I also recommend watching the 6 sermons on for the series. Conclusionīuy and read this book or listen to the audio book. This section was exceptionally encouraging for me and my favorite by far. In one of my favorite stories, the Parable of the Passport, Pastor Steven shows us that we should come to God with Thanksgiving, because that’s our “passport.” But then he ends the story showing us that to do God’s work, we’ve already got what we need and it’s been with us the whole time. We say things like, “if they only knew me, they would hate me…” Well God knows us and he still loves us. Many of us, myself included, go through times where we don’t feel like we’re worthy.
In this section, we learn about overpowering the lies about our condemnation. That tells me that the battle is already won. I especially like that Pastor Steven says that God Speaks in the past tense about battles you’re currently fighting. And He buries the shame of yesterday in order to resurrect the moment you are in and sustain you in the season He is calling you to embrace.” God speaks in the past tense about battles you’re currently fighting. “The One who lives outside of time invites you into a reality that is informed by His perfect plans to give you hope and a future. One of my favorite quotes from the book happens in this section. As I play this out, as Pastor Steven instructed, I realize that the fear was all just lies from the Chatterbox. Play out the worse case scenario and then what? Well, won’t God always provide for us? For me, one of my fears is inviting people to Church. Pastor Steven instructs us to play out whatever it is that we’re afraid of. In this section, Pastor Steven reminds us of all the things God has done and how easily we forget what God has done for us. If God says we are capable, who are we to argue with Him? Pastor Steven also points out that if we criticize a product, aren’t we criticizing the manufacturer? Aren’t we a product of God? Section 2 – God Says He Will. He placed you on the earth at a certain time for a pre-decided purpose.” That didn’t stop Him from calling your name and setting you apart. “Before you were born-before any of your defects were apparent to you-they were absolutely apparent to God. He points out that God called us before we were born. Pastor tells us that God made us perfectly for the tasks that he’s called us to do. In this section Pastor Steven addresses the issues that we have without selves and with the lies that we tell ourselves, like “I’m never _ enough.” Fill in the blank.
Okay, now back to the summary… Section 1 – God Says I Am. If you haven’t seen or heard that one yet, check it out. The final chapter and conclusion come from one of my favorite Pastor Steven sermon, Pound the Ground. This is not a bad thing at all, but it does skew my feelings on the book some.
#The chatterbox full
It’s not because the content isn’t full of great nuggets of information, but its because most of the content contains points that I’ve heard Pastor Steven make every week at Elevation. I’m going to briefly summarize each section, then the conclusion, where Pastor Steven talks about how we must continue to “Pound the Ground.” Before I get into the 4 sections, I need to first explain why this wasn’t as good as Greater to me. The book is broken into 4 sections of simple truths that Pastor Steven calls confessions: To be honest, this book wasn’t as meaningful or as powerful to me as Greater was, but it was still one of the top 5 Christian books that I’ve ever read. Pastor Steven points out that one of the enemy’s best weapons isn’t temptation, but fear, doubt and self-conscious thoughts that keep us from doing the will of God. His other 2, Sun Stand Still and Greater were excellent, so I came into this with high expectations.Ĭrash the Chatterbox is a book about hearing God’s voice above all of the other chatter that goes on inside of our heads. This is the 3 rd book by Steven Furtick that I’ve read in the past 2 years. By Steven Furtick – Click here to buy on Amazon
