True Freedom: Living Within God's Loving Boundaries

Satan works in such a way that he will convince you that everything is good when it is absolutely not. He will convince you that the water at the bottom of your boat is nothing more than the water that you accidentally slapped in while you were growing the boat. When in fact there's a hole in your boat. And you won't realize that there's a hole in your boat until the boat starts to sink. [00:12:38] (23 seconds)  #RecognizeTheHiddenDanger

You are set free for a reason. Christians, you are set free for a reason because here's the thing. You get to live differently from the rest of the world. You get to have a freedom they don't know. You get to have a strength they don't understand. [00:13:21] (17 seconds)  #SetFreeToLiveDifferently

I've lost a whole person, and I feel better than I've felt in 10, 15 years. The reality is, I took control of my life. I submitted unto God first. Remember, I wasn't one who necessarily made this choice. I was actually adverted to it. But God led me down a path and answered prayer and opened doors and caused me to walk through it for his glory, for his name's sake. And now I'm going to use it to glorify God because the weight that I've lost is not mine. [00:18:17] (28 seconds)  #VictoryThroughSubmission

Christians don't use your freedom for the opportunity to sin. Oh, I have freedom. I can do whatever I want. But you can't avoid the consequences. You can't avoid the consequences. And to be honest, if your heart is, I am saved so I can do whatever I want, I think you need to reevaluate your salvation. [00:21:43] (24 seconds)  #FreedomIsNotLicense

Don't act like there ain't no way to devote yourself to God because I don't know how to devote. I can't devote myself to anything. You devote yourself to things all the time. You know, you feed yourself every day, don't you? I mean, most of us. Right? And when you feed yourself, I bet all of you guys eat Brussels sprouts and nasty spinach and gross stuff that you never want to eat. Right? No. You eat good stuff. Right? You eat the things you enjoy. [00:26:42] (27 seconds)  #DevotionIsDiscipline

Stop getting up every morning and convincing yourself you can't be good enough. You're not perfect. And therefore, why do you try? And start submitting to God every day, every moment that you have to, one thing in your life. One thing in your life. [00:30:02] (15 seconds)  #SubmitDailyToGod

When I started the process of giving my sin to God, when I started the process of giving my addiction to God, one of the very first things that happened was, I started to trade off my want and desire for an automatic response towards God. [00:31:39] (17 seconds)  #AutomaticGodlyResponse

There are two factors inside of you. There is the world. There is the idea of sin. It has a hold on you. It's called slavery, and it's called bondage for a reason, and it is what it is. It feels like freedom when you're doing it. It feels like a trap when you try to stop, but it is the enemy. And then there's another side. There's a righteous side. There's a holy side. There's a side that looks to God first and self-last. [00:35:18] (26 seconds)  #BattleBetweenSinAndRighteousness

If you really believe in Christ, if you really submit to God, would you not also start to submit and surrender these things to God as well? Well, you're telling me to be perfect. No, I'm not. I'm telling you to start the process. Run the race. Most of you guys, some of you guys aren't even in the race. Start running the race. [00:41:27] (24 seconds)  #StartTheRaceToday

The fruits of the spirit, love, joy. That's not happiness, by the way. Joy happens even in bad circumstances. Joy happens even when your world falls in error. Happiness is just a state of mind. One minute I'm happy, next minute I stub my toe. I ain't happy anymore. Peace. Patience. Some of you guys are getting a little work on this one. Kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. [00:41:55] (27 seconds)  #FruitOfTheSpiritJourney
