  • Creflo: okay, so now let's examine this in the old
  • 00:01:50.056 --> 00:01:52.058
  • Testament first, and then in the new testament, see what we find
  • 00:01:52.058 --> 00:01:54.761
  • Out there in the old covenant.
  • 00:01:54.761 --> 00:01:58.631
  • In the old covenant, and what i said examine, let's examine
  • 00:01:58.631 --> 00:02:01.334
  • The presence.
  • 00:02:01.334 --> 00:02:02.702
  • In the old covenant, the presence of god, it came and
  • 00:02:02.702 --> 00:02:05.572
  • Then it went.
  • 00:02:05.572 --> 00:02:07.507
  • The spirit of god came heavily upon such and so, such and so,
  • 00:02:07.507 --> 00:02:11.477
  • And then it went.
  • 00:02:11.477 --> 00:02:13.846
  • The spirit of the lord came heavily upon elijah and he
  • 00:02:13.846 --> 00:02:16.883
  • Outran the chariots to the entrance of jezreel, and then
  • 00:02:16.883 --> 00:02:20.720
  • It went.
  • 00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:22.322
  • So, the presence of god and the spirit would come and go in the
  • 00:02:22.322 --> 00:02:26.492
  • Old covenant.
  • 00:02:26.492 --> 00:02:27.827
  • So, god's presence in the old covenant was conditional and it
  • 00:02:27.827 --> 00:02:30.997
  • Was based on two things, obedience and calling.
  • 00:02:30.997 --> 00:02:36.236
  • It was based on obedience and calling in the old testament.
  • 00:02:36.236 --> 00:02:41.941
  • Okay?
  • 00:02:41.941 --> 00:02:43.309
  • So, if you were not obedient, the whole--ain't nothing coming
  • 00:02:43.309 --> 00:02:45.111
  • On you.
  • 00:02:45.111 --> 00:02:47.046
  • Okay?
  • 00:02:47.046 --> 00:02:48.381
  • And then the calling may have merited for the presence of god
  • 00:02:48.381 --> 00:02:51.751
  • To be on you for certain things that you were called to like
  • 00:02:51.751 --> 00:02:54.254
  • Samuel and those folks.
  • 00:02:54.254 --> 00:02:55.622
  • The spirit of god would even come on the prophets, the spirit
  • 00:02:55.622 --> 00:02:57.357
  • Of the lord is upon me and this is what he told me to tell you.
  • 00:02:57.357 --> 00:03:02.562
  • Joseph's favor was seasonal and tied to external visitations.
  • 00:03:02.562 --> 00:03:11.704
  • We see, we read the bible and we we read it like it's something
  • 00:03:11.704 --> 00:03:16.075
  • That happens all the time.
  • 00:03:16.075 --> 00:03:18.344
  • Some of this stuff didn't happen but one time.
  • 00:03:18.344 --> 00:03:21.547
  • You know, the thing that happened with abraham when he
  • 00:03:21.547 --> 00:03:25.385
  • Gave a tenth of his possessions after he realized that god was
  • 00:03:25.385 --> 00:03:29.055
  • The one that gave him the victory.
  • 00:03:29.055 --> 00:03:31.024
  • He didn't give a tenth of his possessions so that god could
  • 00:03:31.024 --> 00:03:34.060
  • Give him the victory.
  • 00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:35.395
  • It was after he had walked into the victory and melchizedek
  • 00:03:35.395 --> 00:03:39.198
  • Showed up and said, "don't you realize this and that, it was
  • 00:03:39.198 --> 00:03:42.268
  • God that did this and that."
  • 00:03:42.268 --> 00:03:43.903
  • And he heard that and he said, "wow, i'm going to give a tenth
  • 00:03:43.903 --> 00:03:47.173
  • Of everything that i have in his stocks and stuff.
  • 00:03:47.173 --> 00:03:51.644
  • Not stocks like new york stocks, but animal stocks.
  • 00:03:51.644 --> 00:03:56.916
  • Okay?
  • 00:03:56.916 --> 00:03:58.318
  • And that's so interesting to me, because in church today we teach
  • 00:03:58.318 --> 00:04:01.054
  • It, you give and then that's going to be the reason that's
  • 00:04:01.054 --> 00:04:06.025
  • Going to come to you.
  • 00:04:06.025 --> 00:04:07.360
  • Now, abraham gave after because he's like, "oh, that was god.
  • 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:11.898
  • I'm going to honor him and i'm going to honor the guys that are
  • 00:04:11.898 --> 00:04:15.234
  • Around me as well."
  • 00:04:15.234 --> 00:04:16.769
  • So interesting how we just twist stuff but won't nobody read and
  • 00:04:16.769 --> 00:04:20.173
  • Study to find out how it is, but we'll get religiously etched in
  • 00:04:20.173 --> 00:04:24.210
  • That bad teaching and doctrine, and go preach it to everybody.
  • 00:04:24.210 --> 00:04:27.146
  • And then so quick to tell somebody they're going to hell
  • 00:04:27.146 --> 00:04:29.415
  • And they twist it, and stuff like that.
  • 00:04:29.415 --> 00:04:32.552
  • And you flunk english, you don't know subject, verb, predicate,
  • 00:04:32.552 --> 00:04:37.724
  • Objects, you know none of that.
  • 00:04:37.724 --> 00:04:39.425
  • You just start saying and rehearsing what some preacher
  • 00:04:39.425 --> 00:04:42.795
  • Who didn't know what he was talking about told you.
  • 00:04:42.795 --> 00:04:46.432
  • And so, you can't come to everybody's church because you
  • 00:04:46.432 --> 00:04:49.202
  • Got to go to a church where you can hear what you already know.
  • 00:04:49.202 --> 00:04:56.008
  • So you can holler and scream and let it know that, "i know this.
  • 00:04:56.008 --> 00:04:59.145
  • Oh, yes sir, that's what it said."
  • 00:04:59.145 --> 00:05:00.880
  • Shut up, i can't hear.
  • 00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:02.415
  • You ever sat by somebody who hollered and screamed the whole
  • 00:05:02.415 --> 00:05:06.452
  • Service right next to you and you were trying to listen to
  • 00:05:06.452 --> 00:05:08.855
  • The word?
  • 00:05:08.855 --> 00:05:10.189
  • And you couldn't hardly hear because they were so busy trying
  • 00:05:10.189 --> 00:05:12.558
  • To let people know, "i know the lord."
  • 00:05:12.558 --> 00:05:15.261
  • Well, i wonder how you do that when you go home.
  • 00:05:15.261 --> 00:05:17.997
  • How--did you cuss last night?
  • 00:05:17.997 --> 00:05:19.365
  • You cussed, i heard you.
  • 00:05:19.365 --> 00:05:23.536
  • It was seasonal.
  • 00:05:23.536 --> 00:05:27.073
  • Wow.
  • 00:05:27.073 --> 00:05:28.441
  • Now, let's look at the new covenant, the presence of god.
  • 00:05:28.441 --> 00:05:31.878
  • So, in the old covenant, the presence came and it went.
  • 00:05:31.878 --> 00:05:35.081
  • In the new covenant, the presence is in us.
  • 00:05:35.081 --> 00:05:41.854
  • When did it get in us?
  • 00:05:41.854 --> 00:05:43.222
  • The day you got born again, the day you had that wow moment to
  • 00:05:43.222 --> 00:05:46.592
  • Say, "lord, i believe you."
  • 00:05:46.592 --> 00:05:48.995
  • Something happened.
  • 00:05:48.995 --> 00:05:50.396
  • It came in you.
  • 00:05:50.396 --> 00:05:52.498
  • The day you got saved, not because you performed, not
  • 00:05:52.498 --> 00:05:55.001
  • Because you did so.
  • 00:05:55.001 --> 00:05:56.335
  • No, the day you said, "i believe," the presence of god
  • 00:05:56.335 --> 00:05:59.705
  • Came on the inside of you.
  • 00:05:59.705 --> 00:06:02.375
  • So, we have more than god with us, we have god what?
  • 00:06:02.375 --> 00:06:11.217
  • Can't you see something right now?
  • 00:06:11.217 --> 00:06:13.886
  • Every time i walk i say this to myself, "i'm more than what
  • 00:06:13.886 --> 00:06:18.791
  • I know."
  • 00:06:18.791 --> 00:06:21.794
  • Oh, i'm more than what i know.
  • 00:06:21.794 --> 00:06:26.799
  • I rushed in yesterday off my walk, i heard this, "discoveries
  • 00:06:26.799 --> 00:06:33.372
  • Don't happen without a journey, a journey doesn't happen without
  • 00:06:33.372 --> 00:06:40.246
  • Questions, and questions don't happen without hunger."
  • 00:06:40.246 --> 00:06:48.287
  • I said, "lord, what are you showing me?"
  • 00:06:48.287 --> 00:06:52.391
  • He said, "you got hungry one day because you were frustrated
  • 00:06:52.391 --> 00:06:57.129
  • Because stuff wasn't working."
  • 00:06:57.129 --> 00:06:59.565
  • Your hunger led you to ask god a question, which christian people
  • 00:06:59.565 --> 00:07:02.902
  • Don't do because they've been told not to question god.
  • 00:07:02.902 --> 00:07:06.472
  • That's not what he talks about.
  • 00:07:06.472 --> 00:07:07.940
  • There's a difference between asking god a question and
  • 00:07:07.940 --> 00:07:10.476
  • Questionings, questionings in doubt, questionings like, you
  • 00:07:10.476 --> 00:07:16.883
  • Know, if you had'a been here, my child would not have died, or if
  • 00:07:16.883 --> 00:07:21.320
  • You god then why did this happen?
  • 00:07:21.320 --> 00:07:23.956
  • Those are questionings.
  • 00:07:23.956 --> 00:07:25.525
  • Questionings in doubt is what he said don't do, because if it
  • 00:07:25.525 --> 00:07:29.428
  • Wasn't for a question-- mary asked the question.
  • 00:07:29.428 --> 00:07:34.233
  • You going to be pregnant with my son, and she said, "how can this
  • 00:07:34.233 --> 00:07:38.571
  • Be, seeing i know not a man?"
  • 00:07:38.571 --> 00:07:42.942
  • A question, nicodemus had a question, "what must i do to
  • 00:07:42.942 --> 00:07:48.614
  • Be saved?"
  • 00:07:48.614 --> 00:07:51.884
  • See, without hunger you don't ask questions, and i was hungry.
  • 00:07:51.884 --> 00:07:56.856
  • And so, i'm always asking god a question, and i'm asking him,
  • 00:07:56.856 --> 00:08:00.893
  • "lord, all right, i know that they say this and they say that,
  • 00:08:00.893 --> 00:08:04.363
  • But if that's the truth, then why is this and that and this?"
  • 00:08:04.363 --> 00:08:07.667
  • All right, now i start a journey.
  • 00:08:07.667 --> 00:08:10.303
  • My hunger produced a question.
  • 00:08:10.303 --> 00:08:12.505
  • Ask a question.
  • 00:08:12.505 --> 00:08:14.407
  • Ask him, "lord, why that ain't working?
  • 00:08:14.407 --> 00:08:17.176
  • Lord, how did that happen?
  • 00:08:17.176 --> 00:08:18.578
  • Lord, why did my child have to be born like this?
  • 00:08:18.578 --> 00:08:20.680
  • Lord, why did this situation go on?
  • 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.315
  • Lord, why am i broke?"
  • 00:08:22.315 --> 00:08:24.050
  • I mean, some of that stuff you already know without asking the
  • 00:08:24.050 --> 00:08:26.652
  • Question, but go ahead if you need some confirmation, ask him
  • 00:08:26.652 --> 00:08:29.755
  • The question.
  • 00:08:29.755 --> 00:08:33.326
  • God doesn't mind, it's fellowship to him.
  • 00:08:33.326 --> 00:08:37.830
  • Ask him the question, guys.
  • 00:08:37.830 --> 00:08:39.999
  • Don't be afraid to ask the question.
  • 00:08:39.999 --> 00:08:43.603
  • If thou be the son of god,
  • 00:08:43.603 --> 00:08:48.074
  • Why is the sabbath day in the old testament a day and in the
  • 00:08:48.074 --> 00:08:52.044
  • New testament it's jesus?
  • 00:08:52.044 --> 00:08:54.780
  • Ask the question.
  • 00:08:54.780 --> 00:08:57.450
  • Don't just look at a scripture and say, "i don't know what
  • 00:08:57.450 --> 00:08:59.418
  • That's saying, but you know i ain't questioning god."
  • 00:08:59.418 --> 00:09:01.887
  • See, that's mixed up.
  • 00:09:01.887 --> 00:09:03.255
  • You're not questioning god because you're not doubting him,
  • 00:09:03.255 --> 00:09:05.558
  • You're asking god a question because you're ignorant.
  • 00:09:05.558 --> 00:09:07.593
  • You're asking god a question because you don't know.
  • 00:09:07.593 --> 00:09:09.462
  • You're asking god a question because you can't see that.
  • 00:09:09.462 --> 00:09:17.370
  • Without hunger you're not interested in asking a question,
  • 00:09:17.370 --> 00:09:20.940
  • Without a question you don't start a journey, and without a
  • 00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:25.077
  • Journey you'll never move into discovery, and i've discovered
  • 00:09:25.077 --> 00:09:33.085
  • Some things about him, because every day for a while it was
  • 00:09:33.085 --> 00:09:40.159
  • A question.
  • 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.262
  • Lord, why am i sad?
  • 00:09:43.262 --> 00:09:47.700
  • Lord, why am i mad?
  • 00:09:47.700 --> 00:09:52.004
  • Lord, i'm so tired, why?
  • 00:09:52.004 --> 00:09:56.976
  • And all of these teachings that i give to you came out of
  • 00:09:56.976 --> 00:10:02.081
  • The journey.
  • 00:10:02.081 --> 00:10:04.583
  • Let me show you something, son.
  • 00:10:04.583 --> 00:10:07.319
  • You are so addicted to other people's approval, you can't
  • 00:10:07.319 --> 00:10:11.490
  • Focus on what i want you to do.
  • 00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:14.894
  • You struggle with what to say because you don't want to cause
  • 00:10:14.894 --> 00:10:18.264
  • No problem with nobody.
  • 00:10:18.264 --> 00:10:25.471
  • Quit looking at other people's ministry, comparing yourself
  • 00:10:25.471 --> 00:10:30.876
  • Amongst yourself, because you'll lose gratitude for what i've
  • 00:10:30.876 --> 00:10:35.281
  • Already done for you.
  • 00:10:35.281 --> 00:10:38.484
  • Are you still comparing yourself amongst yourself and you're
  • 00:10:38.484 --> 00:10:42.488
  • Forgetting about the little thing god did for you?
  • 00:10:42.488 --> 00:10:44.223
  • It might have been little but it wasn't done, and god did the
  • 00:10:44.223 --> 00:10:46.759
  • Little thing that wasn't done.
  • 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:55.167
  • Until this becomes a life, it'll never be a reality.
  • 00:10:55.167 --> 00:11:02.975
  • This can't be a going-to-church playtime until it becomes a
  • 00:11:02.975 --> 00:11:07.046
  • Life, and i mean waking up and going to work and dealing with
  • 00:11:07.046 --> 00:11:11.751
  • Stuff, and every time something happens in life, that's life,
  • 00:11:11.751 --> 00:11:14.854
  • And either you're going to let life defeat you or you're going
  • 00:11:14.854 --> 00:11:17.523
  • To rise up with the word and the wisdom of god and say, "i am
  • 00:11:17.523 --> 00:11:20.626
  • Going to conquer you.
  • 00:11:20.626 --> 00:11:21.994
  • I am going to overcome you.
  • 00:11:21.994 --> 00:11:23.329
  • You're not going to beat me down.
  • 00:11:23.329 --> 00:11:24.697
  • You're not going to beat me up.
  • 00:11:24.697 --> 00:11:26.031
  • I am somebody.
  • 00:11:26.031 --> 00:11:27.399
  • I am blessed.
  • 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:28.734
  • I am healed.
  • 00:11:28.734 --> 00:11:30.102
  • I'm not going to die with this thing on me."
  • 00:11:30.102 --> 00:11:32.571
  • It's just, what is it?
  • 00:11:32.571 --> 00:11:38.010
  • I mean, dude, if you're looking for entertainment, go to las
  • 00:11:38.010 --> 00:11:40.346
  • Vegas, it's in abundance, but we've substituted it for church.
  • 00:11:40.346 --> 00:11:48.521
  • Why do you feel inferior and you've been saved for 30 years
  • 00:11:48.521 --> 00:11:51.757
  • And you're afraid to admit you're inferior?
  • 00:11:51.757 --> 00:11:56.095
  • Oh, i'm getting ready to get married, but you know, my father
  • 00:11:56.095 --> 00:12:02.034
  • Left me and my mother left me.
  • 00:12:02.034 --> 00:12:03.669
  • Hold on a minute, i need to see how you're going to deal with
  • 00:12:03.669 --> 00:12:06.605
  • That abandonment, because if you don't see how to deal with that
  • 00:12:06.605 --> 00:12:10.476
  • As an individual, then you might take that out on your wife or
  • 00:12:10.476 --> 00:12:14.346
  • Your husband, and the whole time we're trying to figure out
  • 00:12:14.346 --> 00:12:16.515
  • What's wrong with you, and god knows what's wrong with you, but
  • 00:12:16.515 --> 00:12:18.584
  • You're not taking no time to ask him.
  • 00:12:18.584 --> 00:12:19.985
  • You're not going to god and say, "god, i want to be honest with
  • 00:12:19.985 --> 00:12:23.222
  • You, i hurt."
  • 00:12:23.222 --> 00:12:26.425
  • Well, do you think i'm some kind of superman when i've spent 44
  • 00:12:26.425 --> 00:12:30.329
  • Years of hearing people say terrible things about me and dog
  • 00:12:30.329 --> 00:12:35.067
  • Me out, and you think i just do that because i'm a
  • 00:12:35.067 --> 00:12:41.106
  • Strong person?
  • 00:12:41.106 --> 00:12:42.975
  • No, i have a relationship with god, and once you get to know
  • 00:12:42.975 --> 00:12:49.114
  • Him, he'll start talking to you.
  • 00:12:49.114 --> 00:12:50.449
  • He's like, "uh, so you gonna to talk to me about it?"
  • 00:12:50.449 --> 00:12:53.886
  • I said, "uh, yeah, in a minute."
  • 00:12:53.886 --> 00:12:59.391
  • Then he said, "you hurt?"
  • 00:12:59.391 --> 00:13:04.763
  • I started to play religious with god.
  • 00:13:04.763 --> 00:13:07.900
  • You know what i'm talking about?
  • 00:13:07.900 --> 00:13:09.435
  • "no, i'm not."
  • 00:13:09.435 --> 00:13:10.769
  • You know he knows.
  • 00:13:10.769 --> 00:13:12.204
  • And so, i paused and i said, "yeah, i'm hurt."
  • 00:13:12.204 --> 00:13:17.710
  • I said, i'm hurt.
  • 00:13:17.710 --> 00:13:20.713
  • I'm hurt, i'm angry, i want to respond with--in the flesh.
  • 00:13:20.713 --> 00:13:29.488
  • I wanna hate, i wanna get back, i wanna--"
  • 00:13:29.488 --> 00:13:35.227
  • And the lord just spoke something so peaceful, he said,
  • 00:13:35.227 --> 00:13:38.898
  • "would you do me a favor?"
  • 00:13:38.898 --> 00:13:41.433
  • I said, "what?"
  • 00:13:41.433 --> 00:13:43.269
  • He said, "would you pray for your enemies?"
  • 00:13:43.269 --> 00:13:45.170
  • And i'm like...and part of me wanted to say, "satan, i bind
  • 00:13:45.170 --> 00:13:53.846
  • You in the name of jesus," but i knew it wasn't satan, i knew it
  • 00:13:53.846 --> 00:13:56.548
  • Was god, right?
  • 00:13:56.548 --> 00:14:01.954
  • This is the kind of a relationship i'm talking about.
  • 00:14:01.954 --> 00:14:05.090
  • I'm not talking about some little phony, you know, made up,
  • 00:14:05.090 --> 00:14:08.527
  • Religious, christianity talk with god every day, i'm talking
  • 00:14:08.527 --> 00:14:12.965
  • About letting him speak.
  • 00:14:12.965 --> 00:14:15.668
  • I know one morning i got up, i was getting ready to talk, he
  • 00:14:15.668 --> 00:14:17.603
  • Says, "all i want you to do is listen," and i started walking,
  • 00:14:17.603 --> 00:14:24.276
  • Wondering if he was going to say something, and it was so
  • 00:14:24.276 --> 00:14:26.445
  • Interesting, because for about 30 minutes he said nothing, and
  • 00:14:26.445 --> 00:14:33.686
  • Then after it was over with, i said, "what was that?"
  • 00:14:33.686 --> 00:14:36.155
  • He said, "i just needed you to hear the peace that was in
  • 00:14:36.155 --> 00:14:39.725
  • Your heart."
  • 00:14:39.725 --> 00:14:41.961
  • I said, "thank you, lord."
  • 00:14:41.961 --> 00:14:44.663
  • That kind of relationship, the relationship that makes you cry
  • 00:14:44.663 --> 00:14:48.267
  • And you're a dude and you know you don't want nobody to see you
  • 00:14:48.267 --> 00:14:50.536
  • Crying, but you do that because of him,
  • 00:14:50.536 --> 00:14:56.709
  • And then that relationship
  • 00:14:56.709 --> 00:15:01.880
  • Becomes so tight, like, i don't know if some of
  • 00:15:01.880 --> 00:15:04.249
  • Y'all remember this, but when he delivered me and healed me of
  • 00:15:04.249 --> 00:15:07.886
  • Cancer for the second time, and shingles and blood clots and
  • 00:15:07.886 --> 00:15:13.592
  • Whatever that third thing was, covid, i couldn't stop crying
  • 00:15:13.592 --> 00:15:21.033
  • 'cause he didn't abandon me.
  • 00:15:21.033 --> 00:15:27.072
  • When you go through a rough time with god, you come out with a
  • 00:15:27.072 --> 00:15:32.011
  • More intimate relationship because you are ride or die.
  • 00:15:32.011 --> 00:15:36.215
  • He's your ride or die.
  • 00:15:36.215 --> 00:15:37.916
  • It's like, he didn't leave me, he stuck with me, he talked with
  • 00:15:37.916 --> 00:15:40.886
  • Me, he comforted me.
  • 00:15:40.886 --> 00:15:42.221
  • He gave me sleep when i was in pain.
  • 00:15:42.221 --> 00:15:44.123
  • He took care of me.
  • 00:15:44.123 --> 00:15:45.457
  • I'm never going to leave you, and he says, "likewise."
  • 00:15:45.457 --> 00:15:50.696
  • That's what i'm talking about.
  • 00:15:50.696 --> 00:15:56.568
  • I ain't talking about some little church prayer, i'm
  • 00:15:56.568 --> 00:16:01.473
  • Talking about a daily relationship, riding in your car
  • 00:16:01.473 --> 00:16:06.378
  • And you talking to him, he talking to you, bumping into
  • 00:16:06.378 --> 00:16:10.349
  • People and feeling some kind of way because god starts talking
  • 00:16:10.349 --> 00:16:12.551
  • To you.
  • 00:16:12.551 --> 00:16:13.919
  • See, prosperity starts working.
  • 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:15.254
  • These gifts start working.
  • 00:16:15.254 --> 00:16:16.622
  • You start seeing stuff you would not normally see.
  • 00:16:16.622 --> 00:16:18.690
  • You start understanding things.
  • 00:16:18.690 --> 00:16:20.559
  • Your tongue, it becomes sensitive when you just don't
  • 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.961
  • Say nothing no more without it being sensitive.
  • 00:16:22.961 --> 00:16:24.730
  • Oh, i shouldn't have said that.
  • 00:16:24.730 --> 00:16:26.065
  • Oh, lord, forgive me for that.
  • 00:16:26.065 --> 00:16:27.566
  • You're thinking, you think about it more because you have a
  • 00:16:27.566 --> 00:16:29.802
  • Relationship with him.
  • 00:16:29.802 --> 00:16:31.136
  • It's not about this religion, play church stuff, i hate
  • 00:16:31.136 --> 00:16:33.439
  • Religion because i see what it's done to people.
  • 00:16:33.439 --> 00:16:37.976
  • It's robbed people of an intimate, authentic, real
  • 00:16:37.976 --> 00:16:42.915
  • Relationship with the spirit of god that abides on the inside of
  • 00:16:42.915 --> 00:16:47.186
  • You, and you don't have to scream, you don't have to do
  • 00:16:47.186 --> 00:16:49.288
  • Anything, because even before you pray or ask, he already
  • 00:16:49.288 --> 00:16:53.158
  • Knows because he lives in you.
  • 00:16:53.158 --> 00:16:55.594
  • He's not seasonal, he doesn't just come and go.
  • 00:16:55.594 --> 00:16:58.464
  • When you go to sleep, he's there with you, hallelujah.
  • 00:16:58.464 --> 00:17:01.333
  • When you wake up, you wake up with him, praise god.
  • 00:17:01.333 --> 00:17:03.969
  • When you go through something, he's right there with you.
  • 00:17:03.969 --> 00:17:06.105
  • Watch this, when you go and get drunk, he's right there with you
  • 00:17:06.105 --> 00:17:09.641
  • Trying to ask you why you doing that?
  • 00:17:09.641 --> 00:17:14.546
  • Now, what happens is, you think what you did causes god to think
  • 00:17:14.546 --> 00:17:20.752
  • Differently about you, but what happens is, you are now thinking
  • 00:17:20.752 --> 00:17:26.425
  • Differently about yourself and god's trying to have a
  • 00:17:26.425 --> 00:17:30.262
  • Conversation with you and your guilt and condemnation is making
  • 00:17:30.262 --> 00:17:33.365
  • It difficult for you to have that conversation with him
  • 00:17:33.365 --> 00:17:39.238
  • 'cause this is a real relationship.
  • 00:17:39.238 --> 00:17:49.148
  • Man, maybe you need to read this 'cause ain't none of this in
  • 00:17:53.252 --> 00:17:55.220
  • My notes.
  • 00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:57.489
  • Ain't none of it in my notes.
  • 00:17:57.489 --> 00:17:59.992
  • It was supposed to be a, what, 35-minute sermon and we're done,
  • 00:17:59.992 --> 00:18:05.597
  • And y'all was going to say, "oh, man, we got out early today,"
  • 00:18:05.597 --> 00:18:10.102
  • But god's not trying to get you on a little break, there's
  • 00:18:10.102 --> 00:18:13.939
  • Somebody in here that needed me to talk like i'm talking.
  • 00:18:13.939 --> 00:18:18.377
  • [congregation applauding]
  • 00:18:18.377 --> 00:18:24.383
  • Colossians 1:27 in the king james and then in the mirror.
  • 00:18:24.383 --> 00:18:28.921
  • All right, "to whom god would make known what is the riches of
  • 00:18:28.987 --> 00:18:31.823
  • The glory of this mystery amongst the gentiles."
  • 00:18:31.823 --> 00:18:34.760
  • What's the mystery, "which is christ in you, the hope of
  • 00:18:34.760 --> 00:18:40.432
  • Glory," or manifestations in your life.
  • 00:18:40.432 --> 00:18:42.935
  • Christ in you is the hope of manifestation in your life.
  • 00:18:42.935 --> 00:18:45.370
  • Now, look at this verse in the mirror.
  • 00:18:45.370 --> 00:18:48.273
  • "within us, god is delighted to exhibit the priceless treasure.
  • 00:18:48.273 --> 00:18:54.012
  • Of this glorious unveiling of christ's indwelling in order
  • 00:18:54.012 --> 00:18:58.717
  • That every person on the planet,
  • 00:18:58.717 --> 00:19:01.053
  • Whoever they are, may now come
  • 00:19:01.053 --> 00:19:05.357
  • To the greatest discovery of all time and recognize christ in
  • 00:19:05.357 --> 00:19:10.562
  • Them as in a mirror."
  • 00:19:10.562 --> 00:19:13.599
  • That you're recognizing christ in you just like you're
  • 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:16.201
  • Recognizing that's you in that mirror.
  • 00:19:16.201 --> 00:19:19.204
  • The greatest discovery of all times, recognizing that christ
  • 00:19:19.204 --> 00:19:23.942
  • Is in you.
  • 00:19:23.942 --> 00:19:26.511
  • "he is the desire of the nations and completes their
  • 00:19:26.511 --> 00:19:31.016
  • Very expectation."
  • 00:19:31.016 --> 00:19:34.386
  • This is so powerful.
  • 00:19:34.386 --> 00:19:36.888
  • Look at this, john chapter 14, verse 17.
  • 00:19:36.888 --> 00:19:40.592
  • John 14:17, king james first and then the--"even the spirit of
  • 00:19:40.592 --> 00:19:46.365
  • Truth, whom the world cannot receive."
  • 00:19:46.365 --> 00:19:48.000
  • The world are people who are still blind to who they are so
  • 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.804
  • They can't receive the things of the spirit, "because it seeth
  • 00:19:52.804 --> 00:19:55.540
  • Him not, neither knoweth him," but you know him, you know him,
  • 00:19:55.540 --> 00:20:00.078
  • And they that know their god shall do exploits.
  • 00:20:00.078 --> 00:20:01.847
  • You know him, "for he dwelleth with you, and he shall be
  • 00:20:01.847 --> 00:20:05.684
  • In you."
  • 00:20:05.684 --> 00:20:07.019
  • John's prophesying about what's happening now and what is
  • 00:20:07.019 --> 00:20:09.288
  • Getting ready to come.
