00:00:04.884 --> 00:00:08.655
Creflo Dollar: When you'reat rest, that's the highest,
00:00:08.688 --> 00:00:10.790
highest kind of faith.
00:00:10.824 --> 00:00:12.892
It's the most powerful positionthat a Christian could be in is
00:00:12.926 --> 00:00:15.895
that place of rest, and that'swhat the enemy is looking to
00:00:15.929 --> 00:00:19.699
destroy in your life.
00:00:19.732 --> 00:00:21.835
That's why he wants you worried.
00:00:21.868 --> 00:00:23.703
That's why he wants you stressedout because, if he can keep you
00:00:23.736 --> 00:00:25.605
worried and stressed and inunbelief and in fear, he can
00:00:25.638 --> 00:00:28.508
stop you from being in the mostpowerful place for a Christian,
00:00:28.541 --> 00:00:33.012
and that's the place of rest.
00:00:33.046 --> 00:00:35.782

Creflo: See, I've learnedsomething about outfits.
00:01:45.385 --> 00:01:47.587
If you can't wear it inconfidence, you don't need to
00:01:47.620 --> 00:01:49.923
wear it.
00:01:49.956 --> 00:01:51.591
I learned that from Taffi.
00:01:51.624 --> 00:01:53.359
If you can't wear it inconfidence, don't put it on.
00:01:53.393 --> 00:01:55.328
Don't put it on.
00:01:55.361 --> 00:01:57.297
See, I'm wearin' thispink in confidence.
00:01:57.330 --> 00:01:59.232
I already know I'm aman, you understand?
00:01:59.265 --> 00:02:00.767
So I'm wearin' thispink in confidence.
00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:02.669
You understand.
00:02:02.702 --> 00:02:04.537
But a long time ago, Icouldn't wear it in confidence.
00:02:04.571 --> 00:02:06.639
You understand what I'm sayin'?
00:02:06.673 --> 00:02:08.441
Wearin' it inconfidence right now.
00:02:08.474 --> 00:02:10.510
If you don't believein it, don't wear it.
00:02:10.543 --> 00:02:15.548
And sometimes fear will stop youfrom operating in the confidence
00:02:15.582 --> 00:02:22.055
and the belief of what Jesus hasalready done, and I'm tellin'
00:02:22.088 --> 00:02:25.792
you, it's time for you to startwearing Christ, hallelujah, and
00:02:25.825 --> 00:02:29.128
being confident that, no matterwhat the doctor saw or what the
00:02:29.162 --> 00:02:32.098
X-ray saw, I can wear thisin confidence, "I am healed.
00:02:32.131 --> 00:02:36.269
I am delivered.
00:02:36.302 --> 00:02:38.238
Hallelujah, I'm set freebecause of who Jesus is in
00:02:38.271 --> 00:02:40.340
my life."
00:02:40.373 --> 00:02:45.278
Amen.
00:02:45.311 --> 00:02:50.083
"Seeing therefore," verse 6, itremaineth that some must enter
00:02:50.116 --> 00:02:54.821
therein, and they to whom it wasfirst preached entered not in--"
00:02:54.854 --> 00:02:58.958
They didn't enter into the rest.
00:02:58.992 --> 00:03:00.326
Why?
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:01.728
"'Cause of unbelief."
00:03:01.761 --> 00:03:03.329
That's fear-based.
00:03:03.363 --> 00:03:04.731
"'Cause of unbelief."
00:03:04.764 --> 00:03:06.332
What are you afraid of that'skeeping you in unbelief?
00:03:06.366 --> 00:03:09.002
"I just don't believe that.
00:03:11.137 --> 00:03:13.339
I just don't believe that."
00:03:13.373 --> 00:03:16.042
Honey, if you're hangin' aroundsomeone that's always making you
00:03:16.075 --> 00:03:19.879
feel bad about yourself, thatis a toxic relationship that you
00:03:19.912 --> 00:03:23.850
need to end.
00:03:23.883 --> 00:03:28.321
We are so inundated by theattitudes that this world has
00:03:34.727 --> 00:03:40.199
shaped, and we take itas if it's our Bible.
00:03:40.233 --> 00:03:47.273
We gotta stop that.
00:03:47.307 --> 00:03:49.909
Who has offended you andblocked your anointing?
00:03:49.942 --> 00:03:55.548
Who has offended you and gottenin the way of the path that God
00:03:55.581 --> 00:03:59.752
has planned for your life, andyou can't hardly go down the
00:03:59.786 --> 00:04:02.955
path 'cause you got somuch junk in your path?
00:04:02.989 --> 00:04:11.597
What are you worried about?
00:04:11.631 --> 00:04:14.133
You gotta get to the point--thereason why I keep talkin' about
00:04:14.167 --> 00:04:16.402
you gotta learn how to be okaywith you and you gotta learn how
00:04:16.436 --> 00:04:18.871
to like yourself, 'cause yougotta stop being afraid of what
00:04:18.905 --> 00:04:23.543
people think about you, and yougotta be so cool with you that
00:04:23.576 --> 00:04:27.747
you don't mind being with you.
00:04:27.780 --> 00:04:34.687
And the guy that you wanna bewith that don't wanna be with
00:04:39.659 --> 00:04:42.161
you, your attitude has got tobe "He don't even know what
00:04:42.195 --> 00:04:44.063
he missin'.
00:04:44.097 --> 00:04:46.933
Boy, you don't have thischance but one time."
00:04:46.966 --> 00:04:49.402
I'mma show you whatI'mma be workin' with.
00:04:49.435 --> 00:04:51.437
"Boy, you ain't gotthis but one time.
00:04:51.471 --> 00:04:53.473
Hey, when I'm through withyou, I'm through with you."
00:04:53.506 --> 00:04:55.241
You gotta have that kind ofconfidence, and it draws the
00:04:55.274 --> 00:04:58.478
right kind of man.
00:04:58.511 --> 00:05:00.847
It draws the rightkind of woman.
00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:02.815
Nobody wants a sickly, brokenperson that don't even believe
00:05:02.849 --> 00:05:08.321
in what they got to bring to thetable, and you have somethin' to
00:05:08.354 --> 00:05:11.758
bring to the table.
00:05:11.791 --> 00:05:13.559
You're just too afraid to bringsomethin' to the table that's
00:05:13.593 --> 00:05:16.095
authentically you.
00:05:16.129 --> 00:05:18.164
You've been spendin' your life,all your life, with the cheap
00:05:18.197 --> 00:05:20.666
imitation while youignore the valuable you.
00:05:20.700 --> 00:05:24.670
Can't nobody be you.
00:05:24.704 --> 00:05:27.306
Can't nobody--no matter how theytry, can't nobody be like you.
00:05:27.340 --> 00:05:32.645
So go ahead and be you, girl.
00:05:32.678 --> 00:05:35.314
Go ahead and be you, guy.
00:05:35.348 --> 00:05:38.284
Like I told you lastweek, I started dancin'.
00:05:41.154 --> 00:05:43.289
I don't care what nobodysay about my dance.
00:05:43.322 --> 00:05:51.531
I didn't do it for them.
00:05:51.564 --> 00:05:58.471
And, by the way, like Taffiand I were talkin', that was a
00:05:58.504 --> 00:06:00.673
Christian song while you werejudgin' me and talkin' about me,
00:06:00.706 --> 00:06:02.775
and that was a Christian songI was dancin' to, so what's the
00:06:02.809 --> 00:06:04.677
difference between you dancin'to a Christian song and doin'
00:06:04.710 --> 00:06:07.313
like that, like somethin' wrongwith ya, and me just chillin' it
00:06:07.346 --> 00:06:10.416
down on the Christian song?
00:06:10.450 --> 00:06:13.252
Hey, is it still praise?
00:06:13.286 --> 00:06:15.488
Is God stillreceivin' it as dance?
00:06:15.521 --> 00:06:18.424
"Well, that's just too worldly."
00:06:18.458 --> 00:06:20.593
What is "worldly"?
00:06:20.626 --> 00:06:22.662
According to 1 John, "worldly"is the lust of the eyes, the
00:06:22.695 --> 00:06:25.832
lust of the flesh,and the pride of life.
00:06:25.865 --> 00:06:29.101
And as long as I ain't got thelust of the eyes and the lust of
00:06:29.135 --> 00:06:32.071
the flesh and the pride of thelife while I'm doin' what
00:06:32.104 --> 00:06:34.874
I'm doin'--
00:06:34.907 --> 00:06:39.078
What're you talkin'about "worldly"?
00:06:39.111 --> 00:06:43.483
So I gotta look like I'm havinga catabolic fit in order for it
00:06:43.516 --> 00:06:46.853
to be church dancin'?
00:06:46.886 --> 00:06:49.989
I gotta--oh--in orderfor it to be right?
00:06:50.022 --> 00:06:56.095
I mean, you can'tbe cool and dance?
00:06:56.128 --> 00:06:59.765
"Praise the Lord, hey.
00:06:59.799 --> 00:07:02.101
Praise the Lord, hey.
00:07:02.134 --> 00:07:04.437
Hey, praise the Lord."
00:07:04.470 --> 00:07:06.739
God don't see that'cause it's not--
00:07:06.772 --> 00:07:10.343
Stop it, do you understand?
00:07:15.615 --> 00:07:17.783
This stuff that we're doing thatJesus doesn't even understand
00:07:17.817 --> 00:07:20.553
it--if Jesus were to come backtoday, we would have to explain
00:07:20.586 --> 00:07:24.323
to him so much of the stuff thatchurch created that he like,
00:07:24.357 --> 00:07:28.728
"What's that?
00:07:28.761 --> 00:07:30.363
What they doin'?
00:07:30.396 --> 00:07:31.964
How come they didthat right there?
00:07:31.998 --> 00:07:33.699
Who them people that showup, people they say--ushers?
00:07:33.733 --> 00:07:35.668
What's all that?"
00:07:35.701 --> 00:07:37.336
He don't know nothin' about allthat stuff 'cause we've
00:07:37.370 --> 00:07:38.804
created "church."
00:07:38.838 --> 00:07:42.909
And I'm tired of playin' church.
00:07:46.078 --> 00:07:49.382
I finally discover who I am, andI'm gonna be who I am, and me
00:07:49.415 --> 00:07:55.021
and my wife are gon' have agood time, and you can call it
00:07:55.054 --> 00:07:58.558
"worldly" if you want to.
00:07:58.591 --> 00:08:00.826
Welcome to our world.
00:08:00.860 --> 00:08:05.398
But you better learnhow to be free.
00:08:05.431 --> 00:08:08.100
All religious Christianity is,is a bunch of people under fear,
00:08:08.134 --> 00:08:11.404
who don't really believe whatJesus has already done, and
00:08:11.437 --> 00:08:17.443
you're struggling to try toresolve your own issues and
00:08:17.476 --> 00:08:24.784
wanna judge everybodyelse who are not like you.
00:08:24.817 --> 00:08:29.522
I didn't have a mic so, "bam."
00:08:43.235 --> 00:08:47.473
We need to be at peace, andthat's gonna start with us being
00:08:50.876 --> 00:08:54.847
at peace with who we are.
00:08:54.880 --> 00:08:58.718
You do know that, don't you?
00:08:58.751 --> 00:09:00.553
It's gonna start with you beingokay with you, when you can go
00:09:00.586 --> 00:09:02.888
home--listen, when you can goout to eat with yourself and
00:09:02.922 --> 00:09:07.259
treat yourself to a movie withsome popcorn--y'all didn't hear
00:09:07.293 --> 00:09:10.763
what I'm sayin'--
00:09:10.796 --> 00:09:14.200
And enjoy your extra calorieswithout somebody tellin' you
00:09:15.901 --> 00:09:19.472
that you ought not to have thisbecause you know you're a
00:09:19.505 --> 00:09:21.440
little overweight.
00:09:21.474 --> 00:09:23.009
Well, I'm fine with bein'a little overweight.
00:09:23.042 --> 00:09:24.377
Are you fine?
00:09:24.410 --> 00:09:25.778
I mean, I'm--and then, you know,if you're a little overweight,
00:09:25.811 --> 00:09:27.113
you still, "I'm fine."
00:09:27.146 --> 00:09:29.515
I'm probably gonna leave afterthis, like, "Oh, my God, I can't
00:09:36.622 --> 00:09:38.024
believe I said all that stuff."
00:09:38.057 --> 00:09:40.159
Now look at this: He saidbecause--they couldn't enter
00:09:42.361 --> 00:09:45.164
into rest 'causethey didn't believe.
00:09:45.197 --> 00:09:48.634
They didn't believe in thefinished works of Jesus.
00:09:48.668 --> 00:09:50.236
They didn't believe that theywere already made righteous
00:09:50.269 --> 00:09:51.971
by Jesus.
00:09:52.004 --> 00:09:53.472
They didn't believe thatthey were already healed
00:09:53.506 --> 00:09:54.974
and delivered.
00:09:55.007 --> 00:09:56.342
They didn't believe in theauthentic calling that God had
00:09:56.375 --> 00:09:59.545
put on their life and destinedfor them to walk down the path
00:09:59.578 --> 00:10:02.915
that he presented for them.
00:10:02.948 --> 00:10:05.551
And because they didn't believe,they compared themselves amongst
00:10:05.584 --> 00:10:08.821
themselves, tryin' their best totry to figure out what they're
00:10:08.854 --> 00:10:11.657
supposed to do by seeing whatothers were doing and trying to
00:10:11.691 --> 00:10:16.595
copy what they were doin' whilethey ignored the authentic road
00:10:16.629 --> 00:10:21.367
that God had paved for them.
00:10:21.400 --> 00:10:24.904
I want your authenticity.
00:10:24.937 --> 00:10:27.840
I think somethin' happens ina community where people can
00:10:27.873 --> 00:10:33.345
embrace the authentic you.
00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:37.416
Do you understandwhat I'm sayin'?
00:10:37.450 --> 00:10:39.785
I fell in love with my wifebecause of her authenticity.
00:10:39.819 --> 00:10:43.522
Ain't nobody like Taffi Dollar.
00:10:43.556 --> 00:10:46.459
She got to have a littlethrill in her life.
00:10:46.492 --> 00:10:50.329
She got to have it.
00:10:50.362 --> 00:10:52.298
We went somewhere, and somebodytold us about this place where
00:10:52.331 --> 00:10:54.333
stingrays swim, and Taffi said,"I wanna go and swim with
00:10:54.366 --> 00:10:58.471
the stingrays."
00:10:58.504 --> 00:11:01.240
And I'm from Colli Park.
00:11:01.273 --> 00:11:02.575
I don't believe in goin'to other people's house.
00:11:02.608 --> 00:11:05.578
That's the stingrays' house.
00:11:05.611 --> 00:11:06.979
I don't believe ingoin' to their house.
00:11:07.012 --> 00:11:08.347
They ain't comin' in my house.
00:11:08.380 --> 00:11:09.749
Why I'mma go in their house?
00:11:09.782 --> 00:11:11.350
So we way out in the Atlantic,and we're on this reef, so, you
00:11:11.383 --> 00:11:15.421
know, you're not, like,deep in the ocean.
00:11:15.454 --> 00:11:17.123
You stand on the reef.
00:11:17.156 --> 00:11:18.924
And Taffi's swimmin' withthe stingrays, and you get
00:11:18.958 --> 00:11:25.297
some--what was it, octopus?
00:11:25.331 --> 00:11:27.133
We were--and you just sharethe octopus, and they come all
00:11:27.166 --> 00:11:29.835
around you, and get someoctopus, and Taffi's swimmin'
00:11:29.869 --> 00:11:33.005
with the stingray.
00:11:33.038 --> 00:11:34.373
Now, I was takin' pictures.
00:11:34.406 --> 00:11:35.775
I ain't gettin' outthere with no stingray.
00:11:35.808 --> 00:11:37.643
I said, "Smile, baby, smile.
00:11:37.676 --> 00:11:40.312
Look at the stingray.
00:11:40.346 --> 00:11:41.714
Look at my wifeand the stingrays.
00:11:41.747 --> 00:11:43.315
Oh, look at her."
00:11:43.349 --> 00:11:44.717
I ain't ready forno stingrays yet.
00:11:44.750 --> 00:11:46.318
Man talkin' about "Kiss thestingrays, and you'll have seven
00:11:46.352 --> 00:11:47.720
years of luck."
00:11:47.753 --> 00:11:49.522
Well, I believe in theblessing, praise the Lord.
00:11:49.555 --> 00:11:52.658
Middle of the day, I'm callin'.
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:01.333
"Taffi, where you at?"
00:12:01.367 --> 00:12:02.735
"Oh, I'm about toget in a race car."
00:12:02.768 --> 00:12:04.336
"Where are you?"
00:12:04.370 --> 00:12:06.138
"I'm at a race track down here."
00:12:06.172 --> 00:12:07.973
"Why are you at a race track?"
00:12:08.007 --> 00:12:09.842
"I wanted to seehow fast I can go."
00:12:09.875 --> 00:12:12.077
[speaking in tongues]
00:12:12.111 --> 00:12:15.147
We went somewhere, and she says,"I got this thing planned for
00:12:24.256 --> 00:12:26.325
us to go in a cave."
00:12:26.358 --> 00:12:27.860
"A cave?
00:12:27.893 --> 00:12:30.696
What cave?
00:12:30.729 --> 00:12:32.198
Where the cave at?
00:12:32.231 --> 00:12:34.700
We have no cavesin College Park.
00:12:34.733 --> 00:12:36.202
What am I doin' in a cave?"
00:12:36.235 --> 00:12:38.137
Here we go again, invadin'somebody else's house.
00:12:38.170 --> 00:12:41.507
And I'm like, "Okay,let's go in the cave.
00:12:46.111 --> 00:12:47.947
I ain't like it."
00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:49.315
I'm like, "I don't want no cave.
00:12:49.348 --> 00:12:50.716
What we gon' bumpinto in a cave?"
00:12:50.749 --> 00:12:52.451
So we got in the cave, and then,once we got in the cave, that
00:12:52.484 --> 00:12:54.653
adventure park came out of me.
00:12:54.687 --> 00:12:55.988
I said, "Oh, look at the cave."
00:12:56.021 --> 00:12:57.690
And then we ran into a bigclutter of bats, and I said,
00:12:57.723 --> 00:12:59.692
"Look at 'em them bats, Taffi."
00:12:59.725 --> 00:13:01.327
Taffi said, "Oh, let's go."
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:02.728
And I thought, "Whatjust happened here?"
00:13:02.761 --> 00:13:05.931
And then some lady bumped into asnake, and she said, "Ah!"
00:13:09.468 --> 00:13:14.006
I said, "Seem like somebodyjust bumped into a snake."
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:15.608
She said, "Let's go.
00:13:15.641 --> 00:13:17.443
I don't do stuff like that."
00:13:17.476 --> 00:13:21.113
So I'm willin' to doany--whatever she's sayin' at
00:13:21.146 --> 00:13:23.249
that vacation, and then shebrings up, "I got a submarine.
00:13:23.282 --> 00:13:26.118
We gon' go downin the submarine."
00:13:26.151 --> 00:13:28.487
"Is this a military submarine?
00:13:28.520 --> 00:13:31.290
Is the Navy runnin' thissubmarine or just some guy that
00:13:31.323 --> 00:13:34.460
works at the beach,runnin' the submarine?
00:13:34.493 --> 00:13:37.129
I ain't goin' in no submarineoperated by some beach boy."
00:13:37.162 --> 00:13:41.634
Something and all kind ofstuff--okay, so what did the--
00:13:43.302 --> 00:13:45.170
"His submarine might be raggedy.
00:13:45.204 --> 00:13:48.374
He might be on "E," when, youknow, we get on the submarine."
00:13:48.407 --> 00:13:52.311
And I am on my phone, you know,callin' Big O and BK, "Hey,
00:13:57.416 --> 00:14:01.520
bro, I need a little help."
00:14:01.553 --> 00:14:03.322
"What's up?"
00:14:03.355 --> 00:14:04.723
"Well, we're stuck at the bottomof the Atlantic Ocean in
00:14:04.757 --> 00:14:06.959
a submarine.
00:14:06.992 --> 00:14:08.727
Could y'all come and, you know,call Evander or somebody and
00:14:08.761 --> 00:14:11.230
see if they can get somebody,to see who he know to get me out
00:14:11.263 --> 00:14:13.365
this submarine?"
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.735
She's authentic, and thatauthenticity has brought out of
00:14:16.769 --> 00:14:22.341
me some stuff I didn't know Iwould even enjoy or become a
00:14:22.374 --> 00:14:28.180
part of because she's not busytrying to be like somebody else.
00:14:28.213 --> 00:14:34.586
She has embraced her authenticself and has taught me how to
00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:40.960
live and enjoy life.
00:14:40.993 --> 00:14:44.964
Are you understandin'what I'm sayin'?
00:14:46.332 --> 00:14:48.300
They didn't enter in becauseof unbelief, which is based
00:14:56.542 --> 00:14:58.944
in fear.
00:14:58.978 --> 00:15:00.312
What are you afraid of?
00:15:00.346 --> 00:15:02.214
What's the fear that's stoppingyou from believing, that's
00:15:02.247 --> 00:15:05.184
stopping you fromentering into the rest?
00:15:05.217 --> 00:15:09.555
Verse 7, "Again, he limiteth acertain day, saying in David,
00:15:09.588 --> 00:15:14.994
'Today, after so long a time, asit is said, "Today if you will
00:15:15.027 --> 00:15:18.364
hear his voice, don'tharden your hearts."'"
00:15:18.397 --> 00:15:21.533
And verse 8, said,"For Jesus--"
00:15:21.567 --> 00:15:26.939
I think here it's "Joshua."
00:15:26.972 --> 00:15:29.575
They translate it from the Greekto "Jesus," which the Greek
00:15:29.608 --> 00:15:34.713
is correct.
00:15:34.747 --> 00:15:36.849
It's "Jesus," but it's nottalkin' about our Lord
00:15:36.882 --> 00:15:38.484
and Savior.
00:15:38.517 --> 00:15:40.486
It's talkin' about "Joshua hadgiven them rest," "If Joshua had
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:42.354
given them rest," and it's thechildren of Israel that he's
00:15:42.388 --> 00:15:45.557
referring to, that Joshua hadgiven the children of Israel
00:15:45.591 --> 00:15:48.093
rest, "then would he notafterwards have spoken of
00:15:48.127 --> 00:15:50.696
another day."
00:15:50.729 --> 00:15:52.698
Verse 9, "There remaineththerefore a rest to the people
00:15:52.731 --> 00:15:55.601
of God."
00:15:55.634 --> 00:15:57.536
10, "For he that is entered intohis rest," here's what I want
00:15:57.569 --> 00:16:01.707
you to see, "he's also ceasedfrom his own works," his own
00:16:01.740 --> 00:16:06.378
performance, his ownself-effort, "as God did
00:16:06.412 --> 00:16:10.916
from his."
00:16:10.949 --> 00:16:13.652
How do I verify that youbelieve and enter into the rest?
00:16:13.685 --> 00:16:16.655
You've ceased from tryin'to do it on your own.
00:16:16.688 --> 00:16:21.427
Self-effort is dead.
00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:23.929
You're not tryin' to get healedthrough your own self-effort.
00:16:23.962 --> 00:16:26.432
You're not tryin' to berighteous through your
00:16:26.465 --> 00:16:27.766
own self-effort.
00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:29.701
You've ceased from that.
00:16:29.735 --> 00:16:31.837
You believe in the finishedworks of Jesus Christ, and
00:16:31.870 --> 00:16:34.306
because of your belief in JesusChrist, you've entered into
00:16:34.339 --> 00:16:37.109
the rest.
00:16:37.142 --> 00:16:39.478
And when people see you--you'renot this stressful, worry-filled
00:16:39.511 --> 00:16:42.281
person--they pause, and theywonder, "What is it that they're
00:16:42.314 --> 00:16:47.619
doing to be at rest in the midstof such a crazy situation?"
00:16:47.653 --> 00:16:53.992
They believed God.
00:16:54.026 --> 00:16:56.128
Now, the world's gonna getcrazier and crazier, but we
00:16:56.161 --> 00:16:58.697
gotta be at rest.
00:16:58.730 --> 00:17:00.866
Why?
00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:03.202
It is the most powerful posturefor a Christian to be at rest.
00:17:03.235 --> 00:17:08.340
When you're at rest, that'sthe highest kind of faith.
00:17:08.373 --> 00:17:11.210
When you're at rest, that'sthe highest kind of faith.
00:17:11.243 --> 00:17:13.912
You're talkin' about knowingthat you will walk in the
00:17:13.946 --> 00:17:16.782
glorious manifestationsof his finished works.
00:17:16.815 --> 00:17:19.618
When you're at rest, that's thehighest, highest kind of faith.
00:17:19.651 --> 00:17:22.921
It's the most powerful positionthat a Christian could be in, is
00:17:22.955 --> 00:17:26.792
that place of rest, and that'swhat the enemy is looking to
00:17:26.825 --> 00:17:30.762
destroy in your life.
00:17:30.796 --> 00:17:32.898
That's why he wants you worried.
00:17:32.931 --> 00:17:34.733
That's why he wants you stressedout because, if he can keep you
00:17:34.766 --> 00:17:37.136
worried and stressed and inunbelief and in fear, he can
00:17:37.169 --> 00:17:39.872
stop you from being in the mostpowerful place for a Christian,
00:17:39.905 --> 00:17:44.209
and that's the place of rest.
00:17:44.243 --> 00:17:48.280
So you're not just,kind of, playin' around.
00:17:48.313 --> 00:17:50.415
You're laboring to positionyourself in the most powerful
00:17:50.449 --> 00:17:53.852
place you can be in as aChristian, a place of rest.
00:17:53.886 --> 00:17:57.489
And you become a wonder tosomebody that can't figure out
00:17:57.523 --> 00:18:00.359
why you're not upset.
00:18:00.392 --> 00:18:02.094
"Didn't you hear what the doctorjust said about your health?"
00:18:02.127 --> 00:18:04.062
You said, "I heard it, but I'vebeen listenin' to Jesus," and he
00:18:04.096 --> 00:18:06.031
said, "I'm already healed," andthat the place of rest is the
00:18:06.064 --> 00:18:09.301
most powerful place you can be,and he's tryin' to rob you of
00:18:09.334 --> 00:18:14.339
that position.
00:18:14.373 --> 00:18:17.276
And when you're walkin' aroundstressed and in unbelief and in
00:18:17.309 --> 00:18:19.878
worry, you have been robbed fromthis place of power, from this
00:18:19.912 --> 00:18:27.152
place where manifestationis not "if they show up."
00:18:27.186 --> 00:18:30.289
They show up for thosewho are at rest.
00:18:30.322 --> 00:18:34.226
Those who are at rest.
00:18:38.363 --> 00:18:42.201
Come on, by faith, say it: "I'mat rest in the finished works
00:18:42.234 --> 00:18:45.938
of Jesus."
00:18:45.971 --> 00:18:50.275
God's always workingwhere someone's resting.
00:18:50.309 --> 00:18:54.680
I'll show you a great pictureof labor and her rest.
00:18:54.713 --> 00:18:56.915
You remember the Shulammitewoman when her son died?
00:18:56.949 --> 00:19:01.353
He was dead, and she walks outto go look for the prophet, and
00:19:01.386 --> 00:19:07.025
her husband said, "Sweetheart,is everything all right?"
00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:09.895
And here's what she said.
00:19:09.928 --> 00:19:11.496
It was a labor, but shesaid it: "All is well."
00:19:11.530 --> 00:19:14.766
Oh, my God.
00:19:14.800 --> 00:19:17.202
Oh, my God, "All is well."
00:19:17.236 --> 00:19:20.172
Her fight and her work was tostay at rest in that promise,
00:19:20.205 --> 00:19:25.544
and she went to see the prophet,and he's like, "What you
00:19:25.577 --> 00:19:27.646
doin' here?"
00:19:27.679 --> 00:19:30.082
"Oh, man of God," she shoutedout towards him, "All is well."
00:19:30.115 --> 00:19:33.518
Then she got there andexplained the situation to him.
00:19:33.552 --> 00:19:37.256
And he, like, came back andraised him from the dead,
00:19:37.289 --> 00:19:40.859
at rest.
00:19:40.892 --> 00:19:42.961
Do you know, most of themiracles Jesus did, he did on
00:19:42.995 --> 00:19:45.030
the Sabbath?
00:19:45.063 --> 00:19:47.332
You were created to work betterout of rest than out of stress,
00:19:47.366 --> 00:19:53.572
and the enemy is trying torob you of being able to be
00:19:53.605 --> 00:19:59.011
successful, but you were notcreated to work out of stress.
00:19:59.044 --> 00:20:02.014
You were not createdto work out of worry.
00:20:02.047 --> 00:20:04.082
You were created to work outof rest, hallelujah, and when
00:20:04.116 --> 00:20:12.057
you're at rest, that's whenyou'll see God's best--not when
00:20:12.090 --> 00:20:15.961
you're worried, not when you'recluttered, not when you're
00:20:15.994 --> 00:20:18.697
tryin' to work real hardto get God to do somethin.
00:20:18.730 --> 00:20:21.733
You called a 50-day fast'cause you're gonna make him
00:20:21.767 --> 00:20:23.435
do somethin'.
00:20:23.468 --> 00:20:25.070
No, no, no, no, no, no--at restis where you're gonna see God's
00:20:25.103 --> 00:20:27.439
best, at rest, at rest.
00:20:27.472 --> 00:20:31.276
I can no longer--watchthis--afford to be stressed out
00:20:31.310 --> 00:20:35.981
over the financesof this ministry.
00:20:36.014 --> 00:20:38.317
Why?
00:20:38.350 --> 00:20:40.152
'Cause if I'm stressed out overthat, then I have unbelief that
00:20:40.185 --> 00:20:42.654
God is able to handle it, orbetter yet, that he's already
00:20:42.688 --> 00:20:45.223
handled it.
00:20:45.257 --> 00:20:47.993
So what do I have to do?
00:20:48.026 --> 00:20:49.461
I have to labor to stay at restwhere provision is concerned.
00:20:49.494 --> 00:20:54.466
And what does that look like?
00:20:54.499 --> 00:20:56.001
Every time the thought comes up,I say, "God, I just thank you
00:20:56.034 --> 00:20:58.403
that you're Jehovah provider andthat all needs are met in
00:20:58.437 --> 00:21:00.972
this ministry.
00:21:01.006 --> 00:21:02.341
Lord, I give you praise.
00:21:02.374 --> 00:21:03.975
'Cause, when you're at rest,there's really nothin' left to
00:21:04.009 --> 00:21:05.344
do but praise and worship Godfor what he's already done, and
00:21:05.377 --> 00:21:07.813
that's what it means tolive a worshipful life.
00:21:07.846 --> 00:21:10.882
"Well, Pastor Dollar,that's not gon' be easy."
00:21:13.185 --> 00:21:14.786
I didn't say itwas gon' be easy.
00:21:14.820 --> 00:21:17.489
Sometimes we just gotta talkabout what's necessary and learn
00:21:17.522 --> 00:21:20.826
how to get in rest.
00:21:20.859 --> 00:21:22.427
And when that attackcomes--and it will.
00:21:22.461 --> 00:21:24.896
It will.
00:21:24.930 --> 00:21:26.431
Some of you probably experienceas soon as you walk out.
00:21:26.465 --> 00:21:29.935
It will.
00:21:29.968 --> 00:21:31.370
But that's when you gotta geta hold of your emotions and say,
00:21:31.403 --> 00:21:33.004
"Now, hold on a minute.
00:21:33.038 --> 00:21:34.373
Now, you don't run this show.
00:21:34.406 --> 00:21:36.141
Now, I know this just happened,but I also know what Jesus has
00:21:36.174 --> 00:21:38.844
done, and I'm gon' praise himfor what he has done, and I'm
00:21:38.877 --> 00:21:43.014
gon' lift him--lift my hands."
00:21:43.048 --> 00:21:44.783
Sometimes when you don't feellike lifting your hands up, "I'm
00:21:44.816 --> 00:21:46.918
gon' lift my hands."
00:21:46.952 --> 00:21:48.954
You do like David did.
00:21:48.987 --> 00:21:50.322
"Praise the Lord, O my soul.
00:21:50.355 --> 00:21:51.757
Praise the Lord, O my soul."
00:21:51.790 --> 00:21:53.358
Get your hands up thereand praise the Lord.
00:21:53.392 --> 00:21:56.595
I'm gon' stay at rest.
00:21:56.628 --> 00:21:58.296
I'm not gonna allow thisthing to rob my peace.
00:21:58.330 --> 00:22:00.866
I'm not gonna allow thisthing to stress me out.
00:22:00.899 --> 00:22:03.402
The enemy is behind this.
00:22:03.435 --> 00:22:05.804
"It ain't the enemyit's just how life is."
00:22:05.837 --> 00:22:07.873
No, life doesn't happen to me.
00:22:07.906 --> 00:22:10.475
I happen to life.
00:22:10.509 --> 00:22:13.478
I'm not gon' letlife happen to me.
00:22:13.512 --> 00:22:15.781
Hallelujah.
00:22:19.418 --> 00:22:22.254
I pray a peace that passes yourunderstandin' come over you,
00:22:22.287 --> 00:22:26.792
man, and then God will settleease in your life so you won't
00:22:26.825 --> 00:22:33.665
be dis-eased, and so thatdisease won't come on you from
00:22:33.698 --> 00:22:37.335
dis-easement that's in you,and that you can rest in the
00:22:37.369 --> 00:22:41.239
finished works of Jesus Christ.
00:22:41.273 --> 00:22:45.010
Look at this, in verse 11, hesaid--Hebrews 4:11, last, he
00:22:45.043 --> 00:22:52.651
says, "Let us labortherefore to," do what?
00:22:52.684 --> 00:22:53.985
"To enter into the rest."What does that look like?
00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:55.987
"I see the problem.Praise the Lord.
00:22:56.021 --> 00:22:57.322
I give you praise,Lord, hallelujah."
00:22:57.355 --> 00:23:00.058
announcer: Did you know worryis a wrong form of meditation?
