They had 34 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 4: debated their whole life as to whether Jesus was white 35 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,279 Speaker 4: or whether he was black. Archie was certain he was white. 36 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 4: Jack was just as sure he was black. As fate 37 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 4: would have it, they both died on the same day. 38 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 4: Rushed to the pearly gates, says Saint Peter. Please, we've 39 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 4: been debating our whole life. Tell Us, is Jesus white 40 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 4: or is he black? About that time Jesus stepped up 41 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 4: and said, Buenos dias, say it like you mean it. 42 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 44 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 45 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 46 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 47 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 48 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: to talk to you today about living guilt free. We 49 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 4: all make mistakes. 50 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 5: And do things we know we shouldn't. 51 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 4: See easy to go around with the heaviness feeling bad 52 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 4: about ourselves. But living guilty doesn't do anything productive. It 53 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 4: doesn't help you to do better. It causes you to 54 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 4: struggle more. Guilt drains you emotionally, physically, it will wear 55 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 4: you out. When we're guilty, we don't pursue dreams. We 56 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 4: don't believe to overcome challenges. 57 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 5: We get stuck. 58 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 4: This is why the enemy works over time in this area. 59 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 4: He knows guilt will keep. 60 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 5: You from your destiny. 61 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 4: There's nothing he would love anymore than for you to 62 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 4: go through life against yourself, focused on your failures, feeling unworthy. 63 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 4: He's called the accuser of the Brethren. He'll remind you 64 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 4: of everything you've done wrong for the last thirty years 65 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 4: before you get out of bed in the morning, he'll 66 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: replay mistakes that you've made, how you weren't there for 67 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 4: your children, how you lost your temper, how you gave 68 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 4: into the temptation. 69 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 5: But here's the key. 70 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 4: The moment you ask God to forgive you, he not 71 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 4: only forgave you, but he doesn't remember your sins anymore. 72 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 4: That means if someone is bringing up negative things from 73 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 4: your past, that's not God. It's the accuser trying to 74 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 4: deceive you into carrying the heavy. 75 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 5: Load of guilt. 76 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 4: Do yourself a favor, say no thanks. I'm not perfect, 77 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 4: but I am forgiven. You can't drag yesterday's failures into 78 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 4: today and live in victory. 79 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 5: Let it go. 80 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 4: God's mercies are fresh every morning. Don't spend another minute 81 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 4: down on yourself, living in regrets. God has forgiven you. 82 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: Why don't you forgive yourself. God is not pushing you down. 83 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 5: Why don't you quit pushing yourself down? 84 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 4: The scripture talks about how God has made you righteous. 85 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 4: Righteous means holy, blameless, honorable. It doesn't say you're going 86 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 4: to be righteous one day when you perform better, when 87 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 4: you get your temper under control. You are righteous right now, 88 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 4: not because of what you've done, but because of what 89 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 4: Christ has done, you can't do anything to make you 90 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 4: more righteous. In fact, the scripture says all of our 91 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 4: righteousness is as filthy rags, meaning we can never measure 92 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 4: up on our own. No matter how hard we try, 93 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 4: how disciplined we are, there will. 94 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,679 Speaker 5: Be times that we fail. 95 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 4: Paul said in Romans, the gift of righteousness is for 96 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 4: all who will receive it. If you see yourself as unworthy, 97 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 4: not deserving, you don't measure up. The problem is you're 98 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 4: not receiving the gift. The accuser will tell you you've 99 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 4: made too many mistakes, You've failed too many times, You'll 100 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 4: never get it right. God says you are my holy, righteous, blameless, honorable, anointed, 101 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 4: amazing child. 102 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 5: Who are you going to believe? 103 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 4: Are you going to let the accuser deceive you into 104 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 4: carrying the guilt going around against yourself? No, start receiving 105 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 4: the gift. When those voices remind you of everything you're not. 106 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 4: One of the best things you can say is I 107 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 4: am righteous, I am holy, I am blameless, I am honorable. 108 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 4: Everything in your mind will say no, you're not. You 109 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 4: have an addiction. You keep giving in to the temptation 110 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 4: you made those mistakes. But when you declare I am righteous, 111 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 4: you are announcing to every force that's trying to stop you. 112 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 4: You're announcing to the accuser, to the guilt, to the heaviness. 113 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 4: You don't control my life. You don't determine my destiny. 114 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 4: You can't stop my purpose. The creator of the universe 115 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 4: made me righteous, He made me holy, He made me blameless. 116 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 4: What are you doing. You're receiving the gift of righteousness. 117 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 4: Proverb says the righteous are as bold as a lion. 118 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 4: When it comes to righteousness, you have to be bold. 119 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 4: Your own thoughts will tell you you're not blameless. God is 120 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 4: not pleased with you. Look what you've done, Look at 121 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: your mistakes. Guilt and condemnation will come knocking at the door. 122 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 4: And if you're unsure, doubtful, intimidated, guilt will take over. 123 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 5: This is where you have to be bold. 124 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 4: I may not feel worthy, but I know God has 125 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 4: made me worthy. I don't feel righteous, but Father, by faith, 126 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 4: I receive your gift. I thank you that I am righteous. Well, Joel, 127 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 4: I'm just an old sinner saved by grace. Now, you 128 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 4: used to be an old sinner, but when you gave 129 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 4: your life to Christ. 130 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 5: You became a new creation. 131 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 4: Now you're not an old sinner. 132 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 5: You're a son. 133 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 4: You're a daughter of the Most High God. I'm looking 134 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 4: at holy people, righteous people, blameless people, honorable people. You 135 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 4: may have brought guilt in here with you today. You 136 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 4: might as well leave it at your seat. You might 137 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 4: have brought heaviness, regrets, unworthiness. You can unload all that 138 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 4: right now. 139 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 5: You can make an exchange. 140 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: If you'll give up your guilt, your regrets, your unworthiness, God. 141 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 5: Will give you his righteousness. 142 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 4: Sometimes it's like we're carrying all these bags with us 143 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 4: everywhere we go. 144 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 5: That weigh us down. 145 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 4: Before we leave the house. Let me get my bag 146 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 4: of guilt. Let me load up all the mistakes I've made, 147 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 4: everything I did wrong. Hang on, I need another bag. 148 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 4: Doesn't fit in one bag. Let me put my regrets 149 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 4: in there. Should have raised my children better, should have 150 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 4: finished school. Yelled at my coworker yesterday. Let me fit 151 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 4: that regret in there. I lost my temper in traffic 152 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 4: last week. God's so upset I spoke in tongues to 153 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 4: that driver. I need a whole new bag for that one. 154 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 4: We go through life carrying around all these bags we 155 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 4: wonder why we walk with a limp. 156 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 5: We wonder why. 157 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 4: Life is a struggle while we're tired, why we can't 158 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 4: accomplish a dream. It's because we're carrying things we were 159 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 4: never designed to carry. 160 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 5: You weren't created to live guilty. 161 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 4: To have that nagging voice always telling you there's something. 162 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 5: Wrong with you. 163 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 4: You don't deserve to be happy. Those are weights that 164 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 4: the accuser uses to try to keep you from your destiny. 165 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 4: If he can't get you off course, he'll at least 166 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 4: try to weigh you down so you don't go as 167 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 4: far as you should. The scripture tells us to lay 168 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 4: aside the weights that. 169 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 5: Can easily beset us. It's easy to carry weights. 170 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 4: Are you carrying weights of guilt, weights of shame, weights 171 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 4: of regret? It's time to lay aside those weights. It's 172 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 4: time to get rid of that baggage. Most airlines tell 173 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 4: us two bags per customer. 174 00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 5: They have a limit. 175 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 4: We have a very strict rule around here, no bags 176 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 4: per customer. 177 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 5: You may have brought some, but you can leave them 178 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 5: where you are. This is a new day. 179 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 4: God wants you to go out. 180 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 5: Of here lighter. 181 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 4: The accuser has held you back long enough. Nothing you've 182 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 4: done in the past is too. 183 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 5: Much for the mercy of God. 184 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 4: Now I believe chains are being broken, strong holds are 185 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 4: coming down. You are redeemed, you are restored, You are holy, 186 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 4: you are blameless. Shake off the guilt, shake off the 187 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 4: accusing voices, and receive the gift of righteousness. When our 188 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 4: children were small, I would take them up to the 189 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 4: toy store a lot. Didn't have to be a special occasion. 190 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 4: I just like to buy them things. Hey, come on, Jonathan, 191 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 4: come on, Alexandra, let's go to the toy store. Never 192 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 4: once did Jonathan say, no, Dad, I don't deserve to go. 193 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 4: I didn't clean my room yesterday. I threw food at 194 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 4: my baby. None of that came to mind. He simply said, yes, Dad, 195 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 4: I'm ready, let's go. 196 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 5: See. 197 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 4: Children know how to receive a gift. They don't start 198 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: debating whether or not they deserve it, have they earned it, 199 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 4: have they been good enough? They just receive it Like 200 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 4: a child. You have to receive the gift of righteousness. 201 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 4: Don't start thinking about all you did or didn't do, 202 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 4: trying to figure out if you really deserve it, if 203 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 4: you're good enough, you can't earn it. 204 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 5: It's a gift, just receive it. 205 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 4: See, sometimes we think we have to pay God back 206 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 4: for our mistakes by living down and discouraged, to show 207 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 4: him that we're sorry, that we're remorseful. And yes, there 208 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 4: should be a conviction when we do something wrong. I'm 209 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 4: not saying just do whatever you want, never feel bad 210 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 4: about it. My point is, once you ask for forgiveness, 211 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 4: you don't have. 212 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 5: To pay God back. 213 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 4: The price has all already been paid. But when you 214 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 4: live guilty, you're saying, in effect, the sacrifice Christ made 215 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 4: wasn't enough. Let me add something to it. Let me 216 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 4: do my part by paying some kind of penalty for 217 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 4: this wrong that I've done. Living guilty and condemned doesn't 218 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 4: bring any honor to God, after all, Christ did to 219 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 4: pay the prist. If you want to honor God, get 220 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 4: rid of the guilt, quit listening to the accusing voices, 221 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 4: and move forward with your life. Isaiah said, God remembers 222 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 4: our sins no more. God is an all knowing God. 223 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 4: He knows everything that's going to happen, past, present, and future. 224 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 4: Yet when we ask God to forgive us this all powerful, 225 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 4: all knowing God, in a sense steps out of character 226 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 4: and says, I'm going to delete that event. I'm not 227 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 4: going to keep any record of it. He chooses not 228 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 4: to remember. If God forgets it, why don't you forget it? 229 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 4: If God let it. 230 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 5: Go, why don't you let it go? 231 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 4: I know people that ask God to forgive them for 232 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 4: the same thing year after year, something they did twenty 233 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 4: years ago. They don't realize the first time. They ask 234 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 4: God not only forgave them, but he doesn't remember it anymore. 235 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 4: When you bring it up, it's as if God is saying, 236 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 4: what are. 237 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 5: You talking about. 238 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 4: I don't remember that mistake. 239 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 5: I don't remember the failure. 240 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 4: I don't remember the time you gave in to temptation. 241 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 4: Quit remembering what God has forgotten. Quit telling him how 242 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 4: bad you are, how you messed up, how you lost 243 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 4: your temper. He forgave your way back when you ask 244 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 4: the first time, All that's doing is making you feel guilty, condemned, 245 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 4: bad about yourself. Instead of asking for forgiveness for the 246 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 4: same thing, start receiving God's mercy. Mercy covers our mistakes. 247 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: Mercy gives you what you didn't deserve. You were guilty, 248 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 4: it was your fault, you deserved judgment, But mercy says 249 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 4: you're forgiven, you're redeemed, you're restored. When you're tempted to 250 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 4: ask for forgiveness for the same thing, just turn it around. Father, 251 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 4: Thank you for your mercy in my life. This is 252 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 4: what Jonah had to do. He had just made one 253 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 4: of the biggest mistakes of his life. God told him 254 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 4: to go to the city of Nineveh and tell the 255 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 4: people to repent. Jonah went the other direction and almost 256 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 4: lost his life. He spent three days in the belly 257 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 4: of a fish. When that fish finally spit him out 258 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 4: on dry ground. 259 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 5: You would think. 260 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 4: God would say, Jonah, you need to sit on the 261 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 4: sidelines and think about your mistake. You need to pay 262 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 4: some kind of penalty for that wrong. Maybe one day 263 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 4: I'll use you again. Maybe one day I'll give you 264 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 4: another chance. No, as soon as Jonah was on dry ground, 265 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 4: as soon as he was saying, the scripture says, the 266 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 4: word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, 267 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 4: go to Nineveh and tell them to repent. God was saying, 268 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 4: in effect, Jonah, you made a mistake. You got off course, 269 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 4: but you repented, you asked for forgiveness. Now get back 270 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 4: in the game. You don't have to sit around and 271 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 4: defeated a week, a month. 272 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 5: A year. 273 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 4: I've forgiven you. Now do what I'm asking you to do. 274 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 4: A lot of times we categorize our mistakes. If it's 275 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 4: something small, we think we have to pay God back 276 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 4: by living down and discourage for a day or two. 277 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 5: If it's something medium, maybe a week or two. 278 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 4: But if it's something big, like Jonah, we really messed 279 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 4: up the trouble on ourselves. We think we have to 280 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 4: give up our joy, our peace, our dreams for at 281 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 4: least a year or two. After all, it was our fault. 282 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 4: Like with Jonah, God doesn't say, yeah, go sit on 283 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 4: the sidelines. 284 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 5: Man, you blew it. 285 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 4: You caused me a lot of trouble. I'm not gonna 286 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 4: have anything to. 287 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 5: Do with you for years. 288 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 4: That's not the way God is now. The accuser will 289 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 4: work over time, telling you God's not going to bless you. 290 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 4: You can't expect his favor, You can't expect to accomplish dreams. 291 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 4: You owe God a whole lot for that mistake. No, 292 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 4: the price has been paid. Don't believe those lies. I'm 293 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 4: sure Jonah thought God, Did I hear you right? You 294 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 4: mean you still want me to go to Nineveh and 295 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 4: tell them to repent. I just repented myself. I just 296 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 4: got out of the fish. Shouldn't I sit on the 297 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 4: sidelines for a month and show you that I'm sorry. 298 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 4: Shouldn't I say sit out at least a year and 299 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 4: prove to you that I'll do what's right. God said, no, Jonah, 300 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 4: I have something for you to do right now. I 301 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 4: have an assignment for you. But as long as you're 302 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 4: guilty and condemned, you are of no use to me. 303 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 4: Shake that off and go to Ninevah in the same way. 304 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 4: God can't use you in the way he wants. When 305 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 4: you live guilty, feeling condemned, down on yourself, we're not 306 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 4: a good witness. We don't pursue dreams, we don't take 307 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 4: steps of faith. God needs you confident, secure, feeling good 308 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 4: about yourself. 309 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 5: He has an assignment for you. 310 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 4: Can you imagine when Jonah stood up in front of 311 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 4: the whole city of Nineveh and told them to repent. 312 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 4: Every voice whispered in his ear. Jonah, you're a hypocrite. 313 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 4: You just repented yesterday. You know better than these people. 314 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 4: You have no right to be up here. 315 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 5: Had to do what we all must do. 316 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 4: He ignored the accusing voices, He shook off the guilt 317 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 4: and received the. 318 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 5: Gift of righteousness. 319 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 4: God was going to destroy the city of Nineveh, but 320 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 4: because Jonah asked them to repent, because he didn't sit 321 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 4: on the sidelines trying to pay God back for his mistake, 322 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 4: the whole city repented. God in his mercy, changed his 323 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 4: mind and spared their lives. Are you letting a mistake 324 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 4: you made or some way you failed convince you that 325 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 4: God won't have anything to do with you right now. 326 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 4: Maybe one day he'll use you, Maybe one day he'll 327 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 4: help you accomplish a dream. 328 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 5: No, God is saying to you what he said to Jonah. 329 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 5: Get back in the game. 330 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 4: I have something for you to do right now. That 331 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 4: mistake didn't stop your destiny. You don't have to sit 332 00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 4: on the sidelines of life. Start moving forward. Times with 333 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 4: little children, whether they or not behaving properly, the mother 334 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,239 Speaker 4: will give them a timeout. They have to sit by 335 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 4: themselves for a few minutes, not play, not have any fun. 336 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 4: We think when we make mistakes, surely God must give 337 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 4: us a timeout, depending on how bad it was. That's 338 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 4: how long we have to sit out. Jonah, that was 339 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 4: a big mistake. You CAUs me a lot of trouble. 340 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 4: That's a five year timeout. I'll see you weigh down 341 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 4: the road. You didn't do what Jonah did, but you 342 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 4: lost your temper. That's a three week timeout. Feel guilty, condemned. 343 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 4: He gave into the temptation again. That's the fourth time 344 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 4: in one month. That's a one year timeout. Like with Jonah, 345 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 4: God doesn't have any timeouts. 346 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 5: He corrects us, He gets us on the right. 347 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 4: Course and says, move forward. Now here's where you have 348 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 4: to be bold, because those thoughts will tell you you 349 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 4: knew the right thing and you did the wrong thing. 350 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 4: God's not going to blame you. 351 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 5: Just say no thanks. 352 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 4: I've asked for forgiveness, I've received God's mercy. I'm not 353 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 4: going to live condemned down on myself. I'm going to 354 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 4: keep moving forward. I know I have a destiny to fulfill. 355 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 4: In the scripture, Samson made a lot of mistakes. His 356 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 4: birth was predicted by the prophets. An angel told his 357 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 4: mother that she would have a son. He would be 358 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 4: a deliverer and do great things. And Samson started off good. 359 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 4: He had supernatural strength. He couldn't be defeated by his enemies, 360 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 4: but he let his guard down. He started compromising. One 361 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 4: thing led to another. This once powerful, influential man ended 362 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 4: up captured by his enemies. They gouged out his eyes. 363 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 5: They put him in prison. He spent his. 364 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 4: Days grinding at the mill. I'm sure the accuser said 365 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 4: to him, Boy, Samson, you blew it big time. 366 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 5: Even the angel said you would do something great. But 367 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 5: look at you. 368 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 4: You're a slave. You're in chains, you're working like an animal. 369 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 5: You should feel guilty. 370 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 4: You would think with all of his poor choices, God 371 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 4: would be done with him. After all. Sampson knew better. 372 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 4: It was his fault. But God never gives up on us. 373 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 4: That mistake doesn't have to cancel your destiny. Don't believe 374 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 4: those lies that you've gone too far off course. 375 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 5: You've made too many mistakes. 376 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 4: One day, Sampson's captors were having a big reception in 377 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 4: their temple, several thousand people there. They brought Samson out 378 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 4: to make fun of him. As he was standing there, 379 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 4: being mocked and ridiculed, he asked a young boy to 380 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 4: place his hands on the big columns that held up 381 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 4: the temple. The scripture says the spirit of the Lord 382 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 4: came on Samson one more time. God gave him his 383 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 4: strength back. He was able to push over the columns. 384 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 5: The whole building collapsed. 385 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 4: Samson defeated more enemies in his death than he did 386 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 4: in all of his lifetime. 387 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 5: You may have made mistakes. 388 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 4: The accuser's telling you you're all washed up nor life 389 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 4: with Sampson. God has a one more time for you. 390 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 4: You have not seen your greatest victories. You have not 391 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 4: sung your best song, you have not written your best book, 392 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 4: you have not played your best play. You wouldn't be 393 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 4: alive unless God had something amazing in front of you. 394 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 5: Now. The question is will you get back in the game. 395 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 5: Will you get your. 396 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 4: Fire back, your passion back, your dreams back. Life is 397 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 4: too short to go through it against yourself. You may 398 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 4: have made mistakes, we all have. God is saying you're forgiven. 399 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 4: Since he forgives you, why don't. 400 00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 5: You forgive yourself. 401 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 4: As long as you're beating yourself up, reliving failures, dwelling 402 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 4: on disappointments, that's going to keep you from your one 403 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 4: more time. 404 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 5: Shake that off. This is a new day. 405 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 4: It's time to say goodbye to guilt, goodbye to condemnation, 406 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 4: goodbye to heaviness. Romans eight says there is no condemnation 407 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 4: to those that are in Christ. Jesus, here's the key 408 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 4: who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. 409 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 4: When you make a mistake, if you're in the flesh, 410 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 4: you beat yourself up, you feel unworthy. You try to 411 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 4: pay God back by living down and discourage. When you 412 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 4: do that, you'll feel guilty, you'll feel condemned. But when 413 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 4: you walk in the spirit, you say, yes, I made 414 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 4: a mistake. It was my fault, but I ask God 415 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 4: for forgiveness. I know he not only forgave me, but 416 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 4: he doesn't remember it. So I'm not going to sit 417 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 4: around beating myself up. I'm saying goodbye to guilt. I'm 418 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 4: saying adios to condemnation. I'm dismissing the accusing voices. I'm 419 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 4: getting ready for my one more time. That's when there's 420 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 4: no condemnation, when you don't walla around in defeat, when 421 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 4: you don't believe the accuser's lies. You may have made mistakes, 422 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 4: like Sampson, you got off course, but that is not 423 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 4: how your story ends. If you'll shake off the guilt, 424 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 4: God has a one more time come in your way. 425 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 4: He has something bigger, more rewarding than you've ever imagined. 426 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 4: Now I've learned just because you feel guilty doesn't mean 427 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 4: you are guilty. You can't go by your feelings. Feelings 428 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 4: don't always tell us the truth. I may not feel forgiven, 429 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 4: but I know I am forgiven. I may not feel holy. 430 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 4: I don't perform perfectly all the time, but I know 431 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 4: I am holy, I am righteous, I am blameless, I 432 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 4: am honorable. How can you say that? Because you have 433 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 4: received the gift of righteousness. The Scripture tells us to 434 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 4: resist the enemy. Resist means to not agree with what 435 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 4: he's telling you. When you hear him whisper, you're all 436 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 4: washed up. You've failed too many times, you made too 437 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 4: many mistakes. The way you resist him is by saying 438 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 4: no thanks. I know my best days are still in 439 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 4: front of me. I know God's mercy is bigger than 440 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 4: any mistake. 441 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 5: Don't assist him. Resist him. 442 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 4: He'll tell you don't deserve to be blessed. Look what 443 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 4: you've done instead of assisting him. 444 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, what was I thinking? Resist him? 445 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 4: I am the righteousness of God, I am forgiven, I 446 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 4: am redeemed. Well, you failed, you blew it. You should 447 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 4: have done better. He always talks to you about your past, 448 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 4: talk to him about your future. God's plans for me 449 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 4: are for good, the path of the righteous. My path 450 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 4: keeps getting brighter and brighter. I know one more time 451 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 4: is coming my way. Until then, I'm gonna live guilt free. 452 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 4: We have these chips at home that I like to eat. 453 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 4: On the bag, there's a sticker that says gluten free, 454 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 4: means they don't have any gluten. You need to have 455 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 4: an imaginary sticker on you that says guilt free, condemnation free, 456 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 4: Heaven is free. When the accuser tries to dump that 457 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 4: load of guilt on you, just show him your sign. Sorry, 458 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 4: I'm guilt free. That's not acceptable here. When you came 459 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 4: in this building today, you may not realize it, but 460 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 4: you entered a guilt free zone. You might as well 461 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 4: leave it outside. This is a righteous place, a holy place, 462 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 4: an honorable place, a healing place, a hole filled place, 463 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 4: or one more time place. Are you carrying something that's 464 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 4: weighing you down? Are you assisting the accuser by believing 465 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 4: his lies. It's time to start resisting him. Believe what 466 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 4: God says about you. We've all made mistakes, but remember 467 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 4: you don't have to pay God back. The price has 468 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 4: already been paid. I'm asking you to receive his forgiveness, 469 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 4: receive his mercy. You have enough against you in life 470 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 4: as it is. Don't be against yourself. If you'll do this, 471 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 4: I believe and declare weights of condemnation are lifting off 472 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 4: of you right now. You're going to live guilt free, confident, secure, holy, blameless, righteous, 473 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 4: honorable in Jesus's. 474 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 5: Name, if you receive it, Can you say him in Today? 475 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 4: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 476 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 4: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 477 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 478 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 4: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 479 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 4: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 480 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 4: born again.
