A Distraction Named David // Death To Distraction: Week 5 // Michael Todd
I just stepped off the platform after preaching a message that truly struck me to my core. As God spoke to me, He corrected me, transformed me, and changed me through a powerful word about eliminating the distraction of comparison.
Let’s be honest—every one of us struggles with comparison in some way. But God is calling us to surrender that comparison to Him. If we don’t, we risk turning our allies into enemies. This message is designed to help you break free from the cycle of comparison and experience true transformation.
This word is for your relationships, your friendships, and even your marriage. It will help you stop turning neutral situations into unnecessary conflicts. The message is titled “A Distraction Named David”—and trust me, it’s not what you think. I’m excited about what God is about to do in your life through this teaching.
Share the Message—Transformation Begins with an Invitation
If this message blesses you in any way—if even one part of it resonates with you—please share it with someone. Transformation starts with an invitation. You never know how one shared word could introduce someone to Jesus and completely change their life.
So grab your Bible, notebook, smartphone—whatever you need—and get ready. We’ve been in this powerful series for five weeks now, and it’s one you’ll want to revisit. The entire purpose of this series is to help you put an end to distractions that are keeping you from God’s calling.
Are You Truly Listening to What God is Saying?
I’ve had conversations with people who think they’ve been around God long enough to assume this message isn’t for them. They say, “This series is great for people who are struggling with distractions.” But here’s the truth—pride can make you spiritually deaf to what God is speaking into your life.
Before we dive into this message, don’t let pride keep you from hearing God. This is not about someone else’s distractions—it’s about yours. The distractions that have become so familiar that you no longer recognize them as obstacles to your purpose.
Think about it: Are there things in your life that you’ve accepted as part of who you are, but in reality, they are keeping you from stepping fully into your calling? It’s time to wake up. It’s time to focus.
Focus on What God Has Called You to Do
Focus on God.
Focus on Jesus.
Focus on His Word.
Focus on the instructions He gave you.
Everything else should come second.
It’s simple—but powerful. What happened to the things God told you to do? Just a few weeks ago, during those 21 days of prayer and fasting, you were clear on your calling. But now, three weeks later, have you already undone everything God spoke to you?
How did you go from knowing exactly what God called you to do—to questioning whether He even hears you? This isn’t just about you—it’s happening to so many people. Someone starts strong in their faith, then six months later, they look completely different. How does that happen?
It’s a loss of focus. Or even worse—a distorted perspective.
When Distraction Becomes Your Perspective
Some of us have lost focus for so long that it’s no longer just a distraction—it has become our perspective. Instead of actively trying to refocus, we’ve accepted a mindset of defeat:
- “People will always do me wrong.”
- “Nothing ever works out for me.”
- “I’ll never succeed.”
Why? Because we never took the time to heal that one broken relationship. We never truly forgave. We never sought the counseling we needed. And now, instead of recognizing that God is calling us to refocus, we assume that life will always be this way.
But today, God is calling you back.
It’s time to shift your perspective.
It’s time to silence the distractions.
It’s time to focus on what God has called you to do.
