They had 50 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 5: debated their whole life as to whether Jesus was white 51 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 5: or whether he was black. Archie was certain he was white. 52 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 5: Jack was just as sure he was black. As fate 53 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 5: would have it, they both died on the same day. 54 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 5: Rushed to the pearly gates, said, Saint Peter, please, we've 55 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 5: been debating our whole life. Tell Us, is Jesus white 56 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 5: or is he black? About that time, Jesus stepped up 57 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 5: and said, Buenos dias, say it like you mean it. 58 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 59 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 60 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 61 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 62 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 63 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 64 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about living guilt free. We 65 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 5: all make mistakes and do things we know we shouldn't. 66 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 5: It's easy to go around with the heaviness feeling bad 67 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 5: about ourselves, but living guilty doesn't do anything productive. It 68 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 5: doesn't help you to do better. It causes you to 69 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 5: struggle more. Guilt drains you emotionally. 70 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 3: Physically, it will wear you out. 71 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 5: When we're guilty, we don't pursue dreams, we don't believe 72 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 5: to overcome challenges. 73 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: We get stuck. 74 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 5: This is why the enemy works over time in this area. 75 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 3: He knows guilt will keep you from your destiny. 76 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 5: There's nothing he would love anymore than for you to 77 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 5: go through life against yourself, focused on your failures, feeling unworthy. 78 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 5: He's called the accuser of the brethren. He'll remind you 79 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 5: of everything you've done wrong for the last thirty years 80 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 5: before you get out of bed in the morning. He'll 81 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 5: replay mistakes that you've made, how you weren't there for 82 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 5: your children, how you lost your temper, how you gave 83 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 5: into the temptation. 84 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: But here's the key. 85 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 5: The moment you ask God to forgive you, he not 86 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 5: only forgave you, but he doesn't remember your sins anymore. 87 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 5: That means if someone is bringing up negative things from 88 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 5: your past, that's not God. That's the accuser trying to 89 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 5: deceive you into carrying the heavy. 90 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 3: Load of guilt. 91 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 5: Do yourself a favor, Say no thanks, I'm not perfect, 92 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 5: but I am forgiven. You can't drag yesterday's failures into today. 93 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: And live in victory. Let it go. God's mercies are 94 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: fresh every morning. 95 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 5: Don't spend another minute down on yourself, living in regrets. 96 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 5: God has forgiven you. Why don't you forgive yourself. God 97 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 5: is not pushing you down. Why don't you quit pushing 98 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 5: yourself down? The scripture talks about how God has made 99 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 5: you righteous. Righteous means holy, blameless, honorable. It doesn't say 100 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 5: you're going to be righteous one day when you perform better, 101 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 5: when you get. 102 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 3: Your temper under control. 103 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 5: You are righteous right now because of what you've done, 104 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 5: but because of what Christ is done, you can't do 105 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 5: anything to make you more righteous. In fact, the scripture says, 106 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 5: all of our righteousness is as filthy rags, meaning we 107 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 5: can never measure up on our own. No matter how 108 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 5: hard we try, how disciplined we are, there will be 109 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 5: times that we fail. Paul said in Romans, the gift 110 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 5: of righteousness is for all who will receive it. If 111 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 5: you see yourself as unworthy, not deserving, you don't measure up. 112 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: Is you're not receiving the gift. 113 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 5: The accuser will tell you you've made too many mistakes, you 114 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 5: fail too many times, You'll never get it right. God 115 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 5: says you are my holy, righteous, blameless, honorable, anointed, amazing child. 116 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 3: Who are you going to believe? 117 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 5: Are you going to let the accuser deceive you into 118 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 5: carrying the guilt going around against yourself? 119 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: No, start receiving the gift. 120 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 5: When those voices remind you of everything you're not. One 121 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 5: of the best things you can say is I am righteous, 122 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 5: I am holy, I am blameless, I am honorable. Everything 123 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 5: in your mind will say no, you're not. You have 124 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 5: an addiction. You keep giving in to the temptation. You 125 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 5: made those mistakes. But when you declare I am righteous, 126 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 5: you are announcing to every force that's trying to stop you. 127 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 5: You're announcing to the accuser, to the guilt, to the heaviness. 128 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 5: You don't control my life. You don't determine my destiny. 129 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 5: You can't stop my purpose. The creator of the universe 130 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 5: made me righteous, He made me holy, He made me blameless. 131 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,119 Speaker 3: What are you doing. 132 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 5: You're receiving the gift of righteousness. Proverb says, the righteous 133 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 5: are as bold as a lion. 134 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: When it comes to righteousness. You have to be bold. 135 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 5: Your own thoughts will tell you you're not blameless. God 136 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 5: is not pleased with you. 137 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 3: Look what you've done, Look at your mistakes. 138 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 5: Guilt and condemnation will come knocking at the door. And 139 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 5: if you're unsure, doubtful, intimidated. 140 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 3: Guilt will take over. This is where you have to 141 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: be bold. 142 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 5: I may not feel worthy, but I know God has 143 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 5: made me worthy. I don't feel righteous, but Father, by faith, 144 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 5: I receive your gift. 145 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 3: I thank you that I am righteous. Well, Joel, I'm 146 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: just an. 147 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 5: Old sinner saved by grace. Now you used to be 148 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 5: an old sinner, but when you gave your life to Christ, 149 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 5: you became a new creation. 150 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: Now you're not an old sinner. You're a son. You're 151 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: a daughter of the Most High God. 152 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 5: I'm looking at holy people, righteous people. 153 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: Blameless people, honorable people. 154 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 5: You may have brought guilt in here with you today, 155 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 5: you might as well leave it. 156 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 3: At your seat. 157 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:36,239 Speaker 5: You might have brought heaviness, regrets, unworthiness. You can unload 158 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 5: all that right now. You can make an exchange. If 159 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 5: you'll give up your guilt, your regrets, your unworthiness. 160 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 3: God will give you his righteousness. 161 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 5: Sometimes it's like we're carrying all these bags with us 162 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 5: everywhere we go. That weigh us down before we leave 163 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 5: the house. Let me get my bag of guilt. Let 164 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 5: me load up all the mistake I've made, everything I 165 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 5: did wrong. 166 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 3: Hang on, I need another bag. Doesn't fit in one bag. 167 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 5: Let me put my regrets in there. Should have raised 168 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 5: my children better, should have finished school. Yelled at my 169 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 5: coworker yesterday. Let me fit that regret in there. I 170 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 5: lost my temper in traffic last week. God's so upset 171 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 5: I spoke in tongues to that driver. I need a 172 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 5: whole new bag for that one. We go through life 173 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 5: carrying around all these bags. We wonder why we walk 174 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 5: with a limp. We wonder why life is a struggle 175 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 5: while we're tired, why we can't accomplish a dream. It's 176 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 5: because we're carrying things we were never designed to carry. 177 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 5: You weren't created to live guilty, to have that nagging 178 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 5: voice always telling you there's something. 179 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 3: Wrong with you. You don't deserve to be happy. 180 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 5: Those are weights that the accuser uses to try to 181 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 5: keep you from your destiny. If he can't get you 182 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 5: off course, he'll at least try to weigh you down 183 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 5: so you don't go as far as you should. The 184 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 5: scripture tells us to lay aside the weights that can 185 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 5: easily beset us. It's easy to carry weights. Are you 186 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 5: carrying weights of guilt, weights of shame, weights of regret. 187 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 5: It's time to lay aside those weights. It's time to 188 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 5: get rid of that baggage. Most airlines tell us two 189 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 5: bags per customer. 190 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 3: They have a limit. 191 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 5: We have a very strict rule around here, no bags 192 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 5: per customer. 193 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 3: You may have brought some, but you can leave them 194 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 3: where you are. This is a new day. 195 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 5: God wants you to go out of here lighter. The 196 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 5: accuser has held you back long enough. Nothing you've done 197 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 5: in the past is too much for the mercy of God. 198 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 5: Now I believe chains are being broken. Strong holds are 199 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 5: coming down. You are redeemed, you are restored, You are holy, 200 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 5: you are blameless. Shake off the guilt, shake off the 201 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 5: accusing voices. 202 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 3: And receive the gift of righteousness. 203 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: When our children were small, I would take them up 204 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 5: to the toy store a lot. Didn't have to be 205 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 5: a special occasion. I just like to buy them things. 206 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 5: They come on, Jonathan, come on, Alexandra, let's go to 207 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 5: the toy store. 208 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: Never once did. 209 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 5: Jonathan say no, Dad, I don't deserve to go. I 210 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 5: didn't clean my room yesterday, I threw food at my 211 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 5: baby's sister. None of that came to mind. He simply said, yes, Dad, 212 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 5: I'm ready, let's go. 213 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: See. Children know how to receive a gift. 214 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 5: They don't start debating whether or not they deserve it, 215 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 5: have they earned it, have they been good enough? 216 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 3: They just receive it. 217 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 5: Like a child, you have to receive the gift of righteousness. 218 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 5: Don't start thinking about all you did or didn't do, 219 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 5: trying to figure out if you really deserve it, if 220 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 5: you're good enough, you can't earn it. 221 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: It's a gift. Just receive it. 222 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 5: See, sometimes we think we have to pay God back 223 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 5: for our mistakes by living down and discouraged, to show 224 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 5: him that we're sorry, that we're remorseful. 225 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 3: And yes, there should be a conviction when we do 226 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 3: something wrong. 227 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 5: I'm not saying just do whatever you want, never feel 228 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 5: bad about it. My point is, once you ask for forgiveness, 229 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 5: you don't have to pay God back. The price has 230 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 5: already been paid. 231 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 3: But when you live. 232 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 5: Guilty, you're saying, in effect, the sacrifice Christ made wasn't enough. 233 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: Let me add something to it. 234 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 5: Let me do my part by paying some kind of 235 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 5: penalty for this. 236 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 3: Wrong that I've done. 237 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 5: Living guilty and condemned doesn't bring any honor to God. 238 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 5: After all, Christ did to pay the price. If you 239 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 5: want to honor God, get rid of the guilt, quit 240 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 5: listening to the accusing voices, and move forward with your life. 241 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 5: Isaiah said, God remembers our sins no more. God is 242 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 5: an all knowing God. He knows everything that's going to 243 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 5: happen past, present, and future. Yet when we ask God 244 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 5: to forgive us this all powerful, all knowing God, in 245 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 5: a sense steps out of character and says, I'm going 246 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 5: to delete that event. I'm not going to keep any 247 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 5: record of it. He chooses not to remember. If God 248 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 5: forgets it, why don't you forget it? If God let 249 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 5: it go, why don't you let it go? I know 250 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 5: people that ask God to forgive them for the same 251 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 5: thing year after year, something they did twenty years ago. 252 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 5: They don't realize the first time they ask God not 253 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 5: only forgave them, but he doesn't remember it anymore. When 254 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 5: you bring it up, it's as if God is saying, 255 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 5: what are you talking about? Remember that mistake? I don't 256 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 5: remember the failure I don't remember the time you gave 257 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 5: in the temptation. 258 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: Quit remembering what God has forgotten. 259 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 5: Quit telling him how bad you are and how you 260 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 5: messed up, how you lost your temper. 261 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: He forgave your way back when you ask the first time. 262 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 5: All that's doing is making you feel guilty, condemned, bad 263 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 5: about yourself. Instead of asking for forgiveness for the same thing, 264 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 5: start receiving God's mercy. Mercy covers our mistakes. Mercy gives 265 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 5: you what you didn't deserve. You were guilty, it was 266 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 5: your fault. You deserved judgment. But mercy says you're forgiven, 267 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 5: You're redeemed, you're restored. When you're tempted to ask for 268 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 5: forgiveness for the same thing, just turn it around. Father, 269 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 5: Thank you for your mercy in my life. 270 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 3: This is what Jonah had to do. 271 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 5: He had just made one of the biggest mistakes of 272 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 5: his life. God told him to go to the city 273 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 5: of Nineveh and tell the people to repent. Jonah went 274 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 5: the other direction and almost lost his life. He spent 275 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 5: three days in the belly of a fish. When that 276 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 5: fish finally spit him out on dry ground. You would 277 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 5: think God would say, Jonah, you need to sit on 278 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 5: the sidelines and think about your mistake. You need to 279 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 5: pay some kind of penalty for that wrong. Maybe one 280 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 5: day I'll use you again. Maybe one day I'll give 281 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 5: you another chance. No, as soon as Jonah was on 282 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 5: dry ground, as soon as he was safe, the scripture says, 283 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 5: the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, 284 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 5: go to Nineveh and tell them to repent. God was saying, 285 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 5: in effect, Jonah, you made a mistake. You got off course, 286 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 5: but you repented, you asked for forgiveness. 287 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 3: Now get back in the game. 288 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 5: You don't have to sit around defeated a week, a month, 289 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 5: a year. I've forgiven you. Now do what I'm asking 290 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 5: you to do. A lot of times we categorize our mistakes. 291 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 5: If it's something small, we think we have to pay 292 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 5: God back by living down and discourage for a day 293 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 5: or two. If it's something medium, maybe a week or two. 294 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 5: But if it's something big, like Jonah, we really messed up, 295 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 5: brought the trouble on ourselves. 296 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 3: We have to give up our joy, our peace, our 297 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 3: dreams for at least a year or two. After all, 298 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 3: it was our fault. 299 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 5: Like with Jonah, God doesn't say, yeah, go sit on 300 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 5: the sidelines. 301 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 3: Man, you blew it. 302 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 5: You caused me a lot of trouble. I'm not going 303 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 5: to have anything to do with you for years. That's 304 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 5: not the way God is now. The accuser will work 305 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 5: over time, telling you God's not. 306 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 3: Going to bless you. 307 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 5: You can't expect his favor. You can't expect accomplished dreams. 308 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 5: You owe God a whole lot for that mistake. No, 309 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 5: the price has been paid. Don't believe those lies. 310 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 3: I'm sure, Jonah thought God. Did I hear you right? 311 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 5: You mean you still want me to go to Nineveh 312 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 5: and tell them to repent. I just repented myself. I 313 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 5: just got out of the fish. Shouldn't I sit on 314 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 5: the sidelines for a month and show you that I'm sorry. 315 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 5: Shouldn't I sit out at least a year and prove 316 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 5: to you that I'll do what's right? God said, no, Jonah, 317 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 5: I have something for you to do right now. I 318 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 5: have an assignment for you. But as long as you're 319 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 5: guilty and condemned, you are of no use to me. 320 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 5: Shake that off and go to Nineveh in the same way. 321 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 5: God can't use you in the way he wants When 322 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 5: you live guilty, feeling condemned, down on yourself. 323 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 3: We're not a good witness. We don't pursue dreams, take 324 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 3: steps of faith. 325 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 5: God needs you confident, secure, feeling good about yourself. 326 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 3: He has an assignment for you. 327 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 5: Can you imagine when Jonah stood up in front of 328 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 5: the whole city of Nineveh and told them to repent. 329 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 5: Every voice whispered in his ear. Jonah, you're a hypocrite. 330 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 5: You just repented yesterday. You know better than these people. 331 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 5: You have no right to be up here. 332 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 3: Jonah had to. 333 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 5: Do what we all must do. He ignored the accusing voices. 334 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 5: He shook off the guilt and received the gift of righteousness. 335 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 5: God was going to destroy the city of Nineveh, but 336 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 5: because Jonah asked them to repent, because he didn't sit 337 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 5: on the sidelines trying to pay God back for his mistake, 338 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 5: the whole city repented. God in his mercy, changed his 339 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 5: mind and spared their lives. Are you letting a mistake 340 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 5: you made? Some way you failed? Convince you that God 341 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 5: won't have anything to do with you right now. 342 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 3: Maybe one day he'll use you. 343 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 5: Maybe one day he'll help you accomplish a dream. No, 344 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 5: God is saying to you what he said to Jonah. 345 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 5: Get back in the game. I have something for you 346 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 5: to do right now. That mistake didn't stop your destiny. 347 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 5: You don't have to sit on the sidelines of life. 348 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 5: Start moving forward. Sometimes with little children, when their not 349 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 5: behaving properly, the mother will give them a time out. 350 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 5: They have to sit by themselves for a few minutes, 351 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 5: not play, not have any fun. We think when we 352 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 5: make mistakes, surely God must give us a timeout, depending 353 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 5: on how bad it was. That's how long we have 354 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 5: to sit out. Jonah, that was a big mistake. You 355 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 5: caused me a lot of trouble. That's a five year timeout. 356 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 5: I'll see you way down the road. You didn't do 357 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 5: what Jonah did, but you lost your temper. That's a 358 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 5: three week time out out. Feel guilty, condemned. He gave 359 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 5: into the temptation again. That's the fourth time in one month. 360 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 5: That's a one year timeout. Like with Jonah, God doesn't 361 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 5: have any timeouts. 362 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 3: He corrects us. He gets us on the right course 363 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 3: and says move forward. Now here's where you have to 364 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 3: be bold, because those thoughts will. 365 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 5: Tell you knew the right thing and you did the 366 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 5: wrong thing. 367 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 3: God's not going to bless you. Just say no thanks. 368 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 5: I've asked for forgiveness, I've received God's mercy. I'm not 369 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 5: going to live condemned down on myself. I'm going to 370 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 5: keep moving forward. I know I have a destiny to fulfill. 371 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 5: In the scripture, Samson made a lot of mistakes. His 372 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 5: birth was predicted by the prophets. An angel told his 373 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 5: mother that she would have a son. He would be 374 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 5: a deliverer and do great things. And Samson started off good. 375 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 5: He had soon for natural strength. He couldn't be defeated 376 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 5: by his enemies. But he let his guard down. He 377 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 5: started compromising. One thing led to another. This once powerful, 378 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 5: influential man ended. 379 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 3: Up captured by his enemies. 380 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 5: They gouged out his eyes, They put him in prison. 381 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 5: He spent his days grinding at the mill. I'm sure 382 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 5: the accuser said to him, Boy, Samson, you blew it 383 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 5: big time. Even the angel said you would do something great. 384 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 3: But look at you. 385 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 5: You're a slave, You're in chains, you're working like an animal. 386 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: You should feel guilty. 387 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 5: You would think with all of his poor choices, God 388 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 5: would be done with him after all. 389 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 3: Sampson knew better. It was his fault. But God never 390 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 3: gives up on us. 391 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 5: That mistake doesn't have to cancel your destiny. Don't believe 392 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 5: those lies that you've gone too far off course. 393 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 3: You've made too many mistises. 394 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 5: One day, Sampson's captors were having a big reception in 395 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 5: their temple, several thousand people there. They brought Sampson out 396 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 5: to make fun of him. As he was standing there, 397 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 5: being mocked and ridiculed, he asked a young boy to 398 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 5: place his hands on the big columns that held up 399 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 5: the temple. The scripture says, the spirit of the Lord 400 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 5: came on Samson one more time. God gave him his 401 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 5: strength back. He was able to push over the columns. 402 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 3: The whole building collapsed. 403 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 5: Samson defeated more enemies in his death than he. 404 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 3: Did in all of his lifetime. 405 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 5: You may have made mistakes, the accusers telling you you're 406 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 5: all washed up nor life with Samson. God has a 407 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 5: one more time for you. 408 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 3: You have not seen your greatest victories. 409 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 5: You have not sung your best song, you have not 410 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 5: written your best book, played your best play. You wouldn't 411 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 5: be alive unless God had something amazing in front of you. 412 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 3: Now, the question is will you get back in the game. 413 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 5: Will you get your fire back, your passion back, your 414 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 5: dreams back. Life is too short to go through it 415 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 5: against yourself. You may have made mistakes, we all have. 416 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 5: God is saying you're forgiven. Since He forgives you, why don't. 417 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 3: You forgive yourself. 418 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,959 Speaker 5: As long as you're beating yourself up, reliving failures, dwelling 419 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 5: on disappointments, that's going. 420 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 3: To keep you from your one more time. Shake that off. 421 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 3: This is a new day. It's time to. 422 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 5: Say goodbye to guilt, goodbye to condemnation, goodbye to heaviness. 423 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 5: Romans eight says there is no condemnation to those that 424 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 5: are in Christ Jesus. Here's the key who walk not 425 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 5: after the flesh, but after the spirit. When you make 426 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 5: a mistake, if you're in the flesh, you beat yourself up, 427 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 5: you feel unworthy. You try to pay God back by 428 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 5: living down and discourage. When you do that, you'll feel guilty, 429 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 5: you'll feel condemned. 430 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 3: But when you walk in the. 431 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 5: Spirit, you say, yes, I made a mistake. It was 432 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 5: my fault, but I ask God for forgiveness. I know 433 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 5: he not only forgave me, but he doesn't remember it. 434 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 5: So I'm not going to sit around beating myself up. 435 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 5: I'm saying goodbye to guilt. I'm saying idios to condemnation. 436 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 5: I'm dismissing the accusing voices. I'm getting ready for my 437 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 5: one more time. That's when there's no condemnation, when you 438 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 5: don't walla around in defeat, when you don't believe the 439 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 5: accuser's lies. You may have made mistakes like Sampson, you 440 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 5: got off course, but that is not how. 441 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 3: Your story ends. 442 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 5: If you'll shake off the guilt, God has a one 443 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 5: more time coming your way. He something bigger, more rewarding 444 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 5: than you've ever imagined. Now I've learned just because you 445 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 5: feel guilty doesn't mean you are guilty. You can't go 446 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 5: by your feelings. Feelings don't always tell us the truth. 447 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 5: I may not feel forgiven, but I know I am forgiven. 448 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 3: I may not feel holy, I. 449 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 5: Don't perform perfectly all the time, but I know I 450 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 5: am holy, I am righteous, I am blameless, I am honorable. Well, Joe, 451 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 5: how can you say that because you have received the 452 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 5: gift of righteousness? 453 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 3: This scripture tells us to resist the enemy. 454 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 5: Resist means to not agree with what he's telling you 455 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 5: when you hear him whisper. 456 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 3: You're all washed up. 457 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 5: You've failed too many times, you made too many mistakes. 458 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 5: The way you resist him is by saying no thanks. 459 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 5: I know my best days are still in front of me. 460 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 5: I know God's mercy is bigger than any mistake. 461 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 3: Don't assist him. Resist him. He'll tell you you don't 462 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 3: deserve to be blessed. 463 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 5: Look what you've done. Instead of assisting him. Yeah, you're right, 464 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 5: what was I thinking? Resist him? 465 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 3: I am the righteousness of God. 466 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 5: I am forgiven, I am redeemed. Well, you failed, you 467 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 5: blew it. You should have done better. He always talks 468 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 5: to you about your past. Talk to him about your future. 469 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 5: God's plans for me are for good, the path of 470 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 5: the righteous. My path keeps getting brighter and brighter. I 471 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 5: know one more time is coming my way. Until then, I'm. 472 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 3: Going to live guilt free. We have these chips at 473 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 3: home that I like to eat. On the bag, there's 474 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 3: a sticker that says gluten. 475 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 5: Free, means they don't have any gluten. You need to 476 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 5: have an imaginary sticker on you that says guilt free, 477 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 5: condemnation free, Heaven is free. When the accuser tries to 478 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 5: dump that load of guilt on you show him your sign. Sorry, 479 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 5: I'm guilt free. That's not acceptable here. When you came 480 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 5: in this building today, you may not realize it, but 481 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 5: you entered a guilt free zone. You might as well 482 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,479 Speaker 5: leave it outside. This is a righteous place, a holy place, 483 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 5: an honorable place, a healing place, a hope filled place, 484 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 5: a one more time place. Are you carrying something that's 485 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 5: weighing you down today? Are you assisting the accuser by 486 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 5: believing his lies? It's time to start resisting him. Believe 487 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 5: what God says about you. We've all made mistakes. But 488 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 5: remember you don't have to pay God back. The price 489 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 5: has already been paid. I'm asking you to receive his forgiveness, 490 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 5: receive his mercy. You have enough against you in life 491 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 5: as it is. Don't be against yourself. If you'll do this, 492 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 5: I believe and declare weights of condemnation and are lifting 493 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 5: off of you right now, You're going to live guilt free, confident, secure, holy, blameless, righteous, 494 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 5: honorable in Jesus' name, if you receive it, Can you 495 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 5: say him in today? I'd like to give you an 496 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 5: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would 497 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 5: you pray with me just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent 498 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 5: of my sins. 499 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 3: Come into my heart.
