Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - God Is Not Holding Back. You Are | July 24, 2025
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.854
- Joseph prince: there are people who try to put in us,
- 00:00:12.956 --> 00:00:15.825
- "yes, god is a father, but god is god.
- 00:00:15.825 --> 00:00:18.194
- He is almighty god," as if they are closer to god.
- 00:00:18.194 --> 00:00:21.498
- We can learn all about the names of god: el elyon, elohim,
- 00:00:21.498 --> 00:00:26.069
- Yahweh-tsidkenu, yahweh-mekoddishkem,
- 00:00:26.069 --> 00:00:28.805
- And yahweh-rohi, all the names of god,
- 00:00:28.805 --> 00:00:33.143
- But the name that he wants to be known is father.
- 00:00:33.143 --> 00:00:35.778
- The father is most pleased when you approach him as father
- 00:00:35.778 --> 00:00:41.317
- Because you are his son.
- 00:00:41.317 --> 00:00:43.119
- The name that jesus came to reveal is father,
- 00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.122
- And he prayed in his high priestly prayer that
- 00:00:46.122 --> 00:00:48.291
- "i've revealed to them your name, father," amen,
- 00:00:48.291 --> 00:00:51.561
- "that your name, that the love by which you love me
- 00:00:51.561 --> 00:00:53.963
- May be in them."
- 00:00:53.963 --> 00:00:55.331
- Isn't that beautiful, amen?
- 00:00:55.331 --> 00:00:56.799
- So own this spirit of sonship, amen,
- 00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.669
- And exercise it more and more.
- 00:00:59.669 --> 00:01:01.804

- 00:01:01.871 --> 00:01:04.007

- Even in life's toughest storms.
- 00:01:07.277 --> 00:01:09.712
- Joseph prince: we live in a world where our values
- 00:01:09.712 --> 00:01:12.348
- And our faith are being challenged 24/7.
- 00:01:12.348 --> 00:01:16.686
- This is why it is so important for us to be anchored
- 00:01:16.686 --> 00:01:21.024
- On something greater than ourselves.
- 00:01:21.024 --> 00:01:24.327
- Male announcer: in his book "anchored," find 28 powerful
- 00:01:24.327 --> 00:01:26.930

- And now, here's pastor joseph prince with today's program.
- 00:01:52.055 --> 00:01:55.558
- Joseph prince: let's go right into the word of god,
- 00:01:55.625 --> 00:01:57.460
- And we look at galatians chapter 4:
- 00:01:57.460 --> 00:01:59.662
- "and because you are sons, god has sent forth
- 00:01:59.662 --> 00:02:02.665
- The spirit of his son into your hearts,
- 00:02:02.665 --> 00:02:04.334
- Crying out, 'abba, father!'
- 00:02:04.334 --> 00:02:07.036
- Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son,
- 00:02:07.036 --> 00:02:10.640
- Then an heir of god through christ."
- 00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:13.042
- As we go into galatians chapter 3 and 4, how the apostle paul
- 00:02:13.042 --> 00:02:18.214
- Says that we are now sons and no more infants,
- 00:02:18.214 --> 00:02:22.151
- We are no more a minor.
- 00:02:22.151 --> 00:02:23.720
- So the idea there is that he's talking to fellow jewish
- 00:02:23.720 --> 00:02:26.489
- Believers, and when he talked to fellow jewish believers among
- 00:02:26.489 --> 00:02:29.892
- The jewish believers in galatia, he used the term "we," amen?
- 00:02:29.892 --> 00:02:34.564
- When he's talking to the gentile believers in galatia,
- 00:02:34.564 --> 00:02:38.301
- He says "you," and you find this throughout the scriptures.
- 00:02:38.301 --> 00:02:41.170
- And he tells them, "when we," jewish people, "when we were
- 00:02:41.170 --> 00:02:45.141
- Infants," and the word there in the greek is nepios.
- 00:02:45.141 --> 00:02:48.244
- "when we were infant," a minor, a young child,
- 00:02:48.244 --> 00:02:51.681
- "god put us under the law, all right?
- 00:02:51.681 --> 00:02:53.883
- God put us under--like for example,
- 00:02:53.883 --> 00:02:56.119
- The greeks and the romans,
- 00:02:56.119 --> 00:02:57.487
- A wealthy man would have many servants,
- 00:02:57.487 --> 00:03:00.523
- And one of them that he trusts the most
- 00:03:00.523 --> 00:03:02.158
- Will be in charge of his son,
- 00:03:02.158 --> 00:03:04.027
- And the bible says it's like same thing.
- 00:03:04.027 --> 00:03:06.062
- The law was our guardian until christ came.
- 00:03:06.062 --> 00:03:10.700
- Notice there's an until.
- 00:03:10.700 --> 00:03:12.268
- The law is not forever, amen.
- 00:03:12.268 --> 00:03:14.304
- The law--actually the bible used the word stoicheion;
- 00:03:14.304 --> 00:03:18.007
- The elementary principles, the abc.
- 00:03:18.007 --> 00:03:21.477
- That's what stoicheion means in the greek.
- 00:03:21.477 --> 00:03:23.913
- If you look it up, the word "elements"--and the same word is
- 00:03:23.913 --> 00:03:26.215
- Used when paul says--i believe paul is the author of hebrews.
- 00:03:26.215 --> 00:03:29.952
- In hebrews, he says that when the "time you ought to be
- 00:03:29.952 --> 00:03:32.822
- Teachers, one needs to teach you again the first principles."
- 00:03:32.822 --> 00:03:36.392
- The first principles, the abcs of the faith,
- 00:03:36.392 --> 00:03:39.862
- Amen, and that is the law.
- 00:03:39.862 --> 00:03:41.564
- So god put us--when we were infants,
- 00:03:41.564 --> 00:03:43.566
- God put us under the law,
- 00:03:43.566 --> 00:03:45.234
- And that's why children need to be told a lot of rules
- 00:03:45.234 --> 00:03:47.337
- And regulations for children, all right?
- 00:03:47.337 --> 00:03:49.739
- But not for an adult, amen, but as long as the heir
- 00:03:49.739 --> 00:03:54.544
- Of that household--the man has an only son,
- 00:03:54.544 --> 00:03:56.813
- But his son is only five years old, six years old,
- 00:03:56.813 --> 00:03:58.915
- He must be taken care of by a guardian.
- 00:03:58.915 --> 00:04:01.718
- And the guardian will make sure he wakes up on time,
- 00:04:01.718 --> 00:04:04.120
- He goes to the gym, all right?
- 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:05.788
- He works--you know, he builds his body,
- 00:04:05.788 --> 00:04:08.024
- Makes sure that he is disciplined
- 00:04:08.024 --> 00:04:09.792
- In what he eats, and the guardian will make sure--so
- 00:04:09.792 --> 00:04:12.795
- Under a lot of rules and regulations
- 00:04:12.795 --> 00:04:14.530
- Until he becomes an adult.
- 00:04:14.530 --> 00:04:16.032
- The bible says "the time appointed by the father,"
- 00:04:16.032 --> 00:04:19.135
- And that's the gospel of jesus christ.
- 00:04:19.135 --> 00:04:20.703
- So for 1,500 years, god put israel under the law;
- 00:04:20.703 --> 00:04:25.241
- The abcs, the stoicheion,
- 00:04:25.241 --> 00:04:27.744
- The fundamental principles, amen?
- 00:04:27.744 --> 00:04:30.213
- And they were children back then.
- 00:04:30.213 --> 00:04:32.482
- Paul says, "when we were children, we were under the law,
- 00:04:32.482 --> 00:04:35.084
- But when the fulness of time came, god sent forth his son,
- 00:04:35.084 --> 00:04:39.255
- Made of a woman, born under the law,
- 00:04:39.255 --> 00:04:41.591
- To redeem those who are under the law," okay?
- 00:04:41.591 --> 00:04:44.327
- And then now we have received what?
- 00:04:44.327 --> 00:04:46.396
- Sonship, and the word is no more nepios.
- 00:04:46.396 --> 00:04:48.164
- The word is now huios in the greek,
- 00:04:48.164 --> 00:04:50.099
- Which is "full-grown adult son,"
- 00:04:50.099 --> 00:04:52.935
- And a full-grown adult son does not need
- 00:04:52.935 --> 00:04:54.971
- These rules and regulations.
- 00:04:54.971 --> 00:04:56.739
- Doesn't mean that he's lawless, but he keeps the spirit
- 00:04:56.739 --> 00:04:59.809
- Of what those things mean.
- 00:04:59.809 --> 00:05:01.144
- In fact, he keeps it with gladness.
- 00:05:01.144 --> 00:05:02.812
- It's like, you know, if he goes to a factory or a company or
- 00:05:02.812 --> 00:05:06.349
- Where--you know, the father might be, you know, an owner of
- 00:05:06.349 --> 00:05:09.051
- Many corporations--when he goes in there and he works there,
- 00:05:09.051 --> 00:05:12.522
- It's a different spirit from all the workers.
- 00:05:12.522 --> 00:05:14.757
- He's conscious if they don't switch off the light
- 00:05:14.757 --> 00:05:16.559
- When they leave.
- 00:05:16.559 --> 00:05:17.994
- He's conscious that they don't unnecessarily waste money.
- 00:05:17.994 --> 00:05:22.765
- I mean, why?
- 00:05:22.765 --> 00:05:24.100
- Because he has a stake.
- 00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:25.435
- He's going to be the heir of all these corporations, amen,
- 00:05:25.435 --> 00:05:27.737
- And so he serves in a different spirit.
- 00:05:27.737 --> 00:05:30.139
- It's not a matter of just keeping the law,
- 00:05:30.139 --> 00:05:31.808
- It's a matter of the spirit of it, which is love.
- 00:05:31.808 --> 00:05:34.544
- Love is the fulfilling of the law, amen?
- 00:05:34.544 --> 00:05:36.446
- So when you're under grace, amen, you don't become lawless,
- 00:05:36.446 --> 00:05:39.315
- Amen, but you walk in the spirit that the righteousness
- 00:05:39.315 --> 00:05:42.819
- Of the law might be fulfilled in us.
- 00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:45.154
- Notice, "in us," not "by us," amen?
- 00:05:45.154 --> 00:05:48.591
- As we walk after the spirit, the righteousness of the lord
- 00:05:48.591 --> 00:05:51.194
- Is fulfilled in us, amen?
- 00:05:51.194 --> 00:05:53.463
- You will do more than not steal,
- 00:05:53.463 --> 00:05:56.499
- You will give.
- 00:05:56.499 --> 00:05:57.834
- The law never says to give,
- 00:05:57.834 --> 00:05:59.168
- Praise god.
- 00:05:59.168 --> 00:06:00.503
- So here it says in galatians 4,
- 00:06:00.503 --> 00:06:02.505
- "because you are sons," you are huios.
- 00:06:02.505 --> 00:06:04.674
- Huios, now you are huios, grace has come, amen.
- 00:06:04.674 --> 00:06:08.678
- You have believed the gospel, and now you are sons.
- 00:06:08.678 --> 00:06:10.746
- "god has sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts
- 00:06:10.746 --> 00:06:13.850
- Crying out, 'abba, father!'
- 00:06:13.850 --> 00:06:16.185
- Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son,
- 00:06:16.185 --> 00:06:19.956
- And if a son, then an heir of god through christ."
- 00:06:19.956 --> 00:06:23.526
- Wow, praise god.
- 00:06:23.526 --> 00:06:25.127
- Notice that once you are a son, god sends his spirit
- 00:06:25.127 --> 00:06:28.164
- Into your hearts, by which you cry, "abba, father!"
- 00:06:28.164 --> 00:06:31.334
- And it's crucial you understand this.
- 00:06:31.334 --> 00:06:32.802
- Romans 8:15 tells us that "you did not receive the spirit
- 00:06:32.802 --> 00:06:35.404
- Of slavery to fall back into fear,
- 00:06:35.404 --> 00:06:38.074
- But you have received the spirit of adoption,"
- 00:06:38.074 --> 00:06:39.809
- Or sonship, "as sons by whom we cry, 'abba! father!'"
- 00:06:39.809 --> 00:06:44.247
- And i believe that this fear is the mother of all fears.
- 00:06:44.247 --> 00:06:49.652
- If you--and this idea of fear here is actually fearing god
- 00:06:49.652 --> 00:06:52.421
- In the wrong way.
- 00:06:52.421 --> 00:06:54.190
- In the old testament, they had this fear,
- 00:06:54.190 --> 00:06:56.158
- And that's why it says, "you did not receive the spirit
- 00:06:56.158 --> 00:06:58.127
- Of slavery to fall back into fear."
- 00:06:58.127 --> 00:07:00.830
- The king james says, "ye have not received the spirit
- 00:07:00.830 --> 00:07:02.965
- Of bondage again to fear."
- 00:07:02.965 --> 00:07:04.901
- So the word "again" means once upon a time,
- 00:07:04.901 --> 00:07:06.802
- They were under this spirit of slavery.
- 00:07:06.802 --> 00:07:08.571
- That was when they were nepios, amen?
- 00:07:08.571 --> 00:07:10.940
- Like the bible says, as long as you're a child,
- 00:07:10.940 --> 00:07:13.142
- You do not differ from a slave, amen?
- 00:07:13.142 --> 00:07:16.579
- A slave has rules and regulations, and a slave cannot
- 00:07:16.579 --> 00:07:18.948
- Enjoy what the landlord, the owner has, amen?
- 00:07:18.948 --> 00:07:22.852
- Likewise, a son, he cannot enjoy what the father has, amen,
- 00:07:22.852 --> 00:07:25.788
- As long as he's a child, amen?
- 00:07:25.788 --> 00:07:27.957
- And he's under rules and regulations,
- 00:07:27.957 --> 00:07:29.525
- So the bible says he does not differ
- 00:07:29.525 --> 00:07:31.093
- From a servant, okay?
- 00:07:31.093 --> 00:07:33.029
- But here, friend, when you look at this:
- 00:07:33.029 --> 00:07:35.031
- "you did not receive the spirit of slavery back into fear,"
- 00:07:35.031 --> 00:07:37.300
- It's referring to the old covenant saints.
- 00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:39.835
- But for us today, "you have received the spirit of sonship
- 00:07:39.835 --> 00:07:43.172
- By which we cry, 'abba! father!'"
- 00:07:43.172 --> 00:07:44.640
- This is crucial, because today there are people
- 00:07:44.640 --> 00:07:46.943
- Who try to put in us, "yes, god is a father, but god is god.
- 00:07:46.943 --> 00:07:51.747
- He is almighty god," as if they are closer to god,
- 00:07:51.747 --> 00:07:55.017
- As if they are more reverent towards god.
- 00:07:55.017 --> 00:07:57.153
- Now friend, the greatest attitude you can have to the god
- 00:07:57.153 --> 00:07:59.322
- Of abraham, isaac, and jacob today--and we don't use
- 00:07:59.322 --> 00:08:02.224
- That term under the new covenant.
- 00:08:02.224 --> 00:08:04.560
- I'm not saying you cannot use that term, i'm just saying that
- 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.596
- The father is most pleased when you approach him as father
- 00:08:06.596 --> 00:08:12.001
- Because you are his son.
- 00:08:12.001 --> 00:08:14.236
- We can learn all about the names of god: el elyon, elohim,
- 00:08:14.236 --> 00:08:18.941
- Yahweh-tsidkenu, yahweh-mekoddishkem,
- 00:08:18.941 --> 00:08:21.811
- And yahweh-rohi, all the names of god,
- 00:08:21.811 --> 00:08:26.148
- But the name that he wants to be known is father.
- 00:08:26.148 --> 00:08:28.851
- The name that jesus came to reveal is father, and he prayed
- 00:08:28.851 --> 00:08:32.054
- In his high priestly prayer that "i've revealed to them
- 00:08:32.054 --> 00:08:34.824
- Your name, father," amen, "that your name,
- 00:08:34.824 --> 00:08:38.060
- That the love by which you love me may be in them."
- 00:08:38.060 --> 00:08:40.663
- Isn't that beautiful, amen?
- 00:08:40.663 --> 00:08:42.965
- So own this spirit of sonship, amen,
- 00:08:42.965 --> 00:08:45.234
- And exercise it more and more.
- 00:08:45.234 --> 00:08:47.103
- The way we are led by the spirit is this spirit of sonship.
- 00:08:47.103 --> 00:08:50.239
- Amen, we need to be conscious of it, amen, tune into it,
- 00:08:50.239 --> 00:08:53.376
- Praise the lord, so that our hearing god's voice--or leading,
- 00:08:53.376 --> 00:08:57.647
- I should say, amen?
- 00:08:57.647 --> 00:08:59.248
- Many a times it's not a voice, it's a leading.
- 00:08:59.248 --> 00:09:01.317
- Amen, there is a voice.
- 00:09:01.317 --> 00:09:02.652
- "my sheep hear my voice," jesus said, but most of the time,
- 00:09:02.652 --> 00:09:05.187
- It's a bearing witness, amen.
- 00:09:05.187 --> 00:09:07.189
- That's how the holy spirit leads us.
- 00:09:07.189 --> 00:09:08.924
- And he says, "for as many as are led by the spirit of god,
- 00:09:08.924 --> 00:09:11.093
- They are" the huios, "sons of god," adult sons of god.
- 00:09:11.093 --> 00:09:14.463
- Notice, adult sons can expect to be led by the spirit;
- 00:09:14.463 --> 00:09:18.300
- Nepios, no.
- 00:09:18.300 --> 00:09:19.769
- Under the old covenant, no, amen?
- 00:09:19.769 --> 00:09:22.004
- They are led by laws, amen, by rules and regulations,
- 00:09:22.004 --> 00:09:27.476
- But for us, we are led by the spirit,
- 00:09:27.476 --> 00:09:29.345
- And the spirit will never tell you
- 00:09:29.345 --> 00:09:30.913
- To violate the ten commandments.
- 00:09:30.913 --> 00:09:33.349
- No, no, no, no; in fact, following the spirit
- 00:09:33.349 --> 00:09:35.551
- Will cause you to fulfill even more.
- 00:09:35.551 --> 00:09:37.353
- Like, the ten commandments says "don't steal,"
- 00:09:37.353 --> 00:09:39.455
- You will end up as a giver.
- 00:09:39.455 --> 00:09:40.923
- You'll be a blessing to others, amen?
- 00:09:40.923 --> 00:09:43.359
- In fact, the law says, "an eye for an eye,"
- 00:09:43.359 --> 00:09:45.828
- But following the spirit,
- 00:09:45.828 --> 00:09:47.730
- You will be a blessing even to those who curse you,
- 00:09:47.730 --> 00:09:50.533
- Those who persecute you, those who do harm to you even.
- 00:09:50.533 --> 00:09:54.103
- You will pray for them that god will bless them,
- 00:09:54.103 --> 00:09:56.472
- And then you find satisfaction when you do that.
- 00:09:56.472 --> 00:09:58.407
- Amen, praise the lord, hallelujah.
- 00:09:58.407 --> 00:10:01.110
- You know, people that come against you and all that,
- 00:10:01.110 --> 00:10:03.779
- Or who rub you the wrong way, you know,
- 00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:07.116
- Who may say things to hurt you and all that,
- 00:10:07.116 --> 00:10:08.884
- Just think of them like sandpaper, all right?
- 00:10:08.884 --> 00:10:12.388
- They are sanding you, amen?
- 00:10:12.388 --> 00:10:14.090
- At the end, if they rub you the wrong way, no problem,
- 00:10:14.090 --> 00:10:16.358
- Just bide your time,
- 00:10:16.358 --> 00:10:18.094
- Because you will end up polished and beautiful
- 00:10:18.094 --> 00:10:21.363
- And refined, hallelujah.
- 00:10:21.363 --> 00:10:22.832
- They will end up useless, amen, so pray for them, amen.
- 00:10:22.832 --> 00:10:26.602
- The reason jesus says "pray for them"
- 00:10:26.602 --> 00:10:28.104
- Is because, you know, there will be consequences
- 00:10:28.104 --> 00:10:31.273
- If they do harm to a child of god anointed of the holy spirit,
- 00:10:31.273 --> 00:10:35.044
- Right, and we are all anointed of the holy spirit.
- 00:10:35.044 --> 00:10:37.613
- We are children of god, so we gotta pray for them
- 00:10:37.613 --> 00:10:39.749
- That nothing bad happens to them.
- 00:10:39.749 --> 00:10:41.083
- I know some of you are thinking,
- 00:10:41.083 --> 00:10:42.418
- "i want something bad to happen."
- 00:10:42.418 --> 00:10:43.753
- No, that's not the spirit of the son, amen?
- 00:10:43.753 --> 00:10:45.087
- The spirit of the son is to, "father, forgive them,
- 00:10:45.087 --> 00:10:47.156
- For they know not what they do," amen?
- 00:10:47.156 --> 00:10:48.858
- All of us, god had mercy on us before we knew jesus, amen?
- 00:10:48.858 --> 00:10:51.961
- Praise the lord, hallelujah.
- 00:10:51.961 --> 00:10:53.729
- So here the spirit of the son, and look at the context again.
- 00:10:53.729 --> 00:10:56.699
- In the entire context, after verse 15, it says,
- 00:10:56.699 --> 00:10:58.801
- "the spirit himself bears witness with our spirit
- 00:10:58.801 --> 00:11:02.705
- That we are children of god."
- 00:11:02.705 --> 00:11:04.206
- The number one way
- 00:11:04.206 --> 00:11:05.741
- God leads us,
- 00:11:05.741 --> 00:11:08.210
- Number one way guidance
- 00:11:08.210 --> 00:11:09.578
- Comes to us of course primarily is the scriptures, right?
- 00:11:09.578 --> 00:11:13.182
- But in the scriptures, you can also--without the holy spirit,
- 00:11:13.182 --> 00:11:16.285
- You can actually go wrong and start focusing on things
- 00:11:16.285 --> 00:11:19.522
- That actually--children, when you were a child,
- 00:11:19.522 --> 00:11:22.458
- You focused on, amen?
- 00:11:22.458 --> 00:11:24.093
- Today, i teach a lot from the old testament.
- 00:11:24.093 --> 00:11:26.128
- Pastor prince teaches--about 60% to 70% of his teachings
- 00:11:26.128 --> 00:11:29.031
- Are from the old testament.
- 00:11:29.031 --> 00:11:30.499
- But what happened is that, you know, people don't realize
- 00:11:30.499 --> 00:11:32.935
- That there are so many treasures in the old testament.
- 00:11:32.935 --> 00:11:35.004
- The old is the new concealed,
- 00:11:35.004 --> 00:11:37.673
- The new is the old revealed, okay?
- 00:11:37.673 --> 00:11:41.443
- And jesus himself, how did he expound from the law
- 00:11:41.443 --> 00:11:44.180
- And the prophets things concerning himself?
- 00:11:44.180 --> 00:11:47.283
- So when i teach the law, i bring jesus out of it.
- 00:11:47.283 --> 00:11:50.853
- That's the primary reason for the law.
- 00:11:50.853 --> 00:11:53.522
- Romans 10:4 says, "christ is the end of the law for righteousness
- 00:11:53.522 --> 00:11:57.526
- To everyone who believes,"
- 00:11:57.526 --> 00:11:59.395
- And the niv, the new international version says,
- 00:11:59.395 --> 00:12:02.965
- "christ is the culmination of the law," amen,
- 00:12:02.965 --> 00:12:07.002
- "so that there may be righteousness
- 00:12:07.002 --> 00:12:08.938
- For everyone who believes."
- 00:12:08.938 --> 00:12:10.606
- Culmination means it's finished, it's come to an end.
- 00:12:10.606 --> 00:12:14.076
- People say, "you know, jesus says,
- 00:12:14.076 --> 00:12:15.477
- 'think not i am come to destroy the law.
- 00:12:15.477 --> 00:12:17.179
- I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.'"
- 00:12:17.179 --> 00:12:19.215
- I agree, i agree completely.
- 00:12:19.215 --> 00:12:22.017
- He didn't come to destroy, he came to fulfill
- 00:12:22.017 --> 00:12:24.687
- Even the smallest letter yods,
- 00:12:24.687 --> 00:12:26.689
- And all the crowns and the strokes and the tittles,
- 00:12:26.689 --> 00:12:30.226
- He came to fulfill every one of them,
- 00:12:30.226 --> 00:12:32.127
- And you know what, friend?
- 00:12:32.127 --> 00:12:33.529
- It is fulfilled.
- 00:12:33.529 --> 00:12:34.897
- Christ is the culmination of the law, amen?
- 00:12:34.897 --> 00:12:37.166
- He did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
- 00:12:37.166 --> 00:12:39.768
- Question: is it fulfilled now, now that we are sons?
- 00:12:39.768 --> 00:12:43.572
- Yes, romans 10:4 tells us very clearly christ
- 00:12:43.572 --> 00:12:46.475
- Is the culmination, the fulfillment, and "the end,"
- 00:12:46.475 --> 00:12:49.678
- King james says,
- 00:12:49.678 --> 00:12:51.013
- "of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
- 00:12:51.013 --> 00:12:53.883
- Amen, hallelujah, praise the name of jesus.
- 00:12:53.883 --> 00:12:57.486
- Notice that the number one way
- 00:12:57.486 --> 00:12:59.121
- The holy spirit leads us
- 00:12:59.121 --> 00:13:00.623
- Is to bear witness with our spirit.
- 00:13:00.623 --> 00:13:03.392
- He bears witness with our spirit.
- 00:13:03.392 --> 00:13:05.194
- Mmm, hallelujah.
- 00:13:05.194 --> 00:13:06.695
- You know, bearing witness is the word symmartyreo,
- 00:13:06.695 --> 00:13:09.899
- And it means--it's two words together
- 00:13:09.899 --> 00:13:11.800
- With "martyreo," witness; he witnessed.
- 00:13:11.800 --> 00:13:15.070
- Now, for the holy spirit to bear witness,
- 00:13:15.070 --> 00:13:17.206
- That means there must be an action executed.
- 00:13:17.206 --> 00:13:19.775
- God does not guide a parked car, all right?
- 00:13:19.775 --> 00:13:23.045
- Gps does not work, the voice doesn't activate, all right?
- 00:13:23.045 --> 00:13:26.982
- It doesn't give you directions when you are stationary, amen?
- 00:13:26.982 --> 00:13:30.653
- You do nothing, there's nothing to bear witness, right?
- 00:13:30.653 --> 00:13:34.023
- It's only when you step out, amen, he bears witness.
- 00:13:34.023 --> 00:13:37.259
- "mm-mm," all right?
- 00:13:37.259 --> 00:13:38.594
- You don't feel that's right.
- 00:13:38.594 --> 00:13:39.929
- You say something, "mm-mm, that's not right,"
- 00:13:39.929 --> 00:13:42.097
- Or you say something and you feel good.
- 00:13:42.097 --> 00:13:43.933
- Amen, the spirit of god is telling you, "go on," amen,
- 00:13:43.933 --> 00:13:46.268
- "you're on the right track," praise god.
- 00:13:46.268 --> 00:13:47.836
- All of you know you are a child of god.
- 00:13:47.836 --> 00:13:49.972
- You have this witness, amen, and the number one area
- 00:13:49.972 --> 00:13:53.008
- That he--the first area that he tells us
- 00:13:53.008 --> 00:13:55.577
- He bears witness with us
- 00:13:55.577 --> 00:13:57.079
- Is this verse that we are children of god:
- 00:13:57.079 --> 00:13:59.415
- "the spirit bears witness with us
- 00:13:59.415 --> 00:14:00.849
- That we are children of god,"
- 00:14:00.849 --> 00:14:02.751
- And this word children is not nepios.
- 00:14:02.751 --> 00:14:04.219
- It's the word teknon, which is an affectionate term
- 00:14:04.219 --> 00:14:06.755
- For children, a general word for children.
- 00:14:06.755 --> 00:14:09.792
- Now, let's go on, let's go to verse 21.
- 00:14:09.792 --> 00:14:13.262
- "tell me, you who want to live under the law,
- 00:14:13.262 --> 00:14:16.398
- Do you know what the law actually says?"
- 00:14:16.398 --> 00:14:18.300
- Now here, the apostle paul--the entire book of galatians
- 00:14:18.300 --> 00:14:22.705
- Is because the believers that he once preached to
- 00:14:22.705 --> 00:14:26.542
- Who got saved under his ministry,
- 00:14:26.542 --> 00:14:29.144
- And then later on, he left them.
- 00:14:29.144 --> 00:14:30.746
- After for a while, he heard that some jewish teachers
- 00:14:30.746 --> 00:14:34.283
- Came amongst them and said,
- 00:14:34.283 --> 00:14:35.617
- "yeah, it's wonderful to believe in jesus.
- 00:14:35.617 --> 00:14:37.219
- That's fine and good, but now you need
- 00:14:37.219 --> 00:14:38.821
- To learn about the law."
- 00:14:38.821 --> 00:14:40.656
- And when paul heard that, paul says that "anyone that preach
- 00:14:40.656 --> 00:14:43.392
- Any other gospel"--you see, friend,
- 00:14:43.392 --> 00:14:45.394
- It's jesus alone that saves.
- 00:14:45.394 --> 00:14:47.296
- Christ alone saves, my friend.
- 00:14:47.296 --> 00:14:49.398
- It's not christ plus the law,
- 00:14:49.398 --> 00:14:51.600
- Christ plus the ten commandments,
- 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.802
- Christ plus any of your performance.
- 00:14:53.802 --> 00:14:56.538
- No, no, no, no, no, it's christ alone.
- 00:14:56.538 --> 00:14:58.607
- So when paul heard that the purity of the gospel was being
- 00:14:58.607 --> 00:15:01.043
- Compromised, and many of them--in fact, he asked them in
- 00:15:01.043 --> 00:15:03.879
- The book of galatians, "where is that sense of blessedness?
- 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.483
- In fact, at one time because of my persecution,
- 00:15:07.483 --> 00:15:09.785
- I was beaten, my eye was black and blue.
- 00:15:09.785 --> 00:15:12.087
- You would have gouged out your own eyes
- 00:15:12.087 --> 00:15:14.089
- And given your eyes to me.
- 00:15:14.089 --> 00:15:15.591
- You have so much love, and there was a sense of blessedness.
- 00:15:15.591 --> 00:15:18.660
- Where is that blessedness now?
- 00:15:18.660 --> 00:15:20.562
- It's gone, why?
- 00:15:20.562 --> 00:15:22.131
- Because you have steered away from the purity of the gospel.
- 00:15:22.131 --> 00:15:26.035
- You have steered away from grace."
- 00:15:26.035 --> 00:15:28.003
- And paul says, "ye are so soon removed from him who called you
- 00:15:28.003 --> 00:15:32.241
- Into the grace of christ," that means what?
- 00:15:32.241 --> 00:15:34.843
- The grace of christ is the true gospel.
- 00:15:34.843 --> 00:15:37.379
- He says, "i am amazed that you are so soon removed from him
- 00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:41.050
- Who called you into the grace of christ,
- 00:15:41.050 --> 00:15:43.152
- Into another gospel."
- 00:15:43.152 --> 00:15:45.254
- So some of these jewish teachers came and taught them,
- 00:15:45.254 --> 00:15:48.857
- "okay, the belief in grace, grace is good.
- 00:15:48.857 --> 00:15:51.493
- In fact, you are saved by grace, but you need to keep the law
- 00:15:51.493 --> 00:15:54.196
- Now," okay, and paul says, "no, no, no, no," okay?
- 00:15:54.196 --> 00:15:57.933
- Paul says, "that is a false gospel," amen,
- 00:15:57.933 --> 00:16:00.803
- "and that will cause you to come under the curse."
- 00:16:00.803 --> 00:16:03.272
- Paul's pronounced a double curse in chapter 1 of galatians
- 00:16:03.272 --> 00:16:06.875
- On anyone who does not preach the true gospel, amen?
- 00:16:06.875 --> 00:16:11.447
- The bible says, "if there was a law which could have given life,
- 00:16:11.447 --> 00:16:14.783
- Verily, truly righteousness would have been by the law,"
- 00:16:14.783 --> 00:16:17.920
- But no one can keep the law.
- 00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:20.189
- "and the law is not of faith, and the man that doeth them
- 00:16:20.189 --> 00:16:23.325
- Shall live in them," and the bible says, in fact,
- 00:16:23.325 --> 00:16:25.594
- "for as many as are of the works"--not break the law,
- 00:16:25.594 --> 00:16:29.364
- But "for as many as are of the works of the law
- 00:16:29.364 --> 00:16:32.968
- Are under the curse."
- 00:16:32.968 --> 00:16:34.736
- You have to keep all, or else you come under the curse.
- 00:16:34.736 --> 00:16:36.572
- The moment you take a position on the law for blessings,
- 00:16:36.572 --> 00:16:39.842
- For justification, amen, to be right with god, amen?
- 00:16:39.842 --> 00:16:44.446
- You think you're pleasing god--the moment
- 00:16:44.446 --> 00:16:46.048
- You take that position, you come under the curse.
- 00:16:46.048 --> 00:16:50.185
- Amen, the bible says, "the righteous by faith shall live,"
- 00:16:50.185 --> 00:16:55.190
- Hallelujah, amen.
- 00:16:55.190 --> 00:16:56.825
- And that's why i love preaching about the righteousness
- 00:16:56.825 --> 00:16:58.627
- By faith, because this is the essence
- 00:16:58.627 --> 00:17:00.762
- Of the gospel, hallelujah.
- 00:17:00.762 --> 00:17:02.731
- So paul finally used this argument:
- 00:17:02.731 --> 00:17:05.067
- "since you like the law so much, guys, let me tell you this.
- 00:17:05.067 --> 00:17:07.102
- You who desire to be under the law,
- 00:17:07.102 --> 00:17:09.738
- Do you know what the law actually says?
- 00:17:09.738 --> 00:17:12.307
- The scriptures say that abraham had two sons."
- 00:17:12.307 --> 00:17:16.812
- Name me the two sons: isaac from his wife,
- 00:17:16.812 --> 00:17:20.649
- His lawful wife, sarah,
- 00:17:20.649 --> 00:17:23.752
- And ishmael, remember ishmael?
- 00:17:23.752 --> 00:17:25.988
- Ishmael came first from his servant hagar.
- 00:17:25.988 --> 00:17:30.526
- Okay, so "one from his slave wife," there's hagar,
- 00:17:30.526 --> 00:17:33.795
- And "one from his freeborn wife," and that is sarah.
- 00:17:33.795 --> 00:17:37.966
- "the son of the slave wife was born in a human attempt
- 00:17:37.966 --> 00:17:42.504
- To bring about the fulfillment of god's promise."
- 00:17:42.504 --> 00:17:46.475
- Okay, so "the son of the slave wife was born in a human attempt
- 00:17:46.475 --> 00:17:49.411
- To bring about the fulfillment of god's promise."
- 00:17:49.411 --> 00:17:51.813
- In the king james, it says "born after the flesh."
- 00:17:51.813 --> 00:17:54.550
- So after the flesh--we have this idea to want
- 00:17:54.550 --> 00:17:56.919
- After the flesh means sexual sins.
- 00:17:56.919 --> 00:17:58.687
- No, no, in fact, you start in the flesh, then you end up in
- 00:17:58.687 --> 00:18:02.391
- Sexual sins, because the flesh means your human effort.
- 00:18:02.391 --> 00:18:05.594
- The more you try, the worse it is, amen?
- 00:18:05.594 --> 00:18:09.064
- So the bible says that "born after the flesh"
- 00:18:09.064 --> 00:18:11.900
- Means to be "born in a human attempt," human effort.
- 00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:16.371
- So when abraham's body was dead and sarah's womb was also dead,
- 00:18:16.371 --> 00:18:21.877
- Amen, god promised isaac.
- 00:18:21.877 --> 00:18:24.913
- Isaac would come, so isaac was born, okay?
- 00:18:24.913 --> 00:18:27.749
- "the son of a freeborn wife was born as god's own fulfillment
- 00:18:27.749 --> 00:18:31.320
- Of his promise," in other words, with resurrection power, amen?
- 00:18:31.320 --> 00:18:35.357
- So isaac was born when naturally,
- 00:18:35.357 --> 00:18:37.859
- Abraham and sarah could not have a child.
- 00:18:37.859 --> 00:18:41.430
- Amen, their body was now dead.
- 00:18:41.430 --> 00:18:43.765
- And the bible says--i love this, ladies listen.
- 00:18:43.765 --> 00:18:46.335
- The bible says that "through faith" in hebrews 11,
- 00:18:46.335 --> 00:18:49.171
- "sarah received strength."
- 00:18:49.171 --> 00:18:51.206
- And the word strength in the greek is dunamis.
- 00:18:51.206 --> 00:18:53.175
- Dynamite, where do you get the word dynamite?
- 00:18:53.175 --> 00:18:54.910
- Dunamis, "she received strength to conceive seed,"
- 00:18:54.910 --> 00:18:58.413
- And receiving this strength did something to her--her body.
- 00:18:58.413 --> 00:19:02.718
- It causes her to be fruitful, it causes her to be renewed in her
- 00:19:02.718 --> 00:19:06.421
- Youth, and this renewal is not something spiritual, friend.
- 00:19:06.421 --> 00:19:10.559
- All right?
- 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.294
- It's both spiritual as well as physical.
- 00:19:12.294 --> 00:19:13.662
- Why do i say physical?
- 00:19:13.662 --> 00:19:14.997
- Because, remember, a philistine king saw her,
- 00:19:14.997 --> 00:19:18.133
- And these philistine kings, they go by their eyes.
- 00:19:18.133 --> 00:19:20.035
- They don't go by spiritual sense of her beauty.
- 00:19:20.035 --> 00:19:23.105
- No, no, they have no spiritual sense.
- 00:19:23.105 --> 00:19:24.740
- Amen, he went by his eyes, and he saw that sarah
- 00:19:24.740 --> 00:19:27.075
- Was beautiful at the age of 89.
- 00:19:27.075 --> 00:19:32.014
- Think about it, at 89.
- 00:19:32.014 --> 00:19:34.049
- I understand it when she was younger,
- 00:19:34.049 --> 00:19:35.384
- But now at 89 years old,
- 00:19:35.384 --> 00:19:37.019
- So something happened and he brought her into his harem.
- 00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:40.322
- What i'm trying to say is that god renewed her youth so much so
- 00:19:40.322 --> 00:19:43.825
- That even a heathen king wanted her for his harem.
- 00:19:43.825 --> 00:19:47.663
- Let's go on.
- 00:19:47.663 --> 00:19:49.298
- So, "these two women
- 00:19:49.298 --> 00:19:50.632
- Serve as an illustration
- 00:19:50.632 --> 00:19:51.967
- Of god's two covenants."
- 00:19:51.967 --> 00:19:53.302
- It's very interesting, paul is a rabbi of rabbis, amen?
- 00:19:53.302 --> 00:19:56.805
- He sat at the feet of gamaliel, a top jewish rabbi in his day,
- 00:19:56.805 --> 00:20:01.109
- And he knows about the interpretation of that,
- 00:20:01.109 --> 00:20:03.312
- And this is the highest form of--one of the highest
- 00:20:03.312 --> 00:20:05.614
- In spiritual interpretations.
- 00:20:05.614 --> 00:20:08.150
- He saw these two women as two covenants.
- 00:20:08.150 --> 00:20:11.219
- All right, "these two women serve as an illustration
- 00:20:11.219 --> 00:20:13.155
- Of god's two covenants.
- 00:20:13.155 --> 00:20:14.923
- The first woman, hagar, represents mount sinai
- 00:20:14.923 --> 00:20:19.361
- Where people receive the law that enslaved them."
- 00:20:19.361 --> 00:20:22.197
- So this hagar is actually mount sinai.
- 00:20:22.197 --> 00:20:25.133
- Where did the ten commandments come from?
- 00:20:25.133 --> 00:20:27.035
- Mount sinai, amen.
- 00:20:27.035 --> 00:20:28.603
- All the laws came from mount sinai,
- 00:20:28.603 --> 00:20:31.106
- And this mount sinai is hagar, all right?
- 00:20:31.106 --> 00:20:34.042
- And the result is what?
- 00:20:34.042 --> 00:20:35.577
- "where people received the law that enslaved them."
- 00:20:35.577 --> 00:20:38.580
- The king james says, "it gendereth bondage."
- 00:20:38.580 --> 00:20:42.184
- And now, jerusalem is just like mount sinai in arabia,
- 00:20:42.184 --> 00:20:47.222
- "because she and"--jerusalem, "and her children live
- 00:20:47.222 --> 00:20:51.159
- In slavery to the law."
- 00:20:51.159 --> 00:20:54.229
- And paul says, "that's why my jewish people right now,
- 00:20:54.229 --> 00:20:56.865
- They are in slavery," why?
- 00:20:56.865 --> 00:20:58.567
- Because they are under the law.
- 00:20:58.567 --> 00:21:00.268
- They are going back into infancy.
- 00:21:00.268 --> 00:21:03.171
- They are going back--they are actually backsliding
- 00:21:03.171 --> 00:21:05.440
- In the sense of that work.
- 00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:07.008
- They are falling from grace, and he says that it's bondage.
- 00:21:07.008 --> 00:21:12.514
- "but the other woman, sarah,
- 00:21:12.514 --> 00:21:15.083
- Represents the heavenly jerusalem.
- 00:21:15.083 --> 00:21:17.686
- She is the free woman, and she is our mother."
- 00:21:17.686 --> 00:21:21.089
- Who is your mother?
- 00:21:22.290 --> 00:21:26.128
- "as isaiah said, 'rejoice, o childless woman,
- 00:21:24.025 --> 00:21:28.797
- You who have never given birth,'"
- 00:21:28.797 --> 00:21:30.399
- Referring to sarah because she was barren
- 00:21:30.399 --> 00:21:32.834
- All her life, "'break into a joyful shout,
- 00:21:32.834 --> 00:21:36.538
- You who have never been in labor!
- 00:21:36.538 --> 00:21:38.774
- For the desolate woman now has more children.'"
- 00:21:38.774 --> 00:21:42.644
- Amen, under grace, she will have "more children than the woman
- 00:21:42.644 --> 00:21:45.881
- Who lives with her husband."
- 00:21:45.881 --> 00:21:47.282
- Let me tell you this: god was saying,
- 00:21:47.282 --> 00:21:48.717
- "when you were under the law,
- 00:21:48.717 --> 00:21:50.318
- How many people do you have that followed the law
- 00:21:50.318 --> 00:21:52.754
- Around the world?"
- 00:21:52.754 --> 00:21:54.189
- It was confined to israel, but now, the children of grace
- 00:21:54.189 --> 00:21:57.125
- Is all over the world, amen.
- 00:21:57.125 --> 00:21:59.294
- It includes the jews and gentiles from every tribe,
- 00:21:59.294 --> 00:22:02.898
- Every tongue, every language,
- 00:22:02.898 --> 00:22:04.433
- Every nation of the world, amen.
- 00:22:04.433 --> 00:22:06.535
- Under grace, you will produce so much more.
- 00:22:06.535 --> 00:22:08.236
- In fact, this verse is taken from isaiah 54.
- 00:22:08.236 --> 00:22:11.072
- That comes after isaiah 53, that talks about
- 00:22:11.072 --> 00:22:13.742
- Our lord jesus christ and his sufferings,
- 00:22:13.742 --> 00:22:16.611
- Where you find, "surely, he has borne our diseases
- 00:22:16.611 --> 00:22:18.747
- And carried our pains, and we have seen him
- 00:22:18.747 --> 00:22:20.749
- Smitten of god and afflicted, but he was wounded
- 00:22:20.749 --> 00:22:24.119
- For our transgression," and goes on all the way to,
- 00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:26.388
- "with his stripes, we are healed."
- 00:22:26.388 --> 00:22:27.823
- All that is in isaiah 53.
- 00:22:27.823 --> 00:22:30.625
- Isaiah 54 verse 1 says, "'rejoice, o barren woman!'
- 00:22:30.625 --> 00:22:34.696
- The only response god wants you to have is rejoice.
- 00:22:34.696 --> 00:22:38.967
- You rejoice over a finished work.
- 00:22:38.967 --> 00:22:40.969
- You rejoice because you see something, amen?
- 00:22:40.969 --> 00:22:44.072
- And god is saying in the following verses, all right,
- 00:22:44.072 --> 00:22:47.843
- God says, "break forth on the right hand and on the left.
- 00:22:47.843 --> 00:22:50.579
- Get ready for growth," amen.
- 00:22:50.579 --> 00:22:52.814
- "lengthen your cords," amen, "enlarge your tents."
- 00:22:52.814 --> 00:22:56.518
- I believe there's a word for some of you, amen.
- 00:22:56.518 --> 00:22:58.420
- God is saying, "prepare for that miracle."
- 00:22:58.420 --> 00:23:00.355
- If you believe in god for a baby,
- 00:23:00.355 --> 00:23:01.923
- Start buying baby clothes, amen.
- 00:23:01.923 --> 00:23:03.625
- If you believe in god for a male child,
- 00:23:03.625 --> 00:23:05.427
- Amen, start buying boy clothes.
- 00:23:05.427 --> 00:23:07.229
- You don't have to wait, amen, until the baby is there.
- 00:23:07.229 --> 00:23:09.865
- Start preparing for growth.
- 00:23:09.865 --> 00:23:11.633
- Show god your faith, man.
- 00:23:11.633 --> 00:23:13.001
- God is saying, "all right, start preparing.
- 00:23:13.001 --> 00:23:15.470
- Enlarge your tents," amen.
- 00:23:15.470 --> 00:23:17.005
- "strengthen your stakes.
- 00:23:17.005 --> 00:23:18.607
- Prepare for the miracle.
- 00:23:18.607 --> 00:23:19.941
- Prepare for growth for the children of the desolate woman,
- 00:23:19.941 --> 00:23:23.245
- The barren woman, the children of sarah.
- 00:23:23.245 --> 00:23:24.980
- We're more than the daughters of hagar," amen.
- 00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:29.518
- I believe this.
- 00:23:29.518 --> 00:23:30.986
- People believe that it's only by grace we are blessed, only by
- 00:23:30.986 --> 00:23:34.022
- Grace we are justified, only by--everything is by grace.
- 00:23:34.022 --> 00:23:37.692
- How can we take the credit?
- 00:23:37.692 --> 00:23:39.594
- How can we be proud?
- 00:23:39.594 --> 00:23:41.897
- It's people who feel like, "it's part grace and part my effort.
- 00:23:41.897 --> 00:23:45.467
- We must do our part."
- 00:23:45.467 --> 00:23:47.502
- No, our part is to believe what has been done, amen.
- 00:23:47.502 --> 00:23:51.506
- And then even the performance of our service and our ministry
- 00:23:51.506 --> 00:23:55.911
- And our duties come out of the empowering first.
- 00:23:55.911 --> 00:23:58.847
- It is god who works in you, both to will
- 00:23:58.847 --> 00:24:02.684
- And to do of his good pleasure.
- 00:24:02.684 --> 00:24:04.719
- He gives you the willingness and he gives you the performance,
- 00:24:04.719 --> 00:24:07.289
- So give him all the glory, friend.
- 00:24:07.289 --> 00:24:09.324
- If god wants to have all the glory, i say this reverently:
- 00:24:09.324 --> 00:24:12.794
- Let him do everything, amen, for you, in you, through you,
- 00:24:12.794 --> 00:24:19.034
- As you rest in him.
- 00:24:19.034 --> 00:24:20.535
- And you know when it's by grace, and you know it's by grace,
- 00:24:20.535 --> 00:24:22.837
- And you know that you don't deserve it,
- 00:24:22.837 --> 00:24:24.839
- You will just readily give him
- 00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:27.108
- All the praise and all the glory.
- 00:24:27.108 --> 00:24:29.277
- It will be spontaneous from your heart, amen, hallelujah.
- 00:24:29.277 --> 00:24:33.582
- Male announcer: pastor joseph prince will return in a moment
- 00:24:33.648 --> 00:24:36.017
- With a special prayer to close today's program
- 00:24:36.017 --> 00:24:38.019
- Right after this.
- 00:24:38.019 --> 00:24:39.854
- If today's program has blessed you and you want to learn
- 00:24:39.854 --> 00:24:42.157
