  • Creflo: i believe over the next month as you hear these
  • 00:01:49.189 --> 00:01:52.425
  • Teachings, and listen, i'd love to be able to teach the whole
  • 00:01:52.425 --> 00:01:58.498
  • Series in one thing, but it's like an onion, i gotta peel
  • 00:01:58.498 --> 00:02:01.901
  • This back.
  • 00:02:01.901 --> 00:02:04.771
  • But what's going to happen is as we begin to discover and get
  • 00:02:04.771 --> 00:02:12.178
  • Detail on things that we thought we knew, you're going to begin
  • 00:02:12.178 --> 00:02:18.117
  • To see the manifestations of the promises of god and it'll be
  • 00:02:18.117 --> 00:02:26.025
  • With sweatless victory, watch this, instead of sweating to try
  • 00:02:26.025 --> 00:02:31.898
  • To get it.
  • 00:02:31.898 --> 00:02:35.935
  • And so i pray for you and your house and your family and
  • 00:02:35.935 --> 00:02:40.840
  • Everything that you've been going through, that the lord
  • 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.812
  • Will bring some of those discomforting, painful
  • 00:02:45.812 --> 00:02:50.283
  • Situations to an end.
  • 00:02:50.283 --> 00:02:54.287
  • That everything jesus has given you, you will now know how to
  • 00:02:54.287 --> 00:02:59.592
  • Take it and receive it and walk in it and to turn to your
  • 00:02:59.592 --> 00:03:06.132
  • Friends and people around you and say, "there it is."
  • 00:03:06.132 --> 00:03:11.971
  • I want to show you how to move what god has finished from the
  • 00:03:11.971 --> 00:03:18.378
  • Unseen dimension to this physical seen dimension
  • 00:03:18.378 --> 00:03:24.851
  • Without sweat.
  • 00:03:24.851 --> 00:03:28.321
  • Go ahead and praise the lord like he's already done it, go
  • 00:03:28.321 --> 00:03:30.423
  • Ahead and praise him like he's already done, go ahead and
  • 00:03:30.423 --> 00:03:32.325
  • Praise him like he's already done it.
  • 00:03:32.325 --> 00:03:33.660
  • [congregation cheering]
  • 00:03:33.660 --> 00:03:41.234
  • Creflo: amen, you may be seated.
  • 00:03:41.234 --> 00:03:47.874
  • If you have your bibles, go with me to the book of ephesians
  • 00:03:47.874 --> 00:03:54.781
  • Chapter 2, ephesians chapter 2, beginning at verse 8.
  • 00:03:54.781 --> 00:04:03.423
  • And sometimes, ladies and gentlemen, it's the small foxes
  • 00:04:03.423 --> 00:04:06.559
  • That spoil the vine.
  • 00:04:06.559 --> 00:04:09.295
  • If you read the word of god and you get a wrong interpretation
  • 00:04:09.295 --> 00:04:14.667
  • Or just kinda miss out on the fullness of what it means, it
  • 00:04:14.667 --> 00:04:20.139
  • Can affect your outcome.
  • 00:04:20.139 --> 00:04:24.877
  • Verse 8, and y'all pray for me today, "sweet lips, pastor
  • 00:04:24.877 --> 00:04:30.216
  • Dollar," say that, "sweet lips."
  • 00:04:30.216 --> 00:04:33.252
  • Right, because sweet lips increase learning, sweet lips,
  • 00:04:33.252 --> 00:04:40.226
  • Yeah, sweet lips, all right, ready?
  • 00:04:40.226 --> 00:04:48.434
  • He says, "for by grace are you saved through faith; and that,"
  • 00:04:48.434 --> 00:04:56.442
  • Underline the word "that."
  • 00:04:56.442 --> 00:04:59.345
  • No, underline it or you have computers, i apologize, make
  • 00:04:59.345 --> 00:05:04.484
  • Note of the word "that," "for by grace are you saved through
  • 00:05:04.484 --> 00:05:09.188
  • Faith; and that," that's huge,
  • 00:05:09.188 --> 00:05:15.161
  • "and that not of yourselves:
  • 00:05:15.161 --> 00:05:19.232
  • It," that's important too, "it is the gift of god."
  • 00:05:19.232 --> 00:05:26.406
  • Verse 9, "not of works,
  • 00:05:26.406 --> 00:05:34.380
  • Lest any man should boast.
  • 00:05:34.380 --> 00:05:38.117
  • Not of works," or this gift is
  • 00:05:38.117 --> 00:05:46.392
  • Not available because you
  • 00:05:46.392 --> 00:05:48.694
  • Performed or labored to get it.
  • 00:05:48.694 --> 00:05:52.331
  • If you performed and labored to get it, it would no longer be
  • 00:05:52.331 --> 00:05:56.569
  • Qualified as a gift, but something you earned or deserved
  • 00:05:56.569 --> 00:06:01.741
  • Because you labored to get it.
  • 00:06:01.741 --> 00:06:05.845
  • And it also literally means not of the works of the law, which
  • 00:06:05.845 --> 00:06:10.183
  • Is a performance-based agreement.
  • 00:06:10.183 --> 00:06:13.886
  • And he says the reason why it is not gonna be of your works or
  • 00:06:13.886 --> 00:06:17.623
  • Your labor to get this gift, he says, "lest any man
  • 00:06:17.623 --> 00:06:22.795
  • Should boast."
  • 00:06:22.795 --> 00:06:25.565
  • So what god gifts to us, you can't boast on your behalf.
  • 00:06:25.565 --> 00:06:33.206
  • The only way you're gonna be able to boast is to boast about
  • 00:06:33.206 --> 00:06:35.675
  • Him.
  • 00:06:35.675 --> 00:06:39.412
  • 10, "for we are his workmanship," god's work, "we
  • 00:06:39.412 --> 00:06:45.918
  • Are his workmanship," which means god's work is us,
  • 00:06:45.918 --> 00:06:51.757
  • That's awesome.
  • 00:06:51.757 --> 00:06:53.125
  • God's working on you, say it out loud, "god's working on me."
  • 00:06:53.125 --> 00:06:57.230
  • We are his workmanship, oh, that's awesome.
  • 00:06:57.230 --> 00:07:01.300
  • You're seated here minding your own business and god's working
  • 00:07:01.300 --> 00:07:03.970
  • On you.
  • 00:07:03.970 --> 00:07:05.338
  • As i teach this, he's working on you.
  • 00:07:05.338 --> 00:07:08.274
  • When you go home, he's working on you.
  • 00:07:08.274 --> 00:07:09.876
  • When somebody cuss you out, he's working on you, "why the lord
  • 00:07:09.876 --> 00:07:15.147
  • Had me get cussed out," he working on you.
  • 00:07:15.147 --> 00:07:20.753
  • "oh, i lost my job," he working on you, "how are you working
  • 00:07:20.753 --> 00:07:25.124
  • On me?"
  • 00:07:25.124 --> 00:07:26.492
  • See, all of those are opportunities to mature and
  • 00:07:26.492 --> 00:07:29.128
  • To grow.
  • 00:07:29.128 --> 00:07:32.031
  • "for we are his workmanship, created," we're created, "in
  • 00:07:32.031 --> 00:07:35.902
  • Christ jesus," now watch this, "unto good works."
  • 00:07:35.902 --> 00:07:39.238
  • So good works are huge here, but good works are not added to the
  • 00:07:39.238 --> 00:07:47.513
  • Gift, so that the gift can do what it needs to do.
  • 00:07:47.513 --> 00:07:51.450
  • Good works will come from the gift, "which god hath ordained
  • 00:07:51.450 --> 00:08:00.226
  • That we should walk."
  • 00:08:00.226 --> 00:08:02.295
  • He's ordained for us to walk in those good works.
  • 00:08:02.295 --> 00:08:05.431
  • I'll show you scriptures in this series where god said, "i saved
  • 00:08:05.431 --> 00:08:09.702
  • You by grace so you can do good works."
  • 00:08:09.702 --> 00:08:14.774
  • But he didn't say, "you have to add works to my grace in order
  • 00:08:14.774 --> 00:08:19.679
  • For my grace to work."
  • 00:08:19.679 --> 00:08:22.682
  • What he said was, "my grace doesn't need your work, but my
  • 00:08:22.682 --> 00:08:26.452
  • Grace will produce out of you and from you good works because
  • 00:08:26.452 --> 00:08:31.223
  • Of the gift i gave you."
  • 00:08:31.223 --> 00:08:33.593
  • So without the gift, good works wouldn't flow out of you.
  • 00:08:33.593 --> 00:08:37.096
  • "so i gave you a gift so that good works can come out of you."
  • 00:08:37.096 --> 00:08:40.700
  • So when somebody knock on your door and say i'm hungry and
  • 00:08:40.700 --> 00:08:43.402
  • Naked, good works, if you really got that gift, it's just gonna
  • 00:08:43.402 --> 00:08:48.074
  • Flow out of you.
  • 00:08:48.074 --> 00:08:49.408
  • The fruit of the spirit flows out of you because of the grace
  • 00:08:49.408 --> 00:08:52.478
  • Of god.
  • 00:08:52.478 --> 00:08:54.480
  • Yeah, all right, now let's go back and, verse 8 and let's
  • 00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:01.387
  • Dissect this for a moment.
  • 00:09:01.387 --> 00:09:04.390
  • He says, "for by grace are you saved," now here's the
  • 00:09:04.390 --> 00:09:08.594
  • Big thing.
  • 00:09:08.594 --> 00:09:10.363
  • We know that grace, by its definition, it is unmerited
  • 00:09:10.363 --> 00:09:16.535
  • Favor, it is unmerited favor, it is unmerited in abounding
  • 00:09:16.535 --> 00:09:23.376
  • Provision, in the unrestricted or unrestrained operation of
  • 00:09:23.376 --> 00:09:30.583
  • This love that comes out of jesus christ towards--and it's
  • 00:09:30.583 --> 00:09:35.821
  • For human beings, mankind.
  • 00:09:35.821 --> 00:09:38.891
  • But it's especially for those who will depend on him.
  • 00:09:38.891 --> 00:09:48.601
  • And now watch this, "for by grace," so we know that grace is
  • 00:09:48.601 --> 00:09:51.837
  • Already a gift, right?
  • 00:09:51.837 --> 00:09:53.739
  • By definition, grace is a gift, it's unmerited, a gift is
  • 00:09:53.739 --> 00:09:58.444
  • Unmerited, unearned, a gift is unearned.
  • 00:09:58.444 --> 00:10:02.448
  • So by definition, you know that grace is a gift, "for by grace
  • 00:10:02.448 --> 00:10:07.353
  • Are you," what?
  • 00:10:07.353 --> 00:10:09.422
  • He didn't say, "for by grace are you born again."
  • 00:10:09.422 --> 00:10:15.261
  • This is huge, he did not say, "for by grace you are born
  • 00:10:15.261 --> 00:10:20.166
  • Again," now, are you born again by grace?
  • 00:10:20.166 --> 00:10:22.802
  • Yes, but he didn't say you're born again by the grace of god.
  • 00:10:22.802 --> 00:10:29.642
  • It's more to born again, yes, you're born again by the grace
  • 00:10:29.642 --> 00:10:34.714
  • Of god, but he uses a word here "saved."
  • 00:10:34.714 --> 00:10:39.118
  • I'm gonna look at two greek words, the first one is
  • 00:10:39.118 --> 00:10:42.688
  • "soteria," "for by grace are you sozo," or "soteria."
  • 00:10:42.688 --> 00:10:50.596
  • Now put this on the screen for me, "for by grace are you
  • 00:10:50.596 --> 00:10:53.999
  • Saved," soteria.
  • 00:10:53.999 --> 00:10:57.570
  • Now, this means something.
  • 00:10:57.570 --> 00:10:58.904
  • I want everybody to see it, yeah, this means something, so
  • 00:10:58.904 --> 00:11:02.608
  • By grace are you, you have deliverance, preservation,
  • 00:11:02.608 --> 00:11:09.915
  • Safety, protection.
  • 00:11:09.915 --> 00:11:13.719
  • You're delivered from the molestation of the enemies.
  • 00:11:13.719 --> 00:11:19.592
  • In an ethical sense, that which concludes to the soul safety and
  • 00:11:19.592 --> 00:11:24.730
  • Salvation, so you're delivered from the attacks of your soul.
  • 00:11:24.730 --> 00:11:29.935
  • The messianic salvation, which includes all of those things
  • 00:11:29.935 --> 00:11:34.340
  • That jesus has made available for you and to you, all the
  • 00:11:34.340 --> 00:11:39.812
  • Finished works of jesus.
  • 00:11:39.812 --> 00:11:42.782
  • All right, now let's put it in college park understanding.
  • 00:11:42.782 --> 00:11:47.253
  • He gave you the gift of protection, soundness, safety,
  • 00:11:47.253 --> 00:11:55.628
  • Healing, deliverance, all of the finished works of jesus is what
  • 00:11:55.628 --> 00:12:04.303
  • You got by grace.
  • 00:12:04.303 --> 00:12:05.905
  • By grace, you are born again, by grace, you are delivered, by
  • 00:12:05.905 --> 00:12:11.377
  • Grace, you are sound, by grace, you are healed, by grace, you
  • 00:12:11.377 --> 00:12:16.816
  • Are equipped to deal with the enemy.
  • 00:12:16.816 --> 00:12:18.851
  • By grace, all of what you're sweating to try to get has been
  • 00:12:18.851 --> 00:12:25.691
  • Gifted to you by grace.
  • 00:12:25.691 --> 00:12:32.031
  • We limited that to just born again, but it's not just
  • 00:12:32.031 --> 00:12:37.736
  • Born again.
  • 00:12:37.736 --> 00:12:39.104
  • It's born again, it's delivered, it's protected, it's healed,
  • 00:12:39.104 --> 00:12:43.475
  • It's all of the finished works of jesus.
  • 00:12:43.475 --> 00:12:46.011
  • It's everything to dealing with the enemy trying to come against
  • 00:12:46.011 --> 00:12:51.317
  • You, you're equipped for that.
  • 00:12:51.317 --> 00:12:53.285
  • The enemy trying to attack your soul, you're equipped for that,
  • 00:12:53.285 --> 00:12:56.222
  • Brokenness in your heart, you're equipped for that.
  • 00:12:56.222 --> 00:12:59.758
  • You are equipped right now for that, but we've been working to
  • 00:12:59.758 --> 00:13:07.099
  • Try to get these things when we already got these things,
  • 00:13:07.099 --> 00:13:13.005
  • By grace.
  • 00:13:13.005 --> 00:13:14.373
  • If i give you a box and in the box there is a t-shirt, and you
  • 00:13:14.373 --> 00:13:19.812
  • Go around talking about, "i need to go to work and get extra
  • 00:13:19.812 --> 00:13:22.314
  • Hours 'cause i need to buy a t-shirt."
  • 00:13:22.314 --> 00:13:25.351
  • And i'm like, "you got a t-shirt."
  • 00:13:25.351 --> 00:13:27.820
  • "where is it?" "it's in a box."
  • 00:13:27.820 --> 00:13:30.990
  • "well, how do i know it's in the box?
  • 00:13:30.990 --> 00:13:32.758
  • I mean, the box is all wrapped up."
  • 00:13:32.758 --> 00:13:34.159
  • "it's in the box. unwrap the gift."
  • 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:40.099
  • I'm saying to you, church, unwrap the gift.
  • 00:13:40.099 --> 00:13:44.370
  • All right, so that's soteria, now, let's look at another greek
  • 00:13:44.370 --> 00:13:47.873
  • Word sozo, s-o-z-o, "for by grace do you have sozo," to
  • 00:13:47.873 --> 00:13:56.916
  • Save, to keep safe, sound, to rescue from danger or
  • 00:13:56.916 --> 00:14:05.424
  • Destruction, one (from injury or peril.)
  • 00:14:05.424 --> 00:14:12.431
  • So any type of thing you go, to save a suffering one (from
  • 00:14:12.431 --> 00:14:16.268
  • Perishing), suffering from disease, to make well, to heal,
  • 00:14:16.268 --> 00:14:23.809
  • To restore to health.
  • 00:14:23.809 --> 00:14:27.513
  • By grace are you saved from suffering disease, you're saved
  • 00:14:27.513 --> 00:14:34.019
  • And made well.
  • 00:14:34.019 --> 00:14:35.587
  • You're healed by grace, you're restored to health by grace.
  • 00:14:35.587 --> 00:14:41.260
  • "no, i got to work to get to it."
  • 00:14:41.260 --> 00:14:44.129
  • Unwrap the gift.
  • 00:14:44.129 --> 00:14:47.232
  • It's been gifted to you.
  • 00:14:47.232 --> 00:14:49.668
  • Oh my goodness.
  • 00:14:49.668 --> 00:14:51.437
  • Now, something needs to change in our thinking when it comes to
  • 00:14:51.437 --> 00:14:57.509
  • You trying to do something to get what's already been gotten.
  • 00:14:57.509 --> 00:15:05.951
  • You have to change your thinking to realize i have it now as a
  • 00:15:05.951 --> 00:15:14.460
  • Gift to me by grace, i am healed by grace.
  • 00:15:14.460 --> 00:15:21.367
  • Now, here's the thing, we've been trained to look at what we
  • 00:15:21.367 --> 00:15:26.505
  • Can see and we don't stand on what we don't see.
  • 00:15:26.505 --> 00:15:33.946
  • You are, not going to be, not trying to be, well, i hope to
  • 00:15:33.946 --> 00:15:38.384
  • Be, you've got to move to this place of "i am saved, delivered,
  • 00:15:38.384 --> 00:15:46.925
  • Healed, protected."
  • 00:15:46.925 --> 00:15:49.495
  • Now, that's got to be present tense continuum, it's gotta be
  • 00:15:49.495 --> 00:15:52.931
  • Something you receive now without seeing.
  • 00:15:52.931 --> 00:16:00.439
  • If you make reservation on the phone or online, you know, you
  • 00:16:00.439 --> 00:16:04.643
  • May not see what you reserved until you get there, but somehow
  • 00:16:04.643 --> 00:16:09.081
  • Or another, we're living by faith in everyday situations.
  • 00:16:09.081 --> 00:16:14.853
  • You came to church by faith.
  • 00:16:14.853 --> 00:16:19.224
  • Now, go back to ephesians 2, y'all see how we're gonna
  • 00:16:19.224 --> 00:16:22.961
  • Do this?
  • 00:16:22.961 --> 00:16:24.296
  • Now, watch these fascinating things that come to place now
  • 00:16:24.296 --> 00:16:27.032
  • With that in mind, "for by grace are you," it's a much bigger
  • 00:16:27.032 --> 00:16:31.470
  • Word now, right?
  • 00:16:31.470 --> 00:16:33.205
  • Much bigger word, saved, healed, all right, i'm gonna call it out
  • 00:16:33.205 --> 00:16:40.813
  • And then you just say, "already done," ready?
  • 00:16:40.813 --> 00:16:46.318
  • Healed, sound, preserved,
  • 00:16:46.318 --> 00:16:54.593
  • Delivered, whole,
  • 00:16:54.593 --> 00:17:00.299
  • Mmm, prosperous,
  • 00:17:00.299 --> 00:17:04.837
  • Restored, defeated enemies,
  • 00:17:04.837 --> 00:17:10.676
  • Congregation: already done.
  • 00:17:10.676 --> 00:17:13.011
  • [congregation cheering]
  • 00:17:13.011 --> 00:17:18.150
  • Creflo: that ought to get you preaching to somebody.
  • 00:17:18.150 --> 00:17:21.386
  • You're going through something and they don't know.
  • 00:17:21.386 --> 00:17:23.589
  • There's something up here trying to feel sorry for you, you're
  • 00:17:23.589 --> 00:17:25.824
  • Going through something and
  • 00:17:25.824 --> 00:17:27.426
  • They don't know that you already know.
  • 00:17:27.426 --> 00:17:28.760
  • Oh no, honey, don't get this twisted, i already got it.
  • 00:17:28.760 --> 00:17:33.765
  • I don't get it twisted, it's been gifted to me.
  • 00:17:33.765 --> 00:17:36.034
  • Don't get it twisted, i know who i am.
  • 00:17:36.034 --> 00:17:38.470
  • Don't get it twisted, i know physically i might be in a
  • 00:17:38.470 --> 00:17:42.541
  • Situation and emotionally i might be in a situation, but i
  • 00:17:42.541 --> 00:17:45.611
  • Am now just being transformed.
  • 00:17:45.611 --> 00:17:47.746
  • It's like the air conditioning unit, it can be hot in the
  • 00:17:47.746 --> 00:17:51.016
  • House, but when you change the thermostat, everything starts
  • 00:17:51.016 --> 00:17:55.554
  • Working to reach the desired temperature.
  • 00:17:55.554 --> 00:17:58.557
  • I'm trying to change your thermostat this morning so that
  • 00:17:58.557 --> 00:18:02.794
  • The angels of god, the holy ghost of god, the name of jesus
  • 00:18:02.794 --> 00:18:06.765
  • Of god, everything will start working to bring you to
  • 00:18:06.765 --> 00:18:10.302
  • That setting.
  • 00:18:10.302 --> 00:18:11.937
  • [congregation cheering]
  • 00:18:11.937 --> 00:18:18.644
  • Creflo: so today i'm gonna talk to you about true faith.
  • 00:18:22.814 --> 00:18:28.787
  • "for by grace are you--" you'll never be able to say
  • 00:18:28.787 --> 00:18:32.691
  • That one word again without thinking all of the other stuff.
  • 00:18:32.691 --> 00:18:38.931
  • And here it is.
  • 00:18:38.931 --> 00:18:41.366
  • So everything that's been made available, we
  • 00:18:41.366 --> 00:18:45.804
  • Access this through what?
  • 00:18:45.804 --> 00:18:50.642
  • We access this through what?
  • 00:18:50.642 --> 00:18:53.245
  • All right, real quick, romans 5:2 and romans 4:16.
  • 00:18:53.245 --> 00:18:57.683
  • In the nlt, romans 5:2 and romans 4.
  • 00:18:57.683 --> 00:19:00.652
  • We'll come back to this now.
  • 00:19:00.652 --> 00:19:03.388
  • All right, verse 2, "because of our faith, christ has brought us
  • 00:19:03.388 --> 00:19:09.194
  • Into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand,"
  • 00:19:09.194 --> 00:19:14.700
  • Isn't that interesting?
  • 00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:16.134
  • "we now stand," glory to god, "and we confidently and joyfully
  • 00:19:16.134 --> 00:19:21.306
  • Look forward to sharing," watch this,
  • 00:19:21.306 --> 00:19:24.309
  • "god's glory," or these manifestations i started off
  • 00:19:24.309 --> 00:19:27.279
  • Talking to you about.
  • 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:28.614
  • Glory here is the manifested word, and notice how it starts,
  • 00:19:28.614 --> 00:19:34.419
  • Beginning of verse 2 again, notice how it starts.
  • 00:19:34.419 --> 00:19:38.023
  • He says that, "because of our faith, christ has brought us
  • 00:19:38.023 --> 00:19:43.528
  • Into this place of undeserved privilege."
  • 00:19:43.528 --> 00:19:46.265
  • It's not because of our labor, not because of our effort, not
  • 00:19:46.265 --> 00:19:50.469
  • Because of our performance, do you see this?
  • 00:19:50.469 --> 00:19:53.405
  • It is because of our faith that he has brought us into these
  • 00:19:53.405 --> 00:19:57.676
  • Undeserved privileges.
  • 00:19:57.676 --> 00:19:59.044
  • So i am all that he has done, all right, because of my faith.
  • 00:19:59.044 --> 00:20:05.951
  • Now look at romans 4:16, now this is gonna be a little
  • 00:20:05.951 --> 00:20:09.688
  • Shocking, but i've got to take my time on this, but, amen, here
  • 00:20:09.688 --> 00:20:13.859
  • We go.
  • 00:20:13.859 --> 00:20:15.227
  • He says, "so the promise is received," all of the promises,
  • 00:20:15.227 --> 00:20:18.297
  • We just--we talked about the promises of "sozo" and
  • 00:20:18.297 --> 00:20:20.632
  • "soteria," right?
  • 00:20:20.632 --> 00:20:21.967
  • "all of the promise is received."
  • 00:20:21.967 --> 00:20:24.703
  • See, all of these gifts have to be received.
  • 00:20:24.703 --> 00:20:30.309
  • They gotta be received.
  • 00:20:30.309 --> 00:20:33.545
  • We've been trained, we've been working for it.
  • 00:20:33.545 --> 00:20:36.648
  • They gotta be received.
  • 00:20:36.648 --> 00:20:40.419
  • Get a picture of that, they gotta be received.
  • 00:20:40.419 --> 00:20:42.821
  • I have a gift in my hands, i extend that gift to you, it's
  • 00:20:42.821 --> 00:20:45.824
  • Gotta be what?
  • 00:20:45.824 --> 00:20:47.159
  • Received, it's got to be taken, it's got to be received.
  • 00:20:47.159 --> 00:20:52.197
  • It doesn't require you to work to get it, you already got it,
  • 00:20:52.197 --> 00:20:57.703
  • It's got to be received.
  • 00:20:57.703 --> 00:20:59.971
  • Not working to get healed, not working for soundness, not
  • 00:20:59.971 --> 00:21:03.175
  • Working for preservation, but receiving
  • 00:21:03.175 --> 00:21:06.545
  • [speaking in tongues], receive.
  • 00:21:06.545 --> 00:21:09.181
  • Say it, received, this promise is received, and guess what
  • 00:21:09.181 --> 00:21:14.252
  • Faith is?
  • 00:21:14.252 --> 00:21:15.620
  • Faith is your receiver mechanism, faith is your
  • 00:21:15.620 --> 00:21:19.725
  • Receiver mechanism.
  • 00:21:19.725 --> 00:21:21.093
  • Faith is not your go-get it mechanism, faith is your
  • 00:21:21.093 --> 00:21:24.796
  • Receiver, it's your receiving mechanism.
  • 00:21:24.796 --> 00:21:29.034
  • So god gave you grace, which is a gift, watch this, "so the
  • 00:21:29.034 --> 00:21:37.409
  • Promise is received by faith, it" what is this it
  • 00:21:37.409 --> 00:21:41.613
  • Referring to?
  • 00:21:41.613 --> 00:21:44.883
  • Faith, "it is given as a free gift."
  • 00:21:44.883 --> 00:21:50.922
  • It's interesting because the promise was given as a free gift
  • 00:21:50.922 --> 00:21:54.593
  • And faith was given as a free gift.
  • 00:21:54.593 --> 00:21:59.798
  • "and we are all certain to receive it whether or not we
  • 00:21:59.798 --> 00:22:02.934
  • Live according to the law of moses."
  • 00:22:02.934 --> 00:22:05.537
  • You don't need faith to live by the law, 'cause the law is
  • 00:22:05.537 --> 00:22:09.875
  • Clear, do this and this happens.
  • 00:22:09.875 --> 00:22:13.245
  • You don't need faith to live by the law, but you need faith to
  • 00:22:13.245 --> 00:22:17.649
  • Receive under this new covenant what jesus has already
  • 00:22:17.649 --> 00:22:20.786
  • Given you.
  • 00:22:20.786 --> 00:22:22.220
  • And "if we have faith, like abraham's, for abraham is the
  • 00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:27.659
  • Father of all who believe."
  • 00:22:27.659 --> 00:22:30.395
  • He's not just the father of all jewish people, he's the father
  • 00:22:30.395 --> 00:22:34.833
  • Of all who receive, he's the father of receivers who received
  • 00:22:34.833 --> 00:22:42.541
  • Like him.
  • 00:22:42.541 --> 00:22:44.810
  • And how did he receive, "abraham, you're gonna have
  • 00:22:44.810 --> 00:22:47.379
  • A son."
  • 00:22:47.379 --> 00:22:48.747
  • Abraham, he said, "i'm 100, my wife, she's 90-something.
  • 00:22:48.747 --> 00:22:52.818
  • We old, we ain't, we don't have the equipment.
  • 00:22:52.818 --> 00:22:55.520
  • There's nothing we can do to make this happen.
  • 00:22:55.520 --> 00:23:01.593
  • We old, we don't even feel like getting it on.
  • 00:23:01.593 --> 00:23:04.529
  • There's nothing we can do to make this happen.
  • 00:23:04.529 --> 00:23:09.367
  • If this is going to happen, if this promise is going to take
  • 00:23:09.367 --> 00:23:14.406
  • Place, you gonna have to do it.
  • 00:23:14.406 --> 00:23:17.008
  • All we can do is believe and receive this child.
  • 00:23:17.008 --> 00:23:21.847
  • We can the only thing we can do is receive an isaac.
  • 00:23:21.847 --> 00:23:25.116
  • We can't make him, we can't work for him, we have to receive
  • 00:23:25.116 --> 00:23:30.188
  • An isaac."
  • 00:23:30.188 --> 00:23:34.092
  • But religion's taught you now you got to sweat for an isaac,
  • 00:23:34.092 --> 00:23:37.529
  • You got to perform for an isaac, you got to do all these things
  • 00:23:37.529 --> 00:23:40.999
  • To get an isaac.
  • 00:23:40.999 --> 00:23:42.868
  • And he says, "no, no, no, i only require for you to hear the
  • 00:23:42.868 --> 00:23:46.104
  • Promise, believe the promise, and take the promise, i ain't
  • 00:23:46.104 --> 00:23:52.911
  • Asked you to do nothing else."
  • 00:23:52.911 --> 00:23:55.614
  • Male announcer: what is faith, and what happens to your
  • 00:23:59.751 --> 00:24:02.020
  • Spiritual walk if you don't have the right answer?
  • 00:24:02.020 --> 00:24:04.623
  • Creflo dollar gets to the bottom of this and more in his
  • 00:24:04.623 --> 00:24:07.392
  • Power-packed ten-message series, "true faith."
  • 00:24:07.392 --> 00:24:10.428
  • Creflo: it's not his faith and our faith, he is the faith.
  • 00:24:10.428 --> 00:24:14.366
  • He is the one faith, he is the founder and the finisher.
  • 00:24:14.366 --> 00:24:18.069
  • The faith we have is his faith in us.
  • 00:24:18.069 --> 00:24:22.841
  • It is a finished faith, it is a perfected faith.
  • 00:24:22.841 --> 00:24:28.179
  • So ain't but one thing to do, rest.
  • 00:24:28.179 --> 00:24:32.551
  • Male announcer: gain a clear understanding of the definition
