  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.311
  • Joseph prince: when you pray in the holy spirit,
  • 00:00:12.789 --> 00:00:14.124
  • You are praying from your most holy place,
  • 00:00:14.124 --> 00:00:16.926
  • The holy of holies, most holy means holy of holies.
  • 00:00:16.926 --> 00:00:19.429
  • You are the temple of god.
  • 00:00:19.429 --> 00:00:20.763
  • When you pray in the spirit, you can do it all day long.
  • 00:00:20.763 --> 00:00:23.133
  • You are praying from your most holy place.
  • 00:00:23.133 --> 00:00:26.836
  • Male announcer: feeling anxious, stuck,
  • 00:00:26.836 --> 00:00:28.738
  • Or unsure how to pray?
  • 00:00:28.738 --> 00:00:30.440
  • In today's message, joseph prince shares
  • 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.642
  • How praying in the spirit unlocks god's power
  • 00:00:32.642 --> 00:00:35.311
  • Exactly when you need it most.
  • 00:00:35.311 --> 00:00:38.047
  • And now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:00:38.047 --> 00:00:40.283
  • With today's program.
  • 00:00:40.283 --> 00:00:41.618
  • Joseph prince: the lord spoke to me and the lord said to me
  • 00:00:41.618 --> 00:00:43.620
  • To tell all of us to pray in the spirit regularly,
  • 00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:47.790
  • At least every day.
  • 00:00:47.790 --> 00:00:49.125
  • Spend some time, at least half an hour to one hour.
  • 00:00:49.125 --> 00:00:54.264
  • Set aside time, and it doesn't mean that you
  • 00:00:54.264 --> 00:00:56.833
  • Must observe it legalistically every day.
  • 00:00:56.833 --> 00:00:59.602
  • In jesus's name, i pray,
  • 00:00:59.602 --> 00:01:01.604
  • And start praying in tongues, amen.
  • 00:01:01.604 --> 00:01:03.239
  • At least for half an hour to one hour, okay?
  • 00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:06.476
  • Praise the lord. every day.
  • 00:01:06.476 --> 00:01:08.011
  • Will you do that, amen? and there's a promise.
  • 00:01:08.011 --> 00:01:10.079
  • And when he spoke to me,
  • 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.447
  • He also gave me this portion of scripture.
  • 00:01:11.447 --> 00:01:13.950
  • This is what the lord said to me from this portion here.
  • 00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:17.253
  • "so shall they fear the name of the lord from the west,
  • 00:01:17.253 --> 00:01:19.923
  • And his glory from the rising of the sun."
  • 00:01:19.923 --> 00:01:22.225
  • So something's gonna happen, all right, that will cause
  • 00:01:22.225 --> 00:01:24.260
  • The people—and this is a prophecy, by the way,
  • 00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:26.563
  • In isaiah 59.
  • 00:01:26.563 --> 00:01:27.897
  • "the people will fear the name of the lord,"
  • 00:01:27.897 --> 00:01:29.799
  • That's the name of jesus, "from the west,
  • 00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:31.801
  • And his glory from the rising of the sun."
  • 00:01:31.801 --> 00:01:34.237
  • That's the east.
  • 00:01:34.237 --> 00:01:35.638
  • "when the enemy comes in like a flood,
  • 00:01:35.638 --> 00:01:38.508
  • The spirit of the lord
  • 00:01:38.508 --> 00:01:39.842
  • Will lift up a standard against him."
  • 00:01:39.842 --> 00:01:41.377
  • In those days, they will carry their banner, amen?
  • 00:01:41.377 --> 00:01:44.080
  • And with that banner, they will go into the battle, amen?
  • 00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:47.116
  • When they lift their banner again in the battle,
  • 00:01:47.116 --> 00:01:49.919
  • That means they have won the victory.
  • 00:01:49.919 --> 00:01:51.254
  • Those who banners were fallen, they have been defeated.
  • 00:01:51.254 --> 00:01:53.423
  • And bible says, the holy spirit, the spirit of the lord,
  • 00:01:53.423 --> 00:01:55.825
  • Will lift up a standard against the enemy.
  • 00:01:55.825 --> 00:01:58.261
  • When he comes in like a flood--
  • 00:01:58.261 --> 00:01:59.829
  • When he comes in like a flood, the spirit of the lord
  • 00:01:59.829 --> 00:02:01.664
  • Will lift up a standard against him.
  • 00:02:01.664 --> 00:02:03.066
  • And what is this standard?
  • 00:02:03.066 --> 00:02:04.400
  • It goes on to say: "'the redeemer
  • 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:05.735
  • Will come to zion,
  • 00:02:05.735 --> 00:02:07.070
  • And to those who turn from transgression in jacob,'
  • 00:02:07.070 --> 00:02:08.871
  • Says the lord."
  • 00:02:08.871 --> 00:02:10.206
  • Now, this is a promise that is repeated by paul
  • 00:02:10.206 --> 00:02:13.042
  • In the book of romans.
  • 00:02:13.042 --> 00:02:14.844
  • And he goes on to say, "'as for me,' says the lord,
  • 00:02:14.844 --> 00:02:17.614
  • 'this is my covenant with them: my spirit who is upon you,
  • 00:02:17.614 --> 00:02:22.285
  • And my words which i have put in your mouth.'"
  • 00:02:22.285 --> 00:02:25.121
  • Notice this, this is talking about a covenant,
  • 00:02:25.121 --> 00:02:27.557
  • A new covenant.
  • 00:02:27.557 --> 00:02:28.891
  • "'as for me, this is my covenant with them:
  • 00:02:28.891 --> 00:02:30.693
  • My spirit who is upon you,
  • 00:02:30.693 --> 00:02:33.429
  • And my words which i have put in your mouth,
  • 00:02:33.429 --> 00:02:37.066
  • Shall not depart from your mouth.'"
  • 00:02:37.066 --> 00:02:39.636
  • That sounds like joshua 1:8.
  • 00:02:39.636 --> 00:02:41.170
  • "'nor from the mouth of your descendants,'"
  • 00:02:41.170 --> 00:02:43.640
  • Your children, "'nor from the mouth
  • 00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:45.875
  • Of your descendants' descendants,'"
  • 00:02:45.875 --> 00:02:48.144
  • Those are your grandchildren, "says the lord,
  • 00:02:48.144 --> 00:02:50.046
  • 'from this time and forevermore.'"
  • 00:02:50.046 --> 00:02:52.882
  • What do you reckon are those words?
  • 00:02:52.882 --> 00:02:55.218
  • What do you think is this new covenant?
  • 00:02:55.218 --> 00:02:57.020
  • God says, this new covenant,
  • 00:02:57.020 --> 00:02:58.588
  • I'm going to put my words in your mouth
  • 00:02:58.588 --> 00:03:00.757
  • And in the mouth of your children
  • 00:03:00.757 --> 00:03:02.625
  • And in the mouth of your grandchildren.
  • 00:03:02.625 --> 00:03:04.594
  • And before he says that he'll put his words,
  • 00:03:04.594 --> 00:03:06.496
  • He says, my spirit, my holy spirit,
  • 00:03:06.496 --> 00:03:09.399
  • The ruach hakodesh,
  • 00:03:09.399 --> 00:03:10.733
  • The holy spirit will be upon you.
  • 00:03:10.733 --> 00:03:12.869
  • My spirit will be upon you and you will speak
  • 00:03:12.869 --> 00:03:15.204
  • The words that i put in your mouth.
  • 00:03:15.204 --> 00:03:16.806
  • And friend, the whole context there
  • 00:03:16.806 --> 00:03:18.708
  • Is how he will lift up a standard against the enemy
  • 00:03:18.708 --> 00:03:21.477
  • When the enemy comes in like a flood, amen.
  • 00:03:21.477 --> 00:03:23.980
  • We pray in the spirit.
  • 00:03:23.980 --> 00:03:26.182
  • We pray in tongues, hallelujah.
  • 00:03:26.182 --> 00:03:28.351
  • When the holy spirit came in the upper room
  • 00:03:28.351 --> 00:03:30.219
  • On all the disciples,
  • 00:03:30.219 --> 00:03:31.888
  • The bible tells us when the spirit came on them,
  • 00:03:31.888 --> 00:03:34.257
  • What happened to their mouth?
  • 00:03:34.257 --> 00:03:35.591
  • Their mouth was filled with words, hallelujah,
  • 00:03:35.591 --> 00:03:40.229
  • Spiritual words.
  • 00:03:40.229 --> 00:03:42.432
  • Paul talks about spiritual words that man's wisdom does not teach
  • 00:03:42.432 --> 00:03:47.437
  • But which the spirit teaches.
  • 00:03:47.437 --> 00:03:50.306
  • Not in words of man's wisdom but in the words
  • 00:03:50.306 --> 00:03:53.543
  • Which the holy ghost teaches.
  • 00:03:53.543 --> 00:03:55.511
  • That's what paul says in corinthians.
  • 00:03:55.511 --> 00:03:58.081
  • Another place in corinthians, paul says,
  • 00:03:58.081 --> 00:03:59.782
  • Howbeit when you pray in tongues.
  • 00:03:59.782 --> 00:04:01.484
  • When you pray in tongues, howbeit in the spirit,
  • 00:04:01.484 --> 00:04:04.854
  • He speaks mysteries.
  • 00:04:04.854 --> 00:04:07.290
  • And no wonder the apostle paul,
  • 00:04:07.290 --> 00:04:08.624
  • Who wrote three-fourths of the new testament,
  • 00:04:08.624 --> 00:04:10.827
  • He was able to understand
  • 00:04:10.827 --> 00:04:13.529
  • The mysteries hidden in the old testament,
  • 00:04:13.529 --> 00:04:16.499
  • Hidden from the foundation of the world
  • 00:04:16.499 --> 00:04:18.801
  • But was revealed in the new testament.
  • 00:04:18.801 --> 00:04:21.170
  • And every time paul says, "behold, i show you a mystery,"
  • 00:04:21.170 --> 00:04:24.073
  • You wonder how he got that mystery, amen?
  • 00:04:24.073 --> 00:04:27.110
  • He's talking about the mystery of the church
  • 00:04:27.110 --> 00:04:28.678
  • That was hidden in the old testament.
  • 00:04:28.678 --> 00:04:30.913
  • The mystery of marriage, which is christ and the church,
  • 00:04:30.913 --> 00:04:33.649
  • Which was hidden.
  • 00:04:33.649 --> 00:04:34.984
  • "behold, i show you a mystery,"
  • 00:04:34.984 --> 00:04:36.552
  • Christ and the church when he talked about marriage.
  • 00:04:36.552 --> 00:04:39.288
  • And he talked about the mystery of godliness.
  • 00:04:39.288 --> 00:04:41.924
  • God incarnate in human flesh, hallelujah.
  • 00:04:41.924 --> 00:04:45.962
  • The mystery of godliness.
  • 00:04:45.962 --> 00:04:47.797
  • He talks about even the mystery of iniquity,
  • 00:04:47.797 --> 00:04:49.899
  • How it works, amen.
  • 00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:51.501
  • Mystery, mysterion in the greek.
  • 00:04:51.501 --> 00:04:54.670
  • Mystery in the new covenant is not something still hidden.
  • 00:04:54.670 --> 00:04:58.341
  • Mystery in the new covenant,
  • 00:04:58.341 --> 00:04:59.675
  • Whenever you find the word "mystery,"
  • 00:04:59.675 --> 00:05:01.010
  • That means it was once a mystery,
  • 00:05:01.010 --> 00:05:03.446
  • But it's now unveiled.
  • 00:05:03.446 --> 00:05:05.782
  • It is now revealed, hallelujah.
  • 00:05:05.782 --> 00:05:09.152
  • Praise the lord, amen.
  • 00:05:09.152 --> 00:05:10.887
  • So when you pray in tongues, howbeit?
  • 00:05:10.887 --> 00:05:13.222
  • Paul says, "whoever speaks in an unknown tongue
  • 00:05:13.222 --> 00:05:16.125
  • Speaks not unto men, but unto god.
  • 00:05:16.125 --> 00:05:19.095
  • Howbeit," that word, "howbeit,"
  • 00:05:19.095 --> 00:05:21.097
  • Means the modus operandi.
  • 00:05:21.097 --> 00:05:23.599
  • How does it work?
  • 00:05:23.599 --> 00:05:24.934
  • Howbeit in the spirit, he is speaking mysteries.
  • 00:05:24.934 --> 00:05:28.137
  • The same word for the mystery of the church.
  • 00:05:28.137 --> 00:05:30.506
  • And god will reveal to you in your spirit man revelations.
  • 00:05:30.506 --> 00:05:34.343
  • And that's why when you pray in the spirit a lot,
  • 00:05:34.343 --> 00:05:36.979
  • The word of god comes to life, hallelujah.
  • 00:05:36.979 --> 00:05:39.549
  • It must be something powerful.
  • 00:05:39.549 --> 00:05:41.284
  • What was the law that could not give man
  • 00:05:41.284 --> 00:05:44.854
  • The strength to be holy came on the mount zion,
  • 00:05:44.854 --> 00:05:48.691
  • Not on mount sinai, as the spirit, amen.
  • 00:05:48.691 --> 00:05:51.894
  • On mount sinai, god gave the ten commandments,
  • 00:05:51.894 --> 00:05:54.464
  • God gave the law and 3000 people died.
  • 00:05:54.464 --> 00:05:57.633
  • It was the first feast of pentecost.
  • 00:05:57.633 --> 00:06:01.737
  • But here, when the day of pentecost was fully come,
  • 00:06:01.737 --> 00:06:04.440
  • On mount zion, not mount sinai, mount zion,
  • 00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:08.177
  • God gave the spirit, not the law.
  • 00:06:08.177 --> 00:06:10.780
  • And 3000 people were saved.
  • 00:06:10.780 --> 00:06:12.582
  • And that's why the apostle paul says
  • 00:06:12.582 --> 00:06:14.450
  • The letter of the law kills, but the spirit gives life.
  • 00:06:14.450 --> 00:06:18.287
  • So what was the law, and the bible says,
  • 00:06:18.287 --> 00:06:20.490
  • But the law is the knowledge of sin.
  • 00:06:20.490 --> 00:06:22.325
  • When the commandment came, sin revived and i died.
  • 00:06:22.325 --> 00:06:25.495
  • And people still don't understand
  • 00:06:25.495 --> 00:06:26.996
  • What it means to be dead to the law.
  • 00:06:26.996 --> 00:06:28.397
  • They think that, oh, you can go ahead and sin
  • 00:06:28.397 --> 00:06:30.766
  • And it doesn't really matter anymore.
  • 00:06:30.766 --> 00:06:32.134
  • What you're saying, you're dead to the law,
  • 00:06:32.134 --> 00:06:33.703
  • You can just go ahead and sin.
  • 00:06:33.703 --> 00:06:35.037
  • That's the furthest from paul's mind
  • 00:06:35.037 --> 00:06:38.875
  • And from my teaching.
  • 00:06:38.875 --> 00:06:40.309
  • I want to share with you a testimony
  • 00:06:40.309 --> 00:06:41.978
  • That will bless you and encourage you.
  • 00:06:41.978 --> 00:06:44.714
  • Here's a brother from ohio, the united states,
  • 00:06:44.714 --> 00:06:48.184
  • And he shares, "i have been a christian my entire life,
  • 00:06:48.184 --> 00:06:51.387
  • But my lifestyle had not been
  • 00:06:51.387 --> 00:06:52.788
  • A worthy representation for christ
  • 00:06:52.788 --> 00:06:54.790
  • Even though the lord had blessed me richly.
  • 00:06:54.790 --> 00:06:57.927
  • I was a ceo in a non-profit organization
  • 00:06:57.927 --> 00:07:01.197
  • And had tried my best to be a good influence
  • 00:07:01.197 --> 00:07:03.900
  • For my employees and those i served.
  • 00:07:03.900 --> 00:07:06.669
  • But i lived a secret life, dominated by pot smoking,
  • 00:07:06.669 --> 00:07:11.541
  • Alcohol, and pornography.
  • 00:07:11.541 --> 00:07:15.077
  • I knew i was leading a double life.
  • 00:07:15.077 --> 00:07:17.513
  • Needless to say, despite my best intentions,
  • 00:07:17.513 --> 00:07:21.284
  • I lost my job, my reputation was tarnished,
  • 00:07:21.284 --> 00:07:25.021
  • And all that i had built up was torn down.
  • 00:07:25.021 --> 00:07:28.891
  • During that time, i kept asking god
  • 00:07:28.891 --> 00:07:31.394
  • To forgive me and change my heart.
  • 00:07:31.394 --> 00:07:33.529
  • I knew i couldn't become the person i wanted to be
  • 00:07:33.529 --> 00:07:36.399
  • Without the help of the holy spirit.
  • 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.534
  • But no matter how much i tried, i couldn't change my behavior.
  • 00:07:38.534 --> 00:07:43.005
  • Then, i found pastor prince's program on television.
  • 00:07:43.005 --> 00:07:46.976
  • And as i listened to his teaching on god's grace,
  • 00:07:46.976 --> 00:07:50.379
  • My spirit started to stir within me.
  • 00:07:50.379 --> 00:07:53.316
  • It took many months of listening
  • 00:07:53.316 --> 00:07:55.484
  • Before anything changed in my life.
  • 00:07:55.484 --> 00:07:58.621
  • Pastor prince, your message of grace
  • 00:07:58.621 --> 00:08:00.456
  • Was the turning point for me.
  • 00:08:00.456 --> 00:08:02.425
  • When i heard god loves me and cares for me,
  • 00:08:02.425 --> 00:08:05.428
  • Even as i struggled with my sins,
  • 00:08:05.428 --> 00:08:07.763
  • My heart was moved and i knew it was time to change."
  • 00:08:07.763 --> 00:08:11.567
  • Notice it's the goodness of god that leads people to repentance.
  • 00:08:11.567 --> 00:08:14.937
  • "and you said to remind myself, even in my sin,
  • 00:08:14.937 --> 00:08:17.840
  • That i am the righteousness of god in christ."
  • 00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:20.977
  • You see, in your sin, the bible says, knowing this,
  • 00:08:20.977 --> 00:08:24.380
  • One of the provisions of christ on that cross
  • 00:08:24.380 --> 00:08:28.417
  • Is also this, romans 6:6:
  • 00:08:28.417 --> 00:08:30.286
  • "knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him,
  • 00:08:30.286 --> 00:08:34.156
  • That the body of sin might be put away," all right,
  • 00:08:34.156 --> 00:08:37.093
  • "might be destroyed," in the king james,
  • 00:08:37.093 --> 00:08:39.028
  • But actually be put out of action in the greek,
  • 00:08:39.028 --> 00:08:42.298
  • That we should not serve sin.
  • 00:08:42.298 --> 00:08:44.400
  • So our old man was crucified with christ.
  • 00:08:44.400 --> 00:08:46.168
  • So every time you have a temptation, right,
  • 00:08:46.168 --> 00:08:48.037
  • You must not acknowledge the old man as if he's alive.
  • 00:08:48.037 --> 00:08:51.173
  • But he feels alive.
  • 00:08:51.173 --> 00:08:52.808
  • The temptations are so real, amen?
  • 00:08:52.808 --> 00:08:55.478
  • And you feel the pull towards that direction.
  • 00:08:55.478 --> 00:08:58.814
  • And yet, you must not acknowledge
  • 00:08:58.814 --> 00:09:00.216
  • That it is alive.
  • 00:09:00.216 --> 00:09:01.717
  • Don't compliment him, the old man,
  • 00:09:01.717 --> 00:09:03.686
  • By acting like he's alive.
  • 00:09:03.686 --> 00:09:06.122
  • "i'll struggle against it."
  • 00:09:06.122 --> 00:09:07.556
  • When you struggle against it,
  • 00:09:07.556 --> 00:09:08.891
  • You're actually saying he's alive.
  • 00:09:08.891 --> 00:09:10.593
  • When you are cognizant of him, when you recognize him,
  • 00:09:10.593 --> 00:09:13.829
  • When you fight against him, what you are saying
  • 00:09:13.829 --> 00:09:16.332
  • Is that my old man is still alive.
  • 00:09:16.332 --> 00:09:18.734
  • So what's the right posture?
  • 00:09:18.734 --> 00:09:20.369
  • You drop down to verse 11 in romans 6,
  • 00:09:20.369 --> 00:09:22.471
  • It says: "likewise reckon yourself dead indeed unto sin."
  • 00:09:22.471 --> 00:09:26.642
  • And the verse before that says:
  • 00:09:26.642 --> 00:09:27.977
  • "christ died to sin on the cross once and for all.
  • 00:09:27.977 --> 00:09:31.347
  • Likewise," in the same manner, "consider yourself,"
  • 00:09:31.347 --> 00:09:33.983
  • It's a accounting term, consider, take into account,
  • 00:09:33.983 --> 00:09:37.520
  • "that you have died to sin."
  • 00:09:37.520 --> 00:09:38.854
  • In other words, my old man that i feel so alive in me,
  • 00:09:38.854 --> 00:09:43.125
  • Giving me all the wrong desires,
  • 00:09:43.125 --> 00:09:44.927
  • Different lusts and different feelings
  • 00:09:44.927 --> 00:09:48.097
  • Of anger or frustration or whatever, all right?
  • 00:09:48.097 --> 00:09:50.900
  • I must acknowledge that he's gone.
  • 00:09:50.900 --> 00:09:52.535
  • That all this is like a mirage.
  • 00:09:52.535 --> 00:09:54.637
  • To faith, he is gone.
  • 00:09:54.637 --> 00:09:56.405
  • He has been dealt with at the cross, hallelujah.
  • 00:09:56.405 --> 00:09:58.908
  • To god, he doesn't exist.
  • 00:09:58.908 --> 00:10:00.743
  • Now, to experience, he exists.
  • 00:10:00.743 --> 00:10:03.145
  • But to faith, faith agrees with god and say he is gone.
  • 00:10:03.145 --> 00:10:06.782
  • So don't act and don't pray even against it
  • 00:10:06.782 --> 00:10:09.485
  • Because if you pray against him, right, you'll find
  • 00:10:09.485 --> 00:10:12.054
  • That as you are praying, you fall into sin.
  • 00:10:12.054 --> 00:10:14.390
  • Have you experienced that before?
  • 00:10:14.390 --> 00:10:15.725
  • So the best approach is the bible approach.
  • 00:10:15.725 --> 00:10:18.160
  • Consider it done.
  • 00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:19.595
  • That old man was crucified.
  • 00:10:19.595 --> 00:10:21.030
  • That's the word "reckon" or "impute," amen?
  • 00:10:21.030 --> 00:10:24.366
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:10:24.366 --> 00:10:25.701
  • And "you said to remind myself even in my sin that i am
  • 00:10:25.701 --> 00:10:29.171
  • The righteousness of god in christ.
  • 00:10:29.171 --> 00:10:31.207
  • I did that and i also started partaking
  • 00:10:31.207 --> 00:10:33.943
  • Of the holy communion daily.
  • 00:10:33.943 --> 00:10:35.745
  • I also received a vision that inspired me
  • 00:10:35.745 --> 00:10:38.214
  • To change the way i was living."
  • 00:10:38.214 --> 00:10:40.416
  • All this came from god.
  • 00:10:40.416 --> 00:10:42.485
  • "with the help of the holy spirit,
  • 00:10:42.485 --> 00:10:43.819
  • I lost the desire to smoke pot, drink,
  • 00:10:43.819 --> 00:10:47.823
  • And watch pornography."
  • 00:10:47.823 --> 00:10:49.391
  • Friend, true deliverance
  • 00:10:49.391 --> 00:10:51.060
  • Is losing the desire for that thing.
  • 00:10:51.060 --> 00:10:53.929
  • It's not just, "i still want it, i still want it,
  • 00:10:53.929 --> 00:10:55.931
  • But i'm controlling myself."
  • 00:10:55.931 --> 00:10:58.033
  • That is not deliverance.
  • 00:10:58.033 --> 00:11:00.236
  • You are still trying to control yourself by your fleshly effort,
  • 00:11:00.236 --> 00:11:04.140
  • And soon enough, you will break free,
  • 00:11:04.140 --> 00:11:06.976
  • All right, from that, you know, and what is going to happen?
  • 00:11:06.976 --> 00:11:09.945
  • You're going to binge on it.
  • 00:11:09.945 --> 00:11:12.748
  • That's what the flesh does.
  • 00:11:12.748 --> 00:11:14.650
  • True deliverance is by the holy spirit.
  • 00:11:14.650 --> 00:11:17.987
  • That's why grace is all about heart transformation.
  • 00:11:17.987 --> 00:11:22.391
  • It's not about behavior modification, amen?
  • 00:11:22.391 --> 00:11:25.728
  • "so with the help of the holy spirit,
  • 00:11:25.728 --> 00:11:27.062
  • I lost the desire to smoke pot, drink,
  • 00:11:27.062 --> 00:11:29.565
  • And watch pornography.
  • 00:11:29.565 --> 00:11:31.367
  • Today, i'm delivered from my shameful addictions
  • 00:11:31.367 --> 00:11:34.003
  • And have joined a local church where i can enjoy
  • 00:11:34.003 --> 00:11:36.405
  • The company of fellow believers.
  • 00:11:36.405 --> 00:11:38.340
  • I earnestly seek god's will for me and ask for him
  • 00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:41.744
  • To complete the plan he has started in me.
  • 00:11:41.744 --> 00:11:43.913
  • Thank you, pastor prince, for your teachings
  • 00:11:43.913 --> 00:11:45.648
  • Because they have changed my life
  • 00:11:45.648 --> 00:11:47.216
  • And i can become the person god wants me to be.
  • 00:11:47.216 --> 00:11:50.286
  • Now i wish to serve god
  • 00:11:50.286 --> 00:11:51.887
  • And be an instrument of his grace and love.
  • 00:11:51.887 --> 00:11:54.824
  • God bless you for reminding me how much god loves me."
  • 00:11:54.824 --> 00:11:57.493
  • Isn't it amazing?
  • 00:11:57.493 --> 00:11:59.528
  • Such effects of my so-called "erroneous"
  • 00:11:59.528 --> 00:12:04.233
  • And "heretical" teachings.
  • 00:12:04.233 --> 00:12:07.336
  • To god be the glory, hallelujah.
  • 00:12:07.336 --> 00:12:10.706
  • I'm going to show you right now
  • 00:12:10.706 --> 00:12:12.041
  • The new covenant way of walking with god.
  • 00:12:12.041 --> 00:12:14.143
  • It's in galatians 5, verse 16: "i say then: walk in the spirit,
  • 00:12:14.143 --> 00:12:19.181
  • And you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh," amen.
  • 00:12:19.181 --> 00:12:23.452
  • So here, we have a more intimate walk.
  • 00:12:23.452 --> 00:12:25.921
  • Walk in the spirit.
  • 00:12:25.921 --> 00:12:29.024
  • Now, how do you walk in the spirit?
  • 00:12:29.024 --> 00:12:30.359
  • You're not walking with the spirit.
  • 00:12:30.359 --> 00:12:31.961
  • You're not walking before the spirit.
  • 00:12:31.961 --> 00:12:33.996
  • That will indicate that the holy spirit
  • 00:12:33.996 --> 00:12:35.431
  • Is outside you.
  • 00:12:35.431 --> 00:12:36.765
  • And don't forget, the holy spirit is god himself,
  • 00:12:36.765 --> 00:12:40.669
  • Amen, the--one of the godhead, amen?
  • 00:12:40.669 --> 00:12:44.273
  • The divine person of the godhead,
  • 00:12:44.273 --> 00:12:46.775
  • The holy spirit.
  • 00:12:46.775 --> 00:12:48.143
  • And here, he's not talking about you walking with the holy spirit
  • 00:12:48.143 --> 00:12:51.814
  • Or walking before the holy spirit,
  • 00:12:51.814 --> 00:12:53.849
  • Which all indicates he's still outside you,
  • 00:12:53.849 --> 00:12:56.151
  • But you're walking in the holy spirit.
  • 00:12:56.151 --> 00:12:58.821
  • Hallelujah, you're walking in the spirit.
  • 00:12:58.821 --> 00:13:01.323
  • That is a very intimate term
  • 00:13:01.323 --> 00:13:03.826
  • Because, you know, the real you is actually a spirit.
  • 00:13:03.826 --> 00:13:06.829
  • God made you in his image.
  • 00:13:06.829 --> 00:13:08.831
  • God made you a spirit. you are a tripartite being.
  • 00:13:08.831 --> 00:13:12.234
  • You are a spirit being, you have a soul, amen.
  • 00:13:12.234 --> 00:13:16.071
  • Your soul is not the real you, okay?
  • 00:13:16.071 --> 00:13:19.275
  • The real you is a spirit. and you have a soul, right?
  • 00:13:19.275 --> 00:13:23.479
  • I am a spirit. i have a soul.
  • 00:13:23.479 --> 00:13:26.115
  • And the soul is the mind, the will, the emotions.
  • 00:13:26.115 --> 00:13:29.518
  • All that is a soul realm.
  • 00:13:29.518 --> 00:13:31.820
  • And you live in a body.
  • 00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:33.822
  • So there are three parts to you.
  • 00:13:33.822 --> 00:13:35.157
  • You're also tripartite, amen?
  • 00:13:35.157 --> 00:13:37.593
  • There are three parts to you.
  • 00:13:37.593 --> 00:13:38.928
  • So you are a spirit, you have a soul,
  • 00:13:38.928 --> 00:13:40.663
  • You live in a body.
  • 00:13:40.663 --> 00:13:42.364
  • Guess what, it's a picture of the tabernacle.
  • 00:13:42.364 --> 00:13:45.401
  • The old tabernacle of moses,
  • 00:13:45.401 --> 00:13:47.403
  • You find there are three parts to it.
  • 00:13:47.403 --> 00:13:48.837
  • The outer court, which is your body, right?
  • 00:13:48.837 --> 00:13:52.041
  • The holy place, which is your soul.
  • 00:13:52.041 --> 00:13:54.043
  • And then the holy of holies
  • 00:13:54.043 --> 00:13:55.377
  • Is where the ark of the covenant is
  • 00:13:55.377 --> 00:13:56.712
  • And god's presence and shekinah glory is there.
  • 00:13:56.712 --> 00:13:59.682
  • That's the spirit. it's the most intimate part.
  • 00:13:59.682 --> 00:14:01.984
  • That's why when you pray in the spirit,
  • 00:14:01.984 --> 00:14:03.619
  • Howbeit in the spirit?
  • 00:14:03.619 --> 00:14:04.954
  • When you pray in tongues, you are praying in the spirit.
  • 00:14:04.954 --> 00:14:07.389
  • By the way, anyone that tells you
  • 00:14:07.389 --> 00:14:09.058
  • You are praying in the spirit means
  • 00:14:09.058 --> 00:14:10.392
  • You are praying with more gumption
  • 00:14:10.392 --> 00:14:11.727
  • And more power and more passion,
  • 00:14:11.727 --> 00:14:13.996
  • That's not praying in the spirit.
  • 00:14:13.996 --> 00:14:15.497
  • Bible must define bible, okay?
  • 00:14:15.497 --> 00:14:18.100
  • Paul says, "i'll sing with the spirit
  • 00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:20.102
  • And i'll sing with the understanding."
  • 00:14:20.102 --> 00:14:21.437
  • That means what?
  • 00:14:21.437 --> 00:14:22.771
  • I'll pray in tongues and i'll pray with understanding.
  • 00:14:22.771 --> 00:14:24.740
  • I'll sing in the spirit
  • 00:14:24.740 --> 00:14:26.875
  • And i'll sing with the understanding, okay?
  • 00:14:26.875 --> 00:14:29.378
  • So, he is saying very clearly that "wherefore,
  • 00:14:29.378 --> 00:14:31.947
  • If i pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays."
  • 00:14:31.947 --> 00:14:35.851
  • Paul says, "if i pray in an unknown tongue,
  • 00:14:35.851 --> 00:14:37.486
  • My spirit prays.
  • 00:14:37.486 --> 00:14:39.922
  • The most intimate part of me is praying."
  • 00:14:39.922 --> 00:14:42.691
  • And that's what the bible says
  • 00:14:42.691 --> 00:14:44.493
  • About praying in the holy spirit.
  • 00:14:44.493 --> 00:14:45.828
  • In jude, it says praying in the holy spirit,
  • 00:14:45.828 --> 00:14:47.796
  • It goes together with building up yourselves
  • 00:14:47.796 --> 00:14:50.065
  • On your most holy faith.
  • 00:14:50.065 --> 00:14:53.068
  • Praying in the holy spirit.
  • 00:14:53.068 --> 00:14:56.005
  • Building up yourself on what?
  • 00:14:56.005 --> 00:14:57.773
  • Your most holy faith.
  • 00:14:57.773 --> 00:14:59.475
  • Why is that most holy?
  • 00:14:59.475 --> 00:15:01.677
  • Many years ago, i was meditating on this
  • 00:15:01.677 --> 00:15:03.445
  • And the lord began to show me
  • 00:15:03.445 --> 00:15:04.780
  • That when you pray in the spirit,
  • 00:15:04.780 --> 00:15:06.115
  • Because the next verse says, "pray in the holy spirit."
  • 00:15:06.115 --> 00:15:08.050
  • When you pray in the holy spirit,
  • 00:15:08.050 --> 00:15:09.385
  • You are praying from your most holy place,
  • 00:15:09.385 --> 00:15:12.287
  • The holy of holies, most holy means holy of holies.
  • 00:15:12.287 --> 00:15:14.723
  • You are the temple of god.
  • 00:15:14.723 --> 00:15:16.291
  • Where is--which part of you is the holy of holies?
  • 00:15:16.291 --> 00:15:18.260
  • Your spirit man, so when you pray in tongues,
  • 00:15:18.260 --> 00:15:20.963
  • That prayer does not come from your head.
  • 00:15:20.963 --> 00:15:23.499
  • That's why, you know, you pray in understanding,
  • 00:15:23.499 --> 00:15:25.534
  • Pray in english, your native language
  • 00:15:25.534 --> 00:15:27.102
  • For a while and you stop.
  • 00:15:27.102 --> 00:15:28.470
  • You run out of thoughts, you run out of words,
  • 00:15:28.470 --> 00:15:31.340
  • You run out of ideas to talk with god.
  • 00:15:31.340 --> 00:15:33.275
  • But when you pray in the spirit, you can do it all day long,
  • 00:15:33.275 --> 00:15:35.844
  • Even in undertones.
  • 00:15:35.844 --> 00:15:37.346
  • You are praying from your most holy place.
  • 00:15:37.346 --> 00:15:40.582
  • That's why it's called building yourself
  • 00:15:40.582 --> 00:15:43.018
  • On your most holy faith.
  • 00:15:43.018 --> 00:15:45.387
  • The holy of holies, most holy.
  • 00:15:45.387 --> 00:15:48.090
  • Praying in the holy spirit, hallelujah.
  • 00:15:48.090 --> 00:15:52.261
  • And it says: "keep yourself in the love of god."
  • 00:15:52.261 --> 00:15:54.163
  • You'll keep yourself in the place
  • 00:15:54.163 --> 00:15:55.998
  • Where the love of god and all he provides for you
  • 00:15:55.998 --> 00:15:57.933
  • Will be there, praise god, thank you, jesus.
  • 00:15:57.933 --> 00:16:00.202
  • You keep yourself in the consciousness
  • 00:16:00.202 --> 00:16:02.104
  • Of the love of god by praying in the holy spirit.
  • 00:16:02.104 --> 00:16:04.473
  • So it's sandwiched by building your most holy faith,
  • 00:16:04.473 --> 00:16:07.976
  • Keeping yourself in the love of god.
  • 00:16:07.976 --> 00:16:09.678
  • And what is in between?
  • 00:16:09.678 --> 00:16:11.013
  • Praying in the holy spirit, hallelujah.
  • 00:16:11.013 --> 00:16:13.449
  • Friend, this is a gift that is
  • 00:16:13.449 --> 00:16:17.052
  • One of the least esteemed in the body of christ.
  • 00:16:17.052 --> 00:16:19.822
  • Yet when i study the scriptures with no prejudice
  • 00:16:19.822 --> 00:16:23.826
  • And i just look at the scriptures as it is,
  • 00:16:23.826 --> 00:16:25.594
  • I find that the bible emphasizes a lot on praying in tongues.
  • 00:16:25.594 --> 00:16:30.799
  • Now, you might say, well, in 1 corinthians 14,
  • 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:32.868
  • Paul is saying that prophecy is better.
  • 00:16:32.868 --> 00:16:34.970
  • No, no. paul is not saying that.
  • 00:16:34.970 --> 00:16:36.572
  • Paul is saying that in the church,
  • 00:16:36.572 --> 00:16:38.774
  • Prophecy is better than someone speaking out in tongues
  • 00:16:38.774 --> 00:16:41.877
  • Because the others do not know what he's saying.
  • 00:16:41.877 --> 00:16:44.079
  • But when you're speaking in tongues,
  • 00:16:44.079 --> 00:16:45.414
  • You're not talking to others.
  • 00:16:45.414 --> 00:16:46.949
  • There is a gift called the gift of tongues.
  • 00:16:46.949 --> 00:16:48.617
  • Not everyone can speak the gift of tongues
  • 00:16:48.617 --> 00:16:51.019
  • Like the gift of the word of wisdom,
  • 00:16:51.019 --> 00:16:52.354
  • The gift of healings, the gift of working of miracles.
  • 00:16:52.354 --> 00:16:54.556
  • All that are gifts of the holy spirit.
  • 00:16:54.556 --> 00:16:56.024
  • But that's not the--and one of them is the gift of tongues.
  • 00:16:56.024 --> 00:16:58.794
  • One of the nine gifts of the holy spirit
  • 00:16:58.794 --> 00:17:00.129
  • Is the gift of tongues.
  • 00:17:00.129 --> 00:17:01.463
  • That is not what we are referring to.
  • 00:17:01.463 --> 00:17:02.865
  • When you receive the baptism of the holy spirit,
  • 00:17:02.865 --> 00:17:04.766
  • You speak in tongues, that's your prayer language.
  • 00:17:04.766 --> 00:17:07.169
  • The gift of tongues must be interpreted.
  • 00:17:07.169 --> 00:17:10.005
  • And some people have it, some people don't.
  • 00:17:10.005 --> 00:17:11.874
  • There are so many of you
  • 00:17:11.874 --> 00:17:13.208
  • Who are not baptized in the holy spirit, my friend.
  • 00:17:13.208 --> 00:17:15.277
  • Oh, listen, listen.
  • 00:17:15.277 --> 00:17:18.714
  • You know, this david wilkerson
  • 00:17:18.714 --> 00:17:21.850
  • Who worked among the drug addicts
  • 00:17:21.850 --> 00:17:23.218
  • And the gangs of new york in the '50s.
  • 00:17:23.218 --> 00:17:26.788
  • And you know, this is what he said.
  • 00:17:26.788 --> 00:17:28.790
  • He said that he tried his best
  • 00:17:28.790 --> 00:17:30.325
  • To get them to kick the drug habit
  • 00:17:30.325 --> 00:17:32.127
  • And addiction and all that.
  • 00:17:32.127 --> 00:17:33.662
  • But, you know, they always fall back to drug addiction
  • 00:17:33.662 --> 00:17:36.532
  • Until he baptized them in the holy spirit.
  • 00:17:36.532 --> 00:17:40.068
  • So it's not enough just to be saved,
  • 00:17:40.068 --> 00:17:41.403
  • But when they're baptized in the holy spirit,
  • 00:17:41.403 --> 00:17:42.804
  • They were delivered from drug addiction,
  • 00:17:42.804 --> 00:17:44.339
  • Just like that, with no--cold turkey.
  • 00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:46.842
  • Same thing for jackie pullinger
  • 00:17:46.842 --> 00:17:48.777
  • In her book, "chasing the dragon."
  • 00:17:48.777 --> 00:17:50.312
  • Jackie pullinger is an amazing lady
  • 00:17:50.312 --> 00:17:52.714
  • Who went to hong kong,
  • 00:17:52.714 --> 00:17:54.917
  • To the area where the gangs
  • 00:17:54.917 --> 00:17:57.719
  • And the pimps and the prostitutes
  • 00:17:57.719 --> 00:17:59.788
  • And drug addicts are in hong kong during the '60s.
  • 00:17:59.788 --> 00:18:06.228
  • And she said that when she was there,
  • 00:18:06.228 --> 00:18:08.764
  • All by herself, she had to learn the language, speak cantonese,
  • 00:18:08.764 --> 00:18:11.366
  • Learn cantonese and work among the gangs and all that.
  • 00:18:11.366 --> 00:18:14.236
  • But you know what, she was baptized in the spirit
  • 00:18:14.236 --> 00:18:15.737
  • And the only thing that sustained her
  • 00:18:15.737 --> 00:18:17.139
  • Was she kept on praying in the spirit.
  • 00:18:17.139 --> 00:18:18.674
  • She kept on praying in the spirit.
  • 00:18:18.674 --> 00:18:20.776
  • And then she noticed when when she prayed for others,
  • 00:18:20.776 --> 00:18:23.946
  • The people who are drug addicts,
  • 00:18:23.946 --> 00:18:26.415
  • They can't break-- they can't kick the habit.
  • 00:18:26.415 --> 00:18:27.749
  • Even after they're saved, they received christ,
  • 00:18:27.749 --> 00:18:29.084
  • They still can't break the habit.
  • 00:18:29.084 --> 00:18:30.419
  • But when they were baptized in the holy spirit,
  • 00:18:30.419 --> 00:18:32.554
  • She noticed the same thing that david wilkerson noticed.
  • 00:18:32.554 --> 00:18:36.458
  • She noticed that they all
  • 00:18:36.458 --> 00:18:38.627
  • Just broke free from the addiction
  • 00:18:38.627 --> 00:18:40.729
  • Without any cold turkey, hallelujah.
  • 00:18:40.729 --> 00:18:44.433
  • There is something here that the church has missed.
  • 00:18:44.433 --> 00:18:46.835
  • The church has despised the gift of tongues, amen,
  • 00:18:46.835 --> 00:18:50.072
  • The prayer language of the holy spirit.
  • 00:18:50.072 --> 00:18:51.573
  • And yet jesus talked about it, paul majored on it.
  • 00:18:51.573 --> 00:18:54.910
  • And we have misinterpreted what paul said.
  • 00:18:54.910 --> 00:18:57.179
  • I think the enemy is behind this.
  • 00:18:57.179 --> 00:18:58.780
  • The devil is trying to take away this powerful ingredient
  • 00:18:58.780 --> 00:19:02.050
  • From the body of christ.
  • 00:19:02.050 --> 00:19:03.385
  • It's the missing ingredient
  • 00:19:03.385 --> 00:19:05.053
  • That the book of acts was full of.
  • 00:19:05.053 --> 00:19:07.856
  • So friend, right now,
  • 00:19:07.856 --> 00:19:09.191
  • If you've never been baptized in the holy spirit,
  • 00:19:09.191 --> 00:19:10.926
  • There's a whole lot of you
  • 00:19:10.926 --> 00:19:12.294
  • Who have joined us this past years and all that,
  • 00:19:12.294 --> 00:19:14.830
  • And you have still not baptized in the holy spirit.
  • 00:19:14.830 --> 00:19:17.432
  • You need to, amen?
  • 00:19:17.432 --> 00:19:18.767
  • And it's not hard.
  • 00:19:18.767 --> 00:19:20.102
  • It's a gift to be received, amen?
  • 00:19:20.102 --> 00:19:22.304
  • And it's not dependent on you.
  • 00:19:22.304 --> 00:19:24.072
  • It's dependent on the fact jesus has been glorified.
  • 00:19:24.072 --> 00:19:26.208
  • Like that verse i said just now, the spirit was not yet given
  • 00:19:26.208 --> 00:19:29.378
  • Because jesus was not yet glorified.
  • 00:19:29.378 --> 00:19:31.546
  • But jesus has been glorified.
  • 00:19:31.546 --> 00:19:33.315
  • So friends, stand to your feet right now,
  • 00:19:33.315 --> 00:19:34.916
  • Wherever you are, amen.
  • 00:19:34.916 --> 00:19:36.718
  • Do it right now. stand to your feet.
  • 00:19:36.718 --> 00:19:38.587
  • And in the name of the lord jesus christ,
  • 00:19:38.587 --> 00:19:41.123
  • Pray this prayer with me right now.
  • 00:19:41.123 --> 00:19:42.457
  • Say: "father, i thank you for the gift
  • 00:19:42.457 --> 00:19:46.128
  • Of the wonderful holy spirit.
  • 00:19:46.128 --> 00:19:48.463
  • Lord jesus, right now, baptize me with the holy spirit,
  • 00:19:48.463 --> 00:19:54.803
  • With speaking in tongues, right now in jesus's name."
  • 00:19:54.803 --> 00:19:58.373
  • And friend, right now
  • 00:19:58.373 --> 00:20:00.108
  • In the name of the lord jesus christ,
  • 00:20:00.108 --> 00:20:02.477
  • Be filled with the holy spirit
  • 00:20:02.477 --> 00:20:05.480
  • In the name of the lord jesus christ.
  • 00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.450
  • Now begin to speak in tongues right now.
  • 00:20:08.450 --> 00:20:10.385
  • Go ahead, amen.
  • 00:20:10.385 --> 00:20:11.720
  • Start speaking in tongues.
  • 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.055
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:20:13.055 --> 00:20:15.223
  • Even if you have one word, [speaking in tongues],
  • 00:20:15.223 --> 00:20:18.093
  • Say it out, amen.
  • 00:20:18.093 --> 00:20:19.494
  • The holy spirit will not force you to say something.
  • 00:20:19.494 --> 00:20:21.830
  • That will be an evil spirit. god's word doesn't force, amen?
  • 00:20:21.830 --> 00:20:24.800
  • When you hear that word, speak it out.
  • 00:20:24.800 --> 00:20:26.301
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:20:26.301 --> 00:20:28.203
  • Go ahead.
  • 00:20:28.203 --> 00:20:29.538
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:20:29.538 --> 00:20:38.647
  • Go on, just pray in the spirit, amen?
  • 00:20:38.647 --> 00:20:40.882
  • Don't wait to be taken over.
  • 00:20:40.882 --> 00:20:43.185
  • That's an evil spirit.
  • 00:20:43.185 --> 00:20:44.820
  • That's how he operates.
  • 00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:46.154
  • The holy spirit wants your cooperation.
  • 00:20:46.154 --> 00:20:47.723
  • The bible says: "god fills you
  • 00:20:47.723 --> 00:20:49.324
  • As the spirit gave them utterance."
  • 00:20:49.324 --> 00:20:51.426
  • That means you need to utter it, amen?
  • 00:20:51.426 --> 00:20:53.395
  • The holy spirit gives you the utterance
  • 00:20:53.395 --> 00:20:54.730
  • But you need to utter it, amen?
  • 00:20:54.730 --> 00:20:56.598
  • So go ahead.
  • 00:20:56.598 --> 00:20:57.933
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:20:57.933 --> 00:20:59.267
  • You have received it in jesus's name.
  • 00:20:59.267 --> 00:21:00.836
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:21:00.836 --> 00:21:02.971
  • Yeah, you find that some people find
  • 00:21:02.971 --> 00:21:05.073
  • Their tongue getting a bit heavy
  • 00:21:05.073 --> 00:21:06.575
  • Or they find that their mouth is full,
  • 00:21:06.575 --> 00:21:08.377
  • Don't clamp your mouth, open up, amen?
  • 00:21:08.377 --> 00:21:11.079
  • Yeah, that's right. praise the lord.
  • 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:12.414
  • Thank you, jesus.
  • 00:21:12.414 --> 00:21:13.749
  • Pray in the spirit in jesus's name.
  • 00:21:13.749 --> 00:21:15.083
  • You can even sing in the spirit, right now.
  • 00:21:15.083 --> 00:21:17.085
  • [singing in tongues]
  • 00:21:17.085 --> 00:21:19.788
  • I like to do this in the shower.
  • 00:21:19.788 --> 00:21:21.123
  • [singing in tongues]
  • 00:21:21.123 --> 00:21:25.560
  • When i'm feeling stressed especially,
  • 00:21:25.560 --> 00:21:26.895
  • I like to sing in the spirit.
  • 00:21:26.895 --> 00:21:28.230
  • [singing in tongues]
  • 00:21:28.230 --> 00:21:36.304
  • And notice you can stop whenever you want to
  • 00:21:36.304 --> 00:21:39.141
  • And you can start again if you want to.
  • 00:21:39.141 --> 00:21:40.509
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:21:40.509 --> 00:21:43.211
  • That's the true gift because god always works with cooperation.
  • 00:21:43.211 --> 00:21:47.883
  • He doesn't force you like a demon possessing someone.
  • 00:21:47.883 --> 00:21:51.520
  • That's forcing. no, you can start again.
  • 00:21:51.520 --> 00:21:53.755
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:21:53.755 --> 00:21:56.758
  • I encourage you to pray lots, amen?
  • 00:21:56.758 --> 00:22:00.028
  • Pray for a protracted period of time.
  • 00:22:00.028 --> 00:22:02.531
  • Pray until your mouth is dry.
  • 00:22:02.531 --> 00:22:05.567
  • You don't have to pray out loud. you can pray undertones.
  • 00:22:05.567 --> 00:22:07.669
  • When people are around, you can pray undertones.
  • 00:22:07.669 --> 00:22:09.938
  • The bible says: "let him speak to himself and to god," amen?
  • 00:22:09.938 --> 00:22:12.474
  • That's speaking undertones, amen.
  • 00:22:12.474 --> 00:22:14.409
  • But i'm telling you, i don't know how long,
  • 00:22:14.409 --> 00:22:16.645
  • But sometimes for me,
  • 00:22:16.645 --> 00:22:18.113
  • Five days of praying in the spirit,
  • 00:22:18.113 --> 00:22:20.315
  • I had the breakthrough
  • 00:22:20.315 --> 00:22:21.650
  • That nowadays when i pray in the spirit for one day,
  • 00:22:21.650 --> 00:22:25.053
  • I had the breakthrough that used to take me five days.
  • 00:22:25.053 --> 00:22:27.556
  • So i'm not saying that your experience
  • 00:22:27.556 --> 00:22:29.458
  • Will be the same as mine, i'm just saying,
  • 00:22:29.458 --> 00:22:30.992
  • Keep on praying in the spirit.
  • 00:22:30.992 --> 00:22:32.494
  • And know all the benefits.
  • 00:22:32.494 --> 00:22:33.829
  • When you're praying in the spirit, keep the spirit
  • 00:22:33.829 --> 00:22:35.564
  • In your mouth, amen, praise the lord.
  • 00:22:35.564 --> 00:22:37.999
  • God says the more you pray in the spirit,
  • 00:22:37.999 --> 00:22:39.768
  • It will affect your children.
  • 00:22:39.768 --> 00:22:42.204
  • It will affect your children's children, amen.
  • 00:22:42.204 --> 00:22:45.507
  • It will lift up the banner against the evil spirit
  • 00:22:45.507 --> 00:22:48.777
  • That's trying to bring this flood of destruction
  • 00:22:48.777 --> 00:22:54.015
  • Upon the world.
  • 00:22:54.015 --> 00:22:55.350
  • Don't forget that, amen?
  • 00:22:55.350 --> 00:22:56.685
  • When you pray in the spirit, your health will not fail.
  • 00:22:56.685 --> 00:23:00.155
  • You'll always be green, always be young.
  • 00:23:00.155 --> 00:23:02.891
  • When you pray in the spirit, that's satisfying
  • 00:23:02.891 --> 00:23:04.759
  • Your mouth with good.
  • 00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:06.261
  • I believe that's the good.
  • 00:23:06.261 --> 00:23:07.829
  • It's not food, it's the good of god, amen,
  • 00:23:07.829 --> 00:23:10.198
  • The gift of praying in the spirit.
  • 00:23:10.198 --> 00:23:11.533
  • "satisfy your mouth with good so that your youth is renewed
  • 00:23:11.533 --> 00:23:14.236
  • Like the eagle's," amen, amen.
  • 00:23:14.236 --> 00:23:16.238
  • "and whatever you do will prosper," amen?
