Eyes, Ears, Mouth, Feet, and Heart

I love sharing God's Word. Its full of life, encouragement, inspirations, wisdom, and joy. It's our guide or reference manual to how live a Godly life that is in the right standing with God. There's a scripture on almost everything you need to confirm. God's words says,"your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit [who is] in you, whom you have from God..," (1 Corinthians 6:19).

Throughout the bible, you can find little nuggets or spiritual health tips that will instruct on how to do this even down to controlling certain body parts/organs that can affect your spiritual growth and your relationship with God. Check out Proverb 4:20-27.

My son, give attention to my words; Incline your EAR to my sayings.

Do not let them depart from your EYES; Keep them in the midst of your heart;

For they [are] life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.

Keep your HEART with all diligence, For out of it [spring] the issues of life.

Put away from you a deceitful MOUTH, And put perverse lips far from you.

Let your EYES look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you.

Ponder the path of your FEET, And let all your ways be established.

Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.

Ear - You must be conscious of what you subject your listening ear(s) to...from the kind of music you listen to all the way down to listening to certain people's conversations and so on. "Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you...," (Isaiah 55:3). "If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes,..."(Exodus 15:26)


Feet - "The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way," (Psalm 37:23). Allow God to lead you in the path He would have you to walk. In order to walk on the pathway to your purpose and destiny, you have let God order your footsteps and direct your path. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths," (Proverb 3:5-6). And when you walk in obedience, God will not allow your foot to be moved. "He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber,..." (Psalm 121:3).

Eyes - We must keep our eyes on Jesus and focus on His Ways, His Word, and keep them front and center. In addition, we must be mindful of what we watch as far as movies and TV shows. It is God whom we look up to in His Presence for strength, guidance, and even clarity. But how can we see, if we subject our eyes to see and focus on things that are contradictory to God's Word. God wants us look up to Him just like the author of Psalm 121 did. "I will lift up my eyes to the hills-- From whence comes my help? My help [comes] from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth," (Psalm 121:1-2). "Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens," (Psalm 123:1).

Mouth - The mouth is known to get a lot of people in trouble in more ways than one, which is why we should be mindful of what we say to and around people (of all ages). We have a choice of rather or not to let our words be words of encouragement, joy, positive affirmations instead of deceit, discordness, or insult. Death and life are in the power of tongue (Proverb 18:21). And where does the tongue live? That's right...inside the mouth. To be effective in the Kingdom of God, we must use the power of our tongues to speak life so that we can be soul winners and soul losers. Not only that, we must be mindful of how we use our mouths in conversations. Our mouths are not use for gossiping, cussing, or degrading others. It is for preaching the gospel (the Good News) to all nations. "Let your conversation be gracious and effective so that you will have the right answer for everyone," (Colossians 4:6).

Heart - The heart is not only a vital organ in our physical growth but for our spiritual growth and relationship with God. We listen to the Holy Spirit with our hearts. With that in mind, we have to be good stewards over it. "Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it [spring] the issues of life." Spending time with God by praying, reading His Word, praising His Name, and Worshipping Him are ways to sustain your heart from spiritual corruption. Because if satan can grab a hold of our heart, he can try to distort our walk with Christ.

Here's a thought: Grab a hold of your anointing oil(if you have any) and anoint your ears, your eyes, your feet, your mouth, and chest (your heart).


In reading this, I pray that we use what God has given us to edify our spirits as well as the body of Christ. Also, that we will not be ignorant to satan devices and not give him access to our spirits through our mouth, ears, eyes, and etc. That we use them to bring glory to God's Kingdom. We live and move and have our being through You. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
