- 00:00:40.215 --> 00:00:43.519
- I want to speak to you straight from my heart.
- 00:00:43.519 --> 00:00:45.921
- It's been a year filled with so much noise,
- 00:00:45.921 --> 00:00:47.890
- Change, and uncertainty.
- 00:00:47.890 --> 00:00:50.392
- And maybe for you it's been a year
- 00:00:50.392 --> 00:00:51.793
- Of deep personal challenges too.
- 00:00:51.793 --> 00:00:54.496
- But in the midst of it all,
- 00:00:54.496 --> 00:00:55.964
- Here's what i want you to hold on to:
- 00:00:55.964 --> 00:00:58.133
- The lord jesus has not changed and neither has our calling
- 00:00:58.133 --> 00:01:02.771
- To bring his life-saving, heart-healing,
- 00:01:02.771 --> 00:01:05.374
- Peace-giving gospel to a world that desperately needs him.
- 00:01:05.374 --> 00:01:09.044
- After all these years,
- 00:01:09.044 --> 00:01:10.479
- By god's grace and with your faithful support,
- 00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:13.315
- This ministry has endeavored to lift up the name of jesus
- 00:01:13.315 --> 00:01:16.451
- Through our broadcasts, digital outreach,
- 00:01:16.451 --> 00:01:19.354
- And every open door the lord provides.
- 00:01:19.354 --> 00:01:21.890
- And even though the world keeps shifting,
- 00:01:21.890 --> 00:01:23.959
- One thing remains true: people still need jesus.
- 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:28.430
- They need to know there is a savior who still heals,
- 00:01:28.430 --> 00:01:31.400
- Still restores, still provides, and still protects.
- 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:36.171
- So as we step into 2026,
- 00:01:36.171 --> 00:01:38.574
- I invite you to shine that light with us.
- 00:01:38.574 --> 00:01:42.044
- Let's believe bigger. let's build together.
- 00:01:42.044 --> 00:01:45.347
- Your generosity helps someone else experience
- 00:01:45.347 --> 00:01:48.817
- The same jesus who changed your life.
- 00:01:48.817 --> 00:01:52.421
- So i pray that you will give as the lord puts in your heart.
- 00:01:52.421 --> 00:01:56.491
- Wendy and i are praying you will walk into the new year
- 00:01:56.491 --> 00:01:59.061
- With fresh grace, peace,
- 00:01:59.061 --> 00:02:01.597
- And every good thing the lord has in store for you.
- 00:02:01.597 --> 00:02:04.833
- God bless you and your family always.
- 00:02:04.833 --> 00:02:08.303
- Joseph prince: the biggest problem
- 00:02:10.906 --> 00:02:12.241
- With all of us
- 00:02:12.241 --> 00:02:13.575
- Is that why are we so easily conscious of ourselves,
- 00:02:13.575 --> 00:02:16.578
- Shy, angry, bitter,
- 00:02:16.578 --> 00:02:20.315
- Feel that we have an enti-- a sense of entitlement?
- 00:02:20.315 --> 00:02:23.785
- Why do we--you know why? we are too self-occupied.
- 00:02:23.785 --> 00:02:27.055
- We get hurt because we are too self-occupied.
- 00:02:27.055 --> 00:02:31.260
- We don't know how to set ourself free.
- 00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:33.795
- We think about ourselves all the time.
- 00:02:33.795 --> 00:02:35.597
- Every little pain, every little discomfort
- 00:02:35.597 --> 00:02:37.933
- In our mind, in our thoughts, and all that
- 00:02:37.933 --> 00:02:40.035
- Shows that we are very self-occupied.
- 00:02:40.035 --> 00:02:43.005
- And the whole purpose of the bible
- 00:02:43.005 --> 00:02:44.373
- Is to free you from that
- 00:02:44.373 --> 00:02:47.676
- And to keep you occupied with christ,
- 00:02:47.676 --> 00:02:50.212
- His beauty and glory.
- 00:02:50.212 --> 00:02:51.546
- Joseph prince: when you're not under law, there's no--
- 00:02:51.546 --> 00:02:52.881
- You find that sin becomes unattractive
- 00:02:52.881 --> 00:02:56.518

- Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
- 00:04:02.017 --> 00:04:04.386
- With today's program.
- 00:04:04.386 --> 00:04:05.721
- Joseph prince: there is a psalmist,
- 00:04:05.721 --> 00:04:07.055
- And he's longing for this,
- 00:04:07.055 --> 00:04:08.390
- And there's something that's on my heart
- 00:04:08.390 --> 00:04:09.725
- I want to share with all of you.
- 00:04:09.725 --> 00:04:11.059
- I endeavor to speak what god wants said
- 00:04:11.059 --> 00:04:14.262
- In every service, okay?
- 00:04:14.262 --> 00:04:16.465
- That's called the rhema. in greek, rhema.
- 00:04:16.465 --> 00:04:18.667
- Rhema is not logos.
- 00:04:18.667 --> 00:04:20.268
- Logos is the general purpose and plan of god.
- 00:04:20.268 --> 00:04:23.372
- Like, the whole bible is a collection of the logos,
- 00:04:23.372 --> 00:04:26.174
- But it is also rhema in it.
- 00:04:26.174 --> 00:04:29.010
- And what we want every day of our life
- 00:04:29.010 --> 00:04:31.747
- Is one rhema, amen?
- 00:04:31.747 --> 00:04:33.782
- Jeremiah says it like this: "thy words," plural,
- 00:04:33.782 --> 00:04:36.618
- "were found, and i eat them," i enjoy them, "and thy word--"
- 00:04:36.618 --> 00:04:41.356
- Out of that, there's a word that comes out, amen.
- 00:04:41.356 --> 00:04:44.059
- It's like, it arrests you, you know?
- 00:04:44.059 --> 00:04:46.228
- When you're reading it, it arrests you.
- 00:04:46.228 --> 00:04:47.729
- It says "read me again and again."
- 00:04:47.729 --> 00:04:50.232
- It's like a word that lights up like the urim and thummim.
- 00:04:50.232 --> 00:04:53.235
- And then it arrests you.
- 00:04:53.235 --> 00:04:54.569
- Now, that's the word that god has for you.
- 00:04:54.569 --> 00:04:55.904
- It's the rhema word that god has for you
- 00:04:55.904 --> 00:04:58.273
- For that day.
- 00:04:58.273 --> 00:04:59.608
- Remember philip?
- 00:04:59.608 --> 00:05:02.077
- He was sent to the eunuch from ethiopia.
- 00:05:02.077 --> 00:05:05.781
- And the eunuch is actually a man of great authority,
- 00:05:05.781 --> 00:05:09.050
- Not just authority--
- 00:05:09.050 --> 00:05:10.385
- The hebrew bible says "great authority"--
- 00:05:10.385 --> 00:05:12.854
- Who has charge of candace,
- 00:05:12.854 --> 00:05:14.890
- The queen of ethiopia's treasure.
- 00:05:14.890 --> 00:05:17.759
- And she is a con-- i mean, he is a convert.
- 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.128
- So he was on his way back,
- 00:05:20.128 --> 00:05:21.463
- And he has a scroll of the book of isaiah.
- 00:05:21.463 --> 00:05:23.265
- Now, in those days, you know, the bible is in scrolls,
- 00:05:23.265 --> 00:05:27.636
- And the scrolls are in the synagogues,
- 00:05:27.636 --> 00:05:29.404
- Or in the temple.
- 00:05:29.404 --> 00:05:32.641
- I mean, you can't just get a scroll like the bible
- 00:05:32.641 --> 00:05:34.876
- We have today.
- 00:05:34.876 --> 00:05:36.578
- Let's not take it for granted.
- 00:05:36.578 --> 00:05:38.113
- It takes a very wealthy person to purchase a scroll.
- 00:05:38.113 --> 00:05:42.050
- So, obviously, he has a scroll, and he was in his chariot,
- 00:05:42.050 --> 00:05:46.021
- And of course he has people, his servants,
- 00:05:46.021 --> 00:05:47.923
- To drive him and all that.
- 00:05:47.923 --> 00:05:50.325
- He was reading the book of isaiah,
- 00:05:50.325 --> 00:05:51.760
- And he came to the portion in isaiah 53 in our bible.
- 00:05:51.760 --> 00:05:55.630
- His was a scroll. he has to unscroll to read.
- 00:05:55.630 --> 00:05:58.934
- And he came to the part where it says,
- 00:05:58.934 --> 00:06:00.669
- "surely he has borne our diseases
- 00:06:00.669 --> 00:06:02.838
- And carried our pains,
- 00:06:02.838 --> 00:06:04.739
- And the chastisement of our peace was upon him.
- 00:06:04.739 --> 00:06:06.808
- With his stripes, we are healed.
- 00:06:06.808 --> 00:06:08.810
- He was wounded for our transgressions," right?
- 00:06:08.810 --> 00:06:11.446
- He read all that, and then he was saying to himself,
- 00:06:11.446 --> 00:06:14.483
- "who is this person?"
- 00:06:14.483 --> 00:06:16.117
- Now, at the same time, philip has been summoned by an angel
- 00:06:16.117 --> 00:06:21.289
- To go to that place.
- 00:06:21.289 --> 00:06:22.991
- So he was going south, right?
- 00:06:22.991 --> 00:06:25.427
- So the angel told philip to intercept him.
- 00:06:25.427 --> 00:06:31.733
- But watch this: he was reading.
- 00:06:31.733 --> 00:06:33.535
- Now, here's where the lord corrected me.
- 00:06:33.535 --> 00:06:35.804
- He goes, "and the lord, you know, sort of like,
- 00:06:35.804 --> 00:06:37.572
- Tell me, 'son, you must tell people also,'" right,
- 00:06:37.572 --> 00:06:41.843
- "'that they need to have a teacher
- 00:06:41.843 --> 00:06:44.546
- That god puts on their heart,'" right?
- 00:06:44.546 --> 00:06:47.082
- Usually it's your pastor, amen.
- 00:06:47.082 --> 00:06:49.985
- But there are teachers all over the world
- 00:06:49.985 --> 00:06:51.386
- That god has raised, amen.
- 00:06:51.386 --> 00:06:53.388
- But usually it's your pastor
- 00:06:53.388 --> 00:06:55.724
- Because if you listen to the rhema of the church--
- 00:06:55.724 --> 00:07:01.363
- Every church should have a rhema
- 00:07:01.363 --> 00:07:03.064
- For that particular sunday, amen?--
- 00:07:03.064 --> 00:07:05.400
- It will carry you in your specific--
- 00:07:05.400 --> 00:07:09.905
- The specificities of your life for that week, okay?
- 00:07:09.905 --> 00:07:14.743
- And what the lord said to me was this:
- 00:07:14.743 --> 00:07:16.511
- When philip came to the chariot--
- 00:07:16.511 --> 00:07:19.681
- Have you noticed that-- that the bible says--
- 00:07:19.681 --> 00:07:23.518
- Why did philip go near the chariot?
- 00:07:23.518 --> 00:07:25.620
- Read your bible.
- 00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:26.955
- It says, "then the holy spirit said to philip, join yourself
- 00:07:26.955 --> 00:07:31.960
- To this chariot."
- 00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:33.962
- Who spoke? the holy spirit.
- 00:07:33.962 --> 00:07:36.331
- "join yourself to this chariot." my question is this.
- 00:07:36.331 --> 00:07:38.300
- There are people who say, "i read the bible.
- 00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:39.634
- I just depend on the holy spirit."
- 00:07:39.634 --> 00:07:41.336
- The holy spirit uses people and uses bible teachers.
- 00:07:41.336 --> 00:07:46.908
- How many of you read portions before, right,
- 00:07:46.908 --> 00:07:50.111
- In the bible and you don't understand?
- 00:07:50.111 --> 00:07:52.113
- Then you pick up a book.
- 00:07:52.113 --> 00:07:53.782
- You listen to a message on that portion of scripture,
- 00:07:53.782 --> 00:07:57.819
- And then that person-- be honest--
- 00:07:57.819 --> 00:08:00.288
- Opens up that passage for you.
- 00:08:00.288 --> 00:08:03.291
- That's the holy spirit using that person
- 00:08:03.291 --> 00:08:05.327
- To answer your prayer, to answer your request, amen.
- 00:08:05.327 --> 00:08:09.397
- So watch this: the holy spirit did not tell the ethiopian--
- 00:08:09.397 --> 00:08:14.102
- Did not teach the ethiopian person
- 00:08:14.102 --> 00:08:15.704
- As he was reading the bible.
- 00:08:15.704 --> 00:08:17.138
- The holy spirit was there.
- 00:08:17.138 --> 00:08:19.407
- The holy spirit was there, close enough to tell philip,
- 00:08:19.407 --> 00:08:23.144
- "join yourself to this chariot,"
- 00:08:23.144 --> 00:08:25.547
- And yet the holy spirit did not tell
- 00:08:25.547 --> 00:08:27.415
- The ethiopian eunuch who the man was
- 00:08:27.415 --> 00:08:30.018
- That this passage was talking about.
- 00:08:30.018 --> 00:08:32.921
- The holy spirit could have taught him.
- 00:08:32.921 --> 00:08:35.557
- But the holy spirit told philip, "join yourself.
- 00:08:35.557 --> 00:08:39.027
- I'm gonna use you," right?
- 00:08:39.027 --> 00:08:42.897
- It's obvious. the holy spirit used philip.
- 00:08:42.897 --> 00:08:46.635
- Then philip said, "what is this you are reading?"
- 00:08:46.635 --> 00:08:49.371
- He said, "do you understand what you read?"
- 00:08:49.371 --> 00:08:51.840
- He says, "i don't understand unless someone guide me."
- 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.744
- And then philip came onto his chariot,
- 00:08:55.744 --> 00:08:58.446
- And philip expounded in the scriptures about jesus.
- 00:08:58.446 --> 00:09:03.385
- Can i have a good amen? praise the lord.
- 00:09:03.385 --> 00:09:06.788
- Are you with me so far, amen?
- 00:09:06.788 --> 00:09:08.990
- Now, you don't have to have pastor prince.
- 00:09:08.990 --> 00:09:10.392
- There are many other good bible studies around.
- 00:09:10.392 --> 00:09:13.294
- But usually you find
- 00:09:13.294 --> 00:09:14.629
- That the ones that really, really open up to you
- 00:09:14.629 --> 00:09:16.498
- Are people who are there to teach you, all right?
- 00:09:16.498 --> 00:09:19.968
- So that's something that i want you to see.
- 00:09:19.968 --> 00:09:21.703
- You know, it helps you
- 00:09:21.703 --> 00:09:23.038
- Because if you study the bible just on your own,
- 00:09:23.038 --> 00:09:25.340
- Without a guide, you tend to want to read
- 00:09:25.340 --> 00:09:27.709
- Those things that you know anyway,
- 00:09:27.709 --> 00:09:30.812
- But you want to read them, your favorite parts,
- 00:09:30.812 --> 00:09:33.548
- Whereas if there's a teacher--
- 00:09:33.548 --> 00:09:34.883
- A teacher brings you to all those places
- 00:09:34.883 --> 00:09:36.217
- And brings the gospel out of them, okay?
- 00:09:36.217 --> 00:09:38.787
- Now, this is how you look at the bible teachers.
- 00:09:38.787 --> 00:09:41.856
- One of the things i want to share with you--
- 00:09:41.856 --> 00:09:43.191
- I know i've shared this before,
- 00:09:43.191 --> 00:09:44.526
- But i'm gonna bring this in a fresh way.
- 00:09:44.526 --> 00:09:45.894
- I believe it's gonna help you.
- 00:09:45.894 --> 00:09:47.328
- Look at the emmaus road experience.
- 00:09:47.328 --> 00:09:50.198
- "now behold, two of them,"
- 00:09:50.198 --> 00:09:51.533
- On the day of jesus's resurrection.
- 00:09:51.533 --> 00:09:52.934
- When jesus rose from the dead--
- 00:09:52.934 --> 00:09:55.370
- Now imagine if you rose from the dead--
- 00:09:55.370 --> 00:09:58.406
- You just rose from the dead!
- 00:09:58.406 --> 00:10:01.309
- What is your priority, huh?
- 00:10:01.309 --> 00:10:05.380
- "i'm gonna walk with two persons who are discouraged."
- 00:10:05.380 --> 00:10:08.817
- That's what his--the same day.
- 00:10:08.817 --> 00:10:11.152
- "behold, two of them were traveling that same day."
- 00:10:11.152 --> 00:10:13.755
- If you read the verses before this,
- 00:10:13.755 --> 00:10:15.290
- It's the same day jesus rose from the dead, amen?
- 00:10:15.290 --> 00:10:20.161
- So they were traveling to a village called emmaus.
- 00:10:20.161 --> 00:10:22.430
- Emmaus means warm bath, like a sauna.
- 00:10:22.430 --> 00:10:25.867
- Warm bath, all right?
- 00:10:25.867 --> 00:10:27.869
- "which was seven miles from jerusalem.
- 00:10:27.869 --> 00:10:30.071
- And they talked together of all these things
- 00:10:30.071 --> 00:10:32.474
- Which had happened."
- 00:10:32.474 --> 00:10:33.808
- By the way, they have just uncovered the emmaus--
- 00:10:33.808 --> 00:10:36.244
- There are a few contenders of emmaus,
- 00:10:36.244 --> 00:10:38.980
- But the emmaus of 7 miles have been uncovered.
- 00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:43.051
- Josephus actually talked about it,
- 00:10:43.051 --> 00:10:44.686
- And it's exactly 7 miles, okay?
- 00:10:44.686 --> 00:10:47.155
- "and they talked together of all these things
- 00:10:47.155 --> 00:10:48.656
- Which had happened,"
- 00:10:48.656 --> 00:10:49.991
- Most likely husband and wife, okay?
- 00:10:49.991 --> 00:10:52.026
- And they were walking on the day of resurrection,
- 00:10:52.026 --> 00:10:54.829
- And they were talking about what had happened.
- 00:10:54.829 --> 00:10:56.397
- And the bible says,
- 00:10:56.397 --> 00:10:57.799
- "it was while they conversed and reasoned,
- 00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.667
- That jesus himself drew near and went with them."
- 00:10:59.667 --> 00:11:04.038
- He rose from the dead just a few hours ago
- 00:11:04.038 --> 00:11:07.642
- In the morning!
- 00:11:07.642 --> 00:11:08.977
- What is he doing, doing something so commonplace,
- 00:11:08.977 --> 00:11:13.715
- So homely, so ordinary, walking?
- 00:11:13.715 --> 00:11:18.319
- He joined them.
- 00:11:18.319 --> 00:11:19.854
- He listened to them and he walked with them.
- 00:11:19.854 --> 00:11:22.090
- They're just talking about what happened
- 00:11:22.090 --> 00:11:24.993
- For the past few days--
- 00:11:24.993 --> 00:11:26.828
- Obviously about jesus, the cross, the crucifixion.
- 00:11:26.828 --> 00:11:30.532
- Amen?
- 00:11:30.532 --> 00:11:31.866
- And on that day itself, the resurrection,
- 00:11:31.866 --> 00:11:33.201
- They heard some women coming from the tomb,
- 00:11:33.201 --> 00:11:36.137
- Saying that they didn't find the body and all that,
- 00:11:36.137 --> 00:11:38.439
- And they are discussing it with one another.
- 00:11:38.439 --> 00:11:41.209
- And jesus joined them. so ordinary.
- 00:11:41.209 --> 00:11:44.145
- What is more commonplace than having fellowship
- 00:11:44.145 --> 00:11:47.348
- With someone over at coffee?
- 00:11:47.348 --> 00:11:48.883
- And all of a sudden, you know, someone else comes and join you
- 00:11:48.883 --> 00:11:51.519
- At the table.
- 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.854
- Doesn't he have more important things to do?
- 00:11:52.854 --> 00:11:56.124
- No, he just walked with two discouraged disciples,
- 00:11:56.124 --> 00:12:00.228
- His own disciples.
- 00:12:00.228 --> 00:12:01.729
- And then the bible says, "their eyes were restrained,
- 00:12:01.729 --> 00:12:04.199
- So that they did not know him."
- 00:12:04.199 --> 00:12:05.533
- Now i'm gonna--some of you heard me share this already.
- 00:12:05.533 --> 00:12:07.202
- So i'm gonna tell you this: for years--
- 00:12:07.202 --> 00:12:09.804
- I don't know why some things in the bible
- 00:12:09.804 --> 00:12:11.606
- But, you know, gets me, you know?
- 00:12:11.606 --> 00:12:12.974
- Like, some people don't even bother to find out.
- 00:12:12.974 --> 00:12:15.243
- For me, i cannot... i cannot take it.
- 00:12:15.243 --> 00:12:19.147
- I must find out why their eyes were restrained.
- 00:12:19.147 --> 00:12:21.883
- Why would jesus want to restrain their eyes
- 00:12:21.883 --> 00:12:24.452
- So that they don't recognize him, right?
- 00:12:24.452 --> 00:12:27.922
- So i looked up many commentaries.
- 00:12:27.922 --> 00:12:30.158
- And the commentaries, many of them,
- 00:12:30.158 --> 00:12:31.492
- They just skip this part.
- 00:12:31.492 --> 00:12:33.628
- They don't even explain,
- 00:12:33.628 --> 00:12:34.963
- Or i don't find one that explain the way the lord shared with me
- 00:12:34.963 --> 00:12:42.036
- After that.
- 00:12:42.036 --> 00:12:43.371
- Now, some of you know what i'm going to share already
- 00:12:43.371 --> 00:12:45.139
- On this particular aspect.
- 00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:47.141
- He restrained their eyes.
- 00:12:47.141 --> 00:12:49.177
- That means that supernatural power
- 00:12:49.177 --> 00:12:51.579
- Kept them from seeing who he is, from recognizing him.
- 00:12:51.579 --> 00:12:56.351
- Isn't it better to show them,
- 00:12:56.351 --> 00:12:57.685
- "look, guys, the print of the nails.
- 00:12:57.685 --> 00:13:00.488
- Look at my side, the mark of a spear that pierced my side
- 00:13:00.488 --> 00:13:06.394
- So that rivers of love will flow out for you," all right?
- 00:13:06.394 --> 00:13:11.032
- He didn't show them.
- 00:13:11.032 --> 00:13:12.700
- He restrained their eyes from seeing him.
- 00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:15.536
- And then he asked them, "what kind of conversation is this
- 00:13:15.536 --> 00:13:17.805
- That you have with one another as you walk and you are sad?"
- 00:13:17.805 --> 00:13:20.875
- So they start telling him, "are you a stranger?
- 00:13:20.875 --> 00:13:24.045
- Don't you know what happened recently?"
- 00:13:24.045 --> 00:13:25.513
- And they said that "we--jesus of nazareth--
- 00:13:25.513 --> 00:13:28.850
- I mean, he does all kinds of miracles.
- 00:13:28.850 --> 00:13:30.551
- We thought--" drop down.
- 00:13:30.551 --> 00:13:33.054
- They said, "we were hoping that it was he
- 00:13:33.054 --> 00:13:35.690
- Who was going to redeem israel."
- 00:13:35.690 --> 00:13:39.427
- Now, whenever-- i'm gonna say this,
- 00:13:39.427 --> 00:13:43.665
- And this is gonna help you, okay?
- 00:13:43.665 --> 00:13:46.367
- It's really to help you.
- 00:13:46.367 --> 00:13:48.436
- The biggest problem with all of us
- 00:13:48.436 --> 00:13:49.837
- Is that why are we so easily conscious of ourselves,
- 00:13:49.837 --> 00:13:54.008
- Shy, angry, bitter,
- 00:13:54.008 --> 00:13:57.779
- Feel that we have an enti-- a sense of entitlement?
- 00:13:57.779 --> 00:14:01.282
- Why do we--you know why? we are too self-occupied.
- 00:14:01.282 --> 00:14:05.219
- We get hurt because we are too self-occupied.
- 00:14:05.219 --> 00:14:09.090
- We don't know how to set ourself free.
- 00:14:09.090 --> 00:14:11.592
- We think about ourselves all the time.
- 00:14:11.592 --> 00:14:13.361
- Every little pain, every little discomfort
- 00:14:13.361 --> 00:14:15.797
- In our mind, in our thoughts, and all that
- 00:14:15.797 --> 00:14:17.966
- Shows that we are very self-occupied.
- 00:14:17.966 --> 00:14:20.868
- And the whole purpose of the bible
- 00:14:20.868 --> 00:14:22.503
- Is to free you from that
- 00:14:22.503 --> 00:14:25.473
- And to keep you occupied with christ,
- 00:14:25.473 --> 00:14:28.176
- His beauty and glory, amen.
- 00:14:28.176 --> 00:14:32.013
- Like the woman at the well, she was self-occupied.
- 00:14:32.013 --> 00:14:35.216
- Why did she came in the afternoon,
- 00:14:35.216 --> 00:14:36.851
- In the mid-afternoon, when the sun is so hot?
- 00:14:36.851 --> 00:14:39.520
- Most women would go draw water from the well
- 00:14:39.520 --> 00:14:42.223
- Early in the morning or late in the evening.
- 00:14:42.223 --> 00:14:45.326
- But she went in the noontime, and jesus was there,
- 00:14:45.326 --> 00:14:48.062
- Sitting down after a long journey.
- 00:14:48.062 --> 00:14:50.965
- He came as a man. so he felt tired.
- 00:14:50.965 --> 00:14:53.134
- Every night, he would sleep just like all of us.
- 00:14:53.134 --> 00:14:57.005
- That's not sin. that's becoming a man, amen?
- 00:14:57.005 --> 00:15:00.975
- And the disciples had gone to buy food.
- 00:15:00.975 --> 00:15:02.877
- So the woman came in the afternoon,
- 00:15:02.877 --> 00:15:04.445
- And you know the story--
- 00:15:04.445 --> 00:15:05.780
- How he asked her for a favor, amen, and she says,
- 00:15:05.780 --> 00:15:08.249
- "how come you are a jew, you ask me?" and all that,
- 00:15:08.249 --> 00:15:10.485
- And then finally, he says, "the water that i'll give,
- 00:15:10.485 --> 00:15:12.387
- You will drink of it, you will never thirst again."
- 00:15:12.387 --> 00:15:14.355
- Then she says--"and i--" "call your husband here."
- 00:15:14.355 --> 00:15:16.557
- "i have no husband."
- 00:15:16.557 --> 00:15:17.892
- And jesus says, "you are right. you had five husbands.
- 00:15:17.892 --> 00:15:19.894
- And the one that you're living with
- 00:15:19.894 --> 00:15:21.229
- Is not your husband."
- 00:15:21.229 --> 00:15:22.563
- You see, jesus had to tell her, "i know all about you,"
- 00:15:22.563 --> 00:15:25.533
- In order to make her really feel loved.
- 00:15:25.533 --> 00:15:28.236
- Because when people think that you love them
- 00:15:28.236 --> 00:15:30.905
- But they think in their heart,
- 00:15:30.905 --> 00:15:32.240
- "you don't know who i am and what i'm hiding,"
- 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:35.143
- They don't really feel loved.
- 00:15:35.143 --> 00:15:37.045
- They think that you love the facade.
- 00:15:37.045 --> 00:15:40.248
- But jesus need to tell her, "i know all about you.
- 00:15:40.248 --> 00:15:42.750
- And i'm still here. i love you."
- 00:15:42.750 --> 00:15:45.386
- That is love.
- 00:15:45.386 --> 00:15:46.721
- He revealed himself to her as the messiah.
- 00:15:46.721 --> 00:15:49.624
- "i who speak unto you, i am he."
- 00:15:49.624 --> 00:15:53.761
- Then she knows "the messiah is talking to me.
- 00:15:53.761 --> 00:15:57.598
- Jesus, the anointed one, the promised one,"
- 00:15:57.598 --> 00:16:01.102
- Down through the pages of the bible,
- 00:16:01.102 --> 00:16:03.938
- "is now here and telling me he knows all about me
- 00:16:03.938 --> 00:16:06.641
- And he loves me."
- 00:16:06.641 --> 00:16:08.976
- This is john chapter 4.
- 00:16:08.976 --> 00:16:10.978
- John chapter 3, a ruler of the synagogue
- 00:16:10.978 --> 00:16:14.048
- Came to jesus.
- 00:16:14.048 --> 00:16:15.383
- Jesus never said, "i am the messiah," to him.
- 00:16:15.383 --> 00:16:17.685
- Jesus told him, "you know, with all your knowledge,
- 00:16:17.685 --> 00:16:20.288
- You have to be born again."
- 00:16:20.288 --> 00:16:23.891
- To her, he never used the word "born again."
- 00:16:23.891 --> 00:16:26.127
- He revealed himself to her!
- 00:16:26.127 --> 00:16:28.429
- He didn't reveal himself to the master of israel,
- 00:16:28.429 --> 00:16:31.666
- Someone who's a theologian of theologians.
- 00:16:31.666 --> 00:16:35.736
- Do you get it? he loves the lowly-hearted.
- 00:16:35.736 --> 00:16:41.242
- The only part of the law that's engraved on stones
- 00:16:41.242 --> 00:16:44.278
- Are the ten commandments.
- 00:16:44.278 --> 00:16:47.181
- And it was never designed to give you life.
- 00:16:47.181 --> 00:16:49.350
- The law was designed to make you feel like a sinner, yes,
- 00:16:49.350 --> 00:16:51.853
- But the law is until christ came,
- 00:16:51.853 --> 00:16:53.821
- The book of galatians tells us.
- 00:16:53.821 --> 00:16:55.756
- And now the holy spirit does the job, amen?
- 00:16:55.756 --> 00:17:00.595
- Are you with me so far?
- 00:17:00.595 --> 00:17:01.929
- Ah, we're coming to something very important here,
- 00:17:01.929 --> 00:17:04.432
- And we need to hear the fullness of it, okay?
- 00:17:04.432 --> 00:17:12.306
- Listen carefully.
- 00:17:12.306 --> 00:17:15.276
- Moses's face had a glory, but the glory was fading away.
- 00:17:15.276 --> 00:17:20.181
- So you know what moses did? he knew it was fading away.
- 00:17:20.181 --> 00:17:23.017
- He's a very smart pastor.
- 00:17:23.017 --> 00:17:25.253
- You know what he did? he covered his face.
- 00:17:25.253 --> 00:17:28.122
- Why did he cover his face? the bible tells us the reason.
- 00:17:28.122 --> 00:17:32.493
- He covered his face
- 00:17:32.493 --> 00:17:34.128
- Because if he didn't cover his face, the people--
- 00:17:34.128 --> 00:17:37.231
- The people saw--initially, they saw the glory in his face.
- 00:17:37.231 --> 00:17:40.434
- He covered it because the glory was passing away.
- 00:17:40.434 --> 00:17:43.971
- If the people see the glory passing away,
- 00:17:43.971 --> 00:17:45.840
- They will say, "what happened to moses?"
- 00:17:45.840 --> 00:17:47.775
- So to avoid all these things, he covered his face.
- 00:17:47.775 --> 00:17:50.578
- When he goes into the holy of holies,
- 00:17:50.578 --> 00:17:52.680
- Or rather when he goes before god,
- 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:54.916
- Before the tent of meeting, and meets god,
- 00:17:54.916 --> 00:17:57.185
- He takes it off, all right?
- 00:17:57.185 --> 00:18:00.087
- And then when he goes out to the people, he puts it on.
- 00:18:00.087 --> 00:18:03.324
- The bible says we are no more under that,
- 00:18:03.324 --> 00:18:06.194
- Because our glory is ever increasing.
- 00:18:06.194 --> 00:18:09.430
- Let me read that.
- 00:18:09.430 --> 00:18:10.765
- "how will the ministry of the spirit"--
- 00:18:10.765 --> 00:18:12.099
- That's the ministry of all of us--
- 00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:13.434
- Compared with the ministry of death?
- 00:18:13.434 --> 00:18:15.570
- Okay, can you see that? "it's more glorious."
- 00:18:15.570 --> 00:18:18.539
- If that is not enough, the next verse, it says,
- 00:18:18.539 --> 00:18:20.908
- "if the ministry of condemnation had glory."
- 00:18:20.908 --> 00:18:23.744
- Now he calls the ministry of death "condemnation."
- 00:18:23.744 --> 00:18:26.647
- What you feel all the time, you sit under this kind of ministry,
- 00:18:26.647 --> 00:18:29.050
- Will be--you feel condemned, you feel condemned,
- 00:18:29.050 --> 00:18:31.252
- You feel guilty, you feel condemned,
- 00:18:31.252 --> 00:18:32.787
- You feel condemned, you feel condemned.
- 00:18:32.787 --> 00:18:34.622
- Condemnation kills, my friend!
- 00:18:34.622 --> 00:18:40.228
- Condemnation kills.
- 00:18:40.228 --> 00:18:44.465
- "if the ministry of condemnation had glory."
- 00:18:44.465 --> 00:18:46.334
- Now, there are some revivals in the past,
- 00:18:46.334 --> 00:18:48.603
- They used condemnation a lot.
- 00:18:48.603 --> 00:18:50.371
- And still there was some glory.
- 00:18:50.371 --> 00:18:52.440
- But we haven't seen a revival
- 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:54.508
- Of the new covenant kind of revival, amen?
- 00:18:54.508 --> 00:18:57.878
- You ain't seen nothing yet, all right?
- 00:18:57.878 --> 00:18:59.747
- "if the ministry of condemnation had glory,
- 00:18:59.747 --> 00:19:02.817
- The ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory!"
- 00:19:02.817 --> 00:19:09.957
- We have not seen anything yet!
- 00:19:09.957 --> 00:19:12.994
- Imagine telling the people, "sinners, listen!
- 00:19:12.994 --> 00:19:16.297
- God is not counting your sins against you!
- 00:19:16.297 --> 00:19:18.933
- Repent, change your mind about god!
- 00:19:18.933 --> 00:19:21.869
- Come to him, not go away from him!
- 00:19:21.869 --> 00:19:24.739
- He's not counting your sins against you!
- 00:19:24.739 --> 00:19:27.108
- To wit, that god was in christ,
- 00:19:27.108 --> 00:19:28.709
- Reconciling the world unto himself,
- 00:19:28.709 --> 00:19:30.945
- Not imputing their trespasses unto them."
- 00:19:30.945 --> 00:19:34.815
- "so we, the apostles, we beseech you by the grace of god:
- 00:19:34.815 --> 00:19:40.121
- Be ye reconciled to god.
- 00:19:40.121 --> 00:19:45.993
- It's your move.
- 00:19:45.993 --> 00:19:47.528
- God is not holding anything against you.
- 00:19:47.528 --> 00:19:49.363
- All your sins are paid for in the body of his son.
- 00:19:49.363 --> 00:19:53.768
- Who is he that condemns," amen?
- 00:19:53.768 --> 00:19:57.838
- All right, the ministry of righteousness.
- 00:19:57.838 --> 00:20:01.542
- Ministry of condemnation had glory.
- 00:20:01.542 --> 00:20:03.844
- Don't ever say-- some of those revivals
- 00:20:03.844 --> 00:20:05.913
- That's based on condemnation, don't say there was no glory.
- 00:20:05.913 --> 00:20:09.350
- There's glory there. but that glory is fading away.
- 00:20:09.350 --> 00:20:13.988
- That's why many of them, the converts, don't last.
- 00:20:13.988 --> 00:20:16.324
- Many of them--that kind of revival don't last.
- 00:20:16.324 --> 00:20:19.727
- God is bringing a revolution all over the world
- 00:20:19.727 --> 00:20:24.799
- Of the new covenant, of the gospel of jesus christ.
- 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:28.869
- "the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
- 00:20:28.869 --> 00:20:36.644
- For even what was made glorious," the old covenant,
- 00:20:36.644 --> 00:20:39.513
- "had no glory in this respect,"
- 00:20:39.513 --> 00:20:41.015
- Cannot compare with the new covenant,
- 00:20:41.015 --> 00:20:43.050
- "because of the glory that excels."
- 00:20:43.050 --> 00:20:45.286
- We'll stop here.
- 00:20:45.286 --> 00:20:47.154
- And i just wanna tell you this: this whole thing has got to do--
- 00:20:47.154 --> 00:20:51.859
- Make sure you understand what is law and what is grace.
- 00:20:51.859 --> 00:20:55.863
- Does that mean that we are not under law,
- 00:20:55.863 --> 00:20:58.299
- There's license to sin?
- 00:20:58.299 --> 00:20:59.934
- That's always the fear, right?
- 00:20:59.934 --> 00:21:01.569
- That's what they accused paul of.
- 00:21:01.569 --> 00:21:03.304
- No.
- 00:21:03.304 --> 00:21:04.638
- No license, no power of sin, why?
- 00:21:04.638 --> 00:21:08.809
- The strength of sin is the law.
- 00:21:08.809 --> 00:21:10.878
- In fact, when you are not under law, there's no--
- 00:21:10.878 --> 00:21:12.747
- You find that sin becomes unattractive
- 00:21:12.747 --> 00:21:16.050
- And grace becomes attractive.
- 00:21:16.050 --> 00:21:18.552
- And you are drawn more and more to the lord.
- 00:21:18.552 --> 00:21:20.888
- And the more you are drawn to the lord,
- 00:21:20.888 --> 00:21:22.356
- The more you love the lord, you will fall out of love
- 00:21:22.356 --> 00:21:25.025
- With all these things supernaturally natural, amen.
- 00:21:25.025 --> 00:21:30.664
- People like to say, you know--
- 00:21:30.664 --> 00:21:31.999
- Those who preach grace, right, they say that you can fornicate,
- 00:21:31.999 --> 00:21:35.002
- You know, you can do whatever you want,
- 00:21:35.002 --> 00:21:36.604
- You can live like the devil, doesn't matter.
- 00:21:36.604 --> 00:21:38.639
- Grace covers it.
- 00:21:38.639 --> 00:21:40.040
- You never hear me preach this. you never hear me preach this.
- 00:21:40.040 --> 00:21:43.844
- And all my sermons are out there.
- 00:21:43.844 --> 00:21:45.613
- You never hear me preach this.
- 00:21:45.613 --> 00:21:47.348
- And be careful of people
- 00:21:47.348 --> 00:21:48.682
- Who take one portion of my sermon.
- 00:21:48.682 --> 00:21:50.351
- Listen to the whole sermon.
- 00:21:50.351 --> 00:21:53.287
- Take one, you know, bite--sound bite,
- 00:21:53.287 --> 00:21:56.524
- And then put it out there.
- 00:21:56.524 --> 00:21:58.159
- Listen to the entire thing.
- 00:21:58.159 --> 00:22:00.227
- You will never hear me say, all right,
- 00:22:00.227 --> 00:22:02.062
- "you can live in sin,
- 00:22:02.062 --> 00:22:03.397
- And then grace covers everything."
- 00:22:03.397 --> 00:22:06.901
- I don't know.
- 00:22:06.901 --> 00:22:08.235
- You wanna talk about other grace teachers
- 00:22:08.235 --> 00:22:09.570
- Who teach that?
- 00:22:09.570 --> 00:22:10.905
- Talk about them, not this house, not this house.
- 00:22:10.905 --> 00:22:14.575
- I've never preached that and i never will.
- 00:22:14.575 --> 00:22:17.611
- You know why?
- 00:22:17.611 --> 00:22:18.946
- Because sin will have no dominion over you.
- 00:22:18.946 --> 00:22:21.615
- When you are truly under grace,
- 00:22:21.615 --> 00:22:24.118
- You're conscious of his love for you,
- 00:22:24.118 --> 00:22:25.986
- Sin will lose its power.
- 00:22:25.986 --> 00:22:27.955
- That woman at the well left jesus, right?
- 00:22:27.955 --> 00:22:31.592
- And she became so bold.
- 00:22:31.592 --> 00:22:33.928
- She come--"come and see the man who told me
- 00:22:33.928 --> 00:22:35.696
- Everything about myself."
- 00:22:35.696 --> 00:22:37.131
- She didn't realize she became an evangelist, amen.
- 00:22:37.131 --> 00:22:42.203
- Amen, she was now bold. you know why?
- 00:22:42.203 --> 00:22:46.507
- "because he knows all about me and he still loves me.
- 00:22:46.507 --> 00:22:50.277
- He unveiled himself as the messiah to me."
- 00:22:50.277 --> 00:22:55.049
- And another thing-- she's no more self-occupied,
- 00:22:55.049 --> 00:22:57.852
- Going there quietly, looking around.
- 00:22:57.852 --> 00:23:00.054
- She's now bold. why?
- 00:23:00.054 --> 00:23:02.122
- She's occupied with the one,
- 00:23:02.122 --> 00:23:04.158
- The object of beauty that is lovelier
- 00:23:04.158 --> 00:23:06.026
- Than anything else on earth-- and even in heaven.
- 00:23:06.026 --> 00:23:12.666
- He is our object of beauty, amen?
- 00:23:12.666 --> 00:23:15.569
- Time's up!
- 00:23:15.569 --> 00:23:17.438
- Go back and read your bibles, amen?
- 00:23:17.438 --> 00:23:19.640
- Don't forget: law, blue color; righteousness, brown color.
- 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:26.347
- All right?
- 00:23:26.347 --> 00:23:27.681
- You choose what color you want, okay?
- 00:23:27.681 --> 00:23:29.016
- Every head bowed, every eye closed
- 00:23:29.016 --> 00:23:30.351
- All across this place, and for those who are watching,
- 00:23:30.351 --> 00:23:33.187
- I pray this has blessed you, amen.
- 00:23:33.187 --> 00:23:36.257
- And i pray that when you go home, tell god--
- 00:23:36.257 --> 00:23:40.427
- Speak love, grace to your children.
- 00:23:40.427 --> 00:23:44.598
- Don't find fault. it's very hard.
- 00:23:44.598 --> 00:23:46.901
- I'm preaching to myself. don't find fault first.
- 00:23:46.901 --> 00:23:50.971
- If really need be, save that for those--for rare occasions.
- 00:23:50.971 --> 00:23:59.113
- Let your rare occasions be to point out fault.
- 00:23:59.113 --> 00:24:03.817
- But let your default mode be that of pointing something good,
- 00:24:03.817 --> 00:24:08.956
- Something right, in your family.
- 00:24:08.956 --> 00:24:14.495
- Be patient with their shortcomings,
- 00:24:14.495 --> 00:24:18.732
- With their failures.
- 00:24:18.732 --> 00:24:22.836
- Shine at home your life and who you reflect.
- 00:24:22.836 --> 00:24:29.843
- Your radiance will speak more than all your preaching
- 00:24:29.843 --> 00:24:34.281
- To your children.
- 00:24:34.281 --> 00:24:36.283
- May your lives be a radiant light.

- Announcer: and now a closing word
- 00:25:07.047 --> 00:25:08.649
- From pastor joseph prince.
- 00:25:08.649 --> 00:25:10.351
- Joseph prince: lift your hands all across this place,
- 00:25:10.351 --> 00:25:11.885
- All you radiant people.
- 00:25:11.885 --> 00:25:14.254
- Father, in the name of jesus, i pray, lord, that you impart
- 00:25:14.254 --> 00:25:17.691
- An anointing and a wisdom for your people, lord,
- 00:25:17.691 --> 00:25:21.629
- In all the areas that we have heard
- 00:25:21.629 --> 00:25:22.963
- From your spirit today, lord, for husbands and wives,
- 00:25:22.963 --> 00:25:26.200
- Lord, to have that wisdom and the anointing, lord,
- 00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:29.370
- To flow with your spirit,
- 00:25:29.370 --> 00:25:31.271
- Not to be fault-finding all the time,
- 00:25:31.271 --> 00:25:33.340
- To have a default mode of always murmuring,
- 00:25:33.340 --> 00:25:36.176
- But to have a default mode by your spirit, lord,
- 00:25:36.176 --> 00:25:39.313
- To look for the good, to call out the good,
- 00:25:39.313 --> 00:25:42.449
- To be patient when there is a manifestation of weakness
- 00:25:42.449 --> 00:25:47.321
- In our loved ones, that you will grant us, lord,
- 00:25:47.321 --> 00:25:50.090
- That we will shine in front of them, lord,
- 00:25:50.090 --> 00:25:52.192
- That they will see jesus and be transformed.
