Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - How to Break the Spiral of Fear and Depression | February 8, 2026
  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.311
  • Joseph prince: we all want the peace of god to guard
  • 00:00:12.956 --> 00:00:14.958
  • Our hearts and minds.
  • 00:00:15.091 --> 00:00:16.292
  • The word "guard" is a very strong military word
  • 00:00:16.426 --> 00:00:18.094
  • That's used in the greek over here.
  • 00:00:18.194 --> 00:00:21.231
  • It means a military garrison guarding your heart and mind
  • 00:00:21.364 --> 00:00:23.266
  • From all fears, worries, anxieties which cause--
  • 00:00:27.237 --> 00:00:31.207
  • These thoughts will cause you to go into
  • 00:00:31.207 --> 00:00:33.576
  • A spiral of oppression, depression.
  • 00:00:33.576 --> 00:00:37.714
  • Pray in the spirit.
  • 00:00:37.714 --> 00:00:39.782
  • Let your requests be made known to god.
  • 00:00:39.782 --> 00:00:42.051
  • Now this word, "requests be made known to god" sounds passive.
  • 00:00:42.051 --> 00:00:48.057
  • It's not like you are making every anxious request
  • 00:00:48.057 --> 00:00:51.561
  • That you have, request about anxiety, to god.
  • 00:00:51.561 --> 00:00:54.664
  • No, it is being made known to god by someone.
  • 00:00:54.664 --> 00:00:57.500
  • If it's you making known, like your part is this:
  • 00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.503
  • Be anxious for nothing.
  • 00:01:00.503 --> 00:01:02.372
  • That is active voice.
  • 00:01:02.372 --> 00:01:05.275
  • So what do you do? you pray.
  • 00:01:05.275 --> 00:01:07.744
  • Your part is to pray in the spirit and the spirit
  • 00:01:07.744 --> 00:01:11.147
  • Makes known to god.
  • 00:01:11.147 --> 00:01:12.949
  • "be made known" is not you making known.
  • 00:01:12.949 --> 00:01:16.152
  • If it is you making known, it's active.
  • 00:01:16.152 --> 00:01:17.954
  • This one is passive.
  • 00:01:17.954 --> 00:01:19.756
  • Now, when you pray in tongues, but then every day,
  • 00:01:19.756 --> 00:01:22.725
  • How do you maintain it?
  • 00:01:22.725 --> 00:01:24.260
  • The spirit-filled, constant filling.
  • 00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:25.828
  • In ephesians, it says: "be being filled
  • 00:01:25.828 --> 00:01:29.165
  • With the spirit."
  • 00:01:29.165 --> 00:01:31.201
  • Passive imperative.
  • 00:01:31.201 --> 00:01:33.536
  • Again, present passive imperative.
  • 00:01:33.536 --> 00:01:35.505
  • In other words, you are not actively filling yourself.
  • 00:01:35.505 --> 00:01:39.375
  • You are not the player here.
  • 00:01:39.375 --> 00:01:40.977
  • You just say this to the lord:
  • 00:01:40.977 --> 00:01:42.312
  • "lord, i do not know how to pray for this condition."
  • 00:01:42.312 --> 00:01:43.947
  • Do you know there's a verse in romans 8, verse 26:
  • 00:01:43.947 --> 00:01:47.050
  • "likewise, the holy spirit helps us in our weakness
  • 00:01:47.050 --> 00:01:51.221
  • For we do not know how to pray as we ought."
  • 00:01:51.221 --> 00:01:53.623
  • Come on, come on, come on, amen?
  • 00:01:53.623 --> 00:01:56.826
  • So how many realize that many of us,
  • 00:01:56.826 --> 00:01:58.394
  • We don't know how to pray as we ought?
  • 00:01:58.394 --> 00:01:59.729
  • All right, we don't know how to pray as we ought, right?
  • 00:01:59.729 --> 00:02:01.931
  • Am i right now?
  • 00:02:01.931 --> 00:02:03.266
  • So we need the holy spirit, amen?
  • 00:02:03.266 --> 00:02:05.735
  • Let your requests be made known to god
  • 00:02:05.735 --> 00:02:08.538
  • And the peace of god which surpasses
  • 00:02:08.538 --> 00:02:10.473
  • All understanding will guard your hearts and minds
  • 00:02:10.473 --> 00:02:13.509
  • Through christ jesus.
  • 00:02:13.509 --> 00:02:15.812
  • Announcer: the world says you need a ten-step plan,
  • 00:02:15.878 --> 00:02:18.514
  • But jesus says,
  • 00:02:18.514 --> 00:02:19.916
  • "just sit at my feet and receive my word."
  • 00:02:19.916 --> 00:02:22.986
  • In today's message, joseph prince opens up
  • 00:02:22.986 --> 00:02:25.154
  • The scriptures to reveal god's plan for you
  • 00:02:25.154 --> 00:02:27.490
  • To live in rest and victory.
  • 00:02:27.490 --> 00:02:29.792
  • Ten must-do exercises, 50 must-eat foods,
  • 00:02:29.792 --> 00:02:33.963
  • One hundred must-read books.
  • 00:02:33.963 --> 00:02:35.732
  • With so much advice out there, how do you know
  • 00:02:35.732 --> 00:02:38.134
  • What really helps?
  • 00:02:38.134 --> 00:02:39.836
  • What if there's a better way?
  • 00:02:39.836 --> 00:02:41.704
  • Not self-help, but god's help.
  • 00:02:41.704 --> 00:02:44.607
  • Because the bible tells us that in times of need,
  • 00:02:44.607 --> 00:02:46.976

  • Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:03:30.086 --> 00:03:32.555
  • With today's program.
  • 00:03:32.555 --> 00:03:33.923
  • Joseph prince: the gospel is not preaching the law.
  • 00:03:33.923 --> 00:03:37.593
  • It is preaching grace, the finished work.
  • 00:03:37.593 --> 00:03:41.564
  • The law is good, but it cannot make you good.
  • 00:03:41.564 --> 00:03:44.367
  • The law is holy; no one can be holy through the law.
  • 00:03:44.367 --> 00:03:47.770
  • So we are no more on mount sinai when god gave to israel
  • 00:03:47.770 --> 00:03:52.308
  • The ten commandments.
  • 00:03:52.308 --> 00:03:54.077
  • And israel is the only one that god gave
  • 00:03:54.077 --> 00:03:56.112
  • The ten commandments.
  • 00:03:56.112 --> 00:03:57.447
  • The rest of us, the bible says, every man has in his conscience
  • 00:03:57.447 --> 00:04:00.750
  • The work of the lord written in their conscience.
  • 00:04:00.750 --> 00:04:03.820
  • But israel was given the ten commandments
  • 00:04:03.820 --> 00:04:06.589
  • On mount sinai, okay?
  • 00:04:06.589 --> 00:04:08.691
  • Say mount sinai.
  • 00:04:08.691 --> 00:04:10.326
  • Yeah, this is mount sinai in saudi arabia today, okay?
  • 00:04:10.326 --> 00:04:14.564
  • Mount sinai, not the hospital, okay?
  • 00:04:14.564 --> 00:04:20.703
  • So when god gave the ten commandments,
  • 00:04:20.703 --> 00:04:22.305
  • What happened to the men down there?
  • 00:04:22.305 --> 00:04:24.741
  • They all died.
  • 00:04:24.741 --> 00:04:26.642
  • Okay, got it?
  • 00:04:26.642 --> 00:04:28.010
  • And the jewish people tell us that is the feast of pentecost.
  • 00:04:28.010 --> 00:04:31.948
  • Pentecost means 50.
  • 00:04:31.948 --> 00:04:33.549
  • Like you say, pentecostal, the 50th day.
  • 00:04:33.549 --> 00:04:36.819
  • It's the 5th day, amen.
  • 00:04:36.819 --> 00:04:39.055
  • The 50th day from passover: pentecost.
  • 00:04:39.055 --> 00:04:42.558
  • God gave the law and 3000 people died.
  • 00:04:42.558 --> 00:04:47.663
  • Fast forward to the new covenant:
  • 00:04:47.663 --> 00:04:49.665
  • In the upper room the disciples were gathered,
  • 00:04:49.665 --> 00:04:52.268
  • The 11 apostles, and they had to choose someone
  • 00:04:52.268 --> 00:04:55.538
  • To replace judas and then they were all
  • 00:04:55.538 --> 00:04:57.907
  • In the upper room.
  • 00:04:57.907 --> 00:04:59.242
  • And the bible says this upper room is at mount zion, okay?
  • 00:04:59.242 --> 00:05:05.381
  • Say mount zion.
  • 00:05:05.381 --> 00:05:07.617
  • It's at mount zion.
  • 00:05:07.617 --> 00:05:09.218
  • And on the day of pentecost, and it's so telling
  • 00:05:09.218 --> 00:05:12.121
  • Because acts 2 says in verse 1:
  • 00:05:12.121 --> 00:05:14.557
  • When the day of pentecost was fully come,
  • 00:05:14.557 --> 00:05:17.560
  • God waited because the law was given
  • 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.896
  • On the first feast of pentecost.
  • 00:05:19.896 --> 00:05:22.365
  • Under grace, god waited until the day of pentecost came,
  • 00:05:22.365 --> 00:05:26.402
  • Which they celebrated.
  • 00:05:26.402 --> 00:05:27.737
  • And they were all gathered together.
  • 00:05:27.737 --> 00:05:29.105
  • It was very crowded in jerusalem because a lot of people
  • 00:05:29.105 --> 00:05:31.207
  • Came to celebrate pentecost.
  • 00:05:31.207 --> 00:05:33.142
  • This time, god gave what?
  • 00:05:33.142 --> 00:05:34.610
  • The spirit, not the law.
  • 00:05:34.610 --> 00:05:37.413
  • And paul--peter went out and preached
  • 00:05:37.413 --> 00:05:39.615
  • And 3000 people got saved.
  • 00:05:39.615 --> 00:05:41.951
  • So when the law was given, 3000 people died.
  • 00:05:41.951 --> 00:05:44.954
  • When grace was given, when the spirit was given,
  • 00:05:44.954 --> 00:05:48.858
  • 3000 people were saved.
  • 00:05:48.858 --> 00:05:52.361
  • So god said to me a long time ago,
  • 00:05:52.361 --> 00:05:53.863
  • "move your pulpit from mount sinai
  • 00:05:53.863 --> 00:05:57.033
  • To mount zion," amen.
  • 00:05:57.033 --> 00:06:02.738
  • "start preaching from the mercy seat,
  • 00:06:02.738 --> 00:06:06.142
  • Not from the judgment seat," amen.
  • 00:06:06.142 --> 00:06:12.315
  • And something else happened on the day of pentecost
  • 00:06:12.315 --> 00:06:15.518
  • When god poured out his spirit, that the church world
  • 00:06:15.518 --> 00:06:18.688
  • Has been still reticent to acknowledge or to accept.
  • 00:06:18.688 --> 00:06:24.026
  • All of them, all 120 of them in the upper room,
  • 00:06:24.026 --> 00:06:27.363
  • They were gathered there, and mary was there as well,
  • 00:06:27.363 --> 00:06:30.233
  • Mother of jesus.
  • 00:06:30.233 --> 00:06:31.834
  • They were all gathered there.
  • 00:06:31.834 --> 00:06:33.536
  • And the holy spirit came and they all began to speak
  • 00:06:33.536 --> 00:06:36.739
  • With other tongues,
  • 00:06:36.739 --> 00:06:38.674
  • "as the spirit gave them utterance," the bible says.
  • 00:06:38.674 --> 00:06:43.412
  • Now notice, they spoke, not the holy spirit.
  • 00:06:43.412 --> 00:06:46.682
  • A lot of people when they ask for the baptism
  • 00:06:46.682 --> 00:06:48.284
  • Of the holy spirit, their mouth is closed.
  • 00:06:48.284 --> 00:06:51.721
  • God never forces you.
  • 00:06:51.721 --> 00:06:53.389
  • God never makes you.
  • 00:06:53.389 --> 00:06:57.126
  • You understand?
  • 00:06:57.126 --> 00:06:58.694
  • All right?
  • 00:06:58.694 --> 00:07:00.029
  • The law demands, grace supplies.
  • 00:07:00.029 --> 00:07:02.131
  • So the supply is there, the flow is there.
  • 00:07:02.131 --> 00:07:05.001
  • You open your mouth and let the flow out.
  • 00:07:05.001 --> 00:07:08.404
  • It may be words unintelligible to you
  • 00:07:08.404 --> 00:07:10.907
  • And most of them are, all right?
  • 00:07:10.907 --> 00:07:12.975
  • You won't know what you're saying
  • 00:07:12.975 --> 00:07:14.310
  • But that's the beauty of it
  • 00:07:14.310 --> 00:07:15.645
  • Because for so long, your mind has been bullying you.
  • 00:07:15.645 --> 00:07:19.148
  • Your mind has reasoned you into depression, into a place
  • 00:07:19.148 --> 00:07:24.320
  • Where mentally you feel like you're losing it.
  • 00:07:24.320 --> 00:07:26.656
  • Your mind, the way you're lodging it,
  • 00:07:26.656 --> 00:07:28.958
  • Making everything out to be your mind.
  • 00:07:28.958 --> 00:07:31.460
  • Unless i can understand, i will not believe.
  • 00:07:31.460 --> 00:07:33.896
  • Although there are many things you don't understand,
  • 00:07:33.896 --> 00:07:35.598
  • Yet you believe.
  • 00:07:35.598 --> 00:07:38.200
  • So here, okay, let's go right to the word.
  • 00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:41.938
  • Actually, i've been teaching you the word
  • 00:07:41.938 --> 00:07:43.272
  • Throughout the whole thing, already.
  • 00:07:43.272 --> 00:07:44.907
  • Ephesians 6.
  • 00:07:44.907 --> 00:07:46.242
  • Look at the end of ephesians 6. that's where we left.
  • 00:07:46.242 --> 00:07:48.444
  • Because the rest of it, the pieces of the armor
  • 00:07:48.444 --> 00:07:50.580
  • Is all that you have received.
  • 00:07:50.580 --> 00:07:51.948
  • Remember that, amen?
  • 00:07:51.948 --> 00:07:53.282
  • You have--having put on, having girded your loin
  • 00:07:53.282 --> 00:07:57.286
  • With truth,
  • 00:07:57.286 --> 00:07:58.821
  • Having on the breastplate of, having on, past tense.
  • 00:07:58.821 --> 00:08:01.691
  • It's already done.
  • 00:08:01.691 --> 00:08:03.326
  • The breastplate of righteousness.
  • 00:08:03.326 --> 00:08:04.660
  • You are righteous by faith.
  • 00:08:04.660 --> 00:08:07.330
  • Put it on your chest, amen.
  • 00:08:07.330 --> 00:08:09.599
  • Because that's where the devil attacks your heart.
  • 00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:11.901
  • Diabolos in greek means an accuser, literally.
  • 00:08:11.901 --> 00:08:17.473
  • It's a court term, a prosecutor.
  • 00:08:17.473 --> 00:08:20.343
  • He finds faults with you.
  • 00:08:20.343 --> 00:08:21.677
  • So make sure you have
  • 00:08:21.677 --> 00:08:23.012
  • The breastplate of righteousness on.
  • 00:08:23.012 --> 00:08:24.347
  • This is not your righteousness.
  • 00:08:24.347 --> 00:08:25.681
  • If your righteousness-- it's your righteousness,
  • 00:08:25.681 --> 00:08:27.550
  • The devil poke holes in your breastplate.
  • 00:08:27.550 --> 00:08:30.753
  • It is his righteousness that you are wearing.
  • 00:08:30.753 --> 00:08:33.456
  • Are you listening or not? you feel accused?
  • 00:08:33.456 --> 00:08:35.825
  • Confess under your breath: "i'm the righteousness of god
  • 00:08:35.825 --> 00:08:38.060
  • In christ."
  • 00:08:38.060 --> 00:08:39.395
  • And believe it.
  • 00:08:39.395 --> 00:08:40.730
  • That's what god looks at, okay?
  • 00:08:40.730 --> 00:08:43.265
  • So then, it says, "having your feet
  • 00:08:43.265 --> 00:08:46.002
  • Shod with the preparation
  • 00:08:46.002 --> 00:08:47.336
  • That comes from the gospel of peace, always ready.
  • 00:08:47.336 --> 00:08:50.339
  • A soldier must always be ready.
  • 00:08:50.339 --> 00:08:52.408
  • Never be caught by surprise, amen?
  • 00:08:52.408 --> 00:08:54.644
  • And then above all, taking up the shield of faith,
  • 00:08:54.644 --> 00:08:57.847
  • Actually having taken up the shield of faith
  • 00:08:57.847 --> 00:09:00.383
  • By which you quench all the fiery dust
  • 00:09:00.383 --> 00:09:01.717
  • Of the wicked.
  • 00:09:01.717 --> 00:09:03.052
  • The only thing you receive is this.
  • 00:09:03.052 --> 00:09:04.387
  • "and take--" the word "take" in the greek
  • 00:09:04.387 --> 00:09:05.721
  • Is actually receive.
  • 00:09:05.721 --> 00:09:07.056
  • Receive the helmet of salvation, which is hope of salvation,
  • 00:09:07.056 --> 00:09:09.458
  • And the sword, the most offensive weapon.
  • 00:09:09.458 --> 00:09:12.895
  • The only offensive weapon of the entire--
  • 00:09:12.895 --> 00:09:15.831
  • The rest are all defensive.
  • 00:09:15.831 --> 00:09:17.166
  • This is offensive, right?
  • 00:09:17.166 --> 00:09:19.735
  • "and take up the sword of the spirit,
  • 00:09:19.735 --> 00:09:21.070
  • Which is the word of god;
  • 00:09:21.070 --> 00:09:22.405
  • Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit."
  • 00:09:22.405 --> 00:09:25.241
  • We look at the word "praying always"
  • 00:09:25.241 --> 00:09:26.776
  • And we think that that's how it starts off,
  • 00:09:26.776 --> 00:09:29.478
  • Right, in the greek.
  • 00:09:29.478 --> 00:09:30.813
  • But in the greek, the word "dia" comes first.
  • 00:09:30.813 --> 00:09:33.849
  • And the word "dia," d-i-a, i just said d-i-a
  • 00:09:33.849 --> 00:09:37.653
  • But that's not how they write it, of course.
  • 00:09:37.653 --> 00:09:39.855
  • Dia means by means of, in--through.
  • 00:09:39.855 --> 00:09:43.092
  • And the one who actually is in its translation of the bible
  • 00:09:43.092 --> 00:09:47.663
  • That got it is young's.
  • 00:09:47.663 --> 00:09:49.365
  • Young's put it like this: "through all prayer."
  • 00:09:49.365 --> 00:09:52.535
  • Through or by means of all prayer.
  • 00:09:52.535 --> 00:09:55.371
  • So how do you receive the hammer of salvation?
  • 00:09:55.371 --> 00:09:58.040
  • How do you receive the sword of the spirit?
  • 00:09:58.040 --> 00:10:01.477
  • So he gives us a language that we don't understand
  • 00:10:01.477 --> 00:10:06.816
  • Because we cannot wire trap ourselves.
  • 00:10:06.816 --> 00:10:08.517
  • Thus if we pray, for example, you pray for your son,
  • 00:10:08.517 --> 00:10:11.787
  • It transcends time and space.
  • 00:10:11.787 --> 00:10:14.790
  • It transcends time and space.
  • 00:10:14.790 --> 00:10:18.194
  • Why? you can pray for your future.
  • 00:10:18.194 --> 00:10:20.062
  • You can pray for your past where the trauma set in
  • 00:10:20.062 --> 00:10:23.399
  • And caused this fear that you have today.
  • 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.968
  • That even psychiatrists will have to probe and probe
  • 00:10:25.968 --> 00:10:27.503
  • And probe and you have to pay
  • 00:10:27.503 --> 00:10:28.838
  • A lot of money to find.
  • 00:10:28.838 --> 00:10:30.272
  • And sometimes it's not even accurate.
  • 00:10:30.272 --> 00:10:31.907
  • It's not that problem, it's another problem.
  • 00:10:31.907 --> 00:10:33.542
  • But the holy spirit knows how to go back into your past,
  • 00:10:33.542 --> 00:10:36.212
  • Amen, and deal with it or go to your future.
  • 00:10:36.212 --> 00:10:39.749
  • Like for example, you're praying for your son, all right?
  • 00:10:39.749 --> 00:10:42.551
  • And you don't even know you're praying for your son
  • 00:10:42.551 --> 00:10:43.919
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.254
  • You just sense there's a restlessness.
  • 00:10:45.254 --> 00:10:46.589
  • You need to pray.
  • 00:10:46.589 --> 00:10:47.923
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:10:47.923 --> 00:10:49.258
  • You're praying for your son, all right?
  • 00:10:49.258 --> 00:10:50.593
  • What you're praying for your son,
  • 00:10:50.593 --> 00:10:51.961
  • You don't even know.
  • 00:10:51.961 --> 00:10:53.295
  • But you're praying for your son.
  • 00:10:53.295 --> 00:10:54.630
  • Tomorrow, wednesday, as he's crossing the road,
  • 00:10:54.630 --> 00:10:57.933
  • There is a man who is drunk during daytime.
  • 00:10:57.933 --> 00:11:01.403
  • He just had too much drink.
  • 00:11:01.403 --> 00:11:03.506
  • He's passing by that moment at the right time--wrong time.
  • 00:11:03.506 --> 00:11:08.778
  • And the prayer is saying, god protect the boy, hinder him
  • 00:11:08.778 --> 00:11:13.749
  • From crossing at that time.
  • 00:11:13.749 --> 00:11:16.619
  • A lot of deliverances that god gives us, we cannot even
  • 00:11:16.619 --> 00:11:19.755
  • Thank him for because we don't know.
  • 00:11:19.755 --> 00:11:22.291
  • We thank him for what we know.
  • 00:11:22.291 --> 00:11:24.660
  • He is under-thanked.
  • 00:11:24.660 --> 00:11:27.797
  • And we are under-thanking.
  • 00:11:27.797 --> 00:11:32.234
  • So we come together on sunday, we give him all the praise
  • 00:11:32.234 --> 00:11:34.770
  • And the worship, amen, for who he is
  • 00:11:34.770 --> 00:11:38.474
  • And for all that he's done, for all the things
  • 00:11:38.474 --> 00:11:40.676
  • That we know and the things that we don't know, amen?
  • 00:11:40.676 --> 00:11:47.216
  • Many years ago, our church, before this grace revolution
  • 00:11:47.216 --> 00:11:51.287
  • Happened in new creation church, in the early '90s,
  • 00:11:51.287 --> 00:11:54.890
  • I was preaching.
  • 00:11:54.890 --> 00:11:56.425
  • Those years are all those "pray in tongues" series.
  • 00:11:56.425 --> 00:12:01.997
  • You know what happened after a season
  • 00:12:01.997 --> 00:12:03.332
  • Of "pray in tongues"?
  • 00:12:03.332 --> 00:12:04.667
  • It launched forth the grace revolution in 1997.
  • 00:12:04.667 --> 00:12:11.006
  • That's why people under grace, when they pray in the spirit,
  • 00:12:11.006 --> 00:12:14.176
  • They understand grace.
  • 00:12:14.176 --> 00:12:16.212
  • Because grace, you cannot understand grace.
  • 00:12:16.212 --> 00:12:18.147
  • Grace is not logical. law is logical.
  • 00:12:18.147 --> 00:12:20.416
  • Do good, get good. do bad, get bad.
  • 00:12:20.416 --> 00:12:23.285
  • I understand that.
  • 00:12:23.285 --> 00:12:27.156
  • Everyone in the world understands that.
  • 00:12:25.221 --> 00:12:29.358
  • Do good, get good. even a child understands.
  • 00:12:29.358 --> 00:12:31.393
  • Don't have to teach your child. do good, you get good.
  • 00:12:31.393 --> 00:12:33.195
  • Do bad, what do you get? bad.
  • 00:12:33.195 --> 00:12:37.132
  • But you can receive good, you don't deserve--ah!
  • 00:12:37.132 --> 00:12:42.938
  • Amen?
  • 00:12:42.938 --> 00:12:44.807
  • We balk at that.
  • 00:12:44.807 --> 00:12:46.775
  • And anyone who preaches that, we don't understand,
  • 00:12:46.775 --> 00:12:48.677
  • So we assassinate him, his character, i mean.
  • 00:12:48.677 --> 00:12:52.014
  • My character has been assassinated.
  • 00:12:52.014 --> 00:12:53.382
  • I don't know why it gets stronger and stronger
  • 00:12:53.382 --> 00:12:55.618
  • By the grace of god.
  • 00:12:55.618 --> 00:12:58.520
  • Yeah, it seems like people throw rocks, right?
  • 00:12:58.520 --> 00:13:04.560
  • And then this foundation just raise it higher.
  • 00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:07.763
  • More people get to hear about me because of the criticism,
  • 00:13:07.763 --> 00:13:10.566
  • You know?
  • 00:13:10.566 --> 00:13:12.001
  • So i don't want to say welcome, okay?
  • 00:13:12.001 --> 00:13:15.004
  • I just say, "let god be god."
  • 00:13:15.004 --> 00:13:20.542
  • What do i do?
  • 00:13:20.542 --> 00:13:21.877
  • I don't pay attention to those things.
  • 00:13:21.877 --> 00:13:23.679
  • I forgive the people involved.
  • 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:25.214
  • Whenever i hear about someone, i forgive the person.
  • 00:13:25.214 --> 00:13:27.950
  • I even take communion for the person or persons.
  • 00:13:27.950 --> 00:13:31.420
  • I take communion for them.
  • 00:13:31.420 --> 00:13:33.022
  • But then you know what?
  • 00:13:33.022 --> 00:13:34.356
  • When i get up, i move on.
  • 00:13:34.356 --> 00:13:36.358
  • I move on, amen?
  • 00:13:36.358 --> 00:13:38.427
  • Because i know this calling from god.
  • 00:13:38.427 --> 00:13:41.363
  • You cannot understand grace.
  • 00:13:41.363 --> 00:13:42.698
  • You see, tell me you understand this or not.
  • 00:13:42.698 --> 00:13:46.035
  • Everyone that jesus healed, okay?
  • 00:13:46.035 --> 00:13:48.938
  • Matthew, mark, luke, and john,
  • 00:13:48.938 --> 00:13:50.372
  • You can see the healing of jesus's ministry.
  • 00:13:50.372 --> 00:13:52.341
  • Everyone that he healed in the gospels,
  • 00:13:52.341 --> 00:13:57.646
  • He never tell them-- he never compelled them
  • 00:13:57.646 --> 00:14:02.017
  • To follow him.
  • 00:14:02.017 --> 00:14:04.787
  • Yeah, he did tell some fishermen, "follow me,"
  • 00:14:04.787 --> 00:14:06.689
  • But he didn't heal them.
  • 00:14:06.689 --> 00:14:08.190
  • I know what you're thinking.
  • 00:14:08.190 --> 00:14:09.525
  • He did say, "follow me," the fishermen.
  • 00:14:09.525 --> 00:14:12.027
  • But everyone that he healed, he never used that as a pretext.
  • 00:14:12.027 --> 00:14:18.434
  • "now i heal you, uh?
  • 00:14:18.434 --> 00:14:19.902
  • Now you follow me."
  • 00:14:19.902 --> 00:14:22.371
  • Jesus never buys hearts.
  • 00:14:22.371 --> 00:14:27.109
  • He wins them by the attractiveness of grace.
  • 00:14:27.109 --> 00:14:33.649
  • I want to share with you a secret
  • 00:14:33.649 --> 00:14:35.217
  • Before you go, all right?
  • 00:14:35.217 --> 00:14:37.653
  • And you see with me now.
  • 00:14:37.653 --> 00:14:39.121
  • How did ephesians 6:18
  • 00:14:39.121 --> 00:14:41.423
  • Talk about praying in the spirit?
  • 00:14:41.423 --> 00:14:43.192
  • "praying always with all prayer and supplication
  • 00:14:43.192 --> 00:14:45.527
  • In the spirit," right?
  • 00:14:45.527 --> 00:14:47.596
  • By the way, go back to young's verse.
  • 00:14:47.596 --> 00:14:48.998
  • Show them.
  • 00:14:48.998 --> 00:14:50.332
  • Young says: "through all prayer and supplication praying
  • 00:14:50.332 --> 00:14:53.135
  • At all times in the spirit."
  • 00:14:53.135 --> 00:14:55.037
  • So "at all times" is the word "kairos."
  • 00:14:55.037 --> 00:14:59.541
  • That means what?
  • 00:14:59.541 --> 00:15:00.876
  • Pray at every opportunity you get in the spirit.
  • 00:15:00.876 --> 00:15:03.045
  • Pray.
  • 00:15:03.045 --> 00:15:04.380
  • That's a gift that came on the day of pentecost.
  • 00:15:04.380 --> 00:15:06.348
  • Paul says, "i would that you all speak with tongues."
  • 00:15:06.348 --> 00:15:09.451
  • But in the church, he rather not everyone
  • 00:15:09.451 --> 00:15:12.087
  • Just pray in tongues out loud.
  • 00:15:12.087 --> 00:15:13.622
  • And that's the only time you pray.
  • 00:15:13.622 --> 00:15:15.224
  • Don't try to impress each other with your spirituality.
  • 00:15:15.224 --> 00:15:17.726
  • He's saying that.
  • 00:15:17.726 --> 00:15:19.061
  • But rather you speak words that people understand.
  • 00:15:19.061 --> 00:15:20.529
  • Yes, in the church.
  • 00:15:20.529 --> 00:15:21.864
  • Notice the words, these four words:
  • 00:15:21.864 --> 00:15:23.232
  • "yet in the church," i'd rather you speak.
  • 00:15:23.232 --> 00:15:25.801
  • But then he says what?
  • 00:15:25.801 --> 00:15:27.236
  • "forbid not to speak with tongues.
  • 00:15:27.236 --> 00:15:28.570
  • I would that you all speak with tongues."
  • 00:15:28.570 --> 00:15:29.938
  • Then paul says, "i pray in tongues more than you all."
  • 00:15:29.938 --> 00:15:33.709
  • Now, notice the word, "praying at all times
  • 00:15:33.709 --> 00:15:37.079
  • In the spirit."
  • 00:15:37.079 --> 00:15:38.414
  • I told you, "at all times" is "at all kairos,"
  • 00:15:38.414 --> 00:15:40.215
  • Every opportunity you get, amen?
  • 00:15:40.215 --> 00:15:43.585
  • Now, praying, notice what?
  • 00:15:43.585 --> 00:15:46.555
  • What prayer? prayer and supplication.
  • 00:15:46.555 --> 00:15:48.223
  • Keep those two in mind. prayer and what?
  • 00:15:48.223 --> 00:15:50.959
  • Prayer and?
  • 00:15:50.959 --> 00:15:52.294
  • But both are done in the spirit.
  • 00:15:52.294 --> 00:15:54.063
  • Now go back to the new king james,
  • 00:15:54.063 --> 00:15:56.532
  • And it says that "praying always with all prayer
  • 00:15:56.532 --> 00:15:58.267
  • And supplication."
  • 00:15:58.267 --> 00:15:59.601
  • Notice all prayer and supplication, all right?
  • 00:15:59.601 --> 00:16:01.937
  • I'm going to give you the greek so you will hear this word
  • 00:16:01.937 --> 00:16:04.306
  • And get familiar with it.
  • 00:16:04.306 --> 00:16:05.641
  • So you know, if i mention it again, you will see it.
  • 00:16:05.641 --> 00:16:09.344
  • Prayer is proseuche.
  • 00:16:09.344 --> 00:16:11.947
  • Supplication is deesis.
  • 00:16:11.947 --> 00:16:13.882
  • Proseuche, deesis.
  • 00:16:13.882 --> 00:16:15.451
  • So you won't think that, "oh, it's only the same in english
  • 00:16:15.451 --> 00:16:17.886
  • But not in the original."
  • 00:16:17.886 --> 00:16:19.221
  • You will see it.
  • 00:16:19.221 --> 00:16:20.556
  • Just tuck it somewhere.
  • 00:16:20.556 --> 00:16:21.890
  • Proseuche, prayer, supplication, deesis.
  • 00:16:21.890 --> 00:16:24.326
  • Keep it, okay?
  • 00:16:24.326 --> 00:16:25.661
  • Notice the twins.
  • 00:16:25.661 --> 00:16:27.262
  • And both are done in the spirit.
  • 00:16:27.262 --> 00:16:29.465
  • Both are done what?
  • 00:16:29.465 --> 00:16:30.799
  • In the spirit.
  • 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:32.134
  • Dimensions of prayer, okay?
  • 00:16:32.134 --> 00:16:35.637
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:16:35.637 --> 00:16:37.039
  • Now watch this.
  • 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:38.373
  • Let's go to philippians chapter 4, verse 6:
  • 00:16:38.373 --> 00:16:41.877
  • "be anxious for nothing, but in everything by," what?
  • 00:16:41.877 --> 00:16:48.784
  • That is proseuche and deesis.
  • 00:16:48.784 --> 00:16:51.553
  • Exactly the same words used where?
  • 00:16:51.553 --> 00:16:55.958
  • In ephesians 6, for praying in tongues, okay?
  • 00:16:55.958 --> 00:17:02.331
  • Praying in the spirit.
  • 00:17:02.331 --> 00:17:03.699
  • So, "be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer
  • 00:17:03.699 --> 00:17:06.502
  • And supplication with thanksgiving," also,
  • 00:17:06.502 --> 00:17:10.506
  • The bible says, when someone invites you to dinner
  • 00:17:10.506 --> 00:17:13.909
  • Or whatever, all right?
  • 00:17:13.909 --> 00:17:16.178
  • The bible says, "pray in english."
  • 00:17:16.178 --> 00:17:19.581
  • It doesn't say english there, but pray
  • 00:17:19.581 --> 00:17:21.116
  • In your own known language
  • 00:17:21.116 --> 00:17:22.584
  • Because the guy you pray in tongues, it says this,
  • 00:17:22.584 --> 00:17:25.521
  • For truly you give thanks well.
  • 00:17:25.521 --> 00:17:28.190
  • One translation: you truly give thanks excellently.
  • 00:17:28.190 --> 00:17:32.628
  • That means if you pray in tongues,
  • 00:17:32.628 --> 00:17:33.962
  • It's giving thanks as well, excellently.
  • 00:17:33.962 --> 00:17:38.433
  • But it says, you truly give thanks well,
  • 00:17:38.433 --> 00:17:40.302
  • But the other is not edified.
  • 00:17:40.302 --> 00:17:41.637
  • Doesn't understand what you're saying.
  • 00:17:41.637 --> 00:17:43.272
  • Doesn't know when to say amen and start eating.
  • 00:17:43.272 --> 00:17:47.342
  • So when people ask you to pray over the food, don't go
  • 00:17:47.342 --> 00:17:50.546
  • [speaking in tongues] amen?
  • 00:17:50.546 --> 00:17:55.317
  • The guy is--all right?
  • 00:17:55.317 --> 00:17:58.153
  • You will see a flying fork hit pastor mark.
  • 00:17:58.153 --> 00:18:04.059
  • And the wife says, "darling, it's not your fault.
  • 00:18:04.059 --> 00:18:06.728
  • It is the fork," okay?
  • 00:18:06.728 --> 00:18:12.501
  • So it says: "let your requests be made known to god;
  • 00:18:12.501 --> 00:18:16.505
  • And the peace of god,
  • 00:18:16.505 --> 00:18:17.839
  • Which surpasses all understanding,
  • 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:19.274
  • Will guard your hearts and minds through christ jesus."
  • 00:18:19.274 --> 00:18:24.680
  • Now we all want the peace of god to guard our hearts and minds.
  • 00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:27.549
  • The word "guard" is a very strong military word that's used
  • 00:18:27.549 --> 00:18:30.819
  • In the greek over here.
  • 00:18:30.819 --> 00:18:32.621
  • It means a military garrison guarding your heart and mind
  • 00:18:32.621 --> 00:18:38.994
  • From all fears, worries, anxieties which cause--
  • 00:18:38.994 --> 00:18:42.998
  • These thoughts will cause you to go
  • 00:18:42.998 --> 00:18:45.467
  • Into a spiral of oppression, depression.
  • 00:18:45.467 --> 00:18:51.240
  • Pray in the spirit.
  • 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.709
  • "let your requests be made known to god."
  • 00:18:53.709 --> 00:18:55.877
  • Now this word, "requests be made known to god" sounds passive.
  • 00:18:55.877 --> 00:19:01.850
  • It's not like you are making every anxious request
  • 00:19:01.850 --> 00:19:05.487
  • That you have, request about anxiety, to god.
  • 00:19:05.487 --> 00:19:08.523
  • No, it is being made known to god by someone.
  • 00:19:08.523 --> 00:19:11.593
  • Now i'm going to show you the greek right now.
  • 00:19:11.593 --> 00:19:13.395
  • The greek for this one
  • 00:19:13.395 --> 00:19:15.030
  • Is actually
  • 00:19:15.030 --> 00:19:16.665
  • Present passive imperative.
  • 00:19:16.665 --> 00:19:19.568
  • Passive, not active.
  • 00:19:19.568 --> 00:19:21.503
  • Present passive imperative.
  • 00:19:21.503 --> 00:19:23.872
  • That means you are not the one making known.
  • 00:19:23.872 --> 00:19:26.942
  • If it's you making known,
  • 00:19:29.611 --> 00:19:30.946
  • Like your part is this:
  • 00:19:30.946 --> 00:19:32.281
  • Be anxious for nothing.
  • 00:19:32.281 --> 00:19:34.149
  • That is active voice.
  • 00:19:34.149 --> 00:19:39.421
  • So what do you do? you pray.
  • 00:19:39.421 --> 00:19:41.890
  • Your part is to pray in the spirit and the spirit
  • 00:19:41.890 --> 00:19:45.327
  • Makes known to god.
  • 00:19:45.327 --> 00:19:47.296
  • Now, when you pray in tongues, but then every day,
  • 00:19:47.296 --> 00:19:50.565
  • How do you maintain it?
  • 00:19:50.565 --> 00:19:51.933
  • The spirit-filled, constant filling.
  • 00:19:51.933 --> 00:19:53.835
  • In ephesians, it says: "be being filled
  • 00:19:53.835 --> 00:19:56.872
  • With the spirit."
  • 00:19:56.872 --> 00:19:58.740
  • Passive imperative.
  • 00:19:58.740 --> 00:20:01.243
  • Again, present passive imperative.
  • 00:20:01.243 --> 00:20:03.111
  • In other words, you are not actively filling yourself.
  • 00:20:03.111 --> 00:20:06.882
  • You are not the player here.
  • 00:20:06.882 --> 00:20:10.452
  • You are singing. that's you.
  • 00:20:10.452 --> 00:20:12.921
  • You are just singing.
  • 00:20:12.921 --> 00:20:14.289
  • It says: "speaking to yourself," next line, "in psalms, hymns
  • 00:20:14.289 --> 00:20:17.592
  • And spiritual songs."
  • 00:20:17.592 --> 00:20:18.927
  • That's you singing, you know, praise the lord.
  • 00:20:18.927 --> 00:20:21.330
  • "[singing] i sing praises to your name, o lord.
  • 00:20:21.330 --> 00:20:25.734
  • Blessed be the lord, god almighty."
  • 00:20:25.734 --> 00:20:30.339
  • I tell you, on your way to work, when you sing like that
  • 00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:33.442
  • Even under your breath whether you're in an mrt
  • 00:20:33.442 --> 00:20:36.078
  • Or in your vehicle on your way there,
  • 00:20:36.078 --> 00:20:38.347
  • It changes everything.
  • 00:20:38.347 --> 00:20:39.715
  • You know why?
  • 00:20:39.715 --> 00:20:41.049
  • Because you are being filled with the spirit.
  • 00:20:41.049 --> 00:20:42.751
  • But notice you are being filled.
  • 00:20:42.751 --> 00:20:45.220
  • It's passive.
  • 00:20:45.220 --> 00:20:47.622
  • So same thing here.
  • 00:20:47.622 --> 00:20:49.024
  • When you are praying in tongues and prayer and supplication
  • 00:20:49.024 --> 00:20:51.993
  • We have established, again, the proof is there.
  • 00:20:51.993 --> 00:20:54.996
  • From the same word,
  • 00:20:54.996 --> 00:20:56.965
  • Proseuche deesis,
  • 00:20:56.965 --> 00:20:58.300
  • Prayer and supplication in the spirit.
  • 00:20:58.300 --> 00:21:00.602
  • Although the word "in the spirit" is not here,
  • 00:21:00.602 --> 00:21:02.537
  • It's the same thing because bible interpret bible.
  • 00:21:02.537 --> 00:21:05.640
  • When these two things appear together, are you listening?
  • 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.443
  • And then not only that,
  • 00:21:08.443 --> 00:21:09.778
  • This "be made known"
  • 00:21:09.778 --> 00:21:11.246
  • Is not you making known.
  • 00:21:11.246 --> 00:21:13.949
  • If it is you making known, it's active.
  • 00:21:13.949 --> 00:21:15.984
  • This one is passive.
  • 00:21:15.984 --> 00:21:17.519
  • Okay, so in the middle of the night,
  • 00:21:17.586 --> 00:21:19.654
  • You have this pain or you have a worry
  • 00:21:19.654 --> 00:21:21.256
  • Or whatever and your stomach is like, you know,
  • 00:21:21.256 --> 00:21:25.360
  • Butterflies in your stomach, okay?
  • 00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:27.162
  • You're feeling knots down there.
  • 00:21:27.162 --> 00:21:29.030
  • What do you do?
  • 00:21:29.030 --> 00:21:30.665
  • Now, some people say, "get up, get down,
  • 00:21:30.665 --> 00:21:33.368
  • Cast your cares to the lord.
  • 00:21:33.368 --> 00:21:34.703
  • Just cast your cares."
  • 00:21:34.703 --> 00:21:36.037
  • That's fine. i'm not knocking that.
  • 00:21:36.037 --> 00:21:37.606
  • You can use that as a prime-- as one of the use of the--
  • 00:21:37.606 --> 00:21:40.942
  • But i believe the primary word here written to people
  • 00:21:40.942 --> 00:21:44.679
  • In the new testament, people who understand about
  • 00:21:44.679 --> 00:21:46.648
  • Praying in tongues because it's rampant in the early church.
  • 00:21:46.648 --> 00:21:49.084
  • They pray in tongues all the time.
  • 00:21:49.084 --> 00:21:51.319
  • So they understood paul when he says
  • 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:52.687
  • By prayer and supplication.
  • 00:21:52.687 --> 00:21:54.289
  • So what they do when they are anxious,
  • 00:21:54.289 --> 00:21:55.824
  • You just say this to the lord:
  • 00:21:55.824 --> 00:21:57.259
  • "lord, i do not know how to pray for this condition."
  • 00:21:57.259 --> 00:21:59.227
  • You know there's a verse in romans 8, verse 26:
  • 00:21:59.227 --> 00:22:02.130
  • "likewise, the holy spirit helps us in our weakness.
  • 00:22:02.130 --> 00:22:06.501
  • For we do not know how to pray as we ought."
  • 00:22:06.501 --> 00:22:08.937
  • Come on, come on, come on, amen?
  • 00:22:08.937 --> 00:22:12.040
  • So how many realize that many of us,
  • 00:22:12.040 --> 00:22:13.442
  • We don't know how to pray as we ought?
  • 00:22:13.442 --> 00:22:15.210
  • It's only pastor mark, amen, and pastor lawrence.
  • 00:22:15.210 --> 00:22:19.581
  • The rest of us humans, we don't know how to pray
  • 00:22:19.581 --> 00:22:24.519
  • As we ought, right?
  • 00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:25.854
  • Am i right or not?
  • 00:22:25.854 --> 00:22:27.189
  • So, we need the holy spirit, amen?
  • 00:22:27.189 --> 00:22:29.558
  • But don't forget the holy spirit is god himself.
  • 00:22:29.558 --> 00:22:32.694
  • And he's been sent, one of his offices today
  • 00:22:32.694 --> 00:22:37.599
  • Is to be our helper, amen.
  • 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:40.402
  • The one who comes alongside and helps us, amen.
  • 00:22:40.402 --> 00:22:43.605
  • Now the holy spirit don't make the praying for you.
  • 00:22:43.605 --> 00:22:45.807
  • It says, "likewise," romans 8.26.
  • 00:22:45.807 --> 00:22:47.843
  • "likewise the spirit helpeth."
  • 00:22:47.843 --> 00:22:49.177
  • The word "helpeth" is the word "sun"
  • 00:22:49.177 --> 00:22:51.446
  • In front in the greek,
  • 00:22:51.446 --> 00:22:52.781
  • Which means join together, join helper.
  • 00:22:52.781 --> 00:22:55.851
  • You must still pray.
  • 00:22:55.851 --> 00:22:57.219
  • He'll give you the words.
  • 00:22:57.219 --> 00:22:59.721
  • So i tell justin, even funny words come up.
  • 00:22:59.721 --> 00:23:01.890
  • 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.
