  • >> 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

  • 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 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
