Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Rise Up and Walk Out Your Identity in Christ | February 17, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.310
Joseph prince: when the bible says god wants to conform
00:00:13.188 --> 00:00:14.823
All of us to the image of jesus, that's what god wants
00:00:14.923 --> 00:00:18.861
For you and i to become, amen?
00:00:18.994 --> 00:00:19.495
But the responsibilities of grace,
00:00:20.963 --> 00:00:22.865
And there is responsibilities in grace
00:00:22.865 --> 00:00:25.033
In the new testament, it's full of it.
00:00:25.033 --> 00:00:26.502
But notice the responsibilities of grace is not,
00:00:26.502 --> 00:00:29.805
Let us become what we are not.
00:00:29.805 --> 00:00:34.977
No, responsibility of grace is like this.
00:00:34.977 --> 00:00:37.246
Let us become what we already are.
00:00:37.246 --> 00:00:40.149
The bible says you are complete in christ.
00:00:40.149 --> 00:00:42.951
Complete in christ, right?
00:00:42.951 --> 00:00:45.387
Now, walk out your completeness as you have received christ,
00:00:45.387 --> 00:00:49.758
And how do you receive christ?
00:00:49.758 --> 00:00:51.360
By grace through faith.
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:53.295
So walk you in him.
00:00:53.295 --> 00:00:54.663
How do you walk your christian life every day down here?
00:00:54.663 --> 00:00:57.766
By grace through faith.
00:00:57.766 --> 00:00:59.201
You don't leave the realm of grace.
00:00:59.201 --> 00:01:01.436
Joseph prince: grace says, let us become
00:01:01.436 --> 00:01:03.872
What we already are.
00:01:03.872 --> 00:01:05.407
And child of god, in god's eyes, you are righteous.
00:01:05.407 --> 00:01:08.544
In god's eyes, you are complete, amen?
00:01:08.544 --> 00:01:11.747
Now that you're complete in christ,
00:01:11.747 --> 00:01:13.515
Walk out that completeness.
00:01:13.515 --> 00:01:15.584
Now that you are righteous in christ,
00:01:15.584 --> 00:01:17.452
Walk it out in the way
00:01:17.452 --> 00:01:18.854
You deal with your fellow colleagues,
00:01:18.854 --> 00:01:22.591
In the way you relate to your wife, your family.
00:01:22.591 --> 00:01:25.427
Walk it out, amen.
00:01:25.427 --> 00:01:27.262
Walk it out like the prince that you are, amen, hallelujah.
00:01:27.262 --> 00:01:31.767
Thank you, jesus.
00:01:31.767 --> 00:01:33.101
With every passing day, my friend, hallelujah.
00:01:33.101 --> 00:01:35.437
Come on, with every passing day, one more enemy is put
00:01:35.437 --> 00:01:40.709
Under his feet.
00:01:40.709 --> 00:01:42.244
The world for us is going to get better and better, amen?
00:01:42.244 --> 00:01:46.281
Male announcer: have you ever asked yourself, "who am i?"
00:01:46.348 --> 00:01:49.017
What about, "whose am i?"
00:01:49.017 --> 00:01:51.286
In today's message, joseph prince
00:01:51.286 --> 00:01:52.821
Opens the scriptures to reveal
00:01:52.821 --> 00:01:54.356
Your true identity in christ and the blessed inheritance
00:01:54.356 --> 00:01:57.526
That comes with belonging to him.
00:01:57.526 --> 00:02:00.629
Dear overcomer, yes, you.
00:02:00.629 --> 00:02:03.498
Did you know you've been given power to rise above sin,
00:02:03.498 --> 00:02:07.102
Authority to speak healing over sickness?
00:02:07.102 --> 00:02:09.938
Even the grip of addiction has no hold
00:02:09.938 --> 00:02:11.773
Over who you are in christ.
00:02:11.773 --> 00:02:13.809
You may not always feel victorious,
00:02:13.809 --> 00:02:16.178
But your identity isn't based on feelings.
00:02:16.178 --> 00:02:18.680
It's based on what god says about you,
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.149
And he says you are more than a conqueror
00:02:21.149 --> 00:02:23.285
In christ jesus.
00:02:23.285 --> 00:02:24.953

Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
00:02:59.221 --> 00:03:01.590
With today's program.
00:03:01.590 --> 00:03:03.058
Joseph prince: today there are teachings like only a select few
00:03:03.058 --> 00:03:05.661
Can be in the secret place of the most high.
00:03:05.661 --> 00:03:08.463
Or only those who are especially sanctified
00:03:08.463 --> 00:03:12.034
Can be in the secret place of the most high.
00:03:12.034 --> 00:03:14.303
I even hear things like the secret place is something that,
00:03:14.303 --> 00:03:17.272
You know, you dwell there but you don't live there.
00:03:17.272 --> 00:03:20.442
Or it's not a place you come and visit once in a while.
00:03:20.442 --> 00:03:22.844
But honestly, friend, when we realize
00:03:22.844 --> 00:03:24.379
The truth of what that place is,
00:03:24.379 --> 00:03:27.215
You cannot remove yourself from this place.
00:03:27.215 --> 00:03:30.185
You only have to realize it. why?
00:03:30.185 --> 00:03:32.688
Because you are seated with christ in heavenly places.
00:03:32.688 --> 00:03:36.692
The secret place is actually the place of the meshiach,
00:03:36.692 --> 00:03:40.362
The messiah of israel.
00:03:40.362 --> 00:03:42.831
And in the old testament, he is in secret form, all right?
00:03:42.831 --> 00:03:46.601
The messiah is not yet revealed. so he is in secret place, amen.
00:03:46.601 --> 00:03:51.373
He is the secret place, praise god.
00:03:51.373 --> 00:03:54.176
And we are now the dream of the psalmist
00:03:54.176 --> 00:03:58.380
To dwell in the secret place of the most high
00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:00.649
Where all the blessings of protection will be
00:04:00.649 --> 00:04:02.784
On you and your family.
00:04:02.784 --> 00:04:04.453
That dream that he has is our reality, amen.
00:04:04.453 --> 00:04:08.256
Look at this verse.
00:04:08.256 --> 00:04:09.591
The bible says: "we-- god who is rich in mercy
00:04:09.591 --> 00:04:12.194
Because of his great love with which he loved us,"
00:04:12.194 --> 00:04:15.664
I love this.
00:04:15.664 --> 00:04:16.998
It says god doesn't just love us.
00:04:16.998 --> 00:04:18.367
He loves us with a great love, amen?
00:04:18.367 --> 00:04:21.570
"even when we were dead in trespasses,
00:04:21.570 --> 00:04:24.973
Made us alive together with christ,
00:04:24.973 --> 00:04:26.708
By grace you have been saved, and raised us up together,
00:04:26.708 --> 00:04:30.579
And made us sit together in the heavenly places
00:04:30.579 --> 00:04:33.715
In christ jesus, that in the ages to come,"
00:04:33.715 --> 00:04:36.818
Notice he has made us sit together.
00:04:36.818 --> 00:04:38.920
So during this time of resurrection season,
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.858
That we remember that our lord was raised
00:04:42.858 --> 00:04:46.328
From the dead, the bible tells us
00:04:46.328 --> 00:04:49.831
The lord was raised.
00:04:49.831 --> 00:04:51.166
When he was raised, he wasn't raised alone.
00:04:51.166 --> 00:04:54.436
We were raised in him, hallelujah.
00:04:54.436 --> 00:04:57.472
"he raised us together." can you see that verse?
00:04:57.472 --> 00:04:59.841
"he raised us up together, and made us sit together
00:04:59.841 --> 00:05:03.578
In the heavenly places in christ jesus," amen.
00:05:03.578 --> 00:05:06.715
So whenever you think about the resurrection of jesus,
00:05:06.715 --> 00:05:08.750
Think of it as having a-- you have
00:05:08.750 --> 00:05:11.720
A special interest in it, because you were raised in him.
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.524
Whatever happened to jesus, happened to you.
00:05:15.524 --> 00:05:18.460
And your history with jesus started not when jesus
00:05:18.460 --> 00:05:21.530
Was walking by the shores of galilee.
00:05:21.530 --> 00:05:23.732
No, not at that time.
00:05:23.732 --> 00:05:25.066
But when he was at the cross.
00:05:25.066 --> 00:05:26.668
That's when god put you and i at the cross
00:05:26.668 --> 00:05:30.172
And we were crucified with christ
00:05:30.172 --> 00:05:31.873
So that the old man, that part that loves to sin,
00:05:31.873 --> 00:05:34.876
That part that is rebellious, that part that came
00:05:34.876 --> 00:05:37.479
From the fallen nature of man, that part that is subject
00:05:37.479 --> 00:05:40.081
To sickness and disease, that part that is corrupt,
00:05:40.081 --> 00:05:44.152
Was crucified once and for all at the cross.
00:05:44.152 --> 00:05:47.122
Now today, to our experience, the old man seems real.
00:05:47.122 --> 00:05:51.993
But to god and to faith, it is done away, hallelujah.
00:05:51.993 --> 00:05:56.398
It is finished.
00:05:56.398 --> 00:05:57.732
It is put aside, amen.
00:05:57.732 --> 00:05:59.067
And the bible says we are all new creations in christ.
00:05:59.067 --> 00:06:01.436
So your history in christ began at the cross.
00:06:01.436 --> 00:06:04.606
God put you there and whatever happened to christ
00:06:04.606 --> 00:06:07.008
Happened to you.
00:06:07.008 --> 00:06:08.343
And he was buried.
00:06:08.343 --> 00:06:09.678
We were buried with him, and hence we demonstrate
00:06:09.678 --> 00:06:13.548
That when we believe on christ, we are baptized.
00:06:13.548 --> 00:06:16.017
And then you are raised together with christ,
00:06:16.017 --> 00:06:18.420
Together with christ.
00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:19.788
And you know how far god raised christ?
00:06:19.788 --> 00:06:21.857
The bible says god raised him far above all principality
00:06:21.857 --> 00:06:26.194
And power and might and dominion
00:06:26.194 --> 00:06:29.731
And every name that is named,
00:06:29.731 --> 00:06:31.733
Not only in this world but also in that
00:06:31.733 --> 00:06:34.002
Which is to come.
00:06:34.002 --> 00:06:35.337
So friend, if somebody asks you, are you righteous?
00:06:35.337 --> 00:06:37.706
You say, i'm as righteous as jesus.
00:06:37.706 --> 00:06:40.008
Why?
00:06:40.008 --> 00:06:41.343
Because jesus is my righteousness.
00:06:41.343 --> 00:06:43.612
He is the measure of my righteousness, amen?
00:06:43.612 --> 00:06:47.349
Praise the lord. now look at this verse.
00:06:47.349 --> 00:06:49.384
Notice that it says: "god made us sit together with christ,
00:06:49.384 --> 00:06:53.021
That in the ages to come he might show
00:06:53.021 --> 00:06:56.625
The exceeding riches of his grace."
00:06:56.625 --> 00:06:58.460
In other words, grace is not just a dispensation.
00:06:58.460 --> 00:07:01.363
It is a dispensation. but grace will go on forever.
00:07:01.363 --> 00:07:05.700
"that in the ages to come god might show us
00:07:05.700 --> 00:07:09.771
The exceeding riches of his grace."
00:07:09.771 --> 00:07:11.840
There's a show coming, my friend.
00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:13.375
It's a great show.
00:07:13.375 --> 00:07:14.876
It's a show like no other show that you've seen on earth, amen?
00:07:14.876 --> 00:07:18.513
And the bible says that we will sit down with him,
00:07:18.513 --> 00:07:21.416
And god will present a show of the riches
00:07:21.416 --> 00:07:25.287
Of his grace in the ages to come, hallelujah.
00:07:25.287 --> 00:07:29.157
Because if you're seated with christ--
00:07:29.157 --> 00:07:31.092
If you're seated with christ
00:07:31.092 --> 00:07:33.028
In heavenly places at the father's right hand,
00:07:33.028 --> 00:07:36.831
Then god is at your right hand, right?
00:07:36.831 --> 00:07:40.335
So you're so close as you pray.
00:07:40.335 --> 00:07:42.337
You don't have to say, "father, i come to you,"
00:07:42.337 --> 00:07:44.406
Like god is high up there.
00:07:44.406 --> 00:07:46.207
You know, these are people who are natural people
00:07:46.207 --> 00:07:48.843
When they pray.
00:07:48.843 --> 00:07:50.178
People who are not saved.
00:07:50.178 --> 00:07:52.013
For example, the first time they pray,
00:07:52.013 --> 00:07:53.415
They always imagine that god is far away, amen?
00:07:53.415 --> 00:07:56.017
But for the believer, you are so close.
00:07:56.017 --> 00:07:58.887
You are in the secret place of the most high, amen.
00:07:58.887 --> 00:08:02.157
And you pray in that nearness, knowing that god
00:08:02.157 --> 00:08:06.027
Is so close to you.
00:08:06.027 --> 00:08:08.630
And then you pray.
00:08:08.630 --> 00:08:10.298
Don't pray as if, you know, people say,
00:08:10.298 --> 00:08:11.866
"let's bombard the gates of heaven."
00:08:11.866 --> 00:08:14.135
Number one, what are you doing outside the gates of heaven?
00:08:14.135 --> 00:08:17.973
I thought you were in.
00:08:17.973 --> 00:08:19.307
You ought to be in the place and realize it every day.
00:08:19.307 --> 00:08:21.910
When you realize it, there goes your fear.
00:08:21.910 --> 00:08:25.413
Just say, "father, i thank you that i'm safe and secure
00:08:25.413 --> 00:08:29.718
In christ risen.
00:08:29.718 --> 00:08:31.186
My family and i are in this place in christ risen."
00:08:31.186 --> 00:08:34.556
He wants you to come close to him before he hears your voice.
00:08:34.556 --> 00:08:37.459
He says, "let me see your face first.
00:08:37.459 --> 00:08:39.894
Then let me hear your voice," amen?
00:08:39.894 --> 00:08:41.696
And it says here that
00:08:41.696 --> 00:08:44.399
"in the secret places of the stairs."
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.136
Actually, the passage before this is so beautiful,
00:08:48.136 --> 00:08:50.205
It says, "rise up, my love."
00:08:50.205 --> 00:08:51.773
Again, the answer is, "ascend higher.
00:08:51.773 --> 00:08:54.175
Go to a higher place," amen.
00:08:54.175 --> 00:08:55.910
"above all these troubles.
00:08:55.910 --> 00:08:57.245
Ascend higher."
00:08:57.245 --> 00:08:58.580
Your call, child of god, is that of a prince
00:08:58.580 --> 00:09:00.849
And a princess, amen?
00:09:00.849 --> 00:09:02.651
You have a high call.
00:09:02.651 --> 00:09:04.019
Not this holier than thou attitude which is actually
00:09:04.019 --> 00:09:06.421
People who are earthbound,
00:09:06.421 --> 00:09:07.989
People who compare themselves horizontally with others.
00:09:07.989 --> 00:09:10.659
No, when you arise to where christ is,
00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:14.295
You cannot but be grateful.
00:09:14.295 --> 00:09:15.797
You cannot but be humble.
00:09:15.797 --> 00:09:17.298
And yet, it is not a servile kind of humility.
00:09:17.298 --> 00:09:20.502
It is a dignified humility.
00:09:20.502 --> 00:09:22.504
There's a touch of a royal mint.
00:09:22.504 --> 00:09:25.106
There's a touch of royalty in your persona.
00:09:25.106 --> 00:09:28.576
Not pride, not i'm holier than you attitude
00:09:28.576 --> 00:09:31.780
Kind of holiness.
00:09:31.780 --> 00:09:33.114
But a holiness like jesus, that's approachable.
00:09:33.114 --> 00:09:36.284
Yet you can see, even though dressed in a carpenter's garb,
00:09:36.284 --> 00:09:40.088
Walking by the sides of the shore of galilee,
00:09:40.088 --> 00:09:42.924
You can see him as a prince.
00:09:42.924 --> 00:09:46.695
You can see him touching and the leprosy goes, amen?
00:09:46.695 --> 00:09:49.798
Speaking the word and demons bow, amen?
00:09:49.798 --> 00:09:52.701
You can see him, majestic, noble, princely.
00:09:52.701 --> 00:09:58.773
Well, when the bible says god wants
00:09:58.773 --> 00:10:00.141
To conform all of us to the image of jesus,
00:10:00.141 --> 00:10:03.411
That's what god wants for you and i to become, amen?
00:10:03.411 --> 00:10:06.981
But the responsibilities of grace,
00:10:06.981 --> 00:10:08.817
And there is responsibilities in grace in the new testament,
00:10:08.817 --> 00:10:11.753
It's full of it.
00:10:11.753 --> 00:10:13.088
But notice the responsibilities of grace is not:
00:10:13.088 --> 00:10:15.824
Let us become what we are not.
00:10:15.824 --> 00:10:20.995
No, responsibility of grace is like this.
00:10:20.995 --> 00:10:23.164
Let us become what we already are.
00:10:23.164 --> 00:10:26.801
So all the exhortations are like this.
00:10:26.801 --> 00:10:28.903
If you are risen with christ, notice?
00:10:28.903 --> 00:10:33.108
Seek those things that are above.
00:10:33.108 --> 00:10:34.442
Since you are risen with christ, another way of saying it.
00:10:34.442 --> 00:10:36.344
Since you are risen with christ, seek those things
00:10:36.344 --> 00:10:38.379
That are above.
00:10:38.379 --> 00:10:39.714
The bible says you are complete in christ.
00:10:39.714 --> 00:10:42.083
Complete in christ, right?
00:10:42.083 --> 00:10:44.552
Now, walk out your completeness as you have received christ.
00:10:44.552 --> 00:10:49.023
And how do you receive christ?
00:10:49.023 --> 00:10:50.592
By grace through faith.
00:10:50.592 --> 00:10:52.560
So walk you in him.
00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:53.895
How do you walk your christian life
00:10:53.895 --> 00:10:55.396
Every day down here?
00:10:55.396 --> 00:10:56.965
By grace through faith.
00:10:56.965 --> 00:10:58.433
You don't leave the realm of grace.
00:10:58.433 --> 00:11:01.536
The responsibilities of legalism,
00:11:01.536 --> 00:11:03.872
Of people who promote the law, for example.
00:11:03.872 --> 00:11:06.207
It's in essence they are saying, let us become what we are not.
00:11:06.207 --> 00:11:09.811
We are not there yet. we are not that holy yet.
00:11:09.811 --> 00:11:12.147
We are not this yet.
00:11:12.147 --> 00:11:13.481
We have not overcome that sinful habit.
00:11:13.481 --> 00:11:14.816
So let us become what we are not.
00:11:14.816 --> 00:11:18.153
But grace says, let us become what we already are.
00:11:18.153 --> 00:11:22.423
And child of god, in god's eyes you are righteous.
00:11:22.423 --> 00:11:25.393
In god's eyes you are complete, amen?
00:11:25.393 --> 00:11:28.596
Now that you are complete in christ,
00:11:28.596 --> 00:11:30.365
Walk out that completeness.
00:11:30.365 --> 00:11:32.534
Now that you are righteous in christ,
00:11:32.534 --> 00:11:34.402
Walk it out in the way
00:11:34.402 --> 00:11:35.804
You deal with your fellow colleagues,
00:11:35.804 --> 00:11:39.541
In the way you relate to your wife, your family.
00:11:39.541 --> 00:11:42.377
Walk it out, amen.
00:11:42.377 --> 00:11:44.212
Walk it out like the prince that you are, amen, hallelujah.
00:11:44.212 --> 00:11:48.883
Thank you, jesus.
00:11:48.883 --> 00:11:50.218
Another thing the bible says that the lord jesus
00:11:50.218 --> 00:11:54.022
Is waiting for at this time.
00:11:54.022 --> 00:11:55.490
He's at the father's right hand.
00:11:55.490 --> 00:11:56.958
Do you know what he's waiting for?
00:11:56.958 --> 00:11:59.160
Watch this in 1 corinthians chapter 15.
00:11:59.160 --> 00:12:02.096
It says: "he must reign till he has put all enemies," say "all,"
00:12:02.096 --> 00:12:08.770
"all enemies under his feet."
00:12:08.770 --> 00:12:12.273
The only enemy left is physical death.
00:12:12.273 --> 00:12:16.277
And it says: "the last enemy," god calls death an enemy.
00:12:16.277 --> 00:12:22.116
Don't you ever forget that.
00:12:22.116 --> 00:12:23.551
It's never the father's dream, even when he made adam and eve,
00:12:23.551 --> 00:12:26.754
That man should die, that man should grow old,
00:12:26.754 --> 00:12:30.158
That man should have sickness and disease in his body.
00:12:30.158 --> 00:12:34.295
That's not the father's plan.
00:12:34.295 --> 00:12:35.763
God deems death as an enemy.
00:12:35.763 --> 00:12:39.534
And until you see that god hates death, god hates sickness
00:12:39.534 --> 00:12:44.339
And disease, you never release your faith
00:12:44.339 --> 00:12:47.775
To believe god for that, amen?
00:12:47.775 --> 00:12:51.012
So here it says: "the last enemy that will be put under his feet,
00:12:51.012 --> 00:12:56.351
That will be destroyed physically,
00:12:56.351 --> 00:12:58.620
Is physical death," all right?
00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:00.355
It's physical death.
00:13:00.355 --> 00:13:01.689
So we are waiting until one and so right now he's reigning
00:13:01.689 --> 00:13:03.825
With every passing day, my friend.
00:13:03.825 --> 00:13:06.261
It might not seem so but with every passing day,
00:13:06.261 --> 00:13:11.266
Another enemy has been put under his feet.
00:13:11.266 --> 00:13:14.535
The victory has been accomplished at the cross
00:13:14.535 --> 00:13:17.739
But experientially, a king can have victory
00:13:17.739 --> 00:13:20.541
Over numerous countries.
00:13:20.541 --> 00:13:22.744
But you know what he does after that?
00:13:22.744 --> 00:13:24.579
In those days, he will make the king of that country
00:13:24.579 --> 00:13:27.982
Come before his throne
00:13:27.982 --> 00:13:29.584
And one by one, he will put his foot on them.
00:13:29.584 --> 00:13:33.421
It's a gesture they practiced in ancient times,
00:13:33.421 --> 00:13:36.090
Even bible times.
00:13:36.090 --> 00:13:37.425
And those enemies, those kings, become his footstool.
00:13:37.425 --> 00:13:42.897
And we see a glimpse of this in the story of joshua.
00:13:42.897 --> 00:13:46.167
Joshua made all the enemies come before his men
00:13:46.167 --> 00:13:49.037
And he commanded all his generals,
00:13:49.037 --> 00:13:50.705
His men, to put their foot on the enemy's necks.
00:13:50.705 --> 00:13:54.442
It's a picture they'll never forget, amen?
00:13:54.442 --> 00:13:56.945
So the bible says: "jesus will reign
00:13:56.945 --> 00:14:00.381
Until he has put all his enemies under his feet."
00:14:00.381 --> 00:14:03.084
Now, why is that important?
00:14:03.084 --> 00:14:04.419
Because the bible says--
00:14:04.419 --> 00:14:06.554
There's a verse of scripture in talking about--
00:14:06.554 --> 00:14:10.725
Psalmist david says of the lord jesus.
00:14:10.725 --> 00:14:12.894
Look at this verse.
00:14:12.894 --> 00:14:14.762
David himself said in mark 12, by the holy spirit.
00:14:14.762 --> 00:14:17.565
So it's not just a natural utterance of david.
00:14:17.565 --> 00:14:19.901
It is by the holy spirit.
00:14:19.901 --> 00:14:21.869
He says, "the lord said to my lord, 'sit at my right hand,
00:14:21.869 --> 00:14:26.374
Till i make your enemies your footstool.'"
00:14:26.374 --> 00:14:29.077
Sit on my right hand.
00:14:29.077 --> 00:14:30.611
So god is here, right?
00:14:30.611 --> 00:14:32.013
The father is here, amen.
00:14:32.013 --> 00:14:33.881
And i am seated at his right hand.
00:14:33.881 --> 00:14:35.984
The father is not speaking to me.
00:14:35.984 --> 00:14:37.452
He is speaking to his son.
00:14:37.452 --> 00:14:39.187
"the lord said to my lord," in hebrew,
00:14:39.187 --> 00:14:42.590
Yahweh spoke to my adoni, my lord, okay?
00:14:42.590 --> 00:14:47.962
And by the way, this was the verse
00:14:47.962 --> 00:14:49.297
That jesus used to challenge the pharisees
00:14:49.297 --> 00:14:51.733
When the pharisees made the messiah
00:14:51.733 --> 00:14:57.438
Lesser than david.
00:14:57.438 --> 00:15:00.174
So david says, "how can david call him lord?"
00:15:00.174 --> 00:15:04.712
And jesus said, "how can david call him lord when the bible
00:15:04.712 --> 00:15:10.051
Says, even the lord, yahweh, said to my lord, the messiah,
00:15:10.051 --> 00:15:17.358
'sit on my right hand,'" amen?
00:15:17.358 --> 00:15:19.660
So david said it.
00:15:19.660 --> 00:15:21.262
It was uttered by david.
00:15:21.262 --> 00:15:22.597
So david called him my lord.
00:15:22.597 --> 00:15:24.565
He called jesus, the messiah, my lord.
00:15:24.565 --> 00:15:27.735
So jesus is greater than david. he is the root.
00:15:27.735 --> 00:15:31.272
He produced david, and he is
00:15:31.272 --> 00:15:33.074
The offspring of david.
00:15:33.074 --> 00:15:34.876
As deity, he is the root. he produced david.
00:15:34.876 --> 00:15:38.546
As man, david, he came from david's line, okay?
00:15:38.546 --> 00:15:43.384
So the father says, notice the verse here.
00:15:43.384 --> 00:15:45.920
The father said to jesus-- "the lord said to my lord,
00:15:45.920 --> 00:15:48.656
'sit at my right hand,
00:15:48.656 --> 00:15:50.525
Until i make your enemies your footstool.'"
00:15:50.525 --> 00:15:54.929
So we established just now that jesus will reign
00:15:54.929 --> 00:15:58.166
And that's what's happening
00:15:58.166 --> 00:15:59.500
With every passing day, all right,
00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:00.902
With every passing day, my friend, hallelujah.
00:16:00.902 --> 00:16:03.371
Come on, with every passing day, one more enemy is put
00:16:03.371 --> 00:16:08.643
Under his feet.
00:16:08.643 --> 00:16:10.178
The world for us is going to get better and better, amen?
00:16:10.178 --> 00:16:14.048
In our world, in our world, outside is going
00:16:14.048 --> 00:16:16.350
To get darker and darker.
00:16:16.350 --> 00:16:17.752
But for us, every enemy, we have, in fact,
00:16:17.752 --> 00:16:21.222
Last month, okay, compared to this month,
00:16:21.222 --> 00:16:24.859
More enemies have been put under his feet since then.
00:16:24.859 --> 00:16:28.296
This year, more enemies are put under his feet than last year
00:16:28.296 --> 00:16:31.899
Because he must reign till all his enemies
00:16:31.899 --> 00:16:35.169
Are under his feet.
00:16:35.169 --> 00:16:36.504
So the father said to him, the father said to jesus,
00:16:36.504 --> 00:16:40.041
"sit on my right hand."
00:16:40.041 --> 00:16:41.375
What is that?
00:16:41.375 --> 00:16:42.710
Rest.
00:16:42.710 --> 00:16:44.278
"until what?"
00:16:44.278 --> 00:16:45.746
I, not jesus, but the father.
00:16:45.746 --> 00:16:48.416
The father says to him,
00:16:48.416 --> 00:16:49.750
"sit on my right hand," all right?
00:16:49.750 --> 00:16:51.352
The father said to jesus, "sit on my right hand
00:16:51.352 --> 00:16:53.688
Until i make your enemies,"
00:16:53.688 --> 00:16:56.891
To name all the enemies you can imagine.
00:16:56.891 --> 00:16:59.227
All the enemies, whether it is addiction,
00:16:59.227 --> 00:17:03.498
Whether it is depression, whether it is
00:17:03.498 --> 00:17:05.333
Some sinful bondage that one is in.
00:17:05.333 --> 00:17:08.302
Name it all.
00:17:08.302 --> 00:17:09.637
We are raised with christ, seated with christ.
00:17:09.637 --> 00:17:12.573
Therefore, we must have the same attitude.
00:17:12.573 --> 00:17:14.742
If you want to see all your enemies come under your feet
00:17:14.742 --> 00:17:17.712
And you are in christ,
00:17:17.712 --> 00:17:19.046
Actually it is brought under jesus's feet
00:17:19.046 --> 00:17:21.282
But because you are in him, it is your feet in him.
00:17:21.282 --> 00:17:24.252
So the bible says to you, sit down.
00:17:24.252 --> 00:17:27.088
If you want an enemy defeated in your life, sit down.
00:17:27.088 --> 00:17:30.224
"pastor prince, i have this depression,
00:17:30.224 --> 00:17:32.493
And i can't sleep at night.
00:17:32.493 --> 00:17:34.095
It disturbs me at night and i find that the world
00:17:34.095 --> 00:17:36.964
Is getting darker and darker
00:17:36.964 --> 00:17:38.332
And my mind is getting darker and darker.
00:17:38.332 --> 00:17:39.767
I do not know how to get out of it.
00:17:39.767 --> 00:17:41.369
The more medicine i take, the more i'm in bondage
00:17:41.369 --> 00:17:44.005
To more medicine and i get into a cycle.
00:17:44.005 --> 00:17:46.107
I can't live without that.
00:17:46.107 --> 00:17:47.475
But yet, you know, those medicines are making me
00:17:47.475 --> 00:17:49.477
More depressed."
00:17:49.477 --> 00:17:51.646
There's hope, my friend.
00:17:51.646 --> 00:17:53.047
The first thing you got to do is rest.
00:17:53.047 --> 00:17:56.684
The first thing against any challenge in your life.
00:17:56.684 --> 00:18:00.621
If the devil presents a new challenge,
00:18:00.621 --> 00:18:02.757
It's a new sitting down, if you will.
00:18:02.757 --> 00:18:05.159
If the devil says, "what you gonna do about this?"
00:18:05.159 --> 00:18:06.527
You say, "nothing.
00:18:06.527 --> 00:18:08.129
The father will make you my footstool."
00:18:08.129 --> 00:18:11.566
"what are you going to do about the symptom in your body?"
00:18:11.566 --> 00:18:14.368
"nothing, the father will make that
00:18:14.368 --> 00:18:16.804
My footstool," amen?
00:18:16.804 --> 00:18:19.140
When i say nothing, it doesn't mean that if the spirit of god
00:18:19.140 --> 00:18:21.542
Leads you to find some information,
00:18:21.542 --> 00:18:23.711
To go to a doctor or whatever, you ignore that.
00:18:23.711 --> 00:18:25.580
No, no, no.
00:18:25.580 --> 00:18:26.914
But i'm saying that your spirit must always be at rest
00:18:26.914 --> 00:18:29.884
In christ risen at the father's right hand, amen?
00:18:29.884 --> 00:18:33.020
But many a times when you take this posture,
00:18:33.020 --> 00:18:35.022
Even that symptom goes away.
00:18:35.022 --> 00:18:39.227
And the devil says, "well, times are bad," all right?
00:18:39.227 --> 00:18:43.164
"will you still have a job in a few months' time?"
00:18:43.164 --> 00:18:47.034
Or you are unemployed, "are you able to get a job,
00:18:47.034 --> 00:18:50.171
Especially during this season that the world is in?"
00:18:50.171 --> 00:18:53.474
And god is saying, "how do you respond to that?"
00:18:53.474 --> 00:18:55.476
"what are you going to do?"
00:18:55.476 --> 00:18:56.811
The devil is saying, "what are you going to do?"
00:18:56.811 --> 00:18:59.280
And he will use the mouths of people as well,
00:18:59.280 --> 00:19:02.049
As well as the press and all that,
00:19:02.049 --> 00:19:03.584
Saying to you, "what are you going to do?"
00:19:03.584 --> 00:19:05.152
The impression is your responsibility is you.
00:19:05.152 --> 00:19:07.755
But god is saying, "you do nothing.
00:19:07.755 --> 00:19:10.191
Sit. you just sit."
00:19:10.191 --> 00:19:12.893
With every fresh challenge that comes,
00:19:12.893 --> 00:19:15.296
There must be a fresh sitting.
00:19:15.296 --> 00:19:17.231
When the devil tells you, "what are you going to do
00:19:17.231 --> 00:19:18.833
About your finances?"
00:19:18.833 --> 00:19:20.167
You just say, "well, you know what?
00:19:20.167 --> 00:19:21.736
I'm going to rest."
00:19:21.736 --> 00:19:24.438
Here's where all the voices start screaming and say,
00:19:24.438 --> 00:19:26.707
"you are so irresponsible!
00:19:26.707 --> 00:19:28.175
You are so lazy!"
00:19:28.175 --> 00:19:29.543
No, no, rest is not laziness.
00:19:29.543 --> 00:19:32.780
Rest, when you are rested in christ,
00:19:32.780 --> 00:19:35.916
You will find promptings of the spirit
00:19:35.916 --> 00:19:37.652
Getting clearer, amen?
00:19:37.652 --> 00:19:40.221
So rest is not inactivity.
00:19:40.221 --> 00:19:42.356
Rest is spirit-directed activity.
00:19:42.356 --> 00:19:45.159
You are busy, but yet you are at rest.
00:19:45.159 --> 00:19:48.496
If you use the analogy of the bible says
00:19:48.496 --> 00:19:51.165
You are the temple of god,
00:19:51.165 --> 00:19:52.533
And the temple of god is three parts.
00:19:52.533 --> 00:19:55.603
You have the outer court where the animals are--
00:19:55.603 --> 00:19:58.673
The sacrificial victims are slain and put on the altar.
00:19:58.673 --> 00:20:01.909
Then you have the holy place where you have the menorah,
00:20:01.909 --> 00:20:04.178
The lamp stand, you have the table of shewbread,
00:20:04.178 --> 00:20:06.447
The altar of incense.
00:20:06.447 --> 00:20:07.782
And then the holy of holies is the third part
00:20:07.782 --> 00:20:09.583
Where you have just the ark of the covenant
00:20:09.583 --> 00:20:12.153
In the holy of holies.
00:20:12.153 --> 00:20:13.954
Well, that holy of holies is our spirit man.
00:20:13.954 --> 00:20:17.625
Where the ark, the true ark of the covenant,
00:20:17.625 --> 00:20:20.227
Christ is, amen?
00:20:20.227 --> 00:20:23.331
And that's where the blood is sprinkled on our hearts.
00:20:23.331 --> 00:20:26.967
And then the holy place is actually our soul, right?
00:20:26.967 --> 00:20:31.839
Our soul.
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:33.174
Our soul need to be enlightened by the light of the candlestick
00:20:33.174 --> 00:20:37.378
In the holy place.
00:20:37.378 --> 00:20:38.846
Our soul need to be nourished, amen, with the bread of life.
00:20:38.846 --> 00:20:43.184
We need to pray, amen?
00:20:43.184 --> 00:20:45.119
And prayer produces a shalom, an aggressive peace
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:49.857
That garrisons your heart and mind from cares,
00:20:49.857 --> 00:20:52.093
Worries, and anxieties.
00:20:52.093 --> 00:20:53.427
That's your soul realm.
00:20:53.427 --> 00:20:54.762
Then the outer court, remember?
00:20:54.762 --> 00:20:57.131
Even god's tabernacle is three parts.
00:20:57.131 --> 00:21:01.369
God's temple is three parts.
00:21:01.369 --> 00:21:03.337
And you are the temple of god.
00:21:03.337 --> 00:21:05.206
The outer court is the busiest place.
00:21:05.206 --> 00:21:07.608
You know, like i said just now, the priests are cutting,
00:21:07.608 --> 00:21:10.010
Slaying, arranging, putting in fire, amen.
00:21:10.010 --> 00:21:13.881
Removing the ashes and busy, busy, busy, washing.
00:21:13.881 --> 00:21:17.785
Busy, busy, busy, amen?
00:21:17.785 --> 00:21:20.087
But in the holy of holies, perfect peace.
00:21:20.087 --> 00:21:25.659
So you can be busy outside.
00:21:25.659 --> 00:21:27.228
You can be doing things, your responsibilities.
00:21:27.228 --> 00:21:29.063
But don't do it worried.
00:21:29.063 --> 00:21:32.266
Don't do it hassled.
00:21:32.266 --> 00:21:34.802
Don't do it, you know, thinking, "what's going to happen
00:21:34.802 --> 00:21:38.606
If i don't do this right, i don't do that right?"
00:21:38.606 --> 00:21:40.908
Just be at rest inside.
00:21:40.908 --> 00:21:43.477
So, being at rest doesn't mean you sit down the whole day.
00:21:43.477 --> 00:21:46.447
You know you can be sitting down and your mind is working.
00:21:46.447 --> 00:21:48.749
You're not at rest.
00:21:48.749 --> 00:21:50.985
Be at rest means you can be busy outside,
00:21:50.985 --> 00:21:52.953
You can be doing your work online
00:21:52.953 --> 00:21:57.258
Or whatever, but in your spirit,
00:21:57.258 --> 00:21:58.993
You are at rest.
00:21:58.993 --> 00:22:00.361
You are seated. ensure that happens.
00:22:00.361 --> 00:22:03.063
Don't let anyone rob you of that, amen?
00:22:03.063 --> 00:22:06.400
And god promises, what are you going to do with all the enemies
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:09.003
That are still around?
00:22:09.003 --> 00:22:10.371
God says, you know what?
00:22:10.371 --> 00:22:11.705
Sit down first until i make all your enemies your footstool.
00:22:11.705 --> 00:22:17.478
So what am i saying?
00:22:17.478 --> 00:22:18.813
I'm saying have this attitude.
00:22:18.813 --> 00:22:21.682
I call it the throne attitude, okay?
00:22:21.682 --> 00:22:24.251
The throne attitude.
00:22:24.251 --> 00:22:25.820
In other words, the throne attitude is i sit down,
00:22:25.820 --> 00:22:28.456
God will take care of my enemies.
00:22:28.456 --> 00:22:30.124
And the devil will say, "you are so irresponsible.
00:22:30.124 --> 00:22:31.992
What are you going to do?"
00:22:31.992 --> 00:22:33.594
And you tell the devil, "it's not me.
00:22:33.594 --> 00:22:35.196
The lord. the battle is the lord's.
00:22:35.196 --> 00:22:38.065
I won't touch it," amen.
00:22:38.065 --> 00:22:39.667
Just like the tithe is the lord's,
00:22:39.667 --> 00:22:41.435
I won't touch the tithe.
00:22:41.435 --> 00:22:42.770
The battle is the lord's. i won't touch it, amen.
00:22:42.770 --> 00:22:45.840
I'll just tell the lord, "lord, this is your battle."
00:22:45.840 --> 00:22:47.975
What am i doing? i'm resting.
00:22:47.975 --> 00:22:49.944
And when i rest, he will make my enemies my footstool.
00:22:49.944 --> 00:22:55.182
And that-- your footstool means a very--
00:22:55.182 --> 00:22:56.984
Is a very personal application.
00:22:56.984 --> 00:22:58.953
All of us have this privilege of sitting down
00:22:58.953 --> 00:23:01.489
And seeing god make our enemies our footstool, amen?
00:23:01.489 --> 00:23:07.428
Your footstool is a very personal application.
00:23:07.428 --> 00:23:11.432
I pray that all of us, family, i pray that all of us
00:23:11.432 --> 00:23:15.135
Will come to that place of sitting down.
00:23:15.135 --> 00:23:17.171
We are already there.
00:23:17.171 --> 00:23:18.672
As far as god is concerned, god sees us there already.
00:23:18.672 --> 00:23:21.842
But if we don't realize it in our lives,
00:23:21.842 --> 00:23:25.145
We don't walk in it, okay?
00:23:25.145 --> 00:23:28.782
So friend, god wants you in a place of rest.
00:23:28.782 --> 00:23:32.786
Rest and see god do all the rest for you.
00:23:32.786 --> 00:23:37.758
All your enemies, no matter what they are,
00:23:37.758 --> 00:23:41.562
God will cause one by one
00:23:41.562 --> 00:23:43.297
To come right under your feet, amen?
00:23:43.297 --> 00:23:46.000
Under your feet means you have the victory over them.
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.270
It's not you doing it. the battle is the lord's.
00:23:49.270 --> 00:23:52.273
Look to him, trust him.
00:23:52.273 --> 00:23:54.508

Joseph prince: pray this prayer right now together with me.
00:24:28.576 --> 00:24:30.311
"father, i thank you that your grace comes to me
00:24:30.311 --> 00:24:35.583
One day at a time.
00:24:35.583 --> 00:24:37.284
So give me grace now not to worry about my needs
00:24:37.284 --> 00:24:41.589
For the future.
00:24:41.589 --> 00:24:43.724
Thank you, father.
00:24:43.724 --> 00:24:45.192
In jesus's name, i receive the grace
00:24:45.192 --> 00:24:48.062
To walk one step at a time.
00:24:48.062 --> 00:24:51.298
To walk being led by the spirit.
00:24:51.298 --> 00:24:54.234
To focus on what you have for me and i will not worry
00:24:54.234 --> 00:24:56.804
About tomorrow.
00:24:56.804 --> 00:24:58.138
