  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.413
  • Male announcer: this program is brought to you in part by the
  • 00:00:01.281 --> 00:00:03.416
  • Partners and friends of creflo dollar ministries.
  • 00:00:03.550 --> 00:00:06.886
  • Male announcer: coming up next on "changing your world."
  • 00:00:08.021 --> 00:00:11.057
  • Creflo dollar: we're all growing.
  • 00:00:12.058 --> 00:00:13.426
  • Now, we're not all at the same level, you know, we're not all
  • 00:00:13.426 --> 00:00:19.866
  • Getting delivered from the same things, but there's
  • 00:00:19.866 --> 00:00:22.936
  • A issue somewhere.
  • 00:00:22.936 --> 00:00:25.772
  • Your attitude, how you treat waitresses and waiters.
  • 00:00:25.772 --> 00:00:33.580
  • "i ain't gonna tip them."
  • 00:00:33.580 --> 00:00:34.914
  • You ought to stop it.
  • 00:00:34.914 --> 00:00:36.883
  • They got babies at home.
  • 00:00:36.883 --> 00:00:41.287
  • You ought to go in there with the attitude that "i'm gonna
  • 00:00:41.287 --> 00:00:43.323
  • Serve until," and if you ain't got no money, say, "i'm sorry.
  • 00:00:43.323 --> 00:00:46.493
  • I'm so sorry, but i ain't got no--i'll get you the next time,"
  • 00:00:46.493 --> 00:00:50.230
  • But don't act like, you know, we got that little thing.
  • 00:00:50.230 --> 00:00:54.567
  • "where is your manager?"
  • 00:00:54.567 --> 00:00:55.935
  • Like you all that.
  • 00:00:55.935 --> 00:01:00.106
  • "i want to talk to your manager!
  • 00:01:00.106 --> 00:01:01.741
  • I said i want grenadine in my coke and where's the grenadine?"
  • 00:01:01.741 --> 00:01:06.045
  • You need to go home.
  • 00:01:06.045 --> 00:01:07.380
  • You need to go somewhere else.
  • 00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:13.086
  • That's an issue.
  • 00:01:13.086 --> 00:01:16.422
  • Announcer: have you ever felt like no matter how hard you
  • 00:01:20.527 --> 00:01:22.795
  • Try, it's still not enough?
  • 00:01:22.795 --> 00:01:24.564
  • Like you're chasing peace, approval, maybe even god's love,
  • 00:01:24.564 --> 00:01:28.268
  • But never quite catching it?
  • 00:01:28.268 --> 00:01:29.936

  • Creflo: do you understand what it feels like?
  • 00:02:26.893 --> 00:02:28.728
  • Do you understand what it feels like to be a preacher and to
  • 00:02:28.728 --> 00:02:31.197
  • Wake up and wonder if you're going to heaven because you
  • 00:02:31.197 --> 00:02:36.302
  • Hadn't done enough?
  • 00:02:36.302 --> 00:02:38.538
  • And then you compare yourself amongst yourself, and then you
  • 00:02:38.538 --> 00:02:41.641
  • Start doing what you see some other minister or ministry doing
  • 00:02:41.641 --> 00:02:45.812
  • Because they seem to be doing more, so that means they're
  • 00:02:45.812 --> 00:02:49.716
  • Gonna be more, you know, okay with god than you are.
  • 00:02:49.716 --> 00:03:01.694
  • Let's just pause for a moment.
  • 00:03:05.365 --> 00:03:06.733
  • That's just too much.
  • 00:03:06.733 --> 00:03:08.067
  • Somebody say, "that's just too much."
  • 00:03:08.067 --> 00:03:09.435
  • Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, you think that's too much, wait
  • 00:03:09.435 --> 00:03:12.505
  • Until we read this, are you ready?
  • 00:03:12.505 --> 00:03:16.709
  • All right, we're gonna look at verse 20 through 31.
  • 00:03:16.709 --> 00:03:25.652
  • Boy, this is heavy.
  • 00:03:25.652 --> 00:03:27.287
  • "for no one can ever be made right with god by doing what the
  • 00:03:27.287 --> 00:03:33.726
  • Law commands."
  • 00:03:33.726 --> 00:03:43.770
  • That's what we've been taught though, right?
  • 00:03:43.836 --> 00:03:46.773
  • "no one can ever be made right with god by doing what the
  • 00:03:46.773 --> 00:03:51.577
  • Law commands.
  • 00:03:51.577 --> 00:03:56.416
  • The law simply shows us how sinful we are."
  • 00:03:56.416 --> 00:04:01.554
  • Okay, now let me explain this.
  • 00:04:01.554 --> 00:04:03.089
  • The law was perfect.
  • 00:04:03.089 --> 00:04:10.530
  • The law is not sin.
  • 00:04:10.530 --> 00:04:14.033
  • The law is flawless.
  • 00:04:14.033 --> 00:04:15.668
  • The law is perfect.
  • 00:04:15.668 --> 00:04:17.170
  • The problem with a relationship with the law is you're trying to
  • 00:04:17.170 --> 00:04:21.240
  • Take imperfection and match it with perfection.
  • 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:26.646
  • So, what's gonna happen when you hang around perfection?
  • 00:04:26.646 --> 00:04:30.683
  • It's gonna show up all your flaws.
  • 00:04:30.683 --> 00:04:35.521
  • I don't wanna hang around a perfect father, it's just gonna
  • 00:04:35.521 --> 00:04:37.957
  • Show me how imperfect i am as a father.
  • 00:04:37.957 --> 00:04:40.893
  • That's what that does.
  • 00:04:40.893 --> 00:04:43.296
  • So, what god was saying is "you really think you can do this
  • 00:04:43.296 --> 00:04:46.165
  • Without me?
  • 00:04:46.165 --> 00:04:47.500
  • Okay, i'm gonna give you something perfect, since you
  • 00:04:47.500 --> 00:04:52.538
  • That awesome.
  • 00:04:52.538 --> 00:04:53.906
  • I'm gonna give you the law."
  • 00:04:53.906 --> 00:04:56.342
  • And he says, "the reason why i gave the law was to show you how
  • 00:04:56.342 --> 00:05:00.279
  • Sinful you are,
  • 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.715
  • To show you, you can't even go a day keeping it--not all of
  • 00:05:02.715 --> 00:05:08.221
  • It, anyway."
  • 00:05:08.221 --> 00:05:10.289
  • I heard a preacher one time who says,
  • 00:05:10.289 --> 00:05:12.058
  • "i keep the law perfectly."
  • 00:05:12.058 --> 00:05:13.459
  • I'm thinking, "this dude, he just broke one:
  • 00:05:13.459 --> 00:05:17.063
  • Bragging and lying."
  • 00:05:17.063 --> 00:05:25.872
  • Look at verse 21.
  • 00:05:25.872 --> 00:05:27.240
  • Look at verse 20.
  • 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:28.574
  • He says, "nobody--no one can ever be made right with god by
  • 00:05:28.574 --> 00:05:33.146
  • Doing what the law commands," why?
  • 00:05:33.146 --> 00:05:34.647
  • Because the law simply shows us how sinful we are.
  • 00:05:34.647 --> 00:05:39.252
  • It shows you how sinful you are.
  • 00:05:39.252 --> 00:05:43.923
  • It was designed to condemn you.
  • 00:05:43.923 --> 00:05:45.992
  • It was designed to shame you.
  • 00:05:45.992 --> 00:05:48.895
  • It was designed to make you feel guilty and to show you, that's
  • 00:05:48.895 --> 00:05:52.999
  • What the law was doing.
  • 00:05:52.999 --> 00:05:57.904
  • "the law simply shows us how sinful we are."
  • 00:05:57.904 --> 00:06:00.706
  • The law wasn't given so you can be saved.
  • 00:06:00.706 --> 00:06:03.643
  • If the law could have saved us, jesus could have just stayed
  • 00:06:03.643 --> 00:06:07.914
  • Away from the cross and hell.
  • 00:06:07.914 --> 00:06:11.884
  • Verse 21, "but now--"
  • 00:06:11.884 --> 00:06:16.556
  • So, we're talking about now under this new covenant--
  • 00:06:16.556 --> 00:06:20.126
  • "god has shown us a way to be made right with him without
  • 00:06:20.126 --> 00:06:26.132
  • Keeping the requirements of the law."
  • 00:06:26.132 --> 00:06:30.269
  • God's made a way to show us how to be right with him without
  • 00:06:30.269 --> 00:06:33.339
  • Keeping the requirements of the law, "as was promised in the
  • 00:06:33.339 --> 00:06:36.609
  • Writings of moses and the prophets long ago."
  • 00:06:36.609 --> 00:06:44.750
  • Next verse, "we are made right with god by placing our faith in
  • 00:06:44.750 --> 00:06:50.857
  • Jesus christ."
  • 00:06:50.857 --> 00:06:52.191
  • The day abraham said to god, "i believed," genesis records that
  • 00:06:52.191 --> 00:06:59.799
  • Heaven said immediately, "you're righteous."
  • 00:06:59.799 --> 00:07:05.471
  • He said, "i believe," heaven said, "you're righteous," wow.
  • 00:07:05.471 --> 00:07:11.010
  • And when you read further in genesis, you see lying abraham,
  • 00:07:11.010 --> 00:07:16.482
  • Coward abraham, turn-his-wife-in abraham, and then god turned
  • 00:07:16.482 --> 00:07:25.157
  • Around in the middle of all of that, glory to god, and
  • 00:07:25.157 --> 00:07:29.228
  • Transferred wealth into his hands, got his wife back, and
  • 00:07:29.228 --> 00:07:35.535
  • Used him to bring healing to those who had a curse on 'em.
  • 00:07:35.535 --> 00:07:41.240
  • I'm like, well, he sure didn't earn that, but god said, "i had
  • 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:47.079
  • Already declared he righteous."
  • 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:52.218
  • "we are made right with god by placing our faith in
  • 00:07:52.218 --> 00:07:54.720
  • Jesus christ."
  • 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.088
  • How many of you believe in jesus,
  • 00:07:56.088 --> 00:07:57.723
  • But not just believe that jesus exists, but you believe that
  • 00:07:57.723 --> 00:08:01.627
  • Because of jesus, you've been made righteous?
  • 00:08:01.627 --> 00:08:04.964
  • How many of you believe that you're righteous because
  • 00:08:04.964 --> 00:08:07.099
  • Of jesus?
  • 00:08:07.099 --> 00:08:08.434
  • See, here's the deal, so as you said, "jesus, i believe," he
  • 00:08:08.434 --> 00:08:12.872
  • Said you're righteous, all right?
  • 00:08:12.872 --> 00:08:15.741
  • So, some things, you know, popped off in your life, and you
  • 00:08:15.741 --> 00:08:19.011
  • Were wondering, "uh-oh, am i still righteous?"
  • 00:08:19.011 --> 00:08:20.813
  • Somebody said, "what do you do?"
  • 00:08:20.813 --> 00:08:22.148
  • Go check with jesus.
  • 00:08:22.148 --> 00:08:23.516
  • "jesus, you still all right?"
  • 00:08:23.516 --> 00:08:25.418
  • He said, "yeah, i'm all right."
  • 00:08:25.418 --> 00:08:26.919
  • "well, then i'm all right, because i'm not all right
  • 00:08:26.919 --> 00:08:31.123
  • Because of what i do, i'm all right because of what he did,
  • 00:08:31.123 --> 00:08:34.260
  • And if he is all right, then i am all right."
  • 00:08:34.260 --> 00:08:36.696
  • See, during the time of the sacrificial animals, you
  • 00:08:36.696 --> 00:08:41.767
  • Couldn't just bring any animal, the animal had to be acceptable,
  • 00:08:41.767 --> 00:08:48.040
  • And if the animal sacrifice wasn't okay, you ain't okay.
  • 00:08:48.040 --> 00:08:55.448
  • But jesus is our sacrifice who will always be okay, and if he
  • 00:08:55.448 --> 00:09:02.822
  • Is okay, i am okay, you are okay.
  • 00:09:02.822 --> 00:09:11.330
  • I thought, this is awesome, what a gift.
  • 00:09:11.330 --> 00:09:14.166
  • This is so awesome.
  • 00:09:14.166 --> 00:09:15.501
  • This is amazing.
  • 00:09:15.501 --> 00:09:16.869
  • And there are people who turn the tv off and say, "i can't
  • 00:09:16.869 --> 00:09:20.306
  • Hear this man say this."
  • 00:09:20.306 --> 00:09:24.810
  • "you just trying to justify your sins."
  • 00:09:24.810 --> 00:09:28.881
  • Exactly, it has been justified
  • 00:09:28.881 --> 00:09:33.219
  • Just as if i'd never sinned.
  • 00:09:33.219 --> 00:09:43.129
  • This church is either gonna explode in growth or we're gonna
  • 00:09:45.464 --> 00:09:49.001
  • Be putting curtains in front of chairs.
  • 00:09:49.001 --> 00:09:55.441
  • But either way, you and i who believe in jesus and our
  • 00:09:55.441 --> 00:10:00.179
  • Righteousness will be able to stand in front of a righteous
  • 00:10:00.179 --> 00:10:03.249
  • Christ and hear him say, "my good and faithful servant,
  • 00:10:03.249 --> 00:10:07.887
  • Well done."
  • 00:10:07.887 --> 00:10:13.926
  • And then god will look down the ages and he will use us for an
  • 00:10:13.926 --> 00:10:19.598
  • Example and say, "look at what i did to those who didn't
  • 00:10:19.598 --> 00:10:24.603
  • Deserve it.
  • 00:10:24.603 --> 00:10:25.971
  • Look at what i did for those who couldn't do it.
  • 00:10:25.971 --> 00:10:28.274
  • Look at my magnificent grace."
  • 00:10:28.274 --> 00:10:38.317
  • "well, the gospel already been preached around the world."
  • 00:10:41.587 --> 00:10:43.923
  • No, what i'm preaching is the gospel, and i can assure you
  • 00:10:43.923 --> 00:10:46.659
  • This has not been preached all around the world, but it
  • 00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:50.963
  • Will be.
  • 00:10:50.963 --> 00:10:54.300
  • Technology is coming out, i'm gonna use it.
  • 00:10:54.300 --> 00:10:58.904
  • We're already working on it.
  • 00:10:58.904 --> 00:11:00.973
  • They're working on an ai type of software that will allow me to
  • 00:11:00.973 --> 00:11:07.446
  • Speak every language in the world with my voice, so i'll be
  • 00:11:07.446 --> 00:11:16.122
  • Able to go on television or media anywhere in the world and
  • 00:11:16.122 --> 00:11:21.193
  • Everybody there will think that this black dude preaching
  • 00:11:21.193 --> 00:11:24.563
  • Their language.
  • 00:11:24.563 --> 00:11:26.499
  • I ain't sacred of ai.
  • 00:11:26.499 --> 00:11:27.867
  • I ain't scared of technology.
  • 00:11:27.867 --> 00:11:29.835
  • I'm going to get it saved and use it to preach the gospel, and
  • 00:11:29.835 --> 00:11:35.307
  • When this gospel has been preached around the world, then
  • 00:11:35.307 --> 00:11:39.812
  • The end will come.
  • 00:11:39.812 --> 00:11:44.316
  • I asked god, i said, give me 35 years, give me at least 35
  • 00:11:44.316 --> 00:11:48.420
  • Years, strength and strong, to preach this gospel, 35 years.
  • 00:11:48.420 --> 00:11:53.726
  • I need y'all to agree, 35 years.
  • 00:11:53.726 --> 00:11:55.327
  • I need y'all to agree with me, 35 years, 35 years.
  • 00:11:55.327 --> 00:11:59.331
  • And i ain't talking about no 35 years can't hear, can't see,
  • 00:11:59.331 --> 00:12:03.135
  • Can't remember where i put my bible, always on the podium.
  • 00:12:03.135 --> 00:12:05.805
  • I ain't talking about that kind of 35, i'm talking about rock
  • 00:12:05.805 --> 00:12:07.973
  • And--35 years more.
  • 00:12:07.973 --> 00:12:09.675
  • You understand what i'm saying? you understand what i'm saying?
  • 00:12:09.675 --> 00:12:13.579
  • Still coming here, still sitting out there, still looking good.
  • 00:12:13.579 --> 00:12:16.182
  • I ain't stuntin' you.
  • 00:12:16.182 --> 00:12:17.716
  • This gospel will be preached around this world.
  • 00:12:17.716 --> 00:12:21.420
  • Why do you think he called us world changers?
  • 00:12:21.420 --> 00:12:28.160
  • But we can't change the world until our world has
  • 00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:31.564
  • Been changed.
  • 00:12:31.564 --> 00:12:38.437
  • If you do that, you'll be putting the buggy before
  • 00:12:38.437 --> 00:12:41.507
  • The horse.
  • 00:12:41.507 --> 00:12:44.343
  • "we are made right with god by placing our faith in
  • 00:12:44.343 --> 00:12:46.679
  • Jesus christ."
  • 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:48.013
  • And every time you see, "placing your faith in jesus christ,"
  • 00:12:48.013 --> 00:12:50.382
  • It's not just saying i believe in jesus, it's saying placing
  • 00:12:50.382 --> 00:12:53.586
  • Your faith in jesus christ and his righteousness.
  • 00:12:53.586 --> 00:12:58.624
  • "and this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who
  • 00:12:58.624 --> 00:13:03.863
  • We are.
  • 00:13:03.863 --> 00:13:06.065
  • For everyone has sinned."
  • 00:13:06.065 --> 00:13:09.568
  • Now, let's talk about that just for a moment.
  • 00:13:09.568 --> 00:13:11.403
  • "for everyone has sinned."
  • 00:13:11.403 --> 00:13:13.672
  • "for everyone has sinned; we all fall short of god's
  • 00:13:13.672 --> 00:13:17.843
  • Glorious standard."
  • 00:13:17.843 --> 00:13:19.311
  • Now, listen to me,
  • 00:13:19.311 --> 00:13:22.715
  • Everybody in this church got an issue.
  • 00:13:22.715 --> 00:13:31.423
  • Everybody, everybody, every preacher on this planet got an
  • 00:13:31.423 --> 00:13:39.732
  • Issue, every preacher.
  • 00:13:39.732 --> 00:13:44.470
  • I have to move my neck just to say that, "every preacher..."
  • 00:13:44.470 --> 00:13:50.209
  • I don't understand this thing we do when we see what we
  • 00:13:50.209 --> 00:13:56.148
  • Already know,
  • 00:13:56.148 --> 00:13:58.217
  • When the issue is revealed,
  • 00:13:58.217 --> 00:13:59.585
  • When we see it,
  • 00:13:59.585 --> 00:14:01.020
  • Then you panic as if you magically don't have one.
  • 00:14:01.020 --> 00:14:06.358
  • And i think the bible somewhere say, you know, take heed, lest
  • 00:14:06.358 --> 00:14:11.063
  • You fall.
  • 00:14:11.063 --> 00:14:12.965
  • Everybody got an issue.
  • 00:14:12.965 --> 00:14:15.901
  • I already told y'all, i know i got some issues, but because i
  • 00:14:15.901 --> 00:14:23.175
  • Know i'm righteous, i don't have them same issues, i got some
  • 00:14:23.175 --> 00:14:29.348
  • Different issues today.
  • 00:14:29.348 --> 00:14:30.683
  • Well, maybe they've always been there.
  • 00:14:30.683 --> 00:14:32.451
  • You know, i'm calming down, but every now and then the calmness
  • 00:14:32.451 --> 00:14:41.193
  • Ain't there.
  • 00:14:41.193 --> 00:14:43.529
  • Every now and then, you know, a word come out of my mouth.
  • 00:14:43.529 --> 00:14:48.500
  • Not too bad of a word, but you know, when is god like, "this is
  • 00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:51.437
  • Not bad and this is, you know, really bad"?
  • 00:14:51.437 --> 00:14:55.407
  • But i got enough sense to go to god and say, "that's proof that
  • 00:14:55.407 --> 00:14:59.278
  • I still need you.
  • 00:14:59.278 --> 00:15:03.015
  • Help me to continue to develop.
  • 00:15:03.015 --> 00:15:07.419
  • I'm on a journey."
  • 00:15:07.419 --> 00:15:09.621
  • Now, some people see this at church, you so holy, and you are
  • 00:15:09.621 --> 00:15:15.861
  • Holy in your stance,
  • 00:15:15.861 --> 00:15:24.803
  • But your state's still catching up with your stance.
  • 00:15:24.803 --> 00:15:29.908
  • We all growing.
  • 00:15:29.908 --> 00:15:31.477
  • Not--we're not all at the same level, you know, we're not all
  • 00:15:31.477 --> 00:15:36.749
  • Getting delivered from the same things,
  • 00:15:36.749 --> 00:15:39.885
  • But there's a issue somewhere.
  • 00:15:39.885 --> 00:15:43.722
  • Your attitude, how you treat waitresses and waiters.
  • 00:15:43.722 --> 00:15:51.397
  • "i ain't gonna tip them."
  • 00:15:51.397 --> 00:15:52.731
  • You ought to stop it.
  • 00:15:52.731 --> 00:15:54.700
  • They got babies at home.
  • 00:15:54.700 --> 00:15:59.104
  • You ought to go in there with the attitude that "i'm gonna
  • 00:15:59.104 --> 00:16:01.140
  • Serve until--"
  • 00:16:01.140 --> 00:16:02.474
  • And if you ain't got no money, say, "i'm sorry, i'm so sorry,
  • 00:16:02.474 --> 00:16:05.144
  • But ain't got no--i'll get you the next time."
  • 00:16:05.144 --> 00:16:08.047
  • But don't act like, you know--we got that little thing.
  • 00:16:08.047 --> 00:16:12.384
  • "where is your manager?"
  • 00:16:12.384 --> 00:16:14.787
  • Like you all that.
  • 00:16:14.787 --> 00:16:17.856
  • "i want to talk to your manager!
  • 00:16:17.856 --> 00:16:19.558
  • I said i want grenadine in my coke,
  • 00:16:19.558 --> 00:16:22.394
  • And where's the grenadine?"
  • 00:16:22.394 --> 00:16:23.862
  • You need to go home.
  • 00:16:23.862 --> 00:16:25.230
  • You need to go somewhere else.
  • 00:16:25.230 --> 00:16:30.936
  • That's an issue, you see what i'm saying?
  • 00:16:30.936 --> 00:16:36.375
  • Fornicating is the issue, but that bad attitude is still a
  • 00:16:36.375 --> 00:16:41.080
  • Same issue. you follow what i'm saying?
  • 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:43.315
  • So, nobody in here, including the good reverend, is without an
  • 00:16:45.517 --> 00:16:54.660
  • Issue, and some of y'all needed to hear that.
  • 00:16:54.660 --> 00:16:56.829
  • Some of y'all needed to hear, including me, because for so
  • 00:16:56.829 --> 00:17:00.432
  • Long we stand on this pulpit like we are excluded, when in
  • 00:17:00.432 --> 00:17:06.271
  • Fact, a better leader will be included so that it's easy to
  • 00:17:06.271 --> 00:17:12.211
  • Follow somebody who has gone down the path, who has crossed
  • 00:17:12.211 --> 00:17:17.282
  • The goal line, who know what you talking about.
  • 00:17:17.282 --> 00:17:27.326
  • "for everyone has sinned, we all fall short of god's
  • 00:17:29.928 --> 00:17:33.932
  • Glorious standard."
  • 00:17:33.932 --> 00:17:35.300
  • We all fall short.
  • 00:17:35.300 --> 00:17:36.635
  • Now, what is he describing here in this verse?
  • 00:17:36.635 --> 00:17:38.270
  • Inferiority, okay, he is saying because of what adam did in the
  • 00:17:38.270 --> 00:17:44.443
  • Garden, every person deals with inferiority.
  • 00:17:44.443 --> 00:17:51.984
  • Inferiority is saying, "i don't measure up."
  • 00:17:51.984 --> 00:17:56.155
  • Inferiority that says, "i don't feel like i'm cared for."
  • 00:17:56.155 --> 00:18:00.692
  • Inferiority, it's this thing that men fight especially,
  • 00:18:00.692 --> 00:18:05.797
  • That your manhood is under attack because of
  • 00:18:05.797 --> 00:18:08.667
  • Your inferiority.
  • 00:18:08.667 --> 00:18:10.002
  • Because what happens in the life of a man is in order for him to
  • 00:18:10.002 --> 00:18:15.340
  • Battle his inferiority, he tries to gain a false sense
  • 00:18:15.340 --> 00:18:22.047
  • Of superiority.
  • 00:18:22.047 --> 00:18:24.349
  • This is where racism comes from.
  • 00:18:24.349 --> 00:18:27.553
  • Racism comes from "i really feel inferior, but i'm gonna find
  • 00:18:27.553 --> 00:18:33.225
  • Somebody of a different color so that i can pretend to
  • 00:18:33.225 --> 00:18:37.596
  • Be superior."
  • 00:18:37.596 --> 00:18:40.399
  • But it's a false superiority, which will create a false
  • 00:18:40.399 --> 00:18:47.506
  • Identity and false intimacy, because you're now developing
  • 00:18:47.506 --> 00:18:53.845
  • Under the covers, because you're not showing who you really are.
  • 00:18:53.845 --> 00:19:01.019
  • And we encounter this every day.
  • 00:19:01.019 --> 00:19:03.021
  • We encounter somebody's inferiority complex, and in
  • 00:19:03.021 --> 00:19:07.693
  • Order to deal with it, i got to figure out how i can be
  • 00:19:07.693 --> 00:19:10.529
  • Superior--so you beat your wife?
  • 00:19:10.529 --> 00:19:15.901
  • The ugly things we do to fight off inferiority, and the only
  • 00:19:15.901 --> 00:19:21.707
  • Antidote for inferiority is jesus.
  • 00:19:21.707 --> 00:19:28.947
  • That's the only antidote, it's jesus.
  • 00:19:28.947 --> 00:19:35.921
  • Oh, our society is something.
  • 00:19:35.921 --> 00:19:39.191
  • I often sit in my kitchen in the morning and turn on the early
  • 00:19:39.191 --> 00:19:42.261
  • Broadcast and listen to it to judge myself, and what can i say
  • 00:19:42.261 --> 00:19:46.498
  • Better, what better illustration i can use?
  • 00:19:46.498 --> 00:19:48.567
  • And then i close and the lord's dealing with me and i say,
  • 00:19:48.567 --> 00:19:51.336
  • "lord, i wonder if anybody in the world even watching this."
  • 00:19:51.336 --> 00:19:56.575
  • I remember going to my ceo and i told him this.
  • 00:19:56.575 --> 00:20:01.213
  • I said, "man, i don't even know, is anybody paying attention to
  • 00:20:01.213 --> 00:20:04.750
  • This or am i just laughable?"
  • 00:20:04.750 --> 00:20:09.921
  • He called the head of our television department, or the
  • 00:20:09.921 --> 00:20:14.326
  • Head of our tv thing, tv buys or whatever that is, media, and he
  • 00:20:14.326 --> 00:20:22.334
  • Had them to put a report together about where we stood,
  • 00:20:22.334 --> 00:20:28.073
  • And the media guy came in, brother damon, he had to hold
  • 00:20:28.073 --> 00:20:31.710
  • Back his tears.
  • 00:20:31.710 --> 00:20:34.079
  • He said, "you ain't gonna believe this," and i'm like,
  • 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:35.714
  • "yeah, what, go on and give it to me."
  • 00:20:35.714 --> 00:20:39.751
  • We need to come off tv because ain't nobody paying attention
  • 00:20:39.751 --> 00:20:42.354
  • To nothing.
  • 00:20:42.354 --> 00:20:44.089
  • He said, "pastor, on the contrary--"
  • 00:20:44.089 --> 00:20:47.893
  • He said, "you are the number one broadcaster on several networks
  • 00:20:47.893 --> 00:20:54.499
  • And stations around the world."
  • 00:20:54.499 --> 00:20:58.904
  • And he answered the question, he says, "you wanna know if anybody
  • 00:20:58.904 --> 00:21:03.709
  • Is watching?"
  • 00:21:03.709 --> 00:21:05.410
  • And he put something in front of me, the millions of people that
  • 00:21:05.410 --> 00:21:08.880
  • Tune in every single day to get the gospel.
  • 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:13.151
  • I may never know, and the whole time the spirit of god would say
  • 00:21:13.151 --> 00:21:16.922
  • To me, "you won't know until you see me the impact of
  • 00:21:16.922 --> 00:21:24.429
  • This ministry."
  • 00:21:24.429 --> 00:21:27.899
  • Now, what did i do when i received that?
  • 00:21:27.899 --> 00:21:33.905
  • It still ain't enough.
  • 00:21:33.905 --> 00:21:36.208
  • There's still some people that need to be reached.
  • 00:21:36.208 --> 00:21:38.810
  • They're talking about building condos on the moon.
  • 00:21:38.810 --> 00:21:41.113
  • We gotta believe for a space shuttle, and we gotta get
  • 00:21:41.113 --> 00:21:46.752
  • Somebody that's gonna stay on the moon with them, because they
  • 00:21:46.752 --> 00:21:49.921
  • Need jesus.
  • 00:21:49.921 --> 00:21:51.790
  • If that telescope discover life on mars or something, we gotta
  • 00:21:51.790 --> 00:21:54.559
  • Figure out how to get there.
  • 00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:55.894
  • They need jesus.
  • 00:21:55.894 --> 00:21:57.262
  • We don't have just the god of the earth, our god is the god of
  • 00:21:57.262 --> 00:21:59.798
  • The universe, hallelujah!
  • 00:21:59.798 --> 00:22:04.169
  • And i don't know why he favored us on the planet!
  • 00:22:04.169 --> 00:22:08.006
  • "what is man that thou art mindful of him?"
  • 00:22:08.006 --> 00:22:10.542
  • That you visit him, oh, glory to god, this little dust, why do
  • 00:22:10.542 --> 00:22:15.647
  • You visit this man who has been made a little lower than elohim,
  • 00:22:15.647 --> 00:22:22.587
  • That you crown him with glory and honor?
  • 00:22:22.587 --> 00:22:25.490
  • The little speck of something that can't even be seen in
  • 00:22:25.490 --> 00:22:28.794
  • Distant galaxies.
  • 00:22:28.794 --> 00:22:30.128
  • What is man that you chose to live in him?
  • 00:22:30.128 --> 00:22:34.699
  • The creator of the universe lives in us.
  • 00:22:34.699 --> 00:22:40.172
  • Came down and died for us, went to hell for us, gave us the gift
  • 00:22:40.172 --> 00:22:45.677
  • Of righteousness, and we let some earthly religious theology
  • 00:22:45.677 --> 00:22:50.348
  • Talk us out of what he has given us.
  • 00:22:50.348 --> 00:22:56.655
  • Male announcer: believers, are you equipped for battle?
  • 00:23:00.792 --> 00:23:03.295
  • In these last days, our minds are the battlefield and arena
  • 00:23:03.295 --> 00:23:06.498
  • Of our faith.
  • 00:23:06.498 --> 00:23:07.833
  • In the five-part series "how to maintain your righteous stance,"
  • 00:23:07.833 --> 00:23:10.769
