  • (bright music)
  • 00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:03.746
  • - friends, thanks so much for tuning into the broadcast.
  • 00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:07.950
  • I trust that you're going to enjoy this teaching.
  • 00:00:07.950 --> 00:00:10.686
  • We are gonna be sharing how grace moves us.
  • 00:00:10.686 --> 00:00:15.958
  • Grace moves us from works to faith.
  • 00:00:16.759 --> 00:00:19.862
  • Grace moves us from sin to righteousness.
  • 00:00:19.862 --> 00:00:23.532
  • Grace moves us from death to life,
  • 00:00:23.532 --> 00:00:26.569
  • And grace moves us from frustration to fulfillment.
  • 00:00:26.569 --> 00:00:30.739
  • You don't want to miss this teaching today.
  • 00:00:30.739 --> 00:00:33.275
  • Blessings.
  • 00:00:33.275 --> 00:00:34.743
  • (bright music)
  • 00:00:34.743 --> 00:00:53.696
  • I am sharing about the grace advantage,
  • 00:00:54.530 --> 00:00:57.032
  • And we started last week
  • 00:00:57.032 --> 00:00:58.367
  • With the scripture i've shared parts of this,
  • 00:00:58.367 --> 00:01:00.336
  • But i have never just taught on this scripture.
  • 00:01:00.336 --> 00:01:02.938
  • And i shared from 2 corinthians chapter 12, verse 9,
  • 00:01:02.938 --> 00:01:06.642
  • Where paul said, "my grace, jesus,"
  • 00:01:06.642 --> 00:01:09.044
  • He actually was attacked by the devil.
  • 00:01:09.044 --> 00:01:13.816
  • He's, you know, he calls it a thorn in the flesh.
  • 00:01:13.816 --> 00:01:16.018
  • And then he explains what it was.
  • 00:01:16.018 --> 00:01:17.653
  • He said, it was a messenger of satan to buffet me.
  • 00:01:17.653 --> 00:01:22.024
  • He prayed three times
  • 00:01:22.525 --> 00:01:24.026
  • And asked jesus to take this thing from him,
  • 00:01:24.026 --> 00:01:26.962
  • But it didn't go.
  • 00:01:27.396 --> 00:01:29.064
  • And jesus answered him in verse nine.
  • 00:01:29.865 --> 00:01:31.934
  • And he said, "my grace is sufficient for you,
  • 00:01:31.934 --> 00:01:35.204
  • For my strength is made perfect in weakness."
  • 00:01:35.204 --> 00:01:38.707
  • I want to tell you what jesus did not say.
  • 00:01:38.707 --> 00:01:42.478
  • Jesus did not say paul suffer with it.
  • 00:01:43.279 --> 00:01:47.416
  • Jesus said, "paul learned to rely on my grace."
  • 00:01:48.417 --> 00:01:53.656
  • Learn to rest in grace.
  • 00:01:54.156 --> 00:01:56.959
  • Praise god.
  • 00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:58.894
  • You know, a lot of times, if people take this wrong
  • 00:01:58.894 --> 00:02:00.930
  • And you get this religious image,
  • 00:02:00.930 --> 00:02:02.665
  • You'll think paul was some weak, sick person.
  • 00:02:02.665 --> 00:02:05.034
  • That is nothing but a absolute religious lie.
  • 00:02:05.034 --> 00:02:09.471
  • When you read all the difficulties
  • 00:02:09.471 --> 00:02:11.407
  • And problems that paul went through,
  • 00:02:11.407 --> 00:02:13.142
  • And you read this in 2 corinthians 11 and 12,
  • 00:02:13.142 --> 00:02:16.378
  • That paul faced doing the will of god,
  • 00:02:16.378 --> 00:02:18.981
  • You'll understand paul wasn't some sick, weak person.
  • 00:02:18.981 --> 00:02:26.155
  • Did you know, he said,
  • 00:02:26.655 --> 00:02:27.890
  • "i, of the jews 5 times, i got 39 stripes.
  • 00:02:27.890 --> 00:02:32.061
  • Three times i was beaten with rods.
  • 00:02:32.061 --> 00:02:34.797
  • I've been in the deep for a night and a day."
  • 00:02:35.731 --> 00:02:38.200
  • And if you tread water for 24 hours lately, i'm telling you,
  • 00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:42.104
  • That guy was tougher than nails and be in the ocean.
  • 00:02:42.104 --> 00:02:47.543
  • You know, i can swim pretty good in a pool.
  • 00:02:48.444 --> 00:02:49.979
  • I can swim for a few hours in a pool without stopping,
  • 00:02:49.979 --> 00:02:51.847
  • Without touching the bottom, but you get in the ocean.
  • 00:02:51.847 --> 00:02:54.650
  • I'm telling you, it is another world.
  • 00:02:54.650 --> 00:02:59.088
  • He said, "i've been in the deep a night and a day."
  • 00:03:00.089 --> 00:03:03.192
  • I mean, he had been through all kind of problems,
  • 00:03:03.192 --> 00:03:05.894
  • All kind of difficulties.
  • 00:03:05.894 --> 00:03:07.096
  • I think that the messenger of satan
  • 00:03:07.096 --> 00:03:09.898
  • To buffet him was persecution and affliction
  • 00:03:09.898 --> 00:03:12.968
  • That he got for preaching the gospel.
  • 00:03:12.968 --> 00:03:15.471
  • And you know what?
  • 00:03:15.471 --> 00:03:16.605
  • If you preach 100% of the gospel,
  • 00:03:16.605 --> 00:03:19.408
  • If you preach, did you know what jesus wants to do
  • 00:03:19.408 --> 00:03:23.245
  • And the promises of god that he has promised you,
  • 00:03:23.245 --> 00:03:26.348
  • God has promised you and jesus paid for
  • 00:03:26.348 --> 00:03:28.450
  • And the holy spirit get you, gives you the power to receive,
  • 00:03:28.450 --> 00:03:31.720
  • You're gonna make some religious devils mad.
  • 00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:34.957
  • I make some mad about every week.
  • 00:03:34.957 --> 00:03:37.226
  • (congregation laughing)
  • 00:03:37.226 --> 00:03:38.594
  • But i know that it helps people.
  • 00:03:38.594 --> 00:03:41.230
  • You know, i was sharing this in first service,
  • 00:03:42.131 --> 00:03:43.632
  • But years ago when we were in the elkton location,
  • 00:03:43.632 --> 00:03:46.402
  • I was preaching one sunday
  • 00:03:46.402 --> 00:03:48.070
  • And i made a statement that andrew wommack said,
  • 00:03:48.070 --> 00:03:51.507
  • You know, you need to get your thumb out of your mouth
  • 00:03:51.507 --> 00:03:53.575
  • And grow up and get over it.
  • 00:03:53.575 --> 00:03:56.278
  • And after church, some woman said,
  • 00:03:57.046 --> 00:03:58.647
  • "you just made me feel so bad when you said that.
  • 00:03:58.647 --> 00:04:01.784
  • You shouldn't be saying things like that."
  • 00:04:01.784 --> 00:04:05.654
  • And then two weeks later, a lady came in from counseling,
  • 00:04:06.822 --> 00:04:09.491
  • And she said, "man, you said something
  • 00:04:09.491 --> 00:04:10.926
  • That just literally set me free."
  • 00:04:10.926 --> 00:04:13.495
  • She opened her purse and she had it written down,
  • 00:04:14.430 --> 00:04:16.965
  • "get your thumb out of your mouth!
  • 00:04:16.965 --> 00:04:18.467
  • Grow up and get over it!"
  • 00:04:18.467 --> 00:04:19.968
  • (congregation laughing)
  • 00:04:19.968 --> 00:04:24.139
  • It's the same thing, it's just how you take it.
  • 00:04:25.140 --> 00:04:27.576
  • - [congregation] yeah.
  • 00:04:27.576 --> 00:04:28.944
  • - and you know what, if you got the right,
  • 00:04:28.944 --> 00:04:30.446
  • If you wanna be offended, i'll guarantee you,
  • 00:04:30.446 --> 00:04:32.448
  • I'll give you a reason to get offended.
  • 00:04:32.448 --> 00:04:34.183
  • (congregation laughing)
  • 00:04:34.183 --> 00:04:37.453
  • But i'm telling you, if you wanna make it,
  • 00:04:37.453 --> 00:04:38.987
  • You can believe the word and the word that we preach here
  • 00:04:38.987 --> 00:04:42.758
  • Will bring you into victory.
  • 00:04:42.758 --> 00:04:44.193
  • The word will work if you'll believe it.
  • 00:04:44.193 --> 00:04:46.729
  • The word works if you'll believe it, you can receive it.
  • 00:04:46.729 --> 00:04:49.431
  • Amen?
  • 00:04:49.431 --> 00:04:50.566
  • But when paul, when jesus spoke to paul and said,
  • 00:04:51.567 --> 00:04:53.736
  • "my grace is sufficient for you,
  • 00:04:53.736 --> 00:04:55.637
  • For my strength is made perfect in weakness,"
  • 00:04:55.637 --> 00:04:57.873
  • He was not saying paul suffer with it.
  • 00:04:57.873 --> 00:04:59.875
  • He was saying, "paul, learn to rest in grace.
  • 00:04:59.875 --> 00:05:02.378
  • Learn to rely on grace."
  • 00:05:02.378 --> 00:05:04.680
  • And when you read the context, you can understand,
  • 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.549
  • Because he says, "most gladly, therefore,"
  • 00:05:07.549 --> 00:05:10.119
  • After he says that in verse nine,
  • 00:05:10.119 --> 00:05:11.854
  • "i will glory in my infirmities in weakness
  • 00:05:11.854 --> 00:05:15.290
  • That the power of christ may rest upon me.
  • 00:05:15.290 --> 00:05:18.060
  • Therefore, i take pleasure in problems."
  • 00:05:18.060 --> 00:05:21.397
  • In reproaches. (laughing)
  • 00:05:21.397 --> 00:05:24.700
  • Heather, you're just getting started.
  • 00:05:25.467 --> 00:05:27.302
  • - [heather] i know!
  • 00:05:27.302 --> 00:05:28.837
  • - hallelujah.
  • 00:05:28.837 --> 00:05:30.205
  • "in necessities, in persecutions,
  • 00:05:30.205 --> 00:05:32.508
  • In distress for christ's sake.
  • 00:05:32.508 --> 00:05:34.643
  • For when i'm weak, then i am made strong."
  • 00:05:34.643 --> 00:05:37.679
  • And so learn how to rely on the grace of god,
  • 00:05:37.679 --> 00:05:40.883
  • Learn how to rest in the grace of god,
  • 00:05:40.883 --> 00:05:43.018
  • Learn how to trust in the grace of god.
  • 00:05:43.018 --> 00:05:45.487
  • But today, so i was talking about rest and grace,
  • 00:05:45.487 --> 00:05:47.956
  • But today, i'm gonna talk about how grace moves us.
  • 00:05:47.956 --> 00:05:51.126
  • Did you know grace will move you
  • 00:05:51.126 --> 00:05:53.495
  • From the problem into the victory?
  • 00:05:53.495 --> 00:05:56.632
  • And i want you to turn with me to galatians chapter 2,
  • 00:05:57.733 --> 00:05:59.368
  • One of my favorite portions of scripture.
  • 00:05:59.368 --> 00:06:01.703
  • I wanna start reading in verse 15.
  • 00:06:01.703 --> 00:06:04.139
  • Paul says, "we who are jews by nature
  • 00:06:04.940 --> 00:06:07.042
  • And not sinners of the gentiles,
  • 00:06:07.042 --> 00:06:09.745
  • Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law,
  • 00:06:11.013 --> 00:06:13.482
  • But by the faith of jesus.
  • 00:06:13.482 --> 00:06:15.717
  • Even as we have believed in jesus christ,
  • 00:06:15.717 --> 00:06:19.488
  • He says that we might be justified by the faith of christ
  • 00:06:19.488 --> 00:06:23.792
  • And not by the works of the law.
  • 00:06:23.792 --> 00:06:26.061
  • For by the works of the law, shall no flesh be justified.
  • 00:06:26.061 --> 00:06:30.265
  • But if while we seek to be justified by christ,
  • 00:06:30.265 --> 00:06:33.502
  • We ourselves are also found sinners and therefore christ,"
  • 00:06:33.502 --> 00:06:38.207
  • He says, "is therefore christ the minister of sin."
  • 00:06:38.207 --> 00:06:40.776
  • He asks the question, god forbid.
  • 00:06:40.776 --> 00:06:44.279
  • He says in verse 18,
  • 00:06:44.746 --> 00:06:46.215
  • "for if i build again the things which i destroyed,
  • 00:06:46.215 --> 00:06:48.550
  • I make myself a transgressor.
  • 00:06:48.550 --> 00:06:50.886
  • For i through the law am dead to the law
  • 00:06:50.886 --> 00:06:53.589
  • That i might live to god.
  • 00:06:53.589 --> 00:06:56.091
  • I am crucified with christ.
  • 00:06:56.091 --> 00:06:57.893
  • Nevertheless, i live.
  • 00:06:57.893 --> 00:06:59.995
  • Yet not i, but christ lives in me
  • 00:06:59.995 --> 00:07:02.764
  • And the life which i now live in the flesh,
  • 00:07:02.764 --> 00:07:05.601
  • I live by the faith of the son of god who loved me
  • 00:07:05.601 --> 00:07:10.372
  • And gave himself for me.
  • 00:07:10.372 --> 00:07:12.808
  • I do not frustrate the grace of god
  • 00:07:12.808 --> 00:07:15.177
  • For if righteousness comes by the law,
  • 00:07:15.177 --> 00:07:19.815
  • Then christ is dead in vain."
  • 00:07:19.815 --> 00:07:23.552
  • So what paul is talking about is how grace moves us.
  • 00:07:23.552 --> 00:07:28.724
  • And when grace moves us,
  • 00:07:29.224 --> 00:07:30.726
  • It moves us from the problem into the victory.
  • 00:07:30.726 --> 00:07:33.395
  • But how does it do it?
  • 00:07:33.395 --> 00:07:34.329
  • We're gonna talk about that.
  • 00:07:34.329 --> 00:07:36.465
  • Notice what he says in verse 16,
  • 00:07:36.465 --> 00:07:38.000
  • "knowing that a man is not justified
  • 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.135
  • By the works of the law, but by the faith of jesus christ.
  • 00:07:40.135 --> 00:07:45.340
  • Even we have believed in jesus christ
  • 00:07:46.141 --> 00:07:48.443
  • That we might be justified by the faith of christ
  • 00:07:48.443 --> 00:07:51.847
  • And not by the works of the law.
  • 00:07:51.847 --> 00:07:53.415
  • For by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."
  • 00:07:53.415 --> 00:07:59.054
  • Grace will actually move you from works into faith.
  • 00:08:00.055 --> 00:08:05.694
  • And when you really understand the grace of god,
  • 00:08:06.695 --> 00:08:10.198
  • It will cause your faith to work.
  • 00:08:10.198 --> 00:08:13.235
  • Paul makes a statement
  • 00:08:13.735 --> 00:08:15.003
  • In galatians chapter five and verse six.
  • 00:08:15.003 --> 00:08:17.439
  • He says, "for in christ jesus,
  • 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.875
  • Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything
  • 00:08:19.875 --> 00:08:24.346
  • But faith that works by love."
  • 00:08:24.346 --> 00:08:27.583
  • And when paul makes that statement
  • 00:08:27.583 --> 00:08:29.251
  • In galatians five, verse six, faith works by love,
  • 00:08:29.251 --> 00:08:33.322
  • He's not talking about faith works
  • 00:08:33.322 --> 00:08:36.692
  • When you love one another.
  • 00:08:36.692 --> 00:08:38.827
  • In context, he said, "when you understand the love of god,
  • 00:08:38.827 --> 00:08:43.599
  • When you understand the grace of jesus christ,
  • 00:08:43.599 --> 00:08:47.135
  • It will cause your faith to work."
  • 00:08:47.135 --> 00:08:50.172
  • There are a lot of people in church
  • 00:08:50.172 --> 00:08:53.108
  • That don't have a revelation of grace.
  • 00:08:53.108 --> 00:08:55.711
  • In fact, i was pastoring for six,
  • 00:08:55.711 --> 00:08:58.547
  • Nearly seven years when i got a revelation of grace.
  • 00:08:58.547 --> 00:09:03.785
  • And when i got a revelation of grace,
  • 00:09:04.553 --> 00:09:05.887
  • It revolutionized my life.
  • 00:09:05.887 --> 00:09:08.523
  • I was talking to andrew wommack about it years ago.
  • 00:09:08.523 --> 00:09:11.893
  • We had a teacher who was actually very legalistic
  • 00:09:11.893 --> 00:09:16.131
  • And had no revelation of grace.
  • 00:09:16.131 --> 00:09:18.600
  • I remember one time andrew years ago
  • 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.302
  • Was having a conference down in southern colorado springs,
  • 00:09:20.302 --> 00:09:23.171
  • And this guy was teaching and i had to teach after him.
  • 00:09:23.171 --> 00:09:26.308
  • There was a little break after this guy taught.
  • 00:09:26.308 --> 00:09:27.976
  • And people were asking me,
  • 00:09:27.976 --> 00:09:29.277
  • "does this guy teach at the bible school?"
  • 00:09:29.277 --> 00:09:30.212
  • I'm like, "yeah."
  • 00:09:30.212 --> 00:09:31.380
  • They're like, "we're not coming."
  • 00:09:31.380 --> 00:09:33.015
  • I mean, it was that bad.
  • 00:09:33.515 --> 00:09:35.050
  • There was another guest minister that was there and he said,
  • 00:09:35.050 --> 00:09:37.219
  • Because i went and taught after him,
  • 00:09:37.219 --> 00:09:38.620
  • He said, "i'm so glad you gotta teach after him
  • 00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:41.089
  • And clean up that mess."
  • 00:09:41.089 --> 00:09:42.958
  • I mean, it was literally this bad.
  • 00:09:43.725 --> 00:09:45.127
  • Now, this man was a good man.
  • 00:09:45.127 --> 00:09:46.928
  • He loved god.
  • 00:09:46.928 --> 00:09:48.330
  • He operated in the gifts of the spirit.
  • 00:09:48.330 --> 00:09:49.898
  • But he had, i pastored for six years
  • 00:09:49.898 --> 00:09:51.533
  • Before i got a revelation of grace.
  • 00:09:51.533 --> 00:09:52.768
  • I mean, there's a lot of pastors
  • 00:09:52.768 --> 00:09:54.736
  • That have no revelation of grace.
  • 00:09:54.736 --> 00:09:56.805
  • And so, you know, after i got a revelation of grace,
  • 00:09:57.839 --> 00:10:00.876
  • One of the boys that grew up in my church
  • 00:10:00.876 --> 00:10:02.344
  • And actually had went to bible school,
  • 00:10:02.344 --> 00:10:04.546
  • Came and gave me a series by a pastor in the phoenix area.
  • 00:10:04.546 --> 00:10:10.218
  • And this pastor taught on jesus plus nothing.
  • 00:10:11.153 --> 00:10:14.656
  • It was the book of galatians.
  • 00:10:14.656 --> 00:10:16.258
  • It was like grace on steroids.
  • 00:10:16.258 --> 00:10:18.260
  • It was an amazing teaching.
  • 00:10:18.260 --> 00:10:20.629
  • And so i listened to this and i loved it.
  • 00:10:21.496 --> 00:10:22.964
  • But anyway, i went and told andrew wommack, i said,
  • 00:10:22.964 --> 00:10:24.833
  • "andrew, i'm gonna take this series, jesus plus nothing."
  • 00:10:24.833 --> 00:10:28.437
  • Or i told him after i did,
  • 00:10:28.437 --> 00:10:29.738
  • I took this series and i put it on this teacher
  • 00:10:29.738 --> 00:10:31.673
  • Who did not have a revelation of grace.
  • 00:10:31.673 --> 00:10:34.409
  • And i put it on his desk.
  • 00:10:34.976 --> 00:10:37.079
  • And andrew said, "do you know who taught that pastor grace?"
  • 00:10:37.079 --> 00:10:39.681
  • I'm like, "no."
  • 00:10:39.681 --> 00:10:40.682
  • He's like, "i did."
  • 00:10:40.682 --> 00:10:42.684
  • And he is like, "when i taught him grace,
  • 00:10:43.585 --> 00:10:45.854
  • He was pastor in this church for a number of years."
  • 00:10:45.854 --> 00:10:47.656
  • They actually kicked him out of his church,
  • 00:10:47.656 --> 00:10:50.358
  • Because he started teaching grace.
  • 00:10:50.358 --> 00:10:51.760
  • But he started another one and he said,
  • 00:10:51.760 --> 00:10:53.495
  • "now, he's got 5,000 people."
  • 00:10:53.495 --> 00:10:55.997
  • So he said, "i guess it was all right."
  • 00:10:55.997 --> 00:10:58.433
  • But andrew actually made a statement
  • 00:10:59.201 --> 00:11:00.435
  • To me and he said, you know what?
  • 00:11:00.435 --> 00:11:01.470
  • I believe that there are people
  • 00:11:01.470 --> 00:11:03.772
  • That don't have a revelation of grace.
  • 00:11:03.772 --> 00:11:06.208
  • And if god doesn't give you a revelation of grace,
  • 00:11:06.208 --> 00:11:09.344
  • You're not gonna get it.
  • 00:11:09.344 --> 00:11:10.445
  • It takes a revelation
  • 00:11:10.445 --> 00:11:12.748
  • To get to an understanding of the grace of god.
  • 00:11:12.748 --> 00:11:15.984
  • And i know there are people right now
  • 00:11:15.984 --> 00:11:17.452
  • That are sitting in this room right now
  • 00:11:17.452 --> 00:11:19.154
  • And you really love jesus,
  • 00:11:19.154 --> 00:11:20.956
  • But you have no revelation of grace.
  • 00:11:20.956 --> 00:11:24.092
  • You really have no revelation of the heart of what i teach.
  • 00:11:24.092 --> 00:11:28.897
  • And i love you and i respect what you got, right?
  • 00:11:28.897 --> 00:11:33.502
  • But listen, there's more to learn.
  • 00:11:33.502 --> 00:11:36.138
  • And if you'll get it, i'm guaranteeing you,
  • 00:11:37.072 --> 00:11:39.274
  • It'll revolutionize your life.
  • 00:11:39.274 --> 00:11:42.010
  • I heard andrew wommack for years
  • 00:11:42.010 --> 00:11:43.345
  • Before i got this revelation.
  • 00:11:43.345 --> 00:11:45.313
  • Barbara's like, "listen, you're not even like living
  • 00:11:45.313 --> 00:11:47.949
  • With the same person."
  • 00:11:47.949 --> 00:11:49.684
  • She's like, i don't believe our boys would be doing well
  • 00:11:49.684 --> 00:11:51.920
  • Like they're doing if you hadn't got a revelation of grace
  • 00:11:51.920 --> 00:11:54.089
  • When you..."
  • 00:11:54.089 --> 00:11:55.357
  • I got a revelation of grace when aaron
  • 00:11:55.357 --> 00:11:56.625
  • Was seven years old or six years old.
  • 00:11:56.625 --> 00:11:59.494
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:11:59.828 --> 00:12:01.296
  • And she's like, "i don't think they'd be doing that well
  • 00:12:01.296 --> 00:12:03.064
  • If you didn't get a revelation of grace."
  • 00:12:03.064 --> 00:12:04.733
  • But when i got a revelation of grace,
  • 00:12:04.733 --> 00:12:06.234
  • It changed how i lived.
  • 00:12:06.234 --> 00:12:08.036
  • Barbara used to dread living with me.
  • 00:12:08.837 --> 00:12:11.873
  • She's like, "you made me feel so bad," right?
  • 00:12:11.873 --> 00:12:16.645
  • I was diligent beyond.
  • 00:12:16.645 --> 00:12:17.913
  • Diligent, you talk about.
  • 00:12:17.913 --> 00:12:19.447
  • Man, i know diligence.
  • 00:12:19.447 --> 00:12:20.715
  • I'm still a very diligent person.
  • 00:12:20.715 --> 00:12:23.118
  • You know what i'm saying?
  • 00:12:23.685 --> 00:12:24.820
  • But it's not because of my diligence.
  • 00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:26.354
  • Diligence is a good thing.
  • 00:12:26.354 --> 00:12:27.422
  • Read the book of proverbs.
  • 00:12:27.422 --> 00:12:29.825
  • If you diligently apply yourself to the principles
  • 00:12:29.825 --> 00:12:32.460
  • Of the bible, that's gonna work in your life
  • 00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:34.296
  • And it's gonna work good.
  • 00:12:34.296 --> 00:12:36.031
  • But that doesn't mean because you're diligent
  • 00:12:36.031 --> 00:12:38.033
  • That you got a revelation of the gospel.
  • 00:12:38.033 --> 00:12:41.503
  • I mean, you need to get a revelation is some of the stuff
  • 00:12:42.637 --> 00:12:44.806
  • That i preach.
  • 00:12:44.806 --> 00:12:47.342
  • 'cause some of you, the way when you talk to me,
  • 00:12:48.310 --> 00:12:50.011
  • You're still talking old testament.
  • 00:12:50.011 --> 00:12:52.113
  • And i'm telling you, there is a drastic change
  • 00:12:53.081 --> 00:12:56.184
  • Between the old testament and the new testament.
  • 00:12:56.184 --> 00:13:01.122
  • Hi, friends.
  • 00:13:01.456 --> 00:13:03.024
  • I certainly hope that you're enjoying the broadcast today.
  • 00:13:03.024 --> 00:13:06.795
  • And we have these teachings on grace advantage available
  • 00:13:06.795 --> 00:13:11.633
  • On our website, downloadable audio, downloadable video,
  • 00:13:11.633 --> 00:13:16.438
  • Free of charge.
  • 00:13:16.438 --> 00:13:18.106
  • Don't forget to tell your friends about these teachings
  • 00:13:18.106 --> 00:13:22.377
  • And share them with your friends.
  • 00:13:22.377 --> 00:13:24.346
  • I believe this may be one of my greatest teachings.
  • 00:13:24.346 --> 00:13:27.282
  • So take advantage of this resource.
  • 00:13:27.282 --> 00:13:30.919
  • The way they prayed in the old testament,
  • 00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:33.722
  • We don't pray that way in the new testament.
  • 00:13:33.722 --> 00:13:37.692
  • I mean, it is completely different.
  • 00:13:38.493 --> 00:13:41.429
  • You know, i get revelation,
  • 00:13:42.030 --> 00:13:43.398
  • I've taught the grace of god from the book of job,
  • 00:13:43.398 --> 00:13:46.268
  • But there's something that happened
  • 00:13:46.268 --> 00:13:47.636
  • Between the book of job and the book of galatians.
  • 00:13:47.636 --> 00:13:52.974
  • It's called the death, burial, and resurrection of jesus,
  • 00:13:54.109 --> 00:13:56.778
  • And the sending of the holy ghost.
  • 00:13:56.778 --> 00:13:58.880
  • And that change everything.
  • 00:13:58.880 --> 00:14:00.916
  • - [congregation] yes!
  • 00:14:00.916 --> 00:14:02.550
  • - but i can preach grace from the book of job.
  • 00:14:03.485 --> 00:14:06.187
  • I can preach grace from the book of revelation.
  • 00:14:06.187 --> 00:14:08.223
  • I have.
  • 00:14:08.223 --> 00:14:09.124
  • I've got a series on it
  • 00:14:09.124 --> 00:14:10.392
  • Called "seeing jesus in the revelation".
  • 00:14:10.392 --> 00:14:12.727
  • Amen.
  • 00:14:12.727 --> 00:14:14.162
  • It is the revelation of jesus who is the grace of god.
  • 00:14:14.162 --> 00:14:16.464
  • And the very last verse says,
  • 00:14:16.464 --> 00:14:18.066
  • "the grace of our lord jesus christ be with you all."
  • 00:14:18.066 --> 00:14:20.235
  • That's all i'll say for now.
  • 00:14:20.235 --> 00:14:22.003
  • Amen, 'cause i wanna share this teaching,
  • 00:14:22.003 --> 00:14:23.638
  • But you know, when you get a revelation of grace,
  • 00:14:23.638 --> 00:14:25.373
  • It'll move you out of works and trusting works,
  • 00:14:25.373 --> 00:14:28.610
  • And it'll move you into trusting jesus.
  • 00:14:28.610 --> 00:14:31.846
  • And actually, they had a question in the book of acts
  • 00:14:32.881 --> 00:14:35.450
  • And they came in acts chapter 15 to the leadership
  • 00:14:35.450 --> 00:14:38.920
  • Of the church in antioch.
  • 00:14:38.920 --> 00:14:41.089
  • And the question was,
  • 00:14:41.089 --> 00:14:42.324
  • Do the gentiles need to be circumcised
  • 00:14:42.324 --> 00:14:45.226
  • Like the jews were circumcised after they get saved?
  • 00:14:45.226 --> 00:14:49.864
  • And they said, "why are you tempting to put a yoke,
  • 00:14:49.864 --> 00:14:53.034
  • A bondage on them that we could not bear?"
  • 00:14:53.034 --> 00:14:55.770
  • We believe, acts 15:11.
  • 00:14:55.770 --> 00:14:58.373
  • By the grace of god that they're gonna be saved
  • 00:14:58.373 --> 00:15:01.242
  • Just like us, so the answer was absolutely not.
  • 00:15:01.242 --> 00:15:06.514
  • But yet, we still have people
  • 00:15:07.148 --> 00:15:08.783
  • That wanna go back to the law to try to be justified.
  • 00:15:08.783 --> 00:15:14.022
  • And the spirit, i'm telling you,
  • 00:15:14.656 --> 00:15:16.591
  • The spirit of the law is well and alive,
  • 00:15:16.591 --> 00:15:19.494
  • And it's even well and alive in this church
  • 00:15:19.494 --> 00:15:21.830
  • Where i teach a lot of grace.
  • 00:15:21.830 --> 00:15:24.332
  • And i know it because of challenges that i deal with
  • 00:15:25.400 --> 00:15:27.669
  • On a regular basis.
  • 00:15:27.669 --> 00:15:29.971
  • But it is not.
  • 00:15:30.338 --> 00:15:31.573
  • Paul says this in romans 11, verse 6,
  • 00:15:31.573 --> 00:15:34.009
  • And i'll just read this to you,
  • 00:15:34.009 --> 00:15:36.044
  • But paul says this in romans 11 verse 6,
  • 00:15:36.044 --> 00:15:38.413
  • Talking about moving from works of faith.
  • 00:15:38.413 --> 00:15:40.215
  • "if it's by grace, then it's no more by works.
  • 00:15:40.215 --> 00:15:42.650
  • Otherwise, grace is no more by grace.
  • 00:15:42.650 --> 00:15:44.886
  • But if it's by works, then it's no more by grace.
  • 00:15:44.886 --> 00:15:47.088
  • Otherwise, work is no more work."
  • 00:15:47.088 --> 00:15:49.157
  • You're either saved by grace or you're saved by works,
  • 00:15:49.157 --> 00:15:52.560
  • But you're not saved by grace and by works.
  • 00:15:52.560 --> 00:15:55.330
  • And you know if you've read any new testament at all,
  • 00:15:55.330 --> 00:15:58.533
  • If you have a brain at all,
  • 00:15:58.533 --> 00:16:00.368
  • That we are not saved by our works.
  • 00:16:00.368 --> 00:16:02.804
  • We are saved by grace.
  • 00:16:02.804 --> 00:16:07.242
  • So grace will move you from works, from performance, right?
  • 00:16:07.242 --> 00:16:10.712
  • From focusing on you to grace, to focus it on jesus.
  • 00:16:10.712 --> 00:16:15.316
  • Grace number two will move you from condemnation
  • 00:16:15.316 --> 00:16:18.119
  • To justification.
  • 00:16:18.119 --> 00:16:22.123
  • Now, that's a big word.
  • 00:16:22.624 --> 00:16:25.527
  • Now, let's go back to galatians 2 and read this in verse 17.
  • 00:16:25.527 --> 00:16:29.731
  • He says, "but if while we seek to be justified by christ
  • 00:16:29.731 --> 00:16:33.935
  • Who is the embodiment of grace,
  • 00:16:33.935 --> 00:16:36.604
  • We ourselves are found sinners,
  • 00:16:36.604 --> 00:16:39.340
  • Is therefore christ the minister of sin."
  • 00:16:39.340 --> 00:16:42.310
  • In other words, if you really understand grace,
  • 00:16:43.244 --> 00:16:45.280
  • You don't go live like the devil.
  • 00:16:45.280 --> 00:16:47.415
  • People that are using grace as an excuse to live in sin
  • 00:16:47.415 --> 00:16:51.953
  • Don't understand grace.
  • 00:16:52.454 --> 00:16:54.289
  • They don't have a revelation of grace.
  • 00:16:54.289 --> 00:16:56.758
  • He says, "is christ the minister of sin?
  • 00:16:57.625 --> 00:16:59.327
  • God forbid."
  • 00:16:59.327 --> 00:17:01.596
  • So grace will move you from condemnation to justification.
  • 00:17:02.764 --> 00:17:07.569
  • We're justified simply by faith in jesus, right?
  • 00:17:07.569 --> 00:17:12.941
  • That's the whole message of romans.
  • 00:17:13.675 --> 00:17:15.643
  • The just shall live by faith.
  • 00:17:15.643 --> 00:17:20.548
  • Justified by faith.
  • 00:17:21.015 --> 00:17:22.383
  • We're not justified by our performance.
  • 00:17:22.383 --> 00:17:24.385
  • We're not justified by our worse.
  • 00:17:24.385 --> 00:17:25.987
  • We're justified by grace.
  • 00:17:25.987 --> 00:17:27.188
  • That's the only way, right?
  • 00:17:27.188 --> 00:17:28.957
  • By faith, that's the only way that people can get it
  • 00:17:28.957 --> 00:17:31.960
  • Is by faith in jesus.
  • 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:34.429
  • If you have any gospel understanding,
  • 00:17:34.429 --> 00:17:36.898
  • We get to understand that.
  • 00:17:36.898 --> 00:17:38.066
  • Now, paul talks about this in romans,
  • 00:17:38.066 --> 00:17:42.036
  • In romans chapter two,
  • 00:17:42.036 --> 00:17:43.471
  • And he makes a statement in romans chapter two,
  • 00:17:43.471 --> 00:17:46.207
  • And he's taught, in romans chapter one,
  • 00:17:47.075 --> 00:17:48.710
  • He's saying, "gentile people," right?
  • 00:17:48.710 --> 00:17:52.547
  • Gentile people or worldly people,
  • 00:17:52.547 --> 00:17:56.217
  • Non-church people, ungodly people.
  • 00:17:56.217 --> 00:17:59.821
  • They need righteousness.
  • 00:18:00.321 --> 00:18:03.625
  • And the reason they need it
  • 00:18:04.225 --> 00:18:05.426
  • Is they're caught up in philosophy,
  • 00:18:05.426 --> 00:18:06.728
  • Professing themselves to be wise.
  • 00:18:06.728 --> 00:18:09.164
  • They became fools.
  • 00:18:09.164 --> 00:18:11.132
  • Idolatry.
  • 00:18:11.432 --> 00:18:12.734
  • They changed the image of the incorruptible god
  • 00:18:12.734 --> 00:18:15.370
  • To an image like four footed beasts
  • 00:18:15.370 --> 00:18:18.072
  • And corruptible things and lust.
  • 00:18:18.072 --> 00:18:19.574
  • They burned in their lust one toward another
  • 00:18:19.574 --> 00:18:23.611
  • And all kinds of ungodliness.
  • 00:18:23.611 --> 00:18:25.146
  • They're just good sinners.
  • 00:18:25.146 --> 00:18:27.749
  • Now, paul makes this statement in galatians chapter two.
  • 00:18:28.850 --> 00:18:31.786
  • I wanna read it to you again, because it's really amazing
  • 00:18:31.786 --> 00:18:35.056
  • When he says this in galatians chapter 2, verse 15.
  • 00:18:35.056 --> 00:18:37.992
  • He said, "we who are jews by nature
  • 00:18:37.992 --> 00:18:40.228
  • And not sinners of the gentiles."
  • 00:18:40.228 --> 00:18:42.964
  • You know what he was really saying?
  • 00:18:42.964 --> 00:18:45.166
  • This is how religious people think.
  • 00:18:45.166 --> 00:18:47.569
  • We're not sinners like them.
  • 00:18:48.169 --> 00:18:50.672
  • ♪ i am better than you are
  • 00:18:51.272 --> 00:18:53.541
  • ♪ i am better than you
  • 00:18:53.541 --> 00:18:55.510
  • ♪ i don't cuss and i don't drink and i don't ♪
  • 00:18:55.510 --> 00:18:58.179
  • ♪ i am better than you are
  • 00:18:58.179 --> 00:19:00.348
  • ♪ i don't smoke and i don't
  • 00:19:00.348 --> 00:19:02.750
  • It's not about you anyway, right?
  • 00:19:02.750 --> 00:19:08.022
  • That's how religious people get.
  • 00:19:08.656 --> 00:19:11.059
  • But he says gentile, he says, "we're jews by nature,
  • 00:19:11.059 --> 00:19:13.995
  • Not sinners of the gentile."
  • 00:19:13.995 --> 00:19:14.963
  • Well, did you know jews?
  • 00:19:14.963 --> 00:19:16.164
  • Unless they believe on jesus,
  • 00:19:16.164 --> 00:19:18.233
  • They're sinners just like gentiles.
  • 00:19:18.233 --> 00:19:20.568
  • And if i'm reading my bible correct,
  • 00:19:20.568 --> 00:19:22.403
  • Jews have to get saved the same way gentiles get saved
  • 00:19:22.403 --> 00:19:25.540
  • By faith in jesus.
  • 00:19:25.540 --> 00:19:27.175
  • And i think i'm reading it right, okay?
  • 00:19:27.175 --> 00:19:30.612
  • But he's talking to religious people
  • 00:19:31.379 --> 00:19:32.914
  • And he says, "this is how you think.
  • 00:19:32.914 --> 00:19:35.183
  • But he goes on in romans chapter two
  • 00:19:35.183 --> 00:19:36.818
  • And he says, "listen, jewish people, religious people,
  • 00:19:36.818 --> 00:19:42.156
  • Church going people, they need grace, too.
  • 00:19:43.057 --> 00:19:46.194
  • They need righteousness that comes by faith in jesus."
  • 00:19:46.194 --> 00:19:50.465
  • And he says this in romans 2, verse 21,
  • 00:19:50.465 --> 00:19:52.834
  • "you therefore teach that another should
  • 00:19:52.834 --> 00:19:55.937
  • Do you teach yourself?
  • 00:19:55.937 --> 00:19:57.338
  • You that preach a man should not steal, do you steal?
  • 00:19:57.338 --> 00:19:59.941
  • You that say a man should not commit adultery,
  • 00:19:59.941 --> 00:20:02.510
  • Do you commit adultery?
  • 00:20:02.510 --> 00:20:04.279
  • You that hate idols, do you commit sacrilege?
  • 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:08.283
  • You that make your boast in the law
  • 00:20:08.283 --> 00:20:10.218
  • Through breaking the law, you dishonor god."
  • 00:20:10.218 --> 00:20:12.820
  • Now, we've all broken god's law.
  • 00:20:12.820 --> 00:20:15.290
  • It's just a matter of how much.
  • 00:20:15.923 --> 00:20:18.526
  • And james chapter 2, verse 10 says,
  • 00:20:19.327 --> 00:20:21.195
  • "if you offend the law in one point,
  • 00:20:21.195 --> 00:20:25.066
  • You're guilty of it all."
  • 00:20:25.633 --> 00:20:28.369
  • The law wasn't made to save you.
  • 00:20:28.369 --> 00:20:29.704
  • The law was made to show you that you're a sinner
  • 00:20:29.704 --> 00:20:31.873
  • And you need salvation.
  • 00:20:31.873 --> 00:20:33.775
  • The law was made to take your eyes off yourself
  • 00:20:34.709 --> 00:20:38.146
  • And put your eyes on jesus and trust him.
  • 00:20:38.146 --> 00:20:40.381
  • It tells us in galatians 3
  • 00:20:40.381 --> 00:20:42.116
  • That the law was our school master to bring us to christ.
  • 00:20:42.116 --> 00:20:46.020
  • But he said for the, listen to what he says in verse 24,
  • 00:20:47.155 --> 00:20:49.457
  • "the name of god is blasphemed among the gentiles
  • 00:20:49.457 --> 00:20:52.060
  • Through you as it's written for,
  • 00:20:52.060 --> 00:20:54.162
  • Your circumcision barely profits if you keep the law.
  • 00:20:54.162 --> 00:20:57.732
  • But if you're a breaker of the law,
  • 00:20:57.732 --> 00:20:59.167
  • Your circumcision is made uncircumcision."
  • 00:20:59.167 --> 00:21:02.570
  • And he really gets to the heart of the matter in verse 28.
  • 00:21:02.570 --> 00:21:05.506
  • In verse 29, he says, "for he is not a jew
  • 00:21:05.506 --> 00:21:08.476
  • Who is one outwardly, neither is the circumcision,
  • 00:21:08.476 --> 00:21:12.680
  • Which is outward in the flesh,
  • 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:14.115
  • But he is a jew who is won inwardly.
  • 00:21:14.115 --> 00:21:16.451
  • And the circumcision is that of the heart in the spirit
  • 00:21:16.451 --> 00:21:18.986
  • And not in the letter whose praise is not of men
  • 00:21:18.986 --> 00:21:22.824
  • But of god."
  • 00:21:22.824 --> 00:21:24.992
  • In other words, it's not the outward realm that matters.
  • 00:21:26.127 --> 00:21:28.363
  • What's what matters is the spiritual realm.
  • 00:21:28.363 --> 00:21:32.767
  • Amen?
  • 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:34.502
  • And what happens if you get born again is your spirit
  • 00:21:34.502 --> 00:21:36.871
  • Is completely born again.
  • 00:21:36.871 --> 00:21:38.239
  • If you die today, you're not gonna go 30% to heaven
  • 00:21:38.239 --> 00:21:41.676
  • And 70% to hell.
  • 00:21:41.676 --> 00:21:47.749
  • You're not gonna go 90% to heaven and 10% to hell.
  • 00:21:48.783 --> 00:21:51.819
  • If you die today, you're gonna go
  • 00:21:51.819 --> 00:21:54.956
  • To shield the waiting place of the dead, the current hell.
  • 00:21:54.956 --> 00:22:00.027
  • Right?
  • 00:22:00.261 --> 00:22:01.629
  • To the last resurrection.
  • 00:22:01.629 --> 00:22:03.965
  • The resurrection of the unjust,
  • 00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:06.734
  • And death and hell are gonna give up the dead in it.
  • 00:22:07.802 --> 00:22:09.537
  • And they're all gonna be judged
  • 00:22:09.537 --> 00:22:11.038
  • At the great white throne judgment of god for their sins.
  • 00:22:11.038 --> 00:22:13.474
  • And everybody there is gonna be casted
  • 00:22:13.474 --> 00:22:15.476
  • Into the lake of fire.
  • 00:22:15.476 --> 00:22:17.044
  • This is the second death.
  • 00:22:17.044 --> 00:22:19.313
  • Now, i'm not gonna get into all the eschatology,
  • 00:22:19.313 --> 00:22:21.416
  • But i'd like to, but i can't, 'cause i don't have time.
  • 00:22:21.416 --> 00:22:24.919
  • Okay?
  • 00:22:25.153 --> 00:22:26.487
  • But if you die and you go to heaven today,
  • 00:22:26.487 --> 00:22:27.922
  • You're not going to heaven because of what you did.
  • 00:22:27.922 --> 00:22:30.625
  • You're going to heaven because of who you believed.
  • 00:22:30.625 --> 00:22:33.961
  • You believe jesus.
  • 00:22:33.961 --> 00:22:34.962
  • And when you believe jesus,
  • 00:22:34.962 --> 00:22:36.998
  • Your sin was placed on his account, right?
  • 00:22:36.998 --> 00:22:40.435
  • His righteousness was placed on your account.
  • 00:22:40.435 --> 00:22:43.738
  • 2 corinthians 5:21.
  • 00:22:43.738 --> 00:22:45.173
  • God made him who knew no sin to become sin
  • 00:22:45.173 --> 00:22:48.376
  • Or a sin offering for us that we might be made,
  • 00:22:48.376 --> 00:22:51.312
  • Not something we did,
  • 00:22:51.312 --> 00:22:52.814
  • That we might be made the righteousness of god in him.
  • 00:22:52.814 --> 00:22:57.518
  • So grace will move you, number one, from works to faith.
  • 00:22:58.619 --> 00:23:03.925
  • Grace will move you from condemnation to justification.
  • 00:23:04.992 --> 00:23:11.165
  • You know, romans 8:1 says this,
  • 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:13.267
  • "there is therefore now no condemnation
  • 00:23:13.267 --> 00:23:15.636
  • To those who are in christ jesus."
  • 00:23:15.636 --> 00:23:18.473
  • The rest of the verse says, "to those who walk,
  • 00:23:18.473 --> 00:23:20.374
  • Not after the flesh, but after the spirit."
  • 00:23:20.374 --> 00:23:23.110
  • Did you know there are two kinds of flesh.
  • 00:23:23.110 --> 00:23:25.746
  • There's worldly, right?
  • 00:23:26.247 --> 00:23:29.650
  • Flesh, getting drunk, committing adultery, right?
  • 00:23:29.650 --> 00:23:34.755
  • Robbing, stealing, cussing, living like the devil.
  • 00:23:35.756 --> 00:23:38.793
  • Whatever you wanna say, that's worldly flesh.
  • 00:23:39.727 --> 00:23:41.629
  • There's also usda choice flesh.
  • 00:23:41.629 --> 00:23:45.933
  • Thinking you're better than everybody else.
  • 00:23:46.834 --> 00:23:49.170
  • Jesus talked about it in matthew's gospel.
  • 00:23:49.170 --> 00:23:52.306
  • He said, "you strain at a knack and swallow a camel.
  • 00:23:52.306 --> 00:23:57.645
  • You pick at a splinter in somebody else's eye
  • 00:23:58.579 --> 00:24:01.449
  • And you got a log in your own."
  • 00:24:01.449 --> 00:24:04.151
  • He's talking to religious people, right?
  • 00:24:04.986 --> 00:24:08.756
  • In fact, jesus kind of hung out with sinners.
  • 00:24:08.756 --> 00:24:11.092
  • He got criticized for it.
  • 00:24:11.092 --> 00:24:12.960
  • Sinners loved him.
  • 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:14.295
  • You know why sinners love jesus?
  • 00:24:14.295 --> 00:24:15.963
  • Because he loved them.
  • 00:24:15.963 --> 00:24:18.232
  • Religious people.
  • 00:24:18.666 --> 00:24:19.934
  • They didn't like him too well, you know why?
  • 00:24:19.934 --> 00:24:21.302
  • 'cause he didn't like religion too much.
  • 00:24:21.302 --> 00:24:23.938
  • Don't get too religious on me, okay?
  • 00:24:24.739 --> 00:24:27.909
  • All right, usually,
  • 00:24:28.376 --> 00:24:29.777
  • Because when you're pointing your finger at somebody,
  • 00:24:29.777 --> 00:24:31.078
  • You got three pointing back at you, right?
  • 00:24:31.078 --> 00:24:34.749
  • So be careful about how judgemental you get,
  • 00:24:34.749 --> 00:24:38.085
  • Because it might come back to bite you.
  • 00:24:38.085 --> 00:24:43.291
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:24:43.624 --> 00:24:45.159
  • So grace will move you from condemnation.
  • 00:24:45.159 --> 00:24:47.161
  • There is no condemnation,
  • 00:24:47.161 --> 00:24:49.030
  • Judgment against those who are in christ jesus.
  • 00:24:49.030 --> 00:24:52.600
  • Friends, we've been sharing how grace moves us,
  • 00:24:53.601 --> 00:24:57.805
