  • 00:00:08.188 --> 00:00:10.390
  • Creflo dollar: what is it like?
  • 00:00:11.424 --> 00:00:12.759
  • What is life like when you're living it from a
  • 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:17.297
  • Sin consciousness?
  • 00:00:17.297 --> 00:00:18.631
  • You're free from a sin consciousness.
  • 00:00:18.631 --> 00:00:20.400
  • He says you can't serve the living god with a
  • 00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:23.736
  • Sin conscience.
  • 00:00:23.736 --> 00:00:25.071
  • That's why he gave himself so you can be free of a
  • 00:00:25.071 --> 00:00:27.407
  • Sin conscious.
  • 00:00:27.407 --> 00:00:28.741
  • Now a sin-conscious person who is so aware of sin will always
  • 00:00:28.741 --> 00:00:32.212
  • Convince himself that you have to do this in order for god to
  • 00:00:32.212 --> 00:00:35.415
  • Do that.
  • 00:00:35.415 --> 00:00:36.749

  • Creflo: go to hebrews chapter 9 verse 14 in the king james.
  • 00:01:49.322 --> 00:01:53.960
  • Instead of trusting in christ with righteousness, a sin
  • 00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:58.531
  • Consciousness believer may try to perform their way into
  • 00:01:58.531 --> 00:02:02.669
  • God's favor.
  • 00:02:02.669 --> 00:02:04.204
  • Okay, so here's what this looks like.
  • 00:02:04.204 --> 00:02:06.039
  • Because you're sin conscious, when we look at the things
  • 00:02:06.039 --> 00:02:10.643
  • You're doing, you're doing it to try to get something good
  • 00:02:10.643 --> 00:02:15.582
  • From god.
  • 00:02:15.582 --> 00:02:17.650
  • And that's called dead works.
  • 00:02:17.650 --> 00:02:20.420
  • Dead works it involves you doing something good to try to get
  • 00:02:20.420 --> 00:02:24.991
  • Something good from god.
  • 00:02:24.991 --> 00:02:26.359
  • Dead works are--see, people think, well, i gotta do
  • 00:02:26.359 --> 00:02:31.731
  • Something good in order to get something good from god.
  • 00:02:31.731 --> 00:02:35.501
  • But god is not good to us because you did something good.
  • 00:02:35.501 --> 00:02:38.371
  • God is good to us because god is good.
  • 00:02:38.371 --> 00:02:43.276
  • And you have to accept that and receive that.
  • 00:02:43.276 --> 00:02:46.512
  • Now let me look--let me show you the scripture in verse 14.
  • 00:02:46.512 --> 00:02:48.481
  • He says, "how much more shall the blood of christ, who through
  • 00:02:48.481 --> 00:02:51.851
  • The eternal spirit offered himself," jesus offered himself
  • 00:02:51.851 --> 00:02:57.023
  • As a sacrifice, "without spot to god," but notice what the
  • 00:02:57.023 --> 00:03:01.060
  • Offering of jesus was supposed to do.
  • 00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:03.296
  • It was supposed to purge your conscience from doing
  • 00:03:03.296 --> 00:03:08.601
  • Dead works.
  • 00:03:08.601 --> 00:03:11.137
  • So in our conscious mind, church and religion has said you got to
  • 00:03:11.137 --> 00:03:16.175
  • Do this in order to get that.
  • 00:03:16.175 --> 00:03:18.845
  • Dead works.
  • 00:03:18.845 --> 00:03:20.179
  • You got to be like this in order for god to be like that to you.
  • 00:03:20.179 --> 00:03:24.150
  • Dead works.
  • 00:03:24.150 --> 00:03:25.852
  • And we treated a relationship with god as something
  • 00:03:25.852 --> 00:03:32.392
  • That's transactional.
  • 00:03:32.392 --> 00:03:35.428
  • So we thought in order to get the transaction to take place,
  • 00:03:35.428 --> 00:03:40.533
  • We have to do this in order for the transaction to do what it's
  • 00:03:40.533 --> 00:03:44.370
  • Supposed to do.
  • 00:03:44.370 --> 00:03:46.139
  • And we justified it with scripture.
  • 00:03:46.139 --> 00:03:49.909
  • But notice what it says.
  • 00:03:49.909 --> 00:03:51.844
  • That the sacrifice of jesus was supposed to purge your
  • 00:03:51.844 --> 00:03:54.781
  • Conscience from dead works to what?
  • 00:03:54.781 --> 00:03:56.916
  • "to serve the living god."
  • 00:03:56.916 --> 00:04:00.286
  • Now, what is he saying?
  • 00:04:00.286 --> 00:04:01.621
  • You can't serve god with that performance-based mindset.
  • 00:04:01.621 --> 00:04:06.092
  • You can't serve god with that dead work's mindset.
  • 00:04:06.092 --> 00:04:11.898
  • Instead of you receiving the gift of salvation freely, you
  • 00:04:11.898 --> 00:04:16.569
  • Keep feeling and believing that you have to do these things in
  • 00:04:16.569 --> 00:04:21.140
  • Order for god to do these things.
  • 00:04:21.140 --> 00:04:23.009
  • Let's examine this in the mirror translation just for a moment.
  • 00:04:26.412 --> 00:04:30.450
  • I want you to look at something here.
  • 00:04:30.450 --> 00:04:32.318
  • Ready?
  • 00:04:35.588 --> 00:04:37.557
  • "how much more effective was the blood of christ, when he
  • 00:04:37.557 --> 00:04:44.063
  • Presented his own flawless life," he's a
  • 00:04:44.063 --> 00:04:48.000
  • Sacrifice, flawless.
  • 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.670
  • "through the eternal spirit before god," watch this.
  • 00:04:50.670 --> 00:04:54.540
  • "in order to purge your conscience from its
  • 00:04:54.540 --> 00:04:58.644
  • Frustration," to purge your conscious from the frustration,
  • 00:04:58.644 --> 00:05:03.750
  • "under the cul-de-sac rituals of the law."
  • 00:05:03.750 --> 00:05:08.421
  • So he presented himself to purge your conscience.
  • 00:05:08.421 --> 00:05:13.292
  • He delivered you from sin, he forgave you once and for all to
  • 00:05:13.292 --> 00:05:18.564
  • Purge yourself from sin conscious.
  • 00:05:18.564 --> 00:05:22.635
  • He said, "there is no comparison between a guilt and duty-driven
  • 00:05:22.635 --> 00:05:28.441
  • Dead religious system," that's what we were under.
  • 00:05:28.441 --> 00:05:32.712
  • We were under a guilt, duty driven, ritualistic
  • 00:05:32.712 --> 00:05:37.083
  • Religion system.
  • 00:05:37.083 --> 00:05:40.153
  • He said, "and the vibrancy of living your life free from
  • 00:05:40.153 --> 00:05:48.294
  • A sin-consciousness."
  • 00:05:48.294 --> 00:05:51.764
  • What is it like?
  • 00:05:51.764 --> 00:05:53.099
  • What is life like when you're living it from a
  • 00:05:53.099 --> 00:05:57.637
  • Sin consciousness?
  • 00:05:57.637 --> 00:05:58.971
  • You're free from a sin consciousness.
  • 00:05:58.971 --> 00:06:00.740
  • He says you can't serve the living god with a
  • 00:06:00.740 --> 00:06:04.076
  • Sin conscience.
  • 00:06:04.076 --> 00:06:05.411
  • That's why he gave himself so you can be free of a
  • 00:06:05.411 --> 00:06:07.747
  • Sin conscious.
  • 00:06:07.747 --> 00:06:09.081
  • Now a sin-conscious person who is so aware of sin will always
  • 00:06:09.081 --> 00:06:12.552
  • Convince himself that you have to do this in order for god to
  • 00:06:12.552 --> 00:06:15.755
  • Do that.
  • 00:06:15.755 --> 00:06:17.089
  • That's rooted in sin consciousness.
  • 00:06:17.089 --> 00:06:19.492
  • That's rooted in the sin consciousness.
  • 00:06:19.492 --> 00:06:21.961
  • If all the time you think, well i got to do this in order to do
  • 00:06:21.961 --> 00:06:25.498
  • That is sin consciousness.
  • 00:06:25.498 --> 00:06:27.300
  • And we really did that where giving was concerned, that god
  • 00:06:27.300 --> 00:06:31.003
  • Wasn't gonna do nothing for you because you ain't gave no money.
  • 00:06:31.003 --> 00:06:35.675
  • Well he's already done everything for you.
  • 00:06:35.675 --> 00:06:38.945
  • It's just generosity is gonna reap generosity.
  • 00:06:38.945 --> 00:06:41.647
  • Generosity is gonna reap abundance, but that doesn't
  • 00:06:41.647 --> 00:06:44.450
  • Disqualify you from the grace that god has already given you.
  • 00:06:44.450 --> 00:06:49.722
  • It doesn't work like that.
  • 00:06:49.722 --> 00:06:51.090
  • That's dead works that comes from a sin consciousness when we
  • 00:06:51.090 --> 00:06:57.997
  • Should be free from the sin consciousness because the
  • 00:06:57.997 --> 00:07:02.301
  • Sacrifice was flawless.
  • 00:07:02.301 --> 00:07:06.172
  • You listen to what i'm saying.
  • 00:07:06.172 --> 00:07:08.040
  • He says this is what the new testament priesthood is
  • 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.611
  • All about.
  • 00:07:11.611 --> 00:07:12.945
  • The new testament priesthood is all about innocence
  • 00:07:12.945 --> 00:07:16.449
  • Consciousness and not sin consciousness.
  • 00:07:16.449 --> 00:07:20.720
  • But as long as you convince yourself by seminarians who
  • 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:25.892
  • Studied the bible.
  • 00:07:25.892 --> 00:07:27.593
  • God said this to me, he says, "you gotta be careful about
  • 00:07:27.593 --> 00:07:30.930
  • Turning the bible into a textbook because i'm bigger than
  • 00:07:30.930 --> 00:07:34.967
  • The book."
  • 00:07:34.967 --> 00:07:37.670
  • He finally finished that statement for me.
  • 00:07:37.670 --> 00:07:40.439
  • He said, "i'm bigger than the book."
  • 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.408
  • And if you're only judging me by the book that you think contains
  • 00:07:42.408 --> 00:07:47.680
  • Everything about me, you're gonna miss out on some stuff
  • 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:52.351
  • Because i'm bigger than your book.
  • 00:07:52.351 --> 00:07:54.820
  • I'm bigger than the old and the new.
  • 00:07:54.820 --> 00:07:56.889
  • I'm bigger than whatever the sermons are.
  • 00:07:56.889 --> 00:07:59.492
  • I'm bigger than all of that.
  • 00:07:59.492 --> 00:08:01.193
  • How high, how deep, how wise and i gave it the holy ghost to
  • 00:08:01.193 --> 00:08:06.966
  • Escort you and navigate.
  • 00:08:06.966 --> 00:08:10.870
  • Oh, to navigate you through the word so you can see all the in
  • 00:08:10.870 --> 00:08:15.474
  • Between [speaking in tongues].
  • 00:08:15.474 --> 00:08:22.048
  • You can't live this new life of grace without a relationship
  • 00:08:23.449 --> 00:08:29.855
  • With the holy spirit.
  • 00:08:29.855 --> 00:08:35.094
  • The holy ghost said something to me.
  • 00:08:38.864 --> 00:08:42.368
  • I saw this.
  • 00:08:42.368 --> 00:08:45.705
  • Well, i don't know where taffi is.
  • 00:08:45.705 --> 00:08:47.039
  • She can hear me, and you'll know what i'm saying.
  • 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:53.279
  • You ever needed to talk to somebody but you were afraid to
  • 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:57.216
  • Talk to 'em?
  • 00:08:57.216 --> 00:08:58.818
  • Here's what i heard this morning.
  • 00:08:58.818 --> 00:09:02.154
  • Your fear of having that conversation will control
  • 00:09:02.154 --> 00:09:06.425
  • Your life.
  • 00:09:06.425 --> 00:09:11.364
  • Your fear of doing anything.
  • 00:09:15.001 --> 00:09:18.738
  • Let me put it like this, don't let fear control your life.
  • 00:09:18.738 --> 00:09:24.844
  • Now identify the fear that you have.
  • 00:09:24.844 --> 00:09:28.414
  • If you are paralyzed by that fear, that fear is
  • 00:09:28.414 --> 00:09:32.985
  • Controlling you.
  • 00:09:32.985 --> 00:09:37.256
  • What fears controlling your life?
  • 00:09:37.256 --> 00:09:39.792
  • If you are paralyzed by that fear, it's controlling you.
  • 00:09:39.792 --> 00:09:45.831
  • If you're paralyzed by that hate and bitterness, it's
  • 00:09:45.831 --> 00:09:48.868
  • Controlling you.
  • 00:09:48.868 --> 00:09:52.438
  • What's the unforgiveness that's still in your heart that you
  • 00:09:52.438 --> 00:09:55.241
  • Hadn't dealt with is controlling you.
  • 00:09:55.241 --> 00:09:59.879
  • The trauma that somebody caused you that you hadn't turned over
  • 00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:03.382
  • To god for him to heal you of it, the trauma is still
  • 00:10:03.382 --> 00:10:05.885
  • Controlling you.
  • 00:10:05.885 --> 00:10:08.120
  • I'm not gonna let nothing control me.
  • 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.289
  • And there were lots of things trying to control me and life
  • 00:10:10.289 --> 00:10:14.360
  • Was miserable until i decided, you don't get to control me
  • 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:20.633
  • No more.
  • 00:10:20.633 --> 00:10:23.335
  • And you know what?
  • 00:10:23.335 --> 00:10:24.670
  • That means if i got to do it afraid, i'm gonna do it.
  • 00:10:24.670 --> 00:10:28.641
  • You know what i mean, afraid?
  • 00:10:28.641 --> 00:10:30.276
  • That my heart might still be beating fast, but i'm gonna do
  • 00:10:30.276 --> 00:10:32.545
  • It anyway.
  • 00:10:32.545 --> 00:10:33.913
  • That's how courage is developed.
  • 00:10:33.913 --> 00:10:37.683
  • I ain't say do nothing foolish, but the holy ghost is there to
  • 00:10:37.683 --> 00:10:40.653
  • Help you.
  • 00:10:40.653 --> 00:10:41.987
  • Let me tell you something, when you start doing things
  • 00:10:41.987 --> 00:10:43.355
  • By the law, you have endless questions.
  • 00:10:43.355 --> 00:10:47.093
  • You start getting by the law.
  • 00:10:47.093 --> 00:10:48.427
  • Well, do i have to give my gross or my net?
  • 00:10:48.427 --> 00:10:52.531
  • What about the tax return?
  • 00:10:52.531 --> 00:10:53.866
  • If i get a tax return, then do i have to give 10% of the
  • 00:10:53.866 --> 00:10:57.803
  • Tax return?
  • 00:10:57.803 --> 00:10:59.205
  • What if somebody gave me $50,000?
  • 00:10:59.205 --> 00:11:01.674
  • Do i got to get a whole $50,000 away because that's the first
  • 00:11:01.674 --> 00:11:04.310
  • Fruit that thing ain't never happened before.
  • 00:11:04.310 --> 00:11:06.345
  • It's crazy questions, endless questions that go on and all the
  • 00:11:06.345 --> 00:11:09.515
  • Law does is produce, watch this, questioning.
  • 00:11:09.515 --> 00:11:16.088
  • But when you're giving out of your heart, it's real simple
  • 00:11:16.088 --> 00:11:18.290
  • Just give out of your heart.
  • 00:11:18.290 --> 00:11:21.460
  • When you start doing things out of your heart, you start doing
  • 00:11:21.460 --> 00:11:23.562
  • Things out of your heart.
  • 00:11:23.562 --> 00:11:24.930
  • And here's the truth, church people still want rules.
  • 00:11:24.930 --> 00:11:30.002
  • I'm talking about the liberty that comes with knowing the holy
  • 00:11:34.206 --> 00:11:36.742
  • Spirit and you want a rule.
  • 00:11:36.742 --> 00:11:39.178
  • Does god mind if you drink wine?
  • 00:11:39.178 --> 00:11:42.214
  • And you have a relationship with the one who turned water to
  • 00:11:42.214 --> 00:11:45.518
  • Wine, and you won't even ask him.
  • 00:11:45.518 --> 00:11:48.320
  • 'cause you wanna live by the very thing that god set you
  • 00:11:52.491 --> 00:11:57.196
  • Free from.
  • 00:11:57.196 --> 00:11:58.531
  • Why?
  • 00:11:58.531 --> 00:11:59.899
  • 'cause you think it's easier to live by written rules than to
  • 00:11:59.899 --> 00:12:02.401
  • Live by an everyday relationship with the holy spirit.
  • 00:12:02.401 --> 00:12:08.407
  • Imagine what he can do.
  • 00:12:08.407 --> 00:12:10.409
  • While everybody else sees these times that we're going through
  • 00:12:10.409 --> 00:12:13.279
  • As hard times, the holy spirit says, no, this is opportunity.
  • 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.515
  • 'cause what they're not getting from another country, you need
  • 00:12:20.085 --> 00:12:23.222
  • To start the business to make sure they can get it from you
  • 00:12:23.222 --> 00:12:26.425
  • While you do business.
  • 00:12:26.425 --> 00:12:29.528
  • Rick, some of these people looking at me like what the--.
  • 00:12:33.699 --> 00:12:37.703
  • Amen.
  • 00:12:40.973 --> 00:12:43.542
  • The new testament priesthood is all about
  • 00:12:43.542 --> 00:12:46.078
  • Innocence consciousness.
  • 00:12:46.078 --> 00:12:48.681
  • All right, now, number what is this?
  • 00:12:48.681 --> 00:12:55.788
  • Five, sin consciousness weakens faith.
  • 00:12:55.788 --> 00:13:03.863
  • Sin consciousness weakens faith.
  • 00:13:03.863 --> 00:13:07.633
  • What happens when you're sin conscious?
  • 00:13:07.633 --> 00:13:10.302
  • Constant guilt makes it hard to fully believe and receive god's
  • 00:13:10.302 --> 00:13:13.806
  • Blessings because you feel undeserving.
  • 00:13:13.806 --> 00:13:18.410
  • You're still dealing with shame.
  • 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:23.649
  • I'm trying to receive what god's done, but i'm full of shame.
  • 00:13:23.649 --> 00:13:27.553
  • I'm full of condemnation.
  • 00:13:27.553 --> 00:13:31.423
  • I just, i'm so full of guilt.
  • 00:13:31.423 --> 00:13:34.793
  • And sin consciousness will have you to focus and become more
  • 00:13:34.793 --> 00:13:38.130
  • Aware of the shame and the guilt and the condemnation that you
  • 00:13:38.130 --> 00:13:42.001
  • Are now less aware of the innocence that you have in
  • 00:13:42.001 --> 00:13:46.071
  • Jesus christ.
  • 00:13:46.071 --> 00:13:47.973
  • It weakens your faith.
  • 00:13:51.510 --> 00:13:55.047
  • Look at 1 john chapter 3, verse 21, verse 20 and 21 in the nlt.
  • 00:13:55.047 --> 00:14:02.421
  • Watch this. watch this.
  • 00:14:02.421 --> 00:14:07.693
  • "even if we feel guilty, god is greater than our feelings."
  • 00:14:07.693 --> 00:14:13.999
  • How many of you know god's greater than your feelings?
  • 00:14:13.999 --> 00:14:19.305
  • Sometimes we try to use our feelings to ignore what god said
  • 00:14:19.305 --> 00:14:22.708
  • About the thing, but god's greater than our feelings and
  • 00:14:22.708 --> 00:14:24.710
  • Even when you feel guilty is greater than our feelings.
  • 00:14:24.710 --> 00:14:27.780
  • He knows everything.
  • 00:14:27.780 --> 00:14:29.748
  • Now it used to bother me when i read that that god
  • 00:14:29.748 --> 00:14:31.550
  • Knows everything.
  • 00:14:31.550 --> 00:14:32.885
  • I'm like, oh lord.
  • 00:14:32.885 --> 00:14:34.520
  • Everything?
  • 00:14:34.520 --> 00:14:36.088
  • Yeah, he knows everything.
  • 00:14:36.088 --> 00:14:37.423
  • God knows everything.
  • 00:14:37.423 --> 00:14:38.791
  • Here's the awesomeness about god knowing everything.
  • 00:14:38.791 --> 00:14:41.860
  • So when anything's going on with you, the god who knows
  • 00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:44.997
  • Everything about you knows the solution to what you're going
  • 00:14:44.997 --> 00:14:48.033
  • Through because he knows everything.
  • 00:14:48.033 --> 00:14:50.869
  • It's not like when you're in therapy, you choose to hold back
  • 00:14:50.869 --> 00:14:53.172
  • Some stuff or tell some stuff and the therapist is trying to
  • 00:14:53.172 --> 00:14:56.208
  • Really help you out, but you're not telling the whole thing and
  • 00:14:56.208 --> 00:14:58.844
  • It takes nine sessions before you really come to the truth of
  • 00:14:58.844 --> 00:15:01.313
  • What they kind of figured out.
  • 00:15:01.313 --> 00:15:02.948
  • God already know everything and he's greater than your feelings.
  • 00:15:02.948 --> 00:15:08.520
  • Thank you god for knowing everything.
  • 00:15:08.520 --> 00:15:10.522
  • Now watch this next verse.
  • 00:15:14.126 --> 00:15:15.995
  • "dear friends, if we don't feel guilty, we can come to god with
  • 00:15:15.995 --> 00:15:21.433
  • Bold confidence."
  • 00:15:21.433 --> 00:15:23.302
  • Look what happens.
  • 00:15:23.302 --> 00:15:25.404
  • When you accept your deliverance from guilt.
  • 00:15:25.404 --> 00:15:29.308
  • You continue to come to god boldly when you need healing.
  • 00:15:29.308 --> 00:15:33.412
  • You continue to come to god boldly when you need provisions.
  • 00:15:33.412 --> 00:15:36.582
  • You continue to come to god bold and you're not coming and asking
  • 00:15:36.582 --> 00:15:39.284
  • Him for it.
  • 00:15:39.284 --> 00:15:40.619
  • You're coming to him like i have a right to this.
  • 00:15:40.619 --> 00:15:44.089
  • I have a right to be healed.
  • 00:15:44.089 --> 00:15:45.858
  • I have a right to live a long life.
  • 00:15:45.858 --> 00:15:48.093
  • I have a right to have my bills paid.
  • 00:15:48.093 --> 00:15:50.496
  • I have a right not to be depressed or oppressed, but i
  • 00:15:50.496 --> 00:15:54.800
  • Have a right to this.
  • 00:15:54.800 --> 00:15:56.602
  • This is my god.
  • 00:15:56.602 --> 00:15:58.537
  • I have a right to this.
  • 00:15:58.537 --> 00:16:00.339
  • No, i'm not gonna walk around feeling guilty, well, i
  • 00:16:00.339 --> 00:16:02.241
  • Deserve this.
  • 00:16:02.241 --> 00:16:04.209
  • Well, i shouldn't have did that.
  • 00:16:04.209 --> 00:16:06.545
  • My bad.
  • 00:16:06.545 --> 00:16:07.913
  • Now god like, i knew you before you recognized who i was.
  • 00:16:11.116 --> 00:16:18.090
  • You have a right to everything.
  • 00:16:18.090 --> 00:16:20.225
  • He says, i gave you my son, is there anything i will withhold
  • 00:16:20.225 --> 00:16:24.897
  • From you?
  • 00:16:24.897 --> 00:16:26.231
  • I gave you the most expensive thing heaven had.
  • 00:16:26.231 --> 00:16:30.502
  • Will i not give you anything else?
  • 00:16:30.502 --> 00:16:32.071
  • You know what god is saying?
  • 00:16:32.071 --> 00:16:33.405
  • Everything concerning us is taken care of.
  • 00:16:33.405 --> 00:16:36.375
  • I just need you to recognize it and with bold confidence,
  • 00:16:36.375 --> 00:16:40.612
  • Take it.
  • 00:16:40.612 --> 00:16:42.281
  • Say this out loud, "i live in the realm of the finished, of
  • 00:16:42.281 --> 00:16:47.519
  • The completed, of the done, that can't be undone."
  • 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:57.463
  • So the issue here is grace-based mindset.
  • 00:17:01.300 --> 00:17:08.907
  • Not just this, i don't know what kind of mindset people have, but
  • 00:17:12.211 --> 00:17:15.781
  • I know it needs to be a grace-based mindset.
  • 00:17:15.781 --> 00:17:19.551
  • Look at romans 6 and 11 in the king james and the mirror.
  • 00:17:19.551 --> 00:17:24.890
  • Instead of sin consciousness, we should walk in righteousness
  • 00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:27.726
  • Consciousness, seeing ourselves as god sees us, completely
  • 00:17:27.726 --> 00:17:31.930
  • Forgiven and made new in christ.
  • 00:17:31.930 --> 00:17:34.666
  • That's how god sees you.
  • 00:17:34.666 --> 00:17:36.001
  • God sees you completely forgiven and he sees your newness
  • 00:17:36.001 --> 00:17:39.605
  • In christ.
  • 00:17:39.605 --> 00:17:40.973
  • That's how god sees you.
  • 00:17:40.973 --> 00:17:42.307
  • When god sees you, he sees you completely forgiven.
  • 00:17:42.307 --> 00:17:44.810
  • That's how he sees, that's why he sees you, that's why jesus
  • 00:17:44.810 --> 00:17:48.080
  • When he sees you, because everything you have, you have
  • 00:17:48.080 --> 00:17:51.283
  • Because of jesus and he's not looking at you as someone
  • 00:17:51.283 --> 00:17:54.286
  • Separate from jesus.
  • 00:17:54.286 --> 00:17:56.121
  • That's strong.
  • 00:17:56.121 --> 00:17:59.458
  • Look at this.
  • 00:17:59.458 --> 00:18:00.792
  • "likewise reckon you also yourselves to be dead indeed" to
  • 00:18:00.792 --> 00:18:04.563
  • That sin man, that sin nature, "sin."
  • 00:18:04.563 --> 00:18:08.767
  • You are dead to that sin nature.
  • 00:18:08.767 --> 00:18:11.203
  • But you are alive under god through jesus christ our lord.
  • 00:18:11.203 --> 00:18:16.308
  • Dead to the sin, alive unto god.
  • 00:18:16.308 --> 00:18:20.112
  • Now, look at this in the what i say mirror.
  • 00:18:20.112 --> 00:18:24.950
  • "this reasoning is equally relevant to you.
  • 00:18:24.950 --> 00:18:28.453
  • Calculate the cross; there can only be one logical conclusion,"
  • 00:18:28.453 --> 00:18:35.394
  • When you do this, "he died your death; that means you died to
  • 00:18:35.394 --> 00:18:42.034
  • Sin, and you are now alive to god.
  • 00:18:42.034 --> 00:18:48.140
  • Sin-consciousness can never again feature in your future."
  • 00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:55.314
  • Y'all don't even understand what i'm saying, you know.
  • 00:18:55.314 --> 00:19:01.186
  • Sin consciousness is not gonna be starring in your journey.
  • 00:19:01.186 --> 00:19:06.491
  • Sin consciousness is not gonna be featured in your journey, in
  • 00:19:06.491 --> 00:19:10.495
  • Your future.
  • 00:19:10.495 --> 00:19:14.366
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:19:14.366 --> 00:19:15.701
  • He wasn't cast to be in your future, hallelujah.
  • 00:19:15.701 --> 00:19:19.071
  • Sin consciousness can never again feature in your future.
  • 00:19:19.071 --> 00:19:22.741
  • So this is done already.
  • 00:19:22.741 --> 00:19:25.244
  • Well, why is it not done in every christian's life?
  • 00:19:25.244 --> 00:19:27.312
  • They have not come to the place of realizing it.
  • 00:19:27.312 --> 00:19:29.514
  • They did not come to the place of recognizing it.
  • 00:19:29.514 --> 00:19:32.651
  • They hadn't come to the place of receiving it.
  • 00:19:32.651 --> 00:19:34.920
  • They haven't come to the place of resting in their freedom from
  • 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:38.690
  • Sin conscience.
  • 00:19:38.690 --> 00:19:40.025
  • He says, "you are in christ jesus; his lordship is the
  • 00:19:40.025 --> 00:19:43.362
  • Authority of this union."
  • 00:19:43.362 --> 00:19:45.864
  • Between you and christ jesus.
  • 00:19:45.864 --> 00:19:47.599
  • We haven't come to recognize it.
  • 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:51.670
  • One of the things that i'm doing, i get up in my mind, i
  • 00:19:51.670 --> 00:19:56.241
  • Think i'm the righteousness of god, i belong to jesus christ.
  • 00:19:56.241 --> 00:19:59.244
  • Jesus is what god thinks about me, and i am no longer sin
  • 00:19:59.244 --> 00:20:02.981
  • Conscious, i am righteousness conscious.
  • 00:20:02.981 --> 00:20:04.650
  • I am innocent.
  • 00:20:04.650 --> 00:20:06.418
  • I am everything i need to be in christ jesus.
  • 00:20:06.418 --> 00:20:11.556
  • That bothers the devil more than two hours of praying in tongues.
  • 00:20:11.556 --> 00:20:14.960
  • You know why?
  • 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:16.361
  • Because you are accepting every day of your life, your identity
  • 00:20:16.361 --> 00:20:19.931
  • In christ.
  • 00:20:19.931 --> 00:20:22.934
  • So here's what i saw.
  • 00:20:22.934 --> 00:20:24.269
  • I saw by me saying that.
  • 00:20:24.269 --> 00:20:27.205
  • With my mouth, my mouth, i'm now thinking it, all right, in my
  • 00:20:27.205 --> 00:20:32.477
  • Head and i'm now receiving it in my heart.
  • 00:20:32.477 --> 00:20:37.015
  • You do the same thing with sin.
  • 00:20:37.015 --> 00:20:38.417
  • You do the same thing with a whole bunch of other stuff.
  • 00:20:38.417 --> 00:20:40.652
  • You say it, you think it, it gets into your heart, and now
  • 00:20:40.652 --> 00:20:44.389
  • It's a part of you.
