Discover How To Prevent Condemnation And Live In Joyful Freedom
Are you ready for a 30.000 feet overview that will help you live in joyful freedom?
First this…
Even though as believers we are not under law but under grace, we still have the effects of our old life under the law imprinted in our minds – that is a law mindset.
A law mindset is an old way of thinking that causes you to rely on your performance to make things happen.
Instead of relying on the indwelling life of Christ:
- You strive to become what you already are
- You seek to find what you already possess
- You try to measure up you when you already do
- You try to cross a divide that isn’t there
- You ask God to do what He’s already done
In short, you try to re-accomplish what Christ already has accomplished on your behalf.
A law mindset causes you to sin, make you feel condemned and gives you a sense you’re never doing enough.
Talking about frustration!
The moment you choose to believe the Gospel of Grace, however, you’ll experience REST, JOY, and FREEDOM.
To experience joyful freedom we need to be able to discern law from grace.
I’m going to give you a 30.000 feet overview so that you can sharply discern what is Old Covenant thinking and what is New Covenant thinking.
Here are 101 simple comparisons between the Old and New.

GOD IS NOT YOUR PAROLE OFFICER, HE BROKE YOU OUT OF PRISON!
GOD IS NOT YOUR PAROLE OFFICER, HE BROKE YOU OUT OF PRISON!
Have you been robbed by religion? Have you ever wondered where you really stood with God? For everyone trapped in a mindset of wondering whether God is angry or disappointed with them due to a lack of performance or dedication, help is on the way. In fact, it already arrived more than a couple thousand years ago.
Christian churches are filled with people who have been hearing Bible teaching built upon a foundation of mixing together two very different covenants that are not alike. Frequently embraced in most Christian circles, the practice of combining the old and new covenants has resulted in a diluted version of the gospel. This religious formula has caused many to avoid the institutional church altogether, often puts them in a state of confusion, and leaves them hungering and thirsting for a new identity of righteousness, unaware it has already been provided.
The current reality of unconditional love, peace, freedom, forgiveness, and everything else that is good, has been gifted to us by God's grace through the finished work of Jesus Christ. This is the message most people have been longing to experience, but it may require a complete change of mind from a lifetime of traditional church doctrines that have left many drowning in guilt and feeling as though they are in a state of bondage. God has provided a way of escape from the burdensome religious business—it is through a New Covenant where it is impossible for us to fail, because Jesus is the mediator and guarantee of this better covenant, and it has been established on better promises.
Take Ownership of Your Inheritance in Christ for Blessing and Success
You have an inheritance that is equal to what Jesus received, can you take ownership of that and live in that truth? 3:36 Video Clip
It’s not victory to successfully fight something over and over in your life. The victory is when it’s no longer a challenge for you. 1:35 Video Clip
Your self image and beliefs are self fulfilling prophecies, so you may as well believe the truth about who you are in Jesus. 0:43 Video Clip
Your outward life will reflect your inner beliefs. Life happens to all of us and many things occur that are out of your control but the bigger picture or the general condition of your life is a result of your self-image. You make choices based on who you think you are. Your conscious and subconscious mind work together with your conscience to filter what you’ll do and not do. Your beliefs live in your heart but your conscience will regulate how hard you pursue success or even how comfortable you are with certain levels of sin.
God is not the one determining the general condition of your life, you are.
The good news is you can change the condition and quality of your life. I am not talking about a health and wealth, carnally based message, I’m talking about living in the inheritance that’s available to all children of God. This inheritance predominantly reflects itself as righteousness, peace and joy. The goal is to experience the Kingdom of God and live as his responsible children/ambassadors in this world.
Colossians 1:12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
To do this, he changed you at the deepest part of your being when you believed.
God supplies wisdom and grace to continually shape you. He gave you that same inheritance Jesus received in his Kingdom. All of this is for the purpose of breaking the power of death and sin in your life, to set you free from the curse that’s in the earth AND for the purpose of you enjoying a blessed life.
Since you live out of the beliefs of your heart, the condition of your conscience and the image you have of yourself, you may as well go ahead and believe about yourself what God says about you.
Romans 8:15 for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, ‘Abba — Father.’ 16 The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God; 17and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ — if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together. (the suffering statement is a comfort to them because they have been experiencing persecution, suffering is not a prerequisite of being glorified)
God is continually reminding you that you are his child, that you are a joint-heir with Jesus, that he’s given you his authority. He’s placed his spirit in you to lead and guide you. He supplies more grace and wisdom than you’ll ever need. Let all of that work together to radically shift who you see in the mirror so you will allow him to build you outwardly into a blessed child of God, because you already are inwardly.
Message Titles
1. Joint-Heirs with Jesus
2. Our Authority in Jesus Name
3. Betrothed to God
4. God Says Yes to Over 3000 Promises
5. Praying According To His Will
6. Praying in Spirit and Truth
7. Living in the Paradox
8. Following the Holy SpiritHebrews 1:1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
Jesus is the heir of all things and has been given a name above every name. The most astonishing fact about Jesus’ resurrection and ascension is that he chose to share his inheritance and authority with all who believe.
In regard to power and authority there is no difference between you and Jesus. God has made you His child through your faith in Jesus. You’ve been adopted into His family in which he shares everything he has. You will not create another world and rule over people like the Mormons think, but in God’s Kingdom and on this planet, you have the full authority of a child of God within your new creation identity. Embrace your true identity and begin to represent the true God to the world in the power that Jesus died and rose again for you to walk in.

Identity Based vs Performance Based Christianity
A newly created child of God is not defined by their actions, they are defined by what kind of being they are. The believer has been plucked out of death and engrafted into God by Christ. Each and every believer is now alive in Him!
If you were to be judged by God right now, it wouldn’t be sin that he would use to define you, it would be whether or not you’re in Jesus. The difference maker is whetter or not you have the spirit of God in you.
Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
A performance based approach to relationship with God is rooted in self-righteousness. Performance based Christianity keeps you believing that you are going to become a better Christian one day. It never allows you to realize who you are in Christ, now. I want to help you understand and naturally live from the new creation reality that you are righteous because you’re in Jesus
Take a moment to answer these questions…
- When you read the Bible and see passages that address who God is, do you believe them and adapt your perspective of God to match his revealed word?
- When you read the Bible and see passages that address who Jesus is, do you believe them and adapt your perspective of Jesus to match his revealed word?
- When you read the Bible and see passages that address who you are, do you believe them and adapt your perspective of yourself to match his revealed word?
Here’s what I mean by the third question. Read these passages and then ask yourself if you believe you’re righteous.
Romans 4:5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness
Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
You can rebuild your self-image from a reality that’s greater than your physical ability. To have a different life you have to do things differently than you’re doing now. You have to see yourself differently, think differently. You can have a completely different future that’s not defined by your past. The best way to do that is continually remind yourself of your inheritance as a child of God and who you now are in Christ. Believe what the Word says about YOU!
