Avoid Godless Chatter

AVOID GODLESS CHATTER

Why is it important to avoid Godless chatter? Can’t I just say what is on my mind? Does God know what I am thinking? Does God know what I am going to say before I say it? Can’t I talk about sports, politics, the weather, TV shows, music and entertainment news? The World and its vices have so much to offer to my senses and mind. The World can keep me talking all the time, memorizing worldly comedy and songs. Talking about my family, friends and neighbors personal business and lives. It is easy to get bound up in chatter other than what pleases the One who loves me and created me to be His. When I became a follower and disciple of Jesus I gave up my will and surrendered it to Jesus for the Kingdom of God. So, a course joke, a slanted comment, or simply talking about the weather and sports as your daily diet for conversation can lead me away from the mission I have from God. The enemy earnestly desires to get my mind off of God, in order to render me unfruitful and to keep me from maturing in Christ. Check all thoughts and conversations, bringing them to Christ for His approval. For just as Godless chatter can lead you away from Him, Godly conversation will draw you and others closer to Him. Be transformed by renewing your mind through reading, memorizing, and meditating on God’s Word. Build up one another; encourage! Praise and worship together, drawing each other closer to God.

APPLICATION

The enemy uses every worldly means, including our own flesh, to give us direction for our lives. And the direction that he desires is away from God. He uses TV, counselors, friends, self-help books, seminars, emotions, even family members… anything and anyone who does not direct us to God and His Word. But God has placed inside every believer the wonderful Counselor, the Holy Spirit; and He has given us His Word, the Holy Bible. All that we could ever need for perfect guidance has been given to us! The living God, who knows all things, dwells inside of us; and He desires to guide us into all truth. Seek God’s guidance daily; He promises to give generously to all who ask.

THE CROSS

January 15, 2024 by mitch

Has someone you know or a complete stranger done something to help or, bless you? At the time, these individuals stand out in our minds. But little by little, as time goes by, we tend to forget how important this act of kindness was to us. Take time every morning and throughout your day to remember all that occurred before, during, and after our Lord’s death on the cross. For you will be drawn closer to Him, living in an attitude of gratitude leading to worship and praise, living in the Spirit all through your day. The enemy won’t have a chance to diminish in your memory this gracious and loving sacrifice because you will be worshipping in the presence of your King, ever mindful of this great gift.

Remember our Lord’s death on the cross living in an attitude of gratitude

I Am He

January 15, 2024 by mitch

To know God’s names is to know God. In them we see His unchanging character. When God tells you, “I AM THAT I AM,” He is showing you His true essence. Absolute integrity, truthfulness, no darkness at all; what you see is what you get. In a world of manipulation it is comforting to know that the one true living God comes to you in complete openness and honesty. And you never have to worry about Him changing. These same qualities are seen in Jesus; He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and He is your Savior. He dwells within you, upon you, goes ahead of you, and comes behind you. There is great and mighty power in His Name. This power is His love for you. Remember that He who is in you is greater than your enemy who is in the world.

Do not let rejection effect you

January 15, 2024 by mitch

Do not let rejection effect you as you press on to live a life worthy of the calling God has given you. Those who live in darkness cannot stand the Light. As they hated Jesus, so they will also hate you. Stand firm! Continue on the path God has called you to, despite rejection. In love, use the Scripture you have learned when sharing your faith with others and let the Holy Spirit minister to their hearts. No matter how despised and rejected you are by the world, remember that you are precious in God’s sight. The battle is God’s; let Him handle the world’s rejection and hatred. Do not let rejection effect you.

Snatch someone from the fire

January 14, 2024 by mitch

We, the children of God, know the outcome of the battle that we are engaged in. The enemy deceives himself and others, by his pride, that the ending will be different. Remembering that his end is sure will give you comfort and courage to fight the good fight of the faith and not to become weary. You have been set free from the enemy to throw off anything that might hinder your walk with Christ! Those who do not believe will be thrown out from the presence of God, which is not God’s desire for them. He loves them and wants them to be with Him. Heeding these warnings should give us a sense of compassion and urgency to share our faith with others. Keep them in mind as you go out among the world. Be available to be used to snatch someone from the fire.

Strong Foundation Strong Defense

January 13, 2024 by mitch

Strong Foundation, Strong Defense is well-known to experienced martial artists but hard to learn for the novice.

Focusing on our Foundations forces one to look at what our feet are doing. Where they are placed and what direction they are heading. We then start to examine the strength of our balance and distribution of weight on each foot. If our Foundation never stands firm and is constantly shifting, our balance and control of weight distribution is compromised. This Foundation also connects to our core or what we call heaven , in Totally Christian Karate (which is where our power comes from) or our “Home” in Gentleness in Motion. We first, have to learn the correct technique of the Foundation. Second, we have to find the correct distancing of our feet for our own body. Third, we have to practice just standing in that Foundation. Fourth, we have to learn how to walk in that Foundation. Fifth, Learn to walk from one foundation into another, forward and backward. Now the rest of our Defense is ready to be added without compromised power and agility.

So be patient beginning students. This process takes a tremendous amount of focus and practice. If you have not practiced each step of the process at least 100 times you have not been formally introduced yet to that Foundation. After 300 repetitions you should start to feel comfortable. Don’t be deceived that you can skip this step and be effective. You will have movement but no power!

The same process is in effect with our Scriptural Self Defense. Take the time to learn and grow in the Foundations of your faith. First, we learn the name of the technique. Second, we memorize a scripture for that technique that we can explain what it means. Third, we do the Bible Study for that technique to get the balance. Fourth, we practice walking and doing. Fifth, we can go from subject to subject, doing, speaking the Word of God to edify, correct and warn those God loves.

The Lie of Gluttony

January 13, 2024January 12, 2024 by mitch

What does the Word of God say about Glut·tony

noun \ˈglət-nē, ˈglə-tə-nē\: the act or habit of eating or drinking too much.

plural glut·ton·ies Full Definition of GLUTTONY

1: excess in eating or drinking

2: greedy or excessive indulgence

[Pro 23:1 NIV] When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you,
[Pro 23:2 NIV] and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.

[Deu 21:20 KJV] And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son [is] stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a drunkard.
[Pro 23:21 KJV] For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe [a man] with rags.

So what

that I am a few pounds or maybe even more than a few pounds overweight? What does that have to do with my love and devotion to God? Who really cares anyway? These are some of the rebellious defense thoughts that my flesh spews when confronted with the lie of Gluttony.

I know, my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. But is it really about the physical health of my physical body? If it were, those who have medical illnesses would be in peril of accusation of the enemy of not loving the Lord. So maybe it’s not about the outside flesh but a matter of light and darkness that dwells within this body of flesh in my heart and will. The Temple is a place where the Lord dwells and we meet with Him. So the question is, “Has my temple been defiled by a lie of the enemy?” What is the thought that allows me to continue to over eat?

My thoughts that lead to gluttony are justified by the whispers of my enemy. It can be justified selfishness, pride and rebellion of wanting what I want when I want it. Deceived into not really caring about how the Lord feels about it. I forget about the starving and dying. The neighbors not far away that go hungry each night.

It has been written that physical longevity of life is gained in the gym and weight loss is gained in the kitchen. Does God really care if I am “FAT”. Probably not, but He sure cares about my reckless behavior of self pleasure.

Here is a physical and scriptural self-defense technique to remind me of the truth that Jesus is there and loves us.

Expect God to do what He promises

January 12, 2024March 13, 2014 by mitch

When we expect something to happen, we believe and do not doubt the outcome. When we pray, Jesus encourages us to expect God to do what He promises. We can expect God to love us, to never forsake us, to provide for us, to comfort us, to empower us, to bless us, to give us grace and peace, and to stay the same yesterday, today, and forever. Be sure you understand that we do not hold power over God. Our expectation is based upon God’s character, Who He is, our loving sovereign Lord. Watch out for thoughts that put you on the throne! The enemy wants us to that believe we belong there. Expect God to do what He promises.
