  • Creflo: you think you're gonna change your mind 'cause
  • 00:02:14.570 --> 00:02:16.405
  • You wanna to change your mind.
  • 00:02:16.405 --> 00:02:18.006
  • God says, "my goodness is gonna lead you into changing
  • 00:02:18.006 --> 00:02:21.610
  • Your mind."
  • 00:02:21.610 --> 00:02:23.845
  • I don't know what you're thinking about a thing right
  • 00:02:23.845 --> 00:02:26.048
  • Now, but he says, "my goodness," how do i say that?
  • 00:02:26.048 --> 00:02:34.423
  • So we were on the way to church this morning and i was
  • 00:02:34.423 --> 00:02:37.259
  • Kind of quiet over there in the driver's seat thinking about
  • 00:02:37.259 --> 00:02:39.895
  • This and the lord spoke to me he said, "have you noticed that
  • 00:02:39.895 --> 00:02:43.699
  • When i choose people to use they're never the perfect
  • 00:02:43.699 --> 00:02:49.404
  • Obedient sinless people?"
  • 00:02:49.404 --> 00:02:55.777
  • And i started kind of going through it 'cause i'm thinking
  • 00:02:55.777 --> 00:02:58.013
  • Well now i know there's some folks in there that was perfect.
  • 00:02:58.013 --> 00:03:00.582
  • So he said, "name them."
  • 00:03:00.582 --> 00:03:03.852
  • I said, well, "oh."
  • 00:03:03.852 --> 00:03:12.094
  • And i got to thinking about the big ones.
  • 00:03:12.094 --> 00:03:15.764
  • You know, i said, well, you know, the bible said moses was a
  • 00:03:15.764 --> 00:03:22.371
  • Man after god's heart and god said moses said that about
  • 00:03:22.371 --> 00:03:25.307
  • Himself, but he was a murderer.
  • 00:03:25.307 --> 00:03:31.780
  • He had issues.
  • 00:03:31.780 --> 00:03:35.083
  • I said, well, david was chosen out of the back, man, to
  • 00:03:35.083 --> 00:03:38.387
  • Be king, handpicked by god.
  • 00:03:38.387 --> 00:03:40.489
  • Yeah, i picked him.
  • 00:03:40.489 --> 00:03:43.025
  • But he was a peeping tom and had a woman's wife--a
  • 00:03:43.025 --> 00:03:48.096
  • Husband killed.
  • 00:03:48.096 --> 00:03:53.368
  • Well, the apostle of grace, paul, he said, now you know.
  • 00:03:53.368 --> 00:04:02.577
  • I said, look at that.
  • 00:04:02.577 --> 00:04:05.180
  • Now there might have been some that--but nobody's
  • 00:04:05.180 --> 00:04:07.582
  • Without issue.
  • 00:04:07.582 --> 00:04:08.917
  • It's possible.
  • 00:04:08.917 --> 00:04:10.285
  • Everybody--that's why i'm trying--religion wants you to
  • 00:04:10.285 --> 00:04:11.820
  • Think that by rule keeping that declares that somehow there are
  • 00:04:11.820 --> 00:04:18.593
  • Some more perfect people than you because they seem to keep
  • 00:04:18.593 --> 00:04:23.732
  • All the rules.
  • 00:04:23.732 --> 00:04:25.434
  • And rule keeping just begets more rules to keep.
  • 00:04:25.434 --> 00:04:33.475
  • And i said, "well, lord, why?"
  • 00:04:33.475 --> 00:04:36.511
  • He says, "'cause i cannot afford for any man to qualify based on
  • 00:04:36.511 --> 00:04:42.951
  • His perfection and to have boasting about it.
  • 00:04:42.951 --> 00:04:48.256
  • For then my grace would be nothing."
  • 00:04:48.256 --> 00:04:52.527
  • Wow. wow.
  • 00:04:52.527 --> 00:04:56.732
  • Yeah.
  • 00:04:56.732 --> 00:04:59.101
  • He said, "and i noticed they got better.
  • 00:04:59.101 --> 00:05:02.804
  • They got better because mercy and grace was upon their lives.
  • 00:05:02.804 --> 00:05:10.112
  • I might have chosen hellions, but my mercy and my goodness
  • 00:05:10.112 --> 00:05:19.020
  • Changed their mind about the hell that they were
  • 00:05:19.020 --> 00:05:22.691
  • Involved in."
  • 00:05:22.691 --> 00:05:27.629
  • What was that you said?
  • 00:05:27.629 --> 00:05:28.997
  • Hold on a minute.
  • 00:05:28.997 --> 00:05:30.665
  • All right.
  • 00:05:30.665 --> 00:05:32.834
  • You remember what i just said.
  • 00:05:32.834 --> 00:05:34.870
  • You might have started off that way, but you ain't gonna end up
  • 00:05:34.870 --> 00:05:37.639
  • That way.
  • 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.474
  • He said, grace is not that which allows me to do a thing, but
  • 00:05:39.474 --> 00:05:47.749
  • Grace is that which shapes me into doing a thing.
  • 00:05:47.749 --> 00:05:54.723
  • See, even grace people look at grace like, well, grace allows
  • 00:05:54.723 --> 00:05:57.959
  • Me to do this and grace allows me and because i'm under grace,
  • 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.096
  • I can do that and i can do that.
  • 00:06:01.096 --> 00:06:03.331
  • And so what he said like, no, grace is not the--is not
  • 00:06:03.331 --> 00:06:06.368
  • Licensing you to do crazy.
  • 00:06:06.368 --> 00:06:10.906
  • He said, grace is what's gonna shape you out of crazy.
  • 00:06:10.906 --> 00:06:16.511
  • How is he gonna shape you out of crazy?
  • 00:06:16.511 --> 00:06:18.847
  • Through his goodness.
  • 00:06:18.847 --> 00:06:20.916
  • His goodness is gonna change your mind.
  • 00:06:20.916 --> 00:06:22.350
  • It's gonna change your mind about the crazy.
  • 00:06:22.350 --> 00:06:25.287
  • So whatever you're doing and saying, "you know, well, i'm
  • 00:06:25.287 --> 00:06:28.790
  • Under grace."
  • 00:06:28.790 --> 00:06:30.158
  • The neat part about that is at least you got the rhythm still
  • 00:06:30.158 --> 00:06:32.794
  • Going, but now watch what happens if you keep the rhythm
  • 00:06:32.794 --> 00:06:37.966
  • And keep going.
  • 00:06:37.966 --> 00:06:39.334
  • The goodness shows up and you know what happens when the
  • 00:06:39.334 --> 00:06:42.404
  • Goodness shows up?
  • 00:06:42.404 --> 00:06:43.738
  • You're like, i just don't wanna do this no more.
  • 00:06:43.738 --> 00:06:50.679
  • Well, is it a matter of right and wrong?
  • 00:06:50.679 --> 00:06:52.113
  • No, it's a matter that i don't want to do it no more.
  • 00:06:52.113 --> 00:06:58.353
  • Well, there ain't nothing wrong with drinking.
  • 00:06:58.353 --> 00:06:59.888
  • Yeah, i know, but i don't wanna do it no more.
  • 00:06:59.888 --> 00:07:03.024
  • Why?
  • 00:07:03.024 --> 00:07:04.359
  • Because i went to have my liver checked and something was wrong
  • 00:07:04.359 --> 00:07:06.261
  • With it and the goodness of god has healed my liver.
  • 00:07:06.261 --> 00:07:08.430
  • I just don't want it no more.
  • 00:07:08.430 --> 00:07:10.398
  • It is not a matter of something being right or wrong.
  • 00:07:10.398 --> 00:07:13.235
  • Goodness is gonna change your desire and when it hits in the
  • 00:07:13.235 --> 00:07:16.671
  • Desire place, that's when it's gonna be significant to you.
  • 00:07:16.671 --> 00:07:20.175
  • We christians and religious always making it about right
  • 00:07:20.175 --> 00:07:22.978
  • And wrong.
  • 00:07:22.978 --> 00:07:24.346
  • This is not about right and wrong.
  • 00:07:24.346 --> 00:07:25.680
  • It is about a relationship and i don't want to disappoint him
  • 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.483
  • Because he's been too good to me.
  • 00:07:28.483 --> 00:07:30.285
  • He has now shaped me to do right.
  • 00:07:30.285 --> 00:07:35.457
  • He's shaping me to do right.
  • 00:07:35.457 --> 00:07:38.293
  • I'm being formed and shaping into his image, not grace and
  • 00:07:38.293 --> 00:07:44.766
  • Mercy for allowing me to do something wrong, but grace and
  • 00:07:44.766 --> 00:07:49.604
  • Mercy that's shaping me to do it right.
  • 00:07:49.604 --> 00:07:56.511
  • Are y'all hearing what i'm saying?
  • 00:07:56.511 --> 00:08:01.983
  • What has this religion done to us?
  • 00:08:01.983 --> 00:08:05.186
  • What has it done?
  • 00:08:05.186 --> 00:08:09.591
  • And you see, you gotta have that relationship with jesus.
  • 00:08:09.591 --> 00:08:13.762
  • Oh god.
  • 00:08:13.762 --> 00:08:17.265
  • And he'll talk to you right where you are.
  • 00:08:17.265 --> 00:08:22.604
  • Lord, what do you think about that?
  • 00:08:22.604 --> 00:08:23.939
  • Well, what do you think about it?
  • 00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:26.274
  • He'll always put it back on you.
  • 00:08:26.274 --> 00:08:28.243
  • He said 'cause my goodness is already in the rhythm.
  • 00:08:28.243 --> 00:08:32.213
  • I'm not gonna break my rhythm [speaking in tongues].
  • 00:08:32.213 --> 00:08:35.450
  • I'm not breaking my rhythm.
  • 00:08:35.450 --> 00:08:37.786
  • I ain't changing my mind.
  • 00:08:37.786 --> 00:08:39.688
  • I'm not breaking my rhythm.
  • 00:08:39.688 --> 00:08:41.489
  • It's gonna be the same now, henceforth, and forever going.
  • 00:08:41.489 --> 00:08:44.893
  • I'm just trying to get you on this rhythm right now.
  • 00:08:44.893 --> 00:08:52.634
  • I'm so tired of people quoting right and wrong of me.
  • 00:08:52.634 --> 00:08:58.473
  • I want you to have a relationship with jesus.
  • 00:08:58.473 --> 00:09:01.810
  • And through his goodness, he gonna get you to change your
  • 00:09:01.810 --> 00:09:04.946
  • Mind about your wrong and you you're gonna change your mind
  • 00:09:04.946 --> 00:09:08.283
  • And wanting to do.
  • 00:09:08.283 --> 00:09:09.651
  • That's all god wants in the new testament.
  • 00:09:09.651 --> 00:09:11.453
  • He wants you to want to. he wants you to want to.
  • 00:09:11.453 --> 00:09:14.456
  • Religion wants to fear and scare you into doing something and use
  • 00:09:14.456 --> 00:09:18.293
  • Hell and lack to try to get you motivated to doing something and
  • 00:09:18.293 --> 00:09:21.963
  • God says, "no, if i can't be your motivation.
  • 00:09:21.963 --> 00:09:28.970
  • I wanna be your motivation."
  • 00:09:28.970 --> 00:09:34.676
  • All right, let's look at the romans 2:3 through 4 in
  • 00:09:34.676 --> 00:09:36.911
  • The mirror.
  • 00:09:36.911 --> 00:09:41.583
  • I'm gonna ask the question in a moment, can god find expression
  • 00:09:41.583 --> 00:09:44.886
  • Through you?
  • 00:09:44.886 --> 00:09:47.088
  • That's all he wants.
  • 00:09:47.088 --> 00:09:53.294
  • "again, fellow human, why be so presumptuous in your reasoning
  • 00:09:53.294 --> 00:10:00.702
  • In keeping your performance-based system alive
  • 00:10:00.702 --> 00:10:05.006
  • In your hypocritical jew vs gentile judgments of
  • 00:10:05.006 --> 00:10:09.477
  • One another!
  • 00:10:09.477 --> 00:10:11.246
  • In the process, you are fleeing away from your
  • 00:10:11.246 --> 00:10:14.115
  • Redeemed innocence."
  • 00:10:14.115 --> 00:10:16.317
  • You're losing the rhythm.
  • 00:10:16.317 --> 00:10:18.086
  • You keep going to a performance, you have messed up the rhythm.
  • 00:10:18.086 --> 00:10:20.388
  • You are fleeing from your redeemed innocence.
  • 00:10:20.388 --> 00:10:23.858
  • I have delivered you and you're fleeing from it.
  • 00:10:23.858 --> 00:10:26.961
  • You're fleeing from it.
  • 00:10:26.961 --> 00:10:28.296
  • I've delivered you from smoking weed and you were good for two
  • 00:10:28.296 --> 00:10:32.300
  • Weeks and you picked it up and you think, "oh, i ain't redeemed
  • 00:10:32.300 --> 00:10:35.203
  • From it."
  • 00:10:35.203 --> 00:10:36.571
  • He said, "no, what i did is foreverlasting and everlasting.
  • 00:10:36.571 --> 00:10:38.707
  • You're redeemed.
  • 00:10:38.707 --> 00:10:40.041
  • Get get back in the rhythm. get back in the rhythm."
  • 00:10:40.041 --> 00:10:42.777
  • You're fleeing from your redeemed innocence.
  • 00:10:42.777 --> 00:10:44.813
  • That's what the enemy's job is.
  • 00:10:44.813 --> 00:10:46.247
  • How can i get you to flee from the finished?
  • 00:10:46.247 --> 00:10:49.250
  • How can i get you to move out of the finished?
  • 00:10:49.250 --> 00:10:51.586
  • How can i get you to move away from what i have done?
  • 00:10:51.586 --> 00:10:54.589
  • It is finished. you are redeemed.
  • 00:10:54.589 --> 00:10:56.524
  • It it is finished. it is done.
  • 00:10:56.524 --> 00:10:58.059
  • It can't be undone. i done delivered you.
  • 00:10:58.059 --> 00:10:59.761
  • You are delivered. i'm delivered you.
  • 00:10:59.761 --> 00:11:01.463
  • You hadn't recognized it yet.
  • 00:11:01.463 --> 00:11:03.198
  • Just cause you smoked again, you think you think you back
  • 00:11:03.198 --> 00:11:05.767
  • Into bondage-- now i have delivered you.
  • 00:11:05.767 --> 00:11:08.303
  • You need to realize you're delivered.
  • 00:11:08.303 --> 00:11:09.971
  • You are running away from your redeemed innocence.
  • 00:11:09.971 --> 00:11:18.079
  • "unveiled in the righteous judgment of god.
  • 00:11:18.079 --> 00:11:25.553
  • Do not underestimate god's kindness."
  • 00:11:25.553 --> 00:11:31.192
  • People do that.
  • 00:11:31.192 --> 00:11:32.560
  • I remember one time where people used to look at love as a
  • 00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:35.563
  • Weak thing.
  • 00:11:35.563 --> 00:11:36.965
  • And the preachers used to have to fix it up so it wouldn't
  • 00:11:36.965 --> 00:11:40.335
  • Sound so weak.
  • 00:11:40.335 --> 00:11:42.470
  • That's religion thinking that.
  • 00:11:42.470 --> 00:11:44.405
  • And he said, here, you underestimate my kindness.
  • 00:11:44.405 --> 00:11:47.942
  • Do you know what kindness can do when you demonstrate it
  • 00:11:47.942 --> 00:11:53.281
  • In somebody else's life?
  • 00:11:53.281 --> 00:11:56.918
  • We went--we were celebrating taffi's birthday this week.
  • 00:11:56.918 --> 00:12:00.455
  • We went to--i don't know what they call that place we
  • 00:12:00.455 --> 00:12:02.791
  • Went downtown.
  • 00:12:02.791 --> 00:12:05.960
  • Yeah, the guy we saw on the street.
  • 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:11.166
  • Yeah, yeah, we were in atlanta-- what is that atlantic?
  • 00:12:11.166 --> 00:12:14.002
  • Yeah, we was in atlantic station and there was a guy who was
  • 00:12:14.002 --> 00:12:16.905
  • Selling some products, skin products on the street.
  • 00:12:16.905 --> 00:12:22.644
  • And normally i don't, you know, we don't pay no attention to
  • 00:12:22.644 --> 00:12:26.080
  • That, you know, just go on.
  • 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.550
  • And so jordan stopped and listened to him and was
  • 00:12:28.550 --> 00:12:33.755
  • Impressed and i was impressed because there was a black man on
  • 00:12:33.755 --> 00:12:37.125
  • The street trying to make something happen.
  • 00:12:37.125 --> 00:12:41.763
  • And so i went over to him and i gave him $100.
  • 00:12:41.763 --> 00:12:43.965
  • I said, i wanna sow this into your business, man.
  • 00:12:43.965 --> 00:12:46.801
  • And he was like oh thank you.
  • 00:12:46.801 --> 00:12:49.304
  • And then jordan came over in and i smelled her stuff and i said,
  • 00:12:49.304 --> 00:12:52.674
  • Oh that smells good.
  • 00:12:52.674 --> 00:12:54.609
  • And they had one in a cologne thing.
  • 00:12:54.609 --> 00:12:58.580
  • One, yeah, who?
  • 00:12:58.580 --> 00:13:03.051
  • Yeah, that.
  • 00:13:03.051 --> 00:13:04.419
  • And yeah, they had it in there and i sniffed it and i thought
  • 00:13:04.419 --> 00:13:10.358
  • Well hey i said, "come on over here man."
  • 00:13:10.358 --> 00:13:13.728
  • I said, "what you got here?"
  • 00:13:13.728 --> 00:13:16.297
  • And he looked at me and said, "well, sir, you already gave
  • 00:13:16.297 --> 00:13:18.867
  • Me $100.
  • 00:13:18.867 --> 00:13:20.235
  • I might just receive, you know."
  • 00:13:20.235 --> 00:13:22.704
  • And i said, "give me two of them.
  • 00:13:22.704 --> 00:13:24.739
  • Taffi, you want some?"
  • 00:13:24.739 --> 00:13:26.074
  • "sure, i want that. give them two of that."
  • 00:13:26.074 --> 00:13:27.675
  • "you want something?" "two of that."
  • 00:13:27.675 --> 00:13:30.011
  • I asked, "how much i owe you?"
  • 00:13:30.011 --> 00:13:31.679
  • He said, "well, you already paid for it, but you--"
  • 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.481
  • I said, "him, what is it?" "give him--"
  • 00:13:33.481 --> 00:13:36.251
  • And we gave it to him.
  • 00:13:36.251 --> 00:13:39.554
  • I said to taffi, i said, "he ain't never gonna forget
  • 00:13:39.554 --> 00:13:42.957
  • This day."
  • 00:13:42.957 --> 00:13:45.059
  • Something changed to him through kindness.
  • 00:13:45.059 --> 00:13:50.832
  • Something changed through kindness.
  • 00:13:50.832 --> 00:13:53.701
  • And as christian people, some of us we need to learn how to
  • 00:13:53.701 --> 00:13:56.537
  • Be kind.
  • 00:13:56.537 --> 00:13:59.741
  • We're so deep and spiritual and mean.
  • 00:13:59.741 --> 00:14:04.245
  • And we were kind to that guy.
  • 00:14:04.245 --> 00:14:07.515
  • Now, i mean, so i'm kind to him, but there's sometimes i ain't so
  • 00:14:07.515 --> 00:14:11.419
  • Kind and my rhythm.
  • 00:14:11.419 --> 00:14:13.655
  • When i'm tired and i'm sleeping and you done got on my nerves.
  • 00:14:13.655 --> 00:14:21.462
  • I can tell you stuff i ain't even mean.
  • 00:14:21.462 --> 00:14:26.501
  • But i looked at that guy and i thought, you could just see
  • 00:14:26.501 --> 00:14:29.170
  • Something happened to him.
  • 00:14:29.170 --> 00:14:32.607
  • Something happened to him.
  • 00:14:32.607 --> 00:14:34.742
  • He said, "don't you pastor a church?"
  • 00:14:34.742 --> 00:14:37.645
  • See them folks know you.
  • 00:14:37.645 --> 00:14:40.782
  • "don't you pastor a church?"
  • 00:14:40.782 --> 00:14:42.150
  • "yeah, we pastor a little church, some college park
  • 00:14:42.150 --> 00:14:45.253
  • Down here."
  • 00:14:45.253 --> 00:14:47.255
  • That ain't time for you to brag on you.
  • 00:14:47.255 --> 00:14:49.624
  • 'cause whatever you bragging on, god did.
  • 00:14:49.624 --> 00:14:51.693
  • So how you gonna boast on something you didn't do?
  • 00:14:51.693 --> 00:14:56.631
  • "oh yes, i pastor the big dome in college park, georgia.
  • 00:14:56.631 --> 00:15:00.134
  • Hey, [speaking in tongues] worldwide, hallelujah!
  • 00:15:00.134 --> 00:15:04.806
  • Seven offices in all the locations.
  • 00:15:04.806 --> 00:15:07.508
  • Yes, amen. glory to god.
  • 00:15:07.508 --> 00:15:10.211
  • I is he, the doctor, ha ha ha."
  • 00:15:10.211 --> 00:15:13.815
  • You ain't do nothing.
  • 00:15:13.815 --> 00:15:16.084
  • Shut your mouth up.
  • 00:15:16.084 --> 00:15:17.418
  • You ain't do nothing.
  • 00:15:17.418 --> 00:15:22.423
  • We love to get opportunity.
  • 00:15:22.423 --> 00:15:23.758
  • When we get that opportunity to boast on ourselves, we forget
  • 00:15:23.758 --> 00:15:26.594
  • All about that god did it, right.
  • 00:15:26.594 --> 00:15:33.501
  • Don't underestimate god's kindness.
  • 00:15:33.501 --> 00:15:41.676
  • Somebody says, "yeah, but pastor, i don't underestimate
  • 00:15:41.676 --> 00:15:44.078
  • It, but sometimes, oh, when i do wrong i feel so bad."
  • 00:15:44.078 --> 00:15:47.115
  • Keep the rhythm 'cause you have enough grace to take care of the
  • 00:15:47.115 --> 00:15:51.853
  • Bad that you had.
  • 00:15:51.853 --> 00:15:53.821
  • Keep the rhythm.
  • 00:15:53.821 --> 00:15:55.189
  • Just keep the rhythm.
  • 00:15:55.189 --> 00:15:56.591
  • Don't get focused more on the bad day you had.
  • 00:15:56.591 --> 00:16:00.161
  • Keep the rhythm. keep the rhythm.
  • 00:16:00.161 --> 00:16:03.831
  • He says, "the wealth of his benevolence and his resolute
  • 00:16:03.831 --> 00:16:08.736
  • Refusal to let go of us."
  • 00:16:08.736 --> 00:16:13.274
  • Stop.
  • 00:16:13.274 --> 00:16:16.044
  • God, stop.
  • 00:16:16.044 --> 00:16:19.414
  • The resolute refusal, it is so settled in god.
  • 00:16:19.414 --> 00:16:25.520
  • Not trying to change it no more.
  • 00:16:25.520 --> 00:16:27.622
  • He has decided for eternity.
  • 00:16:27.622 --> 00:16:31.759
  • Oh glory to god.
  • 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:36.597
  • Go back. i need to read it again.
  • 00:16:36.597 --> 00:16:38.399
  • Go back, "do not underestimate god's kindness.
  • 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:42.003
  • The wealth of his benevolence, and his resolute refusal to let
  • 00:16:42.003 --> 00:16:45.973
  • Go of us."
  • 00:16:45.973 --> 00:16:49.110
  • Now that don't sound like religion to me.
  • 00:16:49.110 --> 00:16:51.012
  • God has refused, has made his mind up that i refuse to let
  • 00:16:51.012 --> 00:16:55.983
  • You go.
  • 00:16:55.983 --> 00:16:58.252
  • Now tell me about all your little nasty.
  • 00:16:58.252 --> 00:16:59.954
  • Tell me about all your little crazy.
  • 00:16:59.954 --> 00:17:01.756
  • And god says, i still ain't gonna let you go.
  • 00:17:01.756 --> 00:17:06.294
  • I still ain't gonna let you go.
  • 00:17:06.294 --> 00:17:07.662
  • Now what you did may have some physical consequences and what
  • 00:17:07.662 --> 00:17:10.231
  • You did might send you to jail and what you did might, you
  • 00:17:10.231 --> 00:17:13.968
  • Might be homeless 'cause there are some, you know, your
  • 00:17:13.968 --> 00:17:17.472
  • Compromise here does have consequences here too, you know.
  • 00:17:17.472 --> 00:17:21.542
  • But god, one of the consequences is absolutely not god letting
  • 00:17:21.542 --> 00:17:24.912
  • You go.
  • 00:17:24.912 --> 00:17:27.048
  • But religion will tell you oh, god don't wanna have nothing to
  • 00:17:27.048 --> 00:17:29.884
  • Do with this.
  • 00:17:29.884 --> 00:17:31.686
  • You're doing this and god don't like ugly.
  • 00:17:31.686 --> 00:17:33.855
  • God ain't gonna do this and you got a divorce.
  • 00:17:33.855 --> 00:17:36.124
  • You won't be seeing god like you did when you was married.
  • 00:17:36.124 --> 00:17:39.494
  • You--let me stay out of that.
  • 00:17:39.494 --> 00:17:41.696
  • I need to just stay alive.
  • 00:17:41.696 --> 00:17:43.831
  • I got a lot i can say, but i'll say a little bit later.
  • 00:17:43.831 --> 00:17:47.702
  • No, i ain't good.
  • 00:17:47.702 --> 00:17:49.537
  • You saying that and that just be me and you here in the next
  • 00:17:49.537 --> 00:17:51.839
  • Week, you know.
  • 00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.642
  • He refuses to let you go.
  • 00:17:54.642 --> 00:17:57.578
  • Now you think about that.
  • 00:17:57.578 --> 00:17:58.913
  • He refuses to let you go.
  • 00:17:58.913 --> 00:18:00.281
  • He ain't letting you go.
  • 00:18:00.281 --> 00:18:02.383
  • He's not gonna let you go.
  • 00:18:02.383 --> 00:18:04.285
  • There's one scripture and i believe one verse says that he
  • 00:18:04.285 --> 00:18:06.487
  • Will fight for his relationship with you.
  • 00:18:06.487 --> 00:18:10.892
  • He ain't letting you go.
  • 00:18:10.892 --> 00:18:12.660
  • For all of you who have been told that god has let you go, it
  • 00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:15.863
  • Was a lie straight from the pit of hell.
  • 00:18:15.863 --> 00:18:18.199
  • God has a resolute, has made a decision.
  • 00:18:18.199 --> 00:18:21.002
  • I'm not gonna let you go.
  • 00:18:21.002 --> 00:18:22.703
  • I'm not gonna--come hell or high waters, i'm not gonna let you go
  • 00:18:22.703 --> 00:18:26.974
  • [speaking in tongues].
  • 00:18:26.974 --> 00:18:29.310
  • I'm not letting you go.
  • 00:18:29.310 --> 00:18:31.746
  • And so why won't you let me go?
  • 00:18:31.746 --> 00:18:35.883
  • He says, i'm haunted with the echo of the likeness.
  • 00:18:35.883 --> 00:18:40.721
  • Let me read it like 'cause when i saw it, i'm like, it won't get
  • 00:18:40.721 --> 00:18:44.225
  • Off his mind.
  • 00:18:44.225 --> 00:18:45.760
  • He said, "because he continues to hear the echo of his likeness
  • 00:18:45.760 --> 00:18:49.730
  • In us!"
  • 00:18:49.730 --> 00:18:52.500
  • [speaking in tongues]. he keeps hearing
  • 00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:55.336
  • The echo of his likeness.
  • 00:18:55.336 --> 00:19:01.409
  • He keeps hearing out of you.
  • 00:19:01.409 --> 00:19:07.181
  • He keeps hearing out of you the likeness.
  • 00:19:07.181 --> 00:19:12.553
  • In the beginning, he breathed into man the breath of life and
  • 00:19:12.553 --> 00:19:17.291
  • Man became a living soul.
  • 00:19:17.291 --> 00:19:19.160
  • And he keeps hearing out of you the echo of his likeness.
  • 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:28.803
  • I can't let you go.
  • 00:19:28.803 --> 00:19:32.607
  • I can't let you go 'cause i'm still in there.
  • 00:19:32.607 --> 00:19:39.280
  • With all your mess with all your junk, the breath you breathe is
  • 00:19:39.280 --> 00:19:44.418
  • My breath.
  • 00:19:44.418 --> 00:19:49.223
  • You're breathing my breath.
  • 00:19:49.223 --> 00:19:54.829
  • You're breathing my breath.
  • 00:19:54.895 --> 00:20:02.837
  • The likeness, i can't let go of you because i keep hearing the
  • 00:20:02.837 --> 00:20:07.675
  • Echo of my likeness in you.
  • 00:20:07.675 --> 00:20:11.879
  • "thus," so this is why and gives the explanation to his
  • 00:20:11.879 --> 00:20:20.221
  • Patient passion.
  • 00:20:20.221 --> 00:20:23.724
  • His patient passion.
  • 00:20:23.724 --> 00:20:26.727
  • You did something so crazy and like god dog it but oh, i keep
  • 00:20:26.727 --> 00:20:32.800
  • Hearing the echo of my likeness in them.
  • 00:20:32.800 --> 00:20:39.240
  • I talk it out and told them and i showed them goodness and
  • 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.475
  • Mercy, and you still--i keep hearing that echo of my likeness
  • 00:20:41.475 --> 00:20:47.748
  • In them.
  • 00:20:47.748 --> 00:20:51.319
  • My passion is patient.
  • 00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:55.423
  • Thus his passion, "his patient passion is to shepherd" you.
  • 00:20:55.423 --> 00:20:59.260
  • Here's his passion. here's his passion.
  • 00:20:59.260 --> 00:21:01.962
  • Here's his passion, "to shepherd everyone into a radical
  • 00:21:01.962 --> 00:21:07.301
  • Mind shift."
  • 00:21:07.301 --> 00:21:14.041
  • [speaking in tongues]. so here's what he's doing.
  • 00:21:14.041 --> 00:21:19.580
  • I am gonna patiently but passionately shepherd you into a
  • 00:21:19.580 --> 00:21:28.622
  • Radical mind shift.
  • 00:21:28.622 --> 00:21:35.329
  • He's working on your thinking.
  • 00:21:35.329 --> 00:21:40.801
  • To get your mind to shift from performance-based, to shift from
  • 00:21:40.801 --> 00:21:46.941
  • Law-based, to shift from religion based.
  • 00:21:46.941 --> 00:21:51.712
  • It's radical.
  • 00:21:51.712 --> 00:21:53.981
  • But this grace is radical.
  • 00:21:53.981 --> 00:21:57.752
  • I'm going to shepherd you
  • 00:21:57.752 --> 00:22:06.227
  • Through my goodness and my passion
  • 00:22:06.227 --> 00:22:11.766
  • Into a radical mind shift.
  • 00:22:11.766 --> 00:22:19.006
  • Religion--the religion they never told me this.
  • 00:22:19.006 --> 00:22:23.310
  • Based on religion, religion told me, now don't say nothing 'cause
  • 00:22:23.310 --> 00:22:26.547
  • You ain't never heard nobody say that.
  • 00:22:26.547 --> 00:22:30.484
  • And if you say something ain't nobody said, then you will be
  • 00:22:30.484 --> 00:22:34.288
  • Guilty of heresy and they'll call you a heretic.
  • 00:22:34.288 --> 00:22:38.659
  • I had to consider all that.
  • 00:22:38.659 --> 00:22:41.562
  • But now that's why i had to get delivered from
  • 00:22:41.562 --> 00:22:43.731
  • Approval addiction.
  • 00:22:43.731 --> 00:22:45.966
  • Because as long as you're addicted to somebody's approval,
  • 00:22:45.966 --> 00:22:49.336
  • You cannot serve god.
  • 00:22:49.336 --> 00:22:52.006
  • Are you addicted to the approval of people?
  • 00:22:52.006 --> 00:22:55.342
  • Wonder what is being limited in your life because you care more
  • 00:22:55.342 --> 00:23:00.381
  • About what people's approval are of you than you do
  • 00:23:00.381 --> 00:23:04.652
  • God's approval.
  • 00:23:04.652 --> 00:23:06.353
  • And god's already approved it.
  • 00:23:06.353 --> 00:23:09.390
  • Male announcer: how can christians thrive and flourish?
  • 00:23:13.494 --> 00:23:15.796
  • Our lives are supposed to be better in christ, but sometimes
  • 00:23:15.796 --> 00:23:18.866
  • They don't seem like they are.
  • 00:23:18.866 --> 00:23:20.234
