  • Creflo: everybody that's seated right here right now, the grace
  • 00:01:40.235 --> 00:01:42.271
  • Of god is already at work.
  • 00:01:42.271 --> 00:01:44.706
  • He's already at work.
  • 00:01:44.706 --> 00:01:46.041
  • He's already at work changing you.
  • 00:01:46.041 --> 00:01:48.343
  • Philippians says that he's working--he's working--he is
  • 00:01:48.343 --> 00:01:52.281
  • Working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what
  • 00:01:52.281 --> 00:01:56.485
  • Pleases him.
  • 00:01:56.485 --> 00:01:58.020
  • You think you have to earn that, but you gotta rest in this, that
  • 00:01:58.020 --> 00:02:03.325
  • The grace of god is already at work.
  • 00:02:03.325 --> 00:02:06.228
  • He's already at work.
  • 00:02:06.228 --> 00:02:07.596
  • You might not see nothing right now, you--it might not seem like
  • 00:02:07.596 --> 00:02:09.965
  • Nothing's changed with you right now, but he's already at work.
  • 00:02:09.965 --> 00:02:12.568
  • Now, i gotta rest that the grace of god is already at work.
  • 00:02:12.568 --> 00:02:15.938
  • And so, i--what happens?
  • 00:02:15.938 --> 00:02:17.639
  • When i don't see something right away, i have a tendency to work
  • 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:21.410
  • Harder instead of trusting deeper.
  • 00:02:21.410 --> 00:02:27.049
  • And i gotta get up in the morning and i gotta
  • 00:02:27.049 --> 00:02:28.784
  • Trust deeper.
  • 00:02:28.784 --> 00:02:30.118
  • The grace of god is already at work.
  • 00:02:30.118 --> 00:02:31.486
  • Just cuss somebody out and you gotta say, "the grace of god's
  • 00:02:31.486 --> 00:02:34.389
  • Already at work on me."
  • 00:02:34.389 --> 00:02:35.724
  • You gotta see the plan of the devil.
  • 00:02:35.724 --> 00:02:37.059
  • If he can get you to get in those crazy behaviors, he can
  • 00:02:37.059 --> 00:02:40.662
  • Convince you, "ain't none of that true."
  • 00:02:40.662 --> 00:02:44.199
  • And the greatest fear amongst christian people is that what
  • 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.169
  • God promised is not true.
  • 00:02:47.169 --> 00:02:52.207
  • So, i'm finding rest in that the grace of god is already at work
  • 00:02:52.207 --> 00:02:56.912
  • In me.
  • 00:02:56.912 --> 00:02:59.047
  • "well, why you just do that?"
  • 00:02:59.047 --> 00:03:00.482
  • Yeah, but i'm the righteousness of god,
  • 00:03:00.482 --> 00:03:05.687
  • And i trust he loves me.
  • 00:03:05.687 --> 00:03:09.858
  • And i enter into the rest that his grace is already working
  • 00:03:09.858 --> 00:03:15.697
  • In me.
  • 00:03:15.697 --> 00:03:17.132
  • Well, what are we doing here?
  • 00:03:17.132 --> 00:03:20.269
  • We're developing our innocence consciousness.
  • 00:03:20.269 --> 00:03:26.808
  • We're well developed in sin consciousness.
  • 00:03:26.808 --> 00:03:31.079
  • And we are more conscious of sin than we are of the innocence,
  • 00:03:31.079 --> 00:03:36.518
  • The freedom of--or from sin and the freedom from backsliding
  • 00:03:36.518 --> 00:03:43.558
  • Back into righteousness.
  • 00:03:43.558 --> 00:03:46.228
  • I used to struggle with that.
  • 00:03:46.228 --> 00:03:47.663
  • "well, can a christian backslide?"
  • 00:03:47.663 --> 00:03:49.698
  • Well, first of all, what kind of christian are you?
  • 00:03:49.698 --> 00:03:51.867
  • Are you really a christian?
  • 00:03:51.867 --> 00:03:55.304
  • "can a christian backslide?"
  • 00:03:55.304 --> 00:03:57.706
  • And when i never--when i answered it, boy, the body of
  • 00:03:57.706 --> 00:03:59.474
  • Christ went crazy.
  • 00:03:59.474 --> 00:04:00.809
  • I said, "no, what god did is from everlasting to everlasting.
  • 00:04:00.809 --> 00:04:04.212
  • And it was from scripture to scripture."
  • 00:04:04.212 --> 00:04:05.814
  • Once i'm in christ, he promised me that ain't nothing that's
  • 00:04:05.814 --> 00:04:12.321
  • Gonna change.
  • 00:04:12.321 --> 00:04:13.655
  • I'm in christ.
  • 00:04:13.655 --> 00:04:15.023
  • Now, religious people, it bothers you because
  • 00:04:15.023 --> 00:04:16.358
  • You're religious.
  • 00:04:16.358 --> 00:04:17.859
  • You ain't done no more studying than what you've already heard.
  • 00:04:17.859 --> 00:04:21.563
  • There are numbers of scriptures that tell you that once he
  • 00:04:21.563 --> 00:04:24.733
  • Receives you, he never gonna let you go.
  • 00:04:24.733 --> 00:04:28.737
  • And you're still going around thinking a sip of liquor was
  • 00:04:28.737 --> 00:04:32.240
  • Enough to snatch you out of the hands of god.
  • 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.843
  • He's married to you.
  • 00:04:34.843 --> 00:04:36.445
  • He will not--
  • 00:04:36.445 --> 00:04:39.147
  • Can you backslide?
  • 00:04:41.983 --> 00:04:43.318
  • Yes, but he said, "i married the backslider, and the murderer,
  • 00:04:43.318 --> 00:04:47.389
  • And the adulterer.
  • 00:04:47.389 --> 00:04:48.757
  • I married all that stuff.
  • 00:04:48.757 --> 00:04:50.559
  • I took you with all your mess."
  • 00:04:50.559 --> 00:04:52.894
  • And you still won't hear the teaching of the gospel because
  • 00:04:52.894 --> 00:04:58.033
  • You're listening to performers and not people who have a
  • 00:04:58.033 --> 00:05:01.269
  • Craving to get in that word, and study it, and see what it says.
  • 00:05:01.269 --> 00:05:18.687
  • I mean, read hebrews 10.
  • 00:05:22.224 --> 00:05:24.826
  • Read the whole thing.
  • 00:05:24.826 --> 00:05:30.799
  • Titus chapter 2, verse 11 through 14 in the
  • 00:05:30.799 --> 00:05:35.437
  • Mirror translation.
  • 00:05:35.437 --> 00:05:37.739
  • Okay, titus 2:11 through 14 in the mirror translation.
  • 00:05:37.739 --> 00:05:44.713
  • All right, y'all ready for this?
  • 00:05:44.713 --> 00:05:50.685
  • Okay, "the grace of god shines as bright as day making
  • 00:05:50.685 --> 00:05:59.928
  • Salvation of mankind undeniably visible.
  • 00:05:59.928 --> 00:06:09.404
  • The day and age we live in sets the stage for displaying the
  • 00:06:09.404 --> 00:06:15.143
  • Attraction of an awe-inspired life."
  • 00:06:15.143 --> 00:06:20.682
  • Watch this, "our minds are rescued."
  • 00:06:20.682 --> 00:06:29.391
  • You remember when the word said that god as our shepherd, he is
  • 00:06:29.391 --> 00:06:35.564
  • Patiently shepherding us into a radical mind shift?
  • 00:06:35.564 --> 00:06:45.440
  • 'cause if you don't change your mind, you ain't gonna change
  • 00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:47.075
  • Your life.
  • 00:06:47.075 --> 00:06:49.578
  • And you can't tell me that religious teaching has changed
  • 00:06:49.578 --> 00:06:52.047
  • Your life.
  • 00:06:52.047 --> 00:06:54.149
  • Yeah, there's certain things you stop doing but in some--in
  • 00:06:54.149 --> 00:06:56.852
  • Certain areas you're more miserable than ever.
  • 00:06:56.852 --> 00:07:01.857
  • Why you come to church and greeting everybody?
  • 00:07:01.857 --> 00:07:03.391
  • "praise the lord, brother.
  • 00:07:03.391 --> 00:07:04.759
  • Hey, sister, god bless you, praise the lord."
  • 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.630
  • While you use your christianity as a costume to cover up
  • 00:07:08.630 --> 00:07:14.102
  • Your reality.
  • 00:07:14.102 --> 00:07:17.772
  • Ain't no difference between you and halloween.
  • 00:07:17.772 --> 00:07:20.075
  • You got your halloween costume too.
  • 00:07:20.075 --> 00:07:23.845
  • You dress up every sunday with something you want people to
  • 00:07:23.845 --> 00:07:28.149
  • See, to cover up what you don't want them to see while you go to
  • 00:07:28.149 --> 00:07:35.123
  • Church and lift your hands up like everything is cool under
  • 00:07:35.123 --> 00:07:38.727
  • The law.
  • 00:07:38.727 --> 00:07:44.132
  • Now, you know i gotta be delivered from approval
  • 00:07:44.132 --> 00:07:46.001
  • Addiction to preach like this.
  • 00:07:46.001 --> 00:07:49.638
  • Yeah, people going crazy, especially preachers.
  • 00:07:49.638 --> 00:07:51.806
  • [growling]
  • 00:07:51.806 --> 00:07:55.243
  • All right, watch this, "our minds are rescued," watch this,
  • 00:07:59.414 --> 00:08:04.119
  • Watch this, man.
  • 00:08:04.119 --> 00:08:05.620
  • "it's rescued in the revelation of righteousness."
  • 00:08:05.620 --> 00:08:12.627
  • Stop right there.
  • 00:08:12.627 --> 00:08:13.995
  • If you don't mind, please let me explain that.
  • 00:08:13.995 --> 00:08:16.431
  • My mind is rescued.
  • 00:08:16.431 --> 00:08:20.769
  • If somebody is in need of rescue, that means they're in
  • 00:08:20.769 --> 00:08:24.573
  • Danger, right?
  • 00:08:24.573 --> 00:08:27.943
  • And my mind under traditional religious belief is
  • 00:08:27.943 --> 00:08:32.781
  • Endangering something.
  • 00:08:32.781 --> 00:08:34.950
  • And he said, "the revelation of this righteousness--" what is
  • 00:08:34.950 --> 00:08:39.988
  • This revelation of righteousness?
  • 00:08:39.988 --> 00:08:41.690
  • The revelation of righteousness is, i am righteous not because
  • 00:08:41.690 --> 00:08:45.860
  • Of what i do, i am righteous because of what jesus has done.
  • 00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:50.966
  • Am i righteous because of what i do?
  • 00:08:50.966 --> 00:08:52.934
  • No, i'm righteous because of jesus.
  • 00:08:52.934 --> 00:08:55.403
  • I have his righteousness.
  • 00:08:55.403 --> 00:08:58.073
  • Even when i don't do right, i'm righteous because of him.
  • 00:08:58.073 --> 00:09:02.677
  • And i can't lose my righteousness, why?
  • 00:09:02.677 --> 00:09:04.879
  • Because my righteousness is not based on me, my righteousness is
  • 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:08.249
  • Based on jesus.
  • 00:09:08.249 --> 00:09:09.584
  • And as long as jesus is right, i'm right.
  • 00:09:09.584 --> 00:09:15.490
  • Jesus is my righteousness.
  • 00:09:15.490 --> 00:09:17.292
  • Take jesus away, i can't be righteousness.
  • 00:09:17.292 --> 00:09:21.296
  • That's why he said before jesus, all of our righteousness in the
  • 00:09:21.296 --> 00:09:24.132
  • Old testament is nothing but filthy rags.
  • 00:09:24.132 --> 00:09:28.870
  • 'cause nothing you do can make you righteous.
  • 00:09:28.870 --> 00:09:33.141
  • I tried it.
  • 00:09:33.141 --> 00:09:35.577
  • I tried it, living under the law.
  • 00:09:35.577 --> 00:09:37.445
  • I tried it.
  • 00:09:37.445 --> 00:09:38.780
  • I tried to join as many departments as i could.
  • 00:09:38.780 --> 00:09:40.315
  • I tried to cut the grass of the church, i cleaned up, i
  • 00:09:40.315 --> 00:09:44.119
  • Did everything.
  • 00:09:44.119 --> 00:09:45.453
  • I did--i did.
  • 00:09:45.453 --> 00:09:46.821
  • I did it all and it ended up being me depressed.
  • 00:09:46.821 --> 00:09:52.327
  • Calling my pastor, saying, "i ain't coming to church
  • 00:09:52.327 --> 00:09:56.064
  • This afternoon."
  • 00:09:56.064 --> 00:09:57.532
  • He said, "why?"
  • 00:09:57.532 --> 00:09:58.900
  • I said, "i am tired."
  • 00:09:58.900 --> 00:10:03.304
  • But what i meant was, "i am depressed."
  • 00:10:03.304 --> 00:10:07.942
  • Ain't nothing working.
  • 00:10:07.942 --> 00:10:09.310
  • I'm broke as the ten commandments that moses dropped
  • 00:10:09.310 --> 00:10:11.780
  • At the bottom of mount sinai.
  • 00:10:11.780 --> 00:10:14.783
  • I'm believing god for some shoes so my feet could stop getting
  • 00:10:14.783 --> 00:10:17.519
  • Wet and i can stop putting plastic when it's raining.
  • 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.922
  • It ain't working.
  • 00:10:20.922 --> 00:10:23.792
  • I'm supposed to be saved.
  • 00:10:23.792 --> 00:10:25.493
  • I'm supposed to be a preacher.
  • 00:10:25.493 --> 00:10:27.128
  • I'm trying to figure out why do i still have this lust.
  • 00:10:27.128 --> 00:10:33.568
  • Why won't it go away?
  • 00:10:33.568 --> 00:10:35.437
  • I'm doing it all.
  • 00:10:35.437 --> 00:10:36.771
  • I have pages of confession.
  • 00:10:36.771 --> 00:10:38.840
  • I pray in tongues an hour and a half a day.
  • 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.644
  • I got baptized twice.
  • 00:10:42.644 --> 00:10:52.187
  • I had everybody i thought was anointed lay hands on me.
  • 00:10:52.187 --> 00:11:00.929
  • It doesn't work.
  • 00:11:00.929 --> 00:11:05.900
  • And when people started dying, that i loved, i did everything
  • 00:11:05.900 --> 00:11:11.106
  • The law said.
  • 00:11:11.106 --> 00:11:12.474
  • I got the little thing you put over your shoulder, and got the
  • 00:11:12.474 --> 00:11:16.845
  • Oil, and i laid hands carefully, and i fasted before
  • 00:11:16.845 --> 00:11:20.949
  • I laid hands.
  • 00:11:20.949 --> 00:11:22.317
  • And i did it all, and they still died.
  • 00:11:22.317 --> 00:11:31.760
  • And one night about midnight, i said, "i can't do this no more.
  • 00:11:31.760 --> 00:11:39.801
  • I'm gonna have to resign from the church.
  • 00:11:42.203 --> 00:11:43.772
  • I can't do this no more.
  • 00:11:43.772 --> 00:11:45.306
  • I am a pastor most miserable because i know i'm preaching
  • 00:11:45.306 --> 00:11:49.778
  • Something that i know don't work."
  • 00:11:49.778 --> 00:11:56.184
  • And i said, "i ain't going to bed until you show me.
  • 00:11:56.184 --> 00:12:01.723
  • Something missing, something ain't right."
  • 00:12:01.723 --> 00:12:06.027
  • And as i stepped from my office, he said, "would you become a
  • 00:12:06.027 --> 00:12:12.333
  • Student of grace?"
  • 00:12:12.333 --> 00:12:14.869
  • I heard that as clear as you hear me right now.
  • 00:12:14.869 --> 00:12:17.705
  • And that's all he said.
  • 00:12:17.705 --> 00:12:19.307
  • I said, "wha--?"
  • 00:12:19.307 --> 00:12:22.110
  • Because here's what i thought.
  • 00:12:22.110 --> 00:12:23.478
  • I thought i was already a student of grace.
  • 00:12:23.478 --> 00:12:27.182
  • It was too clear for me to let it go.
  • 00:12:27.182 --> 00:12:30.285
  • Came in the office the next day and i said, "y'all, look up
  • 00:12:30.285 --> 00:12:32.353
  • Every scripture with grace in it.
  • 00:12:32.353 --> 00:12:34.556
  • I'm missing something."
  • 00:12:34.556 --> 00:12:35.957
  • I went to the bookstore, "let me get everything everybody else
  • 00:12:35.957 --> 00:12:38.359
  • Said about grace, i'm missing something.
  • 00:12:38.359 --> 00:12:40.228
  • I'm blind to something."
  • 00:12:40.228 --> 00:12:43.965
  • Then i got to start reading it and translating it properly.
  • 00:12:43.965 --> 00:12:49.938
  • And i'm thinking, "how in the world did i miss this?
  • 00:12:49.938 --> 00:12:55.677
  • How did i miss this?"
  • 00:12:55.677 --> 00:12:57.979
  • And--mm. excuse me.
  • 00:12:57.979 --> 00:13:05.019
  • I missed this.
  • 00:13:05.019 --> 00:13:08.790
  • And i said, "lord,
  • 00:13:08.790 --> 00:13:17.298
  • Something--something left me."
  • 00:13:17.298 --> 00:13:21.469
  • Somebody said, "what was it?"
  • 00:13:21.469 --> 00:13:22.837
  • The spirit of religion.
  • 00:13:22.837 --> 00:13:28.576
  • The demon of religion.
  • 00:13:28.576 --> 00:13:33.615
  • I went outside and lift my hands up.
  • 00:13:33.615 --> 00:13:37.852
  • And i said, "i ain't never been perfect and i probably ain't
  • 00:13:37.852 --> 00:13:41.422
  • Gonna be in this lifetime.
  • 00:13:41.422 --> 00:13:43.458
  • However, if you'll give me the strength and teach me, i'll
  • 00:13:43.458 --> 00:13:49.364
  • Preach this grace message until i leave this planet.
  • 00:13:49.364 --> 00:13:53.434
  • And i will not stop.
  • 00:13:53.434 --> 00:13:55.970
  • If you'll show me what to do, i'll preach it."
  • 00:13:55.970 --> 00:14:00.475
  • And god must have knew.
  • 00:14:00.475 --> 00:14:01.809
  • Well, we got some work to do because you are addicted to
  • 00:14:01.809 --> 00:14:07.348
  • Approval of people.
  • 00:14:07.348 --> 00:14:09.984
  • You indulge in to what they think about you and what they
  • 00:14:09.984 --> 00:14:15.957
  • Say about you.
  • 00:14:15.957 --> 00:14:17.592
  • And until we can get rid of that, you gotta go
  • 00:14:17.592 --> 00:14:22.096
  • Into training.
  • 00:14:22.096 --> 00:14:23.464
  • Because the bible says if you do this for people's approval,
  • 00:14:23.464 --> 00:14:27.735
  • You can't be a servant to god.
  • 00:14:27.735 --> 00:14:33.374
  • Some--you ever had somebody ask you a question, "why is death so
  • 00:14:33.374 --> 00:14:38.313
  • Fearful to people?
  • 00:14:38.313 --> 00:14:40.548
  • Why so many people afraid to die?"
  • 00:14:40.548 --> 00:14:43.051
  • You know why?
  • 00:14:43.051 --> 00:14:44.385
  • Because of sin and their belief that they hadn't been granted
  • 00:14:44.385 --> 00:14:50.291
  • Dismissal from it.
  • 00:14:50.291 --> 00:14:53.661
  • You don't think you've been free.
  • 00:14:53.661 --> 00:14:55.063
  • You don't think you've been forgiven.
  • 00:14:55.063 --> 00:14:56.698
  • You think that everything is gonna--god's gonna hold you
  • 00:14:56.698 --> 00:15:00.568
  • Accountable to it because you still have a sin conscience.
  • 00:15:00.568 --> 00:15:04.973
  • And so, the closer you get to death, the more fearful death is
  • 00:15:04.973 --> 00:15:09.677
  • Because of sin, because of your sin consciousness.
  • 00:15:09.677 --> 00:15:19.721
  • The revelation of the righteousness of god clearly
  • 00:15:21.789 --> 00:15:30.798
  • Shows us how completely god has redeemed or delivered us.
  • 00:15:30.798 --> 00:15:38.906
  • When you get a revelation of the righteousness of god, it clearly
  • 00:15:38.906 --> 00:15:41.943
  • Shows you you have been redeemed.
  • 00:15:41.943 --> 00:15:46.114
  • When you get a revelation of the righteousness of god, it clearly
  • 00:15:46.114 --> 00:15:49.150
  • Shows you you have been delivered from sin.
  • 00:15:49.150 --> 00:15:54.088
  • Hey, i'll go ahead and answer that.
  • 00:15:54.088 --> 00:15:55.423
  • "well, if i've been delivered from sin,
  • 00:15:55.423 --> 00:15:56.791
  • How comes i'm still sinning?"
  • 00:15:56.791 --> 00:15:58.126
  • No, the thing that separated you from god was that
  • 00:15:58.126 --> 00:16:01.062
  • Sin nature.
  • 00:16:01.062 --> 00:16:02.430
  • And when you got born again, you got delivered from the
  • 00:16:02.430 --> 00:16:04.832
  • Sin nature.
  • 00:16:04.832 --> 00:16:08.036
  • You're still sinning because your mind is still being renewed
  • 00:16:08.036 --> 00:16:11.406
  • And god is still working on you, but he delivered you from the
  • 00:16:11.406 --> 00:16:14.776
  • Sin nature.
  • 00:16:14.776 --> 00:16:16.110
  • You are no longer separated from god.
  • 00:16:16.110 --> 00:16:18.079
  • That's why the new creation could come on the inside of you
  • 00:16:18.079 --> 00:16:21.215
  • And begin to do the work of continuously transforming you.
  • 00:16:21.215 --> 00:16:29.257
  • The revelation of this righteousness completely shows
  • 00:16:32.060 --> 00:16:35.830
  • Me how complete my redemption is.
  • 00:16:35.830 --> 00:16:38.866
  • I am redeemed because i have the--the--the--
  • 00:16:38.866 --> 00:16:47.141
  • Oh, what's the word?
  • 00:16:47.141 --> 00:16:49.043
  • Enough guts to walk away from a crazy behavior day and say, "i'm
  • 00:16:49.043 --> 00:16:56.951
  • Still the righteousness of god."
  • 00:16:56.951 --> 00:17:00.388
  • The revelation of righteousness continues to say to me, "look
  • 00:17:00.388 --> 00:17:04.192
  • How complete your redemption is."
  • 00:17:04.192 --> 00:17:08.429
  • I am delivered, i am delivered not based on what i did to get
  • 00:17:08.429 --> 00:17:12.600
  • Delivered, i am delivered because he delivered me, and no
  • 00:17:12.600 --> 00:17:15.303
  • Matter what i do, i ain't gonna back up into that thing.
  • 00:17:15.303 --> 00:17:17.872
  • I am really delivered.
  • 00:17:17.872 --> 00:17:19.207
  • I am the righteousness of god.
  • 00:17:19.207 --> 00:17:21.542
  • I am the righteousness of god and the revelation that shows me
  • 00:17:21.542 --> 00:17:24.912
  • How redeemed i am.
  • 00:17:24.912 --> 00:17:30.818
  • Somebody shout, "i am redeemed."
  • 00:17:30.818 --> 00:17:35.823
  • All right, watch this now.
  • 00:17:35.823 --> 00:17:37.158
  • Now--now--
  • 00:17:37.158 --> 00:17:39.861
  • But a revelation of that righteousness also empowered us
  • 00:17:43.865 --> 00:17:53.875
  • To cultivate and develop an innocence consciousness rather
  • 00:17:53.875 --> 00:18:03.317
  • Than a sin consciousness.
  • 00:18:03.317 --> 00:18:06.687
  • Let me say it again, so the revelation of that
  • 00:18:06.687 --> 00:18:09.590
  • Righteousness, and you understanding that you are the
  • 00:18:09.590 --> 00:18:14.061
  • Righteousness of god because jesus is your righteousness, you
  • 00:18:14.061 --> 00:18:19.634
  • Get to hanging around that revelation of righteousness, and
  • 00:18:19.634 --> 00:18:24.272
  • You start developing innocence.
  • 00:18:24.272 --> 00:18:31.579
  • I am innocent from all of the charges that the old testament
  • 00:18:31.579 --> 00:18:35.550
  • Put on me.
  • 00:18:35.550 --> 00:18:38.586
  • Every charge of sin, every guilt, every shame, all the
  • 00:18:38.586 --> 00:18:44.492
  • Condemnation, it has been announced that i am innocent
  • 00:18:44.492 --> 00:18:50.898
  • From it.
  • 00:18:50.898 --> 00:18:52.533
  • And so, rather than walking around with this sin
  • 00:18:52.533 --> 00:18:54.635
  • Consciousness, i walk around thinking, "i'm innocent,"
  • 00:18:54.635 --> 00:19:00.675
  • You know what'll deliver you from your crazy behavior?
  • 00:19:00.675 --> 00:19:05.947
  • "i'm innocent.
  • 00:19:05.947 --> 00:19:07.481
  • Wait a minute, i'm innocent.
  • 00:19:07.481 --> 00:19:10.618
  • Yeah, that was dumb, what i did, but i'm innocent, i've
  • 00:19:10.618 --> 00:19:15.356
  • Been washed."
  • 00:19:15.356 --> 00:19:16.724
  • One translation says, "i'm being continuously cleansed."
  • 00:19:16.724 --> 00:19:24.765
  • I cultivate it and become more conscious of my innocence
  • 00:19:24.765 --> 00:19:34.775
  • While i become less conscious of my sin, why?
  • 00:19:34.775 --> 00:19:41.782
  • Because jesus is taking care of me.
  • 00:19:41.782 --> 00:19:43.150
  • Here's what he says, "if you would develop innocence
  • 00:19:43.150 --> 00:19:47.755
  • Consciousness, i can develop you.
  • 00:19:47.755 --> 00:19:55.396
  • But what's slowing up the development of you is your
  • 00:19:55.396 --> 00:19:59.800
  • Consciousness of your sin that i have--keep telling you i have
  • 00:19:59.800 --> 00:20:03.804
  • Dealt with.
  • 00:20:03.804 --> 00:20:05.406
  • I keep telling you i'm not coming back for your sins."
  • 00:20:05.406 --> 00:20:07.908
  • Hebrews 9:28--but yeah, pull that up in the nlt.
  • 00:20:07.908 --> 00:20:13.414
  • Hebrews 9:28, and then go back to where we just left off of and
  • 00:20:13.414 --> 00:20:16.884
  • Then i'm gonna close it.
  • 00:20:16.884 --> 00:20:18.486
  • I got 45 seconds to do all of it, let's go.
  • 00:20:18.486 --> 00:20:22.757
  • Hebrews 9:28 says, "so also christ was offered once for all
  • 00:20:22.757 --> 00:20:28.129
  • Time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people.
  • 00:20:28.129 --> 00:20:34.035
  • He will come again, but not to deal with our sins, but to bring
  • 00:20:34.035 --> 00:20:39.674
  • Salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him."
  • 00:20:39.674 --> 00:20:45.279
  • Now, that's interesting because we're already saved.
  • 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:49.216
  • But sin consciousness say, "oh, jesus is coming back.
  • 00:20:53.321 --> 00:20:55.823
  • All of my sin, all of my sin, oh."
  • 00:20:55.823 --> 00:21:00.761
  • It ought to be, "jesus coming back, i'm innocent.
  • 00:21:00.761 --> 00:21:03.664
  • I'm ready, bring it on.
  • 00:21:03.664 --> 00:21:05.833
  • Come quickly, lord jesus."
  • 00:21:05.833 --> 00:21:07.468
  • But you ain't doing that because it's all sin.
  • 00:21:07.468 --> 00:21:09.670
  • "oh, sin, sin."
  • 00:21:09.670 --> 00:21:12.373
  • Nobody ain't going around here telling you, "you are absolutely
  • 00:21:15.643 --> 00:21:19.580
  • Flawlessly perfect."
  • 00:21:19.580 --> 00:21:20.915
  • You know that, ain't nobody got to tell you that.
  • 00:21:20.915 --> 00:21:25.920
  • But what you need to hear is that i'm innocent.
  • 00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:30.725
  • Say it, try it, say it, "i'm innocent."
  • 00:21:30.725 --> 00:21:33.861
  • Say it again, "i'm innocent."
  • 00:21:33.861 --> 00:21:36.197
  • So, when the shame comes, say it.
  • 00:21:36.197 --> 00:21:39.367
  • When the guilt comes, say it.
  • 00:21:39.367 --> 00:21:41.869
  • When the condemnation comes, say it.
  • 00:21:41.869 --> 00:21:44.205
  • That's what's got to be developed.
  • 00:21:48.008 --> 00:21:53.948
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:21:53.948 --> 00:21:55.983
  • Now, go back to mirror.
  • 00:21:56.851 --> 00:21:59.553
  • He said, "our minds," verse 12, "are rescued in the revelation
  • 00:21:59.553 --> 00:22:04.792
  • Of righteousness," you see that now?
  • 00:22:04.792 --> 00:22:08.462
  • "we are in the school of grace, instructed how to thoroughly
  • 00:22:08.462 --> 00:22:15.669
  • Reverse the apathy and indifference that erupts in a
  • 00:22:15.669 --> 00:22:22.009
  • Wave of lust that would seek to dictate the day."
  • 00:22:22.009 --> 00:22:28.048
  • You ever had stuff to rise up on the inside of you that cease to
  • 00:22:28.048 --> 00:22:31.352
  • Dictate your day?
  • 00:22:31.352 --> 00:22:36.123
  • "everyone must welcome with open arms the outrageously blessed
  • 00:22:36.123 --> 00:22:42.163
  • Expectation; jesus is what the world was waiting for.
  • 00:22:42.163 --> 00:22:47.468
  • He radiates the brilliant intent of god engineered by his
  • 00:22:47.468 --> 00:22:53.040
  • Greatness to rescue the world,"
  • 00:22:53.040 --> 00:22:56.811
  • There it is again, kid, "in him.
  • 00:22:56.811 --> 00:23:02.550
