Lip Synching Christians Series

Do you want to rid yourself of lip-syncing? Just make sure that the words you speak and the words that you meditate on are acceptable to God. While we’re in Psalms, turn to chapter 42 and we’re going to read verse 5. “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance.” (Psalm 42:5) Turn to Psalm 119:97 which says, “Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.” And finally, Proverbs 16:13, which states: “Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And they love him who speaks what is right.”

Conclusion

When we lip-sync, we are saying what needs to be said and what other Christians expect us to say, but it is not manifesting in our lives. All of us have lip-syncing in our lives to some degree. Let’s just be honest about it. But the more we put on God’s Word, the more we make it the meditation of our heart, the less and less lip-syncing is going to occur. When you get rid of all the lip-syncing, then the power of God will begin to manifest in your life because there will nothing disagreeing with it.

As we close this lesson, we want you to think about the areas in your life where you might be lip-syncing. You know those areas – the ones where you say all the right things but deep down you know what you believe. Ask yourself in those areas do you believe what God’s Word says? Do you trust what God’s Word says? Do you ultimately have faith in what God’s Word says? If any of your answers are no, that is where you need to start in removing the areas of your life where you might be lip-syncing. And again, this applies to all of us.

Rodney, do you have any final comments before I pray?
