All things happen for good to those who love God and are called according to purpose
Mark 7:14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. 16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
You can be poisoned, you can be killed, but that does not “defile” you. Murdering someone defiles you, being murdered doesn’t. We have martyrs, prophets who were put to death for the word of God, they weren’t defiled by becoming martyrs. Saint Stephen was not defiled because they stoned him. Jesus was not defiled because they crucified Him.
But the people who cried out “crucify Him” they were defiled. People who provide false witness, they are defiled. People who plan and plot adulteries, thefts and murders, they are defiled.
Now we do not freak out if our clothes get dirty, we put them in the hamper and wash them. We are all sinners and every one of us has had defiling thoughts. Not only so but we have acted on some of those defiling thoughts. So we need the blood of Jesus to wash us clean, we need confession, repentance and in some cases restitution depending on the sin.
There are also “generational curses”. By that it is as though your DNA has been stained with sin. King Saul did not obey God to kill all the Amalekites, as a result Mordecai, Saul’s descendant, had to mop up the mess that was left. Therefore we should give thanks for everything that takes place to us just as we should give thanks for everything we eat. Everything that happens is meant for good, an opportunity for you to cleanse yourself of all defilement of sin and flesh. In the Bible Joseph is married to Mary of whom Jesus is born. Joseph is descended from a cursed line of David, it was the royal line, but the curse was their line would never sit on the throne. But by taking Mary of whom Jesus was born this line gets restored to the kingdom, just not to the kingship.
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
What defiles you is what enters into your heart. Pride, arrogance, condescension, bigotry, hate, malice, greed, covetousness, these things defile us. So then the only way to get cleansed is to have these things washed from our heart and removed. King Saul was not obedient because he thought some of the things of the Amalekites were good. He wanted to destroy the bad things but keep the good things. Mordecai sees firsthand how those “good” things would turn into a monster that would devour and destroy them. The king cursed that Joseph was descended from treated the poor badly, as a result Joseph must be put into the situation where it is assumed he is the father of an illegitimate son, a person who is mocked and ridiculed, so that this poison could be purged from his heart.
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Now consider how many movies, how many TV shows, how many songs and MTV videos and magazines, how many stories and books, how many of these are filled with evil thoughts. How defiling is all of this and yet people just slurp it down. In the last few years it seems to many of us that the world has lost its mind, it is acting completely unreasonable. Why is that? Could it be they spend 8 hours a day in front of one screen or another? Could Tik Tok, Twitter, Facebook and all the other platforms be the reason that the world seems to have completely lost its mind?
24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
Have you noticed today that when people are speaking the truth on the internet they have to hide their words, they will speak in code, they will point to a picture of a word rather than say it, they will say it in a strange way like “See — Eye — Aye”. They are trying to be hid from this “all seeing eye” but they can’t, the algorithms and AI get better and better at finding them and censoring them.
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
Perhaps a reference to Tik Tok. One thing is sure, young girls have been specifically harmed by these unclean spirits on social media platforms.
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. 28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
What is the primary characteristic of the woke crowd, the ones we call “snowflakes”? It is how easily offended they are over every thing. Those words are offensive to the unclean spirit because they are cleansing your heart. Instead of rejecting the soap, embrace it.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
This is a generational curse. The mother embraced the soap cleansing her from offense and as a result her daughter was healed. The Jews were held in slavery by the Egyptians for exactly 400 years and when you look at slavery in the West of Africans it was for exactly 400 years until it was outlawed. The woke crowd is super offended thinking they were wronged without seeing that they themselves wronged others. If you love God and if you are called according to purpose all things that happen to you happen for good and are from God for your good.
