changed
self-righteousness is motivated by the
fear of
punishment the fear of punishment and
the fear of consequences from
man the problem with being
self-righteous the problem with you
trying to through your own
agenda be right with God by what you do
be right with God by the plan that you
have is that it’s motivated by I have a
fear of punishment
and because of my fear of
punishment I need to do
something to fix the position that I
think I am
in I don’t believe God forgave me oh my
God I’m afraid he’s going to punish
me I better do something to fix this and
not only
that I I now fear the consequences of
man now I got to do something not only
to get myself right in God’s eye I need
to do something to get myself right back
in man’s eye you did something crazy or
something happened crazy in your life
and your brothers and sisters know about
it and they done do you out every which
way and now you got to do something to
get back right in their eye and you got
to do something to get by right and God
I I ain’t got time for all of that that
stuff will give you cancel I ain’t got
time for all that I ain’t got time for
all that I am free from men and I am
free because God has set me free but
what I’m not going to
[Applause]
do you know what irritates me how the
news reports on somebody
else’s problem in their life and them
jokers
got how and then everybody talks about
it how do we get up and talk about other
people’s issues as if you have
[Applause]
none what is that and church people do
it church people do it people that come
to church and say praise the Lord and I
love the Lord he heard my cry it’s not
that you don’t have issues you’ve just
worked real hard to keep yours in secret
and you really ain’t keeping nothing
secret because if you got a little
discernment you can tell you I can I can
smell sin you can tell it you think you
covering it up I can tell it just cuz I
don’t address it don’t mean I know you
ain’t doing nothing but I know everybody
doing something but that’s why God is
working on everybody and that’s why
everybody need mercy and everybody need
Grace because God is working on
everybody’s
issue but you got to get rid of
self-righteousness self-righteousness
the
fear of
punishment
you know you’re doing something secret
in the booth in the back in the corner
in the dark and you’re afraid I’m going
to be punished I got to stop doing this
I’m going to be punished I got to stop
doing this something bad going to happen
I got to stop doing this and so what
happens you’re you’re working
on living right because you’re afraid
that if you don’t you’re going to be
punished that’s just going to be just as
bad that ain’t going to last long you’re
going you’re living a life life trusting
you because of the fear of punishment
and not living a life trusting him and
his work of
Grace the pro you still got a big
problem the problem is you’re
self-righteous cuz you’re afraid that
God’s going to get you God’s going to
punish you and men going to get you as
soon as something happen I mean if you
have a flat tire you like see that
happen because I I didn’t quit that that
that happened that I God told me to quit
smoking we weed and I didn’t quit
smoking weed and that’s why I’m out here
right now and I ain’t got no spell ti I
got to live right I got to live right
all
wrong so you got a church full of people
that are gathered together because
they’re afraid of
God and they’re afraid God’s going to
punish
them and they’re not here because
they’re celebrating his Mercy they’re
not here because they’re celebrating his
grace they’re not here because God’s
good regardless of their goodness
they’re here out of self-righteousness I
work real hard to be good but you’re
working hard to be good because you’re
afraid that God’s going to punish
you so what that what does that
relationship look like it’s certainly
not a loving relationship cuz perfect
love cast out all fear love is not
complete because everything you’re doing
you don’t have I better join the choir
because if I don’t God going to take my
voice away from me I I I I better give
cuz if I don’t give God God’s going God
I could go broke I could lose my job I
can lose my business I can be homeless
just like them oh go h on my ti oh Jesus
Take it take make
[Applause]
it y’all got to know what I’m talking
about man
right okay let let me see if I can break
this down a little bit
more if we don’t have peace in our
conscience we’ll think God is
responsible for the evil in our lives
and we’ll come to the conclusion that he
is punishing us for our sins in some
way every time something happened to me
I thought it was a
punishment I’m so glad I knew Grace
because when I received the diagnosis of
cancer I would have thought oh my God
what did I do wrong to get
cancer God’s punishing me he gave me
this cancer he gave see now you’re
blaming him God don’t give cancer God
ain’t got no cancer to be giving
nobody but I’m thinking he punishing me
when was the last time something bad
happened to you and you had this little
thought God’s getting me back God’s
getting me back cuz I didn’t do
something right I ain’t been to church
in 3 years God’s getting me and then you
show up next Sunday at church I don’t
want you showing up because you’re a
fear punishing I want you showing up
because God’s Grace has been so good
throughout these last three years that
you can’t help but to just give him
praise and worship that’s why I want you
to show
[Applause]
up some of you at home right now
thinking you know the reason why I got
the flu right now I should have I should
have came to church now you shouldn’t
say stay there keep that keep all at
home keep that with
you I want y’all to think we got to wake
up from this I know it sounds Elementary
but this thing has been just destroying
our relationship with God and it keeps
staying out there and people keep
preaching and it’s just out there and
you keep believing that’s it and you
keep operating in self-righteousness
motivated out of a fear punishment and
it and and it’s so traditional in your
mind you know you like you can be doing
something that’s not according to God’s
word and you just keep doing it because
the tradition has is stronger than the
thing that you’re learning right
now I’m teaching you that worship is
what you do every day and you’ll get
right after I finish teaching that and
get up and say well come on man we’re
going to worship God in pongs and you
know good well that worshiping God in
songs ain’t real
worship it’s just what that’s that’s
what we always called
it if we don’t have peace in our
conscience we’ll think God is
responsible for the evil in our lives
and we’ll we’ll come to the conclusion
that he is punishing us for our sins in
some way that he’s punishing us for our
sin he’s punishing us for our
sins now how many you know sin has
consequences yeah but just CU sin has
consequences doesn’t mean that’s God’s
protocol and method to punish you
because of sin while you you you you get
consequences for sinning but what God
goes he shows up with his grace and he
says it’ll be all right I have forgiven
you I got Mercy don’t let what you did
stop you from what we plan on doing in
your
[Applause]
life all right if we have a wrong
conclusion about God like he punishes
you for your sins if we have a wrong
conclusion about God and when you have
that attitude about well God punishes
you for sin then you’ll look at
situations like mine oh he had cancer he
must have he sinned that’s why he got
that oh she lost her kid sin sin
sin oh oh oh he got a divorce oh sh sh
cuz cuz if he was doing the five things
I was doing he wouldn’t have got no
divorce
sh well he got put in
jail
they lost their house no mercy
compassion
nowhere and that gives you an excuse not
to do nothing sin they lost their house
because of sin they lost their job
because of sin they ain’t got nothing to
eat they ain’t got nothing to eat
because of Sin Sin they they hungry and
starving because son and then you turn
your back son
son touch not the unclean touch not the
unclean one going one guy was asked this
question the preacher he said uh when
Jesus went into the village and he
couldn’t heal
anybody how come Jesus couldn’t heal
anybody his response was
sin no I
wouldn’t it was
self-righteousness
sin all right watch this now
if we have wrong conclusion about God
and think God does that are you kidding
me you know how you know how crazy all
of us used to be and God’s mercy was
still there you know how stupid we used
to be and he still gave us a
job you know how crazy we used to be and
and he still we still got raise we still
got blessed the Lo still went through
all that stupid stupid stuff we did we
even told God we a want to have nothing
to do with him no more and just got so
blessed why because his mercy endureth
forever so sin is not an excuse cuz
we’ve all done plenty of
it what you we’ve all done plenty of it
yeah it might not have been the Big
10 but we all sin and come short of the
glory of God that’s what sin is coming
short it’s so shocking to me it freaks
me out when I say that and church people
think oh that’s not true I haven’t
sinned you have to twist the scripture
to even say what you just
said you ain’t never had a bad attitude
that’s
sin you have to you have to divide sin
up like this little sin and big sin in
order to to think that you’re not
involved in it everybody does something
that’s missing the
mark well you can have some perfect days
but you know attitude
wrong showing not in front of the waiter
or
waitress did I order this did I order
[Applause]
this
and you think that’s Christlike the
number one issue that God has with
people especially Christians is not sin
is how we treat one
[Applause]
another you you don’t think that’s a
problem how you treat one another how
you won’t forgive people how you how
you’re how you’re mean because you’re
mean to yourself you mean to other
people people treat other people like
they treat
themselves
and how you just love to blame everybody
for where you are and the reason why you
are where you are it’s because you won’t
accept responsibility for the part that
you played in the situation and rather
than accepting responsibility you play
the blame game and like I said last week
you got to stop blaming the floor for
you not being able to
dance the floor is not responsible for
you not being able to
dance
we are all
flawed and the only way that we can
stand here and sit here or me standing
and you sitting and declare anything
else is because of
Jesus you don’t get into heaven because
you all that please throw your list away
your list ain’t going to help you at the
gate you better not take it it could be
responsible for kicking you out because
you’re showing that you’re
self-righteous instead of Jesus
righteous I’m not going to the Gate of
Heaven cuz I’m self-righteous I’m going
because I’m Jesus righteous that means
I’m I’m righteous because of him I’m
redeemed because of him I’m saved
because of him I get to get in because
of him not because of
[Applause]
me you’re so scared to hear this because
you’re so traditionally used to hearing
wait a minute now you’ve got to buy your
way in you’ve got to earn it
self-righteousness you got to deserve it
self-righteousness you got to make sure
you you qualify for it you got to do
stuff to make God do something good for
you we got that Santa Claus
religion he sees you when you
sleeping he knows when you’re awake
I mean as a little boy I’m like how he
know I’m awake he knows when you’ve been
bad or good so if you want your
toys be good for goodness sake oh you
better watch
out what is it you better not
cry you better not what pout look at
that I’m telling you
why Santa
Claus is
coming to town and we took it and say
that just like
Jesus that’s just like Jesus he see you
when you
sleeping he knows when you awake Jesus
do he knows when you’ve been bad or good
so if you want Jesus you better be good
for goodness say oh you better watch
out
[Applause]
y’all get you get what I’m saying
now we do that all the
time and we’re famous about doing that
using other spiritual
things
I need you got to bless me so I’m more
fast and and and and and and and if I
fast long
enough and hard
enough he’ll give me
power well you missed the whole
boat he gave me
power I’ll give you power after he has
come he gave me power when I got born
again but I got to fast to get power and
lots of preachers around the world are
dying cuz they’re fasting trying to get
something they already
got you didn’t deserve power none of us
deserve power power is the ability to
get the job done we don’t deserve power
he gave us power because of his grace
and mercy I’ve empowered you with a
ability to get the job done he gave it
to you but you’re now trying to do
something
to earn
it
self-righteousness is a cloak over the
church that the church won’t wake up to
and
recognize I’m
self-righteous I’m I’m preaching I’m
teaching this sermon
today everything I could could trust in
my ability is still not good enough to
give me the articulation that I’m
presently walking in right
now I sit back there and I just look at
that thing like I know what you’re
saying I just don’t know how to say what
you
saying I have to trust
him I have to get all ugly and do all
that cuz I’m trying to get the thoughts
that he’s throwing at me right now to
try to figure out what’s going on I
ain’t never you know do the little
rockhead thing where did all that stuff
come I’m not just trusting
him because
tradition has made the word of
God of no
effect everybody need Jesus
amen everybody need
Jesus if we have a wrong conclusion
about God we will not flow in Grace we
will think we are just reaping from him
what we
deserve we think that we are reaping
from him what we
deserve every time we get something we
think we are reaping something we
deserve
man boy that that that hit me a couple
times I’m I’m reaping it
because I’m smarter than everybody I
work harder I I I I give I I even wrote
a little small book of a hundred things
I did to be blessed like I
am it it’s just one thing you
did you believ Jesus and his grace came
over your
life for
real how many people are walking around
in this world living lives out of a
sense that they are simply getting what
they deserve
think about it people are living their
life thinking they simply get what they
deserve they mishandled their
money so they think they deserve to be
poor they committed
adultery so they think they deserve to
lose their
marriage they were critical in demanding
of their children
children so they deserve to be estranged
from their children and not see
them they mistreat their bodies so they
they they think they deserve to be
sick they cheated at work so they
deserve to be fired they were
promiscuous in their youth so they
deserve to be
Barren they were alcoholics so they
deserve to lose everything
they betrayed a friend so they deserve
to be
friendless they are ugly grumpy angry or
just simply imperfect so they deserve to
be
rejected they turned their back on God
so they deserve for him to turn his back
on
them absolutely yes there are
consequences to our actions in this
world I know that but God the but the
god of Grace is Seated on the throne of
grace ready for us to come to the end of
ourselves to the end of our self-effort
to the end of Flesh and to throw
ourselves on his
Mercy do you know who God really is in
