  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.346
  • Male announcer: this program is brought to you in part by the
  • 00:00:01.481 --> 00:00:03.483

  • 00:00:03.616 --> 00:00:06.019
  • Announcer: coming up next on "changing your world."
  • 00:00:08.188 --> 00:00:10.256
  • Creflo dollar: i was never taught that prosperity flowed
  • 00:00:11.558 --> 00:00:15.395
  • From god's favor.
  • 00:00:15.395 --> 00:00:17.030
  • I thought it flowed from my self-effort, i thought it flowed
  • 00:00:17.030 --> 00:00:20.934
  • From my religion.
  • 00:00:20.934 --> 00:00:24.571
  • I thought it flowed from my religious performance, that i
  • 00:00:24.571 --> 00:00:28.508
  • Had to perform in order to get the prosperity to flow my way.
  • 00:00:28.508 --> 00:00:32.445
  • It does not.
  • 00:00:32.445 --> 00:00:34.147
  • Your wholeness, your prosperity, flows from god's
  • 00:00:34.147 --> 00:00:38.585
  • Unmerited favor.
  • 00:00:38.585 --> 00:00:40.053
  • In other words, your prosperity, your wholeness, is a result of
  • 00:00:40.053 --> 00:00:45.024
  • The favor of god.
  • 00:00:45.024 --> 00:00:46.493

  • Female: just about everybody that gave their testimony and
  • 00:00:55.935 --> 00:00:59.072
  • Asking questions and getting answers, i was getting some of

  • The answers i needed.
  • 00:01:02.475 --> 00:01:03.943
  • Female: it was like a atmosphere of freedom.
  • 00:01:03.943 --> 00:01:05.912

  • Creflo: if you have your bibles, go with me to the book of romans
  • 00:01:56.829 --> 00:01:59.632
  • Chapter 12 and verse 2, i'm going to read out of the
  • 00:01:59.632 --> 00:02:02.235
  • Message translation.
  • 00:02:02.235 --> 00:02:03.903
  • Last week we began to talk about "grace mentality for
  • 00:02:03.903 --> 00:02:07.507
  • True prosperity."
  • 00:02:07.507 --> 00:02:09.542
  • "grace mentality for true prosperity."
  • 00:02:09.542 --> 00:02:12.378
  • And one of the things i want to remind you over and over and
  • 00:02:12.378 --> 00:02:16.049
  • Over again is that prosperity is not defined money.
  • 00:02:16.049 --> 00:02:24.290
  • Finances do not define prosperity.
  • 00:02:24.290 --> 00:02:31.698
  • Wholeness defines prosperity, not just money.
  • 00:02:31.698 --> 00:02:36.035
  • Remember genesis 39, he said joseph was a prosperous man
  • 00:02:36.035 --> 00:02:41.708
  • Because the lord was with him, not because money was with him.
  • 00:02:41.708 --> 00:02:46.212
  • He was prosperous because of his nearness with god.
  • 00:02:46.212 --> 00:02:49.649
  • He was prosperous because the lord was with him.
  • 00:02:49.649 --> 00:02:52.719
  • He was a slave.
  • 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.487
  • He didn't have any material things and yet the bible said he
  • 00:02:54.487 --> 00:02:57.724
  • Was prosperous because the lord was with him.
  • 00:02:57.724 --> 00:03:01.027
  • So it is the presence of god that makes you prosperous.
  • 00:03:01.027 --> 00:03:08.234
  • Prosperity is wholeness, not just money.
  • 00:03:08.234 --> 00:03:11.304
  • And for a long time, the world defines it as money and the
  • 00:03:11.304 --> 00:03:15.108
  • Churches defines it as money.
  • 00:03:15.108 --> 00:03:17.210
  • Now does it include money?
  • 00:03:17.210 --> 00:03:18.544
  • Put my pie up there just for a moment.
  • 00:03:18.544 --> 00:03:20.013
  • I won't stay there long, but prosperity is wholeness.
  • 00:03:20.013 --> 00:03:23.516
  • You can have money but not have peace, you're not prosperous.
  • 00:03:23.516 --> 00:03:28.121
  • You can have peace for a little while and not have no money and
  • 00:03:28.121 --> 00:03:31.724
  • Won't be prosperous.
  • 00:03:31.724 --> 00:03:33.059
  • It's everything in the pie.
  • 00:03:33.059 --> 00:03:35.128
  • Nothing missing, nothing broken.
  • 00:03:35.128 --> 00:03:38.631
  • Prosperity is this pie, it's finances, it's health, it's joy,
  • 00:03:38.631 --> 00:03:42.368
  • It's security, it's purpose, it's peace, it's identity,
  • 00:03:42.368 --> 00:03:45.405
  • It's relationship.
  • 00:03:45.405 --> 00:03:47.874
  • But it's not just money.
  • 00:03:47.874 --> 00:03:49.976
  • If you get rid of all of the other pieces in the pie, that's
  • 00:03:49.976 --> 00:03:53.313
  • Not prosperity.
  • 00:03:53.313 --> 00:03:54.647
  • You're not whole if you just have money but don't have
  • 00:03:54.647 --> 00:03:56.482
  • Health, don't have peace, don't have joy.
  • 00:03:56.482 --> 00:03:59.652
  • It's all of those people-- all those pieces that make
  • 00:03:59.652 --> 00:04:02.088
  • You whole.
  • 00:04:02.088 --> 00:04:03.723
  • That's prosperity, wholeness in every area of your life.
  • 00:04:03.723 --> 00:04:08.895
  • You can take away finances and say, "well, i still have joy."
  • 00:04:08.895 --> 00:04:13.633
  • You can say, "i still have health," but not for long
  • 00:04:13.633 --> 00:04:16.402
  • Because now you ain't got the money to go see the doctor or
  • 00:04:16.402 --> 00:04:19.405
  • You ain't got the joy and it disappears.
  • 00:04:19.405 --> 00:04:22.108
  • Or you can have finances and not have peace.
  • 00:04:22.108 --> 00:04:26.212
  • Who wants a bunch of stuff and you ain't got peace?
  • 00:04:26.212 --> 00:04:29.515
  • Who wants a big house and nobody wants to stay with you?
  • 00:04:29.515 --> 00:04:33.886
  • Who wants to brag about having a $5000 suit, but there's nobody
  • 00:04:33.886 --> 00:04:37.890
  • Around saying you're sharp?
  • 00:04:37.890 --> 00:04:41.160
  • Who wants to be dying of cancer and not--and have a lot
  • 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.198
  • Of money?
  • 00:04:45.198 --> 00:04:46.566
  • You're just a sick man with a lot of money that somebody else
  • 00:04:46.566 --> 00:04:49.569
  • Is going to get because you're getting ready to die.
  • 00:04:49.569 --> 00:04:52.972
  • Prosperity is defined wholeness.
  • 00:04:52.972 --> 00:04:57.076
  • And in this teaching today i will use those words
  • 00:04:57.076 --> 00:05:00.113
  • Interchangeably to remind you that when i say prosperity, i'm
  • 00:05:00.113 --> 00:05:03.783
  • Not talking just about money.
  • 00:05:03.783 --> 00:05:05.885
  • Money is included, but it's not just money, it's all
  • 00:05:05.885 --> 00:05:09.555
  • Of everything.
  • 00:05:09.555 --> 00:05:10.923
  • It's wholeness in your life.
  • 00:05:10.923 --> 00:05:12.258
  • It's nothing missing and nothing broken in your life.
  • 00:05:12.258 --> 00:05:15.661
  • It is your financial provision, it's your peace, it's your
  • 00:05:15.661 --> 00:05:18.564
  • Health, it's your fruitful relationship, it's a sense
  • 00:05:18.564 --> 00:05:21.768
  • Of purpose.
  • 00:05:21.768 --> 00:05:23.102
  • All of these things when jesus said, "i came that you might
  • 00:05:23.102 --> 00:05:25.405
  • Have life and have it more abundantly."
  • 00:05:25.405 --> 00:05:27.473
  • If there's anything missing or broken in this pie, that's
  • 00:05:27.473 --> 00:05:31.144
  • Not wholeness.
  • 00:05:31.144 --> 00:05:32.478
  • You're whole because there's nothing missing and nothing
  • 00:05:32.478 --> 00:05:35.081
  • Broken and that is prosperity.
  • 00:05:35.081 --> 00:05:38.418
  • You understand?
  • 00:05:38.418 --> 00:05:42.555
  • Now, let's go ahead and get started with this.
  • 00:05:42.555 --> 00:05:45.258
  • A grace mentality.
  • 00:05:45.258 --> 00:05:47.794
  • Because i'm going to show you today that wholeness or
  • 00:05:47.794 --> 00:05:50.430
  • Prosperity is a finished work of jesus.
  • 00:05:50.430 --> 00:05:54.100
  • That what i just showed you in that pie is not something that
  • 00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:57.036
  • You have to strive for.
  • 00:05:57.036 --> 00:05:59.372
  • It's not something you have to sweat for.
  • 00:05:59.372 --> 00:06:02.308
  • It's already finished.
  • 00:06:02.308 --> 00:06:05.778
  • Ephesians 1:20--ephesians 1:3 says: "you have been blessed
  • 00:06:05.778 --> 00:06:09.282
  • With all spiritual blessings in heavenly places."
  • 00:06:09.282 --> 00:06:11.751
  • You've already been blessed.
  • 00:06:11.751 --> 00:06:14.420
  • You've already prospered.
  • 00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:15.755
  • It's just like your righteousness.
  • 00:06:15.755 --> 00:06:17.123
  • You've already been made righteous.
  • 00:06:17.123 --> 00:06:18.458
  • You don't have to strive or perform to become righteous
  • 00:06:18.458 --> 00:06:22.128
  • Because that's--god gifted you with righteousness, that's a
  • 00:06:22.128 --> 00:06:25.064
  • Gift from him.
  • 00:06:25.064 --> 00:06:26.432
  • Well, this wholeness, this prosperity, is a gift from god.
  • 00:06:26.432 --> 00:06:30.069
  • And so what we've got to do, i got to work through this thing
  • 00:06:30.069 --> 00:06:32.672
  • Of, "well, i've got to perform in my giving and i've got to
  • 00:06:32.672 --> 00:06:37.710
  • Perform--" see, there's a reason why you give.
  • 00:06:37.710 --> 00:06:40.246
  • You're giving because you trust that god has already taken care
  • 00:06:40.246 --> 00:06:43.649
  • Of you.
  • 00:06:43.649 --> 00:06:44.984
  • That's why you give, and you're giving because you know god's
  • 00:06:44.984 --> 00:06:47.153
  • Taken care of you and you give so you can receive the
  • 00:06:47.153 --> 00:06:50.556
  • Generosity from god so you can not only be sufficient in your
  • 00:06:50.556 --> 00:06:54.093
  • Own material financial realm, but you're able to do it
  • 00:06:54.093 --> 00:06:57.296
  • Somewhere else.
  • 00:06:57.296 --> 00:06:58.631
  • Your giving is your labor to maintain your alignment with
  • 00:06:58.631 --> 00:07:03.436
  • What is already finished.
  • 00:07:03.436 --> 00:07:04.837
  • Your giving is what allows you to stay at rest about god has
  • 00:07:04.837 --> 00:07:10.176
  • Already cared for you and god has already prospered you and
  • 00:07:10.176 --> 00:07:12.879
  • God has already made you whole.
  • 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.815
  • But i've never heard anybody tell me that my prosperity, my
  • 00:07:15.815 --> 00:07:18.851
  • Wholeness, was finished.
  • 00:07:18.851 --> 00:07:21.320
  • I heard that about my redemption, i heard that about
  • 00:07:21.320 --> 00:07:23.990
  • My righteousness, i heard that about my sanctification, but i
  • 00:07:23.990 --> 00:07:28.327
  • Never heard it that i am already blessed.
  • 00:07:28.327 --> 00:07:33.199
  • I am already prosperous.
  • 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.968
  • I am already whole.
  • 00:07:35.968 --> 00:07:38.804
  • Now i got to maintain that, rest in that, trust that and anytime
  • 00:07:38.804 --> 00:07:44.343
  • Lack shows up, i begin to depend on his word, his promise, and my
  • 00:07:44.343 --> 00:07:50.850
  • Giving to align me in rest with what he has already done.
  • 00:07:50.850 --> 00:07:57.023
  • So you're already prosperous.
  • 00:07:57.023 --> 00:07:58.624
  • You may not know it, but you are.
  • 00:07:58.624 --> 00:08:02.562
  • I dare you when you ain't got a dime in your wallet to go to
  • 00:08:06.732 --> 00:08:10.136
  • Somebody and say, "i'm prosperous."
  • 00:08:10.136 --> 00:08:14.574
  • You do that with righteousness, amen.
  • 00:08:14.574 --> 00:08:18.511
  • Now let's get started.
  • 00:08:18.511 --> 00:08:21.013
  • Romans 12:1-2, i'm going to read it out of the message.
  • 00:08:21.013 --> 00:08:23.549
  • He says, "so here's what i want you to do, god helping you: take
  • 00:08:23.549 --> 00:08:28.854
  • Your everyday, ordinary life-- your sleeping, eating,
  • 00:08:28.854 --> 00:08:33.626
  • Going-to-work, and walking-around life--and place
  • 00:08:33.626 --> 00:08:38.831
  • It before god," wow.
  • 00:08:38.831 --> 00:08:42.335
  • "place your everyday walking-around life before god
  • 00:08:42.335 --> 00:08:45.972
  • As an offering."
  • 00:08:45.972 --> 00:08:48.140
  • So your everyday, walking-around, getting-up,
  • 00:08:48.140 --> 00:08:51.711
  • Going-to-wherever-you're-going, walking-about life is now
  • 00:08:51.711 --> 00:08:55.848
  • An offering.
  • 00:08:55.848 --> 00:08:57.216
  • Lord, i am offering you my everyday life.
  • 00:08:57.216 --> 00:09:00.319
  • He said, "embracing what god does for you is the best thing
  • 00:09:00.319 --> 00:09:03.889
  • You can do for him."
  • 00:09:03.889 --> 00:09:06.292
  • Embracing what he's already done.
  • 00:09:06.292 --> 00:09:08.094
  • I embrace that i'm righteous, i embrace that i'm redeemed.
  • 00:09:08.094 --> 00:09:12.298
  • I am embracing my true identity in christ, that i am righteous,
  • 00:09:12.298 --> 00:09:16.936
  • I am forgiven, i am complete in him, i am seated with him.
  • 00:09:16.936 --> 00:09:20.673
  • I embrace that.
  • 00:09:20.673 --> 00:09:22.375
  • And in my walking-around life, i have to say that, i have to
  • 00:09:22.375 --> 00:09:26.746
  • Think about that, meditate on that.
  • 00:09:26.746 --> 00:09:29.915
  • "don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit
  • 00:09:29.915 --> 00:09:34.854
  • Into it without even thinking."
  • 00:09:34.854 --> 00:09:39.025
  • Think about what you're fitting into.
  • 00:09:39.025 --> 00:09:40.960
  • Think about what you might be agreeing with.
  • 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.362
  • Don't become so adapted to your culture and you just do that and
  • 00:09:43.362 --> 00:09:46.832
  • Think that way because that's what the culture, those norms
  • 00:09:46.832 --> 00:09:49.869
  • And values in life.
  • 00:09:49.869 --> 00:09:51.303
  • Norms and values are based on, you know, the popular vote.
  • 00:09:51.303 --> 00:09:55.775
  • If a whole lot of people say this is normal and this is
  • 00:09:55.775 --> 00:09:58.444
  • What's value, then they say it's right because so many people say
  • 00:09:58.444 --> 00:10:01.580
  • It is right.
  • 00:10:01.580 --> 00:10:02.948
  • He says i want you to think.
  • 00:10:02.948 --> 00:10:04.884
  • Don't just get involved with or allow your culture to bring you
  • 00:10:04.884 --> 00:10:08.954
  • Away from what god is saying.
  • 00:10:08.954 --> 00:10:11.123
  • "instead," he says, "fix your attention on god."
  • 00:10:11.123 --> 00:10:13.959
  • Say that.
  • 00:10:13.959 --> 00:10:15.327
  • Fix your attention on god.
  • 00:10:15.327 --> 00:10:17.830
  • He says, "you'll be changed from the inside out.
  • 00:10:17.830 --> 00:10:21.867
  • Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to
  • 00:10:21.867 --> 00:10:27.206
  • Do it.
  • 00:10:27.206 --> 00:10:28.574
  • And unlike the culture around you, unlike the culture around
  • 00:10:28.574 --> 00:10:31.677
  • You--" you're not going to be like the culture around you.
  • 00:10:31.677 --> 00:10:34.180
  • "unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its
  • 00:10:34.180 --> 00:10:38.517
  • Level of immaturity," somebody get out and cuss you out, then
  • 00:10:38.517 --> 00:10:43.222
  • You want to cuss them back out.
  • 00:10:43.222 --> 00:10:44.557
  • Don't let them drag you down on their level of immaturity.
  • 00:10:44.557 --> 00:10:49.862
  • They hate you so you're going to hate them back.
  • 00:10:49.862 --> 00:10:51.363
  • Don't drag, don't--this is opportunity to grow when you
  • 00:10:51.363 --> 00:10:54.133
  • Meet that kind of conflict.
  • 00:10:54.133 --> 00:10:56.602
  • "god brings the best out of you.
  • 00:10:56.602 --> 00:10:59.171
  • He develops well-formed maturity in you."
  • 00:10:59.171 --> 00:11:02.441
  • Did you hear that?
  • 00:11:02.441 --> 00:11:03.809
  • God develops well-formed maturity in you and you do not
  • 00:11:03.809 --> 00:11:08.013
  • Mature in the comfort zone.
  • 00:11:08.013 --> 00:11:10.916
  • You mature in a zone that's not comfortable.
  • 00:11:10.916 --> 00:11:16.122
  • It's when your discomfort--it's when you're in discomfort that
  • 00:11:16.122 --> 00:11:19.291
  • You mature.
  • 00:11:19.291 --> 00:11:20.826
  • Don't complain about the trials you go through, just remind
  • 00:11:20.826 --> 00:11:24.196
  • Yourself this is an opportunity for me to mature.
  • 00:11:24.196 --> 00:11:27.266
  • Because we have to mature, but you're not going to mature in a
  • 00:11:27.266 --> 00:11:30.503
  • Comfort zone.
  • 00:11:30.503 --> 00:11:31.837
  • Now let's look at this in 2 corinthians 8:8 in the
  • 00:11:31.837 --> 00:11:34.573
  • Mirror translation.
  • 00:11:34.573 --> 00:11:36.776
  • 2 corinthians 8:8 in the mirror translation.
  • 00:11:36.776 --> 00:11:41.413
  • Now, he says, "i am not laying out rules on giving to bring you
  • 00:11:41.413 --> 00:11:47.653
  • Back into bondage and duty-driven legalism," wow.
  • 00:11:47.653 --> 00:11:54.493
  • "your sincere love, encouraged by the enthusiasm of fellow
  • 00:11:54.493 --> 00:12:00.900
  • Believers," your sincere love, that's devotion, "is what
  • 00:12:00.900 --> 00:12:05.638
  • Distinguishes your giving [from the old written code
  • 00:12:05.638 --> 00:12:09.675
  • Of tithing.]"
  • 00:12:09.675 --> 00:12:12.344
  • There's a distinction between how you give now versus the old
  • 00:12:12.344 --> 00:12:16.282
  • Written code of tithing.
  • 00:12:16.282 --> 00:12:19.118
  • And he's--this is something that people fuss at because they
  • 00:12:19.118 --> 00:12:22.454
  • Just, you know, they got to change the way they think.
  • 00:12:22.454 --> 00:12:26.025
  • Your sincere love is what's motivating how you give.
  • 00:12:26.025 --> 00:12:30.462
  • You're encouraged by the enthusiasm of fellow believers.
  • 00:12:30.462 --> 00:12:34.300
  • That's what distinguishes your giving.
  • 00:12:34.300 --> 00:12:36.936
  • There's a distinction between your giving in this new covenant
  • 00:12:36.936 --> 00:12:40.906
  • Of grace and from your giving in that old covenant of written
  • 00:12:40.906 --> 00:12:45.511
  • Codes of law and you got to recognize that.
  • 00:12:45.511 --> 00:12:48.347
  • You can't mix what's true in the old covenant with what's true in
  • 00:12:48.347 --> 00:12:52.785
  • The new covenant because you can't put new wine in old wine
  • 00:12:52.785 --> 00:12:57.289
  • Skins because it'll burst and you'll lose the benefit of both.
  • 00:12:57.289 --> 00:13:02.828
  • Now, let's rock and roll in this.
  • 00:13:02.828 --> 00:13:07.266
  • Everybody on the bus?
  • 00:13:07.266 --> 00:13:09.335
  • Okay, grace-based prosperity, according to the new covenant,
  • 00:13:09.335 --> 00:13:17.209
  • Is a prosperity or a wholeness that flows from god's
  • 00:13:17.209 --> 00:13:22.481
  • Unmerited favor.
  • 00:13:22.481 --> 00:13:24.884
  • Grace-based prosperity or wholeness flows from god's
  • 00:13:24.884 --> 00:13:29.722
  • Unmerited favor.
  • 00:13:29.722 --> 00:13:31.390
  • So it's flowing from his favor, it's flowing from his unmerited
  • 00:13:31.390 --> 00:13:35.394
  • Favor rather than your human effort or your religion.
  • 00:13:35.394 --> 00:13:40.766
  • I was never taught that prosperity flowed from
  • 00:13:40.766 --> 00:13:45.337
  • God's favor.
  • 00:13:45.337 --> 00:13:46.705
  • I thought it flowed from my self-effort, i thought it flowed
  • 00:13:46.705 --> 00:13:50.142
  • From my religion.
  • 00:13:50.142 --> 00:13:53.779
  • I thought it flowed from my religious performance, that i
  • 00:13:53.779 --> 00:13:57.750
  • Had to perform in order to get the prosperity to flow my way.
  • 00:13:57.750 --> 00:14:01.620
  • It does not.
  • 00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:03.389
  • Your wholeness, your prosperity, flows from god's
  • 00:14:03.389 --> 00:14:07.793
  • Unmerited favor.
  • 00:14:07.793 --> 00:14:09.261
  • In other words, your prosperity, your wholeness, is a result of
  • 00:14:09.261 --> 00:14:14.266
  • The favor of god.
  • 00:14:14.266 --> 00:14:16.936
  • It's not a result of your religious performance.
  • 00:14:16.936 --> 00:14:20.439
  • Change your thinking.
  • 00:14:20.439 --> 00:14:21.774
  • We're going to jack that thinking up today.
  • 00:14:21.774 --> 00:14:24.910
  • And you're going to see stuff happen in your life, you're
  • 00:14:24.910 --> 00:14:28.013
  • Like, "whoa, where did that come from?"
  • 00:14:28.013 --> 00:14:30.282
  • From somebody who receives the favor of god, all right?
  • 00:14:30.282 --> 00:14:35.688
  • Now, here's what i want to do.
  • 00:14:35.688 --> 00:14:38.123
  • I want to pick up where we left off.
  • 00:14:38.123 --> 00:14:40.225
  • To continue walking in this wholeness, to continue walking
  • 00:14:40.225 --> 00:14:45.064
  • In this prosperity, a devotion to a few things can help you to
  • 00:14:45.064 --> 00:14:50.402
  • Continue to walk in wholeness and to continue to walk
  • 00:14:50.402 --> 00:14:52.871
  • In prosperity.
  • 00:14:52.871 --> 00:14:54.239
  • I want to give you a definition of devotion.
  • 00:14:54.239 --> 00:14:55.574
  • I know i'm being a little anal here but devotion is love and
  • 00:14:55.574 --> 00:15:00.045
  • Loyalty and enthusiasm for your--for god and for
  • 00:15:00.045 --> 00:15:08.620
  • Activities, for--it's love, it's enthusiasm, it's loyalty,
  • 00:15:08.620 --> 00:15:14.693
  • And so i'm doing what i do out of love.
  • 00:15:14.693 --> 00:15:17.029
  • I'm doing what i do out of my loyalty to god and i'm doing
  • 00:15:17.029 --> 00:15:21.133
  • What i'm doing enthusiastically because i am convinced of god's
  • 00:15:21.133 --> 00:15:25.971
  • Care for me.
  • 00:15:25.971 --> 00:15:27.506
  • So i want to give you four things.
  • 00:15:27.506 --> 00:15:29.074
  • I gave you three last week.
  • 00:15:29.074 --> 00:15:30.409
  • We ran out of time.
  • 00:15:30.409 --> 00:15:32.244
  • In order to continue to walk-- practical things, in order to
  • 00:15:32.244 --> 00:15:35.848
  • Continue to walk in prosperity or wholeness.
  • 00:15:35.848 --> 00:15:38.951
  • Number one, believing and resting in your true identity.
  • 00:15:38.951 --> 00:15:44.189
  • That's always going to be the key.
  • 00:15:44.189 --> 00:15:45.758
  • Believing and resting in your true identity.
  • 00:15:45.758 --> 00:15:47.893
  • Everything flows from your true identity.
  • 00:15:47.893 --> 00:15:50.396
  • All of the gifts that god has flows from your true identity.
  • 00:15:50.396 --> 00:15:55.234
  • Your wholeness flows from your true identity.
  • 00:15:55.234 --> 00:15:58.203
  • Who are you in christ?
  • 00:15:58.203 --> 00:16:00.039
  • Do you believe that you are that person?
  • 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:02.074
  • Do you believe that you are the mirror image of jesus christ?
  • 00:16:02.074 --> 00:16:06.045
  • That when you see him you will be like him, you'll be like him
  • 00:16:06.045 --> 00:16:09.748
  • Because you'll see him as he really is.
  • 00:16:09.748 --> 00:16:13.852
  • You are--when jesus sees you and you see jesus, when you see
  • 00:16:13.852 --> 00:16:17.990
  • Jesus you should say, "oh, that looks just like me."
  • 00:16:17.990 --> 00:16:21.627
  • Because when jesus sees you, watch this, because this is
  • 00:16:21.627 --> 00:16:24.396
  • Going to blow your mind.
  • 00:16:24.396 --> 00:16:25.731
  • He's going to say, "oh, that looks just like me."
  • 00:16:25.731 --> 00:16:27.066
  • See, you're thinking about your human side.
  • 00:16:27.066 --> 00:16:30.202
  • You follow what i'm saying?
  • 00:16:30.202 --> 00:16:31.804
  • That's not that.
  • 00:16:31.804 --> 00:16:33.672
  • You've got to get to that point where you're like i am
  • 00:16:33.672 --> 00:16:36.408
  • Righteous, that's my true identity.
  • 00:16:36.408 --> 00:16:39.144
  • I am forgiven, that's my true identity.
  • 00:16:39.144 --> 00:16:41.713
  • I am complete in jesus, that's my true identity.
  • 00:16:41.713 --> 00:16:45.984
  • I am seated with him, that's my true identity.
  • 00:16:45.984 --> 00:16:49.288
  • When he was--when he died, i died.
  • 00:16:49.288 --> 00:16:51.223
  • When he was resurrected, i resurrected.
  • 00:16:51.223 --> 00:16:52.724
  • When he was ascended on high, i ascended with him.
  • 00:16:52.724 --> 00:16:54.726
  • When he took a seat, i took a seat with him, that's your
  • 00:16:54.726 --> 00:16:57.596
  • True identity.
  • 00:16:57.596 --> 00:16:58.964
  • That's your--you have to receive that right now, that's who i am.
  • 00:16:58.964 --> 00:17:02.835
  • Because if you don't know who you are, the devil will do you
  • 00:17:02.835 --> 00:17:05.204
  • Like he did adam and eve and have you going around hiding
  • 00:17:05.204 --> 00:17:08.273
  • Because of shame.
  • 00:17:08.273 --> 00:17:09.641
  • But jesus demonstrates how to maintain their true identity.
  • 00:17:09.641 --> 00:17:12.878
  • He comes to jesus, he says, "turn these stones into bread."
  • 00:17:12.878 --> 00:17:16.281
  • And jesus was like, "why do i need to turn stone into bread to
  • 00:17:16.281 --> 00:17:19.618
  • Prove to you what i already know about me?"
  • 00:17:19.618 --> 00:17:24.890
  • And when temptation comes your way, the best way to overcome
  • 00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:29.261
  • Temptation is to remember who you are.
  • 00:17:29.261 --> 00:17:32.397
  • Remember who you are and whose you are.
  • 00:17:35.901 --> 00:17:39.671
  • So now when you rest and believe and rest in your true
  • 00:17:39.671 --> 00:17:46.345
  • Identity, believe and rest in your true identity, so when fear
  • 00:17:46.345 --> 00:17:51.183
  • Comes, you say, "that's not me."
  • 00:17:51.183 --> 00:17:54.386
  • When you got the urge to want to do something or cause harm to
  • 00:17:54.386 --> 00:17:58.123
  • Somebody, "that's not me."
  • 00:17:58.123 --> 00:18:00.526
  • When you have the urge to try to, you know, be a narcissist,
  • 00:18:00.526 --> 00:18:07.399
  • You're like, "that's not me."
  • 00:18:07.399 --> 00:18:10.302
  • You go around and you hold unforgiveness, you're like,
  • 00:18:10.302 --> 00:18:12.604
  • "that's not me."
  • 00:18:12.604 --> 00:18:13.939
  • I think it's important for you to tell yourself when you're
  • 00:18:13.939 --> 00:18:17.509
  • Tempted to do something, "that's not me.
  • 00:18:17.509 --> 00:18:21.113
  • I am righteous, i am forgiven, i am complete in him.
  • 00:18:21.113 --> 00:18:24.783
  • I am seated with him in heavenly places."
  • 00:18:24.783 --> 00:18:27.019
  • See, we've tried to modify our behavior before we accepted
  • 00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:31.356
  • Our identity.
  • 00:18:31.356 --> 00:18:33.225
  • And your behavior cannot determine your identity, but
  • 00:18:33.225 --> 00:18:37.296
  • Your identity can determine your behavior.
  • 00:18:37.296 --> 00:18:42.067
  • But you won't believe who you are.
  • 00:18:42.067 --> 00:18:44.503
  • You keep trying to work on modifying what you do instead of
  • 00:18:44.503 --> 00:18:48.941
  • Believing and resting in who you are.
  • 00:18:48.941 --> 00:18:51.577
  • I am the righteousness of god right now.
  • 00:18:51.577 --> 00:18:54.379
  • I am.
  • 00:18:54.379 --> 00:18:55.714
  • And i know you don't feel like it, i know religion tells you
  • 00:18:55.714 --> 00:18:57.916
  • You're not, but your identity is not based on what somebody says,
  • 00:18:57.916 --> 00:19:01.486
  • It's not based on your past, it's not based on your enemies,
  • 00:19:01.486 --> 00:19:04.790
  • It's based on what jesus said.
  • 00:19:04.790 --> 00:19:06.625
  • He says you're righteous, he says you're forgiven, he says
  • 00:19:06.625 --> 00:19:09.261
  • You're complete in him, he says you're seated with him.
  • 00:19:09.261 --> 00:19:12.097
  • That is who i am, that's what i'm going to hold on, i don't
  • 00:19:12.097 --> 00:19:14.933
  • Care, come hell or high water, that's who i am.
  • 00:19:14.933 --> 00:19:18.070
  • I live by the faith of the son of god.
  • 00:19:18.070 --> 00:19:21.006
  • When i see him, it's like looking at myself in the mirror.
  • 00:19:21.006 --> 00:19:28.180
  • That's who i am.
  • 00:19:31.583 --> 00:19:32.985
  • Won't change it.
  • 00:19:32.985 --> 00:19:35.020
  • That's who i am when i'm up, when i'm down, when i'm feeling
  • 00:19:35.020 --> 00:19:38.757
  • Bad, when i'm trying to figure out what's going on, that's who
  • 00:19:38.757 --> 00:19:40.792
  • I am.
  • 00:19:40.792 --> 00:19:42.160
  • I had to make my mind up.
  • 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:43.495
  • There's nothing you're going to do to change who i believe and
  • 00:19:43.495 --> 00:19:49.334
  • What i rest in concerning my identity.
  • 00:19:49.334 --> 00:19:51.903
  • It is locked, it is done, it is finished, it's completed, it
  • 00:19:51.903 --> 00:19:56.575
  • Can't be undone.
  • 00:19:56.575 --> 00:19:58.043
  • You can't touch this.
  • 00:19:58.043 --> 00:19:59.578
  • I am.
  • 00:19:59.578 --> 00:20:00.912
  • It took all this time for me to figure out who i am.
  • 00:20:00.912 --> 00:20:03.081
  • Now that i know who i am, no person, no devil in hell, no
  • 00:20:03.081 --> 00:20:08.287
  • Enemy, nobody going to change my mind about who i am.
  • 00:20:08.287 --> 00:20:12.658
  • Now, when that becomes a reality, all of the finished
  • 00:20:12.658 --> 00:20:17.729
  • Works of jesus can now flow through that.
  • 00:20:17.729 --> 00:20:22.434
  • Somebody say, what are you saying?
  • 00:20:22.434 --> 00:20:23.969
  • The gift of righteousness try to flow through you and you're
  • 00:20:23.969 --> 00:20:26.505
  • Doubting your identity, it won't be long before you'll start
  • 00:20:26.505 --> 00:20:29.174
  • Doubting that you're the righteousness of god.
  • 00:20:29.174 --> 00:20:32.911
  • If healing wants to flow through you but you're doubting your
  • 00:20:32.911 --> 00:20:37.516
  • Identity, you're going back and saying, "well, i wasn't too good
  • 00:20:37.516 --> 00:20:39.751
  • Yesterday, the other day was kind of hard," then it has a
  • 00:20:39.751 --> 00:20:42.721
  • Problem flowing because you doubt who you are.
  • 00:20:42.721 --> 00:20:46.591
  • Whatever gifts that god has presented towards you, including
  • 00:20:46.591 --> 00:20:49.394
  • Your salvation, if you can question your identity, you will
  • 00:20:49.394 --> 00:20:54.599
  • Question the gifts.
  • 00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:56.435
  • You will question everything that god has done for you and
  • 00:20:56.435 --> 00:20:59.771
  • Everything that god wants to give you.
  • 00:20:59.771 --> 00:21:01.473
  • Right now, my biggest thing is trying to convince people that
  • 00:21:01.473 --> 00:21:05.711
  • They are who the word says that they are, and you keep trying to
  • 00:21:05.711 --> 00:21:09.081
  • Measure that based on human standards and not based on
  • 00:21:09.081 --> 00:21:13.885
  • Spiritual standards.
  • 00:21:13.885 --> 00:21:15.220
  • I am who he says i am.
  • 00:21:15.220 --> 00:21:17.823
  • And i tell you, if you get a hold of that, behavior
  • 00:21:17.823 --> 00:21:20.559
  • Starts changing.
  • 00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:21.927
  • All of a sudden you don't want that weed no more.
  • 00:21:21.927 --> 00:21:23.695
  • All of a sudden you don't want to hop into bed with everybody
  • 00:21:23.695 --> 00:21:25.697
  • No more.
  • 00:21:25.697 --> 00:21:27.032
  • All of a sudden you're not walking around mean, cussing
  • 00:21:27.032 --> 00:21:28.367
  • Everybody out no more, why?
  • 00:21:28.367 --> 00:21:29.701
  • Because that's not you.
  • 00:21:29.701 --> 00:21:35.006
  • You see how this works?
  • 00:21:35.006 --> 00:21:36.875
  • See, here's what--i know what the devil's been doing.
  • 00:21:36.875 --> 00:21:38.910
  • He's been saying you're a hypocrite, you're going around
  • 00:21:38.910 --> 00:21:41.179
  • Talking about you're righteous and you know what you did
  • 00:21:41.179 --> 00:21:43.582
  • Last night.
  • 00:21:43.582 --> 00:21:44.950
  • See, that's when you can really rise up in what you say you
  • 00:21:44.950 --> 00:21:48.653
  • Believe and say, "i am the righteousness of god even though
  • 00:21:48.653 --> 00:21:51.790
  • That dumb decision i made last night,
  • 00:21:51.790 --> 00:21:53.925
  • I'm the righteousness of god."
  • 00:21:53.925 --> 00:21:55.260
  • Because your righteousness is not based on what you do; your
  • 00:21:55.260 --> 00:21:57.696
  • Righteousness is based on what jesus has already done.
  • 00:21:57.696 --> 00:22:00.332
  • "yeah, but--" you better get that but out of the way and go
  • 00:22:03.635 --> 00:22:06.538
  • And be righteous.
  • 00:22:06.538 --> 00:22:10.108
  • All right, so believing and resting in your identity in
  • 00:22:10.108 --> 00:22:13.345
  • Christ, knowing that you're already blessed.
  • 00:22:13.345 --> 00:22:17.449
  • Knowing that you're already blessed and that you don't have
  • 00:22:17.449 --> 00:22:21.520
  • To keep striving for something that you already are and that
  • 00:22:21.520 --> 00:22:25.924
  • You already have.
  • 00:22:25.924 --> 00:22:27.426
  • So as i believe in rest in my identity, then i also will
  • 00:22:27.426 --> 00:22:32.230
  • Continue to walk in wholeness and walk in prosperity because
  • 00:22:32.230 --> 00:22:36.168
  • Through my identity i already have.
  • 00:22:36.168 --> 00:22:40.372
  • I'm not trying to strive to get.
  • 00:22:40.372 --> 00:22:43.475
  • I already am and i already have.
  • 00:22:43.475 --> 00:22:46.745
  • If you understand that, you're on the bus, say "amen."
  • 00:22:46.745 --> 00:22:49.281
  • All right, number two.
  • 00:22:49.281 --> 00:22:50.615
  • "renewing your mind to grace" is number two.
  • 00:22:50.615 --> 00:22:53.251
  • Renewing your mind to grace, renewing your mind to grace.
  • 00:22:53.251 --> 00:22:57.722
  • Go to hebrews 13:9 in the king james and then in the mirror.
  • 00:22:57.722 --> 00:23:02.494
  • "renewing your mind to grace."
  • 00:23:02.494 --> 00:23:05.030
  • Now that's important if you're going to continue to walk in
  • 00:23:05.030 --> 00:23:08.133
  • Wholeness, if you're going to continue to walk in this
  • 00:23:08.133 --> 00:23:10.168
  • Prosperity, nothing missing, nothing broken, you've got to
  • 00:23:10.168 --> 00:23:13.605
  • Renew your mind to grace.
  • 00:23:13.605 --> 00:23:16.374
  • Renewing the mind is not a one-time event.
  • 00:23:16.374 --> 00:23:19.077
  • Renewing the mind is a lifetime process, okay?
  • 00:23:19.077 --> 00:23:23.448
  • Renewing the mind is exchanging your thoughts, your traditional
  • 00:23:23.448 --> 00:23:27.385
  • Way of thinking, your religion, your opinion, and lining up with
  • 00:23:27.385 --> 00:23:31.089
  • God's thoughts and god's opinion and what god has to say
  • 00:23:31.089 --> 00:23:34.860
  • About you.
  • 00:23:34.860 --> 00:23:36.228
  • Announcer: are you striving for success but still lacking?

  • Nothing missing and nothing broken in spirit, soul,
  • 00:23:51.343 --> 00:23:54.746
  • And body.

  • Creflo: grace-based prosperity is rooted in your identity
  • 00:23:56.114 --> 00:23:58.783
  • In christ.
  • 00:23:58.783 --> 00:24:00.151
  • My relationship with the god of grace has already given
  • 00:24:00.151 --> 00:24:04.155
  • Me wholeness through his son jesus christ.
  • 00:24:04.155 --> 00:24:06.424
  • He gave us everything he has for everything we didn't have.
  • 00:24:06.424 --> 00:24:10.428
  • I was unrighteous, he gave me righteousness.
  • 00:24:10.428 --> 00:24:13.064
  • I was in bondage, he gave me redemption.
  • 00:24:13.064 --> 00:24:15.200
  • I didn't have my material needs met, my god supplied my needs.
  • 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:19.137
