- 00:03:07.443 --> 00:03:10.079
- That he works good out of bad things is by helping us learn not to do that again.
- 00:03:10.146 --> 00:03:15.585

- 00:03:26.429 --> 00:03:27.463

- 00:03:27.530 --> 00:03:30.500
- "there's one thing i do--" now, somebody like paul, who wrote two thirds
- 00:03:30.566 --> 00:03:31.301
- Now, somebody like paul, who wrote two thirds of the new testament,
- 00:03:31.367 --> 00:03:32.235

- 00:03:41.244 --> 00:03:42.512
- It's like, "okay." if there's just one thing that's that important to paul,
- 00:03:42.578 --> 00:03:43.513
- If there's just one thing that's that important to paul, i sure wanna know what it is.

- 00:03:54.991 --> 00:03:55.591
- Obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal--"
- 00:03:55.658 --> 00:03:56.926
- Or have already arrived at my goal--" and he was talking about
- 00:03:56.993 --> 00:03:57.960
- Arrived at my goal--" and he was talking about pressing toward perfection.
- 00:03:58.027 --> 00:04:00.330
- And he was talking about pressing toward perfection. "but i press on to take hold
- 00:04:00.396 --> 00:04:03.966
- Pressing toward perfection. "but i press on to take hold of that for which christ

- "but i press on to take hold of that for which christ jesus has taken hold of me."
- 00:04:05.168 --> 00:04:08.871
- Of that for which christ jesus has taken hold of me." he says, "i want--everything
- 00:04:08.938 --> 00:04:11.341
- Jesus has taken hold of me." he says, "i want--everything that jesus died to give me,
- 00:04:11.407 --> 00:04:13.409
- He says, "i want--everything that jesus died to give me, i want it."
- 00:04:13.476 --> 00:04:15.011

- 00:04:15.078 --> 00:04:17.914

- I don't consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. but one thing i do--"
- 00:04:22.418 --> 00:04:24.153
- Yet to have taken hold of it. but one thing i do--" here it comes.
- 00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:25.288
- But one thing i do--" here it comes. "forgetting what is behind
- 00:04:25.355 --> 00:04:27.990
- Here it comes. "forgetting what is behind and straining forward
- 00:04:28.057 --> 00:04:29.492
- "forgetting what is behind and straining forward to what is ahead."
- 00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:30.827
- And straining forward to what is ahead." and i'm glad the word
- 00:04:30.893 --> 00:04:32.395
- To what is ahead." and i'm glad the word straining is in there because
- 00:04:32.462 --> 00:04:35.064
- We do have to make an effort.
- 00:04:35.131 --> 00:04:37.300
- We do have to make an effort. we have an enemy, the devil.
- 00:04:37.367 --> 00:04:39.502
- We do have to make an effort. we have an enemy, the devil. and he's constantly after
- 00:04:39.569 --> 00:04:41.637
- We have an enemy, the devil. and he's constantly after us trying to steal our faith,
- 00:04:41.704 --> 00:04:42.805
- And he's constantly after us trying to steal our faith, steal our joy, make us afraid,
- 00:04:42.872 --> 00:04:44.707
- Us trying to steal our faith, steal our joy, make us afraid, and we do have to have
- 00:04:44.774 --> 00:04:47.176
- Steal our joy, make us afraid, and we do have to have a little bit of resistance.
- 00:04:47.243 --> 00:04:48.244
- And we do have to have a little bit of resistance. now, that doesn't mean that
- 00:04:48.311 --> 00:04:49.112
- A little bit of resistance. now, that doesn't mean that we have to live in misery.
- 00:04:49.178 --> 00:04:50.446
- Now, that doesn't mean that we have to live in misery. we can live in the rest of god.
- 00:04:50.513 --> 00:04:53.316
- We have to live in misery. we can live in the rest of god. but we have been given
- 00:04:53.383 --> 00:04:54.650
- We can live in the rest of god. but we have been given authority over the enemy,
- 00:04:54.717 --> 00:04:58.588
- But we have been given authority over the enemy, but you have to use
- 00:04:58.654 --> 00:04:59.422
- Authority over the enemy, but you have to use that authority.
- 00:04:59.489 --> 00:05:00.089
- But you have to use that authority. it can't just lie dormant.
- 00:05:00.156 --> 00:05:02.625
- That authority. it can't just lie dormant. so, stop living in the past
- 00:05:02.692 --> 00:05:04.394
- It can't just lie dormant. so, stop living in the past because that's not
- 00:05:04.460 --> 00:05:05.027
- So, stop living in the past because that's not where god's that.
- 00:05:05.094 --> 00:05:05.695
- Because that's not where god's that. he is the great i am,
- 00:05:05.762 --> 00:05:06.963
- Where god's that. he is the great i am, not the great i was.

- 00:06:52.635 --> 00:06:53.536
- We should prophesy our future, and to prophesy just means to speak forth.
- 00:06:53.603 --> 00:06:55.638
- I'm talking about saying what
- 00:06:55.705 --> 00:06:57.039
- I'm talking about saying what god says, agreeing with god.
- 00:06:57.106 --> 00:07:01.110
- I'm talking about saying what god says, agreeing with god. god doesn't say that we're
- 00:07:01.177 --> 00:07:02.011
- God says, agreeing with god. god doesn't say that we're all going to be billionaires.
- 00:07:02.078 --> 00:07:03.179
- God doesn't say that we're all going to be billionaires. so, i can't go around saying,
- 00:07:03.246 --> 00:07:04.380
- All going to be billionaires. so, i can't go around saying, "i'm a billionaire."
- 00:07:04.447 --> 00:07:06.482
- So, i can't go around saying, "i'm a billionaire." but i can say, "god has a good
- 00:07:06.549 --> 00:07:07.850
- "i'm a billionaire." but i can say, "god has a good plan for my future,"
- 00:07:07.917 --> 00:07:08.684
- But i can say, "god has a good plan for my future," because he says he's got
- 00:07:08.751 --> 00:07:09.986
- Plan for my future," because he says he's got a good plan for my future.
- 00:07:10.052 --> 00:07:11.687
- Because he says he's got a good plan for my future. i can say,
- 00:07:11.754 --> 00:07:12.522
- A good plan for my future. i can say, "i am the righteousness
- 00:07:12.588 --> 00:07:13.489
- I can say, "i am the righteousness of god in christ,"
- 00:07:13.556 --> 00:07:14.290
- "i am the righteousness of god in christ," because he says
- 00:07:14.357 --> 00:07:15.458
- Of god in christ," because he says i'm the righteousness
- 00:07:15.525 --> 00:07:16.225
- Because he says i'm the righteousness of god in christ.

- I'm the righteousness of god in christ. i can say,
- 00:07:17.760 --> 00:07:18.561
- Of god in christ. i can say, "my sins are forgiven,"
- 00:07:18.628 --> 00:07:19.629
- I can say, "my sins are forgiven," because he says
- 00:07:19.695 --> 00:07:20.863
- "my sins are forgiven," because he says my sins are forgiven.
- 00:07:20.930 --> 00:07:23.165
- Because he says my sins are forgiven. so, we need to be saying
- 00:07:23.232 --> 00:07:24.166
- My sins are forgiven. so, we need to be saying what god says, not repeating
- 00:07:24.233 --> 00:07:26.536
- So, we need to be saying what god says, not repeating all the lies the enemy
- 00:07:26.602 --> 00:07:27.703
- What god says, not repeating all the lies the enemy drops into our head.
- 00:07:27.770 --> 00:07:28.638
- So, ezekiel 37, 10 verses--
- 00:07:29.205 --> 00:07:34.277
- So, ezekiel 37, 10 verses-- ezekiel was apparently taken,
- 00:07:34.343 --> 00:07:36.012
- So, ezekiel 37, 10 verses-- ezekiel was apparently taken, in the spirit, into a valley
- 00:07:36.078 --> 00:07:39.315
- Ezekiel was apparently taken, in the spirit, into a valley of dead dry bones.
- 00:07:39.382 --> 00:07:41.851
- In the spirit, into a valley of dead dry bones. and he says, "the hand
- 00:07:41.918 --> 00:07:42.652
- Of dead dry bones. and he says, "the hand of the lord was upon me,
- 00:07:42.718 --> 00:07:43.619
- And he says, "the hand of the lord was upon me, and he brought me out
- 00:07:43.686 --> 00:07:44.520
- Of the lord was upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the lord
- 00:07:44.587 --> 00:07:45.688
- And he brought me out by the spirit of the lord and set me in the middle
- 00:07:45.755 --> 00:07:46.656
- By the spirit of the lord and set me in the middle of a valley, and it was
- 00:07:46.722 --> 00:07:47.590
- And set me in the middle of a valley, and it was full of bones."
- 00:07:47.657 --> 00:07:49.926
- Of a valley, and it was full of bones." well, bones usually indicate
- 00:07:49.992 --> 00:07:52.161
- Full of bones." well, bones usually indicate something's dead.
- 00:07:52.228 --> 00:07:55.197

- And forth among them, and i saw a great many bones on the floor of that valley,
- 00:07:58.134 --> 00:07:59.902
- And i saw a great many bones on the floor of that valley, bones that were very dry.
- 00:07:59.969 --> 00:08:03.005
- On the floor of that valley, bones that were very dry. and he asked me,
- 00:08:03.072 --> 00:08:03.773
- Bones that were very dry. and he asked me, 'son of man,
- 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:04.473
- And he asked me, 'son of man, can these bones live?'
- 00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:06.409
- 'son of man, can these bones live?' and i said, 'well,

- Can these bones live?' and i said, 'well, sovereign lord,

- Sovereign lord, you alone know?'" in other words,
- 00:08:08.945 --> 00:08:09.512
- You alone know?'" in other words, ezekiel was like,
- 00:08:09.579 --> 00:08:10.212
- In other words, ezekiel was like, "well, i don't know what i'd do.
- 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:15.051
- Ezekiel was like, "well, i don't know what i'd do. i don't have the ability

- "well, i don't know what i'd do. i don't have the ability to make them live.

- >> joyce: like, the bible says that if you meditate on the word of god,
- 00:14:23.719 --> 00:14:24.553
- Says that if you meditate on the word of god, day and night,
- 00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:25.220
- On the word of god, day and night, that everything
- 00:14:25.287 --> 00:14:25.788
- Day and night, that everything you lay your hand to,
- 00:14:25.854 --> 00:14:26.522
- That everything you lay your hand to, will prosper and succeed.
- 00:14:26.588 --> 00:14:27.790

- Through the blood of christ, so she can never be made right--or any more right,

- You get the point. i used to do that myself, but since i've gotten a little
- 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:44.833
- I used to do that myself, but since i've gotten a little more "mature," i have
- 00:15:44.900 --> 00:15:45.968
- But since i've gotten a little more "mature," i have somebody else do that now.

- And you've been made the righteousness of god in christ.
- 00:15:59.148 --> 00:16:00.015
- And you say,
- 00:16:00.082 --> 00:16:00.616
- And you say, "well, now, wait a minute,
- 00:16:00.682 --> 00:16:01.350
- And you say, "well, now, wait a minute, joyce, i do so many

- Joyce, i do so many things wrong, how can i be right with god?"
- 00:16:04.186 --> 00:16:07.156
- Things wrong, how can i be right with god?" because god has decided
- 00:16:07.222 --> 00:16:09.324
- How can i be right with god?" because god has decided to view you as being
- 00:16:09.391 --> 00:16:11.126
- Because god has decided to view you as being right with him because,
- 00:16:11.193 --> 00:16:13.128
- To view you as being right with him because, not because you
- 00:16:13.195 --> 00:16:13.996
- Right with him because, not because you do everything right,
- 00:16:14.063 --> 00:16:15.330
- Not because you do everything right, but because you love jesus
- 00:16:15.397 --> 00:16:18.133
- Do everything right, but because you love jesus and you've accepted him,
- 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.601
- But because you love jesus and you've accepted him, and he's already
- 00:16:19.668 --> 00:16:20.869
- And you've accepted him, and he's already done everything right,
- 00:16:20.936 --> 00:16:22.271
- And he's already done everything right, and you're in him.
- 00:16:22.337 --> 00:16:25.040
- Done everything right, and you're in him. god accepts his sacrifice
- 00:16:25.107 --> 00:16:28.077
- And you're in him. god accepts his sacrifice and applies it to you.
- 00:16:28.143 --> 00:16:30.446
- God accepts his sacrifice and applies it to you. now, that doesn't mean
- 00:16:30.512 --> 00:16:31.246
- And applies it to you. now, that doesn't mean that you still don't want
- 00:16:31.313 --> 00:16:33.148
- Now, that doesn't mean that you still don't want to do things right.
- 00:16:33.215 --> 00:16:34.216
- That you still don't want to do things right. but see here's the good
- 00:16:34.283 --> 00:16:34.983
- To do things right. but see here's the good news about god.
- 00:16:35.050 --> 00:16:35.818
- He never expects you
- 00:16:36.285 --> 00:16:37.352
- He never expects you to produce something
- 00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:38.220
- He never expects you to produce something that he hasn't given you.
- 00:16:38.287 --> 00:16:40.522
- To produce something that he hasn't given you. the bible tells
- 00:16:40.589 --> 00:16:41.190
- That he hasn't given you. the bible tells me to love people.
- 00:16:41.256 --> 00:16:44.059
- The bible tells me to love people. but god loves me first,
- 00:16:44.126 --> 00:16:45.494
- Me to love people. but god loves me first, so i've got love in me to give
- 00:16:45.561 --> 00:16:46.962
- But god loves me first, so i've got love in me to give to other people.
- 00:16:47.029 --> 00:16:49.098
- So i've got love in me to give to other people. he tells me to live
- 00:16:49.164 --> 00:16:50.132
- To other people. he tells me to live a righteous life,
- 00:16:50.199 --> 00:16:52.301
- He tells me to live a righteous life, but he gives
- 00:16:52.367 --> 00:16:53.001
- A righteous life, but he gives me righteousness first,
- 00:16:53.068 --> 00:16:55.104
- But he gives me righteousness first, which then equips
- 00:16:55.170 --> 00:16:55.904
- Me righteousness first, which then equips me to be able to live
- 00:16:55.971 --> 00:16:58.040
- Which then equips me to be able to live a righteous life.
- 00:16:58.107 --> 00:17:00.175
- Me to be able to live a righteous life. and, of course,
- 00:17:00.242 --> 00:17:00.809
- A righteous life. and, of course, i'm not doing everything right.
- 00:17:00.876 --> 00:17:02.311
- And, of course, i'm not doing everything right. but i'll tell you one thing,

- I'm not doing everything right. but i'll tell you one thing, i'm a lot better
- 00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:05.114
- But i'll tell you one thing, i'm a lot better than i used to be.
- 00:17:05.180 --> 00:17:07.816
- Because i believe that
- 00:17:07.883 --> 00:17:09.685
- Because i believe that i'm right with god,
- 00:17:09.751 --> 00:17:11.420
- Because i believe that i'm right with god, it makes me want
- 00:17:11.487 --> 00:17:12.588
- I'm right with god, it makes me want to do the right thing.
- 00:17:12.654 --> 00:17:14.890
- It makes me want to do the right thing. but if you believe that
- 00:17:14.957 --> 00:17:17.226
- To do the right thing. but if you believe that you're just a messed up,
- 00:17:17.292 --> 00:17:18.360
- But if you believe that you're just a messed up, miserable mess that can

- You're just a messed up, miserable mess that can never get anything right,
- 00:17:19.561 --> 00:17:20.762
- Miserable mess that can never get anything right, then that's exactly what

- Never get anything right, then that's exactly what you're gonna keep
