Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Holy Communion: God's Provision For Healing and Life | February 3, 2026
  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.886
  • Joseph prince: the reason we don't understand
  • 00:00:13.122 --> 00:00:14.590
  • That god has given us a provision, all right,
  • 00:00:14.690 --> 00:00:18.427
  • That we don't have to suffer like the world.
  • 00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:20.762
  • The world has what?
  • 00:00:20.896 --> 00:00:21.230
  • Sickness, dying prematurely.
  • 00:00:22.097 --> 00:00:23.899
  • "but i've given you a provision," god is saying,
  • 00:00:23.899 --> 00:00:27.069
  • "the body and the blood of my son.
  • 00:00:27.069 --> 00:00:29.404
  • If you'll partake, you will escape the condemnation,
  • 00:00:29.404 --> 00:00:32.508
  • The sentence of this world."
  • 00:00:32.508 --> 00:00:33.842
  • See, the world-- there's a sentence
  • 00:00:33.842 --> 00:00:35.177
  • In this world.
  • 00:00:35.177 --> 00:00:36.512
  • Ever since adam sinned, the sentence was what?
  • 00:00:36.512 --> 00:00:39.114
  • Death. but before death is what?
  • 00:00:39.114 --> 00:00:41.984
  • Weakness, sickness, death.
  • 00:00:41.984 --> 00:00:46.021
  • So that's the sentence of the world.
  • 00:00:46.021 --> 00:00:48.056
  • Now, we are not to suffer that sentence.
  • 00:00:48.056 --> 00:00:50.993
  • Male announcer: the world says you need a ten-step plan,
  • 00:00:51.059 --> 00:00:53.896
  • But jesus says, "just sit at my feet
  • 00:00:53.896 --> 00:00:56.365
  • And receive my word."
  • 00:00:56.365 --> 00:00:58.100
  • In today's message,
  • 00:00:58.100 --> 00:00:59.768
  • Joseph prince opens up the scriptures
  • 00:00:59.768 --> 00:01:01.103
  • To reveal god's plan for you to live in rest and victory.
  • 00:01:01.103 --> 00:01:04.806
  • Ten must-do exercises, fifty must-eat foods,
  • 00:01:04.806 --> 00:01:08.977
  • One hundred must-read books.
  • 00:01:08.977 --> 00:01:10.779
  • With so much advice out there,
  • 00:01:10.779 --> 00:01:12.881
  • How do you know what really helps?
  • 00:01:12.881 --> 00:01:14.850
  • What if there's a better way?
  • 00:01:14.850 --> 00:01:16.685
  • Not self-help, but god's help.
  • 00:01:16.685 --> 00:01:19.454
  • Because the bible tells us that in times of need,
  • 00:01:19.454 --> 00:01:21.957
  • God is our very present help.

  • And now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:02:05.033 --> 00:02:07.469
  • With today's program.
  • 00:02:07.469 --> 00:02:08.804
  • Joseph prince: so we are continuing our series
  • 00:02:08.804 --> 00:02:10.606
  • On the grain, the wine, and the oil.
  • 00:02:10.606 --> 00:02:12.507
  • And this is what i wanna show you.
  • 00:02:12.507 --> 00:02:15.277
  • Look at matthew chapter 26 first.
  • 00:02:15.277 --> 00:02:17.679
  • In matthew 26 it says here,
  • 00:02:17.679 --> 00:02:19.181
  • "then he took the cup, and gave thanks,
  • 00:02:19.181 --> 00:02:21.617
  • And gave it to them, saying, 'drink from it,
  • 00:02:21.617 --> 00:02:23.485
  • All of you.
  • 00:02:23.485 --> 00:02:24.820
  • For this is my blood of the new covenant,
  • 00:02:24.820 --> 00:02:27.089
  • Which is shed for many for the remission of sins.'"
  • 00:02:27.089 --> 00:02:29.358
  • So drinking proceeded what he said.
  • 00:02:29.358 --> 00:02:34.863
  • Or did he let them drink first then he says,
  • 00:02:34.863 --> 00:02:37.633
  • "this is my blood"?
  • 00:02:37.633 --> 00:02:38.967
  • So over here, we're not told the sequence.
  • 00:02:38.967 --> 00:02:42.237
  • Did the people drink first, did the disciples drink first
  • 00:02:42.237 --> 00:02:44.706
  • Of the cup, and then he says,
  • 00:02:44.706 --> 00:02:47.843
  • "this cup is the new covenant"?
  • 00:02:47.843 --> 00:02:49.745
  • Or did he say, "this cup is the new covenant,"
  • 00:02:49.745 --> 00:02:53.015
  • Then they drank?
  • 00:02:53.015 --> 00:02:55.117
  • Now, this is important, okay?
  • 00:02:55.117 --> 00:02:57.719
  • We are learning how to partake and partake according to
  • 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.922
  • The phrase worthily as well.
  • 00:03:00.922 --> 00:03:03.792
  • So here he says, now, by the way,
  • 00:03:03.792 --> 00:03:06.828
  • For the remission of sins.
  • 00:03:06.828 --> 00:03:08.497
  • One way to partake worthily is you partake
  • 00:03:08.497 --> 00:03:12.401
  • Knowing your sins have been remitted
  • 00:03:12.401 --> 00:03:15.804
  • Because of the blood.
  • 00:03:15.804 --> 00:03:17.139
  • Now, that's honoring what jesus has done.
  • 00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:20.809
  • Anything less-- if you are sin conscious,
  • 00:03:20.809 --> 00:03:22.311
  • Looking for sin, for sin, for sin--
  • 00:03:22.311 --> 00:03:24.012
  • When jesus himself said that drinking this cup is
  • 00:03:24.012 --> 00:03:27.516
  • For the remission of sins,
  • 00:03:27.516 --> 00:03:29.318
  • Not at that time your sins are remitted,
  • 00:03:29.318 --> 00:03:30.886
  • But it's to illustrate that his blood is the reason
  • 00:03:30.886 --> 00:03:34.623
  • Why your sins are no more in your life.
  • 00:03:34.623 --> 00:03:37.959
  • Not that you cannot sin, not that you are--
  • 00:03:37.959 --> 00:03:40.729
  • You know, you are now completely sinless.
  • 00:03:40.729 --> 00:03:43.098
  • No, no, no.
  • 00:03:43.098 --> 00:03:44.433
  • But god is not reckoning you based on unforgiven sin.
  • 00:03:44.433 --> 00:03:47.869
  • Your sins are all remitted.
  • 00:03:47.869 --> 00:03:49.304
  • They're all forgiven.
  • 00:03:49.304 --> 00:03:50.639
  • And when you partake of the lord's supper,
  • 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.374
  • You should be conscious of that
  • 00:03:52.374 --> 00:03:54.209
  • And not conscious of your sin still being in you--
  • 00:03:54.209 --> 00:03:57.179
  • That you gotta look for it.
  • 00:03:57.179 --> 00:03:59.047
  • That is judging yourself worthily.
  • 00:03:59.047 --> 00:04:02.317
  • Okay, so here, the question again
  • 00:04:02.317 --> 00:04:04.720
  • That we are asking is, did he say--
  • 00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:07.356
  • Did he give them the bread and the cup
  • 00:04:07.356 --> 00:04:09.925
  • And they partook, then he says,
  • 00:04:09.925 --> 00:04:11.493
  • "this is my body, this is the cup
  • 00:04:11.493 --> 00:04:13.929
  • Of the new covenant"?
  • 00:04:13.929 --> 00:04:15.964
  • Now, we look at-- because why am i saying this?
  • 00:04:15.964 --> 00:04:18.700
  • It's crucial. the order is crucial.
  • 00:04:18.700 --> 00:04:20.969
  • I'll tell you why.
  • 00:04:20.969 --> 00:04:22.304
  • There is a place where it's a symbol,
  • 00:04:22.304 --> 00:04:23.905
  • And there's a place where it becomes real.
  • 00:04:23.905 --> 00:04:26.808
  • So let's go to mark. mark has the order.
  • 00:04:26.808 --> 00:04:29.644
  • Look at this.
  • 00:04:29.644 --> 00:04:30.979
  • "and as they were eating, jesus took bread,
  • 00:04:30.979 --> 00:04:32.314
  • Blessed and broke it, and gave it to them
  • 00:04:32.314 --> 00:04:33.648
  • And said, take, eat; this is my body.'
  • 00:04:33.648 --> 00:04:35.317
  • Then he took the cup,
  • 00:04:35.317 --> 00:04:36.651
  • And when he had given thanks he gave it to them,
  • 00:04:36.651 --> 00:04:38.253
  • And they all drank from it.
  • 00:04:38.253 --> 00:04:39.721
  • And he said to them--" uh-huh, do you hear that?
  • 00:04:39.721 --> 00:04:44.960
  • "he took the cup; when he had given thanks
  • 00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:46.628
  • He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
  • 00:04:46.628 --> 00:04:50.832
  • And he said to them, 'this is my blood
  • 00:04:50.832 --> 00:04:53.301
  • Of the new covenant, which is shed for many.'"
  • 00:04:53.301 --> 00:04:56.304
  • So which one happened first?
  • 00:04:56.304 --> 00:04:58.140
  • His statement about the cup or their drinking?
  • 00:04:58.140 --> 00:05:02.978
  • They drink.
  • 00:05:02.978 --> 00:05:04.312
  • So the thing is this, as long as you hold the bread
  • 00:05:04.312 --> 00:05:06.948
  • In your hand, okay, if you hold the bread
  • 00:05:06.948 --> 00:05:09.418
  • In your hand-- is there bread anywhere?
  • 00:05:09.418 --> 00:05:11.420
  • Never mind.
  • 00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:12.754
  • If you have, just for illustration purpose.
  • 00:05:12.754 --> 00:05:15.290
  • So it's still natural, okay?
  • 00:05:15.290 --> 00:05:19.694
  • You understand? so it's okay.
  • 00:05:19.694 --> 00:05:21.296
  • When we are handling it, it's okay.
  • 00:05:21.296 --> 00:05:22.631
  • It's common. it's normal, okay?
  • 00:05:22.631 --> 00:05:25.000
  • When does it become uncommon, holy?
  • 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.335
  • Now, when you come before the lord,
  • 00:05:27.335 --> 00:05:29.504
  • By the way, you don't need a priest,
  • 00:05:29.504 --> 00:05:31.940
  • You don't need a pastor, you don't need me.
  • 00:05:31.940 --> 00:05:35.744
  • They broke bread from house to house.
  • 00:05:35.744 --> 00:05:37.979
  • They broke bread from house to house.
  • 00:05:38.046 --> 00:05:39.781
  • We are all priests. amen.
  • 00:05:39.781 --> 00:05:42.717
  • We are all royal priesthood. amen?
  • 00:05:42.717 --> 00:05:46.822
  • So when you open up, right, you take the bread,
  • 00:05:46.822 --> 00:05:50.725
  • It's still bread.
  • 00:05:50.725 --> 00:05:52.227
  • When you come before the lord and you meditate
  • 00:05:52.227 --> 00:05:55.530
  • And you thank the lord and you say, "lord,
  • 00:05:55.530 --> 00:05:58.066
  • I discern your body--
  • 00:05:58.066 --> 00:05:59.534
  • That on that tree, you bore away all my sins,
  • 00:05:59.534 --> 00:06:02.437
  • All my diseases, all my infirmities,
  • 00:06:02.437 --> 00:06:05.106
  • All my pains."
  • 00:06:05.106 --> 00:06:06.641
  • You can include, "all my aging."
  • 00:06:06.641 --> 00:06:09.911
  • Because from aging comes all kinds of sickness,
  • 00:06:09.911 --> 00:06:11.446
  • You know, all right?
  • 00:06:11.446 --> 00:06:13.014
  • And in heaven everyone is young, right?
  • 00:06:13.014 --> 00:06:14.983
  • So you can put it down there.
  • 00:06:14.983 --> 00:06:16.651
  • "and, lord, i thank you. by your stripe i'm healed."
  • 00:06:16.651 --> 00:06:19.988
  • And you partake... now, watch this.
  • 00:06:19.988 --> 00:06:23.091
  • When you partake, when does it become the bread--
  • 00:06:23.091 --> 00:06:30.398
  • The body of the lord?
  • 00:06:30.398 --> 00:06:31.733
  • When it goes in.
  • 00:06:31.733 --> 00:06:33.301
  • After you partake, it's the body of the lord.
  • 00:06:33.301 --> 00:06:37.973
  • You got it?
  • 00:06:37.973 --> 00:06:40.008
  • That's what i believe.
  • 00:06:40.008 --> 00:06:41.943
  • I believe that the language of jesus in john 6 and on
  • 00:06:41.943 --> 00:06:45.614
  • Cannot just make it just purely symbolic, cannot.
  • 00:06:45.614 --> 00:06:51.486
  • Are you listening, all right?
  • 00:06:51.486 --> 00:06:53.188
  • As long as that's outside, it is still--
  • 00:06:53.188 --> 00:06:56.157
  • It was after they partook he says,
  • 00:06:56.157 --> 00:06:58.260
  • "this cup is a new covenant in my blood.
  • 00:06:58.260 --> 00:06:59.594
  • You just drank it, right?
  • 00:06:59.594 --> 00:07:02.297
  • This is my body broken for you,"
  • 00:07:02.297 --> 00:07:03.999
  • After they ate it.
  • 00:07:03.999 --> 00:07:06.801
  • You understand? are you with me so far?
  • 00:07:06.801 --> 00:07:10.038
  • So we got that settled.
  • 00:07:10.038 --> 00:07:11.373
  • By the way, this is a-- holy communion is the substance
  • 00:07:11.373 --> 00:07:15.677
  • Of the shadow of the old testament.
  • 00:07:15.677 --> 00:07:17.913
  • In the old testament we have a shadow.
  • 00:07:17.913 --> 00:07:20.015
  • On the night of the passover, god told israel
  • 00:07:20.015 --> 00:07:22.484
  • To put the blood on the doorposts
  • 00:07:22.484 --> 00:07:24.319
  • And on the lintel, right, making the cross.
  • 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.055
  • Can you see it?
  • 00:07:27.055 --> 00:07:28.590
  • And god said, "eat the roasted lamb
  • 00:07:28.590 --> 00:07:31.993
  • Roasted in fire,
  • 00:07:31.993 --> 00:07:34.129
  • And do not eat it sodden with water."
  • 00:07:34.129 --> 00:07:35.964
  • Do not wat--wash--water down the person of our lord jesus.
  • 00:07:35.964 --> 00:07:39.801
  • Don't water it down.
  • 00:07:39.801 --> 00:07:41.136
  • Don't just say that he's a good man,
  • 00:07:41.136 --> 00:07:43.204
  • But he's not roasted in fire.
  • 00:07:43.204 --> 00:07:45.373
  • Don't eat him not roasted in fire.
  • 00:07:45.373 --> 00:07:47.075
  • Roasted in fire means see him at the cross,
  • 00:07:47.075 --> 00:07:49.344
  • Suffering your judgment and my judgment
  • 00:07:49.344 --> 00:07:51.646
  • Because he was carrying our sins.
  • 00:07:51.646 --> 00:07:53.548
  • That's how you partake worthily.
  • 00:07:53.548 --> 00:07:55.550
  • So they were partaking of the roasted lamb.
  • 00:07:55.550 --> 00:07:57.452
  • They ate the head, they ate the entrails,
  • 00:07:57.452 --> 00:07:59.387
  • They ate the feet.
  • 00:07:59.387 --> 00:08:00.755
  • And whatever they are suffering from,
  • 00:08:00.755 --> 00:08:02.090
  • If they're suffering from dementia or alzheimer,
  • 00:08:02.090 --> 00:08:04.359
  • They partook of-- even of the brain,
  • 00:08:04.359 --> 00:08:06.061
  • While the judgment was going on outside,
  • 00:08:06.061 --> 00:08:08.763
  • The angel of death was passing by
  • 00:08:08.763 --> 00:08:10.799
  • And he looks at the house, okay?
  • 00:08:10.799 --> 00:08:13.134
  • Now, listen carefully.
  • 00:08:13.134 --> 00:08:14.469
  • God is not requiring great faith to eat,
  • 00:08:14.469 --> 00:08:16.204
  • Only hunger, amen?
  • 00:08:16.204 --> 00:08:19.074
  • God doesn't need great faith for you to put on the blood,
  • 00:08:19.074 --> 00:08:23.111
  • Just obedience, amen?
  • 00:08:23.111 --> 00:08:26.147
  • And it doesn't matter how afraid they are,
  • 00:08:26.147 --> 00:08:28.249
  • Trembling, all right, when they know that
  • 00:08:28.249 --> 00:08:30.986
  • At that hour, at the midnight hour
  • 00:08:30.986 --> 00:08:32.320
  • The angel of death is passing by.
  • 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:33.688
  • If they are struggling-- and some of them are
  • 00:08:33.688 --> 00:08:36.291
  • Really, really, you know, crying, bawling, and, you know,
  • 00:08:36.291 --> 00:08:39.594
  • In the house, but as long the blood is there,
  • 00:08:39.594 --> 00:08:41.696
  • They are safe.
  • 00:08:41.696 --> 00:08:43.264
  • They just wasted all their emotions.
  • 00:08:43.264 --> 00:08:45.567
  • They just wasted all their fears.
  • 00:08:45.567 --> 00:08:47.736
  • Am i right?
  • 00:08:47.736 --> 00:08:49.070
  • Because their security lies not in their faith,
  • 00:08:49.070 --> 00:08:50.972
  • It lies in the blood.
  • 00:08:50.972 --> 00:08:53.441
  • Am i right?
  • 00:08:53.441 --> 00:08:54.776
  • So another house, a egyptian house--
  • 00:08:54.776 --> 00:08:56.711
  • "ah, don't worry. nothing will happen to us.
  • 00:08:56.711 --> 00:08:58.747
  • All this, moses, ah, fake news, all right?
  • 00:08:58.747 --> 00:09:03.318
  • Don't worry about it.
  • 00:09:03.318 --> 00:09:04.686
  • Nothing is gonna happen to you."
  • 00:09:04.686 --> 00:09:06.021
  • So for him, all right, there's no blood
  • 00:09:06.021 --> 00:09:08.390
  • On the doorpost, nothing, but they are very confident.
  • 00:09:08.390 --> 00:09:11.660
  • You might even say they look like people of faith.
  • 00:09:11.660 --> 00:09:14.262
  • What's gonna happen that night?
  • 00:09:14.262 --> 00:09:16.831
  • The moment it strikes midnight, the son drops dead,
  • 00:09:16.831 --> 00:09:21.036
  • The firstborn, amen?
  • 00:09:21.036 --> 00:09:23.004
  • It's not your confidence, it's not your great faith,
  • 00:09:23.004 --> 00:09:26.074
  • It's not even positive thinking;
  • 00:09:26.074 --> 00:09:28.810
  • It is the blood-- or the lack of it, amen?
  • 00:09:28.810 --> 00:09:31.680
  • Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness
  • 00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:33.682
  • Of sins.
  • 00:09:33.682 --> 00:09:35.016
  • Can i have a good amen? so put this in the communion.
  • 00:09:35.016 --> 00:09:36.985
  • Whether you fully understand, you don't fully understand,
  • 00:09:36.985 --> 00:09:38.486
  • Doesn't really matter.
  • 00:09:38.486 --> 00:09:40.021
  • Jesus died for you.
  • 00:09:40.021 --> 00:09:41.790
  • His blood has been shed.
  • 00:09:41.790 --> 00:09:43.224
  • What you need to do is be worth--no, sorry.
  • 00:09:43.224 --> 00:09:46.194
  • Partake wor-thi-ly,
  • 00:09:46.194 --> 00:09:48.296
  • Not try to earn it, not try to deserve it.
  • 00:09:48.296 --> 00:09:51.232
  • Just know that, "he did it for me."
  • 00:09:51.232 --> 00:09:52.934
  • That's all you need to do, amen.
  • 00:09:52.934 --> 00:09:57.005
  • So watch this. 1 corinthians 11.
  • 00:09:57.005 --> 00:09:59.374
  • Paul says this: "for i received from the lord
  • 00:09:59.374 --> 00:10:02.177
  • That which i also delivered to you:
  • 00:10:02.177 --> 00:10:04.345
  • That the lord jesus on the same night
  • 00:10:04.345 --> 00:10:06.147
  • In which he was betrayed took bread;
  • 00:10:06.147 --> 00:10:08.683
  • And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said,
  • 00:10:08.683 --> 00:10:10.585
  • 'take, eat; this is my body
  • 00:10:10.585 --> 00:10:12.053
  • Which is broken for you;
  • 00:10:12.053 --> 00:10:13.922
  • This do in remembrance of me.'"
  • 00:10:13.922 --> 00:10:15.523
  • Now, listen carefully.
  • 00:10:15.523 --> 00:10:18.326
  • This is direct revelation from the lord.
  • 00:10:18.326 --> 00:10:21.496
  • He didn't learn this from matthew,
  • 00:10:21.496 --> 00:10:23.565
  • He didn't learn this from bartholomew,
  • 00:10:23.565 --> 00:10:25.667
  • He didn't learn this from thomas.
  • 00:10:25.667 --> 00:10:27.402
  • They were all there, in the upper room.
  • 00:10:27.402 --> 00:10:28.870
  • He could have gone to them and asked them, right,
  • 00:10:28.870 --> 00:10:31.039
  • But he received straight from the lord.
  • 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:32.741
  • "for i received from the lord."
  • 00:10:32.741 --> 00:10:34.909
  • What is it that-- about the communion
  • 00:10:34.909 --> 00:10:37.011
  • That is so important that the lord jesus himself--
  • 00:10:37.011 --> 00:10:41.516
  • Whether it's in vision form or jesus came to him directly
  • 00:10:41.516 --> 00:10:44.486
  • And taught him,
  • 00:10:44.486 --> 00:10:45.987
  • He received, from the lord directly, this revelation.
  • 00:10:45.987 --> 00:10:48.723
  • And it was from paul that we learn
  • 00:10:48.723 --> 00:10:51.025
  • About health and healing being available
  • 00:10:51.025 --> 00:10:55.864
  • And how neglecting this provision from god
  • 00:10:55.864 --> 00:10:59.601
  • Is causing people to be weak, sickly,
  • 00:10:59.601 --> 00:11:02.504
  • And dying prematurely.
  • 00:11:02.504 --> 00:11:06.074
  • So we have this idea that, in churches today,
  • 00:11:06.074 --> 00:11:09.677
  • If you partake the lord's supper
  • 00:11:09.677 --> 00:11:12.280
  • And you have sin in your life, then you might be sick.
  • 00:11:12.280 --> 00:11:16.184
  • It's a judgment.
  • 00:11:16.184 --> 00:11:17.519
  • Because there's sin in your life,
  • 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.853
  • You might even die prematurely.
  • 00:11:18.853 --> 00:11:20.655
  • And they got it from this passage,
  • 00:11:20.655 --> 00:11:22.090
  • And the whole thing is misconstrued.
  • 00:11:22.090 --> 00:11:23.658
  • You know, i did my best not to go into
  • 00:11:23.658 --> 00:11:25.693
  • The theological part and all that,
  • 00:11:25.693 --> 00:11:27.028
  • But the moment i did that, something happened to me.
  • 00:11:27.028 --> 00:11:29.798
  • I felt the lord saying, "no. you teach that."
  • 00:11:29.798 --> 00:11:33.001
  • So i'mma teach that as much as i can today.
  • 00:11:33.001 --> 00:11:35.637
  • So, first of all, it's a direct revelation
  • 00:11:35.637 --> 00:11:37.205
  • From the lord.
  • 00:11:37.205 --> 00:11:38.540
  • Are you listening, okay?
  • 00:11:38.540 --> 00:11:40.341
  • Number two, the lord watches over this provision.
  • 00:11:40.341 --> 00:11:43.812
  • You know, for some reason, people say,
  • 00:11:43.812 --> 00:11:45.513
  • "you know, pastor prince, it's just a piece of cracker
  • 00:11:45.513 --> 00:11:46.848
  • And a piece of juice and all that.
  • 00:11:46.848 --> 00:11:48.183
  • What can it do?"
  • 00:11:48.183 --> 00:11:49.851
  • Well, you know what happened when jes--
  • 00:11:49.851 --> 00:11:52.420
  • That woman said, "yes, master,"
  • 00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:55.857
  • When she was looking for the lord's healing
  • 00:11:55.857 --> 00:11:57.926
  • For her daughter who was demon-possessed?
  • 00:11:57.926 --> 00:12:00.094
  • And she says that, "even the crumbs that fall
  • 00:12:00.094 --> 00:12:03.364
  • From the master's table, even the crumbs."
  • 00:12:03.364 --> 00:12:06.768
  • And the lord says, "for this saying, go thy way.
  • 00:12:06.768 --> 00:12:08.803
  • The devil has gone out of your daughter."
  • 00:12:08.803 --> 00:12:11.072
  • Even a crumb can drive a demon out,
  • 00:12:11.072 --> 00:12:15.210
  • Can drive the cancer out because is the body of jesus--
  • 00:12:15.210 --> 00:12:18.646
  • It's a symbol of the body of jesus.
  • 00:12:18.646 --> 00:12:19.981
  • Hey, folks, we don't--
  • 00:12:19.981 --> 00:12:21.950
  • We are not like the puppies under the table, you know?
  • 00:12:21.950 --> 00:12:25.420
  • We are on-- seated on the table.
  • 00:12:25.420 --> 00:12:28.022
  • We don't have crumbs, we have the whole bread.
  • 00:12:28.022 --> 00:12:31.459
  • She's just saying even the crumbs
  • 00:12:31.459 --> 00:12:32.861
  • That the puppies eat.
  • 00:12:32.861 --> 00:12:34.195
  • Even puppies eat the crumbs. the puppies are gentiles.
  • 00:12:34.195 --> 00:12:37.198
  • We're not that level. we're not gentiles.
  • 00:12:37.198 --> 00:12:41.803
  • We are the church of christ. can i have a good amen?
  • 00:12:41.803 --> 00:12:46.641
  • So here we go.
  • 00:12:46.641 --> 00:12:48.877
  • Paul says, "guys, you are missing out."
  • 00:12:48.877 --> 00:12:51.179
  • And that's the reason we don't understand
  • 00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:53.615
  • That god has given us a provision, all right,
  • 00:12:53.615 --> 00:12:57.218
  • That we don't have to suffer like the world.
  • 00:12:57.218 --> 00:12:59.254
  • The world has what?
  • 00:12:59.254 --> 00:13:00.588
  • Sickness, dying prematurely.
  • 00:13:00.588 --> 00:13:02.724
  • "but i've given you a provision," god is saying,
  • 00:13:02.724 --> 00:13:05.927
  • "the body and the blood of my son.
  • 00:13:05.927 --> 00:13:08.963
  • If you'll partake, you will escape
  • 00:13:08.963 --> 00:13:11.165
  • The condemnation, the sentence of this world."
  • 00:13:11.165 --> 00:13:13.434
  • See, the world-- there's a sentence
  • 00:13:13.434 --> 00:13:14.769
  • In this world.
  • 00:13:14.769 --> 00:13:16.371
  • Ever since adam sinned, the sentence was what?
  • 00:13:16.371 --> 00:13:18.406
  • Death. but before death is what?
  • 00:13:18.406 --> 00:13:21.376
  • Weakness, sickness, death.
  • 00:13:21.376 --> 00:13:25.613
  • So that's the sentence of the world.
  • 00:13:25.613 --> 00:13:27.482
  • Now, we are not to suffer that sentence.
  • 00:13:27.482 --> 00:13:30.585
  • Now, listen carefully.
  • 00:13:30.585 --> 00:13:32.654
  • Christians do get sick.
  • 00:13:32.654 --> 00:13:35.490
  • At times, i get sick, but i know when i get sick
  • 00:13:35.490 --> 00:13:43.731
  • That this is not god's will for me, okay,
  • 00:13:43.731 --> 00:13:48.102
  • Compared to people who are sick and thinking,
  • 00:13:48.102 --> 00:13:50.305
  • "what is god teaching me?
  • 00:13:50.305 --> 00:13:53.241
  • 'cause god gave me this sickness."
  • 00:13:53.241 --> 00:13:54.642
  • Now, that's totally a different ball game, okay?
  • 00:13:54.642 --> 00:13:58.379
  • So, here, we must be clear that there was no sickness,
  • 00:13:58.379 --> 00:14:02.183
  • There was not even death until adam sinned.
  • 00:14:02.183 --> 00:14:06.888
  • So now it's not part of god's plan.
  • 00:14:06.888 --> 00:14:09.691
  • If it's part of god's plan, you'll see death
  • 00:14:09.691 --> 00:14:12.327
  • Even before adam came-- or adam sinned.
  • 00:14:12.327 --> 00:14:15.029
  • Adam would have been burying some animals.
  • 00:14:15.029 --> 00:14:19.667
  • No.
  • 00:14:19.667 --> 00:14:21.002
  • Death only came in because of sin.
  • 00:14:21.002 --> 00:14:24.172
  • That tells us god--
  • 00:14:24.172 --> 00:14:25.940
  • The way god hates sin, god hates death;
  • 00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:28.443
  • The way god hates sin, god hates sickness.
  • 00:14:28.443 --> 00:14:31.179
  • And that's why the number one thing
  • 00:14:31.179 --> 00:14:32.981
  • Jesus did in his ministry, besides preaching,
  • 00:14:32.981 --> 00:14:35.583
  • Is that he went around healing all that were sick.
  • 00:14:35.583 --> 00:14:39.554
  • You never find one time that jesus look at someone
  • 00:14:39.554 --> 00:14:42.190
  • And say, "you're too healthy.
  • 00:14:42.190 --> 00:14:43.524
  • Come here, receive a bit of leprosy.
  • 00:14:43.524 --> 00:14:45.960
  • I don't know why i'm doing this,
  • 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:47.295
  • But there's a reason god is doing this to you."
  • 00:14:47.295 --> 00:14:49.097
  • Never, never, never, never, never.
  • 00:14:49.097 --> 00:14:51.599
  • You know, he is always providing.
  • 00:14:51.599 --> 00:14:53.368
  • He never say that "these people are hungry
  • 00:14:53.368 --> 00:14:54.869
  • For 3 days.
  • 00:14:54.869 --> 00:14:56.204
  • But you know what?
  • 00:14:56.204 --> 00:14:57.538
  • There are people who fast for 7 days.
  • 00:14:57.538 --> 00:14:59.240
  • Ask daniel, all right?
  • 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.109
  • It's time for them to learn discipline."
  • 00:15:01.109 --> 00:15:02.610
  • No, he fed them. they were hungry, he fed them.
  • 00:15:02.610 --> 00:15:05.346
  • So does god wanna supply? yes.
  • 00:15:05.346 --> 00:15:07.515
  • And the supply only stops when they stop.
  • 00:15:07.515 --> 00:15:11.419
  • The bible says as much as they would.
  • 00:15:11.419 --> 00:15:13.321
  • He gave them as much as they would,
  • 00:15:13.321 --> 00:15:15.556
  • Not as god would.
  • 00:15:15.556 --> 00:15:17.225
  • So god wants you to be blessed.
  • 00:15:17.225 --> 00:15:18.926
  • He wants you to have provisions, yes.
  • 00:15:18.926 --> 00:15:21.896
  • He wants you to be healthy, yes.
  • 00:15:21.896 --> 00:15:23.231
  • And, you know, straight away, "oh, that's a prosperity gospel!
  • 00:15:23.231 --> 00:15:26.234
  • Oh, yeah."
  • 00:15:26.234 --> 00:15:27.568
  • Okay, okay, praise god. hallelujah.
  • 00:15:27.568 --> 00:15:29.537
  • I'm ignorant. amen?
  • 00:15:29.537 --> 00:15:32.507
  • All i know is that the gospel is called
  • 00:15:32.507 --> 00:15:34.275
  • The gospel of the grace of god, but i'm so ignorant
  • 00:15:34.275 --> 00:15:37.779
  • That i think that the gospel of the grace of god
  • 00:15:37.779 --> 00:15:39.881
  • From history, even from history,
  • 00:15:39.881 --> 00:15:41.783
  • Wherever he has gone, it has brought civilization.
  • 00:15:41.783 --> 00:15:45.019
  • Women are respected and honored.
  • 00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:48.623
  • Education has been the stronghold of christians
  • 00:15:48.623 --> 00:15:53.461
  • In every country where the gospel has gone to.
  • 00:15:53.461 --> 00:15:56.931
  • Amen.
  • 00:15:56.931 --> 00:15:58.266
  • Children are given a chance to be educated.
  • 00:15:58.266 --> 00:16:01.969
  • So what has happened is that,
  • 00:16:01.969 --> 00:16:05.173
  • Instead of partaking of the provisions,
  • 00:16:05.173 --> 00:16:07.542
  • "pastor prince, just eating is such simple act."
  • 00:16:07.542 --> 00:16:10.711
  • A simple act brought the entire fall of man.
  • 00:16:10.711 --> 00:16:14.015
  • It was a simple act.
  • 00:16:14.015 --> 00:16:15.349
  • It was a simple act that brought--
  • 00:16:15.349 --> 00:16:17.351
  • Every time you cry tears because of someone's death,
  • 00:16:17.351 --> 00:16:20.321
  • A relative's death or whatever, just remember:
  • 00:16:20.321 --> 00:16:22.723
  • A simple act.
  • 00:16:22.723 --> 00:16:24.459
  • It was a simple act that caused everything happening.
  • 00:16:24.459 --> 00:16:26.961
  • All the curse came in because of a simple act.
  • 00:16:26.961 --> 00:16:29.497
  • Doesn't it stand to godly reason, then,
  • 00:16:29.497 --> 00:16:32.200
  • That god ordained you can eat your way out
  • 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:36.971
  • Of the curse, of-- everything began
  • 00:16:36.971 --> 00:16:39.240
  • With the simple act of eating.
  • 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.275
  • They can look at the tree, no problem, right?
  • 00:16:41.275 --> 00:16:45.513
  • They can even touch the tree, no problem.
  • 00:16:45.513 --> 00:16:49.417
  • Eve at that, cannot touch it.
  • 00:16:49.417 --> 00:16:51.452
  • God never say cannot touch it, but don't eat it.
  • 00:16:51.452 --> 00:16:55.656
  • Eating is partaking.
  • 00:16:55.656 --> 00:16:57.592
  • So you are the same when you partake.
  • 00:16:57.592 --> 00:17:00.228
  • Don't just listen about the communion.
  • 00:17:00.228 --> 00:17:01.596
  • It's when you partake.
  • 00:17:01.596 --> 00:17:05.299
  • Amen.
  • 00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:06.834
  • So let's go on. praise god.
  • 00:17:06.834 --> 00:17:08.603
  • Verse 25, "in the same manner he also took the cup and said,
  • 00:17:08.603 --> 00:17:11.706
  • 'this cup is the new covenant.
  • 00:17:11.706 --> 00:17:13.307
  • All right, do this in remembrance of me.'"
  • 00:17:13.307 --> 00:17:15.710
  • Don't forget, all this is given by the lord jesus direct.
  • 00:17:15.710 --> 00:17:17.979
  • "for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,
  • 00:17:17.979 --> 00:17:19.881
  • You proclaim the lord's death till he comes."
  • 00:17:19.881 --> 00:17:22.617
  • Proclaim the lord's death.
  • 00:17:22.617 --> 00:17:24.051
  • Proclaiming the lord's death.
  • 00:17:24.051 --> 00:17:25.453
  • Some of you are proclaiming the lord's death.
  • 00:17:25.453 --> 00:17:27.622
  • Now we come to this exciting part.
  • 00:17:27.622 --> 00:17:29.457
  • "for as often--" as often, not as seldom.
  • 00:17:29.457 --> 00:17:31.959
  • Verse 27, drop down, "therefore whoever eats
  • 00:17:31.959 --> 00:17:34.629
  • This bread or drinks this cup of the lord
  • 00:17:34.629 --> 00:17:36.130
  • In an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body
  • 00:17:36.130 --> 00:17:38.065
  • And blood of the lord," okay?
  • 00:17:38.065 --> 00:17:40.234
  • Notice, focus in an unworthy manner.
  • 00:17:40.234 --> 00:17:42.803
  • So every time i come sin conscious, it's unworthy.
  • 00:17:42.803 --> 00:17:45.439
  • Because he said the cup is for the remission of sins.
  • 00:17:45.439 --> 00:17:48.242
  • And you are acting like sin is not remitted.
  • 00:17:48.242 --> 00:17:51.312
  • It's unworthy. amen?
  • 00:17:51.312 --> 00:17:53.581
  • "let a man examine himself, and so let him eat
  • 00:17:53.581 --> 00:17:56.050
  • Of the bread and drink of the cup."
  • 00:17:56.050 --> 00:17:57.385
  • The way it's taught today is like this:
  • 00:17:57.385 --> 00:17:58.719
  • Let a man examine himself for sin, right?
  • 00:17:58.719 --> 00:18:03.891
  • Doesn't say let a man examine himself
  • 00:18:03.891 --> 00:18:06.027
  • And abstain from the bread and push away the cup.
  • 00:18:06.027 --> 00:18:09.397
  • That's what i used to do.
  • 00:18:09.397 --> 00:18:10.731
  • After i examined myself, no more faith to partake.
  • 00:18:10.731 --> 00:18:15.002
  • I was so scared.
  • 00:18:15.002 --> 00:18:16.337
  • But the word examine is the greek word dokimazo.
  • 00:18:16.337 --> 00:18:19.106
  • Dokimazo is the word "examine for good things."
  • 00:18:19.106 --> 00:18:22.343
  • Look at this, dokimazo, definition of vine's expository.
  • 00:18:22.343 --> 00:18:26.480
  • Vine is a great greek scholar.
  • 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.282
  • He said this of dokimazo:
  • 00:18:28.282 --> 00:18:30.151
  • To prove with a view to approving,
  • 00:18:30.151 --> 00:18:33.454
  • Not a view of something negative.
  • 00:18:33.454 --> 00:18:36.557
  • It's to prove something good,
  • 00:18:36.557 --> 00:18:38.826
  • To prove with a view to approval!
  • 00:18:38.826 --> 00:18:43.164
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:18:43.164 --> 00:18:44.498
  • So this idea of examining yourself for sin
  • 00:18:44.498 --> 00:18:46.734
  • Doesn't fit in with dokimazo.
  • 00:18:46.734 --> 00:18:51.372
  • Okay, go back to the passage again.
  • 00:18:51.372 --> 00:18:54.275
  • Let a man examine, approve himself, amen?
  • 00:18:54.275 --> 00:18:58.379
  • Yes, i know the purpose of the lord's supper.
  • 00:18:58.379 --> 00:19:01.983
  • I know his body was broken for my sins
  • 00:19:01.983 --> 00:19:04.485
  • And for my diseases, amen?
  • 00:19:04.485 --> 00:19:06.654
  • I partake, receiving his health. i know.
  • 00:19:06.654 --> 00:19:08.990
  • I'm examining myself. i'm proving what is a proof.
  • 00:19:08.990 --> 00:19:13.194
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:19:13.194 --> 00:19:14.729
  • Okay, so let him eat of the bread
  • 00:19:14.729 --> 00:19:16.464
  • And drink of the cup.
  • 00:19:16.464 --> 00:19:17.932
  • Doesn't say examine yourself and then abstain from the cup,
  • 00:19:17.932 --> 00:19:21.702
  • Abstain from the--no.
  • 00:19:21.702 --> 00:19:23.571
  • That's what's happening in the church.
  • 00:19:23.571 --> 00:19:24.972
  • Drop down.
  • 00:19:24.972 --> 00:19:26.507
  • "for he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner
  • 00:19:26.507 --> 00:19:28.909
  • Eats and drinks judgment to himself,
  • 00:19:28.909 --> 00:19:30.645
  • Not discerning the lord's body."
  • 00:19:30.645 --> 00:19:32.380
  • Now, drinks judgment to himself.
  • 00:19:32.380 --> 00:19:35.149
  • This is the part where it gets a bit--
  • 00:19:35.149 --> 00:19:36.484
  • People are concerned: drinks judgment to himself.
  • 00:19:36.484 --> 00:19:38.352
  • "well, pastor prince, you know, there you go.
  • 00:19:38.352 --> 00:19:40.688
  • It drinks judgment." now, let me just tell you this.
  • 00:19:40.688 --> 00:19:42.523
  • The word judgment here is krima.
  • 00:19:42.523 --> 00:19:44.659
  • Let me just tell you this. judgment is there, all right?
  • 00:19:44.659 --> 00:19:48.329
  • You can also judge yourself. am i right?
  • 00:19:48.329 --> 00:19:52.566
  • So who is the one that's partaking unworthily?
  • 00:19:52.566 --> 00:19:54.502
  • He's the one who is eating, judging himself.
  • 00:19:54.502 --> 00:19:57.371
  • He's eating judgment to himself.
  • 00:19:57.371 --> 00:19:59.540
  • The word "to himself" in-- is the reflexive noun
  • 00:19:59.540 --> 00:20:02.977
  • In the greek.
  • 00:20:02.977 --> 00:20:04.712
  • Reflexive noun--i told you a bit theological, right?
  • 00:20:04.712 --> 00:20:07.548
  • Reflexive noun means the person is doing it
  • 00:20:07.548 --> 00:20:10.885
  • To himself, not god.
  • 00:20:10.885 --> 00:20:14.221
  • Reflexive noun is like john is doing to john,
  • 00:20:14.221 --> 00:20:17.725
  • Mark is doing to mark, peter is doing to peter.
  • 00:20:17.725 --> 00:20:20.261
  • Nobody has doing to-- nobody outside is doing to him.
  • 00:20:20.261 --> 00:20:24.065
  • When in other words, he's sin conscious.
  • 00:20:24.065 --> 00:20:27.001
  • He's eating, right, sin conscious.
  • 00:20:27.001 --> 00:20:30.538
  • He's still feeling judgment.
  • 00:20:30.538 --> 00:20:33.374
  • He's eating judgment.
  • 00:20:33.374 --> 00:20:34.842
  • He's not eating justification.
  • 00:20:34.842 --> 00:20:38.813
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:20:38.813 --> 00:20:40.581
  • "to himself" means-- over there you check it out,
  • 00:20:40.581 --> 00:20:43.017
  • You know, in the greek it's a reflexive noun.
  • 00:20:43.017 --> 00:20:45.252
  • It's something he's doing to himself.
  • 00:20:45.252 --> 00:20:46.854
  • So if you partake with judgment to yourself,
  • 00:20:46.854 --> 00:20:50.324
  • If you are self-condemned you partake,
  • 00:20:50.324 --> 00:20:51.892
  • That is partaking unworthily, because the cup that you hold
  • 00:20:51.892 --> 00:20:55.096
  • Is proof that your sins have been put away,
  • 00:20:55.096 --> 00:20:59.133
  • Yet you're seeing your sins on yourself.
  • 00:20:59.133 --> 00:21:02.136
  • You are drinking judgment to yourself,
  • 00:21:02.136 --> 00:21:04.772
  • Not judgment from god, okay?
  • 00:21:04.772 --> 00:21:10.077
  • For this reason, okay, not discerning the lord's body,
  • 00:21:10.077 --> 00:21:13.247
  • All right?
  • 00:21:13.247 --> 00:21:14.582
  • Not discerning the lord's body. so another feature is this.
  • 00:21:14.582 --> 00:21:17.385
  • Then you are condemning yourself.
  • 00:21:17.385 --> 00:21:18.719
  • You're not discerning the lord's body.
  • 00:21:18.719 --> 00:21:20.054
  • The lord's body was broken-- listen, listen, was broken
  • 00:21:20.054 --> 00:21:23.057
  • So that judgment will not be part of your life.
  • 00:21:23.057 --> 00:21:26.127
  • Judgment is over and gone.
  • 00:21:26.127 --> 00:21:29.263
  • He dispensed a judgment of god, right?
  • 00:21:29.263 --> 00:21:31.665
  • So also the body-- another judgment on mankind
  • 00:21:31.665 --> 00:21:37.905
  • In terms of our body is sickness and death
  • 00:21:37.905 --> 00:21:40.841
  • Fasten itself.
  • 00:21:40.841 --> 00:21:42.176
  • So we can discern the lord's body.
  • 00:21:42.176 --> 00:21:43.544
  • Why was his body broken? you must make a difference.
  • 00:21:43.544 --> 00:21:46.881
  • Now we come to the greek word
  • 00:21:46.881 --> 00:21:48.249
  • "not discerning the lord's body."
  • 00:21:48.249 --> 00:21:50.017
  • It is the word--
  • 00:21:50.017 --> 00:21:51.419
  • "not discerning" is the word diakrino.
  • 00:21:51.419 --> 00:21:53.220
  • And diakrino is this in the thea's definition.
  • 00:21:53.220 --> 00:21:58.092
  • Show them thea's definition.
  • 00:21:58.092 --> 00:21:59.593
  • To separate--say, "separate"-- make a distinction,
  • 00:21:59.593 --> 00:22:03.964
  • Discriminate, to prefer.
  • 00:22:03.964 --> 00:22:06.100
  • Now, look at me. look at me.
  • 00:22:06.100 --> 00:22:07.735
  • Do you know something?
  • 00:22:07.735 --> 00:22:09.069
  • Mark 11:23, that famous passage says that
  • 00:22:09.069 --> 00:22:14.141
  • If you speak to the mountain
  • 00:22:14.141 --> 00:22:16.477
  • And you don't doubt in your heart,
  • 00:22:16.477 --> 00:22:19.613
  • And don't doubt in your heart,
  • 00:22:19.613 --> 00:22:20.948
  • You will do not only what is done
  • 00:22:20.948 --> 00:22:22.283
  • To the fig tree that was cursed, but the mountain will move.
  • 00:22:22.283 --> 00:22:26.454
  • And the word "doubt not in your heart,"
  • 00:22:26.454 --> 00:22:28.656
  • We always teach "doubt not" means don't doubt,
  • 00:22:28.656 --> 00:22:31.459
  • But actually there's another place
  • 00:22:31.459 --> 00:22:32.893
  • Where that word doubt is used:
  • 00:22:32.893 --> 00:22:34.295
  • When peter was walking on the water,
  • 00:22:34.295 --> 00:22:37.264
  • Then he looked at the storm and the waves, then he sank.
  • 00:22:37.264 --> 00:22:40.034
  • Jesus grabbed hold of him and jesus said this:
  • 00:22:40.034 --> 00:22:42.069
  • "why did you doubt?"
  • 00:22:42.069 --> 00:22:44.004
  • It's a different word from diakrino.
  • 00:22:44.004 --> 00:22:46.273
  • Over there, it is literally doubt.
  • 00:22:46.273 --> 00:22:47.808
  • It is the word distazo.
  • 00:22:47.808 --> 00:22:49.877
  • In other words, distazo is made of double standing.
  • 00:22:49.877 --> 00:22:53.047
  • Stasis is standing. dis, double.
  • 00:22:53.047 --> 00:22:55.216
  • Distazo. "why did you distazo?
  • 00:22:55.216 --> 00:22:57.985
  • You are believing me, looking at me,
  • 00:22:57.985 --> 00:23:00.988
  • And you're looking at circumstances.
  • 00:23:00.988 --> 00:23:02.323
  • You're looking at me, looking at circumstances.
  • 00:23:02.323 --> 00:23:03.958
  • You have two standing.
  • 00:23:03.958 --> 00:23:05.593
  • Why do you--" that's doubt.
  • 00:23:05.593 --> 00:23:07.328
  • But in mark 11:23, he says if you--
  • 00:23:07.328 --> 00:23:10.998
  • Is diakrino, don't doubt in your heart.
  • 00:23:10.998 --> 00:23:12.800
  • Don't make a distinction
  • 00:23:12.800 --> 00:23:14.134
  • Between the cursing of the fig tree.
  • 00:23:14.134 --> 00:23:15.536
  • Many people say, "i can curse the fig tree, it's small,
  • 00:23:15.536 --> 00:23:18.272
  • But moving a mountain, i can't."
  • 00:23:18.272 --> 00:23:19.673
  • Don't make a difference.
  • 00:23:19.673 --> 00:23:23.577
  • Don't make a difference.
  • 00:23:23.644 --> 00:23:26.580
  • Do not diakrino in your heart.
  • 00:23:26.580 --> 00:23:28.449
  • Because diakrino means what? separate.
  • 00:23:28.449 --> 00:23:30.117
  • There--right below there it says doubt,
  • 00:23:30.117 --> 00:23:32.586
  • To be at variance with oneself.
  • 00:23:32.586 --> 00:23:34.755
  • Another revelation there is krino is judging.
  • 00:23:34.755 --> 00:23:37.424
  • Dia is "by means of."
  • 00:23:37.424 --> 00:23:38.959
  • You are judging yourself, you can't speak to the mountain.
  • 00:23:38.959 --> 00:23:44.331
  • Okay? got it so far?
  • 00:23:44.331 --> 00:23:45.666
  • But the primary use of diakrino
  • 00:23:45.666 --> 00:23:47.768
  • Is to make a distinction.
  • 00:23:47.768 --> 00:23:49.103
  • So let's go back to the passage again.
  • 00:23:49.103 --> 00:23:50.437
  • And it says not discerning the lord's body means what?
  • 00:23:50.437 --> 00:23:52.506
  • You are not making a distinction.
  • 00:23:52.506 --> 00:23:53.841
  • A lot of people they take the bread
  • 00:23:53.841 --> 00:23:55.175
  • And they take the cup and just say,
  • 00:23:55.175 --> 00:23:56.510
  • "i've taken communion already"
  • 00:23:56.510 --> 00:23:57.845
  • They don't distinguish.
  • 00:23:57.845 --> 00:23:59.179
  • Do you know the blood-- many people know
  • 00:23:59.179 --> 00:24:00.748
  • The blood is for the forgiveness of sins, amen?
  • 00:24:00.748 --> 00:24:04.652
  • But they lump both the bread and the cup as one.
  • 00:24:04.652 --> 00:24:09.957
  • No one taught them to distinguish,
  • 00:24:09.957 --> 00:24:11.825
  • Make a difference between the bread,
  • 00:24:11.825 --> 00:24:16.797
  • The lord's body; and the blood, the cup.
  • 00:24:16.797 --> 00:24:22.336
  • So for this reason, i'm not distinguishing,
  • 00:24:22.336 --> 00:24:23.971
  • Not diakrino.
  • 00:24:23.971 --> 00:24:25.906
  • "for this reason many are weak and sick among you
  • 00:24:25.906 --> 00:24:29.710
  • And fall asleep."
  • 00:24:29.710 --> 00:24:31.045
  • They die prematurely. is this god's will?
  • 00:24:31.045 --> 00:24:33.247
  • No. amen.
  • 00:24:33.247 --> 00:24:36.450
  • I pray that this will encourage you
  • 00:24:36.450 --> 00:24:38.552
  • To partake of the lord's supper,
  • 00:24:38.552 --> 00:24:40.087
  • Especially when you've been diagnosed with something,
  • 00:24:40.087 --> 00:24:42.222
  • Hands have been laid on you.
  • 00:24:42.222 --> 00:24:43.757
  • But you know what? don't give up.
  • 00:24:43.757 --> 00:24:45.225
  • Keep on partaking.
  • 00:24:45.225 --> 00:24:46.560
  • Many a times the miracles i see through the lord's supper
  • 00:24:46.560 --> 00:24:52.833
  • Has not come instantaneously.
  • 00:24:52.833 --> 00:24:54.935
  • It's come thirtyfold, sixtyfold,
  • 00:24:54.935 --> 00:24:58.038
  • And then a hundredfold, but it will surely come.
  • 00:24:58.038 --> 00:25:01.775

  • Far, far, far from places, lord, that will cause evil to happen.
