Media Jesus: Pitfalls- Ourselves Questions

 Do you justify what you watch on your TV?

Do you watch things that are unholy intentionally or unintentionally?

Is what you watch holy or unholy or is it neutral? an example of neutral is the weather.

Do you need to get out of the way, so Jesus can do a work in what you watch on your TV?

Do you need to create boundaries surrounding your TV, so you do not stumble, or it become a stumbling block?

Are you lying to yourself about what you do on your TV?

These are the questions that I asked yesterday for you to think about and then answer them. So, what did you find out after answer the questions for yourself? Do you justify, lie to yourself, do you stumble, watch unholy things unintentionally or intentionally on your TV. These questions were not meant make you feel bad or to scold you but to make you understand what you do on your TV. But He led His own people out like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock; Psalms 78:52. Jesus does not do things to scold you are to make you feel bad but to guide you and to help you realize that what you are doing is not of Him. Jesus does not correct you but help you to realize that what you are doing is holy or unholy. Jesus is not a God of correction but of helping and guiding you to His Path and all His ways. Make me know Your waysLord; Teach me Your paths. Psalms 25:4. 

With that being said, did these questions help you to understand what you do on your TV? If I took these questions 5 or 6 years my answer would look very very different that they do today. My answers are not shared here so all can see but they are answered and not shown for me to know and help me, just like your answer are not here for display but are there to help you. I needed to get out of the way so Jesus could do His work in what I watch on my TV. Now I do not justify, lie and try not to create stumbling blocks as it pertains to TV (Anything can be a stumbling block). I tell you all this so that you know that I do it too and not just not have you do it. We are in this together. I need the things I talked about here just as much as you do. This is all for you to be led to glorify Jesus. But I am here to tell you I need to be led just as much as you do. I am not some holy person who is perfect and knows all but I am going through the same things you do in your walk with Jesus.

So, with the answer you had from the questions above, do you need to make adjustments in what you watch, or do you need to get out of the way for Jesus to work in what you watch on your TV. Whatever it is pray for it and create ways and boundaries surrounding your TV today.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Jesus you are the Great I Am

I praise You and thank You for being that person to me

Jesus, I pray today for me to get out of the way, so You can work on me in what I watch on my TV

That You would protect and guide me on my TV

Thank You and praise You again for this and for everything you do for me

In Jesus Name 

Amen
