Crash the Chatterbox By Steven Furtick



Crashing the chatterbox = Overpowering lies of insecurity, fear, condemnation, and discouragement with the promises of God.
“I used to think that someone who struggled with the kinds of weaknesses I deal with daily was useless to God. I felt so often like I was drowning in internal dialogue I couldn’t control. It had been the soundtrack of my life for as long as I could remember.

Yet everything changed when I began to realize God has given us the ability to choose the dialogue we believe and respond to. And once we learn how, we can switch from lies to truth as deliberately as we can choose the Beatles over Miley Cyrus on satellite radio.

This is the key to pressing ahead and doing God’s will anyway, even as you are bombarded with thoughts, feelings, and even facts about why you can’t do it.

I’m now awakening to the reality that we can access the power of God’s promises to constantly crash the system of our broken beliefs. I’m learning how to overpower the shouts of the Enemy by bending my ear to the whisper of God’s supernatural truths about my identity in Him and His strength in me.”
-STEVEN FURTICK, from Crash the Chatterbox

Inside your head and heart is a chatterbox. Its lies are keeping you from realizing your God-given potential. But what can you do about them?
 
The Voice You Listen to Will Determine the Future You Experience

In Crash the Chatterbox, Pastor Steven Furtick focuses on four key areas in which negative thoughts are most debilitating: insecurity, fear, condemnation, and discouragement. He asks, “What great deeds are in danger of remaining undone in your life because of lies that were planted in your past or fears that are looming in your future?”

With personal stories, inspiring examples, and practical strategies, Pastor Furtick will show you how to silence the lies and embrace the freeing affirmation of God.

Learn how to live out God’s truth no matter what is going on in your life or thoughts.

Learn how to crash the chatterbox…and hear God’s voice above all others.

I was just not sure about this book after all of the negative posts about Steven and his shows that he puts on at his church.
I did start reading it and I watched very close for the false teaching that I have heard a whole lot about.
I read it while reading my Bible along with it and prayerfully seeking the truth.
I must say that the book itself for the most part is Biblically sound. There was some un biblical things in the book.
Steven gives a lot of  advice through out the book.
If you are looking for a feel good book then this might be the book for you.
I gave this book 3.5 stars.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.

  1. There are so many false teachings out there today that the Bible speaks about and we do have to be careful not to fall into trap. I haven't heard anything about Steven, but I enjoyed your honest review Mary. I have come to depend on them a great deal and in what books that I want to read based on your reviews. Thanks!
