  • Creflo dollar: and the only capacity for the devil to get a
  • 00:00:12.314 --> 00:00:16.785
  • Hold of you is through your soul because it has a bit of
  • 00:00:16.785 --> 00:00:20.956
  • Advantage because when your old nature was there, it created the
  • 00:00:20.956 --> 00:00:27.196
  • Software in your soul and the impulses of your soul minister
  • 00:00:27.196 --> 00:00:33.502
  • To your body to carry it out.
  • 00:00:33.502 --> 00:00:36.105

  • 00:00:36.105 --> 00:00:43.078
  • So, if you don't deal with the software, you're not gonna be
  • 00:00:43.078 --> 00:00:47.015
  • Able to change the impulses of your life or your body.

  • Creflo: this morning i want to talk to you about victory over
  • 00:02:00.622 --> 00:02:04.159
  • Sinful behavior.
  • 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.863
  • We talked about some things last week, it was pretty radical, but
  • 00:02:07.863 --> 00:02:12.000
  • Now we do wanna focus in on the action piece and show you why
  • 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:18.307
  • And how to gain victory over it.
  • 00:02:18.307 --> 00:02:23.078
  • Let's begin this morning in 2 corinthians chapter 5 and verse
  • 00:02:23.078 --> 00:02:26.448
  • 17 and then galatians chapter 2 and 20 and establish some
  • 00:02:26.448 --> 00:02:31.453
  • Things here.
  • 00:02:31.453 --> 00:02:33.088
  • Galatians 5 and 17.
  • 00:02:33.088 --> 00:02:35.123
  • He says, "therefore if any man be in christ," so something
  • 00:02:35.123 --> 00:02:39.094
  • Happens when you get born again and you get in christ, "he is a
  • 00:02:39.094 --> 00:02:42.664
  • New creature."
  • 00:02:42.664 --> 00:02:44.199
  • So, when you get born again, the old man passes away and you are
  • 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:50.539
  • Gifted with the new creation that now lives in you.
  • 00:02:50.539 --> 00:02:56.211
  • "he is a new creature: the old things have passed away; behold,
  • 00:02:56.211 --> 00:03:01.350
  • All things have become new."
  • 00:03:01.350 --> 00:03:02.985
  • What passed away, what died, when you got born again?
  • 00:03:02.985 --> 00:03:08.023
  • Your old nature, the sin nature, passed.
  • 00:03:08.023 --> 00:03:12.361
  • That nature that allowed you to do all kinds of ungodly crazy
  • 00:03:12.361 --> 00:03:16.131
  • Things, it left.
  • 00:03:16.131 --> 00:03:17.933
  • You now have a new nature and, behold, with this new nature,
  • 00:03:17.933 --> 00:03:23.805
  • That new nature is perfect, flawless, cannot sin, just
  • 00:03:23.805 --> 00:03:27.876
  • Like god.
  • 00:03:27.876 --> 00:03:29.778
  • And it's trying to get us to understand how to allow him the
  • 00:03:29.778 --> 00:03:34.016
  • Freedom to impact a soul that has been infected by that old
  • 00:03:34.016 --> 00:03:43.091
  • Man, thus impacting a body that follows the impulses of that
  • 00:03:43.091 --> 00:03:49.064
  • Old man.
  • 00:03:49.064 --> 00:03:50.565
  • So you see, you can buy a brand new computer and keep the same
  • 00:03:50.565 --> 00:03:53.969
  • Software and you're gonna get the same output.
  • 00:03:53.969 --> 00:03:58.140
  • So, it's--so, likewise, you got a brand new creation but you
  • 00:03:58.140 --> 00:04:02.444
  • Can't keep the same software or you gonna keep getting the same
  • 00:04:02.444 --> 00:04:06.815
  • Impulses and outputs.
  • 00:04:06.815 --> 00:04:08.684
  • Does everybody understand that?
  • 00:04:08.684 --> 00:04:10.352
  • All right, now go to galatians chapter 2 and 20.
  • 00:04:10.352 --> 00:04:13.789
  • Galatians 2 and 20.
  • 00:04:13.789 --> 00:04:17.125
  • And here's what he says.
  • 00:04:17.125 --> 00:04:18.493
  • "i am crucified with christ: nevertheless i live; yet not i,"
  • 00:04:18.493 --> 00:04:25.300
  • I'm not living anymore, but it's christ that's living in me.
  • 00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:29.338
  • So, that new creation is literally god in you, god in
  • 00:04:29.338 --> 00:04:35.577
  • Flesh, glory to god.
  • 00:04:35.577 --> 00:04:37.312
  • Again, he is living in you, "and the life which i now live in the
  • 00:04:37.312 --> 00:04:43.051
  • Flesh," he says, "i live by the faith of the son of god, who
  • 00:04:43.051 --> 00:04:47.022
  • Loved me, and he gave himself for me."
  • 00:04:47.022 --> 00:04:52.894
  • And then in 2 peter chapter 1 and 4, 2 peter chapter 1 and 4.
  • 00:04:52.894 --> 00:05:00.068
  • Oh boy.
  • 00:05:00.068 --> 00:05:03.105
  • He says, "whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious
  • 00:05:03.105 --> 00:05:07.609
  • Promises," colon.
  • 00:05:07.609 --> 00:05:09.378
  • Now, watch him finish this.
  • 00:05:09.378 --> 00:05:11.413
  • "that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature,"
  • 00:05:11.413 --> 00:05:15.384
  • Underline "partakers of the divine nature."
  • 00:05:15.384 --> 00:05:18.353
  • What is he talking about?
  • 00:05:18.353 --> 00:05:19.721
  • You are now going to partake of that--of the new creation that's
  • 00:05:19.721 --> 00:05:24.192
  • On the inside of you.
  • 00:05:24.192 --> 00:05:25.761
  • The new creature on the inside of you, he says, he wants you to
  • 00:05:25.761 --> 00:05:30.465
  • Be a partaker of the new creation of--and he calls it the
  • 00:05:30.465 --> 00:05:34.770
  • Divine nature, the god nature.
  • 00:05:34.770 --> 00:05:37.406
  • The nature you have after you get born again is the god nature
  • 00:05:37.406 --> 00:05:41.176
  • And he wants you to be a partaker of it.
  • 00:05:41.176 --> 00:05:43.111
  • And then he tells us how.
  • 00:05:43.111 --> 00:05:45.080
  • He says, "through the precious promises," and i never got that.
  • 00:05:45.080 --> 00:05:48.683
  • Basically, what he was saying was, "if you're gonna be a
  • 00:05:48.683 --> 00:05:51.153
  • Partaker of this divine nature, the precious promises of god are
  • 00:05:51.153 --> 00:05:55.223
  • Gonna have to do something with that software," so you can be a
  • 00:05:55.223 --> 00:05:59.294
  • Partaker of the divine nature.
  • 00:05:59.294 --> 00:06:01.563
  • You have a divine nature that you're supposed to be being a
  • 00:06:01.563 --> 00:06:03.932
  • Partaker of, and then he says, "you can escape the corruption
  • 00:06:03.932 --> 00:06:08.136
  • That is in the world through the intense lust."
  • 00:06:08.136 --> 00:06:15.577
  • Now follow me carefully.
  • 00:06:15.577 --> 00:06:18.780
  • Fish swim because it's their nature.
  • 00:06:18.780 --> 00:06:28.156
  • Birds fly because it's their nature.
  • 00:06:28.156 --> 00:06:36.264
  • I mean, if we tried to fly--i mean, just think about it.
  • 00:06:36.264 --> 00:06:38.633
  • If we climbed on top of this roof and if we tried to fly, we
  • 00:06:38.633 --> 00:06:41.603
  • Would quickly find out that's not our nature.
  • 00:06:41.603 --> 00:06:48.043
  • Are you following me?
  • 00:06:48.043 --> 00:06:50.278
  • Alright, now watch this.
  • 00:06:50.278 --> 00:06:51.980
  • People who are not born again, people who are not saved,
  • 00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:56.051
  • Sinners, they're called, they sin because it's their nature.
  • 00:06:56.051 --> 00:07:04.159
  • Before you got born again, what you did and how you behaved, you
  • 00:07:04.159 --> 00:07:08.897
  • Did it because that was your nature.
  • 00:07:08.897 --> 00:07:12.434
  • How many of you know you can't turn a mule into a racehorse?
  • 00:07:12.434 --> 00:07:17.239
  • Why?
  • 00:07:17.239 --> 00:07:18.607
  • Because they have two different natures.
  • 00:07:18.607 --> 00:07:22.043
  • And in the same way that sinners sin because it's their nature,
  • 00:07:22.043 --> 00:07:30.085
  • Righteous people live righteously because that is our
  • 00:07:30.085 --> 00:07:35.357
  • New nature as new creations.
  • 00:07:35.357 --> 00:07:39.094
  • So, we have the nature, the new nature of god, to live
  • 00:07:39.094 --> 00:07:45.867
  • Righteously and it can be done because it is our nature to do
  • 00:07:45.867 --> 00:07:52.107
  • Right, and when we don't, you somehow experience the impulses
  • 00:07:52.107 --> 00:07:57.612
  • Of that new creation on the inside of you.
  • 00:07:57.612 --> 00:08:00.115
  • You're a born again christian, you just cuss somebody out, now
  • 00:08:00.115 --> 00:08:03.785
  • You feeling some kind of way, why?
  • 00:08:03.785 --> 00:08:05.287
  • You didn't used to feel that kind of way when you was cussing
  • 00:08:05.287 --> 00:08:07.489
  • Somebody out.
  • 00:08:07.489 --> 00:08:08.823
  • You cussed them out, said, "i'd do it again if they showed up,"
  • 00:08:08.823 --> 00:08:11.092
  • But now you got a new nature that's sending these impulses
  • 00:08:11.092 --> 00:08:16.031
  • That say, "i don't feel right about that."
  • 00:08:16.031 --> 00:08:22.304
  • So, now you experience guilt because there's a contradiction
  • 00:08:22.304 --> 00:08:28.476
  • That's living inside of you now.
  • 00:08:28.476 --> 00:08:30.278
  • Your behavior from your own nature is contradicting your
  • 00:08:30.278 --> 00:08:37.085
  • New creation.
  • 00:08:37.085 --> 00:08:40.221
  • So, you might do it, but you're not gonna ever be able to do it
  • 00:08:40.221 --> 00:08:43.858
  • Again without having to sense that contradiction.
  • 00:08:43.858 --> 00:08:49.464
  • Somebody say, "praise the lord."
  • 00:08:49.464 --> 00:08:52.834
  • That is--and i go back and forth with this, but that is a--an
  • 00:08:52.834 --> 00:08:57.706
  • Interesting way to confirm that you got a new nature in you.
  • 00:08:57.706 --> 00:09:04.813
  • You have a new nature in you that is not going to agree with
  • 00:09:04.813 --> 00:09:10.218
  • The contradiction, praise god.
  • 00:09:10.218 --> 00:09:14.022
  • A new nature.
  • 00:09:14.022 --> 00:09:15.857
  • Now listen to me carefully as we continue to work on this, to
  • 00:09:15.857 --> 00:09:18.994
  • Break this down.
  • 00:09:18.994 --> 00:09:20.996
  • We--yeah, let me say this.
  • 00:09:20.996 --> 00:09:27.035
  • The grace of god is not the license to sin.
  • 00:09:27.035 --> 00:09:30.205
  • And the reason why the grace of god is not the license to sin is
  • 00:09:30.205 --> 00:09:33.541
  • Because of the new nature.
  • 00:09:33.541 --> 00:09:34.909
  • The new nature is trying to get you to live right.
  • 00:09:34.909 --> 00:09:39.781
  • You're the righteousness of god.
  • 00:09:39.781 --> 00:09:41.116
  • Now, this is for all the people who wanna take--"you're the
  • 00:09:41.116 --> 00:09:43.752
  • Righteousness of god by grace, "but you can still sin because
  • 00:09:43.752 --> 00:09:46.988
  • God done already forgiven you."
  • 00:09:46.988 --> 00:09:49.491
  • See, that's not gonna work because even if you know you're
  • 00:09:49.491 --> 00:09:53.395
  • The righteousness of god and if you go and still sin, and you'll
  • 00:09:53.395 --> 00:09:56.865
  • Still do some things in this body, but you're gonna have to
  • 00:09:56.865 --> 00:10:00.168
  • Deal with the new nature that's trying to conquer all of that
  • 00:10:00.168 --> 00:10:06.241
  • Old stuff you got.
  • 00:10:06.241 --> 00:10:10.712
  • Look at 1 john chapter--no, before we go, let us go to
  • 00:10:10.712 --> 00:10:13.648
  • Colossians chapter 3 and verse 10.
  • 00:10:13.648 --> 00:10:18.820
  • We are now recreated in the image of god.
  • 00:10:18.820 --> 00:10:28.797
  • Now, let me tell you a truth and you can't forget it.
  • 00:10:24.426 --> 00:10:31.433
  • It's easy to wipe it out of your thinking, but what you see right
  • 00:10:31.433 --> 00:10:36.104
  • Now is the house that creflo dollar lives in, all right, and
  • 00:10:36.104 --> 00:10:41.710
  • What i see right now is the houses that you guys abide in.
  • 00:10:41.710 --> 00:10:48.149
  • So, you are not your house, you--your house is your earth
  • 00:10:48.149 --> 00:10:54.222
  • Suit, your house is your dwelling place.
  • 00:10:54.222 --> 00:10:58.159
  • You are a spirit being and that spirit being has now been
  • 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:05.266
  • Impacted by the new creation where you and god now abide in
  • 00:11:05.266 --> 00:11:10.839
  • The same place and your spirit is already been made perfect
  • 00:11:10.839 --> 00:11:15.710
  • Because god came in, you're already perfect, you're one
  • 00:11:15.710 --> 00:11:19.514
  • Third perfect.
  • 00:11:19.514 --> 00:11:22.851
  • So, the only part of you that can go to heaven is ready.
  • 00:11:22.851 --> 00:11:32.193
  • You're heaven ready right now.
  • 00:11:32.193 --> 00:11:35.063
  • Say out loud, "i'm heaven ready."
  • 00:11:35.063 --> 00:11:37.632
  • So, you are a spirit being, you have a soul, that's your mind,
  • 00:11:37.632 --> 00:11:47.342
  • Your will, your emotions, your thinking, your feeling,
  • 00:11:47.342 --> 00:11:49.144
  • Your choosing.
  • 00:11:49.144 --> 00:11:50.478
  • You have a soul.
  • 00:11:50.478 --> 00:11:51.813
  • Say out loud, "i have a soul."
  • 00:11:51.813 --> 00:11:53.314
  • So you see where we got confused in church.
  • 00:11:53.314 --> 00:11:55.750
  • We--we're using spirit and soul interchangeably as if they
  • 00:11:55.750 --> 00:12:02.724
  • Were one.
  • 00:12:02.724 --> 00:12:04.526
  • There is a distinction between your spirit and your soul.
  • 00:12:04.526 --> 00:12:08.730
  • You--your spirit is who you are, your soul is what you have, your
  • 00:12:08.730 --> 00:12:15.003
  • Body is where you live.
  • 00:12:15.003 --> 00:12:20.008
  • Y'all, come on, we--jesus might come back and we'll
  • 00:12:20.008 --> 00:12:22.544
  • Be--we ready.
  • 00:12:22.544 --> 00:12:23.912
  • I need you to know you heaven ready, so all that junk the
  • 00:12:23.912 --> 00:12:26.114
  • Devil try to tell you, you need to let him know, "bruh, are you
  • 00:12:26.114 --> 00:12:29.150
  • Talking to my house or are you talking to me?
  • 00:12:29.150 --> 00:12:32.821
  • Because if you're talking to me, i'm heaven ready."
  • 00:12:32.821 --> 00:12:37.358
  • And the only capacity for the devil to get a hold of you is
  • 00:12:37.358 --> 00:12:42.764
  • Through your soul because it has a bit of advantage because when
  • 00:12:42.764 --> 00:12:47.368
  • Your old nature was there, it created the software in your
  • 00:12:47.368 --> 00:12:53.408
  • Soul, and the impulses of your soul minister to your body to
  • 00:12:53.408 --> 00:12:59.614
  • Carry it out.
  • 00:12:59.614 --> 00:13:01.216
  • But when you got born again, you still had the same software.
  • 00:13:01.216 --> 00:13:08.089
  • So, if you don't deal with the software, you're not gonna be
  • 00:13:08.089 --> 00:13:12.093
  • Able to change the impulses of your life or your body.
  • 00:13:12.093 --> 00:13:16.130
  • Do you understand what i'm saying?
  • 00:13:16.130 --> 00:13:18.366
  • So, whatever you're doing in behavior is a result of the
  • 00:13:18.366 --> 00:13:24.138
  • Software that hadn't been changed yet.
  • 00:13:24.138 --> 00:13:28.943
  • Y'all don't hear what i'm saying.
  • 00:13:28.943 --> 00:13:31.045
  • But the software can no longer impact the real you because the
  • 00:13:31.045 --> 00:13:36.317
  • Real you is flawless, perfect, sinless in god, in christ,
  • 00:13:36.317 --> 00:13:42.357
  • Sealed with the holy ghost, and whenever you walk out your
  • 00:13:42.357 --> 00:13:45.693
  • House, you walk to heaven because you heaven ready.
  • 00:13:45.693 --> 00:13:53.067
  • Are y'all following me now?
  • 00:13:53.067 --> 00:13:55.236
  • All right, now.
  • 00:13:55.236 --> 00:13:57.238
  • If you got that piece, you're gonna be able to handle this.
  • 00:13:57.238 --> 00:13:59.107
  • If you didn't get that piece, you--you're getting ready to
  • 00:13:59.107 --> 00:14:00.875
  • Get lost.
  • 00:14:00.875 --> 00:14:03.411
  • 1 john 3--colossians 10--excuse me, yeah, colossians 3:10.
  • 00:14:03.411 --> 00:14:09.284
  • All right.
  • 00:14:09.284 --> 00:14:10.652
  • "and have put on the new man," and have put on the new man,
  • 00:14:10.652 --> 00:14:15.590
  • "which is renewed in the knowledge after the image of him
  • 00:14:15.590 --> 00:14:18.693
  • That created him."
  • 00:14:18.693 --> 00:14:20.028
  • So, the new creation you have, your new creation in god, right
  • 00:14:20.028 --> 00:14:25.133
  • There, one and one.
  • 00:14:25.133 --> 00:14:26.634
  • You have put that on.
  • 00:14:26.634 --> 00:14:28.002
  • The old is gone, you've put on the new one.
  • 00:14:28.002 --> 00:14:29.671
  • All right, now watch this.
  • 00:14:29.671 --> 00:14:31.005
  • Go to 1 john 3:8 and 9.
  • 00:14:31.005 --> 00:14:33.274
  • I'm gonna read to you a scripture
  • 00:14:33.274 --> 00:14:34.809
  • That used to bother me.
  • 00:14:34.809 --> 00:14:36.411
  • In fact, it used to scare me.
  • 00:14:36.411 --> 00:14:38.479
  • In fact, it used to bother a lot of people.
  • 00:14:38.479 --> 00:14:40.949
  • Maybe you've never read it before, but you'll see
  • 00:14:40.949 --> 00:14:43.084
  • Immediately why.
  • 00:14:43.084 --> 00:14:45.453
  • 1 john chapter 3 and 8. and it caused a lot of confusion in the
  • 00:14:45.453 --> 00:14:48.489
  • Body of christ because of lacking the understanding of
  • 00:14:48.489 --> 00:14:51.859
  • What i just took you through.
  • 00:14:51.859 --> 00:14:54.262
  • All right.
  • 00:14:54.262 --> 00:14:56.164
  • So, last week we talked about the sin man, the noun, we'll
  • 00:14:56.164 --> 00:14:59.400
  • Talk more about it today.
  • 00:14:59.400 --> 00:15:01.602
  • But today we're spending more time on the sinning behavior.
  • 00:15:01.602 --> 00:15:06.374
  • And he says, "he that committeth sin," that's verb.
  • 00:15:06.374 --> 00:15:10.812
  • "he that committed sin is of the devil."
  • 00:15:10.812 --> 00:15:14.482
  • All right, now stop.
  • 00:15:14.482 --> 00:15:15.850
  • Now you see what the problem is because now i'm saved and i
  • 00:15:15.850 --> 00:15:21.022
  • Committed a sin.
  • 00:15:21.022 --> 00:15:23.191
  • And according to this, you are of the devil.
  • 00:15:23.191 --> 00:15:26.260
  • I'm like, "oh lord, you just said i was of you and now what i
  • 00:15:26.260 --> 00:15:30.965
  • Did now makes me of the devil."
  • 00:15:30.965 --> 00:15:33.167
  • Watch now.
  • 00:15:33.167 --> 00:15:34.736
  • "for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
  • 00:15:34.736 --> 00:15:37.138
  • For this purpose the son of god was manifested, that he might
  • 00:15:37.138 --> 00:15:43.144
  • Destroy the works of the devil."
  • 00:15:43.144 --> 00:15:46.314
  • Verse 9, "whosoever is born of god does not commit sin."
  • 00:15:46.314 --> 00:15:54.322
  • You see the problem here?
  • 00:15:54.322 --> 00:15:56.391
  • You over here and did something, and then he says, "if you're
  • 00:15:56.391 --> 00:15:58.793
  • Really born of god, you don't commit sin."
  • 00:15:58.793 --> 00:16:01.729
  • But you're committing it, but you're not supposed to commit it
  • 00:16:01.729 --> 00:16:04.399
  • Because you're born of god.
  • 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:05.967
  • Well, maybe i'm not born of god, which means
  • 00:16:05.967 --> 00:16:08.369
  • Maybe i am of the devil.
  • 00:16:08.369 --> 00:16:12.206
  • Right?
  • 00:16:12.206 --> 00:16:13.541
  • You see where that can come from, right?
  • 00:16:13.541 --> 00:16:14.976
  • "whosoever is born of god doth not commit sin; for his seed
  • 00:16:14.976 --> 00:16:20.048
  • Remaineth in him: and he cannot sin," he cannot sin.
  • 00:16:20.048 --> 00:16:27.455
  • And now you're looking at you like, "yes, i can."
  • 00:16:27.455 --> 00:16:31.592
  • But he said, "he cannot sin, because he's born of god."
  • 00:16:31.592 --> 00:16:36.864
  • And so, this has been taught to tell you, you cannot sin.
  • 00:16:36.864 --> 00:16:40.802
  • Can you imagine the conviction and the condemnation and all
  • 00:16:40.802 --> 00:16:43.704
  • That stuff comes because you did not--you didn't know how to
  • 00:16:43.704 --> 00:16:46.874
  • Read this.
  • 00:16:46.874 --> 00:16:49.377
  • So, let's break it down.
  • 00:16:49.377 --> 00:16:52.380
  • The first question is, what is born of god?
  • 00:16:52.380 --> 00:16:56.084
  • It's our new creation, it is our spirit that is born of god.
  • 00:16:56.084 --> 00:17:00.254
  • When you got born again, your soul didn't get born again, your
  • 00:17:00.254 --> 00:17:04.092
  • Body didn't get born again, your spirit man got born again.
  • 00:17:04.092 --> 00:17:08.396
  • So, we are talking about the new creation, you.
  • 00:17:08.396 --> 00:17:12.433
  • We're talking about your spirit.
  • 00:17:12.433 --> 00:17:14.035
  • What is born again?
  • 00:17:14.035 --> 00:17:15.403
  • It is my spirit, it is the new creation.
  • 00:17:15.403 --> 00:17:18.206
  • So, this means that our spirit cannot sin because his seed is
  • 00:17:18.206 --> 00:17:22.844
  • In us.
  • 00:17:22.844 --> 00:17:24.378
  • It is our spirit that got born again, his seed is in our
  • 00:17:24.378 --> 00:17:29.050
  • Spirit, he's in our spirit, and your spirit man cannot sin.
  • 00:17:29.050 --> 00:17:38.292
  • It is perfect, it is flawless, it is jesus-possessed, it is
  • 00:17:38.292 --> 00:17:46.367
  • Heaven ready.
  • 00:17:46.367 --> 00:17:48.336
  • It cannot sin.
  • 00:17:48.336 --> 00:17:50.638
  • You, who are born again are walking around
  • 00:17:50.638 --> 00:17:53.908
  • One-third perfect.
  • 00:17:53.908 --> 00:18:00.181
  • The real you is your what?
  • 00:18:00.181 --> 00:18:02.316
  • Spirit, soul, or body?
  • 00:18:02.316 --> 00:18:06.120
  • The real you is your spirit.
  • 00:18:06.120 --> 00:18:08.556
  • Your spirit never desires to sin and will never sin.
  • 00:18:08.556 --> 00:18:13.194
  • This is who we really are but we treat that like, "oh, well,
  • 00:18:13.194 --> 00:18:18.199
  • That's just a fantasy.
  • 00:18:18.199 --> 00:18:19.567
  • That ain't the truth."
  • 00:18:19.567 --> 00:18:20.902
  • And you don't even know how true that is until you die.
  • 00:18:20.902 --> 00:18:25.039
  • Because when you die, the only thing--your--you gonna
  • 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:28.943
  • Move--here it is.
  • 00:18:28.943 --> 00:18:30.311
  • You're gonna move out of the house, you are now gonna
  • 00:18:30.311 --> 00:18:33.881
  • Be--gonna--you are now going to become aware of the real you,
  • 00:18:33.881 --> 00:18:39.620
  • Death is gonna be so awesome because you won't even know it
  • 00:18:39.620 --> 00:18:45.993
  • Really happened.
  • 00:18:45.993 --> 00:18:47.461
  • You're going--when you move, you're gonna step out the house
  • 00:18:47.461 --> 00:18:52.867
  • And you--if you--maybe he'll let you look back and see that's my
  • 00:18:52.867 --> 00:18:56.537
  • Body, but you're gonna literally [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:18:56.537 --> 00:19:02.810
  • You're gonna literally [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:19:02.810 --> 00:19:06.280
  • Move from one dimension to another dimension and you're
  • 00:19:06.280 --> 00:19:13.254
  • Gonna slip out of your physical dimension house into a spiritual
  • 00:19:13.254 --> 00:19:19.527
  • House with your real you and everything now is more real than
  • 00:19:19.527 --> 00:19:24.599
  • What you thought was real when you were in your physical body.
  • 00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:34.475
  • That's why you are not ever be scared of death.
  • 00:19:34.475 --> 00:19:41.382
  • And that's what the devil will put on you.
  • 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:47.722
  • Like, "ah, wait a minute.
  • 00:19:47.722 --> 00:19:50.725
  • Whether here or there"--paul said it like this.
  • 00:19:50.725 --> 00:19:53.861
  • He said, "to tell the truth, i don't know, at this point,
  • 00:19:53.861 --> 00:19:57.198
  • Whether it's gonna be more beneficial for me to stay here
  • 00:19:57.198 --> 00:19:59.267
  • With y'all or go over here where i know about it," and then you
  • 00:19:59.267 --> 00:20:04.905
  • Start looking at the world and say, "oh jesus, i need to
  • 00:20:04.905 --> 00:20:07.074
  • Stay here."
  • 00:20:07.074 --> 00:20:10.645
  • All right, now watch this.
  • 00:20:10.645 --> 00:20:12.546
  • All right, so the real you--this is so amazing.
  • 00:20:12.546 --> 00:20:18.085
  • The real you resembles your earth suit.
  • 00:20:18.085 --> 00:20:21.689
  • It's kinda like the pattern for your earth suit came from the
  • 00:20:21.689 --> 00:20:25.526
  • Real you.
  • 00:20:25.526 --> 00:20:27.161
  • I know you can't see it right now, but i gotta say it.
  • 00:20:27.161 --> 00:20:29.730
  • The pattern of this came from your real outfit.
  • 00:20:29.730 --> 00:20:33.834
  • When you--when we see one another in heaven, we're gonna
  • 00:20:33.834 --> 00:20:38.306
  • See one another at the best possible state of appearance
  • 00:20:38.306 --> 00:20:47.048
  • That we have ever seen one another, maybe in your twenties,
  • 00:20:48.783 --> 00:20:56.324
  • But you gonna look at one another like, "francine,
  • 00:20:56.324 --> 00:21:00.695
  • That's you?"
  • 00:21:00.695 --> 00:21:02.763
  • You gonna say, "girl, don't i look good?"
  • 00:21:02.763 --> 00:21:10.037
  • And that's the pattern
  • 00:21:10.037 --> 00:21:12.239
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:21:12.239 --> 00:21:13.607
  • I have evidence that's just popped in my mind.
  • 00:21:13.607 --> 00:21:15.443
  • The physical tabernacle is an exact duplicate of the
  • 00:21:15.443 --> 00:21:21.315
  • Heavenly tabernacle.
  • 00:21:21.315 --> 00:21:23.984
  • The heavenly tabernacle doesn't look like the
  • 00:21:23.984 --> 00:21:26.120
  • Physical tabernacle.
  • 00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:27.588
  • The physical tabernacle took its pattern from the heavenly
  • 00:21:27.588 --> 00:21:31.726
  • Tabernacle, just like your physical body got its pattern
  • 00:21:31.726 --> 00:21:37.531
  • From your spiritual body.
  • 00:21:37.531 --> 00:21:43.137
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:21:43.137 --> 00:21:44.939
  • We gotta be careful, boy, be--you can* be and* god wraps
  • 00:21:44.939 --> 00:21:47.108
  • It up in here.
  • 00:21:47.108 --> 00:21:48.642
  • You get to listen to this stuff, we go--.
  • 00:21:48.642 --> 00:21:50.344
  • Somebody say, "what happened?"
  • 00:21:50.344 --> 00:21:52.646
  • That'd be so cool, if god gave us two seconds to just--.
  • 00:21:52.646 --> 00:21:56.183
  • Whoa, whoa.
  • 00:21:56.183 --> 00:21:59.887
  • Do it again.
  • 00:21:59.887 --> 00:22:01.222
  • Hey!
  • 00:22:01.222 --> 00:22:02.590
  • Tear this church up.
  • 00:22:02.590 --> 00:22:03.958
  • Everybody be on--ah!
  • 00:22:03.958 --> 00:22:12.133
  • [speaking in tongues].
  • 00:22:12.133 --> 00:22:16.971
  • Now, since we are still in our bodies and in this world we
  • 00:22:16.971 --> 00:22:25.413
  • Might still sin.
  • 00:22:25.413 --> 00:22:27.314
  • There's really no might to it because 1 john 1 and 8--not
  • 00:22:27.314 --> 00:22:31.419
  • That--see, here's the thing about it.
  • 00:22:31.419 --> 00:22:33.154
  • You think you're gonna still sin the same sins.
  • 00:22:33.154 --> 00:22:40.694
  • You got new creation in you.
  • 00:22:40.694 --> 00:22:42.062
  • You are transforming.
  • 00:22:42.062 --> 00:22:44.932
  • You're transforming out of certain things in your life into
  • 00:22:44.932 --> 00:22:52.072
  • Certain things you hadn't been in.
  • 00:22:52.072 --> 00:22:55.009
  • So, when i say we still sin, i don't think you're still sinning
  • 00:22:55.009 --> 00:22:59.113
  • Like you used to sin.
  • 00:22:59.113 --> 00:23:03.284
  • All right, how you used to sin was based on the nature that you
  • 00:23:03.284 --> 00:23:08.255
  • Had to sin, but since you've been born again, the sin has
  • 00:23:08.255 --> 00:23:13.327
  • Diminished in how it looks with somebody who perfect.
  • 00:23:13.327 --> 00:23:22.169
  • Because, the new creation is working on your desires, that's
  • 00:23:22.169 --> 00:23:27.274
  • His way in.
  • 00:23:27.274 --> 00:23:29.543
  • "i'm working on taking away the old want-to's, giving you some
  • 00:23:29.543 --> 00:23:33.514
  • New want to's," and some of you can take a little look back and
  • 00:23:33.514 --> 00:23:38.385
  • You can't even figure out, why is it that i don't want the
  • 00:23:38.385 --> 00:23:41.489
  • Thing i used to be addicted to?
  • 00:23:41.489 --> 00:23:46.126
  • Why is it that i don't wanna even say the stuff i've always
  • 00:23:46.126 --> 00:23:49.763
  • Used to saying?
  • 00:23:49.763 --> 00:23:52.199
  • Because you got the new creation releasing impulses and impacting
  • 00:23:52.199 --> 00:23:58.739
  • Your desire, the bible says, to do what pleases god.
  • 00:23:58.739 --> 00:24:04.311
  • The new creation wants you to do what pleases god.
  • 00:24:04.311 --> 00:24:07.982
  • See, i gotta be careful because i got a generation that's
  • 00:24:07.982 --> 00:24:10.784
