Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar

As God's people, believers have been set aside as being different from everyone else. Our faith in Christ makes us stand out from the common people; it also draws hostility from a world that gives no regard for God. We're spirits possessing souls, which are where our thoughts and emotions live; in light of this, it's imperative that we carefully monitor who is influencing our thought lives: Satan rules the world, and his strategy is to invade our minds by ensnaring us in worldly things. By remaining strangers to the things the world considers home, we allow the Holy Spirit to keep us safe from danger.   To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org

We've been given tremendous power. The authority that God gave Jesus and Jesus shared with His disciples is the same ability that He, in turn, gave to us. This empowers us to do the same things that He did during His ministry, including healing the sick, casting out unclean spirits, and even raising the dead and walking on water. However, nothing will happen until we "flip the switch" and activate this power by believing it. Changing our thinking from how the world thinks to how God thinks positions us to receive from Him.   To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org

Christmas is a major global event, but most people are unaware of the real reasons why Jesus was born. Millions of people who observe Christmas don't even believe in Him; however, the significance of His birth goes much deeper than the secular holiday traditions the world has created. In addition to paying the price to save us from our sins, Jesus was born to make us children of God and bring the truth of His favor toward us. He also came to take away condemnation, bring His Holy Spirit to guide us on a daily basis, and offer eternal life in heaven. A single event—the birth of Jesus—changed the entire course of human history; this is something for which we can wholeheartedly celebrate.   o support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org

Under the covenant of grace, we no longer need to depend on our own efforts to earn God's approval like the people had to do under the law. Because of our belief in Jesus and in His finished works, God has already approved of us and declared us righteous. All that remains for us to do now is to respond to what has already been done. The new covenant calls for the effort to stay rooted in grace when everything around us tries to pull us back into performance. Living under grace doesn't mean the absence of labor, but laboring to remain at rest when the devil tries to distract us with the world's doubts, fears, and anxieties.

Believers have been made right with God. He sees us as righteous not because of anything good we have done, but because of what Jesus did and our faith in that. This is a significant departure from Old-Testament law, which demanded strict obedience and constant self-effort to earn righteousness. Our right-standing with God is the result of being born again; at that point, He immediately saw us as holy, perfect, and redeemed. This stance in Christ is permanent and independent of our behavior, which reflects our continually transforming state on our Christian journey; God will continue to work in us until our state eventually evolves to meet our stance.  To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org
