Soul Detox – Day 3

Soul Detox Devotion suggests we have 4 categories of toxic thoughts.  Check them out.

negative, fearful, discontented, and critical

Which types of toxic thoughts do you experience most often? What are some examples of your toxic thoughts?

via Jeremiah 12 NASB | YouVersion.com.

Our Soul Detox suggested reading is Jeremiah 12. You might notice Jeremiah had some toxic thoughts and he vented them to Yahweh. We can do that and when we have  a submissive heart, He will heal us.

Negative: 2. lacking positive or affirmative qualities, such as enthusiasm, interest, or optimism 3. showing or tending towards opposition or resistance via negative – definition of negative by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Fearful: scared, afraid, alarmed, frightened, nervous, terrified, apprehensive, petrified, jittery via fearful – definition of fearful by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Discontented: (with this one, don’t ‘kill’ the messenger; this is what it says): dissatisfied, complaining, unhappy, miserable, fed up, disgruntled, disaffected, vexed, pissed off (taboo slang), displeased, fretful, cheesed off (Brit. slang), brassed off (Brit. slang), with a chip on your shoulder (informal) via discontented – definition of discontented by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Critical: marked by a tendency to find and call attention to errors and flaws  via critical – definition of critical by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Starting at the bottom, this I can say I do not want to be known by family and friends as a person marked by a tendency to find and call attention to errors and flaws.  Of this I am sure! IF I think that way regularly and consistently I will talk that way. So will you.

Discontented. I think all I can say to this is it is the opposite of

11 Not that I am saying this to call attention to any need of mine; since, as far as I am concerned, I have learned to be content regardless of circumstances.

via Philippians 4:10-12 CJB – In union with the Lord I greatly – Bible Gateway.

which could only mean when I think discontented (toxic) thoughts, I will surely speak them and that will put me in direct violation of my ABBA’s Word.

Fearful. Need we discuss that? We KNOW perfect love casts out fear. So if we are full of fearful (toxic) thoughts, we can know for sure we are doubting the LOVE of our GOD – lacking in spiritual maturity.  That smarts! Ouch!

1 John 4:18 King James Version (KJV)

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

via 1 John 4:18 KJV – There is no fear in love; but perfect – Bible Gateway.

Negative. Toxic indeed! Could ruin a perfectly good life with this category! And I don’t want a ruined life — it’s the only one I get here on planet earth and I understand that how I live here determines my rewards in Heaven.

1 Corinthians 3:14-16 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

14 If the work someone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward;
15 if it is burned up, he will have to bear the loss: he will still escape with his life, but it will be like escaping through a fire.
16 Don’t you know that you people are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

via 1 Corinthians 3:14-16 CJB – If the work someone has built on the – Bible Gateway.

I think I have said enough for today, :)

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

ABBA, it is hard watching these passages of Your Word played out here in America. Please forgive and have mercy; please raise up some weeping Prophets as was Jeremiah; and others like Nehemiah and those with the meekness and boldness of JESUS our Savior to boldly preach Repentance and Salvation in JESUS alone. Please save America and please let me be one of Your servants to participate in a HOLY SPIRIT poured out revival and an awakening in America.

7 Blessed is the man who trusts in Adonai;

Adonai will be his security.

8 He will be like a tree planted near water;

it spreads out its roots by the river;

it does not notice when heat comes;

and its foliage is luxuriant;

it is not anxious in a year of drought

but keeps on yielding fruit.

via Jeremiah 17 CJB – “Y’hudah’s sin is written with an – Bible Gateway.

To flourish even in a drought; that is Adonai’s will for you and me. I pray it to be so.

Father, I pray to be such a tree with deep roots that find love, trust, faith, peace, and strength in times of the fiercest drought.  This morning I have many to bring for blessing. with various needs and situations, for wisdom, guidance, peace, and wholeness.  Father, You know the anxieties and the deep cries of our hearts.  Close friends with tender needs. Family with plans and dreams. And this day for all who come here to read and pray for today be a HOLY SPIRIT heeded day and a day to exalt JESUS in every place and to make HIM known in our individual spheres. And as this day closes that we will know we have done well, Father and You are pleased with Your children for JESUS’ namesake. 

Blessings of Joy and Peace,

Kindle the Fire

Without a doubt I am reading this verse out of context but even so I have heard ABBA’s voice and I am rejoicing in it.

14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
via Jeremiah 21:13-14 KJV – Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant – Bible Gateway.

I got ahead of myself and posted a blurb to Facebook before coming here.  I said this:

“But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings . . . ”
Jer. 21:14 in part. These words blessed and comforted me this morning.
And no not because I am wanting to see anyone ‘get what is coming to them’. Waiting for that would put me in line for discipline myself.
I am grateful that GOD is just. That He governs all and that I can trust Him to correct ME justly! And I use the word correct because for me that is what He does — JESUS has already taken ALL MY PUNISHMENT. Oh how AWESOME HE IS!!!
Just saying. Take it for what it is worth to you. ABBA rules! :)


Perhaps I can elaborate here. Truly I am grateful that I stand individually before ABBA. That He individually looks after my doings and when my doings violate His Word, He deals with me. He kindles a fire.  Praise Him for that!! And may that fire be so that it burns away and devours all that offends Him. Burns it away in the here and now. I Corinthians sheds more light on why I say that.  Look. See what I mean.

14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
via 1 Corinthians 3:14-16 KJV – If any man’s work abide which he hath – Bible Gateway.

May I heed the fire here and prevent the need for fire there!! So tell me am I alone in this? Any others see and amen this?  Just curious.

And I have something else burning in my soul too. I am as convinced of it as anything in a long while. It is this:

Praying Together Aloud in the Body of Christ will bring the revival fires that some are saying we need not only in the Churches but in America.

It is the gathering together of the People of GOD, coming together, assembling for the expressed purpose of joining voices and hearts in PRAYER that will move the Hand of GOD on behalf of this world.  Closet prayer is a MUST but it is not enough! Gathering together and one leading in prayer and others praying silently is good; there is time and place for that but if we want a Move of the HOLY SPIRIT, we will assemble others (even by telephone) together and we will speak our praise and our petitions before the Throne of GOD. Have we not read that life and death are in the power of the tongue? Have we not read that we are  commanded to speak words of life?

If we want Him to move, we will obey, we will gather together and voice our praise and our petitions to Him and He will hear from heaven and He will heal us and this land. Does He hear and answer individual, voiced only in the heart prayer? Of course He does! It is not He that needs the coming together it is us! We are edified and our own faith is increased when we hear our brothers and sisters pouring out their hearts in fervent, effective, righteous prayer before our Father.  

If you have ever heeded any word you have read here at The White Stone, hear this one: Seek and find the prayer partner/partners that ABBA has for you and voice your praise and petition to Him, together regularly and often!

This has been a long one so I shall not keep you longer.

HOLY SPIRIT, take this writing offering and administer it as You will. Thank You for miracles of healing and miracles of protection we have seen and we pray for more. We ask You to heal our sick and afflicted and to save our wayward, rebellious souls we love so much. Amen and     .

We have the God-given Right to do right in this wrong World,
Praying (PFT)!
