Sometimes we expose our eyes to things that are extremely dark. These days we can see more than we should just watching advertisements. If the mussels in our eyes aren’t under the Holy Spirit’s control, we are going to qualify as being the person mentioned in this Scripture.

Mat 5:28 (NIV) But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Some would teach us that we can look as long as we don’t lust.

Looking at a beautiful woman and then scanning down her shoulders, passing her belly button, and examining her all the way down to her feet is motivated by lust. We will deal with this in greater detail when we get to this verse. However, we need to see that our eyes can stop the flow of God’s mighty power in and through our lives easily. Whether it be in a movie, magazine, or real life; we have lots of opportunities to shipwreck our ministries.

Let us ask the Holy Spirit to take control of our eyes and make them instruments of the pure light of God. The majority of ministries that fall apart do so because the person didn’t give their eyes over to God.
