Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - How to Live Beyond Your Emotions | July 23, 2025

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.310
>> joseph prince: are you seeing what god is showing you?
00:00:13.322 --> 00:00:15.958
Are you seeing what the devil is projecting into you?
00:00:15.958 --> 00:00:19.495
The devil wants you to see the enemies alive and well.
00:00:19.495 --> 00:00:23.832
All your sinful tendencies is alive and well.
00:00:23.832 --> 00:00:26.368
"but pastor prince, they are there.
00:00:26.368 --> 00:00:28.170
They literally are there."
00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:29.605
I know you feel them.
00:00:29.605 --> 00:00:31.273
But what you feel is not reality.
00:00:31.273 --> 00:00:33.008
Feelings is not the barometer for truth.
00:00:33.008 --> 00:00:36.111
Romans 6 verse 11, jesus died to sin once and for all.
00:00:36.111 --> 00:00:39.882
Where? at the cross, amen?
00:00:39.882 --> 00:00:41.950
So in other words, if i see jesus as my real self,
00:00:41.950 --> 00:00:44.553
I see him on the other side of the grave.
00:00:44.553 --> 00:00:47.389
He is risen, amen?
00:00:47.389 --> 00:00:49.691

00:01:39.641 --> 00:01:41.944
With today's program.
00:01:41.944 --> 00:01:43.445
>> joseph prince: today, i want to share with you
00:01:43.445 --> 00:01:45.013
How to possess one more area in your life.
00:01:45.013 --> 00:01:46.582
You know, there are times in our life we begin
00:01:46.582 --> 00:01:49.017
To realize that, you know, this promise that jesus gave us,
00:01:49.017 --> 00:01:52.321
He said, "i am come that you might have life,
00:01:52.321 --> 00:01:55.490
And that you might have it more abundantly."
00:01:55.490 --> 00:01:59.061
Then we wonder sometimes as we go along
00:01:59.061 --> 00:02:00.963
In our christian life, how come i'm seeing
00:02:00.963 --> 00:02:02.798
The old foes, you know, when i say about the enemies
00:02:02.798 --> 00:02:05.734
Of our soul, i'm referring to the sinful stirrings
00:02:05.734 --> 00:02:09.037
And the sinful workings and the outworkings in us
00:02:09.037 --> 00:02:12.241
That is not godly, that is not holy,
00:02:12.241 --> 00:02:14.543
That is not of christ.
00:02:14.543 --> 00:02:16.111
And we see them coming up and sometimes, you know,
00:02:16.111 --> 00:02:18.847
They come up in full life and in color.
00:02:18.847 --> 00:02:23.118
And we ask ourself, i thought, you know, i've grown so much
00:02:23.118 --> 00:02:26.788
In the lord.
00:02:26.788 --> 00:02:28.156
And sometimes they come during our prayer time
00:02:28.156 --> 00:02:30.459
Or while we are involved in some spiritual exercise.
00:02:30.459 --> 00:02:35.130
We thought that when we are doing these things,
00:02:35.130 --> 00:02:37.032
These things should not rise up.
00:02:37.032 --> 00:02:38.500
These things should not happen.
00:02:38.500 --> 00:02:40.135
So what is the answer that god has for us
00:02:40.135 --> 00:02:42.504
Pertaining to that?
00:02:42.504 --> 00:02:43.839
And many of you, you still find that after a period
00:02:43.839 --> 00:02:46.508
Or bout of victory in your life, a glorious season with the lord,
00:02:46.508 --> 00:02:52.481
You find that you thought that maybe
00:02:52.481 --> 00:02:54.082
You are on the mountaintop, you'll never
00:02:54.082 --> 00:02:55.751
Be in the valley again.
00:02:55.751 --> 00:02:57.252
The very next thing, after a great victory sometimes
00:02:57.252 --> 00:02:59.187
Comes a great defeat.
00:02:59.187 --> 00:03:01.523
And it's because of your flesh, because your flesh
00:03:01.523 --> 00:03:04.326
Broke out again.
00:03:04.326 --> 00:03:05.794
Sometimes your flesh can be quiet for a while,
00:03:05.794 --> 00:03:08.030
For a season, and then there's an outbreak.
00:03:08.030 --> 00:03:10.832
Why are these things so?
00:03:10.832 --> 00:03:12.534
There's a difference between redemption by blood
00:03:12.534 --> 00:03:15.504
And redemption by power.
00:03:15.504 --> 00:03:17.406
There are two sides to redemption.
00:03:17.406 --> 00:03:19.941
And the bible teaches that.
00:03:19.941 --> 00:03:21.410
Redemption by blood is in egypt, the children of israel,
00:03:21.410 --> 00:03:24.813
They were sheltered, they were protected
00:03:24.813 --> 00:03:28.417
From the destroyer because of the blood
00:03:28.417 --> 00:03:31.320
Of the lamb; the judgment cannot touch them.
00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:34.189
In fact, the judgment has to pass over them.
00:03:34.189 --> 00:03:36.525
Although they are guilty, although they are sinners,
00:03:36.525 --> 00:03:40.195
Because of the blood on the doorposts
00:03:40.195 --> 00:03:43.398
And on the lintel, amen?
00:03:43.398 --> 00:03:45.801
The blood speaks to god and the blood says,
00:03:45.801 --> 00:03:48.403
"there has been a death in this house.
00:03:48.403 --> 00:03:50.505
An innocent has died for the guilty."
00:03:50.505 --> 00:03:53.375
And it's a picture of the cross of jesus christ,
00:03:53.375 --> 00:03:55.377
That's where the blood on the doorpost
00:03:55.377 --> 00:03:57.145
And on the lintel.
00:03:57.145 --> 00:03:58.580
And the lamb speaks of jesus, the lamb of god,
00:03:58.580 --> 00:04:00.716
Who shed his blood and the lamb of god,
00:04:00.716 --> 00:04:02.784
Through his blood, has obtained for us eternal redemption.
00:04:02.784 --> 00:04:06.722
The blood of jesus christ cleanses us
00:04:06.722 --> 00:04:08.790
From every sin, hallelujah.
00:04:08.790 --> 00:04:11.093
So that is redemption by blood.
00:04:11.093 --> 00:04:13.528
And everything, you know, has its foundation
00:04:13.528 --> 00:04:16.798
Because of the blood of jesus, amen.
00:04:16.798 --> 00:04:18.967
Through the blood, we are blessed.
00:04:18.967 --> 00:04:20.569
Through the blood, we are healed.
00:04:20.569 --> 00:04:22.137
Through the blood, we receive all the blessings of god.
00:04:22.137 --> 00:04:25.040
That is the foundation.
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:26.541
But then, in our practical life, in our daily life,
00:04:26.541 --> 00:04:29.678
There's an outworking of that redemption.
00:04:29.678 --> 00:04:31.747
And that's redemption by power.
00:04:31.747 --> 00:04:33.915
We need to understand the flesh is the part of us
00:04:33.915 --> 00:04:36.785
That wants to do wrong, that wants to sin.
00:04:36.785 --> 00:04:39.955
Now child of god, let me just rest your heart here.
00:04:39.955 --> 00:04:42.190
You are not the flesh. you are not the flesh.
00:04:42.190 --> 00:04:45.594
In romans 8: "so then, those who are in the flesh
00:04:45.594 --> 00:04:49.030
Cannot please god."
00:04:49.030 --> 00:04:50.365
We all know that.
00:04:50.365 --> 00:04:51.900
Those who are in the flesh cannot please god.
00:04:51.900 --> 00:04:53.335
But child of god, listen. you are not in the flesh.
00:04:53.335 --> 00:04:57.639
"but you are not in the flesh but in the spirit."
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.710
And the criterion: "if indeed the spirit of god dwells in you.
00:05:01.710 --> 00:05:06.848
Now if anyone does not have the spirit of christ,
00:05:06.848 --> 00:05:09.251
He is not his."
00:05:09.251 --> 00:05:10.652
So if you have the holy spirit, hallelujah,
00:05:10.652 --> 00:05:13.688
And i know that you do if you put your faith in christ,
00:05:13.688 --> 00:05:16.691
Then you are no more in the flesh.
00:05:16.691 --> 00:05:19.594
But the flesh is in you, amen?
00:05:19.594 --> 00:05:22.097
Just if i have a little splinter in my finger,
00:05:22.097 --> 00:05:24.966
I'm not a piece of wood, amen.
00:05:24.966 --> 00:05:28.170
Even though the splinter is in me, right, in my finger,
00:05:28.170 --> 00:05:32.340
But i am not a piece of wood, amen?
00:05:32.340 --> 00:05:35.544
You are not in the flesh.
00:05:35.544 --> 00:05:37.946
You are in the spirit because god's spirit
00:05:37.946 --> 00:05:41.683
Dwells in you.
00:05:41.683 --> 00:05:43.018
So remember that. that is your true identity.
00:05:43.018 --> 00:05:44.719
But then we are battling with the flesh.
00:05:44.719 --> 00:05:47.923
And the very fact that you don't like it,
00:05:47.923 --> 00:05:50.025
The fact that you feel a shame of it, the fact is
00:05:50.025 --> 00:05:53.762
That you feel frustrated, you feel depressed over it
00:05:53.762 --> 00:05:57.132
When it rises up and sometimes you indulge in it
00:05:57.132 --> 00:05:59.835
And you feel even more depressed after that.
00:05:59.835 --> 00:06:01.870
You know, friend, that shows that you are truly born again,
00:06:01.870 --> 00:06:04.606
That you are a child of god.
00:06:04.606 --> 00:06:06.341
But we don't want to live a defeated life either, amen.
00:06:06.341 --> 00:06:09.144
Has god made provision for us?
00:06:09.144 --> 00:06:10.812
Indeed, he has. hallelujah, amen.
00:06:10.812 --> 00:06:13.181
Like the apostle paul, he was struggling
00:06:13.181 --> 00:06:15.016
In this struggle and he was saying, you know,
00:06:15.016 --> 00:06:17.118
"the good i want to do, i do it not.
00:06:17.118 --> 00:06:19.488
But the evil i don't want to do, i am doing."
00:06:19.488 --> 00:06:22.457
Now, "if i do that which i don't want to do,
00:06:22.457 --> 00:06:25.527
It shows that it is not me.
00:06:25.527 --> 00:06:27.529
It's not i that do it." it sounds like a cop-out.
00:06:27.529 --> 00:06:30.098
But paul is saying the real me is not the one involved
00:06:30.098 --> 00:06:32.133
Because the real me is not the flesh.
00:06:32.133 --> 00:06:33.802
The real me is in the spirit, the new creation, right?
00:06:33.802 --> 00:06:36.638
So he says that, "but sin that dwelleth in me."
00:06:36.638 --> 00:06:38.907
So paul made a remarkable statement
00:06:38.907 --> 00:06:40.909
When paul says, "for i know that in me
00:06:40.909 --> 00:06:44.880
(that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing."
00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:48.617
Child of god, please don't go through a series
00:06:48.617 --> 00:06:52.120
Of long experiences in your life and wasting your time
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.724
In the wilderness to discover that in your flesh
00:06:55.724 --> 00:06:59.427
Dwells no good thing.
00:06:59.427 --> 00:07:00.929
Rest now, amen?
00:07:00.929 --> 00:07:02.364
See your flesh as in your flesh dwells no good thing, amen?
00:07:02.364 --> 00:07:06.601
This is an amazing truth.
00:07:06.601 --> 00:07:08.169
The day that you discover this revelation, child of god,
00:07:08.169 --> 00:07:11.072
You'll be so blessed.
00:07:11.072 --> 00:07:12.641
You know, it's like heaven on earth.
00:07:12.641 --> 00:07:14.175
When i discovered this, it's like heaven on earth
00:07:14.175 --> 00:07:15.977
Because it's like the spirit of god is telling me,
00:07:15.977 --> 00:07:18.280
"you are no longer you.
00:07:18.280 --> 00:07:21.016
Look at jesus.
00:07:21.016 --> 00:07:22.450
That is your true self today."
00:07:22.450 --> 00:07:25.353
That's how the new testament teaches it.
00:07:25.353 --> 00:07:27.923
Our life.
00:07:27.923 --> 00:07:29.257
When christ who is our life— notice christ who is our life.
00:07:29.257 --> 00:07:33.828
You are no longer in yourself. you are in christ.
00:07:33.828 --> 00:07:37.933
In other words, in christ means, as he is, so are we
00:07:37.933 --> 00:07:42.003
In this world, amen?
00:07:42.003 --> 00:07:44.205
As we are in christ risen. where is he now?
00:07:44.205 --> 00:07:47.075
He is risen, amen? he is ascended.
00:07:47.075 --> 00:07:50.211
He has been glorified at the father's right hand.
00:07:50.211 --> 00:07:52.514
"as he is today, so am i in this world."
00:07:52.514 --> 00:07:57.085
And god ordained it
00:07:57.085 --> 00:07:58.420
In such a way that jesus,
00:07:58.420 --> 00:08:00.088
Glorious person who has been glorified
00:08:00.088 --> 00:08:02.424
By the father, god ordained that his body is made up
00:08:02.424 --> 00:08:06.328
Of the many-membered body of christ of which
00:08:06.328 --> 00:08:09.097
You are part of it, amen?
00:08:09.097 --> 00:08:11.066
We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
00:08:11.066 --> 00:08:16.237
It wasn't long ago-- in fact, it is quite long now.
00:08:16.237 --> 00:08:19.441
I always think of myself as always the same age,
00:08:19.441 --> 00:08:21.443
Hallelujah, amen?
00:08:21.443 --> 00:08:23.111
But some time ago, i think of the event
00:08:23.111 --> 00:08:26.014
That where i was and what i was reading
00:08:26.014 --> 00:08:28.483
When this revelation of this verse, "we are members
00:08:28.483 --> 00:08:30.719
Of his body, of his flesh, of his bones,"
00:08:30.719 --> 00:08:32.721
Just jumped out at me.
00:08:32.721 --> 00:08:34.255
And the lord says, "why are you believing
00:08:34.255 --> 00:08:36.091
That i'm one with you in spirit but not one in the flesh?
00:08:36.091 --> 00:08:41.630
Our bodies, we are one.
00:08:41.630 --> 00:08:44.733
You share my body.
00:08:44.733 --> 00:08:46.201
And that's what i mean in the night of the upper room
00:08:46.201 --> 00:08:49.938
Where i shared the last supper, i shared, i am the true vine
00:08:49.938 --> 00:08:54.576
And you are the branches.
00:08:54.576 --> 00:08:56.111
And all you need to do to bear fruit and more fruit
00:08:56.111 --> 00:08:59.214
And much fruit is to abide in me.
00:08:59.214 --> 00:09:02.484
Nothing for you to do.
00:09:02.484 --> 00:09:03.918
Just remain attached to the vine and the vine life will flow.
00:09:03.918 --> 00:09:12.093
The sap, the riches of the vine will flow into you.
00:09:12.093 --> 00:09:17.365
I am the vine, you are the branches."
00:09:17.365 --> 00:09:20.802
So you are one with jesus, child of god, if you can receive
00:09:20.802 --> 00:09:23.204
This revelation.
00:09:23.204 --> 00:09:24.773
Today god sees your true self as christ.
00:09:24.773 --> 00:09:26.841
Christ is your true self.
00:09:26.841 --> 00:09:28.543
I mean, that is amazing.
00:09:28.543 --> 00:09:30.578
That glorious jesus, that beautiful jesus,
00:09:30.578 --> 00:09:34.582
That altogether lovely jesus, that jesus that i worship,
00:09:34.582 --> 00:09:38.286
I love him so, amen.
00:09:38.286 --> 00:09:40.021
And that jesus that i want to be more and more,
00:09:40.021 --> 00:09:42.691
Practically every day.
00:09:42.691 --> 00:09:44.492
And that jesus who has been glorified
00:09:44.492 --> 00:09:46.127
By the father, that jesus who is risen from the dead.
00:09:46.127 --> 00:09:49.164
That same jesus is my real self, amen?
00:09:49.164 --> 00:09:54.569
As he is, so are we in this world.
00:09:54.569 --> 00:09:56.604
Let's look at the verse again for our new friends
00:09:56.604 --> 00:09:58.473
That have joined us.
00:09:58.473 --> 00:09:59.841
"love has been perfected among us in this:
00:09:59.841 --> 00:10:01.943
That we may have boldness in the day of judgment;
00:10:01.943 --> 00:10:06.281
Because as he is, so are we in this world."
00:10:06.281 --> 00:10:12.120
Remember these nine monosyllables:
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.355
"as he is, so are we," where? "in this world."
00:10:14.355 --> 00:10:20.161
But where is he?
00:10:20.161 --> 00:10:21.863
At the father's right hand, in heaven,
00:10:21.863 --> 00:10:23.398
In the holy of holies, amen?
00:10:23.398 --> 00:10:24.799
In the heaven of heavens. that's where he is.
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.202
"as he is."
00:10:27.202 --> 00:10:30.271
And i said before, if it just says, as he was
00:10:30.271 --> 00:10:33.007
When he was healing the sick in galilee, it's good enough.
00:10:33.007 --> 00:10:36.878
But as he is, glorified already, amen, so are we in this world.
00:10:36.878 --> 00:10:44.652
And the more you believe that, it is not for you to try
00:10:44.652 --> 00:10:47.288
To make it happen-- it has happened.
00:10:47.288 --> 00:10:49.724
As far as god is concerned, this is the greatest reality,
00:10:49.724 --> 00:10:52.694
Amen, in his eyes.
00:10:52.694 --> 00:10:54.195
God sees reality like no one else, amen?
00:10:54.195 --> 00:10:56.798
We see reality, but actually it is temporary reality, amen?
00:10:56.798 --> 00:11:02.437
Like this chair, it's a reality, it's a truth,
00:11:02.437 --> 00:11:04.906
It will last forever-- no, it won't.
00:11:04.906 --> 00:11:06.474
One day, it might be no more, amen?
00:11:06.474 --> 00:11:09.444
Thrown to the junk, amen? so that's what we call reality.
00:11:09.444 --> 00:11:12.480
If i can see it, i can feel it, i can touch it, it is real.
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:15.917
No, my friend. truth is in god's eyes.
00:11:15.917 --> 00:11:20.021
How god sees truth, amen.
00:11:20.021 --> 00:11:22.123
Because god sees truth that's beyond the natural
00:11:22.123 --> 00:11:25.760
Into eternity itself, amen.
00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:28.630
So the truth among all truth is that god says,
00:11:28.630 --> 00:11:31.432
"you are one with my son.
00:11:31.432 --> 00:11:33.101
I have made it so.
00:11:33.101 --> 00:11:34.969
When he was crucified, you were crucified with him.
00:11:34.969 --> 00:11:37.806
When i raised him from the dead, you are raised out of death
00:11:37.806 --> 00:11:41.009
With him, hallelujah.
00:11:41.009 --> 00:11:42.911
When i raised him and made him to sit at my right hand,
00:11:42.911 --> 00:11:47.916
You sat with christ, my son.
00:11:47.916 --> 00:11:51.653
And you are now with him on that throne.
00:11:51.653 --> 00:11:56.825
Joint heir with christ." isn't it glorious?
00:11:56.825 --> 00:11:59.661
And god says, "i'll never see you apart
00:11:59.661 --> 00:12:01.396
From my son."
00:12:01.396 --> 00:12:03.164
And you know how the father loves the son, right?
00:12:03.164 --> 00:12:05.300
I always say that you'll never know
00:12:05.300 --> 00:12:06.768
How much god loves you until you know
00:12:06.768 --> 00:12:09.604
How much god loves his son.
00:12:09.604 --> 00:12:12.273
Because he gave up his son for you.
00:12:12.273 --> 00:12:15.243
We are now one with jesus.
00:12:15.243 --> 00:12:16.678
But never forget, you went to the cross with him.
00:12:16.678 --> 00:12:19.347
Actually, as far as god is concerned,
00:12:19.347 --> 00:12:20.748
You were crucified with christ.
00:12:20.748 --> 00:12:22.717
Now understand this, child of god.
00:12:22.717 --> 00:12:25.386
The blood of jesus washes away your sins.
00:12:25.386 --> 00:12:28.022
Your sins are what you have done,
00:12:28.022 --> 00:12:30.692
What you do.
00:12:30.692 --> 00:12:32.227
So at the cross, christ didn't just die for your sins.
00:12:32.227 --> 00:12:36.097
Christ died as you.
00:12:36.097 --> 00:12:39.934
In other words, i was crucified with christ.
00:12:39.934 --> 00:12:43.638
That i, that is from adam, with all its sinful nature.
00:12:43.638 --> 00:12:48.676
That i in whom dwells no good thing, amen?
00:12:48.676 --> 00:12:53.047
I accept it.
00:12:53.047 --> 00:12:54.549
I don't have to have experiences, lord,
00:12:54.549 --> 00:12:56.017
To learn that-- i accept it.
00:12:56.017 --> 00:12:58.152
That i is beyond repair, amen.
00:12:58.152 --> 00:13:01.456
Beyond renovation.
00:13:01.456 --> 00:13:03.157
You cannot help yourself because that i
00:13:03.157 --> 00:13:05.493
Is the factory of sins, amen.
00:13:05.493 --> 00:13:07.762
It's the factory.
00:13:07.762 --> 00:13:09.197
God didn't just remove the products of that i,
00:13:09.197 --> 00:13:12.233
The sins, by the blood of jesus, but at the cross,
00:13:12.233 --> 00:13:16.104
God removed the factory.
00:13:16.104 --> 00:13:17.872
I have been crucified.
00:13:17.872 --> 00:13:19.240
Paul says, "i have been crucified
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:20.909
With christ.
00:13:20.909 --> 00:13:22.443
Nevertheless, i live."
00:13:22.443 --> 00:13:24.045
Now watch for this proviso.
00:13:24.045 --> 00:13:26.214
"yet not i, but christ lives in me.
00:13:26.214 --> 00:13:30.218
And the life that i now live in the flesh,
00:13:30.218 --> 00:13:32.020
I live by the faith of the son of god."
00:13:32.020 --> 00:13:34.255
So paul found the secret.
00:13:34.255 --> 00:13:36.524
The real i, the real i that was from adam,
00:13:36.524 --> 00:13:40.361
Was crucified.
00:13:40.361 --> 00:13:41.996
All right, back then it was the real i.
00:13:41.996 --> 00:13:43.798
But now the real i, the real i, and yet not i but christ, amen,
00:13:43.798 --> 00:13:49.604
Who is my real self, is alive today, amen?
00:13:49.604 --> 00:13:53.808
I am in christ risen, amen.
00:13:53.808 --> 00:13:55.777
My old self from adam has been crucified.
00:13:55.777 --> 00:13:58.513
That's why paul used the word, i have been crucified
00:13:58.513 --> 00:14:00.915
With christ.
00:14:00.915 --> 00:14:03.117
"nevertheless, i live, yet not i,
00:14:03.117 --> 00:14:04.619
But christ lives in me.
00:14:04.619 --> 00:14:07.221
And the life that i now live in the flesh,
00:14:07.221 --> 00:14:09.590
I live by the faith of the son of god
00:14:09.590 --> 00:14:12.760
Who loved me and gave himself for me."
00:14:12.760 --> 00:14:15.530
I know some translations put that i live by faith
00:14:15.530 --> 00:14:19.434
In the son of god.
00:14:19.434 --> 00:14:21.569
And actually in the original, it can go both ways.
00:14:21.569 --> 00:14:24.572
The king james put, "i live by the faith,"
00:14:24.572 --> 00:14:28.276
By the faith, not in the faith, okay, and i believe
00:14:28.276 --> 00:14:32.146
Because it can go both ways.
00:14:32.146 --> 00:14:33.681
I believe and many scholars, bible scholars
00:14:33.681 --> 00:14:36.384
Also believe that, that we live by, not in,
00:14:36.384 --> 00:14:40.955
By the faith of the son of god.
00:14:40.955 --> 00:14:43.324
Aren't you glad that it is not your puny faith?
00:14:43.324 --> 00:14:45.927
It's not your weak faith that you're living by?
00:14:45.927 --> 00:14:48.096
Whenever you feel weak in faith, just remember, i'm resting
00:14:48.096 --> 00:14:51.432
In the faith of the son of god to carry me through, amen?
00:14:51.432 --> 00:14:55.703
The son of god who loved me and gave himself for me.
00:14:55.703 --> 00:15:00.408
Praise the lord, hallelujah, amen.
00:15:00.408 --> 00:15:03.344
If you've been diagnosed with something that you find
00:15:03.344 --> 00:15:06.981
That medical science have no answer for
00:15:06.981 --> 00:15:09.317
Except for to take some medicine for some continuity
00:15:09.317 --> 00:15:12.253
Or yet even after that, you're not sure.
00:15:12.253 --> 00:15:14.622
You know, my friend, there's an answer
00:15:14.622 --> 00:15:16.290
In the lord jesus.
00:15:16.290 --> 00:15:17.658
In fact, he has accomplished it already.
00:15:17.658 --> 00:15:19.794
At that cross, he bore all your sicknesses
00:15:19.794 --> 00:15:22.730
And all your diseases.
00:15:22.730 --> 00:15:24.565
And today in heaven, he is without them.
00:15:24.565 --> 00:15:26.167
The same body, the lord's body that bore all your sicknesses
00:15:26.167 --> 00:15:30.972
And your pains and your infirmities
00:15:30.972 --> 00:15:34.709
Rose from the dead without them.
00:15:34.709 --> 00:15:37.078
What does that mean? it's all put away.
00:15:37.078 --> 00:15:39.180
And at the father's right hand today,
00:15:39.180 --> 00:15:41.182
He is free from it.
00:15:41.182 --> 00:15:42.583
So you look to the lord and say, as jesus is healthy
00:15:42.583 --> 00:15:45.853
In his brain, so am i in this world.
00:15:45.853 --> 00:15:49.090
As jesus is free from high blood pressure,
00:15:49.090 --> 00:15:52.393
So am i in this world.
00:15:52.393 --> 00:15:53.961
Whatever your ailment may be, confess as jesus is,
00:15:53.961 --> 00:15:56.831
So am i in this world.
00:15:56.831 --> 00:15:58.166
Possess this physical part as well because the bible says
00:15:58.166 --> 00:16:00.835
We are members of his body, of his flesh, literally,
00:16:00.835 --> 00:16:04.739
Of his flesh and of his bones.
00:16:04.739 --> 00:16:07.442
You cannot make that spiritual, my friend.
00:16:07.442 --> 00:16:09.444
We are literally saying, of his flesh and of his bones.
00:16:09.444 --> 00:16:12.013
And jesus definitely has healthy flesh
00:16:12.013 --> 00:16:14.015
And healthy bones, amen.
00:16:14.015 --> 00:16:15.850
And we are members of that flesh and bones, hallelujah.
00:16:15.850 --> 00:16:19.554
We are one with jesus, one with him.
00:16:19.554 --> 00:16:23.424
So let's possess this, let's own it.
00:16:23.424 --> 00:16:25.827
It's reality, it's true, amen?
00:16:25.827 --> 00:16:28.162
You are one with jesus.
00:16:28.162 --> 00:16:29.764
"but pastor prince, if i'm one with jesus,
00:16:29.764 --> 00:16:31.699
Why do i still have all this, you know, depression
00:16:31.699 --> 00:16:34.469
That comes on me and i feel lousy
00:16:34.469 --> 00:16:36.871
And i have these stirrings, sinful stirrings within me?"
00:16:36.871 --> 00:16:41.542
Well, my friend, listen.
00:16:41.542 --> 00:16:44.011
That's the thing about our christian life.
00:16:44.011 --> 00:16:46.080
The devil has convinced us that you are what you feel,
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:49.417
You are what you experience.
00:16:49.417 --> 00:16:51.586
But our christian life is we walk by faith
00:16:51.586 --> 00:16:54.622
And not by sight.
00:16:54.622 --> 00:16:56.691
Sight there represents experience.
00:16:56.691 --> 00:16:59.494
Just like it represents all the five senses.
00:16:59.494 --> 00:17:02.296
So we say unless i see it or unless i touch it,
00:17:02.296 --> 00:17:07.001
I will not believe it-- just like thomas.
00:17:07.001 --> 00:17:09.003
Unless i touch him, i will not believe.
00:17:09.003 --> 00:17:11.372
And jesus says, "blessed are those
00:17:11.372 --> 00:17:13.207
Who have not seen and yet believe."
00:17:13.207 --> 00:17:15.676
Why, because we limit ourself to a world of the five senses.
00:17:15.676 --> 00:17:19.680
It's very limited and we think that we have the truth
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.350
Because we can see it, touch it.
00:17:22.350 --> 00:17:23.784
No, it could just be a temporary reality
00:17:23.784 --> 00:17:26.154
Because our world is so small because we are depending
00:17:26.154 --> 00:17:28.756
On our five senses.
00:17:28.756 --> 00:17:30.091
But my friend, faith is not saying,
00:17:30.091 --> 00:17:33.094
The thing is not there but if you have faith,
00:17:33.094 --> 00:17:36.497
It will become real.
00:17:36.497 --> 00:17:38.599
It will be so. it will then exist.
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.303
No, faith is saying like the word "imputation,"
00:17:42.303 --> 00:17:46.107
The word "reckon," it's the word logizomai in greek.
00:17:46.107 --> 00:17:50.478
It means to count it so because it is so.
00:17:50.478 --> 00:17:54.982
Now watch this.
00:17:54.982 --> 00:17:56.350
I'm going to give you this verse right now
00:17:56.350 --> 00:17:57.685
In romans chapter 6, verse 9: "knowing that christ,
00:17:57.685 --> 00:18:04.425
Having been raised from the dead, dies no more."
00:18:04.425 --> 00:18:08.329
How many can say amen?
00:18:08.329 --> 00:18:09.730
"having been raised from the dead, he dies no more.
00:18:09.730 --> 00:18:13.067
Death no longer has dominion over him.
00:18:13.067 --> 00:18:16.971
For the death that he died," now watch this now.
00:18:16.971 --> 00:18:19.373
"for the death that he died, he died to sin once for all;
00:18:19.373 --> 00:18:23.744
But the life that he lives, he lives to god.
00:18:23.744 --> 00:18:26.547
Likewise," what is likewise?
00:18:26.547 --> 00:18:29.917
Likewise means in the same manner.
00:18:29.917 --> 00:18:33.454
"you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin,
00:18:33.454 --> 00:18:38.993
But alive to god in christ jesus our lord."
00:18:38.993 --> 00:18:41.963
And yet, you know, we have people teaching that,
00:18:41.963 --> 00:18:44.432
You know, you are supposed to reckon yourself dead to sin
00:18:44.432 --> 00:18:47.969
Progressively every day, you know.
00:18:47.969 --> 00:18:51.272
But my friend, this is not a progressive death to sin.
00:18:51.272 --> 00:18:54.976
This is once and for all. why?
00:18:54.976 --> 00:18:56.811
"in the same manner, reckon yourself
00:18:56.811 --> 00:18:58.646
To be dead indeed unto sin."
00:18:58.646 --> 00:19:00.114
The same manner as what?
00:19:00.114 --> 00:19:01.482
As the way our lord jesus died to sin.
00:19:01.482 --> 00:19:04.185
"for the death that he died," in verse 10, he says,
00:19:04.185 --> 00:19:07.355
"the death that he died, he died to sin," what?
00:19:07.355 --> 00:19:09.657
"once for all."
00:19:09.657 --> 00:19:11.225
In other words, you have died to sin once for all.
00:19:11.225 --> 00:19:15.229
When was that? at the cross.
00:19:15.229 --> 00:19:17.398
You and i, we died to sin once and for all.
00:19:17.398 --> 00:19:21.435
Sin has nothing to say to us, even though it's talking to us
00:19:21.435 --> 00:19:24.538
All the time, amen.
00:19:24.538 --> 00:19:26.140
And we have nothing to say to sin.
00:19:26.140 --> 00:19:27.742
We are dead. we are dead to sin.
00:19:27.742 --> 00:19:32.346
We are dead to sin as much as israel
00:19:32.346 --> 00:19:35.316
Is on the other side of the red sea
00:19:35.316 --> 00:19:37.818
And all the enemies are buried, amen.
00:19:37.818 --> 00:19:41.956
Are you seeing what god is showing you?
00:19:42.023 --> 00:19:44.992
Are you seeing what the devil is projecting into you?
00:19:44.992 --> 00:19:48.496
The devil wants you to see the enemy
00:19:48.496 --> 00:19:51.265
Is alive and well.
00:19:51.265 --> 00:19:52.967
All your sinful tendencies is alive and well.
00:19:52.967 --> 00:19:55.469
"but pastor prince, they are there.
00:19:55.469 --> 00:19:57.104
They literally are there. i know they are there."
00:19:57.104 --> 00:19:59.040
But you know, these are just like mirage.
00:19:59.040 --> 00:20:02.977
I know you feel them.
00:20:02.977 --> 00:20:04.612
But what you feel is not reality,
00:20:04.612 --> 00:20:06.380
Okay, my friend, amen?
00:20:06.380 --> 00:20:08.282
What you feel isn't, you know, feelings from god.
00:20:08.282 --> 00:20:11.118
Don't think for one moment, i'm just saying
00:20:11.118 --> 00:20:13.254
That we can live life without feelings
00:20:13.254 --> 00:20:15.256
And feelings makes no matter.
00:20:15.256 --> 00:20:16.991
No, no friend.
00:20:16.991 --> 00:20:18.392
What i'm saying is that feelings is not the barometer for truth.
00:20:18.392 --> 00:20:23.331
Feelings is to be enjoyed actually.
00:20:23.331 --> 00:20:26.167
God gives us feelings to enjoy, amen?
00:20:26.167 --> 00:20:29.337
But then, when we are in sin, it goes the other side.
00:20:29.337 --> 00:20:32.840
Depression, fear, worry, stress, distress.
00:20:32.840 --> 00:20:36.110
You know, and that's not what god wants.
00:20:36.110 --> 00:20:38.379
But you can't depend on feelings.
00:20:38.379 --> 00:20:40.181
We walk by faith and not by sight.
00:20:40.181 --> 00:20:41.549
"but pastor prince, this feeling is so real."
00:20:41.549 --> 00:20:42.983
When we go back to romans 6, verse 11,
00:20:42.983 --> 00:20:45.786
Jesus died to sin once and for all.
00:20:45.786 --> 00:20:47.288
Where? at the cross, amen?
00:20:47.288 --> 00:20:49.423
Likewise, in the same manner, reckon yourself what?
00:20:49.423 --> 00:20:52.793
Dead indeed to sin.
00:20:52.793 --> 00:20:54.662
So the word "logizomai" is here in verse 11:
00:20:54.662 --> 00:20:58.065
"reckon yourself to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to god
00:20:58.065 --> 00:21:01.435
In christ jesus our lord."
00:21:01.435 --> 00:21:03.070
So in other words, if i see jesus as my real self,
00:21:03.070 --> 00:21:05.539
I see him on the other side of the grave.
00:21:05.539 --> 00:21:08.142
He is risen, amen?
00:21:08.142 --> 00:21:10.244
So the death and judgment that he experienced
00:21:10.244 --> 00:21:13.247
Is all in the past, at the cross.
00:21:13.247 --> 00:21:15.850
It's all behind him.
00:21:15.850 --> 00:21:17.418
And i'm in him, it's all behind me, hallelujah.
00:21:17.418 --> 00:21:21.188
I'm like israel. i see all my enemies.
00:21:21.188 --> 00:21:24.358
"but then, pastor prince, how do you deal
00:21:24.358 --> 00:21:26.227
With those things when they stir up?"
00:21:26.227 --> 00:21:27.595
I just say, it's a lie.
00:21:27.595 --> 00:21:28.996
It's a lie. it's a lie.
00:21:28.996 --> 00:21:30.865
This temptation of lust comes up, amen.
00:21:30.865 --> 00:21:33.134
Lustful stirrings or angry feelings or depression
00:21:33.134 --> 00:21:38.406
Or feeling of self-pity.
00:21:38.406 --> 00:21:42.176
All these are sins.
00:21:42.176 --> 00:21:44.278
They come up inside you and they want you
00:21:44.278 --> 00:21:46.647
To be self-occupied.
00:21:46.647 --> 00:21:49.150
Feelings of jealousy, feelings of pride.
00:21:49.150 --> 00:21:54.188
When they come up, they look real.
00:21:54.188 --> 00:21:57.458
I mean, they feel real, right?
00:21:57.458 --> 00:22:00.828
But they are dead.
00:22:00.828 --> 00:22:02.797
God's word is truth.
00:22:02.797 --> 00:22:04.899
You cannot remove god's truth.
00:22:04.899 --> 00:22:06.667
God says they are dead.
00:22:06.667 --> 00:22:08.335
God says you are dead to them.
00:22:08.335 --> 00:22:11.439
They are finished off at the cross.
00:22:11.439 --> 00:22:13.140
The same way the egyptians, pharaoh and all his armies
00:22:13.140 --> 00:22:16.210
Are dead, okay.
00:22:16.210 --> 00:22:18.479
All these things are types.
00:22:18.479 --> 00:22:20.414
And you are not on this side of the red sea, my friend.
00:22:20.414 --> 00:22:23.651
You are on the other side of the red sea.
00:22:23.651 --> 00:22:25.719
You are not looking at all your sinful enemies
00:22:25.719 --> 00:22:28.923
And all these stirrings and outworkings of the flesh
00:22:28.923 --> 00:22:32.793
Screaming at you, "indulge me!
00:22:32.793 --> 00:22:34.962
Indulge me! yield to me!"
00:22:34.962 --> 00:22:36.797
And they appear so real, they appear so alive,
00:22:36.797 --> 00:22:40.501
And you feel them, you feel their power.
00:22:40.501 --> 00:22:43.003
But you know what?
00:22:43.003 --> 00:22:44.338
You stop and say, no, they are dead.
00:22:44.338 --> 00:22:45.906
I'm dead to them.
00:22:45.906 --> 00:22:47.741
I'm not trying to be dead. i am dead.
00:22:47.741 --> 00:22:50.411
You are not dead in your feeling.
00:22:50.411 --> 00:22:52.713
You are not dead in your experience.
00:22:52.713 --> 00:22:55.049
God never said so. you are dead in faith.
00:22:55.049 --> 00:22:59.420
And faith is based on facts.
00:22:59.420 --> 00:23:03.123
Logizomai, reckon yourself dead to sin.
00:23:03.123 --> 00:23:05.860
Thayer says it like this, he illustrates:
00:23:05.860 --> 00:23:08.295
If i have $25 in the bank and i logizomai that i have,
00:23:08.295 --> 00:23:13.834
I reckon that i have $25 in the bank.
00:23:13.834 --> 00:23:17.004
It is because i have $25.
00:23:17.004 --> 00:23:20.107
Thayer, the greek scholar, says, logizomai, reckoning,
00:23:20.107 --> 00:23:25.646
Like a picture of faith, right?
00:23:25.646 --> 00:23:27.815
Reckoning is not based on suppositions.
00:23:27.815 --> 00:23:31.452
It is based on facts.
00:23:31.452 --> 00:23:33.087
The reason i reckon that i have $25 in the bank
00:23:33.087 --> 00:23:36.690
Is because i have $25 in the bank.
00:23:36.690 --> 00:23:39.393
So reckon yourself dead indeed to sin
00:23:39.393 --> 00:23:41.495
But alive unto god in christ jesus
00:23:41.495 --> 00:23:43.464
Because it is so, amen.
00:23:43.464 --> 00:23:48.302
Where are your eyes today?
00:23:48.302 --> 00:23:50.137
"pastor, when the feeling come of temptation,
00:23:50.137 --> 00:23:52.373
I feel anger and all that," you'll stop
00:23:52.373 --> 00:23:55.175
And i'm telling you this, rejoice.
00:23:55.175 --> 00:23:58.045
Rejoice because you're not bound to the lie
00:23:58.045 --> 00:24:01.181
That you are this sin.
00:24:01.181 --> 00:24:03.150
You are this sin and then, you know, god sees you
00:24:03.150 --> 00:24:07.254
In that sin.
00:24:07.254 --> 00:24:08.656
No, god separates you from that sin.
00:24:08.656 --> 00:24:10.624
You are no more in the natural life.
00:24:10.624 --> 00:24:12.159
You are in resurrection life. you are in christ risen.
00:24:12.159 --> 00:24:15.296
And this is one of the prayers that i encourage you all to pray
00:24:15.296 --> 00:24:18.132
That we may know-- ask god for the spirit
00:24:18.132 --> 00:24:20.534
Of wisdom and revelation, that we may know,
00:24:20.534 --> 00:24:22.503
"the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward.
00:24:22.503 --> 00:24:26.607
The same power that he wrought in christ,
00:24:26.607 --> 00:24:28.609
When he raised him from the dead."
00:24:28.609 --> 00:24:30.711
We are in christ risen, my friend,
00:24:30.711 --> 00:24:33.881
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:24:33.881 --> 00:24:37.384

In the old testament.
00:25:25.633 --> 00:25:27.101
