00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.337
Male announcer: this program is brought to you in part

Announcer: coming up next on "changing your world."
00:00:08.978 --> 00:00:12.415
Taffi: how many of us are willing to stoop down in other
00:00:12.482 --> 00:00:14.918
People's mess in other people's life and lift and elevate and
00:00:14.918 --> 00:00:20.256
Promote and humble ourselves and be willing to use by, be used by
00:00:20.256 --> 00:00:25.295
God as an instrument, as a channel as a vessel to bring
00:00:25.295 --> 00:00:33.103
A word, to give a hug, to say something, to be kind.
00:00:33.103 --> 00:00:39.442
How many you know that will lift, that'll take people out.
00:00:39.442 --> 00:00:46.049
That'll keep somebody from committing suicide tonight.
00:00:46.049 --> 00:00:49.352
That'll keep someone from cutting themselves, that'll keep
00:00:49.352 --> 00:00:53.022
Somebody from shooting up.
00:00:53.022 --> 00:00:54.357
That'll keep somebody from turning up the bottle because he
00:00:54.357 --> 00:00:59.562
Is the god who stoops down.
00:00:59.562 --> 00:01:01.364
I'm telling you, he will stoop down all he needs is somebody
00:01:01.364 --> 00:01:06.436
Who will make room.
00:01:06.436 --> 00:01:07.837

Taffi: tonight, i want to talk about the god who stoops.
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.944
The god who stoops.
00:02:20.944 --> 00:02:22.378
He who stoops.
00:02:22.378 --> 00:02:23.913
And i just trust that whatever circumstance or situation that
00:02:23.913 --> 00:02:29.786
You are presently dealing with or facing, that you will begin
00:02:29.786 --> 00:02:36.359
To allow him to intervene and get involved in your
00:02:36.359 --> 00:02:41.297
Everyday affairs.
00:02:41.297 --> 00:02:43.633
There is nothing that he will not be able to cause us to
00:02:43.633 --> 00:02:51.207
Prevail and be victorious in.
00:02:51.207 --> 00:02:53.409
It's a matter more so of us welcoming him and allowing
00:02:53.409 --> 00:02:58.281
Him in.
00:02:58.281 --> 00:03:00.116
Just, you know, on a day-to-day, at work, when we're at home,
00:03:00.116 --> 00:03:07.123
When we're going throughout the week, going to the store, at
00:03:07.123 --> 00:03:12.562
School, at class, whatever and wherever we are, he wants to
00:03:12.562 --> 00:03:18.835
Be welcomed in.
00:03:18.835 --> 00:03:20.203
He will not insert himself.
00:03:20.203 --> 00:03:21.537
But you know what?
00:03:21.537 --> 00:03:22.905
We have to pause and recognize that he wants to get involved in
00:03:22.905 --> 00:03:27.944
Our everyday affairs.
00:03:27.944 --> 00:03:29.279
And so when we talk about the god who stoops, we're talking
00:03:29.279 --> 00:03:32.181
About the one who bends down.
00:03:32.181 --> 00:03:34.617
And, you know, out of god's love for us, he got involved in our
00:03:34.617 --> 00:03:41.891
Everyday affairs.
00:03:41.891 --> 00:03:43.226
And so it was sin that separated us from god.
00:03:43.226 --> 00:03:48.931
And that sin occurred in genesis chapter 3 where the story is
00:03:48.931 --> 00:03:54.504
Where eve and adam ate of the fruit of the tree that the enemy
00:03:54.504 --> 00:03:59.475
Came and tempted them with.
00:03:59.475 --> 00:04:02.679
And as a result of them choosing to partake of what god told them
00:04:02.679 --> 00:04:08.484
Not to partake of, it was through that decision that sin
00:04:08.484 --> 00:04:12.622
Entered in.
00:04:12.622 --> 00:04:13.956
In fact, look at genesis chapter 3 verse 25.
00:04:13.956 --> 00:04:18.461
And we can look at how sin entered in and stripped us from
00:04:18.461 --> 00:04:26.235
God's best, but is out of god's love for us that he lowers
00:04:26.235 --> 00:04:30.373
Himself and he caused them to get into a place where they
00:04:30.373 --> 00:04:37.747
Would be cut off.
00:04:37.747 --> 00:04:39.482
And so it took the things that happened through the new
00:04:39.482 --> 00:04:43.152
Covenant to allow him to get back in.
00:04:43.152 --> 00:04:47.090
And so after adam and eve ate here in verse 23, genesis 3:23,
00:04:47.090 --> 00:04:55.732
It says, "therefore, the lord god sent him forth from the
00:04:55.732 --> 00:05:02.872
Garden of eden," so man, mankind, the woman and the man,
00:05:02.872 --> 00:05:10.346
It says that, they were sent "forth from the garden of eden
00:05:10.346 --> 00:05:14.183
To till the ground from whence he was taken."
00:05:14.183 --> 00:05:18.888
And we know adam was taken from the dust of the ground.
00:05:18.888 --> 00:05:22.225
And the bible talks about how god breathed into him and he
00:05:22.225 --> 00:05:25.294
Became a living soul.
00:05:25.294 --> 00:05:27.163
And the woman came out of the side of the man.
00:05:27.163 --> 00:05:29.999
And adam said, "this is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh."
00:05:29.999 --> 00:05:34.537
But after they ate, the scripture says, "the lord god
00:05:34.537 --> 00:05:38.040
Sent them away, sent them from the garden.
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.878
They were removed from the place that god had designed for them
00:05:41.878 --> 00:05:47.817
To be, the garden of eden," where everything was good, where
00:05:47.817 --> 00:05:50.953
Everything was perfect, where all was well, all the things
00:05:50.953 --> 00:05:55.758
That were created in genesis chapter 1--but here we see in
00:05:55.758 --> 00:06:00.596
Verse 24, "so god or so he drove out the man," referring to god,
00:06:00.596 --> 00:06:09.105
"so god drove out the man and he placed at the east of the
00:06:09.105 --> 00:06:14.310
Garden of eden, the cherubim and a flaming sword, which turned
00:06:14.310 --> 00:06:20.316
Every way to keep and guard the way to the tree of life."
00:06:20.316 --> 00:06:27.490
And so we see here that there was a disconnect between god and
00:06:27.490 --> 00:06:33.729
Man, and that disconnect occurred when they sinned.
00:06:33.729 --> 00:06:37.834
Look at isaiah chapter 59.
00:06:37.834 --> 00:06:40.503
Isaiah 59, we can see specifically how god had to bend
00:06:40.503 --> 00:06:47.109
Down and as a result, bring us up.
00:06:47.109 --> 00:06:51.948
He went down low so that we could be elevated, and we would
00:06:51.948 --> 00:06:58.588
Not stay low.
00:06:58.588 --> 00:06:59.956
Because of what adam and eve did, mankind was at
00:06:59.956 --> 00:07:04.594
A disconnect.
00:07:04.594 --> 00:07:06.062
They were distant.
00:07:06.062 --> 00:07:07.630
We all were distant because we were born in sin and shaped in
00:07:07.630 --> 00:07:11.934
Iniquity and all the things that happened, the by product of what
00:07:11.934 --> 00:07:17.406
Adam and eve did.
00:07:17.406 --> 00:07:19.008
And so in isaiah 59, let's look at this, verses 1 through 3, it
00:07:19.008 --> 00:07:27.049
Says, "behold, the lord's hand is not shortened--"
00:07:27.049 --> 00:07:34.423
Isn't that good news?
00:07:34.423 --> 00:07:36.158
"that it cannot save.
00:07:36.158 --> 00:07:41.097
Neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear, but
00:07:41.097 --> 00:07:49.639
Your iniquities have separated between you and your god."
00:07:49.705 --> 00:07:59.115
So it was sin that separated us from god.
00:07:59.115 --> 00:08:03.920
It was the iniquities here.
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.922
It wasn't that, you know, god is unable to do it, but it was
00:08:05.922 --> 00:08:12.695
The sin that was committed.
00:08:12.695 --> 00:08:14.830
And he says, "your sins have hid his face from you that he will
00:08:14.830 --> 00:08:22.805
Not hear."
00:08:22.805 --> 00:08:25.074
And it says, "for your hands are defiled with blood and your
00:08:25.074 --> 00:08:30.780
Fingers with iniquity.
00:08:30.780 --> 00:08:34.116
Your lips have spoken lies.
00:08:34.116 --> 00:08:36.852
Your tongue hath muttered perverseness."
00:08:36.852 --> 00:08:42.291
And so we see here according to the scripture that it was sin
00:08:42.291 --> 00:08:47.296
That separated.
00:08:47.296 --> 00:08:48.664
Somebody say "sin."
00:08:48.664 --> 00:08:49.999
Sin separates man from god.
00:08:49.999 --> 00:08:53.469
And that's what we saw here in genesis chapter 3 a moment ago.
00:08:53.469 --> 00:08:59.408
So when we look at this word "stoop," we're talking about
00:08:59.408 --> 00:09:03.546
Humbling ourselves.
00:09:03.546 --> 00:09:05.081
We're talking about bending down to lower, to condescend, to
00:09:05.081 --> 00:09:10.052
Yield, to submit.
00:09:10.052 --> 00:09:12.254
It is us willingly becoming small.
00:09:12.254 --> 00:09:16.092
Jesus was in heaven with god.
00:09:16.092 --> 00:09:19.895
God said, "let us make mankind."
00:09:19.895 --> 00:09:23.799
He was talking about us being the father of the son, father,
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:29.238
The holy spirit, god, the father god, the son, and god,
00:09:29.238 --> 00:09:32.274
The holy spirit.
00:09:32.274 --> 00:09:33.609
And so jesus had to take on flesh.
00:09:33.609 --> 00:09:38.614
He had to take on things in this natural realm in order and lower
00:09:38.614 --> 00:09:43.853
Himself and to stoop down to descend.
00:09:43.853 --> 00:09:48.324
I mean, you know, that's a dissension to come from heaven
00:09:48.324 --> 00:09:51.761
Down to earth.
00:09:51.761 --> 00:09:53.095
And so that's in essence what jesus did on our behalf.
00:09:53.095 --> 00:09:57.566
And so it was out of the love that god sent jesus.
00:09:57.566 --> 00:10:02.204
And jesus lowered himself to restore the dignity that sin had
00:10:02.204 --> 00:10:08.044
Stripped up off us.
00:10:08.044 --> 00:10:10.613
I'll say that again, out of love, god sent jesus.
00:10:10.613 --> 00:10:16.552
And he lowered himself to restore dignity, that sin that
00:10:16.552 --> 00:10:23.426
We just read, had stripped from us.
00:10:23.426 --> 00:10:28.531
And so god stoops down allowing himself in the form of jesus to
00:10:28.531 --> 00:10:36.706
Be broken on our behalf, to stand in our stead, to take on
00:10:36.706 --> 00:10:45.247
Our sins, to take on our brokenness, to take on our
00:10:45.247 --> 00:10:49.151
Poverty, to take on death, to take on all the things that were
00:10:49.151 --> 00:10:54.190
Ahead of us.
00:10:54.190 --> 00:10:55.925
And so it was the decision that jesus made when he came in the
00:10:55.925 --> 00:11:02.732
Form of grace.
00:11:02.732 --> 00:11:04.500
And it was love that stooped down.
00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:06.769
And it was grace that stooped down.
00:11:06.769 --> 00:11:09.271
Now, let's look at this over in psalms 113.
00:11:09.271 --> 00:11:12.308
I'm just trying to paint a picture here.
00:11:12.308 --> 00:11:14.977
And i trust the holy spirit that it'll just be clear, and you'll
00:11:14.977 --> 00:11:18.914
See it all come together.
00:11:18.914 --> 00:11:21.784
So he says in psalms 113, verse 6 through 9, he is ready today
00:11:21.784 --> 00:11:31.827
To intervene in all of your affairs.
00:11:33.295 --> 00:11:39.869
Glory be to god.
00:11:39.869 --> 00:11:42.605
Isn't that good news?
00:11:42.605 --> 00:11:46.041
We're no longer separated, we're no longer disconnected, we're no
00:11:46.041 --> 00:11:50.346
Longer distant from god.
00:11:50.346 --> 00:11:53.315
But because of jesus, we have access and we have a close and
00:11:53.315 --> 00:12:00.022
We can have a intimate relationship with the father.
00:12:00.022 --> 00:12:05.194
And so here in 113, in psalms, he says, "praise ye the lord,
00:12:05.194 --> 00:12:14.503
Praise o ye servants of the lord.
00:12:14.503 --> 00:12:16.338
Praise the name of the lord.
00:12:16.338 --> 00:12:18.140
Blessed be the name of the lord from this time forth and
00:12:18.140 --> 00:12:23.045
Forevermore, from the rising of the sun unto the going down of
00:12:23.045 --> 00:12:30.653
The same, the lord's name is to be praised.
00:12:30.653 --> 00:12:36.926
The lord is high above all nations and his glory above
00:12:36.926 --> 00:12:46.035
The heavens."
00:12:46.035 --> 00:12:47.436
And so the fact that we have a god, a father who was high and
00:12:47.436 --> 00:12:52.875
Lifted up.
00:12:52.875 --> 00:12:54.210
But yet, i mean, no, he was willing to stoop down.
00:12:54.210 --> 00:12:58.280
He is high and lifted up.
00:12:58.280 --> 00:13:00.950
He sits high above the heavens.
00:13:00.950 --> 00:13:03.619
He says, "the lord is high above all nations and his glory above
00:13:03.619 --> 00:13:11.260
The heavens.
00:13:11.260 --> 00:13:12.595
Who is like unto the lord, our god who dwelleth on high, who
00:13:12.595 --> 00:13:22.438
Humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and
00:13:22.438 --> 00:13:29.845
That are in the earth."
00:13:29.845 --> 00:13:31.881
Now, let's look at this in a new international version.
00:13:31.881 --> 00:13:36.285
Let's switch over for just a second.
00:13:36.285 --> 00:13:39.255
"who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth."
00:13:39.255 --> 00:13:48.030
And so when he describes himself here as being in heaven above
00:13:52.234 --> 00:14:01.176
All the earth, but yet at the same time, he says, he stoops
00:14:01.176 --> 00:14:07.082
Down just to look on us, to look on you, to look on me, to make
00:14:07.082 --> 00:14:14.156
Sure you are good, to make sure that you have everything that
00:14:14.156 --> 00:14:19.495
You need.
00:14:19.495 --> 00:14:20.863
He has your best interest.
00:14:20.863 --> 00:14:22.398
He says, "who is like unto the lord who sits high, but yet he
00:14:22.398 --> 00:14:27.670
Stoops down to look on and to behold the things of the earth."
00:14:27.670 --> 00:14:35.844
Let's read verse 7m "he raises the poor from the dust and lifts
00:14:35.844 --> 00:14:44.820
The needy from the ash heap.
00:14:44.820 --> 00:14:48.924
He seats them with princes, with the princes of his people."
00:14:48.924 --> 00:14:58.534
And i'm telling you in verse 9, i love this, it says, "he
00:14:58.534 --> 00:15:02.271
Settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother
00:15:02.271 --> 00:15:12.081
Of children."
00:15:12.081 --> 00:15:14.550
Praise the lord.
00:15:14.550 --> 00:15:17.753
Praise the lord, church.
00:15:17.753 --> 00:15:21.657
And so we see how we can benefit by him humbling himself here in
00:15:21.657 --> 00:15:29.365
Verse 6, king james talks about how he bends down, how he lowers
00:15:29.365 --> 00:15:36.071
Himself, how he condescends and submits on our behalf.
00:15:36.071 --> 00:15:42.511
And then he raises the person who is poor out of poverty.
00:15:42.511 --> 00:15:49.084
How many god has brought you out of poverty?
00:15:49.084 --> 00:15:54.023
And he says that, "not only does he bring the poor out of
00:15:54.023 --> 00:15:57.092
Poverty, but he's a lifter tonight."
00:15:57.092 --> 00:16:00.195
Some of you may have, you know, thoughts of depression in the
00:16:00.195 --> 00:16:05.167
Past or thoughts of sadness of the past, but how many of you
00:16:05.167 --> 00:16:08.437
Know he's a lifter tonight?
00:16:08.437 --> 00:16:13.375
He says that, "he's the lifter of the needy out of
00:16:13.375 --> 00:16:18.814
The dunghill."
00:16:18.814 --> 00:16:20.482
Because you know the enemy wants us to stay in that place of
00:16:20.482 --> 00:16:26.121
Self-pitying, feeling unworthy and undeserving and in shame and
00:16:26.121 --> 00:16:36.098
Condescending and all those things.
00:16:36.098 --> 00:16:39.668
But thank god that he is the lifter tonight.
00:16:39.668 --> 00:16:43.372
Somebody say, "he is a lifter tonight."
00:16:43.372 --> 00:16:48.243
Thank you.
00:16:48.243 --> 00:16:49.878
And so it's a matter of us receiving what has already
00:16:49.878 --> 00:16:54.083
Been done.
00:16:54.083 --> 00:16:58.053
Now, goodness, i want to read all of this.
00:16:58.053 --> 00:17:03.125
Let's just kinda go to verse 2, "early in the morning, he came
00:17:03.125 --> 00:17:11.733
Into the temple and all the people came unto him and he sat
00:17:11.733 --> 00:17:15.537
Down and taught them.
00:17:15.537 --> 00:17:17.806
Scribes and the pharisees brought unto him a woman taken
00:17:17.806 --> 00:17:21.777
In adultery.
00:17:21.777 --> 00:17:23.145
And when they had sat her in the midst, they say unto him,
00:17:23.145 --> 00:17:31.153
'master, this woman was taken in adultery in the very act.'"
00:17:31.153 --> 00:17:38.760
My god, was she in adultery by herself?
00:17:38.760 --> 00:17:46.301
That's what i'm trying to figure out.
00:17:46.301 --> 00:17:52.674
Some say and some believe that this was orchestrated.
00:17:52.674 --> 00:17:56.211
And this was all about those behind the scenes who were
00:17:56.211 --> 00:18:00.916
Really just trying to shame her more and condemn her more.
00:18:00.916 --> 00:18:04.520
But, nevertheless, we know you can't be in adultery
00:18:04.520 --> 00:18:07.756
By yourself.
00:18:07.756 --> 00:18:09.992
So it says in verse 5, "now, moses in the law commanded us
00:18:09.992 --> 00:18:14.296
That such should be stoned.
00:18:14.296 --> 00:18:17.132
But what sayest thou?"
00:18:17.132 --> 00:18:20.402
They wanted to know jesus's opinion.
00:18:20.402 --> 00:18:23.539
"this, they said, tempting him that they might have to
00:18:23.539 --> 00:18:27.709
Accuse him.
00:18:27.709 --> 00:18:29.545
But jesus,"
00:18:29.545 --> 00:18:34.750
He is stooping, i'm telling you.
00:18:36.251 --> 00:18:40.088
"and just like jesus stooped down, it's our responsibility to
00:18:40.088 --> 00:18:47.162
Recognize and receive his presence in our life and to do
00:18:47.162 --> 00:18:52.768
And receive what he wants to take place."
00:18:52.768 --> 00:18:55.070
He says, "but jesus stooped down, he humbled himself, he
00:18:55.070 --> 00:19:00.642
Lowered himself, he bent down, and with his finger wrote on the
00:19:00.642 --> 00:19:06.281
Ground as though he heard them not."
00:19:06.281 --> 00:19:14.189
Anybody glad that he stooped down?
00:19:14.189 --> 00:19:18.627
I remember when i was in college and just trying my best to
00:19:18.627 --> 00:19:23.398
Figure out how to go to hell as quick as i could.
00:19:23.398 --> 00:19:30.172
And i'm telling you, i think i was trying to be the party girl
00:19:30.172 --> 00:19:35.344
On the campus.
00:19:35.344 --> 00:19:38.080
But it was something about-- almost 40 years ago when i got
00:19:38.080 --> 00:19:45.787
Down on my knees in my dorm room in college and received him into
00:19:45.787 --> 00:19:51.627
My life.
00:19:51.627 --> 00:19:55.264
He stooped down right there.
00:19:55.264 --> 00:19:57.499
I'll never forget it.
00:19:57.499 --> 00:20:01.069
And how many of you can remember situations and circumstances in
00:20:01.069 --> 00:20:04.740
Your life where there was an indelible mark on his presence,
00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:09.244
His spirit just swooped in, in the middle of the mess, in
00:20:09.244 --> 00:20:13.982
The middle of the jump, in the middle of the addictions.
00:20:13.982 --> 00:20:17.586
And you know, without any shadow of a doubt, that it was
00:20:17.586 --> 00:20:19.988
The lord.
00:20:19.988 --> 00:20:22.190
He says, "i will make the childless woman a happy mother."
00:20:22.190 --> 00:20:28.397
So it doesn't matter what the circumstances are.
00:20:28.397 --> 00:20:31.733
And how sarah said, you know, i can't have a child.
00:20:31.733 --> 00:20:35.871
But how many, you know when god begins to swoop down, things
00:20:35.871 --> 00:20:39.374
Begin to happen, the impossible becomes possible, miraculous
00:20:39.374 --> 00:20:45.080
Things began to happen.
00:20:45.080 --> 00:20:47.282
And i'm telling you, that's the god that we serve.
00:20:47.282 --> 00:20:51.620
And so it was jesus who asked them, he says, "now he that is
00:20:51.620 --> 00:20:56.758
Without sin, cast the first stone."
00:20:56.758 --> 00:21:01.763
I wish you would.
00:21:01.763 --> 00:21:06.001
You wanna accuse me, but your own sin is going to accuse you.
00:21:06.001 --> 00:21:13.508
And that's what sin does.
00:21:13.508 --> 00:21:16.044
But thank god he was a lifter, that he intervened.
00:21:16.044 --> 00:21:22.584
How many of us are willing to stoop down in other people's
00:21:22.584 --> 00:21:25.487
Mess and other people's life and lift and elevate and promote and
00:21:25.487 --> 00:21:31.393
Humble ourselves and be willing to be used by god as an
00:21:31.393 --> 00:21:38.166
Instrument, as a channel, as a vessel to bring a word, to give
00:21:38.166 --> 00:21:44.373
A hug, to say something, to be kind?
00:21:44.373 --> 00:21:49.578
I mean, you know, that'll lift, that'll take people out.
00:21:49.578 --> 00:21:56.084
That'll keep somebody from committing suicide tonight.
00:21:56.084 --> 00:21:59.421
That'll keep someone from cutting themselves.
00:21:59.421 --> 00:22:02.357
That'll keep somebody from shooting up.
00:22:02.357 --> 00:22:04.426
That'll keep somebody from turning up the bottle because he
00:22:04.426 --> 00:22:09.664
Is the god who stoops down.
00:22:09.664 --> 00:22:11.433
I'm telling you he will stoop down.
00:22:11.433 --> 00:22:13.935
All he needs is somebody who will make room.
00:22:13.935 --> 00:22:18.340
Somebody who would dare to trust him.
00:22:18.340 --> 00:22:21.443
Somebody who understands that this is god who is working
00:22:21.443 --> 00:22:25.313
Behind the scenes.
00:22:25.313 --> 00:22:27.282
There is nothing that is too messy.
00:22:27.282 --> 00:22:29.885
There's nothing that is too dirty.
00:22:29.885 --> 00:22:32.187
There is nothing where the towel has been thrown in that he
00:22:32.187 --> 00:22:36.358
Cannot change.
00:22:36.358 --> 00:22:41.596
He is a change maker and he wants to change things in
00:22:41.596 --> 00:22:47.269
Our life.
00:22:47.269 --> 00:22:48.637
Look over at psalms 139.
00:22:48.637 --> 00:22:50.906
Glory be to god.
00:22:50.906 --> 00:22:52.240
Is this helping you tonight?
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.778
Oh, my god.
00:22:56.778 --> 00:22:58.947
He is god who stoops.
00:22:58.947 --> 00:23:04.186
Love that stoops is grace.
00:23:04.186 --> 00:23:08.824
The love that we receive, that love that's been shed abroad in
00:23:08.824 --> 00:23:12.627
Our heart by the holy ghost.
00:23:12.627 --> 00:23:14.362
That love that stoops is grace.
00:23:14.362 --> 00:23:17.966
On your way to where i told you to go a minute ago, psalms 18
00:23:17.966 --> 00:23:25.941
Verse 35 says, "that you stoop down to make me great."
00:23:25.941 --> 00:23:31.913
Think of that.
00:23:31.913 --> 00:23:34.149
He stoops down to make us great.
00:23:34.149 --> 00:23:40.288
Male announcer: are you ready to bounce back
00:23:44.259 --> 00:23:45.894
From adversity and trouble?
00:23:45.894 --> 00:23:47.362
Because of the finished works of jesus,
00:23:47.362 --> 00:23:49.598
All barriers blocking our full access to god have been removed.
00:23:49.598 --> 00:23:54.669
The cross gave equal footing to all,
00:23:54.669 --> 00:23:57.038
Regardless of gender or nationality.
00:23:57.038 --> 00:23:59.708
In taffi dollar's five-message series,
00:23:59.708 --> 00:24:01.977
"leveling the playing field," she offers tools
00:24:01.977 --> 00:24:05.146
To access the many promises god has made.
00:24:05.146 --> 00:24:08.016
Taffi: everything changed when jesus died;
00:24:08.016 --> 00:24:11.653
Because at the foot of the cross we all look the same.
00:24:11.653 --> 00:24:15.790
You have access, you have opportunity,
00:24:15.790 --> 00:24:18.994
And in christ, you have a fair chance.
00:24:18.994 --> 00:24:22.197
I read the end of the book, glory be to god, and we win!

And i'll say it so you can repeat after me.

Repeat after me, heavenly father, i believe that jesus is
00:26:37.032 --> 00:26:42.470
The son of god and that he died and was raised from the dead
00:26:42.470 --> 00:26:48.309
And has forgiven all of my sins, and i receive him into my life
00:26:48.309 --> 00:26:56.251
