FJWL_01:380
         If you desire to be strengthened, if you desire to follow closely, if you desire to be endowed with the wisdom that is from above, then sanctify yourselves through My Word, that you may be clean. Do not allow the little foxes to spoil My vine, but come out from among them and be separate.
         For just as junk food will spoil the body and will slowly take its toll as you become weakened and fattened and bogged down with extra baggage and nonessential fats, so will a steady diet of the junk food of this music bog down your spirit until your spiritual muscles become weakened and flabby and out of shape. Eventually they will lose their tone and elasticity as you become weaker and weaker.
         Therefore, fall not for the subtle ways of Satan that would have you think you are not affected by such sounds, for it is a slow fading away, a slow, steady deafening of the ear, a slow, steady hardening and numbness to My Spirit and My truth--quicker for some than others, but taking its toll.
         Therefore, take a stand! Sanctify yourselves through the Word that I have spoken on this subject, and speak to yourselves in song--My songs, My music, My Heavenly tunes. Put off the old man and walk in newness of life.
