🚨 DISTRACTIONS ARE IDOLS
The biggest fight isn't what you've gone through or what you're going through.
The biggest fight is getting to the Throne Room.
The biggest fight is putting down every distraction that is keeping you from the King.
If the devil can keep you from seeking & finding, he has already won.
SEEK & PUSH through until you break through into the other side.
The enemy will throw distractions your way to keep you from the King.
Any distraction that keeps you away from Jesus can become an idol.
We need to TEAR DOWN idols.
Anything consuming your time MORE than God is an idol.
Distractions:
ALL sin (pornography, masterbation, drugs, alcohol, fornication, etc.) 💥
Continuously scrolling on social media 💥
Watching reels for hours 💥

Trying to be perfect 💥
Excessive shopping & online shopping 💥
Excessive exercise & meal prepping 💥
If you haven't been seeking a relationship with Jesus Christ but complain He isn't showing up, it's usually YOU, not Him.
Seeking:
Reading the Word daily ✅
Praying without ceasing ✅
Worshipping the King, for He is worthy ✅
For others, seeking can also be learning on a deeper level (school, books, podcasts, etc.). And for many, intercession is included in this. There are many creative ways to seek the King: ask Him.
Whatever the Lord has called you to SEEK, do it now while you have a chance. Don't let the relationship between you and Him suffer because you were distracted by the things of this world.
If you can put down every distraction, the problems you're going through will be resolved! But we must seek His heart and not just His hand. Seek a relationship with Him. Love Him. Find out His character and build something real with Him. As the Word says, if we seek Him FIRST, everything else will be taken care of. He KNOWS your every need.
Now remove the distractions and PUSH.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't give up.
It's not over.
It's just the beginning.
You're gonna make it 🫶🏻
✝️ Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7
✝️ Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
Isaiah 55:6-7
✝️ But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33
✝️ Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
Colossians 3:5
✝️ You shall have no other gods before me.
Exodus 20:3
✝️ But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:6
