  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:08.884
  • Joseph prince: jesus's feet took him
  • 00:00:13.155 --> 00:00:14.456
  • Straight among the multitude of suffering and needy humanity.
  • 00:00:14.556 --> 00:00:19.795
  • That's where grace is attracted to.
  • 00:00:19.928 --> 00:00:21.530
  • Jesus said like this: "it is your father's good pleasure
  • 00:00:21.663 --> 00:00:25.334
  • To give you the kingdom."
  • 00:00:25.467 --> 00:00:25.901
  • Don't you just love him?
  • 00:00:27.569 --> 00:00:28.937
  • All right, he came in the midst of suffering humanity.
  • 00:00:28.937 --> 00:00:32.574
  • That's where grace is attracted to.
  • 00:00:32.574 --> 00:00:34.409
  • God is attracted, he loves, he loves to pour out.
  • 00:00:34.409 --> 00:00:37.579
  • You give him joy. jesus said it like this.
  • 00:00:37.579 --> 00:00:39.681
  • "it is your father's good pleasure
  • 00:00:39.681 --> 00:00:42.317
  • To give you the kingdom."
  • 00:00:42.317 --> 00:00:44.686
  • The day we realize that god wants you healed
  • 00:00:44.686 --> 00:00:49.491
  • More than you want to be healed, healing is not a problem.
  • 00:00:49.491 --> 00:00:53.328
  • You think that god just wants to heal your knee.
  • 00:00:53.328 --> 00:00:55.764
  • God just wants to heal your neck, heal your lungs.
  • 00:00:55.764 --> 00:00:58.767
  • No, he wants to make every part of you, every whit, whole.
  • 00:00:58.767 --> 00:01:03.972
  • I love it.
  • 00:01:03.972 --> 00:01:05.307
  • Would you receive this right now?
  • 00:01:05.307 --> 00:01:07.476
  • Male announcer: are you sick in your body
  • 00:01:07.476 --> 00:01:08.810
  • And tired of waiting for answers?
  • 00:01:08.810 --> 00:01:10.612
  • In today's message, joseph prince opens
  • 00:01:10.612 --> 00:01:12.881
  • The scriptures to show how god's healing is real
  • 00:01:12.881 --> 00:01:15.284
  • And available to you today.
  • 00:01:15.284 --> 00:01:17.286
  • Announcer: and now here is pastor joseph prince
  • 00:01:17.352 --> 00:01:19.855
  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:19.855 --> 00:01:21.356
  • Joseph prince: john chapter 5,
  • 00:01:21.356 --> 00:01:23.425
  • "after this there was a feast of the jews,
  • 00:01:23.425 --> 00:01:25.661
  • And jesus went up to jerusalem.
  • 00:01:25.661 --> 00:01:28.130
  • Now there is in jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool,
  • 00:01:28.130 --> 00:01:31.967
  • Which is called in hebrew, bethesda, having five porches.
  • 00:01:31.967 --> 00:01:37.439
  • In this lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame,
  • 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:42.377
  • Paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.
  • 00:01:42.377 --> 00:01:46.215
  • For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool
  • 00:01:46.215 --> 00:01:49.585
  • And stirred up the water,
  • 00:01:49.585 --> 00:01:51.353
  • Then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water,
  • 00:01:51.353 --> 00:01:55.190
  • Was made well of whatever disease he had.
  • 00:01:55.190 --> 00:01:59.394
  • Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity
  • 00:01:59.394 --> 00:02:02.431
  • Thirty-eight years.
  • 00:02:02.431 --> 00:02:05.300
  • When jesus saw him lying there,
  • 00:02:05.300 --> 00:02:07.236
  • And knew that he already had been in that condition
  • 00:02:07.236 --> 00:02:09.404
  • A long time, he said to him, 'do you want to be made well?'
  • 00:02:09.404 --> 00:02:15.611
  • The sick man answered him, 'sir, i have no man to put me
  • 00:02:15.611 --> 00:02:18.547
  • Into the pool when the water stirred up;
  • 00:02:18.547 --> 00:02:20.515
  • But while i'm coming, another steps down before me.'
  • 00:02:20.515 --> 00:02:23.752
  • Jesus said to him, 'rise, take up your bed and walk.'
  • 00:02:23.752 --> 00:02:28.857
  • And immediately the man was made well,
  • 00:02:28.857 --> 00:02:31.994
  • Took up his bed, and walked.
  • 00:02:31.994 --> 00:02:34.129
  • And that day was the sabbath.
  • 00:02:34.129 --> 00:02:36.932
  • The jews therefore said to him who was cured,
  • 00:02:36.932 --> 00:02:39.034
  • 'it is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you
  • 00:02:39.034 --> 00:02:40.969
  • To carry your bed.
  • 00:02:40.969 --> 00:02:42.537
  • He answered them, 'he who made me well said to me,
  • 00:02:42.537 --> 00:02:45.907
  • "take up your bed and walk."'
  • 00:02:45.907 --> 00:02:47.376
  • Then they asked him, 'who is the man who said to you,
  • 00:02:47.376 --> 00:02:49.645
  • "take up your bed and walk?"'
  • 00:02:49.645 --> 00:02:51.213
  • But the one who was healed did not know who it was,
  • 00:02:51.213 --> 00:02:54.016
  • For jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.
  • 00:02:54.016 --> 00:02:59.454
  • Afterwards jesus found him in the temple, and said to him,
  • 00:02:59.454 --> 00:03:02.457
  • 'see, you have been made well.
  • 00:03:02.457 --> 00:03:04.826
  • Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.'
  • 00:03:04.826 --> 00:03:07.763
  • The man departed and told the jews that it was jesus
  • 00:03:07.763 --> 00:03:11.199
  • Who had made him well.
  • 00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.734
  • For this reason the jews persecuted jesus,
  • 00:03:12.734 --> 00:03:16.438
  • And sought to kill him, because he had done
  • 00:03:16.438 --> 00:03:19.941
  • These things on the sabbath."
  • 00:03:19.941 --> 00:03:26.081
  • Now, this is a beautiful story.
  • 00:03:26.081 --> 00:03:29.851
  • Many of us are familiar with this story.
  • 00:03:29.851 --> 00:03:31.753
  • But there are wonderful nuggets of truth on healing, on health,
  • 00:03:31.753 --> 00:03:38.126
  • How to receive from the lord.
  • 00:03:38.126 --> 00:03:39.995
  • And also, most importantly, we can see jesus in his beauty,
  • 00:03:39.995 --> 00:03:44.599
  • Glories, his excellencies, amen?
  • 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.837
  • John chapter--all the miracles in john are signs.
  • 00:03:48.837 --> 00:03:54.343
  • Say, "signs."
  • 00:03:54.343 --> 00:03:55.677
  • That means they point to something.
  • 00:03:55.677 --> 00:03:57.145
  • And even this healing is actually a parable in action.
  • 00:03:57.145 --> 00:04:02.117
  • "in this lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame,
  • 00:04:02.117 --> 00:04:07.756
  • Paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.
  • 00:04:07.756 --> 00:04:11.560
  • Because an angel came down and stirred the water.
  • 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.763
  • And the first one that stepped into the water,
  • 00:04:14.763 --> 00:04:17.833
  • After it was stirred, was made well
  • 00:04:17.833 --> 00:04:19.768
  • Of whatever disease he had."
  • 00:04:19.768 --> 00:04:21.870
  • Now, this stirring of the water, back to verse 3 again:
  • 00:04:21.870 --> 00:04:25.941
  • "in this lay a great multitude of sick people."
  • 00:04:25.941 --> 00:04:28.143
  • I like the old king james because the old king james
  • 00:04:28.143 --> 00:04:30.812
  • Is more accurate in this verse when it comes to the greek.
  • 00:04:30.812 --> 00:04:34.816
  • The greek actually says-- in the old king james,
  • 00:04:34.816 --> 00:04:36.885
  • It says this: "in this lay a great multitude
  • 00:04:36.885 --> 00:04:39.488
  • Of impotent people, people without strength."
  • 00:04:39.488 --> 00:04:42.424
  • In the greek, "astheneo," is the word, all right?
  • 00:04:42.424 --> 00:04:46.061
  • "a" is "negate," which is no strength.
  • 00:04:46.061 --> 00:04:49.197
  • People with no strength.
  • 00:04:49.197 --> 00:04:50.532
  • People with disease have no strength.
  • 00:04:50.532 --> 00:04:53.101
  • Impotent people.
  • 00:04:53.101 --> 00:04:54.436
  • And there are three groups of impotent people.
  • 00:04:54.436 --> 00:04:56.505
  • So let's use the old king james again.
  • 00:04:56.505 --> 00:04:58.240
  • In this lay a great multitude of impotent folk:
  • 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.276
  • Of blind, the first category; halt, second category;
  • 00:05:01.276 --> 00:05:05.814
  • Withered, third category.
  • 00:05:05.814 --> 00:05:08.283
  • And if you look at the new king james,
  • 00:05:08.283 --> 00:05:10.419
  • Instead of "withered," it says "paralyzed."
  • 00:05:10.419 --> 00:05:12.220
  • Makes no sense because already you have lame in the center.
  • 00:05:12.220 --> 00:05:14.556
  • Halt is lame.
  • 00:05:14.556 --> 00:05:15.891
  • And then you have paralyzed.
  • 00:05:15.891 --> 00:05:17.225
  • Today we think of paralyzed as pertaining to the legs.
  • 00:05:17.225 --> 00:05:19.294
  • But back then, it is the word "withered,"
  • 00:05:19.294 --> 00:05:21.163
  • Which means the withered hand.
  • 00:05:21.163 --> 00:05:22.964
  • The hand, he cannot work with his hand.
  • 00:05:22.964 --> 00:05:27.102
  • A withered hand, okay?
  • 00:05:27.102 --> 00:05:28.937
  • So the king james is more--
  • 00:05:28.937 --> 00:05:31.273
  • The old king james is more accurate here.
  • 00:05:31.273 --> 00:05:32.908
  • So let's look at this: blind, halt, withered.
  • 00:05:32.908 --> 00:05:35.844
  • And this is a picture of humanity.
  • 00:05:35.844 --> 00:05:37.612
  • This is a picture of mankind.
  • 00:05:37.612 --> 00:05:39.881
  • And god's heart goes out to them.
  • 00:05:39.881 --> 00:05:41.216
  • I said before, why did jesus walk to this place
  • 00:05:41.216 --> 00:05:45.120
  • Where there's a great multitude of the suffering and people
  • 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.223
  • In misery?
  • 00:05:48.223 --> 00:05:49.558
  • Jesus's feet took him straight among the multitude of suffering
  • 00:05:49.558 --> 00:05:54.629
  • And needy humanity.
  • 00:05:54.629 --> 00:05:56.798
  • I love him. don't you just love him?
  • 00:05:56.798 --> 00:06:00.202
  • All right, he came in the midst of suffering humanity.
  • 00:06:00.202 --> 00:06:03.772
  • That's where grace is attracted to.
  • 00:06:03.772 --> 00:06:07.642
  • And just let you know that the man
  • 00:06:07.642 --> 00:06:09.778
  • That he's about to talk to is probably the man
  • 00:06:09.778 --> 00:06:11.947
  • That's the most needy, the most suffering,
  • 00:06:11.947 --> 00:06:14.349
  • And the longest suffering one over there, 38 years.
  • 00:06:14.349 --> 00:06:19.120
  • So, again, grace is attracted to the worst case.
  • 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:25.794
  • God is attracted, he loves, he loves to pour out.
  • 00:06:25.794 --> 00:06:28.930
  • You give him joy. jesus said it like this.
  • 00:06:28.930 --> 00:06:31.099
  • "it is your father's good pleasure
  • 00:06:31.099 --> 00:06:33.702
  • To give you the kingdom."
  • 00:06:33.702 --> 00:06:35.871
  • The day we realize that god wants you healed
  • 00:06:35.871 --> 00:06:40.809
  • More than you want to be healed, healing is not a problem.
  • 00:06:40.809 --> 00:06:46.515
  • You see, we really don't understand
  • 00:06:46.515 --> 00:06:49.484
  • The heart of god.
  • 00:06:49.484 --> 00:06:50.819
  • God loves you just as much.
  • 00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:52.888
  • He knows the numbers of hair on your head.
  • 00:06:52.888 --> 00:06:54.723
  • He knows the pain in your heart.
  • 00:06:54.723 --> 00:06:56.057
  • He knows what keeps you awake at night.
  • 00:06:56.057 --> 00:06:57.926
  • The cares and the worries, he knows about it.
  • 00:06:57.926 --> 00:06:59.661
  • Even if you don't tell your wife, god knows it, amen.
  • 00:06:59.661 --> 00:07:03.031
  • God knows exactly without you even knowing
  • 00:07:03.031 --> 00:07:05.534
  • How to express it to him, and he cares for you.
  • 00:07:05.534 --> 00:07:08.036
  • All i ask of you is that you be conscious that he cares for you,
  • 00:07:08.036 --> 00:07:11.640
  • You be conscious that he knows, and you be conscious
  • 00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:14.009
  • That you have his personal attention.
  • 00:07:14.009 --> 00:07:16.144
  • And all the people said?
  • 00:07:16.144 --> 00:07:17.646
  • Amen. praise the lord.
  • 00:07:17.646 --> 00:07:19.881
  • Give jesus the praise, the glory and the honor, hallelujah.
  • 00:07:19.881 --> 00:07:23.218
  • Blind, three groups, halt, and withered.
  • 00:07:23.218 --> 00:07:26.788
  • In other words, blind is our first condition.
  • 00:07:26.788 --> 00:07:29.024
  • All mankind is blind.
  • 00:07:29.024 --> 00:07:30.625
  • None so blind as those who say they can see, amen?
  • 00:07:30.625 --> 00:07:33.662
  • Like i said, people partying away, having fun,
  • 00:07:33.662 --> 00:07:35.864
  • And next door is the lake of fire.
  • 00:07:35.864 --> 00:07:37.566
  • They act like there's no god.
  • 00:07:37.566 --> 00:07:38.900
  • Even when they attend a funeral, they attend it out of dutifully,
  • 00:07:38.900 --> 00:07:41.937
  • You know, attending because of relatives or friends
  • 00:07:41.937 --> 00:07:44.406
  • Or kind of thing, but they don't like to be there
  • 00:07:44.406 --> 00:07:46.775
  • Because it reminds them of their mortality.
  • 00:07:46.775 --> 00:07:49.644
  • But, friend, let me tell you this.
  • 00:07:49.644 --> 00:07:51.212
  • Why is there mortality? is this god's dream for man?
  • 00:07:51.212 --> 00:07:53.582
  • Did god make man for him to die?
  • 00:07:53.582 --> 00:07:56.117
  • Did god make man and adam and eve
  • 00:07:56.117 --> 00:07:57.852
  • And god says, "adam, you'll be the healthy one.
  • 00:07:57.852 --> 00:07:59.321
  • And, eve, you'll be an example of the sick one"?
  • 00:07:59.321 --> 00:08:01.456
  • No, god made them all healthy.
  • 00:08:01.456 --> 00:08:02.991
  • Would you like to see god's standard?
  • 00:08:02.991 --> 00:08:04.326
  • Just before i step out of here,
  • 00:08:04.326 --> 00:08:05.894
  • All right, god dropped something in my spirit
  • 00:08:05.894 --> 00:08:07.562
  • And told me to tell you all this.
  • 00:08:07.562 --> 00:08:08.964
  • Nothing short of this is his standard.
  • 00:08:08.964 --> 00:08:11.032
  • Would you like to know? would you like to know?
  • 00:08:11.032 --> 00:08:13.668
  • All right, look up here in this verse.
  • 00:08:13.668 --> 00:08:15.136
  • It says here, jesus says, "are you angry at me"--
  • 00:08:15.136 --> 00:08:19.774
  • He told the pharisees--
  • 00:08:19.774 --> 00:08:21.109
  • "because i have made a man every whit whole?"
  • 00:08:21.109 --> 00:08:26.014
  • Every whit whole. i love it.
  • 00:08:26.014 --> 00:08:30.185
  • Every whit whole.
  • 00:08:30.185 --> 00:08:33.154
  • Nothing short of this is his standard.
  • 00:08:33.154 --> 00:08:37.892
  • You think that god just wants to heal your knee.
  • 00:08:37.892 --> 00:08:40.328
  • God just wants to heal your neck, heal your lungs.
  • 00:08:40.328 --> 00:08:43.298
  • No, he wants to make every part of you, every whit, whole.
  • 00:08:43.298 --> 00:08:48.403
  • I love it.
  • 00:08:48.403 --> 00:08:50.005
  • Would you receive this right now, amen?
  • 00:08:50.005 --> 00:08:52.307
  • I don't care about people out there saying,
  • 00:08:52.307 --> 00:08:54.309
  • "oh, he's a prosperity guy,
  • 00:08:54.309 --> 00:08:56.244
  • He's a whatever guy."
  • 00:08:56.244 --> 00:08:57.579
  • Wherever jesus goes, people prosper.
  • 00:08:57.579 --> 00:09:00.148
  • The sick, when they prosper, they get well, amen.
  • 00:09:00.148 --> 00:09:03.485
  • Five loaves, when he touches it, it becomes well, amen?
  • 00:09:03.485 --> 00:09:05.754
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:09:05.754 --> 00:09:07.088
  • So the three groups of impotent, or people without strength,
  • 00:09:07.088 --> 00:09:11.259
  • Represents all humanity.
  • 00:09:11.259 --> 00:09:13.028
  • The first one, they are blind. they are blind to god.
  • 00:09:13.028 --> 00:09:14.863
  • They are blind to his-- blind in their hearts,
  • 00:09:14.863 --> 00:09:17.565
  • Blind in their minds, okay?
  • 00:09:17.565 --> 00:09:19.534
  • The second one is they cannot walk.
  • 00:09:19.534 --> 00:09:21.403
  • They cannot walk for god. they cannot walk in the spirit.
  • 00:09:21.403 --> 00:09:25.840
  • They cannot walk.
  • 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.542
  • And behind every physical, there is a spiritual meaning--
  • 00:09:27.542 --> 00:09:32.447
  • All right?-- that god wants us to learn.
  • 00:09:32.447 --> 00:09:33.815
  • Yes, god wants to heal you physically,
  • 00:09:33.815 --> 00:09:35.350
  • But more important than that, god is after your spirit sight.
  • 00:09:35.350 --> 00:09:38.553
  • Because long before you had a sickness--all right?--
  • 00:09:38.553 --> 00:09:40.989
  • There's something happening in the spirit.
  • 00:09:40.989 --> 00:09:43.725
  • You listening, people? and the answer in the spirit.
  • 00:09:43.725 --> 00:09:46.528
  • So watch this.
  • 00:09:46.528 --> 00:09:47.996
  • A leper is more than just a leper in the gospels.
  • 00:09:47.996 --> 00:09:50.765
  • A leper represents sin.
  • 00:09:50.765 --> 00:09:53.268
  • So when jesus cleansed the leper,
  • 00:09:53.268 --> 00:09:54.836
  • It's his power to forgive sins.
  • 00:09:54.836 --> 00:09:57.172
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:09:57.172 --> 00:09:58.540
  • Sometimes it doesn't even differentiate
  • 00:09:58.540 --> 00:10:00.909
  • Between forgiveness of sins and healing of the body.
  • 00:10:00.909 --> 00:10:03.645
  • But let's take all that god has, okay?
  • 00:10:03.645 --> 00:10:06.247
  • Some people, when they teach this,
  • 00:10:06.247 --> 00:10:07.582
  • They only teach the spiritual side--
  • 00:10:07.582 --> 00:10:08.917
  • That god wants to heal our moral failures
  • 00:10:08.917 --> 00:10:11.553
  • And falling and all that-- but it's more than that.
  • 00:10:11.553 --> 00:10:14.756
  • Singaporeans, if you see $50 and $100,
  • 00:10:14.756 --> 00:10:21.129
  • Which one do you pick?
  • 00:10:21.129 --> 00:10:22.597
  • Both.
  • 00:10:22.597 --> 00:10:24.566
  • Spoken like a true singaporean.
  • 00:10:24.566 --> 00:10:26.735
  • Let's not just go for the spiritual.
  • 00:10:26.735 --> 00:10:29.471
  • Let's go for the physical as well, amen?
  • 00:10:29.471 --> 00:10:33.641
  • Jesus did make people well physically.
  • 00:10:33.641 --> 00:10:36.311
  • Even though there's a spiritual truth,
  • 00:10:36.311 --> 00:10:38.279
  • He is endeavoring to bring a cross for those who observe
  • 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.416
  • Because every miracle, in the book of john especially,
  • 00:10:41.416 --> 00:10:44.319
  • Is a sign, is a parable in action, amen?
  • 00:10:44.319 --> 00:10:49.758
  • So when you're blind, you can't walk,
  • 00:10:49.758 --> 00:10:53.294
  • You can't walk, you can't work.
  • 00:10:53.294 --> 00:10:55.029
  • Withered means withered hand, right?
  • 00:10:55.029 --> 00:10:58.967
  • And god put work last.
  • 00:10:58.967 --> 00:11:03.705
  • The church put works first. but revelation happens first.
  • 00:11:03.705 --> 00:11:09.778
  • When you see right, you believe right.
  • 00:11:09.778 --> 00:11:12.080
  • When you believe right, you walk right.
  • 00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:13.982
  • When you walk right, you will work right.
  • 00:11:13.982 --> 00:11:16.885
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:11:16.885 --> 00:11:18.219
  • By the way, i was reading this one day,
  • 00:11:18.219 --> 00:11:20.188
  • And the lord dropped this in my heart.
  • 00:11:20.188 --> 00:11:21.656
  • All three are healed on the sabbath.
  • 00:11:21.656 --> 00:11:24.893
  • All three.
  • 00:11:24.893 --> 00:11:26.227
  • Then i started studying it. he said, "blind."
  • 00:11:26.227 --> 00:11:28.530
  • I said, "yeah, they're blind men," right?
  • 00:11:28.530 --> 00:11:30.131
  • In the gospel of john in chapter 9,
  • 00:11:30.131 --> 00:11:31.966
  • Jesus healed the blind man on the sabbath.
  • 00:11:31.966 --> 00:11:33.668
  • "now it was the sabbath when jesus made the clay
  • 00:11:33.668 --> 00:11:36.538
  • And opened his eyes."
  • 00:11:36.538 --> 00:11:38.406
  • So the blind is healed on the sabbath.
  • 00:11:38.406 --> 00:11:39.874
  • Then the halt.
  • 00:11:39.874 --> 00:11:41.209
  • The halt, back to john chapter 5.
  • 00:11:41.209 --> 00:11:43.244
  • The halt is in this very same chapter
  • 00:11:43.244 --> 00:11:44.879
  • We read just now, the man who was lame,
  • 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:47.949
  • Impotent in his feet for 38 years.
  • 00:11:47.949 --> 00:11:49.984
  • Jesus healed him on the sabbath.
  • 00:11:49.984 --> 00:11:52.654
  • And the last one, withered hand, also on the sabbath.
  • 00:11:52.654 --> 00:11:55.523
  • I want to read this passage because there's something
  • 00:11:55.523 --> 00:11:57.425
  • I just wanna share with you.
  • 00:11:57.425 --> 00:11:58.760
  • Matthew 10--12, "and behold, there was a man who had
  • 00:11:58.760 --> 00:12:01.830
  • A withered hand."
  • 00:12:01.830 --> 00:12:03.164
  • Say, "withered hand."
  • 00:12:03.164 --> 00:12:04.499
  • Same greek word as the one, withered hand,
  • 00:12:04.499 --> 00:12:05.834
  • Just now.
  • 00:12:05.834 --> 00:12:07.168
  • Withered, all right?
  • 00:12:07.168 --> 00:12:08.503
  • "and they asked him, saying, 'is it lawful?'"
  • 00:12:08.503 --> 00:12:10.138
  • The pharisees, the religious leaders--
  • 00:12:10.138 --> 00:12:11.806
  • You see how religious people can become?
  • 00:12:11.806 --> 00:12:13.575
  • They asked jesus this question.
  • 00:12:13.575 --> 00:12:14.909
  • "is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?"
  • 00:12:14.909 --> 00:12:17.078
  • They didn't ask him, "can you heal?"
  • 00:12:17.078 --> 00:12:19.881
  • They knew he can.
  • 00:12:19.881 --> 00:12:21.950
  • They asked him, "'is it right to do it on a sabbath day?'--
  • 00:12:21.950 --> 00:12:25.320
  • That they might accuse him."
  • 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:31.359
  • Okay, then jesus said-- drop down--
  • 00:12:31.359 --> 00:12:33.628
  • "what man is there among you who has one sheep,
  • 00:12:33.628 --> 00:12:36.264
  • And if it falls into a pit on the sabbath,
  • 00:12:36.264 --> 00:12:38.399
  • Will not lay hold of it and lift it out?
  • 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.135
  • Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep?
  • 00:12:41.135 --> 00:12:45.573
  • Therefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath."
  • 00:12:45.573 --> 00:12:47.609
  • Listen, when people are sick-- all right?--don't ask, okay,
  • 00:12:47.609 --> 00:12:52.180
  • "it's their fault."
  • 00:12:52.180 --> 00:12:53.514
  • Don't ask, "whose fault is it? whose sin is it?"
  • 00:12:53.514 --> 00:12:55.350
  • Now we're about to see that sometimes sin,
  • 00:12:55.350 --> 00:12:57.886
  • Like a sinful action or whatever, can cause--
  • 00:12:57.886 --> 00:13:00.288
  • Like, you keep on smoking-- amen?--
  • 00:13:00.288 --> 00:13:01.990
  • It's a sin against your body, amen.
  • 00:13:01.990 --> 00:13:05.560
  • God gave you a body.
  • 00:13:05.560 --> 00:13:07.161
  • You only have one house you live in.
  • 00:13:07.161 --> 00:13:08.763
  • Take care of your house.
  • 00:13:08.763 --> 00:13:10.131
  • It's the only house you have, you know?
  • 00:13:10.131 --> 00:13:14.969
  • You keep on smoking--right?--
  • 00:13:14.969 --> 00:13:17.238
  • You're going to have disease in your body.
  • 00:13:17.238 --> 00:13:18.740
  • Now, is that a result of sin or god cursing you?
  • 00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:22.510
  • Of course it's a result of sin, right?
  • 00:13:22.510 --> 00:13:25.013
  • But it's not right.
  • 00:13:25.013 --> 00:13:26.347
  • Like jesus told his disciples when they saw the blind man
  • 00:13:26.347 --> 00:13:29.817
  • Blind from his mother's womb, from birth.
  • 00:13:29.817 --> 00:13:33.221
  • They asked, "did this man sin or his parents sin?"
  • 00:13:33.221 --> 00:13:37.292
  • Jesus says, "neither."
  • 00:13:37.292 --> 00:13:39.560
  • Now, the funny thing is that he was born blind.
  • 00:13:39.560 --> 00:13:42.030
  • How can he sin to be born blind?
  • 00:13:42.030 --> 00:13:45.934
  • Did he kick his mother's womb too hard?
  • 00:13:45.934 --> 00:13:48.736
  • His parents sin, i understand.
  • 00:13:48.736 --> 00:13:50.071
  • But anyway, you know, don't ask these questions.
  • 00:13:50.071 --> 00:13:52.674
  • The lord says, "don't ask these questions.
  • 00:13:52.674 --> 00:13:54.475
  • But i am the light of the world. he's in darkness.
  • 00:13:54.475 --> 00:13:57.612
  • I'm gonna open up his eyes." that's all you need to know.
  • 00:13:57.612 --> 00:14:00.381
  • The need exists for grace to meet it.
  • 00:14:00.381 --> 00:14:03.318
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:14:03.318 --> 00:14:04.652
  • All right? so watch this now.
  • 00:14:04.652 --> 00:14:07.088
  • Jesus considers people who are sick
  • 00:14:07.088 --> 00:14:10.124
  • As like a sheep that fell into a pit.
  • 00:14:10.124 --> 00:14:13.795
  • What a compassionate view
  • 00:14:13.795 --> 00:14:16.230
  • Instead of that "well, you know what?
  • 00:14:16.230 --> 00:14:17.899
  • Serves him right. now his lungs are like that.
  • 00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:19.534
  • Keep on smoking all the time."
  • 00:14:19.534 --> 00:14:21.336
  • But jesus sees people who are sick
  • 00:14:21.336 --> 00:14:24.339
  • As falling into a pit.
  • 00:14:24.339 --> 00:14:27.175
  • When a sheep falls into a pit,
  • 00:14:27.175 --> 00:14:29.477
  • You don't stand on there and say, "serves you right."
  • 00:14:29.477 --> 00:14:32.613
  • No, you retrieve it. you recover it.
  • 00:14:32.613 --> 00:14:36.684
  • So jesus told the pharisees,
  • 00:14:36.684 --> 00:14:38.119
  • "it's like a sheep that fell into a pit.
  • 00:14:38.119 --> 00:14:39.821
  • Will you not lay hold of it and lift it out?
  • 00:14:39.821 --> 00:14:41.756
  • Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep?
  • 00:14:41.756 --> 00:14:44.926
  • Therefore it is lawful to do good."
  • 00:14:44.926 --> 00:14:46.260
  • Now drop down.
  • 00:14:46.260 --> 00:14:47.595
  • "then he said to the man, 'stretch out your hand.'"
  • 00:14:47.595 --> 00:14:49.931
  • Now, in luke's gospel, luke is a doctor,
  • 00:14:49.931 --> 00:14:54.102
  • And he's the only gentile of all the writers.
  • 00:14:54.102 --> 00:14:59.040
  • Luke, who as a doctor, says, "it was his right hand."
  • 00:14:59.040 --> 00:15:02.677
  • Now the right hand means is a means of livelihood.
  • 00:15:02.677 --> 00:15:06.280
  • It's his business.
  • 00:15:06.280 --> 00:15:07.615
  • You do work with your right hand, right?
  • 00:15:07.615 --> 00:15:09.083
  • Most of you, your right hand doesn't mean--
  • 00:15:09.083 --> 00:15:10.418
  • By the way, "benjamin" means son of my right hand, okay?
  • 00:15:10.418 --> 00:15:14.122
  • So when jesus restored his hand--this is amazing--
  • 00:15:14.122 --> 00:15:18.126
  • That means he gave him back his livelihood.
  • 00:15:18.126 --> 00:15:20.461
  • It's more than just a physical healing.
  • 00:15:20.461 --> 00:15:22.230
  • "then he stretched it out and it was restored
  • 00:15:22.230 --> 00:15:24.799
  • As whole as the other."
  • 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:26.134
  • Then the pharisees rejoiced
  • 00:15:26.134 --> 00:15:27.502
  • And brought other sick people there that he might heal them.
  • 00:15:27.502 --> 00:15:32.640
  • Back to john 5. okay, praise god.
  • 00:15:32.640 --> 00:15:34.742
  • So, they were waiting for the moving of the water.
  • 00:15:34.742 --> 00:15:36.844
  • What a picture, what a picture we have here--and a sad one.
  • 00:15:36.844 --> 00:15:43.985
  • We have a multitude of people that are sick.
  • 00:15:43.985 --> 00:15:46.521
  • They are waiting for the spectacular.
  • 00:15:46.521 --> 00:15:48.856
  • They are waiting for the moving of the water
  • 00:15:48.856 --> 00:15:51.192
  • When right in their midst is the savior,
  • 00:15:51.192 --> 00:15:53.895
  • The great physician.
  • 00:15:53.895 --> 00:15:55.596
  • They are waiting because all the hopes and aspirations
  • 00:15:55.596 --> 00:15:57.865
  • Of jewish people is to wait for the messiah to come, amen?
  • 00:15:57.865 --> 00:16:01.502
  • They are waiting for the messiah.
  • 00:16:01.502 --> 00:16:03.571
  • Their posture is that of waiting.
  • 00:16:03.571 --> 00:16:05.406
  • But there he was, already in their midst.
  • 00:16:05.406 --> 00:16:08.709
  • I mean, see bethesda greatly surrounded
  • 00:16:08.709 --> 00:16:13.681
  • And see jesus completely unheeded.
  • 00:16:13.681 --> 00:16:19.620
  • What a sad picture.
  • 00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:21.422
  • Could it be that we can actually be involved in religion,
  • 00:16:21.422 --> 00:16:26.727
  • Christian religion, and yet miss the savior in our midst?
  • 00:16:26.727 --> 00:16:32.900
  • So they are waiting for the moving of the water.
  • 00:16:32.900 --> 00:16:34.435
  • Verse 4, we know the angel comes down and whoever.
  • 00:16:34.435 --> 00:16:36.838
  • See, verse 4 tells us that you need strength
  • 00:16:36.838 --> 00:16:40.274
  • To partake of this healing.
  • 00:16:40.274 --> 00:16:42.210
  • You need to be able to get up, okay?
  • 00:16:42.210 --> 00:16:44.946
  • Watch this. watch this.
  • 00:16:44.946 --> 00:16:46.347
  • Number one, you must see the stirring of the water.
  • 00:16:46.347 --> 00:16:49.584
  • But if you are blind, how to see?
  • 00:16:49.584 --> 00:16:52.620
  • Number two, whoever steps in first.
  • 00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:55.656
  • It's not for everybody.
  • 00:16:55.656 --> 00:16:56.991
  • Whoever steps in first will get well.
  • 00:16:56.991 --> 00:16:59.427
  • Now, but if you are lame, how to step in?
  • 00:16:59.427 --> 00:17:04.198
  • So back to the guy, he was like this for 38 years.
  • 00:17:04.198 --> 00:17:07.735
  • Jesus came just on time. it's a picture of israel.
  • 00:17:07.735 --> 00:17:10.605
  • Then jesus asked him.
  • 00:17:10.605 --> 00:17:11.939
  • Don't forget: jesus asked him first.
  • 00:17:11.939 --> 00:17:14.876
  • Jesus always initiates. man doesn't.
  • 00:17:14.876 --> 00:17:18.613
  • "when jesus saw him lying there,
  • 00:17:18.613 --> 00:17:20.181
  • And knew that he already had been in that condition
  • 00:17:20.181 --> 00:17:22.216
  • For a long time, jesus asked him."
  • 00:17:22.216 --> 00:17:24.719
  • So jesus knew that he has been like this for 38 years.
  • 00:17:24.719 --> 00:17:27.021
  • Jesus knew.
  • 00:17:27.021 --> 00:17:28.356
  • Jesus saw him lie, and jesus knew.
  • 00:17:28.356 --> 00:17:30.691
  • "and jesus asked him, 'do you want to be made well?
  • 00:17:30.691 --> 00:17:34.095
  • Do you want to be made well?'"
  • 00:17:34.095 --> 00:17:37.398
  • What a question. what a strange question.
  • 00:17:37.398 --> 00:17:40.701
  • The guy is there, near the water,
  • 00:17:40.701 --> 00:17:43.304
  • And obviously he's there,
  • 00:17:43.304 --> 00:17:44.972
  • And jesus knew he has been there for 38 years,
  • 00:17:44.972 --> 00:17:47.842
  • Suffering from the condition for that long.
  • 00:17:47.842 --> 00:17:49.944
  • And he asked him the question "do you want to be made well?"
  • 00:17:49.944 --> 00:17:52.980
  • Why?
  • 00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:54.448
  • You know, it's not a strange question
  • 00:17:54.448 --> 00:17:56.551
  • As we think it is.
  • 00:17:56.551 --> 00:17:57.885
  • When you think of the fact that there are people
  • 00:17:57.885 --> 00:17:59.487
  • Who get accustomed to their bondage
  • 00:17:59.487 --> 00:18:02.990
  • Or to their sickness or to their addiction--
  • 00:18:02.990 --> 00:18:06.627
  • That, for them, that is normal.
  • 00:18:06.627 --> 00:18:10.198
  • They will forget what it is to be well.
  • 00:18:10.198 --> 00:18:13.301
  • And don't forget:
  • 00:18:13.301 --> 00:18:14.635
  • Maybe if this guy needs to go to the restroom,
  • 00:18:14.635 --> 00:18:16.971
  • I believe there are people who carry him.
  • 00:18:16.971 --> 00:18:20.241
  • He's used to being carried.
  • 00:18:20.241 --> 00:18:22.343
  • After a while, it gets pretty comfortable.
  • 00:18:22.343 --> 00:18:26.414
  • Jesus says to you: don't forget the standard,
  • 00:18:26.414 --> 00:18:28.316
  • Every whit whole, do you want to be made well?
  • 00:18:28.316 --> 00:18:34.522
  • That's all jesus asks.
  • 00:18:34.522 --> 00:18:37.491
  • So if jesus appears to you right now and asks you,
  • 00:18:37.491 --> 00:18:40.027
  • "do you want to be made well?"
  • 00:18:40.027 --> 00:18:43.431
  • What do you say? yes!
  • 00:18:43.431 --> 00:18:47.735
  • Look at this guy's answer.
  • 00:18:47.735 --> 00:18:49.804
  • "the sick man answered him, 'sir, i have no man.'"
  • 00:18:49.804 --> 00:18:54.709
  • So all the while--
  • 00:18:54.709 --> 00:18:56.877
  • By the way, he didn't know who jesus was, right?
  • 00:18:56.877 --> 00:18:59.580
  • His eye is not on jesus.
  • 00:18:59.580 --> 00:19:01.716
  • Sometimes we know about jesus and jesus talks to us,
  • 00:19:01.716 --> 00:19:04.619
  • But our eye is not on him.
  • 00:19:04.619 --> 00:19:05.987
  • Even right now, jesus is talking to you,
  • 00:19:05.987 --> 00:19:07.755
  • But your eye may not be on him.
  • 00:19:07.755 --> 00:19:09.090
  • Your eye is on the means, the water.
  • 00:19:09.090 --> 00:19:12.893
  • Never cause something of jesus to become separate from him.
  • 00:19:12.893 --> 00:19:17.265
  • Can i say something about healing?
  • 00:19:17.265 --> 00:19:18.733
  • Sometimes healing is easier than we think.
  • 00:19:18.733 --> 00:19:22.303
  • We complicate it.
  • 00:19:22.303 --> 00:19:25.473
  • Then another thing is that his eye is also on himself.
  • 00:19:25.473 --> 00:19:30.011
  • He says that "i have no man to put me into the pool
  • 00:19:30.011 --> 00:19:32.580
  • When the water is stirred up; but while i am coming,
  • 00:19:32.580 --> 00:19:36.984
  • Another steps down before me."
  • 00:19:36.984 --> 00:19:39.587
  • So while he's scooting, all right, he can't walk, right?
  • 00:19:39.587 --> 00:19:41.555
  • He's scooting.
  • 00:19:41.555 --> 00:19:42.890
  • "while i'm coming, while i'm coming."
  • 00:19:42.890 --> 00:19:44.258
  • In other words, his eye is on his action.
  • 00:19:44.258 --> 00:19:46.761
  • "i can't scoot fast enough to go to the water."
  • 00:19:46.761 --> 00:19:52.800
  • His eye is also on himself. can you see that?
  • 00:19:52.800 --> 00:20:02.143
  • Eye on anything else but jesus.
  • 00:20:02.143 --> 00:20:06.947
  • There are people who are so weak in themselves.
  • 00:20:06.947 --> 00:20:09.050
  • You know what they say?
  • 00:20:09.050 --> 00:20:10.718
  • Today they are so transformed. and i hear their testimonies.
  • 00:20:10.718 --> 00:20:13.254
  • All they say is this, "jesus keeps on telling me,
  • 00:20:13.254 --> 00:20:15.756
  • 'don't worry about having faith. just look at me.
  • 00:20:15.756 --> 00:20:19.994
  • Don't worry about trying to be transformed.
  • 00:20:19.994 --> 00:20:23.764
  • Don't try to change yourself. just look at me.
  • 00:20:23.764 --> 00:20:27.768
  • Don't worry about not having enough faith
  • 00:20:27.768 --> 00:20:31.405
  • To believe me for.
  • 00:20:31.405 --> 00:20:32.973
  • Just look at me.'"
  • 00:20:32.973 --> 00:20:37.878
  • I'm gonna tell you something right now.
  • 00:20:37.878 --> 00:20:39.680
  • This man does not know who jesus is.
  • 00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:41.882
  • The next words of jesus with authority and power,
  • 00:20:41.882 --> 00:20:46.087
  • Jesus said to him, "rise, take up your bed and walk."
  • 00:20:46.087 --> 00:20:54.428
  • Now in hebrew, "kumi," arise. take up your bed and walk.
  • 00:20:54.428 --> 00:21:01.035
  • Why take up your bed?
  • 00:21:01.035 --> 00:21:03.070
  • By the way, you know he cannot rise, right?
  • 00:21:03.070 --> 00:21:04.805
  • Thirty eight years, he cannot rise.
  • 00:21:04.805 --> 00:21:07.174
  • But there's authority in the words.
  • 00:21:07.174 --> 00:21:08.509
  • When you start acting upon his word, power comes.
  • 00:21:08.509 --> 00:21:15.082
  • It's like faith.
  • 00:21:15.082 --> 00:21:16.684
  • It's like a fire, a spark that's on the powder cake of healing.
  • 00:21:16.684 --> 00:21:21.122
  • When you act, boom...
  • 00:21:21.122 --> 00:21:22.523
  • It doesn't happen when you just pray.
  • 00:21:22.523 --> 00:21:24.125
  • You say, "father, heal me, father, heal me"--
  • 00:21:24.125 --> 00:21:26.060
  • All right?--just take communion and all that.
  • 00:21:26.060 --> 00:21:27.595
  • It's what you do after that.
  • 00:21:27.595 --> 00:21:28.929
  • You gotta rise and act like you are healed.
  • 00:21:28.929 --> 00:21:35.069
  • Get up, rise, amen?
  • 00:21:35.069 --> 00:21:37.338
  • Act young, act strong, act well, and you will be well.
  • 00:21:37.338 --> 00:21:42.676
  • Amen, amen! ask your--amen!
  • 00:21:42.676 --> 00:21:47.248
  • Come on, give him praise! take a praise break, hallelujah.
  • 00:21:47.248 --> 00:21:51.185
  • Praise the lord, amen! that is what is lacking.
  • 00:21:51.185 --> 00:21:56.457
  • Many a times, my wife will also help me to remind me, all right,
  • 00:21:56.457 --> 00:22:01.429
  • "god has healed you."
  • 00:22:01.429 --> 00:22:02.763
  • "god is--" you know, we gotta help each other.
  • 00:22:02.763 --> 00:22:05.566
  • What would you do? this is a good question to ask.
  • 00:22:05.566 --> 00:22:07.902
  • What would you do if you are well?
  • 00:22:07.902 --> 00:22:09.937
  • "well, i think i will go to the gym."
  • 00:22:09.937 --> 00:22:12.106
  • Start doing it.
  • 00:22:12.106 --> 00:22:14.275
  • "well, i'll go to the gym when i'm well."
  • 00:22:14.275 --> 00:22:18.446
  • And then because you don't go to the gym,
  • 00:22:18.446 --> 00:22:20.147
  • You become more unwell.
  • 00:22:20.147 --> 00:22:21.949
  • Now you are unwell-er
  • 00:22:21.949 --> 00:22:24.518
  • Because you didn't go and exercise.
  • 00:22:24.518 --> 00:22:26.420
  • "but one day, pastor prince, i'll do a brisk walk
  • 00:22:26.420 --> 00:22:28.556
  • When i am well."
  • 00:22:28.556 --> 00:22:29.890
  • But then, you've been asking god to heal you
  • 00:22:29.890 --> 00:22:31.625
  • And never start walking.
  • 00:22:31.625 --> 00:22:32.960
  • Friend, all three--
  • 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:36.163
  • The blind, the lame, and the withered hand--
  • 00:22:36.163 --> 00:22:42.903
  • Jesus healed them all on a sabbath.
  • 00:22:42.903 --> 00:22:46.073
  • Could it be that, when we are out of rest, we become blind?
  • 00:22:46.073 --> 00:22:53.214
  • It affects our walk? it affects our work?
  • 00:22:53.214 --> 00:22:58.252
  • Could it be that the first thing the devil attacks is your rest,
  • 00:22:58.252 --> 00:23:03.891
  • To move you out of rest?
  • 00:23:03.891 --> 00:23:06.227
  • Because jesus healed all three on the sabbath.
  • 00:23:06.227 --> 00:23:08.762
  • Now you can walk because you have been cured.
  • 00:23:08.762 --> 00:23:12.132

  • From pastor joseph prince.

  • Joseph prince: lift your hands all across this place.
  • 00:23:42.796 --> 00:23:47.034
  • The same god who spoke to that impotent man and said,
  • 00:23:47.034 --> 00:23:52.540
  • "rise," it's the same god who tells you,
  • 00:23:52.540 --> 00:23:55.543
  • "rise out of your addictions.
  • 00:23:55.543 --> 00:23:57.811
  • Rise out of your bondage. rise out of your bad habits.
  • 00:23:57.811 --> 00:24:03.083
  • Rise out of your sickness.
  • 00:24:03.083 --> 00:24:05.519
  • Rise out of that chronic condition
  • 00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:08.956
  • And begin to walk."
  • 00:24:08.956 --> 00:24:11.058
  • That same walk that you dreamed that you would walk in,
  • 00:24:11.058 --> 00:24:14.795
  • Now you have it.
  • 00:24:14.795 --> 00:24:16.130
  • Start acting like it.
  • 00:24:16.130 --> 00:24:17.731
  • Walk out of this place blessed, favored, prosperous, amen.
  • 00:24:17.731 --> 00:24:23.771
