  24. How many know? If you know we have a father

  25. who loves us so much. On Friday he came to

  47. my sister, don't play table tennis with God today. Do

  48. you know table tennis some of you? When the word

  49. of God is coming, God says, take the wed. Then

  50. you take God, take back your word. You know, when

  51. the pastor breaches the word counts, then you're also holdly.

  52. You give God a back hand path. Halleliah, Amen. So

  53. don't play table tennis with God today with this word.

  54. When the word comes, received the way Hallelijah Amen. How

  55. been well informed and I've listened to some of the

  56. messages so far, by the direction of our Father, the

  57. process that they're teaching us, how we can escape the

  58. works of the flesh, and how we'll be able to

  59. develop and build godly character virtues that are fruit or

  60. the spirit. Take me to Galatians chapter five, nineteen and twenty.

  61. So this morning I'll be teaching you something and either

  62. worship or idolatry. So Galatians five nineteen twenty. Quickly, as

  63. we read, now the works of the flesh are manifest,

  64. which are these adultry, fornication and cleanness. That's sifuousness, idolatry,

  65. watch craft, hatred, variance, emulations, growth, strife, seditions, heresses. Okay, good.

  66. So I believe our process have already taken us to

  67. through some of the things we read, and we are

  68. on idolatry now adultry, okay. So what is idolatry or

  69. idol worship? And I know that already some of you

  70. have certain beliefs and perceptions already or an understanding of

  71. what an eye door is, Okay, what an idol is?

  72. Some of you in your hometowns as I'm talking to

  73. you right now twenty first entry Ghana, you can see

  74. certain statues, artifacts, physical objects that people still go and

  75. bow down to empoorer libation and worship visibly there. You

  76. can still see them now, okay. And so some of

  77. you those are the only things you understand or your

  78. regard as idols or idolatry. But by the time I

  79. bring the message to an end, you would appreciate that

  80. idol worship is not only bowing down to statues or

  81. graving images. Hello, And as a matter of fact, some

  82. of you have been worshiping outdoors without you even knowing.

  83. And there are a lot of idols with you around you.

  84. Some of you ben carry ideas around that you have

  85. no idea of, you know, because in your mind, I'm

  86. not carrying any image of some deity, and so I'm

  87. not an idol worshiper. But go to her past, God,

  88. to her past. Let's go to Exodus chapter twenty. Let's

  89. start from number two. So we need to understand that

  90. when it comes to idolatry or I don't worship, it's

  91. something that God really a pass God excuse. God doesn't lie.

  92. God hates idolatry, I don't worship. And so when God

  93. was given us the commandments, the time commandments, they are

  94. things that God specifically mentioned that he doesn't like and

  95. he doesn't want his children to be associated with. So

  96. this is the first when he said, I am the

  97. Lord that God which have brought thee out of the

  98. land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage verse three,

  99. Verse three dows, I have no other gods before me.

  100. Continue thus, are not make onto d any graving image

  101. or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above,

  102. or that is in the earth beneath, or that is

  103. in the water under the earth. No, so God is

  104. so specific, is so instructive. God says, I am the

  105. Lord and God. I don't want you to have any

  106. other god apart from me. I am the only God.

  107. I'm the Alpha and the Omega. I'm the beginning and

  108. the end. As a matter of fact, there was no

  109. beginning until I began the beginning. And so have no

  110. other gods apart from me, have no other gods apart

  111. from me. And then God was so also instructive and specific.

  112. You shall not make of any graving image, don't create,

  113. don't mold, don't make anything that looks like me, that

  114. looks like a god to worship it and to buy

  115. down to it. And the effects or the repercussions that

  116. comes with it are curses. And God says that anybody

  117. that washed an idol, even from the tie to the

  118. fourth generation of those people are going to be cast.

  119. And so you need to understand that idolatry comes with

  120. a lot of consequences. I saw you might be sitting

  121. here and thinking, I'm not an idol, worshiper. I'm not

  122. an idolator, but by the time we bring the message

  123. to an arch, I was saying, you realize that all

  124. this while you've been bringing casses upon yourself, and not

  125. only yourself, but even generations after you yet on bomb

  126. because the gass of idology is so serious that God

  127. says that I will catch these people of that they

  128. will not even have the opportunity to come into my tabernacle.

  129. By the good thing is that God says, I show

  130. love and compassion to thousands of generations of them. Save me.

  131. Ask somebody, which of these two do you like? Or

  132. asks Abasad, Which of these dwo do you like? Oh?

  133. Asks said, which of these two to serve? I dolls?

  134. And I try to get casts of God? Or to

  135. serve God and I chart his blessings. Hallelujah. I don't

  136. know about you, but I'll be like Joshua. I'll be

  137. like josh He said, choose from this day you wirself

  138. by aye for me, as for me, Ask for me

  139. at my house, Add for me at my house, Add

  140. for me at my house. He will serve the law. Amen.

  141. Then josh twenty four to fifteen, Sai ask for me

  142. at my house. I pray that some of you will

  143. be like you amen, or you'll be like that just amen,

  144. or you'll be like the just amen. Ouside you'll be

  145. like the just amen. It's and if it seems evil

  146. unto you to serve the law, choose this day whom yourself.

  147. That's somebody. To serve God is a choice. Or tell

  148. another person that to serve God is a choice. It's

  149. a choice you have to make. But JA said, ask

  150. for me. Choose you this day whom you self, whether

  151. the gods which your father said that we're on the

  152. other side of the flat, or the gods of the

  153. ammords in whom land you do were. But ask for

  154. me in my house, we will serve the Lord, I

  155. prayed out somebody hearing my voice this morning, we take

  156. that decision, or we take that decision that will make

  157. that choice that from today you are looking at yourself

  158. like a very young girl, young boy, But you make

  159. a decision. That's my children Yet on Brown, they will

  160. serve God. Not chid of mine will serve an idol.

  161. Not chid of mine will miss the way. It's a

  162. decision you mistake from today. And in that same church

  163. we don't only think about ourselves. We think about the nations.

  164. Yet you're teaching you how to be leaders, not only

  165. at the marketplace, but in the home, as a leader

  166. in the family. That my children will save my God,

  167. my first willself my God. It's a decision you need

  168. to make. Hallelujah. Amen. You cannot be a Christian, a

  169. child of God and ask you I've come to church,

  170. your children, the house, or somewhere else. No no, no, no,

  171. no no no, that's somebody. No no, no, no, no

  172. no no no no, no no no no. Jush said

  173. I at my house, not only me, Because I say,

  174. God does not call you just for you, I sire

  175. fifty one verys too. The Lord said, look onto your

  176. father Abraham. I called him alone, said God cross us alone.

  177. But he doesn't call us for ourselves alone. He said,

  178. look onto Abraham, your father, and onto Sarah that bear

  179. you for I called him alone, say alone, sy alone.

  180. So when God is calling you, so those of you

  181. who always want to go to your friends and want

  182. to find out what I used to accept and respond

  183. to the call of God. Or No, God doesn't call

  184. two people at the same time. God doesn't call you

  185. and your friend. At the same time, God costs you alone.

  186. So it is your decision to respond to God's calling alone.

  187. As an individual, you cannot afford to disobel God because

  188. of your friends. God costs you alone. He costs you alone,

  189. just that He doesn't call you alone for yourself. He

  190. costs you for a generation. Genesis are the twelve. Even

  191. though I saiahs standing as that God called Abraham alone,

  192. God didn't call Abraham for himself. Genesis are the twelve.

  193. He said, And the Lord said, onto Abraham. Now, the Lord,

  194. I said, on to Abrahm, get thee out of that

  195. country and from thy kingdom, and from my father's house

  196. onto a land that I will show you. Continue and

  197. I'll make of d a great nation. So the blessing

  198. God has called alone, God is going to make him

  199. a blessing onto generations. Are you here with me me?

  200. So I se I sit there down this morning listening

  201. to me. There are certain generations that are counting on

  202. you for the blessings of God. There certain generations that

  203. I'm waiting for the manifestations of the children and the

  204. sounds of God, so that the blessing that God has

  205. blessed upon you who also rubble on them. He said,

  206. I called abrahammelo, but I called him to be the

  207. father of many nations mm hmm Hallelijah. So trust took

  208. a stand and said, as for me, as for me,

  209. and for me as for me, oh as for me,

  210. ask for me at my house. I praid that somebody

  211. would use that as on your status this this week

  212. that asked for me at my house, I for me

  213. in my house, I from me at my house. We

  214. alway served alone answer me. See one thing that made

  215. God to lave Abraham so much, and that Abraham could

  216. be called the friend of God, not just you as

  217. a man of it. But it's one thing that I

  218. have come to love about Abraham. Genesis eighteen eighteen, was

  219. God spoke about Abraham, testified about Abraham, said, I for Abraham,

  220. I know him. Ask somebody does the Lord know you? Oh? Actually,

  221. nobody that neighbor. Does the Lord know you? Uah tel.

  222. There are some of us God doesn't know, asshole. Let

  223. us know fool ourselves. The brother said that the foundation

  224. of the Lord sans show the Lord knows them, that

  225. his God knows those who belonged to him, Or you

  226. can't come to church and come to church. Be in

  227. the car, be at the back, projecting scriptures. And your

  228. God says, I don't know you, Jelli Hallelijah. We've got

  229. you Abraham because of something he said, For I know

  230. him that he will command his children and his household

  231. after him. And this I keep the way of the

  232. law to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may

  233. bring upon Abraham that which you are spoking of him.

  234. See so, God said, I know this guy. He will

  235. be able to command his family, not just his only

  236. by lordical children, but his own household. And mind you,

  237. Abraham had a lot of servant. He was even a

  238. mega chudge. He was even able to raise an I

  239. mean of three hundred and eighty, so that they were

  240. born and bred in the house of Abraham. And the

  241. Lord said, I know that Abraham will be able to

  242. command his children to obey the lawd what a man,

  243. What a man. A lot of people came out to

  244. give testimony. This gentlemen, Hello, this was her name, Come again,

  245. Stephen Nathan Ethan. There was something that strikes me about

  246. his testimony. He said, I thank God that threw me,

  247. threw me. People are coming to church, said something like that, yes,

  248. I said, Wow, tell me it's not a small testimony

  249. you that people will be coming to judge because of you,

  250. some of you when people hear that you're in next

  251. gen and say I'm alcohol Ah, if this fasting is

  252. in next gend, then I'm not even going there. That

  253. is a very bad report. But may you have a

  254. good report or may you have a good report? May

  255. you have a good report. I am my house. I

  256. am my house. People served the Lord and Joshua didn't

  257. just make this statement, let's go to judges after two.

  258. I'll come back on track while you're dealing with Let's

  259. start from seven, that is, after you be seven gold house.

  260. I mm hmmm.

  261. So can we already together and the people saved the

  262. Lord all the days of tissue? Okny, you will continue.

  263. Let's let's let's first there. So somebody didn't rose up

  264. and took a decision and said that add for me

  265. and my house yourself God, I was able to, as

  266. it welcompare our desk by his life style, his faith,

  267. he's believing God. He was able to get people to

  268. follow him and to as yourself God by his examples.

  269. So the Bible is styling us this was when Joshua

  270. was dead and gone, and somebody is writing about him

  271. and saying that, and the people served the Lord all

  272. the days of Jessua. It means that as long as

  273. Joshua was alive and he was in charge, there was

  274. no room for compromise. There was no room for compromise.

  275. There's somebody who didn't come here to believe. And you

  276. must style your children. I didn't give back to you

  277. so that you'll be an adult watship pack. You cannot

  278. be in that time and people around you are not

  279. serving God. No, we must be like Jesshua. And the

  280. people saved the law all the days of Jessua, all

  281. the days there was no room for deserving of any

  282. other thing about God. Why because the person had first

  283. of all made the decision that as long as I live,

  284. whosum that men, Hallelijah, and you must you must stand

  285. up and begin to prophetically and place your hand on

  286. your tomy. You wake up at them, I said, turn

  287. to my you hold your lawns like this, and you

  288. declare in the name of Jesus, none of my children,

  289. even your tomorrow or miss it. Hallelijah, Amen. That is

  290. how we live. The Christian life. The peoples have God,

  291. and all the days of the elders that out lived Jeshua,

  292. who had seen all the great persons of the Lord

  293. that he did for Israel. So a man was able

  294. to champion a cross were people to save God? What

  295. cause are you championing this morning in Axen? What part

  296. are you leading people on? That? Because of you? There's

  297. another man I love so much. In scripture, his name

  298. is a character his second Chronicles n He says, verse five,

  299. there was a young man who became a king at

  300. age sixteen, by the name of Isaiah. And the Bible

  301. said that as long as this man is a career

  302. lived Withssiah self God. Of course, the Bible said that

  303. a career taught Issiah in the ways of God. He

  304. tasked him how to serve God and not idols. And

  305. because of this guy withsire during his time, he destroyed

  306. a lot of idols that were raised. He destroyed a

  307. lot of shrines, He destroyed a lot of artists that

  308. were dedicated to idol worship in Israel. The Bible says,

  309. and he saw God in the days of second career,

  310. who had understanding in the visions of God. And as

  311. long as he sought the Lord. God made him to prosper.

  312. Give me unenealty, give me a nalty. See so Withsaiah

  313. saw God during the days of who says career, what

  314. was the career's assignment in the life of Siah. He

  315. taught him to fear God. He taught him to fear God.

  316. And the Bible say a salooners. The guy feared God.

  317. God made him towards to prosper. We need people who

  318. would teach us to fear God, who always crossed us.

  319. Bring our tention to ourselves that we need God. We

  320. need people that would push us towards God, not people

  321. who pull us away from God. Hello, tell somebody you

  322. need a friend who push you towards God. It's not

  323. a friend who is always pulling you away. It's that

  324. one kilometers away, two kilometers dicilimitars, and now you see

  325. how far away you are from God. A guy who

  326. will always pull you away by removing your pants revenge.

  327. James are talking about it the other night, any time

  328. he removes your pants. Once you grow five kilometers away

  329. from God, some of you you are in pasand kilimeters,

  330. then you can imagine the number of times they have

  331. removed their pants. Hallelujah. Amen, you need a friend who

  332. will bring about a discussion that will stare up a desire,

  333. and then you hunger for God made the Lord help us,

  334. made a Lord help us. Hallelujah. And I believe that

  335. is why next generation church is here, that there will

  336. be no room for a God in the spirit. See

  337. it saddens my heart. Judges after you that will be read.

  338. Let's go back to Judges chapter two. After Joshua and

  339. the elders that were with him are tied and gone,

  340. the Bible says, a new generation arose. A new generation

  341. arose who knew that God or Joshua know that here

  342. done a very big program. Cap Let's go back to

  343. verse nine. Let's go churm to Verson, No ten, go

  344. to ten for me, go to eleven. Okay, what was it? Ten? Okay?

  345. Go back to the ten. Okay. So and also all

  346. the generations were guarded onto your father's and there I

  347. rose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord,

  348. a great error, a great erab who knew not the

  349. Lord nor yet the works he had done for Israel.

  350. So there was a very great gap in the knowledge

  351. of God. The other the nation was supposed to burst

  352. on the knowledge of God onto the next generation so

  353. that there would be no cap but they failed at

  354. some point, so a new generation came. They didn't know

  355. about God, neither the things he had done for its raine.

  356. And because they didn't know that, they created their own God.

  357. The Bible says, so they began to save their boths.

  358. Go to verse eleven. So because they didn't know about God,

  359. they didn't have any knowledge about God and all that

  360. is he had done, they decided to create for themselves

  361. a God. They decided to choose any God and to worship, saying,

  362. the children of is right did evil in the search

  363. of the law and served Baalim, that is bad. So

  364. they decided to serve the bowels an. I don't why,

  365. because they didn't know the God of the Father. For

  366. this and that is a mistaken that generation we cannot

  367. afford to make this time around. That is why we

  368. need to stand in the garden and breaks, so that

  369. as we are moving now, the knowledge of God will

  370. be passed on to our children. That there will never

  371. be a time that your children will come and they

  372. don't know the God that you have self faithfully all

  373. this year. Can you imagine, God forbid that they will

  374. come the time my grandchildren will come, and they don't

  375. know the God that I'm serving, the God that I'm

  376. serving through all these years you are in the choir.

  377. Look at how you're serving God. You have been playing

  378. the keyboard. Look at all the things I've been doing,

  379. the services I've been rounding. The house of God and

  380. the nation after you will come and they have no

  381. idea about the things you have done. And so they

  382. begin to invent and to make for themselves a new God.

  383. God forbid, say, God for bid sair, God for bed sair,

  384. God for bid, it will not happen. My children must

  385. know about my God. So God was so instructive. He

  386. told them all the things I'm doing in your life,

  387. make sure you pass it on to them. When day

  388. passed that God said, even the stones, the stones don't

  389. live there decades because it is a source of confidence.

  390. While you are till there asks you what had this

  391. one for? Let them know about the kind of deliverers.

  392. God did it for you. God didn't want as it

  393. wasn't where that is he has done will be lost

  394. in history. And you got to a time, a generation

  395. came that didn't know anything about God. God is never happy,

  396. is not never happy that in this country, in this country,

  397. in Ghana, there will be a time the generation ris

  398. and they don't know about our father. The abishrom God

  399. forbid God for being God for God for a bed,

  400. God for bed. You might be sitting there and you

  401. think that is too far away. No, it's not far away.

  402. It can happen when you and I that have drunk

  403. of the wells of the prophetic oil of our father,

  404. the Abbish become dormant and refuse to pass on the

  405. battle to the netenation. You will be a gop created.

  406. You go out to preach and you see it's amazing

  407. that there are a lot of the new generations so

  408. that don't know proper. We've been surprised, I'm telling you,

  409. and all the process what I sister this? You ask somebody, Oh,

  410. I'm from accent chap On. My father is the ibisure

  411. that can Williams and just catching their eads? Action? Which action?

  412. Who is Papa? And I'm like, ah, you meanly don't

  413. know Papa. I'm telling you there are people in Garna

  414. here who don't know about I find out the Abishop

  415. Hellod bachelor, you growing up. Papa is Papa. There's nobody

  416. like Papa. There's only one Papa. But why a mug

  417. generation is imagined, and it is a responsibility to carry

  418. the pattern to them, so that there's the nurses. Than

  419. the nurses will continue to know that a man assisted

  420. on this head. His name is his amin as eyebisure

  421. that I'm Williams. He was talking apostle all startgy prayers, Hylarijah.

  422. So that is it. Why I thought that trick is

  423. going on is because a generation failed to preserve the

  424. knowledge of God. So there were lots with nothing but

  425. to choose for themselves what they wanted. So they started

  426. to do evil and to serve their bows. That's that

  427. shall not be your portion, So that shall not be

  428. your porson you become a touch bearer, Oh you better word,

  429. you carry that side of God. Can't satire fly, They

  430. can't do let it never. Besides that attire will come

  431. and her father will not be known, and your efforts

  432. will not be appreciated. Hi mayandol hahia fellos kip a

  433. heartier how deep brown consult one John five, verse twenty one,

  434. and so at that time, these people used to bow

  435. that and worship physical idols, wooding cravin images status of anything.

  436. There's this school of thoughts of philosophy or belief called pantheism,

  437. and a lot of the Eastern religions believe in that.

  438. You know, one of the teachings in pantheism says that

  439. God is in everything. Okay, God created everything, so God

  440. is in everything, and so everything is God. And so

  441. I can't take this phone, and because I believe that

  442. God is in this, I can start worshiping this from indirected,

  443. I'm worshiping God. So when you go to India, they

  444. can take there's a stone and start worshiping the stone

  445. because they believe is that God is in it. They

  446. can come and buy before this monitor this lika, and

  447. that becomes their God. But we have been instructed by

  448. God that we should not bow down to any other image.

  449. So it's also come on to see people raising all

  450. ties to visible idols. But I want to shock you

  451. this morning that in our day and age, you're serving

  452. more idols than they did. Why because they may not

  453. be visible that we see around, But as long as

  454. they take the place of God, as long as they

  455. are faction that is still God. We directly to those idols. See,

  456. anything that takes the place of God is an idol.

  457. What makes it an idol? It's not the fact that

  458. it is a statue or it's that trophy. Then you

  459. see if they know what makes it an idol is

  460. the fact that they affectioning the reference that reaching that

  461. is still God. You have channeled it towards that thing.

  462. That is what makes it an idol. Hello, Hello, So

  463. it is not an idol because there is a traditional

  464. perish or effect this place. Who is dancing Greek? Ta kko,

  465. Blame me something, Blame me something, to blame something Greek Greek.

  466. You see powder and you're chanting and they're doing No,

  467. that is not the only thing that makes it an

  468. idol worship, but the fact that God's place has been exchanged,

  469. the fact that your priorities have changed, and you have

  470. not given God the first place in your life, but

  471. that boyfriend had become the first place in your life.

  472. That boyfriend had become an idol in your life and

  473. name then it could be your phone and nything that

  474. has taken the place of God, that admirationing, that reference

  475. that is you God, It is an idol in your

  476. life when it's time to come to church. And they said,

  477. I know, tell you today we have football that day

  478. because you allow that football to take the place of

  479. cour and to stop you from coming to church, because

  480. become an idol when it's time to pray. Then hey,

  481. it thinks going on. Now you're going to say media.

  482. He tell is nice. So you see, you will be

  483. on your phone for hours the time that you're supposed

  484. to be praying. When and the spirit of God is

  485. speaking to you. God is yearning for a fellowship. God

  486. is yearning life in the dose days. God will come

  487. me the cool of the day to have fellowship and

  488. coming on what ma'am? And the spirit of God is

  489. speaking to you. My daughter's time to pray. But you're

  490. so clue to your phone. That thing has become an idol.

  491. Some of you. The idol in your life is money.

  492. See anything you cannot give up, I'll give away for God.

  493. It means that you are placed that then above cold

  494. and it becomes an idol. So you'll come to church

  495. when it's time for offering. You afforded your money, all

  496. the first notes will go under the twenty cities. The

  497. future city is the hand that even the ten. Then

  498. it's left in the five cities, and then the two

  499. two to to two cities two two cities, one one

  500. one Citi and the one and the way that even

  501. will affold it for me? Can you man of God?

  502. Then there's offering time you come and just drop something,

  503. as if they're giving God a table. You see, so

  504. you have placed your money above God in your life.

  505. You have given your money the first place in your

  506. life and not God. And that is what makes it

  507. an idol. So at all, what there is a relationship,

  508. even with your parents, with your boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever, with things?

  509. What there is your car, your phone, your sneakers. Ain't

  510. noting that has taken the place of God. An't it

  511. doing your place above God? It's an idol? So little children,

  512. keep yourself from idols. Let us go to the energy

  513. energy their children. Keep away from anything that might take

  514. God's place in your hearts. Anything on anything, say anything,

  515. say anything, and it includes all the things in your

  516. minds that you're thinking about. You know, you know that,

  517. you know that the person you know, you know, your dad,

  518. your dad ain't nothing. It could even be my salvation. Anything, anything,

  519. ain't nothing that has taken the place of God in

  520. your hearts. It's a night. So you may not have

  521. any traditional priests to go about and dance, but you

  522. are the one dancing before that thing. You are the

  523. one on the whole comments I wasn't hall Elijah, h

  524. it has become an idol. Why because you have given

  525. pre eminence, You have given prominence, you have given a

  526. priority to that thing above God. Because you see in

  527. Joshua twenty two five, before we coming into the New Testament,

  528. that the Antis says, what should we do the all

  529. the commandments? What must we do?

  530. No?

  531. Joshua said that by taking take diligent heed to the commandments,

  532. and the Lord, which most is the servant of the Lord,

  533. charge you to love the Lord your God, and to

  534. work in all his face, and to keep his commandments,

  535. and to clive unto him, and to serve him with

  536. all your heart and with all your soul. This is

  537. the commandment when he says, came was retreated in the

  538. New Testament. So we said, the Lord said that we

  539. should serve him, We should clive unto him, We should

  540. clive unto him. We serve him with all our heart

  541. and with all our soul. So and that thing out

  542. take the place of God in their hearts. Just as

  543. if we had the desert, we should self the Lord

  544. and God with all your strengths, with all your mights.

  545. Really some of us, our strength and our mind is

  546. turning out into something else, but not the service of God,

  547. and that becomes an idol. In the Old Testament, the

  548. command God gave them was so visible, was waiting on

  549. tablets you could see, and so they were also worship

  550. when eye doors that you could see by. In our generation,

  551. the lawd said, there's a new law. I'm going to

  552. make our rights on the tables of their hearts. Our

  553. write it on their tablets of their heart. He said,

  554. I'll give them a new spirit, and I'll take away

  555. the stony heart. I'll give them a heart of flesh.

  556. So in our generation, the law of God is written

  557. on our hearts. So we don't worship idols physically, that

  558. we worship them in our hearts. So anything that takes

  559. the place of God in your life becomes an idol.

  560. We're going to pray this morning. What is it that

  561. has become an idol in your life? That maybe you've

  562. not even noticed. We have not even noticed, and I

  563. don't can even be food. Food food, yes, food, that

  564. thing that is stopping you so that you come first
