SHOULD WE EAT EVERYTHING?

MARK 7:18-23

(18)  And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also?  Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;  (19)  Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

(20)  And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. (21)  For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornication s  murders, (22)  Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:  
(23)  All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

COMMENTARY:

Brethren in the Lord,  in this context, Jesus made it clear that there is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but things that come out of him (evil thoughts and deeds), those are the things that defile him.

In other words, it is not a sin for Christians to eat any type of food, (if sanctified by the blood of Christ);  for what we eat will be purged through our stomachs and through the toilet, but we need to be mindful of our thought processes, and what comes out of our actions:  for out of our hearts comes all thoughts whether good or evil.

Jesus says, not to act upon any evil thoughts of our hearts; therefore, let us not defile ourselves by obeying the voice of the enemy (devil) and carry out his evil deeds invoked through our hearts.

As Christians, when thoughts comes into our hearts, let us ask ourselves, (are these thoughts good or evil?, should we act upon them or not?), if our thoughts turns out to be negative; let us rebuke the voice (devil), and he will flee away from us with his evil assignments.

(James 4:7)   Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  


CONCLUSION:

Brethren in the Lord, (How do we avoid these evil thoughts from coming to our minds?)

First of all, we need to read the scriptures every morning and pray for spirit of discernment from good and evil:  we need to pray for protection from all perils and dangers of the day through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  He is able to deliver us from the enemy when we call upon his Holy Name!
Amen and Amen!
