  • Creflo: if you have your bibles, go with me to the book of romans
  • 00:01:48.953 --> 00:01:52.356
  • Chapter 8 and verse 32.
  • 00:01:52.356 --> 00:01:54.358
  • I'm going to read it out of the amplified.
  • 00:01:54.358 --> 00:01:56.227
  • Romans 8, verse 32.
  • 00:01:56.227 --> 00:01:58.663
  • I'm going to read it out of the amplified and the
  • 00:01:58.663 --> 00:02:00.231
  • Mirror translation.
  • 00:02:00.231 --> 00:02:02.533
  • Today we're going to do part two of the one and only faith, the
  • 00:02:02.533 --> 00:02:09.340
  • One true and only faith.
  • 00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:11.375
  • I mean, it's something that-- it's really come to my mind.
  • 00:02:11.375 --> 00:02:16.347
  • Last night i was looking over this teaching and i had to get
  • 00:02:16.347 --> 00:02:19.650
  • Up and just walk away from it 'cause i had a lot of questions
  • 00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:22.753
  • Coming in my mind based on things that i've
  • 00:02:22.753 --> 00:02:25.256
  • Already understood.
  • 00:02:25.256 --> 00:02:26.591
  • So i want you to listen to this very carefully here
  • 00:02:26.591 --> 00:02:28.059
  • This morning.
  • 00:02:28.059 --> 00:02:29.427
  • Let's set up how we're going to tackle this today because
  • 00:02:29.427 --> 00:02:34.332
  • Basically i'm going to deal with the--having the faith of god
  • 00:02:34.332 --> 00:02:41.172
  • Versus having faith in god.
  • 00:02:41.172 --> 00:02:43.774
  • Somebody said, "why the big deal there?"
  • 00:02:43.774 --> 00:02:46.477
  • 'cause having faith in god has always been assumed to that--the
  • 00:02:46.477 --> 00:02:52.416
  • Fact that if i have faith in god, i've got to do that in
  • 00:02:52.416 --> 00:02:56.654
  • Order to receive what god says i'm supposed to have; versus
  • 00:02:56.654 --> 00:03:00.625
  • Having the faith of god, it's like a gift.
  • 00:03:00.625 --> 00:03:03.861
  • God has gifted me with this.
  • 00:03:03.861 --> 00:03:05.896
  • So these scriptures are going to set the foundation to kind of
  • 00:03:05.896 --> 00:03:08.866
  • Help you out.
  • 00:03:08.866 --> 00:03:10.234
  • Hopefully, today is going to deliver you from this attitude
  • 00:03:10.234 --> 00:03:13.537
  • Of what i have to do in order to get what god wants me to have
  • 00:03:13.537 --> 00:03:19.043
  • Freely, what i have to do in order to receive a gift that
  • 00:03:19.043 --> 00:03:24.749
  • You're not supposed to do anything to receive a gift.
  • 00:03:24.749 --> 00:03:27.785
  • I mean, if you had to do something to get a gift, then it
  • 00:03:27.785 --> 00:03:30.888
  • Just wouldn't be a gift, would it, because you had to do
  • 00:03:30.888 --> 00:03:33.357
  • Something to earn it?
  • 00:03:33.357 --> 00:03:35.226
  • But--i mean, you listen to it, most of the body of christ has
  • 00:03:35.226 --> 00:03:38.529
  • Been trained in, "this is what we have to do to get the gift."
  • 00:03:38.529 --> 00:03:44.168
  • Huh?
  • 00:03:44.168 --> 00:03:45.503
  • It's not a gift.
  • 00:03:45.503 --> 00:03:48.205
  • And if this is what we have to do to earn that privilege, then
  • 00:03:46.871 --> 00:03:53.077
  • It wouldn't be a gift; and the bible says we have
  • 00:03:53.077 --> 00:03:56.514
  • Undeserved privilege.
  • 00:03:56.514 --> 00:03:58.883
  • So we have privilege, but it's not because we deserve it.
  • 00:03:58.883 --> 00:04:01.552
  • We have privilege that's undeserved.
  • 00:04:01.552 --> 00:04:03.721
  • So let's get into this, and this is going to be amazing and i
  • 00:04:03.721 --> 00:04:08.793
  • Pray that your--the pores of your understanding will open up
  • 00:04:08.793 --> 00:04:13.064
  • And you can see this and you can be free to accept the gift.
  • 00:04:13.064 --> 00:04:17.501
  • Amen.
  • 00:04:17.501 --> 00:04:18.836
  • All right, verse 32 romans 8.
  • 00:04:18.836 --> 00:04:22.973
  • I'm reading out of the amplified.
  • 00:04:22.973 --> 00:04:24.308
  • He says, "he who did not withhold or spare [even] his own
  • 00:04:24.308 --> 00:04:28.245
  • Son but gave him up for us all,"
  • 00:04:28.245 --> 00:04:34.819
  • He gave jesus up for us all,
  • 00:04:34.819 --> 00:04:38.823
  • "will he not also along with him," along with--so he gave up
  • 00:04:38.823 --> 00:04:44.528
  • Jesus for us all.
  • 00:04:44.528 --> 00:04:45.930
  • So he gave up jesus for the whole world.
  • 00:04:45.930 --> 00:04:50.301
  • Now, the whole world, it'd be cool if they--if everybody just
  • 00:04:50.301 --> 00:04:54.338
  • Accepted him, if everybody accepted the gift, all right?
  • 00:04:54.338 --> 00:04:59.009
  • So he gave up jesus for the whole world, and this is the
  • 00:04:59.009 --> 00:05:02.780
  • Part that got me:
  • 00:05:02.780 --> 00:05:04.448
  • "will he not also with giving up jesus freely and graciously give
  • 00:05:04.448 --> 00:05:11.856
  • Us all other things?"
  • 00:05:11.856 --> 00:05:15.092
  • That's strong.
  • 00:05:15.092 --> 00:05:16.427
  • He says, "i gave you jesus, and because i gave you jesus i am
  • 00:05:16.427 --> 00:05:20.998
  • Going to freely and graciously give you all [other] things.
  • 00:05:20.998 --> 00:05:27.705
  • I gave you jesus, so i'm going to freely--" which means he is
  • 00:05:27.705 --> 00:05:31.742
  • Saying, "i gave you jesus, big gift.
  • 00:05:31.742 --> 00:05:35.713
  • I'm going to give you more gifts.
  • 00:05:35.713 --> 00:05:38.749
  • Along with jesus, more gifts.
  • 00:05:38.749 --> 00:05:43.087
  • Along with jesus, more things that you're going to receive not
  • 00:05:43.087 --> 00:05:48.559
  • Because you deserve it.
  • 00:05:48.559 --> 00:05:51.095
  • You didn't deserve jesus.
  • 00:05:51.095 --> 00:05:52.630
  • I gave you the most expensive thing heaven had to offer.
  • 00:05:52.630 --> 00:05:55.433
  • I gave you jesus, and don't you know--don't you understand that
  • 00:05:55.433 --> 00:06:00.304
  • If i'll give you jesus i will also freely and graciously give
  • 00:06:00.304 --> 00:06:04.642
  • You all other things?"
  • 00:06:04.642 --> 00:06:06.877
  • Oh, i can just go home right now.
  • 00:06:06.877 --> 00:06:11.615
  • I'm trying to talk to you about all of the other things.
  • 00:06:11.615 --> 00:06:17.521
  • Somehow or another we've accepted jesus, and then when we
  • 00:06:17.521 --> 00:06:20.524
  • Accepted jesus we put a lot of rules around it and said, "now
  • 00:06:20.524 --> 00:06:24.328
  • That you're saved, now you got to do this if you want god to
  • 00:06:24.328 --> 00:06:26.497
  • Do that.
  • 00:06:26.497 --> 00:06:28.365
  • You know what?
  • 00:06:28.365 --> 00:06:29.733
  • If you're going to be forgiven, you got to forgive others.
  • 00:06:29.733 --> 00:06:32.336
  • 'cause if you don't forgive, then god won't forgive you."
  • 00:06:32.336 --> 00:06:34.705
  • That says that in the new testament.
  • 00:06:34.705 --> 00:06:37.975
  • In the gospels of luke and john it says that, but that was
  • 00:06:37.975 --> 00:06:43.814
  • Before jesus was accepted.
  • 00:06:43.814 --> 00:06:47.751
  • Now that jesus has been accepted, god says, "you
  • 00:06:47.751 --> 00:06:50.921
  • Know what?
  • 00:06:50.921 --> 00:06:52.256
  • I'm going to give you forgiveness for free."
  • 00:06:52.256 --> 00:06:56.660
  • Now, it's good to forgive other people because when you don't
  • 00:06:56.660 --> 00:07:00.130
  • Forgive other people then you're walking around with a
  • 00:07:00.130 --> 00:07:02.433
  • Poisoned heart.
  • 00:07:02.433 --> 00:07:03.767
  • It's good to forgive other people, but you--it's not--
  • 00:07:03.767 --> 00:07:06.637
  • Giving--it's not forgiving other people that puts you in a
  • 00:07:06.637 --> 00:07:11.909
  • Position to earn forgiveness from god, huh-uh, and that's
  • 00:07:11.909 --> 00:07:16.747
  • Where we've missed it.
  • 00:07:16.747 --> 00:07:18.182
  • We've taken scripture out of context.
  • 00:07:18.182 --> 00:07:19.984
  • We didn't put it in the right place.
  • 00:07:19.984 --> 00:07:22.019
  • We took it out and we preached it, and this is how people feel.
  • 00:07:22.019 --> 00:07:25.189
  • I preach a message, "all right.
  • 00:07:25.189 --> 00:07:26.557
  • If you don't forgive your brother, then god ain't going to
  • 00:07:26.557 --> 00:07:30.060
  • Forgive you."
  • 00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:31.428
  • And then you walk away and you think, "gosh, this guy, this
  • 00:07:31.428 --> 00:07:35.065
  • Guy did so much to me, and i'm working on it and i'm trying."
  • 00:07:35.065 --> 00:07:38.469
  • And now you're beating yourself up because you forgave him, you
  • 00:07:38.469 --> 00:07:43.440
  • Thought you forgave him, you do--and you--now you're working
  • 00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:45.910
  • And sweating and try to do this.
  • 00:07:45.910 --> 00:07:47.678
  • And you go to the thanksgiving and he's there and you tried and
  • 00:07:47.678 --> 00:07:51.081
  • You looked at him and said, "i love you" blankety-blank blank
  • 00:07:51.081 --> 00:07:54.151
  • And you just kind of--and it's like, "oh, god's not going to
  • 00:07:54.151 --> 00:07:56.854
  • Forgive me.
  • 00:07:56.854 --> 00:07:58.222
  • God's not going to forgive me."
  • 00:07:58.222 --> 00:07:59.557
  • And then they'll go on to say now if you die with that
  • 00:07:59.557 --> 00:08:01.292
  • Unforgiveness, you're going to hell.
  • 00:08:01.292 --> 00:08:02.726
  • That's just not the truth because the whole point is,
  • 00:08:02.726 --> 00:08:06.263
  • "i've given you the gift of jesus, and when you accept jesus
  • 00:08:06.263 --> 00:08:10.034
  • Don't you know i'm going to freely and graciously give you
  • 00:08:10.034 --> 00:08:13.771
  • Everything else?"
  • 00:08:13.771 --> 00:08:17.942
  • That freaks you out 'cause most of us have heard what i said.
  • 00:08:17.942 --> 00:08:21.579
  • If you don't forgive somebody else, then god won't
  • 00:08:21.579 --> 00:08:23.347
  • Forgive you.
  • 00:08:23.347 --> 00:08:24.682
  • Is it good to forgive other people?
  • 00:08:24.682 --> 00:08:26.050
  • Yes.
  • 00:08:26.050 --> 00:08:28.319
  • But do you have to do that in order to earn god's forgiveness?
  • 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:34.291
  • No.
  • 00:08:34.291 --> 00:08:35.659
  • God, when he gave you jesus, decided, "i'm going to gift you
  • 00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:39.597
  • Everything that you couldn't do."
  • 00:08:39.597 --> 00:08:41.265
  • You having to forgive in order to get forgiveness was an old
  • 00:08:41.265 --> 00:08:44.935
  • Testament law-based situation, but now that you're under this
  • 00:08:44.935 --> 00:08:51.442
  • New testament and jesus has been given unto you, glory to god, he
  • 00:08:51.442 --> 00:08:55.846
  • Will freely and graciously give us all other things.
  • 00:08:55.846 --> 00:08:59.617
  • He--and then that--he's not only forgiving you, he forgave you
  • 00:08:59.617 --> 00:09:05.522
  • Before you did what was necessary to get forgiveness.
  • 00:09:05.522 --> 00:09:08.092
  • Forgiveness is finished.
  • 00:09:08.092 --> 00:09:09.660
  • Forgiveness is completed.
  • 00:09:09.660 --> 00:09:11.295
  • Forgiveness is done.
  • 00:09:11.295 --> 00:09:12.930
  • It cannot be undone, and you can't get no more forgiven than
  • 00:09:12.930 --> 00:09:16.767
  • You already are.
  • 00:09:16.767 --> 00:09:24.041
  • "well--"
  • 00:09:24.041 --> 00:09:30.381
  • Read that in the mirror.
  • 00:09:30.381 --> 00:09:34.385
  • He says in mirror translation, "the gift of his son is the
  • 00:09:34.385 --> 00:09:38.322
  • Irrefutable evidence of god's heart towards us.
  • 00:09:38.322 --> 00:09:42.860
  • He held nothing in reserve; but freely and undeservedly gave
  • 00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:49.466
  • Everything we could ever wish to have; this is what our joint
  • 00:09:49.466 --> 00:09:55.072
  • Sonship is all about."
  • 00:09:55.072 --> 00:09:59.877
  • Everything that we wish to have--already done,
  • 00:09:59.877 --> 00:10:06.116
  • Already given.
  • 00:10:06.116 --> 00:10:08.719
  • Now, let's look at this next scripture.
  • 00:10:08.719 --> 00:10:13.991
  • Galatians chapter 2, verse 20 in the king james.
  • 00:10:13.991 --> 00:10:24.301
  • All right.
  • 00:10:18.062 --> 00:10:25.636
  • "i am crucified with christ: nevertheless--" this is
  • 00:10:25.636 --> 00:10:30.808
  • Paul talking.
  • 00:10:30.808 --> 00:10:32.142
  • "i'm crucified with christ."
  • 00:10:32.142 --> 00:10:33.510
  • So when christ was crucified, paul said, "i was crucified."
  • 00:10:33.510 --> 00:10:38.315
  • "nevertheless i live; yet not i, but christ liveth," where?
  • 00:10:38.315 --> 00:10:44.321
  • Say out loud, "christ lives in me."
  • 00:10:44.321 --> 00:10:47.191
  • All right.
  • 00:10:47.191 --> 00:10:48.559
  • So he presented himself to the whole world, and if you've
  • 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.761
  • Accepted him he lives in you, all right?
  • 00:10:50.761 --> 00:10:54.832
  • "and the life which i now live in the flesh i live by the faith
  • 00:10:54.832 --> 00:11:03.574
  • Of the son of god."
  • 00:11:03.574 --> 00:11:07.444
  • So i live by his faith.
  • 00:11:07.444 --> 00:11:10.581
  • I live by the faith of the son of god.
  • 00:11:10.581 --> 00:11:13.050
  • So you can never say "my faith" without knowing that your faith
  • 00:11:13.050 --> 00:11:17.254
  • Is his faith.
  • 00:11:17.254 --> 00:11:19.523
  • You can't go around talking about, "well, my faith this and
  • 00:11:19.523 --> 00:11:22.059
  • My faith that," because my faith or your faith, our faith is
  • 00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:26.096
  • His faith.
  • 00:11:26.096 --> 00:11:27.931
  • It ain't no jesus got his faith and then all of us got our faith
  • 00:11:27.931 --> 00:11:32.803
  • And--because, you see, the problem with that--when you
  • 00:11:32.803 --> 00:11:35.372
  • Understand that you live by his faith, his faith is complete,
  • 00:11:35.372 --> 00:11:38.542
  • Done, perfect, awesome.
  • 00:11:38.542 --> 00:11:41.845
  • And so he gave you his faith so our faith--let me show you how
  • 00:11:41.845 --> 00:11:46.650
  • It really goes.
  • 00:11:46.650 --> 00:11:48.018
  • He took his faith and embodied it in jesus, then he gave
  • 00:11:48.018 --> 00:11:54.758
  • Us jesus.
  • 00:11:54.758 --> 00:11:56.126
  • Glory to god.
  • 00:11:56.126 --> 00:11:57.728
  • And so now jesus now--he says we live by the faith of the son
  • 00:11:57.728 --> 00:12:02.299
  • Of god.
  • 00:12:02.299 --> 00:12:03.634
  • So now we take the son of god's faith and now my faith is just a
  • 00:12:03.634 --> 00:12:09.072
  • Reflection of jesus's faith just like jesus's faith is a
  • 00:12:09.072 --> 00:12:12.943
  • Reflection of god's faith, and god's faith is flawless and
  • 00:12:12.943 --> 00:12:16.313
  • Perfect and done and completed.
  • 00:12:16.313 --> 00:12:18.649
  • So he took his flawless and perfect and done faith, embodied
  • 00:12:18.649 --> 00:12:22.419
  • It in a body called jesus, then jesus, if we accepted him, gave
  • 00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:27.758
  • His faith to us.
  • 00:12:27.758 --> 00:12:29.193
  • And now my faith is not my faith different from the one faith,
  • 00:12:29.193 --> 00:12:33.931
  • But my faith is just his faith, which is god's faith, which god
  • 00:12:33.931 --> 00:12:38.569
  • Got to me through jesus and now the faith i have is flawless,
  • 00:12:38.569 --> 00:12:42.372
  • Perfect, complete, done, finished.
  • 00:12:42.372 --> 00:12:46.543
  • Woo, glory to god.
  • 00:12:46.543 --> 00:12:51.281
  • So this stuff about, "well, this didn't happen 'cause my faith
  • 00:12:51.281 --> 00:12:55.586
  • Wasn't strong enough," that's why it ain't your faith 'cause
  • 00:12:55.586 --> 00:13:00.724
  • The faith you got is strong enough.
  • 00:13:00.724 --> 00:13:04.394
  • The faith you got can move mountains.
  • 00:13:04.394 --> 00:13:06.864
  • The faith you got can--you don't have no flawless,
  • 00:13:06.864 --> 00:13:11.068
  • Messed-up faith.
  • 00:13:11.068 --> 00:13:12.402
  • "well, the bible said that jesus looked at the disciples and he
  • 00:13:12.402 --> 00:13:16.006
  • Said, 'why is it you have no faith?'"
  • 00:13:16.006 --> 00:13:18.976
  • That's 'cause you don't know what the greek word
  • 00:13:18.976 --> 00:13:20.811
  • For "have" is.
  • 00:13:20.811 --> 00:13:22.145
  • It means echo.
  • 00:13:22.145 --> 00:13:23.480
  • He says, "in the midst of a storm, why we don't hear you
  • 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.283
  • Echoing faith?"
  • 00:13:26.283 --> 00:13:32.189
  • Did you understand what's going to happen with your life when
  • 00:13:32.189 --> 00:13:34.358
  • You never ever question the strength of the faith you have?
  • 00:13:34.358 --> 00:13:41.431
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:13:41.431 --> 00:13:42.799
  • You will never again question the faith you have.
  • 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.936
  • You won't say, "well, my faith wasn't big enough."
  • 00:13:45.936 --> 00:13:48.272
  • I don't know why the sickness came on you, but it wasn't
  • 00:13:48.272 --> 00:13:50.774
  • Because your faith wasn't big enough.
  • 00:13:50.774 --> 00:13:52.576
  • I don't know why you lost the car, but it wasn't because your
  • 00:13:52.576 --> 00:13:55.312
  • Faith wasn't big enough.
  • 00:13:55.312 --> 00:13:56.914
  • It was probably because you didn't realize how big it was,
  • 00:13:56.914 --> 00:14:02.019
  • You didn't realize how powerful it was.
  • 00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:11.929
  • Now, galatians chapter 2 in the 20.
  • 00:14:11.929 --> 00:14:15.165
  • I just want to read this.
  • 00:14:15.165 --> 00:14:16.533
  • Y'all got to listen to this, man.
  • 00:14:16.533 --> 00:14:19.002
  • He says, "so here i am dead and alive at the same time.
  • 00:14:19.002 --> 00:14:26.143
  • I'm dead to the old me i was trying to be and now i'm alive
  • 00:14:26.143 --> 00:14:31.782
  • To the real me which christ in me--which is christ in me."
  • 00:14:31.782 --> 00:14:36.620
  • "i'm alive to christ within me.
  • 00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:38.922
  • I come to the realation--realization of the
  • 00:14:38.922 --> 00:14:40.857
  • Christ in me."
  • 00:14:40.857 --> 00:14:42.526
  • "i'm co-crucified.
  • 00:14:42.526 --> 00:14:44.027
  • Now i'm co-alive."
  • 00:14:44.027 --> 00:14:46.730
  • What a glorious entanglement.
  • 00:14:46.730 --> 00:14:54.204
  • "i was in him in his death; now i discover that he is infused in
  • 00:14:54.204 --> 00:15:00.177
  • Me, in my life.
  • 00:15:00.177 --> 00:15:02.713
  • For the first time, i'm free to be me in my skin, immersed in
  • 00:15:02.713 --> 00:15:09.853
  • His faith in our joint-sonship.
  • 00:15:09.853 --> 00:15:15.692
  • He loves me and believes in me.
  • 00:15:15.692 --> 00:15:20.030
  • He is god's gift to me."
  • 00:15:20.030 --> 00:15:25.936
  • Say it.
  • 00:15:25.936 --> 00:15:27.304
  • "jesus is god's gift to me, and with jesus he will freely and
  • 00:15:27.304 --> 00:15:33.510
  • Graciously give me everything."
  • 00:15:33.510 --> 00:15:43.420
  • That's just like you having a phone and you still taking notes
  • 00:15:45.589 --> 00:15:49.459
  • 'cause you don't realize that your phone will do it for you.
  • 00:15:49.459 --> 00:15:55.932
  • You have all this on the inside and there are some things you
  • 00:15:55.932 --> 00:15:58.435
  • Need to come to realize; and then once you realize it, then
  • 00:15:58.435 --> 00:16:02.606
  • You can receive it; and then once you receive it, then you
  • 00:16:02.606 --> 00:16:06.543
  • Can rest in it.
  • 00:16:06.543 --> 00:16:09.079
  • Galatians chapter 3 and verse 24 through 28.
  • 00:16:09.079 --> 00:16:13.817
  • "so i live by the faith of the son of god."
  • 00:16:13.817 --> 00:16:16.720
  • Can you see that clearly?
  • 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.088
  • I mean, paul is saying that very clearly.
  • 00:16:18.088 --> 00:16:19.423
  • We live by the faith of the son of god, and we keep going back
  • 00:16:19.423 --> 00:16:23.026
  • To, you know, we have faith in jesus and if we having
  • 00:16:23.026 --> 00:16:28.532
  • Faith--and if we have faith in jesus, then we can be righteous.
  • 00:16:28.532 --> 00:16:31.401
  • If we have faith in jesus, then we can be healed.
  • 00:16:31.401 --> 00:16:34.371
  • If we have faith in jesus--and you keep looking at something to
  • 00:16:34.371 --> 00:16:37.707
  • Be earned; versus having the faith of jesus, gift.
  • 00:16:37.707 --> 00:16:43.680
  • Faith of jesus freely and graciously given.
  • 00:16:43.680 --> 00:16:46.983
  • You follow what i'm saying?
  • 00:16:46.983 --> 00:16:48.351
  • Faith in jesus.
  • 00:16:48.351 --> 00:16:50.220
  • So if it doesn't happen, you're like, "oh, i don't know if i had
  • 00:16:50.220 --> 00:16:52.422
  • Enough faith in jesus."
  • 00:16:52.422 --> 00:16:55.225
  • But you shift at and understand that the translation from the
  • 00:16:55.225 --> 00:16:58.328
  • Greek is "of," "the faith of jesus."
  • 00:16:58.328 --> 00:17:03.300
  • So i have this based on the faith of jesus.
  • 00:17:03.300 --> 00:17:06.736
  • It's all him.
  • 00:17:06.736 --> 00:17:08.071
  • He is the origin and the source of that righteousness.
  • 00:17:08.071 --> 00:17:13.443
  • He's the origin and the source of that justification.
  • 00:17:13.443 --> 00:17:18.348
  • So to take it and turn around and having faith in jesus, now
  • 00:17:18.348 --> 00:17:21.785
  • You're tempted to make yourself and your faith in that the
  • 00:17:21.785 --> 00:17:26.723
  • Origin and source and you are not.
  • 00:17:26.723 --> 00:17:29.993
  • You are not.
  • 00:17:29.993 --> 00:17:31.828
  • I am just amazed at how this has existed
  • 00:17:31.828 --> 00:17:39.069
  • In the earth for
  • 00:17:39.069 --> 00:17:44.508
  • At least 100 years and it's because nobody--
  • 00:17:44.508 --> 00:17:49.112
  • Well, not nobody.
  • 00:17:49.112 --> 00:17:50.647
  • I'm sure somebody has.
  • 00:17:50.647 --> 00:17:52.382
  • Go find out what the original word was.
  • 00:17:52.382 --> 00:17:56.620
  • Go find out what the original phrase was.
  • 00:17:56.620 --> 00:17:59.222
  • We translated it over into english and there was no words
  • 00:17:59.222 --> 00:18:05.729
  • That were there, or we added words to complete the sentence
  • 00:18:05.729 --> 00:18:09.833
  • And gave a whole new idea in the psyche of christians and that
  • 00:18:09.833 --> 00:18:15.071
  • Idea was work to do, work to do, work to do and so we never
  • 00:18:15.071 --> 00:18:20.310
  • Received the gift, received the gift, received the gift.
  • 00:18:20.310 --> 00:18:23.680
  • Does everybody understand what i'm saying?
  • 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:25.682
  • So it's important to, every now and then, go back and see what
  • 00:18:25.682 --> 00:18:29.786
  • The original language said instead of just your western
  • 00:18:29.786 --> 00:18:34.958
  • Idea and your religious idea of what you've always heard.
  • 00:18:34.958 --> 00:18:38.395
  • Is that what it really said?
  • 00:18:38.395 --> 00:18:40.163
  • See, when you spend time with the holy spirit, you'll read a
  • 00:18:40.163 --> 00:18:42.933
  • Scripture--i do.
  • 00:18:42.933 --> 00:18:44.267
  • I can just talk about me.
  • 00:18:44.267 --> 00:18:45.635
  • When i spend time with the spirit of god, i'll read a
  • 00:18:45.635 --> 00:18:47.237
  • Scripture and i can tell it's translated wrong because that's
  • 00:18:47.237 --> 00:18:50.240
  • Not going along with my relationship with god.
  • 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:52.809
  • I'm like, "huh?
  • 00:18:52.809 --> 00:18:54.978
  • God ain't no killer.
  • 00:18:54.978 --> 00:18:56.313
  • What does that really mean?"
  • 00:18:56.313 --> 00:18:57.881
  • Or i get a conviction when it says, "go into all the world and
  • 00:18:57.881 --> 00:19:01.718
  • Preach the gospel and get people saved," and stuff like that.
  • 00:19:01.718 --> 00:19:04.621
  • That's the great commission, and i'm thinking, "wow, but i--you
  • 00:19:04.621 --> 00:19:09.092
  • Know, how do i--" and then i go and i look at the translation
  • 00:19:09.092 --> 00:19:11.962
  • And realize that is a participle, which me--he said,
  • 00:19:11.962 --> 00:19:14.464
  • "in your goings, in your everyday life, in your living,
  • 00:19:14.464 --> 00:19:17.567
  • In your going to work, in your going to school, in your going
  • 00:19:17.567 --> 00:19:20.036
  • To your tea parties and all of that let your life be the
  • 00:19:20.036 --> 00:19:22.706
  • Epistle to turn people into disciples."
  • 00:19:22.706 --> 00:19:28.211
  • Do you follow what i'm saying?
  • 00:19:28.211 --> 00:19:30.647
  • So i'm over this trusting what the commentary wrote 'cause he
  • 00:19:30.647 --> 00:19:35.552
  • Might have had his own personal interpretation put into that,
  • 00:19:35.552 --> 00:19:40.023
  • And i ain't doing that no more.
  • 00:19:40.023 --> 00:19:41.358
  • I ain't doing none of that no more.
  • 00:19:41.358 --> 00:19:42.692
  • I'm going to go find out for myself, me and the holy ghost,
  • 00:19:42.692 --> 00:19:45.829
  • And then i'm going to bring it to you so i can attack your
  • 00:19:45.829 --> 00:19:48.999
  • Mindset and you look at me like i'm missing it because your hero
  • 00:19:48.999 --> 00:19:53.169
  • Preacher always said it like this.
  • 00:19:53.169 --> 00:19:55.772
  • And i'm telling you what it say, but it's hard for you to step
  • 00:19:55.772 --> 00:20:00.176
  • Away from what you've always known.
  • 00:20:00.176 --> 00:20:06.449
  • And then just look at your life.
  • 00:20:06.449 --> 00:20:08.218
  • You have questions.
  • 00:20:08.218 --> 00:20:09.552
  • "why that ain't happening?
  • 00:20:09.552 --> 00:20:10.920
  • Why this ain't happening?
  • 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:12.255
  • What's going on here?
  • 00:20:12.255 --> 00:20:13.623
  • But i tried and i tried.
  • 00:20:13.623 --> 00:20:14.958
  • I--and i cried and i cried, and i prayed and i prayed, and i
  • 00:20:14.958 --> 00:20:20.930
  • Tried all night long, and i cried all night long, and i
  • 00:20:20.930 --> 00:20:23.667
  • Prayed all night long until i found the lord."
  • 00:20:23.667 --> 00:20:26.303
  • But you ain't telling the truth.
  • 00:20:26.303 --> 00:20:27.671
  • Didn't nothing happen. didn't nothing happen.
  • 00:20:27.671 --> 00:20:29.272
  • Ain't nothing happened.
  • 00:20:29.272 --> 00:20:30.874
  • You ain't received a gift in a long time.
  • 00:20:30.874 --> 00:20:32.208
  • You accepted jesus and that was it.
  • 00:20:32.208 --> 00:20:33.943
  • You don't know how to access nothing else, and it's simple.
  • 00:20:33.943 --> 00:20:36.813
  • Just come to the point where you realize that it's a gift and
  • 00:20:36.813 --> 00:20:41.651
  • It's yours.
  • 00:20:41.651 --> 00:20:47.457
  • And when trouble comes and it seems to stop that, that's when
  • 00:20:47.457 --> 00:20:51.294
  • You start echoing what's already yours.
  • 00:20:51.294 --> 00:20:57.133
  • You sick and you--"devil, i don't believe you got the memo.
  • 00:20:57.133 --> 00:21:01.071
  • You know healing is finished, don't you?
  • 00:21:01.071 --> 00:21:03.473
  • You don't understand.
  • 00:21:03.473 --> 00:21:04.808
  • Healing is finished.
  • 00:21:04.808 --> 00:21:06.176
  • Heal is finish--healing is finished."
  • 00:21:06.176 --> 00:21:07.510
  • I got a brother of mine who--he had cancer.
  • 00:21:07.510 --> 00:21:14.351
  • His psa was like in the 300s and something, and he was in
  • 00:21:14.351 --> 00:21:17.153
  • Military and he got some stuff that happened to him and
  • 00:21:17.153 --> 00:21:22.258
  • Basically, you know, the doctors are like...you know.
  • 00:21:22.258 --> 00:21:26.162
  • And he was so calm and cool.
  • 00:21:26.162 --> 00:21:27.530
  • "no, i'm good.
  • 00:21:27.530 --> 00:21:30.033
  • Everything all right."
  • 00:21:30.033 --> 00:21:31.668
  • Everybody thinking like, "what's going on?"
  • 00:21:31.668 --> 00:21:33.236
  • "i'm good.
  • 00:21:33.236 --> 00:21:34.571
  • Everything all right."
  • 00:21:34.571 --> 00:21:35.939
  • And they did a procedure--well, they didn't do a procedure.
  • 00:21:35.939 --> 00:21:38.007
  • He took something that they said, "well, we don't even know
  • 00:21:38.007 --> 00:21:40.210
  • If it's going to work.
  • 00:21:40.210 --> 00:21:41.578
  • It worked for so many percentage."
  • 00:21:41.578 --> 00:21:43.146
  • And he literally expelled the cancer out of his body.
  • 00:21:43.146 --> 00:21:47.951
  • Watch this.
  • 00:21:47.951 --> 00:21:49.319
  • And i got news just this past week that he is
  • 00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:51.721
  • 100% cancer-free.
  • 00:21:51.721 --> 00:21:58.061
  • So don't come telling me about what you've been knowing all
  • 00:21:58.061 --> 00:22:02.899
  • Your life and who said it 'cause you're free not to hear nothing
  • 00:22:02.899 --> 00:22:09.539
  • I say and i'm free to keep going on and teaching whoever believes
  • 00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:15.412
  • That i might win some.
  • 00:22:15.412 --> 00:22:19.315
  • We have entered into the realm of the finished.
  • 00:22:19.315 --> 00:22:24.487
  • We're not going back to the past.
  • 00:22:24.487 --> 00:22:27.757
  • We are in the finished.
  • 00:22:27.757 --> 00:22:29.092
  • We are in the completed.
  • 00:22:29.092 --> 00:22:30.460
  • We are in the done.

  • We are in the can't be undone.

  • I ain't moving from that place.
  • 00:22:34.497 --> 00:22:35.865
  • Every time something come to my mind, i tell--i remind myself,
  • 00:22:35.865 --> 00:22:37.867
  • "it's done.
  • 00:22:37.867 --> 00:22:41.438
  • My victory is done.
  • 00:22:41.438 --> 00:22:43.206
  • All the battles that i'll ever fight, the victory of it
  • 00:22:43.206 --> 00:22:46.042
  • Is done."
  • 00:22:46.042 --> 00:22:47.410
  • I ain't scared of no battles 'cause whatever come i just keep

  • Stay in the dimension where god abides.
  • 00:23:00.657 --> 00:23:02.358

  • 00:23:02.358 --> 00:23:04.794
