twice.
Okay, verse six this is hugeguys.
Ready?
As you therefore have receivedChrist, how'd you receive Christ
Speaker 3 (00:21):
by faith?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You have to believe he's the Lord.
You have to believe he was a manand died on the cross.
You have to believe he raisedfrom the dead and was seated to
the right hand of God.
You have to believe that he diedbecause your lives were
flipping.
You have to believe, right?
So you're justified by faith.
So as you received Christ Jesusthe Lord.
So what?
So walking him.
You see why I'm so intense aboutnot living central, not living
(00:45):
by the way, it's scenes andfields and the way you think or
the way others think.
Because in him is all thewisdoms of all the treasures of
wisdom and knowledge in him.
Is your life revealed in him isthe wisdom of God and the truth.
He is the truth, not our truth.
Is that adamant?
I mean it's a big deal.
So so walk in him.
(01:06):
Verse seven rooted and built upin him, established in the
faith.
What's the faith?
The faith is who you've becomenow that he died and Rose again,
who you are in light of him.
That's the faith you contendfor, that you fight for that
(01:29):
it's a good fight because Goddoesn't change his mind.
It's already settled.
You're loved.
You're lovable.
You always will be.
You have destiny, you havepotential, you always will, and
your deepest failure, the dooris still open to succeed.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
[inaudible]
Speaker 2 (01:47):
in your most lost state, the door's still open to
come home and your deepest hourof ignorance and a lack of
understanding, there's stillknowledge and understanding
waiting for you.
The door doesn't go closed whereGod's concerned.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah,
Speaker 2 (02:10):
so both faith, fighting for the faith, one
faith contending for the fake.
All those phrases you read allthrough the new Testament,
especially in Paul's writing.
Peter writes about the faith tothe faiths all through the
Bible, and it all has to do withmaintaining, securing, and
resting in and walking in whoyou are.
(02:31):
Now that he's come, it hasnothing to do with punching the
devil in the mouth.
You can't find that in theBible.
It has nothing to do withgetting in some fight.
Spiritual warfare is so overpreached and crossing
boundaries.
There's a place for spiritualwarfare.
(02:53):
We have turned it into thefaith, spiritual fighting.
The good fight of faith we thinkis spiritual warfare fighting
good fight of faith is in theface of every temptation of
sensuality, feelings.
What it seems in seems not tostand firm and say nothing's
changed.
Christ as Lord and he's in meand unloved by God.
I'm already right.
I'm already accepted.
I'm already acceptable.
(03:14):
Even where you look at theweapons of a war that we're
wrestling not with flesh andblood, but spiritual, and we're
putting on the armor.
The way we fight is not gettingin a ring and wrestling the
devil.
You fight by putting on yourarmor and holding up the shield
of faith and wielding the swordof the spirit.
So it's the truth that makes youfree.
(03:35):
You're not fighting the devil.
You're standing in truth in themidst of chaos and pandemonium
at every other suggestion.
Jen, you're following me.
That's something that's notunderstood a lot were we're,
we're chasing after the devil heloves.
When you pay attention to him, Ipromise you he loves when you
walk your floor binding,rebuking, telling him where he's
(04:00):
gonna be one day and gettinginto his mouth battle with the
devil he loves when you do thatbecause he's a cutoff weathering
branch.
Comment enough that, and heloves when you pay him attention
cause he's so insecure, sofreaked out in fear and so lost
and he loves when you make himsomebody don't feed his
(04:22):
addiction, let him starve ininsecurity.
I'm serious.
And she feed his addiction.
He wants you to fear him.
He wants you to believe himinstead of the God that created
you.
He loves where he can reproducehimself after his own kind and
(04:43):
take what was made in the imageof God and make it look just
like he looks in fields he loveswhen a Christian and has every
hope and covenant and promisedbefore them is hopeless just
like he is.
He loves when people made to belike God are like him.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
He loves it.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
He loves when you're afraid, freaked out.
Fear cause he is so afraid totrumpets blow and he's freaked
out that today might be the daythat in a moment he might face
eternal damnation.
Judgment.
When Jesus swapped the earth,devils were freaked out.
Why have you come to tremendousbefore our time?
Come on, this scene's way toosoon.
We know what's coming and wefear you man.
(05:34):
We ought to learn from that guys.
There you are free out by Jesus.
So why wouldn't they be freakedout by Christ in you?
So in hopes that you never seewho you are because of him, they
try to get you to keep seeingwho you are apart from him so
you never get a revelation.
(05:55):
So they don't have to be freakedout by cause if you ever see
what they know, it's over.
Trump won, so that's keepingthem self conscious, self
centered, hurt, offended,rational thinking, human wisdom.
Let's separate them.
Let's just get them to not beable to agree.
(06:16):
Let's just make a lot ofdoctrines, theologies, camps
based in their experiencesthat's get'em off of one word,
one truth.
The Lord is one, our God is onein nets.
Multiply them in divided intomany streams, rivers and camps
and let's just get them to fightinstead of be won.
Let's just get them to be proudand arrogant and self-righteous
and let's get it all about them.
Their heritage and what theybelieve in their upbringing
(06:38):
that's keep them offended,touchable and reachable so they
never take on Christ the sametime they can go to church.
We don't mind that.
It's just make sure they'rereligious in their going.
That's the devil.
[inaudible] I will says, don'tyou be unaware of his devices?
(07:02):
Don't you give him any place?
You're the steward of yourheart.
Don't you give him any place?
The more you become like Christ.
It's a good thing it man.
Can you imagine the horror inthe demonic world when Christ
(07:26):
raised from the dead and themystery of God was revealed to
the enemy, that he played rightinto the hand of God like a fool
, like a pawn, and he actuallykilled the son of God and now
all men could go free.
He shed innocent blood, enslavedthe land.
He was blinded to all that inGod's infinite wisdom, he just
(07:48):
pulled back and let him do whathe does.
Steal, kill, destroy, steal,kill, destroy,[inaudible] and
now he kills the son of God.
And because of that, we can alllive.
Imagine the Horrow for a minutethat hits him.
I can't defeat God.
How do I defeat God?
If I knew what I was doing, Iwouldn't have done it.
Oh my God, I killed this son ofGod.
I got a vision a long time ago,a little picture of the devil
(08:11):
doing that in Cal freaking outand chaos and yelling at each
other and blaming each other.
And, and then I saw this littlelight bulb go off in the devil's
head.
He said, wait a minute, guys,calm down.
Pull together.
It's not that bad.
Look, we can't beat God and weknow it, but we can beat them
and we know it.
(08:32):
They're gonna keep lovingthemselves.
They'll not love God more thantheir own lives.
They won't surrender.
They won't give up.
Are you kidding?
Every one of them at hardest,just like us.
They're all about themselves andwe'll make sure that it stays
that way.
We'll make sure that we work andfinagle and poke and prod in as
many areas as we can to makesure they never get a revelation
(08:54):
of what was accomplished here.
We'll turn it into legalism andworks will get them to hurt each
other.
We'll get them hurt so bad atyoung ages in church that they
won't even want to think aboutchurch.
We'll get them so mad at God.
We'll get them to think Godkilled their kids and God killed
their parents.
God killed their loved ones willscramble this thing up, will
deceive.
We'll do what we do best.
Guys, we'll blind will deceivewhat lie now.
(09:16):
Believe us cause they reallylive for themselves.
Get in here guys.
Stitch.
Go break.
It's a little vision I got longtime ago.
It's the only power you askedblind her eyes from seeing.
I promise you.
He doesn't believe that one ofus loves God more than our own
(09:37):
life.
He believes you just need Godfor your lives.
Oh, I need God to become.
I'm not incorporating him intowho I am.
I want him to make me who I am.
(09:59):
Follow me who are feels realpassionate and intense right
now.
I feel rough, sober, sorry forfrom freaking out by talking
Saul.
Man, this thing's real.
I've seen enough devils inpeople and around people.
(10:22):
They're real.
They're not to be feared andhonored in the way that we tend
to and they're seeking whom theymade about.
They're looking forvulnerability, fear, access
points, weakness, wrong motives,vulnerabilities give no place.
(10:50):
I believe by the spirit of God,guys, it's as if we've never
done it as long as our heartsare sincere.
All he asks is repentance thatwe wish different.
We wish we'd had done differentregret would eat us alive.
You could never pay the debt.
You could never go back and makeit right once it's done.
But you can change on the insideand you can say, well, how have
(11:13):
we shut it down different?
And God says, bingo, done.
You've just changed.
So father, thank you for thegospel.
Thank you that it's getting inus, transforming us, and
becoming who we are and fromthis place, we will live our
life and bear fruit unto you.
In Jesus name.
(11:35):
Amen.
Amen.
Love you guys.
See you tomorrow.
