Welcome to our Tuesday’s broadcast of

the Gospel truth today I’m continuing my

teaching verse by verse through the book

of Philippians we’re in Philippians

chapter 3 and in verse 6 I’m going to

backtrack just a little bit right before

I do that let me just say that we’ve got

a lot of material on this I’m giving

away this little booklet this is about

120 page

booklet and this is a printed copy of

what I taught in Atlanta at a gospel

truth conference

where I was teaching verse by verse

through the book of Philippians and

they’ve just taken this and put it into

a book form I’m giving this away and

this would be a blessing to you and uh

then we also have the CDs and DVDs and

the USB from the Atlanta conference

where I taught verse by verse through

this and then you can also get CDs DVDs

or a USB from these television programs

so our announcer will give out all of

that information at the end of the

program and I encourage you to please

take advantage of that let me also

mention that I’m using my uh life my

living

commentary uh but I’ve written footnotes

on over

27,000 verses in the Bible and this is a

digital commentary we call it a living

commentary because I’m still writing it

and if you purchase this you uh every

time you go on our website it will

automatically update and give you all of

my additions

Corrections uh anything things like that

that I’ve done and it’s a living

commentary once I’m gone to be with the

Lord we’ll turn it into a static

commentary I’ll quit writing it then but

at the moment I’m still writing this so

yesterday we ended well let me go back

to uh Philippians chapter 3:3 and just

go to the last half of this verse where

Paul said that he rejoices in Christ

Jesus and has no confidence in the flesh

did you know it’s either going to be one

or the other either you are going to

find your total identity worth and value

in Christ or you’re going to find it in

yourself but it can’t be both of these

together and I think that most people

really struggle with this most people

think well you know I know that Jesus is

what puts me over the top he’s the icing

on the cake he’s the sauce on the

spaghetti I admit that Jesus is you know

the best part but man I’ve also got to

be something and people take a lot of

pride in all of their accomplishments

you know the scripture says what do you

have that you haven’t received from God

and if you’ve received it then why do

you glory as if you haven’t received it

did you know the truth is if you have

great talent if you can sing if you can

do something athletically better than

other people if you are smart and you

can do things with your wisdom and if

you’re great in finances or you could

just go on and on listing things

anything good good in you it came from

God and the proper way to look at things

isn’t there it isn’t to think that God

I’m really awesome I’ve got these great

talents and I just ask you to put your

super on my natural and you just use it

and you make it and but you are really

rejoicing in yourself it’s that’s not

right you need to come to a place that

any good thing in your life God is the

source of it and you know for me it is

just so obvious I I mention these things

and and when I say these things I have

people that will get mad at me and they

say you’re putting yourself down I’m not

putting myself down I know who I am in

Christ and in Christ I’m awesome but I’m

just saying that in my flesh uh I don’t

glory in myself the Apostle Paul was

saying this same thing he went on to say

in verse four though I might also have

confidence in the flesh if any other man

thinks that he has whereof he might

Trust In the Flesh I am more circumcised

The Eighth Day of the stock of Israel of

The Tribe of Benjamin a Hebrew of the

Hebrews as touching the law of Pharisee

concerning Zeal persecuting the church

touching the righteousness which is in

the law

blameless in verse 7 he says but what

things were gained to me those I counted

lost for Christ yay doubtless I count

all things but lost you know I’m not

going to go into a great explanation on

this but when he says I count all things

but loss that word there that uh the

Greek word that was used it means to

lead that is command with official

Authority uh figuratively to deem or

consider in other words it’s saying that

he aggressively took all of his Great

accomplishments and he took them by

force and counted them but lost for the

Excellency of the knowledge of Christ

Jesus my Lord for whom I have suffered

the loss of all things and do count them

but Dum that I may win Christ I just

love the way the Bible is written I love

the way that God inspired people here’s

Paul talking about I was a Pharisee of

the Pharisees I was a Hebrew of the

Hebrews I was more educated I was better

off than any of you all of you who are

bragging about your great

abilities he says I was I had more

accomplishments than all of you and yet

I count all of that stuff but dung

manure

so that I may win Christ and again most

people will reject the things that I’m

saying that’s the reason that you don’t

have the results that the Apostle Paul

had that’s the reason that when somebody

comes out and criticizes you you just

fall apart like a $2 suitcase because

look what they said about me you love

yourself so much you are so impressed

with yourself that when everybody else

isn’t impressed with you it just breaks

your heart did you know when you come to

the end of yourself and you get to where

you are not not in love with yourself it

doesn’t mean you hate yourself it

doesn’t mean that you you don’t

recognize that God has given you talents

and ability but you recognize any good

thing that is in you it all comes from

Jesus you give him all the credit and so

when somebody comes out against you and

criticizes you it’s no big deal you’re

dead to yourself you know that’s what

Paul said he says I’m crucified with

Christ yet I’m alive but it’s not me

it’s Christ Living in me and Jesus got

all of the credit for everything that

the Apostle Paul did and because of that

when people came out against him if

you’re dead to yourself it’s not going

to affect you you could take a corpse

and you could lay a corpse in front of a

person and you could spit on the corpse

you could kick the corpse you could

ignore the corpse you could insult the

corpse and if it’s a corpse it’s not

going to respond you know why you

respond the way you do is cu you aren’t

a corpse you Aren’t Dead to yourself you

love yourself you have so much

confidence in your flesh that when you

see other people that don’t have

confidence in your flesh it offends you

you know the scripture

says that you’re to agree with your

adversary quickly while you’re in the

way now I’ll admit I’m kind of taking

that and using it in maybe a different

way than it was originally intended when

Jesus said that but here’s the way I do

that when the Devil comes to me and he

says you’re a loser when somebody

criticizes me and comes against me and

says you’re a mess and stuff instead of

of sitting there and trying to defend

myself and trying to get them to love me

as much as I love myself you know what

I’ll just agree with my adversary

quickly while I’m in the way and say you

know what you’re right if I was God I

wouldn’t have chosen me I’m not the

sharpest knife in the drawer I don’t

have any confidence in my flesh praise

God for Jesus who was awesome and lived

for me and has given me his

righteousness and his ability and I am

standing in Christ and I just don’t try

and defend myself I actually had a man

one time he was a leader in the

city and he was criticizing me and and

the this is when covid happened and all

of the city leaders came

a a commissioner and they were railing

on me and you’re going to do what we say

and you cannot we we could accommodate

5,000 people in our facilities in

different rooms and stuff and they were

saying we couldn’t have over 75 people

or something like that and I just said

I’m not going to do it and they said you

are going to do it you have to respect

us and he this one guy got the saying

you have no integrity and he said you

have you’re just a and he started

blasting me and saying things and you

know I just looked at him and I said

look I have been criticized by a lot

more important people than you I said

this is not going to bother me and I

know that that just ins senses some

people but

honestly you know it just if you find

your life in Christ the only thing I

desire is to please the Lord and to

bring glory to God and I am not sitting

here promoting myself I don’t have

confidence in myself it’s easy for me to

turn things over and let other people do

it now I’ll take the responsibility that

God has given me that I am responsible

for what happens in and through this

ministry and if I see things getting off

track I’ll straighten it out and I’m not

advocating my responsibility but I don’t

micromanage everything because I do not

think that I am better than everybody

else I’ve got people working for me that

are a lot smarter than I am the only

difference is I’m the one that God

anointed to run this ministry and so it

doesn’t matter if they’re smarter if

they’re more talented than I am I’m the

one that God chosen I’ve taken my

position but I am not overly confident

in myself I have learned to just find

any value any worth any good thing in my

life it’s because of

Jesus most of you don’t know me but man

I was an introvert I couldn’t even look

at a person in the face and now I

minister to millions of people every day

I’m doing things that I know I can’t do

and because of it it just gives me a

security it you know when you get to

where you think you can do

everything uh you’re actually weak when

you’re strong but Paul said in 2

Corinthians chapter 12 when I’m weak

then I’m strong but when you’re strong

you’re really weak God’s power doesn’t

flow through you when you are doing

things in your own strength and own

ability you need to come to the end of

yourself before you find the beginning

of God did you know back when our

ministry was small and we only had like

two or $3,000 a month was our monthly

income we were struggling financially we

had collection agencies coming after us

and back during that time I had always

kind of had it in the back of my mind

that well if it doesn’t work out I can

go get a job and I can make the money

and I can pay off these debts and as

long as there was something I could do

to make this happen I actually struggled

but did you know now we are at a place

where I have I don’t remember the exact

number but it’s something like 11 or

$12,000 per hour 24 hours a day 7 days a

week 365 days a year I have to have it

is just so far beyond my ability that

you know actually it’s easier for me now

when we have to have8 million1 million

do a month to pay our bills it’s

actually easier on me now because it’s

just so far beyond me that there I can’t

go get a job I can’t do this out so it’s

just easy to say God it’s got to be you

as long as you think that you can Sol

solve the problem that you’ve got Plan B

and if trusting God doesn’t work out

maybe I can do this well then I

guarantee you Satan is going to fight

you and you will struggle and stuff but

when you just realize that God has

called you to do something that’s so far

beyond you you can humble yourself and

throw your care about it over on the

Lord and it’s a great way to

live this is what Paul’s talking about

he was more talented than any of his

critics and yet he says I have no

confidence I’m rejoicing in Christ I am

not rejoicing in

myself you know I have people come up

all the time and tell

me how God has touched their life and

how they’ve been blessed and things like

this and I know I know better than

anybody else that it is not me that has

done this it’s God and man I give God

all the credit and all the glory for it

and I just constantly do that but

there’s a lot of people that h honly

they begin to start taking credit they

start looking at what they’ve done if

you would be honest I bet you you’ve

seen lots of people that started out

good and then they crashed and burned

along the way I’m talking primarily

about ministers that maybe they started

with a pure heart but it didn’t last and

I think one of the reasons for that is

is because if you see God flow through

you and somebody gets healed some

marriage gets healed people get born

again things are happening and stuff and

they come and they start thanking you uh

there is a Temptation for you to take

the credit for that and to think man

look what I’ve done and the moment you

start having confidence in your flesh

think about look what I have

done man you that’s a recipe for

disaster Proverbs 16:18 says Pride goes

before destruction and a hotty spirit

before the fall you know when we re

building our

Auditorium it was still under

construction and we had the mayor and

the uh Chamber of Commerce and city

council and other people come and we

were giving them a tour and we were

standing up on the roof looking at the

the building as it was under

construction and the mayor looked at me

and he says You must be so

proud I said pride is not the right word

I said that would imply that I’ve done

this and I said I have not done this

this is something that God wanted done

he asked me to do it and I’ve responded

but it is is God I said I can’t take

credit for any of

this and some of you may not understand

that and I’m saying this in love but

that’s the very reason that God’s not

using you because he’s not going to take

his glory and give it to

you men will do that but you have to

constantly deflect that and you need to

recognize that there’s nothing in me

that didn’t come from God if it’s good

it there’s nothing in me good that

didn’t come from God and if it came from

God well then why am I taking credit as

if I was the source of it man this is

what Paul is saying and Paul said that

he counted all of the things that he had

done and he these were good things that

he had done I mean he he studied the

word he was a Pharisee of the Pharisee a

Hebrew of the Hebrews he had done all of

these things and he says I take all of

these things and I count all of these

rewards all of his accomplishments I

count them but dung that I may win

Christ you know what we do with our dung

with all of our accomplishments we frame

it put it on the wall for everybody to

see look at my dung you know I was

teaching this in my Bible school about

20s something years ago and I actually

had somebody take a cow patty and they

waited until it got hardened and then

they framed it and put it in a frame and

gave it to me and I kept that from in my

garage for a long time finally my wife

threw it away but it was a graphic

illustration of what I’m talking about

Paul said he counts it but D we count

our we we glory and ours have a Manel

where we put all of our Awards I’m not

saying that that’s 100% wrong it really

depends on your heart but if you are

taking credit for that if you are

thinking man I am better than these

people I done

this you are the opposite of what the

Apostle Paul was and here we are 2,000

years later talking about the Apostle

Paul do you think if the Lord terries

2,000 years from now people will be

talking about you I would think that his

attitude is a superior attitude instead

of us gloring in all of our stuff and

being just so enamored with who we are

and that’s why you are so sensitive when

somebody else doesn’t share your view of

you you know if you don’t have an

inflated impression of yourself when

people don’t give you honor that you

think you deserve when they don’t give

you the recognition you don’t get the

promotion it doesn’t bother you because

you aren’t that impressed with

yourself if people ignore

you but I guarantee you there’s a lot of

people that if you don’t get the credit

that you think you deserve boy that’s

reason for you to get angry you know the

scripture says in Proverbs chapter 13

verse 10 only by pride comes contention

it didn’t say it’s a leading cause for

those with type A personality this is

what makes you have strife and

contention it says only by pride comes

contention and pride isn’t just

arrogance thinking you’re better than

everybody else pride is just self

centeredness if you spell the word p r i

d i is the center of Pride there are

people with low self-esteem that are

very prideful you are focused on

yourself you are constantly comparing

yourself and thinking you’re worse than

everybody else did you know that that’s

Pride low

self-esteem is pride where you’re just

beating yourself down I’m not talking

about denying the fact that God has used

you God has blessed you that you have

succeeded that you may be a success in

the business world I’m not saying that

you deny those things but I’m saying you

recognize that all of the good anything

good in you is because of God and it’s

because you have yielded to God and

you’ve let God live through you it’s not

your own flesh I tell you you’ve got to

get that attitude and this is rare this

is nearly this is opposite of the way

the world thinks but even in the body of

Christ there are very very very few

people that are not impressed with who

they are especially if they are in a

leadership position and if God has used

them and if anything good has happened

most people are just really thinking

that boy God you are so blessed to have

me on your team you need to recognize

like I said that God has never had

anybody qualified working for him yet

God uses Us in spite of who we are not

because of who we are you know I had a

man come to one of my meetings one time

I I was at the fips auditorium in Denver

and we had about three or 400 people

come and anyway after the thing was over

he wrote a letter and my mother was one

that was opening the letters and boy she

thought this was hilarious so she

brought this letter in me and this guy

Shar that he had been called to the

ministry 12 years before but when he

tried to go into the ministry his wife

said she did not want to be a pastor’s

wife and she divorced him and she took

the kids and it separated his family and

so for 12 years he’d just been sitting

there licking his wounds thinking how

could God ever use

me and he came to that meeting and he

wrote in this letter he says after

seeing God use you he said I figured if

God could use you he could use anybody

and he says I decided I’m going into the

ministry and my mother brought that to

me she thought it was funny and I

understood exactly that’s the way I feel

if God can use me God can use anybody he

used the donkey one time to speak to

balum man God does God didn’t use that

donkey because he’d been fasting and

praying and studying the word and living

holy and doing anything if God could use

a donkey he could use you you need to

you need to pop your bubble get out of

yourself get over yourself and take all

of your Great accomplishments and say

God the only good thing in me is what

you have done you’re the one that gave

me the talents and the abilities all the

Lord had have to do is just scramble the

chemicals in your brain just a little

bit man you’d be having drool dripping

off your chin somebody leading you about

by the hand I guarantee you you are not

a self-made man or woman any good thing

in you it’s because of Jesus and you

need to get over yourself and get into

God you know I man I’ve just now laid

the foundation to say some really

important things Paul is going to be

saying some of the most revealing things

about why he was able to be used of God

why God used him and here we are 2,000

years later talking about the Apostle

Paul it he’s revealing his heart here

and I tell you this is so important you

aren’t going to hear this very often you

are not going to hear very many people

say the things that I’ve been saying

that Paul is saying that I’m sharing

here from the book of Philippians

and that’s the reason that we see so

many people that just are miserable

today they’re depressed they’re

discouraged they’re talking suicide

their life is out of control and it’s

because they are in love with themsel

they haven’t yielded their life over

they haven’t become like the Apostle

Paul where he said for me to live as

Christ and to die as gain when you get

over yourself and you get to where you

put all of your love all of your worth

all of your value everything into Jesus

instead of into yourself then you can

take whatever life throws at you because

Jesus is going to be the same yesterday

today and forever you aren’t you will

fail you will be up and down like a

yo-yo but Jesus is consistent and I tell

you you need to come into Christ you

need to find your worth and value you

know we got a number on the

screen and we’ve got people standing by

phone center open 24/7 and I’d like to
