God Doesn't Remove Blessings. He Removes What's Replacing Him

In this sermon excerpt, Blake Robert Templeton asserts that only two sources speak to a believer: God’s voice and the enemy’s voice, both contending for the soul’s allegiance. He explains that when a person follows God’s voice—seeking Him as a hidden treasure—they receive the Lord’s goodness, provision, and blessings. Conversely, if they heed the enemy’s voice, relying on their own understanding, God must withdraw those blessings because the enemy will usurp the authority and power God intended to give. The message emphasizes discernment, the spiritual battle over one’s inner territory, and the principle that God removes what replaces Him in order to restore His blessings.

Chapters

There's only two sources: God's voice or the enemy's voice. And both of them are fighting for our soul. They're both fighting to own the territory. If we listen to the enemy's voice, out of God's love, he's like, I'm going to have to take things from you to help you strip yourself to come back to my voice. But if you listen to my voice and you do not waver and you search for me as hidden treasure, then I will give you the goodness of the Lord. I will give you the measures of the Lord. I will give you the provisions of the Lord. I will give you all the blessings I have in store for you. But if you choose to lean on your own understanding, i.e., the enemy's voice, I will have to begin to take those things from you. Because the enemy will actually take all the authority and power I give you, and he'll take it. You'll abdicate to him, and then he'll have more power over you.
