♪♪
00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:08.091
♪♪
00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.500
Hey, family, i bring you greetings
00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:18.968
From jacksonville, florida.
00:00:18.968 --> 00:00:20.437
I am so honored and elated
00:00:20.437 --> 00:00:22.639
That you would take out time to lean into this broadcast.
00:00:22.639 --> 00:00:26.409
I'm excited about today's message,
00:00:26.409 --> 00:00:28.545
And i want to start it off with the question
00:00:28.545 --> 00:00:30.647
Have you ever been restricted, held back,
00:00:30.647 --> 00:00:33.616
Limited by circumstances or situations?
00:00:33.616 --> 00:00:37.787
Maybe you've been limited or held hostage
00:00:37.787 --> 00:00:40.790
In a season that you wanted to get out of.
00:00:40.790 --> 00:00:44.894
Have you ever been restricted by someone else who didn't see
00:00:44.894 --> 00:00:47.897
What you saw for your future and your destiny?
00:00:47.897 --> 00:00:51.501
What happens, however, when that someone is you?
00:00:51.501 --> 00:00:55.371
Today?
00:00:55.605 --> 00:00:56.673
Let's go into the message as we unpack this word
00:00:56.673 --> 00:00:59.075
That god has given me that i believe
00:00:59.075 --> 00:01:00.844
Is going to transform you, entitled set free from me.
00:01:00.844 --> 00:01:05.348
But let's let's be honest right here out the gate.
00:01:06.349 --> 00:01:09.252
How many of you have what you would define
00:01:09.252 --> 00:01:13.890
As a enemy or enemies?
00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:17.427
Raise your hands if you're with them.
00:01:17.427 --> 00:01:20.630
Don't raise your hand.
00:01:20.630 --> 00:01:25.702
But how
00:01:25.935 --> 00:01:26.903
Many of you have some people in your life
00:01:26.903 --> 00:01:29.639
That you would define as an enemy?
00:01:30.406 --> 00:01:36.246
How many of you
00:01:36.613 --> 00:01:39.115
Would also categorize and define that person
00:01:39.115 --> 00:01:42.919
As someone that intentionally tries
00:01:43.686 --> 00:01:47.924
To hold you back from being who
00:01:47.924 --> 00:01:51.194
Christ desires for you to be?
00:01:51.194 --> 00:01:54.531
How many you can think of somebody?
00:01:54.531 --> 00:01:58.501
How many of you
00:01:58.902 --> 00:02:00.803
Would define that person
00:02:00.803 --> 00:02:03.273
As your own self?
00:02:03.273 --> 00:02:11.381
Let let's be honest.
00:02:11.848 --> 00:02:15.818
Our biggest enemy
00:02:16.252 --> 00:02:19.455
With flesh.
00:02:19.455 --> 00:02:22.759
Is our own self.
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.296
The person that holds you back
00:02:26.296 --> 00:02:28.131
From accomplishing the things that god desires for you.
00:02:28.131 --> 00:02:31.100
The person that holds you back
00:02:31.100 --> 00:02:32.569
From seeing the very things god has spoken to you.
00:02:32.569 --> 00:02:35.638
The person that holds you back
00:02:35.638 --> 00:02:37.040
From spending time in the word of god.
00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:39.075
The person that holds you back
00:02:39.075 --> 00:02:40.710
From spending time in the presence of god.
00:02:40.710 --> 00:02:42.612
The person holding you back from being all in in worship.
00:02:42.612 --> 00:02:47.750
Ain't nobody else.
00:02:47.750 --> 00:02:51.221
It's you.
00:02:51.521 --> 00:02:54.190
Therefore, by definition,
00:02:54.190 --> 00:02:57.026
In the flesh,
00:02:57.026 --> 00:02:59.195
You are your own worst enemy.
00:02:59.195 --> 00:03:04.033
I'm not just talking to you.
00:03:04.634 --> 00:03:05.602
I'm talking to me too.
00:03:05.602 --> 00:03:07.704
There are things
00:03:07.704 --> 00:03:09.539
That i am supposed to see that i have not seen because of me.
00:03:09.539 --> 00:03:14.811
There are things that i have been supposed
00:03:14.811 --> 00:03:17.247
To have walked into by now that i have not walked into
00:03:17.247 --> 00:03:21.017
Because of me.
00:03:21.017 --> 00:03:22.151
There are blessings and and doors and opportunities and
00:03:22.151 --> 00:03:27.090
And certain levels of favor that god desires for me
00:03:27.090 --> 00:03:31.995
To steward, that i have not steward it because of me
00:03:31.995 --> 00:03:36.699
And what i have often found is so often it's easy
00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:40.503
To forgive other people for what they have done to us.
00:03:40.503 --> 00:03:43.906
But it's difficult to forgive ourselves
00:03:44.741 --> 00:03:48.478
For what we did to ourselves.
00:03:48.478 --> 00:03:52.248
Some of us
00:03:52.548 --> 00:03:53.783
Are holding on to guilt and shame and condemnation
00:03:53.783 --> 00:03:58.521
From decisions we made years and years and years ago.
00:03:58.521 --> 00:04:02.759
Some of you have not forgiven yourself
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.662
From something you did to yourself.
00:04:05.662 --> 00:04:08.598
Five, ten, 15, 20, 30 years ago and today,
00:04:08.598 --> 00:04:14.270
My prayer is that you would break free of the condemnation
00:04:14.270 --> 00:04:19.342
Of the guilt, of the shame from the insecurities
00:04:19.342 --> 00:04:23.746
That god never intended for you to steward,
00:04:23.746 --> 00:04:26.849
So that you can become everything
00:04:26.849 --> 00:04:29.152
That jesus desires for you.
00:04:29.152 --> 00:04:30.987
And make no mistake about it.
00:04:30.987 --> 00:04:32.822
You should not forgive yourself because you are
00:04:32.822 --> 00:04:36.125
That great.
00:04:36.125 --> 00:04:39.128
You should forgive yourself
00:04:39.128 --> 00:04:41.030
Because jesus has already forgiven you,
00:04:41.030 --> 00:04:43.633
And he's already declared over you that my grace
00:04:43.633 --> 00:04:47.570
Is sufficient for you.
00:04:48.037 --> 00:04:49.672
And if his grace is sufficient for me,
00:04:49.672 --> 00:04:52.775
Who am i to deny the grace he has given me?
00:04:52.775 --> 00:04:56.512
Who am i to refuse to receive something
00:04:56.512 --> 00:04:59.415
That an almighty savior desires for me to receive?
00:04:59.415 --> 00:05:02.919
Who am i to say that i am less than what he has called me?
00:05:02.919 --> 00:05:06.889
Who am i to deny what god has said about me?
00:05:06.889 --> 00:05:10.893
I am not god.
00:05:10.893 --> 00:05:12.161
And so therefore,
00:05:12.161 --> 00:05:13.196
If god has forgiven me, i should forgive me too.
00:05:13.196 --> 00:05:16.799
And you free yourself of the prison of condemned
00:05:16.799 --> 00:05:20.470
Nation, and forgive yourself for the things you did to yourself
00:05:20.470 --> 00:05:24.440
That has held you back from some of the things you knew
00:05:24.440 --> 00:05:26.876
You were supposed to walk into.
00:05:26.876 --> 00:05:30.780
Some of us
00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:33.750
Are still holding on
00:05:33.750 --> 00:05:36.386
To the guilt and the shame
00:05:36.386 --> 00:05:38.788
Of sexual sin.
00:05:38.788 --> 00:05:41.090
That you ask god for forgiveness of.
00:05:41.090 --> 00:05:44.660
Some of you are still holding on
00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:47.330
To the guilt and shame from the addiction
00:05:47.330 --> 00:05:50.600
That you no longer have, that you struggle with.
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.470
Some of us are still holding on to the guilt and the shame
00:05:54.470 --> 00:05:57.740
Of the relationship
00:05:57.740 --> 00:05:58.941
That we have with either our parents or our kids,
00:05:58.941 --> 00:06:02.211
That we've asked god to restore and forgive us on.
00:06:02.211 --> 00:06:05.848
And we're working on those things to be more like christ.
00:06:05.848 --> 00:06:09.419
But you will never be more like christ
00:06:09.419 --> 00:06:11.387
If you still hold yourself to a standard of unforgiveness.
00:06:11.387 --> 00:06:17.460
Romans chapter eight.
00:06:17.960 --> 00:06:21.631
It's very clear to us, verse number one.
00:06:21.631 --> 00:06:23.800
Therefore there is now, which means i don't have to wait
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:28.004
Because jesus made it
00:06:28.504 --> 00:06:29.672
Available to me right now.
00:06:29.672 --> 00:06:33.476
Therefore, there is now no condemnation
00:06:33.476 --> 00:06:36.245
For those who are in christ jesus,
00:06:36.245 --> 00:06:40.683
Because through christ jesus, the law of the spirit
00:06:41.684 --> 00:06:44.887
Who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
00:06:44.887 --> 00:06:49.625
And so the thing that i have to
00:06:49.625 --> 00:06:51.561
Be set free from, i have to be set free from me
00:06:51.561 --> 00:06:55.665
Because i am the biggest enemy in the flesh
00:06:55.665 --> 00:06:59.001
To my own self.
00:06:59.001 --> 00:07:02.438
One of the things that i had to learn is
00:07:03.272 --> 00:07:05.308
I will never advance beyond the image i have of myself.
00:07:05.308 --> 00:07:10.012
And if i always hold myself
00:07:10.613 --> 00:07:12.915
To the image of guilt and shame, guess what happens?
00:07:12.915 --> 00:07:16.152
I always return
00:07:16.152 --> 00:07:17.587
Back to the guilt
00:07:17.587 --> 00:07:18.588
And the shame of what was and what i did,
00:07:18.588 --> 00:07:21.424
Instead of stepping into the freedom
00:07:21.424 --> 00:07:23.359
That god has provided for me through his son
00:07:23.359 --> 00:07:26.095
And the grace that jesus has given me.
00:07:26.095 --> 00:07:28.364
And if i am not careful, i will remain a personality
00:07:28.364 --> 00:07:32.668
To my past.
00:07:32.668 --> 00:07:33.769
Instead of walking in purpose.
00:07:33.769 --> 00:07:38.708
Today, my prayer
00:07:39.108 --> 00:07:39.942
Is that you get set free
00:07:39.942 --> 00:07:43.012
From you.
00:07:43.012 --> 00:07:45.548
I want you to write this down.
00:07:45.548 --> 00:07:48.050
Point number one.
00:07:48.050 --> 00:07:51.387
Guilt chains
00:07:51.687 --> 00:07:53.656
You to the scene of the crime.
00:07:53.656 --> 00:07:57.126
Grace gives you the keys
00:07:57.627 --> 00:07:59.095
To walk away.
00:07:59.095 --> 00:08:02.565
Guilt change you to what you did.
00:08:03.232 --> 00:08:06.202
Who you were.
00:08:06.202 --> 00:08:08.738
How you responded.
00:08:08.738 --> 00:08:11.240
How you reacted.
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.175
Guilt always takes you back to the scene of the crime.
00:08:13.175 --> 00:08:16.712
But it's grace that frees you.
00:08:16.712 --> 00:08:19.682
Of the chains that have been holding you back
00:08:19.682 --> 00:08:22.184
From becoming who jesus desires for you to become.
00:08:22.184 --> 00:08:25.988
And hear me again. family.
00:08:25.988 --> 00:08:27.590
We are not free in this
00:08:27.590 --> 00:08:29.258
Because we are good and we made the right decisions.
00:08:29.258 --> 00:08:31.861
And because
00:08:31.861 --> 00:08:32.995
We're working on ourselves and we're trying to become
00:08:32.995 --> 00:08:35.164
Our best selves, you in your best effort,
00:08:35.164 --> 00:08:37.466
Can't become your best self if it is not for the grace
00:08:37.466 --> 00:08:40.703
Of jesus christ.
00:08:40.703 --> 00:08:41.871
You can't do anything aside from the blood
00:08:41.871 --> 00:08:45.274
And the grace of jesus christ to improve or fix your situation
00:08:45.274 --> 00:08:49.245
In your circumstance, but because of his grace
00:08:49.245 --> 00:08:51.914
And his mercy, we can be more like christ.
00:08:51.914 --> 00:08:57.420
Scripture teaches us again.
00:08:58.020 --> 00:08:59.922
Therefore there is now no condemnation
00:08:59.922 --> 00:09:02.592
For those who are in christ jesus.
00:09:02.592 --> 00:09:05.127
How do you know when you are
00:09:05.127 --> 00:09:06.495
In christ jesus, when you no longer
00:09:06.495 --> 00:09:09.198
Condemn yourself for the things that you did,
00:09:09.198 --> 00:09:12.568
You see yourself through the lens of grace.
00:09:13.469 --> 00:09:16.305
This is not a license for you to sin, but it is a license
00:09:16.305 --> 00:09:19.809
For you to honor the grace that jesus has given you.
00:09:19.809 --> 00:09:23.546
This is not a license for you to look over your mistakes
00:09:24.680 --> 00:09:27.783
And your your habits and your routines.
00:09:27.783 --> 00:09:30.519
And for some of us, our rituals and and our excuses,
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.856
This is a license for you to turn away from your sin
00:09:33.856 --> 00:09:38.294
And repent and return back to the feet of jesus to receive
00:09:38.294 --> 00:09:42.565
The grace that only he can give.
00:09:42.565 --> 00:09:44.634
Repenting is simply not apologizing.
00:09:44.634 --> 00:09:47.303
Repenting is apologizing and changing course of action
00:09:47.303 --> 00:09:51.440
And saying, god,
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:52.675
I never want to return back to the scene of the crime again
00:09:52.675 --> 00:09:55.778
Because you have restored me and therefore my path is change.
00:09:55.778 --> 00:09:59.815
My destination has changed.
00:09:59.815 --> 00:10:01.751
My future has changed.
00:10:01.751 --> 00:10:03.319
My mind has changed.
00:10:03.319 --> 00:10:04.787
My life is changed because of this great grace.
00:10:04.787 --> 00:10:08.024
And i wonder, is there anybody glad that
00:10:08.024 --> 00:10:10.226
When you are in christ jesus, there is no longer condemnation?
00:10:10.226 --> 00:10:14.530
Now, i may not be talking to you because spiritually
00:10:14.530 --> 00:10:18.000
You may not be that bad of a spiritual criminal.
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:21.170
But for some of us we were terrible spiritual criminals
00:10:21.170 --> 00:10:25.174
And we have great sin in our lives.
00:10:25.174 --> 00:10:27.510
I didn't say used to.
00:10:27.510 --> 00:10:29.245
I said we have great sin, present tense.
00:10:29.245 --> 00:10:32.915
And if you're sitting beside somebody
00:10:32.915 --> 00:10:34.884
And they're acting like
00:10:34.884 --> 00:10:35.818
They don't have
00:10:35.818 --> 00:10:36.852
Present sin in their life, and they are in dire
00:10:36.852 --> 00:10:39.722
Need of the grace of jesus christ,
00:10:39.722 --> 00:10:41.691
You have then found the area that they need god to cover them
00:10:41.691 --> 00:10:45.728
With the grace. it's they have a lying problem.
00:10:45.728 --> 00:10:50.833
I don't care who you find here in this earth.
00:10:51.701 --> 00:10:54.203
They have a problem with sin
00:10:54.203 --> 00:10:57.807
And we are in need of the blood of jesus christ.
00:10:57.807 --> 00:11:01.777
I'm so tired of fake and phony church of of people
00:11:01.777 --> 00:11:05.314
Acting like this stuff is all together
00:11:05.314 --> 00:11:07.616
And they are perfect and and they don't sin and
00:11:07.616 --> 00:11:11.120
And they don't think certain thoughts
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.189
And they don't never fall and make mistakes. no.
00:11:13.189 --> 00:11:16.125
We have all fallen in dire need of the grace of
00:11:16.125 --> 00:11:19.829
Jesus christ.
00:11:19.829 --> 00:11:23.966
So let's put it in context.
00:11:24.567 --> 00:11:26.602
If it had not been for the grace of jesus christ,
00:11:26.602 --> 00:11:30.439
You will live the rest of your life.
00:11:30.439 --> 00:11:32.108
Condemn him to the sin that you committed.
00:11:32.108 --> 00:11:40.816
Yeah.
00:11:41.050 --> 00:11:42.051
So the person that we need to be free from.
00:11:42.051 --> 00:11:45.354
Is we need to be freed from ourselves.
00:11:46.122 --> 00:11:48.924
We focus so much about us
00:11:48.924 --> 00:11:52.561
And what church does for us. and
00:11:53.195 --> 00:11:56.732
How am i going to look when i go to church
00:11:56.732 --> 00:11:58.801
And how does church make me feel?
00:11:58.801 --> 00:12:02.071
Did i leave feeling a certain kind of way?
00:12:02.071 --> 00:12:05.341
We make all of life about us.
00:12:05.975 --> 00:12:08.778
When the reason you're here is to make all of your life
00:12:08.778 --> 00:12:12.047
About proclaiming the gospel of jesus christ.
00:12:12.047 --> 00:12:15.584
Your life should be a proclamation
00:12:15.584 --> 00:12:17.987
Of the grace of jesus christ.
00:12:17.987 --> 00:12:20.156
What do you mean, pastor?
00:12:20.156 --> 00:12:21.490
When people see you,
00:12:21.490 --> 00:12:23.058
They should see that jesus truly redeems and saves,
00:12:23.058 --> 00:12:27.296
Because only a savior can free you from the sin that
00:12:27.296 --> 00:12:30.933
You were held captive to.
00:12:30.933 --> 00:12:32.401
When people identify you based upon where you are now
00:12:32.401 --> 00:12:36.572
And they recognize where jesus has bought you from.
00:12:36.572 --> 00:12:39.341
It should be a testimony
00:12:39.341 --> 00:12:40.910
That his grace is truly sufficient because you know
00:12:40.910 --> 00:12:44.747
What he delivered you from.
00:12:44.747 --> 00:12:46.248
You know what he freed you from.
00:12:46.248 --> 00:12:48.017
You know the the chains and the prison.
00:12:48.017 --> 00:12:50.553
He let you escape from because of his great grace
00:12:50.553 --> 00:12:53.756
And his mercy, not because of your great works and your gifts.
00:12:53.756 --> 00:13:01.931
So it is
00:13:02.198 --> 00:13:04.133
The guilt of our lives that chains us to the scene
00:13:04.133 --> 00:13:07.069
Of the crime.
00:13:07.069 --> 00:13:08.137
But it is the grace of jesus that gives us the keys
00:13:08.137 --> 00:13:11.307
To walk free.
00:13:11.307 --> 00:13:14.009
It was the cross that took our shame.
00:13:14.009 --> 00:13:17.513
On us to go to second
00:13:18.013 --> 00:13:18.914
Corinthians chapter 12.
00:13:18.914 --> 00:13:23.452
Paul continues to teach us in verse number nine.
00:13:24.453 --> 00:13:27.823
But he said to me,
00:13:28.257 --> 00:13:30.826
My grace is sufficient for you,
00:13:30.826 --> 00:13:35.231
For my power is made
00:13:35.664 --> 00:13:37.833
Perfect in weakness.
00:13:37.833 --> 00:13:41.136
Therefore i will boast
00:13:41.136 --> 00:13:43.305
All the more gladly about my weakness,
00:13:43.305 --> 00:13:46.909
So that christ's power may rest in me.
00:13:46.909 --> 00:13:50.713
What is paul saying?
00:13:50.713 --> 00:13:52.114
I'm not teaching you how wise i am.
00:13:52.114 --> 00:13:54.583
I'm not teaching you
00:13:54.583 --> 00:13:55.784
How much knowledge i have of jesus christ just to teach you
00:13:55.784 --> 00:13:59.088
About the knowledge of jesus christ.
00:13:59.088 --> 00:14:00.789
I'm not demonstrating in boasting
00:14:00.789 --> 00:14:02.591
At how many languages i speak.
00:14:02.591 --> 00:14:04.293
I'm not even bragging about
00:14:04.293 --> 00:14:05.761
How much of the new testament that i've written.
00:14:05.761 --> 00:14:08.130
I'm telling you that i am sin prone
00:14:08.130 --> 00:14:10.833
And i have to die to my flesh every single day.
00:14:10.833 --> 00:14:13.636
And the reason i'm sharing this with you
00:14:13.636 --> 00:14:15.704
Is so that you can know that christ is alive and well,
00:14:15.704 --> 00:14:19.041
Because he still continues to live in me and use me
00:14:19.041 --> 00:14:23.479
And demonstrate his power and his grace
00:14:23.479 --> 00:14:26.148
And his mercy through me.
00:14:26.148 --> 00:14:27.683
Being a flawed human being.
00:14:27.683 --> 00:14:29.485
So i boast in jesus, not in myself.
00:14:29.485 --> 00:14:34.023
And that is the gospel we stand on.
00:14:34.790 --> 00:14:37.993
That is the gospel we boast about,
00:14:37.993 --> 00:14:39.862
Not in our perfection, but in our imperfection.
00:14:39.862 --> 00:14:43.532
Serving a savior that is perfect in all of his ways
00:14:43.532 --> 00:14:47.369
And because he is perfect.
00:14:47.369 --> 00:14:48.871
And when we find ourselves in the shadow of the almighty
00:14:48.871 --> 00:14:52.641
Of perfection, we receive his great grace.
00:14:52.641 --> 00:14:57.513
There is nothing
00:14:57.913 --> 00:14:59.949
Like the grace of jesus christ.
00:14:59.949 --> 00:15:02.217
Therefore i will boast all the more gladly
00:15:02.217 --> 00:15:05.587
About my weakness.
00:15:05.587 --> 00:15:09.124
So that christ's power may rest
00:15:09.758 --> 00:15:13.062
On me.
00:15:13.262 --> 00:15:15.698
Paul is emphasizing that god's grace is more
00:15:15.698 --> 00:15:18.100
Powerful than any sin, guilt, or shame that we carry.
00:15:18.100 --> 00:15:20.903
We don't have to hide our weaknesses
00:15:20.903 --> 00:15:24.239
From a savior that desires to save us from them.
00:15:24.239 --> 00:15:28.043
We have to expose our weaknesses so that he can heal
00:15:28.043 --> 00:15:31.780
Those weaknesses and not make us perfect, but make us whole.
00:15:31.780 --> 00:15:37.252
Did you hear what i said?
00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:40.956
His grace and his mercy.
00:15:40.956 --> 00:15:43.158
It doesn't make us perfect in human flesh.
00:15:43.158 --> 00:15:46.128
It makes us whole.
00:15:46.128 --> 00:15:47.629
Receiving this great grace from god.
00:15:47.629 --> 00:15:50.532
So that nothing is missing and nothing is broken.
00:15:50.532 --> 00:15:55.671
I want you to write this down.
00:15:56.271 --> 00:15:57.306
Point number two.
00:15:57.306 --> 00:16:02.011
When we receive this grace, forgiving
00:16:02.845 --> 00:16:04.580
Yourself isn't arrogance.
00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:07.649
It's obedience
00:16:08.017 --> 00:16:09.385
To the god who has already forgiven you.
00:16:09.385 --> 00:16:12.888
Forgiving yourself isn't arrogance.
00:16:13.622 --> 00:16:17.092
It's obedience to the god who has already forgiven you.
00:16:17.092 --> 00:16:21.830
When guilt says you are not enough,
00:16:21.830 --> 00:16:24.066
Grace replies, god loves you more than enough.
00:16:24.066 --> 00:16:27.469
When guilt screams at you that you are a failure.
00:16:28.470 --> 00:16:32.107
Grace whispering to you, you are more than enough.
00:16:32.107 --> 00:16:36.345
When shame tries to cloak you.
00:16:36.945 --> 00:16:40.516
Its glory shows up
00:16:40.949 --> 00:16:43.719
And overwhelms with tries to overwhelm you.
00:16:43.719 --> 00:16:46.655
God's grace does not make us perfect,
00:16:47.456 --> 00:16:50.893
But god's grace does make us whole.
00:16:50.893 --> 00:16:53.996
I'm so glad that his grace
00:16:54.563 --> 00:16:57.633
Is sufficient for me.
00:16:57.633 --> 00:17:02.004
But he said to me, according
00:17:02.604 --> 00:17:03.939
To the second corinthians, chapter 12 verse nine, my grace
00:17:03.939 --> 00:17:07.743
Is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect
00:17:07.743 --> 00:17:12.314
In your weakness.
00:17:12.314 --> 00:17:16.985
This is the power of god.
00:17:17.553 --> 00:17:20.456
Best at work in you
00:17:20.456 --> 00:17:23.392
When you acknowledge your dire need for it.
00:17:23.392 --> 00:17:28.263
Jesus is not looking.
00:17:28.764 --> 00:17:33.969
For the person
00:17:34.303 --> 00:17:35.270
You think you should be.
00:17:35.270 --> 00:17:38.474
He's looking for you.
00:17:38.974 --> 00:17:41.043
In this season, in this circumstance,
00:17:41.043 --> 00:17:44.179
In this trial,
00:17:44.179 --> 00:17:45.514
In this temptation, in this test, to acknowledge
00:17:45.514 --> 00:17:49.318
Your weakness, in your frailty, without his grace
00:17:49.318 --> 00:17:52.721
And his mercy, that's where his power is made.
00:17:52.721 --> 00:17:55.924
Much in your weakness.
00:17:55.924 --> 00:18:00.596
When you say, god, i can't make it without you.
00:18:01.563 --> 00:18:05.134
God, i need you.
00:18:05.501 --> 00:18:06.201
I'm at the end of my rope.
00:18:06.201 --> 00:18:08.770
I am going to fail miserably without you.
00:18:08.770 --> 00:18:12.241
That's where his supernatural power
00:18:12.241 --> 00:18:15.110
Kicks into place and allows you to have sustaining power
00:18:15.110 --> 00:18:18.981
When you are weak.
00:18:18.981 --> 00:18:20.048
Scripture says he is strong.
00:18:20.048 --> 00:18:24.486
So you have to get out of the way of yourself
00:18:25.420 --> 00:18:29.458
So that the
00:18:29.791 --> 00:18:30.926
Radiant light of jesus christ can shine through you.
00:18:30.926 --> 00:18:33.428
Who are we to think that we are strong enough
00:18:34.396 --> 00:18:36.398
To handle sin?
00:18:36.398 --> 00:18:40.302
Who are we to think that
00:18:40.836 --> 00:18:42.037
We can spend a day or days without getting in his presence?
00:18:42.037 --> 00:18:45.541
Because we are strong enough to fight off the attacks
00:18:45.541 --> 00:18:48.844
And the weapons and the temptation of the enemy.
00:18:48.844 --> 00:18:53.048
Only pride leads us to the place
00:18:53.682 --> 00:18:55.951
Where we spend days outside of his presence.
00:18:55.951 --> 00:19:04.293
Only the
00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:05.394
Sinful nature and the sinful mindset
00:19:05.394 --> 00:19:09.131
Would make us believe
00:19:09.631 --> 00:19:11.133
That we are capable of sustaining our own self.
00:19:11.133 --> 00:19:14.970
Absent of the presence of god.
00:19:14.970 --> 00:19:20.008
It's only pride
00:19:20.375 --> 00:19:22.778
That leads us to believe that we could have
00:19:22.778 --> 00:19:25.914
A life in christ without prayer.
00:19:25.914 --> 00:19:30.919
We need to be set free.
00:19:31.420 --> 00:19:35.224
Set free
00:19:35.490 --> 00:19:37.392
From the chains we've put on ourselves.
00:19:37.392 --> 00:19:46.435
The final verse i want to read to you
00:19:47.269 --> 00:19:48.737
Is philippians chapter three, verse 13.
00:19:48.737 --> 00:19:54.643
Brothers and sisters, i do not consider myself
00:19:55.577 --> 00:19:58.847
Yet to have taken hold of it.
00:19:58.847 --> 00:20:02.251
But one thing i do.
00:20:02.251 --> 00:20:05.821
I forget what is behind.
00:20:06.321 --> 00:20:09.524
I forget the sins of yesterday.
00:20:10.192 --> 00:20:14.029
I forget how many times i have fallen
00:20:14.029 --> 00:20:18.300
And drop the ball and allow my flesh to get the best of me.
00:20:18.300 --> 00:20:23.205
In order for you to be
00:20:23.672 --> 00:20:24.906
Successful in your present and in your future.
00:20:24.906 --> 00:20:27.909
You have to forget the failures of your past.
00:20:27.909 --> 00:20:32.080
Paul says
00:20:32.381 --> 00:20:34.583
This one thing i do,
00:20:34.583 --> 00:20:39.087
Out of all the things paul could have said, he does.
00:20:40.122 --> 00:20:43.158
Out of all the accolades, out of all the accomplishments,
00:20:44.293 --> 00:20:47.229
Out of all the the pinnacles and the mountaintops
00:20:47.229 --> 00:20:50.032
And the goals and the prizes
00:20:50.032 --> 00:20:51.667
That paul could reference in the scripture, this one thing
00:20:51.667 --> 00:20:55.737
I do, forgetting what is behind and our striving towards
00:20:55.737 --> 00:21:00.776
What is ahead.
00:21:00.776 --> 00:21:04.246
I press on
00:21:04.546 --> 00:21:05.580
Towards the goal to win the prize for which god
00:21:05.580 --> 00:21:08.984
Has called me heaven, for heavenward in
00:21:08.984 --> 00:21:12.154
And christ jesus.
00:21:12.154 --> 00:21:17.359
When i read this,
00:21:17.793 --> 00:21:19.928
What resonated with me?
00:21:19.928 --> 00:21:23.231
What spoke to my spirit
00:21:23.231 --> 00:21:26.702
Was point number three.
00:21:26.702 --> 00:21:29.137
And it
00:21:29.371 --> 00:21:30.105
Is this guilt tries to bury you
00:21:30.105 --> 00:21:32.741
Where grace wants to plant you.
00:21:33.408 --> 00:21:38.480
This one thing i do,
00:21:38.914 --> 00:21:42.284
I forget what was
00:21:42.284 --> 00:21:45.921
And are striving towards what is
00:21:46.555 --> 00:21:50.392
And what is to come.
00:21:50.859 --> 00:21:53.628
The future god has for you is far more powerful
00:21:53.628 --> 00:21:57.632
Than the mistake that is behind you.
00:21:57.632 --> 00:22:01.236
The destiny set up ahead of you
00:22:01.870 --> 00:22:04.740
Is greater than the sin that is behind you,
00:22:04.740 --> 00:22:07.876
And so you have to forgive yourself
00:22:08.610 --> 00:22:12.381
So that you can be freed from the prison
00:22:12.381 --> 00:22:14.816
Of condemnation, guilt, and shame.
00:22:14.816 --> 00:22:17.986
Become who jesus christ desires
00:22:18.620 --> 00:22:20.922
For you to become.
00:22:20.922 --> 00:22:24.226
When you let go of guilt,
00:22:24.793 --> 00:22:28.764
You make room
00:22:29.131 --> 00:22:31.099
For grace.
00:22:31.099 --> 00:22:34.569
The things that i've learned.
00:22:35.203 --> 00:22:38.673
Is i can't hold on
00:22:39.107 --> 00:22:40.275
To condemnation, guilt, and shame.
00:22:40.275 --> 00:22:43.712
And striving towards the purpose
00:22:44.346 --> 00:22:46.314
That god desires for me to get.
00:22:46.314 --> 00:22:50.318
I will never
00:22:50.652 --> 00:22:51.286
Fully operate in my purpose
00:22:51.286 --> 00:22:54.523
If i remain a prisoner
00:22:54.523 --> 00:22:57.559
To condemnation,
00:22:57.559 --> 00:22:59.528
Guilt, shame, and insecurity.
00:22:59.528 --> 00:23:03.598
Those things shape my identity.
00:23:04.232 --> 00:23:07.669
When christ says
00:23:08.069 --> 00:23:10.105
Those that are in christ
00:23:10.105 --> 00:23:13.442
Are new creations.
00:23:13.442 --> 00:23:17.279
It's hard for me
00:23:17.679 --> 00:23:19.915
To receive my identity in christ.
00:23:19.915 --> 00:23:23.118
When i constantly looked in the broken mirror
00:23:24.052 --> 00:23:27.088
Of condemnation.
00:23:27.088 --> 00:23:37.265
Moving forward.
00:23:37.632 --> 00:23:41.203
It simply means believing.
00:23:41.203 --> 00:23:44.806
That god's plans,
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.477
Stronger than your past.
00:23:48.477 --> 00:23:54.483
God's purpose
00:23:54.850 --> 00:23:58.019
Is stronger than your past.
00:23:58.019 --> 00:24:01.690
God's grace
00:24:02.023 --> 00:24:04.893
Through his gift to us
00:24:04.893 --> 00:24:07.162
In jesus christ
00:24:07.162 --> 00:24:10.332
Is greater than your sin.
00:24:10.332 --> 00:24:15.704
So don't hold yourself
00:24:16.171 --> 00:24:19.774
In a prison of unforgiveness.
00:24:19.774 --> 00:24:23.311
When jesus says,
00:24:23.712 --> 00:24:26.581
When you ask for forgiveness,
00:24:26.581 --> 00:24:29.951
I not only forgive you,
00:24:30.452 --> 00:24:34.089
But i cleanse you with my blood
00:24:34.089 --> 00:24:37.259
And i make you as white as snow.
00:24:37.893 --> 00:24:42.163
I purify you.
00:24:42.531 --> 00:24:44.399
In the old testament it says
00:24:44.966 --> 00:24:47.369
He takes those transgressions, and he cast them.
00:24:47.369 --> 00:24:51.206
As far as the east is from the west.
00:24:51.206 --> 00:24:55.343
Well, for me, this is the part of our program.
00:24:56.278 --> 00:24:59.414
That's the saddest part.
00:24:59.414 --> 00:25:00.682
It's the part where i come
00:25:00.682 --> 00:25:02.651
And tell you that we are out of time.
00:25:02.651 --> 00:25:04.953
But the good news is, we're not out of this message.
00:25:04.953 --> 00:25:07.989
I want to encourage you to do whatever you can
00:25:07.989 --> 00:25:09.891
To continue to join us here on this broadcast.
00:25:09.891 --> 00:25:12.494
Same place, same time, every single week as we desire
00:25:12.494 --> 00:25:15.830
To bring and push to you the word of god.
00:25:15.830 --> 00:25:20.001
My prayer is that if this message
00:25:20.769 --> 00:25:22.304
Has been a blessing to you,
00:25:22.304 --> 00:25:23.939
That you would take a moment,
00:25:23.939 --> 00:25:25.373
That you would pause throughout your regularly,
00:25:25.373 --> 00:25:28.710
Scheduled programing for the rest of the day and pray for us.
00:25:28.710 --> 00:25:32.781
I want you to pray for two things.
00:25:32.781 --> 00:25:34.883
Pray that god will continually advance our reach
00:25:34.883 --> 00:25:38.253
So that we can spread the gospel of jesus christ.
00:25:38.253 --> 00:25:41.289
And the second thing that i would encourage you to pray for
00:25:41.289 --> 00:25:43.992
Is pray and seek
00:25:43.992 --> 00:25:45.594
God as it pertains to becoming a partner with us.
00:25:45.594 --> 00:25:48.930
This with your prayer
00:25:48.930 --> 00:25:50.398
And your partnership that we're able to continue
00:25:50.398 --> 00:25:53.468
To spread this message we believe in so desperately.
00:25:53.468 --> 00:25:56.705
And if you would do that,
00:25:57.272 --> 00:25:58.306
We at timberlake ministries would be so grateful.
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:01.910
I want to set myself in agreement with you right now
00:26:01.910 --> 00:26:04.312
For the things that you may be believing god for, right now, in
00:26:04.312 --> 00:26:07.716
Jesus name.
00:26:07.716 --> 00:26:08.650
I thank you for my brother and my sister
00:26:08.650 --> 00:26:10.251
That are leaning into this moment watching this broadcast.
00:26:10.251 --> 00:26:12.921
Got gleaning from your word,
00:26:12.921 --> 00:26:14.656
Experiencing your presence, god in your power.
00:26:14.656 --> 00:26:17.058
And i ask that you change us, transform us.
00:26:17.058 --> 00:26:20.161
God continually renew our minds by the word of god and god.
00:26:20.161 --> 00:26:24.232
May we never be the same
00:26:24.232 --> 00:26:25.634
Because we've had this moment in time with you.
00:26:25.634 --> 00:26:28.403
You know the desires of our heart.
00:26:28.403 --> 00:26:30.572
You know the prayer requests of members and sisters.
00:26:30.572 --> 00:26:33.274
And so, god, i ask that you would answer those according
00:26:33.274 --> 00:26:35.744
To your perfect plan and will for their lives.
00:26:35.744 --> 00:26:38.580
It's in your name that we pray.
00:26:38.580 --> 00:26:39.748
In the name of jesus christ, amen.
