"What Are You Worth?" RESCUE RADIO with Marjorie Cole

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:24.560
Music.

00:00:24.579 --> 00:00:28.459
Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul.

00:00:28.779 --> 00:00:33.739
Yes, Lord God, indeed. A war that is going on that's already been won.

00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.739
Father God, you are faithful to complete the work you have begun in us,

00:00:37.839 --> 00:00:42.319
even in allowing us, creating us, establishing us, bringing us to this place.

00:00:42.459 --> 00:00:46.959
Lord, you are faithful to deliver us safe back to our eternal home.

00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:49.519
And so I thank you for this day, this ministry.

00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.999
I thank you for the message of your love and truth. I thank you now that you

00:00:52.999 --> 00:00:56.419
will open our eyes and hearts to receive. Give us ears to hear.

00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.379
Lord God, you said that many times. If you have ears to hear,

00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:00.699
then hear. Hear what I'm saying.

00:01:00.819 --> 00:01:03.859
And so, Lord, may these things sink down into our understanding,

00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:08.959
into our true understanding that our spirits will connect with you and understand

00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:13.699
and prevail against the fear that promotes and provokes our souls, Father.

00:01:13.999 --> 00:01:17.879
And I thank you, Jesus, for dying on the cross. I thank you that you paid that

00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:24.399
price, shared your love, but shed your blood, all your blood. It had to be done.

00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.879
There was no good deeds. There was no good works. There was no perfect life

00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.979
that could accomplish or break the curse of sin and death in our lives.

00:01:32.979 --> 00:01:38.579
It was your shed blood and your love and your innocence that actually brought us to innocence.

00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:43.819
So I thank you for being faithful to the Father, being obedient to Him, suffering unto death.

00:01:43.819 --> 00:01:48.759
I thank you for us realizing and appreciating and realizing that the only thing

00:01:48.759 --> 00:01:54.099
we need to do is accept that perfect gift, that final payment for our sins.

00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.879
And I thank you, Jesus, for giving us now wisdom.

00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.799
And you said, if any man lacks wisdom, let us ask of God. So each one,

00:01:59.899 --> 00:02:03.139
for those hearing, listening, be encouraged today.

00:02:03.459 --> 00:02:07.719
Remove the spirits of fear and bondage and sickness and pain and demonic judgments

00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.679
and afflictions upon them, Father God. And we ask that no weapon that's been

00:02:11.679 --> 00:02:14.539
formed against us will prevail, Father God. You give us grace.

00:02:14.659 --> 00:02:17.639
You said you'll never test this above that you're able to keep us,

00:02:17.699 --> 00:02:22.559
but with every temptation to fear, to fail, you provide a way of escape.

00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.819
Give us the courage to use that, that way of to escape, Father God,

00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.439
in Jesus' name. And be blessed. Amen.

00:02:30.106 --> 00:02:35.806
Amen. Well, I have a question for everyone here today. Okay. What are you worth?

00:02:36.706 --> 00:02:41.226
What are we worth? What are we worth? What does God say we're worth?

00:02:41.326 --> 00:02:43.886
What do people say we're worth? What do we say we're worth? Well, yeah.

00:02:44.186 --> 00:02:49.766
You know, we assign value. In the world, we assign value to various things.

00:02:49.906 --> 00:02:54.666
You know, if we're listing a house for sale, we assign a certain value for it.

00:02:54.806 --> 00:03:00.226
We have a list price and so forth. And then there's certain things in the world

00:03:00.226 --> 00:03:03.926
that are determined, the value of them are determined by supply and demand.

00:03:04.186 --> 00:03:09.726
Now, if there's fewer of things people want, there's more demand and there's a higher price to pay.

00:03:10.086 --> 00:03:19.886
And so if something is very rare or a one-of-a-kind item, then there's more value to it.

00:03:19.926 --> 00:03:24.366
There's more value assigned to it. And basically, it gets down to,

00:03:24.466 --> 00:03:30.966
Margie, what something is worth is what's worth to someone. Who's willing to pay.

00:03:31.106 --> 00:03:37.246
What is someone willing to pay determines what that worth is.

00:03:37.366 --> 00:03:43.566
Now, I was reading a while back that Bob Dylan, the legendary Bob Dylan.

00:03:44.206 --> 00:03:47.306
Wrote a song many years ago called Like a Rolling Stone.

00:03:47.306 --> 00:03:50.706
It was just a tremendous hit, you know, still today.

00:03:50.706 --> 00:03:57.506
But the original copy of when he wrote that song he wrote it on hotel stationery

00:03:57.506 --> 00:04:05.126
in a hotel room in New York City and that original copy that he wrote of that song the lyrics,

00:04:05.737 --> 00:04:09.537
recently sold for $2.2 million. What a waste.

00:04:11.237 --> 00:04:15.657
And it's like, really? So there's really no value in it.

00:04:15.677 --> 00:04:21.017
Would anybody even give $2.2 million for you, for me, for our souls, for our ransom?

00:04:21.257 --> 00:04:23.617
It's like we're like paper plates that have been thrown away.

00:04:23.777 --> 00:04:28.497
And we have, you know, society sees us as only fodder or commodities that can

00:04:28.497 --> 00:04:32.637
make them money or opportunities to make money. But you're right.

00:04:32.937 --> 00:04:38.377
We're worth what people are willing to pay. Yeah, and that piece of stationery

00:04:38.377 --> 00:04:41.977
was, you know, worth a few cents, maybe not even hardly a penny back then.

00:04:42.437 --> 00:04:46.557
But someone thought that was so valuable because they valued,

00:04:46.557 --> 00:04:49.257
they valued. Having, owning.

00:04:49.857 --> 00:04:52.797
That piece of paper.

00:04:54.137 --> 00:04:59.257
You know, because they had such an esteem. Right. For the legendary Bob Dylan.

00:04:59.557 --> 00:05:09.397
Well, what about for us now? I mean, if you think of our bodies as what we're worth, chemically,

00:05:09.537 --> 00:05:15.297
the minerals in your body are worth about a dollar. Really?

00:05:15.697 --> 00:05:20.017
Is that inflationary? Well, it could be a little bit more with inflation.

00:05:20.317 --> 00:05:24.557
Two dollars back in the day? I heard back in the day it was worth a dollar,

00:05:24.617 --> 00:05:27.157
and now they're still saying it's about a dollar or so. Well,

00:05:27.157 --> 00:05:29.617
they can say whatever they want. but that means that when you're all distilled

00:05:29.617 --> 00:05:32.317
down, the raw materials in your body would bring about a buck.

00:05:32.617 --> 00:05:37.877
Now, this is incredibly, you know, this doesn't make any sense because we're

00:05:37.877 --> 00:05:38.997
fearfully and wonderfully made.

00:05:39.077 --> 00:05:44.637
And I guess it's a greater attribute to the miracle working of God that He can

00:05:44.637 --> 00:05:50.537
use mud and clay and elements and minerals and trace minerals and more water, throwing it together,

00:05:50.697 --> 00:05:55.257
to make this mud baby that is worth, to Him,

00:05:55.657 --> 00:06:00.337
the blood of His Son, but to us many times it's worthless and you know it's

00:06:00.337 --> 00:06:04.057
getting to be more and more appalling shit and a shattering of our,

00:06:04.540 --> 00:06:09.420
human morality to see how little we value life.

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:14.080
It's like we throw lives away in war. We throw lives away in abortion.

00:06:14.300 --> 00:06:19.080
We throw young people's lives away that haven't even got a chance to start their

00:06:19.080 --> 00:06:21.820
lives because we have more power than they do in that position.

00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:26.760
But what individually, individually, this all comes down to not only what are

00:06:26.760 --> 00:06:31.840
you worth, Jerry, but where are you going to end up and you're going to have

00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:36.820
to give an accountability for the gift God has given you in giving you human life.

00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:43.060
Yeah. Jesus said, you know, what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Exactly.

00:06:43.380 --> 00:06:46.660
You know, and we have to— Well, what are men giving in exchange for their souls?

00:06:46.820 --> 00:06:50.320
A lot of people are selling out cheap. They're selling out, you know,

00:06:50.380 --> 00:06:56.920
for another sexual relationship. They're selling out for another hit of meth.

00:06:57.880 --> 00:07:01.380
But there are also a lot of people are selling out for a lot of money.

00:07:01.960 --> 00:07:05.800
Oh, yeah. They're making gobs and gobs, billions of dollars,

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.780
millions of dollars in their bank accounts because they've betrayed human life.

00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.280
They've betrayed human beings. They've betrayed human dignity.

00:07:12.580 --> 00:07:16.960
They've just rejected the counsel of God and His Word. And so they are actually

00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:20.320
selling out their souls for a spot in hell, really.

00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.940
I mean, you know, Jesus, remember the story He told about Lazarus and the rich man?

00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:30.760
You know, that's not really a story. That was not really a parable. That was a real thing.

00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:35.300
And there was, you know, he told it as if it were a man. But this is,

00:07:35.380 --> 00:07:36.540
and Jesus is telling the story.

00:07:36.660 --> 00:07:41.700
So he knows the ultimate outcome of our situation and where we're going to end up.

00:07:41.820 --> 00:07:45.400
And how we use our lives and how we see our lives.

00:07:45.860 --> 00:07:51.040
Yeah, how we see our lives. I mean, do you see your life as valuable?

00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:58.700
And, you know, we tend to, in our experiences, tend to determine how we view ourselves.

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:03.240
Bottom line, we find this in working with people.

00:08:04.027 --> 00:08:08.527
And that people come to the place and say, you know, I'm not worthy.

00:08:09.467 --> 00:08:13.887
I'm not worthy of good things. It's a bottom line thing. I am not worthy.

00:08:14.007 --> 00:08:17.107
I'm not worthy of what? What would it take for you to be worthy?

00:08:17.427 --> 00:08:20.467
The blood of Jesus makes me worthy. He is my righteousness.

00:08:20.627 --> 00:08:25.767
But the thing is, we have to understand this only makes sense in the context of spiritual warfare.

00:08:25.947 --> 00:08:31.847
And Satan has removed, obscured from us our identity. Your identity comes from

00:08:31.847 --> 00:08:33.627
your origin, and our origin comes from God.

00:08:34.027 --> 00:08:39.287
So when we get here, Satan obscures that, and he rewrites or redefines us in

00:08:39.287 --> 00:08:43.727
the snake pit according to behavior and according to how well we're doing or

00:08:43.727 --> 00:08:47.387
what we do or how much money we've got or how we've succeeded in this or that.

00:08:47.727 --> 00:08:54.307
So really, this all is entangled in the gospel, too, because the gospel,

00:08:54.507 --> 00:08:56.947
according to Jesus Christ, is a gospel of grace and good news.

00:08:57.107 --> 00:09:01.147
And he's saying, you're worth it. I was willing to die for you.

00:09:01.247 --> 00:09:05.267
You're precious to me. you're irreplaceable there's

00:09:05.267 --> 00:09:08.247
no other one like you i want you for myself i

00:09:08.247 --> 00:09:11.027
want us to be together i love you and this is so

00:09:11.027 --> 00:09:16.967
incomprehensible to us because we all see everything is based on conditions

00:09:16.967 --> 00:09:21.007
and merit you've got to earn it you've got to deserve it you've got to be born

00:09:21.007 --> 00:09:25.187
in the right position you've got to have connections you've got to have be willing

00:09:25.187 --> 00:09:29.327
to sell your soul and and do sexual favors for example to get to your position

00:09:29.327 --> 00:09:30.787
of where you want to be etc etc.

00:09:31.347 --> 00:09:35.767
So we are selling ourselves really, really short, and we don't realize how precious we are.

00:09:35.847 --> 00:09:40.427
And the other part of that is that we have been taught by the enemy,

00:09:40.947 --> 00:09:44.247
the counterfeit gospel, which is all about get rid of your sin,

00:09:44.367 --> 00:09:52.407
which always highlights our failure, our shortcomings, our transgressions, the lies we believed.

00:09:52.647 --> 00:09:57.227
And so people are taking up this be good, get rid of your sin gospel,

00:09:57.227 --> 00:10:02.167
which also implies I've got to do something, to be something.

00:10:02.467 --> 00:10:05.047
I got to do good to be good. Does that make sense?

00:10:05.607 --> 00:10:12.507
Yeah, that's a mentality. And another thing, too, is that we can be so self-focused.

00:10:12.707 --> 00:10:15.667
The thing is, we are valuable people.

00:10:16.163 --> 00:10:20.003
But if we're so focused on ourselves. Or entitlement.

00:10:20.923 --> 00:10:23.763
Entitlement. Or what's in it for me. That's the other side of the coin.

00:10:23.943 --> 00:10:25.943
Yeah, that's the flip side of that.

00:10:26.663 --> 00:10:29.863
So the other side of the identity coin, so you can either feel you're worthless.

00:10:30.343 --> 00:10:33.643
But you see, most people that feel really worthless, they have already been

00:10:33.643 --> 00:10:36.263
defrauded of their right to be who they are.

00:10:36.523 --> 00:10:39.743
They've already lost their identity because they've compromised their lives,

00:10:39.843 --> 00:10:43.763
their self, their worth, their truth, their value, to give it away to other

00:10:43.763 --> 00:10:47.743
people. so that they can have peace or that they can have favor or protection.

00:10:48.103 --> 00:10:52.663
So a lot of times when kids are growing up, for example, they shut down.

00:10:52.783 --> 00:10:54.943
They won't let you see who they are. They'll be quiet.

00:10:55.223 --> 00:10:58.743
They're hidden because it's not safe to come out. It's not okay to be who I

00:10:58.743 --> 00:11:03.403
am because they've been raised in a limited, constricted place where I have

00:11:03.403 --> 00:11:05.463
to be good. I have to be quiet. I can't be seen.

00:11:05.663 --> 00:11:09.563
I have to heal. I have to be perfect so my mom and dad don't get divorced, blah, blah, blah.

00:11:10.263 --> 00:11:14.223
And so this is why a lot of people don't know who they are, because they've

00:11:14.223 --> 00:11:18.403
been programmed from child on and shaped to be quiet, to be compliant.

00:11:18.883 --> 00:11:22.183
And then that turns into complacency, because if you don't feel like you're

00:11:22.183 --> 00:11:24.283
worth anything, then why bother?

00:11:24.803 --> 00:11:31.663
Yeah, I mean, it's basically up to mothers and fathers to instill,

00:11:31.743 --> 00:11:35.383
introduce their children to their worth.

00:11:35.583 --> 00:11:38.523
Now, sometimes people just worship their kids.

00:11:38.983 --> 00:11:41.923
You know, we're not here to worship our kids. And on the other hand.

00:11:42.323 --> 00:11:47.283
On the other hand, kids are just being just trashed.

00:11:47.943 --> 00:11:51.803
Destroyed. Or they don't even have a chance at life. They're aborted.

00:11:52.103 --> 00:11:54.003
They're caught up. Or they're caught up in their parents. Before they have a

00:11:54.003 --> 00:11:58.483
chance. They're caught up in their parents' transgressions and torment.

00:11:59.343 --> 00:12:02.883
They're caught up in their parents' torment is what it really looks like.

00:12:02.883 --> 00:12:08.543
And so, people see themselves as basically, you know, worthless.

00:12:08.823 --> 00:12:14.723
You know, it's like, everything sucks, so why should I even try to do anything?

00:12:14.883 --> 00:12:20.323
And a lot of times, you know, what happens is children are victims of their parents.

00:12:20.862 --> 00:12:24.102
They really are. They're victims of their parents. If you've grown to adulthood,

00:12:24.322 --> 00:12:27.562
somehow you've survived your parents. And that doesn't mean all parents are bad.

00:12:27.742 --> 00:12:31.302
Please don't think that way. But there's plenty, plenty of very bad,

00:12:31.722 --> 00:12:38.382
irresponsible, checked out, drugged and demonized and sedated and seduced parents

00:12:38.382 --> 00:12:39.962
that are giving birth to these children.

00:12:40.282 --> 00:12:44.042
And then on the other side of the coin, parents who want children so desperately

00:12:44.042 --> 00:12:50.142
don't get them. This is also a demonic spiritual attack against people because

00:12:50.142 --> 00:12:53.922
many people would be great parents. They'd be wonderful.

00:12:54.122 --> 00:12:56.202
They'd love their children. And there are many that are.

00:12:56.442 --> 00:13:00.482
But there are many people that have children that they don't care.

00:13:00.482 --> 00:13:02.382
They don't want them. They're a burden.

00:13:02.642 --> 00:13:06.422
They're a bother. And it seems like Satan lets those kids, those be born.

00:13:07.782 --> 00:13:12.062
Because he has another chance to kill those children. whereas the children that

00:13:12.062 --> 00:13:15.702
would be born to the righteous, he tries to stop that through infertility,

00:13:15.842 --> 00:13:20.422
etc., etc., to break the hearts of the parents themselves. They want children. They want offspring.

00:13:20.662 --> 00:13:24.382
I've just had several of those just recently where they're past childbearing

00:13:24.382 --> 00:13:27.822
now and they never got to have their children. And how do you live with that?

00:13:28.882 --> 00:13:33.242
All you can do with something like that is just surrender.

00:13:33.402 --> 00:13:36.142
Many times bad things have happened to us. We've lost our husbands.

00:13:36.282 --> 00:13:37.442
We've lost our wives. Divorce.

00:13:37.662 --> 00:13:41.242
Children dead. said, what do you do with these kinds of things?

00:13:41.422 --> 00:13:45.622
And this is kind of off the subject, but offshoot, because what do you do with

00:13:45.622 --> 00:13:48.962
these terrible tragedies that you're going through in your life?

00:13:49.042 --> 00:13:54.262
You have the opportunity to use that, allow that tragedy that Satan has brought

00:13:54.262 --> 00:13:57.602
into your life that God has permitted for whatever reason, but God always has

00:13:57.602 --> 00:14:00.882
a plan to bring it to better, to bring it to beauty.

00:14:01.482 --> 00:14:07.342
So the best thing you can do, if it's beyond your control, whatever it is,

00:14:07.502 --> 00:14:11.222
is surrender it to Jesus and say, here, this is my sacrifice to you.

00:14:11.462 --> 00:14:15.482
This is my offering to you. I will trust you, Lord God.

00:14:15.642 --> 00:14:18.322
I will surrender this loss to you.

00:14:18.422 --> 00:14:21.942
But see, on the other side of it, why is this happening? Because people don't

00:14:21.942 --> 00:14:25.502
know they're valuable. Because people don't cherish the truth.

00:14:25.642 --> 00:14:28.362
They don't cherish the salvation that Jesus brought us.

00:14:28.742 --> 00:14:33.902
They don't know who they are. Right, and so when you understand your true value, It's not,

00:14:34.402 --> 00:14:39.862
you know, I mean, obviously, if you figure in a workplace, if someone is a high

00:14:39.862 --> 00:14:47.582
performer, they're of more value to the company than a poor performer, that sort of thing.

00:14:48.022 --> 00:14:54.622
But, you know, so, you know, performance is, there's a factor there that's significant as well.

00:14:54.782 --> 00:14:59.342
But it's not, your value is basically because of who you are.

00:14:59.502 --> 00:15:04.202
Your performance will be dependent on how you see yourself. How you see yourself, you know.

00:15:04.762 --> 00:15:10.162
But the thing is, too, we're not called to be in the place where we have to

00:15:10.162 --> 00:15:11.922
perform to prove our worth.

00:15:12.832 --> 00:15:18.072
You know, to just say, okay, I'm valuable because I'm the highest producing

00:15:18.072 --> 00:15:23.952
salesman on the team, or I'm the best athlete on the team. But what about next year?

00:15:24.212 --> 00:15:26.992
What about when you get older? What about when you can't do that anymore?

00:15:27.152 --> 00:15:30.352
We have people who they don't want to retire because that's their identity.

00:15:30.692 --> 00:15:35.152
But you have to realize I have to be worth more than what I do because what

00:15:35.152 --> 00:15:40.552
about people who are stricken or bound to wheelchairs? What about people who can't run that fast?

00:15:41.232 --> 00:15:45.212
This is not God's criteria for us to be valuable to Him.

00:15:45.392 --> 00:15:50.632
We're valuable to Him because we are made in His image and likeness.

00:15:50.792 --> 00:15:53.992
He relates to us as His sons and daughters.

00:15:54.272 --> 00:15:59.052
You know, you can have pets. We're not a pet to God. We're a child.

00:15:59.232 --> 00:16:00.272
We're His son or His daughter.

00:16:00.492 --> 00:16:05.872
And whether you were born stricken and bound and deformed or whether you were

00:16:05.872 --> 00:16:13.272
born beautiful and bright and fully equipped, worth the same thing to God. Why?

00:16:13.452 --> 00:16:18.512
Because ultimately, the body carries the soul, and the soul as an eternal destiny.

00:16:18.812 --> 00:16:22.032
We will live forever, either in heaven or hell. People need to understand that

00:16:22.032 --> 00:16:25.832
we're in a very critical, critical crisis.

00:16:27.572 --> 00:16:32.352
It's the last act, third act of this movie, the crisis, the grand finale,

00:16:32.512 --> 00:16:38.132
when every stop of Satan is being pulled out to traumatize, terrify, kill, destroy.

00:16:38.332 --> 00:16:45.632
Just look at the weather and you'll see how even creation is groaning and travailing.

00:16:45.772 --> 00:16:52.292
We are in the birth process right now to bring forth the Lord.

00:16:52.512 --> 00:16:55.112
The return of Jesus. Yeah, the return of Jesus. We're bringing forth it.

00:16:55.372 --> 00:16:58.012
But you know what a person is in that labor process.

00:16:58.292 --> 00:17:05.252
The contractions get closer and closer and more and more intense until the baby is brought forth.

00:17:05.432 --> 00:17:08.232
And so the baby would be the return of Jesus Christ.

00:17:08.372 --> 00:17:12.432
And people kind of know this, and they're kind of like scurrying around and

00:17:12.432 --> 00:17:14.472
looking for what's going on.

00:17:14.572 --> 00:17:16.872
What's happening, yeah. But you gotta start with the basics.

00:17:16.952 --> 00:17:20.232
And the basics are that you need to know that you are, well,

00:17:20.232 --> 00:17:22.292
actually we don't need to know it. We already do know.

00:17:22.753 --> 00:17:27.153
God put it in your spirit to know the truth, to know the light.

00:17:27.273 --> 00:17:29.113
He says he lights every man that comes into the world.

00:17:29.313 --> 00:17:33.773
That light is put in your spirit, not in your soul, not necessarily in your

00:17:33.773 --> 00:17:36.873
environment, you know, where you can see and understand it immediately,

00:17:36.933 --> 00:17:40.613
but it's put into our spirit so that when the truth comes by,

00:17:40.833 --> 00:17:43.113
our spirit grasps onto it and knows it.

00:17:43.493 --> 00:17:47.613
However, the problem is, you know, talking about value and understanding who

00:17:47.613 --> 00:17:52.053
we are, we do not understand how this thing started. And if you don't know how

00:17:52.053 --> 00:17:53.993
it started, you won't know what's going on.

00:17:54.293 --> 00:17:58.353
In the beginning, when the fallen angels fell and they took the human women

00:17:58.353 --> 00:18:02.813
for their wives, the second thing they did was teach the secrets to the women.

00:18:03.373 --> 00:18:10.013
And Samjaza, for example, in the book of Enoch, was the one who created enchantments

00:18:10.013 --> 00:18:12.073
and sorcery, woodcutting.

00:18:12.193 --> 00:18:14.913
So people are born woke.

00:18:15.353 --> 00:18:19.613
They're not born alive. They're not born awake. They're not born knowing the

00:18:19.613 --> 00:18:23.073
snake pit. They're not born knowing Jesus died for them. They're not born knowing anything.

00:18:23.353 --> 00:18:27.773
They're born in this woke, sedated state.

00:18:28.053 --> 00:18:33.353
And then the enemy proceeds to try to get them to add to that sedation and seduction

00:18:33.353 --> 00:18:35.493
by doing root cuttings or drugs.

00:18:35.713 --> 00:18:38.113
And so drugs, witchcraft, pharmakia.

00:18:38.433 --> 00:18:41.313
Pharmakia means drugs and witchcraft and poison.

00:18:41.973 --> 00:18:47.213
And so Satan wants to sedate you. So a lot of people out there that are woke,

00:18:47.493 --> 00:18:49.253
for example, are not awake.

00:18:49.253 --> 00:18:54.993
That's why we call them woke, because they're unawakened, and so they're still

00:18:54.993 --> 00:18:59.153
in that first state of stupor, and that's what the gospel does,

00:18:59.273 --> 00:19:03.033
brings the light, wakes you up, shakes you.

00:19:03.093 --> 00:19:10.033
It's like you've been sleeping, and someone comes and shakes you awake or arouses you with that.

00:19:11.810 --> 00:19:20.490
It's time to get up. So Jesus Christ is the one who basically releases to us our true identity.

00:19:20.790 --> 00:19:27.690
Absolutely. You know, we find our true identity in Jesus Christ. And this is really it.

00:19:27.830 --> 00:19:31.770
We talk about identity confusion, you know, physically.

00:19:32.090 --> 00:19:35.770
Am I male? Am I female? Should I switch? Whatever, back and forth,

00:19:35.930 --> 00:19:38.430
whatever. So there's an identity confusion.

00:19:39.290 --> 00:19:43.070
Confusion is from hell. There's an identity crisis. We really don't know who

00:19:43.070 --> 00:19:45.490
are we. Are we the product of evolution?

00:19:45.910 --> 00:19:50.250
Are we just a chance being? Are we just trash?

00:19:50.710 --> 00:19:55.370
Are we an accident? But, you know, I'm thinking about David,

00:19:55.530 --> 00:20:01.570
you know, when he really, when we get a sense, oh, let me just read this.

00:20:01.810 --> 00:20:06.970
Psalm 139 and verses 13 through 16.

00:20:07.630 --> 00:20:11.890
For you formed, now David's writing, he's talking to the Lord.

00:20:12.050 --> 00:20:14.450
He says, for you formed my inward parts.

00:20:14.870 --> 00:20:20.350
You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

00:20:20.390 --> 00:20:25.310
He's saying I am just, the way you put me together is just absolutely amazing.

00:20:26.550 --> 00:20:31.370
Marvelous are your works and that my soul knows very well.

00:20:31.950 --> 00:20:39.490
He's saying that I am one of your works, right? So he's really looking at his identity there.

00:20:40.050 --> 00:20:46.370
My frame was not hidden from you. My skeleton, my whatever, was not hidden from

00:20:46.370 --> 00:20:52.290
you when I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of

00:20:52.290 --> 00:20:54.410
the earth. In other words, in my mother's womb.

00:20:54.650 --> 00:20:59.910
That secret place. You wove me together. You knit me together, yeah.

00:21:00.390 --> 00:21:05.890
Your eyes saw my substance being yet unformed. You know, when I was just there,

00:21:06.150 --> 00:21:10.030
I'm just themselves coming together, being yet unformed.

00:21:10.370 --> 00:21:14.290
In your book, they were all written. In other words— You're already written.

00:21:14.410 --> 00:21:17.850
You're already written, and God's book—.

00:21:18.577 --> 00:21:23.777
All who, you see, our whole— When as yet, none of them were—I wasn't even here

00:21:23.777 --> 00:21:26.397
formed. My substance wasn't all even put together.

00:21:26.877 --> 00:21:29.897
And I was in the book. But yet, it's written in your book.

00:21:29.997 --> 00:21:33.017
Well, he says in Ephesians, from the foundation of the world,

00:21:33.037 --> 00:21:35.057
we were known. Before the foundation of the world.

00:21:35.357 --> 00:21:39.157
Yeah, exactly. So we are eternal in that, not eternal like God,

00:21:39.277 --> 00:21:41.617
that we have no beginning. We do have a beginning.

00:21:41.817 --> 00:21:46.517
It was with him in his—he conceived us in the concept of making us.

00:21:46.517 --> 00:21:52.657
But we're now, in the practical state, we're given a body when we are born,

00:21:52.797 --> 00:21:54.237
conceived, and come into this world born.

00:21:54.437 --> 00:21:59.697
And so, you know, before that, we were in the Spirit somewhere, but now we're here.

00:22:00.017 --> 00:22:04.457
We were in the Spirit. We were in God. But now we have our opportunity.

00:22:04.597 --> 00:22:08.217
See, what it is, I believe, is I believe God creates everything.

00:22:08.557 --> 00:22:14.177
And God gives everything an opportunity to reject what God has called them to

00:22:14.177 --> 00:22:18.757
do or be. For example, the angels rejected Lucifer, rejected his call to be

00:22:18.757 --> 00:22:22.777
the anointed cherub, the covering cherub. He didn't want that job.

00:22:22.897 --> 00:22:25.617
He didn't want to be an angel. He wanted to be God.

00:22:26.437 --> 00:22:29.977
And many of the angels, they didn't want to be angels. They wanted to be men.

00:22:30.157 --> 00:22:32.217
And so that's why they took the human women and they thought,

00:22:32.297 --> 00:22:36.037
if I can make myself a family, then I'll be human and I'll be man.

00:22:36.157 --> 00:22:41.837
Because they saw that mankind made in the image of God was the highest of all the creation.

00:22:42.257 --> 00:22:45.397
And so that they would end up as angels being babysitters to us,

00:22:45.457 --> 00:22:46.117
and they didn't want to do that.

00:22:46.217 --> 00:22:51.497
But the thing is, we do—so Satan always comes with the same—,

00:22:52.047 --> 00:22:56.207
words to every human being, you're not good enough. You're not worth it.

00:22:57.727 --> 00:23:01.987
Prove yourself. Yeah. But the thing is, what he's really saying is,

00:23:02.167 --> 00:23:08.387
God is not happy with you unless you prove yourself, unless you're perfect, unless you perform.

00:23:08.587 --> 00:23:12.067
You do something different. So he's always twisting our concept of God to be

00:23:12.067 --> 00:23:14.367
one of God is just waiting to see how you're going to do.

00:23:14.467 --> 00:23:18.607
Got the big baseball bat, and he's going to judge you.

00:23:18.727 --> 00:23:22.367
He's going to test you. And truly, it is not God testing us.

00:23:22.447 --> 00:23:25.547
If you look at the last words in the book of Job, God is saying basically to

00:23:25.547 --> 00:23:27.707
Job, pray for your friends because I didn't start this.

00:23:28.387 --> 00:23:30.947
I didn't, you know, they haven't spoke that, which is right concerning me,

00:23:31.027 --> 00:23:33.267
because they were saying God was the reason why Job was suffering.

00:23:33.567 --> 00:23:38.627
God was not the reason. Satan was the reason. And we see the same actual things going on today.

00:23:38.707 --> 00:23:43.287
That's why God gave us the book of Job, to understand that God didn't do this.

00:23:43.427 --> 00:23:48.587
But yet, Satan twists it around. So if my love, my work, my everything is conditional,

00:23:48.587 --> 00:23:54.087
then God must be a conditional, you know, being, and so therefore we have to

00:23:54.087 --> 00:23:56.467
perform to meet the conditions.

00:23:56.687 --> 00:24:02.947
And this crisis causes panic, makes you feel alone, makes you feel abandoned,

00:24:03.147 --> 00:24:05.447
makes you feel worthless, makes you feel like giving up.

00:24:05.667 --> 00:24:11.147
And, you know, and because we see such cheap, you know, life is worth so little,

00:24:11.607 --> 00:24:14.507
we still, the way bloodshed is just so common.

00:24:14.967 --> 00:24:19.527
I mean, you know, The devil needs blood to keep his machinery running,

00:24:19.547 --> 00:24:24.107
and that's why he calls for death, and he calls for blood, and he calls for all these things.

00:24:24.207 --> 00:24:27.907
You say, well, where's God in all of this? Where was God when those hundred

00:24:27.907 --> 00:24:32.667
people were drowned in that terrible rapid flood, that flash flood?

00:24:33.207 --> 00:24:39.327
Where was God when the flood was coming the first time in the deluge?

00:24:39.527 --> 00:24:41.227
God is seated on the throne.

00:24:41.507 --> 00:24:44.567
God is not, you know, panicky or freaked out.

00:24:44.967 --> 00:24:48.727
God's not standing and saying, oh, what's going on down there? God has,

00:24:49.248 --> 00:24:53.268
called for order. God is called for peace. God will bring things into their

00:24:53.268 --> 00:24:57.808
right place, and he wants you to know your right place, that you are his,

00:24:58.028 --> 00:24:59.708
always his. Doesn't matter.

00:24:59.968 --> 00:25:03.708
You know, if you have done something bad, then you need to do this.

00:25:03.908 --> 00:25:08.568
You need to say, God, I did something. I believed a lie. I bit the hook.

00:25:08.788 --> 00:25:13.148
I bought into the trick, and I ask you to forgive me for believing the lie.

00:25:13.408 --> 00:25:18.348
You ask God to forgive you for not being perfect, for not being all-knowing,

00:25:18.348 --> 00:25:23.208
for not being all whatever, because that's not what you're called to be.

00:25:23.348 --> 00:25:25.648
You're called to be his son or daughter and to follow Jesus.

00:25:25.828 --> 00:25:29.408
So ask God. Now, there's many of you out there that do need to forgive yourself

00:25:29.408 --> 00:25:32.108
for believing the lie that I'm not good. I'm not good enough. It doesn't matter.

00:25:32.248 --> 00:25:34.828
I'll throw away my life. I don't count you.

00:25:35.228 --> 00:25:37.528
And then the other side of that is people have gotten to the place where they

00:25:37.528 --> 00:25:39.008
believe that they are the evil they hate.

00:25:39.568 --> 00:25:43.348
Because if I hate when we're built by God to hate evil. So if I see myself doing

00:25:43.348 --> 00:25:45.888
evil, then the devil says, well, look at you, you're bad.

00:25:46.168 --> 00:25:49.588
And so ultimately, when we get to that place where we're feeling so ultimately

00:25:49.588 --> 00:25:52.428
bad and evil, the only solution is to kill yourself.

00:25:52.628 --> 00:25:55.868
If I'm the evil I hate, then to get rid of the evil I hate, I've got to get rid of myself.

00:25:56.068 --> 00:26:00.148
And that's why a lot of people are desperate and cornered and committing suicide

00:26:00.148 --> 00:26:02.408
because they're entrapped and they don't know that they're worth anything.

00:26:02.588 --> 00:26:06.108
And other people around them don't know how to help them or don't even know

00:26:06.108 --> 00:26:08.468
they need to help them or don't see them needing help. Yeah,

00:26:08.588 --> 00:26:10.068
and they feel like there's no hope.

00:26:10.568 --> 00:26:14.048
There's just no hope for me. What's the use? Everything is so crazy.

00:26:14.568 --> 00:26:19.328
And in this world, you know, you look around in this world, all the crazy evil

00:26:19.328 --> 00:26:20.568
things that are going on.

00:26:21.588 --> 00:26:24.168
But the Bible says, think and what sort of things are purely honest,

00:26:24.308 --> 00:26:26.588
just and have good reports. So don't listen to too much of the news.

00:26:26.908 --> 00:26:29.628
Right. And spend more time in the Word of God.

00:26:29.788 --> 00:26:35.768
And just even looking at the physical factor of our bodies, you know,

00:26:35.888 --> 00:26:38.188
we're body, soul, and spirit.

00:26:38.508 --> 00:26:41.648
And David, he said, I'm fearfully and wonderfully made.

00:26:41.648 --> 00:26:46.848
So, the thing is, too, and it does not bring us into a place of pride.

00:26:46.848 --> 00:26:52.068
It gives us to a place of humility when we realize how great God is and how

00:26:52.068 --> 00:26:55.388
He has designed us and how valuable that we are.

00:26:55.648 --> 00:26:59.348
Now, it's interesting. He says here, remember in Psalm 139, he says,

00:26:59.488 --> 00:27:04.968
verse 17, How precious also are your God's thoughts towards me.

00:27:05.268 --> 00:27:07.988
Oh, God. So, God, how about that?

00:27:08.388 --> 00:27:11.208
He's thinking about you. He's loving you, looking at you, longing.

00:27:11.208 --> 00:27:14.348
You're suffering from cancer, you're suffering from a divorce,

00:27:14.528 --> 00:27:18.328
you're suffering from children abandoning you or going wayward, whatever.

00:27:18.628 --> 00:27:21.588
You're suffering, and yet God looks at you and sees you as precious.

00:27:21.768 --> 00:27:26.008
He sees them as precious. And I believe God is not willing that any should perish, although...

00:27:26.688 --> 00:27:31.448
People do perish. God does not get everything he wants, so don't even think that.

00:27:32.148 --> 00:27:36.748
You and I mess up God's perfect will for us constantly by acting in our free

00:27:36.748 --> 00:27:41.908
will or allowing Satan to manifest and act through us, and we don't even know it's the devil.

00:27:42.088 --> 00:27:46.888
We think all the bad behavior, all of the freakouts, all of the breakdowns,

00:27:46.948 --> 00:27:50.048
all of the profanity, everything that comes out of our mouth is us.

00:27:50.308 --> 00:27:54.848
It is not us, but it looks like us because it's coming through our body systems,

00:27:54.848 --> 00:28:00.148
but it's really the enemy of manifesting as us to ourselves to believe that I am the evil.

00:28:00.308 --> 00:28:02.888
I hate to get me to believe that or to get other people to believe,

00:28:03.068 --> 00:28:06.488
you know, I can't work with you. You're irreconcilable. We got to depart and

00:28:06.488 --> 00:28:08.228
break up this relationship, whatever.

00:28:08.708 --> 00:28:12.968
But the thing is, if we would understand that this is a very subtle trick and

00:28:12.968 --> 00:28:13.848
you say, well, you know what?

00:28:13.928 --> 00:28:16.868
That doesn't make any sense. I'm supposed to take responsibility for my behavior.

00:28:17.188 --> 00:28:20.368
Well, you take responsibility for your behavior by number one,

00:28:20.488 --> 00:28:24.548
humbling yourself and confessing the fact that this is not your behavior,

00:28:24.808 --> 00:28:26.588
that this is not who you were created to be.

00:28:26.688 --> 00:28:29.548
This is not how you're supposed to behave, and you don't want to behave like this.

00:28:29.788 --> 00:28:33.048
And so whoever in there is behaving, as Paul said, if I'm doing what I do not

00:28:33.048 --> 00:28:36.488
want to do, it's not me doing it. It is the sin that dwells in me.

00:28:36.768 --> 00:28:41.388
And so you take responsibility by kicking out these invaders and saying, you know what?

00:28:41.708 --> 00:28:44.668
You spirit of rage, you spirit of fear, you spirit of panic,

00:28:44.828 --> 00:28:48.308
you spirit of hatred of self, self-hatred, self-rejection, get out of here,

00:28:48.368 --> 00:28:49.968
and then forgive yourself.

00:28:50.508 --> 00:28:53.428
Let God be the judge of you. Paul says, I don't even judge myself.

00:28:53.588 --> 00:28:58.428
So, we're worth and we're invaluable, we're precious, but Satan can diminish

00:28:58.428 --> 00:29:00.848
my value to the point where I want to get rid of myself.

00:29:01.068 --> 00:29:06.868
And Paul says that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit. We're the dwelling, our bodies.

00:29:07.757 --> 00:29:14.417
Our holy, when we're trusting Jesus, our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit,

00:29:14.637 --> 00:29:15.917
dwelling place of the Holy Spirit.

00:29:16.097 --> 00:29:20.037
And just even going back to what David said about fearfully and wonderfully

00:29:20.037 --> 00:29:24.877
made, you know, a lot of stuff he didn't even know because, you know,

00:29:24.977 --> 00:29:27.517
there wasn't the medical. DNA, yeah, they didn't know anything.

00:29:27.837 --> 00:29:33.497
About DNA and all the things that we know now medically and physically about our bodies.

00:29:33.497 --> 00:29:39.297
You know, scientists tell us that we have, in our physical bodies,

00:29:39.297 --> 00:29:43.157
we have about 60,000 miles of blood cells.

00:29:43.557 --> 00:29:48.717
Not blood cells, blood vessels. That's a lot. 60,000 miles.

00:29:49.517 --> 00:29:54.777
All packed into this little 5'6", 125-pound body.

00:29:55.037 --> 00:30:03.237
And we have about 46 miles of nerves in our bodies, in the average human body.

00:30:03.237 --> 00:30:06.317
So no wonder things go wrong. We can get neurotic. We can get panicky.

00:30:06.797 --> 00:30:10.377
You know, interruptions, disruptions, breakdowns. Right.

00:30:11.257 --> 00:30:17.237
Static interference. And our heart beats an average of 100,000 times a day.

00:30:17.737 --> 00:30:20.217
Oh, great. That's awesome. No wonder I'm tired.

00:30:22.077 --> 00:30:27.937
No, really, we're not. You see, all of these things, all they do is point to the amazing people.

00:30:29.609 --> 00:30:34.109
Incomprehensible power, goodness, love of God, that God is the God of the impossible.

00:30:34.389 --> 00:30:38.369
So whatever little problem, big problem, terrifying thing, situation,

00:30:38.569 --> 00:30:42.149
brokenhearted, loss of life, everything that you're enduring and going through

00:30:42.149 --> 00:30:44.389
right now, whether it's good or bad, you know what?

00:30:44.669 --> 00:30:48.909
God is in control. God can fix it. God can get you through it.

00:30:49.049 --> 00:30:50.809
God will get you through it because he loves you.

00:30:51.009 --> 00:30:55.109
And this time down here on this planet is temporary, and that is, Thank you, Jesus.

00:30:55.369 --> 00:30:59.409
We don't have to be here for 120 years like the old patriarchs had to be.

00:30:59.849 --> 00:31:04.509
You know, we're here. This is a short duration. This is a time of choosing and

00:31:04.509 --> 00:31:07.489
testing. Whose report are you going to believe? Bottom line, this is the bottom line.

00:31:07.949 --> 00:31:10.929
Okay, do you want to serve me? Do you want to love me? Now, when God says serve

00:31:10.929 --> 00:31:15.009
me, he doesn't mean serve me like, okay, we're his slaves.

00:31:15.229 --> 00:31:18.689
We're his sons and daughters. His slaves were his under-shepherds.

00:31:18.809 --> 00:31:19.449
We're all kinds of things.

00:31:19.609 --> 00:31:22.769
We have many roles to play. But when God wants us to serve him,

00:31:22.869 --> 00:31:26.129
he's saying, what you're doing is you're choosing to follow the truth,

00:31:26.189 --> 00:31:30.089
and then you're immune to the devil's lies and his enslaving you.

00:31:30.269 --> 00:31:35.989
So whose report, who do you choose to serve? What matters about us is what we're worth to God.

00:31:36.169 --> 00:31:38.569
How valuable are we to God?

00:31:38.849 --> 00:31:45.869
And he says in 1 Peter 1, verses 18 and 19, knowing that you are not redeemed,

00:31:45.949 --> 00:31:50.589
you're not set free by the price that was paid with corruptible things like silver or gold.

00:31:50.689 --> 00:31:57.049
So it wasn't, you know, our worth is not determined by money or cryptocurrency or whatever.

00:31:57.309 --> 00:32:00.689
From your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers.

00:32:00.849 --> 00:32:05.149
But you were redeemed, you were set free through the price that was paid.

00:32:05.649 --> 00:32:13.049
The price that was paid for us is the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb

00:32:13.049 --> 00:32:18.189
without blemish or without spot. He was the lamb of God who took away the sins

00:32:18.189 --> 00:32:19.569
of the world. He was the last lamb.

00:32:20.169 --> 00:32:25.549
Jesus was the last. So we're worth. God assigned value to us.

00:32:25.569 --> 00:32:28.689
If you think of, okay, what am I worth?

00:32:30.249 --> 00:32:34.709
To God. What are you worth to God, the creator of the universe?

00:32:35.789 --> 00:32:40.849
We're worth the very lifeblood of his only begotten son. That's right.

00:32:40.909 --> 00:32:43.989
And the reason he had to die is because there's no other way to do this.

00:32:44.109 --> 00:32:48.469
When Satan knew that he had got us to sin, he had gotten everybody.

00:32:48.469 --> 00:32:53.109
We had all been captured in the net, and there was no one left to save us,

00:32:53.149 --> 00:32:56.409
and God said, I will do it for you. I will do it in your place.

00:32:56.609 --> 00:33:00.109
And that's exactly what he did. I don't think Satan ever saw that coming,

00:33:00.149 --> 00:33:02.429
because he thought, I've got them.

00:33:02.609 --> 00:33:05.449
They're mine. They sin the soul that sins shall die. That's the word of God,

00:33:05.529 --> 00:33:07.989
and it's good, and so I'm going to hold God to it.

00:33:08.469 --> 00:33:12.709
But God says, the soul that sins shall die, but the soul that repents, who's up,

00:33:13.213 --> 00:33:16.893
Whosoever believes and accepts that free gift of salvation. And again,

00:33:17.073 --> 00:33:21.633
going back to understanding the gospel for just a second, the gospel is not

00:33:21.633 --> 00:33:22.813
about getting rid of your sin.

00:33:23.133 --> 00:33:27.413
The gospel is what did you do with the Son of God. And here's the final blessing

00:33:27.413 --> 00:33:30.793
in Numbers chapter 6, how God loves us so much.

00:33:30.973 --> 00:33:36.773
If you would know how much you are loved by God and would stay on that rock,

00:33:36.913 --> 00:33:41.573
solid rock, and Jesus Christ is your righteousness and you just live and abide

00:33:41.573 --> 00:33:49.653
there, your life would be way more powerful and peaceful and productive in God.

00:33:49.793 --> 00:33:52.713
Even though the devil is going to try to shoot arrows at you.

00:33:53.233 --> 00:33:56.813
Missiles over you, and attack you, God is faithful to keep us.

00:33:56.873 --> 00:33:58.013
He is, because he said he would.

00:33:58.533 --> 00:34:02.553
And here he says in Numbers chapter 6, verse 22, And the Lord spoke to Moses,

00:34:02.733 --> 00:34:07.253
saying, Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel.

00:34:07.393 --> 00:34:09.893
Say to them, The Lord bless you and keep you.

00:34:10.093 --> 00:34:13.433
The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.

00:34:13.593 --> 00:34:16.753
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

00:34:17.153 --> 00:34:21.173
So they shall put my name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

00:34:21.313 --> 00:34:23.233
So God is putting his name on

00:34:23.233 --> 00:34:29.053
us, and this is amazing because we are God's representatives. We're God's.

00:34:29.606 --> 00:34:34.246
Handiwork were God's instruments on the earth. We're part of the remnant that

00:34:34.246 --> 00:34:38.226
Jesus Christ is using to be part of his kingdom.

00:34:38.546 --> 00:34:42.786
He's called us to such a time as this. He's called us to allow his spirit to

00:34:42.786 --> 00:34:47.166
move in us because we are worthy, because we're made in his image.

00:34:47.306 --> 00:34:50.166
So, Father God, we thank you.

00:34:50.586 --> 00:34:54.726
Let us know this. Remove the blinders. Remove the blocks. Remove the lies.

00:34:54.886 --> 00:34:58.286
Remove the devil's gate, the gatekeepers who try to keep us from knowing who

00:34:58.286 --> 00:35:02.106
we are. and let us look into the perfect law of liberty, into your word and

00:35:02.106 --> 00:35:05.906
rightly divide it and not to see all of this stuff that Satan wants to point

00:35:05.906 --> 00:35:08.426
out, but let us read the whole thing as it is written.

00:35:08.666 --> 00:35:12.346
Heads and tails of the truth, Father God, and may the love of Jesus Christ right

00:35:12.346 --> 00:35:18.566
now reach into the heart of the one who's been, the heart's been broken, ripped to shreds.

00:35:18.726 --> 00:35:22.386
You're weeping and crying and don't know what you're gonna do next.

00:35:22.546 --> 00:35:24.326
You don't even, you're sort of like paralyzed.

00:35:24.746 --> 00:35:28.226
You don't even know what you're gonna do once you get up off that couch.

00:35:28.226 --> 00:35:30.286
You don't even know you're so shattered.

00:35:30.526 --> 00:35:34.706
And I pray right now today that that person or persons who are in that place

00:35:34.706 --> 00:35:38.106
of paralysis and shattering will be empowered.

00:35:38.526 --> 00:35:42.766
Your spirit would pour into them new life, new hope, new revelation,

00:35:42.986 --> 00:35:47.046
new joy, new strength, and the revelation, the vision of Jesus Christ,

00:35:47.146 --> 00:35:50.126
that they will get up off that place where they've been beaten down,

00:35:50.246 --> 00:35:52.426
and they will stand in having done all. They will stand.

00:35:52.546 --> 00:35:57.266
They will prevail. fail, they will take up the cross that Jesus has set before

00:35:57.266 --> 00:36:01.926
them, and they will be victorious because Jesus Christ is walking with us and

00:36:01.926 --> 00:36:05.446
in us and through us, and He sent His Holy Spirit to live in us. So be encouraged today.

00:36:06.186 --> 00:36:10.326
Rebuke the spirit of discouragement, rebuke, name them, I command the spirit

00:36:10.326 --> 00:36:14.186
of despair, I command the spirit of desolation, I command the spirit of divorce, I command whatever.

00:36:14.346 --> 00:36:18.186
In the name of Jesus Christ, go back to where you belong, go back to the pit,

00:36:18.326 --> 00:36:22.746
and then release the love, the revelation, and the peace, and the grace of God.

00:36:23.226 --> 00:36:27.646
Yeah, that's how we got to do this. Yeah, and then you have a book called Doing

00:36:27.646 --> 00:36:31.886
Relationships God's Way, and isn't there a chapter there about your relationship

00:36:31.886 --> 00:36:33.746
with yourself? Yes, absolutely.

00:36:34.006 --> 00:36:39.446
And there's a little checklist in that chapter, too, about how we form our concept

00:36:39.446 --> 00:36:44.306
of ourselves, and how the things that happen to us are very strategic in making those,

00:36:45.006 --> 00:36:49.446
changing and forming those, just like a little vessel on the potter's wheel.

00:36:49.706 --> 00:36:53.346
You know, that potter has got his hand on that little lump of clay and he's

00:36:53.346 --> 00:36:54.646
shaping it this way and that way.

00:36:54.806 --> 00:37:01.046
And then every little thing that happens is part of what is used to create that vessel.

00:37:01.286 --> 00:37:06.106
And so God is shaping us, creating us in his image and keeping us.

00:37:06.226 --> 00:37:09.766
So again, yes, Doing Relationships God's Way.

00:37:09.766 --> 00:37:14.446
You can get it on Amazon.com or you can get it on our website.

00:37:14.446 --> 00:37:21.246
We also have a series of MP3s on Doing Relationships God's Way as well available

00:37:21.246 --> 00:37:23.206
in the bookstore on liferecovery.com.

00:37:23.826 --> 00:37:27.906
So go forward. Be excited. God is good.

00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:58.961
Music.
