Clean and Safe Cities Initiative 2

The enemy uses filth in all its ramifications whether spiritual, physical and mental to afflict people, families, communities and nations. How does he do it? He uses spiritual filth to separate the practitioners of spiritual filth from God. A person, family, community or nation practicing spiritual filth is automatically separated from God and does not have the covering or protection of God. Additionally, suspicion, hatred, rivalry and all sorts of fetish practices that may sometimes involve human sacrifices as well as wanton destruction of life characterize the lives of practitioners of spiritual filth. Life is cheap as people could kill for any flimsy excuse. The safety of people cannot be guaranteed. Anyone could be chosen for rituals or used for ritual murder.

Practitioners of mental filth engage in non productive processes that rob them of their divinely endowed mental capacities to prosper and flourish and be a blessing to humanity. So rather than be creatively and productively engaged in spiritually, mentally, physically and financially rewarding activities, they most often resort to criminal activities such as rape and other related crimes. They become a threat to safety as well as a burden to the state.

Clean and Safe Cities Initiative 1

Prevailing By The Spirit - Prayer Alert Vol. 2 No 1, 2016

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The will of God for His people is to have and live in clean and safe cities. It is also His desire that people take on the responsibility to be clean in their spirits, souls and bodies as well as their environments. That is why He instructs on clean environments in Deuteronomy Chapter 23 verses 12 to 14. Severally, in the book of Leviticus, God talks about washing to rid the body, clothes, homes and other implements of uncleanness and filth. This is to say that God abhors filth, in point of fact, any form of filth.

Filth varies from spiritual to mental and physical. Spiritual filth occurs in the spirit and is characterized by spiritual pollution such as idolatry and its extremities including the sustained practice of sorcery, divination and witchcraft that leads to demonic infestation and possession and of course control to do the bidding of demons. It takes the grace and wisdom as well as the power of God to be free of such filth.

Mental filth characterized by salacious mental processes that manifest in pornography,  voyeurism, masturbation, projecting ill will against other people, bitterness, resentment, envy and jealousy.
