Protecting the Gates
In
Matt. 12:34, it says, “You offspring of vipers! How can you speak good
things when you are evil? For out of the heart the mouth speaks” (amp).
So if we put anger in our heart, anger will be displayed out of our
mouth. How do we get into the heart? The first way is by the ear gates.
This can happen through listening to secular music ongoing or even
surround ourselves with people that cursing is there first language.
(That was me back in my days. Thank you, Jesus, for changing me.)
Secondly, we can reach the heart by through our eye gates.
This happens through watching inappropriate shows on TV or other such things as pornography or violence on a computer. Final way is through the mouth gate. If we speak anger, we then will hear anger. Anger will eventually find its way to our heart. In the same way, if we speak negative things about ourselves or others, once again we hear them, and they will find their way to our heart. These are just a few examples of what may happen if there is no watchman at these gates. If we take a defensive stand, our offense can never be beaten. Now we give God more room to operate. Just because the enemy is at the gate does not me we are obligated to let him in!
