  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.346
  • Male announcer: this program is brought to you in part by the
  • 00:00:01.448 --> 00:00:03.483

  • Coming up next on "changing your world."
  • 00:00:08.088 --> 00:00:11.324
  • Creflo dollar: you keep trying to live by just the written word
  • 00:00:11.391 --> 00:00:15.728
  • Of god and the written word of god is just trying to invite you
  • 00:00:15.728 --> 00:00:20.200
  • In to a position that you can hear a word from god about you
  • 00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:25.972
  • 'cause if you just stop at the written word of god and
  • 00:00:25.972 --> 00:00:28.308
  • Intellectualize the written word of god, you're never gonna to
  • 00:00:28.308 --> 00:00:32.178
  • Discover the rhema or the spoken word that he wants to talk to
  • 00:00:32.178 --> 00:00:36.349
  • You about.
  • 00:00:36.349 --> 00:00:37.717
  • So, now you gonna keep doing what everybody else is doing
  • 00:00:37.717 --> 00:00:39.752
  • Because you hadn't got a word from god.
  • 00:00:39.752 --> 00:00:42.188
  • One word from god will change your life, one word from god
  • 00:00:42.188 --> 00:00:45.925
  • Will change your finances, one word from god
  • 00:00:45.925 --> 00:00:48.495
  • Will heal your body.
  • 00:00:48.495 --> 00:00:51.364
  • Male: it's so great to have dr. dollar here.
  • 00:00:55.335 --> 00:00:57.737
  • The spirit and grace tour and the grace gang in town.
  • 00:00:57.737 --> 00:01:00.507
  • Female: just about everybody that gave their testimony
  • 00:01:00.507 --> 00:01:03.443
  • And asking questions and getting answers,
  • 00:01:03.443 --> 00:01:06.112
  • I was getting some of the answers i needed.
  • 00:01:06.112 --> 00:01:08.481
  • Female: it was like an atmosphere of freedom.
  • 00:01:08.481 --> 00:01:10.416
  • I would encourage people to come.
  • 00:01:10.416 --> 00:01:12.919

  • Creflo: now, let's look at, let's look at how grace
  • 00:02:01.568 --> 00:02:06.573
  • Restores innocence real quick.
  • 00:02:06.573 --> 00:02:08.942
  • Just compare the two while we're there.
  • 00:02:08.942 --> 00:02:12.078
  • Grace, on the other hand, completely redefines a
  • 00:02:12.078 --> 00:02:15.048
  • Believer's identity.
  • 00:02:15.048 --> 00:02:16.382
  • That's what it does.
  • 00:02:16.382 --> 00:02:17.717
  • It completely defines a believer's identity.
  • 00:02:17.717 --> 00:02:19.719
  • It doesn't just erase sin, but also restores a person to their
  • 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.924
  • Original innocence before god.
  • 00:02:24.924 --> 00:02:28.995
  • Wow, that's powerful.
  • 00:02:28.995 --> 00:02:30.330
  • It restores us to our original innocence before god.
  • 00:02:30.330 --> 00:02:34.968
  • So, through christ's sacrifice, believers are now seen as
  • 00:02:34.968 --> 00:02:40.273
  • Righteous, blameless, and holy.
  • 00:02:40.273 --> 00:02:46.946
  • And those are the things christian people struggle with.
  • 00:02:46.946 --> 00:02:51.017
  • Your identity, you're seen as righteous, you are seen as
  • 00:02:51.017 --> 00:02:56.522
  • Blameless, you are seen as holy.
  • 00:02:56.522 --> 00:03:02.128
  • Isn't it something that those are the very things that they
  • 00:03:02.128 --> 00:03:04.530
  • Struggle with?
  • 00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:05.898
  • You go to a christian person and tell them, "you're holy."
  • 00:03:05.898 --> 00:03:08.368
  • They even have problems receiving that, "oh, no, no,"
  • 00:03:08.368 --> 00:03:11.170
  • Because the sin consciousness is saying, "uh," but jesus came and
  • 00:03:11.170 --> 00:03:15.041
  • He says, "you're innocent.
  • 00:03:15.041 --> 00:03:16.409
  • And now i have been made righteous for you, i have been
  • 00:03:16.409 --> 00:03:19.612
  • Made redemption for you, i have been made holy for you, i have
  • 00:03:19.612 --> 00:03:24.617
  • Been made sanctified for you.
  • 00:03:24.617 --> 00:03:26.953
  • If you say you received me, then you've received everything i
  • 00:03:26.953 --> 00:03:30.423
  • Have been made.
  • 00:03:30.423 --> 00:03:31.824
  • And so, i need you to accept, realize all of that, and you
  • 00:03:31.824 --> 00:03:37.096
  • Need to take on what you struggle to take on, holy,
  • 00:03:37.096 --> 00:03:43.202
  • Blameless, righteous."
  • 00:03:43.202 --> 00:03:46.773
  • That's what the grace of god has designed to do.
  • 00:03:46.773 --> 00:03:48.441
  • And that's why the devil fights us so much.
  • 00:03:48.441 --> 00:03:50.310
  • He can't afford for you to take on what grace has done for you
  • 00:03:50.310 --> 00:03:53.546
  • Because he ain't got no hold on you no more.
  • 00:03:53.546 --> 00:03:56.249
  • What is he gonna do if you're walking around talking about,
  • 00:03:56.249 --> 00:03:58.084
  • "i'm holy, i'm righteous, i'm redeemed."
  • 00:03:58.084 --> 00:04:03.256
  • And then some old smart seminarian will come up, "well,
  • 00:04:03.256 --> 00:04:05.558
  • You know you got to do more than just say it."
  • 00:04:05.558 --> 00:04:12.332
  • Listen, that's where it starts.
  • 00:04:12.332 --> 00:04:13.700
  • Everything has a starting point.
  • 00:04:13.700 --> 00:04:15.635
  • You start--and i'll show you this in a moment--but you start
  • 00:04:15.635 --> 00:04:17.937
  • Off saying it.
  • 00:04:17.937 --> 00:04:19.305
  • And then as you say it, you hear yourself saying it.
  • 00:04:19.305 --> 00:04:21.107
  • And as you hear yourself saying it, you start thinking it, and
  • 00:04:21.107 --> 00:04:24.377
  • God knows how you're designed.
  • 00:04:24.377 --> 00:04:26.045
  • God knows almost everything in your life starts with
  • 00:04:26.045 --> 00:04:29.048
  • Your mouth.
  • 00:04:29.048 --> 00:04:31.484
  • It's the rudder.
  • 00:04:31.484 --> 00:04:34.187
  • It starts with your mouth.
  • 00:04:34.187 --> 00:04:36.289
  • And so, we've got to start announcing to ourselves what
  • 00:04:36.289 --> 00:04:40.493
  • Grace says about our identity.
  • 00:04:40.493 --> 00:04:43.496
  • And so, what happens is the sacrifice that jesus made so
  • 00:04:43.496 --> 00:04:49.869
  • That we can see ourselves as righteous, blameless, and holy.
  • 00:04:49.869 --> 00:04:52.672
  • Now, this isn't because of our performance.
  • 00:04:52.672 --> 00:04:56.209
  • It's not because of our performance that i'm holy, it's
  • 00:04:56.209 --> 00:04:58.478
  • Not because of my performance that i'm righteous, it is
  • 00:04:58.478 --> 00:05:01.114
  • Because of what christ has done for me, all right?
  • 00:05:01.114 --> 00:05:05.918
  • Ephesians chapter 1, verse 4 in the nlt.
  • 00:05:05.918 --> 00:05:08.588
  • It is because of what christ has done for me.
  • 00:05:08.588 --> 00:05:11.891
  • I am holy and i am righteous, and i am blameless because of
  • 00:05:11.891 --> 00:05:16.763
  • What christ has done for me.
  • 00:05:16.763 --> 00:05:19.766
  • You're gonna find out that the devil's been playing chess in
  • 00:05:19.766 --> 00:05:23.336
  • Your mind.
  • 00:05:23.336 --> 00:05:26.205
  • And you got--we're gonna stop it.
  • 00:05:26.205 --> 00:05:28.908
  • That's why i'm teaching this, we're gonna stop it.
  • 00:05:28.908 --> 00:05:31.711
  • The nlt says, "even before he made the world," this is--this
  • 00:05:31.711 --> 00:05:35.848
  • Almost broke me down.
  • 00:05:35.848 --> 00:05:38.017
  • "even before he made the world, god loved us and chose us in
  • 00:05:38.017 --> 00:05:41.821
  • Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes."
  • 00:05:41.821 --> 00:05:45.725
  • Before the foundations of the world, before adam and eve, he
  • 00:05:45.725 --> 00:05:51.297
  • Already made up in his mind, "i choose you to be holy, and i
  • 00:05:51.297 --> 00:05:56.202
  • Choose you to be without fault in my eyes."
  • 00:05:56.202 --> 00:06:00.406
  • So, in god's eyes, he sees you holy and without fault, but in
  • 00:06:00.406 --> 00:06:04.177
  • Your eyes, you see you unholy and with a lot of faults.
  • 00:06:04.177 --> 00:06:09.081
  • Nothing's gonna change until you change how you see yourself.
  • 00:06:09.081 --> 00:06:13.019
  • God sees you as holy, god sees you as someone without fault,
  • 00:06:13.019 --> 00:06:18.591
  • But you can't see that.
  • 00:06:18.591 --> 00:06:21.861
  • I want you to see very plainly the tricks of the devil.
  • 00:06:21.861 --> 00:06:25.898
  • I understand the position that taffi and i are put in by
  • 00:06:25.898 --> 00:06:31.404
  • Sharing these truths with you, but it's the truth.
  • 00:06:31.404 --> 00:06:34.807
  • And i'll tell you how you can test it.
  • 00:06:34.807 --> 00:06:36.375
  • On the inside of you, it's screaming, "yes.
  • 00:06:36.375 --> 00:06:41.447
  • Yes, i know that true," but in your head, with all the religion
  • 00:06:41.447 --> 00:06:46.486
  • You done had, it's like, "yeah, but.
  • 00:06:46.486 --> 00:06:48.621
  • Yeah, but."
  • 00:06:48.621 --> 00:06:50.456
  • I did the same thing when i heard this stuff and
  • 00:06:50.456 --> 00:06:53.392
  • Emphatically disagreed with it.
  • 00:06:53.392 --> 00:06:55.428
  • I said, "oh no, that can't be," but i couldn't dismiss this
  • 00:06:55.428 --> 00:06:59.565
  • Voice on the inside that says, "son, this is me."
  • 00:06:59.565 --> 00:07:05.805
  • And i said one day, "this is who i always thought you were."
  • 00:07:05.805 --> 00:07:13.946
  • Now look at this in the mirror, ephesians 1:4.
  • 00:07:13.946 --> 00:07:18.951
  • I told the lord to help me to be a little bit more calm.
  • 00:07:18.951 --> 00:07:21.053
  • I get so excited. i screamed the whole sermon.
  • 00:07:21.053 --> 00:07:23.856
  • Somebody wrote me and said, "are you mad?"
  • 00:07:23.856 --> 00:07:25.658
  • I said, "no, i'm not mad, i'm excited."
  • 00:07:25.658 --> 00:07:27.593
  • They said, "well, it sounds like you're mad."
  • 00:07:27.593 --> 00:07:29.729
  • I said, "well, i don't want to sound like i'm mad," so i just i
  • 00:07:29.729 --> 00:07:32.932
  • Have to get a new exciting thing, you know, so i won't
  • 00:07:32.932 --> 00:07:35.468
  • Sound like i'm mad.
  • 00:07:35.468 --> 00:07:37.837
  • All right, watch this, "he associated us in christ before
  • 00:07:37.837 --> 00:07:44.610
  • The fall of the world."
  • 00:07:44.610 --> 00:07:48.581
  • Phew.
  • 00:07:48.581 --> 00:07:50.917
  • That's heavy.
  • 00:07:50.917 --> 00:07:52.285
  • So, god called the end at the beginning.
  • 00:07:52.285 --> 00:07:57.056
  • Phew.
  • 00:07:57.056 --> 00:07:58.624
  • "jesus is god's mind," check this out, "jesus is god's mind
  • 00:07:58.624 --> 00:08:03.362
  • Made up about us."
  • 00:08:03.362 --> 00:08:06.265
  • Ooh, you didn't get that.
  • 00:08:06.265 --> 00:08:07.633
  • You didn't get that. you didn't get that.
  • 00:08:07.633 --> 00:08:12.071
  • Jesus is god's mind that he made up about us.
  • 00:08:12.071 --> 00:08:18.978
  • So, he's made his mind up concerning us.
  • 00:08:18.978 --> 00:08:21.480
  • [chuckling]
  • 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:22.815
  • He made his mind up concerning us with jesus.
  • 00:08:22.815 --> 00:08:26.252
  • He looks at jesus and he says, "my mind's made up.
  • 00:08:26.252 --> 00:08:30.356
  • My mind's made up.
  • 00:08:30.356 --> 00:08:31.958
  • Mankind, every time i look at jesus, they are right.
  • 00:08:31.958 --> 00:08:35.294
  • As long as they're in jesus, this is god saying, 'my mind is
  • 00:08:35.294 --> 00:08:38.130
  • Made up where you're concerned.
  • 00:08:38.130 --> 00:08:39.465
  • You're in jesus, you're righteous, you're holy, you're
  • 00:08:39.465 --> 00:08:42.168
  • Everything he is, and i already made my mind up about you.
  • 00:08:42.168 --> 00:08:45.404
  • You are his reflection.
  • 00:08:45.404 --> 00:08:47.006
  • You live by the faith of the son of god.'"
  • 00:08:47.006 --> 00:08:49.108
  • See, there it goes again. it seem like i'm arguing.
  • 00:08:49.108 --> 00:08:50.576
  • I'm excited, i'm not mad, i'm excited.
  • 00:08:50.576 --> 00:08:52.378
  • I'm like, "whoa, who does this? look at what he did."
  • 00:08:52.378 --> 00:08:55.715
  • Jesus is what god did.
  • 00:08:55.715 --> 00:08:58.084
  • Jesus is god's mind made up about you.
  • 00:08:58.084 --> 00:09:03.022
  • So, whatever you think about you, jesus is what god thinks
  • 00:09:03.022 --> 00:09:06.626
  • About you.
  • 00:09:06.626 --> 00:09:07.960
  • Whoo!
  • 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:09.729
  • Jesus is what god thinks about you.
  • 00:09:09.729 --> 00:09:13.299
  • Whoo!
  • 00:09:13.299 --> 00:09:14.967
  • Jesus is what god thinks about you.
  • 00:09:14.967 --> 00:09:17.937
  • "well, lord, what you think about me?"
  • 00:09:17.937 --> 00:09:19.639
  • "jesus is what i think about you."
  • 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:24.610
  • Ooh lord, have mercy.
  • 00:09:24.610 --> 00:09:31.150
  • I ain't never gonna go back--i ain't never going back preaching
  • 00:09:31.150 --> 00:09:34.387
  • What i preach.
  • 00:09:34.387 --> 00:09:37.423
  • If they said--if they developed a law in congress and said,
  • 00:09:37.423 --> 00:09:41.060
  • "pastor dollar, you can't preach grace no more."
  • 00:09:41.060 --> 00:09:44.096
  • I say, "lord, i give up my ghost, i give up my spirit.
  • 00:09:44.096 --> 00:09:47.667
  • Ain't no use in me being here."
  • 00:09:47.667 --> 00:09:49.168
  • I ain't never going back and preaching that,
  • 00:09:49.168 --> 00:09:52.972
  • I'm not doing it.
  • 00:09:52.972 --> 00:09:55.608
  • To preach the gospel of grace means that you're gonna be
  • 00:09:55.608 --> 00:09:58.477
  • Ridiculed, it means you're gonna be persecuted, it means you're
  • 00:09:58.477 --> 00:10:01.747
  • Gonna be called everything except a child of god.
  • 00:10:01.747 --> 00:10:06.352
  • And most people don't want to preach it because of the fear
  • 00:10:06.352 --> 00:10:09.588
  • And the giving up of their control over people.
  • 00:10:09.588 --> 00:10:17.830
  • You control people with fear.
  • 00:10:17.830 --> 00:10:22.201
  • [congregation applauding]
  • 00:10:25.805 --> 00:10:29.208
  • Think about it.
  • 00:10:29.208 --> 00:10:30.776
  • If every time you do something, i say, "you're going to hell,"
  • 00:10:30.776 --> 00:10:34.280
  • Give you enough fear, just like a guy who sells drugs, gives
  • 00:10:34.280 --> 00:10:38.851
  • That drug addict just enough drugs to keep him coming back.
  • 00:10:38.851 --> 00:10:43.456
  • I don't want you coming here out of fear.
  • 00:10:43.456 --> 00:10:46.225
  • I want you to filling this church up because you're like,
  • 00:10:46.225 --> 00:10:47.927
  • "ooh, i can't wait to see what's next."
  • 00:10:47.927 --> 00:10:51.697
  • Why am i going to church?
  • 00:10:51.697 --> 00:10:53.032
  • So i can discover more freedoms that i have in christ jesus.
  • 00:10:53.032 --> 00:10:55.634
  • I'm coming to church so i can see what else jesus has done.
  • 00:10:55.634 --> 00:10:59.371
  • And that means you're gonna be coming for a long time because
  • 00:10:59.371 --> 00:11:01.707
  • They asked the question, "how high is this?
  • 00:11:01.707 --> 00:11:04.243
  • How deep is this?
  • 00:11:04.243 --> 00:11:05.611
  • How wide is this?"
  • 00:11:05.611 --> 00:11:07.379
  • And i don't know how high or how deep or how wide it is, but i'm
  • 00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:11.183
  • Staying in here, praise god.
  • 00:11:11.183 --> 00:11:13.152
  • And the next thing you know, you're gonna be getting so
  • 00:11:13.152 --> 00:11:15.221
  • Involved in this thing, you're gonna be right there and you go,
  • 00:11:15.221 --> 00:11:17.690
  • "that's jesus right there."
  • 00:11:17.690 --> 00:11:19.458
  • Somebody say, "how do you know?"
  • 00:11:19.458 --> 00:11:20.826
  • 'cause i know him.
  • 00:11:20.826 --> 00:11:22.561
  • I'm his reflection.
  • 00:11:22.561 --> 00:11:25.064
  • He is what god thinks about me.
  • 00:11:25.064 --> 00:11:27.066
  • Glory to god.
  • 00:11:27.066 --> 00:11:34.840
  • Oh wow, jesus is what god thinks about you.
  • 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:39.278
  • Ooh.
  • 00:11:39.278 --> 00:11:40.813
  • "he always knew in his love that he would," come on, guys,
  • 00:11:43.149 --> 00:11:49.622
  • "that he would present us again face-to-face before him in
  • 00:11:49.622 --> 00:11:57.530
  • Blameless innocence."
  • 00:11:57.530 --> 00:11:59.665
  • He always knew, even with the fallen man, he always knew that
  • 00:11:59.665 --> 00:12:03.636
  • He would present us face-to-face blameless in our innocence.
  • 00:12:03.636 --> 00:12:10.743
  • Satan says, "the only thing i can do is to try to keep you
  • 00:12:14.346 --> 00:12:17.917
  • Trapped in your mind with the law.
  • 00:12:17.917 --> 00:12:23.055
  • And if i get enough preachers to be afraid to say something
  • 00:12:23.055 --> 00:12:26.559
  • Different," 'cause for years, preachers don't want to say what
  • 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:32.031
  • Other preachers are not saying 'cause of fear of ridicule.
  • 00:12:32.031 --> 00:12:37.837
  • And certainly to be a christian has got to be more than
  • 00:12:37.837 --> 00:12:41.507
  • Intellectualizing the bible.
  • 00:12:41.507 --> 00:12:46.445
  • It's amazing you can take the bible and turn it into a text
  • 00:12:46.445 --> 00:12:49.949
  • And go to school and get a degree for it, but you're
  • 00:12:49.949 --> 00:12:53.853
  • Lacking so much because behind the text is the real voice.
  • 00:12:53.853 --> 00:13:01.727
  • And if you don't ever get to the [speaking in tongues].
  • 00:13:01.727 --> 00:13:04.797
  • What is that lord?
  • 00:13:04.797 --> 00:13:06.198
  • Excuse me.
  • 00:13:06.198 --> 00:13:09.134
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:13:09.134 --> 00:13:15.107
  • What was that?
  • 00:13:15.107 --> 00:13:20.880
  • Ah, breakthrough.
  • 00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:27.253
  • Yeah, i've said that before.
  • 00:13:27.253 --> 00:13:29.588
  • You did, breakthrough.
  • 00:13:29.588 --> 00:13:32.591
  • Oh man, are y'all on the bus?
  • 00:13:32.591 --> 00:13:35.427
  • I'm getting ready to say something.
  • 00:13:35.427 --> 00:13:36.762
  • Breakthrough doesn't come from the written word of god only.
  • 00:13:36.762 --> 00:13:43.869
  • The written word of god will take you in the bedroom where
  • 00:13:43.869 --> 00:13:47.006
  • Intimacies are shared.
  • 00:13:47.006 --> 00:13:50.376
  • Breakthrough doesn't come from the word of god, it comes from a
  • 00:13:50.376 --> 00:13:56.148
  • Word from god.
  • 00:13:56.148 --> 00:14:00.619
  • Did i say that right?
  • 00:14:00.619 --> 00:14:02.288
  • Breakthrough doesn't come from a word of god, it comes from a
  • 00:14:02.288 --> 00:14:07.559
  • Word from god.
  • 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.596
  • Before the disciples had a written word of god, they got
  • 00:14:10.596 --> 00:14:16.435
  • What is written from god.
  • 00:14:16.435 --> 00:14:21.540
  • If you read about anybody that got any results in the bible, it
  • 00:14:21.540 --> 00:14:28.247
  • Came when they got a word from god.
  • 00:14:28.247 --> 00:14:34.553
  • The written word of god takes you into that place, takes you
  • 00:14:34.553 --> 00:14:38.557
  • Into that presence.
  • 00:14:38.557 --> 00:14:40.960
  • And if you stay there long enough, you'll hear from him
  • 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.896
  • Concerning you.
  • 00:14:43.896 --> 00:14:46.532
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:14:46.532 --> 00:14:47.866
  • You keep trying to live by just the written word of god.
  • 00:14:47.866 --> 00:14:53.138
  • And the written word of god is just trying to invite you into a
  • 00:14:53.138 --> 00:14:57.209
  • Position that you can hear a word from god about you 'cause
  • 00:14:57.209 --> 00:15:02.448
  • If you just stop at the written word of god and intellectualize
  • 00:15:02.448 --> 00:15:05.751
  • The written word of god, you're never gonna to discover the
  • 00:15:05.751 --> 00:15:09.288
  • Rhema or the spoken word that he wants to talk to you about.
  • 00:15:09.288 --> 00:15:13.559
  • So now you gonna keep doing what everybody else is doing
  • 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.128
  • Because you hadn't got a word from god.
  • 00:15:16.128 --> 00:15:18.564
  • One word from god will change your life, one word from god
  • 00:15:18.564 --> 00:15:22.267
  • Will change your finances, one word from god will heal
  • 00:15:22.267 --> 00:15:25.170
  • Your body.
  • 00:15:25.170 --> 00:15:26.872
  • [congregation applauding]
  • 00:15:26.872 --> 00:15:33.412
  • I'm trying to calm down.
  • 00:15:36.682 --> 00:15:40.419
  • I'm trying to, but i couldn't read nothing in the bible where
  • 00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:46.358
  • It says, "start world changers."
  • 00:15:46.358 --> 00:15:50.863
  • It wasn't written nowhere where it says, "start world changers,
  • 00:15:50.863 --> 00:15:55.401
  • And start it in a school."
  • 00:15:55.401 --> 00:15:58.937
  • But it was something in the bible that said, "pray.
  • 00:15:58.937 --> 00:16:05.411
  • And if you pray, i'm going to start talking to you about what
  • 00:16:05.411 --> 00:16:08.547
  • You're supposed to do."
  • 00:16:08.547 --> 00:16:11.283
  • And i get in there and look at what it says, "men are always to
  • 00:16:11.283 --> 00:16:15.754
  • Pray and not give up, cave in, and quit."
  • 00:16:15.754 --> 00:16:18.590
  • That was just enough to position me, mmm.
  • 00:16:18.590 --> 00:16:22.861
  • And one night when i was praying, glory to god, the will
  • 00:16:22.861 --> 00:16:26.899
  • Of god showed up for me, a rhema from god, a word from god.
  • 00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:31.703
  • So, it's not just the written word that makes you free, it is
  • 00:16:31.703 --> 00:16:35.541
  • A spoken specific designed word for your life, and you're still
  • 00:16:35.541 --> 00:16:41.413
  • Struggling, trying to find out what you're supposed to do, but
  • 00:16:41.413 --> 00:16:44.116
  • You're ignoring the written word, which is the escort into
  • 00:16:44.116 --> 00:16:47.486
  • The bedroom where intimacy can take place.
  • 00:16:47.486 --> 00:16:50.789
  • [congregation applauding]
  • 00:16:50.789 --> 00:16:56.361
  • Almost fell out right there.
  • 00:16:59.998 --> 00:17:02.367
  • I had to fall out and throw my nose to mike and let him finish.
  • 00:17:02.367 --> 00:17:08.607
  • Right?
  • 00:17:08.607 --> 00:17:12.377
  • Do y'all sense the presence of revelation knowledge in this
  • 00:17:12.377 --> 00:17:16.949
  • Place this morning?
  • 00:17:16.949 --> 00:17:23.589
  • And the people that fuss with me over the teaching of grace are
  • 00:17:23.589 --> 00:17:26.892
  • Those who've intellectualized with the written text.
  • 00:17:26.892 --> 00:17:36.168
  • Because sometimes the written text don't give you the context
  • 00:17:36.168 --> 00:17:38.837
  • Or the pretext and you need the holy ghost to talk to you about
  • 00:17:38.837 --> 00:17:43.342
  • The text for your life.
  • 00:17:43.342 --> 00:17:51.783
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:17:51.783 --> 00:17:54.153
  • This verse highlights that god's intent all along was for us to
  • 00:17:54.153 --> 00:17:59.358
  • Be without blame, restored to innocence and love through
  • 00:17:59.358 --> 00:18:04.062
  • Jesus christ.
  • 00:18:04.062 --> 00:18:07.166
  • Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
  • 00:18:07.166 --> 00:18:13.238
  • Yeah, yeah, yeah.
  • 00:18:13.238 --> 00:18:17.876
  • So--[speaking in tongues]
  • 00:18:17.876 --> 00:18:25.384
  • The key--i was finishing a book yesterday.
  • 00:18:29.254 --> 00:18:36.328
  • And in the chapter before the last chapter, i was--the whole
  • 00:18:36.328 --> 00:18:45.003
  • Book is designed to be practical grace living,
  • 00:18:45.003 --> 00:18:48.473
  • How the life of grace can transform your life.
  • 00:18:48.473 --> 00:18:52.177
  • And i had this thought, and i tried to get it where i could
  • 00:18:52.177 --> 00:18:57.683
  • Understand how to write it.
  • 00:18:57.683 --> 00:19:01.787
  • And it's the struggle with how to manifest and walk in what
  • 00:19:01.787 --> 00:19:09.561
  • Jesus has already made available.
  • 00:19:09.561 --> 00:19:13.198
  • He says you're healed, but then you're you're still sick.
  • 00:19:13.198 --> 00:19:16.768
  • But you believe what he says.
  • 00:19:16.768 --> 00:19:18.170
  • He says you're prosperous, but you hadn't seen that.
  • 00:19:18.170 --> 00:19:21.840
  • He says you're delivered, you hadn't seen that.
  • 00:19:21.840 --> 00:19:23.942
  • He says you're safe, you hadn't seen that.
  • 00:19:23.942 --> 00:19:26.878
  • I'm like, "well, what's up?"
  • 00:19:26.878 --> 00:19:29.581
  • And i heard this word which calls me to stop.
  • 00:19:29.581 --> 00:19:33.752
  • He says, "it's an issue of alignment."
  • 00:19:33.752 --> 00:19:42.961
  • I said, "and i was thinking about the issues i was having
  • 00:19:42.961 --> 00:19:45.631
  • When we work out and that the music won't come on."
  • 00:19:45.631 --> 00:19:49.534
  • So, i started thinking about the satellite.
  • 00:19:49.534 --> 00:19:52.738
  • I said, "the satellite is sending the signal.
  • 00:19:52.738 --> 00:19:58.977
  • Like god has already sent everything.
  • 00:19:58.977 --> 00:20:03.615
  • The problem is not with god who has already sent everything, the
  • 00:20:03.615 --> 00:20:09.821
  • Problem is the receiver has got to align."
  • 00:20:09.821 --> 00:20:14.793
  • Y'all don't hear what i'm saying.
  • 00:20:14.793 --> 00:20:18.597
  • How many of you remember the days of the big antenna on the
  • 00:20:18.597 --> 00:20:21.667
  • Roof of the house?
  • 00:20:21.667 --> 00:20:25.537
  • I mean, remember the days when the antenna got pushed off the
  • 00:20:25.537 --> 00:20:27.906
  • House and you had to go to the coat hanger.
  • 00:20:27.906 --> 00:20:32.978
  • Aluminum foil on the coat hanger.
  • 00:20:32.978 --> 00:20:36.448
  • You remember what i had to do?
  • 00:20:36.448 --> 00:20:37.816
  • When that channel wasn't coming in, you got up there and
  • 00:20:37.816 --> 00:20:40.585
  • Started...
  • 00:20:40.585 --> 00:20:47.893
  • "stop right there.
  • 00:20:47.893 --> 00:20:50.796
  • There it go," and then you ease back.
  • 00:20:50.796 --> 00:20:53.665
  • "go back up there, there you go.
  • 00:20:53.665 --> 00:20:55.267
  • Why don't you just stay there for an hour."
  • 00:20:55.267 --> 00:21:00.872
  • The issue was the alignment.
  • 00:21:00.872 --> 00:21:06.211
  • Are y'all listening to me?
  • 00:21:06.211 --> 00:21:08.880
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:10.215
  • Healing is already been finished.
  • 00:21:10.215 --> 00:21:15.120
  • It's just if healing is there and you over here with your
  • 00:21:15.120 --> 00:21:20.025
  • Mouth, and you over here with what you're hearing, and you way
  • 00:21:20.025 --> 00:21:26.998
  • Over here with your thinking,
  • 00:21:26.998 --> 00:21:31.803
  • Now you're blaming god for not giving when the issue is not god
  • 00:21:31.803 --> 00:21:37.309
  • Giving, the issue is you aligning with what has already
  • 00:21:37.309 --> 00:21:42.881
  • Been given.
  • 00:21:42.881 --> 00:21:44.216
  • And as soon as you get yourself in alignment with what he said.
  • 00:21:44.216 --> 00:21:48.153
  • He said you're healed, you say, "i'm healed."
  • 00:21:48.153 --> 00:21:51.089
