❓ What do these grades mean?
We do not issue this rating to attack the speaker, but to protect the listener. This church's overall teaching trend consistently deviates from sound doctrine. As per Romans 16:17, we identify these patterns so believers can guard their hearts.
🧐 Overview
Sermon Summary: This sermon attempts to teach on grace-based prayer but ultimately presents a distorted view of the Christian life. By over-emphasizing 'rest' to the point of passivity and promising material wealth as a fruit of union with Christ, it dangerously redefines grace as a license for inaction and a tool for personal gain, rather than the power of God for a life of active holiness and repentance.
Big Idea: Prayer should be rooted in the finished work of Christ, reflecting our identity as sons and daughters of God. [00:00:00 ▶️ 📄]
Pastoral Analysis: The sermon's central thesis—that prayer should be rooted in the finished work of Christ—is biblically sound. However, the execution is fatally flawed by multiple heresies. The teaching veers into Antinomianism by radically divorcing a believer's identity from their behavior, suggesting holiness is automatic and requires no effort (Quietism). It is further corrupted by the Prosperity Gospel, explicitly promising financial gain without labor as a result of this 'union.' The use of Scripture is pretextual, with an extremely low text-to-talk ratio, serving only to support these pre-existing, erroneous doctrines. The repeated claims of direct, personal words from God also undermine the sufficiency of Scripture.
Biblical Parallel(Archetype): Thyatira — The sermon tolerates and promotes a seductive teaching that mixes the truth of grace with a prosperity and antinomian heresy, leading God's people astray.
🧭 Biblical Alignment Dashboard
Overall Verdict: Fundamentally in Error
| Category | Status | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Soteriology | ❌ FAIL | The sermon promotes a functionally antinomian and quietist view of salvation. While correctly opposing works-based righteousness, it wrongly suggests that sanctification is a passive process requiring no active participation from the believer, and that one can be a 'saint' while being unconcerned with sinful behavior. This corrupts the doctrine of grace. |
| Bibliology | ⚠️ WEAK | The pastor's claims of receiving direct instructions from God ('God spoke to me,' 'the Lord told me') create a second, subjective source of authority alongside Scripture, undermining its sufficiency. The sermon has an extremely low text-to-talk ratio, indicating the Bible is not the source of the message but a garnish for it. |
| Hermeneutic | ❌ FAIL | The hermeneutic is anthropocentric (man-centered). Scripture is interpreted through the lens of what the believer can gain—identity, rest, and even money—rather than what brings glory to God. This results in a self-focused application of the text. |
| Theology Proper | ❌ FAIL | God is presented as a passive force who has completed His work and now waits for believers to 'activate' it through belief. This diminishes His active, sovereign, and ongoing work of providence and sanctification in the life of the believer. |
| Sacramentology | ⚪ N/A | Neither Communion nor Baptism were observed or discussed in the sermon. |

Christological Connection: Thematic: The pastor thematically connects the sermon to the 'finished work' of Christ, but uses this biblical concept as a foundation for unbiblical teachings on passivity and prosperity.
🧱 Sermon Outline
- Introduction: Giving and the Finished Work [00:00:00 ▶️ 📄] : The sermon opens by linking financial giving to a love-based response to God, then introduces the core theme: that most Christians pray incorrectly because they don't understand that everything is already 'finished' by Christ.
- Point 1: Prayer Rooted in Identity [00:15:13 ▶️ 📄] : The pastor argues that prayer must come from the identity of a 'son,' not a 'servant.' He radically separates this identity from the believer's behavior, insisting on belief in sonship regardless of actions.
- Point 2 & 3: Union with God & Response to Faithfulness [00:22:44 ▶️ 📄] : He teaches that believers are already in union with Christ, who dwells in them. Therefore, prayer is a response to God's past faithfulness, not a performance to earn His attention.
- Point 4: Rest, Not Striving [00:50:06 ▶️ 📄] : The final point posits that grace-based prayer is founded on 'rest.' This is described as a passive state of ceasing from striving, with the promise that union with Christ will automatically produce fruit, including financial provision.
- Conclusion: A Call to Believe [01:13:30 ▶️ 📄] : The sermon concludes with a call to abandon 'religious bondage' and simply believe in the finished work, trusting that this belief alone will transform one's life and secure one's eternal destiny.
🗝️ Key Topics & Themes
- Giving [00:00:00 ▶️ 📄] : The pastor emphasizes that giving is a reflex of one's love for God and should be done out of devotion rather than obligation.
- Grace-based prayer [00:08:05 ▶️ 📄] : The pastor discusses the concept of grace-based prayer, emphasizing that God has already blessed us with all spiritual blessings.
- Grace-based prayer [00:12:05 ▶️ 📄] : The pastor discusses the concept of grace-based prayer, emphasizing its foundation in Christ's completed work rather than seeking additional divine action.
- Identity as a Son of God [00:17:59 ▶️ 📄] : The pastor emphasizes the importance of believing in one's identity as a son of God, rather than defining oneself by behavior.
- Grace-Based Prayer [00:22:44 ▶️ 📄] : The pastor discusses the roots of grace-based prayer, emphasizing identity and union with God over insecurity and distance.
✅ Commendations
Gospel Clarity | Emphasis on the Finished Work of Christ
The pastor correctly and forcefully argues against a works-based, legalistic approach to salvation. His constant refrain that Jesus has 'finished' the work necessary for our justification is a vital biblical truth that stands against any attempt to earn God's favor.
⚠️ Theological Concerns
🔴 Antinomianism (Grace as License)
Root Cause: Antinomianism: This is the belief that under the gospel dispensation of grace, moral law is of no use or obligation because faith alone is necessary for salvation. It denies the Lordship of Christ and the necessity of holiness, turning grace into a license for immorality.
"i am a son of god i don't care what i did when i did it how i did it i'm not gonna turn it loose my identity" [00:20:55 ▶️ 📄]
Correction: Biblical grace does not ignore sin; it conquers it. While our salvation is not based on our works, it inevitably produces them. The Apostle John warns, 'Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil... No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him' (1 John 3:8-9). True faith is evidenced by a changed life and a hatred for the sin Christ died for.
🔴 Prosperity Gospel
Root Cause: Prosperity Gospel / Word of Faith: This heresy teaches that the Atonement guarantees physical health and financial wealth for believers. It reduces God to a means for achieving personal success and comfort, which is a form of idolatry.
"where the money coming in at it wherever you need it it'll show up and you ain't got the sweat to get it" [00:59:07 ▶️ 📄]
Correction: The purpose of the Atonement is eternal redemption from sin, not earthly enrichment. Jesus warned, 'You cannot serve God and money' (Matthew 6:24). The gospel calls us to a life of contentment in Christ, whether in plenty or in want (Philippians 4:12-13), and to seek first the kingdom of God, not earthly riches.
🔴 Quietism (Passive Sanctification)
Root Cause: Quietism / Keswick Theology: This teaching promotes a passive approach to the Christian life, suggesting that spiritual growth occurs by ceasing from effort and simply 'resting' in Christ. It denies the believer's active role and responsibility in sanctification.
"if you just receive this gift I'll take care of the behavior" [00:19:29 ▶️ 📄]
Correction: Sanctification is a cooperative work between God and the believer. God provides the power and desire, but the believer must actively obey. Scripture commands us to 'make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue' (2 Peter 1:5) and to 'strive for... the holiness without which no one will see the Lord' (Hebrews 12:14). Passivity is not a Christian virtue.
🟠 Subjective Authority
Root Cause: Neo-Montanism: This is the error of claiming new, ongoing, direct revelation from God that carries authority for the church. It undermines the doctrine of Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) by adding to God's completed Word.
"when the lord told me to do a tour to all 50 states i thought huh" [01:05:46 ▶️ 📄]
Correction: The Bible is the complete and final revelation from God for the faith and life of the church (2 Timothy 3:16-17). While the Holy Spirit illuminates the Word and guides believers, He does not provide new, binding revelation. Our confidence must be in the written Word alone, not in subjective feelings or experiences.
📝 Other Corrections & Notes
- I don't think 98% of the body Christ knows how [to pray]. [00:04:15 ▶️ 📄] → Correction: This is a statistically unverifiable and uncharitable hyperbole used for rhetorical effect. (N/A)
- not even the fall of Adam and Eve messed you up [00:12:05 ▶️ 📄] → Correction: This is theologically false. The fall of Adam plunged the entire human race into sin and misery (Romans 5:12). It is precisely because we are 'messed up' by the fall that we desperately need the grace of God in Christ. (Romans 5:12)

[00:00:00] This is opportunity for wholeness time, opportunity for prosperity time. I want to read something to you from the book of Psalms 96 verses 6 through 9 in the King James. Psalms 96 verses 6 through 9. When I give, it's a worship. I'm giving because I want God to actually show me how I can serve him through my finances and through my giving. But at the same
[00:00:32] same time I just don't forget what happens when I give I'm I'm become I'm becoming a part of God's generosity flow a part of that goodness flow my union with him begins to be amplified before my
[00:00:48] eyes he says in verse 6 honor and majesty are before him strength and beauty are in his sanctuary Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people Give unto the Lord glory and strength
[00:01:09] Give unto the Lord the glory that's due unto his name, colon How do you do that?
[00:01:19] Bring an offering Come into his courts O worship the Lord and the beauty of his holiness Fear before him all the earth One of the things that I wanted you to see this morning Is that our giving is a reflex of the love of God
[00:01:42] And what happens is because God so loved the world That he gave his only begotten son Giving is a reflex of that love that he has for us He loved the world that he gave
[00:01:57] Well, I've come to a place where I love God and and my giving has become a reflex to my love for God I think about how much he's done I think about how many times he lifted us up I think about all that he's made available to us
[00:02:19] how he's gifted us before we were even formed into a fetus and I'm not moved by fear give or you won't get blessed give or whatever i'm moved by my love and i think that's why the way everything
[00:02:36] in the new testament should operate it's something that comes from your heart because of a tender organic relationship with the father and because of that love you give it's a reflex it's not something that you give out of obligation it's not something that you're doing out of duty it's
[00:03:00] something you're doing out of your devotion to that relationship and out of the love that you have in that relationship ladies and gentlemen until we can get to that place where we're giving being moved by the right stuff we can get to that place where we can recognize what he's already
[00:03:19] done for us instead of sin if we can get him to do a little bit more i'm telling you god's done enough for all of us that we really if you don't do nothing else we we ought to be good we ought
[00:03:33] to be able to look back and say yeah that didn't happen but oh that happened yeah that didn't happen but oh that happened and i think we get up every day looking to see what god can do for us
[00:03:47] today and we'll real worship is lord what can you do through me today today i'm gonna teach on something um yeah it's it's pretty big because everybody's pretty settled in and i'm gonna teach on how to pray because I don't think 98% of the body Christ knows how. And what I have to say to
[00:04:15] you today, I say it with all of the love and passion that I could possibly say it in, but people wonder where was God? Well, I know where he is. He's in the finished, but a lot of us aren't.
[00:04:31] We're still in this thing, trying to get him to perform and trying to get him to show up.
[00:04:35] and he said over and over again i did it all so my prayer today is that we give out of our love and devotion to god and through that giving that we can hear something today
[00:04:50] that'll just change our our lives i'm normally kind of on fire and screaming and hollering and ready let's get ready to do this thing but this morning it's just you know wow Wondering how you feeling today god
[00:05:08] You did everything and we still acting like you did nothing We talk like you did nothing. We pray like when you did nothing we give like you did nothing We even have a day we call easter and we celebrate what you did, but we really don't believe it because we leave
[00:05:27] Like you did nothing I pray that the spirit of god will come heavily upon you today I said to Bishop and Miss Ken this morning We were walking out and I said If I was the devil
[00:05:40] I'd try to stop me today Amen And I believe that your life Will never be the same I guess let's just pray over our offerings And get to it Father we thank you for the opportunity
[00:05:54] To give and to sow and to plant But we do this Out of a heart of appreciation We give glory to you Lord Out of devotion As you have loved us so much that you gave everything when you gave your son you gave us everything when you gave your son
[00:06:14] you gave us everything when you gave your son and what we have to give to you is yours anyway all things come of thee oh lord and of thine own have we given thee we praise you in this gift
[00:06:32] today in jesus name amen let's just go ahead and receive the offering this morning i pray that you just see it a little differently amen all right take a deep breath you ready get ready for this father thank you for this another opportunity to minister to
[00:07:14] these your precious sheep thank you Lord that revelation knowledge will flow freely uninterrupted and unhindered by any satanic or demonic force father I pray that you will speak through my vocal cords and think through my mind
[00:07:32] for when i am weak you are strong for when we are weak you are strong and we thank you that we have anointed ears to hear jesus name we pray and everybody said amen would you give the lord a
[00:07:49] big hand clap for all that we've experienced this morning amen if you have your bibles go with me to the book of ephesians chapter one and verse three we're gonna continue our series on how to
[00:08:05] cast care, but we're going to talk this morning, how to cast care through grace-based prayer, how to cast care through grace-based prayer. Ephesians chapter one and verse three, he says, blessed, notice that's past tense, blessed or empowered to have success or empowered to succeed,
[00:08:35] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Who hath, past tense, already done done it Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings In heavenly places in Christ Now according to this, he's not going to bless us
[00:09:05] with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
[00:09:09] According to this, he hath already, past tense, blessed us.
[00:09:17] We're blessed.
[00:09:18] And Galatians says we're blessed because of Jesus.
[00:09:21] We're blessed, indeed blessed, done done it, it's finished.
[00:09:25] Say out loud, I'm blessed right now.
[00:09:29] You're blessed.
[00:09:33] Now, if you think the blessing is just money and houses and material thing you hadn't even skimmed the surface of what it means to be blessed we're talking about you're empowered to succeed and why you here you're you're empowered to succeed
[00:09:49] in the um uh the purpose for why you're here blessed you're blessed already blessed well if we're already blessed how come we keep trying to do something to get blessed How come we keep hearing if you do that then god will bless you if you do this then god will bless you
[00:10:13] If you do that three four times then god will bless you. How come we just can't receive that's finished i'm Blessed say that i'm blessed so the tense of our living I'm living in the finished tense
[00:10:36] one lord one faith God's faith God's faith is perfect God's faith is complete God's faith is done God's faith is finished And you and I are finished He's already finished you You have a new identity
[00:11:03] You are sons of God You are righteous You are redeemed Jesus has been made unto you Redemption you are you are complete in him you are sanctified you're holy but something in church keep telling
[00:11:23] you not yet that is your stance before God you stand before God as if you've never sinned that is your stance before God you're already righteous but something in church keeps telling folks no you got to do that and then you'll be righteous you're already saved delivered
[00:11:50] whole but some keeps telling you you got to endure in order to really be saved because we haven't received what Jesus has has given us as a gift we have been we are gifted not even the fall of Adam
[00:12:05] and Eve messed you up grace-based prayer is praying from what Christ has already finished grace-based prayer is not trying to get God to do something that he's already done it's not praying to get God to do something but when most people pray they're praying to try to get God to do
[00:12:43] something aren't they aren't we father in the name of Jesus give me a job father in the name of Jesus deliver me and and and most of the church walks around like well why didn't that work why
[00:13:03] and God spoke to me said this son I got you but let him know what I'm getting ready to teach you so I want to start off like this grace-based prayer is not praying from it's not praying
[00:13:25] to God try to get him to do something he's already done grace-based prayer is a is praying from the finished i'm righteous father i thank you that i'm righteous lord i give you praise for
[00:13:41] for what you've done father i give you glory that i'm healed father i thank you that i'm delivered and where two or three shall gather together and y'all begin to agree on the finished he can't
[00:13:59] hardly get nobody to believe that it's done i started off saying normally i'm excited and i scream a lot well here it is so let's look at the first part grace-based prayer is rooted in
[00:14:20] i'm gonna give you four i'm gonna show you it's rooted in these things grace-based prayer is rooted in these things number one grace-based grace-based prayer is rooted in your identity number two grace-based prayer is rooted in your union with god number three grace-based prayer
[00:14:40] is rooted in your response to his faithfulness, that he's been so faithful to do all the things that he's done. And number four, grace-based prayer is rooted in rest. Again, it's rooted in your identity. It's rooted in your union with God. It's rooted in your response to his
[00:14:59] faithfulness. It's rooted in rest. Now I'm going to go over these one by one as the rain shows back up to try to challenge what has to happen this morning let it rain we need to rain all right now
[00:15:13] watch this number one let's look at grace-based prayer rooted in identity now I want you to put this by this it's rooted in identity not in insecurity it's rooted in identity what does that mean you pray as a son you're praying as a son that's your identity you're praying son
[00:15:33] includes daughter so I'm not going to say daughter because you are son what he did son is not just in in your in your sexual identity you're a son in how God identifies you as being righteous and
[00:15:47] delivered and complete and all of those wonderful things your identity is that you're a child of God you are a son of God you pray as a son not as a servant a servant is trying to earn a response
[00:16:01] from God. Servants are trying to get God to respond. Sons, when you pray as a son, you're not praying as a servant trying to get God to respond. A son prays knowing God's already responded. A son prays already knowing that you're righteous, you're delivered. A son prays
[00:16:21] with the confidence that he has in his father that it's done. Servants pray to try to get God to respond. Servants not only pray to try to get God to respond, servants pray to try to earn God's
[00:16:35] response. Let me give you a scripture here. Galatians chapter 3, 26. Let's look in the New King James Version and then in the mirror. Galatians chapter 3 and verse 26. It's one of those things where, you know, I'm teaching these things now because prayer is one of those
[00:16:55] foundational pillars of of the church and you know somebody said you just just just talk to God and I'm not it's it's it's a little more than that you know what I'm saying it's not of a big
[00:17:09] adjustment it's just stop praying to try to get him to respond or earn his response or trying to get him to do something and start praying in line with what he's already done pray in line with the
[00:17:20] finished look what he says here for you are all come on no right here you can't say no he's talking about males no he he's talking about his children you're all sons of God how your sons of God
[00:17:43] through faith in Christ Jesus you say you have faith in Christ Jesus your sons of God through your faith and your leaning on Christ Jesus say out loud I'm a son of God I am son of God I am a
[00:17:59] son of God now it's up to you to believe that because the enemy is going to come to you quickly and say you ain't a son of God look at how you behaving ah so the problem is you think your
[00:18:12] behavior is going to establish your sonship your sonship is what establishes your behavior just believe it just believe it quit trying to figure it out just believe it I'm a son of God I'm a son of God through my faith in Jesus Christ just believe it quit trying to say well this
[00:18:30] christmas says i'm a son of god but i got the first of all uh get right you want right when he saved you just believe i'm a son of god just believe i'm parts of the family just believe that
[00:18:49] my belief in jesus christ makes me a child of god makes me a son of god makes me the righteousness of god i am that is my identity that is my identity who are you i'm a child of god son of
[00:19:02] god righteous of god redeemed of god holy of god perfected of god that's who i am you want to know who I am that's who I am and the devil tries to say now define yourself by your behavior
[00:19:12] now that changes well I'm a bad person I'm rejected I ain't no good I'm you got to trust God God is saying listen if you just receive this gift I'll take care of the behavior but you won't
[00:19:29] you won't believe it enough before you go and you mess up and do something and you say all right I yesterday I believe I was a son but I just I just ain't no way in the world I can be a son you
[00:19:38] don't understand the system what God has set up is identity first then behavior lines up with it why do you think the devil was so so bent on attacking the behavior of Adam and the uh the uh
[00:19:53] the identity of Adam and Eve and then he even attacked he attacked the identity of Jesus if thou be the son of God he knew exactly who Jesus was if you're the son of God let me see
[00:20:11] if you'll behave like the son of God. Turn these stone into bread. Jesus looked at the stone. He's like, no problem. I can do that. But if I do that, then I'm going to be questioning in doubt whether
[00:20:28] or not I'm a son of God. I know what I can do and I know who I am, but I ain't got to prove nothing to you. And so what happens is if you say you're a son of God in the face of people who know what
[00:20:45] you did know how you were and all that stuff then you're trying to prove to them that you ain't i don't i'm grown i ain't got to prove nothing to you i believe jesus i am a son of god i don't
[00:20:55] care what i did when i did it how i did it i'm not gonna turn it loose my identity i'm not gonna let go of my because if i turn it loose my identity then you're gonna make me start identifying with
[00:21:06] what i do and how i behave let me let me move you know here okay did i read this in the mirror let's go Galatians 3 in the mirror what Jesus Christ believes to be true about you
[00:21:24] is the final confirmation of man's kind redeemed sonship Jesus believes some things about you his faith is the only valid reference to your belief and you know he has faith in he has faith in your identity let's read that again the big issue today is who you've been thinking you are
[00:21:54] what Jesus Christ believes to be true about you is the final confirmation of mankind's redeemed sonship let me read it again what Jesus Christ believes to be true about you is the final confirmation of man's kind redeemed sonship he believes this thing about you next verse
[00:22:14] next area his faith is the only valid reference to your belief you know what he's saying because Jesus believes it I believe it so the first root to grace-based prayer is identity not insecurity identity you pray as a son not as a servant trying to earn God's response number two
[00:22:44] the second root of grace-based prayer is union not distance your union with God not distance so most people think well I got to do this so to reach God I tell you you don't have to do that
[00:23:05] you don't have to scream you don't have to holler you ain't got to look up like he up there somewhere he ain't up there no he ain't up there somewhere he is united with you you and him
[00:23:24] he in you. Well, I don't feel like my prayer got past my nose. It didn't have to get past nothing.
[00:23:32] He's there. Listen to me now. Union, not distance. What does that mean? Grace-based prayer doesn't beg heaven to come down. I'm not begging for heaven to come down. Oh Lord, if you can stop by just a little while. He moved in. He is permanent residence. You are his new address.
[00:24:05] So I'm like, where God? Here. I brought him with me this morning. See, I know the Holy Ghost is here because you're here. See, you're having a hard time because you're questioning your identity.
[00:24:21] It acknowledges Christ already lives in you. This union acknowledges that Christ already lives in you now look at colossus 127 king james and then mirror colossus 127 king james and then mirror all right now look at these scriptures guys to whom god would make known what is the riches of
[00:24:45] the glory of this mystery among the gentiles which is christ in you the hope of glory christ is where and that's the hope of manifestation in your life every manifestation comes from that union All right, look at this in the mirror. Within us, God is delighted to exhibit the priceless treasure of his glorious unveiling of Christ indwelling, Christ indwelling, Christ is indwelling, Christ is in you.
[00:25:29] say say Christ is in me say Christ dwells in me of Christ in dwelling in order that every person on the planet whoever they are may now come to the greatest discovery of all time
[00:25:50] and recognize Christ in them as in a mirror he is a desire of the nations and come completes their every expectation. Christ is in them. Christ is in you. Just like you see your image when you
[00:26:12] stand in front of a mirror, Christ is in you. That has to become something you deal with. But Satan helps out with the bad behavior so you can continue to struggle with Christ in you. Christ
[00:26:27] is in you the greatest discovery of all times Christ is in you the mystery Christ is in you you don't wake up in the morning trying to find Christ you wake up in the morning with the
[00:26:45] assurance and you open your mouth and say father thank you that you're in me thank you Lord that I'm one with you you wake up with an awareness of Christ not where is Christ an awareness of Christ
[00:27:04] here's the third root my god my god sometimes I wish I had two hours to just sew it in you sew it in you sew it in you sew it in you number three response that's the third root response to
[00:27:27] his faithfulness not a performance to earn his attention I'm responding to what he's already done his faithfulness I am not performing to try to earn his attention you got his attention he in you you got his attention you're trying to somehow earn you're trying to perform to earn his attention
[00:27:52] you have his attention but you're still trying to earn it and so you wake up or you come to church and say now what can I do to earn his attention okay if I pray 30 more minutes I can earn his
[00:28:08] attention okay if I'm really nice I can earn his attention and this is the part I love when people go out and do work and they brag about good work so they can earn his attention you know what you
[00:28:21] keep you know this is the message you keep sending to heaven i don't believe you i don't believe you god oh lord in the name of jesus i'm gonna do this and i'm gonna do that i'm gonna do all of that so
[00:28:34] i can earn your attention i'm gonna do all of that so i can try to finish what you said you finished but i don't believe you you with all of the religious movement with all of the managing
[00:28:47] of your managing your bad behavior you still don't believe it he said you're right you're like no i'm not yet he says you're heaven bound you're seated with me in heaven's places one day i'm i'm i'm on nine and a half won't do i'm gonna do my best to to get to heaven you know this train
[00:29:09] is a holy train, this train. If you ain't holy, you ain't going to get on this train. I've been on this train. I'm on this train because I received what he told me. He said Jesus has
[00:29:23] been made unto me holy. When I got born again, I got everything Jesus was made unto me. I am not working up to try to get what Jesus has already done for me. I am putting on what Jesus has already
[00:29:35] done for me. So what's the struggle you're doing right now? It's the religious mindset that you wear that is robbing you of control of you being able to earn and accomplish it. Jesus has done it.
[00:29:57] He said to these boys who saw the miracle of the bread and the fish, they said, we want to do miracles do Jesus said listen here's what I want you to do here's the only thing I want you to do
[00:30:10] believe in the one that I sent you we can't do it we're still looking for how we can earn and we keep sending this signal up to heaven I don't believe you I don't believe you I don't
[00:30:26] believe you but we come to church and say I believe him when you're having a good day but then when you have a bad day you flush everything down the toilet that you thought you were in a good day I'm talking about when you don't mess up like crazy can you get up and say
[00:30:45] I'm the righteousness of God most of you won't most of you will think that's hypocritical most of you won't do it because you don't believe what Jesus has done but we come to church and
[00:30:59] put our church clothes on and we don't believe not a bit you pray like you don't believe it you do everything like you don't believe in who are you well i'm a sinner saved by grace
[00:31:13] well which one are you a sinner or saved because if you're saved you're no longer a sinner because if you get saved and you're still a sinner why you gotta say you ask me well who am i i'll tell
[00:31:29] you i'm a saint i'm a holy one and first thing you want to do is measure what i said by how i behave or how you think i ought to behave but the behavior is not in the equation jesus is the
[00:31:40] equation and jesus said this is who i am look at second peter chapter one verse three the first in the new king james and then the mirror grace-based prayer isn't trying to twist god's arm it flows
[00:32:08] from confidence that he already gave us everything in christ he already gave me everything in christ i'm i'm responding to his faithfulness he's been so faithful he's already given me everything in christ i don't have to twist god's arm i go to places sometimes and i see the twisting and i
[00:32:30] just kind of sit there so they think i'm in the flesh because i'm not twisting with them this ain't chubby checker what you're talking about i'm not twisting with you i don't have to twist
[00:32:42] god's arm and then some will equate that to arrogance i'm not being arrogance i i i believe what he said i believe what he said he finished i don't need to twist god's arm whatever i'm trying
[00:32:55] to twist his arms for i i've probably already been gifted with it and so i just need to just stay rooted in my identity stay rooted in his faithfulness to have done what he's what he's
[00:33:11] done stay rooted in the finished works of jesus and when the time comes and he ready for it whatever will show up the issue is you try to treat god like some kind of slot machine
[00:33:27] You want it you want him to do what he you want him to do what you want him to do when you want him to do It and he that ain't how that work. He knows all the things that's got to be in place
[00:33:39] Before you show up with your wiring to do what needs to be done, but you won't trust him He i'm gonna take care of you. I'm gonna do what needs to be done. But you you like god. Here's what I want
[00:33:48] Follow me. There's no yielding follow me We talked about willpower versus yield power and we we think we can encompass things by willpower being determined all being I'm gonna make this happen that's not sustainable because whatever you got through
[00:34:04] willpower whatever that that determination is going to go away he's simply saying just trust me because willpower is of the flesh don't trust the mind the arm of the flesh and we we we glorify
[00:34:17] willpower I'll teach on that later I will promise you I'll teach on that later willpower is a false type of lie that tells you with just willpower and even the bible says in romans chapter 7 to
[00:34:36] will is present with you but to be able to break it make it happen you don't know how i hope i lost everybody some of y'all looking at me like second peter chapter one and three i thought i
[00:35:00] was gonna finish this today it ain't gonna happen second peter one and three um new king james and in the mirror as his divine power has is that the beginning second peter chapter one and three
[00:35:19] as yeah there you go grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of god and of jesus christ as his divine power hath has given unto us all things that pertain to life
[00:35:38] and godliness we already have all things that to that pertain to living i don't know any other way you can pray if he said i have already given you all things that pertain to life and godliness
[00:35:55] there's got to be some thanksgiving in in there there's got to be some continuous alignment in there i'll show you where tongues come in in a minute through the knowledge of him who called us
[00:36:09] by glory and virtue now look at this in the mirror by his divine engineering he he gifted us listen to this you're gifted God has gifted you with salvation you didn't earn it he gifted you
[00:36:31] with righteousness didn't do nothing for it he gifted you with sanctification didn't do nothing for it he gifted you with redemption didn't do nothing for it he gifted you with healing didn't do none for it he gifted you with with the completeness you're completing him didn't do
[00:36:45] none for it everything he gifted you with faith that's not your faith it's his faith that you now call your faith but it's his faith he gifted you with his faith he gifted you with his grace
[00:36:54] he gifted you with his mercy he gifted you with everything how you trying to do anything well what do we do you get an alignment with the giftings i am screaming i apologize by his divine engineering he gifted us with all that it takes to live life to the full
[00:37:25] he's already gifted us with everything we need to live life in the full now here's the thing through comparison you're trying to change your wiring he's gifted you to live life in the full but you want to be like that person and you want to be like this person because you hadn't discovered
[00:37:44] who you are so now you're trying to come be like everybody else and whoa how come social media now It's got all the influences. You want to be like them. You want to be like them. And you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're settling, man.
[00:37:56] You're settling for for the for the least, dude. It's like you're settling for to be like somebody else while you're ignoring your your original your original blueprint.
[00:38:09] You're ignoring your original, your original you, the reason why you're here, the reason why you're wired instead of seeking to discover who you are by going to God and say, Lord, whatever you want to do for me today, do it.
[00:38:22] And then through a series of, Lord, whatever you want to do for me today, you'll start noticing what you're doing, what God is having you doing.
[00:38:28] And you're going to identify your wiring, going to identify your purpose and everything that he's made available to you in order for you to live your life in full.
[00:38:37] He's already made yourself made it about it's not gonna be right for God to say I put you to do this and I make Everything available to you to be able to do that Like you got to go and get everything together first
[00:38:52] Because he's already designed a curriculum for you to go through to prepare you But you don't want to go through that Curriculum you just want to seek what's comfortable You just want to seek what you want to see you want to be like that influencer that influence you want to be like this
[00:39:07] You want to be like that and you haven't even yet got to know who you are or to appreciate who you are Because somebody rejected you one day and you bought the lie that i'm not enough and you've been you've been rocking with that for a
[00:39:19] While i'm not enough i'm not enough i'm not enough and god's like not only are you enough you have enough to do everything I put you to do but you're not seeing that because you got involved in competitive jealousy and now you're competing
[00:39:31] With somebody else's blueprint. That's not yours. That's not your fingerprint. That's not who you are You need to be, Lord, show me who I am and what you want me to do in my life.
[00:39:42] And some of it may take a lot of money.
[00:39:44] Some of it might not take a lot of money.
[00:39:46] Some of it might take having this.
[00:39:48] Some of it may not take having this.
[00:39:49] Some of this might take transportation to get you in the world.
[00:39:52] Some of it may not.
[00:39:52] You need to find out who you are.
[00:39:54] But whoever you are, you will be successful because God has already given you everything you need to live this life.
[00:40:05] Hey, you don't believe me?
[00:40:15] You don't believe it because you don't know what you're supposed to do right now.
[00:40:19] Talk to Moses.
[00:40:22] Talk to David.
[00:40:24] Still out there with them stinking sheep.
[00:40:32] You can't be afraid of the quiet time.
[00:40:37] You can't be afraid of those quiet moments, those quiet seasons.
[00:40:42] But you keep trying to be like what God don't want you to be.
[00:40:49] And that's why you can't find a lot of money.
[00:40:54] Because money reveals mammon.
[00:40:58] And mammon is the spirit that will lead you from your path.
[00:41:01] and you won't know it till you get there and when you get there you're like this don't feel like i thought it would feel because there's something about when you finally when you get to where god
[00:41:11] wants you to be honey it's gonna be everything you thought it would be and and plus and plus it's gonna be everything you thought but you keep trying to be like what you not meant to be
[00:41:22] and so we got all of these echoes going around here we ain't got no real word we got a bunch of echoes just easy to echo you just saying what you heard somebody else saying and God got a word in
[00:41:39] there for you but you ain't paying no attention to it because you want to be like that echo and that echo a bunch of parrots coming to church and saying amen about stuff that and you ignore
[00:41:51] the plan for your life oh yeah and then to impress us all you tell us how long you prayed this morning and that's a sign to me that it's almost like it's almost like the guy that's working 20 hours a day
[00:42:16] and the money's already in the bank he obviously hadn't checked his deposit slip that's what you're doing when you're you're bragging about the time you spent with the lord as if that end is an
[00:42:28] indication of your spirituality i think it's the indication of your ignorance when it takes you 20 hours to pray i guarantee you i can do it in a couple minutes i'm done you got to learn how to
[00:42:44] value of short prayers. Why? Because the prayer shouldn't be a moment in the day. Oh, it ought to be all day. It ought to be. You're praying as you walk with him. Oh Lord, I thank you that I'm
[00:43:01] not going to fall today. Thank you, Jesus, that I'll have the wisdom. You gave me the wisdom. I thank you. I have the wisdom to do what needs to be done today. Thank you, Lord, that whatever
[00:43:11] happens today i am the righteousness of god created in christ jesus oh god i praise you that i'm holy i ain't gotta gotta put a collar on ain't gotta get no long dress to put on i'm already holy
[00:43:22] thank you lord i'm holy which means i'm i'm i'm not i'm not common with the world because if you common with everybody else you ain't you don't know what holy is so i understand why people are freaking out what that's the crap they're talking about
[00:43:48] And so while they've been talking about me and slandering me, I've been in the kitchen cooking this stuff for the last 12, 13 years.
[00:44:00] Oh, if you could see what's been coming out of the oven.
[00:44:03] Oh, if you could see what's been coming out of the oven, praise the Lord.
[00:44:08] Taff and I were talking about this yesterday, just seeing what's coming out of the oven.
[00:44:15] Because then you'll get your focus on what happened to me.
[00:44:19] And then your prayer would go, if God can do it for pastor, then he can do it for me.
[00:44:24] and we on a whole new we on a whole path that you you trying to get him to do something he did for me and for you you don't understand he what he did he did for all mankind and he's done with it
[00:44:42] he finished what i'm supposed to do you know what i'm supposed to do i know why i'm here it's got to be done in my path and in my life and it is a blessing to know that blessing for you to locate
[00:45:05] the path, all of that zigzagging and behind the railroad tracks and down there and over there and all that. And when you finally get to that path, he'll say, this will take you where you're supposed
[00:45:21] to be. You're ready now. Why all of the detours? Because you won't show up. You won't show up. You won't talk to him. You know, grace is like an onion. It's got layers to it. Then you get one
[00:45:38] layer peeled and you're like I got it unmerited favor are you serious you still stuck at unmerited favor and you you hadn't peeled the next level and the next one and the next one and it keeps
[00:45:48] going deep because it's not it's not it's it's calm down so I can get words it's not a curriculum it's a person his name's Jesus full of grace and truth who's already done everything and when God
[00:46:09] showed me this i'm like okay i think i get it it's finished it's done and my living should be in line with what's already finished and what's done my thinking should be in line with that my renewing
[00:46:22] my mind should be in line with that i'm not renewing my mind so i can come up to what's holy and what's perfect and what's good i'm renewing my mind so i can put it on it's already done he
[00:46:30] said put on the new man he didn't say renew your mind and come up to it put it on and trust that it'll do what it do but but this this this sounds strange because you have been inundated with
[00:46:47] religion striving to try to get God to do something you know what you've been done you have been inundated with I don't believe you it's finished and you're trying to do the five steps to try to
[00:47:01] get something finished he said it's finished leave me you said I don't believe you that's the that's
[00:47:11] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_07]
[00:47:11] the frustration Jesus got these dudes coming right here talking about the scriptures and the scriptures and Jesus said you think you you think you're gonna be made what he said right because of these scriptures you you think all of the things that you're believing for you
[00:47:29] is because of the scriptures he says these scriptures they talk they talk about me me and he says you don't believe me then he went on down there talking about the what Moses said
[00:47:43] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_10]
[00:47:43] He said what Moses wrote was about me
[00:47:48] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_07]
[00:47:48] You don't believe what Moses wrote you still don't believe me
[00:47:57] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_08]
[00:47:57] Anything that we can get religious about him And so if you've never heard anything like this point is blowing your mind You will be getting up and walking out soon because you're thinking That sounds strange because you're used to coming to church hearing what you already know
[00:48:15] Something you can scream about and holler about it. Amen, brother. Yes, sir Something you can interrupt me and help me preach about But if you ever get fed up enough With religion that you ask God help me now
[00:48:38] I know what he meant when he said to me that night Will you become a student of grace because it required me becoming a student so I can just stay on this trail for two
[00:48:49] five Six seven eight. It's been almost what 12 13 years stay on that trail and I'll bring it to the to the place Everything I do is about what's already done. I do not start my victory from defeat
[00:49:06] I don't start my victory walk from my defeat. I start my victory walk from victory From the victory jesus gave me and I go from victory to victory. I don't go from defeat to victory. I start off in victory
[00:49:20] But a lot of church folks are still starting off with defeat Oh lord, don't move my mountain, but just give me the strength to climb He said I gave you the strength to tell you to get out your way. In fact, I already moved it
[00:49:35] Why are you still thinking of mountain there?
[00:49:39] Spiritual bipolarism. Why do we state that with a mountain the mountain been gone the mountain been gone Now the fourth root the fourth root the fourth And somebody said we're talking about prayer. Yeah, we're talking about prayer. See the thing your mindset got to change for you can pray, right?
[00:50:06] Number four, here's the fourth root. You got it. You got to rest not strive rest not strive The foundation of grace-based prayer is resting in the finished works. It's not trying to finish what jesus already completed
[00:50:19] It's resting in the finished works. It's resting in the finished works The foundation for grace-based prayer is is is rest. I don't sweat when i'm praying grace-based prayers I am resting in in a in a confidence that what I am praying is done. Hallelujah
[00:50:36] I'm, just aligning myself up with it. That's what happens when I pray in tongues praying praying in tongues nourishes my identity and all that Jesus has done. Building yourself on your most holy faith.
[00:50:51] What's my most holy faith? It's finished. And I pray in tongues. Somebody said, what's happening?
[00:51:00] Is he getting ready to make something happen? No, I am building myself in alignment with what's already happened. I'm more confident about it. I'm more strong about it. Oh, you can't knock me down.
[00:51:11] you can't make me doubt and if that does come i'm gonna pray in tongues build myself up in the finish build myself up in this alignment and that praying in tongues is an overflow of the gift of
[00:51:32] the holy spirit it ain't nothing you have to qualify for it ain't nothing you got to do but let's take it i should have called that message the message today i don't believe look at hebrews
[00:51:55] 4 verse 3 king james and then mirror hebrews 4 and verse 3 king james and mirror and then i'm gonna get some practical things which is all right so pastor how we do this verse 3 for we which have
[00:52:09] believed all right just a test just a test how many of you say i am the one that believed i believe i believe okay great all right he says then you ought to be at rest what you mean at
[00:52:29] rest well what's what's going on in your life what attacks are you having what lacks are you looking at what's going on in your relationships he said there'll be the temptation to panic but you're
[00:52:44] going to be laboring to stay at rest staying at rest because you believe it's finished as he said as i have sworn look at look at listen to god's heart here as i have sworn in my wrath if they
[00:52:57] shall enter into my rest although the works were finished from the foundation of the world can i get them to enter into my rest can i get them to enter into alignment with what's already done and
[00:53:17] what's already finished look at this in the mirror translation faith not willpower realizes our immediate access into God's rest. Hear the echo of God's cry through the ages. Look at this.
[00:53:39] Oh, if only they would enter into my rest. Hear that cry. Put everybody that's trying to work to five principles. Oh, if they could just enter into my rest. Hear that cry to everyone that's
[00:53:56] trying to get God to do something he's already done. Oh, if they could just enter into my rest.
[00:54:01] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_07]
[00:54:01] hear that cry with every person that falls dead when healing was available oh if they could just
[00:54:08] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_08]
[00:54:08] enter into my rest hear that cry when there's lack and and and and and you need provisions
[00:54:16] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_07]
[00:54:16] and he says oh if they if they could just enter into my rest so we go with the next religious
[00:54:28] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_08]
[00:54:28] thing as we declare boldly before the throne of god i don't believe what i say yourself i don't believe it his rest if you really enter into his rest celebration becomes the evidence his rest celebrates perfection his work is complete the fall of mankind did oh this is strong
[00:55:03] oh jesus the fall of mankind did not flaw its perfection the fall of mankind didn't didn't there's no flaw in the finished works of Jesus because mankind fell. There's no flaw in righteousness because mankind fell. It's still perfect and ready for you. I've been spending
[00:55:41] the last couple of months learning the vocabulary of silence. Again, I remember reading about what Jesus did when he came here. They just like, you remember the scripture that says don't frustrate the grace of God Jesus was frustrated at several times like dang did you hear what I just said
[00:56:14] I'm just learning how to be quiet and I'm learning how to allow my voice to be used for those who believe and who want it it's amazing to me people who are not saved they thought they thought
[00:56:33] God threw them away God didn't throw you away you know the difference between you who are saved and you who are not saved? Here's the difference. You're no longer blind to who you are, and they
[00:56:47] are, but we've measured it based on behavior and not identity. That's the only difference.
[00:56:56] They're not acting a fool at the club because they don't know who they are.
[00:57:00] You at home wishing you was acting a fool in the club, but you don't because you know who you are.
[00:57:11] You tell yourself, you tell yourself, that ain't me no more because you know who you are.
[00:57:19] there may be certain things you you well i know it ain't me no more but i sure had a good time when i was doing you you don't know who you are how do you condemn somebody to hell because they just
[00:57:32] don't know who they are that's why the ministry of reconciliation exists so i guess what i'm trying to do today is begin the next phase of people migrating from world changes church it starts today i cannot not teach this because when you start cooking this and you wake up one day and
[00:58:10] your whole desires change and you don't want that no more and you don't want that no more and you want this and you want that and then the blessings things show up and you're like where
[00:58:20] did that come from and you realize you didn't put the effort to do it you just trusted in your union with him and life starts flowing freely and uninterrupted because of your union with him
[00:58:33] you finally realize you are a branch he's the vine and he starts putting stuff on your branch that you didn't have nothing to do with it and now you're displaying the fruit of the spirit
[00:58:44] you're displaying love you ain't trying to trying to walk in love you're not trying to cultivate love you're displaying it because you put love on and trusted him to bring love on your branch where the money coming in at it wherever you need it it'll show up and you ain't got the sweat to
[00:59:07] get it and you ain't got to cheat to get it and you ain't got to do all the stuff to get it. God takes care of you because you connected with divine. Your connection, your union with divine
[00:59:16] is your most valuable asset. Your union with God, your nearness with God. You know that he lives in me and I live in him. You know I rest because he's there. You rest because you know where he at.
[00:59:27] You know where he is. He's there. He's in you. Glory to God. You in him. You live by the faith of the son of God you're no longer living by your own manufactured faith you have a relationship
[00:59:38] with Jesus and Jesus takes care of you and all is well and all is well and when you see stuff that didn't come to pass you say well maybe that wasn't for me and you go on and be a blessing to somebody
[00:59:49] anyway you don't get mad at God and leave God and don't pray no more and don't come to church no more and don't give no more because God didn't give you the car you pray for you mean to tell
[01:00:00] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_11]
[01:00:00] mean your faith is only big enough for a car it's about a relationship relationship god i want you
[01:00:14] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_08]
[01:00:14] it's my relationship i want you because when you die and you leave here naked like you came here naked the only thing that's gonna matter is did you believe did you believe i said i believe no
[01:00:40] did you believe did you believe enough that it gave you peace to sleep at night in the midst of all of the stuff that was going on i don't know why that and i don't know why that and i don't
[01:00:56] know why this and you might be crying a little bit but i believe you lord i believe you i believe you like me i believe you like me i believe you like me enough to take care of me i'm talking
[01:01:21] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_07]
[01:01:21] just like college partner we we got our agenda and we're ignoring gods when we get to heaven
[01:01:42] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_08]
[01:01:42] It's gonna blow your mind. It ain't nothing like what you heard. You just think sure that some People day they didn't make it ain't no way they gonna make it Who are you to try to determine who gonna make it and who ain't gonna make you just need me listen you
[01:02:02] What I used to tell the story there are three things you're gonna see when you number one You're gonna see people in heaven that you didn't think we're gonna make it And then you're gonna look around try to figure out where such and so such a and then you look and say, oh my god
[01:02:17] I made it and that need to be your only concern you and see you you don't need to be Making heaven when you pass You need to settle that finished now The Bible says we are seated
[01:02:38] Those of us who believe we are already Ella book or oh, yeah, I'll finish out. I'm that we are all ready ready seated with him in heavenly places never got to be concerned about my eternal destination
[01:03:01] once i leave this house i'm in his house i'm seated with him in heavenly places in christ jesus because i'm in christ jesus i'm in heavenly places i'm not gonna die in fear sweating oh lord
[01:03:18] here we go oh oh oh not now not now what when it's time to go i'm gonna say see you later i'm fixing to go and sit with him hallelujah i've always believed that i was seated with him
[01:03:38] ah yeah now i'm gonna go sit with him sounds strange don't it because i am unraveling the religious bondage that has captivated your mind well where's the fruit of the spirit well it's in divine well how am i how am i gonna get it stay connected with divine it's the fruit of
[01:04:26] who the spirit is his fruit and his fruit flows into your life our life because of that union i and him he and me he's the vine i'm the branch but you don't believe none of that because tiktok
[01:04:50] didn't say it you don't believe it ladies and gentlemen you are going to die one day i'll be settled then and you think bad behavior causes you to miss heaven well in that case moses ain't there david ain't there and paul show ain't there when the lord told me to
[01:05:46] do a tour to all 50 states i thought huh and then he put this thing on me he says i don't want no more than 500 coming huh well lord and don't get to trying to question god
[01:06:14] He ain't going to sit up there and debate with you.
[01:06:18] Why just 500, God?
[01:06:20] I'm going to go all the way over to, man, Montana.
[01:06:23] And who know me in Montana?
[01:06:28] Yeah, I want you to go to the Dakotas, too.
[01:06:30] I ain't never been to the Dakotas.
[01:06:31] Why?
[01:06:32] I ain't never seen no need to go to the Dakotas.
[01:06:36] I'm a black man from Georgia, South Georgia.
[01:06:39] What I'm going to the Dakotas for?
[01:06:40] Don't nobody know me in no Dakotas.
[01:06:44] And I found out how wrong I was.
[01:06:48] When I said that with the Greggs gang, they said, I'm from Dakota.
[01:06:51] I'm from North Dakota.
[01:06:52] I'm from South Dakota. I said, they got black people up there. They said, yeah, we got some black people up here. Then I go to the meeting and in some of the cities I go to, it's 90%
[01:07:06] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_07]
[01:07:06] whites that show up. I said, well, Lord, what you doing? He said, I ain't never needed a whole
[01:07:13] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_08]
[01:07:13] bunch of people to do what needs to be done. You remember when I reduced the size of the army down to 300? He said, son, I'm trying to get you completely delivered from the metric system,
[01:07:27] the number game the counting game because we think that an indication of godliness is gain in other words if we got a bunch of numbers in attendance a bunch of numbers in finances a bunch
[01:07:44] of numbers in this then we must be we must be uh something must be good about us something must be righteous about us because of numbers you don't want to fall into that trap the bible says godliness plus contentment equals great gain contentment is you totally relying on
[01:08:08] jesus as your source of supply godliness and contentment not godliness in big numbers because there's a difference between growth and swelling swelling comes as a result of injury
[01:08:33] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_11]
[01:08:33] i just said lord let thy will be done and somebody asked me they said well what if you get
[01:08:47] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_08]
[01:08:47] to a place and ain't but three people showed up i said well jesus went out of his way for one woman
[01:08:53] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_11]
[01:08:53] you know what's going on these meetings these people are starting churches
[01:09:00] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_08]
