TC3.Church | Dust to Dominion, Part 3 | 10:30am Service

Flood your mind with the fact that one day you're gonna stand before the king of kings and the lord of lords. And what you've done is not gonna be enough. But when Jesus has done, it's already enough. This, my friends, is the gospel. [01:07:16] (19 seconds)  #JesusIsEnough

and you're gonna miss the mark. But God is gonna simply say, hey, my son's blood, cover. Welcome home. Your debt is paid. This is what we have. And if we flood our minds with that, we'll be able to forgive because we have been greatly forgiven. [01:06:45] (31 seconds)  #CoveredByHisBlood

If you're having a hard time forgiving someone, it it it simply means that you believe they owe you something. I keep picturing Will Smith in the hospital with Carlton when Carlton first got a gun and Will wants the gun back and he's looking at Carlton and he's crying and he's like, you owe me. This is the picture of our unwillingness to forgive. We think somebody else owes us something. There is no peace as long as we are trying to get even. The gospel of Jesus Christ simply declares that there is an end to that battle. [00:49:55] (39 seconds)  #StopKeepingScore

That includes us. You know? Let who Jesus is be what your heart marinates in. Let it transform how you see other people, especially those that have hurt you. Flood your mind with Jesus and who he has been, who he always will be. As a result of his actions, his master handed him over to to the jailers to be tortured until he should pay back all that he owed. [01:01:15] (31 seconds)  #MarinateInJesus

The posture of they hurt me, so I wanna hurt them. They cheated on me, so I want them to feel my pain. They got one over on me, so I want to get one over on them. All of that goes away at the foot of the cross and when we understand how greatly we have been forgiven. See, one of the signs that we are maturing as followers of Jesus Christ is that we no longer have to have the final say. It doesn't matter what it looks like to other people. [00:50:55] (32 seconds)  #NoNeedForRevenge

We can look at fault. We can look like the bad person, but simply because of who Jesus says that we are and simply because the father has the final say, we can walk in Godfidence and say, it don't matter what they say. I got a father who loves me and that I'm living for and that I can walk in integrity with and I am fine. It doesn't matter what anybody else says or thinks. [00:51:27] (26 seconds)  #Godfidence

Spiritual maturity being made into the image of Jesus, it enables us by by the power of the holy spirit to outgrow this tendency of having to have the last word. Why? Because we know that God has the final say. And we can do this because we know, we believe, and we find our hope in knowing that no matter how how bad we've been hurt, [00:52:08] (28 seconds)  #MatureInChrist

we don't have to seek to get even because the God we serve, well, he reigns and he rules and he's in control and what he says about us matters most. Actually, it's the only thing that matters. That doesn't mean that we get to say, God, you go get them. Sick them, Lord. Like, that's not that's not, like, that's not what this is. That's not what we get to say.
