(04:51):
four and five, and it reads, even before he made the world,
God loved you, and God choseyou in Christ to be holy and without
(05:13):
fault in his eyes. God decidedin advanced to adopt you and to his
own family by bringing you to himselfthrough Jesus Christ. This is what he
wanted to do, and it gavehim great pleasure. Hallelujah, Thank you
(05:40):
Jesus. It gave God great pleasureto invite you into his family. It
gave God great pleasure to say youare my beloved. I choose you.
(06:00):
I choose you. That brings almosttears to my eyes. Family, because
sometimes we can feel unworthy, wecan feel unwanted. But God says that
he chooses you, He chose you. You cannot disqualify yourself. You can't
(06:24):
talk yourself out of this one.You can't try to have an esteem lower
than this, because God says,before he formed the world, he loved
you, he chose you in Christto be his holy possession, to be
(06:45):
without fault in his eyes. Andthat's not to say, well, I'm
not perfect, so he didn't chooseme. No, he knew, he
knew that you will not be perfect, but He's still chose you. He
knew that you were still going tohave faults, but he still decided in
(07:06):
advance to adopt you into his family. He knew that your family was going
to have troubles and trials, buthe decided in advance to bring you into
a family, into himself through JesusChrist, and it gave him great pleasure.
Guess what. He didn't do itbegrudgingly. He didn't do it like
(07:28):
he was forced to do it.It gave him pleasure to bring you into
the family of God. Hallelujah,Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus,
Thank you Jesus. So we justworship you Lord. We worship you Lord,
(07:55):
Thank you Lord. We are nowe are not orphans, are no
longer orphans, because when we acceptJesus Christ, we are in the family.
We are made one. We aremade one. We have a family.
We have an identity. You havean identity. I want you to
(08:20):
begin to affirm over your mind todaythat I have an identity in Christ Jesus.
I have an identity in Christ Jesus. My family is in Christ Jesus.
I was chosen and loved before theworld began. Come on, say
(08:43):
that I was chosen and I wasloved before the world began. God adopted
me through Christ, into his family. And what does that mean? That
means that when you accept Jesus,you are in the family of God through
(09:09):
Christ. That is your ticket,that is your door, That is your
way, the way, the truth, and the life. God is your
way. So everything around you,you're asking, how can I get out
of this? Lord? How canI be encouraged? Lord? How can
this make sense? Jesus is yourway to a family, to hope,
(09:35):
to perseverance, to healing. Godis your way. God is your way.
Jesus is your way. You wantto ask, how do I come
out? And how do I becomesomeone who has a family, who feels
(09:56):
healed, who feels loved, whono longer feels broken? And well,
the way is through Christ. Jesus. You want to ask, well,
how can I no longer suffer?Am I truly loved? Does anyone in
this world loved me? Love me? Well? In Ephesians one versus four,
it says that before he made theworld, he loved you. That
(10:18):
means that before you're even on thisplanet, before anyone came on this world.
He said that I chose you.He said that I formed you.
He said that I made you,and I loved you. You were loved
before the mountains. You were lovedbefore the seas. You were loved before
(10:41):
the world was created. That's howmuch you were to God. And he
saw you. He saw your faults, he saw your failures, and guess
what, he still made you.There's no coincidence, there's no accidents.
Why do you think people are tryingto kill babies. It's a spirit of
(11:01):
death in this world because they knowthat it's not just happened. Since they
know that the birth of children comesfrom God, they know that there's identity,
there's purpose, there's a spirit ofact. The spirit the enemy that
is against us, against us,comes to kill, stealing, destroy us,
(11:24):
even before the babies can be born. But God has said I have
loved you before the world began.God has spoken in existence into you,
and he wants you to realize thatyou were loved. He said that,
and he had he adopted you inadvance. And you're saying, God,
(11:46):
why do I have this family?God? Why would you put me in
this world? God? Why wouldyou allow me to go through this?
But the word of God says thathe decided that he made a choice to
adopt you and to his family andadvance. That means that if you accept
the way of Jesus, that ifyou say Jesus coming to my heart,
(12:09):
then God will begin to say,coming to my family, daughter, coming
to my family. Son. Youare one that was once alone. But
guess what, you're no longer alone. Guess what, you have a family.
Guess what, you're no longer anorphan. Comeing to my family.
That's the promise of God. That'sthe promise of God. That's the promise
(12:35):
you can bank on that. Youcan take that one to the bank.
I don't know about these words ofother people. You can't take the words
of people to the bank. Butyou can take the words of God to
the bank. You can take thewords of his promises to the bank.
God says that he created you.God says that he loved you. God
says that he has formed you.God says that he has made you to
(12:56):
be in Christ Jesus, to bewhole, to be without fault. That
he is bringing you to himself throughJesus Christ, and it gives him great
pleasure. God says that He looksat you, and that you give him
great pleasure. And you can takethat to the bank. You can say
to your fears. You can sayto your worries, God, I have
great pleasure in God. He looksat me and smiles. When I am
(13:20):
in Christ Jesus. When I acceptthe salvation of God, God looks at
me and smiles. Take that tothe bank. Say to your fears,
take say to your oppression, Sayto your worries, I have a God
who loves me. The God yousee. You see the mountains out there,
You see that grand Kenyon. Yousee these things that you are going
in, and you're praising the creation, the stars and the oceans and the
(13:43):
moon. That God who made that. Oh, he looks at me.
Because I accepted Christ, I'm inthe family of Christ Jesus. You begin
to take that to the bank.You begin to tell your fear, Tell
your oppression, Tell your worry.God loves me. Tell them you begin
to speak to him. When theytry to wake you up in the middle
(14:05):
of the night, you say,God loves me. When your fears try
to knock at your door, whenthe worry tries to knock at your heart,
when the worry tries to corrupt yourthinking. When the lust, when
the temptation, when the fear tryto come at you, you said,
uh uh. God loves me.Ephesian one, chapter four and five says
that I give him great pleasure.He adopted me before the world began.
