Enter-tain-ment

ENTER: to go inside, go within

TAIN: to possess or hold,

MENT: mental; the state or condition caused by an action; a concrete result

In its deepest and purest definition, "entertainment" means the concrete result of allowing something to enter into your mind and take possession of you.

Let that meaning really soak in for a moment.

What are you allowing to ENTER and POSSESS you? The answer is simple: what are you listening to on the radio or on your playlist? What type of books or magazines are you reading on the regular? What type of movies and tv shows are you watching on television?

The answer to that reveals what you've allowed to occupy space in your life and mind.

If the answers promote sin, lust, fornication, adultery, robbing, stealing, murder, occultism, psychics or mediums: that's not of God. That's from the devil. He gets the glory.

And you've also allowed yourself and your mind to be inseminated with thoughts from devils. How exactly does that work for a child of God?

When the Bible warns us to 'neither give place to the devil' [Eph 4:16] it was talking about opening the door that allows Satan to enter our lives and pull us further away from God. Here's a simple rule of thumb to follow:

If it doesn't pull you closer to Jesus Christ, fails to honor God or His Word, goes against what you know is sound biblical morality: YOU SHOULDN'T BE WATCHING, READING OR LISTENING TO IT!

Continuing to do so just means you've allowed yourself to become captured by sin; which now makes you the devil's prisoner.

If you're a believer in Jesus Christ and you're having a struggle with sin: this is most likely the reason why. You've been entertaining sin. And that entertainment has now become chains in your soul.

But do not fret: Jesus Christ has the bolt-cutters to break those sinful chains and set you free!

If you'll really, genuinely turn your whole life over to Him, not only will He set you free from whatever sin you're addicted to: He will also give you an inner power greater than the power of that sin. So you can withstand it.

"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." *1 Cor. 10:13

That scripture is a promise to you direct from God. You can overcome temptation. You can win the personal war against sin. All you need to do is entrust the entirety of your life to the One who gave His life for you.

And make a firm decision to stop entertaining sin. I pray you make that decision today.
