  • 00:01:50.690 --> 00:01:54.727
  • Creflo: you will not see the deeper things of god except you
  • 00:01:56.095 --> 00:02:01.201
  • See it through him.
  • 00:02:01.201 --> 00:02:05.872
  • You won't know what grace is all about.
  • 00:02:05.872 --> 00:02:09.742
  • Grace is not just a curriculum.
  • 00:02:09.742 --> 00:02:12.145
  • Grace is not just a subject matter.
  • 00:02:12.145 --> 00:02:14.948
  • Grace is a person, jesus full of grace and truth.
  • 00:02:14.948 --> 00:02:19.385
  • And here's jesus, and then grace is identified out of jesus, and
  • 00:02:19.385 --> 00:02:25.124
  • Then, watch this, truth is identified out of grace.
  • 00:02:25.124 --> 00:02:30.863
  • We just use truth in a general term like we do every--
  • 00:02:30.863 --> 00:02:35.501
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:02:35.501 --> 00:02:37.070
  • Like we do with a lot of things in the bible.
  • 00:02:37.070 --> 00:02:40.473
  • We just do things in a general term.
  • 00:02:40.473 --> 00:02:43.710
  • "well, praise god i'm preaching the truth."
  • 00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:45.178
  • All right, what does that mean?
  • 00:02:45.178 --> 00:02:46.746
  • Are you preaching the truth of the old covenant or are you
  • 00:02:46.746 --> 00:02:51.351
  • Preaching the truth of this new covenant, of this
  • 00:02:51.351 --> 00:02:55.121
  • Better covenant?
  • 00:02:55.121 --> 00:02:56.456
  • Which truth are we talking about?
  • 00:02:56.456 --> 00:02:59.592
  • Because what was true in one dispensation may lot--may not at
  • 00:02:59.592 --> 00:03:06.532
  • This point in this--it may not be the truth now.
  • 00:03:06.532 --> 00:03:11.070
  • But if you don't dig into that, if you don't let your if--your
  • 00:03:11.070 --> 00:03:16.342
  • Religion will cause you to be stuck in a principle that
  • 00:03:16.342 --> 00:03:19.812
  • Doesn't rightly divide the word.
  • 00:03:19.812 --> 00:03:22.548
  • Did you--do you understand what i'm saying?
  • 00:03:22.548 --> 00:03:24.050
  • You're--oh, this is the principle.
  • 00:03:24.050 --> 00:03:26.819
  • And you'll start saying weird stuff.
  • 00:03:26.819 --> 00:03:29.722
  • You'll start just making up stuff that ain't in the bible.
  • 00:03:29.722 --> 00:03:32.025
  • "you know, the tree in the garden, that was a tight tithe."
  • 00:03:32.025 --> 00:03:34.127
  • Where is that?
  • 00:03:34.127 --> 00:03:38.398
  • A tight tithe, you know--you wanna know what the tree in the
  • 00:03:38.398 --> 00:03:41.334
  • Garden was all about?
  • 00:03:41.334 --> 00:03:43.870
  • Here it is.
  • 00:03:43.870 --> 00:03:45.204
  • You know, we think the sin--first of all, we think the
  • 00:03:45.204 --> 00:03:47.006
  • Sin was eating of the fruit.
  • 00:03:47.006 --> 00:03:49.075
  • You remember when you taught this?
  • 00:03:49.075 --> 00:03:50.410
  • The real sin was you didn't take advantage of everything else he
  • 00:03:50.410 --> 00:03:53.212
  • Said you could have.
  • 00:03:53.212 --> 00:03:55.748
  • But lemme tell you, he said, "you could eat of all the trees
  • 00:03:55.748 --> 00:03:58.451
  • Of the garden."
  • 00:03:58.451 --> 00:03:59.819
  • The real sin is you completely he--they completely neglected
  • 00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:04.324
  • All--the abundance of god that he was trying to show them for
  • 00:04:04.324 --> 00:04:08.328
  • One fruit tree.
  • 00:04:08.328 --> 00:04:12.699
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:04:12.699 --> 00:04:14.367
  • Lord, take me.
  • 00:04:14.367 --> 00:04:16.035
  • You--we going somewhere with this.
  • 00:04:16.035 --> 00:04:17.570
  • So eve started reporting to lucifer or satan like she was
  • 00:04:17.570 --> 00:04:23.910
  • There, and satan comes up and says, "you know, can you eat of
  • 00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:33.686
  • This tree?"
  • 00:04:33.686 --> 00:04:35.054
  • She said, "no.
  • 00:04:35.054 --> 00:04:36.389
  • We can eat of all the trees of the garden except for this
  • 00:04:36.389 --> 00:04:38.191
  • One right here."
  • 00:04:38.191 --> 00:04:40.026
  • All right, now watch carefully what's going on.
  • 00:04:40.026 --> 00:04:45.365
  • "hath god said?"
  • 00:04:45.365 --> 00:04:47.767
  • "now, i'mma get you to thinking that you missing out
  • 00:04:47.767 --> 00:04:49.502
  • On something."
  • 00:04:49.502 --> 00:04:50.837
  • "hath god said? hath god said?"
  • 00:04:50.837 --> 00:04:54.540
  • Questionings and doubts.
  • 00:04:54.540 --> 00:04:57.577
  • She said, "yeah, we can eat all the trees in the garden but not
  • 00:04:57.577 --> 00:05:00.313
  • This one."
  • 00:05:00.313 --> 00:05:01.647
  • And then she added, i think, four words that god did not even
  • 00:05:01.647 --> 00:05:06.319
  • Say, and then he told a lie.
  • 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:12.959
  • "you don't have to worry about doing what you've been doing up
  • 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.529
  • To this time."
  • 00:05:16.529 --> 00:05:17.864
  • And i ask, what were they doing up to this time?
  • 00:05:17.864 --> 00:05:20.733
  • They were totally dependent on god.
  • 00:05:20.733 --> 00:05:25.104
  • They depended on god for everything.
  • 00:05:25.104 --> 00:05:28.941
  • Totally dependent on god, and then he said, "you don't have to
  • 00:05:28.941 --> 00:05:35.348
  • Do that anymore because if you eat this fruit you're gonna be
  • 00:05:35.348 --> 00:05:44.457
  • Like god."
  • 00:05:44.457 --> 00:05:46.793
  • Now, watch what's happening here now.
  • 00:05:46.793 --> 00:05:48.795
  • It wasn't just, "if you eat this fruit, you're gonna be
  • 00:05:48.795 --> 00:05:51.097
  • Like god."
  • 00:05:51.097 --> 00:05:52.465
  • It was, "you don't need to depend on god if you eat this
  • 00:05:52.465 --> 00:05:55.501
  • Fruit 'cause you can be your own god.
  • 00:05:55.501 --> 00:05:59.038
  • You can depend on yourself."
  • 00:05:59.038 --> 00:06:01.474
  • It's the same trick he did in heaven before he fell.
  • 00:06:01.474 --> 00:06:05.478
  • A third of the angels equaled millions of them, and what he
  • 00:06:05.478 --> 00:06:10.483
  • Convinced a third of the angels to do: "you don't need god.
  • 00:06:10.483 --> 00:06:15.288
  • Declare your independence from god.
  • 00:06:15.288 --> 00:06:20.660
  • You don't need him."
  • 00:06:20.660 --> 00:06:21.994
  • And a third of angels bought it.
  • 00:06:21.994 --> 00:06:24.163
  • And satan declared his independence from god and then a
  • 00:06:24.163 --> 00:06:27.266
  • Third of the angels declared their independence from god, and
  • 00:06:27.266 --> 00:06:29.902
  • God created a hell to hold those rebellious angels
  • 00:06:29.902 --> 00:06:33.539
  • Into captivity.
  • 00:06:33.539 --> 00:06:34.874
  • And men think hell was created for you when it was created for
  • 00:06:34.874 --> 00:06:37.443
  • The devil and his angels.
  • 00:06:37.443 --> 00:06:41.113
  • And then he comes down and he sees these two people totally
  • 00:06:41.113 --> 00:06:45.885
  • Dependent upon god and he says, "no, we're not gonna depend on
  • 00:06:45.885 --> 00:06:51.991
  • God anymore.
  • 00:06:51.991 --> 00:06:55.027
  • Eat of this tree and declare your independence from god."
  • 00:06:55.027 --> 00:07:01.400
  • And when they ate of that tree, that was their declaration that
  • 00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:08.975
  • Said, "we don't need you."
  • 00:07:08.975 --> 00:07:12.912
  • And man became a rebel.
  • 00:07:12.912 --> 00:07:17.116
  • From that point on, jesus now is working to get this thing right.
  • 00:07:17.116 --> 00:07:22.622
  • Man became a rebel.
  • 00:07:22.622 --> 00:07:24.590
  • Man thought that he could do what he needed to do
  • 00:07:24.590 --> 00:07:26.926
  • Without god.
  • 00:07:26.926 --> 00:07:28.594
  • The mosaic law was never god's best.
  • 00:07:28.594 --> 00:07:31.097
  • God didn't want man to even deal with the law.
  • 00:07:31.097 --> 00:07:33.165
  • But when moses came off the mountain, here's their response.
  • 00:07:33.165 --> 00:07:36.269
  • "we can do by ourselves.
  • 00:07:36.269 --> 00:07:39.305
  • We don't need god.
  • 00:07:39.305 --> 00:07:40.673
  • We can do whatever god tells us to do."
  • 00:07:40.673 --> 00:07:42.241
  • He's like, "goddog, y'all ain't learned nothing.
  • 00:07:42.241 --> 00:07:45.344
  • I'mma show you.
  • 00:07:45.344 --> 00:07:46.679
  • Here is the law. now do that."
  • 00:07:46.679 --> 00:07:48.047
  • 'cause he said, "i already know you can't do it.
  • 00:07:48.047 --> 00:07:50.082
  • So i'mma go ahead and my mercy is gonna implement the
  • 00:07:50.082 --> 00:07:53.519
  • Sacrificial system so that i can bless you through the sacrifices
  • 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:58.357
  • 'cause you not gonna be able to keep all these laws, even though
  • 00:07:58.357 --> 00:08:02.728
  • You think you can."
  • 00:08:02.728 --> 00:08:04.096
  • It's man declaring his independence on god.
  • 00:08:04.096 --> 00:08:09.135
  • And so a jesus has got to come in now to show you and
  • 00:08:09.135 --> 00:08:13.573
  • Demonstrate to you that, "without him i can do nothing."
  • 00:08:13.573 --> 00:08:17.944
  • And jesus did stuff like, you know, "i'm the vine.
  • 00:08:17.944 --> 00:08:21.213
  • You the branch," showing you that the branch can't bear no
  • 00:08:21.213 --> 00:08:25.818
  • Fruit separated from the vine.
  • 00:08:25.818 --> 00:08:28.254
  • Total dependence on god.
  • 00:08:28.254 --> 00:08:30.856
  • The string now throughout the whole bible, from heaven all the
  • 00:08:30.856 --> 00:08:35.328
  • Way to where we are right now, is an issue of, are you gonna
  • 00:08:35.328 --> 00:08:39.265
  • Declare your independence from god or are you gonna declare
  • 00:08:39.265 --> 00:08:42.735
  • Your dependence for god?
  • 00:08:42.735 --> 00:08:44.437
  • This grace is all about a jesus who has shown up full of grace,
  • 00:08:44.437 --> 00:08:50.543
  • And the truth is--the truth in this new covenant is the truth
  • 00:08:50.543 --> 00:08:55.314
  • Of grace.
  • 00:08:55.314 --> 00:08:56.682
  • It's the truth of jesus christ, and it is the truth that you
  • 00:08:56.682 --> 00:08:59.652
  • Can't do anything without jesus.
  • 00:08:59.652 --> 00:09:02.288
  • You're healed.
  • 00:09:02.288 --> 00:09:03.623
  • You're delivered. you're prosperous.
  • 00:09:03.623 --> 00:09:04.991
  • You're everything that jesus made you, but you can't do
  • 00:09:04.991 --> 00:09:07.026
  • Nothing without him unti--you have to declare your dependence
  • 00:09:07.026 --> 00:09:11.330
  • On him.
  • 00:09:11.330 --> 00:09:13.466
  • I depend on him for my righteousness.
  • 00:09:13.466 --> 00:09:15.668
  • I can't be righteous without him.
  • 00:09:15.668 --> 00:09:19.338
  • I depend on him for my redemption.
  • 00:09:19.338 --> 00:09:21.173
  • I depend on him for my prosperity.
  • 00:09:21.173 --> 00:09:23.242
  • It is in him we move, in him we breathe, in him we have our
  • 00:09:23.242 --> 00:09:27.079
  • Very being.
  • 00:09:27.079 --> 00:09:28.447
  • There must be a declaration of dependence on god and satan's
  • 00:09:28.447 --> 00:09:33.285
  • Working 24 hours to try to get you to contradict that.
  • 00:09:33.285 --> 00:09:38.124
  • "declare your independence on god.
  • 00:09:38.124 --> 00:09:40.059
  • Hey, you don't need god.
  • 00:09:40.059 --> 00:09:41.427
  • You got money.
  • 00:09:41.427 --> 00:09:42.762
  • Declare your independence on god.
  • 00:09:42.762 --> 00:09:44.130
  • You don't need god because you got a education.
  • 00:09:44.130 --> 00:09:46.032
  • Declare your independence on god.
  • 00:09:46.032 --> 00:09:47.366
  • You don't need god.
  • 00:09:47.366 --> 00:09:48.734
  • You got principles.
  • 00:09:48.734 --> 00:09:51.470
  • You don't need god.
  • 00:09:51.470 --> 00:09:52.805
  • You know the mechanics."
  • 00:09:52.805 --> 00:09:56.242
  • You need him. you need him.
  • 00:09:56.242 --> 00:10:00.780
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:10:00.780 --> 00:10:03.015
  • You need him. you need him.
  • 00:10:03.015 --> 00:10:09.121
  • This is really simple.
  • 00:10:09.121 --> 00:10:10.923
  • It's me declaring my dependence on god and spending my life
  • 00:10:10.923 --> 00:10:15.961
  • Getting to know him.
  • 00:10:15.961 --> 00:10:19.498
  • "show me, god.
  • 00:10:19.498 --> 00:10:22.301
  • What do you want me to do, god?"
  • 00:10:22.301 --> 00:10:26.405
  • "yeah, but, brother dollar, i said this 50 times.
  • 00:10:26.405 --> 00:10:29.108
  • That's what i'm gonna do.
  • 00:10:29.108 --> 00:10:30.443
  • I'm gonna use--" watch this.
  • 00:10:30.443 --> 00:10:32.044
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:10:32.044 --> 00:10:34.280
  • "i'mma use my faith."
  • 00:10:34.280 --> 00:10:35.614
  • Goddog it, there you go.
  • 00:10:35.614 --> 00:10:38.217
  • "i'mma use my faith and i'mma make this happen."
  • 00:10:38.217 --> 00:10:43.656
  • And all of a sudden you have now more confidence in your faith
  • 00:10:43.656 --> 00:10:50.062
  • Than you do his faith.
  • 00:10:50.062 --> 00:10:53.899
  • Somebody say, "what you talking about?"
  • 00:10:53.899 --> 00:10:55.234
  • Well, galatians says we live by the faith of jesus christ.
  • 00:10:55.234 --> 00:11:01.507
  • I live by the faith of jesus christ.
  • 00:11:01.507 --> 00:11:03.175
  • If jesus believes i'm righteous, i believe i'm righteous.
  • 00:11:03.175 --> 00:11:08.814
  • If jesus believes i'm redeemed, i believe i'm redeemed.
  • 00:11:08.814 --> 00:11:13.085
  • I live by the faith of jesus christ, man, but we--
  • 00:11:13.085 --> 00:11:18.524
  • I don't know what this thing is.
  • 00:11:18.524 --> 00:11:20.226
  • There is a weird pride and self-righteousness that takes
  • 00:11:20.226 --> 00:11:24.597
  • Place when you go to principles of faith and don't even
  • 00:11:24.597 --> 00:11:29.668
  • Recognize that he is the source of your faith.
  • 00:11:29.668 --> 00:11:34.240
  • "well, the bible says, book of hebrews, he give us the heroes
  • 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.675
  • Of faith.
  • 00:11:36.675 --> 00:11:38.010
  • By faith they did this.
  • 00:11:38.010 --> 00:11:39.378
  • By faith they did that.
  • 00:11:39.378 --> 00:11:42.081
  • By faith they did this. by faith they did that."
  • 00:11:40.713 --> 00:11:43.449
  • You need to make sure you read the last three scriptures.
  • 00:11:43.449 --> 00:11:46.118
  • He said but they didn't have the promise.
  • 00:11:46.118 --> 00:11:52.191
  • They didn't have the promise.
  • 00:11:52.191 --> 00:11:54.026
  • You have the promise.
  • 00:11:54.026 --> 00:11:56.162
  • Jesus has come.
  • 00:11:56.162 --> 00:11:57.763
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:11:57.763 --> 00:11:59.098
  • I no longer have to depend on my faith.
  • 00:11:59.098 --> 00:12:02.568
  • He--habakkuk 2:4 says that "the just shall live by his faith."
  • 00:12:02.568 --> 00:12:06.438
  • Individually, you, your faith.
  • 00:12:06.438 --> 00:12:09.909
  • But now, now i don't have to draw back because he has already
  • 00:12:09.909 --> 00:12:18.551
  • Done everything.
  • 00:12:18.551 --> 00:12:19.885
  • There ain't nothing-- [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:12:19.885 --> 00:12:21.520
  • There ain't nothing--i need to write this sermon now and
  • 00:12:21.520 --> 00:12:24.323
  • All that.
  • 00:12:24.323 --> 00:12:25.658
  • There ain't nothing that jesus left out concerning you.
  • 00:12:25.658 --> 00:12:35.267
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:12:35.267 --> 00:12:37.236
  • There's nothing jesus left out concerning you.
  • 00:12:37.236 --> 00:12:41.607
  • Almost everything you're praying about, he has finished.
  • 00:12:41.607 --> 00:12:47.880
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:12:47.880 --> 00:12:49.615
  • Because there's this thing about god, that he is so cool in his
  • 00:12:49.615 --> 00:12:56.355
  • Character that whatever he creates he accepts the
  • 00:12:56.355 --> 00:13:00.326
  • Responsibility of taking care of.
  • 00:13:00.326 --> 00:13:04.296
  • He created plant life and made sure that there's sun and
  • 00:13:04.296 --> 00:13:08.934
  • There's water.
  • 00:13:08.934 --> 00:13:10.336
  • Because he created it, his provision is there to
  • 00:13:10.336 --> 00:13:14.540
  • Sustain life.
  • 00:13:14.540 --> 00:13:17.109
  • He created the animals.
  • 00:13:17.109 --> 00:13:18.644
  • He accepts the responsibility to take care of every last one of
  • 00:13:18.644 --> 00:13:23.048
  • Those animals.
  • 00:13:23.048 --> 00:13:24.383
  • He created you and me and accepted the responsibility to
  • 00:13:24.383 --> 00:13:28.787
  • Making sure we got shelter.
  • 00:13:28.787 --> 00:13:30.189
  • You ain't never got to worry about--god has
  • 00:13:30.189 --> 00:13:34.426
  • Accepted responsibility.
  • 00:13:34.426 --> 00:13:36.095
  • He created you.
  • 00:13:36.095 --> 00:13:37.496
  • He got to provide for you, and that's why he said, "i shall
  • 00:13:37.496 --> 00:13:42.234
  • Supply all of your need, according to his riches in glory
  • 00:13:42.234 --> 00:13:46.906
  • Through and by christ jesus."
  • 00:13:46.906 --> 00:13:48.307
  • Well, he has been--he's been honorable to that.
  • 00:13:48.307 --> 00:13:52.978
  • But now here's the part that got me.
  • 00:13:52.978 --> 00:13:56.282
  • When adam sinned in the garden and declared their independence
  • 00:13:56.282 --> 00:14:04.356
  • From god, lack was created then.
  • 00:14:04.356 --> 00:14:12.798
  • What is he gonna provide for everything that we lost?
  • 00:14:12.798 --> 00:14:17.569
  • Grace is the abounding provision in the operation--the
  • 00:14:17.569 --> 00:14:25.711
  • Unrestricted operation of the love of god that works through
  • 00:14:25.711 --> 00:14:32.084
  • Jesus christ for mankind, especially for those who depend
  • 00:14:32.084 --> 00:14:38.691
  • On him.
  • 00:14:38.691 --> 00:14:41.560
  • I don't think you heard me 'cause y'all--you're
  • 00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:43.896
  • Freaking out.
  • 00:14:43.896 --> 00:14:45.230
  • "what did you just say?"
  • 00:14:45.230 --> 00:14:46.598
  • Grace is god's provision for man's--watch this.
  • 00:14:46.598 --> 00:14:50.903
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:14:50.903 --> 00:14:52.805
  • Give me the words, lord. i'm excited.
  • 00:14:52.805 --> 00:14:54.173
  • I need to calm down. [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:14:54.173 --> 00:14:56.542
  • Grace is god's provision for the spiritual insufficiency that was
  • 00:14:56.542 --> 00:15:05.517
  • Left by adam and eve.
  • 00:15:05.517 --> 00:15:08.320
  • So everything that happened because of what they did, grace
  • 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.991
  • Is the spiritual's provision for the spiritual realm.
  • 00:15:11.991 --> 00:15:17.096
  • Grace is responsible for your new man's nourishment.
  • 00:15:17.096 --> 00:15:24.670
  • You understanding this, ben?
  • 00:15:24.670 --> 00:15:27.573
  • And i know some of y'all kinda, "say that again."
  • 00:15:27.573 --> 00:15:30.275
  • I'm working on it.
  • 00:15:30.275 --> 00:15:37.082
  • When we get born again, we got this new man.
  • 00:15:37.082 --> 00:15:42.888
  • He gave us a new creation.
  • 00:15:42.888 --> 00:15:45.257
  • He's responsible for supplying the nourishment of that new
  • 00:15:45.257 --> 00:15:49.828
  • Creation so that whatever we are inside we have access to in
  • 00:15:49.828 --> 00:15:55.567
  • Our lives.
  • 00:15:55.567 --> 00:15:58.103
  • So grace ministers righteousness right here.
  • 00:15:58.103 --> 00:16:02.174
  • Righteousness is here, so i can take hold of it here.
  • 00:16:02.174 --> 00:16:07.913
  • Grace ministers redemption here.
  • 00:16:07.913 --> 00:16:10.682
  • Grace ministers.
  • 00:16:10.682 --> 00:16:12.751
  • Everything that your old man lacked your new man has.
  • 00:16:12.751 --> 00:16:17.456
  • And the grace of god is the nourishment for everything you
  • 00:16:17.456 --> 00:16:21.860
  • Gonna need in life, and it is put in the bank, if you will.
  • 00:16:21.860 --> 00:16:26.198
  • You know, you have a food bank?
  • 00:16:26.198 --> 00:16:27.666
  • You have this bank where god, he deposits everything by grace in
  • 00:16:27.666 --> 00:16:31.904
  • You that you'll ever need.
  • 00:16:31.904 --> 00:16:33.639
  • You already are healed.
  • 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:38.544
  • You already are delivered.
  • 00:16:38.544 --> 00:16:40.813
  • You already are righteous.
  • 00:16:40.813 --> 00:16:43.348
  • So what's the problem?
  • 00:16:43.348 --> 00:16:44.950
  • Somebody says, "is--if i is, then why come i ain't?"
  • 00:16:44.950 --> 00:16:49.621
  • No, no, no, no.
  • 00:16:49.621 --> 00:16:50.956
  • You really is.
  • 00:16:50.956 --> 00:16:52.324
  • It's just you gotta understand dimensional exchanges.
  • 00:16:52.324 --> 00:17:00.032
  • "what are you talking about?"
  • 00:17:00.032 --> 00:17:02.134
  • Well, there is a spiritual dimension where the finished
  • 00:17:02.134 --> 00:17:06.672
  • Works are finished.
  • 00:17:06.672 --> 00:17:13.579
  • Now, faith operates--and you'll hear it more.
  • 00:17:13.579 --> 00:17:20.219
  • It operates in and because the love of god.
  • 00:17:20.219 --> 00:17:25.390
  • My faith rests in the love of god.
  • 00:17:25.390 --> 00:17:27.893
  • I know god loves me, and because i know god loves me i'm healed.
  • 00:17:27.893 --> 00:17:33.132
  • I know god loves me, and because god lo--i know god loves me
  • 00:17:33.132 --> 00:17:37.236
  • I'm provided for.
  • 00:17:37.236 --> 00:17:38.604
  • My faith is not the mechanics of, "i gotta do these 50 things
  • 00:17:38.604 --> 00:17:41.773
  • Or it'll work."
  • 00:17:41.773 --> 00:17:43.142
  • My faith doesn't require but one thing.
  • 00:17:43.142 --> 00:17:44.576
  • "i believe god loves me."
  • 00:17:44.576 --> 00:17:45.944
  • It'll work. it'll work.
  • 00:17:45.944 --> 00:17:48.647
  • It'll work because i know god loves me.
  • 00:17:48.647 --> 00:17:49.982
  • It work 'cause i know he love me.
  • 00:17:49.982 --> 00:17:51.483
  • It doesn't work because i know i said it ten times, it works
  • 00:17:51.483 --> 00:17:54.286
  • Because i know he loves me.
  • 00:17:54.286 --> 00:17:55.854
  • And if i'm saying it 10, 20 times, it's because i'm
  • 00:17:55.854 --> 00:17:58.524
  • Convinced on the inside that his love is real and that's coming
  • 00:17:58.524 --> 00:18:02.661
  • Up out of me not mechanically, but the very essence of who
  • 00:18:02.661 --> 00:18:07.065
  • He is is moving in me.
  • 00:18:07.065 --> 00:18:14.773
  • Faith in his love.
  • 00:18:17.476 --> 00:18:23.882
  • So how about this dimensional stuff?
  • 00:18:23.882 --> 00:18:27.019
  • Man, i gotta keep up with what stuff coming out of my mouth.
  • 00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:32.658
  • I--more of my body was under attack.
  • 00:18:32.658 --> 00:18:36.662
  • I stand here today.
  • 00:18:36.662 --> 00:18:38.530
  • I think i've been in pain for about what, 3 months?
  • 00:18:38.530 --> 00:18:41.166
  • Can't i feel so good today?
  • 00:18:41.166 --> 00:18:44.636
  • I feel so good today.
  • 00:18:44.636 --> 00:18:48.307
  • That's why i wore this flower shirt my sister bought me that
  • 00:18:48.307 --> 00:18:50.742
  • I promised i'd never wear.
  • 00:18:50.742 --> 00:18:52.544
  • It was to demonstrate my independence from pain, my
  • 00:18:52.544 --> 00:18:56.415
  • Independence from the devil, my independence from the mosaic
  • 00:18:56.415 --> 00:19:00.285
  • Law, my independence from everything the devil tried
  • 00:19:00.285 --> 00:19:03.388
  • To do.
  • 00:19:03.388 --> 00:19:04.723
  • Glory to god.
  • 00:19:04.723 --> 00:19:06.091
  • I'm free.
  • 00:19:06.091 --> 00:19:07.426
  • Hallelujah!
  • 00:19:07.426 --> 00:19:09.127
  • Now, i bought all them books up there.
  • 00:19:09.127 --> 00:19:14.566
  • I wanna use them.
  • 00:19:14.566 --> 00:19:19.137
  • What i realized, i was walking one day and this pain, man, and
  • 00:19:19.137 --> 00:19:29.548
  • My mind drifted off into, "yeah, but why is it not here?
  • 00:19:29.615 --> 00:19:39.658
  • I believe you healed me.
  • 00:19:40.926 --> 00:19:42.261
  • I'm just--like, where is it?"
  • 00:19:42.261 --> 00:19:45.864
  • I didn't say that 'cause i know better, but god weighs my heart.
  • 00:19:45.864 --> 00:19:49.201
  • He knew i was saying it on the inside.
  • 00:19:49.201 --> 00:19:52.137
  • You know how we do, right?
  • 00:19:52.137 --> 00:19:55.474
  • And i said, "i need to know this, if you could help me
  • 00:19:55.474 --> 00:19:57.509
  • With it."
  • 00:19:57.509 --> 00:20:02.447
  • There's a dimension where it is all done.
  • 00:20:02.447 --> 00:20:08.553
  • I am now responsible for the path for that finished work to
  • 00:20:08.553 --> 00:20:17.429
  • Come to me.
  • 00:20:17.429 --> 00:20:20.999
  • Understanding how much god loves me provides the path for the
  • 00:20:20.999 --> 00:20:28.273
  • Finished work to move from this dimension into this dimension.
  • 00:20:28.273 --> 00:20:35.847
  • Y'all don't understand what i'm saying.
  • 00:20:35.847 --> 00:20:37.616
  • Y'all don't understand.
  • 00:20:37.616 --> 00:20:38.984
  • It's not--it looks like it's not done because dimensionally it
  • 00:20:38.984 --> 00:20:44.823
  • Hadn't made it over, but the
  • 00:20:44.823 --> 00:20:52.864
  • Things that are unseen are just
  • 00:20:52.864 --> 00:20:58.570
  • As real as the things that are seen for the things that are
  • 00:20:58.570 --> 00:21:02.474
  • Unseen are eternal.
  • 00:21:02.474 --> 00:21:07.646
  • There it is in that dimension.
  • 00:21:07.646 --> 00:21:10.015
  • There's my healing in that dimension.
