She was taking where, from his side.
00:00:15.128 --> 00:00:19.766
You're not his rib, you know.
00:00:19.766 --> 00:00:21.334
No, that means side.
00:00:21.334 --> 00:00:24.104
Yeah, you know, you my rib, you know, you my rib.
00:00:24.104 --> 00:00:26.973
No, side by side, that's 'cause i'm supposed to be by your side.
00:00:26.973 --> 00:00:31.945

00:01:46.119 --> 00:01:50.890
Taffi: let's turn in our bibles to the book of colossians
00:01:50.957 --> 00:01:53.193
Chapter 1 verse 14 and colossians chapter 2.
00:01:53.193 --> 00:01:59.365
I want to talk about "who's the boss."
00:01:59.365 --> 00:02:04.237
That's always a big one.
00:02:04.237 --> 00:02:06.406
I was over in africa and back in january we were there and creflo
00:02:06.406 --> 00:02:11.211
Was celebrating his birthday and we had a q&a time and that was
00:02:11.211 --> 00:02:15.481
One of the things they wanted to know was, who is the boss.
00:02:15.481 --> 00:02:20.353
And so hopefully through what we look at in the word of god,
00:02:20.353 --> 00:02:23.289
You'll be able to answer that by the spirit of god.
00:02:23.289 --> 00:02:28.228
In colossians chapter 1 verse 14 it says, "in whom we have
00:02:28.228 --> 00:02:35.835
Redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sin,"
00:02:35.835 --> 00:02:40.039
Someone say jesus is my redeemer.
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.776
And so it was through the redemption of his blood, his
00:02:43.776 --> 00:02:46.913
Precious blood that was shed on the garden of gethsemane and on
00:02:46.913 --> 00:02:51.217
Calvary's cross that we as the proprietaries and the--those who
00:02:51.217 --> 00:02:55.021
Are the beneficiaries of it have the opportunity to have their
00:02:55.021 --> 00:02:59.225
Forgiveness of sin.
00:02:59.225 --> 00:03:00.560
It says, "who is by--who is the image of the invisible god,
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.663
The first born of every creature.
00:03:03.663 --> 00:03:05.465
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven,
00:03:05.465 --> 00:03:09.035
That are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be
00:03:09.035 --> 00:03:12.538
Thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all
00:03:12.538 --> 00:03:16.776
Things were created by him," and what?
00:03:16.776 --> 00:03:23.116
So all things were created, somebody say by him, and
00:03:23.116 --> 00:03:27.253
For him.
00:03:27.253 --> 00:03:29.222
"and he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
00:03:29.222 --> 00:03:34.327
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the
00:03:34.327 --> 00:03:40.833
Beginning, the first born from the dead; that in all things he
00:03:40.833 --> 00:03:45.772
Might have the preeminence."
00:03:45.772 --> 00:03:48.908
The amplified says in verse 18, "he is also the head of [his]
00:03:48.908 --> 00:03:53.413
Body," somebody say his body.
00:03:53.413 --> 00:03:56.015
Now when we look at this word head, we wanna look at what it
00:03:56.015 --> 00:03:58.785
Means here.
00:03:58.785 --> 00:04:00.153
Jesus being the head and by him all things are for him and all
00:04:00.153 --> 00:04:04.324
Things are created by him.
00:04:04.324 --> 00:04:06.959
And he is the head, see.
00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:08.594
The amplified says, "he is the beginning, the firstborn from
00:04:08.594 --> 00:04:12.432
Among the dead, that he alone in everything and in every respect
00:04:12.432 --> 00:04:18.204
Might occupy the chief place."
00:04:18.204 --> 00:04:21.240
And that's what god wants to do, is occupy the chief place,
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.811
Standing first, and be preeminent in our lives.
00:04:24.811 --> 00:04:29.816
So we wanna look at this area of this word head as it is
00:04:29.816 --> 00:04:33.353
Described here in the new testament.
00:04:33.353 --> 00:04:35.288
In fact, turn to chapter 2 verse 19, it says, "and not holding
00:04:35.288 --> 00:04:40.460
The head, from which all the body by joints and bands having
00:04:40.460 --> 00:04:47.433
Nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with
00:04:47.433 --> 00:04:53.873
The increase of god."
00:04:53.873 --> 00:04:57.410
The amplified says that through the head that it, "grows with
00:04:57.410 --> 00:05:01.581
A growth that is," what, "from god."
00:05:01.581 --> 00:05:06.853
So when we look at chapter 1 verse 16, we look at verse, the
00:05:06.853 --> 00:05:16.095
Same chapter--the next chapter, chapter 2, we understand some
00:05:16.095 --> 00:05:20.433
Things where the head is concerned.
00:05:20.433 --> 00:05:23.136
That he is the beginning and he wants to provide that
00:05:23.136 --> 00:05:29.142
Preeminence in our life, in every respect of our lives.
00:05:29.142 --> 00:05:33.513
So i wanna look at this word "kephale"from the
00:05:33.513 --> 00:05:36.249
Greek, k-e-p-h-a-l-e.
00:05:36.249 --> 00:05:38.084
K-e-p-h-a-l-e, i wanna look at how it's used in chapter 1, also
00:05:38.084 --> 00:05:43.523
In chapter 2--this is what the word head is used.
00:05:43.523 --> 00:05:47.794
In so many instances we use the word head meaning, the beginning
00:05:47.794 --> 00:05:53.499
Of a--over a company, or the head of a department, or the
00:05:53.499 --> 00:05:58.738
Head of the house, and so we wanna look at what the bible
00:05:58.738 --> 00:06:05.011
Says in the context of this word because i think so many times we
00:06:05.011 --> 00:06:10.483
Translate and we allow our western mindset or we allow our
00:06:10.483 --> 00:06:17.790
Slang or webster dictionary to define what these words mean,
00:06:17.790 --> 00:06:24.230
But we have to understand that the bible was written in a time
00:06:24.230 --> 00:06:29.302
Where there were horticultural principles, agricultural things,
00:06:29.302 --> 00:06:33.573
And they were, you know, some were greek, some were hebrew,
00:06:33.573 --> 00:06:38.478
And so we have to understand that context is king.
00:06:38.478 --> 00:06:42.648
So we can't take the word head here in the english and just
00:06:42.648 --> 00:06:47.253
Assume that it means the same thing back then as it does now.
00:06:47.253 --> 00:06:52.191
Because when we look at that word head it's talking about
00:06:52.191 --> 00:06:56.095
Jesus being the head of the church, him being the beginning
00:06:56.095 --> 00:07:00.199
Of everything, the first.
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.702
He, through his presence, his personhood, that we as the body
00:07:02.702 --> 00:07:07.340
Of christ are connected to him and it is out of him that we
00:07:07.340 --> 00:07:12.044
Grow and we become developed in the things of god as a body.
00:07:12.044 --> 00:07:17.850
Individually, every joint, every part, every organ, supplies that
00:07:17.850 --> 00:07:24.056
Which is necessary because it is connected to the head.
00:07:24.056 --> 00:07:30.196
And so this is foundational, this is pertinent for us to
00:07:30.196 --> 00:07:35.735
Understand this area.
00:07:35.735 --> 00:07:37.637
So he says, that it is through him, "not holding the head, from
00:07:37.637 --> 00:07:42.141
Which all the body by joints and bands having
00:07:42.141 --> 00:07:46.846
Nourishment ministered."
00:07:46.846 --> 00:07:48.981
So we as the body of christ, we receive nourishment.
00:07:48.981 --> 00:07:53.653
We are nourished.
00:07:53.653 --> 00:07:55.922
You know, you take your vitamins, your supplements,
00:07:55.922 --> 00:07:57.957
And things like that.
00:07:57.957 --> 00:07:59.325
Why, so it can nourish your body.
00:07:59.325 --> 00:08:00.726
But it is through the word, it is through jesus, that we
00:08:00.726 --> 00:08:03.429
Are nourished.
00:08:03.429 --> 00:08:05.231
That's why it's so important for us to take our time and be in
00:08:05.231 --> 00:08:07.867
Meetings and sessions and hear the word, 'cause it is through
00:08:07.867 --> 00:08:10.836
The word and our relationship with the word that we receive
00:08:10.836 --> 00:08:15.007
The nourishment that we need, and we're ministered to, and he
00:08:15.007 --> 00:08:20.179
Serves us the word, and he serves us through his life, and
00:08:20.179 --> 00:08:24.617
Through his example of being that extension of love and grace
00:08:24.617 --> 00:08:29.589
And power.
00:08:29.589 --> 00:08:30.923
And the scripture says that we are, "knit together."
00:08:30.923 --> 00:08:34.393
The body of christ, though it be broad, though it be global, but
00:08:34.393 --> 00:08:39.231
Yet there's a knittingness, there's a oneness that connects
00:08:39.231 --> 00:08:42.735
Us all together.
00:08:42.735 --> 00:08:44.770
And the scripture says as a result we, "increase with
00:08:44.770 --> 00:08:49.408
The increase of god."
00:08:49.408 --> 00:08:51.711
The amplified, it says it grows.
00:08:51.711 --> 00:08:54.246
How do you know god wants you to grow?
00:08:54.246 --> 00:08:57.049
That you, "grow with a growth that is from god."
00:08:57.049 --> 00:09:02.688
And so when we are in relationship with the word and
00:09:02.688 --> 00:09:06.125
We allow the word of god to have preeminence in our life, it'll
00:09:06.125 --> 00:09:09.428
Cause us to mature and to develop and to be all that god
00:09:09.428 --> 00:09:14.667
Has endeavored us to be because we're nourished by him and we're
00:09:14.667 --> 00:09:18.804
Healthy and we have that which brings forth growth and
00:09:18.804 --> 00:09:23.643
Development in our life.
00:09:23.643 --> 00:09:27.546
So when we look at this other area we can look at ephesians
00:09:27.546 --> 00:09:30.983
Chapter 4 as it relates to this word, help, because we're
00:09:30.983 --> 00:09:34.787
Looking at this morning, who's the boss?
00:09:34.787 --> 00:09:36.722
That's the million--that's the $1.5 million question.
00:09:36.722 --> 00:09:40.526
Taffi, who is the boss?
00:09:40.526 --> 00:09:44.430
And hopefully we'll provide enough evidence for you to be
00:09:44.430 --> 00:09:46.932
Able to answer that question today as we look at some of the
00:09:46.932 --> 00:09:51.804
Scriptures, and how it uses this word, 'cause frequently we use,
00:09:51.804 --> 00:09:56.542
Or we assume that the bible used to in-head--to imply boss or
00:09:56.542 --> 00:10:01.414
Chief, and so we miss, in many instances, the broader context
00:10:01.414 --> 00:10:06.052
Of the meaning because we apply it only in the english language.
00:10:06.052 --> 00:10:11.290
But the word head is a metaphor, it is a noun, and this is what
00:10:11.290 --> 00:10:15.995
We understand concerning how it's used in the greek.
00:10:15.995 --> 00:10:19.665
So, in ephesians chapter 4 verse 15
00:10:19.665 --> 00:10:25.638
It says, here it is again,
00:10:26.472 --> 00:10:30.643
"from whom" referring to jesus, "from whom the whole body--"
00:10:30.643 --> 00:10:38.417
Not just a portion of the body, not just, you know, a majority
00:10:38.417 --> 00:10:43.656
Of the white body or you know, the black body, the brown body.
00:10:43.656 --> 00:10:48.027
He says, from whom what, the whole.
00:10:48.027 --> 00:10:49.829
Somebody say whole, "from whom the whole body."
00:10:49.829 --> 00:10:55.000
It is the whole body that jesus died for and that he's after
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.238
Having a relationship.
00:10:59.238 --> 00:11:00.873
"from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted
00:11:00.873 --> 00:11:08.514
By that which every joint supplies," there it is again,
00:11:08.514 --> 00:11:13.285
"according to the effectual working in the measure of every
00:11:13.285 --> 00:11:17.456
Part, making itself of the body unto the edifying of itself
00:11:17.456 --> 00:11:24.497
In love."
00:11:24.497 --> 00:11:26.165
Now when we look at this in the amplified, let's look at
00:11:26.165 --> 00:11:28.467
This again.
00:11:28.467 --> 00:11:29.802
"for because of him," referring to jesus, the person of grace,
00:11:29.802 --> 00:11:35.207
Grace and truth, "because of him the whole body (the church and
00:11:35.207 --> 00:11:39.178
All of his various parts), closely joined firmly knit
00:11:39.178 --> 00:11:43.282
Together by all the joints and ligaments which with it is
00:11:43.282 --> 00:11:47.453
Supplied, when each part [with power,]"
00:11:47.453 --> 00:11:50.956
The amplified says, "[adapted to its need.]"
00:11:50.956 --> 00:11:55.394
So every part is supposed to get the sufficiency, is supposed to
00:11:55.394 --> 00:11:59.165
Have the power that meets its need, and is able to equip it to
00:11:59.165 --> 00:12:03.936
Function in the way that it is designed to function.
00:12:03.936 --> 00:12:07.807
So it says, "when each part [with the power adapted to
00:12:07.807 --> 00:12:10.576
Its need] is working properly [in all its functions]."
00:12:10.576 --> 00:12:18.517
Working properly in all of its functions, so your part in
00:12:18.517 --> 00:12:22.788
The body of christ is designed by god to function.
00:12:22.788 --> 00:12:28.027
It's not to be in dysfunction or to malfunction, to be inactive,
00:12:28.027 --> 00:12:33.899
But whatever it is that god has placed on your life and where
00:12:33.899 --> 00:12:37.469
He's plugged you into the body of christ, he says that it
00:12:37.469 --> 00:12:40.673
May function.
00:12:40.673 --> 00:12:42.408
And the scripture says that it, "grows to full maturity,
00:12:42.408 --> 00:12:48.447
Building itself up in love."
00:12:48.447 --> 00:12:54.353
There is this thing that god wants to do where the body
00:12:54.353 --> 00:12:59.458
Begins to operate, in the fullness of what it was
00:12:59.458 --> 00:13:02.995
Designed, that it becomes mature, and things will just
00:13:02.995 --> 00:13:06.532
Began to take place overnight.
00:13:06.532 --> 00:13:08.300
I'm believing that--you know, i was talking a few days ago how
00:13:08.300 --> 00:13:12.571
God is the god of the surprise.
00:13:12.571 --> 00:13:14.540
He just wants you to know that he's still god and he has some
00:13:14.540 --> 00:13:17.509
Things that only he can do in your life.
00:13:17.509 --> 00:13:21.247
He wants to astonish you in such a way and just let you know,
00:13:21.247 --> 00:13:24.817
I still am in the position to do what i promised in my word.
00:13:24.817 --> 00:13:30.589
And so he says he builds himself up, that it grows to feel full
00:13:30.589 --> 00:13:35.494
Maturity, not just mature to a certain point and stop,
00:13:35.494 --> 00:13:40.332
But i'm telling you where it's functioning 100%.
00:13:40.332 --> 00:13:43.836
I mean, you don't want your body, certain parts of your
00:13:43.836 --> 00:13:46.305
Organs to be working and then other ones not working and you
00:13:46.305 --> 00:13:49.875
Gotta take this out and oh lord, they gonna--they say i need to
00:13:49.875 --> 00:13:53.479
Remove this and oh father.
00:13:53.479 --> 00:13:55.314
No, you want 100%.
00:13:55.314 --> 00:14:01.754
100%, so that, as a result, it can be fully functioning, it can
00:14:01.754 --> 00:14:09.228
Be at the place where it does what it was designed to do.
00:14:09.228 --> 00:14:13.666
Now granted, you know, you may have to remove a spleen or a
00:14:13.666 --> 00:14:17.603
Gallbladder or have a kidney or whatever the case may be, but
00:14:17.603 --> 00:14:21.440
How many of you know, we know when those things are removed
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:23.676
From our bodies and so those things are there for a reason.
00:14:23.676 --> 00:14:28.080
And so when things begin to malfunction, in many instances
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.849
You know what's going on.
00:14:30.849 --> 00:14:32.818
And your body even will begin to give you a signal that
00:14:32.818 --> 00:14:35.521
Something's not working like it it's supposed to work.
00:14:35.521 --> 00:14:40.025
So he's after, and he describes here, the full maturity of
00:14:40.025 --> 00:14:45.364
The body, that it grows and it develops into a place.
00:14:45.364 --> 00:14:51.403
And so when we look at this word kephale here, that word in
00:14:51.403 --> 00:14:55.407
The greek means source.
00:14:55.407 --> 00:14:57.743
Kephale means, a source that produces growth.
00:14:57.743 --> 00:15:01.580
Every part of the body is connected to the head and if
00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:06.185
The connecting is severed, even a perfect healthy member
00:15:06.185 --> 00:15:11.323
Will wither.
00:15:11.323 --> 00:15:12.858
Every part is connected to every other part.
00:15:12.858 --> 00:15:19.398
That's why it's so beautiful about the body of christ, that
00:15:19.398 --> 00:15:22.601
We can become that diverse, interconnected reflection of
00:15:22.601 --> 00:15:28.974
What god wants to do, and when people look at the body, they
00:15:28.974 --> 00:15:32.678
Can begin to see the demonstration of who and why
00:15:32.678 --> 00:15:37.583
Jesus died.
00:15:37.583 --> 00:15:38.951
So it is every part that is interconnected to every
00:15:38.951 --> 00:15:42.054
Other part.
00:15:42.054 --> 00:15:43.489
The husband to the wife, the wife to the husband.
00:15:43.489 --> 00:15:46.759
The different parts, the prophet to the pastor, the teacher to
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.529
The evangelist, and each has a different function that causes
00:15:50.529 --> 00:15:54.299
It to depend on every other member.
00:15:54.299 --> 00:15:59.538
So that person, that part, depends on the other part.
00:15:59.538 --> 00:16:04.843
You know, the kidney depends on the heart, and the liver depends
00:16:04.843 --> 00:16:08.414
On the heart, and so all these things, they have to connect,
00:16:08.414 --> 00:16:12.117
One with another, and as a result they function and they
00:16:12.117 --> 00:16:15.788
Provide the health that is necessary as one unit.
00:16:15.788 --> 00:16:21.360
And so when we look at this word again, kephale, it means
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.363
The source of life that is springing from the head.
00:16:24.363 --> 00:16:28.534
It's a source of life that springs from the head and it's
00:16:28.534 --> 00:16:31.670
From the head, the entire body grows with the growth as it is
00:16:31.670 --> 00:16:36.708
Supplied by the head and held together by every ligament
00:16:36.708 --> 00:16:42.347
And sinew.
00:16:42.347 --> 00:16:44.416
Somebody say source.
00:16:44.416 --> 00:16:47.219
So the head is the source, the source of life.
00:16:47.219 --> 00:16:51.123
He is out of the head, things began to develop.
00:16:51.123 --> 00:16:56.628
Just like out of the heart, that it pumps and it provides
00:16:56.628 --> 00:16:59.731
The blood and the life and it goes into the arteries and it
00:16:59.731 --> 00:17:02.968
Circulates and so forth and so on.
00:17:02.968 --> 00:17:05.003
So the scripture says that jesus is the head.
00:17:05.003 --> 00:17:09.408
Now when we look at this word, let's look a little further at
00:17:09.408 --> 00:17:12.845
Another illustration here over in 1 corinthians chapter 11.
00:17:12.845 --> 00:17:18.183
Because in webster's dictionary that word head is defined as,
00:17:18.183 --> 00:17:23.188
Authority, command.
00:17:23.188 --> 00:17:26.458
And so that's why it's so important for us to understand
00:17:26.458 --> 00:17:29.361
The biblical meanings, the biblical definitions, of what
00:17:29.361 --> 00:17:33.899
The words are and not to lean on contemporary english
00:17:33.899 --> 00:17:40.139
Translations or connotations of how we use the word.
00:17:40.139 --> 00:17:45.511
And so in 1 corinthians chapter 11, we want to look at
00:17:45.511 --> 00:17:52.684
Verse--let's look at verse 3--1 corinthians chapter 11 verse 3
00:17:52.684 --> 00:18:01.660
Says, "but i would have you know--i would have you to know
00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:06.698
That the," what, "that the head of every man is christ; and the
00:18:06.698 --> 00:18:13.605
Head of the woman is the man; and the head of christ," what,
00:18:13.605 --> 00:18:20.812
"is god."
00:18:20.812 --> 00:18:22.581
The amplified says, "i want you to know and realize that christ
00:18:22.581 --> 00:18:25.484
Is the head of every man, the head of a woman is her husband,
00:18:25.484 --> 00:18:29.955
And the head of christ is god."
00:18:29.955 --> 00:18:34.860
And so this word here, is also meaning that the definition of
00:18:34.860 --> 00:18:43.602
This word head is source.
00:18:43.602 --> 00:18:46.171
It's talking about how man came out of christ.
00:18:46.171 --> 00:18:52.110
And how eve came out of adam.
00:18:52.110 --> 00:18:56.915
And how christ came and manifested himself through god.
00:18:56.915 --> 00:19:02.821
It was jesus who the scripture says, manifested himself over
00:19:02.821 --> 00:19:08.093
2,000 years ago in the form of god.
00:19:08.093 --> 00:19:12.164
He functioned as a man, but yet he was anointed and he was
00:19:12.164 --> 00:19:16.301
Equipped by god.
00:19:16.301 --> 00:19:18.070
So this isn't talking about, you know, the head of every man
00:19:18.070 --> 00:19:22.274
Is--head of every woman is the man and so that means that, you
00:19:22.274 --> 00:19:26.578
Know, the man is to command 'cause otherwise, you know, it
00:19:26.578 --> 00:19:31.316
Would just not be in the way of how it's described here.
00:19:31.316 --> 00:19:35.153
He says, "i would have you know, that the head of the--every man
00:19:35.153 --> 00:19:39.124
Is christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head
00:19:39.124 --> 00:19:43.295
Of christ is god."
00:19:43.295 --> 00:19:45.063
It is how something derived, somebody say derived.
00:19:45.063 --> 00:19:49.835
How it came into being.
00:19:49.835 --> 00:19:53.538
From how it was manifested, is the source, is the basis.
00:19:53.538 --> 00:19:59.711
That the woman was coming from the man and came out of the man
00:19:59.711 --> 00:20:05.284
And how christ came out of god and the man came out of god,
00:20:05.284 --> 00:20:10.422
So it's important for us to recognize what the scripture is
00:20:10.422 --> 00:20:14.826
Saying here and understand that it's not about authority, that
00:20:14.826 --> 00:20:19.331
Word here in the greek does not reference the authority per se,
00:20:19.331 --> 00:20:24.503
As much as it does being the source and how
00:20:24.503 --> 00:20:28.273
Something derives.
00:20:28.273 --> 00:20:29.675
So the source of man is the creator, and thus we say that
00:20:29.675 --> 00:20:34.146
The head of every man is christ because he was made through him
00:20:34.146 --> 00:20:37.449
And brought forth to birth.
00:20:37.449 --> 00:20:39.751
The head of the woman is a man because she came out of adam.
00:20:39.751 --> 00:20:42.921
She was taking where, from his side.
00:20:42.921 --> 00:20:47.426
You're not his rib, you know.
00:20:47.426 --> 00:20:49.127
No, that means side.
00:20:49.127 --> 00:20:51.863
Yeah, you know, you my rib, you know, you my rib.
00:20:51.863 --> 00:20:54.766
No, side by side, that's 'cause i'm supposed to be by your side.
00:20:54.766 --> 00:20:59.738
I'm not supposed to be behind you, i'm not supposed to be
00:20:59.738 --> 00:21:03.075
In front of you, but rib means side.
00:21:03.075 --> 00:21:10.949
So she was taking from the man, from his flesh, and has him
00:21:10.949 --> 00:21:15.721
As her source.
00:21:15.721 --> 00:21:17.155
The head of christ is god because he is from him.
00:21:17.155 --> 00:21:21.526
The man is the head of the woman since she has taken her being
00:21:21.526 --> 00:21:25.664
From the man and christ is ahead of us who believe because we are
00:21:25.664 --> 00:21:30.135
What, made from him.
00:21:30.135 --> 00:21:34.873
And the church said amen.
00:21:34.873 --> 00:21:40.011
It's getting tight up in here, but it's all good.
00:21:40.011 --> 00:21:45.617
God's not trying to take anything from us.
00:21:45.617 --> 00:21:50.088
But god wants to position us in a way so we can fulfill our
00:21:50.088 --> 00:21:54.126
Highest potential.
00:21:54.126 --> 00:21:57.295
He's not trying to set you up with--'cause you, you know,
00:21:57.295 --> 00:22:01.333
Don't have enough intelligence to be able to recognize the holy
00:22:01.333 --> 00:22:05.337
Spirit, but i believe part of why god created man and created
00:22:05.337 --> 00:22:10.175
Woman because he gave them both the articulate speech where they
00:22:10.175 --> 00:22:13.812
Could commune with one another and they communicate with god.
00:22:13.812 --> 00:22:18.683
Face to face.
00:22:18.683 --> 00:22:21.453
The scripture says when he talks about how i would make the woman
00:22:21.453 --> 00:22:25.724
Help, does not mean some slaves, some kind of doormat, you know.
00:22:25.724 --> 00:22:30.862
Women in the old testament, of course they didn't have
00:22:30.862 --> 00:22:33.565
Any rights, they were property and were treated like minors,
00:22:33.565 --> 00:22:37.469
But under this new covenant, glory be to god, it's
00:22:37.469 --> 00:22:41.840
A better covenant.
00:22:41.840 --> 00:22:45.811
He talks about what's being help, which is "mecanego,"
00:22:45.811 --> 00:22:49.381
That is face to face.
00:22:49.381 --> 00:22:52.050
And he says that he would make woman, and woman would be that
00:22:52.050 --> 00:22:57.289
Strong rescue.
00:22:57.289 --> 00:23:00.091
And she would be a strength.
00:23:00.091 --> 00:23:02.861
And so it took the woman being in a position where she could be
00:23:02.861 --> 00:23:09.100
In a position, she would be face to face with the man.
00:23:09.100 --> 00:23:14.039
And in some instances it talks about opposing and corresponding
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:18.610
To him, think of that.
00:23:18.610 --> 00:23:23.215
And so we as women in the body of christ, we must begin to
00:23:23.215 --> 00:23:28.286
Think in-line for how god sees us and not allow the world
00:23:28.286 --> 00:23:34.593
To dictate.
00:23:34.593 --> 00:23:37.262
Not allow the world and society to dominate our thinking
00:23:37.262 --> 00:23:41.700
And to cause us to think less than
00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:44.135
What god's word has said concerning us.
00:23:44.135 --> 00:23:48.306
Male announcer: who submits on your job?
00:23:52.210 --> 00:23:53.745
Who submits at your church?
00:23:53.745 --> 00:23:55.614
Who submits in your relationship?
00:23:55.614 --> 00:23:57.616
This question often burns in the minds of people

Taffi: first to not be in bondage to what you think about
00:24:59.778 --> 00:25:02.614
Me because what you think about me ain't gonna stop nothing.
00:25:02.614 --> 00:25:06.418
Announcer: this is your moment to embrace your authentic self
00:25:06.418 --> 00:25:09.154
In a world of false standards.
00:25:09.154 --> 00:25:10.989
Join us at the real women's conference where your journey to
00:25:10.989 --> 00:25:14.326
Self-discovery begins.
00:25:14.326 --> 00:25:16.361
Get ready to live in your truth, unapologetically.
00:25:16.361 --> 00:25:19.464
Taffi: jesus instructed us to take this gospel
00:25:22.467 --> 00:25:24.903
To the uttermost parts of the earth.
00:25:24.903 --> 00:25:27.339
With the seeds you sow into creflo dollar ministries,
00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:30.175
We extend this good news of grace to people
00:25:30.175 --> 00:25:32.877
On every single continent.
00:25:32.877 --> 00:25:34.846
They are empowered to see real change in their lives.
00:25:34.846 --> 00:25:38.116
That's exactly what you do when you send in
00:25:38.116 --> 00:25:40.986

00:25:40.986 --> 00:25:44.456

00:25:50.695 --> 00:25:54.332
Male announcer: if god has placed it on your heart
00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:57.469

God bless you.
00:26:07.112 --> 00:26:09.147
Taffi: listen to me closely right now.
00:26:10.815 --> 00:26:13.251
God is not mad at you.
00:26:13.251 --> 00:26:15.987
He is not tallying up your sins, holding your sins against you.
00:26:15.987 --> 00:26:20.191
Jesus paid the price, he paid the debt,
00:26:20.191 --> 00:26:23.662
And he has made available to you grace and salvation through the
00:26:23.662 --> 00:26:27.932
Precious blood that was shed on the cross.
00:26:27.932 --> 00:26:30.669
That's how much god wants to have a personal,
00:26:30.669 --> 00:26:33.304
Intimate relationship with you.
00:26:33.304 --> 00:26:36.007
He wants you to be set free from anything that has you bound,
00:26:36.007 --> 00:26:39.477
And that, eternally, you can be with him.
00:26:39.477 --> 00:26:42.514
So if you've not received jesus as your lord and as your
00:26:42.514 --> 00:26:44.949
Personal savior and you'd like to have a relationship with him,
00:26:44.949 --> 00:26:48.687
Repeat this prayer after me right now.
00:26:48.687 --> 00:26:51.289
Heavenly father, come into my life, save me.
00:26:51.289 --> 00:26:55.260
I believe jesus died and shed his blood for my sin.
00:26:55.260 --> 00:26:59.497
Come into my heart right now.
00:26:59.497 --> 00:27:01.533
I believe i receive salvation and i'm seated at the right hand
00:27:01.533 --> 00:27:05.970
Of god the father.
00:27:05.970 --> 00:27:07.372
In jesus's name, amen.
00:27:07.372 --> 00:27:10.008
All right, just that simple.
00:27:10.008 --> 00:27:12.343
God bless you.
00:27:12.343 --> 00:27:13.945
