What Jesus Said - The Sermon on the Mount
Spiritual perspective affects everything. If you are habitually or secretly involved with evil thoughts and desires (and God’s Word says everyone is to some extent), perspective follows suit. Anyone who has come out of this darkness will confirm it is nowhere you ever want to be.

What Jesus Said - The Sermon on the Mount
What you give attention and focus to determines how spiritually healthy you are. A pure focus on God and his will for you produces a light and power to which nothing can compare. Losing this focus and flirting with evil thoughts and desires puts you on the road to deep spiritual darkness.
Matthew 6:22 (TLB) “If your eye is pure, there will be sunshine in your soul. 23 But if your eye is clouded with evil thoughts and desires, you are in deep spiritual darkness. And oh, how deep that darkness can be!

Your treasure (what you put your faith in) is what you receive now and forever. This earth belongs to Satan. He creates or influences all criminality and human suffering. Jesus said this requires you to place your faith in God’s promises more than faith in anything or anyone else.

What Jesus Said - The Sermon on the Mount
Fasting has been practiced from time immemorial because, for a short time, you literally allow God to be your daily bread. Inviting God’s presence in this quiet, discrete manner can dramatically change your sense of who you are and your place in God’s order.
Matthew 6:16-18 (TLB) “And now about fasting. When you fast, declining your food for a spiritual purpose, don’t do it publicly, as the hypocrites do, who try to look wan and disheveled so people will feel sorry for them. Truly, that is the only reward they will ever get. 17 But when you fast, put on festive clothing, 18 so that no one will suspect you are hungry, except your Father who knows every secret. And he will reward you.
