**SUMMARY**
In this podcast episode titled "Idol Worship is a Hinderance to Prayer," Dr. Karen Proctor discusses how idol worship can hinder one's prayers and relationship with God (2:14).

She defines idol worship by referencing Exodus 20:4-5 (2:58), which prohibits making and serving graven images. She explains that people can make idols out of various things, including:
• Statues: Such as those of Mary or saints in Catholicism, or figures like the Buddhist fat statue (4:57-6:08).
• Objects: Poles, trees, prayer beads, crystals, libations, and even food offerings (6:31-6:56).
• Ancestors or Possessions: Cars, finances, physical appearance, jobs, homes, and worldly goods (6:57-7:25).
• People: Including children, spouses, or even preachers and spiritual leaders (7:29-7:47, 19:25-20:00).

Dr. Proctor emphasizes that God hates idolatry and that worshiping creation instead of the Creator is a sin (8:31-8:40). She further illustrates the futility of idols by quoting Psalms 115:4-8 (8:57), which describes idols as having mouths but not speaking, eyes but not seeing, and so on. She shares her personal experience of growing up near Santeria practitioners who offered food and water to idols, highlighting the
contrast with serving the true God who provides for humanity (10:41-11:14).

She asserts that idol worship hinders prayer and can lead to generational curses, as mentioned in Exodus 20:4-5 (11:43-13:37). Dr. Proctor urges listeners to repent and denounce idol worship (14:17-15:41), emphasizing that one cannot serve two masters (17:03-17:07). She encourages those who believe to confess Jesus as Lord (16:37-16:42) and stresses the importance of confessing faults to others for healing and restoration, referencing James 5:16 (21:55-22:27). She concludes by reiterating that the prayers of a righteous person have tremendous power, unlike the temporary false answers obtained through idolatry (25:00-25:10).
