Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - This Prayer Is God’s Gift To You | October 2, 2025
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:04.880
- Joseph prince: so i want to encourage you,
- 00:00:13.088 --> 00:00:14.289
- Child of god: keep on praying in the spirit, amen.
- 00:00:14.423 --> 00:00:17.259
- And we have been touching on law and grace.
- 00:00:17.392 --> 00:00:18.160
- And this is a special prayer that is only unique
- 00:00:19.628 --> 00:00:22.664
- For this new covenant of grace.
- 00:00:22.664 --> 00:00:24.633
- During this new covenant of grace,
- 00:00:24.633 --> 00:00:26.635
- We see this gift manifesting, amen?
- 00:00:26.635 --> 00:00:29.505
- In fact, it's the prayer language
- 00:00:29.505 --> 00:00:30.839
- That never existed in the old testament.
- 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:32.474
- They did pray in the old testament,
- 00:00:32.474 --> 00:00:33.842
- But they prayed with their understanding,
- 00:00:33.842 --> 00:00:35.410
- Which is limited.
- 00:00:35.410 --> 00:00:36.745
- It's a unique prayer, prayer 2.0,
- 00:00:36.745 --> 00:00:39.715
- That is just especially for this new covenant people--
- 00:00:39.715 --> 00:00:44.419
- Amen?--who have the holy spirit in them--not just on them--
- 00:00:44.419 --> 00:00:48.357
- In them, hallelujah.
- 00:00:48.357 --> 00:00:49.825
- So we are the new covenant people.
- 00:00:49.825 --> 00:00:51.894
- We have the holy spirit in us.
- 00:00:51.894 --> 00:00:53.395
- So the more you pray in the spirit,
- 00:00:53.395 --> 00:00:54.963
- The more you are led by the spirit.
- 00:00:54.963 --> 00:00:57.099
- Male announcer: feeling anxious, stuck, or unsure how to pray?
- 00:00:57.166 --> 00:01:00.836
- In today's message, joseph prince shares
- 00:01:00.836 --> 00:01:02.871
- How praying in the spirit unlocks god's power
- 00:01:02.871 --> 00:01:05.774
- Exactly when you need it most.
- 00:01:05.774 --> 00:01:08.043
- Announcer: what if there was a way to experience
- 00:01:08.043 --> 00:01:09.645
- Peace in your mind, clarity in your decisions,
- 00:01:09.645 --> 00:01:12.948
- And power in your everyday life?
- 00:01:12.948 --> 00:01:15.184
- The lord has already provided a way

- Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
- 00:02:00.529 --> 00:02:02.931
- With today's program.
- 00:02:02.931 --> 00:02:04.333
- Joseph prince: the bible says the entrance of god's words
- 00:02:04.333 --> 00:02:07.302
- Give light, amen?
- 00:02:07.302 --> 00:02:09.071
- Regardless of what we are faced with,
- 00:02:09.071 --> 00:02:11.073
- Sometimes the word might not speak specifically
- 00:02:11.073 --> 00:02:14.409
- To the area or situation that we are having battle with,
- 00:02:14.409 --> 00:02:18.547
- But the entrance of god's words give light.
- 00:02:18.547 --> 00:02:21.717
- It will give light on that area as well.
- 00:02:21.717 --> 00:02:24.820
- You know, when you lose something in a dark room--
- 00:02:24.820 --> 00:02:27.689
- Let's say you lose your car keys, for example.
- 00:02:27.689 --> 00:02:30.959
- You don't know where is it, amen?
- 00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:33.295
- You switch on the light in the room,
- 00:02:33.295 --> 00:02:36.031
- And you start looking for it
- 00:02:36.031 --> 00:02:37.666
- Because the light will not just uncover the lost key,
- 00:02:37.666 --> 00:02:40.535
- It might uncover other items as well.
- 00:02:40.535 --> 00:02:42.971
- What we need is the light, amen? and we don't curse the darkness.
- 00:02:42.971 --> 00:02:47.109
- We don't complain about the darkness.
- 00:02:47.109 --> 00:02:49.144
- We don't keep on looking at the darkness
- 00:02:49.144 --> 00:02:50.612
- And wish that it will be bright, amen?
- 00:02:50.612 --> 00:02:53.649
- We just switch on the light, amen?
- 00:02:53.649 --> 00:02:55.384
- So the entrance of god's words give light.
- 00:02:55.384 --> 00:02:57.386
- It is the solution to everything, amen?
- 00:02:57.386 --> 00:02:59.121
- Praise the lord.
- 00:02:59.121 --> 00:03:00.455
- As god's first words were "light be,"
- 00:03:00.455 --> 00:03:03.859
- And there was light.
- 00:03:03.859 --> 00:03:05.193
- And god saw that light was good.
- 00:03:05.193 --> 00:03:06.962
- May we receive light from his word today, amen.
- 00:03:06.962 --> 00:03:09.231
- Isaiah chapter 59, if you look up here,
- 00:03:09.231 --> 00:03:12.834
- It says, "so shall they fear
- 00:03:12.834 --> 00:03:14.303
- The name of the lord from the west,"
- 00:03:14.303 --> 00:03:16.305
- And we touch on the fact that the restoration
- 00:03:16.305 --> 00:03:19.708
- Of the power of the name of jesus,
- 00:03:19.708 --> 00:03:21.576
- The power attorney in the name of jesus,
- 00:03:21.576 --> 00:03:25.013
- Has largely come from the west.
- 00:03:25.013 --> 00:03:27.215
- And his emphasis in these last days
- 00:03:27.215 --> 00:03:28.917
- Is that he's gonna cause there to be a worldwide revival
- 00:03:28.917 --> 00:03:32.454
- As prophesied by the prophet joel.
- 00:03:32.454 --> 00:03:34.656
- "it shall come to pass in the last days,
- 00:03:34.656 --> 00:03:36.858
- I'll pour out my spirit upon all flesh,"
- 00:03:36.858 --> 00:03:40.395
- All flesh, all nationalities--amen?--
- 00:03:40.395 --> 00:03:43.265
- All flesh all over the world.
- 00:03:43.265 --> 00:03:44.800
- People from the west, east--amen?--
- 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.668
- All over the world will receive the baptism of the holy spirit.
- 00:03:46.668 --> 00:03:50.339
- "and your young men shall see visions;
- 00:03:50.339 --> 00:03:52.341
- And your old men will dream dreams," hallelujah.
- 00:03:52.341 --> 00:03:55.544
- "and your handmaidens will prophesy,"
- 00:03:55.544 --> 00:03:57.879
- And god says, "and they shall prophesy:
- 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.549
- And i will show--" now, those words go together.
- 00:04:00.549 --> 00:04:03.385
- "they will prophesy: and i will show wonders," amen?
- 00:04:03.385 --> 00:04:07.055
- When we prophesy, god is going to demonstrate
- 00:04:07.055 --> 00:04:08.924
- His wonders.
- 00:04:08.924 --> 00:04:10.425
- Amen, praise the lord. so we are in these days.
- 00:04:10.425 --> 00:04:12.627
- And the bible says, during these days,
- 00:04:12.627 --> 00:04:14.529
- What's going to happen is that the enemy--
- 00:04:14.529 --> 00:04:16.665
- "when the enemy comes in like a flood--"
- 00:04:16.665 --> 00:04:18.200
- So we see that happening even in the world today.
- 00:04:18.200 --> 00:04:20.902
- Now, this is by no means the only explanation, okay?
- 00:04:20.902 --> 00:04:24.005
- The enemy is gonna do things that will cover the earth.
- 00:04:24.005 --> 00:04:26.575
- He's trying to imitate god where god says,
- 00:04:26.575 --> 00:04:28.577
- "as the waters cover the sea"--amen?--
- 00:04:28.577 --> 00:04:31.279
- "my glory will be like that," amen?
- 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.482
- "my glory shall be
- 00:04:33.482 --> 00:04:35.117
- Like the waters that cover the sea."
- 00:04:35.117 --> 00:04:36.885
- And every part of the sea is actually water, amen?
- 00:04:36.885 --> 00:04:40.856
- So god's glory is gonna cover the earth.
- 00:04:40.856 --> 00:04:42.758
- As the bible says, "when the enemy comes in
- 00:04:42.758 --> 00:04:44.593
- Like a flood,
- 00:04:44.593 --> 00:04:45.927
- The spirit of the lord will lift up a standard
- 00:04:45.927 --> 00:04:47.796
- Against him."
- 00:04:47.796 --> 00:04:49.131
- In the hebrew, "lift up a standard"
- 00:04:49.131 --> 00:04:50.465
- Is actually to rout the enemy out, amen?
- 00:04:50.465 --> 00:04:52.868
- God will cause him to flee, amen.
- 00:04:52.868 --> 00:04:55.537
- God will cause him to be routed. praise the lord.
- 00:04:55.537 --> 00:04:59.207
- And what is the key? keep on reading.
- 00:04:59.207 --> 00:05:01.243
- Notice the spirit of the lord will do that, amen?
- 00:05:01.243 --> 00:05:03.345
- We rest in him. it's not us doing it.
- 00:05:03.345 --> 00:05:04.980
- "the spirit of the lord will lift up the standard
- 00:05:04.980 --> 00:05:06.548
- Against him.
- 00:05:06.548 --> 00:05:07.883
- 'the redeemer will come to zion,
- 00:05:07.883 --> 00:05:09.518
- And to those who turn from transgression in jacob,'
- 00:05:09.518 --> 00:05:11.953
- Says the lord."
- 00:05:11.953 --> 00:05:13.288
- And verse 21 says jesus has a secret here.
- 00:05:13.288 --> 00:05:16.024
- "'as for me,' says the lord, 'this is my covenant with them:
- 00:05:16.024 --> 00:05:21.430
- My spirit who is upon you,
- 00:05:21.430 --> 00:05:24.332
- And my words which i have put in your mouth,
- 00:05:24.332 --> 00:05:28.170
- Shall not depart from your mouth,
- 00:05:28.170 --> 00:05:31.006
- Nor from the mouth of your descendants,
- 00:05:31.006 --> 00:05:33.708
- Nor from the mouth of your descendants' descendants,'
- 00:05:33.708 --> 00:05:37.145
- Says the lord,
- 00:05:37.145 --> 00:05:38.480
- 'from this time and forevermore.'"
- 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.016
- Notice god says, "this is my covenant."
- 00:05:41.016 --> 00:05:43.051
- This is a covenant god's gonna make with us
- 00:05:43.051 --> 00:05:45.253
- In these days,
- 00:05:45.253 --> 00:05:46.621
- And we know we are the people of these days.
- 00:05:46.621 --> 00:05:48.156
- We are the people of this verse, 21:
- 00:05:48.156 --> 00:05:51.493
- "his spirit is on us
- 00:05:51.493 --> 00:05:52.828
- And his words he has put in our mouth."
- 00:05:52.828 --> 00:05:54.963
- What is that?
- 00:05:54.963 --> 00:05:56.331
- Now, i know that god's words can be the known language,
- 00:05:56.331 --> 00:05:59.234
- Whether it's english-- all right?--
- 00:05:59.234 --> 00:06:00.969
- In many parts of the world,
- 00:06:00.969 --> 00:06:02.304
- But i believe that this is speaking of
- 00:06:02.304 --> 00:06:04.306
- The times that we are living in,
- 00:06:04.306 --> 00:06:06.007
- When god fills us with the holy spirit.
- 00:06:06.007 --> 00:06:07.442
- His spirit is on us, and we speak in that heavenly language.
- 00:06:07.442 --> 00:06:10.846
- We speak in the prayer language of the holy spirit.
- 00:06:10.846 --> 00:06:15.150
- And notice that the bible says it's connected with
- 00:06:15.150 --> 00:06:17.953
- When the enemy comes in like a flood,
- 00:06:17.953 --> 00:06:20.188
- The spirit of the lord will lift up a standard
- 00:06:20.188 --> 00:06:21.790
- Against him.
- 00:06:21.790 --> 00:06:23.124
- And two verses after that, it says,
- 00:06:23.124 --> 00:06:24.459
- "this is my covenant that i'll make with them.
- 00:06:24.459 --> 00:06:26.728
- My spirit will be on them,
- 00:06:26.728 --> 00:06:28.296
- And i'll put my words in their mouths," amen,
- 00:06:28.296 --> 00:06:31.733
- "and my words will not depart from their mouth."
- 00:06:31.733 --> 00:06:33.568
- Now, we want our children
- 00:06:33.568 --> 00:06:35.237
- To be filled with the holy spirit as well.
- 00:06:35.237 --> 00:06:37.005
- We want them to walk in the ways of the lord.
- 00:06:37.005 --> 00:06:39.040
- We want the lord to have an impact in their lives, amen?
- 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.944
- But the key is that--notice the sequential order here:
- 00:06:42.944 --> 00:06:47.916
- His words will not depart from your mouth first.
- 00:06:47.916 --> 00:06:51.219
- As long as you keep those words in your mouth, amen.
- 00:06:51.219 --> 00:06:55.156
- Then it will come to the next descendant--
- 00:06:55.156 --> 00:06:57.726
- All right?--which is your children,
- 00:06:57.726 --> 00:06:59.294
- Nor from the mouth of your descendants
- 00:06:59.294 --> 00:07:01.329
- And upon your grandchildren--
- 00:07:01.329 --> 00:07:03.231
- Amen?--nor from your descendants, your seed's seed.
- 00:07:03.231 --> 00:07:06.768
- Amen, praise the lord, hallelujah.
- 00:07:06.768 --> 00:07:08.803
- So it starts with you.
- 00:07:08.803 --> 00:07:10.138
- Don't let those words--
- 00:07:10.138 --> 00:07:11.473
- Don't stop praying in the spirit.
- 00:07:11.473 --> 00:07:12.807
- The devil wants to freeze you in your mouth.
- 00:07:12.807 --> 00:07:15.043
- He wants to cover the well
- 00:07:15.043 --> 00:07:17.412
- Just like he did in the days of isaac.
- 00:07:17.412 --> 00:07:19.481
- We are like isaac because we are the seed of abraham.
- 00:07:19.481 --> 00:07:22.651
- And the only thing isaac did,
- 00:07:22.651 --> 00:07:24.986
- The notable thing that isaac did was that he uncovered
- 00:07:24.986 --> 00:07:28.023
- All the wells that his father dig.
- 00:07:28.023 --> 00:07:30.025
- But the enemy came.
- 00:07:30.025 --> 00:07:31.626
- The philistines came and covered the wells.
- 00:07:31.626 --> 00:07:34.329
- In fact, one of the first things that the philistines did
- 00:07:34.329 --> 00:07:37.566
- That was bad--all right?-- there's a lot of things
- 00:07:37.566 --> 00:07:39.334
- That they did in the old testament.
- 00:07:39.334 --> 00:07:40.902
- They are the number one enemy of israel, amen?
- 00:07:40.902 --> 00:07:43.305
- In the old testament, there were others--like hittites, hevites,
- 00:07:43.305 --> 00:07:45.907
- Amorites, and all that--but they are the number one, one.
- 00:07:45.907 --> 00:07:48.243
- And but the first thing they did in the old testament was
- 00:07:48.243 --> 00:07:50.545
- That they covered all the wells that abraham dig, amen?
- 00:07:50.545 --> 00:07:55.050
- So we are uncovering the wells right now.
- 00:07:55.050 --> 00:07:57.052
- We are uncovering the wells.
- 00:07:57.052 --> 00:07:58.386
- God is, right now, all over the world,
- 00:07:58.386 --> 00:07:59.921
- Uncovering the well, the well of grace, amen,
- 00:07:59.921 --> 00:08:02.724
- The true gospel of grace.
- 00:08:02.724 --> 00:08:04.693
- He's uncovering the well, even of healing, amen,
- 00:08:04.693 --> 00:08:07.629
- Which is the blood-bought right, amen, of a child of god.
- 00:08:07.629 --> 00:08:10.865
- It's bought by the blood of jesus.
- 00:08:10.865 --> 00:08:12.233
- By his stripes, we are healed.
- 00:08:12.233 --> 00:08:14.002
- He's uncovering even in this
- 00:08:14.002 --> 00:08:16.538
- And the well of prosperity of people,
- 00:08:16.538 --> 00:08:19.407
- And don't be afraid of that word.
- 00:08:19.407 --> 00:08:21.009
- We're not talking about prosperity out of greed
- 00:08:21.009 --> 00:08:22.877
- Or self-aggrandizement.
- 00:08:22.877 --> 00:08:24.846
- We're talking about being blessed to be a blessing.
- 00:08:24.846 --> 00:08:26.982
- He's uncovering that.
- 00:08:26.982 --> 00:08:28.316
- Notice that the devil has covered all this up, amen?
- 00:08:28.316 --> 00:08:30.752
- And people who preach against that,
- 00:08:30.752 --> 00:08:32.787
- They themselves have two or three houses.
- 00:08:32.787 --> 00:08:34.222
- They have two or three cars, amen.
- 00:08:34.222 --> 00:08:36.291
- And they, just, you know, they can prosper,
- 00:08:36.291 --> 00:08:38.526
- But others cannot.
- 00:08:38.526 --> 00:08:39.861
- No, friend, it's time for the church to prosper, amen.
- 00:08:39.861 --> 00:08:41.696
- I'm not saying be selfish.
- 00:08:41.696 --> 00:08:43.031
- I'm not saying be greedy, not just "me, me, me,"
- 00:08:43.031 --> 00:08:45.367
- Not just, like, all your sermons
- 00:08:45.367 --> 00:08:46.701
- Are just talking about giving, giving, giving--amen?--
- 00:08:46.701 --> 00:08:48.436
- About giving to you, no, no, no, no,
- 00:08:48.436 --> 00:08:50.372
- But there's a new kind of teaching.
- 00:08:50.372 --> 00:08:51.940
- There's a true
- 00:08:51.940 --> 00:08:53.274
- And there is a pseudo-teaching, amen?
- 00:08:53.274 --> 00:08:55.276
- And the true is being uncovered. praise the lord.
- 00:08:55.276 --> 00:08:58.079
- "you know the grace of our lord jesus christ,
- 00:08:58.079 --> 00:09:00.415
- That though he was rich,
- 00:09:00.415 --> 00:09:01.750
- Yet for your sakes he became poor,
- 00:09:01.750 --> 00:09:03.318
- That you through his poverty might become rich."
- 00:09:03.318 --> 00:09:05.320
- Amen, praise the lord, amen?
- 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.355
- The context there is physical, amen?
- 00:09:07.355 --> 00:09:09.491
- It's nothing to do with spiritual riches there.
- 00:09:09.491 --> 00:09:11.292
- He's talking about he was made physically poor, amen?
- 00:09:11.292 --> 00:09:15.296
- Where? at the cross.
- 00:09:15.296 --> 00:09:16.631
- That you, through his poverty, might be rich.
- 00:09:16.631 --> 00:09:18.533
- And the whole context there talks about giving,
- 00:09:18.533 --> 00:09:20.568
- Finances, amen?
- 00:09:20.568 --> 00:09:21.936
- Amen, praise the lord.
- 00:09:21.936 --> 00:09:23.271
- So god is uncovering all this,
- 00:09:23.271 --> 00:09:24.906
- Uncovering the well of the gifts of the spirit, amen.
- 00:09:24.906 --> 00:09:28.677
- That's being restored where the church has,
- 00:09:28.677 --> 00:09:30.712
- In the past, uncovered it,
- 00:09:30.712 --> 00:09:32.681
- And through false teachings and all that,
- 00:09:32.681 --> 00:09:35.383
- Saying that all the gifts of the spirit,
- 00:09:35.383 --> 00:09:37.419
- All has gone off from the scene, amen.
- 00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:40.055
- We don't need them anymore as if we live in better times,
- 00:09:40.055 --> 00:09:43.158
- As if we are not in more earnest need
- 00:09:43.158 --> 00:09:46.695
- For the gifts of the holy spirit in our day and age.
- 00:09:46.695 --> 00:09:49.030
- My friend, we need it more than ever, amen.
- 00:09:49.030 --> 00:09:51.633
- And the bible says, "follow after love
- 00:09:51.633 --> 00:09:54.469
- And pursue love.
- 00:09:54.469 --> 00:09:55.837
- Follow after love; and desire spiritual gifts,
- 00:09:55.837 --> 00:09:59.307
- But rather that you may prophesy."
- 00:09:59.307 --> 00:10:02.043
- Amen, friend, if you wanna see the gifts of the spirit operate,
- 00:10:02.043 --> 00:10:04.879
- Follow after love.
- 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:06.514
- I remember, many years ago, i was on my way back late at night
- 00:10:06.514 --> 00:10:11.019
- From a meeting and--from a leaders meeting.
- 00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:14.389
- I remember that i was in a hurry.
- 00:10:14.389 --> 00:10:16.291
- I was driving down the highway and making it as far as i can
- 00:10:16.291 --> 00:10:20.228
- If i can reach home-- because i was about to watch,
- 00:10:20.228 --> 00:10:24.766
- And i think it was about 1 a.m. at that time,
- 00:10:24.766 --> 00:10:27.769
- A championship that was about to take place.
- 00:10:27.769 --> 00:10:30.605
- I think it was a european championship,
- 00:10:30.605 --> 00:10:31.940
- And i was very excited to see my favorite team, amen?
- 00:10:31.940 --> 00:10:36.044
- So i was in a hurry to go back,
- 00:10:36.044 --> 00:10:37.712
- And i was driving down the highway,
- 00:10:37.712 --> 00:10:39.647
- And i was passing by an elderly man
- 00:10:39.647 --> 00:10:42.617
- Who was trying to go
- 00:10:42.617 --> 00:10:44.586
- Over the central divider of the highway.
- 00:10:44.586 --> 00:10:47.756
- So i passed by. i thought nothing about it.
- 00:10:47.756 --> 00:10:49.424
- I just drove. i passed by him.
- 00:10:49.424 --> 00:10:51.960
- But all of a sudden, the compassion of love,
- 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:53.695
- The love of the lord, the compassion of jesus,
- 00:10:53.695 --> 00:10:56.564
- Just rose up in me.
- 00:10:56.564 --> 00:10:57.999
- And i know enough to know "follow after love."
- 00:10:57.999 --> 00:11:00.602
- I wasn't in a place where i wanted to move
- 00:11:00.602 --> 00:11:03.138
- In the gifts of the spirit or the word of knowledge
- 00:11:03.138 --> 00:11:05.440
- Or the word of wisdom, but i just followed the love,
- 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.042
- And i knew enough to know
- 00:11:08.042 --> 00:11:09.377
- That, if that love-- that flow of love comes on me,
- 00:11:09.377 --> 00:11:13.081
- I need to follow that.
- 00:11:13.081 --> 00:11:14.415
- So you know what i did?
- 00:11:14.415 --> 00:11:15.750
- I stopped at the side of the road,
- 00:11:15.750 --> 00:11:17.952
- At the shoulder of the road,
- 00:11:17.952 --> 00:11:19.487
- And as--because there were not many cars at that time,
- 00:11:19.487 --> 00:11:21.656
- At that hour of the night, i slowly reversed,
- 00:11:21.656 --> 00:11:24.559
- Being very careful,
- 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:25.960
- Reversed all the way to where the elderly man
- 00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:27.629
- Was trying to cross over the central divider,
- 00:11:27.629 --> 00:11:30.498
- And he was not taking the overhead bridge
- 00:11:30.498 --> 00:11:34.135
- Across the highway.
- 00:11:34.135 --> 00:11:35.470
- He was taking the central divider,
- 00:11:35.470 --> 00:11:36.805
- Trying to cross over, so i came over to the side,
- 00:11:36.805 --> 00:11:38.840
- And i got out of the car and called out to him,
- 00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:42.143
- And i went over to get him.
- 00:11:42.143 --> 00:11:43.912
- It was pretty unsafe for him because he might not see
- 00:11:43.912 --> 00:11:46.181
- A speeding-- at that time of the night,
- 00:11:46.181 --> 00:11:47.515
- There might be a speeding car.
- 00:11:47.515 --> 00:11:48.850
- So i brought him over, back to my car,
- 00:11:48.850 --> 00:11:51.586
- And i asked this elderly man, and i asked him, "what's wrong?"
- 00:11:51.586 --> 00:11:54.722
- Can i help him?
- 00:11:54.722 --> 00:11:56.057
- And he said that, "oh, i'm very hungry,
- 00:11:56.057 --> 00:11:58.026
- And i've not eaten,
- 00:11:58.026 --> 00:11:59.761
- And i'm looking for a place to eat."
- 00:11:59.761 --> 00:12:01.930
- So i said, "what do i do now?"
- 00:12:01.930 --> 00:12:03.965
- And i found a person who is hungry,
- 00:12:03.965 --> 00:12:06.201
- And i do not know where-- i said, "where are you from?"
- 00:12:06.201 --> 00:12:07.802
- And he told me, you know, where he was from,
- 00:12:07.802 --> 00:12:10.138
- A nearby neighborhood.
- 00:12:10.138 --> 00:12:11.706
- And he says that--i said that, "shall i bring you back home?"
- 00:12:11.706 --> 00:12:14.342
- "oh, there's nothing at home.
- 00:12:14.342 --> 00:12:15.910
- I have no one, you know, except for my son,
- 00:12:15.910 --> 00:12:20.682
- And my son is not at home, and i'm hungry."
- 00:12:20.682 --> 00:12:24.018
- I was thinking to myself "what do i do now?" you know?
- 00:12:24.018 --> 00:12:26.120
- So i said, "why don't i bring you to a place to eat?"
- 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:27.922
- "no, no, you see, i'm looking for this place,
- 00:12:27.922 --> 00:12:29.257
- This market.
- 00:12:29.257 --> 00:12:30.658
- My friend is there. he will take care of me.
- 00:12:30.658 --> 00:12:31.993
- He always gives me food."
- 00:12:31.993 --> 00:12:33.328
- But how will i know which market is it, you know?
- 00:12:33.328 --> 00:12:35.730
- So i told him, "you know what? get into my car first."
- 00:12:35.730 --> 00:12:37.999
- So i brought him into my car, and i started driving, you know,
- 00:12:37.999 --> 00:12:41.569
- Without direction.
- 00:12:41.569 --> 00:12:42.904
- I do not know where to go, and i said that,
- 00:12:42.904 --> 00:12:44.372
- "can i bring you to a place to eat?"
- 00:12:44.372 --> 00:12:45.773
- And he says, "no, no, i have to go to that place.
- 00:12:45.773 --> 00:12:47.508
- They always take care of me, and they have food for me."
- 00:12:47.508 --> 00:12:50.712
- So, in my spirit, i prayed.
- 00:12:50.712 --> 00:12:52.413
- I followed after love, and the bible says,
- 00:12:52.413 --> 00:12:54.215
- "follow after love
- 00:12:54.215 --> 00:12:55.583
- And desire spiritual gifts," right?
- 00:12:55.583 --> 00:12:57.819
- So i said, "lord, you know, i do not know what to do
- 00:12:57.819 --> 00:13:00.521
- With this elderly man.
- 00:13:00.521 --> 00:13:01.856
- Lord, what do i do now?"
- 00:13:01.856 --> 00:13:03.491
- And from my spirit pop up this picture, amen?
- 00:13:03.491 --> 00:13:06.961
- I saw that abc market, and i saw it clearly, clear as crystal.
- 00:13:06.961 --> 00:13:11.566
- I said, "is it the abc market?"
- 00:13:11.566 --> 00:13:13.368
- And he was like, you know, he's not very coherent.
- 00:13:13.368 --> 00:13:16.170
- So he said, "no, my friend is there.
- 00:13:16.170 --> 00:13:18.339
- This market, he--they always give me food to eat."
- 00:13:18.339 --> 00:13:21.242
- So i said, "i'm gonna drive there
- 00:13:21.242 --> 00:13:22.577
- And see what happens," okay?
- 00:13:22.577 --> 00:13:23.912
- So i drove all the way there.
- 00:13:23.912 --> 00:13:25.246
- It was quite a distance from the highway
- 00:13:25.246 --> 00:13:27.148
- To where it was.
- 00:13:27.148 --> 00:13:28.483
- By the time i reached there-- all right?--
- 00:13:28.483 --> 00:13:30.351
- I started feeling stronger in my spirit
- 00:13:30.351 --> 00:13:32.687
- That this was the place, and i took him out,
- 00:13:32.687 --> 00:13:35.890
- I started walking, and the very first--
- 00:13:35.890 --> 00:13:38.726
- We call it the teh tarik stall,
- 00:13:38.726 --> 00:13:40.094
- Which is the place where they sell coffee,
- 00:13:40.094 --> 00:13:42.230
- All right?
- 00:13:42.230 --> 00:13:43.564
- And it was still open that night,
- 00:13:43.564 --> 00:13:44.966
- And when that man who sold the coffee
- 00:13:44.966 --> 00:13:46.768
- Saw this elderly man, he shouted his name out.
- 00:13:46.768 --> 00:13:50.571
- I knew i was in the right place.
- 00:13:50.571 --> 00:13:53.374
- And then that coffee man was telling me about
- 00:13:53.374 --> 00:13:57.578
- How this elderly man-- it's a very pitiful story--
- 00:13:57.578 --> 00:14:02.583
- How his--you know, his son neglects him,
- 00:14:02.583 --> 00:14:05.954
- And many a times he's hungry.
- 00:14:05.954 --> 00:14:07.722
- And some time back, his son brought him to this place,
- 00:14:07.722 --> 00:14:11.092
- And he told this elderly man that, whenever he needs to eat
- 00:14:11.092 --> 00:14:14.062
- Or whatever, "just come over to my stall."
- 00:14:14.062 --> 00:14:16.230
- He said, "it's a very sad story."
- 00:14:16.230 --> 00:14:17.665
- So i felt like, you know, that the lord loved this man, amen?
- 00:14:17.665 --> 00:14:23.304
- Now, had i not followed after love,
- 00:14:23.304 --> 00:14:25.406
- There would be no manifestation of the gifts.
- 00:14:25.406 --> 00:14:27.575
- So, many a times, we want a manifestation of the gifts,
- 00:14:27.575 --> 00:14:30.111
- But we're not following after love, amen?
- 00:14:30.111 --> 00:14:31.879
- Do the first step, amen?
- 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:33.848
- Do the first step, take the first step,
- 00:14:33.848 --> 00:14:35.450
- And then the gifts will flow.
- 00:14:35.450 --> 00:14:37.218
- Praise the lord.
- 00:14:37.218 --> 00:14:38.553
- And, you know, when i walked away,
- 00:14:38.553 --> 00:14:39.887
- I realized that the gifts of the spirit
- 00:14:39.887 --> 00:14:41.222
- Is not just for the people of the church.
- 00:14:41.222 --> 00:14:42.857
- It is not just for people's salvation
- 00:14:42.857 --> 00:14:44.692
- Or for someone's healing or-- god just loves people, amen?
- 00:14:44.692 --> 00:14:48.363
- And the gift can manifest anytime, amen?
- 00:14:48.363 --> 00:14:50.865
- If you're a teacher, it can manifest in a--
- 00:14:50.865 --> 00:14:53.935
- When you take care of your students and all that.
- 00:14:53.935 --> 00:14:56.871
- You know, whatever level,
- 00:14:56.871 --> 00:14:58.206
- You can tell when a child is in trouble,
- 00:14:58.206 --> 00:14:59.540
- And the lord will tell you.
- 00:14:59.540 --> 00:15:00.875
- If you're a surgeon and you're about to operate,
- 00:15:00.875 --> 00:15:02.977
- The holy spirit can tell you what really is the problem.
- 00:15:02.977 --> 00:15:05.013
- We have a number of cases where testimonies
- 00:15:05.013 --> 00:15:07.849
- Of the testimonies of believers--amen?--
- 00:15:07.849 --> 00:15:10.151
- Who are surgeons, and they are doing an operation,
- 00:15:10.151 --> 00:15:13.554
- And then the lord tells them, "no, that's not the thing"--
- 00:15:13.554 --> 00:15:15.656
- All right?--while they are doing that, and later on,
- 00:15:15.656 --> 00:15:17.358
- Only to find out that, had they done that operation,
- 00:15:17.358 --> 00:15:19.427
- It would cause more complications.
- 00:15:19.427 --> 00:15:21.829
- So the holy spirit can speak to you.
- 00:15:21.829 --> 00:15:23.498
- You're a student, the holy spirit can tell you,
- 00:15:23.498 --> 00:15:25.133
- Show you things to come--
- 00:15:25.133 --> 00:15:26.467
- Where to study, where to focus on, amen?
- 00:15:26.467 --> 00:15:28.903
- Praise the lord.
- 00:15:28.903 --> 00:15:30.238
- So the gifts of the spirit, the bible says,
- 00:15:30.238 --> 00:15:31.973
- Is for every man to profit withal, hallelujah.
- 00:15:31.973 --> 00:15:35.476
- And you notice that people who don't pray in the spirit,
- 00:15:35.476 --> 00:15:37.412
- They don't pray in tongues,
- 00:15:37.412 --> 00:15:38.746
- They don't see the manifestation of the gifts of the spirit.
- 00:15:38.746 --> 00:15:41.182
- So i want to encourage you, child of god:
- 00:15:41.182 --> 00:15:42.984
- Keep on praying in the spirit.
- 00:15:42.984 --> 00:15:44.886
- Amen, and we have been touching on law and grace,
- 00:15:44.886 --> 00:15:47.889
- And this is a special prayer
- 00:15:47.889 --> 00:15:49.791
- That is only unique for this new covenant of grace.
- 00:15:49.791 --> 00:15:52.894
- During this new covenant of grace,
- 00:15:52.894 --> 00:15:54.962
- We see this gift manifesting, amen?
- 00:15:54.962 --> 00:15:57.632
- In fact, it's the prayer language
- 00:15:57.632 --> 00:15:58.966
- That never existed in the old testament.
- 00:15:58.966 --> 00:16:00.768
- They did pray in the old testament,
- 00:16:00.768 --> 00:16:02.170
- But they prayed with their understanding,
- 00:16:02.170 --> 00:16:03.938
- Which is limited,
- 00:16:03.938 --> 00:16:05.406
- Whereas on the day of pentecost--
- 00:16:05.406 --> 00:16:07.108
- When the day of pentecost was fully come,
- 00:16:07.108 --> 00:16:08.943
- God sent the holy spirit,
- 00:16:08.943 --> 00:16:10.545
- And they began to speak with other tongues
- 00:16:10.545 --> 00:16:12.346
- As the spirit gave them utterance, amen?
- 00:16:12.346 --> 00:16:15.683
- We saw last week that elevated discourse.
- 00:16:15.683 --> 00:16:17.785
- It is not a lowly word.
- 00:16:17.785 --> 00:16:19.120
- It is not some gibberish that someone is speaking in.
- 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.989
- It is an elevated and dignified discourse, amen?
- 00:16:21.989 --> 00:16:26.561
- That's the word "utterance" there.
- 00:16:26.561 --> 00:16:27.995
- So it's a unique prayer, prayer 2.0,
- 00:16:27.995 --> 00:16:32.967
- That is just especially for these new covenant people--
- 00:16:32.967 --> 00:16:37.271
- Amen?--who have the holy spirit in them--
- 00:16:37.271 --> 00:16:40.341
- Not just on them--in them.
- 00:16:40.341 --> 00:16:42.210
- In the old testament, they had the holy spirit on them.
- 00:16:42.210 --> 00:16:45.113
- It will come on them for a specific task and purpose,
- 00:16:45.113 --> 00:16:48.082
- And then it will leave them, amen?
- 00:16:48.082 --> 00:16:49.650
- It will come on samson, amen?
- 00:16:49.650 --> 00:16:51.652
- And samson will take the jawbone of a donkey
- 00:16:51.652 --> 00:16:53.688
- And, just, fight against one thousand men
- 00:16:53.688 --> 00:16:55.957
- And kill them.
- 00:16:55.957 --> 00:16:57.291
- Then he will lift, amen? it will come on david, amen?
- 00:16:57.291 --> 00:17:01.295
- He will prophesy, and then he will lift.
- 00:17:01.295 --> 00:17:03.498
- It will come on a certain servant of god,
- 00:17:03.498 --> 00:17:05.433
- A prophet of god,
- 00:17:05.433 --> 00:17:06.767
- And he will prophesy, and then he will lift.
- 00:17:06.767 --> 00:17:08.402
- But jesus says, "the holy spirit,
- 00:17:08.402 --> 00:17:09.904
- Who is with you in the upper room--"
- 00:17:09.904 --> 00:17:11.839
- Jesus said that "he will be in you, amen?"
- 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.810
- And he will be with you forever, hallelujah.
- 00:17:15.810 --> 00:17:17.778
- So we are the new covenant people.
- 00:17:17.778 --> 00:17:20.047
- We have the holy spirit in us.
- 00:17:20.047 --> 00:17:21.482
- So the more you pray in the spirit,
- 00:17:21.482 --> 00:17:22.984
- The more you are led by the spirit.
- 00:17:22.984 --> 00:17:24.785
- And only when you are led by the spirit--
- 00:17:24.785 --> 00:17:26.854
- Galatians 5 very clearly tells us,
- 00:17:26.854 --> 00:17:29.123
- "if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law."
- 00:17:29.123 --> 00:17:34.128
- "if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law."
- 00:17:34.195 --> 00:17:37.265
- Now, we don't wanna be under the law,
- 00:17:37.265 --> 00:17:38.833
- Because if you are under the law,
- 00:17:38.833 --> 00:17:40.168
- Sin will have dominion over you, amen?
- 00:17:40.168 --> 00:17:42.537
- So it's very clear that, when we are not under the law,
- 00:17:42.537 --> 00:17:45.106
- We are under grace, sin will have no power over us.
- 00:17:45.106 --> 00:17:47.742
- Not only that, if you are under the law,
- 00:17:47.742 --> 00:17:49.610
- Then you are under the curse.
- 00:17:49.610 --> 00:17:51.546
- The bible says, "for as many as are of the works of the law
- 00:17:51.546 --> 00:17:54.615
- Are under the curse," right?
- 00:17:54.615 --> 00:17:56.083
- So we don't want to be under the law.
- 00:17:56.083 --> 00:17:57.552
- We wanna be under grace.
- 00:17:57.552 --> 00:17:59.253
- How do you do it? practically, amen?
- 00:17:59.253 --> 00:18:01.255
- We don't just say, "we are free from the law"--all right?--
- 00:18:01.255 --> 00:18:03.858
- And go into another kind of bondage--amen?--
- 00:18:03.858 --> 00:18:07.161
- To the fleshly, lust of the flesh,
- 00:18:07.161 --> 00:18:09.263
- Or--that's another bondage.
- 00:18:09.263 --> 00:18:11.165
- We're not freed from one bondage to another bondage.
- 00:18:11.165 --> 00:18:13.401
- Friends, we are freed from the law
- 00:18:13.401 --> 00:18:15.770
- To follow the spirit, amen.
- 00:18:15.770 --> 00:18:18.339
- It will help you to know this.
- 00:18:18.339 --> 00:18:20.041
- The old testament is actually
- 00:18:20.041 --> 00:18:22.577
- People that follow the written letter--
- 00:18:22.577 --> 00:18:25.546
- All right?--what is written.
- 00:18:25.546 --> 00:18:26.881
- But people of the new covenant are people, people of grace--
- 00:18:26.881 --> 00:18:30.251
- Amen?--are people that follow the spirit.
- 00:18:30.251 --> 00:18:33.221
- They follow the spirit.
- 00:18:33.221 --> 00:18:34.622
- And you will more than fulfill the written law.
- 00:18:34.622 --> 00:18:37.158
- In fact, the bible says like this--we saw last week--
- 00:18:37.158 --> 00:18:39.360
- When you follow the spirit, the righteousness of the law
- 00:18:39.360 --> 00:18:42.230
- Will be fulfilled in you,
- 00:18:42.230 --> 00:18:43.631
- Not by you but in you as you follow the spirit.
- 00:18:43.631 --> 00:18:46.734
- Amen, praise the lord.
- 00:18:46.734 --> 00:18:48.069
- We also saw that it is the number seventh weapon
- 00:18:48.069 --> 00:18:52.373
- Of the holy spirit.
- 00:18:52.373 --> 00:18:53.708
- In fact, the rest are all defensive in nature--
- 00:18:53.708 --> 00:18:55.343
- The panoply, the armor of god for the believer.
- 00:18:55.343 --> 00:18:58.379
- You have the helmet of salvation,
- 00:18:58.379 --> 00:18:59.847
- Which is the hope of salvation.
- 00:18:59.847 --> 00:19:01.282
- Having a positive expectation of good in your future--amen?--
- 00:19:01.282 --> 00:19:05.519
- Is to actually clad yourself with the armor--amen?--
- 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:09.156
- The helmet of salvation, which is defensive, right?
- 00:19:09.156 --> 00:19:11.125
- So you have the breastplate of righteousness,
- 00:19:11.125 --> 00:19:13.628
- Which protects your heart... from the accusations
- 00:19:13.628 --> 00:19:16.397
- And the condemnation of the enemy, all right?
- 00:19:16.397 --> 00:19:18.899
- It protects your heart from all the fiery darts.
- 00:19:18.899 --> 00:19:21.535
- And then you have the loins gird with truth--amen?--
- 00:19:21.535 --> 00:19:24.272
- To stabilize all your weapons, amen?
- 00:19:24.272 --> 00:19:26.607
- You put your sword in a scabbard.
- 00:19:26.607 --> 00:19:28.242
- It is taken care of by--upheld by your belt.
- 00:19:28.242 --> 00:19:31.379
- You have the gospel of peace shoes, right?
- 00:19:31.379 --> 00:19:34.548
- You have the gospel of peace shoes so that, wherever you go,
- 00:19:34.548 --> 00:19:36.917
- You possess the land, amen.
- 00:19:36.917 --> 00:19:38.653
- Wherever you go, good news is coming.
- 00:19:38.653 --> 00:19:40.254
- Praise the lord.
- 00:19:40.254 --> 00:19:41.589
- You are a blessing everywhere you go.
- 00:19:41.589 --> 00:19:43.157
- Then you have the shield of faith,
- 00:19:43.157 --> 00:19:45.026
- And the shield of faith, again, is defensive in nature,
- 00:19:45.026 --> 00:19:47.595
- By which you'll quench-- how much?
- 00:19:47.595 --> 00:19:50.564
- All the fiery darts of the wicked one.
- 00:19:50.564 --> 00:19:53.134
- The only weapon that is offensive
- 00:19:53.134 --> 00:19:57.738
- Is the seventh one,
- 00:19:57.738 --> 00:19:59.674
- And you know that god never stops at six, right?
- 00:19:59.674 --> 00:20:01.342
- It's the seventh one, okay? which is what?
- 00:20:01.342 --> 00:20:04.245
- Praying in the spirit, amen, praying in the spirit.
- 00:20:04.245 --> 00:20:09.617
- It's wielding the sword of the spirit.
- 00:20:09.617 --> 00:20:11.886
- And young says it like this:
- 00:20:11.886 --> 00:20:13.888
- "and the helmet of salvation receive,
- 00:20:13.888 --> 00:20:16.223
- And the sword of the spirit, which is the saying of god--"
- 00:20:16.223 --> 00:20:20.194
- How do you wield the sword of the spirit?
- 00:20:20.194 --> 00:20:22.830
- How do you receive it? which is the rhema of god.
- 00:20:22.830 --> 00:20:25.132
- The saying of god is rhema of god.
- 00:20:25.132 --> 00:20:27.601
- How do you do it? "through."
- 00:20:27.601 --> 00:20:30.104
- And that's how it starts in the greek, "dia."
- 00:20:30.104 --> 00:20:32.239
- Dia means through.
- 00:20:32.239 --> 00:20:33.574
- "all prayer and supplication
- 00:20:33.574 --> 00:20:36.043
- Praying at all times in the spirit,
- 00:20:36.043 --> 00:20:38.813
- And in regard to this same,
- 00:20:38.813 --> 00:20:40.147
- Watching in all perseverance and supplication
- 00:20:40.147 --> 00:20:42.116
- For all the saints."
- 00:20:42.116 --> 00:20:43.451
- It's a spirit of grace and supplication
- 00:20:43.451 --> 00:20:45.319
- That god promised in zechariah, i believe it is,
- 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:49.023
- Where it says that "i'll pour upon the house of david,
- 00:20:49.023 --> 00:20:52.293
- The spirit of grace and supplication;
- 00:20:52.293 --> 00:20:54.795
- And they will look upon me whom they have pierced."
- 00:20:54.795 --> 00:20:58.466
- And that prophecy is a prophecy
- 00:20:58.466 --> 00:21:00.301
- For the new covenant people, amen.
- 00:21:00.301 --> 00:21:02.737
- It's a spirit of grace and supplication,
- 00:21:02.737 --> 00:21:04.171
- Which, i believe, is praying in the spirit
- 00:21:04.171 --> 00:21:06.974
- As demonstrated here.
- 00:21:06.974 --> 00:21:08.342
- So how do you receive the rhema of god?
- 00:21:08.342 --> 00:21:10.444
- "through all prayer and supplication
- 00:21:10.444 --> 00:21:13.714
- Praying at all times in the spirit."
- 00:21:13.714 --> 00:21:16.183
- Now, we have settled that praying in the spirit
- 00:21:16.183 --> 00:21:18.085
- Is not praying with more impetus.
- 00:21:18.085 --> 00:21:20.287
- It's not praying with more enthusiasm.
- 00:21:20.287 --> 00:21:22.423
- It is not praying being led by the spirit in your english.
- 00:21:22.423 --> 00:21:26.460
- No, the bible says it very clearly:
- 00:21:26.460 --> 00:21:28.162
- If i pray in an unknown tongue,
- 00:21:28.162 --> 00:21:30.998
- If i pray in an unknown language--
- 00:21:30.998 --> 00:21:33.601
- Amen?--my spirit prays.
- 00:21:33.601 --> 00:21:36.003
- Later on, he says, "what is it then?
- 00:21:36.003 --> 00:21:37.872
- I will pray with my spirit,
- 00:21:37.872 --> 00:21:39.373
- And i'll pray with my understanding."
- 00:21:39.373 --> 00:21:41.142
- There you see the contrast, amen.
- 00:21:41.142 --> 00:21:43.811
- Praying with the spirit is praying in tongues.
- 00:21:43.811 --> 00:21:45.546
- Praying with understanding-- and most of us,
- 00:21:45.546 --> 00:21:47.415
- It's english or any language that we speak,
- 00:21:47.415 --> 00:21:49.850
- Our mother tongue, right?
- 00:21:49.850 --> 00:21:51.285
- "and i'll sing with the spirit,
- 00:21:51.285 --> 00:21:52.620
- And i'll sing with the understanding."
- 00:21:52.620 --> 00:21:53.954
- So it's very clear.
- 00:21:53.954 --> 00:21:55.289
- When the bible talks about praying in the spirit,
- 00:21:55.289 --> 00:21:56.624
- It's always praying in tongues, amen?
- 00:21:56.624 --> 00:21:58.392
- And, friend, god has given us this wonderful weapon.
- 00:21:58.392 --> 00:22:01.028
- If you go back to isaiah 59, it's very clear.
- 00:22:01.028 --> 00:22:03.063
- It says in isaiah 59,
- 00:22:03.063 --> 00:22:04.865
- Right after "my spirit upon you,"
- 00:22:04.865 --> 00:22:06.367
- "my words which i have put in your mouth,
- 00:22:06.367 --> 00:22:07.768
- Shall not depart from your mouth."
- 00:22:07.768 --> 00:22:09.470
- The very next chapter says, "arise, shine."
- 00:22:09.470 --> 00:22:12.573
- Now, you know that in the original hebrew,
- 00:22:12.573 --> 00:22:15.309
- When the bible is written, there are no chapters, right?
- 00:22:15.309 --> 00:22:17.878
- So it actually continues like this:
- 00:22:17.878 --> 00:22:20.014
- "if my words will not depart from your mouth,
- 00:22:20.014 --> 00:22:24.718
- This is gonna happen to you.
- 00:22:24.718 --> 00:22:26.053
- Arise and shine; for your light has come!
- 00:22:26.053 --> 00:22:29.356
- And the glory of the lord is risen upon you.
- 00:22:29.356 --> 00:22:32.493
- For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
- 00:22:32.493 --> 00:22:35.463
- And deep darkness the people;
- 00:22:35.463 --> 00:22:37.698
- But the lord will arise over you,
- 00:22:37.698 --> 00:22:39.733
- And his glory will be seen upon you.
- 00:22:39.733 --> 00:22:42.203
- The gentiles shall come to your light,
- 00:22:42.203 --> 00:22:44.605
- And kings to the brightness of your rising."
- 00:22:44.605 --> 00:22:47.508
- So notice that the bible is very clear.
- 00:22:47.508 --> 00:22:49.577
- It is not talking about the millennium.
- 00:22:49.577 --> 00:22:52.046
- During the millennium, darkness does not cover the earth, amen?
- 00:22:52.046 --> 00:22:55.382
- The lord jesus will be here, amen.
- 00:22:55.382 --> 00:22:57.551
- There will be world peace, amen, harmony, hallelujah, prosperity,
- 00:22:57.551 --> 00:23:03.824
- Amen, health, amen.
- 00:23:03.824 --> 00:23:05.726
- So it's definitely referring to the times that we live in,
- 00:23:05.726 --> 00:23:08.596
- The end-times, amen?
- 00:23:08.596 --> 00:23:10.431
- The bible says the way you rise and shine
- 00:23:10.431 --> 00:23:13.033
- Is to make sure that god's spirit is on you
- 00:23:13.033 --> 00:23:15.736
- And that his words that he put in your mouth
- 00:23:15.736 --> 00:23:17.938
- Will not depart from your mouth
- 00:23:17.938 --> 00:23:19.907
- Nor from the mouth of your seed
- 00:23:19.907 --> 00:23:21.942
- Nor from your seed's seed, hallelujah.
- 00:23:21.942 --> 00:23:24.845
