  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.819
  • Joseph prince: you know what's god's will for healing?
  • 00:00:13.188 --> 00:00:14.156
  • Look at jesus in the gospels,
  • 00:00:15.124 --> 00:00:17.526
  • Not the jesus of people's imaginations
  • 00:00:17.526 --> 00:00:20.395
  • Or certain denomination's perspective
  • 00:00:20.395 --> 00:00:23.365
  • Or someone's opinion but the jesus of the bible
  • 00:00:23.365 --> 00:00:26.468
  • As revealed, especially matthew, mark, luke, and john.
  • 00:00:26.468 --> 00:00:30.405
  • You see him going around healing all.
  • 00:00:30.405 --> 00:00:33.642
  • The bible says everyone that reached out to him to touch him,

  • Every one that beseeched him, every one of them that responded

  • To him were healed, amen.
  • 00:00:41.183 --> 00:00:45.654
  • So that's important for us to know that, amen.
  • 00:00:45.654 --> 00:00:48.490
  • God is the healer, amen?
  • 00:00:48.490 --> 00:00:50.492
  • God loves you, and god wants to heal you, amen.
  • 00:00:50.492 --> 00:00:53.929
  • Praise the name of jesus.
  • 00:00:53.929 --> 00:00:55.264
  • So healing is a priority with god, praise the lord.
  • 00:00:55.264 --> 00:00:58.567

  • Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:02:09.338 --> 00:02:11.540
  • With today's program.
  • 00:02:11.540 --> 00:02:12.874
  • Joseph prince: we've been touching on
  • 00:02:12.874 --> 00:02:14.209
  • The subject of healing,
  • 00:02:14.209 --> 00:02:15.544
  • And it's something that god is restoring in these last days.
  • 00:02:15.544 --> 00:02:18.747
  • And, friend, sometimes we treat this subject with an attitude
  • 00:02:18.747 --> 00:02:24.119
  • Of, like, take it or leave it, you know?
  • 00:02:24.119 --> 00:02:25.988
  • It can be a subject you wanna preach on.
  • 00:02:25.988 --> 00:02:27.789
  • You know, you're happy about it, preach it.
  • 00:02:27.789 --> 00:02:29.891
  • You know, but it's not necessary.
  • 00:02:29.891 --> 00:02:31.360
  • It's not an important doctrine.
  • 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:32.861
  • Let me tell you this: jesus died on the cross, amen,
  • 00:02:32.861 --> 00:02:36.965
  • For our sins, amen,
  • 00:02:36.965 --> 00:02:39.134
  • To remove sins from our-- from the eyes of a holy god
  • 00:02:39.134 --> 00:02:43.372
  • From our lives--amen?-- so that we stand before god.
  • 00:02:43.372 --> 00:02:46.208
  • You see, there's still sin in us.
  • 00:02:46.208 --> 00:02:47.676
  • Even today there's still sin in us.
  • 00:02:47.676 --> 00:02:49.411
  • But there's no sin on us in god's eyes,
  • 00:02:49.411 --> 00:02:52.948
  • Because it's all been removed at the cross.
  • 00:02:52.948 --> 00:02:55.450
  • Let me say that one more time, all right?
  • 00:02:55.450 --> 00:02:57.119
  • Though there's sin in us, and we know,
  • 00:02:57.119 --> 00:02:59.488
  • We feel its temptations, we feel its tendencies,
  • 00:02:59.488 --> 00:03:01.523
  • Its inclinations, its proclivities,
  • 00:03:01.523 --> 00:03:03.792
  • But there's no sin on us in the eyes of god.
  • 00:03:03.792 --> 00:03:07.829
  • Won't you think that that's the greatest blessing of all?
  • 00:03:07.829 --> 00:03:11.266
  • But the second blessing-- if i ask you,
  • 00:03:11.266 --> 00:03:13.101
  • "what is the second priority in terms of blessings?
  • 00:03:13.101 --> 00:03:15.771
  • What's the second greatest blessing
  • 00:03:15.771 --> 00:03:17.639
  • You can ever receive from god?"
  • 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:19.508
  • What would you say it is?
  • 00:03:19.508 --> 00:03:22.110
  • It's gonna be healing, according to the bible.
  • 00:03:22.110 --> 00:03:24.846
  • And the bible says in psalms 103--it says,
  • 00:03:24.846 --> 00:03:28.317
  • "bless the lord, o my soul,
  • 00:03:28.317 --> 00:03:29.651
  • And forget not all his benefits."
  • 00:03:29.651 --> 00:03:31.720
  • Notice the first benefit, which means the greatest
  • 00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:35.457
  • Of all blessings:
  • 00:03:35.457 --> 00:03:36.792
  • "who forgives all our iniquities."
  • 00:03:36.792 --> 00:03:38.794
  • So, you would agree, right?
  • 00:03:38.794 --> 00:03:40.262
  • Forgiveness of sins, all our sins is
  • 00:03:40.262 --> 00:03:43.031
  • The greatest blessing we can ever receive from god, amen?
  • 00:03:43.031 --> 00:03:46.168
  • But notice the second: "who heals all your diseases,"
  • 00:03:46.168 --> 00:03:50.138
  • Who heals all your diseases.
  • 00:03:50.138 --> 00:03:52.074
  • You see the priority that god puts on healing?
  • 00:03:52.074 --> 00:03:54.876
  • It comes right after salvation.
  • 00:03:54.876 --> 00:03:56.211
  • And many times, you know, even jesus, when he healed,
  • 00:03:56.211 --> 00:03:58.747
  • He would say, "your sins are forgiven you."
  • 00:03:58.747 --> 00:04:01.616
  • He will tell the man who was lowered from the rooftop--
  • 00:04:01.616 --> 00:04:04.820
  • Remember the friends broke through the roof
  • 00:04:04.820 --> 00:04:06.688
  • To lower him down to where jesus was
  • 00:04:06.688 --> 00:04:08.790
  • Because they could not get in because of the crowd?
  • 00:04:08.790 --> 00:04:11.660
  • Well, jesus looked at the man,
  • 00:04:11.660 --> 00:04:12.994
  • And it was obvious he needed healing.
  • 00:04:12.994 --> 00:04:14.963
  • But jesus said to him, "your sins are forgiven you,"
  • 00:04:14.963 --> 00:04:19.401
  • First thing, amen?
  • 00:04:19.401 --> 00:04:20.736
  • He needs to be assured his sins are forgiven
  • 00:04:20.736 --> 00:04:23.004
  • Before he can receive healing.
  • 00:04:23.004 --> 00:04:24.773
  • Always remember that.
  • 00:04:24.773 --> 00:04:26.208
  • One of the primary reasons
  • 00:04:26.208 --> 00:04:27.542
  • Why people cannot receive healing, i believe,
  • 00:04:27.542 --> 00:04:29.311
  • Is because there's a condemnation about them.
  • 00:04:29.311 --> 00:04:33.248
  • There is some guilt that they are feeling, some condemnation
  • 00:04:33.248 --> 00:04:36.918
  • That they have received, amen?
  • 00:04:36.918 --> 00:04:39.054
  • And, therefore, they feel that they are not worthy enough,
  • 00:04:39.054 --> 00:04:41.590
  • They don't deserve the healing,
  • 00:04:41.590 --> 00:04:43.792
  • They are not holy enough to receive that healing.
  • 00:04:43.792 --> 00:04:47.028
  • And, friend, we have to eradicate that, amen.
  • 00:04:47.028 --> 00:04:50.265
  • Jesus did not heal the people.
  • 00:04:50.265 --> 00:04:51.600
  • When he walked on earth, he did not heal them
  • 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.335
  • Because they were holy enough.
  • 00:04:53.335 --> 00:04:54.703
  • None of them were.
  • 00:04:54.703 --> 00:04:57.305
  • But the bible says, "as many as touch him."
  • 00:04:57.305 --> 00:04:59.441
  • Now, he didn't go around healing everybody in israel.
  • 00:04:59.441 --> 00:05:03.178
  • No, not everybody in israel is healed.
  • 00:05:03.178 --> 00:05:05.981
  • Not everybody in israel is healed,
  • 00:05:06.047 --> 00:05:07.382
  • Even when jesus was here.
  • 00:05:07.382 --> 00:05:08.850
  • But the bible says everyone that reached out to him to touch him,
  • 00:05:08.850 --> 00:05:12.454
  • Everyone that beseeched him, every one of them
  • 00:05:12.454 --> 00:05:16.091
  • That responded to him were healed, amen.
  • 00:05:16.091 --> 00:05:21.096
  • So, that's important for us to know that.
  • 00:05:21.096 --> 00:05:23.365
  • And jesus says, "he that has seen me
  • 00:05:23.365 --> 00:05:26.435
  • Hath seen the father."
  • 00:05:26.435 --> 00:05:27.803
  • So, you know what's god's will for healing?
  • 00:05:27.803 --> 00:05:30.739
  • Look at jesus in the gospels,
  • 00:05:30.739 --> 00:05:33.141
  • Not the jesus of people's imaginations
  • 00:05:33.141 --> 00:05:36.011
  • Or certain denomination's perspective
  • 00:05:36.011 --> 00:05:38.980
  • Or someone's opinion but the jesus of the bible
  • 00:05:38.980 --> 00:05:42.284
  • As revealed, especially matthew, mark, luke, and john.
  • 00:05:42.284 --> 00:05:46.154
  • You see him going around healing all that were oppressed
  • 00:05:46.154 --> 00:05:50.125
  • Of the devil.
  • 00:05:50.125 --> 00:05:52.027
  • You know, friend, if healing is not that important,
  • 00:05:52.027 --> 00:05:57.766
  • If healing is not that important,
  • 00:05:57.766 --> 00:05:59.167
  • Why would jesus go around healing?
  • 00:05:59.167 --> 00:06:01.203
  • Everywhere he went, he healed. everywhere he went, he healed.
  • 00:06:01.203 --> 00:06:05.974
  • He could have just gone around forgiving sins, right?
  • 00:06:05.974 --> 00:06:08.977
  • He could have just said, "your sins be forgiven you.
  • 00:06:08.977 --> 00:06:10.812
  • Your sins be forgiven you."
  • 00:06:10.812 --> 00:06:12.147
  • But, instead, he went around, the bible says, healing,
  • 00:06:12.147 --> 00:06:15.317
  • "healing every sickness
  • 00:06:15.317 --> 00:06:16.918
  • And every disease among the people."
  • 00:06:16.918 --> 00:06:19.421
  • The lord himself gave us an example.
  • 00:06:19.421 --> 00:06:21.723
  • Everywhere he went--the bible says how god anointed
  • 00:06:21.723 --> 00:06:24.192
  • Jesus of nazareth with the holy ghost
  • 00:06:24.192 --> 00:06:26.361
  • And with power, who went about doing good
  • 00:06:26.361 --> 00:06:29.064
  • And healing all that were oppressed of the devil.
  • 00:06:29.064 --> 00:06:32.067
  • He went about doing good, and what is god's idea
  • 00:06:32.067 --> 00:06:34.803
  • Of doing good?
  • 00:06:34.803 --> 00:06:36.137
  • Healing, healing all that were oppressed of the devil.
  • 00:06:36.137 --> 00:06:39.207
  • Notice that sickness is an oppression from the devil,
  • 00:06:39.207 --> 00:06:42.844
  • Not from god, not something to teach us a lesson, amen?
  • 00:06:42.844 --> 00:06:47.449
  • Healing all that were oppressed of the devil, amen.
  • 00:06:47.449 --> 00:06:50.318
  • God is the healer, amen?
  • 00:06:50.318 --> 00:06:52.320
  • God loves you, and god wants to heal you, amen.
  • 00:06:52.320 --> 00:06:55.757
  • Praise the name of jesus.
  • 00:06:55.757 --> 00:06:57.092
  • So, healing is a priority with god.
  • 00:06:57.092 --> 00:06:59.561
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:06:59.561 --> 00:07:00.896
  • By the way, even the man that jesus pronounced,
  • 00:07:00.896 --> 00:07:03.598
  • "your sins be forgiven you," he went on to--
  • 00:07:03.598 --> 00:07:05.967
  • He proceeded to heal the man.
  • 00:07:05.967 --> 00:07:08.403
  • "rise, take up your bed and walk."
  • 00:07:08.403 --> 00:07:10.272
  • The man was healed.
  • 00:07:10.272 --> 00:07:11.740
  • So, the priority that jesus place on healing is demonstrated
  • 00:07:11.740 --> 00:07:15.677
  • In his life everywhere he went.
  • 00:07:15.677 --> 00:07:17.812
  • Now, don't spiritualize that and say,
  • 00:07:17.812 --> 00:07:19.180
  • "oh, it means spiritual healing and all that."
  • 00:07:19.180 --> 00:07:21.683
  • Friend, when we are born again, we are not spiritually healed.
  • 00:07:21.683 --> 00:07:26.421
  • Literally, we are recreated. we are regenerated.
  • 00:07:26.421 --> 00:07:30.258
  • That's what "born again" means, amen?
  • 00:07:30.258 --> 00:07:32.961
  • Now we need healing for our minds,
  • 00:07:32.961 --> 00:07:35.297
  • We need healing for our emotions,
  • 00:07:35.297 --> 00:07:37.699
  • We need healing for our bodies.
  • 00:07:37.699 --> 00:07:39.401
  • That part needs healing--amen?--
  • 00:07:39.401 --> 00:07:42.137
  • The part of our emotions, our minds--from depression.
  • 00:07:42.137 --> 00:07:45.607
  • Today it's rampant, mental depression and all that.
  • 00:07:45.607 --> 00:07:48.376
  • God wants to heal you of that, amen, amen?
  • 00:07:48.376 --> 00:07:51.580
  • And god wants to heal your body.
  • 00:07:51.580 --> 00:07:53.315
  • Praise the name of jesus, hallelujah.
  • 00:07:53.315 --> 00:07:56.217
  • So, the more i think about it, the more i look at the bible,
  • 00:07:56.217 --> 00:07:58.086
  • I can't go away from the fact that this is a priority
  • 00:07:58.086 --> 00:08:00.288
  • Of god's heart, and yet we have neglected this.
  • 00:08:00.288 --> 00:08:03.258
  • We have neglected to preach this.
  • 00:08:03.258 --> 00:08:04.593
  • And i thank god that by the time jesus comes again,
  • 00:08:04.593 --> 00:08:07.362
  • The last enemy is physical death, amen,
  • 00:08:07.362 --> 00:08:12.400
  • That will be put under his feet.
  • 00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:14.069
  • So, for jesus to say that the last enemy would be
  • 00:08:14.069 --> 00:08:16.338
  • Physical death,
  • 00:08:16.338 --> 00:08:17.672
  • That means every other enemy would have been put
  • 00:08:17.672 --> 00:08:21.242
  • Under his feet already, hallelujah!
  • 00:08:21.242 --> 00:08:24.946
  • I'm speaking to all the care leaders as well in our church.
  • 00:08:24.946 --> 00:08:28.883
  • If you're listening, listen carefully, friend.
  • 00:08:28.883 --> 00:08:31.219
  • It's incumbent on us to not just preach and teach
  • 00:08:31.219 --> 00:08:35.256
  • But to minister healing.
  • 00:08:35.256 --> 00:08:36.591
  • The lord himself gave us an example.
  • 00:08:36.591 --> 00:08:39.694
  • Look up here: "then jesus went about all the cities
  • 00:08:39.694 --> 00:08:43.832
  • And villages, teaching in their synagogues"--
  • 00:08:43.832 --> 00:08:47.202
  • Notice teaching comes first?--
  • 00:08:47.202 --> 00:08:48.937
  • "preaching the gospel of the kingdom,
  • 00:08:48.937 --> 00:08:51.239
  • And healing every sickness and every disease
  • 00:08:51.239 --> 00:08:58.213
  • Among the people," always healing.
  • 00:08:58.213 --> 00:09:00.448
  • That's the pattern of the lord.
  • 00:09:00.448 --> 00:09:01.850
  • Now let's look at john, chapter 5:
  • 00:09:01.850 --> 00:09:04.853
  • "after this there was a feast of the jews, and jesus went up
  • 00:09:04.853 --> 00:09:08.056
  • To jerusalem.
  • 00:09:08.056 --> 00:09:09.391
  • Now there is in jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool--"
  • 00:09:09.391 --> 00:09:13.361
  • Now, keep this in mind:
  • 00:09:13.361 --> 00:09:14.763
  • In jerusalem there's a place called the sheep gate.
  • 00:09:14.763 --> 00:09:17.165
  • There are a number of gates around jerusalem,
  • 00:09:17.165 --> 00:09:19.868
  • And one of the gates is called the sheep gate.
  • 00:09:19.868 --> 00:09:22.804
  • And "by the sheep gate, there was a pool,
  • 00:09:22.804 --> 00:09:24.839
  • Which is called in hebrew, bethesda, having five porches."
  • 00:09:24.839 --> 00:09:29.611
  • Now back to this again: so, the one who has the effort,
  • 00:09:29.611 --> 00:09:34.382
  • Who can step in after the angel stirs the water--right?--
  • 00:09:34.382 --> 00:09:37.719
  • It implies some effort-- he's the one that gets healed.
  • 00:09:37.719 --> 00:09:40.689
  • So, how about the guy who is lame, paralyzed?
  • 00:09:40.689 --> 00:09:44.192
  • He can't even, like-- while he's crawling,
  • 00:09:44.192 --> 00:09:47.762
  • Scooting his way through the water,
  • 00:09:47.762 --> 00:09:49.698
  • Someone else step in, which is the case here.
  • 00:09:49.698 --> 00:09:52.600
  • The bible says, "now certain man was there who had an infirmity
  • 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.670
  • Thirty-eight years.
  • 00:09:55.670 --> 00:09:57.572
  • When jesus saw him lying there,
  • 00:09:57.572 --> 00:09:59.407
  • And knew that he already had been in that condition
  • 00:09:59.407 --> 00:10:01.643
  • A long time, jesus said to him, 'do you want to be made well?'
  • 00:10:01.643 --> 00:10:07.248
  • The sick man answered him, 'sir, i have no man to put me
  • 00:10:07.248 --> 00:10:10.351
  • Into the pool when the water is stirred up;
  • 00:10:10.351 --> 00:10:13.154
  • But while i am coming, another steps down before me.'"
  • 00:10:13.154 --> 00:10:16.324
  • There you go, amen? he is lame.
  • 00:10:16.324 --> 00:10:20.361
  • He cannot. he cannot even walk, right?
  • 00:10:20.361 --> 00:10:25.333
  • "jesus said to him, 'rise, take up your bed and walk.'
  • 00:10:25.333 --> 00:10:30.772
  • And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed,
  • 00:10:30.772 --> 00:10:34.542
  • And walked.
  • 00:10:34.542 --> 00:10:35.877
  • And that day was the sabbath.
  • 00:10:35.877 --> 00:10:37.979
  • The jews therefore said to him who was cured,
  • 00:10:37.979 --> 00:10:40.315
  • 'it is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you
  • 00:10:40.315 --> 00:10:42.784
  • To carry your bed.'"
  • 00:10:42.784 --> 00:10:44.119
  • Now let's go back to the beginning.
  • 00:10:44.119 --> 00:10:45.453
  • The man, the bible says, had infirmity for 38 years.
  • 00:10:45.453 --> 00:10:48.556
  • Now, he's a picture of israel because the bible says
  • 00:10:48.556 --> 00:10:52.393
  • In deuteronomy 2-- moses is saying here,
  • 00:10:52.393 --> 00:10:55.263
  • "and the time we took to come from kadesh barnea--"
  • 00:10:55.263 --> 00:10:58.767
  • Kadesh barnea is when, you know, the spies returned,
  • 00:10:58.767 --> 00:11:02.337
  • And then they believed, the majority.
  • 00:11:02.337 --> 00:11:05.540
  • And because of that, they had to wander
  • 00:11:05.540 --> 00:11:07.175
  • Around in the wilderness.
  • 00:11:07.175 --> 00:11:08.510
  • Remember that?
  • 00:11:08.510 --> 00:11:09.844
  • Their sin of unbelief was committed
  • 00:11:09.844 --> 00:11:11.179
  • At kadesh barnea, right?
  • 00:11:11.179 --> 00:11:12.647
  • "the time we took to come from kadesh barnea
  • 00:11:12.647 --> 00:11:15.683
  • Until we crossed over the valley of the zedred
  • 00:11:15.683 --> 00:11:18.019
  • Was thirty-eight years,
  • 00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:19.854
  • Until all the generation of the men of war
  • 00:11:19.854 --> 00:11:22.056
  • Was consumed from the midst of the camp,
  • 00:11:22.056 --> 00:11:24.359
  • Just as the lord had sworn to them."
  • 00:11:24.359 --> 00:11:26.394
  • So, you have this picture of israel.
  • 00:11:26.394 --> 00:11:31.099
  • They wandered for 38 years in the wilderness
  • 00:11:31.099 --> 00:11:34.903
  • From the time of kadesh barnea, the sin of unbelief.
  • 00:11:34.903 --> 00:11:38.506
  • They didn't believe the--joshua and caleb.
  • 00:11:38.506 --> 00:11:42.010
  • But, instead, they believed the ten, again, the ten, okay?
  • 00:11:42.010 --> 00:11:45.180
  • And as a result, they had to wander for 38 years
  • 00:11:45.180 --> 00:11:49.818
  • Until the men of war all died.
  • 00:11:49.818 --> 00:11:51.186
  • Now, there's a picture here.
  • 00:11:51.186 --> 00:11:52.520
  • Sometimes the lord allows us to wander until we realize
  • 00:11:52.520 --> 00:11:56.524
  • We have no more strength left, until all the men of war--
  • 00:11:56.524 --> 00:12:00.195
  • Here today is a picture of, you know, our effort,
  • 00:12:00.195 --> 00:12:03.665
  • Our working mentality to get the things of god.
  • 00:12:03.665 --> 00:12:07.802
  • Now, you know you wanna work hard in your job--
  • 00:12:07.802 --> 00:12:10.071
  • And you should be working hard, diligent, amen?
  • 00:12:10.071 --> 00:12:12.307
  • Working hard is one thing,
  • 00:12:12.307 --> 00:12:13.641
  • But working with wisdom is what the bible
  • 00:12:13.641 --> 00:12:15.243
  • Talks about diligence, amen?
  • 00:12:15.243 --> 00:12:16.578
  • Now, when it com--that's okay,
  • 00:12:16.578 --> 00:12:18.346
  • But when it comes to the things of god, you have to apply--
  • 00:12:18.346 --> 00:12:22.217
  • Amen?--the principles of god.
  • 00:12:22.217 --> 00:12:23.818
  • And the way we receive from god today is to rest, amen,
  • 00:12:23.818 --> 00:12:28.423
  • To believe, rest and believe.
  • 00:12:28.423 --> 00:12:31.326
  • Now, notice that jesus did this miracle in john 5.
  • 00:12:31.326 --> 00:12:35.930
  • The bible says-- let's drop down to verse 10:
  • 00:12:35.930 --> 00:12:39.834
  • "the jews therefore said to him who was cured,
  • 00:12:39.834 --> 00:12:41.703
  • 'it is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you
  • 00:12:41.703 --> 00:12:43.805
  • To carry your bed.'"
  • 00:12:43.805 --> 00:12:45.974
  • Now, let's see what he said.
  • 00:12:45.974 --> 00:12:47.475
  • "he answered them, 'he who made me well said to me,
  • 00:12:47.475 --> 00:12:50.044
  • "take up your bed and walk."'"
  • 00:12:50.044 --> 00:12:51.512
  • You know, if you are lying down flat for 38 years,
  • 00:12:51.512 --> 00:12:55.116
  • You can't walk.
  • 00:12:55.116 --> 00:12:56.451
  • What is rest to you? what is rest to you?
  • 00:12:56.451 --> 00:12:59.888
  • Is rest lying down some more? no, of course not.
  • 00:12:59.888 --> 00:13:03.925
  • For the person who has been lying down
  • 00:13:03.925 --> 00:13:06.127
  • For 38 years, rest is getting up.
  • 00:13:06.127 --> 00:13:08.429
  • So, jesus says, "rise, take up your bed, and walk."
  • 00:13:08.429 --> 00:13:11.432
  • Take up your bed. take your rest, amen?
  • 00:13:11.432 --> 00:13:14.569
  • Now, you can't take it unless you are standing.
  • 00:13:14.569 --> 00:13:16.938
  • So, it's a picture of righteousness, amen.
  • 00:13:16.938 --> 00:13:18.873
  • Now you are the righteousness of god in christ.
  • 00:13:18.873 --> 00:13:21.142
  • Take your rest with you, amen? take your rest.
  • 00:13:21.142 --> 00:13:24.512
  • Walk in rest. don't leave your rest behind.
  • 00:13:24.512 --> 00:13:26.781
  • The principle of rest is still there.
  • 00:13:26.781 --> 00:13:28.716
  • Now that you are the righteousness of god
  • 00:13:28.716 --> 00:13:30.184
  • In christ, rise, take up your bed, and walk.
  • 00:13:30.184 --> 00:13:32.720
  • Only then, when we proceed from rest--amen?--
  • 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:35.223
  • And realizing our position
  • 00:13:35.223 --> 00:13:36.958
  • That we are righteous before god--amen?--
  • 00:13:36.958 --> 00:13:39.160
  • Confess daily,
  • 00:13:39.160 --> 00:13:40.495
  • "i am the righteousness of god in christ,"
  • 00:13:40.495 --> 00:13:42.530
  • Then you can walk.
  • 00:13:42.530 --> 00:13:44.065
  • Then you have the power to walk in the spirit, walk in holiness,
  • 00:13:44.065 --> 00:13:47.769
  • Walk worthy of the glory of god, hallelujah, amen,
  • 00:13:47.769 --> 00:13:51.039
  • Walk a victorious life, amen.
  • 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.875
  • And notice what they said.
  • 00:13:53.875 --> 00:13:55.209
  • The jews saw him carrying his mat, and they said,
  • 00:13:55.209 --> 00:13:59.747
  • "and today is the sabbath.
  • 00:13:59.747 --> 00:14:01.616
  • How come you're carrying the mat?"
  • 00:14:01.616 --> 00:14:03.017
  • "he answered them, 'he who made me well said to me,
  • 00:14:03.017 --> 00:14:06.688
  • "take up your bed and walk."'
  • 00:14:06.688 --> 00:14:09.557
  • Then they asked him, 'who is the man who said to you,
  • 00:14:09.557 --> 00:14:13.461
  • "take up your bed and walk"?'"
  • 00:14:13.461 --> 00:14:16.164
  • Now, let me call your attention to these two again,
  • 00:14:16.164 --> 00:14:19.000
  • These two verses.
  • 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:20.702
  • "he answered them, 'he who made me well said to me,
  • 00:14:20.702 --> 00:14:25.006
  • "take up your bed and walk."'"
  • 00:14:25.006 --> 00:14:26.341
  • Notice the emphasis of the man who was healed was
  • 00:14:26.341 --> 00:14:28.943
  • "he who made me well.
  • 00:14:28.943 --> 00:14:32.547
  • They asked him, 'who is the man who said to you,
  • 00:14:32.547 --> 00:14:35.917
  • "take up your bed and walk"?'"
  • 00:14:35.917 --> 00:14:37.852
  • Their focus was on work.
  • 00:14:37.852 --> 00:14:41.055
  • Their focus was not on the fact that he was healed.
  • 00:14:41.055 --> 00:14:43.925
  • Now, which is supernatural?
  • 00:14:43.925 --> 00:14:47.662
  • Which is really something that will bring joy to your heart:
  • 00:14:47.662 --> 00:14:50.698
  • To know that your body is healed
  • 00:14:50.698 --> 00:14:52.867
  • Or take up your bed and walk, amen?
  • 00:14:52.867 --> 00:14:56.371
  • Which is the work that they are emphasizing.
  • 00:14:56.371 --> 00:14:58.506
  • So, it's a method of perspective.
  • 00:14:58.506 --> 00:15:00.008
  • For them, they look at the man
  • 00:15:00.008 --> 00:15:02.310
  • And they ask the question "it is a sabbath day.
  • 00:15:02.310 --> 00:15:04.979
  • Why are you carrying your bed?"
  • 00:15:04.979 --> 00:15:08.383
  • His answer was "he who made me well said to me,
  • 00:15:08.383 --> 00:15:11.452
  • 'take up your bed and walk.'"
  • 00:15:11.452 --> 00:15:13.321
  • And they said--instead of saying that "he made him well,"
  • 00:15:13.321 --> 00:15:17.291
  • "tell me who made you well," right?
  • 00:15:17.291 --> 00:15:18.893
  • "come on, tell me who made you well.
  • 00:15:18.893 --> 00:15:20.261
  • I wanna bring him to see my aunt,
  • 00:15:20.261 --> 00:15:22.397
  • Who is flat on her back with this paralysis.
  • 00:15:22.397 --> 00:15:25.967
  • And come tell me who is the one that makes you well.
  • 00:15:25.967 --> 00:15:29.337
  • Tell me who is the man. i wanna bring him to see my son.
  • 00:15:29.337 --> 00:15:32.140
  • I wanna bring him to see my daughter.
  • 00:15:32.140 --> 00:15:33.641
  • Come on, tell me, tell me who is the man,"
  • 00:15:33.641 --> 00:15:36.244
  • Instead of focusing on that.
  • 00:15:36.244 --> 00:15:39.180
  • And there are people like that today, you know?
  • 00:15:39.180 --> 00:15:40.515
  • They won't focus on the ten people that are healed.
  • 00:15:40.515 --> 00:15:44.018
  • They will focus on someone who is not healed
  • 00:15:44.018 --> 00:15:46.087
  • And start to berate the entire ministry.
  • 00:15:46.087 --> 00:15:49.357
  • No, it's a matter of focus, amen.
  • 00:15:49.357 --> 00:15:51.626
  • They look at that and they are focused on work.
  • 00:15:51.626 --> 00:15:55.196
  • "no, no, you broke the sabbath. you are carrying the bed.
  • 00:15:55.196 --> 00:15:58.266
  • Who is the one that told you to carry your bed?"
  • 00:15:58.266 --> 00:16:00.134
  • Instead of "who is the one that made you well?"
  • 00:16:00.134 --> 00:16:02.470
  • And they could have been well as well before the day ends, hm?
  • 00:16:02.470 --> 00:16:06.641
  • It reminds me of the time when jesus was in the synagogue
  • 00:16:06.641 --> 00:16:10.111
  • One time, and there was a woman who was bowed down
  • 00:16:10.111 --> 00:16:12.513
  • For 18 years, all right?
  • 00:16:12.513 --> 00:16:14.082
  • That's the number of the antichrist:
  • 00:16:14.082 --> 00:16:15.716
  • 6 plus 6 plus 6, 18.
  • 00:16:15.716 --> 00:16:18.119
  • Eighteen is the number of bondage in the bible.
  • 00:16:18.119 --> 00:16:21.389
  • You read in the judges about 18 years of bondage--you know?--
  • 00:16:21.389 --> 00:16:24.859
  • More than one time.
  • 00:16:24.859 --> 00:16:26.194
  • And here she's bowed down for 18 years.
  • 00:16:26.194 --> 00:16:29.263
  • Imagine identifying people
  • 00:16:29.263 --> 00:16:30.998
  • By their toes everywhere she went,
  • 00:16:30.998 --> 00:16:32.834
  • And then jesus saw her.
  • 00:16:32.834 --> 00:16:34.168
  • Now, it's amazing because, in that day and age,
  • 00:16:34.168 --> 00:16:36.370
  • The women are up there and they are not seen.
  • 00:16:36.370 --> 00:16:39.874
  • They are not in the synagogue below,
  • 00:16:39.874 --> 00:16:43.177
  • But they are up there where there is a lattice
  • 00:16:43.177 --> 00:16:45.947
  • Through which they peer through the service.
  • 00:16:45.947 --> 00:16:48.816
  • Jesus called her, the bible says.
  • 00:16:48.816 --> 00:16:50.218
  • And even more so when she is bowed down,
  • 00:16:50.218 --> 00:16:52.253
  • How could they have seen her?
  • 00:16:52.253 --> 00:16:53.588
  • Yet he sees.
  • 00:16:53.588 --> 00:16:54.922
  • You know, he sees you with all your needs.
  • 00:16:54.922 --> 00:16:56.290
  • You think that no one sees your tears that you cry,
  • 00:16:56.290 --> 00:16:58.493
  • You know, at night or privately.
  • 00:16:58.493 --> 00:17:01.796
  • The lord sees it.
  • 00:17:01.796 --> 00:17:04.699
  • And he says to you, "for those tears, i died," amen?
  • 00:17:04.699 --> 00:17:07.835
  • "i see every tear."
  • 00:17:07.835 --> 00:17:09.303
  • And the bible even says he puts your tears--
  • 00:17:09.303 --> 00:17:11.038
  • They are not wasted-- he puts your tears
  • 00:17:11.038 --> 00:17:12.573
  • In a bottle, amen.
  • 00:17:12.573 --> 00:17:15.076
  • For every tear, there will be a recompense.
  • 00:17:15.076 --> 00:17:18.446
  • There will be a restoration, hallelujah, amen?
  • 00:17:18.446 --> 00:17:22.750
  • And you rejoice when the day of restoration
  • 00:17:22.750 --> 00:17:24.352
  • Comes, hallelujah.
  • 00:17:24.352 --> 00:17:25.686
  • So, he called her and the bible says, "jesus said to her,
  • 00:17:25.686 --> 00:17:27.722
  • 'woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.'"
  • 00:17:27.722 --> 00:17:31.759
  • And the very first face she saw was our lord jesus,
  • 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.963
  • His beautiful eyes of love looking at her, amen?
  • 00:17:35.963 --> 00:17:38.833
  • She was completely healed.
  • 00:17:38.833 --> 00:17:40.168
  • The 18 years of bondage, completely healed--
  • 00:17:40.168 --> 00:17:42.770
  • Just like the man, healed, 38 years of disease.
  • 00:17:42.770 --> 00:17:49.377
  • And look at this.
  • 00:17:49.377 --> 00:17:50.711
  • Follow the story now: "and he laid his hands on her.
  • 00:17:50.711 --> 00:17:53.414
  • She was made straight and glorified god.
  • 00:17:53.414 --> 00:17:55.750
  • But the ruler of the synagogue--"
  • 00:17:55.750 --> 00:17:57.518
  • Now, one of his church members just got healed.
  • 00:17:57.518 --> 00:18:00.154
  • He should be really happy, isn't it?
  • 00:18:00.154 --> 00:18:02.723
  • But look at this guy: "the ruler of the synagogue answered
  • 00:18:02.723 --> 00:18:05.493
  • With indignation, because jesus had healed on the sabbath;
  • 00:18:05.493 --> 00:18:09.730
  • And he said to the crowd,
  • 00:18:09.730 --> 00:18:11.065
  • 'there are six days on which men ought to work;
  • 00:18:11.065 --> 00:18:14.168
  • Therefore come and be healed on them,
  • 00:18:14.168 --> 00:18:16.370
  • And not on the sabbath day.'"
  • 00:18:16.370 --> 00:18:18.005
  • Notice his emphasis: "six days on which men ought to work;
  • 00:18:18.005 --> 00:18:22.810
  • Therefore come and be healed on them.
  • 00:18:22.810 --> 00:18:25.613
  • For him, come and be healed when men are working."
  • 00:18:25.613 --> 00:18:30.384
  • In other words, he sees healing as man's work.
  • 00:18:30.384 --> 00:18:35.957
  • A number of years ago, the lord said this to me.
  • 00:18:35.957 --> 00:18:38.159
  • When i read this passage, he says, "the biggest mistake"--
  • 00:18:38.159 --> 00:18:41.362
  • He used the word the "biggest mistake"--
  • 00:18:41.362 --> 00:18:42.763
  • "those people made in the synagogue,"
  • 00:18:42.763 --> 00:18:45.666
  • Amen, "and the biggest mistake that my people are making today
  • 00:18:45.666 --> 00:18:49.804
  • Is to see healing as man's work,
  • 00:18:49.804 --> 00:18:53.574
  • Just like this ruler of the synagogue."
  • 00:18:53.574 --> 00:18:55.543
  • "come on a day when man is working and be healed
  • 00:18:55.543 --> 00:18:58.379
  • And not on the sabbath."
  • 00:18:58.379 --> 00:19:00.781
  • And jesus answered, "the lord answered him
  • 00:19:00.781 --> 00:19:02.416
  • And said, 'hypocrite!
  • 00:19:02.416 --> 00:19:03.751
  • Does not each one of you on the sabbath lose his ox
  • 00:19:03.751 --> 00:19:06.320
  • Or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?'"
  • 00:19:06.320 --> 00:19:09.824
  • So, to heal the sick is to water it,
  • 00:19:09.824 --> 00:19:13.794
  • To water them, to give them water, amen.
  • 00:19:13.794 --> 00:19:16.731
  • That's how the lord sees it.
  • 00:19:16.731 --> 00:19:18.065
  • "so ought not this woman,
  • 00:19:18.065 --> 00:19:19.400
  • Being a daughter of abraham, whom satan has bound--
  • 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.270
  • Think of it-- for eighteen years,
  • 00:19:22.270 --> 00:19:23.938
  • Be loosed from this bond on the sabbath?"
  • 00:19:23.938 --> 00:19:27.141
  • Notice both of them said "ought."
  • 00:19:27.141 --> 00:19:29.677
  • But notice the ruler of the synagogue, his "ought."
  • 00:19:29.677 --> 00:19:31.779
  • Let's compare it. his "ought" is like this.
  • 00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:34.282
  • "there are six days on which man ought to work."
  • 00:19:34.282 --> 00:19:37.885
  • Jesus said, "so ought not this woman...
  • 00:19:37.885 --> 00:19:41.188
  • Be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?"
  • 00:19:41.188 --> 00:19:45.092
  • It's a matter of perspective, amen.
  • 00:19:45.092 --> 00:19:47.561
  • The lord saw healing as a greater priority
  • 00:19:47.561 --> 00:19:51.098
  • Than keeping all your rules, amen.
  • 00:19:51.098 --> 00:19:53.434
  • He saw healing as a greater priority
  • 00:19:53.434 --> 00:19:57.171
  • Than trying to be, you know, having a good impression
  • 00:19:57.171 --> 00:20:00.941
  • On people, amen.
  • 00:20:00.941 --> 00:20:02.276
  • He sees the need more than the pride, amen?
  • 00:20:02.276 --> 00:20:07.548
  • Whereas for them, it is always the show, amen, show.
  • 00:20:07.548 --> 00:20:10.951
  • Even if the ruler of the synagogue,
  • 00:20:10.951 --> 00:20:12.286
  • One of his members just got healed,
  • 00:20:12.286 --> 00:20:13.621
  • He should rejoice,
  • 00:20:13.621 --> 00:20:14.955
  • Invite jesus back for more meetings, right?
  • 00:20:14.955 --> 00:20:19.560
  • Mm.
  • 00:20:19.560 --> 00:20:20.895
  • Back to john 5. i'm excited.
  • 00:20:20.895 --> 00:20:23.431
  • Look at the truth of john 5: "and so the one who was healed
  • 00:20:23.431 --> 00:20:27.735
  • Did not know who it was.
  • 00:20:27.735 --> 00:20:29.070
  • Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.
  • 00:20:29.070 --> 00:20:32.106
  • Afterward jesus found him in the temple, and said to him,
  • 00:20:32.106 --> 00:20:34.275
  • 'see, you have been made well.
  • 00:20:34.275 --> 00:20:36.210
  • Sin no more, lest the worst thing
  • 00:20:36.210 --> 00:20:37.645
  • Come upon you.'"
  • 00:20:37.645 --> 00:20:38.979
  • Now, not every disease or sickness is caused by sin.
  • 00:20:38.979 --> 00:20:44.018
  • There are some.
  • 00:20:44.018 --> 00:20:45.353
  • For example, if someone is, you know, smoking all the time
  • 00:20:45.353 --> 00:20:48.089
  • And then he has lung cancer and then, you know,
  • 00:20:48.089 --> 00:20:52.626
  • He got healed, the lord healed him of lung cancer,
  • 00:20:52.626 --> 00:20:55.663
  • It would be good to tell him, "smoke no more," amen?
  • 00:20:55.663 --> 00:20:58.666
  • "sin no more.
  • 00:20:58.666 --> 00:21:00.000
  • Don't go back to this particular sin," amen?
  • 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:02.403
  • "lest a worse thing come upon you."
  • 00:21:02.403 --> 00:21:05.773
  • And, yes, smoking is sin because you are defiling
  • 00:21:05.773 --> 00:21:08.976
  • The temple of god, amen,
  • 00:21:08.976 --> 00:21:11.645
  • And god wants you healthy and strong.
  • 00:21:11.645 --> 00:21:12.980
  • God wants you to live very, very long, amen?
  • 00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:15.850
  • "but, pastor, do you believe i can smoke and still go
  • 00:21:15.850 --> 00:21:17.318
  • To heaven?"
  • 00:21:17.318 --> 00:21:18.652
  • You can go faster, you know, right?
  • 00:21:18.652 --> 00:21:20.454
  • So, remember this, amen, the lord loves you, okay?
  • 00:21:20.454 --> 00:21:24.125
  • So, there are some sins, like, some sexual sins, right,
  • 00:21:24.125 --> 00:21:29.196
  • Can cause syphilis, can cause problems
  • 00:21:29.196 --> 00:21:31.932
  • With people walking as well,
  • 00:21:31.932 --> 00:21:33.868
  • And probably this guy may have that problem.
  • 00:21:33.868 --> 00:21:35.603
  • I do not know. the sin is not revealed.
  • 00:21:35.603 --> 00:21:37.238
  • But jesus is saying,
  • 00:21:37.238 --> 00:21:38.572
  • "don't continue that sin that caused you this problem,
  • 00:21:38.572 --> 00:21:41.075
  • Lest a worst thing happen," okay?
  • 00:21:41.075 --> 00:21:43.811
  • "so, the man departed and told the jews that it was jesus
  • 00:21:43.811 --> 00:21:46.347
  • Who had made him well.
  • 00:21:46.347 --> 00:21:47.681
  • For this reason the jews persecuted jesus,
  • 00:21:47.681 --> 00:21:49.750
  • And sought to kill him,
  • 00:21:49.750 --> 00:21:51.352
  • Because he had done these things on the sabbath."
  • 00:21:51.352 --> 00:21:53.254
  • By the way, "because he had done these things on the sabbath"--
  • 00:21:53.254 --> 00:21:56.424
  • In the greek, the tense there is "done these things."
  • 00:21:56.424 --> 00:22:01.362
  • It's imperfect tense,
  • 00:22:01.362 --> 00:22:03.497
  • Which means it was customary for jesus to perform healings
  • 00:22:03.497 --> 00:22:10.538
  • On sabbath.
  • 00:22:10.538 --> 00:22:11.872
  • And we know that, in the gospel accounts,
  • 00:22:11.872 --> 00:22:13.441
  • There are many healings that happen on the sabbath, right?
  • 00:22:13.441 --> 00:22:18.446
  • And i believe it's the principle of "when you rest, god works."
  • 00:22:18.446 --> 00:22:21.682
  • Let's keep on reading: "but jesus answered them,
  • 00:22:21.682 --> 00:22:24.718
  • 'my father has been working until now,
  • 00:22:24.718 --> 00:22:27.388
  • And i have been working.'"
  • 00:22:27.388 --> 00:22:30.024
  • Did you hear that?
  • 00:22:30.024 --> 00:22:31.358
  • "my father has been working until now."
  • 00:22:31.358 --> 00:22:34.695
  • So, when god works, people get healed, hallelujah.
  • 00:22:34.695 --> 00:22:39.867
  • Healing is god working.
  • 00:22:39.867 --> 00:22:42.670
  • I repeat: healing is the father working, amen.
  • 00:22:42.670 --> 00:22:47.241
  • And jesus says, "and i work also.
  • 00:22:47.241 --> 00:22:49.743
  • When i see my father healing, i flow with him.
  • 00:22:49.743 --> 00:22:53.080
  • I work also."
  • 00:22:53.080 --> 00:22:54.415
  • And remember this: when god works, man should cease.
  • 00:22:54.415 --> 00:22:59.487
  • Man should rest.
  • 00:22:59.487 --> 00:23:02.056
  • And that's why the bible says, "our rest today," in hebrews 4,
  • 00:23:02.056 --> 00:23:05.960
  • "let us labour therefore to enter that rest,
  • 00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:09.163
  • Lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."
  • 00:23:09.163 --> 00:23:14.134
  • Therefore, it tells us the opposite of unbelief
  • 00:23:14.134 --> 00:23:16.203
  • Is not to rest.
  • 00:23:16.203 --> 00:23:17.671
  • And our only labor, child of god,
  • 00:23:17.671 --> 00:23:19.607
  • Your only labor today is to labor to enter the rest.
  • 00:23:19.607 --> 00:23:23.143
  • The devil comes to you and say, "what about your children?
  • 00:23:23.143 --> 00:23:25.546
  • What about that problem, that challenge, and all that--
  • 00:23:25.546 --> 00:23:27.915
  • In school?"
  • 00:23:27.915 --> 00:23:29.316
  • You know, you just say, "well, lord, i'm entering
  • 00:23:29.316 --> 00:23:32.186
  • Into your rest even for this.
  • 00:23:32.186 --> 00:23:34.121
  • I rest and i see you work."
  • 00:23:34.121 --> 00:23:35.589
  • It doesn't mean you rest, nothing will happen.
  • 00:23:35.589 --> 00:23:37.691
  • For the world, it is true, okay?
  • 00:23:37.691 --> 00:23:39.727
  • But for you, child of god, you have a shepherd, amen?
  • 00:23:39.727 --> 00:23:42.396
  • You have a father who watches over you.
  • 00:23:42.396 --> 00:23:44.398
  • When you rest, god works.
  • 00:23:44.398 --> 00:23:47.268
  • But if you wanna work, amen, god rests.
  • 00:23:47.268 --> 00:23:50.771
  • You choose, amen. when you rest, god works.
  • 00:23:50.771 --> 00:23:53.374
  • The lord is saying, "my father is working," amen?
  • 00:23:53.374 --> 00:23:57.111
  • "that man--there's a reason i'm healing on the sabbath.
  • 00:23:57.111 --> 00:23:59.914
  • It's because sabbath is man's rest day," amen.
  • 00:23:59.914 --> 00:24:02.950
  • Man rests on that day. you don't work.
  • 00:24:02.950 --> 00:24:05.920
  • And that's why jesus performs so many healings
  • 00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:07.888
  • On the sabbath, amen.
  • 00:24:07.888 --> 00:24:10.057
  • When man is rested, god is able to touch and heal.
  • 00:24:10.057 --> 00:24:13.360
  • Now, one thing about healing-- i've noticed that when people
  • 00:24:13.360 --> 00:24:15.696
  • Learn about healing and all that,
  • 00:24:15.696 --> 00:24:17.131
  • One of the things they do-- they want so much to be healed
  • 00:24:17.131 --> 00:24:19.700
  • That sometimes they get into works.
  • 00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:22.636
  • They try to-- "have i confessed all my sins?
  • 00:24:22.636 --> 00:24:26.073
  • Have i confessed the word of god enough?
  • 00:24:26.073 --> 00:24:27.808
  • Have i done this?"
  • 00:24:27.808 --> 00:24:29.143
  • And whenever you find yourself striving, no more in rest,
  • 00:24:29.143 --> 00:24:33.881
  • It's a clear example of you are now in unbelief, okay?
  • 00:24:33.881 --> 00:24:37.217
  • So, don't do that, amen?
  • 00:24:37.217 --> 00:24:38.719
  • When you find that having done all, stand and say,
  • 00:24:38.719 --> 00:24:41.388
  • "lord, i'm resting in you.
  • 00:24:41.388 --> 00:24:42.756
  • I'm resting in you.
  • 00:24:42.756 --> 00:24:44.091
  • I don't have the faith to believe for my healing,
  • 00:24:44.091 --> 00:24:46.126
  • But i'm resting in you, lord jesus, that your faith
  • 00:24:46.126 --> 00:24:49.396
  • Will carry me through.
  • 00:24:49.396 --> 00:24:50.998
  • I live by the faith of the son of god.
  • 00:24:50.998 --> 00:24:53.300
  • Lord, in regards to this situation,
  • 00:24:53.300 --> 00:24:55.402
  • My financial situation, lord, i rest in you, lord.
  • 00:24:55.402 --> 00:24:58.505
  • I thank you, lord, because you are working on it.
  • 00:24:58.505 --> 00:25:00.708
  • You are working on it, and i praise you.
  • 00:25:00.708 --> 00:25:02.242
  • My job is just to rest and to praise you,
  • 00:25:02.242 --> 00:25:04.778
  • To believe you, lord, to thank you, lord,
  • 00:25:04.778 --> 00:25:07.514
  • To enjoy your love for me,"
  • 00:25:07.514 --> 00:25:08.916
  • If you'll do that, when you rest, god will work,
  • 00:25:08.916 --> 00:25:11.919
  • And he will work wonders.
  • 00:25:11.919 --> 00:25:13.253
  • Whenever he works, he makes all things beautiful,
  • 00:25:13.253 --> 00:25:16.490
  • The bible says.
  • 00:25:16.490 --> 00:25:17.825
  • Hallelujah, praise the lord.
