Most Christians believe that God can do anything, and many believe that He has made promises to heal, deliver, bless, and prosper His children. But these same believers may find themselves unable to reconcile the Word with what they experience. They live in frustration or disillusionment, wondering why God’s promises don’t seem to be working for them. But God is no respecter of persons (Rom. 2:11). What He has done for one, He’s done for all.

>> WELCOME TO GOSPEL TRUTH
WITH ANDREW WOMMACK,
A TEACHING MINISTRY
THAT FOCUSES ON GOD’S
>> UNCONDITIONAL
LOVE AND GRACE.
> FAITH ONLY APPROPRIATES
WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY PROVIDED
BY GRACE.
IF GRACE HASN’T PROVIDED IT,
YOUR FAITH DOESN’T MAKE GOD
> DO ANYTHING.
>> ONCE I LEARNED
THAT I ALREADY HAD EVERYTHING
THAT GOD WAS EVER GOING TO
GIVE ME,
EVERYTHING JUST STARTED
>> COMING INTO PLACE.
> AND NOW, HERE’S ANDREW.
WELCOME TO OUR FRIDAY’S
BROADCAST OF THE GOSPEL TRUTH.
ALL OF THIS WEEK
I’VE BEEN TEACHING ON A SUBJECT
THAT I’VE ENTITLED:
YOU’VE ALREADY GOT IT,
AND THIS IS ACTUALLY
AN APPLICATION OF THE TEACHING
ON WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST.
I CALL THAT SPIRIT, SOUL & BODY,
AND THIS IS JUST AN APPLICATION,
THAT IN THE SPIRIT
WE’VE ALREADY HAD
JESUS PRODUCE
EVERYTHING,
AND THAT HIS FULNESS LIVES
ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
YOU DON’T NEED TO ASK
FOR MORE OF GOD.
YOU DON’T NEED TO ASK
FOR MORE FAITH.
YOU DON’T NEED TO ASK
FOR HEALING.
YOU DON’T NEED TO ASK
FOR WISDOM.
YOU’VE ACTUALLY GOT
ALL OF THESE THINGS.
YOU NEED TO DRAW OUT
WHAT IS ALREADY IN YOU.
AND SOMEBODY MIGHT SAY,
WELL, WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE
WHETHER I’VE ALREADY GOT IT
OR WHETHER I HAVE TO GO GET IT?
THE THING IS THAT UNTIL I DO
SOMETHING
IT’S NOT GOING TO MANIFEST
IN MY LIFE.
IT IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN TRYING TO GET GOD
TO DO SOMETHING
AND THEN JUST BELIEVING
THAT HE’S DONE IT
AND YOU RECEIVE IT.
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU STOP
AND THINK ABOUT IT,
IF YOU GET INTO THIS MINDSET
THAT I’VE GOT TO GET GOD
TO MOVE,
I’VE GOT TO GET HIM TO HEAL ME,
TO PROSPER ME, TO BLESS ME,
HOW DO YOU FORCE GOD
TO DO ANYTHING?
AND BASICALLY THIS IS
WHAT RELIGION IS ALL ABOUT
IS HOW TO GET GOD TO MOVE.
HOW TO GET
SOMETHING FROM GOD.
HOW TO, YOU KNOW…
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
THEY WOULD GRAB HOLD
OF THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR
AND JUST PRAY AND BEG GOD,
AND THIS IS, IN A SENSE,
WHAT PEOPLE DO.
THEY GRAB HOLD OF THE HORNS
AND JUST SHAKE IT
UNTIL GOD COMES OUT.
IT IS SO MUCH EASIER
TO JUST RE…EXCUSE ME,
REST IN WHAT GOD
HAS ALREADY DONE.
GOD HAS ALREADY PROVIDED
EVERYTHING, AND THE VERSE
THAT I WAS USING YESTERDAY
IN EPHESIANS, CHAPTER 1, SAYS,
BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER
OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
WHO HATH, PAST TENSE,
ALREADY BLESSED US
WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS
IN HEAVENLY PLACES
IN CHRIST JESUS.
YOU DON’T NEED
GOD TO BLESS YOU.
WHEN YOU GOT BORN AGAIN,
YOU WERE BLESSED
WITH EVERYTHING
THAT HE HAS AND IS.
THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD
DWELLS IN YOU BODILY,
COLOSSIANS, CHAPTER 2, VERSE 9.
THAT’S ACTUALLY SAYING THAT
IN CHRIST
DWELLS THE FULNESS
OF THE GODHEAD BODILY.
AND THEN VERSE 10, SAYS,
WE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM.
SINCE THE FULNESS
OF THE GODHEAD
DWELLS IN JESUS
AND JESUS DWELLS IN US,
THEN WE HAVE THE FULNESS
OF THE GODHEAD
DWELLING IN US BODILY.
SO YOU DON’T NEED GOD
TO DO MORE.
YOU NEED TO BELIEVE THAT
YOU ALREADY ARE BLESSED,
AND MAN, THIS IS THE REST
OF THIS TEACHING.
I’LL BE GOING THROUGH THIS
IN MORE DETAIL,
BUT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE IT
DOESN’T MEAN IT’S AUTOMATICALLY
GOING TO MANIFEST ITSELF.
THERE’S THINGS YOU HAVE TO
LEARN.
LIKE ONE OF THOSE THINGS
IS THAT THE POWER OF GOD
IS VOICE ACTIVATED.
YOU HAVE TO SPEAK FORTH
YOUR FAITH.
PSALMS, CHAPTER 91,
I WILL SAY OF THE LORD
HE IS MY REFUGE
AND MY FORTRESS.
GOD WANTS TO BE
EVERYBODY’S REFUGE
AND FORTRESS,
BUT NOT EVERYBODY
IS RECEIVING THAT.
NOT EVERYBODY IS SAYING IT.
NOT EVERYBODY IS COOPERATING
WITH WHAT GOD IS DOING.
BUT MAN, IT MAKES
ALL THE DIFFERENCE
WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT I’VE ALREADY GOT IT.
GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN ME
EVERYTHING THAT PERTAINS
UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS,
THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM
THAT HAS CALLED ME
TO GLORY AND VIRTUE.
2 PETER, CHAPTER 1,
VERSE 3.
SO AGAIN,
EPHESIANS, CHAPTER 1, VERSE 3,
BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER
OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
WHO HATH BLESSED US
WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS
IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST.
ACCORDING AS HE HATH CHOSEN US
IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION
OF THE WORLD,
THAT WE SHOULD BE HOLY
AND WITHOUT BLAME BEFORE HIM
IN LOVE.
NOTICE THAT HE HATH CHOSEN US.
THERE’S A LOT OF CHRISTIANS
THAT HAVE THIS ATTITUDE THAT
OH GOD, I KNOW
YOU BLESS PEOPLE.
I KNOW YOU USE PEOPLE.
WOULD YOU PLEASE USE ME?
OH, GOD, PLEASE CHOOSE ME,
CHOOSE ME.
AND THEY’RE JUST BEGGING GOD.
I KNOW THAT WHEN I FIRST
GOT TURNED ON TO THE LORD,
I HAD A BURNING DESIRE
ON THE INSIDE OF ME
TO SHARE THE THINGS
THAT HE HAD DONE IN MY LIFE
WITH EVERYBODY.
AND I USED TO JUST PRAY
ALL OF THE TIME, OH GOD, USE ME;
GOD, USE ME.
AND ONE DAY THE
LORD SPOKE TO ME
AND HE SAYS, I’LL USE YOU
AS SOON AS YOU GET USABLE.
HE SAYS, QUIT PRAYING,
GOD, USE ME,
AND PRAY, GOD MAKE ME USABLE.
AND…AND THEN IT DAWNED ON ME
THAT THE ONLY REASON
I HAD A DESIRE
FOR GOD TO USE ME,
WAS BECAUSE GOD’S THE ONE
THAT PUT THAT DESIRE
ON THE INSIDE OF ME.
IF A PERSON JUST ON THEIR OWN,
NOBODY IS…
IS WANTING GOD TO USE THEM
BECAUSE OF THEIR CARNAL FLESH,
BECAUSE OF THEIR SINFUL
HUMAN NATURE.
THAT IS A GODLY THING
AND GOD IS THE ONE
THAT PUTS THAT DESIRE IN THERE.
IF YOU HAVE A DESIRE
FOR REVIVAL,
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG GOD
TO GIVE YOU REVIVAL.
IT’S GOD THAT PUT THAT DESIRE
FOR REVIVAL ON THE INSIDE
OF YOU.
AND INSTEAD OF YOU SAYING,
OH GOD, USE ME;
OH GOD, SEND REVIVAL
AND ALL OF THESE THINGS,
JUST LEARN WHAT YOU HAVE.
LEARN TO COOPERATE.
START FLOWING WITH HIM,
AND AS THE POWER OF GOD
FLOWS THROUGH YOU,
YOU’LL HAVE ALL THE REVIVAL
YOU CAN HANDLE.
GOD WILL USE YOU
UNTIL YOU LITERALLY
DON’T HAVE TIME TO EAT.
YOU DON’T HAVE TIME
FOR ANYTHING.
I MEAN, YOU’LL HAVE TO PRAY
AND SAY, OH GOD,
GIVE ME SOME TIME OFF,
AMEN?
I’VE EXPERIENCED THAT.
SO ANYWAY,
HE HATH CHOSEN US IN HIM
BEFORE THE FOUNDATION
OF THE WORLD…
NOW THIS SHOWS YOU
THAT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH YOU.
GOD CHOSE YOU
BEFORE HE EVER CREATED
THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,
THE WORLD, ANY OF THIS.
GOD HAD ALREADY CHOSEN YOU
IN CHRIST.
SOME PEOPLE THINK,
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
WELL, WE WITH OUR FINITE MINDS
DON’T TOTALLY COMPREHEND THIS,
BUT HERE’S THE WAY
THAT I’VE BEEN ABLE
TO ACCEPT THIS IS THAT
GOD CHOSE JESUS
TO BE THE SAVIOR
OF THE WORLD
BEFORE HE EVEN
CREATED THE WORLD
AND BEFORE MEN FELL.
OVER IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
IT TALKS ABOUT THAT.
THERE’S OTHER PLACES THAT
IT SAYS, HE WAS THE LAMB
SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION
OF THE WORLD.
BEFORE MEN EVEN SINNED,
BEFORE ANY OF THIS,
GOD DIDN’T CREATE US
AND THEN WHEN WE SINNED,
HE…HE CAME UP AND SAID,
WELL, I’VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING
TO REDEEM THEM
AND SO HE CAME UP
WITH THIS IDEA OF SALVATION
AND SENDING HIS SON JESUS
TO BE THE PAYMENT FOR OUR SINS
AS A RESPONSE TO OUR SIN.
THAT’S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.
GOD KNEW THAT
WE WERE GOING TO SIN.
GOD ANTICIPATED ALL OF THIS.
AND BEFORE WE EVER SINNED,
BEFORE THERE WAS EVER A NEED,
GOD HAD ALREADY, IN HIS HEART,
IN HIS MIND,
SLAIN JESUS AS THE LAMB OF GOD
SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION
OF THE WORLD.
AND HE CHOSE THAT
JESUS WOULD BE RAISED
FROM THE DEAD,
BE THE FIRSTBORN
AMONG MANY BRETHREN,
AND THAT ANY PERSON
WHO WOULD PUT FAITH IN JESUS
AND THE PAYMENT
THAT JESUS MADE
FOR OUR SINS
WOULD BE ACCEPTED WITH HIM.
SO, WE WERE CHOSEN
BEFORE THE FOUNDATION
OF THE WORLD IN CHRIST.
IN OTHER WORDS,
HE CHOSE CHRIST
AND ANYBODY WHO CHOOSES JESUS
IS ALSO CHOSEN
BECAUSE WE HAVE BECOME
A PARTAKER OF THAT CALLING.
BUT NOTICE,
ALL OF THIS HAPPENED
BEFORE THE FOUNDATION
OF THE WORLD.
GOD IS NOT RESPONDING TO US.
AND I KNOW
THAT THIS SOUNDS STRANGE
AND PEOPLE THINK,
OH NO, HE RESPONDS
TO THIS PRAYER.
YOU PRAY AND THEN
GOD DOES SOMETHING.
NO, GOD HAS ALREADY CREATED
THE SUPPLY.
LET’S SAY, FOR INSTANCE,
THAT YOU NEED
A FINANCIAL MIRACLE.
DID YOU KNOW THAT GOD,
WHEN YOU PRAY,
ISN’T JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN
RESPONDING TO YOUR PRAYER?
HE HAD ALREADY
MADE THE PROVISION,
HE HAD ALREADY GIVEN YOU
THE POWER TO GET WEALTH,
DEUTERONOMY 8:18,
BEFORE YOU EVER NEEDED
THAT WEALTH.
IT WAS ALL DONE,
AND GOD WAS WILLING AND ABLE
AND READY TO RELEASE HIS POWER,
AND WHEN YOU PRAY IS NOT
WHEN GOD ALL OF A SUDDEN
RESPONDS TO YOU.
BUT YOUR PRAYER
SHOULD BE A RESPONSE TO GOD.
SAYING, GOD, I THANK YOU
THAT JUST LIKE IT SAYS,
YOU’VE…YOU’VE ALREADY
BLESSED ME
WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS,
BUT BOY, MY BANK ACCOUNT
DOESN’T KNOW IT.
MY LANDLORD DOESN’T KNOW IT.
MY GAS TANK IN MY CAR
DOESN’T KNOW IT.
IT’S…THEY’RE EMPTY.
I NEED HELP,
BUT YOU’VE ALREADY
ANTICIPATED THIS.
AND SO NOW FATHER,
I JUST PRAY AND RECEIVE
THIS BLESSING.
SHOW ME WHERE IT IS.
SHOW ME HOW TO GO GET IT.
SHOW ME HOW TO PUT MY HAND
ON THE PROVISION
THAT YOU’VE ALREADY MADE
FOR MY NEED.
AND WHEN YOU GET THAT ATTITUDE,
IT’S NOT GOD RESPONDING TO YOU.
IT’S YOU RESPONDING TO THE FACT
THAT HE’S ALREADY PROVIDED.
NOW, GOD, WHERE IS IT?
YOU KNOW IF YOU COULD IMAGINE
THAT SOMEBODY JUST, YOU KNOW,
PUT A MILLION DOLLARS
IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT,
AND THEN THEY TOLD YOU,
THEY SENT YOU A LETTER
THAT I’VE GOT A MILLION DOLLARS
IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.
YOU DIDN’T EARN IT.
YOU DIDN’T DESERVE IT.
IT WAS JUST A TOTAL GIFT.
BUT EVEN THOUGH
THEY PUT THIS MONEY
IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT,
DID YOU KNOW
IT WOULDN’T PUT GAS IN YOUR CAR?
IT WOULDN’T PUT FOOD
ON YOUR TABLE.
IT WOULDN’T BENEFIT YOU
UNLESS YOU BELIEVE IT’S THERE
AND UNLESS YOU START
WRITING CHECKS ON IT
OR GO AND MAKE A WITHDRAWAL.
YOU COULD HAVE
ALL OF THIS MONEY
IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT,
AND YET IT WOULDN’T DO YOU
ANY GOOD IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW
IT WAS THERE
AND IF YOU NEVER DID ANYTHING.
SO THIS IS, IN A SENSE,
WHAT PRAYER IS.
PRAYER IS NOT SAYING,
OH GOD, GIVE ME.
BUT PRAYER IS SAYING,
FATHER, THANK YOU
THAT YOU’VE ALREADY PROVIDED.
I’VE ALREADY GOT IT NOW.
I AM MAKING A WITHDRAWAL.
I AM GOING TO VOICE ACTIVATE
THIS.
I’M GOING TO SAY THAT
GOD SUPPLIES ALL OF MY NEED
ACCORDING TO HIS
RICHES IN GLORY
BY CHRIST JESUS.
I’M GOING TO GO OUT
AND START THIS BUSINESS.
OR I’M GOING TO GO TO MY JOB
AND I’M GOING TO WORK
LIKE IT’S TO THE LORD
INSTEAD OF TO MEN.
AND YOU’RE DOING THINGS.
BUT YOU AREN’T DOING THINGS
TRYING TO GET A RESPONSE
FROM GOD.
YOU ARE DOING THINGS
IN RESPONSE TO WHAT
GOD HAS ALREADY PROVIDED.
YOU’RE JUST RECEIVING.
AND I KNOW THAT THERE’S PEOPLE
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM SAYS,
YOU ARE JUST DEALING
IN SEMANTICS.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS
IF I DON’T GET OUT AND WORK,
IF I DON’T DO SOMETHING,
IF I DON’T PRAY,
IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
WELL, THAT’S TRUE,
BUT IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
ABOUT, GOD, I AM NOT
MAKING YOU DO THIS.
I’M NOT ASKING YOU TO DO THIS.
I’M THANKING YOU
FOR WHAT YOU’VE ALREADY DONE,
AND NOW I’M GOING TO GO
DO THESE THINGS IN FAITH
BECAUSE OF WHAT
YOU’VE ALREADY PROMISED,
WHAT YOU’VE ALREADY DONE.
NOT TRYING TO GET YOU
TO DO SOMETHING.
THERE’S A DIFFERENCE.
AGAIN, GO BACK TO THAT EXAMPLE
OF PUTTING A MILLION DOLLARS
IN THE BANK ACCOUNT.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE
IT WAS ALREADY DONE
AND SO YOU’RE GOING TO GO
TO THE BANK
AND YOU’RE JUST, BY FAITH,
GOING TO DRAW OUT
A MILLION DOLLARS,
BUT YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW
FOR SURE THAT IT’S THERE,
MAN, YOU’RE GOING TO GET
IN TROUBLE.
YOU’RE GOING TO BE OVERDRAWN.
THEY ARE GOING TO CANCEL
YOUR ACCOUNT AND STUFF.
IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY.
BUT IF YOU KNEW
THAT IT WAS THERE,
THEN YOU MAY STILL HAVE TO GO
TO THE BANK
AND STILL FILL OUT A WITHDRAWAL
TO BE ABLE TO TAP INTO THAT,
BUT IT’S TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
YOU HAVE AN ASSURANCE,
YOU HAVE A CONFIDENCE,
YOU HAVE A PEACE.
YOU ARE RESTING
BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT’S THERE.
YOU AREN’T TRYING TO MAKE IT
BE THERE.
THERE’S A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
THIS IS SAYING THAT
HE HATH CHOSEN US IN CHRIST
BEFORE THE FOUNDATION
OF THE WORLD,
THAT WE SHOULD BE HOLY
AND WITHOUT BLAME
BEFORE HIM IN LOVE.
MAN, I COULD SPEND
ALL OF THIS PROGRAM
TALKING ABOUT THAT ONE VERSE.
I’M GOING TO MOVE ON.
I’M TRYING TO GET WAY…
I’M TRYING TO GET THROUGH
THIS ENTIRE FIRST CHAPTER.
BUT YOU NEED TO MEDITATE
ON THIS.
THIS IS POWERFUL.
IN VERSE 5, IT SAYS,
HAVING PREDESTINATED US…
IN OTHER WORDS,
HE’S NOT GOING
TO PREDESTINATE US.
HE HAS ALREADY
PREDESTINATED US
UNTO THE ADOPTION OF CHILDREN
BY JESUS CHRIST TO HIMSELF,
ACCORDING TO THE
GOOD PLEASURE
OF HIS WILL,
TO THE PRAISE OF THE GLORY
OF HIS GRACE,
WHEREIN HE HATH MADE US
ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED.
HE HATH.
THIS ISN’T SOMETHING THAT
WE ARE TRYING TO BECOME
ACCEPTABLE TO GOD.
AND AGAIN, I BELIEVE THAT
A VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS
ARE SAYING, OH GOD,
I WANT TO PLEASE YOU;
OH GOD, I HOPE THAT
YOU ACCEPT WHAT I’M DOING.
YOU’VE ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED.
IT’S ALREADY DONE.
YOU ARE ALREADY ACCEPTED.
DID YOU KNOW THAT
THE GREEK WORD
THAT WAS TRANSLATED ACCEPTED
IN THIS VERSE IS ONLY USED TWICE
IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE?
THE OTHER TIME IS WHEN
THE ANGEL, GABRIEL,
APPEARED UNTO MARY
IN LUKE, CHAPTER 1, AND SAID,
HAIL, THOU THAT ART
HIGHLY FAVOURED.
THE WORD THAT WAS TRANSLATED
HIGHLY FAVOURED
IS THE EXACT SAME WORD
THAT WAS TRANSLATED ACCEPTED
IN THIS VERSE.
SO THIS IS SAYING
THAT WE HAVE ALREADY
BEEN ACCEPTED.
WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN
HIGHLY FAVORED.
YOU ARE HIGHLY FAVORED.
YOU’RE ALREADY BLESSED BY GOD.
GOD HAS ALREADY BLESSED YOU.
GOD WANTS TO FLOW
THROUGH YOU MORE THAN
YOU WANT HIM
TO FLOW THROUGH YOU.
GOD WANTS TO HEAL YOU
MORE THAN YOU WANT
TO BE HEALED.
HE WANTS TO PROSPER YOU
MORE THAN YOU WANT
TO BE PROSPERED.
HE WANTS YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
TO FUNCTION AND TO SUCCEED
AND FLOURISH
MORE THAN YOU WANT THEM TO.
WE DON’T NEED TO BEG GOD
AND ASK HIM.
WE NEED TO INSTEAD BELIEVE THAT
FATHER, YOU’VE ALREADY
DONE THIS.
NOW I KNOW YOU’RE
GOING TO FLOW
THROUGH ME,
SO IS THERE SOMETHING
YOU WANT ME TO DO OR SAY
IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS
HEALING MANIFEST,
TO MAKE THESE
FINANCES MANIFEST,
TO MAKE THIS RELATIONSHIP WORK?
HE IS GOING TO
FLOW THROUGH YOU,
BUT IT JUST TAKES
ALL OF THE STRAIN OUT OF IT
WHEN YOU AREN’T TRYING
TO GET GOD TO BLESS YOU.
HE’S ALREADY BLESSED YOU.
YOU’RE ALREADY ACCEPTED.
YOU ARE ALREADY HIGHLY FAVORED.
IN VERSE 7,
IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION…
THIS ISN’T SAYING THAT
YOU CAN HAVE REDEMPTION.
IF YOU PRAY HARD,
HE MIGHT GIVE YOU REDEMPTION.
NO, WHEN YOU RECEIVE JESUS
AS YOUR LORD, YOU ALREADY
HAVE REDEMPTION
THROUGH HIS BLOOD,
THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS,
ACCORDING TO THE RICHES
OF HIS GRACE.
SO REDEMPTION HERE IS DEFINED.
REDEMPTION IS THE FORGIVENESS
OF SINS.
YOUR SINS HAVE ALREADY
BEEN FORGIVEN.
MAN, I’VE GOT ANOTHER
GREAT TEACHING ON THIS
ENTITLED: ETERNAL REDEMPTION.
IF YOU MISSED THAT TEACHING
THAT I DID ON
SPIRIT, SOUL & BODY,
I DEALT WITH THIS IN DETAIL.
BUT OUT OF HEBREWS,
CHAPTER 9 AND CHAPTER 10,
THE SCRIPTURE TEACHES THAT
ALL OF YOUR SINS,
PAST, PRESENT,
AND EVEN FUTURE SINS;
THE SINS THAT YOU HAVEN’T EVEN
COMMITTED YET
HAVE ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR
AND ATONED FOR
AND YOU ARE FORGIVEN OF PAST,
PRESENT, AND FUTURE SINS.
NOW IF YOU HAVEN’T HEARD ME
TEACH ON THAT,
I’M SURE THAT MANY OF YOU THINK
THIS IS HERESY.
BUT MAN, I TAUGHT IT
STRAIGHT FROM THE BIBLE.
I USED DOZENS OF SCRIPTURES.
YOU NEED TO GET THAT TEACHING.
YOU HAVE ALREADY
GOT REDEMPTION,
FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
IN VERSE 8,
WHEREIN HE HATH ABOUNDED
TOWARDS US IN ALL WISDOM
AND PRUDENCE.
NOTICE HE HATH ABOUNDED
TOWARDS US.
NOW LATER IN THIS SAME CHAPTER,
PAUL IS GOING TO ASK GOD
TO GIVE UNTO THESE EPHESIANS
THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM
AND REVELATION
IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM.
SOME PEOPLE MIGHT THINK,
WELL, THAT’S ASKING GOD
TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING.
BUT RIGHT HERE IT SAYS,
HE’S ALREADY GIVEN IT TO US.
SO ACTUALLY,
WHEN YOU PUT THESE TOGETHER,
IT’S SAYING THAT
GOD IS JUST PRAYING
THAT THE WISDOM
AND THE REVELATION
THAT HE’S ALREADY MADE AVAILABLE
TO US WOULD BEGIN TO FUNCTION.
THAT WE WOULD DRAW ON IT
AND BEGIN TO START
UNDERSTANDING
THESE THINGS THAT HE’S ALREADY
TALKING ABOUT.
SO AGAIN, IN VERSE 8,
HE HATH ABOUNDED TOWARDS US
IN ALL WISDOM AND PRUDENCE.
HAVING MADE KNOWN UNTO US
THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL.
NOTICE THAT EVERY ONE
OF THESE VERSES
IS NOT TALKING ABOUT
WHAT IS POSSIBLE,
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN
IN THE FUTURE.
EVERYTHING IS IN THE PAST TENSE.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
IF YOU WERE TO READ
THE BOOK OF EPHESIANS,
THIS WHOLE BOOK OF EPHESIANS
IS WRITTEN FROM THIS STANDPOINT
OF WHAT HAS ALREADY
BEEN ACCOMPLISHED
AND JUST PRAYING THAT
WE WOULD GET A REVELATION
OF WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE.
THE FIRST THREE CHAPTERS
OF EPHESIANS ARE ALL MAKING
THIS POINT.
IT’S ALREADY DONE.
YOU ALREADY HAVE
THE SAME POWER THAT
RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD.
YOU’RE ALREADY QUICKENED,
MADE ALIVE.
YOU’RE ALREADY SAVED.
YOU’RE ALREADY, YOU KNOW,
FORGIVEN AND HE WANTS
TO SHOW THROUGH US
EVEN TO THE PRINCIPALITIES
AND POWERS IN HEAVEN,
THE GREATNESS OF HIS POWER.
ALL OF THESE THINGS
ARE IN THE FIRST THREE CHAPTERS
IT’S ALREADY DONE.
THEN IN CHAPTER 4, 5, AND 6,
SINCE IT’S ALREADY DONE,
THEN HOW SHOULD WE LIVE?
AND IT BASICALLY STARTS
TALKING ABOUT EPHESIANS,
CHAPTER 4, VERSE 17,
DON’T BE LIKE PEOPLE
THAT DON’T KNOW THE LORD,
THAT DON’T HAVE THINGS
ALREADY DONE.
START USING
WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU,
AND THEN IT TELLS YOU
HOW TO LIVE HOLY
AND HOW TO RELATE
TO YOUR HUSBAND AND WIFE,
AND THEN HOW TO RELATE
TO GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE
THAT ARE OVER YOU AND THINGS.
BUT THE BOOK OF EPHESIANS,
ALL OF THESE VERSES
THAT I’M READING ARE…
ARE IN THE PAST TENSE
ABOUT WHAT GOD
HAS ALREADY DONE.
MOST OF US ARE ASKING GOD
TO DO WHAT HE’S ALREADY DONE.
AND THAT JUST DOESN’T WORK.
IT HONORS GOD WHEN YOU SAY,
FATHER, THANK YOU
THAT I AM FORGIVEN.
THANK YOU THAT
I AM ALREADY ACCEPTED.
I AM ALREADY BLESSED.
I ALREADY HAVE WISDOM
AND PRUDENCE.
I ALREADY HAVE BEEN CHOSEN.
YOU’VE CHOSEN ME.
YOU’VE ALREADY GOT A PLAN
FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE.
INSTEAD OF BEGGING GOD,
OH GOD, DO SOMETHING
WITH MY LIFE,
COME AND SAY,
GOD, YOU’VE GOT A PLAN
FOR MY LIFE.
I’M CHOSEN IN YOU
BEFORE THE FOUNDATION
OF THE WORLD.
WHAT IS THAT PLAN?
HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND.
HELP ME TO COOPERATE.
IT’S TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
IN VERSE 9, HE SAYS,
HAVING MADE KNOWN UNTO US
THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL,
ACCORDING TO HIS GOOD PLEASURE
WHICH HE HATH PURPOSED
IN HIMSELF.
SOMEBODY’S SAYING,
BUT I DON’T KNOW THE PLEASURE
OF HIS GOOD WILL.
YOU DO.
IN YOUR SPIRIT,
YOU KNOW ALL THINGS.
1 JOHN, CHAPTER 2, VERSE 20,
YOU HAVE AN UNCTION
FROM THE HOLY ONE,
AND YOU KNOW ALL THINGS.
YOU DON’T KNOW IT
WITH YOUR LITTLE PEANUT-SIZE
BRAIN UP HERE,
BUT IN YOUR SPIRIT,
YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST,
1 CORINTHIANS, CHAPTER 2,
VERSE 16.
AND AS YOU PRAY IN TONGUES,
THE BIBLE SAYS
IT’S YOUR SPIRIT PRAYING,
THE PART OF YOU
THAT HAS THE MIND OF CHRIST,
AND IT SAYS
IN 1 CORINTHIANS, CHAPTER 14,
I BELIEVE VERSE 2,
THAT WHEN YOU’RE PRAYING,
YOU’RE PRAYING
THE HIDDEN WISDOM
OF GOD.
AND THEN 1 CORINTHIANS 14:13,
SAYS, WHEN YOU PRAY IN TONGUES,
PRAY THAT YOU INTERPRET.
SO JUST ASK GOD TO EXPLAIN
TO YOU WHAT YOUR SPIRIT
ALREADY KNOWS.
YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.
YOU KNOW ALL THINGS.
YOU’RE SPEAKING
OUT OF YOUR SPIRIT,
AND NOW JUST ASK GOD
TO INTERPRET IT TO YOU
AND YOU CAN DRAW OUT
THAT KNOWLEDGE.
BUT JUST AS THIS VERSE SAYS,
HE HAS ALREADY GIVEN…
SHOWN US THE MYSTERY
OF HIS WILL.
WE KNOW THE
MYSTERY OF HIS WILL,
ACCORDING TO HIS
GOOD PLEASURE.
IT’S IN THERE.
REVELATION KNOWLEDGE IS THERE,
BUT YOU HAVE TO DRAW IT OUT.
MAN, THESE ARE
POWERFUL TRUTHS.
IN VERSE 10,
THAT IN THE DISPENSATION
OF THE FULNESS OF TIMES
HE MIGHT GATHER TOGETHER
IN ONE ALL THINGS IN CHRIST,
BOTH WHICH ARE IN HEAVEN,
AND WHICH ARE ON EARTH;
EVEN IN HIM:
IN WHOM ALSO WE HAVE OBTAINED.
NOTICE IT’S NOT SAYING
THAT WE CAN OBTAIN.
THAT IF YOU DO EVERYTHING RIGHT
YOU MIGHT OBTAIN.
YOU HAVE OBTAINED
AN INHERITANCE.
YOU’VE ALREADY GOT IT.
IT’S IN YOU.
AND IT’LL GO ON AND SAY THIS.
HE’S PRAYING THAT
THE EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING
SO WOULD BE ENLIGHTENED;
SO THAT YOU COULD SEE
THE EXCEEDING GREATNESS
OF HIS POWER TOWARDS US
WHO BELIEVE.
AND WHAT THIS POWER IS
IN VERSE 18, IT SAYS,
WHAT THE RICHES OF THE GLORY
OF HIS INHERITANCE
IN THE SAINTS.
GOD’S GLORY AND HIS RICHES
AREN’T JUST IN HEAVEN.
HEAVEN IS GOING TO BE A BLAST,
BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT IN YOU…
YOU HAVE ALREADY OBTAINED
AN INHERITANCE.
IT SAYS OVER
IN 2 THESSALONIANS, CHAPTER 2,
THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED
TO THE OBTAINING OF THE GLORY
OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
YOU ALREADY HAVE THE GLORY
OF GOD ON THE INSIDE OF YOU.
AND I KNOW SOME OF YOU
ARE IMMEDIATELY GOING
AND LOOKING IN THE MIRROR
AND SAY, WHERE?
I CAN’T SEE IT.
IT’S NOT IN YOUR BODY.
IT’S NOT IN YOUR MIND,
IN YOUR EMOTIONS.
IT’S IN YOUR SPIRIT.
THE GLORY OF GOD DWELLS IN YOU.
YOU HAVE OBTAINED
AN INHERITANCE,
BEING PREDESTINATED
ACCORDING TO THE
PURPOSE OF HIM
WHO WORKETH ALL THINGS
AFTER THE COUNSEL
OF HIS WILL:
THAT WE SHOULD BE TO THE PRAISE
OF HIS GLORY,
WHO FIRST TRUSTED IN CHRIST.
IN WHOM YE ALSO TRUSTED,
AFTER THAT YOU HEARD
THE WORD OF TRUTH,
THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION:
IN WHOM ALSO
AFTER THAT YOU BELIEVED,
YOU WERE SEALED WITH
THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE.
THIS ISN’T SOMETHING THAT
IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
IT’S SOMETHING
THAT’S ALREADY HAPPENED.
OUR SPIRIT IS BORN AGAIN
IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND TRUE HOLINESS,
EPHESIANS 4:24.
AND THEN ACCORDING
TO THIS VERSE,
WE’RE IMMEDIATELY
VACUUM-PACKED,
WE’RE SEALED SO THAT
THERE IS A SEAL
AROUND YOUR SPIRIT.
AND IF YOU SIN AS A CHRISTIAN,
THAT SIN CAN ENTER INTO
YOUR PHYSICAL BODY
AND GIVE SATAN AN INROAD
WITH SICKNESS AND DISEASE
AND THINGS LIKE THIS.
IT CAN ENTER INTO YOUR MIND
AND EMOTIONS
AND GIVE SATAN AN INROAD
FOR DEPRESSION,
DISCOURAGEMENT,
UNFORGIVENESS,
HURT, BITTERNESS,
ALL THESE THINGS.
BUT IT CAN’T PENETRATE THE SEAL
AROUND YOUR SPIRIT.
YOUR SPIRIT REMAINS RIGHTEOUS
AND TRULY HOLY,
AND IT’S SOMETHING
THAT’S ALREADY DONE.
YOU WERE SEALED
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE.

YOU KNOW,
THE LORD HAS GIVEN ME
A HUGE VISION
AND WE’VE BEEN BLESSED UP
TO THIS POINT,
BUT I’VE STILL GOT SO MUCH
THAT GOD’S LEADING ME TO DO.
I’M BELIEVING GOD
FOR 10,000 NEW PARTNERS.
WE’VE ALREADY GOT OVER
$120 MILLION WORTH OF BUILDINGS
IN JUST THE LAST NINE YEARS,
BUT I’VE GOT AT LEAST
A HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS’ WORTH,
MAYBE 200 MILLION
DOLLARS’ WORTH OF BUILDINGS
STILL IN MY HEART
FOR OUR STUDENTS,
FOR AN ACTIVITY CENTER,
WE’VE GOT A NEW
STUDENT HOUSING
THAT WE’VE GOT
A PRELIMINARY DRAWING OF
THAT IS SHOWING YOU A LITTLE
IDEA OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE.
THIS ONE WOULD HOUSE ABOUT
120 PEOPLE.
OUR OTHERS ARE GOING TO BE
SMALLER WITH MAYBE
SOMEWHERE AROUND
40 PEOPLE PER DORM,
BUT WE NEED THIS
STUDENT HOUSING,
AND WE NEED PEOPLE
TO BECOME PARTNERS.
I’M BELIEVING FOR
10,000 NEW PARTNERS.
I WOULD ASK YOU TO PRAY ABOUT IT
AND IF THE LORD SAYS SO,
JOIN WITH US AND HELP US
CHANGE PEOPLE’S LIVES
THROUGH CHARIS BIBLE COLLEGE.
