Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - How God's Favor Can Transform Your Life | March 2, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.887
Joseph prince: we are always to live our life
00:00:12.822 --> 00:00:14.491
Like he's coming today.
00:00:14.491 --> 00:00:16.793
Like he's--always live our life like that.
00:00:16.793 --> 00:00:19.462
The imminency of the coming of our lord must always be
00:00:19.462 --> 00:00:24.067
Paramount in our hearts.
00:00:24.067 --> 00:00:25.401
Must know, it might be today, amen?
00:00:25.401 --> 00:00:27.570
What's going to happen?
00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:28.905
You'll have a brand-new body.
00:00:28.905 --> 00:00:30.273
Those who are alive and remain will not see death.
00:00:30.273 --> 00:00:33.009
They just have a brand-new body.
00:00:33.009 --> 00:00:34.377
When you interpret the bible,
00:00:34.377 --> 00:00:35.778
There's always a christ-centered truth
00:00:35.778 --> 00:00:40.450
In the scriptures.
00:00:40.450 --> 00:00:41.784
Especially in the old testament, you must bring christ out, okay?
00:00:41.784 --> 00:00:46.556
In the new testament, christ is out already--
00:00:46.556 --> 00:00:48.892
Very clear, amen.
00:00:48.892 --> 00:00:50.460
But in the old testament, you gotta bring christ out.
00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:52.695
So the first thing you gotta see is christ in this scripture.
00:00:52.695 --> 00:00:56.032
You'll have greater favor
00:00:56.032 --> 00:00:57.700
And with people that really matter.
00:00:57.700 --> 00:01:00.803
People that can make a difference.
00:01:00.803 --> 00:01:02.505
Maybe even vips, like the king represents a vip, right?
00:01:02.505 --> 00:01:06.809
People in authorities-- positions and all that.
00:01:06.809 --> 00:01:09.145
But just don't think about that. put your eyes on the lord.
00:01:09.145 --> 00:01:13.049
You have great favor with people that matter.
00:01:13.049 --> 00:01:15.818
This year it's all going to culminate.
00:01:15.818 --> 00:01:19.756
That's why i said
00:01:19.756 --> 00:01:21.090
Ask god for blessings and greater blessings.
00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:26.129
Bless me greatly.
00:01:26.129 --> 00:01:28.164
When god marks you, god looks your way with a smile.
00:01:28.164 --> 00:01:32.669
When god calls all the angels to pay attention on you
00:01:32.669 --> 00:01:36.372
And god releases so much of his favor, amen,
00:01:36.372 --> 00:01:40.643
It's going to transform your life to a place
00:01:40.643 --> 00:01:42.779
Where you are able to even do witnessing,
00:01:42.779 --> 00:01:45.114
And people, even before you open your mouth,
00:01:45.114 --> 00:01:46.816
They will see the blessings of god in your life
00:01:46.816 --> 00:01:50.220
They will find god-- through you.
00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:53.423
That's going to happen this year.
00:01:53.423 --> 00:01:54.824
I pray that more and more of you will serve the lord,
00:01:54.824 --> 00:01:57.393
Get involved in something that ultimately will lead
00:01:57.393 --> 00:01:59.996
To people coming to know jesus.
00:01:59.996 --> 00:02:02.699
God is moving mightily in the last days.
00:02:02.699 --> 00:02:06.502
How many are glad that this is gonna be the year
00:02:06.502 --> 00:02:08.304
We're gonna see all this happen, amen?
00:02:08.304 --> 00:02:11.774
Male announcer: are you ready for the rapture?
00:02:11.841 --> 00:02:13.509
How do you even get ready for the rapture?
00:02:13.509 --> 00:02:15.645
In today's message, joseph prince reveals
00:02:15.645 --> 00:02:17.714
Powerful truths about the rapture
00:02:17.714 --> 00:02:19.415
And the life that we are called to live
00:02:19.415 --> 00:02:21.384
As we await the return of our savior.
00:02:21.384 --> 00:02:24.087
In these perilous last days, what if the question isn't
00:02:24.087 --> 00:02:27.257
"will i be left behind?" but "what will i leave behind?"
00:02:27.257 --> 00:02:31.494
As we look at the world today, one thing is clear.
00:02:31.494 --> 00:02:34.264
People need to hear the good news--
00:02:34.264 --> 00:02:36.165
That god is not an angry god
00:02:36.165 --> 00:02:38.101
And that there is hope for these dark days.
00:02:38.101 --> 00:02:40.603
But our work is far from finished.
00:02:40.603 --> 00:02:42.605
When you support this ministry,
00:02:42.605 --> 00:02:44.107

00:02:50.113 --> 00:02:52.282
As quickly as possible.
00:02:52.282 --> 00:02:53.816
Every offering makes an eternal impact.

And now, here's pastor joseph prince
00:03:24.814 --> 00:03:27.183
With today's program.
00:03:27.183 --> 00:03:28.551
Joseph prince: jesus rose on the third day.
00:03:28.551 --> 00:03:29.919
1 corinthians 15 tells us, paul says,
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.356
This is the thing of most-- of first importance.
00:03:33.356 --> 00:03:36.926
"for i handed down to you as of first importance
00:03:36.926 --> 00:03:40.029
What i also received,
00:03:40.029 --> 00:03:42.298
That christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
00:03:42.298 --> 00:03:46.202
And that he was buried,
00:03:46.202 --> 00:03:47.537
And that he was raised on the third day
00:03:47.537 --> 00:03:49.305
According to the scriptures," okay?
00:03:49.305 --> 00:03:54.344
He was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.
00:03:54.344 --> 00:03:56.779
Now, how many years have passed since jesus died?
00:03:56.779 --> 00:03:59.916
Based on our gregorian calendar, 2000 years, right?
00:03:59.916 --> 00:04:05.755
We are in the...first part of the...third day.
00:04:05.755 --> 00:04:11.527
Hosea 6 tells us: "after two days he will revive us;
00:04:11.527 --> 00:04:16.466
On the third day he will raise us up,
00:04:16.466 --> 00:04:18.201
That we may live in his sight."
00:04:18.201 --> 00:04:20.770
After two days.
00:04:20.770 --> 00:04:22.939
"after two days he will revive us;
00:04:22.939 --> 00:04:26.042
On the third day he will raise us up,
00:04:26.042 --> 00:04:28.044
That we may live in his sight."
00:04:28.044 --> 00:04:30.380
Now this phrase, "live in his sight,"
00:04:30.380 --> 00:04:32.081
Is, like, literally face-to-face relationship.
00:04:32.081 --> 00:04:36.953
We are living in his sight.
00:04:36.953 --> 00:04:39.522
"let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the lord.
00:04:39.522 --> 00:04:41.824
His going forth is established as the morning;
00:04:41.824 --> 00:04:44.894
He will come to us like the rain,
00:04:44.894 --> 00:04:47.096
Like the latter and former rain to the earth."
00:04:47.096 --> 00:04:49.799
Now, when did jesus rise from the dead?
00:04:49.799 --> 00:04:52.835
Early in the morning, all right?
00:04:52.835 --> 00:04:55.405
In luke 24, it says: "now on the first day of the week,
00:04:55.405 --> 00:04:58.641
Very early in the morning,
00:04:58.641 --> 00:05:00.843
The women came and found the tomb empty."
00:05:00.843 --> 00:05:04.714
The stone is rolled away.
00:05:04.714 --> 00:05:06.649
But notice which part of the day,
00:05:06.649 --> 00:05:09.118
The third day, was it?
00:05:09.118 --> 00:05:10.686
Very early in the morning.
00:05:10.686 --> 00:05:12.655
"what does that mean, pastor prince?"
00:05:12.655 --> 00:05:13.990
Go back to hosea 6 again. "after two days."
00:05:13.990 --> 00:05:17.093
Now, after--say "after"--
00:05:17.093 --> 00:05:19.195
Which means "after 2000 years he will revive us;
00:05:19.195 --> 00:05:24.400
On the third day--"
00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:25.735
Actually, when you think about after two days,
00:05:25.735 --> 00:05:27.069
It's already the third day, isn't it?
00:05:27.069 --> 00:05:29.839
After two days, it's already after,
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.009
Which means the third day has come.
00:05:33.009 --> 00:05:35.545
And yet, there was something that god did
00:05:35.545 --> 00:05:37.413
Very speedily, very quickly, which is reviving his people.
00:05:37.413 --> 00:05:40.316
And then on the third day, which means what?
00:05:40.316 --> 00:05:42.885
On the third day proper, the day has come fully.
00:05:42.885 --> 00:05:45.321
And on the third day blessing is going to happen
00:05:45.321 --> 00:05:47.957
In an intensified way this year.
00:05:47.957 --> 00:05:51.561
So it says here: "after two days he will revive us."
00:05:51.561 --> 00:05:55.631
The revival will happen very quick.
00:05:55.631 --> 00:05:57.467
And i've seen with my own eyes,
00:05:57.467 --> 00:06:01.170
Heard messages, stories, testimonies of people
00:06:01.170 --> 00:06:07.910
Who are coming back to the lord, who are being revived.
00:06:07.910 --> 00:06:11.180
Christians, believers who left the lord,
00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:13.549
Who are coming back.
00:06:13.549 --> 00:06:14.884
Even in our church, we are seeing people
00:06:14.884 --> 00:06:16.219
Come back, amen, to the lord.
00:06:16.219 --> 00:06:18.888
I'm not just saying to our local church, okay?
00:06:18.888 --> 00:06:20.890
As long as they come back to the lord,
00:06:20.890 --> 00:06:22.859
Be it another church or whatever,
00:06:22.859 --> 00:06:24.193
They are coming back to the lord...amen.
00:06:24.193 --> 00:06:27.763
We are hearing testimonies after testimonies of that.
00:06:27.763 --> 00:06:30.633
We are hearing--i saw my classmate the other day.
00:06:30.633 --> 00:06:33.002
They're all coming back.
00:06:33.002 --> 00:06:34.403
So, very quickly, god is doing a revival, amen,
00:06:34.403 --> 00:06:38.541
That in the two days itself, he will, on the third day,
00:06:38.541 --> 00:06:41.744
He will raise us up.
00:06:41.744 --> 00:06:43.913
"he will raise us up, that we may live in his sight."
00:06:43.913 --> 00:06:48.117
"pastor, are you saying the rapture is going to happen
00:06:48.117 --> 00:06:49.619
This year?"
00:06:49.619 --> 00:06:50.953
We are to believe--listen.
00:06:50.953 --> 00:06:52.722
We are to believe because there are always people out there
00:06:52.722 --> 00:06:54.824
Who are ready to say, "ah!
00:06:54.824 --> 00:06:56.325
He said the rapture is going to--"
00:06:56.325 --> 00:06:57.660
I did not say that.
00:06:57.660 --> 00:07:00.530
We are to believe the rapture can happen anytime.
00:07:00.530 --> 00:07:05.301
Jesus says, "no one knows the day nor the hour."
00:07:05.301 --> 00:07:09.739
What, you think i'm smarter than jesus?
00:07:09.739 --> 00:07:15.111
Please. all right?
00:07:15.111 --> 00:07:16.846
So, but we are always to live our life like he's coming today.
00:07:16.846 --> 00:07:21.517
Like he's--always live our life like that.
00:07:21.517 --> 00:07:24.086
The imminency of the coming of our lord must always be
00:07:24.086 --> 00:07:28.558
Paramount in our hearts.
00:07:28.558 --> 00:07:29.892
Must know, it might be today, amen?
00:07:29.892 --> 00:07:32.628
What's going to happen?
00:07:32.628 --> 00:07:33.963
You'll have a brand-new body.
00:07:33.963 --> 00:07:35.298
Those who are alive and remain will not see death.
00:07:35.298 --> 00:07:38.067
They just have a brand-new body.
00:07:38.067 --> 00:07:39.402
All of a sudden, they feel so alive, they feel so strong.
00:07:39.402 --> 00:07:41.704
They look into the mirror, they're young, amen.
00:07:41.704 --> 00:07:45.408
You'll never grow old, never die.
00:07:45.408 --> 00:07:48.344
For how long? forever.
00:07:48.344 --> 00:07:50.780
Wow, boring, huh?
00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:52.515
Forever healthy, forever young, forever strong.
00:07:52.515 --> 00:07:55.151
Never feeling bored in that new body.
00:07:55.151 --> 00:07:56.953
You cannot feel bored.
00:07:56.953 --> 00:07:58.454
Death is thrown in the lake of fire.
00:07:58.454 --> 00:08:00.656
Death doesn't exist, the bible says.
00:08:00.656 --> 00:08:04.927
It could be--always there's a-- when you interpret the bible,
00:08:04.927 --> 00:08:08.664
There's always a christ-centered truth
00:08:08.664 --> 00:08:13.202
In the scriptures.
00:08:13.202 --> 00:08:14.537
Especially in the old testament, you must bring christ out, okay?
00:08:14.537 --> 00:08:19.241
In the new testament, christ is out already--
00:08:19.241 --> 00:08:22.078
Very clear, amen.
00:08:22.078 --> 00:08:23.412
But in the old testament, you gotta bring christ out.
00:08:23.412 --> 00:08:25.281
So the first thing you gotta see is christ in this scripture.
00:08:25.281 --> 00:08:29.852
And, therefore, it's the rapture, right?
00:08:29.852 --> 00:08:32.622
I said live our lives like it can happen anytime.
00:08:32.622 --> 00:08:36.425
But this is definitely referring to that:
00:08:36.425 --> 00:08:38.594
We will live in his sight.
00:08:38.594 --> 00:08:39.929
This phrase, "live in his sight,"
00:08:39.929 --> 00:08:41.263
Means literally you are living in his sight.
00:08:41.263 --> 00:08:43.899
Okay, "let us know,
00:08:43.899 --> 00:08:45.234
Let us pursue the knowledge of the lord.
00:08:45.234 --> 00:08:46.569
His going forth is established as the morning," you see?
00:08:46.569 --> 00:08:48.604
It is not like, in a way, no one knows the day
00:08:48.604 --> 00:08:51.974
Nor the hour, but you know, we can know the pattern.
00:08:51.974 --> 00:08:56.712
He will not do it on the first day,
00:08:56.712 --> 00:08:58.047
He will not do it on the second day,
00:08:58.047 --> 00:08:59.382
He will do it on the third day, right?
00:08:59.382 --> 00:09:01.817
And we are people after two days, amen?
00:09:01.817 --> 00:09:06.322
And, after two days, there was a marriage in canaan
00:09:06.322 --> 00:09:11.827
After two days.
00:09:11.827 --> 00:09:13.162
"on the third day there was a wedding in cana of galilee,
00:09:13.162 --> 00:09:16.599
And the mother of jesus was there."
00:09:16.599 --> 00:09:18.668
What day? on the third day.
00:09:18.668 --> 00:09:21.103
Does it really matter?
00:09:21.103 --> 00:09:22.438
Why did the holy spirit record this for us?
00:09:22.438 --> 00:09:25.141
Every word in the bible is inspired, god-breathed.
00:09:25.141 --> 00:09:28.010
We learned that, right, amen?
00:09:28.010 --> 00:09:30.312
So why did holy spirit inspire these words?
00:09:30.312 --> 00:09:33.616
"on the third day."
00:09:33.616 --> 00:09:37.053
On the third day.
00:09:37.053 --> 00:09:43.325
It's a message for you and i.
00:09:43.325 --> 00:09:44.760
There's going to be a marriage supper
00:09:44.760 --> 00:09:48.931
Of the lamb, amen?
00:09:48.931 --> 00:09:50.566
We know the first event
00:09:50.566 --> 00:09:52.234
That will happen after we are raptured
00:09:52.234 --> 00:09:53.602
Is the marriage supper of the lamb.
00:09:53.602 --> 00:09:56.272
So that's the first application, like hosea.
00:09:56.272 --> 00:09:59.208
Second application in hosea is that there will be a revival
00:09:59.208 --> 00:10:03.245
And god will start raising one by one up.
00:10:03.245 --> 00:10:06.248
Look at me.
00:10:06.248 --> 00:10:08.384
Many of you will be raised by god.
00:10:08.384 --> 00:10:11.554
Now, this is a personal application.
00:10:11.554 --> 00:10:13.556
Many will be raised by god to live in intimacy with him
00:10:13.556 --> 00:10:19.228
Like you are walking in his sight.
00:10:19.228 --> 00:10:22.231
You say, "but, pastor, i cannot walk in his sight."
00:10:22.231 --> 00:10:24.400
Watch how god does it.
00:10:24.400 --> 00:10:26.669
God looked at abraham when he was about 100 years old.
00:10:26.669 --> 00:10:30.005
And this is what god said to abraham:
00:10:30.005 --> 00:10:32.174
"walk before me and be thou perfect."
00:10:32.174 --> 00:10:36.011
Now, this is in the king james.
00:10:36.011 --> 00:10:38.013
Some translation put out "be thou blameless."
00:10:38.013 --> 00:10:40.616
But notice which one comes first.
00:10:40.616 --> 00:10:41.951
He didn't say, "be blameless."
00:10:41.951 --> 00:10:43.285
Religion says, "be blameless, then you can walk with god."
00:10:43.285 --> 00:10:47.723
It didn't say that.
00:10:47.723 --> 00:10:49.592
It didn't say, "you behave and then you can--"
00:10:49.592 --> 00:10:51.794
No, that's religion.
00:10:51.794 --> 00:10:53.662
Many of us believe that. we believe a lie.
00:10:53.662 --> 00:10:58.267
God's way is "walk before me.
00:10:58.267 --> 00:11:01.737
When you wake up, realize i'm smiling on you, amen.
00:11:01.737 --> 00:11:05.808
When you go to work, realize i go with you.
00:11:05.808 --> 00:11:09.445
Live with me, being conscious of my presence."
00:11:09.445 --> 00:11:12.782
And if you're a child of god,
00:11:12.782 --> 00:11:14.116
You know that you cannot see his frown.
00:11:14.116 --> 00:11:16.252
He will never frown on you again.
00:11:16.252 --> 00:11:17.586
In fact, he lifted his hands in isaiah 54,
00:11:17.586 --> 00:11:20.122
Swearing he'll never be angry with you.
00:11:20.122 --> 00:11:22.124
So all you see is his smile.
00:11:22.124 --> 00:11:24.093
Left and right, if you ever not look at him,
00:11:24.093 --> 00:11:26.595
You turn left and right, goodness and mercy is there.
00:11:26.595 --> 00:11:29.999
His goodness and mercy.
00:11:29.999 --> 00:11:31.467
They follow you all the days of your life, amen?
00:11:31.467 --> 00:11:34.403
Learn to live in his presence. and guess what?
00:11:34.403 --> 00:11:37.439
You are being perfected, amen. do you follow what i'm saying?
00:11:37.439 --> 00:11:46.949
Many of us say, "no, we got to evangelize
00:11:46.949 --> 00:11:49.451
And learn to become fishers of men."
00:11:49.451 --> 00:11:51.320
When i was a young christian, i was told,
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.022
"you got to learn to become a fisher of men.
00:11:53.022 --> 00:11:54.723
Learn how to be a fisher of men."
00:11:54.723 --> 00:11:56.926
But jesus did not say that.
00:11:56.926 --> 00:11:58.327
Jesus actually say, "follow me, and i will make you
00:11:58.327 --> 00:12:04.400
Fishers of men," okay?
00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:06.435
What's the first thing you do?
00:12:06.435 --> 00:12:07.803
"follow me and i will make you fishers of men."
00:12:07.803 --> 00:12:13.142
Another thing about resurrection,
00:12:13.142 --> 00:12:14.677
All right, is this:
00:12:14.677 --> 00:12:16.779
There's going to be a lot of resurrection.
00:12:16.779 --> 00:12:19.248
That means people being born again.
00:12:19.248 --> 00:12:20.783
Do you know being born again
00:12:20.783 --> 00:12:22.117
Is actually your spiritual resurrection?
00:12:22.117 --> 00:12:25.154
Now, there's a physical resurrection coming,
00:12:25.154 --> 00:12:26.956
Like jesus's resurrection is physical.
00:12:26.956 --> 00:12:29.225
But now we're not talking about the first application
00:12:29.225 --> 00:12:31.994
Of hosea 6 but the personal application.
00:12:31.994 --> 00:12:34.964
We're going to see this year a lot of spiritual resurrections
00:12:34.964 --> 00:12:40.669
Of young people, eutychus generation.
00:12:40.669 --> 00:12:44.373
Again, this year, you're going to see a lot of that.
00:12:44.373 --> 00:12:47.676
Amen? amen.
00:12:47.676 --> 00:12:50.546
Do you know that eutychus fell from which floor?
00:12:50.546 --> 00:12:54.550
Third floor.
00:12:54.550 --> 00:12:55.951
Third floor was called the upper room.
00:12:55.951 --> 00:12:58.053
Earlier--let me show you real quick.
00:12:58.053 --> 00:12:59.388
Acts 20: "now on the first day of the week,
00:12:59.388 --> 00:13:01.490
They came together," right?
00:13:01.490 --> 00:13:02.825
Okay, drop down to verse 8:
00:13:02.825 --> 00:13:04.627
"there were many lamps in the upper room
00:13:04.627 --> 00:13:06.228
Where they were gathered together."
00:13:06.228 --> 00:13:08.030
So this is the upper room
00:13:08.030 --> 00:13:09.531
Where they were gathered together, all right?
00:13:09.531 --> 00:13:11.400
And then eutychus, his name means "good fortune," amen.
00:13:11.400 --> 00:13:15.905
God records this for our learning, actually.
00:13:15.905 --> 00:13:18.107
There's a meaning in all these things.
00:13:18.107 --> 00:13:19.441
Eutychus is good fortune.
00:13:19.441 --> 00:13:20.910
The good fortune of the church fell off from its high place.
00:13:20.910 --> 00:13:25.514
Where is the high place? from which floor?
00:13:25.514 --> 00:13:26.849
He fell down from the third story.
00:13:26.849 --> 00:13:28.717
So the third story is the upper room.
00:13:28.717 --> 00:13:31.420
Well, that place has now become the time.
00:13:31.420 --> 00:13:34.056
The third story has become the third day,
00:13:34.056 --> 00:13:38.360
As far as we are concerned, this year.
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:42.798
It's a place of life, resurrection life.
00:13:42.798 --> 00:13:46.435
And you will see a lot of these eutychus people
00:13:46.435 --> 00:13:50.606
Coming back to the--
00:13:50.606 --> 00:13:51.941
And god is saying to the church,
00:13:51.941 --> 00:13:54.510
"these young people are your good fortune," amen.
00:13:54.510 --> 00:13:59.315
So we're going to endeavor to get more and more people saved.
00:13:59.315 --> 00:14:01.850
But not just the young; just evangelism as a whole.
00:14:01.850 --> 00:14:07.056
The lord says, "this year, embark more and more
00:14:07.056 --> 00:14:10.259
On evangelism and getting my people saved.
00:14:10.259 --> 00:14:14.129
Because they do not know they are
00:14:14.129 --> 00:14:15.798
Part of god's called ones," amen?
00:14:15.798 --> 00:14:18.500
Many are--multitudes are in the valley of decision,
00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:20.336
And god says this is the day, the year,
00:14:20.336 --> 00:14:23.806
Where there's going to be a release
00:14:23.806 --> 00:14:25.374
Of evangelistic anointing.
00:14:25.374 --> 00:14:28.110
You feel the flow, even one on one,
00:14:28.110 --> 00:14:30.145
Whoever it is, you know, you speak to,
00:14:30.145 --> 00:14:31.780
You find this easy flow...amen, to talk to them about jesus.
00:14:31.780 --> 00:14:38.487
Why?
00:14:38.487 --> 00:14:39.822
On the third day, he will raise them up, amen.
00:14:39.822 --> 00:14:43.826
He will raise us all up, and we will live in his sight.
00:14:43.826 --> 00:14:48.197
That's going to happen this year.
00:14:48.197 --> 00:14:51.900
I know all of you have favor with god,
00:14:51.900 --> 00:14:54.603
But you're going to have greater favor on the third day.
00:14:54.603 --> 00:14:59.041
Greater favor, intensified favor.
00:14:59.041 --> 00:15:01.310
Let me tell you this.
00:15:01.310 --> 00:15:04.380
This story is the story of god's people
00:15:04.380 --> 00:15:07.449
When they were in captivity in persia, back then persia,
00:15:07.449 --> 00:15:11.153
Today modern-day iran.
00:15:11.153 --> 00:15:13.622
And the queen has forfeited her role, her office.
00:15:13.622 --> 00:15:18.660
And the king is now looking for a new queen, right?
00:15:18.660 --> 00:15:21.897
So there was a beauty contest and we know esther got it.
00:15:21.897 --> 00:15:24.767
But esther is a jewess. part of god's people are jew.
00:15:24.767 --> 00:15:29.138
And--but her uncle told her to hide her identity
00:15:29.138 --> 00:15:32.307
And she became, you know, the queen.
00:15:32.307 --> 00:15:36.045
But there is a law that says you cannot come into the presence
00:15:36.045 --> 00:15:39.281
Of the king of persia
00:15:39.281 --> 00:15:40.682
Even though you are the wife
00:15:40.682 --> 00:15:43.285
Unless he stretch out his scepter.
00:15:43.285 --> 00:15:46.722
Then only, that means you are favored.
00:15:46.722 --> 00:15:49.792
But the bible says the reason she won the beauty contest
00:15:49.792 --> 00:15:52.227
In the first place was because she was favored.
00:15:52.227 --> 00:15:55.030
So favor was there already. now, why is this important?
00:15:55.030 --> 00:15:59.468
Why is this favor important?
00:15:59.468 --> 00:16:00.803
Because there was an enemy in the house, in the palace,
00:16:00.803 --> 00:16:04.940
Of the king of persia.
00:16:04.940 --> 00:16:08.077
And this man, his name is haman. and haman is very evil.
00:16:08.077 --> 00:16:11.947
He hates the jewish people.
00:16:11.947 --> 00:16:14.616
And what happened is that he was planning to destroy all of them.
00:16:14.616 --> 00:16:18.253
He had the king unwittingly sign something that on a certain day,
00:16:18.253 --> 00:16:24.426
All the jews will be exterminated,
00:16:24.426 --> 00:16:28.263
And the king signed on it.
00:16:28.263 --> 00:16:29.598
The day is there.
00:16:29.598 --> 00:16:32.201
And mordecai, esther's uncle, told esther,
00:16:32.201 --> 00:16:36.872
"don't think that just because you are in the palace,
00:16:36.872 --> 00:16:39.241
You will escape."
00:16:39.241 --> 00:16:40.909
He says that "you need to help us.
00:16:40.909 --> 00:16:44.947
You need to take advantage."
00:16:44.947 --> 00:16:46.748
"but see, there's a law.
00:16:46.748 --> 00:16:48.083
If i go to the king just like that,
00:16:48.083 --> 00:16:50.486
He'll take my head off.
00:16:50.486 --> 00:16:51.820
There's a law, you know? and he'll have another queen.
00:16:51.820 --> 00:16:54.823
I can't just say, 'do it.'"
00:16:54.823 --> 00:16:57.025
Then she says, "i'll do it. but you pray for me.
00:16:57.025 --> 00:16:58.494
You get all the people of god to pray for me.
00:16:58.494 --> 00:17:02.364
And if i perish, i perish," okay?
00:17:02.364 --> 00:17:05.934
So it's very crucial that she has favor
00:17:05.934 --> 00:17:07.569
Because it means life and death.
00:17:07.569 --> 00:17:11.373
And this part here, this part here,
00:17:11.373 --> 00:17:12.808
The lord spoke to me and he says,
00:17:12.808 --> 00:17:15.344
"favor this year is not just a matter of like, you know,
00:17:15.344 --> 00:17:18.614
You get by, you get a good deal, you close the deal,
00:17:18.614 --> 00:17:21.116
And that kind of thing.
00:17:21.116 --> 00:17:22.451
No, no, no. it can mean life or death."
00:17:22.451 --> 00:17:26.388
It can mean also spiritual death for some people, right?
00:17:26.388 --> 00:17:31.126
They don't want to accept jesus.
00:17:31.126 --> 00:17:34.163
So you need favor with people before they accept jesus.
00:17:34.163 --> 00:17:37.666
Think about it.
00:17:37.666 --> 00:17:39.234
They don't like you, they don't like your message.
00:17:39.234 --> 00:17:42.371
And by the way, let me put a caveat here by saying,
00:17:42.371 --> 00:17:45.474
When you believe god for favor,
00:17:45.474 --> 00:17:46.808
Just know that not everybody will love you.
00:17:46.808 --> 00:17:50.846
Because the servant is not greater than his master.
00:17:50.846 --> 00:17:54.683
Jesus had favor.
00:17:54.683 --> 00:17:56.051
In fact, the bible says he grew up in wisdom and stature
00:17:56.051 --> 00:17:58.387
And favor with god and man.
00:17:58.387 --> 00:18:00.055
He had so much favor that people flocked, multitudes flocked,
00:18:00.055 --> 00:18:03.091
To hear him.
00:18:03.091 --> 00:18:04.893
But does that mean he has favor with everybody?
00:18:04.893 --> 00:18:07.262
No!
00:18:07.262 --> 00:18:08.864
Who were the ones that hated him?
00:18:08.864 --> 00:18:10.432
The religious ones, the pharisees,
00:18:10.432 --> 00:18:14.603
The religious mafia of that day.
00:18:14.603 --> 00:18:19.474
He didn't have favor with them, right?
00:18:19.474 --> 00:18:23.779
But he had favor with pontius pilate,
00:18:23.779 --> 00:18:25.180
Who tried his best to release him.
00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:30.452
Jesus had to keep his mouth shut to keep himself
00:18:30.452 --> 00:18:34.756
In the place of bondage at that time
00:18:34.756 --> 00:18:38.527
So that we can be free.
00:18:38.527 --> 00:18:40.429
Because if he spoke up, favor is released.
00:18:40.429 --> 00:18:45.667
So know that favor will work.
00:18:45.667 --> 00:18:47.769
I'm talking about people that really matter to you.
00:18:47.769 --> 00:18:49.805
And this year is going to happen with people that really matter
00:18:49.805 --> 00:18:52.507
To you.
00:18:52.507 --> 00:18:53.842
Because the king is someone that really mattered,
00:18:53.842 --> 00:18:55.911
Who can make a difference, amen?
00:18:55.911 --> 00:19:01.250
And when did it happen?
00:19:01.250 --> 00:19:02.584
"now it happened on the-- it happened on--
00:19:02.584 --> 00:19:09.758
It happened on the third day that esther put on
00:19:09.758 --> 00:19:13.161
Her royal robes."
00:19:13.161 --> 00:19:14.863
You know what is your royal robe?
00:19:14.863 --> 00:19:16.198
The robe of righteousness, amen.
00:19:16.198 --> 00:19:19.368
Make sure that you are righteousness conscious--
00:19:19.368 --> 00:19:22.237
Not sin conscious; christ conscious,
00:19:22.237 --> 00:19:25.907
Not self-conscious, amen?
00:19:25.907 --> 00:19:29.678
That's your royal robe.
00:19:29.678 --> 00:19:31.713
"and stood in the inner court of the king's palace,
00:19:31.713 --> 00:19:34.583
Across from the king's house,
00:19:34.583 --> 00:19:35.917
While the king sat on his royal throne
00:19:35.917 --> 00:19:37.786
In the royal house, facing the entrance of the house.
00:19:37.786 --> 00:19:41.323
So it was, when the king saw queen esther
00:19:41.323 --> 00:19:43.392
Standing in the court, that she found," what?
00:19:43.392 --> 00:19:46.995
"favor in his sight."
00:19:46.995 --> 00:19:48.330
Remember, she already found favor.
00:19:48.330 --> 00:19:50.565
I told you before, we are blessed.
00:19:50.565 --> 00:19:51.900
We can be blessed again.
00:19:51.900 --> 00:19:53.235
She already found favor to become a queen.
00:19:53.235 --> 00:19:55.604
Now she needs favor in the area of life and death.
00:19:55.604 --> 00:19:58.974
She needs greater favor, right?
00:19:58.974 --> 00:20:01.843
"and she found favor in his sight,
00:20:01.843 --> 00:20:04.012
And the king held out to esther the golden scepter
00:20:04.012 --> 00:20:06.682
That was in his hand.
00:20:06.682 --> 00:20:08.016
Then esther went near and touched the top
00:20:08.016 --> 00:20:10.218
Of the scepter."
00:20:10.218 --> 00:20:11.553
The king doesn't always stretch out his scepter.
00:20:11.553 --> 00:20:13.822
When he does it, it means what? you have favor.
00:20:13.822 --> 00:20:15.957
In fact, when she was chosen as a wife,
00:20:15.957 --> 00:20:18.960
There was no stretching of the scepter.
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.596
This time, he's saying, "all my rule is also yours,
00:20:21.596 --> 00:20:25.734
In essence, by letting you touch my scepter."
00:20:25.734 --> 00:20:28.070
Because no one touches the king's scepter but the king.
00:20:28.070 --> 00:20:31.606
He can just say, "you're allowed in my presence."
00:20:31.606 --> 00:20:33.809
That's favor enough.
00:20:33.809 --> 00:20:35.143
But this is intense favor to stretch out.
00:20:35.143 --> 00:20:37.379
In fact, the king said something else to esther:
00:20:37.379 --> 00:20:41.149
"esther, what is your request?
00:20:41.149 --> 00:20:43.452
I'll give you to half my kingdom."
00:20:43.452 --> 00:20:46.988
That's greater favor than a wife!
00:20:46.988 --> 00:20:49.791
In those days, the wife don't inherit everything,
00:20:49.791 --> 00:20:51.493
You know, yep.
00:20:51.493 --> 00:20:55.864
The son does.
00:20:55.864 --> 00:20:58.767
He says, "i'll give you half the kingdom."
00:20:58.767 --> 00:21:01.336
Get ready for this.
00:21:01.336 --> 00:21:03.038
You'll have greater favor
00:21:03.038 --> 00:21:04.840
And with people that really matter.
00:21:04.840 --> 00:21:07.642
People that can make a difference.
00:21:07.642 --> 00:21:09.177
Maybe even vips, like the king represents a vip, right?
00:21:09.177 --> 00:21:13.315
People in authorities-- positions and all that.
00:21:13.315 --> 00:21:15.984
But just don't think about that. put your eyes on the lord.
00:21:15.984 --> 00:21:19.955
You have great favor with people that matter.
00:21:19.955 --> 00:21:23.125
For me, what matters?
00:21:23.125 --> 00:21:24.926
You know, you all can say, you know, "oh, pastor that--"
00:21:24.926 --> 00:21:28.029
You know, like you want to encourage me,
00:21:28.029 --> 00:21:30.098
You say some good words about my ministry or whatever,
00:21:30.098 --> 00:21:32.567
But when my wife says it,
00:21:32.567 --> 00:21:34.436
It is times 1000 what you said, amen.
00:21:34.436 --> 00:21:40.308
So what you wife say to your husband
00:21:40.308 --> 00:21:42.344
Gives him wings to fly
00:21:42.344 --> 00:21:45.147
Instead of just trodging down here below, you know, amen?
00:21:45.147 --> 00:21:50.152
You don't know the power of your words, ladies.
00:21:50.152 --> 00:21:54.423
This year it's all going to culminate.
00:21:54.423 --> 00:21:58.393
That's why i said
00:21:58.393 --> 00:21:59.728
Ask god for blessings and greater blessings.
00:21:59.728 --> 00:22:04.499
Bless me greatly.
00:22:04.499 --> 00:22:06.868
When god marks you, god looks your way with a smile.
00:22:06.868 --> 00:22:11.239
When god calls all the angels to pay attention on you
00:22:11.239 --> 00:22:14.976
And god releases so much of his favor, amen,
00:22:14.976 --> 00:22:19.181
It's going to transform your life to a place
00:22:19.181 --> 00:22:21.683
Where you are able to even do witnessing,
00:22:21.683 --> 00:22:23.785
And people, even before you open your mouth,
00:22:23.785 --> 00:22:25.420
They will see the blessings of god in your life
00:22:25.420 --> 00:22:29.057
And it will come to pass that what god says,
00:22:29.057 --> 00:22:31.793
They will hold the skirt of a jew,
00:22:31.793 --> 00:22:33.762
Which means hold the garment of a jew, and says,
00:22:33.762 --> 00:22:35.864
We'll go with you to the house of god.
00:22:35.864 --> 00:22:38.066
In other words, god says to the gentiles, right?
00:22:38.066 --> 00:22:40.235
In romans, to gentile christians,
00:22:40.235 --> 00:22:42.737
That even the jewish people will envy you for the blessings
00:22:42.737 --> 00:22:47.209
They see on your life.
00:22:47.209 --> 00:22:48.543
Because they recognize these blessings,
00:22:48.543 --> 00:22:50.345
Because they are familiar with the old testament,
00:22:50.345 --> 00:22:52.414
So they recognize and they will ask you, why is this so?
00:22:52.414 --> 00:22:55.250
You will provoke them to jealousy.
00:22:55.250 --> 00:22:57.786
And i tell you something about jewish people, all right?
00:22:57.786 --> 00:22:59.754
You can't just provoke them to jealousy
00:22:59.754 --> 00:23:01.089
With your inner peace, all right?
00:23:01.089 --> 00:23:05.360
So you think, what will be the blessings
00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:07.496
That are so tangible, so real in your life
00:23:07.496 --> 00:23:09.731
That can provoke a jew?
00:23:09.731 --> 00:23:12.601
But the bible says in the book of romans--
00:23:12.601 --> 00:23:14.269
You can find this in romans--
00:23:14.269 --> 00:23:15.604
It says that by provoking them to jealousy,
00:23:15.604 --> 00:23:18.740
They will find god-- through you.
00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:21.776
That's going to happen this year.
00:23:21.776 --> 00:23:23.111
I pray that more and more of you will serve the lord,
00:23:23.111 --> 00:23:25.680
Get involved in something that ultimately will lead
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:28.650
To people coming to know jesus.
00:23:28.650 --> 00:23:31.286
Even the house of god,
00:23:31.286 --> 00:23:32.621
Everything that we do is to create an environment,
00:23:32.621 --> 00:23:35.290
To create an opportunity, for people to hear jesus.
00:23:35.290 --> 00:23:39.828
You know, god is moving mightily in the last days.
00:23:39.828 --> 00:23:43.832
How many are glad that this is gonna be the year
00:23:43.832 --> 00:23:45.534
We're gonna see all this happen, amen?
00:23:45.534 --> 00:23:49.170

Joseph prince: lift your hands all across this place.

Just for a while, will you pray the prayer?
00:24:23.004 --> 00:24:26.107
The "o" speaks from a heartfelt place, isn't it?
00:24:26.107 --> 00:24:30.078
O that you will bless me.
00:24:30.078 --> 00:24:31.780
Ask the lord to bless you and bless you greatly.
00:24:31.780 --> 00:24:34.282
Tell the lord--don't feel selfish, don't feel that.
00:24:34.282 --> 00:24:36.518
No, no, no, no. you're looking to god.
00:24:36.518 --> 00:24:38.553
That's honorable. that's honorable.
00:24:38.553 --> 00:24:41.923
Call upon god.
00:24:41.923 --> 00:24:43.258
Say, "god, bless me and my family.
00:24:43.258 --> 00:24:44.593
Bless them greatly, lord.
00:24:44.593 --> 00:24:46.528
Bless my children in their studies, lord.
00:24:46.528 --> 00:24:48.463
Bless my wife, lord.
00:24:48.463 --> 00:24:50.198
Bless my--what i do, lord. my business, lord.
00:24:50.198 --> 00:24:53.435
Bless, lord, my ministry. bless, lord, i pray.
00:24:53.435 --> 00:24:56.471
And bless greatly. bless greatly in jesus's name.
00:24:56.471 --> 00:25:01.576
O that you will bless me, lord,
00:25:01.576 --> 00:25:02.911
That i'll be known as a person that's blessed."
00:25:02.911 --> 00:25:07.315
When others ask you, "you are so lucky,"
00:25:07.315 --> 00:25:09.651
Remember, no, not lucky; blessed, amen?
00:25:09.651 --> 00:25:14.055
And now say, "lord, extend my property.
00:25:14.055 --> 00:25:18.326
Extend my sphere of influence.
00:25:18.326 --> 00:25:22.063
Extend my borders, that i might be a greater blessing
00:25:22.063 --> 00:25:27.602
To more people, and protect me and my family
00:25:27.602 --> 00:25:33.141
Throughout this year from evil,
00:25:33.141 --> 00:25:37.212
In jesus's name, amen."
00:25:37.212 --> 00:25:40.248
