Putting Yourself in Spiritual Danger
When we break spiritual principles in the word of God we can expect to have chaos in our lives, many time to bring peace to our homes and our hearts we just need to re-evaluate where we are in regards to being in line with scripture and where we need to make adjustments and corrections – these five preachers bring a depth to re-aligning yourself with the word of God… and help to properly evaluating your situation.
First Preacher – A Mother
Proverbs 4:20 My son, pay attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.
21 They are not to escape from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart.
22 For they are life to those who find them, And healing to all [f]their body.
23 Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life.
24 Rid yourself of a deceitful mouth And keep devious [g]speech far from you.
25 Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your [h]gaze be fixed straight in front of you.
26[i] Watch the path of your feet, And all your ways will be established.
27 Do not turn to the right or to the left; Turn your foot from evil.
Second Preacher – The Apostle Paul
2 Corinthians 3: 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as [b]by the Spirit of the Lord.
Third Preacher – James
James 1 19[s]You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; 20 for a man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore, ridding yourselves of all filthiness and all [t]that remains of wickedness, in [u]humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. 22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his [v]natural face in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, [w]he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25 But one who has looked intently at the perfect law, the law of freedom, and has continued in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but [x]an active doer, this person will be blessed in [y]what he does.

Tell me three things in your life; and ill predict your future.
1. What books you read
2. What thoughts dominate your mind
3. What kind of people do you hang out with?
The books you read will motivate you to do better or worse in your life.
The thoughts of continual good or thinking of how to destroy other peoples lives. (Your thoughts become action) and the type of people that we all hang out, they will speak life into our actions and they validate our actions.. evil will hangout with evil, good will hangout with good.
Saying goes: “birds of a feather flock together”.. Or “you are judged by the friends you keep”.
My friends and family; let’s continue to build and encourage each other to do better for the next generation.
God bless!
Fifth preacher – Jayson Pagan
Not everyone who hurts you is a narcissist.
Not every hard conversation is emotional abuse.
Not every uncomfortable experience is trauma.
Not every boundary is about cutting people back and out.
I see a trend. Even in the church. I don’t like it.
Mental health is real, and navigating it is supposed to help us grow deeper in Christ.
But, we have WEAPONIZED it.
So often these terms are not being used for understanding and healing, but for CONTROL.
I get that most don’t even realize that they are actually doing this.
Someone holds you accountable and they are TOXIC.
A relationship doesn’t work out and you walk away IN PAIN, and you get labelled a NARCISSIST.
Someone disagrees with you and “they need therapy” or “they need to heal”.
We have turned all this THERAPY SPEAK and PSYCHO-BABBLE into a way to shut people down instead of doing the real CHRISTIAN WORK of self-reflection and love.
I don’t know if we even see the danger in this.
Once you mis-use these words and concepts and people adopt them, they now have a permanent concept in their life that is anti-Christ.
They are worse off than you found them.
Their spiritual life is now stunted by a perversion.
When you label everything as harmful then you never have to challenge yourself, you just spend life avoiding everyone and everything and never call on yourself to forgive, love, grow, look inward, confront your pride, operate in humility, take up the cross, interact with your enemy (or so-called enemy).
You never have look deeper and grow beyond where you are today.
Weaponizing mental health language doesn’t make you heal, IT MAKES YOU FRAGILE.
The more you convince yourself that everything around you is the problem, THE LESS YOU HAVE TO CHANGE. ARE YOU ACTUALLY HEALING OR ARE YOU JUST GIVING YOURSELF PERMISSION TO STAY THE SAME?
The choice belongs to each of us… we either see ourselves as Christ sees us , repenting and refocusing our lives becoming more like him stepping up or as Paul puts it “being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” or as James says we forget who we are and stay the same way, leading to stagnation and ultimately backsliding and spiritual death.
No, I for one want to bring my life and my calling into alignment with the Word and with the call of Christ- following in his foot prints. being in obedience to and following the biblical guidelines for:
