The Great Flood

There is a great flood upon the earth today—not one of water, but of spirit. It does not crash upon our homes or sweep through our streets, yet it infiltrates every space we occupy. It moves through our devices, our screens, and our entertainment. It floods our minds and hearts with images, words, and ideas that darken rather than enlighten. It is the flood of secularism, idolatry, witchcraft, and satanism entering our souls through the gateways of our eyes.

Guard your gaze, for whatever floods your eyes will shape your soul.

Jesus said in Matthew 6:22-23: “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”

This truth is more relevant now than ever. What we look upon shapes who we become. The endless scroll of videos, shows, and music may appear harmless, but behind much of what the world calls “entertainment” is a steady current pulling hearts away from God. Symbols of darkness are normalized. Sin is glamorized. Mockery of the sacred is turned into comedy. What was once considered shameful is now celebrated—and what was holy is dismissed as outdated or oppressive.

We must ask ourselves: what are we allowing into our spirits through our eyes? Each moment we spend watching, listening, or scrolling, we are feeding either the light or the darkness within us. The enemy knows this. He does not need to knock down the door when we leave the window open.

But the story does not end with the flood. There must come a reversal. Just as Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord, we too must seek refuge in God’s presence. The reverse flood must begin—a flood of holiness, truth, and purity washing back over our hearts and homes. A flood of light pouring into our eyes, renewing our minds, and restoring our discernment.

Scripture gives us the key to this renewal in Philippians 4:8: “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” This is the divine filter for our minds and our media. If what we are consuming does not reflect these qualities, it is not worthy of our attention.

We must reclaim our gaze. We must turn our eyes back to what is pure, noble, and worthy of praise. We must become careful gatekeepers of our souls, choosing not only what entertains us, but what edifies us.

Let the flood of darkness be met with a greater flood of light. Let our eyes once again become lamps filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit, so that the whole body—our lives, our families, our communities—may be full of light. The reversal begins with one simple act: looking toward Jesus.
