In this sermon, the speaker declares that believers already possess every spiritual blessing—love, power, peace, joy, grace, holiness, gifts, ministry callings, divine connections, favor—within their spirit because they are united with Christ. Consequently, "spiritual growth" is not the spirit acquiring more, but the rest of the person (mind, emotions, actions) catching up to that already‑present identity. The speaker critiques the common performance‑driven approach to prayer, fasting, worship, Bible study, and service, arguing that such efforts are often motivated by a desire to gain God's approval or favor, which leads to frustration, burnout, and ministry turnover. Instead, believers should engage in these disciplines from a place of connection with God—praying to stay connected, worshiping because God is worthy, and reading Scripture as a privilege granted by already having God's approval. This shift from striving to resting in already‑given identity is presented as the key to lasting spiritual vitality and effective ministry.

Chapters

In my spirit, if I am one with him, all love, all power, all peace, all joy, all grace, all holiness, every spiritual gift, every call to ministry, every appointed time, every divine connection, every moment of favor, everything God desires me to have and become already abides. Abides. And this is why I say that spiritual growth isn't even really your spirit growing. Spiritual growth is when the rest of you catches up with who you already are in the spirit. Okay, we plead for it and beg for it, and you should pray, and you should fast, and you should worship, and you should read the word, and you should serve in church, but not From the perspective of trying to gain something. That's why many of you are tired and frustrated. That's why people quit the ministry. That's why people don't last long, because they're so wrapped up in the tension of their emotions and what they're trying to accomplish rather than recognizing it was not in their strength to begin with. And now we recognize that we don't We pray to connect with God. We pray from connection with God. We don't worship for God to come closer. We worship because he's worthy. And when we worship, we become more aware. We don't read the word to try to gain God's approval. We already have God's approval, and because of that, we've been given the privilege of revelation of the word. Amen. Not for. I don't work for. I work from.
