00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:15.230
- female announcer: Today
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:17.040
with Joseph Prince.
00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:18.070
- Joseph Prince: What do you
00:00:18.070 --> 00:00:18.260
do with a gift?
00:00:18.260 --> 00:00:20.210
You receive it.
00:00:20.210 --> 00:00:21.270
Righteousness is not something
00:00:21.270 --> 00:00:22.270
you obtain by your law-keeping,
00:00:22.270 --> 00:00:24.270
by your works.
00:00:24.270 --> 00:00:25.280
It is a gift.
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:27.140
Say gift again.
00:00:27.140 --> 00:00:29.280
Those who receive what?
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.180
Abundance of grace.
00:00:31.180 --> 00:00:32.220
Is it possible to preach
00:00:32.220 --> 00:00:33.260
too much grace?
00:00:33.260 --> 00:00:34.240
No, the Bible says it's
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:35.140
- announcer: A victorious life
00:00:38.170 --> 00:00:39.260
can be your reality right now.
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.000
Today, as a thank you
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:44.180
for your gift of any amount to
00:00:44.180 --> 00:00:46.080
the ministry, we would like to
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:48.010

and You Will Reign in Life."
00:00:51.170 --> 00:00:53.190
- Joseph Prince: Rest.
00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:55.050
The work is finished.
00:00:55.050 --> 00:00:56.170
Our sins are forgiven.
00:00:56.170 --> 00:00:58.060
Our bodies are healed.
00:00:58.060 --> 00:00:59.210
We are redeemed.
00:00:59.210 --> 00:01:01.030
The curse is destroyed.
00:01:01.030 --> 00:01:02.250
Do you understand, church?
00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:04.100
We now enter into rest.
00:01:04.100 --> 00:01:06.290
- announcer: For a specific
00:01:06.290 --> 00:01:07.290
gift to the ministry,
00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:09.100
you can also request

00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:33.140
- Joseph Prince: Had this
00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:42.290
particular security guy
00:01:42.290 --> 00:01:44.200
following us around.
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.010
And he was--he looked
00:01:46.010 --> 00:01:47.140
very depressed.
00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:48.170
He was very depressed,
00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:49.110
and I asked him for his name.
00:01:49.110 --> 00:01:50.220
He didn't speak much English,
00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:52.120
but he understood better
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:53.110
than spoke in English.
00:01:53.110 --> 00:01:56.010
He understood the things
00:01:56.010 --> 00:01:57.070
that I said.
00:01:57.070 --> 00:01:58.030
And he was listening, listening,
00:01:58.030 --> 00:01:59.080
and he followed us everywhere
00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:00.020
we go.
00:02:00.020 --> 00:02:00.240
And I could see that he lived by
00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:03.110
himself, almost like a recluse.
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.120
Very depressed,
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.160
but I was looking at him.
00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:09.020
And slowly, as the days passed,
00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:10.220
everywhere I go,
00:02:10.220 --> 00:02:11.120
he was listening intently.
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:12.290
And on the bus,
00:02:12.290 --> 00:02:13.280
we started sharing with him.
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.210
And I know some Hebrew, enough
00:02:15.210 --> 00:02:16.230
to be dangerous, and I share
00:02:16.230 --> 00:02:19.030
with him like those things I've
00:02:19.030 --> 00:02:20.220
shared with you for the past
00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:21.210
days, a little here and there.
00:02:21.210 --> 00:02:23.150
And I saw the change in his face
00:02:23.150 --> 00:02:25.120
as the light came on.
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.000
And one day, I was just by
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.210
the River Jordan with
00:02:28.210 --> 00:02:29.160
my pastors.
00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:30.160
And I was talking, and all of
00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:32.080
a sudden--he's been very quiet.
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:33.150
He just put up his hand,
00:02:33.150 --> 00:02:34.160
"Can I say something?"
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:36.010
And I said, "Sure."
00:02:36.010 --> 00:02:37.030
He started sharing and opening
00:02:37.030 --> 00:02:38.120
his heart, and what a story.
00:02:38.130 --> 00:02:41.130
In 2006, Hezbollah in Lebanon
00:02:43.030 --> 00:02:46.030
attacked the patrol guards
00:02:47.210 --> 00:02:50.210
of the border between Israel and
00:02:50.210 --> 00:02:53.030
Lebanon, the Israeli soldiers.
00:02:53.030 --> 00:02:54.290
Five were killed,
00:02:54.290 --> 00:02:57.070
and two were taken captive.
00:02:57.070 --> 00:02:59.010
Some of you know,
00:02:59.010 --> 00:03:00.090
it's a well-known story.
00:03:00.090 --> 00:03:01.110
Two were taken captive.
00:03:01.110 --> 00:03:02.130
For years, Israel
00:03:02.130 --> 00:03:03.050
has asked them back, right?
00:03:03.050 --> 00:03:05.010
Those two that were taken
00:03:05.010 --> 00:03:05.280
captive.
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:06.220
All these five that were killed
00:03:06.220 --> 00:03:07.160
and two taken captive were under
00:03:07.160 --> 00:03:08.150
this man's command,
00:03:08.150 --> 00:03:10.150
this security man.
00:03:10.150 --> 00:03:12.210
And he said for the longest
00:03:12.210 --> 00:03:14.200
time, he felt so guilty,
00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:16.100
he couldn't face the family.
00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:18.140
And as he shared,
00:03:18.140 --> 00:03:19.220
there were tears in his eyes.
00:03:19.220 --> 00:03:20.280
He said that, "I just--
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.160
I just feel guilty."
00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:25.200
And he says that, "But after
00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:26.290
listening to you for these past
00:03:26.290 --> 00:03:28.050
few days, I feel like--" And
00:03:28.050 --> 00:03:30.010
there was a light in his face,
00:03:30.010 --> 00:03:31.210
tears in his eyes.
00:03:31.210 --> 00:03:32.290
"A whole load has been lifted
00:03:33.190 --> 00:03:36.190
off my shoulders."
00:03:36.190 --> 00:03:38.170
A few years after that,
00:03:38.170 --> 00:03:40.200
Israel--by the way, that sparked
00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:43.000
off the second Lebanese war,
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.120
that incident at the border.
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.110
And this man was the commander
00:03:47.110 --> 00:03:49.040
in charge.
00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:50.010
He felt so guilty because he
00:03:50.010 --> 00:03:51.110
was in charge of those men at
00:03:51.110 --> 00:03:52.060
the time.
00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:53.090
Israel asked for those two back.
00:03:53.090 --> 00:03:55.120
They didn't know whether they
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.030
were alive or not.
00:03:56.030 --> 00:03:57.050
And finally, they had to release
00:03:57.050 --> 00:03:58.020
1.000 prisoners to get
00:03:58.020 --> 00:03:59.260
the 2 back,
00:03:59.260 --> 00:04:01.050
and they got them back dead.
00:04:01.050 --> 00:04:03.070
So, he said he's been living by
00:04:03.070 --> 00:04:05.230
himself away from people,
00:04:05.230 --> 00:04:07.250
just working as a security guy.
00:04:07.250 --> 00:04:09.260
And I believe God planned
00:04:10.170 --> 00:04:13.170
that he should be with me
00:04:13.170 --> 00:04:15.050
to hear the gospel of grace.
00:04:15.050 --> 00:04:17.050
If he had heard some mixture,
00:04:17.050 --> 00:04:18.030
oh man, I shudder to think what
00:04:18.030 --> 00:04:20.150
would happen.
00:04:20.150 --> 00:04:21.260
And when I came back again this
00:04:21.260 --> 00:04:22.260
year, I wanted no one else but
00:04:22.260 --> 00:04:24.240
him, and he's with me today.
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.000
Would you like to see him?
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.140
Would you come?
00:04:28.140 --> 00:04:29.230
And our guide is going to come.
00:04:29.230 --> 00:04:32.100
I just would like you all
00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:33.130
to see him.
00:04:33.130 --> 00:04:34.060
This is Rafi,
00:04:35.290 --> 00:04:38.290
my friend Rafi.
00:04:38.290 --> 00:04:41.020
He was a major,
00:04:41.020 --> 00:04:43.040
major of the commanding post
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.020
when the incident happened.
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.110
Today, he's a security guy.
00:04:49.110 --> 00:04:50.100
This is my favorite guide,
00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:52.010
Yuval.
00:04:52.010 --> 00:04:53.170
Yuval's going to help translate
00:04:53.170 --> 00:04:55.150
he understands English, but his
00:04:58.060 --> 00:05:00.140
expression is better in Hebrew.
00:05:00.140 --> 00:05:02.050
So, you just tell them how you
00:05:02.050 --> 00:05:03.240
were before you met me,
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.280
and just in a short way.
00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:08.100
- Yuval: Okay, he's saying that
00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:37.280
of course after the incident
00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:38.230
and the war, he went through
00:05:38.230 --> 00:05:40.000
a very difficult time.
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.100
And when he met you pastor,
00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:44.140
Pastor Prince, after a year ago
00:05:47.200 --> 00:05:50.200
that you have taught him about
00:05:50.200 --> 00:05:52.010
Jesus, and his life changed.
00:05:52.210 --> 00:05:55.210
And he just saw the light.
00:06:02.130 --> 00:06:05.130
- Joseph: And I met Yuval.
00:06:05.130 --> 00:06:07.200
This is my guide, Yuval.
00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:09.230
And my mother loves him.
00:06:09.270 --> 00:06:12.270
My mother says something about
00:06:12.270 --> 00:06:14.240
his eyes.
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.260
Thank God my father has
00:06:16.260 --> 00:06:18.280
already gone to be with Jesus.
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.120
But I met Yuval in 2006,
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.020
my first time meeting him,
00:06:25.020 --> 00:06:26.040
and he was everywhere.
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:27.020
And he was--he was hungry for
00:06:27.020 --> 00:06:28.140
the truth.
00:06:28.140 --> 00:06:29.050
You know, the guides, many
00:06:29.050 --> 00:06:30.010
of them, they know about Jesus,
00:06:30.010 --> 00:06:31.220
but the most important thing is
00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:33.040
to believe in him in a personal
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.090
way, to believe him as
00:06:35.090 --> 00:06:37.080
your Savior, as your Lord.
00:06:37.080 --> 00:06:39.070
So, tell them what happened in
00:06:39.070 --> 00:06:40.050
Caesarea Philippi.
00:06:40.050 --> 00:06:42.040
- Yuval: Yeah, it was some time
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.240
after the war, 2006 now that I'm
00:06:45.270 --> 00:06:48.270
thinking about it.
00:06:48.270 --> 00:06:49.200
- Joseph: The incident the
00:06:49.200 --> 00:06:50.160
sparked off the second Lebanese
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.220
war, 2006.
00:06:51.220 --> 00:06:52.140
- Yuval: November that we all
00:06:52.140 --> 00:06:54.160
had the privilege to be your
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.130
tour guide, and we all went to
00:06:56.290 --> 00:06:59.290
a very special place to
00:06:59.290 --> 00:07:02.280
Caesarea Philippi.
00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:04.040
- Joseph: There are two
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:04.230
Caesareas.
00:07:04.230 --> 00:07:05.100
This is Caesarea, and that's
00:07:05.100 --> 00:07:06.020
Caesarea Philippi at the north.
00:07:06.020 --> 00:07:08.240
- Yuval: I think you all know
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.000
this was the place where Jesus
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.110
came with the disciples,
00:07:11.110 --> 00:07:13.000
and he asked them the question,
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:14.060
who do people say that he is?
00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:16.180
And we began to discuss this
00:07:16.180 --> 00:07:19.140
question too because me too,
00:07:19.140 --> 00:07:21.150
I was looking for the truth.
00:07:21.150 --> 00:07:23.100
And you've changed my life
00:07:23.100 --> 00:07:25.140
too, pastor.
00:07:25.140 --> 00:07:26.190
- Joseph: Who is Jesus to you
00:07:26.190 --> 00:07:27.290
now?
00:07:27.290 --> 00:07:28.190
- Yuval: Saved my life.
00:07:28.190 --> 00:07:30.120
- Joseph: Amen,
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:31.030
praise the Lord.
00:07:31.030 --> 00:07:31.200
Give them a hand, hallelujah.
00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:32.190
Thank you very much, amen.
00:07:32.190 --> 00:07:35.110
You see, I call them--
00:07:35.110 --> 00:07:37.180
I call them the Bikkurim.
00:07:37.180 --> 00:07:39.290
Bikkurim in Hebrew means
00:07:39.290 --> 00:07:41.080
the firstfruits.
00:07:41.080 --> 00:07:42.230
So, I'm seeing results
00:07:42.230 --> 00:07:45.050
everywhere the gospel of grace
00:07:45.050 --> 00:07:46.100
is being preached.
00:07:46.100 --> 00:07:47.180
There's no other gospel, people.
00:07:47.180 --> 00:07:49.250
Grace is not a teaching.
00:07:49.250 --> 00:07:51.110
It's not a curriculum
00:07:51.110 --> 00:07:52.080
in a Bible school.
00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:53.160
You know, you have hermeneutics,
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:54.150
homiletics, numatology,
00:07:54.150 --> 00:07:57.100
and all that, and then grace.
00:07:57.100 --> 00:07:58.270
Grace is not a topic,
00:07:58.270 --> 00:07:59.210
it's the gospel.
00:07:59.210 --> 00:08:00.220
Grace came with Jesus Christ,
00:08:00.220 --> 00:08:03.150
amen?
00:08:03.150 --> 00:08:04.110
But can you have too much grace,
00:08:04.110 --> 00:08:05.180
Pastor Prince?
00:08:05.180 --> 00:08:06.120
Well, let's read.
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.060
Let's go into the lesson today,
00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:08.270
shall we?
00:08:08.270 --> 00:08:09.210
All right, before the sun sets,
00:08:09.210 --> 00:08:11.210
all right?
00:08:11.210 --> 00:08:12.170
Romans 5:17.
00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:13.230
Romans 5:17 says,
00:08:13.230 --> 00:08:16.090
"By one man's offense,"
00:08:16.090 --> 00:08:17.160
who is that?
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:18.160
Adam.
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:19.040
"Death reigned through that one,
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.010
much more," say much more.
00:08:21.010 --> 00:08:23.290
"Those who receive," and this
00:08:23.290 --> 00:08:26.010
receive is present tense in the
00:08:26.010 --> 00:08:27.080
Greek.
00:08:27.080 --> 00:08:29.040
You must be
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:30.000
continually conscious.
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.000
In other words, a believer
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:32.180
doesn't receive only one time.
00:08:32.180 --> 00:08:34.080
The receive here is present
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.120
continuous tense.
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:37.110
Those who receive what?
00:08:37.110 --> 00:08:38.260
"Abundance of grace and
00:08:38.260 --> 00:08:40.240
of the gift of righteousness."
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.130
Say gift three times.
00:08:43.290 --> 00:08:46.290
Righteousness is a?
00:08:46.290 --> 00:08:49.060
What do you do with a gift?
00:08:49.140 --> 00:08:52.140
You receive it.
00:08:52.140 --> 00:08:54.110
Righteousness is not something
00:08:54.110 --> 00:08:55.130
you obtain by your law-keeping,
00:08:55.130 --> 00:08:57.140
by your works.
00:08:57.140 --> 00:08:58.120
It is a gift.
00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:59.280
Say gift again.
00:08:59.280 --> 00:09:02.030
Those who receive what?
00:09:02.030 --> 00:09:03.290
Abundance of grace.
00:09:03.290 --> 00:09:05.140
Is it possible to preach
00:09:05.140 --> 00:09:06.060
too much grace?
00:09:06.060 --> 00:09:07.120
No, the Bible says it's through
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.110
the abundance of grace
00:09:08.110 --> 00:09:10.040
and the gift of righteousness
00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:12.100
you will reign in life.
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.000
You will reign in life.
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.020
Why is it that we don't see
00:09:20.020 --> 00:09:21.290
believers reigning?
00:09:21.290 --> 00:09:23.030
Because if I were the devil--
00:09:23.030 --> 00:09:25.210
and I'm not the devil because
00:09:25.210 --> 00:09:27.200
the devil is never this
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:28.190
good looking.
00:09:31.050 --> 00:09:34.050
You want to see how the devil
00:09:34.050 --> 00:09:34.230
looks like?
00:09:34.230 --> 00:09:35.150
Okay, hang on.
00:09:35.150 --> 00:09:38.150
Two gifts, abundance of grace
00:09:38.280 --> 00:09:41.280
and the gift of righteousness,
00:09:41.280 --> 00:09:43.170
you'll reign in life.
00:09:43.170 --> 00:09:45.050
If I were the devil, I would
00:09:45.050 --> 00:09:46.020
attack these two truths.
00:09:46.020 --> 00:09:48.240
I would attack it with
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:49.290
all that I have.
00:09:49.290 --> 00:09:51.010
Matt, I would attack those who
00:09:51.010 --> 00:09:52.240
preach abundance of grace, and I
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:53.290
will say that, "He's preaching
00:09:53.290 --> 00:09:55.080
too much grace.
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:56.150
He's preaching abundance
00:09:56.150 --> 00:09:57.230
of grace."
00:09:57.230 --> 00:09:58.250
And I'll attack those who say,
00:09:58.250 --> 00:10:00.240
"You can be right
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.150
as a gift with God.
00:10:02.150 --> 00:10:04.010
Your righteousness is a gift,
00:10:04.010 --> 00:10:05.280
I'll attack that."
00:10:05.280 --> 00:10:07.050
And I'll say that they are
00:10:07.050 --> 00:10:08.080
promoting license to sin.
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.050
They are promoting--you see,
00:10:10.050 --> 00:10:11.070
the devil knows the moment
00:10:11.070 --> 00:10:13.040
people receive this gift,
00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:14.050
they will reign in life.
00:10:14.050 --> 00:10:16.120
And when you reign in life,
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.090
your sinful habits don't.
00:10:18.090 --> 00:10:20.080
When you reign in life,
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.040
the devil doesn't.
00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:23.280
When you reign in life,
00:10:23.280 --> 00:10:25.250
circumstances are under your
00:10:25.250 --> 00:10:26.280
feet, and you are not under it.
00:10:26.280 --> 00:10:29.240
You are reigning in life.
00:10:30.020 --> 00:10:33.020
And yet, it's almost like the
00:10:33.020 --> 00:10:35.190
wool has been pulled over our
00:10:35.190 --> 00:10:37.080
eyes, and we miss this wonderful
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.160
truth that God has for us.
00:10:39.160 --> 00:10:41.170
It's only by the abundance
00:10:41.170 --> 00:10:42.140
of grace and the gift of
00:10:42.140 --> 00:10:43.170
righteousness that one reigns.
00:10:43.170 --> 00:10:45.140
A man wrote to me,
00:10:45.140 --> 00:10:48.070
back then he was 29 years old.
00:10:48.070 --> 00:10:50.110
Now, he's probably early 30s.
00:10:50.110 --> 00:10:51.250
And he wrote to me this
00:10:51.250 --> 00:10:53.220
testimony that he was bound with
00:10:54.010 --> 00:10:57.010
an addiction to pornography.
00:10:57.130 --> 00:11:00.150
And he said, "Pastor Prince,
00:11:00.150 --> 00:11:02.050
when I heard you say, 'Even in
00:11:02.050 --> 00:11:03.250
the midst of your sin, while you
00:11:03.250 --> 00:11:05.270
are you smoking, whatever your
00:11:05.270 --> 00:11:07.040
addiction is, say, "I am
00:11:07.040 --> 00:11:08.060
the righteousness of God
00:11:08.060 --> 00:11:10.050
in Christ.'"
00:11:10.050 --> 00:11:11.290
Say, "I'm the righteousness
00:11:11.290 --> 00:11:13.100
of God in Christ."
00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:14.210
And the last thing the devil
00:11:14.210 --> 00:11:15.100
will say, "How can you say that
00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:16.290
after what you have done, or
00:11:16.290 --> 00:11:18.280
what you are doing right now?"
00:11:18.280 --> 00:11:20.150
The devil wants you to believe
00:11:20.150 --> 00:11:22.090
that righteousness is based on
00:11:22.090 --> 00:11:24.050
what you do or what
00:11:24.050 --> 00:11:25.080
you don't do.
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:26.100
But the Bible says seek first
00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:27.290
his, not yours, his
00:11:27.290 --> 00:11:29.130
righteousness, which is a gift,
00:11:29.130 --> 00:11:31.010
and all the things that you want
00:11:31.010 --> 00:11:32.150
in life will be added to you."
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.000
So, this man, when he heard me
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.210
preach that, he started
00:11:39.210 --> 00:11:41.010
declaring while he was
00:11:41.010 --> 00:11:42.040
watching--I said while he was
00:11:42.040 --> 00:11:43.120
watching, the last thing you
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.200
want to do is to confess
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:45.170
you're the righteousness of God
00:11:45.170 --> 00:11:46.120
in Christ.
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:47.000
How many of you understand that?
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.050
And he says he's--by the way,
00:11:48.050 --> 00:11:49.140
I need to tell you that he's
00:11:49.140 --> 00:11:50.090
a martial artist, advanced stage
00:11:50.090 --> 00:11:53.020
which means he's very highly
00:11:53.020 --> 00:11:55.240
disciplined.
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:56.230
He says that with all his
00:11:56.230 --> 00:11:57.130
discipline, with all his
00:11:57.130 --> 00:11:58.290
his addiction.
00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:02.130
How many know that your
00:12:02.130 --> 00:12:03.270
willpower can only go so far?
00:12:03.270 --> 00:12:06.090
One week, two weeks,
00:12:06.090 --> 00:12:07.150
you collapse.
00:12:07.150 --> 00:12:09.200
But watch this.
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:10.150
He says, "The moment I started
00:12:10.150 --> 00:12:11.070
confessing, at first it became
00:12:11.070 --> 00:12:12.090
worse," he said,
00:12:12.090 --> 00:12:13.250
"and then I kept on confessing.
00:12:13.250 --> 00:12:14.270
While I was still in it,
00:12:14.270 --> 00:12:16.150
I kept confessing.
00:12:16.150 --> 00:12:17.210
And Pastor Prince, I want you to
00:12:17.210 --> 00:12:18.230
know that one day, I got up,
00:12:18.230 --> 00:12:19.220
and all the desire
00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:20.240
It's been a few years before
00:12:22.270 --> 00:12:24.070
I start writing to you.
00:12:24.070 --> 00:12:25.060
I want you to tell the world
00:12:25.060 --> 00:12:26.160
that grace overcomes sin,
00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:29.120
and any sinful habits,
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.090
or any addictions."
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.120
Amen?
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.050
For sin shall not have dominion
00:12:35.050 --> 00:12:36.060
over you, for you're not under
00:12:36.060 --> 00:12:37.110
law, but under grace.
00:12:37.110 --> 00:12:39.020
Can I have a good amen?
00:12:39.020 --> 00:12:40.020
Now, how are you and I made
00:12:40.020 --> 00:12:41.110
righteous?
00:12:41.110 --> 00:12:42.120
"But Pastor Prince, isn't
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:43.000
holiness important?"
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:43.270
Listen, friend, the gospel is
00:12:43.270 --> 00:12:44.270
not a revelation of holiness.
00:12:44.270 --> 00:12:46.200
Holiness is important.
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:47.290
God is thrice holy.
00:12:47.290 --> 00:12:49.070
Holy, holy, holy,
00:12:49.070 --> 00:12:50.140
Lord God Almighty.
00:12:50.140 --> 00:12:51.120
But listen, righteousness is
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:52.140
the root, holiness is the fruit.
00:12:52.140 --> 00:12:55.010
For the first four chapters in
00:12:55.010 --> 00:12:57.230
Galatians, Paul talked about law
00:12:57.230 --> 00:12:59.020
and grace.
00:12:59.020 --> 00:12:59.230
Don't go back to the law.
00:12:59.230 --> 00:13:00.220
He tells the believers, "Don't
00:13:00.220 --> 00:13:01.120
go back to the law.
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:02.070
I'm shocked.
00:13:02.070 --> 00:13:03.060
I marveled you are so soon
00:13:03.060 --> 00:13:04.060
removed from him who called you
00:13:04.060 --> 00:13:05.130
into the grace of Christ into
00:13:05.130 --> 00:13:06.230
another gospel."
00:13:06.230 --> 00:13:08.200
And he says to the Galatians,
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.100
"You are foolish.
00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:12.010
Having begun in the Spirit,
00:13:12.010 --> 00:13:13.020
are you now made perfect
00:13:13.020 --> 00:13:14.050
by the flesh?
00:13:14.050 --> 00:13:14.250
Let me ask you a question,"
00:13:14.250 --> 00:13:15.180
Paul says.
00:13:15.180 --> 00:13:16.110
"Did you receive the Holy Spirit
00:13:16.110 --> 00:13:17.170
by the works of the law, or by
00:13:17.170 --> 00:13:18.120
the hearing of faith?"
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.060
He goes on to say, "He therefore
00:13:20.060 --> 00:13:21.250
that ministers to you the Spirit
00:13:21.250 --> 00:13:22.260
and works miracles among you,
00:13:22.260 --> 00:13:25.090
does he do it by the works of
00:13:25.090 --> 00:13:26.250
the law, or by the hearing of
00:13:26.250 --> 00:13:28.060
faith?"
00:13:28.060 --> 00:13:29.040
People, this is crucial.
00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:31.050
He's taking about receiving
00:13:31.050 --> 00:13:32.020
miracles.
00:13:32.020 --> 00:13:33.030
Is it by the works of the law,
00:13:33.030 --> 00:13:34.150
or by the hearing of faith?
00:13:34.150 --> 00:13:36.040
Verse 5, chapter 3 of Galatians.
00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:37.270
"He therefore that ministereth
00:13:37.270 --> 00:13:39.030
to you the Spirit and worketh
00:13:39.070 --> 00:13:42.070
miracles," is present tense.
00:13:42.070 --> 00:13:44.170
God who is constantly working
00:13:44.170 --> 00:13:45.140
miracles among you.
00:13:45.140 --> 00:13:47.000
You don't need an environment.
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.120
God works miracles in and
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.040
through you all the time.
00:13:50.040 --> 00:13:51.190
Does God do it by the works of
00:13:51.190 --> 00:13:53.010
the law in your life,
00:13:53.010 --> 00:13:54.110
or by the hearing of faith?
00:13:54.110 --> 00:13:57.040
And the hearing of faith in the
00:13:57.040 --> 00:13:58.080
context there is believing you
00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:59.280
are righteous by faith because
00:13:59.280 --> 00:14:01.180
the next verse says,
00:14:01.180 --> 00:14:02.150
"Even as Abraham believed God,
00:14:02.150 --> 00:14:04.010
and it was counted to him
00:14:04.010 --> 00:14:04.270
for righteousness."
00:14:05.270 --> 00:14:08.270
How are you and I made
00:14:08.270 --> 00:14:09.250
righteous?
00:14:09.250 --> 00:14:10.170
So, for the first four chapters,
00:14:10.170 --> 00:14:11.290
he talks about law and grace,
00:14:11.290 --> 00:14:13.070
law and grace, law and grace,
00:14:13.070 --> 00:14:14.120
law and grace.
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:15.080
Chapter 5 of Galatians, he says,
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:17.030
"Now the fruit of being under
00:14:17.030 --> 00:14:19.090
grace, the fruit of the Spirit
00:14:19.160 --> 00:14:22.160
is love, joy, peace."
00:14:22.160 --> 00:14:23.270
Even self-control is a fruit.
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.120
If I want self-control in
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.150
my church,
00:14:29.150 --> 00:14:30.120
I don't preach self-control.
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.200
That will make them fall back on
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.030
their flesh.
00:14:34.030 --> 00:14:34.290
I preach grace, true grace,
00:14:35.160 --> 00:14:38.160
and the fruit is self-control,
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:41.200
plus love, joy, and peace.
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.020
It's the real thing.
00:14:43.020 --> 00:14:44.000
And contrast with that works of
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.270
the flesh.
00:14:46.270 --> 00:14:48.100
Paul says, "The works of the
00:14:48.100 --> 00:14:49.000
flesh, adultery, variance,
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:50.270
bitterness, party spirit,
00:14:50.270 --> 00:14:52.050
witchcraft, and on and on."
00:14:52.050 --> 00:14:53.180
It's called works of the flesh.
00:14:53.180 --> 00:14:54.290
Notice it's not called fruit of
00:14:54.290 --> 00:14:56.070
the flesh.
00:14:56.070 --> 00:14:57.190
It's called works of the flesh.
00:14:57.190 --> 00:14:59.090
What's the difference?
00:14:59.090 --> 00:15:00.040
Fruit, works.
00:15:00.040 --> 00:15:02.220
Works is the result of effort.
00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:04.280
Whenever you put in effort,
00:15:04.280 --> 00:15:07.040
that's it, you're bound
00:15:07.040 --> 00:15:08.140
to produce the fruit.
00:15:08.140 --> 00:15:09.280
Even though your effort is--your
00:15:09.280 --> 00:15:12.010
intentions in that effort
00:15:12.010 --> 00:15:14.050
is genuine, is well-meaning,
00:15:14.050 --> 00:15:16.250
it's still your own efforts.
00:15:16.250 --> 00:15:19.070
But the fruit--works
00:15:19.070 --> 00:15:21.080
is a result of effort.
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:22.210
Fruit is the result of life.
00:15:22.210 --> 00:15:24.280
And that's why the Bible says
00:15:24.280 --> 00:15:26.110
just rest, just be cool,
00:15:26.110 --> 00:15:27.250
rest in him.
00:15:27.250 --> 00:15:28.250
When you rest in him, that's
00:15:28.250 --> 00:15:29.210
called abide.
00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:30.190
Another word is abide.
00:15:30.190 --> 00:15:31.170
When you abide, how many need
00:15:31.170 --> 00:15:33.090
to be part of the vine when
00:15:33.090 --> 00:15:34.280
actually Jesus says, "You are--
00:15:34.280 --> 00:15:36.290
I am the vine, you are."
00:15:36.290 --> 00:15:37.260
You are.
00:15:37.260 --> 00:15:39.010
Don't try to be, you are.
00:15:39.010 --> 00:15:40.240
So, if you are, what do you do?
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.240
The only way you can hinder that
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.030
life from flowing to produce
00:15:45.030 --> 00:15:47.060
that luscious bunch of grapes
00:15:47.060 --> 00:15:49.100
and fruits through his glory
00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:50.180
is your effort.
00:15:50.180 --> 00:15:51.140
The more you--like you are
00:15:51.140 --> 00:15:53.030
a branch, and you are
00:15:53.030 --> 00:15:54.040
tightening up.
00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:54.260
You are trying your best
00:15:54.260 --> 00:15:55.120
to produce.
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:56.040
The more you tighten up,
00:15:56.040 --> 00:15:56.190
the sap doesn't flow.
00:15:58.280 --> 00:16:02.000
It's not try, it's trust.
00:16:04.010 --> 00:16:07.010
It's not strife, it's rest.
00:16:07.010 --> 00:16:09.040
Amen?
00:16:09.040 --> 00:16:11.180
The more you rest,
00:16:11.180 --> 00:16:12.200
the more God works.
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.080
And that's why the priests of
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:16.230
Israel, they have to be girded
00:16:16.230 --> 00:16:19.010
with linen clothes all the way
00:16:19.010 --> 00:16:21.090
from the top to the bottom.
00:16:21.090 --> 00:16:22.230
They are clothed in linen
00:16:22.230 --> 00:16:23.250
clothes.
00:16:23.250 --> 00:16:25.030
Linen, and God says you must not
00:16:25.030 --> 00:16:26.120
wear anything that causes sweat,
00:16:26.290 --> 00:16:29.290
Ezekiel 44.
00:16:29.290 --> 00:16:31.170
Every priest must not gird
00:16:31.170 --> 00:16:32.280
themselves with anything
00:16:32.280 --> 00:16:34.200
except linen.
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.160
They must not have anything
00:16:36.160 --> 00:16:37.250
that causes sweat.
00:16:37.250 --> 00:16:39.070
Now turn to your neighbor,
00:16:39.070 --> 00:16:40.010
smile, and say,
00:16:40.010 --> 00:16:40.230
"Thou shall not sweat."
00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:46.100
"What about my healing?
00:16:46.100 --> 00:16:47.100
I need my healing,
00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:48.070
Pastor Prince."
00:16:48.070 --> 00:16:49.060
Don't sweat for it.
00:16:49.060 --> 00:16:51.040
Your sweating is hindering.
00:16:51.040 --> 00:16:52.260
I said your sweating is
00:16:52.260 --> 00:16:54.120
hindering.
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:55.240
The more you try,
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.070
the worse it is.
00:16:57.070 --> 00:16:59.180
When Jesus in Luke 18 and 19,
00:16:59.180 --> 00:17:01.050
Jesus gave the rich young ruler
00:17:01.090 --> 00:17:04.090
the law, he can hardly give
00:17:04.090 --> 00:17:05.240
a dollar.
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:06.090
Luke 19, the next chapter,
00:17:06.090 --> 00:17:08.010
Jesus gave grace to Zacchaeus,
00:17:08.010 --> 00:17:09.200
his house was opened up.
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.250
Half his goods he'll give to
00:17:11.250 --> 00:17:13.040
the poor, and he'll restore
00:17:13.040 --> 00:17:14.110
to whoever he has cheated.
00:17:14.110 --> 00:17:16.140
Look at the effect of law.
00:17:16.140 --> 00:17:18.230
It shuts people's hearts up.
00:17:18.230 --> 00:17:19.240
Look at the effect of grace.
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.110
It opens up their hearts.
00:17:21.110 --> 00:17:23.080
And that's why the Holy Spirit
00:17:23.080 --> 00:17:24.170
put these two stories,
00:17:24.170 --> 00:17:25.260
even though they didn't happen
00:17:25.260 --> 00:17:27.230
chronologically, he put them
00:17:27.230 --> 00:17:28.120
side by side.
00:17:28.120 --> 00:17:29.100
There is a divine order,
00:17:29.100 --> 00:17:30.130
a divine truth for us to learn.
00:17:30.130 --> 00:17:33.060
I want to share with you people
00:17:33.060 --> 00:17:34.070
something.
00:17:34.070 --> 00:17:34.270
You need to learn this because
00:17:34.270 --> 00:17:36.060
it's crucial for us.
00:17:36.060 --> 00:17:37.210
There are those who really
00:17:37.210 --> 00:17:39.090
believe, they call it practical
00:17:39.090 --> 00:17:40.260
teaching.
00:17:40.260 --> 00:17:41.220
You know, you got to be
00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:42.260
practical.
00:17:42.260 --> 00:17:43.230
There's nothing more practical
00:17:43.230 --> 00:17:44.280
than looking at Jesus.
00:17:45.100 --> 00:17:48.100
You know what happened to Peter
00:17:48.100 --> 00:17:49.270
when Peter looked at Jesus?
00:17:49.270 --> 00:17:51.210
He did the supernatural.
00:17:51.210 --> 00:17:53.230
Jesus was above the storm, Jesus
00:17:53.230 --> 00:17:55.180
was above the waters.
00:17:55.180 --> 00:17:57.090
How many of you have been to
00:17:57.090 --> 00:17:58.260
the Sea of Galilee?
00:17:58.260 --> 00:18:00.050
You have taken the boat, right?
00:18:00.050 --> 00:18:01.130
You need to take the boat ride
00:18:03.280 --> 00:18:05.110
at night, when there's
00:18:05.110 --> 00:18:07.180
a storm brewing.
00:18:07.180 --> 00:18:09.140
I was on one some years ago.
00:18:09.210 --> 00:18:12.210
My leaders and I will never
00:18:12.210 --> 00:18:13.170
forget that.
00:18:13.170 --> 00:18:14.230
We want to--we were gung-ho,
00:18:14.230 --> 00:18:16.020
want to take a night ride.
00:18:16.020 --> 00:18:16.240
And the boat just went almost to
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:19.120
the center, and the guy says,
00:18:19.120 --> 00:18:21.000
"We have to turn back.
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.040
There's a storm coming."
00:18:22.040 --> 00:18:22.270
I said, "Go back right now,
00:18:22.270 --> 00:18:24.160
man."
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.050
And we can feel the whole thing
00:18:26.050 --> 00:18:27.110
You saw the hills around
00:18:29.230 --> 00:18:31.040
the Lake of Galilee?
00:18:31.040 --> 00:18:32.080
The people there will tell you a
00:18:32.080 --> 00:18:33.290
storm can just come in suddenly
00:18:33.290 --> 00:18:35.280
because it's like a funnel.
00:18:36.060 --> 00:18:39.060
On a night like that,
00:18:39.230 --> 00:18:42.230
the disciples who were
00:18:42.230 --> 00:18:45.110
experienced fishermen, they were
00:18:45.110 --> 00:18:48.070
crying out for their dear life.
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.160
And out there in the storm,
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.050
above the waves,
00:18:54.050 --> 00:18:56.290
there came a man walking.
00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:04.120
Not exactly like that.
00:19:04.120 --> 00:19:06.160
That's my version.
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.110
Yeah, what's happening?
00:19:08.110 --> 00:19:10.120
He came walking.
00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:13.220
And the Bible says Peter
00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:14.210
looked at him.
00:19:14.210 --> 00:19:15.190
As long as Peter's eyes
00:19:15.190 --> 00:19:17.220
was fixed on Jesus,
00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:19.280
Peter did what Jesus did.
00:19:20.060 --> 00:19:23.060
Is that practical?
00:19:23.060 --> 00:19:25.080
I say is that practical?
00:19:25.080 --> 00:19:27.050
The Bible says we all with
00:19:27.050 --> 00:19:28.130
unveiled face, beholding as in
00:19:28.130 --> 00:19:30.040
a glass the glory of the Lord,
00:19:30.040 --> 00:19:32.080
are being transformed into
00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:33.020
the same image from
00:19:33.020 --> 00:19:34.090
glory to glory,
00:19:34.090 --> 00:19:35.080
even by the Spirit of the Lord.
00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:37.160
So, in other words, the pulpit
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:39.090
has got to be a place of
00:19:39.090 --> 00:19:40.060
unveiling the beauty, and the
00:19:40.060 --> 00:19:41.290
glories, and the excellencies of
00:19:41.290 --> 00:19:43.170
Christ and his finished work.
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:46.200
When people behold that,
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:47.130
they are transformed like that
00:19:47.130 --> 00:19:48.110
martial artist guy I told you
00:19:48.110 --> 00:19:49.240
about, all right?
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:50.250
They are transformed
00:19:50.250 --> 00:19:51.230
by beholding.
00:19:51.230 --> 00:19:52.210
The devil wants you focused on
00:19:52.210 --> 00:19:53.290
yourself.
00:19:53.290 --> 00:19:54.270
And the moment that Peter
00:19:54.270 --> 00:19:56.070
started doing what Jesus did,
00:19:56.070 --> 00:19:57.280
walking on the water, as long as
00:19:57.280 --> 00:19:59.170
his eye was on Jesus,
00:19:59.170 --> 00:20:00.260
he did the supernatural.
00:20:00.260 --> 00:20:02.010
Nothing could be more practical.
00:20:02.010 --> 00:20:03.150
But then he heard the howling
00:20:03.150 --> 00:20:05.240
winds, he felt the splash of
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.200
the water, he felt the storm
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.210
brewing even more.
00:20:09.210 --> 00:20:11.260
And then, all of a sudden,
00:20:11.260 --> 00:20:12.280
he remembered.
00:20:12.280 --> 00:20:13.280
Back in the University of Haifa,
00:20:14.040 --> 00:20:17.040
they taught us that what goes up
00:20:17.040 --> 00:20:19.290
must come down.
00:20:19.290 --> 00:20:21.260
And never under any
00:20:21.260 --> 00:20:24.150
circumstances must you step
00:20:24.150 --> 00:20:25.220
on water.
00:20:25.220 --> 00:20:27.080
And down he goes.
00:20:28.010 --> 00:20:31.010
Why?
00:20:31.010 --> 00:20:31.220
He started--the Bible says he
00:20:31.220 --> 00:20:32.260
started looking at the storm.
00:20:33.040 --> 00:20:36.040
And that's what the media is
00:20:36.040 --> 00:20:38.190
there for in America today.
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.000
Everyone is looking at
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:42.190
the storm.
00:20:42.190 --> 00:20:43.280
Everyone is looking around.
00:20:43.280 --> 00:20:45.270
God give us people that would
00:20:45.270 --> 00:20:47.220
look at Jesus.
00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:49.040
I'm not saying there's no storm.
00:20:49.040 --> 00:20:50.250
I'm not saying pretend
00:20:50.250 --> 00:20:51.220
there's no storm.
00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:52.260
In the midst of the storm,
00:20:52.260 --> 00:20:54.040
Peter looked at Jesus.
00:20:54.040 --> 00:20:55.170
The problem happened when
00:20:55.170 --> 00:20:57.040
he took his eyes off Jesus.
00:20:57.040 --> 00:20:58.240
And then Jesus got hold of him.
00:21:01.030 --> 00:21:03.210
Amen?
00:21:03.210 --> 00:21:05.020
It says, "Wherefore didst thou
00:21:05.020 --> 00:21:06.060
doubt?"
00:21:06.060 --> 00:21:07.070
They pull him back.
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:10.160
Now that, my friend, is a lesson
00:21:10.210 --> 00:21:13.210
in Christian life that you're
00:21:13.210 --> 00:21:15.120
not to look at each other and
00:21:15.120 --> 00:21:16.260
to get answers from each other
00:21:19.060 --> 00:21:21.140
because there's no answers
00:21:21.140 --> 00:21:22.140
horizontally.
00:21:22.140 --> 00:21:24.030
The answer is vertically.
00:21:24.030 --> 00:21:25.240
How good you are horizontally
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:27.270
is how good you are vertically.
00:21:27.270 --> 00:21:30.100
In fact, in the book of
00:21:30.100 --> 00:21:31.190
Galatians, it begins with,
00:21:31.190 --> 00:21:32.270
"Everything has been given
00:21:32.270 --> 00:21:34.180
to you."
00:21:34.180 --> 00:21:35.200
You are seated with Christ.
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:37.030
How well you--can you bring
00:21:37.030 --> 00:21:38.230
a chair here?
00:21:38.230 --> 00:21:39.240
How well you sit?
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.000
Come on, how well you sit?
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:43.040
In the next chapter,
00:21:43.040 --> 00:21:45.080
walk worthy of the Lord.
00:21:45.080 --> 00:21:46.020
How well you sit
00:21:46.020 --> 00:21:46.250
is how well you walk.
00:21:46.250 --> 00:21:48.250
How well you rest is how
00:21:48.250 --> 00:21:50.080
well you'll work and serve.
00:21:51.100 --> 00:21:54.100
Amen, are you listening?
00:21:54.100 --> 00:21:56.190
Now, the more you sit,
00:21:56.190 --> 00:21:59.190
the Christian life begins,
00:21:59.190 --> 00:22:01.220
salvation begins with sitting.
00:22:01.220 --> 00:22:04.130
You come to God and you say,
00:22:04.130 --> 00:22:05.210
"Lord, you've done it all.
00:22:05.210 --> 00:22:07.120
Thank you."
00:22:07.120 --> 00:22:08.190
I said it begins with sitting.
00:22:08.190 --> 00:22:11.070
It is not D-O.
00:22:11.070 --> 00:22:13.140
It is D-O-N-E.
00:22:13.140 --> 00:22:15.190
What about healing?
00:22:15.190 --> 00:22:17.170
No, healing, you must get up.
00:22:17.170 --> 00:22:18.130
You must get up and get it
00:22:18.130 --> 00:22:20.060
on your own.
00:22:20.060 --> 00:22:20.270
No way.
00:22:20.270 --> 00:22:21.200
Everything, every blessing
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.130
comes with a fresh sitting,
00:22:23.130 --> 00:22:25.220
if you would.
00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:27.160
If you sit well,
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:29.010
you will walk well.
00:22:29.010 --> 00:22:31.040
Walking in the next chapter
00:22:31.040 --> 00:22:32.050
talks about husband love
00:22:32.050 --> 00:22:33.060
your wives.
00:22:33.060 --> 00:22:34.040
How well do you love your wife?
00:22:34.040 --> 00:22:36.000
How well do you submit
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:36.220
to your husband
00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:37.120
or adjust to your husband?
00:22:37.120 --> 00:22:39.000
How well you treat others
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:40.050
and all that has
00:22:40.050 --> 00:22:41.000

on "Joseph Prince."
00:23:13.030 --> 00:23:14.120
- Joseph Prince: It's not
00:23:14.120 --> 00:23:15.030
a question of
00:23:15.030 --> 00:23:16.110
what I'm going to do.
00:23:16.110 --> 00:23:17.210
It's a question of
00:23:17.210 --> 00:23:19.010
he's going to do it.
00:23:19.010 --> 00:23:21.010
When I rest, Jesus gets up.
00:23:21.040 --> 00:23:24.040
Amen.
00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:26.110
May the Lord always be
00:23:26.110 --> 00:23:27.180

00:23:47.190 --> 00:23:48.290
The work is finished.
00:23:48.290 --> 00:23:50.140
Our sins are forgiven.
00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:52.030
Our bodies are healed.
00:23:52.030 --> 00:23:53.180
We are redeemed.
00:23:53.180 --> 00:23:54.280
The curse is destroyed.
00:23:54.280 --> 00:23:56.200
Do you understand, church?
00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:58.050

all the judgment of God, all
00:24:13.020 --> 00:24:15.040
the curse, all the condemnation,
00:24:15.040 --> 00:24:17.040
stroke after stroke.
00:24:17.040 --> 00:24:18.270
And then he absorbed it all
00:24:18.270 --> 00:24:20.060
in himself,
00:24:20.060 --> 00:24:21.050

- announcer: In his new book,
00:25:03.230 --> 00:25:04.230
"The Prayer of Protection,"
00:25:04.230 --> 00:25:05.280
Joseph Prince shares
00:25:05.280 --> 00:25:07.140
how God has already given
00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:09.000
believers in Christ the answer
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:10.220
to live protected from
00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:11.290
- Joseph Prince: Imagine living
00:25:15.020 --> 00:25:16.110
without the fear of terror,
00:25:16.110 --> 00:25:18.040
diseases, Zika, Ebola,
00:25:18.040 --> 00:25:20.060
war, and accidents.
00:25:20.060 --> 00:25:21.260
I believe that
00:25:21.260 --> 00:25:22.200
this can be the reality
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:24.030
for the believer today.
00:25:24.030 --> 00:25:25.260
The good news is, as the world
00:25:25.260 --> 00:25:27.060
gets darker, believers in
00:25:27.060 --> 00:25:28.270
the Lord Jesus Christ are
00:25:28.270 --> 00:25:30.090
getting brighter and brighter.
00:25:30.090 --> 00:25:32.050
