So Jesus says it's wine. We look at it, it's water. Likewise, Jesus says, I made you righteous. I died for everything. No, but I'm still a sinner. When we focus on ourselves in this way, that's when we're able to kind of really fall short and not experience the true love and the blessing from God. And this is what I notice with a lot of people who come and say, I got to stop my sins.

Well, God already crucified everything. 2 Corinthians 5.17 says you're a new creature. It doesn't say you're being made a new creature. You are. So either you're a new creature or you're going to trust your thoughts. And if you trust your thoughts and what you see, you will fail. But if you trust the word of God that never changes... And you can continuously move forward with that identity.

Oh, I'm perfected through Jesus. I don't have to trust my thoughts. The world tells me to trust my thoughts, follow my heart. God says, lean not on your own understanding. Your heart is deceitful above all things. So which one am I going to trust? Either trust the word of God or trust my feelings. And that's kind of.

What I've noticed, at least in my experience of why people continuously fall short, feel that condemnation, which they think is conviction. Two different things. Right.

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. What I'm doing is I'm giving that power. Right.
