So, I follow Pastor Steven Furtick from Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC pretty closely. My night last night was filled pain, and worry, and just feeling very, very lost. But God is right on time. After getting out of the shower from which I was hunched over in a ball crying, I got online and searched for a sermon that I hadn't listened to yet. Praise the Lord I found Give Me Faith. And boy did it ever! Here are some key points from the sermon that saved me last night.
- What are the temptations and music that plays in your life? The idols that you hold larger than God? What is your "music"? What is your "idol"?
- If the music plays loud enough it will drown God's voice and you WILL bow down to it.
- Realize that your idol will not and cannot satisfy you.
- You cannot turn to anything but Jesus without turning your back to Jesus.
- God demands and insists on exclusive worship.
We have got to stop listening to the outside world...our idols...our music. The devil knows exactly what music he needs to play in order to make you dance. You've got to lay down your idol...lay it all down at the feet of Jesus and know that nothing in this world can ever be as big or as important as Him and His love for us.
