- 00:00:43.333 --> 00:00:44.167
- >> joyce: so, confidence is just a belief that
- 00:00:44.234 --> 00:00:45.135
- >> joyce: so, confidence is just a belief that you can do a thing.
- 00:00:45.201 --> 00:00:47.570
- Is just a belief that you can do a thing. "i don't know.
- 00:00:47.637 --> 00:00:48.138
- You can do a thing. "i don't know. i don't know if i can do that.
- 00:00:48.204 --> 00:00:49.572
- "i don't know. i don't know if i can do that. what if i fail?"
- 00:00:49.639 --> 00:00:50.740
- I don't know if i can do that. what if i fail?" well, just because you
- 00:00:50.807 --> 00:00:53.009
- What if i fail?" well, just because you fail at something doesn't
- 00:00:53.076 --> 00:00:54.310
- Well, just because you fail at something doesn't mean you're a failure.
- 00:00:54.377 --> 00:00:56.913
- Fail at something doesn't mean you're a failure. it just means you found
- 00:00:56.980 --> 00:00:58.581
- Mean you're a failure. it just means you found out something you can't do.
- 00:00:58.648 --> 00:01:00.884
- It just means you found out something you can't do. so, then you don't bother
- 00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:01.818
- Out something you can't do. so, then you don't bother doing that anymore.
- 00:01:01.885 --> 00:01:03.052
- So, then you don't bother doing that anymore. you try doing something else.
- 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.123
- Doing that anymore. you try doing something else. philippians 3:3,
- 00:01:07.190 --> 00:01:08.124
- You try doing something else. philippians 3:3, "for we [christians]
- 00:01:08.191 --> 00:01:08.791
- Philippians 3:3, "for we [christians] are the true circumcision,
- 00:01:08.858 --> 00:01:10.760
- "for we [christians] are the true circumcision, who worship god in spirit
- 00:01:10.827 --> 00:01:12.228
- Are the true circumcision, who worship god in spirit and by the spirit of god
- 00:01:12.295 --> 00:01:13.696
- Who worship god in spirit and by the spirit of god and we exalt and glory
- 00:01:13.763 --> 00:01:14.864
- And by the spirit of god and we exalt and glory and pride ourselves
- 00:01:14.931 --> 00:01:15.798
- And we exalt and glory and pride ourselves in jesus christ,
- 00:01:15.865 --> 00:01:16.866
- And pride ourselves in jesus christ, and put no confidence
- 00:01:16.933 --> 00:01:18.234
- In jesus christ, and put no confidence or dependence [on what we are]
- 00:01:18.301 --> 00:01:19.903
- And put no confidence or dependence [on what we are] in the flesh."
- 00:01:19.969 --> 00:01:24.474
- So your confidence
- 00:01:24.541 --> 00:01:25.241
- So your confidence is not in you.
- 00:01:25.308 --> 00:01:26.943
- So your confidence is not in you. it's in god, in you.
- 00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:30.680
- Is not in you. it's in god, in you. i like to say,
- 00:01:30.747 --> 00:01:31.314
- It's in god, in you. i like to say, "i'm an everything, nothing.
- 00:01:31.381 --> 00:01:32.248
- I like to say, "i'm an everything, nothing. nothing in myself
- 00:01:32.315 --> 00:01:33.249
- "i'm an everything, nothing. nothing in myself and everything in christ."
- 00:01:33.316 --> 00:01:36.586
- Nothing in myself and everything in christ." now, identity theft.
- 00:01:36.653 --> 00:01:38.821
- And everything in christ." now, identity theft. have you had your
- 00:01:38.888 --> 00:01:39.656
- Now, identity theft. have you had your identity stolen?
- 00:01:39.722 --> 00:01:41.824
- Have you had your identity stolen? have you been the victim
- 00:01:41.891 --> 00:01:42.725
- Identity stolen? have you been the victim of a case of mistaken identity?
- 00:01:42.792 --> 00:01:45.595
- I saw a movie about a woman
- 00:01:46.296 --> 00:01:47.263
- I saw a movie about a woman who went to prison because
- 00:01:47.330 --> 00:01:50.266
- I saw a movie about a woman who went to prison because of a case of mistaken identity.
- 00:01:50.333 --> 00:01:52.969
- Who went to prison because of a case of mistaken identity. they thought she was
- 00:01:53.036 --> 00:01:55.672
- Of a case of mistaken identity. they thought she was somebody that she wasn't.
- 00:01:55.738 --> 00:01:56.839
- They thought she was somebody that she wasn't. and, you know, today you can buy
- 00:01:56.906 --> 00:02:00.610
- Somebody that she wasn't. and, you know, today you can buy insurance for identity theft.
- 00:02:00.677 --> 00:02:04.914
- And, you know, today you can buy insurance for identity theft. but we don't have
- 00:02:04.981 --> 00:02:05.582
- Insurance for identity theft. but we don't have to do that because jesus
- 00:02:05.648 --> 00:02:07.584
- But we don't have to do that because jesus is our insurance policy.
- 00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:11.254
- To do that because jesus is our insurance policy. amen?
- 00:02:11.321 --> 00:02:16.159
- Is our insurance policy. amen? are you in prison
- 00:02:16.226 --> 00:02:16.960
- Amen? are you in prison because of what you
- 00:02:17.026 --> 00:02:17.627
- Are you in prison because of what you think about yourself?
- 00:02:17.694 --> 00:02:20.663
- Because of what you think about yourself? 1 corinthians 1:8--
- 00:02:20.730 --> 00:02:23.967
- Think about yourself? 1 corinthians 1:8-- i sat and just marveled
- 00:02:24.033 --> 00:02:25.101
- 1 corinthians 1:8-- i sat and just marveled as i studied this morning.
- 00:02:25.168 --> 00:02:27.203
- I sat and just marveled as i studied this morning. "and he will establish you
- 00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:28.538
- As i studied this morning. "and he will establish you to the end [keep you steadfast,
- 00:02:28.605 --> 00:02:30.139
- "and he will establish you to the end [keep you steadfast, give you strength,
- 00:02:30.206 --> 00:02:31.241
- To the end [keep you steadfast, give you strength, and guarantee your vindication;
- 00:02:31.307 --> 00:02:34.444
- Give you strength, and guarantee your vindication; he will be your warrant against
- 00:02:34.510 --> 00:02:36.212
- And guarantee your vindication; he will be your warrant against all accusation or indictment
- 00:02:36.279 --> 00:02:38.114
- He will be your warrant against all accusation or indictment so that you will be]
- 00:02:38.181 --> 00:02:38.848
- All accusation or indictment so that you will be] guiltless and irreproachable
- 00:02:38.915 --> 00:02:40.316
- So that you will be] guiltless and irreproachable in the day of our
- 00:02:40.383 --> 00:02:41.050
- Guiltless and irreproachable in the day of our lord jesus christ."
- 00:02:41.117 --> 00:02:44.621
- In the day of our lord jesus christ." so, he's your insurance policy.
- 00:02:44.687 --> 00:02:47.890
- Lord jesus christ." so, he's your insurance policy. when the devil accuses you,
- 00:02:47.957 --> 00:02:52.095
- So, he's your insurance policy. when the devil accuses you, jesus says, "no."
- 00:02:52.161 --> 00:02:54.330
- When the devil accuses you, jesus says, "no." he says here that
- 00:02:54.397 --> 00:02:56.633
- Jesus says, "no." he says here that "[you will be] guiltless
- 00:02:56.699 --> 00:02:57.533
- He says here that "[you will be] guiltless and irreproachable."
- 00:02:57.600 --> 00:03:00.103
- "[you will be] guiltless and irreproachable." that word "irreproachable"
- 00:03:00.169 --> 00:03:01.704
- And irreproachable." that word "irreproachable" is interesting because
- 00:03:01.771 --> 00:03:03.273
- That word "irreproachable" is interesting because the word reproach means:
- 00:03:03.339 --> 00:03:05.875
- Shame, blame, or disgrace.
- 00:03:05.942 --> 00:03:08.278
- Shame, blame, or disgrace. and i'm gonna take you back
- 00:03:08.344 --> 00:03:10.046
- Shame, blame, or disgrace. and i'm gonna take you back for a minute to joshua.
- 00:03:10.113 --> 00:03:12.282
- And i'm gonna take you back for a minute to joshua. now, moses had led
- 00:03:12.348 --> 00:03:13.449
- For a minute to joshua. now, moses had led the israelites out of egypt.
- 00:03:13.516 --> 00:03:18.154
- Now, moses had led the israelites out of egypt. but now, think about this.
- 00:03:18.221 --> 00:03:19.022
- The israelites out of egypt. but now, think about this. they had had 400 years
- 00:03:19.088 --> 00:03:20.923
- But now, think about this. they had had 400 years of slavery there.
- 00:03:20.990 --> 00:03:23.593
- They had had 400 years of slavery there. so, their mom and dads
- 00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:27.463
- Of slavery there. so, their mom and dads were slaves.
- 00:03:27.530 --> 00:03:28.231
- So, their mom and dads were slaves. their grandparents were slaves.
- 00:03:28.298 --> 00:03:30.433
- Were slaves. their grandparents were slaves. their great grandparents
- 00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:31.401
- Their grandparents were slaves. their great grandparents were slaves.
- 00:03:31.467 --> 00:03:32.869
- Their great grandparents were slaves. all the way back,
- 00:03:32.935 --> 00:03:33.536
- Were slaves. all the way back, as far as anybody could think,
- 00:03:33.603 --> 00:03:34.704
- All the way back, as far as anybody could think, they had generation after
- 00:03:34.771 --> 00:03:35.705
- As far as anybody could think, they had generation after generation after generation
- 00:03:35.772 --> 00:03:37.507
- They had generation after generation after generation of being a slave.
- 00:03:37.573 --> 00:03:38.574
- Generation after generation of being a slave. so, i'm quite sure they
- 00:03:38.641 --> 00:03:40.810
- Of being a slave. so, i'm quite sure they had a slave mentality.
- 00:03:40.877 --> 00:03:43.279
- So, i'm quite sure they had a slave mentality. they saw themselves
- 00:03:43.346 --> 00:03:48.217
- Had a slave mentality. they saw themselves as probably being nothing
- 00:03:48.284 --> 00:03:49.519
- They saw themselves as probably being nothing and unworthy and whatever
- 00:03:49.585 --> 00:03:53.423
- As probably being nothing and unworthy and whatever you would think of yourself.
- 00:03:53.489 --> 00:03:55.658
- And so moses led the israelites
- 00:03:56.659 --> 00:04:00.096
- And so moses led the israelites up to the promised land.
- 00:04:00.163 --> 00:04:01.264
- And so moses led the israelites up to the promised land. but because
- 00:04:01.331 --> 00:04:01.898
- Up to the promised land. but because of something he had done,
- 00:04:01.964 --> 00:04:04.400
- But because of something he had done, god would not
- 00:04:04.467 --> 00:04:05.101
- Of something he had done, god would not let him lead them in.
- 00:04:05.168 --> 00:04:07.570
- God would not let him lead them in. joshua was gonna take them
- 00:04:07.637 --> 00:04:08.971
- Let him lead them in. joshua was gonna take them into the promised land and they
- 00:04:09.038 --> 00:04:12.608
- Got on the border of jericho,
- 00:04:12.675 --> 00:04:16.379
- Got on the border of jericho, but they couldn't go in yet.
- 00:04:16.446 --> 00:04:19.515
- Got on the border of jericho, but they couldn't go in yet. you see, to possess
- 00:04:19.582 --> 00:04:20.516
- But they couldn't go in yet. you see, to possess the land means that you
- 00:04:20.583 --> 00:04:21.651
- You see, to possess the land means that you first have to dispossess
- 00:04:21.718 --> 00:04:23.252
- The land means that you first have to dispossess the current occupants.
- 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.189
- First have to dispossess the current occupants. so, it wasn't like they
- 00:04:26.255 --> 00:04:27.590
- The current occupants. so, it wasn't like they were just gonna march
- 00:04:27.657 --> 00:04:29.325
- So, it wasn't like they were just gonna march in and take over everything.
- 00:04:29.392 --> 00:04:31.127
- Were just gonna march in and take over everything. they had to first
- 00:04:31.194 --> 00:04:32.095
- In and take over everything. they had to first do war with the occupants.
- 00:04:32.161 --> 00:04:35.198
- They had to first do war with the occupants. and that's why they had wars
- 00:04:35.264 --> 00:04:36.999
- Do war with the occupants. and that's why they had wars year after year after year.
- 00:04:37.066 --> 00:04:39.102
- And that's why they had wars year after year after year. they were taking the land
- 00:04:39.168 --> 00:04:40.436
- Year after year after year. they were taking the land that was rightfully theirs,
- 00:04:40.503 --> 00:04:41.804
- They were taking the land that was rightfully theirs, but they had to fight for it.
- 00:04:41.871 --> 00:04:44.607
- And one of the reasons why
- 00:04:45.341 --> 00:04:47.410
- And one of the reasons why the bible says that god led
- 00:04:47.477 --> 00:04:48.745
- And one of the reasons why the bible says that god led them the long hard way
- 00:04:48.811 --> 00:04:50.113
- The bible says that god led them the long hard way in the wilderness--
- 00:04:50.179 --> 00:04:51.414
- Them the long hard way in the wilderness-- 'cause it took them 40 years
- 00:04:51.481 --> 00:04:52.648
- In the wilderness-- 'cause it took them 40 years to make an 11-day journey,
- 00:04:52.715 --> 00:04:55.918
- 'cause it took them 40 years to make an 11-day journey, was because they weren't
- 00:04:55.985 --> 00:04:57.086
- To make an 11-day journey, was because they weren't ready for war yet.
- 00:04:57.153 --> 00:05:01.524
- Was because they weren't ready for war yet. so, he had to keep 'em out
- 00:05:01.591 --> 00:05:03.025
- Ready for war yet. so, he had to keep 'em out there and put 'em through
- 00:05:03.092 --> 00:05:04.427
- A few things and toughen
- 00:05:04.494 --> 00:05:05.495
- A few things and toughen them up a little bit.
- 00:05:05.561 --> 00:05:10.466
- A few things and toughen them up a little bit. and so, then while they were
- 00:05:10.533 --> 00:05:11.334
- Them up a little bit. and so, then while they were waiting to go into jericho,
- 00:05:11.401 --> 00:05:15.438
- And so, then while they were waiting to go into jericho, they did other things
- 00:05:15.505 --> 00:05:16.105
- Waiting to go into jericho, they did other things that god told 'em to march
- 00:05:16.172 --> 00:05:17.073
- They did other things that god told 'em to march around the city every day.
- 00:05:17.140 --> 00:05:18.641
- And then, you know,
- 00:05:19.242 --> 00:05:20.243
- And then, you know, finally they were gonna march
- 00:05:20.309 --> 00:05:22.345
- And then, you know, finally they were gonna march around the city seven times
- 00:05:22.412 --> 00:05:23.479
- Finally they were gonna march around the city seven times and shout, and the walls
- 00:05:23.546 --> 00:05:25.848
- Around the city seven times and shout, and the walls were gonna fall down.
- 00:05:25.915 --> 00:05:26.582
- And shout, and the walls were gonna fall down. but a few days before that,
- 00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:29.986
- Were gonna fall down. but a few days before that, god said to joshua,
- 00:05:30.052 --> 00:05:31.621
- But a few days before that, god said to joshua, get the people ready,
- 00:05:31.687 --> 00:05:33.556
- God said to joshua, get the people ready, prepare them,
- 00:05:33.623 --> 00:05:36.392
- Get the people ready, prepare them, because in three days i'm gonna

- I think that it's important that we practice the consciousness of god.
- 00:10:41.430 --> 00:10:44.200
- That we practice the consciousness of god. to think several times a day,
- 00:10:44.266 --> 00:10:46.135
- The consciousness of god. to think several times a day, "god's with me right now.
- 00:10:46.202 --> 00:10:50.206

- And we can ask him for anything the bible says we can have. so, after the reproach
- 00:11:10.893 --> 00:11:11.761
- The bible says we can have. so, after the reproach was rolled away,
- 00:11:11.827 --> 00:11:12.428
- So, after the reproach was rolled away, they went in and took jericho.
- 00:11:12.495 --> 00:11:13.863
- Was rolled away, they went in and took jericho. and then it was, gosh,
- 00:11:13.929 --> 00:11:15.464
- They went in and took jericho. and then it was, gosh, i don't know how many years,
- 00:11:15.531 --> 00:11:17.133
- And then it was, gosh, i don't know how many years, they just kept taking
- 00:11:17.199 --> 00:11:18.000
- I don't know how many years, they just kept taking town after town after

- And then there's several
- 00:11:22.204 --> 00:11:23.773
- And then there's several scriptures that talk about
- 00:11:23.839 --> 00:11:25.074
- And then there's several scriptures that talk about how we've been sealed
- 00:11:25.141 --> 00:11:27.610
- Scriptures that talk about how we've been sealed with the holy spirit.
- 00:11:27.676 --> 00:11:31.614

- And in case that doesn't makes sense to you, ephesus was a logging town,
- 00:11:35.084 --> 00:11:40.756

- 00:11:40.823 --> 00:11:42.825
- Ephesus was a logging town, which meant that they would-- upstream they would cut
- 00:11:42.892 --> 00:11:45.561
- Which meant that they would-- upstream they would cut the trees down and put the logs
- 00:11:45.628 --> 00:11:49.231
- Upstream they would cut the trees down and put the logs on rafts and roll 'em down
- 00:11:49.298 --> 00:11:51.433
- The trees down and put the logs on rafts and roll 'em down the river and they would come
