  • But it is--you know, people who describe themselves
  • 00:02:18.414 --> 00:02:19.882
  • People who describe themselves as having depression, it's like
  • 00:02:19.949 --> 00:02:21.985
  • As having depression, it's like the world becomes dark.
  • 00:02:22.051 --> 00:02:25.121
  • The world becomes dark. it's like they step
  • 00:02:25.188 --> 00:02:25.688
  • It's like they step into a room--it's a bright room,
  • 00:02:25.755 --> 00:02:27.023
  • Into a room--it's a bright room, but all of a sudden the room
  • 00:02:27.090 --> 00:02:27.957
  • But all of a sudden the room becomes--it's like nighttime.
  • 00:02:28.024 --> 00:02:30.126
  • Becomes--it's like nighttime. that's how they describe it.
  • 00:02:30.193 --> 00:02:31.995
  • That's how they describe it. they're suffering
  • 00:02:32.061 --> 00:02:32.495
  • They're suffering from depression.
  • 00:02:32.562 --> 00:02:33.096
  • From depression. well, you say, "pastor prince,
  • 00:02:33.162 --> 00:02:33.930
  • Well, you say, "pastor prince, this is not relevant to me.
  • 00:02:33.997 --> 00:02:34.831
  • This is not relevant to me. i don't suffer from depression."
  • 00:02:34.897 --> 00:02:35.965
  • I don't suffer from depression." listen, all of us at certain
  • 00:02:36.032 --> 00:02:38.034
  • Listen, all of us at certain times in our life experience
  • 00:02:38.101 --> 00:02:40.169
  • Times in our life experience a certain measure
  • 00:02:40.236 --> 00:02:41.037
  • A certain measure of depression.
  • 00:02:41.104 --> 00:02:42.705
  • Of depression. why?
  • 00:02:42.772 --> 00:02:43.206
  • Why? if you're a believer,
  • 00:02:43.273 --> 00:02:43.806
  • If you're a believer, you're under attack.
  • 00:02:43.873 --> 00:02:45.708
  • You're under attack. that's why you need to put
  • 00:02:45.775 --> 00:02:46.509
  • That's why you need to put on the armor of god
  • 00:02:46.576 --> 00:02:47.977
  • On the armor of god and the helmet of salvation.
  • 00:02:48.044 --> 00:02:50.013
  • And the helmet of salvation. if you don't watch it,
  • 00:02:50.079 --> 00:02:51.047
  • If you don't watch it, this depression can become
  • 00:02:51.114 --> 00:02:52.915
  • This depression can become what isaiah says.
  • 00:02:52.982 --> 00:02:54.917
  • What isaiah says. gross darkness covers
  • 00:02:54.984 --> 00:02:56.319
  • Gross darkness covers the people.
  • 00:02:56.386 --> 00:02:57.387
  • The people. gross means heavy, heavy almost
  • 00:02:57.453 --> 00:03:00.657
  • Gross means heavy, heavy almost to the point that you can feel
  • 00:03:00.723 --> 00:03:01.591
  • To the point that you can feel it, and this is bad because i
  • 00:03:01.658 --> 00:03:03.893
  • It, and this is bad because i tell you what's going to happen.

  • 00:03:05.628 --> 00:03:06.562
  • I believe there's a revelation here from the lord,
  • 00:03:06.629 --> 00:03:08.131

  • Negative--negativities and pessimism and worries
  • 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.441
  • And pessimism and worries and anxieties that formulate

  • It's deadly, and until we see it's deadly, we'll not try to do
  • 00:03:29.452 --> 00:03:31.754
  • It's deadly, we'll not try to do anything about it, all right?
  • 00:03:31.821 --> 00:03:33.790
  • Anything about it, all right? medication deals with
  • 00:03:33.856 --> 00:03:35.091
  • Medication deals with the results--i mean the symptoms
  • 00:03:35.158 --> 00:03:40.897
  • The results--i mean the symptoms usually but doesn't deal
  • 00:03:40.963 --> 00:03:42.732
  • Usually but doesn't deal with the root.
  • 00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:45.735
  • With the root. if you are on medication,
  • 00:03:45.802 --> 00:03:46.636

  • Get depressed. they shut themselves in the room
  • 00:04:01.351 --> 00:04:03.453
  • They shut themselves in the room and all kinds of movies are
  • 00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:07.123
  • And all kinds of movies are playing in their mind that are
  • 00:04:07.190 --> 00:04:08.291

  • What is happening? well, it's dangerous
  • 00:04:15.598 --> 00:04:16.432
  • Well, it's dangerous because long before the devil
  • 00:04:16.499 --> 00:04:18.134
  • Because long before the devil try to produce a disease
  • 00:04:18.201 --> 00:04:19.369
  • Try to produce a disease or sickness in your life,
  • 00:04:19.435 --> 00:04:20.903
  • Or sickness in your life, you know what he does?
  • 00:04:20.970 --> 00:04:21.571
  • You know what he does? he produces depression,
  • 00:04:21.637 --> 00:04:24.841
  • He produces depression, sorrow of the world.
  • 00:04:24.907 --> 00:04:27.410
  • Sorrow of the world. it's called sorrow of the world.
  • 00:04:27.477 --> 00:04:28.811
  • It's called sorrow of the world. in 2 corinthians 7, verse 10, it
  • 00:04:28.878 --> 00:04:30.680
  • In 2 corinthians 7, verse 10, it says, "godly sorrow produces
  • 00:04:30.747 --> 00:04:32.849
  • Says, "godly sorrow produces repentance leading
  • 00:04:32.915 --> 00:04:33.783
  • Repentance leading to salvation."
  • 00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:34.450
  • To salvation." now, paul is writing
  • 00:04:34.517 --> 00:04:35.184
  • Now, paul is writing to christians, corinthians.
  • 00:04:35.251 --> 00:04:36.719
  • To christians, corinthians. so this salvation here
  • 00:04:36.786 --> 00:04:37.854
  • So this salvation here is not salvation from hell.
  • 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:39.055
  • Is not salvation from hell. he's not telling them
  • 00:04:39.122 --> 00:04:39.756
  • He's not telling them to be saved.
  • 00:04:39.822 --> 00:04:40.690
  • To be saved. don't forget the word salvation
  • 00:04:40.757 --> 00:04:41.858
  • Don't forget the word salvation is an all-inclusive word.
  • 00:04:41.924 --> 00:04:44.227
  • Is an all-inclusive word. it's not just salvation from
  • 00:04:44.293 --> 00:04:45.728
  • It's not just salvation from hell, all right, being saved
  • 00:04:45.795 --> 00:04:47.196
  • Hell, all right, being saved from eternal punishment, all
  • 00:04:47.263 --> 00:04:48.865
  • From eternal punishment, all right, saved from the kingdom
  • 00:04:48.931 --> 00:04:50.566
  • Right, saved from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom
  • 00:04:50.633 --> 00:04:51.667
  • Of darkness into the kingdom of light.
  • 00:04:51.734 --> 00:04:52.335
  • Of light. it's also a word they used
  • 00:04:52.402 --> 00:04:53.770
  • It's also a word they used for healing.
  • 00:04:53.836 --> 00:04:54.537
  • For healing. for example, when jesus healed
  • 00:04:54.604 --> 00:04:55.905
  • For example, when jesus healed someone, he'll say--he said,
  • 00:04:55.972 --> 00:04:57.607
  • Someone, he'll say--he said, "your faith has saved you."
  • 00:04:57.673 --> 00:04:59.375
  • "your faith has saved you." the woman with the issue
  • 00:04:59.442 --> 00:05:00.042
  • The woman with the issue of blood, remember?
  • 00:05:00.109 --> 00:05:00.977
  • Of blood, remember? look at the word saved.
  • 00:05:01.043 --> 00:05:02.178
  • Look at the word saved. it's from the word salvation,
  • 00:05:02.245 --> 00:05:03.379
  • It's from the word salvation, sozo.
  • 00:05:03.446 --> 00:05:04.514
  • Sozo. amen?
  • 00:05:04.580 --> 00:05:05.114
  • Amen? many a times the healings
  • 00:05:05.181 --> 00:05:06.249
  • Many a times the healings that happen in new testament
  • 00:05:06.315 --> 00:05:07.583
  • That happen in new testament is physical healing,
  • 00:05:07.650 --> 00:05:08.518
  • Is physical healing, but the word salvation or sozo,
  • 00:05:08.584 --> 00:05:10.620
  • But the word salvation or sozo, the verb form, is used.
  • 00:05:10.686 --> 00:05:12.789
  • The verb form, is used. so it's telling you godly sorrow
  • 00:05:12.855 --> 00:05:15.224
  • So it's telling you godly sorrow actually leads you to wholeness,
  • 00:05:15.291 --> 00:05:18.828
  • Actually leads you to wholeness, leads you to peace of mind,
  • 00:05:18.895 --> 00:05:20.530
  • Leads you to peace of mind, leads you--so it's a godly
  • 00:05:20.596 --> 00:05:21.898
  • Leads you--so it's a godly sorrow that produces
  • 00:05:21.964 --> 00:05:23.132
  • Sorrow that produces that change of mind.
  • 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.334
  • That change of mind. "but sorrow of the world
  • 00:05:25.401 --> 00:05:27.437
  • "but sorrow of the world produces death."
  • 00:05:27.503 --> 00:05:28.838
  • Produces death." you see that?
  • 00:05:28.905 --> 00:05:29.939
  • You see that? the bible says it
  • 00:05:30.006 --> 00:05:30.506
  • The bible says it produces death.
  • 00:05:30.573 --> 00:05:31.307
  • Produces death. you better take it seriously.
  • 00:05:31.374 --> 00:05:34.177
  • You better take it seriously. sorrow of the world works death.
  • 00:05:34.243 --> 00:05:36.212
  • Sorrow of the world works death. this is serious business.
  • 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.014
  • This is serious business. but then jesus--listen, jesus at
  • 00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:39.949
  • But then jesus--listen, jesus at the cross--isaiah 53, verse 4,
  • 00:05:40.016 --> 00:05:44.454
  • The cross--isaiah 53, verse 4, "surely he has borne our griefs
  • 00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:45.922
  • "surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows."
  • 00:05:45.988 --> 00:05:47.290
  • And carried our sorrows." now, this is interesting.
  • 00:05:47.356 --> 00:05:48.324
  • Now, this is interesting. king james version says he
  • 00:05:48.391 --> 00:05:49.459
  • King james version says he carried our griefs.
  • 00:05:49.525 --> 00:05:50.660
  • Carried our griefs. i got to bring this to a close
  • 00:05:50.726 --> 00:05:51.727
  • I got to bring this to a close already, all right?
  • 00:05:51.794 --> 00:05:52.995
  • Already, all right? because i'm just starting.
  • 00:05:53.062 --> 00:05:55.665
  • Because i'm just starting. you want some more,
  • 00:05:55.731 --> 00:05:56.432
  • You want some more, you keep on coming.
  • 00:05:56.499 --> 00:05:57.099
  • You keep on coming. amen?
  • 00:05:57.166 --> 00:05:58.167
  • Amen? "surely he bore our griefs
  • 00:05:58.234 --> 00:06:00.169
  • "surely he bore our griefs and carried our sorrows."
  • 00:06:00.236 --> 00:06:01.103
  • And carried our sorrows." can you see that?
  • 00:06:01.170 --> 00:06:03.206
  • Can you see that? can you see that?
  • 00:06:03.272 --> 00:06:04.006
  • Can you see that? king james version,
  • 00:06:04.073 --> 00:06:04.974
  • King james version, new king james--many translation
  • 00:06:05.041 --> 00:06:06.175
  • New king james--many translation actually say griefs and sorrows.
  • 00:06:06.242 --> 00:06:07.643
  • Actually say griefs and sorrows. but actually in the hebrew
  • 00:06:07.710 --> 00:06:11.581
  • But actually in the hebrew the word there should be choli
  • 00:06:11.647 --> 00:06:13.749
  • The word there should be choli for griefs; sorrows, makov
  • 00:06:13.816 --> 00:06:16.319
  • For griefs; sorrows, makov and--listen, choli can be used
  • 00:06:16.385 --> 00:06:19.555
  • And--listen, choli can be used for griefs, but most
  • 00:06:19.622 --> 00:06:21.657
  • For griefs, but most of the time--like 12 times choli
  • 00:06:21.724 --> 00:06:25.828
  • Of the time--like 12 times choli is used for sicknesses,
  • 00:06:25.895 --> 00:06:29.298
  • Is used for sicknesses, 5 times for diseases,
  • 00:06:29.365 --> 00:06:33.302
  • 5 times for diseases, only 4 times for griefs.
  • 00:06:33.369 --> 00:06:36.105
  • Only 4 times for griefs. so you see the emphasis, right?
  • 00:06:36.172 --> 00:06:38.341
  • So you see the emphasis, right? and then the word makov--
  • 00:06:38.407 --> 00:06:39.242
  • And then the word makov-- carried our sorrows.
  • 00:06:39.308 --> 00:06:40.142
  • Carried our sorrows. makov is sorrow, and, again,
  • 00:06:40.209 --> 00:06:43.045
  • Makov is sorrow, and, again, most of the time the word
  • 00:06:43.112 --> 00:06:44.614
  • Most of the time the word is used for diseases.
  • 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.415
  • Is used for diseases. is there sorrow?
  • 00:06:46.482 --> 00:06:47.250
  • Is there sorrow? yes, there is sorrow.
  • 00:06:47.316 --> 00:06:48.117
  • Yes, there is sorrow. but when do you--how do you know
  • 00:06:48.184 --> 00:06:49.919
  • But when do you--how do you know then that jesus carried
  • 00:06:49.986 --> 00:06:51.187
  • Then that jesus carried our diseases and our pains?
  • 00:06:51.254 --> 00:06:53.089
  • Our diseases and our pains? first of all, i'll show you
  • 00:06:53.155 --> 00:06:53.990
  • First of all, i'll show you young's translation.
  • 00:06:54.056 --> 00:06:54.957
  • Young's translation. young's is a hebrew scholar.
  • 00:06:55.024 --> 00:06:56.125
  • Young's is a hebrew scholar. young's says, "surely
  • 00:06:56.192 --> 00:06:57.293
  • Young's says, "surely our sicknesses he has borne, and
  • 00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.395
  • Our sicknesses he has borne, and our pains he has carried them."
  • 00:06:59.462 --> 00:07:01.297
  • Our pains he has carried them." so you see it's not our sorrows.
  • 00:07:01.364 --> 00:07:02.765
  • So you see it's not our sorrows. it is actually our pains
  • 00:07:02.832 --> 00:07:04.433
  • It is actually our pains and our disease.
  • 00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:06.335
  • And our disease. and if that is not enough--
  • 00:07:06.402 --> 00:07:08.137
  • And if that is not enough-- bible interpret bible.
  • 00:07:08.204 --> 00:07:09.372
  • Bible interpret bible. in the new testament in
  • 00:07:09.438 --> 00:07:11.107
  • In the new testament in reference to this, it says that
  • 00:07:11.173 --> 00:07:12.708
  • Reference to this, it says that jesus went around--show them
  • 00:07:12.775 --> 00:07:14.977
  • Jesus went around--show them the context first.
  • 00:07:15.044 --> 00:07:16.012
  • The context first. it's referring to jesus
  • 00:07:16.078 --> 00:07:17.046
  • It's referring to jesus casting out demons.
  • 00:07:17.113 --> 00:07:17.813
  • Casting out demons. verse 16, all right, "he--
  • 00:07:17.880 --> 00:07:19.916
  • Verse 16, all right, "he-- they brought to him many
  • 00:07:19.982 --> 00:07:20.683
  • They brought to him many who were demon-possessed.
  • 00:07:20.750 --> 00:07:21.517
  • Who were demon-possessed. he cast out the spirits with a
  • 00:07:21.584 --> 00:07:22.685
  • He cast out the spirits with a word, healed all who were sick,"
  • 00:07:22.752 --> 00:07:25.087
  • Word, healed all who were sick," heal all, people, who were sick,
  • 00:07:25.154 --> 00:07:27.757
  • Heal all, people, who were sick, "that it might be fulfilled
  • 00:07:27.823 --> 00:07:28.724
  • "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by isaiah
  • 00:07:28.791 --> 00:07:29.825
  • Which was spoken by isaiah the prophet, saying:
  • 00:07:29.892 --> 00:07:30.560
  • The prophet, saying: 'he himself took our infirmities
  • 00:07:30.626 --> 00:07:33.529
  • 'he himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses."'
  • 00:07:33.596 --> 00:07:36.732
  • And bore our sicknesses."' do you see that?
  • 00:07:36.799 --> 00:07:38.868
  • Do you see that? so this is in greek.
  • 00:07:38.935 --> 00:07:39.835
  • So this is in greek. very clear the context
  • 00:07:39.902 --> 00:07:42.605
  • Very clear the context is not--the context tells you
  • 00:07:42.672 --> 00:07:44.507
  • Is not--the context tells you it's not sorrows.
  • 00:07:44.574 --> 00:07:45.308
  • It's not sorrows. it's referring to he carried
  • 00:07:45.374 --> 00:07:47.076
  • It's referring to he carried our diseases because he's--
  • 00:07:47.143 --> 00:07:50.846
  • Our diseases because he's-- when he went around healing
  • 00:07:50.913 --> 00:07:52.081
  • When he went around healing all who were
  • 00:07:52.148 --> 00:07:52.582
  • All who were sick, it's like paying he--
  • 00:07:52.648 --> 00:07:54.584
  • Sick, it's like paying he-- paying through, like, visa.
  • 00:07:54.650 --> 00:07:56.619
  • Paying through, like, visa. he has not yet died,
  • 00:07:56.686 --> 00:07:58.220
  • He has not yet died, but he--whenever someone
  • 00:07:58.287 --> 00:08:00.790
  • But he--whenever someone gets healed and they go away,
  • 00:08:00.856 --> 00:08:02.358
  • Gets healed and they go away, jesus says, like, to the father,
  • 00:08:02.425 --> 00:08:03.993
  • Jesus says, like, to the father, "put that on my tab."
  • 00:08:04.060 --> 00:08:07.330
  • "put that on my tab." he will pay for it at the cross.
  • 00:08:07.396 --> 00:08:10.766
  • He will pay for it at the cross. amen?
  • 00:08:10.833 --> 00:08:11.834
  • Amen? so the context is very clear,
  • 00:08:11.901 --> 00:08:13.002
  • So the context is very clear, but what it tells me is this.
  • 00:08:13.069 --> 00:08:15.004
  • But what it tells me is this. the hebrew word for choli
  • 00:08:15.071 --> 00:08:17.173
  • The hebrew word for choli and makov is also grief
  • 00:08:17.239 --> 00:08:19.375
  • And makov is also grief and sorrow, and therefore it is
  • 00:08:19.442 --> 00:08:22.411
  • And sorrow, and therefore it is in the disease.
  • 00:08:22.478 --> 00:08:25.948
  • In the disease. could it be the very thing
  • 00:08:26.015 --> 00:08:27.483
  • Could it be the very thing since it's the--the etymology
  • 00:08:27.550 --> 00:08:29.518
  • Since it's the--the etymology is there, the--is also the root
  • 00:08:29.585 --> 00:08:31.887
  • Is there, the--is also the root of disease, grief and sorrow.
  • 00:08:31.954 --> 00:08:36.792
  • Of disease, grief and sorrow. it should not be prolonged
  • 00:08:36.859 --> 00:08:37.927
  • It should not be prolonged in your life, and that's
  • 00:08:37.994 --> 00:08:38.961
  • In your life, and that's why the lord says the joy
  • 00:08:39.028 --> 00:08:39.996
  • Why the lord says the joy of the lord is our strength.
  • 00:08:40.062 --> 00:08:42.865
  • Of the lord is our strength. amen.
  • 00:08:42.932 --> 00:08:44.433
  • Amen. you see, if i say the joy of the
  • 00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:45.635
  • You see, if i say the joy of the lord is my strength, listen, the
  • 00:08:45.701 --> 00:08:47.803
  • Lord is my strength, listen, the joy of the lord is my strength,
  • 00:08:47.870 --> 00:08:49.038
  • Joy of the lord is my strength, that means the joy of the lord.
  • 00:08:49.105 --> 00:08:50.973
  • That means the joy of the lord. the lord has joy.
  • 00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:52.642
  • The lord has joy. "you know, i don't believe
  • 00:08:52.708 --> 00:08:53.643
  • "you know, i don't believe in this jesus that walks around
  • 00:08:53.709 --> 00:08:55.344
  • In this jesus that walks around with a face so morose."
  • 00:08:55.411 --> 00:08:57.980
  • With a face so morose." "peace, be still.
  • 00:08:58.047 --> 00:09:01.050
  • "peace, be still. why is it you don't have faith?
  • 00:09:01.117 --> 00:09:03.686
  • Why is it you don't have faith? bring him to me."
  • 00:09:03.753 --> 00:09:05.821
  • Bring him to me." then on the night
  • 00:09:05.888 --> 00:09:06.889
  • Then on the night in the upper room,
  • 00:09:06.956 --> 00:09:07.423
  • In the upper room, in the upper room,
  • 00:09:07.490 --> 00:09:08.491
  • In the upper room, "these things
  • 00:09:08.557 --> 00:09:09.025
  • "these things i say to you, that my joy,

  • I say to you, that my joy, my joy, bartholomew,

  • My joy, bartholomew, my joy, thomas,

  • My joy, thomas, might remain in you."
  • 00:09:21.003 --> 00:09:23.806
  • Might remain in you." and thomas says, "i doubt so,"
  • 00:09:23.873 --> 00:09:27.510
  • And thomas says, "i doubt so," you know.
  • 00:09:27.576 --> 00:09:28.044
  • You know. so you won't--no.

  • So you won't--no. he came to them and says, "guys,

  • He came to them and says, "guys, in the world you will have

  • In the world you will have trouble, but be of good cheer.

  • Trouble, but be of good cheer. i have overcome the world."
  • 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.089
  • I have overcome the world." i believe he did it
  • 00:09:40.156 --> 00:09:40.756
  • I believe he did it with a smile.
  • 00:09:40.823 --> 00:09:41.991
  • With a smile. "and these things i say

  • Where he was. can you imagine the holy--
  • 00:15:23.365 --> 00:15:25.134
  • Can you imagine the holy-- the son of god?
  • 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:26.502
  • The son of god? his nature is holy, all right?
  • 00:15:26.568 --> 00:15:29.338
  • His nature is holy, all right? he's full of grace, and that's
  • 00:15:29.405 --> 00:15:31.240
  • He's full of grace, and that's why his holiness is not like,
  • 00:15:31.306 --> 00:15:33.075
  • Why his holiness is not like, "i stand here, okay?
  • 00:15:33.142 --> 00:15:34.810
  • "i stand here, okay? i'm too holy for you
  • 00:15:34.877 --> 00:15:35.811
  • I'm too holy for you to come near or to touch."
  • 00:15:35.878 --> 00:15:37.679
  • To come near or to touch." no, no, no.
  • 00:15:37.746 --> 00:15:38.447
  • No, no, no. his holiness has sinners
  • 00:15:38.514 --> 00:15:39.581
  • His holiness has sinners around him, amen, yet he
  • 00:15:39.648 --> 00:15:42.184
  • Around him, amen, yet he never was defiled by them.
  • 00:15:42.251 --> 00:15:44.386
  • Never was defiled by them. they were touched by him, amen,
  • 00:15:44.453 --> 00:15:47.556
  • They were touched by him, amen, into wholeness, into holiness.
  • 00:15:47.623 --> 00:15:51.894
  • Into wholeness, into holiness. but here jesus took our sorrows.
  • 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:58.267
  • But here jesus took our sorrows. he felt the pain of it,
  • 00:15:58.333 --> 00:15:59.501
  • He felt the pain of it, the weight of it.
  • 00:15:59.568 --> 00:16:00.335
  • The weight of it. but especially if you are
  • 00:16:00.402 --> 00:16:02.137
  • But especially if you are jesus--we can't imagine because
  • 00:16:02.204 --> 00:16:04.440
  • Jesus--we can't imagine because all of us, our minds
  • 00:16:04.506 --> 00:16:05.374
  • All of us, our minds are defiled, dirty
  • 00:16:05.441 --> 00:16:06.775
  • Are defiled, dirty and we think it's natural.
  • 00:16:06.842 --> 00:16:08.177
  • And we think it's natural. for the son of god, he never
  • 00:16:08.243 --> 00:16:09.645
  • For the son of god, he never experienced sin one time.
  • 00:16:09.711 --> 00:16:12.781
  • Experienced sin one time. the very thought of sin he
  • 00:16:12.848 --> 00:16:14.383
  • The very thought of sin he shudders.
  • 00:16:14.450 --> 00:16:15.684
  • Shudders. it's not in his nature.
  • 00:16:15.751 --> 00:16:18.620
  • It's not in his nature. but to think that's--just
  • 00:16:18.687 --> 00:16:20.556
  • But to think that's--just the contemplation that in a few
  • 00:16:20.622 --> 00:16:22.424
  • The contemplation that in a few hours he'll be on the cross,
  • 00:16:22.491 --> 00:16:24.760
  • Hours he'll be on the cross, and he who knew no sin
  • 00:16:24.827 --> 00:16:27.262
  • And he who knew no sin will be made sin with our sin.
  • 00:16:27.329 --> 00:16:31.900
  • Will be made sin with our sin. not just carry our sins,
  • 00:16:31.967 --> 00:16:33.735
  • Not just carry our sins, be made sin at the cross.
  • 00:16:33.802 --> 00:16:40.375
  • Be made sin at the cross. that thought is like a holy
  • 00:16:40.442 --> 00:16:45.013
  • That thought is like a holy shock reverberated through
  • 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.117
  • Shock reverberated through his body, his whole being.
  • 00:16:48.183 --> 00:16:50.385
  • His body, his whole being. it's like--almost like he take
  • 00:16:50.452 --> 00:16:52.087
  • It's like--almost like he take the cup, the cup that symbolized
  • 00:16:52.154 --> 00:16:53.755
  • The cup, the cup that symbolized all the judgment
  • 00:16:53.822 --> 00:16:54.990
  • All the judgment and the condemnation,
  • 00:16:55.057 --> 00:16:56.391
  • And the condemnation, all our uncleanness
  • 00:16:56.458 --> 00:16:57.259
  • All our uncleanness and all that.
  • 00:16:57.326 --> 00:16:57.793
  • And all that. he pushed it aside.
  • 00:16:57.860 --> 00:16:58.460
  • He pushed it aside. "father, if it's possible,
  • 00:16:58.527 --> 00:16:59.461
  • "father, if it's possible, take this cup from me."
  • 00:16:59.528 --> 00:17:01.497
  • Take this cup from me." the book of hebrews, he cried
  • 00:17:01.563 --> 00:17:03.232
  • The book of hebrews, he cried with strong crying because you
  • 00:17:03.298 --> 00:17:05.801
  • With strong crying because you should know the nature
  • 00:17:05.868 --> 00:17:08.103
  • Should know the nature of our lord jesus.
  • 00:17:08.170 --> 00:17:10.272
  • Of our lord jesus. but he saw you.
  • 00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:11.974
  • But he saw you. he saw you, he saw you,
  • 00:17:12.040 --> 00:17:15.144
  • He saw you, he saw you, he saw you, he saw you.
  • 00:17:15.210 --> 00:17:18.547
  • He saw you, he saw you. he saw me and he--"father,
  • 00:17:18.614 --> 00:17:22.217
  • He saw me and he--"father, if it's not possible,
  • 00:17:22.284 --> 00:17:23.051
  • If it's not possible, there's no other way,
  • 00:17:23.118 --> 00:17:24.553
  • There's no other way, not my will,
  • 00:17:24.620 --> 00:17:26.522
  • Not my will, but your will be done."
  • 00:17:26.588 --> 00:17:28.290
  • But your will be done." and he drank it
  • 00:17:28.357 --> 00:17:29.091
  • And he drank it to this very dregs.
  • 00:17:29.158 --> 00:17:33.662
  • To this very dregs. amen.
  • 00:17:33.729 --> 00:17:34.997
  • Amen. that's the love that he has
  • 00:17:35.063 --> 00:17:36.899
  • That's the love that he has for us.
  • 00:17:36.965 --> 00:17:38.200
  • For us. so he bore it in his own being.
  • 00:17:38.267 --> 00:17:41.703
  • So he bore it in his own being. do you know that this is
  • 00:17:41.770 --> 00:17:42.971
  • Do you know that this is the reason why the old testament
  • 00:17:43.038 --> 00:17:44.540
  • The reason why the old testament people were freed
  • 00:17:44.606 --> 00:17:45.374
  • People were freed from depression and all that?
  • 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.442
  • From depression and all that? you all know the story, right?
  • 00:17:47.509 --> 00:17:48.677
  • You all know the story, right? you heard in the camp recently
  • 00:17:48.744 --> 00:17:50.179
  • You heard in the camp recently also, for those of you who were
  • 00:17:50.245 --> 00:17:51.446
  • Also, for those of you who were at camp, about the deliverance
  • 00:17:51.513 --> 00:17:53.515
  • At camp, about the deliverance of the evil spirit
  • 00:17:53.582 --> 00:17:55.184
  • Of the evil spirit through worship, right?
  • 00:17:55.250 --> 00:17:57.619
  • Through worship, right? but if you look at the word
  • 00:17:57.686 --> 00:17:58.987
  • But if you look at the word of the evil spirit coming
  • 00:17:59.054 --> 00:17:59.988
  • Of the evil spirit coming on king saul--by the way, they
  • 00:18:00.055 --> 00:18:01.757
  • On king saul--by the way, they say the evil spirit from god.
  • 00:18:01.823 --> 00:18:03.125
  • Say the evil spirit from god. that's an expression
  • 00:18:03.192 --> 00:18:03.926
  • That's an expression in hebraism.
  • 00:18:03.992 --> 00:18:05.527
  • In hebraism. okay, listen carefully.
  • 00:18:05.594 --> 00:18:06.228
  • Okay, listen carefully. in hebraism, they say even
  • 00:18:06.295 --> 00:18:08.063
  • In hebraism, they say even bad things from god because they
  • 00:18:08.130 --> 00:18:09.932
  • Bad things from god because they show god as sovereign,
  • 00:18:09.998 --> 00:18:11.533
  • Show god as sovereign, but not the one initiating it
  • 00:18:11.600 --> 00:18:14.403
  • But not the one initiating it but allowing it to happen
  • 00:18:14.469 --> 00:18:15.804
  • But allowing it to happen because of man's sin, okay?
  • 00:18:15.871 --> 00:18:18.040
  • Because of man's sin, okay? that is always hebraism
  • 00:18:18.106 --> 00:18:19.841
  • That is always hebraism when they say it's from god.
  • 00:18:19.908 --> 00:18:20.809
  • When they say it's from god. it's not from god, okay?
  • 00:18:20.876 --> 00:18:22.945
  • It's not from god, okay? it's from the devil,
  • 00:18:23.011 --> 00:18:24.179
  • It's from the devil, but god allowed it.
  • 00:18:24.246 --> 00:18:26.348
  • But god allowed it. so they see god as sovereign,
  • 00:18:26.415 --> 00:18:28.417
  • So they see god as sovereign, okay?
  • 00:18:28.483 --> 00:18:28.917
  • Okay? that's how the people--
  • 00:18:28.984 --> 00:18:30.319
  • That's how the people-- the semitic people speak.
  • 00:18:30.385 --> 00:18:32.754
  • The semitic people speak. one day i'll teach on this,
  • 00:18:32.821 --> 00:18:34.189
  • One day i'll teach on this, how when the bible says the lord
  • 00:18:34.256 --> 00:18:35.123
  • How when the bible says the lord will cause this pestilence on
  • 00:18:35.190 --> 00:18:36.258
  • Will cause this pestilence on it, how young's thought it also.
  • 00:18:36.325 --> 00:18:38.727
  • It, how young's thought it also. okay, now--but watch this first.
  • 00:18:38.794 --> 00:18:40.229
  • Okay, now--but watch this first. this is 1 samuel.
  • 00:18:40.295 --> 00:18:41.363
  • This is 1 samuel. "it came to pass, when the evil
  • 00:18:41.430 --> 00:18:42.564
  • "it came to pass, when the evil spirit from god was upon saul,
  • 00:18:42.631 --> 00:18:44.266
  • Spirit from god was upon saul, that david took an harp, and
  • 00:18:44.333 --> 00:18:45.801
  • That david took an harp, and played with his hand: so saul
  • 00:18:45.867 --> 00:18:47.069
  • Played with his hand: so saul was refreshed, and was well,
  • 00:18:47.135 --> 00:18:48.337
  • Was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit
  • 00:18:48.403 --> 00:18:49.037
  • And the evil spirit departed from him."
  • 00:18:49.104 --> 00:18:50.339
  • Departed from him." so it's anointing
  • 00:18:50.405 --> 00:18:51.440
  • So it's anointing on david's playing.
  • 00:18:51.506 --> 00:18:52.975
  • On david's playing. david was a worshiper.
  • 00:18:53.041 --> 00:18:54.109
  • David was a worshiper. do you see that?
  • 00:18:54.176 --> 00:18:55.410
  • Do you see that? but this word "evil spirit"
  • 00:18:55.477 --> 00:18:57.846
  • But this word "evil spirit" in hebrew is ra'a, but ra'a
  • 00:18:57.913 --> 00:19:00.249
  • In hebrew is ra'a, but ra'a is an all-inclusive word.

  • It can mean a lot of things. you--they are all evil.
  • 00:19:03.685 --> 00:19:04.753

  • But young's, who is an exceptional hebrew scholar--in
  • 00:19:10.192 --> 00:19:12.160
  • Exceptional hebrew scholar--in young's literal translation he
