  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.380
  • Male announcer: this program is brought to you, in part, by the
  • 00:00:01.247 --> 00:00:03.383
  • Partners and friends of creflo dollar ministries.
  • 00:00:03.516 --> 00:00:06.152
  • Coming up next on "changing your world."
  • 00:00:07.954 --> 00:00:08.688
  • Creflo dollar: renewing the mind is not a one time event.
  • 00:00:11.357 --> 00:00:14.894
  • It's a lifetime process.
  • 00:00:14.894 --> 00:00:17.664
  • Not a one time event.
  • 00:00:17.664 --> 00:00:20.233
  • You can't say, "today, i went to church and i renewed my mind.
  • 00:00:20.233 --> 00:00:25.238
  • I'm done."
  • 00:00:25.238 --> 00:00:26.573
  • No, you got a piece and then wednesday, you get another
  • 00:00:26.573 --> 00:00:32.912
  • Piece, and you go home, in you prayer time, you get
  • 00:00:32.912 --> 00:00:34.647
  • Another piece.
  • 00:00:34.647 --> 00:00:35.982
  • And a lot of this is gonna happen with--
  • 00:00:35.982 --> 00:00:37.450
  • Between you and god.
  • 00:00:37.450 --> 00:00:39.018
  • Male announcer: as a christian, what happens after you sin?
  • 00:00:41.988 --> 00:00:44.624
  • Do you lose your righteousness?
  • 00:00:44.624 --> 00:00:46.459
  • God's gift of righteousness gives us peace with him, not
  • 00:00:46.459 --> 00:00:50.196
  • Through our works, but through faith in jesus's finished work
  • 00:00:50.196 --> 00:00:53.700
  • On the cross.
  • 00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:55.034

  • Creflo: our new creation will never sin.
  • 00:01:49.455 --> 00:01:55.295
  • So let the new creation dominate your whole body, let the new
  • 00:01:55.295 --> 00:02:02.035
  • Creation dominate your soul, so you can live according to who
  • 00:02:02.035 --> 00:02:07.540
  • You really are.
  • 00:02:07.540 --> 00:02:09.976
  • You will never live in this physical life according to who
  • 00:02:09.976 --> 00:02:13.713
  • You really are, which is your new nature, which is your
  • 00:02:13.713 --> 00:02:18.151
  • Righteous, new creation.
  • 00:02:18.151 --> 00:02:21.788
  • See, i like to break this down because i wanna know how.
  • 00:02:21.788 --> 00:02:25.124
  • All i was like, are you telling me to do is how?
  • 00:02:25.124 --> 00:02:27.060
  • And then i found out, okay, how? what i mean?
  • 00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:29.429
  • What? how?
  • 00:02:29.429 --> 00:02:31.598
  • The new creation is trying to impart and impact you, trying to
  • 00:02:31.598 --> 00:02:38.538
  • Impact your body.
  • 00:02:38.538 --> 00:02:42.041
  • The new creation is working all the time to try to infiltrate
  • 00:02:42.041 --> 00:02:51.150
  • That software.
  • 00:02:51.150 --> 00:02:53.419
  • You gotta understand now.
  • 00:02:53.419 --> 00:02:54.821
  • The key is what are we gonna do about this software,
  • 00:02:54.821 --> 00:02:59.559
  • Our soul, our mind, our will, and our emotions that have
  • 00:02:59.559 --> 00:03:03.763
  • Gotten so used to the dictates of the old nature?
  • 00:03:03.763 --> 00:03:08.334
  • If we don't do nothing with this, even though we are now
  • 00:03:08.334 --> 00:03:12.805
  • Perfect, if we don't do nothing with this in this life, similar
  • 00:03:12.805 --> 00:03:18.211
  • Behaviors and sin continues.
  • 00:03:18.211 --> 00:03:22.115
  • Oh y'all got to hear me now.
  • 00:03:22.115 --> 00:03:24.384
  • So you start hearing what's wrong with the church.
  • 00:03:24.384 --> 00:03:26.219
  • Somebody said, "i--ain't no problem with me going to
  • 00:03:26.219 --> 00:03:29.222
  • Whatever this church, this church because all churches are
  • 00:03:29.222 --> 00:03:31.257
  • The same."
  • 00:03:31.257 --> 00:03:32.592
  • See, that's where you're missing it, because churches were
  • 00:03:32.592 --> 00:03:35.028
  • Supposed to take on this task that i'm describing to you
  • 00:03:35.028 --> 00:03:38.598
  • Right now: this...
  • 00:03:38.598 --> 00:03:41.668
  • You know what?
  • 00:03:41.668 --> 00:03:43.002
  • You know what the bible calls this...?
  • 00:03:43.002 --> 00:03:45.338
  • The flesh, that wrong way of thinking, that software
  • 00:03:45.338 --> 00:03:55.081
  • Influenced by the old nature.
  • 00:03:55.081 --> 00:04:00.353
  • You know what your issue is, you know what my issue is?
  • 00:04:00.353 --> 00:04:02.555
  • You know what the issue of the whole world is?
  • 00:04:02.555 --> 00:04:05.291
  • When you stop renewing your mind,
  • 00:04:05.291 --> 00:04:12.932
  • Something that needed to be taken care of
  • 00:04:12.932 --> 00:04:17.603
  • Has never been taken care of
  • 00:04:17.603 --> 00:04:19.605
  • Because you have not done a complete wipe
  • 00:04:19.605 --> 00:04:24.811
  • Of that old software from that old sinful nature.
  • 00:04:24.811 --> 00:04:33.686
  • So how do i let the new creation dominate me?
  • 00:04:33.686 --> 00:04:38.358
  • By renewing your mind.
  • 00:04:38.358 --> 00:04:42.628
  • How do i get to a place where i'm not being dominated by the
  • 00:04:42.628 --> 00:04:47.734
  • Old nature.
  • 00:04:47.734 --> 00:04:49.068
  • The old nature is gone, but the residue of that old nature
  • 00:04:49.068 --> 00:04:52.905
  • Resides here.
  • 00:04:52.905 --> 00:04:57.110
  • Look at colossians 3:9 and 10.
  • 00:04:57.110 --> 00:04:59.912
  • The residue resides here.
  • 00:04:59.912 --> 00:05:01.981
  • And so if we're coming to church and we're not learning and we're
  • 00:05:01.981 --> 00:05:05.385
  • Getting a bunch of tomfoolery, and we like what we feel in our
  • 00:05:05.385 --> 00:05:08.521
  • Body, and we like to jump, and scream, and hop and shout, and
  • 00:05:08.521 --> 00:05:11.991
  • You're not renewing your mind to think differently?
  • 00:05:11.991 --> 00:05:18.331
  • Then the struggle continues between the new nature in you
  • 00:05:18.331 --> 00:05:23.369
  • And your behavior outside of you.
  • 00:05:23.369 --> 00:05:27.707
  • Colossians 3:9 and 10, "lie not," not lie down, not but
  • 00:05:27.707 --> 00:05:34.313
  • Quit lying.
  • 00:05:34.313 --> 00:05:38.284
  • "lie not one to another, seeing," notice what he said,
  • 00:05:38.284 --> 00:05:43.055
  • "seeing that you put off the old man.
  • 00:05:43.055 --> 00:05:45.491
  • What is he saying?
  • 00:05:45.491 --> 00:05:47.126
  • The old nature, lying is a result of the old nature.
  • 00:05:47.126 --> 00:05:52.198
  • We have the nature to lie.
  • 00:05:52.198 --> 00:05:57.236
  • "lie, not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old
  • 00:05:57.236 --> 00:06:00.573
  • Man with his deeds--" the old man, he's saying lying here is
  • 00:06:00.573 --> 00:06:05.511
  • One of the deeds of your old nature.
  • 00:06:05.511 --> 00:06:09.415
  • Verse 10, "and have put on the new man," that new creation,
  • 00:06:09.415 --> 00:06:15.321
  • "which is renewed and the knowledge, is renewed after the
  • 00:06:15.321 --> 00:06:19.058
  • Image of that of him that created him."
  • 00:06:19.058 --> 00:06:25.631
  • We are never going to see what some are convicting you of if
  • 00:06:25.631 --> 00:06:34.407
  • We don't rightly divide the word of truth and renew our mind with
  • 00:06:34.407 --> 00:06:39.846
  • This gospel of grace.
  • 00:06:39.846 --> 00:06:41.514
  • It won't happen.
  • 00:06:41.514 --> 00:06:43.850
  • And i will preach this.
  • 00:06:43.850 --> 00:06:45.218
  • If everybody leaves, it won't happen.
  • 00:06:45.218 --> 00:06:48.254
  • You somehow--coming to church, has got to be a session of--a
  • 00:06:48.254 --> 00:06:55.528
  • Wipe session where each time you come, we ought to be wiping
  • 00:06:55.528 --> 00:07:00.266
  • Something else from your soul that was influenced by that old
  • 00:07:00.266 --> 00:07:05.171
  • Nature because you don't have that nature no more.
  • 00:07:05.171 --> 00:07:08.674
  • But you still have the behavior.
  • 00:07:08.674 --> 00:07:10.543
  • Why?
  • 00:07:10.543 --> 00:07:11.878
  • It's a soul wipe.
  • 00:07:11.878 --> 00:07:13.212
  • It's like i use this as a cell phone.
  • 00:07:13.212 --> 00:07:15.615
  • It's time for an update.
  • 00:07:15.615 --> 00:07:18.684
  • You can't get a--we keep trying to use the same software for a
  • 00:07:18.684 --> 00:07:24.724
  • New laptop, and expecting a new output.
  • 00:07:24.724 --> 00:07:28.794
  • Won't happen.
  • 00:07:28.794 --> 00:07:30.830
  • Even though it's brand new, you still gonna get the same output.
  • 00:07:30.830 --> 00:07:36.802
  • It's not like this is the first time i've talked about this.
  • 00:07:36.802 --> 00:07:43.175
  • It is that every time i talk about it,
  • 00:07:43.175 --> 00:07:45.344
  • Satan figures out a way to belittle and cause us to be
  • 00:07:45.344 --> 00:07:52.685
  • Subtle when we get to focusing on all of the religious stuff
  • 00:07:52.685 --> 00:07:59.058
  • And we don't stick to the facts.
  • 00:07:59.058 --> 00:08:04.163
  • Taffi and i were counseling somebody yesterday and we said,
  • 00:08:04.163 --> 00:08:08.000
  • "don't let the emotions get in the way."
  • 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.335
  • Write it down, stick with the facts.
  • 00:08:09.335 --> 00:08:13.039
  • Because you know how it is.
  • 00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:14.373
  • You start arguing about something and then you'll leave
  • 00:08:14.373 --> 00:08:16.142
  • The facts and then talking about, "oh, i always, oh, i
  • 00:08:16.142 --> 00:08:18.978
  • Always--at the time i did that,"
  • 00:08:18.978 --> 00:08:21.013
  • And that ain't got nothing to do with nothing.
  • 00:08:21.013 --> 00:08:23.449
  • Stick with the facts.
  • 00:08:23.449 --> 00:08:25.785
  • And we don't do that at church.
  • 00:08:25.785 --> 00:08:28.254
  • We come to church and just see "how i'm gonna feel today."
  • 00:08:28.254 --> 00:08:32.191
  • "oh, i feel it real good.
  • 00:08:32.191 --> 00:08:33.526
  • Oh, i really feel good today.
  • 00:08:33.526 --> 00:08:34.894
  • Oh, i know, i know god gonna answer my prayer today because i
  • 00:08:34.894 --> 00:08:37.663
  • Felt like praying this morning."
  • 00:08:37.663 --> 00:08:39.699
  • You--bro, you all or anything the devil can do to keep you out
  • 00:08:39.699 --> 00:08:44.537
  • Of renewing your mind with the word of god, which means you
  • 00:08:44.537 --> 00:08:49.508
  • Need to post yourself up somewhere where your mind is
  • 00:08:49.508 --> 00:08:52.845
  • Being renewed properly with the right information
  • 00:08:52.845 --> 00:08:56.782
  • In the software.
  • 00:08:56.782 --> 00:08:58.250
  • You know what happened?
  • 00:08:58.250 --> 00:08:59.585
  • We got born again and start renewing our mind with the
  • 00:08:59.585 --> 00:09:01.954
  • Wrong stuff.
  • 00:09:01.954 --> 00:09:04.790
  • We started renewing our minds with rules and not renewing our
  • 00:09:04.790 --> 00:09:10.363
  • Mind with the savior.
  • 00:09:10.363 --> 00:09:14.333
  • And so we care more about keeping rules than we do about
  • 00:09:14.333 --> 00:09:18.304
  • Loving people.
  • 00:09:18.304 --> 00:09:23.542
  • "and sometimes if you didn't keep the rules, i ain't gonna
  • 00:09:23.542 --> 00:09:26.979
  • Love you.
  • 00:09:26.979 --> 00:09:29.715
  • Did you pray this morning?
  • 00:09:29.715 --> 00:09:31.717
  • How much did you sin this week?
  • 00:09:31.717 --> 00:09:33.119
  • Uh-oh, can't feed you.
  • 00:09:33.119 --> 00:09:35.755
  • The bible says touch not the unclean.
  • 00:09:35.755 --> 00:09:37.590
  • You look like you real dirty today."
  • 00:09:37.590 --> 00:09:41.260
  • That ain't right.
  • 00:09:41.260 --> 00:09:43.896
  • Now you have a religious software that is based on your
  • 00:09:43.896 --> 00:09:50.102
  • Self-performance, your self- effort and jesus ain't nowhere.
  • 00:09:50.102 --> 00:09:55.107
  • It's based on your law keeping and jesus ain't nowhere.
  • 00:09:55.107 --> 00:09:58.210
  • So you're--you have him in you.
  • 00:09:58.210 --> 00:10:04.517
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:10:04.517 --> 00:10:05.951
  • You know something wrong because even when you do that, talking
  • 00:10:05.951 --> 00:10:09.422
  • About, "touch not the unclean," the impulses of the new
  • 00:10:09.422 --> 00:10:12.391
  • Creation's like saying, "no, they ain't right.
  • 00:10:12.391 --> 00:10:14.393
  • They ain't right."
  • 00:10:14.393 --> 00:10:16.062
  • And you know what you have to do?
  • 00:10:16.062 --> 00:10:17.463
  • You start going and try to find more scriptures
  • 00:10:17.463 --> 00:10:19.899
  • And rules to make you feel better about
  • 00:10:19.899 --> 00:10:22.635
  • What you did while you completely ignore and harden
  • 00:10:22.635 --> 00:10:26.172
  • Your hearing to the impulses of the new creation on the inside
  • 00:10:26.172 --> 00:10:29.709
  • Of you that says, "something ain't right
  • 00:10:29.709 --> 00:10:31.377
  • About what i just did."
  • 00:10:31.377 --> 00:10:40.986
  • So who wants to come to church and learn stuff?
  • 00:10:40.986 --> 00:10:49.095
  • I ain't talking about ya'll.
  • 00:10:49.095 --> 00:10:50.429
  • Stop.
  • 00:10:50.429 --> 00:10:53.666
  • Romans 12 verse 1 and 2 in the nlt.
  • 00:10:53.666 --> 00:10:55.835
  • Romans 12:1 and 2 in the nlt, "and so, dear brothers and
  • 00:10:55.835 --> 00:11:01.407
  • Sisters, i plead with you to give your bodies to god."
  • 00:11:01.407 --> 00:11:07.446
  • Now, i get it.
  • 00:11:07.446 --> 00:11:08.814
  • You know what he's talking about?
  • 00:11:08.814 --> 00:11:10.149
  • This god that's on the inside of you.
  • 00:11:10.149 --> 00:11:13.819
  • Give your bodies to god because of all he has done for you, paid
  • 00:11:13.819 --> 00:11:20.826
  • The price, was the propitiation for your sins, moved into you,
  • 00:11:20.826 --> 00:11:25.865
  • Gave you a new creation, a new nature, a nature to
  • 00:11:25.865 --> 00:11:29.535
  • Live righteously.
  • 00:11:29.535 --> 00:11:32.972
  • "let them be a living and a holy sacrifice--the kind he will
  • 00:11:32.972 --> 00:11:37.810
  • Find acceptable.
  • 00:11:37.810 --> 00:11:39.378
  • This is truly the way to worship him."
  • 00:11:39.378 --> 00:11:41.847
  • Verse 2, "don't copy the behavior of--and the customs of
  • 00:11:41.847 --> 00:11:45.885
  • The world, but let god--let god transform you into a new person
  • 00:11:45.885 --> 00:11:54.827
  • By changing the way you think."
  • 00:11:54.827 --> 00:12:00.332
  • Then as you allow him to change the way you think, software
  • 00:12:00.332 --> 00:12:03.836
  • Issue, "then you will learn to know god's will for you, which
  • 00:12:03.836 --> 00:12:10.342
  • Is gonna be good and pleasing and perfect."
  • 00:12:10.342 --> 00:12:16.415
  • I can't tell you the number of people who are still asking,
  • 00:12:16.415 --> 00:12:18.984
  • "god show me your will.
  • 00:12:18.984 --> 00:12:20.352
  • God show me your will."
  • 00:12:20.352 --> 00:12:21.687
  • And you know what he's saying?
  • 00:12:21.687 --> 00:12:23.055
  • "i want to, but you won't swipe and update the software.
  • 00:12:23.055 --> 00:12:29.261
  • You can't hear me.
  • 00:12:29.261 --> 00:12:30.596
  • You can't know me, because you're trying to hear and know
  • 00:12:30.596 --> 00:12:33.499
  • Me with the thinking that has come from your old nature."
  • 00:12:33.499 --> 00:12:42.942
  • And i'm limited.
  • 00:12:42.942 --> 00:12:44.944
  • I'm talking all the time.
  • 00:12:44.944 --> 00:12:46.278
  • I'm speaking all the time.
  • 00:12:46.278 --> 00:12:47.646
  • I'm leading all the time.
  • 00:12:47.646 --> 00:12:48.981
  • I'm throwing all kinds of stuff all the time.
  • 00:12:48.981 --> 00:12:50.349
  • You just can't receive none of them because you don't have
  • 00:12:50.349 --> 00:12:52.618
  • The capacity.
  • 00:12:52.618 --> 00:12:57.156
  • And everything about our lives, when we talk about god, "o god
  • 00:12:57.156 --> 00:13:01.660
  • Bless me here."
  • 00:13:01.660 --> 00:13:03.028
  • He says, "i want to, you don't have the capacity to receive."
  • 00:13:03.028 --> 00:13:05.431
  • "o god, heal me."
  • 00:13:05.431 --> 00:13:06.765
  • "i've already done it but you don't have the capacity
  • 00:13:06.765 --> 00:13:09.068
  • To receive."
  • 00:13:09.068 --> 00:13:10.436
  • "o god, give me promotion."
  • 00:13:10.436 --> 00:13:11.770
  • "oh yeah, i want that to happen, but you don't have the capacity
  • 00:13:11.770 --> 00:13:13.906
  • To receive."
  • 00:13:13.906 --> 00:13:15.274
  • What do you think he's talking about?
  • 00:13:15.274 --> 00:13:16.609
  • He says, "i cannot transfer the necessary wisdom to operate in
  • 00:13:16.609 --> 00:13:20.579
  • This physical world, because you won't change the software."
  • 00:13:20.579 --> 00:13:31.190
  • So some of you said about, "what are you saying?"
  • 00:13:31.257 --> 00:13:33.592
  • You know exactly what i'm saying.
  • 00:13:33.592 --> 00:13:35.127
  • What are you talking about "what i'm saying?"
  • 00:13:35.127 --> 00:13:36.528
  • You know exactly what i'm saying.
  • 00:13:36.528 --> 00:13:37.997
  • I'm just spreading it out a little bit.
  • 00:13:37.997 --> 00:13:39.365
  • You know exactly what i'm saying.
  • 00:13:39.365 --> 00:13:41.533
  • Your soul is inundated with the old nature stuff, which is why
  • 00:13:41.533 --> 00:13:46.572
  • You're doing what you do.
  • 00:13:46.572 --> 00:13:47.907
  • It's why you do what you do.
  • 00:13:47.907 --> 00:13:49.275
  • Change the software.
  • 00:13:49.275 --> 00:13:51.176
  • I'm not trying to beat you up so you can feel bad and
  • 00:13:51.176 --> 00:13:53.312
  • Feel convicted.
  • 00:13:53.312 --> 00:13:54.647
  • I'm trying to convince you change the software.
  • 00:13:54.647 --> 00:14:04.356
  • I'm trying to impact you while you're in your house.
  • 00:14:04.356 --> 00:14:08.560
  • You know what happens when some of us get out of our house?
  • 00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:11.630
  • When you get out of this body, you're gonna know everything,
  • 00:14:11.630 --> 00:14:16.735
  • Because there's nothing here to limit it.
  • 00:14:16.735 --> 00:14:20.973
  • A born again spirit outside of this body and a soul outside of
  • 00:14:20.973 --> 00:14:27.446
  • This brain is infinite in knowledge.
  • 00:14:27.446 --> 00:14:32.918
  • You ain't even got hardly talk to somebody when you see 'em.
  • 00:14:32.918 --> 00:14:35.421
  • You gonna already know.
  • 00:14:35.421 --> 00:14:39.959
  • Yeah, i think it's gonna be a bunch of talking in heaven.
  • 00:14:39.959 --> 00:14:41.660
  • I don't need to, i already know.
  • 00:14:41.660 --> 00:14:43.028
  • I don't need to communicate nothing.
  • 00:14:43.028 --> 00:14:44.363
  • All of that will be
  • 00:14:44.363 --> 00:14:45.698
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:14:45.698 --> 00:14:47.199
  • I don't even know about nothing.
  • 00:14:47.199 --> 00:14:51.003
  • You think you know what's gonna happen?
  • 00:14:51.003 --> 00:14:53.706
  • You don't, do you realize how much you don't know?
  • 00:14:53.706 --> 00:14:55.975
  • You think you really got this figured out?
  • 00:14:55.975 --> 00:14:57.409
  • You bro, you are gonna be, oh, you have no clue.
  • 00:14:57.409 --> 00:15:03.315
  • All of those story you heard.
  • 00:15:03.315 --> 00:15:05.985
  • You know, "one day we gonna leave the body and we gonna be
  • 00:15:05.985 --> 00:15:09.955
  • With the lord and i'm gonna dance and shout," you ain't
  • 00:15:09.955 --> 00:15:13.192
  • Doing none of that.
  • 00:15:13.192 --> 00:15:20.065
  • You think you're gonna go up there and just do what you
  • 00:15:20.065 --> 00:15:21.667
  • Wanna do?
  • 00:15:21.667 --> 00:15:23.002
  • There's gonna be order and assignment.
  • 00:15:23.002 --> 00:15:25.971
  • And besides you're not gonna be finite thinkers.
  • 00:15:25.971 --> 00:15:34.246
  • Do you understand who you're in?
  • 00:15:34.246 --> 00:15:36.548
  • You're in the wisdom of ages.
  • 00:15:36.548 --> 00:15:39.918
  • There's scripture for this: everything he knows, you know.
  • 00:15:39.918 --> 00:15:43.322
  • What did he say at the end of the day,
  • 00:15:43.322 --> 00:15:44.823
  • When everything is over with, when you see him--now you
  • 00:15:44.823 --> 00:15:49.428
  • Understand, but when you see him, you gonna be like him
  • 00:15:49.428 --> 00:15:53.332
  • Because you gonna see him and you like you are and ain't gonna
  • 00:15:53.332 --> 00:15:57.302
  • Be no difference between you and him, and everything he know,
  • 00:15:57.302 --> 00:16:01.407
  • You know--
  • 00:16:01.407 --> 00:16:03.675
  • Just like jesus and the father, and the holy ghost.
  • 00:16:03.675 --> 00:16:08.580
  • And we try to divide them up into pieces.
  • 00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:10.883
  • Stop it.
  • 00:16:10.883 --> 00:16:12.718
  • The holy ghost is god.
  • 00:16:12.718 --> 00:16:14.553
  • Jesus is god.
  • 00:16:14.553 --> 00:16:16.655
  • God is god!
  • 00:16:16.655 --> 00:16:18.957
  • You have god on the inside of you.
  • 00:16:18.957 --> 00:16:22.528
  • God living in you.
  • 00:16:22.528 --> 00:16:25.364
  • That was god walking in that flesh.
  • 00:16:25.364 --> 00:16:27.466
  • Somebody said, "why he ain't live more than 33 years?"
  • 00:16:27.466 --> 00:16:30.469
  • What kind of flesh, what kind of suit can hold god?
  • 00:16:30.469 --> 00:16:35.074
  • What kind of body can hold god?
  • 00:16:35.074 --> 00:16:38.143
  • He stayed in there as long as he could.
  • 00:16:38.143 --> 00:16:44.883
  • His body was already the--god was already spilling over.
  • 00:16:44.883 --> 00:16:48.687
  • That's why when he was a young boy, he could go into the
  • 00:16:48.687 --> 00:16:51.056
  • Synagogue and sit down and talk to them reverends that thought
  • 00:16:51.056 --> 00:16:53.692
  • They knew everything, and he couldn't contain the wisdom that
  • 00:16:53.692 --> 00:16:56.929
  • Flowed out of him.
  • 00:16:56.929 --> 00:16:58.297
  • He didn't go to no school to learn all that.
  • 00:16:58.297 --> 00:16:59.998
  • That's--he already knew all of that when he came.
  • 00:16:59.998 --> 00:17:02.568
  • How many times you heard jesus say, "i knew their thoughts"?
  • 00:17:02.568 --> 00:17:16.482
  • So renewing your mind will, number one, get you out of
  • 00:17:20.619 --> 00:17:26.425
  • Your head.
  • 00:17:26.425 --> 00:17:28.660
  • Renewing your mind, two, changes you.
  • 00:17:28.660 --> 00:17:33.899
  • Renewing your mind, three, gives you purpose and direction.
  • 00:17:33.899 --> 00:17:39.438
  • Again, renewing your mind, it'll get you out of your head, and
  • 00:17:39.438 --> 00:17:44.076
  • That's where most christians spend their time.
  • 00:17:44.076 --> 00:17:48.113
  • It'll get you out of your head, will really get you out
  • 00:17:48.113 --> 00:17:51.116
  • Of religion.
  • 00:17:51.116 --> 00:17:53.752
  • It changes you, number two, when you renew your mind.
  • 00:17:53.752 --> 00:17:57.022
  • Change doesn't happen without the renewing of the mind.
  • 00:17:57.022 --> 00:18:02.995
  • You can get saved and say you're saved but ain't no change is
  • 00:18:02.995 --> 00:18:05.264
  • Gonna happen.
  • 00:18:05.264 --> 00:18:06.598
  • You're still gonna be the same kind of person.
  • 00:18:06.598 --> 00:18:07.966
  • Listen, if you were a hellion before you got saved, if you
  • 00:18:07.966 --> 00:18:10.936
  • Don't renew your mind, you're gonna be a hellion with the
  • 00:18:10.936 --> 00:18:13.305
  • Christian title over you.
  • 00:18:13.305 --> 00:18:15.774
  • Nothing changes without the renewing of the mind.
  • 00:18:15.774 --> 00:18:20.312
  • And renewing of the mind is not is not an event.
  • 00:18:20.312 --> 00:18:27.386
  • It's a process, it's a process, it's a process.
  • 00:18:27.386 --> 00:18:32.157
  • Exchanging your way of thinking for his way of thinking,
  • 00:18:32.157 --> 00:18:35.827
  • Exchanging your ideas from--with his ideas, because that's
  • 00:18:35.827 --> 00:18:38.864
  • Renewing of the mind.
  • 00:18:38.864 --> 00:18:42.534
  • And then thirdly, renewing the mind gives you purpose
  • 00:18:42.534 --> 00:18:45.103
  • And direction.
  • 00:18:45.103 --> 00:18:46.438
  • Let me show you one more scripture and then we'll close.
  • 00:18:46.438 --> 00:18:48.407
  • Ephesians 4 and verse 23 in the amplified.
  • 00:18:48.407 --> 00:18:51.777
  • Ephesians 4 and verse 23 in the amplified.
  • 00:18:51.777 --> 00:18:57.816
  • "and be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having
  • 00:18:57.816 --> 00:19:06.758
  • A fresh mental and spiritual attitude]."
  • 00:19:06.758 --> 00:19:13.732
  • Get what it was saying here.
  • 00:19:13.732 --> 00:19:15.334
  • It's something that's gonna be constantly going on,
  • 00:19:15.334 --> 00:19:19.538
  • Constantly happening.
  • 00:19:19.538 --> 00:19:22.074
  • Renewing the mind is not a one time event.
  • 00:19:22.074 --> 00:19:25.611
  • It's a lifetime process, not a one time event.
  • 00:19:25.611 --> 00:19:30.949
  • You can't say, "today i went to church and i renewed my mind.
  • 00:19:30.949 --> 00:19:35.954
  • I'm done."
  • 00:19:35.954 --> 00:19:37.289
  • No, you got a piece, and then wednesday you get another piece.
  • 00:19:37.289 --> 00:19:43.929
  • And you go home in your prayer time, you get another piece and
  • 00:19:43.929 --> 00:19:46.131
  • A lot of this is gonna happen with--between you and god.
  • 00:19:46.131 --> 00:19:50.502
  • "be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind, have a
  • 00:19:50.502 --> 00:19:55.107
  • Fresh--" so now all the traditional stuff you've been
  • 00:19:55.107 --> 00:19:58.644
  • Thinking and hadn't rightly divided it, that might be the
  • 00:19:58.644 --> 00:20:00.946
  • Stuff that's keeping you unhappy, sad, "why i keep
  • 00:20:00.946 --> 00:20:04.249
  • Marrying the same kind of no good for nothing husband?"
  • 00:20:04.249 --> 00:20:06.752
  • You ain't renewing your mind.
  • 00:20:06.752 --> 00:20:08.353
  • Well, he said he was saved.
  • 00:20:08.353 --> 00:20:09.721
  • Yeah, but you found out that night he wasn't.
  • 00:20:09.721 --> 00:20:13.125
  • And if you'd have renewed your mind, you'd have been able to
  • 00:20:13.125 --> 00:20:15.093
  • Pay attention to the fruit that was on the tree.
  • 00:20:15.093 --> 00:20:21.266
  • "well."
  • 00:20:21.266 --> 00:20:28.473
  • "a fresh mental which brings a spiritual attitude],"
  • 00:20:28.473 --> 00:20:34.279
  • From hand to work.
  • 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:39.418
  • Whoo, i think i'm gonna end.
  • 00:20:39.418 --> 00:20:42.621
  • I'm tired.
  • 00:20:42.621 --> 00:20:46.191
  • Some might say-- talking about,
  • 00:20:46.191 --> 00:20:52.130
  • "why do you say you tired?"
  • 00:20:52.130 --> 00:20:53.465
  • Because i am.
  • 00:20:53.465 --> 00:20:57.235
  • All this hollering and screaming.
  • 00:20:57.235 --> 00:20:59.638
  • "well, don't holler and scream."
  • 00:20:59.638 --> 00:21:01.006
  • Well, i can't help it.
  • 00:21:01.006 --> 00:21:02.341
  • I mean, i guess i could help it but i don't wanna help it.
