  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.820
  • Joseph prince: there's a sentence in this world.
  • 00:00:12.922 --> 00:00:14.657
  • Ever since adam sinned, the sentence was what?
  • 00:00:14.657 --> 00:00:17.393
  • Death.
  • 00:00:17.393 --> 00:00:18.528
  • But before death is what?
  • 00:00:18.528 --> 00:00:20.296
  • Weakness.
  • 00:00:20.296 --> 00:00:22.031
  • Sickness.
  • 00:00:22.031 --> 00:00:23.366
  • Death.
  • 00:00:23.366 --> 00:00:24.434
  • So that's the sentence of the world.
  • 00:00:24.434 --> 00:00:26.369
  • Now, we are not to suffer that sentence.
  • 00:00:26.369 --> 00:00:28.905
  • The reason we don't understand that god has given us
  • 00:00:28.905 --> 00:00:31.541
  • A provision, that we don't have to suffer
  • 00:00:31.541 --> 00:00:33.443
  • Like the world.
  • 00:00:33.443 --> 00:00:34.677
  • The world has what?
  • 00:00:34.677 --> 00:00:35.879
  • Sickness, dying prematurely, but i've given you a provision,
  • 00:00:35.879 --> 00:00:40.049
  • God is saying.
  • 00:00:40.049 --> 00:00:41.117
  • The body and the blood of my son.
  • 00:00:41.117 --> 00:00:42.519
  • If you will partake, you will escape the condemnation,
  • 00:00:42.519 --> 00:00:45.255
  • The sentence of this world.
  • 00:00:45.255 --> 00:00:46.723
  • Male announcer: the world tells you to eat clean,
  • 00:00:46.789 --> 00:00:48.658
  • To cut carbs, to perfect your diet plan.
  • 00:00:48.658 --> 00:00:51.728

  • And now here's pastor joseph prince with today's program.
  • 00:01:19.489 --> 00:01:23.026
  • Joseph prince: so we are continuing our series on the
  • 00:01:23.092 --> 00:01:24.894
  • Grain, the wine, and the oil.
  • 00:01:24.894 --> 00:01:26.896
  • And this is what i want to show you.
  • 00:01:26.896 --> 00:01:29.432
  • Look at matthew chapter 26 first.
  • 00:01:29.432 --> 00:01:32.001
  • In matthew 26, it says here, "then he took the cup,
  • 00:01:32.001 --> 00:01:34.537
  • And gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying,
  • 00:01:34.537 --> 00:01:37.073
  • "drink from it all of you, for this is my blood
  • 00:01:37.073 --> 00:01:39.809
  • Of the new covenant which is shed for many
  • 00:01:39.809 --> 00:01:42.478
  • For the remission of sins."
  • 00:01:42.478 --> 00:01:43.746
  • So, drinking preceded what he said,
  • 00:01:43.746 --> 00:01:49.419
  • Or did he let them drink first then he says,
  • 00:01:49.419 --> 00:01:52.355
  • "this is my blood"?
  • 00:01:52.355 --> 00:01:53.690
  • So over here, we are not told the sequence.
  • 00:01:53.690 --> 00:01:55.725
  • Did the people drink first?
  • 00:01:56.693 --> 00:01:57.827
  • Did the disciples drink first of the cup
  • 00:01:57.827 --> 00:02:00.063
  • And then he says, "this cup is the new covenant"?
  • 00:02:00.063 --> 00:02:04.133
  • Or did he say, "this cup is the new covenant,"
  • 00:02:04.133 --> 00:02:07.136
  • Then they drank?
  • 00:02:07.136 --> 00:02:09.505
  • Now this is important, okay?
  • 00:02:09.505 --> 00:02:11.975
  • We are learning how to partake.
  • 00:02:11.975 --> 00:02:14.143
  • And partake according to the phrase, worthily, as well.
  • 00:02:14.143 --> 00:02:18.014
  • So here, he says, now--by the way, for the remission of sins,
  • 00:02:18.014 --> 00:02:22.919
  • One way to partake worthily is you partake knowing
  • 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.956
  • Your sins have been remitted because of the blood.
  • 00:02:26.956 --> 00:02:31.527
  • Now that's honoring what jesus has done.
  • 00:02:31.527 --> 00:02:35.031
  • Anything less, if you are sin-conscious, looking for sin,
  • 00:02:35.031 --> 00:02:37.166
  • For sin, for sin, when jesus himself said
  • 00:02:37.166 --> 00:02:39.969
  • That drinking this cup is for the remission of sins.
  • 00:02:39.969 --> 00:02:43.273
  • Not at that time your sins are remitted, but it's to illustrate
  • 00:02:43.273 --> 00:02:46.776
  • That his blood is the reason why your sins
  • 00:02:46.776 --> 00:02:50.179
  • Are no more in your life.
  • 00:02:50.179 --> 00:02:52.248
  • Not that you cannot sin, not that you are, you know,
  • 00:02:52.248 --> 00:02:55.351
  • You are now completely sinless.
  • 00:02:55.351 --> 00:02:57.620
  • No, no, no.
  • 00:02:57.620 --> 00:02:58.755
  • But god is not reckoning you based on unforgiven sin.
  • 00:02:58.755 --> 00:03:02.091
  • Your sins are all remitted.
  • 00:03:02.091 --> 00:03:03.593
  • They're all forgiven.
  • 00:03:03.593 --> 00:03:04.894
  • And when you partake of the lord's supper,
  • 00:03:04.894 --> 00:03:06.629
  • You should be conscious of that and not conscious of your sin
  • 00:03:06.629 --> 00:03:09.632
  • Still being in you.
  • 00:03:09.632 --> 00:03:11.401
  • That you got to look for it.
  • 00:03:11.401 --> 00:03:13.303
  • That is judging yourself worthily.
  • 00:03:13.303 --> 00:03:16.506
  • Okay, so here, the question again that we are asking is,
  • 00:03:16.506 --> 00:03:20.410
  • Did he say--did he give them the bread and the cup
  • 00:03:20.410 --> 00:03:24.147
  • And they partook?
  • 00:03:24.147 --> 00:03:25.181
  • Then he says, "this is my body, this is the cup
  • 00:03:25.181 --> 00:03:28.117
  • Of the new covenant."
  • 00:03:28.117 --> 00:03:29.919
  • Now we look at-- because why am i saying this?
  • 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.989
  • It's crucial.
  • 00:03:32.989 --> 00:03:34.057
  • The order is crucial.
  • 00:03:34.057 --> 00:03:35.391
  • I'll tell you why.
  • 00:03:35.391 --> 00:03:36.592
  • There is a place where it's a symbol
  • 00:03:36.592 --> 00:03:38.161
  • And there's a place where it becomes real.
  • 00:03:38.161 --> 00:03:41.030
  • So let's go to mark.
  • 00:03:41.030 --> 00:03:42.765
  • Mark has the order.
  • 00:03:42.765 --> 00:03:44.233
  • Look at this, "and as they were eating,
  • 00:03:44.233 --> 00:03:45.935
  • Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it,
  • 00:03:45.935 --> 00:03:47.437
  • And gave it to them and said, 'take, eat; this is my body.'
  • 00:03:47.437 --> 00:03:49.539
  • Then he took the cup, and when he had given thanks
  • 00:03:49.539 --> 00:03:51.774
  • He gave it to them, and they all drank from it."
  • 00:03:51.774 --> 00:03:54.143
  • And he said to them, uh-huh, do you hear that?
  • 00:03:54.143 --> 00:03:59.215
  • "he took the cup, when he had given thanks
  • 00:03:59.215 --> 00:04:00.917
  • He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
  • 00:04:00.917 --> 00:04:05.121
  • And he said to them, 'this is my blood of the new covenant,
  • 00:04:05.121 --> 00:04:08.691
  • Which is shed for many.'"
  • 00:04:08.691 --> 00:04:10.326
  • So which one happened first?
  • 00:04:10.326 --> 00:04:11.794
  • His statement about the cup or their drinking?
  • 00:04:11.794 --> 00:04:14.831
  • They drank.
  • 00:04:17.266 --> 00:04:18.534
  • So the thing is this: as long as you hold the bread
  • 00:04:18.534 --> 00:04:21.170
  • In your hand, okay?
  • 00:04:21.170 --> 00:04:23.106
  • If you hold the bread in your hand, is there bread anywhere?
  • 00:04:23.106 --> 00:04:26.008
  • Never mind.
  • 00:04:26.008 --> 00:04:27.043
  • If you have, just for illustration purposes.
  • 00:04:27.043 --> 00:04:29.545
  • So, it's still natural, okay?
  • 00:04:29.545 --> 00:04:34.050
  • You understand?
  • 00:04:34.050 --> 00:04:35.118
  • So it's okay when we're handling it, it's okay.
  • 00:04:35.118 --> 00:04:36.619
  • It's common.
  • 00:04:36.619 --> 00:04:37.653
  • It's normal, okay?
  • 00:04:37.653 --> 00:04:39.222
  • When does it become uncommon, holy?
  • 00:04:39.222 --> 00:04:41.557
  • Now when you come before the lord, by the way,
  • 00:04:41.557 --> 00:04:44.460
  • You don't need a priest.
  • 00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:46.295
  • You don't need a pastor.
  • 00:04:46.295 --> 00:04:48.297
  • You don't need me.
  • 00:04:48.297 --> 00:04:49.999
  • They broke bread from house to house.
  • 00:04:49.999 --> 00:04:54.170
  • We are all priests.
  • 00:04:52.268 --> 00:04:56.539
  • Amen.
  • 00:04:56.539 --> 00:04:57.540
  • We are all royal priesthood.
  • 00:04:57.540 --> 00:04:59.308
  • Amen.
  • 00:04:59.308 --> 00:05:01.077
  • So when you open up, right?
  • 00:05:01.077 --> 00:05:03.112
  • You take the bread.
  • 00:05:03.112 --> 00:05:04.981
  • It's still bread.
  • 00:05:04.981 --> 00:05:06.449
  • When you come before the lord and you meditate and
  • 00:05:06.449 --> 00:05:09.919
  • You thank the lord and you say, "lord, i discern your body
  • 00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:13.723
  • That on that tree you bore away all my sins,
  • 00:05:13.723 --> 00:05:16.726
  • All my diseases, all my infirmities,
  • 00:05:16.726 --> 00:05:19.162
  • All my pains."
  • 00:05:19.162 --> 00:05:20.863
  • You can include "all my aging."
  • 00:05:20.863 --> 00:05:24.167
  • Because from aging comes all kinds of sickness, you know.
  • 00:05:24.167 --> 00:05:26.469
  • All right?
  • 00:05:26.469 --> 00:05:27.603
  • And in heaven, everyone is young, right?
  • 00:05:27.603 --> 00:05:29.605
  • So you can put it down there.
  • 00:05:29.605 --> 00:05:31.040
  • And "lord, i thank you.
  • 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:32.074
  • By your stripe, i am healed."
  • 00:05:32.074 --> 00:05:34.210
  • And you partake.
  • 00:05:34.210 --> 00:05:36.446
  • Now watch this.
  • 00:05:36.446 --> 00:05:37.513
  • When you partake, when does it become the bread--
  • 00:05:37.513 --> 00:05:44.520
  • The body of the lord?
  • 00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:45.822
  • When it goes in.
  • 00:05:45.822 --> 00:05:47.623
  • After you partake, it's the body of the lord.
  • 00:05:47.623 --> 00:05:52.328
  • You got it?
  • 00:05:52.328 --> 00:05:54.497
  • That's what i believe.
  • 00:05:54.497 --> 00:05:56.199
  • I believe that the language of jesus in john 6 and on
  • 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.669
  • Cannot just make it just purely symbolic.
  • 00:05:59.669 --> 00:06:03.806
  • Cannot.
  • 00:06:03.806 --> 00:06:05.808
  • Are you listening, all right?
  • 00:06:05.808 --> 00:06:07.543
  • As long as it's outside, it is still--it was after
  • 00:06:07.543 --> 00:06:11.013
  • They partook.
  • 00:06:11.013 --> 00:06:12.114
  • It says, "this cup is the new covenant in my blood.
  • 00:06:12.114 --> 00:06:14.183
  • You just drank it."
  • 00:06:14.183 --> 00:06:15.585
  • Right?
  • 00:06:15.585 --> 00:06:16.752
  • "this is my body broken for you," after they ate it.
  • 00:06:16.752 --> 00:06:21.224
  • You understand?
  • 00:06:21.224 --> 00:06:23.159
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:06:23.159 --> 00:06:24.327
  • So we got that settled.
  • 00:06:24.327 --> 00:06:25.528
  • By the way, holy communion is the substance of the shadow
  • 00:06:25.528 --> 00:06:30.733
  • Of the old testament.
  • 00:06:30.733 --> 00:06:32.201
  • In the old testament, we have a shadow.
  • 00:06:32.201 --> 00:06:34.437
  • On the night of the passover, god told israel to put the blood
  • 00:06:34.437 --> 00:06:37.173
  • On the door posts and on the lintel, right?
  • 00:06:37.173 --> 00:06:39.976
  • Making the cross.
  • 00:06:39.976 --> 00:06:41.444
  • Can you see it?
  • 00:06:41.444 --> 00:06:42.712
  • And god said, "eat the roasted lamb, roasted in fire, and do
  • 00:06:42.712 --> 00:06:48.317
  • Not eat it softened with water."
  • 00:06:48.317 --> 00:06:50.319
  • Do not wash water down the person of our lord jesus.
  • 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.990
  • Don't water it down.
  • 00:06:53.990 --> 00:06:55.091
  • Don't just say that he is a good man,
  • 00:06:55.091 --> 00:06:57.460
  • But he's not roasted in fire.
  • 00:06:57.460 --> 00:06:59.428
  • Don't eat him not roasted in fire.
  • 00:06:59.428 --> 00:07:01.998
  • Roasted in fire means see him at the cross,
  • 00:07:01.998 --> 00:07:03.799
  • Suffering your judgment and my judgment because
  • 00:07:03.799 --> 00:07:06.068
  • He was carrying our sins.
  • 00:07:06.068 --> 00:07:07.770
  • That's how you partake worthily.
  • 00:07:07.770 --> 00:07:09.739
  • So they were partaking of the roasted lamb.
  • 00:07:09.739 --> 00:07:11.474
  • They ate the head.
  • 00:07:11.474 --> 00:07:12.575
  • They ate the entrails.
  • 00:07:12.575 --> 00:07:13.609
  • They ate the feet.
  • 00:07:13.609 --> 00:07:14.944
  • And whatever they are suffering from, if they're suffering
  • 00:07:14.944 --> 00:07:16.879
  • From dementia or alzheimer, they partake even of the brain.
  • 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.283
  • While the judgment was going on outside,
  • 00:07:20.283 --> 00:07:22.985
  • The angel of death was passing by and he looks at the house.
  • 00:07:22.985 --> 00:07:26.889
  • Okay?
  • 00:07:26.889 --> 00:07:27.957
  • Now listen carefully.
  • 00:07:27.957 --> 00:07:29.025
  • God is not requiring great faith to eat, only hunger.
  • 00:07:29.025 --> 00:07:32.795
  • Amen.
  • 00:07:32.795 --> 00:07:33.996
  • God doesn't need great faith for you to put on the blood.
  • 00:07:33.996 --> 00:07:37.466
  • Just obedience.
  • 00:07:37.466 --> 00:07:39.468
  • Amen.
  • 00:07:39.468 --> 00:07:40.736
  • And it doesn't matter how afraid they are, trembling, all right?
  • 00:07:40.736 --> 00:07:43.906
  • When they know that at that hour, at the midnight hour, the
  • 00:07:43.906 --> 00:07:46.409
  • Angel of death is passing by-- if they are struggling
  • 00:07:46.409 --> 00:07:49.078
  • And some of them are really, really, you know, crying,
  • 00:07:49.078 --> 00:07:52.515
  • Bawling in the house, but as long as the blood
  • 00:07:52.515 --> 00:07:55.051
  • Is there, they are safe.
  • 00:07:55.051 --> 00:07:57.553
  • They just wasted all their emotions.
  • 00:07:57.553 --> 00:07:59.855
  • They just wasted all their fears.
  • 00:07:59.855 --> 00:08:02.224
  • Am i right?
  • 00:08:02.224 --> 00:08:03.326
  • Because their security lies not in their faith.
  • 00:08:03.326 --> 00:08:05.328
  • It lies in the blood.
  • 00:08:05.328 --> 00:08:07.863
  • Am i right?
  • 00:08:07.863 --> 00:08:08.864
  • So another house, an egyptian house.
  • 00:08:08.864 --> 00:08:11.400
  • "don't worry, nothing will happen to us.
  • 00:08:11.400 --> 00:08:12.935
  • All this moses fake news.
  • 00:08:12.935 --> 00:08:16.906
  • All right?
  • 00:08:16.906 --> 00:08:17.940
  • Don't worry about it.
  • 00:08:17.940 --> 00:08:18.975
  • Nothing is going to happen to you."
  • 00:08:18.975 --> 00:08:20.810
  • So for him, all right, there's no blood
  • 00:08:20.810 --> 00:08:22.945
  • On the doorposts.
  • 00:08:22.945 --> 00:08:24.080
  • Nothing.
  • 00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:25.147
  • But they are very confident.
  • 00:08:25.147 --> 00:08:26.282
  • You might even say they look like people of faith.
  • 00:08:26.282 --> 00:08:28.551
  • What's going to happen that night?
  • 00:08:28.551 --> 00:08:31.087
  • The moment it strikes midnight, the son drops dead.
  • 00:08:31.087 --> 00:08:35.391
  • The firstborn.
  • 00:08:35.391 --> 00:08:36.926
  • Amen.
  • 00:08:36.926 --> 00:08:37.994
  • It's not your confidence.
  • 00:08:37.994 --> 00:08:39.095
  • It's not your great faith.
  • 00:08:39.095 --> 00:08:40.229
  • It's not even positive thinking.
  • 00:08:40.229 --> 00:08:43.132
  • It is the blood or the lack of it.
  • 00:08:43.132 --> 00:08:45.501
  • Amen.
  • 00:08:45.501 --> 00:08:46.736
  • Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins.
  • 00:08:46.736 --> 00:08:48.304
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:08:48.304 --> 00:08:49.372
  • So put this in the communion.
  • 00:08:49.372 --> 00:08:51.073
  • Whether you fully understand or you don't fully understand,
  • 00:08:51.073 --> 00:08:52.842
  • It doesn't really matter.
  • 00:08:52.842 --> 00:08:54.343
  • Jesus died for you.
  • 00:08:54.343 --> 00:08:56.012
  • His blood has been shed.
  • 00:08:56.012 --> 00:08:57.513
  • What you need to do is be worthy--not sorry,
  • 00:08:57.513 --> 00:09:00.516
  • Partake worthily.
  • 00:09:00.516 --> 00:09:02.618
  • Not try to earn it, not try to deserve it.
  • 00:09:02.618 --> 00:09:05.221
  • Just know that he did it for me.
  • 00:09:05.221 --> 00:09:07.123
  • That's all you need to do.
  • 00:09:07.123 --> 00:09:09.558
  • Amen.
  • 00:09:09.558 --> 00:09:11.227
  • So watch this, 1 corinthians 11.
  • 00:09:11.227 --> 00:09:13.696
  • Paul says this: "for i received from the lord that which
  • 00:09:13.696 --> 00:09:16.799
  • I also delivered to you: that the lord jesus on the same night
  • 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.269
  • In which he was betrayed took bread;
  • 00:09:20.269 --> 00:09:22.972
  • And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said,
  • 00:09:22.972 --> 00:09:25.041
  • "take, eat: this is my body which is broken for you;
  • 00:09:25.041 --> 00:09:27.576
  • This do in remembrance of me."
  • 00:09:27.576 --> 00:09:29.845
  • Now listen carefully.
  • 00:09:29.845 --> 00:09:32.548
  • This is direct revelation from the lord.
  • 00:09:32.615 --> 00:09:35.785
  • He didn't learn this from matthew.
  • 00:09:35.785 --> 00:09:37.853
  • He didn't learn this from bartholomew.
  • 00:09:37.853 --> 00:09:39.955
  • He didn't learn this from thomas.
  • 00:09:39.955 --> 00:09:41.223
  • They were all there, in the upper room.
  • 00:09:41.223 --> 00:09:42.391
  • He could have gone to them and asked them, right?
  • 00:09:42.391 --> 00:09:45.194
  • But he received straight from the lord.
  • 00:09:45.194 --> 00:09:47.430
  • "for i received from the lord."
  • 00:09:47.430 --> 00:09:48.998
  • What is it about the communion that is so important
  • 00:09:48.998 --> 00:09:53.069
  • That the lord jesus himself, whether it's in vision form
  • 00:09:53.069 --> 00:09:56.906
  • Or jesus came to him directly and taught him,
  • 00:09:56.906 --> 00:09:59.508
  • He received from the lord directly this revelation.
  • 00:09:59.508 --> 00:10:03.012
  • And it was from paul that we learn about health
  • 00:10:03.012 --> 00:10:07.850
  • And healing being available and how neglecting
  • 00:10:07.850 --> 00:10:11.921
  • This provision from god is causing people
  • 00:10:11.921 --> 00:10:15.024
  • To be weak, sickly, and dying prematurely.
  • 00:10:15.024 --> 00:10:20.262
  • So we have this idea that in churches today,
  • 00:10:20.262 --> 00:10:24.233
  • If you partake the lord's supper and you have sin in your life,
  • 00:10:24.233 --> 00:10:28.170
  • Then you might be sick.
  • 00:10:28.170 --> 00:10:30.473
  • It's a judgment.
  • 00:10:30.473 --> 00:10:31.807
  • Because there's sin in your life,
  • 00:10:31.807 --> 00:10:33.109
  • You might even die prematurely.
  • 00:10:33.109 --> 00:10:35.111
  • And they got it from this passage and the whole thing
  • 00:10:35.111 --> 00:10:36.746
  • Is misconstrued.
  • 00:10:36.746 --> 00:10:37.980
  • You know, i did my best not to go into the theological part and
  • 00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:40.883
  • All that but the moment i did that, something happened to me.
  • 00:10:40.883 --> 00:10:43.986
  • I felt the lord saying, "no, you teach that."
  • 00:10:43.986 --> 00:10:47.356
  • So i'm going to teach that as much as i can today.
  • 00:10:47.356 --> 00:10:49.825
  • So first of all, it's a direct revelation from the lord.
  • 00:10:49.825 --> 00:10:52.828
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:10:52.828 --> 00:10:54.163
  • Okay.
  • 00:10:54.163 --> 00:10:55.231
  • Number two, the lord watches over this provision.
  • 00:10:55.231 --> 00:10:57.900
  • You know, for some reason, people say, "you know,
  • 00:10:57.900 --> 00:10:59.869
  • Pastor prince, it's just a piece of cracker
  • 00:10:59.869 --> 00:11:01.437
  • And a piece of juice and all that.
  • 00:11:01.437 --> 00:11:02.671
  • What can it do?"
  • 00:11:02.671 --> 00:11:03.739
  • Well, you know what happened when the woman said,
  • 00:11:03.739 --> 00:11:08.978
  • "yes, master," when she was looking
  • 00:11:08.978 --> 00:11:10.880
  • For the lord's healing for her daughter who was
  • 00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:13.415
  • Demon-possessed, and she says that even the crumbs that fall
  • 00:11:13.415 --> 00:11:17.520
  • From the master's table, even the crumbs, and the lord says,
  • 00:11:17.520 --> 00:11:21.323
  • "for this saying, go thy way.
  • 00:11:21.323 --> 00:11:23.092
  • The devil's gone out of your daughter."
  • 00:11:23.092 --> 00:11:25.427
  • Even a crumb can drive a demon out.
  • 00:11:25.427 --> 00:11:29.331
  • Can drive the cancer out.
  • 00:11:29.331 --> 00:11:31.667
  • Because the body of jesus is a symbol of the body of jesus.
  • 00:11:31.667 --> 00:11:34.303
  • Hey, folks, we are not like the puppies under the table.
  • 00:11:34.303 --> 00:11:39.809
  • We are sitting on the table.
  • 00:11:39.809 --> 00:11:42.478
  • We don't have crumbs.
  • 00:11:42.478 --> 00:11:43.579
  • We have the whole bread.
  • 00:11:43.579 --> 00:11:45.614
  • She's just saying, even the crumbs that the puppies eat.
  • 00:11:45.614 --> 00:11:48.417
  • Even puppies eat the crumbs.
  • 00:11:48.417 --> 00:11:50.553
  • The puppies are gentiles.
  • 00:11:50.553 --> 00:11:51.654
  • We're not that level.
  • 00:11:51.654 --> 00:11:52.755
  • We're not gentiles.
  • 00:11:52.755 --> 00:11:56.058
  • We are the church of christ.
  • 00:11:56.058 --> 00:11:59.161
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:11:59.161 --> 00:12:00.963
  • So here we go.
  • 00:12:00.963 --> 00:12:03.199
  • Paul says, "guys, you're missing out."
  • 00:12:03.199 --> 00:12:05.701
  • And that's the reason we don't understand that god has given us
  • 00:12:05.701 --> 00:12:08.404
  • A provision, all right, that we don't have to suffer
  • 00:12:08.404 --> 00:12:12.441
  • Like the world.
  • 00:12:12.441 --> 00:12:13.742
  • The world has what?
  • 00:12:13.742 --> 00:12:14.944
  • Sickness, dying prematurely, but i've given you a provision,
  • 00:12:14.944 --> 00:12:19.081
  • God is saying.
  • 00:12:19.081 --> 00:12:20.149
  • The body and the blood of my son.
  • 00:12:20.149 --> 00:12:23.185
  • If you will partake, you will escape the condemnation,
  • 00:12:23.185 --> 00:12:26.455
  • The sentence of this world.
  • 00:12:26.455 --> 00:12:27.656
  • See, there's a sentence in this world.
  • 00:12:27.656 --> 00:12:30.059
  • Ever since adam sinned, the sentence was what?
  • 00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:32.828
  • Death.
  • 00:12:32.828 --> 00:12:33.896
  • But before death is what?
  • 00:12:33.896 --> 00:12:35.764
  • Weakness.
  • 00:12:35.764 --> 00:12:37.399
  • Sickness.
  • 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:38.801
  • Death.
  • 00:12:38.801 --> 00:12:39.802
  • So that's the sentence of the world.
  • 00:12:39.802 --> 00:12:41.770
  • Now, we are not to suffer that sentence.
  • 00:12:41.770 --> 00:12:44.907
  • Now listen carefully.
  • 00:12:44.907 --> 00:12:46.976
  • Christians do get sick.
  • 00:12:46.976 --> 00:12:49.879
  • At times, i get sick.
  • 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:54.817
  • But i know, when i get sick, that this is not god's will
  • 00:12:54.817 --> 00:12:58.654
  • For me, okay?
  • 00:12:58.654 --> 00:13:02.358
  • Compared to people who are sick and thinking,
  • 00:13:02.358 --> 00:13:04.460
  • "what is god teaching me?
  • 00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:07.496
  • Because god gave me this sickness."
  • 00:13:07.496 --> 00:13:08.998
  • Now that's totally a different ball game.
  • 00:13:08.998 --> 00:13:12.167
  • Okay?
  • 00:13:12.167 --> 00:13:13.335
  • So here, we must be clear that there was no sickness,
  • 00:13:13.335 --> 00:13:16.472
  • There was not even death until adam sinned.
  • 00:13:16.472 --> 00:13:21.043
  • So now it's not part of god's plan.
  • 00:13:21.043 --> 00:13:23.946
  • If it's part of god's plan, you'll see death
  • 00:13:23.946 --> 00:13:26.582
  • Even before adam sinned.
  • 00:13:26.582 --> 00:13:29.084
  • Adam would have been burying some animals.
  • 00:13:29.084 --> 00:13:34.023
  • No.
  • 00:13:34.023 --> 00:13:35.124
  • Death only came in because of sin.
  • 00:13:35.124 --> 00:13:38.427
  • That tells us the way god hates sin, god hates death.
  • 00:13:38.427 --> 00:13:42.898
  • The way god hates sin, god hates sickness.
  • 00:13:42.898 --> 00:13:45.768
  • And that's why the number one thing jesus did in his ministry
  • 00:13:45.768 --> 00:13:48.737
  • Besides preaching is that he went around
  • 00:13:48.737 --> 00:13:51.006
  • Healing all that were sick.
  • 00:13:51.006 --> 00:13:53.809
  • You never find one time that jesus looks at someone and says,
  • 00:13:53.809 --> 00:13:56.812
  • "you're too healthy, come here, receive a bit of leprosy.
  • 00:13:56.812 --> 00:13:59.915
  • I don't know why i'm doing this but there's a reason god
  • 00:13:59.915 --> 00:14:01.784
  • Is doing this to you."
  • 00:14:01.784 --> 00:14:03.419
  • Never, never, never, never, never.
  • 00:14:03.419 --> 00:14:05.988
  • You know, he is always providing.
  • 00:14:05.988 --> 00:14:07.890
  • He never says that, "these people are hungry
  • 00:14:07.890 --> 00:14:09.191
  • For three days but you know what?
  • 00:14:09.191 --> 00:14:10.693
  • There are people who fast for seven days.
  • 00:14:10.693 --> 00:14:13.629
  • Ask daniel, all right?
  • 00:14:13.629 --> 00:14:15.230
  • It's time for them to learn discipline."
  • 00:14:15.230 --> 00:14:16.932
  • No, he fed them.
  • 00:14:16.932 --> 00:14:18.100
  • They were hungry. he fed them.
  • 00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:19.601
  • So does god want to supply?
  • 00:14:19.601 --> 00:14:20.636
  • Yes.
  • 00:14:20.636 --> 00:14:21.837
  • And the supply only stops when they stop.
  • 00:14:21.837 --> 00:14:25.741
  • The bible says, "as much as they would."
  • 00:14:25.741 --> 00:14:27.643
  • He gave them as much as they would, not as god would.
  • 00:14:27.643 --> 00:14:31.280
  • So god wants you to be blessed.
  • 00:14:31.280 --> 00:14:33.182
  • He wants you to have provisions.
  • 00:14:33.182 --> 00:14:35.017
  • Yes.
  • 00:14:35.017 --> 00:14:36.185
  • He wants you to be healthy.
  • 00:14:36.185 --> 00:14:37.186
  • Yes.
  • 00:14:37.186 --> 00:14:38.420
  • You know, straight away, "oh, that's a prosperity gospel!"
  • 00:14:38.420 --> 00:14:40.589
  • Oh yeah, okay, okay.
  • 00:14:40.589 --> 00:14:41.824
  • Praise god.
  • 00:14:41.824 --> 00:14:42.858
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:14:42.858 --> 00:14:43.859
  • I'm ignorant.
  • 00:14:43.859 --> 00:14:46.295
  • Amen.
  • 00:14:46.295 --> 00:14:47.329
  • All i know is that the gospel is called
  • 00:14:47.329 --> 00:14:48.664
  • The gospel of the grace of god.
  • 00:14:48.664 --> 00:14:50.833
  • But i'm so ignorant that i think that the gospel of the grace
  • 00:14:50.833 --> 00:14:53.569
  • Of god from history, even from history,
  • 00:14:53.569 --> 00:14:56.105
  • Wherever he has gone, it has brought civilization.
  • 00:14:56.105 --> 00:14:59.408
  • Women are respected and honored.
  • 00:14:59.408 --> 00:15:02.911
  • Education has been the stronghold of christians
  • 00:15:02.911 --> 00:15:07.549
  • In every country where the gospel has gone to.
  • 00:15:07.549 --> 00:15:11.253
  • Amen.
  • 00:15:11.253 --> 00:15:12.254
  • Children are given a chance to be educated.
  • 00:15:12.254 --> 00:15:16.225
  • So, what has happened is that instead of partaking
  • 00:15:16.225 --> 00:15:19.895
  • Of the provisions-- "pastor prince, just eating,
  • 00:15:19.895 --> 00:15:23.298
  • It's such a simple act."
  • 00:15:23.298 --> 00:15:25.000
  • A simple act brought the entire fall of man.
  • 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.237
  • It was a simple act.
  • 00:15:28.237 --> 00:15:29.638
  • It was a simple act that brought--every time
  • 00:15:29.638 --> 00:15:31.907
  • You cry tears because of someone's death,
  • 00:15:31.907 --> 00:15:34.576
  • A relative's death, or whatever, just remember, a simple act.
  • 00:15:34.576 --> 00:15:38.814
  • It was a simple act that caused everything happening.
  • 00:15:38.814 --> 00:15:41.083
  • All the curse came in because of a simple act.
  • 00:15:41.083 --> 00:15:43.685
  • Doesn't it stand to godly reason then that god ordained, you can
  • 00:15:43.685 --> 00:15:47.723
  • Eat your way out of the curse of everything that began
  • 00:15:47.723 --> 00:15:53.462
  • With this simple act of eating.
  • 00:15:53.462 --> 00:15:55.597
  • They can look at the tree, no problem, right?
  • 00:15:55.597 --> 00:15:59.501
  • They can even touch the tree, no problem.
  • 00:15:59.501 --> 00:16:03.639
  • If, as it cannot touch it, god never says cannot touch it.
  • 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:08.177
  • But don't eat it.
  • 00:16:08.177 --> 00:16:10.012
  • Eating is partaking.
  • 00:16:10.012 --> 00:16:11.747
  • So you are the same.
  • 00:16:11.747 --> 00:16:13.282
  • When you partake, don't just listen about the communion.
  • 00:16:13.282 --> 00:16:15.884
  • It's when you partake.
  • 00:16:15.884 --> 00:16:19.721
  • Amen.
  • 00:16:19.721 --> 00:16:20.722
  • So, let's go on, praise god.
  • 00:16:20.722 --> 00:16:22.724
  • Verse 25, "in the same manner he also took the cup and said,
  • 00:16:22.724 --> 00:16:25.928
  • This cup is the new covenant."
  • 00:16:25.928 --> 00:16:27.296
  • All right.
  • 00:16:27.296 --> 00:16:28.297
  • "do this in remembrance of me."
  • 00:16:28.297 --> 00:16:30.165
  • Don't forget, all this is given by the lord jesus direct.
  • 00:16:30.165 --> 00:16:32.267
  • "for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,
  • 00:16:32.267 --> 00:16:34.269
  • You proclaim the lord's death till he comes."
  • 00:16:34.269 --> 00:16:36.905
  • Proclaim the lord's death.
  • 00:16:36.905 --> 00:16:38.440
  • Proclaiming the lord's death.
  • 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:39.842
  • Something like proclaiming the lord's death.
  • 00:16:39.842 --> 00:16:41.977
  • Now we come to this exciting part.
  • 00:16:41.977 --> 00:16:43.879
  • "for as often," as often, not as seldom.
  • 00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:46.215
  • Verse 27, drop down.
  • 00:16:46.215 --> 00:16:47.783
  • "therefore, whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the
  • 00:16:47.783 --> 00:16:49.852
  • Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body
  • 00:16:49.852 --> 00:16:52.121
  • And blood of the lord."
  • 00:16:52.121 --> 00:16:53.622
  • Okay, notice, focus, "in an unworthy manner."
  • 00:16:53.622 --> 00:16:57.059
  • So every time i come sin-conscious, it's unworthy
  • 00:16:57.059 --> 00:16:59.695
  • Because he said, "the cup is for the remission of sins"
  • 00:16:59.695 --> 00:17:02.498
  • And you are acting like sin is not remitted.
  • 00:17:02.498 --> 00:17:05.667
  • It's unworthy.
  • 00:17:05.667 --> 00:17:07.069
  • Amen.
  • 00:17:07.069 --> 00:17:08.237
  • "let a man examine himself and so let him eat of the bread
  • 00:17:08.237 --> 00:17:10.339
  • And drink of the cup."
  • 00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:11.640
  • The way it's taught today is like this.
  • 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:13.142
  • "let a man examine himself for sin."
  • 00:17:13.142 --> 00:17:17.379
  • Right?
  • 00:17:17.379 --> 00:17:18.547
  • It doesn't say, let a man examine himself and abstain from
  • 00:17:18.547 --> 00:17:20.749
  • The bread and push away the cup.
  • 00:17:20.749 --> 00:17:23.719
  • That's what i used to do after i examined myself.
  • 00:17:23.719 --> 00:17:26.455
  • No more faith to partake.
  • 00:17:26.455 --> 00:17:29.258
  • I was so scared.
  • 00:17:29.258 --> 00:17:30.392
  • But the word "examine" is the greek word, "dokimazo."
  • 00:17:30.392 --> 00:17:33.662
  • Dokimazo is the word "examine for good things."
  • 00:17:33.662 --> 00:17:36.798
  • Look at this, dokimazo.
  • 00:17:36.798 --> 00:17:38.000
  • Definition of vine's expository.
  • 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.769
  • Vine is a great scholar.
  • 00:17:40.769 --> 00:17:42.304
  • He said this of dokimazo.
  • 00:17:42.304 --> 00:17:44.339
  • To prove with a view to approving, not a view
  • 00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:48.810
  • Of something negative.
  • 00:17:48.810 --> 00:17:50.913
  • It's to prove something good.
  • 00:17:50.913 --> 00:17:53.248
  • To prove with a view to approval.
  • 00:17:53.248 --> 00:17:57.619
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:17:57.619 --> 00:17:58.787
  • So this idea of examining yourself for sin doesn't fit in
  • 00:17:58.787 --> 00:18:01.523
  • With dokimazo.
  • 00:18:01.523 --> 00:18:05.761
  • Okay, go back to the passage again.
  • 00:18:05.761 --> 00:18:08.630
  • "let a man examine a proof himself."
  • 00:18:08.630 --> 00:18:12.000
  • Amen.
  • 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.035
  • Yes.
  • 00:18:13.035 --> 00:18:14.169
  • I know the purpose of the lord's supper.
  • 00:18:14.169 --> 00:18:16.104
  • I know his body was broken for my sins and for my diseases.
  • 00:18:16.104 --> 00:18:20.209
  • Amen.
  • 00:18:20.209 --> 00:18:21.210
  • I partake receiving his health.
  • 00:18:21.210 --> 00:18:22.678
  • I know i'm examining myself.
  • 00:18:22.678 --> 00:18:24.313
  • I'm proving what is approved.
  • 00:18:24.313 --> 00:18:27.549
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:18:27.549 --> 00:18:29.151
  • Okay, "so let him eat of the bread and drink
  • 00:18:29.151 --> 00:18:31.186
  • Of the cup."
  • 00:18:31.186 --> 00:18:32.454
  • Doesn't say, "examine yourself and then abstain from the cup."
  • 00:18:32.454 --> 00:18:35.791
  • Abstain from the cup.
  • 00:18:35.791 --> 00:18:37.125
  • No!
  • 00:18:37.125 --> 00:18:38.193
  • That's what's happening in the church.
  • 00:18:38.193 --> 00:18:39.561
  • Drop down.
  • 00:18:39.561 --> 00:18:40.896
  • "for he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner,
  • 00:18:40.896 --> 00:18:43.198
  • Eats and drinks judgment to himself,
  • 00:18:43.198 --> 00:18:45.100
  • Not discerning the lord's body."
  • 00:18:45.100 --> 00:18:46.802
  • Now, drinks judgment to himself.
  • 00:18:46.802 --> 00:18:49.104
  • This is the part where it gets a bit of people concerned.
  • 00:18:49.104 --> 00:18:52.040
  • It drinks judgment to himself.
  • 00:18:52.040 --> 00:18:53.075
  • "well, pastor prince, you know, there you go.
  • 00:18:53.075 --> 00:18:55.043
  • It drinks judgment."
  • 00:18:55.043 --> 00:18:56.111
  • Now let me just tell you this.
  • 00:18:56.111 --> 00:18:57.179
  • The word "judgment" here is krima.
  • 00:18:57.179 --> 00:18:58.847
  • Let me just tell you this.
  • 00:18:58.847 --> 00:18:59.881
  • Judgment is there, all right?
  • 00:18:59.881 --> 00:19:02.551
  • You can also judge yourself.
  • 00:19:02.551 --> 00:19:05.487
  • Am i right?
  • 00:19:05.487 --> 00:19:06.788
  • So who is the one that's partaking unworthily?
  • 00:19:06.788 --> 00:19:08.924
  • "he's the one who is eating judging himself.
  • 00:19:08.924 --> 00:19:10.959
  • He's eating judgment to himself."
  • 00:19:11.793 --> 00:19:13.862
  • The word "to himself" is the reflexive noun in the greek.
  • 00:19:13.862 --> 00:19:18.600
  • Reflexive noun, i told you a bit theological, right?
  • 00:19:18.600 --> 00:19:21.870
  • Reflexive noun means the person is doing it to himself, not god.
  • 00:19:21.870 --> 00:19:24.640
  • Reflexive noun is like john is doing to john.
  • 00:19:28.410 --> 00:19:31.980
  • Mark is doing to mark.
  • 00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:33.315
  • Peter is doing to peter.
  • 00:19:33.315 --> 00:19:34.549
  • Nobody outside is doing it to him.
  • 00:19:34.549 --> 00:19:38.320
  • In other words, he's sin-conscious.
  • 00:19:38.320 --> 00:19:41.223
  • He's eating, right?
  • 00:19:41.223 --> 00:19:43.425
  • Sin-conscious.
  • 00:19:43.425 --> 00:19:44.893
  • He's still feeling judgment.
  • 00:19:44.893 --> 00:19:47.629
  • He's eating judgment.
  • 00:19:47.629 --> 00:19:49.231
  • He's not eating justification.
  • 00:19:49.231 --> 00:19:53.101
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:19:53.101 --> 00:19:54.603
  • "to himself" means, over there you check it out, in the greek
  • 00:19:54.603 --> 00:19:57.873
  • It's a reflexive noun.
  • 00:19:57.873 --> 00:19:59.308
  • It's something he's doing to himself.
  • 00:19:59.308 --> 00:20:01.176
  • So if you partake with judgment to yourself, if you are
  • 00:20:01.176 --> 00:20:04.713
  • Self-condemned, you partake.
  • 00:20:04.713 --> 00:20:06.048
  • That's partaking unworthily.
  • 00:20:06.048 --> 00:20:07.949
  • Because the cup that you hold is proof that your sins
  • 00:20:07.949 --> 00:20:11.353
  • Have been put away.
  • 00:20:11.353 --> 00:20:13.488
  • Yet you are seeing your sins on yourself.
  • 00:20:13.488 --> 00:20:16.358
  • You are drinking judgment to yourself, not judgment from god.
  • 00:20:16.358 --> 00:20:23.498
  • Okay.
  • 00:20:23.498 --> 00:20:24.566
  • For this reason, not discerning the lord's body.
  • 00:20:24.566 --> 00:20:27.669
  • All right, not discerning the lord's body.
  • 00:20:27.669 --> 00:20:29.838
  • So another feature is this, when you're condemning yourself,
  • 00:20:29.838 --> 00:20:33.008
  • You're not discerning the lord's body.
  • 00:20:33.008 --> 00:20:34.509
  • The lord's body was broken, listen, listen.
  • 00:20:34.509 --> 00:20:36.712
  • Was broken so that judgment will not be part of your life.
  • 00:20:36.712 --> 00:20:40.382
  • Judgment is over and gone.
  • 00:20:40.382 --> 00:20:43.585
  • He dispensed a judgment of god, right?
  • 00:20:43.585 --> 00:20:45.987
  • So also the body, another judgment on mankind in terms of
  • 00:20:45.987 --> 00:20:52.194
  • Our body is sickness and death, fasting yourself.
  • 00:20:52.194 --> 00:20:56.365
  • So we have discerned the lord's body.
  • 00:20:56.365 --> 00:20:58.066
  • Why was his body broken?
  • 00:20:58.066 --> 00:20:59.134
  • You must make a difference.
  • 00:20:59.134 --> 00:21:01.136
  • Now we come to the greek word.
  • 00:21:01.136 --> 00:21:02.771
  • Not discerning the lord's body.
  • 00:21:02.771 --> 00:21:04.373
  • It is the word, not discerning is the word
  • 00:21:04.373 --> 00:21:06.174
  • "diakrino."
  • 00:21:06.174 --> 00:21:07.576
  • And diakrino is this in thayer's definition.
  • 00:21:07.576 --> 00:21:12.381
  • Show them thayer's definition.
  • 00:21:12.381 --> 00:21:13.582
  • To separate, say separate.
  • 00:21:13.582 --> 00:21:16.151
  • Make a distinction.
  • 00:21:16.151 --> 00:21:18.120
  • Discriminate, to prefer.
  • 00:21:18.120 --> 00:21:20.355
  • Now look at me, look at me.
  • 00:21:21.089 --> 00:21:22.324
  • Do you know something?
  • 00:21:22.324 --> 00:21:23.392
  • In mark 11:23, that famous passage says that
  • 00:21:23.392 --> 00:21:28.296
  • If you speak to the mountain and you don't doubt
  • 00:21:28.296 --> 00:21:31.566
  • In your heart, and you don't doubt
  • 00:21:31.566 --> 00:21:34.269
  • In your heart, you will do not only
  • 00:21:34.269 --> 00:21:36.104
  • What is done to the fig tree that was cursed,
  • 00:21:36.104 --> 00:21:38.673
  • But the mountain will move.
  • 00:21:38.673 --> 00:21:40.675
  • And the word "doubt not in your heart."
  • 00:21:40.675 --> 00:21:42.944
  • We always teach doubt not means don't doubt.
  • 00:21:42.944 --> 00:21:45.747
  • But actually there's another place where the word "doubt"
  • 00:21:45.747 --> 00:21:47.382
  • Is used.
  • 00:21:47.382 --> 00:21:48.483
  • When peter was walking on the water, then he looked
  • 00:21:48.483 --> 00:21:51.586
  • At the storm and the waves.
  • 00:21:51.586 --> 00:21:53.488
  • Then he sank.
  • 00:21:53.488 --> 00:21:54.556
  • Jesus grabbed hold of him and jesus said this,
  • 00:21:54.556 --> 00:21:56.291
  • "why did you doubt?"
  • 00:21:56.291 --> 00:21:58.093
  • It's a different word from diakrino.
  • 00:21:58.093 --> 00:22:00.629
  • Over there, it is literally doubt.
  • 00:22:00.629 --> 00:22:02.464
  • It is the word "distazo."
  • 00:22:02.464 --> 00:22:04.166
  • In other words, distazo is made of double standing.
  • 00:22:04.166 --> 00:22:07.169
  • Stasis is standing.
  • 00:22:07.169 --> 00:22:08.603
  • Di is double.
  • 00:22:08.603 --> 00:22:09.604
  • Distazo, why did you distazo?
  • 00:22:09.604 --> 00:22:12.040
  • You are believing me, looking at me,
  • 00:22:12.040 --> 00:22:15.510
  • And you're looking at circumstances.
  • 00:22:15.510 --> 00:22:17.012
  • You're looking at me, looking at circumstances.
  • 00:22:17.012 --> 00:22:18.613
  • You have two standing.
  • 00:22:18.613 --> 00:22:19.948
  • Why do you--that's doubt.
  • 00:22:19.948 --> 00:22:21.616
  • But in mark 11:23 he says, "if you diakrino--don't doubt
  • 00:22:21.616 --> 00:22:26.288
  • In your heart."
  • 00:22:26.288 --> 00:22:27.489
  • Don't make a distinction between the cursing of the fig tree.
  • 00:22:27.489 --> 00:22:29.257
  • Maybe people say, "i can curse the fig tree.
  • 00:22:29.257 --> 00:22:31.159
  • It's small.
  • 00:22:31.159 --> 00:22:32.394
  • But moving a mountain, i can't."
  • 00:22:32.394 --> 00:22:33.995
  • Don't make a difference.
  • 00:22:33.995 --> 00:22:40.836
  • Do not diakrino in your heart.
  • 00:22:40.902 --> 00:22:42.471
  • Because diakrino means what?
  • 00:22:42.471 --> 00:22:43.638
  • Separate.
  • 00:22:43.638 --> 00:22:44.706
  • Right below that, it says, doubt.
  • 00:22:44.706 --> 00:22:46.775
  • To be at variance with oneself.
  • 00:22:46.775 --> 00:22:49.077
  • Another revelation there is that krima is judging.
  • 00:22:49.077 --> 00:22:52.214
  • Dia is by means of.
  • 00:22:52.214 --> 00:22:53.381
  • You are judging yourself.
  • 00:22:53.381 --> 00:22:55.383
  • You can't speak to the mountain.
  • 00:22:55.383 --> 00:22:58.687
  • Okay? got it so far?
  • 00:22:58.687 --> 00:23:00.288
  • But the primary use of diakrino is to make a distinction.
  • 00:23:00.288 --> 00:23:03.058
  • So let's go back to the passage again, and it says, "it's not
  • 00:23:03.058 --> 00:23:05.794
  • Discerning the lord's body" means what?
  • 00:23:05.861 --> 00:23:06.995
  • You are not making a distinction.
  • 00:23:06.995 --> 00:23:08.196
  • A lot of people, they take the bread and they
  • 00:23:08.196 --> 00:23:09.698
  • Take the cup and just say, "i take it in communion."
  • 00:23:09.698 --> 00:23:12.067
  • They don't distinguish.
  • 00:23:12.067 --> 00:23:13.368
  • Do you know the blood?
  • 00:23:13.368 --> 00:23:14.536
  • Many people know the blood is for the forgiveness of sins.
  • 00:23:14.536 --> 00:23:18.073
  • Amen.
  • 00:23:18.073 --> 00:23:19.140
  • But they lump both the bread and the cup as one.
  • 00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:24.145
  • No one taught them to distinguish, make a difference
  • 00:23:24.145 --> 00:23:28.884
  • Between the bread, the lord's body,
  • 00:23:28.884 --> 00:23:31.920
  • And the blood, the cup.
  • 00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:36.424
  • So for this reason, i'm not distinguishing.
  • 00:23:36.424 --> 00:23:38.293
  • Not diakrino.
  • 00:23:38.293 --> 00:23:40.262
  • "for this reason, many are weak and sick among you
  • 00:23:40.262 --> 00:23:43.965
  • And fall asleep."
  • 00:23:43.965 --> 00:23:44.966
  • They die prematurely.
  • 00:23:44.966 --> 00:23:46.968
  • Is this god's will?
  • 00:23:46.968 --> 00:23:48.036
  • No.
  • 00:23:48.036 --> 00:23:49.838
  • Amen, i pray that this will encourage you to partake
  • 00:23:49.838 --> 00:23:53.141
  • Of the lord's supper, especially, when you've been
  • 00:23:53.141 --> 00:23:55.010
  • Diagnosed with something.
  • 00:23:55.010 --> 00:23:56.378
  • Hands have been laid on you, but you know what?
  • 00:23:56.378 --> 00:23:58.680
  • Don't give up.
  • 00:23:58.680 --> 00:23:59.681
  • Keep on partaking.
  • 00:23:59.681 --> 00:24:00.916
  • Many a times, the miracles i see through the lord's supper
  • 00:24:00.916 --> 00:24:07.055
  • Has not come instantaneously.
  • 00:24:07.055 --> 00:24:09.291
  • It's come 30-fold, 60-fold, and then 100-fold.
  • 00:24:09.291 --> 00:24:14.462
  • But it will surely come.
  • 00:24:14.462 --> 00:24:16.064

  • Blessed and prepared by you.
  • 00:25:01.576 --> 00:25:04.312
  • Father, cause your angels to be stationed all around them and
  • 00:25:04.312 --> 00:25:07.349
  • Their families to deliver them from harm and evil.
  • 00:25:07.349 --> 00:25:11.386
  • I pray, father, that you'll put them far, far, far from places,
  • 00:25:11.386 --> 00:25:15.023
  • Lord, that will cause evil to happen.
  • 00:25:15.023 --> 00:25:18.193

  • 00:25:18.193 --> 00:25:21.129
  • Cause them to enjoy your goodness and your free
  • 00:25:21.129 --> 00:25:23.665

  • Everywhere they go.
  • 00:25:24.866 --> 00:25:26.067
  • Let the presence of the lord be so evident

  • And that heavenly life, lord, just ooze out of them, father.
  • 00:25:29.671 --> 00:25:33.341
  • Everywhere they go, father.
  • 00:25:33.341 --> 00:25:34.643
  • Everyone they meet, someone will sense
  • 00:25:34.643 --> 00:25:36.911
