  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.346
  • 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 --> 00:00:06.519
  • Male announcer: coming up next on "changing your world."
  • 00:00:07.854 --> 00:00:11.791
  • Creflo dollar: god's rest says you need to be established in
  • 00:00:11.791 --> 00:00:13.993
  • Christ, no up and down, "oh, i'm saved," one day, "i don't know
  • 00:00:13.993 --> 00:00:17.063
  • If i'm saved," the next day.
  • 00:00:17.063 --> 00:00:18.431
  • "oh, i'm righteous," one day, "i don't know if i'm righteous,"
  • 00:00:18.431 --> 00:00:20.567
  • The next day.
  • 00:00:20.567 --> 00:00:21.935
  • He said, "no, you need to get established in christ,
  • 00:00:21.935 --> 00:00:24.771
  • Not moving from doctrine to doctrine, not moving from
  • 00:00:24.771 --> 00:00:27.874
  • Philosophy to philosophy, not being cast to and fro with
  • 00:00:27.874 --> 00:00:32.412
  • Every wind of doctrine."
  • 00:00:32.412 --> 00:00:33.780
  • When you rest, you're settled.
  • 00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:38.551
  • Creflo: hopefully you're gonna choose to let heaven determine
  • 00:00:42.122 --> 00:00:45.225

  • Gonna be your mentality for today.
  • 00:00:48.328 --> 00:00:50.497
  • Creflo: can you say that he's a waymaker, yes!
  • 00:00:50.497 --> 00:00:53.433
  • Can you say that he's a god that sits high and looks low, yes!
  • 00:00:53.433 --> 00:00:59.005

  • Creflo: if you have your bibles, open them up with me to the book
  • 00:01:48.354 --> 00:01:51.257
  • Of hebrews chapter 4, i'm gonna read verses 1 through 11 in the
  • 00:01:51.257 --> 00:01:56.262
  • Nlt as we end this series on what it means to fall
  • 00:01:56.262 --> 00:02:00.633
  • From grace.
  • 00:02:00.633 --> 00:02:01.968
  • Today, i wanna talk to you about resting in the arms of jesus.
  • 00:02:01.968 --> 00:02:08.274
  • Resting, and the focus on that word "resting," in the arms
  • 00:02:08.274 --> 00:02:15.148
  • Of jesus.
  • 00:02:15.148 --> 00:02:17.984
  • Many have asked, "well, if we're not doing works, then what do
  • 00:02:17.984 --> 00:02:22.922
  • We do?"
  • 00:02:22.922 --> 00:02:24.257
  • We got to learn how to rest in the arms of jesus.
  • 00:02:24.257 --> 00:02:31.531
  • Especially now, with stress at an all time high, people are
  • 00:02:31.531 --> 00:02:38.171
  • Just being attacked in their emotions like i've never seen.
  • 00:02:38.171 --> 00:02:42.976
  • It is time to understand that the rest is still available, and
  • 00:02:42.976 --> 00:02:49.349
  • It is something that as christians, i don't know if
  • 00:02:49.349 --> 00:02:51.484
  • We've really gotten a hold of, but there's a warning given here
  • 00:02:51.484 --> 00:02:55.855
  • That if we don't enter into this rest and we could end up like
  • 00:02:55.855 --> 00:03:01.995
  • The generation of moses and even joshua, who they entered into
  • 00:03:01.995 --> 00:03:08.034
  • Canaan land--was later pulled out because of their unbelief.
  • 00:03:08.034 --> 00:03:13.206
  • Let's look at this, verse 1, "god's promise of entering his
  • 00:03:13.206 --> 00:03:19.379
  • Rest still stands."
  • 00:03:19.379 --> 00:03:22.782
  • So, it's still available.
  • 00:03:22.782 --> 00:03:26.586
  • The part that i want you to be watchful of is that, why hadn't
  • 00:03:26.586 --> 00:03:33.326
  • It been entered into?
  • 00:03:33.326 --> 00:03:35.828
  • What happened with israel when they could have entered into
  • 00:03:35.828 --> 00:03:39.332
  • That rest, and joshua, his generation?
  • 00:03:39.332 --> 00:03:44.504
  • The bible even says here, they didn't even obtain it.
  • 00:03:44.504 --> 00:03:49.475
  • "god's promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought
  • 00:03:49.475 --> 00:03:55.014
  • To tremble with fear that some of you might fail to
  • 00:03:55.014 --> 00:03:59.819
  • Experience it."
  • 00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:03.589
  • That some may, even into this day and time, they will fail to
  • 00:04:03.589 --> 00:04:10.263
  • Experience the rest.
  • 00:04:10.263 --> 00:04:14.367
  • Hm, verse 2, "for this good news--that god has prepared his
  • 00:04:14.367 --> 00:04:20.673
  • Rest--has been announced to us just as it was to them.
  • 00:04:20.673 --> 00:04:28.014
  • But it did them no good because they didn't share the faith of
  • 00:04:28.014 --> 00:04:34.921
  • Those who listened to god."
  • 00:04:34.921 --> 00:04:38.691
  • So he says, "we ought to tremble today if somehow we crown
  • 00:04:38.691 --> 00:04:43.663
  • Ourselves as christians, but we still don't believe."
  • 00:04:43.663 --> 00:04:49.469
  • He says, "you don't get in to god's rest without believing it,
  • 00:04:49.469 --> 00:04:55.408
  • Without having faith."
  • 00:04:55.408 --> 00:04:56.776
  • Somebody say, "i believe it."
  • 00:04:56.776 --> 00:04:58.778
  • Without having faith, without believing it, you still won't
  • 00:04:58.778 --> 00:05:01.814
  • Enter in.
  • 00:05:01.814 --> 00:05:05.852
  • And christianity has become this thing of trying to work and
  • 00:05:05.852 --> 00:05:11.190
  • Perform with your self-efforts to try to deserve to get in.
  • 00:05:11.190 --> 00:05:15.962
  • He says, "but if you don't believe, you don't enter in."
  • 00:05:15.962 --> 00:05:20.166
  • They died in the wilderness because they didn't believe.
  • 00:05:20.166 --> 00:05:24.437
  • They didn't receive rest when they even got to canaan, because
  • 00:05:24.437 --> 00:05:27.373
  • They didn't believe.
  • 00:05:27.373 --> 00:05:29.609
  • World changers, i wanna declare for you right now, you believe,
  • 00:05:29.609 --> 00:05:32.912
  • Praise god, you will enter into that rest.
  • 00:05:32.912 --> 00:05:38.418
  • Next verse.
  • 00:05:38.418 --> 00:05:40.019
  • He says, "for only we who believe can enter his rest.
  • 00:05:40.019 --> 00:05:45.224
  • As for the others.
  • 00:05:45.224 --> 00:05:46.759
  • God said, 'in my anger i took an oath: "they will never enter my
  • 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:53.666
  • Place of rest,"' even though this rest has been ready since
  • 00:05:53.666 --> 00:05:58.004
  • He made the whole world."
  • 00:05:58.004 --> 00:06:01.240
  • And if you read in hebrews 3, it talks about how they didn't
  • 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.644
  • Enter in because of the rest, because of their unbelief.
  • 00:06:04.644 --> 00:06:09.048
  • "we know it is ready because of the place in the scriptures
  • 00:06:09.048 --> 00:06:13.586
  • Where it mentions the seventh day: 'on the seventh day god
  • 00:06:13.586 --> 00:06:19.025
  • Rested from all his works.'
  • 00:06:19.025 --> 00:06:23.796
  • But in the other passage god said, 'they will never enter my
  • 00:06:23.796 --> 00:06:27.633
  • Place of rest.'
  • 00:06:27.633 --> 00:06:30.203
  • So god's rest is there for people to enter," it's there for
  • 00:06:30.203 --> 00:06:35.475
  • You to enter, "but those who first heard this good news
  • 00:06:35.475 --> 00:06:40.146
  • Failed to enter because they disobeyed god,"
  • 00:06:40.146 --> 00:06:44.016
  • They didn't believe.
  • 00:06:44.016 --> 00:06:45.384
  • And he--notice he says, "because you didn't believe,
  • 00:06:45.384 --> 00:06:47.720
  • You disobeyed."
  • 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:49.088
  • He calls unbelief disobedience.
  • 00:06:49.088 --> 00:06:53.292
  • "so god set another time for entering his rest, and that time
  • 00:06:53.292 --> 00:06:58.598
  • Is today," i'm talking about right now, i'm talking
  • 00:06:58.598 --> 00:07:04.837
  • About--i'm talking about today--we gonna enter into this
  • 00:07:04.837 --> 00:07:09.275
  • Rest today.
  • 00:07:09.275 --> 00:07:12.411
  • "god announced this through david much later in the words
  • 00:07:12.411 --> 00:07:15.481
  • Already quoted: 'today when you hear his voice, don't harden
  • 00:07:15.481 --> 00:07:20.186
  • Your hearts.'
  • 00:07:20.186 --> 00:07:22.255
  • Now, if joshua had succeeded--" if he had succeeded, most people
  • 00:07:22.255 --> 00:07:26.859
  • Thought he said--"but if he had succeeded in giving them this
  • 00:07:26.859 --> 00:07:29.228
  • Rest, god would not have spoken about another day of rest that's
  • 00:07:29.228 --> 00:07:34.500
  • Still to come."
  • 00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:35.835
  • So, even joshua and them getting in canaan, obviously, they
  • 00:07:35.835 --> 00:07:39.705
  • Didn't believe, even in canaan, to enter into his rest or it
  • 00:07:39.705 --> 00:07:44.477
  • Says, "i wouldn't be--i wouldn't still be talking about it."
  • 00:07:44.477 --> 00:07:49.949
  • So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of god.
  • 00:07:49.949 --> 00:07:55.154
  • Mm-mm-mm.
  • 00:07:55.154 --> 00:07:57.156
  • Something we gonna get into ladies and gentlemen, that's
  • 00:07:57.156 --> 00:08:01.427
  • Gonna be the beginning of a move of god in your life like
  • 00:08:01.427 --> 00:08:04.030
  • Never before.
  • 00:08:04.030 --> 00:08:09.435
  • "for all who have entered into god's rest have rested from
  • 00:08:09.435 --> 00:08:13.639
  • Their labors, just as god did after creating the world."
  • 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.210
  • And you're gonna find out here, what he's saying is all those
  • 00:08:18.210 --> 00:08:20.613
  • Who enter into god's rest, they have rested from their
  • 00:08:20.613 --> 00:08:23.716
  • Self-effort, they have rested from their performance, they
  • 00:08:23.716 --> 00:08:26.719
  • Have rested from what they've been trying to do to get god to
  • 00:08:26.719 --> 00:08:31.057
  • Do something for them, instead of resting and believing it's
  • 00:08:31.057 --> 00:08:34.260
  • Already done.
  • 00:08:34.260 --> 00:08:35.595
  • "so let us do our best to enter that rest, but if we disobey,"
  • 00:08:35.595 --> 00:08:40.199
  • Or don't believe, "god, as the people of israel did,
  • 00:08:40.199 --> 00:08:47.974
  • We will fall."
  • 00:08:47.974 --> 00:08:53.245
  • Do you understand that today's teaching is the most important
  • 00:08:53.245 --> 00:08:55.681
  • Teaching that you have ever heard?
  • 00:08:55.681 --> 00:09:02.588
  • Because today, you're gonna find out not only how to get victory,
  • 00:09:02.588 --> 00:09:06.258
  • But how not to fall.
  • 00:09:06.258 --> 00:09:11.797
  • How not to fall.
  • 00:09:11.797 --> 00:09:14.433
  • Now, allow me the opportunity to just sow this into your head.
  • 00:09:14.433 --> 00:09:24.343
  • The word "rest," the definition, after i looked at the
  • 00:09:24.343 --> 00:09:28.781
  • Dictionaries for conclusions-- i'll show you the dictionary.
  • 00:09:28.781 --> 00:09:36.856
  • When you look at the word "rest," it means to cease from
  • 00:09:36.856 --> 00:09:39.525
  • Action and motion.
  • 00:09:39.525 --> 00:09:41.794
  • The dictionary says, you stop doing what you're doing.
  • 00:09:41.794 --> 00:09:44.630
  • It means to stop from labor or exertion.
  • 00:09:44.630 --> 00:09:47.700
  • But now how does this relate to god's rest, this definition?
  • 00:09:47.700 --> 00:09:52.304
  • Well, god's rest, it means no more self-effort, no more trying
  • 00:09:52.304 --> 00:09:58.411
  • To please god by your feeble, fleshy works.
  • 00:09:58.411 --> 00:10:01.714
  • And the moment you enter into god's rest, work ceased as a way
  • 00:10:01.714 --> 00:10:05.618
  • To please god, because you can't do enough work to be perfect.
  • 00:10:05.618 --> 00:10:10.022
  • Rest from the sensation, rest from the legalistic
  • 00:10:10.022 --> 00:10:13.726
  • Self-activity, that's what it means in god's rest.
  • 00:10:13.726 --> 00:10:18.230
  • Secondly, in the dictionary, it meant to, you know,
  • 00:10:18.230 --> 00:10:24.437
  • To have peace.
  • 00:10:24.437 --> 00:10:26.072
  • But in god's rest, it means to be peace with god--be at peace
  • 00:10:26.072 --> 00:10:29.208
  • With god, be free from guilt, no need to worry about sin because
  • 00:10:29.208 --> 00:10:35.114
  • Sin is forgiven.
  • 00:10:35.114 --> 00:10:36.716
  • No more anxiety, no more pressure, no more shame, no more
  • 00:10:36.716 --> 00:10:41.087
  • Guilt, because in god's rest, all that's been taken care of.
  • 00:10:41.087 --> 00:10:48.227
  • The third definition i saw in the dictionary of the word
  • 00:10:48.227 --> 00:10:51.564
  • "rest," to lie down and to be settled or to fix or to
  • 00:10:51.564 --> 00:10:56.335
  • Be fixed.
  • 00:10:56.335 --> 00:10:58.804
  • So that relates to god's rest, is you could be established in
  • 00:10:58.804 --> 00:11:03.409
  • Christ, be rooted and grounded in christ.
  • 00:11:03.409 --> 00:11:06.779
  • In other words, this rest means you need to rest--god's rest
  • 00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:10.950
  • Says you need to be established in christ.
  • 00:11:10.950 --> 00:11:12.685
  • No, up and "down, oh, i'm saved," one day, "i don't know
  • 00:11:12.685 --> 00:11:15.421
  • If i'm saved," the next day.
  • 00:11:15.421 --> 00:11:16.789
  • "oh, i'm righteous," one day, "i don't know if i'm righteous,"
  • 00:11:16.789 --> 00:11:18.891
  • The next day.
  • 00:11:18.891 --> 00:11:20.226
  • He said, no, you need to get established in christ,
  • 00:11:20.226 --> 00:11:23.062
  • Not moving from doctrine to doctrine, not moving from
  • 00:11:23.062 --> 00:11:26.198
  • Philosophy to philosophy, not being cast to and fro with every
  • 00:11:26.198 --> 00:11:31.070
  • Wind of doctrine.
  • 00:11:31.070 --> 00:11:32.438
  • When you rest, you're settled.
  • 00:11:32.438 --> 00:11:40.312
  • The fourth definition of resting in the dictionary, it says,
  • 00:11:40.312 --> 00:11:44.717
  • Remain confident and put your trust in him.
  • 00:11:44.717 --> 00:11:47.553
  • How does that relate to god's rest?
  • 00:11:47.553 --> 00:11:49.522
  • Enjoy security.
  • 00:11:49.522 --> 00:11:51.423
  • You have trust in god's care for you.
  • 00:11:51.423 --> 00:11:54.193
  • No more being afraid about god not taking care of you.
  • 00:11:54.193 --> 00:11:58.764
  • You now rest in the assurance that god's got me.
  • 00:11:58.764 --> 00:12:04.436
  • And then the last one, rest means to lean on or to trust on,
  • 00:12:04.436 --> 00:12:10.276
  • And to put all of these together, here's what the rest
  • 00:12:10.276 --> 00:12:15.447
  • Of god, or god's rest means for us, as referring here in hebrews
  • 00:12:15.447 --> 00:12:20.653
  • 4 and 11.
  • 00:12:20.653 --> 00:12:21.987
  • It means--here it is again, you done heard it for three or four
  • 00:12:21.987 --> 00:12:24.924
  • Years, it means to totally depend on god for support.
  • 00:12:24.924 --> 00:12:29.662
  • It means to totally depend on god for support, totally depend
  • 00:12:29.662 --> 00:12:33.098
  • On god for help, totally depend on god for the power, totally
  • 00:12:33.098 --> 00:12:37.403
  • Depend on god for everything you need.
  • 00:12:37.403 --> 00:12:40.239
  • When you're resting, the authenticity of the rest is that
  • 00:12:40.239 --> 00:12:44.777
  • You find a person who is in total dependence upon god for
  • 00:12:44.777 --> 00:12:48.981
  • Everything--you literally have a new relationship, your
  • 00:12:48.981 --> 00:12:52.418
  • Relationship with god is a relationship of trust,
  • 00:12:52.418 --> 00:12:55.221
  • A relationship of rest, a relationship of total dependence
  • 00:12:55.221 --> 00:12:59.191
  • Upon god.
  • 00:12:59.191 --> 00:13:00.559
  • This relationship has a complete surrender and a complete trust
  • 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:05.164
  • In god.
  • 00:13:05.164 --> 00:13:06.532
  • It is no longer how many times you can do this or how many days
  • 00:13:06.532 --> 00:13:10.202
  • You can do that, and the intensity of doing this.
  • 00:13:10.202 --> 00:13:12.605
  • He is saying that to rest is a complete, total dependence upon
  • 00:13:12.605 --> 00:13:17.843
  • God for everything that needs to happen in your life, and while
  • 00:13:17.843 --> 00:13:22.414
  • You are alive on this earth, i trust god, i trust god.
  • 00:13:22.414 --> 00:13:26.452
  • And i'm telling you right now, you ought to start opening your
  • 00:13:26.452 --> 00:13:29.188
  • Mouth up when people start asking you about stuff and say,
  • 00:13:29.188 --> 00:13:31.257
  • "you know what, i trust god."
  • 00:13:31.257 --> 00:13:33.192
  • "well, how's everything going?"
  • 00:13:33.192 --> 00:13:34.526
  • "not too good right now, but i trust god."
  • 00:13:34.526 --> 00:13:36.962
  • It ain't no problem telling them, you know, reality what's
  • 00:13:36.962 --> 00:13:40.232
  • Going on, but put that "but" in there, because that "but" means
  • 00:13:40.232 --> 00:13:43.035
  • I'm gonna zero out whatever is going on and what remains is
  • 00:13:43.035 --> 00:13:47.039
  • That i trust god.
  • 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:48.507
  • I depend on god.
  • 00:13:48.507 --> 00:13:49.842
  • I don't know how this is gonna turn out, i don't even know what
  • 00:13:49.842 --> 00:13:52.745
  • To do, i don't even know the first step to take, i don't know
  • 00:13:52.745 --> 00:13:56.115
  • Where the money gonna come from, baby need a pair of shoes, look,
  • 00:13:56.115 --> 00:13:59.385
  • You got a light bill due.
  • 00:13:59.385 --> 00:14:00.786
  • I don't know, i feel like i'm about to lose my mind
  • 00:14:00.786 --> 00:14:03.455
  • And go crazy.
  • 00:14:03.455 --> 00:14:04.823
  • I don't know how he gonna do it, but the man that trusts god,
  • 00:14:04.823 --> 00:14:08.193
  • Something will happen when you lay your head down on the
  • 00:14:08.193 --> 00:14:11.463
  • Pillow, glory to god.
  • 00:14:11.463 --> 00:14:14.099
  • Somebody shout, "i trust god."
  • 00:14:14.099 --> 00:14:17.336
  • And he is saying, "i need you to enter into that."
  • 00:14:17.336 --> 00:14:24.176
  • He said, "they wouldn't enter in, in moses time.
  • 00:14:24.176 --> 00:14:26.946
  • They wouldn't enter into that in joshua's time."
  • 00:14:26.946 --> 00:14:30.215
  • And he says, "it's still remaining today and it is still
  • 00:14:30.215 --> 00:14:34.219
  • Waiting on whosoever will to rise up and say, 'some men trust
  • 00:14:34.219 --> 00:14:40.025
  • In horses and some men trust in chariots, but i trust in the
  • 00:14:40.025 --> 00:14:44.964
  • Almighty god.'"
  • 00:14:44.964 --> 00:14:53.939
  • Now, rest is not inactivity because some of you were ready
  • 00:14:53.939 --> 00:15:00.879
  • To go get your pajamas and a coat and just sit back
  • 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.382
  • And--that's not what it is.
  • 00:15:03.382 --> 00:15:07.987
  • Rest is not inactivity, it's not rest from work, it's rest from
  • 00:15:07.987 --> 00:15:15.494
  • The dead work, but it's not rest from work, but it's rest
  • 00:15:15.494 --> 00:15:19.465
  • In work.
  • 00:15:19.465 --> 00:15:20.833
  • It's rest while you're in motion, it's rest in doing the
  • 00:15:20.833 --> 00:15:23.602
  • Last thing he told you to do.
  • 00:15:23.602 --> 00:15:25.204
  • Rest while you are working.
  • 00:15:25.204 --> 00:15:27.272
  • In other words, you got bills to do, but you're still going
  • 00:15:27.272 --> 00:15:30.009
  • To work.
  • 00:15:30.009 --> 00:15:31.343
  • You don't sit there and say, "well, i don't make enough
  • 00:15:31.343 --> 00:15:32.845
  • Money so i stay home."
  • 00:15:32.845 --> 00:15:34.179
  • No, you're still going to work because you're dependent on god
  • 00:15:34.179 --> 00:15:36.382
  • To make up for what you don't have.
  • 00:15:36.382 --> 00:15:39.018
  • You're not resting from activity, you're resting in
  • 00:15:39.018 --> 00:15:43.055
  • Activity and rest while you're working.
  • 00:15:43.055 --> 00:15:45.791
  • This is what god wants from us.
  • 00:15:45.791 --> 00:15:47.726
  • He wants us to rest while we're doing what we're doing.
  • 00:15:47.726 --> 00:15:51.663
  • You're in motion, trusting god, you're trusting god, you
  • 00:15:51.663 --> 00:15:56.835
  • Walking, trusting god, you're dressing the kids up, trusting
  • 00:15:56.835 --> 00:15:59.405
  • God, clean your house up, trusting god, doing all the
  • 00:15:59.405 --> 00:16:01.774
  • Things you do, trusting god.
  • 00:16:01.774 --> 00:16:03.776
  • Don't know how this gonna come out--listen, somebody said, you
  • 00:16:03.776 --> 00:16:07.379
  • Know the rent is $500, i ain't got but $200, i'm gonna write
  • 00:16:07.379 --> 00:16:11.417
  • The $200, i trust in god.
  • 00:16:11.417 --> 00:16:13.919
  • You'll be so amazed what god can do with a person that will dare
  • 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:18.090
  • To rest in the midst of activity, in the midst of doing
  • 00:16:18.090 --> 00:16:23.228
  • What you do--i don't know how i'm gonna feel, i might not feel
  • 00:16:23.228 --> 00:16:26.198
  • Better, but i'm gonna do what's right because it's right, and i
  • 00:16:26.198 --> 00:16:29.435
  • Trust god that something gonna happen right in the middle
  • 00:16:29.435 --> 00:16:31.804
  • Of that.
  • 00:16:31.804 --> 00:16:35.374
  • Turn to your neighbor and say, "it's time to rest."
  • 00:16:35.374 --> 00:16:40.546
  • Now, psalms 46 and 10 puts it like this, i wanna read it in
  • 00:16:40.546 --> 00:16:45.250
  • The king james and then the tpt.
  • 00:16:45.250 --> 00:16:47.786
  • Psalms 46 and 10, he says it like this.
  • 00:16:47.786 --> 00:16:51.590
  • He says, so--he says, "be still and know."
  • 00:16:51.590 --> 00:17:01.633
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:17:02.334 --> 00:17:03.669
  • "be still and know that i'm god."
  • 00:17:03.669 --> 00:17:09.441
  • My goodness.
  • 00:17:09.441 --> 00:17:10.943
  • "i will be exalted among the heathen--" he said, "the heathen
  • 00:17:10.943 --> 00:17:14.513
  • Gonna start exalting me, when they see what i can do with you,
  • 00:17:14.513 --> 00:17:18.984
  • But i can't do nothing with you until you get still.
  • 00:17:18.984 --> 00:17:24.623
  • See, i need you to be still and know," just like that army was
  • 00:17:24.623 --> 00:17:29.027
  • Coming against these israelites, and they prayed because they
  • 00:17:29.027 --> 00:17:37.436
  • Didn't know what to do.
  • 00:17:37.436 --> 00:17:39.605
  • And the lord told them, "just be still."
  • 00:17:39.605 --> 00:17:43.208
  • And then they just started praising god, because you can't
  • 00:17:43.208 --> 00:17:47.079
  • Be still in god and not praising.
  • 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:50.883
  • You can't be still in god and not worship him.
  • 00:17:50.883 --> 00:17:53.785
  • The devil needs to run when worship starts coming out
  • 00:17:53.785 --> 00:17:56.688
  • Your mouth.
  • 00:17:56.688 --> 00:18:00.192
  • "be still, and know that i am god."
  • 00:18:00.192 --> 00:18:06.498
  • You gotta know god gonna move.
  • 00:18:06.498 --> 00:18:09.334
  • You don't need to be jumping out no window because you don't know
  • 00:18:09.334 --> 00:18:11.470
  • How you gonna make it, you gotta be still and know.
  • 00:18:11.470 --> 00:18:15.240
  • Glory to god.
  • 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.242
  • You don't need to be taking no gun out and shooting everybody
  • 00:18:17.242 --> 00:18:19.344
  • Because you frustrated with everybody, "i'm gonna kill
  • 00:18:19.344 --> 00:18:21.013
  • Everybody and kill myself."
  • 00:18:21.013 --> 00:18:23.815
  • You got to know god.
  • 00:18:23.815 --> 00:18:26.318
  • And i'm telling you, that's about to come to the end,
  • 00:18:26.318 --> 00:18:28.554
  • Because that kind of stuff gonna bump in to saved folks, and
  • 00:18:28.554 --> 00:18:31.056
  • Saved folks know what to do in the middle of that kind
  • 00:18:31.056 --> 00:18:33.091
  • Of chaos.
  • 00:18:33.091 --> 00:18:34.426
  • They don't know what to say about it, because they might be
  • 00:18:34.426 --> 00:18:36.028
  • A little shaken, but they know how to [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:18:36.028 --> 00:18:43.035
  • And that joker gonna drop that gun and run right in the arms of
  • 00:18:43.035 --> 00:18:45.437
  • The police.
  • 00:18:45.437 --> 00:18:46.805
  • You don't mess with somebody that's filled with the holy
  • 00:18:46.805 --> 00:18:48.774
  • Ghost, that knows their god.
  • 00:18:48.774 --> 00:18:54.346
  • Y'all got to help me, i feel like preaching now.
  • 00:18:54.346 --> 00:18:59.885
  • Now look at this in the tpt.
  • 00:18:59.885 --> 00:19:04.156
  • He says, "surrender your anxiety!
  • 00:19:04.156 --> 00:19:09.328
  • Be silent, stop your striving, and you will see that i am god."
  • 00:19:09.328 --> 00:19:16.735
  • How many of you want to see that god is god?
  • 00:19:16.735 --> 00:19:19.705
  • He says, "surrender your anxiety, stop being anxious and
  • 00:19:19.705 --> 00:19:24.276
  • Stop worrying."
  • 00:19:24.276 --> 00:19:26.178
  • Surrender your anxiety--how many of you know what i'm talking
  • 00:19:26.178 --> 00:19:29.748
  • About when i talk about being worried and anxious?
  • 00:19:29.748 --> 00:19:32.951
  • You--it's--you don't know what's gonna happen, you're trying to
  • 00:19:32.951 --> 00:19:37.222
  • Be peaceful and at ease, and your heart still beating fast
  • 00:19:37.222 --> 00:19:40.626
  • But--and then you kinda humming, trying to hum it away, and
  • 00:19:40.626 --> 00:19:43.762
  • You're trying to read the scripture and your body still
  • 00:19:43.762 --> 00:19:45.831
  • Responding from it.
  • 00:19:45.831 --> 00:19:47.165
  • And he says, "surrender your anxiety."
  • 00:19:47.165 --> 00:19:50.736
  • That's the same as cast your care on him.
  • 00:19:50.736 --> 00:19:54.506
  • He said, "now be silent."
  • 00:19:54.506 --> 00:19:56.041
  • Some of us just need to shut up when and--when we don't know
  • 00:19:56.041 --> 00:19:59.144
  • Something, just shut up, just don't be trying to talk to
  • 00:19:59.144 --> 00:20:01.613
  • Yourself, just shut up.
  • 00:20:01.613 --> 00:20:03.982
  • I'm gonna show you an anointing of shut up in just a moment.
  • 00:20:03.982 --> 00:20:08.654
  • It ain't part of the gifts of the spirit, but it'll work.
  • 00:20:08.654 --> 00:20:11.423
  • "surrender your anxiety!
  • 00:20:11.423 --> 00:20:13.325
  • Be silent, stop your striving," stop you trying to do what you
  • 00:20:13.325 --> 00:20:19.765
  • Think is necessary for this to work, "and you'll see that i
  • 00:20:19.765 --> 00:20:23.535
  • Am god.
  • 00:20:23.535 --> 00:20:24.870
  • I am the god above all the nations--" wonder what it is,
  • 00:20:24.870 --> 00:20:27.773
  • "and i will be exalted throughout the whole world."
  • 00:20:27.773 --> 00:20:29.808
  • Wonder what it is, the fact that i can go out in the street and
  • 00:20:29.808 --> 00:20:34.313
  • Bring somebody in who is sick, that don't go to church, and
  • 00:20:34.313 --> 00:20:37.416
  • Just tell them, "what you need to do is believe jesus," and
  • 00:20:37.416 --> 00:20:40.519
  • They come in, they get healed instantly.
  • 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:43.088
  • And then some other christian has been here for 40 years, and
  • 00:20:43.088 --> 00:20:47.793
  • Still trying to get well.
  • 00:20:47.793 --> 00:20:50.595
  • Maybe there's some striving going on that you need to let go
  • 00:20:50.595 --> 00:20:54.333
  • Of and just believe god, all right.
  • 00:20:54.333 --> 00:20:59.838
  • Now, look at matthew chapter 11:28 and 30.
  • 00:20:59.838 --> 00:21:05.377
  • Matthew 11:28 and 30, let's look at this in the new
  • 00:21:05.377 --> 00:21:12.751
  • Living translation.
  • 00:21:12.751 --> 00:21:16.088
  • Now listen to this, "then jesus said, 'come to me, all of you
  • 00:21:16.088 --> 00:21:20.359
  • Who are weary and carry heavy burdens.'"
  • 00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:25.364
  • How many of you know what it's like to carry some
  • 00:21:25.364 --> 00:21:27.999
  • Heavy burdens?

  • 00:21:32.504 --> 00:21:37.542
  • But you know what he said?
  • 00:21:37.542 --> 00:21:38.877
  • He says, "and i will give you rest.
  • 00:21:38.877 --> 00:21:41.646

  • 00:23:09.634 --> 00:23:14.172
