  • Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:01:47.292 --> 00:01:49.494
  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:49.494 --> 00:01:50.829
  • Joseph prince: we've been touching on
  • 00:01:50.829 --> 00:01:52.164
  • The subject of healing,
  • 00:01:52.164 --> 00:01:53.498
  • And it's something that god is restoring in these last days.
  • 00:01:53.498 --> 00:01:56.702
  • And, friend, sometimes we treat this subject with an attitude
  • 00:01:56.702 --> 00:02:02.074
  • Of, like, take it or leave it, you know?
  • 00:02:02.074 --> 00:02:03.942
  • It can be a subject you wanna preach on.
  • 00:02:03.942 --> 00:02:05.744
  • You know, you're happy about it, preach it.
  • 00:02:05.744 --> 00:02:07.846
  • You know, but it's not necessary.
  • 00:02:07.846 --> 00:02:09.314
  • It's not an important doctrine.
  • 00:02:09.314 --> 00:02:10.816
  • Let me tell you this: jesus died on the cross for our sins, amen,
  • 00:02:10.816 --> 00:02:17.089
  • To remove sins from our-- from the eyes of a holy god
  • 00:02:17.089 --> 00:02:21.326
  • From our lives--amen?-- so that we stand before god.
  • 00:02:21.326 --> 00:02:24.162
  • You see, there's still sin in us.
  • 00:02:24.162 --> 00:02:25.631
  • Even today there's still sin in us.
  • 00:02:25.631 --> 00:02:27.366
  • But there's no sin on us in god's eyes,
  • 00:02:27.366 --> 00:02:30.902
  • Because it's all been removed at the cross.
  • 00:02:30.902 --> 00:02:33.405
  • Let me say that one more time, all right?
  • 00:02:33.405 --> 00:02:35.073
  • Though there's sin in us, and we know,
  • 00:02:35.073 --> 00:02:37.442
  • We feel its temptations, we feel its tendencies,
  • 00:02:37.442 --> 00:02:39.478
  • Its inclinations, its proclivities,
  • 00:02:39.478 --> 00:02:41.747
  • But there's no sin on us in the eyes of god.
  • 00:02:41.747 --> 00:02:45.784
  • Won't you think that that's the greatest blessing of all?
  • 00:02:45.784 --> 00:02:49.221
  • But the second blessing-- if i ask you,
  • 00:02:49.221 --> 00:02:51.056
  • "what is the second priority in terms of blessings?
  • 00:02:51.056 --> 00:02:53.725
  • What's the second greatest blessing
  • 00:02:53.725 --> 00:02:55.594
  • You can ever receive from god?"
  • 00:02:55.594 --> 00:02:57.462
  • What would you say it is?
  • 00:02:57.462 --> 00:03:00.065
  • It's gonna be healing, according to the bible.
  • 00:03:00.065 --> 00:03:02.801
  • And the bible says in psalms 103--it says,
  • 00:03:02.801 --> 00:03:06.271
  • "bless the lord, o my soul,
  • 00:03:06.271 --> 00:03:07.606
  • And forget not all his benefits."
  • 00:03:07.606 --> 00:03:09.675
  • Notice the first benefit, which means the greatest
  • 00:03:09.675 --> 00:03:13.412
  • Of all blessings:
  • 00:03:13.412 --> 00:03:14.746
  • "who forgives all our iniquities."
  • 00:03:14.746 --> 00:03:16.748
  • So, you would agree, right?
  • 00:03:16.748 --> 00:03:18.216
  • Forgiveness of sins, all our sins is
  • 00:03:18.216 --> 00:03:20.986
  • The greatest blessing we can ever receive from god, amen?
  • 00:03:20.986 --> 00:03:24.122
  • But notice the second: "who heals all your diseases,"
  • 00:03:24.122 --> 00:03:28.093
  • Who heals all your diseases.
  • 00:03:28.093 --> 00:03:30.028
  • You see the priority that god puts on healing?
  • 00:03:30.028 --> 00:03:32.831
  • It comes right after salvation.
  • 00:03:32.831 --> 00:03:34.166
  • And many times, you know, even jesus, when he healed,
  • 00:03:34.166 --> 00:03:36.702
  • He would say, "your sins are forgiven you."
  • 00:03:36.702 --> 00:03:39.571
  • He will tell the man who was lowered from the rooftop--
  • 00:03:39.571 --> 00:03:42.774
  • Remember the friends broke through the roof
  • 00:03:42.774 --> 00:03:44.643
  • To lower him down to where jesus was
  • 00:03:44.643 --> 00:03:46.745
  • Because they could not get in because of the crowd?
  • 00:03:46.745 --> 00:03:49.614
  • Well, jesus looked at the man,
  • 00:03:49.614 --> 00:03:50.949
  • And it was obvious he needed healing.
  • 00:03:50.949 --> 00:03:52.918
  • But jesus said to him, "your sins are forgiven you,"
  • 00:03:52.918 --> 00:03:57.356
  • First thing, amen?
  • 00:03:57.356 --> 00:03:58.690
  • He needs to be assured his sins are forgiven
  • 00:03:58.690 --> 00:04:00.959
  • Before he can receive healing.
  • 00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:02.728
  • Always remember that.
  • 00:04:02.728 --> 00:04:04.162
  • One of the primary reasons
  • 00:04:04.162 --> 00:04:05.497
  • Why people cannot receive healing, i believe,
  • 00:04:05.497 --> 00:04:07.265
  • Is because there's a condemnation about them.
  • 00:04:07.265 --> 00:04:11.203
  • There is some guilt that they are feeling, some condemnation
  • 00:04:11.203 --> 00:04:14.873
  • That they have received, amen?
  • 00:04:14.873 --> 00:04:17.008
  • And, therefore, they feel that they are not worthy enough,
  • 00:04:17.008 --> 00:04:19.544
  • They don't deserve the healing,
  • 00:04:19.544 --> 00:04:21.747
  • They are not holy enough to receive that healing.
  • 00:04:21.747 --> 00:04:24.983
  • And, friend, we have to eradicate that, amen.
  • 00:04:24.983 --> 00:04:28.220
  • Jesus did not heal the people.
  • 00:04:28.220 --> 00:04:29.554
  • When he walked on earth, he did not heal them
  • 00:04:29.554 --> 00:04:31.289
  • Because they were holy enough.
  • 00:04:31.289 --> 00:04:32.657
  • None of them were.
  • 00:04:32.657 --> 00:04:35.260
  • But the bible says, "as many as touch him."
  • 00:04:35.260 --> 00:04:37.396
  • Now, he didn't go around healing everybody in israel.
  • 00:04:37.396 --> 00:04:41.133
  • No, not everybody in israel is healed.
  • 00:04:41.133 --> 00:04:43.935
  • Not everybody in israel is healed,
  • 00:04:44.002 --> 00:04:45.337
  • Even when jesus was here.
  • 00:04:45.337 --> 00:04:46.805
  • But the bible says everyone that reached out to him to touch him,
  • 00:04:46.805 --> 00:04:50.409
  • Everyone that besieged him, every one of them
  • 00:04:50.409 --> 00:04:54.045
  • That responded to him were healed, amen.
  • 00:04:54.045 --> 00:04:59.050
  • So, that's important for us to know that.
  • 00:04:59.050 --> 00:05:01.319
  • And jesus says, "he that has seen me
  • 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.389
  • Hath seen the father."
  • 00:05:04.389 --> 00:05:05.757
  • So, you know what's god's will for healing?
  • 00:05:05.757 --> 00:05:08.693
  • Look at jesus in the gospels,
  • 00:05:08.693 --> 00:05:11.096
  • Not the jesus of people's imaginations
  • 00:05:11.096 --> 00:05:13.965
  • Or certain denomination's perspective
  • 00:05:13.965 --> 00:05:16.935
  • Or someone's opinion but the jesus of the bible
  • 00:05:16.935 --> 00:05:20.238
  • As revealed, especially matthew, mark, luke, and john.
  • 00:05:20.238 --> 00:05:24.109
  • You see him going around healing all that were oppressed
  • 00:05:24.109 --> 00:05:28.079
  • Of the devil.
  • 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.981
  • You know, friend, if healing is not that important,
  • 00:05:29.981 --> 00:05:35.720
  • If healing is not that important,
  • 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.122
  • Why would jesus go around healing?
  • 00:05:37.122 --> 00:05:39.157
  • Everywhere he went, he healed. everywhere he went, he healed.
  • 00:05:39.157 --> 00:05:43.929
  • He could have just gone around forgiving sins, right?
  • 00:05:43.929 --> 00:05:46.932
  • He could have just said, "your sins be forgiven you.
  • 00:05:46.932 --> 00:05:48.767
  • Your sins be forgiven you."
  • 00:05:48.767 --> 00:05:50.101
  • But, instead, he went around, the bible says, healing,
  • 00:05:50.101 --> 00:05:53.271
  • "healing every sickness
  • 00:05:53.271 --> 00:05:54.873
  • And every disease among the people."
  • 00:05:54.873 --> 00:05:57.375
  • The lord himself gave us an example.
  • 00:05:57.375 --> 00:05:59.678
  • Everywhere he went--the bible says how god anointed
  • 00:05:59.678 --> 00:06:02.147
  • Jesus of nazareth with the holy ghost
  • 00:06:02.147 --> 00:06:04.316
  • And with power, who went about doing good
  • 00:06:04.316 --> 00:06:07.018
  • And healing all that were oppressed of the devil.
  • 00:06:07.018 --> 00:06:10.021
  • He went about doing good, and what is god's idea
  • 00:06:10.021 --> 00:06:12.757
  • Of doing good?
  • 00:06:12.757 --> 00:06:14.092
  • Healing, healing all that were oppressed of the devil.
  • 00:06:14.092 --> 00:06:17.162
  • Notice that sickness is an oppression from the devil,
  • 00:06:17.162 --> 00:06:20.799
  • Not from god, not something to teach us a lesson, amen?
  • 00:06:20.799 --> 00:06:25.403
  • Healing all that were oppressed of the devil, amen.
  • 00:06:25.403 --> 00:06:28.273
  • God is the healer, amen?
  • 00:06:28.273 --> 00:06:30.275
  • God loves you, and god wants to heal you, amen.
  • 00:06:30.275 --> 00:06:33.712
  • Praise the name of jesus.
  • 00:06:33.712 --> 00:06:35.046
  • So, healing is a priority with god.
  • 00:06:35.046 --> 00:06:37.516
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:06:37.516 --> 00:06:38.850
  • By the way, even the man that jesus pronounced,
  • 00:06:38.850 --> 00:06:41.553
  • "your sins be forgiven you," he went on to--
  • 00:06:41.553 --> 00:06:43.922
  • He proceeded to heal the man.
  • 00:06:43.922 --> 00:06:46.358
  • "rise, take up your bed and walk."
  • 00:06:46.358 --> 00:06:48.226
  • The man was healed.
  • 00:06:48.226 --> 00:06:49.694
  • So, the parable that jesus plays on healing is demonstrated
  • 00:06:49.694 --> 00:06:53.632
  • In his life everywhere he went.
  • 00:06:53.632 --> 00:06:55.767
  • Now, don't spiritualize that and say,
  • 00:06:55.767 --> 00:06:57.135
  • "oh, it means spiritual healing and all that."
  • 00:06:57.135 --> 00:06:59.638
  • Friend, when we are born again, we are not spiritually healed.
  • 00:06:59.638 --> 00:07:04.376
  • Literally, we are recreated. we are regenerated.
  • 00:07:04.376 --> 00:07:08.213
  • That's what "born again" means, amen?
  • 00:07:08.213 --> 00:07:10.916
  • Now we need healing for our minds,
  • 00:07:10.916 --> 00:07:13.251
  • We need healing for our emotions,
  • 00:07:13.251 --> 00:07:15.654
  • We need healing for our bodies.
  • 00:07:15.654 --> 00:07:17.355
  • That part needs healing--amen?--
  • 00:07:17.355 --> 00:07:20.091
  • The part of our emotions, our minds--from depression.
  • 00:07:20.091 --> 00:07:23.562
  • Today it's rampant, mental depression and all that.
  • 00:07:23.562 --> 00:07:26.331
  • God wants to heal you of that, amen, amen?
  • 00:07:26.331 --> 00:07:29.534
  • And god wants to heal your body.
  • 00:07:29.534 --> 00:07:31.269
  • Praise the name of jesus, hallelujah.
  • 00:07:31.269 --> 00:07:34.172
  • So, the more i think about it, the more i look at the bible,
  • 00:07:34.172 --> 00:07:36.041
  • I can't go away from the fact that this is a priority
  • 00:07:36.041 --> 00:07:38.243
  • Of god's heart, and yet we have neglected this.
  • 00:07:38.243 --> 00:07:41.212
  • We have neglected to preach this.
  • 00:07:41.212 --> 00:07:42.547
  • And i thank god that by the time jesus comes again,
  • 00:07:42.547 --> 00:07:45.317
  • The last enemy is physical death, amen.
  • 00:07:45.317 --> 00:07:50.355
  • They will be put under his feet.
  • 00:07:50.355 --> 00:07:52.023
  • So, for jesus to say that the last enemy would be
  • 00:07:52.023 --> 00:07:54.292
  • Physical death,
  • 00:07:54.292 --> 00:07:55.627
  • That means every other enemy would have been put
  • 00:07:55.627 --> 00:07:59.197
  • Under his feet already, hallelujah!
  • 00:07:59.197 --> 00:08:02.901
  • I'm speaking to all the care leaders as well in our church.
  • 00:08:02.901 --> 00:08:06.838
  • If you're listening, listen carefully, friend.
  • 00:08:06.838 --> 00:08:09.174
  • It's incumbent on us to not just preach and teach
  • 00:08:09.174 --> 00:08:13.211
  • But to minister healing.
  • 00:08:13.211 --> 00:08:14.546
  • The lord himself gave us an example.
  • 00:08:14.546 --> 00:08:17.649
  • Look up here: "then jesus went about all the cities
  • 00:08:17.649 --> 00:08:21.786
  • And villages, teaching in their synagogues"--
  • 00:08:21.786 --> 00:08:25.156
  • Notice teaching comes first?--
  • 00:08:25.156 --> 00:08:26.891
  • "preaching the gospel of the kingdom,
  • 00:08:26.891 --> 00:08:29.194
  • And healing every sickness and every disease
  • 00:08:29.194 --> 00:08:36.167
  • Among the people," always healing.
  • 00:08:36.167 --> 00:08:38.403
  • That's the pattern of the lord.
  • 00:08:38.403 --> 00:08:39.804
  • Now let's look at john, chapter 5:
  • 00:08:39.804 --> 00:08:42.807
  • "after this there was a feast of the jews, and jesus went up
  • 00:08:42.807 --> 00:08:46.011
  • To jerusalem.
  • 00:08:46.011 --> 00:08:47.345
  • Now there is in jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool--"
  • 00:08:47.345 --> 00:08:51.316
  • Now, keep this in mind:
  • 00:08:51.316 --> 00:08:52.717
  • In jerusalem there's a place called the sheep gate.
  • 00:08:52.717 --> 00:08:55.120
  • There are a number of gates around jerusalem,
  • 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.822
  • And one of the gates is called the sheep gate.
  • 00:08:57.822 --> 00:09:00.759
  • And "by the sheep gate, there was a pool,
  • 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:02.794
  • Which is called in hebrew, bethesda, having five porches."
  • 00:09:02.794 --> 00:09:07.565
  • Now back to this again: so, the one who has the effort,
  • 00:09:07.565 --> 00:09:12.337
  • Who can step in after the angel stirs the water--right?--
  • 00:09:12.337 --> 00:09:15.674
  • It implies some effort-- he's the one that gets healed.
  • 00:09:15.674 --> 00:09:18.643
  • So, how about the guy who is lame, paralyzed?
  • 00:09:18.643 --> 00:09:22.147
  • He can't even, like-- while he's crawling,
  • 00:09:22.147 --> 00:09:25.717
  • Scooting his way through the water,
  • 00:09:25.717 --> 00:09:27.652
  • Someone else step in, which is the case here.
  • 00:09:27.652 --> 00:09:30.555
  • The bible says, "now certain man was there who had an infirmity
  • 00:09:30.555 --> 00:09:33.625
  • Thirty-eight years.
  • 00:09:33.625 --> 00:09:35.527
  • When jesus saw him lying there,
  • 00:09:35.527 --> 00:09:37.362
  • And knew that he already had been in that condition
  • 00:09:37.362 --> 00:09:39.597
  • A long time, jesus said to him, 'do you want to be made well?'
  • 00:09:39.597 --> 00:09:45.203
  • The sick man answered him, 'sir, i have no man to put me
  • 00:09:45.203 --> 00:09:48.306
  • Into the pool when the water is stirred up;
  • 00:09:48.306 --> 00:09:51.109
  • But while i am coming, another steps down before me.'"
  • 00:09:51.109 --> 00:09:54.279
  • There you go, amen? he is lame.
  • 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.316
  • He cannot. he cannot even walk, right?
  • 00:09:58.316 --> 00:10:03.288
  • "jesus said to him, 'rise, take up your bed and walk.'
  • 00:10:03.288 --> 00:10:08.727
  • And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed,
  • 00:10:08.727 --> 00:10:12.497
  • And walked.
  • 00:10:12.497 --> 00:10:13.832
  • And that day was the sabbath.
  • 00:10:13.832 --> 00:10:15.934
  • The jews therefore said to him who was cured,
  • 00:10:15.934 --> 00:10:18.269
  • 'it is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you
  • 00:10:18.269 --> 00:10:20.739
  • To carry your bed.'"
  • 00:10:20.739 --> 00:10:22.073
  • Now let's go back to the beginning.
  • 00:10:22.073 --> 00:10:23.408
  • The man, the bible says, had infirmity for 38 years.
  • 00:10:23.408 --> 00:10:26.511
  • Now, he's a picture of israel because the bible says
  • 00:10:26.511 --> 00:10:30.348
  • In deuteronomy 2-- moses is saying here,
  • 00:10:30.348 --> 00:10:33.218
  • "and the time we took to come from kadesh barnea--"
  • 00:10:33.218 --> 00:10:36.721
  • Kadesh barnea is when, you know, the spies returned,
  • 00:10:36.721 --> 00:10:40.291
  • And then they believed, the majority.
  • 00:10:40.291 --> 00:10:43.495
  • And because of that, they had to wander
  • 00:10:43.495 --> 00:10:45.130
  • Around in the wilderness.
  • 00:10:45.130 --> 00:10:46.464
  • Remember that?
  • 00:10:46.464 --> 00:10:47.799
  • Their sin of unbelief was committed
  • 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:49.134
  • At kadesh barnea, right?
  • 00:10:49.134 --> 00:10:50.602
  • "the time we took to come from kadesh barnea
  • 00:10:50.602 --> 00:10:53.638
  • Until we crossed over the valley of the zered
  • 00:10:53.638 --> 00:10:55.974
  • Was thirty-eight years,
  • 00:10:55.974 --> 00:10:57.809
  • Until all the generation of the men of war
  • 00:10:57.809 --> 00:11:00.011
  • Was consumed from the midst of the camp,
  • 00:11:00.011 --> 00:11:02.313
  • Just as the lord had sworn to them."
  • 00:11:02.313 --> 00:11:04.349
  • So, you have this picture of israel.
  • 00:11:04.349 --> 00:11:09.053
  • They wandered for 38 years in the wilderness
  • 00:11:09.053 --> 00:11:12.857
  • From the time of kadesh barnea, the sin of unbelief.
  • 00:11:12.857 --> 00:11:16.461
  • They didn't believe the--joshua and caleb.
  • 00:11:16.461 --> 00:11:19.964
  • But, instead, they believed the ten, again, the ten, okay?
  • 00:11:19.964 --> 00:11:23.134
  • And as a result, they had to wander for 38 years
  • 00:11:23.134 --> 00:11:27.772
  • Until the men of war all died.
  • 00:11:27.772 --> 00:11:29.140
  • Now, there's a picture here.
  • 00:11:29.140 --> 00:11:30.475
  • Sometimes the lord allows us to wander until we realize
  • 00:11:30.475 --> 00:11:34.479
  • We have no more strength left, until all the men of war--
  • 00:11:34.479 --> 00:11:38.149
  • Here today is a picture of, you know, our effort,
  • 00:11:38.149 --> 00:11:41.619
  • Our working mentality to get the things of god.
  • 00:11:41.619 --> 00:11:45.757
  • Now, you know you wanna work hard in your job--
  • 00:11:45.757 --> 00:11:48.026
  • And you should be working hard, diligent, amen?
  • 00:11:48.026 --> 00:11:50.261
  • Working hard is one thing,
  • 00:11:50.261 --> 00:11:51.596
  • But working with wisdom is what the bible
  • 00:11:51.596 --> 00:11:53.198
  • Talks about diligence, amen?
  • 00:11:53.198 --> 00:11:54.532
  • Now, when it com--that's okay,
  • 00:11:54.532 --> 00:11:56.301
  • But when it comes to the things of god, you have to apply--
  • 00:11:56.301 --> 00:12:00.171
  • Amen?--the principles of god.
  • 00:12:00.171 --> 00:12:01.773
  • And the way we receive from god today is to rest, amen,
  • 00:12:01.773 --> 00:12:06.377
  • To believe, rest and believe.
  • 00:12:06.377 --> 00:12:09.280
  • Now, notice that jesus did this miracle in john 5.
  • 00:12:09.280 --> 00:12:13.885
  • The bible says-- let's drop down to verse 10:
  • 00:12:13.885 --> 00:12:17.789
  • "the jews therefore said to him who was cured,
  • 00:12:17.789 --> 00:12:19.657
  • 'it is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you
  • 00:12:19.657 --> 00:12:21.759
  • To carry your bed.'"
  • 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.928
  • Now, let's see what he said.
  • 00:12:23.928 --> 00:12:25.430
  • "he answered them, 'he who made me well said to me,
  • 00:12:25.430 --> 00:12:27.999
  • "take up your bed and walk."'"
  • 00:12:27.999 --> 00:12:29.467
  • You know, if you are lying down flat for 38 years,
  • 00:12:29.467 --> 00:12:33.071
  • You can't walk.
  • 00:12:33.071 --> 00:12:34.405
  • What is rest to you? what is rest to you?
  • 00:12:34.405 --> 00:12:37.842
  • Is rest lying down some more? no, of course not.
  • 00:12:37.842 --> 00:12:41.880
  • For the person who has been lying down
  • 00:12:41.880 --> 00:12:44.082
  • For 38 years, rest is getting up.
  • 00:12:44.082 --> 00:12:46.384
  • So, jesus says, "rise, take up your bed, and walk."
  • 00:12:46.384 --> 00:12:49.387
  • Take up your bed. take your rest, amen?
  • 00:12:49.387 --> 00:12:52.523
  • Now, you can't take it unless you are standing.
  • 00:12:52.523 --> 00:12:54.893
  • So, it's a picture of righteousness, amen.
  • 00:12:54.893 --> 00:12:56.828
  • Now you are the righteousness of god in christ.
  • 00:12:56.828 --> 00:12:59.097
  • Take your rest with you, amen? take your rest.
  • 00:12:59.097 --> 00:13:02.467
  • Walk in rest. don't leave your rest behind.
  • 00:13:02.467 --> 00:13:04.736
  • The principle of rest is still there.
  • 00:13:04.736 --> 00:13:06.671
  • Now that you are the righteousness of god
  • 00:13:06.671 --> 00:13:08.139
  • In christ, rise, take up your bed, and walk.
  • 00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:10.675
  • Only then, when we proceed from rest--amen?--
  • 00:13:10.675 --> 00:13:13.177
  • And realizing our position
  • 00:13:13.177 --> 00:13:14.913
  • That we are righteous before god--amen?--
  • 00:13:14.913 --> 00:13:17.115
  • Confess daily,
  • 00:13:17.115 --> 00:13:18.449
  • "i am the righteousness of god in christ,"
  • 00:13:18.449 --> 00:13:20.485
  • Then you can walk.
  • 00:13:20.485 --> 00:13:22.020
  • Then you have the power to walk in the spirit, walk in holiness,
  • 00:13:22.020 --> 00:13:25.723
  • Walk worthy of the glory of god, hallelujah, amen,
  • 00:13:25.723 --> 00:13:28.993
  • Walk a victorious life, amen.
  • 00:13:28.993 --> 00:13:31.829
  • And notice what they said.
  • 00:13:31.829 --> 00:13:33.164
  • The jews saw him carrying his mat, and they said,
  • 00:13:33.164 --> 00:13:37.702
  • "and today is the sabbath.
  • 00:13:37.702 --> 00:13:39.570
  • How come you're carrying the mat?"
  • 00:13:39.570 --> 00:13:40.972
  • "he answered them, 'he who made me well said to me,
  • 00:13:40.972 --> 00:13:44.642
  • "take up your bed and walk."'
  • 00:13:44.642 --> 00:13:47.512
  • Then they asked him, 'who is the man who said to you,
  • 00:13:47.512 --> 00:13:51.416
  • "take up your bed and walk"?'"
  • 00:13:51.416 --> 00:13:54.118
  • Now, let me call your attention to these two again,
  • 00:13:54.118 --> 00:13:56.955
  • These two verses.
  • 00:13:56.955 --> 00:13:58.656
  • "he answered them, 'he who made me well said to me,
  • 00:13:58.656 --> 00:14:02.961
  • "take up your bed and walk."'"
  • 00:14:02.961 --> 00:14:04.295
  • Notice the emphasis of the man who was healed was
  • 00:14:04.295 --> 00:14:06.898
  • "he who made me well.
  • 00:14:06.898 --> 00:14:10.501
  • They asked him, 'who is the man who said to you,
  • 00:14:10.501 --> 00:14:13.871
  • "take up your bed and walk"?'"
  • 00:14:13.871 --> 00:14:15.807
  • Their focus was on work.
  • 00:14:15.807 --> 00:14:19.010
  • Their focus was not on the fact that he was healed.
  • 00:14:19.010 --> 00:14:21.879
  • Now, which is supernatural?
  • 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:25.616
  • Which is really something that will bring joy to your heart:
  • 00:14:25.616 --> 00:14:28.653
  • To know that your body is healed
  • 00:14:28.653 --> 00:14:30.822
  • Or take up your bed and walk, amen?
  • 00:14:30.822 --> 00:14:34.325
  • Which is the work that they are emphasizing.
  • 00:14:34.325 --> 00:14:36.461
  • So, it's a method of perspective.
  • 00:14:36.461 --> 00:14:37.962
  • For them, they look at the man
  • 00:14:37.962 --> 00:14:40.264
  • And they ask the question "it is a sabbath day.
  • 00:14:40.264 --> 00:14:42.934
  • Why are you carrying your bed?"
  • 00:14:42.934 --> 00:14:46.337
  • His answer was "he who made me well said to me,
  • 00:14:46.337 --> 00:14:49.407
  • 'take up your bed and walk.'"
  • 00:14:49.407 --> 00:14:51.275
  • And they said--instead of saying that "he made him well,"
  • 00:14:51.275 --> 00:14:55.246
  • "tell me who made you well," right?
  • 00:14:55.246 --> 00:14:56.848
  • "come on, tell me who made you well.
  • 00:14:56.848 --> 00:14:58.216
  • I wanna bring him to see my aunt,
  • 00:14:58.216 --> 00:15:00.351
  • Who is flat on her back with this paralysis.
  • 00:15:00.351 --> 00:15:03.921
  • And come tell me who is the one that makes you well.
  • 00:15:03.921 --> 00:15:07.291
  • Tell me who is the man. i wanna bring him to see my son.
  • 00:15:07.291 --> 00:15:10.094
  • I wanna bring him to see my daughter.
  • 00:15:10.094 --> 00:15:11.596
  • Come on, tell me, tell me who is the man,"
  • 00:15:11.596 --> 00:15:14.198
  • Instead of focusing on that.
  • 00:15:14.198 --> 00:15:17.135
  • And there are people like that today, you know?
  • 00:15:17.135 --> 00:15:18.469
  • They won't focus on the ten people that are healed.
  • 00:15:18.469 --> 00:15:21.973
  • They will focus on someone who is not healed
  • 00:15:21.973 --> 00:15:24.042
  • And start to berate the entire ministry.
  • 00:15:24.042 --> 00:15:27.311
  • No, it's a matter of focus, amen.
  • 00:15:27.311 --> 00:15:29.580
  • They look at that and they are focused on work.
  • 00:15:29.580 --> 00:15:33.151
  • "no, no, you broke the sabbath. you are carrying the bed.
  • 00:15:33.151 --> 00:15:36.220
  • Who is the one that told you to carry your bed?"
  • 00:15:36.220 --> 00:15:38.089
  • Instead of "who is the one that made you well?"
  • 00:15:38.089 --> 00:15:40.425
  • And they could have been well as well before the day ends, hm?
  • 00:15:40.425 --> 00:15:44.595
  • It reminds me of the time when jesus was in the synagogue
  • 00:15:44.595 --> 00:15:48.066
  • One time, and there was a woman who was bowed down
  • 00:15:48.066 --> 00:15:50.468
  • For 18 years, all right?
  • 00:15:50.468 --> 00:15:52.036
  • That's the number of the antichrist:
  • 00:15:52.036 --> 00:15:53.671
  • 6 plus 6 plus 6, 18.
  • 00:15:53.671 --> 00:15:56.074
  • Eighteen is the number of bondage in the bible.
  • 00:15:56.074 --> 00:15:59.343
  • You read in the judges about 18 years of bondage--you know?--
  • 00:15:59.343 --> 00:16:02.814
  • More than one time.
  • 00:16:02.814 --> 00:16:04.148
  • And here she's bowed down for 18 years.
  • 00:16:04.148 --> 00:16:07.218
  • Imagine identifying people
  • 00:16:07.218 --> 00:16:08.953
  • By their toes everywhere she went,
  • 00:16:08.953 --> 00:16:10.788
  • And then jesus saw her.
  • 00:16:10.788 --> 00:16:12.123
  • Now, it's amazing because, in that day and age,
  • 00:16:12.123 --> 00:16:14.325
  • The women are up there and they are not seen.
  • 00:16:14.325 --> 00:16:17.829
  • They are not in the synagogue below,
  • 00:16:17.829 --> 00:16:21.132
  • But they are up there where there is a lattice
  • 00:16:21.132 --> 00:16:23.901
  • Through which they peer through the service.
  • 00:16:23.901 --> 00:16:26.771
  • Jesus called her, the bible says.
  • 00:16:26.771 --> 00:16:28.172
  • And even more so when she is bowed down,
  • 00:16:28.172 --> 00:16:30.208
  • How could they have seen her?
  • 00:16:30.208 --> 00:16:31.542
  • Yet he sees.
  • 00:16:31.542 --> 00:16:32.877
  • You know, he sees you with all your needs.
  • 00:16:32.877 --> 00:16:34.245
  • You think that no one sees your tears that you cry
  • 00:16:34.245 --> 00:16:37.582
  • At night or privately.
  • 00:16:37.582 --> 00:16:39.750
  • The lord sees it.
  • 00:16:39.750 --> 00:16:42.653
  • And he says to you, "for those tears, i died," amen?
  • 00:16:42.653 --> 00:16:45.790
  • "i see every tear."
  • 00:16:45.790 --> 00:16:47.258
  • And the bible even says he puts your tears--
  • 00:16:47.258 --> 00:16:48.993
  • They are not wasted-- he puts your tears
  • 00:16:48.993 --> 00:16:50.528
  • In a bottle, amen.
  • 00:16:50.528 --> 00:16:53.030
  • For every tear, there will be a recompense.
  • 00:16:53.030 --> 00:16:56.400
  • There will be a restoration, hallelujah, amen?
  • 00:16:56.400 --> 00:17:00.705
  • And you rejoice when the day of restoration
  • 00:17:00.705 --> 00:17:02.306
  • Comes, hallelujah.
  • 00:17:02.306 --> 00:17:03.641
  • So, he called her and the bible says, "jesus said to her,
  • 00:17:03.641 --> 00:17:05.676
  • 'woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.'"
  • 00:17:05.676 --> 00:17:09.714
  • And the very first face she saw was our lord jesus,
  • 00:17:09.714 --> 00:17:13.918
  • His beautiful eyes of love looking at her, amen?
  • 00:17:13.918 --> 00:17:16.787
  • She was completely healed.
  • 00:17:16.787 --> 00:17:18.122
  • The 18 years of bondage, completely healed--
  • 00:17:18.122 --> 00:17:20.725
  • Just like the man, healed, 38 years of disease.
  • 00:17:20.725 --> 00:17:27.331
  • And look at this.
  • 00:17:27.331 --> 00:17:28.666
  • Follow the story now: "and he laid his hands on her.
  • 00:17:28.666 --> 00:17:31.369
  • She was made straight and glorified god.
  • 00:17:31.369 --> 00:17:33.704
  • But the ruler of the synagogue--"
  • 00:17:33.704 --> 00:17:35.473
  • Now, one of his church members just got healed.
  • 00:17:35.473 --> 00:17:38.109
  • He should be really happy, isn't it?
  • 00:17:38.109 --> 00:17:40.678
  • But look at this guy: "the ruler of the synagogue answered
  • 00:17:40.678 --> 00:17:43.447
  • With indignation, because jesus had healed on the sabbath;
  • 00:17:43.447 --> 00:17:47.685
  • And he said to the crowd,
  • 00:17:47.685 --> 00:17:49.020
  • 'there are six days on which men ought to work;
  • 00:17:49.020 --> 00:17:52.123
  • Therefore come and be healed on them,
  • 00:17:52.123 --> 00:17:54.325
  • And not on the sabbath day.'"
  • 00:17:54.325 --> 00:17:55.960
  • Notice his emphasis: "six days on which men ought to work;
  • 00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.765
  • Therefore come and be healed on them.
  • 00:18:00.765 --> 00:18:03.568
  • For him, come and be healed when men are working."
  • 00:18:03.568 --> 00:18:08.339
  • In other words, he sees healing as man's work.
  • 00:18:08.339 --> 00:18:13.911
  • A number of years ago, the lord said this to me.
  • 00:18:13.911 --> 00:18:16.113
  • When i read this passage, he says, "the biggest mistake"--
  • 00:18:16.113 --> 00:18:19.317
  • He used the word the "biggest mistake"--
  • 00:18:19.317 --> 00:18:20.718
  • "those people made in the synagogue,"
  • 00:18:20.718 --> 00:18:23.621
  • Amen, "and the biggest mistake that my people are making today
  • 00:18:23.621 --> 00:18:27.758
  • Is to see healing as man's work,
  • 00:18:27.758 --> 00:18:31.529
  • Just like this ruler of the synagogue."
  • 00:18:31.529 --> 00:18:33.497
  • "come on a day when man is working and be healed
  • 00:18:33.497 --> 00:18:36.334
  • And not on the sabbath."
  • 00:18:36.334 --> 00:18:38.736
  • And jesus answered, "the lord answered him
  • 00:18:38.736 --> 00:18:40.371
  • And said, 'hypocrite!
  • 00:18:40.371 --> 00:18:41.706
  • Does not each one of you on the sabbath lose his ox
  • 00:18:41.706 --> 00:18:44.275
  • Or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?'"
  • 00:18:44.275 --> 00:18:47.778
  • So, to heal the sick is to water it,
  • 00:18:47.778 --> 00:18:51.749
  • To water them, to give them water, amen.
  • 00:18:51.749 --> 00:18:54.685
  • That's how the lord sees it.
  • 00:18:54.685 --> 00:18:56.020
  • "so ought not this woman,
  • 00:18:56.020 --> 00:18:57.355
  • Being a daughter of abraham, whom satan has bound--
  • 00:18:57.355 --> 00:19:00.224
  • Think of it-- for eighteen years,
  • 00:19:00.224 --> 00:19:01.892
  • Be loosed from this bond on the sabbath?"
  • 00:19:01.892 --> 00:19:05.096
  • Notice both of them said "ought."
  • 00:19:05.096 --> 00:19:07.632
  • But notice the ruler of the synagogue, his "ought."
  • 00:19:07.632 --> 00:19:09.734
  • Let's compare it. his "ought" is like this.
  • 00:19:09.734 --> 00:19:12.236
  • "there are six days on which man ought to work."
  • 00:19:12.236 --> 00:19:15.840
  • Jesus said, "so ought not this woman...
  • 00:19:15.840 --> 00:19:19.143
  • Be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?"
  • 00:19:19.143 --> 00:19:23.047
  • It's a matter of perspective, amen.
  • 00:19:23.047 --> 00:19:25.516
  • The lord saw healing as a greater priority
  • 00:19:25.516 --> 00:19:29.053
  • Than keeping all your rules, amen.
  • 00:19:29.053 --> 00:19:31.389
  • He saw healing as a greater priority
  • 00:19:31.389 --> 00:19:35.126
  • Than trying to be, you know, having a good impression
  • 00:19:35.126 --> 00:19:38.896
  • On people, amen.
  • 00:19:38.896 --> 00:19:40.231
  • He sees the need more than the pride, amen?
  • 00:19:40.231 --> 00:19:45.503
  • Whereas for them, it is always the show, amen, show.
  • 00:19:45.503 --> 00:19:48.906
  • Even if the ruler of the synagogue,
  • 00:19:48.906 --> 00:19:50.241
  • One of his members just got healed,
  • 00:19:50.241 --> 00:19:51.575
  • He should rejoice,
  • 00:19:51.575 --> 00:19:52.910
  • Invite jesus back for more meetings, right?
  • 00:19:52.910 --> 00:19:57.515
  • Mm.
  • 00:19:57.515 --> 00:19:58.849
  • Back to john 5. i'm excited.
  • 00:19:58.849 --> 00:20:01.385
  • Look at the truth of john 5: "and so the one who was healed
  • 00:20:01.385 --> 00:20:05.690
  • Did not know who it was.
  • 00:20:05.690 --> 00:20:07.024
  • Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.
  • 00:20:07.024 --> 00:20:10.061
  • Afterward jesus found him in the temple, and said to him,
  • 00:20:10.061 --> 00:20:12.229
  • 'see, you have been made well.
  • 00:20:12.229 --> 00:20:14.165
  • Sin no more, lest the worst thing
  • 00:20:14.165 --> 00:20:15.599
  • Come upon you.'"
  • 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:16.934
  • Now, not every disease or sickness is caused by sin.
  • 00:20:16.934 --> 00:20:21.972
  • There are some.
  • 00:20:21.972 --> 00:20:23.307
  • For example, if someone is, you know, smoking all the time
  • 00:20:23.307 --> 00:20:26.043
  • And then he has lung cancer and then, you know,
  • 00:20:26.043 --> 00:20:30.581
  • He got healed, the lord healed him of lung cancer,
  • 00:20:30.581 --> 00:20:33.617
  • It would be good to tell him, "smoke no more," amen?
  • 00:20:33.617 --> 00:20:36.620
  • "sin no more.
  • 00:20:36.620 --> 00:20:37.955
  • Don't go back to this particular sin," amen?
  • 00:20:37.955 --> 00:20:40.358
  • "lest a worse thing come upon you."
  • 00:20:40.358 --> 00:20:43.728
  • And, yes, smoking is sin because you are defiling
  • 00:20:43.728 --> 00:20:46.931
  • The temple of god, amen,
  • 00:20:46.931 --> 00:20:49.600
  • And god wants you healthy and strong.
  • 00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:50.935
  • God wants you to live very, very long, amen?
  • 00:20:50.935 --> 00:20:53.804
  • "but, pastor, do you believe i can smoke and still go
  • 00:20:53.804 --> 00:20:55.272
  • To heaven?"
  • 00:20:55.272 --> 00:20:56.607
  • You can go faster, you know, right?
  • 00:20:56.607 --> 00:20:58.409
  • So, remember this, amen, the lord loves you, okay?
  • 00:20:58.409 --> 00:21:02.079
  • So, there are some sins, like, some sexual sins, right,
  • 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:07.151
  • Can cause syphilis, can cause problems
  • 00:21:07.151 --> 00:21:09.887
  • With people walking as well,
  • 00:21:09.887 --> 00:21:11.822
  • And probably this guy may have that problem.
  • 00:21:11.822 --> 00:21:13.557
  • I do not know. the sin is not revealed.
  • 00:21:13.557 --> 00:21:15.192
  • But jesus is saying,
  • 00:21:15.192 --> 00:21:16.527
  • "don't continue that sin that caused you this problem,
  • 00:21:16.527 --> 00:21:19.029
  • Lest a worst thing happen," okay?
  • 00:21:19.029 --> 00:21:21.766
  • "so, the man departed and told the jews that it was jesus
  • 00:21:21.766 --> 00:21:24.301
  • Who had made him well.
  • 00:21:24.301 --> 00:21:25.636
  • For this reason the jews persecuted jesus,
  • 00:21:25.636 --> 00:21:27.705
  • And sought to kill him,
  • 00:21:27.705 --> 00:21:29.306
  • Because he had done these things on the sabbath."
  • 00:21:29.306 --> 00:21:31.208
  • By the way, "because he had done these things on the sabbath"--
  • 00:21:31.208 --> 00:21:34.378
  • In the greek, the tense there is "done these things."
  • 00:21:34.378 --> 00:21:39.316
  • It's imperfect tense,
  • 00:21:39.316 --> 00:21:41.452
  • Which means it was customary for jesus to perform healings
  • 00:21:41.452 --> 00:21:48.492
  • On sabbath.
  • 00:21:48.492 --> 00:21:49.827
  • And we know that, in the gospel accounts,
  • 00:21:49.827 --> 00:21:51.395
  • There are many healings that happen on the sabbath, right?
  • 00:21:51.395 --> 00:21:56.400
  • And i believe it's the principle of "when you rest, god works."
  • 00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.637
  • Let's keep on reading: "but jesus answered them,
  • 00:21:59.637 --> 00:22:02.673
  • 'my father has been working until now,
  • 00:22:02.673 --> 00:22:05.342
  • And i have been working.'"
  • 00:22:05.342 --> 00:22:07.978
  • Did you hear that?
  • 00:22:07.978 --> 00:22:09.313
  • "my father has been working until now."
  • 00:22:09.313 --> 00:22:12.650
  • So, when god works, people get healed, hallelujah.
  • 00:22:12.650 --> 00:22:17.822
  • Healing is god working.
  • 00:22:17.822 --> 00:22:20.624
  • I repeat: healing is the father working, amen.
  • 00:22:20.624 --> 00:22:25.196
  • And jesus says, "and i work also.
  • 00:22:25.196 --> 00:22:27.698
  • When i see my father healing, i flow with him.
  • 00:22:27.698 --> 00:22:31.035
  • I work also."
  • 00:22:31.035 --> 00:22:32.436
  • And remember this: when god works, man should cease.
  • 00:22:32.436 --> 00:22:37.441
  • Man should rest.
  • 00:22:37.441 --> 00:22:40.010
  • And that's why the bible says, "our rest today," in hebrews 4,
  • 00:22:40.010 --> 00:22:43.914
  • "let us labour therefore to enter that rest,
  • 00:22:43.914 --> 00:22:47.117
  • Lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."
  • 00:22:47.117 --> 00:22:52.089
  • Therefore, it tells us the opposite of unbelief
  • 00:22:52.089 --> 00:22:54.158
  • Is not to rest.
  • 00:22:54.158 --> 00:22:55.626
  • And our only labor, child of god,
  • 00:22:55.626 --> 00:22:57.561
  • Your only labor today is to labor to enter the rest.
  • 00:22:57.561 --> 00:23:01.098
  • The devil comes to you and say, "what about your children?
  • 00:23:01.098 --> 00:23:03.501
  • What about that problem, that challenge, and all that--
  • 00:23:03.501 --> 00:23:05.870
  • In school?"
  • 00:23:05.870 --> 00:23:07.271
  • You know, you just say, "well, lord, i'm entering
  • 00:23:07.271 --> 00:23:10.140
  • Into your rest even for this.
  • 00:23:10.140 --> 00:23:12.076
  • I rest and i see you work."
  • 00:23:12.076 --> 00:23:13.544
  • It doesn't mean you rest, nothing will happen.
  • 00:23:13.544 --> 00:23:15.646
  • For the world, it is true, okay?
  • 00:23:15.646 --> 00:23:17.681
  • But for you, child of god, you have a shepherd, amen?
  • 00:23:17.681 --> 00:23:20.351
  • You have a father who watches over you.
  • 00:23:20.351 --> 00:23:22.353
  • When you rest, god works.
  • 00:23:22.353 --> 00:23:25.222
  • But if you wanna work, amen, god rests.
  • 00:23:25.222 --> 00:23:28.726
  • You choose, amen. when you rest, god works.
  • 00:23:28.726 --> 00:23:31.328
  • The lord is saying, "my father is working," amen?
  • 00:23:31.328 --> 00:23:35.065
  • "that man--there's a reason i'm healing on the sabbath.
  • 00:23:35.065 --> 00:23:37.868
  • It's because sabbath is man's rest day," amen.
  • 00:23:37.868 --> 00:23:40.905
  • Man rests on that day. you don't work.
  • 00:23:40.905 --> 00:23:43.874
  • And that's why jesus performs so many healings
  • 00:23:43.874 --> 00:23:45.843
  • On the sabbath, amen.
  • 00:23:45.843 --> 00:23:48.012
  • When man is rested, god is able to touch and heal.
  • 00:23:48.012 --> 00:23:51.315
  • Now, one thing about healing-- i've noticed that when people
  • 00:23:51.315 --> 00:23:53.651
  • Learn about healing and all that,
  • 00:23:53.651 --> 00:23:55.085
  • One of the things they do-- they want so much to be healed
  • 00:23:55.085 --> 00:23:57.655
  • That sometimes they get into works.
  • 00:23:57.655 --> 00:24:00.591
  • They try to-- "have i confessed all my sins?
  • 00:24:00.591 --> 00:24:04.028
  • Have i confessed the word of god enough?
  • 00:24:04.028 --> 00:24:05.763
  • Have i done this?"
  • 00:24:05.763 --> 00:24:07.097
