this will not be a season where we try things to see what people think no drift
this is not the year of experimentation this is not the year of trying let's see this is not the
year on i'm gonna do it on a whim this is the year if i don't got a word for god no drift
2021 this is a prophetic word is the year of the anti-drift 2021 is the year that we are anchored
but there's a reason because we cannot drift that word anti means no everybody shot at me no
come on you've been saying it to your husband and your wife all week say it like you mean it say no
okay and drift means to be carried away slowly god spoke to us no being carried away slowly
no anti-drift what the enemy would love to do to you and your family
is that by the end of 2021 you have slowly drifted away from the things of god
what he would love to happen is for you and and your business to go away from integris
big business practices because you don't have the same business you used to have
and the trajectory doesn't look the same that you would slowly drift and god said no drift
no talking to those people that's not your wife that's not your husband don't drift down there
get off that website unfriend them no drift don't even entertain that no drift stop letting your
kids go to those people's house you see their attitude changing every time they come back from
spending the night over their house and you just want a day off i gave you those kids to raise them
in uh i gave you those kids to raise them in my ways and every time you send them over there so
you can have a wine break they're drifting this is the year of everybody say no drift
anti-drift see see what happens is it says it's carried away slowly the picture in my mind it's
like a little boat it starts it starts going and it says it's carried away from truth slowly
carried away from integrity slowly carried away from watch this one purity slowly yeah the drift
it's nothing abrupt but but what the enemy wants it to do is be so consistent
and so intentionally undetectable that you're carried away from consistency slowly
carried away from serving slowly carried away from being generous slowly everybody say slowly
yeah what i found out as i began to think about this and god was saying this is the year of no
drift michael don't drift in the values of this church don't drift in the standards of this church
i've given you a bigger platform but i've given you the same message no drift don't drift when i
tell you to talk about it you talk about it you talked about it when there was 35 people coming
and i want you to talk to him when it's 35 000 people coming no drift don't drift don't drift
the reason he's saying that is because if you do drift you're being carried away from something
but being carried away from something always means you're being carried to something else
and the thing about the drift is you can begin to get carried away from truth but then you start
drifting into lies you get carried away from integrity and you start drifting into deceit
carried away from purity and now you're drifting into perversion when i went into the years and the
muck of the mire of pornography and perversion i didn't just wake up one day and say i want to be
addicted to pornography it was adrift it was going to barnes and nobles and seeing the the section
that had the uh can i be real today okay like it was going to barnes and nobles after school
and going from the kids section to the sports section and i love the espn magazines and i'm
looking at the shoes and and then i'm seeing some some magazines with plastic on them and i pull
one up and it's a young lady with nothing on but covering and it invites me in and i put it back
that time because i thought somebody was looking but then i asked my mom and dad could i go back
to barzanova the next day because it didn't start in the perversion my purity started to drift and i
went back and then espn back in the day made huge magazines and so i was i was curious and clever
enough to take the magazine and put it inside of the espn magazine and go back to the kids section
because i wanted to be in a surroundings that nobody would suspect my perversion
i just want to be real and i would sit next to dr seuss looking at double d's do you hear what i'm
saying to you i it was it was it was sitting there sam i am my god i have mercy on like anyway i was
sitting there and what the enemy did for an entire year is take my purity on a slow drift and i know
this may not be your issue but what issue do you have where you didn't just end up at insecurity
you didn't just end up at overeating you didn't just end up at gossip it was a drift
you drifted from how can i help you to what can i get from this you used to be so generous you used
to want to help people you used to want to be the one that didn't need any credit and now you won't
do it unless you know where your name falls on the real sheet how did you get there it was adrift
you went from being generous and drifting to being selfish this is the big one you even went
from being humble and now you've been carried away and you're drifting into pride the one thing that
god says i can't even be a part of now some of you didn't recognize it but now you're getting it
is that my cameraman started drifting slowly away from me and now on your screen
there is a view that is not desirable you can't see the whole thing because my cameraman drifted
and now the problem is he didn't just drift in position now he's drifted in focus and now what
was clear to you has now become very blurry because somebody you don't even know drifted
what i'm saying to you right now is nothing's wrong with your screen something's wrong with
the person who's operating the thing that helps you see and you don't know them
and you don't know their name and you don't didn't even know that they would affect you
but because they begin to drift off of center drift off of focus drift from humility into pride
and can't take correction the thing about it is the camera people in the back are telling them
to do something else but he's so prideful that he will not drift away from what he is doing
right now to be able to correct something for somebody else what if i tell you i have 45 more
minutes of the message but you had to watch it like this because somebody else drifted
this is what your life looks like that it happens slowly but it affects everybody
and god said that 2021 is the year of the anti-drift somebody shot at me no drift in
your marriage no drift and your finances no drift i'm speaking this right now in our church no drift
this will not be a season where we try things to see what people think no drift this is not
the year of experimentation this is not the year of trying let's see this is not the year
and i'm gonna do it on a whim this is the year if i don't got a word for god no drift why it's
because the myth of the drift i'm gonna give you the myth the myth of the drift is that it
happens suddenly but it always happens slowly your drift in private affects others in public
do you understand that when you drift in integrity
when nobody's there it affects children that aren't even born to you yet
the drift the little drift the little line you do on your taxes
is going to pass down for four generations and your last generation is going to end
up in jail for tax fraud because you started claiming a dependent that just
no longer lives in the house it was little for you but it becomes a lifestyle for them
the reason god's saying don't drift is because what's little for you becomes a lifestyle for them
it is the time for the church to stand up and say it doesn't matter what culture says it doesn't
matter what society says it doesn't matter what our family members say that aren't anchored in
the word we have decided that the word of god and jesus christ is our anchor we are tied to
it our soul is anchored and we will not drift i dare somebody who's making a decision right now
that they're not gonna drift in 2021 to yell at the top of their lungs no drift
you're gonna be able to walk to people that work with you and watch tc and
they're going to leave work early and you're going to say no drift
hold on let's be let's bring it very practical you seen them leaving 30 minutes earlier no no
that's not integrity they're paying us to be here for this entire hour no drift what happens when
you have accountability and that's why you have to be around people but paul was trying to give them
the ability not to drift but they didn't lift listen because drifting in position and focus
affects everything and i'm telling you right now god told us at the beginning of 2021 don't drift
stay anchored at tbn our mission is to use every available means to reach as many individuals and
families as possible with the life-changing gospel of jesus christ thank you for helping
make the gospel of grace go around the world without you we couldn't do it god bless you
