  • It was hard to lift your hands up, but god fought for you.
  • 00:00:22.625 --> 00:00:26.029
  • It was hard for you to step on this campus, but god fought
  • 00:00:26.029 --> 00:00:28.832
  • For you.
  • 00:00:28.832 --> 00:00:30.200
  • It was hard for you to stand up and pray in the holy ghost, but
  • 00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:32.535
  • God fought for you.
  • 00:00:32.535 --> 00:00:34.204
  • And even in the middle of you praising, the devil kept trying
  • 00:00:34.204 --> 00:00:36.940
  • To remind you of what you did, but then you open your mouth up
  • 00:00:36.940 --> 00:00:40.743
  • One day and you can say, "greater is he that is in me
  • 00:00:40.743 --> 00:00:44.080
  • Than he that is in the world.
  • 00:00:44.080 --> 00:00:46.349

  • Creflo: what do we need to be doing as far as redeemed effort
  • 00:02:01.291 --> 00:02:06.763
  • To have a prosperous soul?
  • 00:02:06.763 --> 00:02:09.299
  • Now remember, self-effort is effort trying to do what jesus
  • 00:02:09.299 --> 00:02:14.637
  • Has already done.
  • 00:02:14.637 --> 00:02:15.972
  • So we're not trying to do what jesus has already done.
  • 00:02:15.972 --> 00:02:17.707
  • Self-effort is trying to finish what jesus has already finished.
  • 00:02:17.707 --> 00:02:20.944
  • We're not--our effort here is not trying to finish what jesus
  • 00:02:20.944 --> 00:02:23.947
  • Has finished.
  • 00:02:23.947 --> 00:02:25.315
  • Righteousness is finished, redemption is finished.
  • 00:02:25.315 --> 00:02:28.418
  • Your prosperity and wholeness is finished, your holiness and
  • 00:02:28.418 --> 00:02:30.787
  • Faith, that's finished.
  • 00:02:30.787 --> 00:02:32.121
  • Jesus did all that, it's a done deal, it's done.
  • 00:02:32.121 --> 00:02:34.657
  • Redeemed effort is our participating in what has
  • 00:02:34.657 --> 00:02:40.396
  • Already been finished.
  • 00:02:40.396 --> 00:02:41.764
  • It is the fact that, you know, god's not--you know,
  • 00:02:41.764 --> 00:02:45.335
  • Participating in a relationship with god is something that jesus
  • 00:02:45.335 --> 00:02:48.938
  • Is not going to make you do.
  • 00:02:48.938 --> 00:02:50.840
  • Lifting your hands up at church and worship him is something you
  • 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.210
  • Decide to do, to enhance your relationship, to enhance your
  • 00:02:54.210 --> 00:02:57.580
  • Intimacy with the lord.
  • 00:02:57.580 --> 00:02:59.616
  • And so i want--i want to look at four things that we can do to
  • 00:02:59.616 --> 00:03:07.690
  • Keep our soul prospering and continue to rest
  • 00:03:07.690 --> 00:03:15.531
  • In wholeness and prosperity that's already finished.
  • 00:03:15.531 --> 00:03:21.304
  • How do i keep my soul prospering and rest in what's
  • 00:03:21.304 --> 00:03:25.541
  • Already finished?
  • 00:03:25.541 --> 00:03:26.909
  • Number one--and i spent yesterday--i wrote the message
  • 00:03:26.909 --> 00:03:32.015
  • Some weeks back.
  • 00:03:32.015 --> 00:03:33.549
  • And i was looking over and i'm like--i'm looking at this and
  • 00:03:33.549 --> 00:03:37.153
  • I'm thinking, okay, well, hooray, soul prosperity.
  • 00:03:37.153 --> 00:03:41.524
  • And then i'm, you know, i read the scripture again, he says,
  • 00:03:41.524 --> 00:03:44.394
  • You know, "i pray above all things that you may prosper and
  • 00:03:44.394 --> 00:03:47.730
  • Be in health, even as your soul prospers."
  • 00:03:47.730 --> 00:03:50.266
  • And the question is real clear, well, how do i get my soul
  • 00:03:50.266 --> 00:03:52.935
  • To prosper?
  • 00:03:52.935 --> 00:03:54.270
  • All right, prosperity is finished, wholeness is finished,
  • 00:03:54.270 --> 00:03:57.206
  • But how do i--what do i do?
  • 00:03:57.206 --> 00:03:59.676
  • I don't want you leaving church today talking about, "well,
  • 00:03:59.676 --> 00:04:01.911
  • Praise the lord, my wholeness is finished.
  • 00:04:01.911 --> 00:04:04.213
  • All i got to do is keep my soul prospering."
  • 00:04:04.213 --> 00:04:06.015
  • And we all kind of don't want to address the elephant in the
  • 00:04:06.015 --> 00:04:08.651
  • Room, how do you do that?
  • 00:04:08.651 --> 00:04:11.988
  • How do i get my mind, my will, and my emotions to prosper?
  • 00:04:11.988 --> 00:04:14.590
  • Number one, embrace your true identity.
  • 00:04:14.590 --> 00:04:20.663
  • You're going to learn that this is the foundation for
  • 00:04:20.663 --> 00:04:22.699
  • Everything, embrace your true identity.
  • 00:04:22.699 --> 00:04:25.401
  • You're not what the world says you are, you're not what your
  • 00:04:28.604 --> 00:04:30.773
  • Past says you are.
  • 00:04:30.773 --> 00:04:32.542
  • You are what the word and what jesus says you are.
  • 00:04:32.542 --> 00:04:36.479
  • This is the foundation of a prospering soul, embracing your
  • 00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:40.950
  • True identity, your true identity.
  • 00:04:40.950 --> 00:04:43.986
  • I am righteous, i am forgiven, i am complete in him, i am seated
  • 00:04:43.986 --> 00:04:48.991
  • With him.
  • 00:04:48.991 --> 00:04:50.326
  • That is my true identity.
  • 00:04:50.326 --> 00:04:51.694
  • So when fear knocks on the door, you say that's not me, that was
  • 00:04:51.694 --> 00:04:55.331
  • The old me.
  • 00:04:55.331 --> 00:04:56.666
  • I don't operate by fear, i operate by love, okay?
  • 00:04:56.666 --> 00:05:00.203
  • That's my true identity.
  • 00:05:00.203 --> 00:05:01.971
  • So when you embrace your true identity, then you embrace the
  • 00:05:01.971 --> 00:05:06.242
  • Foundation for a prospering soul.
  • 00:05:06.242 --> 00:05:10.113
  • I'm in christ, that's my true identity.
  • 00:05:10.113 --> 00:05:13.649
  • I'm in christ, i'm righteous, i am holy.
  • 00:05:13.649 --> 00:05:16.753
  • I'm full of the spirit of god, i am forgiven, i'm complete.
  • 00:05:16.753 --> 00:05:22.291
  • I am seated with him.
  • 00:05:22.291 --> 00:05:24.193
  • It's my identity.
  • 00:05:24.193 --> 00:05:25.762
  • My identity is the image of christ.
  • 00:05:25.762 --> 00:05:28.698
  • My identity is the image of christ.
  • 00:05:28.698 --> 00:05:30.933
  • I see myself like that.
  • 00:05:30.933 --> 00:05:32.568
  • Look at 1 john chapter 4:17.
  • 00:05:32.568 --> 00:05:35.104
  • My identity is the image of christ.
  • 00:05:35.104 --> 00:05:38.007
  • My blueprint is, you know, the bible says, "let us make man in
  • 00:05:38.007 --> 00:05:41.577
  • Our image."
  • 00:05:41.577 --> 00:05:42.945
  • That's my blueprint.
  • 00:05:42.945 --> 00:05:44.280
  • I've got to embrace my identity, and i cannot allow life to
  • 00:05:44.280 --> 00:05:47.216
  • Redefine who i am, okay?
  • 00:05:47.216 --> 00:05:50.253
  • That's where it starts from.
  • 00:05:50.253 --> 00:05:51.587
  • Everything that's finished with jesus starts from your
  • 00:05:51.587 --> 00:05:56.025
  • True identity.
  • 00:05:56.025 --> 00:05:57.393
  • He says, "herein is our love made perfect, that we may have
  • 00:05:57.393 --> 00:06:01.164
  • Boldness," or confidence, "in the day of judgment: because as
  • 00:06:01.164 --> 00:06:06.569
  • He is, so are we in this world."
  • 00:06:06.569 --> 00:06:11.040
  • And that's all present tense.
  • 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:12.742
  • We are right now as he is right now, but we happen to still
  • 00:06:12.742 --> 00:06:19.248
  • Be here.
  • 00:06:19.248 --> 00:06:20.616
  • And we are here as he is there and here because he lives on the
  • 00:06:20.616 --> 00:06:25.822
  • Inside of us.
  • 00:06:25.822 --> 00:06:27.423
  • That's who we are.
  • 00:06:27.423 --> 00:06:28.758
  • And there are christians that struggle with that.
  • 00:06:28.758 --> 00:06:30.460
  • Well, because here's what happens, you are continuing to
  • 00:06:30.460 --> 00:06:33.629
  • Allow your behavior to try to define your identity.
  • 00:06:33.629 --> 00:06:37.533
  • Your identity has already been defined by god, by his word,
  • 00:06:37.533 --> 00:06:42.205
  • That's who you are.
  • 00:06:42.205 --> 00:06:43.573
  • He has defined and declared this is who you are.
  • 00:06:43.573 --> 00:06:46.676
  • Now he's waiting on you to say, yes, i agree, this is who i am.
  • 00:06:46.676 --> 00:06:52.148
  • All right, and then your behavior is offline and now your
  • 00:06:52.148 --> 00:06:55.885
  • Behavior wants to come and condemn you, and your behavior
  • 00:06:55.885 --> 00:06:58.955
  • Is now trying to determine your identity.
  • 00:06:58.955 --> 00:07:00.890
  • So you misbehave, so your behavior is trying to say you're
  • 00:07:00.890 --> 00:07:03.693
  • A bad person because you misbehaved.
  • 00:07:03.693 --> 00:07:06.162
  • Or here's the big one the devil used, you misbehave and if you
  • 00:07:06.162 --> 00:07:09.432
  • Do say that my true identity, i have jesus's identity, then the
  • 00:07:09.432 --> 00:07:14.570
  • Enemy will come in your soul and say you're a hypocrite.
  • 00:07:14.570 --> 00:07:18.941
  • And you don't understand how important it is for you to
  • 00:07:18.941 --> 00:07:21.110
  • Maintain your stance, regardless of your behavior.
  • 00:07:21.110 --> 00:07:23.946
  • Because if you maintain your identity, your behavior will
  • 00:07:23.946 --> 00:07:27.350
  • Change and line up with your identity.
  • 00:07:27.350 --> 00:07:29.452
  • But you can't be going back and forth with your identity,
  • 00:07:29.452 --> 00:07:32.522
  • Jesus's identity today, no, not too sure tomorrow.
  • 00:07:32.522 --> 00:07:36.192
  • Jesus's identity the next day, ah, i just ain't no good.
  • 00:07:36.192 --> 00:07:40.096
  • I love what paul did.
  • 00:07:40.096 --> 00:07:41.564
  • Paul said, "i have wronged no man, i've defrauded no man."
  • 00:07:41.564 --> 00:07:45.201
  • And you go back about two pages and here he is, having stephen
  • 00:07:45.201 --> 00:07:48.104
  • Stoned and doing all this other kind of stuff.
  • 00:07:48.104 --> 00:07:51.474
  • But he knew the importance that if i'm going to be transformed,
  • 00:07:51.474 --> 00:07:54.343
  • I've got to first of all embrace what god said is finished.
  • 00:07:54.343 --> 00:07:57.713
  • My identity is finished.
  • 00:07:57.713 --> 00:07:59.415
  • I am in christ jesus, praise god.
  • 00:07:59.415 --> 00:08:03.219
  • I look in the mirror when i see jesus, glory to god.
  • 00:08:03.219 --> 00:08:06.756
  • I look in the mirror, i see my reflection when i see him.
  • 00:08:06.756 --> 00:08:09.926
  • As he is, so am i right now in this world.
  • 00:08:09.926 --> 00:08:13.629
  • If that is not embraced, then it makes it difficult for you to
  • 00:08:13.629 --> 00:08:17.867
  • Embrace any of the finished works of jesus.
  • 00:08:17.867 --> 00:08:21.103
  • That's so big.
  • 00:08:21.103 --> 00:08:23.105
  • If you don't embrace your true identity, it's--it--thank god
  • 00:08:23.105 --> 00:08:27.476
  • For his grace and mercy.
  • 00:08:27.476 --> 00:08:28.978
  • But man, i tell you, in your mind there's going to be this
  • 00:08:28.978 --> 00:08:31.380
  • Struggle of embracing your righteousness.
  • 00:08:31.380 --> 00:08:34.050
  • How you going to believe you're righteous when you don't believe
  • 00:08:34.050 --> 00:08:35.985
  • Your true identity?
  • 00:08:35.985 --> 00:08:37.320
  • How are you going to believe you're forgiven and redeemed if
  • 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.089
  • You don't receive your true identity?
  • 00:08:40.089 --> 00:08:41.557
  • That's first base, i got to receive my true identity first
  • 00:08:41.557 --> 00:08:44.660
  • And foremost.
  • 00:08:44.660 --> 00:08:45.995
  • This is who i am, this is who i am.
  • 00:08:45.995 --> 00:08:47.597
  • And the way i do it, the way i start and the way i'm
  • 00:08:47.597 --> 00:08:50.533
  • Recommending you start is that this is an everyday thing coming
  • 00:08:50.533 --> 00:08:53.035
  • Out of your mouth, this is who i am.
  • 00:08:53.035 --> 00:08:55.805
  • And anytime something happens, the first thing you do, remind
  • 00:08:55.805 --> 00:08:58.741
  • Yourself, i'm still righteous, i'm forgiven, i am seated
  • 00:08:58.741 --> 00:09:02.378
  • With him.
  • 00:09:02.378 --> 00:09:03.746
  • The devil hates that because all of the pressure is to try to get
  • 00:09:03.746 --> 00:09:07.083
  • You to behave contrary to what you believe so that you will be
  • 00:09:07.083 --> 00:09:11.654
  • Tempted not to believe who you are.
  • 00:09:11.654 --> 00:09:15.524
  • That's the chess game, guys.
  • 00:09:15.524 --> 00:09:17.393
  • And if you can play this chess game properly, you'll wake up
  • 00:09:17.393 --> 00:09:20.262
  • One day and you'll find yourself walking in the manifestation and
  • 00:09:20.262 --> 00:09:24.834
  • The glory of god in your life because it's flowing from that
  • 00:09:24.834 --> 00:09:27.870
  • True identity.
  • 00:09:27.870 --> 00:09:29.238
  • And your prosperity and your wholeness flows from that
  • 00:09:29.238 --> 00:09:32.908
  • True identity.
  • 00:09:32.908 --> 00:09:34.944
  • You remember proverbs 23:7?
  • 00:09:34.944 --> 00:09:37.713
  • Here's what he said, "as a man thinketh in his heart, so
  • 00:09:37.713 --> 00:09:44.587
  • Is he."
  • 00:09:44.587 --> 00:09:46.355
  • "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."
  • 00:09:46.355 --> 00:09:52.128
  • How are you thinking?
  • 00:09:52.128 --> 00:09:54.230
  • Because that's what the enemy wants to impact, your thinking.
  • 00:09:54.230 --> 00:09:57.466
  • He wants to impact your thinking.
  • 00:09:57.466 --> 00:09:58.901
  • "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."
  • 00:09:58.901 --> 00:10:01.037
  • So you are as you think you are.
  • 00:10:01.037 --> 00:10:03.539
  • And i'm trying to get you to think that you are according to
  • 00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:07.643
  • What god said about your identity.
  • 00:10:07.643 --> 00:10:10.646
  • He's trying to get you to think you are according to
  • 00:10:10.646 --> 00:10:14.183
  • Your misbehaving.
  • 00:10:14.183 --> 00:10:16.152
  • And so the basic here is as you think, then that's who you are.
  • 00:10:16.152 --> 00:10:21.924
  • A man--as a man thinketh, so is he.
  • 00:10:21.924 --> 00:10:24.660
  • He is how he thinks.
  • 00:10:24.660 --> 00:10:26.028
  • How you been thinking?
  • 00:10:26.028 --> 00:10:27.363
  • You still going around thinking you're that no good for nothing
  • 00:10:27.363 --> 00:10:29.799
  • Sinner that you used to be?
  • 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:31.834
  • You still going around thinking, well, i missed this so bad and
  • 00:10:31.834 --> 00:10:35.071
  • Ain't no way in the world god going to want to use me.
  • 00:10:35.071 --> 00:10:37.473
  • And besides, had i have been good early enough, then i'd have
  • 00:10:37.473 --> 00:10:40.976
  • Been farther along than where i am right now.
  • 00:10:40.976 --> 00:10:43.012
  • Let me tell you something, you ain't going to never miss the
  • 00:10:43.012 --> 00:10:45.347
  • Mark when it comes to jesus.
  • 00:10:45.347 --> 00:10:47.149
  • I don't care how crazy you acted, you're going to still end
  • 00:10:47.149 --> 00:10:49.685
  • Up doing what you're supposed to do and even sometimes better.
  • 00:10:49.685 --> 00:10:52.822
  • Somebody says that ain't scripture, you remember peter?
  • 00:10:52.822 --> 00:10:55.091
  • You remember peter when he denied the lord three times and
  • 00:10:55.091 --> 00:10:58.094
  • He went away and just kind of walked away because he was
  • 00:10:58.094 --> 00:11:00.229
  • Condemned because he couldn't believe he did that?
  • 00:11:00.229 --> 00:11:02.832
  • And jesus went and searched peter out and said, "peter, do
  • 00:11:02.832 --> 00:11:07.570
  • You love me?"
  • 00:11:07.570 --> 00:11:08.904
  • And then he said, "yeah, you know we're friends."
  • 00:11:08.904 --> 00:11:12.241
  • That was a greek word there that he used.
  • 00:11:12.241 --> 00:11:15.277
  • He said, "but you know, i want you to go and feed my sheep.
  • 00:11:15.277 --> 00:11:17.880
  • Yeah, you love me?"
  • 00:11:17.880 --> 00:11:19.381
  • Like, "yeah, yeah, we--we're cool."
  • 00:11:19.381 --> 00:11:23.586
  • "but peter, do you love me?"
  • 00:11:23.586 --> 00:11:26.355
  • He said, "yes, lord, you know, you know we're boys."
  • 00:11:26.355 --> 00:11:29.759
  • And jesus did something that blew peter's mind.
  • 00:11:33.496 --> 00:11:38.033
  • "i'm going to make you fisher of men.
  • 00:11:38.033 --> 00:11:41.403
  • What you was doing before was one thing, but i'm gonna make
  • 00:11:41.403 --> 00:11:44.707
  • You fisher of men."
  • 00:11:44.707 --> 00:11:46.976
  • Don't you ever think that some failure in your life is going to
  • 00:11:46.976 --> 00:11:51.313
  • Keep you behind and stop you from reaching the goal that
  • 00:11:51.313 --> 00:11:55.551
  • God--and the will that god planned for your life.
  • 00:11:55.551 --> 00:11:58.120
  • If you'll believe god, even though you failed, god will
  • 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:02.391
  • Still use you greater than you would have ever thought he could
  • 00:12:02.391 --> 00:12:05.294
  • Use you.
  • 00:12:05.294 --> 00:12:06.629
  • All you got to do is get up and keep it moving.
  • 00:12:06.629 --> 00:12:10.166
  • See, some of you have a problem believing that, and you're never
  • 00:12:14.403 --> 00:12:16.772
  • Going to know what i'm teaching is true until you do this,
  • 00:12:16.772 --> 00:12:20.776
  • Because there's the battle in the mind.
  • 00:12:20.776 --> 00:12:23.078
  • There's even a battle going on right now while i'm teaching
  • 00:12:23.078 --> 00:12:25.648
  • This because satan's like, "i don't want to lose you.
  • 00:12:25.648 --> 00:12:28.617
  • Don't listen to what creflo just said."
  • 00:12:28.617 --> 00:12:31.587
  • The mind is the real thing.
  • 00:12:35.224 --> 00:12:36.592
  • You win up here, you win.
  • 00:12:36.592 --> 00:12:40.663
  • But the same thing is true, you lose up here, you lose.
  • 00:12:40.663 --> 00:12:44.066
  • But thank god for his grace, thank god for his mercy.
  • 00:12:44.066 --> 00:12:46.936
  • God's always going to intervene in a situation.
  • 00:12:46.936 --> 00:12:49.939
  • He's not going to let you go.
  • 00:12:49.939 --> 00:12:51.273
  • He's never going to let the devil just swoop in and just
  • 00:12:51.273 --> 00:12:53.876
  • Take you and steal you.
  • 00:12:53.876 --> 00:12:55.211
  • There's always some mercy and grace somewhere around.
  • 00:12:55.211 --> 00:12:58.280
  • There's always some love and compassion somewhere around.
  • 00:12:58.280 --> 00:13:01.884
  • God will help you to see yourself.
  • 00:13:01.884 --> 00:13:06.055
  • God knows how to do that.
  • 00:13:06.055 --> 00:13:07.756
  • You ever been in a situation where you got stuck in
  • 00:13:07.756 --> 00:13:09.225
  • Lasciviousness and one more time becomes one more time, becomes
  • 00:13:09.225 --> 00:13:12.428
  • One more time.
  • 00:13:12.428 --> 00:13:13.762
  • Some of y'all know what i'm talking about.
  • 00:13:13.762 --> 00:13:15.097
  • I'm going to eat this in one pie one more time.
  • 00:13:15.097 --> 00:13:16.565
  • I'm going to do this cookie one more time.
  • 00:13:16.565 --> 00:13:17.900
  • I'm going to go on a diet after this one more time,
  • 00:13:17.900 --> 00:13:19.501
  • One more time, one more time.
  • 00:13:19.501 --> 00:13:20.836
  • I'm going to do this one more time.
  • 00:13:20.836 --> 00:13:22.171
  • We love talking about that, but then get over to the other
  • 00:13:22.171 --> 00:13:23.772
  • Place, i'm going to look at porn one more time.
  • 00:13:23.772 --> 00:13:25.608
  • I'm going to go and i'm going to have sex with this woman or man
  • 00:13:25.608 --> 00:13:28.143
  • One more time.
  • 00:13:28.143 --> 00:13:29.478
  • I'm--one more time become--lasciviousness is just
  • 00:13:29.478 --> 00:13:31.981
  • Simply, i can't find the breaks.
  • 00:13:31.981 --> 00:13:34.283
  • And then the shame comes and satan says, "i got him now,"
  • 00:13:38.020 --> 00:13:44.326
  • Shame, blame.
  • 00:13:44.326 --> 00:13:48.197
  • And then the mercy comes up in the middle of all of that in a
  • 00:13:48.197 --> 00:13:53.002
  • Very quiet whisper and he says, "i'm still here, son.
  • 00:13:53.002 --> 00:13:59.408
  • I haven't changed the way i've always thought about you.
  • 00:13:59.408 --> 00:14:04.013
  • I still love you.
  • 00:14:04.013 --> 00:14:05.381
  • I'm still for you.
  • 00:14:05.381 --> 00:14:06.715
  • I'm still fighting for you.
  • 00:14:06.715 --> 00:14:09.151
  • I'm not going nowhere.
  • 00:14:09.151 --> 00:14:11.086
  • I'll never leave you nor forsake you.
  • 00:14:11.086 --> 00:14:13.622
  • When you went to get drunk, i was there."
  • 00:14:13.622 --> 00:14:16.392
  • He'll fight for you.
  • 00:14:16.392 --> 00:14:18.560
  • But it's right there in that mind where you get so condemned
  • 00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:23.265
  • And so full of shame, you can't hardly hold your head up.
  • 00:14:23.265 --> 00:14:27.736
  • And that's why a lot of people stopped coming to church.
  • 00:14:27.736 --> 00:14:29.872
  • "now i just--you know, i don't want them church folks
  • 00:14:29.872 --> 00:14:32.141
  • Condemning me."
  • 00:14:32.141 --> 00:14:33.475
  • That's why we got to make room for the faults of others.
  • 00:14:33.475 --> 00:14:36.378
  • There's no condemnation to those who are in christ jesus.
  • 00:14:36.378 --> 00:14:39.915
  • "hm, heard you on your second divorce.
  • 00:14:39.915 --> 00:14:42.384
  • Well, if you ask me," but didn't nobody ask you, girl.
  • 00:14:45.955 --> 00:14:50.159
  • Go and take your wig off and go to bed and leave
  • 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.027
  • Everybody alone.
  • 00:14:52.027 --> 00:14:55.898
  • Because you're becoming a part of satan's team to add
  • 00:15:00.002 --> 00:15:06.342
  • Condemnation, grief, and all of that stuff to people.
  • 00:15:06.342 --> 00:15:11.480
  • And god's not going to give up.
  • 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:12.815
  • God will fight you, he'll fight the devil, he'll fight
  • 00:15:12.815 --> 00:15:15.951
  • Everybody, but he's not willing to lose you.
  • 00:15:15.951 --> 00:15:20.055
  • He will fight for you, oh my god.
  • 00:15:20.055 --> 00:15:24.393
  • How many of you know that god--you're here today because
  • 00:15:24.393 --> 00:15:26.862
  • God fought for you?
  • 00:15:26.862 --> 00:15:28.197
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:15:28.197 --> 00:15:29.932
  • It was hard to lift your hands up, but god fought for you.
  • 00:15:29.932 --> 00:15:33.335
  • It was hard for you to step on this campus, but god fought
  • 00:15:33.335 --> 00:15:36.138
  • For you.
  • 00:15:36.138 --> 00:15:37.506
  • It was hard for you to stand up and pray in the holy ghost, but
  • 00:15:37.506 --> 00:15:39.842
  • God fought for you.
  • 00:15:39.842 --> 00:15:41.510
  • And even in the middle of you praising, the devil kept trying
  • 00:15:41.510 --> 00:15:44.246
  • To remind you of what you did.
  • 00:15:44.246 --> 00:15:46.648
  • But then you open your mouth up one day and you can say,
  • 00:15:46.648 --> 00:15:49.651
  • "greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.
  • 00:15:49.651 --> 00:15:53.889
  • God has fought for me."
  • 00:15:53.889 --> 00:15:56.492
  • [speaking in tongues].
  • 00:15:59.995 --> 00:16:06.068
  • Look at 1 thessalonians chapter 5, verse 23 in the mirror.
  • 00:16:10.205 --> 00:16:14.743
  • 1 thessalonians chapter 5 and in verse 23 in the mirror.
  • 00:16:14.743 --> 00:16:21.316
  • She said--he said--let me look at it in the king james first.
  • 00:16:21.316 --> 00:16:26.789
  • Oh my god, this is just god, this is so good.
  • 00:16:29.925 --> 00:16:33.796
  • Oh my god, help me lord.
  • 00:16:33.796 --> 00:16:36.231
  • [speaking in tongues].
  • 00:16:36.231 --> 00:16:39.268
  • Oh, i'm just thinking about--i'm just thinking about god fighting
  • 00:16:39.268 --> 00:16:42.905
  • For me, oh, hallelujah.
  • 00:16:42.905 --> 00:16:46.675
  • When sickness tries to kill you, god will fight for you, boy.
  • 00:16:46.675 --> 00:16:50.746
  • Hallelujah, glory to god.
  • 00:16:50.746 --> 00:16:52.614
  • When you've got a gun to your head and want to blow your
  • 00:16:52.614 --> 00:16:54.917
  • Brains out, god will fight for you.
  • 00:16:54.917 --> 00:16:57.719
  • [speaking in tongues], thank you, lord.
  • 00:16:57.719 --> 00:17:01.423
  • Hallelujah, glory be to god, hallelujah.
  • 00:17:01.423 --> 00:17:04.893
  • And god's not good because you've been good, god's good
  • 00:17:04.893 --> 00:17:07.529
  • Because god's good.
  • 00:17:07.529 --> 00:17:08.897
  • And i'm in a relationship with him, not because i'm good, i'm
  • 00:17:08.897 --> 00:17:11.867
  • In a relationship with him because he's good.
  • 00:17:11.867 --> 00:17:13.869
  • And if you'll get in a relationship with god and come
  • 00:17:13.869 --> 00:17:15.971
  • To know your god and not just know about your god, then the
  • 00:17:15.971 --> 00:17:19.374
  • Goodness of the lord will begin to flow into your life and you
  • 00:17:19.374 --> 00:17:22.611
  • Know you didn't deserve it, you know you didn't earn it.
  • 00:17:22.611 --> 00:17:25.314
  • Ha, oh my goodness, i'm pretty sure that he fought for
  • 00:17:28.851 --> 00:17:35.891
  • Everybody that's in here this morning.
  • 00:17:35.891 --> 00:17:38.794
  • And i'm pretty sure he's fighting for everybody, so don't
  • 00:17:38.794 --> 00:17:41.463
  • You give up.
  • 00:17:41.463 --> 00:17:42.798
  • Don't you quit, don't you submit to the lies of the devil.
  • 00:17:42.798 --> 00:17:46.235
  • Hallelujah, god's opening your eyes, you're not blind no more,
  • 00:17:46.235 --> 00:17:50.873
  • You believe.
  • 00:17:50.873 --> 00:17:54.042
  • Yeah, yeah, yeah, let me read this, man, before i start crying
  • 00:17:54.042 --> 00:17:56.879
  • Or something.
  • 00:17:56.879 --> 00:17:58.213
  • He said, "and the very god of peace sanctify you whole; i pray
  • 00:17:58.213 --> 00:18:06.355
  • Your whole spirit, your soul, your body," see, god was the
  • 00:18:06.355 --> 00:18:09.424
  • Only one that could fuse your spirit, soul, and body, and
  • 00:18:09.424 --> 00:18:14.062
  • "preserve you blameless unto the coming of the lord
  • 00:18:14.062 --> 00:18:16.498
  • Jesus christ."
  • 00:18:16.498 --> 00:18:17.866
  • And the next verse says that "faithful is he that calleth you
  • 00:18:17.866 --> 00:18:20.435
  • And he'll do it."

  • 00:18:28.877 --> 00:18:36.552
  • Of perfect peace, who fused you skillfully into oneness," fused
  • 00:18:36.552 --> 00:18:43.992
  • You skillfully, spirit, soul, and body into oneness, "just
  • 00:18:43.992 --> 00:18:48.664
  • Like a master craftsman would dovetail carpentry joints."
  • 00:18:48.664 --> 00:18:55.437
  • That's a--your dad used to be a carpenter, it was a tool that
  • 00:18:55.437 --> 00:19:01.009
  • They use.
  • 00:19:01.009 --> 00:19:02.544
  • "he has personally perfected," man, he didn't leave this to the
  • 00:19:02.544 --> 00:19:10.285
  • Angels, "he has personally," y'all don't understand.
  • 00:19:10.285 --> 00:19:15.224
  • "he personally perfected and personally sanctified the entire
  • 00:19:15.224 --> 00:19:20.963
  • Harmony of your being, of your being without," he did this with
  • 00:19:20.963 --> 00:19:28.103
  • Your being without none of your help.
  • 00:19:28.103 --> 00:19:31.974
  • He fused you together, spirit, soul, and body, "without none of
  • 00:19:31.974 --> 00:19:34.910
  • Your help.
  • 00:19:34.910 --> 00:19:38.447
  • He has restored the detailed default settings."
  • 00:19:38.447 --> 00:19:44.119
  • Y'all don't understand that.
  • 00:19:47.356 --> 00:19:49.458
  • You know what a default setting is, "he has restored the
  • 00:19:49.458 --> 00:19:55.697
  • Default settings."
  • 00:19:55.697 --> 00:19:58.634
  • "he has personally restored the default setting.
  • 00:20:02.671 --> 00:20:08.310
  • You were re-booted."
  • 00:20:11.446 --> 00:20:13.181
  • Yeah, ha ha, you know when your phone starts acting up crazy and
  • 00:20:17.219 --> 00:20:22.424
  • Ain't nothing else working and it ain't even responding and you
  • 00:20:22.424 --> 00:20:25.694
  • Turn it off and re--has anybody ever been re-booted before?

  • "you were re-booted to fully participate in the life of your
  • 00:20:41.376 --> 00:20:46.882
  • Design, in your spirit, in your soul, in your body," you were
  • 00:20:46.882 --> 00:20:54.823
  • Re-booted, "in blameless innocence in the immediate
  • 00:20:54.823 --> 00:20:58.894
  • Presence of the lord jesus christ."
  • 00:20:58.894 --> 00:21:01.263
  • I'm telling you, i don't know what you did, i don't want to
  • 00:21:01.263 --> 00:21:03.665
  • Know what you did.
  • 00:21:03.665 --> 00:21:05.000
  • I don't know how it happened, who it happened and when
  • 00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:06.735
  • It happened.
  • 00:21:06.735 --> 00:21:08.070
  • All i know is we serve a god of grace who will re-boot you.
  • 00:21:08.070 --> 00:21:12.574
  • Ay, glory to god, he'll--ay, glory to god.
  • 00:21:12.574 --> 00:21:17.446
  • Yeah, he will re-boot you spirit, soul, and body.
  • 00:21:17.446 --> 00:21:48.110
  • And every time he re-boot you, you love him more.
  • 00:21:52.180 --> 00:21:59.187
  • And then he re-boots you again, you're like, i can't believe he
  • 00:21:59.187 --> 00:22:03.258
  • Did it that time.
  • 00:22:03.258 --> 00:22:05.026
  • And then he rebukes you, he re--he rebukes you again, not
  • 00:22:05.026 --> 00:22:10.732
  • Rebuke, but re-boot you again and you love him more.

  • 00:22:18.006 --> 00:22:22.477
  • More because you can't believe this outstanding mercy and grace
  • 00:22:22.477 --> 00:22:27.382
  • That he would have the mitigated gall after you done act
  • 00:22:27.382 --> 00:22:31.787
  • Crazy crazy.
  • 00:22:31.787 --> 00:22:33.622
  • He said, "that's all right, this ain't working right now.
  • 00:22:33.622 --> 00:22:36.258
  • What i'm going to do is i'm going to re-boot you.
