  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.819
  • Joseph prince: write this down somewhere,
  • 00:00:13.088 --> 00:00:14.423
  • When you feed, you fight.
  • 00:00:14.556 --> 00:00:17.159
  • Feeding is fighting the enemy.
  • 00:00:17.292 --> 00:00:17.793
  • We don't fight by fighting, we fight by eating.
  • 00:00:20.996 --> 00:00:25.267
  • We eat god's word, and the enemy is defeated.
  • 00:00:25.267 --> 00:00:28.303

  • When you go back, you find the enemy is defeated.

  • You took time to be in god's house,
  • 00:00:40.782 --> 00:00:42.284
  • You took time to be with the lord,
  • 00:00:42.284 --> 00:00:43.685
  • And god, when god feeds you,
  • 00:00:43.685 --> 00:00:45.921
  • God is fighting for you.
  • 00:00:45.921 --> 00:00:47.789

  • And now, here's pastor joseph prince with today's program.
  • 00:01:48.984 --> 00:01:52.788
  • Joseph prince: god is the maker of good days.
  • 00:01:52.788 --> 00:01:57.125
  • You know, the bible says that he that will love life
  • 00:01:57.125 --> 00:02:00.896
  • And see good days, and good days is always plural,
  • 00:02:00.896 --> 00:02:05.033
  • Good days with an s.
  • 00:02:05.033 --> 00:02:07.436
  • But when it comes to the day that you go
  • 00:02:07.436 --> 00:02:09.438
  • Through a trial, maybe some of you
  • 00:02:09.438 --> 00:02:10.806
  • Are in the midst of a trial right now, the bible
  • 00:02:10.806 --> 00:02:13.242
  • Uses the word stand therefore in the evil day,
  • 00:02:13.242 --> 00:02:17.980
  • And there's no s,
  • 00:02:17.980 --> 00:02:19.314
  • Singular, which means your good days are plentiful,
  • 00:02:19.314 --> 00:02:23.552
  • Your evil day is far in between.
  • 00:02:23.552 --> 00:02:29.091
  • Alright, there is something about us.
  • 00:02:29.091 --> 00:02:31.260
  • We all are naturally inclined to the visible,
  • 00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:37.566
  • To the palpable,
  • 00:02:37.566 --> 00:02:40.168
  • That which can be touched, that our five senses
  • 00:02:40.168 --> 00:02:43.839
  • Can take in, and that's why
  • 00:02:43.839 --> 00:02:47.643
  • The people of god wanted a golden calf.
  • 00:02:47.643 --> 00:02:50.345
  • They want something they can touch and feel.
  • 00:02:50.345 --> 00:02:52.080
  • When god says to israel, "i'll be your king,"
  • 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.182
  • They say, "no, no, we want to be like other nations.
  • 00:02:54.182 --> 00:02:56.184
  • They have a king they can see."
  • 00:02:56.184 --> 00:02:57.786
  • God says, "i'll be your king."
  • 00:02:57.786 --> 00:02:59.254
  • "but you are invisible, we want visible," you know?
  • 00:02:59.254 --> 00:03:01.823
  • It's our flesh, our flesh craves for that which is visible,
  • 00:03:01.823 --> 00:03:05.327
  • For that which is palpable, for that which is something
  • 00:03:05.327 --> 00:03:09.831
  • They can touch, you know?
  • 00:03:09.831 --> 00:03:11.500
  • But god lives in the invisible realm.
  • 00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:14.036
  • So the bible says in 2 corinthians 4
  • 00:03:14.036 --> 00:03:16.705
  • That our light affliction,
  • 00:03:16.705 --> 00:03:18.206
  • Whatever you're going through right now,
  • 00:03:18.206 --> 00:03:20.208
  • God calls it light affliction.
  • 00:03:20.208 --> 00:03:22.411
  • "which is but for a moment."
  • 00:03:22.411 --> 00:03:25.714
  • Whatever difficulties you're going through,
  • 00:03:25.714 --> 00:03:27.949
  • It is only for a moment.
  • 00:03:27.949 --> 00:03:30.319
  • I said it's only for a moment.
  • 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.954
  • But it's working for us what?
  • 00:03:32.954 --> 00:03:34.323
  • It's working for us.
  • 00:03:34.323 --> 00:03:35.657
  • This is for people who are going through difficulties,
  • 00:03:35.657 --> 00:03:37.492
  • Through afflictions.
  • 00:03:37.492 --> 00:03:38.827
  • It is working for you a far more exceeding and eternal,
  • 00:03:38.827 --> 00:03:44.966
  • Not temporary, eternal, permanent,
  • 00:03:44.966 --> 00:03:48.337
  • Not for a while, weight of glory.
  • 00:03:48.337 --> 00:03:51.506
  • Whoo!
  • 00:03:51.506 --> 00:03:52.841
  • Weight of glory. i said weight of glory.
  • 00:03:52.841 --> 00:03:56.578
  • Does that mean that everybody who goes through trouble,
  • 00:03:56.578 --> 00:03:59.047
  • They have these blessings?
  • 00:03:59.047 --> 00:04:00.382
  • No, it goes on to say, "while we do not look
  • 00:04:00.382 --> 00:04:04.419
  • At the things which are seen," visible,
  • 00:04:04.419 --> 00:04:08.223
  • "but at the things which are not seen," invisible.
  • 00:04:08.223 --> 00:04:12.127
  • So all these blessings and your trouble
  • 00:04:12.127 --> 00:04:14.696
  • Works for you when your eye is on the invisible,
  • 00:04:14.696 --> 00:04:18.400
  • Not on the visible, on the unseen and not the seen.
  • 00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:21.870
  • "for the things which are seen," visible, "are temporary."
  • 00:04:21.870 --> 00:04:25.140
  • Say temporary.
  • 00:04:25.140 --> 00:04:27.409
  • The doctors give you your x-ray, say there's a black dot here.
  • 00:04:27.409 --> 00:04:30.679
  • Can you see it?
  • 00:04:30.679 --> 00:04:32.013
  • Temporary.
  • 00:04:32.013 --> 00:04:34.116
  • Amen? amen.
  • 00:04:34.116 --> 00:04:37.085
  • Alright, whatever it is in this world,
  • 00:04:37.085 --> 00:04:39.221
  • Look at my wallet,
  • 00:04:39.221 --> 00:04:40.555
  • Nothing, look at my bank account,
  • 00:04:40.555 --> 00:04:41.957
  • Available balance, nothing.
  • 00:04:41.957 --> 00:04:43.291
  • What is that? can you see it?
  • 00:04:43.291 --> 00:04:44.626
  • Yes, nothing, i can see nothing, temporary, amen?
  • 00:04:44.626 --> 00:04:51.466
  • So, you tell your friend, see, ugly or not?
  • 00:04:51.466 --> 00:04:53.702
  • Yeah, you're quite ugly. temporary.
  • 00:04:53.702 --> 00:04:55.570
  • You can see it, good news, temporary, amen?
  • 00:04:55.570 --> 00:04:59.674
  • So in god's economy of things, the way god sees things,
  • 00:04:59.674 --> 00:05:02.677
  • You know, everything in this life that is invisible,
  • 00:05:02.677 --> 00:05:05.147
  • That is unseen.
  • 00:05:05.147 --> 00:05:06.481
  • "the things which are seen are temporary,
  • 00:05:06.481 --> 00:05:07.816
  • But the things which are not unseen are eternal."
  • 00:05:07.816 --> 00:05:12.087
  • Is god seen? no.
  • 00:05:12.087 --> 00:05:13.688
  • Is god here? yes.
  • 00:05:13.688 --> 00:05:15.524
  • God is eternal. angels are eternal.
  • 00:05:15.524 --> 00:05:21.029
  • Blessings are eternal.
  • 00:05:21.029 --> 00:05:22.731
  • You cannot see blessings.
  • 00:05:22.731 --> 00:05:24.065
  • We are blessed with every spiritual blessing
  • 00:05:24.065 --> 00:05:26.234
  • In heavenly places in christ.
  • 00:05:26.234 --> 00:05:28.236
  • You can't see it.
  • 00:05:28.236 --> 00:05:29.571
  • What you see are the effects of blessings.
  • 00:05:29.571 --> 00:05:33.675
  • Someone is prospering, someone's health
  • 00:05:33.675 --> 00:05:36.077
  • Is being blessed,
  • 00:05:36.077 --> 00:05:37.412
  • Someone's married life is being blessed,
  • 00:05:37.412 --> 00:05:38.780
  • The marriage come around,
  • 00:05:38.780 --> 00:05:40.115
  • Water turns to wine in that marriage.
  • 00:05:40.115 --> 00:05:41.450
  • You are seeing the effects of the blessing.
  • 00:05:41.450 --> 00:05:45.187
  • You know, the lord is with you all the time.
  • 00:05:45.187 --> 00:05:48.757
  • Learn to live in the invisible.
  • 00:05:48.757 --> 00:05:51.460
  • Learn not to let the devil sway you with the visible.
  • 00:05:51.460 --> 00:05:54.196
  • He said look at this, look at that, look at your lump,
  • 00:05:54.196 --> 00:05:56.364
  • How big it's growing.
  • 00:05:56.364 --> 00:05:57.833
  • You know, the thing is this.
  • 00:05:57.833 --> 00:05:59.434
  • The devil will tell you all kinds of things,
  • 00:05:59.434 --> 00:06:01.169
  • He will tell you, you see,
  • 00:06:01.169 --> 00:06:02.504
  • Everything just rhymes with this,
  • 00:06:02.504 --> 00:06:03.839
  • Because you're called to this, you know?
  • 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:05.407
  • Don't believe the devil.
  • 00:06:05.407 --> 00:06:07.142
  • He will tell you--the worst kind of persuasion is when
  • 00:06:07.142 --> 00:06:10.312
  • It's religious, god wants you to suffer,
  • 00:06:10.312 --> 00:06:12.881
  • God wants you to have this disease,
  • 00:06:12.881 --> 00:06:14.983
  • Or wants your child to suffer this, okay?
  • 00:06:14.983 --> 00:06:17.185
  • Maybe it's god's will.
  • 00:06:17.185 --> 00:06:18.553
  • Then you start preaching that, and people start believing
  • 00:06:18.553 --> 00:06:19.921
  • That nonsense, and yet, behind the scene,
  • 00:06:19.921 --> 00:06:24.593
  • You are bringing your child to the doctor.
  • 00:06:24.593 --> 00:06:26.528
  • If you really believe that god wants your child to be sick,
  • 00:06:26.528 --> 00:06:29.498
  • You have no right to try to get the child healed,
  • 00:06:29.498 --> 00:06:33.335
  • Because according to your admission,
  • 00:06:33.335 --> 00:06:35.370
  • God wants your child sick.
  • 00:06:35.370 --> 00:06:37.672
  • No, when it comes to your own family, all of a sudden,
  • 00:06:37.672 --> 00:06:40.342
  • All these silly doctrines go down the drain.
  • 00:06:40.342 --> 00:06:42.511
  • Jesus says if you as an earthly father
  • 00:06:42.511 --> 00:06:44.813
  • Know how to give good things to your children,
  • 00:06:44.813 --> 00:06:46.915
  • How much more your heavenly father?
  • 00:06:46.915 --> 00:06:48.950
  • Please, don't malign god. god made you in his image.
  • 00:06:48.950 --> 00:06:52.454
  • We want the best for our children, how much more god?
  • 00:06:52.454 --> 00:06:55.423
  • And what pains god? they refuse to enter the land.
  • 00:06:55.423 --> 00:06:59.160
  • So god said this, finally, let's look at hebrews chapter 3.
  • 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:04.966
  • "therefore, as the holy spirit says:
  • 00:07:04.966 --> 00:07:06.801
  • 'today if you hear his voice--'".
  • 00:07:06.801 --> 00:07:08.470
  • Now, god's spirit is talking now.
  • 00:07:08.470 --> 00:07:09.971
  • He's giving us another chance not to make the same mistake
  • 00:07:09.971 --> 00:07:12.807
  • That the children of israel make.
  • 00:07:12.807 --> 00:07:14.142
  • Today, "today, if you will hear his voice,
  • 00:07:14.142 --> 00:07:16.511
  • Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
  • 00:07:16.511 --> 00:07:19.114
  • In the day of trial in the wilderness,
  • 00:07:19.114 --> 00:07:21.716
  • Where your fathers tested me, tried me,
  • 00:07:21.716 --> 00:07:24.986
  • And saw my works forty years."
  • 00:07:24.986 --> 00:07:28.290
  • Look at the word my works.
  • 00:07:28.290 --> 00:07:29.958
  • Now, i found that god should have said my judgment.
  • 00:07:29.958 --> 00:07:32.160
  • But there's a reason why he says my works.
  • 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.462
  • If you don't rest, you're always working, you see god's works,
  • 00:07:34.462 --> 00:07:39.734
  • God's judgment.
  • 00:07:39.734 --> 00:07:41.069
  • "therefore, i was angry with that generation,
  • 00:07:41.069 --> 00:07:43.805
  • And said, 'they always go astray in their heart,
  • 00:07:43.805 --> 00:07:45.674
  • And they have not known my ways.'
  • 00:07:45.674 --> 00:07:47.542
  • So i swore in my wrath."
  • 00:07:47.542 --> 00:07:49.778
  • So you have my works, my ways.
  • 00:07:49.778 --> 00:07:52.247
  • What are god's ways?
  • 00:07:52.247 --> 00:07:53.615
  • Obviously, the ten and the majority
  • 00:07:53.615 --> 00:07:55.216
  • Of the children of israel missed it.
  • 00:07:55.216 --> 00:07:59.321
  • Joshua and caleb got it.
  • 00:07:59.321 --> 00:08:01.990
  • They got god's ways.
  • 00:08:01.990 --> 00:08:03.658
  • And what is god's ways?
  • 00:08:03.658 --> 00:08:05.827
  • We'll see it presently.
  • 00:08:05.827 --> 00:08:07.162
  • "so i swore in my wrath, 'they shall not enter my rest.'"
  • 00:08:07.162 --> 00:08:12.601
  • Many years ago when i was reading this,
  • 00:08:12.601 --> 00:08:14.769
  • I said wait a minute,
  • 00:08:14.769 --> 00:08:16.104
  • God should have said, "they shall not enter my land."
  • 00:08:16.104 --> 00:08:19.574
  • Because the story here is referring to
  • 00:08:19.574 --> 00:08:20.942
  • The kadesh barnea story.
  • 00:08:20.942 --> 00:08:22.277
  • What did god say? my rest.
  • 00:08:22.277 --> 00:08:24.446
  • Because today, it's not a physical land
  • 00:08:24.446 --> 00:08:25.914
  • For you and i.
  • 00:08:25.914 --> 00:08:27.315
  • Today, your promised land,
  • 00:08:27.315 --> 00:08:29.818
  • The land flowing with milk and honey,
  • 00:08:29.818 --> 00:08:32.087
  • The place where you eat from vineyards you didn't plant,
  • 00:08:32.087 --> 00:08:35.023
  • From wells you didn't dig, is the land of rest.
  • 00:08:35.023 --> 00:08:39.027
  • It's a place where you come to a rest.
  • 00:08:39.027 --> 00:08:40.562
  • Even though you don't see the visible yet,
  • 00:08:40.562 --> 00:08:43.064
  • Even though the healing has not manifest,
  • 00:08:43.064 --> 00:08:45.400
  • Even though the provision has not yet come,
  • 00:08:45.400 --> 00:08:47.435
  • Even though the deliverance from addiction
  • 00:08:47.435 --> 00:08:49.738
  • In your teenage boy has not yet happened, you tell god,
  • 00:08:49.738 --> 00:08:52.907
  • God i thank you, i'm at rest,
  • 00:08:52.907 --> 00:08:55.276
  • Because you are fighting this battle.
  • 00:08:55.276 --> 00:08:58.413
  • You rest. i said you rest, okay?
  • 00:08:58.413 --> 00:09:02.651
  • So god says--so,
  • 00:09:02.651 --> 00:09:04.019
  • See the difference between my wrath, my rest?
  • 00:09:04.019 --> 00:09:06.321
  • My wrath, my rest.
  • 00:09:06.321 --> 00:09:07.656
  • The opposite of god's wrath, rest.
  • 00:09:07.656 --> 00:09:10.425
  • Rest is how you please god.
  • 00:09:10.425 --> 00:09:12.060
  • Let's drop down.
  • 00:09:12.060 --> 00:09:13.628
  • "beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you
  • 00:09:13.628 --> 00:09:15.497
  • An evil heart of unbelief in departing
  • 00:09:15.497 --> 00:09:16.965
  • From the living god; exhort one another daily."
  • 00:09:16.965 --> 00:09:19.501
  • Thank god for instagram, thank god for whatsapp,
  • 00:09:19.501 --> 00:09:23.204
  • Thank god for your texts.
  • 00:09:23.204 --> 00:09:25.774
  • God bless steve jobs, amen?
  • 00:09:25.774 --> 00:09:28.743
  • You can encourage daily without being close to your friend.
  • 00:09:28.743 --> 00:09:32.781
  • And the bible says daily, exhort one another daily,
  • 00:09:32.781 --> 00:09:36.051
  • Lest there be--any be hardened
  • 00:09:36.051 --> 00:09:38.319
  • Through the deceitfulness of sin.
  • 00:09:38.319 --> 00:09:39.654
  • And this sin here is singular, referring to unbelief.
  • 00:09:39.654 --> 00:09:42.724
  • You never know, all of a sudden
  • 00:09:42.724 --> 00:09:44.059
  • You feel a prompting to text someone,
  • 00:09:44.059 --> 00:09:45.393
  • Because maybe their thoughts become hard.
  • 00:09:45.393 --> 00:09:47.328
  • All of us have a propensity in the flesh to have h-a-r-d,
  • 00:09:47.328 --> 00:09:51.700
  • Hard thoughts about god.
  • 00:09:51.700 --> 00:09:53.735
  • The devil is putting those thoughts.
  • 00:09:53.735 --> 00:09:55.070
  • So your text comes in, and all of a sudden
  • 00:09:55.070 --> 00:09:57.906
  • You feel exhorted, amen?
  • 00:09:57.906 --> 00:10:00.375
  • And you won't be hardened through unbelief, praise god.
  • 00:10:00.375 --> 00:10:03.678
  • Okay, let's drop down.
  • 00:10:03.678 --> 00:10:05.447
  • "now with whom was god angry forty years?
  • 00:10:05.447 --> 00:10:07.782
  • Was it not with those who sinned,
  • 00:10:07.782 --> 00:10:09.384
  • Whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
  • 00:10:09.384 --> 00:10:11.152
  • To whom did god swear they will not enter his rest,
  • 00:10:11.152 --> 00:10:13.588
  • But those who do not obey?"
  • 00:10:13.588 --> 00:10:14.923
  • And the bible says, "so we see they cannot enter in
  • 00:10:14.923 --> 00:10:17.258
  • Because of unbelief."
  • 00:10:17.258 --> 00:10:19.094
  • Unbelief is the very thing that god hates most, unbelief.
  • 00:10:19.094 --> 00:10:25.366
  • "therefore, since a promise remains of entering his rest,
  • 00:10:25.366 --> 00:10:28.403
  • Let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it."
  • 00:10:28.403 --> 00:10:30.739
  • By the way, rest here is not heaven.
  • 00:10:30.739 --> 00:10:32.774
  • Heaven does not have giants.
  • 00:10:32.774 --> 00:10:34.109
  • There's no need to battle in heaven.
  • 00:10:34.109 --> 00:10:36.111
  • In fact, when the people of god entered the land,
  • 00:10:36.111 --> 00:10:38.279
  • They had battles, they had to fight, alright?
  • 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.315
  • So it's a land of promise.
  • 00:10:40.315 --> 00:10:41.716
  • It's not referring to heaven.
  • 00:10:41.716 --> 00:10:43.118
  • Heaven there's no warfare.
  • 00:10:43.118 --> 00:10:45.353
  • The only place that god tells his people
  • 00:10:45.353 --> 00:10:48.089
  • To fear is fear that you come short of god's rest.
  • 00:10:48.089 --> 00:10:52.727
  • In other words, fear that you're not restful.
  • 00:10:52.727 --> 00:10:55.730
  • Fear that you're not restful.
  • 00:10:55.730 --> 00:10:58.800
  • Right now are you at rest?
  • 00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:00.468
  • I know the problem is still not resolved.
  • 00:11:00.468 --> 00:11:03.104
  • I know the difficulty is still there.
  • 00:11:03.104 --> 00:11:05.507
  • You can see it, you can touch it,
  • 00:11:05.507 --> 00:11:10.945
  • But god is saying can you be at rest?
  • 00:11:10.945 --> 00:11:14.415
  • I want you to be at rest, because this is temporary.
  • 00:11:14.415 --> 00:11:19.254
  • The works are finished.
  • 00:11:19.254 --> 00:11:20.588
  • Okay, i'm getting ahead of myself, drop down.
  • 00:11:20.588 --> 00:11:22.390
  • "therefore, since a prom-- indeed the gospel
  • 00:11:22.390 --> 00:11:24.259
  • Was preached to us as well as to them."
  • 00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:26.127
  • The good news was preached to us as well
  • 00:11:26.127 --> 00:11:28.229
  • As to the 12 spies and the children of israel
  • 00:11:28.229 --> 00:11:30.298
  • In kadesh barnea, "but the word
  • 00:11:30.298 --> 00:11:31.866
  • Which they heard did not profit them," why?
  • 00:11:31.866 --> 00:11:34.836
  • "not being mixed with faith in those who heard it."
  • 00:11:34.836 --> 00:11:37.906
  • You know why many of them didn't believe joshua and caleb?
  • 00:11:37.906 --> 00:11:41.142
  • They didn't mix with faith. their mixer was broken.
  • 00:11:41.142 --> 00:11:44.546
  • They didn't mix with faith.
  • 00:11:44.546 --> 00:11:45.880
  • Some of you are sitting down here, you are here,
  • 00:11:45.880 --> 00:11:47.749
  • But you're not here.
  • 00:11:47.749 --> 00:11:49.484
  • You are thinking about lunch.
  • 00:11:49.484 --> 00:11:51.553
  • You are thinking about what to eat, you know?
  • 00:11:51.553 --> 00:11:53.254
  • You are here, but you are thinking
  • 00:11:53.254 --> 00:11:54.656
  • About somebody else.
  • 00:11:54.656 --> 00:11:55.990
  • You are here, but you are thinking
  • 00:11:55.990 --> 00:11:57.325
  • About the korean drama you watched yesterday.
  • 00:11:57.325 --> 00:11:59.761
  • You are wondering what's going to happen next.
  • 00:11:59.761 --> 00:12:01.629
  • You can't wait to go back.
  • 00:12:01.629 --> 00:12:02.964
  • You are here, but you're not here.
  • 00:12:02.964 --> 00:12:04.532
  • You're not mixing what i'm saying with faith.
  • 00:12:04.532 --> 00:12:09.237
  • Ladies, you all know what i mean?
  • 00:12:09.237 --> 00:12:10.905
  • Wives, about your husbands being there and not there.
  • 00:12:10.905 --> 00:12:16.644
  • You all don't have the problem? new creation church.
  • 00:12:16.644 --> 00:12:20.448
  • We are always present. okay, drop down.
  • 00:12:20.448 --> 00:12:25.420
  • "we who have believed do enter that rest."
  • 00:12:25.420 --> 00:12:28.022
  • Very easy.
  • 00:12:28.022 --> 00:12:29.357
  • How do you enter the rest? believe.
  • 00:12:29.357 --> 00:12:30.792
  • When god says, "my son put your diseases on his body,
  • 00:12:30.792 --> 00:12:34.796
  • And with his stripes you are healed."
  • 00:12:34.796 --> 00:12:36.497
  • Say, lord, i believe.
  • 00:12:36.497 --> 00:12:37.966
  • And the devil says, "but i can still see it."
  • 00:12:37.966 --> 00:12:40.201
  • You say i believe. i believe you, lord.
  • 00:12:40.201 --> 00:12:43.171
  • The devil says, "look, you can feel it."
  • 00:12:43.171 --> 00:12:45.006
  • Say i believe it, lord. i believe i'm healed.
  • 00:12:45.006 --> 00:12:47.775
  • I believe the invisible, not the visible, temporary,
  • 00:12:47.775 --> 00:12:52.580
  • Eternal, devil's word, god's word, amen.
  • 00:12:52.580 --> 00:12:58.786
  • "so i swore in my wrath, 'they shall not enter my rest,'
  • 00:12:58.786 --> 00:13:01.256
  • Although the works were finished."
  • 00:13:01.256 --> 00:13:02.657
  • The works were finished
  • 00:13:02.657 --> 00:13:03.992
  • From the foundation of the world.
  • 00:13:03.992 --> 00:13:05.326
  • Can you believe that god doesn't--
  • 00:13:05.326 --> 00:13:06.728
  • It's like this, god did everything in your life,
  • 00:13:06.728 --> 00:13:08.963
  • Prepared everything for you before you were born.
  • 00:13:08.963 --> 00:13:10.698
  • He prepared everything just like a loving couple
  • 00:13:10.698 --> 00:13:13.001
  • When they're expecting their child,
  • 00:13:13.001 --> 00:13:14.435
  • They prepare the room, they prepare the colors,
  • 00:13:14.435 --> 00:13:17.839
  • They prepare the clothing, they prepare everything.
  • 00:13:17.839 --> 00:13:21.643
  • When the baby comes, he comes into a prepared world.
  • 00:13:21.643 --> 00:13:26.314
  • How much more your heavenly father, he prepares everything,
  • 00:13:26.314 --> 00:13:28.816
  • And all the works will finish long before the world
  • 00:13:28.816 --> 00:13:31.386
  • Was created.
  • 00:13:31.386 --> 00:13:33.288
  • How come god can do that, pastor?
  • 00:13:33.288 --> 00:13:35.156
  • That's why he is god, and you are not.
  • 00:13:35.156 --> 00:13:38.960
  • God doesn't--but god--
  • 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.629
  • How come he has the time? god made time.
  • 00:13:41.629 --> 00:13:45.500
  • God doesn't take time, god gives time.
  • 00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:49.570
  • We take time, god gives time.
  • 00:13:49.570 --> 00:13:53.741
  • God doesn't take time from anybody, people.
  • 00:13:53.741 --> 00:13:56.477
  • God lives outside time.
  • 00:13:56.477 --> 00:13:58.112
  • He knows your ending from the beginning.
  • 00:13:58.112 --> 00:13:59.914
  • He has prepared everything for you.
  • 00:13:59.914 --> 00:14:01.349
  • When you listen to him, your life will be easy.
  • 00:14:01.349 --> 00:14:04.285
  • Not saying there are no trials, no difficulties,
  • 00:14:04.285 --> 00:14:07.288
  • But jesus says, "my yoke is easy."
  • 00:14:07.288 --> 00:14:09.590
  • It will be easy inside.
  • 00:14:09.590 --> 00:14:11.693
  • The way of the transgressors is hard, amen?
  • 00:14:11.693 --> 00:14:17.398
  • I'm going to give you right now a key, alright?
  • 00:14:17.398 --> 00:14:21.602
  • It's the word in hebrew called lechem.
  • 00:14:21.602 --> 00:14:26.040
  • You find this in bethlehem. bethlehem?
  • 00:14:26.040 --> 00:14:31.212
  • Every time there's a beth in front, it's a house.
  • 00:14:31.212 --> 00:14:33.314
  • Bethesda, house of mercy, amen?
  • 00:14:33.314 --> 00:14:36.884
  • Beth-lechem, bethlehem.
  • 00:14:36.884 --> 00:14:39.387
  • Lechem is bread, house of bread.
  • 00:14:39.387 --> 00:14:41.956
  • Jesus, the bread of life was born
  • 00:14:41.956 --> 00:14:43.725
  • In the house of bread, amen?
  • 00:14:43.725 --> 00:14:45.493
  • Lechem is spelled like this, lechem,
  • 00:14:45.493 --> 00:14:48.363
  • And it also means bread
  • 00:14:48.363 --> 00:14:50.565
  • Or feed, but lacham also means fight, to do battle, war.
  • 00:14:50.565 --> 00:14:57.438
  • The only--the spelling is the same, lamed, chet, mem.
  • 00:14:57.438 --> 00:15:01.309
  • Same spelling, the only thing is the punctuation, the little,
  • 00:15:01.309 --> 00:15:05.113
  • Little dots, you know?
  • 00:15:05.113 --> 00:15:06.447
  • They put different dots at different places.
  • 00:15:06.447 --> 00:15:07.949
  • One is lechem, one is lacham.
  • 00:15:07.949 --> 00:15:10.451
  • Lechem is bread or feed, lacham is fight,
  • 00:15:10.451 --> 00:15:14.122
  • But it's also to feed.
  • 00:15:14.122 --> 00:15:16.824
  • So why is it that god put feeding, bread,
  • 00:15:16.891 --> 00:15:20.161
  • And fighting as the same word, why?
  • 00:15:20.161 --> 00:15:23.131
  • Write this down somewhere.
  • 00:15:23.131 --> 00:15:24.665
  • When you feed, you fight.
  • 00:15:24.665 --> 00:15:27.335
  • Feeding is fighting the enemy.
  • 00:15:27.335 --> 00:15:31.172
  • We don't fight by fighting, we fight by eating.
  • 00:15:31.172 --> 00:15:35.376
  • We eat god's word, and the enemy is defeated.
  • 00:15:35.376 --> 00:15:38.546
  • That's what you are doing right now in church, people.
  • 00:15:38.546 --> 00:15:40.748
  • You are feeding, and as you are feeding, when you go back,
  • 00:15:40.748 --> 00:15:45.219
  • You find the enemy is defeated.
  • 00:15:45.219 --> 00:15:47.488
  • Many a time when you go back, hallelujah!
  • 00:15:47.488 --> 00:15:49.290
  • God takes care of the problem.
  • 00:15:49.290 --> 00:15:50.958
  • You took time to be in god's house,
  • 00:15:50.958 --> 00:15:52.493
  • You took time to be with the lord,
  • 00:15:52.493 --> 00:15:53.928
  • And god, when god feeds you,
  • 00:15:53.928 --> 00:15:56.164
  • God is fighting for you.
  • 00:15:56.164 --> 00:15:58.399
  • That's why in psalms 23, it says,
  • 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.002
  • "the lord is my shepherd, i shall not lack."
  • 00:16:01.002 --> 00:16:03.771
  • And then it says this, "you prepare a table before me
  • 00:16:03.771 --> 00:16:07.442
  • In the presence of my enemies."
  • 00:16:07.442 --> 00:16:09.377
  • It's a spread, hallelujah.
  • 00:16:09.377 --> 00:16:11.746
  • And notice, not in the absence of my enemies.
  • 00:16:11.746 --> 00:16:14.682
  • You prepare a table before me in the presence.
  • 00:16:14.682 --> 00:16:17.318
  • While the symptoms are still in your body, feed.
  • 00:16:17.318 --> 00:16:20.655
  • While the difficulty is still there, feed.
  • 00:16:20.655 --> 00:16:24.158
  • While the addiction is still there, feed.
  • 00:16:24.158 --> 00:16:27.795
  • Feeding is fighting, feeding is winning,
  • 00:16:27.795 --> 00:16:32.533
  • And that's why the only fight for us to fight
  • 00:16:32.533 --> 00:16:35.570
  • Is fight the good fight of faith.
  • 00:16:35.570 --> 00:16:37.672
  • First timothy 6:12, "fight the good fight of faith."
  • 00:16:37.672 --> 00:16:40.475
  • You see the word good fight?
  • 00:16:40.475 --> 00:16:42.076
  • It's actually the word-- in the greek there it's kalos.
  • 00:16:42.076 --> 00:16:45.213
  • Literally, it's not the word eu for good,
  • 00:16:45.213 --> 00:16:47.748
  • It is the word kalos. kalos is this.
  • 00:16:47.748 --> 00:16:49.750
  • The first definition of kalos.
  • 00:16:49.750 --> 00:16:51.085
  • Kalos is either beautiful or handsome.
  • 00:16:51.085 --> 00:16:53.421
  • In other words, it's fight the beautiful fight of faith.
  • 00:16:53.421 --> 00:16:57.058
  • God is saying when you're in a battle,
  • 00:16:57.058 --> 00:16:58.860
  • In a difficulty, your only fight
  • 00:16:58.860 --> 00:17:00.962
  • Is to stay in faith.
  • 00:17:00.962 --> 00:17:03.698
  • Fight to remain in faith. fight the good fight of faith.
  • 00:17:03.698 --> 00:17:08.636
  • In other words, the difficulty is there, but you say, father,
  • 00:17:08.636 --> 00:17:10.838
  • I thank you, this battle is yours.
  • 00:17:10.838 --> 00:17:12.607
  • Thank you, father, my eye's on you.
  • 00:17:12.607 --> 00:17:14.976
  • Thank you, father, you have overcome this problem for me.
  • 00:17:14.976 --> 00:17:18.179
  • And devil yells, "you can still see it!"
  • 00:17:18.179 --> 00:17:20.548
  • Lord, my eyes are on you, lord, amen?
  • 00:17:20.548 --> 00:17:23.317
  • You listening, people?
  • 00:17:23.317 --> 00:17:25.686
  • That is your fight, and it's a beautiful fight.
  • 00:17:25.686 --> 00:17:28.789
  • And i suspect god says it's beautiful because you win,
  • 00:17:28.789 --> 00:17:33.561
  • And god loves it.
  • 00:17:33.561 --> 00:17:34.896
  • You know, every time we are using faith, god loves it.
  • 00:17:34.896 --> 00:17:37.365
  • God loves it, it's like, "come on, angels, look at that.
  • 00:17:37.365 --> 00:17:39.734
  • Look at that guy, look at that girl."
  • 00:17:39.734 --> 00:17:42.837
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:17:42.837 --> 00:17:44.305
  • I'm gonna give you five words of grace for you to use.
  • 00:17:44.305 --> 00:17:47.441
  • Every time there's a battle, there's a difficulty,
  • 00:17:47.441 --> 00:17:49.277
  • Say this under your breath.
  • 00:17:49.277 --> 00:17:50.611
  • Look at the problem and say this under your breath, okay?
  • 00:17:50.611 --> 00:17:54.348
  • Before i give it to you, let me show you a story,
  • 00:17:54.348 --> 00:17:56.651
  • A very famous story that happened in israel.
  • 00:17:56.651 --> 00:18:00.121
  • You still can go to that place, that valley there,
  • 00:18:00.121 --> 00:18:02.723
  • And still imagine,
  • 00:18:02.723 --> 00:18:04.258
  • Because the valley is almost unchanged, alright?
  • 00:18:04.258 --> 00:18:07.328
  • The topography and all that.
  • 00:18:07.328 --> 00:18:09.030
  • First samuel 17, "when the philistine
  • 00:18:09.030 --> 00:18:11.199
  • Looked about and saw david,"
  • 00:18:11.199 --> 00:18:13.134
  • The goliath has been standing there challenging
  • 00:18:13.134 --> 00:18:14.869
  • The people of israel to challenge, to fight him.
  • 00:18:14.869 --> 00:18:17.838
  • For 40 days, he's been standing there.
  • 00:18:17.838 --> 00:18:19.674
  • No one dared to fight this ten-footer.
  • 00:18:19.674 --> 00:18:21.943
  • Some say about 9 to 11, 12 feet, we're not sure,
  • 00:18:21.943 --> 00:18:25.079
  • But he's one of the giants,
  • 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:26.948
  • And he was ugly, he was mean.
  • 00:18:26.948 --> 00:18:28.416
  • In those days, they are very-- their faces
  • 00:18:28.416 --> 00:18:32.553
  • Were all like scars and all that.
  • 00:18:32.553 --> 00:18:34.055
  • So, he disdained david, when he saw david,
  • 00:18:34.055 --> 00:18:36.057
  • He despised david,
  • 00:18:36.057 --> 00:18:37.391
  • Because david was only a youth, ruddy and good looking.
  • 00:18:37.391 --> 00:18:40.728
  • So you're not supposed to be good looking in the army.
  • 00:18:40.728 --> 00:18:42.830
  • You're supposed to have a scar down here, you know?
  • 00:18:42.830 --> 00:18:45.600
  • All that kind of thing.
  • 00:18:45.600 --> 00:18:46.934
  • So when he looked at david, he saw like pastor lawrence,
  • 00:18:46.934 --> 00:18:48.736
  • He said that, "this guy is not an army guy.
  • 00:18:48.736 --> 00:18:52.206
  • I don't know what this guy is, but."
  • 00:18:52.206 --> 00:18:56.811
  • Say thank you. you know what?
  • 00:18:56.811 --> 00:19:00.481
  • I live by faith, you know, right?
  • 00:19:00.481 --> 00:19:01.849
  • I'm calling it by faith.
  • 00:19:01.849 --> 00:19:03.184
  • It's all by faith, brother.
  • 00:19:03.184 --> 00:19:04.552
  • I'm not moved by what's visible. no, i love pastor lawrence.
  • 00:19:04.552 --> 00:19:08.256
  • I think he's a real good-looking guy, praise god.
  • 00:19:08.256 --> 00:19:11.292
  • Look at david.
  • 00:19:11.292 --> 00:19:13.728
  • Look at the beautiful girl beside him, that's his wife.
  • 00:19:13.728 --> 00:19:16.497
  • So, okay, enough of him.
  • 00:19:16.497 --> 00:19:21.535
  • Youth, ruddy and good looking.
  • 00:19:21.535 --> 00:19:24.572
  • I want to tell all the young people here.
  • 00:19:24.572 --> 00:19:26.474
  • Young people here, listen.
  • 00:19:26.474 --> 00:19:27.808
  • I've studied the bible throughout.
  • 00:19:27.808 --> 00:19:29.143
  • Okay, i'm gonna tell you something.
  • 00:19:29.143 --> 00:19:30.511
  • The bible is full of this.
  • 00:19:30.511 --> 00:19:32.046
  • Now, if god wants to discourage us,
  • 00:19:32.046 --> 00:19:33.748
  • If god doesn't want us to believe for this,
  • 00:19:33.748 --> 00:19:35.883
  • Why is it when it comes to david, it comes to joseph,
  • 00:19:35.883 --> 00:19:39.220
  • It comes to absalom, it comes to the people of god,
  • 00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:41.422
  • You always find god saying that they are good looking?
  • 00:19:41.422 --> 00:19:44.191
  • When it comes to their wives, rebecca, rachel, and all,
  • 00:19:44.191 --> 00:19:47.061
  • It always says they are good looking.
  • 00:19:47.061 --> 00:19:48.462
  • If they are not good looking, they become good looking, amen?
  • 00:19:48.462 --> 00:19:52.233
  • What god is saying is this, and i've seen it in our church.
  • 00:19:52.233 --> 00:19:54.635
  • I've seen people who when they came, they were not
  • 00:19:54.635 --> 00:19:57.004
  • Good looking, but as time goes on,
  • 00:19:57.004 --> 00:19:58.572
  • They become really good looking, amen?
  • 00:19:58.572 --> 00:20:01.275
  • So one of the possessions
  • 00:20:01.275 --> 00:20:03.010
  • You need to possess this year, alright?
  • 00:20:03.010 --> 00:20:05.980
  • Is possess this, amen?
  • 00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:07.748
  • God's people are good looking, amen?
  • 00:20:07.748 --> 00:20:09.317
  • Not like a philistine, praise god.
  • 00:20:09.317 --> 00:20:10.985
  • You might come in looking like a philistine,
  • 00:20:10.985 --> 00:20:12.820
  • But you will leave looking like a david, praise god.
  • 00:20:12.820 --> 00:20:16.691
  • And david was only a youth, youth,
  • 00:20:16.691 --> 00:20:21.295
  • Ruddy and good looking.
  • 00:20:21.295 --> 00:20:23.130
  • "so the philistine said to david,
  • 00:20:23.130 --> 00:20:24.565
  • 'am i a dog that you come to me with sticks?'
  • 00:20:24.565 --> 00:20:28.669
  • And the philistine cursed david by his gods.
  • 00:20:28.669 --> 00:20:31.038
  • And the philistines said to david, 'come to me, come to me,
  • 00:20:31.038 --> 00:20:33.240
  • I'll give your flesh to the birds of the air
  • 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.975
  • And the beasts of the field!'
  • 00:20:34.975 --> 00:20:36.344
  • David said to the philistine, 'you come to me
  • 00:20:36.344 --> 00:20:37.678
  • With visible sword,
  • 00:20:37.678 --> 00:20:40.081
  • With a visible spear, and a visible javelin.'"
  • 00:20:40.081 --> 00:20:45.119
  • Today we will say missile, bombs, rockets.
  • 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:49.223
  • "but i come to you in the name of the lord of hosts,"
  • 00:20:49.223 --> 00:20:51.726
  • Invisible god who is eternal.
  • 00:20:51.726 --> 00:20:53.961
  • "the god of the armies of israel, whom you defied."
  • 00:20:53.961 --> 00:20:57.331
  • Next.
  • 00:20:57.331 --> 00:20:58.666
  • "this day the lord will deliver you into my hand,
  • 00:20:58.666 --> 00:21:00.468
  • And i will strike you and take your head from you.
  • 00:21:00.468 --> 00:21:02.903
  • And this day i'll give the carcasses
  • 00:21:02.903 --> 00:21:04.605
  • Of the camp of the philistines to the birds of the air,
  • 00:21:04.605 --> 00:21:06.774
  • To the wild beasts of the earth,
  • 00:21:06.774 --> 00:21:08.175
  • That all the earth may know there is a god in israel."
  • 00:21:08.175 --> 00:21:11.379
  • Next.
  • 00:21:11.379 --> 00:21:12.713
  • "then all this assembly shall know
  • 00:21:12.713 --> 00:21:14.181
  • That the lord does not save,"
  • 00:21:14.181 --> 00:21:15.850
  • With what is visible, "with sword and spear,
  • 00:21:15.850 --> 00:21:18.252
  • For the battle is the lord's, and he will give you
  • 00:21:18.252 --> 00:21:21.922
  • Into our hands."
  • 00:21:21.922 --> 00:21:23.257
  • Right now, memorize this, learn to mutter this.
  • 00:21:23.257 --> 00:21:29.130
  • Before your difficulty, learn to say this under your breath,
  • 00:21:29.130 --> 00:21:32.066
  • The battle is the lord's.
  • 00:21:32.066 --> 00:21:34.402
  • It's not mine, it's not mine, amen?
  • 00:21:34.402 --> 00:21:37.938
  • Amen, are you listening?
  • 00:21:37.938 --> 00:21:39.340
  • But pastor prince, my teenage girl is mixing around
  • 00:21:39.340 --> 00:21:41.976
  • With bad company.
  • 00:21:41.976 --> 00:21:43.344
  • You feel it's your battle, it's not your battle,
  • 00:21:43.344 --> 00:21:45.012
  • Don't touch it.
  • 00:21:45.012 --> 00:21:46.347
  • The battle is the lord's.
  • 00:21:46.347 --> 00:21:47.681
  • Just like the tithe, the tithe is the lord's,
  • 00:21:47.681 --> 00:21:49.383
  • Don't touch it, it belongs to him.
  • 00:21:49.383 --> 00:21:51.118
  • Same way, the battle is not yours to touch.
  • 00:21:51.118 --> 00:21:54.021
  • Amen, your arm is not too great.
  • 00:21:54.021 --> 00:21:56.924
  • Your sight is not that far reaching, amen?
  • 00:21:56.924 --> 00:22:00.461
  • God is stronger, god is greater, god loves you
  • 00:22:00.461 --> 00:22:03.798
  • More than you love yourself.
  • 00:22:03.798 --> 00:22:05.132
  • He loves your teenage daughter more than you can love her.
  • 00:22:05.132 --> 00:22:07.134
  • God is saying, "don't touch the battle, it's mine."
  • 00:22:07.134 --> 00:22:10.004
  • The battle is the lord's.
  • 00:22:10.004 --> 00:22:11.372
  • But pastor prince, david still went to meet the--
  • 00:22:11.372 --> 00:22:13.841
  • Yeah, but how did he go, dressed in an armor?
  • 00:22:13.841 --> 00:22:16.410
  • No, dressed as a shepherd boy.
  • 00:22:16.410 --> 00:22:18.045
  • With a sword?
  • 00:22:18.045 --> 00:22:19.380
  • No, with a sling.
  • 00:22:19.380 --> 00:22:21.715
  • So, obviously he believes this battle is not mine.
  • 00:22:21.715 --> 00:22:24.752
  • The battle is the lord's.
  • 00:22:24.752 --> 00:22:26.454
  • So learn to look at your problems now, and devil said,
  • 00:22:26.454 --> 00:22:29.023
  • "what are you going to do about it?"
  • 00:22:29.023 --> 00:22:30.391
  • He said, "the battle is not mine, it's the lord's."
  • 00:22:30.391 --> 00:22:32.159
  • Lord, this is your battle. lord, this is your battle.
  • 00:22:32.159 --> 00:22:34.762
  • Lord, this is your battle.
  • 00:22:34.762 --> 00:22:36.096
  • Throughout this year, lord, this is your battle.
  • 00:22:36.096 --> 00:22:38.699
  • Now, sometimes it won't be as quick as david's victory,
  • 00:22:38.699 --> 00:22:42.102
  • But the lord is hearing what you're saying,
  • 00:22:42.102 --> 00:22:45.105
  • And the lord loves it.
  • 00:22:45.105 --> 00:22:46.974
  • His arms are bigger than yours. lord, this is your battle.
  • 00:22:46.974 --> 00:22:50.945
  • The battle is the lord's,
  • 00:22:50.945 --> 00:22:53.214
  • Your five words of grace this year, amen?
  • 00:22:53.214 --> 00:22:58.652
  • Announcer: pastor joseph prince will return in a moment
  • 00:23:00.087 --> 00:23:02.490
  • With a special prayer
  • 00:23:02.490 --> 00:23:03.824
  • To close today's program right after this.
