00:01:43 Wow.

00:01:45 Wow.

00:01:48 Father, we thank you for this, another opportunity to minister

00:01:51 to these, your precious sheep.

00:01:53 Thank you, Lord, that revelation and knowledge will flow freely,

00:01:58 uninterrupted and unhindered by any satanic or demonic force.

00:02:04 Father, speak through my vocal cords.

00:02:08 I can't do this without you.

00:02:11 Think through my mind.

00:02:15 None of me, all of you.

00:02:20 It's in Jesus' name we pray.

00:02:23 Everybody say it, "Amen."

00:02:25 You may be seated this morning.

00:02:29 If you have your Bibles, go with me to the book of

00:02:33 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 17 through 21 in the NLT.

00:02:39 We're gonna continue with maintaining

00:02:42 your righteous stance.

00:02:44 I'm seeing it already how, yes, there are prophetic things that

00:02:51 are gonna take place.

00:02:52 You can cast out devils, but you can't cast out prophecy.

00:02:56 I understand that we can have 24-hour prayer, but when God

00:02:59 says something is gonna happen, it's gonna happen.

00:03:01 It doesn't mean cancel prayer because prayer can still show up

00:03:05 and do some amazing things when people are going through stuff.

00:03:09 However, as the Christian, we must understand that your mind

00:03:16 is the battleground.

00:03:20 Your mind is the arena of faith.

00:03:22 You will lose it or you will win it in the battleground

00:03:27 of your mind.

00:03:29 You have to understand that Satan's most powerful weapon

00:03:32 is the power of suggestion.

00:03:34 What can he suggest to you?

00:03:37 What can he say to you through vehicles in this world?

00:03:43 And if a person doesn't know his God, and if a person doesn't

00:03:46 know the Word of God, then you're easy prey for deception.

00:03:52 And yet, I am concerned about the Christian who's been saved

00:03:57 for some time.

00:04:00 I'm also concerned about the prophecy that love will grow

00:04:05 and wax cold and wondering how many of you will be here

00:04:10 by the end of the year.

00:04:12 That attack that will show up to try to convince you that

00:04:17 it just doesn't matter.

00:04:20 And all of a sudden, I don't care about the Bible,

00:04:23 and I'm not concerned about God.

00:04:25 And I'm sure right now you can't see yourself there,

00:04:29 which is why you have to make your mind up right now.

00:04:33 "God, I'm in it.

00:04:35 I'm not going nowhere.

00:04:37 Come hell or high water.

00:04:40 I will never let you go.

00:04:44 I will never let you go."

00:04:46 And the way to do that is to keep him on your mind.

00:04:52 There's the battle of the mind.

00:04:53 And with Satan's M.O., it is always to attack you where

00:05:00 your identity is concerned.

00:05:03 There are lots of people who just don't know who they are.

00:05:07 Maybe the issue was being raised by a single mother,

00:05:10 or the issue, maybe you went into foster care,

00:05:14 or all of those are sad.

00:05:18 But once you get born again, Jesus now is responsible

00:05:23 for your identity.

00:05:25 You are the righteousness of God.

00:05:28 He released that attack in the Garden of Eden,

00:05:30 and that's why we are where we are today.

00:05:33 Jesus showed up to reconcile everything,

00:05:36 and the first thing he did is he attacks--he attacks

00:05:39 the Lord's identity, "If thou be the Son of God."

00:05:44 So, the thing we have to be aware of this year,

00:05:48 we've really got to guard our heart and guard our ears

00:05:51 and guard our eyes, and we got to be careful,

00:05:55 'cause, I mean, we're living in the age of social media.

00:05:57 You got to be careful not to allow that to become

00:06:01 your new pastor.

00:06:05 And it starts ministering all kinds of things to you

00:06:09 that you think are true.

00:06:11 But social media is driven by the spirit of mammon.

00:06:18 Mammon is not money.

00:06:20 Mammon is the spirit behind money.

00:06:23 Mammon says you don't need God, you need money.

00:06:28 Mammon says, you know, you cheat to get it.

00:06:32 Mammon says--Mammon's looking for church people,

00:06:34 and you've got to understand the motivation behind social media

00:06:39 and podcasts is I can make money if the clickbait is right.

00:06:44 I remember one time I went in trying to show our broadcast

00:06:49 and found out three different times I was dead.

00:06:51 According to social media, I was gone.

00:06:58 You have got to guard your ears, and you have got to guard

00:07:02 your heart, and you have got to guard your mind,

00:07:05 because those are the entrances into a man's heart.

00:07:08 And Satan knows it, and he wants to do everything he can

00:07:14 to take the church down.

00:07:16 He will fail.

00:07:17 He's tried before.

00:07:18 I don't know why he keep trying to do it.

00:07:20 The church keep rising up no matter how bad it's hit.

00:07:22 It just keeps getting back up.

00:07:24 It keeps getting back up, praise God.

00:07:29 Which is why it is vital that you know and understand that you

00:07:34 are the righteousness of God, not by your works.

00:07:38 You are righteous because of your faith and your belief

00:07:42 in Jesus Christ, and you cannot allow him to take that from you.

00:07:46 Second Corinthians chapter 5 and verse 21,

00:07:50 we'll begin this morning.

00:07:52 He says, "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become

00:07:57 a new person."

00:07:59 So, everybody in here who has made Jesus the Lord of your

00:08:01 life, and you have had the experience of being born again,

00:08:05 this Scripture says that you are a new person.

00:08:08 He's describing the fact that when you got born again,

00:08:11 the old man left, and the new creation came in.

00:08:18 The old man parted, and the new creation came in,

00:08:22 and you have now become a new person based on that new

00:08:26 creation that showed up when you got born again.

00:08:29 He said, "The old life is gone."

00:08:33 Say that out loud, "The old life is gone."

00:08:36 He says, "A new life has begun."

00:08:40 The day you got born again and received that new creation,

00:08:45 a new life has begun.

00:08:49 And all of this is a gift from God.

00:08:52 That's what I need to get you to see.

00:08:54 It's all a gift from God.

00:08:56 Religion loves for us to try to take credit for what has

00:09:00 happened to us.

00:09:02 It is all a gift from God who brought us back to himself

00:09:08 through Christ.

00:09:10 Now, at one time, there was enmity between God and mankind,

00:09:15 sin, because of what happened in the garden,

00:09:17 there was enmity between God and mankind.

00:09:20 But because of Jesus and his shed blood and you receiving

00:09:23 Jesus, we have been brought back to God.

00:09:27 There has been reconciliation between God and man.

00:09:32 We've been brought back through--to God through

00:09:34 Christ Jesus.

00:09:36 Before Christ Jesus--and I don't think people realize that

00:09:39 enmity was between God and man.

00:09:43 And God has given us this task of reconciling people.

00:09:47 So he says, "Now that you who are born again,

00:09:50 you have experienced reconciliation between your God

00:09:54 and yourself," he says, "now I give you the ministry to go out

00:09:58 and tell people to come back, come to God, come to God."

00:10:04 It's not just about our church.

00:10:06 It's not just about what you do.

00:10:08 We have been given the ministry of reconciliation.

00:10:11 When was the last time you shared with someone who's

00:10:15 not born again?

00:10:16 When was the last time you gave witness to Jesus to someone

00:10:20 that's not born again?

00:10:22 Think about somebody had to tell you.

00:10:27 Who was the person that told you?

00:10:29 Who was the person?

00:10:30 I remember--I remember--I mean, had no sense at all as far as

00:10:35 what God was--who he was and didn't know nothing.

00:10:40 I go to my little AME church and Reverend Dunlap, Reverend Wilkes,

00:10:46 Reverend--you know, we had a bunch of reverends came in and

00:10:50 out of AME church.

00:10:51 They shipped them in and out, you know.

00:10:53 Somebody had to come tell me.

00:10:56 I'm praying this year that we will be--we will become

00:11:04 world changers.

00:11:05 When people see "world changers," they're thinking

00:11:07 "whole world."

00:11:08 We're not talking about a whole world.

00:11:10 You can't change the whole world until you've changed--until

00:11:12 your world has been changed.

00:11:15 And when your world has been changed, then you can reach out

00:11:18 and begin to change somebody else's world.

00:11:21 Think about that.

00:11:26 How many people will you encounter this year that don't

00:11:30 know Jesus?

00:11:32 And maybe, just maybe, you're at that place just to share

00:11:38 witness of Jesus.

00:11:41 Last week before the New Year's Eve service, I ran out to get

00:11:44 some--what was that I went out to get?

00:11:47 I got something that had something to do with my

00:11:49 pancakes that night.

00:11:50 And I ran to the store and get it.

00:11:53 Tapper said, "I'll go get it for you."

00:11:55 I said, "No, I want you to go get it for me.

00:11:57 I know exactly what I need.

00:11:58 I'll go in there and get it."

00:11:59 And then we--it was a long line, and, you know, people were,

00:12:01 you know, getting their liquor and all that stuff.

00:12:03 And I was standing behind a guy, and he turned to me, and he

00:12:08 said, "It just irks me, just bothers me, all kinds of things

00:12:13 when people don't have their money ready when they get up to

00:12:16 the cash register."

00:12:18 I said, "Yeah, but this is a new year, and you just probably need

00:12:23 to get over all those little things that irk you."

00:12:25 He said, "Well, well, yeah, yeah, you're right.

00:12:32 You're right."

00:12:33 Just 'cause the other day when I was, you know, I was riding

00:12:35 around with my son, and this guy just pulled out in front of me,

00:12:38 and I said, "Well, look at this guy right here pulling out in

00:12:40 front of me."

00:12:41 And I was about ready to go off on him, 'cause, you know, I had

00:12:44 my--I had my gun with me, and I told him, I said, "Yeah, I got a

00:12:47 peace be still, too."

00:12:49 I said, "Sometimes it's the small foxes, so don't let that

00:12:59 bother you because there'll be a lot of those irritants that'll

00:13:02 be released to see if it can get your emotions to control your

00:13:05 life and your emotions versus God controlling."

00:13:08 He said, "Yeah, yeah, you're right."

00:13:10 He said, "I surely enjoyed talking to you.

00:13:13 It's a blessing."

00:13:14 I'm like, "Uh-huh, yeah."

00:13:15 Wasn't a blessing five minutes ago, but it's a blessing now.

00:13:21 It doesn't take much.

00:13:22 If you'll just water the seed, if you'll just water and plant,

00:13:26 God'll give the increase.

00:13:27 You don't have to just beat somebody up.

00:13:29 You need to get saved right now.

00:13:31 No, no, no, I might just be God's plan for watering, and

00:13:36 then he'll send somebody else that might be God's plan for

00:13:38 planting, but he will always give the increase.

00:13:43 So, let's make up in our mind that we're gonna be witnesses

00:13:46 for Jesus this year.

00:13:47 We're going to take advantage of being an example, sharing some

00:13:52 light, sharing some words, sharing some love, and allowing

00:13:56 God to have the opportunity to increase.

00:13:58 I'm believing that we're gonna see more people saved this year

00:14:02 than we have ever seen in the last 38 years, and it's because

00:14:08 you are reaching out to make a mark that can't be erased.

00:14:12 He says, "And so God has given us this task of reconciling

00:14:15 people to him, for God was in Christ, reconciling the world to

00:14:21 himself."

00:14:23 Whoa, no longer counting people's sins against them.

00:14:29 That's strong.

00:14:31 That's strong.

00:14:34 That's an argument amongst the clergy.

00:14:39 He said God was reconciling the world, the whole world.

00:14:45 He was doing something so that the whole world could take

00:14:48 advantage of something, and what he was saying is, "I'm going to

00:14:51 give my Son, Jesus Christ, and I'm gonna put every--I'm gonna

00:14:56 put the whole world's sin on him, so when you're ready to

00:15:00 receive him, I want you to know that he's already taking care of

00:15:05 all of your sins.

00:15:06 You just need to sign for the package."

00:15:08 What would happen if some sinner would hear that?

00:15:15 What would happen if some sinner would hear, "God has already

00:15:18 taken care of your sins through Jesus Christ and has decided to

00:15:23 forgive you of all of your sins," and that guy ends up

00:15:27 going to hell, and he said, "What was the bad thing that

00:15:30 actually sent me here?"

00:15:32 He said, "It wasn't your behavior.

00:15:33 It was because you didn't sign for the salvation package."

00:15:38 Now, how tormenting is that?

00:15:39 He ended up in hell because everything was done.

00:15:42 All you had to do was sign the receipt.

00:15:44 And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

00:15:54 Verse 20, "So we are Christ's ambassadors."

00:15:57 We're Christ's ambassadors.

00:15:58 We're representatives of Christ.

00:16:00 We are ambassadors, you know.

00:16:03 We're ambassadors for Christ because our citizenship

00:16:06 is in heaven.

00:16:08 Well, okay, I'll speak for myself.

00:16:09 My citizenship is in heaven.

00:16:13 You're waiting on the government to tell you about aliens.

00:16:15 I am one.

00:16:17 You are aliens, praise God.

00:16:20 My God, y'all don't hear me.

00:16:21 Some of y'all are, "What, what?"

00:16:26 God is making his appeal through us.

00:16:29 We speak for Christ when we plead, "Come back to God,"

00:16:34 for God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering

00:16:39 or the propitiation or the sacrifice for mankind.

00:16:49 To be the offering for our sins so that we could be made right

00:16:54 with God through Christ Jesus.

00:17:12 He was Christ who never sinned, became sin, but he never sinned.

00:17:17 He was a serpent on the cross.

00:17:24 He became sin, but he never sinned.

00:17:29 He became sin so he could be the offering, the propitiation,

00:17:34 the ransom.

00:17:38 He was the ransom.

00:17:40 He paid the ransom price, glory to God, so that we could be made

00:17:46 right with God through Christ Jesus.

00:17:50 So, he who had never sinned was made sin so that we who had

00:17:56 never been righteous could be made righteous without doing

00:17:59 right because he was made a sinner without ever sinning.

00:18:04 You can be made righteous without ever doing right.

00:18:07 He says, "I'm not looking at what you have done when I made

00:18:12 you righteous, I'm looking at what Jesus has done, and if you

00:18:18 believe that you are the righteousness of God, you'll do

00:18:22 right once you believe you're the righteousness of God, but

00:18:25 you keep trying to do right to qualify your status."

00:18:35 John 1:29, I asked the question last week, "Why are we righteous

00:18:40 in God's eyes?

00:18:41 Is it because we do right?"

00:18:43 No, it's because of Jesus.

00:18:46 "Why am I righteous in God's eyes?

00:18:48 Because I do right?"

00:18:49 No, it's because of Jesus.

00:18:52 It's gotta be humbling to a religious person who all of his

00:18:55 life has worked on doing right so he can be right with God, but

00:19:00 I'm not right with God because I do right.

00:19:02 I'm not right with God because I believe in Jesus, and what Jesus

00:19:06 has done has made me the righteousness of God, and the

00:19:08 day you believe you're righteous, your behavior is

00:19:11 gonna line up with that.

00:19:12 But as long as you allow your bad behavior to tell you that's

00:19:15 who you are, you keep going back to what I can do to be made

00:19:20 righteous versus believing in Jesus and what he has already

00:19:26 done to make you righteous.

00:19:29 John 9 says, "The next day, John--" Now, John here is

00:19:32 talking about John the Baptist, not the apostle John, but he

00:19:36 says, "The next day, John the Baptist, he saw Jesus coming

00:19:39 towards him, and he said, 'Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away

00:19:44 the sin of the world.'"

00:19:48 That is so hard for people to get, especially church people,

00:19:51 because we're so sin-conscious.

00:19:55 There are people that get up in the morning, before they even go

00:19:57 to bed, and they say their grace, "Lord, forgive me for the

00:20:00 sin that I hadn't done yet," because that's sin

00:20:04 consciousness.

00:20:06 We're more conscious of sin than we are of the fact that we've

00:20:09 been made righteous.

00:20:12 Well, where'd you get that sin consciousness from?

00:20:14 Church.

00:20:17 You got it from church.

00:20:19 You came to church all your life, and that's all it was

00:20:21 preached on, sin.

00:20:22 God don't like ugly.

00:20:23 You need to do this, or you're gonna go to hell.

00:20:26 You're gonna do that.

00:20:27 Then God ain't gonna do that.

00:20:28 You better be careful, 'cause you're gonna be cursed if you do

00:20:30 that.

00:20:31 Uh-huh, that's the reason why she died early.

00:20:33 Uh-huh, that's the reason why that happened.

00:20:35 That's why you lost your job.

00:20:36 That's why you--like, God's the punisher.

00:20:38 God's not the punisher.

00:20:41 And besides, who wants to develop in a forced

00:20:45 relationship?

00:20:48 I'm not interested in a forced relationship.

00:20:51 I don't wanna marry somebody that somebody forced me to

00:20:55 marry, and say, "If you don't marry, you ain't gonna get the

00:20:57 money, and if you don't marry, then we gonna not let you have

00:21:01 this, and if you don't marry--" No, no, no.

00:21:02 I wanna marry somebody 'cause I'm in--I'm in--I can't--I can't

00:21:08 live without you.

00:21:09 You--yeah, you made me do that.

00:21:10 I was like, "I wanna marry somebody 'cause I'm like,

00:21:14 'What happened?'"

00:21:15 I get silly when I'm around you.

00:21:16 Hey!

00:21:19 I remember when I first--when I--well, the second time I met

00:21:21 her, she had transferred to the college I was in, and there was

00:21:26 this big walkway where everybody would pass by, and it was the

00:21:29 springtime, and "Woo!"

00:21:31 It was the springtime, and you know what I'm talking about.

00:21:34 "Woo!"

00:21:35 It was--it was the spring.

00:21:36 It had a little valley down.

00:21:37 You remember the--woo!

00:21:38 It was the spring.

00:21:39 And Taffi had on this sundress with all kind of colors, and she

00:21:44 had a--she had a tan on her--on her skin, and I just loved

00:21:48 beautiful skin, and woo!

00:21:51 She walked past me, and I walked past her, and we had been

00:21:55 introduced, and I said, "Oh," and I got silly.

00:21:58 I can't believe I said--I wanted to slap myself.

00:22:00 I said, "Oh, look at the little girl with the pretty little

00:22:03 dress on."

00:22:04 She said, "I ain't no little girl.

00:22:06 I'm a grown woman."

00:22:07 I'm like, "God dang."

00:22:08 I was like, "God doggy.

00:22:09 Oh, Lord, whoa."

00:22:10 I didn't mean that.

00:22:11 I just--I got silly.

00:22:12 I want a relationship that--that when I--when I get before his

00:22:20 presence, he--I--oh, glory to God, I lift my hands up, and I

00:22:24 don't mean to.

00:22:25 I joke, and I don't mean to, but something happens in the

00:22:29 presence of the Lord because I want that relationship.

00:22:33 Nobody's making me--nobody's threatening me into the

00:22:37 relationship.

00:22:38 Nobody's putting fear on me in a relationship.

00:22:40 That's the same way I'm not giving.

00:22:44 I give 'cause I want to.

00:22:45 I adore him.

00:22:46 I want to give.

00:22:47 Nobody's gonna tell me, "You're cursed with a curse if you don't

00:22:49 give a certain percentage."

00:22:50 Wait a minute.

00:22:51 Now you're putting fear on me, and so the only reason I'm

00:22:53 giving it 'cause I'm scared?

00:22:54 No, I give because I delight in him, and I love him, and I--oh,

00:23:04 I want to please him, and I want him happy.

00:23:08 I want him to--I want him to find joy in my relationship.

00:23:11 I asked God this morning when I was praying, I said, "Now,

00:23:14 Lord, I think I know, but I still want to ask you this.

00:23:17 What did Enoch and Elijah do to make you just take 'em?"

00:23:23 I said, "Well, did you just take 'em because that was part of

00:23:28 the plan and you had already planned, or did they do

00:23:32 something--did they do something that you found great delight in?"

00:23:37 And he quickly answered me.

00:23:38 He says, "I am not a respectful person."

00:23:42 He says, "I find as much delight in you."

00:23:44 "As I find in them, because in them I couldn't live in,

00:23:55 but I'm living in you."

00:23:58 [congregation applauding]

00:24:01 So, a lot of things God has planned, you know, and he's got

00:24:15 a plan for every one of you, and it's not gonna be because of

00:24:19 your behavior.

00:24:21 It wasn't because of their behavior that he took 'em.

00:24:23 Some of you think that God can't use you anymore because of your

00:24:29 behavior and your mess-ups and stuff like that, and he used

00:24:32 three murderers in the Bible, and you don't think

00:24:34 he can use you.

00:24:35 Somebody said, "Say what?"

00:24:36 Yeah, he--Moses, murderer; the apostle Paul, murderer;

00:24:44 David, peeping Tom, and murderer.

00:24:48 [congregation laughing]

00:24:54 So, get over that and start focusing in on your identity.

00:24:58 I am the righteousness of God.

00:25:01 I have been made righteous.

00:25:03 I have not become righteous.

00:25:05 I didn't do nothing to deserve righteousness.

00:25:08 I believed in Jesus, and he made me righteous.

00:25:11 He made me righteous.

00:25:13 I am righteous because of Jesus, and as long as Jesus is all

00:25:17 right, I am all right.

00:25:18 Let me show you something.

00:25:19 In the--when the law was given, at the same time, if you look in

00:25:23 Exodus, that the law was given, this--the law was given,

00:25:27 the sacrificial system was instituted where the Lord said

00:25:33 that we're going to introduce the sacrificial system where you

00:25:37 bring a sacrifice that's acceptable, and if that

00:25:43 accepts--that that sacrifice is acceptable, then I will bless

00:25:47 you because of the sacrifice.

00:25:50 Now, those sacrifices could never take away sin.

00:25:53 It could only cover sin.

00:25:55 He says, "I'll bless you because of the sacrifice," which y'all

00:26:00 medically knew when he gave the commandments, he said, "I know

00:26:03 they're not gonna be able to keep them, so that's why I got

00:26:05 to figure out a way where I can bless 'em."

00:26:10 Oh, my goodness.

00:26:12 "I'll bless you because of the sacrifice."

00:26:15 So, if the sacrifice presented wasn't all right, you ain't

00:26:19 gonna be all right.

00:26:21 So, you got to bring a sacrifice that's acceptable.

00:26:25 But for all of us, Jesus is our sacrifice, and how many of you

00:26:31 know he's acceptable?

00:26:33 Huh?

00:26:35 So, if the sacrifice is all right, you all right.

00:26:41 Is the sacrifice all right?

00:26:45 So, if you go around thinking, "Oh, I ain't righteous no more,"

00:26:48 I'm gonna go to Jesus, you all right?

00:26:51 He said, "Yeah, I'm still good," and I'm thinking, "Well, what

00:26:54 they doing?

00:26:55 He's still good, we still good.

00:26:57 I'm still good because he's still good.

00:26:59 He's the acceptable sacrifice.

00:27:01 He died once and for all, praise God.

00:27:04 I am the righteousness of God today, tomorrow.

00:27:07 When I'm up, when I'm down, I'm the righteousness of God.

00:27:10 As long as I am focused and still tied into Jesus, I believe

00:27:14 in him, praise God.

00:27:16 He has made me righteous, I receive my righteousness.

00:27:20 Are y'all getting this?

00:27:22 I'm--can you see I'm just drilling this in?

00:27:26 This is going to be your foundation for the year.

00:27:28 Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

00:27:37 So, they treated Jesus like the worst sinner.

00:27:44 Think about what he went through.

00:27:47 They treated him like the worst sinner ever, whipped with a cat

00:27:50 of nine tails, nailed to a cross, spit on.

00:27:56 Then after all of that, he who had never sinned went to the

00:28:01 hell that was our hell to go to, but he took our place and went

00:28:08 to the hell that we were supposed to go through.

00:28:12 My God, mm-mm-mm.

00:28:16 Why did he do that?

00:28:18 He was treated like the worst sinner ever, my goodness, so

00:28:22 that you and I could be treated like the best righteous person

00:28:27 ever.

00:28:28 He who had never sinned and didn't deserve the treatment did

00:28:34 it so that we who had sinned and were made righteous and didn't

00:28:41 deserve the treatment of a righteous man.

00:28:45 That's what he did.

00:28:47 I will become the sinner.

00:28:48 Let them treat me like the worst sinner in the world so you can

00:28:51 become the righteousness of God and be treated like the

00:28:54 righteous of the world.

00:28:59 Wow.

00:29:02 Okay, maintaining your righteous stance, that's what we're

00:29:05 talking about.

00:29:06 Now, let's look at Romans chapter 4, verses 1 through 8.

00:29:10 Let's look at it again in the NLT.

00:29:14 Romans 4, 1 through 8.

00:29:16 I didn't get a chance to really get to this last week, got to

00:29:19 part of it, but let's look at the whole thing here.

00:29:24 Are you seeing this?

00:29:25 It's--people would get born again if they knew this, but

00:29:31 they're not getting this.

00:29:32 What they're getting is all the rules you got to keep in order

00:29:35 to be born again.

00:29:36 You--what are you talking about all the rules you have to keep?

00:29:40 It was a gift.

00:29:41 Listen to me.

00:29:42 If righteousness--if the blessing is a result of your

00:29:50 good works, watch this, then you should get the credit for it.

00:29:56 But if righteousness is a gift, then Jesus should get

00:30:01 the credit for it.

00:30:03 So, now what we're gonna see here is what do you really

00:30:06 think?

00:30:07 You really think you all that?

00:30:09 So, then you should get the credit for it.

00:30:12 But if it's a gift, he should get the credit for it.

00:30:15 Watch this.

00:30:16 They're gonna talk about Abraham here, and this is awesome

00:30:18 because in the book of Genesis, the Bible says that Abraham

00:30:22 believed God in Genesis before Jesus, and heaven said,

00:30:27 "You're righteous."

00:30:29 Before Abraham did any goody-goody thing, Abraham

00:30:32 believed God, and heaven said, "You're righteous."

00:30:36 And then somebody said, "Oh, Abraham was perfect."

00:30:38 Oh, far from it.

00:30:40 Oh, dude, we can show some Scriptures about Abraham the

00:30:44 coward, Abraham the liar, Abraham, oh my goodness,

00:30:50 the fear person.

00:30:51 And God says, "It's too late.

00:30:53 I've already made him righteous."

00:30:57 So, even when he lied about Sarah being his wife, even when

00:31:02 he was coward and wouldn't stand up for her, even when all of

00:31:05 that stuff happened, he said, "I still got to treat him as

00:31:08 righteous because I am showing a picture of what is to come."

00:31:12 And the Old Testament was all about shadows and pictures, and

00:31:20 that's why you gotta learn how to rightly divide between the

00:31:23 Old Covenant and the New Covenant because in the Old

00:31:26 Testament, the Sabbath was a day, and people still arguing

00:31:31 about, "Do you worship God on Saturday or Sunday?"

00:31:34 We worship on Thursday at three.

00:31:37 That's not even the issue.

00:31:38 The issue is that you've got to rightly divide and know that in

00:31:43 the Old Covenant, it was a shadow and a sign of Jesus.

00:31:48 All of the shadows and the signs pointed to Jesus.

00:31:52 Jesus even said, "These Scriptures here speak of me."

00:31:57 But in the New Testament, they talked about the Sabbath, and

00:32:00 they made it plain.

00:32:01 He said that the Sabbath is me.

00:32:04 It was a day, but now the Sabbath is Jesus.

00:32:08 Jesus is your Sabbath.

00:32:10 Glory be to God.

00:32:13 Jesus is your Sabbath, and you still wonder what day.

00:32:15 And we got whole denominations because we couldn't figure out

00:32:17 what day it was because we didn't rightly divide the way.

00:32:20 Look at--do you see that?

00:32:21 You see the stuff that has come because we don't know how to

00:32:23 read the Bible.

00:32:24 We don't know how to rightly divide between what was true

00:32:26 under the Old Covenant and what is true under the New Covenant,

00:32:29 and we just, you know, the righteousness under the Old

00:32:32 Covenant meant you had to earn it.

00:32:36 You were righteous 'cause you did something right.

00:32:39 But people were still dying because the law was perfect.

00:32:43 It was flawless, and men couldn't keep it.

00:32:46 And if you complained, you died 'cause the wages of sin

00:32:49 was death.

00:32:52 But under this New Covenant, Jesus said, "All right, we see

00:32:56 they can't do it.

00:32:57 So, I'm gonna be the champion.

00:32:59 God come down in flesh."

00:33:01 Glory to God.

00:33:02 "And I'm gonna do what men can't do, and not one jot or tittle of

00:33:06 that Word in the law will go to pass until I fulfill every bit

00:33:10 of it."

00:33:11 So, no--nothing in creation will be able to say that Jesus didn't

00:33:15 do it all.

00:33:16 He did it all, and now through him, you get to live life.

00:33:21 You couldn't live it perfectly, but he lived it perfectly.

00:33:24 Wow.

00:33:25 Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

00:33:30 Get used to this.

00:33:35 I'm gonna get bolder and louder and louder about this Gospel of

00:33:38 Grace more than ever before.

00:33:40 Abraham was, humanly speaking, the founder of the Jewish

00:33:50 nation, and here's what he said.

00:33:52 Here's what he discovered about being made right with God.

00:33:55 "If his good deeds had made him acceptable to God, he would have

00:34:03 had something to boast about."

00:34:07 So, if you believe that righteousness is a result of

00:34:10 your good deeds, you have something to boast about.

00:34:13 And if you listen carefully, church folks are boasting.

00:34:16 They are boasting about what they do every day.

00:34:21 They're boasting, and at the same time while they're boasting,

00:34:24 they're condemning you and creating that sense of, you

00:34:30 know, approval addiction.

00:34:33 And now you're working real hard to try to gain their approval,

00:34:37 and they ain't even doing half the stuff they're telling you.

00:34:39 They might have did it one time, and they're making it seem like

00:34:41 they do it every day.

00:34:42 They don't do it every day.

00:34:43 They sleep past 9 o'clock all the time.

00:34:45 They got up one time at 4 o'clock to pray, and that's the

00:34:48 last time, but they got you thinking they get up every

00:34:50 morning at 4 o'clock, and now you get up every morning at 4

00:34:53 o'clock and feeling condemned if you don't because they do that.

00:34:56 Boy, these church people, they something else, boy.

00:35:01 But I'm gonna love you.

00:35:07 I'm gonna love you all the way to heaven.

00:35:08 I know Jesus is coming back.

00:35:09 That's why I'm stirred up 'cause I know he coming.

00:35:13 He coming.

00:35:13 Praise the Lord, he coming.

00:35:17 So, if you did good deeds, you got something to--and you made

00:35:21 righteous because of your good deeds, you have something to

00:35:23 boast about.

00:35:25 The Bible even said it in Ephesians chapter 2 that there

00:35:27 is no boasting.

00:35:28 Why?

00:35:29 Because it's a gift of God.

00:35:30 Salvation is a gift of God.

00:35:31 Therefore, there is no boasting.

00:35:33 So, if you're boasting, somehow you think you're responsible for

00:35:39 the blessing and the righteousness that's in your

00:35:41 life.

00:35:43 He says, "If good deeds had made him acceptable to God, he would

00:35:46 have had something to boast about, but that was not God's

00:35:50 way."

00:35:52 For the Scripture tells us Abraham believed God, it tells

00:35:57 us in Genesis, Abraham believed God and God counted him as

00:36:01 righteous.

00:36:02 Why?

00:36:03 Because of all of his good deeds?

00:36:05 No, because of his faith.

00:36:07 When people work, I love this, their wages are not a gift.

00:36:16 You work for that.

00:36:18 It's not a gift when you work.

00:36:22 The Bible says, "But it was something that you have earned."

00:36:26 So, please understand, it's not a gift, it's something that

00:36:28 you've earned.

00:36:29 If you came to me and said, "I'm gonna do you a favor, but I'm

00:36:33 gonna have to charge you," it's no longer a favor.

00:36:37 You are a hired hand now.

00:36:39 When people work, their wages are not a gift but something

00:36:45 they have earned.

00:36:54 But people are counted as righteous not because of their

00:36:58 work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.

00:37:05 You are counted righteous because of your faith in the

00:37:08 Lord Jesus Christ.

00:37:09 You are not counted righteous because of your good works and

00:37:12 your good deeds.

00:37:14 Now, good works and good deeds will be born out of a person who

00:37:17 have been made righteous because they believe in Jesus Christ,

00:37:21 but the good works are not responsible for you being made

00:37:24 righteous.

00:37:25 You are made righteous because of Jesus Christ, and out of that

00:37:29 righteousness, you produce all type of wonderful things born

00:37:33 out of love.

00:37:34 Any work that you do that's not born out of love is a work

00:37:38 that's not acceptable by God.

00:37:41 So, if you're doing some good work so that people can, you

00:37:45 know, recognize you or praise you in church, but it's not born

00:37:48 out of love, it's not acceptable by God.

00:37:50 So, you're keeping up with all of the little goody-goody works

00:37:52 you do, so when you get to the gate, you can roll your little

00:37:55 toilet paper Rolodex out and say--and they say, "Why should I

00:37:59 let you through the gate?"

00:38:00 You say, "Here you go, Lord.

00:38:01 Look at all this.

00:38:02 Look at that.

00:38:03 Look at that.

00:38:04 Look at all this rolling down there.

00:38:05 Look at that.

00:38:06 Look at that.

00:38:07 All my good works," and then they close the gate.

00:38:09 So, what happened?

00:38:15 You still didn't get it.

00:38:18 You still didn't get it.

00:38:19 You're in heaven bragging.

00:38:21 We don't want to hear but one word.

00:38:25 "Why should I let you in?"

00:38:27 Jesus, come on in.

00:38:33 I believe in Jesus.

00:38:34 I trust in Jesus.

00:38:35 And people don't get that to the point where there are religions

00:38:41 that have been started as enemies of the cross.

00:38:46 "I got a problem with Jesus 'cause I don't like the

00:38:50 painting Michelangelo did of Jesus."

00:38:53 Everybody know that ain't Jesus but you.

00:38:55 Everybody in the world know that ain't Jesus.

00:38:59 I can't even see Jesus walking around with long hair that he

00:39:01 curled up right before he left.

00:39:03 With rosy cheeks and make up.

00:39:06 Daddy, are you serious?

00:39:07 Have you read the description of Jesus and the work that he did

00:39:11 and all the stuff that's going on?

00:39:13 Daddy, I know Jesus look.

00:39:14 But here's the deal.

00:39:15 I don't care.

00:39:16 I'm not moved by how he look.

00:39:21 I'm moved by what he did.

00:39:23 I'm moved that he died for me, that he was whipped with a cat

00:39:26 of nine tails for me, that he was nailed to a cross for me,

00:39:30 that he went to hell for me, that he got up from the grave

00:39:33 for me, that he rose to be seated on the right hand of God

00:39:37 the Father Almighty for me, and that he is coming back again

00:39:41 for me.

00:39:42 I don't care what he look like.

00:39:44 It's because of what he did that's exalted instead of me

00:39:49 trying to look at what I'm gonna do.

00:39:58 See, if I believe I'm the righteousness of God, then out

00:40:01 of that righteousness, behavior is gonna line up with it.

00:40:07 But when your behavior ain't right, you come to church,

00:40:09 preacher make you feel bad, Christian folks make you feel

00:40:12 bad, it is amazing to me how Christian people love turning

00:40:17 on one another, like you celebrate somebody's fall,

00:40:22 which indicates you don't believe.

00:40:26 We forgive.

00:40:28 Quickly, we forgive quickly.

00:40:32 But now you start qualifying who can fall and who can't.

00:40:38 When all of us got an issue.

00:40:42 And for you to act like that is for you to believe you don't

00:40:47 have no issue.

00:40:50 You mean to tell me you got time to slander somebody else's

00:40:55 fall when in the booth in the back in the corner?

00:40:58 You look, Wilson, you remember him?

00:41:00 In the booth in the back, Geraldine, you remember him?

00:41:02 Booth in the back in the corner in the dark, you got your own

00:41:04 little stuff.

00:41:05 And your little stuff might not be somebody else's stuff, but

00:41:09 you got some stuff somewhere.

00:41:10 Wake up and smell the coffee.

00:41:12 You are not a bed of roses.

00:41:15 You got some weeds in your yard somewhere too.

00:41:19 It's amazing.

00:41:24 It is so amazing to me.

00:41:26 I sit and look at preachers who are supposed to be preaching

00:41:31 love and the gospel, and they--it's Mammon, ain't it?

00:41:35 They got their podcast, 'cause they--we finna get paid now.

00:41:39 We finna get paid now.

00:41:41 And you wouldn't believe how Mammon has substituted as gods

00:41:46 in the lives of a lot of Christian.

00:41:48 You still trying to get your bag instead of trying

00:41:51 to get your salvation.

00:41:53 Well, I don't agree with that.

00:42:00 Right is right.

00:42:01 Who you think you are?

00:42:03 Let us follow you home.

00:42:06 Let us shrink and get on your little shoulders and say,

00:42:08 "Right is right."

00:42:10 Right is right.

00:42:12 Let me look at your computer and see where you been.

00:42:16 [congregation exclaiming]

00:42:21 [congregation laughing]

00:42:26 Stop it.

00:42:28 That's why folks don't want nothing to do with y'all,

00:42:32 'cause y'all too holier than thou,

00:42:34 doggone holy ghost sheriff, going around trying to arrest

00:42:37 everybody, you need to turn around and handcuff yourself

00:42:40 and rescue--and--where are the Christians?

00:42:44 Where are the Christian people?

00:42:47 I'll tell you where they are.

00:42:49 They're illiterate of the manuscript of life.

00:42:53 They still don't know how to read the Bible,

00:42:55 so what they doing?

00:42:56 They making up their own right and wrong.

00:42:58 And they keep joining churches that tell them what they

00:43:04 already know or what they think they already know.

00:43:06 What's the Scripture talking about?

00:43:10 You follow down whoever's following in a ditch,

00:43:11 and then you're going--somebody else is going to follow in a

00:43:13 ditch behind you, 'cause you're all going to fall in the ditch,

00:43:16 the blind leading the blind, and everybody in a ditch.

00:43:20 But watch out, Perry, you might go viral.

00:43:27 I've been going viral for 30 years.

00:43:30 I don't care.

00:43:31 I am delivered from approval.

00:43:36 I don't need nobody's approval.

00:43:39 I already got God's approval.

00:43:40 This is the only approval I need.

00:43:44 Well, well, well what?

00:43:50 Just got baptized two hours ago.

00:43:57 And Leo, look at me like this.

00:44:03 And Leo, look at me like this.

00:44:09 People are counted righteous not because of their works,

00:44:15 but because of their faith in God who forgives them.

00:44:17 Now, watch this.

00:44:18 I'm saying all that to set you up for this.

00:44:20 Next verse.

00:44:25 Here it goes.

00:44:28 Are you ready?

00:44:31 I hope I did a good job to prepare you for what we're

00:44:33 about to read.

00:44:36 David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those

00:44:41 who are declared righteous without working for it.

00:44:47 So here's David, 'cause David's looking at this,

00:44:52 and he's like--what he was saying is,

00:44:54 "Ooh, y'all don't know how blessed y'all are."

00:44:57 He said, "That wasn't the same when I did it."

00:45:03 Verse 7, he said, "Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is

00:45:10 forgiven and whose sins are put out of sight."

00:45:21 I thought the whole church would rejoice over that,

00:45:27 but it wasn't but about 10 people back there rejoicing

00:45:34 over that, and everybody else was like,

00:45:36 "Mm, I don't know about all that.

00:45:38 I still feel a little funny."

00:45:40 Well, and you ought to 'cause the Holy Ghost is on the inside

00:45:42 of you.

00:45:43 That feeling a little funny about what you do is the Spirit

00:45:45 of God, the new creation convincing you that ain't you

00:45:48 no more.

00:45:50 Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared

00:45:57 of sin.

00:45:59 Hmm, has he really?

00:46:11 This is the trick of the enemy this year.

00:46:17 The shame of your past, the guilt of your past,

00:46:23 and the condemnation of your past will compete with your

00:46:28 belief in your identity as the righteousness of God and will

00:46:33 try to convince you not so.

00:46:38 Look at what you've done.

00:46:40 You can't say you the righteousness of God after all.

00:46:45 Don't let Creflo Taffanym send y'all to hell.

00:46:48 This is the enemy gonna be whispering in your ear that you

00:46:54 can't believe that.

00:47:02 How do you think?

00:47:04 God says--see, and here's what people will do to try to prove

00:47:10 the grace message wrong.

00:47:14 They will take--they have to take a Scripture out of its

00:47:16 context and then fly it around.

00:47:21 And you gotta be smarter than that.

00:47:23 You have got to be people who read the Bible in context so

00:47:29 that when they take the context out--see,

00:47:31 you see the word "context."

00:47:33 If they take the--if you take the text out of the context,

00:47:36 you're left with what?

00:47:37 The con.

00:47:42 Don't do that.

00:47:44 I was in--I was in jail preaching,

00:47:52 not when I was in jail, but when I was in jail preaching.

00:47:57 I was preaching when I was in jail too,

00:47:59 but when I actually went to jail to preach.

00:48:01 Now, that really got some of them, they're like--

00:48:05 That's how I can preach what I'm preaching.

00:48:11 One of the guys in prison came up to me.

00:48:26 I was talking about how to not let your emotions take

00:48:29 authority over your life.

00:48:32 He came up to me, he said--he cussed.

00:48:35 He like, "Mm, preacher?

00:48:37 If I'd have known all that, I wouldn't be here now."

00:48:43 You know what I did?

00:48:47 I said, "Man, I apologize.

00:48:50 I apologize.

00:48:51 We all got to do better at getting the news to you.

00:48:54 We gotta keep preaching.

00:48:59 We gotta stop preaching for validation."

00:49:01 Seriously?

00:49:02 You think I'm preaching a sermon today so you can rate it?

00:49:08 You can rate it as stinking.

00:49:13 Stinking sermon, and I ain't never come back here no more.

00:49:15 That's between you and the Lord.

00:49:18 And I'm still gonna go home, fix me some popcorn,

00:49:23 look at the Falcons.

00:49:25 I got started back praying for him.

00:49:31 I quit praying for him.

00:49:51 This is the year where we gotta get this right.

00:49:57 You are the righteousness of God.

00:50:02 Say it, "I am."

00:50:03 Say it again.

00:50:04 Is it by your doing?

00:50:08 Well, how are you made righteous?

00:50:12 Did you become righteous or were you made righteous?

00:50:17 'Cause if you became righteous, then you had to do a series

00:50:20 of things to become it.

00:50:23 But he says, "You have been made right."

00:50:25 Wow.

00:50:26 So, Christianity is not about doing right to become righteous.

00:50:32 It is all about believing right in Jesus to become righteous.

00:50:43 Now, look at this in Galatians 2:21.

00:50:48 I got up this morning, I looked at all my suit and coat and

00:50:53 ties, and I'm like, "I ain't doing none of that today."

00:50:59 Ken and I did a leg workout on Friday, and I woke up and almost

00:51:02 fell to my knees 'cause my ankles were sore.

00:51:04 I was like, "Lord."

00:51:09 Now, watch this.

00:51:10 "I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless.

00:51:15 For if keeping the law could make us right with God,

00:51:20 then there was no need for Jesus to die."

00:51:23 If keeping the law, and under the law,

00:51:28 it's all about what you do.

00:51:32 If keeping the law, it's all about your works.

00:51:37 The law is a work-based covenant.

00:51:41 If keeping the law could make us right with God,

00:51:45 then there was no need for Christ to die.

00:51:49 Wow.

00:51:53 You frustrate the grace of God by trying to become righteous

00:52:00 in your own effort.

00:52:03 You frustrate the grace of God by trying to become righteous

00:52:06 in your own effort, by getting a list of things to do.

00:52:10 You hadn't even talked to God about it.

00:52:12 Your relationship with him on the inside of you gives birth

00:52:16 and will change your heart and your desires to want to do what

00:52:21 pleases God, and you're ignoring all of that to become religious

00:52:27 and find something that you can do to try to make happen what

00:52:33 Jesus has already finished.

00:52:35 Now, look at Romans chapter 11, verses 5 and 6 in the NLT.

00:52:41 Romans chapter 11, verses 5 and 6 in the NLT.

00:52:46 Somebody says, "Oh, my God, when is this gonna be over?

00:52:50 I got two more Scriptures."

00:52:51 We're good.

00:52:53 We still gonna get out before the Methodists today.

00:52:55 We're good.

00:53:02 "For I am today for a few of the people of Israel have remained

00:53:07 faithful because of God's grace, his undeserved kindness in

00:53:13 choosing them."

00:53:15 His undeserved kindness in choosing them.

00:53:19 And you know we were chosen before the foundations of the

00:53:23 world, right?

00:53:24 Verse 6, "And since it is through God's kindness, then it

00:53:29 is not by their works."

00:53:33 "Since it is through God's kindness, it is not by their

00:53:36 good works, for in that case God's grace would not be what it

00:53:41 really is, free and undeserved."

00:53:45 His grace is about being free and undeserved.

00:53:52 Oh, my goodness.

00:53:55 The grace of God answers you in your most undeserving moments.

00:54:01 The grace of God answers you in your most undeserving moments.

00:54:11 That felt weird when I first walked in that.

00:54:17 That felt weird.

00:54:19 When I had said something that I knew was hurtful and I didn't

00:54:25 want to love, and the grace of God was there, what are you

00:54:29 doing here?

00:54:31 Condemnation should be here.

00:54:33 Shame should be here.

00:54:34 Guilt should be here.

00:54:36 But in your most undeserving moments, the grace of God is

00:54:42 there.

00:54:51 I used to say to people when we had, you know, healing services,

00:54:57 we used to have healing services all over the world.

00:55:01 I think it was on Saturday mornings when we did meetings.

00:55:05 The whole morning was dedicated to healing, and we would just

00:55:09 sing and praise God until we felt the anointing and the glory

00:55:13 hit the room.

00:55:15 And, I mean, everywhere.

00:55:20 And I knew--sometimes I didn't think I prayed enough.

00:55:25 I was just going through all kinds of tormenting things.

00:55:29 Was I gonna be anointed enough today?

00:55:32 And these people are coming in wheelchairs and all that kind of

00:55:34 stuff, and we never did advertise it because we didn't

00:55:38 want people to think we were using--and I don't know if

00:55:41 anything wrong with it, but it would've been for me.

00:55:43 That's not what--but we didn't advertise it.

00:55:45 We just didn't, you know, and I just kind of keep it to myself

00:55:49 that we didn't.

00:55:51 And I just dealt with so much, "Oh, my God, am I anointed

00:55:57 enough today?"

00:55:58 And Jesus kept saying, "Yeah, you were anointed when I called

00:56:02 you."

00:56:03 "Yeah, but, Lord, why didn't that lady get out of the chair?"

00:56:07 And he would say, "Yeah, but three other people got out of

00:56:09 the chair."

00:56:10 And it was just back and forth because I just didn't understand

00:56:16 when Paul said, "When I'm weak, that's when I'm strong."

00:56:19 And this Scripture is saying here that the grace of God shows

00:56:22 up even when you--in your most undeserving moments.

00:56:25 And so I used to say to people, "If you don't have faith, don't

00:56:31 come down to get prayer, 'cause you gotta have faith."

00:56:34 And I would go there and justify it.

00:56:36 And what I didn't understand is that even when somebody didn't

00:56:41 have faith, the grace of God will be there.

00:56:43 By the time they get there, they'll have enough.

00:56:46 The grace of God will supply whatever they need.

00:56:49 It--I shouldn't be disqualifying them.

00:56:52 Only those of you who have faith come down to be healed.

00:56:55 And then finally I had some folks come down.

00:57:03 I remember this one guy came down, he said, "Pastor, I'm

00:57:11 drunk, and I don't know about none you say.

00:57:18 But if this real--" he said, "Lay it on me."

00:57:24 I decided that day not to touch him.

00:57:33 I said, "Lift your hands up."

00:57:36 And I began to pray, and the power of God hit that man.

00:57:39 He fell out under the power of God.

00:57:41 He stayed out for a minute.

00:57:43 When he came to or whatever happened, he jumped up like,

00:57:46 "What'd you do?

00:57:47 What'd you do?"

00:57:48 I didn't do nothing.

00:57:49 I didn't even touch you.

00:57:51 The power of God touched you.

00:57:53 I said, "What's going on?"

00:57:55 He said, "I don't hurt no more."

00:57:57 I found out several years later that that man is now in the

00:58:01 ministry preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:58:03 So, don't tell me what you've got to have, 'cause whatever you

00:58:07 don't have, the grace of God will meet you in your

00:58:14 deserving moments.

00:58:16 Jesus' righteousness is your right to God's unmerited favor.

00:58:29 His righteousness is my right to his unmerited favor.

00:58:36 I have been given the gift of no imputation of sin.

00:58:42 Now, watch this.

00:58:45 One more Scripture after this.

00:58:46 First Corinthians 15, 34, in the message.

00:58:51 First Corinthians 15, 34, in the message.

00:58:53 You're gonna have to this year make receiving the Word

00:59:00 priority.

00:59:03 It can't be, "Come to church, I'll go if I'm out an hour."

00:59:08 You can't put a time clock on God, see, seriously.

00:59:10 You think me preaching 50 minutes to an hour is long?

00:59:16 I used to preach, what, y'all, two hours, and I used to preach

00:59:23 until I had it all out.

00:59:25 You know, that night, oh, I preached about three hours and

00:59:28 a half on the inner image of the covenant.

00:59:32 I thought that thing would never--I was--I look at the

00:59:36 meetings that I went to preach for other people, and I'm there

00:59:39 for three and a half hours, I'm embarrassed.

00:59:42 I was like, "What was I doing?"

00:59:45 God said, "Well, I was saying some stuff, but all that other

00:59:48 stuff, that was all you."

00:59:50 I said, "Thank you very much, Jesus.

00:59:56 Appreciate that."

00:59:58 Now, watch this.

01:00:00 Think straight.

01:00:01 Think straight.

01:00:06 "I'm awakened to the holiness of life.

01:00:12 No more playing fast and loose with resurrection facts.

01:00:16 Ignorance is a--ignorance of God is a luxury you can't afford in

01:00:24 times like these."

01:00:26 Wow.

01:00:27 Now, watch this.

01:00:34 Are you embarrassed that you've let this kind of thing go on as

01:00:40 long as you have?

01:00:41 Lord have mercy.

01:00:45 Think straight.

01:00:48 Not thinking religious, think straight.

01:00:50 This is not the time to be ignorant of the Word of God and

01:00:58 play a bunch of fables with the Bible.

01:01:03 This is not the time to be playing church games and church

01:01:08 gossip and church--it ain't the time.

01:01:10 Well, I'm still experiencing church hurt.

01:01:16 Well, get over yourself, let God heal you, and go forward.

01:01:21 You don't want to be hurt.

01:01:22 Everybody here done been hurt by somebody.

01:01:27 Keep it moving.

01:01:30 Keep it moving.

01:01:31 Well, I can't.

01:01:32 You don't understand, it's hard.

01:01:34 Just 'cause it's hard is no excuse to remain the same.

01:01:37 Keep it moving.

01:01:42 "Yeah, my husband hurt me.

01:01:43 Yeah, my wife cheated on me.

01:01:45 Yeah, they stole this."

01:01:46 Keep it moving.

01:01:47 Can't do nothing about it now.

01:01:49 Keep it moving.

01:01:52 Yeah, but they supposed to be saved, and y'all telling me I

01:01:54 can't take it because--you do whatever you want to do.

01:01:56 I'm not going to do that because I know that if I do the right

01:01:59 thing and sow the do-good seed, God gonna take care of me.

01:02:04 Sometimes we want to take care of things on our own, and we get

01:02:06 in God's way on how he can do what need to do.

01:02:09 But yeah, don't make no more excuses.

01:02:11 Keep it moving.

01:02:13 Because if you keep it moving, you're gonna bump into a

01:02:16 harvest, and you're gonna bump into God, and you're gonna bump

01:02:19 into his mercy, you're gonna bump into his grace.

01:02:21 Somebody shout, "Keep it moving."

01:02:29 "Well, my daddy left me, and he never did want to be in my life."

01:02:31 Keep it moving.

01:02:33 Yeah, yeah, but, but, but, you don't understand.

01:02:44 Get your butts out the way and keep it moving.

01:02:49 "Well, I think you kind of insensitive."

01:02:51 Okay, keep it moving.

01:02:58 You ain't gonna do nothing by just standing there and yielding

01:03:00 to self-pity.

01:03:03 I know that's gonna be a spirit this year.

01:03:05 I prayed this morning, "Lord, keep me out of self-pity."

01:03:08 I prayed for this whole church this morning.

01:03:10 I thanked God.

01:03:11 I said, "Father, I thank you in the name of Jesus.

01:03:13 The kingdom has come, and because your kingdom has come,

01:03:16 everybody in the world changes.

01:03:17 They have righteousness, peace, joy, and the Holy Ghost."

01:03:19 I bind the spirit of compromise and deception and unrepentance

01:03:23 and I, and add this on, and I bind the spirit of self-pity in

01:03:27 the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

01:03:29 So, I'm telling you right now, come hell or high water.

01:03:32 If it works out your way or don't work out your way,

01:03:34 if you get to promotion or don't get to promotion,

01:03:36 if somebody slandered you or dogged you out,

01:03:39 keep it moving.

01:03:41 Because in my undeserving moments,

01:03:50 grace will meet me when I don't deserve it.

01:03:53 When I can't figure it out, I'm gonna keep it moving.

01:03:55 Then Hebrews 13, verse 9, I want to read it in King James

01:04:00 and in NLT, and then I'm gonna let y'all go,

01:04:10 and we're gonna go see what these birds gonna do.

01:04:13 Maybe if we agree as touching.

01:04:18 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines

01:04:23 or teachings, for it is a good thing that the heart be

01:04:47 established with grace.

01:04:49 Now, they were dealing with rules about eating meat,

01:04:54 so in context, he says, "Not with meats which have not

01:04:58 profited them that have been occupied therein."

01:05:03 So, they thought the rules of meat needed to be exalted above

01:05:06 everything else, and he says, "Your heart needs to be

01:05:08 established in grace."

01:05:10 Now, look what he says in the NLT,

01:05:13 and we'll shut it down for today.

01:05:15 I don't know why y'all run to the door when we just say

01:05:18 dismiss, you just run to the door real quick.

01:05:20 Oh, you want to get--some of y'all got to go and you got to

01:05:22 work, get traffic, stuff like that.

01:05:23 Okay, well, I understand.

01:05:25 I don't--I really don't understand.

01:05:26 That's almost a lie when I said that.

01:05:27 I really--I really don't.

01:05:30 Like, what, what, you know, what?

01:05:32 Just thought I'd just bring that up a little bit,

01:05:33 'cause I know you're gonna do it again,

01:05:34 and no matter what I say, I already, you know,

01:05:36 got experience, but you--anyway, hear what you say.

01:05:38 I don't care what you say.

01:05:39 I'm gonna do what I want to do.

01:05:40 There ain't no prison, you know,

01:05:41 that kind of stuff, you know.

01:05:50 Last Scripture, last one, last one, last one.

01:06:00 I mean, whatever happened to, you know,

01:06:02 they that dwell in the house of God shall flourish

01:06:04 in the courts of our God.

01:06:08 "Shall flourish in," you think, "I'm in jail."

01:06:13 Verse 9, "So do not be attracted by strange new ideas or

01:06:20 doctrines," doctrines and new ideas and teachings that don't

01:06:27 even line up with the Word.

01:06:28 They just sound good.

01:06:31 They don't even sound scripturally.

01:06:38 Your strength comes from God's grace,

01:06:40 not from rules about food, which don't help those who follow

01:06:45 them, and the same is true with everything else.

01:06:50 Your strength comes from God's grace,

01:06:51 not from rules about life, not from rules about food,

01:06:56 not from rules.

01:06:57 It comes from God's grace.

01:06:58 And when we can open ourselves up to the grace of God and the

01:07:05 love of God, you'll have a whole new way of living.

01:07:11 You'll sense God in you working, giving you a desire to do what

01:07:17 pleases God, and all the time you realize,

01:07:22 "I've been trying to get this to happen all my life," and God

01:07:28 opened you up, and he made the difference.

01:07:31 Let's pray.

01:07:34 Father, we--whew, we've done what I believe you wanted to do

01:07:39 and say today, and I pray that it has penetrated their souls,

01:07:48 that as I was preaching, you were speaking something

01:07:54 specifically to everyone.

01:07:56 And I pray that this first Sunday of the year will propel

01:08:05 many into the path of the will of God for their life.

01:08:11 I believe you've called the end at the very beginning,

01:08:17 and you've called everyone here to an assignment,

01:08:20 everyone here, there's a plan and a purpose for their life,

01:08:24 and I pray that that be revealed to them.

01:08:26 But we are awesomely gracious for this gift of grace and your

01:08:35 mercy and the richness of your mercy,

01:08:40 for without it, we wouldn't have a chance.

01:08:43 Thank you, Lord.

01:08:48 Thank you so much.

01:08:53 And in the middle of high waters,

01:08:55 may we stay attached to you throughout this year.

01:08:58 Keep us, Lord.

01:09:01 Don't allow the strange things of this society to snatch us and

01:09:07 to cause our love to wax cold and to cause us to not even care

01:09:12 about you and your kingdom.

01:09:14 Bathe us in your love, your grace,

01:09:19 your mercy, your peace, and may we live this year in ease,

01:09:25 worshiping you for your goodness.

01:09:33 Now, let the healing power of God that heals emotions,

01:09:39 that heals souls, that heals brokenness be released upon this

01:09:47 congregation, and I praise you for it now.

01:09:53 In Jesus' name, before we say amen,

01:09:58 could you just lift your hands up just for just a few seconds,

01:10:00 just for a few seconds, just worship and thank him for

01:10:05 something in you, something that's going on with you.

01:10:08 Just thank him for the victory of it.

01:10:11 In Jesus' name, amen.

01:10:16 You get anything out of that this morning?

01:10:18 [congregation applauding]

01:10:22 Amen.

01:10:24 Let's quickly receive our offering.

01:10:27 Ushers, if you'll go ahead and pass the envelopes out.

01:10:31 Again, I want to tell people, I know we've heard a lot of weird

01:10:33 things about offerings, but it's giving unto God.

01:10:36 Glory due unto his name.

01:10:39 Worshiping him in the beauty of his holiness,

01:10:42 that every time I give a gift, I am also saying I will never

01:10:46 worry about my provision.

01:10:48 All I do is worship God because I know everything's

01:10:53 gonna be all right.

01:10:55 Those of you who are online and going to church with us today,

01:11:02 the information to give is on the screen.

01:11:06 I pray that there will be so many wonderful experiences with

01:11:10 Jesus this year for you, and that your life will be filled

01:11:14 with testimony after testimony after testimony of how God has

01:11:19 made the difference in your life, and that we say,

01:11:23 "Bravo, God.

01:11:25 Bravo, God."

01:11:27 And I believe he'll do it again.

01:11:32 He'll do it again.

01:11:34 If your offerings are ready, join me as I go before God

01:11:43 with my offering.

01:11:44 Father, I thank you for enabling me to give.

01:11:50 I thank you that I give because I want to,

01:11:53 and not out of fear, not out of necessity,

01:11:59 but out of a cheerful heart.

01:12:01 Thank you for receiving this gift,

01:12:05 and I worship you, and I declare that I am not worried

01:12:08 about my provision, for all of that is in the hands of grace.

01:12:14 Father, may your words of multiplication take place with

01:12:20 all who give as we worship you together in our giving.

01:12:25 In Jesus' name, amen.

01:12:29 Let's just go ahead and receive the offering this morning.

01:12:42 Father, in the gift of your giving,

01:12:44 I want to extend an opportunity for salvation to our eChurch

01:12:49 and all of those who are online, that if you're not born again,

01:12:56 in just a moment, I'm gonna pray,

01:12:59 and I'm just gonna thank God that you're gonna make the best

01:13:04 decision of your life today, that you're not going to allow

01:13:09 the fear of what others think of you.

01:13:13 You're going to do all that God has put in your heart to do.

01:13:16 You're going to respond the way you believe God wants you

01:13:20 to respond, that if you're here today and you are not born

01:13:24 again, and you have not made Jesus your Lord

01:13:27 and personal Savior, and you're ready to escape

01:13:32 the trap of religion, this is your day,

01:13:37 all it requires is for you to step out of your seat wherever

01:13:41 you are and come down to the altar.

01:13:42 I believe the altar is the place of change,

01:13:46 and unashamedly step out and say,

01:13:48 "God, I want to be saved."

01:13:52 And if that's you, come to this altar.

01:13:56 Give me an opportunity to pray with you.

01:13:58 Give me an opportunity to lead you to Jesus,

01:14:06 and if you're not saved and you want to make sure that he is the

01:14:11 Lord of your life, come on and get him right now.

01:14:17 Come on and get him right now.

01:14:21 Satan is a loser.

01:14:23 He can't even keep you.

01:14:26 He can't even keep you.

01:14:28 If you need to rededicate your life,

01:14:35 somewhere along the line you got born again and it just stopped.

01:14:40 Something happened and you want to reengage

01:14:42 that relationship with Jesus.

01:14:44 Would you come to this altar today?

01:14:47 Thirdly, if you've never received the baptism in the Holy

01:14:55 Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues,

01:15:03 when you come, he will baptize you with power.

01:15:06 And last but certainly not least,

01:15:14 if God's calling you to World Changes Church International,

01:15:17 you believe this is the church you and your family should grow,

01:15:21 this is, he said to Elijah, "Go to a certain brook,

01:15:24 and there will I sustain you."

01:15:26 Well, maybe this church is the certain brook that God is

01:15:29 calling you to, to sustain you.

01:15:33 I gotta tell you right now, I want to be your pastor.

01:15:37 I want to teach you.

01:15:40 I want to show you.

01:15:42 You've got to make the decision.

01:15:45 I've given to you four things, and you've got to decide what

01:15:51 you're gonna do with it.

01:15:53 It's on you.

01:15:58 It's on you.

01:16:00 If you're not born again, hey, don't go another hour,

01:16:06 don't go another second.

01:16:07 Make him the--get him, get him, get all of him right now.

01:16:10 I know religion has been disappointing.

01:16:14 I know you heard some things that you're just like,

01:16:23 "What in the world?"

01:16:24 I understand that.

01:16:25 I've been there, but all of that can change today.

01:16:30 But you have to make the decision.

01:16:37 A decision is an open door into reality.

01:16:40 It doesn't become a reality until you decide.

01:16:43 So, we trust God that all is well with you,

01:16:52 and all is well with your house.

01:16:55 But if it's not, you can come to this altar and watch him do

01:17:01 some amazing things with your life.

01:17:05 All of us had to do this.

01:17:06 I remember when I came down to the altar.

01:17:08 I remember when I thought I was saved 'cause I just went to

01:17:11 church, and then I found out I wasn't, and I'm like,

01:17:16 "Ain't no use to me wasting no time.

01:17:20 I'm just gonna go down there and get my life together."

01:17:23 I thought that being good was enough,

01:17:27 and I found out that good without God doesn't count.

01:17:30 So, make him the Lord of your life today.

01:17:34 Amen.

01:17:35 Make him your Lord and Savior today.

01:17:40 Praise God.

01:17:44 My brothers and sisters, let's thank God and give the Lord a

01:17:48 hand for those who have decided today.

01:17:50 Thank you, Lord.

01:17:55 Thank you, Lord.

01:17:56 Some decisions were made today.

01:17:58 Satan lost you.

01:18:01 He lost you.

01:18:15 He doesn't have the power to keep you.

01:18:18 Who wants to serve some weak punk like that?

01:18:21 He can't even keep you.

01:18:23 Lord, thank you so much for those who come to this altar.

01:18:33 Do the work, Jesus.

01:18:35 As they get to know you, do the work.

01:18:39 Change their lives like they never thought

01:18:43 it could be changed.

01:18:45 Thank you for your grace and your mercy upon them now,

01:18:49 and I release blessings that will run them over.

01:18:53 In Jesus' name we pray, and everybody that agrees,

01:18:57 say it.

01:18:58 Amen.

01:18:59 Congratulations to all of you who've come down here.

01:19:05 If you would turn this way and follow this gentleman,

01:19:08 they're gonna take you to a prayer room where they're gonna

01:19:11 minister to you and get some things from you and get some

01:19:13 things to you, and we believe that the best is yet to come

01:19:19 in your life.

01:19:20 I mean, I know a lot of churches don't have altar calls anymore,

01:19:23 but I do.

01:19:25 I believe that--I believe in the altar.

01:19:27 I believe that something happens when you come.

01:19:31 Amen.

01:19:32 Well, thank y'all for coming to church.

01:19:34 I'm asking for the final blessing.

01:19:36 You're gonna have a great week this week.

01:19:40 I might ought to let you in on something.

01:19:45 This is the year of great transference.

01:19:49 Listen to me.

01:19:53 There are some things and businesses and stuff that's been

01:19:56 on you for a minute, and for some reason you hadn't got it

01:20:01 whether the finances were there or whatever,

01:20:05 but I'm telling you, once you start in faith with Jesus

01:20:12 Christ, there is going to be unleashed a favor over that

01:20:18 thing that you're gonna be pleasantly overwhelmed with

01:20:25 business and favor, and you'll say, "Lord, what is this?"

01:20:31 And he'll say, "This is that which I spoke of already."

01:20:36 So, lift your hands.

01:20:37 Father, I declare the blessings of God to run these precious

01:20:43 people over, and I pray witty inventions and ideas that will

01:20:50 come into their lives and their understanding.

01:20:54 I thank you, Spirit of grace, for being over them all this

01:20:58 week, and that the angels of God will protect them from all hurt,

01:21:04 harm, or danger, that every time they travel,

01:21:07 that they travel in mercy.

01:21:10 I declare the grace of God over every mountain in their life,

01:21:14 and I shout, "Grace, grace," that every mountain now will

01:21:17 become a molehill.

01:21:20 I declare that their children are protected,

01:21:24 that their relationships grow stronger and stronger.

01:21:28 I thank you that you're the God of promotion and that the

01:21:31 promotion comes from you, not from the heads of the

01:21:35 corporations or the companies, but those promotions come from

01:21:39 you, and I thank you for promotion over their lives.

01:21:43 And now unto him who is able to keep you from falling and to

01:21:48 present you faultless before the Almighty God, be glory,

01:21:52 majesty, dominion, and power both now and forever.

01:21:56 And everybody said amen.

01:21:59 God bless you, world changers.

01:22:00 Have a great day.

01:22:02 - Happy New Year, world changers.

01:22:08 - What a way to bring in 2024.

01:22:11 - Okay.

01:22:11 - What'd you get, Grace?

01:22:12 - So much.

01:22:15 Let me tell y'all something.

01:22:16 From the time church started to the time that church end,

01:22:19 it was even all the way down to the benediction.

01:22:23 It's just been so much, and I feel like it was something

01:22:26 that we needed to set our new year, but the one thing that I

01:22:30 did get was when we had came together and we had said out

01:22:35 loud that we are the righteousness of God and we did

01:22:38 not become this way, we were made this way.

01:22:40 And when Holy Spirit dropped in my spirit, it's just like when

01:22:43 something is made or when somebody creates something, they

01:22:46 sign it before they sell it out, send it out.

01:22:48 And so when you look at me, you'll see made by God, made in

01:22:52 the righteousness of God, before I'm pushed out, before my mama

01:22:56 was even pregnant with me, I was stamped with, I am the

01:23:00 righteousness of God.

01:23:01 I was made and created by God and I did not become this way.

01:23:06 I was made this way.

01:23:08 I was created.

01:23:09 I was crafted.

01:23:10 I was birthed this way.

01:23:11 It's in my DNA.

01:23:13 It's on me.

01:23:13 - Yeah.

01:23:14 - It's in me.

01:23:14 - Yeah.

01:23:15 - I'm already righteous.

01:23:16 - Come on.

01:23:16 - What did you get, Denisa?

01:23:17 - Oh my gosh, that was so good.

01:23:19 My heart is literally running.

01:23:22 What I got was when Pastor said, "The grace of God answers you in

01:23:28 your most undeserving moment."

01:23:30 When I say that was such a check in my spirit and I actually

01:23:34 thought about it.

01:23:34 I was like, "Denisa, when you do come up against these situations

01:23:37 and when you do feel like you're so undeserving and maybe you did

01:23:41 miss the mark because I missed the mark, what is the first thing

01:23:44 that comes to your mind?"

01:23:45 And I got to be honest, it's not that I'm the righteousness of

01:23:48 God and that's something that I have to work on.

01:23:50 Instead of immediately running, "Oh, the devil is busy.

01:23:53 Oh, the devil is working."

01:23:54 The devil has absolutely no power, no authority,

01:23:56 absolutely no right whatsoever to come against me.

01:24:00 And because I am the righteousness of God, I have

01:24:02 everything that I need to combat those thoughts, to cast them

01:24:05 down, to stand boldly before God because he sees me just and he

01:24:09 sees you just as he sees Jesus.

01:24:11 Like, what are we doing here?

01:24:13 So it was such a check in my spirit and such a good way to

01:24:15 start off the year because it's such a good reminder that we are

01:24:18 the righteousness in Christ.

01:24:20 No matter what our situation is, we are righteous at all times.

01:24:23 Man, church was good today.

01:24:25 Listen, it was good today.

01:24:29 So right now we're going to transition.

01:24:31 Pop something in the chat for us.

01:24:32 Let us know what you got from this service.

01:24:34 Let us know how you're starting off your year.

01:24:36 Let us know how you're reminding yourself that you're the

01:24:38 righteousness of Christ.

01:24:39 But right now, we get ready to what we get ready to do?

01:24:42 Get.

01:24:43 Okay, which is an extension of your worship.

01:24:46 Yes.

01:24:46 And what the Holy Spirit is saying right now is that you're

01:24:48 giving represents your heart posture.

01:24:51 Yeah.

01:24:51 And you're giving represents the faith that you have in the God

01:24:54 that we serve that you can depend on him and that he's

01:24:57 going to take care of you.

01:24:58 So right now, I'm going to get a read a scripture and this is

01:25:01 coming from 2 Corinthians 9, 7 through, excuse me, 6 through

01:25:05 7 in the message.

01:25:06 And it says, I want each of you to take plenty of time to think

01:25:10 it over and make up in your own mind what you will give.

01:25:14 That will protect you against sob stories and arm twisting.

01:25:18 God loves it when the giver delightfully is in giving.

01:25:23 Excuse me.

01:25:24 The Lord loves it whenever we diligently give wholeheartedly.

01:25:27 This is not a condemnation.

01:25:28 This ain't a, you know, give 10%, give.

01:25:31 What is on your heart to give?

01:25:32 Put your seed in the ground.

01:25:34 This is good soil, okay, that will absolutely reap a harvest.

01:25:37 And your harvest, this is something else.

01:25:39 Really, okay, really quick.

01:25:40 I think sometimes when we give, we automatically default to that

01:25:44 harvest looking like a financial blessing.

01:25:47 Yeah.

01:25:47 When I tell you that your harvest could be spiritual

01:25:50 maturity, your harvest could be, you know, something in the

01:25:55 physical that manifests, not just necessarily finances,

01:25:58 because the word said that that's in the least of the

01:25:59 kingdoms.

01:26:00 But when you are satisfied in him and your harvest is in him,

01:26:04 baby, that can look like so much more.

01:26:06 Don't limit God and say, oh, I'm going to give you 10 and you

01:26:08 won't give me a thousand.

01:26:09 Baby, I can do what he want to do when he want to do it.

01:26:11 Okay.

01:26:12 I'm sorry.

01:26:13 Go ahead.

01:26:14 Church was good again today.

01:26:17 Y'all already know there is four ways to give.

01:26:19 So make sure you get your seed in the ground.

01:26:23 If you want to send by text, text World Changers and leave a

01:26:26 space and add your amount to 74483.

01:26:29 You could call us at 866-477-7683.

01:26:35 You can send it by mail at 2500 Burnett Road, College Park,

01:26:39 Georgia, 30349.

01:26:42 Or you can give by web, by web, excuse me, worldchangers.org or

01:26:46 creflodollarministries.org.

01:26:49 Get your seed in the ground.

01:26:52 Get it on good ground.

01:26:54 Good ground.

01:26:54 And we know this must be good ground.

01:26:56 Yeah.

01:26:56 Okay.

01:26:57 We already know.

01:26:58 All right.

01:26:58 So we got some upcoming announcements.

01:27:00 Ladies, okay, drop something in the chat box.
