Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - The Secret To Receiving Through The Holy Communion | June 29, 2026
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.820
- Joseph prince: the million dollar question
- 00:00:12.889 --> 00:00:14.090
- That the church of jesus christ has is that
- 00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:15.558
- I know he bore my diseases,
- 00:00:15.692 --> 00:00:17.327
- Not just my sins, but how do i partake that?
- 00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:18.261
- How do i have access to it?
- 00:00:19.963 --> 00:00:21.831
- How do i become an intimate participator,
- 00:00:21.831 --> 00:00:24.467
- A sharer of what happened?"
- 00:00:24.467 --> 00:00:27.403
- Observe israel: "are not those who eat partakers?"
- 00:00:27.403 --> 00:00:31.374
- In other words, when you eat the bread
- 00:00:31.374 --> 00:00:34.477
- And drink the cup, you become
- 00:00:34.477 --> 00:00:37.747
- A partaker of what jesus did at the cross.
- 00:00:37.747 --> 00:00:42.018
- Male announcer: the world tells you to eat clean,
- 00:00:42.085 --> 00:00:43.920
- To cut carbs, to perfect your diet plan.
- 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.956
- But what is god's way?
- 00:00:46.956 --> 00:00:48.625
- In today's message, joseph shows us how our lord jesus provides
- 00:00:48.625 --> 00:00:51.828
- For our health and wholeness through the holy communion.
- 00:00:51.828 --> 00:00:55.098
- Come discover how you can unlock the power
- 00:00:55.098 --> 00:00:56.833
- Of the holy communion.
- 00:00:56.833 --> 00:00:58.434
- Request joseph's book
- 00:00:58.434 --> 00:00:59.769

- 00:01:12.415 --> 00:01:14.584
- And now here's pastor joseph prince with today's program.
- 00:01:14.651 --> 00:01:18.555
- Joseph prince: let's dive right into the word.
- 00:01:18.555 --> 00:01:19.889
- I got lots to share with you,
- 00:01:19.889 --> 00:01:21.424
- And i believe it's gonna bless you.
- 00:01:21.424 --> 00:01:23.526
- It's one of those messages that i feel that the lord
- 00:01:23.526 --> 00:01:25.562
- Has for us that he wants us to listen to again and again,
- 00:01:25.562 --> 00:01:28.665
- Especially when you're going through some specific trial,
- 00:01:28.665 --> 00:01:32.268
- Which i'll be mentioning afterwards.
- 00:01:32.268 --> 00:01:34.103
- But let's do it, 1 corinthians 10, right up here
- 00:01:34.103 --> 00:01:37.507
- At this well-known verse, one of the first things
- 00:01:37.507 --> 00:01:40.610
- That we learned, you know, we get saved
- 00:01:40.610 --> 00:01:42.612
- In the navigator's memory verse pack.
- 00:01:42.612 --> 00:01:46.349
- One of the first things they do is that they give you this verse
- 00:01:46.349 --> 00:01:48.651
- To memorize, all right?
- 00:01:48.651 --> 00:01:50.620
- "there has no temptation overtaken you."
- 00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:52.222
- See, i'm quoting from the old king james.
- 00:01:52.222 --> 00:01:54.290
- This is the new king james. you remember this verse.
- 00:01:54.290 --> 00:01:57.060
- But actually the word for temptation, "peirasmos,"
- 00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:01.998
- All right?
- 00:02:01.998 --> 00:02:03.333
- Peirasmos, temptation.
- 00:02:03.333 --> 00:02:04.867
- It's not just temptation to sin, it's also trial.
- 00:02:04.867 --> 00:02:09.105
- I said it's also trial.
- 00:02:09.105 --> 00:02:11.541
- Peirasmos is also trial.
- 00:02:11.541 --> 00:02:14.010
- When the doctors give you a bad diagnosis,
- 00:02:14.010 --> 00:02:16.312
- That's a trial in your life, amen?
- 00:02:16.312 --> 00:02:18.681
- When you hear that your business,
- 00:02:18.681 --> 00:02:20.550
- All right, is not doing so well, you just received news report,
- 00:02:20.550 --> 00:02:23.686
- All right, that's a trial of your faith, amen?
- 00:02:23.686 --> 00:02:26.756
- You hear bad news that one of your child
- 00:02:26.756 --> 00:02:29.892
- Has been found doing this and doing that or whatever,
- 00:02:29.892 --> 00:02:32.228
- That's a trial of your faith, amen?
- 00:02:32.228 --> 00:02:35.031
- So, all that is under that one greek word,
- 00:02:35.031 --> 00:02:38.201
- Peirasmos, okay?
- 00:02:38.201 --> 00:02:40.103
- It can be a temptation or a solicitation to sin,
- 00:02:40.103 --> 00:02:43.973
- To evil, or it's just a trial, same word.
- 00:02:43.973 --> 00:02:48.111
- I kind of wish there were more than one word,
- 00:02:48.111 --> 00:02:50.113
- But it's the same word.
- 00:02:50.113 --> 00:02:51.881
- So, you have to see from the context,
- 00:02:51.881 --> 00:02:53.383
- Is it talking about temptation to sin?
- 00:02:53.383 --> 00:02:56.619
- Or is it talking about trial,
- 00:02:56.619 --> 00:02:59.022
- The vicissitudes of life that one goes through?
- 00:02:59.022 --> 00:03:02.025
- So, let's look at this, and you decide.
- 00:03:02.025 --> 00:03:04.227
- "no temptation," i'm gonna use the interchangeably,
- 00:03:04.227 --> 00:03:06.429
- "no trial has overtaken you except such as is common to men.
- 00:03:06.429 --> 00:03:11.634
- But god is faithful." hallelujah.
- 00:03:11.634 --> 00:03:13.970
- Those three words is more than enough, man.
- 00:03:13.970 --> 00:03:16.973
- I'll tell you, you can rest.
- 00:03:16.973 --> 00:03:18.708
- You see, church, it's not so much the faith of a believer.
- 00:03:18.708 --> 00:03:20.977
- Your faith is important, "without faith
- 00:03:20.977 --> 00:03:22.445
- It's impossible to please god."
- 00:03:22.445 --> 00:03:23.880
- It's not so much the faith of the believer,
- 00:03:23.880 --> 00:03:25.815
- It's the faithfulness of the promiser.
- 00:03:25.815 --> 00:03:31.988
- "by faith sarah received strength
- 00:03:31.988 --> 00:03:35.325
- To conceive seed, for she judged him faithful."
- 00:03:35.325 --> 00:03:39.696
- She didn't judge herself full of faith,
- 00:03:39.696 --> 00:03:41.731
- She judged him faithful.
- 00:03:41.731 --> 00:03:44.801
- "but god is faithful who will not allow you
- 00:03:44.801 --> 00:03:46.803
- To be tested," or tempted.
- 00:03:46.803 --> 00:03:49.739
- Now, remember, i'm using words interchangeably.
- 00:03:49.739 --> 00:03:51.974
- "tempted," or tested, "beyond what you are able,
- 00:03:51.974 --> 00:03:55.712
- But with the testing will also make
- 00:03:55.712 --> 00:03:58.715
- The way of escape, that you may be able
- 00:03:58.715 --> 00:04:02.318
- To bear it."
- 00:04:02.318 --> 00:04:03.753
- Now, there seems to be a contradiction.
- 00:04:03.753 --> 00:04:05.755
- Number one, with the testing,
- 00:04:05.755 --> 00:04:08.257
- There is a way of escape that you may be able to bear it.
- 00:04:08.257 --> 00:04:12.161
- Now, usually, the idea of bearing something
- 00:04:12.161 --> 00:04:14.464
- With endurance, all right, with longsuffering,
- 00:04:14.464 --> 00:04:16.933
- Perseverance or whatever means you stay in that problem.
- 00:04:16.933 --> 00:04:19.369
- You don't escape.
- 00:04:19.369 --> 00:04:20.703
- If you escape, the testing is no more testing.
- 00:04:20.703 --> 00:04:26.209
- You found your way out.
- 00:04:26.209 --> 00:04:29.812
- So, it's like a contradiction.
- 00:04:29.812 --> 00:04:31.647
- How can you bear something if there's a way out, all right?
- 00:04:31.647 --> 00:04:36.252
- So, i'm gonna submit to you something
- 00:04:36.252 --> 00:04:37.587
- You're gonna learn here, and it's gonna bless you.
- 00:04:37.587 --> 00:04:39.822
- It says here, with the temptation,
- 00:04:39.822 --> 00:04:41.457
- How many are glad that with the testing
- 00:04:41.457 --> 00:04:42.792
- That comes, every testing, god promises that
- 00:04:42.792 --> 00:04:45.194
- With the testing that comes, god will provide a way out?
- 00:04:45.194 --> 00:04:49.232
- And the way out, notice that the way out,
- 00:04:49.232 --> 00:04:52.435
- The way of escape, it's not the way of escape.
- 00:04:52.435 --> 00:04:54.070
- It's actually one greek word, "ekbasis," ekbasis.
- 00:04:54.070 --> 00:05:00.109
- I know it sounds japanese, but it's greek, ekbasis, okay?
- 00:05:00.109 --> 00:05:04.580
- Ekbasis, "ek" means out of, "basis" is walk.
- 00:05:04.580 --> 00:05:09.552
- It's you literally walk out, exit, all right?
- 00:05:09.552 --> 00:05:14.590
- One greek word put it in english as exit.
- 00:05:14.590 --> 00:05:18.261
- The way out, the escape, the exit.
- 00:05:18.261 --> 00:05:21.564
- You walk out.
- 00:05:21.564 --> 00:05:23.833
- Ekbasis, amen?
- 00:05:23.833 --> 00:05:26.135
- So, it's one word, the way of escape
- 00:05:26.135 --> 00:05:27.670
- Is one word, okay?
- 00:05:27.670 --> 00:05:29.505
- And if you look at the old king james,
- 00:05:29.505 --> 00:05:32.175
- Which many of us read from and i memorize
- 00:05:32.175 --> 00:05:34.177
- From navigators, it's the old king james,
- 00:05:34.177 --> 00:05:35.745
- It says, "make a way to escape" with the temptation, god makes--
- 00:05:35.745 --> 00:05:39.982
- Or testing, god makes a way to escape.
- 00:05:39.982 --> 00:05:42.618
- So, the idea that i always have
- 00:05:42.618 --> 00:05:44.053
- In my mind is this, that with every trial that comes,
- 00:05:44.053 --> 00:05:47.190
- Whatever the trial is, god's faithfulness is
- 00:05:47.190 --> 00:05:49.325
- That he will always make a way to escape,
- 00:05:49.325 --> 00:05:52.261
- All right, make a way to escape.
- 00:05:52.261 --> 00:05:53.863
- But in the greek, i found out that
- 00:05:53.863 --> 00:05:56.632
- It is not a way to escape.
- 00:05:56.632 --> 00:05:58.801
- Because this idea "a way," we do not know what that way is.
- 00:05:58.801 --> 00:06:01.604
- But first and foremost, let me just tell you this,
- 00:06:01.604 --> 00:06:02.939
- It's not a way to escape.
- 00:06:02.939 --> 00:06:04.373
- In the greek, it is definite article,
- 00:06:04.373 --> 00:06:07.009
- The escape, the exit, the way out.
- 00:06:07.009 --> 00:06:11.914
- The way out, the way out.
- 00:06:11.914 --> 00:06:14.550
- The ekbasis, the way out.
- 00:06:14.550 --> 00:06:16.986
- And i challenge any scholar to look it up, all right?
- 00:06:16.986 --> 00:06:19.388
- That's why old king james is not very accurate.
- 00:06:19.388 --> 00:06:21.657
- The new king james says, "the way of escape."
- 00:06:21.657 --> 00:06:24.961
- It's accurate.
- 00:06:24.961 --> 00:06:26.295
- Now, when you say "a," that means
- 00:06:26.295 --> 00:06:28.197
- With every testing, you have to find a way.
- 00:06:28.197 --> 00:06:30.867
- A way can be a new way.
- 00:06:30.867 --> 00:06:32.935
- I said a way can be a new way, all right,
- 00:06:32.935 --> 00:06:35.371
- You understand or no?
- 00:06:35.371 --> 00:06:36.706
- There's always a way, there's always a way of escape.
- 00:06:36.706 --> 00:06:38.741
- There's always a door there for you.
- 00:06:38.741 --> 00:06:40.209
- That means it's general. you do not know what it is.
- 00:06:40.209 --> 00:06:42.678
- But when you say "the," you are pointing
- 00:06:42.678 --> 00:06:44.814
- To something very definite.
- 00:06:44.814 --> 00:06:47.850
- So, the way of escape, there must be something
- 00:06:47.850 --> 00:06:50.853
- That the writer has in mind, and it's found
- 00:06:50.853 --> 00:06:53.623
- In the context, okay?
- 00:06:53.623 --> 00:06:55.725
- It's all found in the context.
- 00:06:55.725 --> 00:06:57.827
- Before that, we look at, "that you may be able
- 00:06:57.827 --> 00:06:59.328
- To bear it."
- 00:06:59.328 --> 00:07:00.663
- All right, what is this word "bear it"?
- 00:07:00.663 --> 00:07:02.365
- "it" down there, we left it untranslated
- 00:07:02.365 --> 00:07:04.567
- Because we're going to see that it's in the italics,
- 00:07:04.567 --> 00:07:06.536
- Which means it's not in the original greek,
- 00:07:06.536 --> 00:07:08.571
- All right?
- 00:07:08.571 --> 00:07:09.906
- So, we look at the word "bear." the word "bear" is "hupophero."
- 00:07:09.906 --> 00:07:13.743
- Are y'all doing fine so far? can follow, right?
- 00:07:13.743 --> 00:07:16.646
- Okay, hupophero, what is hupophero?
- 00:07:16.646 --> 00:07:18.481
- What is hupophero? hupo means under.
- 00:07:18.481 --> 00:07:22.251
- When something comes under, it's hupo.
- 00:07:22.251 --> 00:07:24.620
- Phero is to be borne along, like on a river,
- 00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:28.391
- Like a ship being borne along.
- 00:07:28.391 --> 00:07:30.293
- Now, i have many, many word studies in my library.
- 00:07:30.293 --> 00:07:34.463
- One of the word studies says it like this.
- 00:07:34.463 --> 00:07:36.832
- This is not from me, these words, okay?
- 00:07:36.832 --> 00:07:38.534
- Hupophero means like this: an undercurrent of a river
- 00:07:38.534 --> 00:07:41.804
- Carrying someone away, carried safely away from danger.
- 00:07:41.804 --> 00:07:47.410
- It's not this idea of bearing it,
- 00:07:47.410 --> 00:07:49.011
- Sit down there, you know, bear it.
- 00:07:49.011 --> 00:07:50.580
- You know, it's the idea of the way
- 00:07:50.580 --> 00:07:52.348
- Out is actually, hey, god released
- 00:07:52.348 --> 00:07:54.650
- More of his spirit to carry you out, amen?
- 00:07:54.650 --> 00:07:58.621
- Undercurrent of a river because the word hupo is under,
- 00:07:58.621 --> 00:08:01.791
- All right.
- 00:08:01.791 --> 00:08:03.125
- Carrying is the word phero, all right, carry it
- 00:08:03.125 --> 00:08:05.328
- Safely away from danger.
- 00:08:05.328 --> 00:08:06.729
- Praise the lord.
- 00:08:06.729 --> 00:08:08.698
- Now, we come to the revelation.
- 00:08:08.698 --> 00:08:10.066
- We go back to 1 corinthians 10:13,
- 00:08:10.066 --> 00:08:12.168
- All right?
- 00:08:12.168 --> 00:08:13.502
- God makes the way of escape that you may be borne,
- 00:08:13.502 --> 00:08:16.872
- Carried safely away, from danger.
- 00:08:16.872 --> 00:08:20.009
- So, what is the context?
- 00:08:20.009 --> 00:08:21.877
- Look at this.
- 00:08:21.877 --> 00:08:23.412
- Now i'm gonna show you my bible,
- 00:08:23.412 --> 00:08:25.081
- And i'm gonna show you my finger and thumb.
- 00:08:25.081 --> 00:08:27.783
- Okay, now you see the context.
- 00:08:27.783 --> 00:08:31.120
- Verse 13 to 16, can you see this?
- 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.256
- Now, this is from the old king james.
- 00:08:34.256 --> 00:08:36.158
- I use the old king james a lot. now, look at the context.
- 00:08:36.158 --> 00:08:39.195
- Just two verses after that, it talks about
- 00:08:39.195 --> 00:08:41.864
- "the cup of blessing," verse 16,
- 00:08:41.864 --> 00:08:44.333
- "which we bless, is it not the communion
- 00:08:44.333 --> 00:08:47.003
- Of the blood of christ?
- 00:08:47.003 --> 00:08:48.971
- The bread which we break, is it not the communion
- 00:08:48.971 --> 00:08:52.642
- Of the body of christ?"
- 00:08:52.642 --> 00:08:54.543
- I'm like, huh?
- 00:08:54.543 --> 00:08:56.846
- All of a sudden about trial, the way out,
- 00:08:56.846 --> 00:08:59.482
- God will give you the way out, all right?
- 00:08:59.482 --> 00:09:01.817
- You'll be borne safely away from danger.
- 00:09:01.817 --> 00:09:05.154
- And then two verses after that, it tells you,
- 00:09:05.154 --> 00:09:07.790
- And it tells you like, "i can only speak this,"
- 00:09:07.790 --> 00:09:09.458
- Verse 15, "to wise men.
- 00:09:09.458 --> 00:09:11.727
- Judge you what i say."
- 00:09:11.727 --> 00:09:13.062
- In other words, it's gonna take a revelation here.
- 00:09:13.062 --> 00:09:14.864
- I'm gonna tell you something, it will take a revelation.
- 00:09:14.864 --> 00:09:16.866
- You understand?
- 00:09:16.866 --> 00:09:18.334
- And, it will take the wisdom of god.
- 00:09:18.334 --> 00:09:19.802
- It will take spiritual intelligence.
- 00:09:19.802 --> 00:09:21.270
- Are you ready for that?
- 00:09:21.270 --> 00:09:22.805
- So, and then it says here, the cup--this is communion,
- 00:09:22.805 --> 00:09:25.508
- Verse 16 is communion.
- 00:09:25.508 --> 00:09:26.842
- What about the cup of blessing?
- 00:09:26.842 --> 00:09:28.244
- What have they got to do-- and the bread?
- 00:09:28.244 --> 00:09:30.079
- What have they got to do with the way of escape?
- 00:09:30.079 --> 00:09:32.848
- The way out? the ekbasis?
- 00:09:32.848 --> 00:09:35.051
- To walk out from your trial. what does it got to do with it?
- 00:09:35.051 --> 00:09:40.523
- But before that, it says, "wherefore," verse 14,
- 00:09:40.523 --> 00:09:42.858
- "my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry."
- 00:09:42.858 --> 00:09:46.328
- Now, the verses before verse 13 talks about idolatry.
- 00:09:46.328 --> 00:09:49.432
- You know how he talks about idolatry?
- 00:09:49.432 --> 00:09:51.033
- Same chapter, right, let's go to verse 7,
- 00:09:51.033 --> 00:09:53.769
- "do not become idolaters as were some of them.
- 00:09:53.769 --> 00:09:57.106
- As it is written, 'the people sat down to eat
- 00:09:57.106 --> 00:09:59.975
- And drink, and rose up to play.'"
- 00:09:59.975 --> 00:10:02.378
- He's quoting from the incident after they built a golden calf.
- 00:10:02.378 --> 00:10:06.816
- You know what they did after they built a golden calf,
- 00:10:06.816 --> 00:10:08.284
- The children of israel?
- 00:10:08.284 --> 00:10:10.386
- After they built a golden calf,
- 00:10:10.386 --> 00:10:14.190
- They sat down, ate, and drank offerings
- 00:10:14.190 --> 00:10:18.294
- To the golden calf.
- 00:10:18.294 --> 00:10:20.162
- That is idolatry, "and they rose up."
- 00:10:20.162 --> 00:10:22.364
- The word play there is the idea of orgies.
- 00:10:22.364 --> 00:10:26.001
- They had wild parties.
- 00:10:26.001 --> 00:10:28.003
- That's the word we will use today, all right?
- 00:10:28.003 --> 00:10:30.139
- Not just party, wild parties.
- 00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:32.441
- They sat down, eat, they ate.
- 00:10:32.441 --> 00:10:34.276
- So, the idea of eating and drinking
- 00:10:34.276 --> 00:10:37.012
- Before a foreign god, which is no god, it's an idol.
- 00:10:37.012 --> 00:10:43.219
- Can you see the context?
- 00:10:43.219 --> 00:10:44.553
- I'm showing you the context, it's talking about communion.
- 00:10:44.553 --> 00:10:48.257
- Can you see that?
- 00:10:48.257 --> 00:10:49.592
- In fact, you go behind in the same chapter,
- 00:10:49.592 --> 00:10:51.660
- It says, "and all the people of israel,
- 00:10:51.660 --> 00:10:53.829
- They drank--they ate the same spiritual food,
- 00:10:53.829 --> 00:10:58.134
- And they drank the same spiritual drink,
- 00:10:58.134 --> 00:11:00.402
- And they drank from the rock that followed them,
- 00:11:00.402 --> 00:11:02.571
- Who was christ."
- 00:11:02.571 --> 00:11:04.340
- For eating and drinking again.
- 00:11:04.340 --> 00:11:06.475
- Church, do you know that everything that happened to man
- 00:11:06.475 --> 00:11:09.278
- Is because man ate his way into all this mess?
- 00:11:09.278 --> 00:11:13.649
- I want to show you the background
- 00:11:13.649 --> 00:11:14.984
- Of the same chapter to show you it's about eating and drinking.
- 00:11:14.984 --> 00:11:18.053
- And by the way, if you look at the rest
- 00:11:18.053 --> 00:11:20.089
- Of the remaining chapter, of chapter 10,
- 00:11:20.089 --> 00:11:22.158
- It talks about eating, whatever you eat,
- 00:11:22.158 --> 00:11:24.093
- Do all to the glory of god, about eating and drinking.
- 00:11:24.093 --> 00:11:26.896
- And that's why the very next chapter, okay,
- 00:11:26.896 --> 00:11:29.732
- He talks about the apostle paul saying,
- 00:11:29.732 --> 00:11:32.601
- Now it's 1 corinthians 11, "guys, i received
- 00:11:32.601 --> 00:11:35.404
- From the lord jesus what i delivered to you.
- 00:11:35.404 --> 00:11:38.307
- That the same night jesus was betrayed, he took bread."
- 00:11:38.307 --> 00:11:41.644
- The apostle paul, in the next chapter,
- 00:11:41.644 --> 00:11:44.413
- 1 corinthians 11, said, "i received from the lord
- 00:11:44.413 --> 00:11:48.184
- That which i also delivered to you.
- 00:11:48.184 --> 00:11:50.152
- The same night he was betrayed, he took bread
- 00:11:50.152 --> 00:11:53.422
- And said--he broke it and said, 'this
- 00:11:53.422 --> 00:11:55.825
- Is my body broken for you.'
- 00:11:55.825 --> 00:11:57.226
- In the same manner, he took the cup,
- 00:11:57.226 --> 00:11:58.861
- He gave thanks, and he says,
- 00:11:58.861 --> 00:12:00.629
- 'this is my blood shed for the remission of sins.'"
- 00:12:00.629 --> 00:12:04.733
- Now, church, let me ask you a question.
- 00:12:04.733 --> 00:12:06.202
- Why was it that in chapter 11, paul had to say,
- 00:12:06.202 --> 00:12:10.005
- "i received from the lord that which i also delivered to you"?
- 00:12:10.005 --> 00:12:14.810
- He could have gone to peter, he could have gone to matthew.
- 00:12:14.810 --> 00:12:18.881
- Matthew, mark, and luke recorded
- 00:12:18.881 --> 00:12:21.617
- In the synoptic gospels that jesus instituted the communion,
- 00:12:21.617 --> 00:12:27.289
- The lord's supper.
- 00:12:27.289 --> 00:12:29.525
- Yet, the lord jesus, the present day, glorified,
- 00:12:29.525 --> 00:12:33.929
- Ascended christ, thought that communion is
- 00:12:33.929 --> 00:12:36.165
- So important that he will give a personal revelation
- 00:12:36.165 --> 00:12:40.569
- To the apostle paul.
- 00:12:40.569 --> 00:12:42.571
- And paul himself said, "i received from the lord
- 00:12:42.571 --> 00:12:46.508
- That which i delivered to you.
- 00:12:46.508 --> 00:12:48.177
- The same night he was betrayed."
- 00:12:48.177 --> 00:12:49.879
- In other words, he didn't get it
- 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:51.280
- From matthew, he didn't get it
- 00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:53.082
- From mark, luke, or john.
- 00:12:53.082 --> 00:12:56.585
- He got it from the lord.
- 00:12:56.585 --> 00:12:58.487
- So, let's go back to 1 corinthians 10,
- 00:12:58.487 --> 00:13:00.456
- The context.
- 00:13:00.456 --> 00:13:01.891
- All right, verse 13, okay.
- 00:13:01.891 --> 00:13:04.560
- Now, "the cup of blessing which we bless,
- 00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:06.629
- Is it not the communion of the blood of christ?
- 00:13:06.629 --> 00:13:09.131
- The bread which we break, is it not the communion
- 00:13:09.131 --> 00:13:10.666
- Of the body of christ?"
- 00:13:10.666 --> 00:13:12.001
- So the context is very, very clear, people, all right?
- 00:13:12.001 --> 00:13:14.637
- It's talking-- because all of a sudden
- 00:13:14.637 --> 00:13:15.971
- He talks about communion.
- 00:13:15.971 --> 00:13:17.306
- Doesn't make sense.
- 00:13:17.306 --> 00:13:18.641
- And knowing the apostle paul,
- 00:13:18.641 --> 00:13:19.975
- He's a very systematic teacher, okay?
- 00:13:19.975 --> 00:13:23.846
- He's very intelligent.
- 00:13:23.846 --> 00:13:25.414
- But when it comes to the bible,
- 00:13:25.414 --> 00:13:27.583
- God orchestrates everything.
- 00:13:27.583 --> 00:13:30.586
- No verse is taken out of context.
- 00:13:30.586 --> 00:13:33.289
- I've shown you the verses before, "they sat down
- 00:13:33.289 --> 00:13:35.224
- To eat and drink, and they rose up to play."
- 00:13:35.224 --> 00:13:37.693
- Now, let's go to verse 16, on the screen.
- 00:13:37.693 --> 00:13:42.097
- "the cup of blessing which we bless,
- 00:13:42.097 --> 00:13:44.400
- Is it not the communion of the blood of christ?"
- 00:13:44.400 --> 00:13:46.402
- This word, communion is the word "koinonia,"
- 00:13:46.402 --> 00:13:48.971
- Which is the word for fellowship, all right?
- 00:13:48.971 --> 00:13:51.840
- Association. it's not just fellowship.
- 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.276
- You can have fellowship with me, but i just met you yesterday,
- 00:13:54.276 --> 00:13:57.012
- All right?
- 00:13:57.012 --> 00:13:58.347
- In other words, it's a fellowship,
- 00:13:58.347 --> 00:13:59.682
- But it's a fellowship over tea, all right, kind of association.
- 00:13:59.682 --> 00:14:03.385
- But the word down there is actually intimate.
- 00:14:03.385 --> 00:14:05.721
- It's intimate participation.
- 00:14:05.721 --> 00:14:08.324
- Intimate participation. are you listening?
- 00:14:08.324 --> 00:14:12.194
- This word would be used also in the idea of a husband
- 00:14:12.194 --> 00:14:18.133
- And a wife being intimate.
- 00:14:18.133 --> 00:14:20.836
- They say things to each other, all right?
- 00:14:20.836 --> 00:14:23.639
- There are things that they say and do
- 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:25.607
- That no one else is privy to.
- 00:14:25.607 --> 00:14:27.876
- They're intimately participating.
- 00:14:27.876 --> 00:14:30.479
- The thoughts, spirit, soul, and body, okay?
- 00:14:30.479 --> 00:14:33.182
- That's the idea of communion.
- 00:14:33.182 --> 00:14:34.650
- Are you with me so far?
- 00:14:34.650 --> 00:14:36.618
- Are you blessed? amen?
- 00:14:36.618 --> 00:14:39.388
- Now, keep that in mind, okay? what is that?
- 00:14:39.388 --> 00:14:42.091
- Communion.
- 00:14:42.091 --> 00:14:43.759
- Then "the bread which we break,
- 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:45.094
- Is it not the communion of the body of christ?
- 00:14:45.094 --> 00:14:47.629
- For we, though many, are one bread and one body;
- 00:14:47.629 --> 00:14:50.566
- For we all partake of that one bread."
- 00:14:50.566 --> 00:14:53.602
- Now, it's not saying that we are all partaking
- 00:14:53.602 --> 00:14:56.438
- Of each other.
- 00:14:56.438 --> 00:14:58.107
- There are those who teach when you take the bread,
- 00:14:58.107 --> 00:15:01.243
- Remember this is the body of christ.
- 00:15:01.243 --> 00:15:03.112
- No, no, no, no, jesus never said,
- 00:15:03.112 --> 00:15:04.613
- "this is the mystical body of christ."
- 00:15:04.613 --> 00:15:06.148
- We are the body of christ, but i mean,
- 00:15:06.148 --> 00:15:07.750
- When he took the bread, when the bread is
- 00:15:07.750 --> 00:15:09.351
- With the cup of wine, it's always his physical body,
- 00:15:09.351 --> 00:15:13.155
- "this is my body."
- 00:15:13.155 --> 00:15:14.590
- He's not referring to the mystical body
- 00:15:14.590 --> 00:15:15.958
- That was to come.
- 00:15:15.958 --> 00:15:17.826
- Are you listening? and he is very precise.
- 00:15:17.826 --> 00:15:20.963
- "we, though many, are one bread, one body;
- 00:15:20.963 --> 00:15:23.232
- For we all partake of that one bread."
- 00:15:23.232 --> 00:15:25.234
- In other words, we are one bread, one body now,
- 00:15:25.234 --> 00:15:27.469
- Because we all partake of jesus's body.
- 00:15:27.469 --> 00:15:30.305
- You got it? now, how do we partake?
- 00:15:30.305 --> 00:15:32.941
- The million-dollar question that the church of jesus christ
- 00:15:32.941 --> 00:15:35.110
- Has is that, "i know he bore my diseases,
- 00:15:35.110 --> 00:15:37.046
- Not just my sins, but how do i partake that?
- 00:15:37.046 --> 00:15:39.948
- How do i have access to it?
- 00:15:39.948 --> 00:15:41.850
- How do i become a koinonia, an intimate participator,
- 00:15:41.850 --> 00:15:46.889
- A sharer of what happened?"
- 00:15:46.889 --> 00:15:50.192
- Observe israel: "are not those who eat partakers?"
- 00:15:50.192 --> 00:15:55.531
- In other words, when you eat the bread
- 00:15:55.531 --> 00:15:58.600
- And drink the cup, you become
- 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:01.770
- A partaker of what jesus did at the cross.
- 00:16:01.770 --> 00:16:06.642
- Now, go to 1 corinthians 11,
- 00:16:06.642 --> 00:16:08.644
- "for this reason," singular reason,
- 00:16:08.644 --> 00:16:10.112
- Only one reason in the church,
- 00:16:10.112 --> 00:16:11.447
- "many are weak and sick among you,
- 00:16:11.447 --> 00:16:13.882
- And many sleep."
- 00:16:13.882 --> 00:16:15.217
- Sleep there is die.
- 00:16:15.217 --> 00:16:17.352
- Behold, i speak plainly. in those days they said sleep.
- 00:16:17.352 --> 00:16:20.889
- For a believer, death holds no more terror.
- 00:16:20.889 --> 00:16:24.259
- There's no more sting. jesus conquered death.
- 00:16:24.259 --> 00:16:26.295
- So, for a believer, they say they fall asleep.
- 00:16:26.295 --> 00:16:28.564
- A sinner dies, a believer sleeps
- 00:16:28.564 --> 00:16:31.733
- Until jesus raise his body from the dead, all right?
- 00:16:31.733 --> 00:16:34.837
- But look at this.
- 00:16:34.837 --> 00:16:36.171
- One reason, for one reason, not reasons.
- 00:16:36.171 --> 00:16:39.007
- I checked it out in the greek, the word reason is singular.
- 00:16:39.007 --> 00:16:42.878
- Many. kind of wish he said few.
- 00:16:42.878 --> 00:16:44.613
- "many are weak, sick among you, and many sleep."
- 00:16:44.613 --> 00:16:47.783
- What's the reason? what's the reason?
- 00:16:47.783 --> 00:16:50.352
- Look at the verse before that, "he who eats
- 00:16:50.352 --> 00:16:52.721
- And drinks in an unworthy manner."
- 00:16:52.721 --> 00:16:54.556
- The key is unworthy manner, "eats and drinks
- 00:16:54.556 --> 00:16:56.658
- Judgment to himself, not discerning the lord's body."
- 00:16:56.658 --> 00:17:00.496
- So, if i tell you, and you're suffering
- 00:17:00.496 --> 00:17:02.331
- From malaria, and i say, "i got quinine tablets,
- 00:17:02.331 --> 00:17:05.134
- Take this quinine tablets."
- 00:17:05.134 --> 00:17:06.468
- You say, "i refuse to."
- 00:17:06.468 --> 00:17:07.803
- I'll put it in the water, all right?
- 00:17:07.803 --> 00:17:09.138
- Okay, now drink it, drink it.
- 00:17:09.138 --> 00:17:11.073
- And you say, "i don't need a quinine business or not."
- 00:17:11.073 --> 00:17:13.075
- You are drinking damnation to yourself by not drinking
- 00:17:13.075 --> 00:17:16.778
- The solution.
- 00:17:16.778 --> 00:17:18.580
- The world as it is, is dying.
- 00:17:18.580 --> 00:17:21.750
- It's not as if, "oh, you have sinned,
- 00:17:21.750 --> 00:17:23.285
- You take the lord's supper, then you die."
- 00:17:23.285 --> 00:17:25.053
- No, no, no. the world is dying.
- 00:17:25.053 --> 00:17:27.789
- That's why the same chapter says
- 00:17:27.789 --> 00:17:29.758
- That god doesn't want us to be condemned with the world.
- 00:17:29.758 --> 00:17:32.127
- There's a condemnation in this world
- 00:17:32.127 --> 00:17:33.662
- That was released, a divine sentence
- 00:17:33.662 --> 00:17:35.764
- That was released ever since adam sinned.
- 00:17:35.764 --> 00:17:39.268
- And that divine sentence includes sickness.
- 00:17:39.268 --> 00:17:43.539
- Communion is the way out.
- 00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:45.941
- Is the ekbasis.
- 00:17:45.941 --> 00:17:48.710
- Are you listening, people, amen?
- 00:17:48.710 --> 00:17:50.879
- So, not discerning the lord's body.
- 00:17:50.879 --> 00:17:52.614
- So, the problem is that they knew the cup.
- 00:17:52.614 --> 00:17:54.416
- Majority of denominations that practice,
- 00:17:54.416 --> 00:17:58.320
- Church denomination,
- 00:17:58.320 --> 00:17:59.655
- And i speak this with a heavy heart.
- 00:17:59.655 --> 00:18:01.790
- They have communion, but many-a-times
- 00:18:01.790 --> 00:18:03.792
- They lump the bread and the cup as one.
- 00:18:03.792 --> 00:18:07.563
- Thank you, lord, for forgiving us of our sins.
- 00:18:07.563 --> 00:18:09.665
- You died for our sins. hardly mention disease.
- 00:18:09.665 --> 00:18:12.801
- They're not discerning the lord's body.
- 00:18:12.801 --> 00:18:14.369
- The word discerning, diakrino, to make a separation
- 00:18:14.369 --> 00:18:17.506
- Between the bread and the cup, okay?
- 00:18:17.506 --> 00:18:21.944
- All right, so isaiah says, "surely he has borne our griefs
- 00:18:21.944 --> 00:18:24.046
- And carried our sorrows."
- 00:18:24.046 --> 00:18:25.380
- Now, this is very unfortunate, very unfortunate.
- 00:18:25.380 --> 00:18:28.150
- Grief and sorrows are the hebrew word "kholee"
- 00:18:28.150 --> 00:18:33.522
- And "makov," all right?
- 00:18:33.522 --> 00:18:35.657
- Kholee is diseases, makov is pains.
- 00:18:35.657 --> 00:18:37.626
- I remember sharing with one of a messianic jewish man
- 00:18:37.626 --> 00:18:41.763
- Who is a pastor in jerusalem, a very dignified man.
- 00:18:41.763 --> 00:18:45.167
- Today he's with the lord.
- 00:18:45.167 --> 00:18:46.501
- Many years ago, i sat down with him
- 00:18:46.501 --> 00:18:48.170
- And i shared with him.
- 00:18:48.170 --> 00:18:49.504
- And you know, he's from the persuasion,
- 00:18:49.504 --> 00:18:50.839
- He don't believe that healing is for today, all right?
- 00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:53.108
- And i shared with him isaiah 53.
- 00:18:53.108 --> 00:18:55.143
- And i said, "is this kholee and makov?
- 00:18:55.143 --> 00:18:59.748
- He read it, "yeah, mm-mm-mm."
- 00:18:59.748 --> 00:19:02.217
- Very dignified elderly man.
- 00:19:02.217 --> 00:19:05.287
- And i said, "is kholee diseases
- 00:19:05.287 --> 00:19:08.390
- Or is it spiritual diseases like some scholars
- 00:19:08.390 --> 00:19:10.192
- Try to tell us?"
- 00:19:10.192 --> 00:19:11.526
- He said, "no, it's always physical diseases."
- 00:19:11.526 --> 00:19:14.563
- And what about pains, physical pains?
- 00:19:14.563 --> 00:19:17.099
- Then you read the whole thing, "hm," he said.
- 00:19:17.099 --> 00:19:19.935
- "hm."
- 00:19:19.935 --> 00:19:21.536
- He was very interested, all right?
- 00:19:21.536 --> 00:19:23.839
- Look at youngs, who is-- young's translation
- 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:25.707
- Of the bible, or young is an amazing scholar.
- 00:19:25.707 --> 00:19:28.710
- Young's concordance, strong and young's.
- 00:19:28.710 --> 00:19:30.479
- You must have three concordants in your life:
- 00:19:30.479 --> 00:19:32.481
- Strong concordance, young's concordance,
- 00:19:32.481 --> 00:19:34.483
- And cruden's.
- 00:19:34.483 --> 00:19:35.817
- So you become young, strong, and crude, all right?
- 00:19:35.817 --> 00:19:38.620
- So, look at young's translation.
- 00:19:38.620 --> 00:19:41.089
- "surely our sicknesses he has borne, and our pains--
- 00:19:41.089 --> 00:19:46.194
- He has carried them."
- 00:19:46.194 --> 00:19:47.596
- Is there another quotation of this?
- 00:19:47.596 --> 00:19:48.930
- Yes, thank god for jesus's ministry.
- 00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:50.999
- Matthew 8, matthew 8, "that it might be fulfilled,"
- 00:19:50.999 --> 00:19:53.969
- This is new testament, "that it might be fulfilled
- 00:19:53.969 --> 00:19:55.737
- Which was spoken by isaiah the prophet,
- 00:19:55.737 --> 00:19:57.973
- Saying: 'he himself took our infirmities
- 00:19:57.973 --> 00:20:01.743
- And bore our sicknesses.'"
- 00:20:01.743 --> 00:20:04.112
- And here refers to physical infirmities
- 00:20:04.112 --> 00:20:07.215
- And weaknesses and infirmities
- 00:20:07.215 --> 00:20:10.152
- And diseases and pains.
- 00:20:10.152 --> 00:20:12.187
- Very, very clear.
- 00:20:12.187 --> 00:20:14.289
- "uh, pastor prince, uh, are you sure?"
- 00:20:14.289 --> 00:20:16.191
- Okay, since you're not convinced now,
- 00:20:16.191 --> 00:20:17.659
- You little voice of unbelief,
- 00:20:17.659 --> 00:20:19.161
- Let me show you verse 16, the context.
- 00:20:19.161 --> 00:20:22.164
- Don't take the verse out of context.
- 00:20:22.164 --> 00:20:23.532
- The context, verse 16, "when evening had come,
- 00:20:23.532 --> 00:20:25.634
- They brought to jesus many who were demon-possessed.
- 00:20:25.634 --> 00:20:28.203
- And he cast out the spirits with a word."
- 00:20:28.203 --> 00:20:31.173
- So, there's deliverance from demons.
- 00:20:31.173 --> 00:20:32.774
- "and healed all."
- 00:20:32.774 --> 00:20:35.610
- I'm so glad he healed all.
- 00:20:35.610 --> 00:20:40.315
- I wonder if people read their bibles.
- 00:20:40.315 --> 00:20:42.084
- I say, i wonder if people read their bibles.
- 00:20:42.084 --> 00:20:44.186
- He didn't heal everybody in israel.
- 00:20:44.186 --> 00:20:45.987
- He healed all who came to him. keep that in mind.
- 00:20:45.987 --> 00:20:49.925
- "healed all who are sick, that it might be fulfilled
- 00:20:49.925 --> 00:20:52.861
- Which was spoken by isaiah the prophet,
- 00:20:52.861 --> 00:20:54.496
- 'himself took our infirmities.'"
- 00:20:54.496 --> 00:20:56.665
- So it's very clear the context refers to physical diseases,
- 00:20:56.665 --> 00:20:59.534
- Physical healing.
- 00:20:59.534 --> 00:21:01.636
- Bible interpret bible, amen?
- 00:21:01.636 --> 00:21:08.510
- Wow, do you know why i'm preaching this?
- 00:21:08.510 --> 00:21:09.945
- I'm preaching this so that when your loved one
- 00:21:09.945 --> 00:21:12.280
- Or someone has been given a bad diagnosis,
- 00:21:12.280 --> 00:21:15.450
- Don't just run and take communion
- 00:21:15.450 --> 00:21:17.319
- With an empty heart, an empty revelation, empty mind.
- 00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:21.690
- Wait, listen to the sermon.
- 00:21:21.690 --> 00:21:23.859
- At the end, partake.
- 00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:26.094
- Something, something will happen because everything
- 00:21:26.094 --> 00:21:28.930
- About god's things, right, must work with faith.
- 00:21:28.930 --> 00:21:31.800
- Faith comes by hearing, hearing, hearing
- 00:21:31.800 --> 00:21:34.136
- By the word of christ.
- 00:21:34.136 --> 00:21:35.570
- Are you listening, people, amen?
- 00:21:35.570 --> 00:21:38.774
- You know, everything happened because of man's sin.
- 00:21:38.774 --> 00:21:41.443
- I'm bringing this to a close.
- 00:21:41.443 --> 00:21:42.778
- Everything happened because of men's sin.
- 00:21:42.778 --> 00:21:44.780
- Men ate from the tree he shouldn't.
- 00:21:44.780 --> 00:21:46.782
- Guess what?
- 00:21:46.782 --> 00:21:48.116
- God says eat your way back into the blessings.
- 00:21:48.116 --> 00:21:50.318
- Eat your way back into the blessings.
- 00:21:50.318 --> 00:21:52.821
- Are you listening? by the body of jesus.
- 00:21:52.821 --> 00:21:55.490
- It might be the body of jesus.
- 00:21:55.490 --> 00:21:58.760
- Remember the disciples in luke 24?
- 00:21:58.760 --> 00:22:01.530
- I told you, right? did i give you luke 24?
- 00:22:01.530 --> 00:22:04.099
- I didn't?
- 00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:05.667
- I didn't give you luke 24?
- 00:22:05.667 --> 00:22:07.369
- Real fast, okay, luke 24, when jesus rose from the dead,
- 00:22:07.369 --> 00:22:09.571
- Same day, real fast, okay?
- 00:22:09.571 --> 00:22:11.273
- I cannot afford to give you this and then give another service,
- 00:22:11.273 --> 00:22:14.576
- All right, y'all will come back.
- 00:22:14.576 --> 00:22:16.111
- Luke 24, real quick, "now it came to pass,
- 00:22:16.111 --> 00:22:18.380
- As jesus sat at the table with them, he took bread."
- 00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:20.248
- Now, this is after he rose from the dead,
- 00:22:20.248 --> 00:22:21.850
- The same evening, the same evening
- 00:22:21.850 --> 00:22:24.286
- After he rose from the dead.
- 00:22:24.286 --> 00:22:26.354
- He's at the place called emmaus with the two disciples,
- 00:22:26.354 --> 00:22:28.323
- I believe husband and wife, all right?
- 00:22:28.323 --> 00:22:30.325
- And he took the place of the divine host.
- 00:22:30.325 --> 00:22:32.594
- He played the host.
- 00:22:32.594 --> 00:22:33.929
- "he took the bread, he blessed, broke it,
- 00:22:33.929 --> 00:22:36.231
- Gave it to them.
- 00:22:36.231 --> 00:22:37.566
- Their eyes were opened, and they knew him;
- 00:22:37.566 --> 00:22:40.035
- And he vanished from their sight."
- 00:22:40.035 --> 00:22:42.938
- When did they-- their eyes opened?
- 00:22:42.938 --> 00:22:46.141
- When did they know him?
- 00:22:46.141 --> 00:22:48.777
- When he broke the bread.
- 00:22:48.777 --> 00:22:53.982
- Can i submit to you, communion is the tree of life.
- 00:22:53.982 --> 00:22:58.753
- He is your righteousness, he is your righteousness,
- 00:22:58.753 --> 00:23:01.523
- He is your holiness.
- 00:23:01.523 --> 00:23:04.526
- Are you blessed? are you blessed?
- 00:23:04.526 --> 00:23:07.796
- You know, this is the restoration part,
- 00:23:07.796 --> 00:23:09.564
- And then you know what happened?
- 00:23:09.564 --> 00:23:10.899
- He disappeared.
- 00:23:10.899 --> 00:23:12.234
- By the way, he disappeared, that doesn't mean he left them.
- 00:23:12.234 --> 00:23:13.702
- He vanished out of their sight, he was still there,
- 00:23:13.702 --> 00:23:15.036
- He'll never leave them.
- 00:23:15.036 --> 00:23:17.005
- They walked back 7 miles.
- 00:23:17.005 --> 00:23:19.207
- They just walked 7 miles,
- 00:23:19.207 --> 00:23:20.542
- But after communion, they can walk 7 miles again.
- 00:23:20.542 --> 00:23:23.411
- They went back to find the other disciples
- 00:23:23.411 --> 00:23:24.846
- And say, "hey, hey, we saw the lord,
- 00:23:24.846 --> 00:23:26.615
- We saw the lord."
- 00:23:26.615 --> 00:23:27.949
- Let's follow the story there.
- 00:23:27.949 --> 00:23:29.284
- "and they told about the things that had happened
- 00:23:29.284 --> 00:23:30.619
- On the road and how he was known to them,"
- 00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:32.554
- How he was known to them, "in the breaking of bread."
- 00:23:32.554 --> 00:23:35.590
- He told the rest. now watch this.
- 00:23:35.590 --> 00:23:37.893
- "now as they said these things,"
- 00:23:37.893 --> 00:23:41.129
- About the breaking of bread, "jesus himself stood
- 00:23:41.129 --> 00:23:43.431
- In the midst of them, and said to them, 'shalom.'"
- 00:23:43.431 --> 00:23:48.136
- When they were talking about the breaking of bread,
- 00:23:48.136 --> 00:23:49.938
- The lord loves it.
- 00:23:49.938 --> 00:23:52.507
- That's why he's showing up even now, amen?
- 00:23:52.507 --> 00:23:56.678
- As they spoke about the breaking of bread,
- 00:23:56.678 --> 00:23:59.214
