Unconditionally. that means god doesn't love you more on your good days
00:03:31.301 --> 00:03:32.902
That means god doesn't love you more on your good days than he does on your bad days.

And you're only gonna get to know him by having experience with him.

Get to know him by having experience with him. by taking steps of faith
00:03:57.460 --> 00:03:58.961
Experience with him. by taking steps of faith and trusting god for things
00:03:59.028 --> 00:04:02.065
By taking steps of faith and trusting god for things instead of trying to make ‘em
00:04:02.131 --> 00:04:03.399
See god move in your life.
00:04:04.734 --> 00:04:07.170

And you know, i know some of you are going through really rough times, but you know,
00:06:36.018 --> 00:06:36.953
Of you are going through really rough times, but you know, i go through rough times too.
00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:39.455
Rough times, but you know, i go through rough times too. you don't know what goes
00:06:39.522 --> 00:06:40.389
I go through rough times too. you don't know what goes on in my life other
00:06:40.456 --> 00:06:41.457
You don't know what goes on in my life other than my stage life.
00:06:41.524 --> 00:06:44.427
On in my life other than my stage life. and i can tell you for sure
00:06:44.494 --> 00:06:45.495
Than my stage life. and i can tell you for sure it's not all like this.

Amen? so, you gotta like, almost get like a little bit of holy anger.
00:06:55.438 --> 00:06:58.708
You know, when jesus went
00:07:00.176 --> 00:07:01.110
You know, when jesus went in that temple and they were
00:07:01.177 --> 00:07:03.212
You know, when jesus went in that temple and they were selling stuff and he started
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.314
In that temple and they were selling stuff and he started turning over the tables.
00:07:05.381 --> 00:07:08.217
Selling stuff and he started turning over the tables. we need to realize that there's
00:07:08.284 --> 00:07:10.520
Turning over the tables. we need to realize that there's a devil that hates us and
00:07:10.586 --> 00:07:13.322
We need to realize that there's a devil that hates us and he spends his time lying to us.
00:07:13.389 --> 00:07:15.658
A devil that hates us and he spends his time lying to us. lie is his native language.
00:07:15.725 --> 00:07:18.761
He spends his time lying to us. lie is his native language. that's all he can do is lie.
00:07:18.828 --> 00:07:20.062
Lie is his native language. that's all he can do is lie. but if you believe his lies,
00:07:20.129 --> 00:07:21.797
That's all he can do is lie. but if you believe his lies, it becomes your truth.
00:07:21.864 --> 00:07:25.301
And so even though it's a lie,
00:07:26.035 --> 00:07:27.670
And so even though it's a lie, it becomes your reality.
00:07:27.737 --> 00:07:29.639
And so even though it's a lie, it becomes your reality. amen?
00:07:29.705 --> 00:07:30.873
It becomes your reality. amen? i was sitting one morning
00:07:30.940 --> 00:07:33.509
Amen? i was sitting one morning feeding my baby.

I was sitting one morning feeding my baby. dave had just left for work
00:07:36.178 --> 00:07:37.680
Feeding my baby. dave had just left for work and we'd had another argument.
00:07:37.747 --> 00:07:40.483
Dave had just left for work and we'd had another argument. and of course, he's always right
00:07:40.550 --> 00:07:42.084
And we'd had another argument. and of course, he's always right and i'm always wrong.
00:07:42.151 --> 00:07:44.120
And of course, he's always right and i'm always wrong. that's the way it is with men,
00:07:44.186 --> 00:07:45.321
And i'm always wrong. that's the way it is with men, you know that,
00:07:45.388 --> 00:07:46.722
That's the way it is with men, you know that, they're never wrong.
00:07:46.789 --> 00:07:47.456
You know that, they're never wrong. >> [audience laughing]

00:07:51.394 --> 00:07:51.894
I just didn't know his first name was, always. >> [audience laughing]

00:08:06.475 --> 00:08:08.911
In 58 years, i've heard him say, "i was wrong." and so, he left that morning
00:08:08.978 --> 00:08:11.280
"i was wrong." and so, he left that morning and i was like,

"yeah, it's always me. always me. i'm just no good.
00:08:14.150 --> 00:08:14.984
Always me. i'm just no good. i can't do anything right."

I can't do anything right." i'm talking out loud like this. "i'm stupid.
00:08:17.787 --> 00:08:18.521
I'm talking out loud like this. "i'm stupid. i'm no good."

And i'm gonna tell you the truth, and i'm not making this up.
00:08:21.991 --> 00:08:22.825
The truth, and i'm not making this up. i felt an evil presence
00:08:22.892 --> 00:08:25.695
Making this up. i felt an evil presence coming across the room at me.
00:08:25.761 --> 00:08:28.731
I felt an evil presence coming across the room at me. i mean, i felt it.
00:08:28.798 --> 00:08:31.133
Coming across the room at me. i mean, i felt it. and i knew it was a demonic
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:33.002
I mean, i felt it. and i knew it was a demonic spirit, and i knew why.
00:08:33.069 --> 00:08:36.939
And i knew it was a demonic spirit, and i knew why. and i started saying,
00:08:37.006 --> 00:08:38.207
Spirit, and i knew why. and i started saying, "i am the righteousness
00:08:38.274 --> 00:08:39.008
And i started saying, "i am the righteousness of god in christ.
00:08:39.075 --> 00:08:39.942
"i am the righteousness of god in christ. i am the righteousness
00:08:40.009 --> 00:08:41.177
Of god in christ. i am the righteousness of god in christ.
00:08:41.243 --> 00:08:41.744
I am the righteousness of god in christ. i am the righteousness
00:08:41.811 --> 00:08:42.845
Of god in christ. i am the righteousness of god in christ.

I am the righteousness of god in christ." and the more i said it,
00:08:45.414 --> 00:08:46.415
Of god in christ." and the more i said it, the more that spirit backed
00:08:46.482 --> 00:08:48.684
And the more i said it, the more that spirit backed out of the room and left me.
00:08:48.751 --> 00:08:52.355
The more that spirit backed out of the room and left me. now, i usually don't tell stuff
00:08:52.421 --> 00:08:54.290
Out of the room and left me. now, i usually don't tell stuff like that because i don't
00:08:54.357 --> 00:08:55.124
Now, i usually don't tell stuff like that because i don't want you thinking i'm weird
00:08:55.191 --> 00:08:56.592
Like that because i don't want you thinking i'm weird and goofy, but there's

Want you thinking i'm weird and goofy, but there's no telling what you're letting

And goofy, but there's no telling what you're letting into your life by talking

No telling what you're letting into your life by talking bad about yourself.
00:09:02.999 --> 00:09:06.369
Into your life by talking bad about yourself. one of the worst things
00:09:06.435 --> 00:09:07.603
Bad about yourself. one of the worst things that you can do is talk
00:09:07.670 --> 00:09:10.106
One of the worst things that you can do is talk bad about yourself.

I bet a lot of you didn't know that scripture was in the bible. it's in the king james,
00:10:28.417 --> 00:10:29.618
That scripture was in the bible. it's in the king james, not in some of the other
00:10:29.685 --> 00:10:31.187
It's in the king james, not in some of the other newer translations.
00:10:31.253 --> 00:10:33.989
Not in some of the other newer translations. see, i know that you can think

Newer translations. see, i know that you can think better because you have

See, i know that you can think better because you have the mind of christ.
00:10:36.659 --> 00:10:40.129
Better because you have the mind of christ. 1 corinthians 2:16 says,
00:10:40.196 --> 00:10:41.731
The mind of christ. 1 corinthians 2:16 says, "for who has known
00:10:41.797 --> 00:10:42.565
1 corinthians 2:16 says, "for who has known or understood the mind

"for who has known or understood the mind of the lord...
00:10:43.966 --> 00:10:46.202
Or understood the mind of the lord... who can guide and instruct

Of the lord... who can guide and instruct him and give him knowledge?
00:10:47.970 --> 00:10:49.004
Who can guide and instruct him and give him knowledge? but we have the mind of christ,

Him and give him knowledge? but we have the mind of christ, and we do hold the thoughts

Well, this is the way we look on the outside when we start.

On the outside when we start. even though you're saved,
00:11:07.056 --> 00:11:09.525
Even though you're saved, if you're bald, you're still
00:11:09.592 --> 00:11:11.227
If you're bald, you're still bald when you look
00:11:11.293 --> 00:11:11.994

You're not suddenly out of debt because you got saved.
00:11:22.004 --> 00:11:24.440
You're not suddenly out of debt because you got saved. but when you receive christ,

Because you got saved. but when you receive christ, you received--you got

Thing that you can imagine. it was just like god put in a new program.

See, in your spirit-- you're a spirit, you have a soul,

You're a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body.

You have a soul, and you live in a body. but in your spirit,
