>> victoria: amen.
00:00:09.555 --> 00:00:10.289
>> victoria: amen. i know all heaven is
00:00:10.355 --> 00:00:11.490
I know all heaven is cheering us on.
00:00:11.557 --> 00:00:12.925
Cheering us on. you may be seated.
00:00:12.991 --> 00:00:14.259
You may be seated. it is so good to be in the
00:00:14.326 --> 00:00:15.194
It is so good to be in the house with the lord.
00:00:15.260 --> 00:00:15.694
House with the lord. thank you for being here today.
00:00:15.761 --> 00:00:17.596
God has made us worthy
00:00:17.830 --> 00:00:19.898
God has made us worthy through jesus christ our lord.
00:00:19.965 --> 00:00:22.968
Through jesus christ our lord. see, we don't have to find
00:00:23.035 --> 00:00:24.436
See, we don't have to find our worth in anything
00:00:24.503 --> 00:00:26.338
But jesus christ.
00:00:26.572 --> 00:00:27.840
But jesus christ. see, that's where we need
00:00:27.906 --> 00:00:28.841
See, that's where we need to place our identity,
00:00:28.907 --> 00:00:30.075
To place our identity, our value,
00:00:30.142 --> 00:00:31.977
Our value, is in jesus christ.
00:00:32.044 --> 00:00:33.612
Is in jesus christ. because that's an eternal value.
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:35.581
Because that's an eternal value. we can't place our value in
00:00:35.647 --> 00:00:37.749
We can't place our value in temporary things.
00:00:37.816 --> 00:00:39.017
Temporary things. we have to place our value in
00:00:39.084 --> 00:00:41.386
We have to place our value in the eternal things.
00:00:41.453 --> 00:00:43.021
The eternal things. see, jesus overcame so that we
00:00:43.088 --> 00:00:45.090
See, jesus overcame so that we could overcome.
00:00:45.157 --> 00:00:46.258
Could overcome. see, he's the forerunner.
00:00:46.325 --> 00:00:47.893
See, he's the forerunner. he made a way.
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:48.927
He made a way. so we have to follow
00:00:48.994 --> 00:00:51.130
So we have to follow his lead.
00:00:51.196 --> 00:00:52.664
His lead. he knows who he is
00:00:52.731 --> 00:00:54.133
He knows who he is and he became everything
00:00:54.199 --> 00:00:56.135
And he became everything he was created to be.
00:00:56.201 --> 00:00:57.736
He was created to be. he now sits at the right hand
00:00:57.803 --> 00:00:58.737
He now sits at the right hand of the father.
00:00:58.804 --> 00:01:00.038
Of the father. see, there is something
00:01:00.105 --> 00:01:01.440
See, there is something that we can identify with.
00:01:01.507 --> 00:01:03.242
That we can identify with. there are so many things in
00:01:03.308 --> 00:01:04.643
There are so many things in this world that are trying to
00:01:04.710 --> 00:01:05.844
This world that are trying to steal our identity,
00:01:05.911 --> 00:01:07.412
Steal our identity, or we're trying to put our
00:01:07.479 --> 00:01:08.580
Or we're trying to put our identity in other things.
00:01:08.647 --> 00:01:10.549
Identity in other things. maybe you know a celebrity
00:01:10.616 --> 00:01:12.184
Maybe you know a celebrity that you want--do you wanna
00:01:12.251 --> 00:01:13.418
That you want--do you wanna be like them or you wanna see
00:01:13.485 --> 00:01:15.420
Be like them or you wanna see what they're doing.
00:01:15.487 --> 00:01:16.388
What they're doing. you wanna do what they're doing.
00:01:16.455 --> 00:01:18.490
You wanna do what they're doing. but i'll tell you,
00:01:18.557 --> 00:01:19.191
But i'll tell you, the greatest celebrity there is,
00:01:19.258 --> 00:01:20.759
The greatest celebrity there is, is jesus christ.
00:01:20.826 --> 00:01:22.828
And the enemy knows that we
00:01:26.532 --> 00:01:28.534
And the enemy knows that we have value in jesus christ.
00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:30.269
Have value in jesus christ. he knows what he's up against.
00:01:30.335 --> 00:01:32.304
He knows what he's up against. he knows that he has
00:01:32.371 --> 00:01:33.939
He knows that he has temporary solutions
00:01:34.006 --> 00:01:36.074
Temporary solutions on this earth.
00:01:36.141 --> 00:01:37.142
On this earth. he is not eternal.
00:01:37.209 --> 00:01:38.777
He is not eternal. his days are coming to an end.
00:01:38.844 --> 00:01:40.712
His days are coming to an end. he only has a limited amount
00:01:40.779 --> 00:01:42.614
He only has a limited amount of time and he's on
00:01:42.681 --> 00:01:44.016
Of time and he's on that time limit,
00:01:44.082 --> 00:01:45.250
That time limit, working overtime,
00:01:45.317 --> 00:01:46.685
Working overtime, to try to get us off course.
00:01:46.752 --> 00:01:49.288
To try to get us off course. but see, he has no place
00:01:49.354 --> 00:01:50.522
But see, he has no place in our life.
00:01:50.589 --> 00:01:51.657
In our life. he'll never stop us.
00:01:51.723 --> 00:01:53.225
He'll never stop us. he may slow us down but he's
00:01:53.292 --> 00:01:55.460
He may slow us down but he's never gonna stop us because
00:01:55.527 --> 00:01:57.062
Never gonna stop us because we are marked with a purpose
00:01:57.129 --> 00:01:59.031
We are marked with a purpose and a destiny in jesus christ.
00:01:59.097 --> 00:02:00.966
And a destiny in jesus christ. that's the good news today.
00:02:01.033 --> 00:02:03.468
That's the good news today. that is the good news today.
00:02:03.535 --> 00:02:06.104
That is the good news today. but he does know this and so
00:02:06.171 --> 00:02:08.173
But he does know this and so he's always trying to get us
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:09.274
He's always trying to get us off course and i think one of
00:02:09.341 --> 00:02:10.609
Off course and i think one of the greatest temptations that
00:02:10.676 --> 00:02:12.611
The greatest temptations that he uses is to place a
00:02:12.678 --> 00:02:15.814
He uses is to place a counterfeit on our value.
00:02:15.881 --> 00:02:17.749
Counterfeit on our value. he tries to decrease our
00:02:17.816 --> 00:02:20.485
He tries to decrease our value and our worth.
00:02:20.552 --> 00:02:22.254
Value and our worth. because, see, he knows
00:02:22.321 --> 00:02:24.089
Because, see, he knows if he can tear down our value
00:02:24.156 --> 00:02:26.458
If he can tear down our value and our worth,
00:02:26.525 --> 00:02:27.459
And our worth, that it will deteriorate
00:02:27.526 --> 00:02:29.461
That it will deteriorate our purpose.
00:02:29.528 --> 00:02:30.662
Our purpose. see, think about this
00:02:30.729 --> 00:02:31.396
See, think about this just a minute.
00:02:31.463 --> 00:02:32.097
Just a minute. if you have something
00:02:32.164 --> 00:02:33.365
If you have something and you tear it down
00:02:33.432 --> 00:02:34.466
And you tear it down and it has no value,
00:02:34.533 --> 00:02:35.968
And it has no value, you really have no purpose
00:02:36.034 --> 00:02:37.169
You really have no purpose for it.
00:02:37.236 --> 00:02:38.403
For it. think about when you clean
00:02:38.470 --> 00:02:39.404
Think about when you clean out your closet.
00:02:39.471 --> 00:02:40.105
Out your closet. "well, i don't like
00:02:40.172 --> 00:02:40.872
"well, i don't like this anymore.
00:02:40.939 --> 00:02:41.607
This anymore. i guess i can just give it away.
00:02:41.673 --> 00:02:43.642
I guess i can just give it away. it has no purpose."
00:02:43.709 --> 00:02:45.010
It has no purpose." you begin to lose your purpose.
00:02:45.077 --> 00:02:48.180
You begin to lose your purpose. and see, if you can
00:02:48.247 --> 00:02:49.147
And see, if you can lose your purpose,
00:02:49.214 --> 00:02:50.382
Lose your purpose, you won't shine brightly
00:02:50.449 --> 00:02:52.551
You won't shine brightly on this earth.
00:02:52.618 --> 00:02:54.052
On this earth. so i just wanna encourage
00:02:54.119 --> 00:02:55.554
So i just wanna encourage every one of us.
00:02:55.621 --> 00:02:56.722
Every one of us. we don't have to look
00:02:56.788 --> 00:02:58.056
We don't have to look for our identity.
00:02:58.123 --> 00:02:59.524
For our identity. we can find it in jesus christ.
00:02:59.591 --> 00:03:01.727
We can find it in jesus christ. we can find our worth in him.
00:03:01.793 --> 00:03:03.962
We can find our worth in him. it's an easy answer but we
00:03:04.029 --> 00:03:06.531
It's an easy answer but we have to take time to feed
00:03:06.598 --> 00:03:08.734
Have to take time to feed on the word of god.
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.569
On the word of god. we have to take time to feed
00:03:10.636 --> 00:03:12.371
We have to take time to feed on the creator and let him
00:03:12.437 --> 00:03:13.805
On the creator and let him build up our spirit.
00:03:13.872 --> 00:03:15.173
Build up our spirit. you see, we can't find
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.576
You see, we can't find our strength in our possessions,
00:03:17.643 --> 00:03:19.278
Our strength in our possessions, in this outer world.
00:03:19.344 --> 00:03:20.979
In this outer world. we have to find our strength
00:03:21.046 --> 00:03:22.514
We have to find our strength in our eternal world,
00:03:22.581 --> 00:03:24.283
In our eternal world, in our inner world.
00:03:24.349 --> 00:03:26.184
In our inner world. see, jesus, in matthew 4,
00:03:26.251 --> 00:03:28.687
See, jesus, in matthew 4, tells us that when he was
00:03:28.754 --> 00:03:31.490
Tells us that when he was just baptized,
00:03:31.556 --> 00:03:32.491
Just baptized, he came up from
00:03:32.557 --> 00:03:34.726
He came up from the jordan river.
00:03:34.793 --> 00:03:35.927
The jordan river. a loud voice from god
00:03:35.994 --> 00:03:37.529
A loud voice from god boomed from heaven,
00:03:37.596 --> 00:03:38.964
Boomed from heaven, a dove landed on him
00:03:39.031 --> 00:03:40.365
A dove landed on him to represent the power
00:03:40.432 --> 00:03:41.566
To represent the power of the holy spirit,
00:03:41.633 --> 00:03:42.634
Of the holy spirit, and god said,
00:03:42.701 --> 00:03:43.602
And god said, "this is my son,
00:03:43.669 --> 00:03:45.103
"this is my son, in whom i am well pleased."
00:03:45.170 --> 00:03:47.539
In whom i am well pleased." he was anointed that day with
00:03:47.606 --> 00:03:51.076
He was anointed that day with power and might.
00:03:51.143 --> 00:03:52.644
Power and might. he was the son of god and the
00:03:52.711 --> 00:03:54.613
He was the son of god and the whole earth knew it.
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.481
Whole earth knew it. he went into a fast,
00:03:56.548 --> 00:03:59.985
He went into a fast, a deeper relationship with
00:04:00.052 --> 00:04:01.753
A deeper relationship with his father.
00:04:01.820 --> 00:04:02.754
His father. the bible says he fasted for
00:04:02.821 --> 00:04:04.156
The bible says he fasted for 40 days and 40 nights.
00:04:04.222 --> 00:04:06.224
40 days and 40 nights. he sought the father's will.
00:04:06.291 --> 00:04:08.026
He sought the father's will. he got to know the father.
00:04:08.093 --> 00:04:09.828
He got to know the father. now, i've never fasted for
00:04:09.895 --> 00:04:11.163
Now, i've never fasted for 40 days and 40 nights.
00:04:11.229 --> 00:04:12.397
40 days and 40 nights. have you?
00:04:12.464 --> 00:04:13.532
Have you? i have fasted between meals
00:04:13.598 --> 00:04:15.067
I have fasted between meals but never for 40 days
00:04:15.133 --> 00:04:16.868
But never for 40 days or 40 nights.
00:04:16.935 --> 00:04:19.137
Or 40 nights. so you know he was hungry.
00:04:19.204 --> 00:04:23.442
So you know he was hungry. he had a physical need.
00:04:23.508 --> 00:04:25.610
He had a physical need. he was very,
00:04:25.677 --> 00:04:26.378
He was very, very hungry.
00:04:26.445 --> 00:04:28.313
Very hungry. and the bible says that the
00:04:28.380 --> 00:04:29.181
And the bible says that the spirit of god led him into
00:04:29.247 --> 00:04:31.983
Spirit of god led him into the wilderness to be tempted
00:04:32.050 --> 00:04:33.785
The wilderness to be tempted by the enemy.
00:04:33.852 --> 00:04:36.288
By the enemy. he had a physical need
00:04:36.355 --> 00:04:38.623
He had a physical need and guess what?
00:04:38.690 --> 00:04:40.792
And guess what? the enemy tried to move in
00:04:40.859 --> 00:04:42.794
The enemy tried to move in on that need.
00:04:42.861 --> 00:04:44.329
On that need. so he offered him a
00:04:44.396 --> 00:04:46.298
So he offered him a temporary solution.
00:04:46.365 --> 00:04:48.467
Temporary solution. he said this,
00:04:48.533 --> 00:04:50.035
He said this, "if you are the son of god,
00:04:50.102 --> 00:04:52.804
"if you are the son of god, if you are the son--"
00:04:52.871 --> 00:04:55.140
If you are the son--" right there, right there,
00:04:55.207 --> 00:04:57.342
Right there, right there, he's questioning who he is.
00:04:57.409 --> 00:04:59.511
He's questioning who he is. he's also trying to find out
00:04:59.578 --> 00:05:01.580
He's also trying to find out who he is and he's also
00:05:01.646 --> 00:05:04.449
Who he is and he's also trying to bring confusion
00:05:04.516 --> 00:05:05.984
Trying to bring confusion into the situation.
00:05:06.051 --> 00:05:07.185
Into the situation. just like he did eve.
00:05:07.252 --> 00:05:08.620
Just like he did eve. do you remember?
00:05:08.687 --> 00:05:09.454
Do you remember? he brought confusion
00:05:09.521 --> 00:05:10.722
He brought confusion into eve.
00:05:10.789 --> 00:05:11.757
Into eve. he said, "now, eve,
00:05:11.823 --> 00:05:13.091
He said, "now, eve, if god loves you so much,
00:05:13.158 --> 00:05:14.393
If god loves you so much, why can't you eat of this?
00:05:14.459 --> 00:05:16.328
Why can't you eat of this? this is a beautiful fruit.
00:05:16.395 --> 00:05:18.530
This is a beautiful fruit. if you can eat from any fruit
00:05:18.597 --> 00:05:20.565
If you can eat from any fruit in the garden,
00:05:20.632 --> 00:05:21.133
In the garden, why can't you eat from this?
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.834
Why can't you eat from this? does god not love you?"
00:05:22.901 --> 00:05:25.237
Does god not love you?" see how the enemy comes
00:05:25.303 --> 00:05:27.973
See how the enemy comes and he tries to work on
00:05:28.039 --> 00:05:29.608
And he tries to work on our insecurities?
00:05:29.674 --> 00:05:31.510
He tries to steal who we are
00:05:31.743 --> 00:05:33.812
He tries to steal who we are in our identity.
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:35.313
In our identity. if god loved you so much why
00:05:35.380 --> 00:05:37.516
If god loved you so much why did you lose that position?
00:05:37.582 --> 00:05:38.950
Did you lose that position? why did your husband walk out
00:05:39.017 --> 00:05:40.952
Why did your husband walk out on you?
00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:42.854
See, he wants to devalue you.
00:05:43.288 --> 00:05:47.459
See, he wants to devalue you. he wants you to not have the
00:05:47.526 --> 00:05:50.395
He wants you to not have the worth that jesus christ came
00:05:50.462 --> 00:05:52.564
Worth that jesus christ came to make you worthy.
00:05:52.631 --> 00:05:54.633
To make you worthy. he's trying to take the--your
00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:57.068
He's trying to take the--your worth and,
00:05:57.135 --> 00:05:57.869
Worth and, you know what?
00:05:57.936 --> 00:05:58.937
You know what? he's not gonna do it.
00:05:59.004 --> 00:06:00.172
He's not gonna do it. we might take the bait every
00:06:00.238 --> 00:06:01.373
We might take the bait every once in a while but, listen,
00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:03.008
Once in a while but, listen, he may try to slow us down,
00:06:03.074 --> 00:06:04.276
He may try to slow us down, but he'll never have our life.
00:06:04.342 --> 00:06:05.877
But he'll never have our life. he'll never have our life.
00:06:05.944 --> 00:06:11.516
He'll never have our life. he said,
00:06:11.583 --> 00:06:12.751
He said, "if you are the son of god."
00:06:12.818 --> 00:06:15.187
"if you are the son of god." he wanted to play off
00:06:15.253 --> 00:06:16.455
He wanted to play off his insecurity.
00:06:16.521 --> 00:06:17.656
His insecurity. he wanted to see if he even
00:06:17.722 --> 00:06:19.324
He wanted to see if he even knew who he really was.
00:06:19.391 --> 00:06:20.725
Knew who he really was. he said, "take these stones
00:06:20.792 --> 00:06:22.928
He said, "take these stones and turn 'em into bread.
00:06:22.994 --> 00:06:24.563
And turn 'em into bread. aren't you hungry?
00:06:24.629 --> 00:06:25.630
Aren't you hungry? you can eat right now."
00:06:25.697 --> 00:06:27.199
You can eat right now." but jesus didn't operate out
00:06:27.265 --> 00:06:31.203
But jesus didn't operate out of a place of insecurity.
00:06:31.269 --> 00:06:32.904
Of a place of insecurity. he didn't try to become
00:06:32.971 --> 00:06:34.806
Independent from god.
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.808
Independent from god. he was connected
00:06:36.875 --> 00:06:38.677
He was connected to the father.
00:06:38.743 --> 00:06:39.644
To the father. you know he could have turned
00:06:39.711 --> 00:06:40.879
You know he could have turned those stones into bread.
00:06:40.946 --> 00:06:42.447
Those stones into bread. you know he could have
00:06:42.514 --> 00:06:43.815
You know he could have because we see later on
00:06:43.882 --> 00:06:45.050
Because we see later on that he took 2 loaves
00:06:45.116 --> 00:06:46.718
That he took 2 loaves and he multiplied the bread
00:06:46.785 --> 00:06:48.487
And he multiplied the bread to feed 5000.
00:06:48.553 --> 00:06:50.088
To feed 5000. see, jesus can do anything.
00:06:50.155 --> 00:06:51.656
See, jesus can do anything. he can turn anything
00:06:51.723 --> 00:06:53.191
He can turn anything into anything.
00:06:53.258 --> 00:06:54.693
Into anything. it wasn't a matter if he could,
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.528
It wasn't a matter if he could, it was a matter if he would.
00:06:56.595 --> 00:06:59.397
It was a matter if he would. was he gonna take the
00:06:59.464 --> 00:07:01.533
Was he gonna take the temporary bait?
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.268
Temporary bait? no, he wasn't gonna operate of a
00:07:03.335 --> 00:07:06.538
No, he wasn't gonna operate of a place of insecurity because
00:07:06.605 --> 00:07:07.572
Place of insecurity because he was connected to the father.
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:09.140
He was connected to the father. he says, "listen, i do what
00:07:09.207 --> 00:07:10.575
He says, "listen, i do what the father tells me to do.
00:07:10.642 --> 00:07:12.344
Whatever the father says do,
00:07:12.644 --> 00:07:13.979
Whatever the father says do, i do.
00:07:14.045 --> 00:07:15.480
I do. and the father didn't tell me
00:07:15.547 --> 00:07:18.083
And the father didn't tell me to do that.
00:07:18.149 --> 00:07:19.251
To do that. see, this is a
00:07:19.317 --> 00:07:20.752
See, this is a temporary pleasure
00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:23.555
Temporary pleasure but i am rooted and
00:07:23.622 --> 00:07:26.391
But i am rooted and established in the father."
00:07:26.458 --> 00:07:28.660
Established in the father." you see, it's that inner world
00:07:28.727 --> 00:07:30.362
You see, it's that inner world that jesus had going on.
00:07:30.428 --> 00:07:32.130
That jesus had going on. wasn't the temporary pleasures.
00:07:32.197 --> 00:07:34.032
Wasn't the temporary pleasures. it wasn't the things
00:07:34.099 --> 00:07:35.133
It wasn't the things for the season.
00:07:35.200 --> 00:07:36.334
For the season. it wasn't that,
00:07:36.401 --> 00:07:37.235
It wasn't that, "just fill my belly right now."
00:07:37.302 --> 00:07:39.137
Because he knew, "you know what,
00:07:39.704 --> 00:07:40.505
Because he knew, "you know what, i could eat that right now
00:07:40.572 --> 00:07:41.606
I could eat that right now but i'm gonna be hungry later.
00:07:41.673 --> 00:07:43.508
But i'm gonna be hungry later. unless god feeds me,
00:07:43.575 --> 00:07:45.143
Unless god feeds me, i am always gonna be hungry."
00:07:45.210 --> 00:07:48.179
I am always gonna be hungry." and that's what the enemy
00:07:48.246 --> 00:07:49.447
And that's what the enemy wants us to think,
00:07:49.514 --> 00:07:50.815
Wants us to think, that these temporary
00:07:50.882 --> 00:07:52.250
That these temporary things can give us
00:07:52.317 --> 00:07:53.151
Things can give us eternal satisfaction.
00:07:53.218 --> 00:07:54.719
Eternal satisfaction. but they cannot.
00:07:54.786 --> 00:07:56.354
But they cannot. we have to be willing to go
00:07:56.421 --> 00:07:58.256
In and find out who we are,
00:07:58.990 --> 00:08:01.426
In and find out who we are, remember who we are,
00:08:01.493 --> 00:08:02.827
Remember who we are, and establish our identity in
00:08:02.894 --> 00:08:05.196
And establish our identity in that and that alone.
00:08:05.263 --> 00:08:08.199
That and that alone. jesus' response to him was,
00:08:08.266 --> 00:08:10.001
Jesus' response to him was, "man will not live by bread
00:08:10.068 --> 00:08:12.203
"man will not live by bread alone but by every word that
00:08:12.270 --> 00:08:14.773
Alone but by every word that proceeds out of the
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:15.740
Proceeds out of the mouth of god."
00:08:15.807 --> 00:08:16.975
Mouth of god." he was saying,
00:08:17.042 --> 00:08:18.009
He was saying, "if god tells me to do it,
00:08:18.076 --> 00:08:19.578
"if god tells me to do it, i'll do it.
00:08:19.644 --> 00:08:20.679
I'll do it. but if you tell me to do it,
00:08:20.745 --> 00:08:21.846
But if you tell me to do it, i'm not gonna do it 'cause i
00:08:21.913 --> 00:08:23.715
I'm not gonna do it 'cause i don't respond to you
00:08:23.782 --> 00:08:24.950
Don't respond to you out of insecurity.
00:08:25.016 --> 00:08:26.318
Out of insecurity. i know who i am.
00:08:26.384 --> 00:08:27.852
I know who i am. i have worth and value.
00:08:27.919 --> 00:08:29.588
I have worth and value. hey, this is hard
00:08:29.654 --> 00:08:31.289
Hey, this is hard 'cause i'm hungry."
00:08:31.356 --> 00:08:32.791
'cause i'm hungry." the easy thing to do would be
00:08:32.857 --> 00:08:35.126
To turn the stone into bread.
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:36.628
To turn the stone into bread. that would be easy.
00:08:36.695 --> 00:08:37.862
That would be easy. that would be quick.
00:08:37.929 --> 00:08:39.297
That would be quick. how many of you know
00:08:39.364 --> 00:08:40.599
How many of you know sometimes the easy way out is
00:08:40.665 --> 00:08:42.867
Sometimes the easy way out is the quickest way out?
00:08:42.934 --> 00:08:44.569
The quickest way out? but it doesn't always
00:08:44.636 --> 00:08:45.604
But it doesn't always work for us.
00:08:45.670 --> 00:08:47.505
Sometimes, we take that easy way
00:08:47.739 --> 00:08:49.341
Sometimes, we take that easy way out and we realize it was really
00:08:49.407 --> 00:08:51.343
Out and we realize it was really the long road to hoe.
00:08:51.409 --> 00:08:53.612
The long road to hoe. but if we'll just sit back
00:08:53.678 --> 00:08:55.080
But if we'll just sit back and we'll say,
00:08:55.146 --> 00:08:56.448
And we'll say, "who is questioning me?
00:08:56.514 --> 00:08:58.216
"who is questioning me? who is the one that's trying
00:08:58.283 --> 00:08:59.718
Who is the one that's trying to bring confusion?
00:08:59.784 --> 00:09:01.186
To bring confusion? who's the one that's making
00:09:01.252 --> 00:09:02.187
Who's the one that's making me feel insecure,
00:09:02.253 --> 00:09:03.555
Me feel insecure, like i have to respond,
00:09:03.622 --> 00:09:05.423
Like i have to respond, like i have to do this
00:09:05.490 --> 00:09:06.358
Like i have to do this on my own?
00:09:06.424 --> 00:09:08.059
On my own? like there's a temptation and
00:09:08.126 --> 00:09:09.427
Like there's a temptation and if i'll take the easy way out,
00:09:09.494 --> 00:09:10.795
If i'll take the easy way out, i'll get out of this situation?"
00:09:10.862 --> 00:09:12.697
I'll get out of this situation?" but is it god telling you
00:09:12.764 --> 00:09:13.999
But is it god telling you to do that?
00:09:14.065 --> 00:09:15.133
To do that? are you consulting
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.134
Are you consulting the inner voice,
00:09:16.201 --> 00:09:18.003
The inner voice, the inner world,
00:09:18.069 --> 00:09:19.004
The inner world, the inner strength?
00:09:19.070 --> 00:09:20.605
The inner strength? the bible says it's the
00:09:20.672 --> 00:09:21.339
The bible says it's the spirit of the man that
00:09:21.406 --> 00:09:23.108
Spirit of the man that sustains the man.
00:09:23.174 --> 00:09:24.676
Sustains the man. god has got you.
00:09:24.743 --> 00:09:26.077
God has got you. listen, you don't have to make
00:09:26.144 --> 00:09:27.312
Listen, you don't have to make any quick decision.
00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:28.747
Any quick decision. god has got you.
00:09:28.813 --> 00:09:30.215
God has got you. he will help you.
00:09:30.281 --> 00:09:30.949
He will help you. he will lead you.
00:09:31.016 --> 00:09:32.384
He will lead you. see, jesus was not willing to be
00:09:32.450 --> 00:09:38.356
See, jesus was not willing to be disconnected to the father
00:09:38.423 --> 00:09:40.225
Disconnected to the father because he knew that if he
00:09:40.291 --> 00:09:43.261
Because he knew that if he would answer the wrong way
00:09:43.328 --> 00:09:45.563
Would answer the wrong way and he responded the wrong
00:09:45.630 --> 00:09:47.432
And he responded the wrong way then satan could say,
00:09:47.499 --> 00:09:49.401
Way then satan could say, "see, he's not even worthy
00:09:49.467 --> 00:09:51.569
"see, he's not even worthy to save the world."
00:09:51.636 --> 00:09:52.937
To save the world." and that's what he wants to
00:09:53.004 --> 00:09:55.306
And that's what he wants to do to us.
00:09:55.373 --> 00:09:56.641
Do to us. he wants to make us
00:09:56.708 --> 00:09:57.642
He wants to make us feel unworthy to receive
00:09:57.709 --> 00:09:59.844
Feel unworthy to receive the gift of god,
00:09:59.911 --> 00:10:01.079
The gift of god, the grace of god,
00:10:01.146 --> 00:10:03.515
The grace of god, our salvation.
00:10:03.581 --> 00:10:05.316
Our salvation. "look what you did yesterday.
00:10:05.383 --> 00:10:07.218
How could god accept you?
00:10:08.453 --> 00:10:10.955
How could god accept you? how could you take this free
00:10:11.022 --> 00:10:13.024
How could you take this free gift of grace,
00:10:13.091 --> 00:10:14.726
Gift of grace, this unprecedented favor?
00:10:14.793 --> 00:10:17.195
This unprecedented favor? you're unworthy of it."
00:10:17.262 --> 00:10:20.131
You're unworthy of it." what is your answer?
00:10:20.198 --> 00:10:21.833
What is your answer? "hey, i am not.
00:10:21.900 --> 00:10:23.234
"hey, i am not. i am not the one who's worthy.
00:10:23.301 --> 00:10:25.637
I am not the one who's worthy. it's not my identity.
00:10:25.704 --> 00:10:27.739
It's not my identity. it's the identity of jesus
00:10:27.806 --> 00:10:29.941
It's the identity of jesus christ and what he did for me."
00:10:30.008 --> 00:10:32.310
Christ and what he did for me." that's almost too simple,
00:10:32.377 --> 00:10:34.212
Isn't it?
00:10:34.446 --> 00:10:35.447
Isn't it? it's almost too simple.
00:10:35.513 --> 00:10:37.048
It's almost too simple. but i wanna encourage you,
00:10:37.115 --> 00:10:39.684
But i wanna encourage you, don't diminish your value.
00:10:39.751 --> 00:10:42.020
Don't diminish your value. don't diminish what jesus did.
00:10:42.087 --> 00:10:44.389
Don't diminish what jesus did. because he did it for you.
00:10:44.456 --> 00:10:47.092
Because he did it for you. he did it because he loves you.
00:10:47.158 --> 00:10:49.728
He did it because he loves you. because he was willing to
00:10:49.794 --> 00:10:51.396
Because he was willing to trade places with you.
00:10:51.463 --> 00:10:53.064
Trade places with you. he was willing to say,
00:10:53.131 --> 00:10:54.599
He was willing to say, "i'll give you my honor and
00:10:54.666 --> 00:10:57.135
"i'll give you my honor and i'll go through it all."
00:10:57.202 --> 00:10:58.803
I'll go through it all." see, when we realize,
00:10:58.870 --> 00:11:00.505
See, when we realize, we can worship the creator.
00:11:00.572 --> 00:11:03.875
We can worship the creator. we do not have to worship
00:11:03.942 --> 00:11:06.511
We do not have to worship the creation.
00:11:06.578 --> 00:11:08.213
The creation. the creation will never give
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.448
The creation will never give us eternal satisfaction.
00:11:10.515 --> 00:11:12.717
Us eternal satisfaction. only the creator can do that.
00:11:12.784 --> 00:11:14.986
Only the creator can do that. only the creator.
00:11:15.053 --> 00:11:17.088
Only the creator. that should let us know we
00:11:17.155 --> 00:11:19.290
That should let us know we should take the time to get
00:11:19.357 --> 00:11:21.126
Should take the time to get the word of god in us.
00:11:21.192 --> 00:11:22.694
The word of god in us. do like you're doing today.
00:11:22.761 --> 00:11:24.095
Do like you're doing today. get in church.
00:11:24.162 --> 00:11:24.963
Get in church. fill yourself up.
00:11:25.029 --> 00:11:26.765
Fill yourself up. remember, when you hear those
00:11:26.831 --> 00:11:28.333
Remember, when you hear those voices of confusion,
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:29.567
Voices of confusion, that accusation,
00:11:29.634 --> 00:11:31.002
That accusation, that questioning your
00:11:31.069 --> 00:11:32.837
That questioning your identity and your worth,
00:11:32.904 --> 00:11:35.173
Identity and your worth, that is not from god.
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.876
That is not from god. that is from the enemy.
00:11:37.942 --> 00:11:39.711
That is from the enemy. and you have the answer,
00:11:39.778 --> 00:11:41.379
And you have the answer, "i am the righteousness of
00:11:41.446 --> 00:11:43.348
"i am the righteousness of god in christ jesus.
00:11:43.414 --> 00:11:44.883
God in christ jesus. god's got me in the palm
00:11:44.949 --> 00:11:46.351
God's got me in the palm of his hand.
00:11:46.417 --> 00:11:47.352
Of his hand. he's not gonna let me fall.
00:11:47.418 --> 00:11:48.820
He's not gonna let me fall. he's not gonna let me go
00:11:48.887 --> 00:11:50.355
He's not gonna let me go 'cause i am stamped and
00:11:50.421 --> 00:11:51.856
'cause i am stamped and heaven bound," amen?
00:11:51.923 --> 00:11:53.391
Heaven bound," amen? amen.

00:14:56.107 --> 00:14:57.742
Most high god. every time i say that,
00:14:57.809 --> 00:14:58.876
Every time i say that, that just reminds me we're
00:14:58.943 --> 00:15:00.378
That just reminds me we're not average,
00:15:00.445 --> 00:15:01.412
Not average, we're not mediocre.
00:15:01.479 --> 00:15:02.547
We're not mediocre. we weren't created to just
00:15:02.613 --> 00:15:03.848
We weren't created to just get by in life.
00:15:03.915 --> 00:15:05.116
Get by in life. we were created
00:15:05.183 --> 00:15:05.950
We were created to reign in life.
00:15:06.017 --> 00:15:07.852
One scripture says we were
00:15:08.086 --> 00:15:08.553
One scripture says we were created to be masters
00:15:08.619 --> 00:15:09.754
Created to be masters of all of life.
00:15:09.821 --> 00:15:11.155
Of all of life. that means victorious no
00:15:11.222 --> 00:15:12.623
That means victorious no matter what comes against us.
00:15:12.690 --> 00:15:14.225
Matter what comes against us. like we were singing,
00:15:14.292 --> 00:15:15.226
Like we were singing, you know what?
00:15:15.293 --> 00:15:15.960
You know what? we will not be shaken.
00:15:16.027 --> 00:15:17.862
You know, we all have
00:15:18.096 --> 00:15:19.097
You know, we all have difficulties in life but,
00:15:19.163 --> 00:15:19.831
Difficulties in life but, as i said earlier,
00:15:19.897 --> 00:15:20.865
As i said earlier, our god is still on the throne.
00:15:20.932 --> 00:15:22.200
Our god is still on the throne. he's in control.
00:15:22.266 --> 00:15:23.668
He's in control. have you ever thought
00:15:23.735 --> 00:15:24.168
Have you ever thought about this?
00:15:24.235 --> 00:15:24.802
About this? god is even in control
00:15:24.869 --> 00:15:26.270
God is even in control of the enemy.
00:15:26.337 --> 00:15:27.305
Of the enemy. he's in control of your enemies.
00:15:27.372 --> 00:15:29.040
He's in control of your enemies. i mean, he created the devil.
00:15:29.107 --> 00:15:30.241
I mean, he created the devil. god's in control of it all
00:15:30.308 --> 00:15:31.776
God's in control of it all and so i love the fact that,
00:15:31.843 --> 00:15:33.277
And so i love the fact that, like with job,
00:15:33.344 --> 00:15:34.212
Like with job, you know,
00:15:34.278 --> 00:15:34.812
You know, the devil had to ask
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:36.981
The devil had to ask permission to even test job.
00:15:37.048 --> 00:15:38.883
Permission to even test job. that tells me that, you know,
00:15:38.950 --> 00:15:40.518
That tells me that, you know, the enemy's not in control
00:15:40.585 --> 00:15:41.386
The enemy's not in control of my life.
00:15:41.452 --> 00:15:42.086
Of my life. god's in control of my life.
00:15:42.153 --> 00:15:43.554
God's in control of my life. he's fighting my battles.
00:15:43.621 --> 00:15:44.555
He's fighting my battles. he'll get me to where i'm
00:15:44.622 --> 00:15:46.457
Supposed to be.
00:15:46.691 --> 00:15:47.525
Supposed to be. you know, we all have things
00:15:47.592 --> 00:15:49.861
You know, we all have things come against us
00:15:49.927 --> 00:15:50.762
Come against us but i remember what
00:15:50.828 --> 00:15:51.562
But i remember what god said to abraham.
00:15:51.629 --> 00:15:52.730
God said to abraham. he wasn't in a real great
00:15:52.797 --> 00:15:54.332
He wasn't in a real great place but god told him,
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:55.633
Place but god told him, "abraham, look up from
00:15:55.700 --> 00:15:57.402
"abraham, look up from where you are,
00:15:57.468 --> 00:15:58.403
Where you are, for all the land that
00:15:58.469 --> 00:15:59.737
For all the land that you can see,
00:15:59.804 --> 00:16:00.905
You can see, i will give it to you."
00:16:00.972 --> 00:16:02.106
I will give it to you." and see, that's a spiritual
00:16:02.173 --> 00:16:04.008
Principle 'cause, you know,
00:16:04.242 --> 00:16:04.742
Principle 'cause, you know, in difficult times it's easy
00:16:04.809 --> 00:16:05.443
In difficult times it's easy to look down and, you know,
00:16:05.510 --> 00:16:06.911
To look down and, you know, in a sense, you know,
00:16:06.978 --> 00:16:07.578
In a sense, you know, "i'll just focus on this
00:16:07.645 --> 00:16:08.379
"i'll just focus on this medical report or these
00:16:08.446 --> 00:16:09.647
Medical report or these people at work or i got this
00:16:09.714 --> 00:16:11.182
People at work or i got this situation in my marriage,"
00:16:11.249 --> 00:16:12.316
Situation in my marriage," and, you know,
00:16:12.383 --> 00:16:12.817
And, you know, in a sense we're just
00:16:12.884 --> 00:16:13.618
In a sense we're just looking down.
00:16:13.684 --> 00:16:14.519
Looking down. god is saying,
00:16:14.585 --> 00:16:15.386
God is saying, "if you'll look up from where
00:16:15.453 --> 00:16:16.487
"if you'll look up from where you are,
00:16:16.554 --> 00:16:17.455
You are, if you'll get a vision of
00:16:17.522 --> 00:16:18.589
If you'll get a vision of yourself healthy and whole
00:16:18.656 --> 00:16:19.891
Yourself healthy and whole and strong and restored,"
00:16:19.957 --> 00:16:21.559
And strong and restored," then god can bring it to pass.
00:16:21.626 --> 00:16:24.162
Then god can bring it to pass. see, we'll never rise
00:16:24.228 --> 00:16:26.030
See, we'll never rise any higher than the way
00:16:26.097 --> 00:16:27.365
Any higher than the way we see ourselves.
00:16:27.432 --> 00:16:28.766
We see ourselves. that's why you have to have
00:16:28.833 --> 00:16:29.934
That's why you have to have that vision of victory for
00:16:30.001 --> 00:16:31.202
That vision of victory for your life.
00:16:31.269 --> 00:16:32.136
Your life. let it take root on the inside,
00:16:32.203 --> 00:16:33.938
Let it take root on the inside, then god can bring it to pass
00:16:34.005 --> 00:16:35.540
Then god can bring it to pass on the outside.
00:16:35.606 --> 00:16:36.741
On the outside. maybe today, you know,
00:16:36.808 --> 00:16:38.042
Maybe today, you know, the main thing you need to do
00:16:38.109 --> 00:16:39.377
The main thing you need to do is just look up from where
00:16:39.444 --> 00:16:40.445
Is just look up from where you are.
00:16:40.511 --> 00:16:41.612
You are. you know, look away from
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:42.146
You know, look away from the distractions and, you know,
00:16:42.213 --> 00:16:43.981
The distractions and, you know, the scripture talks about,
00:16:44.048 --> 00:16:44.882
The scripture talks about, "don't look to the mountains
00:16:44.949 --> 00:16:45.783
"don't look to the mountains for help.
00:16:45.850 --> 00:16:46.350
For help. look to the god
00:16:46.417 --> 00:16:47.185
Look to the god who made the mountain."
00:16:47.251 --> 00:16:49.087
So when we get our focus on
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:49.821
So when we get our focus on this great god who spoke
00:16:49.887 --> 00:16:51.856
This great god who spoke worlds into existence,
00:16:51.923 --> 00:16:53.191
Worlds into existence, let me tell you,
00:16:53.257 --> 00:16:54.325
Let me tell you, he can turn your
00:16:54.392 --> 00:16:55.026
He can turn your situation around.
00:16:55.093 --> 00:16:55.893
Situation around. he can help you accomplish
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.161
He can help you accomplish a dream.
00:16:57.228 --> 00:16:58.029
A dream. he can get you to where
00:16:58.096 --> 00:16:59.063
He can get you to where you're supposed to be.
00:16:59.130 --> 00:17:00.298
You're supposed to be. well, we love you very much
00:17:00.364 --> 00:17:01.799
Well, we love you very much and we're gonna take this
00:17:01.866 --> 00:17:02.333
And we're gonna take this moment to pray
00:17:02.400 --> 00:17:04.202
Moment to pray like we do in every service.
00:17:04.268 --> 00:17:04.802
Like we do in every service. if there's something that you'd
00:17:04.869 --> 00:17:06.671
If there's something that you'd like us to pray with you about,
00:17:06.737 --> 00:17:07.305
Like us to pray with you about, one-on-one,
00:17:07.371 --> 00:17:07.939
One-on-one, we'd love to do that.
00:17:08.005 --> 00:17:09.107
We'd love to do that. during this next song,
00:17:09.173 --> 00:17:10.108
During this next song, there'll be a prayer partner
00:17:10.174 --> 00:17:11.242
There'll be a prayer partner at the front of your section.
00:17:11.309 --> 00:17:12.376
At the front of your section. even up top.
00:17:12.443 --> 00:17:13.511
Even up top. if you need prayer,
00:17:13.578 --> 00:17:14.278
If you need prayer, anyone's welcome to come down
00:17:14.345 --> 00:17:15.546
Anyone's welcome to come down for prayer.
00:17:15.613 --> 00:17:16.114
For prayer. rest of you,

You're welcome to be seated if you like.

If you like. we're gonna sing a couple
00:17:18.616 --> 00:17:19.650
We're gonna sing a couple more songs but,
00:17:19.717 --> 00:17:20.451
