  • The water and all the storms are going on, and jesus showed up
  • 00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:17.464
  • And calmed the storm and he said this, "why is it that you have
  • 00:00:17.464 --> 00:00:21.701
  • No faith?"
  • 00:00:21.701 --> 00:00:23.136
  • You know what he's saying?

  • Creflo: jesus made his mind up to forgive you before you even
  • 00:01:48.755 --> 00:01:51.891
  • Formed into a fetus.
  • 00:01:51.891 --> 00:01:53.326
  • When you came here, you were forgiven.
  • 00:01:53.326 --> 00:01:57.764
  • Y'all don't understand what i'm saying.
  • 00:01:57.764 --> 00:01:59.432
  • He's not forgiven you, you know, you go and you mess up and you
  • 00:01:59.432 --> 00:02:02.936
  • Say, "oh lord, i messed up," and there's some things you
  • 00:02:02.936 --> 00:02:05.939
  • Don't realize.
  • 00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:07.307
  • So you say, "oh lord, i messed up.
  • 00:02:07.307 --> 00:02:08.875
  • Oh god, please forgive me," but you don't realize.
  • 00:02:08.875 --> 00:02:10.810
  • What are you--what is it you don't--you don't realize that
  • 00:02:10.810 --> 00:02:13.346
  • He already forgave you.
  • 00:02:13.346 --> 00:02:14.881
  • So there's something that has to happen.
  • 00:02:14.881 --> 00:02:16.482
  • You got to realize what already is.
  • 00:02:16.482 --> 00:02:22.021
  • You think god is present tense, present time, right now, oh
  • 00:02:22.021 --> 00:02:29.095
  • Lord, forgive me.
  • 00:02:29.095 --> 00:02:30.463
  • And then you say, "forgive me," and then you pretend you heard
  • 00:02:30.463 --> 00:02:32.665
  • Him say, "okay, i'll do it right now."
  • 00:02:32.665 --> 00:02:35.235
  • But you're not gonna hear him say that.
  • 00:02:35.235 --> 00:02:36.569
  • What you gonna hear him say when you're gonna say, "lord, forgive
  • 00:02:36.569 --> 00:02:38.171
  • Me," he's gonna say, "forgiven."
  • 00:02:38.171 --> 00:02:40.873
  • He responds to you--he responds to you in the aorist tense.
  • 00:02:40.873 --> 00:02:49.482
  • He's not responding you in the present tense.
  • 00:02:49.482 --> 00:02:52.719
  • He's not even responding you in the past tense.
  • 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.555
  • He responds to you in the tense of the finished.
  • 00:02:55.555 --> 00:03:01.794
  • Any time you talk to god, he gonna talk to you about
  • 00:03:01.794 --> 00:03:04.163
  • The finished.
  • 00:03:04.163 --> 00:03:05.531
  • "oh lord, make me righteous."
  • 00:03:05.531 --> 00:03:06.866
  • "you're righteous."
  • 00:03:06.866 --> 00:03:08.234
  • You remember when abraham did that?
  • 00:03:08.234 --> 00:03:09.802
  • "lord, i believe, make--" "you're righteous," because he
  • 00:03:09.802 --> 00:03:14.474
  • Did all that before you were born.
  • 00:03:14.474 --> 00:03:16.643
  • Nothing we do surprises god.
  • 00:03:16.643 --> 00:03:19.012
  • It's not like you do something, now god gotta figure out a way
  • 00:03:19.012 --> 00:03:21.681
  • To work this thing out.
  • 00:03:21.681 --> 00:03:24.717
  • You did something, now god got, "oh, lord--"
  • 00:03:24.717 --> 00:03:26.753
  • God like--it ain't like god, "oh lord, they done messed
  • 00:03:26.753 --> 00:03:28.888
  • Up again.
  • 00:03:28.888 --> 00:03:30.256
  • Come on, y'all, let's do this.
  • 00:03:30.256 --> 00:03:31.691
  • He--it's finished.
  • 00:03:31.691 --> 00:03:36.596
  • You and i have got to come into this new realm, this realm
  • 00:03:36.596 --> 00:03:41.367
  • Of the finished.
  • 00:03:41.367 --> 00:03:42.735
  • We gotta start operating from the place of the finished.
  • 00:03:42.735 --> 00:03:45.371
  • We gotta start moving from the place of the finished.
  • 00:03:45.371 --> 00:03:47.940
  • When something is finished, it's completely done.
  • 00:03:47.940 --> 00:03:50.543
  • It is done, it's over, and watch this, and it cannot be undone.
  • 00:03:50.543 --> 00:03:54.414
  • You cannot undo what god has already done.
  • 00:03:54.414 --> 00:03:57.817
  • And the reason why a lot of people don't receive it is
  • 00:03:57.817 --> 00:04:01.220
  • Because they don't realize it.
  • 00:04:01.220 --> 00:04:04.924
  • And i need you to realize it.
  • 00:04:08.594 --> 00:04:10.296
  • And you're tempted because of your mindset and religion,
  • 00:04:10.296 --> 00:04:12.865
  • You're tempted to say, every time you do something, "oh god,
  • 00:04:12.865 --> 00:04:16.069
  • Forgive me."
  • 00:04:16.069 --> 00:04:17.403
  • And you hear people say, "you know what?
  • 00:04:17.403 --> 00:04:18.771
  • You're not forgiven until you confess it.
  • 00:04:18.771 --> 00:04:21.974
  • You gotta confess it first and then you're forgiven."
  • 00:04:21.974 --> 00:04:24.644
  • Now god says, "no, you don't understand.
  • 00:04:24.644 --> 00:04:27.380
  • What i did is done.
  • 00:04:27.380 --> 00:04:32.218
  • Everything i was gonna do for you, i already did for you.
  • 00:04:32.218 --> 00:04:38.825
  • And if you're gonna walk in the peace of what's already done,
  • 00:04:38.825 --> 00:04:41.694
  • You gotta realize that when i gave you jesus, i gave
  • 00:04:41.694 --> 00:04:45.932
  • You everything.
  • 00:04:45.932 --> 00:04:47.300
  • I gave you your forgiveness, i gave you your healing.
  • 00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:50.136
  • It's already done, it's finished, it's completed, it--"
  • 00:04:50.136 --> 00:05:00.780
  • Our receiving that truth means, oh wow.
  • 00:05:04.650 --> 00:05:12.225
  • I just thought about something.
  • 00:05:12.225 --> 00:05:15.061
  • When you understand something, you receive it.
  • 00:05:15.061 --> 00:05:17.029
  • I've always wondered if somebody said, "receive it."
  • 00:05:17.029 --> 00:05:19.832
  • It's hard to receive something that you don't understand.
  • 00:05:19.832 --> 00:05:22.135
  • That's why proverbs 4 and 7 says, "in all your getting."
  • 00:05:25.371 --> 00:05:32.512
  • If you're gonna get healing, understand you're healed.
  • 00:05:32.512 --> 00:05:35.248
  • If you're gonna get forgiveness, understand forgiven.
  • 00:05:35.248 --> 00:05:37.984
  • If you're gonna get whatever, understand it's finished.
  • 00:05:37.984 --> 00:05:40.486
  • Understand the finish, understand the aorist tense.
  • 00:05:40.486 --> 00:05:43.589
  • Understand it is already done.
  • 00:05:43.589 --> 00:05:45.224
  • "in all your getting, get understanding," 'cause you're
  • 00:05:45.224 --> 00:05:49.896
  • Not gonna really get or receive without no understanding.
  • 00:05:49.896 --> 00:05:53.699
  • But the more i can bring you understanding, the more you
  • 00:05:53.699 --> 00:05:55.701
  • Can receive.
  • 00:05:55.701 --> 00:05:57.170
  • And it doesn't take some religious rhetoric to--that you
  • 00:05:57.170 --> 00:06:01.140
  • Got to do to get it.
  • 00:06:01.140 --> 00:06:04.277
  • You don't understand, we have been trained in what you got to
  • 00:06:04.277 --> 00:06:07.580
  • Do to get it.
  • 00:06:07.580 --> 00:06:09.916
  • And god's like, "who do you think you are?
  • 00:06:09.916 --> 00:06:12.485
  • I have done it.
  • 00:06:12.485 --> 00:06:14.754
  • It is done. it is finished, can't be undone.
  • 00:06:14.754 --> 00:06:17.190
  • It ain't you doing nothing. you couldn't do nothing.
  • 00:06:17.190 --> 00:06:20.026
  • Look at what you did in the first covenant.
  • 00:06:20.026 --> 00:06:21.961
  • Look at how y'all mess it up.
  • 00:06:21.961 --> 00:06:23.663
  • Mankind was a mess.
  • 00:06:23.663 --> 00:06:25.598
  • So i have come and i've done this for all of mankind."
  • 00:06:25.598 --> 00:06:29.168
  • He gave the whole world jesus.
  • 00:06:29.168 --> 00:06:31.170
  • "i have come for all mankind and i have finished righteousness
  • 00:06:31.170 --> 00:06:34.340
  • For every man on the planet.
  • 00:06:34.340 --> 00:06:35.975
  • I have finished deliverance for every man on the planet."
  • 00:06:35.975 --> 00:06:38.778
  • Well, i'm still sick.
  • 00:06:38.778 --> 00:06:40.112
  • "because you ain't realized that healing is a finished work.
  • 00:06:40.112 --> 00:06:44.817
  • Not even past tense, it's done.
  • 00:06:44.817 --> 00:06:47.086
  • That your healing can't be undone.
  • 00:06:47.086 --> 00:06:49.288
  • Your deliverance can't be undone, your prosperity can't
  • 00:06:49.288 --> 00:06:52.058
  • Be undone.
  • 00:06:52.058 --> 00:06:53.392
  • You keep walking around here trying to do something."
  • 00:06:53.392 --> 00:06:55.761
  • How insulting.
  • 00:06:55.761 --> 00:06:58.531
  • So i'm retraining my thinking.
  • 00:07:02.201 --> 00:07:04.070
  • I'm getting up and say, i live in the realm of the finished.
  • 00:07:04.070 --> 00:07:08.975
  • My victory is finished.
  • 00:07:08.975 --> 00:07:10.776
  • If there's a fight, it's finished.
  • 00:07:10.776 --> 00:07:13.980
  • Can i jump ahead just for a moment?
  • 00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:16.415
  • May i do this for just a moment?
  • 00:07:16.415 --> 00:07:18.484
  • And you don't have to receive it now, because we'll go over it
  • 00:07:18.484 --> 00:07:20.853
  • Again at a later date.
  • 00:07:20.853 --> 00:07:23.089
  • But there, it took me 43 years to realize that there are 4 easy
  • 00:07:23.089 --> 00:07:29.495
  • Steps in living a life of faith and moving in the glory.
  • 00:07:29.495 --> 00:07:34.567
  • You want them?
  • 00:07:34.567 --> 00:07:36.469
  • 'cause i believe somebody gonna use this this week.
  • 00:07:40.573 --> 00:07:44.744
  • All right, do you understand what i mean when i say, you
  • 00:07:44.744 --> 00:07:48.281
  • Know, jesus got on the cross and he said, "it is finished"?
  • 00:07:48.281 --> 00:07:51.817
  • And then people have interpreted it all kinds of ways.
  • 00:07:51.817 --> 00:07:53.686
  • "well, his life is over."
  • 00:07:53.686 --> 00:07:55.054
  • No, no, no.
  • 00:07:55.054 --> 00:07:56.389
  • He said, "no man-- no man took my life.
  • 00:07:56.389 --> 00:07:58.257
  • I gave it away.
  • 00:07:58.257 --> 00:07:59.592
  • If i didn't give it away, nobody could.
  • 00:07:59.592 --> 00:08:00.960
  • I--" so everything is finished.
  • 00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:03.596
  • Everything that's wrong with you, everything you wanna make
  • 00:08:03.596 --> 00:08:05.998
  • Right, everything you wanna do, everything you need: done,
  • 00:08:05.998 --> 00:08:10.102
  • Finished, completed, can't be undone.
  • 00:08:10.102 --> 00:08:14.240
  • The first step is you got to realize what's finished.
  • 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:21.080
  • And what's finished, ladies and gentlemen?
  • 00:08:21.080 --> 00:08:23.649
  • Everything. everything.
  • 00:08:23.649 --> 00:08:25.651
  • It's so shocking if you read ephesians 1, you see all that
  • 00:08:25.651 --> 00:08:28.187
  • Stuff, you've already been blessed with spiritual blessing.
  • 00:08:28.187 --> 00:08:30.222
  • I've already decided to make you a son before you ever got here.
  • 00:08:30.222 --> 00:08:33.059
  • I decided to forgive you.
  • 00:08:33.059 --> 00:08:34.393
  • All of the stuff he decided to do before you were born.
  • 00:08:34.393 --> 00:08:38.631
  • So the first thing you gotta do is anything you encounter, you
  • 00:08:38.631 --> 00:08:41.033
  • Got to say and realize it's finished.
  • 00:08:41.033 --> 00:08:43.603
  • You have to start living in the realm of the finished.
  • 00:08:43.603 --> 00:08:50.109
  • That's number one.
  • 00:08:50.109 --> 00:08:51.444
  • Number two, after you realize, receive.
  • 00:08:51.444 --> 00:08:56.916
  • Now, watch this.
  • 00:08:56.916 --> 00:08:58.317
  • Your receiving is going to be limited to your understanding.
  • 00:08:58.317 --> 00:09:04.256
  • So the more you understand, just go through all the promises in
  • 00:09:04.256 --> 00:09:07.793
  • The new testament and it's finished.
  • 00:09:07.793 --> 00:09:11.163
  • So, once you understand it, by pure fact, by--through your
  • 00:09:11.163 --> 00:09:14.300
  • Understanding, you've received.
  • 00:09:14.300 --> 00:09:16.702
  • Number three, rest.
  • 00:09:16.702 --> 00:09:20.172
  • If it is finished, you should not be laboring to do nothing
  • 00:09:20.172 --> 00:09:24.910
  • But rest.
  • 00:09:24.910 --> 00:09:26.245
  • You got to learn how to rest in confidence in what's
  • 00:09:26.245 --> 00:09:29.215
  • Already done.
  • 00:09:29.215 --> 00:09:30.583
  • You got to labor to rest.
  • 00:09:30.583 --> 00:09:32.985
  • Something comes up, labor to rest, rest, rest, rest.
  • 00:09:32.985 --> 00:09:39.158
  • You're not trying to do to get to finish what he's
  • 00:09:39.158 --> 00:09:41.994
  • Already finished.
  • 00:09:41.994 --> 00:09:43.329
  • "well, i need to do this so god can do that.
  • 00:09:43.329 --> 00:09:45.031
  • I need to do that."
  • 00:09:45.031 --> 00:09:46.365
  • That's over. it's finished.
  • 00:09:46.365 --> 00:09:48.567
  • He didn't ask you for your help, and you couldn't--you didn't
  • 00:09:48.567 --> 00:09:51.370
  • Bring nothing to the table.
  • 00:09:51.370 --> 00:09:52.738
  • Righteousness, redemption, peace, all that came directly
  • 00:09:52.738 --> 00:09:57.276
  • From him.
  • 00:09:57.276 --> 00:09:58.644
  • He is the source of everything that's finished.
  • 00:09:58.644 --> 00:10:02.314
  • Ain't nothing else left to do but rest.
  • 00:10:02.314 --> 00:10:07.286
  • And rest doesn't mean, you know, idleness.
  • 00:10:07.286 --> 00:10:12.692
  • It means i am resting in confidence and assurance that
  • 00:10:12.692 --> 00:10:17.063
  • This is done, so i'm not gonna try to do it.
  • 00:10:17.063 --> 00:10:20.666
  • "oh well, i'm just such a gossiper.
  • 00:10:20.666 --> 00:10:22.802
  • I need to do this and i need to do that."
  • 00:10:22.802 --> 00:10:24.770
  • See, see how your mind think?
  • 00:10:24.770 --> 00:10:26.305
  • No, your deliverance is finished.
  • 00:10:26.305 --> 00:10:29.475
  • So you got to dwell in the realm of, oh, i'm--deliverance
  • 00:10:29.475 --> 00:10:33.045
  • Is finished.
  • 00:10:33.045 --> 00:10:35.214
  • Yeah, you're tempted to say, "now i got to do something
  • 00:10:35.214 --> 00:10:38.184
  • About that."
  • 00:10:38.184 --> 00:10:39.518
  • You just stepped out of the realm of the finished.
  • 00:10:39.518 --> 00:10:43.656
  • Here's the fourth thing to do.
  • 00:10:43.656 --> 00:10:45.624
  • Now, while you're resting, while you've received, because you
  • 00:10:45.624 --> 00:10:49.729
  • Understand, and while you realize, you still got a devil
  • 00:10:49.729 --> 00:10:53.199
  • Loose who's gonna try to attack you, distract you, and take you
  • 00:10:53.199 --> 00:10:59.038
  • Out of--his job is to take you out of the realm of the
  • 00:10:59.038 --> 00:11:00.906
  • Finished.
  • 00:11:00.906 --> 00:11:02.475
  • The word "have" in the book of mark chapter 11, when he says,
  • 00:11:02.475 --> 00:11:06.345
  • "have faith in god," that word, shandra, means echo.
  • 00:11:06.345 --> 00:11:13.819
  • It comes from a greek word that we get the word "echo" from.
  • 00:11:13.819 --> 00:11:17.656
  • When jesus had the disciples in the middle of the water and all
  • 00:11:17.656 --> 00:11:21.327
  • The storms are going on, and jesus showed up and calmed the
  • 00:11:21.327 --> 00:11:23.929
  • Storm and he said this: "why is it that you have no faith?"
  • 00:11:23.929 --> 00:11:29.235
  • You know what he's saying?
  • 00:11:29.235 --> 00:11:30.569
  • There's a storm.
  • 00:11:30.569 --> 00:11:31.904
  • Why is it that you're not echoing your faith?
  • 00:11:31.904 --> 00:11:37.243
  • So when the trouble comes, open your mouth up and state
  • 00:11:37.243 --> 00:11:41.447
  • The finished.
  • 00:11:41.447 --> 00:11:43.315
  • When you're standing in front of a mountain, and that's what in
  • 00:11:47.520 --> 00:11:50.156
  • Mark chapter 11 he talks about this mountain, when you're
  • 00:11:50.156 --> 00:11:52.358
  • Standing in front of a mountain, why are you not echoing
  • 00:11:52.358 --> 00:11:56.028
  • What's finished?
  • 00:11:56.028 --> 00:11:59.198
  • Echo what's finished.
  • 00:11:59.198 --> 00:12:01.901
  • Not--you're not saying it to try to get it to happen.
  • 00:12:01.901 --> 00:12:04.937
  • It's already happened.
  • 00:12:04.937 --> 00:12:07.106
  • And so if trouble shows up to try to take you out of the
  • 00:12:07.106 --> 00:12:10.643
  • Finish, you just echo hey, echo finish, echo healed, echo
  • 00:12:10.643 --> 00:12:17.750
  • Delivered, echo forgiven, echo.
  • 00:12:17.750 --> 00:12:20.853
  • He said whenever trouble shows up, we ought to be echoing what
  • 00:12:20.853 --> 00:12:26.258
  • Jesus said when he said, "it is finished."
  • 00:12:26.258 --> 00:12:39.872
  • We'll develop that as we go on.
  • 00:12:43.542 --> 00:12:45.744
  • But just in case some of y'all wanna kick that devil's butt
  • 00:12:45.744 --> 00:12:49.815
  • Today, realize it.
  • 00:12:49.815 --> 00:12:55.621
  • You need to walk out of here today realizing, "oh my god,
  • 00:12:55.621 --> 00:12:58.157
  • That's done too."
  • 00:12:58.157 --> 00:12:59.525
  • And then you say, "well, lord, i need a--well, that's done too.
  • 00:12:59.525 --> 00:13:03.729
  • Well, well, lord, i know i need to do this, so i need--no,
  • 00:13:03.729 --> 00:13:06.498
  • That's done too.
  • 00:13:06.498 --> 00:13:07.833
  • Now what i need to do, i need to, i need to pray more so you
  • 00:13:07.833 --> 00:13:10.202
  • Can--whoa."
  • 00:13:10.202 --> 00:13:11.570
  • See, now you can finally get prayer in the right place, and
  • 00:13:11.570 --> 00:13:15.074
  • Praying in the right place is i can't help but to praise and
  • 00:13:15.074 --> 00:13:19.411
  • Thank you for what you've already done.
  • 00:13:19.411 --> 00:13:23.482
  • Hey, i got to thank you for what's already done.
  • 00:13:23.482 --> 00:13:27.386
  • Thank you that it's finished.
  • 00:13:27.386 --> 00:13:29.188
  • Thank you that i'm heal--
  • 00:13:29.188 --> 00:13:30.656
  • Oh, glory to god.
  • 00:13:30.656 --> 00:13:33.525
  • Our receiving that truth means we grasp it.
  • 00:13:37.396 --> 00:13:43.068
  • We're now free in our thinking to experience the finished.
  • 00:13:43.068 --> 00:13:49.975
  • It's gotta be grasped.
  • 00:13:49.975 --> 00:13:52.711
  • And most church folks hadn't grasped it because religion has
  • 00:13:52.711 --> 00:13:55.915
  • Taught us to do this, to do that, to do this, to do that, to
  • 00:13:55.915 --> 00:14:00.586
  • Do that.
  • 00:14:00.586 --> 00:14:01.954
  • And like taffi was telling me the other day, why would you
  • 00:14:01.954 --> 00:14:04.523
  • Wanna repeat and try to do something that jesus has did and
  • 00:14:04.523 --> 00:14:09.328
  • Already done?
  • 00:14:09.328 --> 00:14:10.663
  • She said, "it makes no sense."
  • 00:14:10.663 --> 00:14:13.332
  • That's why it's called religion.
  • 00:14:13.332 --> 00:14:16.335
  • In the latin, the word "religion" means a return
  • 00:14:16.335 --> 00:14:19.204
  • To bondage.
  • 00:14:19.204 --> 00:14:23.342
  • So, religion has kept us bound when the thing's already
  • 00:14:23.342 --> 00:14:28.280
  • Been finished.
  • 00:14:28.280 --> 00:14:32.818
  • The aorist is a completed action that took place at a point
  • 00:14:36.956 --> 00:14:44.463
  • In time.
  • 00:14:44.463 --> 00:14:46.532
  • And so when did god forgive?
  • 00:14:46.532 --> 00:14:49.735
  • On the cross.
  • 00:14:49.735 --> 00:14:51.603
  • It was finished, it was fleshed out in a sense, in time, 2,000
  • 00:14:51.603 --> 00:15:00.713
  • Years ago.
  • 00:15:00.713 --> 00:15:02.548
  • But the cross is eternal, which means he's completely forgiven
  • 00:15:02.548 --> 00:15:09.355
  • All mankind before time ever began.
  • 00:15:09.355 --> 00:15:18.063
  • That sounds strange to christian folks because they always think
  • 00:15:18.063 --> 00:15:20.099
  • That their fraternity is greater than everybody else.
  • 00:15:20.099 --> 00:15:25.904
  • But jesus didn't come just to forgive your fraternity.
  • 00:15:25.904 --> 00:15:30.676
  • He came, it's over--it's all over scripture.
  • 00:15:30.676 --> 00:15:33.512
  • Jesus came to forgive the whole world.
  • 00:15:33.512 --> 00:15:37.483
  • "for god so loved the world."
  • 00:15:37.483 --> 00:15:41.987
  • So what about that guy who's walking around, don't think god
  • 00:15:41.987 --> 00:15:47.626
  • Forgave him?
  • 00:15:47.626 --> 00:15:48.994
  • He hadn't realized it yet.
  • 00:15:48.994 --> 00:15:51.730
  • What about making disciples?
  • 00:15:51.730 --> 00:15:53.265
  • Getting people to realize it's done.
  • 00:15:53.265 --> 00:15:56.969
  • Getting people to realize they're forgiven.
  • 00:15:56.969 --> 00:15:59.805
  • Getting people to realize that god loves them.
  • 00:16:03.175 --> 00:16:06.645
  • Getting people to realize, but we turned the whole issue into a
  • 00:16:06.645 --> 00:16:10.616
  • Heaven and hell issue.
  • 00:16:10.616 --> 00:16:12.217
  • And romans 10 and 8 says: "the righteousness of god doesn't say
  • 00:16:12.217 --> 00:16:16.221
  • Who shall go to hell or who shall go to heaven.
  • 00:16:16.221 --> 00:16:19.558
  • The righteousness of god is nigh thee even in your mouth."
  • 00:16:19.558 --> 00:16:26.298
  • But we keep making it a heaven and hell issue because we really
  • 00:16:26.298 --> 00:16:29.068
  • Wanna get somebody back.
  • 00:16:29.068 --> 00:16:30.402
  • I've been living a hard time, y'all been living a good time.
  • 00:16:30.402 --> 00:16:32.237
  • You're going to hell, i'm going to heaven.
  • 00:16:32.237 --> 00:16:34.139
  • And jesus came, jesus came to change all that.
  • 00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:37.443
  • Jesus came to say anybody that will realize--anybody that will
  • 00:16:37.443 --> 00:16:47.386
  • Realize and start living in the finished, his whole life can
  • 00:16:47.386 --> 00:16:50.689
  • Turn around.
  • 00:16:50.689 --> 00:16:52.424
  • I--really, really think about how did you and i get saved?
  • 00:16:52.424 --> 00:16:56.095
  • We came to a point where we realized something, didn't we,
  • 00:16:56.095 --> 00:16:58.864
  • All right?
  • 00:16:58.864 --> 00:17:00.232
  • Okay, once you realized that you were saved, right there.
  • 00:17:00.232 --> 00:17:04.103
  • Do you actually think going to the prayer room and saying that
  • 00:17:04.103 --> 00:17:06.371
  • Prayer after that dude was the magic powder that got it done?
  • 00:17:06.371 --> 00:17:10.742
  • No, no, but that's what we've been trained.
  • 00:17:10.742 --> 00:17:13.745
  • "you've got to say this."
  • 00:17:13.745 --> 00:17:18.217
  • Without understanding that once you realize something from your
  • 00:17:18.217 --> 00:17:21.220
  • Heart, you're gonna confess it.
  • 00:17:21.220 --> 00:17:25.457
  • Everything proceeds from your heart.
  • 00:17:25.457 --> 00:17:26.859
  • I confess this from my heart.
  • 00:17:26.859 --> 00:17:29.361
  • We've turned everything into a little trick.
  • 00:17:29.361 --> 00:17:32.764
  • There's something you got to do to make you feel like you were
  • 00:17:32.764 --> 00:17:35.267
  • Part of it.
  • 00:17:35.267 --> 00:17:36.602
  • And god already told you, you didn't bring nothing to
  • 00:17:36.602 --> 00:17:38.036
  • The table.
  • 00:17:38.036 --> 00:17:40.806
  • You were part of the finished and we won't even become a part
  • 00:17:40.806 --> 00:17:44.610
  • Of the finished.
  • 00:17:44.610 --> 00:17:46.245
  • Because religious doctrine tells us you got to do this in order,
  • 00:17:46.245 --> 00:17:50.649
  • He did this; you gotta do that in order for that to happen.
  • 00:17:50.649 --> 00:17:53.085
  • You gotta do this in order for that to happen.
  • 00:17:53.085 --> 00:17:54.853
  • And if you don't do this and you don't do that, then you
  • 00:17:54.853 --> 00:18:00.259
  • Better watch out.
  • 00:18:00.259 --> 00:18:02.461
  • You better not cry.
  • 00:18:02.461 --> 00:18:06.398
  • I realized that.
  • 00:18:09.801 --> 00:18:11.136
  • I asked myself a question, okay, so what if i'm on a deserted
  • 00:18:11.136 --> 00:18:14.106
  • Island and i have this wow moment in my heart where all of
  • 00:18:14.106 --> 00:18:19.077
  • A sudden i believe in god, so i'm going to hell because nobody
  • 00:18:19.077 --> 00:18:24.750
  • Was there to take me to the prayer room
  • 00:18:24.750 --> 00:18:26.218
  • To say this after them?
  • 00:18:26.218 --> 00:18:30.222
  • Or what if i can't talk?
  • 00:18:30.222 --> 00:18:32.925
  • This is a heart issue.
  • 00:18:36.461 --> 00:18:39.865
  • And religion has captured our mind and gave us
  • 00:18:39.865 --> 00:18:43.068
  • Traditional mindset.
  • 00:18:43.068 --> 00:18:45.871
  • And by hearing just what you're hearing right now, some of you
  • 00:18:45.871 --> 00:18:49.341
  • May be getting it, but some of you like, "okay, pastor, woo!"
  • 00:18:49.341 --> 00:18:54.947
  • 'cause you're coming up with questions to satisfy that
  • 00:18:54.947 --> 00:18:58.483
  • Traditional mindset, "yeah, but what about."
  • 00:18:58.483 --> 00:19:03.088
  • And i'm telling you it's finished, it's done.
  • 00:19:03.088 --> 00:19:05.824
  • Quit all that, "what about?"
  • 00:19:05.824 --> 00:19:07.192
  • Get into the realm of the finished.
  • 00:19:07.192 --> 00:19:09.194
  • Get into the realm of the done.
  • 00:19:09.194 --> 00:19:10.862
  • Get into the realm of the completed.
  • 00:19:10.862 --> 00:19:12.764
  • I receive it, jesus.
  • 00:19:12.764 --> 00:19:14.433
  • You did it, jesus, i take you.
  • 00:19:14.433 --> 00:19:16.068
  • You're my everything.
  • 00:19:16.068 --> 00:19:17.402
  • I take you, lord, i take you, i take you, i take you.
  • 00:19:17.402 --> 00:19:20.172
  • All mankind before time ever began, before adam fell, he was
  • 00:19:24.343 --> 00:19:30.082
  • Completely and fully forgiven.
  • 00:19:30.082 --> 00:19:32.217
  • Think of that.
  • 00:19:32.217 --> 00:19:34.219
  • Religious people sent adam to hell, you know that, don't you?
  • 00:19:34.219 --> 00:19:38.423
  • Before humanity ever sinned, they were forgiven.
  • 00:19:42.461 --> 00:19:47.199
  • It's finished.
  • 00:19:47.199 --> 00:19:49.735
  • It can't be undone.
  • 00:19:49.735 --> 00:19:51.169
  • That's why this gospel is the almost-too-good-to-be-true news.
  • 00:19:51.169 --> 00:19:55.674
  • Another essential element of the greek grammar that we need to
  • 00:19:58.910 --> 00:20:03.849
  • Understand is something, if you put it up, it's called the
  • 00:20:03.849 --> 00:20:07.119
  • Genitive possessive and basically we'll look at the
  • 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.556
  • Genitive possessive of the case of nouns, but when you see this,
  • 00:20:11.556 --> 00:20:19.698
  • And when you see this in the greek language, it talks
  • 00:20:19.698 --> 00:20:25.070
  • About ownership.
  • 00:20:25.070 --> 00:20:26.405
  • Somebody's got to own that noun.
  • 00:20:26.405 --> 00:20:29.775
  • One noun, if you will, has got to own that other noun.
  • 00:20:29.775 --> 00:20:32.811
  • That one person's got to own that thing.
  • 00:20:32.811 --> 00:20:35.914
  • That's what it says in the language.
  • 00:20:35.914 --> 00:20:37.816
  • In our english bible, the word "of," o-f, that's usually added
  • 00:20:37.816 --> 00:20:43.822
  • In the translation to help the verse read easier.
  • 00:20:43.822 --> 00:20:47.859
  • And although at times the different prepositional phrases
  • 00:20:47.859 --> 00:20:51.863
  • That we use, these are words that connect phrases and clauses
  • 00:20:51.863 --> 00:20:55.200
  • Together, the translator may use the word "in."
  • 00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:02.941
  • Now, i want you to go to romans 3:22.
  • 00:21:02.941 --> 00:21:06.445
  • I want to show you this.
  • 00:21:06.445 --> 00:21:10.215
  • So there is something that happens when we look at having
  • 00:21:14.386 --> 00:21:18.457
  • Faith in jesus and having the faith of jesus.
  • 00:21:18.457 --> 00:21:23.762
  • Somebody says, "don't--please don't make a big deal out
  • 00:21:23.762 --> 00:21:25.597
  • Of that."
  • 00:21:25.597 --> 00:21:26.932
  • It's a big deal.
  • 00:21:26.932 --> 00:21:28.734
  • 'cause when i have the faith of jesus, then it's a gift.
  • 00:21:28.734 --> 00:21:34.706
  • But when i have to have faith in jesus, it seems like i got to
  • 00:21:34.706 --> 00:21:38.243
  • Do something.
  • 00:21:38.243 --> 00:21:40.178
  • Listen carefully.
  • 00:21:40.178 --> 00:21:41.546
  • Romans 3:22.
  • 00:21:41.546 --> 00:21:44.116
  • He says, "even the righteousness of god, through faith in jesus
  • 00:21:44.116 --> 00:21:48.387
  • Christ, to all and," he says,
  • 00:21:48.387 --> 00:21:55.660
  • "to all and on all who believe.
  • 00:21:55.660 --> 00:21:59.164
  • For there is no difference."
  • 00:21:59.164 --> 00:22:02.100
  • Now, the phrase is consistently rendered in english translation
  • 00:22:02.100 --> 00:22:06.571
  • As faith in jesus christ.
  • 00:22:06.571 --> 00:22:10.409
  • But the greek translation says the faith of jesus christ, or
  • 00:22:10.409 --> 00:22:16.782
  • Literally, jesus's faith.
  • 00:22:16.782 --> 00:22:19.885
  • Pistis iesou christou, which means the faith of christ or
  • 00:22:19.885 --> 00:22:25.557
  • Jesus christ's faith.
  • 00:22:25.557 --> 00:22:28.593
  • Oh, so both of the nouns, faith and jesus christ, are
  • 00:22:28.593 --> 00:22:34.366
  • Genitive possessive.
  • 00:22:34.366 --> 00:22:36.635
  • Now remember, the genitive possession, it
  • 00:22:36.635 --> 00:22:39.104
  • Denotes ownership.
  • 00:22:39.104 --> 00:22:40.472
  • This is what it means in this scripture, that jesus owns
  • 00:22:40.472 --> 00:22:43.308
  • The faith.
  • 00:22:43.308 --> 00:22:47.312
  • Jesus owns the faith, but when you translate it as in, it makes
  • 00:22:47.312 --> 00:22:53.852
  • It sound like we need to put our faith in jesus, and we miss the
  • 00:22:53.852 --> 00:22:59.357
  • Importance of understanding that the faith belongs to jesus.
  • 00:22:59.357 --> 00:23:03.495
  • It is his.
  • 00:23:03.495 --> 00:23:06.298
  • Announcer: what is faith and what happens to your spiritual

  • He is the faith.
  • 00:23:23.648 --> 00:23:25.183
  • He is the one faith.
  • 00:23:25.183 --> 00:23:26.785
  • He is the founder and the finisher.
  • 00:23:26.785 --> 00:23:28.820
  • The faith we have is his faith in us.
  • 00:23:28.820 --> 00:23:33.625
  • It is a finished faith.
  • 00:23:33.625 --> 00:23:35.994

  • 00:23:35.994 --> 00:23:38.964
