Different Causes of Spiritual Baggage
Spiritual clutter builds up in many ways. People can be influenced by wrong teachings from others. There are unrealistic Christian teachings that mislead people. It leads to spiritual untidiness. Some Christian leaders influence people to use divination or prophetic type sayings, to help fix their problems and this draws people to witchcraft like practices. This causes them to lust after supernatural signs. Some signs and wonders come from the devil. For example, occultism mixed into Christianity is common in this day and age. Trying the spirits is important, otherwise once the person accepts this mixture, it causes confusion. Evil spirits gain more control when confusion happens. Another example of spiritual clutter is the need for instant gratification. Physical or emotional thoughts in our mind causes ourselves to feel pleasure, yet that pleasure is often short lived. This leads to a person wanting more. Spiritual clutter builds up when a person's own selfish needs become their center. God and the Holy Spirit, shows you just how bad your spiritual clutter has been. Junkiness can cause people to experience mistakes and turmoil. God allows us to go through hardships so that we see the junk and learn from what we did wrong.
Removing Spiritual Clutter
Spiritual clutter often comes from desires to want what is unnecessary. The individual gets to the point where they think there is nothing wrong, until, one day, their baggage is large. Spiritual clutter gets in the way of productivity. When God is leading you down the path to true salvation in Jesus Christ of Nazareth, he will expose spiritual untidiness.
The Holy Spirit will draw those predestined by God to the cross of Jesus, repentance of sins, and have faith to believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. It is impossible to get true salvation by allowing humans to be the one to choose salvation. Accepting Jesus to come into their hearts, or saying a sinner's prayer ushers in a false conversion. Furthermore, true salvation is a gift, with the timing unexpected. After the gospel has been heard in full, the Holy Spirit draws one to salvation.
Spiritual clutter should be rejected! Start removing spiritual baggage and clutter. The path to freedom from spiritual baggage involves rejecting it.
