1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks so much for

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast. Twenty twenty four is going to

00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: be an amazing year for you and your family though

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: that we're praying for you, so get ready, keep your

00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: expectations out. It's going to be a great year. Hope

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: you enjoyed today's message. Well, God bless you. It's a

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: joy to come into your homes and if you're ever

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: in our area, please stop by be a part of

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: one of our services. I promise you we'll make you

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: feel right at home. Lotox to start with something funny,

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: and I heard about these two men named Archie and Jack.

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: They had debated their whole life as to whether Jesus

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: was white or whether he was black. Archie was certain

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: he was white. Jack was just as sure he was black.

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: As fate would have it, they both died on the

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: same day. Rushed to the pearly gates, said Saint Peter, please,

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: we've been debating our whole life. Tell Us, is Jesus

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: white or is he black? About that time, Jesus stepped

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: up and said, Buenos dias, say it like you mean it.

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: am I have what it says I have. I can

22
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: do what it says I can do. Today I will

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: want to talk to you today about living guilt free.

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: We all make mistakes and do things we know we shouldn't.

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: It's easy to go around with the heaviness feeling bad

29
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: about ourselves. But living guilty doesn't do anything productive. It

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: doesn't help you to do better. It causes you to

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: struggle more. Guilt drains you emotionally, physically. It will wear

32
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: you out. When we're guilty, we don't pursue dreams. We

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: don't believe to overcome challenges. We get stuck. This is

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: why the enemy works over time in this area. He

35
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: knows guilt will keep you from your destiny. There's nothing

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: he would love anymore than for you to go through

37
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: life against yourself, focused on your failures, feeling unworthy. He's

38
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: called the accuser of the Brethren. He'll remind you of

39
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: everything you've done wrong for the last thirty years before

40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: you get out of bed in the morning. He'll replay

41
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: mistakes that you've made, how you weren't there for your children,

42
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: how you lost your temper, how you gave into the temptation.

43
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: But here's the key, the moment you ask God to

44
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: forgive you, he not only forgave you, but he doesn't

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: remember your sins anymore. That means if someone is bringing

46
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: up negative things from your past, that's not God. That's

47
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: the accuser trying to deceive you into carrying the heavy

48
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: load of guilt. Do yourself a favor, say no thanks.

49
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: I'm not perfect, but I am forgid given. You can't

50
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: drag yesterday's failures into today and live in victory. Let

51
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: it go. God's mercies are fresh every morning. Don't spend

52
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: another minute down on yourself, living in regrets. God has

53
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: forgiven you. Why don't you forgive yourself. God is not

54
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: pushing you down. Why don't you quit pushing yourself down?

55
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: The scripture talks about how God has made you righteous.

56
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: Righteous means holy, blameless, honorable. It doesn't say you're going

57
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: to be righteous one day when you perform better, when

58
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: you get your temper under control. You are righteous right now,

59
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: not because of what you've done, but because of what

60
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: Christ has done, you can't do anything to make you

61
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: more righteous. In fact, the scripture says all of our

62
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: righteousness is as filthy rags, meaning we can never measure

63
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: up on our own. No matter how hard we try,

64
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: how disciplined we are, there will be times that we fail.

65
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: Paul said in Romans, the gift of righteousness is for

66
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: all who will receive it. If you see yourself as unworthy,

67
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: not deserving, you don't measure up. The problem is you're

68
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: not receiving the gift. The accuser will tell you you've made

69
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: too many mistakes, You've fail too many times, You'll never

70
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: get it right. God says you are my holy, righteous, blameless, honorable, anointed,

71
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: amazing child. Who are you going to believe? Are you

72
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: going to let the accuser deceive you into carrying the

73
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: guilt going around against yourself? No, start receiving the gift.

74
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: When those voices remind you of everything you're not. One

75
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: of the best things you can say is I am righteous,

76
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: I am holy, I am blameless, I am honorable. Everything

77
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: in your mind will say no, you're not. You have

78
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: an addiction. You keep giving in to the temptation. You

79
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: made those mistakes But when you declare I am righteous,

80
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: you are announcing to every force that's trying to stop you.

81
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: You're announcing to the accuser, to the guilt, to the heaviness.

82
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: You don't control my life. You don't determine my destiny.

83
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: You can't stop my purpose. The creator of the universe

84
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: made me righteous, He made me holy, He made me blameless.

85
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: What are you doing. You're receiving the gift of righteousness.

86
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: Proverb says, the righteous are as bold as a lion.

87
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: When it comes to righteousness, you have to be bold.

88
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: Your own thoughts will tell you you're not blameless. God

89
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: is not pleased with you. Look what you've done, Look

90
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: at your mistakes. Guilt and condemnation will come knocking at

91
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: the door. And if you're unsure, doubtful, intimidated, guilt will

92
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: take over. This is where you have to be bold.

93
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: I may not feel worthy, but I know God has

94
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: made me worthy. I don't feel righteous, but Father, by faith,

95
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: I receive your gift. I thank you that I am righteous. Well, Joel,

96
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: I'm just an old sinner saved by grace. Now, you

97
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: used to be an old sinner, but when you gave

98
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: your life to Christ, you became a new creation. Now

99
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: you're not an old sinner. You're a son. You're a

100
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: daughter of the most High God. I'm looking at holy people,

101
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: righteous people, blameless people, honorable people. You may have brought

102
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: guilt in here with you today. You might as well

103
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: leave it at your seat. You might have brought heaviness, regrets, unworthiness.

104
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: You can unload all that right now. You can make

105
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: an exchange. If you'll give up your guilt, your regrets,

106
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: your unworthiness, God will give you his righteousness. But sometimes

107
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: it's like we're carrying all these bags with us everywhere

108
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: we go. That weigh us down before we leave the house.

109
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: Let me get my bag of guilt. Let me load

110
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 1: up all the mistakes I've made, everything I did wrong.

111
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: Hang on, I need another bag. Doesn't fit in one bag.

112
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: Let me put my regrets in there. Should have raised

113
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: my children better, should have finished school. Yelled at my

114
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: coworker yesterday. Let me fit that regret in there. I

115
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: lost my temper in traffic last week. God's so upset

116
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: I spoke in tongues to that driver. I need a

117
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: whole new bag for that one. We go through life

118
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: carrying around all these bags. We wonder why we walk

119
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: with a limp. We wonder why life is a struggle

120
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: while we're tired, why we can't accomplish a dream. It's

121
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: because we're carrying things we were never designed to carry.

122
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: You weren't created to live guilty, to have that nagging

123
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: voice always telling you there's something wrong with you. You

124
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: don't deserve to be happy. Those are weights that the

125
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: accuser uses to try to keep you from your destiny.

126
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: If he can't get you off course, he'll at least

127
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: try to weigh you down so you don't go as

128
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: far as you should. The scripture tells us to lay

129
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: aside the weights that can easily beset us. It's easy

130
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: to carry weights. Are you carrying weights of guilt, weights

131
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: of shame, weights of regret? It's time to lay aside

132
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: those weights. It's time to get rid of that baggage.

133
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Most airlines tell us two bags per customer. They have

134
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: a limit. We have a very strict rule around here,

135
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: no bags per customer. You may have brought some, but

136
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: you can leave them where you are. This is a

137
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: new God wants you to go out of here lighter.

138
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: The accuser has held you back long enough. Nothing you've

139
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: done in the past is too much for the mercy

140
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: of God. Now I believe chains are being broken, strong

141
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: holds are coming down. You are redeemed, you are restored,

142
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: You are holy, you are blameless. Shake off the guilt,

143
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: shake off the accusing voices, and receive the gift of righteousness.

144
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: When our children were small, I would take them up

145
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: to the toy store a lot. Didn't have to be

146
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: a special occasion. I just like to buy them things.

147
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: They come on, Jonathan, come on, Alexandra, let's go to

148
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: the toy store. Never once did Jonathan say, no, Dad,

149
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't deserve to go. I didn't clean my room yesterday.

150
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: I threw food at my baby's sister. None of that

151
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: came to mind. He simply said, yes, Dad, I'm ready,

152
00:09:54,600 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: let's go. See. Children know how to receive a gift,

153
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: debating whether or not they deserve it, have they earned it,

154
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: have they been good enough? They just receive it. Like

155
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 1: a child. You have to receive the gift of righteousness.

156
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: Don't start thinking about all you did or didn't do,

157
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: trying to figure out if you really deserve it, if

158
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: you're good enough, you can't earn it. It's a gift.

159
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: Just receive it. See, sometimes we think we have to

160
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: pay God back for our mistakes by living down and discouraged,

161
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: to show him that we're sorry, that we're remorseful. And yes,

162
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: there should be a conviction when we do something wrong.

163
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: I'm not saying just do whatever you want, never feel

164
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: bad about it. My point is, once you ask for forgiveness,

165
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay God back. The price has

166
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: already been paid. But when you live guilty, you're saying,

167
00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: in effect, the sacrifice Christ made wasn't enough. Let me

168
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: add something to it. Let me do my part by

169
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: paying some kind of penalty for this wrong that I've done.

170
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: Living guilty and condemned doesn't bring any honor to God.

171
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: After all, Christ did to pay the price. If you

172
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: want to honor God, get rid of the guilt, quit

173
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: listening to the accusing voices, and move forward with your life.

174
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: Isaiah said, God remembers our sins no more. God is

175
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: an all knowing God. He knows everything that's going to happen, past, present,

176
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: and future. Yet when we ask God to forgive us

177
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: this all powerful, all knowing God, in a sense steps

178
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: out of character and says, I'm going to delete that event.

179
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to keep any record of it. He

180
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: chooses not to remember. If God forgets it, why don't

181
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: you forget it? If God let it go, why don't

182
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: you let it go? I know people that ask God

183
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: to forgive them for the same thing year after year,

184
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: something they did twenty years ago. They don't realize the

185
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: first time. They ask, God not only forgave them, but

186
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't remember it anymore. When you bring it up,

187
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: it's as if God is saying, what are you talking about.

188
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't remember that mistake. I don't remember the failure.

189
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: I don't remember the time you gave in the temptation.

190
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: Quit remembering what God has forgotten. Quit telling him how

191
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: bad you are, how you messed up, how you lost

192
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: your temper. He forgave you way back when you ask

193
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: the first time, All that's doing is making you feel guilty, condemned,

194
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: bad about yourself. Instead of asking for forgiveness for the

195
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: same thing, start receiving God's mercy. Mercy covers our mistakes.

196
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: Mercy gives you what you didn't deserve. You were guilty,

197
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: it was your fault, you deserved judgment, But mercy says

198
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: you're forgiven, You're redeemed you restored. When you're tempted to

199
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: ask for forgiveness for the same thing, just turn it around. Father,

200
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: Thank you for your mercy in my life. This is

201
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: what Jonah had to do. He had just made one

202
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: of the biggest mistakes of his life. God told him

203
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: to go to the city of Nineveh and tell the

204
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: people to repent. Jonah went the other direction and almost

205
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: lost his life. He spent three days in the belly

206
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: of a fish. When that fish finally spit him out

207
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: on dry ground. You would think God would say, Jonah,

208
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: you need to sit on the sidelines and think about

209
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: your mistake. You need to pay some kind of penalty

210
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: for that wrong. Maybe one day I'll use you again.

211
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: Maybe one day I'll give you another chance. No, as

212
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: soon as Jonah was on dry ground, as soon as

213
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: he was safe, the scripture says, the word of the

214
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, go to

215
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: Nineveh and tell them to repent. God was saying, in effect, Jonah,

216
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: you made a mistake. You got off course, but you repented,

217
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: you asked for forgiveness. Now get back in the game.

218
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to sit around defeated a week, a month,

219
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: a year, I've forgiven you. Now do what I'm asking

220
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: you to do. A lot of times we categorize our mistakes.

221
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: If it's something small, we think we have to pay

222
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: God back by living down and discourage for a day

223
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: or two. If it's something medium, maybe a week or two.

224
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: But if it's something big, like Jonah, we really messed up,

225
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: brought the trouble on ourselves. We think we have to

226
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: give up our joy, our peace, our dreams for at

227
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: least a year or two. After all, it was our fault.

228
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: Like with Jonah, God doesn't say, yeah, go sit on

229
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: the sidelines. Man, you blew it. You caused me a

230
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: lot of trouble. I'm not going to have anything to

231
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: do with you for years. That's not the way God

232
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: is now. The accuser will work over time, telling you

233
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: God's not going to bless you. You can't expect his favor,

234
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: You can't expect to accomplish dreams. You owe God a

235
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: whole lot for that mistake. No, the price has been paid.

236
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: Don't believe those lies. I'm sure Jonah thought God. Did

237
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: I hear you right? You mean you still want me

238
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: to go to Nineveh and tell them to repent. I

239
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: just repented myself. I just got out of the fish.

240
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: Shouldn't I sit on the sidelines for a month and

241
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: show you that I'm sorry. Shouldn't I sit out at

242
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: least a year and prove to you that I'll do

243
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: what's right? God said, no, Jonah, I have something for

244
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: you to do right now. I have an assignment for you.

245
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: You but as long as you're guilty and condemned, you

246
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: are of no use to me. Shake that off and

247
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: go to Nineveh in the same way. God can't use

248
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: you in the way he wants. When you live guilty,

249
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: feeling condemned, down on yourself, we're not a good witness.

250
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: We don't pursue dreams. We don't take steps of faith.

251
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: God needs you confident, secure, feeling good about yourself. He

252
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: has an assignment for you. Can you imagine when Jonah

253
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: stood up in front of the whole city of Nineveh

254
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: and told them to repent. Every voice whispered in his ear. Jonah,

255
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: you're a hypocrite. You just repented yesterday. You know better

256
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: than these people. You have no right to be up here.

257
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: Jonah had to do what we all must do. He

258
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: ignored the accusing voices. He shook off the guilt and

259
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: received the gift of righteousness. God was going to destroy

260
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: the city of Nineveh, but because Jonah asked them to repent,

261
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: because he didn't sit on the sidelines trying to pay

262
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: God back for his mistake, the whole city repented. God

263
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: in his mercy, changed his mind and spared their lives.

264
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: Are you letting a mistake you made or some way

265
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: you failed convince you that God won't have anything to

266
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: do with you right now. Maybe one day he'll use you,

267
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: Maybe one day he'll help you accomplish a dream. No,

268
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: God is saying to you what he said to Jonah.

269
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: Get back in the game. I have something for you

270
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: to do right now. That mistake didn't stop your destiny.

271
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: You don't have to sit on the sidelines of life.

272
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: Start moving forward. Sometimes with little children, when they're not

273
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: behaving properly, the mother will give them a time out.

274
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: They have to sit by themselves for a few minutes,

275
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: not play, not have any fun. We think, when we

276
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: make mistakes, surely God must give us a timeout depending

277
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: on how bad it was. That's how long we have

278
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: to sit out. Jonah, that was a big mistake. You

279
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: caused me a lot of trouble. That's a five year timeout.

280
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: I'll see you wigh down the road. You didn't do

281
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: what Jonah did, but you lost your temper. That's a

282
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: three week time out. Feel guilty, condemned. He gave into

283
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: the temptation again. That's the fourth time in one month.

284
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: That's a one year timeout. Like with Jonah, God doesn't

285
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: have any timeouts. He corrects us. He gets us on

286
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: the right course and says move forward. Now here's where

287
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: you have to be bold, because those thoughts will tell

288
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: you you knew the right thing and you did the

289
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: wrong thing. God's not going to bless you. Just say

290
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: no thanks. I've asked for forgiveness, I've received God's mercy.

291
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going to live condemned down on myself, going

292
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: to keep moving forward. I know I have a destiny

293
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: to fulfill. In the scripture, Samson made a lot of mistakes.

294
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: His birth was predicted by the prophets. An angel told

295
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: his mother that she would have a son. He would

296
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: be a deliverer and do great things. And Samson started

297
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: off good. He had supernatural strength. He couldn't be defeated

298
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: by his enemies. But he let his guard down. He

299
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: started compromising one thing led to another. This once powerful,

300
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: influential man ended up captured by his enemies. They gouged

301
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: out his eyes, They put him in prison. He spent

302
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: his days grinding at the mill. I'm sure the accuser

303
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: said to him, Boy, Samson, you blew it big time.

304
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: Even the angel said you would do something great. But

305
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: look at you. You're a slave. You're in chains, you're

306
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: working like an animal. Feel guilty. You would think with

307
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: all of his poor choices, God would be done with him.

308
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: After all. Samson knew better. It was his fault. But

309
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: God never gives up on us. That mistake doesn't have

310
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: to cancel your destiny. Don't believe those lies that you've

311
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: gone too far off course. You've made too many mistakes.

312
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: One day, Sampson's captors were having a big reception in

313
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: their temple, several thousand people there. They brought Sampson out

314
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: to make fun of him. As he was standing there,

315
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: being mocked and ridiculed, he asked a young boy to

316
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 1: place his hands on the big columns that held up

317
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: the temple. The scripture says the spirit of the Lord

318
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: came on Samson one more time. God gave him his

319
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: strength back. He was able to push over the columns.

320
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: The whole building collapsed. Samson defeated more enemies in his

321
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: day death than he did in all of his lifetime.

322
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: You may have made mistakes. The accuser's telling you you're

323
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: all washed up nor life with Samson. God has a

324
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: one more time for you. You have not seen your

325
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: greatest victories. You have not sung your best song, you

326
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: have not written your best book, you have not played

327
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: your best play. You wouldn't be alive unless God had

328
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: something amazing in front of you. Now, the question is

329
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: will you get back in the game. Will you get

330
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: your fire back, your passion back, your dreams back. Life

331
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: is too short to go through it against yourself. You

332
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: may have made mistakes, we all have. God is saying

333
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: you're forgiven. Since He forgives you, why don't you forgive yourself.

334
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: As long as you're beating yourself up, reliving failures, dwelling

335
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: on disappointments, that's going to keep you from your one

336
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: more time. Shake that off. This is a new day.

337
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: It's time to say goodbye to guilt, goodbye to condemnation,

338
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: goodbye to heaviness. Romans eight says there is no condemnation

339
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: to those that are in Christ. Jesus, here's the key

340
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.

341
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: When you make a mistake, if you're in the flesh,

342
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: you beat yourself up, you feel unworthy. You try to

343
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: pay God back by living down and discourage. When you

344
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: do that, you'll feel guilty, you'll feel condemned. But when

345
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: you walk in the spirit, you say, yes, I made

346
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: a mistake. It was my fault, but I ask God

347
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: for forgiveness. I know he not only forgave me, but

348
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't remember it. So I'm not going to sit

349
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: around beating myself up. I'm saying goodbye to guilt. I'm

350
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: saying idios to condemnation. I'm dismissing the accusing voices. I'm

351
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: getting ready for my one more time. That's when there's

352
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: no condemnation, when you don't walla around in defeat, when

353
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: you don't believe the accuser's lies. You may have made mistakes,

354
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: like Sampson, you got off course, but that is not

355
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 1: how your story ends. If you'll shake off the guilt,

356
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: God has a one more time come in your way.

357
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: He has something bigger, more rewarding than you've ever imagined.

358
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: Now I've learned just because you feel guilty doesn't mean

359
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: you are guilty. You can't go by your feelings. Feelings

360
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: don't always tell us the truth. I may not feel forgiven,

361
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: but I know I am forgiven. I may not feel holy.

362
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't perform perfectly all the time, but I know

363
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: I am holy, I am righteous, I am blameless, I

364
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: am honorable. Well, Joe, how can you say that? Because

365
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: you have received the gift of righteousness. The Scripture tells

366
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: us to resist the enemy. Resist means to not agree

367
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: with what he's telling you. When you hear him whisper,

368
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: you're all washed up. You've failed too many times, You've

369
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 1: made too many mistakes. The way you resist him is

370
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: by saying no thanks. I know my best days are

371
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: still in front of me. I know God's mercy is

372
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: bigger than any mistake. Don't assist him. Resist him. He'll

373
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: tell you you don't deserve to be blessed. Look what

374
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: you've done. Instead of assisting him. Yeah, you're right, what

375
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: was I thinking? Resist him? I am the righteousness of God,

376
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: I am forgiven, I am redeemed. Well, you failed, you

377
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: blew it. You should have done better. He always talks

378
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: to you about your past, talk to him about your future.

379
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: God's plans for me are for good, the path of

380
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: the righteous. My path keeps getting brighter and brighter. I

381
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: know one more time is coming my way. Until then,

382
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: I'm going to live guilt for We have these chips

383
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: at home that I like to eat. On the bag,

384
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: there's a sticker that says gluten free, means they don't

385
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: have any gluten. You need to have an imaginary sticker

386
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: on you that says guilt free, condemnation free, Heaven is free.

387
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: When the accuser tries to dump that load of guilt

388
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: on you, just show him your sign. Sorry, I'm guilt free.

389
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: That's not acceptable here. When you came in this building today,

390
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: you may not realize it, but you entered a guilt

391
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: free zone. You might as well leave it outside. This

392
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: is a righteous place, a holy place, an honorable place,

393
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: a healing place, a hope filled place, a one more

394
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: time place. Are you carrying something that's weighing you down today?

395
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: Are you assisting the accuser by believing his lies? It's

396
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: time to start resisting him. Believe what God says about it.

397
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: We've all made mistakes, but remember you don't have to

398
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: pay God back. The price has already been paid. I'm

399
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: asking you to receive his forgiveness, receive his mercy. You

400
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: have enough against you in life as it is. Don't

401
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: be against yourself. If you'll do this, I believe and

402
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: declare weights of condemnation are lifting off of you. Right now.

403
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: You're going to live guilt free, confident, secure, holy, blameless, righteous, honorable.

404
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, if you receive it, can you say

405
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: him in today? I'd like to give you an opportunity

406
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you

407
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of

408
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: my sins, Come into my heart. I make you my

409
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: Lord in Savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, we

410
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: believe you got born again. Get in a good Bible

411
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: based church. Keep God first place. It's January. Time to

412
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: renew my faith. It's January. It's time to start a

00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: new season. It's January. There is no better time than
