Burn the Ships: Apathy Part 1 Can I get an Amen Podcast

Welcome back, everyone! The previous series called Testimonies was super powerful- lives were changed and God moved mightily through the stories of his children speaking honestly about how God wrecked their world from death to life. We may go back to this series later, but we are changing the gear slightly as of now. Our next series is called Burn the Ships, I am joined up by some of my good friends – Bruce, Griffin, Zion, and Hunter. So, it was pretty neat how this idea was birthed. We were having a prayer night just the four of us up in our room talking about some things and a verse came to Griff’s mind that struck us all so we dove deep into that verse.
The verse was 2 Chronicles 7:11-16 which says, “When Solomon had finished the temple of the Lord and the royal palace and had succeeded in carrying out all he had in mind to do in the temple of the Lord and in his own palace, the Lord appeared to him at night and said: I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices. When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there."
The Spirit was moving actively through our prayers. It led to Griff writing down in his journal Burn the Ships. He articulated that the ships are sins that we need to burn completely. Sin holds each one of us back from our full potential in Christ, and if we are not careful, our sin will lead to death. God calls us to humble ourselves, pray, seek God's face, and turn from our wicked ways. We must flee and turn from these ships in our lives that are steering us in the wrong direction. So, in this series, we discuss common ships that need to be burned in followers of Jesus's lives including ours. I hope you not only listen and enjoy this series but, more importantly, burn these ships in your life as well!
