  • A practical guide to the holy communion."
  • 00:00:36.021 --> 00:00:38.090
  • Joseph prince: we want to be loving people, amen?
  • 00:00:41.260 --> 00:00:43.495
  • Love our families, love people around us as believers.
  • 00:00:43.495 --> 00:00:46.398
  • We are called to love, amen?
  • 00:00:46.398 --> 00:00:47.866
  • Love god most of all.
  • 00:00:47.866 --> 00:00:49.268
  • But why do we love?
  • 00:00:49.268 --> 00:00:50.602
  • We love because, now the 'cause is put at the end.
  • 00:00:50.602 --> 00:00:53.972
  • Because he first loved us.
  • 00:00:53.972 --> 00:00:56.275
  • So which one happened first?
  • 00:00:56.275 --> 00:00:58.210
  • You gotta experience god's love.
  • 00:00:58.210 --> 00:01:00.112

  • 00:01:02.047 --> 00:01:03.482
  • Your life of loving is an outcome,
  • 00:01:03.482 --> 00:01:06.051
  • Is an outflow of your life of being loved.
  • 00:01:06.051 --> 00:01:10.055
  • When you live loved, amen, always live life
  • 00:01:10.055 --> 00:01:13.725
  • Where you wake up in the morning,
  • 00:01:13.725 --> 00:01:15.060
  • Know that you are someone loved, dearly loved.
  • 00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:18.197
  • Hey, you don't serve a dead savior.
  • 00:01:18.197 --> 00:01:20.199
  • He's risen!
  • 00:01:20.199 --> 00:01:21.567
  • He's alive today, amen?
  • 00:01:21.567 --> 00:01:23.468
  • And he's with you by his holy spirit.
  • 00:01:23.468 --> 00:01:26.004
  • And one day we'll see him face to face, hallelujah.
  • 00:01:26.004 --> 00:01:29.374

  • And now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:02:09.715 --> 00:02:12.017
  • With today's program.
  • 00:02:12.017 --> 00:02:13.518
  • Joseph prince: god's truth outlasts the fact.
  • 00:02:13.518 --> 00:02:17.022
  • God's truth is forever.
  • 00:02:17.022 --> 00:02:19.424
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:02:19.424 --> 00:02:20.859
  • And once jesus died on that cross for all your sins,
  • 00:02:20.859 --> 00:02:25.264
  • Everything that is between you and god,
  • 00:02:25.264 --> 00:02:28.367
  • And i speak the barrier of sin
  • 00:02:28.367 --> 00:02:30.135
  • Because sin is what separates man from god,
  • 00:02:30.135 --> 00:02:32.170
  • Has been removed.
  • 00:02:32.170 --> 00:02:33.672
  • That is the truth, amen.
  • 00:02:33.672 --> 00:02:36.775
  • So therefore, the facts in your body, the facts that say that,
  • 00:02:36.775 --> 00:02:40.646
  • Hey, you still have sin, right?
  • 00:02:40.646 --> 00:02:43.081
  • You still have sin in your mind, in your body,
  • 00:02:43.081 --> 00:02:46.018
  • Predominantly that's where it manifests.
  • 00:02:46.018 --> 00:02:48.020
  • You still have that anger, amen.
  • 00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:50.088
  • You still have that bitterness.
  • 00:02:50.088 --> 00:02:51.990
  • But here is where a lot of scholars
  • 00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:53.992
  • May differ from what i believe
  • 00:02:53.992 --> 00:02:56.962
  • Is the word of god's teaching because they will teach like,
  • 00:02:56.962 --> 00:02:59.865
  • You still have your sinful nature.
  • 00:02:59.865 --> 00:03:03.502
  • And the niv especially talks about the flesh.
  • 00:03:03.502 --> 00:03:06.138
  • Where it says the flesh, it says sinful nature, amen?
  • 00:03:06.138 --> 00:03:10.242
  • Now how many of you know that a lot of your problems today,
  • 00:03:10.242 --> 00:03:13.211
  • Even when you sit down there, is because of your flesh.
  • 00:03:13.211 --> 00:03:18.250
  • Now is the flesh the sinful nature?
  • 00:03:18.250 --> 00:03:20.385
  • No, once upon a time, you had the sinful nature.
  • 00:03:20.385 --> 00:03:25.657
  • But once you believe on the lord jesus christ
  • 00:03:25.657 --> 00:03:27.926
  • You believe that christ died on the cross for your sins, amen.
  • 00:03:27.926 --> 00:03:31.897
  • And the divine exchange took place.
  • 00:03:31.897 --> 00:03:33.699
  • God made jesus who knew no sin, he did no sin, in him is no sin.
  • 00:03:33.699 --> 00:03:37.602
  • At the cross, god made jesus to be sin with your sins.
  • 00:03:37.602 --> 00:03:41.440
  • He bore your sins so that you
  • 00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:42.774
  • Can become the righteousness of god in him.
  • 00:03:42.774 --> 00:03:46.044
  • Jesus did not commit sin to become sin at the cross.
  • 00:03:46.044 --> 00:03:49.514
  • He carried your sins, all right?
  • 00:03:49.514 --> 00:03:51.717
  • You don't commit righteousness to become righteous, amen.
  • 00:03:51.717 --> 00:03:56.254
  • We are not saved by our works, amen?
  • 00:03:56.254 --> 00:03:58.457
  • We receive his righteousness and therefore
  • 00:03:58.457 --> 00:04:00.892
  • We are now the righteousness of god in christ.
  • 00:04:00.892 --> 00:04:03.729
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:04:03.729 --> 00:04:05.063
  • The bible says that if anyone is in christ, he's a new creature.
  • 00:04:05.063 --> 00:04:09.267
  • I say you are a new creature.
  • 00:04:09.267 --> 00:04:11.403
  • Now, turn to your neighbor and right now say,
  • 00:04:11.403 --> 00:04:13.305
  • "what a creature! you are a new creature."
  • 00:04:13.305 --> 00:04:17.843
  • That's the old king james and the new king james
  • 00:04:17.843 --> 00:04:19.711
  • For creation, new creation.
  • 00:04:19.711 --> 00:04:22.381
  • That's a nice name for a church.
  • 00:04:22.381 --> 00:04:24.249
  • New creation, amen?
  • 00:04:24.249 --> 00:04:26.084
  • If anyone is in christ, he's a new creation.
  • 00:04:26.084 --> 00:04:28.587
  • I'm so glad we chose that name.
  • 00:04:28.587 --> 00:04:30.622
  • New creation church, amen?
  • 00:04:30.622 --> 00:04:33.725
  • "therefore, if anyone is in christ, he is a new creation.
  • 00:04:33.725 --> 00:04:38.497
  • Old things are passed away.
  • 00:04:38.497 --> 00:04:39.965
  • All things have become new."
  • 00:04:39.965 --> 00:04:41.533
  • So the bible says, "if all things have become new,"
  • 00:04:41.533 --> 00:04:44.569
  • Where has it become new?
  • 00:04:44.569 --> 00:04:45.904
  • In your spirit man, amen?
  • 00:04:45.904 --> 00:04:47.806
  • One day when we see jesus face to face, we'll have a new body.
  • 00:04:47.806 --> 00:04:51.109
  • A body that will never grow old, never die.
  • 00:04:51.109 --> 00:04:53.945
  • Forever young, forever healthy, forever strong.
  • 00:04:53.945 --> 00:04:56.615
  • Forever is a very long time, my friend.
  • 00:04:56.615 --> 00:04:59.651
  • Make sure you are saved, amen.
  • 00:04:59.651 --> 00:05:02.654
  • Don't leave this to chance, hallelujah.
  • 00:05:02.654 --> 00:05:05.724
  • Once you are a believer, you are no more the old creation.
  • 00:05:05.724 --> 00:05:09.394
  • You are a brand-new creation.
  • 00:05:09.394 --> 00:05:12.197
  • But you have the flesh.
  • 00:05:12.197 --> 00:05:14.766
  • The flesh is like the lifestyle that you still have,
  • 00:05:14.766 --> 00:05:19.404
  • The bad habits and the proclivities and the,
  • 00:05:19.404 --> 00:05:23.008
  • You know, sensations even of the old sinful nature
  • 00:05:23.008 --> 00:05:28.213
  • That does not exist anymore.
  • 00:05:28.213 --> 00:05:31.683
  • But it feels so real, amen.
  • 00:05:31.683 --> 00:05:34.886
  • And your failures tell you,
  • 00:05:34.886 --> 00:05:37.289
  • "look, you are still the old sinful nature,
  • 00:05:37.289 --> 00:05:39.791
  • Nothing has changed."
  • 00:05:39.791 --> 00:05:41.393
  • Nothing could be further from the truth.
  • 00:05:41.393 --> 00:05:43.595
  • God's truth tells you.
  • 00:05:43.595 --> 00:05:44.963
  • These are just facts, right?
  • 00:05:44.963 --> 00:05:47.399
  • And those facts is that you sin.
  • 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.234
  • When you sin, we're not saying you didn't sin.
  • 00:05:49.234 --> 00:05:51.102
  • All right, you lost your temper.
  • 00:05:51.102 --> 00:05:52.471
  • You're angry with someone on the road, amen.
  • 00:05:52.471 --> 00:05:54.739
  • That's sin, amen?
  • 00:05:54.739 --> 00:05:58.143
  • So we have this problem, right?
  • 00:05:58.143 --> 00:06:00.245
  • They say that you are a new creation
  • 00:06:00.245 --> 00:06:02.180
  • But you're not a new creation.
  • 00:06:02.180 --> 00:06:03.582
  • Are you--am i righteous or not?
  • 00:06:03.582 --> 00:06:05.383
  • Yes, the bible says you are righteous in christ but, amen,
  • 00:06:05.383 --> 00:06:09.287
  • It is a position.
  • 00:06:09.287 --> 00:06:11.423
  • Okay, what talk you now?
  • 00:06:11.423 --> 00:06:12.924
  • It's a position, okay?
  • 00:06:12.924 --> 00:06:14.826
  • What you are is that you are still sinning, okay?
  • 00:06:14.826 --> 00:06:18.330
  • But your position before god is that you are righteous.
  • 00:06:18.330 --> 00:06:21.700
  • But you know something?
  • 00:06:21.700 --> 00:06:23.301
  • That's just a position.
  • 00:06:23.301 --> 00:06:24.703
  • What you need to do, what you ought to do, what you must do,
  • 00:06:24.703 --> 00:06:28.006
  • You must give, you must obey, you must forgive, you must,
  • 00:06:28.006 --> 00:06:34.346
  • You must-- and all these things are good.
  • 00:06:34.346 --> 00:06:36.314
  • Don't misunderstand.
  • 00:06:36.314 --> 00:06:37.649
  • But what is evil and what is subtle in this teaching
  • 00:06:37.649 --> 00:06:41.219
  • That has produced instead of the true holiness
  • 00:06:41.219 --> 00:06:43.488
  • And the victorious lifestyle that we believers
  • 00:06:43.488 --> 00:06:46.558
  • Are believing for, amen,
  • 00:06:46.558 --> 00:06:48.393
  • As a result, we see failure after failure after failure.
  • 00:06:48.393 --> 00:06:52.163
  • Why?
  • 00:06:52.163 --> 00:06:53.498
  • It's based on a false premise.
  • 00:06:53.498 --> 00:06:54.833
  • Listen: you don't do to become.
  • 00:06:54.833 --> 00:06:58.370
  • You already have become so that you can do.
  • 00:06:58.370 --> 00:07:05.343
  • It's something called, which one comes first?
  • 00:07:05.343 --> 00:07:08.113
  • The command, all right?
  • 00:07:08.113 --> 00:07:10.749
  • Or the become.
  • 00:07:10.749 --> 00:07:14.686
  • What--who you are.
  • 00:07:14.686 --> 00:07:16.721
  • What you do, and what you is.
  • 00:07:16.721 --> 00:07:23.361
  • You don't do to become.
  • 00:07:23.361 --> 00:07:25.797
  • You are.
  • 00:07:25.797 --> 00:07:27.399
  • Now you do what you are, amen.
  • 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.269
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:07:31.269 --> 00:07:33.538
  • Look up here in romans chapter 6.
  • 00:07:33.538 --> 00:07:35.707
  • It says, "therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body,
  • 00:07:35.707 --> 00:07:38.343
  • That you should obey it in its lust."
  • 00:07:38.343 --> 00:07:40.078
  • Now we hear this teaching very often,
  • 00:07:40.078 --> 00:07:42.213
  • Right, in the christian life.
  • 00:07:42.213 --> 00:07:44.482
  • And we hear it preached but it's a verse taken out of context.
  • 00:07:44.482 --> 00:07:49.454
  • You cannot just say, "stop sinning.
  • 00:07:49.454 --> 00:07:51.590
  • Don't let sin reign."
  • 00:07:51.590 --> 00:07:53.458
  • It's out of context.
  • 00:07:53.458 --> 00:07:54.960
  • Why?
  • 00:07:54.960 --> 00:07:56.294
  • Because, notice the word, "therefore."
  • 00:07:56.294 --> 00:07:59.064
  • Can you see the word, "therefore do not let"?
  • 00:07:59.064 --> 00:08:01.199
  • "therefore do not let"?
  • 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:02.601
  • That means that the previous verse is telling you something.
  • 00:08:02.601 --> 00:08:05.403
  • Therefore do not let.
  • 00:08:05.403 --> 00:08:07.138
  • All right, if you have a problem with watching pornography
  • 00:08:07.138 --> 00:08:10.141
  • Or you've got a problem with forgiving people
  • 00:08:10.141 --> 00:08:12.444
  • Or you're always bad-tempered or even depressed or even,
  • 00:08:12.444 --> 00:08:16.414
  • You know, you're always in a state of unbelief
  • 00:08:16.414 --> 00:08:18.249
  • Or you're very, very, you know, what you call the--
  • 00:08:18.249 --> 00:08:22.087
  • Always doubting, reasoning, second guessing.
  • 00:08:22.087 --> 00:08:25.056
  • Your life is miserable.
  • 00:08:25.056 --> 00:08:27.292
  • Sin will make you miserable.
  • 00:08:27.292 --> 00:08:29.828
  • But how do you overcome sin?
  • 00:08:29.828 --> 00:08:31.329
  • Just don't do it, lah.
  • 00:08:31.329 --> 00:08:33.965
  • That's the try harder mentality.
  • 00:08:33.965 --> 00:08:36.735
  • The bible doesn't teach that way, all right?
  • 00:08:36.735 --> 00:08:38.870
  • So i'm going to ask you again.
  • 00:08:38.870 --> 00:08:40.338
  • Class, why is the "therefore" there for?
  • 00:08:40.338 --> 00:08:45.477
  • Why?
  • 00:08:45.477 --> 00:08:46.811
  • Okay, one more time.
  • 00:08:46.811 --> 00:08:48.213
  • Why is the "therefore" there for?
  • 00:08:48.213 --> 00:08:55.286
  • Why is it there?
  • 00:08:55.286 --> 00:08:59.057
  • So you see, you cannot take the verse out of context
  • 00:08:59.057 --> 00:09:01.059
  • But people understand this verse.
  • 00:09:01.059 --> 00:09:03.161
  • Therefore, people usually don't see what god wants them to see,
  • 00:09:03.161 --> 00:09:10.535
  • The reality the way god sees it.
  • 00:09:10.535 --> 00:09:11.870
  • Therefore, "ah, just give me practical."
  • 00:09:11.870 --> 00:09:13.204
  • They love the book of james.
  • 00:09:13.204 --> 00:09:14.773
  • They say, "james is practical."
  • 00:09:14.773 --> 00:09:16.441
  • That means paul is not?
  • 00:09:16.441 --> 00:09:18.510
  • What do you mean?
  • 00:09:18.510 --> 00:09:19.944
  • Paul's letters are not?
  • 00:09:19.944 --> 00:09:21.513
  • "i don't understand this,
  • 00:09:21.513 --> 00:09:22.847
  • 'seated with christ in heavenly places, right now.'
  • 00:09:22.847 --> 00:09:24.582
  • Right now, i'm in ang mo kio.
  • 00:09:24.582 --> 00:09:26.885
  • You understand or not?
  • 00:09:26.885 --> 00:09:28.620
  • What is this 'seated with christ in heavenly places'?"
  • 00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:30.455
  • They don't see.
  • 00:09:30.455 --> 00:09:31.990
  • Their imagination don't see.
  • 00:09:31.990 --> 00:09:33.358
  • So they say that james is practical.
  • 00:09:33.358 --> 00:09:36.294
  • James talks about what to do.
  • 00:09:36.294 --> 00:09:38.163
  • Give me something to do. give me something to do.
  • 00:09:38.163 --> 00:09:41.066
  • And that's why there are people who love sermons
  • 00:09:41.066 --> 00:09:43.268
  • That tell you what to do, right?
  • 00:09:43.268 --> 00:09:46.604
  • Now, are there things to tell you what to do?
  • 00:09:46.604 --> 00:09:48.306
  • Yes, the bible is chock full of that, amen.
  • 00:09:48.306 --> 00:09:51.209
  • But when the bible teaches you something, it always tells you,
  • 00:09:51.209 --> 00:09:53.978
  • "because you have received, now--" got it?
  • 00:09:53.978 --> 00:10:01.086
  • Sometimes it put the 'cause in front.
  • 00:10:01.086 --> 00:10:05.156
  • Sometimes it put the 'cause behind.
  • 00:10:05.156 --> 00:10:07.192
  • For example, behind is like this.
  • 00:10:07.192 --> 00:10:09.160
  • We love!
  • 00:10:09.160 --> 00:10:10.695
  • We all want to love.
  • 00:10:10.695 --> 00:10:12.163
  • We want to be loving people, amen?
  • 00:10:12.163 --> 00:10:13.898
  • Love our families, love people around us as believers.
  • 00:10:13.898 --> 00:10:16.735
  • We are called to love, amen.
  • 00:10:16.735 --> 00:10:18.103
  • Love god most of all.
  • 00:10:18.103 --> 00:10:19.604
  • But why do we love?
  • 00:10:19.604 --> 00:10:21.139
  • We love because!
  • 00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:22.540
  • Now the 'cause is put at the end.
  • 00:10:22.540 --> 00:10:24.375
  • Because he first loved us.
  • 00:10:24.375 --> 00:10:26.878
  • So which one happened first?
  • 00:10:26.878 --> 00:10:28.646
  • You gotta experience god's love.
  • 00:10:28.646 --> 00:10:30.515
  • You gotta know how much god loves you.
  • 00:10:30.515 --> 00:10:32.383
  • And then you can love.
  • 00:10:32.383 --> 00:10:33.852
  • Your life of loving is an outcome,
  • 00:10:33.852 --> 00:10:36.387
  • Is an outflow of your life of being loved.
  • 00:10:36.387 --> 00:10:40.391
  • When you live loved, amen.
  • 00:10:40.391 --> 00:10:42.494
  • Always live life
  • 00:10:42.494 --> 00:10:44.129
  • When you wake up in the morning, know that you are someone loved,
  • 00:10:44.129 --> 00:10:47.132
  • Dearly loved.
  • 00:10:47.132 --> 00:10:48.733
  • And you know how god has made you holy, blameless, amen.
  • 00:10:48.733 --> 00:10:52.504
  • In other words, he has made you lovable in his sight.
  • 00:10:52.504 --> 00:10:56.541
  • You are lovable in his sight, amen.
  • 00:10:56.541 --> 00:10:59.277
  • Not based on your actions.
  • 00:10:59.277 --> 00:11:00.678
  • This is something very hard for us to do.
  • 00:11:00.678 --> 00:11:02.113
  • But back to this before we go on.
  • 00:11:02.113 --> 00:11:03.548
  • Are you all learning so far?
  • 00:11:03.548 --> 00:11:05.517
  • Mothers, are you all learning?
  • 00:11:05.517 --> 00:11:08.086
  • More than anything else,
  • 00:11:08.086 --> 00:11:09.420
  • The devil loves to attack women for some reason.
  • 00:11:09.420 --> 00:11:12.123
  • Your husband takes you for granted.
  • 00:11:12.123 --> 00:11:14.159
  • Look at that, the demons say thank you.
  • 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.294
  • Look at that, look at that, look at that.
  • 00:11:16.294 --> 00:11:18.730
  • Imagination, look at that.
  • 00:11:18.730 --> 00:11:20.265
  • See in your mind, you are not appreciated.
  • 00:11:20.265 --> 00:11:22.467
  • You are this, you are that.
  • 00:11:22.467 --> 00:11:23.802
  • So the devil attacks, especially women.
  • 00:11:23.802 --> 00:11:27.639
  • That's why the disciples were shocked
  • 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:29.641
  • When jesus looked at the woman at the well and talked to her.
  • 00:11:29.641 --> 00:11:34.145
  • Even she herself was shocked.
  • 00:11:34.145 --> 00:11:36.481
  • "why is it that you being, you know, a jew,"
  • 00:11:36.481 --> 00:11:40.451
  • She make it into a racial thing.
  • 00:11:40.451 --> 00:11:42.353
  • "you speak to me who am a samaritan."
  • 00:11:42.353 --> 00:11:44.823
  • But also the fact that she is a woman.
  • 00:11:44.823 --> 00:11:48.493
  • And the disciples were surprised.
  • 00:11:48.493 --> 00:11:49.994
  • They themselves, they are jewish.
  • 00:11:49.994 --> 00:11:51.529
  • And they are surprised that jesus is talking to the woman.
  • 00:11:51.529 --> 00:11:54.032
  • And this woman had five husbands.
  • 00:11:54.032 --> 00:11:56.301
  • Five!
  • 00:11:56.301 --> 00:11:57.869
  • That poor woman is suffering.
  • 00:11:57.869 --> 00:12:00.305
  • But for the religious mentality, "ah, she's terrible.
  • 00:12:00.305 --> 00:12:04.042
  • How can she do that?"
  • 00:12:04.042 --> 00:12:05.510
  • She's looking for love in all the wrong places.
  • 00:12:05.510 --> 00:12:07.512
  • So she had five husbands and then jesus told her,
  • 00:12:07.512 --> 00:12:09.881
  • "the one that you are living with," so there's a sixth man.
  • 00:12:09.881 --> 00:12:13.151
  • So she had five husbands, that mean what?
  • 00:12:13.151 --> 00:12:14.686
  • All divorced, right?
  • 00:12:14.686 --> 00:12:17.188
  • So the one that you're living with now, that is not married,
  • 00:12:17.188 --> 00:12:20.158
  • That you are not married to.
  • 00:12:20.158 --> 00:12:21.492
  • The one that you are living with now is not your husband.
  • 00:12:21.492 --> 00:12:24.529
  • That means she is living now with the sixth man in adultery.
  • 00:12:24.529 --> 00:12:29.834
  • So jesus did not say,
  • 00:12:29.834 --> 00:12:31.636
  • "ah, this woman is terrible, i won't talk to her.
  • 00:12:31.636 --> 00:12:33.371
  • I'll bypass her.
  • 00:12:33.371 --> 00:12:34.873
  • Like the pharisees, like the sadducees."
  • 00:12:34.873 --> 00:12:36.441
  • No, he took time to talk to her.
  • 00:12:36.441 --> 00:12:42.247
  • "so the one that you are living with, the sixth one,
  • 00:12:42.247 --> 00:12:44.515
  • Is not your husband."
  • 00:12:44.515 --> 00:12:46.050
  • Then he says--she asked, "who is the one?"
  • 00:12:46.050 --> 00:12:48.887
  • Later on he says, "but the messiah will come," right?
  • 00:12:48.887 --> 00:12:51.489
  • She said, "and will teach me all things."
  • 00:12:51.489 --> 00:12:53.858
  • Jesus says, "i who speak unto you, i am he," seventh man.
  • 00:12:53.858 --> 00:12:59.998
  • And her rest is found in the seventh man.
  • 00:12:59.998 --> 00:13:04.869
  • She's finally fulfilled.
  • 00:13:04.869 --> 00:13:06.537
  • That is the living water.
  • 00:13:06.537 --> 00:13:08.406
  • The seventh man gives you water that will quench you.
  • 00:13:08.406 --> 00:13:11.776
  • No one else can give you that kind of water.
  • 00:13:11.776 --> 00:13:14.178
  • And her journey came to an end all these years, amen.
  • 00:13:14.178 --> 00:13:19.083
  • So jesus would treat men and women,
  • 00:13:19.083 --> 00:13:21.819
  • Even those who are social outcasts, with respect.
  • 00:13:21.819 --> 00:13:25.890
  • He calls them by name.
  • 00:13:25.890 --> 00:13:27.325
  • There's a guy, if you talk about social outcasts,
  • 00:13:27.325 --> 00:13:29.427
  • It is zacchaeus.
  • 00:13:29.427 --> 00:13:31.162
  • Because zacchaeus collects taxes.
  • 00:13:31.162 --> 00:13:32.797
  • He's a tax collector.
  • 00:13:32.797 --> 00:13:34.165
  • Collects taxes for a country that israel
  • 00:13:34.165 --> 00:13:36.901
  • At that time was under.
  • 00:13:36.901 --> 00:13:38.770
  • The romans, amen?
  • 00:13:38.770 --> 00:13:40.138
  • So he lived a high life, amen.
  • 00:13:40.138 --> 00:13:43.775
  • And he can collect as much money as he want.
  • 00:13:43.775 --> 00:13:45.543
  • Even some extra for himself.
  • 00:13:45.543 --> 00:13:47.345
  • So the people of that day hated the tax collectors.
  • 00:13:47.345 --> 00:13:51.783
  • When jesus saw him up on the tree,
  • 00:13:51.783 --> 00:13:55.420
  • When jesus passed by in jericho, what did jesus say?
  • 00:13:55.420 --> 00:13:59.757
  • "zacchaeus!"
  • 00:13:59.757 --> 00:14:01.092
  • Don't forget, a crowd was around jesus.
  • 00:14:01.092 --> 00:14:02.860
  • Many of them would love for jesus to call their name.
  • 00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:06.698
  • Wouldn't you?
  • 00:14:06.698 --> 00:14:08.399
  • None of them had the honor except for a person
  • 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:11.402
  • Who is a social outcast.
  • 00:14:11.402 --> 00:14:13.705
  • "zacchaeus!
  • 00:14:13.705 --> 00:14:15.340
  • Come down, i must eat at your house."
  • 00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:19.777
  • "i must eat at your house,"
  • 00:14:19.777 --> 00:14:21.446
  • A necessity just like the woman at the well.
  • 00:14:21.446 --> 00:14:23.414
  • The bible says there's another way of going by-pass.
  • 00:14:23.414 --> 00:14:26.050
  • Most jewish people by-pass the city of samaria
  • 00:14:26.050 --> 00:14:29.687
  • Because they don't like the samaritans, all right?
  • 00:14:29.687 --> 00:14:32.423
  • So they by-pass the city of samaria.
  • 00:14:32.423 --> 00:14:34.125
  • The bible says jesus must needs--
  • 00:14:34.125 --> 00:14:36.427
  • Must needs go through samaria.
  • 00:14:36.427 --> 00:14:39.630
  • It is not a must of geographical necessity.
  • 00:14:39.630 --> 00:14:45.903
  • It is not a must of convenience because they have to eat.
  • 00:14:45.903 --> 00:14:51.542
  • Jews don't want to go through samaria.
  • 00:14:51.542 --> 00:14:53.344
  • Jesus must go through.
  • 00:14:53.344 --> 00:14:55.313
  • Why?
  • 00:14:55.313 --> 00:14:56.647
  • For one, just for one.
  • 00:14:56.647 --> 00:14:59.317
  • He'll do the same for you.
  • 00:14:59.317 --> 00:15:00.818
  • He doesn't treat you like a crowd, you know,
  • 00:15:00.818 --> 00:15:02.587
  • In a face in a crowd.
  • 00:15:02.587 --> 00:15:03.955
  • He treats you, he knows what you're going through,
  • 00:15:03.955 --> 00:15:05.456
  • And he loves you.
  • 00:15:05.456 --> 00:15:07.058
  • Hey, you don't serve a dead savior.
  • 00:15:07.058 --> 00:15:09.093
  • He's risen!
  • 00:15:09.093 --> 00:15:10.628
  • He's alive today, amen?
  • 00:15:10.628 --> 00:15:12.363
  • And he's with you by his holy spirit.
  • 00:15:12.363 --> 00:15:14.499
  • And one day we'll see him face to face, hallelujah.
  • 00:15:14.499 --> 00:15:18.269
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:15:18.269 --> 00:15:19.604
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:15:19.604 --> 00:15:20.938
  • Are you learning this?
  • 00:15:20.938 --> 00:15:22.273
  • So just to say, don't sin, don't sin, don't sin.
  • 00:15:22.273 --> 00:15:24.342
  • No, that's not the language of the bible.
  • 00:15:24.342 --> 00:15:26.644
  • The bible says, "therefore do not sin."
  • 00:15:26.644 --> 00:15:28.746
  • So what is that?
  • 00:15:28.746 --> 00:15:30.081
  • Why is the "therefore" there for?
  • 00:15:30.081 --> 00:15:31.449
  • Always find out why the "therefore" is there for
  • 00:15:31.449 --> 00:15:32.884
  • And you will find the secret for the "therefore."
  • 00:15:32.884 --> 00:15:36.020
  • "therefore do not let sin," okay?
  • 00:15:36.020 --> 00:15:38.089
  • Don't forget.
  • 00:15:38.089 --> 00:15:39.424
  • That's the idea here.
  • 00:15:39.424 --> 00:15:40.758
  • But look at the context.
  • 00:15:40.758 --> 00:15:42.093
  • Then we come to verse 9: "knowing that christ,
  • 00:15:42.093 --> 00:15:44.395
  • Having been raised from the dead, dies no more.
  • 00:15:44.395 --> 00:15:47.465
  • Death no longer has dominion over him."
  • 00:15:47.465 --> 00:15:50.001
  • How many agree that jesus, once he's risen from the dead,
  • 00:15:50.001 --> 00:15:53.571
  • Death is behind him.
  • 00:15:53.571 --> 00:15:55.039
  • Death no more has power over him?
  • 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.308
  • For the death that he died, he died to sin once for all.
  • 00:15:57.308 --> 00:16:00.778
  • "hapax" in the greek means once and for all.
  • 00:16:00.778 --> 00:16:03.714
  • So in the death that he died, he died to sin.
  • 00:16:03.714 --> 00:16:07.351
  • How long did he die to sin?
  • 00:16:07.351 --> 00:16:08.786
  • Did jesus die to sin gradually or once and for all?
  • 00:16:08.786 --> 00:16:13.958
  • Once and for all.
  • 00:16:13.958 --> 00:16:15.293
  • It's in the past, folks, all right?
  • 00:16:15.293 --> 00:16:17.528
  • When you come to church, remember this.
  • 00:16:17.528 --> 00:16:19.564
  • Bring along your brain, okay?
  • 00:16:19.564 --> 00:16:24.135
  • We want to reason as well, okay?
  • 00:16:24.135 --> 00:16:26.704
  • In fact, i want to talk about the two parts
  • 00:16:26.704 --> 00:16:28.406
  • Of your brain today, if i have time.
  • 00:16:28.406 --> 00:16:30.475
  • And it's very interesting.
  • 00:16:30.475 --> 00:16:31.809
  • But bring along your understanding part, amen,
  • 00:16:31.809 --> 00:16:35.613
  • The logical part.
  • 00:16:35.613 --> 00:16:37.348
  • But that's not how we live life with god.
  • 00:16:37.348 --> 00:16:39.650
  • We live—okay, i'm getting ahead of myself but listen, church,
  • 00:16:39.650 --> 00:16:44.622
  • Jesus died to sin once and for all, not gradually.
  • 00:16:44.622 --> 00:16:47.425
  • This idea of like, we are all dying to sin slowly.
  • 00:16:47.425 --> 00:16:51.028
  • Every day, we should be dying more and more to sin.
  • 00:16:51.028 --> 00:16:53.231
  • It's not in the bible.
  • 00:16:53.231 --> 00:16:55.366
  • The bible says, watch this now, jesus died to sin, what?
  • 00:16:55.366 --> 00:16:58.102
  • Once and for all!
  • 00:16:58.102 --> 00:17:00.705
  • There's not going to be a future repeat, okay?
  • 00:17:00.705 --> 00:17:04.008
  • Now, "he's talking about jesus, pastor?"
  • 00:17:04.008 --> 00:17:05.743
  • Yeah, he's talking about jesus, i agree.
  • 00:17:05.743 --> 00:17:07.078
  • "for the death that he died, he died to sin once and for all;
  • 00:17:07.078 --> 00:17:11.849
  • But the life that he lives, he lives to god."
  • 00:17:11.849 --> 00:17:15.553
  • So death is behind him.
  • 00:17:15.553 --> 00:17:17.188
  • Now he lives his life to god.
  • 00:17:17.188 --> 00:17:18.856
  • Look at verse 11: "likewise, you also reckon yourself
  • 00:17:18.856 --> 00:17:23.594
  • To be dead indeed to sin,
  • 00:17:23.594 --> 00:17:25.596
  • But alive to god in christ jesus our lord," hallelujah.
  • 00:17:25.596 --> 00:17:29.333
  • "likewise, the way jesus died to sin," how did he die to sin?
  • 00:17:29.333 --> 00:17:32.737
  • Gradually?
  • 00:17:32.737 --> 00:17:34.071
  • No, once and for all.
  • 00:17:34.071 --> 00:17:35.439
  • Done deal, amen.
  • 00:17:35.439 --> 00:17:37.108
  • "likewise, you yourself reckon."
  • 00:17:37.108 --> 00:17:39.610
  • The word "reckon" is a accounting term to say,
  • 00:17:39.610 --> 00:17:42.880
  • As the facts are, all right?
  • 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.349
  • Esteem it, account it, according to the facts.
  • 00:17:45.349 --> 00:17:48.753
  • For example, if you have $1000 in the bank, you must esteem,
  • 00:17:48.753 --> 00:17:53.457
  • Reckon, you have $1000 in the bank.
  • 00:17:53.457 --> 00:17:57.528
  • Now you're reckoning that you have $1000 in the bank,
  • 00:17:57.528 --> 00:18:01.265
  • Don't put $1000 in the bank.
  • 00:18:01.265 --> 00:18:03.467
  • Let's say it's 0.
  • 00:18:03.467 --> 00:18:04.802
  • I reckon i have $1000.
  • 00:18:04.802 --> 00:18:06.704
  • Then, boom, $1000 happens.
  • 00:18:06.704 --> 00:18:09.173
  • A lot of people think faith is like that.
  • 00:18:09.173 --> 00:18:10.775
  • No, faith is not seeing what you have
  • 00:18:10.775 --> 00:18:14.946
  • But god says you have it, amen?
  • 00:18:14.946 --> 00:18:17.515
  • Then you agree with god.
  • 00:18:17.515 --> 00:18:18.883
  • You reckon that god, whatever god says that you have,
  • 00:18:18.883 --> 00:18:21.986
  • You have.
  • 00:18:21.986 --> 00:18:24.155
  • That's reckon.
  • 00:18:24.155 --> 00:18:25.489
  • It's based on facts, spiritual facts, realities.
  • 00:18:25.489 --> 00:18:31.095
  • It's based on the truth, amen.
  • 00:18:31.095 --> 00:18:33.764
  • God says, "likewise, reckon yourself,"
  • 00:18:33.764 --> 00:18:38.102
  • Account yourself, esteem yourself like jesus.
  • 00:18:38.102 --> 00:18:42.473
  • Likewise means what?
  • 00:18:42.473 --> 00:18:43.808
  • In the same manner!
  • 00:18:43.808 --> 00:18:46.410
  • If you try harder, that means you are not there.
  • 00:18:46.410 --> 00:18:50.681
  • It's not you.
  • 00:18:50.681 --> 00:18:52.717
  • So try harder to become what you are not.
  • 00:18:52.717 --> 00:18:57.121
  • So actually the problem is that the more we let go,
  • 00:18:57.121 --> 00:18:59.824
  • The more we rest and relax, the more who we are in christ
  • 00:18:59.824 --> 00:19:03.894
  • Will come forth, amen?
  • 00:19:03.894 --> 00:19:06.230
  • So the message of rest, actually rest, because the devil say,
  • 00:19:06.230 --> 00:19:09.667
  • You are not-- see, you're not holy.
  • 00:19:09.667 --> 00:19:12.703
  • See, you're not loving, all right?
  • 00:19:12.703 --> 00:19:14.505
  • You have that bitterness, all right?
  • 00:19:14.505 --> 00:19:15.973
  • You have that anger just now when the lady spoke
  • 00:19:15.973 --> 00:19:17.975
  • And all that, you had the bitterness towards her,
  • 00:19:17.975 --> 00:19:19.644
  • You had the jealousy in your heart towards her and all that.
  • 00:19:19.644 --> 00:19:21.245
  • See, see, see, see.
  • 00:19:21.245 --> 00:19:22.580
  • See, you are still the same person, amen?
  • 00:19:22.580 --> 00:19:24.415
  • What you need to do instead of, i know,
  • 00:19:24.415 --> 00:19:25.883
  • I try to suppress this feeling.
  • 00:19:25.883 --> 00:19:27.251
  • I try to avoid this feeling.
  • 00:19:27.251 --> 00:19:28.586
  • I'm not--you have lost before you began.
  • 00:19:28.586 --> 00:19:32.323
  • Because you are acting based on a lie.
  • 00:19:32.323 --> 00:19:34.892
  • And the lie came from the enemy.
  • 00:19:34.892 --> 00:19:36.294
  • But you feel it, you feel it.
  • 00:19:36.294 --> 00:19:37.628
  • You feel it doesn't mean it's truth.
  • 00:19:37.628 --> 00:19:42.800
  • Most feelings come and go.
  • 00:19:42.800 --> 00:19:45.636
  • Learn to handle your feelings, even bad feelings, depression,
  • 00:19:45.636 --> 00:19:50.074
  • You know, negative feelings, anger, and all that,
  • 00:19:50.074 --> 00:19:52.343
  • Like you are on a tour bus, all right?
  • 00:19:52.343 --> 00:19:55.646
  • When you are on a tour bus, you look at all the scenery.
  • 00:19:55.646 --> 00:19:58.516
  • Some scenery are beautiful.
  • 00:19:58.516 --> 00:19:59.850
  • Oh, look at that!
  • 00:19:59.850 --> 00:20:01.185
  • Those are like feeling good, enjoy it, feel good.
  • 00:20:01.185 --> 00:20:03.587
  • But you know what?
  • 00:20:03.587 --> 00:20:05.589
  • Very soon, the feel good pass by and you see an area
  • 00:20:05.589 --> 00:20:07.224
  • Where it looks horrible.
  • 00:20:07.224 --> 00:20:09.026
  • People have abused the plants down there.
  • 00:20:09.026 --> 00:20:10.494
  • They have abused the forest there.
  • 00:20:10.494 --> 00:20:12.797
  • It's burned down.
  • 00:20:12.797 --> 00:20:14.131
  • You see the abuse and you feel angry, all right?
  • 00:20:14.131 --> 00:20:16.600
  • And then you pass by that scene to another
  • 00:20:16.600 --> 00:20:17.935
  • More beautiful scene again.
  • 00:20:17.935 --> 00:20:19.370
  • You see, your feelings go-- come and go.
  • 00:20:19.370 --> 00:20:22.406
  • See your feelings like fleeting things.
  • 00:20:22.406 --> 00:20:25.276
  • You may experience it, but it is not you.
  • 00:20:25.276 --> 00:20:29.613
  • So right now, the devil says, "you feel depressed.
  • 00:20:29.613 --> 00:20:31.849
  • Therefore you are depressed."
  • 00:20:31.849 --> 00:20:33.784
  • Throw it back at him.
  • 00:20:33.784 --> 00:20:35.986
  • "i am the righteousness of god in christ.
  • 00:20:35.986 --> 00:20:37.822
  • I'm a new creation in christ, amen.
  • 00:20:37.822 --> 00:20:40.157
  • I'm not depressed.
  • 00:20:40.157 --> 00:20:41.959
  • I feel depression at times, but i'm not depressed."
  • 00:20:41.959 --> 00:20:48.065
  • You're gonna lose your mind.
  • 00:20:48.065 --> 00:20:49.400
  • "no, i have the mind of christ."
  • 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:51.068
  • That's why we need to know the word.
  • 00:20:51.068 --> 00:20:52.403
  • We need to study and renew our mind.
  • 00:20:52.403 --> 00:20:54.672
  • That's what the bible says in the gideon ephesians chapter 4:
  • 00:20:54.672 --> 00:20:57.842
  • "that you put off concerning your former conduct the old man
  • 00:20:57.842 --> 00:21:02.380
  • Which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts."
  • 00:21:02.380 --> 00:21:05.950
  • Notice it's telling you, put off, and this is past tense,
  • 00:21:05.950 --> 00:21:09.820
  • That you put off, past tense, aorist tense,
  • 00:21:09.820 --> 00:21:13.124
  • Concerning your former conduct, the old man,
  • 00:21:13.124 --> 00:21:16.093
  • Which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts.
  • 00:21:16.093 --> 00:21:18.229
  • Now it's not saying you have an old man now, put him off.
  • 00:21:18.229 --> 00:21:20.765
  • No, no, read carefully.
  • 00:21:20.765 --> 00:21:22.366
  • You have put off.
  • 00:21:22.366 --> 00:21:24.068
  • In colossians, it says like this,
  • 00:21:24.068 --> 00:21:25.736
  • "seeing that you have put off the old man," amen?
  • 00:21:25.736 --> 00:21:29.006
  • In colossians, it says,
  • 00:21:29.006 --> 00:21:30.341
  • "seeing that you have put off the old man," amen.
  • 00:21:30.341 --> 00:21:32.877
  • So the key is this.
  • 00:21:32.877 --> 00:21:34.211
  • How to put off this one?
  • 00:21:34.211 --> 00:21:35.546
  • The bible says: "that you put off,
  • 00:21:35.546 --> 00:21:36.881
  • Concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt
  • 00:21:36.881 --> 00:21:38.949
  • According to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed," where?
  • 00:21:38.949 --> 00:21:43.220
  • "in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man
  • 00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:47.525
  • Which was created according to god."
  • 00:21:47.525 --> 00:21:49.527
  • Now this new man is created according to god, in what?
  • 00:21:49.527 --> 00:21:51.962
  • "in true righteousness and holiness."
  • 00:21:51.962 --> 00:21:55.566
  • You see, folks, put off is done deal.
  • 00:21:55.566 --> 00:21:59.637
  • Finish with it.
  • 00:21:59.637 --> 00:22:00.971
  • It doesn't say you are to put.
  • 00:22:00.971 --> 00:22:03.741
  • A lot of people turn it around and say,
  • 00:22:03.741 --> 00:22:05.309
  • "you see, you must put off, you must put off, you must put off."
  • 00:22:05.309 --> 00:22:08.078
  • It's always this word, you must, you ought, you should.
  • 00:22:08.078 --> 00:22:11.682
  • Watch out for that.
  • 00:22:11.682 --> 00:22:13.017
  • That's a try harder christianity.
  • 00:22:13.017 --> 00:22:14.952
  • No, it's all by grace, people.
  • 00:22:14.952 --> 00:22:17.154
  • We already are what we are by grace.
  • 00:22:17.154 --> 00:22:19.490
  • Now god is saying, walk it out.
  • 00:22:19.490 --> 00:22:21.325
  • Walk out the fact that you are a prince, you are a princess,
  • 00:22:21.325 --> 00:22:24.562
  • You're living the high life, amen.
  • 00:22:24.562 --> 00:22:26.897
  • Praise god.
  • 00:22:26.897 --> 00:22:28.232
  • You know, princess and princesses, right,
  • 00:22:28.232 --> 00:22:29.567
  • In the original form,
  • 00:22:29.567 --> 00:22:30.901
  • Does not look at people that criticize them,
  • 00:22:30.901 --> 00:22:33.637
  • You know, and seriously start scolding them
  • 00:22:33.637 --> 00:22:36.307
  • And all that because it's beneath you to do that.
  • 00:22:36.307 --> 00:22:41.278
  • You are bigger than that.
  • 00:22:41.278 --> 00:22:43.681
  • In fact, when you focus on people who criticize you,
  • 00:22:43.681 --> 00:22:45.449
  • You are giving them a leg up.
  • 00:22:45.449 --> 00:22:47.418
  • You are giving them a platform.
  • 00:22:47.418 --> 00:22:49.153
  • You are giving them attention.
  • 00:22:49.153 --> 00:22:50.588
  • And what you give attention to, you give power to.
  • 00:22:50.588 --> 00:22:54.558
  • So, what you do doesn't make you what you are.
  • 00:22:54.558 --> 00:23:01.465
  • It is who you are that makes you.
  • 00:23:01.465 --> 00:23:03.100
  • And the bible says you are created in--
  • 00:23:03.100 --> 00:23:04.735
  • This new man that you have is created in what?
  • 00:23:04.735 --> 00:23:07.104
  • According to god, "in true righteousness and holiness."
  • 00:23:07.104 --> 00:23:12.076
  • Not this fake righteousness.
  • 00:23:12.076 --> 00:23:13.511
  • It's true holiness and righteous.
