  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.336
  • Male announcer: this program is brought to you, in part, by the
  • 00:00:02.237 --> 00:00:04.373
  • Partners and friends of creflo dollar ministries.
  • 00:00:04.506 --> 00:00:05.374
  • Coming up next on "changing your world."
  • 00:00:08.811 --> 00:00:11.547
  • Creflo dollar: you gotta understand now.
  • 00:00:12.414 --> 00:00:13.816
  • The key is, what are we gonna do about this software, our soul,
  • 00:00:13.816 --> 00:00:19.321
  • Our mind, our will, and our emotions that have gotten so
  • 00:00:19.321 --> 00:00:23.358
  • Used to the dictates of the old nature?
  • 00:00:23.358 --> 00:00:27.296
  • If we don't do nothing with this, even though we are now
  • 00:00:27.296 --> 00:00:31.800
  • Perfect, if we don't do nothing with this in this life, similar
  • 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:37.206
  • Behaviors and sin continues.
  • 00:00:37.206 --> 00:00:41.376
  • Creflo dollar: hopefully you're gonna choose to let
  • 00:00:45.447 --> 00:00:47.049
  • Heaven determine your thinking because whatever choice you
  • 00:00:47.049 --> 00:00:50.419
  • Make, then that's gonna be your mentality for the day.
  • 00:00:50.419 --> 00:00:53.722
  • Creflo: can you say that he's a way-maker, yes!
  • 00:00:53.722 --> 00:00:56.658

  • Creflo: the real you is your what, spirit, soul, or body?
  • 00:01:52.014 --> 00:01:57.953
  • The real you is your spirit.
  • 00:01:57.953 --> 00:02:00.355
  • Your spirit never desires to sin and will never sin.
  • 00:02:00.355 --> 00:02:05.027
  • This is who we really are, but we treat that like, "oh, well,
  • 00:02:05.027 --> 00:02:10.032
  • That's just a fantasy.
  • 00:02:10.032 --> 00:02:11.366
  • That ain't the truth," and you don't even know how true that is
  • 00:02:11.366 --> 00:02:14.303
  • Until you die.
  • 00:02:14.303 --> 00:02:16.872
  • Because when you die, the only thing--your--you're gonna
  • 00:02:16.872 --> 00:02:20.776
  • Move--here it is.
  • 00:02:20.776 --> 00:02:22.144
  • You're gonna move out of the house, you are now gonna
  • 00:02:22.144 --> 00:02:25.714
  • Be--gonna--you are now gonna become aware of the real you.
  • 00:02:25.714 --> 00:02:31.453
  • Death is gonna be so awesome because you won't even know it
  • 00:02:31.453 --> 00:02:37.793
  • Really happened.
  • 00:02:37.793 --> 00:02:39.294
  • You're going--when you move, you're gonna step out the house
  • 00:02:39.294 --> 00:02:44.700
  • And you--if you--maybe he'll let you look back and see that's my
  • 00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:48.370
  • Body, but you're gonna literally
  • 00:02:48.370 --> 00:02:51.540
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:02:51.540 --> 00:02:54.643
  • You gonna literally
  • 00:02:54.643 --> 00:02:56.778
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:02:56.778 --> 00:02:58.146
  • Move from one dimension to another dimension and you're
  • 00:02:58.146 --> 00:03:05.087
  • Gonna slip out of your physical dimension house into a spiritual
  • 00:03:05.087 --> 00:03:11.360
  • House with your real you and everything now is more real than
  • 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:16.431
  • What you thought was real when you were in your physical body.
  • 00:03:16.431 --> 00:03:26.241
  • That's why you are not ever be scared of death.
  • 00:03:26.241 --> 00:03:32.914
  • And that's what the devil will put on you, like, "ah, wait a
  • 00:03:37.152 --> 00:03:40.689
  • Minute, whether here or there."
  • 00:03:40.689 --> 00:03:44.426
  • Paul said it like this, he said, "to tell the truth, i don't
  • 00:03:44.426 --> 00:03:46.862
  • Know, at this point, whether it's gonna be more beneficial
  • 00:03:46.862 --> 00:03:50.432
  • For me to stay here with y'all or go over here where i know
  • 00:03:50.432 --> 00:03:55.137
  • About it," and then they start looking at the world and say,
  • 00:03:55.137 --> 00:03:58.006
  • "oh jesus, i need to stay here."
  • 00:03:58.006 --> 00:04:02.477
  • Alright, now watch this.
  • 00:04:02.477 --> 00:04:04.379
  • Alright, so the real you--this is so amazing.
  • 00:04:04.379 --> 00:04:09.885
  • The real you resembles your earth suit.
  • 00:04:09.885 --> 00:04:13.488
  • It's kind of like the pattern for your earth suit came from
  • 00:04:13.488 --> 00:04:17.092
  • The real you.
  • 00:04:17.092 --> 00:04:18.994
  • I know you can't see it right now but i gotta say it.
  • 00:04:18.994 --> 00:04:21.563
  • The pattern of this came from your real outfit.
  • 00:04:21.563 --> 00:04:25.667
  • When you--when we see one another in heaven, we're gonna
  • 00:04:25.667 --> 00:04:30.138
  • See one another at the best possible state of appearance
  • 00:04:30.138 --> 00:04:38.413
  • That we have ever seen one another, maybe in your twenties.
  • 00:04:40.615 --> 00:04:48.156
  • But you gonna look at one another like, "francine,
  • 00:04:48.156 --> 00:04:52.494
  • That's you?"
  • 00:04:52.494 --> 00:04:54.763
  • You gonna say, "girl, don't i look good?"
  • 00:04:54.763 --> 00:05:01.937
  • And that's the pattern [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:05:01.937 --> 00:05:04.473
  • I have evidence that just popped in my mind.
  • 00:05:04.473 --> 00:05:07.309
  • The physical tabernacle is an exact duplicate of the
  • 00:05:07.309 --> 00:05:13.148
  • Heavenly tabernacle.
  • 00:05:13.148 --> 00:05:15.817
  • The heavenly tabernacle doesn't look like the
  • 00:05:15.817 --> 00:05:17.953
  • Physical tabernacle.
  • 00:05:17.953 --> 00:05:19.421
  • The physical tabernacle took its pattern from the heavenly
  • 00:05:19.421 --> 00:05:23.558
  • Tabernacle, just like your physical body got its pattern
  • 00:05:23.558 --> 00:05:29.331
  • From your spiritual body.
  • 00:05:29.331 --> 00:05:35.003
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:05:35.003 --> 00:05:36.738
  • We gotta be careful, boy, it be--we going to be raptured
  • 00:05:36.738 --> 00:05:38.974
  • Up in here.
  • 00:05:38.974 --> 00:05:40.475
  • You get to listen to this stuff, we go--
  • 00:05:40.475 --> 00:05:41.977
  • [whoosh]
  • 00:05:41.977 --> 00:05:43.311
  • Somebody said, "what happened?"
  • 00:05:43.311 --> 00:05:44.646
  • That'd be so cool, if god gave us two seconds to just--whoa!
  • 00:05:44.646 --> 00:05:48.083
  • Whoa!
  • 00:05:48.083 --> 00:05:51.720
  • Do it again.
  • 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:53.054
  • Hey!
  • 00:05:53.054 --> 00:05:54.423
  • Tear this church up, everybody be under--hey!
  • 00:05:54.423 --> 00:06:01.396
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:06:01.396 --> 00:06:08.870
  • Now, since we are still in our bodies and in this world we
  • 00:06:08.870 --> 00:06:17.279
  • Might still sin.
  • 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.147
  • There's really no might to it because 1 john 1 and 8--not
  • 00:06:19.147 --> 00:06:23.218
  • That--see, here's the thing about it.
  • 00:06:23.218 --> 00:06:24.986
  • You think you're gonna still sin the same sins.
  • 00:06:24.986 --> 00:06:32.527
  • You got new creation in you, you are transforming.
  • 00:06:32.527 --> 00:06:36.765
  • You're transforming out of certain things in your life into
  • 00:06:36.765 --> 00:06:43.939
  • Certain things you hadn't been in.
  • 00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:46.842
  • So, when i say we still sin, i don't think you're still sinning
  • 00:06:46.842 --> 00:06:50.912
  • Like you used to sin.
  • 00:06:50.912 --> 00:06:55.116
  • All right, how you used to sin was based on the nature that you
  • 00:06:55.116 --> 00:07:00.088
  • Had to sin, but since you've been born again, the sin has
  • 00:07:00.088 --> 00:07:05.126
  • Diminished in how it looks with somebody who perfect.
  • 00:07:05.126 --> 00:07:14.002
  • Because the new creation is working on your desires.
  • 00:07:14.002 --> 00:07:18.874
  • That's his way in.
  • 00:07:18.874 --> 00:07:21.376
  • "i'm working on taking away the old want-to's, giving you some
  • 00:07:21.376 --> 00:07:25.380
  • New want-to's," and some of you can take a little look back and
  • 00:07:25.380 --> 00:07:30.218
  • You can't even figure out, why is it that i don't want the
  • 00:07:30.218 --> 00:07:33.321
  • Thing i used to be addicted to?
  • 00:07:33.321 --> 00:07:37.993
  • Why is it that i don't wanna even say the stuff i've always
  • 00:07:37.993 --> 00:07:41.563
  • Used to saying?
  • 00:07:41.563 --> 00:07:44.065
  • Because you got the new creation releasing impulses and impacting
  • 00:07:44.065 --> 00:07:50.572
  • Your desire, the bible says, to do what pleases god.
  • 00:07:50.572 --> 00:07:56.077
  • The new creation wants you to do what pleases god.
  • 00:07:56.077 --> 00:07:59.781
  • See, i gotta be careful because i got a generation that's
  • 00:07:59.781 --> 00:08:02.617
  • Looking for an excuse to wanna be saved and fleshy at the
  • 00:08:02.617 --> 00:08:09.691
  • Same time.
  • 00:08:09.691 --> 00:08:13.895
  • Uh-uh, that ain't what they're saying.
  • 00:08:13.895 --> 00:08:15.897
  • You know, they playing lawyer, they're looking down the
  • 00:08:15.897 --> 00:08:19.935
  • Contract to see if they can find a loophole.
  • 00:08:19.935 --> 00:08:24.539
  • And if you understand what i'm preaching to you this morning,
  • 00:08:24.539 --> 00:08:26.675
  • You don't need to find no loophole.
  • 00:08:26.675 --> 00:08:28.209
  • You just need to have faith in the transformation.
  • 00:08:28.209 --> 00:08:35.617
  • Alright, so he says here, "if we say that we have no sin, we
  • 00:08:35.617 --> 00:08:39.387
  • Deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
  • 00:08:39.387 --> 00:08:42.023
  • Okay, so the fact of the matter is, yes, you're born again, and
  • 00:08:42.023 --> 00:08:46.661
  • This may be hard for some people to hear.
  • 00:08:46.661 --> 00:08:48.663
  • Yeah, you're born again and in this world you might still sin.
  • 00:08:48.663 --> 00:08:53.435
  • You're going to have some behavior issues that are still
  • 00:08:53.435 --> 00:08:56.571
  • In the process of transformation.
  • 00:08:56.571 --> 00:08:58.006
  • That's why you don't wanna judge people so quick because they
  • 00:08:58.006 --> 00:09:01.009
  • Might--you might be judging them in transformation.
  • 00:09:01.009 --> 00:09:05.146
  • In other words, you're judging them based on what you knew
  • 00:09:05.146 --> 00:09:07.349
  • About them in the past, but they're no longer there.
  • 00:09:07.349 --> 00:09:09.918
  • As christians, they have made several steps from that by the
  • 00:09:09.918 --> 00:09:14.222
  • Training of the new creation and it ain't even in them no more.
  • 00:09:14.222 --> 00:09:17.626
  • Be careful how you look at people.
  • 00:09:17.626 --> 00:09:24.499
  • All right, look at 1 john 2:1 through 2.
  • 00:09:24.499 --> 00:09:28.370
  • 1 john 2: 1, 2.
  • 00:09:28.370 --> 00:09:29.704
  • He says, "my little children, these things write i unto you,
  • 00:09:29.704 --> 00:09:33.174
  • That you sin not."
  • 00:09:33.174 --> 00:09:34.509
  • All right, so he's writing--he's saying, "here's the best.
  • 00:09:34.509 --> 00:09:37.078
  • I'm writing to you that you sin not."
  • 00:09:37.078 --> 00:09:39.080
  • But then, watch this.
  • 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:40.448
  • He says, "and if any man sin," okay, "we have an advocate,"
  • 00:09:40.448 --> 00:09:44.786
  • Someone who's going ahead of us and pleading for us, "we have an
  • 00:09:44.786 --> 00:09:49.391
  • Advocate with the father, jesus christ the righteous."
  • 00:09:49.391 --> 00:09:52.427
  • So he says, "okay, so i've made provisions for your sinning
  • 00:09:52.427 --> 00:09:58.033
  • While you're being transformed."
  • 00:09:58.033 --> 00:10:02.404
  • He says, "here's what you do."
  • 00:10:02.404 --> 00:10:05.407
  • "remember that he is the propitiation for our sins."
  • 00:10:05.407 --> 00:10:10.445
  • Remember that he is the ransom that has been paid for our sins.
  • 00:10:10.445 --> 00:10:16.751
  • In other words, remember that jesus has already taken and paid
  • 00:10:16.751 --> 00:10:22.924
  • For your sins, or better better yet, watch this.
  • 00:10:22.924 --> 00:10:27.762
  • Remember that you are no longer--let me say it like this.
  • 00:10:27.762 --> 00:10:32.434
  • Remember that you no longer have the nature to sin.
  • 00:10:32.434 --> 00:10:37.906
  • So it says, "if you're misbehaving, remind yourself,
  • 00:10:37.906 --> 00:10:40.642
  • 'that's not my nature.'"
  • 00:10:40.642 --> 00:10:42.644
  • Wow.
  • 00:10:42.644 --> 00:10:44.045
  • Something happens, "that's not my nature."
  • 00:10:44.045 --> 00:10:47.315
  • What happens if you spend the next five--or five years
  • 00:10:47.315 --> 00:10:50.385
  • Saying--you know, something happens and you're like, "that's
  • 00:10:50.385 --> 00:10:52.454
  • Not my nature."
  • 00:10:52.454 --> 00:10:53.788
  • You are realizing, i am no longer subject to the nature.
  • 00:10:53.788 --> 00:10:57.826
  • The price has been paid for me to be free from the old man.
  • 00:10:57.826 --> 00:11:03.631
  • The price has been paid for me to be free from the sin nature.
  • 00:11:03.631 --> 00:11:08.670
  • The price has been paid for me to receive the new creation.
  • 00:11:08.670 --> 00:11:13.341
  • I no longer have the nature to sin, so when i do sin, i remind
  • 00:11:13.341 --> 00:11:18.880
  • Myself that's not my nature.
  • 00:11:18.880 --> 00:11:23.118
  • Say it out loud, "that's not my nature."
  • 00:11:23.118 --> 00:11:27.088
  • Somebody says, "well, wait a minute, pastor.
  • 00:11:27.088 --> 00:11:28.423
  • You mean, if i cuss her out, what do i do?"
  • 00:11:28.423 --> 00:11:32.794
  • Well, first of all, you apologize and then you remind
  • 00:11:32.794 --> 00:11:37.565
  • Yourself and them, that's not my nature.
  • 00:11:37.565 --> 00:11:40.635
  • "well, if it ain't your nature, why'd you do it?"
  • 00:11:40.635 --> 00:11:43.304
  • "i still need to continue to work on my software."
  • 00:11:43.304 --> 00:11:47.842
  • And you know what you do, you be quick to forgive.
  • 00:11:47.842 --> 00:11:54.215
  • "he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our sins
  • 00:11:54.215 --> 00:11:57.719
  • Only," now, this is so awesome, "but also he's paid the price
  • 00:11:57.719 --> 00:12:01.422
  • For the whole world," and he's paid the price
  • 00:12:01.422 --> 00:12:03.324
  • For the whole world sin.
  • 00:12:03.324 --> 00:12:04.859
  • Now, i don't know if the whole world gonna take advantage
  • 00:12:04.859 --> 00:12:06.427
  • Of it, but i know you and i who are born again,
  • 00:12:06.427 --> 00:12:09.063
  • We have taken advantage of it.
  • 00:12:09.063 --> 00:12:10.431
  • And so, if the whole world wants to take advantage of it, there
  • 00:12:10.431 --> 00:12:12.801
  • Is provision for the whole world to take advantage of it.
  • 00:12:12.801 --> 00:12:17.172
  • So, thank god you and i have taken advantage of it, amen.
  • 00:12:17.172 --> 00:12:22.076
  • But our new creation, even what i just said, even what we just
  • 00:12:22.076 --> 00:12:26.347
  • Read, our new creation will never sin.
  • 00:12:26.347 --> 00:12:32.487
  • So, let the new creation dominate your whole body.
  • 00:12:32.487 --> 00:12:38.159
  • Let the new creation dominate your soul so you can live
  • 00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:42.597
  • According to who you really are.
  • 00:12:42.597 --> 00:12:47.235
  • You will never live in this physical life according to who
  • 00:12:47.235 --> 00:12:50.905
  • You really are, which is your new nature, which is your
  • 00:12:50.905 --> 00:12:55.343
  • Righteous new creation.
  • 00:12:55.343 --> 00:12:59.047
  • See, i like to break this down because i wanna know how.
  • 00:12:59.047 --> 00:13:02.317
  • I'm always like, "all you telling me to do is how," and
  • 00:13:02.317 --> 00:13:04.452
  • Then i find that out, "okay, how?"
  • 00:13:04.452 --> 00:13:06.254
  • "well, what i meant"--"well, how?"
  • 00:13:06.254 --> 00:13:08.122
  • The new creation is trying to impart and impact you, trying to
  • 00:13:08.122 --> 00:13:15.763
  • Impact your body.
  • 00:13:15.763 --> 00:13:19.267
  • The new creation is working all the time to try to infiltrate
  • 00:13:19.267 --> 00:13:28.376
  • That software.
  • 00:13:28.376 --> 00:13:30.645
  • You gotta understand now.
  • 00:13:30.645 --> 00:13:32.046
  • The key is, what are we gonna do about this software, our soul,
  • 00:13:32.046 --> 00:13:37.552
  • Our mind, our will, and our emotions that have gotten so
  • 00:13:37.552 --> 00:13:41.589
  • Used to the dictates of the old nature?
  • 00:13:41.589 --> 00:13:45.560
  • If we don't do nothing with this, even though we are now
  • 00:13:45.560 --> 00:13:50.031
  • Perfect, if we don't do nothing with this in this life, similar
  • 00:13:50.031 --> 00:13:55.436
  • Behaviors and sin continues.
  • 00:13:55.436 --> 00:13:59.374
  • Oh, y'all got to hear me now.
  • 00:13:59.374 --> 00:14:01.609
  • So you start hearing what's wrong with the church.
  • 00:14:01.609 --> 00:14:03.444
  • Somebody said, "i--ain't no problem with me going to
  • 00:14:03.444 --> 00:14:06.447
  • Whatever this church, this church, because all churches are
  • 00:14:06.447 --> 00:14:08.483
  • The same."
  • 00:14:08.483 --> 00:14:09.817
  • See, that's where you're missing it.
  • 00:14:09.817 --> 00:14:11.152
  • Because churches were supposed to take on this task that i'm
  • 00:14:11.152 --> 00:14:15.089
  • Describing to you right now, this.
  • 00:14:15.089 --> 00:14:19.827
  • You know what the bible calls this?
  • 00:14:19.827 --> 00:14:22.597
  • The flesh.
  • 00:14:22.597 --> 00:14:26.601
  • That wrong way of thinking, that software influenced by the
  • 00:14:26.601 --> 00:14:33.641
  • Old nature.
  • 00:14:33.641 --> 00:14:37.545
  • You know what your issue is, you know what my issue is, you know
  • 00:14:37.545 --> 00:14:39.981
  • What the issue of the whole world is?
  • 00:14:39.981 --> 00:14:42.517
  • When you stop renewing your mind.
  • 00:14:42.517 --> 00:14:49.991
  • Something that needed to be taken care of has never been
  • 00:14:49.991 --> 00:14:55.330
  • Taken care of because you have not done a complete wipe of that
  • 00:14:55.330 --> 00:15:02.770
  • Old software from that old sinful nature.
  • 00:15:02.770 --> 00:15:10.845
  • So, how do i let the new creation dominate me?
  • 00:15:10.845 --> 00:15:15.583
  • By renewing your mind.
  • 00:15:15.583 --> 00:15:19.854
  • How do i get to a place where i'm not being dominated by the
  • 00:15:19.854 --> 00:15:24.959
  • Old nature?
  • 00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:26.294
  • The old nature is gone, but the residue of that old nature
  • 00:15:26.294 --> 00:15:30.098
  • Resides here.
  • 00:15:30.098 --> 00:15:34.335
  • Look at colossians 3:9 and 10.
  • 00:15:34.335 --> 00:15:37.105
  • The residue resides here.
  • 00:15:37.105 --> 00:15:39.207
  • And so, if we're coming to church and we're not learning
  • 00:15:39.207 --> 00:15:42.243
  • And we're getting a bunch of tomfoolery and we like what we
  • 00:15:42.243 --> 00:15:45.279
  • Feel in our body and we like to jump and scream and hop and
  • 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:48.549
  • Holler, and you're not renewing your mind to think differently,
  • 00:15:48.549 --> 00:15:55.623
  • Then the struggle continues between the new nature in you
  • 00:15:55.623 --> 00:16:00.595
  • And your behavior outside of you.
  • 00:16:00.595 --> 00:16:04.966
  • Colossians 3:9 and 10.
  • 00:16:04.966 --> 00:16:06.601
  • "lie not," not, lie down not, but quit lying.
  • 00:16:06.601 --> 00:16:15.510
  • "lie not one to another, seeing," now, notice what he
  • 00:16:15.510 --> 00:16:20.114
  • Said, "seeing that you put off the old man."
  • 00:16:20.114 --> 00:16:22.717
  • What is he saying?
  • 00:16:22.717 --> 00:16:24.352
  • The old nature--lying is a result of the old nature.
  • 00:16:24.352 --> 00:16:29.424
  • We have the nature to lie.
  • 00:16:29.424 --> 00:16:34.462
  • "lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old
  • 00:16:34.462 --> 00:16:37.799
  • Man with his deeds."
  • 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.001
  • The old man--he's saying lying, here, is one of the deeds of
  • 00:16:40.001 --> 00:16:44.372
  • Your old nature.
  • 00:16:44.372 --> 00:16:46.607
  • Verse 10, "and have put on the new man," that new creation,
  • 00:16:46.607 --> 00:16:51.279
  • "which is new--which is renewed in the knowledge--is renewed
  • 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:55.683
  • After the image of that--of him that created him."
  • 00:16:55.683 --> 00:17:02.857
  • We are never going to see what some are convicting you of if we
  • 00:17:02.857 --> 00:17:11.766
  • Don't rightly divide the word of truth and renew our mind with
  • 00:17:11.766 --> 00:17:17.071
  • This gospel of grace, it won't happen.
  • 00:17:17.071 --> 00:17:21.075
  • And i will preach this.
  • 00:17:21.075 --> 00:17:22.443
  • If everybody leaves, it won't happen.
  • 00:17:22.443 --> 00:17:25.480
  • You--somehow, coming to church has got to be a session of--a
  • 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:31.686
  • Wipe session, where each time you come, we ought to be wiping
  • 00:17:31.686 --> 00:17:37.492
  • Something else from your soul that was influenced by that old
  • 00:17:37.492 --> 00:17:42.396
  • Nature because you don't have that nature no more, but you
  • 00:17:42.396 --> 00:17:46.267
  • Still have the behavior.
  • 00:17:46.267 --> 00:17:47.735
  • Why?
  • 00:17:47.735 --> 00:17:49.103
  • It's a soul wipe.
  • 00:17:49.103 --> 00:17:50.438
  • It's--like, i use the cell phone.
  • 00:17:50.438 --> 00:17:52.840
  • It's time for a update.
  • 00:17:52.840 --> 00:17:55.910
  • You can't get a--we keep trying to use the same software for a
  • 00:17:55.910 --> 00:18:01.916
  • New laptop and expecting a new output, won't happen.
  • 00:18:01.916 --> 00:18:08.055
  • Even though it's brand new, you still gonna get the same output.
  • 00:18:08.055 --> 00:18:13.928
  • It's not like this is the first time i've talked about this.
  • 00:18:13.928 --> 00:18:20.401
  • It is that every time i talk about it, satan figures out a
  • 00:18:20.401 --> 00:18:23.671
  • Way to belittle and cause us to be subtle, where we get to
  • 00:18:23.671 --> 00:18:32.146
  • Focus in on all of the religious stuff and we don't stick to
  • 00:18:32.146 --> 00:18:37.785
  • The facts.
  • 00:18:37.785 --> 00:18:41.389
  • Taffi and i were counseling somebody yesterday and we said,
  • 00:18:41.389 --> 00:18:44.859
  • "don't let the emotions get in the way, write it down, stick
  • 00:18:44.859 --> 00:18:47.962
  • With the facts."
  • 00:18:47.962 --> 00:18:50.264
  • Because you know how it is, you start arguing about something,
  • 00:18:50.264 --> 00:18:52.333
  • And then you'll leave the facts and then talking about,
  • 00:18:52.333 --> 00:18:55.002
  • "oh, i always.
  • 00:18:55.002 --> 00:18:56.337
  • Oh, i always.
  • 00:18:56.337 --> 00:18:57.705
  • What about the time i did that," and that ain't even
  • 00:18:57.705 --> 00:18:59.173
  • Got nothing to do with that.
  • 00:18:59.173 --> 00:19:00.508
  • Stick with the facts.
  • 00:19:00.508 --> 00:19:03.010
  • And we don't do that at church.
  • 00:19:03.010 --> 00:19:05.446
  • We come to church and just see how i'm gonna feel today.
  • 00:19:05.446 --> 00:19:09.417
  • "oh, i feel it real good--oh, i really feel good today.
  • 00:19:09.417 --> 00:19:11.919
  • Oh, i know god gonna answer my prayer today because i felt like
  • 00:19:11.919 --> 00:19:15.556
  • Praying this morning."
  • 00:19:15.556 --> 00:19:16.891
  • You--you all--anything the devil can do to keep you out of
  • 00:19:16.891 --> 00:19:22.163
  • Renewing your mind with the word of god, which means you need to
  • 00:19:22.163 --> 00:19:27.101
  • Post yourself up somewhere where your mind is being renewed
  • 00:19:27.101 --> 00:19:30.938
  • Properly with the right information in the software.
  • 00:19:30.938 --> 00:19:34.909
  • You know what happened?
  • 00:19:34.909 --> 00:19:36.244
  • We got born again and start renewing our mind with the
  • 00:19:36.244 --> 00:19:39.146
  • Wrong stuff.
  • 00:19:39.146 --> 00:19:42.016
  • We started renewing our minds with rules and not
  • 00:19:42.016 --> 00:19:46.487
  • Removing--renewing our mind with the savior.
  • 00:19:46.487 --> 00:19:51.559
  • And so, we care more about keeping rules than we do about
  • 00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:55.496
  • Loving people.
  • 00:19:55.496 --> 00:20:00.768
  • And sometimes, "if you didn't keep the rules, i ain't gonna
  • 00:20:00.768 --> 00:20:04.205
  • Love you."
  • 00:20:04.205 --> 00:20:06.941
  • "did you pray this morning?
  • 00:20:06.941 --> 00:20:08.943
  • How much did you sin this week?
  • 00:20:08.943 --> 00:20:10.544
  • Uh-oh, can't feed you, the bible says touch not the unclean, you
  • 00:20:10.544 --> 00:20:14.849
  • Look like you real dirty today."
  • 00:20:14.849 --> 00:20:18.486
  • That ain't right.
  • 00:20:18.486 --> 00:20:21.122
  • Now you have a religious software that is based on your
  • 00:20:21.122 --> 00:20:27.295
  • Self-performance, your self-effort, and jesus
  • 00:20:27.295 --> 00:20:31.565
  • Ain't nowhere.
  • 00:20:31.565 --> 00:20:32.900
  • It's based on your law-keeping and jesus ain't nowhere.
  • 00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:35.436
  • So, you're--you have him in you
  • 00:20:35.436 --> 00:20:41.409
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:20:41.409 --> 00:20:42.843
  • You know something wrong because even when you do that, talking
  • 00:20:42.843 --> 00:20:46.714
  • About "touch not the unclean," the impulses of the new
  • 00:20:46.714 --> 00:20:49.583
  • Creation's, like, saying, "no, that ain't right, that
  • 00:20:49.583 --> 00:20:51.819
  • Ain't right."
  • 00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:53.187
  • And you know what you have to do?
  • 00:20:53.187 --> 00:20:54.522
  • You start going and try to find more scriptures and rules to
  • 00:20:54.522 --> 00:20:58.559
  • Make you feel better about what you did while you completely
  • 00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:01.962
  • Ignore and harden your hearing to the impulses of the new
  • 00:21:01.962 --> 00:21:05.833
  • Creation on the inside of you that says, "something ain't
  • 00:21:05.833 --> 00:21:08.302
  • Right about what i just did."
  • 00:21:08.302 --> 00:21:18.212
  • So, who wants to come to church and learn stuff?
  • 00:21:18.212 --> 00:21:26.287
  • I ain't talking about y'all, stop.
  • 00:21:26.287 --> 00:21:30.891
  • Romans 12, verse 1 and 2 in the nlt.
  • 00:21:30.891 --> 00:21:33.060
  • Romans 12:1 and 2 in the nlt.
  • 00:21:33.060 --> 00:21:37.398
  • "and so, dear brothers and sisters, i plead with you to
  • 00:21:37.398 --> 00:21:40.434
  • Give your bodies to god."
  • 00:21:40.434 --> 00:21:44.672
  • Now i get it.
  • 00:21:44.672 --> 00:21:46.040
  • You know what he's talking about?
  • 00:21:46.040 --> 00:21:47.708
  • This god that's on the inside of you.
  • 00:21:47.708 --> 00:21:51.045
  • "give your bodies to god because of all he has done for you,"
  • 00:21:51.045 --> 00:21:57.585
  • He's paid the price, was the propitiation for your sins,
  • 00:21:57.585 --> 00:22:01.088
  • Moved into you, gave you a new creation, a new nature, a nature
  • 00:22:01.088 --> 00:22:06.494
  • To live righteously.
  • 00:22:06.494 --> 00:22:10.164
  • "let them be a living and a holy sacrifice--the kind he will
  • 00:22:10.164 --> 00:22:15.035
  • Find acceptable.
  • 00:22:15.035 --> 00:22:16.604
  • This is truly the way to worship him."
  • 00:22:16.604 --> 00:22:19.073
  • Verse two, "don't copy the behavior and the customs of the
  • 00:22:19.073 --> 00:22:23.210
