  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:09.828
  • Joseph prince: there's a sentence in this world.
  • 00:00:11.930 --> 00:00:13.665
  • Ever since adam sinned, the sentence was what?
  • 00:00:13.665 --> 00:00:16.401
  • Death.
  • 00:00:16.401 --> 00:00:17.536
  • But before death is what?
  • 00:00:17.536 --> 00:00:19.304
  • Weakness.
  • 00:00:19.304 --> 00:00:21.039
  • Sickness.
  • 00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:22.374
  • Death.
  • 00:00:22.374 --> 00:00:23.442
  • So that's the sentence of the world.
  • 00:00:23.442 --> 00:00:25.377
  • Now, we are not to suffer that sentence.
  • 00:00:25.377 --> 00:00:27.913
  • The reason we don't understand that god has given us
  • 00:00:27.913 --> 00:00:30.549
  • A provision, that we don't have to suffer
  • 00:00:30.549 --> 00:00:32.451
  • Like the world.
  • 00:00:32.451 --> 00:00:33.685
  • The world has what?
  • 00:00:33.685 --> 00:00:34.887
  • Sickness, dying prematurely, but i've given you a provision,
  • 00:00:34.887 --> 00:00:39.057
  • God is saying.
  • 00:00:39.057 --> 00:00:40.125
  • The body and the blood of my son.
  • 00:00:40.125 --> 00:00:41.527
  • If you will partake, you will escape the condemnation,
  • 00:00:41.527 --> 00:00:44.263
  • The sentence of this world.
  • 00:00:44.263 --> 00:00:45.731
  • Male announcer: the world tells you to eat clean,
  • 00:00:45.797 --> 00:00:47.666
  • To cut carbs, to perfect your diet plan.
  • 00:00:47.666 --> 00:00:50.736

  • And now here's pastor joseph prince with today's program.
  • 00:01:18.497 --> 00:01:22.034
  • Joseph prince: so we are continuing our series on the
  • 00:01:22.100 --> 00:01:23.902
  • Grain, the wine, and the oil.
  • 00:01:23.902 --> 00:01:25.904
  • And this is what i want to show you.
  • 00:01:25.904 --> 00:01:28.440
  • Look at matthew chapter 26 first.
  • 00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:31.009
  • In matthew 26, it says here, "then he took the cup,
  • 00:01:31.009 --> 00:01:33.545
  • And gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying,
  • 00:01:33.545 --> 00:01:36.081
  • "drink from it all of you, for this is my blood
  • 00:01:36.081 --> 00:01:38.817
  • Of the new covenant which is shed for many
  • 00:01:38.817 --> 00:01:41.486
  • For the remission of sins."
  • 00:01:41.486 --> 00:01:42.754
  • So, drinking preceded what he said,
  • 00:01:42.754 --> 00:01:48.427
  • Or did he let them drink first then he says,
  • 00:01:48.427 --> 00:01:51.363
  • "this is my blood"?
  • 00:01:51.363 --> 00:01:52.698
  • So over here, we are not told the sequence.
  • 00:01:52.698 --> 00:01:54.733
  • Did the people drink first?
  • 00:01:55.701 --> 00:01:56.835
  • Did the disciples drink first of the cup
  • 00:01:56.835 --> 00:01:59.071
  • And then he says, "this cup is the new covenant"?
  • 00:01:59.071 --> 00:02:03.141
  • Or did he say, "this cup is the new covenant,"
  • 00:02:03.141 --> 00:02:06.144
  • Then they drank?
  • 00:02:06.144 --> 00:02:08.513
  • Now this is important, okay?
  • 00:02:08.513 --> 00:02:10.983
  • We are learning how to partake.
  • 00:02:10.983 --> 00:02:13.151
  • And partake according to the phrase, worthily, as well.
  • 00:02:13.151 --> 00:02:17.022
  • So here, he says, now--by the way, for the remission of sins,
  • 00:02:17.022 --> 00:02:21.927
  • One way to partake worthily is you partake knowing
  • 00:02:21.927 --> 00:02:25.964
  • Your sins have been remitted because of the blood.
  • 00:02:25.964 --> 00:02:30.535
  • Now that's honoring what jesus has done.
  • 00:02:30.535 --> 00:02:34.039
  • Anything less, if you are sin-conscious, looking for sin,
  • 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.174
  • For sin, for sin, when jesus himself said
  • 00:02:36.174 --> 00:02:38.977
  • That drinking this cup is for the remission of sins.
  • 00:02:38.977 --> 00:02:42.281
  • Not at that time your sins are remitted, but it's to illustrate
  • 00:02:42.281 --> 00:02:45.784
  • That his blood is the reason why your sins
  • 00:02:45.784 --> 00:02:49.187
  • Are no more in your life.
  • 00:02:49.187 --> 00:02:51.256
  • Not that you cannot sin, not that you are, you know,
  • 00:02:51.256 --> 00:02:54.359
  • You are now completely sinless.
  • 00:02:54.359 --> 00:02:56.628
  • No, no, no.
  • 00:02:56.628 --> 00:02:57.763
  • But god is not reckoning you based on unforgiven sin.
  • 00:02:57.763 --> 00:03:01.099
  • Your sins are all remitted.
  • 00:03:01.099 --> 00:03:02.601
  • They're all forgiven.
  • 00:03:02.601 --> 00:03:03.902
  • And when you partake of the lord's supper,
  • 00:03:03.902 --> 00:03:05.637
  • You should be conscious of that and not conscious of your sin
  • 00:03:05.637 --> 00:03:08.640
  • Still being in you.
  • 00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:10.409
  • That you got to look for it.
  • 00:03:10.409 --> 00:03:12.311
  • That is judging yourself worthily.
  • 00:03:12.311 --> 00:03:15.514
  • Okay, so here, the question again that we are asking is,
  • 00:03:15.514 --> 00:03:19.418
  • Did he say--did he give them the bread and the cup
  • 00:03:19.418 --> 00:03:23.155
  • And they partook?
  • 00:03:23.155 --> 00:03:24.189
  • Then he says, "this is my body, this is the cup
  • 00:03:24.189 --> 00:03:27.125
  • Of the new covenant."
  • 00:03:27.125 --> 00:03:28.927
  • Now we look at-- because why am i saying this?
  • 00:03:28.927 --> 00:03:31.997
  • It's crucial.
  • 00:03:31.997 --> 00:03:33.065
  • The order is crucial.
  • 00:03:33.065 --> 00:03:34.399
  • I'll tell you why.
  • 00:03:34.399 --> 00:03:35.600
  • There is a place where it's a symbol
  • 00:03:35.600 --> 00:03:37.169
  • And there's a place where it becomes real.
  • 00:03:37.169 --> 00:03:40.038
  • So let's go to mark.
  • 00:03:40.038 --> 00:03:41.773
  • Mark has the order.
  • 00:03:41.773 --> 00:03:43.241
  • Look at this, "and as they were eating,
  • 00:03:43.241 --> 00:03:44.943
  • Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it,
  • 00:03:44.943 --> 00:03:46.445
  • And gave it to them and said, 'take, eat; this is my body.'
  • 00:03:46.445 --> 00:03:48.547
  • Then he took the cup, and when he had given thanks
  • 00:03:48.547 --> 00:03:50.782
  • He gave it to them, and they all drank from it."
  • 00:03:50.782 --> 00:03:53.151
  • And he said to them, uh-huh, do you hear that?
  • 00:03:53.151 --> 00:03:58.223
  • "he took the cup, when he had given thanks
  • 00:03:58.223 --> 00:03:59.925
  • He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
  • 00:03:59.925 --> 00:04:04.129
  • And he said to them, 'this is my blood of the new covenant,
  • 00:04:04.129 --> 00:04:07.699
  • Which is shed for many.'"
  • 00:04:07.699 --> 00:04:09.334
  • So which one happened first?
  • 00:04:09.334 --> 00:04:10.802
  • His statement about the cup or their drinking?
  • 00:04:10.802 --> 00:04:13.839
  • They drank.
  • 00:04:16.274 --> 00:04:17.542
  • So the thing is this: as long as you hold the bread
  • 00:04:17.542 --> 00:04:20.178
  • In your hand, okay?
  • 00:04:20.178 --> 00:04:22.114
  • If you hold the bread in your hand, is there bread anywhere?
  • 00:04:22.114 --> 00:04:25.016
  • Never mind.
  • 00:04:25.016 --> 00:04:26.051
  • If you have, just for illustration purposes.
  • 00:04:26.051 --> 00:04:28.553
  • So, it's still natural, okay?
  • 00:04:28.553 --> 00:04:33.058
  • You understand?
  • 00:04:33.058 --> 00:04:34.126
  • So it's okay when we're handling it, it's okay.
  • 00:04:34.126 --> 00:04:35.627
  • It's common.
  • 00:04:35.627 --> 00:04:36.661
  • It's normal, okay?
  • 00:04:36.661 --> 00:04:38.230
  • When does it become uncommon, holy?
  • 00:04:38.230 --> 00:04:40.565
  • Now when you come before the lord, by the way,
  • 00:04:40.565 --> 00:04:43.468
  • You don't need a priest.
  • 00:04:43.468 --> 00:04:45.303
  • You don't need a pastor.
  • 00:04:45.303 --> 00:04:47.305
  • You don't need me.
  • 00:04:47.305 --> 00:04:49.007
  • They broke bread from house to house.
  • 00:04:49.007 --> 00:04:53.178
  • We are all priests.
  • 00:04:51.276 --> 00:04:55.547
  • Amen.
  • 00:04:55.547 --> 00:04:56.548
  • We are all royal priesthood.
  • 00:04:56.548 --> 00:04:58.316
  • Amen.
  • 00:04:58.316 --> 00:05:00.085
  • So when you open up, right?
  • 00:05:00.085 --> 00:05:02.120
  • You take the bread.
  • 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:03.989
  • It's still bread.
  • 00:05:03.989 --> 00:05:05.457
  • When you come before the lord and you meditate and
  • 00:05:05.457 --> 00:05:08.927
  • You thank the lord and you say, "lord, i discern your body
  • 00:05:08.927 --> 00:05:12.731
  • That on that tree you bore away all my sins,
  • 00:05:12.731 --> 00:05:15.734
  • All my diseases, all my infirmities,
  • 00:05:15.734 --> 00:05:18.170
  • All my pains."
  • 00:05:18.170 --> 00:05:19.871
  • You can include "all my aging."
  • 00:05:19.871 --> 00:05:23.175
  • Because from aging comes all kinds of sickness, you know.
  • 00:05:23.175 --> 00:05:25.477
  • All right?
  • 00:05:25.477 --> 00:05:26.611
  • And in heaven, everyone is young, right?
  • 00:05:26.611 --> 00:05:28.613
  • So you can put it down there.
  • 00:05:28.613 --> 00:05:30.048
  • And "lord, i thank you.
  • 00:05:30.048 --> 00:05:31.082
  • By your stripe, i am healed."
  • 00:05:31.082 --> 00:05:33.218
  • And you partake.
  • 00:05:33.218 --> 00:05:35.454
  • Now watch this.
  • 00:05:35.454 --> 00:05:36.521
  • When you partake, when does it become the bread--
  • 00:05:36.521 --> 00:05:43.528
  • The body of the lord?
  • 00:05:43.528 --> 00:05:44.830
  • When it goes in.
  • 00:05:44.830 --> 00:05:46.631
  • After you partake, it's the body of the lord.
  • 00:05:46.631 --> 00:05:51.336
  • You got it?
  • 00:05:51.336 --> 00:05:53.505
  • That's what i believe.
  • 00:05:53.505 --> 00:05:55.207
  • I believe that the language of jesus in john 6 and on
  • 00:05:55.207 --> 00:05:58.677
  • Cannot just make it just purely symbolic.
  • 00:05:58.677 --> 00:06:02.814
  • Cannot.
  • 00:06:02.814 --> 00:06:04.816
  • Are you listening, all right?
  • 00:06:04.816 --> 00:06:06.551
  • As long as it's outside, it is still--it was after
  • 00:06:06.551 --> 00:06:10.021
  • They partook.
  • 00:06:10.021 --> 00:06:11.122
  • It says, "this cup is the new covenant in my blood.
  • 00:06:11.122 --> 00:06:13.191
  • You just drank it."
  • 00:06:13.191 --> 00:06:14.593
  • Right?
  • 00:06:14.593 --> 00:06:15.760
  • "this is my body broken for you," after they ate it.
  • 00:06:15.760 --> 00:06:20.232
  • You understand?
  • 00:06:20.232 --> 00:06:22.167
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:06:22.167 --> 00:06:23.335
  • So we got that settled.
  • 00:06:23.335 --> 00:06:24.536
  • By the way, holy communion is the substance of the shadow
  • 00:06:24.536 --> 00:06:29.741
  • Of the old testament.
  • 00:06:29.741 --> 00:06:31.209
  • In the old testament, we have a shadow.
  • 00:06:31.209 --> 00:06:33.445
  • On the night of the passover, god told israel to put the blood
  • 00:06:33.445 --> 00:06:36.181
  • On the door posts and on the lintel, right?
  • 00:06:36.181 --> 00:06:38.984
  • Making the cross.
  • 00:06:38.984 --> 00:06:40.452
  • Can you see it?
  • 00:06:40.452 --> 00:06:41.720
  • And god said, "eat the roasted lamb, roasted in fire, and do
  • 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:47.325
  • Not eat it softened with water."
  • 00:06:47.325 --> 00:06:49.327
  • Do not wash water down the person of our lord jesus.
  • 00:06:49.327 --> 00:06:52.998
  • Don't water it down.
  • 00:06:52.998 --> 00:06:54.099
  • Don't just say that he is a good man,
  • 00:06:54.099 --> 00:06:56.468
  • But he's not roasted in fire.
  • 00:06:56.468 --> 00:06:58.436
  • Don't eat him not roasted in fire.
  • 00:06:58.436 --> 00:07:01.006
  • Roasted in fire means see him at the cross,
  • 00:07:01.006 --> 00:07:02.807
  • Suffering your judgment and my judgment because
  • 00:07:02.807 --> 00:07:05.076
  • He was carrying our sins.
  • 00:07:05.076 --> 00:07:06.778
  • That's how you partake worthily.
  • 00:07:06.778 --> 00:07:08.747
  • So they were partaking of the roasted lamb.
  • 00:07:08.747 --> 00:07:10.482
  • They ate the head.
  • 00:07:10.482 --> 00:07:11.583
  • They ate the entrails.
  • 00:07:11.583 --> 00:07:12.617
  • They ate the feet.
  • 00:07:12.617 --> 00:07:13.952
  • And whatever they are suffering from, if they're suffering
  • 00:07:13.952 --> 00:07:15.887
  • From dementia or alzheimer, they partake even of the brain.
  • 00:07:15.887 --> 00:07:19.291
  • While the judgment was going on outside,
  • 00:07:19.291 --> 00:07:21.993
  • The angel of death was passing by and he looks at the house.
  • 00:07:21.993 --> 00:07:25.897
  • Okay?
  • 00:07:25.897 --> 00:07:26.965
  • Now listen carefully.
  • 00:07:26.965 --> 00:07:28.033
  • God is not requiring great faith to eat, only hunger.
  • 00:07:28.033 --> 00:07:31.803
  • Amen.
  • 00:07:31.803 --> 00:07:33.004
  • God doesn't need great faith for you to put on the blood.
  • 00:07:33.004 --> 00:07:36.474
  • Just obedience.
  • 00:07:36.474 --> 00:07:38.476
  • Amen.
  • 00:07:38.476 --> 00:07:39.744
  • And it doesn't matter how afraid they are, trembling, all right?
  • 00:07:39.744 --> 00:07:42.914
  • When they know that at that hour, at the midnight hour, the
  • 00:07:42.914 --> 00:07:45.417
  • Angel of death is passing by-- if they are struggling
  • 00:07:45.417 --> 00:07:48.086
  • And some of them are really, really, you know, crying,
  • 00:07:48.086 --> 00:07:51.523
  • Bawling in the house, but as long as the blood
  • 00:07:51.523 --> 00:07:54.059
  • Is there, they are safe.
  • 00:07:54.059 --> 00:07:56.561
  • They just wasted all their emotions.
  • 00:07:56.561 --> 00:07:58.863
  • They just wasted all their fears.
  • 00:07:58.863 --> 00:08:01.232
  • Am i right?
  • 00:08:01.232 --> 00:08:02.334
  • Because their security lies not in their faith.
  • 00:08:02.334 --> 00:08:04.336
  • It lies in the blood.
  • 00:08:04.336 --> 00:08:06.871
  • Am i right?
  • 00:08:06.871 --> 00:08:07.872
  • So another house, an egyptian house.
  • 00:08:07.872 --> 00:08:10.408
  • "don't worry, nothing will happen to us.
  • 00:08:10.408 --> 00:08:11.943
  • All this moses fake news.
  • 00:08:11.943 --> 00:08:15.914
  • All right?
  • 00:08:15.914 --> 00:08:16.948
  • Don't worry about it.
  • 00:08:16.948 --> 00:08:17.983
  • Nothing is going to happen to you."
  • 00:08:17.983 --> 00:08:19.818
  • So for him, all right, there's no blood
  • 00:08:19.818 --> 00:08:21.953
  • On the doorposts.
  • 00:08:21.953 --> 00:08:23.088
  • Nothing.
  • 00:08:23.088 --> 00:08:24.155
  • But they are very confident.
  • 00:08:24.155 --> 00:08:25.290
  • You might even say they look like people of faith.
  • 00:08:25.290 --> 00:08:27.559
  • What's going to happen that night?
  • 00:08:27.559 --> 00:08:30.095
  • The moment it strikes midnight, the son drops dead.
  • 00:08:30.095 --> 00:08:34.399
  • The firstborn.
  • 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:35.934
  • Amen.
  • 00:08:35.934 --> 00:08:37.002
  • It's not your confidence.
  • 00:08:37.002 --> 00:08:38.103
  • It's not your great faith.
  • 00:08:38.103 --> 00:08:39.237
  • It's not even positive thinking.
  • 00:08:39.237 --> 00:08:42.140
  • It is the blood or the lack of it.
  • 00:08:42.140 --> 00:08:44.509
  • Amen.
  • 00:08:44.509 --> 00:08:45.744
  • Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins.
  • 00:08:45.744 --> 00:08:47.312
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:08:47.312 --> 00:08:48.380
  • So put this in the communion.
  • 00:08:48.380 --> 00:08:50.081
  • Whether you fully understand or you don't fully understand,
  • 00:08:50.081 --> 00:08:51.850
  • It doesn't really matter.
  • 00:08:51.850 --> 00:08:53.351
  • Jesus died for you.
  • 00:08:53.351 --> 00:08:55.020
  • His blood has been shed.
  • 00:08:55.020 --> 00:08:56.521
  • What you need to do is be worthy--not sorry,
  • 00:08:56.521 --> 00:08:59.524
  • Partake worthily.
  • 00:08:59.524 --> 00:09:01.626
  • Not try to earn it, not try to deserve it.
  • 00:09:01.626 --> 00:09:04.229
  • Just know that he did it for me.
  • 00:09:04.229 --> 00:09:06.131
  • That's all you need to do.
  • 00:09:06.131 --> 00:09:08.566
  • Amen.
  • 00:09:08.566 --> 00:09:10.235
  • So watch this, 1 corinthians 11.
  • 00:09:10.235 --> 00:09:12.704
  • Paul says this: "for i received from the lord that which
  • 00:09:12.704 --> 00:09:15.807
  • I also delivered to you: that the lord jesus on the same night
  • 00:09:15.807 --> 00:09:19.277
  • In which he was betrayed took bread;
  • 00:09:19.277 --> 00:09:21.980
  • And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said,
  • 00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:24.049
  • "take, eat: this is my body which is broken for you;
  • 00:09:24.049 --> 00:09:26.584
  • This do in remembrance of me."
  • 00:09:26.584 --> 00:09:28.853
  • Now listen carefully.
  • 00:09:28.853 --> 00:09:31.556
  • This is direct revelation from the lord.
  • 00:09:31.623 --> 00:09:34.793
  • He didn't learn this from matthew.
  • 00:09:34.793 --> 00:09:36.861
  • He didn't learn this from bartholomew.
  • 00:09:36.861 --> 00:09:38.963
  • He didn't learn this from thomas.
  • 00:09:38.963 --> 00:09:40.231
  • They were all there, in the upper room.
  • 00:09:40.231 --> 00:09:41.399
  • He could have gone to them and asked them, right?
  • 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.202
  • But he received straight from the lord.
  • 00:09:44.202 --> 00:09:46.438
  • "for i received from the lord."
  • 00:09:46.438 --> 00:09:48.006
  • What is it about the communion that is so important
  • 00:09:48.006 --> 00:09:52.077
  • That the lord jesus himself, whether it's in vision form
  • 00:09:52.077 --> 00:09:55.914
  • Or jesus came to him directly and taught him,
  • 00:09:55.914 --> 00:09:58.516
  • He received from the lord directly this revelation.
  • 00:09:58.516 --> 00:10:02.020
  • And it was from paul that we learn about health
  • 00:10:02.020 --> 00:10:06.858
  • And healing being available and how neglecting
  • 00:10:06.858 --> 00:10:10.929
  • This provision from god is causing people
  • 00:10:10.929 --> 00:10:14.032
  • To be weak, sickly, and dying prematurely.
  • 00:10:14.032 --> 00:10:19.270
  • So we have this idea that in churches today,
  • 00:10:19.270 --> 00:10:23.241
  • If you partake the lord's supper and you have sin in your life,
  • 00:10:23.241 --> 00:10:27.178
  • Then you might be sick.
  • 00:10:27.178 --> 00:10:29.481
  • It's a judgment.
  • 00:10:29.481 --> 00:10:30.815
  • Because there's sin in your life,
  • 00:10:30.815 --> 00:10:32.117
  • You might even die prematurely.
  • 00:10:32.117 --> 00:10:34.119
  • And they got it from this passage and the whole thing
  • 00:10:34.119 --> 00:10:35.754
  • Is misconstrued.
  • 00:10:35.754 --> 00:10:36.988
  • You know, i did my best not to go into the theological part and
  • 00:10:36.988 --> 00:10:39.891
  • All that but the moment i did that, something happened to me.
  • 00:10:39.891 --> 00:10:42.994
  • I felt the lord saying, "no, you teach that."
  • 00:10:42.994 --> 00:10:46.364
  • So i'm going to teach that as much as i can today.
  • 00:10:46.364 --> 00:10:48.833
  • So first of all, it's a direct revelation from the lord.
  • 00:10:48.833 --> 00:10:51.836
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:10:51.836 --> 00:10:53.171
  • Okay.
  • 00:10:53.171 --> 00:10:54.239
  • Number two, the lord watches over this provision.
  • 00:10:54.239 --> 00:10:56.908
  • You know, for some reason, people say, "you know,
  • 00:10:56.908 --> 00:10:58.877
  • Pastor prince, it's just a piece of cracker
  • 00:10:58.877 --> 00:11:00.445
  • And a piece of juice and all that.
  • 00:11:00.445 --> 00:11:01.679
  • What can it do?"
  • 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:02.747
  • Well, you know what happened when the woman said,
  • 00:11:02.747 --> 00:11:07.986
  • "yes, master," when she was looking
  • 00:11:07.986 --> 00:11:09.888
  • For the lord's healing for her daughter who was
  • 00:11:09.888 --> 00:11:12.423
  • Demon-possessed, and she says that even the crumbs that fall
  • 00:11:12.423 --> 00:11:16.528
  • From the master's table, even the crumbs, and the lord says,
  • 00:11:16.528 --> 00:11:20.331
  • "for this saying, go thy way.
  • 00:11:20.331 --> 00:11:22.100
  • The devil's gone out of your daughter."
  • 00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:24.435
  • Even a crumb can drive a demon out.
  • 00:11:24.435 --> 00:11:28.339
  • Can drive the cancer out.
  • 00:11:28.339 --> 00:11:30.675
  • Because the body of jesus is a symbol of the body of jesus.
  • 00:11:30.675 --> 00:11:33.311
  • Hey, folks, we are not like the puppies under the table.
  • 00:11:33.311 --> 00:11:38.817
  • We are sitting on the table.
  • 00:11:38.817 --> 00:11:41.486
  • We don't have crumbs.
  • 00:11:41.486 --> 00:11:42.587
  • We have the whole bread.
  • 00:11:42.587 --> 00:11:44.622
  • She's just saying, even the crumbs that the puppies eat.
  • 00:11:44.622 --> 00:11:47.425
  • Even puppies eat the crumbs.
  • 00:11:47.425 --> 00:11:49.561
  • The puppies are gentiles.
  • 00:11:49.561 --> 00:11:50.662
  • We're not that level.
  • 00:11:50.662 --> 00:11:51.763
  • We're not gentiles.
  • 00:11:51.763 --> 00:11:55.066
  • We are the church of christ.
  • 00:11:55.066 --> 00:11:58.169
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:11:58.169 --> 00:11:59.971
  • So here we go.
  • 00:11:59.971 --> 00:12:02.207
  • Paul says, "guys, you're missing out."
  • 00:12:02.207 --> 00:12:04.709
  • And that's the reason we don't understand that god has given us
  • 00:12:04.709 --> 00:12:07.412
  • A provision, all right, that we don't have to suffer
  • 00:12:07.412 --> 00:12:11.449
  • Like the world.
  • 00:12:11.449 --> 00:12:12.750
  • The world has what?
  • 00:12:12.750 --> 00:12:13.952
  • Sickness, dying prematurely, but i've given you a provision,
  • 00:12:13.952 --> 00:12:18.089
  • God is saying.
  • 00:12:18.089 --> 00:12:19.157
  • The body and the blood of my son.
  • 00:12:19.157 --> 00:12:22.193
  • If you will partake, you will escape the condemnation,
  • 00:12:22.193 --> 00:12:25.463
  • The sentence of this world.
  • 00:12:25.463 --> 00:12:26.664
  • See, there's a sentence in this world.
  • 00:12:26.664 --> 00:12:29.067
  • Ever since adam sinned, the sentence was what?
  • 00:12:29.067 --> 00:12:31.836
  • Death.
  • 00:12:31.836 --> 00:12:32.904
  • But before death is what?
  • 00:12:32.904 --> 00:12:34.772
  • Weakness.
  • 00:12:34.772 --> 00:12:36.407
  • Sickness.
  • 00:12:36.407 --> 00:12:37.809
  • Death.
  • 00:12:37.809 --> 00:12:38.810
  • So that's the sentence of the world.
  • 00:12:38.810 --> 00:12:40.778
  • Now, we are not to suffer that sentence.
  • 00:12:40.778 --> 00:12:43.915
  • Now listen carefully.
  • 00:12:43.915 --> 00:12:45.984
  • Christians do get sick.
  • 00:12:45.984 --> 00:12:48.887
  • At times, i get sick.
  • 00:12:48.887 --> 00:12:53.825
  • But i know, when i get sick, that this is not god's will
  • 00:12:53.825 --> 00:12:57.662
  • For me, okay?
  • 00:12:57.662 --> 00:13:01.366
  • Compared to people who are sick and thinking,
  • 00:13:01.366 --> 00:13:03.468
  • "what is god teaching me?
  • 00:13:03.468 --> 00:13:06.504
  • Because god gave me this sickness."
  • 00:13:06.504 --> 00:13:08.006
  • Now that's totally a different ball game.
  • 00:13:08.006 --> 00:13:11.175
  • Okay?
  • 00:13:11.175 --> 00:13:12.343
  • So here, we must be clear that there was no sickness,
  • 00:13:12.343 --> 00:13:15.480
  • There was not even death until adam sinned.
  • 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:20.051
  • So now it's not part of god's plan.
  • 00:13:20.051 --> 00:13:22.954
  • If it's part of god's plan, you'll see death
  • 00:13:22.954 --> 00:13:25.590
  • Even before adam sinned.
  • 00:13:25.590 --> 00:13:28.092
  • Adam would have been burying some animals.
  • 00:13:28.092 --> 00:13:33.031
  • No.
  • 00:13:33.031 --> 00:13:34.132
  • Death only came in because of sin.
  • 00:13:34.132 --> 00:13:37.435
  • That tells us the way god hates sin, god hates death.
  • 00:13:37.435 --> 00:13:41.906
  • The way god hates sin, god hates sickness.
  • 00:13:41.906 --> 00:13:44.776
  • And that's why the number one thing jesus did in his ministry
  • 00:13:44.776 --> 00:13:47.745
  • Besides preaching is that he went around
  • 00:13:47.745 --> 00:13:50.014
  • Healing all that were sick.
  • 00:13:50.014 --> 00:13:52.817
  • You never find one time that jesus looks at someone and says,
  • 00:13:52.817 --> 00:13:55.820
  • "you're too healthy, come here, receive a bit of leprosy.
  • 00:13:55.820 --> 00:13:58.923
  • I don't know why i'm doing this but there's a reason god
  • 00:13:58.923 --> 00:14:00.792
  • Is doing this to you."
  • 00:14:00.792 --> 00:14:02.427
  • Never, never, never, never, never.
  • 00:14:02.427 --> 00:14:04.996
  • You know, he is always providing.
  • 00:14:04.996 --> 00:14:06.898
  • He never says that, "these people are hungry
  • 00:14:06.898 --> 00:14:08.199
  • For three days but you know what?
  • 00:14:08.199 --> 00:14:09.701
  • There are people who fast for seven days.
  • 00:14:09.701 --> 00:14:12.637
  • Ask daniel, all right?
  • 00:14:12.637 --> 00:14:14.238
  • It's time for them to learn discipline."
  • 00:14:14.238 --> 00:14:15.940
  • No, he fed them.
  • 00:14:15.940 --> 00:14:17.108
  • They were hungry. he fed them.
  • 00:14:17.108 --> 00:14:18.609
  • So does god want to supply?
  • 00:14:18.609 --> 00:14:19.644
  • Yes.
  • 00:14:19.644 --> 00:14:20.845
  • And the supply only stops when they stop.
  • 00:14:20.845 --> 00:14:24.749
  • The bible says, "as much as they would."
  • 00:14:24.749 --> 00:14:26.651
  • He gave them as much as they would, not as god would.
  • 00:14:26.651 --> 00:14:30.288
  • So god wants you to be blessed.
  • 00:14:30.288 --> 00:14:32.190
  • He wants you to have provisions.
  • 00:14:32.190 --> 00:14:34.025
  • Yes.
  • 00:14:34.025 --> 00:14:35.193
  • He wants you to be healthy.
  • 00:14:35.193 --> 00:14:36.194
  • Yes.
  • 00:14:36.194 --> 00:14:37.428
  • You know, straight away, "oh, that's a prosperity gospel!"
  • 00:14:37.428 --> 00:14:39.597
  • Oh yeah, okay, okay.
  • 00:14:39.597 --> 00:14:40.832
  • Praise god.
  • 00:14:40.832 --> 00:14:41.866
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:14:41.866 --> 00:14:42.867
  • I'm ignorant.
  • 00:14:42.867 --> 00:14:45.303
  • Amen.
  • 00:14:45.303 --> 00:14:46.337
  • All i know is that the gospel is called
  • 00:14:46.337 --> 00:14:47.672
  • The gospel of the grace of god.
  • 00:14:47.672 --> 00:14:49.841
  • But i'm so ignorant that i think that the gospel of the grace
  • 00:14:49.841 --> 00:14:52.577
  • Of god from history, even from history,
  • 00:14:52.577 --> 00:14:55.113
  • Wherever he has gone, it has brought civilization.
  • 00:14:55.113 --> 00:14:58.416
  • Women are respected and honored.
  • 00:14:58.416 --> 00:15:01.919
  • Education has been the stronghold of christians
  • 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:06.557
  • In every country where the gospel has gone to.
  • 00:15:06.557 --> 00:15:10.261
  • Amen.
  • 00:15:10.261 --> 00:15:11.262
  • Children are given a chance to be educated.
  • 00:15:11.262 --> 00:15:15.233
  • So, what has happened is that instead of partaking
  • 00:15:15.233 --> 00:15:18.903
  • Of the provisions-- "pastor prince, just eating,
  • 00:15:18.903 --> 00:15:22.306
  • It's such a simple act."
  • 00:15:22.306 --> 00:15:24.008
  • A simple act brought the entire fall of man.
  • 00:15:24.008 --> 00:15:27.245
  • It was a simple act.
  • 00:15:27.245 --> 00:15:28.646
  • It was a simple act that brought--every time
  • 00:15:28.646 --> 00:15:30.915
  • You cry tears because of someone's death,
  • 00:15:30.915 --> 00:15:33.584
  • A relative's death, or whatever, just remember, a simple act.
  • 00:15:33.584 --> 00:15:37.822
  • It was a simple act that caused everything happening.
  • 00:15:37.822 --> 00:15:40.091
  • All the curse came in because of a simple act.
  • 00:15:40.091 --> 00:15:42.693
  • Doesn't it stand to godly reason then that god ordained, you can
  • 00:15:42.693 --> 00:15:46.731
  • Eat your way out of the curse of everything that began
  • 00:15:46.731 --> 00:15:52.470
  • With this simple act of eating.
  • 00:15:52.470 --> 00:15:54.605
  • They can look at the tree, no problem, right?
  • 00:15:54.605 --> 00:15:58.509
  • They can even touch the tree, no problem.
  • 00:15:58.509 --> 00:16:02.647
  • If, as it cannot touch it, god never says cannot touch it.
  • 00:16:02.647 --> 00:16:07.185
  • But don't eat it.
  • 00:16:07.185 --> 00:16:09.020
  • Eating is partaking.
  • 00:16:09.020 --> 00:16:10.755
  • So you are the same.
  • 00:16:10.755 --> 00:16:12.290
  • When you partake, don't just listen about the communion.
  • 00:16:12.290 --> 00:16:14.892
  • It's when you partake.
  • 00:16:14.892 --> 00:16:18.729
  • Amen.
  • 00:16:18.729 --> 00:16:19.730
  • So, let's go on, praise god.
  • 00:16:19.730 --> 00:16:21.732
  • Verse 25, "in the same manner he also took the cup and said,
  • 00:16:21.732 --> 00:16:24.936
  • This cup is the new covenant."
  • 00:16:24.936 --> 00:16:26.304
  • All right.
  • 00:16:26.304 --> 00:16:27.305
  • "do this in remembrance of me."
  • 00:16:27.305 --> 00:16:29.173
  • Don't forget, all this is given by the lord jesus direct.
  • 00:16:29.173 --> 00:16:31.275
  • "for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,
  • 00:16:31.275 --> 00:16:33.277
  • You proclaim the lord's death till he comes."
  • 00:16:33.277 --> 00:16:35.913
  • Proclaim the lord's death.
  • 00:16:35.913 --> 00:16:37.448
  • Proclaiming the lord's death.
  • 00:16:37.448 --> 00:16:38.850
  • Something like proclaiming the lord's death.
  • 00:16:38.850 --> 00:16:40.985
  • Now we come to this exciting part.
  • 00:16:40.985 --> 00:16:42.887
  • "for as often," as often, not as seldom.
  • 00:16:42.887 --> 00:16:45.223
  • Verse 27, drop down.
  • 00:16:45.223 --> 00:16:46.791
  • "therefore, whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the
  • 00:16:46.791 --> 00:16:48.860
  • Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body
  • 00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:51.129
  • And blood of the lord."
  • 00:16:51.129 --> 00:16:52.630
  • Okay, notice, focus, "in an unworthy manner."
  • 00:16:52.630 --> 00:16:56.067
  • So every time i come sin-conscious, it's unworthy
  • 00:16:56.067 --> 00:16:58.703
  • Because he said, "the cup is for the remission of sins"
  • 00:16:58.703 --> 00:17:01.506
  • And you are acting like sin is not remitted.
  • 00:17:01.506 --> 00:17:04.675
  • It's unworthy.
  • 00:17:04.675 --> 00:17:06.077
  • Amen.
  • 00:17:06.077 --> 00:17:07.245
  • "let a man examine himself and so let him eat of the bread
  • 00:17:07.245 --> 00:17:09.347
  • And drink of the cup."
  • 00:17:09.347 --> 00:17:10.648
  • The way it's taught today is like this.
  • 00:17:10.648 --> 00:17:12.150
  • "let a man examine himself for sin."
  • 00:17:12.150 --> 00:17:16.387
  • Right?
  • 00:17:16.387 --> 00:17:17.555
  • It doesn't say, let a man examine himself and abstain from
  • 00:17:17.555 --> 00:17:19.757
  • The bread and push away the cup.
  • 00:17:19.757 --> 00:17:22.727
  • That's what i used to do after i examined myself.
  • 00:17:22.727 --> 00:17:25.463
  • No more faith to partake.
  • 00:17:25.463 --> 00:17:28.266
  • I was so scared.
  • 00:17:28.266 --> 00:17:29.400
  • But the word "examine" is the greek word, "dokimazo."
  • 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.670
  • Dokimazo is the word "examine for good things."
  • 00:17:32.670 --> 00:17:35.806
  • Look at this, dokimazo.
  • 00:17:35.806 --> 00:17:37.008
  • Definition of vine's expository.
  • 00:17:37.008 --> 00:17:39.777
  • Vine is a great scholar.
  • 00:17:39.777 --> 00:17:41.312
  • He said this of dokimazo.
  • 00:17:41.312 --> 00:17:43.347
  • To prove with a view to approving, not a view
  • 00:17:43.347 --> 00:17:47.818
  • Of something negative.
  • 00:17:47.818 --> 00:17:49.921
  • It's to prove something good.
  • 00:17:49.921 --> 00:17:52.256
  • To prove with a view to approval.
  • 00:17:52.256 --> 00:17:56.627
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:17:56.627 --> 00:17:57.795
  • So this idea of examining yourself for sin doesn't fit in
  • 00:17:57.795 --> 00:18:00.531
  • With dokimazo.
  • 00:18:00.531 --> 00:18:04.769
  • Okay, go back to the passage again.
  • 00:18:04.769 --> 00:18:07.638
  • "let a man examine a proof himself."
  • 00:18:07.638 --> 00:18:11.008
  • Amen.
  • 00:18:11.008 --> 00:18:12.043
  • Yes.
  • 00:18:12.043 --> 00:18:13.177
  • I know the purpose of the lord's supper.
  • 00:18:13.177 --> 00:18:15.112
  • I know his body was broken for my sins and for my diseases.
  • 00:18:15.112 --> 00:18:19.217
  • Amen.
  • 00:18:19.217 --> 00:18:20.218
  • I partake receiving his health.
  • 00:18:20.218 --> 00:18:21.686
  • I know i'm examining myself.
  • 00:18:21.686 --> 00:18:23.321
  • I'm proving what is approved.
  • 00:18:23.321 --> 00:18:26.557
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:18:26.557 --> 00:18:28.159
  • Okay, "so let him eat of the bread and drink
  • 00:18:28.159 --> 00:18:30.194
  • Of the cup."
  • 00:18:30.194 --> 00:18:31.462
  • Doesn't say, "examine yourself and then abstain from the cup."
  • 00:18:31.462 --> 00:18:34.799
  • Abstain from the cup.
  • 00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:36.133
  • No!
  • 00:18:36.133 --> 00:18:37.201
  • That's what's happening in the church.
  • 00:18:37.201 --> 00:18:38.569
  • Drop down.
  • 00:18:38.569 --> 00:18:39.904
  • "for he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner,
  • 00:18:39.904 --> 00:18:42.206
  • Eats and drinks judgment to himself,
  • 00:18:42.206 --> 00:18:44.108
  • Not discerning the lord's body."
  • 00:18:44.108 --> 00:18:45.810
  • Now, drinks judgment to himself.
  • 00:18:45.810 --> 00:18:48.112
  • This is the part where it gets a bit of people concerned.
  • 00:18:48.112 --> 00:18:51.048
  • It drinks judgment to himself.
  • 00:18:51.048 --> 00:18:52.083
  • "well, pastor prince, you know, there you go.
  • 00:18:52.083 --> 00:18:54.051
  • It drinks judgment."
  • 00:18:54.051 --> 00:18:55.119
  • Now let me just tell you this.
  • 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:56.187
  • The word "judgment" here is krima.
  • 00:18:56.187 --> 00:18:57.855
  • Let me just tell you this.
  • 00:18:57.855 --> 00:18:58.889
  • Judgment is there, all right?
  • 00:18:58.889 --> 00:19:01.559
  • You can also judge yourself.
  • 00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:04.495
  • Am i right?
  • 00:19:04.495 --> 00:19:05.796
  • So who is the one that's partaking unworthily?
  • 00:19:05.796 --> 00:19:07.932
  • "he's the one who is eating judging himself.
  • 00:19:07.932 --> 00:19:09.967
  • He's eating judgment to himself."
  • 00:19:10.801 --> 00:19:12.870
  • The word "to himself" is the reflexive noun in the greek.
  • 00:19:12.870 --> 00:19:17.608
  • Reflexive noun, i told you a bit theological, right?
  • 00:19:17.608 --> 00:19:20.878
  • Reflexive noun means the person is doing it to himself, not god.
  • 00:19:20.878 --> 00:19:23.648
  • Reflexive noun is like john is doing to john.
  • 00:19:27.418 --> 00:19:30.988
  • Mark is doing to mark.
  • 00:19:30.988 --> 00:19:32.323
  • Peter is doing to peter.
  • 00:19:32.323 --> 00:19:33.557
  • Nobody outside is doing it to him.
  • 00:19:33.557 --> 00:19:37.328
  • In other words, he's sin-conscious.
  • 00:19:37.328 --> 00:19:40.231
  • He's eating, right?
  • 00:19:40.231 --> 00:19:42.433
  • Sin-conscious.
  • 00:19:42.433 --> 00:19:43.901
  • He's still feeling judgment.
  • 00:19:43.901 --> 00:19:46.637
  • He's eating judgment.
  • 00:19:46.637 --> 00:19:48.239
  • He's not eating justification.
  • 00:19:48.239 --> 00:19:52.109
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:19:52.109 --> 00:19:53.611
  • "to himself" means, over there you check it out, in the greek
  • 00:19:53.611 --> 00:19:56.881
  • It's a reflexive noun.
  • 00:19:56.881 --> 00:19:58.316
  • It's something he's doing to himself.
  • 00:19:58.316 --> 00:20:00.184
  • So if you partake with judgment to yourself, if you are
  • 00:20:00.184 --> 00:20:03.721
  • Self-condemned, you partake.
  • 00:20:03.721 --> 00:20:05.056
  • That's partaking unworthily.
  • 00:20:05.056 --> 00:20:06.957
  • Because the cup that you hold is proof that your sins
  • 00:20:06.957 --> 00:20:10.361
  • Have been put away.
  • 00:20:10.361 --> 00:20:12.496
  • Yet you are seeing your sins on yourself.
  • 00:20:12.496 --> 00:20:15.366
  • You are drinking judgment to yourself, not judgment from god.
  • 00:20:15.366 --> 00:20:22.506
  • Okay.
  • 00:20:22.506 --> 00:20:23.574
  • For this reason, not discerning the lord's body.
  • 00:20:23.574 --> 00:20:26.677
  • All right, not discerning the lord's body.
  • 00:20:26.677 --> 00:20:28.846
  • So another feature is this, when you're condemning yourself,
  • 00:20:28.846 --> 00:20:32.016
  • You're not discerning the lord's body.
  • 00:20:32.016 --> 00:20:33.517
  • The lord's body was broken, listen, listen.
  • 00:20:33.517 --> 00:20:35.720
  • Was broken so that judgment will not be part of your life.
  • 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:39.390
  • Judgment is over and gone.
  • 00:20:39.390 --> 00:20:42.593
  • He dispensed a judgment of god, right?
  • 00:20:42.593 --> 00:20:44.995
  • So also the body, another judgment on mankind in terms of
  • 00:20:44.995 --> 00:20:51.202
  • Our body is sickness and death, fasting yourself.
  • 00:20:51.202 --> 00:20:55.373
  • So we have discerned the lord's body.
  • 00:20:55.373 --> 00:20:57.074
  • Why was his body broken?
  • 00:20:57.074 --> 00:20:58.142
  • You must make a difference.
  • 00:20:58.142 --> 00:21:00.144
  • Now we come to the greek word.
  • 00:21:00.144 --> 00:21:01.779
  • Not discerning the lord's body.
  • 00:21:01.779 --> 00:21:03.381
  • It is the word, not discerning is the word
  • 00:21:03.381 --> 00:21:05.182
  • "diakrino."
  • 00:21:05.182 --> 00:21:06.584
  • And diakrino is this in thayer's definition.
  • 00:21:06.584 --> 00:21:11.389
  • Show them thayer's definition.
  • 00:21:11.389 --> 00:21:12.590
  • To separate, say separate.
  • 00:21:12.590 --> 00:21:15.159
  • Make a distinction.
  • 00:21:15.159 --> 00:21:17.128
  • Discriminate, to prefer.
  • 00:21:17.128 --> 00:21:19.363
  • Now look at me, look at me.
  • 00:21:20.097 --> 00:21:21.332
  • Do you know something?
  • 00:21:21.332 --> 00:21:22.400
  • In mark 11:23, that famous passage says that
  • 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:27.304
  • If you speak to the mountain and you don't doubt
  • 00:21:27.304 --> 00:21:30.574
  • In your heart, and you don't doubt
  • 00:21:30.574 --> 00:21:33.277
  • In your heart, you will do not only
  • 00:21:33.277 --> 00:21:35.112
  • What is done to the fig tree that was cursed,
  • 00:21:35.112 --> 00:21:37.681
  • But the mountain will move.
  • 00:21:37.681 --> 00:21:39.683
  • And the word "doubt not in your heart."
  • 00:21:39.683 --> 00:21:41.952
  • We always teach doubt not means don't doubt.
  • 00:21:41.952 --> 00:21:44.755
  • But actually there's another place where the word "doubt"
  • 00:21:44.755 --> 00:21:46.390
  • Is used.
  • 00:21:46.390 --> 00:21:47.491
  • When peter was walking on the water, then he looked
  • 00:21:47.491 --> 00:21:50.594
  • At the storm and the waves.
  • 00:21:50.594 --> 00:21:52.496
  • Then he sank.
  • 00:21:52.496 --> 00:21:53.564
  • Jesus grabbed hold of him and jesus said this,
  • 00:21:53.564 --> 00:21:55.299
  • "why did you doubt?"
  • 00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:57.101
  • It's a different word from diakrino.
  • 00:21:57.101 --> 00:21:59.637
  • Over there, it is literally doubt.
  • 00:21:59.637 --> 00:22:01.472
  • It is the word "distazo."
  • 00:22:01.472 --> 00:22:03.174
  • In other words, distazo is made of double standing.
  • 00:22:03.174 --> 00:22:06.177
  • Stasis is standing.
  • 00:22:06.177 --> 00:22:07.611
  • Di is double.
  • 00:22:07.611 --> 00:22:08.612
  • Distazo, why did you distazo?
  • 00:22:08.612 --> 00:22:11.048
  • You are believing me, looking at me,
  • 00:22:11.048 --> 00:22:14.518
  • And you're looking at circumstances.
  • 00:22:14.518 --> 00:22:16.020
  • You're looking at me, looking at circumstances.
  • 00:22:16.020 --> 00:22:17.621
  • You have two standing.
  • 00:22:17.621 --> 00:22:18.956
  • Why do you--that's doubt.
  • 00:22:18.956 --> 00:22:20.624
  • But in mark 11:23 he says, "if you diakrino--don't doubt
  • 00:22:20.624 --> 00:22:25.296
  • In your heart."
  • 00:22:25.296 --> 00:22:26.497
  • Don't make a distinction between the cursing of the fig tree.
  • 00:22:26.497 --> 00:22:28.265
  • Maybe people say, "i can curse the fig tree.
  • 00:22:28.265 --> 00:22:30.167
  • It's small.
  • 00:22:30.167 --> 00:22:31.402
  • But moving a mountain, i can't."
  • 00:22:31.402 --> 00:22:33.003
  • Don't make a difference.
  • 00:22:33.003 --> 00:22:39.844
  • Do not diakrino in your heart.
  • 00:22:39.910 --> 00:22:41.479
  • Because diakrino means what?
  • 00:22:41.479 --> 00:22:42.646
  • Separate.
  • 00:22:42.646 --> 00:22:43.714
  • Right below that, it says, doubt.
  • 00:22:43.714 --> 00:22:45.783
  • To be at variance with oneself.
  • 00:22:45.783 --> 00:22:48.085
  • Another revelation there is that krima is judging.
  • 00:22:48.085 --> 00:22:51.222
  • Dia is by means of.
  • 00:22:51.222 --> 00:22:52.389
  • You are judging yourself.
  • 00:22:52.389 --> 00:22:54.391
  • You can't speak to the mountain.
  • 00:22:54.391 --> 00:22:57.695
  • Okay? got it so far?
  • 00:22:57.695 --> 00:22:59.296
  • But the primary use of diakrino is to make a distinction.
  • 00:22:59.296 --> 00:23:02.066
  • So let's go back to the passage again, and it says, "it's not
  • 00:23:02.066 --> 00:23:04.802
  • Discerning the lord's body" means what?
  • 00:23:04.869 --> 00:23:06.003
  • You are not making a distinction.
  • 00:23:06.003 --> 00:23:07.204
  • A lot of people, they take the bread and they
  • 00:23:07.204 --> 00:23:08.706
  • Take the cup and just say, "i take it in communion."
  • 00:23:08.706 --> 00:23:11.075
  • They don't distinguish.
  • 00:23:11.075 --> 00:23:12.376
  • Do you know the blood?
  • 00:23:12.376 --> 00:23:13.544
  • Many people know the blood is for the forgiveness of sins.
  • 00:23:13.544 --> 00:23:17.081
  • Amen.
  • 00:23:17.081 --> 00:23:18.148
  • But they lump both the bread and the cup as one.
  • 00:23:18.148 --> 00:23:23.153
  • No one taught them to distinguish, make a difference
  • 00:23:23.153 --> 00:23:27.892
  • Between the bread, the lord's body,
  • 00:23:27.892 --> 00:23:30.928
  • And the blood, the cup.
  • 00:23:30.928 --> 00:23:35.432
  • So for this reason, i'm not distinguishing.
  • 00:23:35.432 --> 00:23:37.301
  • Not diakrino.
  • 00:23:37.301 --> 00:23:39.270
  • "for this reason, many are weak and sick among you
  • 00:23:39.270 --> 00:23:42.973
  • And fall asleep."
  • 00:23:42.973 --> 00:23:43.974
  • They die prematurely.
  • 00:23:43.974 --> 00:23:45.976
  • Is this god's will?
  • 00:23:45.976 --> 00:23:47.044
  • No.
  • 00:23:47.044 --> 00:23:48.846
  • Amen, i pray that this will encourage you to partake
  • 00:23:48.846 --> 00:23:52.149
  • Of the lord's supper, especially, when you've been
  • 00:23:52.149 --> 00:23:54.018
  • Diagnosed with something.
  • 00:23:54.018 --> 00:23:55.386
  • Hands have been laid on you, but you know what?
  • 00:23:55.386 --> 00:23:57.688
  • Don't give up.
  • 00:23:57.688 --> 00:23:58.689
  • Keep on partaking.
  • 00:23:58.689 --> 00:23:59.924
  • Many a times, the miracles i see through the lord's supper
  • 00:23:59.924 --> 00:24:06.063
  • Has not come instantaneously.
  • 00:24:06.063 --> 00:24:08.299
  • It's come 30-fold, 60-fold, and then 100-fold.
  • 00:24:08.299 --> 00:24:13.470
  • But it will surely come.
  • 00:24:13.470 --> 00:24:15.072

  • Blessed and prepared by you.
  • 00:25:00.584 --> 00:25:03.320
  • Father, cause your angels to be stationed all around them and
  • 00:25:03.320 --> 00:25:06.357
  • Their families to deliver them from harm and evil.
  • 00:25:06.357 --> 00:25:10.394
  • I pray, father, that you'll put them far, far, far from places,
  • 00:25:10.394 --> 00:25:14.031
  • Lord, that will cause evil to happen.
  • 00:25:14.031 --> 00:25:17.201
  • Father, they'll always be at the right place at the right time.
  • 00:25:17.201 --> 00:25:20.137
  • Cause them to enjoy your goodness and your free
  • 00:25:20.137 --> 00:25:22.673

  • Everywhere they go.
  • 00:25:23.874 --> 00:25:25.075
  • Let the presence of the lord be so evident
  • 00:25:25.075 --> 00:25:28.679
  • And that heavenly life, lord, just ooze out of them, father.
  • 00:25:28.679 --> 00:25:32.349
  • Everywhere they go, father.
  • 00:25:32.349 --> 00:25:33.651
  • Everyone they meet, someone will sense
  • 00:25:33.651 --> 00:25:35.919
