  • Male announcer: coming up next on "changing your world."
  • 00:00:08.054 --> 00:00:11.524
  • Creflo dollar: when you believe the finished works of jesus, you
  • 00:00:11.591 --> 00:00:16.229
  • Are being obedient to the faith.
  • 00:00:16.229 --> 00:00:20.133
  • Obedience to the faith is just believing.
  • 00:00:20.133 --> 00:00:22.635
  • It's--watch this.
  • 00:00:22.635 --> 00:00:23.970
  • It's right believing.
  • 00:00:23.970 --> 00:00:26.272
  • Obedience to the faith is right believing, and that freaks
  • 00:00:26.272 --> 00:00:29.676
  • People out because now you're having to move from obedience to
  • 00:00:29.676 --> 00:00:32.846
  • The law where you're performing and doing something, okay,
  • 00:00:32.846 --> 00:00:38.084
  • Versus obedience to faith where you are believing right
  • 00:00:38.084 --> 00:00:42.422
  • According to what jesus has finished.
  • 00:00:42.422 --> 00:00:45.325

  • Creflo: how many of you know christ is not jesus's last name?
  • 00:01:55.495 --> 00:02:03.536
  • Somebody say, "what's jesus's last name?"
  • 00:02:03.536 --> 00:02:05.004
  • "christ, i believe."
  • 00:02:05.004 --> 00:02:08.808
  • No, christ is the anointed one.
  • 00:02:08.808 --> 00:02:15.548
  • He said, "thou art the anointed one,
  • 00:02:15.548 --> 00:02:19.419
  • The son of the living god."
  • 00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:26.025
  • All right, now watch this.
  • 00:02:26.025 --> 00:02:27.360
  • "but my father which is in heaven, he revealed it to you."
  • 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.430
  • Now, let me let you in on something.
  • 00:02:30.430 --> 00:02:32.298
  • The father, which is in heaven, sent the holy ghost, which is in
  • 00:02:32.298 --> 00:02:39.339
  • You, so that heaven can still be revealing some stuff to you.
  • 00:02:39.339 --> 00:02:45.712
  • So you need to trust the heaven you got in you.
  • 00:02:49.682 --> 00:02:51.985
  • Now, how are you questioning whether or not you're going to
  • 00:02:51.985 --> 00:02:53.853
  • Go to heaven when you already got a little heaven on the
  • 00:02:53.853 --> 00:02:56.522
  • Inside of you?
  • 00:02:56.522 --> 00:02:58.024
  • Don't let the devil play that trick with you.
  • 00:02:58.024 --> 00:02:59.692
  • "you sure you going to get in?"
  • 00:02:59.692 --> 00:03:01.227
  • Bro, i'm already in.
  • 00:03:01.227 --> 00:03:03.096
  • He in me.
  • 00:03:03.096 --> 00:03:05.798
  • He's my--he's the host.
  • 00:03:04.464 --> 00:03:07.166
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:03:07.166 --> 00:03:08.501
  • I'm hosting him because one day he's going to host me.
  • 00:03:08.501 --> 00:03:12.572
  • Woo, jesus.
  • 00:03:12.572 --> 00:03:17.744
  • I feel like taking off right now, boy.
  • 00:03:17.744 --> 00:03:19.212
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:03:19.212 --> 00:03:22.248
  • Glory to god.
  • 00:03:22.248 --> 00:03:23.616
  • Excuse me.
  • 00:03:23.616 --> 00:03:24.951
  • I'm enjoying myself.
  • 00:03:24.951 --> 00:03:26.286
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:03:26.286 --> 00:03:29.722
  • Now, watch this next verse.
  • 00:03:29.722 --> 00:03:31.991
  • Verse 8, "and i say unto you--i say unto thee--" now, listen
  • 00:03:31.991 --> 00:03:38.731
  • To this.
  • 00:03:38.731 --> 00:03:40.099
  • He just a couple of times said, "i'm talking to simon the son
  • 00:03:40.099 --> 00:03:44.737
  • Of jonah."
  • 00:03:44.737 --> 00:03:47.040
  • "and he said unto thee, 'that thou art--'" he wasn't talking
  • 00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:54.347
  • About what your name is.
  • 00:03:54.347 --> 00:03:55.682
  • He says, "you are a peter."
  • 00:03:55.682 --> 00:04:01.087
  • "what do you mean a peter?"
  • 00:04:01.087 --> 00:04:02.989
  • Well, i think in the greek it's a piece of rock, fragment of it.
  • 00:04:02.989 --> 00:04:08.394
  • He ain't rock, but something happens when you get a
  • 00:04:08.394 --> 00:04:12.532
  • Revelation of the rock.
  • 00:04:12.532 --> 00:04:16.336
  • A little--
  • 00:04:16.336 --> 00:04:18.671
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:04:18.671 --> 00:04:20.940
  • A little of the rock going--it's going to make you more sound.
  • 00:04:20.940 --> 00:04:25.812
  • The more you understand who jesus is, the more solid
  • 00:04:25.812 --> 00:04:29.882
  • You become.
  • 00:04:29.882 --> 00:04:33.753
  • You become solid.
  • 00:04:33.753 --> 00:04:35.121
  • You know where i'm going with this, don't you?
  • 00:04:38.858 --> 00:04:41.761
  • Amen.
  • 00:04:41.761 --> 00:04:44.530
  • Thou art--i think it would be even closer to the truth if i
  • 00:04:44.530 --> 00:04:51.604
  • Said thou art rocky.
  • 00:04:51.604 --> 00:04:55.108
  • Not balboa, but thou art rock.
  • 00:04:55.108 --> 00:05:00.580
  • "thou art peter, and upon this rock--"
  • 00:05:00.580 --> 00:05:10.523
  • What rock?
  • 00:05:10.523 --> 00:05:11.858
  • Now, we got to answer that.
  • 00:05:11.858 --> 00:05:13.192
  • Upon--
  • 00:05:13.192 --> 00:05:14.560
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.895
  • Upon this rock--you're going to understand a lot about satan's
  • 00:05:15.895 --> 00:05:18.264
  • Attack after this.
  • 00:05:18.264 --> 00:05:19.632
  • Upon this rock--all right, who's the rock?
  • 00:05:19.632 --> 00:05:22.802
  • Okay, he is jesus, but in context of what i'm reading here
  • 00:05:22.802 --> 00:05:27.974
  • He is saying, "upon this revelation of jesus, upon this
  • 00:05:27.974 --> 00:05:36.616
  • Revelation of jesus i'm going to build my church."
  • 00:05:36.616 --> 00:05:40.153
  • Upon this revelation that jesus is the christ, jesus is the
  • 00:05:40.153 --> 00:05:46.092
  • Anointed one, jesus is the one that removes burdens and
  • 00:05:46.092 --> 00:05:49.495
  • Destroys yoke, jesus is the anointed one.
  • 00:05:49.495 --> 00:05:52.198
  • The anointing is not just a shake, rattle, and roll.
  • 00:05:52.198 --> 00:05:56.235
  • The anointing removes burdens and destroys yokes.
  • 00:05:56.235 --> 00:06:00.339
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:06:00.339 --> 00:06:01.674
  • If you are a singer and when you sing everybody in church get a
  • 00:06:01.674 --> 00:06:04.310
  • Headache, you are not anointed.
  • 00:06:04.310 --> 00:06:05.878
  • The anointing doesn't bring burdens, it removes burdens.
  • 00:06:10.016 --> 00:06:12.318
  • Praise god.
  • 00:06:12.318 --> 00:06:13.786
  • And just 'cause you fall out on the floor doesn't mean
  • 00:06:13.786 --> 00:06:16.889
  • You're anointed.
  • 00:06:16.889 --> 00:06:18.224
  • I'm so fed up with people just falling out, just--you can't
  • 00:06:18.224 --> 00:06:20.760
  • Hardly help because the guy praying for you--you know, if
  • 00:06:20.760 --> 00:06:22.829
  • You control the head the body got to follow, and he gets your
  • 00:06:22.829 --> 00:06:25.998
  • Head and put your head all the way back there.
  • 00:06:25.998 --> 00:06:29.035
  • You ain't got to do that.
  • 00:06:29.035 --> 00:06:30.369
  • If the anointing's there, you ain't got to do that because i
  • 00:06:30.369 --> 00:06:33.940
  • Am not as concerned about you falling out as much as i am how
  • 00:06:33.940 --> 00:06:39.345
  • You get up.
  • 00:06:39.345 --> 00:06:40.680
  • 'cause if you fell out sick and get up the same way, then you
  • 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.251
  • Didn't encounter nothing.
  • 00:06:45.251 --> 00:06:46.586
  • But if you fell out sick and got up and the sickness has been
  • 00:06:46.586 --> 00:06:49.722
  • Removed, then--i look at the anointing based on how you get
  • 00:06:49.722 --> 00:06:53.092
  • Up rather than you fell out.
  • 00:06:53.092 --> 00:06:59.866
  • Somebody shout, "glory."
  • 00:07:03.402 --> 00:07:07.039
  • Say it again, "glory."
  • 00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:10.009
  • "why do you got us saying that?"
  • 00:07:10.009 --> 00:07:11.377
  • 'cause that's what you're about to encounter.
  • 00:07:11.377 --> 00:07:13.579
  • No, no, no, not--maybe here, but in your living.
  • 00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:17.083
  • Taffi and i are convinced it's in your living.
  • 00:07:17.083 --> 00:07:19.886
  • It's not come to church and like a circus.
  • 00:07:19.886 --> 00:07:22.755
  • "let's see where the circus is at."
  • 00:07:22.755 --> 00:07:24.090
  • No, no, no.
  • 00:07:24.090 --> 00:07:25.424
  • In your living, in your living, in your living it will--you got
  • 00:07:25.424 --> 00:07:28.561
  • To live this.
  • 00:07:28.561 --> 00:07:29.929
  • It's jesus in your getting up, and jesus in your getting
  • 00:07:29.929 --> 00:07:33.032
  • Dressed, and your jesus going to work, and your jesus being
  • 00:07:33.032 --> 00:07:36.168
  • Around hellish people, and your jesus, you know, driving in the
  • 00:07:36.168 --> 00:07:39.739
  • Car, and your jesus walking to lunch.
  • 00:07:39.739 --> 00:07:41.874
  • It's your jesus encountering all--being slandered.
  • 00:07:41.874 --> 00:07:44.810
  • It's your jesus when they messing with you.
  • 00:07:44.810 --> 00:07:46.612
  • It's your jesus--it's living your jesus when the money ain't
  • 00:07:46.612 --> 00:07:49.715
  • Right, when you got to figure out how to pay the bill.
  • 00:07:49.715 --> 00:07:51.784
  • It's living with him in all of those situations.
  • 00:07:51.784 --> 00:07:55.154
  • It's a daily fellowship with jesus and you believing what you
  • 00:07:55.154 --> 00:08:01.327
  • Believe who jesus is that causes maturity and growth in
  • 00:08:01.327 --> 00:08:04.997
  • Your life.
  • 00:08:04.997 --> 00:08:06.465
  • It's not coming to church to see, "oh, let's see if we going
  • 00:08:06.465 --> 00:08:08.334
  • To see some--what show we got today?"
  • 00:08:08.334 --> 00:08:12.605
  • Man, i ain't--i don't do shows.
  • 00:08:12.605 --> 00:08:16.509
  • You don't really--this is--i don't think it's hard, but
  • 00:08:16.509 --> 00:08:21.147
  • You--somebody say, "well, we come to church to worship
  • 00:08:25.284 --> 00:08:27.019
  • The lord."
  • 00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:28.354
  • I see what you're saying, you know, as long as--but real
  • 00:08:28.354 --> 00:08:30.523
  • Worship takes place when--outside the church.
  • 00:08:30.523 --> 00:08:34.760
  • It's like when you leave here and you got to go home to a
  • 00:08:34.760 --> 00:08:39.065
  • Husband or a wife or--and some children and you got a job to do
  • 00:08:39.065 --> 00:08:43.669
  • And you got, you know, wife duties to carry out and you got
  • 00:08:43.669 --> 00:08:47.506
  • All that stuff going on.
  • 00:08:47.506 --> 00:08:49.875
  • You come here to get built up so when you go out there you can
  • 00:08:49.875 --> 00:08:55.481
  • Worship god, and that means, "lord, do through me and with me
  • 00:08:55.481 --> 00:08:59.719
  • What you want to do."
  • 00:08:59.719 --> 00:09:01.520
  • And worship takes place where you're like, "okay, god, i'm
  • 00:09:01.520 --> 00:09:04.390
  • Your instrument.
  • 00:09:04.390 --> 00:09:05.725
  • What do you want me to do?
  • 00:09:05.725 --> 00:09:07.093
  • Oh, lord, that--just say that to me.
  • 00:09:07.093 --> 00:09:08.427
  • Let me--how do you want to use me?
  • 00:09:08.427 --> 00:09:09.795
  • How do you want to use me, lord?
  • 00:09:09.795 --> 00:09:11.130
  • How do you want to use me?"
  • 00:09:11.130 --> 00:09:12.498
  • That's where the worshiping takes place.
  • 00:09:12.498 --> 00:09:13.833
  • It's like when i went yesterday to get me a veggie bowl.
  • 00:09:13.833 --> 00:09:17.003
  • I really wanted some--to go to sprout to get cookies, but the
  • 00:09:17.003 --> 00:09:19.939
  • Lord helped me.
  • 00:09:19.939 --> 00:09:23.976
  • And the service was just so excruciating hard and i stood
  • 00:09:23.976 --> 00:09:33.953
  • There fighting me 'cause i knew if i can control my mouth i can
  • 00:09:33.953 --> 00:09:41.794
  • Control everything else, and i just wanted to say something.
  • 00:09:41.794 --> 00:09:48.367
  • "i'm just standing here.
  • 00:09:48.367 --> 00:09:50.102
  • Everything ready.
  • 00:09:50.102 --> 00:09:51.604
  • I'm standing here.
  • 00:09:51.604 --> 00:09:53.205
  • All i got to do is tap my card and we can go.
  • 00:09:53.205 --> 00:09:56.008
  • Why won't you sa--"
  • 00:09:56.008 --> 00:10:05.818
  • And i thought, "no matter what,
  • 00:10:05.818 --> 00:10:09.155
  • You control this tongue because this is worship.
  • 00:10:09.155 --> 00:10:12.024
  • This is worship."
  • 00:10:15.494 --> 00:10:18.297
  • And the reason why i mix it with songs, 'cause sometimes you got
  • 00:10:18.297 --> 00:10:20.700
  • To sing a song to help you through what god trying to get
  • 00:10:20.700 --> 00:10:25.705
  • You to do in a pressure situation.
  • 00:10:25.705 --> 00:10:31.243
  • And when she finally got it, i made sure to say it very clearly
  • 00:10:31.243 --> 00:10:39.085
  • And with kindness, "thank you so much for your service."
  • 00:10:39.085 --> 00:10:47.393
  • Now, my head was like, "as crappy as it was, thank you so
  • 00:10:47.393 --> 00:10:52.364
  • Much for your service."
  • 00:10:52.364 --> 00:10:53.833
  • Now, some of you would think, "well, i'm not going to give
  • 00:10:53.833 --> 00:10:56.035
  • A tip, i'm not--"
  • 00:10:56.035 --> 00:10:57.403
  • No, that ain't right 'cause worship is looking beyond
  • 00:10:57.403 --> 00:11:02.274
  • What you feel like and asking god for some empathy for, "maybe
  • 00:11:02.274 --> 00:11:06.946
  • Something happened that's kind of, you know, messing with her
  • 00:11:06.946 --> 00:11:10.716
  • Day and i still need to be a blessing to her."
  • 00:11:10.716 --> 00:11:14.553
  • That's worship, ladies and gentlemen.
  • 00:11:14.553 --> 00:11:18.624
  • The circus should no longer be in church.
  • 00:11:18.624 --> 00:11:21.827
  • I have put out all the clowns and got rid of all of the circus
  • 00:11:21.827 --> 00:11:25.464
  • Acts so you can come here and get built up and have some for
  • 00:11:25.464 --> 00:11:28.968
  • Real church so when you go out there where it matters your
  • 00:11:28.968 --> 00:11:32.772
  • Light will shine to such a point.
  • 00:11:32.772 --> 00:11:35.040
  • Now, you are not the light, jesus is the light, but we want
  • 00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:38.944
  • To see that light in you.
  • 00:11:38.944 --> 00:11:42.081
  • "well, mmm, mmm, okay, i'll try."
  • 00:11:45.785 --> 00:11:53.893
  • I'll try is an honest lie.
  • 00:11:53.893 --> 00:11:56.595
  • "you coming to church this morning?"
  • 00:11:56.595 --> 00:11:57.963
  • "i'll try."
  • 00:11:57.963 --> 00:11:59.298
  • You know you ain't coming, it was a honest lie.
  • 00:11:59.298 --> 00:12:02.067
  • He said, "i say unto thee, that thou art a peter.
  • 00:12:02.067 --> 00:12:05.671
  • And upon this revelation of jesus being the christ--i'm
  • 00:12:05.671 --> 00:12:15.347
  • Going to build my church on the revelation of jesus being the
  • 00:12:15.347 --> 00:12:21.453
  • Christ, the revelation of jesus being righteous, the revelation
  • 00:12:21.453 --> 00:12:27.827
  • Of jesus being holy and pure.
  • 00:12:27.827 --> 00:12:31.864
  • I'm going to build my church on jesus."
  • 00:12:31.864 --> 00:12:36.001
  • And notice what he says.
  • 00:12:36.001 --> 00:12:37.336
  • "and the gates of hell shall not prevail against--"
  • 00:12:37.336 --> 00:12:45.611
  • All right, against it.
  • 00:12:45.611 --> 00:12:47.813
  • It what, the church or the revelation of christ?
  • 00:12:47.813 --> 00:12:53.652
  • The devil is not going to prevail against the revelation
  • 00:12:53.652 --> 00:12:56.388
  • You get of christ, which is why taffi and i are trying to preach
  • 00:12:56.388 --> 00:12:59.491
  • It with our hair on fire.
  • 00:12:59.491 --> 00:13:01.827
  • Jesus.
  • 00:13:01.827 --> 00:13:03.162
  • It's jesus.
  • 00:13:03.162 --> 00:13:04.530
  • Don't waste your time with these silly, little revelations
  • 00:13:04.530 --> 00:13:06.432
  • About nothing.
  • 00:13:06.432 --> 00:13:09.235
  • Get your focus on the revelation of jesus.
  • 00:13:09.235 --> 00:13:11.904
  • "when baby need a pair of shoes, it's jesus that i'm going to
  • 00:13:11.904 --> 00:13:14.807
  • Stand on."
  • 00:13:14.807 --> 00:13:16.175
  • "look, i got a light bill due."
  • 00:13:16.175 --> 00:13:17.509
  • Jesus.
  • 00:13:17.509 --> 00:13:18.844
  • You even got a gas bill due.
  • 00:13:18.844 --> 00:13:20.212
  • Jesus.
  • 00:13:20.212 --> 00:13:21.547
  • "doctor said i'm sick."
  • 00:13:21.547 --> 00:13:22.915
  • Jesus, jesus.
  • 00:13:22.915 --> 00:13:24.250
  • "jesus is my way in, jesus is my way out.
  • 00:13:24.250 --> 00:13:26.252
  • Jesus is my healing, he's my deliverance.
  • 00:13:26.252 --> 00:13:28.320
  • He's my financier."
  • 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:32.358
  • The gates of hell won't prevail against that, but some
  • 00:13:32.358 --> 00:13:36.929
  • Crackerjack principle from some life coach, "i tell you the
  • 00:13:36.929 --> 00:13:40.766
  • Gates of hell might knock that down."
  • 00:13:40.766 --> 00:13:43.569
  • Might not be the gates of hell, might be jesus will knock
  • 00:13:43.569 --> 00:13:45.604
  • That down.
  • 00:13:45.604 --> 00:13:49.074
  • Technology is interesting, but don't let technology come
  • 00:13:49.074 --> 00:13:52.845
  • Between you and jesus and don't allow technology to think it can
  • 00:13:52.845 --> 00:13:57.716
  • Take jesus's place.
  • 00:13:57.716 --> 00:14:01.020
  • We're about to enter into the next 2 or 3 years of some of the
  • 00:14:01.020 --> 00:14:05.624
  • Most technological advances that this country has ever seen
  • 00:14:05.624 --> 00:14:09.728
  • Before, but you got to make sure you know how to use it so it
  • 00:14:09.728 --> 00:14:14.433
  • Don't use you.
  • 00:14:14.433 --> 00:14:18.804
  • I love--i got--just got to mention verse 19 just so
  • 00:14:22.875 --> 00:14:25.811
  • You'll know.
  • 00:14:25.811 --> 00:14:27.146
  • "and," with this revelation of jesus, "i'm going to give you
  • 00:14:27.146 --> 00:14:32.418
  • The keys to the kingdom of heaven and whatever you forbid
  • 00:14:32.418 --> 00:14:38.891
  • On earth," bind, "shall be forbidden in heaven and
  • 00:14:38.891 --> 00:14:46.265
  • Whatsoever you shall permit on the earth," or loose on the
  • 00:14:46.265 --> 00:14:53.706
  • Earth, "shall be permitted in heaven."
  • 00:14:53.706 --> 00:14:58.277
  • He now says, "i give you the right to exercise the authority
  • 00:14:58.277 --> 00:15:05.351
  • Of jesus while you're living this grace life."
  • 00:15:05.351 --> 00:15:11.357
  • Every now and then you need to let the devil know who he
  • 00:15:15.527 --> 00:15:17.730
  • Dealing with.
  • 00:15:17.730 --> 00:15:19.898
  • Like, "bro, i'm just not some little scrub christian living
  • 00:15:19.898 --> 00:15:22.568
  • Down here.
  • 00:15:22.568 --> 00:15:24.103
  • You know who i am?
  • 00:15:24.103 --> 00:15:26.538
  • I am a son of the most high god.
  • 00:15:26.538 --> 00:15:30.242
  • And by the blood of jesus he's accepted me into this sonship,
  • 00:15:30.242 --> 00:15:35.080
  • Which means i have access to the anointing of the anointed one.
  • 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:42.488
  • And, in fact, if you really want to know the truth, the anointed
  • 00:15:42.488 --> 00:15:45.691
  • One allow me to be part of the anointed ones and i can execute
  • 00:15:45.691 --> 00:15:52.731
  • Authority on this planet and i don't have to do it 100 times.
  • 00:15:52.731 --> 00:15:56.568
  • I already know who i am.
  • 00:15:56.568 --> 00:15:58.937
  • I trust jesus."
  • 00:15:58.937 --> 00:16:01.340
  • So he's given you a name above every name.
  • 00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:05.411
  • Jesus.
  • 00:16:05.411 --> 00:16:06.912
  • But some people don't--you don't have enough to--for the name
  • 00:16:06.912 --> 00:16:09.982
  • To work.
  • 00:16:09.982 --> 00:16:11.316
  • You just articulate it because you read about, "well, in the
  • 00:16:11.316 --> 00:16:13.585
  • Name of jesus this, and in the name of jesus that."
  • 00:16:13.585 --> 00:16:15.721
  • But you really don't believe it because your foundation has been
  • 00:16:15.721 --> 00:16:20.259
  • Destroyed and you don't know that he is the christ, the son
  • 00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:26.298
  • Of the living god.
  • 00:16:26.298 --> 00:16:28.801
  • Say it three times: "i'm the righteousness of god."
  • 00:16:28.801 --> 00:16:33.005
  • You believe it?
  • 00:16:36.408 --> 00:16:37.943
  • Well, praise god for that.
  • 00:16:37.943 --> 00:16:39.278
  • I believe i'm the righteousness of god.
  • 00:16:39.278 --> 00:16:41.046
  • Now, let's go to 1 corinthians chapter 3 and verse 10 and 11 in
  • 00:16:44.249 --> 00:16:50.089
  • The nlt, 1 corinthians chapter 3:10 and 11 in the nlt.
  • 00:16:50.089 --> 00:16:55.627
  • Verse 10 says, "because of god's grace to me--" wow.
  • 00:16:55.627 --> 00:17:01.233
  • Because of god's grace to me--this grace, this unmerited,
  • 00:17:01.233 --> 00:17:08.640
  • Abounding provision in the operation of his unrestrained,
  • 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:12.945
  • Infinite love that functions through jesus christ for
  • 00:17:12.945 --> 00:17:16.248
  • Mankind, especially for those who depend on him, this
  • 00:17:16.248 --> 00:17:21.520
  • Operation of his love because of this operation, he said to me,
  • 00:17:21.520 --> 00:17:26.625
  • "i have laid the foundation like an expert builder.
  • 00:17:26.625 --> 00:17:31.730
  • Now others are building on it.
  • 00:17:31.730 --> 00:17:34.299
  • But whoever is building on this foundation must be
  • 00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:39.037
  • Very careful."
  • 00:17:39.037 --> 00:17:40.372
  • Verse 11, "for no one can lay any foundation other than the
  • 00:17:40.372 --> 00:17:47.146
  • One we already have laid, jesus christ."
  • 00:17:47.146 --> 00:17:56.321
  • And many will come, many have already come, to try to love--to
  • 00:17:56.321 --> 00:18:00.692
  • Try to lay other foundations.
  • 00:18:00.692 --> 00:18:02.227
  • The foundation is jesus.
  • 00:18:02.227 --> 00:18:04.363
  • I said the foundation is jesus.
  • 00:18:04.363 --> 00:18:09.067
  • In him, we move.
  • 00:18:07.099 --> 00:18:10.402
  • In him, we breathe.
  • 00:18:10.402 --> 00:18:11.770
  • In him, we have our very being.
  • 00:18:11.770 --> 00:18:14.339
  • Our foundation will only shake if it has been built on
  • 00:18:14.339 --> 00:18:20.512
  • Something other than christ himself, and that's what it's
  • 00:18:20.512 --> 00:18:24.816
  • Got to be about, folk.
  • 00:18:24.816 --> 00:18:26.251
  • That's got--that's what it's got to be about in our lives and in
  • 00:18:26.251 --> 00:18:28.987
  • Everything that we cover.
  • 00:18:28.987 --> 00:18:30.322
  • Now, the old covenant.
  • 00:18:30.322 --> 00:18:31.690
  • Let's go there just for a moment.
  • 00:18:31.690 --> 00:18:33.025
  • Let's look at this other foundation, this foundation that
  • 00:18:33.025 --> 00:18:37.462
  • Is probably--or would probably be declared self-righteousness,
  • 00:18:37.462 --> 00:18:40.766
  • A foundation that's based on performance.
  • 00:18:40.766 --> 00:18:42.701
  • In other words, you--for many years a lot of us thought the
  • 00:18:42.701 --> 00:18:46.471
  • Foundation was what we do, and obedience was the foundation.
  • 00:18:46.471 --> 00:18:52.511
  • "yeah, i'll do that, lord.
  • 00:18:52.511 --> 00:18:54.279
  • You know, obedience is the foundation, and i got to obey, i
  • 00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:59.318
  • Got to obey, i got to obey, i got to obey."
  • 00:18:59.318 --> 00:19:01.186
  • And i know this is freaking you out because all your life--we've
  • 00:19:01.186 --> 00:19:03.021
  • All heard that.
  • 00:19:03.021 --> 00:19:04.389
  • "i got to obey.
  • 00:19:04.389 --> 00:19:05.724
  • I got to obey."
  • 00:19:05.724 --> 00:19:07.092
  • Because we felt like obedience--"my obedience to the
  • 00:19:07.092 --> 00:19:09.595
  • Law, my performance where the law is concerned, my obedience
  • 00:19:09.595 --> 00:19:13.332
  • To the law, my performance to where the law is concerned," it
  • 00:19:13.332 --> 00:19:16.335
  • Now becomes your foundation and that foundation is based in
  • 00:19:16.335 --> 00:19:20.205
  • Self-righteousness and based in performance.
  • 00:19:20.205 --> 00:19:23.942
  • But very few people recognize that that was adjusted even
  • 00:19:23.942 --> 00:19:27.412
  • In--go to romans chapter 1 and 5. in the new covenant, there is
  • 00:19:27.412 --> 00:19:33.652
  • Something--a phrase that is mentioned at least twice in the
  • 00:19:33.652 --> 00:19:37.456
  • New covenant that is the phrase obedience to the faith.
  • 00:19:37.456 --> 00:19:43.328
  • There's obedience to the law--the mosaic law, but in the
  • 00:19:43.328 --> 00:19:47.099
  • New covenant there is obedience to the faith.
  • 00:19:47.099 --> 00:19:54.439
  • He says, "through christ, god has given us the privilege and
  • 00:19:54.439 --> 00:19:57.843
  • The authority as apostles to tell gentiles everywhere what
  • 00:19:57.843 --> 00:20:02.114
  • God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him,
  • 00:20:02.114 --> 00:20:08.654
  • Bringing glory to his name."
  • 00:20:08.654 --> 00:20:10.589
  • Go to the king james.
  • 00:20:10.589 --> 00:20:12.924
  • I want them to see this phrase.
  • 00:20:12.924 --> 00:20:15.093
  • "by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience
  • 00:20:15.093 --> 00:20:20.065
  • To the faith--" what is that?
  • 00:20:20.065 --> 00:20:23.869
  • Obedience to the faith is simply believing what jesus
  • 00:20:23.869 --> 00:20:30.776
  • Has finished.
  • 00:20:30.776 --> 00:20:33.178
  • When you believe the finished works of jesus, you are being
  • 00:20:33.178 --> 00:20:39.017
  • Obedient to the faith.
  • 00:20:39.017 --> 00:20:41.753
  • Obedience to the faith is just believing.
  • 00:20:41.753 --> 00:20:44.589
  • It's--watch this.
  • 00:20:44.589 --> 00:20:45.924
  • It's right believing.
  • 00:20:45.924 --> 00:20:47.826
  • Obedience to the faith is right believing; and that freaks
  • 00:20:47.826 --> 00:20:51.229
  • People out because now you having to move from obedience to
  • 00:20:51.229 --> 00:20:54.399
  • The law where you're performing and doing something, okay,
  • 00:20:54.399 --> 00:20:59.638
  • Versus obedience to faith where you are believing right
  • 00:20:59.638 --> 00:21:04.009
  • According to what jesus has finished, and that continues to
  • 00:21:04.009 --> 00:21:08.513
  • Be a struggle amongst christian people as we make the switch to
  • 00:21:08.513 --> 00:21:14.353
  • Understanding this new covenant.
  • 00:21:14.353 --> 00:21:16.321
  • This is the new covenant, and under the new covenant we
  • 00:21:16.321 --> 00:21:19.591
  • Are--no, the new covenant does not require obedience to your
  • 00:21:19.591 --> 00:21:25.063
  • Performance of the law to do good to get good.
  • 00:21:25.063 --> 00:21:30.435
  • Under the new covenant it is obedience to faith or right
  • 00:21:30.435 --> 00:21:35.173
  • Believing to receive what jesus has already done.
  • 00:21:35.173 --> 00:21:40.812
  • It's already done.
  • 00:21:40.812 --> 00:21:42.381
  • Your healing is already done.
  • 00:21:42.381 --> 00:21:43.782
  • Your deliverance is already done.
  • 00:21:43.782 --> 00:21:45.951
  • It's already done.
  • 00:21:45.951 --> 00:21:47.786
  • But if you under the new covenant start operating by
  • 00:21:47.786 --> 00:21:50.722
  • Obedience to the law, what you're going to do is, "i'm
  • 00:21:50.722 --> 00:21:53.859
  • Going to obey by performing," and you will frustrate the grace
  • 00:21:53.859 --> 00:21:59.731
  • Of god.
  • 00:21:59.731 --> 00:22:02.534
  • Obedience to the faith, "i believe in jesus.
  • 00:22:02.534 --> 00:22:06.805
  • I believe i'm the righteousness of god.
  • 00:22:06.805 --> 00:22:09.207
  • I believe that i'm healed.
  • 00:22:09.207 --> 00:22:11.243
  • I believe that i am holy.
  • 00:22:11.243 --> 00:22:13.812
  • I believe--" it's right believing.
  • 00:22:13.812 --> 00:22:18.583
  • And then what do you do when you got that obedience to the
  • 00:22:18.583 --> 00:22:21.319
  • Faith right?
  • 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:22.654
  • "i am resting in what jesus has done.
  • 00:22:22.654 --> 00:22:26.525
  • I am resting in who jesus is, and i am resting in what jesus
  • 00:22:26.525 --> 00:22:31.463
  • Has done."
  • 00:22:31.463 --> 00:22:32.831
  • So what is--where is the church right now?
  • 00:22:32.831 --> 00:22:34.199
  • The church right now has been saturated in performance-based
  • 00:22:34.199 --> 00:22:40.872
  • Religion, and the mosaic law is a performance-based law.
  • 00:22:40.872 --> 00:22:47.312
  • Check it out yourself.
  • 00:22:47.312 --> 00:22:48.647
  • It's all about, "and if you do, and if you do, and if you do,
  • 00:22:48.647 --> 00:22:52.184
  • And if you do.
  • 00:22:52.184 --> 00:22:53.552
  • And if you do this, then you'll get this.
  • 00:22:53.552 --> 00:22:54.953
  • And if you do this, then you will get this."
  • 00:22:54.953 --> 00:22:56.955
  • And then you move on down in verse 28 it says, "now, let me
  • 00:22:56.955 --> 00:22:59.724
  • Show you what--if you don't do it.
  • 00:22:59.724 --> 00:23:01.059
  • If you don't do it, then this going to happen to you.
  • 00:23:01.059 --> 00:23:03.462
  • And if you don't do it, then this curse will come on to you.
  • 00:23:03.462 --> 00:23:06.064
  • And if you don't do it--" so the old test--the old covenant of
  • 00:23:06.064 --> 00:23:09.534
  • The law is based on if you do, then you'll get blessed; if you
  • 00:23:09.534 --> 00:23:15.440
  • Don't do, then you'll get cursed.
  • 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:17.943
  • And jesus said, "this is too flawless for fallen people
  • 00:23:17.943 --> 00:23:24.115
  • To keep."
  • 00:23:24.115 --> 00:23:25.484
  • Announcer: do you know who you are?
  • 00:23:29.287 --> 00:23:30.755
