Many of us especially the ladies pay special attention on making sure our body is in good shape. We take all sorts of stuff for detoxing our body. We exercise, change our outward appearance just to look and act our best. But does this please God? God wants us to give him our best. He wants us to be clean and our hearts and mind be clean. In a nutshell our inner man must be rid of sin.
We need a spiritual detox/cleansing which will enable us to more clearly hear the Spirit’s voice and see our Savior’s face. This is very vital in our walk with God. We can never say that we are clean or even perfect because we sin daily, so therefore spiritual detox is a must. Our minds have to be renewed with the word of God. Daily we have to ask for a fresh anointing to keep the fire burning. We have to purge ourselves to feel free from the bondage of sin. Detoxing the spiritual man gives us strength to overcome temptation and it also keeps us on the right path to heaven.
In order for us to be a vessel for God’s use, we have to Detox our spiritual man, confess our sins to God and renew our minds. 1 John1 vs 9 says “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Also John 15 vs3 tells us that” we are clean through the word of God. See how important the word of God is? It God’s cleansing agent and prayer is the refining agent. So we must use both for detoxing.
The more we have the word of God in us is the more clean we become on the inside. Psalm 119 vs 11 This result in more praying which will set our soul a blaze with the fire of God (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Let us begin to search ourselves and ask the Lord to also search and cleanse us to get rid of these toxin in our spiritual man. (Psalm 139 vs 23)
