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, :)

Romans 1

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

25 They changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

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,
