  • Creflo: this is the trick of the enemy this year.
  • 00:01:50.089 --> 00:01:54.694
  • The shame of your past, the guilt of your past, and the
  • 00:01:54.694 --> 00:02:00.266
  • Condemnation of your past will compete with your belief in your
  • 00:02:00.266 --> 00:02:06.940
  • Identity as the righteousness of god and will try to convince you
  • 00:02:06.940 --> 00:02:11.444
  • Not so.
  • 00:02:11.444 --> 00:02:14.314
  • "look at what you've done.
  • 00:02:14.314 --> 00:02:18.618
  • You can't say you the righteousness of god after
  • 00:02:18.618 --> 00:02:21.721
  • All that.
  • 00:02:21.721 --> 00:02:23.256
  • Don't let creflo and taffi and them send y'all to hell."
  • 00:02:23.256 --> 00:02:30.630
  • This is the enemy, gonna be whispering in your ear that you
  • 00:02:30.630 --> 00:02:36.936
  • Can't believe that.
  • 00:02:36.936 --> 00:02:39.138
  • How do you think--god says--see, here's--and here's what people
  • 00:02:39.138 --> 00:02:44.877
  • Will do.
  • 00:02:44.877 --> 00:02:47.080
  • To try to prove the grace message wrong, they will
  • 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.717
  • Take--they have to take a scripture out of its context and
  • 00:02:50.717 --> 00:02:55.888
  • Then fly it around, and you gotta be smarter than that.
  • 00:02:55.888 --> 00:02:59.592
  • You have got to be people who read the bible in context so
  • 00:02:59.592 --> 00:03:05.932
  • That when they take the context out--so, you see the
  • 00:03:05.932 --> 00:03:08.635
  • Word context.
  • 00:03:08.635 --> 00:03:09.969
  • If they take the--if you take the text out of the context,
  • 00:03:09.969 --> 00:03:13.006
  • You're left with what?
  • 00:03:13.006 --> 00:03:14.374
  • The con.
  • 00:03:14.374 --> 00:03:19.512
  • Don't do that.
  • 00:03:19.512 --> 00:03:27.186
  • I was in jail preaching--not when i was in jail, but when i
  • 00:03:27.186 --> 00:03:29.756
  • Was in jail preaching.
  • 00:03:29.756 --> 00:03:33.559
  • I was preaching when i was in jail, too, but when i actually
  • 00:03:33.559 --> 00:03:36.663
  • Went to jail to preach.
  • 00:03:36.663 --> 00:03:40.767
  • And that really got some of them, they like...
  • 00:03:40.767 --> 00:03:46.239
  • That's how i can preach what i'm preaching.
  • 00:03:50.143 --> 00:03:58.284
  • One of the guys in prison came up to me.
  • 00:03:58.284 --> 00:04:02.655
  • I was talking about how to not let your emotions take authority
  • 00:04:02.655 --> 00:04:06.492
  • Over your life.
  • 00:04:06.492 --> 00:04:08.895
  • He came up to me, he said--he comes to me like, "mm, preacher.
  • 00:04:08.895 --> 00:04:15.435
  • If i'd have known all that, i wouldn't be here now."
  • 00:04:15.435 --> 00:04:22.709
  • You know what i did?
  • 00:04:22.709 --> 00:04:24.043
  • I said, "man, i apologize.
  • 00:04:24.043 --> 00:04:26.346
  • I apologize.
  • 00:04:26.346 --> 00:04:27.714
  • We all got to do better at getting the news to you."
  • 00:04:27.714 --> 00:04:34.520
  • We gotta keep preaching, we gotta stop preaching
  • 00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:36.756
  • For validation.
  • 00:04:36.756 --> 00:04:41.594
  • Seriously, you think i'm preaching a sermon today so you
  • 00:04:41.594 --> 00:04:43.930
  • Can rate it?
  • 00:04:43.930 --> 00:04:46.099
  • I don't--you can rate it as stinking.
  • 00:04:46.099 --> 00:04:49.569
  • "stinking sermon and i ain't never come back here no more."
  • 00:04:49.569 --> 00:04:51.904
  • That between you and the lord.
  • 00:04:51.904 --> 00:04:55.575
  • This is the year where we gotta get this right.
  • 00:04:55.575 --> 00:05:01.047
  • You are the righteousness of god.
  • 00:05:01.047 --> 00:05:03.516
  • Say it, "i am--"
  • 00:05:03.516 --> 00:05:07.153
  • Say it again.
  • 00:05:07.153 --> 00:05:11.457
  • Is it by your doing?
  • 00:05:11.457 --> 00:05:14.827
  • Well, how are you made righteous?
  • 00:05:14.827 --> 00:05:19.065
  • Did you become righteous or were you made righteous?
  • 00:05:19.065 --> 00:05:22.635
  • Because if you became righteous, then you had to do a series of
  • 00:05:22.635 --> 00:05:25.605
  • Things to become it.
  • 00:05:25.605 --> 00:05:28.141
  • But he says you have been made right.
  • 00:05:28.141 --> 00:05:32.111
  • Wow.
  • 00:05:32.111 --> 00:05:38.117
  • So, christianity is not about doing right to become righteous,
  • 00:05:38.117 --> 00:05:43.322
  • It is all about believing right in jesus to become righteous.
  • 00:05:43.322 --> 00:05:48.394
  • Now, look at this in galatians 2:21.
  • 00:05:48.394 --> 00:05:53.065
  • Galatians 2:21.
  • 00:05:53.065 --> 00:05:56.536
  • I got up this morning, i looked at all my suit and coat and ties
  • 00:05:56.536 --> 00:06:00.373
  • And i'm like, "i ain't doing none of that today."
  • 00:06:00.373 --> 00:06:03.943
  • Ken and i did a leg workout on friday and i woke up and almost
  • 00:06:03.943 --> 00:06:07.613
  • Fell to my knees because my ankles were sore.
  • 00:06:07.613 --> 00:06:11.818
  • I was like, "lord."
  • 00:06:11.818 --> 00:06:14.053
  • Now watch this.
  • 00:06:14.053 --> 00:06:15.621
  • "i do not treat the grace of god as meaningless.
  • 00:06:15.621 --> 00:06:20.426
  • For if keeping the law could make us right with god, then
  • 00:06:20.426 --> 00:06:25.631
  • There was no need for jesus to die."
  • 00:06:25.631 --> 00:06:30.603
  • If keeping the law and under the law it's all about what you do,
  • 00:06:30.603 --> 00:06:36.776
  • If keeping the law, it's all about your works, the law is a
  • 00:06:36.776 --> 00:06:43.082
  • Work-based covenant.
  • 00:06:43.082 --> 00:06:46.285
  • "if keeping the law could make us right with god, then there
  • 00:06:46.285 --> 00:06:53.092
  • Was no need for christ to die."
  • 00:06:53.092 --> 00:06:58.364
  • Wow, you frustrate the grace of god by trying to become
  • 00:06:58.364 --> 00:07:05.037
  • Righteous in your own effort.
  • 00:07:05.037 --> 00:07:08.007
  • You frustrate the grace of god by trying to become righteous in
  • 00:07:08.007 --> 00:07:11.611
  • Your own effort, by getting a list of things to do.
  • 00:07:11.611 --> 00:07:15.281
  • You hadn't even talked to god about it.
  • 00:07:15.281 --> 00:07:17.750
  • Your relationship with him on the inside of you gives birth
  • 00:07:17.750 --> 00:07:21.787
  • And will change your heart and your desires to want to do what
  • 00:07:21.787 --> 00:07:26.259
  • Pleases god and you're ignoring all of that to become religious
  • 00:07:26.259 --> 00:07:32.732
  • And find something that you can do to try to make happen what
  • 00:07:32.732 --> 00:07:37.970
  • Jesus has already finished.
  • 00:07:37.970 --> 00:07:43.576
  • And look at romans chapter 11, verse 5 and 6 in the nlt.
  • 00:07:43.576 --> 00:07:48.080
  • Romans chapter 11, verses 5 and 6 in the nlt.
  • 00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:56.055
  • "it is the same today, for a few of the people of israel have
  • 00:07:56.055 --> 00:08:00.526
  • Remained faithful because of god's grace--his undeserved
  • 00:08:00.526 --> 00:08:06.165
  • Kindness in choosing them," his undeserved kindness in
  • 00:08:06.165 --> 00:08:11.938
  • Choosing them.
  • 00:08:11.938 --> 00:08:14.106
  • Hm.
  • 00:08:14.106 --> 00:08:15.474
  • And you know we were chosen before the foundation of the
  • 00:08:15.474 --> 00:08:16.943
  • World, right?
  • 00:08:16.943 --> 00:08:18.277
  • Verse 6, "and since it is through god's kindness, then it
  • 00:08:18.277 --> 00:08:23.583
  • Is not by their works."
  • 00:08:23.583 --> 00:08:26.886
  • "since it is through god's kindness, it is not by their
  • 00:08:26.886 --> 00:08:29.889
  • Good works.
  • 00:08:29.889 --> 00:08:32.024
  • For in that case, god's grace would not be what it really
  • 00:08:32.024 --> 00:08:35.828
  • Is--free and undeserved."
  • 00:08:35.828 --> 00:08:41.834
  • His grace is about being free and undeserved.
  • 00:08:41.834 --> 00:08:46.339
  • Oh my goodness.
  • 00:08:46.339 --> 00:08:49.075
  • So, the grace of god answers you in your most
  • 00:08:49.075 --> 00:08:54.013
  • Undeserving moments.
  • 00:08:54.013 --> 00:08:58.551
  • Hm.
  • 00:08:58.551 --> 00:08:59.919
  • The grace of god answers you in your most undeserving moments.
  • 00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:08.794
  • That felt weird when i first walked in that, that felt weird.
  • 00:09:08.794 --> 00:09:14.667
  • When i had said something that i knew was hurtful and i didn't
  • 00:09:14.667 --> 00:09:19.171
  • Say it out of love and the grace of god was there,
  • 00:09:19.171 --> 00:09:23.009
  • "what are you doing here?
  • 00:09:23.009 --> 00:09:25.144
  • Condemnation be here--should be here.
  • 00:09:25.144 --> 00:09:27.013
  • Shame should be here. guilt should be here."
  • 00:09:27.013 --> 00:09:29.815
  • But in your most undeserving moments, the grace of god
  • 00:09:29.815 --> 00:09:35.788
  • Is there.
  • 00:09:35.788 --> 00:09:44.730
  • I used to say to people when we had, you know, healing
  • 00:09:44.730 --> 00:09:50.736
  • Services--we used to have healing services all over
  • 00:09:50.736 --> 00:09:53.806
  • The world.
  • 00:09:53.806 --> 00:09:55.174
  • I think it was on saturday mornings when we did meetings.
  • 00:09:55.174 --> 00:09:58.811
  • The whole morning was dedicated to healing and we would just
  • 00:09:58.811 --> 00:10:02.782
  • Sing and praise god until we felt the anointing and the glory
  • 00:10:02.782 --> 00:10:06.585
  • Hit the room.
  • 00:10:06.585 --> 00:10:08.754
  • And, i mean, everywhere.
  • 00:10:08.754 --> 00:10:14.293
  • And i knew--sometimes i didn't think i prayed enough.
  • 00:10:14.293 --> 00:10:19.532
  • I was just going through all kinds of tormenting things.
  • 00:10:19.532 --> 00:10:23.002
  • "was i gonna be anointed enough today?"
  • 00:10:23.002 --> 00:10:25.705
  • And these people are coming in wheelchairs and all that kind of
  • 00:10:25.705 --> 00:10:28.474
  • Stuff and we never did advertise it because we didn't want people
  • 00:10:28.474 --> 00:10:32.778
  • To think we were using--and i don't know if anything wrong
  • 00:10:32.778 --> 00:10:35.881
  • With it, but it would have been for me.
  • 00:10:35.881 --> 00:10:37.216
  • That's not what--but we didn't advertise it.
  • 00:10:37.216 --> 00:10:40.553
  • We just didn't, you know, and i'll just kind of keep it to
  • 00:10:40.553 --> 00:10:43.289
  • Myself why we didn't, and i just dealt with so much.
  • 00:10:43.289 --> 00:10:48.327
  • Oh my god, am i anointed enough today?
  • 00:10:48.327 --> 00:10:52.298
  • And jesus kept saying, "yeah, you were anointed when i
  • 00:10:52.298 --> 00:10:55.568
  • Called you."
  • 00:10:55.568 --> 00:10:56.936
  • "yeah, but lord, why didn't that--why didn't that lady get
  • 00:10:56.936 --> 00:10:59.872
  • Out of the chair?"
  • 00:10:59.872 --> 00:11:01.240
  • And he would say, "yeah, but three other people got out of
  • 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.842
  • Their chairs."
  • 00:11:02.842 --> 00:11:04.610
  • And it was just back and forth because i just didn't understand
  • 00:11:04.610 --> 00:11:10.049
  • When paul said, "when i'm weak, that's when i'm strong."
  • 00:11:10.049 --> 00:11:13.319
  • And this scripture is saying here that the grace of god shows
  • 00:11:13.319 --> 00:11:15.821
  • Up even when you in your most undeserving moments.
  • 00:11:15.821 --> 00:11:21.393
  • And so, i used to say to people, "if you don't have faith, don't
  • 00:11:21.393 --> 00:11:25.164
  • Come down to get prayer because you gotta have faith," and i
  • 00:11:25.164 --> 00:11:28.067
  • Would go ahead and justify it.
  • 00:11:28.067 --> 00:11:30.269
  • And what i didn't understand is that even when somebody didn't
  • 00:11:30.269 --> 00:11:34.807
  • Have faith, the grace of god will be there.
  • 00:11:34.807 --> 00:11:37.543
  • By the time they get there, they'll have enough.
  • 00:11:37.543 --> 00:11:40.045
  • The grace of god will supply whatever they need.
  • 00:11:40.045 --> 00:11:42.715
  • I mean, it--i shouldn't be disqualifying them.
  • 00:11:42.715 --> 00:11:46.185
  • "only those of you who have faith come down to be healed."
  • 00:11:46.185 --> 00:11:52.792
  • And then finally, i had some folks come down.
  • 00:11:56.762 --> 00:11:58.531
  • I remember this one guy came down, he said--he said, "pastor,
  • 00:11:58.531 --> 00:12:05.337
  • I'm drunk, and i don't know about nothing you say, but if
  • 00:12:05.337 --> 00:12:14.313
  • This real," he-- "lay it on me."
  • 00:12:14.313 --> 00:12:23.656
  • I decided that day not to touch him.
  • 00:12:23.656 --> 00:12:27.059
  • I said, "lift your hands up," and i began to pray and the
  • 00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:30.663
  • Power of god hit that man, he fell out under the power of god.
  • 00:12:30.663 --> 00:12:34.867
  • He stayed out for a minute and when he came to, or whatever
  • 00:12:34.867 --> 00:12:38.671
  • Happened, he jumped up like, "what you do?
  • 00:12:38.671 --> 00:12:41.207
  • What you do?"
  • 00:12:41.207 --> 00:12:42.641
  • "i didn't do nothing.
  • 00:12:42.641 --> 00:12:43.976
  • I didn't even touch you.
  • 00:12:43.976 --> 00:12:45.477
  • The power of god touched you."
  • 00:12:45.477 --> 00:12:47.346
  • I said, "what's going on?"
  • 00:12:47.346 --> 00:12:48.747
  • He said, "i don't hurt no more."
  • 00:12:48.747 --> 00:12:50.883
  • I found out several years later that that man is now in the
  • 00:12:50.883 --> 00:12:55.154
  • Ministry, preaching the gospel of jesus christ.
  • 00:12:55.154 --> 00:13:00.292
  • So don't tell me what you've got to have because whatever you
  • 00:13:00.292 --> 00:13:03.629
  • Don't have, the grace of god will meet you in your
  • 00:13:03.629 --> 00:13:08.133
  • Undeserving moments.
  • 00:13:08.133 --> 00:13:15.107
  • Jesus's righteousness is your right to god's unmerited favor.
  • 00:13:19.311 --> 00:13:25.584
  • His righteousness is my right to his unmerited favor.
  • 00:13:25.584 --> 00:13:30.723
  • I have been given the gift of no imputation of sin.
  • 00:13:30.723 --> 00:13:36.862
  • Now watch this.
  • 00:13:36.862 --> 00:13:39.131
  • One more scripture after this, 1 corinthians 15:34 in
  • 00:13:39.131 --> 00:13:43.135
  • The message.
  • 00:13:43.135 --> 00:13:45.070
  • 1 corinthians 15:34 in the message.
  • 00:13:45.070 --> 00:13:52.311
  • You're gonna have to, this year, make receiving the
  • 00:13:52.311 --> 00:13:54.780
  • Word priority.
  • 00:13:54.780 --> 00:13:57.683
  • You can't be coming to church, "i'll go if i'm out in an hour."
  • 00:13:57.683 --> 00:14:02.421
  • You can't put a time clock on god, seriously.
  • 00:14:02.421 --> 00:14:07.726
  • You think me preaching 50 minutes to an hour is long?
  • 00:14:07.726 --> 00:14:12.865
  • I used to preach, what, y'all?
  • 00:14:12.865 --> 00:14:14.366
  • Two hours, and i used to preach until i had it all out.
  • 00:14:14.366 --> 00:14:18.938
  • During that night over there, i preached about three hours and a
  • 00:14:18.938 --> 00:14:22.041
  • Half on the inner image of the covenant.
  • 00:14:22.041 --> 00:14:26.578
  • I thought that thing would never--i was--i look at the
  • 00:14:26.578 --> 00:14:30.149
  • Meetings that i went to preach for other people and i'm there
  • 00:14:30.149 --> 00:14:32.985
  • Two and a half hours, i'm embarrassed.
  • 00:14:32.985 --> 00:14:35.854
  • I was like, "what was i doing?"
  • 00:14:35.854 --> 00:14:38.691
  • God said, "well, i was saying some stuff, but all that other
  • 00:14:38.691 --> 00:14:42.061
  • Stuff, that was all you."
  • 00:14:42.061 --> 00:14:48.767
  • I said, "thank you very much, jesus.
  • 00:14:48.767 --> 00:14:51.403
  • Appreciate that."
  • 00:14:51.403 --> 00:14:52.771
  • Now watch this.
  • 00:14:52.771 --> 00:14:54.106
  • "think straight," think straight?
  • 00:14:54.106 --> 00:15:00.045
  • "awaken to the holiness of life.
  • 00:15:00.045 --> 00:15:05.584
  • No more playing fast and loose with resurrection facts.
  • 00:15:05.584 --> 00:15:12.324
  • Ignorance is a--ignorance of god is a luxury you can't afford in
  • 00:15:12.324 --> 00:15:18.864
  • Times like these," wow.
  • 00:15:18.864 --> 00:15:23.335
  • Now watch this.
  • 00:15:25.771 --> 00:15:27.873
  • "aren't you embarrassed that you've let this kind of thing go
  • 00:15:27.873 --> 00:15:32.978
  • On as long as you have?"
  • 00:15:32.978 --> 00:15:36.882
  • Lord have mercy.
  • 00:15:36.882 --> 00:15:39.084
  • Think straight, not thinking religious, think straight.
  • 00:15:39.084 --> 00:15:46.425
  • This is not the time to be ignorant of the word of god and
  • 00:15:46.425 --> 00:15:53.165
  • Play a bunch of fables with the bible.
  • 00:15:53.165 --> 00:15:56.702
  • This is not time to be playing church games and church gossip
  • 00:15:56.702 --> 00:16:03.442
  • And--it ain't the time.
  • 00:16:03.442 --> 00:16:07.312
  • "well, i'm still experiencing church hurt."
  • 00:16:07.312 --> 00:16:10.149
  • Well, get over yourself.
  • 00:16:10.149 --> 00:16:11.483
  • Let god heal you and go forward.
  • 00:16:11.483 --> 00:16:15.320
  • You ain't the only one been hurt.
  • 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:16.655
  • Everybody here been hurt by somebody.
  • 00:16:16.655 --> 00:16:21.293
  • Keep it moving. keep it moving.
  • 00:16:21.293 --> 00:16:25.964
  • "well, i can't.
  • 00:16:25.964 --> 00:16:27.299
  • You don't understand, it's hard."
  • 00:16:27.299 --> 00:16:28.634
  • Just because it's hard is no excuse to remain the same.
  • 00:16:28.634 --> 00:16:34.173
  • Keep it moving.
  • 00:16:34.173 --> 00:16:36.341
  • "yeah, my husband hurt me.
  • 00:16:36.341 --> 00:16:37.843
  • Yeah, my wife cheated on me.
  • 00:16:37.843 --> 00:16:39.378
  • Yeah, they stole this."
  • 00:16:39.378 --> 00:16:40.746
  • Keep it moving.
  • 00:16:40.746 --> 00:16:42.081
  • Can't do nothing about it now.
  • 00:16:42.081 --> 00:16:43.415
  • Keep it moving.
  • 00:16:43.415 --> 00:16:46.085
  • "yeah, but they supposed to be saved.
  • 00:16:46.085 --> 00:16:47.786
  • Are y'all telling me i can't take them to court?"
  • 00:16:47.786 --> 00:16:49.254
  • You do whatever you wanna do.
  • 00:16:49.254 --> 00:16:50.689
  • I'm not gonna do that because i know that if i do the right
  • 00:16:50.689 --> 00:16:53.892
  • Thing and sow the do good seed, god gonna take care of me.
  • 00:16:53.892 --> 00:16:57.796
  • Sometimes we want to take care of things on our own and we get
  • 00:16:57.796 --> 00:17:00.999
  • In god's way on how he can do what you need to do, but yeah,
  • 00:17:00.999 --> 00:17:03.769
  • Don't make no more excuses.
  • 00:17:03.769 --> 00:17:05.404
  • Keep it moving.
  • 00:17:05.404 --> 00:17:07.573
  • Because if you keep it moving, you gonna bump into a harvest
  • 00:17:07.573 --> 00:17:10.876
  • And you're gonna bump into god and you're gonna bump in his
  • 00:17:10.876 --> 00:17:13.445
  • Mercy, you're gonna bump into his grace.
  • 00:17:13.445 --> 00:17:19.151
  • Somebody shout, "keep it moving."
  • 00:17:19.151 --> 00:17:23.021
  • "well, my daddy left me and he never didn't want to be in
  • 00:17:23.021 --> 00:17:25.290
  • My life."
  • 00:17:25.290 --> 00:17:26.625
  • Keep it moving.
  • 00:17:26.625 --> 00:17:36.034
  • "yeah, yeah, but you don't understand."
  • 00:17:36.034 --> 00:17:38.137
  • Get your buts out the way and keep it moving.
  • 00:17:38.137 --> 00:17:43.108
  • "well, i think you kind of insensitive."
  • 00:17:43.108 --> 00:17:44.843
  • Okay, keep it moving.
  • 00:17:44.843 --> 00:17:52.017
  • You ain't gonna do nothing by just standing there and yielding
  • 00:17:52.017 --> 00:17:54.887
  • To self-pity.
  • 00:17:54.887 --> 00:17:57.523
  • I know that's gonna be a spirit this year.
  • 00:17:57.523 --> 00:17:59.691
  • I prayed this morning, "lord, keep me out of self-pity."
  • 00:17:59.691 --> 00:18:02.794
  • I prayed for this whole church this morning, i thanked god.
  • 00:18:02.794 --> 00:18:05.430
  • I said, "father, i thank you in the name of jesus the kingdom
  • 00:18:05.430 --> 00:18:08.033
  • Has come and because your kingdom has come, everybody in
  • 00:18:08.033 --> 00:18:10.903
  • World changers, they have righteousness,
  • 00:18:10.903 --> 00:18:12.271
  • Peace, joy in the holy ghost.
  • 00:18:12.271 --> 00:18:13.605
  • I bind the spirit of compromise and deception and unrepentance,"
  • 00:18:13.605 --> 00:18:17.176
  • And i--and added this on, "and i bind the spirit of self-pity in
  • 00:18:17.176 --> 00:18:21.580
  • The name of the lord jesus christ."
  • 00:18:21.580 --> 00:18:23.515
  • So, i'm telling you right now, come hell or high water, if it
  • 00:18:23.515 --> 00:18:26.652
  • Works out your way or don't work out your way, if you get the
  • 00:18:26.652 --> 00:18:29.188
  • Promotion or don't get the promotion, if somebody slandered
  • 00:18:29.188 --> 00:18:32.090
  • You or dogged you out, keep it moving.
  • 00:18:32.090 --> 00:18:40.265
  • Because in my undeserving moments, grace will meet me when
  • 00:18:40.265 --> 00:18:46.371
  • I don't deserve it, when i can't figure it out.
  • 00:18:46.371 --> 00:18:49.007
  • I'm gonna keep it moving.
  • 00:18:49.007 --> 00:18:56.949
  • Then hebrews 13.
  • 00:18:56.949 --> 00:19:02.454
  • "be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines,"
  • 00:19:02.454 --> 00:19:10.963
  • Or teachings, "for it is a good thing that the heart be
  • 00:19:10.963 --> 00:19:17.202
  • Established with grace."
  • 00:19:17.202 --> 00:19:21.206
  • Now, they were dealing with rules about eating meat.
  • 00:19:21.206 --> 00:19:24.376
  • So, in context, he says, "not with meats, which have not
  • 00:19:24.376 --> 00:19:28.580
  • Profited them that have been occupied therein."
  • 00:19:28.580 --> 00:19:33.452
  • So, they thought the rules of meat needed to be exalted above
  • 00:19:33.452 --> 00:19:36.622
  • Everything else, and he says, "your heart needs to be
  • 00:19:36.622 --> 00:19:38.290
  • Established in grace."
  • 00:19:38.290 --> 00:19:40.058
  • Now, look at what he says in the nlt and we'll shut it down for
  • 00:19:40.058 --> 00:19:44.062
  • The day.
  • 00:19:44.062 --> 00:19:47.065
  • "so do not be attracted by strange, new ideas," or
  • 00:19:47.065 --> 00:19:52.471
  • Doctrines, doctrines and new ideas and teachings that don't
  • 00:19:52.471 --> 00:19:59.711
  • Even line up with the word, they just sound good.
  • 00:19:59.711 --> 00:20:03.382
  • They're not even sound, scripturally.
  • 00:20:03.382 --> 00:20:10.422
  • "your strength comes from god's grace, not from rules about
  • 00:20:10.422 --> 00:20:14.126
  • Food, which don't help those who follow them."
  • 00:20:14.126 --> 00:20:19.831
  • And the same is true with everything else.
  • 00:20:19.831 --> 00:20:22.134
  • Your strength comes from god's grace, not from rules about
  • 00:20:22.134 --> 00:20:25.737
  • Life, not from rules about food, not from rules.
  • 00:20:25.737 --> 00:20:29.041
  • It comes from god's grace.
  • 00:20:29.041 --> 00:20:32.744
  • And when we can open ourselves up to the grace of god and the
  • 00:20:32.744 --> 00:20:37.149
  • Love of god, you can--you have a whole new way of living.
  • 00:20:37.149 --> 00:20:42.988
  • You'll sense god in you, working, giving you a desire to
  • 00:20:42.988 --> 00:20:48.226
  • Do what pleases god.
  • 00:20:48.226 --> 00:20:52.764
  • And all the time you realize, i've been trying to get this to
  • 00:20:52.764 --> 00:20:56.735
  • Happen all my life and god showed up and he made
  • 00:20:56.735 --> 00:21:02.474
  • The difference.
  • 00:21:02.474 --> 00:21:06.712
  • Let's pray.
  • 00:21:06.712 --> 00:21:09.181
  • Father, we--we've done what we--what i believe you wanted to
  • 00:21:09.181 --> 00:21:17.389
  • Do and say today and i pray that it has penetrated their souls.
  • 00:21:17.389 --> 00:21:24.229
  • That as i was preaching, you were speaking something
  • 00:21:24.229 --> 00:21:26.898
  • Specifically to everyone.
  • 00:21:26.898 --> 00:21:32.037
  • And i pray that you will propel many into the path of the will
  • 00:21:32.037 --> 00:21:39.077
  • Of god for their life.
  • 00:21:39.077 --> 00:21:43.215
  • I believe you called the end at the very beginning, and you've
  • 00:21:43.215 --> 00:21:47.586
  • Called everyone here to an assignment.
  • 00:21:47.586 --> 00:21:49.788
  • Everyone here, there's a plan and a purpose for their life,
  • 00:21:49.788 --> 00:21:53.392
  • And i pray that that be revealed to them, but we are awesomely
  • 00:21:53.392 --> 00:22:00.432
  • Gracious for this gift of grace and your mercy and the richness
  • 00:22:00.432 --> 00:22:06.838
  • Of your mercy.
  • 00:22:06.838 --> 00:22:09.474
  • But without it, we wouldn't have a chance.
  • 00:22:09.474 --> 00:22:14.780
  • Thank you, lord.
  • 00:22:14.780 --> 00:22:17.582
  • Thank you so much.
  • 00:22:17.582 --> 00:22:21.787
  • Come hell or high waters, may we stay attached to you throughout
  • 00:22:21.787 --> 00:22:26.658
  • This year.
  • 00:22:26.658 --> 00:22:27.993
  • Keep us, lord.
  • 00:22:27.993 --> 00:22:30.695
  • Don't allow the strange things of this society to snatch us and
  • 00:22:30.695 --> 00:22:36.401
  • To cause our love to wax cold and to cause us to not even care
  • 00:22:36.401 --> 00:22:41.339
  • About you and your kingdom.
  • 00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:45.010
  • Bathe us in your love, your grace, your mercy, your peace,
  • 00:22:45.010 --> 00:22:52.317
  • And may we live this year in ease, worshiping you for
  • 00:22:52.317 --> 00:23:00.659
  • Your goodness.
  • 00:23:00.659 --> 00:23:03.762
  • Now that the healing power of god that heals emotions, that
  • 00:23:03.762 --> 00:23:08.233
  • Heals souls, that heals brokenness be released upon this
  • 00:23:08.233 --> 00:23:16.041
