Okay, jesus is coming back someday to get us. so, if you're born again,

Someday to get us. so, if you're born again, we're all at the same place.
00:11:59.975 --> 00:12:01.610
So, if you're born again, we're all at the same place. we've all got all these things
00:12:01.677 --> 00:12:03.112
We're all at the same place. we've all got all these things that god says we have.
00:12:03.179 --> 00:12:04.079
We've all got all these things that god says we have. they're ours.
00:12:04.146 --> 00:12:05.314
And that's the way god sees us,
00:12:05.781 --> 00:12:06.949
And that's the way god sees us, through christ.
00:12:07.016 --> 00:12:08.918
And that's the way god sees us, through christ. the bible even says
00:12:08.984 --> 00:12:09.785
Through christ. the bible even says when he died, we died.
00:12:09.852 --> 00:12:12.121
The bible even says when he died, we died. when he was raised,
00:12:12.188 --> 00:12:12.988
When he died, we died. when he was raised, we were raised.
00:12:13.055 --> 00:12:14.657
When he was raised, we were raised. i'm here, but i'm also there.

00:12:37.646 --> 00:12:40.716
That's why when you go before god in prayer, the bible says, "the prayer of a righteous man,"
00:12:40.783 --> 00:12:42.084
God in prayer, the bible says, "the prayer of a righteous man," you think, "well, i'm not that."
00:12:42.151 --> 00:12:43.385
"the prayer of a righteous man," you think, "well, i'm not that." well, yes, you are,

Well, yes, you are, because the bible says you are. see, god never expects you
00:12:48.357 --> 00:12:49.758
Because the bible says you are. see, god never expects you to produce anything that
00:12:49.825 --> 00:12:51.160
See, god never expects you to produce anything that he doesn't give you the material
00:12:51.227 --> 00:12:52.895
To produce anything that he doesn't give you the material to produce it with.
00:12:52.962 --> 00:12:53.996
He doesn't give you the material to produce it with. so how could he expect
00:12:54.063 --> 00:12:55.431
To produce it with. so how could he expect me to do right, if he didn't
00:12:55.497 --> 00:12:57.266
