00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.159 That's my personality, is well, this is how it is. 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.400 It's black, things with me are black and white. 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.719 There's no gray area, it's yes or no. 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:26.560 There's no maybe, right? 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:33.199 If you if if somebody comes up to me and I say, Hey, I'm gonna see you tonight, and they go, maybe, I'll say, You're not coming. 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:34.479 Why? 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.840 Because you gotta right, you gotta make a decision. 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:41.360 But here's the thing he was so matter-of-fact about everything. 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:55.439 And what I one of the things that I learned from him early on, over 30 years ago, was that this that that the things that we see in the word of God are spiritual laws. 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:57.280 All right? 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.520 They're spiritual laws, they work that way every time. 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.719 They work that way every time. 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:06.639 Hallelujah. 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.319 And I learned in every situation we put the word of God first. 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.520 All right, we put the word of God first. 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.560 Not what we think, but what the word says. 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:20.479 What does the word say? 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.400 Amen. 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:30.479 And when you begin to learn that, that shakeability leaves your life. 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.639 Because I'm I understand that I'm working a law. 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:39.039 Right? 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:45.599 Nobody in here woke up this morning and thought, oh Lord, if I get out of bed, will I float to the ceiling? 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:47.360 Right? 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:54.479 Because you realize and you understand that there's a law called gravity, and it's and you're not making it work. 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.680 You're cooperating with it. 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:09.680 When you get in an airplane and you apply the laws of thrust and lift, right, you don't do away with the law of gravity, you supersede the law of gravity. 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:18.560 The Bible says in the word in the book of Romans that there's a law of the spirit of life, and there's a law of sin and death. 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.160 And it says the law of the spirit of life supersedes the law of sin and death. 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:37.360 When you got born again, the law of the spirit of life that became yours in Christ Jesus superseded the law of sin and death, overcame it, and made you a new creature in Christ Jesus. 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.839 That's how every law in the Word of God works. 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.600 The law of the Spirit of life. 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.040 It's a law. 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:49.279 Alright? 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.920 It works the same way for everybody. 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:56.160 Everybody that gets born again enters into the law of the spirit of life. 00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:01.680 Now, if they're taught what to do with it, it creates dividends for them. 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:18.079 If they're not taught what to do with it, because there are multitudes of Christians that are born again, they've been brought into the law of the spirit of life, but their idea is I'm just an old sinner saved by grace, and I'm just trudging through the trying to make my way through. 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.040 They're not living in the law of the spirit of life. 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:30.879 The law of the spirit of life, according to Paul in Romans chapter 8, has past tense made me free from the law of sin and death. 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.120 What is the law of sin and death? 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:34.480 It's just that. 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:48.800 Hallelujah. 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.759 And so John 17 and verse 17, it says, Sanctify them through your truth. 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.399 Your word is truth. 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.439 Your word is truth. 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.639 That verse revolutionized my life. 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:12.240 Because when I saw that, set them apart through your truth. 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.399 Your word is truth. 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:24.720 So then, anywhere I go in the word and I see the phrase the word of God, I see the word, I substitute it with the truth. 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.600 Your word is a lamp unto my feet. 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:32.079 The truth is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:33.199 Amen. 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:41.519 He said in 1 John, he said, I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in the truth. 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.040 Walk in the word. 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:44.720 Right? 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.120 And so he said, the word is truth. 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:54.560 That word truth meaning what is true in any matter under consideration. 00:06:55.279 --> 00:07:00.480 The word is true in any matter under consideration. 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.360 Now, here's what I'm saying: that's a law. 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:06.959 The word is truth. 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:08.480 You can't change that. 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:13.600 Whether you believe it or not, you can't change the fact that the word's truth. 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:14.879 Every part of it. 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:16.720 Every part. 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:18.399 It's all truth. 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:20.000 Amen. 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.480 That's a law. 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:30.639 And so what you believe about the truth of the word of God determines how it functions in your life. 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.279 Truth cannot fail. 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:35.360 Right? 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.199 Truth cannot fail. 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.040 Because truth is the highest form of reality that exists. 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.759 If something's true, there's no higher form of reality in that area. 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:49.040 Right? 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:50.879 Two plus two is four. 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:57.040 There are harder mathematical equations, but for that realm, there's nothing higher than two plus two. 00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:58.000 That's truth. 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.399 Two plus two will never be five. 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:01.839 Why? 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.360 Because two plus two equaling five is not truth. 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.120 It's weak. 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.360 The law is two plus two equals four. 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:13.519 That's the law. 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.319 And when you try to break the law, what do you get? 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:17.759 A wrong answer. 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:31.040 When you break the law, when you break the law of, for instance, of this scripture, when you say, Well, I don't know about that, I don't know about that verse, you know, everything's true. 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:32.399 I just don't know about that. 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:37.840 You've just broken the law, the spiritual law, that the word is truth. 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.559 The only thing that produces in your life is truth. 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.200 That's all that produces. 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:54.159 Now, now, now, other things will produce if you forsake the law that the word is true. 00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:02.240 So when you say something, when you say something like this, by his stripes I'm healed, you're declaring the truth. 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:04.000 Now, now hear me. 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:09.360 You're not just declaring what you want, you're declaring the truth. 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:18.240 And every part of you, if you believe it, has to align itself with the truth. 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.000 That's the law. 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.000 What you believe, you become in conformity to. 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:33.200 And so, no matter what I may be dealing with in my body, no matter what the doctor may say, no matter what I may have been found, by his stripes I'm healed. 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:34.159 That's truth. 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.000 Now, what will truth do? 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:40.080 It will supersede the law of sin and death. 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.200 What's that the sickness is part of the law of sin and death. 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.080 It will supersede it, it will uproot it. 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.720 So your faith journey starts with the word is truth. 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:52.559 That you settle that. 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.039 Everything now is what does the word say? 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:10.240 I was talking to a person one time, I was counseling their marriage, and uh this individual looked at me and they said, Well, you know, a person can only take so much, and you know, you just can't be expected to take this and take that. 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.600 And I said, 1 Corinthians 13 says you're wrong. 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.399 Because 1 Corinthians 13 says love is patient and kind. 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:20.559 Right? 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.720 Love pays no attention to a suffered wrong. 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:26.480 They just kind of looked at me. 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.039 You know, sometimes when you preach this stuff, people wonder if you really live it. 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.559 If I preach it and I don't live it, that makes me a liar. 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.320 And the Bible says all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.240 I'm not going to hell for nobody. 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.360 And so what we declare is what we believe. 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:47.279 Amen. 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.279 And if you got to start talking to your circumstances, listen to me. 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.279 The word, now I'm not telling you to listen to me, I'm saying you say that to your circumstances. 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:56.000 Listen to me. 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:57.360 The word is truth. 00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.679 And I'm speaking the word to you. 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.720 And you're going to come in line to the word of God. 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.440 You're going to conform yourself to the word of God. 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:14.960 Situation, you're going to bend, you're going to conform, you're going to come in line with the word of God, because you are not the highest form of reality that exists. 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:19.679 The truth of the word of God is the highest form of reality that exists. 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:21.360 Whoo, glory to God. 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:23.440 Amen. 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:34.159 So when we take the time to get the word in us concerning anything, we're placing the truth concerning that thing on the inside of us. 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:40.639 But I've got to take the time to get the truth on the inside of me. 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:42.399 Amen. 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.320 Truth always wins. 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.000 Truth always upsets falsehood. 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.679 It may not look like it, but it always wins. 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:52.720 Why? 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:54.320 Because truth is of God. 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:55.200 God is true. 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.279 The Bible says, let God be true. 00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:58.720 Let God be truth. 00:11:58.799 --> 00:11:59.279 And what? 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.960 Every other thing, a lie. 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:03.039 Is that right? 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:16.799 And so you keep putting the truth on the inside of you about that, and it will uproot, it will supersede, it will push out, it will cause to come to nothing that thing that's not true. 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.279 This is so important. 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.720 See, because think about this. 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:26.639 We use the illustration of by his stripes I'm healed. 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:33.679 If you're healed, and that's the truth, then the falsehood would be that you're sick. 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:35.759 That's not denial. 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:36.720 You don't deny it. 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:38.000 You don't deny symptoms. 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:42.080 You don't deny reports, but you don't call yourself sick. 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:43.679 Why? 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:45.120 That would be a lie. 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:49.919 What's the truth? 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:51.919 By his stripes, I'm healed. 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:53.919 Amen. 00:12:54.240 --> 00:13:02.240 I may not feel healthy, but according to the word, I have found the word of God, and he said it is health to all of my flesh. 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:05.200 Is that right? 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.919 So are you healthy or are you sick? 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:08.960 What's that? 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:10.559 You're healthy. 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:10.879 Why? 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:12.480 Because the word says you are. 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:14.399 Yeah, but I don't feel healthy. 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.200 Feelings have nothing to do with truth. 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.919 You can tell me that you feel like there's no gravity here. 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:23.120 There is gravity here. 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:23.919 It's a law. 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.639 Doesn't matter if you feel what does gravity feel like?

00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.680 This person never says, I don't know what I'm gonna do. 00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:29.200 Right? 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:30.480 We go to the word. 00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:32.400 Right?

00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:09.359 If you see yourself according to the word of God, the Bible tells you, why does the Bible tell you you're more than a conqueror, that you can do all things through Christ, that he always causes you to triumph. 00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.319 Thanks be to God that always gives us the victory. 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:18.640 Why does he tell you that you're beloved, that you're a child of God, that you're the head and not the tail, that you're above and not beneath? 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:20.079 Why does he tell you that? 00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:23.519 So you'll see yourself like that. 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:27.200 Right? 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:34.720 How impossible to have down days when you see yourself above only. 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:37.200 Amen. 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:39.920 I like the way that is in Spanish. 00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:41.599 Encima solamente. 00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:44.240 I'm only above. 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:46.400 Only above. 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:47.839 Right?
