  • Creflo: romans 3:22 is--it's important for us to really look
  • 00:01:52.025 --> 00:01:56.062
  • At this because we've got to correctly understand how god's
  • 00:01:56.062 --> 00:02:01.467
  • Righteousness comes to us.
  • 00:02:01.467 --> 00:02:03.169
  • Does god's righteousness come to us because we have faith in
  • 00:02:03.169 --> 00:02:06.773
  • Jesus, meaning that we've got to do that in order for
  • 00:02:06.773 --> 00:02:10.543
  • Righteousness to come?
  • 00:02:10.543 --> 00:02:11.878
  • Or does god's righteousness come to us because we have the faith
  • 00:02:11.878 --> 00:02:14.614
  • Of jesus, meaning that righteousness came as a gift
  • 00:02:14.614 --> 00:02:18.084
  • Because it's his faith?
  • 00:02:18.084 --> 00:02:21.354
  • Does that make sense?
  • 00:02:21.354 --> 00:02:23.122
  • Having the righteousness, having faith in jesus christ.
  • 00:02:23.122 --> 00:02:26.359
  • Oh, now look at it and this is clear as i go, having faith in
  • 00:02:26.359 --> 00:02:30.930
  • Jesus christ.
  • 00:02:30.930 --> 00:02:32.265
  • Oh, but everybody's supposed to have faith in jesus christ.
  • 00:02:32.265 --> 00:02:35.168
  • Yeah, i'm supposed to have faith in jesus christ that it's
  • 00:02:35.168 --> 00:02:38.504
  • His faith.
  • 00:02:38.504 --> 00:02:39.839
  • I'm supposed to believe that it's his faith.
  • 00:02:39.839 --> 00:02:42.508
  • But having faith in jesus christ, saying, i got to have
  • 00:02:42.508 --> 00:02:46.346
  • Faith in jesus christ in order to get righteousness appears to
  • 00:02:46.346 --> 00:02:51.217
  • Be something, again, i've got to do to get righteousness.
  • 00:02:51.217 --> 00:02:55.755
  • But the faith of jesus christ, righteousness now is a gift.
  • 00:02:55.755 --> 00:03:00.860
  • Because the faith is, it's not my faith that determines me
  • 00:03:00.860 --> 00:03:03.997
  • Getting righteous.
  • 00:03:03.997 --> 00:03:05.331
  • It's his faith that gifted me with righteousness.
  • 00:03:05.331 --> 00:03:08.901
  • Are you seeing what i'm saying?
  • 00:03:12.572 --> 00:03:14.240
  • And so some translations that translate it "in christ," the
  • 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.244
  • Nlt, the esv, the cev, they all translate it, but thank god that
  • 00:03:18.244 --> 00:03:22.849
  • The the king james, you know, does it "of christ" and we see
  • 00:03:22.849 --> 00:03:26.152
  • It very clearly.
  • 00:03:26.152 --> 00:03:27.487
  • So why is an understanding of this so critical?
  • 00:03:27.487 --> 00:03:30.056
  • All right, now listen to this, this is so important.
  • 00:03:30.056 --> 00:03:31.724
  • This is big, big, big, big.
  • 00:03:31.724 --> 00:03:34.894
  • Because the faith of jesus christ says it's a free gift.
  • 00:03:34.894 --> 00:03:40.633
  • The faith of jesus christ says it's finished.
  • 00:03:40.633 --> 00:03:45.505
  • But faith in jesus christ makes it something we need to do to
  • 00:03:45.505 --> 00:03:49.375
  • Become righteous or that god only accepts people because of
  • 00:03:49.375 --> 00:03:52.979
  • Their faith in jesus.
  • 00:03:52.979 --> 00:03:55.548
  • And that's just not true.
  • 00:03:55.548 --> 00:03:57.550
  • That makes it about our works instead of his finished works.
  • 00:03:57.550 --> 00:04:03.089
  • Now, this is why it's so important.
  • 00:04:03.089 --> 00:04:05.091
  • Let me give you an illustration.
  • 00:04:05.091 --> 00:04:07.160
  • If i'm gonna understand romans chapter 7, i gotta make sure i
  • 00:04:07.160 --> 00:04:10.596
  • Understand romans chapter 5 and 6.
  • 00:04:10.596 --> 00:04:13.366
  • If i want to understand chapter 5 and 6, i gotta make sure i
  • 00:04:13.366 --> 00:04:15.601
  • Understand romans chapter 3.
  • 00:04:15.601 --> 00:04:18.037
  • So, if you read it as putting your faith in jesus, that will
  • 00:04:18.037 --> 00:04:22.475
  • Also be the lens through which you read romans 5 and 6.
  • 00:04:22.475 --> 00:04:27.714
  • Now watch carefully.
  • 00:04:27.714 --> 00:04:31.284
  • I believe that a correct understanding of romans 3:22,
  • 00:04:31.284 --> 00:04:34.721
  • Which we're talking about right now, it's kind of like
  • 00:04:34.721 --> 00:04:38.791
  • Understanding the garden scene in genesis chapter 3.
  • 00:04:38.791 --> 00:04:41.794
  • If you go to genesis chapter 3, and if your perception of god
  • 00:04:41.794 --> 00:04:47.200
  • Sets the stage of how you see god throughout the rest of the
  • 00:04:47.200 --> 00:04:50.436
  • Scripture, and that's true, however you perceive god in
  • 00:04:50.436 --> 00:04:53.406
  • Genesis chapter 3, you're gonna perceive him like that for the
  • 00:04:53.406 --> 00:04:56.976
  • Rest of the scriptures.
  • 00:04:56.976 --> 00:04:58.544
  • So either you're gonna see god as a loving father or you're
  • 00:04:58.544 --> 00:05:02.281
  • Gonna see him as a demanding god punisher of those who are
  • 00:05:02.281 --> 00:05:06.819
  • In disobedience.
  • 00:05:06.819 --> 00:05:10.022
  • Your perception of god will determine how you see god.
  • 00:05:10.022 --> 00:05:15.862
  • If you perceive him as a punisher, you're gonna see him
  • 00:05:15.862 --> 00:05:18.765
  • As a punisher.
  • 00:05:18.765 --> 00:05:21.100
  • So here in romans 3, our perception of christ's faith,
  • 00:05:21.100 --> 00:05:24.871
  • Our faith in christ, it sets the stage for how we read the rest
  • 00:05:24.871 --> 00:05:28.474
  • Of romans and how we read the new testament.
  • 00:05:28.474 --> 00:05:31.677
  • And either we're going to emphasize the finished work of
  • 00:05:31.677 --> 00:05:35.815
  • God, or we're gonna emphasize it's conditionally based on our
  • 00:05:35.815 --> 00:05:40.753
  • Putting our faith in receiving justification, in receiving
  • 00:05:40.753 --> 00:05:43.856
  • Salvation, in receiving righteousness.
  • 00:05:43.856 --> 00:05:45.958
  • See, the difference is gonna be if i put my faith in christ, you
  • 00:05:45.958 --> 00:05:50.596
  • Are now saying i have to do this in order to receive
  • 00:05:50.596 --> 00:05:58.237
  • Righteousness, redemption, and all the gifts.
  • 00:05:58.237 --> 00:06:01.541
  • Yeah, but wait a minute, brother, listen to what i'm
  • 00:06:01.541 --> 00:06:03.109
  • Saying, it's his faith.
  • 00:06:03.109 --> 00:06:05.678
  • I'm gonna--i'm gonna clear it up in genesis--in
  • 00:06:05.678 --> 00:06:07.580
  • Galatians 2:20.
  • 00:06:07.580 --> 00:06:08.915
  • It's his faith.
  • 00:06:08.915 --> 00:06:10.583
  • The faith is possessed by him.
  • 00:06:10.583 --> 00:06:14.187
  • With his faith, he gave you righteousness as a gift.
  • 00:06:14.187 --> 00:06:20.293
  • Hm, with his faith, he made-- he redeemed you.
  • 00:06:20.293 --> 00:06:25.898
  • With his faith, he gave you wisdom.
  • 00:06:25.898 --> 00:06:29.435
  • With his faith, he made you holy.
  • 00:06:29.435 --> 00:06:34.841
  • You were none of them.
  • 00:06:34.841 --> 00:06:36.409
  • It's all gifted to you.
  • 00:06:39.946 --> 00:06:43.950
  • You're--you ain't--so first of all, the faith we have is
  • 00:06:43.950 --> 00:06:51.958
  • His faith.
  • 00:06:51.958 --> 00:06:56.128
  • You don't have no faith.
  • 00:06:56.128 --> 00:06:58.431
  • You have his faith.
  • 00:06:58.431 --> 00:07:00.600
  • He is the source of the faith you have, but that's why he says
  • 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.403
  • I gave to every man the measure of faith because there's only
  • 00:07:04.403 --> 00:07:07.907
  • One lord, one faith, and he gave you the faith.
  • 00:07:07.907 --> 00:07:11.377
  • There's only one, so he gave you his faith.
  • 00:07:11.377 --> 00:07:14.247
  • You share in his faith.
  • 00:07:14.247 --> 00:07:16.048
  • So there you go again, trying to use something that's his to get
  • 00:07:20.086 --> 00:07:25.091
  • Something that's his.
  • 00:07:25.091 --> 00:07:29.161
  • Let's see, how do we break this down a little bit more.
  • 00:07:33.266 --> 00:07:35.768
  • All right, let's use paul.
  • 00:07:35.768 --> 00:07:39.005
  • Paul's opponents to his grace message believe that
  • 00:07:39.005 --> 00:07:42.341
  • Justification came from obeying the law of moses.
  • 00:07:42.341 --> 00:07:46.979
  • You can read that they're always saying, no, what about
  • 00:07:46.979 --> 00:07:49.282
  • Moses's law?
  • 00:07:49.282 --> 00:07:52.184
  • However, paul taught that our justification came not from
  • 00:07:52.184 --> 00:07:56.322
  • Works, but from jesus.
  • 00:07:56.322 --> 00:08:00.693
  • Look at romans 3:20 real quick.
  • 00:08:00.693 --> 00:08:03.462
  • Romans 3:20.
  • 00:08:03.462 --> 00:08:06.766
  • All right, romans 3:20.
  • 00:08:06.766 --> 00:08:09.835
  • He says, "therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh
  • 00:08:09.835 --> 00:08:14.340
  • Be justified."
  • 00:08:14.340 --> 00:08:15.942
  • No flesh can be justified by the deeds of the law, "for by the
  • 00:08:15.942 --> 00:08:18.878
  • Law is the knowledge of sin."
  • 00:08:18.878 --> 00:08:20.980
  • So romans 3:20 tells us that no one is justified by the law or
  • 00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:24.784
  • By our own works.
  • 00:08:24.784 --> 00:08:26.619
  • And look at verse 24.
  • 00:08:26.619 --> 00:08:27.954
  • Romans 3:24.
  • 00:08:27.954 --> 00:08:31.724
  • "being justified freely by his grace through the redemption
  • 00:08:31.724 --> 00:08:37.763
  • That is in christ jesus."
  • 00:08:37.763 --> 00:08:41.067
  • So verse 24 says that we are freely justified by his grace
  • 00:08:41.067 --> 00:08:45.237
  • Through redemption that is in christ jesus.
  • 00:08:45.237 --> 00:08:49.075
  • So watch this, both grace and redemption in this verse are
  • 00:08:49.075 --> 00:08:54.280
  • Also genitive possessive case nouns, which means they belong
  • 00:08:54.280 --> 00:09:00.386
  • To him.
  • 00:09:00.386 --> 00:09:03.889
  • Grace belongs to him.
  • 00:09:03.889 --> 00:09:05.958
  • Redemption belongs to him.
  • 00:09:05.958 --> 00:09:08.694
  • That's the genitive possessive case noun.
  • 00:09:08.694 --> 00:09:11.964
  • It is his grace.
  • 00:09:11.964 --> 00:09:14.000
  • It is his redemption.
  • 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:15.901
  • It is his faith that justifies us.
  • 00:09:15.901 --> 00:09:20.973
  • It's all him.
  • 00:09:20.973 --> 00:09:24.210
  • Oh, but religion says no, you got your part and god has
  • 00:09:24.210 --> 00:09:31.917
  • His part.
  • 00:09:31.917 --> 00:09:33.719
  • As far as the gifts, you didn't get a part.
  • 00:09:33.719 --> 00:09:39.425
  • Oh, you pause because you insist that you do.
  • 00:09:39.425 --> 00:09:41.961
  • You don't.
  • 00:09:41.961 --> 00:09:44.196
  • You don't get a part in you being righteous.
  • 00:09:44.196 --> 00:09:48.834
  • You don't get a part in you being redeemed.
  • 00:09:48.834 --> 00:09:53.439
  • "yeah, but brother dollar, i had--i got to receive it."
  • 00:09:53.439 --> 00:09:56.542
  • That's 'cause you don't understand it, so you took a
  • 00:09:56.542 --> 00:09:58.511
  • Religious mindset and said, "well, you still have to
  • 00:09:58.511 --> 00:10:02.281
  • Receive it."
  • 00:10:02.281 --> 00:10:03.616
  • No, once you realize that you didn't have a part, then you go
  • 00:10:03.616 --> 00:10:07.420
  • Ahead and receive what's already done.
  • 00:10:07.420 --> 00:10:10.456
  • It's a small sell.
  • 00:10:10.456 --> 00:10:11.791
  • That's how that works.
  • 00:10:11.791 --> 00:10:17.530
  • You don't have a part.
  • 00:10:17.530 --> 00:10:19.365
  • And that's the attack on religion which satan nourishes.
  • 00:10:19.365 --> 00:10:24.737
  • It's not just god bringing you to church.
  • 00:10:24.737 --> 00:10:27.506
  • It depends on where you're going because satan don't mind you
  • 00:10:27.506 --> 00:10:30.576
  • Going now.
  • 00:10:30.576 --> 00:10:33.813
  • Because like a dude who sells drugs, if i can just give you a
  • 00:10:33.813 --> 00:10:38.651
  • Little taste of the product, i get you hooked on it.
  • 00:10:38.651 --> 00:10:43.622
  • And he's been giving us a little taste of the product
  • 00:10:43.622 --> 00:10:45.558
  • Of religion.
  • 00:10:45.558 --> 00:10:47.126
  • Excuse my english, but we done got hooked on it.
  • 00:10:47.126 --> 00:10:50.362
  • And your tradition has made the word of god of no effect, and
  • 00:10:50.362 --> 00:10:54.333
  • Your traditional mindset and thinking has made the word of
  • 00:10:54.333 --> 00:10:57.403
  • God--i'm giving you everything so you can go and and get
  • 00:10:57.403 --> 00:10:59.839
  • Serious and y'all can check out what i'm saying.
  • 00:10:59.839 --> 00:11:01.640
  • I am telling you, religion has fed us, religion has groomed us.
  • 00:11:01.640 --> 00:11:08.714
  • 'cause the devil knew there would come a time where a bunch
  • 00:11:08.714 --> 00:11:11.150
  • Of free people who delivered from approval would study and
  • 00:11:11.150 --> 00:11:15.488
  • Study and not get satisfied with religion and knew something
  • 00:11:15.488 --> 00:11:19.391
  • Was wrong.
  • 00:11:19.391 --> 00:11:20.726
  • What about this god?
  • 00:11:20.726 --> 00:11:22.094
  • This god is--if he's that great, what is this?
  • 00:11:22.094 --> 00:11:23.763
  • You please understand me, god don't need you to be who he is.
  • 00:11:23.763 --> 00:11:30.336
  • But we had to make some kind of religious, i don't know,
  • 00:11:34.507 --> 00:11:39.845
  • Something to make it seem like we were doing something and then
  • 00:11:39.845 --> 00:11:42.448
  • We started trying to outdo something and then we're just so
  • 00:11:42.448 --> 00:11:45.484
  • Pressured by it.
  • 00:11:45.484 --> 00:11:46.986
  • It's like, oh my god, so their faith must be greater than mine.
  • 00:11:46.986 --> 00:11:50.356
  • You ever been--something must be wrong with my faith.
  • 00:11:50.356 --> 00:11:53.893
  • This didn't happen.
  • 00:11:53.893 --> 00:11:57.830
  • This didn't happen and i--then i cried and i cried all night
  • 00:11:57.830 --> 00:12:00.733
  • Long and i cried all night long and, oh, i'm crying.
  • 00:12:00.733 --> 00:12:04.336
  • God said, "you had no business crying in the first place.
  • 00:12:04.336 --> 00:12:09.275
  • I just need you to realize, receive, rest, and if trouble
  • 00:12:09.275 --> 00:12:13.979
  • Shows up, echo what i already have done."
  • 00:12:13.979 --> 00:12:24.089
  • Paul goes to--galatians 2:16, would you?
  • 00:12:27.993 --> 00:12:33.165
  • Would you please go there in galatians 2:16?
  • 00:12:33.165 --> 00:12:37.269
  • And here's what he says here.
  • 00:12:37.269 --> 00:12:40.773
  • Is everybody still on the bus, y'all, y'all?
  • 00:12:40.773 --> 00:12:43.475
  • There's a--i might be a little whatever, biased or whatever,
  • 00:12:43.475 --> 00:12:47.112
  • But i tell you what.
  • 00:12:47.112 --> 00:12:48.447
  • I don't believe there's no church in america that could sit
  • 00:12:48.447 --> 00:12:51.517
  • Here and absorb what i'm saying, you know, most people will
  • 00:12:51.517 --> 00:12:54.753
  • Be like...
  • 00:12:54.753 --> 00:13:00.793
  • "yes, amen, amen!"
  • 00:13:04.263 --> 00:13:06.532
  • 'cause if his religious mindset can't get you, his religious
  • 00:13:10.703 --> 00:13:14.073
  • Nodding will get you.
  • 00:13:14.073 --> 00:13:17.643
  • That's why you need to go to sleep at night.
  • 00:13:17.643 --> 00:13:21.247
  • Look at genesis-- galatians chapter 2:16.
  • 00:13:21.247 --> 00:13:23.582
  • He says, "man is not justified by works of the law, but by the
  • 00:13:23.582 --> 00:13:30.222
  • Faith of jesus christ."
  • 00:13:30.222 --> 00:13:32.191
  • It's his faith.
  • 00:13:32.191 --> 00:13:33.759
  • "even we have believed in christ jesus, that we might
  • 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.763
  • Be justified."
  • 00:13:37.763 --> 00:13:39.098
  • Ah, interesting.
  • 00:13:39.098 --> 00:13:40.466
  • Sounds like it contradicted everything, right?
  • 00:13:40.466 --> 00:13:41.800
  • Underline that.
  • 00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:43.135
  • "even we have believed in christ jesus that we might be justified
  • 00:13:43.135 --> 00:13:45.704
  • By," by what?
  • 00:13:45.704 --> 00:13:47.106
  • "the faith of christ, and not by the works of the law."
  • 00:13:47.106 --> 00:13:50.910
  • Something's going on here.
  • 00:13:50.910 --> 00:13:53.612
  • "for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."
  • 00:13:53.612 --> 00:13:58.050
  • It says "the faith," meaning it's not a general faith.
  • 00:13:58.050 --> 00:14:02.021
  • It is the faith.
  • 00:14:02.021 --> 00:14:03.355
  • Whose faith?
  • 00:14:03.355 --> 00:14:04.723
  • Ephesians 4:5, it is the only one faith, his faith.
  • 00:14:04.723 --> 00:14:08.527
  • And paul said this is the faith he lives by.
  • 00:14:08.527 --> 00:14:11.630
  • Paul says, "i live by the faith.
  • 00:14:11.630 --> 00:14:13.332
  • I live by the one faith.
  • 00:14:13.332 --> 00:14:15.067
  • I live by his faith."
  • 00:14:15.067 --> 00:14:17.503
  • We live by his faith.
  • 00:14:17.503 --> 00:14:19.338
  • We live by the faith of jesus christ.
  • 00:14:19.338 --> 00:14:21.140
  • You'll see that in a moment.
  • 00:14:21.140 --> 00:14:24.176
  • And so paul says this is the faith he lives by, the faith,
  • 00:14:24.176 --> 00:14:27.279
  • The one faith of the son of god.
  • 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:30.082
  • But now we need to straighten out that phrase we just saw
  • 00:14:30.082 --> 00:14:32.151
  • There in 2:16.
  • 00:14:32.151 --> 00:14:35.054
  • He mentions our "believing in christ, that we might be
  • 00:14:35.054 --> 00:14:37.356
  • Justified by christ's faith, and not by the works of the law."
  • 00:14:37.356 --> 00:14:40.726
  • So the word here, when he uses the word "in," anytime you find
  • 00:14:40.726 --> 00:14:45.965
  • It contradicting a truth that has a string, go to the greek.
  • 00:14:45.965 --> 00:14:50.903
  • The word "in," in the greek it's spelled e-i-s, and it means a
  • 00:14:50.903 --> 00:14:57.409
  • Point reached in conclusion.
  • 00:14:57.409 --> 00:15:01.613
  • The point was reached in conclusion.
  • 00:15:01.613 --> 00:15:05.150
  • It's not putting our belief in jesus.
  • 00:15:05.150 --> 00:15:08.220
  • Instead, it means that his belief, his faith, is the only
  • 00:15:08.220 --> 00:15:12.424
  • Valid basis for our believing.
  • 00:15:12.424 --> 00:15:16.662
  • My believing is in the finish.
  • 00:15:16.662 --> 00:15:19.331
  • My believing is in the conclusion.
  • 00:15:19.331 --> 00:15:23.035
  • In other words, we believe what he believes.
  • 00:15:23.035 --> 00:15:26.705
  • His belief is the conclusion of our belief.
  • 00:15:26.705 --> 00:15:31.076
  • What he believes is what i believe.
  • 00:15:31.076 --> 00:15:33.779
  • Oh god, he believes i'm righteous.
  • 00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:37.783
  • He believes i'm redeemed.
  • 00:15:37.783 --> 00:15:40.019
  • He believes i'm healed, he believes i'm delivered, so i'm
  • 00:15:40.019 --> 00:15:43.255
  • Believing in what he believes.
  • 00:15:43.255 --> 00:15:45.224
  • I'm not believing so i can get the righteousness.
  • 00:15:48.627 --> 00:15:51.063
  • He believes i'm righteous.
  • 00:15:51.063 --> 00:15:52.398
  • His faith believes i'm righteous.
  • 00:15:52.398 --> 00:15:54.633
  • My belief is in the conclusion, [speaking in tongues].
  • 00:15:54.633 --> 00:15:58.337
  • I believe what you believe, god.
  • 00:15:58.337 --> 00:16:00.372
  • You believe i'm healed, don't you?
  • 00:16:00.372 --> 00:16:01.740
  • He says, "healed."
  • 00:16:01.740 --> 00:16:03.075
  • Well, i believe i'm healed.
  • 00:16:03.075 --> 00:16:04.443
  • You believe i'm delivered, don't you?
  • 00:16:04.443 --> 00:16:06.011
  • "delivered." well, i believe i'm delivered.
  • 00:16:06.011 --> 00:16:07.780
  • You believe i'm prosperous. he said, "prosperous."
  • 00:16:07.780 --> 00:16:10.049
  • Well, i'm prosperous.
  • 00:16:10.049 --> 00:16:11.383
  • You believe that i'm forgiven, "forgiven."
  • 00:16:11.383 --> 00:16:14.253
  • He believes, i believe what he believes.
  • 00:16:14.253 --> 00:16:17.122
  • Find out what he believes.
  • 00:16:17.122 --> 00:16:19.858
  • Now i want you to write this down, and i want you to go home
  • 00:16:24.029 --> 00:16:27.266
  • And think about this.
  • 00:16:27.266 --> 00:16:29.101
  • I'm not finished yet.
  • 00:16:29.101 --> 00:16:32.004
  • Jesus is what god believes about you.
  • 00:16:32.004 --> 00:16:35.007
  • Jesus is what god believes about you.
  • 00:16:38.877 --> 00:16:42.181
  • That's strong, isn't it?
  • 00:16:45.150 --> 00:16:48.020
  • Jesus is what god believes about you.
  • 00:16:48.020 --> 00:16:52.558
  • Jesus is what god believes about you.
  • 00:16:56.428 --> 00:17:01.333
  • He looks at you, he looks at me, and he concludes, "jesus is what
  • 00:17:01.333 --> 00:17:07.172
  • I believe about you.
  • 00:17:07.172 --> 00:17:08.540
  • Jesus is what i believe about you."
  • 00:17:12.277 --> 00:17:15.047
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:17:15.047 --> 00:17:17.850
  • Jesus, are your brain pores opening up?
  • 00:17:17.850 --> 00:17:20.686
  • "jesus is what i believe about you.
  • 00:17:20.686 --> 00:17:22.454
  • Jesus is what i believe about you.
  • 00:17:25.524 --> 00:17:27.126
  • Jesus is what i believe about you.
  • 00:17:30.195 --> 00:17:34.666
  • I look at you.
  • 00:17:34.666 --> 00:17:38.437
  • I ain't looking at--i ain't looking at what you going--
  • 00:17:38.437 --> 00:17:40.305
  • Ain't looking at your journey right now.
  • 00:17:40.305 --> 00:17:43.175
  • Jesus is what i believe about you."
  • 00:17:43.175 --> 00:17:45.477
  • So what does god believe?
  • 00:17:45.477 --> 00:17:47.146
  • He believes jesus.
  • 00:17:47.146 --> 00:17:49.448
  • And so i'm gonna believe what he believes.
  • 00:17:49.448 --> 00:17:52.184
  • Jesus is what god believes about you.
  • 00:17:52.184 --> 00:17:56.155
  • Jesus is what i believe.
  • 00:17:56.155 --> 00:17:58.657
  • You didn't get that.
  • 00:17:58.657 --> 00:18:00.025
  • Jesus is what i believe. jesus is what i believe.
  • 00:18:00.025 --> 00:18:06.665
  • Jesus is what i believe.
  • 00:18:06.665 --> 00:18:09.134
  • Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith.
  • 00:18:13.205 --> 00:18:18.177
  • That's what i read it. that's what i heard.
  • 00:18:18.177 --> 00:18:20.012
  • Look at this. let's go to the greek.
  • 00:18:20.012 --> 00:18:22.681
  • Look at it.
  • 00:18:22.681 --> 00:18:24.917
  • Ladies and gentlemen, this is-- i've got, like, 10 minutes to go
  • 00:18:24.917 --> 00:18:28.453
  • And this is about to-- catch this now.
  • 00:18:28.453 --> 00:18:31.390
  • You did real good, some of you are still struggling and please
  • 00:18:31.390 --> 00:18:34.159
  • Understand this, if you don't listen to this and learn this,
  • 00:18:34.159 --> 00:18:37.429
  • You're stuck.
  • 00:18:37.429 --> 00:18:40.098
  • You're not gonna--you're not gonna get out of it.
  • 00:18:40.098 --> 00:18:42.668
  • You're paying the price to go to that next level.
  • 00:18:42.668 --> 00:18:49.274
  • But this is gonna come by hearing it.
  • 00:18:49.274 --> 00:18:50.909
  • And if all this is about just you coming to church to get god
  • 00:18:54.246 --> 00:18:58.016
  • To check off, you still missing it.
  • 00:18:58.016 --> 00:19:00.485
  • He's already checked off on you.
  • 00:19:00.485 --> 00:19:05.057
  • It's finished, it's completed and you're still trying to get
  • 00:19:05.057 --> 00:19:07.526
  • Him to check off you.
  • 00:19:07.526 --> 00:19:09.895
  • What i need to come so i can do my goody goody and the lord
  • 00:19:09.895 --> 00:19:12.297
  • Might be, i need-- i need a blessing.

  • You're blessed.
  • 00:19:13.899 --> 00:19:15.701
  • But you're still coming, trying to get a blessing.
  • 00:19:15.701 --> 00:19:17.736
  • You gotta move today.
  • 00:19:21.273 --> 00:19:22.774
  • Everybody gotta call the moving trucks today.
  • 00:19:22.774 --> 00:19:25.010
  • You're moving out of what he gonna do.
  • 00:19:25.010 --> 00:19:27.546
  • You're moving out, oh, if i do this, then he might do this.
  • 00:19:27.546 --> 00:19:30.649
  • You're moving out of your past.
  • 00:19:30.649 --> 00:19:33.318
  • You're moving into the realm of the finished.
  • 00:19:33.318 --> 00:19:36.321
  • You're moving into the realm of the completed.
  • 00:19:36.321 --> 00:19:40.792
  • I echo what's done.
  • 00:19:44.296 --> 00:19:46.765
  • And the glory is gonna start rising in your life.
  • 00:19:50.802 --> 00:19:53.305
  • And the favor's gonna start rising in your life,
  • 00:19:53.305 --> 00:19:56.308
  • [speaking in tongues],
  • 00:19:56.308 --> 00:19:59.111
  • Because you have finally located his address.
  • 00:19:59.111 --> 00:20:01.747
  • Hey, his address!
  • 00:20:04.583 --> 00:20:07.486
  • I know where he is now.
  • 00:20:07.486 --> 00:20:09.788
  • He's in the realm of the finished.
  • 00:20:09.788 --> 00:20:13.725
  • He's located in the dimension of the done.
  • 00:20:13.725 --> 00:20:17.162
  • He abides in the completed and what he has done.
  • 00:20:17.162 --> 00:20:22.467
  • No devil in hell and not even you are gonna undo what he
  • 00:20:22.467 --> 00:20:27.472
  • Has done.
  • 00:20:27.472 --> 00:20:28.840
  • So go ahead and receive it.
  • 00:20:28.840 --> 00:20:32.244
  • Go ahead and realize it.
  • 00:20:32.244 --> 00:20:42.354
  • A devil shows up in your bed tonight, you turn and
  • 00:20:46.425 --> 00:20:49.795
  • Say, "defeated.
  • 00:20:49.795 --> 00:20:52.764
  • I ain't scared of you.
  • 00:20:52.764 --> 00:20:54.833
  • I already know you done, boy.
  • 00:20:54.833 --> 00:20:56.368
  • You already cooked.
  • 00:20:56.368 --> 00:20:57.703
  • It's already finished.
  • 00:20:57.703 --> 00:20:59.071
  • You can't--you don't want none of me.
  • 00:20:59.071 --> 00:21:00.439
  • I don't live where i used to live.
  • 00:21:00.439 --> 00:21:02.507
  • I don't speak from where i used to speak from.
  • 00:21:02.507 --> 00:21:08.013
  • I ain't scared of you.
  • 00:21:08.013 --> 00:21:09.381
  • I ain't got no reason to fear.
  • 00:21:09.381 --> 00:21:10.716
  • Why am i gonna be afraid of something when i know it's
  • 00:21:10.716 --> 00:21:12.884
  • Already been done?"
  • 00:21:12.884 --> 00:21:14.286
  • Hallelujah, it's already finished.
  • 00:21:14.286 --> 00:21:20.225
  • So, hebrews chapter 12 and 2. all right now.
  • 00:21:24.196 --> 00:21:33.505
  • The hebrews chapter 12 and 2. here's the question.
  • 00:21:33.505 --> 00:21:35.474
  • Does it say that he's the author and the finisher of, watch this,
  • 00:21:35.474 --> 00:21:40.278
  • Big word, caps, our faith?
  • 00:21:40.278 --> 00:21:43.215
  • Oh, he's the author and the finisher of our faith?
  • 00:21:47.285 --> 00:21:51.356
  • "looking unto jesus the author and finisher of our faith"?
  • 00:21:54.593 --> 00:22:00.866
  • That's how i've always quoted it, but when you look it up in
  • 00:22:00.866 --> 00:22:03.935
  • The greek, it says, "looking unto the faith founder
  • 00:22:03.935 --> 00:22:08.206
  • And finisher."
  • 00:22:08.206 --> 00:22:12.077
  • He is the founder and the finisher of the faith.
  • 00:22:12.077 --> 00:22:17.749
  • What do you mean "the faith"?
  • 00:22:17.749 --> 00:22:19.084
  • The one faith.
  • 00:22:19.084 --> 00:22:21.153
  • Now that tells me there is no other faith that exists.
  • 00:22:21.153 --> 00:22:25.757
  • It's not his faith in our faith.
  • 00:22:25.757 --> 00:22:29.594
  • No, he is the faith.
  • 00:22:29.594 --> 00:22:31.596
  • He is the one faith.
  • 00:22:31.596 --> 00:22:33.331
  • He is the founder and the finisher.
  • 00:22:33.331 --> 00:22:37.335
  • I love this other translation, the mirror bible translation
  • 00:22:37.335 --> 00:22:39.838
  • Says this: "he is the fountainhead and conclusion
  • 00:22:39.838 --> 00:22:44.609
  • Of faith."
  • 00:22:44.609 --> 00:22:46.678
  • Oh my goodness, the fountainhead and the conclusion.
  • 00:22:46.678 --> 00:22:50.582
  • The one faith flows out from him as the source, and ends or
  • 00:22:50.582 --> 00:22:58.623
  • Finishes in him.
  • 00:22:58.623 --> 00:23:00.759
  • It flows out of him as the source and ends or finishes
  • 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:05.363
  • In him.
