Protection from influence

WORDs of Saving Grace - protection from influence

Proverbs 4:23  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Are there areas in your life that hurt your heart? Perhaps someone who continues to discourage and pull you down over and over? 

Maybe there is a habit which you know is not good, yet it always seems to win again and again. (Romans 7:15).

There is a way to be delivered from these "issues of life"... Purposefully remove that influence from your life, and replace it with the influence of Christ. (Romans 7:24-8:1)

There are many teachers and preachers, self help seminars and motivational speakers. But just like the guy who lives "in a van down by the river" they are not all good influence (1 John 4:1,2).

Jesus came and gave His life so that we would have a life of victory, love and peace (John 10:10, 11). Is money, possessions and prosperity bringing forth the love and peace of God in your life? If not turn away from that influence and follow Christ. (Luke 18:22).
