Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - How to Break the Spiral of Fear and Depression | February 2, 2026
  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.886
  • Joseph prince: we all want the peace of god to guard
  • 00:00:12.955 --> 00:00:14.957
  • Our hearts and minds.
  • 00:00:15.090 --> 00:00:16.291
  • The word "guard" is a very strong military word
  • 00:00:16.425 --> 00:00:18.093
  • That's used in the greek over here.
  • 00:00:18.193 --> 00:00:21.230
  • It means a military garrison guarding your heart and mind
  • 00:00:21.363 --> 00:00:23.265
  • From all fears, worries, anxieties which cause--
  • 00:00:27.236 --> 00:00:31.206
  • These thoughts will cause you to go into
  • 00:00:31.206 --> 00:00:33.575
  • A spiral of oppression, depression.
  • 00:00:33.575 --> 00:00:37.713
  • Pray in the spirit.
  • 00:00:37.713 --> 00:00:39.781
  • Let your requests be made known to god.
  • 00:00:39.781 --> 00:00:42.050
  • Now this word, "requests be made known to god" sounds passive.
  • 00:00:42.050 --> 00:00:48.056
  • It's not like you are making every anxious request
  • 00:00:48.056 --> 00:00:51.560
  • That you have, request about anxiety, to god.
  • 00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.663
  • No, it is being made known to god by someone.
  • 00:00:54.663 --> 00:00:57.499
  • If it's you making known, like your part is this:
  • 00:00:57.499 --> 00:01:00.502
  • Be anxious for nothing.
  • 00:01:00.502 --> 00:01:02.371
  • That is active voice.
  • 00:01:02.371 --> 00:01:05.274
  • So what do you do? you pray.
  • 00:01:05.274 --> 00:01:07.743
  • Your part is to pray in the spirit and the spirit
  • 00:01:07.743 --> 00:01:11.146
  • Makes known to god.
  • 00:01:11.146 --> 00:01:12.948
  • "be made known" is not you making known.
  • 00:01:12.948 --> 00:01:16.151
  • If it is you making known, it's active.
  • 00:01:16.151 --> 00:01:17.953
  • This one is passive.
  • 00:01:17.953 --> 00:01:19.755
  • Now, when you pray in tongues, but then every day,
  • 00:01:19.755 --> 00:01:22.724
  • How do you maintain it?
  • 00:01:22.724 --> 00:01:24.259
  • The spirit-filled, constant filling.
  • 00:01:24.259 --> 00:01:25.827
  • In ephesians, it says: "be being filled
  • 00:01:25.827 --> 00:01:29.164
  • With the spirit."
  • 00:01:29.164 --> 00:01:31.200
  • Passive imperative.
  • 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.535
  • Again, present passive imperative.
  • 00:01:33.535 --> 00:01:35.504
  • In other words, you are not actively filling yourself.
  • 00:01:35.504 --> 00:01:39.374
  • You are not the player here.
  • 00:01:39.374 --> 00:01:40.976
  • You just say this to the lord:
  • 00:01:40.976 --> 00:01:42.311
  • "lord, i do not know how to pray for this condition."
  • 00:01:42.311 --> 00:01:43.946
  • Do you know there's a verse in romans 8, verse 26:
  • 00:01:43.946 --> 00:01:47.049
  • "likewise, the holy spirit helps us in our weakness
  • 00:01:47.049 --> 00:01:51.220
  • For we do not know how to pray as we ought."
  • 00:01:51.220 --> 00:01:53.622
  • Come on, come on, come on, amen?
  • 00:01:53.622 --> 00:01:56.825
  • So how many realize that many of us,
  • 00:01:56.825 --> 00:01:58.393
  • We don't know how to pray as we ought?
  • 00:01:58.393 --> 00:01:59.728
  • All right, we don't know how to pray as we ought, right?
  • 00:01:59.728 --> 00:02:01.930
  • Am i right now?
  • 00:02:01.930 --> 00:02:03.265
  • So we need the holy spirit, amen?
  • 00:02:03.265 --> 00:02:05.734
  • Let your requests be made known to god
  • 00:02:05.734 --> 00:02:08.537
  • And the peace of god which surpasses
  • 00:02:08.537 --> 00:02:10.472
  • All understanding will guard your hearts and minds
  • 00:02:10.472 --> 00:02:13.508
  • Through christ jesus.
  • 00:02:13.508 --> 00:02:15.811
  • Announcer: the world says you need a ten-step plan,
  • 00:02:15.877 --> 00:02:18.513
  • But jesus says,
  • 00:02:18.513 --> 00:02:19.915
  • "just sit at my feet and receive my word."
  • 00:02:19.915 --> 00:02:22.985
  • In today's message, joseph prince opens up
  • 00:02:22.985 --> 00:02:25.153
  • The scriptures to reveal god's plan for you
  • 00:02:25.153 --> 00:02:27.489
  • To live in rest and victory.
  • 00:02:27.489 --> 00:02:29.791
  • Ten must-do exercises, 50 must-eat foods,
  • 00:02:29.791 --> 00:02:33.962
  • One hundred must-read books.
  • 00:02:33.962 --> 00:02:35.731
  • With so much advice out there, how do you know
  • 00:02:35.731 --> 00:02:38.133
  • What really helps?
  • 00:02:38.133 --> 00:02:39.835
  • What if there's a better way?
  • 00:02:39.835 --> 00:02:41.703
  • Not self-help, but god's help.
  • 00:02:41.703 --> 00:02:44.606
  • Because the bible tells us that in times of need,
  • 00:02:44.606 --> 00:02:46.975

  • Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:03:30.085 --> 00:03:32.554
  • With today's program.
  • 00:03:32.554 --> 00:03:33.922
  • Joseph prince: the gospel is not preaching the law.
  • 00:03:33.922 --> 00:03:37.592
  • It is preaching grace, the finished work.
  • 00:03:37.592 --> 00:03:41.563
  • The law is good, but it cannot make you good.
  • 00:03:41.563 --> 00:03:44.366
  • The law is holy; no one can be holy through the law.
  • 00:03:44.366 --> 00:03:47.769
  • So we are no more on mount sinai when god gave to israel
  • 00:03:47.769 --> 00:03:52.307
  • The ten commandments.
  • 00:03:52.307 --> 00:03:54.076
  • And israel is the only one that god gave
  • 00:03:54.076 --> 00:03:56.111
  • The ten commandments.
  • 00:03:56.111 --> 00:03:57.446
  • The rest of us, the bible says, every man has in his conscience
  • 00:03:57.446 --> 00:04:00.749
  • The work of the lord written in their conscience.
  • 00:04:00.749 --> 00:04:03.819
  • But israel was given the ten commandments
  • 00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:06.588
  • On mount sinai, okay?
  • 00:04:06.588 --> 00:04:08.690
  • Say mount sinai.
  • 00:04:08.690 --> 00:04:10.325
  • Yeah, this is mount sinai in saudi arabia today, okay?
  • 00:04:10.325 --> 00:04:14.563
  • Mount sinai, not the hospital, okay?
  • 00:04:14.563 --> 00:04:20.702
  • So when god gave the ten commandments,
  • 00:04:20.702 --> 00:04:22.304
  • What happened to the men down there?
  • 00:04:22.304 --> 00:04:24.740
  • They all died.
  • 00:04:24.740 --> 00:04:26.641
  • Okay, got it?
  • 00:04:26.641 --> 00:04:28.009
  • And the jewish people tell us that is the feast of pentecost.
  • 00:04:28.009 --> 00:04:31.947
  • Pentecost means 50.
  • 00:04:31.947 --> 00:04:33.548
  • Like you say, pentecostal, the 50th day.
  • 00:04:33.548 --> 00:04:36.818
  • It's the 5th day, amen.
  • 00:04:36.818 --> 00:04:39.054
  • The 50th day from passover: pentecost.
  • 00:04:39.054 --> 00:04:42.557
  • God gave the law and 3000 people died.
  • 00:04:42.557 --> 00:04:47.662
  • Fast forward to the new covenant:
  • 00:04:47.662 --> 00:04:49.664
  • In the upper room the disciples were gathered,
  • 00:04:49.664 --> 00:04:52.267
  • The 11 apostles, and they had to choose someone
  • 00:04:52.267 --> 00:04:55.537
  • To replace judas and then they were all
  • 00:04:55.537 --> 00:04:57.906
  • In the upper room.
  • 00:04:57.906 --> 00:04:59.241
  • And the bible says this upper room is at mount zion, okay?
  • 00:04:59.241 --> 00:05:05.380
  • Say mount zion.
  • 00:05:05.380 --> 00:05:07.616
  • It's at mount zion.
  • 00:05:07.616 --> 00:05:09.217
  • And on the day of pentecost, and it's so telling
  • 00:05:09.217 --> 00:05:12.120
  • Because acts 2 says in verse 1:
  • 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.556
  • When the day of pentecost was fully come,
  • 00:05:14.556 --> 00:05:17.559
  • God waited because the law was given
  • 00:05:17.559 --> 00:05:19.895
  • On the first feast of pentecost.
  • 00:05:19.895 --> 00:05:22.364
  • Under grace, god waited until the day of pentecost came,
  • 00:05:22.364 --> 00:05:26.401
  • Which they celebrated.
  • 00:05:26.401 --> 00:05:27.736
  • And they were all gathered together.
  • 00:05:27.736 --> 00:05:29.104
  • It was very crowded in jerusalem because a lot of people
  • 00:05:29.104 --> 00:05:31.206
  • Came to celebrate pentecost.
  • 00:05:31.206 --> 00:05:33.141
  • This time, god gave what?
  • 00:05:33.141 --> 00:05:34.609
  • The spirit, not the law.
  • 00:05:34.609 --> 00:05:37.412
  • And paul--peter went out and preached
  • 00:05:37.412 --> 00:05:39.614
  • And 3000 people got saved.
  • 00:05:39.614 --> 00:05:41.950
  • So when the law was given, 3000 people died.
  • 00:05:41.950 --> 00:05:44.953
  • When grace was given, when the spirit was given,
  • 00:05:44.953 --> 00:05:48.857
  • 3000 people were saved.
  • 00:05:48.857 --> 00:05:52.360
  • So god said to me a long time ago,
  • 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:53.862
  • "move your pulpit from mount sinai
  • 00:05:53.862 --> 00:05:57.032
  • To mount zion," amen.
  • 00:05:57.032 --> 00:06:02.737
  • "start preaching from the mercy seat,
  • 00:06:02.737 --> 00:06:06.141
  • Not from the judgment seat," amen.
  • 00:06:06.141 --> 00:06:12.314
  • And something else happened on the day of pentecost
  • 00:06:12.314 --> 00:06:15.517
  • When god poured out his spirit, that the church world
  • 00:06:15.517 --> 00:06:18.687
  • Has been still reticent to acknowledge or to accept.
  • 00:06:18.687 --> 00:06:24.025
  • All of them, all 120 of them in the upper room,
  • 00:06:24.025 --> 00:06:27.362
  • They were gathered there, and mary was there as well,
  • 00:06:27.362 --> 00:06:30.232
  • Mother of jesus.
  • 00:06:30.232 --> 00:06:31.833
  • They were all gathered there.
  • 00:06:31.833 --> 00:06:33.535
  • And the holy spirit came and they all began to speak
  • 00:06:33.535 --> 00:06:36.738
  • With other tongues,
  • 00:06:36.738 --> 00:06:38.673
  • "as the spirit gave them utterance," the bible says.
  • 00:06:38.673 --> 00:06:43.411
  • Now notice, they spoke, not the holy spirit.
  • 00:06:43.411 --> 00:06:46.681
  • A lot of people when they ask for the baptism
  • 00:06:46.681 --> 00:06:48.283
  • Of the holy spirit, their mouth is closed.
  • 00:06:48.283 --> 00:06:51.720
  • God never forces you.
  • 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:53.388
  • God never makes you.
  • 00:06:53.388 --> 00:06:57.125
  • You understand?
  • 00:06:57.125 --> 00:06:58.693
  • All right?
  • 00:06:58.693 --> 00:07:00.028
  • The law demands, grace supplies.
  • 00:07:00.028 --> 00:07:02.130
  • So the supply is there, the flow is there.
  • 00:07:02.130 --> 00:07:05.000
  • You open your mouth and let the flow out.
  • 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.403
  • It may be words unintelligible to you
  • 00:07:08.403 --> 00:07:10.906
  • And most of them are, all right?
  • 00:07:10.906 --> 00:07:12.974
  • You won't know what you're saying
  • 00:07:12.974 --> 00:07:14.309
  • But that's the beauty of it
  • 00:07:14.309 --> 00:07:15.644
  • Because for so long, your mind has been bullying you.
  • 00:07:15.644 --> 00:07:19.147
  • Your mind has reasoned you into depression, into a place
  • 00:07:19.147 --> 00:07:24.319
  • Where mentally you feel like you're losing it.
  • 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.655
  • Your mind, the way you're lodging it,
  • 00:07:26.655 --> 00:07:28.957
  • Making everything out to be your mind.
  • 00:07:28.957 --> 00:07:31.459
  • Unless i can understand, i will not believe.
  • 00:07:31.459 --> 00:07:33.895
  • Although there are many things you don't understand,
  • 00:07:33.895 --> 00:07:35.597
  • Yet you believe.
  • 00:07:35.597 --> 00:07:38.199
  • So here, okay, let's go right to the word.
  • 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.937
  • Actually, i've been teaching you the word
  • 00:07:41.937 --> 00:07:43.271
  • Throughout the whole thing, already.
  • 00:07:43.271 --> 00:07:44.906
  • Ephesians 6.
  • 00:07:44.906 --> 00:07:46.241
  • Look at the end of ephesians 6. that's where we left.
  • 00:07:46.241 --> 00:07:48.443
  • Because the rest of it, the pieces of the armor
  • 00:07:48.443 --> 00:07:50.579
  • Is all that you have received.
  • 00:07:50.579 --> 00:07:51.947
  • Remember that, amen?
  • 00:07:51.947 --> 00:07:53.281
  • You have--having put on, having girded your loin
  • 00:07:53.281 --> 00:07:57.285
  • With truth,
  • 00:07:57.285 --> 00:07:58.820
  • Having on the breastplate of, having on, past tense.
  • 00:07:58.820 --> 00:08:01.690
  • It's already done.
  • 00:08:01.690 --> 00:08:03.325
  • The breastplate of righteousness.
  • 00:08:03.325 --> 00:08:04.659
  • You are righteous by faith.
  • 00:08:04.659 --> 00:08:07.329
  • Put it on your chest, amen.
  • 00:08:07.329 --> 00:08:09.598
  • Because that's where the devil attacks your heart.
  • 00:08:09.598 --> 00:08:11.900
  • Diabolos in greek means an accuser, literally.
  • 00:08:11.900 --> 00:08:17.472
  • It's a court term, a prosecutor.
  • 00:08:17.472 --> 00:08:20.342
  • He finds faults with you.
  • 00:08:20.342 --> 00:08:21.676
  • So make sure you have
  • 00:08:21.676 --> 00:08:23.011
  • The breastplate of righteousness on.
  • 00:08:23.011 --> 00:08:24.346
  • This is not your righteousness.
  • 00:08:24.346 --> 00:08:25.680
  • If your righteousness-- it's your righteousness,
  • 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.549
  • The devil poke holes in your breastplate.
  • 00:08:27.549 --> 00:08:30.752
  • It is his righteousness that you are wearing.
  • 00:08:30.752 --> 00:08:33.455
  • Are you listening or not? you feel accused?
  • 00:08:33.455 --> 00:08:35.824
  • Confess under your breath: "i'm the righteousness of god
  • 00:08:35.824 --> 00:08:38.059
  • In christ."
  • 00:08:38.059 --> 00:08:39.394
  • And believe it.
  • 00:08:39.394 --> 00:08:40.729
  • That's what god looks at, okay?
  • 00:08:40.729 --> 00:08:43.264
  • So then, it says, "having your feet
  • 00:08:43.264 --> 00:08:46.001
  • Shod with the preparation
  • 00:08:46.001 --> 00:08:47.335
  • That comes from the gospel of peace, always ready.
  • 00:08:47.335 --> 00:08:50.338
  • A soldier must always be ready.
  • 00:08:50.338 --> 00:08:52.407
  • Never be caught by surprise, amen?
  • 00:08:52.407 --> 00:08:54.643
  • And then above all, taking up the shield of faith,
  • 00:08:54.643 --> 00:08:57.846
  • Actually having taken up the shield of faith
  • 00:08:57.846 --> 00:09:00.382
  • By which you quench all the fiery dust
  • 00:09:00.382 --> 00:09:01.716
  • Of the wicked.
  • 00:09:01.716 --> 00:09:03.051
  • The only thing you receive is this.
  • 00:09:03.051 --> 00:09:04.386
  • "and take--" the word "take" in the greek
  • 00:09:04.386 --> 00:09:05.720
  • Is actually receive.
  • 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.055
  • Receive the helmet of salvation, which is hope of salvation,
  • 00:09:07.055 --> 00:09:09.457
  • And the sword, the most offensive weapon.
  • 00:09:09.457 --> 00:09:12.894
  • The only offensive weapon of the entire--
  • 00:09:12.894 --> 00:09:15.830
  • The rest are all defensive.
  • 00:09:15.830 --> 00:09:17.165
  • This is offensive, right?
  • 00:09:17.165 --> 00:09:19.734
  • "and take up the sword of the spirit,
  • 00:09:19.734 --> 00:09:21.069
  • Which is the word of god;
  • 00:09:21.069 --> 00:09:22.404
  • Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit."
  • 00:09:22.404 --> 00:09:25.240
  • We look at the word "praying always"
  • 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:26.775
  • And we think that that's how it starts off,
  • 00:09:26.775 --> 00:09:29.477
  • Right, in the greek.
  • 00:09:29.477 --> 00:09:30.812
  • But in the greek, the word "dia" comes first.
  • 00:09:30.812 --> 00:09:33.848
  • And the word "dia," d-i-a, i just said d-i-a
  • 00:09:33.848 --> 00:09:37.652
  • But that's not how they write it, of course.
  • 00:09:37.652 --> 00:09:39.854
  • Dia means by means of, in--through.
  • 00:09:39.854 --> 00:09:43.091
  • And the one who actually is in its translation of the bible
  • 00:09:43.091 --> 00:09:47.662
  • That got it is young's.
  • 00:09:47.662 --> 00:09:49.364
  • Young's put it like this: "through all prayer."
  • 00:09:49.364 --> 00:09:52.534
  • Through or by means of all prayer.
  • 00:09:52.534 --> 00:09:55.370
  • So how do you receive the hammer of salvation?
  • 00:09:55.370 --> 00:09:58.039
  • How do you receive the sword of the spirit?
  • 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.476
  • So he gives us a language that we don't understand
  • 00:10:01.476 --> 00:10:06.815
  • Because we cannot wire trap ourselves.
  • 00:10:06.815 --> 00:10:08.516
  • Thus if we pray, for example, you pray for your son,
  • 00:10:08.516 --> 00:10:11.786
  • It transcends time and space.
  • 00:10:11.786 --> 00:10:14.789
  • It transcends time and space.
  • 00:10:14.789 --> 00:10:18.193
  • Why? you can pray for your future.
  • 00:10:18.193 --> 00:10:20.061
  • You can pray for your past where the trauma set in
  • 00:10:20.061 --> 00:10:23.398
  • And caused this fear that you have today.
  • 00:10:23.398 --> 00:10:25.967
  • That even psychiatrists will have to probe and probe
  • 00:10:25.967 --> 00:10:27.502
  • And probe and you have to pay
  • 00:10:27.502 --> 00:10:28.837
  • A lot of money to find.
  • 00:10:28.837 --> 00:10:30.271
  • And sometimes it's not even accurate.
  • 00:10:30.271 --> 00:10:31.906
  • It's not that problem, it's another problem.
  • 00:10:31.906 --> 00:10:33.541
  • But the holy spirit knows how to go back into your past,
  • 00:10:33.541 --> 00:10:36.211
  • Amen, and deal with it or go to your future.
  • 00:10:36.211 --> 00:10:39.748
  • Like for example, you're praying for your son, all right?
  • 00:10:39.748 --> 00:10:42.550
  • And you don't even know you're praying for your son
  • 00:10:42.550 --> 00:10:43.918
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:10:43.918 --> 00:10:45.253
  • You just sense there's a restlessness.
  • 00:10:45.253 --> 00:10:46.588
  • You need to pray.
  • 00:10:46.588 --> 00:10:47.922
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:10:47.922 --> 00:10:49.257
  • You're praying for your son, all right?
  • 00:10:49.257 --> 00:10:50.592
  • What you're praying for your son,
  • 00:10:50.592 --> 00:10:51.960
  • You don't even know.
  • 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:53.294
  • But you're praying for your son.
  • 00:10:53.294 --> 00:10:54.629
  • Tomorrow, wednesday, as he's crossing the road,
  • 00:10:54.629 --> 00:10:57.932
  • There is a man who is drunk during daytime.
  • 00:10:57.932 --> 00:11:01.402
  • He just had too much drink.
  • 00:11:01.402 --> 00:11:03.505
  • He's passing by that moment at the right time--wrong time.
  • 00:11:03.505 --> 00:11:08.777
  • And the prayer is saying, god protect the boy, hinder him
  • 00:11:08.777 --> 00:11:13.748
  • From crossing at that time.
  • 00:11:13.748 --> 00:11:16.618
  • A lot of deliverances that god gives us, we cannot even
  • 00:11:16.618 --> 00:11:19.754
  • Thank him for because we don't know.
  • 00:11:19.754 --> 00:11:22.290
  • We thank him for what we know.
  • 00:11:22.290 --> 00:11:24.659
  • He is under-thanked.
  • 00:11:24.659 --> 00:11:27.796
  • And we are under-thanking.
  • 00:11:27.796 --> 00:11:32.233
  • So we come together on sunday, we give him all the praise
  • 00:11:32.233 --> 00:11:34.769
  • And the worship, amen, for who he is
  • 00:11:34.769 --> 00:11:38.473
  • And for all that he's done, for all the things
  • 00:11:38.473 --> 00:11:40.675
  • That we know and the things that we don't know, amen?
  • 00:11:40.675 --> 00:11:47.215
  • Many years ago, our church, before this grace revolution
  • 00:11:47.215 --> 00:11:51.286
  • Happened in new creation church, in the early '90s,
  • 00:11:51.286 --> 00:11:54.889
  • I was preaching.
  • 00:11:54.889 --> 00:11:56.424
  • Those years are all those "pray in tongues" series.
  • 00:11:56.424 --> 00:12:01.996
  • You know what happened after a season
  • 00:12:01.996 --> 00:12:03.331
  • Of "pray in tongues"?
  • 00:12:03.331 --> 00:12:04.666
  • It launched forth the grace revolution in 1997.
  • 00:12:04.666 --> 00:12:11.005
  • That's why people under grace, when they pray in the spirit,
  • 00:12:11.005 --> 00:12:14.175
  • They understand grace.
  • 00:12:14.175 --> 00:12:16.211
  • Because grace, you cannot understand grace.
  • 00:12:16.211 --> 00:12:18.146
  • Grace is not logical. law is logical.
  • 00:12:18.146 --> 00:12:20.415
  • Do good, get good. do bad, get bad.
  • 00:12:20.415 --> 00:12:23.284
  • I understand that.
  • 00:12:23.284 --> 00:12:27.155
  • Everyone in the world understands that.
  • 00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:29.357
  • Do good, get good. even a child understands.
  • 00:12:29.357 --> 00:12:31.392
  • Don't have to teach your child. do good, you get good.
  • 00:12:31.392 --> 00:12:33.194
  • Do bad, what do you get? bad.
  • 00:12:33.194 --> 00:12:37.131
  • But you can receive good, you don't deserve--ah!
  • 00:12:37.131 --> 00:12:42.937
  • Amen?
  • 00:12:42.937 --> 00:12:44.806
  • We balk at that.
  • 00:12:44.806 --> 00:12:46.774
  • And anyone who preaches that, we don't understand,
  • 00:12:46.774 --> 00:12:48.676
  • So we assassinate him, his character, i mean.
  • 00:12:48.676 --> 00:12:52.013
  • My character has been assassinated.
  • 00:12:52.013 --> 00:12:53.381
  • I don't know why it gets stronger and stronger
  • 00:12:53.381 --> 00:12:55.617
  • By the grace of god.
  • 00:12:55.617 --> 00:12:58.519
  • Yeah, it seems like people throw rocks, right?
  • 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:04.559
  • And then this foundation just raise it higher.
  • 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.762
  • More people get to hear about me because of the criticism,
  • 00:13:07.762 --> 00:13:10.565
  • You know?
  • 00:13:10.565 --> 00:13:12.000
  • So i don't want to say welcome, okay?
  • 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.003
  • I just say, "let god be god."
  • 00:13:15.003 --> 00:13:20.541
  • What do i do?
  • 00:13:20.541 --> 00:13:21.876
  • I don't pay attention to those things.
  • 00:13:21.876 --> 00:13:23.678
  • I forgive the people involved.
  • 00:13:23.678 --> 00:13:25.213
  • Whenever i hear about someone, i forgive the person.
  • 00:13:25.213 --> 00:13:27.949
  • I even take communion for the person or persons.
  • 00:13:27.949 --> 00:13:31.419
  • I take communion for them.
  • 00:13:31.419 --> 00:13:33.021
  • But then you know what?
  • 00:13:33.021 --> 00:13:34.355
  • When i get up, i move on.
  • 00:13:34.355 --> 00:13:36.357
  • I move on, amen?
  • 00:13:36.357 --> 00:13:38.426
  • Because i know this calling from god.
  • 00:13:38.426 --> 00:13:41.362
  • You cannot understand grace.
  • 00:13:41.362 --> 00:13:42.697
  • You see, tell me you understand this or not.
  • 00:13:42.697 --> 00:13:46.034
  • Everyone that jesus healed, okay?
  • 00:13:46.034 --> 00:13:48.937
  • Matthew, mark, luke, and john,
  • 00:13:48.937 --> 00:13:50.371
  • You can see the healing of jesus's ministry.
  • 00:13:50.371 --> 00:13:52.340
  • Everyone that he healed in the gospels,
  • 00:13:52.340 --> 00:13:57.645
  • He never tell them-- he never compelled them
  • 00:13:57.645 --> 00:14:02.016
  • To follow him.
  • 00:14:02.016 --> 00:14:04.786
  • Yeah, he did tell some fishermen, "follow me,"
  • 00:14:04.786 --> 00:14:06.688
  • But he didn't heal them.
  • 00:14:06.688 --> 00:14:08.189
  • I know what you're thinking.
  • 00:14:08.189 --> 00:14:09.524
  • He did say, "follow me," the fishermen.
  • 00:14:09.524 --> 00:14:12.026
  • But everyone that he healed, he never used that as a pretext.
  • 00:14:12.026 --> 00:14:18.433
  • "now i heal you, uh?
  • 00:14:18.433 --> 00:14:19.901
  • Now you follow me."
  • 00:14:19.901 --> 00:14:22.370
  • Jesus never buys hearts.
  • 00:14:22.370 --> 00:14:27.108
  • He wins them by the attractiveness of grace.
  • 00:14:27.108 --> 00:14:33.648
  • I want to share with you a secret
  • 00:14:33.648 --> 00:14:35.216
  • Before you go, all right?
  • 00:14:35.216 --> 00:14:37.652
  • And you see with me now.
  • 00:14:37.652 --> 00:14:39.120
  • How did ephesians 6:18
  • 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.422
  • Talk about praying in the spirit?
  • 00:14:41.422 --> 00:14:43.191
  • "praying always with all prayer and supplication
  • 00:14:43.191 --> 00:14:45.526
  • In the spirit," right?
  • 00:14:45.526 --> 00:14:47.595
  • By the way, go back to young's verse.
  • 00:14:47.595 --> 00:14:48.997
  • Show them.
  • 00:14:48.997 --> 00:14:50.331
  • Young says: "through all prayer and supplication praying
  • 00:14:50.331 --> 00:14:53.134
  • At all times in the spirit."
  • 00:14:53.134 --> 00:14:55.036
  • So "at all times" is the word "kairos."
  • 00:14:55.036 --> 00:14:59.540
  • That means what?
  • 00:14:59.540 --> 00:15:00.875
  • Pray at every opportunity you get in the spirit.
  • 00:15:00.875 --> 00:15:03.044
  • Pray.
  • 00:15:03.044 --> 00:15:04.379
  • That's a gift that came on the day of pentecost.
  • 00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:06.347
  • Paul says, "i would that you all speak with tongues."
  • 00:15:06.347 --> 00:15:09.450
  • But in the church, he rather not everyone
  • 00:15:09.450 --> 00:15:12.086
  • Just pray in tongues out loud.
  • 00:15:12.086 --> 00:15:13.621
  • And that's the only time you pray.
  • 00:15:13.621 --> 00:15:15.223
  • Don't try to impress each other with your spirituality.
  • 00:15:15.223 --> 00:15:17.725
  • He's saying that.
  • 00:15:17.725 --> 00:15:19.060
  • But rather you speak words that people understand.
  • 00:15:19.060 --> 00:15:20.528
  • Yes, in the church.
  • 00:15:20.528 --> 00:15:21.863
  • Notice the words, these four words:
  • 00:15:21.863 --> 00:15:23.231
  • "yet in the church," i'd rather you speak.
  • 00:15:23.231 --> 00:15:25.800
  • But then he says what?
  • 00:15:25.800 --> 00:15:27.235
  • "forbid not to speak with tongues.
  • 00:15:27.235 --> 00:15:28.569
  • I would that you all speak with tongues."
  • 00:15:28.569 --> 00:15:29.937
  • Then paul says, "i pray in tongues more than you all."
  • 00:15:29.937 --> 00:15:33.708
  • Now, notice the word, "praying at all times
  • 00:15:33.708 --> 00:15:37.078
  • In the spirit."
  • 00:15:37.078 --> 00:15:38.413
  • I told you, "at all times" is "at all kairos,"
  • 00:15:38.413 --> 00:15:40.214
  • Every opportunity you get, amen?
  • 00:15:40.214 --> 00:15:43.584
  • Now, praying, notice what?
  • 00:15:43.584 --> 00:15:46.554
  • What prayer? prayer and supplication.
  • 00:15:46.554 --> 00:15:48.222
  • Keep those two in mind. prayer and what?
  • 00:15:48.222 --> 00:15:50.958
  • Prayer and?
  • 00:15:50.958 --> 00:15:52.293
  • But both are done in the spirit.
  • 00:15:52.293 --> 00:15:54.062
  • Now go back to the new king james,
  • 00:15:54.062 --> 00:15:56.531
  • And it says that "praying always with all prayer
  • 00:15:56.531 --> 00:15:58.266
  • And supplication."
  • 00:15:58.266 --> 00:15:59.600
  • Notice all prayer and supplication, all right?
  • 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:01.936
  • I'm going to give you the greek so you will hear this word
  • 00:16:01.936 --> 00:16:04.305
  • And get familiar with it.
  • 00:16:04.305 --> 00:16:05.640
  • So you know, if i mention it again, you will see it.
  • 00:16:05.640 --> 00:16:09.343
  • Prayer is proseuche.
  • 00:16:09.343 --> 00:16:11.946
  • Supplication is deesis.
  • 00:16:11.946 --> 00:16:13.881
  • Proseuche, deesis.
  • 00:16:13.881 --> 00:16:15.450
  • So you won't think that, "oh, it's only the same in english
  • 00:16:15.450 --> 00:16:17.885
  • But not in the original."
  • 00:16:17.885 --> 00:16:19.220
  • You will see it.
  • 00:16:19.220 --> 00:16:20.555
  • Just tuck it somewhere.
  • 00:16:20.555 --> 00:16:21.889
  • Proseuche, prayer, supplication, deesis.
  • 00:16:21.889 --> 00:16:24.325
  • Keep it, okay?
  • 00:16:24.325 --> 00:16:25.660
  • Notice the twins.
  • 00:16:25.660 --> 00:16:27.261
  • And both are done in the spirit.
  • 00:16:27.261 --> 00:16:29.464
  • Both are done what?
  • 00:16:29.464 --> 00:16:30.798
  • In the spirit.
  • 00:16:30.798 --> 00:16:32.133
  • Dimensions of prayer, okay?
  • 00:16:32.133 --> 00:16:35.636
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:16:35.636 --> 00:16:37.038
  • Now watch this.
  • 00:16:37.038 --> 00:16:38.372
  • Let's go to philippians chapter 4, verse 6:
  • 00:16:38.372 --> 00:16:41.876
  • "be anxious for nothing, but in everything by," what?
  • 00:16:41.876 --> 00:16:48.783
  • That is proseuche and deesis.
  • 00:16:48.783 --> 00:16:51.552
  • Exactly the same words used where?
  • 00:16:51.552 --> 00:16:55.957
  • In ephesians 6, for praying in tongues, okay?
  • 00:16:55.957 --> 00:17:02.330
  • Praying in the spirit.
  • 00:17:02.330 --> 00:17:03.698
  • So, "be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer
  • 00:17:03.698 --> 00:17:06.501
  • And supplication with thanksgiving," also,
  • 00:17:06.501 --> 00:17:10.505
  • The bible says, when someone invites you to dinner
  • 00:17:10.505 --> 00:17:13.908
  • Or whatever, all right?
  • 00:17:13.908 --> 00:17:16.177
  • The bible says, "pray in english."
  • 00:17:16.177 --> 00:17:19.580
  • It doesn't say english there, but pray
  • 00:17:19.580 --> 00:17:21.115
  • In your own known language
  • 00:17:21.115 --> 00:17:22.583
  • Because the guy you pray in tongues, it says this,
  • 00:17:22.583 --> 00:17:25.520
  • For truly you give thanks well.
  • 00:17:25.520 --> 00:17:28.189
  • One translation: you truly give thanks excellently.
  • 00:17:28.189 --> 00:17:32.627
  • That means if you pray in tongues,
  • 00:17:32.627 --> 00:17:33.961
  • It's giving thanks as well, excellently.
  • 00:17:33.961 --> 00:17:38.432
  • But it says, you truly give thanks well,
  • 00:17:38.432 --> 00:17:40.301
  • But the other is not edified.
  • 00:17:40.301 --> 00:17:41.636
  • Doesn't understand what you're saying.
  • 00:17:41.636 --> 00:17:43.271
  • Doesn't know when to say amen and start eating.
  • 00:17:43.271 --> 00:17:47.341
  • So when people ask you to pray over the food, don't go
  • 00:17:47.341 --> 00:17:50.545
  • [speaking in tongues] amen?
  • 00:17:50.545 --> 00:17:55.316
  • The guy is--all right?
  • 00:17:55.316 --> 00:17:58.152
  • You will see a flying fork hit pastor mark.
  • 00:17:58.152 --> 00:18:04.058
  • And the wife says, "darling, it's not your fault.
  • 00:18:04.058 --> 00:18:06.727
  • It is the fork," okay?
  • 00:18:06.727 --> 00:18:12.500
  • So it says: "let your requests be made known to god;
  • 00:18:12.500 --> 00:18:16.504
  • And the peace of god,
  • 00:18:16.504 --> 00:18:17.838
  • Which surpasses all understanding,
  • 00:18:17.838 --> 00:18:19.273
  • Will guard your hearts and minds through christ jesus."
  • 00:18:19.273 --> 00:18:24.679
  • Now we all want the peace of god to guard our hearts and minds.
  • 00:18:24.679 --> 00:18:27.548
  • The word "guard" is a very strong military word that's used
  • 00:18:27.548 --> 00:18:30.818
  • In the greek over here.
  • 00:18:30.818 --> 00:18:32.620
  • It means a military garrison guarding your heart and mind
  • 00:18:32.620 --> 00:18:38.993
  • From all fears, worries, anxieties which cause--
  • 00:18:38.993 --> 00:18:42.997
  • These thoughts will cause you to go
  • 00:18:42.997 --> 00:18:45.466
  • Into a spiral of oppression, depression.
  • 00:18:45.466 --> 00:18:51.239
  • Pray in the spirit.
  • 00:18:51.239 --> 00:18:53.708
  • "let your requests be made known to god."
  • 00:18:53.708 --> 00:18:55.876
  • Now this word, "requests be made known to god" sounds passive.
  • 00:18:55.876 --> 00:19:01.849
  • It's not like you are making every anxious request
  • 00:19:01.849 --> 00:19:05.486
  • That you have, request about anxiety, to god.
  • 00:19:05.486 --> 00:19:08.522
  • No, it is being made known to god by someone.
  • 00:19:08.522 --> 00:19:11.592
  • Now i'm going to show you the greek right now.
  • 00:19:11.592 --> 00:19:13.394
  • The greek for this one
  • 00:19:13.394 --> 00:19:15.029
  • Is actually
  • 00:19:15.029 --> 00:19:16.664
  • Present passive imperative.
  • 00:19:16.664 --> 00:19:19.567
  • Passive, not active.
  • 00:19:19.567 --> 00:19:21.502
  • Present passive imperative.
  • 00:19:21.502 --> 00:19:23.871
  • That means you are not the one making known.
  • 00:19:23.871 --> 00:19:26.941
  • If it's you making known,
  • 00:19:29.610 --> 00:19:30.945
  • Like your part is this:
  • 00:19:30.945 --> 00:19:32.280
  • Be anxious for nothing.
  • 00:19:32.280 --> 00:19:34.148
  • That is active voice.
  • 00:19:34.148 --> 00:19:39.420
  • So what do you do? you pray.
  • 00:19:39.420 --> 00:19:41.889
  • Your part is to pray in the spirit and the spirit
  • 00:19:41.889 --> 00:19:45.326
  • Makes known to god.
  • 00:19:45.326 --> 00:19:47.295
  • Now, when you pray in tongues, but then every day,
  • 00:19:47.295 --> 00:19:50.564
  • How do you maintain it?
  • 00:19:50.564 --> 00:19:51.932
  • The spirit-filled, constant filling.
  • 00:19:51.932 --> 00:19:53.834
  • In ephesians, it says: "be being filled
  • 00:19:53.834 --> 00:19:56.871
  • With the spirit."
  • 00:19:56.871 --> 00:19:58.739
  • Passive imperative.
  • 00:19:58.739 --> 00:20:01.242
  • Again, present passive imperative.
  • 00:20:01.242 --> 00:20:03.110
  • In other words, you are not actively filling yourself.
  • 00:20:03.110 --> 00:20:06.881
  • You are not the player here.
  • 00:20:06.881 --> 00:20:10.451
  • You are singing. that's you.
  • 00:20:10.451 --> 00:20:12.920
  • You are just singing.
  • 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:14.288
  • It says: "speaking to yourself," next line, "in psalms, hymns
  • 00:20:14.288 --> 00:20:17.591
  • And spiritual songs."
  • 00:20:17.591 --> 00:20:18.926
  • That's you singing, you know, praise the lord.
  • 00:20:18.926 --> 00:20:21.329
  • "[singing] i sing praises to your name, o lord.
  • 00:20:21.329 --> 00:20:25.733
  • Blessed be the lord, god almighty."
  • 00:20:25.733 --> 00:20:30.338
  • I tell you, on your way to work, when you sing like that
  • 00:20:30.338 --> 00:20:33.441
  • Even under your breath whether you're in an mrt
  • 00:20:33.441 --> 00:20:36.077
  • Or in your vehicle on your way there,
  • 00:20:36.077 --> 00:20:38.346
  • It changes everything.
  • 00:20:38.346 --> 00:20:39.714
  • You know why?
  • 00:20:39.714 --> 00:20:41.048
  • Because you are being filled with the spirit.
  • 00:20:41.048 --> 00:20:42.750
  • But notice you are being filled.
  • 00:20:42.750 --> 00:20:45.219
  • It's passive.
  • 00:20:45.219 --> 00:20:47.621
  • So same thing here.
  • 00:20:47.621 --> 00:20:49.023
  • When you are praying in tongues and prayer and supplication
  • 00:20:49.023 --> 00:20:51.992
  • We have established, again, the proof is there.
  • 00:20:51.992 --> 00:20:54.995
  • From the same word,
  • 00:20:54.995 --> 00:20:56.964
  • Proseuche deesis,
  • 00:20:56.964 --> 00:20:58.299
  • Prayer and supplication in the spirit.
  • 00:20:58.299 --> 00:21:00.601
  • Although the word "in the spirit" is not here,
  • 00:21:00.601 --> 00:21:02.536
  • It's the same thing because bible interpret bible.
  • 00:21:02.536 --> 00:21:05.639
  • When these two things appear together, are you listening?
  • 00:21:05.639 --> 00:21:08.442
  • And then not only that,
  • 00:21:08.442 --> 00:21:09.777
  • This "be made known"
  • 00:21:09.777 --> 00:21:11.245
  • Is not you making known.
  • 00:21:11.245 --> 00:21:13.948
  • If it is you making known, it's active.
  • 00:21:13.948 --> 00:21:15.983
  • This one is passive.
  • 00:21:15.983 --> 00:21:17.518
  • Okay, so in the middle of the night,
  • 00:21:17.585 --> 00:21:19.653
  • You have this pain or you have a worry
  • 00:21:19.653 --> 00:21:21.255
  • Or whatever and your stomach is like, you know,
  • 00:21:21.255 --> 00:21:25.359
  • Butterflies in your stomach, okay?
  • 00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:27.161
  • You're feeling knots down there.
  • 00:21:27.161 --> 00:21:29.029
  • What do you do?
  • 00:21:29.029 --> 00:21:30.664
  • Now, some people say, "get up, get down,
  • 00:21:30.664 --> 00:21:33.367
  • Cast your cares to the lord.
  • 00:21:33.367 --> 00:21:34.702
  • Just cast your cares."
  • 00:21:34.702 --> 00:21:36.036
  • That's fine. i'm not knocking that.
  • 00:21:36.036 --> 00:21:37.605
  • You can use that as a prime-- as one of the use of the--
  • 00:21:37.605 --> 00:21:40.941
  • But i believe the primary word here written to people
  • 00:21:40.941 --> 00:21:44.678
  • In the new testament, people who understand about
  • 00:21:44.678 --> 00:21:46.647
  • Praying in tongues because it's rampant in the early church.
  • 00:21:46.647 --> 00:21:49.083
  • They pray in tongues all the time.
  • 00:21:49.083 --> 00:21:51.318
  • So they understood paul when he says
  • 00:21:51.318 --> 00:21:52.686
  • By prayer and supplication.
  • 00:21:52.686 --> 00:21:54.288
  • So what they do when they are anxious,
  • 00:21:54.288 --> 00:21:55.823
  • You just say this to the lord:
  • 00:21:55.823 --> 00:21:57.258
  • "lord, i do not know how to pray for this condition."
  • 00:21:57.258 --> 00:21:59.226
  • You know there's a verse in romans 8, verse 26:
  • 00:21:59.226 --> 00:22:02.129
  • "likewise, the holy spirit helps us in our weakness.
  • 00:22:02.129 --> 00:22:06.500
  • For we do not know how to pray as we ought."
  • 00:22:06.500 --> 00:22:08.936
  • Come on, come on, come on, amen?
  • 00:22:08.936 --> 00:22:12.039
  • So how many realize that many of us,
  • 00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:13.441
  • We don't know how to pray as we ought?
  • 00:22:13.441 --> 00:22:15.209
  • It's only pastor mark, amen, and pastor lawrence.
  • 00:22:15.209 --> 00:22:19.580
  • The rest of us humans, we don't know how to pray
  • 00:22:19.580 --> 00:22:24.518
  • As we ought, right?
  • 00:22:24.518 --> 00:22:25.853
  • Am i right or not?
  • 00:22:25.853 --> 00:22:27.188
  • So, we need the holy spirit, amen?
  • 00:22:27.188 --> 00:22:29.557
  • But don't forget the holy spirit is god himself.
  • 00:22:29.557 --> 00:22:32.693
  • And he's been sent, one of his offices today
  • 00:22:32.693 --> 00:22:37.598
  • Is to be our helper, amen.
  • 00:22:37.598 --> 00:22:40.401
  • The one who comes alongside and helps us, amen.
  • 00:22:40.401 --> 00:22:43.604
  • Now the holy spirit don't make the praying for you.
  • 00:22:43.604 --> 00:22:45.806
  • It says, "likewise," romans 8.26.
  • 00:22:45.806 --> 00:22:47.842
  • "likewise the spirit helpeth."
  • 00:22:47.842 --> 00:22:49.176
  • The word "helpeth" is the word "sun"
  • 00:22:49.176 --> 00:22:51.445
  • In front in the greek,
  • 00:22:51.445 --> 00:22:52.780
  • Which means join together, join helper.
  • 00:22:52.780 --> 00:22:55.850
  • You must still pray.
  • 00:22:55.850 --> 00:22:57.218
  • He'll give you the words.
  • 00:22:57.218 --> 00:22:59.720
  • So i tell justin, even funny words come up.
  • 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:01.889
  • Just say it as you're praying in the spirit, amen.

  • You've asked for it.

  • Right now in the name of jesus, receive the holy spirit.
  • 00:23:46.267 --> 00:23:50.471
