twice. Okay, verse six this is huge guys. Ready? As you therefore have received Christ, how'd you receive Christ

by faith?

You have to believe he's the Lord. You have to believe he was a man and died on the cross. You have to believe he raised from the dead and was seated to the right hand of God. You have to believe that he died because your lives were flipping. You have to believe, right? So you're justified by faith. So as you received Christ Jesus the Lord. So what? So walking him. You see why I'm so intense about not living central, not living by the way, it's scenes and fields and the way you think or the way others think. Because in him is all the wisdoms of all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge in him. Is your life revealed in him is the wisdom of God and the truth. He is the truth, not our truth. Is that adamant? I mean it's a big deal. So so walk in him. Verse seven rooted and built up in him, established in the faith. What's the faith? The faith is who you've become now that he died and Rose again, who you are in light of him. That's the faith you contend for, that you fight for that it's a good fight because God doesn't change his mind. It's already settled. You're loved. You're lovable. You always will be. You have destiny, you have potential, you always will, and your deepest failure, the door is still open to succeed.

[inaudible]

in your most lost state, the door's still open to come home and your deepest hour of ignorance and a lack of understanding, there's still knowledge and understanding waiting for you. The door doesn't go closed where God's concerned.

Yeah,

so both faith, fighting for the faith, one faith contending for the fake. All those phrases you read all through the new Testament, especially in Paul's writing. Peter writes about the faith to the faiths all through the Bible, and it all has to do with maintaining, securing, and resting in and walking in who you are. Now that he's come, it has nothing to do with punching the devil in the mouth. You can't find that in the Bible. It has nothing to do with getting in some fight. Spiritual warfare is so over preached and crossing boundaries. There's a place for spiritual warfare. We have turned it into the faith, spiritual fighting. The good fight of faith we think is spiritual warfare fighting good fight of faith is in the face of every temptation of sensuality, feelings. What it seems in seems not to stand firm and say nothing's changed. Christ as Lord and he's in me and unloved by God. I'm already right. I'm already accepted. I'm already acceptable. Even where you look at the weapons of a war that we're wrestling not with flesh and blood, but spiritual, and we're putting on the armor. The way we fight is not getting in a ring and wrestling the devil. You fight by putting on your armor and holding up the shield of faith and wielding the sword of the spirit. So it's the truth that makes you free. You're not fighting the devil. You're standing in truth in the midst of chaos and pandemonium at every other suggestion. Jen, you're following me. That's something that's not understood a lot were we're, we're chasing after the devil he loves. When you pay attention to him, I promise you he loves when you walk your floor binding, rebuking, telling him where he's gonna be one day and getting into his mouth battle with the devil he loves when you do that because he's a cutoff weathering branch. Comment enough that, and he loves when you pay him attention cause he's so insecure, so freaked out in fear and so lost and he loves when you make him somebody don't feed his addiction, let him starve in insecurity. I'm serious. And she feed his addiction. He wants you to fear him. He wants you to believe him instead of the God that created you. He loves where he can reproduce himself after his own kind and take what was made in the image of God and make it look just like he looks in fields he loves when a Christian and has every hope and covenant and promised before them is hopeless just like he is. He loves when people made to be like God are like him.

He loves it.

He loves when you're afraid, freaked out. Fear cause he is so afraid to trumpets blow and he's freaked out that today might be the day that in a moment he might face eternal damnation. Judgment. When Jesus swapped the earth, devils were freaked out. Why have you come to tremendous before our time? Come on, this scene's way too soon. We know what's coming and we fear you man. We ought to learn from that guys. There you are free out by Jesus. So why wouldn't they be freaked out by Christ in you? So in hopes that you never see who you are because of him, they try to get you to keep seeing who you are apart from him so you never get a revelation. So they don't have to be freaked out by cause if you ever see what they know, it's over. Trump won, so that's keeping them self conscious, self centered, hurt, offended, rational thinking, human wisdom. Let's separate them. Let's just get them to not be able to agree. Let's just make a lot of doctrines, theologies, camps based in their experiences that's get'em off of one word, one truth. The Lord is one, our God is one in nets. Multiply them in divided into many streams, rivers and camps and let's just get them to fight instead of be won. Let's just get them to be proud and arrogant and self-righteous and let's get it all about them. Their heritage and what they believe in their upbringing that's keep them offended, touchable and reachable so they never take on Christ the same time they can go to church. We don't mind that. It's just make sure they're religious in their going. That's the devil.[inaudible] I will says, don't you be unaware of his devices? Don't you give him any place? You're the steward of your heart. Don't you give him any place? The more you become like Christ. It's a good thing it man. Can you imagine the horror in the demonic world when Christ raised from the dead and the mystery of God was revealed to the enemy, that he played right into the hand of God like a fool, like a pawn, and he actually killed the son of God and now all men could go free. He shed innocent blood, enslaved the land. He was blinded to all that in God's infinite wisdom, he just pulled back and let him do what he does. Steal, kill, destroy, steal, kill, destroy,[inaudible] and now he kills the son of God. And because of that, we can all live. Imagine the Horrow for a minute that hits him. I can't defeat God. How do I defeat God? If I knew what I was doing, I wouldn't have done it. Oh my God, I killed this son of God. I got a vision a long time ago, a little picture of the devil doing that in Cal freaking out and chaos and yelling at each other and blaming each other. And, and then I saw this little light bulb go off in the devil's head. He said, wait a minute, guys, calm down. Pull together. It's not that bad. Look, we can't beat God and we know it, but we can beat them and we know it. They're gonna keep loving themselves. They'll not love God more than their own lives. They won't surrender. They won't give up. Are you kidding? Every one of them at hardest, just like us. They're all about themselves and we'll make sure that it stays that way. We'll make sure that we work and finagle and poke and prod in as many areas as we can to make sure they never get a revelation of what was accomplished here. We'll turn it into legalism and works will get them to hurt each other. We'll get them hurt so bad at young ages in church that they won't even want to think about church. We'll get them so mad at God. We'll get them to think God killed their kids and God killed their parents. God killed their loved ones will scramble this thing up, will deceive. We'll do what we do best. Guys, we'll blind will deceive what lie now. Believe us cause they really live for themselves. Get in here guys. Stitch. Go break. It's a little vision I got long time ago. It's the only power you asked blind her eyes from seeing. I promise you. He doesn't believe that one of us loves God more than our own life. He believes you just need God for your lives. Oh, I need God to become. I'm not incorporating him into who I am. I want him to make me who I am. Follow me who are feels real passionate and intense right now. I feel rough, sober, sorry for from freaking out by talking Saul. Man, this thing's real. I've seen enough devils in people and around people. They're real. They're not to be feared and honored in the way that we tend to and they're seeking whom they made about. They're looking for vulnerability, fear, access points, weakness, wrong motives, vulnerabilities give no place. I believe by the spirit of God, guys, it's as if we've never done it as long as our hearts are sincere. All he asks is repentance that we wish different. We wish we'd had done different regret would eat us alive. You could never pay the debt. You could never go back and make it right once it's done. But you can change on the inside and you can say, well, how have we shut it down different? And God says, bingo, done. You've just changed. So father, thank you for the gospel. Thank you that it's getting in us, transforming us, and becoming who we are and from this place, we will live our life and bear fruit unto you. In Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Love you guys. See you tomorrow.
