The mind is a camera. The eyes deposit snapshots of the visible world in our mind. This makes the eyes the most dangerous gates of influence. This is why the adult entertainment industry revenue is more than 13 billion a year in the United States. It is easy to see why our nation is falling apart. The spiritual foundation we once had is crumbling and falling apart at the seams. What was righteous has now become unrighteous. Men have become lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God.
All it takes is a peek to get a person hooked on pornography. Once their eyes see that material and process that snapshot, it is stored in their mind forever. That snapshot can be replayed in the form of fantasizing and lived out through masturbation. Single Christians have to gird up the loins of their mind and guard it against the contaminations of the world.
These are great resources for married and single Christians who desire to keep their eyes, minds, and hearts pure. We are the righteousness of God. These things should not be once named among you. Be separate says the Lord. Touch not the unclean thing and live a glorious life filled with purpose, enjoyment, and excitement.
He was not referring to hearing with the two natural appendentures attached to the sides of our heads. He spoke of spiritual hearing. During the course of a day, so much pollution passes through our ears via, people, radio, television, music, noise, etc. We have to develop selective hearing. We have to develop ourselves to hear from the Holy Spirit more than anything else.
He talks to us all day long. When we get quiet we can hear him clearly. Sometimes we get certain unctions to do things. Everywhere you go you hear about some threat of disaster. When this happens use that selective hearing and block that junk out.
