The Dangers of Striving
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
True Christian living is all about resting in the finished works of Jesus Christ. When Jesus declared “It is finished,” He meant that redemption, righteousness, and blessings are complete and can’t be earned; it’s critical that we understand this. The call is to labor—not to achieve, but to stay in alignment through prayer, Scripture, and fellowship. Righteousness, healing, and prosperity are gifts, not goals, and striving to earn them short-circuits grace and numbs intimacy with God. We can stop...

The Truth About the Authority of the Believer (Part 2)
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
As believers, our authority comes from our identity in Jesus Christ. We’re righteous, forgiven, healed, and one with God. It’s imperative that we know who we are; if not, we must renew our minds to our true identity. Operating in our identity as God’s children gives us the same power and ability as Christ holds. Faith in this saves us from useless self-effort to do what’s already done. Allowing God to change our thinking results in life-changing transformation in us.

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. This is something the devil doesn’t want us to know, which is why it’s so important to visualize ourselves as we already are in Christ. Changing our thinking from how the world thinks to how God thinks positions us to...

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

Understanding Your Jesus Identity
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
Knowing our identity in Christ elevates our lives to a whole new level. Jesus’ death and resurrection defeated sin, brought reconciliation to all of humanity, and defined who we are in Him. Under grace, sin isn’t about what we do, but about being out of sync with our true identity as God’s sons and daughters. We no longer have to rely on useless self-effort, because victory in life is one of the finished works of Jesus. Being aware of what has already been done for us protects us from the enemy’s lies and attacks. To support the ministry financially, text “CDMPodcast” to 74483 or...

The Spiritual Progression of Offense
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
Offense is a subtle but powerful force that can stop our spiritual progress if we allow it to take root. It often begins with unmet expectations or careless words that strike a sensitive place in our hearts. When we accept offense, it turns into hurt and disappointment, and if left unprocessed, it becomes bitterness. This progression opens a door for the enemy, giving him an advantage and eventually causing believers to abandon the Word and the will of God. Grace is the key to breaking this cycle; it empowers us to forgive quickly and remain aligned with our identity in Christ. To support the...

How to Guard Your Heart From Offense
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
Offense is a spiritual trap that can derail us from the path God has prepared for our lives. When we get offended, we allow external actions or words to penetrate our hearts, giving them power over our peace. Bitterness is the result of unresolved offense and can corrupt our relationships, our joy, and our ability to love others well. Our focus must remain on Christ, not on people, because only He is unfailing and trustworthy. The Holy Spirit empowers us to overcome offense and bitterness, leading us into healing, restoration, and freedom. To support the ministry financially, text...

Self Effort vs Redeemed Effort Pt.3
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
Under the law, the people constantly toiled to become righteous through their own efforts. Any blessings they received were conditional and based on their performance; they had to work for God’s approval. Under grace, everything has flipped: because of the finished works of Jesus and our faith in them, we’re no longer working for righteousness but from righteousness. When the world pressures us to fall in with its principles, we must make the effort to agree with the salvation God has given us. Believers have been taken from grinding through hard work and drudgery to get closer to God to...

Self Effort vs Redeemed Effort
Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar
When we first get saved, one of the biggest changes we undergo is a shift in mindset. Until we learn to begin renewing our minds, we tend to think we must continue striving through our own efforts to follow a list of rules. This was okay under the old covenant, but we’re now living under the new covenant. The effort of trying to get God to do what is complete has been replaced by the effort to maintain an intimate, personal relationship with Him. Now, the only effort required is the effort to participate in what’s already finished through Jesus. To support the ministry financially, text...
info_outlineGod has great plans for our lives, but those plans are blocked when we deceive ourselves. Deceiving ourselves makes us spiritually blind to the truth of a situation; this is something God wants to deliver us from. Self-deception springs from the fall of man in the garden of Eden, and our sinful nature that resulted from it. The lies we believe about ourselves neutralize us. Recognizing who we are in Christ and believing what God says about us opens our eyes to the truth about ourselves.
