What do you need to UNSUBSCRIBE FROM?

There is too much clouding our minds. There is way too much junk that we look to and wonder why we feel depressed and down. When we wake up we check our phones. When we go to bed we are on them scrolling the information that does not carry any importance to our life. Depending on where you get your news, it is filled with inaccurate information and lies. The “entertainment” industry makes billions off of us. We fill our minds and spirits with unnecessary garbage, and wonder why there is too much conflict, separation, and darkness in our marriages and homes. We are on every social media outlet, and ignore our children or get annoyed because they are “interrupting our time as we put too much time into junk”. We are so curious about the broken multi-millionaire as we lust after their beauty, fame, and money. WHY? they dont know us and never will and honestly if they did they wouldnt give a crap about you…..

Take a moment to reflect on your behavior and priorities. Our children are obese and filled with anxiety. Our marriages are broken due to the lack of Christ-centeredness, infidelity, sexual sin, and neglect from both the husband and wife. Our children are empty, lonely, depressed, and raising themselves or with the guidance of a social media influencer. We wonder why children are having sex at a younger age, using drugs and alcohol, and addicted to pornography.

What behaviors are you modeling for your family? We may not be perfect, BUT if you are continually growing in Christ and he is the Leader and Savior of your life, there should be maturity and growth in your daily walk. You should not be repeating the SAME SINS that you REPENTED from. We need to look over our lives and remove the TOXINS. Everything that draws your attention away from Jesus and your priorities, which as a believer in Jesus should be your relationship with Jesus Christ, marriage(if you are married), and children(if you have a family).

Many years ago, I heard my Pastor say, if soccer, baseball, gymnastics or whatever activity is keeping you and your family from attending worship/fellwoship( AKA: a Bible teaching Church) it NEEDS TO GO. We can apply that same notion to our life. If something is pulling your attention and mind consistently from your devotionals with the Lord and your family. It needs to go. Unsubscribe from it. Remove the APP from your phone. GET RID of all the electronics. Who needs an IPAD, LAPTOP and DESKTOP oh and your smart phone???? Unplug the gaming systems and disconnect from the activities that you know deep down in your heart is a distraction, AN IDOL?

Joshua 1:8, NKJV, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

We all need to unsubscribe from things, people…yes people. Take that in. Pray about it. A relationship that has consumed you and does not GROW YOU CLOSER TO CHRIST. It should be removed.

Unsubscribe from the things of the flesh. What do we like to do, and it’s all we do??? Think about it. Pray about it. Make a conscious decision to stop doing it. Be proactive. Stop making excuses.

Destructive thoughts of yourself, worth, or your precious role as a wife and mother. Pray and stop contributing to it by comparing yourself to those on the internet, neighborhood, work, playdates or church. You are created in the image of God. Your identity is in Jesus Christ. Please do not look at the celebrities and compare yourself or the neighbor who uses Botox and has had plastic surgery. It’s not worth it, and its all fake. Fake? Yes, what you see is NOT what you get. They may be “worldly attractive on the outside” and cold-hearted, dead on the inside. The pictures on the internet and social media are NOT worth your time. Pray for a sound mind. Pray against the attacks of the Evil One in this area. Pray for a breakthrough and peace. Finally, stop looking and comparing yourself. We live in a world where unsubscribing is the BEST thing you can do for you and your family. Mental health is under attack, and we can do something about it.

Money, Fame, beauty, and popularity mean nothing. Pointless. Watch your heart. Protect it. Keep your eyes from things that are luring and “attractive”. Guard your heart. To do this you may need to delete some contacts in your phone, remove apps and websites from your smartphones, desktops, and other electronics. You may need to withdraw from the monthly activity. Or you may need to have conversations. What do you need to remove from your life?

Galatians 6:3-4, NKJV, “For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.”

Disconnect from the gossipy cliques of mothers who do not fill you but make you wonder if they talk the same way (like TRASH) about you. Check out Proverbs 21:23, NKJV, ” Whoever keeps his mouth and tongue keeps himself from troubles”.

What do you need to RUN FROM?????

A relationship or relationships?????
Social media???? Delete them all especially if they are an idol and consume you
Entertainment??? Articles, podcasts, websites, subscriptions
Activities??? Really, like why do 6 different activites in one season- think about spreading them out for your sanity and honestly your children too.

**** Pray and ask the Lord to SHOW YOU****

I lived a life that had idols and activities that consumed me and drew me away from Jesus. I am here to tell you that there is hope, and if you decide to change. It is up to you. Jesus should be first, and everything else stems from that. You can find more here : https://bibleandcake.com/category/my-story/

Colossians 3:16, NKJV, ” Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”
