Sermon Notes : Breaking the Bondage of Wrong Belief
• Judges 6:22-29
• Alt title : Me & God Got Back Together
• Recency bias : when the last thing that happens carries the most weight with you and you judge an entire thing off of the most recent thing that happened.
• It doesn’t take much to go from 10 to a 2.
• Relationship with Jesus is not achieved but received.
• God is not a scale, or a religion but a person : Jesus.
• It’s a covenant.
• It’s a 10 because of him even when I act like a 2.
• We can be in covenant with God and still in captivity.
• You have permission to admit that there are midianites in your life.
• If I can’t admit that I’m in the battle how can I see clearly enough to take the shot?
• Ephesians 2:13
• You may try to break up with God, but God won’t let you.
• I feel far from God but I’m not far from God.
• I was, but…
• The lord allowed the midianites to oppress his people to bring his people back to him.
• God is preparing you while you’ve been hidden.
• Sometimes when God shows up in your life the first thing you feel is fear.
• Feel safe on the cave and scared when it’s time to step out.
• As you are trying to build it back, God wants to show you that this time you built it it will stand the test of faith.
• You cannot have God’s father and keep it without having God’s priorities.
• God’s peace without God’s priorities is always temporary.
• The kind of peace you’ve been crying out for only comes from priorities.
• Before you can defeat Midian, you must dethrone Baal.
• God loves you too much to leave you like he found you.
• He’ll call you to breakup with something to get to the breakthrough.
• Maybe there are some Baals in your life that have let you down.
• Quiet quit. Ghosting.
• The only reason you’re a 10 is because he kept coming to get you.
• The reason I didn’t break down is because God didn’t let me break up with him.
• God loves you so much that he’ll allow you to be in bondage for a little while rather than allow you to worship Baal for the rest of your life.
• It’s not to do with the family you were raised by but the beliefs that you cherish, or behave out of.
• There is nothing that can make you feel full of you are empty without him.
• Living for pleasure causes too much pain on the other side.
• Weeping may endure for a night.
• It’s a divorce from you belief system that is keeping you stuck.
• It’s not about the altar but what’s on it.
• Clear your algorithm this week.
• After the breakup there’s always breakthrough.
• You keep thinking the problem that is against you that you can see, but the problem is that you keep abandoning what is in you.
• The thing that made the altar proper wasn’t what it was made of, but what was on it.
• The bull represents Baal, the mascot of their idolatry.
• God is saying I want you to believe me more than you believe Baal.
• Then enemy lies to you, and feed you as much bull as you will listen to.
• Today is the day for you to put the bull on the altar.
• Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
• There are some lies that you have believed that must die so that you can live.
• There is nothing you can do that can separate him from you.
