I have spent 26 years trying to walk out of the legalism of my youth. I still struggle when I want to spend time with God. All of the rules I’ve been taught about how I must pray, study Scripture, etc. press in on me and I have a hard time simply enjoying God. I want to be totally free.
i feel this statement so much. i have no grid for relationship with jesus and the grid i was given was all law no love. such a struggle, and when i’m taking a risk and trying something new i’m filled with fear thinking im messing it all up.
I'm 62 and was in a staunch, legalistic Pentecostal church until about 7-8 years ago. The struggle is real! It takes a lot to un-learn the old and renew your mind. I suggest you constantly play preaching like Graham's and also Andrew Womack. He's got a book called, "Who told you you were naked?" but the content of that book is in his free UA-cam videos. The truth will make you free, not another prayer...
I too had this battle. I had to remove myself from the system that taught the lie that is Grace and law. Or Jesus but law! Or the law stands beside the new covenant. It was the most painful journey. Not the freedom but finally stepping away from all I had ever know. You are free. Believe it. But God maybe asking you to step away from the system that lies. Im so thrilled that this message is shared with evangelicals. Too many dont know the new covenant and are too easily proselytized by large denominations into a false gospel
I am 70. I am so glad God showed me this ministry. Legalism such a problem performance. Thank you for posting. I am getting free more and more as I listen. God bless you
THANKS. Coming out of legal Pentecost church has taken a lot of 'un' learning. A real struggle to renew the mind and keep it renewed. I have found Andrew Womack videos helpful as well, for those of you struggling with legalism. Just want to give a shout-out to Graham for saving my daughter's friend from suicide. Isn't Graham encouraging? Such a blessing to us all
@@DavidWooten-k5t Been there, bought the T-shirt. Even though you feel you've got no energy I can't stress enough the importance of getting outside and going for a walk, whatever the weather. Several short walks may be more helpful than one long one. But whatever works for you. If you can walk right around your house, or your block, every day and ask God to bless it that also works a ton! I call it Jericho walking. Try it!!! The other thing that is so incredibly important is to continually keep gentle (or loud) worship music playing in your house, or your room. Create an environment that demons of depression don't like to be in. Try it...!!!! God bless you 😊
Praise God for this message. Hebrews changed my life! Christians not understanding the new covenant are increasingly being "sucked into the vacuum " of denominations claiming to follow Jesus but tack on so many rules that without realizing it freedom is slowly being removed and replaced with a false gospel (yet in the name of Jesus) Jesus is our substitute not simply our example. I am free for the first time. I am eternally grateful for Gods patience with me. I am blessed have amazing Godly friends brave in Jesus and blessed to discover teachers and leaders committed to unfolding the promise and kingdom living. Thank you.
Mr Cooke you always lift me up! Thank you and praise God for what He’s done in you! It’s magnificent just like our Father and I love it! I give God all the honour and all the praise because He so deserves every bit of respect. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Absolutely set me free ! It has taken a long time to understand legalism we don’t have a sin nature but a sin habit and I have died to self and Christ now lives in me I surrender to him and I trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not to my own understanding a I
Over the last three years I have been listening to GC, (as my daughter, sister in law and I refer to all the TRUTH about The Three, plus one transformative relationship between us, the Unfathomable, Perfect Love, and Unchanging Heart with the Three plus me
Praise God for this message. I've been walking with Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit since 1997 and still struggle with the works mentality. I can show grace to others and not put works on them but somehow I still try to make me do the works to gain God's favor and love. This gives me another tool to help remind me, I'm free! I cringe when Christians say God's in control. I've always disliked that saying. I've told people, that means you're blaming God for all the evil done. Bless you Graham. I'm so thankful you said yes to our Father
Now i see where i was doing wrong! I sometime stuck myself so much that i get overwhelm with all of my rules and dont know what to do anymore I don't want to commit sin i really don't want to. The things is that i know that God loves me and i don't want to hurt Him by sinning willingly With what i learn here i now understand some part of the Bible that i was wandering why where'nt they align with my rules and trying to get them to work together were tiring me so much! I see that part where the Bible says that His load is not heavy and that his burden is light it became heavy when i put the old rules in it must stay diciplined to read the Bible the more you learn the knowlegde of the Bible the more you get Christ like all that with the presence of God beside you how marvelous it is to learn directly from God!!! I'll do that!!
I’ve found living in more and more freedom I’m having to unlearn things that I’ve been exposed to and that have entangled themselves with me. I appreciate this message so much thank you!
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom . Thank you Jesus. Thank you Graham again for sharing the Father and the son and the Holy spirit . And sharing it with me. Blessed 🤍❤💓💥💝
Thank you brother may the lord bless you greatly I always hear him through you and in my position that's very very hard to find today. The lord set me apart but I think the wilderness is over for me now. psalm 91 psalm 82 Revelations 11 in the love of our lord Jesus
God in Charge not Control is a game changer. Letting The Spirit teach us to be Christ-like and Free in God's Love is Glorious New Perspective. " I am My Beloveds and My Beloved is Mine" FREE IN HIS LOVE !
I acknowledge him in all my ways and he directs my paths , when I understood my identity in him! It changed everything ! Who I am and all the promises he gives to us! And his unfailing Love and seeking his kingdom first!!!! Decreeing and declaring his word out loud and speaking that not as though they were and how good it is to have a Holy Spirit as my Comforter teacher and helper I can talk wow comforter I can talk anytime at all the time with him I am free to be who I am and I
ps. 'sovereign' is not in the Word, unless of course you're using the Not Inspired Version. I humbly suggest you don't, it keeps being updated so ergo it can't b God's Word. I AM the Lord, I change Not.
“Ye shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH will make you free” So if what I’m hearing does not produce freedom,it CANNOT be the TRUTH! It CANNOT be Jesus!!
Excellent!!! Please, anyone, agree with me in prayer that my son "J" will receive this message into his heart. He is a Christian but has been tormented for over 20 years with a mental illness that keeps him in terror and fear that God will not receive him, that he has done something so unforgivable that God will reject him forever. The enemy has stolen my son's peace and freedom, I have prayed every way I know how for so long, but ultimately it is up to J to take back his freedom. In Jesus name, hallelujah!!! He is good and worthy to be praised!!!
I’m in agreement with you. You will see the goodness of God touch your sons life and he will know the love of his Heavenly Father and total freedom from mental illness. A great documentary to watch is. “Show me the Father” God bless you and him 🙏
Wow, wow, 🙌🏻✝️😊tks for e confirmation, bro cooke. 😊 was led to break free from legalism as per practised in my own church. But will still visit e church as led in order to break e system od legalism by God's grace.🛐✝️🕊🕊🕊🦅💪
Great sermon! Note: It’s also a form of legal religion within the framework grace to believe that people could be saved by works in the Old Covenant. True believers looked forward in faith to the messiah through the lamb, in the same way we look backward in faith to the Christ, who is Jesus.
I came out of wonderful situations that turned into control this was years ago up in South bend Indiana I was a music leader and we're being led by the spirit and then one day someone said they had a dream that they should have a director it's nothing wrong with the director and having some organization I started to quench the spirit let me have people give prophecy they would stand next to to someone sitting in a chair and tell them what their privacy was and then I probably would get okay they're not okay of course sometimes there would be things that would be where God was or they thought God was and I could tell to the god did give us a free will that free will was about following him and waiting on the leadership of a spirit and then we decided that we go where he wants us to go we do what he wants us to do sometimes it's just like Abraham he knew he's supposed to leave and go somewhere he didn't know where he was going but as he started step it out in faith the map started to develop before him thank you Graham you've been a blessing I've listened to you a number of years now the only problem where we're at here in Indiana there's real lack of places close by over 70 years old now I'm still believing that God's not done and he's told me that praise you Jesus thank you Papa and holy spirit
just think about it for a mo, are you capable of recognizing every little 'sin' never mind the so-called 'gross' ones in real time. of course you're not, no-one is, it's all covered by the Blood of the cross and grace. He, He, He, not me, He has washed me in His own Blood, CLEAN, past present and future for all time.
Your focusing on the flesh and making it about you. Thats what the law did. Your goodness means squat. His goodness translates us into his kingdom through his loving kindness. Its the preachers who have not entered in that have kept us out. Still waiting to die and see if they will be allowed in heaven. The truth is, God made a way for us to die now at the cross. We can enter in now. Because of the God that calls things that are not as though they are we are already seated in heavenly places with him having crucified the flesh (the old man).
For all the people still bound up by religion who want to post something about Gods commandments and the old testament (2 cor 3:6 the dead letter). I am going to give you a few things to ponder and I have to say we have all been there so dont condemn yourself for not seeing it either. What happened in the garden of Eden was reversed at the cross. From Adam (who lost his identity and walked by the flesh but in no way was he rejected) death reigned until Christ came. The promise fulfilled to him and Abraham. The son given who took our place, took our punishment and gave us a new identity. The identity we were to have before the foundation of the world. His beloved children. Now if you call yourself a christian and go around pointing out people's faults. knock it off that is not the gospel.
But there is a difference between sonship and fellowship. Show me a promise of God (apart from salvation) that is not conditional. Eg. IF you continue in my word then are you my disciples indeed All things work together for good to them that love God … I love your ministry Graham but this is a genuine question. The bible gives conditions for rewards 🤔
food for thought, salvation is conditional: faith. He that spared not His only Son but delivered him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also FREELY give us all things. R8. v important use KJV otherwise 'one' misses so much, God quickens His Word, not per-versions
I like to paraphrase this, "He gave us Jesus, the rest goes without saying" or if you prefer, When you received Jesus you automatically got credited with the rest; working it out ? ah, now there's the crunch ! !
He who knew no sin became sin for us. God was in Jesus reconciling the world to himself. he took care of the problem man thought we had and that being God was far off somewhere, mad at us. In jesus we are reconciled because he fulfilled the law that was given for the flesh. Our flesh died with him at the cross (the old nman of sin and death). The new creation that lives in his spirit of Loving kindness. Through the desert we find him telling the children to fear not he was with them. The lord thy God in the midst of thee. Well now because of the cross God is no longer without he is within us. Having been made clean by his work on the cross, not our works. Our work now is the renewing of the mind which is not easy.
It’s foolish then, for us to believe that salvation is a gift, but sanctification can be earned by our performance. Not Biblical. This is religious nonsense! Here’s the thing about legalism: it always appeals to the flesh, calling up what you are not because it wants control over you. God wants to look you in the eye and says I am ultimately in charge of your life, but I do not want to control you. I want us to walk this life together. I want you to be free. Amen! 🎉
What about the Fathers commandments? Are we not to live our lives by them? What sets us apart from the world? Keeping Christmas and Easter? None of those are ever mentioned in the Bible. Passover is mentioned the first fruits , feast of tabernacles feast of trumpets, the seventh day sabbath IS mentioned throughout the Bible… these are Gods Holy set apart days not Jewish holidays!Hebrews 8 this “ new” (in the Hebrew is renewed) covenant that I will make with Israel and the house of Judah says YHWH a I will put My laws in their minds, I will write them on their hearts, I will be their God and they will be My people”! Read Jeremiah 31:31 … “ I am the Way, the truth and the life no one comes to the Father , but through Me”! John 14;6 ❤️
the law is a type and shadow, the law within itself is perfect and without blemish. it can only show you the impossibility of keeping it. if you could truly follow and live under the law to the T without mistake, how would you ever recognize the need for a savior? if the law could save you, jesus is obsolete. yes the law is good, and if you need me to give you some scripture to back it up here ya are :) - “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” Romans 8:2-4 NASB2020 all law that was required to be loved by and followed was ALL fulfilled by Jesus for us and as us. Jesus is the perfect human response to the father and lives in EVERYONE, both believers and non believers, only differences is believers… believe it.
@@michaelcerafan1 - I never said by keeping the law you are saved, we all broke Gods law and we need a savior who is Yeshua / Jesus the Christ He is the only way to be saved, but after you are saved and realize why you need a savior we have to try to keep His ways thats why Yeshua says to repent , repent from what 1 John 3:4 sin is transgression of the law. So, we are to turn away from breaking the law to keeping the law to our best abilities, and when we sin and we all do we have a mediator who is Jesus the Christ. We don’t accept His salvation His sacrifice to keep living the way we were we must repent and turn back to the Fathers Ways.🙏🏽
@@michaelcerafan1 - so basically your saying except Jesus and that’s it? We can murder, commit adultery? We can have idols? The church doesn’t really understand that they are grafted into Israel, not the other way around. Your Messiah is a Jew He kept His Fathers commands He tells you that in scripture and He is our example. Even Paul tells you to do as He did… 🙏🏽 please read Hebrews 8
my dear girl, "keeping Xmas and Easter" puts you fair and square IN the world, believers who hv looked into Xmas and E. have nothing to do with them. Easter, from the German euostre, goddess of fertility.
Jesus came to FULFILL the first covenant not replace, in fullfillment work of Christ( Romans 8:4) the old lack of understanding caused by a fallen human mindset gets transformed by who Christ is, what He did, and what He said. Legalism falls away when we learn our value through unconditional love relationship and not through 'earning our place'. The law's beauty and God's original and perfect intent through the law was always mis understood and missused (Which He knew would happen) due to our sinful nature and by sinfull nature I mean the Me and my own evaluation of good and bad and negating the authority and value of God. Our self centered fallen nature puts me before God and others. Negating their value and honor. The law was set to restore empathy and honor.But this sinful nature which was our lense in understanding God and who he is was clearly distorted and therefore the law made sin increase, which is what is meant by Romans 5:20. But let's stop bashing the law because there is so much honor in beauty that can be admired through the lense of a new creation in Christ. And yes, Christ fullfilled the requirement, His greatest commandments sum up the old law, translated it and thru his sacrifice, Him negating his own self value by laying down his life for us, paying the debt of our taking our own life away from God in sin, we can in faith become transformed to be like him and embrace the freedom of relationship based life abundance and be one with them as they are one (John 17). . I love you Graham and God is using you in mighty ways. But bashing the law that God gave, bashes God who is the same yesterday today and forever. The law has been fulfilled and surpassed in Christ, let us not create yet another 'Christian' lynching mob against people yoked in legalism, they are people who love God, they desire to honor him with their life they just haven't fully understood grace yet. Instead, let us encourage them to understand how we are all dependent on Christ not on our own works and not call them diabolical which is not our seat of judgment. Remember Jesus did say through various parables and conversations with his disciples that we by our works are declare what we truly believe in our hearts. Abstaining from sinful behavior and selfishness is not a work of law but an expression of a love and honor filled relationship of that we have in Christ towards, man and The Father. I hope you don't mind I write this but I do for your blessing and benefit in love of our beautiful Jesus and the faith in him of which we share. Blessings
Don't normally comment twice. The Lord spoke to my heart that I had been used as a false witness of the Lord to His body . Forgive me brothers and Sisters. The Love of my savior Jesus and my Father and the precious Holy spirit has set me free. Thank you Graham I got it. And one day I will be able to thank you for loving Jesus. 🤍❤.

Yay
What do you say when we still sin, that's the 'old man' but very real.
just think about it for a mo, are you capable of recognizing every little 'sin' never mind the so-called 'gross' ones in real time. of course you're not, no-one is, it's all covered by the Blood of the cross and grace. He, He, He, not me, He has washed me in His own Blood, CLEAN, past present and future for all time.
Sin separates us...
Jesus took care of that problem once and for all. Its not about you anymore its about his goodness!!!!!! His loving kindness.
The way these evangelicals can convince themselves that everything they do in life is endorsed personally by God is just wild.
Your focusing on the flesh and making it about you. Thats what the law did. Your goodness means squat. His goodness translates us into his kingdom through his loving kindness.
Its the preachers who have not entered in that have kept us out. Still waiting to die and see if they will be allowed in heaven. The truth is, God made a way for us to die now at the cross.

What happened in the garden of Eden was reversed at the cross. From Adam (who lost his identity and walked by the flesh but in no way was he rejected) death reigned until Christ came. The promise fulfilled to him and Abraham. The son given who took our place, took our punishment and gave us a new identity. The identity we were to have before the foundation of the world. His beloved children.
Now if you call yourself a christian and go around pointing out people's faults. knock it off that is not the gospel.
But there is a difference between sonship and fellowship. Show me a promise of God (apart from salvation) that is not conditional. Eg. IF you continue in my word then are you my disciples indeed
All things work together for good to them that love God … I love your ministry Graham but this is a genuine question. The bible gives conditions for rewards 🤔
food for thought, salvation is conditional: faith.
He that spared not His only Son but delivered him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also FREELY give us all things. R8. v important use KJV otherwise 'one' misses so much, God quickens His Word, not per-versions
I like to paraphrase this, "He gave us Jesus, the rest goes without saying" or if you prefer, When you received Jesus you automatically got credited with the rest; working it out ? ah, now there's the crunch ! !
He who knew no sin became sin for us. God was in Jesus reconciling the world to himself.
he took care of the problem man thought we had and that being God was far off somewhere, mad at us.
In jesus we are reconciled because he fulfilled the law that was given for the flesh. Our flesh died with him at the cross (the old nman of sin and death). The new creation that lives in his spirit of Loving kindness. Through the desert we find him telling the children to fear not he was with them. The lord thy God in the midst of thee.
Well now because of the cross God is no longer without he is within us. Having been made clean by his work on the cross, not our works.
Our work now is the renewing of the mind which is not easy.
It’s foolish then, for us to believe that salvation is a gift, but sanctification can be earned by our performance. Not Biblical. This is religious nonsense!
Here’s the thing about legalism: it always appeals to the flesh, calling up what you are not because it wants control over you. God wants to look you in the eye and says I am ultimately in charge of your life, but I do not want to control you. I want us to walk this life together. I want you to be free.
Amen! 🎉
At :30 seconds in AMEN!

What about the Fathers commandments? Are we not to live our lives by them? What sets us apart from the world? Keeping Christmas and Easter? None of those are ever mentioned in the Bible. Passover is mentioned the first fruits , feast of tabernacles feast of trumpets, the seventh day sabbath IS mentioned throughout the Bible… these are Gods Holy set apart days not Jewish holidays!Hebrews 8 this “ new” (in the Hebrew is renewed) covenant that I will make with Israel and the house of Judah says YHWH a I will put My laws in their minds, I will write them on their hearts, I will be their God and they will be My people”! Read Jeremiah 31:31 … “ I am the Way, the truth and the life no one comes to the Father , but through Me”! John 14;6 ❤️
the law is a type and shadow, the law within itself is perfect and without blemish. it can only show you the impossibility of keeping it. if you could truly follow and live under the law to the T without mistake, how would you ever recognize the need for a savior? if the law could save you, jesus is obsolete. yes the law is good, and if you need me to give you some scripture to back it up here ya are :) - “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”
Romans 8:2-4 NASB2020
all law that was required to be loved by and followed was ALL fulfilled by Jesus for us and as us. Jesus is the perfect human response to the father and lives in EVERYONE, both believers and non believers, only differences is believers… believe it.
@@michaelcerafan1 - I never said by keeping the law you are saved, we all broke Gods law and we need a savior who is Yeshua / Jesus the Christ He is the only way to be saved, but after you are saved and realize why you need a savior we have to try to keep His ways thats why Yeshua says to repent , repent from what 1 John 3:4 sin is transgression of the law. So, we are to turn away from breaking the law to keeping the law to our best abilities, and when we sin and we all do we have a mediator who is Jesus the Christ. We don’t accept His salvation His sacrifice to keep living the way we were we must repent and turn back to the Fathers Ways.🙏🏽
@@michaelcerafan1 - so basically your saying except Jesus and that’s it? We can murder, commit adultery? We can have idols? The church doesn’t really understand that they are grafted into Israel, not the other way around. Your Messiah is a Jew He kept His Fathers commands He tells you that in scripture and He is our example. Even Paul tells you to do as He did… 🙏🏽 please read Hebrews 8

I beg your pardon "Jesus lives in everyone" He most certainly DOES NOT.
my dear girl, "keeping Xmas and Easter" puts you fair and square IN the world, believers who hv looked into Xmas and E. have nothing to do with them. Easter, from the German euostre, goddess of fertility.
Jesus came to FULFILL the first covenant not replace, in fullfillment work of Christ( Romans 8:4) the old lack of understanding caused by a fallen human mindset gets transformed by who Christ is, what He did, and what He said. Legalism falls away when we learn our value through unconditional love relationship and not through 'earning our place'. The law's beauty and God's original and perfect intent through the law was always mis understood and missused (Which He knew would happen) due to our sinful nature and by sinfull nature I mean the Me and my own evaluation of good and bad and negating the authority and value of God. Our self centered fallen nature puts me before God and others. Negating their value and honor. The law was set to restore empathy and honor.But this sinful nature which was our lense in understanding God and who he is was clearly distorted and therefore the law made sin increase, which is what is meant by Romans 5:20. But let's stop bashing the law because there is so much honor in beauty that can be admired through the lense of a new creation in Christ. And yes, Christ fullfilled the requirement, His greatest commandments sum up the old law, translated it and thru his sacrifice, Him negating his own self value by laying down his life for us, paying the debt of our taking our own life away from God in sin, we can in faith become transformed to be like him and embrace the freedom of relationship based life abundance and be one with them as they are one (John 17). . I love you Graham and God is using you in mighty ways. But bashing the law that God gave, bashes God who is the same yesterday today and forever. The law has been fulfilled and surpassed in Christ, let us not create yet another 'Christian' lynching mob against people yoked in legalism, they are people who love God, they desire to honor him with their life they just haven't fully understood grace yet. Instead, let us encourage them to understand how we are all dependent on Christ not on our own works and not call them diabolical which is not our seat of judgment. Remember Jesus did say through various parables and conversations with his disciples that we by our works are declare what we truly believe in our hearts. Abstaining from sinful behavior and selfishness is not a work of law but an expression of a love and honor filled relationship of that we have in Christ towards, man and The Father. I hope you don't mind I write this but I do for your blessing and benefit in love of our beautiful Jesus and the faith in him of which we share. Blessings
Don't normally comment twice. The Lord spoke to my heart that I had been used as a false witness of the Lord to His body . Forgive me brothers and Sisters. The Love of my savior Jesus and my Father and the precious Holy spirit has set me free. Thank you Graham I got it. And one day I will be able to thank you for loving Jesus. 🤍❤.
I forgive you
@@kitty7644 Thank you and bless you. If for only one. Jesus came.🤍❤
Many have done so. Let it go!
Amen.
