In the field of nutritional health, one of the common practices that people employ is called a sugar detox. Detoxing sugar out of your body, removes many of the physical manifestations that come from the consumption of sugar. I am no health expert, but I do know a lot of people that specialize in the area of healthy living, healthy eating, and the benefits that come from it. When people go on a sugar detox, they drink certain what I call concoctions in order to flush the sugar out of their system. The Bible says so goes the natural, so goes the spiritual (1 Cor. 15:46).

We can physically remove ourself from a situation that is toxic to us, emotionally, physically or spiritually. The physical removal is many times a very necessary step, because it is a declaration of moving away from the toxicity of an environment, which is proven to not be healthy for the person that has moved away. However, what most people are not aware of is how much they have been seeded with the toxicity of the words of the situation in which they were immersed. Not only were they seeded many times the children were seeded as well. We as adults understand this more clearly, because we have both been the child and the parent in many occasions.

Proverbs 22:5 says “Twisted and perverse lives are surrounded by demonic influence. If you value your soul, stay far away from them.” As I read this, I realized how much easier it is to physically remove yourself, but if you do not detox, the twisted and perverse things that were seeded in you, you will still be under their influence. Just as people use a liquid drink to detox sugar, we are to use the word of God to detox the words of others that were twisted and perverse and have done great damage to our soul.

My prayer for you as we head in to Christmas week is that you would detox with the Word of God, the twisted and perverse things that you have been seeded with. Your healthy soul, your renewed mind, your ability to tap in to the grace of God will reveal to your friends and family…What a mighty God, we serve. Detox quickly it’ll make you feel better.
