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.
