- Clutter happens when you neglect to pay attention to what's coming in and going out of your house!

- What are you hoarding?

- What are you keeping in your house?

- What has died/dying in your house but you are used to the smell?

- Start Today

- Get rid of it.

James 1:21 - So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. (NLT)

Romans 12:2 - Don't become so well - adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking.  Instead, fix your attention on God.  You'll be changed from the inside out.  Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it.  Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity.  God brings the best out of you, develops well - formed maturity in you. (MSG)

- Decide what you're going to keep.

Matthew 6:19-21 - "Don't hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths and corroded by rust or - worse-! - stolen by burglars.  Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it's safe from moth and rust and burglars.  It's obvious, isn't it?  The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being." (MSG)

John 10:10 - A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy.

... how can anyone enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man?

Then he can plunder his house.

27 - When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town.  For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs.

39 - "Return home and tell how much God has done for you."  So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

8 - "Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one.  Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?

9 - And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.'

10 - In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents"

19-21 "This is the crisis we're in: God-light streamed into the world, but men and women everywhere ran for the darkness.  They went for the darkness because they were not really interested in pleasing God.  Everyone who makes a practice of doing evil, addicted to denial and illusion, hates God-light and won't come near it, fearing a painful exposure.  But anyone working and living in truth and reality welcomes God-light so the work can be seen for the God-work it is. "

1 - One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer - at three in the afternoon.

2 - Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.

3 - When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

4 - Peter looked straight at him, as did John.  Then Peter said, "Look at us!"

5 - So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

6 - Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you.  In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."

7 - Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong.

8 - He jumped to his feet and began to walk.

I was glad when they said unto me, let us go in to the house of the Lord.
