What is SPAM? Here is the definition of spam from the
online dictionary: Disruptive messages, especially commercial messages posted
on a computer network or sent as e-mail.
Now of course this message is not
just about electronic spam, it's actually about "Spiritual Spam". The Lord started speaking to me about this
spiritual spam. Having the understanding
of what electronic spam is will help me explain and you to understand about
this spiritual spam that the Lord has been speaking to me about.
What is Spiritual Spam?
He is showing me that just as
unwanted electronic e-mail spam is received by us, so is negative spiritual
mental spam received by us. They are
also disruptive messages that are sent to us by evil outlets. It's simple you must make the choice to
receive it or reject it.
Why is it Sent to Us?
The main point of spiritual spam
is to steal, kill and destroy; it is a direct attack to keep us mentally in a
place where the "Blessing of the Lord" cannot fully manifest in our lives. Worry, lack, fear, lust, perversion,
sensuality are just some examples, and they come packaged in many different
harmless looking thoughts.
The Good News
Once we are made aware of these
spiritual spam messages, then we can choose to not accept, entertain, or
interact with them any longer.
Remembering to take every thought captive, to obey Christ.
Here are some simple steps to
reject that unwanted spiritual spam.
Receive the gift of salvation,
start that life long relationship with Jesus Christ if you haven't yet, start
now. Now is the time. Receive the Holy Spirit.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
Read the Holy Scriptures and
receive the renewing of your mind.
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that
which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Fellowship with those who are
walking closely with the Lord, those who will lead you deeper into fellowship
with the Lord.
Proverbs 13:20 He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of
fools will suffer harm.
1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived, evil discourse corrupts pleasant minds.
Think on Things Holy
Keep your thoughts and eyes on
things pleasing to the Lord.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things.
Remembering that the lust's of
our own heart will empower these messages if we allow them. Just like you wouldn't click on a link or
receive an offer sent to you through electronic email spam, don't accept,
entertain, or interact with the messages (thoughts) of spiritual spam.
James 1:14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed
by his own lust.
Ask the Lord to deal with
anything in your heart or mind that attracts to the evil spiritual spam that
wants to keep you in the place of lack, death, poverty, unfruitful
thinking, any form of evil.
God wants the best for you and in His word He shows us how to stay in
the place to believe and receive all of the best that He has for us, and it
starts with what we allow our minds to think and act on.
1Thessalonians 4:7 For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in
sanctification.
Romans 6:19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your
flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to
lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as
slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.
So stay free in Christ in your
mind and keep that spiritual "Spam Filter On."
