Danny Gokey Reminds Fans ‘The Word of God Works’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Christian artist Danny Gokey is reminding us to rely on the word of God in times of trouble.
“Are you struggling with addiction today? Are you struggling with anger, with unforgiveness, with frustration? Is life basically just not working out well for you? You know, there’s an easy remedy to fix that,” he said in a recent Instagram video.
Gokey cited Proverbs 18:20-21:
From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled;
with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.
The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
“Did you know that you can change your situation by simply starting to declare the word of God over your situation?” Gokey asked his followers. “The law of gravity still works, whether you believe it or not. Two plus two always equals four. And the Bible says the word of God always sets out and accomplishes what it was intended to do. You need to begin to rise up in faith and speak the word of God over your situation.”
He concluded, “The word of God works. And those who begin to practice the word of God will begin to see the word of God work in their lives.”
Gokey often shares messages of faith and encouragement with his followers.
In one recent post, he wrote, “Do you love discipline? Might not be your fave *BUT* the Bible actually says that it leads to knowledge and wisdom. Just like with a plane, little course corrections are necessary to get you to your destination. It does not mean judgment – it is what you need to get to a life of joy, peace and happiness! Don’t be offended by the Word. Instead allow its correction to transform how you feel, think and live!”
Movieguide® previously reported on Gokey’s thoughts on the importance of following the Bible’s instructions:
On Instagram last week, Christian artist Danny Gokey shared why it’s important to follow God’s word or, as he calls it, our “instruction manual.”
“The Bible is the instruction manual to our lives. God is our manufacturer. And to simplify it, I got this Lego set here,” he said, gesturing to a Lego car set.
“Lego is the manufacturer, and this is the instruction manual that Lego gave to put this together to create this design. But what if were to take this instruction manual and throw it away and then decide, by how I felt, how this should come together?” he asked viewers. “It would lead to experimentation, it would lead to confusion, and it would lead to frustration because I would never be able to put this together.”
He shared that many people today try to make their own guidelines or live without them.
“They’ve thrown the instruction manual away, they’ve disregarded the manufacturer and now they are living confused, frustrated, serving their feelings, which is making them more self-absorbed and more selfish than ever. But the instruction manual, the Bible, has all the answers that you need to live,” the AMERICAN IDOL alumni said.
“It has the answers to marriage. It has the answers to gender. It has the answers to sex, finances, family, raising kids, jobs. Everything you need is found in this instruction manual,” he said.
