10.27.24 | God Is at Work | Pastor Jim Cymbala
None of us wants to keep living in sin.
But we can’t solve the problem by ourselves.
The good thing is, God is so wonderful and loving that He didn’t just save us and forgive us
—He also promises to work in us as believers.
God will replace all //that is negative and hurtful /with goodness and healing
/if we allow Him.
Will you let Him do that today?

So, I want to talk, I'm redeemed, I am rede..., that's a great song, isn't it?
Did you hear that line, I'm not what I used to be?
How many can say that, today, you're not what you're used to be?
How many of you would consider yourself, balcony and downstairs, I'm a born-again Christian?
Okay, great, great!
so, I want to address you, and if you're not a a born-again Christian, you can become one today,
because it's not hard to becaome a Christian, to become born-again.

All you have to do is confess your sins, your failures before God, and admit they're wrong
and God's right, and ask for forgiveness, and ask Christ to come into your life to be your savior and Lord.
and get a new center, instead of self, now Christ. that's all you have to do.
Then God does the work.
He puts His Spirit inside of you.
He forgives all your sins, and now whether you live or die, you've got a great future ahead of you,
because we all gonna be in heaven.
Aren't you all looking forward to that day?
Some people are hoping the Earth will will turn around and things will get great.
I'm not a big believer in that .
1:33
I'm a kind of believer when we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be.
1:41
the Bible, in talking about being born again,
1:49
most of us don't go far enough with it
and we don't understand the totality of the Salvation that God has provided for us.
2:00
we're kind of got, most of us, I messed up, like the song said, and he's forgiven the past .
2:10
and now I know I'm going to go to heaven but now I live on Earth
2:17
and I know there's this desire in me.
this is if you're truly born again you want to be more like Christ
2:25
it didn't come from you. it's from the Holy Spirit who lives inside of you.
2:31
anybody who doesn't care how they live is not a born again Christian
2:36
no, there's, there's that stamp that mark. that seal, the Holy Spirit lives inside of us
2:43
and you know the difference between right and wrong
in fact when you become converted to Christ your conscience becomes much more sensitive
2:50
and you're much more aware of wrong or right.
things you used to say and do suddenly you recoil at it
2:59
and you go, oh I shouldn't have said said that I shouldn't have done that.
everyone who's following me so far say Amen.
3:06
then what happens a lot of times is you get into a struggle and it seems like it's almost a losing battle
3:13
it's kind of like Paul said in Romans 7
3:18
the things I wanna do, I don't do and the things I don't want to do I find myself doing
3:29
and I make up my mind and I turn over a new leaf
that's the story of my growing up years being a Christian
things I wanted to do become more like Christ
the desire was in there and then
and then just come to the Altar and say I'm sorry again
when I was a real little kid one summer they had special meetings and my mother told me I got saved 17 times
3:55
uh in one summer I kept coming forward and you know here I am again
4:02
it hasn't worked yet but you never know maybe I'll hit the jackpot this time right
come on, some of you know that feeling.
anybody know that feeling?
so you're always making promises and vows,
4:13
and now Christianity becomes a vow religion.
you're making promises,
okay God, I've been fooling around before this.
4:19
now I mean business.
I'm getting down to business now.
4:25
I'm going to start reading the Bible
I'm going to read that whole thing in one day if I have to
I'm going to read it
4:31
and I'm going to get in...
you know what I need?
I messed up now.
I need a new version.
this King James is never going to make it with me.
4:38
I got to go NIV and then all these different...
I'm going to listen to tapes
no that's it
I got to listen to tapes when I jog or work out
4:46
I've got to have preaching and and all these formulas we have
4:52
but the bad part is you can then become a hypocrite
4:58
it works like this
you try and then you try harder
5:03
and then you say this isn't working
I'm I'm not what that song said, I'm not what I used to be.
5:10
I am what I used to be or maybe salvation is just forgive the past
5:17
and then there's no change because I tried everything
and the same old temper same old problem with whatever, anger
5:30
bitterness, immorality, racial Prejudice
I just can't get this stuff out of me
but I'm going to fight hard
I'm going to get it out
5:43
so that's where it's pointed out to us in scripture where we don't understand really what salvation entails
so let's just start with this
in the New Testament the Bible says three things about salvation
we were saved at a point where we put our faith in Christ
we are being saved even today
6:09
our Salvation is working out
and one day in the future we're going to be finally saved
6:17
okay the Bible says all the three things are happening
so there was a day when we were born again
6:25
we confessed our sins.
we put our faith in Christ and we knew I am a different person
and then there's a way and a process called present salvation where God is working
6:32
and and we're being saved and kept from the evil one and the powers of this world
6:38
and then because we still struggle with our human bodies
6:43
and our fallen nature and self seeking which is what we are left to ourselves
6:48
one day that's all going to be taken away
6:53
we're going to have a new body
there'll be no more sin no more temptation
we're going to be with the Lord forever
and that's what the Bible says is full salvation
7:00
how many are looking forward to that day?
7:05
amen?
we were, we are being and we will be saved
7:11
and that's all found in the New Testament
7:17
so I have a word for you to encourage you
7:23
those who are struggling and those who...
the very fact that you struggle and that you want to be different,
all the way be like Christ is a great sign that you are a Christian
7:35
people who have never been born again they don't care how they live
hey whatever, unless I get caught
7:42
unless it hurts me monetarily I don't care
I do what I do
I make my own ethics, situational ethics, the relativity of Truth
7:48
you what's wrong for you might not be wrong for me
7:55
come on, don't be judgmental
but once you become a Christian you know this book is God's word
and now you know oh wow
8:03
and it can come, happened to me growing up, where I almost try to avoid the word of God
8:09
I didn't want to read it
I didn't want to read it
8:16
but when I read it
it just boong...
and it pointed out all my mess ups
have anyone relate to that at all?
8:24
where a Christian can really be afraid of the word of God
because it just shows them their failure over and over again
8:32
so one of the deepest verses in the Bible
I share this with the staff a couple weeks ago
8:38
the truths in the Bible are on levels and concentric
they merge into another
8:45
and the deeper you go, the deeper you go
you know there's a truth that churches need Shepherds
8:52
and obey them that are over you in the Lord
8:58
by the way whenever you meet someone who's radical
and is causing division vision and strife and talking smack about they're the only ones who have the truth.
9:04
always ask them what church you go to, who's over you in the Lord?
because usually divisive people who have their doctrinal,
9:11
you know, they have revelations that no one ever got including Paul Peter James and John
9:18
but they got it
they live in Bayonne, New Jersey
and they got all the truth that everyone else missed
9:26
when you ask them
so who approves of you, who who who validates you?
they have no answer
because they work their god unto themselves
so as you look in the Bible
9:38
when you go down deep deep deep deep the deepest truths
there's, you know, you must be born again
all these are wonderful truths
9:44
God is love, everything,
and now in terms of our Salvation this is you're getting near the bottom
9:50
maybe the bottom of it all
so it says this;
therefore my dear friends he's writing to the church at Philippi that he founded
10:01
as you have always obeyed not only in my presence in other words when I was there you were really carrying on
your Christian development in life in good order
but now much more in my absence I'm not with you
10:14
continue to work out your salvation with fear hold that with fear and trembling
10:20
wait wait wait how can I work out something when salvation is a gift
10:25
and not work by works you all know that right nobody here lives a good enough Life to Go to Heaven
all in favor say I
10:34
I you have to understand that now or you'll you'll miss everything no one earns salvation it's a gift and the hand
10:42
that receives the gift is called Faith you trust him and you receive the
10:48
gift so that sounds odd work out I thought salvation is by grace through
10:54
faith not by works lest anyone should boast and yet Paul is now saying work
10:59
out meaning cooperate now with this process of
11:04
salvation with fear and trembling not with frighten like uh someone has a gun
11:10
on you but with awe and reverence right why and here's the the verse
11:18
13 for it is God who works in you to Will and to
11:25
act in order to fulfill his good purpose that might be one of the most important
11:30
sentences in the whole new testament for Christians so listen now and be open
11:36
okay I'm not going to talk for long but let's let this into our hearts amen for
11:41
it is God who works in
11:47
you work out your salvation with fear and trembling cooperate with god with
11:53
awe and reverence why for it is god let's just take this for it is God God
11:59
in you if you're a Christian today God almighty God lives in
12:06
you every morning you wake up and look in the mirror you only see your body but God lives in you if God doesn't live in
12:14
you you're not a Christian unless you've been born again and have the spirit of Christ call the
12:20
Holy Spirit here call God God is in you just think of that the one who created
12:26
the universe lives inside of me you only see my body you're getting the
12:33
thoughts of my mind but inside in the sacred part of my spirit God Almighty
12:38
lives there and lives inside of you this is all important because if you don't
12:44
accept that and begin to trust that and investigate that you're going to be struggling in your own strength for the
12:51
rest of your life God Lives in You Christ through his sacrifice forgave
12:58
all of our past but God didn't stop there he knows what a mess we are so he said I'm not going
13:05
to work with your mess I'm going to live inside of you and give you another
13:11
option rather than Jim Sima because he is putrid and he'll never change and he
13:17
never can change because he's sold to sin he's selfish and tends to
13:24
self-gratification every time he gets a chance and the same for you
13:31
that's why God says I'm going to live in you that was part of the New Covenant that Jeremiah talked about and in that
13:38
day I'm going to put a new spirit within them I'm going to give them a new heart
13:44
I'm going to do work from the inside this is why the law always failed in the Old Testament I was just reading
13:51
in Ezra Nehemiah I'm reading through those books no matter what laws what
13:57
prophets Moses got the law and that was great and had glory and it changed nobody nobody got changed read
14:05
the whole Old Testament they're always backsliding they're always making Idols they're always sleeping with the
14:11
Canaanite women never and no matter what what preacher comes and in the New Testament
14:19
there is that Revelation that the law the commands of God which are holy have no power with us because of the
14:26
selfishness of on my own heart and your heart so the law that was given was never
14:32
meant to save anyone of course it can in fact everyone the Bible says in the New Testament everyone under the law is
14:39
under the curse because the law says do it and you'll live but all have sined
14:45
and come short of the glory of God there's none righteous know not one no
14:50
one can earn favor from God we have to believe and trust in his goodness that's
14:56
what makes us a Christian today so God God seeing that the law was never meant
15:02
to save anyone remember that all those commands in the Old Testament couldn't change
15:09
anybody even the the heroes of the faith they messed up all the
15:15
time so God says no the Salvation I'm going to bring is not only forgiveness
15:21
of the past I got to change them right now I want them to be like my son Jesus
15:26
and the only way they can be like Jesus is to have the spirit of Jesus inside of
15:32
them are you following me so you and I we don't think about it
15:38
enough we have God's spirit living inside of us the same God who created the planets and the moon and the stars
15:46
out of nothing that God lives in us the same spirit that raised Jesus from the
15:52
dead a corpse became alive he lives inside of us that's what Christianity is
15:57
Christ in us the hope of glory not Christ in heaven coming back again
16:02
that's part of the theology but Christ in us why aren't you jumping and
16:11
shouting how many are happy God lives with inside of us see why why there's little reaction
16:20
because it's almost stunning because we hardly think about that we want to go into our toolbox and work with Jim Sima
16:27
and fix them up he's hopeless he's so hopeless that God never
16:33
will work with me he can't be fixed you can't be fixed you are unfixable all due
16:42
respect you're unfixable so God's not going to work with you he's not trying to make a battered rued person a little
16:48
better around the edges he said no away with you I'm putting my own son spirit
16:54
inside of you now there's going to be some action come on say Amen with me now
16:59
there's going to be change for it is God who works not out
17:07
of you not around you in you God works in US Andrew Murray said
17:16
your whole world is your heart out of the heart Jesus said precedes all evil
17:24
things and the only way that we can get rid of evil is to get a new heart and live out of that new heart are you
17:31
following me it is God who works in us oh that
17:38
thought what it just it just right now as I'm saying it I just think we
17:43
struggle in our own puny strength and we have God inside of us and instead of
17:50
trusting and yielding to him to let him make the changes we're going to try to fix it up
17:58
this is the way it works Works brothers and sisters when we come to Christ we we're aware of our sins and our past we
18:04
know we can't change that how can you undo what you did last week last month last year last decade you know you can
18:10
so you go All to Jesus I Surrender and I'll cherish The Old
18:16
Rugged Cross and we know we're forgiven I am redeemed I am redeemed but now
18:24
after that experience you got to live every day and we go back to the same o
18:30
I'm going to try harder oh yes don't say no
18:35
yes we all do it I'm going to fix this up I'm going to
18:41
obey the commands I see some religious programs like obey the law who obeys the
18:47
law the Bible says no one obeys the law Oh no just obey the law a little more oh no the law works this way once you break
18:53
it you're doomed you're damned forever the wages of sin is death don't try to fix it up by shedding a few
19:01
tears only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us from all our guilt and he
19:06
makes us white white come on let's thank him for that whiter than snow but he's not done with that he's
19:14
not done when he does that now he says no I'm going to live in you don't Paul says don't you know the
19:21
church and then individually know you not that you're the temples of the Holy Spirit who lives in you
19:29
you're a temple take care of your body it's the Temple of the Holy
19:36
Spirit whatever we say whatever we do whatever we watch he has to do it with
19:42
us that'll change your life if you live with that Consciousness sir whatever you say watch
19:50
do he's there lady same thing he's watching he can't how can I be separated
19:56
from the one who lives inside of me but notice he's not just in us for it is God
20:02
who works in you my wife Carol wrote a song years ago
20:10
God is working God is working he's not working up on planet Mars so much he's not
20:18
working in the atmosphere he's working in you he wants to make you like his son
20:25
Jesus he wants to give you that peace and that Joy he wants to make your life
20:30
edifying like Pastor Brian was saying using those gifts that he's given you so you learn how to serve you learn what
20:36
real fulfillment is you learn to live a life pleasing to God and not pleasing to yourself or the culture that's what he's
20:43
working in us not what your parents possibly told you to be or your culture
20:48
or your island or your country or your race no he's not working with any of that he's working according to his will
20:55
and purpose he's got a plan for all all of us but he knows we can't fulfill it in
21:01
our own strength so then he goes inside it is God who works in you right
21:09
now today God wants to work in every single one of us in ways you and I can't
21:16
even imagine I know you've been changed I know you you said amen to I Am
21:21
Redeemed but did you know that's just the beginning God wants to move us from glory to glory from faith to more
21:30
faith and how does he do that he works in US in US so what does he do in
21:40
us he works in us both to will please listen both to Will and to
21:49
do according to his good pleasure please listen this is the heart of Christianity
21:57
this is the heart of a vict Victorious Life we are more than conquerors how do you conquer by understanding
22:03
this it is God who works in you and me to Will and to do what does that mean he
22:12
works in you to replace your will with his will what is will it involves thoughts
22:20
and desires he wants to replace your thoughts and your desires with his
22:28
thoughts and his desires oh it got quiet now because this
22:34
is a beautiful thought isn't it in other words the way you get rid of unclean
22:39
thoughts is not fighting them it's getting filled with his thoughts his
22:45
pure thoughts flooding us like a river the way to get bad plans out of your
22:51
life is to get his plans his thoughts his desires well of course
23:00
when a drunker becomes a Christian or a drug addict becomes a Christian they get new desires to live clean they never had
23:08
that desire they wanted to get high all the time and now they have a desire of oh no
23:14
I don't want to do that who's doing that not them they haven't changed it's Christ in them
23:21
reacting to all that filth come on Christians are in the
23:26
building haven't you ever seen stuff happen like warning signs and Sirens going off inside of you at the
23:34
thought of no I can't do that oh God save me come on how many know what I'm talking about that's the Holy Spirit
23:40
working in you but it's not you so give up on you try
23:47
him for it's God who works in us both to Will and to do he can put Desires in you
23:55
that will obliterate the bad desires that have been dominating you you don't
24:00
overcome bad desires by fighting them what are you going to fight them with how do you how does me fight
24:08
me it's got to come from the Lord who works in us both to
24:15
will the other day I told in the morning my wife said I heard you get up during
24:20
the night I said yeah I woke up in the middle of the night and I had this
24:25
desire I got to feed myself the word of God God been too busy today got up out
24:31
of the bed went into the next room and just fed on the word of God who in the world put that desire in me me come
24:40

25:08
new desires new longings Paul looking back on his life says all that religious
25:14
teaching the law and Moses and the circumcision and all the H holy days and sabbaths and all that it has worth two
25:21
cents it never changed me never changed me but now I long to be like Christ I
25:28
long to suffer with him I long to pour out my life for the people that he loves
25:34
where' he get those desires that was Christ in him giving him new desires
25:39
don't you want to get new desires to replace these old stuff that you've been fighting with for 11
25:47
years oh Pastor that can't happen yes it can the Bible says that it's God who
25:52
works in us but both to Will and now I'm done listen and to do will willing is a
25:58
wonderful thing but a lot of us have seen God's grace cause us to Will and desire something but to carry it out
26:06
that's a whole other thing to to carry it out it's like
26:11
person going on a diet why you laughing you go to the doctor doctor
26:19
takes test
26:25
man you're in trouble
26:30
and your uh what's that thing sue the that they
26:37
measure not blood pressure yeah your blood pressure too but cholesterol you
26:42

27:14
change then on the way home you see the Crispy Cream side and the light is flashing that
27:22

27:28
and now another voice calls you you know they say crack has a voice
27:34
crispy K cream has a voice too and all your willing and all your
27:39
desires are overrun by the inability to carry out
27:46
come on brothers and sisters how many have failed in doing something that you really desire to do come on lift your
27:53
come on be honest you're in church of course we all know that so
27:59
that's why I'm I want to do plain talk today and now the Bible says this for it
28:04
is God who works in you not just to will that's his grace that's Jesus but
28:12
he'll get you more than will he'll help you do it no oh Pastor Sima when you said that
28:20
about the word of God and the classes I want to learn the Bible more that could disappear in maybe 45 minutes
28:28
no I got to be on my phone you know that's another thing I got to get off my phone you know Pastor I've had people
28:36
tell me this I my whole life is my phone I'm addicted to the
28:44
iPhone but now how do you change that by willing it just
28:49
alone by making up your mind and gritting your teeth never never never but it's God
28:58
with God everything's possible he works in us both to will
29:05
something and gives us the grace to do it don't you want to do it don't you
29:12
want to see God do it I want want to see God do new things in you remember if it doesn't start on the inside it's not
29:19
going to happen because our life doesn't come from outside that was the whole problem with the law the law was
29:25
chiseled in stone that that won't change anything my problem isn't with stone my problem is with my heart I choose
29:33
self-seeking I choose self-gratification when I want to get mad I get mad when I
29:38
want to say what I want to say I want to say it and God says no I love you so
29:44
much I'm not just going to save you and forgive your past and not even take you to heaven one day right here on planet
29:51
Earth I'm going to show the world what Jesus Christ can do in a
29:57
life come on can we say Amen to [Applause]
30:06

30:13
love the Lord but you think that he saved you from your past and now you're going to try your best to show him that
30:20
you really love him it ain't going to happen it's God who's going to work work
30:28
in you with new thoughts new I've had that happen so many times thoughts I've
30:35
gotten and desires they no more are Jim symol than the Man in the Moon I know it's not me it's God who works in me
30:43
