Changing How You See Yourself: Creflo Dollar

Key Insights

Faith and Rest

  • Jesus isn’t asking you to help him do anything, the table has already been prepared, he’s just trying to get you to show up and eat.
  •  Faith goes back into the past to access what Jesus has already accomplished and brings it into the future, instead of trying to use it to make God move.
  •  The highest level of faith is rest, where we move from trying to get God to do something to recognizing that it’s already done and entering into that rest.
  •  Maintaining your stance in the victory that Jesus died and shed his blood to obtain is a high level of faith and entering into a place of rest.
  •  Rest is the key to everything, even in the midst of challenges and trials.
  •  “The most valuable lesson that a ministry can have is to learn how to trust God for everything.”

Grace and Salvation

  •  The grace of God is able to surpass our own abilities and plans, building us up and leading us to an inheritance.
  •  Salvation is not earned, but a gift of God’s grace that cannot be deserved or achieved through our own efforts.
  •  Every punishment Jesus suffered was our punishment, and he took it upon himself to pay the price for our sins.
  •  We have been made a partaker of Christ, not just born again, but we can partake of the deliverance, healing, prosperity, and all the finished works of Jesus Christ.
  •  “I believe that I am the righteousness of God, therefore I have a right to the healing and prosperity that’s been made available.”

Summary

  •  Grace empowers individuals, surpassing their efforts and plans, saving them from judgment and giving them an inheritance through faith in Jesus.
  •  Everything you need for this life has already been accomplished by Jesus, so instead of trying to make God do something, learn to receive and enjoy what He has already done.
  •  Resting in the finished works of Jesus Christ is spiritual warfare, where you maintain your stance in victory and refuse to be moved by challenges, trusting God for everything and expecting an abundance of undeserved favor, experiencing manifestations of His grace and glory in your life.
  •  Start speaking positive affirmations and believing in God’s blessings to overcome troubles, debt, sickness, and problems, as it attracts healing, prosperity, and success based on faith in Jesus Christ.
  •  Trusting in God leads to prosperity, not riches; financial prosperity should be seen as a result of God’s grace, not a means to purchase His favor.
  •  Trusting in God is essential for manifesting grace and having a positive impact in your life, even in financial matters.
  •  Believing in our new identity as a new creation, rather than our past behavior, determines our behavior and allows our true self to shine.
  • Recognize that believing in and holding onto your identity as the righteousness of God will lead to a transformation in behavior, allowing you to live a holy life and continue Jesus’ ministry through your actions.
