17:18 Well, good morning everybody. >> Why don't you turn to your neighbor and welcome them here and you can be seated. Praise God. >> Father, we thank you for this another opportunity to minister to these your precious sheep. Thank you Lord that revelation knowledge will flow freely uninterrupted and unhindered by any satanic or demonic force. Father I pray that you will speak

18:04 through my vocal cords think through my mind. None of me and all of you. Anoint the ears of those who hear. And father, I thank you that this day will be filled with your blessings. And in fact, Lord, I declare a tsunami of favor over these people today. We thank you for it. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Everybody said it. Amen. >> Amen. If you have your Bibles, go with me to second uh uh uh Colossians chapter 2:10. Colossians chapter 2:10.

18:49 I left off here. We're going to pick up where we left off yesterday and then continue in to showing you how you understanding your true identity will defeat shame every single time. being in sync with your true identity. It really means living in agreement with who you truly are in Christ. That's what it really means. Being in sync. It's one thing to know about your true identity. It's another thing to be in sync with your true identity and to begin to live your life from I I like to also call it

19:34 live your life from your Jesus identity. >> So, we're not talking about who you who who the world says you are. We're talk we're not talking about who your past says you are. >> We're talking about who God says you are. and who God says you are because of Jesus. Amen. >> And so it's when your thoughts, when your emotions, your actions, when all of that begins to flow from your identity, everyday life becomes a uh rhythm of remembering who you are and responding based on who you are.

20:21 you remember who you are. Everything you you go through in life, this is not something that happens just on on on Sunday morning at church. We're living from our true identity. Remembering who we are. We have that Jesus identity. That is our true identity. And then we respond based on that identity. And so if you're responding but it's not based on that Jesus identity, it's not based on your true identity, you need to remind yourself that's not me. >> If you're if if you if you're walking around in unforgiveness, you need to remind yourself that's not me. >> Oh no, no, no, that's not me. And you have to deal with unforgiveness because if unforgiveness that's not dealt with

21:07 will begin to ferment on the inside of you and it shows up bitterness. And if you have bitterness in your heart, you can do all kinds of evil things to people. >> You can murder somebody if you have uh enough bitterness. And the way you stay away from it is you set your will to forgive anybody for anything no matter what. You don't wait for them to come to you and ask you. I set my will to forgive because I'm not going to allow unforgiveness to ferment on the inside of me and it turns into bitterness. And then you remind yourself, that's not me. That's not me. I don't own bitterness. I walk in love. Fear knocks on the door. You're like, I that's not me. I walk in love and power and a sound mind. You

21:55 feel like you're getting ready to cuss somebody out. You're like, hey, that's not me. I don't do that no more. Are you following what I'm saying here? So it's when your thoughts and when your emotions and when your actions start flowing out of the truth that you're already made righteous. I am already like him. Instead when you when you do that then you know you won't be striving so hard to be what you already are. And you got to receive that ladies and gentlemen. You got to get in sync with it. If Jesus says, "This is who you are and and and and and I have finished who you are," then you need to say, "Uh, yes, sir. I'm going to get in sync with who I am. I'm not going to walk like I used to walk before I got

22:42 saved. I'm not going to act like I used to act." You got to understand the the objective of grace is is holiness. >> That's the objective. And and and remember something. Remember, grace is not a a a a it shouldn't be just a subject matter. It shouldn't be a curriculum. The Bible says John chapter 1, Jesus full of grace and truth. So grace is a person and his name is Jesus. >> So if you're talking grace, but we never hear you talking Jesus, no, you can't separate that. Jesus full of grace and truth. It's Jesus that we're talking about. It's Jesus that we're bragging on. It's Jesus who we are like. Jesus is our identity.

23:30 >> Oh my goodness. Listen to this in the in the mirror translation. Colossians chapter 2:10. He says, "We are complete in him." Say that out loud. Say, "I'm complete in Jesus." >> I'm complete in Jesus. >> Now, now listen to this. Jesus mirrors our wholeness and endorses our true identity. He mirrors our wholeness. Spirit, soul, and body. He mirrors our wholeness and he endorses our true identity. Ain't it good to know that Jesus endorses your true identity. You don't wait for somebody to endorse your true identity. Jesus has already endorsed your true identity. And he says here, uh, he is I am in us.

24:16 >> Lord have mercy. Help me. He is I am in us. >> Turn to your neighbor say hello. I am >> somebody say I am what? I am healed. >> I am free. I am delivered. I I am >> See, this is the part it's been it's been kind of difficult for some people to to to to embrace this. You you've embraced the Clark Kent side of yourself. I'm trying to get you to embra embrace the Superman part of yourself. There is more to you than you understand. There's some things you got. There's some things you can do. There's some situations you can totally defeat

25:01 without sweating to do it. See, you don't have to sweat like a sinner to do what you're already equipped to do. >> All right, let me let me calm down. I told myself we we not doing this today. All right. Oh my gosh. >> You You know, there's got to be more than this than what we've just been doing. you know, you know, be born, you know, learn how to crawl, learn how to walk, go to preschool, go to elementary school, learn elementary school, go to go to go to your junior high, go to go to high school, you know, maybe go to a trading school, then maybe college, then get married, then have some some children, and and then, you know, then

25:47 raise them and and and now you're getting older, now you you're preparing for your old age and you die. Are you serious? You think that's it? You think that's it? You think the almighty God that's just it? Honey, there's some things that God has prepared for you. If you can, the devil runs from you. He trembles when you walk around. When you walk into a room, your presence should demand an explanation. The atmosphere changes, the air changes. That's because demons are hurry up and get out the way because the Jesus identity has stepped in that place.

26:34 Glory to God. You got to realize there is more to you than meets the eye. >> Right now, you're carrying somebody's supply. >> You're carrying somebody's supply. And you want to reduce yourself and you don't want to let the devil reduce you you to thinking that you just well you know I'm just I'm just human. Praise the Lord. No, you have the creator of human living in you. >> And there is no kryptonite that can stop what Jesus has already engineered. All right. Okay.

27:20 So he says, "You are clothed in the knowledge of the authentic yet brand new you." The authentic and brand new you. You got born again. You're authentic and brand new you. You're clothed with the authentic and brand new you. Your thoughts are permeated in our co-resurrection and co-enth royal life. >> My God. Instead of the old worn out garments of pretense, there's a freshness about you which continues to sparkle with newness just like the beautiful blossoms on a tree regardless of the age of the tree.

28:08 So, we continue to mirror the unfading, imperishable pattern of the exact image of our creator. Man, that's that strong. That's strong. >> Amen. >> So, you're not lacking anything, ladies and gentlemen. Say that. Say, "I'm not lacking anything." >> I'm not lacking anything. >> I'm not lacking anything. Your true self is already filled with his fullness. You I mean, you say it all the time, greater is he that is in me. Well, embrace that. >> Embrace that. Don't just go around and well greater is he that's in me or or like I saw one person uh well well what you going to do about it? Well, you know, greater is he that's in me

28:56 than he that is in the world. And then in your head you're like, but it sure don't seem like it. How come it's taking so long? No, you have to embrace that, folks. Embrace who you are, right? All right, let's look at Colossians 3:10 in the mirror. Colossians 3:10 in the mirror. All right. So, check this out. Uh, you are clothed in the knowledge of the authentic. I just read that. You got that? You're clothed in that, man. So, practically, our identity is is the image of Christ. And when we see him, we see ourselves. When we see Jesus, we see ourselves. And you you you got to figure out how to embrace that. When I see Jesus, I see

29:44 myself. And it's like looking in a mirror. When I see Jesus, when I see Jesus, I see myself. When you look in a in a physical mirror, you see an image of yourself. When you see when you see Jesus, you see an image of yourself. Oh my goodness. >> To the point you ought to get to the point where you when you see Jesus, you should say, "That's me." >> Yeah. Look at 1 Corinthians, uh, excuse me, 1 John 4:17. 1 John 4:17. Let's look at it in the King James first and then the mirror. 1 John 4:17. King James and then the mirror. Woo! Jesus. I figure if I can just stay up here a little longer, I'll I'll be down there in a minute. But I I just

30:32 I think I can kind of keep it together a little bit. Cuz if you only knew where we were getting ready to go, you uh you would be tearing this place up right now. But I can't get excited, start screaming and shouting cuz you won't know what I'm screaming and shouting about. What's wrong with him? Boy look like he got epilepsy. What's going on? He need a healing. Watch this. 1 John 4:17 in the King James. Here in is our love made perfect. Now check that statement out. Here is here's where our love's made perfect that we may have boldness or confidence in the day of judgment because as he is present tense

31:20 present tense as he is so are we in this world. >> Wow. As he is so are we. So that's not future tense. That's present identity in Christ. Our identity is righteous. Our identity is innocence. Our our identity is is loved. We're loved. We are we are we are his beloved. Our identity is empowered. Our identity is complete. Our identity is in union with God. >> That that's my identity. I I don't carry a selfconscious. I or a sin conscience, excuse me. I

32:05 don't carry a sin conscience. I carry an innocence conscience. >> I receive what Jesus has done for me. And therefore, I'm not going to walk around with a sin conscience. If Satan can keep you in a sin conscience, he can keep you right where you are. It affects who you are in your identity. And you can't let that happen. I don't have that. You don't have that. In Christ, our identity is righteous. I am the righteousness of God because of what Jesus has done. I am innocent because of Jesus. I am loved because of what you I am empowered. I am complete in him. I am seated with him. These are the things you might have to rehearse on a day-to-day basis. You might have to get up in the morning and say, "I'm the righteousness of God. I am forgiven. I am complete. I am seated with him." And the devil's like, "Mhm, you watch to

32:51 see. I am the righteousness of God. I am already forgiven. I am complete in Jesus. This is who I am. I'm letting you know this morning before the day starts, before you throw all your stuff at me, I am the righteousness of God. I am this Christ identity. I embrace who I am. >> Getting in sync. I embrace it. It's not enough to know about it. I embrace who I am. Now, let's go to second uh let's let's see let's read that in the mirror. 1 John 4:17. So now in our awakening to our joint inclusion in this love union, my God, I'm telling you, you ought to have a love union with God.

33:36 >> You ought not be in this thing just for the transaction. The transaction is going to happen if you're in it for the relationship. Because God's character is going to release blessings on you. God's character is going to do good. You ain't got to You ain't got to work hard and sweat to see if you can get God to do good. God's going to do good because God is good. >> All right? And so I'm in it for the relationship and and through that relationship, certain things happen because of God's character. It just happens that way because of God's character. I mean, don't get mad at me because, you know, God wants to bless me. God wants to heal me. God wants to deliver me. But I'm I'm I'm in it. I'm in it for the relationship. And because I'm in it for the relationship, all of these things come as a result of the relationship. You know, I'm a good father to my kids. So ultimately there

34:22 are some things are going to come their way because it but but but they're not they don't love me because of what I can give them. Now they like staying in my pocket but I'm thank I thank God all my kids are grown and making their own money. I thank God. Praise the Lord. Two of my girls won Grammy awards last year and I I thought I thought I was sitting there in the thing and I'm like they called their name out and and and the middle daughter looked at me. She said, "Dad, did they just call mine?" I said I said, "Yeah, girl, get on up there and get that thing cuz I'm taking it home. It's going to stay at my house." And they let me have it for about a month. And then they took it back. I'm like, "What's wrong with how y'all going to take it back?" I paid

35:08 for that. So now in our awakening to our joint inclusion in this love union, say out loud, I have a love union with Jesus. >> I have a love unionus. >> Everything is perfect in this union. Everything's perfect in this union. It its completeness is not compromised in contradiction. Wow. Our confidence and our confident conversation echoes this fellowship. Even in the face of crisis because as he is so are we in this world. Even in the face of crisis. As he is so are we in

35:55 this world. Our lives are mirrored in him. Get this guys. Get this. Everything works when you become solid about your Jesus identity. when you become solid about your true identity. Praise the Lord. Now, let's go to uh 2 Corinthians 5:17. Someone said, "What you doing?" I I I I want to teach you something before I go off. I'm not going to go off. Second, somebody said go off. 2 Corinthians 5:17, man. um in in in the mirror. One of the things that I I want

36:41 us to realize uh especially here in 2 Corinthians 5:17 is what we've been what we've been put here to do. And uh verse verse 17 uh says this. He says, "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, all right, we're a new creature." in the mirror. He says, "Now in the light of your co-inclusion in his death and resurrection, whoever you thought you were before in Christ, you are a brand new person." >> Man, the old ways of seeing yourself and everyone else are over. >> Did you hear what he just said? The old

37:27 way of how you used to see yourself is over. But he also included, "And now that you see yourself in this new way, you should also see other people in a new way." >> So you're not just judgmental. You're not taking them apart and dogging them out because that's not you anymore. >> You're not critical of them all the time because that's not you anymore. The old way of seeing yourself and everyone else is over. Praise the Lord. You might have been very judgmental in this area or that area, but the old way of seeing yourself and everyone else is over. And he says, "Now acquaint yourself with the new. Get acquainted with the new you. Get acquainted with how now you're more empathetic where other people are concerned. You You're not in agreement

38:13 with how they do stuff, but you're like, "Well, at least I'm asking God to show me what did it take for you to end up where you are right now." get acquainted with with the new you. >> And then Galatians chapter 2 verse 20. Galatians chapter 2 and verse 20. So so far we just we just reading. I don't know about that. Well, so far we just reading. All right. Galatians chapter 2 and verse 20. He says, "I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live yet not I but Christ. Christ lives in me. Christ lives in me. Come on, you believe that? >> Say it. Say, "Christ lives in me." >> Christ lives in me. >> And the life I now live in the flesh, I

39:01 live this life now by the faith of the son of God. So I'm living this life by his faith, by the faith of the son of God. So if the if the faith of the son of God thinks I'm all right, then I say I'm all right. I now learn how to believe how he believes about me. Praise God. Who loved me and gave himself for me. And then in the mirror, let's look at that. And then one more and we'll we'll get I want to show you something about shame. So here I am dead and alive at the same time. I'm dead to the old me I was trying to be and I'm alive to the real me which is Christ in me.

39:46 I am co- crucified now co- alive. What a glorious entanglement. >> I was in him in his death and now I discovered that he is infused in me in my life for the first time. I'm free to be me in my skin, immersed in his faith in our joint sunship. He loves me. He believes in me. He is God's gift to me. Praise the Lord. >> Wow. >> So basically to be in sync with your Jesus identity means that you're going to stop striving to become and start believing that you already are.

40:34 >> You live from this place. You you your you respond in your response in your life is from this place. Luke chapter 9 uh verse 24. Luke chapter 9 verse 24 in the in the mirror. Trying to keep This is so Please get this. Trying to keep the self of your own making intact is a lost cause to begin with. So, you're a self-made man and you are trying to keep the making of your own self intact. You know, I'm like, Lord, make me over again in an area that I had something to do with. Lord,

41:19 >> show me what I need to be doing here. >> All right. Losing yourself in me is realizing that I am the source of who you are by design. I'm the source of who I am by design. This is your saving grace. He says, so to sum all of this up yesterday and and today, you've got to be willing to embrace and accept and rest in this true identity. This is who I am. This is not a fable that I've been reading. This is who I am. >> So now I've got to wake up

42:06 to who I really am. And I got to do that first of all by realizing that when I am thinking or speaking or acting a certain way or walking in fear, that's not who I am. Just by doing that on a day-to-day basis, you wake up one morning and it's it's no longer a question. It's no longer a struggle. It's like this is who I am. >> Now, guess what happens when you when you settle that then everything else can flow from you. You you you begin to discover your purpose. >> Your authority now becomes more about your position than about your performance.

42:52 >> All right? Because now you act on God's behalf and he backs you up because you don't doubt that that he's going to back you up because you know who you are. You know you're seated with him. So that becomes in a weird kind of way something that's become natural to you. So when you go in a hospital room, you don't go in, oh Lord, did I fast enough? Oh Lord, did I did I pray the right prayer? No, you walk in like, oh, oh, sickness don't know who I am. They hadn't been. They didn't get the memo. But but I'm walking up in this place. >> I'm walking up this I I was I I I I was um I I I was a part of his death. I'm a part of his resurrection. I'm a part of his ascension. I've been seated with him. I live my life by the faith of Jesus Christ. Are you serious? I'm going

43:39 to walk in there like who I am. I am I am co I am Listen. When you I when I look at Jesus, I see me. Watch this. Here's what it ought to be. When I look at Jesus, he sees me. When Jesus looks at me, he sees him. >> But people hesitate when you say that. Now, >> I remember back in the day when brother Copeland was was teaching on uh Brother Copeland and and I remember Jerry teaching on it too. You know, uh what it meant when it says uh you are God's. >> And they they had a fit on that boy. I tell you that man sitting up there saying you are gods. And I didn't know how bad it was until I said it. And I'm like, "Oh, how you figure you God? You ain't God. How you figure you God?" I know. I know I ain't God. They knew they

44:25 weren't God. But we knew we were a chip off the block. >> We've been made in his image. And I'm not now now you can you can bring it if you want to, but I am not ashamed nor am I afraid to tell you that I am the mirror image of Jesus Christ. Now, all my actions are not where they need to be, but it's working. It's working. Stuff I used to do, I don't do no more because this life is a journey. >> This Christian life is a journey. And I can't live this Christian life and go on this journey without Jesus. But I start off with him. Praise the Lord. And and listen, falling is a part of walking. >> And walking is a part of running. >> So what you think? Well, I'm gonna get saved today and and and all everything

45:13 gonna be over with. Uh-uh. You gonna get saved today. I remember when I got saved, I cussed by the end of the day. And the first thing I thought about was, "Oh, I might not be saved." That's what he wants you to do. >> He wants you to question your identity >> because your performance is catching up with your identity. Let let me let me let me say this. There there there are two words I want you to hear. See that? I'm leaving my nose. I don't need pump. There's something about there's something called your stance versus your state. >> Follow me now. Your stance is what God has already determined.

46:00 He has already determined you're righteous. >> You're redeemed. You're healed. >> You're delivered. >> From heaven's view. That's your stance. >> Don't care what the devil say. That's your stance. He is only looking at you based on your stance. >> But now your state is a little different. Your state is in the process of lining up with your your stance. It's not there yet. But we understand that if we stay with the stance, it's going to change the state. >> Y'all don't hear what I'm saying. >> Don't let go of your stance and you're going to see your state changing. Glory

46:46 to God. So don't let something in your state tell you that you've changed your stance. >> Your state can't change your stance, but your stance can change your state. I am the righteousness of God. I am delivered. I am healed. I am all those things. And guess what happens? The state begins to change because you won't let go of the stance. You won't let go of your identity. And ain't nothing the devil can do but try to consistently tell you what you're not. But what you do when he does that is you get focused back on the stand. Well, he says I am. Amen. >> So, so you you do something, I don't know, and you don't feel like you're righteous no more. Well, remember, you're not righteous because of you.

47:31 >> You're righteous because of Jesus. >> So, if you want to wonder about where your status is on righteousness, just stop to Jesus. Hey, Jesus. >> Uh, you still all right? He said, "Yeah." And then I say, "Me, too. >> Me, too. >> If Jesus is still right, I'm still right. If Jesus is still healed, I'm still healed. If if whatever the stance is in the face of Jesus, I am still that. And now stay patient because eventually one day you're going to look up and the state you were in a year ago has has transformed and and it keeps transforming because you're on a journey. Praise the Lord. And it keeps transforming. And in two years, you look, you're like, "That ain't even there no more. Wow. My I am now in line

48:18 with my stance because I wouldn't let my state compromise my stance. >> Does that y >> are you on the bus? >> Just keep going, man. >> Keep going. >> Yeah, you're born again. You're saved. And you missed the mark. And now you're going around pleading, "Oh, God ain't no good." See, that's exactly what he wants you to do. >> Lord ain't no good is an attack against your true identity. >> Amen. >> You're on a journey. If you go from where I live at in Atlanta to

49:04 California, it's a journey. I might have to stop and rest. Doesn't make me bad. I may have a flat tire. I have to get out and change it. I may have some other engine issues, but I'm still on the journey. >> I make the correction and I get back on the journey. >> And it's the same like same way with a baby. A baby crawls. Now he starts walking. Now watch this. Then he falls. >> The parent ain't going to beat him up because he fell. >> The baby fell down and you do not tell you not to fall. And you want to whoop the baby because he's learning how to walk. But falling is a part of learning how to walk. >> But yet still some people think God

49:49 going to beat you up because you fell and he know you learning how to walk. >> And other Christians want to do the same thing. Oh, I can't believe can't believe you did that. Sin sin in your life. I ain't spit on you did, brother. God's like, "You're you're learning how to walk. I'm invested in you. >> I ain't never going to leave you." >> That's right. >> You are who I said you are. >> Amen. >> Holiness is the objective of Jesus. >> Jesus wants He's going to get you, but

50:35 it's a it's a journey. Wouldn't it be nice if all of us got saved? We got saved and and we we w we just walked out and we were perfect for the rest of that time. >> You know, you know, you didn't go in the in the prayer room and sit and did like Jane Brown, hit me. Uh uh hit me. It it it it doesn't work like that. Doesn't work like that. I don't know where that came from. That must have been that oatmeal I had had this morning. It's a journey. Now, I'm saying all this because I need you to see Satan's plot and plan

51:22 >> to attack your identity >> like he did Adam and Eve in the garden and like he attempted to do with Jesus. >> So, you going to do what Jesus did. >> All right. Now, let's let's just for a moment, let's let's look at this issue of shame. I want to define it, and then I want to show you how to make sure it it it doesn't work. >> You're good, guys. Here's one thing. Here's one thing I'm recognizing more and more. We're going to we're going to heaven one day, and it's going to blow all of our minds >> because everybody who think they're righter than somebody else, I don't know if that's the word, more right than somebody else. I need a little help with that. You have to preach what you believe. >> Yeah. >> And then it gets straightened out later on.

52:08 >> But are you kidding me? >> It ain't going to be nothing probably what you think. >> You going to see three things when you go to heaven. >> Number one, you going to look around and you going to see somebody and say, "How they get here?" >> And honestly, you'll say, "I knew they supposed to go to hell." And that's why we so we got to stop all this. You going to hell, I'm going to heaven. You going to heaven, I'm going to hell. You going to hell. Stop. >> It's okay to say, "I don't know." >> Not you don't know, but >> don't be judging other people cuz you don't know. In other words, stay out of folk business. Pray for people.

52:54 >> How about praying for people? >> Hey, that still works. How about praying for people? >> How about walking in love when you don't agree? >> Who said you had to agree to love somebody? Was that one of the qualification? Now, if I'm going to love you, we going to have to agree with one another. I What? That's some things me and Taffy don't agree on. But we ain't divorced because we don't agree on that kind of stuff. We know we smart enough to say, "Let's put it on the shelf." Obviously, I'm not articulating what I need to articulate so you can get it. But I I I love you and yeah, I love you and and and you you know you you the one I can't live without and you the one I can't live without. And see that's how you find your mate. You don't look for somebody you can live with. You look for the one you can't live without. That's that's a little something that for free. All right. So I better hear him good to my point

53:40 before I forget the point I was trying to get to. >> Y'all got to help me cuz I think I just forgot the point I was trying to get. Three things. The first thing is you're going to look up in heaven. You'll see somebody that you knew weren't supposed to be there. >> Then the second thing you're going to look around and uh uh of course you're going to see somebody that you knew were going to be there. But then the third thing you going to look around and you going to look at said like, "Dog, I made it. God's got a another level of adventure for us." Yeah. >> I I just think that there's something Why you got us here dealing with life, dealing with all of the the hurts, the joys, the stuff? What is this? Why? It's like you put us in a training pressure thing. What is going on here? Why? I

54:26 mean, you you God, you can just put and everything. All right. Why we got to go through this? Why you get in the fiery furnace with the three Hebrew boys? Why you just didn't blow and put the fire? Why folks got to go through stuff? What you doing? Because you can never achieve maturity in a comfort zone. >> That's good. >> And it is not that God causes the problems >> or makes the problems. >> But I'm telling you, he will sure take advantage of every rough situation you have. >> That's right. >> And the next time it try to hit you, you're like, "Oh, I've seen this movie. I know how it ends. It ain't going to end the same way last time." >> Yes. cuz I'm better than what I used to be.

55:12 >> Okay, I'm better than what I used to be. So, let's look at this. I got to keep up with time. Look, I'm not at home. I can't just keep preaching like, you know, I'm the pastor of this church. I stop when I want to stop. I I don't want you to do like they do in College Park. Well, you the pastor of the church and you stop when you want to stop, but I'm getting ready to leave. Blame it on the oatmeal. This is oatmeal. All right. All right. I want to show you the same scripture three different times and then I want to define shame and show you the difference between shame and guilt again and show you what's what's trying to happen here. All right. I got 36 minutes and I think we can get in here. All

55:58 right. Colossians 2 u uh let's let's go to 13 and 14. Colossians 2 13 and 14. And look at look at what Jesus did here, dude. Um, he's on the cross and he says, "And you being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened or made alive together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses." >> That's powerful. >> Well, brother D, I believe God has forgiven me of my all of my sins in the past. And I believe today if I beg him long enough, he'll forgive me of my sins in the present. But I don't know about forgiving your sins in the future. Listen, dude. When when when when God

56:44 forgave us of our sins, especially all of us, >> we were not even here. All of our sins were in the future. >> Come on. >> What you think? He just He's just hanging out on the cross waiting for you to sin. >> Cuz that's what it be like. He'll never come down cuz you you doing something crazy. And you it don't have to take anything crazy. It can be so simple as a phony, strifeful mindset against somebody. >> Don't have to be crazy. It could be a attitude at a restaurant with a um somebody who's serving you. >> Just a nasty attitude, >> you know. Praise the Lord. I said I wanted grenardine with my coat. Well, calm down, Bubba. Why you all like that? See, in the church you see something

57:29 called nice nasty. Nice nasty. Well, praise the Lord. This is the day the Lord hath made. I will rejoice and be glad in it, but you just need to go get out my way. Nice. Nasty. >> Come on, guys. >> Yeah. He says, "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and he took it out of the way." Wow. And nailed it to the cross, his cross. All right. Now, look at this in the um message translation.

58:16 Colossians 2. I'm going to read verse 12-4 in the message translation. This is pretty strong. If it's initiation, if if it's an initiation ritual you're after, you've already been through it by submitting to baptism. Going under the water was a burial of your old life. Coming up out of it was a resurrection. God raising you from the dead as he did Christ. When you were stuck in your old sin dead life, you were incapable of responding to God. God brought you alive right along with Christ. >> Think of it.

59:03 All sins forgiven. The slate wiped clean. That old arrest warrant canled and nailed to to Christ's cross. I I don't know how clear you can get. >> And then in the mirror translation, his body nailed to the cross hung there as the document of mankind's guilt. In dying our death, he canled the detailed handwritten record which testified against us. It's been cancelled. Now, what does all this have to do with

59:50 shaming your identity? Write some of this down. Shame is a painful emotion caused by a consciousness of guilt or shortcoming. It's a painful emotion. Now, I know some want to think they don't have emotions, but you do. >> I know you try to convince yourself that you're emotionless, but you you have emotions. God gave you those emotions. >> Your soul is made up of your mind, your will and your emotions. >> It is made up of your thinker, your filler, and your chooser. >> You have emotions, but you should not allow those emotions to those negative emotions to have you.

1:00:36 >> So, denial of you of emotions is certainly not going to get you where you want to be. It's a negative emotion. It's a sense of failure before the eyes of another. Shame is a negative emotion that can make you feel unworthy and embarrassed about yourself. Shame is an intense pain of feeling unworthy, disconnected and unlovable. unworthy, disconnected, and unlovable before people and even before God. And that's not anything

1:01:24 to sit there and and let it dominate you. All of that is trying to attack your true identity. And yet, it happens. It happens. And we've been advised, we know what we need to do. We resist it. See, when stuff like that happens, you resist it. >> You don't sit up there and just let depression and let negative emotions just beat you up. >> Hey, what I'm going through? I'm I don't know. I'm being beat up by these negative emotions. Well, what you going to do about it? >> You Superman acting like Clark Kent. What you going to do about it? You're taking a train to the next state when you can fly. What are you doing about it? You first of all, you resist. You withstand. You fight against you. You go to the promises and you believe the promise more than you believe what shame's trying to do to you.

1:02:12 >> All right. It's there, but it doesn't have to stay there. That that's the whole deal. When it shows up, I'm going to resist. >> The Bible says, "Submit yourself to God. Resist the devil." And what he'll do? >> He'll flee. But sometimes people just sit there like, "Well, you never know." And and here's what they do with grace is so misunderstood. Well, you know, I'm under the grace of God, so I'm just waiting. That ain't what that means. That's not what that's supposed to be doing. It's not it's not it. You have effort that's involved in participating in what Jesus has done. So, and and part of that is resisting. You have been given the power to resist. But some people won't do that. I'm not

1:02:58 going to let I'm not going to let anything of the devil continue to mess with me without me putting up a fight. >> And besides, Jesus already whipped them. The fight ought not be that bad. >> And how what does the fight look like? I'm still righteous now. >> I'm still healed. Whatever. >> I was I was in a situation. I was uh I was I was shooting a movie and I was exhausted. I was just tired. Everybody on set was a whole lot younger than I was. And I was playing a I was playing a lawyer, which it was a true story. And oh god, I was just It was from like 5:30 till like 10:00.

1:03:43 And I got home and I started cramping up cuz I don't want I didn't want to eat nothing or drink nothing cuz I didn't want to mess with with my rhythm. And uh I got home and I started walking and I got cramps in my in my and my calves and and and and and my toes. You know that kind of cramp where your toes start going on top of each other and you trying you try to you try to spread them back out and then it make it worse. >> And and and and and Taffy wasn't home. She had she she was going out of town for that day. And so I I came home and I said, "Well, I'm I got a treatment room, so I'm gonna go get in my treatment room and do some treatment and drink water and all that kind of stuff." And on the way to the treatment room, I got stuck in a in a hallway because every time I

1:04:29 moved a cramp, so I'm doing like this like I can't I can't look like that. You remember that? You remember that old commercial with the cat? Perina catow cha like what? >> All right. So, I'm like, "Dude, I don't have to put up with this." Yeah, it wasn't a good idea for me to do what I did. I'll do better, but but no, not here. Not by myself. Here. Uh-uh. I said, "In the name of Jesus, I'm healed." >> All right, watch this. Watch this. I said, "I'm healed." And and and nothing

1:05:16 happened. In fact, the cramp it got worse. I said I am healed and nothing happened. And somebody said, "Well, it ain't working." Yeah, but at least I'm at least I'm resisting. >> Yeah. >> I ain't going to just sit there and just let it hit me. I I don't care if I didn't drink water. I I learned. But I have access to to everything that Jesus has access to and I'm going to resist. Now watch this. So then got a little better and I took the next step and and it and and it got it started again. I still laugh at myself when I do this. I I say it, devil, do you think I need to have evidence to believe that I am already healed? I'm

1:06:02 not saying this so I can get evidence of what I already know. I'm saying this because I believe it. >> As soon as I did that, I just started walking and doing what I need to be doing. Jesus. >> See, I don't weigh my confession with what's happening now. I know that's got to get straight. I'm going to keep standing. I'm going to stay in alignment. I'm going to keep doing what God tells me to do. But you're not going to shame me out of my Jesus identity. I know what I have access to. All right. So, don't even know how we got there. Somebody needed that. Whatever. All right. So shame is a weapon Satan uses to keep you away from your true identity and your purpose.

1:06:49 >> Your purpose is the uh foundation, excuse me, your uh your your identity is your foundation for your purpose. Get your true identity together. Get locked into there and you'll begin to not invent your purpose, but discover your purpose. All right. So, it's a weapon that he uses for that. Now, most people define guilt and shame like they're the same. Let me show you some difference in in in several different ways. Saying the same thing. Number one, guilt is seeing what you've done. Guilt is seeing what you've done. Oh, I'm guilty because I see what I've done. But shame is seeing yourself as a failure because of what you've done.

1:07:36 Shame is always directed at your identity. >> Trying to attack who you are. Yeah, I feel guilty for what I've done, but now I see myself a failure because of what I've done. That's what you got to fight. You got to stay in sync with who you are, even in the midst of this journey that you're taking right now. Secondly, guilt is a is is feeling bad about what you do. I'm guilty because I feel bad about what I do. But shame is feeling bad about who you are. Again, shame is trying to take the guilt and turn it towards your identity. Number three, guilt is an awareness of failure against

1:08:24 a a a standard or maybe even a code of conduct, the word of God that you you you live by. But shame is a sense of failure before the eyes of someone. Oh, now look what happened. Now I am I'm full of shame because someone else sees what has happened to me. And you got to be careful because you'll go into hiding. The next one, guilt is about disobedience to a to a code or to to the word, our code of conduct. It's it's it's it's um I'm guilty about how I disobeyed that that very clear standard in my life. But shame is how you

1:09:10 perceive how others see you and how you see yourself. Now, now you're walking around like the whole world knows what happened to you. And I and and I'm ashamed and I'm I don't want to be around anybody because, you know, how would how do they see me? That's exactly what Adam and Eve went through. They hid themselves because they were like, "How does God see us?" And you got to be careful not to have fear of shame. Listen to this. Guilt says, "I made a mistake, so I must confess it to get get it off my chest." But shame says, "I am a mistake." See, it's turning your guilt against your identity. Shame says, "I am

1:09:58 a mistake." But now, watch this. So, I must hide it so others don't find out. Uhoh. Look what shame's done. I am a mistake. So, I'm going to hide the mistake because I'm afraid that somebody's going to find out what I've done. Okay? So, now watch this. Now, that's where you take the cover to use it to hide what you've done. And you start now producing a fake identity through the covers. Living your life afraid that somebody going to find you out. >> That's bondage, guys. >> Or a man is afraid that he he questions his responsibilities at a man and he's

1:10:45 afraid his wife is going to remove the cover one day and find out that he is not who he says he is. Because when you're inferior, uh, you have to use false superiority to try to cover up for your inferiority. Inferiority just simply means you feel like you fall short. You feel like you're not valued. You feel like you're not cared for. And so, in order to deal with that, you you you start faking your superiority. Now, you you you act like you're superior uh over everybody. And this is where racism comes from. Racism comes from the fact that I feel uh inferior. So, I'm going to operate on a false sense of superiority and make you think that I'm better than you. But the

1:11:31 issue is is I really don't value me. >> All right, I better leave that alone. Huh? >> Look at what shame is doing. He's turned it from I made a mistake and there's a there's you know how to deal with that. >> Jesus has made provisions for that. You believe in what he has said about your mistakes >> and you go forward and and do better. But now shame has come in and say no you are a mistake. >> You're a mistake. I don't care what you learned at at the believer's convention. Ain't none of that true about you. you I mean the devil first first of all

1:12:18 the devil tempts you to do something and then once you do it he uses it to to condemn you with it. >> It's like dude don't don't don't don't have don't even talk to him. Don't have nothing to do with him. >> He's a sly slick no for nothing. No just need to slap him and keep going. Don't don't don't don't listen to him. That's the flesh. Don't listen to him. And now you're walking around feeling like nobody likes me. Everybody hates me. I'm just I'm just terrible. And then now watch this now. Now you're condemning yourself. I'm just nothing. Now you're you're you're you're you're closing down everything that Jesus has made available to you. I ain't nothing. I can't believe I did that. And now you're taking a little bit too far. And

1:13:06 Shane did that. It turned it against you >> and you let it. And that's why you got to resist. >> And I know emotionally you're feeling some kind of way and in your heart you're feeling some kind of way. And watch this. And and here's the biggest trick of the devil. If you go back to your stance, Satan's going to say, "You're a hypocrite. >> I'm not a hypocrite. I'm just standing on what Jesus said about me. I better do something or I'm going to decide to stand on the issue that I'm a mistake. And I'm not a mistake. I've been wonderfully and beautifully made and I've been accepted into his beloved. >> I'm not a mistake. So if you if you in here feeling like you're a mistake, I'm

1:13:53 telling you, you're not a mistake. >> I don't care what happened. I don't care how you got here. I don't care how you were conceived. You are not a mistake. You listen. You have been wired by God to do something that God >> equipped you to do >> before he released you in your mama's belly. >> And can't nobody do it quite like he's equipped you to do it. >> And you might not know about it yet. So stop asking God, what's my will? Go God, what's your what's the purpose? What's the purpose for my life? And start asking God h what do you want to do through me today? You know what the devil say? He can't do nothing through you today. Don't you remember what you did last night, you old dirty cuss. You got to resist that.

1:14:40 You got to stand up and say, "Bro, that ain't me no more. >> That ain't me no more." Okay. On the journey last night, I fell, but I got up. >> And I'm going to be all right. And I'm not leaving God. >> I'm not leaving him. He's been too good to me. Hallelujah. I'm not leaving him. Glory to God. He He comforted me when I was lonely and he he fed me when I was naked and and he made a way where there was no way and and I didn't know I was going to pay this bill, but somehow the thing worked out and he gave me favor and you're trying to tempt me to live the only to live leave the only one that can help me. And you want me to get mad at the only one that can help me? You you No, I'm not going to ever leave him. He said he'll never leave me nor forsake

1:15:26 me. And I'm never gonna leave him or forsake him. I am in it for this life and the next one. >> I ain't going nowhere. >> Well, what do you think other people saying? I don't care. As long as I'm all right with him, we good. I ain't in bondage to what other people think. >> You got to Yes, you build boundaries. Some of you need to learn how to build boundaries. Some of them need you need to learn how to build boundaries >> cuz you exploit yourself sometime. >> Yeah, you do. >> And sometimes when you do that, you allow people to to to not value you. I I'm I'm I got girls and and and I got to

1:16:14 let my girls know, don't let nobody devalue you. >> I said that's toxic. >> I said when they don't value your presence, make sure they get acquainted with your absence. Preach it. Preach it. >> Don't let Don't let him do that to you. >> You You understand what I'm saying? >> This is you protecting your identity. >> I'm not going to let the devil sit up there and whisper in my ear and tell me I ain't nothing. >> That's right. >> Cuz I missed it. >> I ain't doing that. >> I am the righteousness of God. I live by the faith of Jesus Christ. I am righteous and I am forgiven and I am complete in him and I am seated with him

1:17:00 and I if I if I have to do that crying I am not going to let go of who I am. >> Shame can only control and define us when we live in the fear of it. It can only control and define us when we live in the fear of it. Adam and Eve sinned. They hid themselves because they were ashamed of what they did. And the Bible says, "And they were afraid when God showed up and listened

1:17:46 to them." Where y'all at? What were they afraid of? They were afraid that God is going to see them differently. And the real issue is they saw themselves differently. >> Amen. >> All right. You remember the um uh let's see, let's go to Ephesians 1 6-7. He said to the praise and the glory of his grace wherein he hath made us acceptable in the beloved. Jesus has made us acceptable

1:18:31 in the beloved because of what Jesus did in whom we have redemption. We have redemption. We have been redeemed. We have redemption through his blood. The forgiveness of sins. We have the forgiveness of sin according to the riches of his grace. And remember, grace is not a curriculum. It's a person. It's according to all of the riches of Jesus Christ. >> We have this. Let me show you an example. Look at Luke 7:38. There was a woman who had a pretty messed up past and they looked at her with a lot of shame and she wanted to wash his feet and and really minister to him. And verse 38 says, "And stood at his feet behind him weeping and began to

1:19:19 wash his feet with tears and did wipe them with the hairs of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with anointment." And then verse 39. Now when the Pharisees which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, "This man," now you know Jesus can know what you're talking about even when when you don't open your mouth up. This man, if he were a prophet, if he was really a prophet, now they're Watch this. What are they going to do? They're doubting his identity. if he was really a pro prophet would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touchth him for she is a

1:20:07 sinner sinner so you can see there was a place of shame but not for long look what Jesus said in verse 48 in 7:48 and so there was a place for shame here because how they felt. And he said unto her, "Thy sins are forgiven." >> Now watch this now. Thy sins are forgiven. Your sins are forgiven. And in Luke 7:49 and 50, when the guests murmured about this, look at what he said. "And they that sat at me with him be to say within themselves, who is this? Who

1:20:52 is this that forgiveth sins also? Boy, them Pharisees are sad. You see verse 50. And he said to the woman, he going to help her faith out. Your faith hath saved thee. Go in peace cuz your sins are forgiven. So here's the question. How did Jesus help her battle the crippling effect of shame? He gave her a promise. He gave her a promise. When he gave her a promise, she now has a choice. Are you going to believe the promise or are you going to believe the shame?

1:21:41 >> You got to decide. You going to believe the promise or you going to believe the shame? Because in Romans chapter 10 11, this is amazing to me. For the scripture said, "Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." It's it's the issue of who you're going to believe. I'm going to believe on him. Now, I I I question like, "Lord, uh, all right. Believe on you." What What are you talking about? I believe you, Jesus. Show me about this. He that believeth on you, I I I need to know how to believe. I need a little bit more to know how to believe. And what he's asking, what he's saying is, do you believe in Christ to be the fulfillment of the promise that God redeemed mankind? I believe that

1:22:30 Jesus is the fulfillment that God promised that he would redeem mankind. And whoever believes that Jesus is the fulfillment of that redemption, glory to God, shall not be put to shame. >> So if shame comes, you need to say, "Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. I believe that I've been redeemed because God made a promise and Jesus is fulfillment of that." And so, you know, you can't touch this. Move. Go somewhere else. Yes, >> I am not going to be I am not going to be uh uh subject to your shame because I believe that God Almighty has already delivered me and taken care of me. Amen. >> And besides, ladies and gentlemen, you

1:23:16 got to understand something. I got nine minutes. I think I can do this. Uh oh. I I um I I really want to show you this and I'm just going to show it to you. >> You ain't got to do nothing with it. You can throw it away. You can put in trash can. You can say heresy. You can do whatever you want to do. I'm good with that. All right. But I I was looking at rock fossils and how it keeps so much data in the rock. >> You can find so much out about things that happened thousands of years ago. by just looking at the data that's in a rock.

1:24:02 And then I'm just kind of like, ah, you know, looking around and and uh I found something that said that uh that this term is equivalent to what we use a term that that we use today, which I'm always trying to bring it up where we are, a hard drive. I said, "Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. A hard drive and a rock both keep up with data. Hey, you know where I'm going. You know I'm going now. Now I'm going to go slow. I'm ready to run.

H Yeah, you ought not be questioning your identity anymore because there's a rock that has all the data. >> That's just just hold on hold on. There's a rock.

All right, watch this. The conclusion of the prophetic reference pointed towards the rock as the spirit identity of human life. Huh? In Messiah, God has placed his testimony of mankind's identity in front of their eyes.

1:26:20 In Zion, the center of their religious focus, yet blinded by their own efforts to justify themselves, they tripped over him cuz he had all the data concerning them. But those who recognized him by faith as the rock from which they were heuned >> are freed from the shame of their sense of failure and inferiority. >> All right.
