- Creflo: now, god loves you whether you are transformed
- 00:01:45.552 --> 00:01:49.189
- Or not.
- 00:01:49.189 --> 00:01:52.225
- God loves you whether you are changed or not.
- 00:01:52.225 --> 00:01:56.563
- That's something i need you to understand.
- 00:01:56.563 --> 00:01:58.431
- Whether you're transformed or not, god loves you.
- 00:01:58.431 --> 00:02:01.434
- Whether you have changed or not, god loves you.
- 00:02:01.434 --> 00:02:04.103
- I believe that this love will give you the strength you need
- 00:02:04.103 --> 00:02:07.240
- To be transformed.
- 00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:09.275
- I believe knowing that god loves you, whether you have been
- 00:02:09.275 --> 00:02:13.613
- Transformed or not, i believe that you understanding that love
- 00:02:13.613 --> 00:02:17.550
- Is actually what's gonna give you the strength to be changed.
- 00:02:17.550 --> 00:02:21.854
- Something happens when you know that you're loved.
- 00:02:21.854 --> 00:02:25.058
- Something happens when you can receive that god loves you and
- 00:02:25.058 --> 00:02:28.895
- You didn't have to do anything to earn his love, or you didn't
- 00:02:28.895 --> 00:02:32.498
- Have to do anything to deserve his love.
- 00:02:32.498 --> 00:02:34.500
- But there's something that happens when you realize that i
- 00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:37.270
- Am highly loved by god that strengthens your life for
- 00:02:37.270 --> 00:02:42.875
- Transformation, that strengthens your life for change.
- 00:02:42.875 --> 00:02:47.480
- Now, he may not approve of what you're doing, but he still loves
- 00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:50.950
- You, okay?
- 00:02:50.950 --> 00:02:52.285
- So don't get that mixed up, now.
- 00:02:52.285 --> 00:02:54.420
- "well, god loves me."
- 00:02:54.420 --> 00:02:55.755
- God loves me doesn't say, "god approves of what i'm
- 00:02:55.755 --> 00:02:58.658
- Doing," okay?
- 00:02:58.658 --> 00:03:00.126
- He loves you, all right, and he wants that love to strengthen
- 00:03:00.126 --> 00:03:04.731
- You for transformation, for changed, but please don't mix
- 00:03:04.731 --> 00:03:09.369
- That up to say, "well, he may not--" you know, that he does
- 00:03:09.369 --> 00:03:15.675
- Not approve of what you're doing, but he still loves you.
- 00:03:15.675 --> 00:03:19.245
- So look at 1 corinthians, chapter 1 and 30.
- 00:03:19.245 --> 00:03:23.116
- He says--and let's read verse 30 out loud together, if you will,
- 00:03:23.116 --> 00:03:25.985
- In king james--he says, "but of him are you in christ jesus,
- 00:03:25.985 --> 00:03:30.089
- Who of god is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and
- 00:03:30.089 --> 00:03:35.795
- Sanctification, and redemption."
- 00:03:35.795 --> 00:03:39.565
- And so, now notice what the scripture says, that "jesus
- 00:03:39.565 --> 00:03:42.669
- Christ was made unto us wisdom."
- 00:03:42.669 --> 00:03:45.672
- Jesus was made wisdom, jesus was made righteousness, jesus was
- 00:03:45.672 --> 00:03:50.043
- Made sanctification.
- 00:03:50.043 --> 00:03:51.377
- Interesting here, this greek word for sanctification is the
- 00:03:51.377 --> 00:03:54.914
- Same greek word for holiness, okay?
- 00:03:54.914 --> 00:03:57.684
- So sanctification, or holiness, jesus was made for us holiness,
- 00:03:57.684 --> 00:04:01.621
- He was made for us sanctification, and he was made
- 00:04:01.621 --> 00:04:04.457
- For us redemption.
- 00:04:04.457 --> 00:04:06.793
- And so, once you begin to understand that i am in christ
- 00:04:06.793 --> 00:04:11.898
- And whatever he has made for me, that's what what i claim, that's
- 00:04:11.898 --> 00:04:16.302
- What i hold to.
- 00:04:16.302 --> 00:04:17.637
- So jesus has made unto us wisdom, so therefore i declare i
- 00:04:17.637 --> 00:04:21.474
- Have wisdom.
- 00:04:21.474 --> 00:04:22.809
- Say, "i have wisdom."
- 00:04:22.809 --> 00:04:24.143
- He has been made unto us righteousness.
- 00:04:24.143 --> 00:04:26.312
- Say out loud, "i am righteous."
- 00:04:26.312 --> 00:04:29.615
- He has been made unto us sanctification.
- 00:04:29.615 --> 00:04:32.051
- Say, "i am sanctified."
- 00:04:32.051 --> 00:04:34.787
- He has been made unto us holiness, say, "i am holy."
- 00:04:34.787 --> 00:04:38.691
- And he has been made unto us redemption, say, "i
- 00:04:38.691 --> 00:04:41.394
- Am redeemed."
- 00:04:41.394 --> 00:04:43.329
- See, once you realize that he's been made these things for you,
- 00:04:43.329 --> 00:04:47.467
- Now you got to start realizing, well, he was made that for me,
- 00:04:47.467 --> 00:04:52.872
- So i am that.
- 00:04:52.872 --> 00:04:54.407
- I am that before you even see that.
- 00:04:54.407 --> 00:04:57.910
- I am righteous because he was made unto me to be righteous.
- 00:04:57.910 --> 00:05:02.515
- I claim my righteousness right now.
- 00:05:02.515 --> 00:05:05.852
- And by you grabbing hold of what he's been made for you right
- 00:05:05.852 --> 00:05:09.055
- Now, then there's something that begins to transform.
- 00:05:09.055 --> 00:05:12.725
- You start changing into that.
- 00:05:12.725 --> 00:05:15.595
- You now say, "i am the righteousness of god," and if
- 00:05:15.595 --> 00:05:18.464
- You hold on to that and don't let anything or anybody change
- 00:05:18.464 --> 00:05:21.834
- That within you, you begin to transform into that which you're
- 00:05:21.834 --> 00:05:25.071
- Holding on.
- 00:05:25.071 --> 00:05:26.706
- All right, you have the gall, you have the nerve to get up
- 00:05:26.706 --> 00:05:30.042
- After you messed up, or missed the mark somewhere, or stumbled,
- 00:05:30.042 --> 00:05:34.647
- Or whatever you wanna call it, and declare that you are still
- 00:05:34.647 --> 00:05:38.451
- What jesus was made for you.
- 00:05:38.451 --> 00:05:40.787
- "i am the righteousness of god."
- 00:05:40.787 --> 00:05:44.157
- So now once you have the person, once you have the person, jesus
- 00:05:44.157 --> 00:05:48.594
- Christ, you have all things that are in christ.
- 00:05:48.594 --> 00:05:54.133
- So jesus is literally your everything.
- 00:05:54.133 --> 00:05:56.869
- Once you have jesus, you have righteousness.
- 00:05:56.869 --> 00:05:59.372
- Once you have jesus, you have redemption.
- 00:05:59.372 --> 00:06:01.307
- When you once you have jesus, you are redeemed.
- 00:06:01.307 --> 00:06:04.143
- Once you have jesus, you are holy.
- 00:06:04.143 --> 00:06:06.779
- See, it's not based on what you are, it's based on what he is,
- 00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:13.186
- And what he is determines who you are.
- 00:06:13.186 --> 00:06:16.255
- But you gotta realize that, you gotta claim that.
- 00:06:16.255 --> 00:06:18.324
- "i am righteous now because of jesus, not because of me.
- 00:06:18.324 --> 00:06:22.195
- I am not righteous because i do right.
- 00:06:22.195 --> 00:06:25.097
- I'm righteous because jesus is my righteousness, and he was
- 00:06:25.097 --> 00:06:28.401
- Made my righteousness."
- 00:06:28.401 --> 00:06:29.735
- And so, you gotta lay hold of that first.
- 00:06:29.735 --> 00:06:32.004
- You gotta realize that first.
- 00:06:32.004 --> 00:06:34.240
- Now, what religion tells you is opposite.
- 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.142
- The religion says, "you can't say you're righteous until you
- 00:06:36.142 --> 00:06:38.611
- Act righteous and do righteous."
- 00:06:38.611 --> 00:06:40.246
- No, what god is saying is, "i'm doing it another way.
- 00:06:40.246 --> 00:06:43.449
- You go ahead and receive that you're righteous, and then i am
- 00:06:43.449 --> 00:06:47.220
- Going to be able to change your behavior, change your heart, and
- 00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:51.757
- See you transform."
- 00:06:51.757 --> 00:06:53.392
- See, the other way around is you trying to do that.
- 00:06:53.392 --> 00:06:56.462
- "i can't say i'm righteous until i start doing right."
- 00:06:56.462 --> 00:06:59.499
- And he says, "i dare you to say you're righteous when you know
- 00:06:59.499 --> 00:07:02.101
- You ain't doing right."
- 00:07:02.101 --> 00:07:03.436
- And he says, "that's when i'm gonna come in and cause all of
- 00:07:03.436 --> 00:07:06.305
- That righteous stuff to happen to you that ain't happening to
- 00:07:06.305 --> 00:07:08.875
- You right now, but i just need you to go ahead and receive
- 00:07:08.875 --> 00:07:12.178
- It first."
- 00:07:12.178 --> 00:07:14.347
- You follow what i'm saying, here?
- 00:07:14.347 --> 00:07:16.282
- All right, and so then we go to romans 8:32 in the king james
- 00:07:16.282 --> 00:07:20.453
- And then the mirror, romans 8:32, and he says, "he that
- 00:07:20.453 --> 00:07:24.824
- Spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how
- 00:07:24.824 --> 00:07:29.395
- Shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
- 00:07:29.395 --> 00:07:32.465
- So, he didn't spare jesus where our lives were concerned.
- 00:07:32.465 --> 00:07:36.035
- He gave his son to mankind.
- 00:07:36.035 --> 00:07:39.572
- And by by giving us jesus, he gave us everything.
- 00:07:39.572 --> 00:07:45.011
- 'cause everything we need or desire or want is in jesus.
- 00:07:45.011 --> 00:07:48.414
- Say this out loud, "jesus is my everything."
- 00:07:48.414 --> 00:07:52.118
- So once you receive jesus, you've received everything.
- 00:07:52.118 --> 00:07:55.087
- Look at this in the mirror, i love the way he says this.
- 00:07:55.087 --> 00:07:57.490
- He says, "the gift of his son is the irrefutable evidence of
- 00:07:57.490 --> 00:08:02.662
- God's heart towards us.
- 00:08:02.662 --> 00:08:04.864
- He held nothing in reserve; but freely gave everything we could
- 00:08:04.864 --> 00:08:11.003
- Ever wish to have; this is what our joint sonship looks like."
- 00:08:11.003 --> 00:08:16.542
- And so, the day you make jesus the lord of your life, whether
- 00:08:16.542 --> 00:08:20.646
- You realize it or not, everything that you'll ever pray
- 00:08:20.646 --> 00:08:24.050
- For, ever need or want or desire, it's in jesus, okay?
- 00:08:24.050 --> 00:08:29.188
- That's why i don't understand why we don't hear a lot about
- 00:08:29.188 --> 00:08:31.223
- Jesus when we go to church, 'cause jesus is my everything.
- 00:08:31.223 --> 00:08:35.094
- Say, "jesus is my everything."
- 00:08:35.094 --> 00:08:38.998
- So, holiness does not depend on human impact or conduct.
- 00:08:38.998 --> 00:08:45.204
- Righteousness does not depend on human impact or conduct.
- 00:08:45.204 --> 00:08:50.610
- Redemption does not depend upon human input or conduct.
- 00:08:50.610 --> 00:08:56.415
- Your righteousness and your holiness is in christ.
- 00:08:56.415 --> 00:09:01.287
- True holiness looks to christ.
- 00:09:01.287 --> 00:09:05.558
- True righteousness looks to christ.
- 00:09:05.558 --> 00:09:08.661
- God's way of deliverance is to take your eyes off yourself and
- 00:09:08.661 --> 00:09:15.301
- To get it onto jesus.
- 00:09:15.301 --> 00:09:17.370
- That's how he's gonna deliver you.
- 00:09:17.370 --> 00:09:19.005
- Get your eyes off you, get your eyes off your effort, get your
- 00:09:19.005 --> 00:09:24.443
- Eyes off your performance, get your eyes on jesus, and that's
- 00:09:24.443 --> 00:09:29.882
- How he plans on delivering us.
- 00:09:29.882 --> 00:09:32.485
- See, everything in our lives right now, especially in today's
- 00:09:32.485 --> 00:09:36.656
- World, we have our eyes on us.
- 00:09:36.656 --> 00:09:39.792
- What i can do, how i can do it, my willpower, my plan, my
- 00:09:39.792 --> 00:09:45.297
- Education, and still, after 20, 30, 40 years, you're in the same
- 00:09:45.297 --> 00:09:50.036
- Bondage, why?
- 00:09:50.036 --> 00:09:51.671
- Because you keep looking at yourself for your deliverance.
- 00:09:51.671 --> 00:09:56.776
- You keep looking at your plans for your deliverance.
- 00:09:56.776 --> 00:10:00.513
- Ladies and gentlemen, if we could deliver ourselves, jesus
- 00:10:00.513 --> 00:10:03.883
- Would have never come and to die on that cross if we could have
- 00:10:03.883 --> 00:10:07.219
- Did it for ourselves.
- 00:10:07.219 --> 00:10:08.854
- The blood would have not been shed, none of that stuff we
- 00:10:08.854 --> 00:10:12.158
- Celebrate on easter had to take place if we could
- 00:10:12.158 --> 00:10:15.661
- Deliver ourselves.
- 00:10:15.661 --> 00:10:17.263
- Here's the truth, you can't do it!
- 00:10:17.263 --> 00:10:22.334
- You can't do it!
- 00:10:22.334 --> 00:10:24.870
- And some of you say, "well, i am doing it," yeah, for right now,
- 00:10:24.870 --> 00:10:28.607
- But what's gonna happen tomorrow?
- 00:10:28.607 --> 00:10:31.343
- You can't do it!
- 00:10:31.343 --> 00:10:32.678
- So let's submit ourselves to the only one who can deliver us.
- 00:10:32.678 --> 00:10:37.416
- And how do we see deliverance take place in our lives?
- 00:10:37.416 --> 00:10:40.119
- We get our eyes off ourselves, we get our eyes on jesus.
- 00:10:40.119 --> 00:10:43.723
- Numbers 21, i'm not gonna go there, but numbers 21, verses 5
- 00:10:43.723 --> 00:10:47.626
- Through 9 is the story of how israel was snake-bitten, and all
- 00:10:47.626 --> 00:10:53.032
- Of the pain in the snake bites, and moses was instructed to take
- 00:10:53.032 --> 00:10:57.269
- A stick and put this image of a snake on the stick, and he says,
- 00:10:57.269 --> 00:11:00.539
- Get your eyes off yourself.
- 00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:02.174
- Look at that image on the pole and you'll be healed.
- 00:11:02.174 --> 00:11:05.845
- And once they got their eyes off themselves and looked at that
- 00:11:05.845 --> 00:11:08.447
- Image on the pole, they were healed.
- 00:11:08.447 --> 00:11:10.716
- That's the key to deliverance.
- 00:11:10.716 --> 00:11:12.251
- Getting your eyes off yourself and start looking on the image
- 00:11:12.251 --> 00:11:16.322
- On that cross.
- 00:11:16.322 --> 00:11:17.690
- Start looking at jesus christ, and you will be healed.
- 00:11:17.690 --> 00:11:22.161
- And so, holiness does not consist of our feelings.
- 00:11:22.161 --> 00:11:26.565
- Holiness doesn't consist of our experiences.
- 00:11:26.565 --> 00:11:30.536
- Holiness consists of beholding christ.
- 00:11:30.536 --> 00:11:34.173
- So the first key to supernatural change is beholding christ.
- 00:11:34.173 --> 00:11:41.080
- I'm talking just by beholding, your transformation can start in
- 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.485
- Your life.
- 00:11:46.485 --> 00:11:48.354
- We cannot change ourselves by our efforts.
- 00:11:48.354 --> 00:11:53.626
- Let me say that again, we cannot change ourselves by our efforts.
- 00:11:53.626 --> 00:11:58.597
- The law of moses cannot produce holiness, only christ can
- 00:11:58.597 --> 00:12:05.004
- Produce holiness.
- 00:12:05.004 --> 00:12:06.872
- The law cannot produce righteousness, only christ can
- 00:12:06.872 --> 00:12:10.609
- Produce righteousness.
- 00:12:10.609 --> 00:12:11.944
- Grace gives to men holiness and righteousness, and we are still
- 00:12:11.944 --> 00:12:16.715
- Trying to--religion says you have to earn holiness by
- 00:12:16.715 --> 00:12:21.453
- Developing holy behavior.
- 00:12:21.453 --> 00:12:23.389
- You've got to earn righteousness by starting to do right.
- 00:12:23.389 --> 00:12:28.627
- No, that's by the law.
- 00:12:28.627 --> 00:12:31.063
- Grace gives to men holiness, grace gives to
- 00:12:31.063 --> 00:12:34.233
- Men righteousness.
- 00:12:34.233 --> 00:12:36.335
- The law cannot produce holiness.
- 00:12:36.335 --> 00:12:40.105
- The law cannot produce righteousness.
- 00:12:40.105 --> 00:12:43.175
- The bible says that there are none righteous under the law.
- 00:12:43.175 --> 00:12:46.645
- No, not one.
- 00:12:46.645 --> 00:12:48.280
- But when jesus showed up, who is our everything, grace now gives
- 00:12:48.280 --> 00:12:53.452
- To men holiness and righteousness.
- 00:12:53.452 --> 00:12:56.088
- So, how can we change or be transformed, then?
- 00:12:56.088 --> 00:13:00.593
- You said the first key was beholding.
- 00:13:00.593 --> 00:13:02.695
- How does that work?
- 00:13:02.695 --> 00:13:04.263
- Look at 2 corinthians chapter 3 and verse 18.
- 00:13:04.263 --> 00:13:08.801
- 2 corinthians chapter 3 and verse 18.
- 00:13:08.801 --> 00:13:13.005
- How can i see transformation in my life, okay?
- 00:13:13.005 --> 00:13:17.443
- And you know all the stuff that's represented just in here.
- 00:13:17.443 --> 00:13:20.946
- How can i see transformation in my life?
- 00:13:20.946 --> 00:13:22.581
- The habits, the addictions, the secret sins.
- 00:13:22.581 --> 00:13:26.919
- How can i see transformation in my life?
- 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.756
- Because the only thing that church does is shame you, blame
- 00:13:30.756 --> 00:13:34.026
- You, and put guilt on you, and this--and somehow, the church
- 00:13:34.026 --> 00:13:39.031
- Thinks if i can shame you, blame you, cause you to feel guilty,
- 00:13:39.031 --> 00:13:43.535
- And then put fear in your life, 'cause if that don't work, i'll
- 00:13:43.535 --> 00:13:46.205
- Say, you know, "it's a commandment, and if you don't do
- 00:13:46.205 --> 00:13:48.340
- It, you're gonna go to hell."
- 00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:49.775
- No, no, no, no, no, that--all of the things that are
- 00:13:49.775 --> 00:13:52.544
- Represented here, today, can be transformed, can be changed.
- 00:13:52.544 --> 00:13:57.816
- There can be change in your life, and it doesn't have to be
- 00:13:57.816 --> 00:14:01.086
- By your willpower.
- 00:14:01.086 --> 00:14:03.489
- There's gonna be transformation.
- 00:14:03.489 --> 00:14:04.957
- The grace of god is not enabling sin, it's transforming you
- 00:14:04.957 --> 00:14:09.161
- From sin.
- 00:14:09.161 --> 00:14:10.496
- And yes, it's a journey.
- 00:14:10.496 --> 00:14:11.864
- It didn't happen one day.
- 00:14:11.864 --> 00:14:13.198
- It didn't happen, you know, you take one trip to the prayer room
- 00:14:13.198 --> 00:14:15.668
- And it's all over.
- 00:14:15.668 --> 00:14:17.403
- Some people think that in the church, you know.
- 00:14:17.403 --> 00:14:19.038
- "oh, they got saved that day, praise the lord, everything
- 00:14:19.038 --> 00:14:21.407
- Gonna be all right."
- 00:14:21.407 --> 00:14:22.741
- It is gonna be all right, but it's gonna be a journey.
- 00:14:22.741 --> 00:14:25.311
- You still might get cussed out after they come out of the
- 00:14:25.311 --> 00:14:27.413
- Prayer room, but it's gonna be a journey.
- 00:14:27.413 --> 00:14:29.515
- They cussing you out this time, gonna be different than they
- 00:14:29.515 --> 00:14:31.784
- Cussing you out the last time, because this time they have
- 00:14:31.784 --> 00:14:34.453
- Someone living on the inside of them that tugs at them when they
- 00:14:34.453 --> 00:14:38.057
- Do that because he has started the work of transformation and
- 00:14:38.057 --> 00:14:41.360
- Change on the inside of them.
- 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.696
- Are y'all hearing what i'm saying?
- 00:14:43.696 --> 00:14:45.030
- We got to give people--we gotta quit this thing.
- 00:14:45.030 --> 00:14:48.133
- We just keep beating people up because they don't match our
- 00:14:48.133 --> 00:14:51.303
- Religion of, you know, "do it with your will power, get real
- 00:14:51.303 --> 00:14:55.307
- Disciplined to do it."
- 00:14:55.307 --> 00:14:56.642
- You know, and "god helps those who help themselves."
- 00:14:56.642 --> 00:14:59.545
- You gotta stop all of that!
- 00:14:59.545 --> 00:15:01.380
- Stop, you gotta stop all of that.
- 00:15:01.380 --> 00:15:03.649
- That stuff's wrong, okay?
- 00:15:03.649 --> 00:15:06.151
- You--all you got, "well, how you know it's wrong?"
- 00:15:06.151 --> 00:15:07.886
- Well, just look at you!
- 00:15:07.886 --> 00:15:10.689
- I'll do what jesus did.
- 00:15:10.689 --> 00:15:12.057
- Jesus, they said what the-- "lord, the law says that this
- 00:15:12.057 --> 00:15:15.361
- Woman, who was caught in the act of adultery, she should be
- 00:15:15.361 --> 00:15:18.597
- Stoned to death!"
- 00:15:18.597 --> 00:15:19.965
- And they all got their stones, all those self-righteous men and
- 00:15:19.965 --> 00:15:24.370
- People there who had sins of their own, picked up stones.
- 00:15:24.370 --> 00:15:28.841
- Then they like the church, they got stuff, but they'll still
- 00:15:28.841 --> 00:15:30.976
- Pick up a stone.
- 00:15:30.976 --> 00:15:33.645
- They'll still--how they gonna pick a stone up with every last
- 00:15:33.645 --> 00:15:36.181
- One of them--and here's what jesus did.
- 00:15:36.181 --> 00:15:37.850
- This is--i love how cool jesus was.
- 00:15:37.850 --> 00:15:39.585
- Jesus said--you know, they said, "but the law said, what
- 00:15:39.585 --> 00:15:41.820
- Did you say?"
- 00:15:41.820 --> 00:15:43.155
- And jesus stooped down and doodled on the ground.
- 00:15:43.155 --> 00:15:45.090
- He says, "oh, here's what i say.
- 00:15:45.090 --> 00:15:46.625
- I'm not gonna tell you to disregard the law.
- 00:15:46.625 --> 00:15:49.728
- So what i'm gonna tell you, since i know i'm getting ready
- 00:15:49.728 --> 00:15:51.964
- To come and fix all of that, if you ain't got no sin, go ahead
- 00:15:51.964 --> 00:15:55.901
- And throw the rock."
- 00:15:55.901 --> 00:15:58.604
- And then you start hearing like a musical instrument, stones
- 00:15:58.604 --> 00:16:01.340
- Just falling to the ground, okay?
- 00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:04.743
- All right, so the old men, and the old folks, they dropped
- 00:16:04.743 --> 00:16:07.813
- Theirs first 'cause they had abundance of sin.
- 00:16:07.813 --> 00:16:10.049
- They had so much, oh my god, they had sin and regret.
- 00:16:10.049 --> 00:16:13.652
- They just dropped out--just, "aight, aight, yeah, you know."
- 00:16:13.652 --> 00:16:16.955
- But the young ones, now, the young ones now, they thought,
- 00:16:16.955 --> 00:16:19.425
- "oh, i still got a cause," but when they start looking at their
- 00:16:19.425 --> 00:16:22.461
- Selves, they still have something, isn't that something?
- 00:16:22.461 --> 00:16:24.763
- Pharisees standing up there still got some.
- 00:16:24.763 --> 00:16:27.232
- Church folks picking up stones when they realize they got
- 00:16:27.232 --> 00:16:30.803
- Something themselves.
- 00:16:30.803 --> 00:16:32.137
- You ain't got to say "amen," but i ain't scared of you
- 00:16:32.137 --> 00:16:33.972
- This morning.
- 00:16:33.972 --> 00:16:39.011
- That's what i'm trying to tell you, we sit here in church like
- 00:16:39.011 --> 00:16:41.613
- Real still, like what i'm saying to you is not possible.
- 00:16:41.613 --> 00:16:44.883
- Don't you know i came to the altar last week?
- 00:16:44.883 --> 00:16:47.286
- Don't you know that i went up those holy steps and went into
- 00:16:47.286 --> 00:16:51.156
- The prayer room where they prayed and anointed my head with
- 00:16:51.156 --> 00:16:53.992
- Oil, and they prayed in the holy ghost over me, and you still
- 00:16:53.992 --> 00:16:58.230
- Came down and let somebody have it.
- 00:16:58.230 --> 00:16:59.998
- You still, why?
- 00:16:59.998 --> 00:17:01.333
- Because this is a journey.
- 00:17:01.333 --> 00:17:02.701
- This is a transformation.
- 00:17:02.701 --> 00:17:04.603
- This is not a abracadabra, you understand?
- 00:17:04.603 --> 00:17:07.639
- This is a transformation, and god says, "i'm gonna walk with
- 00:17:07.639 --> 00:17:10.742
- You every time you get up.
- 00:17:10.742 --> 00:17:12.311
- Every time you mess up, i'm gonna pick you up.
- 00:17:12.311 --> 00:17:14.279
- It's a transformation, every time you think wrong, i'm gonna
- 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:16.949
- Be talking to you.
- 00:17:16.949 --> 00:17:18.283
- It's a transformation.
- 00:17:18.283 --> 00:17:19.651
- Every time you lust at something, i'm gonna be right
- 00:17:19.651 --> 00:17:20.986
- There and talk to you."
- 00:17:20.986 --> 00:17:22.321
- See, you trying to keep yourself from falling, but the bible
- 00:17:22.321 --> 00:17:24.423
- Said, in jude, that he is able to keep you from falling.
- 00:17:24.423 --> 00:17:27.826
- You ain't been able to stop you from falling right now, it's
- 00:17:27.826 --> 00:17:30.696
- Been some years, and you still tripping up and falling, and
- 00:17:30.696 --> 00:17:33.265
- Talking about, "lord, help me."
- 00:17:33.265 --> 00:17:34.633
- But now what you've done is you try to pretend like you ain't
- 00:17:34.633 --> 00:17:37.035
- Got nothing, and so you try to-- cause in the church, you can
- 00:17:37.035 --> 00:17:39.605
- Hide, in church, you can hide behind scripture, you can hide
- 00:17:39.605 --> 00:17:42.074
- Behind shouting, "amen, hallelujah, thank you, jesus."
- 00:17:42.074 --> 00:17:44.776
- But we know that everybody in the house got an issue.
- 00:17:44.776 --> 00:17:52.584
- It's a journey! it's a journey!
- 00:17:52.584 --> 00:18:01.393
- Y'all hear what i'm saying?
- 00:18:01.393 --> 00:18:03.162
- It's a journey, somebody said, "it's a journey!"
- 00:18:03.162 --> 00:18:06.632
- And you gotta get yourself together so you will understand
- 00:18:06.632 --> 00:18:10.369
- That god is the only one that can set you free.
- 00:18:10.369 --> 00:18:14.406
- You've got to let him do it.
- 00:18:14.406 --> 00:18:15.974
- So how can we change, or how can we be transformed?
- 00:18:15.974 --> 00:18:19.778
- 2 corinthians chapter 3:18, first of all, in the king james,
- 00:18:19.778 --> 00:18:23.115
- And then in the mirror.
- 00:18:23.115 --> 00:18:24.917
- King james, that's what we said, "but we all, with open face
- 00:18:24.917 --> 00:18:29.688
- Beholding as in a glass the glory of the lord, we are
- 00:18:29.688 --> 00:18:33.492
- Changed," transformed, "into the," what?
- 00:18:33.492 --> 00:18:37.829
- "same image of jesus from glory to glory," notice, even he knew
- 00:18:37.829 --> 00:18:41.867
- It was a journey, from glory to glory.
- 00:18:41.867 --> 00:18:44.703
- He didn't say change just like that.
- 00:18:44.703 --> 00:18:47.306
- He said, "change from glory to glory, even by the spirit of
- 00:18:47.306 --> 00:18:51.944
- The lord."
- 00:18:51.944 --> 00:18:53.312
- Now look at this in the new living translation.
- 00:18:53.312 --> 00:18:54.646
- So, just by beholding, "what are you talking about, pastor?"
- 00:18:54.646 --> 00:18:56.882
- Just by beholding him, you are changed.
- 00:18:56.882 --> 00:19:00.152
- The issue is, when you start asking yourself, "how much
- 00:19:00.152 --> 00:19:04.356
- Beholding time are you giving to jesus," and what else you been
- 00:19:04.356 --> 00:19:09.428
- Beholding, all right?
- 00:19:09.428 --> 00:19:12.364
