  • Creflo: the devil has got this thing all wrapped up in church
  • 00:01:57.230 --> 00:02:00.667
  • And you can't hardly, you can't get free because you won't
  • 00:02:00.667 --> 00:02:03.436
  • Accept your identity.
  • 00:02:03.436 --> 00:02:07.307
  • And the day you accept your identity, the behavior will
  • 00:02:07.307 --> 00:02:10.476
  • Follow suit.
  • 00:02:10.476 --> 00:02:15.848
  • But you're still working, sweating, trying to be right.
  • 00:02:15.848 --> 00:02:23.690
  • Some people said, "let me go, let me go to christmas service
  • 00:02:23.690 --> 00:02:26.159
  • This morning.
  • 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:27.527
  • Maybe god will do a little something special for me
  • 00:02:27.527 --> 00:02:29.629
  • This week."
  • 00:02:29.629 --> 00:02:33.533
  • He's already done something special.
  • 00:02:33.533 --> 00:02:35.168
  • He gave us jesus and he gave us this magnificent gift
  • 00:02:35.168 --> 00:02:40.006
  • Called righteousness.
  • 00:02:40.006 --> 00:02:41.975
  • My god, i feel like running right now, my goodness.
  • 00:02:41.975 --> 00:02:47.213
  • I remember the baptist church, "won't he do it?"
  • 00:02:47.213 --> 00:02:53.720
  • Let me show you the scripture right quick.
  • 00:02:53.720 --> 00:02:55.555
  • Hebrews chapter 9:28 in the nlt.
  • 00:02:55.555 --> 00:03:00.893
  • Hebrew 9:28 in the nlt.
  • 00:03:00.893 --> 00:03:02.762
  • These scriptures are all in the new testament.
  • 00:03:02.762 --> 00:03:04.864
  • So if you're gonna hang on to the thing we've gotten
  • 00:03:04.864 --> 00:03:07.066
  • Traditionally, then what are you gonna do with these scriptures?
  • 00:03:07.066 --> 00:03:12.438
  • Especially this one.
  • 00:03:12.438 --> 00:03:13.806
  • So also christ was offered.
  • 00:03:13.806 --> 00:03:17.277
  • How many times was he offered?
  • 00:03:17.277 --> 00:03:19.545
  • Once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of
  • 00:03:19.545 --> 00:03:25.218
  • Many people.
  • 00:03:25.218 --> 00:03:28.221
  • See, we have the idea that god is forgiving us progressively.
  • 00:03:28.221 --> 00:03:33.092
  • You have the idea when you wake up this morning, if i see the
  • 00:03:33.092 --> 00:03:35.228
  • Day that, "oh god forgive me."
  • 00:03:35.228 --> 00:03:36.763
  • And then he'll forgive you as you sin.
  • 00:03:36.763 --> 00:03:40.500
  • That just wouldn't be wise, because that means jesus have to
  • 00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:42.568
  • Just stay on the cross, right there.
  • 00:03:42.568 --> 00:03:44.437
  • We can go to israel, he's still on the cross.
  • 00:03:44.437 --> 00:03:48.141
  • He don't even have a second
  • 00:03:48.141 --> 00:03:49.509
  • He can come down because it's sin going on every second.
  • 00:03:49.509 --> 00:03:58.918
  • So what he did was he says, "i'm gonna give you a one time
  • 00:03:58.918 --> 00:04:03.089
  • Sacrifice that's gonna cover you from the time you get born again
  • 00:04:03.089 --> 00:04:09.629
  • Until the time i see you."
  • 00:04:09.629 --> 00:04:12.765
  • It was like an insurance policy that's been paid up.
  • 00:04:12.765 --> 00:04:17.704
  • "i got you.
  • 00:04:17.704 --> 00:04:19.205
  • And while you're on the journey, i'm gonna change you with
  • 00:04:19.205 --> 00:04:22.508
  • My goodness.
  • 00:04:22.508 --> 00:04:23.843
  • I'm gonna be so good to you.
  • 00:04:23.843 --> 00:04:25.211
  • It's gonna turn you away from what you thought you used
  • 00:04:25.211 --> 00:04:29.115
  • To like."
  • 00:04:29.115 --> 00:04:32.685
  • "so also christ was offered once for all times as a sacrifice
  • 00:04:32.685 --> 00:04:40.727
  • To--" to what?
  • 00:04:40.727 --> 00:04:42.061
  • Take away the sins of many people.
  • 00:04:42.061 --> 00:04:46.566
  • He will come again.
  • 00:04:46.566 --> 00:04:49.168
  • How many of you--i believe jesus is coming again?
  • 00:04:49.168 --> 00:04:52.171
  • "he will come again not to deal with our sins."
  • 00:04:52.171 --> 00:04:57.810
  • Stop, stop all my life.
  • 00:04:57.810 --> 00:05:01.814
  • They told me jesus is gonna come.
  • 00:05:01.814 --> 00:05:03.249
  • He can--the santa claus.
  • 00:05:03.249 --> 00:05:04.650
  • You know the the santa claus jesus.
  • 00:05:04.650 --> 00:05:06.419
  • You better watch out.
  • 00:05:06.419 --> 00:05:07.754
  • You better not cry, you better not pout, you--
  • 00:05:07.754 --> 00:05:11.457
  • I'm telling you why.
  • 00:05:11.457 --> 00:05:13.726
  • Jesus, he coming to town.
  • 00:05:13.726 --> 00:05:15.428
  • ♪ he sees you when you sleepy. ♪
  • 00:05:15.428 --> 00:05:20.700
  • ♪ he knows when you awake. ♪
  • 00:05:20.700 --> 00:05:24.270
  • Here comes the fear.
  • 00:05:24.270 --> 00:05:25.638
  • ♪ he knows when you've been bad or good. ♪
  • 00:05:25.638 --> 00:05:30.243
  • ♪ so be good for goodness' sake. ♪
  • 00:05:30.243 --> 00:05:36.015
  • ♪ oh, you better watch out. ♪♪
  • 00:05:36.015 --> 00:05:41.387
  • You better watch out.
  • 00:05:41.387 --> 00:05:49.328
  • That's why most folks scared to die.
  • 00:05:49.328 --> 00:05:52.131
  • They're scared to cross over.
  • 00:05:52.131 --> 00:05:55.501
  • That should be a glorious time.
  • 00:05:55.501 --> 00:05:59.672
  • Every time i look at certain scriptures, i'm amazed at how
  • 00:05:59.672 --> 00:06:03.142
  • Much i don't know.
  • 00:06:03.142 --> 00:06:08.514
  • You move out this body and you don't even know you died until
  • 00:06:08.514 --> 00:06:13.419
  • You know you died.
  • 00:06:13.419 --> 00:06:14.787
  • You just, you move over, you move out of the physical realm,
  • 00:06:14.787 --> 00:06:18.591
  • You into the parent of the physical realm.
  • 00:06:18.591 --> 00:06:21.327
  • You're in a spiritual realm and everything in that realm seems
  • 00:06:21.327 --> 00:06:24.130
  • Just--seems just as real as everything in this realm except
  • 00:06:24.130 --> 00:06:27.967
  • You can comprehend it and see it and hear it.
  • 00:06:27.967 --> 00:06:35.675
  • "i'm not coming again to deal with sin, but to bring salvation
  • 00:06:35.675 --> 00:06:42.081
  • To all" who are eagerly waiting for him.
  • 00:06:42.081 --> 00:06:47.186
  • The final salvation, which is the putting on of your
  • 00:06:47.186 --> 00:06:52.358
  • Glorified body.
  • 00:06:52.358 --> 00:06:56.496
  • You finally get your clothes back, adam and eve lost your
  • 00:06:56.496 --> 00:07:00.233
  • Clothes in the garden of eden.
  • 00:07:00.233 --> 00:07:02.368
  • Then that day you finally gonna get your clothes
  • 00:07:02.368 --> 00:07:05.438
  • Back, hallelujah.
  • 00:07:05.438 --> 00:07:13.379
  • The magnificent gift of righteousness.
  • 00:07:13.379 --> 00:07:20.720
  • Wow, jesus never sinned
  • 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:30.763
  • And yet why impute sin on a man who doesn't sin?
  • 00:07:32.431 --> 00:07:42.341
  • We have a forever gift
  • 00:07:43.609 --> 00:07:48.247
  • Of nonimputation of faults or sin.
  • 00:07:48.247 --> 00:07:54.921
  • It is a gift of no charging or crediting to your account
  • 00:07:54.921 --> 00:08:04.163
  • Sin.
  • 00:08:04.163 --> 00:08:09.602
  • You got saved and some angel turned the sin meter off.
  • 00:08:09.602 --> 00:08:19.512
  • Hard to believe because you're sitting there and i'm saying
  • 00:08:19.512 --> 00:08:24.383
  • It's time for it to stop being hard to believe.
  • 00:08:24.383 --> 00:08:32.625
  • It is time for you to believe what he said.
  • 00:08:32.625 --> 00:08:42.668
  • Most people--
  • 00:08:43.569 --> 00:08:45.404
  • So most people say, "well, that's giving you license
  • 00:08:45.404 --> 00:08:47.239
  • To sin."
  • 00:08:47.239 --> 00:08:48.774
  • They gonna go crazy if you tell people that.
  • 00:08:48.774 --> 00:08:52.044
  • Pass it off, you tell people that they're gonna go crazy.
  • 00:08:52.044 --> 00:08:54.146
  • They just go--they're just gonna start doing everything.
  • 00:08:54.146 --> 00:08:57.049
  • No, they don't know truth; that's why they go crazy.
  • 00:08:57.049 --> 00:09:01.787
  • Believe the right things, then you can live the right way.
  • 00:09:01.787 --> 00:09:05.725
  • If you believe the right things, you can live the right way.
  • 00:09:05.725 --> 00:09:10.096
  • The reason why god won't impute your sins to you is because he's
  • 00:09:10.096 --> 00:09:14.166
  • Already imputed your sins on jesus christ.
  • 00:09:14.166 --> 00:09:16.936
  • So that's number one.
  • 00:09:16.936 --> 00:09:18.270
  • If he said that "i have already charged jesus and i have taken
  • 00:09:18.270 --> 00:09:22.375
  • Your sins and placed them on the body of jesus," he will be
  • 00:09:22.375 --> 00:09:25.945
  • Allowed to turn around and charge you after he said that "i
  • 00:09:25.945 --> 00:09:29.115
  • Have placed all of your sins on the body of jesus."
  • 00:09:29.115 --> 00:09:32.051
  • So he's not gonna impute sin to you, but he had to charge sin
  • 00:09:32.051 --> 00:09:36.188
  • To somebody.
  • 00:09:36.188 --> 00:09:37.556
  • Somebody's got to pay for this sin.
  • 00:09:37.556 --> 00:09:39.392
  • And so he said, "i'm gonna put it on jesus and he will become
  • 00:09:39.392 --> 00:09:43.763
  • The payment or the ransom from all of your sins.
  • 00:09:43.763 --> 00:09:47.833
  • So the only way i don't impute sin to you, i got to find
  • 00:09:47.833 --> 00:09:52.138
  • Somebody who gonna pay the bill."
  • 00:09:52.138 --> 00:09:59.445
  • So, you see, if he turns around and imputes the sin on you, then
  • 00:09:59.445 --> 00:10:05.051
  • Jesus wasn't enough to pay the bill.
  • 00:10:05.051 --> 00:10:10.690
  • But since jesus is enough to pay the bill, honey, every time the
  • 00:10:10.690 --> 00:10:16.295
  • Devil comes to try to condemn you, you need to send him
  • 00:10:16.295 --> 00:10:19.465
  • To jesus.
  • 00:10:19.465 --> 00:10:20.800
  • Go talk to jesus, go talk to jesus.
  • 00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:24.170
  • I'm not gonna be walking around condemned.
  • 00:10:24.170 --> 00:10:25.838
  • Go talk to him.
  • 00:10:25.838 --> 00:10:27.206
  • All of my sins have been placed on the body of jesus christ.
  • 00:10:27.206 --> 00:10:31.644
  • So god will never ever, never will he ever never impute sin to
  • 00:10:31.644 --> 00:10:37.083
  • My account to turn the sin meter off, because it's been paid for.
  • 00:10:37.083 --> 00:10:41.954
  • Jesus has taken all of my sin.
  • 00:10:41.954 --> 00:10:49.261
  • David in this passage in the book of romans, he envied us
  • 00:10:49.261 --> 00:10:56.135
  • Because his sins were imputed to him.
  • 00:10:56.135 --> 00:11:00.773
  • Every last one of his sins was-- david was--he was punished.
  • 00:11:00.773 --> 00:11:08.748
  • His sons rebelled against him.
  • 00:11:08.748 --> 00:11:11.517
  • They died.
  • 00:11:11.517 --> 00:11:13.119
  • The kingdom was split.
  • 00:11:13.119 --> 00:11:18.791
  • That ain't us.
  • 00:11:18.791 --> 00:11:20.159
  • We're in christ.
  • 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:23.028
  • Now why, why, why talk about this on christmas man?
  • 00:11:23.028 --> 00:11:25.564
  • You be--you were supposed to be talking about, you were supposed
  • 00:11:25.564 --> 00:11:27.933
  • To be talking about mary and jesus and joseph, and i know
  • 00:11:27.933 --> 00:11:32.138
  • Joseph was tripping out when mary came talking about she
  • 00:11:32.138 --> 00:11:34.507
  • Was pregnant.
  • 00:11:34.507 --> 00:11:35.875
  • He said, "well, how you get pregnant?
  • 00:11:35.875 --> 00:11:37.209
  • I know i ain't did nothing."
  • 00:11:37.209 --> 00:11:41.013
  • And then mary said, "it was the spirit."
  • 00:11:41.013 --> 00:11:45.751
  • Now, that wouldn't have worked this day and time.
  • 00:11:45.751 --> 00:11:48.954
  • Mary would have been weeping.
  • 00:11:48.954 --> 00:11:52.758
  • Now, you know that song-- "oh mary, don't you weep."
  • 00:11:52.758 --> 00:12:03.269
  • No, we gotta talk about how to live.
  • 00:12:03.335 --> 00:12:06.939
  • We gotta make this stuff practical.
  • 00:12:06.939 --> 00:12:10.676
  • It's gotta be for everyday life.
  • 00:12:10.676 --> 00:12:12.912
  • We got time to be talking about no favors.
  • 00:12:12.912 --> 00:12:14.680
  • Not to say that that was the favor of the true story i have.
  • 00:12:14.680 --> 00:12:16.816
  • But we need to talk about, you know, what you doing
  • 00:12:16.816 --> 00:12:20.286
  • This christmas?
  • 00:12:20.286 --> 00:12:23.722
  • When are you gonna believe?
  • 00:12:23.722 --> 00:12:26.258
  • Now, here's the statement that got me going down this path.
  • 00:12:26.258 --> 00:12:30.529
  • All the blessings of god will flow in your life when you
  • 00:12:30.529 --> 00:12:38.137
  • Have righteousness.
  • 00:12:38.137 --> 00:12:42.174
  • God declared over abraham, "you're righteous," and then the
  • 00:12:42.174 --> 00:12:45.477
  • Blessings of god just begin to flow in his life.
  • 00:12:45.477 --> 00:12:51.016
  • And the thing about israel, israel had righteousness based
  • 00:12:51.016 --> 00:12:54.286
  • On the blood of the bulls and the goats, but our righteousness
  • 00:12:54.286 --> 00:12:58.557
  • Is based on the eternal sacrifice of jesus.
  • 00:12:58.557 --> 00:13:06.665
  • Now, the question is, when are you going to start
  • 00:13:06.665 --> 00:13:09.168
  • Believing this?
  • 00:13:09.168 --> 00:13:12.738
  • How many more times are you gonna go back and forward,
  • 00:13:12.738 --> 00:13:17.543
  • Believing that you are the righteousness of god?
  • 00:13:17.543 --> 00:13:22.848
  • The day you believe you're the righteousness of god, my warning
  • 00:13:22.848 --> 00:13:26.685
  • To every person out there who does this: never send an evil
  • 00:13:26.685 --> 00:13:31.390
  • Spirit against a christian who believes they're the
  • 00:13:31.390 --> 00:13:34.059
  • Righteousness of god.
  • 00:13:34.059 --> 00:13:37.997
  • You done messed yourself up because you cannot curse what
  • 00:13:37.997 --> 00:13:44.770
  • God has already blessed.
  • 00:13:44.770 --> 00:13:51.043
  • You don't hear me.
  • 00:13:51.043 --> 00:13:55.014
  • God, god saw israel as righteous in the sacrifice, but so did
  • 00:13:55.014 --> 00:14:04.523
  • The enemy.
  • 00:14:04.523 --> 00:14:06.558
  • God saw israel righteous, the devil saw israel righteous.
  • 00:14:06.558 --> 00:14:12.598
  • The problem is israel never saw themselves righteous.
  • 00:14:12.598 --> 00:14:18.070
  • So they continued in sin.
  • 00:14:18.070 --> 00:14:23.075
  • And if you don't see yourself righteous, you gonna continue
  • 00:14:23.075 --> 00:14:26.078
  • In sin.
  • 00:14:26.078 --> 00:14:29.248
  • You're gonna continue just-- you're gonna continue in sin
  • 00:14:29.248 --> 00:14:32.451
  • Because you won't see yourself as righteous.
  • 00:14:32.451 --> 00:14:37.122
  • You got too many voices going through your ear.
  • 00:14:37.122 --> 00:14:45.564
  • You just can't believe that, because somehow you want to
  • 00:14:45.564 --> 00:14:50.769
  • Position yourself as if you contributed to what jesus has
  • 00:14:50.769 --> 00:15:00.579
  • Gifted you with.
  • 00:15:00.579 --> 00:15:03.916
  • You're still trying to pay for what is free.
  • 00:15:03.916 --> 00:15:14.093
  • You're still trying to do it.
  • 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:18.230
  • You're still working hard to try to be righteous with god, but
  • 00:15:18.230 --> 00:15:25.971
  • You're righteous by birth, you're righteous by birth
  • 00:15:25.971 --> 00:15:30.042
  • When you got born again.
  • 00:15:30.042 --> 00:15:32.845
  • Righteous is a term which just simply means "okayness."
  • 00:15:32.845 --> 00:15:41.854
  • "i'm okay," and we are 100% okay with god because of our new
  • 00:15:41.854 --> 00:15:48.627
  • Birth, not because of what we do.
  • 00:15:48.627 --> 00:15:51.864
  • We're 100% okay with god because of our new birth, not because of
  • 00:15:51.864 --> 00:15:57.503
  • What we do.
  • 00:15:57.503 --> 00:15:58.837
  • You keep trying to make what you do, the determining factor of
  • 00:15:58.837 --> 00:16:02.574
  • Who you are.
  • 00:16:02.574 --> 00:16:07.112
  • As we get to this issue of righteousness settled in
  • 00:16:07.112 --> 00:16:12.151
  • Our minds--
  • 00:16:12.151 --> 00:16:13.485
  • That's what i'm trying to do--
  • 00:16:13.485 --> 00:16:14.853
  • You gotta settle this in your mind.
  • 00:16:14.853 --> 00:16:17.156
  • Once you get righteousness settled in your mind, you'll
  • 00:16:17.156 --> 00:16:19.825
  • Stop chasing okayness.
  • 00:16:19.825 --> 00:16:24.496
  • That's what we do.
  • 00:16:24.496 --> 00:16:25.864
  • We're chasing okayness.
  • 00:16:25.864 --> 00:16:28.967
  • What else do i need to do to be okay with god?
  • 00:16:28.967 --> 00:16:33.505
  • Chasing okayness.
  • 00:16:33.505 --> 00:16:37.576
  • Soon as you get that in your head, as soon as you get settled
  • 00:16:37.576 --> 00:16:41.013
  • In your head that "i am okay with god because i'm righteous,"
  • 00:16:41.013 --> 00:16:44.750
  • Then you can rest.
  • 00:16:44.750 --> 00:16:47.986
  • This is what it means to hear the spirit bear witness to our
  • 00:16:47.986 --> 00:16:54.259
  • Spirits that we are the sons and daughters of god.
  • 00:16:54.259 --> 00:16:57.729
  • Bear witness to our righteous identity.
  • 00:16:57.729 --> 00:17:00.766
  • He convicts us of our righteousness.
  • 00:17:00.766 --> 00:17:03.268
  • So we are no longer hungry and thirsty for more.
  • 00:17:03.268 --> 00:17:07.906
  • I am righteous.
  • 00:17:07.906 --> 00:17:10.442
  • It's enough.
  • 00:17:10.442 --> 00:17:13.979
  • And on that righteousness, everything in my life starts
  • 00:17:13.979 --> 00:17:17.816
  • Transforming and lining itself up with who i now believe i am.
  • 00:17:17.816 --> 00:17:24.957
  • Your conversation gonna change, your desire is gonna change.
  • 00:17:24.957 --> 00:17:29.361
  • The stuff you thought you like, you gonna realize had a bad
  • 00:17:29.361 --> 00:17:31.897
  • Taste in it.
  • 00:17:31.897 --> 00:17:33.232
  • You know, i used to love those donuts.
  • 00:17:33.232 --> 00:17:36.034
  • Remember they had that sale, buy one get one dozen free?
  • 00:17:36.034 --> 00:17:40.072
  • And i eat a dozen on the way home.
  • 00:17:40.072 --> 00:17:44.042
  • Taffi said, "where you been?"

  • You got sugar on your mustache."
  • 00:17:48.080 --> 00:17:52.818
  • And then when i backed up off of it for some years, i think,
  • 00:17:52.818 --> 00:17:57.990
  • "ken, you was with me."
  • 00:17:57.990 --> 00:17:59.358
