  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.819
  • Joseph prince: if there's one key principle that the bible
  • 00:00:13.055 --> 00:00:16.225
  • Says will cause you to prosper in all things,
  • 00:00:16.358 --> 00:00:20.729
  • What is that key principle?
  • 00:00:20.863 --> 00:00:23.031
  • And would you do it? we found it is meditation.
  • 00:00:23.165 --> 00:00:23.999
  • When god says, "this book of the law should not depart from your
  • 00:00:26.401 --> 00:00:29.538
  • Mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night," what's going
  • 00:00:29.538 --> 00:00:33.242
  • To happen?
  • 00:00:33.242 --> 00:00:34.576
  • "he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that
  • 00:00:34.576 --> 00:00:37.212
  • Brings forth his fruit in his season.
  • 00:00:37.212 --> 00:00:39.081
  • His leaf, his health, also will not wither.
  • 00:00:39.081 --> 00:00:42.151
  • And whatever he doeth," if god says whatever, it is whatever.
  • 00:00:42.151 --> 00:00:47.823
  • Don't let man qualify it.
  • 00:00:47.823 --> 00:00:49.424
  • "and whatever he doeth shall prosper."
  • 00:00:49.424 --> 00:00:53.595
  • Just meditate.
  • 00:00:53.595 --> 00:00:55.364
  • "whatever he doeth shall prosper."
  • 00:00:55.364 --> 00:00:57.599
  • Male announcer: are you trusting the lord for healing in your
  • 00:00:59.001 --> 00:01:01.036
  • Body or for someone you love?
  • 00:01:01.036 --> 00:01:02.905
  • In today's message, joseph prince opens
  • 00:01:02.905 --> 00:01:05.107
  • The scriptures to reveal how god's healing power is still
  • 00:01:05.107 --> 00:01:08.443
  • Touching real people in real need, right now.
  • 00:01:08.443 --> 00:01:12.314
  • Healing, restoration, miracles.
  • 00:01:12.314 --> 00:01:15.817
  • From genesis to revelation, the bible is filled with stories
  • 00:01:15.817 --> 00:01:19.555
  • Of god healing, restoring, and bringing wholeness
  • 00:01:19.555 --> 00:01:22.524
  • To his people.
  • 00:01:22.524 --> 00:01:24.026
  • And here's the good news, the same god who performed
  • 00:01:24.026 --> 00:01:26.562
  • These miracles is still healing today.
  • 00:01:26.562 --> 00:01:29.698
  • In his book, "healing miracles from the scriptures,"
  • 00:01:29.698 --> 00:01:32.267
  • Joseph prince brings together powerful healing accounts
  • 00:01:32.267 --> 00:01:34.970
  • From across the bible.
  • 00:01:34.970 --> 00:01:36.638

  • And now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:02:07.669 --> 00:02:09.571
  • With today's program.
  • 00:02:09.571 --> 00:02:11.306
  • Joseph prince: i want to share with you on studying the bible
  • 00:02:11.373 --> 00:02:14.209
  • As i've already been doing.
  • 00:02:14.209 --> 00:02:16.878
  • Everything in the word of god is significant.
  • 00:02:16.878 --> 00:02:18.780
  • And paul said this in 1 timothy chapter 4:
  • 00:02:18.780 --> 00:02:23.452
  • "meditate upon these things;
  • 00:02:23.452 --> 00:02:24.886
  • Give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may
  • 00:02:24.886 --> 00:02:29.358
  • Appear to all."
  • 00:02:29.358 --> 00:02:30.892
  • "meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them;
  • 00:02:30.892 --> 00:02:35.564
  • That your profiting, thy profiting may appear to all."
  • 00:02:35.564 --> 00:02:40.202
  • This is the old king james version.
  • 00:02:40.202 --> 00:02:41.536
  • I love to memorize my bible from the old king james version,
  • 00:02:41.536 --> 00:02:46.341
  • All right?
  • 00:02:46.341 --> 00:02:47.676
  • I still love the beauty of the language.
  • 00:02:47.676 --> 00:02:51.046
  • "meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them."
  • 00:02:51.046 --> 00:02:54.182
  • Give yourself completely to it.
  • 00:02:54.182 --> 00:02:55.984
  • Devote yourself to it.
  • 00:02:55.984 --> 00:02:57.686
  • "that your profiting," now how many of you like profiting?
  • 00:02:57.686 --> 00:03:01.390
  • "may appear to all."
  • 00:03:01.390 --> 00:03:02.758
  • If there is one key principle that the bible says will cause
  • 00:03:02.758 --> 00:03:06.662
  • You to prosper in all things, what is that key principle?
  • 00:03:06.662 --> 00:03:12.768
  • And would you do it?
  • 00:03:12.768 --> 00:03:14.803
  • We found it is meditation.
  • 00:03:14.803 --> 00:03:18.006
  • God told joshua, amen, and again, after the previous
  • 00:03:18.006 --> 00:03:23.278
  • Chapter says he was full of the spirit of wisdom, yet god says
  • 00:03:23.278 --> 00:03:26.982
  • This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth.
  • 00:03:26.982 --> 00:03:30.819
  • Some people say, i just ask god for wisdom and that's all
  • 00:03:30.819 --> 00:03:33.322
  • I need.
  • 00:03:33.322 --> 00:03:35.290
  • No!
  • 00:03:35.290 --> 00:03:36.625
  • In fact, people who are filled with wisdom see the need
  • 00:03:36.625 --> 00:03:38.627
  • For the word, amen.
  • 00:03:38.627 --> 00:03:40.629
  • And the very fact god says, "this book of the law shall not
  • 00:03:40.629 --> 00:03:43.098
  • Depart," that means he was reading the bible when god
  • 00:03:43.098 --> 00:03:45.200
  • Says--he was reading the scroll when god says, "this book of
  • 00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:48.804
  • The law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall
  • 00:03:48.804 --> 00:03:52.841
  • Meditate in it day and night."
  • 00:03:52.841 --> 00:03:54.176
  • What's going to happen?
  • 00:03:54.176 --> 00:03:55.544
  • He shall make your way prosperous.
  • 00:03:55.544 --> 00:03:56.878
  • You shall have good success.
  • 00:03:56.878 --> 00:03:59.548
  • Psalms 1, we find out what?
  • 00:03:59.548 --> 00:04:01.249
  • "in his law doth he meditate, in god's word does he meditate day
  • 00:04:01.249 --> 00:04:04.586
  • And night, and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers
  • 00:04:04.586 --> 00:04:07.789
  • Of water that brings forth his fruit in his season.
  • 00:04:07.789 --> 00:04:10.459
  • His leaf, his health, also will not wither and whatever
  • 00:04:10.459 --> 00:04:14.896
  • He doeth."
  • 00:04:14.896 --> 00:04:16.598
  • If god says whatever, it is whatever.
  • 00:04:16.598 --> 00:04:19.568
  • Don't let man qualify it.
  • 00:04:19.568 --> 00:04:21.103
  • "and whatever he doeth shall prosper."
  • 00:04:21.103 --> 00:04:25.407
  • Just meditate.
  • 00:04:25.407 --> 00:04:26.775
  • "whatever he doeth shall prosper."
  • 00:04:26.775 --> 00:04:28.810
  • New testament counterpart: "meditate upon these things;
  • 00:04:28.810 --> 00:04:32.247
  • Give yourself wholly to them; that your profiting may appear
  • 00:04:32.247 --> 00:04:36.585
  • To all."
  • 00:04:36.585 --> 00:04:38.353
  • It will appear to all.
  • 00:04:38.353 --> 00:04:41.223
  • Now this word here, "may appear to all," in some versions like
  • 00:04:41.223 --> 00:04:47.028
  • Young's translation and all that, some say it will be made
  • 00:04:47.028 --> 00:04:51.533
  • Evident, manifested to all, for all people to see.
  • 00:04:51.533 --> 00:04:54.836
  • In other words, for all to see.
  • 00:04:54.836 --> 00:04:56.171
  • But in young's, it says: "your profiting will appear in all."
  • 00:04:56.171 --> 00:05:00.776
  • So to all and in all is different, right, right?
  • 00:05:00.776 --> 00:05:05.447
  • To all means everyone can see it.
  • 00:05:05.447 --> 00:05:08.784
  • In all means your profiting will happen in all things in your
  • 00:05:08.784 --> 00:05:12.654
  • Life, right?
  • 00:05:12.654 --> 00:05:14.990
  • So which is the correct answer?
  • 00:05:14.990 --> 00:05:16.892
  • Because in the greek, the word "to all," "to all" is actually
  • 00:05:16.892 --> 00:05:20.328
  • The word e-n, "en."
  • 00:05:20.328 --> 00:05:23.031
  • --it's not in the greek.
  • 00:05:23.031 --> 00:05:25.700
  • I'm just saying the english, how you pronounce it, is en.
  • 00:05:25.700 --> 00:05:28.270
  • En, most of the time, is translated "in."
  • 00:05:28.270 --> 00:05:34.309
  • It can be "to" as well.
  • 00:05:34.309 --> 00:05:36.077
  • So whenever you find a verse that can be used both ways,
  • 00:05:36.077 --> 00:05:39.247
  • Apply it both ways.
  • 00:05:39.247 --> 00:05:41.183
  • That your profiting, when you meditate upon god's word, your
  • 00:05:41.183 --> 00:05:43.819
  • Profiting will be manifested, will be made evident in all
  • 00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:50.625
  • Things in your life and to all people, wow!
  • 00:05:50.625 --> 00:05:59.000
  • Wow, wow, wow!
  • 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:00.368
  • Praise god, amen?
  • 00:06:00.368 --> 00:06:02.637
  • So, how do you know this meditate is meditate on
  • 00:06:02.637 --> 00:06:04.339
  • God's word?
  • 00:06:04.339 --> 00:06:05.674
  • Well, just look at the verses before that: "till i come, give
  • 00:06:05.674 --> 00:06:08.477
  • Attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine."
  • 00:06:08.477 --> 00:06:12.280
  • That's the word of god.
  • 00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:14.082
  • When you see reading and doctrine there, it is
  • 00:06:14.082 --> 00:06:18.186
  • The word of god, the scriptures.
  • 00:06:18.186 --> 00:06:20.989
  • And after that, "meditate upon these things," you look at verse
  • 00:06:20.989 --> 00:06:24.159
  • 16, it goes on to say: "take heed unto yourself, and unto
  • 00:06:24.159 --> 00:06:27.996
  • The doctrine."
  • 00:06:27.996 --> 00:06:29.531
  • Now this is amazing, okay?
  • 00:06:29.531 --> 00:06:30.899
  • You're going to hear something that probably you may have never
  • 00:06:30.899 --> 00:06:33.768
  • Heard, because people don't bother to meditate on every word
  • 00:06:33.768 --> 00:06:39.774
  • Or statement sometimes.
  • 00:06:39.774 --> 00:06:41.109
  • They just say, "okay, this is a statement to be taken
  • 00:06:41.109 --> 00:06:45.680
  • At a face value."
  • 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.048
  • But think about it.
  • 00:06:47.048 --> 00:06:48.383
  • "take heed unto yourself, and unto the doctrine;
  • 00:06:48.383 --> 00:06:51.219
  • Continue in them."
  • 00:06:51.219 --> 00:06:52.554
  • See the doctrine is there?
  • 00:06:52.554 --> 00:06:53.889
  • So it's sandwiched with doctrine.
  • 00:06:53.889 --> 00:06:55.257
  • So meditate upon the word of god.
  • 00:06:55.257 --> 00:06:58.126
  • Can you see that?
  • 00:06:58.126 --> 00:07:00.295
  • Now watch this.
  • 00:07:00.295 --> 00:07:01.630
  • This is something you may not have ever seen.
  • 00:07:01.630 --> 00:07:02.998
  • It says: "take heed to yourself, and unto the doctrine; continue
  • 00:07:02.998 --> 00:07:06.434
  • In them: for in doing this you shall both save yourself,
  • 00:07:06.434 --> 00:07:10.238
  • And them that hear you."
  • 00:07:10.238 --> 00:07:11.773
  • Now, some time ago when i saw this, i was thinking,
  • 00:07:11.773 --> 00:07:15.677
  • "what is there for paul to save?"
  • 00:07:15.677 --> 00:07:25.921
  • Because our idea of safe is actually saved from hell.
  • 00:07:25.987 --> 00:07:32.694
  • If i ask you, how many of you are safe?
  • 00:07:32.694 --> 00:07:34.996
  • You say, "i'm safe!"
  • 00:07:34.996 --> 00:07:38.733
  • Right?
  • 00:07:38.733 --> 00:07:43.905
  • If you're not safe, you've got to face the penalty.
  • 00:07:43.905 --> 00:07:47.075
  • Or there's first a penalty and then there's a save.
  • 00:07:47.075 --> 00:07:50.912
  • If you're into football, okay, never mind.
  • 00:07:50.912 --> 00:07:55.951
  • This is like what you sow is what you reap.
  • 00:07:55.951 --> 00:07:59.754
  • This happens to a meditating mind.
  • 00:07:59.754 --> 00:08:04.492
  • So he's saying, "take heed to yourself."
  • 00:08:04.492 --> 00:08:09.064
  • He's telling you, who meditate on god's word, "take heed
  • 00:08:09.064 --> 00:08:12.434
  • To yourself and to the teaching, to the doctrine, that you are
  • 00:08:12.434 --> 00:08:17.038
  • Meditating on; continue in them."
  • 00:08:17.038 --> 00:08:21.476
  • Don't just do it one day.
  • 00:08:21.476 --> 00:08:23.712
  • Okay, where's the results?
  • 00:08:23.712 --> 00:08:25.780
  • No, "continue in them: for in doing this you shall both save
  • 00:08:25.780 --> 00:08:31.186
  • Yourself, and them that hear you."
  • 00:08:31.186 --> 00:08:33.321
  • Obviously, paul is writing to timothy, and paul is writing by
  • 00:08:33.321 --> 00:08:37.258
  • The spirit, and paul is writing to someone who is saved already.
  • 00:08:37.258 --> 00:08:40.996
  • Not only saved, he's a pastor.
  • 00:08:40.996 --> 00:08:44.699
  • He's a young pastor.
  • 00:08:44.699 --> 00:08:47.769
  • So is timothy saved?
  • 00:08:47.769 --> 00:08:49.104
  • Yes.
  • 00:08:49.104 --> 00:08:50.438
  • And of course, we know that god's word is not written just
  • 00:08:50.438 --> 00:08:52.507
  • For timothy.
  • 00:08:52.507 --> 00:08:53.842
  • It's written to all of us.
  • 00:08:53.842 --> 00:08:55.710
  • God had us all in mind when he had the holy spirit inspire all
  • 00:08:55.710 --> 00:08:58.580
  • These words.
  • 00:08:58.580 --> 00:08:59.948
  • So what is he saying?
  • 00:08:59.948 --> 00:09:01.282
  • We are safe.
  • 00:09:01.282 --> 00:09:02.651
  • Why is he saying, "continue meditating on god's word and you
  • 00:09:02.651 --> 00:09:05.854
  • Will save yourself and you will save those people who are
  • 00:09:05.854 --> 00:09:11.026
  • Willing to listen to you, your friends when you share
  • 00:09:11.026 --> 00:09:14.062
  • With them."
  • 00:09:14.062 --> 00:09:15.397
  • You'll save yourself, you'll save them.
  • 00:09:15.397 --> 00:09:18.266
  • You ever thought of meditating on that and ask the lord what
  • 00:09:18.266 --> 00:09:20.568
  • It means?
  • 00:09:20.568 --> 00:09:22.904
  • So i've done the meditation for you, okay?
  • 00:09:22.904 --> 00:09:29.277
  • The word "save," sozo in the greek means this.
  • 00:09:29.277 --> 00:09:34.282
  • "to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger
  • 00:09:34.282 --> 00:09:38.486
  • Or destruction.
  • 00:09:38.486 --> 00:09:40.321
  • To save a suffering one from perishing.
  • 00:09:40.321 --> 00:09:44.392
  • That is, one suffering from disease.
  • 00:09:44.392 --> 00:09:46.861
  • To make well, heal, restore to health."
  • 00:09:46.861 --> 00:09:51.466
  • What do you think the save is?
  • 00:09:51.466 --> 00:09:53.501
  • For a christian, it cannot mean saved from hell anymore.
  • 00:09:53.501 --> 00:09:57.572
  • It's telling you, if you continue in it, it will
  • 00:09:57.572 --> 00:10:00.141
  • Save you.
  • 00:10:00.141 --> 00:10:01.476
  • And it will save those who are listening to you, amen?
  • 00:10:01.476 --> 00:10:07.749
  • For the pastor as well, as well as people who meditate
  • 00:10:07.749 --> 00:10:11.653
  • On god's word, the friends who listen to them, those who are
  • 00:10:11.653 --> 00:10:15.423
  • Willing to listen to them.
  • 00:10:15.423 --> 00:10:17.959
  • You were saved.
  • 00:10:17.959 --> 00:10:19.360
  • By the way, same word in the verb that is used by
  • 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.831
  • Jesus, "sozo."
  • 00:10:22.831 --> 00:10:24.232
  • When that woman i told you about came behind and took the healing
  • 00:10:24.232 --> 00:10:27.702
  • And jesus turned around and says, "daughter, your faith
  • 00:10:27.702 --> 00:10:30.972
  • Has sozoed you."
  • 00:10:30.972 --> 00:10:33.908
  • Your bible says, "healed you," amen, but in the greek,
  • 00:10:33.908 --> 00:10:39.447
  • It says, "sozo."
  • 00:10:39.447 --> 00:10:40.815
  • And the problem that we have in the modern church, especially
  • 00:10:40.815 --> 00:10:44.886
  • Those that don't believe in healing, is that we just say--
  • 00:10:44.886 --> 00:10:48.289
  • We just look at the all-inclusive word of "sozo"
  • 00:10:48.289 --> 00:10:54.429
  • Or salvation which is the noun of sozo.
  • 00:10:54.429 --> 00:10:58.666
  • We look at the word and we say, "saved means saved from hell.
  • 00:10:58.666 --> 00:11:04.439
  • So i'm saved already."
  • 00:11:04.439 --> 00:11:06.174
  • It's like we have no more dealings with the word
  • 00:11:06.174 --> 00:11:08.143
  • "sozo" anymore.
  • 00:11:08.143 --> 00:11:09.477
  • No, sozo is not just saved from hell.
  • 00:11:09.477 --> 00:11:11.679
  • It's saved in every area of the fall that man experience
  • 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:17.318
  • Because of adam's fall, amen.
  • 00:11:17.318 --> 00:11:21.623
  • His name, jesus's name, in the greek would be soteria
  • 00:11:21.623 --> 00:11:29.430
  • From the word "sozo," all right?
  • 00:11:29.430 --> 00:11:32.467
  • Literally, savior.
  • 00:11:32.467 --> 00:11:36.838
  • Savior!
  • 00:11:36.838 --> 00:11:38.206
  • From the word "sozo."
  • 00:11:38.206 --> 00:11:39.541
  • Save you, not just from hell.
  • 00:11:39.541 --> 00:11:41.109
  • And then from there, say, "i got jesus already.
  • 00:11:41.109 --> 00:11:42.911
  • I can do whatever i want, amen.
  • 00:11:42.911 --> 00:11:44.946
  • I don't need him anymore."
  • 00:11:44.946 --> 00:11:46.314
  • No, you need saving.
  • 00:11:46.314 --> 00:11:47.649
  • Sometimes you even need to save face!
  • 00:11:47.649 --> 00:11:52.420
  • How many like to save face?
  • 00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:54.455
  • How many like some saving face sometimes?
  • 00:11:54.455 --> 00:11:57.725
  • Sometimes you don't know where to put your face, right?
  • 00:11:57.725 --> 00:12:00.628
  • Amen?
  • 00:12:00.628 --> 00:12:01.996
  • Has your face gathered interest or not?
  • 00:12:01.996 --> 00:12:03.865
  • After you save--okay, anyway.
  • 00:12:03.865 --> 00:12:08.636
  • That came spontaneously.
  • 00:12:08.636 --> 00:12:11.406
  • Your faith saved interest?
  • 00:12:11.406 --> 00:12:14.175
  • Gathered interest?
  • 00:12:14.175 --> 00:12:16.144
  • Doesn't gather interest after you take it out of saving,
  • 00:12:16.144 --> 00:12:19.180
  • Then don't save it anymore.
  • 00:12:19.180 --> 00:12:20.548
  • Okay, anyway.
  • 00:12:20.548 --> 00:12:27.188
  • This verse must mean not saved from hell, saved
  • 00:12:27.188 --> 00:12:31.726
  • From destruction, but saved from disease or saved
  • 00:12:31.726 --> 00:12:37.298
  • From danger or destruction.
  • 00:12:37.298 --> 00:12:39.734
  • That's the effect of the word of god
  • 00:12:39.734 --> 00:12:45.073
  • That you are meditating on, amen, amen.
  • 00:12:45.073 --> 00:12:47.442
  • The bible says, "study the word of god.
  • 00:12:47.442 --> 00:12:51.045
  • Meditate," amen.
  • 00:12:51.045 --> 00:12:53.114
  • I tell you something.
  • 00:12:53.114 --> 00:12:54.449
  • If you can sit down and read a book and find it fascinating,
  • 00:12:54.449 --> 00:12:58.119
  • All right, once you close the book, it's done.
  • 00:12:58.119 --> 00:13:00.889
  • There's no impartation.
  • 00:13:00.889 --> 00:13:02.257
  • But with the word of god, there's some virtue there
  • 00:13:02.257 --> 00:13:06.461
  • That whatever you are reading on, okay, has the power
  • 00:13:06.461 --> 00:13:10.398
  • To reproduce itself.
  • 00:13:10.398 --> 00:13:12.066
  • Let me explain.
  • 00:13:12.066 --> 00:13:13.401
  • If you spend time in healing scriptures, for example,
  • 00:13:13.401 --> 00:13:15.570
  • You spend time long enough in healing scriptures,
  • 00:13:15.570 --> 00:13:17.939
  • It has a power to reproduce itself, okay?
  • 00:13:17.939 --> 00:13:24.312
  • There was a pastor in america, he has gone to be with the lord
  • 00:13:24.312 --> 00:13:29.450
  • Already, but many, many years ago, the lord told him this
  • 00:13:29.450 --> 00:13:32.320
  • Because he wanted a revival in his church.
  • 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.356
  • A real revival.
  • 00:13:35.356 --> 00:13:36.824
  • And the lord said to him, "spend your time in my word
  • 00:13:36.824 --> 00:13:42.530
  • In the book of acts.
  • 00:13:42.530 --> 00:13:45.199
  • Live there.
  • 00:13:45.199 --> 00:13:46.567
  • Meditate there.
  • 00:13:46.567 --> 00:13:48.469
  • Just be absorbed in the book of acts."
  • 00:13:48.469 --> 00:13:51.139
  • He says--and then he says this.
  • 00:13:51.139 --> 00:13:54.509
  • I don't know how long was the time, but he spent a lot of his
  • 00:13:54.509 --> 00:13:57.145
  • Time in the book of acts and all of a sudden, the things that he
  • 00:13:57.145 --> 00:14:00.548
  • Saw in the book of acts began to happen in the church.
  • 00:14:00.548 --> 00:14:04.452
  • Now i read that story.
  • 00:14:04.452 --> 00:14:07.622
  • I think his name was william freeman.
  • 00:14:07.622 --> 00:14:09.057
  • It's coming to me.
  • 00:14:09.057 --> 00:14:11.659
  • He was a well-known evangelist and he saw the revival,
  • 00:14:11.659 --> 00:14:17.231
  • Healings, deliverance and all kinds of breakthrough signs
  • 00:14:17.231 --> 00:14:20.969
  • And wonders happen, glorifying the lord jesus, amen?
  • 00:14:20.969 --> 00:14:26.107
  • And then i saw something even as a young man.
  • 00:14:26.107 --> 00:14:28.609
  • I remember i was a very young man, either in my late teens
  • 00:14:28.609 --> 00:14:32.680
  • Or early twenties.
  • 00:14:32.680 --> 00:14:34.482
  • When i read that book, it was a story about his accomplishments
  • 00:14:34.482 --> 00:14:41.756
  • In the evangelistic field, this man of god.
  • 00:14:41.756 --> 00:14:46.361
  • But i saw something.
  • 00:14:46.361 --> 00:14:48.629
  • I saw that the word of god, whatever area--you want
  • 00:14:48.629 --> 00:14:52.367
  • Revival, you spend time in the book of acts.
  • 00:14:52.367 --> 00:14:56.637
  • Whatever--healing, it has the power to reproduce itself, amen,
  • 00:14:56.637 --> 00:15:03.678
  • Amen, okay?
  • 00:15:03.678 --> 00:15:08.182
  • And that's why we don't deal with occultic books,
  • 00:15:08.182 --> 00:15:12.754
  • Because they have the power of evil, all right?
  • 00:15:12.754 --> 00:15:16.557
  • We don't do that.
  • 00:15:16.557 --> 00:15:18.259
  • We look at the word and there's a power to transform.
  • 00:15:18.259 --> 00:15:21.529
  • Do you know the power doesn't come by putting in effort to
  • 00:15:21.529 --> 00:15:24.465
  • Change yourself?
  • 00:15:24.465 --> 00:15:25.833
  • Just by looking at the blessings, looking at the beauty
  • 00:15:25.833 --> 00:15:28.569
  • Of the lord, you become like him.
  • 00:15:28.569 --> 00:15:30.838
  • By beholding as in a glass, as in a mirror,
  • 00:15:30.838 --> 00:15:35.076
  • The glory of the lord.
  • 00:15:35.076 --> 00:15:36.411
  • You meditate on it, all right?
  • 00:15:36.411 --> 00:15:38.513
  • It will do wonders for your body.
  • 00:15:38.513 --> 00:15:40.048
  • Look at proverbs chapter 4: "my son, give attention to my words;
  • 00:15:40.048 --> 00:15:43.618
  • Incline your ear to my sayings.
  • 00:15:43.618 --> 00:15:45.420
  • Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst
  • 00:15:45.420 --> 00:15:48.956
  • Of your heart; for," what?
  • 00:15:48.956 --> 00:15:51.025
  • "they," god's word.
  • 00:15:51.025 --> 00:15:52.393
  • "they are life unto those that find them."
  • 00:15:52.393 --> 00:15:58.299
  • Not just for every tom, dick, and harry, okay?
  • 00:15:58.299 --> 00:16:00.134
  • It's for "those that find them, and health to all their flesh."
  • 00:16:00.134 --> 00:16:09.243
  • Now, there's no way anyone can say, this health is spiritual
  • 00:16:09.243 --> 00:16:12.647
  • Health, brother.
  • 00:16:12.647 --> 00:16:14.949
  • Spiritual health.
  • 00:16:14.949 --> 00:16:16.317
  • No, health to all their flesh.
  • 00:16:16.317 --> 00:16:20.421
  • God is saying god's word has a profit, has a benefit,
  • 00:16:20.421 --> 00:16:29.263
  • Which is health to all your flesh.
  • 00:16:29.263 --> 00:16:33.201
  • Now, all your flesh?
  • 00:16:33.201 --> 00:16:35.002
  • All.
  • 00:16:35.002 --> 00:16:37.138
  • You know something?
  • 00:16:37.138 --> 00:16:38.473
  • Today's medicine, they try, i mean, they attempt to cure you
  • 00:16:38.473 --> 00:16:45.146
  • Of a condition but they qualify themselves by saying,
  • 00:16:45.146 --> 00:16:52.019
  • "you may have these side effects," okay?
  • 00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:54.555
  • In other words, it's not a cure-all.
  • 00:16:54.555 --> 00:17:00.428
  • If you take this, you have to take this to lower your
  • 00:17:00.428 --> 00:17:05.399
  • Blood sugar.
  • 00:17:05.399 --> 00:17:07.602
  • It may increase your blood sugar.
  • 00:17:07.602 --> 00:17:11.105
  • If you take this, it may increase your blood pressure.
  • 00:17:11.105 --> 00:17:14.041
  • So you must take this also.
  • 00:17:14.041 --> 00:17:15.810
  • Isn't it true?
  • 00:17:15.810 --> 00:17:17.378
  • But we still thank god for medicine because i believe it's
  • 00:17:17.378 --> 00:17:19.547
  • Part and parcel of the every good and perfect gift is
  • 00:17:19.547 --> 00:17:22.150
  • From above, all right?
  • 00:17:22.150 --> 00:17:24.819
  • Perfect gift for his children but good gifts for the people
  • 00:17:24.819 --> 00:17:27.488
  • Of the world.
  • 00:17:27.488 --> 00:17:28.856
  • He still loves them.
  • 00:17:28.856 --> 00:17:30.291
  • And they cannot receive from god, god's way,
  • 00:17:30.291 --> 00:17:32.493
  • They will receive benefits as well, okay?
  • 00:17:32.493 --> 00:17:36.531
  • But the thing is that medicine or whatever is still
  • 00:17:36.531 --> 00:17:39.534
  • Man-manufactured, okay?
  • 00:17:39.534 --> 00:17:44.839
  • Why not use your medicine together with god's word?
  • 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:49.710
  • God's word says, this one, it has no side effect.
  • 00:17:49.710 --> 00:17:53.247
  • It's health to how much of your flesh?
  • 00:17:53.247 --> 00:17:55.616
  • All your flesh!
  • 00:17:55.616 --> 00:17:57.118
  • Name all the flesh part you got.
  • 00:17:57.118 --> 00:17:59.287
  • You know, just getting god's word and all your
  • 00:17:59.287 --> 00:18:00.955
  • Flesh benefits.
  • 00:18:00.955 --> 00:18:02.290
  • Your eyes benefit, your hair benefit, no hair, your scalp
  • 00:18:02.290 --> 00:18:06.260
  • Benefit, your ears benefit, your tongue benefit,
  • 00:18:06.260 --> 00:18:09.430
  • Your teeth benefit, amen?
  • 00:18:09.430 --> 00:18:11.098
  • Your heart benefit, your arteries benefit, your diaphragm
  • 00:18:11.098 --> 00:18:14.235
  • Benefit, your liver benefit, your pancreas benefit,
  • 00:18:14.235 --> 00:18:19.774
  • Your stomach benefit, your large and small intestines benefit,
  • 00:18:19.774 --> 00:18:23.010
  • Your colon benefit, your prostate benefit,
  • 00:18:23.010 --> 00:18:25.846
  • Your bladder benefit, your kidneys benefit, amen?
  • 00:18:25.846 --> 00:18:30.718
  • Your skin benefit.
  • 00:18:30.718 --> 00:18:34.388
  • Those are your eczema.
  • 00:18:34.388 --> 00:18:35.756
  • In fact, there's a story told, a man of god who was having
  • 00:18:35.756 --> 00:18:40.127
  • Terrible eczema when he was a man serving in the sudan,
  • 00:18:40.127 --> 00:18:45.399
  • In the army.
  • 00:18:45.399 --> 00:18:46.767
  • And he says god showed him this portion and he says that he was
  • 00:18:46.767 --> 00:18:50.972
  • A medical orderly at that time and the lord said to him,
  • 00:18:50.972 --> 00:18:54.709
  • "when you advise people to take medicine, how do you tell them?
  • 00:18:54.709 --> 00:18:57.278
  • Three times a day, after food or whatever.
  • 00:18:57.278 --> 00:18:59.347
  • Do that with my word."
  • 00:18:59.347 --> 00:19:00.681
  • So he opened up god's word, and dutifully, all right,
  • 00:19:00.681 --> 00:19:04.485
  • Three times a day, read the word, read the word,
  • 00:19:04.485 --> 00:19:09.156
  • And lo and behold, his skin, his eczema disappears.
  • 00:19:09.156 --> 00:19:13.127
  • It's health to all your flesh.
  • 00:19:13.127 --> 00:19:15.363
  • Health to all your flesh. health to all your flesh.
  • 00:19:15.363 --> 00:19:19.567
  • When god says health to all your flesh, don't make it spiritual.
  • 00:19:19.567 --> 00:19:23.638
  • Flesh there is as flesh as flesh as flesh as flesh can be,
  • 00:19:23.638 --> 00:19:27.508
  • All right?
  • 00:19:27.508 --> 00:19:28.843
  • You look up the hebrew, it says flesh.
  • 00:19:28.843 --> 00:19:32.113
  • All body.
  • 00:19:32.113 --> 00:19:34.115
  • It's your body, amen.
  • 00:19:34.115 --> 00:19:39.520
  • I wish those who teach bible study would tell people this
  • 00:19:39.520 --> 00:19:43.291
  • Benefit as well.
  • 00:19:43.291 --> 00:19:44.625
  • Because there's something about telling them what god's word
  • 00:19:44.625 --> 00:19:46.994
  • Reveals because it releases faith every time you read.
  • 00:19:46.994 --> 00:19:50.564
  • So every time i read the word of god,
  • 00:19:50.564 --> 00:19:52.033
  • I release my faith.
  • 00:19:52.033 --> 00:19:53.367
  • I believe, father, as i read your words, you will cause your
  • 00:19:53.367 --> 00:19:57.805
  • Words to be life to me and health and healing
  • 00:19:57.805 --> 00:20:02.443
  • To all my flesh.
  • 00:20:02.443 --> 00:20:04.612
  • Especially when i'm not feeling well, okay?
  • 00:20:04.612 --> 00:20:07.648
  • I go into god's word even more.
  • 00:20:07.648 --> 00:20:10.985
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:20:10.985 --> 00:20:13.087
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:20:13.087 --> 00:20:15.189
  • Are you learning?
  • 00:20:15.189 --> 00:20:17.024
  • See, god's word is not just for your spiritual benefit.
  • 00:20:17.024 --> 00:20:20.561
  • Now it is primarily, all right, god's priority is always your
  • 00:20:20.561 --> 00:20:24.465
  • Spiritual man.
  • 00:20:24.465 --> 00:20:25.800
  • Your growth in character, growth in holiness, growth in grace,
  • 00:20:25.800 --> 00:20:30.071
  • That's his priority for the believer, amen?
  • 00:20:30.071 --> 00:20:34.275
  • But we've heard that so much that sometimes we don't even
  • 00:20:34.275 --> 00:20:38.079
  • Believe this side anymore and this side we just leave
  • 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.182
  • To the medical field or we just leave to nature, we call it.
  • 00:20:41.182 --> 00:20:46.287
  • No, no, no, god has--god wants to be involved in every area
  • 00:20:46.287 --> 00:20:49.790
  • Of your life, amen.
  • 00:20:49.790 --> 00:20:55.730
  • One last verse, hebrews 4, verse 12:
  • 00:20:55.730 --> 00:21:01.001
  • "for the word of god is living and powerful."
  • 00:21:01.001 --> 00:21:05.539
  • Now i like my old king james.
  • 00:21:05.539 --> 00:21:08.242
  • "the word of god is quick and powerful."
  • 00:21:08.242 --> 00:21:10.578
  • Quick means like the word "quickening," like living.
  • 00:21:10.578 --> 00:21:14.715
  • The word of god is living!
  • 00:21:14.715 --> 00:21:18.319
  • This word is living.
  • 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.922
  • Well, when you read the story of 1 samuel, the story of david
  • 00:21:21.922 --> 00:21:25.826
  • Doing something, and you say, well it happened
  • 00:21:25.826 --> 00:21:28.863
  • 3,000 years ago, how does that have a bearing on me?
  • 00:21:28.863 --> 00:21:30.398
  • It's living!
  • 00:21:30.398 --> 00:21:31.766
  • It has a word for you today, amen.
  • 00:21:31.766 --> 00:21:37.104
  • You know, suddenly you're thinking, you know,
  • 00:21:37.104 --> 00:21:39.306
  • Shall i or not?
  • 00:21:39.306 --> 00:21:40.674
  • It's a lost cause.
  • 00:21:40.674 --> 00:21:42.009
  • Shall i go for it?
  • 00:21:42.009 --> 00:21:43.377
  • Who is to say to go for it or not to go for it?
  • 00:21:43.377 --> 00:21:45.446
  • Maybe it's a lost relationship.
  • 00:21:45.446 --> 00:21:46.947
  • Maybe it's a lost client or whatever, all right.
  • 00:21:46.947 --> 00:21:50.718
  • They said, "shall i go for it?"
  • 00:21:50.718 --> 00:21:52.153
  • And you know, sometimes you just read the word of god and all of
  • 00:21:52.153 --> 00:21:55.623
  • A sudden you come to the story of david and his loss at ziklag.
  • 00:21:55.623 --> 00:21:59.293
  • The enemies came and took all his wives and all his men's
  • 00:21:59.293 --> 00:22:02.296
  • Wives and children all away and all the goods and all that.
  • 00:22:02.296 --> 00:22:05.399
  • He was so heartbroken and even his men were so heartbroken they
  • 00:22:05.399 --> 00:22:09.036
  • Thought of stoning him.
  • 00:22:09.036 --> 00:22:10.371
  • But the bible says he strengthened himself.
  • 00:22:10.371 --> 00:22:11.739
  • And you read this, god's answer to him.
  • 00:22:11.739 --> 00:22:14.809
  • "pursue, david.
  • 00:22:14.809 --> 00:22:16.143
  • Pursue them.
  • 00:22:16.143 --> 00:22:17.545
  • For without fail, you will overtake all."
  • 00:22:17.545 --> 00:22:20.581
  • And here you are reading this.
  • 00:22:20.581 --> 00:22:22.383
  • Something that happened 3000 years ago.
  • 00:22:22.383 --> 00:22:24.084
  • But it's living!
  • 00:22:24.084 --> 00:22:26.220
  • Jeremiah 15: "your words were found."
  • 00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:31.258
  • How many words? plural?
  • 00:22:31.258 --> 00:22:33.961
  • Words, okay? more than one.
  • 00:22:33.961 --> 00:22:36.664
  • "your words were found, and i did eat them."
  • 00:22:36.664 --> 00:22:38.032
  • I'm going to show you how to get a rhema.
  • 00:22:38.032 --> 00:22:39.366
  • "your words were found and i ate them, and your word was to me
  • 00:22:39.366 --> 00:22:42.403
  • The joy and rejoicing of my heart; for i'm called by your
  • 00:22:42.403 --> 00:22:45.739
  • Name, o lord god of hosts."
  • 00:22:45.739 --> 00:22:47.541
  • So watch this.
  • 00:22:47.541 --> 00:22:48.876
  • "your words were found, and i did eat them."
  • 00:22:48.876 --> 00:22:50.244
  • You know what's the best attitude towards god's word?
  • 00:22:50.244 --> 00:22:52.112
  • Don't analyze it.
  • 00:22:52.112 --> 00:22:53.481
  • Eat it.
  • 00:22:53.481 --> 00:22:55.149
  • It's designed for your food.
  • 00:22:55.149 --> 00:22:58.118
  • It's designed to feed you, strengthen you, make you strong
  • 00:22:58.118 --> 00:23:02.756
  • And healthy, grow your character, amen.
  • 00:23:02.756 --> 00:23:07.761
  • Grow in grace.
  • 00:23:07.761 --> 00:23:09.363
  • Grow in holiness, amen.
  • 00:23:09.363 --> 00:23:11.198
  • It's meant to feed you.
  • 00:23:11.198 --> 00:23:13.901
  • This is a bread book, not a law book, okay?
  • 00:23:13.901 --> 00:23:20.541
  • Now, you read a lot.
  • 00:23:20.541 --> 00:23:24.879
  • Read copiously, all right?
  • 00:23:24.879 --> 00:23:28.282
  • Read widely.
  • 00:23:28.282 --> 00:23:29.984
  • Sometimes we finish a book in one day because it's
  • 00:23:29.984 --> 00:23:33.888
  • So interesting.
  • 00:23:33.888 --> 00:23:35.222
  • Have you finished an epistle?
  • 00:23:35.222 --> 00:23:37.424
  • Like the epistle of ephesians in one sitting?
  • 00:23:37.424 --> 00:23:40.928
  • Very interesting.
  • 00:23:40.928 --> 00:23:42.930
  • You get the whole perspective as opposed to just a verse study.
  • 00:23:42.930 --> 00:23:46.200
  • Anyway, when you read a lot widely, your words, those are
  • 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:51.639
  • Your words, the logos.
  • 00:23:51.639 --> 00:23:53.774
  • You are reading the logos.
  • 00:23:53.774 --> 00:23:56.210
  • And you are eating them.
  • 00:23:56.210 --> 00:23:57.578
  • That's the right attitude.
  • 00:23:57.578 --> 00:23:58.913
  • Feeding.
  • 00:23:58.913 --> 00:24:00.281
  • You know what's going to happen?
  • 00:24:00.281 --> 00:24:01.615
  • They will jump out from there.
  • 00:24:01.615 --> 00:24:02.950
  • One word, singular, your word.
  • 00:24:02.950 --> 00:24:06.554
  • And that word will be the joy and rejoicing of your heart.
  • 00:24:06.554 --> 00:24:09.690
  • So the more you read, there will be that one word that will jump
  • 00:24:09.690 --> 00:24:13.994
  • Out at you.
  • 00:24:13.994 --> 00:24:15.329
  • How do you know it's a rhema for you for that day?
  • 00:24:15.329 --> 00:24:16.931
  • How do you know?
  • 00:24:16.931 --> 00:24:18.265
  • You're going to use that to fight the enemy, to fight your
  • 00:24:18.265 --> 00:24:19.934
  • Fears, to fight your worries.
  • 00:24:19.934 --> 00:24:21.569
  • You know how you know that's god's word for you?
  • 00:24:21.569 --> 00:24:23.504
  • There's a joy and rejoicing when that word comes.
  • 00:24:23.504 --> 00:24:26.707
  • Sometimes i read, read, read, read for that day and there's
  • 00:24:26.707 --> 00:24:29.610
  • No jumping and all of a sudden, bang!
  • 00:24:29.610 --> 00:24:31.178
  • There it is! there it is!
  • 00:24:31.178 --> 00:24:33.013
  • I try to memorize it and that's the verse i meditate on, amen.
  • 00:24:33.013 --> 00:24:37.751
