Ephesians 4:31 “let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.”
I herd a story tonight about someone that noticed black mold growing on there bathroom wall behind there toilet it startled her and she thought she was looking at a huge spider freaked out screaming and got her husband to come kill it. Her husband laughed and told her its just mold. That just mold turned out to be manifested threw out the whole bathroom wall where no one could see it. Listening to this story I started to think about about the verse for my ibs… thinking about how I have noticed myself thinking angry, bitter, sinful thoughts threw out the whole day and how that effects the things I speak. I seem to let thoughts like this build up in me so long they start seeping threw my words with out realizing it or my actions with out thinking about that. I found myself beginning to understand deeper how thoughts can be sinful they can’t only effect what’s going on in your head but spread like wild fire or black manifesting mold to people and things around me. In Romans 6:12 it say, “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.” The mold growing in the bathroom was so bad that the whole wall had to be taken out and redone. Now that told me a lot to. Reminded me of when I first started learning and dissecting my anger that had manifested so deep it felt like I had started to remove a piece of myself. And I am still in the process of this everyday trying to be aware of my thought and taking out the angry ones and replacing them with compassion. I want to be aware of them before it grows the way that mold did, have a greater control cleansing my mind with the holy spirit in deep prayer preventing wildfire growth.
Verses that remind me of this:
I Corinthians 14:20 “dear brother and sister, don’t be childish I your understanding of these things. Be innocent as babies when it comes to evil, but be mature in understanding matters of this kind.”
Psalm: 37:8 “refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret it leads only to evil.”
