Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Everything You've Heard About The Rapture | March 3, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.820
Joseph prince: the criteria is just, are you born again?
00:00:13.056 --> 00:00:15.024
Are you a believer in christ?
00:00:15.158 --> 00:00:16.793
It's not a matter are you a carnal believer,
00:00:16.926 --> 00:00:18.928
A spiritual believer, a new believer, an old believer,
00:00:19.028 --> 00:00:19.963
Whether you are extra holy compared to other believers.
00:00:22.432 --> 00:00:25.502
No, no, no, there are those who teach that only those
00:00:25.502 --> 00:00:27.971
Who are especially holy, right, those who know
00:00:27.971 --> 00:00:30.773
About the prophetic timetable of god
00:00:30.773 --> 00:00:33.776
Will be the ones who are raptured.
00:00:33.776 --> 00:00:35.111
No, the bible doesn't say that.
00:00:35.111 --> 00:00:36.446
It says we shall all be changed.
00:00:36.446 --> 00:00:37.814
As long as you are born again, when the rapture comes,
00:00:37.814 --> 00:00:42.152
You'll go up.
00:00:42.152 --> 00:00:43.486
Praise the lord, you'll be caught up.
00:00:43.486 --> 00:00:44.854
Who are we meeting?
00:00:44.854 --> 00:00:46.189
Not the judge.
00:00:46.189 --> 00:00:47.524
No, no, no, you're meeting your eternal lover.
00:00:47.524 --> 00:00:50.960
You're meeting your bridegroom.
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.129
You're meeting the wonderful lord jesus christ who saved you
00:00:53.129 --> 00:00:56.733
By his blood, who loves you and loves you still,
00:00:56.733 --> 00:00:59.502
Praise the lord.
00:00:59.502 --> 00:01:00.837
You're meeting him, amen.
00:01:00.837 --> 00:01:02.205
And when you see him, the bible says you'll be transformed.
00:01:02.205 --> 00:01:05.875
All this will happen, as we just read, in a moment,
00:01:05.875 --> 00:01:09.279
In a twinkling of an eye.
00:01:09.279 --> 00:01:10.813
Now you see the twinkle, now you don't.
00:01:10.813 --> 00:01:12.415
That's it, that's how fast it is.
00:01:12.415 --> 00:01:14.384
Death has been conquered.
00:01:14.384 --> 00:01:15.718
When jesus rose from the dead,
00:01:15.718 --> 00:01:17.120
He conquered death for all of us.
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.788
All the enemies that was--
00:01:18.788 --> 00:01:20.557
They were all defeated at the cross.
00:01:20.557 --> 00:01:22.058
Okay, they will not be defeated in the future.
00:01:22.058 --> 00:01:24.527
They've all been defeated at the cross.
00:01:24.527 --> 00:01:26.429
When jesus cried at the cross, "it is finished,"
00:01:26.429 --> 00:01:29.365
It is finished, amen.
00:01:29.365 --> 00:01:31.401
The price was paid at the cross, amen.
00:01:31.401 --> 00:01:34.070
That's redemption by blood, amen.
00:01:34.070 --> 00:01:36.372
But redemption by power will happen established
00:01:36.372 --> 00:01:39.375
Upon the blood, praise the lord.
00:01:39.375 --> 00:01:40.810
It's going to happen in our lifetime.
00:01:40.810 --> 00:01:42.545
I believe it, praise the lord.
00:01:42.545 --> 00:01:44.781
Male announcer: how would you spend today
00:01:44.847 --> 00:01:46.683
If you knew tomorrow was the rapture?
00:01:46.683 --> 00:01:48.551
We've seen enough movies to have an idea,
00:01:48.551 --> 00:01:50.486
But what does the bible really say?
00:01:50.486 --> 00:01:52.655
In today's message, joseph prince
00:01:52.655 --> 00:01:54.757
Unpacks this blessed hope
00:01:54.757 --> 00:01:56.659
And reveals powerful truths about the last days.
00:01:56.659 --> 00:01:59.529
When you think about the rapture, have you ever wondered,
00:01:59.529 --> 00:02:02.265
Will i be left behind?
00:02:02.265 --> 00:02:03.833
Will the end times be filled with fear?
00:02:03.833 --> 00:02:06.769
In his book, "ready for the rapture," joseph reveals
00:02:06.769 --> 00:02:09.472
Why the rapture is not a reason to fear, but a promise of peace,
00:02:09.472 --> 00:02:13.309
Security, hope, and joy in these last days.
00:02:13.309 --> 00:02:16.679
In these pages, discover how to live in hope when the world
00:02:16.679 --> 00:02:19.649
Feels hopeless, walk in confidence when things feel dark
00:02:19.649 --> 00:02:22.919
And uncertain, and shine with the light of christ in a world
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.888
That seems more complex with each passing day.

Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
00:02:57.754 --> 00:03:00.089
With today's program.
00:03:00.089 --> 00:03:01.457
Joseph prince: i'm gonna share with you right now
00:03:01.457 --> 00:03:03.226
That we are waiting, church, as many of you are,
00:03:03.226 --> 00:03:07.096
For the rapture.
00:03:07.096 --> 00:03:08.965
We are waiting now for the rapture, amen.
00:03:08.965 --> 00:03:12.435
And the word rapture is not in the bible, yes,
00:03:12.435 --> 00:03:14.671
But the greek word harpazo is,
00:03:14.671 --> 00:03:16.973
And the word harpazo is the word rapture,
00:03:16.973 --> 00:03:18.941
Which means to seize, catching away of the church,
00:03:18.941 --> 00:03:22.412
Praise the lord.
00:03:22.412 --> 00:03:23.746
And this truth was shared first by paul.
00:03:23.746 --> 00:03:26.115
Now, jesus intimated it actually in the upper room
00:03:26.115 --> 00:03:29.319
When he said this in john 14.
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.788
Jesus says, "let not your heart be troubled;
00:03:31.788 --> 00:03:34.857
You believe in god, believe also in me.
00:03:34.857 --> 00:03:38.094
In my father's house are many mansions;
00:03:38.094 --> 00:03:42.098
If it were not so, i would have told you.
00:03:42.098 --> 00:03:45.401
I go to prepare a place for you.
00:03:45.401 --> 00:03:48.771
And if i go and prepare a place for you,
00:03:48.771 --> 00:03:51.474
I will come again and receive you to myself."
00:03:51.474 --> 00:03:56.045
That's the rapture, there, right there.
00:03:56.045 --> 00:03:59.115
"that where i am, there you may be also."
00:03:59.115 --> 00:04:02.852
Now, it was the apostle paul that elucidated on the rapture,
00:04:02.852 --> 00:04:07.957
And it was the thessalonian christians, right?
00:04:07.957 --> 00:04:11.694
The christians of thessalonica that he first uncovered
00:04:11.694 --> 00:04:16.132
This mystery to.
00:04:16.132 --> 00:04:17.834
Out of all the dark places, god brings forth sweetness.
00:04:17.834 --> 00:04:23.039
God brings forth food.
00:04:23.039 --> 00:04:24.574
And out of the ignorance and the darkness
00:04:24.574 --> 00:04:27.276
That the thessalonians christians
00:04:27.276 --> 00:04:29.445
Were under-- and at that time,
00:04:29.445 --> 00:04:30.913
They were under this--they were ignorant of the fact
00:04:30.913 --> 00:04:32.715
That--they were feeling a sense of despair
00:04:32.715 --> 00:04:35.785
Over their loved ones who have passed on,
00:04:35.785 --> 00:04:38.821
And they felt like they only understood
00:04:38.821 --> 00:04:40.790
About the second coming of christ,
00:04:40.790 --> 00:04:42.725
It was prophesied by isaiah, jeremiah, haggai,
00:04:42.725 --> 00:04:45.895
And all the rest of the prophets in the old testament.
00:04:45.895 --> 00:04:48.364
They only have an idea of that coming, not the rapture.
00:04:48.364 --> 00:04:52.201
And they felt like now their loved ones have passed on,
00:04:52.201 --> 00:04:55.738
That their loved ones will not be part of what god will do,
00:04:55.738 --> 00:04:59.742
Amen, of the bliss and the happiness that jesus will bring.
00:04:59.742 --> 00:05:03.446
And paul, in writing this 1 thessalonians,
00:05:03.446 --> 00:05:06.582
The first letter to the thessalonian christians,
00:05:06.582 --> 00:05:09.318
He dealt with this, and this is what he said.
00:05:09.318 --> 00:05:12.722
"but i do not want you to be ignorant, brethren,
00:05:12.722 --> 00:05:15.391
Concerning those who have fallen asleep,
00:05:15.391 --> 00:05:17.960
Lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:22.198
For if we believe that jesus died and rose again,
00:05:22.198 --> 00:05:25.568
Even so god will bring with him those who sleep in jesus."
00:05:25.568 --> 00:05:29.071
Now, listen to this.
00:05:29.071 --> 00:05:30.406
"for this we say to you by the word of the lord."
00:05:30.406 --> 00:05:32.275
This is not just paul's figment of imagination
00:05:32.275 --> 00:05:36.379
Or his own interpretation of the old testament scriptures.
00:05:36.379 --> 00:05:40.683
This is the word of the lord.
00:05:40.683 --> 00:05:42.385
The authority of god's word is behind the rapture.
00:05:42.385 --> 00:05:45.688
"for this we say to you by the word of the lord,
00:05:45.688 --> 00:05:48.291
That we who are alive and remain until the coming of the lord
00:05:48.291 --> 00:05:53.729
Will by no means precede those who are asleep.
00:05:53.729 --> 00:05:57.266
For the lord himself will descend from heaven
00:05:57.266 --> 00:05:59.502
With a shout, with the voice of an archangel,
00:05:59.502 --> 00:06:02.472
And with the trumpet of god.
00:06:02.472 --> 00:06:04.140
And the dead in christ will rise first.
00:06:04.140 --> 00:06:06.809
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up," harpazo,
00:06:06.809 --> 00:06:11.047
"together with them in the clouds
00:06:11.047 --> 00:06:13.516
To meet the lord in the air.
00:06:13.516 --> 00:06:16.285
And thus we shall always be with the lord.
00:06:16.285 --> 00:06:20.523
Therefore comfort one another with these words."
00:06:20.523 --> 00:06:23.426
Not only that, church,
00:06:23.426 --> 00:06:24.861
The bible says when the rapture happens,
00:06:24.861 --> 00:06:27.230
We'll have a brand new body.
00:06:27.230 --> 00:06:28.898
We're not floating around like spirits, disembodied spirits.
00:06:28.898 --> 00:06:33.035
No, we'll have a brand new body.
00:06:33.035 --> 00:06:34.971
And in philippians chapter 3, this is what paul says
00:06:34.971 --> 00:06:38.207
By the spirit.
00:06:38.207 --> 00:06:39.542
"for our citizenship is in heaven,
00:06:39.542 --> 00:06:40.910
From which we also eagerly wait for the savior,
00:06:40.910 --> 00:06:44.380
The lord jesus christ."
00:06:44.380 --> 00:06:46.315
Notice, church, that the christian position is not
00:06:46.315 --> 00:06:49.752
Looking forward for the grave, not looking forward to die,
00:06:49.752 --> 00:06:53.756
To grow old and die, okay?
00:06:53.756 --> 00:06:56.425
The christian position here is very clear,
00:06:56.425 --> 00:06:58.828
"from which we also eagerly wait," for what?
00:06:58.828 --> 00:07:01.597
"for the savior, the lord jesus christ,
00:07:01.597 --> 00:07:04.033
Who will transform our lowly body
00:07:04.033 --> 00:07:07.670
That it may be conformed to his glorious body."
00:07:07.670 --> 00:07:12.441
And his glorious body will never grow old,
00:07:12.441 --> 00:07:15.311
His glorious body is not subject to sickness
00:07:15.311 --> 00:07:17.813
Or disease, his glorious body can transcend time and space,
00:07:17.813 --> 00:07:22.151
It can appear and disappear and it can appear far away.
00:07:22.151 --> 00:07:26.956
It transcends time and space.
00:07:26.956 --> 00:07:30.459
"according to the working by which he is able
00:07:30.459 --> 00:07:33.462
Even to subdue all things to himself," hallelujah.
00:07:33.462 --> 00:07:38.401
And it says again in 1 corinthians 15,
00:07:38.401 --> 00:07:41.003
"behold, i show you a mystery."
00:07:41.003 --> 00:07:43.739
The rapture is a mystery.
00:07:43.739 --> 00:07:45.508
You know, people say things like, you know,
00:07:45.508 --> 00:07:46.909
"the rapture is a new teaching,"
00:07:46.909 --> 00:07:49.478
And hey, even from the time of matthew henry,
00:07:49.478 --> 00:07:53.749
The great commentator, he talked about the rapture, amen.
00:07:53.749 --> 00:07:56.552
The rapture has been uncovered.
00:07:56.552 --> 00:07:58.988
But you know, you don't have to refer to this theologian
00:07:58.988 --> 00:08:01.324
Or this commentator and all that.
00:08:01.324 --> 00:08:03.025
You just go to the word of god.
00:08:03.025 --> 00:08:04.360
What you just read just now, is this the rapture or not?
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.163
It didn't say that we have to wait for the antichrist
00:08:07.163 --> 00:08:09.832
To appear, then we who are alive will be caught up together
00:08:09.832 --> 00:08:12.635
To meet the lord in the air.
00:08:12.635 --> 00:08:14.470
In fact, the rapture is a mystery.
00:08:14.470 --> 00:08:16.672
In that sense, mystery in the new testament,
00:08:16.672 --> 00:08:19.475
Whenever paul talks about the mystery,
00:08:19.475 --> 00:08:21.744
When mystery is mentioned in the new testament,
00:08:21.744 --> 00:08:23.512
It's the word musterion.
00:08:23.512 --> 00:08:25.581
It means something that was kept secret,
00:08:25.581 --> 00:08:28.784
Something that was kept hidden in god but is now revealed.
00:08:28.784 --> 00:08:33.689
Something that was kept hidden but is now revealed.
00:08:33.689 --> 00:08:36.425
So, the rapture is one of the mysteries
00:08:36.425 --> 00:08:38.694
That was kept hidden in god.
00:08:38.694 --> 00:08:40.129
In other words, you cannot find the rapture
00:08:40.129 --> 00:08:42.098
In the old testament.
00:08:42.098 --> 00:08:43.666
You can find examples of it, but not the teaching of it.
00:08:43.666 --> 00:08:46.335
Isaiah didn't prophesy about the rapture.
00:08:46.335 --> 00:08:48.671
Haggai didn't mention about it.
00:08:48.671 --> 00:08:50.706
All right, all the prophets, joel and all that,
00:08:50.706 --> 00:08:52.475
They never talk about it.
00:08:52.475 --> 00:08:53.976
Okay, so it's not taught in the old testament.
00:08:53.976 --> 00:08:57.413
It was hidden from them, amen, but it's now revealed.
00:08:57.413 --> 00:09:01.283
Now, the reality of rapture was in the old testament, okay?
00:09:01.283 --> 00:09:06.622
It was, "enoch walked with god: and enoch was not."
00:09:06.622 --> 00:09:10.693
He was translated, amen.
00:09:10.693 --> 00:09:13.095
He was--god just caught him off, amen, caught him away,
00:09:13.095 --> 00:09:16.799
Praise the lord.
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.234
And elijah is another one.
00:09:18.234 --> 00:09:19.602
The bible says elijah was translated without seeing death.
00:09:19.602 --> 00:09:24.106
Amen, the chariot of fire came, and he was translated,
00:09:24.106 --> 00:09:27.143
Just like that.
00:09:27.143 --> 00:09:28.477
So, the reality of rapture was already there
00:09:28.477 --> 00:09:31.514
In the old testament, but the teaching wasn't.
00:09:31.514 --> 00:09:34.583
So, the mystery is now revealed.
00:09:34.583 --> 00:09:37.253
And this is what paul says in 1 corinthians 15.
00:09:37.253 --> 00:09:39.789
"behold, i tell you a mystery."
00:09:39.789 --> 00:09:41.991
Again a mystery is something previously hidden,
00:09:41.991 --> 00:09:44.593
But it's now revealed.
00:09:44.593 --> 00:09:46.328
"we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed."
00:09:46.328 --> 00:09:50.399
When the bible talks about sleep,
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:51.734
It means to pass away, okay?
00:09:51.734 --> 00:09:53.569
To die.
00:09:53.569 --> 00:09:54.904
But believers don't die, you see, so we fall asleep.
00:09:54.904 --> 00:09:57.940
It's like falling asleep.
00:09:57.940 --> 00:09:59.275
Believers, the sting of death is gone for the believer.
00:09:59.275 --> 00:10:02.144
"we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed--
00:10:02.144 --> 00:10:05.748
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
00:10:05.748 --> 00:10:10.619
For the trumpet will sound,
00:10:10.619 --> 00:10:12.021
And the dead will be raised incorruptible,
00:10:12.021 --> 00:10:15.257
And we shall be changed."
00:10:15.257 --> 00:10:17.526
Notice that for the rapture, there are those who teach
00:10:17.526 --> 00:10:20.563
That it's a partial rapture.
00:10:20.563 --> 00:10:22.498
Some believers will be raptured, some won't,
00:10:22.498 --> 00:10:24.867
Some will be left behind.
00:10:24.867 --> 00:10:26.202
But notice here in this verse 51,
00:10:26.202 --> 00:10:28.170
It says, "we shall all," all, "be changed," all.
00:10:28.170 --> 00:10:33.909
The criteria is just, are you born again?
00:10:33.909 --> 00:10:35.978
Are you a believer in christ?
00:10:35.978 --> 00:10:37.813
It's not a matter are you a carnal believer,
00:10:37.813 --> 00:10:39.949
A spiritual believer, a new believer, an old believer,
00:10:39.949 --> 00:10:43.552
Whether you are extra holy compared to other believers.
00:10:43.552 --> 00:10:46.288
No, no, no, there are those who teach
00:10:46.288 --> 00:10:47.823
That only those who are especially holy, right,
00:10:47.823 --> 00:10:50.926
Those who know about the prophetic timetable of god
00:10:50.926 --> 00:10:54.764
Will be the ones who are raptured.
00:10:54.764 --> 00:10:56.098
No, the bible doesn't say that.
00:10:56.098 --> 00:10:57.433
It says we shall all be changed, okay?
00:10:57.433 --> 00:11:00.136
The only criteria is that you are born again, okay?
00:11:00.136 --> 00:11:03.072
Just like a magnet.
00:11:03.072 --> 00:11:04.640
If you put, you know, paper clips that are metallic
00:11:04.640 --> 00:11:09.812
And you put toothpicks,
00:11:09.812 --> 00:11:11.280
You break them into pieces and you put them
00:11:11.280 --> 00:11:13.249
Amongst the paper clip and the magnet comes down,
00:11:13.249 --> 00:11:16.452
Which one will it attract?
00:11:16.452 --> 00:11:17.887
It will attract all the metal clips, right?
00:11:17.887 --> 00:11:21.023
Because why?
00:11:21.023 --> 00:11:22.424
Metal.
00:11:22.424 --> 00:11:23.759
Now, there could be an old metal, some a new metal,
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.861
Some a rusty metal, some a shiny metal,
00:11:25.861 --> 00:11:29.665
Doesn't really matter.
00:11:29.665 --> 00:11:31.000
Some are crooked and bent out of shape.
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:32.935
As long as it is metal and it's not wood.
00:11:32.935 --> 00:11:36.105
So, wood there represents sinners, but believers,
00:11:36.105 --> 00:11:40.409
It's like that metal.
00:11:40.409 --> 00:11:41.777
As long as you are born again, when the rapture comes,
00:11:41.777 --> 00:11:45.881
You'll go up, praise the lord.
00:11:45.881 --> 00:11:47.616
You'll be caught up.
00:11:47.616 --> 00:11:49.118
First of all, god transforms your body, amen.
00:11:49.118 --> 00:11:51.187
Your lowly body, that body that is subject to decay,
00:11:51.187 --> 00:11:54.123
To destruction, like unto his glorious body.
00:11:54.123 --> 00:11:58.093
When you think about the lord's body,
00:11:58.093 --> 00:11:59.595
Wow, praise the lord.
00:11:59.595 --> 00:12:01.197
It's a glorious body when he rose from the dead.
00:12:01.197 --> 00:12:03.532
And he can, you know, appear and then disappear,
00:12:03.532 --> 00:12:07.503
Which means what?
00:12:07.503 --> 00:12:08.838
It's faster than the speed of light, amen.
00:12:08.838 --> 00:12:10.706
And the whole universe is your playground, praise the lord.
00:12:10.706 --> 00:12:13.609
And you'll never tire, you'll never be sick again,
00:12:13.609 --> 00:12:16.846
You'll never feel bored again, and you'll stay young and strong
00:12:16.846 --> 00:12:20.783
And powerful and energetic forever.
00:12:20.783 --> 00:12:25.387
Forever is a long time, folks.
00:12:25.387 --> 00:12:27.256
Praise the lord.
00:12:27.256 --> 00:12:28.657
Ah, the rapture.
00:12:28.657 --> 00:12:30.025
Anytime it can happen, all right?
00:12:30.025 --> 00:12:31.393
You know, the rapture is not subject
00:12:31.393 --> 00:12:33.195
To the fulfillment of any bible prophecy.
00:12:33.195 --> 00:12:36.465
No, in fact, that is the second coming of christ, amen?
00:12:36.465 --> 00:12:39.869
These are two separate things.
00:12:39.869 --> 00:12:41.570
But for the rapture, it's not dependent
00:12:41.570 --> 00:12:43.472
Upon the fulfillment of any bible prophecy.
00:12:43.472 --> 00:12:46.842
It can happen anytime.
00:12:46.842 --> 00:12:48.611
Anytime it can happen, praise the lord.
00:12:48.611 --> 00:12:51.247
And all of us have this sensing in our hearts, believers.
00:12:51.247 --> 00:12:55.417
No one knows the day, nor the hour,
00:12:55.417 --> 00:12:56.886
But we all can sense, like, anytime, soon, soon, soon.
00:12:56.886 --> 00:13:01.824
There must be that sense, because in the parable
00:13:01.824 --> 00:13:03.826
Of the ten virgins, it talks about the cry going forth.
00:13:03.826 --> 00:13:07.162
"behold, go you out to meet your bridegroom," remember?
00:13:07.162 --> 00:13:10.933
And all of them woke up, right?
00:13:10.933 --> 00:13:12.902
And they were aware of that cry.
00:13:12.902 --> 00:13:14.236
So, before you meet the bridegroom, there is a cry.
00:13:14.236 --> 00:13:17.206
And i want to be one of the voices that cry out,
00:13:17.206 --> 00:13:19.975
"behold, go forth to meet your bridegroom."
00:13:19.975 --> 00:13:23.178
So, you have a sense your bridegroom is coming
00:13:23.178 --> 00:13:24.813
And who are we meeting?
00:13:24.813 --> 00:13:26.282
Not a judge, no, no, no.
00:13:26.282 --> 00:13:28.417
You are meeting your eternal lover.
00:13:28.417 --> 00:13:31.120
You are meeting your bridegroom.
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.289
You are meeting the wonderful lord jesus christ who saved you
00:13:33.289 --> 00:13:36.692
By his blood, who loves you and loves you still,
00:13:36.692 --> 00:13:39.361
Praise the lord.
00:13:39.361 --> 00:13:40.796
You're meeting him, amen.
00:13:40.796 --> 00:13:42.231
And when you see him, the bible says you'll be transformed.
00:13:42.231 --> 00:13:46.035
All this will happen, as we just read, in a moment,
00:13:46.035 --> 00:13:49.271
In a twinkling of an eye.
00:13:49.271 --> 00:13:51.173
Now you see the twinkle, now you don't.
00:13:51.173 --> 00:13:52.675
That's it, that's how fast it is.
00:13:52.675 --> 00:13:55.277
And the world won't see this happen.
00:13:55.277 --> 00:13:56.979
Like we read just now, we'll meet the lord where?
00:13:56.979 --> 00:13:59.381
In the air.
00:13:59.381 --> 00:14:01.216
We'll be walking on air, praise the lord.
00:14:01.216 --> 00:14:03.385
We will meet the lord in the air,
00:14:03.385 --> 00:14:05.354
And so shall we ever be with the lord.
00:14:05.354 --> 00:14:07.556
And then we also read that when that happens,
00:14:07.556 --> 00:14:10.059
He will transform our lowly bodies
00:14:10.059 --> 00:14:11.894
Like unto his glorious body.
00:14:11.894 --> 00:14:13.329
Oh man, look at that believer, that christian
00:14:13.329 --> 00:14:16.699
Who is lying in the hospital.
00:14:16.699 --> 00:14:19.702
He hardly can talk.
00:14:19.702 --> 00:14:21.036
His body is wracked with pain.
00:14:21.036 --> 00:14:22.771
He has that disease.
00:14:22.771 --> 00:14:24.106
The doctor says he has only a few weeks to live.
00:14:24.106 --> 00:14:26.942
Look at him right now.
00:14:26.942 --> 00:14:28.377
He's just, you know, like, bones and--flesh and bones,
00:14:28.377 --> 00:14:32.848
That's all.
00:14:32.848 --> 00:14:34.283
And you look at him and you think to yourself,
00:14:34.283 --> 00:14:35.818
"that's so sad.
00:14:35.818 --> 00:14:37.252
It's so sad to see someone like that."
00:14:37.252 --> 00:14:38.654
But when the rapture sounds, if it sounds, the next moment,
00:14:38.654 --> 00:14:42.024
You look at that same person,
00:14:42.024 --> 00:14:43.359
And he has a glorious body, hallelujah.
00:14:43.359 --> 00:14:45.461
Oh, come, lord jesus christ, hallelujah.
00:14:45.461 --> 00:14:48.330
You look at that person in the psychiatric hospital.
00:14:48.330 --> 00:14:50.432
He has lost his senses.
00:14:50.432 --> 00:14:52.101
He doesn't even know who he is or where he is,
00:14:52.101 --> 00:14:54.303
But he's a believer.
00:14:54.303 --> 00:14:56.071
Once upon a time, you know, there was a time
00:14:56.071 --> 00:14:57.940
When he had his possession of all his senses,
00:14:57.940 --> 00:15:00.943
But now, he's lying down there on the bed,
00:15:00.943 --> 00:15:04.079
Hardly recognizing anyone,
00:15:04.079 --> 00:15:05.547
But when the rapture hits,
00:15:05.547 --> 00:15:07.416
Look at that man.
00:15:07.416 --> 00:15:08.751
He will rise with a new body, with a new mind, hallelujah,
00:15:08.751 --> 00:15:13.088
Praise the lord.
00:15:13.088 --> 00:15:14.556
All that jesus accomplished at the cross for us, hallelujah.
00:15:14.556 --> 00:15:18.394
Even so, come, lord jesus, amen.
00:15:18.394 --> 00:15:20.996
Aren't you looking forward for the rapture?
00:15:20.996 --> 00:15:23.499
Praise the lord.
00:15:23.499 --> 00:15:24.833
Now, like i said just now, when the rapture happens,
00:15:24.833 --> 00:15:27.202
Our mortality--all right, let's continue reading
00:15:27.202 --> 00:15:29.805
1 corinthians 15.
00:15:29.805 --> 00:15:31.640
"for this corruptible must put on incorruption,"
00:15:31.640 --> 00:15:34.443
So this corruptible body must put on incorruptible body.
00:15:34.443 --> 00:15:38.313
"and this mortal body must put on immortality," hallelujah.
00:15:38.313 --> 00:15:43.385
Immortality is going to happen at the rapture.
00:15:43.385 --> 00:15:46.388
So, when this corruptible has put on incorruption
00:15:46.388 --> 00:15:49.658
And this mortal has put on immortality,
00:15:49.658 --> 00:15:52.428
"then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written:
00:15:52.428 --> 00:15:55.697
'death is swallowed up in victory,'"
00:15:55.697 --> 00:15:58.667
Hallelujah, praise the name of jesus, amen?
00:15:58.667 --> 00:16:02.404
Death has been conquered.
00:16:02.404 --> 00:16:04.073
When jesus rose from the dead,
00:16:04.073 --> 00:16:05.641
He conquered death for all of us.
00:16:05.641 --> 00:16:07.443
But in actuality, just like the enemies
00:16:07.443 --> 00:16:10.079
Back in the old testament, when they were defeated,
00:16:10.079 --> 00:16:14.183
The fact that they were defeated is an accomplished reality,
00:16:14.183 --> 00:16:17.953
But then they are brought right under the feet of the king,
00:16:17.953 --> 00:16:22.091
And the king will place his feet upon the neck of the enemies,
00:16:22.091 --> 00:16:27.529
Like a footstool.
00:16:27.529 --> 00:16:28.864
The father said to the lord jesus, "'sit on my right hand,
00:16:28.864 --> 00:16:32.534
Until i make your enemies your footstool.'"
00:16:32.534 --> 00:16:35.537
In other words, when all the enemies that was--
00:16:35.537 --> 00:16:37.940
They were all defeated at the cross, don't misunderstand.
00:16:37.940 --> 00:16:40.776
Okay, they will not be defeated in the future.
00:16:40.776 --> 00:16:43.212
They've all been defeated at the cross.
00:16:43.212 --> 00:16:45.180
When jesus cried at the cross, "it is finished,"
00:16:45.180 --> 00:16:47.916
It is finished, amen.
00:16:47.916 --> 00:16:50.252
But the reality of it, the experience of it
00:16:50.252 --> 00:16:54.456
Will happen fully when he brings all these enemies
00:16:54.456 --> 00:16:58.393
Under the feet of jesus, hallelujah.
00:16:58.393 --> 00:17:01.063
But with every passing day-- i love to say this.
00:17:01.063 --> 00:17:04.466
If you think about it, amen,
00:17:04.466 --> 00:17:06.301
Just have this godly reasoning, amen.
00:17:06.301 --> 00:17:09.571
If the bible says the last enemy that will be put under
00:17:09.571 --> 00:17:13.041
Jesus's feet is death, and the context there is physical death,
00:17:13.041 --> 00:17:18.313
That means what?
00:17:18.313 --> 00:17:19.648
With every passing day, another enemy is put under his feet.
00:17:19.648 --> 00:17:24.153
Another enemy is put under his feet, amen.
00:17:24.153 --> 00:17:26.788
The price was paid at the cross, amen.
00:17:26.788 --> 00:17:29.324
That's redemption by blood, amen.
00:17:29.324 --> 00:17:31.660
But redemption by power will happen established
00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:34.596
Upon the blood, praise the lord.
00:17:34.596 --> 00:17:36.064
It's going to happen in our lifetime.
00:17:36.064 --> 00:17:37.833
I believe it, praise the lord.
00:17:37.833 --> 00:17:39.535
And one more enemy comes in, amen.
00:17:39.535 --> 00:17:44.106
Another enemy, depression.
00:17:44.106 --> 00:17:45.841
All kinds of enemies that the devil has launched
00:17:45.841 --> 00:17:49.211
Against mankind ever since adam fell,
00:17:49.211 --> 00:17:52.481
All that has been conquered at the cross
00:17:52.481 --> 00:17:54.249
That jesus finished when he cried, "it is finished,"
00:17:54.249 --> 00:17:56.785
Will all be brought under his feet.
00:17:56.785 --> 00:17:59.021
And don't forget, we are the body of christ,
00:17:59.021 --> 00:18:02.291
So it comes under our feet, and we will triumph over it.
00:18:02.291 --> 00:18:06.595
We are in christ, "far above all principality, and power, might,
00:18:06.595 --> 00:18:10.499
And dominion, and over every name that is named,
00:18:10.499 --> 00:18:14.002
Not only in this world,
00:18:14.002 --> 00:18:15.370
But also in that which is to come," hallelujah.
00:18:15.370 --> 00:18:17.906
To god be the glory, praise the lord.
00:18:17.906 --> 00:18:20.809
Praise god, hallelujah.
00:18:20.809 --> 00:18:22.411
And the good news is that god is not mad at you.
00:18:22.411 --> 00:18:25.013
God is--god wants to reconcile you, amen.
00:18:25.013 --> 00:18:28.217
And in the father's house there's bread enough
00:18:28.217 --> 00:18:31.386
And to spare.
00:18:31.386 --> 00:18:32.821
There's all kinds of goodness and blessings.
00:18:32.821 --> 00:18:34.957
At his right hand are pleasures forevermore, amen.
00:18:34.957 --> 00:18:38.260
In his presence fullness of joy, hallelujah.
00:18:38.260 --> 00:18:41.263
God wants to bring you into all this, amen.
00:18:41.263 --> 00:18:44.032
You, moody, frustrated, angry, bitter, unbeliever, amen,
00:18:44.032 --> 00:18:51.840
God wants to invite you into the presence of his son,
00:18:51.840 --> 00:18:56.578
Who gave his life for you, who loves you right now.
00:18:56.578 --> 00:18:59.982
In spite of all your sins, god has never stopped loving you.
00:18:59.982 --> 00:19:04.453
And god is saying, "come home.
00:19:04.453 --> 00:19:06.054
Come home, let me fill your heart with my love,
00:19:06.054 --> 00:19:08.056
Joy, and peace."
00:19:08.056 --> 00:19:09.491
Praise the lord, thank you, jesus, amen.
00:19:09.491 --> 00:19:11.760
Just send a link, send a link, amen,
00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:13.762
Send the gospel via link, amen.
00:19:13.762 --> 00:19:16.431
Send it to this person that you're thinking about,
00:19:16.431 --> 00:19:18.767
Somebody that god lays on your heart, send it to them, amen.
00:19:18.767 --> 00:19:21.670
Now, just at the touch of their finger,
00:19:21.670 --> 00:19:24.006
God allows all these witty inventions
00:19:24.006 --> 00:19:28.343
And all that for social media and all that.
00:19:28.343 --> 00:19:31.280
Regardless of who starts it, god works everything out.
00:19:31.280 --> 00:19:33.782
God brings something sweet out of the strong,
00:19:33.782 --> 00:19:36.251
Something that can feed you out of the ether, amen,
00:19:36.251 --> 00:19:39.421
So that we can all hear the gospel of jesus christ.
00:19:39.421 --> 00:19:42.658
So right now, you can send a link and let people
00:19:42.658 --> 00:19:45.260
Who need jesus hear in the comfort of their homes,
00:19:45.260 --> 00:19:49.631
Right where they are,
00:19:49.631 --> 00:19:51.600
Right where they are, the gospel has come.
00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:54.736
So friend, get involved in evangelink, amen,
00:19:54.736 --> 00:19:58.540
Or you can just share.
00:19:58.540 --> 00:19:59.941
You got a chance to share?
00:19:59.941 --> 00:20:01.343
Share the gospel.
00:20:01.343 --> 00:20:02.678
What you learn, even down here, what you learn about the gospel,
00:20:02.678 --> 00:20:04.646
Share with them, amen.
00:20:04.646 --> 00:20:06.748
All it takes is for them to turn their hearts towards the lord
00:20:06.748 --> 00:20:09.785
And they'll be saved, amen?
00:20:09.785 --> 00:20:11.687
Hallelujah, i pray that this has blessed you, friend.
00:20:11.687 --> 00:20:14.790
And i know that god wants your life to be filled with love,
00:20:14.790 --> 00:20:18.193
Joy, and peace, because these wrong,
00:20:18.193 --> 00:20:20.062
Erroneous ideas about the end times
00:20:20.062 --> 00:20:22.197
Will cause your heart to be filled with fear
00:20:22.197 --> 00:20:24.232
And dread, and god doesn't want that for his children.
00:20:24.232 --> 00:20:27.402
God's dear people, amen, must always be in the place
00:20:27.402 --> 00:20:31.673
Where they are--they know they are favored.
00:20:31.673 --> 00:20:34.309
Their hearts are full of love and joy unspeakable, amen,
00:20:34.309 --> 00:20:38.280
Knowing goodness and mercy is following them.
00:20:38.280 --> 00:20:41.083
Underneath are the everlasting arms of god, amen,
00:20:41.083 --> 00:20:44.453
And the hand of the father covers them.
00:20:44.453 --> 00:20:46.388
They are safe, and no one can snatch you out of his hand,
00:20:46.388 --> 00:20:49.057
Praise the lord.
00:20:49.057 --> 00:20:50.559
You're safe and secure in christ.
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:52.861
Friend, if you've never made jesus christ
00:20:52.861 --> 00:20:55.330
Your personal lord and savior,
00:20:55.330 --> 00:20:57.466
I'd like to invite you right now to be reconciled to god, amen.
00:20:57.466 --> 00:21:02.704
He loves you, he knows all about your sins,
00:21:02.704 --> 00:21:05.207
And he has made provision for your sins at the cross.
00:21:05.207 --> 00:21:08.443
Jesus died for your sins.
00:21:08.443 --> 00:21:10.011
That's how much he loves you.
00:21:10.011 --> 00:21:11.546
He took upon himself the burden of your sins and became himself
00:21:11.546 --> 00:21:16.318
Liable for your sins so that you will not become liable, amen.
00:21:16.318 --> 00:21:21.556
He took your place.
00:21:21.556 --> 00:21:23.058
Now that god's judgment fell upon him because he was carrying
00:21:23.058 --> 00:21:26.395
Your sins and my sins, god's judgment can never,
00:21:26.395 --> 00:21:30.165
Ever fall on you if you believe what christ has done,
00:21:30.165 --> 00:21:33.902
Or else it will be a miscarriage of justice on god's part.
00:21:33.902 --> 00:21:37.205
So, god ordained these to be so so that god is righteous
00:21:37.205 --> 00:21:41.109
In making you righteous today.
00:21:41.109 --> 00:21:42.878
Friend, believe on the lord jesus christ
00:21:42.878 --> 00:21:44.946
And you'll be saved, praise the lord.
00:21:44.946 --> 00:21:47.115
Pray this prayer with me.
00:21:47.115 --> 00:21:48.450
If that is you, wherever you are right now,
00:21:48.450 --> 00:21:49.785
Pray this prayer with me.
00:21:49.785 --> 00:21:51.319
Say, heavenly father, i thank you for the gift of your son,
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:55.791
My lord and savior, jesus christ.
00:21:55.791 --> 00:21:58.326
Thank you, father, that you raised him from the dead
00:21:58.326 --> 00:22:02.164
When i was acquitted in him.
00:22:02.164 --> 00:22:05.100
Thank you, father, that i am now the righteousness of god
00:22:05.100 --> 00:22:08.303
In christ because jesus christ is my lord and my savior.
00:22:08.303 --> 00:22:13.809
And from now on, goodness and mercy follows me
00:22:13.809 --> 00:22:18.747
All the days of my life
00:22:18.747 --> 00:22:20.749
Until i dwell in the house of the lord forever.
00:22:20.749 --> 00:22:23.485
In jesus's name, amen.
00:22:23.485 --> 00:22:26.755
Welcome to the family of god.
00:22:26.755 --> 00:22:29.491
Welcome to the father's house.
00:22:29.491 --> 00:22:31.626
From this day on, god will never deal with you based on sin.
00:22:31.626 --> 00:22:36.364
God will deal with you based on his son, amen.
00:22:36.364 --> 00:22:39.868
And i'm telling you, god deals with you based on his son,
00:22:39.868 --> 00:22:42.637
All blessings, amen, all blessings are yours,
00:22:42.637 --> 00:22:46.274
Praise the lord.
00:22:46.274 --> 00:22:48.610

Joseph prince: church, stand to your feet,

Hallelujah, if you can, amen.
00:23:22.110 --> 00:23:26.014
Hold the hands of your loved ones, if your partner is there.

You're gonna believe god for a blessed week, amen.
00:23:29.818 --> 00:23:33.522
We know that as we take one step out,
00:23:33.522 --> 00:23:36.658
We do not know what's going to happen in the future.
00:23:36.658 --> 00:23:38.593
But with our hand in his hand, amen, our eyes upon him,
00:23:38.593 --> 00:23:42.697
He knows the way long before us.
00:23:42.697 --> 00:23:44.699
There's a verse that says, "he goes before us
00:23:44.699 --> 00:23:46.501
And prepares the way.
00:23:46.501 --> 00:23:47.836
He makes the crooked places straight,"
00:23:47.836 --> 00:23:50.171
So we felt like as if, you know, we are walking easy.
00:23:50.171 --> 00:23:53.275
We are walking light and free, praise the lord, amen.
00:23:53.275 --> 00:23:55.911
So, let's believe god for this coming week, amen.
00:23:55.911 --> 00:23:58.914
This coming week, the father in heaven himself
00:23:58.914 --> 00:24:02.417
Who loves you grant you a blessed week,
00:24:02.417 --> 00:24:06.354

For god has promised that no evil will befall you,
00:24:15.697 --> 00:24:19.634
