  • Creflo: but religious based christianity wants to tell you:
  • 00:01:49.578 --> 00:01:58.253
  • You ain't right because you ain't keeping all the rules.
  • 00:01:58.253 --> 00:02:02.257
  • And i'm telling you, i did a great effort at trying to keep
  • 00:02:02.257 --> 00:02:06.395
  • All the rules.
  • 00:02:06.395 --> 00:02:07.729
  • I wrote the--all the confessions down.
  • 00:02:07.729 --> 00:02:09.231
  • So, i have five pages of confessions and i'm thinking,
  • 00:02:09.231 --> 00:02:11.066
  • Man, i ain't gonna never get out of here with all
  • 00:02:11.066 --> 00:02:12.534
  • These confessions.
  • 00:02:12.534 --> 00:02:15.537
  • Because i thought i had to make all the confessions.
  • 00:02:15.537 --> 00:02:20.309
  • I thought i had to pray for two hours or i wouldn't be anointed.
  • 00:02:20.309 --> 00:02:26.048
  • And i was scared as a preacher if i don't pray two hours, if i
  • 00:02:26.048 --> 00:02:29.585
  • Don't make all these confessions, if i don't fast all
  • 00:02:29.585 --> 00:02:33.956
  • The time, if i really want to be anointed, i'm gonna fast at
  • 00:02:33.956 --> 00:02:37.659
  • Least twice a week.
  • 00:02:37.659 --> 00:02:39.995
  • I was doing a meeting in minnesota and i had fasted all
  • 00:02:39.995 --> 00:02:44.566
  • Day long.
  • 00:02:44.566 --> 00:02:45.901
  • I got out there and i started seeing double people.
  • 00:02:45.901 --> 00:02:47.302
  • I was dizzy.
  • 00:02:47.302 --> 00:02:50.172
  • Somebody said that was the devil.
  • 00:02:50.172 --> 00:02:51.506
  • No, i was just hungry.
  • 00:02:51.506 --> 00:02:55.110
  • And the lord said, "why do you keep doing that?"
  • 00:02:55.110 --> 00:02:57.646
  • I said, "i'm doing that so i could be anointed."
  • 00:02:57.646 --> 00:02:59.381
  • He said, "when i called you, i equipped you.
  • 00:02:59.381 --> 00:03:01.817
  • When i called you, i anointed you and you are trying to do
  • 00:03:01.817 --> 00:03:06.221
  • What i have already done.
  • 00:03:06.221 --> 00:03:08.090
  • You're treating me like i'm not enough.
  • 00:03:08.090 --> 00:03:10.659
  • You don't believe that i'm enough.
  • 00:03:10.659 --> 00:03:12.394
  • You don't believe i'm enough for your salvation.
  • 00:03:12.394 --> 00:03:14.363
  • You don't believe i'm enough for your healing.
  • 00:03:14.363 --> 00:03:15.864
  • You don't believe i'm enough for your revelation.
  • 00:03:15.864 --> 00:03:17.466
  • You don't believe i'm enough and now you think you got to
  • 00:03:17.466 --> 00:03:20.235
  • Outperform me.
  • 00:03:20.235 --> 00:03:22.638
  • You trying to be like me without me."
  • 00:03:22.638 --> 00:03:31.213
  • And we come to church.
  • 00:03:31.213 --> 00:03:32.581
  • This is the way we come to church.
  • 00:03:32.581 --> 00:03:37.386
  • Look at what she got on, look at what she got on.
  • 00:03:37.386 --> 00:03:39.154
  • That's none of your business.
  • 00:03:39.154 --> 00:03:41.790
  • That's none of your business.
  • 00:03:41.790 --> 00:03:43.125
  • You're saying that as if--like you got a hand up over those
  • 00:03:43.125 --> 00:03:47.162
  • People who are not performing according to the law.
  • 00:03:47.162 --> 00:03:50.832
  • Maybe that's all they got.
  • 00:03:50.832 --> 00:03:53.035
  • Maybe they ain't got no long dresses.
  • 00:03:53.035 --> 00:03:54.636
  • Maybe god just delivered them off the strip joint pole and
  • 00:03:54.636 --> 00:03:58.340
  • Brought them to church the next day.
  • 00:03:58.340 --> 00:03:59.708
  • Maybe they didn't have time to go get no dresses, but i'm not
  • 00:03:59.708 --> 00:04:02.244
  • Gonna condemn them to hell because they don't dress like i
  • 00:04:02.244 --> 00:04:05.914
  • Want them--they'll be all right.
  • 00:04:05.914 --> 00:04:07.249
  • The holy ghost is gonna be working--under the new covenant,
  • 00:04:07.249 --> 00:04:10.018
  • We have the administrator of the holy ghost and through this
  • 00:04:10.018 --> 00:04:12.788
  • Covenant of grace, he's gonna show us and perfect us and he's
  • 00:04:12.788 --> 00:04:16.325
  • Gonna give us the desire to do stuff that we don't even know
  • 00:04:16.325 --> 00:04:19.361
  • Why we want to do it because the holy ghost is--the holy ghost
  • 00:04:19.361 --> 00:04:22.798
  • Hadn't been given so we can shake, rattle, and roll.
  • 00:04:22.798 --> 00:04:25.133
  • He hadn't been giving us so we can do cartwheels and he hadn't
  • 00:04:25.133 --> 00:04:27.703
  • Been giving us so we can drink, [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:04:27.703 --> 00:04:29.504
  • That ain't what the holy ghost has been giving us.
  • 00:04:29.504 --> 00:04:31.373
  • He's been--he gave us the holy ghost so the holy ghost can lead
  • 00:04:31.373 --> 00:04:34.476
  • And guide our lives and say, "hey, go here.
  • 00:04:34.476 --> 00:04:37.379
  • Hey, you might not want to do that.
  • 00:04:37.379 --> 00:04:38.747
  • Try doing this instead of this.
  • 00:04:38.747 --> 00:04:40.682
  • You know, i know you messed up last night, but i love you.
  • 00:04:40.682 --> 00:04:42.918
  • Anyway, get on up we got some work to do."
  • 00:04:42.918 --> 00:04:44.720
  • Because part of learning how to walk is falling.
  • 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.623
  • Part of falling is--you're following what i'm saying?
  • 00:04:48.623 --> 00:04:57.566
  • Falling is a part of learning how to walk.
  • 00:04:57.566 --> 00:05:01.336
  • Walking is a part of learning how to run.
  • 00:05:01.336 --> 00:05:07.809
  • But religion doesn't give you the opportunity for any of that.
  • 00:05:07.809 --> 00:05:15.217
  • Just got saved.
  • 00:05:15.217 --> 00:05:17.619
  • I mean, when i just got saved, i was still cussing.
  • 00:05:17.619 --> 00:05:20.455
  • I mean, you know?
  • 00:05:20.455 --> 00:05:22.557
  • I mean, i was cussing instead of saying praise the lord.
  • 00:05:22.557 --> 00:05:24.593
  • I'm like--you are laughing because i'm talking about you.
  • 00:05:24.593 --> 00:05:43.245
  • Because there'll be a day for everybody in here.
  • 00:05:47.282 --> 00:05:50.452
  • The greatest day of your life is when you sit down one day and
  • 00:05:50.452 --> 00:05:54.089
  • Say, "i don't know how to do this.
  • 00:05:54.089 --> 00:05:59.327
  • I keep missing it.
  • 00:05:59.327 --> 00:06:01.696
  • I keep missing it.
  • 00:06:01.763 --> 00:06:04.366
  • I'm sad.
  • 00:06:04.366 --> 00:06:06.034
  • I'm depressed.
  • 00:06:06.034 --> 00:06:07.736
  • I'm tired of going to church acting.
  • 00:06:07.736 --> 00:06:11.473
  • I've perfected phonying it so much, people think that i'm just
  • 00:06:11.473 --> 00:06:14.643
  • Flawless and i'm just awful."
  • 00:06:14.643 --> 00:06:18.046
  • And don't nobody know you like god and you know you.
  • 00:06:18.046 --> 00:06:23.952
  • And you--and then what makes it worse is he comes and does
  • 00:06:23.952 --> 00:06:26.121
  • Something good for you after you have did something crazy.
  • 00:06:26.121 --> 00:06:29.458
  • He trying to show you, "i can do this better than you can.
  • 00:06:29.458 --> 00:06:35.997
  • But i need you to change your mind about what you believed and
  • 00:06:35.997 --> 00:06:44.339
  • Believe the gospel."
  • 00:06:44.339 --> 00:06:46.675
  • Look at romans chapter 10 in verse 4.
  • 00:06:46.675 --> 00:06:51.513
  • So the law was given to make you guilty.
  • 00:06:51.513 --> 00:06:54.549
  • The law was given to get you to perform and then come back and
  • 00:06:54.549 --> 00:06:57.352
  • Say, "it ain't right."
  • 00:06:57.352 --> 00:07:00.522
  • The law was given to push you towards a need for a savior.
  • 00:07:00.522 --> 00:07:07.596
  • It wasn't given so you can try to keep it.
  • 00:07:07.596 --> 00:07:12.033
  • Nobody has been successful in keeping the law except one
  • 00:07:12.033 --> 00:07:18.039
  • Man: jesus.
  • 00:07:18.039 --> 00:07:21.543
  • Jesus kept the law perfectly.
  • 00:07:21.543 --> 00:07:25.280
  • No man has ever been able to do it.
  • 00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:28.450
  • I had some friends of mine one time.
  • 00:07:28.450 --> 00:07:29.818
  • They say, "well, i tell you what?
  • 00:07:29.818 --> 00:07:31.152
  • We're supposed to be under the law and i'm gonna go and keep
  • 00:07:31.152 --> 00:07:32.888
  • The law."
  • 00:07:32.888 --> 00:07:34.222
  • I didn't fuss with them. i said, "go on."
  • 00:07:34.222 --> 00:07:39.528
  • Man, them jokers was miserable by the end of the week.
  • 00:07:39.528 --> 00:07:41.296
  • Like, something's wrong.
  • 00:07:41.296 --> 00:07:42.664
  • You can't keep it, that's why.
  • 00:07:42.664 --> 00:07:45.500
  • He said, "for christ is the end of the law for righteousness to
  • 00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:51.873
  • Everyone that believeth."
  • 00:07:51.873 --> 00:07:56.311
  • Change your mind about living by the performance based law.
  • 00:07:56.311 --> 00:08:01.116
  • Here's the thing that gets me.
  • 00:08:01.116 --> 00:08:03.118
  • The law was extended only to jewish people.
  • 00:08:03.118 --> 00:08:10.592
  • Now, here's what's amazing.
  • 00:08:10.592 --> 00:08:12.193
  • How in the world did we get tangled up into something that
  • 00:08:12.193 --> 00:08:19.434
  • Wasn't even yours in the first place?
  • 00:08:19.434 --> 00:08:27.142
  • And then we use it to condemn people.
  • 00:08:27.142 --> 00:08:29.678
  • I'm doing a study right now on--every wicked war, slavery,
  • 00:08:29.678 --> 00:08:38.353
  • Spanish inquisition throughout history started with a
  • 00:08:38.353 --> 00:08:43.658
  • Misinterpretation of the scripture.
  • 00:08:43.658 --> 00:08:49.497
  • Hitler--all that started with a misinterpretation of the
  • 00:08:49.497 --> 00:08:51.900
  • Scripture and you don't think this is important?
  • 00:08:51.900 --> 00:08:53.935
  • Because somebody went in the old testament and got something
  • 00:08:53.935 --> 00:08:56.438
  • About the old testament and said, "do this."
  • 00:08:56.438 --> 00:09:01.142
  • And then all of a sudden you charging the capital.
  • 00:09:01.142 --> 00:09:05.413
  • That came from scripture.
  • 00:09:05.413 --> 00:09:07.749
  • You don't know that that was somebody's preaching.
  • 00:09:07.749 --> 00:09:15.423
  • Taking old testament scripture out of context and using it to
  • 00:09:15.423 --> 00:09:23.565
  • Prove what?
  • 00:09:23.565 --> 00:09:24.899
  • Satan--[speaking in tongues]
  • 00:09:24.899 --> 00:09:27.002
  • The 1 corinthians 15--15 and 56.
  • 00:09:27.002 --> 00:09:33.274
  • Watch this, 1 corinthians 15 and 56.
  • 00:09:33.274 --> 00:09:37.846
  • "the sting of death is sin; the strength of sin is the law."
  • 00:09:37.846 --> 00:09:47.989
  • What strengthens sin?
  • 00:09:48.056 --> 00:09:51.393
  • The law.
  • 00:09:51.393 --> 00:09:54.229
  • So, what do you think happen if you decide to live by the law
  • 00:09:54.229 --> 00:09:56.865
  • And ignore the gospel of grace?
  • 00:09:56.865 --> 00:10:00.068
  • You just strengthening sin.
  • 00:10:00.068 --> 00:10:04.339
  • I know i cannot do this without jesus and the things that have
  • 00:10:04.339 --> 00:10:09.344
  • Gotten better in my life, they got better because i trusted god
  • 00:10:09.344 --> 00:10:14.249
  • And that he didn't beat me up when i fell down.
  • 00:10:14.249 --> 00:10:16.918
  • He just said, "get on up, baby.
  • 00:10:16.918 --> 00:10:18.286
  • It'll be all right.
  • 00:10:18.286 --> 00:10:19.621
  • Come on.
  • 00:10:19.621 --> 00:10:20.989
  • Come on, you just learning how to walk, come on."
  • 00:10:20.989 --> 00:10:22.323
  • But some christian people as soon as you fall down, "sit
  • 00:10:22.323 --> 00:10:24.025
  • Down, you need to pray some more."
  • 00:10:24.025 --> 00:10:27.195
  • Mm-mm.
  • 00:10:27.195 --> 00:10:28.530
  • No, let me help you up.
  • 00:10:28.530 --> 00:10:29.864
  • That's what jesus did.
  • 00:10:29.864 --> 00:10:31.332
  • That's what jesus did.
  • 00:10:31.332 --> 00:10:32.667
  • Peter fell and started sinking in the water because he started
  • 00:10:32.667 --> 00:10:34.736
  • Looking at his circumstances and he began to doubt and when he
  • 00:10:34.736 --> 00:10:37.439
  • Began to sink, jesus reached out and said, "come on, i'll walk
  • 00:10:37.439 --> 00:10:40.542
  • Back to the boat on the water with you."
  • 00:10:40.542 --> 00:10:47.482
  • For you to be critical of somebody else or where they're
  • 00:10:47.482 --> 00:10:50.552
  • Living, somehow you got to be deceived about the issues in
  • 00:10:50.552 --> 00:10:54.022
  • Your own life.
  • 00:10:54.022 --> 00:10:58.159
  • Really, we know, it's just so you got time to be talking
  • 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:03.865
  • About how bad somebody else's issue is?
  • 00:11:03.865 --> 00:11:06.701
  • And you got all these issues and secrets and they killing you
  • 00:11:06.701 --> 00:11:16.411
  • Because you still trying to do it through your performance and
  • 00:11:16.411 --> 00:11:21.249
  • Your self effort because you don't believe that jesus
  • 00:11:21.249 --> 00:11:25.286
  • Is enough.
  • 00:11:25.286 --> 00:11:29.624
  • I put it all on the line, guys.
  • 00:11:29.624 --> 00:11:32.527
  • I had to talk with my wife.
  • 00:11:32.527 --> 00:11:33.862
  • I said, "i'm going for it."
  • 00:11:33.862 --> 00:11:35.363
  • She said she going for it and if the church closed down, at least
  • 00:11:35.363 --> 00:11:39.534
  • We'll be able to stand in front of jesus saying we did what you
  • 00:11:39.534 --> 00:11:43.204
  • Told us to do.
  • 00:11:43.204 --> 00:11:51.713
  • I could have just kept preaching everything i've been preaching
  • 00:11:51.713 --> 00:11:54.149
  • For what, almost 30 years.
  • 00:11:54.149 --> 00:11:56.985
  • Just get up there and preach something you already know, tie
  • 00:11:56.985 --> 00:11:59.587
  • The church up, holler and hooping, get all of them behind
  • 00:11:59.587 --> 00:12:03.024
  • Me, get real inspirational and prophetical, and talk about how
  • 00:12:03.024 --> 00:12:07.362
  • We're gonna have a breakthrough for the 15th year.
  • 00:12:07.362 --> 00:12:13.067
  • I can't do that.
  • 00:12:13.067 --> 00:12:15.103
  • I can't do that.
  • 00:12:15.170 --> 00:12:17.272
  • I love you too much to shut up about this gospel of grace.
  • 00:12:17.272 --> 00:12:27.315
  • I can't do it.
  • 00:12:28.550 --> 00:12:34.022
  • "oh, brother dollar, you mess with people's tithe and that's
  • 00:12:34.022 --> 00:12:37.492
  • Why, you know, harvest ain't coming no more."
  • 00:12:37.492 --> 00:12:39.227
  • Please listen to me.
  • 00:12:39.227 --> 00:12:40.595
  • Before it's a tithe, it's a seed.
  • 00:12:40.595 --> 00:12:44.666
  • You're blessed because you sow seed, not because you tried to
  • 00:12:44.666 --> 00:12:49.404
  • Fill a percentage obligation because somebody said if you
  • 00:12:49.404 --> 00:12:53.908
  • Don't do it, you're gonna go to hell.
  • 00:12:53.908 --> 00:12:55.777
  • "well, doesn't the bible say in malachi?"
  • 00:12:55.777 --> 00:12:57.245
  • Yeah, he was talking to the levites, not you.
  • 00:12:57.245 --> 00:13:01.716
  • Now, this is pretty amazing here.
  • 00:13:01.716 --> 00:13:03.351
  • He says, "do we then make void the law through faith?"
  • 00:13:03.351 --> 00:13:11.059
  • Do we void the law through faith?
  • 00:13:11.059 --> 00:13:12.861
  • He said, "god forbid: yea, we establish the law."
  • 00:13:12.861 --> 00:13:19.467
  • Here's the word translated, established.
  • 00:13:19.467 --> 00:13:21.502
  • "we esteem the law."
  • 00:13:21.502 --> 00:13:24.005
  • Romans said the law was good but we were not.
  • 00:13:24.005 --> 00:13:28.142
  • That's why it didn't work.
  • 00:13:28.142 --> 00:13:30.845
  • We were fallen men trying to keep something that was too
  • 00:13:30.845 --> 00:13:33.715
  • Perfect for us to keep.
  • 00:13:33.715 --> 00:13:36.384
  • That's why he gave it to you.
  • 00:13:36.384 --> 00:13:37.719
  • He gave you something perfect to reveal the sinfulness of sin in
  • 00:13:37.719 --> 00:13:40.889
  • Our lives.
  • 00:13:40.889 --> 00:13:43.725
  • For, "god forbid: yea, we esteem the law."
  • 00:13:43.725 --> 00:13:46.494
  • What do you mean, esteem the law?
  • 00:13:46.494 --> 00:13:48.730
  • Because if it were not for the law, we would have never seen
  • 00:13:48.730 --> 00:13:52.800
  • Our need for a savior.
  • 00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:56.671
  • That's what--he don't mean keep the law.
  • 00:13:56.671 --> 00:13:58.206
  • He said esteem it.
  • 00:13:58.206 --> 00:14:00.108
  • Esteem it because had it not been for the law, you would have
  • 00:14:00.108 --> 00:14:02.710
  • Never saw the need for a jesus.
  • 00:14:02.710 --> 00:14:06.114
  • And some people still don't see a need for jesus.
  • 00:14:06.114 --> 00:14:07.949
  • But the need for jesus is this--please
  • 00:14:07.949 --> 00:14:09.851
  • Understand something.
  • 00:14:09.851 --> 00:14:12.353
  • The wages of sin is death.
  • 00:14:12.353 --> 00:14:17.759
  • Did you notice nobody under the law got saved?
  • 00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:22.330
  • Nobody could get saved because jesus was the only way you can
  • 00:14:22.330 --> 00:14:24.899
  • Get saved.
  • 00:14:24.899 --> 00:14:28.536
  • And if the wages of sin is death, then every sin that you
  • 00:14:28.536 --> 00:14:32.173
  • And i have ever committed in our life legally deserves death.
  • 00:14:32.173 --> 00:14:38.713
  • Subtract jesus out of the situation and we are all on our
  • 00:14:38.713 --> 00:14:43.418
  • Way to hell.
  • 00:14:43.418 --> 00:14:45.453
  • Because everybody here had done sinned and he said the wages of
  • 00:14:45.453 --> 00:14:49.590
  • Sin is death.
  • 00:14:49.590 --> 00:14:52.460
  • The women you done slept with, the men you done slept with, the
  • 00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:55.229
  • Weed you done smoked, the folks you done cussed out, who you're
  • 00:14:55.229 --> 00:14:58.099
  • Gonna rob here, who--the bad thoughts you had, all of that.
  • 00:14:58.099 --> 00:15:01.803
  • I mean, everybody in here--everybody in here going
  • 00:15:01.803 --> 00:15:05.106
  • To hell.
  • 00:15:05.106 --> 00:15:08.876
  • Keep jesus out your life.
  • 00:15:08.876 --> 00:15:10.244
  • Everybody going to hell because the law says the wages of sin
  • 00:15:10.244 --> 00:15:19.120
  • Is death.
  • 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:22.523
  • But, god loved us enough.
  • 00:15:22.523 --> 00:15:26.561
  • So here what i'm gonna do.
  • 00:15:26.561 --> 00:15:29.664
  • You need a savior.
  • 00:15:29.664 --> 00:15:32.233
  • So i'm gonna send my son to do what you could not do, live a
  • 00:15:32.233 --> 00:15:40.208
  • Sinless life.
  • 00:15:40.208 --> 00:15:45.113
  • Keep every jot and tittle of the law and then i'm gonna baptize
  • 00:15:45.113 --> 00:15:53.087
  • You into that perfection.
  • 00:15:53.087 --> 00:15:58.026
  • So no matter what happens, if you'll believe in him, that
  • 00:15:58.026 --> 00:16:06.801
  • Situation will be canceled.
  • 00:16:06.801 --> 00:16:10.638
  • But no man can get to the father unless he go through the son.
  • 00:16:10.638 --> 00:16:17.545
  • Nobody.
  • 00:16:17.545 --> 00:16:19.113
  • Thank god for the gospel of grace.
  • 00:16:19.113 --> 00:16:24.552
  • I got a few seconds left.
  • 00:16:24.552 --> 00:16:25.887
  • Romans 1:16.
  • 00:16:25.887 --> 00:16:32.026
  • Here's what paul said.
  • 00:16:32.026 --> 00:16:33.394
  • He says, "i'm not ashamed of the gospel of christ," he's talking
  • 00:16:33.394 --> 00:16:35.863
  • About the gospel of grace.
  • 00:16:35.863 --> 00:16:37.365
  • I did a teach one time showing you that the gospel of christ is
  • 00:16:37.365 --> 00:16:39.901
  • The gospel of grace.
  • 00:16:39.901 --> 00:16:41.969
  • "for i am not ashamed of the gospel of christ: for it is the
  • 00:16:41.969 --> 00:16:44.439
  • Power--it's the power of god unto salvation, it's to everyone
  • 00:16:44.439 --> 00:16:50.211
  • That believeth."
  • 00:16:50.211 --> 00:16:51.779
  • I'm not ashamed of the gospel of grace, it's the power of god.
  • 00:16:51.779 --> 00:16:56.551
  • It's the power of god and notice what he says here.
  • 00:16:56.551 --> 00:17:00.955
  • In 2 timothy chapter 3 and verse 5, i believe, in the nlt.
  • 00:17:00.955 --> 00:17:09.697
  • He says--go there right quick.
  • 00:17:09.697 --> 00:17:14.902
  • Go to the regular king james.
  • 00:17:14.902 --> 00:17:23.010
  • "having a form of godliness," that's what the church has.
  • 00:17:23.010 --> 00:17:28.249
  • Without jesus, you have a form of godliness.
  • 00:17:28.249 --> 00:17:31.252
  • You dress godly, you talk godly, you walk godly, "but you deny
  • 00:17:31.252 --> 00:17:37.525
  • The power thereof: from such turn away."
  • 00:17:37.525 --> 00:17:44.932
  • A form of godliness--religious.
  • 00:17:44.932 --> 00:17:47.335
  • We look churchy, we act churchy, we talk churchy.
  • 00:17:47.335 --> 00:17:49.871
  • A form of godliness.
  • 00:17:49.871 --> 00:17:54.942
  • This is how you defeat the devil.
  • 00:17:54.942 --> 00:17:59.814
  • Repent, change your mind, and believe the gospel.
  • 00:17:59.814 --> 00:18:04.785
  • So whatever you was believing under the law, change your mind
  • 00:18:04.785 --> 00:18:09.257
  • And believe the gospel.
  • 00:18:09.257 --> 00:18:10.892
  • Change your mind and believe the gospel.
  • 00:18:10.892 --> 00:18:19.567
  • For almost two years, i've taught a series on grace and
  • 00:18:13.895 --> 00:18:23.938
  • Before i continued on, i've got three more areas to cover.
  • 00:18:23.938 --> 00:18:29.944
  • I thought this would be a good time to bring this to your
  • 00:18:29.944 --> 00:18:32.079
  • Remembrance; change your mind, catch yourself when you're
  • 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:36.884
  • Trying to earn something that jesus is already accomplished.
  • 00:18:36.884 --> 00:18:41.689
  • You are not achievers, you are receivers.
  • 00:18:41.689 --> 00:18:45.459
  • Jesus is our great achiever and we are receivers of what jesus
  • 00:18:45.459 --> 00:18:53.134
  • Has achieved.
  • 00:18:53.134 --> 00:18:57.805
  • Now, i don't know how this hit you today, but believe me, this
  • 00:18:57.805 --> 00:19:03.344
  • May be the only planet, right?
  • 00:19:03.344 --> 00:19:04.679
  • Not the only planet, the only--and we found out we got
  • 00:19:04.679 --> 00:19:07.582
  • A lot of them, too.
  • 00:19:07.582 --> 00:19:09.650
  • This may be one of the churches, there may be some more, that i
  • 00:19:09.650 --> 00:19:12.820
  • Could even talk like this because it would take much more
  • 00:19:12.820 --> 00:19:20.161
  • Detail just to get them to understand the first scripture
  • 00:19:20.161 --> 00:19:23.264
  • I shared.
  • 00:19:23.264 --> 00:19:26.934
  • But for you, the devil will not have any more or anything else
  • 00:19:26.934 --> 00:19:36.077
  • Against you because you've changed your mind.
  • 00:19:36.077 --> 00:19:42.717
  • You've changed your mind.
  • 00:19:42.717 --> 00:19:46.220
  • I can't do this by myself, i need a savior.
  • 00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:51.759
  • I need a savior.
  • 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.262
  • If this wasn't true, i'm doomed.
  • 00:19:54.262 --> 00:20:00.735
  • If this isn't the truth, i ain't got no hope.
  • 00:20:00.735 --> 00:20:07.108
  • I'm going to hell.
  • 00:20:07.108 --> 00:20:10.344
  • If this is not true, it's over with for me.
  • 00:20:10.344 --> 00:20:19.320
  • I might as well get out of this pulpit and just do whatever it
  • 00:20:19.320 --> 00:20:23.357
  • Is i wanna do before time come.
  • 00:20:23.357 --> 00:20:25.126
  • If this isn't the truth?
  • 00:20:25.126 --> 00:20:30.097
  • But it is.
  • 00:20:30.097 --> 00:20:31.432
  • Somebody say, "how you know?"
  • 00:20:31.432 --> 00:20:33.234
  • Because he has reached deep down on the inside of me, changed my
  • 00:20:33.234 --> 00:20:38.272
  • Desires, and giving me the desire to do what pleases him.
  • 00:20:38.272 --> 00:20:46.681
  • I've changed my mind.
  • 00:20:46.681 --> 00:20:49.750
  • The question is: you think you're gonna be able to do that?
  • 00:20:49.750 --> 00:20:55.656
  • Because if you walk away today, after hearing what i just heard,
  • 00:20:55.656 --> 00:21:00.227
  • Dude, you got to accept responsibility for everything
  • 00:21:00.227 --> 00:21:02.897
  • Else that happens in your life because now you're gonna attempt
  • 00:21:02.897 --> 00:21:05.466
  • To try to prove something that the word made clear that you
  • 00:21:05.466 --> 00:21:08.135
  • Can't do by yourself.
  • 00:21:08.135 --> 00:21:11.272
  • Bow your heads, let's pray.
  • 00:21:11.272 --> 00:21:14.208
  • Father, we need you.
  • 00:21:14.208 --> 00:21:23.918
  • We need you in this crazy time that is about to visit
  • 00:21:23.918 --> 00:21:27.922
  • This earth.
  • 00:21:27.922 --> 00:21:31.058
  • We need you in the midst of brokenness and hurt and pain
  • 00:21:31.058 --> 00:21:37.565
  • And rejection.
  • 00:21:37.565 --> 00:21:40.234
  • We need you economically when technology is about to come to
  • 00:21:40.234 --> 00:21:48.709
  • Try to create a new class of poverty.
  • 00:21:48.709 --> 00:21:51.178
  • Lord, we need you.
  • 00:21:51.178 --> 00:21:52.613
  • You are enough.
  • 00:21:52.613 --> 00:21:55.983
  • Help us to change our mind and believe the gospel.
  • 00:21:55.983 --> 00:22:04.592
  • Help us to know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, to know that
  • 00:22:04.592 --> 00:22:13.634
  • You are enough.
  • 00:22:13.634 --> 00:22:16.637
  • Jesus, you are enough.
  • 00:22:16.637 --> 00:22:20.908
  • Let us not continue to give the devil a foothold in our lives.
  • 00:22:20.908 --> 00:22:29.583
  • We are holy because of you.
  • 00:22:29.583 --> 00:22:31.419
