  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:09.828
  • Joseph prince: you know what jesus said
  • 00:00:11.930 --> 00:00:13.165
  • When he taught on prayer?
  • 00:00:13.298 --> 00:00:14.500
  • "whatever things you desire when you pray,
  • 00:00:14.633 --> 00:00:16.235
  • Believe that you receive them and you shall have them."
  • 00:00:16.368 --> 00:00:17.369
  • Wait, wait, wait.
  • 00:00:19.004 --> 00:00:20.339
  • When do you believe you receive them;
  • 00:00:20.339 --> 00:00:21.673
  • When you see it happen,
  • 00:00:21.673 --> 00:00:23.008
  • When you touch it, you can feel it in your body,
  • 00:00:23.008 --> 00:00:25.844
  • When? when you stand praying--mark 11,
  • 00:00:25.844 --> 00:00:29.848
  • "what things soever you desire when you pray,
  • 00:00:29.848 --> 00:00:33.318
  • Believe you receive them and you shall have them."
  • 00:00:33.318 --> 00:00:37.122
  • So when do you believe you receive?
  • 00:00:37.122 --> 00:00:39.057
  • While you're praying.
  • 00:00:39.057 --> 00:00:40.392
  • I believe that when i pray god answers.
  • 00:00:40.392 --> 00:00:42.427
  • You got to have that posture that--you know,
  • 00:00:42.427 --> 00:00:44.930
  • You are redeemed by the blood of jesus.
  • 00:00:44.930 --> 00:00:47.166
  • Again, all these religious thoughts and all that--"
  • 00:00:47.166 --> 00:00:49.168
  • You know, you got to find out your sin
  • 00:00:49.168 --> 00:00:50.936
  • Before you can talk to god,
  • 00:00:50.936 --> 00:00:52.271
  • Before god can hear you and all that, you know,
  • 00:00:52.271 --> 00:00:54.006
  • And your unconfessed sin," right?
  • 00:00:54.006 --> 00:00:55.974
  • That's why i'm telling you this kind of consciousness
  • 00:00:55.974 --> 00:00:58.677
  • Can rob you of a prayer life.
  • 00:00:58.677 --> 00:01:01.213
  • You gotta know that you're forgiven of all your sins.
  • 00:01:01.213 --> 00:01:03.615
  • Announcer: tired of overthinking and second-guessing yourself?
  • 00:01:03.682 --> 00:01:06.785

  • 00:02:12.217 --> 00:02:14.853
  • With today's program.
  • 00:02:14.853 --> 00:02:16.255
  • Joseph prince: do you know that right now you are stronger,
  • 00:02:16.255 --> 00:02:18.457
  • You are healthier, you are more energized,
  • 00:02:18.457 --> 00:02:22.427
  • Amen, for having been in the presence of the lord?
  • 00:02:22.427 --> 00:02:24.730
  • You're experiencing something that the people--the galileans,
  • 00:02:24.730 --> 00:02:28.734
  • The people who followed jesus, the multitudes
  • 00:02:28.734 --> 00:02:31.937
  • That flocked to him when he was here on earth,
  • 00:02:31.937 --> 00:02:35.140
  • They sensed the presence of the lord,
  • 00:02:35.140 --> 00:02:38.310
  • The majesty of the man.
  • 00:02:38.310 --> 00:02:41.480
  • They sensed the princeliness of that carpenter,
  • 00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:47.586
  • By all outward appearances a lowly man
  • 00:02:47.586 --> 00:02:51.156
  • And yet there is such a dignity,
  • 00:02:51.156 --> 00:02:52.491
  • The bible says, excellent as the cedars of lebanon.
  • 00:02:52.491 --> 00:02:55.894
  • There's meekness and yet majesty.
  • 00:02:55.894 --> 00:02:59.064
  • I just love looking at jesus in the bible,
  • 00:02:59.064 --> 00:03:01.600
  • And to be like him--you need to understand
  • 00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:04.503
  • Why we wanna be like him because there's no one
  • 00:03:04.503 --> 00:03:06.305
  • As lovely as him.
  • 00:03:06.305 --> 00:03:08.273
  • He has no characteristic that preponderates
  • 00:03:08.273 --> 00:03:10.742
  • One is greater than the other.
  • 00:03:10.742 --> 00:03:12.444
  • You know, his meekness is not at the expense of his majesty.
  • 00:03:12.444 --> 00:03:16.148
  • He has it all in beautiful balance
  • 00:03:16.148 --> 00:03:19.951
  • In the holy sanctuary.
  • 00:03:19.951 --> 00:03:22.020
  • When he's kind, he's not soft.
  • 00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:23.789
  • I've said before. amen?
  • 00:03:23.789 --> 00:03:25.791
  • When he's zealous, he's not fanatical.
  • 00:03:25.791 --> 00:03:29.461
  • For us, we go into extremes and we are all known
  • 00:03:29.461 --> 00:03:33.165
  • For our certain character-- characteristics.
  • 00:03:33.165 --> 00:03:35.600
  • You look at solomon, he is known for his wisdom.
  • 00:03:35.600 --> 00:03:37.302
  • You look at paul, he is known for his revelation
  • 00:03:37.302 --> 00:03:41.606
  • Of the church, of the mysteries of the new testament.
  • 00:03:41.606 --> 00:03:45.377
  • You look at peter, you see a person who is very zealous
  • 00:03:45.377 --> 00:03:51.750
  • For the jewish things, for his nation israel.
  • 00:03:51.750 --> 00:03:56.722
  • Different ones have different characteristics.
  • 00:03:56.722 --> 00:03:59.691
  • All of us like that, but jesus has all of them
  • 00:03:59.691 --> 00:04:01.960
  • Altogether lovely.
  • 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:03.295
  • The bible says altogether lovely, the verse in the bible.
  • 00:04:03.295 --> 00:04:06.832
  • And i see many at times that he's not vexed.
  • 00:04:06.832 --> 00:04:10.168
  • He's not easily vexed.
  • 00:04:10.168 --> 00:04:11.503
  • Look at you and i. we are so easily vexed.
  • 00:04:11.503 --> 00:04:13.705
  • Look at him.
  • 00:04:13.705 --> 00:04:15.073
  • Every time, you know, the people will interrupt him,
  • 00:04:15.073 --> 00:04:17.342
  • And these are people who are anti him, all right?
  • 00:04:17.342 --> 00:04:20.045
  • These are not friendly people, these are people who are--
  • 00:04:20.045 --> 00:04:24.015
  • Who have animosity in their hearts towards him
  • 00:04:24.015 --> 00:04:26.251
  • And yet he's never vexed.
  • 00:04:26.251 --> 00:04:27.586
  • He's never frustrated. amen.
  • 00:04:27.586 --> 00:04:30.021
  • Sometimes he will speak sternly, especially the pharisees,
  • 00:04:30.021 --> 00:04:33.225
  • But he never speaks sternly in that way
  • 00:04:33.225 --> 00:04:35.460
  • To the tax collectors or the prostitutes
  • 00:04:35.460 --> 00:04:38.430
  • Or the sinners-- the common sinners of the day.
  • 00:04:38.430 --> 00:04:42.534
  • It's only those who are blind that jesus
  • 00:04:42.534 --> 00:04:44.336
  • Used strong words and yet such a beauty
  • 00:04:44.336 --> 00:04:47.973
  • Even in his words--even in his strong words
  • 00:04:47.973 --> 00:04:51.610
  • That gives us revelation.
  • 00:04:51.610 --> 00:04:53.412
  • And a man--he's a real man's man, a man who singlehandedly
  • 00:04:53.412 --> 00:04:58.116
  • Drove out all the money changers from the temple.
  • 00:04:58.116 --> 00:05:01.887
  • Now you know, right?
  • 00:05:01.887 --> 00:05:03.221
  • Money changer and their money, no one can separate them.
  • 00:05:03.221 --> 00:05:07.726
  • Amen. he did it singlehandedly.
  • 00:05:07.726 --> 00:05:10.061
  • He spoke two words, "follow me," and strong fishermen
  • 00:05:10.061 --> 00:05:15.133
  • Who have worked for years in the industry--look at him.
  • 00:05:15.133 --> 00:05:17.436
  • He's not a fisherman.
  • 00:05:17.436 --> 00:05:18.804
  • But two words, "follow me," that the marines have copied--
  • 00:05:18.804 --> 00:05:22.240
  • The us marines have copied down through the years.
  • 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.010
  • "follow me," and they left everything
  • 00:05:25.010 --> 00:05:26.545
  • And followed him.
  • 00:05:26.545 --> 00:05:28.180
  • "what man is this?"
  • 00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:30.715
  • That's exactly what the disciples says when he was
  • 00:05:30.715 --> 00:05:33.151
  • Sleeping at the end of the boat and there was a storm,
  • 00:05:33.151 --> 00:05:37.122
  • And he was still sleeping.
  • 00:05:37.122 --> 00:05:39.958
  • What calm, what majesty, what beauty, what peace
  • 00:05:39.958 --> 00:05:48.333
  • That you and i can have looking at this man.
  • 00:05:48.333 --> 00:05:53.505
  • When he rose from the dead, he's still the same jesus, amen.
  • 00:05:53.505 --> 00:06:00.011
  • When the bible says that we are all to be conformed
  • 00:06:00.011 --> 00:06:02.614
  • To the image of jesus, amen,
  • 00:06:02.614 --> 00:06:04.950
  • You need to know what's the image of jesus.
  • 00:06:04.950 --> 00:06:08.253
  • What kind of man is he?
  • 00:06:08.253 --> 00:06:10.689
  • A man who speaks, and it's done.
  • 00:06:10.689 --> 00:06:12.991
  • You must include that as well.
  • 00:06:12.991 --> 00:06:14.359
  • To be conformed to the image of jesus is someone
  • 00:06:14.359 --> 00:06:16.194
  • Who speaks, and it's done, amen.
  • 00:06:16.194 --> 00:06:21.967
  • And i see that parents, we need this in our lives.
  • 00:06:21.967 --> 00:06:27.072
  • Not force our will upon our children, not to make them
  • 00:06:27.072 --> 00:06:31.376
  • Obedient by threats and bribing them or blackmail,
  • 00:06:31.376 --> 00:06:35.647
  • But we speak and it's done.
  • 00:06:35.647 --> 00:06:38.250
  • The effect goes right into their hearts.
  • 00:06:38.250 --> 00:06:40.051
  • I wanna speak more on this a while on, okay?
  • 00:06:40.051 --> 00:06:42.687
  • But let's go to ecclesiastes 3:11.
  • 00:06:42.687 --> 00:06:47.158
  • He's made everything beautiful in his kairos, in his ev,
  • 00:06:47.158 --> 00:06:51.129
  • In his favorable time.
  • 00:06:51.129 --> 00:06:53.164
  • What is kairos again?
  • 00:06:53.164 --> 00:06:55.667
  • The opportune time, a time of favor, amen?
  • 00:06:55.667 --> 00:06:59.938
  • And for you, this is your inheritance.
  • 00:06:59.938 --> 00:07:02.507
  • Every kairos moment, he will make things beautiful
  • 00:07:02.507 --> 00:07:06.211
  • In your life.
  • 00:07:06.211 --> 00:07:07.546
  • Not only that, we reap-- we have been sowing,
  • 00:07:07.546 --> 00:07:10.949
  • We have been doing a lot of things,
  • 00:07:10.949 --> 00:07:12.284
  • But we see that there is no harvest, it seems, amen.
  • 00:07:12.284 --> 00:07:15.387
  • We do it for him nonetheless, right?
  • 00:07:15.387 --> 00:07:17.389
  • But we want the harvest as well because harvest meets our needs,
  • 00:07:17.389 --> 00:07:20.892
  • With plenty left over to meet the needs of others.
  • 00:07:20.892 --> 00:07:23.328
  • Am i right? but when will we reap?
  • 00:07:23.328 --> 00:07:25.497
  • The bible tells us in galatians 6
  • 00:07:25.497 --> 00:07:27.132
  • Very clearly that,
  • 00:07:27.132 --> 00:07:28.466
  • "let us not be weary while doing good,
  • 00:07:28.466 --> 00:07:30.435
  • For in due season we shall reap
  • 00:07:30.435 --> 00:07:33.238
  • If we do not lose heart."
  • 00:07:33.238 --> 00:07:35.807
  • We don't lose heart.
  • 00:07:35.807 --> 00:07:37.175
  • Now notice when will we reap? in due season.
  • 00:07:37.175 --> 00:07:40.545
  • Do you know in due season is one word in the greek?
  • 00:07:40.545 --> 00:07:44.416
  • Kairos. kairos.
  • 00:07:44.416 --> 00:07:47.686
  • When will we reap? in kairos.
  • 00:07:47.686 --> 00:07:49.821
  • When will god make things beautiful in your life?
  • 00:07:49.821 --> 00:07:52.591
  • In his kairos. amen.
  • 00:07:52.591 --> 00:07:55.193
  • We wanna live in that kairos place.
  • 00:07:55.193 --> 00:07:58.763
  • I said we wanna live in that kairos place, amen,
  • 00:07:58.763 --> 00:08:02.467
  • As much as possible, amen.
  • 00:08:02.467 --> 00:08:04.669
  • You know, the bible talks about good days and evil days, right?
  • 00:08:04.669 --> 00:08:08.907
  • Right? am i right?
  • 00:08:08.907 --> 00:08:10.241
  • Like, for example, ephesians 6 says,
  • 00:08:10.241 --> 00:08:11.676
  • "put on the armor of god
  • 00:08:11.676 --> 00:08:13.011
  • That you may be able to stand in the evil day,"
  • 00:08:13.011 --> 00:08:17.349
  • In the evil day.
  • 00:08:17.349 --> 00:08:20.151
  • The, definite article, evil day.
  • 00:08:20.151 --> 00:08:22.687
  • Day is singular.
  • 00:08:22.687 --> 00:08:24.022
  • I love it because the bible says in more than one place,
  • 00:08:24.022 --> 00:08:26.825
  • Old testament and new testament, ame--
  • 00:08:26.825 --> 00:08:29.027
  • That quotes the old testament saying
  • 00:08:29.027 --> 00:08:30.528
  • For he that will love life and see good days.
  • 00:08:30.528 --> 00:08:35.700
  • Plural.
  • 00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:37.335
  • So good days are plural for god's people.
  • 00:08:37.335 --> 00:08:42.140
  • Evil, day. good, days.
  • 00:08:42.140 --> 00:08:45.210
  • Evil, day.
  • 00:08:45.210 --> 00:08:46.578
  • So we all go through an evil day or an evil season even,
  • 00:08:46.578 --> 00:08:50.115
  • But whatever afflictions you go through
  • 00:08:50.115 --> 00:08:52.217
  • It is only for a season.
  • 00:08:52.217 --> 00:08:54.386
  • People talk about job's sufferings and all that.
  • 00:08:54.386 --> 00:08:56.054
  • It's al--it was about 9 months, scholars tell us.
  • 00:08:56.054 --> 00:08:58.189
  • About 9 months, less than a year, amen.
  • 00:08:58.189 --> 00:09:01.459
  • And god gave him double all that he lost, right?
  • 00:09:01.459 --> 00:09:06.331
  • It's--good days are upon you.
  • 00:09:06.331 --> 00:09:11.970
  • But you say, "but every time i look at the news
  • 00:09:11.970 --> 00:09:13.438
  • And all that--you know, like, evil days, pastor."
  • 00:09:13.438 --> 00:09:15.840
  • Again, you're projecting into the world.
  • 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.844
  • And not only that; worse, you are taking from the world
  • 00:09:19.844 --> 00:09:24.683
  • And putting it into your life.
  • 00:09:24.683 --> 00:09:26.851
  • Now, i'm not against people watching all these things,
  • 00:09:26.851 --> 00:09:28.653
  • But if you don't watch the word and you're watching--
  • 00:09:28.653 --> 00:09:32.190
  • You're not reading the word or spending time
  • 00:09:32.190 --> 00:09:34.292
  • In the word and you are looking at
  • 00:09:34.292 --> 00:09:35.627
  • All these things, no wonder you are depressed,
  • 00:09:35.627 --> 00:09:38.296
  • No wonder you are fearful, no wonder you don't--
  • 00:09:38.296 --> 00:09:40.699
  • No longer have the helmet of salvation--
  • 00:09:40.699 --> 00:09:42.600
  • Hope of salvation because hope means
  • 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.070
  • A positive expectation of good in your future.
  • 00:09:45.070 --> 00:09:48.473
  • Watch your mind. watch your thoughts.
  • 00:09:48.473 --> 00:09:50.742
  • And then when you are depressed, when you are--there's a--
  • 00:09:50.742 --> 00:09:53.311
  • Then you are very easily irritated.
  • 00:09:53.311 --> 00:09:55.714
  • You're not sup--you know, you don't mean to be irritated
  • 00:09:55.714 --> 00:09:58.683
  • With your spouse, but you are irritated
  • 00:09:58.683 --> 00:10:00.852
  • Because you are worried.
  • 00:10:00.852 --> 00:10:02.921
  • Your spouse doesn't know that, so your spouse responds
  • 00:10:02.921 --> 00:10:05.890
  • To your irritation and then you get more irritated
  • 00:10:05.890 --> 00:10:08.326
  • Because he doesn't understand.
  • 00:10:08.326 --> 00:10:09.661
  • Then he doesn't understand why you don't understand that he--
  • 00:10:09.661 --> 00:10:12.230
  • He tries to be understanding, then you get irritated.
  • 00:10:12.230 --> 00:10:14.966
  • All the while, the problem goes free because the problem
  • 00:10:14.966 --> 00:10:17.635
  • Is actually your worry and your care.
  • 00:10:17.635 --> 00:10:21.306
  • See, all these things that the bible teaches us makes
  • 00:10:21.306 --> 00:10:23.708
  • For a successful, beautiful, wonderful life.
  • 00:10:23.708 --> 00:10:29.781
  • He makes things beautiful in his time, amen.
  • 00:10:29.781 --> 00:10:32.717
  • If you are a person who is not easily irritated,
  • 00:10:32.717 --> 00:10:34.786
  • For example--and the bible says pray this prayer.
  • 00:10:34.786 --> 00:10:36.955
  • Paul prays this prayer. listen.
  • 00:10:36.955 --> 00:10:38.356
  • You know what prayer he prays?
  • 00:10:38.356 --> 00:10:39.724
  • He say that to be strengthened, "i pray for you all
  • 00:10:39.724 --> 00:10:42.093
  • That you be strengthened with all might by your spirit."
  • 00:10:42.093 --> 00:10:45.163
  • Wow, that sounds like there must be something--
  • 00:10:45.163 --> 00:10:48.500
  • A purpose for this.
  • 00:10:48.500 --> 00:10:49.834
  • There must be something powerful that you'll be able
  • 00:10:49.834 --> 00:10:52.036
  • To accomplish, maybe performing signs
  • 00:10:52.036 --> 00:10:53.638
  • And wonders and miracles in the lives of people.
  • 00:10:53.638 --> 00:10:56.641
  • Maybe that's it, but no.
  • 00:10:56.641 --> 00:10:58.176
  • Why strengthen with all might, with all might by yours--
  • 00:10:58.176 --> 00:11:01.379
  • By god's spirit?
  • 00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:04.182
  • You pray that prayer--it says strengthen with all might
  • 00:11:04.182 --> 00:11:07.285
  • By his spirit unto all endurance.
  • 00:11:07.285 --> 00:11:11.756
  • This is adverse circumstances.
  • 00:11:11.756 --> 00:11:14.159
  • And not only that, and patience with joy.
  • 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.028
  • Patience is towards people.
  • 00:11:17.028 --> 00:11:19.297
  • With joy--wow, that part-- i've been praying
  • 00:11:19.297 --> 00:11:22.167
  • This prayer, you know.
  • 00:11:22.167 --> 00:11:23.501
  • Some parts i get. the joy part, i haven't got.
  • 00:11:23.501 --> 00:11:26.905
  • Still working on it.
  • 00:11:26.905 --> 00:11:28.239
  • Sometimes i'm joyful, sometimes i'm not.
  • 00:11:28.239 --> 00:11:29.941
  • That means what?
  • 00:11:29.941 --> 00:11:31.276
  • Endurance towards adverse circumstances and patience
  • 00:11:31.276 --> 00:11:33.611
  • Towards difficult people, with joy.
  • 00:11:33.611 --> 00:11:37.515
  • It can only happens when the holy spirit
  • 00:11:37.515 --> 00:11:39.217
  • Strengthens you with all might, amen?
  • 00:11:39.217 --> 00:11:43.721
  • I just wanna drop one thing in your heart
  • 00:11:43.721 --> 00:11:45.924
  • About kairos, okay?
  • 00:11:45.924 --> 00:11:47.258
  • About right time, right place this year,
  • 00:11:47.258 --> 00:11:49.894
  • The thing that he wants us to do;
  • 00:11:49.894 --> 00:11:51.229
  • And this is what he said to me very strongly.
  • 00:11:51.229 --> 00:11:55.733
  • He says, "my people need to learn to pray
  • 00:11:55.733 --> 00:11:59.571
  • And get more into prayer."
  • 00:11:59.571 --> 00:12:01.105
  • Now, the moment i said that, some of you are saying,
  • 00:12:01.105 --> 00:12:02.907
  • "oh, you know, it's very hard.
  • 00:12:02.907 --> 00:12:04.242
  • I don't have the time and all that."
  • 00:12:04.242 --> 00:12:05.610
  • Because you have this religious idea
  • 00:12:05.610 --> 00:12:06.945
  • About prayer.
  • 00:12:06.945 --> 00:12:09.848
  • Your idea of prayer is that 1 hour prayer
  • 00:12:09.848 --> 00:12:12.250
  • Or 2 hours prayer.
  • 00:12:12.250 --> 00:12:13.585
  • Like you hear some men of god, they kneel down there.
  • 00:12:13.585 --> 00:12:15.720
  • They pray for 1, 2 hours, and 3 hours and whatever it is.
  • 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.756
  • "and there's no way i can do that, pastor prince."
  • 00:12:18.756 --> 00:12:20.325
  • No, i'm talking about communication with god.
  • 00:12:20.325 --> 00:12:24.028
  • The--one of the most outstanding things that the disciples
  • 00:12:24.028 --> 00:12:27.498
  • Saw about jesus is that
  • 00:12:27.498 --> 00:12:28.900
  • At any time he would talk to god,
  • 00:12:28.900 --> 00:12:31.703
  • And one time they were persecuting him
  • 00:12:31.703 --> 00:12:33.037
  • And all the--he was talking about the cities
  • 00:12:33.037 --> 00:12:35.006
  • That rejected him.
  • 00:12:35.006 --> 00:12:36.341
  • Chorazin, bethsaida, capernaum, and all that.
  • 00:12:36.341 --> 00:12:40.011
  • At that moment, he lift up his eyes and he says, "father,
  • 00:12:40.011 --> 00:12:42.046
  • I thank you that you have hidden these things from the wise
  • 00:12:42.046 --> 00:12:44.716
  • And the prudent of the world, but you have revealed them
  • 00:12:44.716 --> 00:12:47.952
  • Unto babes."
  • 00:12:47.952 --> 00:12:50.054
  • He praised his father.
  • 00:12:50.054 --> 00:12:51.522
  • "i thank thee, o father, lord of heaven and earth,
  • 00:12:51.522 --> 00:12:54.025
  • That you have hid these things from the wise and prudent
  • 00:12:54.025 --> 00:12:56.027
  • And revealed them unto babes."
  • 00:12:56.027 --> 00:12:58.897
  • And he turned to his disciples and said, "come unto me,
  • 00:12:58.897 --> 00:13:02.033
  • All you that labor and are heavy laden."
  • 00:13:02.033 --> 00:13:04.168
  • While he was being persecuted, while he was being rejected
  • 00:13:04.168 --> 00:13:07.772
  • By all these towns and villages, amen, he was rejoicing,
  • 00:13:07.772 --> 00:13:13.177
  • Talking to the father and then looking
  • 00:13:13.177 --> 00:13:15.113
  • At the disciples and says, "come unto me,
  • 00:13:15.113 --> 00:13:17.048
  • All you that labor."
  • 00:13:17.048 --> 00:13:19.183
  • The beauty of the man.
  • 00:13:19.183 --> 00:13:20.752
  • Amen? amen?
  • 00:13:20.752 --> 00:13:23.521
  • I wanna say this.
  • 00:13:23.521 --> 00:13:24.856
  • Okay, listen carefully, especially for this church
  • 00:13:24.856 --> 00:13:26.190
  • And those that are following this ministry.
  • 00:13:26.190 --> 00:13:27.692
  • Do you know that you can even allow the knowledge of grace
  • 00:13:27.692 --> 00:13:33.231
  • To stop you from praying?
  • 00:13:33.231 --> 00:13:34.799
  • Because you will say, "it's by grace, lah.
  • 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.234
  • Grace is what happen--
  • 00:13:36.234 --> 00:13:37.568
  • Grace is--" no, no, no.
  • 00:13:37.568 --> 00:13:38.903
  • Grace is the idea you cannot but the lord can.
  • 00:13:38.903 --> 00:13:44.275
  • It is actually conscious weakness.
  • 00:13:44.275 --> 00:13:47.779
  • You will always--your place of strength before god,
  • 00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:51.816
  • Your place of power before god is conscious weakness.
  • 00:13:51.816 --> 00:13:57.088
  • But don't stop there.
  • 00:13:57.088 --> 00:13:58.656
  • If you're like, "i'm so weak. i'm so weak.
  • 00:13:58.656 --> 00:14:00.358
  • I'm so weak."
  • 00:14:00.358 --> 00:14:01.693
  • No, don't stop there.
  • 00:14:01.693 --> 00:14:03.027
  • But you need to know or else
  • 00:14:03.027 --> 00:14:04.362
  • You'll be going around the mountain to learn
  • 00:14:04.362 --> 00:14:05.697
  • The lesson that you are weak.
  • 00:14:05.697 --> 00:14:07.398
  • You'll find that you'll fall and fall and fall
  • 00:14:07.398 --> 00:14:08.933
  • Until you learn that you are weak.
  • 00:14:08.933 --> 00:14:10.802
  • People think they are weak, but they're not weak enough.
  • 00:14:10.802 --> 00:14:12.804
  • That's why you cannot save a drowning person too fast.
  • 00:14:12.804 --> 00:14:15.606
  • You cannot jump into the water too fast, why?
  • 00:14:15.606 --> 00:14:17.375
  • As long he has a--he still has strength,
  • 00:14:17.375 --> 00:14:19.177
  • He will pull you down.
  • 00:14:19.177 --> 00:14:20.511
  • You must wait until he is weak. he cannot help himself.
  • 00:14:20.511 --> 00:14:23.982
  • He cannot save himself, then you can save him.
  • 00:14:23.982 --> 00:14:26.718
  • We are still quite strong.
  • 00:14:26.718 --> 00:14:28.052
  • We think we are weak, but we are not.
  • 00:14:28.052 --> 00:14:30.888
  • But we are actually weak.
  • 00:14:30.888 --> 00:14:34.592
  • That's why all these daily irritations
  • 00:14:34.592 --> 00:14:38.096
  • God allows them to come in
  • 00:14:38.096 --> 00:14:40.832
  • So that you want to be more like jesus.
  • 00:14:40.832 --> 00:14:43.634
  • One of the best things you can do
  • 00:14:43.634 --> 00:14:44.969
  • When you're arguing with your spouse
  • 00:14:44.969 --> 00:14:46.304
  • And you're impatient and all you can think of
  • 00:14:46.304 --> 00:14:47.872
  • Is her fault, his fault, her fault,
  • 00:14:47.872 --> 00:14:50.008
  • His fault, here--her fault, his fault
  • 00:14:50.008 --> 00:14:52.143
  • Is to stop and judge that irritability in you
  • 00:14:52.143 --> 00:14:56.147
  • And tell yourself, "i judge that irritableness."
  • 00:14:56.147 --> 00:14:58.349
  • "joseph prince, why are you so irritable?"
  • 00:14:58.349 --> 00:15:01.219
  • Don't talk about the rightness of the situation.
  • 00:15:01.219 --> 00:15:05.123
  • Leave that for a while.
  • 00:15:05.123 --> 00:15:06.457
  • "why are you so irritated?
  • 00:15:06.457 --> 00:15:08.026
  • Why are you so vexed?
  • 00:15:08.026 --> 00:15:09.727
  • Why are you so angry?
  • 00:15:09.727 --> 00:15:11.729
  • I don't want that in me.
  • 00:15:11.729 --> 00:15:13.164
  • I judge that."
  • 00:15:13.164 --> 00:15:18.236
  • And then you realize that has been taken
  • 00:15:18.236 --> 00:15:20.071
  • At the cross, amen.
  • 00:15:20.071 --> 00:15:23.808
  • So conscious weakness on one hand
  • 00:15:23.808 --> 00:15:26.377
  • And then dependence on god, on christ.
  • 00:15:26.377 --> 00:15:30.181
  • These are the twin pa--these are--
  • 00:15:30.181 --> 00:15:32.450
  • It's a power twin for victory in your life.
  • 00:15:32.450 --> 00:15:36.254
  • So we see the first occurrence of right time, right place,
  • 00:15:36.254 --> 00:15:39.690
  • Genesis 24, is this.
  • 00:15:39.690 --> 00:15:41.626
  • When the servant at the well, he prayed his prayer.
  • 00:15:41.626 --> 00:15:44.762
  • "then he said, 'o lord god of my master abraham,
  • 00:15:44.762 --> 00:15:48.166
  • Please give me success this day,
  • 00:15:48.166 --> 00:15:51.135
  • And show kindness to my master abraham.'"
  • 00:15:51.135 --> 00:15:53.337
  • So we all know the story.
  • 00:15:53.337 --> 00:15:54.806
  • The servant doesn't know which girl.
  • 00:15:54.806 --> 00:15:56.441
  • The village has a lot of young girls,
  • 00:15:56.441 --> 00:15:58.342
  • And they're all coming out at the same time to take water.
  • 00:15:58.342 --> 00:16:01.813
  • It was the responsibility of these young girls
  • 00:16:01.813 --> 00:16:04.148
  • To take water for the family, okay?
  • 00:16:04.148 --> 00:16:06.684
  • Usually they have two timings: early in the morning,
  • 00:16:06.684 --> 00:16:08.719
  • And in the evening, all right, when it's less hot.
  • 00:16:08.719 --> 00:16:12.290
  • And they would all come.
  • 00:16:12.290 --> 00:16:13.624
  • So at a time in the evening, the bible says, the--
  • 00:16:13.624 --> 00:16:15.960
  • Abraham's servant who was sent on an assignment
  • 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:18.629
  • By abraham to look for a bride for isaac,
  • 00:16:18.629 --> 00:16:21.666
  • Right, he sat at the well.
  • 00:16:21.666 --> 00:16:23.067
  • He doesn't know which girl, right?
  • 00:16:23.067 --> 00:16:24.435
  • So he prayed, "oh, god, give me success."
  • 00:16:24.435 --> 00:16:28.206
  • So the word there is-- the word there in the hebrew
  • 00:16:28.206 --> 00:16:32.110
  • Is qarah, qarah, all right?
  • 00:16:32.110 --> 00:16:35.446
  • Which is right happening, right happening, good happening,
  • 00:16:35.446 --> 00:16:40.151
  • Fortunate happening.
  • 00:16:40.151 --> 00:16:41.486
  • The world calls it serendipity, all right?
  • 00:16:41.486 --> 00:16:43.955
  • You happen to chance upon a favorable opportunity.
  • 00:16:43.955 --> 00:16:48.626
  • Amen?
  • 00:16:48.626 --> 00:16:50.928
  • A surprise but a pleasant surprise.
  • 00:16:50.928 --> 00:16:53.164
  • You didn't plan for this.
  • 00:16:53.164 --> 00:16:54.499
  • That is what god-- qarah is all about.
  • 00:16:54.499 --> 00:16:57.468
  • Right time, right place.
  • 00:16:57.468 --> 00:17:01.405
  • That's qarah happening to you.
  • 00:17:01.405 --> 00:17:03.141
  • So he prayed for qarah. "give me a right time."
  • 00:17:03.141 --> 00:17:05.910
  • Do you know that god actually stopped--
  • 00:17:05.910 --> 00:17:07.245
  • For some reason god actually stopped
  • 00:17:07.245 --> 00:17:09.380
  • All the young ladies from coming out?
  • 00:17:09.380 --> 00:17:11.782
  • That while he was praying-- he didn't finish his prayer yet.
  • 00:17:11.782 --> 00:17:14.152
  • He told god, "the woman that will come
  • 00:17:14.152 --> 00:17:15.887
  • And offer me water-- the young woman
  • 00:17:15.887 --> 00:17:17.688
  • That will come and offer me water--"
  • 00:17:17.688 --> 00:17:19.257
  • He thought that there would be many, many women
  • 00:17:19.257 --> 00:17:20.658
  • That would come and draw water.
  • 00:17:20.658 --> 00:17:21.993
  • "but the one that comes--lord, the one that come
  • 00:17:21.993 --> 00:17:23.361
  • And offer me water,
  • 00:17:23.361 --> 00:17:24.695
  • And not only me water but all my ten camels--"
  • 00:17:24.695 --> 00:17:28.533
  • And one camel, 30 gallons minimum, water.
  • 00:17:28.533 --> 00:17:31.702
  • Can you imagine? she will also give them water.
  • 00:17:31.702 --> 00:17:34.105
  • "she is the one that you have appointed."
  • 00:17:34.105 --> 00:17:35.473
  • He made it hard.
  • 00:17:35.473 --> 00:17:37.375
  • But while he was still speaking--
  • 00:17:37.375 --> 00:17:38.809
  • Before he finished speaking, the bible says,
  • 00:17:38.809 --> 00:17:41.012
  • Before he finished speaking-- show them verse 15.
  • 00:17:41.012 --> 00:17:42.980
  • "and it happened, before he had finished speaking,
  • 00:17:42.980 --> 00:17:44.649
  • That behold, rebekah appeared."
  • 00:17:44.649 --> 00:17:47.652
  • So i want you to know something.
  • 00:17:47.652 --> 00:17:50.154
  • We learned that prayer is mentioned with qarah.
  • 00:17:50.154 --> 00:17:59.397
  • Prayer is mentioned, and it's not a long prayer.
  • 00:17:59.397 --> 00:18:02.133
  • If you count the length of the prayer,
  • 00:18:02.133 --> 00:18:05.336
  • Some of the most powerful prayer is short prayer.
  • 00:18:05.336 --> 00:18:08.239
  • Yes, we have instances of jesus praying through the night, amen?
  • 00:18:08.239 --> 00:18:12.043
  • We have instances of certain protracted prayer
  • 00:18:12.043 --> 00:18:15.546
  • In the disciples' lives.
  • 00:18:15.546 --> 00:18:16.948
  • We have a corporate prayer. they all pray together.
  • 00:18:16.948 --> 00:18:18.983
  • But most of the prayers you see are short prayers.
  • 00:18:18.983 --> 00:18:21.652
  • -- prayer jesus taught his disciples,
  • 00:18:21.652 --> 00:18:23.654
  • "our father who art in heaven--"
  • 00:18:23.654 --> 00:18:25.022
  • You count with a stopwatch, it's fast.
  • 00:18:25.022 --> 00:18:27.925
  • But this idea--religious idea you got to spend hours in prayer
  • 00:18:27.925 --> 00:18:31.562
  • Is not from god.
  • 00:18:31.562 --> 00:18:33.264
  • At one time we made a law out of 1-hour prayer.
  • 00:18:33.264 --> 00:18:35.499
  • I still remember that. i tell you, i put a clock there.
  • 00:18:35.499 --> 00:18:39.270
  • I started praying.
  • 00:18:39.270 --> 00:18:40.771
  • I thought, "wow, 1 hour already."
  • 00:18:40.771 --> 00:18:42.173
  • I looked at my clock, 10 minutes.
  • 00:18:42.173 --> 00:18:46.277
  • But we don't do that when we are talking to our good friend,
  • 00:18:46.277 --> 00:18:48.779
  • You know, in a cafe.
  • 00:18:48.779 --> 00:18:50.514
  • We sit down there and we always say what?
  • 00:18:50.514 --> 00:18:52.450
  • "whoa, the hour just fly."
  • 00:18:52.450 --> 00:18:54.986
  • How do you think god feels?
  • 00:18:54.986 --> 00:18:56.420
  • You know, it's conve--
  • 00:18:56.420 --> 00:18:59.290
  • Prayer is conversation with god, amen.
  • 00:18:59.290 --> 00:19:02.927
  • So you don't just dream,
  • 00:19:02.927 --> 00:19:04.295
  • "by grace i'll have success, lah.
  • 00:19:04.295 --> 00:19:05.730
  • You know, by grace i'll have success."
  • 00:19:05.730 --> 00:19:07.298
  • Did you pray? i said, did you pray?
  • 00:19:07.298 --> 00:19:11.035
  • "all right, i'm gonna talk to my son afterwards.
  • 00:19:11.035 --> 00:19:12.436
  • You know, he did something just now."
  • 00:19:12.436 --> 00:19:14.338
  • Did you pray that god will give you wisdom,
  • 00:19:14.338 --> 00:19:18.476
  • Favor with him; that your words will go deep?
  • 00:19:18.476 --> 00:19:20.811
  • Did you pray?
  • 00:19:20.811 --> 00:19:22.146
  • "it's a small thing to pray."
  • 00:19:22.146 --> 00:19:23.481
  • God is telling us this is conscious weakness
  • 00:19:23.481 --> 00:19:26.183
  • That i cannot convince him, but you--only you can.
  • 00:19:26.183 --> 00:19:30.288
  • This is conscious weakness and dependence on god,
  • 00:19:30.288 --> 00:19:32.623
  • Dependence through christ
  • 00:19:32.623 --> 00:19:34.191
  • That you will get through to him, amen.
  • 00:19:34.191 --> 00:19:38.162
  • Oh, yeah, you've got to make
  • 00:19:38.162 --> 00:19:40.131
  • An important decision, you know.
  • 00:19:40.131 --> 00:19:42.166
  • In fact, i was confronted with a number
  • 00:19:42.166 --> 00:19:43.868
  • Of important decisions to make, you know,
  • 00:19:43.868 --> 00:19:46.304
  • For someone else even.
  • 00:19:46.304 --> 00:19:48.506
  • I can ask god, "god, give me wisdom."
  • 00:19:48.506 --> 00:19:50.107
  • But if i think that i'm smart, "oh, yeah, you know, --
  • 00:19:50.107 --> 00:19:52.176
  • With the pros and the cons and the pros and the cons."
  • 00:19:52.176 --> 00:19:54.879
  • All the pros and cons cannot put you at the right time
  • 00:19:54.879 --> 00:19:56.747
  • At the right place.
  • 00:19:56.747 --> 00:19:58.182
  • We shared that before. even stopping accidents.
  • 00:19:58.182 --> 00:20:00.451
  • Smart people die. professors die.
  • 00:20:00.451 --> 00:20:04.255
  • Doctors die, amen, in an accident.
  • 00:20:04.255 --> 00:20:07.692
  • It's not even their fault. other people's fault.
  • 00:20:07.692 --> 00:20:11.529
  • Wrong time, wrong place. it's not their fault.
  • 00:20:11.529 --> 00:20:16.467
  • I'm just telling you, church, we need to depend on the lord.
  • 00:20:16.467 --> 00:20:19.103
  • So the amazing thing is that
  • 00:20:19.103 --> 00:20:20.604
  • Before he had finished speaking rebekah appeared.
  • 00:20:20.604 --> 00:20:24.208
  • So even when you are praying, god has answered.
  • 00:20:24.208 --> 00:20:27.044
  • So god is outside the time zone.
  • 00:20:27.044 --> 00:20:29.380
  • He sends the answer that you're gonna pray later on in--
  • 00:20:29.380 --> 00:20:31.882
  • On this earth.
  • 00:20:31.882 --> 00:20:33.217
  • He sends the answer before you pray
  • 00:20:33.217 --> 00:20:34.752
  • Because he knows you will pray.
  • 00:20:34.752 --> 00:20:37.488
  • So the prayer that he put in your heart to pray--
  • 00:20:37.488 --> 00:20:39.623
  • You think you are praying, but actually he put it
  • 00:20:39.623 --> 00:20:41.158
  • In your heart to pray the prayer
  • 00:20:41.158 --> 00:20:42.493
  • That he wants you to pray,
  • 00:20:42.493 --> 00:20:44.662
  • And the answer is on the way.
  • 00:20:44.662 --> 00:20:46.630
  • There's a beautiful promise here in isaiah 65.
  • 00:20:46.630 --> 00:20:49.400
  • "it shall come to pass that before they call,
  • 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:51.402
  • I will answer;
  • 00:20:51.402 --> 00:20:52.737
  • While they are still speaking--" and that's what happened
  • 00:20:52.737 --> 00:20:54.605
  • To abraham's servant.
  • 00:20:54.605 --> 00:20:56.273
  • "while they are still speaking, i will answer."
  • 00:20:56.273 --> 00:20:59.510
  • You know what jesus said when he taught on prayer?
  • 00:20:59.510 --> 00:21:01.612
  • "whatever things you desire when you pray, believe that you
  • 00:21:01.612 --> 00:21:04.582
  • Receive them and you shall have them."
  • 00:21:04.582 --> 00:21:06.717
  • Wait, wait, wait.
  • 00:21:06.717 --> 00:21:08.052
  • When do you believe you receive them; when you see it happen,
  • 00:21:08.052 --> 00:21:10.621
  • When you touch it, you can feel it in your body,
  • 00:21:10.621 --> 00:21:13.724
  • You can see it outside, when the manifestation comes?
  • 00:21:13.724 --> 00:21:16.727
  • When?
  • 00:21:16.727 --> 00:21:18.062
  • When you stand praying-- mark 11, verses--verse 24,
  • 00:21:18.062 --> 00:21:22.800
  • "when you stand praying, believe--"
  • 00:21:22.800 --> 00:21:25.970
  • What it--one more time.
  • 00:21:25.970 --> 00:21:27.304
  • "what things soever you desire when you pray,
  • 00:21:27.304 --> 00:21:30.508
  • Believe you receive them and you shall have them."
  • 00:21:30.508 --> 00:21:34.245
  • So when do you believe you receive?
  • 00:21:34.245 --> 00:21:36.147
  • While you're praying. it's this.
  • 00:21:36.147 --> 00:21:38.282
  • "while they are still speaking, i will answer."
  • 00:21:38.282 --> 00:21:40.017
  • I believe that when i pray, god answers.
  • 00:21:40.017 --> 00:21:43.020
  • You got to have that posture that--you know,
  • 00:21:43.020 --> 00:21:45.556
  • You are redeemed by the blood of jesus.
  • 00:21:45.556 --> 00:21:47.825
  • Again, all these religious thoughts and all that--"
  • 00:21:47.825 --> 00:21:49.627
  • You know, you got to find out your sin
  • 00:21:49.627 --> 00:21:51.462
  • Before you can talk to god,
  • 00:21:51.462 --> 00:21:52.797
  • Before god can hear you and all that, you know,
  • 00:21:52.797 --> 00:21:54.465
  • And your unconfessed sin," right?
  • 00:21:54.465 --> 00:21:56.467
  • That's why i'm telling you this kind of consciousness
  • 00:21:56.467 --> 00:21:59.069
  • Can rob you of a prayer life.
  • 00:21:59.069 --> 00:22:01.672
  • You got to know that you're forgiven of all your sins, amen,
  • 00:22:01.672 --> 00:22:05.342
  • And thank god for that.
  • 00:22:05.342 --> 00:22:06.677
  • True confession is homologue, to say the same thing
  • 00:22:06.677 --> 00:22:08.846
  • With god about our sins.
  • 00:22:08.846 --> 00:22:10.214
  • What did god say about our sins in the new covenant?
  • 00:22:10.214 --> 00:22:12.149
  • They are all forgiven by jesus's blood.
  • 00:22:12.149 --> 00:22:14.718
  • Confess that.
  • 00:22:14.718 --> 00:22:16.921
  • The more you believe that you won't fall into sin,
  • 00:22:16.921 --> 00:22:18.989
  • I'm telling you,
  • 00:22:18.989 --> 00:22:20.391
  • Because you won't be sin conscious.
  • 00:22:20.391 --> 00:22:21.725
  • Before you fall into sin, you are sin conscious, okay?
  • 00:22:21.725 --> 00:22:26.630
  • Pray. god hears your prayer.
  • 00:22:26.630 --> 00:22:29.099
  • You're a child of god. pray.
  • 00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:31.802
  • Every situation, pray.
  • 00:22:31.802 --> 00:22:33.137
  • Be like every day--it's not so much of hours of prayer.
  • 00:22:33.137 --> 00:22:36.307
  • It is like the whole day, right?
  • 00:22:36.307 --> 00:22:38.976
  • Any situation comes up, you are praying.
  • 00:22:38.976 --> 00:22:41.145
  • You find you are lacking or something, pray.
  • 00:22:41.145 --> 00:22:43.214
  • "that pain i felt in my body, pastor prince,
  • 00:22:43.214 --> 00:22:45.216
  • Can you pray for me?"
  • 00:22:45.216 --> 00:22:46.584
  • Did you pray?
  • 00:22:46.584 --> 00:22:47.918
  • "i found out this morning and got no time to pray."
  • 00:22:47.918 --> 00:22:49.920
  • You got no time to pray. you got time to eat or not?
  • 00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:54.291
  • You got time to go toilet or not?
  • 00:22:54.291 --> 00:22:56.494
  • When you feel the urge, you do it, right?
  • 00:22:56.494 --> 00:22:58.829
  • Right? prayer is so simple.
  • 00:22:58.829 --> 00:23:03.601
  • God is so close.
  • 00:23:03.601 --> 00:23:04.935
  • Another thing that--you know, you got to demolish
  • 00:23:04.935 --> 00:23:07.571
  • All these religious thoughts.
  • 00:23:07.571 --> 00:23:08.906
  • You must get close to god. you must get close to god.
  • 00:23:08.906 --> 00:23:11.175
  • You are so close already. you are in christ.
  • 00:23:11.175 --> 00:23:14.378
  • You know where are you now?
  • 00:23:14.378 --> 00:23:15.713
  • Seated in christ at the father's right hand.
  • 00:23:15.713 --> 00:23:18.682
  • Pray. amen.
  • 00:23:18.682 --> 00:23:22.186
  • And know that while you are praying--not after,
  • 00:23:22.186 --> 00:23:24.488
  • While you are praying, god is hearing.
  • 00:23:24.488 --> 00:23:26.857
  • God is already sending the answer already.
  • 00:23:26.857 --> 00:23:28.959
  • And sometimes, just like abraham's servant, boom,
  • 00:23:28.959 --> 00:23:31.061
  • He appears right before you.
  • 00:23:31.061 --> 00:23:32.396
  • So another thing i want you to see is this.
  • 00:23:32.396 --> 00:23:34.198
  • While he was praying, he--what did he pray?
  • 00:23:34.198 --> 00:23:35.966
  • "give me--" qarah in the hebrew.
  • 00:23:35.966 --> 00:23:38.435
  • Your english bible it says success, right?
  • 00:23:38.435 --> 00:23:41.739
  • So listen, pray for success.
  • 00:23:41.739 --> 00:23:44.642
  • The amazing thing is that-- you know 3 john 1:2, all right?
  • 00:23:44.642 --> 00:23:47.511
  • It says what? 3 john 1:2 says what?
  • 00:23:47.511 --> 00:23:49.747
  • "beloved, i wish above all things that you prosper
  • 00:23:49.747 --> 00:23:52.950
  • And be in health."
  • 00:23:52.950 --> 00:23:54.285
  • Now, that's the king james version.
  • 00:23:54.285 --> 00:23:55.619
  • You know what's the word there i wish?
  • 00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:57.187
  • It's actually i pray.
  • 00:23:57.187 --> 00:23:59.123
  • It's used in other places for prayer.
  • 00:23:59.123 --> 00:24:01.325
  • Do you know you can pray?
  • 00:24:01.325 --> 00:24:02.660
  • I pray for my children, i pray for my spouse,
  • 00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:06.230
  • I pray for my church, and i pray this for you also.
  • 00:24:06.230 --> 00:24:08.332
  • I pray that you prosper and be in health
  • 00:24:08.332 --> 00:24:12.870
  • Even as your souls prosper.
  • 00:24:12.870 --> 00:24:14.772
  • The very area that you are frustrated about,
  • 00:24:14.772 --> 00:24:18.142
  • When i am weak-- not before or after,
  • 00:24:18.142 --> 00:24:20.878
  • When i am weak, then i'm strong.
  • 00:24:20.878 --> 00:24:23.647
  • But you don't realize you are strong at that point.
  • 00:24:23.647 --> 00:24:26.016
  • So the world glorifies your strength.
  • 00:24:26.016 --> 00:24:28.419
  • So we show our strength.
  • 00:24:28.419 --> 00:24:30.854
  • We don't show our weakness, we show our strength.
  • 00:24:30.854 --> 00:24:34.291
  • We build our strength. we cover up our weakness.
  • 00:24:34.291 --> 00:24:36.794
  • In the kingdom of god, it's the opposite.
  • 00:24:36.794 --> 00:24:38.596
  • Show god your weakness and his strength manifests
  • 00:24:38.596 --> 00:24:40.931
  • In that area.
  • 00:24:40.931 --> 00:24:44.501
  • Believe as you are praying, all right, god is answering.
  • 00:24:44.501 --> 00:24:48.038
  • Believe as you are speaking the words are entering.
  • 00:24:48.038 --> 00:24:50.674
