2 Cor 7:1
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. KJV
Stella said “I knew I was not to be watching that kind of movie, but I just sat there and watched it to the end. After watching it, I felt so dirty. The next morning; I couldn’t even pray because I felt so guilty and dirty”. Remi reminded Stella that the blood of Jesus cleanses her, and Christ suffered for her sins and shed his blood to atone for her. She also encouraged Stella to always follow the Holy Spirit’s leading and never bring herself into such situation in which a guilty conscience would hinder her from the presence of God; “That is the most dangerous thing that can happen to a child of God. You are vulnerable at that point and the devil likes to take advantage of such moments. This is why Christians cannot afford to play with sin”.
What makes a man walk in the fullness of his new nature as a child of God is when he perfects Holiness. Our Bible text reveals that the way to perfect holiness is to cleanse yourself from all defilement of flesh and spirit.
Many times, defilement of spirit is usually caused by defilement of flesh. What defiles the flesh is anything that enters the mind, through the (fleshly) senses, that defiles it. What defiles the spirit is anything that enters the heart and spirit, through the mind, that defiles it.
Go into today determined to guard your heart with all diligence. Don’t let anything that is unclean enter your mind. Meditate on God’s word as you go into today- this is how to cleanse yourself (see Psa 119:9, 11)
Prayer: Dear Lord, please help me cleanse my ways by your word. Amen
