To you, my heart to your heart, and talk to you about something that is very, very important.
00:00:55.033 --> 00:00:58.437
Have you ever had anyone say
00:00:58.504 --> 00:01:00.806
Have you ever had anyone say to you, “are you born again,
00:01:00.873 --> 00:01:03.509
Have you ever had anyone say to you, “are you born again, or are you saved?
00:01:03.575 --> 00:01:04.877
To you, “are you born again, or are you saved? and wondered what in the
00:01:04.943 --> 00:01:05.711
Or are you saved? and wondered what in the world they're talking about?
00:01:05.777 --> 00:01:07.846
And wondered what in the world they're talking about? or have you just heard that
00:01:07.913 --> 00:01:09.915
World they're talking about? or have you just heard that phrase, and you wondered,
00:01:09.982 --> 00:01:10.983
Or have you just heard that phrase, and you wondered, “what am i getting saved from?”
00:01:11.049 --> 00:01:13.218
Phrase, and you wondered, “what am i getting saved from?” or, “how can you be born again?
00:01:13.285 --> 00:01:14.920
“what am i getting saved from?” or, “how can you be born again? you can't go back into your
00:01:14.987 --> 00:01:16.922
Or, “how can you be born again? you can't go back into your mother's womb and be born
00:01:16.989 --> 00:01:18.991
You can't go back into your mother's womb and be born all over again.”
00:01:19.057 --> 00:01:21.426
Mother's womb and be born all over again.” but the bible says in john 3:3,
00:01:21.493 --> 00:01:24.796
All over again.” but the bible says in john 3:3, "truly, truly, i say to you,
00:01:24.863 --> 00:01:26.932
But the bible says in john 3:3, "truly, truly, i say to you, unless one is born again
00:01:26.999 --> 00:01:29.735
"truly, truly, i say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see
00:01:29.801 --> 00:01:31.503
Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of god."
00:01:31.570 --> 00:01:33.238
He cannot see the kingdom of god." so, this is not just something
00:01:33.305 --> 00:01:34.640
That people randomly say,
00:01:34.706 --> 00:01:36.542
That people randomly say, but it's actually something
00:01:36.608 --> 00:01:37.709
That people randomly say, but it's actually something that jesus said himself.
00:01:37.776 --> 00:01:41.780
But it's actually something that jesus said himself. and to be born again means
00:01:41.847 --> 00:01:43.115
That jesus said himself. and to be born again means to be born again spiritually.
00:01:43.182 --> 00:01:45.817
And to be born again means to be born again spiritually. you are a spirit, you have
00:01:45.884 --> 00:01:48.520
To be born again spiritually. you are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body.
00:01:48.587 --> 00:01:51.156
You are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. we're all tripart beings.
00:01:51.223 --> 00:01:53.926
A soul, and you live in a body. we're all tripart beings. when you look at yourself
00:01:53.992 --> 00:01:54.793
We're all tripart beings. when you look at yourself in the mirror, there's more
00:01:54.860 --> 00:01:57.329
When you look at yourself in the mirror, there's more to you than just the body
00:01:57.396 --> 00:01:58.830
In the mirror, there's more to you than just the body that you see.
00:01:58.897 --> 00:02:00.766
To you than just the body that you see. sometimes you're hurting
00:02:00.832 --> 00:02:02.734
That you see. sometimes you're hurting in your soul about something
00:02:02.801 --> 00:02:04.136
Sometimes you're hurting in your soul about something and your body feels fine.
00:02:04.203 --> 00:02:06.705
In your soul about something and your body feels fine. our spirit can be dead
00:02:06.772 --> 00:02:07.973
And your body feels fine. our spirit can be dead or it can be alive.
00:02:08.040 --> 00:02:10.209
Our spirit can be dead or it can be alive. and it's dead if we don't
00:02:10.275 --> 00:02:12.144
Or it can be alive. and it's dead if we don't have jesus christ, the light
00:02:12.211 --> 00:02:13.512
And it's dead if we don't have jesus christ, the light of the world, living in us.
00:02:13.579 --> 00:02:15.981
When god told adam and eve
00:02:16.048 --> 00:02:19.218
When god told adam and eve that, if they ate of the one
00:02:19.284 --> 00:02:21.987
When god told adam and eve that, if they ate of the one tree in the garden that
00:02:22.054 --> 00:02:23.088
That, if they ate of the one tree in the garden that he told them not to eat of,
00:02:23.155 --> 00:02:25.157
Tree in the garden that he told them not to eat of, that they would surely die.
00:02:25.224 --> 00:02:27.392
He told them not to eat of, that they would surely die. he didn't mean that they
00:02:27.459 --> 00:02:28.427
That they would surely die. he didn't mean that they would die physically.
00:02:28.493 --> 00:02:30.696
He didn't mean that they would die physically. matter of fact, adam lived
00:02:30.762 --> 00:02:32.364
Would die physically. matter of fact, adam lived to be over 900 years old.
00:02:32.431 --> 00:02:34.733
Matter of fact, adam lived to be over 900 years old. but he meant that they
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:35.701
To be over 900 years old. but he meant that they would die spiritually.
00:02:35.767 --> 00:02:38.370
When you're alive spiritually,
00:02:38.437 --> 00:02:41.073
When you're alive spiritually, you have received jesus christ
00:02:41.139 --> 00:02:42.741
When you're alive spiritually, you have received jesus christ as your savior.
00:02:42.808 --> 00:02:44.977
You have received jesus christ as your savior. you believe that he came
00:02:45.043 --> 00:02:46.912
As your savior. you believe that he came and died for your sins.
00:02:46.979 --> 00:02:48.880
You believe that he came and died for your sins. you believe he bore
00:02:48.947 --> 00:02:49.781
And died for your sins. you believe he bore your sins on the cross,
00:02:49.848 --> 00:02:50.749
You believe he bore your sins on the cross, he shed his blood for you,
00:02:50.816 --> 00:02:53.118
Your sins on the cross, he shed his blood for you, that he died, was buried
00:02:53.185 --> 00:02:55.854
He shed his blood for you, that he died, was buried for three days, and rose
00:02:55.921 --> 00:02:57.889
That he died, was buried for three days, and rose again from the dead.
00:02:57.956 --> 00:03:00.425
For three days, and rose again from the dead. you know, there's so many people
00:03:00.492 --> 00:03:01.860
Again from the dead. you know, there's so many people that believe in so many
00:03:01.927 --> 00:03:02.995
You know, there's so many people that believe in so many different things and people
00:03:03.061 --> 00:03:04.596
That believe in so many different things and people that believe in different--
00:03:04.663 --> 00:03:06.965
Different things and people that believe in different-- what they call gods,
00:03:07.032 --> 00:03:08.200
That believe in different-- what they call gods, although there is only one god.
00:03:08.267 --> 00:03:10.335
What they call gods, although there is only one god. but jesus is the only
00:03:10.402 --> 00:03:12.037
Although there is only one god. but jesus is the only one that's alive.
00:03:12.104 --> 00:03:14.740
But jesus is the only one that's alive. a lot of religions believe
00:03:14.806 --> 00:03:16.041
One that's alive. a lot of religions believe in people that died
00:03:16.108 --> 00:03:18.410
A lot of religions believe in people that died a long time ago.
00:03:18.477 --> 00:03:20.178
In people that died a long time ago. but our god is alive
00:03:20.245 --> 00:03:21.380
A long time ago. but our god is alive and he is seated at the right
00:03:21.446 --> 00:03:22.581
But our god is alive and he is seated at the right hand of the father.
00:03:22.648 --> 00:03:24.082
And he is seated at the right hand of the father. and you can be seated
00:03:24.149 --> 00:03:25.450
Hand of the father. and you can be seated with him, if you receive him
00:03:25.517 --> 00:03:28.654
And you can be seated with him, if you receive him as your lord and savior.
00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:30.455
With him, if you receive him as your lord and savior. and i say receive, because
00:03:30.522 --> 00:03:32.391
As your lord and savior. and i say receive, because it's not something you get.
00:03:32.457 --> 00:03:35.260
And i say receive, because it's not something you get. i don't wanna say to you today,
00:03:35.327 --> 00:03:36.762
It's not something you get. i don't wanna say to you today, “did you get saved?
00:03:36.828 --> 00:03:38.163
I don't wanna say to you today, “did you get saved? did you get born again?
00:03:38.230 --> 00:03:39.498
“did you get saved? did you get born again? no.
00:03:39.564 --> 00:03:40.132
Did you get born again? no. have you received christ?
00:03:40.198 --> 00:03:42.367
No. have you received christ? there's really nothing you have
00:03:42.434 --> 00:03:43.769
Have you received christ? there's really nothing you have to do except repent of your
00:03:43.835 --> 00:03:46.305
There's really nothing you have to do except repent of your sins, be willing to turn away
00:03:46.371 --> 00:03:49.541
To do except repent of your sins, be willing to turn away from a life of sin, and become
00:03:49.608 --> 00:03:51.510
Sins, be willing to turn away from a life of sin, and become a follower of jesus christ.
00:03:51.576 --> 00:03:54.379
And then you receive him.
00:03:54.446 --> 00:03:56.415
And then you receive him. the bible says that we are
00:03:56.481 --> 00:03:58.116
And then you receive him. the bible says that we are saved by grace through faith.
00:03:58.183 --> 00:04:02.721
The bible says that we are saved by grace through faith. faith is the hand that reaches
00:04:02.788 --> 00:04:04.089
Saved by grace through faith. faith is the hand that reaches out and simply receives what
00:04:04.156 --> 00:04:06.224
Faith is the hand that reaches out and simply receives what god gives us by his grace.
00:04:06.291 --> 00:04:08.860
Out and simply receives what god gives us by his grace. there is not one of us that
00:04:08.927 --> 00:04:10.062
God gives us by his grace. there is not one of us that deserved for jesus
00:04:10.128 --> 00:04:11.263
There is not one of us that deserved for jesus to die for us.
00:04:11.330 --> 00:04:12.264
Deserved for jesus to die for us. that means that
00:04:12.331 --> 00:04:14.933
To die for us. that means that we're all sinners.
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.368
That means that we're all sinners. sin must be punished in order
00:04:16.435 --> 00:04:18.403
We're all sinners. sin must be punished in order for there to be justice.
00:04:18.470 --> 00:04:19.738
Sin must be punished in order for there to be justice. sin must be punished.
00:04:19.805 --> 00:04:21.540
For there to be justice. sin must be punished. but instead of punishing us,
00:04:21.606 --> 00:04:22.641
Sin must be punished. but instead of punishing us, god sent his own son
00:04:22.708 --> 00:04:27.479
But instead of punishing us, god sent his own son to take our place.
00:04:27.546 --> 00:04:29.214
God sent his own son to take our place. that would be like if somebody
00:04:29.281 --> 00:04:30.449
To take our place. that would be like if somebody was a murderer and they were
00:04:30.515 --> 00:04:31.983
That would be like if somebody was a murderer and they were sentenced to life in prison,
00:04:32.050 --> 00:04:33.785
Was a murderer and they were sentenced to life in prison, and somebody said,
00:04:33.852 --> 00:04:34.619
Sentenced to life in prison, and somebody said, "well, i'm gonna take your
00:04:34.686 --> 00:04:35.620
And somebody said, "well, i'm gonna take your place and you can go free."
00:04:35.687 --> 00:04:38.323
"well, i'm gonna take your place and you can go free." why anyone would not want
00:04:38.390 --> 00:04:40.225
Place and you can go free." why anyone would not want to be born again or saved,
00:04:40.292 --> 00:04:42.260
Why anyone would not want to be born again or saved, is beyond me.
00:04:42.327 --> 00:04:43.829
To be born again or saved, is beyond me. a lot of times people think,
00:04:43.895 --> 00:04:45.597
Is beyond me. a lot of times people think, "well, my lifestyle would have
00:04:45.664 --> 00:04:48.200
A lot of times people think, "well, my lifestyle would have to change, and i don't wanna
00:04:48.266 --> 00:04:49.201
"well, my lifestyle would have to change, and i don't wanna give up this, and i don't
00:04:49.267 --> 00:04:50.168
To change, and i don't wanna give up this, and i don't wanna give up that,
00:04:50.235 --> 00:04:50.802
Give up this, and i don't wanna give up that, and i don't wanna give
00:04:50.869 --> 00:04:51.536
Wanna give up that, and i don't wanna give up something else."
00:04:51.603 --> 00:04:52.471
And i don't wanna give up something else." but to be honest, when you
00:04:52.537 --> 00:04:53.672
Up something else." but to be honest, when you receive christ as your savior,
00:04:53.739 --> 00:04:56.241
But to be honest, when you receive christ as your savior, your desires change.
00:04:56.308 --> 00:04:58.176
You don't have to worry about
00:04:58.243 --> 00:05:00.011
You don't have to worry about having to give things up.
00:05:00.078 --> 00:05:02.681
You don't have to worry about having to give things up. you will just start to have
00:05:02.748 --> 00:05:04.750
Having to give things up. you will just start to have new desires, and you're not
00:05:04.816 --> 00:05:06.118
You will just start to have new desires, and you're not gonna want to do those same
00:05:06.184 --> 00:05:08.553
New desires, and you're not gonna want to do those same old things that you used to do.
00:05:08.620 --> 00:05:09.688
Gonna want to do those same old things that you used to do. you might for a while,
00:05:09.755 --> 00:05:11.623
Old things that you used to do. you might for a while, but as you study god's word
00:05:11.690 --> 00:05:13.024
You might for a while, but as you study god's word and you develop a relationship
00:05:13.091 --> 00:05:14.359
But as you study god's word and you develop a relationship with him, that all changes.
00:05:14.426 --> 00:05:17.662
And you develop a relationship with him, that all changes. when we accept jesus into
00:05:17.729 --> 00:05:19.531
With him, that all changes. when we accept jesus into our heart, and it's by faith,
00:05:19.598 --> 00:05:22.000
When we accept jesus into our heart, and it's by faith, you may feel something,
00:05:22.067 --> 00:05:23.034
Our heart, and it's by faith, you may feel something, you may not feel anything.
00:05:23.101 --> 00:05:24.202
You may feel something, you may not feel anything. when i was born again
00:05:24.269 --> 00:05:25.170
You may not feel anything. when i was born again as a nine-year-old child, i felt
00:05:25.237 --> 00:05:27.139
When i was born again as a nine-year-old child, i felt like i had, had an inner bath.
00:05:27.205 --> 00:05:29.608
As a nine-year-old child, i felt like i had, had an inner bath. i felt like i had just been
00:05:29.674 --> 00:05:30.842
Like i had, had an inner bath. i felt like i had just been scrubbed clean on the inside.
00:05:30.909 --> 00:05:32.911
I felt like i had just been scrubbed clean on the inside. but, not understanding the word,
00:05:32.978 --> 00:05:35.113
Scrubbed clean on the inside. but, not understanding the word, the first time i did something
00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:36.081
But, not understanding the word, the first time i did something wrong, i thought i lost
00:05:36.148 --> 00:05:37.215
The first time i did something wrong, i thought i lost all that, but that's not true.
00:05:37.282 --> 00:05:39.584
Once you're saved, god has
00:05:39.651 --> 00:05:42.487
Once you're saved, god has to work with you through
00:05:42.554 --> 00:05:43.422
Once you're saved, god has to work with you through the power of the holy spirit
00:05:43.488 --> 00:05:44.956
To work with you through the power of the holy spirit all throughout your life,
00:05:45.023 --> 00:05:47.459
The power of the holy spirit all throughout your life, changing you into
00:05:47.526 --> 00:05:48.727
All throughout your life, changing you into the image of jesus christ.
00:05:48.794 --> 00:05:51.296
Changing you into the image of jesus christ. i'm still changing.
00:05:51.363 --> 00:05:52.364
The image of jesus christ. i'm still changing. everybody i know that is
00:05:52.431 --> 00:05:53.498
I'm still changing. everybody i know that is a christian is still changing,
00:05:53.565 --> 00:05:56.668
Everybody i know that is a christian is still changing, if they're serious about
00:05:56.735 --> 00:05:57.869
A christian is still changing, if they're serious about their relationship with god.
00:05:57.936 --> 00:06:00.839
If they're serious about their relationship with god. just for a minute, let me make
00:06:00.906 --> 00:06:02.407
Their relationship with god. just for a minute, let me make a difference between those
00:06:02.474 --> 00:06:03.642
Just for a minute, let me make a difference between those who are serious and those
00:06:03.708 --> 00:06:05.744
A difference between those who are serious and those who are just maybe putting
00:06:05.811 --> 00:06:07.078
Who are serious and those who are just maybe putting their time in, hoping that
00:06:07.145 --> 00:06:09.080
Who are just maybe putting their time in, hoping that if they go to church
00:06:09.147 --> 00:06:09.948
Their time in, hoping that if they go to church a few times a year,
00:06:10.015 --> 00:06:10.682
If they go to church a few times a year, they won't go to hell.
00:06:10.749 --> 00:06:12.350
A few times a year, they won't go to hell. i do not like it when i ask
00:06:12.417 --> 00:06:14.085
They won't go to hell. i do not like it when i ask somebody, "are you born again?"
00:06:14.152 --> 00:06:15.220
I do not like it when i ask somebody, "are you born again?" and they tell me what
00:06:15.287 --> 00:06:16.021
Somebody, "are you born again?" and they tell me what church they go to.
00:06:16.087 --> 00:06:17.022
And they tell me what church they go to. being born again is about
00:06:17.088 --> 00:06:18.423
Having a relationship.
00:06:18.490 --> 00:06:20.058
Having a relationship. now listen to me, a personal
00:06:20.125 --> 00:06:22.093
Having a relationship. now listen to me, a personal relationship with god.
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:26.331
Now listen to me, a personal relationship with god. he created you in your mother's
00:06:26.398 --> 00:06:27.732
Relationship with god. he created you in your mother's womb with his own hand,
00:06:27.799 --> 00:06:28.900
He created you in your mother's womb with his own hand, carefully and intricately.
00:06:28.967 --> 00:06:31.603
Womb with his own hand, carefully and intricately. he knows every thought you're
00:06:31.670 --> 00:06:33.104
Carefully and intricately. he knows every thought you're gonna think before you think it.
00:06:33.171 --> 00:06:34.473
He knows every word you're
00:06:34.539 --> 00:06:35.540
He knows every word you're gonna speak before you speak it.
00:06:35.607 --> 00:06:38.243
He knows every word you're gonna speak before you speak it. he has a good plan laid out for
00:06:38.310 --> 00:06:40.178
Gonna speak before you speak it. he has a good plan laid out for your life, and you are the only
00:06:40.245 --> 00:06:43.348
He has a good plan laid out for your life, and you are the only one that can mess it up.
00:06:43.415 --> 00:06:44.916
Your life, and you are the only one that can mess it up. no matter what anybody
00:06:44.983 --> 00:06:45.917
One that can mess it up. no matter what anybody else does, god can redeem
00:06:45.984 --> 00:06:48.753
No matter what anybody else does, god can redeem you from any hurt, from any
00:06:48.820 --> 00:06:50.455
Else does, god can redeem you from any hurt, from any injustice, and you can have
00:06:50.522 --> 00:06:53.492
You from any hurt, from any injustice, and you can have a wonderful life.
00:06:53.558 --> 00:06:57.496
Injustice, and you can have a wonderful life. so don't think that it's what
00:06:57.562 --> 00:06:58.730
A wonderful life. so don't think that it's what you do that saves you.
00:06:58.797 --> 00:07:00.065
So don't think that it's what you do that saves you. it's not.
00:07:00.131 --> 00:07:00.699
You do that saves you. it's not. it's what jesus did
00:07:00.765 --> 00:07:02.300
It's not. it's what jesus did that saves you.
00:07:02.367 --> 00:07:03.902
It's what jesus did that saves you. when we accept jesus into our
00:07:03.969 --> 00:07:05.871
That saves you. when we accept jesus into our heart, our sins are forgiven.
00:07:05.937 --> 00:07:10.442
When we accept jesus into our heart, our sins are forgiven. think about this with me.
00:07:10.509 --> 00:07:12.277
Heart, our sins are forgiven. think about this with me. our sins are forgiven,
00:07:12.344 --> 00:07:13.612
Think about this with me. our sins are forgiven, completely forgiven.
00:07:13.678 --> 00:07:16.715
They are forgotten by god.
00:07:16.781 --> 00:07:19.417
They are forgotten by god. the bible says he remembers
00:07:19.484 --> 00:07:20.952
They are forgotten by god. the bible says he remembers our sin no more.
00:07:21.019 --> 00:07:24.122
The bible says he remembers our sin no more. now, i'll be honest with you,
00:07:24.189 --> 00:07:25.557
It takes a while to believe
00:07:25.624 --> 00:07:26.758
It takes a while to believe some of these things because
00:07:26.825 --> 00:07:27.826
It takes a while to believe some of these things because they're so wonderful.
00:07:27.893 --> 00:07:29.127
Some of these things because they're so wonderful. you think, "how can that be?"
00:07:29.194 --> 00:07:32.297
They're so wonderful. you think, "how can that be?" but see, once you're born again,
00:07:32.364 --> 00:07:34.099
You think, "how can that be?" but see, once you're born again, if you do sin,
00:07:34.165 --> 00:07:36.568
But see, once you're born again, if you do sin, which you still will,
00:07:36.635 --> 00:07:39.704
If you do sin, which you still will, you'll recognize it right away.
00:07:39.771 --> 00:07:41.106
Which you still will, you'll recognize it right away. the holy spirit will convict
00:07:41.172 --> 00:07:42.440
You'll recognize it right away. the holy spirit will convict you, and you can repent,
00:07:42.507 --> 00:07:46.478
The holy spirit will convict you, and you can repent, tell god you're sorry,
00:07:46.545 --> 00:07:47.746
You, and you can repent, tell god you're sorry, and ask him to help you
00:07:47.812 --> 00:07:49.047
Tell god you're sorry, and ask him to help you not to do it again.
00:07:49.114 --> 00:07:50.148
And god immediately--
00:07:50.215 --> 00:07:51.349
And god immediately-- immediately forgives you,
00:07:51.416 --> 00:07:53.618
And god immediately-- immediately forgives you, and he forgets the sin.
00:07:53.685 --> 00:07:56.021
Immediately forgives you, and he forgets the sin. the bible says, "removes
00:07:56.087 --> 00:07:56.955
And he forgets the sin. the bible says, "removes it as far as the east
00:07:57.022 --> 00:07:57.989
The bible says, "removes it as far as the east is from the west,
00:07:58.056 --> 00:07:59.391
It as far as the east is from the west, and remembers it no more."
00:07:59.457 --> 00:08:04.529
I remember when
00:08:04.596 --> 00:08:05.063
I remember when i was in my twenties.
00:08:05.130 --> 00:08:08.233
I remember when i was in my twenties. i used to kneel down by the bed
00:08:08.300 --> 00:08:09.834
I was in my twenties. i used to kneel down by the bed every night before i went
00:08:09.901 --> 00:08:10.969
I used to kneel down by the bed every night before i went to sleep, and i prayed the same
00:08:11.036 --> 00:08:13.872
Every night before i went to sleep, and i prayed the same prayer every night.
00:08:13.939 --> 00:08:15.941
To sleep, and i prayed the same prayer every night. "father, forgive me for
00:08:16.007 --> 00:08:16.875
Prayer every night. "father, forgive me for my sins," and i had certain
00:08:16.942 --> 00:08:19.411
"father, forgive me for my sins," and i had certain sins in mind.
00:08:19.477 --> 00:08:21.146
My sins," and i had certain sins in mind. “and help me be a good wife
00:08:21.212 --> 00:08:23.949
Sins in mind. “and help me be a good wife and a good mother.
00:08:24.015 --> 00:08:24.683
“and help me be a good wife and a good mother. but most of all help
00:08:24.749 --> 00:08:25.584
And a good mother. but most of all help me be a good christian.
00:08:25.650 --> 00:08:26.651
But most of all help me be a good christian. because i know if i can do that,
00:08:26.718 --> 00:08:27.986
Me be a good christian. because i know if i can do that, then everything else
00:08:28.053 --> 00:08:28.620
Because i know if i can do that, then everything else will work out alright.”
00:08:28.687 --> 00:08:30.422
Then everything else will work out alright.” and i prayed that same
00:08:30.488 --> 00:08:31.323
Will work out alright.” and i prayed that same prayer every night.
00:08:31.389 --> 00:08:33.458
And i prayed that same prayer every night. and one night i heard god speak
00:08:33.525 --> 00:08:35.827
Prayer every night. and one night i heard god speak to me, which i wasn't accustomed
00:08:35.894 --> 00:08:37.729
And one night i heard god speak to me, which i wasn't accustomed to, although he does want
00:08:37.796 --> 00:08:40.231
To me, which i wasn't accustomed to, although he does want to speak with us all the time,
00:08:40.298 --> 00:08:41.466
To, although he does want to speak with us all the time, and i've learned that now.
00:08:41.533 --> 00:08:42.567
To speak with us all the time, and i've learned that now. but i heard in my heart
00:08:42.634 --> 00:08:45.604
And i've learned that now. but i heard in my heart very plainly, "i forgave you
00:08:45.670 --> 00:08:47.005
But i heard in my heart very plainly, "i forgave you the first time you asked me.
00:08:47.072 --> 00:08:49.240
Very plainly, "i forgave you the first time you asked me. now, you have to receive
00:08:49.307 --> 00:08:50.575
The first time you asked me. now, you have to receive the forgiveness."
00:08:50.642 --> 00:08:52.444
Now, you have to receive the forgiveness." or another way of saying it,
00:08:52.510 --> 00:08:53.678
The forgiveness." or another way of saying it, which is not my favorite way,
00:08:53.745 --> 00:08:54.980
Or another way of saying it, which is not my favorite way, but it gets the point across,
00:08:55.046 --> 00:08:56.047
Which is not my favorite way, but it gets the point across, is you have to forgive yourself.
00:08:56.114 --> 00:08:58.216
But it gets the point across, is you have to forgive yourself. you have to receive
00:08:58.283 --> 00:08:59.284
Is you have to forgive yourself. you have to receive the forgiveness that
00:08:59.351 --> 00:08:59.918
You have to receive the forgiveness that god gives you.
00:08:59.985 --> 00:09:00.719
The forgiveness that god gives you. and then the good news is,
00:09:00.785 --> 00:09:02.220
God gives you. and then the good news is, is there's no more condemnation.
00:09:02.287 --> 00:09:06.124
And then the good news is, is there's no more condemnation. you don't have to carry
00:09:06.191 --> 00:09:07.392
Is there's no more condemnation. you don't have to carry the guilt.
00:09:07.459 --> 00:09:08.093
You don't have to carry the guilt. when jesus bore your sins,
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:09.794
The guilt. when jesus bore your sins, he also bore the guilt.
00:09:09.861 --> 00:09:12.664
When jesus bore your sins, he also bore the guilt. and i had a huge problem
00:09:12.731 --> 00:09:13.999
He also bore the guilt. and i had a huge problem with guilt.
00:09:14.065 --> 00:09:14.733
And i had a huge problem with guilt. and i would imagine that there
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:16.001
With guilt. and i would imagine that there are hundreds of thousands
00:09:16.067 --> 00:09:17.769
And i would imagine that there are hundreds of thousands of people watching right now,
00:09:17.836 --> 00:09:20.305
Are hundreds of thousands of people watching right now, that you're still feeling guilty
00:09:20.372 --> 00:09:21.806
Of people watching right now, that you're still feeling guilty for things that god forgave
00:09:21.873 --> 00:09:23.174
That you're still feeling guilty for things that god forgave you for a long time ago,
00:09:23.241 --> 00:09:25.443
For things that god forgave you for a long time ago, but you need to receive it.
00:09:25.510 --> 00:09:28.813
When we believe that he was
00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:30.048
When we believe that he was punished and died for our sins,
00:09:30.115 --> 00:09:33.451
When we believe that he was punished and died for our sins, was buried and rose again
00:09:33.518 --> 00:09:34.786
Punished and died for our sins, was buried and rose again after three days, and is seated
00:09:34.853 --> 00:09:38.323
Was buried and rose again after three days, and is seated at the right hand of god,
00:09:38.390 --> 00:09:39.858
After three days, and is seated at the right hand of god, the bible says in romans 10:9,
00:09:39.924 --> 00:09:41.593
At the right hand of god, the bible says in romans 10:9, “that if you confess with
00:09:41.660 --> 00:09:42.594
The bible says in romans 10:9, “that if you confess with your mouth the lord jesus
00:09:42.661 --> 00:09:46.564
“that if you confess with your mouth the lord jesus and believe in your heart that
00:09:46.631 --> 00:09:49.067
Your mouth the lord jesus and believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead,
00:09:49.134 --> 00:09:51.569
And believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
00:09:51.636 --> 00:09:53.905
God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” so, there's two things here,
00:09:53.972 --> 00:09:54.939
You will be saved.” so, there's two things here, it's saying to believe,
00:09:55.006 --> 00:09:57.208
And to confess it with

And to confess it with your mouth.
00:09:58.109 --> 00:09:59.444
And to confess it with your mouth. why is it important
00:09:59.511 --> 00:10:00.378
Your mouth. why is it important to confess it?
00:10:00.445 --> 00:10:01.246
Why is it important to confess it? it's because that kinda like
00:10:01.312 --> 00:10:04.382
To confess it? it's because that kinda like makes it real in this realm.
00:10:04.449 --> 00:10:07.085
It's because that kinda like makes it real in this realm. and you know,
00:10:07.152 --> 00:10:07.552
Makes it real in this realm. and you know, we do have an enemy.
00:10:07.619 --> 00:10:09.888
And you know, we do have an enemy. he's called by many different
00:10:09.954 --> 00:10:10.989
We do have an enemy. he's called by many different names in the bible:

He's called by many different names in the bible: lucifer, satan, the evil one,

Names in the bible: lucifer, satan, the evil one, the father of all lies.
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.996
Lucifer, satan, the evil one, the father of all lies. and he comes against us.
00:10:18.063 --> 00:10:21.166
The father of all lies. and he comes against us. but making that declaration,
00:10:21.232 --> 00:10:22.667
And he comes against us. but making that declaration, “i accept jesus christ

But making that declaration, “i accept jesus christ as my lord and savior.

“i accept jesus christ as my lord and savior. i believe that he died for me.
00:10:25.637 --> 00:10:27.972
As my lord and savior. i believe that he died for me. i believe he rose
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:29.507
I believe that he died for me. i believe he rose from the dead.”
00:10:29.574 --> 00:10:30.842
I believe he rose from the dead.” that lets the enemy
00:10:30.909 --> 00:10:32.944
From the dead.” that lets the enemy know where you stand.
00:10:33.011 --> 00:10:35.213
That lets the enemy know where you stand. and actually, as soon as you're
00:10:35.280 --> 00:10:38.316
Know where you stand. and actually, as soon as you're saved, i really encourage you
00:10:38.383 --> 00:10:42.654
And actually, as soon as you're saved, i really encourage you to get baptized in water
00:10:42.721 --> 00:10:45.290
Saved, i really encourage you to get baptized in water as quick as you can.
00:10:45.356 --> 00:10:46.424
To get baptized in water as quick as you can. now maybe you don't even
00:10:46.491 --> 00:10:47.425
As quick as you can. now maybe you don't even understand what that is,
00:10:47.492 --> 00:10:48.426
Now maybe you don't even understand what that is, but baptism is something
00:10:48.493 --> 00:10:51.296
Understand what that is, but baptism is something that's very important.
00:10:51.362 --> 00:10:52.630
But baptism is something that's very important. your--people say, "i baptize you
00:10:52.697 --> 00:10:56.901
That's very important. your--people say, "i baptize you in the name of the father,
00:10:56.968 --> 00:10:57.769
Your--people say, "i baptize you in the name of the father, son, and the holy ghost,"
00:10:57.836 --> 00:10:58.670
In the name of the father, son, and the holy ghost," and they put you under
00:10:58.737 --> 00:10:59.504
Son, and the holy ghost," and they put you under the water, and then they
00:10:59.571 --> 00:11:01.172
And they put you under the water, and then they bring you back up.
00:11:01.239 --> 00:11:02.507
The water, and then they bring you back up. and when you go under,
00:11:02.574 --> 00:11:03.408
Bring you back up. and when you go under, it signifies the burying
00:11:03.475 --> 00:11:05.043
And when you go under, it signifies the burying of the old life.
00:11:05.110 --> 00:11:06.711
It signifies the burying of the old life. and when you come out,
00:11:06.778 --> 00:11:07.812
Of the old life. and when you come out, it signifies being raised
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.616
And when you come out, it signifies being raised to a brand-new life.
00:11:11.683 --> 00:11:12.951
And that's what happens.
00:11:13.017 --> 00:11:15.553
And that's what happens. “old things pass away,
00:11:15.620 --> 00:11:17.088
And that's what happens. “old things pass away, and all things become new.”
00:11:17.155 --> 00:11:18.823
“old things pass away, and all things become new.” there again, when the enemy
00:11:18.890 --> 00:11:20.525
Sees that, he knows what
00:11:20.592 --> 00:11:23.495
Sees that, he knows what your intention is, that
00:11:23.561 --> 00:11:24.496
Sees that, he knows what your intention is, that you're gonna live for god.
00:11:24.562 --> 00:11:27.298
Your intention is, that you're gonna live for god. being a christian means
00:11:27.365 --> 00:11:28.466
You're gonna live for god. being a christian means to be a follower of christ.
00:11:28.533 --> 00:11:31.536
Being a christian means to be a follower of christ. it's so much more than just
00:11:31.603 --> 00:11:33.438
To be a follower of christ. it's so much more than just going to a building and sitting
00:11:33.505 --> 00:11:34.873
It's so much more than just going to a building and sitting there once a week and thinking
00:11:34.939 --> 00:11:37.442
Going to a building and sitting there once a week and thinking that, "now, i'm okay."
00:11:37.509 --> 00:11:41.446
There once a week and thinking that, "now, i'm okay." there's a life that god
00:11:41.513 --> 00:11:42.781
That, "now, i'm okay." there's a life that god has for you.
00:11:42.847 --> 00:11:44.015
There's a life that god has for you. he's got such a good life
00:11:44.082 --> 00:11:45.383
Has for you. he's got such a good life already planned for you,
00:11:45.450 --> 00:11:46.785
He's got such a good life already planned for you, that you might walk in it.
00:11:46.851 --> 00:11:48.319
Already planned for you, that you might walk in it. oh, there's something
00:11:48.386 --> 00:11:49.087
That you might walk in it. oh, there's something for you to do.
00:11:49.154 --> 00:11:49.954
Oh, there's something for you to do. we're partners with god.
00:11:50.021 --> 00:11:51.856
For you to do. we're partners with god. there's a part that only
00:11:51.923 --> 00:11:52.724
We're partners with god. there's a part that only he can do, but there's a part
00:11:52.791 --> 00:11:54.993
There's a part that only he can do, but there's a part that only we can do.
00:11:55.059 --> 00:11:56.661
He can do, but there's a part that only we can do. and i always say we can't do his
00:11:56.728 --> 00:11:58.263
That only we can do. and i always say we can't do his part, and he won't do our part.
00:11:58.329 --> 00:12:01.833
And i always say we can't do his part, and he won't do our part. "faith without works is dead."
00:12:01.900 --> 00:12:04.202
We receive by faith, but then
00:12:04.269 --> 00:12:06.671
We receive by faith, but then the bible says, "...to work out
00:12:06.738 --> 00:12:08.239
We receive by faith, but then the bible says, "...to work out your salvation with fear
00:12:08.306 --> 00:12:10.241
The bible says, "...to work out your salvation with fear and trembling."
00:12:10.308 --> 00:12:10.875
Your salvation with fear and trembling." well, what in the world
00:12:10.942 --> 00:12:11.709
And trembling." well, what in the world does that mean?
00:12:11.776 --> 00:12:12.177
Well, what in the world does that mean? if we're saved by grace,
00:12:12.243 --> 00:12:13.912
Does that mean? if we're saved by grace, then we can't be saved by works,
00:12:13.978 --> 00:12:16.548
If we're saved by grace, then we can't be saved by works, which ephesians 2:8 and 9 says.
00:12:16.614 --> 00:12:18.183
Then we can't be saved by works, which ephesians 2:8 and 9 says. then what does it mean
00:12:18.249 --> 00:12:19.317
Which ephesians 2:8 and 9 says. then what does it mean to work out your salvation?
00:12:19.384 --> 00:12:21.219
Well, when you're born again,
00:12:21.286 --> 00:12:22.187
Well, when you're born again, what happens to you happens
00:12:22.253 --> 00:12:23.421
Well, when you're born again, what happens to you happens deep inside you in your spirit,
00:12:23.488 --> 00:12:26.324
What happens to you happens deep inside you in your spirit, but it has to be worked
00:12:26.391 --> 00:12:27.425
Deep inside you in your spirit, but it has to be worked out of you.
00:12:27.492 --> 00:12:29.360
But it has to be worked out of you. your soul has to be healed,
00:12:29.427 --> 00:12:30.695
Out of you. your soul has to be healed, which is your mind, your will,
00:12:30.762 --> 00:12:31.696
Your soul has to be healed, which is your mind, your will, and your emotions.
00:12:31.763 --> 00:12:32.764
Which is your mind, your will, and your emotions. one of the first things you
00:12:32.831 --> 00:12:33.798
And your emotions. one of the first things you need to do when you're
00:12:33.865 --> 00:12:34.933
One of the first things you need to do when you're born again is learn how
00:12:34.999 --> 00:12:36.401
Need to do when you're born again is learn how to think the way god thinks.
00:12:36.467 --> 00:12:39.137
Born again is learn how to think the way god thinks. and we don't think
00:12:39.204 --> 00:12:40.004
To think the way god thinks. and we don't think the way god thinks.
00:12:40.071 --> 00:12:41.372
And we don't think the way god thinks. we think all the junk that
00:12:41.439 --> 00:12:42.807
The way god thinks. we think all the junk that the devil has put in our
00:12:42.874 --> 00:12:43.808
We think all the junk that the devil has put in our head for years and years.
00:12:43.875 --> 00:12:46.444
The devil has put in our head for years and years. and you think the devil
00:12:46.511 --> 00:12:47.212
Head for years and years. and you think the devil don't talk to you?
00:12:47.278 --> 00:12:48.513
Well, he talked to eve
00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:49.414
Well, he talked to eve in the garden of eden.
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.516
Well, he talked to eve in the garden of eden. he talked to jesus when he was
00:12:51.583 --> 00:12:53.551
In the garden of eden. he talked to jesus when he was taken into the wilderness
00:12:53.618 --> 00:12:54.786
He talked to jesus when he was taken into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil
00:12:54.853 --> 00:12:56.955
Taken into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil 40 days and 40 nights.
00:12:57.021 --> 00:12:58.323
To be tempted by the devil 40 days and 40 nights. that's in luke chapter 4.
00:12:58.389 --> 00:13:01.593
40 days and 40 nights. that's in luke chapter 4. yes, he talked to judas
00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:04.829
That's in luke chapter 4. yes, he talked to judas to get him to betray jesus.
00:13:04.896 --> 00:13:07.131
Yes, he talked to judas to get him to betray jesus. he talked to peter
00:13:07.198 --> 00:13:09.334
To get him to betray jesus. he talked to peter to get him to deny jesus.
00:13:09.400 --> 00:13:12.637
He talked to peter to get him to deny jesus. but he talks to us in our mind.
00:13:12.704 --> 00:13:13.938
To get him to deny jesus. but he talks to us in our mind. he puts thoughts in our mind.
00:13:14.005 --> 00:13:15.573
But he talks to us in our mind. he puts thoughts in our mind. and we have to know god's word,
00:13:15.640 --> 00:13:17.675
Because if we don't, we don't
00:13:17.742 --> 00:13:18.943
Because if we don't, we don't know when we're hearing lies.
00:13:19.010 --> 00:13:20.845
Because if we don't, we don't know when we're hearing lies. and chances are, right now,
00:13:20.912 --> 00:13:22.580
Know when we're hearing lies. and chances are, right now, if you're not born again,
00:13:22.647 --> 00:13:25.917
And chances are, right now, if you're not born again, most of what you believe
00:13:25.984 --> 00:13:27.118
If you're not born again, most of what you believe may be lies.
00:13:27.185 --> 00:13:28.820
And you probably believe a whole
00:13:28.887 --> 00:13:30.421
And you probably believe a whole lot of bad stuff about yourself,
00:13:30.488 --> 00:13:32.357
And you probably believe a whole lot of bad stuff about yourself, that god's already
00:13:32.423 --> 00:13:33.224
Lot of bad stuff about yourself, that god's already taken care of.
00:13:33.291 --> 00:13:35.193
That god's already taken care of. so, the way you work out
00:13:35.260 --> 00:13:37.295
Taken care of. so, the way you work out your salvation is by learning
00:13:37.362 --> 00:13:40.298
So, the way you work out your salvation is by learning the word of god.
00:13:40.365 --> 00:13:42.233
Your salvation is by learning the word of god. and let me be honest with you,
00:13:42.300 --> 00:13:43.434
The word of god. and let me be honest with you, you can go to some churches
00:13:43.501 --> 00:13:45.436
And let me be honest with you, you can go to some churches for 20 years, and never learn
00:13:45.503 --> 00:13:47.772
You can go to some churches for 20 years, and never learn very much about the word of god.
00:13:47.839 --> 00:13:50.742
For 20 years, and never learn very much about the word of god. you may learn a lot about
00:13:50.808 --> 00:13:51.809
Very much about the word of god. you may learn a lot about that church's doctrine,
00:13:51.876 --> 00:13:53.278
Which is important.
00:13:53.344 --> 00:13:55.113
Which is important. doctrine is what we base
00:13:55.179 --> 00:13:56.180
Which is important. doctrine is what we base our faith on.
00:13:56.247 --> 00:13:56.881
Doctrine is what we base our faith on. it's important to understand
00:13:56.948 --> 00:13:59.717
Our faith on. it's important to understand what those things are
00:13:59.784 --> 00:14:00.551
It's important to understand what those things are and what they mean.
00:14:00.618 --> 00:14:01.719
What those things are and what they mean. but we also have to apply
00:14:01.786 --> 00:14:06.157
And what they mean. but we also have to apply the word of god in our
00:14:06.224 --> 00:14:07.625
But we also have to apply the word of god in our everyday lives.
00:14:07.692 --> 00:14:09.060
The word of god in our everyday lives. and in order for that to happen,
00:14:09.127 --> 00:14:10.962
Everyday lives. and in order for that to happen, we need to hear teaching
00:14:11.029 --> 00:14:14.632
And in order for that to happen, we need to hear teaching and read books that help
00:14:14.699 --> 00:14:16.267
We need to hear teaching and read books that help us learn how to apply
00:14:16.334 --> 00:14:20.338
And read books that help us learn how to apply the word in our daily lives.
00:14:20.405 --> 00:14:22.840
Us learn how to apply the word in our daily lives. and some of it, yes, is harder
00:14:22.907 --> 00:14:24.342
The word in our daily lives. and some of it, yes, is harder to understand than other parts.
00:14:24.409 --> 00:14:26.244
And some of it, yes, is harder to understand than other parts. but there are so many different

Somebody that you made a commitment to christ.
00:15:50.661 --> 00:15:52.063
A commitment to christ. it kinda doubles down

00:16:08.546 --> 00:16:12.583
“became sin.” he didn't just take our sin, he became sin. on that cross, he actually
00:16:12.650 --> 00:16:14.152
Take our sin, he became sin. on that cross, he actually killed sin, because he had
00:16:14.218 --> 00:16:16.854
On that cross, he actually killed sin, because he had lived a perfect life.
00:16:16.921 --> 00:16:18.256
Killed sin, because he had lived a perfect life. he followed all the laws,
00:16:18.322 --> 00:16:21.692
Lived a perfect life. he followed all the laws, and so, crucifying him was
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.829
He followed all the laws, and so, crucifying him was illegal, because he had
00:16:24.896 --> 00:16:26.264
And so, crucifying him was illegal, because he had done it all just right.
00:16:26.330 --> 00:16:28.132
Illegal, because he had done it all just right. so, he killed the power
00:16:28.199 --> 00:16:29.434

00:16:32.303 --> 00:16:34.138
Of sin there on the cross. “he that knew no sin became sin; that we might be made the
00:16:34.205 --> 00:16:35.239
“he that knew no sin became sin; that we might be made the righteousness of god in him.”
00:16:35.306 --> 00:16:39.277
That we might be made the righteousness of god in him.” well, see, before you're saved,
00:16:39.343 --> 00:16:41.712
Righteousness of god in him.” well, see, before you're saved, you're wrong with god.
00:16:41.779 --> 00:16:43.047
Well, see, before you're saved, you're wrong with god. everything is wrong.
00:16:43.114 --> 00:16:43.981
You're wrong with god. everything is wrong. you're doing everything wrong.
00:16:44.048 --> 00:16:44.949
Everything is wrong. you're doing everything wrong. you believe wrong.

You're doing everything wrong. you believe wrong. you act wrong.
00:16:46.250 --> 00:16:48.286
You believe wrong. you act wrong. but the first thing god
00:16:48.352 --> 00:16:49.420
You act wrong. but the first thing god gives you is rightness.
00:16:49.487 --> 00:16:50.721
But the first thing god gives you is rightness. i like to--it's righteousness,
00:16:50.788 --> 00:16:52.723
Gives you is rightness. i like to--it's righteousness, but i like to say rightness,
00:16:52.790 --> 00:16:54.092
I like to--it's righteousness, but i like to say rightness, because it's important for you
00:16:54.158 --> 00:16:57.228
But i like to say rightness, because it's important for you to realize that you now have
00:16:57.295 --> 00:16:59.430
Because it's important for you to realize that you now have righteousness on the inside
00:16:59.497 --> 00:17:00.898
To realize that you now have righteousness on the inside of you, which means that you
00:17:00.965 --> 00:17:02.767
Righteousness on the inside of you, which means that you can learn to do things right.
00:17:02.834 --> 00:17:06.337
Of you, which means that you can learn to do things right. one of the things i love
00:17:06.404 --> 00:17:07.672
Can learn to do things right. one of the things i love about the lord is that
00:17:07.738 --> 00:17:08.673
One of the things i love about the lord is that he never expects me to do
00:17:08.739 --> 00:17:09.941
About the lord is that he never expects me to do something without giving
00:17:10.007 --> 00:17:11.642
He never expects me to do something without giving me the ability to do it.
00:17:11.709 --> 00:17:13.177
Something without giving me the ability to do it. and so, when he makes
00:17:13.244 --> 00:17:14.312
Me the ability to do it. and so, when he makes us right with him, that gives
00:17:14.378 --> 00:17:16.114
And so, when he makes us right with him, that gives us the ability to eventually
00:17:16.180 --> 00:17:17.882
Us right with him, that gives us the ability to eventually learn how to behave right.
00:17:17.949 --> 00:17:19.784
Us the ability to eventually learn how to behave right. and that's how we work out
00:17:19.851 --> 00:17:21.052
Learn how to behave right. and that's how we work out our salvation.
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:22.286
And that's how we work out our salvation. but i do wanna tell you very
00:17:22.353 --> 00:17:23.621
Our salvation. but i do wanna tell you very clearly, you will never work out
00:17:23.688 --> 00:17:26.324
But i do wanna tell you very clearly, you will never work out your salvation if you don't
00:17:26.390 --> 00:17:28.059
Clearly, you will never work out your salvation if you don't make a commitment to learn
00:17:28.126 --> 00:17:29.527
Your salvation if you don't make a commitment to learn the word of god.
00:17:29.594 --> 00:17:30.761
Make a commitment to learn the word of god. because the only way
00:17:30.828 --> 00:17:31.429
The word of god. because the only way you're gonna know when
00:17:31.496 --> 00:17:32.063
Because the only way you're gonna know when satan is lying to you,
00:17:32.130 --> 00:17:33.564
You're gonna know when satan is lying to you, is to know the word.
00:17:33.631 --> 00:17:35.600

00:17:35.666 --> 00:17:38.803
Is to know the word. in 2 corinthians 5:17, it says, "therefore,
00:17:38.870 --> 00:17:39.570

00:17:39.637 --> 00:17:42.640
It says, "therefore, if any person is in christ, he is a new creation."
00:17:42.707 --> 00:17:44.442

He is a new creation." see, when you're born again, you're made brand new.
00:17:45.409 --> 00:17:47.645
See, when you're born again, you're made brand new. now, that doesn't mean
00:17:47.712 --> 00:17:48.346
You're made brand new. now, that doesn't mean if you're bald you grow hair,
00:17:48.412 --> 00:17:49.614
Now, that doesn't mean if you're bald you grow hair, or if you don't like the shape
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:55.353

00:17:55.419 --> 00:17:57.555
Or if you don't like the shape of your nose, it changes. it means that inside

Of your nose, it changes. it means that inside you become a new creature.
00:17:59.257 --> 00:18:00.057

In your spirit, you're now alive in your spirit. and you may or may not feel
00:18:20.178 --> 00:18:23.814
Something, but you take
00:18:23.881 --> 00:18:24.782
Something, but you take it by faith, and then you will
00:18:24.849 --> 00:18:26.350
Something, but you take it by faith, and then you will begin to see differences

Begin to see differences in you, in your desires. you might be watching a movie
00:18:31.455 --> 00:18:32.757
In you, in your desires. you might be watching a movie that you would've been very
00:18:32.823 --> 00:18:33.691

Now that doesn't mean you never sin, but you have a new identity.
00:20:05.549 --> 00:20:06.917
