...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.346
Male announcer: this program is brought to you in part

Announcer: coming up next on "changing your world."
00:00:07.987 --> 00:00:10.423
Taffi dollar: and jesus came to restore us back to how adam and
00:00:11.925 --> 00:00:15.361
Eve were in the garden of eden when they stood before god
00:00:15.361 --> 00:00:19.299
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
Of god.
00:00:30.577 --> 00:00:31.945
And so he says, i'm in the process of getting you back to
00:00:31.945 --> 00:00:35.115

Taffi: now, in 2 corinthians chapter 3 verse 18, verse 17
00:01:58.097 --> 00:02:01.734
Says, "now the lord is that spirit and where the spirit of
00:02:01.734 --> 00:02:07.440
The lord is there is," what?
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:10.043
Bondage, confusion, chaos, animosity, strife, greed,
00:02:10.043 --> 00:02:20.019
Covetousness, lying, cheating.
00:02:20.019 --> 00:02:23.089
He says now the lord is that spirit.
00:02:23.089 --> 00:02:26.092
He's talking about the holy spirit.
00:02:26.092 --> 00:02:29.095
The holy spirit will confirm what the lord is the lordship
00:02:29.095 --> 00:02:33.833
Over our life and it won't contradict one with the other.
00:02:33.833 --> 00:02:37.470
They are god the father, three in one, the triune of god.
00:02:37.470 --> 00:02:41.941
The lord will confirm his word through the holy spirit.
00:02:41.941 --> 00:02:46.112
"now the lord is that spirit," he is that spirit, "and where
00:02:46.112 --> 00:02:51.451
The spirit of the lord is, there is (emancipation from bondage)."
00:02:51.451 --> 00:02:56.289
The amplified says.
00:02:56.289 --> 00:02:58.524
Maybe there's some bondages in your life that you just like
00:02:58.524 --> 00:03:01.361
Lord, when am i gonna be free from this?
00:03:01.361 --> 00:03:04.864
He says, "where the spirit of the lord is, there is
00:03:04.864 --> 00:03:08.334
(emancipation from bondage)."
00:03:08.334 --> 00:03:12.071
That's what jesus came to do, not to free us from captivity so
00:03:12.071 --> 00:03:17.844
That we can get back in captivity again.
00:03:17.844 --> 00:03:20.013
What kind of sense does that make?
00:03:20.013 --> 00:03:22.248
That's why i wrestle with folks who don't understand the
00:03:22.248 --> 00:03:26.085
Importance of us all walking in the equality that jesus came for
00:03:26.085 --> 00:03:30.023
Us to experience.
00:03:30.023 --> 00:03:31.457
Not so that we would live in equality and go back to equality
00:03:31.457 --> 00:03:34.794
Again after jesus came, but that we can all be one in
00:03:34.794 --> 00:03:38.464
Christ jesus.
00:03:38.464 --> 00:03:40.033
So there's this emancipation that comes as a result of the
00:03:40.033 --> 00:03:45.405
Spirit of the lord and there is freedom.
00:03:45.405 --> 00:03:49.642
And in verse 18, "all of us, as with unveiled face," he says,
00:03:49.642 --> 00:03:58.985
All of us.
00:03:58.985 --> 00:04:00.420
Not just some to experience liberty, not some to
00:04:00.420 --> 00:04:04.824
Experience freedom.
00:04:04.824 --> 00:04:06.159
He says, "and all of us, as with an unveiled face."
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:11.364
Because before jesus came, there was a separation because
00:04:11.364 --> 00:04:14.867
Of the veil.
00:04:14.867 --> 00:04:16.202
The veil kept some out and kept some in.
00:04:16.202 --> 00:04:19.205
And now the veil, the scripture says was torn from top to
00:04:19.205 --> 00:04:23.209
Bottom, the veil was torn in two.
00:04:23.209 --> 00:04:27.113
He says, with an unveiled face, we can behold the glory of god.
00:04:27.113 --> 00:04:31.017
We can see god face to face.
00:04:31.017 --> 00:04:34.520
Now we can go direct to god.
00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:37.190
We can have direct access to him.
00:04:37.190 --> 00:04:39.092
We have equal ground that we can stand on, that we can go boldly,
00:04:39.092 --> 00:04:42.995
We can pursue god, we can rush god, we can go towards his
00:04:42.995 --> 00:04:47.066
Presence, we can receive his grace, we can see his mercy.
00:04:47.066 --> 00:04:51.337
So he says, with an unveiled face.
00:04:51.337 --> 00:04:54.640
We don't have to go through the priest and we don't have to go
00:04:54.640 --> 00:04:57.543
Through moses and do all these other things, but i'm telling
00:04:57.543 --> 00:05:00.847
You with an unveiled face, we are the apple of his eye and he
00:05:00.847 --> 00:05:06.652
Beholds us face to face.
00:05:06.652 --> 00:05:10.223
So he says, with an unveiled face "[because we]
00:05:10.223 --> 00:05:13.025
Continued to behold [in the word of god]
00:05:13.025 --> 00:05:17.764
As in a mirror the glory of the lord."
00:05:17.764 --> 00:05:22.802
And so the word of god is a mirror.
00:05:22.802 --> 00:05:26.139
And how many of you know you gotta look in the mirror on
00:05:26.139 --> 00:05:28.908
A continuous basis, amen.
00:05:28.908 --> 00:05:34.347
Likes, amen.
00:05:34.347 --> 00:05:36.816
Wallpaper, amen.
00:05:36.816 --> 00:05:38.384
Carpet.
00:05:38.384 --> 00:05:39.752
He says, you must continue to behold in the word of god as in
00:05:39.752 --> 00:05:47.493
A mirror, continue, continue.
00:05:47.493 --> 00:05:55.902
Some of us would not be very presentable if we didn't look in
00:05:55.902 --> 00:05:59.105
The mirror on a continuous basis.
00:05:59.105 --> 00:06:01.207
I'm just gonna leave it there.
00:06:01.207 --> 00:06:02.542
I'm gonna be nice tonight.
00:06:02.542 --> 00:06:03.910
Not going.
00:06:03.910 --> 00:06:05.244
I, if i didn't look in the mirror, no telling what i would
00:06:05.244 --> 00:06:09.348
Look like.
00:06:09.348 --> 00:06:11.083
And just as if i don't look into the word of god, no telling what
00:06:11.083 --> 00:06:15.521
Type of reflection.
00:06:15.521 --> 00:06:16.923
I'd be reflecting all kind of stuff, reflecting the flesh and
00:06:16.923 --> 00:06:21.127
Going off and unfruitful and in the flesh.
00:06:21.127 --> 00:06:27.800
But he says, continue as in the mirror, the glory of the lord,
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:37.743
Continue to behold, to behold that, to keep it before you.
00:06:37.743 --> 00:06:42.548
To keep it before your eyes, your ears, your heart and that
00:06:42.548 --> 00:06:46.652
You don't put it down.
00:06:46.652 --> 00:06:48.020
Well, you know, i've been walking with the lord for 45
00:06:48.020 --> 00:06:50.456
Years and i have come a mighty long way.
00:06:50.456 --> 00:06:53.860
Well, you know what?
00:06:53.860 --> 00:06:55.194
We got a mighty long way to go.
00:06:55.194 --> 00:06:56.996
And obviously, if he still has us here, he has a purpose in
00:06:56.996 --> 00:06:59.799
Mind for us to do something.
00:06:59.799 --> 00:07:01.968
So continue to behold, continue to behold as a mirror, looking
00:07:01.968 --> 00:07:10.543
Into it, seeing what you look like, judging yourself based on
00:07:10.543 --> 00:07:16.782
What the word of god says.
00:07:16.782 --> 00:07:19.485
See what reflection.
00:07:19.485 --> 00:07:21.721
Are you reflecting jesus's image in the earth?
00:07:21.721 --> 00:07:25.858
How he wants us to carry ourselves.
00:07:25.858 --> 00:07:28.127
How he wants us to walk in grace.
00:07:28.127 --> 00:07:30.897
How he wants us to be people of love and people of patience and
00:07:30.897 --> 00:07:36.836
The fruit of the spirit.
00:07:36.836 --> 00:07:38.504
So he says, "we continue to behold the glory, the word of
00:07:38.504 --> 00:07:44.510
God as in a mirror, the glory of the lord are constantly,"
00:07:44.510 --> 00:07:48.848
Constantly, as long as you behold as a mirror, you will
00:07:48.848 --> 00:07:54.820
Constantly be changed.
00:07:54.820 --> 00:07:56.956
Now, once you put the word of god, you have no right, no
00:07:56.956 --> 00:08:00.359
Audacity to expect for god to change you.
00:08:00.359 --> 00:08:05.264
Because once we begin to rely on our own efforts or think that
00:08:05.264 --> 00:08:09.268
The word of god doesn't work, we cancel, we nullify the power of
00:08:09.268 --> 00:08:14.006
God to be able to provide the transformation in our life.
00:08:14.006 --> 00:08:18.177
So he says, "constantly being transfigured into the very own
00:08:18.177 --> 00:08:24.884
Image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of
00:08:24.884 --> 00:08:33.793
Glory to another; [for this comes]
00:08:33.793 --> 00:08:37.830
As the scripture says from the lord who is the spirit."
00:08:37.830 --> 00:08:44.070
And so there's this open face.
00:08:44.070 --> 00:08:46.906
Someone say, "i can change."
00:08:46.906 --> 00:08:52.278
You can change as you continue and constantly allow the word of
00:08:52.278 --> 00:09:00.920
God to be held in your life.
00:09:00.920 --> 00:09:06.292
So change takes place in the life of a believer by grace
00:09:06.292 --> 00:09:14.166
Through faith.
00:09:14.166 --> 00:09:16.235
Someone say, "by grace through faith."
00:09:16.235 --> 00:09:22.808
But how many of you know you can't change if you're always
00:09:22.808 --> 00:09:25.144
Trying to compare yourself with somebody else?
00:09:25.144 --> 00:09:27.780
You don't think you're good enough and you're trying to be
00:09:27.780 --> 00:09:30.182
Like them because, you know, it seem like they got it going on
00:09:30.182 --> 00:09:33.152
And so you think that you wanna be like them because that's what
00:09:33.152 --> 00:09:37.957
The world says you're supposed to look like and what you're
00:09:37.957 --> 00:09:40.726
Supposed to be as a christian.
00:09:40.726 --> 00:09:42.094
Look at 2 corinthians chapter 10 verse 12.
00:09:42.094 --> 00:09:45.164
You can't behold what god wants to do in your life if you're
00:09:45.164 --> 00:09:49.101
Continuously looking at other people instead of looking at the
00:09:49.101 --> 00:09:52.238
Word of god because we fail to understand what it is that god
00:09:52.238 --> 00:09:58.544
Wants to do in our life.
00:09:58.544 --> 00:10:00.713
And we're belittling what god has assigned for us because we
00:10:00.713 --> 00:10:04.617
Think that what they're doing is what we're supposed to be doing.
00:10:04.617 --> 00:10:08.788
So he says here in 2 corinthians chapter 10 verse 12, he says,
00:10:08.788 --> 00:10:16.462
"for we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare
00:10:16.462 --> 00:10:22.401
Ourselves with some that commend themselves; but they measuring
00:10:22.401 --> 00:10:29.575
Themselves by themselves."
00:10:29.575 --> 00:10:32.378
There's a lot of themselves.
00:10:32.378 --> 00:10:33.746
"and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."
00:10:33.746 --> 00:10:39.318
How many of you know you gotta get outside of themselves, amen.
00:10:39.318 --> 00:10:43.289
And know what it is that god is calling you to do.
00:10:43.289 --> 00:10:48.561
Your individual assignment for your life, how he's wanting to
00:10:48.561 --> 00:10:55.568
Work his word through your life, how he wants to manifest himself
00:10:55.568 --> 00:11:00.873
Through you.
00:11:00.873 --> 00:11:02.842
The amplified says, "not that we [have the audacity]," we have
00:11:02.842 --> 00:11:08.581
The audacity and that's what the world system does.
00:11:08.581 --> 00:11:11.484
It makes us think that that's perfection, that's success,
00:11:11.484 --> 00:11:17.556
That's accomplishments.
00:11:17.556 --> 00:11:19.692
And he says, "not that we [have the audacity to]
00:11:19.692 --> 00:11:24.330
Venture to class or [even to]
00:11:24.330 --> 00:11:26.866
Compare ourselves with some who exalt and furnish testimonials
00:11:26.866 --> 00:11:32.571
For themselves!"
00:11:32.571 --> 00:11:34.540
He says, "however, when they measure themselves with
00:11:34.540 --> 00:11:38.144
Themselves and compare themselves with one another,"
00:11:38.144 --> 00:11:41.680
I can't compare myself with anybody here because
00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:46.318
I'm different.
00:11:46.318 --> 00:11:48.754
So for me to compare myself and my assignment with what you're
00:11:48.754 --> 00:11:53.559
Doing is to discredit what god wants to do in both of
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.929
Our lives.
00:11:56.929 --> 00:11:59.064
And so when we can understand that we all have a unique
00:11:59.064 --> 00:12:02.201
Calling, we have a unique assignment, there's a grace over
00:12:02.201 --> 00:12:05.437
Our life, there's an ability that god wants us to do and then
00:12:05.437 --> 00:12:09.608
We can celebrate each other's uniqueness and each
00:12:09.608 --> 00:12:13.179
Other's differences.
00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:15.080
And we don't have to compete, we don't have to strive.
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.717
You know, equality is not about women competing with men.
00:12:18.717 --> 00:12:21.654
Nobody's trying to compete with men.
00:12:21.654 --> 00:12:23.756
We're not trying to, you know, take authority and usurp all
00:12:23.756 --> 00:12:28.027
This kind of stuff, but we're understanding that in christ we
00:12:28.027 --> 00:12:31.730
Are one, amen.
00:12:31.730 --> 00:12:35.534
And so he says, don't compare yourself amongst yourself and
00:12:35.534 --> 00:12:38.971
With yourselves.
00:12:38.971 --> 00:12:41.106
He says they are as a result "without understanding and
00:12:41.106 --> 00:12:45.744
Behave unwisely."
00:12:45.744 --> 00:12:49.582
So remember, we're not to compare ourselves with one
00:12:49.582 --> 00:12:51.884
Another or compete with one another.
00:12:51.884 --> 00:12:54.787
We are all made in the image and in the likeness of god to
00:12:54.787 --> 00:12:58.691
Reflect his glory to the world.
00:12:58.691 --> 00:13:02.294
We all are made, black, white, jew, greek, bond, free, whatever
00:13:02.294 --> 00:13:08.834
Class, middle, high, low, we are all made in the likeness, in the
00:13:08.834 --> 00:13:14.707
Image of god and we don't have to compare ourselves.
00:13:14.707 --> 00:13:17.576
God loves us all the same.
00:13:17.576 --> 00:13:19.612
He affirms us all the same.
00:13:19.612 --> 00:13:21.313
We're the beloved, we're the cherished of him and he believes
00:13:21.313 --> 00:13:25.584
In us.
00:13:25.584 --> 00:13:26.919
And so he says, when we compare him, we get into a place of
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.855
Competition and we are without understanding and we don't begin
00:13:29.855 --> 00:13:35.160
To see the fullness of the body.
00:13:35.160 --> 00:13:38.397
And that's what in essence has happened when we stifle off or
00:13:38.397 --> 00:13:43.102
We limit the potential maybe of the gender of women or we limit
00:13:43.102 --> 00:13:49.441
The potential of the african american man or whatever the
00:13:49.441 --> 00:13:54.313
Case may be, we limit that potential from becoming at its
00:13:54.313 --> 00:13:58.017
Fullest in society and society will never get to the highest
00:13:58.017 --> 00:14:01.921
Point because we're at a place of disadvantage.
00:14:01.921 --> 00:14:05.824
And so he says, we are without understanding and as a result,
00:14:05.824 --> 00:14:10.296
We behave unwisely.
00:14:10.296 --> 00:14:15.467
But we are all reflectors, the true image of god and we are to
00:14:15.467 --> 00:14:20.706
Reflect his glory, going from one glory to another level
00:14:20.706 --> 00:14:25.210
Of glory.
00:14:25.210 --> 00:14:26.578
Look at colossians 3 verse 10.
00:14:26.578 --> 00:14:28.647
Colossians 3 verse 10.
00:14:28.647 --> 00:14:37.489
Everybody's path is different.
00:14:37.489 --> 00:14:41.226
Of course, the destination may be the same, but what god wants
00:14:41.226 --> 00:14:45.831
To do through you may be different from what he wants to
00:14:45.831 --> 00:14:48.534
Do through me.
00:14:48.534 --> 00:14:49.868
That's why we can't copy other people's lives and duplicate
00:14:49.868 --> 00:14:53.072
What they're doing.
00:14:53.072 --> 00:14:54.406
We have to know what god is speaking to us by spending time
00:14:54.406 --> 00:14:58.077
With him and allowing his spirit to lead us and direct us on
00:14:58.077 --> 00:15:01.847
A day to day basis.
00:15:01.847 --> 00:15:04.283
Now, verse 7 says, "in the which ye also walk some time, when ye
00:15:04.283 --> 00:15:09.688
Lived in them, but now," he's talking about when we were
00:15:09.688 --> 00:15:15.661
Outside of the things of god.
00:15:15.661 --> 00:15:18.630
He says, "among you whom you also walked, when you were
00:15:18.630 --> 00:15:21.967
Living in and you were addicted to [such practices]."
00:15:21.967 --> 00:15:26.572
Those practices were described here in verse 5--when we were
00:15:26.572 --> 00:15:32.578
Addicted to "fornication and uncleanness, inordinate
00:15:32.578 --> 00:15:37.549
Affections, evil concupiscence, covetousness, idolatry."
00:15:37.549 --> 00:15:43.989
And then he says, "in the which ye also walked some time, when
00:15:43.989 --> 00:15:49.628
Ye lived in and were addicted to [such practices]."
00:15:49.628 --> 00:15:56.502
Now look at what he says in verse 8.
00:15:56.502 --> 00:15:58.737
"but now," someone say, "but now."
00:15:58.737 --> 00:16:03.809
How many of you know the direction and the context is
00:16:03.809 --> 00:16:07.212
About to change?
00:16:07.212 --> 00:16:08.547
So he says, you live that way and you walk that way for
00:16:08.547 --> 00:16:12.484
Some time.
00:16:12.484 --> 00:16:13.886
He says, "but now ye also put off all these."
00:16:13.886 --> 00:16:19.358
He says, you also you put them off.
00:16:19.358 --> 00:16:22.694
So sanctification, holiness is a two part process.
00:16:22.694 --> 00:16:27.800
It is a putting off and it also is a putting on just like
00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:33.238
Redemption is the putting off and the putting on.
00:16:33.238 --> 00:16:37.443
So he says, "but now ye also put off all these."
00:16:37.443 --> 00:16:43.282
You put off "anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy
00:16:43.282 --> 00:16:50.089
Communication out of your mouth."
00:16:50.089 --> 00:16:53.926
The amplified says, "rid yourselves [completely]
00:16:53.926 --> 00:16:56.795
Of these things: rage, bad feeling toward others, curses
00:16:56.795 --> 00:17:02.201
And slander, and foulmouthed abuse and shameful utterances
00:17:02.201 --> 00:17:07.106
From your lips!"
00:17:07.106 --> 00:17:09.675
How many of you know when we began to see each other in the
00:17:09.675 --> 00:17:13.378
Image that god has made one another and how many of you know
00:17:13.378 --> 00:17:16.982
Our language will begin to change?
00:17:16.982 --> 00:17:18.851
But until we can see ourselves like god sees us, it'll always
00:17:18.851 --> 00:17:23.755
Be where we see other people inappropriately and incorrectly
00:17:23.755 --> 00:17:28.026
As well.
00:17:28.026 --> 00:17:29.361
The reason why the children of israel, when they were supposed
00:17:29.361 --> 00:17:33.031
To go into the land that flowed with milk and honey, they
00:17:33.031 --> 00:17:35.934
Couldn't see what god was trying to do in their life because they
00:17:35.934 --> 00:17:39.171
Saw themselves as grasshoppers and saw themselves as little in
00:17:39.171 --> 00:17:43.575
Their own eyes.
00:17:43.575 --> 00:17:45.043
And so until we understand who we are that it'll change our
00:17:45.043 --> 00:17:49.014
Minds and it'll change the way that we began to treat and value
00:17:49.014 --> 00:17:53.585
And respect one another.
00:17:53.585 --> 00:17:55.954
So it says here he says, "and put on the new man" in verse 9,
00:17:55.954 --> 00:18:05.464
It says, "do not lie to one another, for you have stripped
00:18:05.464 --> 00:18:09.735
Off the old (unregenerate)
00:18:09.735 --> 00:18:13.572
Self with its evil practices."
00:18:13.572 --> 00:18:16.808
He says in verse 10, "and have clothed yourselves with the new
00:18:16.808 --> 00:18:21.613
[spiritual self], which is [ever in the process]."
00:18:21.613 --> 00:18:25.851
Someone say, "i'm in the process."
00:18:25.851 --> 00:18:30.222
So he says, "ever in the process."
00:18:30.222 --> 00:18:33.559
I know how we think highly and oh, i have arrived, but no, god
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:38.030
Says, you are in the process.
00:18:38.030 --> 00:18:41.567
We are in the process.
00:18:41.567 --> 00:18:44.002
Part of us has been changed permanently.
00:18:44.002 --> 00:18:49.074
Our spirit when we receive jesus as our lord and as our personal
00:18:49.074 --> 00:18:52.010
Savior, a third of us when we become saved is perfect.
00:18:52.010 --> 00:18:55.814
But how many of you know that mind has to be renewed, it has
00:18:55.814 --> 00:18:59.084
To become perfected, and the body has to be made perfect and
00:18:59.084 --> 00:19:03.655
It will once we go to heaven.
00:19:03.655 --> 00:19:05.824
But we're in the ever process now.
00:19:05.824 --> 00:19:10.462
"[ever in the process of being]
00:19:10.462 --> 00:19:13.065
Renewed and remodeled into [fuller and more perfect
00:19:13.065 --> 00:19:19.104
Knowledge upon]
00:19:19.104 --> 00:19:20.639
Knowledge after the image (the likeness)
00:19:20.639 --> 00:19:24.009
Of him who created it."
00:19:24.009 --> 00:19:26.845
So in essence, we're going back and jesus came to restore us
00:19:26.845 --> 00:19:31.250
Back to how adam and eve were in the garden of eden when they
00:19:31.250 --> 00:19:35.087
Stood before god without any guilt and without any shame,
00:19:35.087 --> 00:19:39.758
Knowing who they were as the righteousness of god, knowing
00:19:39.758 --> 00:19:43.228
They were the beloved, knowing they were the affirm, the
00:19:43.228 --> 00:19:45.931
Welcome, the pleasing of god.
00:19:45.931 --> 00:19:48.533
And so he says, i'm in the process of getting you back to
00:19:48.533 --> 00:19:52.237
That place of confidence of my love for you and the love that
00:19:52.237 --> 00:19:57.175
You can have to other people and you'll begin to treat them just
00:19:57.175 --> 00:20:01.346
Like i treat you.
00:20:01.346 --> 00:20:03.248
But how many of you you know that's a process?
00:20:03.248 --> 00:20:06.718
It takes time.
00:20:06.718 --> 00:20:08.053
A lot of times that there's hurt and abuse and all kinds of
00:20:08.053 --> 00:20:11.156
Negative emotions and negative experiences from the past.
00:20:11.156 --> 00:20:14.026
Thank god for the holy spirit that he can get us to a place
00:20:14.026 --> 00:20:17.529
Where we can be healed and we can be whole 'cause ultimately,
00:20:17.529 --> 00:20:20.799
He wants us to have the confidence of who we are being
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:24.102
The image being made in his likeness and after him who
00:20:24.102 --> 00:20:29.474
Created him.
00:20:29.474 --> 00:20:30.942
And so he says, this is what we are when we put on the new man
00:20:30.942 --> 00:20:37.482
After we have taken off the old anger and wrath and malice and
00:20:37.482 --> 00:20:43.555
Blasphemy and allow the word of god to get down into
00:20:43.555 --> 00:20:47.893
Your spirit.
00:20:47.893 --> 00:20:49.628
The word of god can heal you from all of that stuff.
00:20:49.628 --> 00:20:52.331
It can change you where you're no longer hurt person that's
00:20:52.331 --> 00:20:55.667
Going around hurting people.
00:20:55.667 --> 00:20:57.602
But how many of you know jesus can heal you wherever you hurt?
00:20:57.602 --> 00:21:02.874
If we can own it.
00:21:02.874 --> 00:21:04.910
Lord, i am hurt, i am hurting, heal me so that i can be what
00:21:04.910 --> 00:21:12.351
You want me to be and i can express your love and i can be a
00:21:12.351 --> 00:21:16.688
Demonstration of your love and your healing power.
00:21:16.688 --> 00:21:21.460
So he says, put off all that old stuff that wrath and malice and
00:21:21.460 --> 00:21:26.565
Contention and competition and jealousy and envy and strife and
00:21:26.565 --> 00:21:31.269
Put on the new man that's created after me and after
00:21:31.269 --> 00:21:35.173
Godliness and holiness so that people can see
00:21:35.173 --> 00:21:40.412
The transformation in our lives, amen.

Change is essential for growth and as believers,

Our lives should reflect the transformation
00:22:00.966 --> 00:22:03.635

And when it gets to the root, behavior begins to change.
00:22:22.754 --> 00:22:26.124

Things god has brought you out of that you refuse to share

And the expectations society places on us.
00:23:25.350 --> 00:23:27.652
