Our eyes are the light of our body. What we set before them is what we eminate, our light if you will.
One day, my mother was cleaning a pastor's house. She told me that downstairs, there were all these amazing books and movies, nothing over PG. But upstairs in his and his wife's bedroom, there were horrible books and rated R movies everywhere. My mother told me that as soon as she walked in there to clean, she stopped dead in her tracks. The spirit went from pleasant to demonic in a second.
It matters very much what we watch and what we listen to and read. They program our thoughts, which leads to our words, which leads to our actions.
The sexual things we put in front of our eyes will lead to sexual thoughts, which will lead to sexual acts and even early pregnancy.
The scary things we put in front of our eyes will lead to shadowed thoughts, which will lead to being fearful of many, many things.
All of this is true! I've done research and examined the people that watch and read and listen to certain things, and all of this has happened. From girls my age, to grown women.
This is another reason why fasting is so important. By fasting media, pleasure reading, and questionable music for a month, it reprogrammed my mind to pure thoughts again. Because there was a time where I was in a very bad place and was about to end my life. But my mother saved me, by putting me on this fast.
If it saved me, it can save others. Some of whom even think that it can't, but it will.
