  • Music
  • 00:00:01.084 --> 00:00:12.762
  • Pastor matt hagee: you need
  • 00:00:16.132 --> 00:00:16.733
  • Pastor matt hagee: you need to know that you were
  • 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:18.168
  • To know that you were created to overcome.
  • 00:00:18.234 --> 00:00:22.372
  • Created to overcome. you were not born to lose.
  • 00:00:22.439 --> 00:00:26.276
  • You were not born to lose. god did not breathe the breath
  • 00:00:26.342 --> 00:00:27.811
  • God did not breathe the breath of life in you so that you could
  • 00:00:27.877 --> 00:00:29.579
  • Of life in you so that you could be overwhelmed and walked
  • 00:00:29.646 --> 00:00:31.381
  • Be overwhelmed and walked upon in this world.
  • 00:00:31.448 --> 00:00:33.183
  • Upon in this world. he gave you the life that
  • 00:00:33.249 --> 00:00:35.318
  • He gave you the life that you have so that you
  • 00:00:35.385 --> 00:00:36.619
  • You have so that you could live victoriously.
  • 00:00:36.686 --> 00:00:41.024
  • Could live victoriously. the bible tells us
  • 00:00:41.091 --> 00:00:41.825
  • The bible tells us in genesis 1:27 that,
  • 00:00:41.891 --> 00:00:43.626
  • In genesis 1:27 that, "god created you
  • 00:00:43.693 --> 00:00:45.361
  • "god created you in his own image."
  • 00:00:45.428 --> 00:00:49.599
  • In his own image." he is a mighty god.
  • 00:00:49.666 --> 00:00:51.968
  • He is a mighty god. he is a god who conquers.
  • 00:00:52.035 --> 00:00:53.369
  • He is a god who conquers. he conquered death,
  • 00:00:53.436 --> 00:00:54.437
  • He conquered death, hell, and the grave when jesus
  • 00:00:54.504 --> 00:00:56.072
  • Hell, and the grave when jesus rose on the third day.
  • 00:00:56.139 --> 00:00:57.807
  • Rose on the third day. that god is the god
  • 00:00:57.874 --> 00:00:59.142
  • That god is the god who created you,
  • 00:00:59.209 --> 00:01:00.243
  • Who created you, and he ordained you
  • 00:01:00.310 --> 00:01:01.678
  • And he ordained you to be the light of the world
  • 00:01:01.744 --> 00:01:03.346
  • To be the light of the world in a time of darkness,
  • 00:01:03.413 --> 00:01:04.647
  • In a time of darkness, that you would live
  • 00:01:04.714 --> 00:01:05.615
  • That you would live a life where you are overcoming
  • 00:01:05.682 --> 00:01:07.851
  • A life where you are overcoming and not being overwhelmed.
  • 00:01:07.917 --> 00:01:10.887
  • And not being overwhelmed. you read the bible,
  • 00:01:10.954 --> 00:01:11.721
  • You read the bible, and it says that jesus christ
  • 00:01:11.788 --> 00:01:13.289
  • And it says that jesus christ triumphed over powers
  • 00:01:13.356 --> 00:01:14.491
  • Triumphed over powers and principalities when
  • 00:01:14.557 --> 00:01:15.825
  • And principalities when he made a public spectacle
  • 00:01:15.892 --> 00:01:17.360
  • He made a public spectacle of them at calvary.
  • 00:01:17.427 --> 00:01:18.962
  • Of them at calvary. he told the church that he would
  • 00:01:19.028 --> 00:01:20.697
  • He told the church that he would give us the keys to the kingdom,
  • 00:01:20.763 --> 00:01:23.233
  • Give us the keys to the kingdom, and that what we bound
  • 00:01:23.299 --> 00:01:24.467
  • And that what we bound would be bound,
  • 00:01:24.534 --> 00:01:25.235
  • Would be bound, and what we loosed
  • 00:01:25.301 --> 00:01:26.136
  • And what we loosed would be loosed,
  • 00:01:26.202 --> 00:01:26.903
  • Would be loosed, and what we asked
  • 00:01:26.970 --> 00:01:28.071
  • And what we asked would be done,
  • 00:01:28.138 --> 00:01:28.872
  • Would be done, and the gates of hell would not
  • 00:01:28.938 --> 00:01:30.607
  • And the gates of hell would not prevail against us.
  • 00:01:30.673 --> 00:01:32.475
  • Prevail against us. those kinds of promises tell
  • 00:01:32.542 --> 00:01:33.943
  • Those kinds of promises tell us that we were created
  • 00:01:34.010 --> 00:01:35.578
  • Us that we were created to overcome.
  • 00:01:35.645 --> 00:01:38.882
  • To overcome. so if we're created to overcome,
  • 00:01:38.948 --> 00:01:40.550
  • So if we're created to overcome, how come we're not?
  • 00:01:40.617 --> 00:01:44.420
  • How come we're not? what is it that's overcoming us?
  • 00:01:44.487 --> 00:01:48.024
  • What is it that's overcoming us? and the first problem
  • 00:01:48.091 --> 00:01:48.858
  • And the first problem that we have to face is that
  • 00:01:48.925 --> 00:01:50.260
  • That we have to face is that those who are overcomers,
  • 00:01:50.326 --> 00:01:52.162
  • Those who are overcomers, they don't live
  • 00:01:52.228 --> 00:01:53.163
  • They don't live from the outside in,
  • 00:01:53.229 --> 00:01:54.597
  • From the outside in, they live from the inside out.
  • 00:01:54.664 --> 00:01:58.768
  • They live from the inside out. this is what the bible says,
  • 00:01:58.835 --> 00:01:59.903
  • This is what the bible says, "greater is he who is in you
  • 00:01:59.969 --> 00:02:03.573
  • "greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."
  • 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.543
  • Than he who is in the world." the problem is not
  • 00:02:06.609 --> 00:02:07.477
  • The problem is not what we were created for,
  • 00:02:07.544 --> 00:02:09.712
  • What we were created for, the problem is
  • 00:02:09.779 --> 00:02:10.747
  • The problem is how we're living.
  • 00:02:10.813 --> 00:02:13.416
  • How we're living. when you live
  • 00:02:13.483 --> 00:02:14.317
  • When you live from the outside in,
  • 00:02:14.384 --> 00:02:15.785
  • From the outside in, you'll always come up
  • 00:02:15.852 --> 00:02:16.819
  • You'll always come up with a long list of reasons
  • 00:02:16.886 --> 00:02:18.288
  • With a long list of reasons why you can't overcome.
  • 00:02:18.354 --> 00:02:21.157
  • Why you can't overcome. and this is why paul asks us
  • 00:02:21.224 --> 00:02:25.495
  • And this is why paul asks us to not be conformed
  • 00:02:25.562 --> 00:02:26.729
  • To not be conformed to this world.
  • 00:02:26.796 --> 00:02:28.865
  • To this world. he says,
  • 00:02:28.932 --> 00:02:29.399
  • He says, "do not be conformed
  • 00:02:29.465 --> 00:02:30.733
  • "do not be conformed to this world."
  • 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:31.634
  • To this world." the world wants
  • 00:02:31.701 --> 00:02:32.869
  • The world wants to overwhelm you,
  • 00:02:32.936 --> 00:02:33.836
  • To overwhelm you, the world wants to defeat you,
  • 00:02:33.903 --> 00:02:35.605
  • The world wants to defeat you, the world wants to cause you
  • 00:02:35.672 --> 00:02:38.608
  • The world wants to cause you to live in all kinds
  • 00:02:38.675 --> 00:02:40.143
  • To live in all kinds of gloom and despair.
  • 00:02:40.210 --> 00:02:41.511
  • Of gloom and despair. when's the last time you got
  • 00:02:41.578 --> 00:02:43.079
  • When's the last time you got a happy message from the world?
  • 00:02:43.146 --> 00:02:46.482
  • A happy message from the world? this world wants
  • 00:02:46.549 --> 00:02:47.450
  • This world wants to overwhelm you,
  • 00:02:47.517 --> 00:02:48.284
  • To overwhelm you, and it wants you
  • 00:02:48.351 --> 00:02:49.052
  • And it wants you to be a victim.
  • 00:02:49.118 --> 00:02:52.722
  • To be a victim. but when you read
  • 00:02:52.789 --> 00:02:53.356
  • But when you read the word of god,
  • 00:02:53.423 --> 00:02:54.057
  • The word of god, it says,
  • 00:02:54.123 --> 00:02:54.524
  • It says, "don't let the outside
  • 00:02:54.591 --> 00:02:55.825
  • "don't let the outside affect the inside.
  • 00:02:55.892 --> 00:02:56.993
  • Affect the inside. let the man on the inside
  • 00:02:57.060 --> 00:02:58.561
  • Let the man on the inside overcome all of the things
  • 00:02:58.628 --> 00:03:00.196
  • Overcome all of the things in this world.
  • 00:03:00.263 --> 00:03:00.964
  • In this world. greater is he who is in you
  • 00:03:01.030 --> 00:03:04.200
  • Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."
  • 00:03:04.267 --> 00:03:05.468
  • Than he who is in the world." 1 john 5:4 says,
  • 00:03:05.535 --> 00:03:07.170
  • 1 john 5:4 says, "whatever is born of god,
  • 00:03:07.237 --> 00:03:08.705
  • "whatever is born of god, it overcomes the world,
  • 00:03:08.771 --> 00:03:10.540
  • It overcomes the world, and this is the victory
  • 00:03:10.607 --> 00:03:12.008
  • And this is the victory that has overcome the world,
  • 00:03:12.075 --> 00:03:13.443
  • That has overcome the world, our faith."
  • 00:03:13.509 --> 00:03:16.179
  • Our faith." my faith in a god who cannot
  • 00:03:16.246 --> 00:03:18.348
  • My faith in a god who cannot fail has given me victory
  • 00:03:18.414 --> 00:03:20.483
  • Fail has given me victory over the world,
  • 00:03:20.550 --> 00:03:21.451
  • Over the world, over the flesh,
  • 00:03:21.517 --> 00:03:22.285
  • Over the flesh, and over the devil.
  • 00:03:22.352 --> 00:03:24.621
  • And over the devil. so, what is this world that paul
  • 00:03:24.687 --> 00:03:26.256
  • So, what is this world that paul talks about that we should
  • 00:03:26.322 --> 00:03:27.457
  • Talks about that we should not be conformed by?
  • 00:03:27.523 --> 00:03:29.559
  • Not be conformed by? he's not talking
  • 00:03:29.626 --> 00:03:30.226
  • He's not talking about the cosmos,
  • 00:03:30.293 --> 00:03:32.562
  • About the cosmos, he's not talking about
  • 00:03:32.629 --> 00:03:33.429
  • He's not talking about the planet that is orbiting
  • 00:03:33.496 --> 00:03:35.164
  • The planet that is orbiting the sun.
  • 00:03:35.231 --> 00:03:36.766
  • The sun. when he's talking about
  • 00:03:36.833 --> 00:03:37.533
  • When he's talking about the world,
  • 00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:38.368
  • The world, the phrase "world" translates
  • 00:03:38.434 --> 00:03:40.870
  • The phrase "world" translates the spirit of the age.
  • 00:03:40.937 --> 00:03:43.773
  • The spirit of the age. the mindset of men.
  • 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.876
  • The mindset of men. the attitude that people
  • 00:03:46.943 --> 00:03:48.444
  • The attitude that people have towards life.
  • 00:03:48.511 --> 00:03:50.913
  • Have towards life. what is the spirit
  • 00:03:50.980 --> 00:03:51.914
  • What is the spirit of the age that we face?
  • 00:03:51.981 --> 00:03:53.883
  • Of the age that we face? first and foremost,
  • 00:03:53.950 --> 00:03:54.651
  • First and foremost, the spirit of this age
  • 00:03:54.717 --> 00:03:55.752
  • The spirit of this age acts as if god doesn't exist.
  • 00:03:55.818 --> 00:03:58.888
  • Acts as if god doesn't exist. it actually gets offended when
  • 00:03:58.955 --> 00:04:00.623
  • It actually gets offended when you declare that he does.
  • 00:04:00.690 --> 00:04:04.127
  • You declare that he does. the spirit of this age
  • 00:04:04.193 --> 00:04:04.994
  • The spirit of this age is saturated with selfishness.
  • 00:04:05.061 --> 00:04:09.799
  • Is saturated with selfishness. it loves to play
  • 00:04:09.866 --> 00:04:10.867
  • It loves to play the victim card.
  • 00:04:10.933 --> 00:04:13.236
  • The victim card. "my problems are not my fault,
  • 00:04:13.303 --> 00:04:14.771
  • "my problems are not my fault, somebody gave them to me."
  • 00:04:14.837 --> 00:04:17.740
  • Somebody gave them to me." the spirit of this age
  • 00:04:17.807 --> 00:04:18.741
  • The spirit of this age scowls at the idea of service.
  • 00:04:18.808 --> 00:04:22.945
  • Scowls at the idea of service. "what?
  • 00:04:23.012 --> 00:04:24.580
  • "what? help?
  • 00:04:24.647 --> 00:04:26.516
  • Help? no, i'm here to be served."
  • 00:04:26.582 --> 00:04:29.619
  • No, i'm here to be served." the spirit of this age,
  • 00:04:29.686 --> 00:04:30.386
  • The spirit of this age, according to the word of god,
  • 00:04:30.453 --> 00:04:31.487
  • According to the word of god, has a form of godliness,
  • 00:04:31.554 --> 00:04:33.222
  • Has a form of godliness, but denies the power thereof.
  • 00:04:33.289 --> 00:04:37.126
  • But denies the power thereof. and when you conform your mind
  • 00:04:37.193 --> 00:04:38.661
  • And when you conform your mind to the spirit of the age,
  • 00:04:38.728 --> 00:04:39.829
  • To the spirit of the age, you are literally declaring
  • 00:04:39.896 --> 00:04:41.264
  • You are literally declaring war with god.
  • 00:04:41.331 --> 00:04:43.800
  • War with god. that's what romans 8:7 says.
  • 00:04:43.866 --> 00:04:45.968
  • That's what romans 8:7 says. it says, "the carnal mind
  • 00:04:46.035 --> 00:04:47.470
  • It says, "the carnal mind is at enmity with god."
  • 00:04:47.537 --> 00:04:49.572
  • Is at enmity with god." that word enmity literally
  • 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.140
  • That word enmity literally means at war.
  • 00:04:51.207 --> 00:04:52.575
  • Means at war. it is not a subtle conflict,
  • 00:04:52.642 --> 00:04:54.510
  • It is not a subtle conflict, it is an opposition to god.
  • 00:04:54.577 --> 00:04:57.046
  • It is an opposition to god. it cannot be subject
  • 00:04:57.113 --> 00:04:58.114
  • It cannot be subject to the law of god,
  • 00:04:58.181 --> 00:04:59.182
  • To the law of god, and it cannot work for god.
  • 00:04:59.248 --> 00:05:02.251
  • And it cannot work for god. james 4:4 tells us that,
  • 00:05:02.318 --> 00:05:04.554
  • James 4:4 tells us that, "the friend
  • 00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:05.154
  • "the friend of the world,"
  • 00:05:05.221 --> 00:05:05.922
  • Of the world," the friend who has
  • 00:05:05.988 --> 00:05:07.023
  • The friend who has the spirit of the age,
  • 00:05:07.090 --> 00:05:09.092
  • The spirit of the age, "the friend of the world
  • 00:05:09.158 --> 00:05:10.259
  • "the friend of the world is the enemy of god."
  • 00:05:10.326 --> 00:05:13.896
  • Is the enemy of god." some people sing
  • 00:05:13.963 --> 00:05:14.630
  • Some people sing that song,
  • 00:05:14.697 --> 00:05:15.298
  • That song, "i'm a friend of god."
  • 00:05:15.365 --> 00:05:17.300
  • "i'm a friend of god." you can sing a lie just
  • 00:05:17.367 --> 00:05:18.601
  • You can sing a lie just as well as you can tell one.
  • 00:05:18.668 --> 00:05:21.771
  • As well as you can tell one. because if you think
  • 00:05:21.838 --> 00:05:22.305
  • Because if you think like the world,
  • 00:05:22.372 --> 00:05:22.972
  • Like the world, god doesn't look down
  • 00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:23.773
  • God doesn't look down and go,
  • 00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:24.240
  • And go, "that's my friend."
  • 00:05:24.307 --> 00:05:24.807
  • "that's my friend." god looks at you and says,
  • 00:05:24.874 --> 00:05:25.975
  • God looks at you and says, "we're enemies.
  • 00:05:26.042 --> 00:05:28.244
  • "we're enemies. you have a mindset
  • 00:05:28.311 --> 00:05:29.612
  • You have a mindset that is trying to cancel me."
  • 00:05:29.679 --> 00:05:32.715
  • That is trying to cancel me." so, when it comes
  • 00:05:32.782 --> 00:05:33.416
  • So, when it comes to being an overcomer,
  • 00:05:33.483 --> 00:05:34.550
  • To being an overcomer, the thing that you have
  • 00:05:34.617 --> 00:05:35.251
  • The thing that you have to understand more than anything
  • 00:05:35.318 --> 00:05:36.853
  • To understand more than anything is the main priority
  • 00:05:36.919 --> 00:05:38.454
  • Is the main priority is for you to not overcome
  • 00:05:38.521 --> 00:05:40.256
  • Is for you to not overcome the challenge on the outside,
  • 00:05:40.323 --> 00:05:41.791
  • The challenge on the outside, but for you to overcome
  • 00:05:41.858 --> 00:05:42.825
  • But for you to overcome the challenge on the inside
  • 00:05:42.892 --> 00:05:44.127
  • The challenge on the inside meaning that the thing
  • 00:05:44.193 --> 00:05:45.061
  • Meaning that the thing you have to overcome
  • 00:05:45.128 --> 00:05:46.496
  • You have to overcome is yourself.
  • 00:05:46.562 --> 00:05:49.766
  • Is yourself. you say,
  • 00:05:49.832 --> 00:05:50.199
  • You say, "but you don't understand."
  • 00:05:50.266 --> 00:05:52.935
  • "but you don't understand." no, you don't understand.
  • 00:05:53.002 --> 00:05:54.103
  • No, you don't understand. the problem's not
  • 00:05:54.170 --> 00:05:54.737
  • The problem's not on the outside,
  • 00:05:54.804 --> 00:05:55.805
  • On the outside, the problem's on the inside.
  • 00:05:55.872 --> 00:05:58.641
  • The problem's on the inside. greater is he who is, where?
  • 00:05:58.708 --> 00:06:02.145
  • Greater is he who is, where? in you.
  • 00:06:02.211 --> 00:06:04.480
  • In you. romans 8:31 says,
  • 00:06:04.547 --> 00:06:05.715
  • Romans 8:31 says, "if god is for us,
  • 00:06:05.782 --> 00:06:08.518
  • "if god is for us, who can be against us?"
  • 00:06:08.584 --> 00:06:10.219
  • Who can be against us?" verse 37,
  • 00:06:10.286 --> 00:06:10.953
  • Verse 37, "in all of these things,
  • 00:06:11.020 --> 00:06:12.355
  • "in all of these things, we are more than
  • 00:06:12.422 --> 00:06:13.689
  • We are more than conquerors through christ."
  • 00:06:13.756 --> 00:06:16.526
  • Conquerors through christ." when you're not living
  • 00:06:16.592 --> 00:06:17.293
  • When you're not living as a conqueror,
  • 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:18.194
  • As a conqueror, it's not that god can't
  • 00:06:18.261 --> 00:06:19.695
  • It's not that god can't keep his promises,
  • 00:06:19.762 --> 00:06:20.730
  • Keep his promises, it's not that christ
  • 00:06:20.797 --> 00:06:21.898
  • It's not that christ can't overcome,
  • 00:06:21.964 --> 00:06:23.199
  • Can't overcome, it's not that the holy spirit
  • 00:06:23.266 --> 00:06:24.367
  • It's not that the holy spirit can't empower.
  • 00:06:24.434 --> 00:06:25.568
  • Can't empower. when you're not living
  • 00:06:25.635 --> 00:06:26.536
  • When you're not living as a conqueror,
  • 00:06:26.602 --> 00:06:27.670
  • As a conqueror, it's because you are having
  • 00:06:27.737 --> 00:06:29.372
  • It's because you are having the mindset of the world
  • 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:30.873
  • The mindset of the world and not giving god
  • 00:06:30.940 --> 00:06:31.974
  • And not giving god the opportunity to empower you.
  • 00:06:32.041 --> 00:06:36.546
  • The opportunity to empower you. so, how do we do this?
  • 00:06:36.612 --> 00:06:38.748
  • So, how do we do this? paul tells us,
  • 00:06:38.815 --> 00:06:41.050
  • Paul tells us, "offer yourself
  • 00:06:41.117 --> 00:06:42.585
  • "offer yourself as a living sacrifice."
  • 00:06:42.652 --> 00:06:45.655
  • As a living sacrifice." romans 12:1 gives us
  • 00:06:45.721 --> 00:06:48.758
  • Romans 12:1 gives us the answer to romans 12:2.
  • 00:06:48.825 --> 00:06:52.295
  • The answer to romans 12:2. and paul begins.
  • 00:06:52.361 --> 00:06:53.029
  • And paul begins. he says,
  • 00:06:53.095 --> 00:06:53.663
  • He says, "i beseech you,
  • 00:06:53.729 --> 00:06:55.565
  • "i beseech you, therefore brethren."
  • 00:06:55.631 --> 00:06:57.166
  • Therefore brethren." now, that word beseech,
  • 00:06:57.233 --> 00:06:59.502
  • Now, that word beseech, it's an old english term.
  • 00:06:59.569 --> 00:07:00.670
  • It's an old english term. but what he's doing
  • 00:07:00.736 --> 00:07:01.270
  • But what he's doing is he's saying,
  • 00:07:01.337 --> 00:07:02.171
  • Is he's saying, "i'm begging you."
  • 00:07:02.238 --> 00:07:04.740
  • "i'm begging you." he's saying,
  • 00:07:04.807 --> 00:07:05.107
  • He's saying, "listen to me, church,
  • 00:07:05.174 --> 00:07:06.242
  • "listen to me, church, i'm pleading with you."
  • 00:07:06.309 --> 00:07:09.545
  • I'm pleading with you." he says,
  • 00:07:09.612 --> 00:07:09.912
  • He says, "i'm urging you
  • 00:07:09.979 --> 00:07:10.980
  • "i'm urging you in the strongest way possible,
  • 00:07:11.047 --> 00:07:12.882
  • In the strongest way possible, for your own sake,
  • 00:07:12.949 --> 00:07:14.817
  • For your own sake, live this way."
  • 00:07:14.884 --> 00:07:17.320
  • Live this way." one of the problems that
  • 00:07:17.386 --> 00:07:18.087
  • One of the problems that we have in our churches
  • 00:07:18.154 --> 00:07:19.655
  • We have in our churches today is that preachers
  • 00:07:19.722 --> 00:07:21.424
  • Today is that preachers have filled the pulpit
  • 00:07:21.491 --> 00:07:22.758
  • Have filled the pulpit with pleasantries,
  • 00:07:22.825 --> 00:07:23.626
  • With pleasantries, but they're no longer
  • 00:07:23.693 --> 00:07:24.160
  • But they're no longer pleading with their audience.
  • 00:07:24.227 --> 00:07:28.264
  • Pleading with their audience. and today,
  • 00:07:28.331 --> 00:07:28.764
  • And today, i'm pleading with you.
  • 00:07:28.831 --> 00:07:30.967
  • I'm pleading with you. don't leave the same
  • 00:07:31.033 --> 00:07:31.934
  • Don't leave the same way you came in.
  • 00:07:32.001 --> 00:07:34.237
  • Way you came in. i'm urging you
  • 00:07:34.303 --> 00:07:35.204
  • I'm urging you as much as possible,
  • 00:07:35.271 --> 00:07:36.672
  • As much as possible, do not allow yourself
  • 00:07:36.739 --> 00:07:38.508
  • Do not allow yourself to hear this message
  • 00:07:38.574 --> 00:07:39.742
  • To hear this message and refuse to change.
  • 00:07:39.809 --> 00:07:42.912
  • And refuse to change. if he died for you,

  • If he died for you, live for him.
  • 00:07:46.949 --> 00:07:48.985
  • Live for him. if he redeemed you,

  • If he redeemed you, live for him.
  • 00:07:51.854 --> 00:07:54.891
  • Live for him. offer your body as a living
  • 00:07:54.957 --> 00:07:57.927
  • Offer your body as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable

  • Unto god which is your reasonable service."
  • 00:08:03.432 --> 00:08:07.203
  • Is your reasonable service." the problem is when you
  • 00:08:07.270 --> 00:08:09.438
  • The problem is when you have a conformed mind

  • Have a conformed mind that thinks like the world,

  • That thinks like the world, you say,

  • You say, "that's not a reasonable thing,

  • "that's not a reasonable thing, it's an unreasonable thing."
  • 00:08:15.378 --> 00:08:18.514
  • It's an unreasonable thing." a conformed mind saturated
  • 00:08:18.581 --> 00:08:20.016
  • A conformed mind saturated in selfishness says,
  • 00:08:20.082 --> 00:08:21.250
  • In selfishness says, "what do you mean,

  • 00:12:01.337 --> 00:12:02.438

  • We're discussing being a living sacrifice.
  • 00:12:10.613 --> 00:12:13.849
  • A living sacrifice. whenever it came time
  • 00:12:13.916 --> 00:12:14.950
  • Whenever it came time to sacrifice in
  • 00:12:15.017 --> 00:12:15.718
  • To sacrifice in the old testament,
  • 00:12:15.785 --> 00:12:16.986
  • The old testament, it was very clear that you
  • 00:12:17.052 --> 00:12:18.354
  • It was very clear that you couldn't just bring anything,
  • 00:12:18.420 --> 00:12:20.089
  • Couldn't just bring anything, you had to bring
  • 00:12:20.156 --> 00:12:21.223
  • You had to bring the right thing.
  • 00:12:21.290 --> 00:12:23.392
  • The right thing. go read leviticus and it says
  • 00:12:23.459 --> 00:12:24.794
  • Go read leviticus and it says that it had to be a male,
  • 00:12:24.860 --> 00:12:25.928
  • That it had to be a male, and it had
  • 00:12:25.995 --> 00:12:26.595
  • And it had to be a spotless male,
  • 00:12:26.662 --> 00:12:27.897
  • To be a spotless male, and it had to be given freely.
  • 00:12:27.963 --> 00:12:30.866
  • And it had to be given freely. it wasn't a tax that you paid
  • 00:12:30.933 --> 00:12:32.868
  • It wasn't a tax that you paid god in exchange for service,
  • 00:12:32.935 --> 00:12:34.603
  • God in exchange for service, it was an act of worship
  • 00:12:34.670 --> 00:12:36.005
  • It was an act of worship that you gave god
  • 00:12:36.071 --> 00:12:37.173
  • That you gave god because you loved him,
  • 00:12:37.239 --> 00:12:38.707
  • Because you loved him, and you wanted his power
  • 00:12:38.774 --> 00:12:40.176
  • And you wanted his power and his presence in your life.
  • 00:12:40.242 --> 00:12:44.213
  • And his presence in your life. you couldn't just
  • 00:12:44.280 --> 00:12:44.747
  • You couldn't just bring anything,
  • 00:12:44.814 --> 00:12:45.648
  • Bring anything, you had to bring
  • 00:12:45.714 --> 00:12:46.448
  • You had to bring the right thing.
  • 00:12:46.515 --> 00:12:49.351
  • The right thing. and this truth
  • 00:12:49.418 --> 00:12:50.286
  • And this truth still exists today.
  • 00:12:50.352 --> 00:12:51.787
  • Still exists today. you can't just
  • 00:12:51.854 --> 00:12:52.822
  • You can't just bring anything to god.
  • 00:12:52.888 --> 00:12:54.657
  • Bring anything to god. you have to bring
  • 00:12:54.723 --> 00:12:55.291
  • You have to bring the right thing.
  • 00:12:55.357 --> 00:12:56.025
  • The right thing. and a lot of people don't have
  • 00:12:56.091 --> 00:12:57.393
  • And a lot of people don't have what they want from god because
  • 00:12:57.459 --> 00:12:59.061
  • What they want from god because they're sacrificing in rebellion
  • 00:12:59.128 --> 00:13:01.096
  • They're sacrificing in rebellion and not obedience.
  • 00:13:01.163 --> 00:13:05.067
  • And not obedience. genesis 4:3-7,
  • 00:13:05.134 --> 00:13:08.204
  • Genesis 4:3-7, you see two sacrifices
  • 00:13:08.270 --> 00:13:09.572
  • You see two sacrifices that are offered.
  • 00:13:09.638 --> 00:13:10.339
  • That are offered. one comes from cain.
  • 00:13:10.406 --> 00:13:11.874
  • One comes from cain. it's the fruit of the ground.
  • 00:13:11.941 --> 00:13:13.075
  • It's the fruit of the ground. the things that he grew
  • 00:13:13.142 --> 00:13:14.043
  • The things that he grew in the earth.
  • 00:13:14.109 --> 00:13:15.010
  • In the earth. the other comes from abel,
  • 00:13:15.077 --> 00:13:16.245
  • The other comes from abel, it's the first of his flock.
  • 00:13:16.312 --> 00:13:17.646
  • It's the first of his flock. god looks at abel's sacrifice,
  • 00:13:17.713 --> 00:13:19.815
  • God looks at abel's sacrifice, and he accepts it.
  • 00:13:19.882 --> 00:13:20.850
  • And he accepts it. why?
  • 00:13:20.916 --> 00:13:21.283
  • Why? because it was
  • 00:13:21.350 --> 00:13:21.817
  • Because it was given in obedience.
  • 00:13:21.884 --> 00:13:22.952
  • Given in obedience. and he looks at cain's sacrifice
  • 00:13:23.018 --> 00:13:24.954
  • And he looks at cain's sacrifice and he rejects it.
  • 00:13:25.020 --> 00:13:25.988
  • And he rejects it. why?
  • 00:13:26.055 --> 00:13:26.455
  • Why? because it was
  • 00:13:26.522 --> 00:13:26.922
  • Because it was given in rebellion.
  • 00:13:26.989 --> 00:13:29.825
  • Given in rebellion. you don't get to give god
  • 00:13:29.892 --> 00:13:30.860
  • You don't get to give god what you want,
  • 00:13:30.926 --> 00:13:31.527
  • What you want, you've got to give
  • 00:13:31.594 --> 00:13:32.161
  • You've got to give god what he wants.
  • 00:13:32.228 --> 00:13:35.164
  • God what he wants. and cain and god have a
  • 00:13:35.231 --> 00:13:36.165
  • And cain and god have a conversation in which god
  • 00:13:36.232 --> 00:13:37.700
  • Conversation in which god asks cain a question.
  • 00:13:37.766 --> 00:13:39.668
  • Asks cain a question. he said, "why are you angry?
  • 00:13:39.735 --> 00:13:42.771
  • He said, "why are you angry? you do know that if you do well,
  • 00:13:42.838 --> 00:13:45.140
  • You do know that if you do well, you will be accepted?"
  • 00:13:45.207 --> 00:13:47.710
  • You will be accepted?" god has a very common
  • 00:13:47.776 --> 00:13:48.577
  • God has a very common sense question.
  • 00:13:48.644 --> 00:13:49.578
  • Sense question. "cain, if you do what i ask,
  • 00:13:49.645 --> 00:13:51.747
  • "cain, if you do what i ask, it'll be accepted,
  • 00:13:51.814 --> 00:13:54.250
  • It'll be accepted, but if you do what you want,
  • 00:13:54.316 --> 00:13:55.517
  • But if you do what you want, it will be rejected."
  • 00:13:55.584 --> 00:13:58.053
  • It will be rejected." you need to know that there's
  • 00:13:58.120 --> 00:13:59.021
  • You need to know that there's only two ways to give to god:
  • 00:13:59.088 --> 00:14:00.789
  • Only two ways to give to god: in rebellion or obedience.
  • 00:14:00.856 --> 00:14:02.591
  • In rebellion or obedience. and every day you do not give
  • 00:14:02.658 --> 00:14:04.093
  • And every day you do not give him what he wants,
  • 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:05.227
  • Him what he wants, you're in rebellion.
  • 00:14:05.294 --> 00:14:08.197
  • You're in rebellion. romans 12:1-2,
  • 00:14:08.264 --> 00:14:09.798
  • Romans 12:1-2, the offering that god wants
  • 00:14:09.865 --> 00:14:11.166
  • The offering that god wants on the altar is you.
  • 00:14:11.233 --> 00:14:16.505
  • On the altar is you. brothers, i urge you,
  • 00:14:16.572 --> 00:14:18.774

  • Living sacrifice. it's your reasonable service.

  • It's your reasonable service. considering what he's
  • 00:14:29.051 --> 00:14:29.952
  • Considering what he's delivered us from,
  • 00:14:30.019 --> 00:14:30.920
  • Delivered us from, considering what
  • 00:14:30.986 --> 00:14:31.654
  • Considering what he's brought us through,
  • 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.188
  • He's brought us through, considering how
  • 00:14:33.255 --> 00:14:33.989
  • Considering how he has set us free,
  • 00:14:34.056 --> 00:14:35.591
  • He has set us free, is that not the least
  • 00:14:35.658 --> 00:14:37.359
  • Is that not the least that we could do?
  • 00:14:37.426 --> 00:14:41.196
  • That we could do? in order to do it,
  • 00:14:41.263 --> 00:14:41.964
  • In order to do it, you have to give god
  • 00:14:42.031 --> 00:14:42.765
  • You have to give god the opportunity
  • 00:14:42.831 --> 00:14:43.599
  • The opportunity to transform your thinking.
  • 00:14:43.666 --> 00:14:45.067

  • 00:14:56.745 --> 00:14:57.379
  • And some people wanna make this a mystical thing.
  • 00:14:57.446 --> 00:14:58.514
  • This a mystical thing. they want it to be superstitious
  • 00:14:58.580 --> 00:15:00.015
  • They want it to be superstitious or act like it's some ethereal,

  • 00:20:56.438 --> 00:21:00.575
  • And perfect will of god." paul is literally saying
  • 00:21:00.642 --> 00:21:01.743
  • Paul is literally saying that if you'll live
  • 00:21:01.810 --> 00:21:02.944
  • That if you'll live your life this way,
  • 00:21:03.011 --> 00:21:04.846
  • Your life this way, just like the experiments
  • 00:21:04.913 --> 00:21:06.048
  • Just like the experiments that you used to do
  • 00:21:06.114 --> 00:21:07.015
  • That you used to do in high school science class,
  • 00:21:07.082 --> 00:21:08.417
  • In high school science class, you're looking for proof.
  • 00:21:08.483 --> 00:21:11.887
  • You're looking for proof. if you'll live as a sacrifice,
  • 00:21:11.953 --> 00:21:14.189
  • If you'll live as a sacrifice, and you'll be transformed
  • 00:21:14.256 --> 00:21:15.457
  • And you'll be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
  • 00:21:15.524 --> 00:21:16.558
  • By the renewing of your mind, god is going to prove himself
  • 00:21:16.625 --> 00:21:18.860
  • God is going to prove himself to you in ways that you
  • 00:21:18.927 --> 00:21:20.395
  • To you in ways that you couldn't even imagine.
  • 00:21:20.462 --> 00:21:23.632
  • Couldn't even imagine. he's going to prove
  • 00:21:23.699 --> 00:21:25.100
  • He's going to prove that he's faithful because
  • 00:21:25.167 --> 00:21:26.968
  • That he's faithful because 2 timothy says that
  • 00:21:27.035 --> 00:21:28.337
  • 2 timothy says that he remains faithful.
  • 00:21:28.403 --> 00:21:29.705
  • He remains faithful. he cannot deny himself.
  • 00:21:29.771 --> 00:21:31.039
  • He cannot deny himself. he's going to prove that
  • 00:21:31.106 --> 00:21:32.441
  • He's going to prove that he's a provider because
  • 00:21:32.507 --> 00:21:33.442
  • He's a provider because the psalmist said,
  • 00:21:33.508 --> 00:21:34.309
  • The psalmist said, "i've never seen
  • 00:21:34.376 --> 00:21:34.943
  • "i've never seen the righteous forsaken nor
  • 00:21:35.010 --> 00:21:36.478
  • The righteous forsaken nor their seed begging for bread."
  • 00:21:36.545 --> 00:21:38.146
  • Their seed begging for bread." he's going to prove that
  • 00:21:38.213 --> 00:21:39.414
  • He's going to prove that he cannot fail,
  • 00:21:39.481 --> 00:21:40.415
  • He cannot fail, because jesus said,
  • 00:21:40.482 --> 00:21:41.750
  • Because jesus said, "with man,
  • 00:21:41.817 --> 00:21:42.751
  • "with man, this is impossible,
  • 00:21:42.818 --> 00:21:43.685
  • This is impossible, but with god,
  • 00:21:43.752 --> 00:21:44.686
  • But with god, all things are possible."
  • 00:21:44.753 --> 00:21:46.588
  • All things are possible." when you live your
  • 00:21:46.655 --> 00:21:47.556
  • When you live your life according to god's
  • 00:21:47.622 --> 00:21:48.890
  • Life according to god's plan and not your own plan,
  • 00:21:48.957 --> 00:21:50.892
  • Plan and not your own plan, you'll find out what
  • 00:21:50.959 --> 00:21:52.027
  • You'll find out what david meant when he said,
  • 00:21:52.094 --> 00:21:53.462
  • David meant when he said, "oh taste and see that
  • 00:21:53.528 --> 00:21:55.330
  • "oh taste and see that the lord is good."
  • 00:21:55.397 --> 00:21:56.565
  • The lord is good." what he's saying
  • 00:21:56.631 --> 00:21:57.499
  • What he's saying is the longer you serve him,
  • 00:21:57.566 --> 00:21:59.201
  • Is the longer you serve him, the better he gets
  • 00:21:59.267 --> 00:22:00.369
  • The better he gets because he just
  • 00:22:00.435 --> 00:22:01.269
  • Because he just keeps proving himself,
  • 00:22:01.336 --> 00:22:02.604
  • Keeps proving himself, and proving himself,
  • 00:22:02.671 --> 00:22:03.672
  • And proving himself, and proving himself,

  • [applause]
  • 00:22:06.842 --> 00:22:09.411
  • So, i ask you this,
  • 00:22:09.778 --> 00:22:11.813
  • So, i ask you this, how many of you need some
  • 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:12.781
  • How many of you need some proof in your life today?
  • 00:22:12.848 --> 00:22:16.184
  • Proof in your life today? you need god's power to move.
  • 00:22:16.251 --> 00:22:19.621
  • You need god's power to move. you need his hand to make a way.
  • 00:22:19.688 --> 00:22:23.759
  • You need his hand to make a way. the only way you're going
  • 00:22:23.825 --> 00:22:24.459
  • The only way you're going to get the proof you're
  • 00:22:24.526 --> 00:22:25.460
  • To get the proof you're looking for is if you put
  • 00:22:25.527 --> 00:22:28.296
  • Looking for is if you put on the altar what he wants,
  • 00:22:28.363 --> 00:22:31.233
  • On the altar what he wants, which is you.
  • 00:22:31.299 --> 00:22:34.136
  • Which is you. when you lose your mind
  • 00:22:34.202 --> 00:22:37.606
  • When you lose your mind and you say,
  • 00:22:37.672 --> 00:22:38.073
  • And you say, "god, because of all that
  • 00:22:38.140 --> 00:22:39.007
  • "god, because of all that you've done for me
  • 00:22:39.074 --> 00:22:39.841
  • You've done for me through jesus,
  • 00:22:39.908 --> 00:22:41.676
  • Through jesus, i'm going to lay my life
  • 00:22:41.743 --> 00:22:42.844

  • Because that's just the kind of god that he is.
  • 00:22:56.958 --> 00:22:59.194
  • Of god that he is. would you stand in
  • 00:22:59.261 --> 00:22:59.828
