20 And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you. 21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”
- Mark 7
Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. It is the same with food, not everything will benefit our bodies, but the food we eat does not defile our purity to GOD. As Yeshua said: Food goes into the stomach, not the heart. It doesn't affect how we think or how we feel, because what influences the heart is not related to food. Food affects our bodies, we when take in food that is good for our bodies, then we will reap good health but if we do not then we develop sickness and also reap the consequences. But this does not matter to GOD as much as what affects our hearts because GOD is after every heart. What goes into our souls influences us and affects the way we think and feel. What do we feed our hearts?
The things we watch, listen, and put our minds into are the things we feed our souls. What are we feeding our souls? TV, Movies, Music, dreams, are they glorifying GOD? This is what we should watch out and take care of what we allow our hearts to influence. Because our hearts is the center of our being. Whatever revolves in our thoughts, that is where our heart is. Therefore, feed yourself with GOD's word, for this will purify your souls, listen to Godly music, and things that are from GOD. Everything that does not come from GOD is garbage, throw it out and clean the areas of affecting your soul. Guard whatever you put into your heart, guard your heart well because your heart affects everything you do.
