Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Don't Lose Heart In The Waiting | January 12, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:09.828
Joseph prince: child of god, don't be discouraged.
00:00:11.830 --> 00:00:15.167
Your healing is coming.
00:00:15.167 --> 00:00:18.036
The manifestation of it, and it's coming speedily.
00:00:18.036 --> 00:00:21.773
Don't give up.
00:00:21.773 --> 00:00:23.108
Female announcer: are you facing a health challenge or battling
00:00:23.108 --> 00:00:24.776
Symptoms in your body today?
00:00:24.776 --> 00:00:26.645
Or perhaps you have a loved one in the hospital right now.
00:00:26.645 --> 00:00:29.848
In today's program, joseph prince will be praying
00:00:29.848 --> 00:00:32.251
For the sick during a time of ministry.
00:00:32.251 --> 00:00:34.987
May you receive a fresh impartation of health
00:00:34.987 --> 00:00:37.556
And wholeness for your situation as you tune in
00:00:37.556 --> 00:00:40.292
And hear from the lord today.
00:00:40.292 --> 00:00:42.794
Male announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
00:00:42.861 --> 00:00:45.297
With today's program.
00:00:45.297 --> 00:00:46.632
Joseph prince: praise the lord, let us all stand to our feet.
00:00:46.632 --> 00:00:48.901
So good to see so many of you.
00:00:52.571 --> 00:00:54.940
Thanks for taking time to seek the lord's face, amen.
00:00:54.940 --> 00:01:02.714
There's something about worship that reminds us
00:01:02.714 --> 00:01:06.018
That god is sovereign.
00:01:06.018 --> 00:01:10.989
"that he rules in all the affairs of man.
00:01:10.989 --> 00:01:14.092
That he puts up one and puts down another.
00:01:14.092 --> 00:01:19.364
Promotion doesn't come from the east or from the west,"
00:01:19.364 --> 00:01:24.903
But, notice, it doesn't say, "it doesn't come from the north"
00:01:24.903 --> 00:01:27.272
Because it does.
00:01:27.272 --> 00:01:28.707
"promotion comes from the lord," amen.
00:01:28.707 --> 00:01:31.977
So, just lay aside your worries and cares,
00:01:31.977 --> 00:01:35.314
And just look to the lord.
00:01:35.314 --> 00:01:37.516
And say, "lord, i'm seeking you, lord.
00:01:37.516 --> 00:01:40.786
I love you, lord."

Joseph prince: father, release right now your healing,
00:05:48.467 --> 00:05:52.671
Lord, by the power of your holy spirit, lord.
00:05:52.671 --> 00:05:58.076
For everyone that have a need of your touch, right now touch.
00:05:58.076 --> 00:06:02.047
In jesus's name.
00:06:02.047 --> 00:06:03.849
Heal, heal, heal in jesus's name.
00:06:03.849 --> 00:06:10.555
[speaking in tongues]
00:06:10.555 --> 00:06:16.728
You don't have to have hands touch.
00:06:16.728 --> 00:06:19.464
Only the hand that matters is right now his hand.
00:06:19.464 --> 00:06:26.137
And he can touch you right where you are.
00:06:26.137 --> 00:06:31.009
In the name of jesus, receive your healing right now.
00:06:31.009 --> 00:06:33.512
Somebody has been experiencing pains in your chest.
00:06:33.512 --> 00:06:37.315
This past few days, you've been very concerned and worried.
00:06:37.315 --> 00:06:39.885
Right now, in the name of the lord jesus christ,
00:06:39.885 --> 00:06:42.420
I rebuke that pain and i command perfect healing
00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:46.157
To flow into your chest right now,
00:06:46.157 --> 00:06:49.060
Into your heart, into your body in jesus's name,
00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:51.696
Amen, amen.
00:06:51.696 --> 00:06:53.431
Thank you, lord. thank you, lord.
00:06:53.431 --> 00:06:55.834
Rashes, all kinds of rashes breaking out in your body
00:06:55.834 --> 00:06:59.271
And you do not know what's going on,
00:06:59.271 --> 00:07:00.839
The lord heals you right now in jesus's name,
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.808
Amen, amen, amen.
00:07:03.808 --> 00:07:05.377
You're feeling warmth all over.
00:07:05.377 --> 00:07:07.579
You're feeling--yes, lord, thank you, lord.
00:07:07.579 --> 00:07:10.115
Somebody injured your finger, one of your finger
00:07:10.115 --> 00:07:13.652
And you find it hard to straighten it.
00:07:13.652 --> 00:07:16.121
Straighten your finger right now.
00:07:16.121 --> 00:07:17.722
Start doing what you cannot do.
00:07:17.722 --> 00:07:20.258
If you have pain in that area, you can't move that area,
00:07:20.258 --> 00:07:23.595
It was in pain,
00:07:23.595 --> 00:07:24.930
Just move it right now in the presence of the lord.
00:07:24.930 --> 00:07:26.998
Receive your miracle, receive your healing right now
00:07:26.998 --> 00:07:29.668
In jesus's name.
00:07:29.668 --> 00:07:31.469
Somebody injured your left hand
00:07:31.469 --> 00:07:34.039
And you can't lift your hand all the way up.
00:07:34.039 --> 00:07:35.674
Lift your hand right now in jesus's name
00:07:35.674 --> 00:07:38.009
And see what the lord has done, amen, amen.
00:07:38.009 --> 00:07:40.478
Do it right now in jesus's name.
00:07:40.478 --> 00:07:42.447
Thank you, lord jesus. thank you, lord jesus.
00:07:42.447 --> 00:07:45.884
We give you worship, lord.
00:07:45.884 --> 00:07:48.853
We adore you, lord.
00:07:48.853 --> 00:07:50.188
Thank you, lord jesus. thank you, lord.
00:07:50.188 --> 00:07:52.023
Amen, amen, amen.
00:07:52.023 --> 00:07:54.092
The lord is not finished yet.
00:07:54.092 --> 00:07:55.860
If you have been diagnosed with something,
00:07:55.860 --> 00:07:57.662
The lord can just heal you where you are,
00:07:57.662 --> 00:08:00.131
Even as the word goes forth, amen.
00:08:00.131 --> 00:08:02.467
Praise the lord.
00:08:02.467 --> 00:08:04.002
Female announcer: if you or a loved one are struggling
00:08:04.002 --> 00:08:05.904
With pain, sickness, or a negative doctor's report,
00:08:05.904 --> 00:08:09.140
Don't be discouraged.
00:08:09.140 --> 00:08:10.508
Healing is coming your way.
00:08:10.508 --> 00:08:12.243

Joseph prince: the number one image that we have of god.
00:08:33.832 --> 00:08:36.768
God can be a fortress, a stronghold, a tower.
00:08:36.768 --> 00:08:42.807
But the number one image of god is that of a shepherd.
00:08:42.807 --> 00:08:49.381
David knew the lord as that before he was even a king, amen.
00:08:49.381 --> 00:08:55.253
He gives you leadership--sorry, a leadership spirit
00:08:55.253 --> 00:09:01.393
As well as even the skill that you need, amen?
00:09:01.393 --> 00:09:03.962
So, for the past few weeks,
00:09:03.962 --> 00:09:05.497
The lord has been teaching us a lot on healing.
00:09:05.497 --> 00:09:08.233
I've prayed and i've pressed through asking the lord.
00:09:08.233 --> 00:09:11.870
Okay, when i say press through,
00:09:11.870 --> 00:09:13.204
It's not as if god needs that kind of persuasion.
00:09:13.204 --> 00:09:15.340
But i say, "i press through" for my own sake
00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:17.208
Because there are barriers on my mind.
00:09:17.208 --> 00:09:19.744
There are wrong believing that i have to press through.
00:09:19.744 --> 00:09:23.248
You understand that?
00:09:23.248 --> 00:09:24.949
God is always willing to share.
00:09:24.949 --> 00:09:27.052
And i've asked god, "unveil to me the secrets of healing."
00:09:27.052 --> 00:09:30.822
Because i see people struggling still.
00:09:30.822 --> 00:09:32.857
I still see myself struggling in some areas.
00:09:32.857 --> 00:09:36.361
There are past--the pastors are not perfect, amen?
00:09:36.361 --> 00:09:39.964
So, we are people who are learning just like you.
00:09:39.964 --> 00:09:43.401
But how many are not satisfied with where you are?
00:09:43.401 --> 00:09:47.372
It's not about doing something more,
00:09:47.372 --> 00:09:49.207
"god, show me what i can do."
00:09:49.207 --> 00:09:50.575
Even though we pray a lot, what can we do, okay?
00:09:50.575 --> 00:09:52.977
But the thing is that it's about seeing more, people.
00:09:52.977 --> 00:09:55.947
It's not about doing more.
00:09:55.947 --> 00:09:57.649
It's about seeing more.
00:09:57.649 --> 00:09:59.284
First of all, you need to have images from the bible.
00:09:59.284 --> 00:10:03.054
Can i have a good amen.
00:10:03.054 --> 00:10:04.389
Let's look at 1 peter, "who his own self bare our sins
00:10:04.389 --> 00:10:06.925
In his own body on the tree."
00:10:06.925 --> 00:10:08.259
Now, i love this because the first thing you need to know
00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:10.395
Is the person of jesus.
00:10:10.395 --> 00:10:12.731
Have you noticed that whenever the bible
00:10:12.731 --> 00:10:14.132
Talks about jesus carrying our sins or our diseases,
00:10:14.132 --> 00:10:18.403
Because he carried both our sins and our diseases, amen.
00:10:18.403 --> 00:10:21.439
In isaiah 53, "surely he has borne our diseases," our choli,
00:10:21.439 --> 00:10:26.578
"and carried our makov," all right, our pains in hebrew.
00:10:26.578 --> 00:10:31.483
Notice, it says, "surely he."
00:10:31.483 --> 00:10:33.351
And the emphasis is not on the work, but on the person.
00:10:33.351 --> 00:10:37.822
"surely he bore our diseases and carried our pains."
00:10:37.822 --> 00:10:42.961
Matthew 8, verse 17, quoting isaiah, says,
00:10:42.961 --> 00:10:46.598
"himself" the person, "himself took our infirmities
00:10:46.598 --> 00:10:51.936
And bore our sicknesses."
00:10:51.936 --> 00:10:53.872
Have you had a child who was just, you know,
00:10:53.872 --> 00:10:57.142
Crying because of a viral attack or some sort of pain
00:10:57.142 --> 00:11:02.380
That the child is going through
00:11:02.380 --> 00:11:03.715
And it's someone you really love with all your heart
00:11:03.715 --> 00:11:06.151
And you are there, you feel helpless?
00:11:06.151 --> 00:11:09.487
Mothers, were there ever times that you felt like,
00:11:09.487 --> 00:11:13.124
"if i can take this pain on myself, i would do it.
00:11:13.124 --> 00:11:17.629
If i can take this fever on myself, i would do it"?
00:11:17.629 --> 00:11:20.565
Well, jesus had love for you
00:11:20.565 --> 00:11:24.402
Like what a mother would have but exceeds that.
00:11:24.402 --> 00:11:28.306
That himself took our infirmities
00:11:28.306 --> 00:11:32.677
And bore our diseases.
00:11:32.677 --> 00:11:34.312
We need to know that because the emphasis is himself.
00:11:34.312 --> 00:11:37.148
It's not so much the work.
00:11:37.148 --> 00:11:38.583
We all want healing, we focus on the work.
00:11:38.583 --> 00:11:40.752
But the person gives value to the work.
00:11:40.752 --> 00:11:45.456
When you have the person, you have the value of the work.
00:11:45.456 --> 00:11:48.526
Can i have a good amen?
00:11:48.526 --> 00:11:50.028
Like, for example, 1 peter 2 says,
00:11:50.028 --> 00:11:51.462
"if any man sin, we have an advocate with the father.
00:11:51.462 --> 00:11:55.233
And he is the propitiation for our sins."
00:11:55.233 --> 00:11:58.102
It does not say, like some people say,
00:11:58.102 --> 00:12:00.371
"jesus makes propitiation for our sins."
00:12:00.371 --> 00:12:02.640
Doesn't say "he makes."
00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:04.776
He's like someone there to do things for us, amen.
00:12:04.776 --> 00:12:08.680
No, he is the propitiation for our sins.
00:12:08.680 --> 00:12:13.952
It's 1 john 2.
00:12:13.952 --> 00:12:15.386
He is the propitiation for our sins.
00:12:15.386 --> 00:12:17.622
And down here, notice the emphasis, "who his own self."
00:12:17.622 --> 00:12:23.661
It wasn't an angel, it wasn't a prophet,
00:12:23.661 --> 00:12:25.864
It wasn't somebody else.
00:12:25.864 --> 00:12:27.198
"who his own self."
00:12:27.198 --> 00:12:28.533
I pray that you see the heart of the holy spirit.
00:12:28.533 --> 00:12:31.269
And let me illustrate.
00:12:31.269 --> 00:12:32.704
The person carries the benefits of the work.
00:12:32.704 --> 00:12:35.039
Let's say you're studying to be a doctor, okay?
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.008
And what happens when you go-- you walk to the hospitals,
00:12:37.008 --> 00:12:40.745
You know, when you can be out with your friends but you walk--
00:12:40.745 --> 00:12:43.848
You know, you spend so many hours walking to the hospitals
00:12:43.848 --> 00:12:48.052
While you are an apprentice and while you are learning,
00:12:48.052 --> 00:12:51.890
You know, as a stu-- medical student
00:12:51.890 --> 00:12:54.125
And you do a lot of thesis, a lot of homework.
00:12:54.125 --> 00:12:56.594
You do all the kind of things.
00:12:56.594 --> 00:12:58.296
And down--after a few years,
00:12:58.296 --> 00:12:59.964
You're a full-fledged medical doctor.
00:12:59.964 --> 00:13:03.768
Now, how can we take advantage of all that you have learned?
00:13:03.768 --> 00:13:07.538
How?
00:13:07.538 --> 00:13:09.641
How can we take advantage of all your work?
00:13:09.641 --> 00:13:11.809
All your thesis that you have passed or you have excellent
00:13:11.809 --> 00:13:15.980
Credentials and all that, how can we take advantage of that?
00:13:15.980 --> 00:13:18.583
How can i take advantage of that?
00:13:18.583 --> 00:13:20.118
I go to you.
00:13:20.118 --> 00:13:21.953
When i go to you, you have all the benefits of all your work.
00:13:21.953 --> 00:13:26.791
I don't have to know your work.
00:13:26.791 --> 00:13:28.226
I just have to go to you.
00:13:28.226 --> 00:13:30.395
Can i have a good amen?
00:13:30.395 --> 00:13:31.930
You carry all the benefits of the work.
00:13:31.930 --> 00:13:34.198
Hence the holy spirit emphasizes the person and not the work.
00:13:34.198 --> 00:13:38.069
I remember years ago when my daughter
00:13:38.069 --> 00:13:39.771
Was down with viral fever
00:13:39.771 --> 00:13:42.407
And the doctor says it's a virus.
00:13:42.407 --> 00:13:44.175
So, we, you know, just take your--it will take its course
00:13:44.175 --> 00:13:46.544
For either seven days or, at the most, one week.
00:13:46.544 --> 00:13:50.515
It's the same, okay?
00:13:50.515 --> 00:13:53.685
And then i remember jessica was crying.
00:13:53.685 --> 00:13:56.621
Her little cherubic face and her little dimples,
00:13:56.621 --> 00:13:59.257
Like the mother's, all right, she was crying, crying.
00:13:59.257 --> 00:14:01.826
And i looked at her and there's nothing we can do.
00:14:01.826 --> 00:14:04.862
And i remember, i'd go over her cot, and i look at her,
00:14:04.862 --> 00:14:09.734
And i started singing over her because i'm helpless.
00:14:09.734 --> 00:14:13.938
I prayed, all right, i took communion, you know,
00:14:13.938 --> 00:14:17.308
And we can turn communion into a formula.
00:14:17.308 --> 00:14:20.144
At last, i just looked to the lord.
00:14:20.144 --> 00:14:22.413
And i know the lord never leaves me nor forsake me.
00:14:22.413 --> 00:14:25.116
But there's something called manifest presence, the glory
00:14:25.116 --> 00:14:29.554
That i needed in this moment because daddy was just helpless.
00:14:29.554 --> 00:14:33.791
So, i was crying, you know, like when she cries,
00:14:33.791 --> 00:14:35.760
I just had tears rolling down.
00:14:35.760 --> 00:14:37.495
And what can i do, lord?
00:14:37.495 --> 00:14:39.530
So, i started singing.
00:14:39.530 --> 00:14:41.199
♪ you are the lord that healeth her ♪
00:14:41.199 --> 00:14:46.404
♪ you are the lord her healer ♪
00:14:46.404 --> 00:14:49.040
[imitates baby crying]
00:14:49.040 --> 00:14:52.110
♪ you send your word and heal all her disease ♪
00:14:52.110 --> 00:14:56.814
♪ you are the lord her healer ♪
00:14:56.814 --> 00:15:00.885
♪ you are the lord ♪
00:15:00.885 --> 00:15:02.253
Joseph prince: and i sang it over and over again.
00:15:02.253 --> 00:15:04.022
♪ in your presence, in your presence ♪
00:15:04.022 --> 00:15:07.058
♪ there is peace ♪
00:15:07.058 --> 00:15:08.493
Joseph prince: and the more i sang,
00:15:08.493 --> 00:15:09.861
The more i took my eyes off my daughter,
00:15:09.861 --> 00:15:11.629
Which i was absorbed with her, her pain, her afflictions,
00:15:11.629 --> 00:15:15.033
Her crying, and i started getting focused on the lord.
00:15:15.033 --> 00:15:20.071
I started seeing his power, his glory.
00:15:20.071 --> 00:15:21.973
The more i sang,
00:15:21.973 --> 00:15:23.408
The more i saw his love, his grace.
00:15:23.408 --> 00:15:27.545
See, singing and praising the lord doesn't benefit him.
00:15:27.545 --> 00:15:29.714
When we say, "magnify the lord," he's already magnified.
00:15:29.714 --> 00:15:32.316
You are magnifying the lord to yourself.
00:15:32.316 --> 00:15:35.119
You are enlarging the consciousness of god.
00:15:35.119 --> 00:15:38.089
And we all need to be in that place.
00:15:38.089 --> 00:15:39.824
How many understand that?
00:15:39.824 --> 00:15:41.426
Someone will say, "pastor prince,
00:15:41.426 --> 00:15:42.994
Are you saying that god is not there
00:15:42.994 --> 00:15:44.362
Until you start singing and all that?"
00:15:44.362 --> 00:15:45.696
No, no, i'm not saying that.
00:15:45.696 --> 00:15:47.031
I'm saying i needed to break through my smallness, amen?
00:15:47.031 --> 00:15:49.700
I need to see the lord and not my daughter's affliction.
00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:52.136
His greatness, his love must be greater than what's going on,
00:15:52.136 --> 00:15:56.074
Than what the devil is doing.
00:15:56.074 --> 00:15:58.009
Can i have a good amen?
00:15:58.009 --> 00:15:59.377
And i sang and sang and i felt his tangible presence.
00:15:59.377 --> 00:16:01.879
You know something?
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:03.314
Wendy was bathing.
00:16:03.314 --> 00:16:04.849
She was, you know, washing up and all that in the room.
00:16:04.849 --> 00:16:07.118
When she came out, the-- she was healed.
00:16:07.118 --> 00:16:10.721
She took her temperature, the fever broke, all right?
00:16:10.721 --> 00:16:13.357
Now, there's one instance i remember how that i could not do
00:16:13.357 --> 00:16:17.361
Anything and just have the person in the room.
00:16:17.361 --> 00:16:22.166
Worship the person.
00:16:22.166 --> 00:16:23.801
All the benefits of the work comes with the person.
00:16:23.801 --> 00:16:26.904
Can i have a good amen?
00:16:26.904 --> 00:16:28.773
Now, the 1 peter 2:24 says, "who his own self bare our sins."
00:16:28.773 --> 00:16:33.311
I hope that you see this by now.
00:16:33.311 --> 00:16:35.012
And by the way, the rapture, when it comes again,
00:16:35.012 --> 00:16:36.948
"the lord himself shall descend."
00:16:36.948 --> 00:16:40.551
The lord himself shall descend, amen?
00:16:40.551 --> 00:16:42.987
We are looking for him.
00:16:42.987 --> 00:16:44.622
We are not looking for gabriel, or michael the archangel.
00:16:44.622 --> 00:16:47.058
We're looking for him, amen?
00:16:47.058 --> 00:16:49.327
We're not looking for all the saints that have gone on before.
00:16:49.327 --> 00:16:50.995
It would be nice to meet up with smith wigglesworth and all that,
00:16:50.995 --> 00:16:54.232
Some heroes of faith.
00:16:54.232 --> 00:16:55.833
But we are looking for himself, amen, people?
00:16:55.833 --> 00:16:58.870
"who his own self bear our sins in his own body on the tree,
00:16:58.870 --> 00:17:01.239
That we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness."
00:17:01.239 --> 00:17:04.509
Righteousness here is a noun, not a verb.
00:17:04.509 --> 00:17:06.811
A lot of people when they read this, they think that sh--
00:17:06.811 --> 00:17:08.713
We stop doing sin and we start doing right things.
00:17:08.713 --> 00:17:11.782
It's not saying that.
00:17:11.782 --> 00:17:13.117
It's saying, "you're dead to sins."
00:17:13.117 --> 00:17:14.719
It's a done deal.
00:17:14.719 --> 00:17:16.187
"should live unto righteousness."
00:17:16.187 --> 00:17:18.156
Which means what?
00:17:18.156 --> 00:17:19.590
Believe you are righteous.
00:17:19.590 --> 00:17:20.992
You are the righteousness of god in christ.
00:17:20.992 --> 00:17:22.727
Live into that, amen?
00:17:22.727 --> 00:17:25.630
Live in that new identity.
00:17:25.630 --> 00:17:27.532
And then it puts a colon.
00:17:27.532 --> 00:17:28.966
Can you see a colon there?
00:17:28.966 --> 00:17:30.368
"by whose stripes you were healed."
00:17:30.368 --> 00:17:31.802
Now, if you study punctuation, you will learn that you put a
00:17:31.802 --> 00:17:34.605
Colon there to, listen, to either share something
00:17:34.605 --> 00:17:38.442
You want to emphasize.
00:17:38.442 --> 00:17:39.844
You're saying something and you want to emphasize it,
00:17:39.844 --> 00:17:41.412
You put a colon and then you emphasize it.
00:17:41.412 --> 00:17:43.347
So, whatever follows, you emphasize.
00:17:43.347 --> 00:17:44.849
Another thing is that, whatever follows the colon, all right,
00:17:44.849 --> 00:17:47.685
Will translate, or give meaning, to what goes before.
00:17:47.685 --> 00:17:51.522
In other words, because you are living as a righteous person,
00:17:51.522 --> 00:17:55.960
Not your behavior, your new identity, you are now saying,
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:59.864
"i am the righteousness of god in christ,"
00:17:59.864 --> 00:18:01.632
You walk in righteousness consciousness, now,
00:18:01.632 --> 00:18:04.602
"by whose stripes you were healed" is yours.
00:18:04.602 --> 00:18:08.372
And that's why there's a colon, okay?
00:18:08.372 --> 00:18:09.941
Watch this now, "for ye were as sheep going astray;
00:18:09.941 --> 00:18:12.710
But are now returned unto the shepherd and bishop
00:18:12.710 --> 00:18:15.379
Of your souls," right?
00:18:15.379 --> 00:18:17.915
Remember, this quotation is from isaiah 53,
00:18:17.915 --> 00:18:20.751
But isaiah has a negative picture there.
00:18:20.751 --> 00:18:23.521
"all we like sheep have gone astray and the lord put on him
00:18:23.521 --> 00:18:26.958
The iniquity of us all," right?
00:18:26.958 --> 00:18:30.228
But here it says, "we are no more going astray.
00:18:30.228 --> 00:18:33.764
We are now returned unto the shepherd
00:18:33.764 --> 00:18:36.267
And bishop of your souls."
00:18:36.267 --> 00:18:39.370
And, please, don't turn this into,
00:18:39.370 --> 00:18:40.972
"you must return," an active voice.
00:18:40.972 --> 00:18:43.975
No, this is in the passive voice in the greek.
00:18:43.975 --> 00:18:47.144
You have now been returned.
00:18:47.144 --> 00:18:48.879
Somebody returned you.
00:18:48.879 --> 00:18:51.182
Who is it?
00:18:51.182 --> 00:18:52.683
The holy spirit.
00:18:52.683 --> 00:18:54.051
"you are now returned unto the shepherd."
00:18:54.051 --> 00:18:55.786
Notice the word, "shepherd," amen?
00:18:55.786 --> 00:18:57.855
We are no more sheep going astray.
00:18:57.855 --> 00:19:00.024
We are now sheep in the flock.
00:19:00.024 --> 00:19:02.426
Sheep taken care of, hallelujah?
00:19:02.426 --> 00:19:05.529
"for you were as sheep going astray;
00:19:05.529 --> 00:19:07.298
But you are now returned unto the shepherd
00:19:07.298 --> 00:19:09.967
And bishop of your souls."
00:19:09.967 --> 00:19:11.969
Can i have a good amen?
00:19:11.969 --> 00:19:13.537
So, there's the difference in isaiah 53
00:19:13.537 --> 00:19:16.007
And now that christ has finished the work.
00:19:16.007 --> 00:19:18.009
Another thing that's different is this, very interesting.
00:19:18.009 --> 00:19:20.544
In isaiah, it says that, "by his chaburah,"
00:19:20.544 --> 00:19:24.582
By his stripes, "we are healed."
00:19:24.582 --> 00:19:27.184
And over there, you find the plural,
00:19:27.184 --> 00:19:30.354
"by whose stripes you were healed."
00:19:30.354 --> 00:19:32.356
But what happened to jesus and his idea of the--
00:19:32.356 --> 00:19:38.663
In hebrew, when something is so violent and done,
00:19:38.663 --> 00:19:41.332
They use the plural word, amen?
00:19:41.332 --> 00:19:46.070
Like someone died a violent death, they use the word
00:19:46.070 --> 00:19:47.805
"deaths" with an s in hebrew.
00:19:47.805 --> 00:19:51.375
You understand that?
00:19:51.375 --> 00:19:52.843
Like water is abundant, "mayim" is plural.
00:19:52.843 --> 00:19:56.113
Can i have a good amen?
00:19:56.113 --> 00:19:57.648
All right, so, "by his stripes."
00:19:57.648 --> 00:19:59.817
We think there are many stripes.
00:19:59.817 --> 00:20:01.452
Yes, it includes many stripes.
00:20:01.452 --> 00:20:02.787
But over here, in the greek, it says, "who his own self," okay,
00:20:02.787 --> 00:20:05.690
"by whose stripes."
00:20:05.690 --> 00:20:07.091
The word "stripe" there should not be s.
00:20:07.091 --> 00:20:09.060
It is, "by whose stripe you were healed."
00:20:09.060 --> 00:20:11.996
Now, t.j. mccrossan, a greek scholar says this,
00:20:11.996 --> 00:20:15.066
That, "if the word 'stripe' is used in a singular way,
00:20:15.066 --> 00:20:20.171
That means knowing that he received many stripes,
00:20:20.171 --> 00:20:23.407
All right, in isaiah 53, that means what jesus received,
00:20:23.407 --> 00:20:26.577
There's not even a sliver of skin left."
00:20:26.577 --> 00:20:29.714
If there's a sliver of skin left, it cannot be--
00:20:29.714 --> 00:20:33.351
The singular cannot be used.
00:20:33.351 --> 00:20:35.419
It must be stripes.
00:20:35.419 --> 00:20:37.088
But in the greek, the greek is very accurate.
00:20:37.088 --> 00:20:39.056
That means his whole back is one big hole.
00:20:39.056 --> 00:20:42.426
There's not even a sliver of skin left.
00:20:42.426 --> 00:20:44.929
Now, when i meditated on this, i felt that people will not,
00:20:44.929 --> 00:20:49.400
You know, take it lightly.
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:50.868
So, i'm going to show you once again, right,
00:20:50.868 --> 00:20:53.170
How by his stripes, you were healed.
00:20:53.170 --> 00:20:55.306
Now this is 40 at minus 1, which is 39 stripes.
00:20:55.306 --> 00:20:59.110
But in the roman culture, it's also proven they beat people
00:20:59.110 --> 00:21:05.983
39 to 40 times, okay?
00:21:05.983 --> 00:21:08.652
So, the thing is this, the jewish beating is different.
00:21:08.652 --> 00:21:12.390
Their 40 times is using a leather tong, okay?
00:21:12.390 --> 00:21:17.261
But the romans used something called cat-o-nine tails
00:21:17.261 --> 00:21:21.065
Where they have jagged, rusty nails, and crushed glass
00:21:21.065 --> 00:21:26.337
And different sort of things.
00:21:26.337 --> 00:21:28.005
And that's only one of its tendrils.
00:21:28.005 --> 00:21:30.207
You know, it has many, many, many, what do you call that?
00:21:30.207 --> 00:21:32.877
Like an octopus, right?
00:21:32.877 --> 00:21:34.378
A lot of hands and it's all embedded with this jagged,
00:21:34.378 --> 00:21:39.550
Rusty nails, and sharp objects.
00:21:39.550 --> 00:21:43.287
So, one stroke, you have many lines behind you.
00:21:43.287 --> 00:21:46.957
So, for the greek to use that, "by his stripe," singular,
00:21:46.957 --> 00:21:51.529
It must have happened like this.
00:21:51.529 --> 00:21:53.197
Watch, see if it's possible.
00:21:53.197 --> 00:21:55.032
[whip cracking]
00:21:56.534 --> 00:22:04.041
Joseph prince: we still see sliver of skin, don't we?
00:22:04.041 --> 00:22:07.645
Okay, we're gonna go faster.
00:22:07.645 --> 00:22:10.247
[whip cracking]
00:22:10.247 --> 00:22:29.333
Joseph prince: back again.
00:22:20.257 --> 00:22:31.969
[whip cracking]
00:22:31.969 --> 00:22:36.373
Joseph prince: "by his stripes, you are healed."
00:22:36.373 --> 00:22:41.712
Not a sliver of skin left.
00:22:41.712 --> 00:22:45.282
Do you know why he went through that?
00:22:45.282 --> 00:22:47.485
Because he loves you.
00:22:47.485 --> 00:22:49.553
People, you are loved.
00:22:49.553 --> 00:22:52.223
He loves you so much, amen, that he went through that scourging
00:22:52.223 --> 00:22:56.861
That, "by his stripe, you are healed," amen?
00:22:56.861 --> 00:23:00.498
And i use the singular because that's how it's in the greek,
00:23:00.498 --> 00:23:02.900
"by his stripe, you are healed."
00:23:02.900 --> 00:23:05.503
And that means not a sliver of skin left, hallelujah.
00:23:05.503 --> 00:23:10.174
Child of god, don't be discouraged, okay?
00:23:10.174 --> 00:23:13.978
Your healing is coming.
00:23:13.978 --> 00:23:16.780
The manifestation of it.
00:23:16.780 --> 00:23:18.516
And it's coming speedily.
00:23:18.516 --> 00:23:20.584
Don't give up.
00:23:20.584 --> 00:23:21.919
Give praise to god, amen?
00:23:21.919 --> 00:23:23.254
Has this blessed you?
00:23:23.254 --> 00:23:24.588
Praise the lord.
