- Creflo: human effort has nothing to do with, salvation,
- 00:01:40.813 --> 00:01:48.354
- Which is by grace through faith.
- 00:01:48.354 --> 00:01:52.959
- I tell you, from the day i got born again, i was taught that my
- 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.429
- Human effort is what's gonna have to happen in order for
- 00:01:56.429 --> 00:02:01.067
- Anything to work for me.
- 00:02:01.067 --> 00:02:03.836
- And i can recall all of those years, and i mean to tell you,
- 00:02:03.836 --> 00:02:08.908
- Woo, just got tired.
- 00:02:08.908 --> 00:02:13.813
- And i was, like: "lord, please, please, please open my eyes.
- 00:02:13.813 --> 00:02:19.652
- I don't even know if there's something wrong, but if it is,
- 00:02:19.652 --> 00:02:23.456
- Open my eyes.
- 00:02:23.456 --> 00:02:24.824
- I just can't see the contradiction between what i'm
- 00:02:24.824 --> 00:02:32.732
- Hearing versus what i know."
- 00:02:32.732 --> 00:02:35.935
- And that's why you have to have a relationship with jesus.
- 00:02:35.935 --> 00:02:38.838
- Because when they can't figure out what the scripture says,
- 00:02:38.838 --> 00:02:40.873
- You need to know you know him.
- 00:02:40.873 --> 00:02:43.376
- Y'all understand what i'm saying?
- 00:02:43.376 --> 00:02:44.744
- You need to know you know him.
- 00:02:44.744 --> 00:02:46.079
- You need to know him for yourself.
- 00:02:46.079 --> 00:02:47.447
- When they fussing about the translation of this, translation
- 00:02:47.447 --> 00:02:49.916
- That, you need to be pretty confident to say, yeah, i know
- 00:02:49.916 --> 00:02:54.053
- What you're trying to say, but i know him, and he ain't
- 00:02:54.053 --> 00:02:57.090
- Like that.
- 00:02:57.090 --> 00:02:59.158
- I know him for myself, and he's so full of love.
- 00:02:59.158 --> 00:03:03.162
- And then you can just recall in your life, i was on my way
- 00:03:03.162 --> 00:03:05.465
- To hell.
- 00:03:05.465 --> 00:03:06.799
- Didn't have no god on my side, and he came in and rearranged
- 00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:11.738
- My whole life.
- 00:03:11.738 --> 00:03:13.072
- So i know what y'all saying and all that, and, you know,
- 00:03:13.072 --> 00:03:15.808
- The church is just trying their best to send people to hell.
- 00:03:15.808 --> 00:03:17.977
- Like, every day, you going to hell, you going to hell.
- 00:03:17.977 --> 00:03:20.747
- I saw a video one time, it was hilarious.
- 00:03:20.747 --> 00:03:23.816
- I don't know what happened.
- 00:03:23.816 --> 00:03:25.184
- The preacher just must have got tired.
- 00:03:25.184 --> 00:03:26.519
- It was--the law will do that to you.
- 00:03:26.519 --> 00:03:27.854
- The law just get you tired and you just do stupid--man, he just
- 00:03:27.854 --> 00:03:31.924
- Went off.
- 00:03:31.924 --> 00:03:33.293
- He got him in, he said: all y'all going," he was looking at
- 00:03:33.293 --> 00:03:35.461
- His congregation, he said: "all y'all going to hell."
- 00:03:35.461 --> 00:03:37.630
- And then the guy start playing the drum.
- 00:03:37.630 --> 00:03:38.998
- He said: "quit playing them drums.
- 00:03:38.998 --> 00:03:40.333
- You're going to hell."
- 00:03:40.333 --> 00:03:43.436
- And he looked at the piano player: "you're going to hell."
- 00:03:43.436 --> 00:03:45.838
- Looked at the deacons: "you going to hell."
- 00:03:45.838 --> 00:03:47.407
- Looked at the priests on the pulpit: "all y'all going
- 00:03:47.407 --> 00:03:49.309
- To hell."
- 00:03:49.309 --> 00:03:50.677
- Then he looked at his wife and family: "y'all going to
- 00:03:50.677 --> 00:03:52.345
- Hell, too.
- 00:03:52.345 --> 00:03:53.713
- All y'all going to hell."
- 00:03:53.713 --> 00:03:55.048
- And i just assumed that he knew, if he was sending everybody
- 00:03:55.048 --> 00:03:56.749
- To hell, he probably gonna be going to hell with them, huh?
- 00:03:56.749 --> 00:04:00.753
- Is this a heaven and hell thing because that's what we made it?
- 00:04:00.753 --> 00:04:04.490
- It's almost like religion has to have a fear-based motivation.
- 00:04:04.490 --> 00:04:10.296
- It's like religion and church turned into the drug pusher and
- 00:04:10.296 --> 00:04:16.469
- Says, i'll just give you a little taste of it just to get
- 00:04:16.469 --> 00:04:18.671
- You to want some more religion, some more fear.
- 00:04:18.671 --> 00:04:21.574
- And we actually got satisfied with trying to live under the
- 00:04:21.574 --> 00:04:24.210
- Law, trying to live under the fear, trying to live under the
- 00:04:24.210 --> 00:04:27.246
- Religious things that we've heard all of our lives because,
- 00:04:27.246 --> 00:04:29.849
- You know, didn't nobody know no better because he wants you to
- 00:04:29.849 --> 00:04:32.218
- Know him.
- 00:04:32.218 --> 00:04:33.586
- And i say, trust your relationship with god.
- 00:04:33.586 --> 00:04:36.289
- I say trust your--get one first.
- 00:04:36.289 --> 00:04:39.592
- And let that be--somebody says, what book do i read when
- 00:04:39.592 --> 00:04:42.729
- I get saved?
- 00:04:42.729 --> 00:04:44.063
- I say, hold on a minute.
- 00:04:44.063 --> 00:04:45.431
- The first thing you need to do when you get saved
- 00:04:45.431 --> 00:04:46.899
- Is get to know jesus.
- 00:04:46.899 --> 00:04:48.601
- Spend time in the word, spend time in prayer, spend time
- 00:04:48.601 --> 00:04:51.738
- With him.
- 00:04:51.738 --> 00:04:53.106
- And do that all over again and spend time with him and get to
- 00:04:53.106 --> 00:04:55.174
- Know him.
- 00:04:55.174 --> 00:04:56.509
- And then the first time you hear from god, it's amazing.
- 00:04:56.509 --> 00:04:58.644
- You hear from him in your heart.
- 00:04:58.644 --> 00:05:00.012
- You're, like, oh, i think i just heard from god, and that
- 00:05:00.012 --> 00:05:02.415
- Relationship continues to develop and develop.
- 00:05:02.415 --> 00:05:05.084
- It's not hard.
- 00:05:05.084 --> 00:05:06.452
- God knows how to connect with that relationship.
- 00:05:06.452 --> 00:05:09.055
- All you got to do is want him.
- 00:05:09.055 --> 00:05:10.656
- All you got to do is realize that he's real.
- 00:05:10.656 --> 00:05:13.126
- All you got to do have that ohh-ah moment in your life where
- 00:05:13.126 --> 00:05:16.662
- You're, like, god, i believe in you.
- 00:05:16.662 --> 00:05:18.030
- He will talk to you.
- 00:05:18.030 --> 00:05:19.365
- He'll talk to you on a dream.
- 00:05:19.365 --> 00:05:20.733
- He'll talk to you while you're driving your car.
- 00:05:20.733 --> 00:05:22.969
- It'll be something about a situation that you ain't feeling
- 00:05:22.969 --> 00:05:26.906
- It right now because god working with you, and he wants you to
- 00:05:26.906 --> 00:05:30.009
- Learn how to live that everyday life with him.
- 00:05:30.009 --> 00:05:32.845
- You shouldn't just have to be a prophet or a pastor or a teacher
- 00:05:32.845 --> 00:05:35.515
- To know i hear from god.
- 00:05:35.515 --> 00:05:36.849
- He said: "my sheep hear my voice," hallelujah.
- 00:05:36.849 --> 00:05:44.390
- And the sheep follow the shepherd for two reasons.
- 00:05:44.390 --> 00:05:47.126
- Number one, to be cared for and to be fed.
- 00:05:47.126 --> 00:05:50.863
- And god wants you to know he'll take care of you.
- 00:05:50.863 --> 00:05:54.500
- And at the end of the day, ladies and gentlemen, we ought
- 00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:57.203
- To be able to somewhat close the bible.
- 00:05:57.203 --> 00:05:59.472
- I said: "somewhat close the bible."
- 00:05:59.472 --> 00:06:01.841
- But we ought to have a relationship with jesus christ.
- 00:06:01.841 --> 00:06:03.976
- If they burned all the bibles in the world, it shouldn't affect
- 00:06:03.976 --> 00:06:06.312
- Us at all because we know him.
- 00:06:06.312 --> 00:06:10.683
- There come a time in your life you don't need the book no more
- 00:06:10.683 --> 00:06:14.187
- Because you got him, the author of the book.
- 00:06:14.187 --> 00:06:16.622
- Hey, glory to god, hallelujah.
- 00:06:16.622 --> 00:06:23.229
- Now don't go home and say: "pastor say we don't need the
- 00:06:23.229 --> 00:06:24.864
- Bible no more.
- 00:06:24.864 --> 00:06:28.234
- Yeah, pastor say i don't need the bible no more.
- 00:06:28.234 --> 00:06:30.136
- I'm tired of reading it anyway."
- 00:06:30.136 --> 00:06:31.471
- It ain't what i said.
- 00:06:31.471 --> 00:06:33.806
- Because in the beginning, it was a word, and the word with god
- 00:06:33.806 --> 00:06:35.875
- And the word was god, and thank god for it, kind of help us to
- 00:06:35.875 --> 00:06:38.478
- Get to know him.
- 00:06:38.478 --> 00:06:41.214
- But have you learned him yet?
- 00:06:41.214 --> 00:06:46.152
- I'm talking about personally, have you learned him?
- 00:06:46.152 --> 00:06:50.189
- Do you know his voice when he's speaking to you?
- 00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:53.192
- Or when you hear something, are you still saying: "is that god,
- 00:06:53.192 --> 00:06:56.662
- Is that the devil, or is that me?"
- 00:06:56.662 --> 00:07:00.967
- You need to quit that.
- 00:07:00.967 --> 00:07:02.468
- You need to know, that's god.
- 00:07:02.468 --> 00:07:06.506
- I tell you, if it's the devil and just you, you'll find out
- 00:07:06.506 --> 00:07:09.108
- Real quick.
- 00:07:09.108 --> 00:07:12.445
- But if it's god, you can tuck that away forever and say: "i
- 00:07:12.445 --> 00:07:16.983
- Know what it sounds like in my heart to hear and to be led by
- 00:07:16.983 --> 00:07:22.788
- The spirit."
- 00:07:22.788 --> 00:07:25.124
- We have all this interesting ways, brother rick, of people
- 00:07:25.124 --> 00:07:29.962
- Getting saved, you know, you gotta say that five times,
- 00:07:29.962 --> 00:07:32.565
- You gotta do that five times.
- 00:07:32.565 --> 00:07:33.966
- And i just went back to the scriptures just last night.
- 00:07:33.966 --> 00:07:36.002
- I was just inspired to do it.
- 00:07:36.002 --> 00:07:37.336
- I said, let me see what jesus say about getting saved.
- 00:07:37.336 --> 00:07:39.505
- He said: "born again."
- 00:07:39.505 --> 00:07:40.873
- He said: "how?"
- 00:07:40.873 --> 00:07:42.208
- By the spirit.
- 00:07:42.208 --> 00:07:43.576
- And he said: "you don't even know which way to go."
- 00:07:43.576 --> 00:07:47.113
- He said: "it's like the wind."
- 00:07:47.113 --> 00:07:49.815
- And then here we are trying to take away what he said about
- 00:07:49.815 --> 00:07:52.852
- Getting born again, and it's by the spirit of god, and then
- 00:07:52.852 --> 00:07:57.423
- We're telling folks: "you gotta say this kind of prayer, this
- 00:07:57.423 --> 00:07:59.792
- Kind of way, and it's gotta be said in a minute.
- 00:07:59.792 --> 00:08:02.528
- 'cause if you don't say it in one minute, it didn't take."
- 00:08:02.528 --> 00:08:06.132
- Ain't you tired of all that?
- 00:08:06.132 --> 00:08:07.466
- It's by the holy ghost.
- 00:08:07.466 --> 00:08:08.834
- You know what happens?
- 00:08:08.834 --> 00:08:10.169
- You realize that jesus is the lord, and then he comes into
- 00:08:10.169 --> 00:08:12.705
- Your heart, the holy spirit, and you're born again.
- 00:08:12.705 --> 00:08:15.441
- But we just got to have something that we can
- 00:08:15.441 --> 00:08:17.343
- Brag about.
- 00:08:17.343 --> 00:08:18.711
- We have 1300 people to get saved this morning in the prayer room.
- 00:08:18.711 --> 00:08:21.614
- How you know?
- 00:08:21.614 --> 00:08:22.949
- Thirteen-hundred people prayed the prayer of
- 00:08:22.949 --> 00:08:24.650
- Salvation, hallelujah.
- 00:08:24.650 --> 00:08:26.986
- Well, i mean, i ain't got no problem with that, but jesus
- 00:08:26.986 --> 00:08:29.322
- Didn't say, you're born again by saying the prayer of salvation.
- 00:08:29.322 --> 00:08:33.025
- Nicodemus came to him at nighttime.
- 00:08:33.025 --> 00:08:36.062
- And god was talking to him about that belly, that out of the--
- 00:08:36.062 --> 00:08:40.032
- Your belly that flows rivers of living water.
- 00:08:40.032 --> 00:08:44.337
- He said: "the spirit like the wind.
- 00:08:44.337 --> 00:08:45.838
- You don't know where it comes from or where it going through.
- 00:08:45.838 --> 00:08:48.240
- This is how a man is born again."
- 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.309
- And we ignore all that and apply our little stuff to it and use
- 00:08:50.309 --> 00:08:55.481
- It to condemn everybody if you didn't do it the way we said
- 00:08:55.481 --> 00:08:58.017
- To be doing it.
- 00:08:58.017 --> 00:09:02.121
- I know i got saved before i said the prayer.
- 00:09:02.121 --> 00:09:04.457
- Something happened to me.
- 00:09:04.457 --> 00:09:05.992
- Go back to the day you got--something happened on
- 00:09:05.992 --> 00:09:08.561
- The inside of me.
- 00:09:08.561 --> 00:09:09.895
- Something happened on the inside of me got it that led me
- 00:09:09.895 --> 00:09:13.566
- To the lord.
- 00:09:13.566 --> 00:09:14.934
- And i just didn't understand what was going on.
- 00:09:14.934 --> 00:09:16.268
- Thank god for the people that lead you to the lord.
- 00:09:16.268 --> 00:09:17.937
- Thank god to our prayer room.
- 00:09:17.937 --> 00:09:19.305
- They can give you understanding of what happened and all you're
- 00:09:19.305 --> 00:09:21.374
- Getting, get understanding.
- 00:09:21.374 --> 00:09:22.842
- But he was sitting there, you know, he was trying to get me,
- 00:09:22.842 --> 00:09:25.211
- He said: "write all your sins on this paper."
- 00:09:25.211 --> 00:09:28.514
- I said: "i ain't writing all my sins on my paper so you can
- 00:09:28.514 --> 00:09:31.484
- See it.
- 00:09:31.484 --> 00:09:32.852
- Write your sins on the paper.
- 00:09:32.852 --> 00:09:34.253
- You say, god know everything.'
- 00:09:34.253 --> 00:09:35.588
- Well, god done know what i did.
- 00:09:35.588 --> 00:09:36.956
- Now you don't need to be knowing everything i did."
- 00:09:36.956 --> 00:09:41.160
- We fussed about that for about 15 minutes.
- 00:09:41.160 --> 00:09:43.095
- He said: "let's just pretend like you've written on
- 00:09:43.095 --> 00:09:44.697
- The paper."
- 00:09:44.697 --> 00:09:46.032
- I said: "fine."
- 00:09:46.032 --> 00:09:47.400
- He said: "tear it up."
- 00:09:47.400 --> 00:09:48.734
- I said: "i tore it up."
- 00:09:48.734 --> 00:09:50.102
- And then he threw it to the right.
- 00:09:50.102 --> 00:09:51.437
- I'm trying to figure, why you throwing trash in my room
- 00:09:51.437 --> 00:09:52.905
- Like that, right?
- 00:09:52.905 --> 00:09:54.240
- He said: "that is how god does what your sin.
- 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:55.641
- He throws it as far as the east is from the west, and they never
- 00:09:55.641 --> 00:09:58.778
- Gonna come together."
- 00:09:58.778 --> 00:10:01.247
- And i knew he was in my heart before we prayed the prayer
- 00:10:01.247 --> 00:10:03.916
- Of salvation.
- 00:10:03.916 --> 00:10:06.018
- I said: "i got to have this jesus."
- 00:10:06.018 --> 00:10:10.056
- [speaking in tongues]
- 00:10:10.056 --> 00:10:14.794
- Remember joe clark on "lean on me?"
- 00:10:14.794 --> 00:10:17.963
- He said: "they can call me batman now," 'cause he got
- 00:10:17.963 --> 00:10:19.865
- That bat.
- 00:10:19.865 --> 00:10:22.835
- I just want people to be free.
- 00:10:22.835 --> 00:10:24.203
- I want you to be free, not careless, okay?
- 00:10:24.203 --> 00:10:28.074
- Not going out here and hearing what you wanna hear to justify
- 00:10:28.074 --> 00:10:31.010
- Your lack of disciplines in your life.
- 00:10:31.010 --> 00:10:33.846
- But i'm showing you that god has done greater things than you can
- 00:10:33.846 --> 00:10:38.317
- Even realize if you can accept it.
- 00:10:38.317 --> 00:10:42.655
- Now watch this.
- 00:10:42.655 --> 00:10:44.256
- I think that's enough because we're getting ready to enter
- 00:10:44.256 --> 00:10:46.025
- Into a little piece here that i think's gonna really amaze you.
- 00:10:46.025 --> 00:10:50.262
- Human effort has nothing to do with salvation, which is by
- 00:10:50.262 --> 00:10:53.299
- Grace through faith.
- 00:10:53.299 --> 00:10:55.034
- Now go with me to the book of romans chapter 3, verse 2 and 3.
- 00:10:55.034 --> 00:10:59.472
- I'm gonna show you this issue of, this faith we have,
- 00:10:59.472 --> 00:11:04.176
- It's a gift, it's a gift, it's a gift.
- 00:11:04.176 --> 00:11:06.512
- It didn't come by self effort or human effort.
- 00:11:06.512 --> 00:11:10.382
- Romans chapter 3, verses 2 through 3 in the nlt first and
- 00:11:10.382 --> 00:11:14.253
- Then in the mirror, romans 32 through 3 in the nlt and then in
- 00:11:14.253 --> 00:11:17.857
- The mirror.
- 00:11:17.857 --> 00:11:19.225
- All right, and i thought i would never see the day i would have
- 00:11:19.225 --> 00:11:26.232
- A device up here, preaching with a device.
- 00:11:26.232 --> 00:11:29.535
- Good lord, have mercy.
- 00:11:29.535 --> 00:11:30.903
- God is good, isn't he?
- 00:11:30.903 --> 00:11:34.473
- I got tired of carrying all them books, amen.
- 00:11:34.473 --> 00:11:39.545
- Romans chapter 3.
- 00:11:39.545 --> 00:11:41.781
- And now look at this, verse 2, wow.
- 00:11:41.781 --> 00:11:51.056
- Romans 3:2 in the nlt says: "yes, there are great benefits!
- 00:11:51.123 --> 00:11:55.161
- First of all, the jews were entrusted with the whole
- 00:11:55.161 --> 00:11:57.997
- Revelation of god."
- 00:11:57.997 --> 00:11:59.331
- Verse 3: "true, some of them were unfaithful; but just
- 00:11:59.331 --> 00:12:05.771
- Because they were unfaithful, does that mean that god will
- 00:12:05.771 --> 00:12:09.308
- Be unfaithful?"
- 00:12:09.308 --> 00:12:13.946
- Just 'cause they were unfaithful, does that mean that
- 00:12:13.946 --> 00:12:16.415
- God's gonna be unfaithful?
- 00:12:16.415 --> 00:12:19.485
- Huh, now look at this in the mirror real quick.
- 00:12:19.485 --> 00:12:27.326
- He says: "the jewish nation, entrusted with the messianic
- 00:12:27.326 --> 00:12:30.596
- Promise gives relevance and context to the entire prophetic
- 00:12:30.596 --> 00:12:36.368
- Conversation of god.
- 00:12:36.368 --> 00:12:38.938
- The question is, how does their failure to believe god affect
- 00:12:38.938 --> 00:12:44.610
- What god believes?"
- 00:12:44.610 --> 00:12:49.381
- How?
- 00:12:49.381 --> 00:12:51.483
- How can their failure, my god, did y'all see that?
- 00:12:51.483 --> 00:12:58.324
- "how does their failure to believe god affect what
- 00:12:58.324 --> 00:13:00.993
- God believes?"
- 00:13:00.993 --> 00:13:04.997
- So whether you believe god or not, it's not gonna change what
- 00:13:04.997 --> 00:13:08.133
- God believes about you.
- 00:13:08.133 --> 00:13:14.740
- What is it that god believes about you?
- 00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:16.408
- God believes that you're righteous.
- 00:13:16.408 --> 00:13:19.712
- God believes that you're whole.
- 00:13:19.712 --> 00:13:22.615
- Jesus is what god thinks about us.
- 00:13:22.615 --> 00:13:27.519
- God believes that you're redeemed.
- 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:31.190
- And your lack of belief still won't change what he believes
- 00:13:31.190 --> 00:13:35.327
- About you.
- 00:13:35.327 --> 00:13:37.663
- He believes you're saved.
- 00:13:37.663 --> 00:13:40.933
- He believes you're sound, yeah.
- 00:13:40.933 --> 00:13:44.770
- He believes you're rescued and righteous.
- 00:13:44.770 --> 00:13:49.008
- And some don't even believe it yet, but it ain't gonna change
- 00:13:49.008 --> 00:13:51.610
- What he believes.
- 00:13:51.610 --> 00:13:53.679
- Ooh, jesus, glory to god.
- 00:13:53.679 --> 00:14:00.452
- Look at this verse 3: "the question is, how does their
- 00:14:00.452 --> 00:14:04.156
- Failure to believe god affect what god believes?
- 00:14:04.156 --> 00:14:07.860
- It is impossible for their unbelief to compromise
- 00:14:07.860 --> 00:14:12.464
- God's faith!
- 00:14:12.464 --> 00:14:14.533
- It is impossible for our unbelief to compromise
- 00:14:14.533 --> 00:14:18.537
- God's faith!"
- 00:14:18.537 --> 00:14:19.905
- What we believe about god does not define him.
- 00:14:19.905 --> 00:14:23.509
- God's faith defines us.
- 00:14:23.509 --> 00:14:27.947
- What we believe about god doesn't define him, but god's
- 00:14:27.947 --> 00:14:32.851
- Faith defines us.
- 00:14:32.851 --> 00:14:35.087
- Oh, let's sit here for a minute till you get that.
- 00:14:35.087 --> 00:14:38.657
- His faith, done, complete, finish, defines us.
- 00:14:38.657 --> 00:14:46.765
- By his perfect faith, he says: "your righteousness is finished.
- 00:14:46.765 --> 00:14:52.171
- Your salvation is finished.
- 00:14:52.171 --> 00:14:54.373
- Your redemption is finished.
- 00:14:54.373 --> 00:14:56.976
- Everything that you'll ever need is finished.
- 00:14:56.976 --> 00:15:00.245
- You are defined by the finished faith that i have for you.
- 00:15:00.245 --> 00:15:08.220
- Your faith won't change me, but my faith defines you."
- 00:15:08.220 --> 00:15:17.663
- His faith defines me.
- 00:15:17.663 --> 00:15:22.368
- So i gotta find out what the definition of his faith.
- 00:15:22.368 --> 00:15:26.505
- His faith is my victory is done, my healing is done, my salvation
- 00:15:26.505 --> 00:15:32.878
- Is done, my righteousness is done, my provisions finished,
- 00:15:32.878 --> 00:15:39.918
- Happy life, done.
- 00:15:39.918 --> 00:15:42.654
- If you're challenged overcoming it, done.
- 00:15:42.654 --> 00:15:45.991
- He says: "my faith defines you.
- 00:15:45.991 --> 00:15:51.764
- Your faith doesn't change me."
- 00:15:51.764 --> 00:15:56.702
- So your faith won't, oh lord, hold on, what did--[
- 00:15:56.702 --> 00:16:01.373
- Speaking in tongues]
- 00:16:01.373 --> 00:16:06.111
- I don't know if y'all ready for that.
- 00:16:06.111 --> 00:16:09.515
- No, you ain't--no, come on, you ain't ready.
- 00:16:09.515 --> 00:16:13.152
- Come on, you won't even come back here no more, and come
- 00:16:13.152 --> 00:16:15.220
- On here.
- 00:16:15.220 --> 00:16:18.190
- God's faith defines me.
- 00:16:18.190 --> 00:16:22.528
- That's not how we got it.
- 00:16:22.528 --> 00:16:26.965
- We got it, it was all about our faith moving god.
- 00:16:26.965 --> 00:16:31.303
- It was not about god's faith defining me.
- 00:16:31.303 --> 00:16:36.075
- I am the righteousness of god.
- 00:16:36.075 --> 00:16:40.746
- Even when i'm not doing right, i'm defined by his faith as
- 00:16:40.746 --> 00:16:46.452
- Being the righteousness of god.
- 00:16:46.452 --> 00:16:48.554
- I'm not defined by my actions, i'm defined by his faith.
- 00:16:48.554 --> 00:16:52.091
- He has defined me.
- 00:16:52.091 --> 00:16:55.594
- Oh lord, have mercy.
- 00:16:55.594 --> 00:16:58.230
- What does that do? what does that do?
- 00:16:58.230 --> 00:17:00.933
- You wake up in the morning and you stop struggling with your
- 00:17:00.933 --> 00:17:04.303
- Behavior and you start focusing on how you've been defined by
- 00:17:04.303 --> 00:17:08.674
- God and now your behavior starts changing because the definition
- 00:17:08.674 --> 00:17:12.744
- Is getting in your heart and you are realizing, why am i trying
- 00:17:12.744 --> 00:17:17.049
- To accomplish the definition that he's already finished and
- 00:17:17.049 --> 00:17:21.320
- Accomplishing me.
- 00:17:21.320 --> 00:17:22.688
- So i start celebrating my definition, which is
- 00:17:22.688 --> 00:17:26.291
- My identity.
- 00:17:26.291 --> 00:17:33.098
- That's all right, this is the last teaching on this when we
- 00:17:37.336 --> 00:17:39.338
- Get back to daniel and lion's den, and start talking to you
- 00:17:39.338 --> 00:17:45.344
- About how you need to prayer, you need to pray, praying,
- 00:17:45.344 --> 00:17:48.413
- You ain't right because you ain't praying.
- 00:17:48.413 --> 00:17:50.582
- If you would pray more, then god would do more.
- 00:17:50.582 --> 00:17:53.752
- But see god done already did what he gonna do, and he just
- 00:17:53.752 --> 00:17:58.323
- Waiting on you to agree and celebrate with what he's
- 00:17:58.323 --> 00:18:01.126
- Already done.
- 00:18:01.126 --> 00:18:02.528
- And you keep--you've made your christian life all about what
- 00:18:02.528 --> 00:18:06.665
- You need to do to move god.
- 00:18:06.665 --> 00:18:08.634
- And god, like: "first of all, you can't move me.
- 00:18:08.634 --> 00:18:13.672
- You can't move me.
- 00:18:13.672 --> 00:18:15.040
- I'm all that.
- 00:18:15.040 --> 00:18:16.375
- I'm that man.
- 00:18:16.375 --> 00:18:17.743
- I'm that guy.
- 00:18:17.743 --> 00:18:19.077
- Excuse me, you're not a man in your life.
- 00:18:19.077 --> 00:18:22.080
- Who do you think you are?
- 00:18:22.080 --> 00:18:24.449
- The dude made all of the universe and the milky way is
- 00:18:24.449 --> 00:18:31.590
- A solar system that's so small, they look like a dust ball,
- 00:18:31.590 --> 00:18:35.694
- And you.
- 00:18:35.694 --> 00:18:39.531
- So if the milky way look like a dust ball, i don't even know--if
- 00:18:39.531 --> 00:18:47.539
- Wasn't for god, you wouldn't even be seen.
- 00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:49.374
- You'd be like little micro ants.
- 00:18:49.374 --> 00:18:58.483
- All right, galatians 2.
- 00:18:58.483 --> 00:19:01.887
- That's heavy, y'all, right there.
- 00:19:01.887 --> 00:19:03.422
- God defines me.
- 00:19:03.422 --> 00:19:07.426
- God defines me, dude.
- 00:19:07.426 --> 00:19:09.161
- God defines me.
- 00:19:09.161 --> 00:19:10.495
- [speaking in tongues]
- 00:19:10.495 --> 00:19:11.897
- God defines me. god defines me.
- 00:19:11.897 --> 00:19:17.836
- Ooh, god defines me.
- 00:19:17.836 --> 00:19:24.876
- And what i do won't change him.
- 00:19:28.046 --> 00:19:34.720
- He started off loving you.
- 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:36.755
- I don't care how much crazier you get.
- 00:19:36.755 --> 00:19:38.557
- You're crazy ain't gonna ever change him.
- 00:19:38.557 --> 00:19:41.493
- So don't let the devil put this in your head, i don't think god
- 00:19:41.493 --> 00:19:44.196
- Love me no more.
- 00:19:44.196 --> 00:19:45.530
- That is a demonic thought because your behavior can't
- 00:19:45.530 --> 00:19:50.168
- Change him.
