- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:09.986
- Joseph prince: thank you for tuning in
- 00:00:10.420 --> 00:00:12.255
- To today's program.
- 00:00:12.388 --> 00:00:14.190
- I believe it's no coincidence that you're watching this today.
- 00:00:14.290 --> 00:00:17.827
- I pray that as the word of god goes forth,
- 00:00:17.961 --> 00:00:18.728
- You'll receive the breakthrough and answers
- 00:00:20.530 --> 00:00:22.565
- You've been asking the lord for.
- 00:00:22.565 --> 00:00:24.701
- Be blessed.
- 00:00:24.701 --> 00:00:26.736
- Joseph prince: if you're suffering mental issues,
- 00:00:26.736 --> 00:00:30.507
- You've been diagnosed with depression
- 00:00:30.507 --> 00:00:31.875
- Or whatever it is,
- 00:00:31.875 --> 00:00:33.209
- You keep yourself in the room, take one step.
- 00:00:33.209 --> 00:00:35.678
- Just get up, breathe, eat, and just start walking out,
- 00:00:35.678 --> 00:00:41.484
- Just a walk in the park.
- 00:00:41.484 --> 00:00:42.852
- Maybe just go up there and sit down,
- 00:00:42.852 --> 00:00:45.355
- And you take one step, just one step.
- 00:00:45.355 --> 00:00:47.123
- Don't worry about tomorrow.
- 00:00:47.123 --> 00:00:48.858
- God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up
- 00:00:48.858 --> 00:00:51.461
- When the time comes."
- 00:00:51.461 --> 00:00:52.795
- The manna comes daily.
- 00:00:52.795 --> 00:00:54.497
- And there's enough manna for one day at a time.
- 00:00:54.497 --> 00:00:57.367
- Jesus says to the man who was impotent in his feet,
- 00:00:57.367 --> 00:01:01.738
- Cannot walk for 38 years,
- 00:01:01.738 --> 00:01:04.040
- "get up!
- 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:05.375
- Take up your bed!
- 00:01:05.375 --> 00:01:07.210
- And walk."
- 00:01:07.210 --> 00:01:08.912
- Start walking.
- 00:01:08.912 --> 00:01:10.246
- Walk your way into wholeness. walk your way into health.
- 00:01:10.246 --> 00:01:12.315
- You know, this is gonna be the year, amen.
- 00:01:12.315 --> 00:01:14.918
- You are thinking of "well, my condition, you know,
- 00:01:14.918 --> 00:01:16.519
- Is a chronic condition and it will take some time.
- 00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.289
- I believe i'll get well and all that."
- 00:01:19.289 --> 00:01:21.057
- Well, this year he's gonna accelerate time for you.
- 00:01:21.057 --> 00:01:23.459
- God can manipulate time in your favor this year.
- 00:01:23.459 --> 00:01:27.363
- ♪♪♪
- 00:01:27.363 --> 00:01:32.735
- Joseph prince: if you are suffering mental depression,
- 00:01:34.037 --> 00:01:35.972
- Listen to what i'm gonna say, amen?
- 00:01:35.972 --> 00:01:38.041
- Just live one day at a time, get up,
- 00:01:38.041 --> 00:01:40.310
- Just do what you're supposed to do,
- 00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:41.644
- Next thing and the next thing, and the holy spirit
- 00:01:41.644 --> 00:01:44.013
- Will lead you first step by step by step--
- 00:01:44.013 --> 00:01:47.617
- The secret of the winding stairs.
- 00:01:47.617 --> 00:01:49.352
- Before you know it, you're on another level.
- 00:01:49.352 --> 00:01:52.589
- Before you know it, you're in a larger place
- 00:01:52.589 --> 00:01:54.891
- To inherit even more.
- 00:01:54.891 --> 00:01:57.293
- Are you listening?
- 00:01:57.293 --> 00:02:00.463
- "thy word is a lamp unto my feet."
- 00:02:00.463 --> 00:02:02.865
- And i read an account of a man who went to israel in the 1800s,
- 00:02:02.865 --> 00:02:07.537
- And back then they don't have, you know,
- 00:02:07.537 --> 00:02:09.639
- The modern convenience of, like, buses and guides,
- 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.608
- But the guides back then
- 00:02:11.608 --> 00:02:12.942
- Will carry their luggage for them,
- 00:02:12.942 --> 00:02:14.277
- And they'll be on a camel, and the guide--
- 00:02:14.277 --> 00:02:15.945
- When their hands are full at night,
- 00:02:15.945 --> 00:02:17.480
- As evening comes and darkness descends,
- 00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:22.318
- They will tie a lamp around their feet.
- 00:02:22.318 --> 00:02:25.154
- And then the one who was riding a camel was a minister.
- 00:02:25.154 --> 00:02:28.258
- He says that reminds him of psalms 119, verse 105,
- 00:02:28.258 --> 00:02:31.928
- Says, "thy word is a lamp unto my feet."
- 00:02:31.928 --> 00:02:34.964
- He does not see the end journey.
- 00:02:34.964 --> 00:02:38.034
- Neither can you when you climb up the stairs.
- 00:02:38.034 --> 00:02:42.939
- If you're suffering mental issues, okay,
- 00:02:42.939 --> 00:02:49.178
- You've been diagnosed with depression
- 00:02:49.178 --> 00:02:50.713
- Or whatever it is, you keep yourself in the room,
- 00:02:50.713 --> 00:02:53.516
- Take one step.
- 00:02:53.516 --> 00:02:55.718
- Maybe just go up there and sit down and watch tv.
- 00:02:55.718 --> 00:03:01.524
- And you take one step, just one step.
- 00:03:01.524 --> 00:03:03.426
- Don't worry about tomorrow.
- 00:03:03.426 --> 00:03:04.894
- "but i--i'm not working." don't worry.
- 00:03:04.894 --> 00:03:06.796
- One step will lead you to your job.
- 00:03:06.796 --> 00:03:09.032
- "but i'm not married at my age."
- 00:03:09.032 --> 00:03:10.366
- One step will lead you to the right place.
- 00:03:10.366 --> 00:03:12.935
- Imagine rebecca went that morning,
- 00:03:12.935 --> 00:03:15.204
- Not knowing that she will meet her--
- 00:03:15.204 --> 00:03:17.440
- She's about to meet her very, very anointed
- 00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:23.746
- And rich fiancé, her husband-to-be,
- 00:03:23.746 --> 00:03:28.718
- Which is isaac, but she met the servant, right?
- 00:03:28.718 --> 00:03:31.421
- And she was just obeying the lord
- 00:03:31.421 --> 00:03:34.724
- By being generous to feed his camel,
- 00:03:34.724 --> 00:03:36.893
- End up she became the wife of isaac,
- 00:03:36.893 --> 00:03:38.861
- Abraham's son, who inherited everything from abraham.
- 00:03:38.861 --> 00:03:42.965
- One step at a time.
- 00:03:42.965 --> 00:03:46.102
- Show them the message bible.
- 00:03:46.102 --> 00:03:48.471
- Matthew 6, it says like this: "give your entire attention
- 00:03:48.471 --> 00:03:51.874
- To what god is doing right now, and don't get worked up
- 00:03:51.874 --> 00:03:55.178
- About what may or may not happen tomorrow.
- 00:03:55.178 --> 00:03:57.880
- God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up
- 00:03:57.880 --> 00:04:00.583
- When the time comes."
- 00:04:00.583 --> 00:04:01.918
- This brings up the spirit of what jesus is saying:
- 00:04:01.918 --> 00:04:03.319
- Don't worry about tomorrow.
- 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.088
- This is a message translation.
- 00:04:05.088 --> 00:04:07.357
- Enough problems today.
- 00:04:07.357 --> 00:04:09.425
- And the manna comes daily.
- 00:04:09.425 --> 00:04:11.561
- And there's enough manna for one day at a time.
- 00:04:11.561 --> 00:04:15.264
- Are you listening?
- 00:04:15.264 --> 00:04:16.833
- There's enough grace for today, like the manna principle.
- 00:04:16.833 --> 00:04:19.702
- The manna stinks if they keep it for another day.
- 00:04:19.702 --> 00:04:22.405
- There's manna every day.
- 00:04:22.405 --> 00:04:24.974
- He doesn't want you to be worried about tomorrow.
- 00:04:24.974 --> 00:04:26.843
- Jesus said don't worry about tomorrow.
- 00:04:26.843 --> 00:04:28.578
- There's enough grace for today.
- 00:04:28.578 --> 00:04:30.713
- A lady would say things like-- it's a true story.
- 00:04:30.713 --> 00:04:34.350
- I went for a holiday with a friend,
- 00:04:34.350 --> 00:04:35.818
- And she looked at the beautiful place,
- 00:04:35.818 --> 00:04:37.487
- And many people that do this--
- 00:04:37.487 --> 00:04:38.821
- They do, "oh, this place is so beautiful!
- 00:04:38.821 --> 00:04:40.790
- I must come back here one day."
- 00:04:40.790 --> 00:04:42.759
- And a friend is thinking, "you are here."
- 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.628
- How many times we have lived in the future?
- 00:04:45.628 --> 00:04:47.997
- How many times we have lived in the past, in regret?
- 00:04:47.997 --> 00:04:50.566
- We regret, but we are here with our loved one.
- 00:04:50.566 --> 00:04:52.869
- We are here at this age.
- 00:04:52.869 --> 00:04:54.303
- We are here while we are still young.
- 00:04:54.303 --> 00:04:55.671
- We are worried about old age.
- 00:04:55.671 --> 00:04:57.006
- We are here and we regret the past.
- 00:04:57.006 --> 00:04:59.275
- You know, god can accelerate time for you.
- 00:04:59.275 --> 00:05:03.479
- Jesus, our lord jesus--
- 00:05:03.479 --> 00:05:06.549
- The first beginning of miracles--
- 00:05:06.549 --> 00:05:07.884
- The bible says, "in cana of galilee,
- 00:05:07.884 --> 00:05:09.786
- On the third day there was a wedding in cana of galilee,
- 00:05:09.786 --> 00:05:11.954
- And the mother of jesus was there.
- 00:05:11.954 --> 00:05:13.623
- Now both jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding."
- 00:05:13.623 --> 00:05:16.826
- And you know, they had-- they ran out of wine,
- 00:05:16.826 --> 00:05:18.261
- You know that, right, amen?
- 00:05:18.261 --> 00:05:20.062
- I've shared on this before, if you remember,
- 00:05:20.062 --> 00:05:23.266
- And they went to jesus, and mother said
- 00:05:23.266 --> 00:05:24.767
- They have no wine.
- 00:05:24.767 --> 00:05:26.102
- Now listen, the mother said this--
- 00:05:26.102 --> 00:05:27.637
- I want you all to learn this from the lips of mary.
- 00:05:27.637 --> 00:05:31.507
- It says, "whatsoever he says to you, do it!"
- 00:05:31.507 --> 00:05:36.412
- And it's always the first step.
- 00:05:36.412 --> 00:05:38.214
- If it tells you, don't worry,
- 00:05:38.214 --> 00:05:39.749
- You're depressed now, just get up, breathe, eat,
- 00:05:39.749 --> 00:05:44.821
- And just start walking out, just a walk in the park,
- 00:05:44.821 --> 00:05:48.024
- Just a walk in the park.
- 00:05:48.024 --> 00:05:49.358
- By the way, talking about walking--the lord--
- 00:05:49.358 --> 00:05:50.726
- This is from the lord.
- 00:05:50.726 --> 00:05:52.061
- The lord told me to tell you all:
- 00:05:52.061 --> 00:05:53.396
- Start walking again.
- 00:05:53.396 --> 00:05:56.666
- Do you know a neuroscientist just--
- 00:05:56.666 --> 00:05:58.601
- And my wife gave me this-- just again this past week,
- 00:05:58.601 --> 00:06:01.204
- She gave me an article from a neuroscientist
- 00:06:01.204 --> 00:06:03.773
- Who said that people who walk often, amen,
- 00:06:03.773 --> 00:06:06.375
- People walk-- even 30 minutes a day,
- 00:06:06.375 --> 00:06:09.245
- People who walk, they are more--
- 00:06:09.245 --> 00:06:11.247
- It helps their brain, not just their physical health,
- 00:06:11.247 --> 00:06:13.449
- Helps their brain, and he's a neuroscientist, amen.
- 00:06:13.449 --> 00:06:18.521
- It's something about walking out--outside especially
- 00:06:18.521 --> 00:06:21.157
- That gives you a broad-- you know, your mind is at ease.
- 00:06:21.157 --> 00:06:24.227
- And many-- charles dickens, for example,
- 00:06:24.227 --> 00:06:27.697
- His ideas and all that come when he's walking.
- 00:06:27.697 --> 00:06:29.499
- A lot of people get ideas when they walk, amen.
- 00:06:29.499 --> 00:06:34.437
- Mark zuckerberg loves walking and talking
- 00:06:34.437 --> 00:06:37.406
- With his employees because the ideas flow.
- 00:06:37.406 --> 00:06:41.010
- This sermon came to me while i was walking.
- 00:06:41.010 --> 00:06:44.847
- And the lord had me tell-- you know, want to tell y'all:
- 00:06:44.847 --> 00:06:47.583
- Start walking. if you prefer running, go ahead.
- 00:06:47.583 --> 00:06:50.086
- You know, not--no problem, but start walking.
- 00:06:50.086 --> 00:06:53.556
- Incorporate walking into your life.
- 00:06:53.556 --> 00:06:55.324
- Find a place to walk, amen.
- 00:06:55.324 --> 00:06:57.460
- This neuroscientist talks about when you walk
- 00:06:57.460 --> 00:06:59.962
- And you even avoid people, your brain is starting to,
- 00:06:59.962 --> 00:07:02.965
- You know, produce new-- like, you know those tendrils,
- 00:07:02.965 --> 00:07:06.669
- You know?
- 00:07:06.669 --> 00:07:08.004
- It's like new veins.
- 00:07:08.004 --> 00:07:09.338
- You sit at home, do nothing is...
- 00:07:09.338 --> 00:07:11.140
- Eating. you.
- 00:07:11.140 --> 00:07:13.042
- And the mountain is growing, you know, blocking your view.
- 00:07:13.042 --> 00:07:20.082
- Get up. get up!
- 00:07:20.082 --> 00:07:22.652
- Jesus says to the man who was impotent in his feet,
- 00:07:22.652 --> 00:07:27.056
- Cannot walk for 38 years,
- 00:07:27.056 --> 00:07:29.292
- "get up!
- 00:07:29.292 --> 00:07:30.626
- Take up your bed!
- 00:07:30.626 --> 00:07:32.428
- And walk."
- 00:07:32.428 --> 00:07:34.196
- Start walking.
- 00:07:34.196 --> 00:07:35.531
- Walk your way into wholeness, walk your way into health, amen?
- 00:07:35.531 --> 00:07:38.634
- Now, just natural walking-- now, god tells us to walk.
- 00:07:38.634 --> 00:07:41.270
- There's some power in it.
- 00:07:41.270 --> 00:07:42.939
- He's gonna bless it, amen?
- 00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:45.274
- One step at a time.
- 00:07:45.274 --> 00:07:47.243
- Don't worry about what you can't see
- 00:07:47.243 --> 00:07:48.744
- In front of you.
- 00:07:48.744 --> 00:07:50.146
- Just obey the lord.
- 00:07:50.146 --> 00:07:51.480
- He might prompt you to do something.
- 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.849
- He might prompt you to study something.
- 00:07:53.849 --> 00:07:56.552
- He might prompt you.
- 00:07:56.552 --> 00:07:58.387
- Even your relationship with your spouse,
- 00:07:58.387 --> 00:08:01.557
- You might be in a place
- 00:08:01.557 --> 00:08:02.892
- Where you feel it's breaking down.
- 00:08:02.892 --> 00:08:04.493
- "how can i get this back? how can i redeem the time?"
- 00:08:04.493 --> 00:08:07.663
- Well, the bible says, you can redeem the time
- 00:08:07.663 --> 00:08:10.666
- By becoming wise.
- 00:08:10.666 --> 00:08:12.668
- Ask god for wisdom, and he will show you
- 00:08:12.668 --> 00:08:14.136
- One step at a time.
- 00:08:14.136 --> 00:08:15.638
- Just do that.
- 00:08:15.638 --> 00:08:16.973
- Maybe god says, "talk less, listen.
- 00:08:16.973 --> 00:08:21.410
- Resist the urge to talk. just listen.
- 00:08:21.410 --> 00:08:24.647
- Just listen. just listen."
- 00:08:24.647 --> 00:08:26.949
- "but how can just that one little thing--"
- 00:08:26.949 --> 00:08:29.185
- Just listen.
- 00:08:29.185 --> 00:08:30.987
- For some of you are hearing god right now
- 00:08:30.987 --> 00:08:32.421
- For your first step, just listen.
- 00:08:32.421 --> 00:08:35.591
- Resist all the urge inside you to want to say something,
- 00:08:35.591 --> 00:08:40.162
- To want to-- resist it and just listen.
- 00:08:40.162 --> 00:08:43.599
- I think that's a word for a number of you
- 00:08:43.599 --> 00:08:45.401
- Having challenges in your relationship,
- 00:08:45.401 --> 00:08:51.774
- Your spouse, or even with your teenager,
- 00:08:51.774 --> 00:08:56.379
- Or with your son or daughter.
- 00:08:56.379 --> 00:08:59.415
- Perhaps god is saying something else to somebody else.
- 00:08:59.415 --> 00:09:02.918
- Or just do that one thing, will you?
- 00:09:02.918 --> 00:09:04.587
- Whatever he says to you, do it.
- 00:09:04.587 --> 00:09:09.358
- And the lord of time and space--
- 00:09:09.358 --> 00:09:11.494
- You don't have to worry whether he accelerates
- 00:09:11.494 --> 00:09:13.129
- Or he suspends time or reverses time.
- 00:09:13.129 --> 00:09:15.364
- You don't have to worry about the wider space
- 00:09:15.364 --> 00:09:17.533
- And the bigger
- 00:09:17.533 --> 00:09:19.735
- And a larger possession.
- 00:09:19.735 --> 00:09:23.639
- You don't have to worry about all that.
- 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:25.307
- One step at a time.
- 00:09:25.307 --> 00:09:27.309

- 00:09:27.309 --> 00:09:29.145

- Have you ever heard "tell it to jesus" before?

- Have you ever taken a walk and you say,
- 00:11:06.976 --> 00:11:09.578
- "god, i don't know how to pray.
- 00:11:09.578 --> 00:11:11.447
- Lord jesus, i feel you're walking with me
- 00:11:11.447 --> 00:11:13.349

- Your cares on him!

- But in your mind, the lord says, "lord, i come to you.
- 00:11:24.527 --> 00:11:28.030
- O father, i come to the... to do this prayer of...
- 00:11:28.030 --> 00:11:32.234

- This great providence and mercy."
- 00:11:43.179 --> 00:11:46.582
- And god says, "talk to me like a child."
- 00:11:46.582 --> 00:11:48.484
- So, have you done this before, all right,
- 00:11:48.484 --> 00:11:50.586
- Where you walk with the lord and you just say,
- 00:11:50.586 --> 00:11:52.321
- "lord jesus, i'm--right now my heart is full of worry.
- 00:11:52.321 --> 00:11:55.124
- Today i had some symptoms in my body,
- 00:11:55.124 --> 00:11:58.794
- And i'm concerned about it, lord.
- 00:11:58.794 --> 00:12:00.696
- I just want to tell you that, lord.
- 00:12:00.696 --> 00:12:02.031
- And, lord jesus, i'm worried about my son, lord.
- 00:12:02.031 --> 00:12:05.467
- He's getting a bit rebellious, lord.
- 00:12:05.467 --> 00:12:07.570
- Lord, i'm worried about my wife, lord.
- 00:12:07.570 --> 00:12:10.206

- Lord, i-- what i'm worried about--
- 00:12:11.540 --> 00:12:14.176
- I'm concerned about this, lord."
- 00:12:14.176 --> 00:12:15.511
- Like, don't let anyone hear it, just you and jesus, you know?
- 00:12:15.511 --> 00:12:18.147
- And i'm telling you: just talking to him--
- 00:12:18.147 --> 00:12:19.849
- I can't begin to explain to you and not--
- 00:12:19.849 --> 00:12:21.317
- Not exactly everything in those words,
- 00:12:21.317 --> 00:12:23.252
- And i'm just illustrating,
- 00:12:23.252 --> 00:12:24.720
- But the more honest you are with him--
- 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.223
- I can't explain to you.
- 00:12:27.223 --> 00:12:28.557
- Even before you ask, "lord, give me the grace,"
- 00:12:28.557 --> 00:12:30.492
- It's amazing, you know he has imparted strength to you.
- 00:12:30.492 --> 00:12:34.930
- By the end of that walk with jesus, it's like,
- 00:12:34.930 --> 00:12:39.368
- "wow, something has changed.
- 00:12:39.368 --> 00:12:41.704
- I don't know what is it.
- 00:12:41.704 --> 00:12:43.105
- I don't--i'm not so anxious and careful anymore.
- 00:12:43.105 --> 00:12:49.411
- Something happened."
- 00:12:49.411 --> 00:12:51.146
- Just tell it to jesus.
- 00:12:51.146 --> 00:12:53.048
- And then you realize he's really a friend.
- 00:12:53.048 --> 00:12:55.618
- It's not just a song.
- 00:12:55.618 --> 00:12:56.952
- ♪ what a friend we have in jesus ♪
- 00:12:56.952 --> 00:12:59.655
- Is my voice louder than his?
- 00:12:59.655 --> 00:13:01.023
- ♪ all our sins and griefs to bear ♪♪
- 00:13:01.023 --> 00:13:05.427
- It's no more of him.
- 00:13:05.427 --> 00:13:07.096
- All of a sudden, you realize "he's my friend.
- 00:13:07.096 --> 00:13:09.798
- He's a friend i can share with."
- 00:13:09.798 --> 00:13:12.268
- And no wonder prayer--you know, spending time over coffee
- 00:13:12.268 --> 00:13:15.037
- With a dear friend, hours pass,
- 00:13:15.037 --> 00:13:17.873
- And before you know it, my goodness,
- 00:13:17.873 --> 00:13:19.308
- But prayer is, like, you look at the clock.
- 00:13:19.308 --> 00:13:21.043
- You know, you hear, like, those days,
- 00:13:21.043 --> 00:13:22.378
- Remember they say one-hour prayer?
- 00:13:22.378 --> 00:13:23.712
- So you look at the clock.
- 00:13:23.712 --> 00:13:25.147
- And i remember that they used that statement
- 00:13:25.147 --> 00:13:28.450
- Or the question that jesus asked his disciples:
- 00:13:28.450 --> 00:13:30.219
- "could you not tarry one hour?"
- 00:13:30.219 --> 00:13:32.221
- Actually, he asked the disciples in the garden of gethsemane.
- 00:13:32.221 --> 00:13:35.491
- It was not a law.
- 00:13:35.491 --> 00:13:36.825
- Even a question, we twist it into a law.
- 00:13:36.825 --> 00:13:39.094
- And we say, "can't you tarry one hour?"
- 00:13:39.094 --> 00:13:41.730
- So we do our best, we put our clock, all right,
- 00:13:41.730 --> 00:13:44.199
- And then we pray, and we really, really, really pray,
- 00:13:44.199 --> 00:13:47.036
- And we really thought we prayed for a long time.
- 00:13:47.036 --> 00:13:49.138
- They look up, ten minutes. "oh my goodness!" you know?
- 00:13:49.138 --> 00:13:53.809
- Can you imagine me going to my wife and saying,
- 00:13:53.809 --> 00:13:57.313
- "all right, you've been asking me to spend time with you,
- 00:13:57.313 --> 00:13:59.448
- Communicating with you, that you--
- 00:13:59.448 --> 00:14:00.950
- You told me that communication is the lifeblood of marriage.
- 00:14:00.950 --> 00:14:03.886
- All right, baby, your time starts now"?
- 00:14:03.886 --> 00:14:05.888
- ...
- 00:14:05.888 --> 00:14:11.060
- She'll just say, "i'm going home," right, amen?
- 00:14:11.060 --> 00:14:14.496
- No, so there is a place for a prayer of faith.
- 00:14:14.496 --> 00:14:18.867
- There's a pra--there's a fa-- in fact, all this in--
- 00:14:18.867 --> 00:14:21.103
- To talk to him is faith!
- 00:14:21.103 --> 00:14:23.038
- Some of you are so strong.
- 00:14:23.038 --> 00:14:24.373
- The problem with us is that we are so strong in our flesh.
- 00:14:24.373 --> 00:14:26.608
- We...we endure things.
- 00:14:26.608 --> 00:14:29.578
- Even our family do not know what we are going through,
- 00:14:29.578 --> 00:14:31.413
- But worst of all, you don't even let jesus know.
- 00:14:31.413 --> 00:14:34.149
- Those who are strong outside-- let me tell you this--
- 00:14:34.149 --> 00:14:36.285
- They appear strong--are those who talk to jesus inside.
- 00:14:36.285 --> 00:14:41.223
- They pour out their hearts so they can be strong
- 00:14:41.223 --> 00:14:43.425
- For their families or for their loved ones.
- 00:14:43.425 --> 00:14:45.494
- And let me tell you this, people:
- 00:14:45.494 --> 00:14:46.862
- There must be a place for you to cry.
- 00:14:46.862 --> 00:14:48.397
- If you need to cry, if there's no prayer cl--
- 00:14:48.397 --> 00:14:49.732
- Cry in his presence.
- 00:14:49.732 --> 00:14:51.100
- Say, "lord jesus, can i cry?
- 00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:53.202
- Lord jesus, i--" you know?
- 00:14:53.202 --> 00:14:55.337
- Sometimes you-- but speak what's in your heart!
- 00:14:55.337 --> 00:14:57.840
- That's the best prayer of all--
- 00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:59.942
- Even "lord, i don't feel like praying!"
- 00:14:59.942 --> 00:15:01.443
- Talk to him and tell him that!
- 00:15:01.443 --> 00:15:02.945
- "lord, i don't feel like praying!
- 00:15:02.945 --> 00:15:04.279
- I don't feel like reading the bible."
- 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:06.682
- Tell him!
- 00:15:06.682 --> 00:15:08.517
- "i don't feel like talking to you."
- 00:15:08.517 --> 00:15:11.687
- [congregation laughing]
- 00:15:11.687 --> 00:15:13.489
- Tell him.
- 00:15:15.124 --> 00:15:16.825
- You'll never find him...
- 00:15:16.825 --> 00:15:25.000
- "ajumma!"
- 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.104
- You'll never find him shocked.
- 00:15:29.104 --> 00:15:32.174
- I don't know what's happening to me today but--
- 00:15:32.174 --> 00:15:33.675
- [congregation laughing]
- 00:15:33.675 --> 00:15:35.010
- But seriously, folks, we are telling you
- 00:15:35.010 --> 00:15:37.312
- How to be led by the spirit.
- 00:15:37.312 --> 00:15:39.181
- How many know when you follow the lord,
- 00:15:39.181 --> 00:15:40.649
- Health will be there, healing will be there?
- 00:15:40.649 --> 00:15:42.684
- When jesus told the man, "wash your eyes,"
- 00:15:42.684 --> 00:15:44.486
- He came back seeing.
- 00:15:44.486 --> 00:15:45.821
- You can never go wrong following the lord,
- 00:15:45.821 --> 00:15:48.657
- Amen, amen, and some of us are so legalistic
- 00:15:48.657 --> 00:15:52.094
- We make legalism out of everything--
- 00:15:52.094 --> 00:15:53.629
- Communion, prayer, everything.
- 00:15:53.629 --> 00:15:57.599
- So if you're led of by the spirit,
- 00:15:57.599 --> 00:15:58.934
- You are not under the law, okay?
- 00:15:58.934 --> 00:16:02.137
- The holy spirit is a wonderful spirit.
- 00:16:02.137 --> 00:16:03.605
- In fact, the bible says, "walk in the spirit--"
- 00:16:03.605 --> 00:16:05.908
- Show them the verse before this.
- 00:16:05.908 --> 00:16:07.543
- "i say then: walk in the spirit,
- 00:16:07.543 --> 00:16:10.779
- And you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."
- 00:16:10.779 --> 00:16:12.915
- I'll tell you how the church does it, okay?
- 00:16:12.915 --> 00:16:14.783
- Tell me whether it's true or not.
- 00:16:14.783 --> 00:16:16.118
- We don't put it in words, but this is what we do.
- 00:16:16.118 --> 00:16:19.288
- We try not to fulfill the lust of the flesh.
- 00:16:19.288 --> 00:16:21.657
- If it comes up, we suppress it.
- 00:16:21.657 --> 00:16:23.025
- "this is wrong."
- 00:16:23.025 --> 00:16:24.359
- We feel it. "wrong, wrong."
- 00:16:24.359 --> 00:16:25.794
- We're driving, we get angry...
- 00:16:25.794 --> 00:16:28.497
- We're trying to suppress it, all right?
- 00:16:28.497 --> 00:16:31.233
- We are trying not to fulfill the lust of the flesh
- 00:16:31.233 --> 00:16:33.535
- So that we can walk in the spirit, right?
- 00:16:33.535 --> 00:16:37.673
- We got the whole thing...
- 00:16:37.673 --> 00:16:42.511
- What does it say? "walk in the spirit."
- 00:16:42.511 --> 00:16:44.980
- Be led by the spirit, and you will end up
- 00:16:44.980 --> 00:16:46.982
- Not fulfilling the lust of the flesh.
- 00:16:46.982 --> 00:16:48.784
- You won't even think about it.
- 00:16:48.784 --> 00:16:50.452
- Walk in the spirit deliberate.
- 00:16:50.452 --> 00:16:51.854
- Tell the lord, all right?
- 00:16:51.854 --> 00:16:53.622
- Today or tomorrow, just tell the lord:
- 00:16:53.622 --> 00:16:54.957
- "lord, teach me how to walk by the spirit,
- 00:16:54.957 --> 00:16:56.291
- How to flow with your spirit."
- 00:16:56.291 --> 00:16:58.093
- And the spirit will never tell you
- 00:16:58.093 --> 00:16:59.461
- Things that's contrary to the scripture,
- 00:16:59.461 --> 00:17:00.929
- Never tell you to cheat someone.
- 00:17:00.929 --> 00:17:02.931
- "in this situation, it's okay to cheat.
- 00:17:02.931 --> 00:17:04.666
- In this situation, it's okay to commit adultery."
- 00:17:04.666 --> 00:17:07.035
- Never, never.
- 00:17:07.035 --> 00:17:08.871
- In fact, he'll give you the grace
- 00:17:08.871 --> 00:17:10.205
- Not to do those things.
- 00:17:10.205 --> 00:17:11.640
- He'll give you something better, amen.
- 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.977
- You're not happy about your marriage?
- 00:17:14.977 --> 00:17:16.378
- Talk to the lord.
- 00:17:16.378 --> 00:17:17.713
- You're not happy about somebody? talk to the lord.
- 00:17:17.713 --> 00:17:20.883
- You're angry at somebody? talk to the lord.
- 00:17:20.883 --> 00:17:23.252
- Hey, you can even tell the lord you're angry with him.
- 00:17:23.252 --> 00:17:27.823
- But talk to him.
- 00:17:27.823 --> 00:17:32.294
- Tell it to jesus. he cares.
- 00:17:32.294 --> 00:17:35.764
- The bible says, "casting all your cares
- 00:17:35.764 --> 00:17:37.199
- For him--upon him."
- 00:17:37.199 --> 00:17:39.201
- The reason? because he cares for you.
- 00:17:39.201 --> 00:17:42.571
- He cares for you.
- 00:17:42.571 --> 00:17:43.906
- And this wonderful holy spirit that god has given us--
- 00:17:43.906 --> 00:17:46.408
- "walk in him, and you will end up not fulfilling.
- 00:17:46.408 --> 00:17:48.844
- You shall not."
- 00:17:48.844 --> 00:17:50.179
- The "shall not" there is double negative,
- 00:17:50.179 --> 00:17:51.513
- By the way--"ou me."
- 00:17:51.513 --> 00:17:52.848
- That's a very powerful double negative.
- 00:17:52.848 --> 00:17:55.417
- You will no way in any way fulfill
- 00:17:55.417 --> 00:17:58.787
- The lust of the flesh when you walk in the spirit, hm?
- 00:17:58.787 --> 00:18:05.994
- Do you know that in the old testament,
- 00:18:05.994 --> 00:18:07.629
- The holy spirit came on the prophets,
- 00:18:07.629 --> 00:18:11.166
- The spirit of god came on samson, for example?
- 00:18:11.166 --> 00:18:15.938
- Show them judges 14.
- 00:18:15.938 --> 00:18:17.573
- "so samson went down to timnah with his father and mother,
- 00:18:17.573 --> 00:18:19.708
- And came to the vineyards of timnah.
- 00:18:19.708 --> 00:18:21.510
- Now to his surprise, the young lion
- 00:18:21.510 --> 00:18:23.045
- Came roaring against him."
- 00:18:23.045 --> 00:18:24.746
- So the young lion is a picture of the devil,
- 00:18:24.746 --> 00:18:26.181
- Right, right?
- 00:18:26.181 --> 00:18:28.050
- "and the spirit of the lord came mightily upon him,
- 00:18:28.050 --> 00:18:30.852
- And he tore the lion apart as one would have torn apart
- 00:18:30.852 --> 00:18:33.355
- A young goat, though he had nothing in his hand.
- 00:18:33.355 --> 00:18:35.924
- But he did not tell his father or his mother
- 00:18:35.924 --> 00:18:37.826
- What he had done.
- 00:18:37.826 --> 00:18:39.161
- The spirit of the lord came mightily upon him,
- 00:18:39.161 --> 00:18:40.929
- And he tore the lion apart."
- 00:18:40.929 --> 00:18:43.165
- I believe samson is not a big guy.
- 00:18:43.165 --> 00:18:44.866
- I believe samson is a scrawny guy.
- 00:18:44.866 --> 00:18:46.902
- So the glory might be god's.
- 00:18:46.902 --> 00:18:49.871
- But the spirit of god came on him.
- 00:18:49.871 --> 00:18:51.206
- You see, this word "came mightily"
- 00:18:51.206 --> 00:18:52.541
- Is one word in hebrew: "tsalach."
- 00:18:52.541 --> 00:18:55.110
- Tsalach is the word for "prosper."
- 00:18:55.110 --> 00:18:59.748
- Remember joshua 1:8?
- 00:18:59.748 --> 00:19:01.383
- "meditate on god's word." show them joshua 1:8.
- 00:19:01.383 --> 00:19:03.385
- "this book of the law shall not depart," all right?
- 00:19:03.385 --> 00:19:04.786
- You meditate on god's word day and night,
- 00:19:04.786 --> 00:19:06.355
- What's gonna happen?
- 00:19:06.355 --> 00:19:07.689
- You will make your way prosperous.
- 00:19:07.689 --> 00:19:09.291
- Hebrew word tsalach.
- 00:19:09.291 --> 00:19:11.727
- Another time in judges, it tells us of samson fighting,
- 00:19:11.727 --> 00:19:14.863
- And it says in judges 15, "when he came to lehi,
- 00:19:14.863 --> 00:19:17.065
- The philistines came shouting against him.
- 00:19:17.065 --> 00:19:19.101
- The spirit of the lord came mightily," tsalach,
- 00:19:19.101 --> 00:19:21.169
- "upon samson; and the ropes that were on his arms
- 00:19:21.169 --> 00:19:23.505
- Became like flax that's burned with fire,
- 00:19:23.505 --> 00:19:25.440
- And his bones broke loose from his hands.
- 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.242
- He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached--"
- 00:19:27.242 --> 00:19:30.045
- Right now, god is using a fresh jawbone of a donkey
- 00:19:30.045 --> 00:19:32.848
- To destroy your spiritual enemies.
- 00:19:32.848 --> 00:19:34.483
- Praise god, hee-haw, amen. come on, church.
- 00:19:34.483 --> 00:19:36.952
- "he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey,
- 00:19:36.952 --> 00:19:38.854
- Reached out his hand and took it,
- 00:19:38.854 --> 00:19:40.188
- And killed a thousand men with it."
- 00:19:40.188 --> 00:19:42.924
- The spirit of the lord came on him.
- 00:19:42.924 --> 00:19:44.493
- So whatever function it is-- a student--
- 00:19:44.493 --> 00:19:46.728
- The spirit of the lord-- but many a times
- 00:19:46.728 --> 00:19:48.764
- We ignore his presence.
- 00:19:48.764 --> 00:19:51.166
- And i'm closing but let's look at
- 00:19:51.166 --> 00:19:53.168
- What jesus says in 14-- chapter 14 of john.
- 00:19:53.168 --> 00:19:59.241
- "and i'll pray the father,
- 00:19:59.241 --> 00:20:00.575
- And he'll give you another helper,
- 00:20:00.575 --> 00:20:02.377
- That he may abide with you" how long?
- 00:20:02.377 --> 00:20:05.280
- "forever."
- 00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:06.615
- So why did he say "another helper"?
- 00:20:06.615 --> 00:20:08.050
- In the greek, there are two words for "another,"
- 00:20:08.050 --> 00:20:10.719
- All right, two main words for "another."
- 00:20:10.719 --> 00:20:12.387
- One is "heteros."
- 00:20:12.387 --> 00:20:14.790
- Heteros means another of a different kind,
- 00:20:14.790 --> 00:20:18.894
- All right?
- 00:20:18.894 --> 00:20:20.228
- "allos," allos means another of the same kind.
- 00:20:20.228 --> 00:20:23.432
- When paul says, "you are removed into another gospel--"
- 00:20:23.432 --> 00:20:27.336
- He told the galatians that they have left grace
- 00:20:27.336 --> 00:20:29.671
- Into another gospel, it's heteros, okay?
- 00:20:29.671 --> 00:20:33.308
- But here jesus says "another" is allos.
- 00:20:33.308 --> 00:20:36.845
- "i'm sending you another helper like me."
- 00:20:36.845 --> 00:20:40.282
- If i tell you right now, "hey, guys, do you have
- 00:20:40.282 --> 00:20:43.452
- Two $50 notes?" all right?
- 00:20:43.452 --> 00:20:45.554
- You say, "yes, pastor." "come here.
- 00:20:45.554 --> 00:20:46.988
- Let me give you my $100 note."
- 00:20:46.988 --> 00:20:48.890
- Have you lost anything?
- 00:20:48.890 --> 00:20:51.793
- Except for what?
- 00:20:51.793 --> 00:20:54.162
- The shape, the form, right?
- 00:20:54.162 --> 00:20:56.998
- Jesus, in his person, is going back to the father,
- 00:20:56.998 --> 00:20:59.634
- All right, in his tangible form,
- 00:20:59.634 --> 00:21:01.303
- And he says, "i'll give you another helper--" like him.
- 00:21:01.303 --> 00:21:04.639
- The way he was with the disciples--
- 00:21:04.639 --> 00:21:06.341
- All right, and the word "helper" is,
- 00:21:06.341 --> 00:21:08.677
- In the king james, "comforter"; in the greek, "para."
- 00:21:08.677 --> 00:21:12.280
- Para is always alongside, para, whatever comes after para.
- 00:21:12.280 --> 00:21:15.884
- All right? "parakletos," all right?
- 00:21:15.884 --> 00:21:18.086
- He's called alongside to help.
- 00:21:18.086 --> 00:21:19.721
- That's why you can talk to jesus.
- 00:21:19.721 --> 00:21:21.256
- You can talk to the lord,
- 00:21:21.256 --> 00:21:22.591
- And it's actually the holy spirit.
- 00:21:22.591 --> 00:21:24.025
- The greatest truth that we can receive today
- 00:21:24.025 --> 00:21:28.130
- Is that on earth today
- 00:21:28.130 --> 00:21:31.900
- The third person of the godhead is now dwelling.
- 00:21:31.900 --> 00:21:37.072
- There was a time in the old testament
- 00:21:37.072 --> 00:21:39.474
- The father was prominent.
- 00:21:39.474 --> 00:21:42.711
- Then jesus came.
- 00:21:42.711 --> 00:21:44.413
- He was literally here, in the flesh,
- 00:21:44.413 --> 00:21:46.815
- Died for our sins,
- 00:21:46.815 --> 00:21:48.150
- And then when he went back to the father,
- 00:21:48.150 --> 00:21:49.484
- He sent another helper, another standby help.
- 00:21:49.484 --> 00:21:53.889
- And the word here has the idea that--
- 00:21:53.889 --> 00:21:56.158
- Even the amplified bible,
- 00:21:56.158 --> 00:21:57.526
- They put so many words because not one word
- 00:21:57.526 --> 00:21:59.261
- Is enough to describe the helper that's beside us.
- 00:21:59.261 --> 00:22:05.066
- I'm putting "beside" because helps you to understand
- 00:22:05.066 --> 00:22:07.169
- As a friend beside you, because that's what jesus says--
- 00:22:07.169 --> 00:22:09.938
- Parakletos, which is "called alongside to help."
- 00:22:09.938 --> 00:22:14.009
- It's also expressed as advocate.
- 00:22:14.009 --> 00:22:17.913
- He knows all about where you're missing it.
- 00:22:17.913 --> 00:22:20.849
- He knows what jesus did, and he pleads your case.
- 00:22:20.849 --> 00:22:25.253
- And it's called alongside to help.
- 00:22:25.253 --> 00:22:26.922
- Many people don't think of the love of the holy spirit,
- 00:22:26.922 --> 00:22:28.590
- But you know the bible use the word
- 00:22:28.590 --> 00:22:29.925
- "the love of the spirit"?
- 00:22:29.925 --> 00:22:31.259
- You know the holy spirit loves you?
- 00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:33.895
- But the holy spirit doesn't call attention to himself.
- 00:22:33.895 --> 00:22:35.764
- He calls attention to jesus,
- 00:22:35.764 --> 00:22:37.165
- And in this upper room discourse,
- 00:22:37.165 --> 00:22:39.034
- You'll find jesus saying, "he shall glorify me."
- 00:22:39.034 --> 00:22:42.804
- Show them that verse-- "he shall glorify me."
- 00:22:42.804 --> 00:22:44.673
- "he will glorify me.
- 00:22:44.673 --> 00:22:46.007
- He will take what is mine, declare it to you."
- 00:22:46.007 --> 00:22:47.943
- Victory is coming in your life.
- 00:22:47.943 --> 00:22:49.978
- I prophesy to you, many of you. you're saying, "lord, how long?
- 00:22:49.978 --> 00:22:52.380
- How long am i having this situation with my child,
- 00:22:52.380 --> 00:22:55.350
- With my body, with--" god says, "victory is coming."
- 00:22:55.350 --> 00:22:58.887
- It's coming, it's coming.
- 00:22:58.887 --> 00:23:01.056
- I prophesy to you it's coming.
- 00:23:01.056 --> 00:23:04.159
- And that's from the spirit.
- 00:23:04.159 --> 00:23:06.228
- I know you say, "how long, lord?"
- 00:23:06.228 --> 00:23:07.562
- Just like the psalmist.
- 00:23:07.562 --> 00:23:08.897
- "how long, o lord?"
- 00:23:08.897 --> 00:23:10.232
- "how long will my tears wet my couch?" david says.
- 00:23:10.232 --> 00:23:12.200
- "how long?"
- 00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:13.535
- When the lord brings victory, it'll be speedily.
- 00:23:13.535 --> 00:23:15.971
- Jesus actually said, "i don't leave you comfortless.
- 00:23:15.971 --> 00:23:19.307
- I'll send another helper.
- 00:23:19.307 --> 00:23:21.910
- I'll send another comforter."
- 00:23:21.910 --> 00:23:24.446
- In the hebrew, "menachem."
- 00:23:24.446 --> 00:23:26.715
- "i'll send another menachem, comforter."
- 00:23:26.715 --> 00:23:29.618
- It's a beautiful word.
- 00:23:29.618 --> 00:23:31.086
- The holy spirit is like the way a mother loves a child.
- 00:23:31.086 --> 00:23:34.856
- Of course, it's beyond human love,
- 00:23:34.856 --> 00:23:37.292
- But he loves you.
- 00:23:37.292 --> 00:23:39.461
- When peter preached in cornelius's house--
- 00:23:39.461 --> 00:23:42.864
- I must show you this, and then i'll close, okay?
- 00:23:42.864 --> 00:23:44.866
- All right, the bible says, "while peter was still speaking
- 00:23:44.866 --> 00:23:47.068
- These words, the holy spirit fell--"
- 00:23:47.068 --> 00:23:48.870
- The word "fell" is embrace-- "fell upon all those who heard."
- 00:23:48.870 --> 00:23:53.041
- It's the same word used of the prodigal son's father.
- 00:23:53.041 --> 00:23:55.143
- When the son came home, the same greek word is used.
- 00:23:55.143 --> 00:23:57.579
- The father gave him a bear hug.
- 00:23:57.579 --> 00:24:01.249
- And what was the word that peter was speaking?
- 00:24:01.249 --> 00:24:04.119
- Look at the context.
- 00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:05.754
- He was saying, "to jesus all the prophets witness that,
- 00:24:05.754 --> 00:24:08.957
- Through his name--"
- 00:24:08.957 --> 00:24:10.525
- I want to tell all those of you who are here without christ,
- 00:24:10.525 --> 00:24:12.994
- Without god, without hope.
- 00:24:12.994 --> 00:24:14.796
- Let me tell you this: "through his--through his name,
- 00:24:14.796 --> 00:24:18.767
- Whoever believes in jesus will receive remission of sins,"
- 00:24:18.767 --> 00:24:23.872
- Forgiveness, the sending away of sins,
- 00:24:23.872 --> 00:24:26.775
- As though sin never was.
- 00:24:26.775 --> 00:24:29.277
- You're gonna receive it.
- 00:24:29.277 --> 00:24:30.979
- So when the people heard it,
- 00:24:30.979 --> 00:24:32.314
- The holy spirit gave them all a hug.
- 00:24:32.314 --> 00:24:35.250
- And you know what happened to them?
- 00:24:35.250 --> 00:24:36.585
- They started speaking in tongues, overflow.
- 00:24:36.585 --> 00:24:39.688
- We make it so legalistic. it's all about love.
- 00:24:39.688 --> 00:24:42.524
- Even praying in tongues is the response of love.
- 00:24:42.524 --> 00:24:46.828
- God knows what you're going through.
- 00:24:46.828 --> 00:24:48.163
- He knows all the fears and the worries in your hearts,
- 00:24:48.163 --> 00:24:50.465
- And the holy spirit knows it.
- 00:24:50.465 --> 00:24:52.233
- Will you tell it to jesus, amen?
- 00:24:52.233 --> 00:24:54.836
- Can't wait right now, right now for me to stop preaching
- 00:24:54.836 --> 00:24:56.638
- And go somewhere and talk, be alone with jesus, all right?
- 00:24:56.638 --> 00:24:59.741
- Don't bring your best friend along.
- 00:24:59.741 --> 00:25:01.076
- Don't bring your--you know?
- 00:25:01.076 --> 00:25:02.410
- Because these are very personal things you're gonna talk about.
- 00:25:02.410 --> 00:25:04.713
- Whatever bondage, whatever fears,
- 00:25:04.713 --> 00:25:06.281
- Whatever worries-- say it, say it.
- 00:25:06.281 --> 00:25:07.949
- As much as you can, say it out.
- 00:25:07.949 --> 00:25:09.384
- Say it out of your heart
- 00:25:09.384 --> 00:25:10.752
- Until your heart is completely released from it.
- 00:25:10.752 --> 00:25:15.056
- You don't even have to ask him!
- 00:25:15.056 --> 00:25:16.891
- "give me your power, give me your grace,
- 00:25:16.891 --> 00:25:18.393
- Give me your--" don't even-- just talk to him, just pour out!
- 00:25:18.393 --> 00:25:20.795
- I'm talking about pouring out your heart to him.
- 00:25:20.795 --> 00:25:23.331
- And see what a friend he is.
- 00:25:23.331 --> 00:25:25.400
