Whatever Is True, Noble, Right, Pure, Lovely, Admiral; If Anything Is Excellent, Or Praiseworthy, Think About Such Things

PHILIPPIANS 4:8
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
”‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NKJV‬

What we allow into our minds will influence what comes out of our mouths, our beliefs, our desires, and even our behaviours and attitudes.
If you spend your time socialising with people that constantly use fowl Language, or involve wild parties, or drunkenness, in time you are likely to do the same.
What we take in to our minds from others, the media, books, television, even games will have a large impact on our minds and how we think, especially our children.
The devil uses the media to fill our minds with damaging content-violence, sexual immorality, pornography, false prophecy, proper gander, indeed, much of the fake news media are the false prophets of today.
Corrupt world leaders are using fear to program people’s minds to fulfil their satanic agendas; to manipulate our financial markets, to generate fear through the nations to enable more and more control on the people to bring upon themselves money, power, and status. But what they don’t understand is that those things are temporary and will never truly fulfil them, and like every temporary thing, their gains will come to a painful end.
Only Christ can give eternal fulfilment; it was he who by His blood made a way for all who believe. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But my beloved, our battle is in the spiritual realms, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
This is no fairy tale; it is real and the devil is the source of what’s happening in our world today. It is he and his army that manipulate people, including our world leaders with lies and false promises to bring about his evil agendas; he wants to claim you and as many as he can as his very own.
He uses lies and controls to make the people dependent on the things of this world that he considers are in his hands to separate them from God, that they become dependent on him and make him their god.
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
However, Paul tells us to program our minds with things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and good. These are the things to meditate on.
We believers need to examine what we allow into our and our children’s minds. We must replace harmful input with wholesome material. Above all, make time as a family to read God’s word and pray daily; your children need to receive God’s word too.
The older they get, the less influence you will have on them, so help them to develop a relationship with Christ from the day they are born.
Ask God to help you focus on what is good, to give you discernment, and to empower you to rebuke any impure thoughts you may have.
We need to reject the proper gander and every immoral thing that is being driven into our hearts and minds and focus on the truth.
The end is fast approaching, therefore don’t be sucked in by the devil and his evil schemes. Put your trust in God for all provision regardless of what is happening in the world, take one day at a time, stay right with Him and be ready for His return reaching out to the lost at every opportunity (MATHEW 10:5-10).
Jesus said, ““Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭25‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
