The Gatekeeper
What we allow through our eyes and ears, will ultimately be what we will become.
Emotionally, we are deeply impacted by what we think about – thoughts create feelings, and we usually act out what we feel.
If we allow any activity to consume our time, we will become controlled by that activity and it will become addictive.
Our eyes and ears are the gates to the principles of our lives, our feelings, thoughts, and our actions.
We are not to allow before our eyes--any evil, wicked or worthless things to effect our character, our development, or our behavior in such a way that influences the way we live and honor God.
He calls us to love Him with our whole heart, soul, mind and with all our strength. We are to present our bodies to Him as living sacrifices; ie surrendering our lives back to Him in thanksgiving for all He has done. If we have allowed any activity or desire to control our thoughts, feelings and actions more than God, we are, have, and will, become burdened with adversities, difficulties, issues and chaos!
Allow the Word of God to act as your ‘gatekeeper!’
Gatekeepers can be assigned people, principles or policies that can act as your agent…controlling toxic access to you.
Gatekeepers also act as your watchman or your security guard, to prevent and derail any illegal plan or activity that may be detrimental to your life; and may refuse, control or delay this access in order to protect you.
Alternatively, gatekeepers can also be used to watch over and direct how well you achieve your purpose, and whether your actions meets certain standards that God has set.
What have you allowed your eyes to see, and your ears to hear, because you have granted a leave of absence to your own gatekeeper?
PRAYER : Psalm 139:23
Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!
and see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting; lead me in your way of truth that makes us all free!
