- A practical guide to the holy communion."
- 00:01:08.077 --> 00:01:10.680
- Joseph prince: why did god put "feeding," "bread,"
- 00:01:12.715 --> 00:01:16.019
- And "fighting" as the same word, why?
- 00:01:16.019 --> 00:01:18.988
- Write this down somewhere: when you feed, you fight.
- 00:01:18.988 --> 00:01:23.259
- Feeding is fighting the enemy.
- 00:01:23.259 --> 00:01:27.163
- We don't fight by fighting. we fight by eating.
- 00:01:27.163 --> 00:01:31.134
- We eat god's word, and the dev-- enemy is defeated.
- 00:01:31.134 --> 00:01:34.370
- That's what you're doing right now in church, people:
- 00:01:34.370 --> 00:01:36.573
- You are feeding.
- 00:01:36.573 --> 00:01:38.374
- And as you are feeding, when you go back,
- 00:01:38.374 --> 00:01:40.944
- You find the enemy is defeated, halle--
- 00:01:40.944 --> 00:01:43.346

- 00:02:43.873 --> 00:02:46.542
- With today's program.
- 00:02:46.542 --> 00:02:47.910
- Joseph prince: god is the maker of good days.
- 00:02:47.910 --> 00:02:52.148
- You know, the bible says that "he that will love life
- 00:02:52.148 --> 00:02:55.952
- And see good days,"
- 00:02:55.952 --> 00:02:58.421
- And "good days" is always plural.
- 00:02:58.421 --> 00:02:59.822
- "good days" with an s.
- 00:02:59.822 --> 00:03:02.659
- But when it comes to the day that you go through a trial,
- 00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:05.161
- Maybe some of you are in the midst of a trial
- 00:03:05.161 --> 00:03:06.629
- Right now, the bible uses the word
- 00:03:06.629 --> 00:03:09.299
- "stand therefore in the evil day"--
- 00:03:09.299 --> 00:03:13.069
- And there's no s, singular--
- 00:03:13.069 --> 00:03:14.904
- Which means your good days are plentiful;
- 00:03:14.904 --> 00:03:18.574
- Your evil day is far in between.
- 00:03:18.574 --> 00:03:24.013
- All right, there is something about us.
- 00:03:24.013 --> 00:03:26.082
- We all are naturally inclined to the visible,
- 00:03:26.082 --> 00:03:32.522
- To the palpable, that which can be touched,
- 00:03:32.522 --> 00:03:37.460
- That our five senses can take in,
- 00:03:37.460 --> 00:03:39.929
- And that's why the people of god wanted a golden calf.
- 00:03:39.929 --> 00:03:45.335
- They want something they can touch and feel.
- 00:03:45.335 --> 00:03:46.969
- When god says to israel, "i'll be your king,"
- 00:03:46.969 --> 00:03:49.072
- They said, "no, no, we wanna be like other nations.
- 00:03:49.072 --> 00:03:50.973
- They have a king they can see."
- 00:03:50.973 --> 00:03:52.842
- God says, "i'll be your king."
- 00:03:52.842 --> 00:03:54.210
- "but you are invisible. we want visible," you know?
- 00:03:54.210 --> 00:03:56.312
- It's our flesh.
- 00:03:56.312 --> 00:03:57.647
- Our flesh craves for that which is visible,
- 00:03:57.647 --> 00:04:00.183
- For that which is palpable,
- 00:04:00.183 --> 00:04:01.718
- For that which is something they can touch, you know?
- 00:04:01.718 --> 00:04:06.522
- But god lives in the invisible realm.
- 00:04:06.522 --> 00:04:09.025
- So the bible says in 2 corinthians 4
- 00:04:09.025 --> 00:04:11.561
- That "our light affliction"--
- 00:04:11.561 --> 00:04:13.296
- Whatever you're going through right now,
- 00:04:13.296 --> 00:04:15.164
- God calls it "light affliction"--
- 00:04:15.164 --> 00:04:17.400
- "which is but for us-- but which is but for a moment."
- 00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:20.636
- Whatever difficulties you are going through,
- 00:04:20.636 --> 00:04:22.905
- It is only for a moment.
- 00:04:22.905 --> 00:04:25.208
- I said it is only for a moment.
- 00:04:25.208 --> 00:04:27.877
- But "it's working for us," what? "it's working for us."
- 00:04:27.877 --> 00:04:30.513
- This is for people who are going through difficulties,
- 00:04:30.513 --> 00:04:32.315
- Through afflictions.
- 00:04:32.315 --> 00:04:33.649
- "it is working for you
- 00:04:33.649 --> 00:04:35.318
- A far more exceeding and eternal,"
- 00:04:35.318 --> 00:04:39.989
- Not temporary, "eternal"-- permanent, not for a while--
- 00:04:39.989 --> 00:04:45.328
- "weight of glory."
- 00:04:45.328 --> 00:04:46.829
- Whoo, weight of glory. i said weight of glory.
- 00:04:46.829 --> 00:04:51.667
- Does that mean that everybody who goes through trouble,
- 00:04:51.667 --> 00:04:53.636
- They have these blessings?
- 00:04:53.636 --> 00:04:54.971
- No.
- 00:04:54.971 --> 00:04:56.305
- It goes on to say, "while we do not look
- 00:04:56.305 --> 00:04:59.409
- At the things which are seen," visible,
- 00:04:59.409 --> 00:05:03.146
- "but at the things which are not seen," invisible.
- 00:05:03.146 --> 00:05:06.983
- So, all these blessings and your trouble works for you
- 00:05:06.983 --> 00:05:10.753
- When your eye is on the invisible,
- 00:05:10.753 --> 00:05:13.256
- Not on the visible, on the unseen and not the seen.
- 00:05:13.256 --> 00:05:16.826
- "for the things which are seen," visible, "are temporary."
- 00:05:16.826 --> 00:05:20.029
- Say, "temporary."
- 00:05:20.029 --> 00:05:22.231
- The doctors give you a--your x-ray.
- 00:05:22.231 --> 00:05:24.400
- Say, "there's a black dot here."
- 00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:25.768
- Can you see it? temporary.
- 00:05:25.768 --> 00:05:29.105
- Amen? amen.
- 00:05:29.105 --> 00:05:32.008
- All right, whatever it is in this world--
- 00:05:32.008 --> 00:05:34.110
- Look at my wallet: nothing.
- 00:05:34.110 --> 00:05:35.445
- Look at my bank account: available balance, nothing.
- 00:05:35.445 --> 00:05:37.847
- What is that? can you see it?
- 00:05:37.847 --> 00:05:39.248
- Yes, nothing. i can see nothing.
- 00:05:39.248 --> 00:05:41.617
- Temporary, amen?
- 00:05:41.617 --> 00:05:46.255
- So, you tell your friend, "see, ugly or not?"
- 00:05:46.255 --> 00:05:48.291
- "yeah, you're quite ugly."
- 00:05:48.291 --> 00:05:49.625
- Temporary. you can see it.
- 00:05:49.625 --> 00:05:51.661
- Good news. temporary, amen?
- 00:05:51.661 --> 00:05:54.464
- So in god's economy of things, the way god sees things,
- 00:05:54.464 --> 00:05:57.467
- You know, everything in this life that is invisible,
- 00:05:57.467 --> 00:05:59.902
- That is unseen,
- 00:05:59.902 --> 00:06:01.237
- The things which are seen are temporary,
- 00:06:01.237 --> 00:06:02.572
- But the things which are not seen, unseen,
- 00:06:02.572 --> 00:06:04.941
- Are eternal.
- 00:06:04.941 --> 00:06:06.976
- Is god seen? no.
- 00:06:06.976 --> 00:06:08.578
- Is god here? yes.
- 00:06:08.578 --> 00:06:10.346
- God is eternal. angels are eternal.
- 00:06:10.346 --> 00:06:15.852
- Blessings are eternal. you cannot see blessings.
- 00:06:15.852 --> 00:06:18.654
- We are blessed with every spiritual blessing
- 00:06:18.654 --> 00:06:21.090
- In heavenly places in christ.
- 00:06:21.090 --> 00:06:22.992
- You can't see it.
- 00:06:22.992 --> 00:06:24.327
- You--what you see are the effects of blessings.
- 00:06:24.327 --> 00:06:28.631
- Someone is prospering.
- 00:06:28.631 --> 00:06:29.966
- Someone's health is being blessed.
- 00:06:29.966 --> 00:06:32.268
- Someone's married life is being blessed.
- 00:06:32.268 --> 00:06:33.669
- The marriage come around.
- 00:06:33.669 --> 00:06:35.004
- Water turns to wine in that marriage.
- 00:06:35.004 --> 00:06:36.339
- You are seeing the effects of the blessing.
- 00:06:36.339 --> 00:06:40.142
- You know, the lord is with you all the time.
- 00:06:40.142 --> 00:06:43.579
- Learn to live in the invisible.
- 00:06:43.579 --> 00:06:46.282
- Learn not to let the devil sway you with the visible.
- 00:06:46.282 --> 00:06:49.018
- He say, "look at this. look at that.
- 00:06:49.018 --> 00:06:50.353
- Look at your lump, how big it's growing," you know?
- 00:06:50.353 --> 00:06:53.155
- And the thing is this: the devil will tell you
- 00:06:53.155 --> 00:06:54.891
- All kinds of things.
- 00:06:54.891 --> 00:06:56.225
- He will tell you, "you see, everything just rhymes
- 00:06:56.225 --> 00:06:58.027
- With this because you're called to this," you know?
- 00:06:58.027 --> 00:07:00.429
- Don't believe the devil.
- 00:07:00.429 --> 00:07:02.064
- He wouldn't tell you-- the worst kind of persuasion
- 00:07:02.064 --> 00:07:04.901
- Is when it's religious:
- 00:07:04.901 --> 00:07:06.235
- "god wants you to suffer.
- 00:07:06.235 --> 00:07:07.937
- God wants you to have this disease
- 00:07:07.937 --> 00:07:10.072
- Or wants your child to suffer this, okay?
- 00:07:10.072 --> 00:07:11.841
- Maybe it's god's will."
- 00:07:11.841 --> 00:07:13.175
- When you start preaching that,
- 00:07:13.175 --> 00:07:14.777
- People start believing that nonsense.
- 00:07:14.777 --> 00:07:16.112
- And yet, behind the scene, you are bringing your child
- 00:07:16.112 --> 00:07:20.416
- To the doctor.
- 00:07:20.416 --> 00:07:21.784
- If you really believe that god wants your child to be sick,
- 00:07:21.784 --> 00:07:24.487
- You have no right to try to get the child healed
- 00:07:24.487 --> 00:07:28.157
- Because according to your admission,
- 00:07:28.157 --> 00:07:30.326
- God wants your child sick.
- 00:07:30.326 --> 00:07:32.628
- No, when it comes to your own family,
- 00:07:32.628 --> 00:07:33.963
- All of a sudden,
- 00:07:33.963 --> 00:07:35.298
- All these silly "doctrines" go down the drain.
- 00:07:35.298 --> 00:07:37.567
- Jesus says, "if you as a earthly father
- 00:07:37.567 --> 00:07:39.735
- Know how to give good things to your children,
- 00:07:39.735 --> 00:07:41.671
- How much more your heavenly father?"
- 00:07:41.671 --> 00:07:43.873
- Please. don't malign god.
- 00:07:43.873 --> 00:07:46.075
- God made you in his image.
- 00:07:46.075 --> 00:07:47.410
- We want the best for our children.
- 00:07:47.410 --> 00:07:49.045
- How much more god?
- 00:07:49.045 --> 00:07:50.379
- You know what pains god? they refused to enter the land.
- 00:07:50.379 --> 00:07:54.150
- So god said this, finally.
- 00:07:54.150 --> 00:07:56.052
- Let's look at hebrews, chapter 3:
- 00:07:56.052 --> 00:07:59.822
- "therefore, as the holy spirit says:
- 00:07:59.822 --> 00:08:01.624
- 'today, if you hear his voice--'"
- 00:08:01.624 --> 00:08:03.359
- Now god's spirit is talking now.
- 00:08:03.359 --> 00:08:05.328
- He's giving us another chance not to make the same mistake
- 00:08:05.328 --> 00:08:07.830
- That the children of israel made, today.
- 00:08:07.830 --> 00:08:09.532
- "'today, if you will hear his voice,
- 00:08:09.532 --> 00:08:11.567
- Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
- 00:08:11.567 --> 00:08:14.103
- In the day of trial in the wilderness,
- 00:08:14.103 --> 00:08:16.606
- Where your fathers tested me, tried me,
- 00:08:16.606 --> 00:08:19.842
- And saw my works forty years.'"
- 00:08:19.842 --> 00:08:23.279
- Look at the word: "my works."
- 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:24.880
- Now, i felt that god should have said, "my judgment."
- 00:08:24.880 --> 00:08:27.316
- But there's a reason why he says, "my works."
- 00:08:27.316 --> 00:08:29.452
- If you don't rest, you're always working.
- 00:08:29.452 --> 00:08:33.589
- You see god's works, god's judgment.
- 00:08:33.589 --> 00:08:35.891
- "therefore i was angry with that generation,
- 00:08:35.891 --> 00:08:38.761
- And said, 'they always go astray in their heart,
- 00:08:38.761 --> 00:08:40.663
- And they have not known my ways.'
- 00:08:40.663 --> 00:08:42.331
- So i swore in my wrath."
- 00:08:42.331 --> 00:08:44.800
- So you have "my works," "my ways."
- 00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:47.003
- What are god's ways?
- 00:08:47.003 --> 00:08:48.537
- Obviously, the ten and the majority
- 00:08:48.537 --> 00:08:50.106
- Of the children of israel missed it.
- 00:08:50.106 --> 00:08:54.210
- Joshua and caleb got it. they got god's ways.
- 00:08:54.210 --> 00:08:58.681
- And what is god's ways? we'll see it presently.
- 00:08:58.681 --> 00:09:01.584
- "so i swore in my wrath, 'they shall not enter my rest.'"
- 00:09:01.584 --> 00:09:07.623
- Many years ago, when i was reading this,
- 00:09:07.623 --> 00:09:09.659
- I said, "wait a minute.
- 00:09:09.659 --> 00:09:10.993
- God should have said, 'they shall not enter my land,'"
- 00:09:10.993 --> 00:09:14.497
- Because the story here is referring
- 00:09:14.497 --> 00:09:15.898
- To kadesh barnea's story.
- 00:09:15.898 --> 00:09:17.533
- What did god say? "my rest."
- 00:09:17.533 --> 00:09:19.301
- Because today it's not a physical land
- 00:09:19.301 --> 00:09:21.137
- For you and i.
- 00:09:21.137 --> 00:09:22.471
- Today, your promised land,
- 00:09:22.471 --> 00:09:24.907
- The land flowing with milk and honey,
- 00:09:24.907 --> 00:09:26.909
- The place where you eat from vineyards you didn't plant,
- 00:09:26.909 --> 00:09:29.912
- From wells you didn't dig is the land of rest.
- 00:09:29.912 --> 00:09:33.849
- It's a place where you come to a rest.
- 00:09:33.849 --> 00:09:35.584
- Even though you don't see the visible yet,
- 00:09:35.584 --> 00:09:37.953
- Even though the healing has not manifest,
- 00:09:37.953 --> 00:09:40.222
- Even though the provision has not yet come,
- 00:09:40.222 --> 00:09:42.324
- Even though the deliverance from addiction
- 00:09:42.324 --> 00:09:44.527
- In your teenage boy has not yet happened,
- 00:09:44.527 --> 00:09:46.996
- You tell god, "god, i thank you i'm at rest
- 00:09:46.996 --> 00:09:50.232
- Because you are fighting this battle."
- 00:09:50.232 --> 00:09:53.269
- You rest. i said, "you rest," okay?
- 00:09:53.269 --> 00:09:57.573
- So god says-- so see the difference
- 00:09:57.573 --> 00:09:59.341
- Between "my wrath," "my rest"?
- 00:09:59.341 --> 00:10:01.077
- "my wrath," "my rest."
- 00:10:01.077 --> 00:10:02.645
- The opposite of god's wrath: rest.
- 00:10:02.645 --> 00:10:05.114
- Rest is how you please god. let's drop down.
- 00:10:05.114 --> 00:10:08.484
- "beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you
- 00:10:08.484 --> 00:10:10.086
- An evil heart of unbelief
- 00:10:10.086 --> 00:10:11.420
- In departing from the living god;
- 00:10:11.420 --> 00:10:12.755
- Exhort one another daily."
- 00:10:12.755 --> 00:10:14.223
- Thank god for instagram. thank god for whatsapp.
- 00:10:14.223 --> 00:10:18.194
- Thank god for your texts. god bless steve jobs, amen?
- 00:10:18.194 --> 00:10:23.632
- You can encourage daily
- 00:10:23.632 --> 00:10:25.668
- Without being close to your friend.
- 00:10:25.668 --> 00:10:27.703
- And the bible says, "daily."
- 00:10:27.703 --> 00:10:29.739
- "exhort one another daily, lest there be any be hardened
- 00:10:29.739 --> 00:10:33.242
- Through the deceitfulness of sin."
- 00:10:33.242 --> 00:10:34.710
- And this "sin" here is singular, referring to unbelief.
- 00:10:34.710 --> 00:10:37.279
- You never know.
- 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:38.614
- All of a sudden, you feel a prompting
- 00:10:38.614 --> 00:10:39.949
- To text someone because maybe their thoughts become hard.
- 00:10:39.949 --> 00:10:42.451
- All of us have a propensity in the flesh to have h-a-r-d,
- 00:10:42.451 --> 00:10:46.489
- Hard thoughts about god.
- 00:10:46.489 --> 00:10:48.524
- The devil is putting those thoughts.
- 00:10:48.524 --> 00:10:49.859
- So your text comes in, and all of a sudden,
- 00:10:49.859 --> 00:10:52.862
- You feel exhorted, amen?
- 00:10:52.862 --> 00:10:55.164
- And you won't be hardened through unbelief.
- 00:10:55.164 --> 00:10:57.433
- Praise god. okay, let's drop down.
- 00:10:57.433 --> 00:11:00.302
- "now with whom was god angry forty years?
- 00:11:00.302 --> 00:11:02.471
- Was it not with those who sinned,
- 00:11:02.471 --> 00:11:04.106
- Whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
- 00:11:04.106 --> 00:11:05.875
- To whom did god swear they will not enter his rest,
- 00:11:05.875 --> 00:11:08.444
- But those who do not obey?"
- 00:11:08.444 --> 00:11:09.779
- And the bible says: "so we see they cannot enter in
- 00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:12.214
- Because of unbelief."
- 00:11:12.214 --> 00:11:14.116
- Unbelief is the very thing that god hates most, unbelief.
- 00:11:14.116 --> 00:11:20.289
- "therefore, since a promise remains of entering his rest,
- 00:11:20.289 --> 00:11:23.058
- Let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it."
- 00:11:23.058 --> 00:11:25.628
- By the way, "rest" here is not heaven.
- 00:11:25.628 --> 00:11:27.463
- Heaven does not have giants.
- 00:11:27.463 --> 00:11:28.798
- There's no need to battle in heaven.
- 00:11:28.798 --> 00:11:30.900
- In fact, when the people of god entered the land,
- 00:11:30.900 --> 00:11:33.002
- They had battles, they had to fight, all right?
- 00:11:33.002 --> 00:11:35.037
- So it's a land of promise. it's not referring to heaven.
- 00:11:35.037 --> 00:11:37.840
- In heaven there's no warfare.
- 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.242
- The only place that god tells his people to fear
- 00:11:40.242 --> 00:11:44.180
- Is fear that you come short of god's rest.
- 00:11:44.180 --> 00:11:47.550
- In other words, fear that you're not restful,
- 00:11:47.550 --> 00:11:50.519
- Fear that you're not restful.
- 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:53.823
- Right now, are you at rest?
- 00:11:53.823 --> 00:11:55.558
- I know the problem is still not resolved.
- 00:11:55.558 --> 00:11:57.993
- I know the difficulty is still there.
- 00:11:57.993 --> 00:12:00.329
- You can see it. you can touch it.
- 00:12:00.329 --> 00:12:05.868
- But god is saying, "can you be at rest?
- 00:12:05.868 --> 00:12:09.371
- I want you to be at rest because this is temporary.
- 00:12:09.371 --> 00:12:13.943
- The works are finished."
- 00:12:13.943 --> 00:12:15.277
- Okay, i'm getting ahead of myself.
- 00:12:15.277 --> 00:12:16.612
- Drop down.
- 00:12:16.612 --> 00:12:17.947
- "therefore, since a--indeed the gospel was preached to us
- 00:12:17.947 --> 00:12:19.982
- As well as to them."
- 00:12:19.982 --> 00:12:21.317
- "the good news was preached to us as well as to the 12 spies
- 00:12:21.317 --> 00:12:24.386
- And the children of israel in kadesh barnea."
- 00:12:24.386 --> 00:12:26.288
- "but the word which they heard did not profit them"--why?--
- 00:12:26.288 --> 00:12:29.792
- "not being mixed with faith in those who heard it."
- 00:12:29.792 --> 00:12:32.828
- You know why many of them didn't believe joshua and caleb?
- 00:12:32.828 --> 00:12:35.998
- They didn't mix with faith. their mixer was broken.
- 00:12:35.998 --> 00:12:39.301
- They didn't mix it with faith.
- 00:12:39.301 --> 00:12:40.636
- Some of you are sitting down here,
- 00:12:40.636 --> 00:12:41.971
- You are here but you're not here.
- 00:12:41.971 --> 00:12:44.306
- You are thinking about lunch.
- 00:12:44.306 --> 00:12:46.442
- You're thinking about what to eat, you know?
- 00:12:46.442 --> 00:12:48.010
- You are here, but you are thinking about somebody else.
- 00:12:48.010 --> 00:12:50.713
- You are here, but you are thinking
- 00:12:50.713 --> 00:12:52.114
- About the korean drama you watched yesterday.
- 00:12:52.114 --> 00:12:54.516
- You are wondering--i know-- "what's gonna happen next?"
- 00:12:54.516 --> 00:12:56.452
- You cannot wait to go back.
- 00:12:56.452 --> 00:12:58.020
- You are here, but you are not here.
- 00:12:58.020 --> 00:12:59.355
- You are not mixing what i am saying with faith.
- 00:12:59.355 --> 00:13:04.260
- Ladies, you all know what i mean, wives,
- 00:13:04.260 --> 00:13:06.762
- About your husbands being there and not there?
- 00:13:06.762 --> 00:13:11.433
- You all don't have the problem?
- 00:13:11.433 --> 00:13:13.202
- New creation church. we are always present.
- 00:13:13.202 --> 00:13:18.774
- Okay, drop down: "we who have believed
- 00:13:18.774 --> 00:13:21.477
- Do enter that rest."
- 00:13:21.477 --> 00:13:22.811
- Very easy.
- 00:13:22.811 --> 00:13:24.146
- How do you enter the rest? believe!
- 00:13:24.146 --> 00:13:25.748
- When god says, "my son took your diseases on his body,
- 00:13:25.748 --> 00:13:29.652
- And with his stripes you are healed,"
- 00:13:29.652 --> 00:13:31.320
- Say, "lord, i believe."
- 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:32.855
- And the devil says, "but i can still see it!"
- 00:13:32.855 --> 00:13:35.124
- You say, "i believe. i believe you, lord."
- 00:13:35.124 --> 00:13:37.993
- The devil says, "look, you can feel it!"
- 00:13:37.993 --> 00:13:39.828
- Say, "i believe it, lord! i believe i'm healed!
- 00:13:39.828 --> 00:13:42.798
- I believe the invisible, not the visible."
- 00:13:42.798 --> 00:13:46.502
- Temporary. eternal.
- 00:13:46.502 --> 00:13:49.104
- Devil's word. god's word, amen.
- 00:13:49.104 --> 00:13:53.609
- "so i swore in my wrath, 'they shall not enter my rest,'
- 00:13:53.609 --> 00:13:55.978
- Although the works were finished--
- 00:13:55.978 --> 00:13:57.479
- The works were finished
- 00:13:57.479 --> 00:13:58.814
- From the foundation of the world."
- 00:13:58.814 --> 00:14:00.149
- Can you believe that god doesn't--
- 00:14:00.149 --> 00:14:01.717
- It's like this: god did everything in your life,
- 00:14:01.717 --> 00:14:03.686
- Prepared everything for you before you were born.
- 00:14:03.686 --> 00:14:05.321
- He prepared everything.
- 00:14:05.321 --> 00:14:06.755
- Just like a loving couple,
- 00:14:06.755 --> 00:14:08.090
- When they're expecting their child,
- 00:14:08.090 --> 00:14:09.425
- They prepare the room, they prepare the colors,
- 00:14:09.425 --> 00:14:12.695
- They prepare the clothing, they prepare everything.
- 00:14:12.695 --> 00:14:16.565
- When the baby comes, he comes into a prepared world.
- 00:14:16.565 --> 00:14:20.936
- How much more your heavenly father?
- 00:14:20.936 --> 00:14:22.471
- He prepares everything, and all the works were finished
- 00:14:22.471 --> 00:14:25.140
- Long before the world was created.
- 00:14:25.140 --> 00:14:28.310
- "how come god can do that, pastor?"
- 00:14:28.310 --> 00:14:29.979
- That's why he is god and you are not.
- 00:14:29.979 --> 00:14:33.882
- God doesn't--"hey, but god-- how come he has the time?"
- 00:14:33.882 --> 00:14:37.753
- God made time.
- 00:14:37.753 --> 00:14:40.422
- God doesn't take time. god gives time.
- 00:14:40.422 --> 00:14:44.326
- We take time. god gives time.
- 00:14:44.326 --> 00:14:49.264
- God doesn't take time from anybody, people.
- 00:14:49.264 --> 00:14:51.400
- God lives outside time.
- 00:14:51.400 --> 00:14:52.968
- He knows your ending from the beginning.
- 00:14:52.968 --> 00:14:54.603
- He has prepared everything for you.
- 00:14:54.603 --> 00:14:56.238
- When you listen to him, your life will be easy.
- 00:14:56.238 --> 00:14:58.974
- Not saying there are no trials, no difficulties.
- 00:14:58.974 --> 00:15:02.077
- But jesus says, "my yoke is easy."
- 00:15:02.077 --> 00:15:04.446
- It will be easy inside.
- 00:15:04.446 --> 00:15:06.582
- "the way of the transgressors is hard," amen?
- 00:15:06.582 --> 00:15:12.087
- I'm gonna give you, right now, a key, all right?
- 00:15:12.087 --> 00:15:16.458
- It's the word in hebrew called "lechem."
- 00:15:16.458 --> 00:15:21.063
- You find this in "beth-lehem." bethlehem?
- 00:15:21.063 --> 00:15:26.201
- Every time there's a "beth" in front, it's a house.
- 00:15:26.201 --> 00:15:28.103
- "bethesda," house of mercy, amen?
- 00:15:28.103 --> 00:15:31.707
- Beth-lehem, bethlehem. lechem is bread, house of bread.
- 00:15:31.707 --> 00:15:36.879
- Jesus, the bread of life,
- 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:38.213
- Was born in the house of bread, amen?
- 00:15:38.213 --> 00:15:40.315
- Lechem is spelled like this: lechem.
- 00:15:40.315 --> 00:15:43.285
- And it also means bread or feed.
- 00:15:43.285 --> 00:15:46.622
- But "lacham" also means fight, to do battle, war.
- 00:15:46.622 --> 00:15:52.327
- The only thing--the spelling is the same--lamed, cheit, mem--
- 00:15:52.327 --> 00:15:56.031
- Same spelling.
- 00:15:56.031 --> 00:15:57.366
- The only thing is the punctuation,
- 00:15:57.366 --> 00:15:59.501
- The little, little dots-- you know?--
- 00:15:59.501 --> 00:16:01.003
- They put different dots at different places.
- 00:16:01.003 --> 00:16:02.838
- One is lechem; one is lacham. lechem is bread or feed.
- 00:16:02.838 --> 00:16:07.376
- Lacham is fight, but it's also to feed.
- 00:16:07.376 --> 00:16:11.447
- So why is it that god put "feeding," "bread,"
- 00:16:11.447 --> 00:16:15.084
- And "fighting" as the same word, why?
- 00:16:15.084 --> 00:16:17.986
- Write this down somewhere: when you feed, you fight.
- 00:16:17.986 --> 00:16:22.224
- Feeding is fighting the enemy.
- 00:16:22.224 --> 00:16:26.061
- We don't fight by fighting. we fight by eating.
- 00:16:26.061 --> 00:16:30.299
- We eat god's word, and the dev-- enemy is defeated.
- 00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:33.502
- That's what you are doing right now in church, people.
- 00:16:33.502 --> 00:16:35.571
- You are feeding.
- 00:16:35.571 --> 00:16:37.339
- And as you are feeding, when you go back,
- 00:16:37.339 --> 00:16:39.908
- You find the enemy is defeated, halle--
- 00:16:39.908 --> 00:16:42.377
- Many a time, you go back, hallelujah,
- 00:16:42.377 --> 00:16:44.379
- God takes care of the problem.
- 00:16:44.379 --> 00:16:45.848
- You took time to be in god's house.
- 00:16:45.848 --> 00:16:47.349
- You took time to be with the lord.
- 00:16:47.349 --> 00:16:48.817
- And god, when god feeds you, god is fighting for you.
- 00:16:48.817 --> 00:16:53.322
- That's why in psalms 23 it says:
- 00:16:53.322 --> 00:16:55.824
- "the lord is my shepherd; i shall not lack."
- 00:16:55.824 --> 00:16:58.560
- And then it says this: "you prepare a table before me
- 00:16:58.560 --> 00:17:02.264
- In the presence of my enemies."
- 00:17:02.264 --> 00:17:04.399
- It's a spread, hallelujah.
- 00:17:04.399 --> 00:17:06.735
- And notice, not "in the absence of my enemies."
- 00:17:06.735 --> 00:17:09.438
- "you prepare a table before me in the presence."
- 00:17:09.438 --> 00:17:12.241
- While the symptoms are still in your body, feed.
- 00:17:12.241 --> 00:17:15.511
- While the difficulty is still there, feed.
- 00:17:15.511 --> 00:17:18.947
- While the addiction is still there, feed.
- 00:17:18.947 --> 00:17:22.451
- Feeding is fighting. feeding is winning.
- 00:17:22.451 --> 00:17:27.556
- And that's why the only fight for us to fight
- 00:17:27.556 --> 00:17:30.459
- Is fight the good fight of faith.
- 00:17:30.459 --> 00:17:32.494
- 1 timothy 6:12, "fight the good fight of faith."
- 00:17:32.494 --> 00:17:35.364
- You see the word "good fight"?
- 00:17:35.364 --> 00:17:37.065
- It's actually--the word in the greek there is "kalos."
- 00:17:37.065 --> 00:17:39.968
- Literally, it's not the word "eu," for "good."
- 00:17:39.968 --> 00:17:42.504
- It is the word kalos.
- 00:17:42.504 --> 00:17:43.839
- Kalos is this-- the first definition of kalos--
- 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.008
- Kalos is either "beautiful" or "handsome."
- 00:17:46.008 --> 00:17:48.210
- In other words, it's "fight the beautiful fight of faith."
- 00:17:48.210 --> 00:17:51.914
- God is saying, when you are in a battle, in a difficulty,
- 00:17:51.914 --> 00:17:54.716
- Your only fight is to stay in faith.
- 00:17:54.716 --> 00:17:58.554
- Fight to remain in faith. fight the good fight of faith.
- 00:17:58.554 --> 00:18:03.592
- In other words, the difficulty is there,
- 00:18:03.592 --> 00:18:04.927
- But you say, "father, i thank you this battle is yours.
- 00:18:04.927 --> 00:18:07.563
- Thank you, father, my eyes are on you.
- 00:18:07.563 --> 00:18:09.898
- Thank you, father, you have overcome
- 00:18:09.898 --> 00:18:11.233
- This problem for me."
- 00:18:11.233 --> 00:18:13.168
- And devil yells, "you can still see it!"
- 00:18:13.168 --> 00:18:15.504
- "lord, my eyes are on you, lord," amen?
- 00:18:15.504 --> 00:18:18.173
- You listening, people?
- 00:18:18.173 --> 00:18:20.576
- That is your fight, and it's a beautiful fight,
- 00:18:20.576 --> 00:18:23.545
- And i suspect god says it's beautiful because you win.
- 00:18:23.545 --> 00:18:27.916
- And god loves it.
- 00:18:27.916 --> 00:18:29.251
- You know, every time we are using faith,
- 00:18:29.251 --> 00:18:30.786
- God loves it.
- 00:18:30.786 --> 00:18:32.154
- God loves it.
- 00:18:32.221 --> 00:18:33.522
- It's, like, "come on, angels, look at that.
- 00:18:33.522 --> 00:18:34.856
- Look at that guy. look at that girl."
- 00:18:34.856 --> 00:18:37.826
- Hallelujah.
- 00:18:37.826 --> 00:18:39.228
- I'm gonna give you five words of grace
- 00:18:39.228 --> 00:18:40.963
- For you to use.
- 00:18:40.963 --> 00:18:42.297
- Every time there's a battle, there's a difficulty,
- 00:18:42.297 --> 00:18:43.832
- Say this under your breath.
- 00:18:43.832 --> 00:18:45.167
- Look at the problem and say this under your breath, okay?
- 00:18:45.167 --> 00:18:49.304
- Before i give it to you, let me show you a story,
- 00:18:49.304 --> 00:18:51.540
- A very famous story, that happened in israel.
- 00:18:51.540 --> 00:18:55.077
- You still can go to that place, that valley there,
- 00:18:55.077 --> 00:18:57.646
- And still imagine because the valley is
- 00:18:57.646 --> 00:19:00.048
- Almost unchanged--all right?-- the topography and all that.
- 00:19:00.048 --> 00:19:03.919
- 1 samuel 17, "when the philistine
- 00:19:03.919 --> 00:19:05.887
- Looked about and saw david--"
- 00:19:05.887 --> 00:19:08.156
- The goliath has been standing there,
- 00:19:08.156 --> 00:19:09.491
- Challenging the people of israel
- 00:19:09.491 --> 00:19:11.126
- To challeng--to fight him.
- 00:19:11.126 --> 00:19:12.894
- For 40 days, he's been standing there.
- 00:19:12.894 --> 00:19:14.529
- No one dared to fight this 10-footer.
- 00:19:14.529 --> 00:19:16.798
- Some say about 9 to 11, 12 feet.
- 00:19:16.798 --> 00:19:19.601
- We're not sure, but he's one of the giants.
- 00:19:19.601 --> 00:19:22.070
- And he was ugly. he was mean.
- 00:19:22.070 --> 00:19:23.405
- In those days--all right?--
- 00:19:23.405 --> 00:19:24.873
- They are very, you know, their faces are all,
- 00:19:24.873 --> 00:19:27.542
- Like, scars and all that.
- 00:19:27.542 --> 00:19:28.977
- So when he disdained david--
- 00:19:28.977 --> 00:19:30.312
- "when he saw david, he despised david
- 00:19:30.312 --> 00:19:31.947
- Because david was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking."
- 00:19:31.947 --> 00:19:35.684
- So you're not supposed to be good-looking in the army.
- 00:19:35.684 --> 00:19:37.853
- You're supposed to have a scar down here--you know?--
- 00:19:37.853 --> 00:19:40.422
- All that kind of thing.
- 00:19:40.422 --> 00:19:41.757
- So when he looked at david, he saw--like pastor lawrence--
- 00:19:41.757 --> 00:19:43.759
- He'd say that "this guy is not a army guy.
- 00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.029
- I don't know what this guy is but--" say thank you.
- 00:19:47.029 --> 00:19:54.670
- You know what? i live by faith, you know?
- 00:19:54.670 --> 00:19:56.238
- I'm calling it by faith. it's all by faith, brother.
- 00:19:56.238 --> 00:19:59.341
- I'm not moving by what's visible.
- 00:19:59.341 --> 00:20:01.777
- No, i love pastor lawrence.
- 00:20:01.777 --> 00:20:03.111
- I think he's a real good-looking guy.
- 00:20:03.111 --> 00:20:04.446
- Praise god. look at david.
- 00:20:04.446 --> 00:20:08.650
- Look at the beautiful girl beside him.
- 00:20:08.650 --> 00:20:10.152
- That's his wife. so, okay, enough of him.
- 00:20:10.152 --> 00:20:13.689
- [congregation laughing]
- 00:20:13.689 --> 00:20:16.425
- "a youth, ruddy and good-looking."
- 00:20:16.425 --> 00:20:19.594
- I want to tell all the young people here.
- 00:20:19.594 --> 00:20:20.929
- Young people here, listen.
- 00:20:20.929 --> 00:20:22.264
- I've studied the bible throughout.
- 00:20:22.264 --> 00:20:23.665
- Okay, i'm gonna tell you something.
- 00:20:23.665 --> 00:20:25.534
- The bible is full of this.
- 00:20:25.534 --> 00:20:26.902
- Now, if god wants to discourage us,
- 00:20:26.902 --> 00:20:28.570
- If god doesn't want us to believe for this,
- 00:20:28.570 --> 00:20:30.672
- Why is it when it comes to david,
- 00:20:30.672 --> 00:20:32.607
- It comes to joseph, it comes to absalom,
- 00:20:32.607 --> 00:20:34.743
- It comes to the people of god,
- 00:20:34.743 --> 00:20:36.345
- You always find god saying that they are good-looking?
- 00:20:36.345 --> 00:20:39.181
- When it comes to their wives-- rebecca, rachel, and others--
- 00:20:39.181 --> 00:20:41.783
- It always says they are good-looking.
- 00:20:41.783 --> 00:20:43.518
- If they are not good-looking, they become good-looking, amen.
- 00:20:43.518 --> 00:20:47.055
- What god is saying is this-- and i've seen it in our church.
- 00:20:47.055 --> 00:20:49.524
- I've seen people who, when they came,
- 00:20:49.524 --> 00:20:51.326
- They were not good-looking.
- 00:20:51.326 --> 00:20:52.661
- But as time goes on, they become really good-looking, amen?
- 00:20:52.661 --> 00:20:56.164
- So one of the possessions you need to possess this year--
- 00:20:56.164 --> 00:20:59.768
- All right?-- is possess this, amen:
- 00:20:59.768 --> 00:21:02.704
- God's people are good-looking, amen?
- 00:21:02.704 --> 00:21:04.139
- Not like a philistine. praise god.
- 00:21:04.139 --> 00:21:05.741
- You might come in looking like a philistine,
- 00:21:05.741 --> 00:21:07.876
- But you will leave looking like a david.
- 00:21:07.876 --> 00:21:09.478
- Praise god.
- 00:21:09.478 --> 00:21:11.513
- "and david was only a youth-- youth, ruddy and good-looking.
- 00:21:11.513 --> 00:21:18.019
- So the philistine said to david,
- 00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:19.388
- 'am i a dog, that you come to me with sticks?'
- 00:21:19.388 --> 00:21:23.392
- And the philistine cursed david by his gods.
- 00:21:23.392 --> 00:21:25.861
- And the philistine said to david,
- 00:21:25.861 --> 00:21:27.195
- 'come to me, come to me,
- 00:21:27.195 --> 00:21:28.530
- I'll give your flesh to the birds of the air
- 00:21:28.530 --> 00:21:29.865
- And the beasts of the field!'
- 00:21:29.865 --> 00:21:31.266
- David said to the philistine,
- 00:21:31.266 --> 00:21:32.601
- 'you come to me with visible sword, with a visible spear,
- 00:21:32.601 --> 00:21:37.205
- And a visible javelin.'"
- 00:21:37.205 --> 00:21:40.008
- Today, we will say missile, bombs, rockets.
- 00:21:40.008 --> 00:21:44.112
- "'but i come to you in the name of the lord of hosts,'"
- 00:21:44.112 --> 00:21:46.548
- Invisible god who is eternal,
- 00:21:46.548 --> 00:21:48.784
- "'the god of the armies of israel, whom you defied!'"
- 00:21:48.784 --> 00:21:52.354
- Next, "'this day the lord will deliver you into my hand,
- 00:21:52.354 --> 00:21:55.190
- And i will strike you and take your head from you.
- 00:21:55.190 --> 00:21:57.759
- And this day i'll give the carcasses of the camp
- 00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.694
- Of the philistines to the birds of the air,
- 00:21:59.694 --> 00:22:01.663
- To the wild beasts of the earth,
- 00:22:01.663 --> 00:22:03.165
- That all the earth may know there is a god in israel.'"
- 00:22:03.165 --> 00:22:06.435
- Next, "'then all this assembly shall know that the lord
- 00:22:06.435 --> 00:22:09.538
- Does not save,'" with what is visible,
- 00:22:09.538 --> 00:22:11.640
- "'with sword and spear; for the battle is the lord's,
- 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.777
- And he will give you into our hands.'"
- 00:22:15.777 --> 00:22:18.113
- Right now--memorize this--
- 00:22:18.113 --> 00:22:20.749
- Learn to mutter this when you are in--
- 00:22:20.749 --> 00:22:24.186
- Before your difficulty,
- 00:22:24.186 --> 00:22:25.520
- Learn to say this under your breath:
- 00:22:25.520 --> 00:22:26.855
- "the battle is the lord's.
- 00:22:26.855 --> 00:22:29.291
- It's not mine.
- 00:22:29.291 --> 00:22:30.992
- It's not mine," amen, amen. are you listening?
- 00:22:30.992 --> 00:22:34.262
- "but, pastor prince, my teenage girl
- 00:22:34.262 --> 00:22:36.264
- Is mixing around with bad company."
- 00:22:36.264 --> 00:22:38.033
- You feel it's your battle. it's not your battle.
- 00:22:38.033 --> 00:22:39.901
- Don't touch it. it's--the battle is the lord's.
- 00:22:39.901 --> 00:22:42.070
- Just like the tithe. the tithe is the lord's.
- 00:22:42.070 --> 00:22:44.105
- Don't touch it. it belongs to him.
- 00:22:44.105 --> 00:22:45.740
- Same way, the battle is not yours to touch, amen.
- 00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:49.177
- Your arm is not too great.
- 00:22:49.177 --> 00:22:52.013
- Your sight is not that far-reaching, amen?
- 00:22:52.013 --> 00:22:55.283
- God is stronger. god is greater.
- 00:22:55.283 --> 00:22:58.019
- God loves you more than you love yourself.
- 00:22:58.019 --> 00:22:59.654
- He loves your teenage daughter more than you can love her.
- 00:22:59.654 --> 00:23:01.890
- God is saying, "don't touch the battle!
- 00:23:01.890 --> 00:23:03.458
- It's mine."
- 00:23:03.458 --> 00:23:04.960
- The battle is the lord's.
- 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:06.328
- "but, pastor prince, david still went to meet the--"
- 00:23:06.328 --> 00:23:08.797
- Yeah, but how did he go?
- 00:23:08.797 --> 00:23:10.131
- Dressed in an armor? no, dressed as a shepherd boy.
- 00:23:10.131 --> 00:23:12.934
- With a sword? no, with a sling!
- 00:23:12.934 --> 00:23:16.671
- So, obviously, he believes "this battle is not mine.
- 00:23:16.671 --> 00:23:19.641
- The battle is the lord's."
- 00:23:19.641 --> 00:23:21.309
- So learn to look at your problems now,
- 00:23:21.309 --> 00:23:23.178
- And the devil will say,
- 00:23:23.178 --> 00:23:24.513
- "what are you going to do about it?"
- 00:23:24.513 --> 00:23:25.847
- Say, "the battle is not mine. it is the lord's.
- 00:23:25.847 --> 00:23:27.182
- Lord, this is your battle. lord, this is your battle.
- 00:23:27.182 --> 00:23:29.651
- Lord, this is your battle."
- 00:23:29.651 --> 00:23:30.986
- Throughout this year, "lord, this is your battle."
- 00:23:30.986 --> 00:23:33.655
- Now, sometimes it won't be as quick as david's victory,
- 00:23:33.655 --> 00:23:36.892
- But the lord is hearing what you're saying.
- 00:23:36.892 --> 00:23:40.028
- And the lord loves it. his arms are bigger than yours.
- 00:23:40.028 --> 00:23:43.832
