Summary

Your distraction isn’t after your life—it’s after your vision. In Week 8 of Death to Distraction, Pastor Michael Todd challenged us with a question: Is your distraction playing you? Some of us have become so comfortable with our distractions that we don’t even realize they’re draining our strength. Like Samson, we’ve nurtured what was meant to conquer us, and by the time we wake up, it’s already taken more than we ever intended to give. It’s time to wake up and break free. We pray this message helps you identify the exits of distraction and realign your focus on what God has for you in this season!

0:00.0	Welcome to Transformation Church podcast, where we represent God to the lost and found for
0:07.5	transformation in Christ. We're so glad you're here, and wherever you're listening from,
0:11.4	we believe God will transform your life through today's message. Today, as we start the last week
0:19.4	of an eight-week series, we're calling Death to Distraction.
0:22.9	Today I want to remind you that God is requiring from you another level of focus.
0:28.3	If you're taking notes, I want you to write focus real big at the top of your notes.
0:32.6	I want you to type it and push the header and make it bold on your phone.
0:39.0	Because the truth of the matter is that you're too distracted for the destiny God's called you to.
0:46.2	I don't know what your distraction is.
0:48.2	I'm not saying we even have the same distraction.
0:51.2	Some of our distractions do overlap.
0:56.4	But the truth of the matter is many times I'm worried about your distraction when I'm imprisoned by mine. And I believe that God wants everybody to
1:03.3	focus. Focus on him so that then he can give you what to focus on. Everybody hear what I'm saying.
1:10.3	God doesn't just say focus because a lot of times I come to people and I'm like, yo, I need you to focus on. Everybody hear what I'm saying. God doesn't just say focus,
1:11.9	because a lot of times I come to people and I'm like, yo, I need you to focus on God. But what about
1:15.4	my bills? What about my relationship? What about my kids? God's never telling you to focus on him
1:21.2	to forget other things. He's telling you to focus on him so he can give you priority of how to focus,
1:27.3	where to focus, when to focus. That friend, he's been trying to get you to focus on him so he can give you priority of how to focus. Where to focus.
1:28.9	When to focus.
1:29.8	That friend, he's been trying to get you to let go off for years.
1:33.2	He's trying to help prioritize the patterns and the people in your life.
1:38.5	So when God says, focus, the Bible tells us he's the one that lights our path.
