Pastor Steven Furtick shares one of his sermons titled “Shut The Devil Down.” In this three minute motivational message, Pastor Furtick shares with us how to “weather the storm”.
He started with telling us “Do you know how many things the Devil has kept you from doing in your life that God called you to do because of what might happen if you did?”
Pastor Steven stated for a lot of us, the Enemy doesn’t even have to fight us with real events or circumstances. Even the suggestion of a disaster is enough to send some of us into retreat. Even the thought, “What if they don’t like me?” is enough to keep you in the house or even the thought “What if they break my heart?” is enough to keep you from extending yourself in relationship or even the though. He pointed out that many of us are reluctant to get involved in church because you had a previous bad church experience.
Speaking further, he tell us that one thing after you have survived a storm, the bad weather, etc is that even after the storm is over, it still rages on on the inside of you. Pastor Steven pointed out that the saddest thing in the world is to see a Christian who has been set free by the love of Christ is not to know that neither height nor depth nor anything else is be able to separate us from the love of God.
Additionally, Pastor Steven tells us that some of us need to fire the Devil as our weatherman. We have been consulting the wrong source to find out what our future looks like. So now we stay indoors and we stay in fear and we stay in paranoia, and we never plant and we never reap. Solomon said it’s because we watch the wind.
Do you ever feel like stuff just backfires on you when you’re trying to be nice to somebody? Have you ever just been smacked by your own seed? Some of you have had the wind against you your whole life. You didn’t have the right shoes. Your parents didn’t make a lot of money. You had to learn to fit in. You had to learn how to be tough. You had to learn how to be hard,
and you learned how to survive a storm. The only problem with that is sometimes the wind isn’t even against you, but you still feel like it is because your mind is collecting evidence in support of a verdict that is no longer accurate.
This is a message that will inspire you.
