00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: blessing and share it with a friend.

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: your life.

7
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: Hey man, I know all heaven is cheering us on.

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: You may be seated. It is so good to be

9
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: in the house of the Lord. Thank you for being

10
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: here today. God has made us worthy through Jesus Christ,

11
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: our Lord.

12
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 3: See, we don't have to.

13
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: Find our worth in anything but Jesus Christ. See that's

14
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: where we need to place our identity. Our value is

15
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: in Jesus Christ, because that's an eternal value. We can't

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: place our value in temporary things. We have to place

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: our value in the eternal things. See Jesus overcame so

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: that we could overcome. See he's the forerunner. He made away,

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: so we have to follow his lead. He knows who

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: he is and everything he was created to be. He

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: now sits at the right hand of the Father. See

22
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: there is something that we can identify with. There's so

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: many things in this world that are trying to steal

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: our identity or we're trying to put our identity in

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: other things. Maybe you know a celebrity that you want

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: do you want to be like them, or you want

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: to see what they're doing, you want to do what

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 2: they're doing. But I'll tell you the greatest celebrity there

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: is is Jesus Christ. And the enemy knows that we

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 2: have value. In Jesus Christ. He knows what he's up against.

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: He knows that he has temporary solutions on this earth.

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: He is not eternal. His days are coming to an end.

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: He only has a limited amount of time, and he's

34
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: on that time limit, working over time to try to

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: get us off course. But see, he has no place

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: in our life. He'll never stop us. He may slow

37
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: us down, but he's never going to stop us because

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: we are marked with a purpose and a destiny in

39
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. That's the good news today. That is the

40
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: good news today. But he does know this, and so

41
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: he's always trying to get us off course. And I

42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: think one of the greatest temptations that he uses is

43
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: to place a counterfeit on our value. He tries to

44
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: decrease our value and our worth because see, he knows

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: if he can tear down our value and our worth

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: that it will deteriorate our purpose. See think about this

47
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: just a minute. If you have something and you tear

48
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: it down and it has no value, you really have

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: no purpose for it. Think about when you clean out

50
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: your closet. Well, I don't like this anymore. I guess

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: I can just give it away. It has no purpose.

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: You begin to lose your purpose. And see, if you

53
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: can lose your purpose, you won't shine brightly on this earth.

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: So I just want to encourage every one of us.

55
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: We don't have to look for our identity. We can

56
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: find it in Jesus Christ. We can find our worth

57
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: in him. It's an easy answer, but we have to

58
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: take time to feed on the word of God. We

59
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: have to take time to feed on the Creator and

60
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: let him build up our spirit. You see, we can't

61
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: find our strength in our possessions in this outer world.

62
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: We have to find our strength in our eternal world,

63
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: in our inner world. See Jesus. In Matthew Fourth tells

64
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: us that when he was just baptized, he came up

65
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: from the Jordan River, a loud voice from God boomed

66
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: from heaven. A dove landed on him to represent the

67
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: power of the Holy Spirit, and God said, this is

68
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: my son in whom I am well pleased. He was

69
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: anointed that day with power and might. He was the

70
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: son of God, and the whole knew it. He went

71
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: into a fast a deeper relationship with his father. The

72
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: Bible says he fasted for forty days and forty nights.

73
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: He sought the father's will. He got to know the Father. Now,

74
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: I've never fasted for forty days and forty nights, have you.

75
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: I have fasted between meals, but never for forty days

76
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: or forty nights. So you know, he was hungry. He

77
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: had a physical need. He was very, very hungry, and

78
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: the Bible says that the spirit of God led him

79
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: into the wilderness to be tempted by the enemy. He

80
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: had a physical need, and guess what, the enemy tried

81
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: to move in on that knee. So he offered him

82
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: a temporary solution. He said this, if you are the

83
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: son of God, if you are the right there, right there,

84
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: he's questioning who he is. He's also trying to find

85
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: out who he is, and he's also trying to bring

86
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: confusion into the situation, just like he did Eve. You remember,

87
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: he brought confusion into Eve. He said, now, Eve, if

88
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: God loves you so much, why can't you eat of this?

89
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: This is a beautiful fruit. If you can eat from

90
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: any fruit in the garden, why can't you eat from this?

91
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: Does God not love you? See how the enemy comes

92
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: and he tries to work on our insecurities. He tries

93
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: to steal who we are and our identity. If God

94
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: loved you so much, why did you lose that position?

95
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: Why did your husband walk out on you? See? He

96
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: wants to devalue you. He wants you to not have

97
00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: the worth that Jesus Christ came to make you worthy.

98
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: Trying to take you're worth, and you know what, He's

99
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: not going to do it. We might take the bait

100
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: every once in a while, but listen. He may try

101
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: to slow his bound, but he'll never have our life.

102
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: He'll never have our life, he said, if you are

103
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: the son of God, he wanted to play off his insecurity.

104
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: He wanted to see if he even knew who he

105
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: really was. He said, take these stones and turn them

106
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: into bread. Aren't you hungry? He can eat right now.

107
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: But Jesus didn't operate out of a place of insecurity.

108
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: He didn't try to become independent from God. He was

109
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 2: connected to the Father. You know, he could have turned

110
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: those stones into bread. You know he could have, because

111
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: we see later on that he took two lows and

112
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: he multiplied the bread to feed five thousand. See, Jesus

113
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: can do anything. He can turn anything into anything. It

114
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: wasn't what matter if he could, It was a matter

115
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: if he would. Was he gonna take the temporary bait. No,

116
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: he wasn't gonna operate a place of insecurity because he

117
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: was connected to the Father. He says, listen, I do

118
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: what the Father tells me to do. Whatever the Father

119
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: says to I do, And the Father didn't tell me

120
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: to do that. See, this is a temporary pleasure. But

121
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: I am rooted and established in the Father. Is He said,

122
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: inner world that Jesus had going on, wasn't the temporary pleasures.

123
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't the things for the season. It wasn't that

124
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: just fill my belly right now, because he knew, you

125
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: know what, I could eat that right now, But I'm

126
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: gonna be hungry later unless God feeds me, I am

127
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: always gonna be hungry. And that's what the enemy wants

128
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: us to think. That these temporary things can give us

129
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: eternal satisfaction. They cannot. We have to be willing to

130
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: go in and find out who we are, remember who

131
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: we are, and establish our identity and that and that alone. Jesus'

132
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: response to him was, man will not live by bread alone,

133
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth

134
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: of God. He was saying, if God tells me to

135
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: do it, I'll do it. But if you tell me

136
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: to do it, I'm not going to do it because

137
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: I don't respond to you out of insecurity. I know

138
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: who I am, I have worth and value. Hey, this

139
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: is hard because I'm hungry. The easy thing to do

140
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: would be to turn the stone into bread. That would

141
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: be easy, that would be quick. How many of you

142
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: know sometimes the easy way out is the quickest way out,

143
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: but it doesn't always work for us. Sometimes we take

144
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: that easy way out and we realized it was really

145
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: the long road hoe. But if we'll just sit back

146
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: and we say, who is questioning me? Who is the

147
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: one that's trying to bring confusion, Who's the one that's

148
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: making me feel insecure? Like I have to respond, Like

149
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: I have to do this on my own, Like there's

150
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: a temptation. And if I'll take the easy way out.

151
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: I'll get out of the situation. But is it God

152
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: telling you to do that? Are you consulting the inner voice,

153
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 2: the inner's world, the inner strength? The Bible says, it's

154
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: the spirit of the man that sustains the man. God

155
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: has got you. Listen, you don't have to make any

156
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: quick decision. God has got you. He will help you,

157
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: He will lead you. See, Jesus was not willing to

158
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: be disconnected to the Father because he knew that if

159
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: he would answer the wrong way, and he responded the

160
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: wrong way, then Satan could say, See, he's not even

161
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: worthy to save the world. And that's what he wants

162
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: to do to us. He wants to make us feel

163
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: unworthy to receive the gift of God, the grace of God,

164
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: our salvation. Look what you did yesterday? How could God

165
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: accept you? How could you take this free gift of grace,

166
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: this unprecedented favor. You're unworthy of it? What is your answer? Hey,

167
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: I am not. I am not the one who's worthy.

168
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: It's not my identity. It's the identity of Jesus Christ

169
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 2: and what he did for me. That's almost too simple,

170
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: isn't it. It's almost too simple. But I want to

171
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: encourage you. Don't diminish your value. Don't diminish what Jesus

172
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: did because he did it for you. He did it

173
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: because he loves you, because he was willing to trade

174
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: places with you. He was willing to say, I'll give

175
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: you my honor and I'll go through it all. See,

176
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: when we realize we can worship the Creator, we do

177
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: not have to worship the creation. The creation will never

178
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: give us eternal satisfaction. Only the Creator can do that.

179
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: Only the Creator. That should let us know we should

180
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: take the time to get the word of God in us.

181
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: Do what you're doing today. Get in church, bill yourself up.

182
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: Remember when you hear those voices of confusion, that accusation,

183
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: that questioning your identity and your worth, that is not

184
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: from God, that is from the enemy. And you have

185
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: the answer. I am the righteousness of God in Christ, Jesus.

186
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: God's got me in the palm of his hand. He's

187
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: not gonna let me fall, He's not gonna let me

188
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 2: go because I am stamped and heaven bound. Amen. Amen,

189
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: we love you so much.

190
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 3: It's a new year. Time to see the impossible become possible.

191
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 3: It's a new year, life setbacks are about to become

192
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: God's setups for new opportunity. It's a new year, cherished

193
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 3: dreams will become unexpected reality.

194
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: The start of the new year is the perfect time

195
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: to reset your focus, release disappointments of the past, and

196
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: get ready for the new things God has in store.
