Sermon Tone Analysis

Godly people in your life

Jehosaphat was a Godly man (2 Chronicles 17:3-4;6)

The Lord was with him

He walked in the earlier ways of King David

He sought the Lord & forsook the practices of the kings of Israel who abandoned God

He was courageous for the ways of God

25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Spiritual support

Guided by biblical principles

Proverbs 3:5-6

When Jehosaphat initially said lets enquire of the Lord and Ahab summoned the 400 prophets of baal, Jehosaphat was able to discern that this is not of God

and you need people in your life that are spiritually sensitive enough to call a spade a spade and not be concerned about your feelings but be concerned about you soul to the point they are bold enough to say, this is not of God

You need contemporaries whom God is currently using, more over you need to be Pastored

2 Chronicles

Ahab avoided being Pastored

Ahab avoided accountability

Godly advice

You need to be Pastored

You need people in your life that genuinely care about you spiritually

pray for you

Ephesians 4:

PEOPLE YOU DON’T NEED IN YOU LIFE

People that only tell you good stuff....flattery (;)

Proverbs 27:5-6

5 Better is open rebuke

than hidden love.

6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted,

but an enemy multiplies kisses.

People that only tell you what you want to hear don’t really have your back, THEY GOT THERE OWN BACK!

THEY ARE LOOKING OUT FOR THERE OWN BEST INTEREST

ITS LIKE THE PHARMCEUTICAL INDUSTRY....THEY JUST WANT TO MEDICATE …THEY DON’T WANT TO CURE ..

LETS GET TOO THE ROOT

Proverbs 29:5

5 Those who flatter their neighbors

are spreading nets for their feet.

WHEN YOU SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE THAT ONLY SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, YOU ARE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR FAILURE!

AND YOUR BEING DECEIVED

PROVERBS 20:14

14 “It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer—

then goes off and boasts about the purchase.

Go along to get along

2 Chronicles 18:12-13

Ephesians 4:15

15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ

Rejects Godly counsel (; )

Psalm 1:1

1 Blessed is the one

who does not walk in step with the wicked

or stand in the way that sinners take

or sit in the company of mockers,

James 4:17

17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
