Who You Are In Christ-Co-Heirs with Christ

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another word-filled message by David Entry. Preaching is the means by which God manifests His word and nourishes our spirits. May the life of God enter into you and you as you listen to this message. Be blessed.

[0:19] Knowing your identity in Christ, because if you do not know who you are, people will tell you who you are and you will believe them. When you know who you are, you work with confidence.

[0:34] Most of the companies, top companies employ confidence, no certificates. Anyone who does not apologize and change and always say, there's a reason why I'm failing, there's a reason why I'm failing, that person is going to permanently remain a failure in life.

[0:54] If there's a reason why you are failing, there's a reason why you keep losing your job. And I keep losing my job because, you know, people don't like me in this country. If there's a reason why you keep losing your job, my bosses don't usually like me.

[1:08] You have to check yourself. Other than that, listen, you will never get any better job. And even if you start your own business, you will fail. Because you don't know how to work. How can you manage? Say identity.

[1:20] So in the same way, people come to church, they come to church and they don't realize that you have to know who you are in Christ other than that Satan will buffet you. He will shake you like wheat.

[1:31] That's what Jesus said. Jesus said that Peter, Satan has salt. He will, he will to shake you, shift you, whip you like wheat. Say identity. But if you know who you are, if you know who you are, if you know who you are, you cannot be bullied.

[1:52] You've got to know who you are. You have to know who you are. In Christ, God predates when the devil is, in Acts chapter 11, sorry, Acts chapter 19 verse 13, I think so.

[2:03] But read it from the screen, let's read it from the screen and see what's there. Acts chapter 19 verse 13. I feel the Holy Ghost here. Ah, this is the one I'm looking for. You see that? There's some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists.

[2:16] They are exorcists. They know how to cast out devils. Exorcists took it upon themselves to call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ over those who had evil species. You see, listen, people can have evil spirits.

[2:27] You can't tell by their addresses. They took it upon to cast out demons in people. So I was talking about their evil spirits in human beings, okay? So those who had evil spirits saying, we exorcise you by Jesus whom Paul preached.

[2:41] Listen to what the demon also said. If you speak, demon will speak. Demon also said that, so this is the sign of Psalms of verse 15. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know. Paul I know. But?

[2:52] But? Who are you? Shout it. Who are you? Say it again. Who are you? Even demons say, who are you? Say identity. Identity.

[3:03] So God spoke to my heart. Take your time and teach my people the identity in me. When you know who you are, demon asks you, who are you? Slap the demon and say, how are you? What did I say?

[3:13] What are some of the things I said earlier on about who we are in Christ? We are peace with God now and someone later. I spoke about how we are redeemed. Made alive in Christ. We are made alive in Christ. We have life.

[3:24] We have the life of Christ. We have been redeemed. We have been saved from our sins. And I also spoke about how we are sealed by the Holy Spirit.

[3:37] It's so important. So we are sealed by the Holy Spirit. We have the weakness of the Spirit in us. We have available to us the gift of the Holy Spirit. We are born again by God's word. God's word is what gives us born again.

[3:50] We are forgiven and washed, cleaned by the blood of Jesus. We have been reconciled and have peace with God. Say, have peace with God. Have peace with God. And we are a new creation in Christ.

[4:05] All things have become new. And did I speak about how we are co-heirs with Christ? And I'll pick it from there. We are co-heirs. Say co-heir.

[4:16] Co-heirs. And let's look at Romans chapter 8 verse 17. Romans chapter 8 verse 17 says that, from verse 16 makes it better. The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirits that we are children of God.

[4:30] And if children, then what? Heirs. Heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. Who is an heir? Sorry? Exorcist.

[4:41] Okay, so heir to the throne brings one of them. Okay. So when you are an heir, you are a success. Someone who has an entitlement by birth or family entitlement.

[4:55] Because of where you belong. Not what you do. You know, being an heir has not got to do what you do. It has everything to do with your bloodline and who you are.

[5:05] Who you understand that. So it says that we are. So Christ is the heir of God. What does that mean? Everything in God is realized in Christ. He is, the Bible says, his only begotten son.

[5:17] He gave him up. And everything God is. In fact, they asked Jesus that. Show us the father it will be okay for. If you see me, you have seen the father. There is nothing else you will get in God which you can't find in me.

[5:30] All is in him. The Bible says, in Jesus. In him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead. Colossians chapter 2 verse 9. I think so.

[5:41] Colossians chapter 2 verse 4. It is verse 9. It is serious. Let us read it from the screen. Let us read it. Let us go. For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead.

[5:55] Now, every. Do we have a message? And let's see how the message possibly may put it. Every. All right. Everything of God gets expressed in him. So you can see and hear him clearly.

[6:07] You don't need a telescope. A microscope. Or a horoscope. To realize the fullness of Christ. And the emptiness of the universe without him. Everything is packaged in him.

[6:22] You have him. You have everything. You have a special. They booked a holiday for you. Flight. Everything. Inclusive paid. They say, when you get to the airport. Just show the ticket.

[6:33] Here's the. Just show that ticket. And everything. First class. Everything. Palm print is there. And you misplace the ticket. Then you're in trouble. But when you have the ticket.

[6:43] You know. Everything is. Is. Is packaged. The ticket is an embodiment. Of your entitlement. That's right. When you have Christ. You have everything. It says. In him dwells the fullness of God.

[6:55] Bodily. So. You can say. You can. There's nothing. Else you can get in God. Outside of Christ. Yeah. It's just. That's what you Christians say. It's. Of course. That's the truth.

[7:06] I would tell you. To prove it. You to prove that is not the truth. The owner's lies. On the one. Who claims. I is not. Who is. Who is. Who is. Challenging. You. The owner's lie.

[7:17] Why are you telling me. I'm. Guilty. To prove it. Innocent. I am not. So. I'm telling you. That is what. That's the reality. You can prove it.

[7:28] That is not true. But I can prove it. With my life. I can prove it. With everything around me. I can prove it. With. I've tested it. I've practiced what he said. And what he guarantees. He said. When you do this.

[7:38] You see this. And I've done it. And I'm seeing it. And you. That's my proof. The evidence. Is the testimonies. Around my life. Okay. It is the testimony. So it tells you that. It's true. It's empirical.

[7:49] To know. That this thing. The bible said. Me. I've proved it. Empirically. Do you understand? Existentially. I take it. I act. And I see what he said. I was. So it's not by chance.

[8:01] So you can tell me. I've prayed. It happened. I've prayed. Answer. I pray. Answer. I pray. Answer. I will be very dumb. To say that. Somebody is saying. Really all this is fake.

[8:11] You know. But I've been seeing. Answers. I pray. And answer. I pray. Answer. I pray. Answer. I don't pray. No answer. I pray. Answer. I don't pray. No answer. I pray. Answer. I pray.

[8:22] Answer. I pray. And you are telling me. There's chance. Chance. Chance. Is it? It's scientific. I'm telling you. What I'm saying is. It's scientific. It's not just faith. And feelings. Or emotive. It's a fact.

[8:33] It's proven. And it's provable. We can repeat the experiment to get the same result.

[8:43] Over. For 2,000 years. These results have never changed. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I believe in Jesus.

[8:55] So the Bible says that all the fullness of God dwells in him. and now when you have him you have everything now watch this and so when we are talking about we are joint heirs with Christ according to Romans chapter 8 verse 17 it means that anything Christ is entitled to oh you didn't get that somebody didn't get that anything Christ is entitled to we are also entitled to it did you get that can you imagine Christ suddenly is stricken by illness and can't do anything and demon has beaten him can I happen to Christ then it can happen to you can you imagine Christ has become so poor that his poor poverty is poor is spelled poor even there are not enough words to spell his own boy that would be so poor listen let me add this poverty is wicked poverty is not of God poverty is not any reflection of humility it actually humiliates you it deprives you of sensibility in case you don't have enough now you are on your way because this is you find out where Christ is who he is he says then you know that's where I belong he says ah

[10:17] I am like this one I am like this one I can't be like this one so he went to them and they embraced him that you are one of us you see so if you don't know who you are you'll be living like a pauper and so it's necessary to appreciate the fact that Bible says that you see you have been drinking with them and then all of a sudden you realize that ah that's where I belong so once you discover that start making progress to move yourself out of your current situation to where you must be in Christ in Christ so look at fine if I were you I would take the Bible and go on a quest who is Christ what can be with him and what must be with him and then once you see you know that that's my destiny can you imagine Christ gets married and he's married and then he can't have children can you think about that that cannot happen to Christ can you imagine Christ being in a car accident and he's dying in a car accident do you understand what I'm saying so you have to see yourself because you are joined as with Christ this sounds very very utopic it's like this is spy in the sky this is not realistic that is why people are thinking

[11:41] God is about to bless you with wonderful children God is your children are so blessed they belong to the top they must go to the top and the best remember you are a joint heir with Christ what does that mean whatever Christ is entitled to me too I'm entitled to it that sounds good and let me add one more we are increasingly this identity in Christ we are increasingly being transformed and changed on a daily basis into the glorious image of Christ second Corinthians chapter 3 verse 17 and 18 who are you I'm changing you see me today if you want to talk about evolution look at me we are heavily actively busily evolving if you don't have Christ you are not really free you know but if you have Christ that's our identity as well but first Corinthians chapter 3 verse 17 says that now the Lord is the spirit and where the spirit of God is there's liberty but we all with unveiled faces beholding us in a mirror the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory just as by the spirit of the Lord so we all now this we all is not all human beings we all read the context when you read from the beginning you find out who the we all is talking about it's not oh we all human beings or we all we all of us men or all of us women or all of us Britons or all of us Europeans no no we all them we all who are in Christ are being transformed into the same image from glory listen

[13:24] I am here to announce to you that it will only get better I said it will only get better life will only get better for you in the name of Jesus because he said we are being transformed from glory to glory no glory to shame no glory to glory maybe your past may be shame but I am here to announce to you your future is glorious your future is glorious your future is glorious if they open records of your past they have to probably close it quickly you don't want anybody to know about your past because it looks like they if they see your past they won't like you again if people find out about am I talking to somebody at all if you look so nice here the one city besides you does not know you your credit history is so bad so long as morality is concerned so much bad you have created history some of us before we at least decided to settle down a bit we have been wild wild wild there is no legal terminology that can describe or explain our previous condition if they open your past records oh god is that you oh with all these boys but you know the good news they look in your past and it's not you yourself are not proud about your past but the story is different now the story is so better so fine and guess what it's even going to get better and better and better they look at your past and joblessness you have PhD in joblessness

[15:33] PhD in failure every relationship you enter doesn't work that's your past but now but now but now now it's working and not just that you are becoming an icon of relationships that work people are going to be coming to you and say show us how to do it that is your future it's glorious and I announce to you that it's going to keep getting better and better and better and better and better and better and better hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah don't let anybody bully you with your past excuse me everyone has got a past everyone doesn't matter how good yours they are past about certain people no one will ever know some past stuff very no one very deep no one will ever know and they will be making you feel like you got to know a little bit about your own and so what say my future is glorious say my future is glorious in spite of the past in spite of my past
