The Hidden Danger of Living in the Past | Idolatry of Past Experiences by Ps. Wayman Mitchell (1976)

Are you living on what God did years ago—or experiencing Him now?
In this vintage message from February 11, 1976, Pastor Wayman Mitchell warns that even genuine spiritual victories can become idols when we turn them into monuments and stop moving forward with God.
Preaching from Hebrews 2:1–9, Mitchell draws lessons from the bronze serpent, Abraham’s encounter with El Olam—the everlasting God—and Elisha’s cry at the Jordan: “Where is the God of Elijah?”
God is not only the God of yesterday. He is the everlasting God who is working today.
