  • Pastor matt hagee: you need
  • 00:00:15.142 --> 00:00:15.743
  • Pastor matt hagee: you need to know that you were
  • 00:00:15.810 --> 00:00:17.178
  • To know that you were created to overcome.
  • 00:00:17.244 --> 00:00:21.382
  • Created to overcome. you were not born to lose.
  • 00:00:21.449 --> 00:00:25.286
  • You were not born to lose. god did not breathe the breath
  • 00:00:25.352 --> 00:00:26.821
  • God did not breathe the breath of life in you so that you could
  • 00:00:26.887 --> 00:00:28.589
  • Of life in you so that you could be overwhelmed and walked
  • 00:00:28.656 --> 00:00:30.391
  • Be overwhelmed and walked upon in this world.
  • 00:00:30.458 --> 00:00:32.193
  • Upon in this world. he gave you the life that
  • 00:00:32.259 --> 00:00:34.328
  • He gave you the life that you have so that you
  • 00:00:34.395 --> 00:00:35.629
  • You have so that you could live victoriously.
  • 00:00:35.696 --> 00:00:40.034
  • Could live victoriously. the bible tells us
  • 00:00:40.101 --> 00:00:40.835
  • The bible tells us in genesis 1:27 that,
  • 00:00:40.901 --> 00:00:42.636
  • In genesis 1:27 that, "god created you
  • 00:00:42.703 --> 00:00:44.371
  • "god created you in his own image."
  • 00:00:44.438 --> 00:00:48.609
  • In his own image." he is a mighty god.
  • 00:00:48.676 --> 00:00:50.978
  • He is a mighty god. he is a god who conquers.
  • 00:00:51.045 --> 00:00:52.379
  • He is a god who conquers. he conquered death,
  • 00:00:52.446 --> 00:00:53.447
  • He conquered death, hell, and the grave when jesus
  • 00:00:53.514 --> 00:00:55.082
  • Hell, and the grave when jesus rose on the third day.
  • 00:00:55.149 --> 00:00:56.817
  • Rose on the third day. that god is the god
  • 00:00:56.884 --> 00:00:58.152
  • That god is the god who created you,
  • 00:00:58.219 --> 00:00:59.253
  • Who created you, and he ordained you
  • 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:00.688
  • And he ordained you to be the light of the world
  • 00:01:00.754 --> 00:01:02.356
  • To be the light of the world in a time of darkness,
  • 00:01:02.423 --> 00:01:03.657
  • In a time of darkness, that you would live
  • 00:01:03.724 --> 00:01:04.625
  • That you would live a life where you are overcoming
  • 00:01:04.692 --> 00:01:06.861
  • A life where you are overcoming and not being overwhelmed.
  • 00:01:06.927 --> 00:01:09.897
  • And not being overwhelmed. you read the bible,
  • 00:01:09.964 --> 00:01:10.731
  • You read the bible, and it says that jesus christ
  • 00:01:10.798 --> 00:01:12.299
  • And it says that jesus christ triumphed over powers
  • 00:01:12.366 --> 00:01:13.501
  • Triumphed over powers and principalities when
  • 00:01:13.567 --> 00:01:14.835
  • And principalities when he made a public spectacle
  • 00:01:14.902 --> 00:01:16.370
  • He made a public spectacle of them at calvary.
  • 00:01:16.437 --> 00:01:17.972
  • Of them at calvary. he told the church that he would
  • 00:01:18.038 --> 00:01:19.707
  • He told the church that he would give us the keys to the kingdom,
  • 00:01:19.773 --> 00:01:22.243
  • Give us the keys to the kingdom, and that what we bound
  • 00:01:22.309 --> 00:01:23.477
  • And that what we bound would be bound,
  • 00:01:23.544 --> 00:01:24.245
  • Would be bound, and what we loosed
  • 00:01:24.311 --> 00:01:25.146
  • And what we loosed would be loosed,
  • 00:01:25.212 --> 00:01:25.913
  • Would be loosed, and what we asked
  • 00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:27.081
  • And what we asked would be done,
  • 00:01:27.148 --> 00:01:27.882
  • Would be done, and the gates of hell would not
  • 00:01:27.948 --> 00:01:29.617
  • And the gates of hell would not prevail against us.
  • 00:01:29.683 --> 00:01:31.485
  • Prevail against us. those kinds of promises tell
  • 00:01:31.552 --> 00:01:32.953
  • Those kinds of promises tell us that we were created
  • 00:01:33.020 --> 00:01:34.588
  • Us that we were created to overcome.
  • 00:01:34.655 --> 00:01:37.892
  • To overcome. so if we're created to overcome,
  • 00:01:37.958 --> 00:01:39.560
  • So if we're created to overcome, how come we're not?
  • 00:01:39.627 --> 00:01:43.430
  • How come we're not? what is it that's overcoming us?
  • 00:01:43.497 --> 00:01:47.034
  • What is it that's overcoming us? and the first problem
  • 00:01:47.101 --> 00:01:47.868
  • And the first problem that we have to face is that
  • 00:01:47.935 --> 00:01:49.270
  • That we have to face is that those who are overcomers,
  • 00:01:49.336 --> 00:01:51.172
  • Those who are overcomers, they don't live
  • 00:01:51.238 --> 00:01:52.173
  • They don't live from the outside in,
  • 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:53.607
  • From the outside in, they live from the inside out.
  • 00:01:53.674 --> 00:01:57.778
  • They live from the inside out. this is what the bible says,
  • 00:01:57.845 --> 00:01:58.913
  • This is what the bible says, "greater is he who is in you
  • 00:01:58.979 --> 00:02:02.583
  • "greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."
  • 00:02:02.650 --> 00:02:05.553
  • Than he who is in the world." the problem is not
  • 00:02:05.619 --> 00:02:06.487
  • The problem is not what we were created for,
  • 00:02:06.554 --> 00:02:08.722
  • What we were created for, the problem is
  • 00:02:08.789 --> 00:02:09.757
  • The problem is how we're living.
  • 00:02:09.823 --> 00:02:12.426
  • How we're living. when you live
  • 00:02:12.493 --> 00:02:13.327
  • When you live from the outside in,
  • 00:02:13.394 --> 00:02:14.795
  • From the outside in, you'll always come up
  • 00:02:14.862 --> 00:02:15.829
  • You'll always come up with a long list of reasons
  • 00:02:15.896 --> 00:02:17.298
  • With a long list of reasons why you can't overcome.
  • 00:02:17.364 --> 00:02:20.167
  • Why you can't overcome. and this is why paul asks us
  • 00:02:20.234 --> 00:02:24.505
  • And this is why paul asks us to not be conformed
  • 00:02:24.572 --> 00:02:25.739
  • To not be conformed to this world.
  • 00:02:25.806 --> 00:02:27.875
  • To this world. he says,
  • 00:02:27.942 --> 00:02:28.409
  • He says, "do not be conformed
  • 00:02:28.475 --> 00:02:29.743
  • "do not be conformed to this world."
  • 00:02:29.810 --> 00:02:30.644
  • To this world." the world wants
  • 00:02:30.711 --> 00:02:31.879
  • The world wants to overwhelm you,
  • 00:02:31.946 --> 00:02:32.846
  • To overwhelm you, the world wants to defeat you,
  • 00:02:32.913 --> 00:02:34.615
  • The world wants to defeat you, the world wants to cause you
  • 00:02:34.682 --> 00:02:37.618
  • The world wants to cause you to live in all kinds
  • 00:02:37.685 --> 00:02:39.153
  • To live in all kinds of gloom and despair.
  • 00:02:39.220 --> 00:02:40.521
  • Of gloom and despair. when's the last time you got
  • 00:02:40.588 --> 00:02:42.089
  • When's the last time you got a happy message from the world?
  • 00:02:42.156 --> 00:02:45.492
  • A happy message from the world? this world wants
  • 00:02:45.559 --> 00:02:46.460
  • This world wants to overwhelm you,
  • 00:02:46.527 --> 00:02:47.294
  • To overwhelm you, and it wants you
  • 00:02:47.361 --> 00:02:48.062
  • And it wants you to be a victim.
  • 00:02:48.128 --> 00:02:51.732
  • To be a victim. but when you read
  • 00:02:51.799 --> 00:02:52.366
  • But when you read the word of god,
  • 00:02:52.433 --> 00:02:53.067
  • The word of god, it says,
  • 00:02:53.133 --> 00:02:53.534
  • It says, "don't let the outside
  • 00:02:53.601 --> 00:02:54.835
  • "don't let the outside affect the inside.
  • 00:02:54.902 --> 00:02:56.003
  • Affect the inside. let the man on the inside
  • 00:02:56.070 --> 00:02:57.571
  • Let the man on the inside overcome all of the things
  • 00:02:57.638 --> 00:02:59.206
  • Overcome all of the things in this world.
  • 00:02:59.273 --> 00:02:59.974
  • In this world. greater is he who is in you
  • 00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:03.210
  • Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."
  • 00:03:03.277 --> 00:03:04.478
  • Than he who is in the world." 1 john 5:4 says,
  • 00:03:04.545 --> 00:03:06.180
  • 1 john 5:4 says, "whatever is born of god,
  • 00:03:06.247 --> 00:03:07.715
  • "whatever is born of god, it overcomes the world,
  • 00:03:07.781 --> 00:03:09.550
  • It overcomes the world, and this is the victory
  • 00:03:09.617 --> 00:03:11.018
  • And this is the victory that has overcome the world,
  • 00:03:11.085 --> 00:03:12.453
  • That has overcome the world, our faith."
  • 00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:15.189
  • Our faith." my faith in a god who cannot
  • 00:03:15.256 --> 00:03:17.358
  • My faith in a god who cannot fail has given me victory
  • 00:03:17.424 --> 00:03:19.493
  • Fail has given me victory over the world,
  • 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:20.461
  • Over the world, over the flesh,
  • 00:03:20.527 --> 00:03:21.295
  • Over the flesh, and over the devil.
  • 00:03:21.362 --> 00:03:23.631
  • And over the devil. so, what is this world that paul
  • 00:03:23.697 --> 00:03:25.266
  • So, what is this world that paul talks about that we should
  • 00:03:25.332 --> 00:03:26.467
  • Talks about that we should not be conformed by?
  • 00:03:26.533 --> 00:03:28.569
  • Not be conformed by? he's not talking
  • 00:03:28.636 --> 00:03:29.236
  • He's not talking about the cosmos,
  • 00:03:29.303 --> 00:03:31.572
  • About the cosmos, he's not talking about
  • 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:32.439
  • He's not talking about the planet that is orbiting
  • 00:03:32.506 --> 00:03:34.174
  • The planet that is orbiting the sun.
  • 00:03:34.241 --> 00:03:35.776
  • The sun. when he's talking about
  • 00:03:35.843 --> 00:03:36.543
  • When he's talking about the world,
  • 00:03:36.610 --> 00:03:37.378
  • The world, the phrase "world" translates
  • 00:03:37.444 --> 00:03:39.880
  • The phrase "world" translates the spirit of the age.
  • 00:03:39.947 --> 00:03:42.783
  • The spirit of the age. the mindset of men.
  • 00:03:42.850 --> 00:03:45.886
  • The mindset of men. the attitude that people
  • 00:03:45.953 --> 00:03:47.454
  • The attitude that people have towards life.
  • 00:03:47.521 --> 00:03:49.923
  • Have towards life. what is the spirit
  • 00:03:49.990 --> 00:03:50.924
  • What is the spirit of the age that we face?
  • 00:03:50.991 --> 00:03:52.893
  • Of the age that we face? first and foremost,
  • 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:53.661
  • First and foremost, the spirit of this age
  • 00:03:53.727 --> 00:03:54.762
  • The spirit of this age acts as if god doesn't exist.
  • 00:03:54.828 --> 00:03:57.898
  • Acts as if god doesn't exist. it actually gets offended when
  • 00:03:57.965 --> 00:03:59.633
  • It actually gets offended when you declare that he does.
  • 00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:03.137
  • You declare that he does. the spirit of this age
  • 00:04:03.203 --> 00:04:04.004
  • The spirit of this age is saturated with selfishness.
  • 00:04:04.071 --> 00:04:08.809
  • Is saturated with selfishness. it loves to play
  • 00:04:08.876 --> 00:04:09.877
  • It loves to play the victim card.
  • 00:04:09.943 --> 00:04:12.246
  • The victim card. "my problems are not my fault,
  • 00:04:12.313 --> 00:04:13.781
  • "my problems are not my fault, somebody gave them to me."
  • 00:04:13.847 --> 00:04:16.750
  • Somebody gave them to me." the spirit of this age
  • 00:04:16.817 --> 00:04:17.751
  • The spirit of this age scowls at the idea of service.
  • 00:04:17.818 --> 00:04:21.955
  • Scowls at the idea of service. "what?
  • 00:04:22.022 --> 00:04:23.590
  • "what? help?
  • 00:04:23.657 --> 00:04:25.526
  • Help? no, i'm here to be served."
  • 00:04:25.592 --> 00:04:28.629
  • No, i'm here to be served." the spirit of this age,
  • 00:04:28.696 --> 00:04:29.396
  • The spirit of this age, according to the word of god,
  • 00:04:29.463 --> 00:04:30.497
  • According to the word of god, has a form of godliness,
  • 00:04:30.564 --> 00:04:32.232
  • Has a form of godliness, but denies the power thereof.
  • 00:04:32.299 --> 00:04:36.136
  • But denies the power thereof. and when you conform your mind
  • 00:04:36.203 --> 00:04:37.671
  • And when you conform your mind to the spirit of the age,
  • 00:04:37.738 --> 00:04:38.839
  • To the spirit of the age, you are literally declaring
  • 00:04:38.906 --> 00:04:40.274
  • You are literally declaring war with god.
  • 00:04:40.341 --> 00:04:42.810
  • War with god. that's what romans 8:7 says.
  • 00:04:42.876 --> 00:04:44.978
  • That's what romans 8:7 says. it says, "the carnal mind
  • 00:04:45.045 --> 00:04:46.480
  • It says, "the carnal mind is at enmity with god."
  • 00:04:46.547 --> 00:04:48.582
  • Is at enmity with god." that word enmity literally
  • 00:04:48.649 --> 00:04:50.150
  • That word enmity literally means at war.
  • 00:04:50.217 --> 00:04:51.585
  • Means at war. it is not a subtle conflict,
  • 00:04:51.652 --> 00:04:53.520
  • It is not a subtle conflict, it is an opposition to god.
  • 00:04:53.587 --> 00:04:56.056
  • It is an opposition to god. it cannot be subject
  • 00:04:56.123 --> 00:04:57.124
  • It cannot be subject to the law of god,
  • 00:04:57.191 --> 00:04:58.192
  • To the law of god, and it cannot work for god.
  • 00:04:58.258 --> 00:05:01.261
  • And it cannot work for god. james 4:4 tells us that,
  • 00:05:01.328 --> 00:05:03.564
  • James 4:4 tells us that, "the friend
  • 00:05:03.630 --> 00:05:04.164
  • "the friend of the world,"
  • 00:05:04.231 --> 00:05:04.932
  • Of the world," the friend who has
  • 00:05:04.998 --> 00:05:06.033
  • The friend who has the spirit of the age,
  • 00:05:06.100 --> 00:05:08.102
  • The spirit of the age, "the friend of the world
  • 00:05:08.168 --> 00:05:09.269
  • "the friend of the world is the enemy of god."
  • 00:05:09.336 --> 00:05:12.906
  • Is the enemy of god." some people sing
  • 00:05:12.973 --> 00:05:13.640
  • Some people sing that song,
  • 00:05:13.707 --> 00:05:14.308
  • That song, "i'm a friend of god."
  • 00:05:14.375 --> 00:05:16.310
  • "i'm a friend of god." you can sing a lie just
  • 00:05:16.377 --> 00:05:17.611
  • You can sing a lie just as well as you can tell one.
  • 00:05:17.678 --> 00:05:20.781
  • As well as you can tell one. because if you think
  • 00:05:20.848 --> 00:05:21.315
  • Because if you think like the world,
  • 00:05:21.382 --> 00:05:21.982
  • Like the world, god doesn't look down
  • 00:05:22.049 --> 00:05:22.783
  • God doesn't look down and go,
  • 00:05:22.850 --> 00:05:23.250
  • And go, "that's my friend."
  • 00:05:23.317 --> 00:05:23.817
  • "that's my friend." god looks at you and says,
  • 00:05:23.884 --> 00:05:24.985
  • God looks at you and says, "we're enemies.

  • "we're enemies. you have a mindset
  • 00:05:27.321 --> 00:05:28.622
  • You have a mindset that is trying to cancel me."
  • 00:05:28.689 --> 00:05:31.725
  • That is trying to cancel me." so, when it comes
  • 00:05:31.792 --> 00:05:32.426
  • So, when it comes to being an overcomer,
  • 00:05:32.493 --> 00:05:33.560
  • To being an overcomer, the thing that you have
  • 00:05:33.627 --> 00:05:34.261
  • The thing that you have to understand more than anything
  • 00:05:34.328 --> 00:05:35.863
  • To understand more than anything is the main priority
  • 00:05:35.929 --> 00:05:37.464
  • Is the main priority is for you to not overcome
  • 00:05:37.531 --> 00:05:39.266
  • Is for you to not overcome the challenge on the outside,
  • 00:05:39.333 --> 00:05:40.801
  • The challenge on the outside, but for you to overcome
  • 00:05:40.868 --> 00:05:41.835
  • But for you to overcome the challenge on the inside
  • 00:05:41.902 --> 00:05:43.137
  • The challenge on the inside meaning that the thing
  • 00:05:43.203 --> 00:05:44.071
  • Meaning that the thing you have to overcome
  • 00:05:44.138 --> 00:05:45.506
  • You have to overcome is yourself.
  • 00:05:45.572 --> 00:05:48.776
  • Is yourself. you say,
  • 00:05:48.842 --> 00:05:49.209
  • You say, "but you don't understand."
  • 00:05:49.276 --> 00:05:51.945
  • "but you don't understand." no, you don't understand.
  • 00:05:52.012 --> 00:05:53.113
  • No, you don't understand. the problem's not
  • 00:05:53.180 --> 00:05:53.747
  • The problem's not on the outside,
  • 00:05:53.814 --> 00:05:54.815
  • On the outside, the problem's on the inside.
  • 00:05:54.882 --> 00:05:57.651
  • The problem's on the inside. greater is he who is, where?
  • 00:05:57.718 --> 00:06:01.155
  • Greater is he who is, where? in you.
  • 00:06:01.221 --> 00:06:03.490
  • In you. romans 8:31 says,
  • 00:06:03.557 --> 00:06:04.725
  • Romans 8:31 says, "if god is for us,
  • 00:06:04.792 --> 00:06:07.528
  • "if god is for us, who can be against us?"
  • 00:06:07.594 --> 00:06:09.229
  • Who can be against us?" verse 37,
  • 00:06:09.296 --> 00:06:09.963
  • Verse 37, "in all of these things,
  • 00:06:10.030 --> 00:06:11.365
  • "in all of these things, we are more than
  • 00:06:11.432 --> 00:06:12.699
  • We are more than conquerors through christ."
  • 00:06:12.766 --> 00:06:15.536
  • Conquerors through christ." when you're not living
  • 00:06:15.602 --> 00:06:16.303
  • When you're not living as a conqueror,
  • 00:06:16.370 --> 00:06:17.204
  • As a conqueror, it's not that god can't
  • 00:06:17.271 --> 00:06:18.705
  • It's not that god can't keep his promises,
  • 00:06:18.772 --> 00:06:19.740
  • Keep his promises, it's not that christ
  • 00:06:19.807 --> 00:06:20.908
  • It's not that christ can't overcome,
  • 00:06:20.974 --> 00:06:22.209
  • Can't overcome, it's not that the holy spirit
  • 00:06:22.276 --> 00:06:23.377
  • It's not that the holy spirit can't empower.
  • 00:06:23.444 --> 00:06:24.578
  • Can't empower. when you're not living
  • 00:06:24.645 --> 00:06:25.546
  • When you're not living as a conqueror,
  • 00:06:25.612 --> 00:06:26.680
  • As a conqueror, it's because you are having
  • 00:06:26.747 --> 00:06:28.382
  • It's because you are having the mindset of the world
  • 00:06:28.449 --> 00:06:29.883
  • The mindset of the world and not giving god
  • 00:06:29.950 --> 00:06:30.984
  • And not giving god the opportunity to empower you.
  • 00:06:31.051 --> 00:06:35.556
  • The opportunity to empower you. so, how do we do this?
  • 00:06:35.622 --> 00:06:37.758
  • So, how do we do this? paul tells us,
  • 00:06:37.825 --> 00:06:40.060
  • Paul tells us, "offer yourself
  • 00:06:40.127 --> 00:06:41.595
  • "offer yourself as a living sacrifice."
  • 00:06:41.662 --> 00:06:44.665
  • As a living sacrifice." romans 12:1 gives us
  • 00:06:44.731 --> 00:06:47.768
  • Romans 12:1 gives us the answer to romans 12:2.
  • 00:06:47.835 --> 00:06:51.305
  • The answer to romans 12:2. and paul begins.
  • 00:06:51.371 --> 00:06:52.039
  • And paul begins. he says,
  • 00:06:52.105 --> 00:06:52.673
  • He says, "i beseech you,
  • 00:06:52.739 --> 00:06:54.575
  • "i beseech you, therefore brethren."
  • 00:06:54.641 --> 00:06:56.176
  • Therefore brethren." now, that word beseech,
  • 00:06:56.243 --> 00:06:58.512
  • Now, that word beseech, it's an old english term.
  • 00:06:58.579 --> 00:06:59.680
  • It's an old english term. but what he's doing
  • 00:06:59.746 --> 00:07:00.280
  • But what he's doing is he's saying,
  • 00:07:00.347 --> 00:07:01.181
  • Is he's saying, "i'm begging you."
  • 00:07:01.248 --> 00:07:03.750
  • "i'm begging you." he's saying,
  • 00:07:03.817 --> 00:07:04.117
  • He's saying, "listen to me, church,
  • 00:07:04.184 --> 00:07:05.252
  • "listen to me, church, i'm pleading with you."
  • 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.555
  • I'm pleading with you." he says,
  • 00:07:08.622 --> 00:07:08.922
  • He says, "i'm urging you
  • 00:07:08.989 --> 00:07:09.990
  • "i'm urging you in the strongest way possible,
  • 00:07:10.057 --> 00:07:11.892
  • In the strongest way possible, for your own sake,

  • For your own sake, live this way."
  • 00:07:13.894 --> 00:07:16.330
  • Live this way." one of the problems that
  • 00:07:16.396 --> 00:07:17.097
  • One of the problems that we have in our churches
  • 00:07:17.164 --> 00:07:18.665
  • We have in our churches today is that preachers
  • 00:07:18.732 --> 00:07:20.434
  • Today is that preachers have filled the pulpit
  • 00:07:20.501 --> 00:07:21.768
  • Have filled the pulpit with pleasantries,
  • 00:07:21.835 --> 00:07:22.636
  • With pleasantries, but they're no longer
  • 00:07:22.703 --> 00:07:23.170
  • But they're no longer pleading with their audience.
  • 00:07:23.237 --> 00:07:27.274
  • Pleading with their audience. and today,
  • 00:07:27.341 --> 00:07:27.774
  • And today, i'm pleading with you.
  • 00:07:27.841 --> 00:07:29.977
  • I'm pleading with you. don't leave the same
  • 00:07:30.043 --> 00:07:30.944
  • Don't leave the same way you came in.
  • 00:07:31.011 --> 00:07:33.247
  • Way you came in. i'm urging you
  • 00:07:33.313 --> 00:07:34.214
  • I'm urging you as much as possible,
  • 00:07:34.281 --> 00:07:35.682
  • As much as possible, do not allow yourself
  • 00:07:35.749 --> 00:07:37.518
  • Do not allow yourself to hear this message
  • 00:07:37.584 --> 00:07:38.752
  • To hear this message and refuse to change.

  • If he died for you, live for him.
  • 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:47.995
  • Live for him. if he redeemed you,

  • If he redeemed you, live for him.
  • 00:07:50.864 --> 00:07:53.901
  • Live for him. offer your body as a living
  • 00:07:53.967 --> 00:07:56.937

  • That thinks like the world, you say,

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

  • A conformed mind saturated in selfishness says,
  • 00:08:19.092 --> 00:08:20.260
  • In selfishness says, "what do you mean,

  • You make the decision to be a living sacrifice.
  • 00:11:56.810 --> 00:11:59.279
  • To be a living sacrifice. you see, in the old testament,
  • 00:11:59.346 --> 00:12:00.280
  • You see, in the old testament, a sacrifice was laid on
  • 00:12:00.347 --> 00:12:01.448
  • A sacrifice was laid on the altar and it was slain.
  • 00:12:01.515 --> 00:12:03.350
  • The altar and it was slain. i have an altar here that'll
  • 00:12:03.416 --> 00:12:06.086

  • Help us understand better what we're discussing being
  • 00:12:08.054 --> 00:12:09.556
  • We're discussing being a living sacrifice.
  • 00:12:09.623 --> 00:12:12.859
  • A living sacrifice. whenever it came time
  • 00:12:12.926 --> 00:12:13.960
  • Whenever it came time to sacrifice in
  • 00:12:14.027 --> 00:12:14.728
  • To sacrifice in the old testament,
  • 00:12:14.795 --> 00:12:15.996
  • The old testament, it was very clear that you
  • 00:12:16.062 --> 00:12:17.364
  • It was very clear that you couldn't just bring anything,
  • 00:12:17.430 --> 00:12:19.099
  • Couldn't just bring anything, you had to bring
  • 00:12:19.166 --> 00:12:20.233
  • You had to bring the right thing.
  • 00:12:20.300 --> 00:12:22.402
  • The right thing. go read leviticus and it says
  • 00:12:22.469 --> 00:12:23.804
  • Go read leviticus and it says that it had to be a male,
  • 00:12:23.870 --> 00:12:24.938
  • That it had to be a male, and it had
  • 00:12:25.005 --> 00:12:25.605
  • And it had to be a spotless male,
  • 00:12:25.672 --> 00:12:26.907
  • To be a spotless male, and it had to be given freely.
  • 00:12:26.973 --> 00:12:29.876
  • And it had to be given freely. it wasn't a tax that you paid
  • 00:12:29.943 --> 00:12:31.878
  • It wasn't a tax that you paid god in exchange for service,
  • 00:12:31.945 --> 00:12:33.613
  • God in exchange for service, it was an act of worship
  • 00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:35.015
  • It was an act of worship that you gave god
  • 00:12:35.081 --> 00:12:36.183
  • That you gave god because you loved him,
  • 00:12:36.249 --> 00:12:37.717
  • Because you loved him, and you wanted his power
  • 00:12:37.784 --> 00:12:39.186
  • And you wanted his power and his presence in your life.
  • 00:12:39.252 --> 00:12:43.223
  • And his presence in your life. you couldn't just
  • 00:12:43.290 --> 00:12:43.757
  • You couldn't just bring anything,
  • 00:12:43.824 --> 00:12:44.658
  • Bring anything, you had to bring
  • 00:12:44.724 --> 00:12:45.458
  • You had to bring the right thing.
  • 00:12:45.525 --> 00:12:48.361
  • The right thing. and this truth
  • 00:12:48.428 --> 00:12:49.296
  • And this truth still exists today.
  • 00:12:49.362 --> 00:12:50.797
  • Still exists today. you can't just
  • 00:12:50.864 --> 00:12:51.832
  • You can't just bring anything to god.
  • 00:12:51.898 --> 00:12:53.667
  • Bring anything to god. you have to bring
  • 00:12:53.733 --> 00:12:54.301
  • You have to bring the right thing.
  • 00:12:54.367 --> 00:12:55.035
  • The right thing. and a lot of people don't have
  • 00:12:55.101 --> 00:12:56.403
  • And a lot of people don't have what they want from god because
  • 00:12:56.469 --> 00:12:58.071
  • What they want from god because they're sacrificing in rebellion
  • 00:12:58.138 --> 00:13:00.106
  • They're sacrificing in rebellion and not obedience.
  • 00:13:00.173 --> 00:13:04.077
  • And not obedience. genesis 4:3-7,
  • 00:13:04.144 --> 00:13:07.214
  • Genesis 4:3-7, you see two sacrifices
  • 00:13:07.280 --> 00:13:08.582
  • You see two sacrifices that are offered.
  • 00:13:08.648 --> 00:13:09.349
  • That are offered. one comes from cain.
  • 00:13:09.416 --> 00:13:10.884
  • One comes from cain. it's the fruit of the ground.
  • 00:13:10.951 --> 00:13:12.085
  • It's the fruit of the ground. the things that he grew
  • 00:13:12.152 --> 00:13:13.053
  • The things that he grew in the earth.
  • 00:13:13.119 --> 00:13:14.020
  • In the earth. the other comes from abel,
  • 00:13:14.087 --> 00:13:15.255
  • The other comes from abel, it's the first of his flock.
  • 00:13:15.322 --> 00:13:16.656
  • It's the first of his flock. god looks at abel's sacrifice,
  • 00:13:16.723 --> 00:13:18.825
  • God looks at abel's sacrifice, and he accepts it.
  • 00:13:18.892 --> 00:13:19.860
  • And he accepts it. why?
  • 00:13:19.926 --> 00:13:20.293
  • Why? because it was
  • 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:20.827
  • Because it was given in obedience.
  • 00:13:20.894 --> 00:13:21.962
  • Given in obedience. and he looks at cain's sacrifice
  • 00:13:22.028 --> 00:13:23.964
  • And he looks at cain's sacrifice and he rejects it.
  • 00:13:24.030 --> 00:13:24.998
  • And he rejects it. why?
  • 00:13:25.065 --> 00:13:25.465
  • Why? because it was
  • 00:13:25.532 --> 00:13:25.932
  • Because it was given in rebellion.
  • 00:13:25.999 --> 00:13:28.835
  • Given in rebellion. you don't get to give god
  • 00:13:28.902 --> 00:13:29.870
  • You don't get to give god what you want,
  • 00:13:29.936 --> 00:13:30.537
  • What you want, you've got to give
  • 00:13:30.604 --> 00:13:31.171
  • You've got to give god what he wants.
  • 00:13:31.238 --> 00:13:34.174
  • God what he wants. and cain and god have a
  • 00:13:34.241 --> 00:13:35.175
  • And cain and god have a conversation in which god
  • 00:13:35.242 --> 00:13:36.710
  • Conversation in which god asks cain a question.
  • 00:13:36.776 --> 00:13:38.678
  • Asks cain a question. he said, "why are you angry?
  • 00:13:38.745 --> 00:13:41.781
  • He said, "why are you angry? you do know that if you do well,
  • 00:13:41.848 --> 00:13:44.150
  • You do know that if you do well, you will be accepted?"
  • 00:13:44.217 --> 00:13:46.720
  • You will be accepted?" god has a very common
  • 00:13:46.786 --> 00:13:47.587
  • God has a very common sense question.
  • 00:13:47.654 --> 00:13:48.588
  • Sense question. "cain, if you do what i ask,
  • 00:13:48.655 --> 00:13:50.757
  • "cain, if you do what i ask, it'll be accepted,
  • 00:13:50.824 --> 00:13:53.260
  • It'll be accepted, but if you do what you want,
  • 00:13:53.326 --> 00:13:54.527
  • But if you do what you want, it will be rejected."
  • 00:13:54.594 --> 00:13:57.063
  • It will be rejected." you need to know that there's
  • 00:13:57.130 --> 00:13:58.031
  • You need to know that there's only two ways to give to god:
  • 00:13:58.098 --> 00:13:59.799
  • Only two ways to give to god: in rebellion or obedience.
  • 00:13:59.866 --> 00:14:01.601
  • In rebellion or obedience. and every day you do not give
  • 00:14:01.668 --> 00:14:03.103
  • And every day you do not give him what he wants,
  • 00:14:03.169 --> 00:14:04.237
  • Him what he wants, you're in rebellion.
  • 00:14:04.304 --> 00:14:07.207
  • You're in rebellion. romans 12:1-2,
  • 00:14:07.274 --> 00:14:08.808
  • Romans 12:1-2, the offering that god wants
  • 00:14:08.875 --> 00:14:10.176
  • The offering that god wants on the altar is you.
  • 00:14:10.243 --> 00:14:15.515
  • On the altar is you. brothers, i urge you,
  • 00:14:15.582 --> 00:14:17.784
  • Brothers, i urge you, present yourself a
  • 00:14:17.851 --> 00:14:19.653
  • Present yourself a living sacrifice.
  • 00:14:19.719 --> 00:14:24.090
  • Living sacrifice. it's your reasonable service.
  • 00:14:24.157 --> 00:14:27.994
  • It's your reasonable service. considering what he's
  • 00:14:28.061 --> 00:14:28.962
  • Considering what he's delivered us from,
  • 00:14:29.029 --> 00:14:29.930
  • Delivered us from, considering what
  • 00:14:29.996 --> 00:14:30.664
  • Considering what he's brought us through,
  • 00:14:30.730 --> 00:14:32.198
  • He's brought us through, considering how
  • 00:14:32.265 --> 00:14:32.999
  • Considering how he has set us free,
  • 00:14:33.066 --> 00:14:34.601
  • He has set us free, is that not the least
  • 00:14:34.668 --> 00:14:36.369
  • Is that not the least that we could do?
  • 00:14:36.436 --> 00:14:40.206
  • That we could do? in order to do it,
  • 00:14:40.273 --> 00:14:40.974
  • In order to do it, you have to give god
  • 00:14:41.041 --> 00:14:41.775
  • You have to give god the opportunity
  • 00:14:41.841 --> 00:14:42.609
  • The opportunity to transform your thinking.
  • 00:14:42.676 --> 00:14:44.077
  • To transform your thinking. in 1 corinthians 2:16,
  • 00:14:44.144 --> 00:14:45.912
  • In 1 corinthians 2:16, it's called the mind of christ.
  • 00:14:45.979 --> 00:14:48.748
  • It's called the mind of christ. it says,
  • 00:14:48.815 --> 00:14:49.215
  • It says, "we have the mind of christ."
  • 00:14:49.282 --> 00:14:51.284
  • "we have the mind of christ." say that with me.
  • 00:14:51.351 --> 00:14:52.252
  • Say that with me. we have the mind of christ.
  • 00:14:52.319 --> 00:14:55.689
  • We have the mind of christ. and some people wanna make
  • 00:14:55.755 --> 00:14:56.389
  • And some people wanna make this a mystical thing.
  • 00:14:56.456 --> 00:14:57.524
  • This a mystical thing. they want it to be superstitious
  • 00:14:57.590 --> 00:14:59.025
  • They want it to be superstitious or act like it's some ethereal,
  • 00:14:59.092 --> 00:15:01.394
  • Or act like it's some ethereal, hard thing to understand,
  • 00:15:01.461 --> 00:15:02.729
  • Hard thing to understand, but it's really not.
  • 00:15:02.796 --> 00:15:03.563
  • But it's really not. here's the mind of christ,
  • 00:15:03.630 --> 00:15:04.965
  • Here's the mind of christ, in luke 22:42,
  • 00:15:05.031 --> 00:15:06.633
  • In luke 22:42, it tells us what was his mind.
  • 00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:08.702
  • It tells us what was his mind. "nevertheless, not my will
  • 00:15:08.768 --> 00:15:12.238
  • "nevertheless, not my will but thine be done."
  • 00:15:12.305 --> 00:15:14.207
  • But thine be done." in john 5:30, jesus said,
  • 00:15:14.274 --> 00:15:16.576
  • In john 5:30, jesus said, "i do not seek my own will
  • 00:15:16.643 --> 00:15:18.745
  • "i do not seek my own will but the will
  • 00:15:18.812 --> 00:15:19.412
  • But the will of the father who sent me."
  • 00:15:19.479 --> 00:15:20.447
  • Of the father who sent me." when you have
  • 00:15:20.513 --> 00:15:20.981
  • When you have the mind of christ,

  • 00:18:27.467 --> 00:18:30.537
  • Why by the mercy of god? because without god's mercy,
  • 00:18:30.603 --> 00:18:31.738
  • Because without god's mercy, you couldn't even lay
  • 00:18:31.804 --> 00:18:32.472

  • 00:18:42.015 --> 00:18:43.483
  • So, this is why john 3:16 says that god gave, what?
  • 00:18:43.550 --> 00:18:46.219
  • Says that god gave, what? his only begotten son because
  • 00:18:46.286 --> 00:18:48.354
  • His only begotten son because that son was spotless.
  • 00:18:48.421 --> 00:18:51.491

  • 00:18:53.626 --> 00:18:56.296
  • So that i could live his life. but the only way i get
  • 00:18:56.362 --> 00:18:57.130
  • But the only way i get to live that life is i've got
  • 00:18:57.197 --> 00:18:58.898
  • To live that life is i've got to come to this altar and say,
  • 00:18:58.965 --> 00:19:00.300

  • 00:21:02.021 --> 00:21:03.856
  • Your life this way, just like the experiments
  • 00:21:03.923 --> 00:21:05.058
  • Just like the experiments that you used to do
  • 00:21:05.124 --> 00:21:06.025
  • That you used to do in high school science class,
  • 00:21:06.092 --> 00:21:07.427
  • In high school science class, you're looking for proof.
  • 00:21:07.493 --> 00:21:10.897
  • You're looking for proof. if you'll live as a sacrifice,
  • 00:21:10.963 --> 00:21:13.199
  • If you'll live as a sacrifice, and you'll be transformed
  • 00:21:13.266 --> 00:21:14.467
  • And you'll be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
  • 00:21:14.534 --> 00:21:15.568
  • By the renewing of your mind, god is going to prove himself
  • 00:21:15.635 --> 00:21:17.870
  • God is going to prove himself to you in ways that you
  • 00:21:17.937 --> 00:21:19.405
  • To you in ways that you couldn't even imagine.
  • 00:21:19.472 --> 00:21:22.642
  • Couldn't even imagine. he's going to prove
  • 00:21:22.709 --> 00:21:24.110
  • He's going to prove that he's faithful because
  • 00:21:24.177 --> 00:21:25.978
  • That he's faithful because 2 timothy says that
  • 00:21:26.045 --> 00:21:27.347
  • 2 timothy says that he remains faithful.
  • 00:21:27.413 --> 00:21:28.715
  • He remains faithful. he cannot deny himself.
  • 00:21:28.781 --> 00:21:30.049
  • He cannot deny himself. he's going to prove that
  • 00:21:30.116 --> 00:21:31.451
  • He's going to prove that he's a provider because
  • 00:21:31.517 --> 00:21:32.452
  • He's a provider because the psalmist said,
  • 00:21:32.518 --> 00:21:33.319
  • The psalmist said, "i've never seen
  • 00:21:33.386 --> 00:21:33.953
  • "i've never seen the righteous forsaken nor
  • 00:21:34.020 --> 00:21:35.488
  • The righteous forsaken nor their seed begging for bread."
  • 00:21:35.555 --> 00:21:37.156
  • Their seed begging for bread." he's going to prove that
  • 00:21:37.223 --> 00:21:38.424
  • He's going to prove that he cannot fail,
  • 00:21:38.491 --> 00:21:39.425
  • He cannot fail, because jesus said,
  • 00:21:39.492 --> 00:21:40.760
  • Because jesus said, "with man,
  • 00:21:40.827 --> 00:21:41.761
  • "with man, this is impossible,
  • 00:21:41.828 --> 00:21:42.695
  • This is impossible, but with god,
  • 00:21:42.762 --> 00:21:43.696
  • But with god, all things are possible."
  • 00:21:43.763 --> 00:21:45.598
  • All things are possible." when you live your
  • 00:21:45.665 --> 00:21:46.566
  • When you live your life according to god's
  • 00:21:46.632 --> 00:21:47.900
  • Life according to god's plan and not your own plan,
  • 00:21:47.967 --> 00:21:49.902
  • Plan and not your own plan, you'll find out what
  • 00:21:49.969 --> 00:21:51.037
  • You'll find out what david meant when he said,
  • 00:21:51.104 --> 00:21:52.472
  • David meant when he said, "oh taste and see that
  • 00:21:52.538 --> 00:21:54.340
  • "oh taste and see that the lord is good."
  • 00:21:54.407 --> 00:21:55.575
  • The lord is good." what he's saying
  • 00:21:55.641 --> 00:21:56.509
  • What he's saying is the longer you serve him,
  • 00:21:56.576 --> 00:21:58.211
  • Is the longer you serve him, the better he gets
  • 00:21:58.277 --> 00:21:59.379
  • The better he gets because he just
  • 00:21:59.445 --> 00:22:00.279
  • Because he just keeps proving himself,
  • 00:22:00.346 --> 00:22:01.614
  • Keeps proving himself, and proving himself,
  • 00:22:01.681 --> 00:22:02.682

  • So, i ask you this,
  • 00:22:08.788 --> 00:22:10.823
  • So, i ask you this, how many of you need some
  • 00:22:10.890 --> 00:22:11.791
  • How many of you need some proof in your life today?
  • 00:22:11.858 --> 00:22:15.194
  • Proof in your life today? you need god's power to move.
  • 00:22:15.261 --> 00:22:18.631
  • You need god's power to move. you need his hand to make a way.
  • 00:22:18.698 --> 00:22:22.769
  • You need his hand to make a way. the only way you're going

  • The only way you're going to get the proof you're
  • 00:22:23.536 --> 00:22:24.470
  • To get the proof you're looking for is if you put
  • 00:22:24.537 --> 00:22:27.306
  • Looking for is if you put on the altar what he wants,
  • 00:22:27.373 --> 00:22:30.243

  • Which is you. when you lose your mind

  • When you lose your mind and you say,
  • 00:22:36.682 --> 00:22:37.083
  • And you say, "god, because of all that
  • 00:22:37.150 --> 00:22:38.017
  • "god, because of all that you've done for me
  • 00:22:38.084 --> 00:22:38.851
  • You've done for me through jesus,

  • That you could imagine because that's just the kind

  • Because that's just the kind of god that he is.
  • 00:22:55.968 --> 00:22:58.204
  • Of god that he is. would you stand in
  • 00:22:58.271 --> 00:22:58.838
