Spiritual Constipation

I was thinking today that physical constipation normally results from a bad diet resulting in failure to expel well.

Then I thought, that is a parallel to our spiritual life. If we are filling our lives with ungodly things, like worldly movies etc., we will be clogged with worldliness. If we are not filling up on Him, what will we have to overflow to others? When we fill ourselves with Him, it pushes out all the bad waste in our lives.

Jude 1 v 20

"But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit."

John 15 v 5

"I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing."

Ephesians 5 v 18

"And be not drunk with wine, in which there is excess, but be filled with the Spirit,"
