  • I invite you to shine that light with us.
  • 00:00:13.056 --> 00:00:16.326
  • Let's believe bigger. let's build together.
  • 00:00:16.326 --> 00:00:19.896
  • I pray that you will continue to partner with us
  • 00:00:19.896 --> 00:00:22.599
  • To take this gospel farther and faster
  • 00:00:22.599 --> 00:00:25.168
  • Than ever before.
  • 00:00:25.168 --> 00:00:26.536
  • Male announcer: in a world that is ever-changing,
  • 00:00:28.138 --> 00:00:30.473
  • There is one who is still the same.
  • 00:00:30.473 --> 00:00:34.144
  • In the chaos, he is still the calm.
  • 00:00:34.144 --> 00:00:38.114
  • In the panic, he is still the promise.
  • 00:00:38.114 --> 00:00:41.885
  • In the bad news, worse news, and fake news,
  • 00:00:41.885 --> 00:00:45.455
  • He is still the good news.
  • 00:00:45.455 --> 00:00:48.758
  • From feeding the 5000 to feeding your family,
  • 00:00:48.758 --> 00:00:52.795
  • He is still the supply.
  • 00:00:52.795 --> 00:00:56.533
  • From calming the sea of galilee
  • 00:00:56.533 --> 00:00:58.201
  • To calming the storm in your mind,
  • 00:00:58.201 --> 00:01:00.837
  • He is still the peace.
  • 00:01:00.837 --> 00:01:03.106
  • Because when all else falters, fades, and falls,
  • 00:01:03.106 --> 00:01:07.777
  • He is still jesus, above it all.
  • 00:01:07.777 --> 00:01:12.448
  • So no matter what's popular today
  • 00:01:12.448 --> 00:01:14.717
  • Or forgotten tomorrow,

  • To make your gift now.
  • 00:01:37.574 --> 00:01:38.942
  • Joseph prince: god is saying, when you're in a battle,
  • 00:01:42.111 --> 00:01:43.780
  • In a difficulty,
  • 00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:45.114
  • Your only fight is to stay in faith.
  • 00:01:45.114 --> 00:01:48.851
  • Fight to remain in faith. fight the good fight of faith.
  • 00:01:48.851 --> 00:01:53.823
  • In other words, the difficulty is there but you say,
  • 00:01:53.823 --> 00:01:55.592
  • "father, i thank you.
  • 00:01:55.592 --> 00:01:56.926
  • This battle is yours. thank you, father.
  • 00:01:56.926 --> 00:01:58.294
  • My eyes is on you. thank you, father.
  • 00:01:58.294 --> 00:02:00.830
  • You have overcome this problem for me."
  • 00:02:00.830 --> 00:02:03.299
  • And devil yells, "you can still see it!"
  • 00:02:03.299 --> 00:02:05.702
  • Lord, my eyes are on you, lord, amen?
  • 00:02:05.702 --> 00:02:08.571
  • You listening, people?
  • 00:02:08.571 --> 00:02:10.773
  • That is your fight. and it's a beautiful fight.
  • 00:02:10.773 --> 00:02:13.843
  • And i suspect god says it's beautiful because you win.
  • 00:02:13.843 --> 00:02:18.681
  • And god loves it.
  • 00:02:18.681 --> 00:02:20.016
  • You know, every time we are using faith,
  • 00:02:20.016 --> 00:02:21.351
  • God loves it.
  • 00:02:21.351 --> 00:02:22.719
  • God loves it.
  • 00:02:22.785 --> 00:02:24.087
  • It's like..."come on, angels, look at that.
  • 00:02:24.087 --> 00:02:25.421
  • Look at that guy, look at that girl," hallelujah.
  • 00:02:25.421 --> 00:02:29.392
  • Announcer: epic battles, unexpected heroes,
  • 00:02:29.459 --> 00:02:32.662
  • And a parted sea.
  • 00:02:32.662 --> 00:02:34.163
  • It's time to experience the word of god
  • 00:02:34.163 --> 00:02:36.332
  • In a fresh new way.
  • 00:02:36.332 --> 00:02:38.167
  • In today's message, joseph opens the scroll
  • 00:02:38.167 --> 00:02:40.837
  • On some of the most amazing scenes in scripture
  • 00:02:40.837 --> 00:02:43.673
  • And shows you how the lord's love for us
  • 00:02:43.673 --> 00:02:45.541
  • Has been woven into each one of them.
  • 00:02:45.541 --> 00:02:49.279
  • If a picture can paint a thousand words,
  • 00:02:49.279 --> 00:02:51.881
  • Imagine the wonder of a book
  • 00:02:51.881 --> 00:02:54.450
  • Where every page reveals the beauty of jesus.
  • 00:02:54.450 --> 00:02:58.254
  • In his book "expedition promised land,"
  • 00:02:58.254 --> 00:03:00.890
  • Joseph brings the stories of the bible to you in full color:
  • 00:03:00.890 --> 00:03:04.927
  • The miracle of jesus in capernaum,
  • 00:03:04.927 --> 00:03:07.730
  • The agony and love he poured out for us
  • 00:03:07.730 --> 00:03:09.599
  • In gethsemane,
  • 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.167
  • And the faith and confidence to calm the storm
  • 00:03:11.167 --> 00:03:13.569
  • On the sea of galilee.
  • 00:03:13.569 --> 00:03:15.405
  • As you take in these breathtaking sights
  • 00:03:15.405 --> 00:03:17.140

  • Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:03:53.810 --> 00:03:56.346
  • With today's program.
  • 00:03:56.346 --> 00:03:57.714
  • Joseph prince: in psalms 23, it says,
  • 00:03:57.714 --> 00:03:59.349
  • "the lord is my shepherd; i shall not lack."
  • 00:03:59.349 --> 00:04:02.218
  • And it says this: "you prepare a table before me
  • 00:04:02.218 --> 00:04:05.822
  • In the presence of my enemies."
  • 00:04:05.822 --> 00:04:07.857
  • It's a spread, hallelujah.
  • 00:04:07.857 --> 00:04:10.193
  • And notice "not in the absence of my enemies.
  • 00:04:10.193 --> 00:04:13.129
  • You prepare a table before me in the presence."
  • 00:04:13.129 --> 00:04:15.798
  • While the symptoms are still in your body, feed.
  • 00:04:15.798 --> 00:04:19.035
  • While the difficulty is still there, feed.
  • 00:04:19.035 --> 00:04:22.572
  • While the addiction is still there, feed.
  • 00:04:22.572 --> 00:04:26.042
  • Feeding is fighting. feeding is winning.
  • 00:04:26.042 --> 00:04:30.913
  • And that's why the only fight for us to fight
  • 00:04:30.913 --> 00:04:34.016
  • Is fight the good fight of faith.
  • 00:04:34.016 --> 00:04:36.085
  • 1 timothy 6:12, "fight the good fight of faith."
  • 00:04:36.085 --> 00:04:38.921
  • You see the word "good fight"?
  • 00:04:38.921 --> 00:04:40.590
  • It's actually the word-- in the greek there--is kalos.
  • 00:04:40.590 --> 00:04:43.593
  • Literally it's not the word "eu," for good.
  • 00:04:43.593 --> 00:04:46.262
  • It is the word "kalos."
  • 00:04:46.262 --> 00:04:47.597
  • Kalos is this, the first definition of kalos.
  • 00:04:47.597 --> 00:04:49.499
  • Kalos is either beautiful or handsome.
  • 00:04:49.499 --> 00:04:51.868
  • In other words, it's fight the beautiful fight of faith.
  • 00:04:51.868 --> 00:04:55.405
  • God is saying, when you are in a battle, in a difficulty,
  • 00:04:55.405 --> 00:04:58.274
  • Your only fight is to stay in faith.
  • 00:04:58.274 --> 00:05:02.078
  • Fight to remain in faith. fight the good fight of faith.
  • 00:05:02.078 --> 00:05:07.083
  • In other words, the difficulty is there but you say,
  • 00:05:07.083 --> 00:05:08.851
  • "father, i thank you.
  • 00:05:08.851 --> 00:05:10.186
  • This battle is yours. thank you, father.
  • 00:05:10.186 --> 00:05:11.554
  • My eyes is on you. thank you, father.
  • 00:05:11.554 --> 00:05:14.090
  • You have overcome this problem for me."
  • 00:05:14.090 --> 00:05:16.559
  • And devil yells, "you can still see it!"
  • 00:05:16.559 --> 00:05:18.961
  • Lord, my eyes are on you, lord, amen?
  • 00:05:18.961 --> 00:05:21.831
  • You listening, people?
  • 00:05:21.831 --> 00:05:24.033
  • That is your fight. and it's a beautiful fight.
  • 00:05:24.033 --> 00:05:27.103
  • And i suspect god says it's beautiful because you win.
  • 00:05:27.103 --> 00:05:31.941
  • And god loves it.
  • 00:05:31.941 --> 00:05:33.276
  • You know, every time we are using faith,
  • 00:05:33.276 --> 00:05:34.610
  • God loves it.
  • 00:05:34.610 --> 00:05:35.978
  • God loves it.
  • 00:05:36.045 --> 00:05:37.346
  • It's like..."come on, angels, look at that.
  • 00:05:37.346 --> 00:05:38.681
  • Look at that guy, look at that girl," hallelujah.
  • 00:05:38.681 --> 00:05:42.785
  • I'm going to give you five words of grace
  • 00:05:42.785 --> 00:05:44.687
  • For you to use.
  • 00:05:44.687 --> 00:05:46.022
  • Every time there's a battle, there's a difficulty,
  • 00:05:46.022 --> 00:05:47.757
  • Say this under your breath.
  • 00:05:47.757 --> 00:05:49.091
  • Look at the problem and say this under your breath, okay?
  • 00:05:49.091 --> 00:05:52.829
  • Before i give it to you, let me show you a story,
  • 00:05:52.829 --> 00:05:55.031
  • A very famous story, that happened in israel.
  • 00:05:55.031 --> 00:05:58.534
  • You still can go to that place, that valley there,
  • 00:05:58.534 --> 00:06:01.204
  • And still imagine
  • 00:06:01.204 --> 00:06:02.805
  • Because the valley is almost unchanged, all right,
  • 00:06:02.805 --> 00:06:05.575
  • The topography and all that.
  • 00:06:05.575 --> 00:06:07.410
  • 1 samuel 17, "when the philistine looked about
  • 00:06:07.410 --> 00:06:10.012
  • And saw david," the goliath has been standing there,
  • 00:06:10.012 --> 00:06:12.915
  • Challenging the people of israel to challenge--
  • 00:06:12.915 --> 00:06:15.351
  • To fight him.
  • 00:06:15.351 --> 00:06:16.686
  • For 40 days he's been standing there.
  • 00:06:16.686 --> 00:06:18.154
  • No one dared to fight this 10-footer.
  • 00:06:18.154 --> 00:06:20.389
  • Some say about 9 to 11, 12 feet. we're not sure.
  • 00:06:20.389 --> 00:06:23.426
  • But he's one of the giants.
  • 00:06:23.426 --> 00:06:25.461
  • And he was ugly. he was mean.
  • 00:06:25.461 --> 00:06:26.829
  • In those days, all right, they are very, you know,
  • 00:06:26.829 --> 00:06:30.166
  • Their faces are all like scars and all that.
  • 00:06:30.166 --> 00:06:32.335
  • So when he disdained david, "when he saw david,
  • 00:06:32.335 --> 00:06:34.470
  • He despised david because david was only a youth,
  • 00:06:34.470 --> 00:06:37.173
  • Ruddy and good-looking.
  • 00:06:37.173 --> 00:06:39.008
  • So the philistine said to david,
  • 00:06:39.008 --> 00:06:40.409
  • 'am i a dog, that you come to me with sticks?'
  • 00:06:40.409 --> 00:06:44.413
  • And the philistine cursed david by his gods.
  • 00:06:44.413 --> 00:06:46.949
  • And the philistine said to david,
  • 00:06:46.949 --> 00:06:48.284
  • 'come to me, come to me,
  • 00:06:48.284 --> 00:06:49.619
  • I'll give your flesh to the birds of the air
  • 00:06:49.619 --> 00:06:50.953
  • And the beasts of the field.'
  • 00:06:50.953 --> 00:06:52.288
  • David said to the philistine,
  • 00:06:52.288 --> 00:06:53.623
  • 'you come to me with visible sword,
  • 00:06:53.623 --> 00:06:55.992
  • With a visible spear, and a visible javelin.
  • 00:06:55.992 --> 00:07:01.898
  • But i come to you in the name of the lord of hosts,'"
  • 00:07:01.898 --> 00:07:04.300
  • Invisible god who is eternal,
  • 00:07:04.300 --> 00:07:06.702
  • "'the god of the armies of israel, whom you defied!'"
  • 00:07:06.702 --> 00:07:10.072
  • Next.
  • 00:07:10.072 --> 00:07:11.407
  • "'this day the lord will deliver you into my hand,
  • 00:07:11.407 --> 00:07:13.009
  • And i strike you and take your head from you.
  • 00:07:13.009 --> 00:07:15.545
  • And this day i'll give the carcasses
  • 00:07:15.545 --> 00:07:17.013
  • Of the camp of the philistines to the birds of the air,
  • 00:07:17.013 --> 00:07:19.515
  • To the wild beasts of the earth,
  • 00:07:19.515 --> 00:07:20.850
  • That all the earth may know there is a god in israel.'"
  • 00:07:20.850 --> 00:07:24.120
  • Next.
  • 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:25.454
  • "'then all this assembly shall know that the lord
  • 00:07:25.454 --> 00:07:27.490
  • Does not save with what is visible,
  • 00:07:27.490 --> 00:07:29.525
  • With sword and spear; for the battle is the lord's,
  • 00:07:29.525 --> 00:07:33.296
  • And he will give you into our hands!'"
  • 00:07:33.296 --> 00:07:35.865
  • Right now, memorize this, learn to mutter this
  • 00:07:35.865 --> 00:07:40.136
  • When you are in-- before your difficulty,
  • 00:07:40.136 --> 00:07:43.105
  • Learn to say this under your breath:
  • 00:07:43.105 --> 00:07:44.607
  • "the battle is the lord's."
  • 00:07:44.607 --> 00:07:47.176
  • It's not mine. it's not mine, amen, amen.
  • 00:07:47.176 --> 00:07:50.947
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:07:50.947 --> 00:07:52.281
  • "pastor prince, my teenage girl is mixing around
  • 00:07:52.281 --> 00:07:54.550
  • With bad company."
  • 00:07:54.550 --> 00:07:55.885
  • You feel it's your battle. it's not your battle.
  • 00:07:55.885 --> 00:07:57.653
  • Don't touch it!
  • 00:07:57.653 --> 00:07:58.988
  • It's the battle is the lord's.
  • 00:07:58.988 --> 00:08:00.323
  • Just like the tithe. the tithe is the lord's.
  • 00:08:00.323 --> 00:08:01.958
  • Don't touch it. it belongs to him.
  • 00:08:01.958 --> 00:08:03.626
  • Same way, the battle is not yours to touch, amen.
  • 00:08:03.626 --> 00:08:06.996
  • Your arm is not too great.
  • 00:08:06.996 --> 00:08:09.532
  • Your sight is not that far reaching, amen?
  • 00:08:09.532 --> 00:08:12.969
  • God is stronger, god is greater.
  • 00:08:12.969 --> 00:08:15.738
  • God loves you more than you love yourself.
  • 00:08:15.738 --> 00:08:17.473
  • He loves your teenage daughter more than you can love her.
  • 00:08:17.473 --> 00:08:19.742
  • God is saying, "don't touch! the battle is mine."
  • 00:08:19.742 --> 00:08:22.645
  • The battle is the lord's.
  • 00:08:22.645 --> 00:08:24.013
  • "but, pastor prince, david still went to meet the--"
  • 00:08:24.013 --> 00:08:26.449
  • Yeah, but how did he go?
  • 00:08:26.449 --> 00:08:27.783
  • Dressed in an armor? no, dressed as a shepherd boy.
  • 00:08:27.783 --> 00:08:30.686
  • With a sword? no, with a sling.
  • 00:08:30.686 --> 00:08:34.457
  • So, obviously, he believes "this battle is not mine.
  • 00:08:34.457 --> 00:08:37.326
  • The battle is the lord's."
  • 00:08:37.326 --> 00:08:39.362
  • So learn to look at your problems now,
  • 00:08:39.362 --> 00:08:41.163
  • And the devil says,
  • 00:08:41.163 --> 00:08:42.498
  • "what are you going to do about it?"
  • 00:08:42.498 --> 00:08:43.833
  • Say, "the battle is not mine. it's the lord's.
  • 00:08:43.833 --> 00:08:45.167
  • Lord, this is your battle. lord, this is your battle.
  • 00:08:45.167 --> 00:08:47.503
  • Lord, this is your battle."
  • 00:08:47.503 --> 00:08:48.838
  • Throughout this year, "lord, this is your battle."
  • 00:08:48.838 --> 00:08:51.574
  • Now sometimes it won't be as quick as david's victory,
  • 00:08:51.574 --> 00:08:54.644
  • But the lord is hearing what you're saying.
  • 00:08:54.644 --> 00:08:57.780
  • And the lord loves it. his arms are bigger than yours.
  • 00:08:57.780 --> 00:09:01.617
  • Lord, this is your battle. the battle is the lord's.
  • 00:09:01.617 --> 00:09:05.821
  • Your five words of grace this year, amen?
  • 00:09:05.821 --> 00:09:10.393
  • [congregation applauding]
  • 00:09:10.393 --> 00:09:13.262
  • The doctors gave you a bad diagnosis.
  • 00:09:13.262 --> 00:09:16.265
  • Under your breath: "this battle is the lord's."
  • 00:09:16.265 --> 00:09:19.602
  • That's the good fight of faith. you fight by not fighting.
  • 00:09:19.602 --> 00:09:25.141
  • You fight by not fighting. that's the greatest fight.
  • 00:09:25.141 --> 00:09:28.511
  • It's like the devil wants you to think
  • 00:09:28.511 --> 00:09:29.845
  • There's a place called healed and you are not healed.
  • 00:09:29.845 --> 00:09:32.882
  • There's a place called healed.
  • 00:09:32.882 --> 00:09:34.216
  • You see, you must do your best to go there.
  • 00:09:34.216 --> 00:09:36.552
  • And you know, and he will try to bring in,
  • 00:09:36.552 --> 00:09:38.320
  • But you must be obedient enough to reach there.
  • 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.057
  • You must be holy enough to reach there.
  • 00:09:41.057 --> 00:09:43.292
  • You must be good enough to reach there,
  • 00:09:43.292 --> 00:09:45.327
  • And you are never there.
  • 00:09:45.327 --> 00:09:46.662
  • Actually, that's not the truth.
  • 00:09:46.662 --> 00:09:47.997
  • The truth is, you're already there.
  • 00:09:47.997 --> 00:09:51.100
  • You are the healed.
  • 00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:52.435
  • And the devil is trying to take your healing.
  • 00:09:52.435 --> 00:09:56.238
  • And you're saying, "no, this is a lying symptom.
  • 00:09:56.238 --> 00:09:58.074
  • No, lord, this is your battle. i'm already healed.
  • 00:09:58.074 --> 00:10:01.510
  • This is your battle, lord. i'm already healed.
  • 00:10:01.510 --> 00:10:03.479
  • This is your battle, lord. i'm already healed."
  • 00:10:03.479 --> 00:10:06.015
  • It's so much more easier to know that you're in a building
  • 00:10:06.015 --> 00:10:09.018
  • When you're already in the building.
  • 00:10:09.018 --> 00:10:11.854
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:10:11.854 --> 00:10:13.422
  • You're already healed, not trying to be healed.
  • 00:10:13.422 --> 00:10:15.591
  • The devil is trying to take your healing.
  • 00:10:15.591 --> 00:10:18.394
  • It's not like you're trying to take your healing.
  • 00:10:18.394 --> 00:10:20.296
  • No, the devil is trying to take your healing.
  • 00:10:20.296 --> 00:10:22.932
  • By calling his bluff, you expose him.
  • 00:10:22.932 --> 00:10:26.302
  • It's a fight of faith. it might take some time.
  • 00:10:26.302 --> 00:10:29.672
  • I'm not saying it's going to be easy.
  • 00:10:29.672 --> 00:10:31.173
  • And that's why the bible is faith food for all of us.
  • 00:10:31.173 --> 00:10:34.043
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:10:34.043 --> 00:10:35.611
  • Another instance, and you know what happened to the giant?
  • 00:10:35.611 --> 00:10:38.347
  • He came down, boom! that's it, all right?
  • 00:10:38.347 --> 00:10:41.450
  • One stone.
  • 00:10:41.450 --> 00:10:42.785
  • One stone because the battle is the lord's.
  • 00:10:42.785 --> 00:10:44.120
  • Who do you think made the stone hit the mark?
  • 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.589
  • The lord. and the giant came down.
  • 00:10:46.589 --> 00:10:48.758
  • The bible says david decapitated his head,
  • 00:10:48.758 --> 00:10:52.762
  • Took his head.
  • 00:10:52.762 --> 00:10:54.196
  • And very interesting, the bible says that he brought the head
  • 00:10:54.196 --> 00:10:55.998
  • To jerusalem.
  • 00:10:55.998 --> 00:10:59.368
  • Valley of elah is miles away from jerusalem.
  • 00:10:59.368 --> 00:11:01.036
  • Why did david bring the head to jerusalem?
  • 00:11:01.036 --> 00:11:03.205
  • Now, there's a-- one rabbinical tradition.
  • 00:11:03.205 --> 00:11:06.208
  • There's one tradition that says that the head of goliath
  • 00:11:06.208 --> 00:11:11.080
  • Was buried in a place that was called gol-goliath.
  • 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.451
  • And later on, there's a perversion of the name
  • 00:11:15.451 --> 00:11:17.353
  • From gol-goliath.
  • 00:11:17.353 --> 00:11:18.687
  • The hill of goliath became golgotha,
  • 00:11:18.687 --> 00:11:21.257
  • Where a greater son of david, jesus christ,
  • 00:11:21.257 --> 00:11:24.260
  • Would conquer a greater goliath and smash his head at the cross,
  • 00:11:24.260 --> 00:11:28.931
  • When he bore all our sins and shout,
  • 00:11:28.931 --> 00:11:30.966
  • "it is finished," amen?
  • 00:11:30.966 --> 00:11:35.037
  • All right, let's fast forward.
  • 00:11:35.037 --> 00:11:36.605
  • David became a king, and according to his seed,
  • 00:11:36.605 --> 00:11:40.442
  • Down through the years,
  • 00:11:40.442 --> 00:11:41.777
  • There was another king called jehoshaphat.
  • 00:11:41.777 --> 00:11:44.079
  • And king jehoshaphat was surrounded--
  • 00:11:44.079 --> 00:11:46.282
  • Don't show them just yet.
  • 00:11:46.282 --> 00:11:47.683
  • They was surrounded by the enemies,
  • 00:11:47.683 --> 00:11:49.485
  • About four or five enemies, and they were surrounding him.
  • 00:11:49.485 --> 00:11:53.055
  • The bible says a great multitude came against him,
  • 00:11:53.055 --> 00:11:55.658
  • And i love his prayer.
  • 00:11:55.658 --> 00:11:56.992
  • You got time? read his prayer.
  • 00:11:56.992 --> 00:11:58.327
  • All right, it's found in 1 chronicles 20
  • 00:11:58.327 --> 00:12:00.196
  • For a 20/20 vision.
  • 00:12:00.196 --> 00:12:02.398
  • So you look at--he says this.
  • 00:12:02.398 --> 00:12:03.866
  • He looked to god and he says, "god"--i love this prayer--
  • 00:12:03.866 --> 00:12:06.435
  • "we have no might, no power against this great multitude.
  • 00:12:06.435 --> 00:12:10.840
  • But our eyes are upon you." i love it.
  • 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:15.077
  • It's like saying, "we have no might,
  • 00:12:15.077 --> 00:12:17.546
  • We have nothing, no resources against this disease,
  • 00:12:17.546 --> 00:12:21.951
  • Against this condition, but our eyes are upon you.
  • 00:12:21.951 --> 00:12:27.022
  • I don't know how my daughter can be delivered,
  • 00:12:27.022 --> 00:12:28.757
  • How my son can be delivered, but my eyes are on you."
  • 00:12:28.757 --> 00:12:33.329
  • And when they said that,
  • 00:12:33.329 --> 00:12:34.663
  • The holy spirit fell upon one of the sons of asaph.
  • 00:12:34.663 --> 00:12:37.433
  • And he was a prophet.
  • 00:12:37.433 --> 00:12:39.101
  • And he said this: "listen, all judah
  • 00:12:39.101 --> 00:12:41.170
  • And inhabitants of jerusalem, and you, king jehoshaphat!
  • 00:12:41.170 --> 00:12:45.274
  • Thus says the lord to you: 'do not be afraid nor be dismayed
  • 00:12:45.274 --> 00:12:49.945
  • Because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours,
  • 00:12:49.945 --> 00:12:55.317
  • But god's!'"
  • 00:12:55.317 --> 00:12:57.419
  • Yes, listen! this battle is not yours!
  • 00:12:57.419 --> 00:13:02.224
  • It is god's!
  • 00:13:02.224 --> 00:13:03.726
  • "but the enemies are coming against me!"
  • 00:13:03.726 --> 00:13:05.928
  • Jehoshaphat could have said.
  • 00:13:05.928 --> 00:13:07.496
  • But it's not yours, king. it is god's.
  • 00:13:07.496 --> 00:13:11.233
  • "you don't understand, pastor prince.
  • 00:13:11.233 --> 00:13:12.568
  • This is coming against my family."
  • 00:13:12.568 --> 00:13:14.436
  • But it's not yours. it's god.
  • 00:13:14.436 --> 00:13:16.171
  • And everything in your flesh is saying
  • 00:13:16.171 --> 00:13:18.340
  • You are just being irresponsible.
  • 00:13:18.340 --> 00:13:20.242
  • You are--you should worry.
  • 00:13:20.242 --> 00:13:25.547
  • How can you not worry?
  • 00:13:25.547 --> 00:13:29.151
  • And in fact, you are doing the greatest thing
  • 00:13:29.151 --> 00:13:32.655
  • You can ever do against that situation,
  • 00:13:32.655 --> 00:13:36.392
  • Against that problem
  • 00:13:36.392 --> 00:13:37.760
  • Even though you are in the midst of a trial, amen.
  • 00:13:37.760 --> 00:13:46.235
  • And someone said, "pastor prince,
  • 00:13:46.235 --> 00:13:48.137
  • Of course you are so blessed.
  • 00:13:48.137 --> 00:13:49.471
  • You don't know what i'm going through."
  • 00:13:49.471 --> 00:13:50.806
  • How do you know that i'm not going through
  • 00:13:50.806 --> 00:13:52.141
  • A trial right now?
  • 00:13:52.141 --> 00:13:53.876
  • How do you know?
  • 00:13:53.876 --> 00:13:55.210
  • In fact, i am going through a trial right now, all right?
  • 00:13:55.210 --> 00:13:57.947
  • We are all always going either about to enter a trial,
  • 00:13:57.947 --> 00:14:00.916
  • Either in the trial, or outside the trial.
  • 00:14:00.916 --> 00:14:03.819
  • You understand?
  • 00:14:03.819 --> 00:14:05.154
  • This side of heaven, it's part and parcel,
  • 00:14:05.154 --> 00:14:06.822
  • But i'm eating and i'm feeding.
  • 00:14:06.822 --> 00:14:11.026
  • I'm not complaining, amen?
  • 00:14:11.026 --> 00:14:16.999
  • By the way, the word "complain" in the bible, all right,
  • 00:14:16.999 --> 00:14:20.135
  • Is the word "luwn."
  • 00:14:20.135 --> 00:14:23.706
  • God hates it when his people complain.
  • 00:14:23.706 --> 00:14:26.308
  • In chinese, you have loon.
  • 00:14:26.308 --> 00:14:27.876
  • In english, also you have loony, all right?
  • 00:14:27.876 --> 00:14:32.681
  • And the word "luwn" is complain,
  • 00:14:32.681 --> 00:14:34.350
  • But it's also the word "to spend a night."
  • 00:14:34.350 --> 00:14:37.486
  • In other words, if you complain about your situation, god says,
  • 00:14:37.486 --> 00:14:40.022
  • "one more night."
  • 00:14:40.022 --> 00:14:42.124
  • In other words, you stay in that situation
  • 00:14:42.124 --> 00:14:43.892
  • One night, amen.
  • 00:14:43.892 --> 00:14:45.794
  • You complain, you remain.
  • 00:14:45.794 --> 00:14:48.163
  • You praise, you get a raise above your situation, all right?
  • 00:14:48.163 --> 00:14:52.434
  • Don't complain and remain.
  • 00:14:52.434 --> 00:14:54.036
  • Praise and be raised, hallelujah.
  • 00:14:54.036 --> 00:14:56.538
  • The battle is not yours, y'all. it's god's.
  • 00:14:56.538 --> 00:15:00.542
  • So you know what you say?
  • 00:15:00.542 --> 00:15:02.011
  • The greatest thing you can say: rest.
  • 00:15:02.011 --> 00:15:03.379
  • When it happens, say, "lord, it's not mine.
  • 00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:05.681
  • I cannot overcome this addiction.
  • 00:15:05.681 --> 00:15:08.417
  • The battle is yours."
  • 00:15:08.417 --> 00:15:10.519
  • And this is where a lot of people say,
  • 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:11.854
  • "uh, pastor prince, you know, you're teaching people
  • 00:15:11.854 --> 00:15:14.123
  • They can do whatever they want."
  • 00:15:14.123 --> 00:15:16.191
  • That's what you always say-- i don't know who you are.
  • 00:15:16.191 --> 00:15:20.062
  • But let me tell you this, mr. philistine.
  • 00:15:20.062 --> 00:15:23.599
  • I have a testimony here of a man who has been smoking
  • 00:15:23.599 --> 00:15:26.702
  • For 50 years.
  • 00:15:26.702 --> 00:15:28.037
  • Last week, i shared about people who were--
  • 00:15:28.037 --> 00:15:30.839
  • I mean, a guy who was on drug addiction
  • 00:15:30.839 --> 00:15:32.908
  • And, before that, pornography and all that.
  • 00:15:32.908 --> 00:15:35.611
  • Our ministry has testimonies of people being delivered
  • 00:15:35.611 --> 00:15:39.415
  • From drug addiction and also pornography.
  • 00:15:39.415 --> 00:15:43.352
  • These are the two areas.
  • 00:15:43.352 --> 00:15:45.554
  • So before you cry out to the highest heaven,
  • 00:15:45.554 --> 00:15:48.290
  • We need to teach on holiness.
  • 00:15:48.290 --> 00:15:49.825
  • Show me your results and i'll show you mine, okay?
  • 00:15:49.825 --> 00:15:53.896
  • So here is a guy who has been smoking for 50 years:
  • 00:15:53.896 --> 00:15:56.999
  • "i was a heavy smoker who used to smoke
  • 00:15:56.999 --> 00:16:00.536
  • A minimum of one packet of cigarettes per day.
  • 00:16:00.536 --> 00:16:04.139
  • One day, i made a decision to quit smoking
  • 00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:06.675
  • After hearing a sermon.
  • 00:16:06.675 --> 00:16:08.043
  • However, my efforts were in vain.
  • 00:16:08.043 --> 00:16:10.646
  • I started smoking again after a few days."
  • 00:16:10.646 --> 00:16:12.448
  • How many of you know that by trying, you cannot?
  • 00:16:12.448 --> 00:16:15.350
  • The battle is not yours. it is god's.
  • 00:16:15.350 --> 00:16:18.554
  • "then my son gave me joseph prince's book
  • 00:16:18.554 --> 00:16:21.457
  • 'destined to reign,' which i read in two weeks.
  • 00:16:21.457 --> 00:16:23.792
  • I realized that jesus has redeemed me
  • 00:16:23.792 --> 00:16:25.494
  • And this life is all about looking to him,
  • 00:16:25.494 --> 00:16:27.796
  • All about believing and receiving
  • 00:16:27.796 --> 00:16:29.264
  • What he has already done for me.
  • 00:16:29.264 --> 00:16:31.633
  • I felt a great desire to quit smoking."
  • 00:16:31.633 --> 00:16:34.369
  • Now, this is supernatural.
  • 00:16:34.369 --> 00:16:35.704
  • Some people try to stop but still have a desire.
  • 00:16:35.704 --> 00:16:37.840
  • He said, "i felt a great desire."
  • 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.208
  • "i reread some chapters from the book again
  • 00:16:39.208 --> 00:16:41.877
  • And wrote down my prayer on paper.
  • 00:16:41.877 --> 00:16:44.146
  • But this time--" listen, this was written
  • 00:16:44.146 --> 00:16:46.615
  • Before i preached this sermon.
  • 00:16:46.615 --> 00:16:47.950
  • "but this time, i decided not to fight against
  • 00:16:47.950 --> 00:16:50.919
  • My cigarette addiction."
  • 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:54.189
  • The battle is the lord's, all right?
  • 00:16:54.189 --> 00:16:55.858
  • He got a revelation from reading the book
  • 00:16:55.858 --> 00:16:57.693
  • "not to fight against my cigarette addiction
  • 00:16:57.693 --> 00:16:59.228
  • Because i knew i could not quit smoking successfully
  • 00:16:59.228 --> 00:17:02.631
  • Through my own efforts.
  • 00:17:02.631 --> 00:17:04.299
  • I just chose to rest in jesus,
  • 00:17:04.299 --> 00:17:06.768
  • Receiving his grace and believing
  • 00:17:06.768 --> 00:17:08.904
  • That he has set me free from my addiction at the cross.
  • 00:17:08.904 --> 00:17:11.974
  • It was not my battle, but his.
  • 00:17:11.974 --> 00:17:14.943
  • And he has already won it for me."
  • 00:17:14.943 --> 00:17:18.447
  • Okay, what's the result? what's the result?
  • 00:17:18.447 --> 00:17:20.682
  • And those of you who are shouting to the high heavens
  • 00:17:20.682 --> 00:17:22.684
  • How dangerous grace is
  • 00:17:22.684 --> 00:17:24.119
  • And talking about holiness, amen?
  • 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:26.622
  • This is the result.
  • 00:17:26.622 --> 00:17:27.956
  • "i just needed to continually realize
  • 00:17:27.956 --> 00:17:29.558
  • That i'm forgiven and justified by jesus's grace,
  • 00:17:29.558 --> 00:17:33.128
  • Not by my obedience or actions.
  • 00:17:33.128 --> 00:17:35.797
  • After struggling to quit smoking for 50 years,
  • 00:17:35.797 --> 00:17:39.101
  • Miraculously, by simply resting in jesus's finished work,
  • 00:17:39.101 --> 00:17:43.772
  • I have kicked the habit successfully and effortlessly.
  • 00:17:43.772 --> 00:17:48.343
  • I have been free of cigarettes.
  • 00:17:48.343 --> 00:17:50.279
  • Jesus has done it for me, hallelujah," amen.
  • 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:54.216
  • So by not fighting,
  • 00:17:54.216 --> 00:17:57.252
  • He's actually fighting, all right?
  • 00:17:57.252 --> 00:17:58.587
  • Two more verses. i'm going to close.
  • 00:17:58.587 --> 00:18:00.122
  • Let's look at the story of the people of god
  • 00:18:00.122 --> 00:18:02.724
  • Over in jehoshaphat here.
  • 00:18:02.724 --> 00:18:04.927
  • And he said, "battle is not yours, but god's."
  • 00:18:04.927 --> 00:18:06.862
  • You know what he did?
  • 00:18:06.862 --> 00:18:08.197
  • You know who he sent in front of him?
  • 00:18:08.197 --> 00:18:09.765
  • You know who he sent in front of him
  • 00:18:09.831 --> 00:18:11.200
  • To meet the great multitude?
  • 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:12.834
  • Praisers, worshipers, and they praised the lord
  • 00:18:12.834 --> 00:18:17.339
  • For the beauty of holiness by saying,
  • 00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:19.608
  • "praise the lord for he is good.
  • 00:18:19.608 --> 00:18:20.943
  • His mercies endures forever."
  • 00:18:20.943 --> 00:18:22.511
  • Now, when they arrived at the battle scene,
  • 00:18:22.511 --> 00:18:25.080
  • They found out all the enemies killed each other.
  • 00:18:25.080 --> 00:18:28.417
  • There was an internal fight, and they started fighting,
  • 00:18:28.417 --> 00:18:31.587
  • And all of them killed each other.
  • 00:18:31.587 --> 00:18:33.255
  • And for three days, israel was picking up the spoils of war.
  • 00:18:33.255 --> 00:18:36.525
  • And that whole valley is now called the valley of barakah.
  • 00:18:36.525 --> 00:18:40.596
  • It is still in israel. i've seen it.
  • 00:18:40.596 --> 00:18:41.930
  • It's a very beautiful, fruitful valley.
  • 00:18:41.930 --> 00:18:44.299
  • Barakah means blessing, the valley of blessing.
  • 00:18:44.299 --> 00:18:46.501
  • Are you feeling like there's a big problem coming your way?
  • 00:18:46.501 --> 00:18:49.204
  • Or you're in the midst of a difficulty?
  • 00:18:49.204 --> 00:18:51.106
  • Or the doctors have told you something?
  • 00:18:51.106 --> 00:18:52.674
  • Or something has happened and you see your child rebelling
  • 00:18:52.674 --> 00:18:55.177
  • And all that?
  • 00:18:55.177 --> 00:18:56.511
  • Let me tell you this.
  • 00:18:56.511 --> 00:18:57.846
  • The bigger the multitude, the bigger the valley,
  • 00:18:57.846 --> 00:19:00.949
  • And it's called the valley of blessing,
  • 00:19:00.949 --> 00:19:02.751
  • Awaiting you, amen?
  • 00:19:02.751 --> 00:19:05.220
  • And all you gotta do: praise the lord, stand still.
  • 00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:08.257
  • This is what god says. drop down.
  • 00:19:08.257 --> 00:19:10.158
  • God says, "you will not need to fight.
  • 00:19:10.158 --> 00:19:12.661
  • You won't need to fight in this battle.
  • 00:19:12.661 --> 00:19:15.597
  • Position yourself," number one,
  • 00:19:15.597 --> 00:19:17.566
  • "stand still and see the salvation of the lord."
  • 00:19:17.566 --> 00:19:21.536
  • If i can show you the hebrew, jesus's name, yeshua, in hebrew,
  • 00:19:21.536 --> 00:19:25.440
  • Is what you find down here.
  • 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:26.975
  • "position yourself, stand still and see jesus."
  • 00:19:26.975 --> 00:19:31.013
  • See jesus.
  • 00:19:31.013 --> 00:19:32.347
  • For those of you who know alef tav,
  • 00:19:32.347 --> 00:19:33.782
  • Alef tav appears here.
  • 00:19:33.782 --> 00:19:35.117
  • Alef tav, jesus, yahweh.
  • 00:19:35.117 --> 00:19:38.320
  • "don't be afraid! don't be dismayed.
  • 00:19:38.320 --> 00:19:40.656
  • Tomorrow go out against them. the lord is with you."
  • 00:19:40.656 --> 00:19:43.325
  • "pastor prince, they still have to go out and fight."
  • 00:19:43.325 --> 00:19:45.160
  • Yes, but they send singers to show how much they trust
  • 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.796
  • The battle is not theirs, praising the lord, amen?
  • 00:19:47.796 --> 00:19:52.501
  • Now we go to the time of moses in front of the red sea,
  • 00:19:52.501 --> 00:19:57.306
  • Armies of pharaoh coming behind,
  • 00:19:57.306 --> 00:19:58.707
  • The people yelling, "did you bring us out here to die, moses?
  • 00:19:58.707 --> 00:20:01.109
  • Is this what it's all about?"
  • 00:20:01.109 --> 00:20:02.444
  • And then bible says: "moses said to the people,
  • 00:20:02.444 --> 00:20:04.546
  • 'do not be afraid!
  • 00:20:04.546 --> 00:20:05.947
  • Stand still and see the salvation of the lord.'"
  • 00:20:05.947 --> 00:20:09.084
  • Same thing--see jesus, stand still, see the invisible.
  • 00:20:09.084 --> 00:20:13.989
  • The one who loves you, the one who cares for you,
  • 00:20:13.989 --> 00:20:17.459
  • The one who gave his life for you--
  • 00:20:17.459 --> 00:20:18.794
  • Look at him, all right?
  • 00:20:18.794 --> 00:20:21.330
  • "the egyptians," the disease you see on the x-ray,
  • 00:20:21.330 --> 00:20:26.668
  • The condition in your child, that lack, that debt,
  • 00:20:26.668 --> 00:20:31.940
  • The huge debt you're supposed to pay,
  • 00:20:31.940 --> 00:20:34.576
  • "that you see today,
  • 00:20:34.576 --> 00:20:36.011
  • You shall see again no more forever."
  • 00:20:36.011 --> 00:20:38.914
  • Why?
  • 00:20:38.914 --> 00:20:40.248
  • "the lord will fight for you, and you will hold your peace."
  • 00:20:40.248 --> 00:20:44.553
  • The lord will fight for you. the word "fight" here is lacham.
  • 00:20:44.553 --> 00:20:47.656
  • The lord will fight for you! you will hold your peace.
  • 00:20:47.656 --> 00:20:50.559
  • Okay, watch this, okay? hold your peace.
  • 00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.495
  • "i want to do something." hold your peace.
  • 00:20:53.495 --> 00:20:55.163
  • Hold it. hold it steady.
  • 00:20:55.163 --> 00:20:56.498
  • "i want to say something." hold your peace.
  • 00:20:56.498 --> 00:20:57.999
  • The lord will fight for you.
  • 00:20:57.999 --> 00:20:59.901
  • "maybe god needs my help." hold your peace!
  • 00:20:59.901 --> 00:21:01.903
  • The lord will fight for you.
  • 00:21:01.903 --> 00:21:03.238
  • "i don't see any difference. it's getting worse."
  • 00:21:03.238 --> 00:21:05.273
  • Hold your peace! hold your peace!
  • 00:21:05.273 --> 00:21:07.909
  • The lord will fight for you.
  • 00:21:07.909 --> 00:21:09.244
  • "i need to help god!" then god hold his peace.
  • 00:21:09.244 --> 00:21:12.481
  • [congregation laughing]
  • 00:21:12.481 --> 00:21:14.816
  • Remember this.
  • 00:21:16.585 --> 00:21:18.487
  • God must get all the glory. he doesn't share the glory.
  • 00:21:18.487 --> 00:21:22.090
  • I always say this and i say this reverently.
  • 00:21:22.090 --> 00:21:24.059
  • If god wants to get all the glory,
  • 00:21:24.059 --> 00:21:26.027
  • Let god do all the work.
  • 00:21:26.027 --> 00:21:29.564
  • Just sit there, "lord, lord, it's you and my x-ray,
  • 00:21:29.564 --> 00:21:34.469
  • What it says.
  • 00:21:34.469 --> 00:21:35.804
  • You, the battle is not mine. the battle is yours, lord.
  • 00:21:35.804 --> 00:21:37.672
  • The battle is yours. the battle is yours," amen?
  • 00:21:37.672 --> 00:21:41.143
  • My debt, my huge debt, it's not my problem.
  • 00:21:41.143 --> 00:21:43.578
  • It's your problem, lord.
  • 00:21:43.578 --> 00:21:44.913
  • The battle is yours. the battle is yours, lord.
  • 00:21:44.913 --> 00:21:46.481
  • And that will always come throughout the day.
  • 00:21:46.481 --> 00:21:47.883
  • It's a fight of faith. it's a beautiful fight of faith.
  • 00:21:47.883 --> 00:21:50.152
  • What are you going to do about it?
  • 00:21:50.152 --> 00:21:51.486
  • No, it's the lord. it's not mine.
  • 00:21:51.486 --> 00:21:53.221
  • The battle is not mine. you found the wrong guy, right?
  • 00:21:53.221 --> 00:21:54.990
  • ...
  • 00:21:54.990 --> 00:21:57.359
  • Look to the one, amen, who sees everything.
  • 00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:01.062
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:22:01.062 --> 00:22:02.397
  • Do you remember the story of the storm
  • 00:22:02.397 --> 00:22:04.499
  • That came to the disciples when they were on their way
  • 00:22:04.499 --> 00:22:06.435
  • To capernaum?
  • 00:22:06.435 --> 00:22:07.769
  • What happened?
  • 00:22:07.769 --> 00:22:09.104
  • Jesus was on a mountain
  • 00:22:09.104 --> 00:22:10.439
  • And he saw, in the lake of galilee,
  • 00:22:10.439 --> 00:22:11.773
  • There was a storm coming, and the disciples were rowing,
  • 00:22:11.773 --> 00:22:13.208
  • Rowing against the storm.
  • 00:22:13.208 --> 00:22:15.277
  • And the bible says he came to them.
  • 00:22:15.277 --> 00:22:16.645
  • But what happened before that? the feeding of the 5000.
  • 00:22:16.645 --> 00:22:20.549
  • So the disciples, before the storm, he fed them.
  • 00:22:20.549 --> 00:22:23.185
  • All his disciples had 12 basketsful left over
  • 00:22:23.185 --> 00:22:27.255
  • For the 12 disciples.
  • 00:22:27.255 --> 00:22:29.858
  • He fed them before the storm.
  • 00:22:29.858 --> 00:22:32.694
  • Listen, he will prepare you. he will feed you.
  • 00:22:32.694 --> 00:22:37.332
  • And after the storm, he will feed you.
  • 00:22:37.332 --> 00:22:40.302
  • During the storm, he will feed you.
  • 00:22:40.302 --> 00:22:42.604
  • You know how you win?
  • 00:22:42.604 --> 00:22:43.939
  • Not by str--"devil, devil, i come against you," all right?
  • 00:22:43.939 --> 00:22:47.609
  • Just feed.
  • 00:22:47.609 --> 00:22:49.044
  • When you feed, god fights for you.
  • 00:22:49.044 --> 00:22:52.814
  • He prepares a table before you.
  • 00:22:52.814 --> 00:22:54.916
  • I'm glad you came to church today.
  • 00:22:54.916 --> 00:22:57.085
  • I'm glad you are feeding on god's word.
  • 00:22:57.085 --> 00:22:59.921
  • Feeding is possessing. feeding is fighting.
  • 00:22:59.921 --> 00:23:06.261
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:23:06.261 --> 00:23:07.863
  • And remember this: you hold your peace, god won't.

  • And all those giants they were afraid of
  • 00:23:48.270 --> 00:23:50.372
  • 38 years ago, those tall anakims,
  • 00:23:50.372 --> 00:23:54.142
  • Big giants, lofty walls, all fell flat with one shout.
  • 00:23:54.142 --> 00:24:00.582
  • The lord will fight for you.
  • 00:24:00.582 --> 00:24:03.318
  • I don't care if it's cancer.
