Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - This Is The Truth That Sets You Free | March 30, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.887
Joseph prince: today we celebrate
00:00:13.123 --> 00:00:14.324
The resurrection of jesus christ, why?
00:00:14.457 --> 00:00:16.459
Because jesus rose from the dead,
00:00:16.593 --> 00:00:18.361
Not metaphysically, not in an imperial way.
00:00:18.461 --> 00:00:19.229
Jesus rose from the dead bodily and he says,
00:00:21.865 --> 00:00:24.734
"because i live, you shall live also," amen.
00:00:24.734 --> 00:00:30.573
So one of the things jesus conquered on the cross
00:00:30.573 --> 00:00:33.643
Is death itself.
00:00:33.643 --> 00:00:36.012
Male announcer: are you ready for the rapture?
00:00:36.012 --> 00:00:38.014
How do you even get ready for the rapture?
00:00:38.014 --> 00:00:40.083
In today's message, joseph prince reveals
00:00:40.083 --> 00:00:42.185
Powerful truths about the rapture
00:00:42.185 --> 00:00:43.887
And the life that we are called to live
00:00:43.887 --> 00:00:45.622
As we await the return of our savior.
00:00:45.622 --> 00:00:48.491
In these perilous last days, what if the question isn't
00:00:48.491 --> 00:00:51.528
"will i be left behind?" but "what will i leave behind?"
00:00:51.528 --> 00:00:55.732
As we look at the world today,
00:00:55.732 --> 00:00:57.400
One thing is clear: people need to hear the good news--
00:00:57.400 --> 00:01:00.336
That god is not an angry god
00:01:00.336 --> 00:01:02.305
And that there is hope for these dark days.
00:01:02.305 --> 00:01:04.874
But our work is far from finished.
00:01:04.874 --> 00:01:06.809

00:01:08.578 --> 00:01:11.080

And outreach initiatives, reaching as many people
00:01:12.982 --> 00:01:15.718
As possible, as quickly as possible.
00:01:15.718 --> 00:01:18.321

00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:33.636

00:01:33.636 --> 00:01:35.171
While the world looks to the future
00:01:35.171 --> 00:01:36.673
With fear and anxiety,
00:01:36.673 --> 00:01:38.141
In christ you can live with greater purpose.
00:01:38.141 --> 00:01:41.211

And now here's pastor joseph prince
00:01:48.985 --> 00:01:51.387
With today's program.
00:01:51.387 --> 00:01:52.722
Joseph prince: jesus said in john 10,
00:01:52.722 --> 00:01:54.757
"the thief does not come except to steal, to kill,
00:01:54.757 --> 00:01:57.493
And to destroy.
00:01:57.493 --> 00:01:59.095
I have come that they might have life,
00:01:59.095 --> 00:02:02.599
And have it more abundantly."
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.269
So notice jesus said, "the thief," singular.
00:02:06.269 --> 00:02:09.772
Who is that? that's the devil.
00:02:09.772 --> 00:02:11.774
He comes to steal and then to kill.
00:02:11.774 --> 00:02:16.246
Notice, he cannot kill unless he has first stolen.
00:02:16.246 --> 00:02:19.916
So what does the devil steal from you?
00:02:19.916 --> 00:02:23.386
He steals the truth, the truth of god's word.
00:02:23.386 --> 00:02:26.189
He has to remove what you are believing that is right.
00:02:26.189 --> 00:02:30.560
Now, jesus himself said in john 10:10, we just read
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.997
That the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
00:02:33.997 --> 00:02:37.233
God never steals from you.
00:02:37.233 --> 00:02:39.369
God never kills. god doesn't destroy.
00:02:39.369 --> 00:02:41.838
God is a good god.
00:02:41.838 --> 00:02:43.239
Is this the kind of world that god brought us into?
00:02:43.239 --> 00:02:47.010
No.
00:02:47.010 --> 00:02:49.078
I regret to tell you we are in a fallen earth.
00:02:49.078 --> 00:02:55.218
But this is not the way god made the earth.
00:02:55.218 --> 00:02:57.420
This is not the way.
00:02:57.420 --> 00:02:58.755
The father's plan for us in the beginning is
00:02:58.755 --> 00:03:00.757
That we enjoy lavish abundance.
00:03:00.757 --> 00:03:04.427
We enjoy health, wholeness-- that we will never die.
00:03:04.427 --> 00:03:09.732
So to god, death is but an enemy.
00:03:09.732 --> 00:03:13.670
The bible is very clear.
00:03:13.670 --> 00:03:15.004
The bible uses the word, the last enemy
00:03:15.004 --> 00:03:16.406
That should be put under jesus's feet is death.
00:03:16.406 --> 00:03:19.842
So death is foreign to god, amen.
00:03:19.842 --> 00:03:22.612
God hates death as much as he hates sin.
00:03:22.612 --> 00:03:25.948
But in the very beginning when god created man and woman,
00:03:25.948 --> 00:03:29.052
The first man and woman, adam and eve, our first parents,
00:03:29.052 --> 00:03:33.423
That he--god put them in a garden
00:03:33.423 --> 00:03:35.658
Where he surrounded them with abundance,
00:03:35.658 --> 00:03:40.830
Magnificence, extravagance.
00:03:40.830 --> 00:03:44.000
There was more than enough for one couple.
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.302
They were the first couple.
00:03:46.302 --> 00:03:47.904
And god lavished them with more than enough.
00:03:47.904 --> 00:03:50.640
So in a world of selfishness and self-centeredness and sin,
00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:56.079
People have robbed these provisions
00:03:56.079 --> 00:03:59.749
That god has given to all men to share.
00:03:59.749 --> 00:04:02.552
And one person can actually enjoy more than enough.
00:04:02.552 --> 00:04:05.254
But why then do we have poverty?
00:04:05.254 --> 00:04:07.457
Why was jesus, the son of god, who came to earth to die for us,
00:04:07.457 --> 00:04:12.428
Crucified without any clothes on, why?
00:04:12.428 --> 00:04:15.598
He who flung the stars and the suns into space,
00:04:15.598 --> 00:04:21.170
Amen, the galaxies, the planets;
00:04:21.170 --> 00:04:23.139
He who created the sapphires, diamonds, rubies--
00:04:23.139 --> 00:04:26.542
He was made poor, the bible says,
00:04:26.542 --> 00:04:28.578
That you through his poverty might be rich.
00:04:28.578 --> 00:04:31.781
Because what happened on the cross
00:04:31.781 --> 00:04:33.449
Is a divine exchange of all that we have lost
00:04:33.449 --> 00:04:36.452
Because of our sin.
00:04:36.452 --> 00:04:37.787
On the cross, jesus wore the crown of thorns, why?
00:04:37.787 --> 00:04:40.456
Because when adam sinned, god says, "from now on,
00:04:40.456 --> 00:04:43.626
The ground will not easily yield to you its harvests.
00:04:43.626 --> 00:04:47.296
By the sweat of your face, you will eat bread
00:04:47.296 --> 00:04:51.267
From the ground."
00:04:51.267 --> 00:04:52.602
You know, jesus to redeem us in the passion,
00:04:52.602 --> 00:04:55.571
He was in the garden of gethsemane
00:04:55.571 --> 00:04:56.973
Just a few hours before he was crucified on the cross.
00:04:56.973 --> 00:04:59.909
Jesus was in the garden, praying,
00:04:59.909 --> 00:05:02.779
And the bible says he sweat so much
00:05:02.779 --> 00:05:05.181
That his capillaries burst.
00:05:05.181 --> 00:05:07.049
Now, it's a condition that scientists call--
00:05:07.049 --> 00:05:09.218
And only under great duress, under great extreme stress,
00:05:09.218 --> 00:05:13.756
The capillaries will burst and mix up with your sweat
00:05:13.756 --> 00:05:16.726
And you are literally sweating blood.
00:05:16.726 --> 00:05:19.362
It's a very rare case but it does happen.
00:05:19.362 --> 00:05:23.266
And jesus sweat blood,
00:05:23.266 --> 00:05:26.669
And the blood dropped to the ground.
00:05:26.669 --> 00:05:28.337
What does that tell us?
00:05:28.337 --> 00:05:29.672
Well, the bible says we are all redeemed
00:05:29.672 --> 00:05:31.507
By the blood of jesus.
00:05:31.507 --> 00:05:33.643
There is no sin in the blood of jesus.
00:05:33.643 --> 00:05:35.111
He was born of a virgin.
00:05:35.111 --> 00:05:36.779
The blood in him all came from his father.
00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:39.015
And the blood in him was there to be shed.
00:05:39.015 --> 00:05:42.952
He came to die for us, amen,
00:05:42.952 --> 00:05:45.321
Because we needed to be redeemed.
00:05:45.321 --> 00:05:47.223
All creation has fallen. there is no hope in creation.
00:05:47.223 --> 00:05:51.294
No matter how organic your diet is, you will die.
00:05:51.294 --> 00:05:58.067
No matter how much you exercise, you will die, amen?
00:05:58.067 --> 00:06:02.004
But jesus came to bring the gift of eternal life
00:06:02.004 --> 00:06:05.608
Through his name, hallelujah.
00:06:05.608 --> 00:06:08.244
Praise the lord.
00:06:08.244 --> 00:06:09.579
And the first area he covered for us
00:06:09.579 --> 00:06:10.913
Was actually in the garden
00:06:10.913 --> 00:06:12.248
Because what happened to our first parents
00:06:12.248 --> 00:06:15.151
Actually happened in a garden.
00:06:15.151 --> 00:06:17.353
So jesus, to redeem us, he was in a garden,
00:06:17.353 --> 00:06:20.256
Another garden.
00:06:20.256 --> 00:06:21.591
But this time, he sweat blood.
00:06:21.591 --> 00:06:22.925
And later on, they will put a crown of thorns on his head.
00:06:22.925 --> 00:06:26.429
Why did he sweat blood?
00:06:26.429 --> 00:06:27.997
Because his blood has redeeming, buying-back property,
00:06:27.997 --> 00:06:31.400
Buying you from the slave market,
00:06:31.400 --> 00:06:33.469
Buying you from the curse,
00:06:33.469 --> 00:06:34.804
Buying you out of darkness with a price.
00:06:34.804 --> 00:06:37.240
And the price was his precious blood.
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.108
And by his blood, he redeemed all of us
00:06:39.108 --> 00:06:41.277
From that curse that came on mankind
00:06:41.277 --> 00:06:43.546
When he sinned-- when adam sinned.
00:06:43.546 --> 00:06:45.948
God says, "by the sweat of your face,
00:06:45.948 --> 00:06:48.017
You will eat bread."
00:06:48.017 --> 00:06:49.352
In other words, all the good things in life
00:06:49.352 --> 00:06:50.686
Can only come by your sweat, by your hard work,
00:06:50.686 --> 00:06:53.489
By your painful labor.
00:06:53.489 --> 00:06:55.057
Well, all that has been redeemed for us by jesus christ
00:06:55.057 --> 00:06:59.962
When he sweat blood...
00:06:59.962 --> 00:07:03.699
Because of the redeeming quality of his blood,
00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:07.403
When his sweat and the blood mixed,
00:07:07.403 --> 00:07:09.605
He redeemed all of us from the curse of human sweat.
00:07:09.605 --> 00:07:15.678
So today we receive the blessings, the good life,
00:07:15.678 --> 00:07:19.181
Life more abundant as a gift--
00:07:19.181 --> 00:07:21.217
Not by our sweat, blood, and tears,
00:07:21.217 --> 00:07:23.653
Not by our human effort, but by his grace.
00:07:23.653 --> 00:07:27.089
For god to forgive us our sins is free for us.
00:07:27.089 --> 00:07:30.359
But it cost god his son.
00:07:30.359 --> 00:07:31.961
His son has to come down--
00:07:31.961 --> 00:07:34.964
His son chose to come down, amen.
00:07:34.964 --> 00:07:38.100
He chose to go to the cross and gave his life for us
00:07:38.100 --> 00:07:41.904
On that cross, bearing our sins in his own body, why?
00:07:41.904 --> 00:07:45.207
We go back again to the garden, amen?
00:07:45.207 --> 00:07:47.376
Not only god says, "by the sweat of your face,
00:07:47.376 --> 00:07:50.179
You will eat bread,"
00:07:50.179 --> 00:07:51.514
God says, "from now on--" in fact, god told adam,
00:07:51.514 --> 00:07:53.849
"the day you eat from the tree,
00:07:53.849 --> 00:07:55.551
The tree of knowledge of good and evil,
00:07:55.551 --> 00:07:57.486
Dying you shall die."
00:07:57.486 --> 00:07:59.188
In other words, dying spiritually,
00:07:59.188 --> 00:08:01.057
You shall die one day physically.
00:08:01.057 --> 00:08:03.459
But from that day, when man partook of that fruit,
00:08:03.459 --> 00:08:06.662
Man died inside, spiritually.
00:08:06.662 --> 00:08:09.231
You see, friends, let me just say this.
00:08:09.231 --> 00:08:11.200
You are not just a body, all right?
00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:14.637
You're not just a mind. you are a spirit.
00:08:14.637 --> 00:08:18.407
God made you a spirit.
00:08:18.407 --> 00:08:19.875
The bible says: "in the beginning,
00:08:19.875 --> 00:08:21.310
God created the heavens and the earth."
00:08:21.310 --> 00:08:24.580
When god made man, god says, "let us--"
00:08:24.580 --> 00:08:27.083
Have you noticed the word "us"
00:08:27.083 --> 00:08:28.551
In your english bible, the king james bible?
00:08:28.551 --> 00:08:31.120
"let us," that is plural, isn't it?
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.456
But one god, triunity.
00:08:33.456 --> 00:08:36.759
One god, three distinct persons.
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.662
One god-- father, son, holy spirit.
00:08:39.662 --> 00:08:42.198
God says, "let us make man in our image."
00:08:42.198 --> 00:08:44.567
God made you a triunity as well
00:08:44.567 --> 00:08:47.770
Because you are made in god's image.
00:08:47.770 --> 00:08:49.739
You see, you are a spirit. you dwell inside, amen.
00:08:49.739 --> 00:08:54.110
All of us, we are spirit beings.
00:08:54.110 --> 00:08:55.811
That's why we can sense things that are spiritual
00:08:55.811 --> 00:08:58.314
Long before our mind catches up.
00:08:58.314 --> 00:09:00.916
We can sense things intuitively long before our understanding
00:09:00.916 --> 00:09:06.255
Can relate to us what is happening.
00:09:06.255 --> 00:09:08.824
We--our spirit is faster than our brain.
00:09:08.824 --> 00:09:12.228
Sometimes you can sense-- that's why young children,
00:09:12.228 --> 00:09:14.864
They can sense evil people-- they don't like certain ones,
00:09:14.864 --> 00:09:17.933
Amen--faster than we can.
00:09:17.933 --> 00:09:20.002
Their spirit is alive, amen.
00:09:20.002 --> 00:09:23.639
So, for us, we don't realize that--
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.542
We just think we are our bodies.
00:09:26.542 --> 00:09:27.877
We are not our bodies.
00:09:27.877 --> 00:09:29.211
Our bodies is an integral part of god's creation
00:09:29.211 --> 00:09:31.380
Because god made us tripartite.
00:09:31.380 --> 00:09:33.949
Okay? you are a spirit.
00:09:33.949 --> 00:09:35.484
You have a soul that is your mind and your emotions.
00:09:35.484 --> 00:09:40.890
Okay, your will, your mind, emotions,
00:09:40.890 --> 00:09:42.892
And what's called soul.
00:09:42.892 --> 00:09:44.393
You know, soul is not spirit.
00:09:44.393 --> 00:09:45.928
Spirit is spirit, the bible tells us.
00:09:45.928 --> 00:09:47.263
Spirit is like god. god is a spirit.
00:09:47.263 --> 00:09:49.632
God made us all spirits.
00:09:49.632 --> 00:09:52.034
Then we have souls and we live in a body, amen.
00:09:52.034 --> 00:09:57.306
So with the body, you contact the physical world;
00:09:57.306 --> 00:10:01.043
With the mind, the intellectual world.
00:10:01.043 --> 00:10:03.279
But with the spirit, you contact god.
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.649
Now, that part when man's sin was cut off from god,
00:10:06.649 --> 00:10:10.619
That part died.
00:10:10.619 --> 00:10:12.388
When the bible says you must be born again,
00:10:12.388 --> 00:10:13.989
It's that part the bible is referring to--the real you.
00:10:13.989 --> 00:10:18.527
Your spirit and soul is your inner man.
00:10:18.527 --> 00:10:21.564
But you live in a body.
00:10:21.564 --> 00:10:22.898
So if i die right now-- which i won't.
00:10:22.898 --> 00:10:24.900
I'll try not to, by the grace of god.
00:10:24.900 --> 00:10:26.769
Okay, if i die right now, poof, my body drops, right?
00:10:26.769 --> 00:10:31.040
But i will step out of my body. that's the real me.
00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:37.379
I look down and say, "wow, what's that good-looking corpse
00:10:37.379 --> 00:10:40.883
Doing down there?"
00:10:40.883 --> 00:10:42.852
Why you all laugh? okay, no corpse look good, yeah?
00:10:42.852 --> 00:10:48.524
So i'm stepping out of my house,
00:10:48.524 --> 00:10:52.661
But i can't call out to you anymore, why?
00:10:52.661 --> 00:10:54.663
My vocal cords by which i communicate with the physical--
00:10:54.663 --> 00:10:58.100
You communicate with the physical--
00:10:58.100 --> 00:10:59.668
The cord is no more with me; it's down there, right?
00:10:59.668 --> 00:11:05.541
But i'm still alive. how do you explain?
00:11:05.541 --> 00:11:08.477
There must be a place to house me:
00:11:08.477 --> 00:11:10.813
Heaven or hell.
00:11:10.813 --> 00:11:12.848
We know that death is not natural.
00:11:12.848 --> 00:11:16.318
That's why we don't like to attend funerals.
00:11:16.318 --> 00:11:18.354
We go because of our love and respect
00:11:18.354 --> 00:11:20.489
For the people that are there.
00:11:20.489 --> 00:11:21.824
But we don't like to be there.
00:11:21.824 --> 00:11:23.893
We enjoy being at weddings.
00:11:23.893 --> 00:11:25.227
It's a celebration of life and new births.
00:11:25.227 --> 00:11:27.496
But we don't enjoy death because we know
00:11:27.496 --> 00:11:29.598
That death is foreign to our nature.
00:11:29.598 --> 00:11:31.734
You are right, my friend.
00:11:31.734 --> 00:11:33.068
You sense that in your spirit
00:11:33.068 --> 00:11:34.403
Because death was never meant to be.
00:11:34.403 --> 00:11:36.505
And today we celebrate the resurrection of jesus christ.
00:11:36.505 --> 00:11:39.375
Why?
00:11:39.375 --> 00:11:40.709
Because jesus rose from the dead,
00:11:40.709 --> 00:11:42.278
Not metaphysically, not in an ethereal way.
00:11:42.278 --> 00:11:45.214
Jesus rose from the dead bodily and he says,
00:11:45.214 --> 00:11:48.384
"because i live, you shall live also," amen.
00:11:48.384 --> 00:11:56.025
So one of the things jesus conquered on the cross
00:11:56.025 --> 00:11:59.094
Is death itself.
00:11:59.094 --> 00:12:01.964
Hallelujah!
00:12:01.964 --> 00:12:03.499
When god wanted to make man, god spoke to himself.
00:12:03.499 --> 00:12:09.572
He didn't speak to the ground. he didn't speak to the sea.
00:12:09.572 --> 00:12:12.775
He spoke to himself.
00:12:12.775 --> 00:12:14.443
And this is what god said: "let us make man in our image.
00:12:14.443 --> 00:12:19.448
And in the image of god, man was created.
00:12:19.448 --> 00:12:24.053
Male and female, he created them," amen.
00:12:24.053 --> 00:12:28.424
What does that mean?
00:12:28.424 --> 00:12:30.359
Apart from the ground, the tree is dead.
00:12:30.359 --> 00:12:35.798
Apart from the waters, the fish is dead.
00:12:35.798 --> 00:12:39.401
Apart from god, man is dead.
00:12:39.401 --> 00:12:43.606
And god ordained also that the tree would draw its fruit,
00:12:43.606 --> 00:12:48.277
Its food, nourishment, from the ground.
00:12:48.277 --> 00:12:52.314
The fish would draw its nourishment from the sea.
00:12:52.314 --> 00:12:56.018
Likewise, we would draw our life force, amen,
00:12:56.018 --> 00:12:59.822
Our health, our sustenance from god.
00:12:59.822 --> 00:13:04.593
But then god didn't make man totally of himself.
00:13:04.593 --> 00:13:07.229
God made man out of the dust of the ground
00:13:07.229 --> 00:13:09.598
Like a mannequin.
00:13:09.598 --> 00:13:10.933
Just a house. there was no--nothing inside.
00:13:10.933 --> 00:13:13.402
And then the bible says god breathed into man.
00:13:13.402 --> 00:13:16.038
I love the hebrew word.
00:13:16.038 --> 00:13:17.573
The word there has a breathing out.
00:13:17.573 --> 00:13:19.508
Va-yipakh. god-breathed.
00:13:19.508 --> 00:13:22.077
In the hebrew, va-yipakh. god...into man.
00:13:22.077 --> 00:13:25.180
And man became a living soul. "yo, what's up? hey!"
00:13:25.180 --> 00:13:30.552
He became a living, animated man, amen?
00:13:30.552 --> 00:13:33.989
It's a god-man, in a sense. we are not divine.
00:13:33.989 --> 00:13:37.259
We will never be divine. understand this.
00:13:37.259 --> 00:13:39.595
Jesus is divine, god, fully god, fully man.
00:13:39.595 --> 00:13:43.799
We are sons of man who are born again
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:49.638
And become sons of god, but we are not divine.
00:13:49.638 --> 00:13:52.975
You follow what i'm saying?
00:13:52.975 --> 00:13:54.310
Partakers of the divine nature but not divine.
00:13:54.310 --> 00:13:57.579
Okay, only god is divine. so watch this.
00:13:57.579 --> 00:14:00.883
Now we have the life from god.
00:14:00.883 --> 00:14:03.185
So that life from god cannot die.
00:14:03.185 --> 00:14:07.022
It must be housed somewhere.
00:14:07.022 --> 00:14:09.358
It cannot be housed in heaven, because if it's full of sin.
00:14:09.358 --> 00:14:12.695
It cannot enter heaven. so it must be housed somewhere.
00:14:12.695 --> 00:14:17.599
And hell was not created for man--
00:14:17.599 --> 00:14:20.336
That jesus himself said hell was created for the devil
00:14:20.336 --> 00:14:23.639
And his fallen angels, amen.
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.241
But man will go there if that's who they want to follow.
00:14:26.241 --> 00:14:30.713
Man sinned against god, committed high treason,
00:14:30.713 --> 00:14:34.083
Bowed his knee to satan and gave, literally,
00:14:34.083 --> 00:14:37.319
The key of authority over this earth,
00:14:37.319 --> 00:14:38.787
Gave it to satan.
00:14:38.787 --> 00:14:41.523
Now who has the key now? satan.
00:14:41.523 --> 00:14:44.593
And satan brought in anything abominable and damnable
00:14:44.593 --> 00:14:49.365
You can think of, all right?
00:14:49.365 --> 00:14:51.633
Disease, growing old, mental conditions of depression,
00:14:51.633 --> 00:14:58.540
Anxiety, stress, broken relationships,
00:14:58.540 --> 00:15:02.644
Strife, bitterness, wars, even weather going crazy,
00:15:02.644 --> 00:15:08.017
You know, earthquakes and all that.
00:15:08.017 --> 00:15:09.585
All this is not from god. it's from the devil.
00:15:09.585 --> 00:15:11.987
The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
00:15:11.987 --> 00:15:15.591
Now, why didn't god just come in and say,
00:15:15.591 --> 00:15:17.259
"devil, i take back the key"?
00:15:17.259 --> 00:15:19.361
If god did that, god would be powerful, yes, but unjust.
00:15:19.361 --> 00:15:23.565
God is not just all-powerful. he is a just god.
00:15:23.565 --> 00:15:27.336
And he does things justly and righteously and judiciously.
00:15:27.336 --> 00:15:32.741
So god cannot do that.
00:15:32.741 --> 00:15:34.076
It was through man that god gave the authority.
00:15:34.076 --> 00:15:36.078
Man gave the authority to the devil, by his sin.
00:15:36.078 --> 00:15:39.782
Now it must be a man, another man,
00:15:39.782 --> 00:15:41.683
That will take back the authority.
00:15:41.683 --> 00:15:43.919
Hence we have the beautiful love story.
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.155
God love you and i. god sent his son, jesus christ.
00:15:46.155 --> 00:15:52.928
And that's why jesus is called what?
00:15:52.928 --> 00:15:54.430
The last adam.
00:15:54.430 --> 00:15:56.298
There was a first adam, right, who committed high treason,
00:15:56.298 --> 00:15:59.835
Sold his high inheritance.
00:15:59.835 --> 00:16:01.870
And then, god sent the last adam.
00:16:01.870 --> 00:16:03.672
The last adam came, amen.
00:16:03.672 --> 00:16:06.708
Jesus came for what purpose? to take back that authority.
00:16:06.708 --> 00:16:10.446
But he has to do it legally, righteously, judiciously.
00:16:10.446 --> 00:16:15.350
So god has to forgive on a righteous foundation.
00:16:15.350 --> 00:16:20.622
So how can god do that? god sent his son, jesus christ.
00:16:20.622 --> 00:16:25.427
And on that cross--by the way, jesus wasn't murdered.
00:16:25.427 --> 00:16:30.599
He laid down his life, amen.
00:16:30.599 --> 00:16:33.702
When they came to arrest him in the garden, all right,
00:16:33.702 --> 00:16:36.038
They said--these are soldiers brandishing
00:16:36.038 --> 00:16:38.173
Their staves and their swords, carrying torchlight--
00:16:38.173 --> 00:16:41.009
I mean, the lamp that was burning--
00:16:41.009 --> 00:16:43.278
With their spears and all that.
00:16:43.278 --> 00:16:45.147
And a lot of them, soldiers came
00:16:45.147 --> 00:16:46.748
To arrest jesus, one man.
00:16:46.748 --> 00:16:48.684
And when they said, "we came to arrest jesus of nazareth,"
00:16:48.684 --> 00:16:51.220
All he said was, "i am," bang!
00:16:51.220 --> 00:16:53.188
They all fell, the bible says.
00:16:53.188 --> 00:16:55.524
They all fell,
00:16:55.524 --> 00:16:57.893
Pinned to the ground, arrested by the power of god,
00:16:57.893 --> 00:17:04.466
By the one they came to arrest.
00:17:04.466 --> 00:17:08.137
Note "i am."
00:17:08.137 --> 00:17:10.472
Moses--many of you watched "the ten commandments," right?
00:17:10.472 --> 00:17:13.642
Moses asked god for his name.
00:17:13.642 --> 00:17:16.078
When he saw the burning bush
00:17:16.078 --> 00:17:17.412
That was burning but not burned, not consumed,
00:17:17.412 --> 00:17:19.515
He says, "god--" god was in the burning bush.
00:17:19.515 --> 00:17:23.418
And he asked god, "what is your name?
00:17:23.418 --> 00:17:25.521
If the people of israel says, 'what is god's name?'
00:17:25.521 --> 00:17:28.390
What shall i tell them?'"
00:17:28.390 --> 00:17:29.725
God says, "i am that i am."
00:17:29.725 --> 00:17:32.461
So when they came to arrest jesus
00:17:32.461 --> 00:17:34.329
And jesus says, "i am," they all fell.
00:17:34.329 --> 00:17:37.266
They should have known while they are lying down there.
00:17:37.266 --> 00:17:40.102
Very familiar, "i am." he was declaring himself as god.
00:17:40.102 --> 00:17:44.940
So he allowed them to get up to arrest him, amen.
00:17:44.940 --> 00:17:49.745
Let me tell you: jesus is not like, you know, a softy, okay?
00:17:49.745 --> 00:17:53.682
He didn't look like the hardcore fishermen,
00:17:53.682 --> 00:17:57.186
You know, by the sea of galilee.
00:17:57.186 --> 00:17:58.554
He comes to them and spoke only two words.
00:17:58.554 --> 00:18:00.355
They left everything and followed him!
00:18:00.355 --> 00:18:02.224
Do you think he spoke like that?
00:18:02.224 --> 00:18:03.992
"hello? want to follow me or not?"
00:18:03.992 --> 00:18:07.796
[congregation laughing]
00:18:07.796 --> 00:18:09.131
"come on. yeah, come on."
00:18:09.131 --> 00:18:12.968
No.
00:18:12.968 --> 00:18:14.303
He went to them, spoke two words: "follow me."
00:18:14.303 --> 00:18:16.805
Strong men, all right?
00:18:16.805 --> 00:18:18.907
Spitting-down-on-the-ground men, all right, coarse-mouth men.
00:18:18.907 --> 00:18:24.646
Coarse, with language that's really coarse--fishermen.
00:18:24.646 --> 00:18:27.583
Left everything and followed him.
00:18:27.583 --> 00:18:29.117
There's something magnetic, something attractive
00:18:29.117 --> 00:18:31.687
About jesus.
00:18:31.687 --> 00:18:33.121
In the garden, when he stepped up,
00:18:33.121 --> 00:18:34.856
They said that he asked them, "whom do you seek to arrest?"
00:18:34.856 --> 00:18:38.360
"we seek jesus of nazareth." he stepped up.
00:18:38.360 --> 00:18:39.928
"i am." they all fell backwards.
00:18:39.928 --> 00:18:42.564
So, you see, he could have run.
00:18:42.564 --> 00:18:44.132
He could have got--left like-- but, no, he came to die.
00:18:44.132 --> 00:18:47.102
He allowed them to arrest him.
00:18:47.102 --> 00:18:51.273
And they were shocked when he laid himself on the cross
00:18:51.273 --> 00:18:55.744
To die for our sins.
00:18:55.744 --> 00:18:57.613
Because your sins and my sins must be paid.
00:18:57.613 --> 00:19:00.549
So on that cross,
00:19:00.549 --> 00:19:01.883
A divine exchange took place, amen.
00:19:01.883 --> 00:19:04.720
God took all your sins, and god put it into jesus.
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.556
And god took all jesus's righteousness
00:19:07.556 --> 00:19:10.158
And credited to your account.
00:19:10.158 --> 00:19:13.495
So god would--god treated jesus like he's the worst sinner,
00:19:13.495 --> 00:19:16.965
At the cross,
00:19:16.965 --> 00:19:18.333
And god treats you today like you're the best person
00:19:18.333 --> 00:19:21.670
That ever walked on earth,
00:19:21.670 --> 00:19:23.372
With all his blessings and favor shining on you.
00:19:23.372 --> 00:19:26.675
You say, "i don't deserve it!"
00:19:26.675 --> 00:19:28.176
I say, "jesus doesn't deserve to become sin at the cross."
00:19:28.176 --> 00:19:32.347
But jesus became sin at the cross.
00:19:32.347 --> 00:19:34.950
Likewise, you and i don't deserve, myself included,
00:19:34.950 --> 00:19:40.555
Pastor prince himself,
00:19:40.555 --> 00:19:42.691
I don't deserve to be righteous,
00:19:42.691 --> 00:19:44.526
But i am righteous in god's eyes.
00:19:44.526 --> 00:19:46.895
You know why? i receive his gift.
00:19:46.895 --> 00:19:50.098
How did jesus become sin at the cross?
00:19:50.098 --> 00:19:52.067
He received your sins and my sin into his very body.
00:19:52.067 --> 00:19:56.538
How do you and i become righteous today?
00:19:56.538 --> 00:19:58.440
We receive his righteousness. but herein lies the crux.
00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:02.577
You must receive. it's not automatic.
00:20:02.577 --> 00:20:05.781
See, when god made man, god made man with a free choice.
00:20:05.781 --> 00:20:09.084
God does not want a being that he has created in his image
00:20:09.084 --> 00:20:13.622
To have no free choice.
00:20:13.622 --> 00:20:15.657
But this is the thing, you see?
00:20:15.657 --> 00:20:16.992
When god made man and woman, god surrounded them
00:20:16.992 --> 00:20:19.227
With so many--not so many-- it's wrong to say "so many"--
00:20:19.227 --> 00:20:23.265
Everything that was good for them,
00:20:23.265 --> 00:20:26.935
That was beneficial for them, that was abundant for them,
00:20:26.935 --> 00:20:30.972
That was rich for them.
00:20:30.972 --> 00:20:33.141
It's all for them. everything around them is good.
00:20:33.141 --> 00:20:37.012
People ask, "why did god put that tree
00:20:37.012 --> 00:20:40.449
In the center of the garden and tell them not to eat
00:20:40.449 --> 00:20:42.451
From that tree?"
00:20:42.451 --> 00:20:43.785
God has to, because if he created a man with a free choice
00:20:43.785 --> 00:20:47.889
And he surround himself with everything good
00:20:47.889 --> 00:20:50.759
Around that man
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:53.328
And say, "remember my advice is 'choose good--'"
00:20:53.328 --> 00:20:59.000
You know what i'm saying, lah?
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:00.335
"everything i choose is good," why?
00:21:00.335 --> 00:21:02.270
So in order for god's judicial side, okay,
00:21:02.270 --> 00:21:06.375
To be portrayed, to be showed-- or else the devil himself
00:21:06.375 --> 00:21:09.144
Will say, "you never give man the choice."
00:21:09.144 --> 00:21:11.046
There must be at least one tree
00:21:11.046 --> 00:21:14.049
That will cause man to choose whether he still want god
00:21:14.049 --> 00:21:17.219
Or not.
00:21:17.219 --> 00:21:19.054
Unfortunately, there's the very one tree
00:21:19.054 --> 00:21:20.722
The devil himself came and said, "god--is god generous?"
00:21:20.722 --> 00:21:23.792
By the way, the devil always make god to be more stingy
00:21:23.792 --> 00:21:26.361
Than he really is, okay?
00:21:26.361 --> 00:21:28.864
God is a good god.
00:21:28.864 --> 00:21:30.432
He is the one that comes to give and to give
00:21:30.432 --> 00:21:32.934
And to bless and to bless and to heal and to heal
00:21:32.934 --> 00:21:35.904
And to build you up and to build you up, amen.
00:21:35.904 --> 00:21:38.373
He doesn't come to kill and steal and destroy.
00:21:38.373 --> 00:21:40.909
The devil does that.
00:21:40.909 --> 00:21:42.677
Now, once man choose the wrong side,
00:21:42.677 --> 00:21:45.080
God cannot say, "aye, aye, never mind now," you know?
00:21:45.080 --> 00:21:47.349
God cannot do that.
00:21:47.349 --> 00:21:48.950
God has to win man back righteously, judiciously.
00:21:48.950 --> 00:21:53.188
Hence the cross of jesus christ.
00:21:53.188 --> 00:21:55.524
There, all the sins of man fell on jesus.
00:21:55.524 --> 00:21:59.728
He died in our place.
00:21:59.728 --> 00:22:01.229
The bible records jesus's youth in just one passage,
00:22:01.229 --> 00:22:05.567
When he was 12 years old.
00:22:05.567 --> 00:22:08.470
And he told his parents when he was in the temple,
00:22:08.470 --> 00:22:12.908
"did you not know i must be about
00:22:12.908 --> 00:22:14.643
My father's business?"
00:22:14.643 --> 00:22:17.045
And the father's business is to seek that which is lost,
00:22:17.045 --> 00:22:20.882
To heal that which is broken, to raise those who are dead.
00:22:20.882 --> 00:22:25.720
And on the cross, he cried, "finished!"
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.124
The assignment that he came to do was finished.
00:22:29.124 --> 00:22:33.228
The law, the ten commandments, fulfilled in christ.
00:22:33.228 --> 00:22:37.933
So then when you believe on christ,
00:22:37.933 --> 00:22:39.267
God gave you an a-plus as far as the ten commandments
00:22:39.267 --> 00:22:42.871
Is concerned, as if you kept them all.
00:22:42.871 --> 00:22:51.046
The devil's power over you is now broken, finished!
00:22:51.046 --> 00:22:56.251
He still act--a master deceiver and a great liar
00:22:56.251 --> 00:23:00.889
Is someone who knows to act like he has power
00:23:00.889 --> 00:23:02.958
When he has no more power.
00:23:02.958 --> 00:23:07.529
And the bible says jesus went down
00:23:07.529 --> 00:23:11.633
During the three days and three nights.
00:23:11.633 --> 00:23:14.302
After he paid for our sins,
00:23:14.302 --> 00:23:15.637
He went down to a place called sheol,
00:23:15.637 --> 00:23:17.873
Which is hell.
00:23:17.873 --> 00:23:19.908
And there, jesus proclaimed the news
00:23:19.908 --> 00:23:25.614
That he was the long-promised messiah
00:23:25.614 --> 00:23:27.616
In the old testament
00:23:27.616 --> 00:23:29.384
To all those who were bound there.
00:23:29.384 --> 00:23:32.087
This is not purgatory.
00:23:32.087 --> 00:23:33.655
This is another teaching altogether
00:23:33.655 --> 00:23:35.590
To all those who are righteous,
00:23:35.590 --> 00:23:37.125
Who believe on jesus christ to come before jesus came.
00:23:37.125 --> 00:23:41.363
That includes all the old testament saints.
00:23:41.363 --> 00:23:44.099
They were kept in a place in hell,
00:23:44.099 --> 00:23:46.001
Not the suffering place, not the tormented place.
00:23:46.001 --> 00:23:48.603
It's a place called paradise. today it's vacant.
00:23:48.603 --> 00:23:52.207
Jesus brought them all out, with him,
00:23:52.207 --> 00:23:54.776
When he rose from the dead.
00:23:54.776 --> 00:23:56.745
And jesus rose from the dead bodily.
00:23:56.745 --> 00:24:00.215
And now he has the keys of hell and death.
00:24:00.215 --> 00:24:03.685
He has the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
00:24:03.685 --> 00:24:06.087
Remember the keys i told you?
00:24:06.087 --> 00:24:07.789
It was a man that gave satan the key over this earth?
00:24:07.789 --> 00:24:11.626
Now it is a man that has righteously,
00:24:11.626 --> 00:24:14.663
Righteously got it back.
00:24:14.663 --> 00:24:17.198
And there's nothing the devil can say.
00:24:17.198 --> 00:24:19.467
And do you know who he gave the key to?
00:24:19.467 --> 00:24:22.170
To all those who follow him, to all those who believe on him.
00:24:22.170 --> 00:24:25.540
It's like he says to you,
00:24:25.540 --> 00:24:26.875
"i give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
00:24:26.875 --> 00:24:30.278
Whatever you allow on earth, heaven will allow.
00:24:30.278 --> 00:24:36.084
Whatever you disallow on earth, heaven will disallow."
00:24:36.084 --> 00:24:40.889
And that's why we have allowed a lot of things going on,
00:24:40.889 --> 00:24:43.925
Not realizing that we have the authority
00:24:43.925 --> 00:24:47.195
To pray and to command.
00:24:47.195 --> 00:24:49.164
No sickness left anyone's body until there was a command
00:24:49.164 --> 00:24:53.301
In the name of jesus,
00:24:53.301 --> 00:24:55.003
Because he has given us the authority.
00:24:55.003 --> 00:24:59.274
Announcer: pastor joseph prince will return in a moment
