  • 00:01:57.564 --> 00:02:01.401
  • Creflo: listen, i--a spiritual son of mine died years ago.
  • 00:02:03.403 --> 00:02:11.744
  • And i went and i said, "well, i'm just gonna raise him from
  • 00:02:11.744 --> 00:02:13.780
  • The dead."
  • 00:02:13.780 --> 00:02:15.114
  • Now, i'm gonna compare that to when one person was raised with
  • 00:02:15.114 --> 00:02:20.753
  • Nothing, and me trying to do it with works.
  • 00:02:20.753 --> 00:02:27.126
  • So i was in alabama and i told 'em, i said, "go get--i wanna
  • 00:02:27.126 --> 00:02:31.197
  • See the body."
  • 00:02:31.197 --> 00:02:32.565
  • They said, "the body ain't ready yet."
  • 00:02:32.565 --> 00:02:33.933
  • I said, "bring it on out anyway."
  • 00:02:33.933 --> 00:02:37.036
  • And i had george with me.
  • 00:02:37.036 --> 00:02:38.805
  • He was like, "what the--world are we doing?"
  • 00:02:38.805 --> 00:02:42.875
  • Dead body came in, and i was--i was working--i was working
  • 00:02:42.875 --> 00:02:48.181
  • My faith.
  • 00:02:48.181 --> 00:02:49.515
  • I said, "in the name of jesus, rise up," just like they did in
  • 00:02:49.515 --> 00:02:54.487
  • Elijah's day, just like they did.
  • 00:02:54.487 --> 00:02:56.055
  • But see, and, and, "rise up."
  • 00:02:56.055 --> 00:03:00.660
  • I ain't seeing it.
  • 00:03:00.660 --> 00:03:01.995
  • I gotta add something to it.
  • 00:03:01.995 --> 00:03:03.363
  • I keep trying to...[speaking in tongues]
  • 00:03:03.363 --> 00:03:08.201
  • Like, you feel more powerful when you say something you don't
  • 00:03:08.201 --> 00:03:10.436
  • Know what you saying.
  • 00:03:10.436 --> 00:03:11.804
  • "[speaking in tongues]
  • 00:03:11.804 --> 00:03:13.139
  • Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
  • 00:03:13.139 --> 00:03:15.008
  • Get up."
  • 00:03:15.008 --> 00:03:16.376
  • Still didn't get up.
  • 00:03:16.376 --> 00:03:19.145
  • I ain't laid my hands right.
  • 00:03:19.145 --> 00:03:20.747
  • Not enough oil.
  • 00:03:20.747 --> 00:03:22.315
  • This dead body sitting in there.
  • 00:03:22.315 --> 00:03:23.683
  • I got oil all on the dead body, hands all over...
  • 00:03:23.683 --> 00:03:27.253
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:03:27.253 --> 00:03:29.422
  • He didn't get up.
  • 00:03:32.892 --> 00:03:36.029
  • I said, "well, praise the lord, that's it."
  • 00:03:36.029 --> 00:03:37.664
  • And george was like, "well, what happened?"
  • 00:03:37.664 --> 00:03:39.198
  • I said, "i don't know, come on, let's go."
  • 00:03:39.198 --> 00:03:44.137
  • Versus i was staying with my pastor, bishop cl carter.
  • 00:03:48.274 --> 00:03:55.982
  • And we were like the two night watchmen.
  • 00:03:55.982 --> 00:04:00.353
  • He called, he said, "son, we gotta go, right quick.
  • 00:04:00.353 --> 00:04:03.556
  • Get dressed."
  • 00:04:03.556 --> 00:04:05.425
  • Got dressing, we're driving about 3, 4 o'clock in the
  • 00:04:05.425 --> 00:04:07.927
  • Morning to east point, georgia.
  • 00:04:07.927 --> 00:04:11.064
  • We need to pray for somebody.
  • 00:04:11.064 --> 00:04:12.398
  • And i'm thinking, "pray for somebody at 3 or 4 o'clock in
  • 00:04:12.398 --> 00:04:14.500
  • The morning?
  • 00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:15.835
  • Can't they wait till tomorrow?"
  • 00:04:15.835 --> 00:04:17.704
  • He knew stuff, but he didn't tell me.
  • 00:04:17.704 --> 00:04:21.307
  • So i walked in and there was this guy on a hospital bed.
  • 00:04:21.307 --> 00:04:27.447
  • And he had the oxygen thing up his nose and everything, but you
  • 00:04:27.447 --> 00:04:32.251
  • Know, you can see when you're breathing.
  • 00:04:32.251 --> 00:04:34.754
  • And i walked in and pastor carter said, "pray, son."
  • 00:04:34.754 --> 00:04:39.158
  • I'm thinking, "what is going on here?"
  • 00:04:39.158 --> 00:04:42.295
  • So i laid my hands on him.
  • 00:04:42.295 --> 00:04:43.629
  • When i laid my hands on him i'm like, "oh, he cold, y'all.
  • 00:04:43.629 --> 00:04:46.265
  • Might wanna turn the heat on or something."
  • 00:04:46.265 --> 00:04:48.000
  • And i prayed a strange prayer.
  • 00:04:51.270 --> 00:04:53.005
  • I said, "lord, we release and receive your anointing to remove
  • 00:04:53.005 --> 00:04:58.811
  • Burdens and destroy yokes."
  • 00:04:58.811 --> 00:05:02.115
  • And a few seconds later, he started coughing.
  • 00:05:02.115 --> 00:05:07.286
  • And he grabbed the mask, put it off.
  • 00:05:07.286 --> 00:05:09.021
  • "hallelujah, hallelujah."
  • 00:05:09.021 --> 00:05:11.624
  • Then his mama was standing by the bed, she fainted.
  • 00:05:11.624 --> 00:05:15.461
  • And he had a uncle in the room who was drunk.
  • 00:05:15.461 --> 00:05:19.298
  • That boy sobered up and came up and tapped me in the back of the
  • 00:05:19.298 --> 00:05:22.335
  • Shoulder saying, "i wanna be saved."
  • 00:05:22.335 --> 00:05:24.337
  • And the whole time i'm think, "this is the weirdest family.
  • 00:05:28.307 --> 00:05:31.844
  • What in the world is going on?
  • 00:05:31.844 --> 00:05:34.480
  • I'm woke--when i woke this man up.
  • 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.116
  • And she fell out.
  • 00:05:37.116 --> 00:05:38.651
  • What she fall out for?
  • 00:05:38.651 --> 00:05:40.686
  • And he talking about he wanna get saved."
  • 00:05:40.686 --> 00:05:43.089
  • So when i got in the car, i said, "pastor carter, explain
  • 00:05:43.089 --> 00:05:46.893
  • All that."
  • 00:05:46.893 --> 00:05:48.227
  • He said, "all right, son.
  • 00:05:48.227 --> 00:05:51.230
  • I didn't get a call for somebody, you know, will you
  • 00:05:51.230 --> 00:05:53.633
  • Come and pray, but in addition to that, they said he dead."
  • 00:05:53.633 --> 00:05:59.405
  • I said, "oh."
  • 00:05:59.405 --> 00:06:01.441
  • I said, "what?"
  • 00:06:04.844 --> 00:06:06.412
  • I said, "but he--" "son, he was dead.
  • 00:06:06.412 --> 00:06:09.682
  • The reason why he was cold, because he was dead."
  • 00:06:09.682 --> 00:06:14.187
  • So i just figured out as long as i don't know you're dead,
  • 00:06:14.187 --> 00:06:16.589
  • I might--we might be able to do something.
  • 00:06:16.589 --> 00:06:20.960
  • You see the difference?
  • 00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:22.562
  • In one case i'm trying to work my faith.
  • 00:06:22.562 --> 00:06:29.302
  • In the other case, i'd already received what faith and grace
  • 00:06:29.302 --> 00:06:35.007
  • Had made available.
  • 00:06:35.007 --> 00:06:43.449
  • Oh yes, lord.
  • 00:06:43.449 --> 00:06:45.618
  • I ain't even started my sermon for today, but i'm--yeah, so
  • 00:06:45.618 --> 00:06:52.058
  • This past week, i don't know if i said this to you when i was
  • 00:06:52.058 --> 00:06:55.127
  • Working out.
  • 00:06:55.127 --> 00:06:57.263
  • If your faith is not at rest,
  • 00:06:57.263 --> 00:07:04.537
  • Then your faith is not at work.
  • 00:07:04.537 --> 00:07:12.078
  • Now what do i mean by that?
  • 00:07:12.078 --> 00:07:13.446
  • Go to hebrews chapter 4 and verse 10 and 11.
  • 00:07:13.446 --> 00:07:19.519
  • Hebrews chapter 4.
  • 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:20.853
  • Lord, i just give you praise.
  • 00:07:20.853 --> 00:07:22.255
  • And the reason why i'm giving him praise is because in, you
  • 00:07:22.255 --> 00:07:24.724
  • Know, i got everything all wrote out what i was gonna be talking
  • 00:07:24.724 --> 00:07:27.126
  • About and stuff like that and then in the back room, he says,
  • 00:07:27.126 --> 00:07:29.262
  • "i don't want you to start there.
  • 00:07:29.262 --> 00:07:30.630
  • Start here, because the glory is about to increase in
  • 00:07:30.630 --> 00:07:34.300
  • Your house."
  • 00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:36.536
  • I said, manifestations of the promises of god are about to
  • 00:07:36.536 --> 00:07:41.541
  • Increase in your house.
  • 00:07:41.541 --> 00:07:42.875
  • Now, now, now watch this.
  • 00:07:42.875 --> 00:07:44.243
  • This is very important.
  • 00:07:44.243 --> 00:07:45.778
  • "for he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from
  • 00:07:45.778 --> 00:07:53.753
  • His own works, as god did from his."
  • 00:07:53.753 --> 00:08:01.193
  • All right, now, now before you go to 11, go to verse 1.
  • 00:08:01.193 --> 00:08:04.630
  • Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.
  • 00:08:04.630 --> 00:08:08.801
  • Oh my goodness.
  • 00:08:08.801 --> 00:08:10.903
  • "let us therefore fear, lest, any promise--any promise being
  • 00:08:10.903 --> 00:08:16.142
  • Left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to
  • 00:08:16.142 --> 00:08:24.684
  • Come short of it."
  • 00:08:24.684 --> 00:08:28.154
  • Verse 2: "for unto us was the gospel preached."
  • 00:08:28.154 --> 00:08:35.695
  • I am preaching the good news of christ to you right now, "as
  • 00:08:35.695 --> 00:08:41.067
  • Well as unto them was it preached."
  • 00:08:41.067 --> 00:08:43.102
  • So what was the problem?
  • 00:08:43.102 --> 00:08:44.570
  • Why didn't they see the promise?
  • 00:08:44.570 --> 00:08:47.873
  • "but the word preached did not profit them."
  • 00:08:47.873 --> 00:08:52.278
  • How many of you have experienced that?
  • 00:08:52.278 --> 00:08:53.779
  • "the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed
  • 00:08:53.779 --> 00:08:59.385
  • With faith in them that heard it."
  • 00:08:59.385 --> 00:09:06.359
  • Because the promises are given by grace, but faith is a gift.
  • 00:09:06.359 --> 00:09:13.666
  • Now go to verse 11, before i make this statement.
  • 00:09:13.666 --> 00:09:17.703
  • Is everybody on the bus?
  • 00:09:17.703 --> 00:09:23.342
  • "let us labor therefore to enter into that rest."
  • 00:09:23.342 --> 00:09:30.683
  • You're not supposed to labor to get healed.
  • 00:09:30.683 --> 00:09:33.486
  • You're not supposed to labor to get delivered.
  • 00:09:33.486 --> 00:09:36.155
  • You're not supposed to labor to get rich.
  • 00:09:36.155 --> 00:09:38.824
  • You're not supposed to labor to get sound.
  • 00:09:38.824 --> 00:09:43.295
  • There's only one thing we should be laboring to do.
  • 00:09:43.295 --> 00:09:47.867
  • "we should therefore labor to enter into that rest."
  • 00:09:47.867 --> 00:09:53.439
  • The labor to rest.
  • 00:09:53.439 --> 00:09:56.008
  • You know what your faith--you should be at--your faith should
  • 00:09:56.008 --> 00:09:59.145
  • Be resting.
  • 00:09:59.145 --> 00:10:00.513
  • Oh, glory to god.
  • 00:10:00.513 --> 00:10:02.281
  • Your faith should not be working, it should be resting.
  • 00:10:02.281 --> 00:10:05.918
  • What should your faith be resting in?
  • 00:10:05.918 --> 00:10:07.787
  • Watch this, this is so good.
  • 00:10:07.787 --> 00:10:09.588
  • Your faith should be resting in the love of god.
  • 00:10:09.588 --> 00:10:14.727
  • You know that god loves you and because god loves you, he will
  • 00:10:14.727 --> 00:10:18.798
  • Do what he said.
  • 00:10:18.798 --> 00:10:20.166
  • Because god loves you, he will heal you.
  • 00:10:20.166 --> 00:10:22.635
  • Because god loves you, he will deliver you and the bible says
  • 00:10:22.635 --> 00:10:26.005
  • That faith worketh by love.
  • 00:10:26.005 --> 00:10:28.674
  • And so my faith rests in the love of god.
  • 00:10:28.674 --> 00:10:32.478
  • Because he loves me, i know i have the promise.
  • 00:10:32.478 --> 00:10:35.014
  • Because he loves me, i know i have what grace has.
  • 00:10:35.014 --> 00:10:38.551
  • And so every time i wonder, am i gonna get this, i say to myself,
  • 00:10:38.551 --> 00:10:42.254
  • God loves me.
  • 00:10:42.254 --> 00:10:43.656
  • That's how i know that this too shall come to pass.
  • 00:10:43.656 --> 00:10:48.761
  • I don't know why i'm not healed now.
  • 00:10:48.761 --> 00:10:50.529
  • I don't know why the money ain't came yet.
  • 00:10:50.529 --> 00:10:52.364
  • I don't know why i lost my job.
  • 00:10:52.364 --> 00:10:54.033
  • I don't know none of this, but i know god loves me and because
  • 00:10:54.033 --> 00:10:57.236
  • God loves me, i have faith.
  • 00:10:57.236 --> 00:10:59.472
  • I can receive what he said.
  • 00:10:59.472 --> 00:11:01.240
  • I can enter into that rest, so i'm gonna chill out.
  • 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:04.210
  • I'm gonna stop struggling.
  • 00:11:04.210 --> 00:11:05.644
  • I'm gonna quit doing all of this stuff to see if i can make god
  • 00:11:05.644 --> 00:11:08.581
  • Do what he's already done.
  • 00:11:08.581 --> 00:11:10.382
  • I'm not gonna labor to get rich, labor to get healed, labor to
  • 00:11:10.382 --> 00:11:14.253
  • Get delivered.
  • 00:11:14.253 --> 00:11:15.588
  • I am gonna labor to enter into that rest and if your faith is
  • 00:11:15.588 --> 00:11:19.158
  • Not at rest, it is not at work.
  • 00:11:19.158 --> 00:11:23.496
  • But your faith will work when you're at rest.
  • 00:11:23.496 --> 00:11:30.002
  • You gotta rest like god rested on that last day.
  • 00:11:30.002 --> 00:11:34.907
  • But what have we been doing?
  • 00:11:34.907 --> 00:11:36.742
  • Working our faith.
  • 00:11:36.742 --> 00:11:41.447
  • We've been working our faith.
  • 00:11:41.447 --> 00:11:45.384
  • Like a carpenter uses a tool, you use faith.
  • 00:11:45.384 --> 00:11:48.687
  • No, you don't.
  • 00:11:48.687 --> 00:11:52.158
  • Your faith should be at rest.
  • 00:11:50.823 --> 00:11:57.630
  • And when it is at rest, or excuse me, when you're at rest,
  • 00:11:57.630 --> 00:12:02.601
  • Of course when you're at rest, then your faith is at work.
  • 00:12:02.601 --> 00:12:08.307
  • Rest, rest.
  • 00:12:08.307 --> 00:12:10.276
  • When you're at rest, your faith is at work.
  • 00:12:10.276 --> 00:12:14.713
  • The problem is, is self-effort tries to work faith
  • 00:12:14.713 --> 00:12:24.723
  • In you, it's a gift.
  • 00:12:24.723 --> 00:12:27.426
  • You can work all day long, but if i hadn't decided to give you
  • 00:12:27.426 --> 00:12:29.595
  • A gift, if i do give you something, that's 'cause i feel
  • 00:12:29.595 --> 00:12:34.166
  • Guilty because you've been working.
  • 00:12:34.166 --> 00:12:40.172
  • We've been on the west coast all week and, you know, we stayed at
  • 00:12:40.172 --> 00:12:48.314
  • This place, the last place we were at.
  • 00:12:48.314 --> 00:12:52.618
  • And my heart goes out when i see older people, people having
  • 00:12:52.618 --> 00:12:55.221
  • To work.
  • 00:12:55.221 --> 00:12:57.523
  • That should be their golden ages, but 75, you having to get
  • 00:12:57.523 --> 00:13:03.629
  • A job.
  • 00:13:03.629 --> 00:13:06.699
  • And so this lady was our waitress and she was just
  • 00:13:06.699 --> 00:13:11.003
  • Moving around.
  • 00:13:11.003 --> 00:13:12.338
  • I thought, "man, this lady blessed.
  • 00:13:12.338 --> 00:13:13.706
  • She got movement.
  • 00:13:13.706 --> 00:13:15.040
  • Everyday she moving."
  • 00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:16.408
  • And she was so gracious and so kind.
  • 00:13:16.408 --> 00:13:20.112
  • And the lord said, every time you see her, give her $100 tip.
  • 00:13:20.112 --> 00:13:27.853
  • First 100 i gave to her, she said, "is this for me?"
  • 00:13:27.853 --> 00:13:32.491
  • I said, "yes, ma'am, that's for you."
  • 00:13:32.491 --> 00:13:33.859
  • She said, "all of it?"
  • 00:13:33.859 --> 00:13:37.029
  • Yes, ma'am, all of it.
  • 00:13:37.029 --> 00:13:38.364
  • It's all for you, yeah.
  • 00:13:38.364 --> 00:13:39.732
  • She said--and then she was so happy she started--she was
  • 00:13:39.732 --> 00:13:44.069
  • Trying to preach but she didn't have nothing to say.
  • 00:13:44.069 --> 00:13:48.040
  • What i mean, she would say, "you know, we're all one and you're
  • 00:13:48.040 --> 00:13:50.943
  • All a part of me and i'm all a part of you," and i'm like, "i
  • 00:13:50.943 --> 00:13:53.078
  • Ain't--don't know if i'm all a part of you and all that other
  • 00:13:53.078 --> 00:13:55.314
  • Kind of stuff, but--" my point was just receive.
  • 00:13:55.314 --> 00:14:02.588
  • Some of us can learn a lesson.
  • 00:14:02.588 --> 00:14:04.323
  • Sometimes you need to learn vocabulary of silence.
  • 00:14:04.323 --> 00:14:05.991
  • Just when somebody gifts you with some, just receive.
  • 00:14:05.991 --> 00:14:10.429
  • 'cause we still got guilt working on us.
  • 00:14:10.429 --> 00:14:12.765
  • "oh, they bought me some for christmas, i didn't buy them
  • 00:14:12.765 --> 00:14:15.000
  • None for christmas."
  • 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.335
  • All right, what they gave you was a gift.
  • 00:14:16.335 --> 00:14:18.070
  • What you're giving them is wages.
  • 00:14:18.070 --> 00:14:25.644
  • Our faith--we didn't have it at rest with us.
  • 00:14:25.644 --> 00:14:31.050
  • We won't chill out and say, "i receive this.
  • 00:14:31.050 --> 00:14:34.186
  • And i labor to stay at rest."
  • 00:14:34.186 --> 00:14:37.356
  • Why do i have to labor to stay at rest?
  • 00:14:37.356 --> 00:14:39.358
  • Next day i don't see nothing.
  • 00:14:39.358 --> 00:14:41.126
  • I'm still resting and i believe you, lord.
  • 00:14:41.126 --> 00:14:43.562
  • Next day i don't feel no different.
  • 00:14:43.562 --> 00:14:45.230
  • Lord, i just, i just, i'm laboring to stay at rest.
  • 00:14:45.230 --> 00:14:47.666
  • I sing a song to stay at rest.
  • 00:14:47.666 --> 00:14:49.268
  • I listen to a sermon to stay at rest.
  • 00:14:49.268 --> 00:14:51.537
  • I call on somebody and testify to stay at rest.
  • 00:14:51.537 --> 00:14:53.939
  • I'm laboring to stay at rest.
  • 00:14:53.939 --> 00:14:56.342
  • That's why god can do more with us when we're asleep, because we
  • 00:14:56.342 --> 00:15:04.850
  • And our work is out of the way.
  • 00:15:04.850 --> 00:15:09.021
  • Sweet sleep.
  • 00:15:09.021 --> 00:15:10.956
  • And the bible says he gives to us in our sleep, when we're
  • 00:15:10.956 --> 00:15:17.696
  • At rest.
  • 00:15:17.696 --> 00:15:19.498
  • When we are at rest, god will be at his best.
  • 00:15:19.498 --> 00:15:25.738
  • But we're still trying to go and figure out how to work
  • 00:15:25.738 --> 00:15:31.910
  • Our faith.
  • 00:15:31.910 --> 00:15:34.413
  • We need to, i need to work my faith.
  • 00:15:34.413 --> 00:15:37.316
  • And if somebody happens to die, it's your fault 'cause you
  • 00:15:37.316 --> 00:15:40.686
  • Didn't work your faith enough.
  • 00:15:40.686 --> 00:15:42.054
  • That's just ridiculous.
  • 00:15:42.054 --> 00:15:44.556
  • You know how condemning that is?
  • 00:15:44.556 --> 00:15:47.126
  • You know how painful that is?
  • 00:15:47.126 --> 00:15:49.461
  • That somebody died and the weight of that situation was put
  • 00:15:49.461 --> 00:15:53.732
  • On you because you didn't have enough faith.
  • 00:15:53.732 --> 00:15:59.905
  • Sometimes life happens.
  • 00:15:59.905 --> 00:16:02.474
  • It happens and i don't pretend to know why it happens but it
  • 00:16:02.474 --> 00:16:06.245
  • Doesn't happen because you didn't have enough faith.
  • 00:16:06.245 --> 00:16:10.449
  • It's amazing to me that the bible says that no man comes to
  • 00:16:10.449 --> 00:16:13.018
  • The father unless he's drawn by me.
  • 00:16:13.018 --> 00:16:17.790
  • I was like, even your salvation wasn't really all you.
  • 00:16:17.790 --> 00:16:23.729
  • 'cause there's some people just ain't ready to get saved yet,
  • 00:16:23.729 --> 00:16:25.697
  • But god working on them, and when that time comes, he will
  • 00:16:25.697 --> 00:16:28.767
  • Draw you.
  • 00:16:28.767 --> 00:16:30.502
  • He will draw you and bother you in between all the times and
  • 00:16:30.502 --> 00:16:34.239
  • Work on you, but when the time comes, you--he'll draw you.
  • 00:16:34.239 --> 00:16:37.576
  • You gonna want him and god knows how to get you to want him.
  • 00:16:37.576 --> 00:16:44.950
  • So every last one of us who got saved, we were drawn, we were
  • 00:16:44.950 --> 00:16:49.488
  • Drawn by the spirit of god.
  • 00:16:49.488 --> 00:16:50.856
  • Go back and look at your life.
  • 00:16:50.856 --> 00:16:52.191
  • You were drawn by the spirit of god.
  • 00:16:52.191 --> 00:16:53.592
  • The only other way you came to god was through the hell gate
  • 00:16:53.592 --> 00:16:59.364
  • Of fear.
  • 00:16:59.364 --> 00:17:01.900
  • I got saved 'cause i didn't want to go to hell.
  • 00:17:01.900 --> 00:17:10.242
  • What we are about to do this month is to prepare you for the
  • 00:17:10.242 --> 00:17:14.813
  • Greatest outpouring of god's glory and manifestation.
  • 00:17:14.813 --> 00:17:20.185
  • And it requires a gang of people to just say, "i'm ready to hear
  • 00:17:20.185 --> 00:17:27.292
  • And learn."
  • 00:17:27.292 --> 00:17:30.162
  • Not spending your time trying to pick my life apart or pick this
  • 00:17:30.162 --> 00:17:35.701
  • Church apart or--just let me hear because "faith cometh,"
  • 00:17:35.701 --> 00:17:45.110
  • Romans 10:17, "by hearing," watch this, "and hearing by the
  • 00:17:45.110 --> 00:17:51.650
  • Word," king james translation, "of god."
  • 00:17:51.650 --> 00:17:54.820
  • The actual translation is, "faith cometh by hearing the
  • 00:17:54.820 --> 00:17:58.223
  • Word of christ."
  • 00:17:58.223 --> 00:18:00.292
  • Because if it's just hearing the word of god, then you go back
  • 00:18:00.292 --> 00:18:02.995
  • And you can say, "by hearing the law, faith cometh."
  • 00:18:02.995 --> 00:18:06.598
  • But you don't need faith to operate by law.
  • 00:18:06.598 --> 00:18:09.601
  • So faith cometh by hearing the words of christ.
  • 00:18:09.601 --> 00:18:13.572
  • The words of christ, the word of redemption, the word of
  • 00:18:13.572 --> 00:18:16.608
  • Righteousness, the word of grace.
  • 00:18:16.608 --> 00:18:19.411
  • As you hear that, faith comes.
  • 00:18:19.411 --> 00:18:21.914
  • It comes by hearing this gospel of grace.
  • 00:18:21.914 --> 00:18:24.349
  • And do you know the thousands of people that left the church
  • 00:18:24.349 --> 00:18:26.818
  • Because they say, i don't agree with that grace message.
  • 00:18:26.818 --> 00:18:30.722
  • And i've had a chance to visit some of those lives and i'm
  • 00:18:30.722 --> 00:18:33.225
  • Like, "wow, if you could have just hung in there."
  • 00:18:33.225 --> 00:18:42.801
  • The glory is coming to your house.
  • 00:18:42.801 --> 00:18:46.672
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:18:46.672 --> 00:18:51.410
  • And not of yourselves.
  • 00:18:51.410 --> 00:18:54.213
  • God wants you to share in his glory.
  • 00:18:54.213 --> 00:19:03.422
  • And what happens?
  • 00:19:03.422 --> 00:19:05.390
  • Your relatives gonna see it.
  • 00:19:05.390 --> 00:19:08.227
  • Your coworkers gonna see it.
  • 00:19:08.227 --> 00:19:11.597
  • Your enemies are gonna see it.
  • 00:19:11.597 --> 00:19:15.033
  • And god is gonna use his glory to draw people unto him.
  • 00:19:15.033 --> 00:19:23.909
  • "well, what's the difference between that church and what's
  • 00:19:23.909 --> 00:19:25.377
  • The difference with the dean that and just being with them
  • 00:19:25.377 --> 00:19:26.912
  • People, you know, we were all christians the same."
  • 00:19:26.912 --> 00:19:28.914
  • No, no, no, don't put me in that ghetto.
  • 00:19:28.914 --> 00:19:30.349
  • No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
  • 00:19:30.349 --> 00:19:32.918
  • The glory, the glory.
  • 00:19:32.918 --> 00:19:35.254
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:19:35.254 --> 00:19:37.689
  • That you can't boast about unless you're boasting about the
  • 00:19:37.689 --> 00:19:42.060
  • Giver of the glory.
  • 00:19:42.060 --> 00:19:43.629
  • You can't boast about it.
  • 00:19:43.629 --> 00:19:48.800
  • You can't boast about it.
  • 00:19:48.800 --> 00:19:51.503
  • You can't boast about it.
  • 00:19:51.503 --> 00:19:56.775
  • The devil will do everything he can to try to stop this message.
  • 00:19:53.772 --> 00:20:04.116
  • But i'm, i'm, i'm cool.
  • 00:20:04.116 --> 00:20:05.484
  • I feel good.
  • 00:20:05.484 --> 00:20:07.085
  • I'm delivered from people.
  • 00:20:07.085 --> 00:20:09.388
  • I'm delivered from approval addiction.
  • 00:20:09.388 --> 00:20:13.492
  • And i don't mind being vulnerable with my church
  • 00:20:13.492 --> 00:20:17.663
  • Congregation or whoever visited in here, vulnerability is no
  • 00:20:17.663 --> 00:20:22.067
  • Longer a fear in my life, but a power in my life.
  • 00:20:22.067 --> 00:20:31.276
  • How you--i feel like it's a power.
  • 00:20:31.276 --> 00:20:33.211
  • If i can share some of taffi's and our experiences with you,
  • 00:20:33.211 --> 00:20:37.949
  • Hopefully it'll give you some hope to say, whoa, they were
  • 00:20:37.949 --> 00:20:41.687
  • There too?
  • 00:20:41.687 --> 00:20:44.389
  • They believe like that too?
  • 00:20:44.389 --> 00:20:47.993
  • Oh, the enormous amount of work i tried to do in trying to get
  • 00:20:47.993 --> 00:20:51.897
  • People healed.
  • 00:20:51.897 --> 00:20:56.435
  • And the manifestation of most of the healings came when i was
  • 00:20:56.435 --> 00:20:58.737
  • Laying hands in rest and the better ones came when i didn't
  • 00:20:58.737 --> 00:21:01.707
  • Lay hands at all and just spoke the word.
  • 00:21:01.707 --> 00:21:05.844
  • 'cause i thought, "oh," because i did not understand little
  • 00:21:05.844 --> 00:21:10.916
  • Faith, big faith, no faith.
  • 00:21:10.916 --> 00:21:15.687
  • And i'm gonna teach that.
  • 00:21:15.687 --> 00:21:18.290
  • What is big faith?
  • 00:21:18.290 --> 00:21:19.624
  • What is little faith?
  • 00:21:19.624 --> 00:21:21.093
  • I mean, here's jesus telling a guy who just walked on water,
  • 00:21:21.093 --> 00:21:24.129
  • "oh ye of little faith."
  • 00:21:24.129 --> 00:21:25.764
  • How do you tell a dude that just walked on the water that he has
  • 00:21:25.764 --> 00:21:28.767
  • Little faith?
  • 00:21:28.767 --> 00:21:31.937
  • We need to know what that means.
  • 00:21:31.937 --> 00:21:34.806
  • If the just are to live by faith and we don't know what it is,
  • 00:21:34.806 --> 00:21:39.010
  • And we missed out on kingdom--
  • 00:21:39.010 --> 00:21:40.746
  • So first of all, faith has been designated for the christ.
  • 00:21:40.746 --> 00:21:48.086
  • Faith is designed for this new covenant.
  • 00:21:48.086 --> 00:21:53.925
  • Faith is designed for all that grace has made available.
  • 00:21:53.925 --> 00:21:59.097
  • Faith has not been designed so you can use it to get what
  • 00:21:59.097 --> 00:22:02.901
  • You want.
  • 00:22:02.901 --> 00:22:05.137
  • Faith has been designed for you to get what has already been
  • 00:22:05.137 --> 00:22:09.708
  • Gifted to you.
  • 00:22:09.708 --> 00:22:12.344
  • It is not this free for all.
  • 00:22:12.344 --> 00:22:14.880
  • This is mine, my little magical tool, and i'm gonna get what
  • 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:19.050
  • I want.
  • 00:22:19.050 --> 00:22:21.753
  • Faith is a receptor of all that grace has made available.
  • 00:22:21.753 --> 00:22:29.828
  • Get yourself out of the way because this is not about you,
  • 00:22:29.828 --> 00:22:38.236
  • It is not about your performance.
  • 00:22:38.236 --> 00:22:39.938
  • God does not need you to bring something to the table.
  • 00:22:39.938 --> 00:22:42.174
  • He don't need your help.
  • 00:22:42.174 --> 00:22:44.176
  • He don't need your support.
  • 00:22:44.176 --> 00:22:46.912
  • He don't need nothing that you got that he gave you.
  • 00:22:46.912 --> 00:22:56.922
  • You remember that guy when it came to money?
  • 00:22:56.922 --> 00:23:00.525
  • I think it was david, one of them, came to money and giving
  • 00:23:00.525 --> 00:23:03.795
  • In the offering.
  • 00:23:03.795 --> 00:23:05.630
  • This boy had enough sense to say, "all things come of thee,
  • 00:23:05.630 --> 00:23:10.836
  • O lord.
  • 00:23:10.836 --> 00:23:13.038
  • And of thine own, out of your stuff,
  • 00:23:13.038 --> 00:23:19.578
  • I give to you."
  • 00:23:19.578 --> 00:23:21.646
  • You know how that's changed?
  • 00:23:21.646 --> 00:23:22.981
  • You think that's your stuff. you think that's your stuff.
  • 00:23:22.981 --> 00:23:28.753
  • And you're negotiating within yourself and god,
  • 00:23:28.753 --> 00:23:32.257
  • Whether or not it's saved, to give god what's already healed.
  • 00:23:32.257 --> 00:23:37.229
  • Announcer: what is faith and what happens to your spiritual
  • 00:23:41.366 --> 00:23:44.169

  • Creflo: it's not his faith and our faith.
  • 00:23:52.043 --> 00:23:54.513
  • He is the faith.
  • 00:23:54.513 --> 00:23:55.981
  • He is the one faith.
  • 00:23:55.981 --> 00:23:57.616
  • He is the founder and the finisher.
  • 00:23:57.616 --> 00:23:59.684
  • The faith we have is his faith in us.
  • 00:23:59.684 --> 00:24:04.456
  • It is a finished faith.
  • 00:24:04.456 --> 00:24:06.825
