...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.370
Male announcer: this program is brought to you in part by the
00:00:02.438 --> 00:00:04.473
Partners and friends of creflo dollar ministries.

Announcer: coming up next on "changing your world."
00:00:09.211 --> 00:00:11.447
Creflo dollar: true transformation is when the
00:00:12.648 --> 00:00:14.716
Desire has been changed, not just when the actions change.
00:00:14.716 --> 00:00:20.656
True transformation is not true transformation because you
00:00:20.656 --> 00:00:23.592
Stopped doing something.
00:00:23.592 --> 00:00:28.130
It's not just when the actions stop.
00:00:28.130 --> 00:00:30.866
It's when the desire has changed.
00:00:30.866 --> 00:00:35.504
That's true transformation, so you think you really changed
00:00:35.504 --> 00:00:38.407
Because you stopped doing something.
00:00:38.407 --> 00:00:41.009
But it's still in your heart, which means one day you're gonna
00:00:41.009 --> 00:00:43.278
Have the potential to do it again.
00:00:43.278 --> 00:00:47.783
Honey, when god change you, he wants to change you completely.

Creflo: true delight in him causes us to take our sights off
00:02:01.190 --> 00:02:06.061
Of what we want in order to long for what he wants.
00:02:06.061 --> 00:02:13.569
When you're operating in true delight, "delight yourself in
00:02:13.569 --> 00:02:16.138
The lord," this is what it looks like.
00:02:16.138 --> 00:02:18.407
You take your sights off what you want, and you put your
00:02:18.407 --> 00:02:24.313
Sights on what he wants, and you take your sights off what you
00:02:24.313 --> 00:02:28.884
Want in order to long for what he wants.
00:02:28.884 --> 00:02:34.122
And there's a longing here.
00:02:34.122 --> 00:02:36.391
There's a longing here to be able to long, god, i want your
00:02:36.391 --> 00:02:40.662
Will for my life.
00:02:40.662 --> 00:02:42.998
But that can't happen if you're constantly in self-indulgence.
00:02:42.998 --> 00:02:51.440
Can i go there for a minute?
00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:52.808
Self-indulgence.
00:02:52.808 --> 00:02:54.409
Self-indulgence, ladies and gentlemen, it's the desire of
00:02:54.409 --> 00:02:58.914
The flesh.
00:02:58.914 --> 00:03:00.249
It is not a longing for what god wants in your life, it's a
00:03:00.249 --> 00:03:03.218
Longing for what you want for your life and the different
00:03:03.218 --> 00:03:06.555
Cravings, you know, people have different cravings, right?
00:03:06.555 --> 00:03:10.559
You crave food, you crave sex, you crave adultery, you crave
00:03:10.559 --> 00:03:15.697
Drugs, you crave whatever you crave, okay?
00:03:15.697 --> 00:03:20.002
And you know what the real issue is around the issue of
00:03:20.002 --> 00:03:23.438
Craving something?
00:03:23.438 --> 00:03:25.540
You know, i thought, well, how do you defeat a crave?
00:03:25.540 --> 00:03:27.542
Well, you resist it and you fight against it.
00:03:27.542 --> 00:03:29.778
Yeah, kinda, but you need to find the root of your craving.
00:03:29.778 --> 00:03:33.949
The reason why you crave what you crave is a belief problem.
00:03:33.949 --> 00:03:39.354
"what do you mean, 'a belief problem'?"
00:03:39.354 --> 00:03:40.822
You believe that the thing you crave will make you happy.
00:03:40.822 --> 00:03:45.627
Yeah, you believe that drinking that little liquor right there,
00:03:49.865 --> 00:03:54.336
You--"i gotta have that 'cause that'll make me happy."
00:03:54.336 --> 00:03:56.505
Most of your addictive behaviors are fueled because you believe
00:03:56.505 --> 00:04:00.142
It'll make you happy.
00:04:00.142 --> 00:04:03.011
And all you gotta do is look at it, just look at the end results
00:04:03.011 --> 00:04:05.414
Of the thing.
00:04:05.414 --> 00:04:06.748
It don't make you happy, your head hurt.
00:04:06.748 --> 00:04:10.952
You know, i believed that krispy kreme donuts made me happy until
00:04:10.952 --> 00:04:15.290
Ken and i in new york got two dozen, and it made us sick.
00:04:15.290 --> 00:04:20.395
I don't ever want no donuts no more with all that sugar on it
00:04:20.395 --> 00:04:24.299
Because i was just craving it because i believed it would make
00:04:24.299 --> 00:04:26.902
Me happy.
00:04:26.902 --> 00:04:30.872
So you think that by having a wife and a girlfriend or a
00:04:30.872 --> 00:04:34.576
Boyfriend gonna make you happy.
00:04:34.576 --> 00:04:38.080
Until that shotgun come out, you believe it'll make you happy.
00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:44.186
So until you change your belief about being happy concerning the
00:04:44.186 --> 00:04:49.825
Thing you crave, you're still gonna be doing it.
00:04:49.825 --> 00:04:53.762
I smoke weed because--well, i don't smoke weed anymore, but i
00:04:53.762 --> 00:04:57.899
Want to correct that because people will hear that and say,
00:04:57.899 --> 00:05:00.769
"pastor smoke weed.
00:05:00.769 --> 00:05:02.104
You heard what he said on there?"
00:05:02.104 --> 00:05:04.239
As an example, i smoke weed because i believe that it's
00:05:04.239 --> 00:05:09.544
Gonna make me happy, and you'll feel goofy for a minute.
00:05:09.544 --> 00:05:16.385
Until one day, the results of it shows up in your life and you're
00:05:16.385 --> 00:05:20.589
Not as sharp as you used to be and you've been smoking forever
00:05:20.589 --> 00:05:23.892
And all kinds of stuff going on.
00:05:23.892 --> 00:05:26.461
You've got to change.
00:05:26.461 --> 00:05:27.796
What is it gonna take before you realize that is a deception,
00:05:27.796 --> 00:05:31.733
You're craving something because you think it's gonna make
00:05:31.733 --> 00:05:34.803
You happy?
00:05:34.803 --> 00:05:37.873
Are y'all hearing what i'm saying?
00:05:37.873 --> 00:05:40.809
But true delight is when we take our sights off what we want, and
00:05:40.809 --> 00:05:50.585
We finally get to a place where we long for what he wants.
00:05:50.585 --> 00:05:59.694
I want what he wants for me.
00:05:59.694 --> 00:06:05.267
He made me, he wired me, so there's something about me that
00:06:05.267 --> 00:06:09.237
I might not know about that he knows about and i want what he
00:06:09.237 --> 00:06:13.341
Wants from me.
00:06:13.341 --> 00:06:16.445
And you know, a lot of people are not interested in what god
00:06:16.445 --> 00:06:19.247
Wants for them.
00:06:19.247 --> 00:06:21.783
You know what they want--they want what they want.
00:06:21.783 --> 00:06:26.822
And i don't know if there's anything i can do about that.
00:06:26.822 --> 00:06:30.258
I know the spirit of god can do something about that.
00:06:30.258 --> 00:06:33.695
But that's what real delight looks like.
00:06:33.695 --> 00:06:35.931
I want what you want, lord.
00:06:35.931 --> 00:06:39.868
I want what you want.
00:06:39.868 --> 00:06:41.236
And then the fear of denying your craving comes up and you
00:06:41.236 --> 00:06:44.406
Think, "but what about this and what about that?"
00:06:44.406 --> 00:06:47.476
And you've never even given him the opportunity to show you that
00:06:47.476 --> 00:06:51.046
What he wants for you is so much better than what you want
00:06:51.046 --> 00:06:53.648
For yourself.
00:06:53.648 --> 00:06:55.917
So much better than what you want for yourself.
00:06:55.917 --> 00:06:59.554
And i know it's scary, trying to figure out are you gonna like
00:06:59.554 --> 00:07:06.628
What god wants for you?
00:07:06.628 --> 00:07:09.731
Well, here's the next part of that now.
00:07:09.731 --> 00:07:12.167
Let's take it slow.
00:07:12.167 --> 00:07:13.502
So, we looked at what delight is and i'm gonna keep working on
00:07:13.502 --> 00:07:15.704
That, but let's look at "give."
00:07:15.704 --> 00:07:18.540
"delight yourself in the lord, he'll give the desire of
00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:21.543
Your heart."
00:07:21.543 --> 00:07:22.878
It's so interesting, the hebrew here, that the word "give," it
00:07:22.878 --> 00:07:26.448
Does not mean to pass on a nice gift.
00:07:26.448 --> 00:07:30.819
So it's not talking about pass on a nice gift, but it means to
00:07:30.819 --> 00:07:34.956
Make a change in you.
00:07:34.956 --> 00:07:37.859
To impart or to assign as in, give you a new hair color, give
00:07:37.859 --> 00:07:43.231
You the kind of internal desire or attitudes you should have,
00:07:43.231 --> 00:07:48.336
Give you the desire or attitude, like give you patience and give
00:07:48.336 --> 00:07:51.373
You kindness.
00:07:51.373 --> 00:07:52.741
This is what happens when you delight yourself in the lord.
00:07:52.741 --> 00:07:55.844
He's gonna give you, assign you, impart unto you, make a change
00:07:55.844 --> 00:08:02.183
In you.
00:08:02.183 --> 00:08:03.518
It doesn't mean pass a nice gift.
00:08:03.518 --> 00:08:05.186
It's not, oh, i want a car, so god's gonna give you the car
00:08:05.186 --> 00:08:09.624
That's in your heart.
00:08:09.624 --> 00:08:10.959
No, he's not saying that.
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:12.327
He says, no, i'm not going to pass on a gift to you.
00:08:12.327 --> 00:08:15.230
I'm gonna impart something on you.
00:08:15.230 --> 00:08:16.831
I'm gonna assign something to you.
00:08:16.831 --> 00:08:18.767
I'm gonna give you something you didn't have.
00:08:18.767 --> 00:08:20.735
I'm gonna give you a attitude.
00:08:20.735 --> 00:08:22.971
I'm gonna give you a right desire.
00:08:22.971 --> 00:08:25.073
I'm gonna give you patience.
00:08:25.073 --> 00:08:26.441
I'm gonna give you kindness.
00:08:26.441 --> 00:08:27.776
He's accepting the entire responsibility for what happens
00:08:27.776 --> 00:08:31.446
When you delight in him.
00:08:31.446 --> 00:08:34.516
Here's another view of this word "give."
00:08:34.516 --> 00:08:37.485
In the hebrew there, this language means to bestow or to
00:08:37.485 --> 00:08:41.222
Apply it.
00:08:41.222 --> 00:08:43.258
Now, if you delight--here's what he's saying.
00:08:43.258 --> 00:08:46.027
If you delight, now here's what it means.
00:08:46.027 --> 00:08:47.896
If you allow god to lead you, if you allow god to direct your
00:08:47.896 --> 00:08:51.800
Life like you're completely dead, then god will apply.
00:08:51.800 --> 00:08:55.804
He will put his desire into your heart, not give you what is in
00:08:55.804 --> 00:08:59.975
Your heart, but what is in god's heart, he will put in
00:08:59.975 --> 00:09:03.445
Your heart.
00:09:03.445 --> 00:09:04.779
He says, "you delight yourself unto me."
00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:06.281
If you will give god an opportunity to lead you, give
00:09:06.281 --> 00:09:08.984
God an opportunity to direct your life, he says, "i'm gonna
00:09:08.984 --> 00:09:12.187
Give you me.
00:09:12.187 --> 00:09:16.124
I'm gonna give you me.
00:09:16.124 --> 00:09:17.492
I'm gonna give you my heart.
00:09:17.492 --> 00:09:19.127
I'm gonna--i'm gonna give you me.
00:09:19.127 --> 00:09:21.429
I'm gonna give you me.
00:09:21.429 --> 00:09:22.964
I'm not gonna give you what's in your heart.
00:09:22.964 --> 00:09:24.766
I'm gonna give you what's in my heart.
00:09:24.766 --> 00:09:26.134
I'm gonna give you my heart."
00:09:26.134 --> 00:09:27.869
I want god's heart.
00:09:27.869 --> 00:09:29.237
I want what's god--i want what's in his heart, okay?
00:09:29.237 --> 00:09:33.608
I don't know how the desire got in my heart for whatever it is,
00:09:33.608 --> 00:09:37.946
But i want what's in his heart, and when i get--when i get him,
00:09:37.946 --> 00:09:42.784
Then what's in my heart i want because that was--that's what's
00:09:42.784 --> 00:09:45.687
In his heart.
00:09:45.687 --> 00:09:47.222
And you gotta ask the question: what's in your heart, was that
00:09:47.222 --> 00:09:49.891
In god's heart?
00:09:49.891 --> 00:09:53.495
Is that in god's heart?
00:09:53.495 --> 00:09:54.863
What's in your heart, is that in god's heart?
00:09:54.863 --> 00:09:59.367
I want what's in your heart.
00:09:59.367 --> 00:10:01.670
I don't see any way we can do this without a relationship
00:10:01.670 --> 00:10:04.239
With him.
00:10:04.239 --> 00:10:06.641
'cause i don't know all the scriptures to apply to having
00:10:06.641 --> 00:10:10.011
This kind of relationship with him.
00:10:10.011 --> 00:10:12.681
I do know, i do know i would love to have the assurance that
00:10:12.681 --> 00:10:17.118
What's in my heart came from you, that was your heart.
00:10:17.118 --> 00:10:22.123
And a lot of you right now probably are carrying what's in
00:10:22.123 --> 00:10:25.894
Your heart that was in god's heart.
00:10:25.894 --> 00:10:29.264
I'm just saying that sometimes in your life where you might
00:10:29.264 --> 00:10:32.233
Have to question what is this in my heart?
00:10:32.233 --> 00:10:35.503
Is that god's heart?
00:10:35.503 --> 00:10:38.306
Say out loud, "i want god's heart."
00:10:38.306 --> 00:10:41.443
See, i want god to apply his heart and to assign his heart to
00:10:41.443 --> 00:10:44.913
My heart.
00:10:44.913 --> 00:10:47.082
And he says the only way i'm gonna do that is i'm gonna
00:10:47.082 --> 00:10:49.517
Delight myself in him.
00:10:49.517 --> 00:10:50.919
I'm going to have the courage enough to let him lead me and to
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.823
Let him direct me and to let him teach me and let him show me and
00:10:54.823 --> 00:11:00.361
At least get to the point where i'm saying, lord, i just wanna
00:11:00.361 --> 00:11:03.064
Make sure that my heart and your heart are the same.
00:11:03.064 --> 00:11:09.104
So i don't just take off and just start doing stuff.
00:11:09.104 --> 00:11:13.041
That wasn't your heart in the first place.
00:11:13.041 --> 00:11:16.044
Oh my goodness.
00:11:16.044 --> 00:11:18.113
I tell you the glory is about to increase in your house.
00:11:18.113 --> 00:11:25.954
I want what's in his heart.
00:11:25.954 --> 00:11:32.627
Yeah, he did say that.
00:11:36.164 --> 00:11:38.633
I want what's in god's heart.
00:11:38.633 --> 00:11:40.668
How?
00:11:43.605 --> 00:11:44.973
Delight myself in him.
00:11:44.973 --> 00:11:48.409
Let him lead me, let him direct my life.
00:11:48.409 --> 00:11:52.313
And let him do it as if, like i'm completely dead and have
00:11:52.313 --> 00:11:55.483
No control.
00:11:55.483 --> 00:11:59.354
Someone might say, "but, brother dollar, i'm enjoying sin."
00:11:59.354 --> 00:12:05.393
And the bible says you'll have pleasure for a season.
00:12:05.393 --> 00:12:12.000
"but what do i do?
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.368
What do i do?
00:12:13.368 --> 00:12:14.736
You're telling me to do this, but i'm telling you i'm enjoying
00:12:14.736 --> 00:12:16.738
What's in my heart.
00:12:16.738 --> 00:12:19.974
I know it's wrong, but i'm enjoying it."
00:12:19.974 --> 00:12:22.710
For a season.
00:12:22.710 --> 00:12:25.013
He says, "delight--" what do i do?
00:12:25.013 --> 00:12:27.515
"delight."
00:12:27.515 --> 00:12:28.850
What do i do?
00:12:28.850 --> 00:12:30.218
"delight."
00:12:30.218 --> 00:12:31.553
I'm enjoying sin.
00:12:31.553 --> 00:12:32.921
He says, "what do i do?"
00:12:32.921 --> 00:12:34.255
"delight," and he changes the desire.
00:12:34.255 --> 00:12:35.623
What does it look like?
00:12:35.623 --> 00:12:36.958
Lord, you love me with a never-ending, undying,
00:12:36.958 --> 00:12:38.660
Unconditional love.
00:12:38.660 --> 00:12:40.228
You'll never leave me nor forsake me.
00:12:40.228 --> 00:12:42.463
I am the righteousness of god.
00:12:42.463 --> 00:12:44.199
Let these things lead you.
00:12:44.199 --> 00:12:47.202
Let love lead you.
00:12:47.202 --> 00:12:49.137
Somebody says, "well, i don't-- i can't hear from god
00:12:49.137 --> 00:12:50.738
Real good."
00:12:50.738 --> 00:12:52.106
All right, so we know what we can do.
00:12:52.106 --> 00:12:54.509
God is love, okay?
00:12:54.509 --> 00:12:56.110
Let love lead you.
00:12:56.110 --> 00:12:58.580
Let love lead your life.
00:12:58.580 --> 00:13:00.949
When you're tempted to treat somebody wrong, ignore
00:13:00.949 --> 00:13:04.719
Somebody, gaslight.
00:13:04.719 --> 00:13:06.855
I don't even know if i know what that means, but i don't even
00:13:06.855 --> 00:13:08.990
Know if it's appropriate in a sense, but kinda heard it and i
00:13:08.990 --> 00:13:11.125
Don't, you know.
00:13:11.125 --> 00:13:12.460
So if you're tempted--i think it's a negative thing, but if
00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:14.529
You're tempted to do that, he says, let love lead you.
00:13:14.529 --> 00:13:20.635
Let righteous--let the fact that you're righteous, let that
00:13:20.635 --> 00:13:23.638
Lead you.
00:13:23.638 --> 00:13:26.174
Let the fact that he said, "i'll never leave you, nor forsake
00:13:26.174 --> 00:13:28.343
You," let that lead you.
00:13:28.343 --> 00:13:32.714
"oh, i'm trying to hear from god, but i can't."
00:13:32.714 --> 00:13:34.549
But you know that he's love.
00:13:34.549 --> 00:13:35.984
Let it lead you.
00:13:35.984 --> 00:13:37.318
Go down the path of love, and if it's not love, it's probably
00:13:37.318 --> 00:13:40.255
Not him.
00:13:40.255 --> 00:13:44.058
I know we get hurt.
00:13:44.058 --> 00:13:45.426
I know we get frustrated.
00:13:45.426 --> 00:13:46.761
I know we get mad and we're tempted to let hurt,
00:13:46.761 --> 00:13:50.265
Frustration, and madness lead us.
00:13:50.265 --> 00:13:53.268
But that's not god's heart.
00:13:53.268 --> 00:13:56.471
See, i don't care how powerful the revelation is, and i don't
00:13:56.471 --> 00:13:59.073
Care how many times you can prophesy people's addresses, i
00:13:59.073 --> 00:14:02.176
Want love to lead me.
00:14:02.176 --> 00:14:05.580
Because anything that happens that takes me away from the
00:14:05.580 --> 00:14:08.182
Cross, i don't wanna have nothing to do with it.
00:14:08.182 --> 00:14:11.786
Praise the lord.
00:14:11.786 --> 00:14:13.121
I know the bible says, "examine your heart," but i wanna look up
00:14:13.121 --> 00:14:16.224
Before i look in.
00:14:16.224 --> 00:14:17.692
Because if i look in without looking up, i might be looking
00:14:17.692 --> 00:14:20.862
In and finding some darkness in my life and it'll tell a
00:14:20.862 --> 00:14:23.698
Thousand lies to me.
00:14:23.698 --> 00:14:25.133
It'll tell me i'm nothing.
00:14:25.133 --> 00:14:26.501
It'll tell me i'm not righteous.
00:14:26.501 --> 00:14:27.835
It'll tell me that god doesn't love me.
00:14:27.835 --> 00:14:29.437
But if i look up and god says, "i love you, i'll never leave
00:14:29.437 --> 00:14:32.373
You, nor forsake you.
00:14:32.373 --> 00:14:33.841
You are my righteousness," then when i look in the darkness in
00:14:33.841 --> 00:14:36.811
My life, i bring some light in there and i can see clearly that
00:14:36.811 --> 00:14:40.448
Even though it exists, praise god, i'm gonna let those things
00:14:40.448 --> 00:14:43.918
Lead me.
00:14:43.918 --> 00:14:47.088
Are y'all hearing me this morning?
00:14:47.088 --> 00:14:52.860
See, grace doesn't just reveal what jesus has already done.
00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:56.431
Grace wants to transform you.
00:14:56.431 --> 00:14:59.100
It is good for your heart to be filled with grace.
00:14:59.100 --> 00:15:01.936
Why?
00:15:01.936 --> 00:15:03.304
He wants to transform your life.
00:15:03.304 --> 00:15:05.406
And he wants you to have a relationship with the spirit
00:15:05.406 --> 00:15:08.543
Of grace.
00:15:08.543 --> 00:15:10.511
Grace is not that which allows you to do something and get away
00:15:10.511 --> 00:15:13.281
With it and god's just fine with it.
00:15:13.281 --> 00:15:16.517
Grace is that thing that teaches you how to overcome the thing
00:15:16.517 --> 00:15:20.488
That you used to do, that you used to get away with.
00:15:20.488 --> 00:15:23.057
He still loves you.
00:15:23.057 --> 00:15:24.425
How you behave doesn't change him, but how you behave may
00:15:24.425 --> 00:15:28.963
Change you.
00:15:28.963 --> 00:15:35.603
Your behavior doesn't change god.
00:15:35.603 --> 00:15:37.071
God loved you before you got saved.
00:15:37.071 --> 00:15:39.107
He loved you when you was acting like a fool, trying to be cool.
00:15:39.107 --> 00:15:42.110
God's always loved you because he doesn't have love, he
00:15:42.110 --> 00:15:44.946
Is love.
00:15:44.946 --> 00:15:46.314
But your behavior may be impacting your life negatively.
00:15:46.314 --> 00:15:52.353
And grace wants to move you into transformation.
00:15:52.353 --> 00:15:56.758
And he made it so easy.
00:15:56.758 --> 00:15:58.126
He says, "just by beholding jesus, you'll be changed by the
00:15:58.126 --> 00:16:01.295
Holy ghost.
00:16:01.295 --> 00:16:02.663
And just by delighting in me and trusting me and commend your
00:16:02.663 --> 00:16:05.433
Ways unto me and letting me lead you and guide your life and
00:16:05.433 --> 00:16:09.170
Letting me apply my heart to your heart," he says
00:16:09.170 --> 00:16:11.672
I'll change.
00:16:11.672 --> 00:16:13.007
"all i need for you to do is let me.
00:16:13.007 --> 00:16:16.978
See me.
00:16:16.978 --> 00:16:19.547
Behold me, let me, see me, delight in me.
00:16:19.547 --> 00:16:23.084
I'm not asking you to do--" how hard is that?
00:16:23.084 --> 00:16:25.987
Behold and delight.
00:16:25.987 --> 00:16:29.891
He didn't ask you to do nothing.
00:16:29.891 --> 00:16:31.426
He said, "behold, and the holy ghost will transform you."
00:16:31.426 --> 00:16:35.596
He said, "delight, and i will deliver you."
00:16:35.596 --> 00:16:42.036
He knows how to change your want to.
00:16:42.036 --> 00:16:43.671
Just because you wanna do something now, doesn't mean
00:16:43.671 --> 00:16:45.406
You're gonna always wanna do it.
00:16:45.406 --> 00:16:48.709
He'll change you.
00:16:48.709 --> 00:16:50.678
And that's why you can't buy in to the identity that the world
00:16:50.678 --> 00:16:54.415
Tells you to accept because god has given you his identity and
00:16:54.415 --> 00:16:59.153
If you'll accept his identity, he will change you, he will mold
00:16:59.153 --> 00:17:03.024
You, he will make you, praise god.
00:17:03.024 --> 00:17:07.295
The only thing that's set in stone is what he said.
00:17:07.295 --> 00:17:14.001
And every attack of the enemy is an attack on your identity.
00:17:14.001 --> 00:17:18.272
That's why the devil is so afraid that you're gonna start
00:17:18.272 --> 00:17:20.975
Using your identity in jesus to resist temptation.
00:17:20.975 --> 00:17:25.446
Temptation will never overcome a believer who will not let go of
00:17:25.446 --> 00:17:29.884
His identity.
00:17:29.884 --> 00:17:32.687
I am the righteousness of god.
00:17:32.687 --> 00:17:34.255
I am redeemed.
00:17:34.255 --> 00:17:35.623
I am holy, i am sanctified, and i am perfect in jesus christ.
00:17:35.623 --> 00:17:40.094
That's who i am.
00:17:40.094 --> 00:17:42.964
Not because i act like it, but because that's who he made me
00:17:42.964 --> 00:17:46.601
And if i can hold on to how he made me long enough.
00:17:46.601 --> 00:17:50.605
He'll make me over again.
00:17:50.605 --> 00:17:59.413
Y'all getting this?
00:18:02.917 --> 00:18:06.487
True transformation is when the desire has been changed, not
00:18:06.487 --> 00:18:10.725
Just when the actions change.
00:18:10.725 --> 00:18:14.462
True transformation is not true transformation because you stop
00:18:14.462 --> 00:18:17.632
Doing something.
00:18:17.632 --> 00:18:21.936
It's not just when the actions stop.
00:18:21.936 --> 00:18:24.705
It's when the desire has changed.
00:18:24.705 --> 00:18:29.343
That's true transformation.
00:18:29.343 --> 00:18:30.978
So you think you really changed because you stopped
00:18:30.978 --> 00:18:32.880
Doing something.
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:34.815
But it's still in your heart, which means one day you're gonna
00:18:34.815 --> 00:18:37.084
Have the potential to do it again.
00:18:37.084 --> 00:18:41.589
Honey, when god change you, he wants to change you completely.
00:18:41.589 --> 00:18:46.727
And he's already started.
00:18:46.727 --> 00:18:48.829
Let me tell you, some of y'all in here, you know good and well,
00:18:48.829 --> 00:18:51.465
You ain't nowhere near what you used to be.
00:18:51.465 --> 00:18:57.238
Nah, you ain't.
00:18:57.238 --> 00:18:58.606
Even if he ain't changed but a little bit, a little bit better
00:18:58.606 --> 00:19:00.408
Than none at all, but you're not what you used to be.
00:19:00.408 --> 00:19:02.877
And if you--the more you give to him, the more he's able to do
00:19:02.877 --> 00:19:07.114
For you.
00:19:07.114 --> 00:19:09.584
Now he know how to change you.
00:19:09.584 --> 00:19:11.219
He might have to expand the program a little longer.
00:19:11.219 --> 00:19:14.789
You know some of them folks who go 20 years in college and six
00:19:14.789 --> 00:19:22.763
Years in high school, they still came out.
00:19:22.763 --> 00:19:27.568
They got their degree, praise the lord, but it just took
00:19:27.568 --> 00:19:29.904
A while.
00:19:29.904 --> 00:19:32.907
'cause some people want to do what they wanna do.
00:19:32.907 --> 00:19:34.242
I like what taffi said this weekend.
00:19:34.242 --> 00:19:35.743
I kept saying--i said, "please tell me that again."
00:19:35.743 --> 00:19:37.612
She said, "you know what, when people say they wanna do
00:19:37.612 --> 00:19:39.914
Something," she said, "i'm gonna reply like this, 'have at it.'"
00:19:39.914 --> 00:19:47.455
Because life is a teacher.
00:19:47.455 --> 00:19:54.462
You hear me?
00:19:54.462 --> 00:19:55.830
If you--if you don't want to listen to nobody, you don't want
00:19:55.830 --> 00:19:57.565
To listen to nobody.
00:19:57.565 --> 00:19:58.899
Life is a teacher.
00:19:58.899 --> 00:20:00.935
Have at it, boss.
00:20:00.935 --> 00:20:08.009
'cause sometimes you get tired of wanting it more than the
00:20:08.009 --> 00:20:10.978
Individuals want it.
00:20:10.978 --> 00:20:12.580
You gotta want it.
00:20:12.580 --> 00:20:13.914
I'm--i want it more than you do.
00:20:13.914 --> 00:20:15.283
I mean, how can i invest in somebody that won't invest
00:20:15.283 --> 00:20:18.686
In themselves?
00:20:18.686 --> 00:20:20.054
It's just like this.
00:20:20.054 --> 00:20:21.389
You can't tell me you love me and i find out you don't even
00:20:21.389 --> 00:20:23.257
Love yourself.
00:20:23.257 --> 00:20:25.860
How am i supposed to believe you love me and you don't even
00:20:25.860 --> 00:20:27.662
Love you?
00:20:27.662 --> 00:20:33.167
Mighty quiet in this --
00:20:34.302 --> 00:20:35.670
I just--some of y'all looking at me like, "i think i'm getting
00:20:35.670 --> 00:20:38.339
Off the bus."
00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:44.445
Look at philippians 2:13 in the nlt.
00:20:44.445 --> 00:20:49.984
You are being transformed, ladies and gentlemen.
00:20:49.984 --> 00:20:53.921
The day you heard the gospel, your transformation started.
00:20:53.921 --> 00:20:57.325
We couldn't figure it out.
00:20:57.325 --> 00:20:58.693
We knew something was going on, like somebody was moving our
00:20:58.693 --> 00:21:00.895
Furniture around.
00:21:00.895 --> 00:21:02.263
We knew something was happening because we, like, "god dog, oh,
00:21:02.263 --> 00:21:04.932
I remember the day."
00:21:04.932 --> 00:21:06.834
Yeah, but look at what--look at what the spirit of grace has
00:21:06.834 --> 00:21:10.071
Already done and don't you want to know the heart of god?
00:21:10.071 --> 00:21:14.842
Don't you want his heart and your heart and you're walking
00:21:14.842 --> 00:21:17.511
Around and every time you show up, the anointing shows up
00:21:17.511 --> 00:21:19.780
With you.
00:21:19.780 --> 00:21:21.115
You walk in a department store and everybody demands an
00:21:21.115 --> 00:21:23.684
Explanation of what just happened.
00:21:23.684 --> 00:21:25.186
The atmosphere just changed 'cause you walked in there.
00:21:25.186 --> 00:21:29.657
That's what i'm talking about.
00:21:29.657 --> 00:21:30.991
This glory is about to increase in your life.
00:21:30.991 --> 00:21:32.526
We're not just gonna be religious people that go to
00:21:32.526 --> 00:21:34.628
Church, praise the lord, and have our little religious
00:21:34.628 --> 00:21:39.066
Language, and no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's
00:21:39.066 --> 00:21:41.369
Time, it's time for the authenticity of this
00:21:41.369 --> 00:21:44.338
Relationship of grace to flow out of us so people will know
00:21:44.338 --> 00:21:48.209
There is something about you that's not like what i don't--
00:21:48.209 --> 00:21:51.612
What--who are you?
00:21:51.612 --> 00:21:52.947
What's your name?
00:21:52.947 --> 00:21:54.315
Where you came from?
00:21:54.315 --> 00:21:55.649
I sensed something.
00:21:55.649 --> 00:21:57.017
Oh, my hand just got healed.
00:21:57.017 --> 00:21:58.352
Oh, and then i'm fell out and you didn't do nothing.
00:21:58.352 --> 00:21:59.987
You just trying to talk to them y'all at the grocery store.
00:21:59.987 --> 00:22:02.022
Folks are falling out.
00:22:02.022 --> 00:22:03.391
You just trying to get some manna.
00:22:03.391 --> 00:22:04.725
You don't even know what's going on.
00:22:04.725 --> 00:22:08.429
That's what i'm talking about.
00:22:08.429 --> 00:22:09.764
I don't want to miss what the anointing is like on a physical
00:22:09.764 --> 00:22:13.100
Human body.
00:22:13.100 --> 00:22:14.468
I don't want to miss what the glory is like on a physical
00:22:14.468 --> 00:22:17.538
Human body.
00:22:17.538 --> 00:22:20.875
'cause i let the influencers of the world convince me ain't
00:22:20.875 --> 00:22:24.378
Nothing special about me, i'm just a human.
00:22:24.378 --> 00:22:26.747
No, i'm not just a human.
00:22:26.747 --> 00:22:28.949
I'm anointed by god.
00:22:28.949 --> 00:22:30.785
I have the presence of a holy ghost living on the inside of
00:22:30.785 --> 00:22:34.054
Me, glory to god.
00:22:34.054 --> 00:22:43.531
This thing about to wrap up.
00:22:43.531 --> 00:22:44.865
Is my--it's our last opportunity [speaking in tongues]
00:22:44.865 --> 00:22:50.037
It's our last opportunity to see us like we really are.
00:22:50.037 --> 00:22:59.480
Male announcer: how can christians thrive and flourish?
00:23:03.584 --> 00:23:05.853
Our lives are supposed to be better in christ, but sometimes
00:23:05.853 --> 00:23:08.722
They don't seem like they are.
00:23:08.722 --> 00:23:10.157
Creflo dollar uncovers the answers to this and more

00:23:21.969 --> 00:23:25.706

00:23:30.110 --> 00:23:34.682

Creflo: everything in god's kingdom works by faith.
00:25:04.138 --> 00:25:08.075
Now i remember when taffi and i started giving.
00:25:08.075 --> 00:25:10.911
It was a painful thing to give because we didn't have much at
00:25:10.911 --> 00:25:14.181
All, financially.
00:25:14.181 --> 00:25:15.616
However, we made a decision to be givers and one of the most
00:25:15.616 --> 00:25:20.087
Quoted scriptures in the bible is john 3:16, "god so loved the
00:25:20.087 --> 00:25:24.224
World that he gave."
00:25:24.224 --> 00:25:26.193
Therefore, as christians, we give.
00:25:26.193 --> 00:25:28.295
Our giving is an expression of our love and when you support
00:25:28.295 --> 00:25:32.566
Creflo dollar ministries financially, you are giving to
00:25:32.566 --> 00:25:35.803

Physical needs.
