"God, we’re not just asking You to clear the cobwebs—we’re asking You to kill the spider.” 🔥
In this raw and powerful message from Pastor Jeremy Mayol at Spiritual Emphasis, we confront the deep-rooted idols that quietly steal our devotion, disrupt our purpose, and pull us back into captivity. With passion, humor, and a convicting biblical foundation, Pastor Jeremy exposes the lies we believe and the illusions we cling to—then points us back to Jesus, the only One worthy of our full surrender.
“We make the devil’s job too easy.”
“If you can’t go 24 hours without it, it might be an idol.”
“Whatever idol you're clinging to—it's promising a lot, but delivering nothing.”
“What we idolize, we often end up demonizing.”
“Teen Challenge hasn’t invested this much in you just for you to go back.”
“God doesn’t want 98%. The 2% you hold back is all the enemy needs.”
“Don’t just cut the weeds. Pull them out by the root.”
“Idols survive in the shadows, but they die in the light.”
“This isn’t about cobwebs. It’s time to kill the spider.”
“You don’t even have a plan for what you’re holding on to—but God does.”
🕸️ Whether it's addiction, identity, pride, or isolation, this message calls each of us to lay it all down and walk fully in the light of Christ. Pastor Jeremy challenges us not to be content with emotional highs, but to build spiritual endurance by killing what’s killing us.

💭 Reflection Prompt: What idol is your clenched fist still holding onto? Is it time to open your hand and release it to Jesus?
🙏 Take action: Let this moment be more than an emotional experience—make it a turning point. Don’t settle for surface-level change. Let the Holy Spirit uproot what doesn’t belong, and allow Jesus to have 100% of your life.
