How to Stay Spiritually Pure and Avoid Unclean Things (Biblical Teaching)
Hello, welcome to another message titled “Keeping Away From Unclean Things.”
Recently, I noticed that I had not been spending as much time reading the Bible as I used to. In the past, I spent a lot of time in praise, worship, thanksgiving, confession, petitions, and other spiritual activities. However, I realized that I was neglecting the aspect of consistently reading and meditating on the Word of God.
A few days ago, despite being very busy, I decided to return to spending time with the Scriptures. I realized that no matter how busy I am, I can still make time for God’s Word. I could listen to audio Bibles while resting, watch Bible videos, or meditate on Scripture throughout the day.
As I started doing this again, the Lord spoke to me and said:
“You have removed the cotton wool from your ears.”
Instantly, I understood what He meant.
There was a time in the past when the Lord told me that I was not hearing from Him as clearly as before. He said something had stuffed up my ears. At that time, I realized that I had not been reading my Bible enough.
This time, when He said, “You have removed the cotton wool from your ears,” I understood that spending time in God’s Word opens our spiritual ears.
The Word of God Helps You Hear God Clearly
If you want to hear the voice of God clearly, you must spend time with His Word.
The Word of God is the voice of God.
Reading the Bible, meditating on Scripture, listening to audio Bibles, watching Bible-based teachings, and filling your mind with the things of God will sharpen your spiritual hearing.
When I consistently read the Bible, I hear from God more clearly and more frequently. Sometimes, the Lord gives me several messages within a short period of time, especially during quiet moments at night.
This does not only happen through confession Scriptures or selected verses. It comes from reading the whole counsel of God books like Matthew, John, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and many others.
The more you fill your heart with God’s Word, the more sensitive you become to His voice.
God Reveals His Secrets to Those Who Fear Him
A few days ago, the Lord told me:
“I will show you My secrets.”
Later, I had a vision where the Lord showed me a girl who had books, materials, and entertainment in her home that promoted:
• Sexual immorality
• Violence
• Horror
• Magic and occult practices
Although she was trying to seek God, she was also experiencing demonic attacks and afflictions.
The Lord used this vision to reveal a spiritual truth:
When believers constantly expose themselves to unclean materials, they give the enemy access into their lives.
These things become points of contact for spiritual oppression.
Philippians 4:8 — What Should Fill Your Mind?
Philippians 4:8 says:
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.”
When you constantly consume violent, immoral, dark, or occult-related content, you are meditating on the opposite of what God commands.
Your heart is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Filling your mind with darkness pollutes your spirit and weakens your spiritual sensitivity.
Unclean Things Open Doors Spiritually
Violence, horror, sexual immorality, occult practices, and ungodly entertainment are not harmless.
They affect the mind and spirit.
The mind is a gateway. Whatever repeatedly enters your mind begins to shape your inner life. Over time, these things can bring confusion, fear, oppression, spiritual weakness, and distance from God.
This is why believers must guard what they watch, read, and meditate on.
Psalm 25:14 — The Secret of the Lord
Psalm 25:14 says:
“The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.”
God wants to reveal His secrets to His people.
He wants to guide you, teach you, and help you walk in victory. But spiritual sensitivity increases when we walk in obedience and purity.
Faith Also Means Obedience
Many people think faith only means believing God for blessings, miracles, or breakthroughs.
But faith is also obedience.
When the Bible says:
• Love your neighbor
• Flee immorality
• Keep your mind pure
• Walk in righteousness
…obeying those instructions is also faith.
Faith means acting on God’s Word.
Hebrews 10:26–31 — A Warning Against Willful Sin
Hebrews 10:26–27 says:
“For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment…”
God calls believers to holiness.
Grace is not a license to continue in deliberate sin. God wants His children to walk in purity, humility, obedience, and reverence for Him.
Remove Unclean Things From Your Life
Acts 19:19 says:
“Many who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all…”
The early believers removed anything connected to darkness.
In the same way, we should avoid:
• Pornographic materials
• Violent entertainment
• Horror movies
• Occult content
• Magic-related materials
• Sexually immoral media
• Anything that pollutes the spirit
If you want the presence of God to dwell richly in your life, you must protect your spiritual atmosphere.
Follow the Example of Christ
Ask yourself this question:
“Would Jesus spend His time consuming these things?”
Jesus was focused on His Father’s business. He lived a life of purity, purpose, obedience, and spiritual focus.
As believers, we are called to imitate Christ.
Final Encouragement
God wants you to live a clean and victorious life.
Draw close to Him through:
• Prayer
• Worship
• Thanksgiving
• Bible reading
• Meditation on Scripture
• Obedience to His Word
The more you fill your life with God’s presence, the less room there will be for darkness.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
I pray that You give us the grace to recognize what is evil and to keep away from every unclean thing. Purify our hearts, minds, and spirits. Help us to walk in holiness and obedience before You. Fill us with Your presence and make us sensitive to Your voice. Deliver us from every form of darkness and help us to walk in victory every day.
May Your glory rest upon us, and may we always live according to Your perfect will.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Have a blessed day. Remain blessed. Bye.
