You Are What you…..

Deacon J Jones 10-18-2009

EVER HEARD THE SAYING, "Der Mensch ist, was er ißt."

That translates into English as 'man is what he eats'. Aka You are what you eat…

I could go on a whole spill about that but tonight I want to speak on “You are what you hear, But do you Hear what you Are?

In this world we have so many things twisting our minds on a daily basis that we never take notice of. Without notice how can there be correction! Just think about it, how do you start your day off? Most of us have jobs and kids, and so early in the morning we wake up throw our clothes on grab the kids and hit the door. Once we hop in the car and cut the radio on it’s either our favourite r&b cd or Rap artist or maybe just a favourite radio station. Most of us do not realize that this is a problem. I know for me I would drop the kids off and soon as they were out the car I was blasting my fav rap artist filling my mind with harsh language, killing, drug selling, & boasting about money and jewels.

For the R&B listeners they have some nice artist out there but for the most part you are hearing about pre-marital sex, cheating or being cheated on & issues in relationships that don’t pertain to what God’s will Is for you and your relationship. We take all of this in and fail to realize that is a ploy of the enemy to control our minds and knock us off of our mark. THINK ABOUT IT!!!! You arrive at work full of rap music “ME” and as soon as someone says something I don’t like the attitude kicks in “Harsh Language” or the feeling of man this don’t pay me enough I could be out hustling or making it happen ”Drug dealing & boasting about money & Jewels”

R&b listeners. Those same lyrics you just took in cause you to get to work & lust after one that isn’t yours, ”Cheating” have wicked sexual thoughts ”Pre Martial Sex” and even put strain on your marriage/relationship fuelled by lyrics that you don’t even understand you find yourself relating to. TV is another issue…What do you watch or allow your family to take in? Those same spirits that we laugh at on TV about dysfunctional families & the world tells us it’s just comedy, is the same comedy that is destroying our homes, teaching our kids the opposite of what the word says and causing us to lose control over our families & our souls.

Since the beginning of time Satin has found ways to deceive us and make us think that the very thing that is SOMETHING is merely NOTHING. Don’t be fooled People of GOD. Be aware Be cautious Be on Guard But most of all Be STEADFAST in the WORD!!!! In the morning instead of putting on Young Jeezy, Mary J or that morning show Put on the Whole armour of GOD! Eph. 6:10-11 “Put on the full armour of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil ”Listening to the Word of God so that we may be doers of the WORD. Stay in the word so when trials come we can pull from it instead of looking for it. Look to the Word for refuge not the World.
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." -1st John 2:15,16
Take in the Word of God so that you may speak the word of GOD. Let it dwell in you and you in it. Take a good look at yourself or should I say LISTEN. When you speak is it the wisdom and knowledge of our Father or the rubbish and foolishness of the world? Does your mind plot & scheme on ways to get paid or get over on the next person or is it full of joy happiness and obedience. If not this is definitely a wake-up call! Deuteronomy 11:18-22 (New International Version)
18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, 21 so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.
22 If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow—to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways and to hold fast to him-
