What are you allowing through the gates of your life?

In this powerful message, Denny Staerker challenges us to guard our eyes, ears, and mouth—because what we continually watch, listen to, think about, and speak is shaping who we are becoming.

Using the life of David, Denny shows how something that begins with what we allow our eyes to behold can eventually take root in the heart and lead us places we never intended to go. The enemy often doesn't destroy a life all at once. It begins with a seed, a thought, an image, a voice, or a seemingly small compromise.

But transformation works the same way.

As we intentionally fill our minds with God's Word, renew our thinking, guard what we listen to, and begin speaking God's truth over our lives, we can break agreement with the lies of the enemy and move in the direction God has called us to go.

Denny also shares his powerful personal testimony of how God rescued him from alcoholism and what appeared to be a death sentence. After being told that he had severe cirrhosis of the liver and only months to live, Denny reached one of the darkest moments of his life. But God intervened, restored him, and set his feet on a solid rock. Today, his life is a testimony that your past does not have to determine your future.
