During this 2020 pandemic, there has been a lot of talk about keeping our gateways cover from COVID-19 so that we’re not exposed to the virus but, what about keeping our gateways covered under the blood of Jesus from all negative influences?
Many of us (as a society and generation) are so quick to expose ourselves to: the wrong conversation(s) and words; things that enters the gateway of our ears. We watch the wrong things (including but not limited to: the lust of the eyes; the media) that enters the gateways of our eyes. We freely expose ourselves to these toxicities through our gateways-infecting our mind, body and soul. (Acts 28:26-27; Jeremiah 5:21)
Through perilous times such as these, we must keep our eyes and ears sanctified and holy (Romans 12:-1-2) so that we can hear what the spirit has to say to our “personal” church, clearly (Matt. 11:15; John 8:47; John 10:27; Isaiah 30:21/55:3 ; Psalm 85:8;) and so that we’re abled to see clearly; the things that Satan wants hidden and disguised by putting scales over our eyes. Things that God wants to be revealed and known unto us. (Acts 26:18; Ephesians 1:18/5:11; John 3:19-21). Negative exposure through our eyes and ears infects our heart and our mind and soon spreads through out; poisoning our body (soul). That’s why the bible says in Proverbs 4:23 to “Keep (guard) your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Philippians 4:6-7; Luke 6:45).
We all deal with issues in our life, and this pandemic is one them for all of us. So much of what we’re seeing and hearing in the media could damage and contaminate our entire soul (fear and doubt) if we’re not covered under the blood of Jesus, if we’re not trusting His Word(s), and if we’re not guarding our gateways from toxicities in the spirit realm (negative energy).
Our enemy, Satan, has manage to infiltrate the body of Christ and he’s seeking to destroy The Body through our gateways…our eyes and ears (refer to the book of Jude). The church is apart of The Body of Christ and aren’t we also “the church”? So the enemy has seeped through areas that we have left open by exposing ourselves to negativity, UNCOVERED! God wants us to separate ourselves from darkness in order to follow Him into the light and into the ark of safety (1 John 1:1-10; John 8:12; Isaiah 60:1-22). God wants us to fill our gateways with things that are pure so that we don’t have any room for anything opposite. (Philippians 4:6-9). The less room we make for God, the more space the enemy has to roam and fill; speaking into our subconscious thoughts and telling us the things that are contrary to The Word of God. The less we expose our gateways (eyes/ears) to the things that are holy and God-pleasing, the more we leave ourselves opened and exposed to the enemy…putting ourselves at risk for a spiritual & eternal death where many are in eternal and constant agony (Matt. 25:41-46; Revelation 20:10; 21:8; Romans 6:23; 2 Thessalonians 1:9; James 1:15; Daniel 12:2).
Before it’s too late, we have time NOW, to give The Father all of us! He’s merciful to warn us and give us an opportunity to make room for Him in our hearts. He’s a great big god so he needs more than a small part of us; more than a small portion of our heart. He needs every inch of us. TOTALLY! He came that we may have life abundantly but, if we fail to surrender all to Him and submit our ways to HIS AUTHORITY, we can not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matt.7:21; 25:31-34)
