🔔🔥 TOUCH NOT, TASTE NOT, HANDLE NOT 🔥🔔
Do Not Play With the Chain Christ Died to Break
📖 "Touch not; taste not; handle not." — Colossians 2:21
Paul was warning against human rules that claim to produce holiness.
Rules may restrain the hand.
Only Jesus Christ can transform the heart. ❤️
Yet when something poisons the body, awakens lust, corrupts character, invites darkness, or steals the heart from Christ, Scripture gives us no permission to experiment with it.
❌ Do not sample it.
❌ Do not excuse it.
❌ Do not protect access to it.
🔵 ① TASTE NOT WHAT AWAKENS SLAVERY
Alcohol, to***co, narcotics, intoxicants, and every enslaving appetite weaken judgment before they conquer the will.
Temptation never reveals the chain.
It whispers:
"Only once."
"You can control it."
"No one will know."
📖 "Every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." — James 1:14
The fish sees the bait...
—not the hook.
What you taste today may master you tomorrow.
✍️ "True temperance teaches us to dispense entirely with everything hurtful, and to use judiciously that which is healthful."
— The Ministry of Healing, p. 127
🟢 ② TOUCH NOT WHAT INFLAMES LUST
Po*******hy, sensual entertainment, immoral messages, and secret relationships do not simply entertain the mind.
They educate sinful desire.
Joseph did not stay to negotiate with temptation.
📖 Genesis 39:12
📖 2 Timothy 2:22
Some victories are won...
not by resisting longer—
but by leaving sooner.
✅ Delete it.
✅ Block it.
✅ Flee from it.
Do not touch the fire and then pray not to be burned.
🟠 ③ HANDLE NOT WHAT INVITES DARKNESS
Spiritism, charms, horoscopes, witchcraft, occult practices, demonic games, and entertainment that glorifies evil are not harmless curiosities.
📖 "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." — Ephesians 5:11
Do not invite darkness into your home and then ask Heaven to remove its influence.
Christ never called us to explore evil.
He calls us to expose it and forsake it.
🔴 ④ TOUCH NOT WHAT DESTROYS CHARACTER
🗣️ Gossip
💔 Slander
🎭 Deceit
💰 Dishonest gain
📱 Corrupt messages
🤫 Secret attacks
These often wound more deeply than physical violence.
📖 Ephesians 4:25
📖 Titus 3:2
If Christ would not speak it—
do not spread it.
🟣 ⑤ TASTE NOT THE POISON OF BITTERNESS
Not every poison enters through the mouth.
Some enter through:
😠 Anger
😒 Jealousy
😤 Pride
💢 Revenge
🚫 Unforgiveness
📖 Hebrews 12:15
A person may reject alcohol—
yet drink resentment every day.
The cleanest diet cannot sanctify a bitter heart.
Only Christ can cleanse both appetite and attitude.
🟡 ⑥ HANDLE NOT WHAT STEALS YOUR SOUL
Gambling, endless gaming, sensual music, mindless scrolling, and constant entertainment may not always appear openly sinful.
But they can quietly crowd Jesus out.
📖 Ephesians 5:16
📖 Colossians 3:2
Whatever repeatedly weakens:
🙏 Prayer
📖 Bible study
❤️ Love for Christ
✨ Purity
🤝 Faithful service..is no longer merely in your hands.
It is beginning to handle you.
🟤 ⑦ DO NOT PRAY FOR FREEDOM WHILE PROTECTING ACCESS
If something continually leads you into sin:
📱 Delete the contact.
🚫 Block the website.
🗑️ Throw it away.
🚪 Leave the place.
❌ End the secret conversation.
🤝 Seek godly help.
📖 "Make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." — Romans 13:14
Do not keep the key to the prison while asking Jesus to set you free.
Fill your life with:
📖 Scripture
🙏 Prayer
🤝 Godly fellowship
🛠️ Useful labor
❤️ Service for others
Do not merely empty the house.
Let Christ occupy the throne.
🔥 ⑧ GRACE BREAKS CHAINS
📖 Titus 2:11–12
Grace is not permission to manage sin.
Grace forgives the fallen—
and teaches the forgiven to say NO to ungodliness.
Christ did not die merely to pardon your chains.
He died to break them.
💎 THE UNFORGETTABLE TEST
🔵 TOUCH NOT
What inflames lust.
What corrupts character.
What spreads evil.
What invites darkness.
🟡 TASTE NOT
What intoxicates.
What enslaves appetite.
What poisons the heart.
🟣 HANDLE NOT
What steals your time.
What weakens your conscience.
What wounds others.
What cools your love for Jesus.
Never forget:
❌ Abstinence is not the Saviour.
✝️ Jesus is.
Rules may restrain behavior.
Only Christ can cleanse desire, renew the mind, and set the soul free.
📖 "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." — John 8:36
❤️ SEARCH YOUR HEART
Ask yourself:
❓ What am I touching that is dulling my conviction?
❓ What am I tasting that is becoming my master?
❓ What am I secretly handling while asking God for victory?
Do not wait until:
➡️ Curiosity becomes appetite.
➡️ Appetite becomes habit.
➡️ Habit becomes bo***ge.
📖 "Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts." — Hebrews 3:15
Confess it.
Forsake it.
Remove it.
Seek help.
Run to Christ.
When temptation whispers, "Only once," answer boldly:
✝️ "I BELONG TO JESUS. I WILL NOT RETURN TO THE CHAIN HE DIED TO BREAK."
📖 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." — Philippians 4:13
