- Yes!
- 00:00:52.599 --> 00:00:53.933
- Can you say that he's a god that sits high and looks low?

- Creflo: all right, let's rock and roll.
- 00:01:47.887 --> 00:01:49.255
- We're going to dig.
- 00:01:49.255 --> 00:01:50.590
- You ready--you came ready?
- 00:01:50.590 --> 00:01:52.225
- All right, so here's what we're going to talk about today.
- 00:01:52.225 --> 00:01:53.893
- We're going to talk about "grace-based success:
- 00:01:53.893 --> 00:02:03.469
- Living whole and walking in purpose."
- 00:02:03.469 --> 00:02:08.708
- "grace-based success: living whole and walking in purpose."
- 00:02:08.708 --> 00:02:16.316
- Again, i want to go to genesis 39:2, and i want to start
- 00:02:16.316 --> 00:02:20.653
- Off here.
- 00:02:20.653 --> 00:02:23.022
- We are in the middle of a series called "true prosperity," and
- 00:02:23.022 --> 00:02:26.693
- What we've learned so far is that money doesn't
- 00:02:26.693 --> 00:02:29.429
- Define prosperity.
- 00:02:29.429 --> 00:02:30.797
- Your material things don't define prosperity.
- 00:02:30.797 --> 00:02:33.967
- Prosperity is defined as wholeness.
- 00:02:33.967 --> 00:02:38.004
- And you're not whole if there's something missing or
- 00:02:38.004 --> 00:02:41.441
- Something broken.
- 00:02:41.441 --> 00:02:43.409
- So, as soon as somebody gets a million dollars, they say, "look
- 00:02:43.409 --> 00:02:46.212
- How prosperous i am."
- 00:02:46.212 --> 00:02:47.547
- You're not prosperous because you've got a million dollars.
- 00:02:47.547 --> 00:02:50.316
- If you don't--if there's something missing, like if you
- 00:02:50.316 --> 00:02:52.051
- Have a million dollars, but your health is missing, you're just a
- 00:02:52.051 --> 00:02:56.456
- Sick man with a million dollars.
- 00:02:56.456 --> 00:02:57.890
- That's not prosperity.
- 00:02:57.890 --> 00:02:59.492
- That's not wholeness.
- 00:02:59.492 --> 00:03:01.394
- When you're whole, there's nothing missing.
- 00:03:01.394 --> 00:03:04.297
- Your health is intact, your relationships are intact, your
- 00:03:04.297 --> 00:03:08.001
- Security is intact, your peace is intact.
- 00:03:08.001 --> 00:03:12.572
- All of those things are there.
- 00:03:12.572 --> 00:03:14.340
- I'll tell you what, if you have a million dollars and no peace,
- 00:03:14.340 --> 00:03:17.277
- I'd guarantee that a million dollars is just amplified your
- 00:03:17.277 --> 00:03:19.946
- No peace, you know.
- 00:03:19.946 --> 00:03:21.881
- So please, we've got to change our thinking.
- 00:03:21.881 --> 00:03:24.450
- Money does not define prosperity.
- 00:03:24.450 --> 00:03:26.953
- In the world, that's what they say, but money does not
- 00:03:26.953 --> 00:03:30.156
- Define prosperity.
- 00:03:30.156 --> 00:03:31.557
- Prosperity is wholeness.
- 00:03:31.557 --> 00:03:33.693
- It means to be whole.
- 00:03:33.693 --> 00:03:35.228
- And jesus came so you can be whole by accepting his finished
- 00:03:35.228 --> 00:03:38.898
- Works where there's nothing missing or nothing broken.
- 00:03:38.898 --> 00:03:42.068
- Now the same thing is true about you don't have money, okay?
- 00:03:42.068 --> 00:03:46.572
- And how does that affect all other areas?
- 00:03:46.572 --> 00:03:49.342
- It affects all other areas.
- 00:03:49.342 --> 00:03:50.843
- You don't have health, that affects all other areas.
- 00:03:50.843 --> 00:03:55.181
- You're still dwelling in insecurity or shame, that
- 00:03:55.181 --> 00:03:58.718
- Affects all other areas.
- 00:03:58.718 --> 00:04:00.920
- All of the pieces of the pie have got to be put together.
- 00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:04.857
- Put my pie up right quick guys.
- 00:04:04.857 --> 00:04:06.659
- I'm going to eat that thing one day.
- 00:04:06.659 --> 00:04:08.027
- Put my pie up right quick.
- 00:04:08.027 --> 00:04:09.896
- All areas--the pie.
- 00:04:09.896 --> 00:04:13.466
- That looked like a pie.
- 00:04:13.466 --> 00:04:15.068
- That don't look like no pie.
- 00:04:15.068 --> 00:04:16.869
- Okay, my pie, you got my pie back there?
- 00:04:16.869 --> 00:04:19.639
- Keep my pie back there until i get out of the series.
- 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.008
- There go my pie right here.
- 00:04:22.008 --> 00:04:23.376
- There you go. there go my pie.
- 00:04:23.376 --> 00:04:25.244
- There go my pie.
- 00:04:25.244 --> 00:04:26.579
- So, this is wholeness.
- 00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:28.281
- You're whole when you--when your finances are good, your health
- 00:04:28.281 --> 00:04:31.884
- Is good, your joy is good, your security is good, your purpose
- 00:04:31.884 --> 00:04:35.355
- Is good, your peace, your identity, your relationships.
- 00:04:35.355 --> 00:04:38.358
- Now that's whole.
- 00:04:38.358 --> 00:04:39.692
- That's whole.
- 00:04:39.692 --> 00:04:41.060
- But even if you don't have finances, health ain't going to
- 00:04:41.060 --> 00:04:43.896
- Be good, joy ain't going to be--you ain't got no joy,
- 00:04:43.896 --> 00:04:45.798
- You're broke.
- 00:04:45.798 --> 00:04:47.166
- Security ain't going to be perfect.
- 00:04:47.166 --> 00:04:48.501
- All of that's affected.
- 00:04:48.501 --> 00:04:49.869
- Or you have finances but no health, all that affected.
- 00:04:49.869 --> 00:04:51.871
- Or you have finances and your health, but you ain't got
- 00:04:51.871 --> 00:04:54.273
- No joy.
- 00:04:54.273 --> 00:04:55.641
- See, all it's going to affect-- you ain't got no joy, it's going
- 00:04:55.641 --> 00:04:57.377
- To affect your health, then you ain't going to do anything about
- 00:04:57.377 --> 00:04:58.978
- It 'cause you ain't got no finances.
- 00:04:58.978 --> 00:05:00.313
- All of that, it's the--it's wholeness.
- 00:05:00.313 --> 00:05:03.116
- Nothing missing and nothing broke.
- 00:05:03.116 --> 00:05:05.084
- That's prosperity.
- 00:05:05.084 --> 00:05:07.053
- But the church has defined it and i did too at the time.
- 00:05:07.053 --> 00:05:12.959
- Thank god i got saved.
- 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:18.264
- I understood more. i kept seeking.
- 00:05:18.264 --> 00:05:19.766
- I continued to be a student of god and i found out that your
- 00:05:19.766 --> 00:05:24.871
- Financial status doesn't define your holiness status.
- 00:05:24.871 --> 00:05:28.441
- I mean, you're not more pure because you have money.
- 00:05:28.441 --> 00:05:31.844
- And somebody else is less pure because they don't have as much
- 00:05:31.844 --> 00:05:34.547
- As you have.
- 00:05:34.547 --> 00:05:35.982
- We got--i got to do everything i can to get that out of your
- 00:05:35.982 --> 00:05:38.851
- Head, okay?
- 00:05:38.851 --> 00:05:40.753
- Because you'll look at people and then you'll want to do
- 00:05:40.753 --> 00:05:43.122
- Something at church and then you want to increase your giving
- 00:05:43.122 --> 00:05:45.224
- Because actually you're in a transactional relationship.
- 00:05:45.224 --> 00:05:48.161
- "i'm going to give more so i can get more money."
- 00:05:48.161 --> 00:05:50.096
- It's not about the relationship with god anymore, it's about
- 00:05:50.096 --> 00:05:52.799
- Just the transaction, okay?
- 00:05:52.799 --> 00:05:55.001
- And then you start getting bits and pieces of the material world
- 00:05:55.001 --> 00:05:58.171
- Coming into your life and you think you're prosperous, but
- 00:05:58.171 --> 00:06:00.673
- You're sad, don't nobody want to be with you, you're intolerable,
- 00:06:00.673 --> 00:06:04.477
- Can't nobody stand you.
- 00:06:04.477 --> 00:06:05.845
- You got a $3000 suit and it's sharp, but ain't nobody telling
- 00:06:05.845 --> 00:06:09.315
- You you're sharp.
- 00:06:09.315 --> 00:06:10.683
- You're riding in a half a million dollar car and doesn't
- 00:06:10.683 --> 00:06:13.019
- Nobody want to ride with you.
- 00:06:13.019 --> 00:06:14.854
- You go to--you go everything by yourself because that's
- 00:06:14.854 --> 00:06:17.790
- Not whole.
- 00:06:17.790 --> 00:06:21.861
- Prosperity is wholeness.
- 00:06:21.861 --> 00:06:23.930
- Now, let's get into this today.
- 00:06:23.930 --> 00:06:26.265
- This is going to be really, really good because what we got
- 00:06:26.265 --> 00:06:28.801
- To understand, we got to discover our purpose.
- 00:06:28.801 --> 00:06:32.271
- You've got to discover your purpose and the will of god for
- 00:06:32.271 --> 00:06:34.207
- Your life.
- 00:06:34.207 --> 00:06:35.575
- You're here for a reason.
- 00:06:35.575 --> 00:06:37.109
- You are alive for a purpose.
- 00:06:37.109 --> 00:06:40.713
- And we've been trying to find our purpose the wrong way.
- 00:06:40.713 --> 00:06:44.917
- And we've not understood what he was saying here, but in verse 39
- 00:06:44.917 --> 00:06:49.255
- He says--in verse 39, verse 2, he says, "and the lord was with
- 00:06:49.255 --> 00:06:52.959
- Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of
- 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:58.297
- His master the egyptian."
- 00:06:58.297 --> 00:06:59.832
- Now look at that same verse in the amplified.
- 00:06:59.832 --> 00:07:02.935
- Because again, a lot of people read this, "the lord was with
- 00:07:02.935 --> 00:07:06.005
- Joseph, he was prosperous," and they say, "well, he had money."
- 00:07:06.005 --> 00:07:09.475
- He was a slave, he had nothing.
- 00:07:09.475 --> 00:07:12.144
- He was a slave.
- 00:07:12.144 --> 00:07:13.513
- He had no money, he had no house, he owned nothing and the
- 00:07:13.513 --> 00:07:18.351
- Bible still said that he was prosperous.
- 00:07:18.351 --> 00:07:19.986
- I think i closed last week with the presence of god is
- 00:07:19.986 --> 00:07:24.123
- Our prosperity.
- 00:07:24.123 --> 00:07:26.492
- Say that, "the presence of god is my prosperity."
- 00:07:26.492 --> 00:07:30.997
- Because his presence is going to make sure that i'm whole, right?
- 00:07:30.997 --> 00:07:34.000
- He says, "but the lord was with joseph, and [though a slave]
- 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.404
- Was a successful and prosperous man."
- 00:07:38.404 --> 00:07:43.109
- So, when that word you see in the bible is used--when it's
- 00:07:43.109 --> 00:07:47.313
- Used as prosperity, it's talking about successful.
- 00:07:47.313 --> 00:07:51.183
- So, i want to talk to you about grace-based success.
- 00:07:51.183 --> 00:07:54.754
- Grace-based success or grace-based prosperity, but it's
- 00:07:54.754 --> 00:07:58.891
- Talking about grace-based success.
- 00:07:58.891 --> 00:08:00.793
- So, how does one determine success?
- 00:08:00.793 --> 00:08:04.163
- I mean, are you successful because you've got big house,
- 00:08:04.163 --> 00:08:06.832
- Lots of money, and fame?
- 00:08:06.832 --> 00:08:09.135
- Is that successful because you're well known?
- 00:08:09.135 --> 00:08:12.038
- Is that successful?
- 00:08:12.038 --> 00:08:14.307
- What is that?
- 00:08:14.307 --> 00:08:15.875
- And so, success under the new covenant is what we want to talk
- 00:08:15.875 --> 00:08:19.278
- About today.
- 00:08:19.278 --> 00:08:20.613
- Success under the new covenant of grace.
- 00:08:20.613 --> 00:08:23.316
- Success under the new covenant of grace is not defined by
- 00:08:23.316 --> 00:08:27.553
- External achievements.
- 00:08:27.553 --> 00:08:31.123
- You don't define success under grace by external achievements.
- 00:08:31.123 --> 00:08:38.531
- You don't define success under grace by your accolades.
- 00:08:38.531 --> 00:08:44.303
- You don't define success under the grace by your comparisons.
- 00:08:44.303 --> 00:08:50.576
- You must be more successful than this person because--that's not
- 00:08:50.576 --> 00:08:53.646
- How you define success.
- 00:08:53.646 --> 00:08:55.915
- Success under grace is rooted in wholeness, it is rooted in
- 00:08:55.915 --> 00:09:02.855
- Identity, your true identity, and it is rooted in your
- 00:09:02.855 --> 00:09:07.360
- Alignment with god's purpose.
- 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.395
- Three things that will help you to define success under grace,
- 00:09:09.395 --> 00:09:13.899
- Wholeness, nothing missing and nothing broken.
- 00:09:13.899 --> 00:09:17.603
- Number two, your identity.
- 00:09:17.603 --> 00:09:19.672
- Knowing who you are in christ.
- 00:09:19.672 --> 00:09:21.641
- Knowing that i am righteous, i am forgiven, i am one with
- 00:09:21.641 --> 00:09:25.745
- Christ, i'm complete in christ, i'm seated with him.
- 00:09:25.745 --> 00:09:29.582
- Knowing that i resemble christ.
- 00:09:29.582 --> 00:09:32.785
- And when he looks at me he sees himself, when i look at him i
- 00:09:32.785 --> 00:09:35.888
- See myself.
- 00:09:35.888 --> 00:09:37.590
- Amen.
- 00:09:37.590 --> 00:09:38.924
- And then number three, your aligning or your alignment with
- 00:09:38.924 --> 00:09:42.695
- God's purpose.
- 00:09:42.695 --> 00:09:44.263
- And i want to spend a little time with that, aligning with
- 00:09:44.263 --> 00:09:46.932
- God's purpose.
- 00:09:46.932 --> 00:09:48.734
- God did not allow you to be here without a purpose.
- 00:09:48.734 --> 00:09:52.571
- God did not allow you to be here without there's a will of god
- 00:09:52.571 --> 00:09:57.243
- For your life.
- 00:09:57.243 --> 00:09:58.611
- There's something you're supposed to do.
- 00:09:58.611 --> 00:10:00.346
- And a lot of times we struggle because we're on the wrong path
- 00:10:00.346 --> 00:10:03.282
- Trying to do what we see people doing.
- 00:10:03.282 --> 00:10:05.718
- Comparing ourselves with folks and then we say, "well if they
- 00:10:05.718 --> 00:10:09.155
- Can do it, i can too."
- 00:10:09.155 --> 00:10:10.756
- That's not the issue.
- 00:10:10.756 --> 00:10:12.124
- It's not, "if they can do it i can too," the issue is what
- 00:10:12.124 --> 00:10:15.428
- They're doing may not be what i'm supposed to be doing, okay?
- 00:10:15.428 --> 00:10:23.035
- And so, wholeness, identity and your alignment, how are you
- 00:10:23.035 --> 00:10:28.040
- Aligning with god's purpose?
- 00:10:28.040 --> 00:10:30.543
- And that--all three of those will flow from your union
- 00:10:30.543 --> 00:10:34.246
- With christ.
- 00:10:34.246 --> 00:10:35.815
- All three of the above.
- 00:10:35.815 --> 00:10:37.149
- The wholeness part flows from your union with christ.
- 00:10:37.149 --> 00:10:40.119
- Please listen to me.
- 00:10:40.119 --> 00:10:41.487
- Your union with christ--from that union with christ,
- 00:10:41.487 --> 00:10:45.057
- Wholeness will come.
- 00:10:45.057 --> 00:10:46.392
- From that union with christ, your true identity
- 00:10:46.392 --> 00:10:49.095
- Is recognized.
- 00:10:49.095 --> 00:10:50.429
- From that union with christ, you start aligning with the purpose
- 00:10:50.429 --> 00:10:54.734
- For your life.
- 00:10:54.734 --> 00:10:56.068
- You--listen, christianity is about a union with christ.
- 00:10:56.068 --> 00:11:01.407
- Christianity is not about a t-shirt that says, "i'm
- 00:11:01.407 --> 00:11:04.844
- A christian."
- 00:11:04.844 --> 00:11:06.212
- Christianity is a union with christ, learning how to develop
- 00:11:06.212 --> 00:11:11.183
- An intimate relationship.
- 00:11:11.183 --> 00:11:12.918
- First base, i've got to be in this because of
- 00:11:12.918 --> 00:11:15.821
- The relationship.
- 00:11:15.821 --> 00:11:17.289
- I am in this, i am a follower of christ because i want him.
- 00:11:17.289 --> 00:11:22.294
- Nothing else. i want him.
- 00:11:22.294 --> 00:11:23.996
- That's got to be settled first.
- 00:11:23.996 --> 00:11:25.364
- It can't be, "i want him to get this," or, "i want him to do
- 00:11:25.364 --> 00:11:28.768
- This," or, "i want him for more of this."
- 00:11:28.768 --> 00:11:31.036
- I want him and nothing else.
- 00:11:31.036 --> 00:11:35.541
- Okay, so that's a problem with a lot of christians because now we
- 00:11:35.541 --> 00:11:37.610
- Discover you really didn't want him for him.
- 00:11:37.610 --> 00:11:41.914
- That's the issue you have to deal with.
- 00:11:41.914 --> 00:11:43.716
- Do you want him?
- 00:11:43.716 --> 00:11:45.050
- What is your motive for wanting him?
- 00:11:45.050 --> 00:11:48.254
- It can't even be, "i want him so i can feel better."
- 00:11:48.254 --> 00:11:51.624
- You're going to feel better, just want him.
- 00:11:51.624 --> 00:11:54.627
- "well, i want him and maybe i can find my mate."
- 00:11:54.627 --> 00:11:57.229
- Well, you'll find a mate, just want him.
- 00:11:57.229 --> 00:11:59.598
- You got to eliminate all the external reasons for why you are
- 00:11:59.598 --> 00:12:03.402
- A born again christian and it's got to be jesus.
- 00:12:03.402 --> 00:12:09.375
- Isn't that interesting?
- 00:12:09.375 --> 00:12:12.077
- "but i don't know if i want jesus.
- 00:12:12.077 --> 00:12:13.913
- I mean--"
- 00:12:13.913 --> 00:12:15.247
- What are we doing?
- 00:12:15.247 --> 00:12:16.882
- What are we doing?
- 00:12:16.882 --> 00:12:18.517
- And i realized that, folks, please understand i feel like
- 00:12:18.517 --> 00:12:20.953
- I'm in like a third stage of my life in ministry.
- 00:12:20.953 --> 00:12:24.456
- When i was preaching the law and i was preaching emotionally and
- 00:12:24.456 --> 00:12:29.562
- I was preaching stuff that people knew, i drew stadium,
- 00:12:29.562 --> 00:12:35.568
- Basketball arena crowds.
- 00:12:35.568 --> 00:12:39.038
- As soon as i started doing this under grace,
- 00:12:39.038 --> 00:12:44.510
- "uh, what happened to creflo?"
- 00:12:44.510 --> 00:12:48.514
- He's no longer blind, that's what happened to him.
- 00:12:48.514 --> 00:12:52.852
- He can see.
- 00:12:52.852 --> 00:12:54.220
- He can see.
- 00:12:56.155 --> 00:12:57.523
- And i'm determined to teach as many people who will listen.
- 00:12:57.523 --> 00:13:00.759
- I'm determined to tell as many people who will hear it.
- 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:04.530
- And i ain't going to be mad at nobody because it's just not
- 00:13:04.530 --> 00:13:07.299
- Worth it.
- 00:13:07.299 --> 00:13:08.634
- It's not--the little stuff you deal with, you know, "i'm mad at
- 00:13:08.634 --> 00:13:10.603
- You because you didn't speak to me, i'm mad at you because i
- 00:13:10.603 --> 00:13:12.338
- Heard you talking about me.
- 00:13:12.338 --> 00:13:13.672
- I'm mad at you because, you know, you're doing better
- 00:13:13.672 --> 00:13:15.374
- Than me.
- 00:13:15.374 --> 00:13:16.742
- I'm mad--" ain't nobody got time for all that 'cause get
- 00:13:16.742 --> 00:13:18.244
- Sick and all of that don't even matter no more.
- 00:13:18.244 --> 00:13:21.780
- Let something happen to your health and you'll be surprised
- 00:13:21.780 --> 00:13:23.883
- How small those other matters are.
- 00:13:23.883 --> 00:13:27.586
- We need to stop that stuff.
- 00:13:27.586 --> 00:13:29.054
- You're talking about acting like the world?
- 00:13:29.054 --> 00:13:30.890
- That's because you're spending so much time with them.
- 00:13:30.890 --> 00:13:39.498
- Oh, this gonna be a catholic church today, ain't it?
- 00:13:39.498 --> 00:13:45.404
- All right, so i'm going to show you five definitions of what i
- 00:13:45.404 --> 00:13:50.009
- Believe it means to be successful.
- 00:13:50.009 --> 00:13:52.778
- Number one, success, as i said before, is wholeness in christ.
- 00:13:52.778 --> 00:13:59.752
- Success or prosperity is defined as wholeness, and that wholeness
- 00:13:59.752 --> 00:14:05.224
- Is in christ.
- 00:14:05.224 --> 00:14:06.859
- Wholeness is the essence of salvation.
- 00:14:06.859 --> 00:14:09.728
- Your whole spirit, you remember that?
- 00:14:09.728 --> 00:14:11.764
- Your whole soul, your whole body.
- 00:14:11.764 --> 00:14:15.935
- That means nothing missing in your spirit, nothing missing in
- 00:14:15.935 --> 00:14:20.039
- Your soul, your emotions, your will.
- 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:23.742
- Nothing missing in your physical body including healing.
- 00:14:23.742 --> 00:14:27.046
- I mean 3 john says, "i wish above all things that you may
- 00:14:27.046 --> 00:14:29.648
- Prosper and be in health."
- 00:14:29.648 --> 00:14:31.850
- Health is a part of that wholeness.
- 00:14:31.850 --> 00:14:34.320
- He wants you whole, nothing missing and nothing broken in
- 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.456
- Your life.
- 00:14:37.456 --> 00:14:38.791
- So, under grace you're not striving to become something,
- 00:14:38.791 --> 00:14:43.529
- You're complete in him.
- 00:14:43.529 --> 00:14:46.332
- You're not striving to become complete in him, you are already
- 00:14:46.332 --> 00:14:51.403
- Complete in him.
- 00:14:51.403 --> 00:14:53.172
- So, what we have done in church is we keep striving and working
- 00:14:53.172 --> 00:14:56.575
- Hard to get something that's already been made available.
- 00:14:56.575 --> 00:15:00.412
- Say this out loud, "i am complete in jesus."
- 00:15:00.412 --> 00:15:04.984
- So i'm not striving to become complete.
- 00:15:04.984 --> 00:15:08.253
- I don't want you walking around--walking out of here
- 00:15:08.253 --> 00:15:10.289
- Today with a list of this is what you're going to do to
- 00:15:10.289 --> 00:15:12.324
- Be complete.
- 00:15:12.324 --> 00:15:14.026
- I'm asking you to embrace it, receive it, glory to god, accept
- 00:15:14.026 --> 00:15:19.732
- It, and rest in it.
- 00:15:19.732 --> 00:15:22.134
- I'm asking you to walk out of here today, "i'm complete."
- 00:15:22.134 --> 00:15:25.404
- And the rest of your body is like trying to tell you
- 00:15:25.404 --> 00:15:27.406
- You're not.
- 00:15:27.406 --> 00:15:28.774
- You're like, "i done told you, i'm complete."
- 00:15:28.774 --> 00:15:31.443
- And something crazy happens, "i'm complete."
- 00:15:31.443 --> 00:15:33.846
- You're really going to understand that when you believe
- 00:15:33.846 --> 00:15:36.015
- Something, when the contrary happens or when the
- 00:15:36.015 --> 00:15:38.751
- Contradiction hits you, will you still remain the same?
- 00:15:38.751 --> 00:15:44.023
- When trouble shows up, are you still complete in him or
- 00:15:44.023 --> 00:15:46.859
- Only--are you only complete in him when you're at church when
- 00:15:46.859 --> 00:15:49.661
- I'm saying, "say out loud with me, 'i'm complete in him'"?
- 00:15:49.661 --> 00:15:55.701
- Look at colossians chapter 2:10.
- 00:15:55.701 --> 00:15:58.670
- Colossians 2:10 in the king james bible.
- 00:15:58.670 --> 00:16:01.807
- He says, "and you are complete in him."
- 00:16:01.807 --> 00:16:05.010
- I mean, you know, so, you know, that's why i'm saying get in the
- 00:16:05.010 --> 00:16:07.980
- Word so you can find out what it says about you.
- 00:16:07.980 --> 00:16:10.682
- He says, "and you are complete in him, you're complete in the
- 00:16:10.682 --> 00:16:14.386
- One which is the head of all principalities and power."
- 00:16:14.386 --> 00:16:18.824
- You are complete in the one who's the head of all
- 00:16:18.824 --> 00:16:22.027
- Principality and power.
- 00:16:22.027 --> 00:16:23.495
- Any demon or demonic force that comes your way, what are you
- 00:16:23.495 --> 00:16:27.032
- Being scared for?
- 00:16:27.032 --> 00:16:28.367
- You're complete in jesus who's the head of all principality
- 00:16:28.367 --> 00:16:32.204
- And power.
- 00:16:32.204 --> 00:16:33.539
- You need to laugh at the devil if he would dare show up trying
- 00:16:33.539 --> 00:16:36.408
- To manifest anything around you, you're like, "boy, please.
- 00:16:36.408 --> 00:16:40.279
- Well, you must have forgotten who i was.
- 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:44.383
- I know who i am."
- 00:16:44.383 --> 00:16:45.851
- He just wants to make sure you don't know who you are.
- 00:16:45.851 --> 00:16:50.255
- And that's success when you know you're complete in him.
- 00:16:50.255 --> 00:16:53.559
- Success begins by living from wholeness, not living
- 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:58.864
- For wholeness.
- 00:16:58.864 --> 00:17:01.467
- I live from wholeness.
- 00:17:01.467 --> 00:17:03.368
- I live from the fact that i'm already whole.
- 00:17:03.368 --> 00:17:05.604
- I'm already complete in him.
- 00:17:05.604 --> 00:17:07.606
- I am righteous, i'm redeemed, i'm forgiven, i'm complete
- 00:17:07.606 --> 00:17:11.410
- In him.
- 00:17:11.410 --> 00:17:12.744
- I live from that.
- 00:17:12.744 --> 00:17:14.113
- It's like, "okay, i've discovered who i am, now i'm
- 00:17:14.113 --> 00:17:16.448
- Going to live from that."
- 00:17:16.448 --> 00:17:18.383
- So, every attack the devil does is to try to attack
- 00:17:18.383 --> 00:17:21.320
- Your identity.
- 00:17:21.320 --> 00:17:22.654
- We talked this wednesday--this past wednesday about shame and
- 00:17:22.654 --> 00:17:25.924
- How shame is a weapon satan uses to get you to relinquish your
- 00:17:25.924 --> 00:17:30.929
- True identity or no longer believe that you are who the
- 00:17:30.929 --> 00:17:33.732
- Bible says you are.
- 00:17:33.732 --> 00:17:35.267
- See, guilt is, you know, you might be guilty or it's feeling
- 00:17:35.267 --> 00:17:38.937
- Bad about what you've done, but shame is feeling bad about who
- 00:17:38.937 --> 00:17:42.741
- You are.
- 00:17:42.741 --> 00:17:44.543
- Shame always attacks your identity.
- 00:17:44.543 --> 00:17:47.412
- Shame wants to get to the point where, "oh it's not that--oh, i
- 00:17:47.412 --> 00:17:50.816
- Made a mistake," but now shame wants to say you are a mistake.
- 00:17:50.816 --> 00:17:55.521
- It's always attacking you.
- 00:17:55.521 --> 00:17:57.289
- It's attacking your identity.
- 00:17:57.289 --> 00:17:58.624
- And you got to ask the question, "why is the devil always trying
- 00:17:58.624 --> 00:18:02.728
- To get me to change my mind about who i am based on who
- 00:18:02.728 --> 00:18:07.199
- Jesus says i am?"
- 00:18:07.199 --> 00:18:09.735
- Why did he attack jesus in the wilderness and said, "if thou be
- 00:18:09.735 --> 00:18:12.971
- The son of god, turn these stones into bread"?
- 00:18:12.971 --> 00:18:15.807
- Jesus said, "i ain't doing that because if i do that, it would
- 00:18:15.807 --> 00:18:18.377
- Show that i doubt who i am.
- 00:18:18.377 --> 00:18:21.180
- I ain't doing that.
- 00:18:21.180 --> 00:18:22.514
- I'm grown.
- 00:18:22.514 --> 00:18:23.882
- I don't need to prove nothing to you."
- 00:18:23.882 --> 00:18:26.018
- And that's another thing we deal with, approval addiction.
- 00:18:26.018 --> 00:18:28.253
- Always feeling like we got to approve--get somebody's approval
- 00:18:28.253 --> 00:18:32.824
- Of who we are, what we wear, what we do.
- 00:18:32.824 --> 00:18:36.795
- And then if something goes wrong and we get embarrassed about
- 00:18:36.795 --> 00:18:39.932
- Something that happened, something we did, we get
- 00:18:39.932 --> 00:18:42.100
- Embarrassed, then this is what shame would do, shame will send
- 00:18:42.100 --> 00:18:46.138
- You into hiding.
- 00:18:46.138 --> 00:18:48.607
- Adam and eve were not ashamed before the garden, but then when
- 00:18:48.607 --> 00:18:51.777
- They got in the garden and ate of the fruit, then their eyes
- 00:18:51.777 --> 00:18:54.913
- Were open and they were ashamed and hid themselves.
- 00:18:54.913 --> 00:18:59.218
- See, satan does not want you to come out of hiding, he wants you
- 00:18:59.218 --> 00:19:03.455
- To hide yourself.
- 00:19:03.455 --> 00:19:04.856
- But, honey, when you make your mind up, "no, no, no, no, i'm
- 00:19:04.856 --> 00:19:07.359
- Not walking in shame, i'm going to walk in who i am," you come
- 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.462
- Out of hiding and you say, "i am the righteousness of god.
- 00:19:10.462 --> 00:19:13.966
- I am delivered.
- 00:19:13.966 --> 00:19:15.300
- I am forgiven.
- 00:19:15.300 --> 00:19:16.668
- I am everything jesus says i am."
- 00:19:16.668 --> 00:19:18.637
- But we've been in hiding.
- 00:19:18.637 --> 00:19:20.005
- We've been hiding behind religion.
- 00:19:20.005 --> 00:19:25.577
- Okay, let me calm down just a tad.
- 00:19:25.577 --> 00:19:30.015
- All right, so success is wholeness in christ, number one.
- 00:19:30.015 --> 00:19:33.118
- Number two, and here's where i want to spend a little time.
- 00:19:33.118 --> 00:19:35.420
- Success is discovering, i said discovering, and walking in
- 00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:41.293
- God's purpose for you.
- 00:19:41.293 --> 00:19:43.996
- That's success.
- 00:19:43.996 --> 00:19:46.465
- Somebody says, "well, are you successful?"
- 00:19:46.465 --> 00:19:48.200
- The thing you need to ask yourself, "well, have i
- 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:50.902
- Discovered god's purpose for my life?"
- 00:19:50.902 --> 00:19:55.007
- If you have not and if you don't discover god's purpose for your
- 00:19:55.007 --> 00:19:57.743
- Life, you're not successful.
- 00:19:57.743 --> 00:20:00.979
- I'm successful because i found out what god wants me to do.
- 00:20:00.979 --> 00:20:05.250
- Oh, what a joy.
- 00:20:05.250 --> 00:20:07.619
- In my early twenties, i discovered the purpose for my
- 00:20:07.619 --> 00:20:10.656
- Life and i made god a promise.
- 00:20:10.656 --> 00:20:13.525
- I said, "i won't quit."
- 00:20:13.525 --> 00:20:15.827
- Now, i've wanted to quit a lot of times.
- 00:20:15.827 --> 00:20:18.830
- I remember one wednesday night bible study, i walked in there
- 00:20:18.830 --> 00:20:22.668
- And i don't know what, i was just tired.
- 00:20:22.668 --> 00:20:25.837
- I said, "i quit and i walked out."
- 00:20:25.837 --> 00:20:28.740
- Taffi was so cool, she says, "okay, baby.
- 00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:32.411
- What are you getting ready to do?"
- 00:20:32.411 --> 00:20:33.745
- I says, "well, i quit, so i'm going to go to the movie and
- 00:20:33.745 --> 00:20:36.281
- See' batman.'"
- 00:20:36.281 --> 00:20:39.785
- She said, "okay, i'll go to the movie with you.
- 00:20:39.785 --> 00:20:42.721
- I just wanna--i want you to think about something.
- 00:20:42.721 --> 00:20:45.724
- The people you were talking about, they're not here.
- 00:20:45.724 --> 00:20:49.795
- And you're holding everybody who's here responsible for what
- 00:20:49.795 --> 00:20:53.999
- Somebody's not doing."
- 00:20:53.999 --> 00:20:57.069
- I said, "okay."
- 00:20:57.069 --> 00:21:00.339
- I went back in and everybody was on the floor praying
- 00:21:00.339 --> 00:21:02.874
- In tongues...
- 00:21:02.874 --> 00:21:07.946
- Yeah, i wanted to quit a lot of times, i'm just not going to.
- 00:21:07.946 --> 00:21:12.217
- I want to quit--i wanted to quit every time some slanderous story
- 00:21:12.217 --> 00:21:16.154
- Came on the news worldwide.
- 00:21:16.154 --> 00:21:18.290
- I ain't talking about no youtube, i mean when you get
- 00:21:18.290 --> 00:21:19.991
- Slandered it's--mine was worldwide tv.
- 00:21:19.991 --> 00:21:27.366
- And i'm like, "i don't need this."
- 00:21:27.366 --> 00:21:30.168
- But i can remember i promised god i wasn't gonna quit, okay?
- 00:21:30.168 --> 00:21:36.775
- Why?
- 00:21:36.775 --> 00:21:38.243
- Because the devil wants you to quit on your purpose.
- 00:21:38.243 --> 00:21:44.416
- It's your purpose.
- 00:21:44.416 --> 00:21:47.352
- And now listen to me carefully.
- 00:21:47.352 --> 00:21:48.720
