...
00:00:00.333 --> 00:00:00.018
Joseph prince: good things happen to people
00:00:11.997 --> 00:00:13.298
Who believe god loves them.
00:00:13.398 --> 00:00:15.601
When you feel loved, the love of god,
00:00:15.734 --> 00:00:18.203
When you sense the love of god,
00:00:18.303 --> 00:00:18.837
Good things happen in you, even in your health.
00:00:20.005 --> 00:00:24.710
You become whole.
00:00:24.710 --> 00:00:26.044
Even mental health, you become sound.
00:00:26.044 --> 00:00:28.447
And good things happen to you.
00:00:28.447 --> 00:00:31.517
Would i give up my son for you? for sinners?
00:00:31.517 --> 00:00:35.521
For people that will take him, scourge him,
00:00:35.521 --> 00:00:38.557
Put nails into his hands, his feet?
00:00:38.557 --> 00:00:40.893
God gave up his son, not to people
00:00:40.893 --> 00:00:42.794
That would treat him well--
00:00:42.794 --> 00:00:44.596
People that would nail him, spit on his face,
00:00:44.596 --> 00:00:48.100
Strip him naked, mocked him,
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:50.936
And scourged him, and then crucified him.
00:00:50.936 --> 00:00:55.174
It's the most wicked act to do with perfect love
00:00:55.174 --> 00:01:00.479
Who did nothing but went about doing good.
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.281
And yet, god took the most wicked act,
00:01:02.281 --> 00:01:07.486
The most wicked act is what happened
00:01:07.486 --> 00:01:08.921
At the cross, and god demonstrated
00:01:08.921 --> 00:01:12.591
His greatest love for you and i by putting our sins
00:01:12.591 --> 00:01:17.796
On his son.
00:01:17.796 --> 00:01:19.665
Amen?
00:01:19.665 --> 00:01:21.233
And it became the greatest testimony of love.
00:01:21.233 --> 00:01:24.169
When you see the cross now, it's a symbol of love.
00:01:24.169 --> 00:01:27.239
Now i know god loves me, why?
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.575
Because god has not withheld his son, people, his only son,
00:01:29.575 --> 00:01:34.179
The son that he loved for you, for me.
00:01:34.179 --> 00:01:37.115
He gave him up freely for us.
00:01:37.115 --> 00:01:38.917
Tears fell from my eyes as i read that,
00:01:38.917 --> 00:01:41.386
And god was showing me all this, you know?
00:01:41.386 --> 00:01:43.622
"i have not withheld my son because i love you."
00:01:43.622 --> 00:01:46.225
Announcer: what did jesus mean when he said, "it is finished?"
00:01:46.291 --> 00:01:49.494
What's finished, and what does it mean for you today?
00:01:49.494 --> 00:01:53.065
In today's message, joseph shares what it means
00:01:53.065 --> 00:01:55.400
To live under god's unmerited favor.
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.503
What if god's favor could show up
00:01:58.503 --> 00:02:00.205
In your job interview, in your parenting,
00:02:00.205 --> 00:02:03.442
In your finances, in your everyday life?
00:02:03.442 --> 00:02:07.613

00:02:09.781 --> 00:02:11.917
You couldn't open on your own,
00:02:11.917 --> 00:02:14.019
How his favor can lead you forward,
00:02:14.019 --> 00:02:16.221
Even if you feel unqualified,
00:02:16.221 --> 00:02:18.390
And how resting in jesus's finished work
00:02:18.390 --> 00:02:20.726
Can bring real peace, real success,
00:02:20.726 --> 00:02:23.362

And now, here's pastor joseph prince with today's program.
00:02:49.021 --> 00:02:52.724
Joseph prince: i've been asking the lord
00:02:52.791 --> 00:02:54.126
To just speak to all of you,
00:02:54.126 --> 00:02:58.130
The area where the season and the rhema word for the hour.
00:02:58.130 --> 00:03:05.470
But the lord keeps on bringing me back
00:03:05.470 --> 00:03:07.372
And saying that this is a season
00:03:07.372 --> 00:03:08.740
For the people to be reestablished
00:03:08.740 --> 00:03:11.343
In the gospel of grace.
00:03:11.343 --> 00:03:14.546
And the more i see it, the more i realize
00:03:14.546 --> 00:03:16.948
That people cannot just receive it one time
00:03:16.948 --> 00:03:19.318
And then, you know, they got it,
00:03:19.318 --> 00:03:21.520
Because it's so against our natural human flesh
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:31.263
To believe in the forgiveness of god,
00:03:31.263 --> 00:03:34.266
To believe that in spite of all that,
00:03:34.266 --> 00:03:37.069
You know, pastor prince has been preaching this,
00:03:37.069 --> 00:03:39.571
Some of you know this for years,
00:03:39.571 --> 00:03:41.773
But even then, when you listen to it afresh,
00:03:41.773 --> 00:03:43.975
You know that there are some things
00:03:43.975 --> 00:03:45.677
That you went through last week
00:03:45.677 --> 00:03:47.012
And all that that you find that you didn't respond
00:03:47.012 --> 00:03:49.147
The bible way.
00:03:49.147 --> 00:03:50.482
You didn't respond in the supernatural way
00:03:50.482 --> 00:03:54.186
Because we are no longer natural people.
00:03:54.186 --> 00:03:58.123
It is very natural to believe that god
00:03:58.123 --> 00:03:59.991
Has something against us,
00:03:59.991 --> 00:04:01.326
Even after he has forgiven us,
00:04:01.326 --> 00:04:02.661
Or we find ourselves hard to forgive others--
00:04:02.661 --> 00:04:07.232
One indication that you have not received
00:04:07.232 --> 00:04:08.834
The forgiveness of god.
00:04:08.834 --> 00:04:11.770
Now, first and foremost, let me just tell you this:
00:04:11.770 --> 00:04:13.972
Do you know that you have it all the time?
00:04:13.972 --> 00:04:17.476
The bible says in ephesians chapter 1, verse 6--
00:04:17.476 --> 00:04:22.681
I believe it's verse 6--
00:04:22.681 --> 00:04:24.082
It says, "in home, we have redemption."
00:04:24.082 --> 00:04:25.650
"we have," present tense.
00:04:25.650 --> 00:04:27.386
"we have redemption through his blood."
00:04:27.386 --> 00:04:30.489
The forgiveness--we don't just have redemption,
00:04:30.489 --> 00:04:32.524
We have forgiveness of sins
00:04:32.524 --> 00:04:36.027
According to the riches of his grace.
00:04:36.027 --> 00:04:38.797
Our forgiveness of sins is not like this:
00:04:38.797 --> 00:04:41.633
God gives it in a meager way, the way we forgive others.
00:04:41.633 --> 00:04:44.069
"okay, i forgive you, okay?"
00:04:44.069 --> 00:04:46.204
But, you know, we--no, it is not like this.
00:04:46.204 --> 00:04:49.007
It is according to all that he is,
00:04:49.007 --> 00:04:52.043
According to the riches of his unearned,
00:04:52.043 --> 00:04:54.112
Undeserved favor.
00:04:54.112 --> 00:04:56.715
Amen? come on.
00:04:56.715 --> 00:04:59.985
It's not out of his grace, it is according to the riches
00:04:59.985 --> 00:05:03.054
Of his grace, amen?
00:05:03.054 --> 00:05:04.423
We have the verse up here.
00:05:04.423 --> 00:05:06.057
"in him we have redemption through his blood,
00:05:06.057 --> 00:05:07.426
The forgiveness of sins,
00:05:07.426 --> 00:05:08.760
According to the riches of his grace."
00:05:08.760 --> 00:05:10.629
Do you see that?
00:05:10.629 --> 00:05:12.097
Now, how many of us believe it?
00:05:12.097 --> 00:05:13.498
You know, we-- so we have teachings
00:05:13.498 --> 00:05:16.802
That i grew up on that i realized today
00:05:16.802 --> 00:05:21.206
Is error, and it is this,
00:05:21.206 --> 00:05:24.309
That we have partial forgiveness.
00:05:24.309 --> 00:05:25.811
In other words, when we believe
00:05:25.811 --> 00:05:28.079
On the lord jesus christ, god forgave us
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.348
From the day we were born
00:05:30.348 --> 00:05:31.683
Until the day we accept jesus.
00:05:31.683 --> 00:05:33.785
So our past sins are forgiven.
00:05:33.785 --> 00:05:36.121
From now on, you receive forgiveness on an item,
00:05:36.121 --> 00:05:42.461
On a--you know, on a case-by-case basis.
00:05:42.461 --> 00:05:47.032
In other words, you must catch yourself sinning.
00:05:47.032 --> 00:05:50.702
The problem is, people only confess
00:05:50.702 --> 00:05:54.072
Or catch themselves--actually,
00:05:54.072 --> 00:05:56.608
They are playing the role of the holy spirit, right?
00:05:56.608 --> 00:05:59.578
Because no one can search you.
00:05:59.578 --> 00:06:01.246
Even david says to god, "search me, oh god,
00:06:01.246 --> 00:06:06.451
And know my heart.
00:06:06.451 --> 00:06:08.820
Search me and try me. try my ways."
00:06:08.820 --> 00:06:11.656
He didn't say, "i search myself."
00:06:11.656 --> 00:06:15.393
You are in no position to search yourself.
00:06:15.393 --> 00:06:18.129
When you search yourself or you confess your sins,
00:06:18.129 --> 00:06:20.665
Usually it's the big, big sins that you know of.
00:06:20.665 --> 00:06:24.102
But you miss the sins like i mentioned just now
00:06:24.102 --> 00:06:25.704
About complaining.
00:06:25.704 --> 00:06:27.038
Do you know complaining is a sin?
00:06:27.038 --> 00:06:29.374
And it is actually like an abomination to god.
00:06:29.374 --> 00:06:33.245
You see, that one sin robbed israel
00:06:33.245 --> 00:06:38.383
And caused a lot of people to die in the wilderness.
00:06:38.383 --> 00:06:42.821
And that complaining is something
00:06:42.821 --> 00:06:44.990
That we all take as natural.
00:06:44.990 --> 00:06:46.625
It's normal for us to complain.
00:06:46.625 --> 00:06:49.661
But other sins, we take as big sins.
00:06:49.661 --> 00:06:52.397
Depending on your culture, where you are from,
00:06:52.397 --> 00:06:54.165
Different churches, different denominations,
00:06:54.165 --> 00:06:56.334
You know, they have different views.
00:06:56.334 --> 00:06:57.836
So they are told your past sins is forgiven,
00:06:57.836 --> 00:07:00.805
But your future sins are not.
00:07:00.805 --> 00:07:02.841
Now, i don't like to use the word "past" or "future"
00:07:02.841 --> 00:07:05.310
Because god doesn't.
00:07:05.310 --> 00:07:07.312
He just says we have.
00:07:07.312 --> 00:07:09.881
Well, should i go ask the apostle paul, "excuse me,
00:07:09.881 --> 00:07:11.750
Yeah, which one are you referring to,
00:07:11.750 --> 00:07:13.685
Past or future?"
00:07:13.685 --> 00:07:15.420
The apostle paul will tell you something: jesus died
00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:17.956
In the past or your future?
00:07:17.956 --> 00:07:20.292
For all of us, you are 2,000 years too late.
00:07:20.292 --> 00:07:23.929
When jesus died on the cross, he died for you, your sins,
00:07:23.929 --> 00:07:26.665
Are all future.
00:07:26.665 --> 00:07:28.133
Even your past sins are all future.
00:07:28.133 --> 00:07:29.768
Why?
00:07:29.768 --> 00:07:31.102
It's more than 2,000 years after he died.
00:07:31.102 --> 00:07:34.205
Of course, the cross is outside time
00:07:34.205 --> 00:07:36.775
As god is outside time.
00:07:36.775 --> 00:07:38.109
The work of jesus is outside time.
00:07:38.109 --> 00:07:39.511
It's for people who live in the old covenant
00:07:39.511 --> 00:07:41.546
As well as people all the way
00:07:41.546 --> 00:07:42.881
To adam and all the way to our--wherever it is--
00:07:42.881 --> 00:07:46.351
The fullness of the time, and god says for his son
00:07:46.351 --> 00:07:49.254
To go back.
00:07:49.254 --> 00:07:50.589
All our sins are borne by jesus. amen?
00:07:50.589 --> 00:07:55.460
No, it's not only at the rapture.
00:07:55.460 --> 00:07:57.028
It goes beyond that as well. god is still working.
00:07:57.028 --> 00:07:59.598
So we don't know when the fullness that god says,
00:07:59.598 --> 00:08:02.634
"okay, enough is enough."
00:08:02.634 --> 00:08:04.202
Amen? that's the end.
00:08:04.202 --> 00:08:06.671
But for us, all our sins are borne by jesus, amen,
00:08:06.671 --> 00:08:11.142
From all our pasts, until the rapture.
00:08:11.142 --> 00:08:15.747
Praise the lord! can i have a good amen?
00:08:15.747 --> 00:08:19.584
So we must live in the knowing, in the comfort,
00:08:19.584 --> 00:08:23.455
In the joy of the love of god,
00:08:23.455 --> 00:08:26.858
Because the way love is expressed is forgiveness.
00:08:26.858 --> 00:08:30.128
If you love someone, one of the greatest ways
00:08:30.128 --> 00:08:32.197
You can let-- make the person feel loved
00:08:32.197 --> 00:08:33.865
Is to make the person feel forgiven.
00:08:33.865 --> 00:08:37.335
Some people, they love with no forgiveness.
00:08:37.335 --> 00:08:39.938
That's not love. if you love, you forgive.
00:08:39.938 --> 00:08:43.274
"now, pastor prince--" i'm talking about people
00:08:43.274 --> 00:08:45.744
That are close to you and love you and all that.
00:08:45.744 --> 00:08:47.846
Forgiveness again does not mean
00:08:47.846 --> 00:08:50.248
That you have to have the person back
00:08:50.248 --> 00:08:52.984
In the same position.
00:08:52.984 --> 00:08:54.319
Like, for example, if a boss has someone stealing
00:08:54.319 --> 00:08:57.155
From his account or whatever it is,
00:08:57.155 --> 00:08:58.957
Amen, the boss being a believer must not hold a grudge.
00:08:58.957 --> 00:09:01.493
Because why?
00:09:01.493 --> 00:09:02.827
That grudge, that bitterness, that unforgiveness will only
00:09:02.827 --> 00:09:05.864
Destroy the boss, not the person.
00:09:05.864 --> 00:09:10.535
So the boss, for his own sake, better forgive that person.
00:09:10.535 --> 00:09:14.406
You see, god didn't make you to function in hatred
00:09:14.406 --> 00:09:17.742
And bitterness and resentment and complaining.
00:09:17.742 --> 00:09:20.578
You're not designed for it.
00:09:20.578 --> 00:09:21.913
Everything in your cell, in your body, you know,
00:09:21.913 --> 00:09:23.982
In your genes, and all that,
00:09:23.982 --> 00:09:25.950
You know, they just, they cannot live like that
00:09:25.950 --> 00:09:28.620
Anymore than your car can move on water.
00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:33.692
Amen? or now electricity, okay?
00:09:33.692 --> 00:09:37.395
Whatever it is, it's not designed to do so.
00:09:37.395 --> 00:09:41.066
Some are designed to move by petrol.
00:09:41.066 --> 00:09:42.801
Some are designed to move by-- you are designed
00:09:42.801 --> 00:09:44.669
To move by love, the love of god,
00:09:44.669 --> 00:09:47.605
And then the love for one another.
00:09:47.605 --> 00:09:49.741
And that's why the greatest commandment,
00:09:49.741 --> 00:09:51.443
The only commandment that jesus gave us,
00:09:51.443 --> 00:09:53.545
Is to love one another as he loved us.
00:09:53.545 --> 00:09:56.948
That's the commandment for the believer.
00:09:56.948 --> 00:09:58.316
Why?
00:09:58.316 --> 00:09:59.651
Because it is in our nature to love.
00:09:59.651 --> 00:10:01.453
We know we have passed from death into life
00:10:01.453 --> 00:10:02.954
Because we love the brethren, amen?
00:10:02.954 --> 00:10:06.157
"no, pastor prince, i--if that's the case,
00:10:06.157 --> 00:10:07.926
Then i'm not safe because i don't really
00:10:07.926 --> 00:10:09.828
Love christians.
00:10:09.828 --> 00:10:12.097
I always find fault with them."
00:10:12.097 --> 00:10:13.431
No, your head is finding fault, your head.
00:10:13.431 --> 00:10:18.603
Deep down, deep down,
00:10:18.603 --> 00:10:20.171
Can you get up and curse them freely?
00:10:20.171 --> 00:10:22.006
No.
00:10:22.006 --> 00:10:23.374
Deep down--i'm touching the real you--
00:10:23.374 --> 00:10:25.810
If you're truly born again,
00:10:25.810 --> 00:10:27.145
You love in that place where you're born again.
00:10:27.145 --> 00:10:30.949
The love of god is shed abroad in your heart.
00:10:30.949 --> 00:10:32.484
It's there.
00:10:32.484 --> 00:10:34.219
But you have been taught wrongly.
00:10:34.219 --> 00:10:36.488
You don't attend church.
00:10:36.488 --> 00:10:37.822
You don't--your mind is not renewed by the word of god,
00:10:37.822 --> 00:10:39.491
By good teaching,
00:10:39.491 --> 00:10:40.825
You don't have right believing, and that's why you think
00:10:40.825 --> 00:10:42.427
You hate, but you don't.
00:10:42.427 --> 00:10:43.928
And all the more, that hatred or that bitterness
00:10:43.928 --> 00:10:46.197
Or that unforgiveness in your heart shows that
00:10:46.197 --> 00:10:48.633
You don't understand the forgiveness of god.
00:10:48.633 --> 00:10:50.935
God forgave you even of the bad thought
00:10:50.935 --> 00:10:52.737
You had this morning.
00:10:52.737 --> 00:10:54.072
Even when you're in church while worshipping,
00:10:54.072 --> 00:10:55.774
You had the bad thought.
00:10:55.774 --> 00:10:57.108
God forgave you for it already.
00:10:57.108 --> 00:11:00.011
And if you live in that consciousness,
00:11:00.011 --> 00:11:02.580
You'll feel the love of god.
00:11:02.580 --> 00:11:04.582
And when you feel the love of god,
00:11:04.582 --> 00:11:05.917
Something wonderful happens to you.
00:11:05.917 --> 00:11:08.586
I have a message i preached many years ago called,
00:11:08.586 --> 00:11:11.189
"good things happen to people who believe god loves them."
00:11:11.189 --> 00:11:15.226
There was a family in america, a pastor and his family.
00:11:15.226 --> 00:11:19.764
They live in a small community, and they had a special cat
00:11:19.764 --> 00:11:23.935
That was dear to the children in his family.
00:11:23.935 --> 00:11:27.539
And one day, the cat was playing outside,
00:11:27.539 --> 00:11:31.075
And, all of a sudden,
00:11:31.075 --> 00:11:32.410
The cat climbed a tall tree and got suspended in the branch.
00:11:32.410 --> 00:11:38.016
And no one could climb the tree, it was too high,
00:11:38.016 --> 00:11:39.684
And they didn't have a ladder that could reach the cat.
00:11:39.684 --> 00:11:42.921
So the father says, "i'm going to do this.
00:11:42.921 --> 00:11:45.290
I'm going to throw a rope over that branch where the cat
00:11:45.290 --> 00:11:47.725
Is hanging, okay, i'm going to tie it to my car."
00:11:47.725 --> 00:11:50.595
Oh, he's got this brilliance.
00:11:50.595 --> 00:11:51.930
You know, all pastors, they got
00:11:51.930 --> 00:11:53.264
All these kind of ideas on--amen?
00:11:53.264 --> 00:11:55.366
So he tied it to his car, all right?
00:11:55.366 --> 00:11:57.235
It start pulling the branch.
00:11:57.235 --> 00:11:59.304
"as the branch comes lower, remember, when the cat drops,
00:11:59.304 --> 00:12:03.708
As much as you can, reach out, grab the cat."
00:12:03.708 --> 00:12:06.711
So they say, "okay."
00:12:06.711 --> 00:12:08.046
All the kids are on standby to grab the cat.
00:12:08.046 --> 00:12:10.281
So the father reversed, and the rope
00:12:10.281 --> 00:12:13.952
Was tied to the branch, the branch ...
00:12:13.952 --> 00:12:17.222
Then, boom, the rope snapped.
00:12:17.222 --> 00:12:25.163
Okay, but one week later, the pastor went visiting.
00:12:25.163 --> 00:12:29.367
You know, it's a small church,
00:12:29.367 --> 00:12:31.302
And it's almost like the small community there
00:12:31.302 --> 00:12:33.571
Who are christians there.
00:12:33.571 --> 00:12:34.939
He would go visit his people, all right?
00:12:34.939 --> 00:12:38.710
So he went to this particular house,
00:12:38.710 --> 00:12:40.578
And he stepped in, he said, "how are you all?"
00:12:40.578 --> 00:12:42.547
And the lady was there, her young little daughter
00:12:42.547 --> 00:12:45.817
Was there, and the daughter
00:12:45.817 --> 00:12:47.252
Was playing with his cat.
00:12:47.252 --> 00:12:51.022
This is about one week later.
00:12:51.022 --> 00:12:52.824
And he didn't want to say anything, so he said,
00:12:52.824 --> 00:12:54.192
"hmm, nice cat over there.
00:12:54.192 --> 00:12:57.028
Where do you find the cat?"
00:12:57.028 --> 00:12:58.796
"oh, pastor, you gotta listen to this miracle story.
00:12:58.796 --> 00:13:04.903
My daughter has been pestering me to get a cat,
00:13:04.903 --> 00:13:10.742
And i said, 'no, no, no, we can't afford
00:13:10.742 --> 00:13:13.244
To just always feed the cat and take care of the cat's mess
00:13:13.244 --> 00:13:16.047
And all that, no, no.'
00:13:16.047 --> 00:13:17.448
But she keeps on pestering me, so i said, 'you know what?
00:13:17.448 --> 00:13:20.351
You believe in the lord jesus, right?
00:13:20.351 --> 00:13:21.986
You know he is a good god, right?
00:13:21.986 --> 00:13:23.922
Why don't you pray?
00:13:23.922 --> 00:13:25.957
If the lord gives you a cat, a cat, especially from heaven.'"
00:13:25.957 --> 00:13:35.566
So the child did that.
00:13:35.566 --> 00:13:37.568
See, the child prayed.
00:13:37.568 --> 00:13:38.937
The child knelt down and said, "lord, father god,
00:13:38.937 --> 00:13:42.440
I'd like to have a cat. please give me a cat.
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:47.979
I know you love me.
00:13:47.979 --> 00:13:50.882
Thank you, lord. in jesus's name, amen."
00:13:50.882 --> 00:13:54.619
It wasn't long.
00:13:54.619 --> 00:13:55.954
"they went outside the garden, and from heaven, pastor!
00:13:55.954 --> 00:14:00.792
Pastor, from heaven!
00:14:00.792 --> 00:14:03.895
I kid you not, pastor, a cat flew."
00:14:03.895 --> 00:14:07.598
You know, cats are amazing.
00:14:07.598 --> 00:14:09.100
They can fall from a high altitude,
00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:11.202
All right?
00:14:11.202 --> 00:14:12.537
They should have learned this, you know,
00:14:12.537 --> 00:14:13.871
From the beginning right now.
00:14:13.871 --> 00:14:15.206
They can fall, and they can fall in style,
00:14:15.206 --> 00:14:16.574
You know?
00:14:16.574 --> 00:14:19.077
Cats and pastor mark have a style,
00:14:19.077 --> 00:14:21.479
You know, whether they're
00:14:21.479 --> 00:14:22.880
Falling down or carrying weights, you know?
00:14:22.880 --> 00:14:25.316
"and the cat fell into our garden.
00:14:25.316 --> 00:14:27.552
Pastor, it's a miracle."
00:14:27.552 --> 00:14:30.722
Amen? true story.
00:14:30.722 --> 00:14:36.394
So i tell you this: when you feel loved,
00:14:36.394 --> 00:14:40.732
The love of god, when you sense the love of god,
00:14:40.732 --> 00:14:43.134
Good things happen in you, even in your health.
00:14:43.134 --> 00:14:47.705
You become whole.
00:14:47.705 --> 00:14:49.207
Even mental health, you become sound, amen?
00:14:49.207 --> 00:14:53.277
And good things happen to you.
00:14:53.277 --> 00:14:57.448
I find it so true.
00:14:57.448 --> 00:14:58.850
My daughter, jessica, when she was about
00:14:58.850 --> 00:15:03.855
Three years old, younger than that,
00:15:03.855 --> 00:15:05.923
I still remember she was crying.
00:15:05.923 --> 00:15:07.258
She had a viral attack. she cried and cried.
00:15:07.258 --> 00:15:09.227
We brought her to the children's hospital,
00:15:09.227 --> 00:15:12.397
And they had a blood test taken and all that,
00:15:12.397 --> 00:15:14.599
And they couldn't really figure out
00:15:14.599 --> 00:15:16.367
What was happening, and then brought her back.
00:15:16.367 --> 00:15:20.004
She was still crying, crying, crying.
00:15:20.004 --> 00:15:21.439
My heart couldn't take it, you know?
00:15:21.439 --> 00:15:23.107
It was my first child, and i really
00:15:23.107 --> 00:15:27.245
Have never faced this before,
00:15:27.245 --> 00:15:30.181
Where i prayed and nothing seems to happen.
00:15:30.181 --> 00:15:32.116
I prayed and prayed, and nothing seems to happen.
00:15:32.116 --> 00:15:33.718
And she's crying and crying like in pain.
00:15:33.718 --> 00:15:35.520
And there's nothing as a parent--
00:15:35.520 --> 00:15:36.888
You all know how it
00:15:36.888 --> 00:15:38.222
Feels like as a parent, you want to do something, amen?
00:15:38.222 --> 00:15:40.258
So i told wendy, "just take care of--bring her into the room.
00:15:40.258 --> 00:15:42.794
I need to be alone."
00:15:42.794 --> 00:15:44.195
It sounded selfish, but i think she knew
00:15:44.195 --> 00:15:46.130
That i'm going to pray.
00:15:46.130 --> 00:15:47.465
So i went to my room, closed the door,
00:15:47.465 --> 00:15:49.801
And i just wept before the lord and said,
00:15:49.801 --> 00:15:53.037
"lord, i can't take it anymore.
00:15:53.037 --> 00:15:54.372
I cannot hear her cry.
00:15:54.372 --> 00:15:55.973
Please, lord, speak to me. i need you to speak to me."
00:15:55.973 --> 00:15:58.776
So i saw my bible down there.
00:15:58.776 --> 00:16:00.545
I opened up my bible, and it fell to genesis 22.
00:16:00.545 --> 00:16:04.248
And genesis 22 is about abraham and isaac, amen?
00:16:04.248 --> 00:16:08.920
The sacrifice, that god told abraham,
00:16:08.920 --> 00:16:11.089
"offer your son, your only son.
00:16:11.089 --> 00:16:13.257
Take now your son, your only son,
00:16:13.257 --> 00:16:14.826
The son that you love, and offer him on a mountain
00:16:14.826 --> 00:16:17.228
I will show you oft."
00:16:17.228 --> 00:16:18.763
The bible says, "on the third day,
00:16:18.763 --> 00:16:20.998
He saw the place afar off.
00:16:20.998 --> 00:16:22.733
In hebrew, ha-makom, the place later on
00:16:22.733 --> 00:16:25.870
We know as the place where
00:16:25.870 --> 00:16:27.572
God is known as jehovah jireh,
00:16:27.572 --> 00:16:29.173
Where god provides for everything.
00:16:29.173 --> 00:16:30.808
It is actually the place of the cross.
00:16:30.808 --> 00:16:33.111
It is mount calvary.
00:16:33.111 --> 00:16:34.946
Mount moriah's highest peak is mount calvary.
00:16:34.946 --> 00:16:39.584
And god told abraham, "bring your child there," okay?
00:16:39.584 --> 00:16:45.056
"and there, you will sacrifice him."
00:16:45.056 --> 00:16:48.259
But only on the third day, he saw the place.
00:16:48.259 --> 00:16:52.029
So the third day is the place of the cross,
00:16:52.029 --> 00:16:55.700
The place where god becomes jehovah jireh.
00:16:55.700 --> 00:16:59.070
Through the cross, he supplies all our needs.
00:16:59.070 --> 00:17:03.441
First of all, we need salvation.
00:17:03.441 --> 00:17:05.076
He supplies that, amen?
00:17:05.076 --> 00:17:06.911
He's just jehovah jireh, the god who supplies
00:17:06.911 --> 00:17:09.480
And supplies and supplies, amen?
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.250
So as i saw that, and then i saw this part here,
00:17:12.250 --> 00:17:14.585
Which i've been preaching all down through the years
00:17:14.585 --> 00:17:17.054
Since then.
00:17:17.054 --> 00:17:18.456
I saw this where now i'm absorbed in the story that,
00:17:18.456 --> 00:17:22.226
Wait a minute, this is god talking
00:17:22.226 --> 00:17:24.295
About his son, when he told abraham,
00:17:24.295 --> 00:17:26.330
"take your son, your only son."
00:17:26.330 --> 00:17:27.665
God will one day take his son.
00:17:27.665 --> 00:17:29.300
God knew he would take his son, his only son,
00:17:29.300 --> 00:17:31.502
And offer his son in the ha-makom,
00:17:31.502 --> 00:17:33.771
The place--the same place jesus christ will be crucified
00:17:33.771 --> 00:17:39.010
So that god can be released to the forgiveness
00:17:39.010 --> 00:17:43.014
Of all our sins, to bless us with everything that is beyond--
00:17:43.014 --> 00:17:46.450
Exceeding beyond anything we can ask or think, amen?
00:17:46.450 --> 00:17:53.658
So the lord showed me that jesus carried the cross,
00:17:53.658 --> 00:17:58.663
Just like isaac carried the wood,
00:17:58.663 --> 00:18:02.200
And then asked the father the question.
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:03.901
"i see the wood, i see the fire, but daddy, abba,
00:18:03.901 --> 00:18:08.706
Where is the lamb for the sacrifice?"
00:18:08.706 --> 00:18:12.843
How that must have wrecked that old man, you know?
00:18:12.843 --> 00:18:17.715
He just looked at his son and says,
00:18:17.715 --> 00:18:21.485
"god will provide himself a lamb."
00:18:21.485 --> 00:18:24.922
Literally in the hebrew, it can mean both ways.
00:18:24.922 --> 00:18:27.291
God will provide himself a lamb, god will provide himself a lamb,
00:18:27.291 --> 00:18:31.395
Because jesus is god.
00:18:31.395 --> 00:18:32.863
He will provide himself a lamb. amen?
00:18:32.863 --> 00:18:38.336
And you all know that in that place,
00:18:38.336 --> 00:18:40.304
Exactly where-- most likely
00:18:40.304 --> 00:18:42.506
It's the highest peak of mount moriah,
00:18:42.506 --> 00:18:44.675
Mount calvary, he was about to
00:18:44.675 --> 00:18:46.310
Plunge that knife into his son, and the lord stopped him,
00:18:46.310 --> 00:18:49.780
And the lord said to him, "now i know you fear me
00:18:49.780 --> 00:18:53.584
Or you worship me because you have not
00:18:53.584 --> 00:18:56.921
Withheld your son, your only son."
00:18:56.921 --> 00:18:59.457
And i saw that, now i know god loves me.
00:18:59.457 --> 00:19:02.426
Why?
00:19:02.426 --> 00:19:03.761
Because god has not withheld his son, people, his only son,
00:19:03.761 --> 00:19:07.932
The son that he loved for you, for me.
00:19:07.932 --> 00:19:11.569
Amen? he gave him up freely for us.
00:19:11.569 --> 00:19:16.540
And tears fell from my eyes as i read that,
00:19:16.540 --> 00:19:19.410
And god was showing me all this, you know?
00:19:19.410 --> 00:19:21.779
"i have not withheld my son because i love you.
00:19:21.779 --> 00:19:24.482
That's how much i love you."
00:19:24.482 --> 00:19:25.816
And for a while, i forgot my daughter was crying.
00:19:25.816 --> 00:19:28.219
I forgot the reason i went into my room, all right,
00:19:28.219 --> 00:19:32.156
To seek god for an answer.
00:19:32.156 --> 00:19:33.924
I just felt the love of god.
00:19:33.924 --> 00:19:35.593
When i felt the love of god, it's like the lord says,
00:19:35.593 --> 00:19:40.398
"look for the crying.
00:19:40.398 --> 00:19:42.733
You look for the crying, and it's no more."
00:19:42.733 --> 00:19:45.636
Stop, and from then on, she was all right.
00:19:45.636 --> 00:19:47.972
She's healed. praise god.
00:19:47.972 --> 00:19:50.741
And today, she's healed. amen?
00:19:50.741 --> 00:19:54.211
And she has become a young, beautiful, lovely girl.
00:19:54.211 --> 00:19:58.916
Looks like her fa--amen.
00:19:58.916 --> 00:20:03.287
Both. amen.
00:20:03.287 --> 00:20:10.094
So when god gave me justin, amen,
00:20:10.161 --> 00:20:13.097
It was like now he's literally a son.
00:20:13.097 --> 00:20:17.134
I began to learn again.
00:20:17.134 --> 00:20:18.502
Every time i--my interactions with him,
00:20:18.502 --> 00:20:21.038
It's like the father and the son, amen?
00:20:21.038 --> 00:20:23.574
I love him, and i love him always.
00:20:23.574 --> 00:20:25.910
Nothing he does can change my love for him.
00:20:25.910 --> 00:20:28.546
I love him because he's my son, right?
00:20:28.546 --> 00:20:31.849
Would i give up my son for you? okay, for sinners?
00:20:31.849 --> 00:20:37.822
No, for people that will take him, scourge him,
00:20:37.822 --> 00:20:42.593
Put nails into his hands, his feet?
00:20:42.593 --> 00:20:44.862
No, no way.
00:20:44.862 --> 00:20:46.197
I'll just say, "let 'em die and go to hell."
00:20:46.197 --> 00:20:49.533
You would for your kids, too, right?
00:20:49.533 --> 00:20:52.002
But god gave up his son, not to people
00:20:52.002 --> 00:20:54.305
That would treat him well--
00:20:54.305 --> 00:20:56.107
People that would nail him, spit on his face,
00:20:56.107 --> 00:20:59.610
Strip him naked, mocked him,
00:20:59.610 --> 00:21:02.446
And scourged him, and then crucified him.
00:21:02.446 --> 00:21:06.684
It's the most wicked act to do with perfect love
00:21:06.684 --> 00:21:11.989
Who did nothing but went about doing good.
00:21:11.989 --> 00:21:13.791
And yet, god took the most wicked act,
00:21:13.791 --> 00:21:18.996
The most wicked act is what happened
00:21:18.996 --> 00:21:20.431
At the cross, and god demonstrated
00:21:20.431 --> 00:21:24.101
His greatest love for you and i by putting our sins
00:21:24.101 --> 00:21:29.306
On his son.
00:21:29.306 --> 00:21:31.175
Amen?
00:21:31.175 --> 00:21:32.743
And it became the greatest testimony of love.
00:21:32.743 --> 00:21:35.679
When you see the cross now, it's a symbol of love.
00:21:35.679 --> 00:21:39.650
Amen, you don't think of it as the most wicked act of man,
00:21:39.650 --> 00:21:42.853
But the love of god.
00:21:42.853 --> 00:21:45.256
Amen? amen?
00:21:45.256 --> 00:21:50.394
Something good happens in you or to you and around you
00:21:50.394 --> 00:21:55.266
When you sense god's love.
00:21:55.266 --> 00:21:57.601
John wesley, the founder of methodism,
00:21:57.601 --> 00:22:06.010
He has this to say. very interesting quote.
00:22:06.010 --> 00:22:09.213
It'd be good for you to remember this quote.
00:22:09.213 --> 00:22:11.182
He's a great man of god, and he knows what he's saying.
00:22:11.182 --> 00:22:14.718
He said this: "the love of god is the most powerful
00:22:14.718 --> 00:22:20.791
Of all means of health and long life."
00:22:20.791 --> 00:22:27.097
The love of god--hey, listen, he didn't just say "a means."
00:22:27.097 --> 00:22:32.336
He didn't just say "powerful means."
00:22:32.336 --> 00:22:36.207
He said it is the most powerful of all means.
00:22:36.207 --> 00:22:43.147
Whether it's medicine, operation, food, diet, exercise,
00:22:43.147 --> 00:22:48.686
Whatever it is, of all of them, the love of god
00:22:48.686 --> 00:22:53.424
Is the most powerful of all means of health
00:22:53.424 --> 00:22:57.061
And long life, amen.
00:22:57.061 --> 00:23:01.131
