  • Creflo: if you have your bibles with you, go with me to the book
  • 00:01:41.214 --> 00:01:43.750
  • Of galatians chapter 2 and verse 20.
  • 00:01:43.750 --> 00:01:49.322
  • Let's read it out of the nlt first.
  • 00:01:49.322 --> 00:01:50.957
  • Galatians chapter 2 and verse 20, and this will be our key
  • 00:01:50.957 --> 00:01:55.295
  • Scripture for today.
  • 00:01:55.295 --> 00:01:57.530
  • He says, "my old self has been crucified with christ.
  • 00:01:57.530 --> 00:02:03.303
  • It is no longer i who live, but christ lives in me."
  • 00:02:03.303 --> 00:02:09.475
  • Say that.
  • 00:02:09.475 --> 00:02:10.810
  • Say, "christ lives in me."
  • 00:02:10.810 --> 00:02:14.714
  • "so i live in this earthly body."
  • 00:02:14.714 --> 00:02:18.251
  • How do i live in this earthly body now that christ lives
  • 00:02:18.251 --> 00:02:20.954
  • In me?
  • 00:02:20.954 --> 00:02:22.322
  • I live in this earthly body trusting in the son of god.
  • 00:02:22.322 --> 00:02:27.560
  • Christ lives in me and i live in this earthly body, trusting and
  • 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:32.966
  • Relying and depending on the son of god.
  • 00:02:32.966 --> 00:02:38.271
  • "the son of god," who by the way, "who loved me and who gave
  • 00:02:38.271 --> 00:02:44.210
  • Himself for me."
  • 00:02:44.210 --> 00:02:46.145
  • He loved me and demonstrated his love for me by dying for me.
  • 00:02:46.145 --> 00:02:51.050
  • He loved me and demonstrated himself, demonstrated his love
  • 00:02:51.050 --> 00:02:54.520
  • For me by going, going to the cross and dying and going to
  • 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.524
  • Hell for me.
  • 00:02:58.524 --> 00:03:00.293
  • And so here's the thing that i don't want you to forget.
  • 00:03:00.293 --> 00:03:03.496
  • I don't want you to just let it slip.
  • 00:03:03.496 --> 00:03:06.032
  • I live by the faith of the son of god.
  • 00:03:06.032 --> 00:03:10.970
  • That's how i live.
  • 00:03:10.970 --> 00:03:12.338
  • I live by his faith. praise the lord.
  • 00:03:12.338 --> 00:03:15.708
  • We live our lives resting in his faith.
  • 00:03:15.708 --> 00:03:21.514
  • His faith is the only faith.
  • 00:03:21.514 --> 00:03:24.917
  • His faith is completed.
  • 00:03:24.917 --> 00:03:27.687
  • His faith is done.
  • 00:03:27.687 --> 00:03:31.090
  • His faith is finished.
  • 00:03:31.090 --> 00:03:34.727
  • And i live my life, we live our life, by the faith of the son
  • 00:03:34.727 --> 00:03:39.365
  • Of god.
  • 00:03:39.365 --> 00:03:40.700
  • We live our life by the faith that is complete, that is
  • 00:03:40.700 --> 00:03:43.369
  • Finished, and that's done.
  • 00:03:43.369 --> 00:03:45.171
  • Praise god.
  • 00:03:45.171 --> 00:03:46.506
  • I live my life by the faith of the son of god and so understand
  • 00:03:46.506 --> 00:03:52.145
  • His faith is perfect, and it's finished.
  • 00:03:52.145 --> 00:03:55.715
  • So jesus now takes god's faith and literally jesus is an
  • 00:03:55.715 --> 00:04:04.524
  • Embodiment of god's perfect, completed, and done faith.
  • 00:04:04.524 --> 00:04:09.662
  • And so you and i live by god's faith which is jesus's faith.
  • 00:04:09.662 --> 00:04:17.603
  • Jesus's faith is a reflection of god's faith and we're living by
  • 00:04:17.603 --> 00:04:22.642
  • The faith of jesus christ and his faith is finished.
  • 00:04:22.642 --> 00:04:27.780
  • Say, "finished."
  • 00:04:27.780 --> 00:04:29.582
  • His faith is complete.
  • 00:04:29.582 --> 00:04:30.983
  • Say, "complete."
  • 00:04:30.983 --> 00:04:32.685
  • His faith is done.
  • 00:04:32.685 --> 00:04:34.287
  • Say, "done."
  • 00:04:34.287 --> 00:04:36.055
  • We live by that faith.
  • 00:04:36.055 --> 00:04:38.224
  • We don't need by faith that needs to be perfected.
  • 00:04:38.224 --> 00:04:41.961
  • We live by faith that is, that's done, that's perfect, that's
  • 00:04:41.961 --> 00:04:46.265
  • Finished, that's done, that's complete.
  • 00:04:46.265 --> 00:04:50.803
  • We live by the faith of jesus christ.
  • 00:04:50.803 --> 00:04:53.740
  • Now what happens sometimes as we live our lives, we forget that.
  • 00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:58.344
  • That's the topic sentence, that's the text of our life.
  • 00:04:58.344 --> 00:05:01.147
  • We live our faith--
  • 00:05:01.147 --> 00:05:02.515
  • I live my faith by the son of jesus christ.
  • 00:05:02.515 --> 00:05:04.217
  • What happens is when things happen, all of a sudden now we
  • 00:05:04.217 --> 00:05:07.186
  • Want to live by a human created faith and forget that we have a
  • 00:05:07.186 --> 00:05:10.857
  • Perfect complete and done faith.
  • 00:05:10.857 --> 00:05:12.892
  • And so when you look at situations, you're trying to,
  • 00:05:12.892 --> 00:05:15.027
  • You're trying to, you know, stir your faith up so you can get the
  • 00:05:15.027 --> 00:05:18.831
  • Job done.
  • 00:05:18.831 --> 00:05:20.199
  • And you don't understand that you live by the faith of the son
  • 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:21.934
  • Of god, which means the job's done.
  • 00:05:21.934 --> 00:05:24.737
  • You live by the faith of the son of god, which means
  • 00:05:24.737 --> 00:05:26.939
  • You're healed.
  • 00:05:26.939 --> 00:05:28.307
  • You live by the faith of the son of god, which means
  • 00:05:28.307 --> 00:05:29.909
  • You're delivered.
  • 00:05:29.909 --> 00:05:31.244
  • You're not forgetting this and then taking upon yourself your
  • 00:05:31.244 --> 00:05:35.681
  • Faith, which has been proven to be different than his faith.
  • 00:05:35.681 --> 00:05:40.153
  • He gave you the measure of faith which means he gave you
  • 00:05:40.153 --> 00:05:43.856
  • His faith.
  • 00:05:43.856 --> 00:05:45.291
  • You have his faith.
  • 00:05:45.291 --> 00:05:48.261
  • Look at how you treat his faith.
  • 00:05:48.261 --> 00:05:49.695
  • You treat his faith like it's inadequate and not enough and
  • 00:05:49.695 --> 00:05:55.735
  • Needs you to do something to make it better.
  • 00:05:55.735 --> 00:05:59.739
  • Oh, this didn't happen because i didn't have enough faith.
  • 00:05:59.739 --> 00:06:05.378
  • No, he gave to every man the measure of faith.
  • 00:06:05.378 --> 00:06:08.014
  • Everybody got the same measure of faith.
  • 00:06:08.014 --> 00:06:09.882
  • And guess what measure you got?
  • 00:06:09.882 --> 00:06:11.284
  • You got his faith.
  • 00:06:11.284 --> 00:06:12.618
  • That's the measure you got.
  • 00:06:12.618 --> 00:06:13.953
  • He measured his faith to jesus and now we live by the faith of
  • 00:06:13.953 --> 00:06:17.824
  • Jesus christ.
  • 00:06:17.824 --> 00:06:19.192
  • So you're always possessing a perfect, complete, and
  • 00:06:19.192 --> 00:06:22.462
  • Done faith.
  • 00:06:22.462 --> 00:06:26.699
  • But religion keeps telling us, "now wait a minute now brother
  • 00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:29.769
  • Dollar, you got to do these three things if you want this
  • 00:06:29.769 --> 00:06:32.338
  • To work.
  • 00:06:32.338 --> 00:06:33.673
  • And if it don't work, something's wrong with
  • 00:06:33.673 --> 00:06:35.641
  • Your faith."
  • 00:06:35.641 --> 00:06:37.009
  • Ah, the first thing you ought to say is, "it's not my faith that
  • 00:06:37.009 --> 00:06:39.612
  • I'm living by.
  • 00:06:39.612 --> 00:06:41.180
  • I'm living by the faith of the son of god."
  • 00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:44.217
  • Now that's, i know that's gotta do something to your thinking
  • 00:06:44.217 --> 00:06:46.652
  • Because all our lives, all of us did not think that it was a
  • 00:06:46.652 --> 00:06:51.624
  • Perfect faith that we needed to grow in faith.
  • 00:06:51.624 --> 00:06:55.561
  • No, we need to grow in grace.
  • 00:06:55.561 --> 00:07:00.299
  • Are you following what i'm saying now?
  • 00:07:00.299 --> 00:07:01.968
  • All right now watch this.
  • 00:07:01.968 --> 00:07:03.336
  • Let's go real slow with this.
  • 00:07:03.336 --> 00:07:04.670
  • I wanna make sure you get this.
  • 00:07:04.670 --> 00:07:06.038
  • We live our lives resting in his faith.
  • 00:07:06.038 --> 00:07:12.378
  • So, it's no longer what i have to do to get the promises
  • 00:07:12.378 --> 00:07:19.218
  • Of god.
  • 00:07:19.218 --> 00:07:20.653
  • It's not about doing.
  • 00:07:20.653 --> 00:07:23.990
  • It's about resting.
  • 00:07:23.990 --> 00:07:26.926
  • So god's made these promises and he's already done everything
  • 00:07:26.926 --> 00:07:30.363
  • That needs to be done.
  • 00:07:30.363 --> 00:07:32.031
  • And religion tells you, "all right, now you gotta do this in
  • 00:07:32.031 --> 00:07:35.234
  • Order to get this.
  • 00:07:35.234 --> 00:07:36.602
  • You gotta do good in order to get god to be good to you."
  • 00:07:36.602 --> 00:07:39.972
  • And it's not, it is not about your doing.
  • 00:07:39.972 --> 00:07:44.577
  • Oh boy, it took some time for me to renew my mind because
  • 00:07:44.577 --> 00:07:49.215
  • Everything about everything about my salvation was about me
  • 00:07:49.215 --> 00:07:52.818
  • Doing something to get god to do something.
  • 00:07:52.818 --> 00:07:56.622
  • And if i don't do my part, he can't do his part.
  • 00:07:56.622 --> 00:08:00.393
  • Do you really think god needs your part to do his part?
  • 00:08:00.393 --> 00:08:05.932
  • That the power of god is subject to what you do.
  • 00:08:05.932 --> 00:08:11.704
  • Do you understand that?
  • 00:08:11.704 --> 00:08:13.339
  • God is so powerful.
  • 00:08:13.339 --> 00:08:14.974
  • He's even more powerful than your will which he gave you, he
  • 00:08:14.974 --> 00:08:18.544
  • Gave you the right to choose whatever you want to choose and
  • 00:08:18.544 --> 00:08:21.314
  • He won't interfere with that right.
  • 00:08:21.314 --> 00:08:22.715
  • But he's so powerful, he'll change your desire, he'll change
  • 00:08:22.715 --> 00:08:25.885
  • The way you thought you wanted to go.
  • 00:08:25.885 --> 00:08:30.289
  • Who you think you're dealing with?
  • 00:08:30.289 --> 00:08:31.624
  • You dealing with the--he created you.
  • 00:08:31.624 --> 00:08:33.326
  • He made you know everything about you.
  • 00:08:33.326 --> 00:08:35.361
  • He know how to get you, how to--he know how to get you to
  • 00:08:35.361 --> 00:08:37.396
  • Turn left or turn you to the right.
  • 00:08:37.396 --> 00:08:38.731
  • He know you.
  • 00:08:38.731 --> 00:08:40.066
  • That's why he know everything about you.
  • 00:08:40.066 --> 00:08:41.434
  • He know exactly what button to push to get you to do what he
  • 00:08:41.434 --> 00:08:44.837
  • Wants you to do.
  • 00:08:44.837 --> 00:08:46.205
  • And he ain't making you do it.
  • 00:08:46.205 --> 00:08:47.540
  • You gonna make your mind up to do it.
  • 00:08:47.540 --> 00:08:49.842
  • Like some of you already made your mind, "i'm gonna serve god
  • 00:08:49.842 --> 00:08:52.244
  • For the rest of my life."
  • 00:08:52.244 --> 00:08:53.613
  • You made your mind up, "i ain't smoking that weed no more."
  • 00:08:53.613 --> 00:08:55.781
  • You made your mind up, "i ain't going to no more clubs.
  • 00:08:55.781 --> 00:08:57.850
  • I ain't drinking no more liquor."
  • 00:08:57.850 --> 00:08:59.218
  • And god just sitting there saying, "okay," because the
  • 00:08:59.218 --> 00:09:01.287
  • Bible says he's working on your desire so that you'll wanna do
  • 00:09:01.287 --> 00:09:04.924
  • What pleases him.
  • 00:09:04.924 --> 00:09:06.325
  • Turn to your neighbor and say, "god working on me too."
  • 00:09:10.262 --> 00:09:12.031
  • Sometimes we sit in church talking about, "yeah, he sure
  • 00:09:15.201 --> 00:09:16.669
  • Working on y'all."
  • 00:09:16.669 --> 00:09:21.273
  • It's not about doing, it's about resting.
  • 00:09:21.273 --> 00:09:26.112
  • And when i do that, i don't wonder if i have enough faith.
  • 00:09:26.112 --> 00:09:33.786
  • When i live by the faith of the son of god, i never again wonder
  • 00:09:33.786 --> 00:09:37.690
  • If i have enough faith.
  • 00:09:37.690 --> 00:09:39.792
  • If i live by the faith of the son of god, i never have to
  • 00:09:39.792 --> 00:09:43.295
  • Wonder if my faith is strong enough or adequate enough or
  • 00:09:43.295 --> 00:09:47.033
  • Complete enough.
  • 00:09:47.033 --> 00:09:48.567
  • I'm living by his faith that's already strong, adequate,
  • 00:09:48.567 --> 00:09:54.106
  • Complete, finished, and done.
  • 00:09:54.106 --> 00:09:58.177
  • Oh, don't that do something to you?
  • 00:09:58.177 --> 00:09:59.545
  • No, you ain't got to be concerned no more about whether
  • 00:09:59.545 --> 00:10:02.448
  • Your faith can get the job done.
  • 00:10:02.448 --> 00:10:04.784
  • Number one is his faith, number two, the job is finished.
  • 00:10:04.784 --> 00:10:10.589
  • So whatever victory you have to face today, you need to open
  • 00:10:10.589 --> 00:10:13.926
  • Your mouth up and echo victory done.
  • 00:10:13.926 --> 00:10:18.764
  • Whatever pain you feel in your side, say, "healing done."
  • 00:10:18.764 --> 00:10:23.402
  • Some frustration coming your way, say, "joy, done."
  • 00:10:23.402 --> 00:10:27.440
  • We've got to learn how to live in the finished.
  • 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:35.514
  • So you'll never again wonder if i have enough faith.
  • 00:10:35.514 --> 00:10:40.720
  • And then, i don't have to try and build my faith up if you
  • 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:47.293
  • Live by the faith of the son of god.
  • 00:10:47.293 --> 00:10:49.862
  • I don't have to try to build my faith up.
  • 00:10:49.862 --> 00:10:51.931
  • I only need to live life resting in his faith.
  • 00:10:51.931 --> 00:10:59.739
  • Live life resting in the faith of the son of god.
  • 00:10:59.739 --> 00:11:04.810
  • "oh, but brother dollar, don't we have to believe?"
  • 00:11:04.810 --> 00:11:08.647
  • Yeah, yeah, absolutely you have to believe.
  • 00:11:08.647 --> 00:11:11.951
  • Believe what?
  • 00:11:11.951 --> 00:11:13.285
  • Believe it's his faith.
  • 00:11:13.285 --> 00:11:14.887
  • Believe it's his faith that we live in.
  • 00:11:14.887 --> 00:11:16.589
  • That's what you believe.
  • 00:11:16.589 --> 00:11:18.090
  • You're believing it's his faith that we live in.
  • 00:11:18.090 --> 00:11:21.026
  • And you're believing that we rest in his faith.
  • 00:11:21.026 --> 00:11:25.331
  • That's what you're believing.
  • 00:11:25.331 --> 00:11:26.699
  • I believe it's his faith, and i believe i'm resting in
  • 00:11:26.699 --> 00:11:28.934
  • His faith.
  • 00:11:28.934 --> 00:11:30.302
  • That's what you believe.
  • 00:11:30.302 --> 00:11:32.204
  • "well, i believe i'm healed."
  • 00:11:32.204 --> 00:11:33.539
  • Well, that's already done.
  • 00:11:33.539 --> 00:11:34.907
  • If you believe in his faith and you believe you're resting in
  • 00:11:34.907 --> 00:11:38.244
  • His faith, then all that's finished.
  • 00:11:38.244 --> 00:11:41.080
  • Glory be to god, amen.
  • 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.818
  • And then we realize that his beliefs and that his believing
  • 00:11:45.818 --> 00:11:53.025
  • Is already finished in us.
  • 00:11:53.025 --> 00:11:56.529
  • That his belief, see, he believes you're righteous.
  • 00:11:56.529 --> 00:12:01.433
  • He believes you're holy.
  • 00:12:01.433 --> 00:12:03.903
  • He believes you're healed.
  • 00:12:03.903 --> 00:12:05.404
  • He believes you're delivered.
  • 00:12:05.404 --> 00:12:06.906
  • He believes you're prosperous.
  • 00:12:06.906 --> 00:12:11.043
  • My god.
  • 00:12:11.043 --> 00:12:12.645
  • Now i need to believe what he believes.
  • 00:12:12.645 --> 00:12:17.016
  • I need to believes what he believes.
  • 00:12:17.016 --> 00:12:19.518
  • Jesus is what god believes about us.
  • 00:12:19.518 --> 00:12:24.056
  • I need to believe what he believes.
  • 00:12:24.056 --> 00:12:27.293
  • His believing is already finished in us.
  • 00:12:27.293 --> 00:12:31.697
  • I really sat down and thought this through.
  • 00:12:31.697 --> 00:12:33.566
  • So god, here's what you're saying.
  • 00:12:33.566 --> 00:12:36.235
  • I need to wake up when confronted with life and every
  • 00:12:36.235 --> 00:12:40.873
  • One of my life issues, now that i realize that i live my life
  • 00:12:40.873 --> 00:12:44.877
  • Through the faith of jesus christ, i wake up and i confront
  • 00:12:44.877 --> 00:12:48.214
  • All of my issues by reminding every issue that the victory
  • 00:12:48.214 --> 00:12:54.420
  • Is finished.
  • 00:12:54.420 --> 00:12:58.591
  • You go to the doctor, the doctor say, "look like you got that."
  • 00:12:58.591 --> 00:13:01.193
  • You say, "it's finished."
  • 00:13:01.193 --> 00:13:03.128
  • He don't know what you're talking about, but you know what
  • 00:13:03.128 --> 00:13:04.864
  • You're talking about.
  • 00:13:04.864 --> 00:13:07.199
  • You go looking at your mailbox and bills in there and you're
  • 00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:09.935
  • Like, you don't sit up there, i'm gonna show you some things.
  • 00:13:09.935 --> 00:13:12.571
  • You don't sit up there and and whine and complain about it, you
  • 00:13:12.571 --> 00:13:15.841
  • Immediately go to finished.
  • 00:13:15.841 --> 00:13:19.545
  • You immediately go to finish.
  • 00:13:19.545 --> 00:13:21.747
  • Whatever you're thinking about.
  • 00:13:21.747 --> 00:13:23.115
  • "lord, i need this or i need you to do that.
  • 00:13:23.115 --> 00:13:24.917
  • Lord help me here."
  • 00:13:24.917 --> 00:13:26.252
  • I don't care what it is, it's done.
  • 00:13:26.252 --> 00:13:27.820
  • You understand god called the end at the very beginning.
  • 00:13:27.820 --> 00:13:30.356
  • It's finished.
  • 00:13:30.356 --> 00:13:31.690
  • He ain't in heaven waiting on you to send him a request.
  • 00:13:31.690 --> 00:13:37.630
  • Don't you know god knows your mind before you even
  • 00:13:37.630 --> 00:13:40.933
  • Say something.
  • 00:13:40.933 --> 00:13:42.268
  • You see that several times in the new testament.
  • 00:13:42.268 --> 00:13:43.602
  • God answers somebody who ain't asked nothing.
  • 00:13:43.602 --> 00:13:48.140
  • Why?
  • 00:13:48.140 --> 00:13:49.508
  • 'cause he knows their mind.
  • 00:13:49.508 --> 00:13:51.010
  • You got to know god know everything.
  • 00:13:51.010 --> 00:13:52.645
  • You got, we gotta quit this belittling god trying to bring
  • 00:13:52.645 --> 00:13:55.948
  • Him on a religious level so we can be satisfied with
  • 00:13:55.948 --> 00:13:59.652
  • Much activity.
  • 00:13:59.652 --> 00:14:02.421
  • It's time for us to rest in this.
  • 00:14:02.421 --> 00:14:04.223
  • And we're gonna prove this.
  • 00:14:04.223 --> 00:14:05.557
  • Several of you have already proved this.
  • 00:14:05.557 --> 00:14:06.926
  • Several of you are getting results and there are two things
  • 00:14:06.926 --> 00:14:09.628
  • That are happening.
  • 00:14:09.628 --> 00:14:10.996
  • You remind yourself that it's finished and then you enter into
  • 00:14:10.996 --> 00:14:13.465
  • A peace and a rest and a confidence and you're not
  • 00:14:13.465 --> 00:14:15.868
  • Stressing over it and then the next thing you see is the
  • 00:14:15.868 --> 00:14:18.103
  • Manifestation of the finish showing up in your realm.
  • 00:14:18.103 --> 00:14:23.475
  • And i'm gonna preach this, preach this, preach this until
  • 00:14:23.475 --> 00:14:26.245
  • You're being overrun by the glory of god that is increasing
  • 00:14:26.245 --> 00:14:30.749
  • In your life.
  • 00:14:30.749 --> 00:14:33.652
  • Somebody say it's finished.
  • 00:14:33.652 --> 00:14:35.754
  • And that's not based on what you see.
  • 00:14:35.754 --> 00:14:37.957
  • You can look at a rack and say it's finished.
  • 00:14:37.957 --> 00:14:41.260
  • Glory be to god.
  • 00:14:41.260 --> 00:14:43.829
  • It's time for us to stop trying to get god to move in on our
  • 00:14:43.829 --> 00:14:47.099
  • Round and for us to settle in where he is.
  • 00:14:47.099 --> 00:14:50.436
  • No, it doesn't look finished right now, right here in
  • 00:14:54.506 --> 00:14:56.842
  • This dimension.
  • 00:14:56.842 --> 00:14:58.177
  • It don't look like it's done in this dimension.
  • 00:14:58.177 --> 00:14:59.712
  • It don't look like it's completed in this dimension.
  • 00:14:59.712 --> 00:15:02.114
  • That's where his perfect faith comes from.
  • 00:15:02.114 --> 00:15:04.984
  • When you start living by the faith of jesus christ, then
  • 00:15:04.984 --> 00:15:07.987
  • Everything you see in this dimension is finished,
  • 00:15:07.987 --> 00:15:10.723
  • Completed, done, and peace shows over you and you enter into a
  • 00:15:10.723 --> 00:15:14.960
  • Rest because you realize, why am i fretting and stressed out over
  • 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:19.798
  • Something that's done.
  • 00:15:19.798 --> 00:15:22.501
  • You know what the big battle is for us?
  • 00:15:22.501 --> 00:15:25.204
  • Standing there.
  • 00:15:25.204 --> 00:15:28.674
  • You know what the devil and the life and the tricks he wants
  • 00:15:28.674 --> 00:15:31.310
  • To do?
  • 00:15:31.310 --> 00:15:32.678
  • Get you to move from there.
  • 00:15:32.678 --> 00:15:34.847
  • You know how he gonna do it?
  • 00:15:34.847 --> 00:15:36.215
  • He gonna start talking to you here.
  • 00:15:36.215 --> 00:15:38.617
  • So it's gonna be here to try to get you to move from there and
  • 00:15:38.617 --> 00:15:42.454
  • If he can get you to move from there, then you'll entertain
  • 00:15:42.454 --> 00:15:45.457
  • Other stuff and he can borrow your mouth.
  • 00:15:45.457 --> 00:15:48.494
  • That's why demons want to possess people 'cause they ain't
  • 00:15:48.494 --> 00:15:51.663
  • Got no voice no more.
  • 00:15:51.663 --> 00:15:54.066
  • They are disembodied spirits.
  • 00:15:54.066 --> 00:15:56.969
  • Those evil wicked spirits, disembodied spirits looking for
  • 00:15:56.969 --> 00:16:00.506
  • Some body.
  • 00:16:00.506 --> 00:16:03.842
  • Why are they looking for some body?
  • 00:16:03.842 --> 00:16:06.912
  • Because that body has a voice, it has a mouth.
  • 00:16:06.912 --> 00:16:10.682
  • And they can't defeat you as long as you are in the finished.
  • 00:16:10.682 --> 00:16:16.055
  • So they gotta get you out of the dawn.
  • 00:16:16.055 --> 00:16:18.123
  • They gotta get you out of the now.
  • 00:16:18.123 --> 00:16:20.059
  • See, as christians we have to live in the now.
  • 00:16:20.059 --> 00:16:22.895
  • Everything we do has got to be in the now.
  • 00:16:22.895 --> 00:16:25.464
  • Now is not bound by time.
  • 00:16:25.464 --> 00:16:27.866
  • I'm healed now, not later on.
  • 00:16:27.866 --> 00:16:30.669
  • I'm delivered now, not later on.
  • 00:16:30.669 --> 00:16:33.372
  • Glory to god.
  • 00:16:33.372 --> 00:16:34.740
  • I'm prosperous now, not later on.
  • 00:16:34.740 --> 00:16:37.209
  • I'm the righteousness of god now, not later on
  • 00:16:37.209 --> 00:16:46.051
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:16:49.588 --> 00:16:54.259
  • So what does it mean to rest?
  • 00:16:54.259 --> 00:16:58.864
  • We already said it's not inactivity.
  • 00:16:58.864 --> 00:17:00.732
  • So what does it look like to rest?
  • 00:17:00.732 --> 00:17:04.369
  • What if a christian says, "yes, i'm at rest."
  • 00:17:04.369 --> 00:17:06.271
  • How do you, how do you know if that's authentic or is he just
  • 00:17:06.271 --> 00:17:09.074
  • Talking, you know, because christians love to talk.
  • 00:17:09.074 --> 00:17:10.542
  • Well, how do you know that's real?
  • 00:17:10.542 --> 00:17:13.112
  • "well, i'm resting in the lord."
  • 00:17:13.112 --> 00:17:14.913
  • Just keep listening, keep listening, keep listening,
  • 00:17:14.913 --> 00:17:17.216
  • Keep listening.
  • 00:17:17.216 --> 00:17:18.784
  • They'll tell you whether they're at rest or not.
  • 00:17:18.784 --> 00:17:21.887
  • What does it look like?
  • 00:17:21.887 --> 00:17:23.589
  • Well, it means, now, think about this as i said it.
  • 00:17:23.589 --> 00:17:29.027
  • When you rest, it means to be in confidence.
  • 00:17:29.027 --> 00:17:33.398
  • You're in confidence.
  • 00:17:33.398 --> 00:17:35.767
  • I'm at rest, i'm in confidence.
  • 00:17:35.767 --> 00:17:40.205
  • I'm at rest.
  • 00:17:40.205 --> 00:17:41.573
  • I'm in trust or reliance.
  • 00:17:41.573 --> 00:17:43.609
  • That's what trust means.
  • 00:17:43.609 --> 00:17:46.044
  • At rest.
  • 00:17:46.044 --> 00:17:47.412
  • I'm in confident.
  • 00:17:47.412 --> 00:17:48.747
  • It's not inactivity, but in activity i am in confidence.
  • 00:17:48.747 --> 00:17:52.618
  • It's not an absence of work, but while i'm working i'm
  • 00:17:52.618 --> 00:17:55.053
  • In confidence.
  • 00:17:55.053 --> 00:17:56.889
  • While i'm getting up in the morning, i'm in confidence.
  • 00:17:56.889 --> 00:17:59.892
  • While i'm going to work, i'm in confidence.
  • 00:17:59.892 --> 00:18:01.627
  • While i'm living my life, i'm in confidence.
  • 00:18:01.627 --> 00:18:04.196
  • I'm in reliance on god, i am trusting god.
  • 00:18:04.196 --> 00:18:07.332
  • It literally rest means to totally depend on god for
  • 00:18:07.332 --> 00:18:11.637
  • Support, for help, for power.
  • 00:18:11.637 --> 00:18:15.073
  • Really to depend on god for everything.
  • 00:18:15.073 --> 00:18:18.210
  • Everything you need.
  • 00:18:18.210 --> 00:18:19.545
  • It's is complete surrender and trust.
  • 00:18:19.545 --> 00:18:22.514
  • Complete surrender and trust.
  • 00:18:22.514 --> 00:18:24.683
  • It means that we cast our cares over on him, knowing that he
  • 00:18:24.683 --> 00:18:29.821
  • Cares for us and that we are not created to carry, worry, stress,
  • 00:18:29.821 --> 00:18:35.060
  • And anxiety.
  • 00:18:35.060 --> 00:18:37.196
  • To rest means that i cast my care totally on him.
  • 00:18:37.196 --> 00:18:44.069
  • And all of a sudden now i have a way to examine whether or not a
  • 00:18:44.069 --> 00:18:47.806
  • Person is at rest.
  • 00:18:47.806 --> 00:18:49.741
  • If a person is at rest, then the cares are no longer in
  • 00:18:49.741 --> 00:18:55.681
  • His possession.
  • 00:18:55.681 --> 00:18:57.783
  • If a person is at rest, then the worry is no longer in
  • 00:18:57.783 --> 00:19:02.754
  • His possession.
  • 00:19:02.754 --> 00:19:05.224
  • If a person is at rest, the anxiety is no longer in
  • 00:19:05.224 --> 00:19:12.164
  • His possession.
  • 00:19:12.164 --> 00:19:14.967
  • But wait a minute, brother dollar.
  • 00:19:14.967 --> 00:19:16.368
  • I mean, we're humans.
  • 00:19:16.368 --> 00:19:17.936
  • Humans worry and humans carry care and humans are anxious.
  • 00:19:17.936 --> 00:19:27.246
  • And i was going back and forth with god this morning
  • 00:19:27.246 --> 00:19:30.949
  • About 4:30.
  • 00:19:30.949 --> 00:19:33.986
  • And he said, let me say this to you.
  • 00:19:33.986 --> 00:19:37.456
  • You got to be careful not to be so satisfied with being human,
  • 00:19:37.456 --> 00:19:42.728
  • You neglect being spiritual.
  • 00:19:42.728 --> 00:19:45.364
  • He said, "yeah, you are human, but you're the human that i want
  • 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.104
  • To learn how to be spiritual."
  • 00:19:52.104 --> 00:19:55.407
  • I said, "thank you lord."
  • 00:19:55.407 --> 00:19:57.643
  • Because i was saying, "oh yeah, but god, we're human."
  • 00:19:57.643 --> 00:20:00.679
  • He said, "yeah, and it's finished.
  • 00:20:00.679 --> 00:20:04.116
  • So you're gonna have to choose.
  • 00:20:04.116 --> 00:20:07.286
  • You can choose to carry the care and say, i'm worried.
  • 00:20:07.286 --> 00:20:13.859
  • I'm sorry, i'm worried.
  • 00:20:13.859 --> 00:20:15.193
  • That's what i do, i worry," okay.
  • 00:20:15.193 --> 00:20:19.498
  • And in worry, you have allowed yourself to step out
  • 00:20:19.498 --> 00:20:23.402
  • Of finished.
  • 00:20:23.402 --> 00:20:26.538
  • And in care, you've allowed yourself to step out of finish.
  • 00:20:26.538 --> 00:20:30.008
  • I'm just telling you, so if ain't nothing coming in your
  • 00:20:30.008 --> 00:20:32.244
  • Dimension, it's because you're saying you're at rest and
  • 00:20:32.244 --> 00:20:36.315
  • You're not.
  • 00:20:36.315 --> 00:20:39.951
  • Yeah, but ain't that doing something?
  • 00:20:39.951 --> 00:20:44.189
  • Yeah, it's deciding to stay in finished or step out
  • 00:20:44.189 --> 00:20:48.193
  • Of finished.
  • 00:20:48.193 --> 00:20:49.661
  • It's finished whether you worry or not.
  • 00:20:49.661 --> 00:20:53.165
  • But if you want the manifestation of the
  • 00:20:53.165 --> 00:20:55.300
  • Finished, rest.
  • 00:20:55.300 --> 00:20:59.638
  • That's what rest look like.
  • 00:20:59.638 --> 00:21:01.173
  • Rest looks like a person who ain't worrying no more.
  • 00:21:01.173 --> 00:21:04.710
  • And listen, this is not like in two minutes you got this.
  • 00:21:04.710 --> 00:21:08.747
  • This is your journey now.
  • 00:21:08.747 --> 00:21:11.249
  • My journey now is, i carry a lot of care.
  • 00:21:11.249 --> 00:21:15.754
  • Help me, lord.
  • 00:21:15.754 --> 00:21:17.723
  • Help me lord, to stay out of care and in the finished.
  • 00:21:17.723 --> 00:21:24.863
  • And then every time you see yourself in care, "oh god," hop
  • 00:21:24.863 --> 00:21:27.766
  • Back in finish.
  • 00:21:27.766 --> 00:21:29.234
  • I got a little something i've been practicing lately.
  • 00:21:29.234 --> 00:21:31.503
  • I say, "it's a trick."
  • 00:21:31.503 --> 00:21:35.807
  • Every time i'm over here with care and anxiety and i'm getting
  • 00:21:35.807 --> 00:21:38.677
  • Ready to be overwhelmed with something that i don't need to
  • 00:21:38.677 --> 00:21:41.513
  • Be meditating on, it's like a trick.
  • 00:21:41.513 --> 00:21:43.648
  • I say, "it's finished."
  • 00:21:43.648 --> 00:21:44.983
  • And then i say, "that's a trick."
  • 00:21:44.983 --> 00:21:46.685
  • I just talk real loud cause i know.
  • 00:21:46.685 --> 00:21:48.453
  • "devil, that's a trick.
  • 00:21:48.453 --> 00:21:49.788
  • I know you.
  • 00:21:49.788 --> 00:21:51.123
  • That's a trick."
  • 00:21:51.123 --> 00:21:52.491
  • And i'll be walking around i'm like that's a trick.
  • 00:21:52.491 --> 00:21:53.992
  • I get to worrying about something.
  • 00:21:57.129 --> 00:21:58.463
  • I can't believe such.
  • 00:21:58.463 --> 00:21:59.831
  • I said no and then and i stop.
  • 00:21:59.831 --> 00:22:01.166
  • "that's a trick."
  • 00:22:01.166 --> 00:22:02.534
  • Purina cat chow, right back where i was in the finish.
  • 00:22:02.534 --> 00:22:06.037
  • See, a lot of times you'll walk out of the finish, but make sure
  • 00:22:06.037 --> 00:22:08.840
  • You're purina cat chow back in there.
  • 00:22:08.840 --> 00:22:10.809
  • Some of y'all don't even know what that was there.
  • 00:22:10.809 --> 00:22:12.477
  • You remember that commercial with the cat?
  • 00:22:12.477 --> 00:22:15.080
  • Remember the courage of cat--that cat used to move
  • 00:22:15.080 --> 00:22:17.983
  • Purina cat chow, chow, chow, chow.
  • 00:22:17.983 --> 00:22:20.352
  • Remember that?
  • 00:22:20.352 --> 00:22:23.288
  • Aight, aight.
  • 00:22:23.288 --> 00:22:28.093
  • I have to show you the practical part of this because we're still
  • 00:22:32.330 --> 00:22:37.869
  • In the physical body and the care shows up sometimes.
  • 00:22:37.869 --> 00:22:41.406
  • But if i can just get you to know when you're out of finished
  • 00:22:41.406 --> 00:22:45.811
  • And into the care and shed that care and get back in finish.
  • 00:22:45.811 --> 00:22:51.149
  • And if you can stay in finish long enough, god will take care
  • 00:22:51.149 --> 00:22:54.653
  • Of the care.
  • 00:22:54.653 --> 00:22:55.987
  • If you stay in finish long enough, you can look back at
  • 00:22:55.987 --> 00:22:57.956
  • Your dimension and the care is gonna be gone 'cause god cares
  • 00:22:57.956 --> 00:23:00.959
  • For you.
  • 00:23:00.959 --> 00:23:03.462
  • Care, isn't it amazing care and stress and anxiety can also
  • 00:23:03.462 --> 00:23:07.699
  • Translate into cancer, heart disease, and high blood
  • 00:23:07.699 --> 00:23:11.870
  • Pressure, isn't that something?
  • 00:23:11.870 --> 00:23:13.205
  • It can manifest something because you're out of that realm
  • 00:23:13.205 --> 00:23:16.641
  • Over into this realm and you don't think about it.
  • 00:23:16.641 --> 00:23:18.643
