If your intention is to show off that you fast, you fast in vain. God can see your heart. If you fast in order to show off, your prayer can't be answered by God.
There are things that come from the mouth which is not from the heart ♥.
When we first hear word, it may not reach the heart instantly. When you hear the word, you can keep it in your heart before it reach your mind.
For devil to convince you, he would show you illusion, so be careful on things that you listen to because what you hear is what you would be save in your heart. It is what you keep in your heart that that you would think of.
You derive your thinking from your heart, you think from what you are told. Block everything that can corrupt your mind, don't allow them enter.
They say "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" but how about about those that ask you to come and eat and it didn't reach their mind?
Be careful of what you look at, what you listen to and what you watch. Always think positively, not negative thoughts 💭.
What we should think of is the live of Christ. As love covers multitude of sins. Love prevails. Let us set our mind on the things that are above, not the things of the world because it is what you hear that your mind would be full of.
In seasons and out of seasons, preach the word of God, it means preach the word of God anytime and our manners of life can be a preaching.
Don'ts because of show off do all things that you do because if you do, you do it to oppress your fellow men which is unfair. Even when you are fasting, no one need to know, only your God and your spouse can know of it (if you are married) if someone else know of it, then you have show off.
That are words that come out from the mouth 👄 but it doesn't come from the heart, it's not all that we say come from our heart. When we first hear the word, it won't go to heart instantly, it would first go to the mind and only when you save it, the it would be saved inside the heart, that is why you need to be careful of what you listen to.
The devil would show you his illusion so as to have you, but the more you listen to bad things, it would be in your mind and may save in your heart and you derive your thinking from your heart ♥.
Be careful of what you watch, what you listen to and think positive, not negative, what we should be thinking of is the live of Christ. As love prevails, let us set the things that are above, not the things of the World.
Preach ceaselessly, preach without season, preach the world of God at anytime.
