00:00:02.340 --> 00:00:04.848
<v ->The word Christian is spelled</v>

2
00:00:04.848 --> 00:00:08.080
C-H-R-I-S-T

3
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:09.830
Christ.

4
00:00:09.830 --> 00:00:14.350
I-A-N, in.

5
00:00:14.350 --> 00:00:17.640
Christ in you.

6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.840
Living his own life through you

7
00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:24.846
without any help or assistance from you.

8
00:00:24.846 --> 00:00:27.770
Because Jesus Christ does not need your help

9
00:00:27.770 --> 00:00:29.640
to be Jesus Christ.

10
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.461
All he needs is your availability.

11
00:00:33.461 --> 00:00:35.660
And what a difference, because soon I learned

12
00:00:35.660 --> 00:00:38.120
that instead of me breaking my neck trying to be good

13
00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:39.320
and trying to be holy

14
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:40.510
and trying to get power

15
00:00:40.510 --> 00:00:43.150
and trying to overcome my identity crisis

16
00:00:43.150 --> 00:00:44.480
and get rid of my sin,

17
00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:46.770
I soon found out that when Jesus Christ

18
00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:48.280
was nailed to the cross

19
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.410
and when He rose again from the dead,

20
00:00:50.410 --> 00:00:55.396
He rose again from the dead to live a new life in me.

21
00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:58.030
You know it's like,

22
00:00:58.030 --> 00:01:00.860
it's like taking a bunch of small, green peas.

23
00:01:00.860 --> 00:01:03.135
Puttin' 'em out on the table

24
00:01:03.135 --> 00:01:06.460
and then deciding that you wanna have split pea soup.

25
00:01:06.460 --> 00:01:10.946
So you get yourself an ax to split the peas, and go.

26
00:01:10.946 --> 00:01:13.980
(exhales)

27
00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:16.774
Hey God, there's go to be an easier way.

28
00:01:16.774 --> 00:01:17.607
(grunts)

29
00:01:17.607 --> 00:01:20.533
And God says there is, why don't you quit trying.

30
00:01:20.533 --> 00:01:21.960
Because what most people do

31
00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:24.120
is they look at their sins and they say,

32
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:25.630
ah, I got hate in my life.

33
00:01:25.630 --> 00:01:27.330
And they go out there to chop away at that hate.

34
00:01:27.330 --> 00:01:29.370
And they bang and bang and bang,

35
00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:31.580
and after about five years they get rid of the hate

36
00:01:31.580 --> 00:01:33.414
only to discover they have jealousy.

37
00:01:33.414 --> 00:01:34.247
(inhales)

38
00:01:34.247 --> 00:01:36.785
And they go over here and bang away at the jealousy.

39
00:01:36.785 --> 00:01:37.618
(groans)

40
00:01:37.618 --> 00:01:39.300
Only to discover that they envy.

41
00:01:39.300 --> 00:01:40.150
Oh my!

42
00:01:40.150 --> 00:01:41.700
And they go through their whole lives

43
00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:43.650
chopping away at sins in their lives,

44
00:01:43.650 --> 00:01:48.637
wearing themselves out.

45
00:01:49.570 --> 00:01:50.800
Or the folks who say, you know

46
00:01:50.800 --> 00:01:53.770
I'm trying real hard to crucify myself

47
00:01:53.770 --> 00:01:56.188
so I can be Christian.

48
00:01:56.188 --> 00:01:59.438
You ever try to crucify yourself?

49
00:01:59.438 --> 00:02:00.620
Try it.

50
00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:04.278
Imagine that there's a cross behind you, okay?

51
00:02:04.278 --> 00:02:06.100
And I got some big spikes and a hammer,

52
00:02:06.100 --> 00:02:09.000
and I'm gonna crucify myself,

53
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.750
so I take the, put my hand up on the cross,

54
00:02:11.750 --> 00:02:14.350
and I take the spikes and I run my hand into it,

55
00:02:14.350 --> 00:02:17.410
and then I nail the spikes into my left hand,

56
00:02:17.410 --> 00:02:22.293
so now I have my left hand nailed to the cross.

57
00:02:28.828 --> 00:02:30.600
Can you explain to me

58
00:02:30.600 --> 00:02:33.350
how with my left hand nailed to the cross,

59
00:02:33.350 --> 00:02:36.075
I'm gonna get the right one up there,

60
00:02:36.075 --> 00:02:38.843
or how I'm gonna nail my feet?

61
00:02:38.843 --> 00:02:42.350
You see, of all the forms of suicide that you can commit,

62
00:02:42.350 --> 00:02:45.486
you can not crucify yourself.

63
00:02:45.486 --> 00:02:48.700
You can shoot yourself, stab yourself, poison yourself,

64
00:02:48.700 --> 00:02:50.780
drown yourself, and with some ingenuity

65
00:02:50.780 --> 00:02:52.770
you can hang yourself.

66
00:02:52.770 --> 00:02:55.950
You can not crucify yourself.

67
00:02:55.950 --> 00:02:59.610
Crucifixion must be performed by an outside party.

68
00:02:59.610 --> 00:03:00.760
Nineteen hundred years ago

69
00:03:00.760 --> 00:03:03.020
when Jesus was nailed to the cross,

70
00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:05.200
the Bible says he took your sin and my sin

71
00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:07.360
and put in up on the cross with him,

72
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.450
so that when Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross

73
00:03:09.450 --> 00:03:14.450
you and I were too, all of our sins.

74
00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:18.060
And once you understand that, then you're on the way

75
00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:19.650
to solving your identity crisis

76
00:03:19.650 --> 00:03:22.660
because then you understand it is the simple process

77
00:03:22.660 --> 00:03:24.330
of coming to Jesus and saying

78
00:03:24.330 --> 00:03:28.250
Lord, I hereby renounce all rights to myself

79
00:03:28.250 --> 00:03:31.420
and I give you the right to own me, to run my life.

80
00:03:31.420 --> 00:03:33.280
And the Bible says that Jesus Christ then

81
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.108
takes up residence in you.

82
00:03:36.108 --> 00:03:40.120
And begins to fulfill his destiny and his purpose in you,

83
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:44.045
rather than you trying to be like him.

84
00:03:44.045 --> 00:03:48.700
And it will change the way you pray.

85
00:03:48.700 --> 00:03:53.333
Oh God, Lord, I'm so weak.

86
00:03:53.333 --> 00:03:58.178
Oh Jesus please give me more strength and more power.

87
00:03:58.178 --> 00:03:59.893
Have you every prayed that prayer?

88
00:03:59.893 --> 00:04:02.480
Have you ever asked God for more strength and more power?

89
00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:03.685
Let me see your hand.

90
00:04:03.685 --> 00:04:06.440
You ever prayed that?

91
00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:08.357
That's a dumb prayer.

92
00:04:08.357 --> 00:04:10.695
(congregation laughs)

93
00:04:10.695 --> 00:04:13.237
It's wrong.

94
00:04:13.237 --> 00:04:15.710
Because when Jesus Christ got up out of the grave,

95
00:04:15.710 --> 00:04:20.490
Jesus Christ said all power is given unto me

96
00:04:20.490 --> 00:04:21.323
in Heaven and in Earth.

97
00:04:21.323 --> 00:04:22.720
And Hebrews chapter one says

98
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:27.673
Jesus Christ upholds all things by the word of His power.

99
00:04:28.840 --> 00:04:31.530
When you invite Jesus Christ to take over your life,

100
00:04:31.530 --> 00:04:35.541
where does Jesus go?

101
00:04:35.541 --> 00:04:37.943
Where does Jesus go?

102
00:04:37.943 --> 00:04:40.128
This is a Black church meeting, you can answer back.

103
00:04:40.128 --> 00:04:43.450
(congregation laughs)

104
00:04:43.450 --> 00:04:44.720
Where does Jesus go.

105
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:45.553
<v ->In your heart.</v>

106
00:04:45.553 --> 00:04:48.700
<v ->In you, right, Jesus comes in you.</v>

107
00:04:48.700 --> 00:04:51.268
What else do you have in you?

108
00:04:51.268 --> 00:04:52.210
<v ->Power.</v>

109
00:04:52.210 --> 00:04:57.210
So why you praying for more power?

110
00:04:57.620 --> 00:05:02.620
Oh God, Lord, I need more love.

111
00:05:03.250 --> 00:05:07.956
So much hate in my life, oh God, more love. (chuckles)

112
00:05:07.956 --> 00:05:11.862
(congregation laughs)

113
00:05:11.862 --> 00:05:14.570
<v ->Another dumb prayer.</v>

114
00:05:14.570 --> 00:05:19.570
God is love, and when you trust Jesus to take over your life

115
00:05:19.760 --> 00:05:21.448
where does God go?

116
00:05:21.448 --> 00:05:22.281
(congregation murmurs)

117
00:05:22.281 --> 00:05:25.103
In you. Therefore what else do you have in you?

118
00:05:25.103 --> 00:05:25.936
<v ->Love.</v>

119
00:05:25.936 --> 00:05:30.367
<v ->So why you praying for more love?</v>

120
00:05:30.367 --> 00:05:33.363
Oh God, I have such a short fuse.

121
00:05:33.363 --> 00:05:35.900
I keep blowing my stack all the time.

122
00:05:35.900 --> 00:05:37.220
Oh God, patience.

123
00:05:37.220 --> 00:05:42.214
Oh Jesus give me more patience Lord. (giggles)

124
00:05:42.214 --> 00:05:46.614
(congregation laughs)

125
00:05:46.614 --> 00:05:50.040
The Bible says the fruit of the spirit is

126
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:51.610
patience.

127
00:05:51.610 --> 00:05:54.860
And when you trust Jesus, where does he go?

128
00:05:54.860 --> 00:05:55.693
In you.

129
00:05:55.693 --> 00:05:57.720
Therefore, what else do you have?

130
00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.060
Patience.

131
00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:01.870
And so instead of getting up every day and saying

132
00:06:01.870 --> 00:06:05.030
Lord, give me more love and more power and more patience,

133
00:06:05.030 --> 00:06:06.300
you begin the day by saying,

134
00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:09.414
Lord, I thank you for the fact that today you want

135
00:06:09.414 --> 00:06:12.990
me to show love, and you want me to exhibit your power,

136
00:06:12.990 --> 00:06:16.670
and you want me to show strength and patience.

137
00:06:16.670 --> 00:06:18.070
I don't have what it takes,

138
00:06:18.070 --> 00:06:20.700
but I thank you for the fact that you are patience,

139
00:06:20.700 --> 00:06:24.950
and you are strength, and you are love, and you are in me,

140
00:06:24.950 --> 00:06:28.913
so today I am going to trust you

141
00:06:28.913 --> 00:06:33.053
to be my love and my patience and my strength.

142
00:06:33.053 --> 00:06:38.053
And He pulls it off.

143
00:06:38.484 --> 00:06:41.809
And so I gave my life to Him.

144
00:06:41.809 --> 00:06:45.318
I now know who I am.

145
00:06:45.318 --> 00:06:47.790
I am God's son.

146
00:06:47.790 --> 00:06:49.710
I am a member of the Royal Family of God

147
00:06:49.710 --> 00:06:51.510
that puts me in the best family stock

148
00:06:51.510 --> 00:06:54.277
there is in all the world.

149
00:06:54.277 --> 00:06:58.680
I am a member of the Royal Family of God.

150
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.041
I know who I am.

151
00:07:01.041 --> 00:07:03.550
Nobody else has to identify me.

152
00:07:03.550 --> 00:07:05.900
I don't wait for other people to tell me who I am.

153
00:07:05.900 --> 00:07:09.300
I don't need other people to define me.

154
00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:12.520
I define myself by virtue of who God says I am.

155
00:07:12.520 --> 00:07:16.231
I am God's son.

156
00:07:16.231 --> 00:07:19.170
I now know what my responsibility to other people is.

157
00:07:19.170 --> 00:07:21.380
All I ask of people that God

158
00:07:21.380 --> 00:07:23.490
brings me into relationship with,

159
00:07:23.490 --> 00:07:25.400
all I ask of them is that they give me

160
00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:26.760
the privilege to love them,

161
00:07:26.760 --> 00:07:29.880
whether they love me back or not is totally unimportant

162
00:07:29.880 --> 00:07:31.450
because I derive enough love

163
00:07:31.450 --> 00:07:33.630
from my relationship with Jesus Christ

164
00:07:33.630 --> 00:07:38.630
to love them without needing them to love me back.

165
00:07:39.340 --> 00:07:40.920
And the beautiful part about it is

166
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.483
I've got the power now to pull it off.

167
00:07:44.483 --> 00:07:47.710
The life I now live in the flesh

168
00:07:47.710 --> 00:07:50.780
I live by the faith of the Son of God

169
00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:53.620
who gave Himself for me.

170
00:07:53.620 --> 00:07:55.900
That becomes the basis by which God

171
00:07:55.900 --> 00:07:58.680
wants to put together the new community

172
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.782
to shape the world in which we live.

173
00:08:01.782 --> 00:08:03.980
So take people by virtue of their willingness

174
00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:05.940
to renounce all rights to themselves

175
00:08:05.940 --> 00:08:09.005
and hand their lives over to Jesus Christ

176
00:08:09.005 --> 00:08:12.310
to send you into a world that doesn't know who they are,

177
00:08:12.310 --> 00:08:13.650
with you knowing who you are.

178
00:08:13.650 --> 00:08:15.740
In a world that is not together,

179
00:08:15.740 --> 00:08:18.380
God wants to bring together a group of people

180
00:08:18.380 --> 00:08:20.500
who by virtue of their commitment to Christ

181
00:08:20.500 --> 00:08:23.320
will be prepared to lay their lives down for each other

182
00:08:23.320 --> 00:08:25.070
and show the world what it looks like

183
00:08:25.070 --> 00:08:29.781
when people really care.

184
00:08:29.781 --> 00:08:31.380
And then to send us into the world

185
00:08:31.380 --> 00:08:34.200
by the power of God to destroy the works of the Devil,

186
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:37.470
hunger, poverty, war, violence,

187
00:08:37.470 --> 00:08:42.085
racism, prejudice, bigotry.

188
00:08:42.085 --> 00:08:44.290
And for us together as the people of God

189
00:08:44.290 --> 00:08:46.360
to become the examples that other people

190
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.540
can look at and say,

191
00:08:48.540 --> 00:08:52.183
those people have been with Jesus.

192
00:08:57.470 --> 00:08:59.150
So when Burt Bacharach asks

193
00:08:59.150 --> 00:09:04.150
what's it all about, that's what it's about.

194
00:09:04.460 --> 00:09:06.670
What it's about is that God's got his own agenda,

195
00:09:06.670 --> 00:09:09.653
God's doin' his own thing.

196
00:09:09.653 --> 00:09:12.690
And so now when the guy comes up to me and says,

197
00:09:12.690 --> 00:09:13.760
What's happening Tom?

198
00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:18.068
I say got it together.

199
00:09:18.068 --> 00:09:22.342
Let me close with this illustration and we'll pray.

200
00:09:22.342 --> 00:09:24.760
The old Roman soldiers used to go into battle

201
00:09:24.760 --> 00:09:25.680
but they had a problem

202
00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:29.160
because the gear that they wore didn't fit.

203
00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:32.180
The breastplate was wacky, the helmet was wacky,

204
00:09:32.180 --> 00:09:34.800
and the equipment was loose on the body,

205
00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:36.690
and so the Roman's had to come up with a way

206
00:09:36.690 --> 00:09:40.890
to get the equipment on their body to fit snugly together.

207
00:09:40.890 --> 00:09:45.890
And so the Romans invented the girdle long before Playtex.

208
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.500
And the girdle was worn around the waist,

209
00:09:48.500 --> 00:09:49.797
and it had straps onto it,

210
00:09:49.797 --> 00:09:52.460
and the straps were connected to their equipment,

211
00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:55.630
and then tied at their loins at the center of their body

212
00:09:55.630 --> 00:09:57.870
so that the equipment fit snugly on their bodies

213
00:09:57.870 --> 00:09:59.580
so that they could run into battle,

214
00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:00.650
which is why Paul said

215
00:10:00.650 --> 00:10:02.610
put on the whole armor of God

216
00:10:02.610 --> 00:10:06.766
and have yourself girdled with truth.

217
00:10:06.766 --> 00:10:10.220
Well, you see, you and I are like the Roman soldiers.

218
00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:11.100
We have equipment.

219
00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:14.200
We have mind, body, emotions and spirit,

220
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:16.160
but they're all going off in different directions.

221
00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:17.550
My body wants to do one thing,

222
00:10:17.550 --> 00:10:19.150
my mind wants to do something else,

223
00:10:19.150 --> 00:10:20.700
my emotions are climbing the wall,

224
00:10:20.700 --> 00:10:21.993
and according to the spirit,

225
00:10:21.993 --> 00:10:23.400
according to the scripture,

226
00:10:23.400 --> 00:10:26.836
my spirit is dead without Christ.

227
00:10:26.836 --> 00:10:28.160
And so God says what you need

228
00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:30.370
is a girdle to bring that together,

229
00:10:30.370 --> 00:10:31.690
and the girdle is the truth.

230
00:10:31.690 --> 00:10:32.523
In other words,

231
00:10:32.523 --> 00:10:33.490
what the Bible is saying is

232
00:10:33.490 --> 00:10:36.590
bring to the center of your being truth

233
00:10:36.590 --> 00:10:39.390
in order to tie your equipment together

234
00:10:39.390 --> 00:10:43.395
so you can be a whole person having it together.

235
00:10:43.395 --> 00:10:46.453
And the question is who is the truth?

236
00:10:46.453 --> 00:10:49.420
That brings us back to Jesus again.

237
00:10:49.420 --> 00:10:54.330
Who says I am the way, truth, light.

238
00:10:55.970 --> 00:10:58.640
And Jesus becomes the person at the center of our lives

239
00:10:58.640 --> 00:11:00.810
that brings our mind, and our body,

240
00:11:00.810 --> 00:11:03.070
and our emotions and our spirit together,

241
00:11:03.070 --> 00:11:06.906
so that we can become a whole person.

242
00:11:06.906 --> 00:11:10.815
And as whole people, to go out into a broken world,

243
00:11:10.815 --> 00:11:15.815
and offer that world the healing of Jesus Christ.

244
00:11:16.250 --> 00:11:18.825
That's what it's about.

245
00:11:18.825 --> 00:11:21.150
And I pray that if you have never put it together

246
00:11:21.150 --> 00:11:24.000
in your life,

247
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:25.850
that today will begin the day in which you

248
00:11:25.850 --> 00:11:30.850
discover Jesus Christ and let Him own you.

249
00:11:30.900 --> 00:11:34.750
Shall we pray?

250
00:11:34.750 --> 00:11:37.670
Father, we thank you today for the privilege

251
00:11:37.670 --> 00:11:40.406
of meeting together.

252
00:11:40.406 --> 00:11:43.354
We thank you for your word,

253
00:11:43.354 --> 00:11:46.310
and we pray as the result of what you have said to us

254
00:11:46.310 --> 00:11:50.446
that none of us will leave this place the same.

255
00:11:50.446 --> 00:11:52.740
And we pray that you will send us into a world

256
00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:57.720
that's broken and divided and oppressive and violent

257
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:02.646
and full of war to be your vehicles of peace,

258
00:12:03.810 --> 00:12:06.641
to destroy the works of the Devil,

259
00:12:06.641 --> 00:12:09.190
to the building up of your Kingdom.

260
00:12:09.190 --> 00:12:13.590
We ask it in Jesus' name.

261
00:13:47.188 --> 00:13:51.188

<v ->Can we stand together as we're dismissed.</v>

319
00:19:26.550 --> 00:19:28.390
Our Father, we are grateful

320
00:19:31.001 --> 00:19:33.853
for the opportunity to share this time together.

321
00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:39.110
Now we pray that you will send us forth into the world

322
00:19:41.230 --> 00:19:42.993
to be the alternative.

323
00:19:44.230 --> 00:19:47.413
To be the live models of what you are doing.

324
00:19:49.803 --> 00:19:52.030
And we pray that the world will never be the same

325
00:19:52.030 --> 00:19:53.803
because we passed this way.

326
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:57.033
We ask it in Jesus' name.

327
00:19:58.320 --> 00:19:59.153
Amen.
