Summary: Moral filth and evil are sometimes things that WE must deal with, here is a message stating why that is the case.
REMEMBER, IF WE CLEAN OUT THE BED BUGS, THERE WON’T BE ANY BED BUGS: I know this is a duh, but how often do we allow small things like bed bugs to fester in our lives? A lot don’t we?
2. Get Rid of the Evil:
BIBLE VERSE:
ROOFTOP EVANGELISM: “Rooftop Evangelism” at sermonspice.com. In this video, this guy does a fantastic job of teaching people how to get rid of evil, he really gets to the heart of the matter (essentially, in the video clip, this guy shouts cliché evangelism terms off of his rooftop towards people doing bad things down below, its pretty unbelievable).
I WILL SAY THIS GUY DOESN’T HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA HERE, GETTING RID OF EVIL STARTS FROM WITHIN…
3. Accept the Word:
BIBLE VERSE:
WHAT ABOUT THOSE THAT DON’T “LIKE” THE WORD? Not to be to rude, but what is their problem? Seriously, the Bible can be a lot to digest, the following example will illustrate this. But, what would cause spiritual food to be upchucked from it?
A LOT TO DIGEST:
The digestive system is the body’s way of cutting down the food our bodies consume by breaking down chemicals into smaller parts that then can be absorbed and put to good work through the blood stream. It starts in the mouth where teeth and saliva work first, then later the chemicals in the stomach work to do their job as well. Next, the gastrointestinal systems take over as the small and large intestines complete the task and finally the unnecessary remains are eliminated. It is an absolutely remarkable system in that every different food item taken in is used and then later eliminated in different ways—its almost as if the body at times knows exactly what it needs and how to use it.
But there can be problems. Blockages, bloating, gall stones, diabetes, and dozens of more problems can occur inside the friendly confines of the body, and often times these problems have taken place despite the person doing everything right and eating the correct amount of food quantity and quality.
During the end of the Nazi Holocaust, when the brave American soldiers arrived at what was left of the work camps, they experienced sights of death that had never been seen before in all of history. And for some of those newly freed captives who were still alive, there was an amazing discovery. Some of those close to death actually had lost the ability to intake food. As soldiers fed bread to those near death, the bread was actually spit out of their mouths because the body had already cannibalized itself from all remaining muscles and fat mass making food consumption impossible. Though stories like that were rare, they were well told from one soldier to another.
The Bible has a lot to say about food and food consumption. In fact, there are many scriptural references detailing the similarities between what we read from the Bible and how we take in spiritual food for the purpose of growing closer to the Lord. Hebrews 5 states “On this topic we have much to say and it is difficult to explain, since you have become sluggish in hearing. For though you should in fact be teachers at this time, you need someone to teach you the beginning elements of God’s utterances. You have gone back to needing milk, not solid food. For everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced in the message of righteousness, because he is an infant. But solid food is good for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil.”
