  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.046
  • Male announcer: this program is brought to you, in part, by
  • 00:00:01.314 --> 00:00:03.416
  • The partners and friends of creflo dollar ministries.
  • 00:00:03.550 --> 00:00:04.517
  • Announcer: coming up next on "changing your world."
  • 00:00:07.887 --> 00:00:10.690
  • Creflo dollar: when you have paid all of your other
  • 00:00:11.858 --> 00:00:14.327
  • Debts, okay?
  • 00:00:14.327 --> 00:00:15.829
  • When you've paid off your taxes, when you've paid your customs,
  • 00:00:15.829 --> 00:00:19.466
  • Whatever else you may owe, there will still be one debt unpaid.
  • 00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:25.505
  • That is the universal debt of love.
  • 00:00:25.505 --> 00:00:30.810
  • Love must still remain the root and the spring of all of
  • 00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:36.316
  • Your actions.
  • 00:00:36.316 --> 00:00:37.784
  • You don't need another law.
  • 00:00:37.784 --> 00:00:39.385
  • There's no other law that's needed when you are paying
  • 00:00:39.385 --> 00:00:43.089
  • This debt of love.
  • 00:00:43.089 --> 00:00:45.191
  • And like i said, a few minutes ago, without grace, this debt
  • 00:00:45.191 --> 00:00:49.729
  • Of love owed to mankind, think of that.
  • 00:00:49.729 --> 00:00:52.832
  • You have, you owe mankind a debt of love.
  • 00:00:52.832 --> 00:00:56.803
  • And it's gonna take grace to be able to pay it.
  • 00:00:56.803 --> 00:00:59.973
  • Male announcer: as a christian, what happens after you sin?
  • 00:01:02.108 --> 00:01:04.711
  • Do you lose your righteousness?
  • 00:01:04.711 --> 00:01:06.479
  • God's gift of righteousness gives us peace with him,
  • 00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:09.883
  • Not through our works,
  • 00:01:09.883 --> 00:01:11.417
  • But through faith in jesus's finished work on the cross.
  • 00:01:11.417 --> 00:01:14.521

  • Creflo: we went home after the service last
  • 00:02:09.475 --> 00:02:11.144
  • Sunday, sat in our closet and the lord came and spoke to us
  • 00:02:11.144 --> 00:02:16.549
  • And said, now look at this through the eyes of grace.
  • 00:02:16.549 --> 00:02:23.323
  • Don't approach it like you did several years ago.
  • 00:02:23.323 --> 00:02:27.327
  • And he said, don't go pick up your book on it.
  • 00:02:27.327 --> 00:02:30.830
  • I'm doing something new.
  • 00:02:30.830 --> 00:02:36.836
  • Romans chapter 13 verse seven and eight, first in the king,
  • 00:02:36.836 --> 00:02:41.241
  • New king, in the king james.
  • 00:02:41.241 --> 00:02:42.742
  • And then we'll read it in the nlt.
  • 00:02:42.742 --> 00:02:44.644
  • Now i'm gonna go just really slow.
  • 00:02:44.644 --> 00:02:46.479
  • Make sure you are with me on this.
  • 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.282
  • Verse seven: he says, render therefore to all their dues:
  • 00:02:49.282 --> 00:02:55.588
  • Tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom is due.
  • 00:02:55.588 --> 00:03:00.493
  • Fear to whom fear, or reverence to whom reverence is due.
  • 00:03:00.493 --> 00:03:03.796
  • Honor to whom honor.
  • 00:03:03.796 --> 00:03:07.233
  • Owe no man anything but to love one another.
  • 00:03:07.233 --> 00:03:12.305
  • For he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
  • 00:03:12.305 --> 00:03:18.511
  • Now, in the new living translation, it reads like this,
  • 00:03:18.511 --> 00:03:21.314
  • Verse seven: "give to everyone what you owe them: pay your
  • 00:03:21.314 --> 00:03:27.420
  • Taxes and government fees to those who collect them.
  • 00:03:27.420 --> 00:03:34.160
  • Give respect and honor to those who are in authority.
  • 00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:39.065
  • Owe nothing to anyone except for your obligation to love
  • 00:03:39.065 --> 00:03:44.437
  • One another.
  • 00:03:44.437 --> 00:03:46.806
  • If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of
  • 00:03:46.806 --> 00:03:51.144
  • God's law."
  • 00:03:51.144 --> 00:03:53.846
  • This morning.
  • 00:03:53.846 --> 00:03:55.181
  • I wanna i wanna talk to you about the debt that delivers
  • 00:03:55.181 --> 00:04:01.187
  • From all debts.
  • 00:04:01.187 --> 00:04:05.892
  • The debt that delivers from all debt.
  • 00:04:05.892 --> 00:04:12.398
  • What does that mean?
  • 00:04:12.398 --> 00:04:13.733
  • Oh boy, we're gonna have a journey today.
  • 00:04:13.733 --> 00:04:17.070
  • First of all, debt is something old or something due.
  • 00:04:17.070 --> 00:04:25.545
  • Debt is not limited to financial debts.
  • 00:04:25.545 --> 00:04:30.950
  • You've heard in times in passing somebody might say you owe him
  • 00:04:30.950 --> 00:04:37.123
  • A debt of an apology, you know, you owe him, you owe him
  • 00:04:37.123 --> 00:04:42.729
  • An apology.
  • 00:04:42.729 --> 00:04:46.632
  • Or in colossians chapter two, in fact, turn there for a moment.
  • 00:04:46.632 --> 00:04:50.870
  • Colossians chapter 2:14 in the nsab and the esv, we're gonna
  • 00:04:50.870 --> 00:04:56.676
  • Read it out of both of those versions.
  • 00:04:56.676 --> 00:04:58.144
  • Colossians 2:14, the nsab.
  • 00:04:58.144 --> 00:05:03.316
  • He says this: "having canceled out the certificate of debt
  • 00:05:03.316 --> 00:05:11.357
  • Consisting of decrees against us--" referring to jesus,
  • 00:05:11.357 --> 00:05:16.729
  • "which was hostile to us.
  • 00:05:16.729 --> 00:05:19.165
  • And he has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to
  • 00:05:19.165 --> 00:05:24.937
  • The cross."
  • 00:05:24.937 --> 00:05:26.406
  • So there was a debt cancellation of our sins.
  • 00:05:26.406 --> 00:05:32.779
  • And the curse that would come on us because we couldn't keep the
  • 00:05:32.779 --> 00:05:36.215
  • Law and jesus, canceled out that certificate of debt.
  • 00:05:36.215 --> 00:05:43.556
  • May not have necessarily been finances.
  • 00:05:43.556 --> 00:05:45.658
  • But then there's another debt that's dealt with.
  • 00:05:45.658 --> 00:05:47.693
  • And then you read this in the esv version, he says: "by
  • 00:05:47.693 --> 00:05:53.599
  • Canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its
  • 00:05:53.599 --> 00:05:59.005
  • Legal demands.
  • 00:05:59.005 --> 00:06:01.407
  • This he set aside, nailing it to the cross."
  • 00:06:01.407 --> 00:06:07.513
  • Wow.
  • 00:06:07.513 --> 00:06:10.383
  • Now let's look at romans 13:7 and 8 again in the nlt.
  • 00:06:10.383 --> 00:06:17.890
  • And i'll begin this journey.
  • 00:06:17.890 --> 00:06:20.626
  • Romans 13 verse 7 and 8 in the nlt.
  • 00:06:20.626 --> 00:06:24.831
  • He says: "give to everyone who you owe them--
  • 00:06:24.831 --> 00:06:28.801
  • What you owe them."
  • 00:06:28.801 --> 00:06:30.903
  • So, yeah, there's this natural part of it.
  • 00:06:30.903 --> 00:06:33.840
  • "give to everyone what you owe them.
  • 00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:37.410
  • Pay your taxes," quit trying to, yeah, i ain't even got to say
  • 00:06:37.410 --> 00:06:44.150
  • It, you know, pay your taxes, pay the government fees and to
  • 00:06:44.150 --> 00:06:50.389
  • Those who collect them and give respect.
  • 00:06:50.389 --> 00:06:53.092
  • He says also you need to pay, you owe respect and honor to
  • 00:06:53.092 --> 00:06:58.364
  • Those who are in authority, whether you like them or not.
  • 00:06:58.364 --> 00:07:02.502
  • You owe respect and honor to those who are in authority.
  • 00:07:02.502 --> 00:07:07.473
  • I mean, so the guy that doesn't, if your guy doesn't win an
  • 00:07:07.473 --> 00:07:12.278
  • Election, you still owe honor and respect to the one who's
  • 00:07:12.278 --> 00:07:16.682
  • In authority.
  • 00:07:16.682 --> 00:07:18.518
  • Y'all don't hear what i'm saying.
  • 00:07:18.518 --> 00:07:19.852
  • But that's, that's all i'm gonna say about that.
  • 00:07:19.852 --> 00:07:23.589
  • Is it?
  • 00:07:23.589 --> 00:07:25.525
  • So now notice right here, verse 8, "owe nothing to anyone--"
  • 00:07:25.525 --> 00:07:34.166
  • Watch this, "except for your obligation to love one another.
  • 00:07:34.166 --> 00:07:40.773
  • Owe nothing to anyone except your obligation to love
  • 00:07:40.773 --> 00:07:44.043
  • One another."
  • 00:07:44.043 --> 00:07:45.411
  • If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of
  • 00:07:45.411 --> 00:07:48.447
  • God's law.
  • 00:07:48.447 --> 00:07:51.684
  • Now, in these verses, the apostle paul transitions from
  • 00:07:51.684 --> 00:07:57.590
  • Discussing what is owed to human authorities, including respect
  • 00:07:57.590 --> 00:08:03.696
  • And honor, and he transitions into what is owed to every
  • 00:08:03.696 --> 00:08:07.967
  • Human being.
  • 00:08:07.967 --> 00:08:10.670
  • He goes from what you owe human authorities, and he makes this
  • 00:08:10.670 --> 00:08:16.142
  • Switch and he starts talking about what is it that you
  • 00:08:16.142 --> 00:08:19.979
  • Owe everybody.
  • 00:08:19.979 --> 00:08:22.715
  • So there's a debt you have to every human, whether you like
  • 00:08:22.715 --> 00:08:26.485
  • 'em or not.
  • 00:08:26.485 --> 00:08:29.121
  • And somehow that debt is gonna be responsible for what happens
  • 00:08:29.121 --> 00:08:33.659
  • To the rest of your debts if you need some anointing to deal
  • 00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:36.195
  • With them.
  • 00:08:36.195 --> 00:08:37.563
  • Follow me carefully.
  • 00:08:37.563 --> 00:08:40.232
  • The command to owe no one anything should not necessarily
  • 00:08:40.232 --> 00:08:45.438
  • Be read as a command to christians never to borrow money
  • 00:08:45.438 --> 00:08:50.242
  • For any reason.
  • 00:08:50.242 --> 00:08:52.478
  • He says, don't read it like that.
  • 00:08:52.478 --> 00:08:53.846
  • This is not a command to christians never to borrow money
  • 00:08:53.846 --> 00:08:56.882
  • For any reason.
  • 00:08:56.882 --> 00:08:59.285
  • The sense--the sense that the greeks had is this, that when
  • 00:08:59.285 --> 00:09:05.157
  • They wrote this, that we should not let any debt
  • 00:09:05.157 --> 00:09:08.160
  • Remain outstanding.
  • 00:09:08.160 --> 00:09:10.963
  • That we should not keep on owing anyone for anything.
  • 00:09:10.963 --> 00:09:18.537
  • That can be understood as a requirement to always pay what
  • 00:09:18.537 --> 00:09:22.842
  • You owe in a timely manner according to whatever agreement
  • 00:09:22.842 --> 00:09:27.113
  • You have made with the lender.
  • 00:09:27.113 --> 00:09:30.916
  • Or put another way, he is saying, do not live your lives
  • 00:09:30.916 --> 00:09:37.657
  • In constant dependency, borrowing, and unreliability.
  • 00:09:37.657 --> 00:09:44.130
  • Don't live your life this way.
  • 00:09:44.130 --> 00:09:45.598
  • So yes, he is absolutely talking about some natural human things
  • 00:09:45.598 --> 00:09:50.002
  • Here on this planet and in our society.
  • 00:09:50.002 --> 00:09:54.707
  • But you know about context, the truth of the matter is paul is
  • 00:09:54.707 --> 00:10:02.148
  • Not primarily concerned with money here.
  • 00:10:02.148 --> 00:10:07.119
  • See, all the time i read romans 13 and 8, i read it thinking
  • 00:10:07.119 --> 00:10:12.892
  • That he was primarily concerned with your financial debt.
  • 00:10:12.892 --> 00:10:18.197
  • There is something here so much bigger than your financial debt.
  • 00:10:18.197 --> 00:10:23.969
  • There's a bigger, larger intent here.
  • 00:10:23.969 --> 00:10:27.773
  • And paul is not primarily concerned with the money here.
  • 00:10:27.773 --> 00:10:32.144
  • As the following verses will show, he wants to talk about
  • 00:10:32.144 --> 00:10:36.615
  • Obligation as jesus followers to love other people, including
  • 00:10:36.615 --> 00:10:43.422
  • Our neighbors.
  • 00:10:43.422 --> 00:10:45.257
  • If you get a hold of the context, what he is saying here,
  • 00:10:45.257 --> 00:10:48.060
  • I am more concerned about you who say you're born again, you
  • 00:10:48.060 --> 00:10:52.665
  • Who are followers of jesus christ.
  • 00:10:52.665 --> 00:10:54.767
  • I am more concerned about you loving others, including
  • 00:10:54.767 --> 00:10:59.972
  • Your neighbor.
  • 00:10:59.972 --> 00:11:01.307
  • He seems to say that loving others is a debt.
  • 00:11:01.307 --> 00:11:05.778
  • That loving others is a debt that we will never pay off.
  • 00:11:05.778 --> 00:11:11.550
  • Here's a debt that we'll never pay off because as long as
  • 00:11:11.550 --> 00:11:16.088
  • You're alive and as long as somebody else is alive,
  • 00:11:16.088 --> 00:11:19.492
  • You owe them.
  • 00:11:19.492 --> 00:11:20.826
  • Everybody becomes a creditor.
  • 00:11:20.826 --> 00:11:23.996
  • And you will owe them.
  • 00:11:23.996 --> 00:11:26.365
  • And we can't get past the love that we got with our family.
  • 00:11:26.365 --> 00:11:33.806
  • I didn't mean to say that.
  • 00:11:33.806 --> 00:11:35.174
  • Excuse me.
  • 00:11:35.174 --> 00:11:37.409
  • It seems to imply loving others is a debt that we will never
  • 00:11:37.409 --> 00:11:43.282
  • Pay off.
  • 00:11:43.282 --> 00:11:44.617
  • We will never be done with paying love to each other.
  • 00:11:44.617 --> 00:11:55.327
  • Christ-like love will naturally motivate us to keep all of the
  • 00:11:49.321 --> 00:12:04.170
  • Other relationship commandments in the law.
  • 00:12:04.170 --> 00:12:08.440
  • See, we've been worried about give me some more principles so
  • 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.210
  • I can keep all the relationship commandments and
  • 00:12:11.210 --> 00:12:14.914
  • Christ-like love.
  • 00:12:14.914 --> 00:12:16.248
  • If we pay this debt, it will position us to take care of all
  • 00:12:16.248 --> 00:12:21.887
  • Of the other debts.
  • 00:12:21.887 --> 00:12:24.256
  • The only debt we are acq--that we are to acquire is love.
  • 00:12:24.256 --> 00:12:30.296
  • The only debt we are, we ought to acquire is this debt of love.
  • 00:12:30.296 --> 00:12:37.503
  • Now, look at romans chapter one, verse 14 to 15, romans chapter
  • 00:12:37.503 --> 00:12:42.842
  • One, verse 14 and 15.
  • 00:12:42.842 --> 00:12:51.183
  • Let's read this in two versions, in the king james and then
  • 00:12:51.183 --> 00:12:53.853
  • The nlt.
  • 00:12:53.853 --> 00:12:55.221
  • Paul is saying: "i am a debtor both to the greeks and to
  • 00:12:55.221 --> 00:12:58.724
  • The barbarians."
  • 00:12:58.724 --> 00:13:00.192
  • Wow, from one pole to the next.
  • 00:13:00.192 --> 00:13:04.363
  • "both to the wise and to the unwise."
  • 00:13:04.363 --> 00:13:09.101
  • Verse 15:
  • 00:13:09.101 --> 00:13:10.769
  • "so as much as in me is, i am ready to preach the gospel to
  • 00:13:10.769 --> 00:13:16.876
  • You that are at rome also."
  • 00:13:16.876 --> 00:13:21.213
  • What is he talking about?
  • 00:13:21.213 --> 00:13:22.581
  • He's talking about a debt but not a financial one.
  • 00:13:22.581 --> 00:13:24.884
  • Look at this in the nlt.
  • 00:13:24.884 --> 00:13:28.053
  • He says: "for i have a great sense of obligation to people in
  • 00:13:28.053 --> 00:13:33.492
  • Both the civilized world and the rest of the world.
  • 00:13:33.492 --> 00:13:38.163
  • I have an obligation to the educated and the
  • 00:13:38.163 --> 00:13:41.300
  • Uneducated alike.
  • 00:13:41.300 --> 00:13:44.103
  • So i am eager to come to you in rome also to preach
  • 00:13:44.103 --> 00:13:49.842
  • The good news."
  • 00:13:49.842 --> 00:13:51.210
  • So paul was speaking about a debt.
  • 00:13:51.210 --> 00:13:52.544
  • He felt in sharing with them the gospel of christ because god had
  • 00:13:52.544 --> 00:13:59.385
  • So blessed the apostle paul above measure that he felt
  • 00:13:59.385 --> 00:14:03.822
  • Himself a debtor to the lost world.
  • 00:14:03.822 --> 00:14:08.027
  • Now, that's love.
  • 00:14:08.027 --> 00:14:10.162
  • That's love.
  • 00:14:10.162 --> 00:14:11.497
  • It was love that motivated him to say, i am a debtor to
  • 00:14:11.497 --> 00:14:16.702
  • Everybody who don't know and have heard this gospel of grace.
  • 00:14:16.702 --> 00:14:23.342
  • It is a gospel debt that he's referring here in romans.
  • 00:14:23.342 --> 00:14:27.513
  • It is a debt of good news that he's referring here in
  • 00:14:27.513 --> 00:14:30.950
  • Romans one.
  • 00:14:30.950 --> 00:14:32.484
  • A debt that can only be paid by giving the gospel to others
  • 00:14:32.484 --> 00:14:37.089
  • Any way he can.
  • 00:14:37.089 --> 00:14:38.424
  • So he said that is a debt that i have taken on, a gospel debt.
  • 00:14:38.424 --> 00:14:43.696
  • I've got to preach it from the greek to the barbarians,
  • 00:14:43.696 --> 00:14:47.232
  • Praise god.
  • 00:14:47.232 --> 00:14:48.567
  • I got to get it to the wise and the unwise.
  • 00:14:48.567 --> 00:14:51.603
  • He said there is nobody outside of this.
  • 00:14:51.603 --> 00:14:54.273
  • I gotta get it to every human.
  • 00:14:54.273 --> 00:14:57.276
  • And this is what paul was also saying, with this debt of love
  • 00:14:57.276 --> 00:15:00.412
  • Is concerned.
  • 00:15:00.412 --> 00:15:01.780
  • This debt of love, he says, has to be paid to humankind.
  • 00:15:01.780 --> 00:15:06.318
  • People you don't like, people you can't stand, people you
  • 00:15:06.318 --> 00:15:09.288
  • Don't know, people you mad at, people who offended you.
  • 00:15:09.288 --> 00:15:14.159
  • You are in debt while you're alive to every human being.
  • 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:20.232
  • And you will not be able to pay this debt because it's gonna
  • 00:15:20.232 --> 00:15:23.769
  • Take the grace of god for you to make the payments.
  • 00:15:23.769 --> 00:15:32.044
  • Because actually some of these people you owe love to--
  • 00:15:32.044 --> 00:15:38.884
  • I'll get there a little bit later.
  • 00:15:38.884 --> 00:15:44.556
  • When you have paid all of your other debts, okay?
  • 00:15:44.556 --> 00:15:48.527
  • When you've paid off your taxes, when you've paid your customs,
  • 00:15:48.527 --> 00:15:52.197
  • Whatever else you may owe, there will still be one debt unpaid,
  • 00:15:52.197 --> 00:15:58.203
  • That is the universal debt of love.
  • 00:15:58.203 --> 00:16:03.575
  • Love must still remain the root and the spring of all of
  • 00:16:03.575 --> 00:16:09.014
  • Your actions.
  • 00:16:09.014 --> 00:16:10.482
  • You don't need another law.
  • 00:16:10.482 --> 00:16:12.084
  • There's no other law that's needed when you are paying this
  • 00:16:12.084 --> 00:16:15.788
  • Debt of love.
  • 00:16:15.788 --> 00:16:17.823
  • And like i said a few minutes ago, without grace, this debt
  • 00:16:17.823 --> 00:16:22.528
  • Of love owed to mankind, think of that.
  • 00:16:22.528 --> 00:16:25.531
  • You have, you owe mankind a debt of love, and it's gonna take
  • 00:16:25.531 --> 00:16:30.335
  • Grace to be able to pay it.
  • 00:16:30.335 --> 00:16:32.604
  • You're not gonna pay it off, but you're gonna pay it
  • 00:16:32.604 --> 00:16:35.074
  • While you're living.
  • 00:16:35.074 --> 00:16:36.408
  • You owe mankind.
  • 00:16:36.408 --> 00:16:37.743
  • It just blew my mind.
  • 00:16:37.743 --> 00:16:39.111
  • I owe mankind.
  • 00:16:39.111 --> 00:16:40.446
  • I'm not talking about, i owe master and visa.
  • 00:16:40.446 --> 00:16:42.481
  • I owe mankind.
  • 00:16:42.481 --> 00:16:45.884
  • I realize that even if i pay all of my money debts off, i still
  • 00:16:45.884 --> 00:16:51.156
  • Have a debt that i owe to all mankind.
  • 00:16:51.156 --> 00:16:55.461
  • I thought that this was just about giving you some formulas
  • 00:16:55.461 --> 00:17:00.132
  • So you can pay your financial debt.
  • 00:17:00.132 --> 00:17:03.168
  • But i'm gonna show you something a little greater.
  • 00:17:03.168 --> 00:17:05.037
  • I'm gonna show you how to release the supernatural to come
  • 00:17:05.037 --> 00:17:09.074
  • In to pay your debt, regardless of how much money you making
  • 00:17:09.074 --> 00:17:13.078
  • Per week.
  • 00:17:13.078 --> 00:17:14.446
  • There is something about paying the debt of love that will
  • 00:17:14.446 --> 00:17:18.283
  • Release an anointing to take care of all of the other debts
  • 00:17:18.283 --> 00:17:22.321
  • You have in your life.
  • 00:17:22.321 --> 00:17:23.689
  • And not many christian people have understood or tapped
  • 00:17:23.689 --> 00:17:27.659
  • Into this.
  • 00:17:27.659 --> 00:17:28.994
  • Why would you make me indefinitely in debt to mankind?
  • 00:17:28.994 --> 00:17:35.868
  • You know, you know, god's got something he working on.
  • 00:17:35.868 --> 00:17:38.837
  • You know, god god, god understands this.
  • 00:17:38.837 --> 00:17:43.208
  • God, god knows, bruh.
  • 00:17:43.208 --> 00:17:45.344
  • And instead of you arguing about it, i don't know about paying no
  • 00:17:45.344 --> 00:17:49.047
  • Debt to everybody.
  • 00:17:49.047 --> 00:17:50.382
  • You might be stopping something up in your life.
  • 00:17:50.382 --> 00:17:53.252
  • And i have been called here today to introduce to you to the
  • 00:17:53.252 --> 00:17:57.623
  • Most powerful anointing known to man, but it's not going to be
  • 00:17:57.623 --> 00:18:01.894
  • Made available until you understand that you have a debt
  • 00:18:01.894 --> 00:18:06.031
  • To pay with all of mankind.
  • 00:18:06.031 --> 00:18:10.302
  • Oh my goodness.
  • 00:18:10.302 --> 00:18:13.805
  • Wow, without grace, this debt of love owed to mankind can't be
  • 00:18:13.805 --> 00:18:21.647
  • Consistently paid because every man is a creditor for the debt
  • 00:18:21.647 --> 00:18:25.984
  • Of love.
  • 00:18:25.984 --> 00:18:27.319
  • Every man is a creditor for the debt of love.
  • 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:29.588
  • Every man, the one you ain't spoke to, the one you mad at,
  • 00:18:29.588 --> 00:18:32.057
  • The one you said you never speak--every man is a creditor
  • 00:18:32.057 --> 00:18:36.094
  • Of this debt of love.
  • 00:18:36.094 --> 00:18:38.630
  • Now let me back up just for a moment until before i hit this
  • 00:18:38.630 --> 00:18:41.433
  • Thing, i discovered praying over this and studying this that
  • 00:18:41.433 --> 00:18:47.906
  • There is a correlation between slavery and debt,
  • 00:18:47.906 --> 00:18:57.316
  • Slavery and debt.
  • 00:18:57.316 --> 00:18:59.351
  • Now, this time i wanna read romans chapter 13:7 through 8
  • 00:18:59.351 --> 00:19:03.021
  • Out of the message translation.
  • 00:19:03.021 --> 00:19:05.557
  • And i wanna talk about slavery first and then bring it right on
  • 00:19:05.557 --> 00:19:10.996
  • In here to debt.
  • 00:19:10.996 --> 00:19:12.564
  • Now some of y'all who are in debt and can't pay your bills,
  • 00:19:12.564 --> 00:19:15.067
  • You don't need to be sleeping right now.
  • 00:19:15.067 --> 00:19:19.238
  • Because i'm not screaming and whooping this out.
  • 00:19:19.238 --> 00:19:21.073
  • I gotta teach this in you or all you're gonna get is the happy
  • 00:19:21.073 --> 00:19:26.111
  • Part and still walk away in debt.
  • 00:19:26.111 --> 00:19:27.846
  • And then there's a powerful tool that's been given to you to use.
  • 00:19:27.846 --> 00:19:33.552
  • Romans 13 in the message.
  • 00:19:33.552 --> 00:19:37.256
  • I'm gonna read verse 7 and 8.
  • 00:19:37.256 --> 00:19:43.662
  • So i'll start right here in the message, just continue on 7,
  • 00:19:43.662 --> 00:19:46.365
  • 8 until i get all of it.
  • 00:19:46.365 --> 00:19:47.699
  • He says: "that's also why you pay taxes--so that an orderly
  • 00:19:47.699 --> 00:19:51.203
  • Way of life can be maintained, fulfill your obligations as
  • 00:19:51.203 --> 00:19:58.644
  • A citizen, pay your taxes, pay your bills, respect
  • 00:19:58.644 --> 00:20:02.581
  • Your leaders.
  • 00:20:02.581 --> 00:20:04.449
  • Don't run up debts except for the huge debt of love you owe
  • 00:20:04.449 --> 00:20:10.922
  • Each other.
  • 00:20:10.922 --> 00:20:13.125
  • When you love others, you complete what the law has been
  • 00:20:13.125 --> 00:20:16.762
  • After all along.
  • 00:20:16.762 --> 00:20:19.698
  • The law code, don't sleep with another person--"
  • 00:20:19.698 --> 00:20:24.002
  • And then it goes on da, da, da, da, da, da.
  • 00:20:24.002 --> 00:20:26.138
  • Now the bible condemns forced slavery.
  • 00:20:26.138 --> 00:20:36.415
  • I'll show you that in a minute.
  • 00:20:36.481 --> 00:20:37.816
  • It condemns forced slavery.
  • 00:20:37.816 --> 00:20:39.851
  • Men who would twist scriptures into saying that a man can treat
  • 00:20:39.851 --> 00:20:43.555
  • Another as property to be purchased.
  • 00:20:43.555 --> 00:20:48.560
  • People that believe that are at best ignorant of what the bible
  • 00:20:48.560 --> 00:20:51.763
  • Says or at worst, willingly prejudiced to--and full of hate
  • 00:20:51.763 --> 00:20:56.635
  • If you believe that.
  • 00:20:56.635 --> 00:20:59.237
  • Now, 1 timothy chapter 1 and 10 talks about the law is still
  • 00:20:59.237 --> 00:21:05.977
  • Valid for sinners.
  • 00:21:05.977 --> 00:21:08.647
  • And within that list, 1 timothy chapter 1 and 10, it mentions
  • 00:21:08.647 --> 00:21:13.985
  • This word men-stealers, men-stealers.
  • 00:21:13.985 --> 00:21:18.690
  • He says: "for whoremongers, the law was still for whoremongers,
  • 00:21:18.690 --> 00:21:22.094
  • For them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers."
  • 00:21:22.094 --> 00:21:27.733
  • What is that?
  • 00:21:27.733 --> 00:21:29.067
  • Menstealers?
  • 00:21:29.067 --> 00:21:30.402
  • Those are--it's men who would steal away another man or
  • 00:21:30.402 --> 00:21:34.306
  • Woman or kidnap another man or woman or take another man
  • 00:21:34.306 --> 00:21:39.144
  • Or woman and then sell them into slavery.
  • 00:21:39.144 --> 00:21:44.783
  • They are wicked sinners that do that.
  • 00:21:44.783 --> 00:21:47.386
  • And the old testament condemns that.
  • 00:21:47.386 --> 00:21:49.454
  • Exodus, chapter 21 and 16.
  • 00:21:49.454 --> 00:21:51.823
  • Go there in the king james.
  • 00:21:51.823 --> 00:21:53.558
  • Exodus 21 and 16.
  • 00:21:53.558 --> 00:21:55.727
  • The old testament condemned that.
  • 00:21:55.727 --> 00:21:57.062
  • He says: "and he that stealeth a man and selleth him, or if he be
  • 00:21:57.062 --> 00:22:03.368
  • Found in his hands, he shall surely be put to death."
  • 00:22:03.368 --> 00:22:07.139
  • So the old testament absolutely condemned that, that you can't
  • 00:22:07.139 --> 00:22:10.909
  • Take a man and sell him into slavery.
  • 00:22:10.909 --> 00:22:16.381
  • Also in deuteronomy 24 and 7. deuteronomy 24 and 7.
  • 00:22:16.381 --> 00:22:24.055
  • He says: "if a man be found stealing any of his brethren of
  • 00:22:24.055 --> 00:22:28.460
  • The children of israel and maketh merchandise of him or
  • 00:22:28.460 --> 00:22:34.299
  • Selleth him, then that thief shall die.
  • 00:22:34.299 --> 00:22:36.001
  • And thou shall not put evil-- and thou shall put evil away
  • 00:22:36.001 --> 00:22:40.439
  • From among you."
  • 00:22:40.439 --> 00:22:42.441
  • So yeah, we're thinking about slavery that black
  • 00:22:42.441 --> 00:22:47.245
  • People suffered.
  • 00:22:47.245 --> 00:22:48.613
  • But even today, if you take a child and sell it into sex
  • 00:22:48.613 --> 00:22:55.587
  • Slavery, the bible condemns that and said that is so wicked that
  • 00:22:55.587 --> 00:23:02.160
  • Even under the law, he says, you ought to be put to death for
  • 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:05.130
  • Doing something like that.
  • 00:23:05.130 --> 00:23:07.199
