Yeah. So, you know, Matthew 12, 37 tells us, you know, by the fruit of your lips, you shall be justified by the fruit of your lips. You shall be condemned. The reason why Adam, you know, God had Adam named the animals was not because God was tired. He could have named the animals himself, but he was teaching Adam was that there's power in your tongue, right?

So if you're sitting there and you're saying, you know, it's a rhinoceros, it's a dog, you know, it's a hippo, whatever. So shall it be is what, You know, God was teaching Adam, but it's in the same stroke. If I say that I'm a sinner and nothing's going to work out, I'm depressed, I'm lonely, I have anxiety.

And it's leading me and dragging me according to what I say. But if I sit there and I say, although I sinned, God has washed my sin. I can continuously move forward boldly and meet him at the throne of grace, at the throne of mercy, then it gives us this type of confidence to move forward. It's not a prideful ego thing. It's, God, I'm assuming my identity because you gave me your identity.

You gave me your crown. You gave me literally everything that I need. Even your cross, you gave it to me because I was crucified on that cross with you, right? So it's very important. to understand that what we say, our heart is going to follow that as well. There is power in that tongue. When I thought I was a gang member, that's how I moved. Oh, I got shot. I've been stabbed.

I'm just going to be a prisoner for the rest of my life. I'm a two-strike felon. When I followed that mindset and I trusted that, yeah, I'm a gang member. I'm no good. Like, I'm going to just do whatever I want. I lived in that depression. But when I heard the gospel through Hebrews 10, 14, four by one offering, he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.

Perfected as in past tense, forever is eternally. Meaning Jesus did everything. He didn't fail. So I was able to assume that, wow, I need to stop trusting Johnny Chang and his thoughts. I need to start trusting the word of God. And the more I did that, I started to read the Bible, I started to really know God. And it was much different than me trusting in myself.

Of course, if you have an actual water baptism, it is a declaration of faith, and it is an opportunity for us to preach the gospel, because at the end of the day, the gospel is what's going to save us, right? Not being dunked in water, right?
