Freedom in Christ - Pastor Gino Bryant

And that's what I wanna do today with you. I wanna I wanna ask you something great. Alright? I wanna I don't wanna lose an opportunity with you because I I missed it. Here's what I wanna ask you. Two things. First, I want you to make it your aim to please the Lord. Every day, every minute, every hour, please the Lord. And I want you to make it your aim. Secondly, to if you see others in bondage, to begin to move in towards that situation if the lord leads to possibly reveal the freedom that they could have if the Lord leads you. So make it your aim to please the Lord, and then make it your aim to move into others situations with God's direction, to open up their eyes to see his glory and to see that they could be free. Will you do that with me? [01:22:04] (65 seconds)  #AimToPleaseTheLord

What does being captive or being bound look like or feel like? It's a cycle of depression. It can be a cycle of of just, you know, sabotaging themselves. You know, you'll see them. They'll get a little bit of victory, then they're sabotaged. Then they're, you know, it's just a cycle that continues on, and and that sin just keeps coming back. Some people have willpower to overcome a sin for a little bit, and then they and then and then, you know, with substance abuse, it's the same thing. You'll see a person that that they get over a little bit. They'll go to the rehab, and then they're just back out there. [00:54:05] (33 seconds)  #RecognizeCycleOfBondage

Are you thankful for Jesus? I'm thankful for Jesus, man. He's done so much in my life and he took the the penalty of death for my sins. He he fulfilled the law for my life. I don't have to try to fulfill a law to get his approval. I just get to walk with him and have communion with him and have fellowship with him and obey his spirit. Somebody say amen. Get to obey the spirit of the lord. We get to move with him. I wanna I wanna share with you just a little bit. I wanna talk about freedom for the captives. I'm gonna talk about the power of god to set captives free and [00:38:14] (35 seconds)  #ThankfulForJesus

Somebody say amen. I wanna see a miracle in the cereal aisle. Right? I wanna see a I wanna see a miracle in the in the alcohol aisle that I see a friend from work on that aisle, and I just captained to go by it. And I see him down there, and I'm like, I'm able to go down there and talk to him about the Lord and say Jesus is his living water, brother. He loves you, man. And and tell him tell him the things of of the kingdom and and how that he's he he's much more fulfilling than alcohol or feeling more fulfilling than some substance that they're they're addicted to. And that's that's that's my assignment to you, and my assignment for God is to is to equip you and so I'm gonna share some things today just personally for you but also that you can put in your pocket and be able to share it with others.

God is a multiplier of what we put in his hand. Somebody say amen. God is a multiplier. I'm a say it again. God is a multiplier of what we put in his hand. Amen. Come on now. Again, god multiplies what we put in his hands. Amen? And then guess what? When you put it in his hands, listen to this principle. It's gonna be it's gonna be earth shattering, right? Because often times, we are waiting on god to send us the money first before we do anything. [00:27:44] (35 seconds)  #GodMultipliesWhatYouGive

What happened when the need was there, the fish and loaves showed up. And then when the need was there, the baskets were full of provision. So think about this in your life. As you're moving obedient to god, what you need is gonna show up. As you're faithful to him. Somebody say amen. Amen. As you're faithful. Many are waiting on, well, when I get this big thing, I'll do it, god. No, it doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. Every day, be obedient. Somebody say amen. Amen. And watch what he does in your life. Can I have the ushers and usherettes to come? [00:28:29] (38 seconds)  #ObedienceBringsProvision

Somebody say amen. He always, we can't we can't out give god and whenever you release something into his his hand, it goes into your future, right? And all oftentimes, we we move in a way that we're we're living in this in this kind of a bondage where we're in a poverty mentality and if you think about the loaves, remember when Jesus multiplied the fish and loaves? times, Jesus refers back to that in his teaching to his disciples. Remember the fish and loaves. Remember the fish and loaves. Remember the fish and loaves. And I was studying that and I was like, god, why are you sending them back to that? And it was multiplication. Right? Somebody say multiply. [00:27:01] (43 seconds)  #TrustGodsMultiplication

Rich unto the lord. I know in this day, you know, it's a $5 bill in the house of the lord seems very very big amount, right? I I have you know, sometimes in our in our lives, we're we would drop $80 on a Sunday afternoon at dinner but when when the offering plate comes around on Sunday morning, it's it's hard to let go of $2, right? Do that. So, I want you to encourage you to really think about that and and really see if you're being just to god, you know, in the concept because a lot of times we we tighten down whenever it's time to give to god but then we're very liberal when it's time to do things for for others. So, you know, challenge yourself in that because god never leaves us unrewarded. [00:26:16] (44 seconds)  #GiveGenerouslyToGod
