Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - How to be Comfortable in God’s Presence | May 12, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.854
Joseph prince: you are not your body.
00:00:12.889 --> 00:00:15.625
You are living in a body.
00:00:15.625 --> 00:00:18.094
One day you leave this house behind.
00:00:18.094 --> 00:00:20.230
If jesus comes, you'll still have a brand-new body.
00:00:20.230 --> 00:00:23.099
The bible say a glorified body,
00:00:23.099 --> 00:00:24.767
But you'll still live in a body forever.
00:00:24.767 --> 00:00:27.270
But your mind is enlightened with the word of god.
00:00:27.270 --> 00:00:30.140
But deep down, who you really are,
00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:31.808
Your spirit, the source of all activity,
00:00:31.808 --> 00:00:35.411
The source of all power, the supply of the connection
00:00:35.411 --> 00:00:38.815
Between heaven and earth is through your spirit.
00:00:38.815 --> 00:00:40.984
Always remember this, okay? the way god made you.
00:00:40.984 --> 00:00:44.687
So, in the holy of holies,
00:00:44.687 --> 00:00:46.789
You step into the holy of holies,
00:00:46.789 --> 00:00:48.358
Which in those days,
00:00:48.358 --> 00:00:49.692
Only the high priest can go in once a year,
00:00:49.692 --> 00:00:51.928
Your holy of holies is perfect stillness, quiet.
00:00:51.928 --> 00:01:00.336
You can be busy, but inside you're at peace.
00:01:00.336 --> 00:01:03.173
Male announcer: what if this is the moment
00:01:03.173 --> 00:01:04.541
God is using to reach you?
00:01:04.541 --> 00:01:07.177
What if this is an invitation to live the life
00:01:07.177 --> 00:01:09.112
God has called you to live?
00:01:09.112 --> 00:01:11.314
In today's message, joseph unveils scriptural truths
00:01:11.314 --> 00:01:14.450
And divine secrets on how to live
00:01:14.450 --> 00:01:16.452
The overcoming life.
00:01:16.452 --> 00:01:18.221
Joseph prince: the bible says that "in the last days,
00:01:18.221 --> 00:01:20.423
God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh."
00:01:20.423 --> 00:01:23.226
So we are looking forward for a worldwide revival,
00:01:23.226 --> 00:01:25.461
Hallelujah, amen.
00:01:25.461 --> 00:01:27.230
They are ready, people, for the gospel.
00:01:27.230 --> 00:01:30.166
Announcer: make this year the year you talk
00:01:30.166 --> 00:01:31.601

And now here's pastor joseph prince
00:02:04.934 --> 00:02:07.403
With today's program.
00:02:07.403 --> 00:02:08.905
Joseph prince: when you are restless
00:02:08.905 --> 00:02:10.473
And you are not restful,
00:02:10.473 --> 00:02:13.610
That's the time you are more susceptible
00:02:13.610 --> 00:02:17.447
To temptation.
00:02:17.447 --> 00:02:19.115
Whether it's to pornography,
00:02:19.115 --> 00:02:20.984
Whether it's to overeating or drinking,
00:02:20.984 --> 00:02:23.620
Problems with drinking alcohol and all that,
00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:25.722
All this happens when a person is tired,
00:02:25.722 --> 00:02:28.791
When a person is spent,
00:02:28.791 --> 00:02:30.827
Many pastors got to watch it after they preach a sermon,
00:02:30.827 --> 00:02:33.496
All right?
00:02:33.496 --> 00:02:34.831
That's the time they're most vulnerable.
00:02:34.831 --> 00:02:36.165
They think that my prayers god, man, and i--
00:02:36.165 --> 00:02:38.301
God preached through me today.
00:02:38.301 --> 00:02:40.536
I mean, the holy spirit preached to me today.
00:02:40.536 --> 00:02:42.171
I felt the anointing, hallelujah.
00:02:42.171 --> 00:02:44.207
You gotta be careful after that.
00:02:44.207 --> 00:02:48.011
Find a place to give god the praise and the glory,
00:02:48.011 --> 00:02:50.980
All right?
00:02:50.980 --> 00:02:52.315
Kneel down, give god all the praise
00:02:52.315 --> 00:02:53.650
And the glory and all the honor.
00:02:53.650 --> 00:02:56.452
It helps, you know, your perspective on life
00:02:56.452 --> 00:03:01.124
When you realize that "everything you do
00:03:01.124 --> 00:03:02.692
Is not for me, my money, more money, more money.
00:03:02.692 --> 00:03:05.461
It's for me and my family and my--
00:03:05.461 --> 00:03:07.030
And me, more money, more money,
00:03:07.030 --> 00:03:08.631
Me and my family and more money, more money--"
00:03:08.631 --> 00:03:10.767
Don't live life like that.
00:03:10.767 --> 00:03:13.102
Life is more than that.
00:03:13.102 --> 00:03:15.405
Life is about kairos moments with the lord,
00:03:15.405 --> 00:03:18.441
Kairos moments with your loved ones.
00:03:18.441 --> 00:03:21.411
You--if you're young kids, they grow up very fast,
00:03:21.411 --> 00:03:24.547
Very, very fast.
00:03:24.547 --> 00:03:26.416
You don't enjoy the moment, but now is the kairos time,
00:03:26.416 --> 00:03:32.088
The bible says, literally, in the greek,
00:03:32.088 --> 00:03:34.991
Now is the favored time, is the kairos time,
00:03:34.991 --> 00:03:38.561
The accepted time.
00:03:38.561 --> 00:03:40.963
Join now, and all the people said--
00:03:40.963 --> 00:03:44.467
Joseph prince: are you with me so far?
00:03:44.467 --> 00:03:47.437
Many years ago, there's a guy called friedman,
00:03:47.437 --> 00:03:50.273
All right?
00:03:50.273 --> 00:03:51.607
Doctor--he's a cardiologist.
00:03:51.607 --> 00:03:54.043
He and his partner, rosenman, both of them,
00:03:54.043 --> 00:03:57.113
Friedman and rosenman-- what do you think they are?
00:03:57.113 --> 00:04:00.850
Jews, very good.
00:04:00.850 --> 00:04:02.652
Jewish cardiologists.
00:04:02.652 --> 00:04:04.420
He discovered this: if you ever hear the term
00:04:04.420 --> 00:04:07.090
Type a personality.
00:04:07.090 --> 00:04:09.392
You know it's type a personality, all right?
00:04:09.392 --> 00:04:11.694
It's a personality where you are very competitive,
00:04:11.694 --> 00:04:14.430
Result-oriented, you are motivated
00:04:14.430 --> 00:04:17.467
By a hurried sickness.
00:04:17.467 --> 00:04:19.535
You rush, rush, rush, and you are very short-tempered,
00:04:19.535 --> 00:04:23.873
You are very irritable, amen?
00:04:23.873 --> 00:04:26.242
You don't care for people wasting time.
00:04:26.242 --> 00:04:29.579
You never want to waste time,
00:04:29.579 --> 00:04:31.080
You are hyper, you are very competitive,
00:04:31.080 --> 00:04:33.182
Sounds like singaporeans.
00:04:33.182 --> 00:04:36.986
That's type a personality. he was the one that coined it.
00:04:36.986 --> 00:04:39.255
He and his partner coined that phrase.
00:04:39.255 --> 00:04:40.990
You know why?
00:04:40.990 --> 00:04:42.325
Because one day, he's a cardiologist
00:04:42.325 --> 00:04:44.093
Practicing one in his clinic,
00:04:44.093 --> 00:04:46.229
And what happened is this--
00:04:46.229 --> 00:04:47.563
Was probably during the 40s or 50s
00:04:47.563 --> 00:04:51.367
And what happened is that he-- is waiting room, the chairs,
00:04:51.367 --> 00:04:54.904
Was--it was time for them to upholster the chairs
00:04:54.904 --> 00:04:58.007
And the guy in charge of all the stair chairs
00:04:58.007 --> 00:05:00.877
And all that, came to collect it,
00:05:00.877 --> 00:05:02.712
And this man remarked to mr. freedman,
00:05:02.712 --> 00:05:05.548
He says that "i noticed something
00:05:05.548 --> 00:05:06.883
About your chairs, doctor.
00:05:06.883 --> 00:05:09.051
They are all frazzled and worn out at the edge.
00:05:09.051 --> 00:05:16.426
It's all worn out at the edge, not at the back,
00:05:16.426 --> 00:05:19.162
At the edge, where your tie is."
00:05:19.162 --> 00:05:22.432
That means what?
00:05:22.432 --> 00:05:24.133
People are sitting on the edge, holding the chair.
00:05:24.133 --> 00:05:29.071
So at first it meant nothing to him,
00:05:29.071 --> 00:05:30.673
But then he observed quite a number of chairs
00:05:30.673 --> 00:05:33.309
Of his patients who have heart problems.
00:05:33.309 --> 00:05:35.077
They have-- they sit on the edge.
00:05:35.077 --> 00:05:37.580
And then he looked out the window
00:05:37.580 --> 00:05:39.682
And, in those days, right, it's on the ground floor
00:05:39.682 --> 00:05:42.084
And all that.
00:05:42.084 --> 00:05:43.419
I mean, america's large and they are--
00:05:43.419 --> 00:05:45.154
You know, their, you know, their car park is all out there.
00:05:45.154 --> 00:05:47.990
He looked at his patients' cars besides his medical staff.
00:05:47.990 --> 00:05:51.327
His medical staff are-- all right, can park nose in,
00:05:51.327 --> 00:05:55.498
But all his patients park nose out for a quick getaway.
00:05:55.498 --> 00:06:03.673
He cannot afford to waste time.
00:06:03.673 --> 00:06:06.142
No singaporean does this.
00:06:06.142 --> 00:06:09.779
So in other words, you park reverse,
00:06:09.779 --> 00:06:12.148
You are ready to go.
00:06:12.148 --> 00:06:14.383
You know what i'm saying? in singapore, right?
00:06:14.383 --> 00:06:17.153
I know one thing: if it's a red light,
00:06:17.153 --> 00:06:21.290
You wait for the green light,
00:06:21.290 --> 00:06:23.059
You better be alert and ready because if the red light
00:06:23.059 --> 00:06:29.398
Turns green light, you don't move fast.
00:06:29.398 --> 00:06:32.602
The guy behind turned red.
00:06:32.602 --> 00:06:35.171
That is a formula i have learned.
00:06:35.171 --> 00:06:37.406
You only have about 3 seconds,
00:06:37.406 --> 00:06:40.409
Only 3 seconds, move fast, all right?
00:06:40.409 --> 00:06:43.412
You cannot afford to breathe, you cannot afford to look at it
00:06:43.412 --> 00:06:46.549
Carefully then, move.
00:06:46.549 --> 00:06:48.084
Now, they even have a-- their eyes, they can see, right?
00:06:48.084 --> 00:06:53.456
Sideways, slanted.
00:06:53.456 --> 00:06:56.659
They got a slanted eye because they look at
00:06:56.659 --> 00:06:58.261
The other side, whether it's red,
00:06:58.261 --> 00:06:59.962
How fast it turns green.
00:06:59.962 --> 00:07:01.831
The accounting. they're not happy.
00:07:01.831 --> 00:07:04.500
In some modern countries, they let you know
00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:07.436
To calm you down, all right.
00:07:07.436 --> 00:07:10.139
So, recently, a dear brother shared with me
00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:13.209
About someone he loves who has passed on
00:07:13.209 --> 00:07:17.013
Because of a heart attack.
00:07:17.013 --> 00:07:18.881
But this dear brother was telling me
00:07:18.881 --> 00:07:20.783
That the entire family would never expect this man
00:07:20.783 --> 00:07:24.720
To pass on with heart attack.
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:29.091
Because why?
00:07:29.091 --> 00:07:30.426
He eats caref-- he's very careful
00:07:30.426 --> 00:07:32.628
About what he eats.
00:07:32.628 --> 00:07:33.996
He eats healthily.
00:07:33.996 --> 00:07:35.831
He has low cholesterol, never admitted to the hospital,
00:07:35.831 --> 00:07:40.202
He's very healthy.
00:07:40.202 --> 00:07:42.572
The last person the family and all the relatives
00:07:42.572 --> 00:07:45.408
Thought were passed on with him.
00:07:45.408 --> 00:07:47.944
He exercises every day.
00:07:47.944 --> 00:07:51.914
He's fanatical about fitness.
00:07:51.914 --> 00:07:55.551
But died of a heart attack. just like that.
00:07:55.551 --> 00:07:57.887
But one thing this brother shared with me
00:07:57.887 --> 00:07:59.221
And all the families all raised is this: he has this.
00:07:59.221 --> 00:08:03.559
He cannot even wait for the lift to come down.
00:08:03.559 --> 00:08:07.129
Prophetic, you know, words come out that are terrible.
00:08:07.129 --> 00:08:11.634
He's very irritable.
00:08:11.634 --> 00:08:13.636
He's always hurrying.
00:08:13.636 --> 00:08:16.238
He's very bad tempered,
00:08:16.238 --> 00:08:18.007
And this came from the members of the family,
00:08:18.007 --> 00:08:20.209
But they are glad he got saved.
00:08:20.209 --> 00:08:24.413
And that brought me back to this type a temperament.
00:08:24.413 --> 00:08:26.449
Type a temperament are people who are like that--
00:08:26.449 --> 00:08:30.152
Very competitive, result-oriented,
00:08:30.152 --> 00:08:32.021
Very hurried, very irritable.
00:08:32.021 --> 00:08:38.961
They see slowing down as a weakness, but actually,
00:08:43.032 --> 00:08:46.702
I like what the marine-- us marines say.
00:08:46.702 --> 00:08:48.904
You know, they have this saying,
00:08:48.904 --> 00:08:50.740
"slow is smooth.
00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:53.876
Smooth is fast.
00:08:53.876 --> 00:08:56.512
Fast is deadly.
00:08:56.512 --> 00:09:02.051
Slow is smooth.
00:09:02.051 --> 00:09:03.619
Smooth is fast."
00:09:03.619 --> 00:09:05.521
So i tell justin, you see, "don't rush."
00:09:05.521 --> 00:09:08.724
Have you noticed your kids, they rush really fast?
00:09:08.724 --> 00:09:11.427
It's because they play games with a lot compared to us,
00:09:11.427 --> 00:09:14.864
And their games require speed.
00:09:14.864 --> 00:09:17.233
So they bring that into their studies,
00:09:17.233 --> 00:09:19.669
All right, and they make careless mistakes.
00:09:19.669 --> 00:09:21.370
They know the answer, but they make what?
00:09:21.370 --> 00:09:22.938
Too fast, they--you know, everything's working fast,
00:09:22.938 --> 00:09:24.807
So we are teaching him how to slow down,
00:09:24.807 --> 00:09:26.542
And i always tell him, slow is what?
00:09:26.542 --> 00:09:28.878
Smooth. you ask him?
00:09:28.878 --> 00:09:30.780
You say slow is what? he'll tell you smooth.
00:09:30.780 --> 00:09:32.515
Ah, yeah, oh, you're smooth, yeah.
00:09:32.515 --> 00:09:35.051
Slow down to go fast. slow down.
00:09:35.051 --> 00:09:38.587
It's a sabbath principle.
00:09:38.587 --> 00:09:40.956
Something happens, right?
00:09:40.956 --> 00:09:43.893
To us, physically, when we learn to slow down
00:09:43.893 --> 00:09:47.063
One day out of seven.
00:09:47.063 --> 00:09:48.564
Remember the man at the pool of bethesda?
00:09:48.564 --> 00:09:51.467
Remember the guy?
00:09:51.467 --> 00:09:52.802
Jesus healed him on the sabbath,
00:09:52.802 --> 00:09:54.136
And it's amazing how many people jesus healed
00:09:54.136 --> 00:09:55.671
On the sabbath.
00:09:55.671 --> 00:09:57.139
And jesus showing that the portion,
00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:59.175
Just a bit of it-- "jesus said to the man
00:09:59.175 --> 00:10:00.810
After he healed him-- when he healed him,
00:10:00.810 --> 00:10:02.545
'rise, take up your bed and walk.'"
00:10:02.545 --> 00:10:04.013
Now, he's been on the bed for a long time,
00:10:04.013 --> 00:10:05.581
So you can say that, actually,
00:10:05.581 --> 00:10:07.016
If sabbath is just resting and doing nothing,
00:10:07.016 --> 00:10:09.719
The guy was resting, doing nothing for 38 years, right?
00:10:09.719 --> 00:10:18.394
So jesus says, "rise, take up your bed, and walk."
00:10:18.394 --> 00:10:22.932
Walking for him now. now he's healed.
00:10:22.932 --> 00:10:25.034
He cannot walk, you know? now he's healed.
00:10:25.034 --> 00:10:26.702
For him, that's restful.
00:10:26.702 --> 00:10:28.537
So do what's restful for you.
00:10:28.537 --> 00:10:32.675
Do what's restful for you.
00:10:32.675 --> 00:10:34.877
"but, pastor prince, my restfulness
00:10:34.877 --> 00:10:36.412
Is watching drama."
00:10:36.412 --> 00:10:40.750
Sometimes, you know, at the end of it,
00:10:40.750 --> 00:10:42.084
If you find you're tired, it's not restful.
00:10:42.084 --> 00:10:45.421
Many a times, screen time is not restful, hm?
00:10:45.421 --> 00:10:51.360
And that has studies behind it as well.
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.796
It's not restful.
00:10:53.796 --> 00:10:55.131
You want to sleep looking at your--
00:10:55.131 --> 00:10:57.500
At night, looking at your phone, the blue light,
00:10:57.500 --> 00:11:00.236
It's not going to help you rest.
00:11:00.236 --> 00:11:02.438
You won't have a sweet sleep.
00:11:02.438 --> 00:11:07.376
So, immediately, the bible says the man was made well,
00:11:07.376 --> 00:11:10.746
Took up his bed and walked, and that day was the sabbath.
00:11:10.746 --> 00:11:14.083
Why did the holy spirit mention that day was the sabbath?
00:11:14.083 --> 00:11:17.353
Because he was carrying his bed,
00:11:17.353 --> 00:11:19.021
Which he's not supposed to, right?
00:11:19.021 --> 00:11:20.756
Based on their law--that's why we're not under law,
00:11:20.756 --> 00:11:22.925
But under grace.
00:11:22.925 --> 00:11:24.260
"but sabbath is under the law, pastor prince."
00:11:24.260 --> 00:11:26.295
It was mentioned in the law,
00:11:26.295 --> 00:11:27.897
But it was there in the beginning.
00:11:27.897 --> 00:11:29.498
Let's go to genesis chapter 2, verse 2,
00:11:29.498 --> 00:11:32.234
And i'll show you.
00:11:32.234 --> 00:11:33.569
"on the seventh day, god ended his work."
00:11:33.569 --> 00:11:34.904
This is way before moses was even an idea,
00:11:34.904 --> 00:11:38.541
Before mount sinai.
00:11:38.541 --> 00:11:40.376
"god ended his work on the seventh day."
00:11:40.376 --> 00:11:42.411
That's what number seven has got to do with completion,
00:11:42.411 --> 00:11:45.147
Or perfection.
00:11:45.147 --> 00:11:46.482
"god ended everything," okay, "which he had done,
00:11:46.482 --> 00:11:49.151
And he rested on the seventh day
00:11:49.151 --> 00:11:50.820
From all his work which he had done.
00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:52.988
Then god blessed the seventh day and sanctified it,
00:11:52.988 --> 00:11:56.458
Because in it he rested from all his work
00:11:56.458 --> 00:11:58.494
Which god had created and made.
00:11:58.494 --> 00:12:01.130
God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it."
00:12:01.130 --> 00:12:03.999
Folks, there's a bible interpretation,
00:12:03.999 --> 00:12:08.070
A law of bible interpretation called the law of first mention.
00:12:08.070 --> 00:12:11.240
And this is the first time the word "holy" is mentioned.
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.511
In the word "sanctified." it's the same word.
00:12:15.511 --> 00:12:17.379
We use sanctify, holy, differently, right?
00:12:17.379 --> 00:12:20.182
But in the hebrew, it's the same word: kadesh,
00:12:20.182 --> 00:12:24.587
Or kadosh.
00:12:24.587 --> 00:12:25.921
Kadesh, like the holy of holies called kodesh hakodashim, right?
00:12:25.921 --> 00:12:31.760
Okay, so kadesh, people say, "this is holiness,
00:12:31.760 --> 00:12:34.597
That's holiness.
00:12:34.597 --> 00:12:35.931
What is holiness? holiness is rest."
00:12:35.931 --> 00:12:37.900
The first mention of holiness is rest.
00:12:37.900 --> 00:12:40.536
In other words, every time you see someone unholy,
00:12:40.536 --> 00:12:43.005
It proceeded from a place of unrest.
00:12:43.005 --> 00:12:46.108
He's not working out of rest.
00:12:46.108 --> 00:12:48.043
He is not serving out of rest.
00:12:48.043 --> 00:12:52.147
I hope i'm preaching out of rest, amen.
00:12:52.147 --> 00:12:55.317
You can do things outwardly, no one can tell,
00:12:55.317 --> 00:12:57.353
But it's not out of rest.
00:12:57.353 --> 00:12:58.754
Just like god made you the-- in his image and the bible says,
00:12:58.754 --> 00:13:02.958
"know you not that you are the temple of god?
00:13:02.958 --> 00:13:07.029
You--spirit, soul, and body-- your temple of god."
00:13:07.029 --> 00:13:08.797
Look at the temple of god in the old testament, amen?
00:13:08.797 --> 00:13:12.201
There is a holy place.
00:13:12.201 --> 00:13:13.535
There is the holy of holies, and outside is the outer court,
00:13:13.535 --> 00:13:15.838
Outer court.
00:13:15.838 --> 00:13:17.172
You get sun, natural sun.
00:13:17.172 --> 00:13:18.974
So the people of the world are those in the outer court.
00:13:18.974 --> 00:13:21.110
They get natural sun, natural light,
00:13:21.110 --> 00:13:22.811
Whatever science discovers, all right?
00:13:22.811 --> 00:13:25.247
And science will never contradict the bible.
00:13:25.247 --> 00:13:29.218
True science will never contradict the bible.
00:13:29.218 --> 00:13:31.720
In fact, the bible is there way, way, way, way.
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.789
One scientist, one great scientist said this:
00:13:33.789 --> 00:13:35.524
The one who created the rocket, he actually said this.
00:13:35.524 --> 00:13:39.161
He said that when we discovered the truth about,
00:13:39.161 --> 00:13:41.830
This, you know, this discovery they're looking for in science,
00:13:41.830 --> 00:13:45.601
When we found out,
00:13:45.601 --> 00:13:46.936
We found out the bible was there all the while.
00:13:46.936 --> 00:13:49.038
The bible's conclusion is there already.
00:13:49.038 --> 00:13:51.140
So natural light.
00:13:51.140 --> 00:13:52.608
Then we go into the holy place,
00:13:52.608 --> 00:13:53.943
The church, the lampstand is here.
00:13:53.943 --> 00:13:55.644
No more sunlight, but it's light from the lampstand,
00:13:55.644 --> 00:13:59.715
The church,
00:13:59.715 --> 00:14:01.150
Where the word of the holy spirit dwells.
00:14:01.150 --> 00:14:04.320
We receive light the world doesn't even know.
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:06.922
We see things the world doesn't even know, amen.
00:14:06.922 --> 00:14:10.893
So theirs is limited, but god in his mercy does let them
00:14:10.893 --> 00:14:13.529
Have some light.
00:14:13.529 --> 00:14:15.497
Like, medicine is a product of that natural light.
00:14:15.497 --> 00:14:18.200
It's food from god.
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.470
Amen, okay?
00:14:21.470 --> 00:14:23.605
So what are you saying, pastor prince?
00:14:23.605 --> 00:14:25.274
You are made in the temple-- you are the temple of god,
00:14:25.274 --> 00:14:27.676
The bible says, all right?
00:14:27.676 --> 00:14:30.412
So, outer court, window.
00:14:30.412 --> 00:14:34.350
Look at your neighbor: outer court.
00:14:34.350 --> 00:14:36.752
Some got nice roofs, some no roof, some, you know?
00:14:36.752 --> 00:14:40.189
Amen, outer court, right?
00:14:40.189 --> 00:14:42.558
This is your outer court.
00:14:42.558 --> 00:14:43.993
It's in touch with the world out there, okay?
00:14:43.993 --> 00:14:47.463
Now, you are not the outer court.
00:14:47.463 --> 00:14:50.199
Step inside, you have the soul.
00:14:50.199 --> 00:14:53.168
Just like in the holy place, there are three furniture items,
00:14:53.168 --> 00:14:56.638
All right?
00:14:56.638 --> 00:14:57.973
In your soul, also three.
00:14:57.973 --> 00:15:00.042
What is it?
00:15:00.042 --> 00:15:01.377
Your will, your conscience, right?
00:15:01.377 --> 00:15:05.447
All that can come out of your mind,
00:15:05.447 --> 00:15:06.849
Your intuition, okay?
00:15:06.849 --> 00:15:10.019
Intuition is tied even closer because one furniture
00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:12.421
Is very close to the spirit, which is the altar of incense.
00:15:12.421 --> 00:15:15.791
So, intuition is actually in the spirit realm
00:15:15.791 --> 00:15:18.894
As well as soul realm.
00:15:18.894 --> 00:15:21.230
Then you step deeper, your spirit.
00:15:21.230 --> 00:15:23.732
This the world knows nothing of.
00:15:23.732 --> 00:15:25.234
They do not even know the date spiritually.
00:15:25.234 --> 00:15:27.569
The part of you that we say you're born again
00:15:27.569 --> 00:15:29.271
Is that spirit comes alive.
00:15:29.271 --> 00:15:31.173
God is a spirit, god made you a spirit being.
00:15:31.173 --> 00:15:34.176
Then god breathed into you his breath
00:15:34.176 --> 00:15:37.112
And you became a living soul, whether god breathed,
00:15:37.112 --> 00:15:39.648
God made a clay, a man out of clay,
00:15:39.648 --> 00:15:41.383
That's your body.
00:15:41.383 --> 00:15:42.718
So, you are not your body.
00:15:42.718 --> 00:15:45.387
You are living in a body.
00:15:45.387 --> 00:15:47.823
One day you leave this house behind.
00:15:47.823 --> 00:15:49.958
If jesus comes, you'll still have a brand-new body.
00:15:49.958 --> 00:15:52.828
The bible is a glorified body,
00:15:52.828 --> 00:15:54.496
But you'll still live in a body forever.
00:15:54.496 --> 00:15:58.300
But your mind is enlightened with the word of god.
00:15:58.300 --> 00:16:01.236
But deep down, who you really are,
00:16:01.236 --> 00:16:02.871
Your spirit, the source of all activity,
00:16:02.871 --> 00:16:06.508
The source of all power, the supply of the connection
00:16:06.508 --> 00:16:09.878
Between heaven and earth is through your spirit.
00:16:09.878 --> 00:16:11.980
God doesn't drop things like that.
00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:13.515
God dropped things for the believer
00:16:13.515 --> 00:16:15.384
Through his spirit, and it goes up.
00:16:15.384 --> 00:16:18.120
Amen, even when i lay hands on the sick,
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:20.823
God doesn't heal people, bang, like that.
00:16:20.823 --> 00:16:22.858
He heals people through the power
00:16:22.858 --> 00:16:25.360
Of the holy spirit out.
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.762
Always remember this, okay? the way god made you.
00:16:26.762 --> 00:16:30.532
So, in the holy of holies, you step into the holy of holies,
00:16:30.532 --> 00:16:34.269
Which in those days,
00:16:34.269 --> 00:16:35.604
Only the high priest can go in once a year.
00:16:35.604 --> 00:16:37.739
Your holy of holies is perfect stillness quiet.
00:16:37.739 --> 00:16:46.615
I'm bringing this-- this to a close, okay?
00:16:46.615 --> 00:16:48.784
Hurry up, lah, you've been-- yes, i've been waiting for that.
00:16:48.784 --> 00:16:57.192
Because of you, slow is smooth.
00:16:57.192 --> 00:17:02.431
Smooth is fast, fast, deadly, bro.
00:17:02.431 --> 00:17:10.539
This hurried sickness is killing people.
00:17:10.539 --> 00:17:17.613
So, dr. freudmann came up with this.
00:17:17.613 --> 00:17:20.616
Type a temperament.
00:17:20.616 --> 00:17:22.384
It's hard to point out that this definitely will result--
00:17:22.384 --> 00:17:25.754
We're not saying that--
00:17:25.754 --> 00:17:27.089
Neither is he, but from there came this type a temperament,
00:17:27.089 --> 00:17:30.792
Which i think made a lot of our workforce--
00:17:30.792 --> 00:17:35.464
Type b are those who are relaxed.
00:17:35.464 --> 00:17:38.667
They're very relaxed, they're very chill, amen.
00:17:38.667 --> 00:17:46.241
"now, pastor, if i shut--" you know, and i think
00:17:46.241 --> 00:17:48.810
Personally you should focus on sunday being a rest day.
00:17:48.810 --> 00:17:54.383
For us pastors, we work hard on sunday, all right?
00:17:54.383 --> 00:17:57.052
So, monday is our rest day for most of us,
00:17:57.052 --> 00:17:59.154
Most pastors, amen.
00:17:59.154 --> 00:18:01.023
But at least you should find one day you rest
00:18:01.023 --> 00:18:03.926
And your children shouldn't do no homework
00:18:03.926 --> 00:18:05.561
During that day.
00:18:05.561 --> 00:18:08.764
Just like the jewish people, they prepare tuition, all right,
00:18:08.764 --> 00:18:15.571
They prepare--the bible even your animals rest.
00:18:15.571 --> 00:18:18.574
Read carefully.
00:18:18.574 --> 00:18:19.908
Later on, it was put into the ten commandments, sabbath.
00:18:19.908 --> 00:18:22.811
But what's god telling the people
00:18:22.811 --> 00:18:24.146
When they say keep the sabbath?
00:18:24.146 --> 00:18:25.480
He's telling rest.
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.816
So that is physical, yes.
00:18:27.816 --> 00:18:30.619
What is really spiritual is he that has entered into his rest.
00:18:30.619 --> 00:18:34.523
And the bible says that back to hebrews 4,
00:18:34.523 --> 00:18:37.392
We're bringing this to a close.
00:18:37.392 --> 00:18:38.727
"let us labor therefore to enter into that rest,
00:18:38.727 --> 00:18:40.729
Lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief,"
00:18:40.729 --> 00:18:43.398
Like the children of israel in the wilderness.
00:18:43.398 --> 00:18:45.033
Let us labor. it's an oxymoron.
00:18:45.033 --> 00:18:47.102
Labor--oxymoron means a contradiction of terms,
00:18:47.102 --> 00:18:49.304
Like, cruel kindness, amen?
00:18:49.304 --> 00:18:53.008
Making haste slowly, or something like that.
00:18:53.008 --> 00:18:58.380
All right, these are things that is contradiction.
00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:01.250
Let us labor to enter the rest.
00:19:01.250 --> 00:19:03.285
You got to work at resting, entering that place of rest.
00:19:03.285 --> 00:19:08.824
You can be busy, but inside you're at peace.
00:19:08.824 --> 00:19:11.426
Sunday is a special day
00:19:11.426 --> 00:19:13.061
For god's people to come together.
00:19:13.061 --> 00:19:14.763
It's there in the new testament, amen.
00:19:14.763 --> 00:19:18.400
And something good happens every time
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.102
God's people come together on sunday.
00:19:20.102 --> 00:19:22.604
They are placed in one accord, a place--
00:19:22.604 --> 00:19:25.407
You come together in one place in one accord.
00:19:25.407 --> 00:19:27.709
Watching online doesn't really cut it.
00:19:27.709 --> 00:19:30.045
In this verse, they're all together in one place,
00:19:30.045 --> 00:19:33.148
In one place, in one accord, okay?
00:19:33.148 --> 00:19:35.951
In church present.
00:19:35.951 --> 00:19:37.819
You cannot, for some reason, we understand.
00:19:37.819 --> 00:19:40.489
That's why we have online.
00:19:40.489 --> 00:19:42.357
All right, but that's god's way.
00:19:42.357 --> 00:19:44.493
Every from sunday to sunday.
00:19:44.493 --> 00:19:49.598
Okay--"sunday, you're just a sunday christian."
00:19:49.598 --> 00:19:51.066
"yes, sunday also," yes, amen.
00:19:51.066 --> 00:19:56.405
Enter into rest, and the rest of your week--or be blessed.
00:19:56.405 --> 00:20:01.843
I believe that.
00:20:01.843 --> 00:20:03.178
Your body will thank you.
00:20:03.178 --> 00:20:04.913
You know, in the thanks and moments read carefully,
00:20:04.913 --> 00:20:07.616
No one should work, not even your mates
00:20:07.616 --> 00:20:10.519
Is mentioned there, amen.
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:14.122
Again, i remind you, it's not the artwork.
00:20:14.122 --> 00:20:16.925
There's so much, but you can work towards that--
00:20:16.925 --> 00:20:18.560
I think it's gonna be great
00:20:18.560 --> 00:20:20.162
To have one day of rest out of seven.
00:20:20.162 --> 00:20:22.864
Your body will thank you, your mind will thank you,
00:20:22.864 --> 00:20:25.233
Your heart will thank you.
00:20:25.233 --> 00:20:26.868
We are so scared of quietness, so scared of stillness.
00:20:26.868 --> 00:20:34.776
It's a generation of noise, noise, noise.
00:20:34.776 --> 00:20:39.881
When i went to a place of nature--
00:20:39.881 --> 00:20:42.651
I was telling my wife and justin the other day,
00:20:42.651 --> 00:20:46.054
Told my daughter also.
00:20:46.054 --> 00:20:47.389
I said that i felt like a country boy--
00:20:47.389 --> 00:20:50.459
Not country boy-- city boy going to the country.
00:20:50.459 --> 00:20:54.062
Everything is fresh.
00:20:54.062 --> 00:20:56.465
Air is so oxygenated.
00:20:56.465 --> 00:20:58.867
The trees are luscious, green all around me,
00:20:58.867 --> 00:21:03.372
And the water is there, the sound is beautiful,
00:21:03.372 --> 00:21:06.274
And i had a cold-turkey reaction.
00:21:06.274 --> 00:21:10.879
I long for a shopping mall.
00:21:10.879 --> 00:21:14.383
I had to find a shopping mall,
00:21:14.383 --> 00:21:16.718
And i'm breathing fresh air all the time--
00:21:16.718 --> 00:21:19.154
No smoke, nothing, no carbon monoxide, nothing.
00:21:19.154 --> 00:21:23.625
I'm not used to it.
00:21:23.625 --> 00:21:24.960
I came so close to crawling,
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:26.995
Crawling all the way to my rented car,
00:21:26.995 --> 00:21:30.031
And then put the exhaust near my nose,
00:21:30.031 --> 00:21:34.002
And then switched on the car and then...
00:21:34.002 --> 00:21:40.075
I'm revived.
00:21:40.075 --> 00:21:41.443
Now i'm normal.
00:21:41.443 --> 00:21:44.246
That's what happened to city folk.
00:21:44.246 --> 00:21:46.348
It took me also more than i was telling some of the pastors.
00:21:46.348 --> 00:21:50.185
It took me more than one week plus
00:21:50.185 --> 00:21:54.022
In this beautiful place to quieten down because why?
00:21:54.022 --> 00:21:59.895
My mind is that i wonder if the pastors handled
00:21:59.895 --> 00:22:02.264
This case or not.
00:22:02.264 --> 00:22:03.598
I wonder if this has been done or not.
00:22:03.598 --> 00:22:04.933
I wonder do they know how to do that?
00:22:04.933 --> 00:22:07.369
I wonder if this has been done.
00:22:07.369 --> 00:22:08.970
I wonder if that has been done.
00:22:08.970 --> 00:22:10.972
What about this and what about that?
00:22:10.972 --> 00:22:12.507
What about this? what about that?
00:22:12.507 --> 00:22:14.609
I gotta stop myself, you know? and i do a singaporean thing.
00:22:14.609 --> 00:22:18.713
While i'm driving, not even hungry,
00:22:18.713 --> 00:22:20.282
I just finished my lunch, i'm digging.
00:22:20.282 --> 00:22:22.784
Better plan for dinner.
00:22:22.784 --> 00:22:25.153
Oh.
00:22:25.153 --> 00:22:26.521
I cannot enjoy the scenery.
00:22:26.521 --> 00:22:28.790
I cannot enjoy where i am because my mind--
00:22:28.790 --> 00:22:32.294
Have you been there?
00:22:32.294 --> 00:22:33.628
You're on holiday, but you're not on holiday.
00:22:33.628 --> 00:22:35.230
Your mind is not on holiday.
00:22:35.230 --> 00:22:36.898
You know, it takes a long time for your mind
00:22:36.898 --> 00:22:38.400
To calm down because you're so used--
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.001
You are addicted to business.
00:22:40.001 --> 00:22:46.441
I'm gonna give you a word from the lord.
00:22:46.441 --> 00:22:47.776
I just had this rising up.
00:22:47.776 --> 00:22:50.111
Kill harry before harry kills you.
00:22:50.111 --> 00:22:54.883

Announcer: and now a closing word
00:23:24.312 --> 00:23:25.914
From pastor joseph prince.
00:23:25.914 --> 00:23:27.549
Joseph prince: pray this prayer from your heart, okay?
00:23:27.616 --> 00:23:32.454
Tell the lord, "father, i so want to enter your rest.
00:23:32.454 --> 00:23:37.292
And i know your word says it's only by faith.
00:23:37.292 --> 00:23:40.695
Unbelief will not do it. so, thank you, father.
00:23:40.695 --> 00:23:45.400
I believe that all the work is finished.
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:47.903
I don't have to worry about my children.
00:23:47.903 --> 00:23:50.906
They will turn out all right. all the work has been finished.
00:23:50.906 --> 00:23:54.876
In your estimation of time, you have gone ahead,
00:23:54.876 --> 00:23:59.748
Produced, the end result successfully, prosperously.
00:23:59.748 --> 00:24:03.852
And you've come back in my time zone and said,
00:24:03.852 --> 00:24:07.756
'have faith.'
00:24:07.756 --> 00:24:10.091
So i enter into your rest, lord, seeing the finished product.
00:24:10.091 --> 00:24:14.563
I entered into your rest, lord, concerning my marriage.
00:24:14.563 --> 00:24:18.466
It seems to be dwindling.
00:24:18.466 --> 00:24:19.801
It seems to be like we're always quarreling,
00:24:19.801 --> 00:24:22.437
But i see the finished product-- that out of this valley
00:24:22.437 --> 00:24:25.206
Will come the beautiful mountain of intimate bliss.
00:24:25.206 --> 00:24:31.613
Your prosperity on our marriage.
00:24:31.613 --> 00:24:34.282
I see the finished product.
00:24:34.282 --> 00:24:37.586
I see this friend that you have given me for life
00:24:37.586 --> 00:24:41.856
Becoming my best friend in marriage.
00:24:41.856 --> 00:24:45.093
I thank you, father, i see the finished product
00:24:45.093 --> 00:24:47.128
Even for my career.
00:24:47.128 --> 00:24:49.497
It might seem like it's going downward now,
00:24:49.497 --> 00:24:52.500
In a downward spiral financially,
00:24:52.500 --> 00:24:54.669
I'm struggling,
00:24:54.669 --> 00:24:56.004
But i thank you i see the finished product
00:24:56.004 --> 00:24:58.340
Just like you've been calling my attention
00:24:58.340 --> 00:24:59.808
To the lilies of the field and the birds of the air,
00:24:59.808 --> 00:25:02.143
I have confidence, father,
00:25:02.143 --> 00:25:03.612
That you have supplied for me, and i enter into your rest.
00:25:03.612 --> 00:25:08.183
And i receive your peace right now."
00:25:08.183 --> 00:25:10.485
Tell the lord i receive your peace
00:25:10.485 --> 00:25:11.987
That passes understanding.
00:25:11.987 --> 00:25:13.989
In jesus's name. amen.
00:25:13.989 --> 00:25:17.359
