There are not many realities today in modern philosophy or in the thought process of modern Christians. Many from the Church live morals that are reflective of fleshly practical urges and desires. Fantasies fostered by easy access to twisted and deeply provacative games, images and videos have shaped the imagination of many in the Christian community. Just knowing it is not real does not dampen the destructive capacity of allowing your mind to dwell upon these things. What enters the mind will work its way outward into our actions, and shape the way we view our Lord and our world view. We cannot turn our focus on and off like a faucet, playing with deadly spiritual forces will bear a distressing and bitter fruit in the life of the person submitting their mind to it.
Our faith must be strong to withstand the firey arrows of Satan's attacks. He sets the trap and we fall into it being drawn by our own lusts and desires, not the desires of Christ. Fear, lack of faith, problems of moral failures are all a result of keeping our minds away from thinking and meditating upon our Lord and His works in this world into which we were born and reborn. While it is still day let us change our ways, turn our affections toward Jesus and not something that will sap our time and efforts taking our time away from those things that are real but unseen.
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.-(Hebrews 11:1-3)
2 Open the gates,
That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
4 Trust in the LORD forever,
For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.- (Isaiah 26:2-4)
