  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.010
  • Joseph prince: when you pray in tongues, it's your
  • 00:00:12.455 --> 00:00:13.656
  • Spirit praying, amen?
  • 00:00:13.790 --> 00:00:15.391
  • After through your vocal cords, amen?
  • 00:00:15.525 --> 00:00:16.192
  • But it's your spirit praying.
  • 00:00:17.827 --> 00:00:19.162
  • But the benefit, whoever speaks in an unknown tongue,
  • 00:00:19.162 --> 00:00:21.898
  • Edifies his spirit?
  • 00:00:21.898 --> 00:00:23.800
  • No, himself.
  • 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:25.602
  • The more we pray in the spirit, we'll make our way prosperous.
  • 00:00:25.602 --> 00:00:29.038
  • Male announcer: feeling anxious, stuck, or unsure how to pray?
  • 00:00:29.105 --> 00:00:32.775
  • In today's message, joseph prince shares
  • 00:00:32.775 --> 00:00:34.811
  • How praying in the spirit unlocks god's power
  • 00:00:34.811 --> 00:00:37.714
  • Exactly when you need it most.
  • 00:00:37.714 --> 00:00:40.250
  • Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:42.652
  • With today's program.
  • 00:00:42.652 --> 00:00:44.187
  • Joseph prince: now, god promised us something, something new.
  • 00:00:44.187 --> 00:00:47.590
  • In the old testament, he prophesied about our day and age
  • 00:00:47.590 --> 00:00:50.493
  • In isaiah 41 about a new weapon.
  • 00:00:50.493 --> 00:00:53.329
  • Look at this in isaiah 41: "behold, i have made you a new,
  • 00:00:53.329 --> 00:00:58.768
  • Sharp threshing sledge with double edges."
  • 00:00:58.768 --> 00:01:02.939
  • Now this word "double edges" is from the hebrew, which means
  • 00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:06.876
  • Double mouth.
  • 00:01:06.876 --> 00:01:08.478
  • Double mouth, piphiyyoth.
  • 00:01:08.478 --> 00:01:09.979
  • Double mouth, from the word "peh," your mouth.
  • 00:01:09.979 --> 00:01:12.448
  • Now, "you will thresh the mountains and pulverize them,
  • 00:01:12.448 --> 00:01:16.819
  • And will make the hills like chaff.
  • 00:01:16.819 --> 00:01:19.989
  • You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away,
  • 00:01:19.989 --> 00:01:23.626
  • And the storm will scatter them; but you will rejoice in
  • 00:01:23.626 --> 00:01:27.997
  • The lord, you will glory in the holy one of israel."
  • 00:01:27.997 --> 00:01:30.200
  • Now it says that god will give you a new, sharp
  • 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.270
  • Threshing instrument.
  • 00:01:34.270 --> 00:01:35.638
  • We are about to see this threshing sledge.
  • 00:01:35.638 --> 00:01:38.107
  • The word "edge" there is double mouth.
  • 00:01:38.107 --> 00:01:40.009
  • Literally the edge is from the word "peh" which is
  • 00:01:40.009 --> 00:01:43.413
  • Mouth, amen.
  • 00:01:43.413 --> 00:01:46.149
  • So as we pray in the spirit, we go around our mountain.
  • 00:01:46.149 --> 00:01:50.220
  • We go around our mountain, praise the lord.
  • 00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:52.655
  • You can do this the whole day.
  • 00:01:52.655 --> 00:01:54.657
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:01:54.657 --> 00:01:57.193
  • Like the children of israel went around the walls of jericho.
  • 00:01:57.193 --> 00:02:00.530
  • You go around your problem, amen, wherever you're going,
  • 00:02:00.530 --> 00:02:02.599
  • Amen, in a circuit, praise the lord.
  • 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.835
  • And you're making progress like going up the spiral staircase.
  • 00:02:05.835 --> 00:02:09.639
  • You're going higher.
  • 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.007
  • You're praying in the spirit.
  • 00:02:11.007 --> 00:02:12.342
  • Some conditions that you say, like the doctor says,
  • 00:02:12.342 --> 00:02:15.011
  • In the natural, it might take a long time for you to recover
  • 00:02:15.011 --> 00:02:18.548
  • Or it's incurable or whatever.
  • 00:02:18.548 --> 00:02:19.983
  • You can just pray over it.
  • 00:02:19.983 --> 00:02:21.317
  • Say, "lord, this is what a man says.
  • 00:02:21.317 --> 00:02:23.419
  • They mean well, but the things that are impossible with man is
  • 00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:26.189
  • Possible with god, the bible says.
  • 00:02:26.189 --> 00:02:28.691
  • So i thank you.
  • 00:02:28.691 --> 00:02:30.026
  • Let your holy spirit pray for my heart.
  • 00:02:30.026 --> 00:02:32.095
  • Pray for my lungs.
  • 00:02:32.095 --> 00:02:33.463
  • Pray for my liver."
  • 00:02:33.463 --> 00:02:34.931
  • Just tell the lord.
  • 00:02:34.931 --> 00:02:36.299
  • The lord knows.
  • 00:02:36.299 --> 00:02:37.634
  • The holy spirit in you knows how to make perfect prayers.
  • 00:02:37.634 --> 00:02:39.569
  • And pray. pray in the spirit.
  • 00:02:39.569 --> 00:02:42.272
  • Start praying in the spirit.
  • 00:02:42.272 --> 00:02:43.606
  • Now, i'm not saying it's going to be instantaneous.
  • 00:02:43.606 --> 00:02:44.974
  • Most of the time, you'll find when you pray in the spirit,
  • 00:02:44.974 --> 00:02:46.643
  • It's not like speaking to the mountain
  • 00:02:46.643 --> 00:02:47.977
  • Straight away, amen.
  • 00:02:47.977 --> 00:02:49.379
  • You speak to the mountain, many a times, the mountain moves.
  • 00:02:49.379 --> 00:02:51.781
  • We have prayed for people and instantly, they have
  • 00:02:51.781 --> 00:02:54.017
  • The manifestation.
  • 00:02:54.017 --> 00:02:55.385
  • Whether it's their shoulder pain or whatever it is, they have
  • 00:02:55.385 --> 00:02:57.453
  • An instant manifestation.
  • 00:02:57.453 --> 00:02:58.788
  • That is like mark 11:23, amen.
  • 00:02:58.788 --> 00:03:01.157
  • But this prayer usually is a protracted time.
  • 00:03:01.157 --> 00:03:04.827
  • I tell you what's happening.
  • 00:03:04.827 --> 00:03:06.195
  • The bible says that whoever prays in an unknown tongue
  • 00:03:06.195 --> 00:03:09.966
  • Edifies himself, build himself up.
  • 00:03:09.966 --> 00:03:13.169
  • Build himself up.
  • 00:03:13.169 --> 00:03:15.104
  • I love it.
  • 00:03:15.104 --> 00:03:16.439
  • Now we have thought because our--we thought that--the bible
  • 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.310
  • Says if i pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays.
  • 00:03:20.310 --> 00:03:23.379
  • So that's true.
  • 00:03:23.379 --> 00:03:25.381
  • But it is a wrong conclusion to say, because my spirit prays,
  • 00:03:25.381 --> 00:03:29.552
  • Only my spirit is edified.
  • 00:03:29.552 --> 00:03:31.754
  • That has been a wrong perception that we had of this gift.
  • 00:03:31.754 --> 00:03:37.026
  • When it says, "edify himself," is the total self: spirit, soul,
  • 00:03:37.026 --> 00:03:41.064
  • And body.
  • 00:03:41.064 --> 00:03:42.432
  • The prayer comes from your spirit.
  • 00:03:42.432 --> 00:03:43.966
  • My spirit prays.
  • 00:03:43.966 --> 00:03:45.301
  • When you pray in tongues, it's your spirit praying, amen?
  • 00:03:45.301 --> 00:03:47.937
  • Out through your vocal cords, amen.
  • 00:03:47.937 --> 00:03:50.039
  • But it's the spirit praying.
  • 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:51.641
  • But the benefit, whoever speaks in an unknown tongue edifies
  • 00:03:51.641 --> 00:03:55.311
  • His spirit?
  • 00:03:55.311 --> 00:03:56.679
  • No, himself, his entire self.
  • 00:03:56.679 --> 00:03:58.848
  • But i'll tell you what happens.
  • 00:03:58.848 --> 00:04:00.350
  • Sometimes the first few days when you're praying in tongues
  • 00:04:00.350 --> 00:04:01.951
  • Over your situation, let's say you've got a liver problem
  • 00:04:01.951 --> 00:04:05.254
  • Or whatever it is.
  • 00:04:05.254 --> 00:04:06.622
  • You know, you say, god, your holy spirit knows how to pray
  • 00:04:06.622 --> 00:04:08.658
  • This prayer.
  • 00:04:08.658 --> 00:04:10.026
  • I do not know how to pray as i ought.
  • 00:04:10.026 --> 00:04:11.361
  • But your spirit knows, romans 8:26.
  • 00:04:11.361 --> 00:04:13.863
  • So lord, i just ask that your spirit intercede for me, amen?
  • 00:04:13.863 --> 00:04:17.800
  • And you pray.
  • 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.135
  • Prayer is in the realm of grace.
  • 00:04:19.135 --> 00:04:21.037
  • Because prayer is trusting god to do the work.
  • 00:04:21.037 --> 00:04:23.840
  • Prayer is you resting and you requesting and you are praying,
  • 00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:26.943
  • Asking god to do it.
  • 00:04:26.943 --> 00:04:28.277
  • That's grace, amen.
  • 00:04:28.277 --> 00:04:30.113
  • That's why under the law in the ten commandments,
  • 00:04:30.113 --> 00:04:32.782
  • There is no, there's no, "thou shall pray."
  • 00:04:32.782 --> 00:04:35.051
  • Why?
  • 00:04:35.051 --> 00:04:36.386
  • It's all supposing man's strength.
  • 00:04:36.386 --> 00:04:39.322
  • You shall not, you shall not, you shall not.
  • 00:04:39.322 --> 00:04:41.557
  • It doesn't say, believe god and pray.
  • 00:04:41.557 --> 00:04:44.394
  • Believe god and pray, amen?
  • 00:04:44.394 --> 00:04:46.696
  • It's under grace.
  • 00:04:46.696 --> 00:04:48.030
  • So when you're under grace, the more you pray,
  • 00:04:48.030 --> 00:04:50.433
  • The more you're under grace, amen.
  • 00:04:50.433 --> 00:04:51.801
  • You're living literally under grace, praise the lord,
  • 00:04:51.801 --> 00:04:55.338
  • Hallelujah, amen.
  • 00:04:55.338 --> 00:04:56.706
  • So you pray for your child.
  • 00:04:56.706 --> 00:04:58.040
  • So holy spirit, you know how to pray for my child.
  • 00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:59.509
  • You know how to pray for my husband.
  • 00:04:59.509 --> 00:05:00.843
  • You know how to pray for my wife.
  • 00:05:00.843 --> 00:05:02.211
  • Lord, i release it right now in jesus's name.
  • 00:05:02.211 --> 00:05:04.313
  • [speaking in tongues]
  • 00:05:04.313 --> 00:05:06.315
  • And just trust the lord. sometimes it gets more intense.
  • 00:05:06.315 --> 00:05:09.685
  • You and your husband may even do a warfare, but don't give up.
  • 00:05:09.685 --> 00:05:15.458
  • When that happens, be encouraged, amen.
  • 00:05:15.458 --> 00:05:18.194
  • You know the warfare and the devil is like having his
  • 00:05:18.194 --> 00:05:22.432
  • Final, in the army they call it the last burst of fire.
  • 00:05:22.432 --> 00:05:25.368
  • He's fleeing.
  • 00:05:25.368 --> 00:05:26.736
  • The enemy knows he's defeated.
  • 00:05:26.736 --> 00:05:28.471
  • Because this is a sword of the spirit.
  • 00:05:28.471 --> 00:05:30.206
  • He has no answer for it and you're wielding it
  • 00:05:30.206 --> 00:05:33.309
  • Through praying in the spirit, hallelujah.
  • 00:05:33.309 --> 00:05:37.013
  • And notice that the mountain that's in front of you, whatever
  • 00:05:37.013 --> 00:05:39.382
  • The mountain is, according to isaiah 41, when god gives you
  • 00:05:39.382 --> 00:05:42.084
  • This new threshing sledge, you will thresh the mountains and
  • 00:05:42.084 --> 00:05:45.021
  • Pulverize them.
  • 00:05:45.021 --> 00:05:46.389
  • One thing about this threshing, it takes time to pulverize
  • 00:05:46.389 --> 00:05:49.158
  • The mountain.
  • 00:05:49.158 --> 00:05:50.493
  • You go round and round the mountain like the grain,
  • 00:05:50.493 --> 00:05:52.762
  • Harvested grain.
  • 00:05:52.762 --> 00:05:54.130
  • You go round and round and you thresh the grain under you.
  • 00:05:54.130 --> 00:05:57.033
  • You're praying--the more you go around, the more you are praying
  • 00:05:57.033 --> 00:05:59.335
  • In the spirit, the more you are threshing the mountain.
  • 00:05:59.335 --> 00:06:01.437
  • It's not mark 11:23 where you speak once and it happens.
  • 00:06:01.437 --> 00:06:05.575
  • It is threshing it bit by bit, portion by portion, until you
  • 00:06:05.575 --> 00:06:12.982
  • Make the hills like chaff, from mountain become hills
  • 00:06:12.982 --> 00:06:16.552
  • And become chaff.
  • 00:06:16.552 --> 00:06:17.920
  • You know chaff?
  • 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.255
  • Where the threshing sledge separates the grain, the edible
  • 00:06:19.255 --> 00:06:20.890
  • Part of the grain, right?
  • 00:06:20.890 --> 00:06:24.327
  • The part where you eat, amen.
  • 00:06:24.327 --> 00:06:25.895
  • And from the shell, the husk, the chaff, amen.
  • 00:06:25.895 --> 00:06:29.899
  • And the chaff.
  • 00:06:29.899 --> 00:06:31.267
  • The next stage is this:
  • 00:06:31.267 --> 00:06:32.635
  • "you will winnow them, and the wind
  • 00:06:32.635 --> 00:06:34.237
  • Will carry them away, and the storm will scatter them."
  • 00:06:34.237 --> 00:06:37.406
  • What is winnowing?
  • 00:06:37.406 --> 00:06:38.741
  • If you look at this man here, after the grain is separated
  • 00:06:38.741 --> 00:06:43.579
  • From the chaff, this is what he does.
  • 00:06:43.579 --> 00:06:45.214
  • He takes the winnowing fork.
  • 00:06:45.214 --> 00:06:46.549
  • Can you see, like, it's like a huge fork, right?
  • 00:06:46.549 --> 00:06:50.453
  • Usually made of wood.
  • 00:06:50.453 --> 00:06:51.787
  • And what he does is that after the threshing,
  • 00:06:51.787 --> 00:06:54.790
  • Comes the winnowing.
  • 00:06:54.790 --> 00:06:56.158
  • It's not the other way around.
  • 00:06:56.158 --> 00:06:57.493
  • It's always after the threshing.
  • 00:06:57.493 --> 00:06:58.861
  • Then he will winnow it.
  • 00:06:58.861 --> 00:07:00.196
  • He will take the--because what has happened is that the grain
  • 00:07:00.196 --> 00:07:03.833
  • Has been separated from the chaff, but it's
  • 00:07:03.833 --> 00:07:07.570
  • Still together on the ground.
  • 00:07:07.570 --> 00:07:08.971
  • So what it does, usually a threshing floor will take place
  • 00:07:08.971 --> 00:07:11.274
  • On a high mountain, on a high hill where the wind can be felt,
  • 00:07:11.274 --> 00:07:16.379
  • Amen, in its power.
  • 00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:18.581
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:07:18.581 --> 00:07:19.949
  • So usually in a high place, just like ornan's threshing floor
  • 00:07:19.949 --> 00:07:22.852
  • Where david saw the angel.
  • 00:07:22.852 --> 00:07:24.220
  • Remember that?
  • 00:07:24.220 --> 00:07:25.555
  • It was on mount moriah.
  • 00:07:25.555 --> 00:07:26.889
  • Originally, the temple where the temple of solomon was,
  • 00:07:26.889 --> 00:07:29.692
  • Was the threshing floor of ornan, the jebusite.
  • 00:07:29.692 --> 00:07:33.829
  • He had a threshing floor.
  • 00:07:33.829 --> 00:07:35.164
  • So threshing floors are in a high place to take advantage
  • 00:07:35.164 --> 00:07:36.966
  • Of the wind.
  • 00:07:36.966 --> 00:07:38.301
  • So what they do is that they take the winnowing fork and they
  • 00:07:38.301 --> 00:07:40.202
  • Will dig into the pile that has been crushed, right,
  • 00:07:40.202 --> 00:07:43.806
  • Rather, separated from the grain.
  • 00:07:43.806 --> 00:07:45.975
  • But there's a lot of chaff down there.
  • 00:07:45.975 --> 00:07:48.377
  • How can you get rid of chaff?
  • 00:07:48.377 --> 00:07:50.446
  • It will be very tedious to pick them one by one.
  • 00:07:50.446 --> 00:07:52.682
  • So what they do is they take the winnowing fork and the wind
  • 00:07:52.682 --> 00:07:54.917
  • Is blowing.
  • 00:07:54.917 --> 00:07:56.285
  • They make sure they're not in the direction of the wind
  • 00:07:56.285 --> 00:07:57.787
  • Or the chaff will go into your eye.
  • 00:07:57.787 --> 00:07:59.121
  • They will go with the wind, flow with the wind, my friend.
  • 00:07:59.121 --> 00:08:01.857
  • And they will toss it up in the air and then the wind
  • 00:08:01.857 --> 00:08:05.561
  • Will blow the chaff away.
  • 00:08:05.561 --> 00:08:06.929
  • You know why?
  • 00:08:06.929 --> 00:08:08.264
  • Grain is heavier than the chaff.
  • 00:08:08.264 --> 00:08:11.100
  • The bible says in psalms 1: "the ungodly are not so."
  • 00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:13.069
  • Verse 3, we are like the tree planted by the--whatever we do
  • 00:08:13.069 --> 00:08:16.138
  • Prosper, the last line.
  • 00:08:16.138 --> 00:08:17.506
  • But look at the next verse.
  • 00:08:17.506 --> 00:08:18.975
  • "the ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind
  • 00:08:18.975 --> 00:08:22.912
  • Drives away."
  • 00:08:22.912 --> 00:08:24.981
  • So what the guy does is he toss it in the air, amen.
  • 00:08:24.981 --> 00:08:27.917
  • He toss it in the air and then the wind will blow
  • 00:08:27.917 --> 00:08:30.720
  • Away the chaff.
  • 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:32.054
  • The chaff is light, but the grain will come back down again.
  • 00:08:32.054 --> 00:08:34.390
  • So the more they do that, the more the ground is filled
  • 00:08:34.390 --> 00:08:38.327
  • With grain, hallelujah, hallelujah.
  • 00:08:38.327 --> 00:08:40.796
  • So you know what you do with your mountain
  • 00:08:40.796 --> 00:08:42.765
  • When you're praying in the spirit?
  • 00:08:42.765 --> 00:08:44.100
  • First of all, you're threshing it bit by bit, bit by bit,
  • 00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:48.838
  • As time pass, amen?
  • 00:08:48.838 --> 00:08:50.473
  • You are going in a galil, galilee, amen?
  • 00:08:50.473 --> 00:08:53.275
  • In a circuit.
  • 00:08:53.275 --> 00:08:55.011
  • That's what the name "galilee" means.
  • 00:08:55.011 --> 00:08:56.379
  • You are going in a circuit.
  • 00:08:56.379 --> 00:08:57.713
  • We do not know what's the future, but we are going
  • 00:08:57.713 --> 00:08:59.715
  • One step at a time.
  • 00:08:59.715 --> 00:09:01.083
  • So we are praying in the spirit in a circuit, amen.
  • 00:09:01.083 --> 00:09:04.320
  • You say, "pastor prince, what makes you say that this new
  • 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.456
  • Threshing sledge is praying in the spirit?"
  • 00:09:07.456 --> 00:09:10.159
  • Well, let's go back to isaiah 41.
  • 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:11.994
  • It says "double mouth," right?
  • 00:09:11.994 --> 00:09:15.097
  • Double mouth.
  • 00:09:15.097 --> 00:09:16.465
  • And if you look at psalms 149, it tells you very clearly:
  • 00:09:16.465 --> 00:09:19.869
  • "let the high praises of god be in their mouth, and a two-edged
  • 00:09:19.869 --> 00:09:22.972
  • Sword in their hand."
  • 00:09:22.972 --> 00:09:24.340
  • It's part of a weapon.
  • 00:09:24.340 --> 00:09:25.675
  • This word, "two-edged sword," is exactly the same word you find
  • 00:09:25.675 --> 00:09:28.044
  • A double edge, just now in isaiah 41
  • 00:09:28.044 --> 00:09:32.181
  • Of the new threshing sledge.
  • 00:09:32.181 --> 00:09:33.716
  • Same hebrew word, double mouth.
  • 00:09:33.716 --> 00:09:35.918
  • You know, from the old testament where it says when the son
  • 00:09:35.918 --> 00:09:39.622
  • Of the hated--you see, a man has two wives.
  • 00:09:39.622 --> 00:09:41.524
  • One is a hated wife, one is a loved wife,
  • 00:09:41.524 --> 00:09:42.858
  • Back in those days.
  • 00:09:42.858 --> 00:09:44.360
  • But when it comes to inheritance, amen,
  • 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:48.164
  • The son of the first wife, even though she is rejected,
  • 00:09:48.164 --> 00:09:52.435
  • The son must be the one who has a double portion.
  • 00:09:52.435 --> 00:09:53.969
  • Deuteronomy 21 tells us, look at this part here:
  • 00:09:53.969 --> 00:09:57.673
  • "he shall acknowledge the son of an unloved wife as the firstborn
  • 00:09:57.673 --> 00:10:01.110
  • By giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is
  • 00:10:01.110 --> 00:10:05.114
  • The beginning of his strength; the right of firstborn is his."
  • 00:10:05.114 --> 00:10:07.616
  • A double portion of all that he has.
  • 00:10:07.616 --> 00:10:09.652
  • You know what i found out about this word "double portion,"
  • 00:10:09.652 --> 00:10:12.154
  • My friend?
  • 00:10:12.154 --> 00:10:13.489
  • It says, shenayim peh, that means double mouth, hallelujah.
  • 00:10:13.489 --> 00:10:17.993
  • The word "double portion" is double mouth, hallelujah!
  • 00:10:17.993 --> 00:10:21.530
  • Did you get that?
  • 00:10:21.530 --> 00:10:24.200
  • Amen!
  • 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:25.735
  • No wonder ehud, that man in the book of judges,
  • 00:10:25.735 --> 00:10:28.571
  • That man of god,
  • 00:10:28.571 --> 00:10:30.539
  • Took out a double-edged sword and killed the enemy of israel,
  • 00:10:30.539 --> 00:10:35.177
  • Eglon, who was a very big man.
  • 00:10:35.177 --> 00:10:38.314
  • And the bible says the knife went in, accomplished
  • 00:10:38.314 --> 00:10:41.951
  • Its purpose, hallelujah.
  • 00:10:41.951 --> 00:10:43.586
  • A double mouth.
  • 00:10:43.586 --> 00:10:44.920
  • Remember elisha?
  • 00:10:44.920 --> 00:10:46.288
  • Elijah was about to go back to be with the lord, amen.
  • 00:10:46.288 --> 00:10:49.191
  • And elisha knew that the time for elijah's departure is coming
  • 00:10:49.191 --> 00:10:53.329
  • And elijah turned to elisha and says,
  • 00:10:53.329 --> 00:10:55.331
  • "what do you want from me?"
  • 00:10:55.331 --> 00:10:57.666
  • And this is what elisha said.
  • 00:10:57.666 --> 00:10:59.034
  • "'ask! what may i do for you,'
  • 00:10:59.034 --> 00:11:00.369
  • Elijah asked elisha, 'before i'm taken away from you?'
  • 00:11:00.369 --> 00:11:04.006
  • Elisha said, 'please let a double,'" what?
  • 00:11:04.006 --> 00:11:07.109
  • A double what?
  • 00:11:07.109 --> 00:11:08.444
  • "'portion of your spirit be upon me.'"
  • 00:11:08.444 --> 00:11:11.213
  • And the word there is double mouth, hallelujah.
  • 00:11:11.213 --> 00:11:14.150
  • "please let a double mouth of your spirit be upon me," amen.
  • 00:11:14.150 --> 00:11:18.754
  • "so he said, 'you have asked a hard thing.
  • 00:11:18.754 --> 00:11:20.756
  • Nevertheless, if you see me when i'm taken from you,
  • 00:11:20.756 --> 00:11:23.192
  • It shall be so for you;
  • 00:11:23.192 --> 00:11:24.527
  • But if not, it shall not be so.'"
  • 00:11:24.527 --> 00:11:26.529
  • Listen, my friend, this is a picture of the tongues that is
  • 00:11:26.529 --> 00:11:28.731
  • To be released in our day and age.
  • 00:11:28.731 --> 00:11:30.599
  • It is not that elisha received praying tongues.
  • 00:11:30.599 --> 00:11:33.269
  • But the idea of the double portion,
  • 00:11:33.269 --> 00:11:34.637
  • God hid in there.
  • 00:11:34.637 --> 00:11:36.672
  • Something for us to see that the double portion of all
  • 00:11:36.672 --> 00:11:40.342
  • That the firstborn will receive the double portion.
  • 00:11:40.342 --> 00:11:43.245
  • The word "double portion" is double mouth.
  • 00:11:43.245 --> 00:11:45.080
  • Why does god say that?
  • 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.515
  • Because god must esteem for us this gift highly.
  • 00:11:46.515 --> 00:11:50.352
  • Look at this: "for the word of god is living and powerful,
  • 00:11:50.352 --> 00:11:52.955
  • And sharper than any two-edged sword."
  • 00:11:52.955 --> 00:11:55.391
  • So the word "distomos," we separate the word "di," is
  • 00:11:55.391 --> 00:11:58.994
  • The word "double," and "stomos," what did i say just now?
  • 00:11:58.994 --> 00:12:02.298
  • Is "double mouth," literally, distomos.
  • 00:12:02.298 --> 00:12:05.568
  • Now, do you know?
  • 00:12:05.568 --> 00:12:06.902
  • Think about the word "stomos."
  • 00:12:06.902 --> 00:12:08.270
  • Does it remind you of something?
  • 00:12:08.270 --> 00:12:09.605
  • Yes, the word "stomos," greek for mouth, is also the word
  • 00:12:09.605 --> 00:12:12.541
  • "stomos" where we get our english word, the english word
  • 00:12:12.541 --> 00:12:15.911
  • "stomata" of the plant.
  • 00:12:15.911 --> 00:12:17.947
  • Now the stomata of the plant is literally the mouth
  • 00:12:17.947 --> 00:12:21.350
  • Of the plant.
  • 00:12:21.350 --> 00:12:22.685
  • Where do you find the stomata?
  • 00:12:22.685 --> 00:12:24.019
  • The stomata is the cell structure on the leaf
  • 00:12:24.019 --> 00:12:27.456
  • Of the plant.
  • 00:12:27.456 --> 00:12:28.824
  • Under the microscope, you can actually see the stomata.
  • 00:12:28.824 --> 00:12:31.894
  • It looks like our lips.
  • 00:12:31.894 --> 00:12:33.229
  • Literally our mouth, amen.
  • 00:12:33.229 --> 00:12:35.664
  • So the stoma will open to allow the exchange of carbon dioxide
  • 00:12:35.664 --> 00:12:41.337
  • And water between plant and the atmosphere.
  • 00:12:41.337 --> 00:12:45.908
  • And when the stomata is open, there's this exchange
  • 00:12:45.908 --> 00:12:48.177
  • Taking place.
  • 00:12:48.177 --> 00:12:51.013
  • Now they were studying on this stoma, the mouth of the plant,
  • 00:12:51.013 --> 00:12:55.251
  • Literally from the greek word "stomos."
  • 00:12:55.251 --> 00:12:57.386
  • Distomos.
  • 00:12:57.386 --> 00:12:58.721
  • Di means two, two mouths.
  • 00:12:58.721 --> 00:13:00.556
  • They were studying about plants, some plants that they find
  • 00:13:00.556 --> 00:13:05.027
  • In the wild that grows luscious and green and big.
  • 00:13:05.027 --> 00:13:10.399
  • The trees are big.
  • 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:12.134
  • But when they bring back those seed and plant near their city
  • 00:13:12.134 --> 00:13:17.373
  • Life and all that, these are experiments been done
  • 00:13:17.373 --> 00:13:19.842
  • Under controlled environment and all that, they found that
  • 00:13:19.842 --> 00:13:22.244
  • The plants, the trees, don't grow as large as those trees
  • 00:13:22.244 --> 00:13:26.215
  • In the jungle or those trees in the wild.
  • 00:13:26.215 --> 00:13:28.284
  • So all the ingredients are the same.
  • 00:13:28.284 --> 00:13:30.019
  • They put it under controlled environment.
  • 00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:32.488
  • They give it all the necessary exchange of gases
  • 00:13:32.488 --> 00:13:36.191
  • Like carbon dioxide and water and sunlight to make sure
  • 00:13:36.191 --> 00:13:40.930
  • It's plentiful and all that.
  • 00:13:40.930 --> 00:13:42.631
  • But they tried everything, you know, the condition.
  • 00:13:42.631 --> 00:13:44.533
  • Something is missing because when they experiment
  • 00:13:44.533 --> 00:13:47.236
  • Under a controlled environment, those trees and plants don't
  • 00:13:47.236 --> 00:13:50.105
  • Grow as lush, as lush, as green, as those in the wild.
  • 00:13:50.105 --> 00:13:54.276
  • Finally, they found out the missing ingredient.
  • 00:13:54.276 --> 00:13:56.912
  • You know what was it?
  • 00:13:56.912 --> 00:13:59.548
  • The sounds of the jungle.
  • 00:13:59.548 --> 00:14:02.918
  • The sounds of the wild.
  • 00:14:02.918 --> 00:14:04.687
  • The sounds of the cricket, the animals, and even
  • 00:14:04.687 --> 00:14:09.792
  • The surrounding winds.
  • 00:14:09.792 --> 00:14:12.127
  • The special unique sounds that you find in the jungle
  • 00:14:12.127 --> 00:14:15.364
  • That you don't find in this controlled environment.
  • 00:14:15.364 --> 00:14:18.067
  • And those sounds they found has an effect in opening up
  • 00:14:18.067 --> 00:14:22.871
  • The stoma, the mouth of the plants, where the exchange
  • 00:14:22.871 --> 00:14:27.910
  • Can take place.
  • 00:14:27.910 --> 00:14:29.778
  • I submit to you, my friend, i believe god is teaching us that
  • 00:14:29.778 --> 00:14:33.182
  • The sound of praying in tongues,
  • 00:14:33.182 --> 00:14:35.150
  • The sound of praying in the spirit,
  • 00:14:35.150 --> 00:14:36.652
  • Will cause our spirit man to be open to all
  • 00:14:36.652 --> 00:14:40.356
  • That god has for us, to receive the gifts of the spirit,
  • 00:14:40.356 --> 00:14:42.691
  • To receive the double portion anointing that elisha
  • 00:14:42.691 --> 00:14:44.560
  • Asked from elijah, amen?
  • 00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:47.997
  • And notice that that double portion came on him
  • 00:14:47.997 --> 00:14:50.432
  • When he saw--you know what, let me tell you
  • 00:14:50.432 --> 00:14:54.303
  • What elijah told him.
  • 00:14:54.303 --> 00:14:55.637
  • Let's finish off that story, amen?
  • 00:14:55.637 --> 00:14:58.073
  • "so elijah says, 'you have asked a hard thing.
  • 00:14:58.073 --> 00:15:00.909
  • Nevertheless, if you see me when i'm taken from you,
  • 00:15:00.909 --> 00:15:03.178
  • It shall be so for you; but if not,
  • 00:15:03.178 --> 00:15:04.747
  • It shall not be so.'
  • 00:15:04.747 --> 00:15:06.081
  • Then it happened, as they continued to talk, there
  • 00:15:06.081 --> 00:15:08.250
  • Suddenly appeared a chariot of fire with horses, and separated
  • 00:15:08.250 --> 00:15:10.753
  • The two of them; elijah went up by a whirlwind.
  • 00:15:10.753 --> 00:15:13.489
  • Elisha saw it and cried, 'my father, my father,
  • 00:15:13.489 --> 00:15:15.958
  • The chariot of israel and its horsemen!'
  • 00:15:15.958 --> 00:15:18.861
  • So he saw him no more.
  • 00:15:18.861 --> 00:15:20.229
  • And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two
  • 00:15:20.229 --> 00:15:22.698
  • Pieces," and he took the mantle of elijah.
  • 00:15:22.698 --> 00:15:25.167
  • Listen carefully.
  • 00:15:25.167 --> 00:15:26.502
  • This is a picture of the day of pentecost, amen,
  • 00:15:26.502 --> 00:15:30.472
  • When you see jesus ascend, amen.
  • 00:15:30.472 --> 00:15:31.940
  • If you see jesus ascend, if you see the lord ascend,
  • 00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:36.779
  • What happens?
  • 00:15:36.779 --> 00:15:38.113
  • The holy spirit comes on you.
  • 00:15:38.113 --> 00:15:39.481
  • The only reason the holy spirit comes--remember in john 7,
  • 00:15:39.481 --> 00:15:41.884
  • It says: "the spirit was not yet given at that time because jesus
  • 00:15:41.884 --> 00:15:45.421
  • Was not yet glorified."
  • 00:15:45.421 --> 00:15:48.524
  • And in the book of acts, it says that "because the father
  • 00:15:48.524 --> 00:15:51.660
  • Has glorified jesus, he has shed forth the holy spirit."
  • 00:15:51.660 --> 00:15:55.964
  • So the reason we receive the holy spirit is because jesus
  • 00:15:55.964 --> 00:15:59.034
  • Has been glorified, amen.
  • 00:15:59.034 --> 00:16:02.438
  • So that's what elijah said to elisha: "if you see me go up,
  • 00:16:02.438 --> 00:16:06.241
  • Unless your eye is on me when i go up, you cannot receive.
  • 00:16:06.241 --> 00:16:09.978
  • You've asked a hard thing."
  • 00:16:09.978 --> 00:16:11.313
  • So what happened to us? we see jesus glorified.
  • 00:16:11.313 --> 00:16:13.348
  • And what happened? we all speak in tongues.
  • 00:16:13.348 --> 00:16:16.051
  • We all say, "my father, my father."
  • 00:16:16.051 --> 00:16:17.719
  • Exactly the words that elisha cried out.
  • 00:16:17.719 --> 00:16:20.522
  • "my father, my father."
  • 00:16:20.522 --> 00:16:23.258
  • "eli, eli," is what jesus cried at the cross.
  • 00:16:23.258 --> 00:16:25.694
  • Eli is my god, my god.
  • 00:16:25.694 --> 00:16:27.062
  • So that you and i can say, "avi, avi,"
  • 00:16:27.062 --> 00:16:28.864
  • My father, my father.
  • 00:16:28.864 --> 00:16:31.366
  • And the bible says you can only cry "my father"
  • 00:16:31.366 --> 00:16:34.136
  • Because the spirit of his son is in you.
  • 00:16:34.136 --> 00:16:36.772
  • Wherefore we cry, "abba father."
  • 00:16:36.772 --> 00:16:38.941
  • Why? because of the spirit.
  • 00:16:38.941 --> 00:16:40.976
  • He has shed forth the spirit of his son in you, whereby we
  • 00:16:40.976 --> 00:16:44.079
  • Cry, "abba," father, "abba."
  • 00:16:44.079 --> 00:16:46.181
  • Avi is "my father," hallelujah, hallelujah.
  • 00:16:46.181 --> 00:16:51.320
  • Friend, that's your double portion,
  • 00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.489
  • Firstborn inheritance.
  • 00:16:53.489 --> 00:16:55.624
  • Don't neglect it.
  • 00:16:55.624 --> 00:16:58.260
  • It is a gift of grace.
  • 00:16:58.260 --> 00:17:00.729
  • It is a gift, i would say, that lights up all the other gifts.
  • 00:17:00.729 --> 00:17:03.832
  • Like the menorah, you know the nine--the hanukkah menorah,
  • 00:17:03.832 --> 00:17:08.370
  • Is a nine-branch candelabra.
  • 00:17:08.370 --> 00:17:10.639
  • You know what they do?
  • 00:17:10.639 --> 00:17:11.974
  • They take the center candle, amen, and then they light up
  • 00:17:11.974 --> 00:17:16.378
  • The rest.
  • 00:17:16.378 --> 00:17:17.746
  • They use the center candle.
  • 00:17:17.746 --> 00:17:19.081
  • The bible says the gifts of the spirit manifest
  • 00:17:19.081 --> 00:17:21.717
  • As the spirit wills.
  • 00:17:21.717 --> 00:17:23.619
  • But you know something?
  • 00:17:23.619 --> 00:17:24.953
  • There's only one gift that you can operate as you will.
  • 00:17:24.953 --> 00:17:27.456
  • You can pray in tongues anytime.
  • 00:17:27.456 --> 00:17:29.291
  • So it's like you take the middle candle, which is praying
  • 00:17:29.291 --> 00:17:32.161
  • To the spirit, and you light up the word of wisdom.
  • 00:17:32.161 --> 00:17:34.763
  • You light up the word of knowledge.
  • 00:17:34.763 --> 00:17:36.665
  • You light up all the nine gifts of the spirit.
  • 00:17:36.665 --> 00:17:43.539
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:45.541
  • Praise the name of jesus.
  • 00:17:45.541 --> 00:17:47.943
  • Friend, this is your inheritance.
  • 00:17:47.943 --> 00:17:49.878
  • I'll close with this.
  • 00:17:49.878 --> 00:17:51.246
  • What was the law under the old is now the spirit in the new.
  • 00:17:51.246 --> 00:17:57.119
  • When god gave the law, what feast was that?
  • 00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.022
  • Feast of pentecost.
  • 00:18:00.022 --> 00:18:01.390
  • The very first feast of pentecost, shavuot,
  • 00:18:01.390 --> 00:18:04.359
  • The jewish rabbis will tell you that.
  • 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.496
  • The first pentecost, they celebrate the giving of the law.
  • 00:18:07.496 --> 00:18:10.866
  • What mountain was it?
  • 00:18:10.866 --> 00:18:12.201
  • Mount sinai.
  • 00:18:12.201 --> 00:18:14.303
  • What happened?
  • 00:18:14.303 --> 00:18:15.637
  • Three thousand people died.
  • 00:18:15.637 --> 00:18:17.005
  • Then when the day of pentecost, so telling,
  • 00:18:17.005 --> 00:18:19.141
  • When the day of pentecost was fully in you, what happened?
  • 00:18:19.141 --> 00:18:24.012
  • God gave the spirit, not the law.
  • 00:18:24.012 --> 00:18:26.215
  • We celebrate pentecost as the giving of the spirit.
  • 00:18:26.215 --> 00:18:30.719
  • And what happened?
  • 00:18:30.719 --> 00:18:32.054
  • Which mountain was it?
  • 00:18:32.054 --> 00:18:33.388
  • Mount zion, amen.
  • 00:18:33.388 --> 00:18:34.756
  • The mountain of grace.
  • 00:18:34.756 --> 00:18:36.091
  • And what happened?
  • 00:18:36.091 --> 00:18:37.459
  • Three thousand people were saved.
  • 00:18:37.459 --> 00:18:39.127
  • Over here, 3000 people died;
  • 00:18:39.127 --> 00:18:40.662
  • Over here, 3000 people were saved.
  • 00:18:40.662 --> 00:18:43.365
  • So what is the law is now the spirit.
  • 00:18:43.365 --> 00:18:45.701
  • That changes everything, how we interpret the bible.
  • 00:18:45.701 --> 00:18:47.736
  • When we look at the old testament
  • 00:18:47.736 --> 00:18:49.071
  • With new testament eyes,
  • 00:18:49.071 --> 00:18:50.939
  • We interpret everything through the lens of grace.
  • 00:18:50.939 --> 00:18:53.475
  • We still study the old testament but where we see verses like
  • 00:18:53.475 --> 00:18:56.011
  • This, joshua 1:8 where it says, "this book of the law shall not
  • 00:18:56.011 --> 00:19:00.282
  • Depart from your mouth," shall not depart from where?
  • 00:19:00.282 --> 00:19:04.119
  • From your mouth.
  • 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:05.554
  • Very familiar to isaiah 59.
  • 00:19:05.554 --> 00:19:07.956
  • Go back to isaiah 59: "my words shall not--which i have put in
  • 00:19:07.956 --> 00:19:13.095
  • Your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth."
  • 00:19:13.095 --> 00:19:15.030
  • Same words.
  • 00:19:15.030 --> 00:19:16.365
  • But what is the law now?
  • 00:19:16.365 --> 00:19:17.733
  • What was the law then?
  • 00:19:17.733 --> 00:19:19.067
  • Joshua 1:8, it says: "this book of the law shall not
  • 00:19:19.067 --> 00:19:20.669
  • Depart from your mouth."
  • 00:19:20.669 --> 00:19:23.005
  • So we can change it to: "these words--"
  • 00:19:23.005 --> 00:19:25.274
  • Book means the words.
  • 00:19:25.274 --> 00:19:26.775
  • "the words of the law shall not depart from your mouth."
  • 00:19:26.775 --> 00:19:29.077
  • Literally, it says: "you shall meditate."
  • 00:19:29.077 --> 00:19:30.912
  • The word "meditate" is hagah, which is the word "mutter."
  • 00:19:30.912 --> 00:19:33.649
  • "mutter in it day and night, that you may observe to do
  • 00:19:33.649 --> 00:19:37.252
  • According to all that is written in it.
  • 00:19:37.252 --> 00:19:38.820
  • For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you
  • 00:19:38.820 --> 00:19:42.457
  • Will have good success."
  • 00:19:42.457 --> 00:19:44.793
  • So we say, you know, what we do is that it's wrong when we teach
  • 00:19:44.793 --> 00:19:47.029
  • The verse, today we must keep joshua 1:8,
  • 00:19:47.029 --> 00:19:49.598
  • "this book of the law shall not depart--"
  • 00:19:49.598 --> 00:19:50.932
  • You know what they meditate on?
  • 00:19:50.932 --> 00:19:52.734
  • "and the intestines of the shelamim, of the peace offering,
  • 00:19:52.734 --> 00:19:57.139
  • You shall lay in accordance with it."
  • 00:19:57.139 --> 00:19:58.874
  • These are things they meditate on.
  • 00:19:58.874 --> 00:20:00.475
  • Literally, the book of the law, which means the words
  • 00:20:00.475 --> 00:20:03.178
  • Of the law, they mutter day and night in order for them
  • 00:20:03.178 --> 00:20:07.716
  • To prosper in all their ways and have good success.
  • 00:20:07.716 --> 00:20:09.318
  • But today, we, as new covenant people, we take this verse
  • 00:20:09.318 --> 00:20:12.888
  • And we say the words of the spirit, as in isaiah 59,
  • 00:20:12.888 --> 00:20:17.092
  • Shall not depart from our mouth.
  • 00:20:17.092 --> 00:20:18.660
  • The more we pray in the spirit, we will make our way prosperous
  • 00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:21.663
  • And we will have good success, hallelujah, amen.
  • 00:20:21.663 --> 00:20:30.772
  • We don't try to keep the law.
  • 00:20:30.772 --> 00:20:34.443
  • It brings us under the curse, amen.
  • 00:20:34.443 --> 00:20:36.011
  • We just pray in the spirit.
  • 00:20:36.011 --> 00:20:37.713
  • And don't worry about holiness.
  • 00:20:37.713 --> 00:20:39.081
  • It will be fulfilled in us.
  • 00:20:39.081 --> 00:20:40.749
  • Don't worry about power.
  • 00:20:40.749 --> 00:20:42.117
  • It will manifest through us.
  • 00:20:42.117 --> 00:20:43.452
  • Don't worry about results, amen.
  • 00:20:43.452 --> 00:20:45.520
  • You will cause the mountains to become like hills and hills
  • 00:20:45.520 --> 00:20:48.857
  • Like chaff and the wind will drive them away, amen.
  • 00:20:48.857 --> 00:20:54.029
  • Praise the name of jesus, hallelujah.
  • 00:20:54.029 --> 00:20:57.366
  • What about psalms 1?
  • 00:20:57.366 --> 00:20:58.700
  • Let's close with psalms 1, shall we?
  • 00:20:58.700 --> 00:21:00.602
  • It says what?
  • 00:21:00.602 --> 00:21:01.970
  • "blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel
  • 00:21:01.970 --> 00:21:03.972
  • Of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners,
  • 00:21:03.972 --> 00:21:06.608
  • Nor sits in the seat of the scornful.
  • 00:21:06.608 --> 00:21:07.943
  • But his delight is," what?
  • 00:21:07.943 --> 00:21:09.311
  • "in the law of the lord, and in his law," he what?
  • 00:21:09.311 --> 00:21:12.681
  • Same hebrew word as in joshua 1:8.
  • 00:21:12.681 --> 00:21:15.851
  • "he meditates," which is hebrew, hagah, mutter.
  • 00:21:15.851 --> 00:21:20.188
  • "in his law he mutters day and night."
  • 00:21:20.188 --> 00:21:21.890
  • But today, when we look
  • 00:21:21.890 --> 00:21:23.225
  • At this verse through the lens of grace,
  • 00:21:23.225 --> 00:21:26.695
  • We say, in the spirit we pray.
  • 00:21:26.695 --> 00:21:31.032
  • We pray in the spirit, amen, day and night.
  • 00:21:31.032 --> 00:21:34.436
  • And what's going to happen to us?
  • 00:21:34.436 --> 00:21:35.771
  • "we will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
  • 00:21:35.771 --> 00:21:39.007
  • That brings forth its fruit in its season,
  • 00:21:39.007 --> 00:21:40.776
  • Its leaf also shall not wither."
  • 00:21:40.776 --> 00:21:43.145
  • That means you will stay forever young.
  • 00:21:43.145 --> 00:21:44.913
  • "shall not wither" means you'll be evergreen, amen?
  • 00:21:44.913 --> 00:21:48.950
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:21:48.950 --> 00:21:50.285
  • Your stomata is all open, amen, to receive
  • 00:21:50.285 --> 00:21:51.953
  • And to exchange, hallelujah.
  • 00:21:51.953 --> 00:21:54.156
  • "and whatever you do," hallelujah, i love this.
  • 00:21:54.156 --> 00:21:57.559
  • "whatever you do shall prosper."
  • 00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:00.896
  • You will not be like the person in the next verse where he
  • 00:22:00.896 --> 00:22:03.298
  • Will be "like the chaff which the wind drives away."
  • 00:22:03.298 --> 00:22:05.901
  • Go back to verse 3: "whatever he does shall prosper."
  • 00:22:05.901 --> 00:22:09.971
  • Just by praying in the spirit, amen?
  • 00:22:09.971 --> 00:22:12.073
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:22:12.073 --> 00:22:13.408
  • We'll pray in the spirit.
  • 00:22:13.408 --> 00:22:14.776
  • And when you pray in the spirit, it transcends the prayer.
  • 00:22:14.776 --> 00:22:16.244
  • I'm not saying you can't pray in english.
  • 00:22:16.244 --> 00:22:17.612
  • By all means, but pray in the spirit first and then pray
  • 00:22:17.612 --> 00:22:19.347
  • With your understanding after.
  • 00:22:19.347 --> 00:22:21.783
  • Because when you pray in the spirit, like paul says,
  • 00:22:21.783 --> 00:22:24.820
  • When you speak five words, your five words will be pregnant
  • 00:22:24.820 --> 00:22:27.823
  • With power, with pungency, amen.
  • 00:22:27.823 --> 00:22:31.493
  • Your five words will be anointed.
  • 00:22:31.493 --> 00:22:33.061
  • They'll be spirit and life.
  • 00:22:33.061 --> 00:22:34.429
  • Your five words in english will be more powerful when you
  • 00:22:34.429 --> 00:22:36.565
  • Pray thousands of words in tongues before you
  • 00:22:36.565 --> 00:22:39.201
  • Speak, hallelujah.
  • 00:22:39.201 --> 00:22:42.337
  • Thank you, lord jesus.
  • 00:22:42.337 --> 00:22:44.139
