  • 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.300
  • Hey, family.
  • 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:18.301
  • It's pastor tim
  • 00:00:18.301 --> 00:00:19.169
  • Timberlake of celebration church,
  • 00:00:19.169 --> 00:00:20.937
  • And i bring you greetings from jacksonville, florida.
  • 00:00:20.937 --> 00:00:23.773
  • I'm excited about the word that god has given me
  • 00:00:23.773 --> 00:00:26.242
  • For our time together today.
  • 00:00:26.242 --> 00:00:28.078
  • And i don't want to waste any time.
  • 00:00:28.078 --> 00:00:29.712
  • I want us to get our word.
  • 00:00:29.712 --> 00:00:31.581
  • Text a friend, call them.
  • 00:00:31.581 --> 00:00:32.782
  • Let them know we're on right now.
  • 00:00:32.782 --> 00:00:34.451
  • Let's go into the message that has already begun, entitled
  • 00:00:34.451 --> 00:00:37.720
  • I'm dying to live.
  • 00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:44.494
  • Romans chapter six.
  • 00:00:44.961 --> 00:00:49.732
  • Verse number six
  • 00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:53.336
  • Paul begins to unpack to us.
  • 00:00:53.336 --> 00:00:59.476
  • A paradox.
  • 00:00:59.776 --> 00:01:03.179
  • That only we can receive
  • 00:01:03.713 --> 00:01:06.382
  • With our spirit.
  • 00:01:06.382 --> 00:01:09.886
  • He begins to reveal to us
  • 00:01:09.886 --> 00:01:11.988
  • That the only way we can truly live
  • 00:01:11.988 --> 00:01:15.658
  • Is to surely die.
  • 00:01:16.092 --> 00:01:19.429
  • The only way that we can
  • 00:01:19.929 --> 00:01:21.364
  • Have life in christ
  • 00:01:21.364 --> 00:01:24.501
  • Is to daily die to our flesh.
  • 00:01:24.501 --> 00:01:28.738
  • The only way we
  • 00:01:29.105 --> 00:01:30.173
  • Can step into our god given purpose
  • 00:01:30.173 --> 00:01:34.811
  • Is to step away
  • 00:01:35.178 --> 00:01:37.614
  • From our self-induced egos.
  • 00:01:37.614 --> 00:01:42.852
  • He unpacks in romans chapter six,
  • 00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:46.222
  • Verse six, for we know that our old self
  • 00:01:46.222 --> 00:01:51.127
  • Was crucified with him, so that the body ruled by sin
  • 00:01:51.127 --> 00:01:54.998
  • Might be done away with, that we should
  • 00:01:54.998 --> 00:01:58.401
  • No longer be slaves to sin,
  • 00:01:58.401 --> 00:02:01.671
  • Because anyone who has died
  • 00:02:02.272 --> 00:02:05.275
  • Has been set free from sin.
  • 00:02:05.275 --> 00:02:11.314
  • Anyone who has died
  • 00:02:11.781 --> 00:02:13.983
  • Has been set free from sin.
  • 00:02:13.983 --> 00:02:17.520
  • How do you know when you are dead?
  • 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.224
  • When you are set free from sin?
  • 00:02:21.858 --> 00:02:25.828
  • The problem with this statement
  • 00:02:26.462 --> 00:02:28.131
  • Is that we wake up every single day,
  • 00:02:28.131 --> 00:02:31.134
  • Which means every single day.
  • 00:02:31.768 --> 00:02:33.503
  • We have to crucify this flesh so that this flesh can die
  • 00:02:33.503 --> 00:02:37.807
  • And jesus christ could be resurrected in us,
  • 00:02:38.741 --> 00:02:42.111
  • Allowing us to live in his radiant grace and mercy.
  • 00:02:42.111 --> 00:02:48.218
  • Paul teaches us in
  • 00:02:48.651 --> 00:02:50.253
  • Order for you to understand the significance of life.
  • 00:02:50.253 --> 00:02:53.990
  • You first have to understand the significance of death.
  • 00:02:53.990 --> 00:02:57.493
  • And in order for you to live, you have to be buried daily
  • 00:02:57.493 --> 00:03:01.998
  • So that jesus can touch
  • 00:03:01.998 --> 00:03:03.800
  • Your dead body and breathe new life into you
  • 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.704
  • So you no longer live for yourself.
  • 00:03:07.704 --> 00:03:10.473
  • You now live for the purpose and the calling of jesus christ.
  • 00:03:10.473 --> 00:03:15.578
  • If you're taking notes,
  • 00:03:15.578 --> 00:03:16.679
  • I want you to write this down as paul teaches us,
  • 00:03:16.679 --> 00:03:19.882
  • That we have to, number one, die to sin, to live in freedom.
  • 00:03:19.882 --> 00:03:24.487
  • In roman culture, just like today's
  • 00:03:25.288 --> 00:03:27.523
  • Call to death was final and absolute.
  • 00:03:27.523 --> 00:03:30.560
  • And so paul utilizes this historical imagery
  • 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.897
  • To emphasize that total separation
  • 00:03:34.897 --> 00:03:38.001
  • Must happen from sin, so that we can live in christ.
  • 00:03:38.001 --> 00:03:41.938
  • We can't both entertain sin and think
  • 00:03:41.938 --> 00:03:45.275
  • That we grow deeper in our relationship with jesus.
  • 00:03:45.275 --> 00:03:48.344
  • We can't date sin and be married to christ.
  • 00:03:48.344 --> 00:03:51.948
  • We can't incorporate little facets of what we want to do,
  • 00:03:51.948 --> 00:03:55.818
  • While at the same time trying to grow in our relationship
  • 00:03:55.818 --> 00:03:59.555
  • With jesus christ.
  • 00:03:59.555 --> 00:04:00.857
  • You have to fully die to yourself
  • 00:04:00.857 --> 00:04:05.094
  • So that the jesus in you could be raised to life,
  • 00:04:05.094 --> 00:04:09.432
  • And you've modeled the life that he desires for you to live.
  • 00:04:09.432 --> 00:04:13.569
  • There is no death that is pretty.
  • 00:04:13.569 --> 00:04:18.908
  • So paul teaches us
  • 00:04:19.342 --> 00:04:22.178
  • In order to live,
  • 00:04:22.178 --> 00:04:24.547
  • You have to die.
  • 00:04:24.547 --> 00:04:27.750
  • What if my greatest
  • 00:04:28.217 --> 00:04:30.420
  • Worries about what i see happening
  • 00:04:30.420 --> 00:04:34.290
  • In the church
  • 00:04:34.657 --> 00:04:36.826
  • And the western culture,
  • 00:04:36.826 --> 00:04:39.329
  • Is that we're creating atmospheres and environments
  • 00:04:39.329 --> 00:04:43.366
  • To make people comfortable?
  • 00:04:43.966 --> 00:04:47.470
  • Instead of teaching them
  • 00:04:48.004 --> 00:04:50.340
  • To walk away from sin because of a godly conviction.
  • 00:04:50.340 --> 00:04:57.113
  • Although this gospel
  • 00:04:57.580 --> 00:05:00.249
  • Is given to us to transform us,
  • 00:05:00.249 --> 00:05:03.720
  • This gospel is not about us.
  • 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.290
  • It is about jesus.
  • 00:05:07.724 --> 00:05:10.360
  • And anytime we make the holy scripture
  • 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.030
  • About us, we have not fully died.
  • 00:05:14.030 --> 00:05:18.601
  • Whenever we make services to worship
  • 00:05:19.402 --> 00:05:22.972
  • Jesus about us, we have not fully died.
  • 00:05:22.972 --> 00:05:27.076
  • Whenever we try to rest the plan and the purpose
  • 00:05:28.010 --> 00:05:32.382
  • Of the spirit of god, we have not fully
  • 00:05:32.382 --> 00:05:35.952
  • Died.
  • 00:05:35.952 --> 00:05:40.757
  • And paul says,
  • 00:05:41.090 --> 00:05:42.725
  • In order for you to have eternal life,
  • 00:05:42.725 --> 00:05:45.828
  • You have to die daily
  • 00:05:46.329 --> 00:05:49.365
  • To your temporal flesh.
  • 00:05:49.365 --> 00:05:53.336
  • In other scriptures, paul says,
  • 00:05:53.970 --> 00:05:56.072
  • I buffet my body daily.
  • 00:05:56.072 --> 00:05:59.409
  • I crucify my flesh
  • 00:05:59.842 --> 00:06:01.844
  • So that the christ in me
  • 00:06:01.844 --> 00:06:05.281
  • Could illuminate right to the people around me.
  • 00:06:05.281 --> 00:06:09.752
  • So i ask the question again
  • 00:06:10.353 --> 00:06:12.622
  • How do you know when you are dead?
  • 00:06:12.622 --> 00:06:16.392
  • When your heart
  • 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:17.727
  • No longer beats for the things of the world?
  • 00:06:17.727 --> 00:06:21.964
  • But it now beats
  • 00:06:22.365 --> 00:06:24.967
  • For the things of god.
  • 00:06:24.967 --> 00:06:29.772
  • Romans six verse
  • 00:06:30.173 --> 00:06:31.574
  • 6 to 7 again says, for we know that our old self
  • 00:06:31.574 --> 00:06:35.411
  • Was crucified with him, so that the body ruled by sin.
  • 00:06:35.411 --> 00:06:39.382
  • Before christ you were ruled by sin.
  • 00:06:39.382 --> 00:06:41.951
  • Before
  • 00:06:41.951 --> 00:06:43.152
  • Jesus you was led by sin, before his grace and his mercy.
  • 00:06:43.152 --> 00:06:47.023
  • Everything you did was dictated by sin,
  • 00:06:47.023 --> 00:06:50.193
  • But because of jesus, you are now no longer a slave
  • 00:06:50.193 --> 00:06:54.564
  • To what was once ruling you and leading you.
  • 00:06:54.564 --> 00:06:58.434
  • You are now free,
  • 00:06:58.434 --> 00:06:59.902
  • And the only one
  • 00:06:59.902 --> 00:07:01.037
  • That has the power to set you free is jesus christ.
  • 00:07:01.037 --> 00:07:04.440
  • So who are we to half heartedly thank him from
  • 00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:07.844
  • Freeing us from what was killing us?
  • 00:07:07.844 --> 00:07:15.384
  • I knew this would be a message
  • 00:07:15.985 --> 00:07:19.355
  • That would not warrant your collapse.
  • 00:07:19.355 --> 00:07:23.159
  • Your plots,
  • 00:07:23.493 --> 00:07:26.095
  • Your hallelujahs and amens.
  • 00:07:26.095 --> 00:07:29.298
  • Because, let's be honest, our flesh does not like to be
  • 00:07:29.298 --> 00:07:32.034
  • Told what not to do.
  • 00:07:32.034 --> 00:07:35.905
  • We like to hear messages that cater to what we want.
  • 00:07:36.973 --> 00:07:41.310
  • You're coming out.
  • 00:07:41.744 --> 00:07:45.147
  • Turn around 60 times.
  • 00:07:45.147 --> 00:07:48.217
  • When you get finished, there's a pot of gold at the end.
  • 00:07:48.217 --> 00:07:53.189
  • No one wants to praise and shout
  • 00:07:53.823 --> 00:07:57.527
  • Over.
  • 00:07:57.760 --> 00:07:58.094
  • I'm dead.
  • 00:07:58.094 --> 00:08:02.064
  • You're
  • 00:08:02.298 --> 00:08:02.999
  • Looking at a walking dead man.
  • 00:08:02.999 --> 00:08:08.237
  • Dead to his flesh and to sin.
  • 00:08:08.871 --> 00:08:13.709
  • Because if you don't die to your flesh
  • 00:08:14.510 --> 00:08:18.080
  • And to sin, you will die
  • 00:08:18.581 --> 00:08:22.251
  • And die and die and die again.
  • 00:08:22.251 --> 00:08:26.455
  • Because hell never stops killing you.
  • 00:08:27.189 --> 00:08:36.399
  • And if we were to shout about anything,
  • 00:08:37.199 --> 00:08:42.104
  • It should be this statement right here.
  • 00:08:42.104 --> 00:08:45.708
  • I was dead,
  • 00:08:46.042 --> 00:08:48.678
  • But god
  • 00:08:48.678 --> 00:08:50.713
  • Sent jesus,
  • 00:08:50.713 --> 00:08:52.715
  • And he touched my casket.
  • 00:08:52.715 --> 00:08:55.251
  • And i was resurrected to new life with him.
  • 00:08:55.251 --> 00:08:58.721
  • Now i am a new creation.
  • 00:08:58.721 --> 00:09:01.824
  • Bought and purchased with the blood of jesus christ.
  • 00:09:01.824 --> 00:09:05.928
  • So i am no longer who i used to be.
  • 00:09:05.928 --> 00:09:09.265
  • I have not yet become who he's making me,
  • 00:09:09.265 --> 00:09:12.401
  • But i am nowhere near who i used to be
  • 00:09:12.401 --> 00:09:16.072
  • Because of the grace of jesus christ.
  • 00:09:16.072 --> 00:09:19.675
  • And when you know that you had great sin in your life,
  • 00:09:19.675 --> 00:09:23.546
  • But he gave you great grace, how can you remain silent?
  • 00:09:23.546 --> 00:09:27.650
  • How can you sit there like your life is all perfect
  • 00:09:27.650 --> 00:09:31.420
  • And everything is working out the way you intended for it
  • 00:09:31.420 --> 00:09:34.757
  • To work out? no. no, baby.
  • 00:09:34.757 --> 00:09:36.626
  • If it had not been for the grace of jesus christ,
  • 00:09:36.626 --> 00:09:39.729
  • You would have died the death of dying.
  • 00:09:39.729 --> 00:09:42.365
  • But god sent his son to save you.
  • 00:09:42.365 --> 00:09:46.736
  • And every time your eyes opened up in the morning
  • 00:09:47.770 --> 00:09:50.806
  • And you suck it air in your lungs,
  • 00:09:50.806 --> 00:09:53.242
  • You should lift your hands and say.
  • 00:09:53.242 --> 00:09:55.111
  • But by the grace of jesus christ.
  • 00:09:55.111 --> 00:10:05.655
  • Satan had a plot, but jesus had a plan.
  • 00:10:06.522 --> 00:10:10.192
  • And every day you wake up, it's a threat to the enemy to serve.
  • 00:10:10.192 --> 00:10:14.230
  • Notice to him
  • 00:10:14.230 --> 00:10:15.431
  • That his part did not work over the plan of jesus christ
  • 00:10:15.431 --> 00:10:18.601
  • And everything that he tried.
  • 00:10:18.601 --> 00:10:20.403
  • Every weapon that he formed,
  • 00:10:20.403 --> 00:10:22.038
  • Every weapon that he turned against,
  • 00:10:22.038 --> 00:10:24.073
  • It did not prosper because his grace covered.
  • 00:10:24.073 --> 00:10:27.343
  • And i wonder, is anybody grateful for the grace of jesus?
  • 00:10:27.343 --> 00:10:31.947
  • If you're grateful,
  • 00:10:31.947 --> 00:10:33.349
  • I dare you to hop up on your feet and shout, thank you!
  • 00:10:33.349 --> 00:10:47.730
  • Only a prideful person can't say
  • 00:10:48.364 --> 00:10:50.700
  • Thank you to someone that gave them something.
  • 00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:59.408
  • Only a narcissist
  • 00:10:59.842 --> 00:11:02.611
  • Can say thank you
  • 00:11:02.611 --> 00:11:04.980
  • To someone that's given them something.
  • 00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:10.786
  • We have to get out of the habit.
  • 00:11:11.420 --> 00:11:15.024
  • Of coming
  • 00:11:15.324 --> 00:11:17.259
  • Into the house of god.
  • 00:11:17.259 --> 00:11:20.796
  • Him giving his life for us and us.
  • 00:11:20.796 --> 00:11:26.402
  • Not simply saying thank you.
  • 00:11:27.002 --> 00:11:31.373
  • We've made church about us.
  • 00:11:31.974 --> 00:11:38.614
  • Although i like it,
  • 00:11:39.081 --> 00:11:41.517
  • It's not about the lights.
  • 00:11:41.517 --> 00:11:44.754
  • It's not about the fog.
  • 00:11:44.754 --> 00:11:47.523
  • It's not about the speakers.
  • 00:11:47.523 --> 00:11:48.891
  • It's not about the beautiful edifice.
  • 00:11:48.891 --> 00:11:51.193
  • It's not about any of those.
  • 00:11:51.193 --> 00:11:52.228
  • It's about the grace.
  • 00:11:52.228 --> 00:11:56.065
  • That jesus has given us.
  • 00:11:56.599 --> 00:12:00.035
  • If a worship team wasn't on the stage,
  • 00:12:00.870 --> 00:12:02.838
  • Would you still worship?
  • 00:12:02.838 --> 00:12:05.908
  • If no power was in the building,
  • 00:12:06.542 --> 00:12:08.177
  • Would you still praise him?
  • 00:12:08.177 --> 00:12:11.647
  • If no greeters were in the lobby,
  • 00:12:11.647 --> 00:12:13.582
  • Would you still thank him?
  • 00:12:13.582 --> 00:12:16.118
  • If there was no parking lot
  • 00:12:16.118 --> 00:12:17.353
  • Attendants helping you park in your favorite spot,
  • 00:12:17.353 --> 00:12:20.256
  • Would you still lift up a hallelujah?
  • 00:12:20.256 --> 00:12:22.792
  • It ain't about any of those things.
  • 00:12:22.792 --> 00:12:25.060
  • And all those. those things are nice.
  • 00:12:25.060 --> 00:12:27.363
  • It's about us coming to lift up the name of jesus.
  • 00:12:27.363 --> 00:12:32.067
  • This is not about us.
  • 00:12:32.067 --> 00:12:34.170
  • It is all about him.
  • 00:12:34.170 --> 00:12:36.338
  • And may we forever be in all of his grace
  • 00:12:36.338 --> 00:12:40.042
  • And his mercy that he is so lavish, given us.
  • 00:12:40.042 --> 00:12:46.015
  • So we have to
  • 00:12:46.382 --> 00:12:47.049
  • Die to sin so that we can live
  • 00:12:47.049 --> 00:12:50.319
  • In freedom.
  • 00:12:50.319 --> 00:12:52.555
  • Galatians chapter two, verse 20
  • 00:12:52.555 --> 00:12:55.858
  • Paul says, i have been crucified with christ,
  • 00:12:55.858 --> 00:12:58.460
  • And i no longer live, but christ lives in me.
  • 00:12:58.460 --> 00:13:01.564
  • The life i now live in the body i live by faith
  • 00:13:01.564 --> 00:13:04.800
  • In the son of god, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
  • 00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:09.471
  • I have been crucified with christ and i no longer live.
  • 00:13:09.471 --> 00:13:13.642
  • Whenever you have an opportunity to have life after dying,
  • 00:13:13.642 --> 00:13:18.247
  • That brings us to a place where we have to thank god
  • 00:13:18.247 --> 00:13:21.717
  • For restoring what was once dead.
  • 00:13:21.717 --> 00:13:23.853
  • How does revival take place?
  • 00:13:23.853 --> 00:13:25.921
  • See restoration means that it still exists.
  • 00:13:25.921 --> 00:13:29.758
  • Restoration means that it still has life in it.
  • 00:13:29.758 --> 00:13:33.095
  • Restoration means that with a couple of tweaks
  • 00:13:33.095 --> 00:13:36.265
  • And a couple of changes, it will be like new again.
  • 00:13:36.265 --> 00:13:39.802
  • But revival means
  • 00:13:39.802 --> 00:13:41.337
  • It was completely dead, and jesus touched it
  • 00:13:41.337 --> 00:13:44.473
  • And breathed new life back into it.
  • 00:13:44.473 --> 00:13:46.575
  • If you want to experience revival in your lifetime,
  • 00:13:46.575 --> 00:13:50.145
  • You have to acknowledge i am dead without jesus christ.
  • 00:13:50.145 --> 00:13:53.916
  • But because of his blood, because of his mercy,
  • 00:13:53.916 --> 00:13:57.119
  • Because of his love for me, he saw fit to give me life.
  • 00:13:57.119 --> 00:14:00.923
  • When i was dead.
  • 00:14:00.923 --> 00:14:06.729
  • Revive.
  • 00:14:06.962 --> 00:14:09.698
  • Me again.
  • 00:14:09.698 --> 00:14:12.368
  • Every day i wake up.
  • 00:14:12.368 --> 00:14:13.435
  • Ask god.
  • 00:14:13.435 --> 00:14:14.003
  • Revive me again.
  • 00:14:14.003 --> 00:14:18.707
  • Make me
  • 00:14:18.941 --> 00:14:20.876
  • New again.
  • 00:14:20.876 --> 00:14:23.412
  • I don't want to be.
  • 00:14:23.412 --> 00:14:26.482
  • Like the older version of myself.
  • 00:14:26.482 --> 00:14:30.786
  • I want to be made over.
  • 00:14:31.287 --> 00:14:36.191
  • I don't just want to settle
  • 00:14:36.792 --> 00:14:37.960
  • For being restored.
  • 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.330
  • I want to be revived.
  • 00:14:41.330 --> 00:14:46.869
  • Family over 20 here.
  • 00:14:47.336 --> 00:14:48.404
  • So. pastoring.
  • 00:14:48.404 --> 00:14:49.071
  • I've been in a lot of hospital
  • 00:14:49.071 --> 00:14:50.205
  • Rooms with people who have been given grave news
  • 00:14:50.205 --> 00:14:54.576
  • Situation in circumstances where doctors
  • 00:14:55.444 --> 00:14:57.579
  • Have come into that room and they have spoken to patients
  • 00:14:57.579 --> 00:14:59.915
  • And told patients, you don't have much longer to live.
  • 00:14:59.915 --> 00:15:04.086
  • You are dying.
  • 00:15:04.420 --> 00:15:09.558
  • I've seen jesus heal their bodies.
  • 00:15:10.326 --> 00:15:13.028
  • Not one of them.
  • 00:15:13.028 --> 00:15:15.698
  • Not one.
  • 00:15:15.698 --> 00:15:17.533
  • Remain silent.
  • 00:15:17.533 --> 00:15:20.803
  • Not one of them
  • 00:15:20.803 --> 00:15:22.438
  • Remain thankless.
  • 00:15:22.438 --> 00:15:25.674
  • Not one of them.
  • 00:15:26.041 --> 00:15:28.911
  • Live the rest of their life.
  • 00:15:28.911 --> 00:15:31.280
  • Not overwhelmed by the mercy of jesus christ.
  • 00:15:31.280 --> 00:15:37.553
  • See, when you
  • 00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:38.520
  • Know that you were dead.
  • 00:15:38.520 --> 00:15:42.091
  • But god.
  • 00:15:42.358 --> 00:15:44.860
  • How can you not lift up your hands
  • 00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:48.897
  • And say
  • 00:15:49.131 --> 00:15:51.100
  • Thank you?
  • 00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:55.738
  • How can you not stand in his presence
  • 00:15:56.538 --> 00:16:00.609
  • And give him back the breath
  • 00:16:01.210 --> 00:16:03.112
  • That he gave you?
  • 00:16:03.112 --> 00:16:09.084
  • We've gotten so accustom.
  • 00:16:09.651 --> 00:16:13.655
  • To not serving god.
  • 00:16:14.123 --> 00:16:17.493
  • But serving the idea of who
  • 00:16:17.493 --> 00:16:19.161
  • We think god is.
  • 00:16:19.161 --> 00:16:25.868
  • That we have
  • 00:16:26.201 --> 00:16:28.003
  • Mentalities, mindsets and perspectives.
  • 00:16:28.003 --> 00:16:33.042
  • That lead us to believe
  • 00:16:33.542 --> 00:16:34.743
  • That we can make it without him.
  • 00:16:34.743 --> 00:16:40.249
  • You can't make it without jesus.
  • 00:16:40.883 --> 00:16:44.787
  • You won't last
  • 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:45.888
  • Without his presence.
  • 00:16:45.888 --> 00:16:50.225
  • You won't make it
  • 00:16:50.659 --> 00:16:51.293
  • Without his power.
  • 00:16:51.293 --> 00:16:55.531
  • We are nothing
  • 00:16:55.864 --> 00:16:58.333
  • Without his anointing.
  • 00:16:58.333 --> 00:17:02.771
  • May we forever
  • 00:17:03.105 --> 00:17:05.841
  • Die to our flesh
  • 00:17:05.841 --> 00:17:10.345
  • So that we can live.
  • 00:17:10.813 --> 00:17:14.283
  • In the freedom
  • 00:17:14.616 --> 00:17:15.250
  • That god has for us.
  • 00:17:15.250 --> 00:17:19.321
  • I need you to hear me when i tell you
  • 00:17:20.122 --> 00:17:21.623
  • You can't carry your ego in the cross at the same time.
  • 00:17:21.623 --> 00:17:28.764
  • You have to let one of them go.
  • 00:17:29.398 --> 00:17:35.270
  • You can't carry your will
  • 00:17:35.838 --> 00:17:38.874
  • And the will of god at the same time.
  • 00:17:38.874 --> 00:17:42.211
  • You have to surrender yours
  • 00:17:42.811 --> 00:17:44.213
  • To his.
  • 00:17:44.213 --> 00:17:47.850
  • The death of your plans
  • 00:17:48.350 --> 00:17:51.587
  • Makes room for the birth
  • 00:17:51.587 --> 00:17:53.255
  • Of his purpose.
  • 00:17:53.255 --> 00:17:57.693
  • And when you give him.
  • 00:17:58.160 --> 00:17:59.361
  • All of you.
  • 00:17:59.361 --> 00:18:02.431
  • He takes your life.
  • 00:18:02.431 --> 00:18:05.367
  • And he makes
  • 00:18:05.367 --> 00:18:07.569
  • Something of it.
  • 00:18:07.569 --> 00:18:10.806
  • And not only does he make something of it
  • 00:18:10.806 --> 00:18:14.176
  • In this life,
  • 00:18:14.176 --> 00:18:16.912
  • He breathes life
  • 00:18:16.912 --> 00:18:20.215
  • Into you so that you could have
  • 00:18:20.215 --> 00:18:22.017
  • Eternal life.
  • 00:18:22.017 --> 00:18:26.088
  • This is why he refers to us
  • 00:18:26.688 --> 00:18:30.592
  • As clay in the hands of the potter.
  • 00:18:31.360 --> 00:18:36.165
  • Because in its own right,
  • 00:18:36.732 --> 00:18:40.068
  • Clay is fragile.
  • 00:18:40.068 --> 00:18:44.506
  • When clay dries
  • 00:18:44.873 --> 00:18:47.976
  • And it falls,
  • 00:18:47.976 --> 00:18:50.279
  • It shatters.
  • 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:53.782
  • But in the right hands.
  • 00:18:53.782 --> 00:18:56.952
  • He molds you and
  • 00:18:57.352 --> 00:18:58.520
  • Shapes and fixes you to hold
  • 00:18:58.520 --> 00:19:02.524
  • What only he can pour.
  • 00:19:02.991 --> 00:19:09.998
  • The reason he calls you clay
  • 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.467
  • In the hands of the potter,
  • 00:19:12.467 --> 00:19:16.338
  • Is because without his oil,
  • 00:19:16.939 --> 00:19:20.275
  • You█ll crack
  • 00:19:20.609 --> 00:19:24.079
  • And your break.
  • 00:19:24.446 --> 00:19:27.816
  • But with the oil
  • 00:19:28.217 --> 00:19:30.953
  • Of the holy spirit.
  • 00:19:30.953 --> 00:19:34.556
  • It will keep you fixed.
  • 00:19:35.057 --> 00:19:39.027
  • And it will keep you together.
  • 00:19:39.628 --> 00:19:42.831
  • And it will keep you sain.
  • 00:19:42.831 --> 00:19:46.201
  • And it will keep you dying to self.
  • 00:19:46.201 --> 00:19:49.538
  • And it will keep his radiant light shining through you.
  • 00:19:49.538 --> 00:19:53.775
  • May we be a people
  • 00:19:54.209 --> 00:19:55.510
  • That are not lovers of ourselves.
  • 00:19:55.510 --> 00:19:59.348
  • Coming to see a man entertain you.
  • 00:20:00.082 --> 00:20:07.522
  • But may we be a people
  • 00:20:07.990 --> 00:20:10.792
  • That come
  • 00:20:10.792 --> 00:20:12.561
  • On fire.
  • 00:20:12.561 --> 00:20:14.863
  • Ready to set the world on fire
  • 00:20:14.863 --> 00:20:17.032
  • Around us.
  • 00:20:17.032 --> 00:20:24.573
  • Point number three is this.
  • 00:20:25.173 --> 00:20:28.210
  • You have to die to the world.
  • 00:20:28.210 --> 00:20:30.946
  • To live in hope.
  • 00:20:30.946 --> 00:20:34.283
  • Philippians chapter three, verse seven through eight says,
  • 00:20:35.417 --> 00:20:38.120
  • But whatever were gains to me, i now consider a loss for
  • 00:20:38.120 --> 00:20:41.156
  • The sake of christ.
  • 00:20:41.156 --> 00:20:43.592
  • What is more,
  • 00:20:43.959 --> 00:20:45.894
  • I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth
  • 00:20:45.894 --> 00:20:50.766
  • Of knowing christ jesus my lord,
  • 00:20:50.766 --> 00:20:54.269
  • For whose sake i have lost all things.
  • 00:20:54.269 --> 00:20:57.639
  • I consider them now garbage
  • 00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:01.543
  • That i may gain christ.
  • 00:21:02.077 --> 00:21:06.715
  • Paul had a résumé full
  • 00:21:07.182 --> 00:21:08.917
  • Of worldly achievements.
  • 00:21:08.917 --> 00:21:12.120
  • He had roman citizenship,
  • 00:21:12.120 --> 00:21:15.324
  • Pharisaic status,
  • 00:21:15.757 --> 00:21:19.027
  • Rigorous education,
  • 00:21:19.027 --> 00:21:22.431
  • Garnished possessions
  • 00:21:22.431 --> 00:21:23.799
  • From all of his troubles.
  • 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.002
  • Was afluent in the economies
  • 00:21:27.602 --> 00:21:30.439
  • That he found himself in outside of prison,
  • 00:21:30.439 --> 00:21:34.609
  • And acknowledged all that i have.
  • 00:21:35.344 --> 00:21:38.880
  • It's garbage
  • 00:21:39.214 --> 00:21:41.383
  • In comparison to losing it
  • 00:21:41.383 --> 00:21:44.619
  • And gaining christ.
  • 00:21:45.087 --> 00:21:49.858
  • Now make no mistake about it.
  • 00:21:50.492 --> 00:21:53.595
  • Just as i don't believe in prosperity
  • 00:21:53.595 --> 00:21:55.764
  • Gospel, i don't believe in poverty gospel.
  • 00:21:55.764 --> 00:21:58.166
  • Come on.
  • 00:21:58.166 --> 00:22:02.270
  • I'm not telling you to get rid
  • 00:22:02.871 --> 00:22:04.439
  • Of everything you have.
  • 00:22:04.439 --> 00:22:07.576
  • I am telling you what you have.
  • 00:22:07.576 --> 00:22:09.578
  • Pales in comparison
  • 00:22:09.578 --> 00:22:12.381
  • To the person of jesus christ.
  • 00:22:12.981 --> 00:22:16.251
  • And if when he tells you to give those things
  • 00:22:17.185 --> 00:22:20.722
  • Or so those things, or get rid of those things, you cannot,
  • 00:22:20.722 --> 00:22:25.694
  • Then those things have become
  • 00:22:26.328 --> 00:22:28.730
  • A greater savior in your life than he is.
  • 00:22:28.730 --> 00:22:33.301
  • And paul teaches us.
  • 00:22:33.769 --> 00:22:36.705
  • You have to die to the world
  • 00:22:36.705 --> 00:22:39.374
  • So that you can live in hope.
  • 00:22:39.374 --> 00:22:43.278
  • Family.
  • 00:22:43.512 --> 00:22:44.312
  • You cannot gain the hope of heaven
  • 00:22:44.312 --> 00:22:46.982
  • While holding on to the weight of the world.
  • 00:22:46.982 --> 00:22:51.386
  • Dying to self
  • 00:22:51.753 --> 00:22:53.789
  • Means that you die to the world.
  • 00:22:53.789 --> 00:22:58.427
  • What's temporary?
  • 00:22:58.860 --> 00:23:01.963
  • What will fade?
  • 00:23:02.330 --> 00:23:04.933
  • What is a vapor?
  • 00:23:04.933 --> 00:23:07.102
  • What will be gone in the blink of an eye?
  • 00:23:07.102 --> 00:23:11.006
  • Scripture teaches us life is here
  • 00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:14.443
  • One moment and gone the next.
  • 00:23:14.443 --> 00:23:18.847
  • But what is eternal.
  • 00:23:19.314 --> 00:23:22.517
  • Is when you die to self.
  • 00:23:23.051 --> 00:23:26.221
  • And gain a life worth living.
  • 00:23:26.855 --> 00:23:30.725
  • Because you surrender your all to jesus.
  • 00:23:30.725 --> 00:23:36.398
  • Family.
  • 00:23:36.631 --> 00:23:38.733
  • This is a daily die.
  • 00:23:38.733 --> 00:23:42.404
  • Because every day we wake up,
  • 00:23:43.038 --> 00:23:46.241
  • Our flesh screams and reminds us
  • 00:23:46.241 --> 00:23:48.944
  • That it is alive and well.
  • 00:23:48.944 --> 00:23:52.380
  • And you have to speak to your flesh
  • 00:23:53.148 --> 00:23:56.251
  • And remind your flesh.
  • 00:23:56.718 --> 00:23:57.786
  • You do not rule me.
  • 00:23:57.786 --> 00:24:00.322
  • You do not lead me.
  • 00:24:00.322 --> 00:24:02.557
  • You are not my god.
  • 00:24:02.557 --> 00:24:05.794
  • I will do what he says.
  • 00:24:05.794 --> 00:24:07.629
  • I will do.
  • 00:24:07.629 --> 00:24:10.031
  • And i will be disciplined enough to become
  • 00:24:10.031 --> 00:24:12.400
  • Who he desires for me to become.
  • 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:19.307
  • What the world calls loss.
  • 00:24:19.875 --> 00:24:23.245
  • The gospel calls gain.
  • 00:24:23.245 --> 00:24:26.314
  • Paul says all that i have been through,
  • 00:24:27.115 --> 00:24:30.352
  • The pain,
  • 00:24:30.652 --> 00:24:32.754
  • The torture,
  • 00:24:32.754 --> 00:24:34.789
  • The imprisonment,
  • 00:24:34.789 --> 00:24:36.758
  • The beatings, the isolation,
  • 00:24:36.758 --> 00:24:40.362
  • The losses.
  • 00:24:40.695 --> 00:24:43.698
  • It is all for the advancement
  • 00:24:43.698 --> 00:24:46.835
  • Of the gospel
  • 00:24:46.835 --> 00:24:48.770
  • Of jesus christ.
  • 00:24:48.770 --> 00:24:53.808
  • All of hell
  • 00:24:54.142 --> 00:24:55.010
  • Will come against you when you die.
  • 00:24:55.010 --> 00:24:59.214
  • Think it not strange
  • 00:24:59.648 --> 00:25:02.317
  • The relationships you thought that would be
  • 00:25:02.317 --> 00:25:04.286
  • With you forever.
  • 00:25:04.286 --> 00:25:07.589
  • Withher.
  • 00:25:07.822 --> 00:25:09.724
  • When you get sold out for jesus.
  • 00:25:09.724 --> 00:25:12.727
  • I'm so grateful to have gone on this journey
  • 00:25:13.628 --> 00:25:15.730
