Who Speaks Into Your Life


It's very important to be equally yoked, it is important on many levels, but how many of us really look at who speak into our lives. Speaking into our lives has only one meaning, as it means the people, and those things that influence us at some level in our lives.

Not just people, but the things we identify with, we do often, or care about. This can be habits, desires we pursue, and of course people we associate with. These are all considerations of what speaks into our lives. We are God's treasure, and therefor we need to be mindful of what has access to the treasure chest. We must understand that not everything we do is the right, or righteous, thing to do. Paul states:

"All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." 1 Corinthians 6:12 (Amplified)
We can choose any road in life to travel on, but not all roads lead to the throne of God, and eternal life. There is only one road that does that, Jesus. 
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6 (KJV)
That is the ONLY way home, and the reason for discipleship in Christ. As it say in Romans 8:17 (KJV): 
"And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."
We must be walking with Christ to get back home to our father God. So we must be mindful of the things that damage that walk, that is why linked to the previous post, as it gives you an idea of what being unequally yoked means. We must be diligent in our Walk Of Faith at all times. It goes hand in hand of the definition of prayer: "communing with the mind of God".

We fulfill the unction to pray without ceasing (as in always, all the time), and will protect us from having that which speaks into our lives not being of God, or again supporting our Walk Of Faith. Things that even seem good and of God, can be harmful to us. We must learn to hear God and walk in the purpose and power He has placed in out lives. Hearing God is about our relationship with Him, and the power that He is in our lives.

This keeps us from sin, and it's many ways it seeks to enter in. It is also about attention and focus, what do we set our minds upon, what do we feed it? TV, movies, music, and the like, are all activities of the mind and what affects it. It is a garden we should jealousy guard against the weeds of the world.

We are constantly bombarded by life, and all that it holds. But we hold the reigns of control in our own hands. Some choices may be harder than others, but in refining our Walk Of Faith with God we can rest assured that He will help us in our efforts to be clean and holy before His throne.

He tells us this: 
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV).
So God is telling us that everything that assails us to sin, that with that temptation He has given a way to overcome it every single time. That is why from Genesis to Revelation, God has said for us to be perfect. Not as the world sees it, being without flaw, but as God sees it that we walk in the power of redemption (Grace) at all times of or lives.

That is the power of God in our lives through the discipleship in Christ Jesus. 

Our Walk Of Faith is a power, and we should always walk in that power. It silences the voices that seek to speak into our lives, and in that is everything. Our journey home, our relationships, our testimony, and basically our lives. And that power of faith is ours to use.

Be blessed, be loved and be at peace. May the light of God's presence and glory fire the brilliance of your souls. You are greatly love,
