>> joseph prince: is it
00:00:12.889 --> 00:00:13.490
>> joseph prince: is it important for us to believe
00:00:13.556 --> 00:00:14.324
Important for us to believe or not believe?
00:00:14.390 --> 00:00:15.592
Or not believe? does it matter, pastor,
00:00:15.658 --> 00:00:16.292
Does it matter, pastor, if i believe?
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:16.926
If i believe? it matters because your spirit,
00:00:16.993 --> 00:00:19.062
It matters because your spirit, you don't even realize it,
00:00:19.129 --> 00:00:20.263
You don't even realize it, your spirit is open
00:00:20.330 --> 00:00:22.465
Your spirit is open when you believe that
00:00:22.532 --> 00:00:24.601
When you believe that god wants you to have it,
00:00:24.667 --> 00:00:26.369
God wants you to have it, god wants to prosper you,

God wants to prosper you, your spirit is open.
00:00:27.737 --> 00:00:28.805
Your spirit is open. that's the faith realm and
00:00:28.872 --> 00:00:30.073
That's the faith realm and you begin to see breakthroughs
00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:31.407
You begin to see breakthroughs after breakthroughs,
00:00:31.474 --> 00:00:32.442
After breakthroughs, miracle after miracle,
00:00:32.509 --> 00:00:33.543
Miracle after miracle, blessings of the blessings, when
00:00:33.610 --> 00:00:34.911
Blessings of the blessings, when in the natural there's none.
00:00:34.978 --> 00:00:35.879
In the natural there's none. god calls those things that are
00:00:35.945 --> 00:00:37.447
God calls those things that are not in the physical realm yet,
00:00:37.514 --> 00:00:40.049
Not in the physical realm yet, as though they are there.
00:00:40.116 --> 00:00:41.584
As though they are there. amen.
00:00:41.651 --> 00:00:42.218

Every area of your life. where really matters number one,
00:00:45.088 --> 00:00:46.256
Where really matters number one, relationship with god.
00:00:46.322 --> 00:00:48.124
Relationship with god. you are the righteousness of god
00:00:48.191 --> 00:00:49.025
You are the righteousness of god in christ.

When the world is going through a time of famine.

You can have strong confidence in your heavenly father's

Here is pastor joseph prince with today's program.
00:01:13.483 --> 00:01:14.918
With today's program. >> joseph prince: i was reading
00:01:14.984 --> 00:01:15.718
>> joseph prince: i was reading a book and i came across
00:01:15.785 --> 00:01:17.320
A book and i came across this verse.
00:01:17.387 --> 00:01:18.588
This verse. i think probably one
00:01:18.655 --> 00:01:19.589
I think probably one of the first times
00:01:19.656 --> 00:01:20.223
Of the first times i came across that verse.
00:01:20.290 --> 00:01:21.491
I came across that verse. i was a very young man then.
00:01:21.558 --> 00:01:22.692
I was a very young man then. and it says, "and joseph
00:01:22.759 --> 00:01:24.160
And it says, "and joseph was sold into egypt
00:01:24.227 --> 00:01:25.828
Was sold into egypt and potiphar bought him."
00:01:25.895 --> 00:01:27.564
And potiphar bought him." he was a slave.
00:01:27.630 --> 00:01:29.599
And it says,
00:01:29.666 --> 00:01:30.233
And it says, "joseph was a prosperous man
00:01:30.300 --> 00:01:32.902
"joseph was a prosperous man and all that he did,
00:01:32.969 --> 00:01:34.704
And all that he did, god made him to prosper."
00:01:34.771 --> 00:01:36.906
God made him to prosper." maybe i like that verse
00:01:36.973 --> 00:01:38.007
Maybe i like that verse when i read it because
00:01:38.074 --> 00:01:38.875
When i read it because it's the same name, all right.
00:01:38.942 --> 00:01:42.412
It's the same name, all right. so i said that, wow, it began
00:01:42.478 --> 00:01:45.281
So i said that, wow, it began to occur to me, wait a minute,
00:01:45.348 --> 00:01:46.516
To occur to me, wait a minute, whatever that means for this
00:01:46.583 --> 00:01:49.686
Whatever that means for this joseph in the bible, i want it.
00:01:49.752 --> 00:01:52.789
Joseph in the bible, i want it. you can say whatever you want,
00:01:52.855 --> 00:01:54.891
You can say whatever you want, god is not for prosperity,
00:01:54.958 --> 00:01:56.259
God is not for prosperity, health-wealth gospel, all that.
00:01:56.326 --> 00:01:57.660
Health-wealth gospel, all that. you can say whatever you want,
00:01:57.727 --> 00:01:59.329
You can say whatever you want, but when the bible talks
00:01:59.395 --> 00:02:00.196
But when the bible talks about that, i want that.
00:02:00.263 --> 00:02:01.464
About that, i want that. do you want that?
00:02:01.531 --> 00:02:02.832
Do you want that? he was a prosperous man
00:02:02.899 --> 00:02:05.101
He was a prosperous man and whatever he did,
00:02:05.168 --> 00:02:06.202
And whatever he did, god made it to prosper.
00:02:06.269 --> 00:02:07.337
God made it to prosper. oh, pastor, that means
00:02:07.403 --> 00:02:09.505
Oh, pastor, that means everything joseph did,
00:02:09.572 --> 00:02:11.541
Everything joseph did, it prospered spiritually
00:02:11.608 --> 00:02:13.343
It prospered spiritually in the spiritual world.
00:02:13.409 --> 00:02:14.377
In the spiritual world. or if it is, i take that.
00:02:14.444 --> 00:02:16.179
Or if it is, i take that. can i?
00:02:16.246 --> 00:02:17.447
Can i? but you know, it doesn't stand
00:02:17.513 --> 00:02:19.916
But you know, it doesn't stand to reason that it is spiritual
00:02:19.983 --> 00:02:21.351
To reason that it is spiritual prosperity because
00:02:21.417 --> 00:02:24.020
Prosperity because the bible says, "potiphar saw."
00:02:24.087 --> 00:02:26.122
The bible says, "potiphar saw." potiphar is a heathen,
00:02:26.189 --> 00:02:28.691
Potiphar is a heathen, as heathen as heathen can be.
00:02:28.758 --> 00:02:30.560
As heathen as heathen can be. and he saw that the lord
00:02:30.627 --> 00:02:33.396
And he saw that the lord was with joseph.
00:02:33.463 --> 00:02:34.897
Was with joseph. he saw.
00:02:34.964 --> 00:02:36.799
He saw. i said, saw the lord
00:02:36.866 --> 00:02:38.768
I said, saw the lord was with joseph.
00:02:38.835 --> 00:02:40.069
Was with joseph. and what he did,
00:02:40.136 --> 00:02:41.504
And what he did, god made it to prosper.
00:02:41.571 --> 00:02:42.872
God made it to prosper. so maybe as he plants the crops,
00:02:42.939 --> 00:02:44.474
So maybe as he plants the crops, his crops are all bumper crops.
00:02:44.540 --> 00:02:46.709
His crops are all bumper crops. as he takes care of
00:02:46.776 --> 00:02:48.611
As he takes care of the servants, whatever
00:02:48.678 --> 00:02:49.445
The servants, whatever new assignment he takes care
00:02:49.512 --> 00:02:50.413
New assignment he takes care of the servants, the servants
00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:51.381
Of the servants, the servants are now highly motivated.
00:02:51.447 --> 00:02:52.982
Are now highly motivated. whatever he did, he prospered.
00:02:53.049 --> 00:02:54.684
Whatever he did, he prospered. and his boss then,
00:02:54.751 --> 00:02:56.686
And his boss then, potiphar, noticed that.
00:02:56.753 --> 00:02:58.755
Potiphar, noticed that. finally he put him in charge
00:02:58.821 --> 00:03:00.556
Finally he put him in charge of everything.
00:03:00.623 --> 00:03:01.491
Of everything. i want that, i want that.
00:03:01.557 --> 00:03:04.260
I want that, i want that. is it okay?
00:03:04.327 --> 00:03:05.161
Is it okay? that i can be a blessing.
00:03:05.228 --> 00:03:06.729
That i can be a blessing. now, was that a curse to joseph?
00:03:06.796 --> 00:03:08.498
Now, was that a curse to joseph? no, it was preparing him for
00:03:08.564 --> 00:03:09.799
No, it was preparing him for the ministry that god has that
00:03:09.866 --> 00:03:11.434
The ministry that god has that he will save many people alive.
00:03:11.501 --> 00:03:15.838
He will save many people alive. friend, your relationship with
00:03:15.905 --> 00:03:17.240
Friend, your relationship with god is number one, prosperity.
00:03:17.307 --> 00:03:18.908
God is number one, prosperity. your relationship with god
00:03:18.975 --> 00:03:21.077
Your relationship with god is number one, prosperity.
00:03:21.144 --> 00:03:24.447
Is number one, prosperity. to be right with god,
00:03:24.514 --> 00:03:26.082
To be right with god, would you say that's prosperous?
00:03:26.149 --> 00:03:28.084
Would you say that's prosperous? a true prosperous man?
00:03:28.151 --> 00:03:29.319
A true prosperous man? and that's what we receive,
00:03:29.385 --> 00:03:30.019
And that's what we receive, amen.
00:03:30.086 --> 00:03:31.054
Amen. we are now the righteousness
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:31.954
We are now the righteousness of god in christ.
00:03:32.021 --> 00:03:33.856
Of god in christ. "for god made jesus to be sin
00:03:33.923 --> 00:03:35.358
"for god made jesus to be sin for us at the cross he who knew
00:03:35.425 --> 00:03:37.293
For us at the cross he who knew no sin, that we might be made
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:38.728
No sin, that we might be made the righteousness of god
00:03:38.795 --> 00:03:40.330
The righteousness of god in him."
00:03:40.396 --> 00:03:41.297
In him." it's a gift.
00:03:41.364 --> 00:03:42.198
It's a gift. i didn't do anything
00:03:42.265 --> 00:03:42.965
I didn't do anything to be righteous.
00:03:43.032 --> 00:03:44.133
To be righteous. jesus didn't do anything
00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:44.901
Jesus didn't do anything to become sin.
00:03:44.967 --> 00:03:46.269
To become sin. he took my sin.
00:03:46.336 --> 00:03:48.304
He took my sin. now i take his righteousness.
00:03:48.371 --> 00:03:51.107
Now i take his righteousness. it's a divine exchange, amen.
00:03:51.174 --> 00:03:52.608
It's a divine exchange, amen. we receive it by grace, amen.
00:03:52.675 --> 00:03:54.477
We receive it by grace, amen. praise the lord.
00:03:54.544 --> 00:03:55.611
Praise the lord. so the more we believe it,
00:03:55.678 --> 00:03:56.612
So the more we believe it, now it's not enough to know it.
00:03:56.679 --> 00:03:58.514
Now it's not enough to know it. you got to confess it because
00:03:58.581 --> 00:03:59.749
You got to confess it because the bible says in
00:03:59.816 --> 00:04:00.817
The bible says in 2 corinthians 4,
00:04:00.883 --> 00:04:01.951
2 corinthians 4, "we having the same spirit
00:04:02.018 --> 00:04:04.554
"we having the same spirit of faith," now the quotation
00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:07.357
Of faith," now the quotation there is from psalms.
00:04:07.423 --> 00:04:08.291
There is from psalms. it's saying that we having
00:04:08.358 --> 00:04:09.525
It's saying that we having the same spirit of faith,
00:04:09.592 --> 00:04:10.660
The same spirit of faith, that faith of david, right.
00:04:10.727 --> 00:04:12.829
That faith of david, right. "we having the same spirit
00:04:12.895 --> 00:04:14.664
"we having the same spirit of faith, i believe,
00:04:14.731 --> 00:04:16.733
Of faith, i believe, therefore have i spoken."
00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:18.968
Therefore have i spoken." we also believe and
00:04:19.035 --> 00:04:20.169
We also believe and therefore speak.
00:04:20.236 --> 00:04:21.938
Therefore speak. it's not enough just to believe.
00:04:22.004 --> 00:04:24.440
It's not enough just to believe. you got to speak.
00:04:24.507 --> 00:04:25.808
You got to speak. the bible says in romans 4,
00:04:25.875 --> 00:04:29.812
The bible says in romans 4, "abraham was like god because
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.682
"abraham was like god because god quickens the dead and calls
00:04:32.749 --> 00:04:36.152
God quickens the dead and calls those things that are not
00:04:36.219 --> 00:04:37.520
Those things that are not as though they are."
00:04:37.587 --> 00:04:40.223
As though they are." the bible says that's what
00:04:40.289 --> 00:04:41.457
The bible says that's what we are to be.
00:04:41.524 --> 00:04:42.392
We are to be. call those things that
00:04:42.458 --> 00:04:43.159
Call those things that are not as though they are.
00:04:43.226 --> 00:04:45.561
Are not as though they are. that are not what?
00:04:45.628 --> 00:04:47.430
That are not what? not visible, not sensible
00:04:47.497 --> 00:04:49.832
Not visible, not sensible to touch, right.
00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:50.933
To touch, right. nothing that you can hear
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:52.268
Nothing that you can hear or whatever, yet, yet, it will
00:04:52.335 --> 00:04:54.670
Or whatever, yet, yet, it will always come out in the flesh,
00:04:54.737 --> 00:04:56.472
Always come out in the flesh, in the realm like this building,
00:04:56.539 --> 00:04:58.207
In the realm like this building, amen.
00:04:58.274 --> 00:04:59.075
Amen. now we can see it, now we can
00:04:59.142 --> 00:05:00.143
Now we can see it, now we can feel it, now we can look at it,
00:05:00.209 --> 00:05:02.845
Feel it, now we can look at it, we can take pictures of it,
00:05:02.912 --> 00:05:03.880
We can take pictures of it, right.
00:05:03.946 --> 00:05:05.047
Right. but it came out of faith when
00:05:05.114 --> 00:05:07.483
But it came out of faith when there was nothing, amen.
00:05:07.550 --> 00:05:09.152
There was nothing, amen. but faith, like god is a spirit,
00:05:09.218 --> 00:05:11.454
But faith, like god is a spirit, god brought forth
00:05:11.521 --> 00:05:12.455
God brought forth the visible world, amen.
00:05:12.522 --> 00:05:14.257
The visible world, amen. everything visible came
00:05:14.323 --> 00:05:15.992
Everything visible came from the invisible, amen.
00:05:16.058 --> 00:05:20.596
From the invisible, amen. so think about it, people.
00:05:20.663 --> 00:05:23.399
So think about it, people. god calls those things that
00:05:23.466 --> 00:05:25.001
God calls those things that are not in the physical realm
00:05:25.067 --> 00:05:26.903
Are not in the physical realm yet as though they are there.
00:05:26.969 --> 00:05:29.071
Yet as though they are there. isn't it?
00:05:29.138 --> 00:05:31.040
Isn't it? it's prosperity with a purpose
00:05:31.107 --> 00:05:34.477
It's prosperity with a purpose that god wants us to see.
00:05:34.544 --> 00:05:36.112
That god wants us to see. that we can be
00:05:36.179 --> 00:05:36.879
That we can be a blessing to many.
00:05:36.946 --> 00:05:37.880
A blessing to many. so the first thing we need
00:05:37.947 --> 00:05:38.848
So the first thing we need to establish, you gotta believe.
00:05:38.915 --> 00:05:40.283
To establish, you gotta believe. why?
00:05:40.349 --> 00:05:41.150
Why? why must we believe?
00:05:41.217 --> 00:05:41.984
Why must we believe? is it important?
00:05:42.051 --> 00:05:42.752
Is it important? i said just now.
00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:43.486
I said just now. is it important for us to
00:05:43.553 --> 00:05:44.287
Is it important for us to believe or not believe?
00:05:44.353 --> 00:05:45.555
Believe or not believe? does it matter, pastor,
00:05:45.621 --> 00:05:46.656
Does it matter, pastor, if i believe?
00:05:46.722 --> 00:05:47.356
If i believe? it matters because your spirit,
00:05:47.423 --> 00:05:49.058
It matters because your spirit, you don't even realize it.
00:05:49.125 --> 00:05:50.626
You don't even realize it. your spirit is open when
00:05:50.693 --> 00:05:53.429
Your spirit is open when you believe that god wants
00:05:53.496 --> 00:05:55.865
You believe that god wants you to have it.
00:05:55.932 --> 00:05:56.632
You to have it. god wants to prosper you.
00:05:56.699 --> 00:05:57.800
God wants to prosper you. your spirit is open.
00:05:57.867 --> 00:05:58.968
Your spirit is open. that's the faith realm.
00:05:59.035 --> 00:06:00.169
That's the faith realm. and you begin to
00:06:00.236 --> 00:06:01.137
And you begin to see breakthroughs
00:06:01.204 --> 00:06:01.871
See breakthroughs after breakthroughs,
00:06:01.938 --> 00:06:02.538
After breakthroughs, miracle after miracle,
00:06:02.605 --> 00:06:03.806
Miracle after miracle, blessings after blessings, when
00:06:03.873 --> 00:06:05.508
Blessings after blessings, when in the natural, there's none.
00:06:05.575 --> 00:06:06.642
In the natural, there's none. are you listening people?
00:06:06.709 --> 00:06:08.678
Now we are heading
00:06:08.744 --> 00:06:09.412
Now we are heading in tough days, all right.
00:06:09.479 --> 00:06:10.580
In tough days, all right. genesis 26, abraham's son,
00:06:10.646 --> 00:06:13.583
Genesis 26, abraham's son, isaac.
00:06:13.649 --> 00:06:14.317
Isaac. "there was a famine in the land,
00:06:14.383 --> 00:06:17.220
"there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that
00:06:17.286 --> 00:06:18.321
Besides the first famine that was in the days of abraham.
00:06:18.387 --> 00:06:19.789
Was in the days of abraham. and isaac went to abimelek, king
00:06:19.856 --> 00:06:21.858
And isaac went to abimelek, king of the philistines in gerar."
00:06:21.924 --> 00:06:23.526
Of the philistines in gerar." say "famine,"
00:06:23.593 --> 00:06:24.861
Say "famine," say, "famine."
00:06:24.927 --> 00:06:26.329
Say, "famine." so, famine is a time of lack.
00:06:26.395 --> 00:06:29.732
Okay.
00:06:29.799 --> 00:06:30.766
Okay. now this famine is bad, okay.
00:06:30.833 --> 00:06:35.304
Now this famine is bad, okay. that means there's not enough
00:06:35.371 --> 00:06:36.205
That means there's not enough to eat.
00:06:36.272 --> 00:06:37.507
To eat. your crops cannot grow.
00:06:37.573 --> 00:06:39.175
Your crops cannot grow. and the bible goes on to say it
00:06:39.242 --> 00:06:40.943
And the bible goes on to say it was a famine that was severe.
00:06:41.010 --> 00:06:44.580
Was a famine that was severe. just like the time of, if you
00:06:44.647 --> 00:06:46.148
Just like the time of, if you keep on reading, it's the time
00:06:46.215 --> 00:06:47.817
Keep on reading, it's the time of abraham, which was severe.
00:06:47.884 --> 00:06:50.620
Of abraham, which was severe. and the time of joseph,
00:06:50.686 --> 00:06:52.555
And the time of joseph, it was also severe.
00:06:52.622 --> 00:06:54.357
It was also severe. whenever famine comes
00:06:54.423 --> 00:06:56.325
Whenever famine comes into the world, so first of all,
00:06:56.392 --> 00:06:57.994
Into the world, so first of all, we see that famine does come
00:06:58.060 --> 00:06:59.328
We see that famine does come periodically to the world, okay.
00:06:59.395 --> 00:07:02.031
Periodically to the world, okay. so what makes this famine
00:07:02.098 --> 00:07:02.999
So what makes this famine something we can learn from
00:07:03.065 --> 00:07:04.300
Something we can learn from for today?
00:07:04.367 --> 00:07:05.835
For today? and when you read the bible
00:07:05.902 --> 00:07:06.702
And when you read the bible like i told you in the lesson
00:07:06.769 --> 00:07:08.371
Like i told you in the lesson on how to study the bible,
00:07:08.437 --> 00:07:09.805
On how to study the bible, is that a lot of things written
00:07:09.872 --> 00:07:11.240
Is that a lot of things written in the past, in the stories
00:07:11.307 --> 00:07:12.775
In the past, in the stories in the old testament and
00:07:12.842 --> 00:07:13.910
In the old testament and all that are two parts types
00:07:13.976 --> 00:07:15.912
All that are two parts types for us to learn today.
00:07:15.978 --> 00:07:17.213
For us to learn today. in other words, god put them
00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:18.214
In other words, god put them there because it's so relevant.
00:07:18.281 --> 00:07:19.682
There because it's so relevant. it speaks to us today.
00:07:19.749 --> 00:07:21.884
Are you with me so far?
00:07:21.951 --> 00:07:23.519
Are you with me so far? so first, we established already
00:07:23.586 --> 00:07:24.954
So first, we established already that we are abraham's seed,
00:07:25.021 --> 00:07:27.056
That we are abraham's seed, right.
00:07:27.123 --> 00:07:27.957
Right. it says, "if you are christ's,"
00:07:28.024 --> 00:07:29.458
It says, "if you are christ's," are you christ's?
00:07:29.525 --> 00:07:31.360
Are you christ's? turn to your neighbor and ask,
00:07:31.427 --> 00:07:32.328
Turn to your neighbor and ask, "are you christ's?
00:07:32.395 --> 00:07:33.896
"are you christ's? christ's belongs to christ.
00:07:33.963 --> 00:07:37.300
Christ's belongs to christ. that is, are you someone
00:07:37.366 --> 00:07:38.267
That is, are you someone belonging to christ?
00:07:38.334 --> 00:07:39.468
Belonging to christ? are you christ's?
00:07:39.535 --> 00:07:40.736
Are you christ's? right, if you are christ's,
00:07:40.803 --> 00:07:42.438
Right, if you are christ's, then what?
00:07:42.505 --> 00:07:43.105
Then what? "you are abraham's seed,
00:07:43.172 --> 00:07:44.707
"you are abraham's seed, and heirs is according to
00:07:44.774 --> 00:07:46.108
And heirs is according to the promise.
00:07:46.175 --> 00:07:48.044
The promise. heirs according to the promise,"
00:07:48.110 --> 00:07:50.112
Heirs according to the promise," amen.
00:07:50.179 --> 00:07:51.447
Amen. so you are the heir
00:07:51.514 --> 00:07:52.214
So you are the heir according to the promise.
00:07:52.281 --> 00:07:52.982
According to the promise. so, the clearest picture
00:07:53.049 --> 00:07:54.150
So, the clearest picture of a direct seed of abraham,
00:07:54.216 --> 00:07:58.387
We know the seed above
00:07:58.454 --> 00:08:00.656
We know the seed above all the seed that god
00:08:00.723 --> 00:08:01.624
All the seed that god is referring to is christ.
00:08:01.691 --> 00:08:02.959
Is referring to is christ. and if you are christ's
00:08:03.025 --> 00:08:03.960
And if you are christ's you are in him.
00:08:04.026 --> 00:08:05.227
You are in him. as he is, so are we, you see?
00:08:05.294 --> 00:08:06.295
As he is, so are we, you see? right?
00:08:06.362 --> 00:08:07.597
Right? so, you are abraham's seed.
00:08:07.663 --> 00:08:08.731
So, you are abraham's seed. but a direct illustration
00:08:08.798 --> 00:08:10.232
But a direct illustration of that is isaac.
00:08:10.299 --> 00:08:11.968
Of that is isaac. isaac was the son of abraham,
00:08:12.034 --> 00:08:13.402
Isaac was the son of abraham, the promised seed,
00:08:13.469 --> 00:08:14.904
The promised seed, all right, that came finally.
00:08:14.971 --> 00:08:16.372
All right, that came finally. so this story of how
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:17.740
So this story of how abraham's son, isaac,
00:08:17.807 --> 00:08:20.109
Abraham's son, isaac, dealt with the famine, okay.
00:08:20.176 --> 00:08:21.777
Dealt with the famine, okay. now, many of you know the story
00:08:21.844 --> 00:08:23.045
Now, many of you know the story but, you know, the holy spirit
00:08:23.112 --> 00:08:24.113
But, you know, the holy spirit is bringing it into a new light.
00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:26.048
Is bringing it into a new light. okay, so back to genesis 26.
00:08:26.115 --> 00:08:28.517
Drop down.
00:08:28.584 --> 00:08:29.318
Drop down. "then the lord appeared to
00:08:29.385 --> 00:08:30.286
"then the lord appeared to him and said, 'do not go down
00:08:30.353 --> 00:08:31.420
Him and said, 'do not go down to egypt; live in the land
00:08:31.487 --> 00:08:32.989
To egypt; live in the land of which i shall tell you.
00:08:33.055 --> 00:08:34.690
Of which i shall tell you. dwell in this land, and i'll
00:08:34.757 --> 00:08:36.025
Dwell in this land, and i'll be with you and bless you;
00:08:36.092 --> 00:08:38.094
Be with you and bless you; for to you
00:08:38.160 --> 00:08:38.928
For to you and your descendants i give
00:08:38.995 --> 00:08:40.162
And your descendants i give all these lands, and
00:08:40.229 --> 00:08:41.464
All these lands, and i will perform the oath which i
00:08:41.530 --> 00:08:42.398
I will perform the oath which i swore to abraham your father.'"
00:08:42.465 --> 00:08:43.666
Swore to abraham your father.'" so the first thing god said
00:08:43.733 --> 00:08:44.767
So the first thing god said to abraham's seed, all of you,
00:08:44.834 --> 00:08:49.772
To abraham's seed, all of you, don't go down to egypt.
00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:51.874
Don't go down to egypt. what does that mean?
00:08:51.941 --> 00:08:53.643
What does that mean? when famine happens,
00:08:53.709 --> 00:08:55.111
When famine happens, don't give up on god's ways
00:08:55.177 --> 00:08:57.480
Don't give up on god's ways and use the world's ways.
00:08:57.546 --> 00:08:59.515
And use the world's ways. and remember this, every time
00:08:59.582 --> 00:09:02.084
And remember this, every time they say it's about egypt,
00:09:02.151 --> 00:09:03.185
They say it's about egypt, it is always go down.
00:09:03.252 --> 00:09:06.689
It is always go down. now the world will offer
00:09:06.756 --> 00:09:08.357
Now the world will offer you a lot of things.
00:09:08.424 --> 00:09:09.558
You a lot of things. immediate gratification.
00:09:09.625 --> 00:09:10.493
Immediate gratification. and we got a whole generation
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:11.694
And we got a whole generation of people who want quick money.
00:09:11.761 --> 00:09:14.263
Of people who want quick money. they want quick returns.
00:09:14.330 --> 00:09:17.299
They want quick returns. they're not interested in,
00:09:17.366 --> 00:09:21.337
They're not interested in, he that gathers by labor
00:09:21.404 --> 00:09:22.271
He that gathers by labor shall increase.
00:09:22.338 --> 00:09:24.040
Shall increase. they're not interested in
00:09:24.106 --> 00:09:26.609
They're not interested in honoring the boss and
00:09:26.676 --> 00:09:29.545
Honoring the boss and the company which is the spirit
00:09:29.612 --> 00:09:30.780
The company which is the spirit of what colossians writes
00:09:30.846 --> 00:09:31.814
Of what colossians writes about knowing that of the lord
00:09:31.881 --> 00:09:33.315
About knowing that of the lord you shall receive the reward.
00:09:33.382 --> 00:09:34.850
You shall receive the reward. okay, so god told isaac,
00:09:34.917 --> 00:09:36.619
Okay, so god told isaac, "i bless you," right?
00:09:36.686 --> 00:09:38.921
"i bless you," right? bless you.
00:09:38.988 --> 00:09:39.555
Bless you. okay, look at the blessing.
00:09:39.622 --> 00:09:40.222
Okay, look at the blessing. "dwell in this land, i'll be
00:09:40.289 --> 00:09:41.057
"dwell in this land, i'll be with you and i'll bless you."
00:09:41.123 --> 00:09:41.957
With you and i'll bless you." the word there is "barak,"
00:09:42.024 --> 00:09:43.592
The word there is "barak," "barak."
00:09:43.659 --> 00:09:44.894
"barak." now what is "barak?"
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:46.696
Now what is "barak?" the noun is like god told
00:09:46.762 --> 00:09:50.633
The noun is like god told abraham, "i'll bless you and you
00:09:50.700 --> 00:09:53.135
Abraham, "i'll bless you and you shall be a blessing."
00:09:53.202 --> 00:09:54.470
Shall be a blessing." i will "barak" you
00:09:54.537 --> 00:09:55.771
I will "barak" you and you will be a "baraka."
00:09:55.838 --> 00:09:57.540
And you will be a "baraka." the value of "baraka."
00:09:57.606 --> 00:09:59.208
The value of "baraka." you shall be a blessing.
00:09:59.275 --> 00:10:00.609
You shall be a blessing. so blessing is the noun, right?
00:10:00.676 --> 00:10:03.079
So blessing is the noun, right? "barak" is the verb, okay?
00:10:03.145 --> 00:10:06.415
"barak" is the verb, okay? so this is "barak."
00:10:06.482 --> 00:10:07.516
So this is "barak." what is "barak?"
00:10:07.583 --> 00:10:08.651
What is "barak?" so i say, god will bless you in
00:10:08.718 --> 00:10:09.719
So i say, god will bless you in every area of your life.
00:10:09.785 --> 00:10:11.587
Every area of your life. where really matters number one,
00:10:11.654 --> 00:10:12.755
Where really matters number one, relationship with god.
00:10:12.822 --> 00:10:14.757
Relationship with god. you are the righteousness of god
00:10:14.824 --> 00:10:15.691
You are the righteousness of god in christ.
00:10:15.758 --> 00:10:16.792
In christ. the blessing of abraham has come
00:10:16.859 --> 00:10:17.860

00:10:28.270 --> 00:10:29.238
Who is us? you and i.
00:10:29.305 --> 00:10:29.739
You and i. you and i, all right?
00:10:29.805 --> 00:10:30.873
You and i, all right? we are now, we have been
00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:32.274
We are now, we have been ransomed from what?
00:10:32.341 --> 00:10:33.943
Ransomed from what? the curse of the law.
00:10:34.009 --> 00:10:34.910
The curse of the law. we are not under the curse
00:10:34.977 --> 00:10:35.745
We are not under the curse of the law, amen.
00:10:35.811 --> 00:10:38.614
Of the law, amen. even though we are not perfect,
00:10:38.681 --> 00:10:41.117
Even though we are not perfect, we are not under the curse
00:10:41.183 --> 00:10:43.185
We are not under the curse of the law.
00:10:43.252 --> 00:10:44.153
Of the law. okay, why?
00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:45.287
Okay, why? because, by the way,
00:10:45.354 --> 00:10:47.223
Because, by the way, it cannot mean anything
00:10:47.289 --> 00:10:48.057
It cannot mean anything but that we are not perfect.
00:10:48.124 --> 00:10:49.725
But that we are not perfect. why?
00:10:49.792 --> 00:10:50.426
Why? because if you say,
00:10:50.493 --> 00:10:51.193
Because if you say, "pastor prince,
00:10:51.260 --> 00:10:51.794
"pastor prince, it's only for people
00:10:51.861 --> 00:10:52.561
It's only for people who are keeping the law."
00:10:52.628 --> 00:10:54.363
Who are keeping the law." that makes no reason why
00:10:54.430 --> 00:10:55.965
That makes no reason why is there a curse for him.
00:10:56.031 --> 00:10:59.368
Is there a curse for him. why should there be a curse for
00:10:59.435 --> 00:11:00.936
Why should there be a curse for someone who is keeping the law?
00:11:01.003 --> 00:11:02.905
Someone who is keeping the law? it only means something when
00:11:02.972 --> 00:11:03.973
It only means something when people are not perfect, right?
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:07.009
People are not perfect, right? but he says, "christ has
00:11:07.076 --> 00:11:08.177
But he says, "christ has redeemed us from the curse
00:11:08.244 --> 00:11:09.678
Redeemed us from the curse of the law."
00:11:09.745 --> 00:11:10.613
Of the law." being made a curse for us.
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:12.047
Being made a curse for us. and notice the purpose,
00:11:12.114 --> 00:11:13.215
And notice the purpose, "that the blessing of abraham."
00:11:13.282 --> 00:11:16.118
"that the blessing of abraham." the blessing of what?
00:11:16.185 --> 00:11:17.419
The blessing of what? "abraham might come
00:11:17.486 --> 00:11:18.487
"abraham might come on the gentiles."
00:11:18.554 --> 00:11:20.689
On the gentiles." that's you and i, non-jews,
00:11:20.756 --> 00:11:21.791
That's you and i, non-jews, "through jesus christ."
00:11:21.857 --> 00:11:23.659
"through jesus christ." how?
00:11:23.726 --> 00:11:24.493
How? through faith.
00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:25.661
Through faith. "that we might receive
00:11:25.728 --> 00:11:26.462
"that we might receive the promise of the spirit
00:11:26.529 --> 00:11:27.763
The promise of the spirit through faith."
00:11:27.830 --> 00:11:29.598
Through faith." do you see that?
00:11:29.665 --> 00:11:30.833
Do you see that? so the blessing of abraham,
00:11:30.900 --> 00:11:32.434
So the blessing of abraham, the blessing that brings
00:11:32.501 --> 00:11:33.269
The blessing that brings every blessing
00:11:33.335 --> 00:11:34.270
Every blessing is righteousness of faith.
00:11:34.336 --> 00:11:37.973
Is righteousness of faith. god has made you righteous
00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:39.208
God has made you righteous with him.
00:11:39.275 --> 00:11:40.242
With him. you're so close,
00:11:40.309 --> 00:11:41.076
You're so close, your position before god
00:11:41.143 --> 00:11:41.877
Your position before god right now is so near him.
00:11:41.944 --> 00:11:44.547
Right now is so near him. say, "so near."
00:11:44.613 --> 00:11:45.514
Say, "so near." you are so near.
00:11:45.581 --> 00:11:47.349
You are so near. nearer you cannot be.
00:11:47.416 --> 00:11:49.118
Nearer you cannot be. "for in the person of his son,
00:11:49.185 --> 00:11:50.886
"for in the person of his son, you are as near as he."
00:11:50.953 --> 00:11:53.722
You are as near as he." now "barak" includes blessing in
00:11:53.789 --> 00:11:57.193
Now "barak" includes blessing in the area of prosperity, in terms
00:11:57.259 --> 00:12:00.062
The area of prosperity, in terms of material things as well.
00:12:00.129 --> 00:12:01.897
Of material things as well. is that in the bible?
00:12:01.964 --> 00:12:03.933
Okay, you say, "pastor prince,
00:12:03.999 --> 00:12:05.534
Okay, you say, "pastor prince, that's your opinion.
00:12:05.601 --> 00:12:06.502
That's your opinion. that's your opinion."
00:12:06.569 --> 00:12:07.736
That's your opinion." okay, he says it's my opinion.
00:12:07.803 --> 00:12:08.604
Okay, he says it's my opinion. let's go to a scholar,
00:12:08.671 --> 00:12:09.705
Let's go to a scholar, a hebrew scholar.
00:12:09.772 --> 00:12:10.906
A hebrew scholar. this time, not my own,

This time, not my own, i find somebody else.
00:12:12.107 --> 00:12:13.475
I find somebody else. the new international dictionary
00:12:13.542 --> 00:12:15.511
The new international dictionary of new testament theology.
00:12:15.578 --> 00:12:17.980
Of new testament theology. sounds fancy?
00:12:18.047 --> 00:12:19.582
Sounds fancy? these are scholars
00:12:19.648 --> 00:12:21.517
These are scholars who are reputed to write
00:12:21.584 --> 00:12:23.485
Who are reputed to write this kind of books.
00:12:23.552 --> 00:12:24.753
This kind of books. see what he says.
00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:25.688
See what he says. "basically, barak,"
00:12:25.754 --> 00:12:27.256
"basically, barak," or "eulogia," by the way,
00:12:27.323 --> 00:12:28.224
Or "eulogia," by the way, "eulogia" is the greek
00:12:28.290 --> 00:12:29.658
"eulogia" is the greek for blessing, bless, all right?
00:12:29.725 --> 00:12:32.394
For blessing, bless, all right? so, left is old testament,
00:12:32.461 --> 00:12:34.096
So, left is old testament, barak.
00:12:34.163 --> 00:12:34.930
Barak. new testament is "eulogia."
00:12:34.997 --> 00:12:36.232
New testament is "eulogia." same meaning, okay?
00:12:36.298 --> 00:12:38.200
Same meaning, okay? like you say, you say eulogy,
00:12:38.267 --> 00:12:39.768
Like you say, you say eulogy, right?
00:12:39.835 --> 00:12:40.703
Right? it's from the greek word,
00:12:40.769 --> 00:12:41.604
It's from the greek word, "eulogia."
00:12:41.670 --> 00:12:42.338
"eulogia." you, good, logia, word, okay?
00:12:42.404 --> 00:12:44.840
You, good, logia, word, okay? it's together becomes blessing.
00:12:44.907 --> 00:12:46.408
It's together becomes blessing. "basically, barak,
00:12:46.475 --> 00:12:48.310
"basically, barak, the hebrew word barak means
00:12:48.377 --> 00:12:49.311
The hebrew word barak means endued with beneficial power."
00:12:49.378 --> 00:12:51.914
Endued with beneficial power." when god blesses you,
00:12:51.981 --> 00:12:52.748
When god blesses you, listen, in this time of famine,
00:12:52.815 --> 00:12:54.350
Listen, in this time of famine, when god blesses you,
00:12:54.416 --> 00:12:55.384
When god blesses you, you are endued
00:12:55.451 --> 00:12:57.152
You are endued with beneficial power.
00:12:57.219 --> 00:13:00.189
To effect all these things
00:13:00.789 --> 00:13:02.124
To effect all these things in your life, "the nature
00:13:02.191 --> 00:13:03.859
In your life, "the nature of the blessing is that of
00:13:03.926 --> 00:13:04.760
Of the blessing is that of the conferring and transference
00:13:04.827 --> 00:13:07.229
The conferring and transference of beneficial power."
00:13:07.296 --> 00:13:09.431
Of beneficial power." beneficial, say,
00:13:09.498 --> 00:13:10.499
Beneficial, say, "beneficial power," all right?
00:13:10.566 --> 00:13:12.301
"beneficial power," all right? "which produces fertility in men
00:13:12.368 --> 00:13:15.204
"which produces fertility in men and in livestock and lands."
00:13:15.271 --> 00:13:17.606
Would you say that back
00:13:18.340 --> 00:13:20.276
Would you say that back in those days, "barak,"
00:13:20.342 --> 00:13:21.610
In those days, "barak," because it's translating for
00:13:21.677 --> 00:13:22.511
Because it's translating for the old testament blessing
00:13:22.578 --> 00:13:23.913
The old testament blessing of the israelites and all that.
00:13:23.979 --> 00:13:25.814
Of the israelites and all that. in what way does it manifest?
00:13:25.881 --> 00:13:27.516
In what way does it manifest? because they are all people
00:13:27.583 --> 00:13:29.585
Because they are all people involved in husbandry,
00:13:29.652 --> 00:13:30.953
Involved in husbandry, in farming, right?
00:13:31.020 --> 00:13:32.288
In farming, right? they grow grapes, vine,
00:13:32.354 --> 00:13:34.823
They grow grapes, vine, vine grapes and figs
00:13:34.890 --> 00:13:37.626
Vine grapes and figs and olive trees and all that.
00:13:37.693 --> 00:13:40.462
And olive trees and all that. the more they have,
00:13:40.529 --> 00:13:41.964
The more they have, the more they prosper.
00:13:42.031 --> 00:13:43.532
The more they prosper. and they have flocks as well.
00:13:43.599 --> 00:13:45.634
And they have flocks as well. so the more fruitful their
00:13:45.701 --> 00:13:47.536
So the more fruitful their flock is, what happens?
00:13:47.603 --> 00:13:50.005
Flock is, what happens? they prosper.
00:13:50.072 --> 00:13:52.041
So here it says, all right,
00:13:52.107 --> 00:13:54.176
So here it says, all right, "this blessing works vertically
00:13:54.243 --> 00:13:55.778
"this blessing works vertically in the continued growth
00:13:55.844 --> 00:13:57.313
In the continued growth of succeeding generations.
00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:58.847
Of succeeding generations. horizontally, it affects peace,
00:13:58.914 --> 00:14:02.251
Horizontally, it affects peace, security from enemies."
00:14:02.318 --> 00:14:04.720
Security from enemies." think of that, think of that.
00:14:04.787 --> 00:14:06.689
Think of that, think of that. "good fortune and well-being."
00:14:06.755 --> 00:14:10.292
"good fortune and well-being." what does that mean?
00:14:10.359 --> 00:14:11.493
What does that mean? well-being.
00:14:11.560 --> 00:14:12.561
Well-being. does that mean that you
00:14:12.628 --> 00:14:13.762
Does that mean that you are always sick, always tired,
00:14:13.829 --> 00:14:15.397
Are always sick, always tired, no energy, depressed?
00:14:15.464 --> 00:14:18.434
No energy, depressed? is that well-being?
00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:20.736
Is that well-being? no.
00:14:20.803 --> 00:14:21.870
No. "well-being for a tribe or group
00:14:21.937 --> 00:14:24.673
"well-being for a tribe or group (expressed most comprehensively
00:14:24.740 --> 00:14:27.176
(expressed most comprehensively in the concept of 'shalom,'
00:14:27.242 --> 00:14:28.477
In the concept of 'shalom,' 'well-being') again.
00:14:28.544 --> 00:14:30.145
'well-being') again. so "barak" and "shalom"
00:14:30.212 --> 00:14:31.714
So "barak" and "shalom" is very close.
00:14:31.780 --> 00:14:33.215
Is very close. can you see that?
00:14:33.282 --> 00:14:33.949

00:15:51.593 --> 00:15:54.029
This is very important, okay? it's that jesus takes the curse
00:15:54.096 --> 00:15:56.665
It's that jesus takes the curse of poverty on himself
00:15:56.732 --> 00:15:58.801
Of poverty on himself on our behalf at the cross.
00:15:58.867 --> 00:16:00.803
On our behalf at the cross. so that verse you all know and
00:16:00.869 --> 00:16:02.905
Some people here are well
00:16:02.971 --> 00:16:03.939
Some people here are well established in it.
00:16:04.006 --> 00:16:04.973
Established in it. but look at 2 corinthians
00:16:05.040 --> 00:16:07.443
But look at 2 corinthians chapter 8 verse 9.
00:16:07.509 --> 00:16:08.277
Chapter 8 verse 9. "you know the grace of our lord
00:16:08.343 --> 00:16:09.344
"you know the grace of our lord jesus christ that though he was
00:16:09.411 --> 00:16:10.646
Jesus christ that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he
00:16:10.712 --> 00:16:12.347
Rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through
00:16:12.414 --> 00:16:14.416
Became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich."
00:16:14.483 --> 00:16:16.985
His poverty might become rich." right?
00:16:17.052 --> 00:16:19.621
Right? so here, stand alone, you
00:16:19.688 --> 00:16:21.223
So here, stand alone, you can say, oh spiritually rich,
00:16:21.290 --> 00:16:22.925
Can say, oh spiritually rich, spiritually poor.
00:16:22.991 --> 00:16:24.326
Spiritually poor. you can say it that way.
00:16:24.393 --> 00:16:27.262
You can say it that way. and who is there to argue?
00:16:27.329 --> 00:16:29.298
And who is there to argue? but everything must be
00:16:29.364 --> 00:16:30.732
But everything must be translated in context.
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.569
Translated in context. remember what we said about
00:16:33.635 --> 00:16:34.703
Remember what we said about how to study the bible?
00:16:34.770 --> 00:16:36.472
How to study the bible? must be translated in context.
00:16:36.538 --> 00:16:38.941
Must be translated in context. this is talking about
00:16:39.007 --> 00:16:39.708
This is talking about physically, even physically,
00:16:39.775 --> 00:16:42.578
Physically, even physically, he was destitute.
00:16:42.644 --> 00:16:44.079
He was destitute. they gambled for his clothes
00:16:44.146 --> 00:16:45.681
They gambled for his clothes at the foot of the cross.
00:16:45.747 --> 00:16:47.216
At the foot of the cross. one of the things
00:16:47.282 --> 00:16:48.283
One of the things he carried for us, of course,
00:16:48.350 --> 00:16:49.585
He carried for us, of course, first and foremost,
00:16:49.651 --> 00:16:50.719
First and foremost, he carried our sins.
00:16:50.786 --> 00:16:51.887
He carried our sins. praise the lord.
00:16:51.954 --> 00:16:52.855
Praise the lord. but the bible also says
00:16:52.921 --> 00:16:54.022
But the bible also says he carried our diseases, amen.
00:16:54.089 --> 00:16:56.325
He carried our diseases, amen. he himself took our infirmities
00:16:56.391 --> 00:16:57.793
He himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.
00:16:57.860 --> 00:16:59.361
And bore our sicknesses. with his stripes, we are healed.
00:16:59.428 --> 00:17:00.262
With his stripes, we are healed. but he also carried out poverty.
00:17:00.329 --> 00:17:02.531
But he also carried out poverty. because there is no lack
00:17:02.598 --> 00:17:03.532
Because there is no lack in heaven.
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:04.833
In heaven. we walk on streets of gold.
00:17:04.900 --> 00:17:05.934
We walk on streets of gold. something is very wrong
00:17:06.001 --> 00:17:07.536
Something is very wrong with heaven.
00:17:07.603 --> 00:17:08.604
With heaven. you won't feel comfortable
00:17:08.670 --> 00:17:10.038
You won't feel comfortable going there.
00:17:10.105 --> 00:17:14.676
Going there. you will tell god, "god,
00:17:14.743 --> 00:17:15.944
You will tell god, "god, i think this is a big grandiose.
00:17:16.011 --> 00:17:18.180
I think this is a big grandiose. tone it down.
00:17:18.247 --> 00:17:20.315
Tone it down. we don't want people to say of
00:17:20.382 --> 00:17:21.250
We don't want people to say of you, god, that you believe in
00:17:21.316 --> 00:17:22.618
You, god, that you believe in the health and wealth gospel,
00:17:22.684 --> 00:17:26.155
The health and wealth gospel, okay?"
00:17:26.221 --> 00:17:28.624
Okay?" something is wrong.
00:17:28.690 --> 00:17:29.625
Something is wrong. when jesus says, "pray this way,
00:17:29.691 --> 00:17:31.660
When jesus says, "pray this way, thy kingdom come on earth
00:17:31.727 --> 00:17:32.995
Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven."
00:17:33.061 --> 00:17:37.432
As it is in heaven." no lack, no lack.
00:17:37.499 --> 00:17:40.836
No lack, no lack. supply, supply.
00:17:40.903 --> 00:17:42.771
Supply, supply. okay, i gotta put this through.
00:17:42.838 --> 00:17:44.973
Okay, i gotta put this through. the context is important.
00:17:45.040 --> 00:17:46.642
The context is important. this is verse 9, right?
00:17:46.708 --> 00:17:47.576

According to their ability. beyond their ability,
00:17:52.381 --> 00:17:53.148
Beyond their ability, they were freely willing."
00:17:53.215 --> 00:17:54.249
They were freely willing." talking about the people in
00:17:54.316 --> 00:17:55.884
Talking about the people in macedonia, the christians in
00:17:55.951 --> 00:17:57.052
Macedonia, the christians in macedonia, "imploring us with

And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves
00:18:04.760 --> 00:18:06.094
But they first gave themselves to the lord, and then to us
00:18:06.161 --> 00:18:07.462
To the lord, and then to us by the will of god."

00:20:54.162 --> 00:20:55.864
Famine. you know what is in front of him
00:20:55.931 --> 00:20:57.466
You know what is in front of him when he sowed?
00:20:57.532 --> 00:20:58.433
When he sowed? would you like to see the land?
00:20:58.500 --> 00:20:59.368
Would you like to see the land? it's severe famine.
00:20:59.434 --> 00:21:01.002
It's severe famine. you know what the land
00:21:01.069 --> 00:21:01.770
You know what the land looks like?
00:21:01.837 --> 00:21:02.838
Looks like? now, like this.
00:21:02.904 --> 00:21:05.273
Now, like this. all right, just imagine.
00:21:05.340 --> 00:21:06.007
All right, just imagine. just imagine.
00:21:06.074 --> 00:21:06.808
Just imagine. here's seed, all right?
00:21:06.875 --> 00:21:08.076
Here's seed, all right? you're asked to sow in
00:21:08.143 --> 00:21:09.144
You're asked to sow in this land, would you?
00:21:09.211 --> 00:21:11.313
This land, would you? you got to do it by faith.
00:21:11.380 --> 00:21:13.615
You got to do it by faith. i said you got to do it
00:21:13.682 --> 00:21:14.583
I said you got to do it by faith.
00:21:14.649 --> 00:21:15.083
By faith. your mind is saying there's
00:21:15.150 --> 00:21:15.751
Your mind is saying there's no way this seed will sprout.
00:21:15.817 --> 00:21:18.019
No way this seed will sprout. no way.
00:21:18.086 --> 00:21:19.287
No way. famine.
00:21:19.354 --> 00:21:22.791
Famine. not enough water.
00:21:22.858 --> 00:21:25.193
Not enough water. the ground has lost its
00:21:25.260 --> 00:21:26.094
The ground has lost its nutrients that's necessary.
00:21:26.161 --> 00:21:29.398
Nutrients that's necessary. it's just like dust.
00:21:29.464 --> 00:21:31.700
It's just like dust. it takes faith.
00:21:31.767 --> 00:21:33.268
It takes faith. sowing takes faith.
00:21:33.335 --> 00:21:35.637
Sowing takes faith. it's easier to go to the stock
00:21:35.704 --> 00:21:37.739
It's easier to go to the stock market and say, "a lot of
00:21:37.806 --> 00:21:39.107
Market and say, "a lot of my money can go there."
00:21:39.174 --> 00:21:40.642
My money can go there." because it looks green.
00:21:40.709 --> 00:21:42.477
Because it looks green. potential, natural, logical.
00:21:42.544 --> 00:21:43.879
Potential, natural, logical. everything is good.
00:21:43.945 --> 00:21:45.380
Everything is good. oh, this investment, everything.
00:21:45.447 --> 00:21:46.348
Oh, this investment, everything. you know, today we decide where
00:21:46.415 --> 00:21:48.383
Our money goes based on
00:21:48.450 --> 00:21:49.618
Our money goes based on the greenery and the logic.
00:21:49.684 --> 00:21:53.622
The greenery and the logic. but when you look at this,
00:21:53.688 --> 00:21:55.123
But when you look at this, no way you will invest.
00:21:55.190 --> 00:21:56.858
No way you will invest. and god says,
00:21:56.925 --> 00:21:57.492
And god says, "look at gospel ground."
00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:58.627
"look at gospel ground." you say, "what does it do
00:21:58.693 --> 00:21:59.428
You say, "what does it do for me?"
00:21:59.494 --> 00:22:00.896
For me?" for you, gospel ground
00:22:00.962 --> 00:22:01.630
For you, gospel ground is just like dry.
00:22:01.696 --> 00:22:03.432
Is just like dry. stock market, ah.
00:22:03.498 --> 00:22:06.501
Stock market, ah. crypto, ah.
00:22:06.568 --> 00:22:08.637
Crypto, ah. and whatever, okay?
00:22:08.703 --> 00:22:11.440
And whatever, okay? now, i'm not saying these things
00:22:11.506 --> 00:22:12.240
Now, i'm not saying these things are wrong.
00:22:12.307 --> 00:22:12.974
Are wrong. i'm not saying that, all right?
00:22:13.041 --> 00:22:13.942
I'm not saying that, all right? the lord may lead you into this,
00:22:14.009 --> 00:22:16.211
The lord may lead you into this, whatever it is, go ahead.
00:22:16.278 --> 00:22:17.579
Whatever it is, go ahead. i'm just saying this is not
00:22:17.646 --> 00:22:18.513
I'm just saying this is not the main system of god.
00:22:18.580 --> 00:22:20.982
The main system of god. and if you're involved in it
00:22:21.049 --> 00:22:22.217
And if you're involved in it and you are really stressed out
00:22:22.284 --> 00:22:23.852
And you are really stressed out and you're always in strife,
00:22:23.919 --> 00:22:25.320
And you're always in strife, it's not god.
00:22:25.387 --> 00:22:26.721
It's not god. if you're in it, you're in rest
00:22:26.788 --> 00:22:27.656
If you're in it, you're in rest but your main stay is always
00:22:27.722 --> 00:22:28.924
But your main stay is always tithing, trusting the lord.
00:22:28.990 --> 00:22:30.392
Tithing, trusting the lord. that's cool, all right?
00:22:30.459 --> 00:22:35.297
That's cool, all right? but when you look at the gospel
00:22:35.363 --> 00:22:36.231
But when you look at the gospel ground, it looks like this.
00:22:36.298 --> 00:22:38.266
And god says, "sow."
00:22:38.333 --> 00:22:39.568
And god says, "sow." this is what isaac sowed.
00:22:39.634 --> 00:22:40.469
This is what isaac sowed. it's the year of famine.
00:22:40.535 --> 00:22:41.470
It's the year of famine. don't forget,
00:22:41.536 --> 00:22:42.037
Don't forget, that's how the ground looks.
00:22:42.103 --> 00:22:43.538
That's how the ground looks. go back to the verse again.
00:22:43.605 --> 00:22:44.406
Go back to the verse again. "but isaac's sowed."
00:22:44.473 --> 00:22:45.407
"but isaac's sowed." is that faith?
00:22:45.474 --> 00:22:46.541
Is that faith? do you think he did it
00:22:46.608 --> 00:22:47.442
Do you think he did it by faith or by logic?
00:22:47.509 --> 00:22:49.044
By faith or by logic? "and reaped in the same year a
00:22:49.110 --> 00:22:50.579
"and reaped in the same year a hundredfold and the lord blessed
00:22:50.645 --> 00:22:52.047
Hundredfold and the lord blessed him," the man began to prosper.
00:22:52.113 --> 00:22:54.115
Him," the man began to prosper. okay, it's not enough.
00:22:54.182 --> 00:22:55.517
Okay, it's not enough. "and continued prospering until
00:22:55.584 --> 00:22:58.086
"and continued prospering until he became very prosperous."
00:22:58.153 --> 00:23:01.356
He became very prosperous." and call this thirty-fold,
00:23:01.423 --> 00:23:03.258
And call this thirty-fold, sixty-fold, hundred-fold.
00:23:03.325 --> 00:23:04.459
Sixty-fold, hundred-fold. all in the same year, now.
00:23:04.526 --> 00:23:06.361
All in the same year, now. he reaped in the same year
00:23:06.428 --> 00:23:07.596
He reaped in the same year a hundred-fold.
00:23:07.662 --> 00:23:08.730
A hundred-fold. and it tells you who
00:23:08.797 --> 00:23:09.931
And it tells you who is behind it.
00:23:09.998 --> 00:23:10.665
Is behind it. the lord blessed him.
00:23:10.732 --> 00:23:13.668
The bible says,
00:23:13.735 --> 00:23:14.469
The bible says, "the cattle on a thousand hills
00:23:14.536 --> 00:23:15.937
"the cattle on a thousand hills belongs to him."
00:23:16.004 --> 00:23:17.205
Belongs to him." he put the diamonds,
00:23:17.272 --> 00:23:19.040
He put the diamonds, the amethyst, the rubies,
00:23:19.107 --> 00:23:21.042
The amethyst, the rubies, the sapphires,
00:23:21.109 --> 00:23:23.211
The sapphires, the gold in this earth.
00:23:23.278 --> 00:23:24.713
The gold in this earth. when he came, he divested
00:23:24.779 --> 00:23:27.649
When he came, he divested himself of all that
00:23:27.716 --> 00:23:29.551
Himself of all that and on that cross, he died.
00:23:29.618 --> 00:23:32.888
And on that cross, he died. he died like a poor man
00:23:32.954 --> 00:23:35.757
He died like a poor man with nothing.
00:23:35.824 --> 00:23:37.659
With nothing. why?
00:23:37.726 --> 00:23:38.727
Why? was he poor?
00:23:38.793 --> 00:23:40.495
Was he poor? in and of himself, no.
00:23:40.562 --> 00:23:42.330
In and of himself, no. he did it for you.
00:23:42.397 --> 00:23:43.765
He did it for you. it's part of the redeeming work,
00:23:43.832 --> 00:23:46.268
It's part of the redeeming work, the atoning work that he bears
00:23:46.334 --> 00:23:48.904
The atoning work that he bears our sins and you receive
00:23:48.970 --> 00:23:51.206
Our sins and you receive his righteousness.
00:23:51.273 --> 00:23:52.641
His righteousness. he bears your disease, you
00:23:52.707 --> 00:23:54.442
He bears your disease, you receive his healing and health.
00:23:54.509 --> 00:23:57.379
Receive his healing and health. at the cross, he was rejected
00:23:57.445 --> 00:23:59.781
At the cross, he was rejected that you might be accepted.
00:23:59.848 --> 00:24:01.816
That you might be accepted. he said, "my god, my god "
00:24:01.883 --> 00:24:02.918
He said, "my god, my god " at the cross that you might say,
00:24:02.984 --> 00:24:04.185
At the cross that you might say, "my father, my father."
00:24:04.252 --> 00:24:05.954
"my father, my father." and he also bore your poverty.
00:24:06.021 --> 00:24:07.622
