  • Creflo: this morning, for a few minutes, i want to talk to you
  • 00:01:57.597 --> 00:02:00.200
  • From the subject entitled "resurrection benefits,"
  • 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.572
  • "resurrection benefits."
  • 00:02:05.572 --> 00:02:08.541
  • In other words, you--we hear about the resurrection, we
  • 00:02:08.541 --> 00:02:11.611
  • Celebrate easter every year, and we need to know what benefit for
  • 00:02:11.611 --> 00:02:21.120
  • Me, for my family, for my life comes from resurrection.
  • 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.593
  • The resurrection of jesus christ is a significant event in our
  • 00:02:26.593 --> 00:02:32.031
  • Christian faith.
  • 00:02:32.031 --> 00:02:33.967
  • It is the foundation of our belief and the reason why we
  • 00:02:33.967 --> 00:02:38.004
  • Have hope in eternal life.
  • 00:02:38.004 --> 00:02:40.974
  • The resurrection of jesus christ is the cornerstone of our faith,
  • 00:02:40.974 --> 00:02:45.545
  • And it is something that we celebrate every year.
  • 00:02:45.545 --> 00:02:49.849
  • The resurrection of christ is a powerful and life-changing
  • 00:02:49.849 --> 00:02:54.287
  • Event, and today we will explore the many benefits of
  • 00:02:54.287 --> 00:03:01.127
  • This resurrection.
  • 00:03:01.127 --> 00:03:03.863
  • I want to, if i have time, to share with you 11 benefits, with
  • 00:03:03.863 --> 00:03:08.901
  • Scriptural reference, so that you'll walk out of here, not
  • 00:03:08.901 --> 00:03:12.372
  • Just, you know, a usual normal easter celebration, but you will
  • 00:03:12.372 --> 00:03:20.213
  • Know how his resurrection has impact on your life and that
  • 00:03:20.213 --> 00:03:26.352
  • Every day you can take hold of this impact that's come--that
  • 00:03:26.352 --> 00:03:31.124
  • Comes as a result of the resurrection.
  • 00:03:31.124 --> 00:03:32.725
  • We are celebrating the resurrection of the lord jesus
  • 00:03:32.725 --> 00:03:36.262
  • Christ, this is resurrection sunday.
  • 00:03:36.262 --> 00:03:41.501
  • So, the first benefit, the resurrection, number one, gives
  • 00:03:41.501 --> 00:03:47.140
  • Us hope.
  • 00:03:47.140 --> 00:03:49.509
  • The resurrection gives us hope.
  • 00:03:49.509 --> 00:03:53.579
  • It is the hope of eternal life, and the resurrection gives us
  • 00:03:53.579 --> 00:03:59.652
  • Hope of eternal life, which is the foundation of our faith.
  • 00:03:59.652 --> 00:04:03.523
  • The resurrection says to us that when we die believing in jesus,
  • 00:04:03.523 --> 00:04:08.695
  • When we die saved, when we die as christians, satan didn't win
  • 00:04:08.695 --> 00:04:13.333
  • Because the resurrection gives us hope of eternal life.
  • 00:04:13.333 --> 00:04:17.070
  • Look at 1 peter chapter 1, and verse 3 through 4, 1 peter
  • 00:04:17.070 --> 00:04:21.741
  • Chapter 1, and verse 3 through 4 in the king james.
  • 00:04:21.741 --> 00:04:26.145
  • And he says here, he says, "blessed be the god and father
  • 00:04:26.145 --> 00:04:30.283
  • Of our lord jesus christ, which according to his abundant mercy
  • 00:04:30.283 --> 00:04:35.121
  • Hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection
  • 00:04:35.121 --> 00:04:42.028
  • Of jesus christ from the dead."
  • 00:04:42.028 --> 00:04:44.564
  • See, we have a hope or an expectation, we leave this place
  • 00:04:44.564 --> 00:04:50.169
  • With an expectation that we're gonna be raised from the dead
  • 00:04:50.169 --> 00:04:54.507
  • Because of the resurrection of jesus christ.
  • 00:04:54.507 --> 00:04:56.843
  • Verse 4, "it is to an inheritance incorruptible, and
  • 00:04:56.843 --> 00:05:01.481
  • Undefiled, and that fadeth not away, it's reserved in heaven
  • 00:05:01.481 --> 00:05:06.819
  • For you."
  • 00:05:06.819 --> 00:05:08.354
  • See, i got good news for you, you will--everybody's gonna die
  • 00:05:08.354 --> 00:05:12.291
  • One day, but you wanna make sure you die as a christian, you
  • 00:05:12.291 --> 00:05:16.796
  • Wanna make sure you die as somebody that got saved, you
  • 00:05:16.796 --> 00:05:19.565
  • Wanna make sure you die as somebody that believed in the
  • 00:05:19.565 --> 00:05:22.769
  • Lord jesus christ.
  • 00:05:22.769 --> 00:05:24.103
  • And when you die, when somebody--when--as somebody who
  • 00:05:24.103 --> 00:05:27.807
  • Believed in the lord jesus christ, then your great hope is
  • 00:05:27.807 --> 00:05:31.878
  • I am going to be raised from the dead and i am gonna have eternal
  • 00:05:31.878 --> 00:05:36.916
  • Life in heaven with the lord jesus christ.
  • 00:05:36.916 --> 00:05:40.119
  • So i tell you right now, those who are born again, when they
  • 00:05:40.119 --> 00:05:43.089
  • Die, understand the old song, "don't cry for me," because it's
  • 00:05:43.089 --> 00:05:48.528
  • Not like what you think it is.
  • 00:05:48.528 --> 00:05:50.129
  • It might be sad on your side, but on the other side they are
  • 00:05:50.129 --> 00:05:53.633
  • Having a party, they're having that, "i used to."
  • 00:05:53.633 --> 00:05:56.636
  • I don't know if they'll sing that there, so i'll stop
  • 00:05:59.972 --> 00:06:01.941
  • Right there.
  • 00:06:01.941 --> 00:06:04.310
  • And so you gotta understand that this hope is not just wishful
  • 00:06:04.310 --> 00:06:07.713
  • Thinking, but it is a confident expectation that we will spend
  • 00:06:07.713 --> 00:06:13.786
  • Eternity with god, and the church said amen.
  • 00:06:13.786 --> 00:06:18.357
  • Here's the second benefit, romans chapter 4:25 in the nlt,
  • 00:06:18.357 --> 00:06:22.361
  • The second benefit, the resurrection gives
  • 00:06:22.361 --> 00:06:25.164
  • Us forgiveness.
  • 00:06:25.164 --> 00:06:27.633
  • The resurrection gives us forgiveness.
  • 00:06:27.633 --> 00:06:30.770
  • In romans chapter 4 and verse 25, he says, "he was handed over
  • 00:06:30.770 --> 00:06:34.807
  • To die," why?
  • 00:06:34.807 --> 00:06:37.109
  • "because of our sins," that's why he died.
  • 00:06:37.109 --> 00:06:40.246
  • "he was handed over to die because of our sins, and he is
  • 00:06:40.246 --> 00:06:43.616
  • Raised to life to make us right with god."
  • 00:06:43.616 --> 00:06:48.354
  • See, he was handed over to die 'cause he died to save me from
  • 00:06:48.354 --> 00:06:52.191
  • My sins, he took on all my sins upon his body, but the scripture
  • 00:06:52.191 --> 00:06:56.562
  • Says he was raised to life to make me right with god.
  • 00:06:56.562 --> 00:07:01.267
  • I have an assurance that god has forgiven me.
  • 00:07:01.267 --> 00:07:04.704
  • The resurrection of jesus christ assures me that god has forgiven
  • 00:07:04.704 --> 00:07:09.375
  • Me from all of my sins.
  • 00:07:09.375 --> 00:07:10.776
  • So don't walk around sin-conscious, don't get up in
  • 00:07:10.776 --> 00:07:13.346
  • The morning talking about, "lord, forgive me for the sins i
  • 00:07:13.346 --> 00:07:15.314
  • Hadn't committed yet."
  • 00:07:15.314 --> 00:07:17.149
  • Jesus was raised from the dead, you can believe that all your
  • 00:07:17.149 --> 00:07:21.020
  • Sins have been forgiven.
  • 00:07:21.020 --> 00:07:22.855
  • The resurrection of jesus christ was the ultimate sacrifice that
  • 00:07:22.855 --> 00:07:26.259
  • Paid the penalty for our sins, and this means that through
  • 00:07:26.259 --> 00:07:30.263
  • Faith in jesus christ, we can be forgiven of our sins and we can
  • 00:07:30.263 --> 00:07:34.534
  • Have a right relationship with god because his resurrection
  • 00:07:34.534 --> 00:07:39.505
  • Gives us forgiveness.
  • 00:07:39.505 --> 00:07:40.840
  • Number three, the third benefit of his resurrection, the
  • 00:07:40.840 --> 00:07:49.415
  • Resurrection of jesus christ gives us power.
  • 00:07:49.415 --> 00:07:53.986
  • Everybody say power.
  • 00:07:53.986 --> 00:07:56.155
  • Now, power is the ability to get results, power is the ability to
  • 00:07:56.155 --> 00:08:03.563
  • Get the job done.
  • 00:08:03.563 --> 00:08:05.731
  • Look at philippians chapter 3 and verse 10, his resurrection
  • 00:08:05.731 --> 00:08:09.402
  • Gives us the ability to have power.
  • 00:08:09.402 --> 00:08:15.141
  • Verse 10, he says this, and he says, "i want to know christ and
  • 00:08:15.141 --> 00:08:22.348
  • Experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead."
  • 00:08:22.348 --> 00:08:26.852
  • Now, he says here, i want to experience the power that raised
  • 00:08:26.852 --> 00:08:29.722
  • Him from the dead.
  • 00:08:29.722 --> 00:08:31.057
  • I'm telling you it was the power of god that raised jesus from
  • 00:08:31.057 --> 00:08:36.095
  • The dead, and he is saying because that power was
  • 00:08:36.095 --> 00:08:40.533
  • Responsible for raising him from the dead, you and i will
  • 00:08:40.533 --> 00:08:44.136
  • Experience the very same power that raised jesus from the dead.
  • 00:08:44.136 --> 00:08:49.141
  • He says, "i want to suffer with him and share in his death, and
  • 00:08:49.141 --> 00:08:55.314
  • So that one way or another i will experience the resurrection
  • 00:08:55.314 --> 00:08:58.684
  • From the dead!"
  • 00:08:58.684 --> 00:09:00.052
  • I don't know what you need to be raised from, but i do know that
  • 00:09:00.052 --> 00:09:04.924
  • You have access to the power to raise you from whatever it is
  • 00:09:04.924 --> 00:09:09.395
  • You're in.
  • 00:09:09.395 --> 00:09:10.763
  • See, jesus had access to the power that raised him from
  • 00:09:10.763 --> 00:09:13.966
  • The dead.
  • 00:09:13.966 --> 00:09:15.334
  • You might need to be raised out of depression.
  • 00:09:15.334 --> 00:09:17.503
  • You might need to be raised out of debt.
  • 00:09:17.503 --> 00:09:19.672
  • You might need to be raised out of a bad relationship.
  • 00:09:19.672 --> 00:09:22.675
  • You might need to be raised out of unemployment.
  • 00:09:22.675 --> 00:09:25.945
  • You might need to be raised out of some sickness or disease
  • 00:09:25.945 --> 00:09:28.914
  • That's on your body, but the assurance is, is that the
  • 00:09:28.914 --> 00:09:32.318
  • Resurrection of jesus christ grants you access to power that
  • 00:09:32.318 --> 00:09:38.057
  • Raised jesus from the dead, and that same power that raised
  • 00:09:38.057 --> 00:09:41.794
  • Jesus from the dead can certainly raise you out of
  • 00:09:41.794 --> 00:09:44.397
  • Your mess.
  • 00:09:44.397 --> 00:09:45.765
  • So what we need to do is in the midst of challenges, we need to
  • 00:09:49.035 --> 00:09:52.104
  • Just go to god and say, father, i trust you that the power
  • 00:09:52.104 --> 00:09:56.008
  • That's in me is going to assist me in getting me out of this
  • 00:09:56.008 --> 00:10:00.312
  • Challenge right now.
  • 00:10:00.312 --> 00:10:01.647
  • Quit looking to yourself every time you go through something
  • 00:10:01.647 --> 00:10:04.650
  • And look to jesus, praise god.
  • 00:10:04.650 --> 00:10:07.586
  • Are you listening to me now?
  • 00:10:07.586 --> 00:10:09.555
  • Number four, the fourth benefit, the resurrection gives
  • 00:10:09.555 --> 00:10:13.325
  • Us victory, watch this, over death.
  • 00:10:13.325 --> 00:10:17.897
  • The resurrection gives us victory over death, 1
  • 00:10:17.897 --> 00:10:21.300
  • Corinthians 15, verse 54 through 57, the king james.
  • 00:10:21.300 --> 00:10:25.738
  • 1 corinthians 15, verse 54 through 57, this is
  • 00:10:25.738 --> 00:10:30.576
  • Amazing, man.
  • 00:10:30.576 --> 00:10:31.911
  • He says, "so when this corruption," look at this now,
  • 00:10:31.911 --> 00:10:35.414
  • "when this corruption," now, he's referring to this physical
  • 00:10:35.414 --> 00:10:39.585
  • Body, this body is gonna be corrupted.
  • 00:10:39.585 --> 00:10:43.856
  • "when this corruption shall put on incorruption," now, now
  • 00:10:43.856 --> 00:10:47.526
  • You're gonna take off the physical body and you're gonna
  • 00:10:47.526 --> 00:10:49.795
  • Put on your glorified body.
  • 00:10:49.795 --> 00:10:52.865
  • He says, "and this mortal," you're mortal because you don't
  • 00:10:52.865 --> 00:10:57.369
  • Live forever.
  • 00:10:57.369 --> 00:10:58.738
  • You were created to live forever, but sin stopped that.
  • 00:10:58.738 --> 00:11:02.541
  • He says, "and this mortal shall have put on immortality," so
  • 00:11:02.541 --> 00:11:06.645
  • There's coming a time where you're gonna take off this
  • 00:11:06.645 --> 00:11:08.681
  • Mortal, having to die, and put on the immortality, never having
  • 00:11:08.681 --> 00:11:14.320
  • To die, my god, "then shall be brought to pass the saying that
  • 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:21.460
  • Is written, death is swallowed up in victory."
  • 00:11:21.460 --> 00:11:26.732
  • Verse 55, " o death, where is thy sting?
  • 00:11:26.732 --> 00:11:30.536
  • O grave, where is thy victory?
  • 00:11:30.536 --> 00:11:33.639
  • The sting of death," look at this, "the sting of death is
  • 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:38.444
  • Sin," it's a sting, "and the strength of sin is the law."
  • 00:11:38.444 --> 00:11:46.318
  • So he says the law strengthens sin, and you're still trying to
  • 00:11:46.318 --> 00:11:51.891
  • Live by the laws in the old testament, because that's what
  • 00:11:51.891 --> 00:11:56.695
  • You're used to living by.
  • 00:11:56.695 --> 00:11:58.364
  • You come to church and you hear about the laws, and so what
  • 00:11:58.364 --> 00:12:00.966
  • Happens, as a pastor, if i sit up here and just preach the law
  • 00:12:00.966 --> 00:12:05.137
  • Of moses to you, guess what happens?
  • 00:12:05.137 --> 00:12:07.439
  • I am strengthening sin in your life.
  • 00:12:07.439 --> 00:12:11.844
  • It's a guarantee you're gonna be sinning somewhere because i'm
  • 00:12:11.844 --> 00:12:15.347
  • Preaching what gives sin strength.
  • 00:12:15.347 --> 00:12:20.619
  • The resurrection of jesus christ is the proof that death has been
  • 00:12:20.619 --> 00:12:26.358
  • Defeated, and we have the assurance that we will be raised
  • 00:12:26.358 --> 00:12:31.297
  • To eternal life, amen.
  • 00:12:31.297 --> 00:12:34.834
  • Number five, here's the fifth benefit, the resurrection gives
  • 00:12:34.834 --> 00:12:38.504
  • Us peace.
  • 00:12:38.504 --> 00:12:40.306
  • Oh my god, i believe the number one thing satan is after in our
  • 00:12:40.306 --> 00:12:45.377
  • Lives is our peace.
  • 00:12:45.377 --> 00:12:49.281
  • Yeah, he'll leave your money alone, but he want to mess with
  • 00:12:49.281 --> 00:12:52.785
  • Your peace.
  • 00:12:52.785 --> 00:12:54.553
  • He'll leave your relationships alone, but he want to mess with
  • 00:12:54.553 --> 00:12:56.822
  • Your peace.
  • 00:12:56.822 --> 00:12:58.324
  • He'll let you get your job and your promotion, but he wanna
  • 00:12:58.324 --> 00:13:00.926
  • Mess with your peace.
  • 00:13:00.926 --> 00:13:03.929
  • John 14, verse 27 in the king james.
  • 00:13:03.929 --> 00:13:08.300
  • Jesus's resurrection gives us peace, and he says,
  • 00:13:08.300 --> 00:13:12.938
  • "peace," jesus says, "peace i leave with you," now check this
  • 00:13:12.938 --> 00:13:16.575
  • Out, these two words, "my peace."
  • 00:13:16.575 --> 00:13:20.079
  • So you don't understand, when you get jesus's peace, that's
  • 00:13:20.079 --> 00:13:24.483
  • Different from the world's peace.
  • 00:13:24.483 --> 00:13:28.187
  • We--we're not talking about getting a massage and getting
  • 00:13:28.187 --> 00:13:30.289
  • Some peace right now, we're not talking about taking a deep
  • 00:13:30.289 --> 00:13:32.558
  • Breath and blowing out.
  • 00:13:32.558 --> 00:13:33.926
  • We're talking about the peace of jesus that will be there in the
  • 00:13:33.926 --> 00:13:36.795
  • Midst of all hell breaking loose.
  • 00:13:36.795 --> 00:13:38.797
  • We're talking about the peace of jesus that in the middle of
  • 00:13:38.797 --> 00:13:41.700
  • Trouble people don't even understand how is it that you're
  • 00:13:41.700 --> 00:13:44.503
  • Able to stand, and you tell them it's the peace of jesus.
  • 00:13:44.503 --> 00:13:47.606
  • You tell them i don't understand how i'm able to stand, but it's
  • 00:13:47.606 --> 00:13:51.076
  • The peace of jesus.
  • 00:13:51.076 --> 00:13:52.645
  • The peace that jesus gives is not like the peace the world
  • 00:13:52.645 --> 00:13:56.248
  • Gives, it's a peace that transcends all understanding,
  • 00:13:56.248 --> 00:14:02.454
  • And it enables us to have confidence while we're in a
  • 00:14:02.454 --> 00:14:07.393
  • Trial or tribulation.
  • 00:14:07.393 --> 00:14:09.862
  • Oh, that feels so good!
  • 00:14:09.862 --> 00:14:11.463
  • In the middle of it, you got confidence that somehow, it's
  • 00:14:11.463 --> 00:14:17.036
  • Gonna be all right.
  • 00:14:17.036 --> 00:14:19.071
  • Number six, here's the sixth benefit.
  • 00:14:19.071 --> 00:14:23.108
  • The resurrection gives us, oh lord, joy.
  • 00:14:23.108 --> 00:14:26.478
  • Now, i didn't say happiness, i said joy.
  • 00:14:29.915 --> 00:14:32.084
  • Now, if you keep your joy long enough, you'll get happy.
  • 00:14:35.154 --> 00:14:40.359
  • But joy comes from what you know, happiness is based on your
  • 00:14:40.359 --> 00:14:46.765
  • Condition in life.
  • 00:14:46.765 --> 00:14:49.935
  • Now look at this, john 16:22, he was equipping us, man.
  • 00:14:49.935 --> 00:14:54.740
  • John 16:22, he said, "and you now therefore have sorrow: but i
  • 00:14:54.740 --> 00:15:01.046
  • Will see you again," look at where the joy comes from, "and
  • 00:15:01.046 --> 00:15:06.218
  • Your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh
  • 00:15:06.218 --> 00:15:12.591
  • From you."
  • 00:15:12.591 --> 00:15:14.994
  • All right, now, you gotta look at the foundation here, he says,
  • 00:15:14.994 --> 00:15:18.197
  • "i'll see you again.
  • 00:15:18.197 --> 00:15:22.134
  • I'll see you again, i'm coming back.
  • 00:15:22.134 --> 00:15:27.006
  • Know this and maintain your joy."
  • 00:15:27.006 --> 00:15:31.977
  • Every time it looks crazy--and it's going crazy in the world,
  • 00:15:31.977 --> 00:15:34.580
  • These people are losing their mind.
  • 00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:38.217
  • So when all the chaos is going on in the world--remember new
  • 00:15:38.217 --> 00:15:41.186
  • Year's eve i said i don't know exactly what's gonna happen, but
  • 00:15:41.186 --> 00:15:43.589
  • It's just gonna be more chaos upon chaos upon chaos, and
  • 00:15:43.589 --> 00:15:47.292
  • That's all it's been, just chaos upon chaos upon chaos, just more
  • 00:15:47.292 --> 00:15:50.996
  • Of the same.
  • 00:15:50.996 --> 00:15:52.931
  • I ain't got time to do that, you will get depressed looking at
  • 00:15:52.931 --> 00:15:56.168
  • The news 'cause it's just more chaos upon chaos and propaganda
  • 00:15:56.168 --> 00:16:02.608
  • And more just--you don't even know if they're telling the
  • 00:16:02.608 --> 00:16:05.010
  • Truth no more, you used to kind--when walter cronkite was
  • 00:16:05.010 --> 00:16:09.581
  • On the news, and pbs news, you had a little, little trust.
  • 00:16:09.581 --> 00:16:16.221
  • But now, these jokers getting on the news, they're trying to be
  • 00:16:16.221 --> 00:16:18.624
  • Movie stars, i don't know if you're telling the truth or not.
  • 00:16:18.624 --> 00:16:21.727
  • I don't know who did what because people darned learned
  • 00:16:21.727 --> 00:16:24.263
  • How to use the news to manipulate society into doing
  • 00:16:24.263 --> 00:16:28.700
  • What they want you to do, and so i got to ask the holy ghost,
  • 00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:33.005
  • Because the holy ghost will show you things to come and he'll let
  • 00:16:33.005 --> 00:16:38.143
  • You know stuff.
  • 00:16:38.143 --> 00:16:39.578
  • You need to back up and let the holy ghost talk to you a
  • 00:16:39.578 --> 00:16:41.513
  • Little bit.
  • 00:16:41.513 --> 00:16:43.048
  • Oh holy ghost, what you think about this?
  • 00:16:43.048 --> 00:16:46.351
  • Somebody says, "well, i don't know how to hear from him,"
  • 00:16:46.351 --> 00:16:48.487
  • Houston, we have a problem.
  • 00:16:48.487 --> 00:16:51.657
  • And this is the reason why you just don't come to church and
  • 00:16:51.657 --> 00:16:54.693
  • Play church and do church and don't know how to do life.
  • 00:16:54.693 --> 00:16:57.262
  • This is a real thing, you gotta have a relationship with the
  • 00:16:57.262 --> 00:17:00.332
  • Holy ghost, a relationship with god, because you're gonna need
  • 00:17:00.332 --> 00:17:03.702
  • Him, he's the game-changer in your life.
  • 00:17:03.702 --> 00:17:06.038
  • And you can't be coming to church talking about, "i depend
  • 00:17:06.038 --> 00:17:08.774
  • On sister carol to tell me what the holy ghost said."
  • 00:17:08.774 --> 00:17:11.543
  • Sometimes god will tell sister carol
  • 00:17:11.543 --> 00:17:13.312
  • That ain't none of your business.
  • 00:17:13.312 --> 00:17:14.813
  • "even though you heard it, keep it to yourself, 'cause i got to
  • 00:17:14.813 --> 00:17:19.451
  • Grow them up."
  • 00:17:19.451 --> 00:17:20.786
  • And that's what life will do, life assists god in helping you
  • 00:17:20.786 --> 00:17:24.823
  • To grow up.
  • 00:17:24.823 --> 00:17:26.625
  • He told you to do this, but you didn't do it, you made it
  • 00:17:26.625 --> 00:17:29.528
  • Too deep.
  • 00:17:29.528 --> 00:17:30.863
  • He said, all right, let life get them, and then life come up and
  • 00:17:30.863 --> 00:17:33.765
  • Whoop that butt real good.
  • 00:17:33.765 --> 00:17:36.668
  • Life come up and you lose that house and you lose that and this
  • 00:17:36.668 --> 00:17:40.806
  • And that and all that stuff happens, and after a while, you
  • 00:17:40.806 --> 00:17:43.976
  • Gonna lift your heads up toward the hill from which cometh your
  • 00:17:43.976 --> 00:17:47.446
  • Help and you gonna pray this simple prayer, lord, help, and
  • 00:17:47.446 --> 00:17:52.017
  • Now god say, "i got you where i want you now."
  • 00:17:52.017 --> 00:17:56.388
  • The resurrection, number seven, gives us a new identity.
  • 00:17:56.388 --> 00:18:02.227
  • The one thing that satan wants to always come after you, is
  • 00:18:02.227 --> 00:18:04.830
  • He's trying to come after your identity.
  • 00:18:04.830 --> 00:18:06.965
  • He wants you to think you're a bad boy because you do bad.
  • 00:18:06.965 --> 00:18:11.303
  • Your behavior does not determine your identity, your identity
  • 00:18:11.303 --> 00:18:17.042
  • Determines your behavior, and jesus determines what your
  • 00:18:17.042 --> 00:18:21.647
  • Identity is.
  • 00:18:21.647 --> 00:18:23.015
  • See, 2 corinthians 5:17, this is awesome, man.
  • 00:18:23.015 --> 00:18:26.018
  • In verse 17, he talks about this new creation that you have been
  • 00:18:26.018 --> 00:18:29.888
  • Made, "therefore if any man be in christ, he's a new creature."
  • 00:18:29.888 --> 00:18:36.895
  • I'm in christ, i'm a new creature, and a brand new baby
  • 00:18:36.895 --> 00:18:42.534
  • Doesn't have a past.
  • 00:18:42.534 --> 00:18:45.871
  • I'm a new creature, i don't have a past, i'm new.
  • 00:18:45.871 --> 00:18:51.343
  • Quit letting the devil try to get you to go back to your past,
  • 00:18:51.343 --> 00:18:55.180
  • You're a new creature.
  • 00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:57.649
  • When you had a little baby, that baby ain't got no past sins.
  • 00:18:57.649 --> 00:19:01.620
  • They're gone, you're a new creature.
  • 00:19:01.620 --> 00:19:04.389
  • It's gone, you don't keep calling yourself a sinner.
  • 00:19:04.389 --> 00:19:09.027
  • Well, you know, brother dollar, we just all sinners.
  • 00:19:09.027 --> 00:19:11.463
  • Speak for yourself, i'm a saint, that's what the bible says, it
  • 00:19:11.463 --> 00:19:16.235
  • Says those of us who are born again, we're no longer sinners,
  • 00:19:16.235 --> 00:19:18.103
  • We're saints.
  • 00:19:18.103 --> 00:19:22.007
  • So understand your identity, "he is a new creation: old things
  • 00:19:22.007 --> 00:19:27.312
  • Are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
  • 00:19:27.312 --> 00:19:35.520
  • The resurrection of jesus enables us to be born again and
  • 00:19:35.520 --> 00:19:38.390
  • To have a new identity that's in christ.
  • 00:19:38.390 --> 00:19:42.327
  • We are no longer defined by our past sins and failures.
  • 00:19:42.327 --> 00:19:47.466
  • Number eight, the resurrection gives us a purpose.
  • 00:19:47.466 --> 00:19:53.205
  • Ephesians 2:10 in the nlt, the resurrection gives us a purpose.
  • 00:19:53.205 --> 00:20:00.012
  • Ephesians 2:10 says this, "for we are god's masterpiece."
  • 00:20:00.012 --> 00:20:03.982
  • Look at that, say it, say, i'm god's masterpiece, oh, glory
  • 00:20:03.982 --> 00:20:08.887
  • To god!
  • 00:20:08.887 --> 00:20:10.255
  • "he has created us anew in christ jesus, so we can do the
  • 00:20:10.255 --> 00:20:17.362
  • Good things he planned for us long ago."
  • 00:20:17.362 --> 00:20:23.268
  • So the resurrection enabled us, the resurrection of jesus
  • 00:20:23.268 --> 00:20:27.306
  • Enables us to live a life that is pleasing to god and to
  • 00:20:27.306 --> 00:20:31.143
  • Fulfill the purpose that he has for us.
  • 00:20:31.143 --> 00:20:35.213
  • God has a purpose for everybody in here.
  • 00:20:35.213 --> 00:20:39.751
  • And that's why you can't get caught up with what everybody
  • 00:20:39.751 --> 00:20:42.387
  • Else is doing, you'll lose your purpose, you continue to trade
  • 00:20:42.387 --> 00:20:47.392
  • In the valuable, authentic you for a cheap copy.
  • 00:20:47.392 --> 00:20:54.366
  • Number nine, the resurrection gives us unity.
  • 00:20:54.366 --> 00:20:59.738
  • Ephesians chapter 4 verses 4 through 6, the resurrection
  • 00:20:59.738 --> 00:21:03.041
  • Gives us unity.
  • 00:21:03.041 --> 00:21:04.409
  • The resurrection of jesus unites us as believers and enables us
  • 00:21:04.409 --> 00:21:10.415
  • To work together to fulfill the mission that god has given us.
  • 00:21:10.415 --> 00:21:14.319
  • Look at what he said here, ephesians 4:4 through 6, he
  • 00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:17.723
  • Says, "for there is one body and one spirit."
  • 00:21:17.723 --> 00:21:23.328
  • There's this individual christian, but all of us
  • 00:21:23.328 --> 00:21:27.733
  • Together working corporately as one, and then there's one body,
  • 00:21:27.733 --> 00:21:34.239
  • One spirit.
  • 00:21:34.239 --> 00:21:35.741
  • So what's the enemy to that unity?
  • 00:21:35.741 --> 00:21:38.410
  • The spirit of division and all of the isms that divide, we just
  • 00:21:38.410 --> 00:21:45.584
  • Can't figure out how to get along.
  • 00:21:45.584 --> 00:21:49.488
  • Yeah, one time i thought it was whites versus blacks, until i
  • 00:21:49.488 --> 00:21:52.924
  • Went to africa and it was tribes versus tribes and they're the
  • 00:21:52.924 --> 00:21:57.095
  • Same color, just always a spirit of division.
  • 00:21:57.095 --> 00:22:02.601
  • And you know where a spirit of division derives from?
  • 00:22:02.601 --> 00:22:05.337
  • When we magnify the difference.
  • 00:22:05.337 --> 00:22:09.674
  • I don't care what you do.
  • 00:22:09.674 --> 00:22:11.009
  • When you magnify the difference between management and labor,
  • 00:22:11.009 --> 00:22:14.813
  • Division is gonna come.
  • 00:22:14.813 --> 00:22:17.249
  • When you magnify the difference between rich or poor, division
  • 00:22:17.249 --> 00:22:19.985
  • Is gonna come.
  • 00:22:19.985 --> 00:22:21.520
  • Magnifying the difference is what creates division, and
  • 00:22:21.520 --> 00:22:26.558
  • That's what jesus showed up to deal with, "for there is one
  • 00:22:26.558 --> 00:22:31.363
  • Body and one spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious
  • 00:22:31.363 --> 00:22:37.636
  • Hope for the future."
  • 00:22:37.636 --> 00:22:40.172
  • Verse 5, verse-- "there is one lord, there's one faith, there's
  • 00:22:40.172 --> 00:22:44.276
  • One baptism, there's one god and father of all, who is over all,
  • 00:22:44.276 --> 00:22:49.548
  • In all, living through all."
  • 00:22:49.548 --> 00:22:52.117
  • How we get all these denominations if that's true?
  • 00:22:52.117 --> 00:22:54.719
  • 'cause we just can't figure out how to deal with our ego, just
  • 00:22:58.924 --> 00:23:08.166
  • Trying to be important.
  • 00:23:08.166 --> 00:23:09.935
  • The resurrection assures us our salvation, romans 4:25, the nlt,
  • 00:23:13.505 --> 00:23:19.177
  • The resurrection assures us our salvation.
  • 00:23:19.177 --> 00:23:21.713
  • Jesus's resurrection is proof that god accepted his sacrifice
  • 00:23:21.713 --> 00:23:25.250
  • On our sins.
  • 00:23:25.250 --> 00:23:27.185
  • Through faith in jesus, we are justified, we are made right
  • 00:23:27.185 --> 00:23:30.589
  • With god.
  • 00:23:30.589 --> 00:23:31.923
  • Verse 25, "he was handed over to die because of our sins, and he
  • 00:23:31.923 --> 00:23:35.794
  • Was raised to life to make us right with god."
  • 00:23:35.794 --> 00:23:38.497
  • And then finally, the resurrection gives us a future,
  • 00:23:38.497 --> 00:23:43.802
  • Look at revelation 21 and 4. revelation 21 and 4, "he will
  • 00:23:43.802 --> 00:23:51.076
  • Wipe every tear from their eyes,
  • 00:23:51.076 --> 00:23:57.682
  • And there will be no more death,
  • 00:23:57.682 --> 00:24:01.753
  • No more sorrow, no more crying, no more pain.
  • 00:24:01.753 --> 00:24:10.562
  • All these things are gone forever."
  • 00:24:10.562 --> 00:24:16.234
  • Our future is based on the promise of eternal life with god
  • 00:24:16.234 --> 00:24:19.304
  • In heaven.
  • 00:24:19.304 --> 00:24:22.040
  • Announcer: what unifies the body of christ?
  • 00:24:25.944 --> 00:24:28.246

  • Creflo: jesus's death removed
  • 00:24:39.457 --> 00:24:41.493
  • Our sin and our guilt.
  • 00:24:41.493 --> 00:24:44.896
  • Jesus became a compensation to remove the wrath between god and
  • 00:24:44.896 --> 00:24:49.834
  • Man and turned it into favor.
  • 00:24:49.834 --> 00:24:52.504
  • Jesus paid the price, and so now god says, "no restrictions on my
  • 00:24:52.504 --> 00:24:59.010
  • Love, no more enemy between me and man, i will do him good and
  • 00:24:59.010 --> 00:25:04.516
