After praying this morning the Lord gave me a couple different messages and I wanted to
share one of them with you right now. I want to give you the definition that I found on
Google for “crystal ball”. It says a sphere, especially of quartz crystal traditionally
used by fortune tellers, a means or method of predicting future events. Another definition
says that, a quartz crystal or glass in which images especially those of which who portend
to tell the future are supposedly visible. So, what the Lord was speaking to me this
morning and He put onto my heart that the TV is a modern day crystal ball. That is will
tell you the future. And the Lord reminded me of how when Jesus in Matthew 5 verse 28
Jesus said, but I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed
adultery with her in his heart. You may ask me, what does this have to do with the television?
Well, I don't know about you, but when I used to watch the television... My wife and I,
we destroyed all of our televisions over a year ago, about a year and half ago... (I
will put the video down below if you guys want to watch that.) But, as we all know the
television is full of garbage. When you're watching a show with women or men that are
half dressed on television, obviously as Jesus just said, if you *** after them you've already
committed adultery with them in your heart. But, one other thing that the Lord has shown
me is that if you're watching say a horror show; one where people or getting killed,
maybe shot or maybe their head is getting cut off or something horrible like that, and
you're sitting there being entertained by that and it's stimulating you... Then you
have already committed that in your heart; in your heart you are a murderer. Or if you
are sitting there watching a drama show that has someone on there, maybe robbing banks,
stealing, lying, cheating or all of these different things... And you're sitting there
being entertained by it, then you have already done those things in your heart... It's been
planted into your heart. If those things are entertaining to you, then you are no better
than doing them yourself. And with what Jesus said there in Matthew 5:28, if you've looked
at a woman with *** you've done committed it in your heart... So, if you're looking
at these things on TV; whether it's fornication, lying, cheating, stealing, gambling, idolatry
and whatever else that it is... If you're sitting there being entertained by all of
these things that are contrary to the pureness to the holiness to the righteousness of Jesus;
things that grieve the Spirit of the Living God... Then all of those things that you're
looking at; you've already done them in your heart. And that is why the Lord said that
the television is the modern day subliminal crystal ball. Because all of those things
that you're watching on TV; they are telling you the future, predicting your future...
Because if you're looking at them, being entertained by them, *** after them and having sinful
thoughts, they are already being planted into your heart. Therefore, your future is already
being told by what you're looking at with your eyes. If your eyes are bad your whole
body is going to be bad. And if that light in your is darkness, then how great is that
darkness. You may say well crystal balls are used by fortune tellers and those into witchcraft
and things like that... Well, my friend, all sin is rebellion against God and rebellion
is as witchcraft. Being entertained by sin is no different from doing that sin your own
self. How is that television bringing you closer to Jesus? How is that television bringing
glory to Jesus in your life? These are questions that you must honestly ask yourself. Take
it to Jesus. May Jesus bless you.
