“Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” (Proverbs 11:14)

You need to keep your relationship strong with those to whom you are spiritually accountable.

There are times we all need someone to speak into our lives who will watch out for our souls.

It is essential that you make a covenant with your eyes, determining that you will not give permission for any wicked thing to be displayed in your sight.

If your eyes are focused on what is unhealthy or foul, those vile things that gained entrance through what you allowed your eyes to see will enter into your mind and affect you negatively.

Very often, evil finds access into your mind and imagination through your eyes.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

It is vital you learn to quickly confess sin and receive the cleansing blood of Jesus.

Quickly confessing sin and submitting it to the cleansing power of Jesus’ blood will keep you spiritually free and help your soul stay free.

“For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” (Heb 4:12)

If you don’t know where to start reading the Bible, find a Bible reading plan to help keep you on track as a type of personal accountability.

I urge you to make God’s Word the highest priority in your life.

By taking the time to read the Bible and allowing its words to enter into your heart and mind, you give God the ability to do a supernatural work in your heart and to keep your soul free from the enemy’s entrapments. -- Rick Renner

You must determine the Word of God will be a guiding light that leads you down every path and in every decision you make in life.

“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.” (Joshua 1:7)

Make a commitment to read your Bible everyday as part of a plan to build a wall of protection around your life.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalm 119:105)

Spending time each day in prayer opens your heart to receive from God, and it sets the tone for your day as you expect God’s guiding presence and His goodness to manifest in your life.

“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.” (Eph 6:18)

Becoming intentional about beginning each day with prayer confirms that you are serious about your commitment to God.
