We bring you today’s message from Pastor Creflo Dollar, which is titled “Godly Living Obtained by the Power of God, Pt. 2.” The text for the message is from John 15:5.
Pastor Dollar teaches us that making the decision to live godly is the best decision we can ever make. Living godly is something that we can’t do by ourselves; we have to depend on God. Godly living is something we must learn to yield to because it can only be produced by God’s power.
God is going to give us the power needed to live that godly life, so it’s important to distinguish between trying to serve God and being used by God. He would prefer that we yield to him as instruments, and we should allow God to be responsible for all areas of our lives. Godly living has to be something that you receive through your submission to the power of God through your trust in Jesus Christ.
You can’t even get to God without trusting Jesus Christ. We have to know that living godly is not about restraining ourselves but allowing the Holy Spirit to work inside of us. We’ve been trying to achieve godly living. Through the flesh, we’ve been trying to earn it. What happens is that we start off pretty well, then fall back. God will show you how to live this life, but it has to be lived through Jesus Christ.
God is the vine, and we are the branch, and you must understand that the branch is incapable of producing anything. Godly living is not going to be possible apart from Jesus, and he tells us to depend on him. If you’re trying to live a godly life without Jesus, it’s like trying to live a life without trusting him; it’s just not going to work. If you’re trying to live a godly life through your self-discipline, self-performance, or intellect, it’s not going to work. We have to declare our complete dependence on Jesus Christ.
