ENSURE PURE THOUGHTS: GARRISON YOUR HEARTS DILIGENTLY WITH GRACE – THE ISSUES OF YOUR LIFE WELL-BEING DEPENDS ON IT!
“GUARD your HEART ABOVE all else, for it DETERMINES the COURSE of your LIFE” Proverbs 4:23 NLT.
As a man thinks so is he, the Scriptures says. You become the thoughts of your being over time. If you dwell on IMPURE THOUGHTS, soonest you become it. When you give your hearts to PURE THOUGHTS, you become same. Therefore garrison your hearts with pure thoughts diligently and live free from impurities. And FEED NOT ON IMPURE THOUGHTS TRANSMISSION from any if you wants the good health of your total well being.
“FOR AS HE THINKS IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE [in BEHAVIOR—one who MANIPULATES]. He says to you, “Eat and drink,” Yet his heart is not with you [but it is BEGRUDGING the cost]” Proverbs 23:7/Amplified.
“I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with PURE CONSCIENCE, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day” 2 Timothy 1:3.
Make no relationship with person or people of impure thoughts, lest you become as them. A pure conscience and good heartedness and love unfeigned and sincere faith in God in Christ Jesus, should be your watchword. Let there be no intimate fellowship with any who devote their life with solely IMPURE messages and information by any media formats – written, audio, video or pictorial. Soonest that seed of impurities will define your thinking process. Ensure you stop such person or group from setting their messes on you before they ruin you. You may not be able to stop person’s or people from coming around you but you can stop them from leaving their IMPURE THOUGHTS transmission formats from getting into you.
“Holding the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
“Unto the PURE ALL THINGS ARE PURE: but unto them that are DEFILED AND UNBELIEVING IS NOTHING PURE; but even their MIND and CONSCIENCE is DEFILED” Titus 1:15.
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.
Ensure you garrison your hearts with the WORD OF GRACE that will keep you safe in order to create a magnetic field and force that becomes your default to filter out and disallow any entrance of such defiled and impure messages into your hearts.
“My son, give ATTENTION TO MY WORDS; INCLINE your EAR to my SAYINGS. 21 Do not let them DEPART from your EYES; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they are life to those who find them, And HEALTH to all their flesh” Proverbs 4:20-22/NKJV.
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are sanctified” Acts 20:32.
Guard your hearts safely, for out of it are issues to define your well being. For your life follows after your thoughts. Your thoughts process your direction of life travels. BE SAFE from every adulteration that flys around you no matter who may be transmitting such. It’s your life, and it’s within your will to say NO!
“KEEP (GUARD) thy HEART with all DILIGENCE (VIGILANCE); for out of it are the ISSUES (SPRINGS) of LIFE” Proverbs 4:23 (Emphasis Mine).
I do hope and pray that you will intentionally resolved within you to keep at arms length any source or means of that which does not build your faith in God in Christ Jesus; and all that’s it’s an avenue of stain, pollution and disdain of the enemy and cohorts, that you must keep at bay in order for you to advance in the kingdom cause of God; and you do this, not necessarily only for yourself but for all that concerns you, and those you love and cares about without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.
SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!

“Now the PURPOSE of the commandment is LOVE from a PURE HEART, from a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and from SINCERE FAITH, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.” 1 Timothy 1:5-7/NKJV.
“EAT thou not the BREAD of him that hath an EVIL EYE, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7 FOR AS HE THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 8 The MORSEL which thou hast EATEN shalt thou vomit up, AND LOSE THY SWEET WORDS” Proverbs 23:6-8.
“But those things which PROCEED out of the MOUTH come forth from the HEART; and they DEFILE the man. 19 For out of the HEART PROCEED EVIL (IMPURE) THOUGHTS, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 these are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man” Matthew 15:18-20 (Emphasis Mine).
“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” Philippians 4:8.
“For though we WALK in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. 4 The WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are DESTROYING SOPHISTICATED ARGUMENTS and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up AGAINST the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every THOUGHT and PURPOSE captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/Amplified.
“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. DO NOT LET ANYONE DESPISE YOU” Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).
