Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - How To Live Beyond Your Emotions | February 24, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.319
Joseph prince: are you seeing what god is showing you?
00:00:12.131 --> 00:00:14.700
Are you seeing what the devil is projecting into you?
00:00:14.833 --> 00:00:17.402
The devil wants you to see the enemies alive and well.
00:00:17.536 --> 00:00:21.540
All your sinful tendencies is alive and well.
00:00:21.673 --> 00:00:22.474
"but pastor prince, they are there.
00:00:24.543 --> 00:00:25.878
They literally are there. i know they are there."
00:00:25.878 --> 00:00:28.046
But you know, these are just like mirage.
00:00:28.046 --> 00:00:31.483
I know you feel them.
00:00:31.483 --> 00:00:33.585
But what you feel is not reality.
00:00:33.585 --> 00:00:35.687
Don't think for one moment, i'm just saying
00:00:35.687 --> 00:00:37.556
That we can live life without feelings
00:00:37.556 --> 00:00:39.758
And feelings makes no matter.
00:00:39.758 --> 00:00:41.360
No, no friend.
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:42.694
What i'm saying is that feelings is not the barometer for truth.
00:00:42.694 --> 00:00:46.732
Jesus died to sin once and for all.
00:00:46.732 --> 00:00:48.066
Where? at the cross.
00:00:48.066 --> 00:00:49.535
So in other words, if i see jesus as my real self,
00:00:49.535 --> 00:00:52.004
I see him on the other side of the grave.
00:00:52.004 --> 00:00:54.406
He is risen.
00:00:54.406 --> 00:00:55.941
The death and judgment that he experienced
00:00:55.941 --> 00:00:57.743
Is all in the past, at the cross.
00:00:57.743 --> 00:00:59.878
It's all behind him.
00:00:59.878 --> 00:01:01.246
And i'm in him, it's all behind me, hallelujah.
00:01:01.246 --> 00:01:05.250

And now, here's pastor joseph prince
00:01:55.267 --> 00:01:57.603
With today's program.
00:01:57.603 --> 00:01:59.137
Joseph prince: today, i want to share with you
00:01:59.137 --> 00:02:00.472
How to possess one more area in your life.
00:02:00.472 --> 00:02:02.174
You know, there are times in our life we begin
00:02:02.174 --> 00:02:04.509
To realize that, you know, this promise that jesus gave us,
00:02:04.509 --> 00:02:07.980
He said, "i am come that you might have life,
00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:11.149
And that you might have it more abundantly."
00:02:11.149 --> 00:02:14.720
Then we wonder sometimes as we go along
00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:16.622
In our christian life, how come i'm seeing
00:02:16.622 --> 00:02:18.457
The old foes, you know, when i say about the enemies
00:02:18.457 --> 00:02:21.393
Of our soul, i'm referring to the sinful stirrings
00:02:21.393 --> 00:02:24.696
And the sinful workings and the outworkings in us
00:02:24.696 --> 00:02:27.899
That is not godly, that is not holy,
00:02:27.899 --> 00:02:30.202
That is not of christ.
00:02:30.202 --> 00:02:31.770
And we see them coming up and sometimes, you know,
00:02:31.770 --> 00:02:34.506
They come up in full life and in color.
00:02:34.506 --> 00:02:38.777
And we ask ourself, i thought, you know, i've grown so much
00:02:38.777 --> 00:02:42.447
In the lord.
00:02:42.447 --> 00:02:43.815
And sometimes they come during our prayer time
00:02:43.815 --> 00:02:46.118
Or while we are involved in some spiritual exercise.
00:02:46.118 --> 00:02:50.789
We thought that when we are doing these things,
00:02:50.789 --> 00:02:52.691
These things should not rise up.
00:02:52.691 --> 00:02:54.159
These things should not happen.
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:55.794
So what is the answer that god has for us
00:02:55.794 --> 00:02:58.163
Pertaining to that?
00:02:58.163 --> 00:02:59.498
And many of you, you still find that after a period
00:02:59.498 --> 00:03:02.167
Or bout of victory in your life, a glorious season with the lord,
00:03:02.167 --> 00:03:08.140
You find that you thought that maybe
00:03:08.140 --> 00:03:09.741
You are on the mountaintop, you'll never
00:03:09.741 --> 00:03:11.410
Be in the valley again.
00:03:11.410 --> 00:03:12.911
The very next thing, after a great victory sometimes
00:03:12.911 --> 00:03:14.846
Comes a great defeat.
00:03:14.846 --> 00:03:17.182
And it's because of your flesh, because your flesh
00:03:17.182 --> 00:03:19.985
Broke out again.
00:03:19.985 --> 00:03:21.453
Sometimes your flesh can be quiet for a while,
00:03:21.453 --> 00:03:23.689
For a season, and then there's an outbreak.
00:03:23.689 --> 00:03:26.491
Why are these things so?
00:03:26.491 --> 00:03:28.193
There's a difference between redemption by blood
00:03:28.193 --> 00:03:31.163
And redemption by power.
00:03:31.163 --> 00:03:33.065
There are two sides to redemption.
00:03:33.065 --> 00:03:35.600
And the bible teaches that.
00:03:35.600 --> 00:03:37.069
Redemption by blood is in egypt, the children of israel,
00:03:37.069 --> 00:03:40.472
They were sheltered, they were protected
00:03:40.472 --> 00:03:44.076
From the destroyer because of the blood
00:03:44.076 --> 00:03:46.978
Of the lamb; the judgment cannot touch them.
00:03:46.978 --> 00:03:49.848
In fact, the judgment has to pass over them.
00:03:49.848 --> 00:03:52.184
Although they are guilty, although they are sinners,
00:03:52.184 --> 00:03:55.854
Because of the blood on the doorposts
00:03:55.854 --> 00:03:59.057
And on the lintel, amen?
00:03:59.057 --> 00:04:01.460
The blood speaks to god and the blood says,
00:04:01.460 --> 00:04:04.062
"there has been a death in this house.
00:04:04.062 --> 00:04:06.164
An innocent has died for the guilty."
00:04:06.164 --> 00:04:09.034
And it's a picture of the cross of jesus christ,
00:04:09.034 --> 00:04:11.036
That's where the blood on the doorpost
00:04:11.036 --> 00:04:12.804
And on the lintel.
00:04:12.804 --> 00:04:14.239
And the lamb speaks of jesus, the lamb of god,
00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:16.375
Who shed his blood and the lamb of god,
00:04:16.375 --> 00:04:18.443
Through his blood, has obtained for us eternal redemption.
00:04:18.443 --> 00:04:22.381
The blood of jesus christ cleanses us
00:04:22.381 --> 00:04:24.449
From every sin, hallelujah.
00:04:24.449 --> 00:04:26.752
So that is redemption by blood.
00:04:26.752 --> 00:04:29.187
And everything, you know, has its foundation
00:04:29.187 --> 00:04:32.457
Because of the blood of jesus, amen.
00:04:32.457 --> 00:04:34.626
Through the blood, we are blessed.
00:04:34.626 --> 00:04:36.228
Through the blood, we are healed.
00:04:36.228 --> 00:04:37.796
Through the blood, we receive all the blessings of god.
00:04:37.796 --> 00:04:40.699
That is the foundation.
00:04:40.699 --> 00:04:42.200
But then, in our practical life, in our daily life,
00:04:42.200 --> 00:04:45.337
There's an outworking of that redemption.
00:04:45.337 --> 00:04:47.406
And that's redemption by power.
00:04:47.406 --> 00:04:49.574
We need to understand the flesh is the part of us
00:04:49.574 --> 00:04:52.444
That wants to do wrong, that wants to sin.
00:04:52.444 --> 00:04:55.614
Now child of god, let me just rest your heart here.
00:04:55.614 --> 00:04:57.849
You are not the flesh. you are not the flesh.
00:04:57.849 --> 00:05:01.253
In romans 8: "so then, those who are in the flesh
00:05:01.253 --> 00:05:04.689
Cannot please god."
00:05:04.689 --> 00:05:06.024
We all know that.
00:05:06.024 --> 00:05:07.559
Those who are in the flesh cannot please god.
00:05:07.559 --> 00:05:08.994
But child of god, listen.
00:05:08.994 --> 00:05:10.328
You are not in the flesh.
00:05:10.328 --> 00:05:13.298
"but you are not in the flesh but in the spirit."
00:05:13.298 --> 00:05:17.369
And the criterion: "if indeed the spirit of god dwells in you.
00:05:17.369 --> 00:05:22.507
Now if anyone does not have the spirit of christ,
00:05:22.507 --> 00:05:24.910
He is not his."
00:05:24.910 --> 00:05:26.311
So if you have the holy spirit, hallelujah,
00:05:26.311 --> 00:05:29.347
And i know that you do if you put your faith in christ,
00:05:29.347 --> 00:05:32.350
Then you are no more in the flesh.
00:05:32.350 --> 00:05:35.253
But the flesh is in you, amen?
00:05:35.253 --> 00:05:37.756
Just if i have a little splinter in my finger,
00:05:37.756 --> 00:05:40.625
I'm not a piece of wood, amen.
00:05:40.625 --> 00:05:43.829
Even though the splinter is in me, right, in my finger,
00:05:43.829 --> 00:05:47.999
But i am not a piece of wood, amen?
00:05:47.999 --> 00:05:51.203
You are not in the flesh.
00:05:51.203 --> 00:05:53.605
You are in the spirit because god's spirit
00:05:53.605 --> 00:05:57.342
Dwells in you.
00:05:57.342 --> 00:05:58.677
So remember that. that is your true identity.
00:05:58.677 --> 00:06:00.378
But then we are battling with the flesh.
00:06:00.378 --> 00:06:03.582
And the very fact that you don't like it,
00:06:03.582 --> 00:06:05.684
The fact that you feel a shame of it, the fact is
00:06:05.684 --> 00:06:09.421
That you feel frustrated, you feel depressed over it
00:06:09.421 --> 00:06:12.791
When it rises up and sometimes you indulge in it
00:06:12.791 --> 00:06:15.494
And you feel even more depressed after that.
00:06:15.494 --> 00:06:17.529
You know, friend, that shows that you are truly born again,
00:06:17.529 --> 00:06:20.265
That you are a child of god.
00:06:20.265 --> 00:06:22.000
But we don't want to live a defeated life either, amen.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.803
Has god made provision for us?
00:06:24.803 --> 00:06:26.471
Indeed, he has. hallelujah, amen.
00:06:26.471 --> 00:06:28.840
Like the apostle paul, he was struggling
00:06:28.840 --> 00:06:30.675
In this struggle and he was saying, you know,
00:06:30.675 --> 00:06:32.777
"the good i want to do, i do it not.
00:06:32.777 --> 00:06:35.146
But the evil i don't want to do, i am doing."
00:06:35.146 --> 00:06:38.116
Now, "if i do that which i don't want to do,
00:06:38.116 --> 00:06:41.186
It shows that it is not me.
00:06:41.186 --> 00:06:43.188
It's not i that do it." it sounds like a cop-out.
00:06:43.188 --> 00:06:45.757
But paul is saying the real me is not the one involved
00:06:45.757 --> 00:06:47.792
Because the real me is not the flesh.
00:06:47.792 --> 00:06:49.461
The real me is in the spirit, the new creation, right?
00:06:49.461 --> 00:06:52.297
So he says that, "but sin that dwelleth in me."
00:06:52.297 --> 00:06:54.566
So paul made a remarkable statement
00:06:54.566 --> 00:06:56.568
When paul says, "for i know that in me
00:06:56.568 --> 00:07:00.539
(that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing."
00:07:00.539 --> 00:07:04.276
Child of god, please don't go through a series
00:07:04.276 --> 00:07:07.779
Of long experiences in your life and wasting your time
00:07:07.779 --> 00:07:11.383
In the wilderness to discover that in your flesh
00:07:11.383 --> 00:07:15.086
Dwells no good thing.
00:07:15.086 --> 00:07:16.588
Rest now, amen?
00:07:16.588 --> 00:07:18.023
See your flesh as in your flesh dwells no good thing, amen?
00:07:18.023 --> 00:07:22.260
This is an amazing truth.
00:07:22.260 --> 00:07:23.828
The day that you discover this revelation, child of god,
00:07:23.828 --> 00:07:26.731
You'll be so blessed.
00:07:26.731 --> 00:07:28.300
You know, it's like heaven on earth.
00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:29.834
When i discovered this, it's like heaven on earth
00:07:29.834 --> 00:07:31.636
Because it's like the spirit of god is telling me,
00:07:31.636 --> 00:07:33.939
"you are no longer you.
00:07:33.939 --> 00:07:36.675
Look at jesus.
00:07:36.675 --> 00:07:38.109
That is your true self today."
00:07:38.109 --> 00:07:41.012
That's how the new testament teaches it.
00:07:41.012 --> 00:07:43.582
Our life.
00:07:43.582 --> 00:07:44.916
When christ who is our life— notice christ who is our life.
00:07:44.916 --> 00:07:49.487
You are no longer in yourself. you are in christ.
00:07:49.487 --> 00:07:53.592
In other words, in christ means, as he is, so are we
00:07:53.592 --> 00:07:57.662
In this world, amen?
00:07:57.662 --> 00:07:59.864
As we are in christ risen. where is he now?
00:07:59.864 --> 00:08:02.734
He is risen, amen? he is ascended.
00:08:02.734 --> 00:08:05.870
He has been glorified at the father's right hand.
00:08:05.870 --> 00:08:08.173
"as he is today, so am i in this world."
00:08:08.173 --> 00:08:12.744
And god ordained it
00:08:12.744 --> 00:08:14.079
In such a way that jesus,
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:15.747
Glorious person who has been glorified
00:08:15.747 --> 00:08:18.083
By the father, god ordained that his body is made up
00:08:18.083 --> 00:08:21.987
Of the many-membered body of christ of which
00:08:21.987 --> 00:08:24.756
You are part of it, amen?
00:08:24.756 --> 00:08:26.725
We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
00:08:26.725 --> 00:08:31.896
It wasn't long ago-- in fact, it is quite long now.
00:08:31.896 --> 00:08:35.100
I always think of myself as always the same age,
00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:37.102
Hallelujah, amen?
00:08:37.102 --> 00:08:38.770
But some time ago, i think of the event
00:08:38.770 --> 00:08:41.673
That where i was and what i was reading
00:08:41.673 --> 00:08:44.142
When this revelation of this verse, "we are members
00:08:44.142 --> 00:08:46.378
Of his body, of his flesh, of his bones,"
00:08:46.378 --> 00:08:48.380
Just jumped out at me.
00:08:48.380 --> 00:08:49.914
And the lord says, "why are you believing
00:08:49.914 --> 00:08:51.750
That i'm one with you in spirit but not one in the flesh?
00:08:51.750 --> 00:08:57.288
Our bodies, we are one.
00:08:57.288 --> 00:09:00.392
You share my body.
00:09:00.392 --> 00:09:01.860
And that's what i mean in the night of the upper room
00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:05.597
Where i shared the last supper, i shared, i am the true vine
00:09:05.597 --> 00:09:10.235
And you are the branches.
00:09:10.235 --> 00:09:11.770
And all you need to do to bear fruit and more fruit
00:09:11.770 --> 00:09:14.873
And much fruit is to abide in me.
00:09:14.873 --> 00:09:18.143
Nothing for you to do.
00:09:18.143 --> 00:09:19.577
Just remain attached to the vine and the vine life will flow.
00:09:19.577 --> 00:09:27.752
The sap, the riches of the vine will flow into you.
00:09:27.752 --> 00:09:33.024
I am the vine, you are the branches."
00:09:33.024 --> 00:09:36.461
So you are one with jesus, child of god, if you can receive
00:09:36.461 --> 00:09:38.863
This revelation.
00:09:38.863 --> 00:09:40.432
Today god sees your true self as christ.
00:09:40.432 --> 00:09:42.500
Christ is your true self.
00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:44.202
I mean, that is amazing.
00:09:44.202 --> 00:09:46.237
That glorious jesus, that beautiful jesus,
00:09:46.237 --> 00:09:50.241
That altogether lovely jesus, that jesus that i worship,
00:09:50.241 --> 00:09:53.945
I love him so, amen.
00:09:53.945 --> 00:09:55.680
And that jesus that i want to be more and more,
00:09:55.680 --> 00:09:58.349
Practically every day.
00:09:58.349 --> 00:10:00.151
And that jesus who has been glorified
00:10:00.151 --> 00:10:01.786
By the father, that jesus who is risen from the dead.
00:10:01.786 --> 00:10:04.823
That same jesus is my real self, amen?
00:10:04.823 --> 00:10:10.228
As he is, so are we in this world.
00:10:10.228 --> 00:10:12.263
Let's look at the verse again for our new friends
00:10:12.263 --> 00:10:14.132
That have joined us.
00:10:14.132 --> 00:10:15.500
"love has been perfected among us in this:
00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:17.602
That we may have boldness in the day of judgment;
00:10:17.602 --> 00:10:21.940
Because as he is, so are we in this world."
00:10:21.940 --> 00:10:27.779
Remember these nine monosyllables:
00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:30.014
"as he is, so are we," where? "in this world."
00:10:30.014 --> 00:10:35.820
But where is he?
00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:37.522
At the father's right hand, in heaven,
00:10:37.522 --> 00:10:39.057
In the holy of holies, amen?
00:10:39.057 --> 00:10:40.458
In the heaven of heavens. that's where he is.
00:10:40.458 --> 00:10:42.861
"as he is."
00:10:42.861 --> 00:10:45.930
And i said before, if it just says, as he was
00:10:45.930 --> 00:10:48.666
When he was healing the sick in galilee, it's good enough.
00:10:48.666 --> 00:10:52.537
But as he is, glorified already, amen, so are we in this world.
00:10:52.537 --> 00:11:00.311
And the more you believe that, it is not for you to try
00:11:00.311 --> 00:11:02.947
To make it happen-- it has happened.
00:11:02.947 --> 00:11:05.383
As far as god is concerned, this is the greatest reality,
00:11:05.383 --> 00:11:08.353
Amen, in his eyes.
00:11:08.353 --> 00:11:09.854
God sees reality like no one else, amen?
00:11:09.854 --> 00:11:12.457
We see reality, but actually it is temporary reality, amen?
00:11:12.457 --> 00:11:18.096
Like this chair, it's a reality, it's a truth,
00:11:18.096 --> 00:11:20.565
It will last forever-- no, it won't.
00:11:20.565 --> 00:11:22.133
One day, it might be no more, amen?
00:11:22.133 --> 00:11:25.103
Thrown to the junk, amen? so that's what we call reality.
00:11:25.103 --> 00:11:28.139
If i can see it, i can feel it, i can touch it, it is real.
00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:31.576
No, my friend. truth is in god's eyes.
00:11:31.576 --> 00:11:35.680
How god sees truth, amen.
00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:37.782
Because god sees truth that's beyond the natural
00:11:37.782 --> 00:11:41.419
Into eternity itself, amen.
00:11:41.419 --> 00:11:44.289
So the truth among all truth is that god says,
00:11:44.289 --> 00:11:47.091
"you are one with my son.
00:11:47.091 --> 00:11:48.760
I have made it so.
00:11:48.760 --> 00:11:50.628
When he was crucified, you were crucified with him.
00:11:50.628 --> 00:11:53.464
When i raised him from the dead, you are raised out of death
00:11:53.464 --> 00:11:56.668
With him, hallelujah.
00:11:56.668 --> 00:11:58.570
When i raised him and made him to sit at my right hand,
00:11:58.570 --> 00:12:03.575
You sat with christ, my son.
00:12:03.575 --> 00:12:07.312
And you are now with him on that throne.
00:12:07.312 --> 00:12:12.483
Joint heir with christ." isn't it glorious?
00:12:12.483 --> 00:12:15.320
And god says, "i'll never see you apart
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.055
From my son."
00:12:17.055 --> 00:12:18.823
And you know how the father loves the son, right?
00:12:18.823 --> 00:12:20.959
I always say that you'll never know
00:12:20.959 --> 00:12:22.427
How much god loves you until you know
00:12:22.427 --> 00:12:25.263
How much god loves his son.
00:12:25.263 --> 00:12:27.932
Because he gave up his son for you.
00:12:27.932 --> 00:12:30.902
We are now one with jesus.
00:12:30.902 --> 00:12:32.337
But never forget, you went to the cross with him.
00:12:32.337 --> 00:12:35.006
Actually, as far as god is concerned,
00:12:35.006 --> 00:12:36.407
You were crucified with christ.
00:12:36.407 --> 00:12:38.376
Now understand this, child of god.
00:12:38.376 --> 00:12:41.045
The blood of jesus washes away your sins.
00:12:41.045 --> 00:12:43.681
Your sins are what you have done,
00:12:43.681 --> 00:12:46.351
What you do.
00:12:46.351 --> 00:12:47.886
So at the cross, christ didn't just die for your sins.
00:12:47.886 --> 00:12:51.756
Christ died as you.
00:12:51.756 --> 00:12:55.593
In other words, i was crucified with christ.
00:12:55.593 --> 00:12:59.297
That i, that is from adam, with all its sinful nature.
00:12:59.297 --> 00:13:04.335
That i in whom dwells no good thing, amen?
00:13:04.335 --> 00:13:08.706
I accept it.
00:13:08.706 --> 00:13:10.208
I don't have to have experiences, lord,
00:13:10.208 --> 00:13:11.676
To learn that-- i accept it.
00:13:11.676 --> 00:13:13.811
That i is beyond repair, amen.
00:13:13.811 --> 00:13:17.115
Beyond renovation.
00:13:17.115 --> 00:13:18.816
You cannot help yourself because that i
00:13:18.816 --> 00:13:21.152
Is the factory of sins, amen.
00:13:21.152 --> 00:13:23.421
It's the factory.
00:13:23.421 --> 00:13:24.856
God didn't just remove the products of that i,
00:13:24.856 --> 00:13:27.892
The sins, by the blood of jesus, but at the cross,
00:13:27.892 --> 00:13:31.763
God removed the factory.
00:13:31.763 --> 00:13:33.531
I have been crucified.
00:13:33.531 --> 00:13:34.899
Paul says, "i have been crucified
00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:36.567
With christ.
00:13:36.567 --> 00:13:38.102
Nevertheless, i live."
00:13:38.102 --> 00:13:39.704
Now watch for this proviso.
00:13:39.704 --> 00:13:41.873
"yet not i, but christ lives in me.
00:13:41.873 --> 00:13:45.877
And the life that i now live in the flesh,
00:13:45.877 --> 00:13:47.679
I live by the faith of the son of god."
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:49.914
So paul found the secret.
00:13:49.914 --> 00:13:52.183
The real i, the real i that was from adam,
00:13:52.183 --> 00:13:56.020
Was crucified.
00:13:56.020 --> 00:13:57.655
All right, back then it was the real i.
00:13:57.655 --> 00:13:59.457
But now the real i, the real i, and yet not i but christ, amen,
00:13:59.457 --> 00:14:05.263
Who is my real self, is alive today, amen?
00:14:05.263 --> 00:14:09.467
I am in christ risen, amen.
00:14:09.467 --> 00:14:11.436
My old self from adam has been crucified.
00:14:11.436 --> 00:14:14.172
That's why paul used the word, i have been crucified
00:14:14.172 --> 00:14:16.574
With christ.
00:14:16.574 --> 00:14:18.776
"nevertheless, i live, yet not i,
00:14:18.776 --> 00:14:20.278
But christ lives in me.
00:14:20.278 --> 00:14:22.880
And the life that i now live in the flesh,
00:14:22.880 --> 00:14:25.249
I live by the faith of the son of god
00:14:25.249 --> 00:14:28.419
Who loved me and gave himself for me."
00:14:28.419 --> 00:14:31.189
I know some translations put that i live by faith
00:14:31.189 --> 00:14:35.093
In the son of god.
00:14:35.093 --> 00:14:37.228
And actually in the original, it can go both ways.
00:14:37.228 --> 00:14:40.231
The king james put, "i live by the faith,"
00:14:40.231 --> 00:14:43.935
By the faith, not in the faith, okay, and i believe
00:14:43.935 --> 00:14:47.805
Because it can go both ways.
00:14:47.805 --> 00:14:49.340
I believe and many scholars, bible scholars
00:14:49.340 --> 00:14:52.043
Also believe that, that we live by, not in,
00:14:52.043 --> 00:14:56.614
By the faith of the son of god.
00:14:56.614 --> 00:14:58.983
Aren't you glad that it is not your puny faith?
00:14:58.983 --> 00:15:01.586
It's not your weak faith that you're living by?
00:15:01.586 --> 00:15:03.755
Whenever you feel weak in faith, just remember, i'm resting
00:15:03.755 --> 00:15:07.091
In the faith of the son of god to carry me through, amen?
00:15:07.091 --> 00:15:11.362
The son of god who loved me and gave himself for me.
00:15:11.362 --> 00:15:16.067
Praise the lord, hallelujah, amen.
00:15:16.067 --> 00:15:19.003
If you've been diagnosed with something that you find
00:15:19.003 --> 00:15:22.640
That medical science have no answer for
00:15:22.640 --> 00:15:24.976
Except for to take some medicine for some continuity
00:15:24.976 --> 00:15:27.912
Or yet even after that, you're not sure.
00:15:27.912 --> 00:15:30.281
You know, my friend, there's an answer
00:15:30.281 --> 00:15:31.949
In the lord jesus.
00:15:31.949 --> 00:15:33.317
In fact, he has accomplished it already.
00:15:33.317 --> 00:15:35.453
At that cross, he bore all your sicknesses
00:15:35.453 --> 00:15:38.389
And all your diseases.
00:15:38.389 --> 00:15:40.224
And today in heaven, he is without them.
00:15:40.224 --> 00:15:41.826
The same body, the lord's body that bore all your sicknesses
00:15:41.826 --> 00:15:46.631
And your pains and your infirmities
00:15:46.631 --> 00:15:50.368
Rose from the dead without them.
00:15:50.368 --> 00:15:52.737
What does that mean? it's all put away.
00:15:52.737 --> 00:15:54.839
And at the father's right hand today,
00:15:54.839 --> 00:15:56.841
He is free from it.
00:15:56.841 --> 00:15:58.242
So you look to the lord and say, as jesus is healthy
00:15:58.242 --> 00:16:01.512
In his brain, so am i in this world.
00:16:01.512 --> 00:16:04.749
As jesus is free from high blood pressure,
00:16:04.749 --> 00:16:08.052
So am i in this world.
00:16:08.052 --> 00:16:09.620
Whatever your ailment may be, confess as jesus is,
00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:12.490
So am i in this world.
00:16:12.490 --> 00:16:13.825
Possess this physical part as well because the bible says
00:16:13.825 --> 00:16:16.494
We are members of his body, of his flesh, literally,
00:16:16.494 --> 00:16:20.398
Of his flesh and of his bones.
00:16:20.398 --> 00:16:23.101
You cannot make that spiritual, my friend.
00:16:23.101 --> 00:16:25.103
We are literally saying, of his flesh and of his bones.
00:16:25.103 --> 00:16:27.672
And jesus definitely has healthy flesh
00:16:27.672 --> 00:16:29.674
And healthy bones, amen.
00:16:29.674 --> 00:16:31.509
And we are members of that flesh and bones, hallelujah.
00:16:31.509 --> 00:16:35.213
We are one with jesus, one with him.
00:16:35.213 --> 00:16:39.083
So let's possess this, let's own it.
00:16:39.083 --> 00:16:41.486
It's reality, it's true, amen?
00:16:41.486 --> 00:16:43.821
You are one with jesus.
00:16:43.821 --> 00:16:45.423
"but pastor prince, if i'm one with jesus,
00:16:45.423 --> 00:16:47.358
Why do i still have all this, you know, depression
00:16:47.358 --> 00:16:50.128
That comes on me and i feel lousy
00:16:50.128 --> 00:16:52.530
And i have these stirrings, sinful stirrings within me?"
00:16:52.530 --> 00:16:57.201
Well, my friend, listen.
00:16:57.201 --> 00:16:59.670
That's the thing about our christian life.
00:16:59.670 --> 00:17:01.739
The devil has convinced us that you are what you feel,
00:17:01.739 --> 00:17:05.076
You are what you experience.
00:17:05.076 --> 00:17:07.245
But our christian life is we walk by faith
00:17:07.245 --> 00:17:10.281
And not by sight.
00:17:10.281 --> 00:17:12.350
Sight there represents experience.
00:17:12.350 --> 00:17:15.153
Just like it represents all the five senses.
00:17:15.153 --> 00:17:17.955
So we say unless i see it or unless i touch it,
00:17:17.955 --> 00:17:22.660
I will not believe it-- just like thomas.
00:17:22.660 --> 00:17:24.662
Unless i touch him, i will not believe.
00:17:24.662 --> 00:17:27.031
And jesus says, "blessed are those
00:17:27.031 --> 00:17:28.866
Who have not seen and yet believe."
00:17:28.866 --> 00:17:31.335
Why, because we limit ourself to a world of the five senses.
00:17:31.335 --> 00:17:35.339
It's very limited and we think that we have the truth
00:17:35.339 --> 00:17:38.009
Because we can see it, touch it.
00:17:38.009 --> 00:17:39.443
No, it could just be a temporary reality
00:17:39.443 --> 00:17:41.812
Because our world is so small because we are depending
00:17:41.812 --> 00:17:44.415
On our five senses.
00:17:44.415 --> 00:17:45.750
But my friend, faith is not saying,
00:17:45.750 --> 00:17:48.753
The thing is not there but if you have faith,
00:17:48.753 --> 00:17:52.156
It will become real.
00:17:52.156 --> 00:17:54.258
It will be so. it will then exist.
00:17:54.258 --> 00:17:57.962
No, faith is saying like the word "imputation,"
00:17:57.962 --> 00:18:01.766
The word "reckon," it's the word logizomai in greek.
00:18:01.766 --> 00:18:06.137
It means to count it so because it is so.
00:18:06.137 --> 00:18:10.641
Now watch this.
00:18:10.641 --> 00:18:12.009
I'm going to give you this verse right now
00:18:12.009 --> 00:18:13.344
In romans chapter 6, verse 9: "knowing that christ,
00:18:13.344 --> 00:18:20.084
Having been raised from the dead, dies no more."
00:18:20.084 --> 00:18:23.988
How many can say amen?
00:18:23.988 --> 00:18:25.389
"having been raised from the dead, he dies no more.
00:18:25.389 --> 00:18:28.726
Death no longer has dominion over him.
00:18:28.726 --> 00:18:32.630
For the death that he died," now watch this now.
00:18:32.630 --> 00:18:35.032
"for the death that he died, he died to sin once for all;
00:18:35.032 --> 00:18:39.403
But the life that he lives, he lives to god.
00:18:39.403 --> 00:18:42.206
Likewise," what is likewise?
00:18:42.206 --> 00:18:45.576
Likewise means in the same manner.
00:18:45.576 --> 00:18:49.113
"you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin,
00:18:49.113 --> 00:18:54.652
But alive to god in christ jesus our lord."
00:18:54.652 --> 00:18:57.622
And yet, you know, we have people teaching that,
00:18:57.622 --> 00:19:00.091
You know, you are supposed to reckon yourself dead to sin
00:19:00.091 --> 00:19:03.628
Progressively every day, you know.
00:19:03.628 --> 00:19:06.931
But my friend, this is not a progressive death to sin.
00:19:06.931 --> 00:19:10.635
This is once and for all. why?
00:19:10.635 --> 00:19:12.470
"in the same manner, reckon yourself
00:19:12.470 --> 00:19:14.305
To be dead indeed unto sin."
00:19:14.305 --> 00:19:15.773
The same manner as what?
00:19:15.773 --> 00:19:17.141
As the way our lord jesus died to sin.
00:19:17.141 --> 00:19:19.844
"for the death that he died," in verse 10, he says,
00:19:19.844 --> 00:19:23.014
"the death that he died, he died to sin," what?
00:19:23.014 --> 00:19:25.316
"once for all."
00:19:25.316 --> 00:19:26.884
In other words, you have died to sin once for all.
00:19:26.884 --> 00:19:30.821
When was that? at the cross.
00:19:30.888 --> 00:19:33.057
You and i, we died to sin once and for all.
00:19:33.057 --> 00:19:37.094
Sin has nothing to say to us, even though it's talking to us
00:19:37.094 --> 00:19:40.197
All the time, amen.
00:19:40.197 --> 00:19:41.799
And we have nothing to say to sin.
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:43.401
We are dead. we are dead to sin.
00:19:43.401 --> 00:19:48.005
We are dead to sin as much as israel
00:19:48.005 --> 00:19:50.975
Is on the other side of the red sea
00:19:50.975 --> 00:19:53.477
And all the enemies are buried, amen.
00:19:53.477 --> 00:19:57.615
Are you seeing what god is showing you?
00:19:57.682 --> 00:20:00.651
Are you seeing what the devil is projecting into you?
00:20:00.651 --> 00:20:04.155
The devil wants you to see the enemy
00:20:04.155 --> 00:20:06.924
Is alive and well.
00:20:06.924 --> 00:20:08.626
All your sinful tendencies is alive and well.
00:20:08.626 --> 00:20:11.128
"but pastor prince, they are there.
00:20:11.128 --> 00:20:12.763
They literally are there. i know they are there."
00:20:12.763 --> 00:20:14.699
But you know, these are just like mirage.
00:20:14.699 --> 00:20:18.636
I know you feel them.
00:20:18.636 --> 00:20:20.271
But what you feel is not reality,
00:20:20.271 --> 00:20:22.039
Okay, my friend, amen?
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:23.941
What you feel isn't, you know, feelings from god.
00:20:23.941 --> 00:20:26.777
Don't think for one moment, i'm just saying
00:20:26.777 --> 00:20:28.913
That we can live life without feelings
00:20:28.913 --> 00:20:30.915
And feelings makes no matter.
00:20:30.915 --> 00:20:32.650
No, no friend.
00:20:32.650 --> 00:20:34.051
What i'm saying is that feelings is not the barometer for truth.
00:20:34.051 --> 00:20:38.989
Feelings is to be enjoyed actually.
00:20:38.989 --> 00:20:41.826
God gives us feelings to enjoy, amen?
00:20:41.826 --> 00:20:44.995
But then, when we are in sin, it goes the other side.
00:20:44.995 --> 00:20:48.499
Depression, fear, worry, stress, distress.
00:20:48.499 --> 00:20:51.769
You know, and that's not what god wants.
00:20:51.769 --> 00:20:54.038
But you can't depend on feelings.
00:20:54.038 --> 00:20:55.840
We walk by faith and not by sight.
00:20:55.840 --> 00:20:57.208
"but pastor prince, this feeling is so real."
00:20:57.208 --> 00:20:58.642
When we go back to romans 6, verse 11,
00:20:58.642 --> 00:21:01.445
Jesus died to sin once and for all.
00:21:01.445 --> 00:21:02.947
Where? at the cross, amen?
00:21:02.947 --> 00:21:05.082
Likewise, in the same manner, reckon yourself what?
00:21:05.082 --> 00:21:08.452
Dead indeed to sin.
00:21:08.452 --> 00:21:10.321
So the word "logizomai" is here in verse 11:
00:21:10.321 --> 00:21:13.724
"reckon yourself to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to god
00:21:13.724 --> 00:21:17.094
In christ jesus our lord."
00:21:17.094 --> 00:21:18.729
So in other words, if i see jesus as my real self,
00:21:18.729 --> 00:21:21.198
I see him on the other side of the grave.
00:21:21.198 --> 00:21:23.801
He is risen, amen?
00:21:23.801 --> 00:21:25.903
So the death and judgment that he experienced
00:21:25.903 --> 00:21:28.906
Is all in the past, at the cross.
00:21:28.906 --> 00:21:31.509
It's all behind him.
00:21:31.509 --> 00:21:33.077
And i'm in him, it's all behind me, hallelujah.
00:21:33.077 --> 00:21:36.847
I'm like israel. i see all my enemies.
00:21:36.847 --> 00:21:40.017
"but then, pastor prince, how do you deal
00:21:40.017 --> 00:21:41.886
With those things when they stir up?"
00:21:41.886 --> 00:21:43.254
I just say, it's a lie.
00:21:43.254 --> 00:21:44.655
It's a lie. it's a lie.
00:21:44.655 --> 00:21:46.524
This temptation of lust comes up, amen.
00:21:46.524 --> 00:21:48.793
Lustful stirrings or angry feelings or depression
00:21:48.793 --> 00:21:54.064
Or feeling of self-pity.
00:21:54.064 --> 00:21:57.835
All these are sins.
00:21:57.835 --> 00:21:59.937
They come up inside you and they want you
00:21:59.937 --> 00:22:02.306
To be self-occupied.
00:22:02.306 --> 00:22:04.809
Feelings of jealousy, feelings of pride.
00:22:04.809 --> 00:22:09.847
When they come up, they look real.
00:22:09.847 --> 00:22:13.117
I mean, they feel real, right?
00:22:13.117 --> 00:22:16.487
But they are dead.
00:22:16.487 --> 00:22:18.456
God's word is truth.
00:22:18.456 --> 00:22:20.558
You cannot remove god's truth.
00:22:20.558 --> 00:22:22.326
God says they are dead.
00:22:22.326 --> 00:22:23.994
God says you are dead to them.
00:22:23.994 --> 00:22:27.097
They are finished off at the cross.
00:22:27.097 --> 00:22:28.799
The same way the egyptians, pharaoh and all his armies
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.869
Are dead, okay.
00:22:31.869 --> 00:22:34.138
All these things are types.
00:22:34.138 --> 00:22:36.073
And you are not on this side of the red sea, my friend.
00:22:36.073 --> 00:22:39.310
You are on the other side of the red sea.
00:22:39.310 --> 00:22:41.378
You are not looking at all your sinful enemies
00:22:41.378 --> 00:22:44.582
And all these stirrings and outworkings of the flesh
00:22:44.582 --> 00:22:48.452
Screaming at you, "indulge me!
00:22:48.452 --> 00:22:50.621
Indulge me! yield to me!"
00:22:50.621 --> 00:22:52.456
And they appear so real, they appear so alive,
00:22:52.456 --> 00:22:56.160
And you feel them, you feel their power.
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.662
But you know what?
00:22:58.662 --> 00:22:59.997
You stop and say, no, they are dead.
00:22:59.997 --> 00:23:01.565
I'm dead to them.
00:23:01.565 --> 00:23:03.400
I'm not trying to be dead. i am dead.
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:06.070
You are not dead in your feeling.
00:23:06.070 --> 00:23:08.372
You are not dead in your experience.
00:23:08.372 --> 00:23:10.708
God never said so. you are dead in faith.
00:23:10.708 --> 00:23:15.079
And faith is based on facts.
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.782
Logizomai, reckon yourself dead to sin.
00:23:18.782 --> 00:23:21.519
Thayer says it like this, he illustrates:
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.954
If i have $25 in the bank and i logizomai that i have,
00:23:23.954 --> 00:23:29.493
I reckon that i have $25 in the bank.
00:23:29.493 --> 00:23:32.663
It is because i have $25.
00:23:32.663 --> 00:23:35.766
Thayer, the greek scholar, says, logizomai, reckoning,
00:23:35.766 --> 00:23:41.305
Like a picture of faith, right?
00:23:41.305 --> 00:23:43.474
Reckoning is not based on suppositions.
00:23:43.474 --> 00:23:47.111
It is based on facts.
00:23:47.111 --> 00:23:48.746
The reason i reckon that i have $25 in the bank
00:23:48.746 --> 00:23:52.349
Is because i have $25 in the bank.
00:23:52.349 --> 00:23:55.052
So reckon yourself dead indeed to sin
00:23:55.052 --> 00:23:57.154
But alive unto god in christ jesus
00:23:57.154 --> 00:23:59.123
Because it is so, amen.
00:23:59.123 --> 00:24:03.961
Where are your eyes today?
00:24:03.961 --> 00:24:05.796
"pastor, when the feeling come of temptation,
00:24:05.796 --> 00:24:08.032
I feel anger and all that," you'll stop
00:24:08.032 --> 00:24:10.834
And i'm telling you this, rejoice.
00:24:10.834 --> 00:24:13.704
Rejoice because you're not bound to the lie
00:24:13.704 --> 00:24:16.840
That you are this sin.
00:24:16.840 --> 00:24:18.809
You are this sin and then, you know, god sees you
00:24:18.809 --> 00:24:22.913
In that sin.
00:24:22.913 --> 00:24:24.315
No, god separates you from that sin.
00:24:24.315 --> 00:24:26.283
You are no more in the natural life.
00:24:26.283 --> 00:24:27.818
You are in resurrection life. you are in christ risen.
00:24:27.818 --> 00:24:30.955
And this is one of the prayers that i encourage you all to pray
00:24:30.955 --> 00:24:33.791
That we may know-- ask god for the spirit
00:24:33.791 --> 00:24:36.193
Of wisdom and revelation, that we may know,
00:24:36.193 --> 00:24:38.162
"the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward.
00:24:38.162 --> 00:24:42.266
The same power that he wrought in christ,
00:24:42.266 --> 00:24:44.268
When he raised him from the dead."
00:24:44.268 --> 00:24:46.370
We are in christ risen, my friend,
00:24:46.370 --> 00:24:49.540
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:24:49.540 --> 00:24:52.409

Announcer: and now, a closing word
00:25:25.743 --> 00:25:27.077
From pastor joseph prince.
00:25:27.077 --> 00:25:28.679
Joseph prince: the lord preserves you
00:25:28.679 --> 00:25:30.481
And covers you with his precious blood
00:25:30.481 --> 00:25:32.883
That he has redeemed you with.
00:25:32.883 --> 00:25:34.785
The lord make his face to shine on you.
00:25:34.785 --> 00:25:36.887
See his smiling face on you.
00:25:36.887 --> 00:25:38.455
Israel always saw the hiding of his face
00:25:38.455 --> 00:25:41.291
In the old testament.
00:25:41.291 --> 00:25:42.760
But see his face smiling on you.
00:25:42.760 --> 00:25:44.628
To see god's smiling face on you,
00:25:44.628 --> 00:25:46.830
God's face shining on you, is to receive all the blessings
00:25:46.830 --> 00:25:50.234
And all the favor and all the goodness of god, amen.
00:25:50.234 --> 00:25:53.470
The lord make his face to shine on you
00:25:53.470 --> 00:25:55.773
And be favorable to you this week.
00:25:55.773 --> 00:25:59.376

The lord lift up his countenance on you and your families
00:26:04.782 --> 00:26:08.986
And grant to you his shalom, peace, well-being,
00:26:08.986 --> 00:26:13.991
