- Eve were in the garden of eden when they stood before god

- Without any guilt and without any shame, knowing who they were
- 00:00:19.299 --> 00:00:23.803
- As the righteousness of god, knowing they were the beloved,
- 00:00:23.803 --> 00:00:27.140
- Knowing they were the affirm, the welcome, the pleasing
- 00:00:27.140 --> 00:00:30.577

- Taffi: now, in 2 corinthians chapter 3 verse 18, verse 17
- 00:01:58.231 --> 00:02:01.868
- Says, "now the lord is that spirit and where the spirit of
- 00:02:01.868 --> 00:02:07.574
- The lord is there is," what?
- 00:02:07.574 --> 00:02:10.176
- Bondage, confusion, chaos, animosity, strife, greed,
- 00:02:10.176 --> 00:02:20.153
- Covetousness, lying, cheating.
- 00:02:20.153 --> 00:02:23.223
- He says now the lord is that spirit.
- 00:02:23.223 --> 00:02:26.226
- He's talking about the holy spirit.
- 00:02:26.226 --> 00:02:29.229
- The holy spirit will confirm what the lord is the lordship
- 00:02:29.229 --> 00:02:33.967
- Over our life and it won't contradict one with the other.
- 00:02:33.967 --> 00:02:37.604
- They are god the father, three in one, the triune of god.
- 00:02:37.604 --> 00:02:42.075
- The lord will confirm his word through the holy spirit.
- 00:02:42.075 --> 00:02:46.246
- "now the lord is that spirit," he is that spirit, "and where
- 00:02:46.246 --> 00:02:51.584
- The spirit of the lord is, there is (emancipation from bondage)."
- 00:02:51.584 --> 00:02:56.422
- The amplified says.
- 00:02:56.422 --> 00:02:58.658
- Maybe there's some bondages in your life that you just like
- 00:02:58.658 --> 00:03:01.494
- Lord, when am i gonna be free from this?
- 00:03:01.494 --> 00:03:04.998
- He says, "where the spirit of the lord is, there is
- 00:03:04.998 --> 00:03:08.468
- (emancipation from bondage)."
- 00:03:08.468 --> 00:03:12.205
- That's what jesus came to do, not to free us from captivity so
- 00:03:12.205 --> 00:03:17.977
- That we can get back in captivity again.
- 00:03:17.977 --> 00:03:20.146
- What kind of sense does that make?
- 00:03:20.146 --> 00:03:22.382
- That's why i wrestle with folks who don't understand the
- 00:03:22.382 --> 00:03:26.219
- Importance of us all walking in the equality that jesus came for
- 00:03:26.219 --> 00:03:30.156
- Us to experience.
- 00:03:30.156 --> 00:03:31.591
- Not so that we would live in equality and go back to equality
- 00:03:31.591 --> 00:03:34.927
- Again after jesus came, but that we can all be one in
- 00:03:34.927 --> 00:03:38.598
- Christ jesus.
- 00:03:38.598 --> 00:03:40.166
- So there's this emancipation that comes as a result of the
- 00:03:40.166 --> 00:03:45.538
- Spirit of the lord and there is freedom.
- 00:03:45.538 --> 00:03:49.776
- And in verse 18, "all of us, as with unveiled face," he says,
- 00:03:49.776 --> 00:03:59.118
- All of us.
- 00:03:59.118 --> 00:04:00.553
- Not just some to experience liberty, not some to
- 00:04:00.553 --> 00:04:04.957
- Experience freedom.
- 00:04:04.957 --> 00:04:06.292
- He says, "and all of us, as with an unveiled face."
- 00:04:06.292 --> 00:04:11.497
- Because before jesus came, there was a separation because
- 00:04:11.497 --> 00:04:15.001
- Of the veil.
- 00:04:15.001 --> 00:04:16.336
- The veil kept some out and kept some in.
- 00:04:16.336 --> 00:04:19.339
- And now the veil, the scripture says was torn from top to
- 00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:23.343
- Bottom, the veil was torn in two.
- 00:04:23.343 --> 00:04:27.246
- He says, with an unveiled face, we can behold the glory of god.
- 00:04:27.246 --> 00:04:31.150
- We can see god face to face.
- 00:04:31.150 --> 00:04:34.654
- Now we can go direct to god.
- 00:04:34.654 --> 00:04:37.323
- We can have direct access to him.
- 00:04:37.323 --> 00:04:39.225
- We have equal ground that we can stand on, that we can go boldly,
- 00:04:39.225 --> 00:04:43.129
- We can pursue god, we can rush god, we can go towards his
- 00:04:43.129 --> 00:04:47.200
- Presence, we can receive his grace, we can see his mercy.
- 00:04:47.200 --> 00:04:51.471
- So he says, with an unveiled face.
- 00:04:51.471 --> 00:04:54.774
- We don't have to go through the priest and we don't have to go
- 00:04:54.774 --> 00:04:57.677
- Through moses and do all these other things, but i'm telling
- 00:04:57.677 --> 00:05:00.980
- You with an unveiled face, we are the apple of his eye and he
- 00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:06.786
- Beholds us face to face.
- 00:05:06.786 --> 00:05:10.356
- So he says, with an unveiled face "[because we]
- 00:05:10.356 --> 00:05:13.159
- Continued to behold [in the word of god]
- 00:05:13.159 --> 00:05:17.897
- As in a mirror the glory of the lord."
- 00:05:17.897 --> 00:05:22.935
- And so the word of god is a mirror.
- 00:05:22.935 --> 00:05:26.272
- And how many of you know you gotta look in the mirror on
- 00:05:26.272 --> 00:05:29.041
- A continuous basis, amen.
- 00:05:29.041 --> 00:05:34.480
- Likes, amen.
- 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.949
- Wallpaper, amen.
- 00:05:36.949 --> 00:05:38.518
- Carpet.
- 00:05:38.518 --> 00:05:39.886
- He says, you must continue to behold in the word of god as in
- 00:05:39.886 --> 00:05:47.627
- A mirror, continue, continue.
- 00:05:47.627 --> 00:05:56.035
- Some of us would not be very presentable if we didn't look in
- 00:05:56.035 --> 00:05:59.238
- The mirror on a continuous basis.
- 00:05:59.238 --> 00:06:01.340
- I'm just gonna leave it there.
- 00:06:01.340 --> 00:06:02.675
- I'm gonna be nice tonight.
- 00:06:02.675 --> 00:06:04.043
- Not going.
- 00:06:04.043 --> 00:06:05.378
- I, if i didn't look in the mirror, no telling what i would
- 00:06:05.378 --> 00:06:09.482
- Look like.
- 00:06:09.482 --> 00:06:11.217
- And just as if i don't look into the word of god, no telling what
- 00:06:11.217 --> 00:06:15.655
- Type of reflection.
- 00:06:15.655 --> 00:06:17.056
- I'd be reflecting all kind of stuff, reflecting the flesh and
- 00:06:17.056 --> 00:06:21.260
- Going off and unfruitful and in the flesh.
- 00:06:21.260 --> 00:06:27.934
- But he says, continue as in the mirror, the glory of the lord,
- 00:06:27.934 --> 00:06:37.877
- Continue to behold, to behold that, to keep it before you.
- 00:06:37.877 --> 00:06:42.682
- To keep it before your eyes, your ears, your heart and that
- 00:06:42.682 --> 00:06:46.786
- You don't put it down.
- 00:06:46.786 --> 00:06:48.154
- Well, you know, i've been walking with the lord for 45
- 00:06:48.154 --> 00:06:50.590
- Years and i have come a mighty long way.
- 00:06:50.590 --> 00:06:53.993
- Well, you know what?
- 00:06:53.993 --> 00:06:55.328
- We got a mighty long way to go.
- 00:06:55.328 --> 00:06:57.129
- And obviously, if he still has us here, he has a purpose in
- 00:06:57.129 --> 00:06:59.932
- Mind for us to do something.
- 00:06:59.932 --> 00:07:02.101
- So continue to behold, continue to behold as a mirror, looking
- 00:07:02.101 --> 00:07:10.676
- Into it, seeing what you look like, judging yourself based on
- 00:07:10.676 --> 00:07:16.916
- What the word of god says.
- 00:07:16.916 --> 00:07:19.619
- See what reflection.
- 00:07:19.619 --> 00:07:21.854
- Are you reflecting jesus's image in the earth?
- 00:07:21.854 --> 00:07:25.992
- How he wants us to carry ourselves.
- 00:07:25.992 --> 00:07:28.261
- How he wants us to walk in grace.
- 00:07:28.261 --> 00:07:31.030
- How he wants us to be people of love and people of patience and
- 00:07:31.030 --> 00:07:36.969
- The fruit of the spirit.
- 00:07:36.969 --> 00:07:38.638
- So he says, "we continue to behold the glory, the word of
- 00:07:38.638 --> 00:07:44.644
- God as in a mirror, the glory of the lord are constantly,"
- 00:07:44.644 --> 00:07:48.981
- Constantly, as long as you behold as a mirror, you will
- 00:07:48.981 --> 00:07:54.954
- Constantly be changed.
- 00:07:54.954 --> 00:07:57.089
- Now, once you put the word of god, you have no right, no
- 00:07:57.089 --> 00:08:00.493
- Audacity to expect for god to change you.
- 00:08:00.493 --> 00:08:05.398
- Because once we begin to rely on our own efforts or think that
- 00:08:05.398 --> 00:08:09.402
- The word of god doesn't work, we cancel, we nullify the power of
- 00:08:09.402 --> 00:08:14.140
- God to be able to provide the transformation in our life.
- 00:08:14.140 --> 00:08:18.311
- So he says, "constantly being transfigured into the very own
- 00:08:18.311 --> 00:08:25.017
- Image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of
- 00:08:25.017 --> 00:08:33.926
- Glory to another; [for this comes]
- 00:08:33.926 --> 00:08:37.964
- As the scripture says from the lord who is the spirit."
- 00:08:37.964 --> 00:08:44.203
- And so there's this open face.
- 00:08:44.203 --> 00:08:47.039
- Someone say, "i can change."
- 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:52.411
- You can change as you continue and constantly allow the word of
- 00:08:52.411 --> 00:09:01.053
- God to be held in your life.
- 00:09:01.053 --> 00:09:06.425
- So change takes place in the life of a believer by grace
- 00:09:06.425 --> 00:09:14.300
- Through faith.
- 00:09:14.300 --> 00:09:16.369
- Someone say, "by grace through faith."
- 00:09:16.369 --> 00:09:22.942
- But how many of you know you can't change if you're always
- 00:09:22.942 --> 00:09:25.277
- Trying to compare yourself with somebody else?
- 00:09:25.277 --> 00:09:27.913
- You don't think you're good enough and you're trying to be
- 00:09:27.913 --> 00:09:30.316
- Like them because, you know, it seem like they got it going on
- 00:09:30.316 --> 00:09:33.285
- And so you think that you wanna be like them because that's what
- 00:09:33.285 --> 00:09:38.090
- The world says you're supposed to look like and what you're
- 00:09:38.090 --> 00:09:40.860
- Supposed to be as a christian.
- 00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:42.228
- Look at 2 corinthians chapter 10 verse 12.
- 00:09:42.228 --> 00:09:45.297
- You can't behold what god wants to do in your life if you're
- 00:09:45.297 --> 00:09:49.235
- Continuously looking at other people instead of looking at the
- 00:09:49.235 --> 00:09:52.371
- Word of god because we fail to understand what it is that god
- 00:09:52.371 --> 00:09:58.678
- Wants to do in our life.
- 00:09:58.678 --> 00:10:00.846
- And we're belittling what god has assigned for us because we
- 00:10:00.846 --> 00:10:04.750
- Think that what they're doing is what we're supposed to be doing.
- 00:10:04.750 --> 00:10:08.921
- So he says here in 2 corinthians chapter 10 verse 12, he says,
- 00:10:08.921 --> 00:10:16.595
- "for we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare
- 00:10:16.595 --> 00:10:22.535
- Ourselves with some that commend themselves; but they measuring
- 00:10:22.535 --> 00:10:29.709
- Themselves by themselves."
- 00:10:29.709 --> 00:10:32.511
- There's a lot of themselves.
- 00:10:32.511 --> 00:10:33.879
- "and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."
- 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:39.452
- How many of you know you gotta get outside of themselves, amen.
- 00:10:39.452 --> 00:10:43.422
- And know what it is that god is calling you to do.
- 00:10:43.422 --> 00:10:48.694
- Your individual assignment for your life, how he's wanting to
- 00:10:48.694 --> 00:10:55.701
- Work his word through your life, how he wants to manifest himself
- 00:10:55.701 --> 00:11:01.006
- Through you.
- 00:11:01.006 --> 00:11:02.975
- The amplified says, "not that we [have the audacity]," we have
- 00:11:02.975 --> 00:11:08.714
- The audacity and that's what the world system does.
- 00:11:08.714 --> 00:11:11.617
- It makes us think that that's perfection, that's success,
- 00:11:11.617 --> 00:11:17.690
- That's accomplishments.
- 00:11:17.690 --> 00:11:19.825
- And he says, "not that we [have the audacity to]
- 00:11:19.825 --> 00:11:24.463
- Venture to class or [even to]
- 00:11:24.463 --> 00:11:26.999
- Compare ourselves with some who exalt and furnish testimonials
- 00:11:26.999 --> 00:11:32.705
- For themselves!"
- 00:11:32.705 --> 00:11:34.673
- He says, "however, when they measure themselves with
- 00:11:34.673 --> 00:11:38.277
- Themselves and compare themselves with one another,"
- 00:11:38.277 --> 00:11:41.814
- I can't compare myself with anybody here because
- 00:11:41.814 --> 00:11:46.452
- I'm different.
- 00:11:46.452 --> 00:11:48.888
- So for me to compare myself and my assignment with what you're
- 00:11:48.888 --> 00:11:53.692
- Doing is to discredit what god wants to do in both of
- 00:11:53.692 --> 00:11:57.062
- Our lives.
- 00:11:57.062 --> 00:11:59.198
- And so when we can understand that we all have a unique
- 00:11:59.198 --> 00:12:02.334
- Calling, we have a unique assignment, there's a grace over
- 00:12:02.334 --> 00:12:05.571
- Our life, there's an ability that god wants us to do and then
- 00:12:05.571 --> 00:12:09.742
- We can celebrate each other's uniqueness and each
- 00:12:09.742 --> 00:12:13.312
- Other's differences.
- 00:12:13.312 --> 00:12:15.214
- And we don't have to compete, we don't have to strive.
- 00:12:15.214 --> 00:12:18.851
- You know, equality is not about women competing with men.
- 00:12:18.851 --> 00:12:21.787
- Nobody's trying to compete with men.
- 00:12:21.787 --> 00:12:23.889
- We're not trying to, you know, take authority and usurp all
- 00:12:23.889 --> 00:12:28.160
- This kind of stuff, but we're understanding that in christ we
- 00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:31.864
- Are one, amen.
- 00:12:31.864 --> 00:12:35.668
- And so he says, don't compare yourself amongst yourself and
- 00:12:35.668 --> 00:12:39.104
- With yourselves.
- 00:12:39.104 --> 00:12:41.240
- He says they are as a result "without understanding and
- 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.878
- Behave unwisely."
- 00:12:45.878 --> 00:12:49.715
- So remember, we're not to compare ourselves with one
- 00:12:49.715 --> 00:12:52.017
- Another or compete with one another.
- 00:12:52.017 --> 00:12:54.920
- We are all made in the image and in the likeness of god to
- 00:12:54.920 --> 00:12:58.824
- Reflect his glory to the world.
- 00:12:58.824 --> 00:13:02.428
- We all are made, black, white, jew, greek, bond, free, whatever
- 00:13:02.428 --> 00:13:08.968
- Class, middle, high, low, we are all made in the likeness, in the
- 00:13:08.968 --> 00:13:14.840
- Image of god and we don't have to compare ourselves.
- 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:17.710
- God loves us all the same.
- 00:13:17.710 --> 00:13:19.745
- He affirms us all the same.
- 00:13:19.745 --> 00:13:21.447
- We're the beloved, we're the cherished of him and he believes
- 00:13:21.447 --> 00:13:25.718
- In us.
- 00:13:25.718 --> 00:13:27.052
- And so he says, when we compare him, we get into a place of
- 00:13:27.052 --> 00:13:29.989
- Competition and we are without understanding and we don't begin
- 00:13:29.989 --> 00:13:35.294
- To see the fullness of the body.
- 00:13:35.294 --> 00:13:38.530
- And that's what in essence has happened when we stifle off or
- 00:13:38.530 --> 00:13:43.235
- We limit the potential maybe of the gender of women or we limit
- 00:13:43.235 --> 00:13:49.575
- The potential of the african american man or whatever the
- 00:13:49.575 --> 00:13:54.446
- Case may be, we limit that potential from becoming at its
- 00:13:54.446 --> 00:13:58.150
- Fullest in society and society will never get to the highest
- 00:13:58.150 --> 00:14:02.054
- Point because we're at a place of disadvantage.
- 00:14:02.054 --> 00:14:05.958
- And so he says, we are without understanding and as a result,
- 00:14:05.958 --> 00:14:10.429
- We behave unwisely.
- 00:14:10.429 --> 00:14:15.601
- But we are all reflectors, the true image of god and we are to
- 00:14:15.601 --> 00:14:20.839
- Reflect his glory, going from one glory to another level
- 00:14:20.839 --> 00:14:25.344
- Of glory.
- 00:14:25.344 --> 00:14:26.712
- Look at colossians 3 verse 10.
- 00:14:26.712 --> 00:14:28.781
- Colossians 3 verse 10.
- 00:14:28.781 --> 00:14:37.623
- Everybody's path is different.
- 00:14:37.623 --> 00:14:41.360
- Of course, the destination may be the same, but what god wants
- 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.965
- To do through you may be different from what he wants to
- 00:14:45.965 --> 00:14:48.667
- Do through me.
- 00:14:48.667 --> 00:14:50.002
- That's why we can't copy other people's lives and duplicate
- 00:14:50.002 --> 00:14:53.205
- What they're doing.
- 00:14:53.205 --> 00:14:54.540
- We have to know what god is speaking to us by spending time
- 00:14:54.540 --> 00:14:58.210
- With him and allowing his spirit to lead us and direct us on
- 00:14:58.210 --> 00:15:01.981
- A day to day basis.
- 00:15:01.981 --> 00:15:04.416
- Now, verse 7 says, "in the which ye also walk some time, when ye
- 00:15:04.416 --> 00:15:09.822
- Lived in them, but now," he's talking about when we were
- 00:15:09.822 --> 00:15:15.794
- Outside of the things of god.
- 00:15:15.794 --> 00:15:18.764
- He says, "among you whom you also walked, when you were
- 00:15:18.764 --> 00:15:22.101
- Living in and you were addicted to [such practices]."
- 00:15:22.101 --> 00:15:26.705
- Those practices were described here in verse 5--when we were
- 00:15:26.705 --> 00:15:32.711
- Addicted to "fornication and uncleanness, inordinate
- 00:15:32.711 --> 00:15:37.683
- Affections, evil concupiscence, covetousness, idolatry."
- 00:15:37.683 --> 00:15:44.123
- And then he says, "in the which ye also walked some time, when
- 00:15:44.123 --> 00:15:49.762
- Ye lived in and were addicted to [such practices]."
- 00:15:49.762 --> 00:15:56.635
- Now look at what he says in verse 8.
- 00:15:56.635 --> 00:15:58.871
- "but now," someone say, "but now."
- 00:15:58.871 --> 00:16:03.942
- How many of you know the direction and the context is
- 00:16:03.942 --> 00:16:07.346
- About to change?
- 00:16:07.346 --> 00:16:08.680
- So he says, you live that way and you walk that way for
- 00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:12.618
- Some time.
- 00:16:12.618 --> 00:16:14.019
- He says, "but now ye also put off all these."
- 00:16:14.019 --> 00:16:19.491
- He says, you also you put them off.
- 00:16:19.491 --> 00:16:22.828
- So sanctification, holiness is a two part process.
- 00:16:22.828 --> 00:16:27.933
- It is a putting off and it also is a putting on just like
- 00:16:27.933 --> 00:16:33.372
- Redemption is the putting off and the putting on.
- 00:16:33.372 --> 00:16:37.576
- So he says, "but now ye also put off all these."
- 00:16:37.576 --> 00:16:43.415
- You put off "anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy
- 00:16:43.415 --> 00:16:50.222
- Communication out of your mouth."
- 00:16:50.222 --> 00:16:54.059
- The amplified says, "rid yourselves [completely]
- 00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:56.929
- Of these things: rage, bad feeling toward others, curses
- 00:16:56.929 --> 00:17:02.334
- And slander, and foulmouthed abuse and shameful utterances
- 00:17:02.334 --> 00:17:07.239
- From your lips!"
- 00:17:07.239 --> 00:17:09.808
- How many of you know when we began to see each other in the
- 00:17:09.808 --> 00:17:13.512
- Image that god has made one another and how many of you know
- 00:17:13.512 --> 00:17:17.116
- Our language will begin to change?
- 00:17:17.116 --> 00:17:18.984
- But until we can see ourselves like god sees us, it'll always
- 00:17:18.984 --> 00:17:23.889
- Be where we see other people inappropriately and incorrectly
- 00:17:23.889 --> 00:17:28.160
- As well.
- 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:29.495
- The reason why the children of israel, when they were supposed
- 00:17:29.495 --> 00:17:33.165
- To go into the land that flowed with milk and honey, they
- 00:17:33.165 --> 00:17:36.068
- Couldn't see what god was trying to do in their life because they
- 00:17:36.068 --> 00:17:39.304
- Saw themselves as grasshoppers and saw themselves as little in
- 00:17:39.304 --> 00:17:43.709
- Their own eyes.
- 00:17:43.709 --> 00:17:45.177
- And so until we understand who we are that it'll change our
- 00:17:45.177 --> 00:17:49.148
- Minds and it'll change the way that we began to treat and value
- 00:17:49.148 --> 00:17:53.719
- And respect one another.
- 00:17:53.719 --> 00:17:56.088
- So it says here he says, "and put on the new man" in verse 9,
- 00:17:56.088 --> 00:18:05.597
- It says, "do not lie to one another, for you have stripped
- 00:18:05.597 --> 00:18:09.868
- Off the old (unregenerate)
- 00:18:09.868 --> 00:18:13.705
- Self with its evil practices."
- 00:18:13.705 --> 00:18:16.942
- He says in verse 10, "and have clothed yourselves with the new
- 00:18:16.942 --> 00:18:21.747
- [spiritual self], which is [ever in the process]."
- 00:18:21.747 --> 00:18:25.984
- Someone say, "i'm in the process."
- 00:18:25.984 --> 00:18:30.355
- So he says, "ever in the process."
- 00:18:30.355 --> 00:18:33.692
- I know how we think highly and oh, i have arrived, but no, god
- 00:18:33.692 --> 00:18:38.163
- Says, you are in the process.
- 00:18:38.163 --> 00:18:41.700
- We are in the process.
- 00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:44.136
- Part of us has been changed permanently.
- 00:18:44.136 --> 00:18:49.208
- Our spirit when we receive jesus as our lord and as our personal
- 00:18:49.208 --> 00:18:52.144
- Savior, a third of us when we become saved is perfect.
- 00:18:52.144 --> 00:18:55.948
- But how many of you know that mind has to be renewed, it has
- 00:18:55.948 --> 00:18:59.218
- To become perfected, and the body has to be made perfect and
- 00:18:59.218 --> 00:19:03.789
- It will once we go to heaven.
- 00:19:03.789 --> 00:19:05.958
- But we're in the ever process now.
- 00:19:05.958 --> 00:19:10.596
- "[ever in the process of being]
- 00:19:10.596 --> 00:19:13.198
- Renewed and remodeled into [fuller and more perfect
- 00:19:13.198 --> 00:19:19.238
- Knowledge upon]
- 00:19:19.238 --> 00:19:20.772
- Knowledge after the image (the likeness)
- 00:19:20.772 --> 00:19:24.142
- Of him who created it."
- 00:19:24.142 --> 00:19:26.979
- So in essence, we're going back and jesus came to restore us
- 00:19:26.979 --> 00:19:31.383
- Back to how adam and eve were in the garden of eden when they
- 00:19:31.383 --> 00:19:35.220
- Stood before god without any guilt and without any shame,
- 00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:39.891
- Knowing who they were as the righteousness of god, knowing
- 00:19:39.891 --> 00:19:43.362
- They were the beloved, knowing they were the affirm, the
- 00:19:43.362 --> 00:19:46.064
- Welcome, the pleasing of god.
- 00:19:46.064 --> 00:19:48.667
- And so he says, i'm in the process of getting you back to
- 00:19:48.667 --> 00:19:52.371
- That place of confidence of my love for you and the love that
- 00:19:52.371 --> 00:19:57.309
- You can have to other people and you'll begin to treat them just
- 00:19:57.309 --> 00:20:01.480
- Like i treat you.
- 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:03.382
- But how many of you you know that's a process?
- 00:20:03.382 --> 00:20:06.852
- It takes time.
- 00:20:06.852 --> 00:20:08.186
- A lot of times that there's hurt and abuse and all kinds of
- 00:20:08.186 --> 00:20:11.290
- Negative emotions and negative experiences from the past.
- 00:20:11.290 --> 00:20:14.159
- Thank god for the holy spirit that he can get us to a place
- 00:20:14.159 --> 00:20:17.663
- Where we can be healed and we can be whole 'cause ultimately,
- 00:20:17.663 --> 00:20:20.932
- He wants us to have the confidence of who we are being
- 00:20:20.932 --> 00:20:24.236
- The image being made in his likeness and after him who
- 00:20:24.236 --> 00:20:29.608
- Created him.
- 00:20:29.608 --> 00:20:31.076
- And so he says, this is what we are when we put on the new man
- 00:20:31.076 --> 00:20:37.616
- After we have taken off the old anger and wrath and malice and
- 00:20:37.616 --> 00:20:43.689
- Blasphemy and allow the word of god to get down into
- 00:20:43.689 --> 00:20:48.026
- Your spirit.
- 00:20:48.026 --> 00:20:49.761
- The word of god can heal you from all of that stuff.
- 00:20:49.761 --> 00:20:52.464
- It can change you where you're no longer hurt person that's
- 00:20:52.464 --> 00:20:55.801
- Going around hurting people.
- 00:20:55.801 --> 00:20:57.736
- But how many of you know jesus can heal you wherever you hurt?
- 00:20:57.736 --> 00:21:03.008
- If we can own it.
- 00:21:03.008 --> 00:21:05.043
- Lord, i am hurt, i am hurting, heal me so that i can be what
- 00:21:05.043 --> 00:21:12.484
- You want me to be and i can express your love and i can be a
- 00:21:12.484 --> 00:21:16.822
- Demonstration of your love and your healing power.
- 00:21:16.822 --> 00:21:21.593
- So he says, put off all that old stuff that wrath and malice and
- 00:21:21.593 --> 00:21:26.698
- Contention and competition and jealousy and envy and strife and
- 00:21:26.698 --> 00:21:31.403
- Put on the new man that's created after me and after
- 00:21:31.403 --> 00:21:35.307
- Godliness and holiness so that people can see
- 00:21:35.307 --> 00:21:40.545
