  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.310
  • Joseph prince: simple and bold faith
  • 00:00:13.222 --> 00:00:16.758
  • Is always sure to be rewarded, you can mark that down, always,
  • 00:00:16.859 --> 00:00:21.597
  • Guaranteed to be rewarded, god loves it.
  • 00:00:21.730 --> 00:00:22.464
  • You know why?
  • 00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:26.235
  • Because it glorifies god, simple faith, bold faith
  • 00:00:26.235 --> 00:00:29.805
  • Glorifies god and god honors it.
  • 00:00:29.805 --> 00:00:32.307
  • God loves both simple faith, he loves to be trusted, and
  • 00:00:32.374 --> 00:00:37.112
  • I say this reverently because it's true, god loves to be used,
  • 00:00:37.112 --> 00:00:42.384
  • Female announcer: you are made to thrive,
  • 00:00:42.451 --> 00:00:43.819
  • Not just to survive.
  • 00:00:43.819 --> 00:00:45.354
  • Are you facing a mountain of adversity, today?
  • 00:00:45.354 --> 00:00:48.090
  • Are you struggling to find the faith to believe that
  • 00:00:48.090 --> 00:00:50.926
  • You can conquer the difficulties standing in your way?
  • 00:00:50.926 --> 00:00:54.062
  • In today's message, find strength and encouragement
  • 00:00:54.062 --> 00:00:56.665
  • To approach your challenges with new boldness
  • 00:00:56.665 --> 00:00:59.434
  • And confidence, and let the lord build your faith
  • 00:00:59.434 --> 00:01:01.837
  • To mountain-moving heights once more.
  • 00:01:01.837 --> 00:01:05.073
  • And now, here is pastor joseph prince
  • 00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:07.609
  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:07.609 --> 00:01:09.211
  • Joseph prince: i want to share with you something that
  • 00:01:09.211 --> 00:01:10.679
  • I think is going to bless you greatly, especially
  • 00:01:10.679 --> 00:01:12.281
  • We are on this track of learning to inherit.
  • 00:01:12.281 --> 00:01:16.218
  • Say, "inheritance."
  • 00:01:16.218 --> 00:01:18.353
  • That word is so rich, isn't it?
  • 00:01:18.353 --> 00:01:20.722
  • Just saying the word inheritance.
  • 00:01:20.722 --> 00:01:22.424
  • When someone says, "i have received
  • 00:01:22.424 --> 00:01:23.759
  • An inheritance," you know it's something good.
  • 00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:26.528
  • Now, in this story about inheritance,
  • 00:01:26.528 --> 00:01:28.864
  • It's from the old testament, it's not a story that
  • 00:01:28.864 --> 00:01:32.601
  • Many people preach from, but i knew about this story
  • 00:01:32.601 --> 00:01:36.505
  • Many years ago, even in the '90s, and
  • 00:01:36.505 --> 00:01:38.807
  • I was very touched by this group of people that are so zealous
  • 00:01:38.807 --> 00:01:46.682
  • For their inheritance.
  • 00:01:46.682 --> 00:01:48.083
  • Even though naturally, by law, by the law of moses, amen, at
  • 00:01:48.083 --> 00:01:53.188
  • That time that they were under, they were not qualified,
  • 00:01:53.188 --> 00:01:56.458
  • They were not allowed to receive the inheritance.
  • 00:01:56.458 --> 00:02:00.062
  • We'll see the story as it goes on, okay?
  • 00:02:00.062 --> 00:02:02.564
  • We'll read this from the new living translation.
  • 00:02:02.564 --> 00:02:04.399
  • Numbers 27, "one day a petition was presented
  • 00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:07.703
  • By the daughters of zelophehad."
  • 00:02:07.703 --> 00:02:10.906
  • Everyone say, "," okay, that's probably not
  • 00:02:10.906 --> 00:02:15.344
  • The pronunciation in the hebrew, but we will take it.
  • 00:02:15.344 --> 00:02:19.014
  • All right, had five girls, okay?
  • 00:02:19.014 --> 00:02:24.219
  • "mahlah, noah," not the noah, the spelling is not the same
  • 00:02:24.219 --> 00:02:28.991
  • As noah of the flood, okay, it's no'ah, all right?
  • 00:02:28.991 --> 00:02:33.862
  • And that's noach, this is no'ah,
  • 00:02:33.862 --> 00:02:35.964
  • With a softer touch.
  • 00:02:35.964 --> 00:02:38.200
  • "hoglah, milcah, and tirzah."
  • 00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:41.069
  • So there are five names here.
  • 00:02:41.069 --> 00:02:42.437
  • "their father, zelophehad, was a descendant of hepher
  • 00:02:42.437 --> 00:02:45.674
  • Son of gilead, son of makir, son of manasseh,"
  • 00:02:45.674 --> 00:02:49.011
  • The five girls of zelophehad came to moses and said this.
  • 00:02:49.011 --> 00:02:54.483
  • "these women stood before moses, eleazar the priest,
  • 00:02:54.483 --> 00:02:57.386
  • The tribal leaders, and the entire community at
  • 00:02:57.386 --> 00:02:59.621
  • The entrance of the tabernacle.
  • 00:02:59.621 --> 00:03:01.390
  • They said, 'our father died in the wilderness,' they said.
  • 00:03:01.390 --> 00:03:04.960
  • 'he was not among korah's followers,
  • 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.695
  • Who rebelled against the lord; he died because of his own sin.
  • 00:03:06.695 --> 00:03:10.065
  • But he had no sons.
  • 00:03:10.065 --> 00:03:11.433
  • Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan
  • 00:03:11.433 --> 00:03:15.203
  • Just because he had no sons?
  • 00:03:15.203 --> 00:03:17.039
  • Give us property along with the rest of our relatives.'".
  • 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:21.243
  • So, women, in those days, they don't stand to inherit,
  • 00:03:21.243 --> 00:03:25.580
  • Only the sons inherit--amen?
  • 00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:28.517
  • Women marry the sons, and they marry
  • 00:03:28.517 --> 00:03:30.552
  • Into the inheritance, but they, if they have no brothers,
  • 00:03:30.552 --> 00:03:33.522
  • And in this case, they have no brothers, only five girls,
  • 00:03:33.522 --> 00:03:35.557
  • And the father had died in the wilderness,
  • 00:03:35.557 --> 00:03:37.793
  • And they made sure to moses that the father didn't die
  • 00:03:37.793 --> 00:03:40.095
  • In the korah's rebellion.
  • 00:03:40.095 --> 00:03:41.430
  • Korah was the man who stood against moses and all that,
  • 00:03:41.430 --> 00:03:43.432
  • And said, "who are you to lift yourself up against the people?
  • 00:03:43.432 --> 00:03:45.801
  • We are all holy," amen?
  • 00:03:45.801 --> 00:03:47.235
  • "who are you to?"
  • 00:03:47.235 --> 00:03:48.570
  • And god opened up the earth and swallowed them up, amen?
  • 00:03:48.570 --> 00:03:53.542
  • So, they made sure that moses knew that their father
  • 00:03:53.542 --> 00:03:57.946
  • Is not one of those that followed korah, okay?
  • 00:03:57.946 --> 00:04:00.882
  • So, what these girls were after, look at their passion,
  • 00:04:00.882 --> 00:04:03.185
  • Look at their heart, look at their faith,
  • 00:04:03.185 --> 00:04:05.253
  • They were after the inheritance, they didn't have a laidback
  • 00:04:05.253 --> 00:04:08.824
  • Kind of attitude towards the inheritance, they wanted
  • 00:04:08.824 --> 00:04:11.393
  • The inheritance, amen.
  • 00:04:11.393 --> 00:04:13.428
  • So, they said this, "so moses brought their case
  • 00:04:13.428 --> 00:04:15.797
  • Before the lord."
  • 00:04:15.797 --> 00:04:17.165
  • Because it's a new case, amen, i said it's a new case,
  • 00:04:17.165 --> 00:04:20.769
  • Praise the lord, and we are learning that
  • 00:04:20.769 --> 00:04:23.472
  • Faith possesses, faith inherits,
  • 00:04:23.472 --> 00:04:29.144
  • And look at the bold, simple faith of these girls.
  • 00:04:29.144 --> 00:04:32.414
  • They wanted what god has given, they didn't want something else,
  • 00:04:32.414 --> 00:04:38.687
  • They wanted what god has given, the inheritance, in that case,
  • 00:04:38.687 --> 00:04:41.056
  • It's the land.
  • 00:04:41.056 --> 00:04:42.391
  • For us, amen, it is all there, laid out in chapter 1
  • 00:04:42.391 --> 00:04:45.994
  • Of ephesians, amen, the fact that we are in christ,
  • 00:04:45.994 --> 00:04:48.964
  • We are holy, we are blameless, possess it.
  • 00:04:48.964 --> 00:04:51.933
  • We have forgiveness of sins according to the riches
  • 00:04:51.933 --> 00:04:53.869
  • Of his grace, amen, this is our promised land, hallelujah.
  • 00:04:53.869 --> 00:04:56.972
  • Not only that, with his stripes we are healed, amen, so, bodily,
  • 00:04:56.972 --> 00:05:01.076
  • We can walk in hell, praise the lord, we learn to inherit
  • 00:05:01.076 --> 00:05:04.079
  • What christ has done, amen?
  • 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.116
  • Our minds, he wore the crown of thorns,
  • 00:05:08.116 --> 00:05:10.485
  • Why did jesus wear the crown of thorns?
  • 00:05:10.485 --> 00:05:12.187
  • He can just go straight and die for our sins at the cross,
  • 00:05:12.187 --> 00:05:14.523
  • Why must there be a crown of thorns on his head?
  • 00:05:14.523 --> 00:05:16.858
  • Because god cursed the ground, when god cursed the ground,
  • 00:05:16.858 --> 00:05:19.694
  • God told adam, "this was never meant to be."
  • 00:05:19.694 --> 00:05:21.763
  • God didn't create man to live under stress, but god says,
  • 00:05:21.763 --> 00:05:24.599
  • "by the sweat of your face, you will eat bread,"
  • 00:05:24.599 --> 00:05:26.802
  • And from then on, a man had to toil,
  • 00:05:26.802 --> 00:05:29.204
  • A man had to be in stress.
  • 00:05:29.204 --> 00:05:30.572
  • And jesus sweat blood, and when his blood and sweat mingled,
  • 00:05:30.572 --> 00:05:35.076
  • Because of the redeeming quality of jesus's blood, he redeemed
  • 00:05:35.076 --> 00:05:37.746
  • All of us from the curse of sweat, and he wore the crown
  • 00:05:37.746 --> 00:05:43.485
  • Of thorns because thorns represent the curse, the ground,
  • 00:05:43.485 --> 00:05:47.389
  • That god says, "cursed is the ground for your sake,
  • 00:05:47.389 --> 00:05:49.524
  • Adam."
  • 00:05:49.524 --> 00:05:50.892
  • And that ground, wherever you walk, i'm telling you,
  • 00:05:50.892 --> 00:05:55.063
  • It's blessed ground.
  • 00:05:55.063 --> 00:05:56.631
  • And instead of, because he wore the crown of thorns, amen, and
  • 00:05:56.631 --> 00:06:00.802
  • All kinds of thorns represent all the cursed thoughts, all
  • 00:06:00.802 --> 00:06:03.972
  • The dark thoughts that you have, thoughts that torment you,
  • 00:06:03.972 --> 00:06:06.174
  • Thoughts that rob you of joy, thoughts that rob you,
  • 00:06:06.174 --> 00:06:08.677
  • Even right now, maybe you can't even focus on what i'm saying
  • 00:06:08.677 --> 00:06:10.879
  • Because there are thoughts that are bothering you and trying
  • 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.648
  • To rob you of the peace, the joy that god has.
  • 00:06:13.648 --> 00:06:17.786
  • It's all in your thoughts, but i want you to know, christ
  • 00:06:17.786 --> 00:06:21.623
  • Redeemed you from those thoughts, they are individual
  • 00:06:21.623 --> 00:06:24.125
  • Thorns representing individual thoughts, cursed thoughts,
  • 00:06:24.125 --> 00:06:26.962
  • Dark thoughts, negative thoughts,
  • 00:06:26.962 --> 00:06:30.966
  • Sinful thoughts, he redeemed us from it when he sweat blood.
  • 00:06:30.966 --> 00:06:35.804
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:06:35.804 --> 00:06:38.006
  • That's your inheritance, he was totally destitute
  • 00:06:38.006 --> 00:06:41.243
  • Of material goods when he hung on the cross,
  • 00:06:41.243 --> 00:06:44.613
  • All the paintings, you know, cannot represent
  • 00:06:44.613 --> 00:06:47.082
  • What happened at the cross.
  • 00:06:47.082 --> 00:06:48.416
  • The bible says, "his visage was marred more than any man,
  • 00:06:48.416 --> 00:06:52.153
  • And his form more than the sons of men."
  • 00:06:52.153 --> 00:06:54.656
  • So the way he looked was hideous; why?
  • 00:06:54.656 --> 00:06:57.759
  • He carried all kinds of goiters, tumors and growths at the cross,
  • 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.863
  • And he was so hideous, the bible says,
  • 00:07:01.863 --> 00:07:03.732
  • It was beyond that of any man.
  • 00:07:03.732 --> 00:07:05.934
  • His visage, his face was so marred, more than any man,
  • 00:07:05.934 --> 00:07:09.704
  • So that you can look good, man.
  • 00:07:09.704 --> 00:07:14.643
  • And he was destitute of all earthly goods,
  • 00:07:14.643 --> 00:07:16.711
  • One of the last things he saw at the cross was the soldiers
  • 00:07:16.711 --> 00:07:19.381
  • Gambling for his clothes.
  • 00:07:19.381 --> 00:07:23.084
  • "you know the grace of our lord jesus christ,
  • 00:07:23.084 --> 00:07:25.620
  • That, though he was rich, yet for your sakes
  • 00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:27.122
  • He became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich."
  • 00:07:27.122 --> 00:07:34.796
  • Amen?
  • 00:07:34.796 --> 00:07:36.765
  • So these girls came, they wanted the inheritance, "our father
  • 00:07:36.765 --> 00:07:40.435
  • Died, he has no sons, why should the inheritance
  • 00:07:40.435 --> 00:07:43.572
  • Go to somebody else?"
  • 00:07:43.572 --> 00:07:45.373
  • So moses said, "okay, this is a new case."
  • 00:07:45.373 --> 00:07:48.310
  • These girls are bold, let me tell you something about
  • 00:07:48.310 --> 00:07:51.580
  • Bold faith, bold faith, simple and bold faith
  • 00:07:51.580 --> 00:07:56.785
  • Is always sure to be rewarded.
  • 00:07:56.785 --> 00:07:59.554
  • You can mark that down, always, guaranteed to be rewarded,
  • 00:07:59.554 --> 00:08:03.892
  • God loves it, you know why?
  • 00:08:03.892 --> 00:08:05.594
  • Because it glorifies god, simple faith, bold faith
  • 00:08:05.594 --> 00:08:09.931
  • Glorifies god and god honors it, god cannot disappoint faith
  • 00:08:09.931 --> 00:08:19.841
  • Any more than he can deny himself.
  • 00:08:19.841 --> 00:08:24.045
  • God loves both simple faith, he loves to be trusted, and
  • 00:08:24.045 --> 00:08:29.551
  • I say this reverently because it's true, god loves to be used,
  • 00:08:29.551 --> 00:08:36.458
  • We worship god but god wants us to use him, that's what
  • 00:08:36.458 --> 00:08:40.495
  • Jesus meant when he says, "i am the bread of life."
  • 00:08:40.495 --> 00:08:42.430
  • What do you do with bread?
  • 00:08:42.430 --> 00:08:44.332
  • "i am the fountain of living water," amen,
  • 00:08:44.332 --> 00:08:48.236
  • What do you do with water?
  • 00:08:48.236 --> 00:08:49.671
  • "i am the light of the world," what do you do with light
  • 00:08:49.671 --> 00:08:52.641
  • When you are in the dark?
  • 00:08:52.641 --> 00:08:54.509
  • Use it, use it, because he knows, or else,
  • 00:08:54.509 --> 00:08:59.714
  • You start using your own brains, your own smarts,
  • 00:08:59.714 --> 00:09:02.584
  • Somebody else's smarts, somebody else's devices,
  • 00:09:02.584 --> 00:09:05.253
  • Somebody else's inventions, you know?
  • 00:09:05.253 --> 00:09:08.123
  • He doesn't want that, he's jealous over you with love.
  • 00:09:08.123 --> 00:09:10.558
  • God loves to be trusted and he loves to be used.
  • 00:09:10.558 --> 00:09:15.196
  • When somebody uses his power, he stops, he turns around,
  • 00:09:15.196 --> 00:09:17.332
  • "i want to see that person who used my power,
  • 00:09:17.332 --> 00:09:19.234
  • I want to see, who is that person."
  • 00:09:19.234 --> 00:09:22.170
  • He loves to be trusted, he loves to be used.
  • 00:09:22.170 --> 00:09:28.777
  • You use me, i'm depleted, you use the lord, it's as if
  • 00:09:28.777 --> 00:09:33.448
  • He's reinvigorated, amen?
  • 00:09:33.448 --> 00:09:38.920
  • "so moses brought this case before the lord."
  • 00:09:42.290 --> 00:09:44.392
  • And it's a brand new case, the lord loves it,
  • 00:09:44.392 --> 00:09:47.262
  • And this is the lord's answer.
  • 00:09:47.262 --> 00:09:48.596
  • "the lord replied to moses, 'the claim of the daughters
  • 00:09:48.596 --> 00:09:51.232
  • Of zelophehad is legitimate.'".
  • 00:09:51.232 --> 00:09:55.136
  • The new king james says they speak right, noble words,
  • 00:09:55.136 --> 00:09:59.507
  • Words that go right up to heaven, to the throne,
  • 00:09:59.507 --> 00:10:05.914
  • To the very heart of the god of israel.
  • 00:10:05.914 --> 00:10:11.086
  • God loves it, god loves bold and simple faith,
  • 00:10:11.086 --> 00:10:15.090
  • And these ladies had it.
  • 00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:16.725
  • And drop down, this is what god said moreover, "and give
  • 00:10:16.725 --> 00:10:21.162
  • The following instructions to the people of israel:"
  • 00:10:21.162 --> 00:10:24.332
  • God is still talking, "if a man dies and has no son,
  • 00:10:24.332 --> 00:10:27.202
  • Then give his inheritance to his daughters."
  • 00:10:27.202 --> 00:10:31.439
  • Because of the daughters of zelophehad this law was put
  • 00:10:31.439 --> 00:10:34.409
  • In place, amen?
  • 00:10:34.409 --> 00:10:36.578
  • See, faith transcends the law and reaches to the heart of god
  • 00:10:36.578 --> 00:10:40.248
  • Time and time again.
  • 00:10:40.248 --> 00:10:41.583
  • You know, must i show you from the sacred book, you know, this
  • 00:10:41.583 --> 00:10:45.687
  • Holy volume, you know, page after page of the abrahams,
  • 00:10:45.687 --> 00:10:50.492
  • Of the sarahs, of the deborahs, of the rahabs,
  • 00:10:50.492 --> 00:10:53.828
  • Of the marys, of the syrophoenicians,
  • 00:10:53.828 --> 00:10:58.666
  • Of that is all a new testament, time and time again,
  • 00:10:58.666 --> 00:11:01.669
  • How faith transcends time and space, and how faith
  • 00:11:01.669 --> 00:11:05.807
  • Brings god's answer into the here and now,
  • 00:11:05.807 --> 00:11:11.146
  • They all inherit, amen?
  • 00:11:11.146 --> 00:11:14.983
  • So, the daughters of zelophehad, now god says, "if he has
  • 00:11:14.983 --> 00:11:18.887
  • No daughter either, transfer his inheritance to his brothers.
  • 00:11:18.887 --> 00:11:22.423
  • If he has no brothers, give his inheritance
  • 00:11:22.423 --> 00:11:24.526
  • To his father's brothers."
  • 00:11:24.526 --> 00:11:26.795
  • Amen.
  • 00:11:26.795 --> 00:11:28.129
  • "but if his father has no brothers, give
  • 00:11:28.129 --> 00:11:29.497
  • His inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan."
  • 00:11:29.497 --> 00:11:33.101
  • All right?
  • 00:11:33.101 --> 00:11:34.435
  • The kinsman-redeemer.
  • 00:11:34.435 --> 00:11:36.204
  • "and this is a legal requirement for the people of israel, just
  • 00:11:36.204 --> 00:11:40.775
  • As the lord commanded moses."
  • 00:11:40.775 --> 00:11:44.279
  • By the way, this is the very beginning of the laws that we
  • 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.881
  • Have today, you know, that give women the right to the husband's
  • 00:11:46.881 --> 00:11:51.786
  • Property when the husband pass on or a father's property, even
  • 00:11:51.786 --> 00:11:57.992
  • Though the father has no sons.
  • 00:11:57.992 --> 00:12:00.361
  • Thank god for the daughters of the zelophehad.
  • 00:12:00.361 --> 00:12:03.097
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:12:03.097 --> 00:12:06.734
  • Inheritance, are you all hungry for what has been bought
  • 00:12:06.734 --> 00:12:09.537
  • For you at a great cost?
  • 00:12:09.537 --> 00:12:11.272
  • What jesus went through was terrible, but he did it
  • 00:12:11.272 --> 00:12:14.442
  • For you and i, amen?
  • 00:12:14.442 --> 00:12:16.411
  • He did it at a great cost because he loves us,
  • 00:12:16.411 --> 00:12:20.114
  • And the lord loves.
  • 00:12:20.114 --> 00:12:22.951
  • You see, you cannot, your faith, when you don't always,
  • 00:12:22.951 --> 00:12:27.455
  • Never have this feeling, that god will scold you
  • 00:12:27.455 --> 00:12:30.625
  • For your bold faith, "how dare you draw from me, how
  • 00:12:30.625 --> 00:12:34.495
  • Dare you ask such a big thing," you know?
  • 00:12:34.495 --> 00:12:37.732
  • He never, there's no rebuke in the bible, in the gospels, when
  • 00:12:37.732 --> 00:12:40.935
  • Jesus rebuked his disciples, it's never, "you ask too much,"
  • 00:12:40.935 --> 00:12:44.906
  • We see kings doing that in dramas, amen?
  • 00:12:44.906 --> 00:12:48.476
  • Even kings would say that, "you ask too much, you ask
  • 00:12:48.476 --> 00:12:52.547
  • For my daughter's hand," or something like that, you know?
  • 00:12:52.547 --> 00:12:54.983
  • Amen, pastor prince might say that, "you ask too much," amen?
  • 00:12:54.983 --> 00:12:59.053
  • I got only one daughter, you see?
  • 00:12:59.053 --> 00:13:02.123
  • Amen.
  • 00:13:02.123 --> 00:13:03.524
  • The rebukes that jesus rebuked his disciples with
  • 00:13:03.524 --> 00:13:06.461
  • In the scriptures and there's more than one time
  • 00:13:06.461 --> 00:13:09.230
  • He did it, it's always, "oh, you of little faith,"
  • 00:13:09.230 --> 00:13:13.768
  • "oh, you of little faith."
  • 00:13:13.768 --> 00:13:15.904
  • Even that is an encouragement when you know that he's telling
  • 00:13:15.904 --> 00:13:18.973
  • You faith is the hand that takes, he's telling you what?
  • 00:13:18.973 --> 00:13:21.776
  • Why do you take so little, why do you take so little from me?
  • 00:13:21.776 --> 00:13:25.980
  • It's never, "oh, you of great faith, you ask too much,"
  • 00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:29.517
  • It's always, "oh, you of little faith, oh, you of little faith."
  • 00:13:29.517 --> 00:13:33.221
  • "wherefore if god so clothed the grass of the field,
  • 00:13:33.221 --> 00:13:37.091
  • Which today is," here, god cares for the lilies of the field,
  • 00:13:37.091 --> 00:13:42.096
  • God cares for the daffodils, the roses, the beautiful flowers
  • 00:13:42.096 --> 00:13:45.633
  • That is here today and gone tomorrow,
  • 00:13:45.633 --> 00:13:48.102
  • If god cares for them and god feeds the birds of the air,
  • 00:13:48.102 --> 00:13:51.205
  • "how much more will he clothe you,"
  • 00:13:51.205 --> 00:13:54.909
  • How much more will he care for you,
  • 00:13:54.909 --> 00:13:57.245
  • "o you of little faith?"
  • 00:13:57.245 --> 00:14:00.081
  • Amen?
  • 00:14:00.081 --> 00:14:01.582
  • And that was why you take so little,
  • 00:14:01.582 --> 00:14:03.017
  • Why you trust me so little?
  • 00:14:03.017 --> 00:14:05.453
  • Amen.
  • 00:14:05.453 --> 00:14:07.188
  • So, we thank god for these ladies,
  • 00:14:07.188 --> 00:14:09.991
  • Had it not been for them, what if they
  • 00:14:09.991 --> 00:14:13.494
  • Did not come forward, what if they did not demonstrate
  • 00:14:13.494 --> 00:14:20.735
  • Bold and simple faith, or passion to want to
  • 00:14:20.735 --> 00:14:24.405
  • Inherit their inheritance?
  • 00:14:24.405 --> 00:14:25.773
  • All the daughters of israel from then on in like situation
  • 00:14:25.773 --> 00:14:29.010
  • Would have been robbed of their portion, amen?
  • 00:14:29.010 --> 00:14:33.114
  • But because of them, there is a new law now, and the law
  • 00:14:33.114 --> 00:14:36.451
  • Will cause any daughters who don't have brothers, amen,
  • 00:14:36.451 --> 00:14:42.490
  • To inherit from the father.
  • 00:14:42.490 --> 00:14:46.761
  • So i thank god that bold faith has consequences
  • 00:14:46.761 --> 00:14:50.031
  • That you don't even see.
  • 00:14:50.031 --> 00:14:51.466
  • Now we look at, now you turn to your bible, before we close,
  • 00:14:51.466 --> 00:14:55.503
  • We're bringing this up close, look at matthew chapter 1.
  • 00:14:55.503 --> 00:14:57.905
  • "the book of the genealogy of jesus christ, the son of david,
  • 00:14:57.905 --> 00:15:00.408
  • The son of abraham."
  • 00:15:00.408 --> 00:15:01.743
  • Now, it should say, all right, the son of adam, it
  • 00:15:01.743 --> 00:15:05.046
  • Should start from adam, right?
  • 00:15:05.046 --> 00:15:07.048
  • But it didn't start from adam.
  • 00:15:07.048 --> 00:15:08.383
  • Now there are two genealogies in the four gospels,
  • 00:15:08.383 --> 00:15:10.018
  • Matthew, mark, luke, and john, there are two genealogies,
  • 00:15:10.018 --> 00:15:12.153
  • One is in matthew, that points to jesus's kingship,
  • 00:15:12.153 --> 00:15:15.323
  • The other one is in luke, that points to his manhood.
  • 00:15:15.323 --> 00:15:17.959
  • In luke's genealogy, it goes all the way to adam,
  • 00:15:17.959 --> 00:15:20.528
  • But matthew's gospel, it's written
  • 00:15:20.528 --> 00:15:23.598
  • Especially to the jews to show them that jesus christ
  • 00:15:23.598 --> 00:15:26.401
  • Is yeshua hamashiach, he is the messiah
  • 00:15:26.401 --> 00:15:29.137
  • And he is the rightful king.
  • 00:15:29.137 --> 00:15:30.671
  • So, it starts with the son of david, even though
  • 00:15:30.671 --> 00:15:33.541
  • David came after abraham, because it's a book written
  • 00:15:33.541 --> 00:15:37.745
  • To establish the rightful claims of the true king of israel.
  • 00:15:37.745 --> 00:15:44.152
  • So it's, "the son of david, son of abraham."
  • 00:15:44.152 --> 00:15:47.021
  • David, the throne, abraham, the land, the inheritance is all
  • 00:15:47.021 --> 00:15:50.792
  • There, so it points to jesus.
  • 00:15:50.792 --> 00:15:52.927
  • "abraham begot isaac, isaac begot jacob, jacob begot judah
  • 00:15:52.927 --> 00:15:55.863
  • And his brothers," and on and on, all right?
  • 00:15:55.863 --> 00:15:58.099
  • All the way to salmon, okay?
  • 00:15:58.099 --> 00:15:59.634
  • Salmon, drop down to salmon, "salmon begot boaz by rahab."
  • 00:15:59.634 --> 00:16:04.205
  • Rahab, remember the story of rahab?
  • 00:16:04.205 --> 00:16:06.808
  • "boaz begot obed by ruth," story of ruth,
  • 00:16:06.808 --> 00:16:10.812
  • Probably my favorite book of the bible, all right,
  • 00:16:10.812 --> 00:16:14.315
  • Story in the bible is ruth.
  • 00:16:14.315 --> 00:16:15.750
  • "obed begot jesse, jesse begot david the king.
  • 00:16:15.750 --> 00:16:18.820
  • David the king begot solomon by her who had been
  • 00:16:18.820 --> 00:16:21.189
  • The wife of uriah."
  • 00:16:21.189 --> 00:16:22.523
  • Okay, let's drop down because of time, we go to josiah,
  • 00:16:22.523 --> 00:16:25.259
  • And now these are all the kings of judah.
  • 00:16:25.259 --> 00:16:27.795
  • "josiah," king josiah, a good king, right?
  • 00:16:27.795 --> 00:16:30.131
  • "begot jeconiah and his brothers about the time they
  • 00:16:30.131 --> 00:16:34.001
  • Were carried away to babylon."
  • 00:16:34.001 --> 00:16:36.671
  • So we find that god blot out one name, jehoiakim, all right?
  • 00:16:36.671 --> 00:16:45.713
  • Just like god says, "i'll blot out his name,
  • 00:16:45.713 --> 00:16:48.382
  • I'll throw out the signet ring," but his son, there was a curse
  • 00:16:48.382 --> 00:16:52.019
  • That was mentioned here for a purpose, jacobiniah.
  • 00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:53.988
  • Remember jacobiniah?
  • 00:16:53.988 --> 00:16:55.456
  • "write this man," what?
  • 00:16:55.456 --> 00:16:56.991
  • "heirless, none of his descendants will sit under,"
  • 00:16:56.991 --> 00:16:59.327
  • But he's in the genealogy of jesus christ.
  • 00:16:59.327 --> 00:17:03.030
  • Uh-oh, what now?
  • 00:17:03.030 --> 00:17:06.100
  • So, "about the time they were carried away to babylon,"
  • 00:17:06.100 --> 00:17:09.036
  • He was the last king, can you see that?
  • 00:17:09.036 --> 00:17:11.572
  • "and after they were brought to babylon, jechoniah
  • 00:17:11.572 --> 00:17:14.041
  • Begot sheathiel," you see, he had sons, and by the way,
  • 00:17:14.041 --> 00:17:18.346
  • Sheathiel is the father of zerubbabel, the governor
  • 00:17:18.346 --> 00:17:21.716
  • In the story of nehemiah.
  • 00:17:21.716 --> 00:17:23.584
  • Remember zerubbabel?
  • 00:17:23.584 --> 00:17:25.319
  • Now, zerubbabel actually has a rightful claim,
  • 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.722
  • Right, to the throne, but there were no more kings
  • 00:17:27.722 --> 00:17:30.658
  • From then on, there were no more kings.
  • 00:17:30.658 --> 00:17:34.128
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:17:34.128 --> 00:17:35.463
  • So, from here, the line came down all the way to joseph,
  • 00:17:35.463 --> 00:17:39.066
  • All right?
  • 00:17:39.066 --> 00:17:40.434
  • "jacob begot joseph the husband of mary, of whom was born jesus
  • 00:17:40.434 --> 00:17:46.040
  • Who is called christ," messiah.
  • 00:17:46.040 --> 00:17:49.710
  • Now, this lineage is from solomon, both genealogies,
  • 00:17:49.710 --> 00:17:55.016
  • Matthew and luke, is from solomon.
  • 00:17:55.016 --> 00:17:57.451
  • Solomon, sorry, from david, i should say david,
  • 00:17:57.451 --> 00:18:01.522
  • David had a son called solomon, this one was jacob.
  • 00:18:01.522 --> 00:18:05.593
  • Let me show you illustration, okay?
  • 00:18:05.593 --> 00:18:06.961
  • Look at this, king david, he had a son called solomon, from
  • 00:18:06.961 --> 00:18:12.033
  • Solomon's line came jeconiah, one of the kings that
  • 00:18:12.033 --> 00:18:14.468
  • Was cursed, and then joseph, joseph was not
  • 00:18:14.468 --> 00:18:18.973
  • The flesh and blood, not the blood father of jesus,
  • 00:18:18.973 --> 00:18:23.678
  • Right?
  • 00:18:23.678 --> 00:18:25.012
  • We can say he's the adopted father, right?
  • 00:18:25.012 --> 00:18:28.516
  • But joseph came from the line, so actually joseph is the king,
  • 00:18:28.516 --> 00:18:31.586
  • Isn't it?
  • 00:18:31.586 --> 00:18:33.955
  • But they were living in humble bethlehem,
  • 00:18:33.955 --> 00:18:36.257
  • Nazareth and bethlehem.
  • 00:18:36.257 --> 00:18:38.025
  • Look at this, he has the regal right of the throne of david.
  • 00:18:38.025 --> 00:18:43.231
  • Joseph, are you with me so far?
  • 00:18:43.231 --> 00:18:46.767
  • Then we come to david through nathan, he had another son
  • 00:18:46.767 --> 00:18:50.004
  • Called nathan.
  • 00:18:50.004 --> 00:18:51.339
  • Say, "nathan."
  • 00:18:51.339 --> 00:18:52.673
  • Now, nathan didn't become king, his brother solomon became king,
  • 00:18:52.673 --> 00:18:55.076
  • But nathan's line, if you follow nathan's line in the gospel
  • 00:18:55.076 --> 00:18:58.446
  • Of luke, it came all the way to heli, the father of mary,
  • 00:18:58.446 --> 00:19:04.452
  • And heli begot mary, the mother of jesus.
  • 00:19:04.452 --> 00:19:08.122
  • Okay, so we have mary, so mary has the legal right,
  • 00:19:08.122 --> 00:19:13.060
  • So there are two claims to the throne of david.
  • 00:19:13.060 --> 00:19:17.198
  • Am i right, am i right?
  • 00:19:17.198 --> 00:19:21.902
  • But here's where it's very interesting, if jesus inherits
  • 00:19:21.902 --> 00:19:27.074
  • From joseph, listen, if he inherits from joseph,
  • 00:19:27.074 --> 00:19:30.544
  • If joseph provided the blood, we all know that
  • 00:19:30.544 --> 00:19:32.913
  • That's why the necessity for the virgin birth, if jesus
  • 00:19:32.913 --> 00:19:36.751
  • Inherited the blood of joseph, if there was no virgin birth,
  • 00:19:36.751 --> 00:19:41.522
  • Then jesus cannot sit on the throne because
  • 00:19:41.522 --> 00:19:44.792
  • That bloodline has been?
  • 00:19:44.792 --> 00:19:48.229
  • You got it.
  • 00:19:48.229 --> 00:19:49.563
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:19:49.563 --> 00:19:50.898
  • But because of the daughters of zelophehad, a virgin has a claim
  • 00:19:50.898 --> 00:20:00.741
  • Because of the daughters of zelophehad, the virgin
  • 00:20:00.741 --> 00:20:04.278
  • Has a claim to the throne, and yet in name she has a claim
  • 00:20:04.278 --> 00:20:08.416
  • On the husband as well, but no blood.
  • 00:20:08.416 --> 00:20:15.022
  • Therefore, jesus evaded the curse, and still become
  • 00:20:15.022 --> 00:20:20.061
  • The rightful king of the throne of david.
  • 00:20:20.061 --> 00:20:26.400
  • Isn't this the wisdom of god?
  • 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:28.602
  • A bold and simple faith of five girls never knew how it
  • 00:20:28.602 --> 00:20:31.706
  • All goes, it's all about jesus, people.
  • 00:20:31.706 --> 00:20:34.308
  • The bible, when you study the scriptures and you know
  • 00:20:34.308 --> 00:20:36.344
  • It's all about jesus, when you study the scriptures,
  • 00:20:36.344 --> 00:20:39.213
  • You'll see that it all goes to the lord, amen.
  • 00:20:39.213 --> 00:20:43.484
  • Gives a new meaning to the meaning "round yon virgin,"
  • 00:20:43.484 --> 00:20:48.322
  • He went around it.
  • 00:20:48.322 --> 00:20:52.026
  • And that's why the necessity for a virgin birth, because
  • 00:20:52.026 --> 00:20:55.196
  • Now medical science tells you that even the virgin,
  • 00:20:55.196 --> 00:20:58.399
  • She's fallen, hello?
  • 00:20:58.399 --> 00:21:03.838
  • There's sin in mary's blood.
  • 00:21:03.838 --> 00:21:06.607
  • But now medical science tells us that the mother does not
  • 00:21:06.607 --> 00:21:08.943
  • Give any of her blood to the baby, amen?
  • 00:21:08.943 --> 00:21:17.818
  • All the nutrients, the food goes to the baby, the baby's blood,
  • 00:21:17.818 --> 00:21:27.862
  • Jesus's blood was determined by the father.
  • 00:21:27.928 --> 00:21:31.198
  • And yet, he probably has some of the looks of mary, obviously,
  • 00:21:31.198 --> 00:21:36.504
  • Jesus is not a fallen body, so he looks perfectly handsome,
  • 00:21:36.504 --> 00:21:43.344
  • Altogether lovely, until he was made,
  • 00:21:43.344 --> 00:21:47.014
  • "there was no beauty in him," isaiah 53,
  • 00:21:47.014 --> 00:21:49.984
  • "that we should desire him."
  • 00:21:49.984 --> 00:21:51.318
  • His visage was marred more than any man, all right?
  • 00:21:51.318 --> 00:21:54.288
  • Imagine someone who has no trace of sin in their blood,
  • 00:21:54.288 --> 00:21:58.192
  • And that's why the virgin birth is important, because if there's
  • 00:21:58.192 --> 00:22:00.928
  • Sin in your blood, the devil has a claim, the devil can stop it,
  • 00:22:00.928 --> 00:22:04.532
  • The devil can, but there's no blood from mary into jesus,
  • 00:22:04.532 --> 00:22:08.702
  • And yet jesus was rightfully born of her.
  • 00:22:08.702 --> 00:22:11.972
  • And with the claim of the law of the daughters of zelophehad,
  • 00:22:11.972 --> 00:22:15.743
  • She has a claim now on her husband's, amen, line,
  • 00:22:15.743 --> 00:22:19.947
  • A double claim.
  • 00:22:19.947 --> 00:22:21.382
  • And you know something else?
  • 00:22:21.382 --> 00:22:22.750
  • No jew, today, can say that, "i'm the rightful king of judah,
  • 00:22:22.750 --> 00:22:28.456
  • I'm the promised king."
  • 00:22:28.456 --> 00:22:30.057
  • No one can say that, you know why?
  • 00:22:30.057 --> 00:22:31.525
  • In a.d. 70, all the records of the genealogy
  • 00:22:31.525 --> 00:22:35.362
  • Were all burned down by the romans,
  • 00:22:35.362 --> 00:22:38.332
  • When they burned jerusalem, all the records
  • 00:22:38.332 --> 00:22:40.167
  • Were burned down, the only record we have now
  • 00:22:40.167 --> 00:22:42.136
  • Of all the genealogy is in the gospel of matthew
  • 00:22:42.136 --> 00:22:45.973
  • And the gospel of luke, it's preserved for all times,
  • 00:22:45.973 --> 00:22:49.477
  • Amen, so that we'll know who is the rightful king.
  • 00:22:49.477 --> 00:22:52.813
  • Come on, church, come on, hallelujah, hallelujah,
  • 00:22:52.813 --> 00:22:56.317
  • Give jesus the praise.
  • 00:22:56.317 --> 00:22:57.651
  • Do you never know when you have a bold and simple faith,
  • 00:22:57.651 --> 00:23:01.755
  • And you ask god, "god, i know i have a choice to make,
  • 00:23:01.755 --> 00:23:04.158
  • But i'm going to trust you for this, lord, i'm going
  • 00:23:04.158 --> 00:23:06.193
  • To trust you for that," god loves it, and god loves it
  • 00:23:06.193 --> 00:23:08.696
  • When you go to him.
  • 00:23:08.696 --> 00:23:10.030
  • And again and again, they will say, "don't you think you've
  • 00:23:10.030 --> 00:23:12.800
  • Come to god too many times for that kind of thing?"
  • 00:23:12.800 --> 00:23:14.635
  • But god says, "i love it."
  • 00:23:14.635 --> 00:23:15.970
  • Don't listen to the voice of the enemy,
  • 00:23:15.970 --> 00:23:17.338
  • A bold and simple faith, faith can never overdraw on its
  • 00:23:17.338 --> 00:23:20.875
  • Account in god's bank, can never overdraw, god loves it, so have
  • 00:23:20.875 --> 00:23:26.146
  • A bold and simple faith, and you never know the consequences
  • 00:23:26.146 --> 00:23:28.649
  • On your children and on your children's children, and it will
  • 00:23:28.649 --> 00:23:31.752
  • Have far-reaching consequences, amen?
  • 00:23:31.752 --> 00:23:34.755
  • Bold faith takes the land, takes the inheritance, amen,
  • 00:23:34.755 --> 00:23:39.994
  • And blesses multitudes, praise the lord.
  • 00:23:39.994 --> 00:23:42.062
  • Give jesus the praise, the glory,
  • 00:23:42.062 --> 00:23:43.497
  • And the honor, hallelujah.
  • 00:23:43.497 --> 00:23:46.834
