  • Creflo: last week we began to talk about transactional
  • 00:02:01.456 --> 00:02:07.629
  • Relationships versus relational relationships.
  • 00:02:07.629 --> 00:02:14.069
  • And i'm dealing with this series that talks about
  • 00:02:14.069 --> 00:02:16.672
  • True prosperity.
  • 00:02:16.672 --> 00:02:18.040
  • I started to call it something else, but i wanted to make sure
  • 00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:19.775
  • You hear prosperity so that you'll know that this is a
  • 00:02:19.775 --> 00:02:22.778
  • Corrective series, and i'm gonna confront everything you ever
  • 00:02:22.778 --> 00:02:27.349
  • Thought about prosperity.
  • 00:02:27.349 --> 00:02:28.917
  • I already said to you that money does not equal prosperity.
  • 00:02:28.917 --> 00:02:33.922
  • And material things don't equal prosperity.
  • 00:02:33.922 --> 00:02:36.892
  • So where does all that stuff fit with all the stuff we've heard
  • 00:02:36.892 --> 00:02:39.728
  • And all the stuff we've done and all the stuff i taught, you
  • 00:02:39.728 --> 00:02:43.432
  • Know, not grace-based, but how does this fit under the finished
  • 00:02:43.432 --> 00:02:47.502
  • Works of jesus and how does it fit under the covenant of grace?
  • 00:02:47.502 --> 00:02:52.841
  • And i wanna prepare you for whatever is to come, whatever
  • 00:02:52.841 --> 00:02:56.645
  • Happens with the dollar, whatever happens with the
  • 00:02:56.645 --> 00:03:00.482
  • Economy, you are not to be moved by that.
  • 00:03:00.482 --> 00:03:04.486
  • And this is what i'm sharing with you, and please, i beg you,
  • 00:03:04.486 --> 00:03:07.623
  • Take notes, listen to what i'm saying so that no panic will run
  • 00:03:07.623 --> 00:03:11.927
  • Your way, regardless of what you hear, you are safe in the arms
  • 00:03:11.927 --> 00:03:17.966
  • Of our lord, amen.
  • 00:03:17.966 --> 00:03:19.835
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:03:19.835 --> 00:03:21.203
  • So let's pick up in genesis chapter 39.
  • 00:03:21.203 --> 00:03:26.475
  • Genesis chapter 39 and verses 1 through whenever, you know.
  • 00:03:26.475 --> 00:03:33.715
  • Let's see what happens here.
  • 00:03:33.715 --> 00:03:35.884
  • Genesis chapter 39, verse 1, we're gonna talk about mainly
  • 00:03:35.884 --> 00:03:39.955
  • Today true prosperity.
  • 00:03:39.955 --> 00:03:41.323
  • So if i say that--if i talk about true prosperity there must
  • 00:03:41.323 --> 00:03:45.093
  • Be some false prosperity.
  • 00:03:45.093 --> 00:03:47.829
  • Look at what happened here.
  • 00:03:47.829 --> 00:03:49.231
  • Genesis chapter 39, verse 1. speaks about joseph who he says,
  • 00:03:49.231 --> 00:03:54.236
  • "joseph was brought down to egypt and potiphar, an officer
  • 00:03:54.236 --> 00:03:59.107
  • Of pharaoh, captain of the guard, an egyptian, bought him."
  • 00:03:59.107 --> 00:04:05.947
  • Literally purchased him.
  • 00:04:05.947 --> 00:04:08.917
  • You see, joseph was sold into slavery right here.
  • 00:04:08.917 --> 00:04:14.823
  • Sold as a slave.
  • 00:04:14.823 --> 00:04:17.225
  • And he was purchased by an egyptian by the name of potiphar
  • 00:04:17.225 --> 00:04:21.196
  • That bought him from the hands of the ishmaelites who were
  • 00:04:21.196 --> 00:04:24.666
  • Selling slaves.
  • 00:04:24.666 --> 00:04:26.601
  • "and they brought him down hither."
  • 00:04:26.601 --> 00:04:29.805
  • All right, now here's a guy that was purchased as a slave.
  • 00:04:29.805 --> 00:04:34.476
  • And notice verse 2, "and the lord was with joseph."
  • 00:04:34.476 --> 00:04:40.382
  • Say that.
  • 00:04:40.382 --> 00:04:41.717
  • Say, "the lord was with joseph."
  • 00:04:41.717 --> 00:04:43.285
  • That is key.
  • 00:04:43.285 --> 00:04:44.686
  • "the lord was with joseph and he was a prosperous man."
  • 00:04:44.686 --> 00:04:52.527
  • Now watch this, "the lord was with joseph, and he was a
  • 00:04:52.527 --> 00:04:56.531
  • Prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master,
  • 00:04:56.531 --> 00:05:02.104
  • The egyptian."
  • 00:05:02.104 --> 00:05:03.839
  • So notice what was said about a slave who had no material
  • 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:11.246
  • Possessions and had no money and he was called prosperous.
  • 00:05:11.246 --> 00:05:17.419
  • And this is what i'm telling you, your money and your stuff
  • 00:05:17.419 --> 00:05:20.122
  • Doesn't define your prosperity.
  • 00:05:20.122 --> 00:05:24.826
  • You're not prosperous because you have stuff.
  • 00:05:28.830 --> 00:05:33.435
  • You're prosperous because of who you have, not what you have.
  • 00:05:33.435 --> 00:05:41.009
  • Yeah, y'all don't hear what i'm saying.
  • 00:05:41.009 --> 00:05:43.578
  • Who you have defines whether or not you're prosperous, not what
  • 00:05:43.578 --> 00:05:48.150
  • You have.
  • 00:05:48.150 --> 00:05:50.685
  • "and he was in the house of his master the egyptian," verse 3,
  • 00:05:50.685 --> 00:05:57.492
  • "and his master," now this is what i like.
  • 00:05:57.492 --> 00:05:59.661
  • "his master saw that the lord was with them."
  • 00:05:59.661 --> 00:06:04.699
  • I wonder how many people when they look at you they see that
  • 00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:07.269
  • God's with you.
  • 00:06:07.269 --> 00:06:10.572
  • We got to change that.
  • 00:06:10.572 --> 00:06:11.907
  • We can't be going around here acting some kind of way, walking
  • 00:06:11.907 --> 00:06:15.577
  • Out of love, got all kinds of attitude and letting your
  • 00:06:15.577 --> 00:06:20.048
  • Emotions control you and think that somebody gonna see that god
  • 00:06:20.048 --> 00:06:24.219
  • Is with you.
  • 00:06:24.219 --> 00:06:25.554
  • They're gonna see the devil is with you.
  • 00:06:25.554 --> 00:06:28.190
  • "and his master saw that the lord was with him."
  • 00:06:28.190 --> 00:06:31.693
  • That's key. that's key.
  • 00:06:31.693 --> 00:06:34.663
  • Because the lord being with you [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:06:34.663 --> 00:06:40.268
  • Is not what you're driving, it's who driving you.
  • 00:06:40.268 --> 00:06:45.807
  • Yeah, y'all don't, you don't--you need to pray for
  • 00:06:45.807 --> 00:06:48.577
  • Me today.
  • 00:06:48.577 --> 00:06:52.781
  • "and his master saw that the lord was with him, and that the
  • 00:06:52.781 --> 00:06:56.685
  • Lord made all that he did to be successful or to prosper in
  • 00:06:56.685 --> 00:07:03.058
  • His hands."
  • 00:07:03.058 --> 00:07:04.392
  • So notice the foundation for success in any area.
  • 00:07:04.392 --> 00:07:09.664
  • I'm not talking, when i say success, i'm not talking about
  • 00:07:09.664 --> 00:07:12.067
  • Your successful defined by your bank account, you're successful
  • 00:07:12.067 --> 00:07:16.705
  • Defined by your material blessings.
  • 00:07:16.705 --> 00:07:19.174
  • But you're successful because the lord is with you, because
  • 00:07:19.174 --> 00:07:21.743
  • Listen, when you got the lord with you, you may not see my
  • 00:07:21.743 --> 00:07:25.080
  • Stuff, you may not see my bank account, but you'll always see
  • 00:07:25.080 --> 00:07:29.351
  • Me making it through because of who's with me.
  • 00:07:29.351 --> 00:07:34.589
  • "and that the lord made all that he did to prosper in his hands."
  • 00:07:37.826 --> 00:07:44.966
  • So i'm showing you the beginning before you read about joseph
  • 00:07:44.966 --> 00:07:48.937
  • Who's the second most powerful man in egypt.
  • 00:07:48.937 --> 00:07:52.807
  • I'm showing you the beginning, i'm showing you the source
  • 00:07:52.807 --> 00:07:55.744
  • Before joseph had the stuff.
  • 00:07:55.744 --> 00:07:57.512
  • I'm showing you the relationship before joseph had all the stuff
  • 00:07:57.512 --> 00:08:02.517
  • He had.
  • 00:08:02.517 --> 00:08:03.885
  • There are too many people in the body of christ that's being
  • 00:08:03.885 --> 00:08:06.688
  • Governed by mammon without a relationship with god.
  • 00:08:06.688 --> 00:08:11.693
  • Because you've made mammon your god.
  • 00:08:11.693 --> 00:08:13.995
  • And mammon is not money.
  • 00:08:13.995 --> 00:08:15.764
  • Mammon is the spirit behind money that says to you that
  • 00:08:15.764 --> 00:08:20.201
  • Money will take care of you and money will provide your need and
  • 00:08:20.201 --> 00:08:23.572
  • Money now is trying to take god's place as the source of the
  • 00:08:23.572 --> 00:08:27.876
  • One who does the things that need to be done in your life.
  • 00:08:27.876 --> 00:08:33.214
  • Verse 4, "and joseph found," what?
  • 00:08:33.214 --> 00:08:38.253
  • "grace in his sight of his master, and he served him: and
  • 00:08:38.253 --> 00:08:44.659
  • He made him overseer over his house and all that he had he put
  • 00:08:44.659 --> 00:08:50.198
  • Into his hands."
  • 00:08:50.198 --> 00:08:52.534
  • Because the lord was with him, the lord was doing the driving.
  • 00:08:52.534 --> 00:08:58.406
  • The lord was with him, the lord was doing the driving.
  • 00:08:58.406 --> 00:09:03.378
  • Now, just for a moment, let's review these two types of
  • 00:09:03.378 --> 00:09:06.548
  • Relationships because this is what we see here.
  • 00:09:06.548 --> 00:09:10.919
  • Most of us as christians have been trained in a transactional
  • 00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:15.557
  • Relationship with god while we ignore a genuine relationship
  • 00:09:15.557 --> 00:09:20.829
  • With god.
  • 00:09:20.829 --> 00:09:22.631
  • In a transactional relationship, expectations are based on a give
  • 00:09:22.631 --> 00:09:28.570
  • And take mindset where you do something to get something
  • 00:09:28.570 --> 00:09:33.742
  • In return.
  • 00:09:33.742 --> 00:09:35.677
  • And we've been trained in our thinking, you got to do this in
  • 00:09:35.677 --> 00:09:38.980
  • Order to get that in return.
  • 00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:41.483
  • That's under the old covenant, that's under the law.
  • 00:09:41.483 --> 00:09:43.618
  • We've been trained that if you want god to be good, you got to
  • 00:09:43.618 --> 00:09:47.489
  • Be good.
  • 00:09:47.489 --> 00:09:48.823
  • In other words, i'm gonna be good, and notice my motivation,
  • 00:09:48.823 --> 00:09:50.925
  • So i can get good.
  • 00:09:50.925 --> 00:09:52.627
  • And so we've cultivated this let's make a deal type of
  • 00:09:52.627 --> 00:09:59.634
  • Relationship with god.
  • 00:09:59.634 --> 00:10:01.603
  • And that's a transactional relationship.
  • 00:10:01.603 --> 00:10:06.007
  • It's more about fulfilling conditions to receive a benefit.
  • 00:10:06.007 --> 00:10:10.578
  • That's transactional.
  • 00:10:10.578 --> 00:10:12.847
  • And that's what we've taught.
  • 00:10:12.847 --> 00:10:14.649
  • That's all we knew at the time.
  • 00:10:14.649 --> 00:10:17.185
  • Fulfill the condition, receive the benefit.
  • 00:10:17.185 --> 00:10:21.256
  • And we preach it in everything.
  • 00:10:21.256 --> 00:10:22.791
  • We preach it in finances, we preach it in our prayer time, we
  • 00:10:22.791 --> 00:10:26.428
  • Preach it in our fellowship time, we preach it you come to
  • 00:10:26.428 --> 00:10:29.364
  • Church and then god will do that for you and it's all a
  • 00:10:29.364 --> 00:10:32.534
  • Transactional relationship.
  • 00:10:32.534 --> 00:10:34.836
  • And i'm telling you, you've got to get away from the
  • 00:10:34.836 --> 00:10:37.072
  • Transactional relationship and you got to--you got to become a
  • 00:10:37.072 --> 00:10:40.275
  • Christian because you're in it for the relationship.
  • 00:10:40.275 --> 00:10:42.844
  • I'm in it, say it, say it, "i'm in it for the relationship."
  • 00:10:42.844 --> 00:10:46.748
  • If god don't do nothing else for you, you got to make your mind
  • 00:10:46.748 --> 00:10:49.718
  • Up, i'm in it for the relationship.
  • 00:10:49.718 --> 00:10:54.155
  • You can't get in this thing because somebody told you what
  • 00:10:54.155 --> 00:10:56.791
  • God is gonna do for you.
  • 00:10:56.791 --> 00:10:58.526
  • And for some of us, god's already done enough for us.
  • 00:10:58.526 --> 00:11:02.797
  • If he don't do nothing else, you ought to just don't get upset
  • 00:11:02.797 --> 00:11:06.768
  • Because this didn't come or that didn't happen or that didn't
  • 00:11:06.768 --> 00:11:10.105
  • Show up and you're wondering what's wrong with you or what's
  • 00:11:10.105 --> 00:11:12.674
  • Wrong with god.
  • 00:11:12.674 --> 00:11:14.042
  • I'm in it for the relationship.
  • 00:11:14.042 --> 00:11:15.376
  • I'm still gonna praise you, i'm still gonna spend time with you.
  • 00:11:15.376 --> 00:11:18.913
  • I'm still gonna witness for you.
  • 00:11:18.913 --> 00:11:20.882
  • I'm still gonna talk about how good you are, if you didn't give
  • 00:11:20.882 --> 00:11:23.918
  • Me the car, if you didn't give me the house, if you didn't give
  • 00:11:23.918 --> 00:11:25.887
  • Me the husband or the wife, i'm gonna still praise you, i'm
  • 00:11:25.887 --> 00:11:28.590
  • Gonna still shout, i'm gonna still--
  • 00:11:28.590 --> 00:11:33.495
  • Until you get there, it ain't real.
  • 00:11:33.495 --> 00:11:40.335
  • You've got the same kind of relationship that the world has
  • 00:11:40.335 --> 00:11:42.871
  • With the spirit of mammon.
  • 00:11:42.871 --> 00:11:45.974
  • Are you following me now?
  • 00:11:45.974 --> 00:11:50.078
  • On the other hand, in a relational relationship,
  • 00:11:50.078 --> 00:11:54.849
  • Expectations are rooted in trust, in love, and the
  • 00:11:54.849 --> 00:12:02.457
  • Understanding of the other person's character.
  • 00:12:02.457 --> 00:12:06.828
  • The understanding of god's character.
  • 00:12:06.828 --> 00:12:08.630
  • I understand god's character.
  • 00:12:08.630 --> 00:12:10.765
  • I trust him because i know his character.
  • 00:12:10.765 --> 00:12:13.802
  • I love him because i know his character.
  • 00:12:13.802 --> 00:12:16.271
  • So i don't have to be good to get good.
  • 00:12:16.271 --> 00:12:20.708
  • I know god is good, so out of his character good is gonna flow
  • 00:12:20.708 --> 00:12:24.746
  • My way without me having to be good.
  • 00:12:24.746 --> 00:12:27.248
  • I'm not telling you to be bad, but i'm saying that your good
  • 00:12:27.248 --> 00:12:31.052
  • Won't purchase god's good.
  • 00:12:31.052 --> 00:12:35.089
  • I'm saying god is good without your good, and because we know
  • 00:12:35.089 --> 00:12:40.261
  • God has a character of good, then we trust him, glory to god,
  • 00:12:40.261 --> 00:12:45.200
  • And we love him and goodness just flows automatically 'cause
  • 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:49.070
  • He's good.
  • 00:12:49.070 --> 00:12:51.840
  • It's not this deal of, "well, you know you got to be good in
  • 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:56.444
  • Order for god to be good to you."
  • 00:12:56.444 --> 00:12:58.413
  • No, no, god is good.
  • 00:12:58.413 --> 00:13:01.783
  • God is good.
  • 00:13:01.783 --> 00:13:03.117
  • And what you don't understand is he gonna show goodness to you.
  • 00:13:03.117 --> 00:13:06.754
  • "yeah, but brother dollar don't we need to be good."
  • 00:13:06.754 --> 00:13:08.656
  • Now, the bible says that god will show goodness to you to
  • 00:13:08.656 --> 00:13:12.994
  • Cause you to change your mind, to cause you to repent.
  • 00:13:12.994 --> 00:13:16.898
  • You can't keep acting foolish having experienced the goodness
  • 00:13:16.898 --> 00:13:21.102
  • Of god that came to you and you know you didn't deserve it, but
  • 00:13:21.102 --> 00:13:24.339
  • He did it anyway.
  • 00:13:24.339 --> 00:13:27.442
  • So i don't walk around here looking at my mailbox every day.
  • 00:13:31.613 --> 00:13:35.817
  • Whatever you do, god, i appreciate it, but i'm in it for
  • 00:13:35.817 --> 00:13:39.454
  • The relationship.
  • 00:13:39.454 --> 00:13:41.589
  • I'm in it so i can talk to you.
  • 00:13:41.589 --> 00:13:43.191
  • I'm in it so i can walk in your presence.
  • 00:13:43.191 --> 00:13:45.660
  • I'm in it, lord, because you've done so much for me.
  • 00:13:45.660 --> 00:13:48.496
  • I'm in it, lord, because you loved me before i was even
  • 00:13:48.496 --> 00:13:51.065
  • Formed into a fetus.
  • 00:13:51.065 --> 00:13:52.433
  • I'm in it lord because you picked me up out of a ditch when
  • 00:13:52.433 --> 00:13:55.436
  • I know i didn't deserve to be picked up out of a ditch, but
  • 00:13:55.436 --> 00:13:58.873
  • You did it anyway.
  • 00:13:58.873 --> 00:14:00.208
  • I'm in it because i know you love me, i trust you and look at
  • 00:14:00.208 --> 00:14:04.312
  • Your character.
  • 00:14:04.312 --> 00:14:06.314
  • You don't need me to massage you by my performance to try to get
  • 00:14:06.314 --> 00:14:11.019
  • Anything from you.
  • 00:14:11.019 --> 00:14:12.420
  • You've already given me everything.
  • 00:14:12.420 --> 00:14:16.524
  • I gave you, romans 8:32, i gave you my son.
  • 00:14:16.524 --> 00:14:21.596
  • Is everybody with me?
  • 00:14:25.133 --> 00:14:28.536
  • All right, so in the relational relationship it's rooted in
  • 00:14:28.536 --> 00:14:33.574
  • Trust and love and the understanding of
  • 00:14:33.574 --> 00:14:36.144
  • God's character.
  • 00:14:36.144 --> 00:14:37.478
  • You expect good because you know the person is good and you know
  • 00:14:37.478 --> 00:14:41.316
  • That person loves you, not because you've earned it.
  • 00:14:41.316 --> 00:14:45.987
  • It's a more secure, this relational relationship is a
  • 00:14:45.987 --> 00:14:48.990
  • More secure grace-filled kind of relationship.
  • 00:14:48.990 --> 00:14:52.994
  • So you can still have expectations.
  • 00:14:52.994 --> 00:14:54.829
  • Now, somebody says, "well, should we not expect?"
  • 00:14:54.829 --> 00:14:57.231
  • No, no, you should still have expectations from
  • 00:14:57.231 --> 00:14:59.334
  • Your relationship.
  • 00:14:59.334 --> 00:15:00.969
  • But it's not gonna be like a transactional expectation.
  • 00:15:00.969 --> 00:15:04.405
  • You expect in a relational relationship, it's just that
  • 00:15:04.405 --> 00:15:09.844
  • Those expectations are rooted in trust.
  • 00:15:09.844 --> 00:15:15.283
  • I trust god's goodness.
  • 00:15:15.283 --> 00:15:18.786
  • I trust that his character, it's rooted in trust, it's rooted in
  • 00:15:18.786 --> 00:15:23.725
  • Love rather than a sense of earning or deserving.
  • 00:15:23.725 --> 00:15:27.695
  • So i'm expecting from god, not because i have a sense of i
  • 00:15:27.695 --> 00:15:30.898
  • Earned it, i deserved it.
  • 00:15:30.898 --> 00:15:32.667
  • I'm expecting from god not because, "well, lord you know i
  • 00:15:32.667 --> 00:15:35.269
  • Gave $100 today so i'm expecting a 100-fold."
  • 00:15:35.269 --> 00:15:38.406
  • No, i'm not expecting from god out of a sense of earning it or
  • 00:15:38.406 --> 00:15:42.677
  • Deserving it.
  • 00:15:42.677 --> 00:15:44.078
  • My expectation from god in a relational relationship is
  • 00:15:44.078 --> 00:15:47.081
  • Rooted in i trust you lord, and i love you lord, i know
  • 00:15:47.081 --> 00:15:50.651
  • You lord.
  • 00:15:50.651 --> 00:15:52.687
  • Does everybody understand the difference?
  • 00:15:52.687 --> 00:15:55.089
  • So you can definitely expect good from god knowing that his
  • 00:15:55.089 --> 00:15:58.793
  • Love for you is unconditional.
  • 00:15:58.793 --> 00:16:03.331
  • It's an amazing dynamic here.
  • 00:16:03.331 --> 00:16:06.167
  • For example, it's like being in a loving family where you
  • 00:16:06.167 --> 00:16:09.303
  • Naturally receive love and you receive care.
  • 00:16:09.303 --> 00:16:13.875
  • So it's not about striving for that love in that family, but
  • 00:16:13.875 --> 00:16:18.913
  • It's just knowing that it comes with the relationship.
  • 00:16:18.913 --> 00:16:23.684
  • There's certain things that come with the relationship.
  • 00:16:23.684 --> 00:16:28.256
  • And when you have a relationship with god, certain things come
  • 00:16:28.256 --> 00:16:32.393
  • With the relationship.
  • 00:16:32.393 --> 00:16:33.761
  • The bible says, "they that know their god shall do exploits."
  • 00:16:33.761 --> 00:16:37.265
  • That comes with the relationship.
  • 00:16:37.265 --> 00:16:40.535
  • Glory to god.
  • 00:16:40.535 --> 00:16:41.869
  • It doesn't come from a sense of earning.
  • 00:16:41.869 --> 00:16:43.771
  • It doesn't come from the sense that you owe me 'cause i
  • 00:16:43.771 --> 00:16:46.974
  • Did this.
  • 00:16:46.974 --> 00:16:48.309
  • It doesn't come because i prayed for three hours, so now you got
  • 00:16:48.309 --> 00:16:51.212
  • To do this.
  • 00:16:51.212 --> 00:16:52.547
  • No, it doesn't come from, "well, lord you know i prayed and
  • 00:16:52.547 --> 00:16:55.249
  • I fasted.
  • 00:16:55.249 --> 00:16:56.584
  • Now, you got to heal my body."
  • 00:16:56.584 --> 00:16:58.453
  • No no no no no no no no no.
  • 00:16:58.453 --> 00:16:59.821
  • It doesn't come from a sense of you earned it and you
  • 00:16:59.821 --> 00:17:02.123
  • Expected it.
  • 00:17:02.123 --> 00:17:03.491
  • It comes from the fact that i am in a relationship with you, i
  • 00:17:03.491 --> 00:17:06.494
  • Know you, i love you, and if i don't get healed, praise god.
  • 00:17:06.494 --> 00:17:11.365
  • If i don't get healed, i'm not gonna leave you.
  • 00:17:11.365 --> 00:17:14.402
  • I'm not gonna get mad at you.
  • 00:17:14.402 --> 00:17:15.803
  • Think about it, when you get mad at god, you're mad at the only
  • 00:17:15.803 --> 00:17:18.139
  • One that can help you.
  • 00:17:18.139 --> 00:17:21.509
  • When i was going through those three physical attacks, cancer,
  • 00:17:25.713 --> 00:17:30.751
  • Blood clots, and shingles at the one time, i was just
  • 00:17:30.751 --> 00:17:36.491
  • Praising god.
  • 00:17:36.491 --> 00:17:37.825
  • I don't even recall that one time begging him, lord, i just i
  • 00:17:37.825 --> 00:17:40.928
  • Thank him that i'm healed.
  • 00:17:40.928 --> 00:17:43.197
  • Oh my goodness, you want me to go there?
  • 00:17:43.197 --> 00:17:44.732
  • He said, "yeah, explain it."
  • 00:17:44.732 --> 00:17:46.134
  • There are certain things that jesus finished.
  • 00:17:49.737 --> 00:17:54.575
  • You've been made righteous.
  • 00:17:54.575 --> 00:17:56.844
  • You've been redeemed.
  • 00:17:56.844 --> 00:17:59.680
  • You are perfect in jesus.
  • 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:04.619
  • You are sanctified.
  • 00:18:04.619 --> 00:18:06.454
  • You are holy.
  • 00:18:06.454 --> 00:18:08.422
  • You are prosperous.
  • 00:18:08.422 --> 00:18:09.790
  • I got to add that too.
  • 00:18:09.790 --> 00:18:11.993
  • It's you've been blessed with all spiritual blessings in
  • 00:18:11.993 --> 00:18:13.828
  • Heavenly places.
  • 00:18:13.828 --> 00:18:15.196
  • Jesus has done it all.
  • 00:18:15.196 --> 00:18:16.931
  • It is finished.
  • 00:18:16.931 --> 00:18:20.001
  • All right, so here's the deal.
  • 00:18:20.001 --> 00:18:22.603
  • You got to get in alignment with what is finished.
  • 00:18:22.603 --> 00:18:30.044
  • You don't come up with a plan to finish what is finished.
  • 00:18:30.044 --> 00:18:37.818
  • Healing is not something you come up with a strategy to get.
  • 00:18:40.555 --> 00:18:45.960
  • Why?
  • 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:47.295
  • 'cause it's been gotten.
  • 00:18:47.295 --> 00:18:50.131
  • It's done.
  • 00:18:50.131 --> 00:18:52.767
  • Righteousness is not something you come up, "well, i'm gonna do
  • 00:18:52.767 --> 00:18:55.236
  • These ten things and then i'm gonna achieve righteousness."
  • 00:18:55.236 --> 00:18:58.839
  • It's finished.
  • 00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:01.809
  • You got to believe that it's finished.
  • 00:19:01.809 --> 00:19:04.111
  • How does that work?
  • 00:19:04.111 --> 00:19:05.446
  • You got to get in line with what's done and quit trying to
  • 00:19:05.446 --> 00:19:11.052
  • Get it done.
  • 00:19:11.052 --> 00:19:13.421
  • It's done.
  • 00:19:13.421 --> 00:19:15.289
  • And prosperity is done.
  • 00:19:15.289 --> 00:19:17.992
  • Oh lord, are you taking me here, i got to go, i need to step up
  • 00:19:17.992 --> 00:19:20.895
  • Here, now i need.
  • 00:19:20.895 --> 00:19:24.532
  • This is gonna sound, i mean, you know...
  • 00:19:24.532 --> 00:19:31.239
  • Prosperity is not something i sow for.
  • 00:19:35.109 --> 00:19:41.849
  • [congregation applauding]
  • 00:19:43.751 --> 00:19:46.787
  • Creflo: just like healing is not something i sow for.
  • 00:19:46.787 --> 00:19:53.127
  • Just like righteousness is not something i sow for.
  • 00:19:53.127 --> 00:19:58.766
  • It is something that has already been finished that i receive,
  • 00:19:58.766 --> 00:20:05.439
  • That i embrace, and that i stay in alignment with.
  • 00:20:05.439 --> 00:20:14.382
  • So what we giving?
  • 00:20:14.382 --> 00:20:15.750
  • My giving is an expression of my trust and confidence of what's
  • 00:20:15.750 --> 00:20:22.523
  • Already finished.
  • 00:20:22.523 --> 00:20:25.393
  • I'm not trying to do all these things to finish it.
  • 00:20:25.393 --> 00:20:28.329
  • I am giving from the position of finished.
  • 00:20:28.329 --> 00:20:34.935
  • I am living right from the position of righteousness.
  • 00:20:34.935 --> 00:20:40.174
  • I'm not trying to make it happen.
  • 00:20:40.174 --> 00:20:42.610
  • So religion is giving you a lot of motion with deception
  • 00:20:42.610 --> 00:20:49.050
  • Thinking that your motion can complete or accomplish or finish
  • 00:20:49.050 --> 00:20:54.689
  • Something that jesus says is already finished.
  • 00:20:54.689 --> 00:20:56.924
  • So why am i sowing?
  • 00:21:00.261 --> 00:21:01.696
  • Why do i ever give?
  • 00:21:01.696 --> 00:21:03.731
  • Watch this.
  • 00:21:03.731 --> 00:21:05.599
  • Because i'm convinced that he is capable of caring for me and
  • 00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:11.872
  • Since i trust that he cares for me, i can enhance my intimacy
  • 00:21:11.872 --> 00:21:17.411
  • And my relationship with him by being generous in my giving
  • 00:21:17.411 --> 00:21:22.183
  • Because god wants to bless me to bless somebody else and i can be
  • 00:21:22.183 --> 00:21:26.087
  • Used to bless somebody else because he's already taking care
  • 00:21:26.087 --> 00:21:30.091
  • Of me.
  • 00:21:30.091 --> 00:21:31.859
  • So prosperity like righteousness is finished.
  • 00:21:35.763 --> 00:21:40.067
  • All right, now watch this.
  • 00:21:40.067 --> 00:21:42.036
  • So what if something is not looking right in
  • 00:21:42.036 --> 00:21:46.540
  • My righteousness?
  • 00:21:46.540 --> 00:21:48.275
  • You don't come up with something to try to get it done.
  • 00:21:48.275 --> 00:21:51.545
  • It's already done.
  • 00:21:51.545 --> 00:21:52.913
  • Remember what i said.
  • 00:21:52.913 --> 00:21:54.715
  • Anytime something ain't working, the storm you've just endured
  • 00:21:54.715 --> 00:21:58.953
  • Knocked your satellite offline.
  • 00:21:58.953 --> 00:22:02.590
  • Everything's fine.
  • 00:22:02.590 --> 00:22:03.958
  • All you got to do is get back in alignment.
  • 00:22:03.958 --> 00:22:07.495
  • No, no, you didn't hear what i just said.
  • 00:22:07.495 --> 00:22:09.096
  • Hey, if anything is wrong in your life, the storm that you
  • 00:22:09.096 --> 00:22:15.202
  • Just went through must have blew your satellite out of line.
  • 00:22:15.202 --> 00:22:21.375
  • So christian life is all about gaining alignment, maintaining
  • 00:22:21.375 --> 00:22:27.148
  • Alignment and if something were to knock it out of alignment,
  • 00:22:27.148 --> 00:22:31.652
  • You don't panic.
  • 00:22:31.652 --> 00:22:33.254
  • You just labor to rest in what's finished.
  • 00:22:33.254 --> 00:22:38.092
  • What does labor look like?
  • 00:22:38.092 --> 00:22:40.828
  • Labor looks like this.
  • 00:22:40.828 --> 00:22:42.730
  • I'm gonna study the word where it tells me that i'm
  • 00:22:42.730 --> 00:22:45.800
  • Already righteous.
  • 00:22:45.800 --> 00:22:47.234
  • I'm gonna praise god and get an alignment.
  • 00:22:47.234 --> 00:22:50.271
  • I'm gonna put my favorite song on to get in alignment.
  • 00:22:50.271 --> 00:22:52.940
  • I'm gonna meditate on a word to get in alignment.
  • 00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:55.543
  • All of those efforts are not to produce what jesus has already
  • 00:22:55.543 --> 00:23:01.415
  • Produced, but all of those efforts are to just get you back
  • 00:23:01.415 --> 00:23:04.618
  • In alignment so you can pick the signal back up.
  • 00:23:04.618 --> 00:23:08.722
  • When your television is not picking up the station, ain't
  • 00:23:08.722 --> 00:23:12.059
  • Nothing wrong with what's coming from space satellite and ain't
  • 00:23:12.059 --> 00:23:15.663
  • Nothing wrong with your tv.
  • 00:23:15.663 --> 00:23:17.164
  • Somebody just needs to climb on the roof and make
  • 00:23:17.164 --> 00:23:19.867
  • The adjustment.
  • 00:23:19.867 --> 00:23:22.002
  • Life is about, hey man, life is about making the adjustment.
  • 00:23:22.002 --> 00:23:30.478
  • Life is about obviously i'm out of line, ain't nothing wrong.
  • 00:23:30.478 --> 00:23:37.485
  • God don't hate me.
  • 00:23:37.485 --> 00:23:38.953
  • God ain't holding nothing against me.
  • 00:23:38.953 --> 00:23:40.488
  • God's not condemning me.
  • 00:23:40.488 --> 00:23:42.523
  • I just need to labor to rest in what's finished.
  • 00:23:42.523 --> 00:23:50.531
  • He didn't say labor to prosper, he didn't say labor to be
  • 00:23:50.531 --> 00:23:53.567
  • Righteous, he didn't say labor to be sanctified.
  • 00:23:53.567 --> 00:23:56.670
  • Jesus already labored for all that done.
  • 00:23:56.670 --> 00:23:59.673
  • You can't do none of that.
  • 00:23:59.673 --> 00:24:01.108
  • Only jesus could do that.
  • 00:24:01.108 --> 00:24:02.676
  • So i'm gonna rest in what jesus has done and my labor is going
  • 00:24:02.676 --> 00:24:07.314
  • To be my effort to get things adjusted back in line with what
  • 00:24:07.314 --> 00:24:14.355
  • Is already finished.
  • 00:24:14.355 --> 00:24:16.690
  • Is everybody on the bus?
  • 00:24:16.690 --> 00:24:20.294
  • Some of y'all on the bus, some of y'all looking at me like.
  • 00:24:18.225 --> 00:24:23.097
