The Eye Gate – No Wicked thing!
Beloveds, I want to say well done to you for training your eyes to not look in the natural. Well done for unhooking from the suggestions of the world and for turning to Jesus for answers.
So then, let us wrap up and finish with this gate today.
May we stay mindful of what we allow ourselves to see, look at and hook our eyes into.
Psalm 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes – The wicked thing here refers to Belial which means worthless. David was saying that he will not look upon and tolerate worthless things. If any ungodly or unjust thing be suggested to him when he is looking at it, whatsoever pretenses it may be covered with, he will cast it out of his mind and thoughts with abhorrence, so far will he be from putting it in execution.
I hate the work of them that turn aside – literally, the doing of acts that swerve, that depart from the right way.
It shall not cleave to me – David would shake it off as a thing accursed.
Let us read this verse from the Passion translation.
Psalm 101:3 I refuse to gaze on that which is vulgar. I despise works of evil people and anything that moves my heart away from you. I will not let evil hold me in its grip.
Beloveds, we have spoken about many things concerning our eye gate these last weeks and there are so much more to be said about it, but I want to urge us all to not stop now, to stay alert and awake in this gate. May we constantly keep this scripture close to our hearts. May we say that we won’t tolerate vulgar, worthless things that affects our seeing in the spirit. May we hate the things that will turn us away from the Lord. May we be quick to see and shake evil off like accursed things before it takes hold of us.
Let us stick in there and keep cleansing this gate so that everything God has purposed for us here will be manifested in Jesus name.
Let us pray: Father God, thank You for Your faithfulness and love that will never change for me. Thank You for Your patience with me. I have so many shortcomings, but yet You do not give up on me. I love you for that. Lord, please guide me in this process of cleaning my eye gate. I give it all into Your hands and I give You permission to interfere and convict my heart when my eyes are wandering, when I am entertaining things in this gate that does not glorify Your name. Please come and deliver this gate completely from all contamination and bring it out of darkness into Your light. I want to see what You see, I want my see in the spirit to be pure and holy, set apart for only You Jesus. I choose to proclaim like David did in Psalm 101:3 I refuse to gaze on that which is vulgar. I despise works of evil people and anything that moves my heart away from you. I will not let evil hold me in its grip. Father, may Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is written in heaven for my eye gate in the name of Jesus, because of His blood that was shed for me at Calvary. Amen and amen
