In this powerful teaching from The Clarion Call, host Nici Mathis unpacks the believer’s responsibility to guard their heart and spirit like a bouncer at the door. Every thought, emotion, and relationship that knocks for entry must be checked against the Word of God. If it doesn’t carry the credentials of truth and peace, it doesn’t get in.Drawing from Francis Frangipane’s book The Three Battlegrounds (https://www.amazon.com/Three-Battlegrounds-Francis-Frangipane/dp/1886296805), Nici explains how the enemy first gains a foothold through unchecked thoughts or offenses. Left unchallenged, these footholds become strongholds and eventually bondage. Using practical examples and biblical insights, she emphasizes the importance of discernment, guarding associations, and destroying strongholds before they take root.Listeners will be challenged to step into their God-given role as gatekeepers—actively resisting the enemy, guarding unity in the church, and tearing down lies with the truth of God’s Word.✨ You are the bouncer at the door of your spirit. Guard it well.Scripture ReferencesProverbs 4:232 Corinthians 10:3–5Philippians 4:6–81 Corinthians 15:33James 4:7Matthew 5 (Sermon on the Mount – referenced)Galatians 5 (Fruit of the Spirit – referenced)Hebrews 2 (bondage through fear of death – referenced)Galatians 2 (freedom in Christ – referenced)Romans 8 (life in the Spirit – referenced) Hosted on Acast.
