Maintaining Your Righteous Stance
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
In these last days, we’ll see unprecedented global changes, but not all of them will be good. Persecution will increase as part of Satan’s targeted attack against believers and against God’s church. The enemy will use shame, guilt, and condemnation as weapons; we’re to respond by standing in our righteousness and in our identity in Christ. Our trust in God and in His grace gives us power over the enemy. Despite the vastness of the universe and all the places where God could have abided, He loves us so much that He chose to live in us; we must...

The War Against the Soul
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 Authority of the Believer
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
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.

Ten Reasons Why Jesus Was Born
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
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...

Self-Effort vs. Redeemed Effort
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
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...

The Importance of Understanding Righteousness
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
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...

Practically Operating from Your True Identity
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
Believers are God’s children. Knowing who we are impacts our daily living in everything concerning us as well as how we should see ourselves. We’re no longer our old selves, but are now righteous, redeemed, holy, and perfect in Christ. Believing this changes the way we think, which in turn changes our behavior for the better. Because of what God did, we can now dispense with struggling through self-effort to become what we already are right now and simply embrace it.

Living Life Through Your True Identity
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
The quality of our lives depends on living daily from our true identity in Christ. The concept of sin has changed from the Old Testament to the New Testament; sin is not just bad behavior but being out of sync with who we truly are. When we align with our Jesus identity, we stop striving and start flowing in purpose, peace, and power. Living from identity brings freedom from comparison, judgment, and performance-based religion. It is a call to remember who we are and respond accordingly. To support the ministry financially, text “CDMPodcast” to 74483 or visit

Getting in Sync With Your Jesus Identity
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
Knowing who we are and why we were created requires that we understand and live from our identity in Christ rather than trying to become something through performance. Believers are already complete, holy, and righteous in Christ and need to align themselves with these truths rather than trying to achieve them. This true identity impacts various areas of life including marriage, work, and prayer. A key point is that guilt and shame act as "identity amnesia," causing believers to forget who they are in Christ.; coming out of hiding is therefore essential to defeating shame. For a successful...

Recognizing Our True Identity
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
Accepting and believing who we are in Christ allows us to do miracles. As reflections of Jesus, we have the same capability to walk on water the way He and the apostle Peter did. We have the supernatural authority to heal just like Jesus heals—if we believe it. We’re God’s children, with no need for us to earn that status. Because of who we are, we have the same authority and dominion as Christ; we must never let anyone convince us otherwise. To support the ministry financially, text “CDMPodcast” to 74483 or visit
info_outlineDeceiving ourselves trips us up on our spiritual walk. When we deceive ourselves, we’re blind to the assumptions we make and think we’re right when we’re actually wrong. Much of this is delivered through the pulpit; wrong doctrine deceives us so that we don’t see the truth of God’s love and grace. Letting the Holy Spirit guide us in how to live keeps us humble and protects us from pride, which is closely intertwined with self-deception. Sharing God’s perspective though Jesus Christ gives us the spiritual vision we need.
