Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - What The Bible Really Says About God's Protection | July 9, 2026
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.311
- Joseph prince: the lord wants to be in the center.
- 00:00:12.655 --> 00:00:13.990
- He says, "where two or three
- 00:00:13.990 --> 00:00:16.659
- Are gathered together in my name,
- 00:00:16.659 --> 00:00:18.194
- There i am," where?
- 00:00:18.194 --> 00:00:19.662
- In the midst."
- 00:00:19.662 --> 00:00:21.798
- When christ was crucified, the father saw fit.
- 00:00:21.798 --> 00:00:24.467
- He was crucified not on the left or right
- 00:00:24.467 --> 00:00:26.469
- But in the midst.
- 00:00:26.469 --> 00:00:28.771
- When he rose from the dead, he resurrect--
- 00:00:28.771 --> 00:00:32.375
- When he was resurrected,
- 00:00:32.375 --> 00:00:33.710
- He appeared to the frightened disciples
- 00:00:33.710 --> 00:00:35.845
- In the upper room in their midst.
- 00:00:35.845 --> 00:00:39.749
- In the book of revelation, john heard a voice behind him,
- 00:00:39.749 --> 00:00:42.685
- And john turned to see the voice,
- 00:00:42.685 --> 00:00:44.320
- And he saw a lamb in the midst of the throne.
- 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.224
- He saw jesus.
- 00:00:48.224 --> 00:00:50.193
- So, the lord wants--the father wants you to put jesus
- 00:00:50.193 --> 00:00:54.197
- In the midst of your marriage.
- 00:00:54.197 --> 00:00:58.401
- You're not meant to look at each other
- 00:00:58.401 --> 00:01:00.403
- And draw from each other.
- 00:01:00.403 --> 00:01:02.172
- You're meant to draw from the lord,
- 00:01:02.172 --> 00:01:03.907
- To minister to each other.
- 00:01:03.907 --> 00:01:05.575
- Jesus is the first
- 00:01:05.675 --> 00:01:06.876
- In your situation, and he's the last one out.
- 00:01:07.010 --> 00:01:10.647
- Isaiah says this: "god's nature, you shall not go out with haste
- 00:01:10.747 --> 00:01:13.950
- Nor go by flight, for the lord will go before you.
- 00:01:14.050 --> 00:01:14.918
- And the god of israel will be your real god."
- 00:01:18.454 --> 00:01:23.359
- So god can be in any place, right?
- 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.628
- So he'll be in front of you to clear the way,
- 00:01:25.628 --> 00:01:28.431
- And don't worry, the enemies come from behind you.
- 00:01:28.431 --> 00:01:30.667
- He'll be your rear guard.
- 00:01:30.667 --> 00:01:33.903
- Don't worry about terror. god will be your rear guard.
- 00:01:33.903 --> 00:01:38.107
- I want you to feel, in a world that's unsafe,
- 00:01:38.107 --> 00:01:40.877
- That when you travel or when you--
- 00:01:40.877 --> 00:01:42.245
- Don't just think of traveling, anywhere,
- 00:01:42.245 --> 00:01:43.646
- When you get up in the morning,
- 00:01:43.646 --> 00:01:44.981
- Know the lord has gone ahead of you.
- 00:01:44.981 --> 00:01:48.184
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:01:48.184 --> 00:01:49.786
- Male announcer: the bible is god's love letter to you.
- 00:01:49.852 --> 00:01:52.422
- Come meet jesus in the word today.
- 00:01:52.422 --> 00:01:54.691
- In today's message, joseph unveils
- 00:01:54.691 --> 00:01:56.593
- How all of scripture points to the wonderful love
- 00:01:56.593 --> 00:01:58.595
- Of our lord and savior, jesus christ.
- 00:01:58.595 --> 00:02:01.197

- With today's program.
- 00:02:59.055 --> 00:03:00.390
- Joseph prince: thank god for psalms 91, amen?
- 00:03:00.390 --> 00:03:03.860
- And every one of you have put your trust in christ,
- 00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:06.763
- You dwell in the secret place of the most high,
- 00:03:06.763 --> 00:03:09.866
- Under the shadow of the almighty.
- 00:03:09.866 --> 00:03:12.201
- And of all the psalms, if you ask any jewish person,
- 00:03:12.201 --> 00:03:15.138
- "which is the psalm of protection?"
- 00:03:15.138 --> 00:03:16.472
- They'll tell you psalms 91, right?
- 00:03:16.472 --> 00:03:19.008
- And psalms 91 has promises of protection
- 00:03:19.008 --> 00:03:22.879
- For day and night.
- 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:24.647
- We are in a fallen world.
- 00:03:24.647 --> 00:03:26.582
- And in a sense, you know, everything that is man-made,
- 00:03:26.582 --> 00:03:30.119
- Even security systems that are man-made,
- 00:03:30.119 --> 00:03:32.055
- They all can fail.
- 00:03:32.055 --> 00:03:34.023
- But god can never fail.
- 00:03:34.023 --> 00:03:35.925
- I said god can never fail.
- 00:03:35.925 --> 00:03:37.827
- Hebrews 1:3, as you bring the ark out please,
- 00:03:37.827 --> 00:03:41.030
- "will bring the brightness, jesus, god's son,
- 00:03:41.030 --> 00:03:44.634
- Who bring the brightness of his glory."
- 00:03:44.634 --> 00:03:46.903
- Everyone say "brightness of his glory."
- 00:03:46.903 --> 00:03:49.972
- And now say "and the express image
- 00:03:49.972 --> 00:03:51.841
- Of his person."
- 00:03:51.841 --> 00:03:53.176
- Say "the express image of this person."
- 00:03:53.176 --> 00:03:55.178
- Now, the brightness of his glory is the goal.
- 00:03:55.178 --> 00:03:57.814
- Jesus is the brightness of god's glory.
- 00:03:57.814 --> 00:04:00.183
- You wanna see god? look at jesus.
- 00:04:00.183 --> 00:04:03.019
- He is the brightness, the outraying
- 00:04:03.019 --> 00:04:05.188
- Of god's glory, okay?
- 00:04:05.188 --> 00:04:06.789
- Now, sit back and watch this visual
- 00:04:06.789 --> 00:04:08.558
- As the ark opens up.
- 00:04:08.558 --> 00:04:14.163
- If you open up the panels, on the right, the sides,
- 00:04:14.163 --> 00:04:21.104
- Go within, go without.
- 00:04:21.104 --> 00:04:25.074
- This is what you see... the cross.
- 00:04:25.074 --> 00:04:31.981
- So, it is the person and the work of jesus.
- 00:04:31.981 --> 00:04:34.550
- Everything the father has in mind
- 00:04:34.550 --> 00:04:36.452
- Is all about jesus and the finished work.
- 00:04:36.452 --> 00:04:38.988
- It's all about jesus and the finished work.
- 00:04:38.988 --> 00:04:41.124
- And do you know that whether israel knew this or not,
- 00:04:41.124 --> 00:04:44.627
- They could not understand why the cross.
- 00:04:44.627 --> 00:04:46.596
- Because the cross was not an invention
- 00:04:46.596 --> 00:04:49.031
- During moses's time.
- 00:04:49.031 --> 00:04:50.366
- The cross is a very cruel form of execution
- 00:04:50.366 --> 00:04:53.703
- That the phoenicians, and later on the romans,
- 00:04:53.703 --> 00:04:57.006
- Got it from the phoenicians, and it's quite a modern-day
- 00:04:57.006 --> 00:05:00.243
- Compared to moses's time, okay?
- 00:05:00.243 --> 00:05:02.311
- And that's why when david prophesied
- 00:05:02.311 --> 00:05:05.114
- Before the cross-- the execution of the cross
- 00:05:05.114 --> 00:05:08.284
- Was implemented, david prophesied,
- 00:05:08.284 --> 00:05:10.653
- In david's time, 3,000 years ago,
- 00:05:10.653 --> 00:05:12.922
- David says, "they pierced my hands and my feet."
- 00:05:12.922 --> 00:05:18.127
- So, "pierce my hands and my feet" is crucifixion.
- 00:05:18.127 --> 00:05:20.596
- It was a messianic psalm that jesus--
- 00:05:20.596 --> 00:05:23.866
- Because the capital punishment at the time was stoning.
- 00:05:23.866 --> 00:05:27.603
- But this was crucifixion.
- 00:05:27.603 --> 00:05:29.705
- So god was prophesying his son.
- 00:05:29.705 --> 00:05:31.441
- Let me tell you this: the cross is the place
- 00:05:31.441 --> 00:05:33.276
- Where everything, all the attributes of god, met.
- 00:05:33.276 --> 00:05:39.615
- The bible defines god as love, but god is just.
- 00:05:39.615 --> 00:05:42.785
- So at the cross, you see his love.
- 00:05:42.785 --> 00:05:44.153
- You see his justice.
- 00:05:44.153 --> 00:05:45.555
- Because he's justice, you see jesus being punished,
- 00:05:45.555 --> 00:05:47.056
- The son that he loved, being punished.
- 00:05:47.056 --> 00:05:49.592
- But jesus did no sin. in him is no sin.
- 00:05:49.592 --> 00:05:51.727
- He knew no sin. but why was he punished?
- 00:05:51.727 --> 00:05:53.863
- Because he was carrying our sins.
- 00:05:53.863 --> 00:05:56.199
- So you see god's judgment, god did not say, "oh, he's my son.
- 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.035
- Okay, boys will be boys, never mind,
- 00:05:59.035 --> 00:06:00.837
- I sweep everything under the carpet."
- 00:06:00.837 --> 00:06:02.171
- No, because he was carrying our sins,
- 00:06:02.171 --> 00:06:04.373
- Your sins and my sins, he was punished.
- 00:06:04.373 --> 00:06:08.678
- He was judged.
- 00:06:08.678 --> 00:06:12.381
- He was cursed that you might be blessed.
- 00:06:12.381 --> 00:06:14.884
- He was rejected that you might be accepted, amen.
- 00:06:14.884 --> 00:06:18.387
- He wore a crown of thorns so that you and i today
- 00:06:18.387 --> 00:06:20.523
- Can have the peace of god guarding our hearts and minds.
- 00:06:20.523 --> 00:06:25.595
- Amen, people?
- 00:06:25.595 --> 00:06:27.129
- So, at the cross, you see god's love.
- 00:06:27.129 --> 00:06:30.299
- You see god's love, why?
- 00:06:30.299 --> 00:06:31.634
- It's not you bearing the judgment.
- 00:06:31.634 --> 00:06:34.170
- It's not you, your children suffering
- 00:06:34.170 --> 00:06:36.906
- At the cross.
- 00:06:36.906 --> 00:06:38.441
- God provided his son to be the lamb
- 00:06:38.441 --> 00:06:40.576
- That takes away your sin and also the one
- 00:06:40.576 --> 00:06:42.512
- That takes your punishment.
- 00:06:42.512 --> 00:06:43.846
- So you see, god's love blending with god's justice,
- 00:06:43.846 --> 00:06:47.083
- Righteousness, and mercy met,
- 00:06:47.083 --> 00:06:48.818
- Mercy and truth kissed at the cross.
- 00:06:48.818 --> 00:06:51.320
- At the cross, you see all the attributes of god
- 00:06:51.320 --> 00:06:54.223
- Magnified, glorified,
- 00:06:54.223 --> 00:06:55.725
- All the claims of divine holiness fully met,
- 00:06:55.725 --> 00:06:58.528
- The law of god magnified, the ten commandments honored,
- 00:06:58.528 --> 00:07:02.031
- And christ fulfilled the law.
- 00:07:02.031 --> 00:07:03.366
- We're not under the law because we break the law.
- 00:07:03.366 --> 00:07:05.835
- We're not under the law because christ fulfilled
- 00:07:05.835 --> 00:07:07.970
- The law.
- 00:07:07.970 --> 00:07:10.706
- That's why we're under grace, amen?
- 00:07:10.706 --> 00:07:12.742
- Are you blessed?
- 00:07:12.742 --> 00:07:14.076
- And the way they camp, look at the encampment
- 00:07:14.076 --> 00:07:15.845
- Of the 12 tribes of israel.
- 00:07:15.845 --> 00:07:17.179
- In the camp, god says three tribes to the north,
- 00:07:17.179 --> 00:07:19.949
- Three tribes to the west, three tribes to the east,
- 00:07:19.949 --> 00:07:22.518
- And the south part-- sorry, this is the east part.
- 00:07:22.518 --> 00:07:25.655
- The east part has the largest number of people
- 00:07:25.655 --> 00:07:27.657
- In the tribe of judah, so it's the longest.
- 00:07:27.657 --> 00:07:29.725
- So look from the helicopter point of view,
- 00:07:29.725 --> 00:07:31.861
- I do not think that the tribes knew
- 00:07:31.861 --> 00:07:33.729
- How they were camped.
- 00:07:33.729 --> 00:07:35.531
- But if you look from a helicopter point of view
- 00:07:35.531 --> 00:07:38.000
- Or a mountain point of view, you see the cross.
- 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.304
- No wonder that prophet balaam,
- 00:07:41.304 --> 00:07:43.506
- When he was hired to curse israel
- 00:07:43.506 --> 00:07:45.174
- From the mountaintop, he looked at it and says,
- 00:07:45.174 --> 00:07:47.310
- "how can i bless those whom god--
- 00:07:47.310 --> 00:07:49.745
- How can i curse those whom god has blessed?"
- 00:07:49.745 --> 00:07:52.381
- When god looks at israel, he has not beheld iniquity
- 00:07:52.381 --> 00:07:55.184
- In israel.
- 00:07:55.184 --> 00:07:57.119
- He did not say there's no iniquity,
- 00:07:57.119 --> 00:07:59.221
- No sin in israel.
- 00:07:59.221 --> 00:08:00.556
- He says, "god did not behold it," okay?
- 00:08:00.556 --> 00:08:04.193
- Our comfort is not that there's no sin in us.
- 00:08:04.193 --> 00:08:06.395
- Our comfort is that god does not see our sin.
- 00:08:06.395 --> 00:08:08.798
- Why? because god sees the blood.
- 00:08:08.798 --> 00:08:11.634
- God sees the blood of his son, hallelujah!
- 00:08:11.634 --> 00:08:14.403
- Amen, people.
- 00:08:14.403 --> 00:08:15.738
- So, this--and this is how it's camped.
- 00:08:15.738 --> 00:08:18.541
- You want to see how the names are.
- 00:08:18.541 --> 00:08:20.109
- You show them the names. these are the 12 tribes, okay?
- 00:08:20.109 --> 00:08:22.545
- Now, back in those days, the priests are to carry this
- 00:08:22.545 --> 00:08:25.348
- On their shoulders.
- 00:08:25.348 --> 00:08:26.682
- David had to learn that the hard way.
- 00:08:26.682 --> 00:08:28.017
- The priests are to carry this on their shoulders,
- 00:08:28.017 --> 00:08:29.585
- And the bible says you put poles on the feet.
- 00:08:29.585 --> 00:08:33.656
- By the way, everything described about the ark
- 00:08:33.656 --> 00:08:36.292
- Is all personified.
- 00:08:36.292 --> 00:08:38.094
- It's all, like, humanized.
- 00:08:38.094 --> 00:08:40.830
- It's all in terms of his hands,
- 00:08:40.830 --> 00:08:42.832
- At his, at h--sorry, at the side, at his side,
- 00:08:42.832 --> 00:08:46.736
- Put this, at his foot, put this.
- 00:08:46.736 --> 00:08:50.806
- Interesting, huh?
- 00:08:50.806 --> 00:08:52.174
- And by the way, you might think
- 00:08:52.174 --> 00:08:54.877
- That the author of burnt offering
- 00:08:54.877 --> 00:08:56.345
- Is the first thing mentioned in the creation
- 00:08:56.345 --> 00:08:58.881
- Of the phoenicians during moses's time,
- 00:08:58.881 --> 00:09:00.750
- But no, god mentioned the ark first.
- 00:09:00.750 --> 00:09:03.552
- God starts from inside, outside.
- 00:09:03.552 --> 00:09:06.422
- Men start from the altar of burnt offering
- 00:09:06.422 --> 00:09:08.324
- Where your sins are forgiven, and then man goes inside.
- 00:09:08.324 --> 00:09:13.295
- It's good to see god's perspective.
- 00:09:13.295 --> 00:09:15.731
- This is what jesus meant-- the place of protection, amen?
- 00:09:15.731 --> 00:09:19.635
- All right, so let's follow the story.
- 00:09:19.635 --> 00:09:22.304
- The time came when israel was about to cross
- 00:09:22.304 --> 00:09:24.073
- The river jordan, okay?
- 00:09:24.073 --> 00:09:26.075
- And this is what happened.
- 00:09:26.075 --> 00:09:27.410
- Look at this, joshua 3: "and they commanded
- 00:09:27.410 --> 00:09:29.245
- The people, saying, 'when you see the ark--'"
- 00:09:29.245 --> 00:09:31.447
- So, obviously, the ark is traveling,
- 00:09:31.447 --> 00:09:32.882
- The priests are carrying the ark covered with blue,
- 00:09:32.882 --> 00:09:35.184
- And they say, "'when you see the ark
- 00:09:35.184 --> 00:09:36.652
- Of the covenant of the lord your god,
- 00:09:36.652 --> 00:09:37.987
- And the priests, the levites, bearing it,
- 00:09:37.987 --> 00:09:39.588
- Then you shall set out from your place
- 00:09:39.588 --> 00:09:40.923
- And go after it.'"
- 00:09:40.923 --> 00:09:42.391
- Go after jesus, people!
- 00:09:42.391 --> 00:09:43.726
- When you see the ark, put your eyes on jesus
- 00:09:43.726 --> 00:09:45.861
- For you to see where he's going.
- 00:09:45.861 --> 00:09:47.196
- You need to put your eyes on him, looking off unto jesus,
- 00:09:47.196 --> 00:09:51.067
- The author and finisher of faith.
- 00:09:51.067 --> 00:09:56.072
- Look away from men, even good men.
- 00:09:56.072 --> 00:09:59.141
- Look away from pastor prince.
- 00:09:59.141 --> 00:10:01.043
- Look away from everyone but jesus.
- 00:10:01.043 --> 00:10:04.346
- Look unto him. go after him!
- 00:10:04.346 --> 00:10:07.683
- "yet there shall be a space between you and the ark,
- 00:10:07.683 --> 00:10:11.120
- About two thousand cubits by measure."
- 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:12.988
- I'm gonna tell you right now--
- 00:10:12.988 --> 00:10:14.323
- Right now, i'm going to tell you this.
- 00:10:14.323 --> 00:10:15.658
- This time when joshua was carrying the ark,
- 00:10:15.658 --> 00:10:19.428
- The priests were carrying the ark during joshua's time,
- 00:10:19.428 --> 00:10:21.363
- This is the first time israel was about to step into
- 00:10:21.363 --> 00:10:25.534
- The promised land after a long 40 years
- 00:10:25.534 --> 00:10:28.571
- Of wandering in the wilderness, okay?
- 00:10:28.571 --> 00:10:31.540
- And the first one in is the ark.
- 00:10:31.540 --> 00:10:36.612
- Okay, he went into the river jordan.
- 00:10:36.612 --> 00:10:38.380
- Do you know this place where the crossing took place?
- 00:10:38.380 --> 00:10:42.485
- It's the lowest place, the dead sea,
- 00:10:42.485 --> 00:10:44.887
- The lowest place on planet earth.
- 00:10:44.887 --> 00:10:47.923
- What is the meaning?
- 00:10:47.923 --> 00:10:49.258
- Fifteen hundred years after joshua and the priests
- 00:10:49.258 --> 00:10:52.661
- Carried the ark into the river jordan,
- 00:10:52.661 --> 00:10:54.730
- There'll come the true ark, and right at the same spot,
- 00:10:54.730 --> 00:10:58.167
- He'll be baptized.
- 00:10:58.167 --> 00:10:59.902
- And then when he comes out of the waters,
- 00:10:59.902 --> 00:11:02.004
- God will open the heavens and god will say,
- 00:11:02.004 --> 00:11:04.840
- "this, people, this is my beloved son,
- 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.177
- In whom i am well pleased."
- 00:11:08.177 --> 00:11:12.181
- Are you listening?
- 00:11:12.181 --> 00:11:13.516
- There are two times-- one time it occurred to me
- 00:11:13.516 --> 00:11:15.618
- That there are two times god said,
- 00:11:15.618 --> 00:11:16.952
- "this is my beloved son, in whom i'm well pleased."
- 00:11:16.952 --> 00:11:19.121
- Number one, in the lowest place of israel,
- 00:11:19.121 --> 00:11:22.858
- The dead sea area where the crossing took place,
- 00:11:22.858 --> 00:11:24.960
- Where he was baptized;
- 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.295
- The other one, the highest place in israel,
- 00:11:26.295 --> 00:11:28.664
- Mount hermon, when he was transfigured,
- 00:11:28.664 --> 00:11:30.933
- The father said, "this is my beloved son."
- 00:11:30.933 --> 00:11:32.868
- Okay, so, "two thousand cubits,"
- 00:11:32.868 --> 00:11:35.805
- I believe there's gonna come a time, yarden--
- 00:11:35.805 --> 00:11:38.974
- Which is jordan, means a place of death--
- 00:11:38.974 --> 00:11:41.243
- When you go into the river jordan,
- 00:11:41.243 --> 00:11:42.578
- It means a place of death.
- 00:11:42.578 --> 00:11:44.713
- You understand, amen?
- 00:11:44.713 --> 00:11:47.149
- Israel went into jordan?
- 00:11:47.149 --> 00:11:49.752
- And then, before they went in,
- 00:11:49.752 --> 00:11:51.620
- The priest would carry it, and the bible says--
- 00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:54.056
- Let's go on, we'll come back "two thousand cubits."
- 00:11:54.056 --> 00:11:56.058
- "and as those who bore the ark came to the jordan,
- 00:11:56.058 --> 00:11:58.160
- And the feet of the priests who bore the ark
- 00:11:58.160 --> 00:11:59.695
- Dipped in the edge of the water,"
- 00:11:59.695 --> 00:12:01.263
- The moment the feet of the priests
- 00:12:01.263 --> 00:12:04.333
- Touched the water, "the jordan overflows
- 00:12:04.333 --> 00:12:06.869
- All its banks."
- 00:12:06.869 --> 00:12:08.204
- It's overflowing, and during this time of harvest,
- 00:12:08.204 --> 00:12:10.072
- All right, it's like a flood, overflowing, amen.
- 00:12:10.072 --> 00:12:12.741
- But the moment the priests carrying the ark--
- 00:12:12.741 --> 00:12:14.543
- They were the first in-- they touched the water.
- 00:12:14.543 --> 00:12:17.012
- See what happened verse 16?
- 00:12:17.012 --> 00:12:18.781
- "the waters which came down from upstream,"
- 00:12:18.781 --> 00:12:21.450
- Because it's the lowest place, right, "stood still and rose
- 00:12:21.450 --> 00:12:25.187
- In a heap, very far away at adam."
- 00:12:25.187 --> 00:12:28.290
- Thirty miles away, "the city that is beside zaritan."
- 00:12:28.290 --> 00:12:33.462
- What is the meaning?
- 00:12:33.462 --> 00:12:34.797
- The ark, a picture of jesus, is the first one to go
- 00:12:34.797 --> 00:12:38.000
- Into the rivers of death.
- 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.437
- In fact, yar-den, "yar" means going down,
- 00:12:41.437 --> 00:12:43.739
- "den" means judgment.
- 00:12:43.739 --> 00:12:45.608
- He went down into judgment for all of us, okay?
- 00:12:45.608 --> 00:12:50.579
- And god slapped the river jordan...all the way,
- 00:12:50.579 --> 00:12:53.749
- Thirty miles, and the water stood in a heap.
- 00:12:53.749 --> 00:12:57.853
- No wonder the people of jericho were so afraid.
- 00:12:57.853 --> 00:13:01.824
- The giants in jericho were afraid.
- 00:13:01.824 --> 00:13:04.994
- I mean, everyone can see the heap.
- 00:13:04.994 --> 00:13:07.730
- And god slapped back the judgment.
- 00:13:07.730 --> 00:13:09.231
- Don't forget yarden, den means judgment.
- 00:13:09.231 --> 00:13:11.033
- God slapped back the judgment to the city of what?
- 00:13:11.033 --> 00:13:13.702
- At adam, a city called adam.
- 00:13:13.702 --> 00:13:15.304
- But why did god slap back the judgment all the way
- 00:13:15.304 --> 00:13:17.573
- To the city of adam?
- 00:13:17.573 --> 00:13:20.476
- God is saying everything that came from adam--
- 00:13:20.476 --> 00:13:23.145
- The death, the destruction, the judgment--
- 00:13:23.145 --> 00:13:27.116
- God slapped back at the cross and jesus went in.
- 00:13:27.116 --> 00:13:29.718
- You know, by the time israel-- 2,000 cubits away, right?
- 00:13:29.718 --> 00:13:31.921
- 2,000--cubits is like this measurement...
- 00:13:31.921 --> 00:13:33.455
- One cubit is from your elbow to your longest finger.
- 00:13:33.455 --> 00:13:37.293
- That's the measure of 1 cubit.
- 00:13:37.293 --> 00:13:39.028
- Two thousand cubits away, israel was far away.
- 00:13:39.028 --> 00:13:41.196
- Israel never touched the water, why?
- 00:13:41.196 --> 00:13:43.832
- Because the water was open already.
- 00:13:43.832 --> 00:13:46.502
- The ark went in, the water was open.
- 00:13:46.502 --> 00:13:49.104
- So the waters that went down to the sea of arabah,
- 00:13:49.104 --> 00:13:51.473
- Let's drop down to 6:17, go with 17.
- 00:13:51.473 --> 00:13:55.511
- "then the priests who bore
- 00:13:55.511 --> 00:13:56.845
- The ark of the covenant of the lord
- 00:13:56.845 --> 00:13:58.180
- Stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the jordan;
- 00:13:58.180 --> 00:14:00.616
- And all israel crossed over on dry ground."
- 00:14:00.616 --> 00:14:03.886
- Can you see that?
- 00:14:03.886 --> 00:14:05.354
- Until all the people-- say, "all the people"--
- 00:14:05.354 --> 00:14:08.324
- Had crossed completely over the jordan,
- 00:14:08.324 --> 00:14:12.261
- Not one man left behind, no one left behind.
- 00:14:12.261 --> 00:14:19.768
- I believe in eternal security because when jesus saves,
- 00:14:19.768 --> 00:14:22.805
- He saves eternally, not one left behind.
- 00:14:22.805 --> 00:14:26.842
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:14:26.842 --> 00:14:28.610
- Amen? not one left behind.
- 00:14:28.610 --> 00:14:30.512
- I love the old king james, all right, passed clean over.
- 00:14:30.512 --> 00:14:34.883
- Completely over jordan, and they all walk on dry ground, amen?
- 00:14:34.883 --> 00:14:40.489
- So, the ark--by the way, the priest was standing there
- 00:14:40.489 --> 00:14:42.624
- In the center of the river until all the people passed.
- 00:14:42.624 --> 00:14:45.594
- That tells us that jesus is the first in your situation,
- 00:14:45.594 --> 00:14:50.299
- And he's the last one out.
- 00:14:50.299 --> 00:14:51.734
- Now, when the ark is traveling--
- 00:14:51.734 --> 00:14:53.502
- Just now you saw the cross, right?
- 00:14:53.502 --> 00:14:54.837
- The way that the encampment-- where is the ark?
- 00:14:54.837 --> 00:14:56.839
- In the center, show them the encampment again.
- 00:14:56.839 --> 00:14:59.074
- Where's the ark?
- 00:14:59.074 --> 00:15:00.409
- In the center, where the cloud is,
- 00:15:00.409 --> 00:15:01.777
- In the holy of holies.
- 00:15:01.777 --> 00:15:03.112
- That's where the tabernacle was.
- 00:15:03.112 --> 00:15:04.880
- So, the lord wants to be in the center.
- 00:15:04.880 --> 00:15:06.215
- He says, "where two or three
- 00:15:06.215 --> 00:15:09.051
- Are gathered together in my name,
- 00:15:09.051 --> 00:15:10.586
- There i am," where?
- 00:15:10.586 --> 00:15:12.054
- In the midst."
- 00:15:12.054 --> 00:15:14.189
- When christ was crucified, the father saw fit.
- 00:15:14.189 --> 00:15:16.859
- He was crucified not on the left or right
- 00:15:16.859 --> 00:15:18.861
- But in the midst.
- 00:15:18.861 --> 00:15:21.163
- When he rose from the dead, he resurrect--
- 00:15:21.163 --> 00:15:24.767
- When he was resurrected,
- 00:15:24.767 --> 00:15:26.101
- He appeared to the frightened disciples
- 00:15:26.101 --> 00:15:28.237
- In the upper room in their midst.
- 00:15:28.237 --> 00:15:32.141
- In the book of revelation, john heard a voice behind him,
- 00:15:32.141 --> 00:15:35.077
- And john turned to see the voice,
- 00:15:35.077 --> 00:15:36.712
- And he saw a lamb in the midst of the throne.
- 00:15:36.712 --> 00:15:40.616
- He saw jesus.
- 00:15:40.616 --> 00:15:42.584
- So, the lord wants--the father wants you to put jesus
- 00:15:42.584 --> 00:15:46.588
- In the midst of your marriage.
- 00:15:46.588 --> 00:15:50.793
- You're not meant to look at each other
- 00:15:50.793 --> 00:15:52.795
- And draw from each other.
- 00:15:52.795 --> 00:15:54.563
- You're meant to draw from the lord,
- 00:15:54.563 --> 00:15:56.298
- To minister to each other, amen.
- 00:15:56.298 --> 00:15:59.034
- We're always self-centered.
- 00:15:59.034 --> 00:16:00.636
- "i am me, i am this, i am that, i am this, i'm that."
- 00:16:00.636 --> 00:16:03.472
- Forget yourself. you got jesus.
- 00:16:03.472 --> 00:16:06.075
- He's your supply. amen, you got no more excuse.
- 00:16:06.075 --> 00:16:11.480
- Jesus is the third party in your marriage, amen?
- 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.150
- Put jesus in the center of your studies.
- 00:16:15.150 --> 00:16:16.685
- Put jesus in the center of your career.
- 00:16:16.685 --> 00:16:18.787
- Put jesus in the center,
- 00:16:18.787 --> 00:16:20.389
- And everything will be held together, amen?
- 00:16:20.389 --> 00:16:23.492
- When they travel, you know, they travel together,
- 00:16:23.492 --> 00:16:25.294
- All in one line, right, in the desert,
- 00:16:25.294 --> 00:16:26.962
- You know where's the ark?
- 00:16:26.962 --> 00:16:28.297
- In the center.
- 00:16:28.297 --> 00:16:29.631
- But whenever there's trouble, whenever there's something,
- 00:16:29.631 --> 00:16:33.268
- All right, the ark will go in front.
- 00:16:33.268 --> 00:16:35.971
- The ark will be the first one in.
- 00:16:35.971 --> 00:16:38.707
- But the bible says, the ark will go travel
- 00:16:38.707 --> 00:16:40.642
- Three days' journey, long before the people came,
- 00:16:40.642 --> 00:16:43.612
- To seek a resting place for them.
- 00:16:43.612 --> 00:16:47.616
- So, on your part, you put him in the center.
- 00:16:47.616 --> 00:16:50.018
- On his part, he will go ahead of you
- 00:16:50.018 --> 00:16:52.054
- And prepare the way.
- 00:16:52.054 --> 00:16:53.388
- Give them isaiah.
- 00:16:53.388 --> 00:16:54.723
- Isaiah says this-- in god's nature:
- 00:16:54.723 --> 00:16:56.191
- "you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight,
- 00:16:56.191 --> 00:16:58.994
- For the lord will go before you,
- 00:16:58.994 --> 00:17:02.164
- And the god of israel will be your rear guard."
- 00:17:02.164 --> 00:17:07.102
- So god can be in any place, right?
- 00:17:07.102 --> 00:17:09.371
- So he'll be in front of you to clear the way,
- 00:17:09.371 --> 00:17:12.141
- And don't worry, the enemies come from behind you.
- 00:17:12.141 --> 00:17:14.443
- He'll be your rear guard.
- 00:17:14.443 --> 00:17:17.613
- Don't worry about terror.
- 00:17:17.613 --> 00:17:19.448
- God will be your rear guard.
- 00:17:19.448 --> 00:17:22.050
- He'll go ahead of you, and that's the thing:
- 00:17:22.050 --> 00:17:24.019
- Sometimes in my human thinking, in my natural thinking,
- 00:17:24.019 --> 00:17:28.423
- I tell myself, you know, people don't thank god
- 00:17:28.423 --> 00:17:32.361
- Until they see god deliver them.
- 00:17:32.361 --> 00:17:33.862
- For example, you are sick, the doctor says you have
- 00:17:33.862 --> 00:17:36.198
- This condition on x-ray, and then you pray to god,
- 00:17:36.198 --> 00:17:38.300
- God heals you, you go back to the doctor,
- 00:17:38.300 --> 00:17:39.968
- Doctor says, "i can't find your condition,"
- 00:17:39.968 --> 00:17:41.837
- Now you praise god, right?
- 00:17:41.837 --> 00:17:44.506
- But sometimes a condition is trying to come to you
- 00:17:44.506 --> 00:17:46.341
- Like an entity, an evil spirit, and god says no.
- 00:17:46.341 --> 00:17:49.278
- You never knew it, so you don't give god thanks.
- 00:17:49.278 --> 00:17:51.980
- So god goes ahead of you, and many times he made
- 00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:53.882
- The crooked places straight.
- 00:17:53.882 --> 00:17:55.951
- But you don't give him thanks
- 00:17:55.951 --> 00:17:57.286
- Because, for you, it's smooth sailing.
- 00:17:57.286 --> 00:17:58.987
- But actually the enemy had devices.
- 00:17:58.987 --> 00:18:01.356
- You--in fact, if the truth was known,
- 00:18:01.356 --> 00:18:02.824
- We'll thank god more than we know.
- 00:18:02.824 --> 00:18:05.694
- God is under-thanked and we are under-grateful,
- 00:18:05.694 --> 00:18:09.965
- I'll tell you that.
- 00:18:09.965 --> 00:18:11.300
- Because we only thank god-- sometimes, you know,
- 00:18:11.300 --> 00:18:12.634
- It's better for god to leave all the obstacles
- 00:18:12.634 --> 00:18:14.069
- In my human way of thinking.
- 00:18:14.069 --> 00:18:16.271
- So that, you face the obstacle,
- 00:18:16.271 --> 00:18:18.373
- You ask god to help you, god straightened the way,
- 00:18:18.373 --> 00:18:20.008
- Now you give him thanks.
- 00:18:20.008 --> 00:18:21.743
- But god is so merciful he goes ahead of you.
- 00:18:21.743 --> 00:18:24.112
- I remember when jessica was about three or four years old,
- 00:18:24.112 --> 00:18:28.016
- Her first time to disneyland,
- 00:18:28.016 --> 00:18:29.618
- You know, her eyes were like saucers.
- 00:18:29.618 --> 00:18:31.553
- She looked at all the-- the first ride we took
- 00:18:31.553 --> 00:18:34.423
- Was exactly the saucers,
- 00:18:34.423 --> 00:18:35.757
- The cup and, you know, the spinning cup?
- 00:18:35.757 --> 00:18:38.126
- And after one experience, she was like,
- 00:18:38.126 --> 00:18:39.661
- "whoa, what did i get myself into?"
- 00:18:39.661 --> 00:18:42.397
- So i saw the bit of-- the tinge of fear in her eyes,
- 00:18:42.397 --> 00:18:46.235
- And she was only a young girl, right?
- 00:18:46.235 --> 00:18:47.970
- This can be quite daunting, you know,
- 00:18:47.970 --> 00:18:49.605
- To be at a big playground with all kinds of rides.
- 00:18:49.605 --> 00:18:52.541
- So i told my wife, "i'll take the rides first.
- 00:18:52.541 --> 00:18:56.044
- I'll take the rides first."
- 00:18:56.044 --> 00:18:57.379
- So i'll take the rides first, and i'll see, like,
- 00:18:57.379 --> 00:18:59.114
- "ah, she will like this.
- 00:18:59.114 --> 00:19:00.449
- This is very cute for her at her level, her age,
- 00:19:00.449 --> 00:19:03.051
- All right?
- 00:19:03.051 --> 00:19:04.386
- Or this ride is no good, this is frightening.
- 00:19:04.386 --> 00:19:06.221
- This is scary," you know what i'm saying?
- 00:19:06.221 --> 00:19:08.123
- So, daddy will go first...
- 00:19:08.123 --> 00:19:11.526
- To clear the way for her.
- 00:19:11.526 --> 00:19:13.362
- The lord will go before you, amen?
- 00:19:13.362 --> 00:19:16.531
- And if you're afraid that people will come and snatch up
- 00:19:16.531 --> 00:19:19.468
- Something from the back,
- 00:19:19.468 --> 00:19:20.802
- You know, they come from behind you, you do not know.
- 00:19:20.802 --> 00:19:22.871
- If not--you look here, even you delay for a while,
- 00:19:22.871 --> 00:19:25.974
- Somebody come up behind you and grab first, you know?
- 00:19:25.974 --> 00:19:28.110
- So you must always grab first before other people grab,
- 00:19:28.110 --> 00:19:30.178
- You know?
- 00:19:30.178 --> 00:19:31.513
- You know, you never know they come from behind
- 00:19:31.513 --> 00:19:32.848
- Or they come from behind.
- 00:19:32.848 --> 00:19:34.316
- And it's so sad because we are brought up in this,
- 00:19:34.316 --> 00:19:36.485
- In this culture of fear,
- 00:19:36.485 --> 00:19:38.754
- Scarcity, not enough, grab-for-yourself.
- 00:19:38.754 --> 00:19:42.758
- And the lord is saying, "don't worry
- 00:19:42.758 --> 00:19:44.092
- About what comes from behind."
- 00:19:44.092 --> 00:19:45.427
- When you're driving, don't look at the rearview mirror
- 00:19:45.427 --> 00:19:47.429
- All the time.
- 00:19:47.429 --> 00:19:48.864
- If they hit you, they will pay.
- 00:19:48.864 --> 00:19:51.633
- Your job is to focus on the front,
- 00:19:51.633 --> 00:19:53.001
- That's why your windscreen is this big...
- 00:19:53.001 --> 00:19:56.338
- And your rearview mirror is this big...
- 00:19:56.338 --> 00:19:58.573
- You are meant to look forward, not backwards, okay?
- 00:19:58.573 --> 00:20:02.110
- You're meant to go ahead. god will be your rear guard.
- 00:20:02.110 --> 00:20:06.014
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:20:06.014 --> 00:20:07.382
- He'll go before you. let me illustrate.
- 00:20:07.382 --> 00:20:10.352
- When the children of israel-- many of you watched the movie
- 00:20:10.352 --> 00:20:12.521
- "ten commandments," right?
- 00:20:12.521 --> 00:20:13.855
- They all came to the...red sea,
- 00:20:13.855 --> 00:20:16.391
- And then, lo and behold, behind them they saw,
- 00:20:16.391 --> 00:20:19.027
- Like, clouds of dust as the chariots of egypt
- 00:20:19.027 --> 00:20:21.797
- Was racing towards them.
- 00:20:21.797 --> 00:20:23.432
- And now they're caught in between a rock
- 00:20:23.432 --> 00:20:25.167
- And a hard place, and they cried out to moses,
- 00:20:25.167 --> 00:20:26.835
- "did you bring us out here to die?
- 00:20:26.835 --> 00:20:28.403
- Moses, it's your fault. now they'll kill us.
- 00:20:28.403 --> 00:20:30.439
- In front of us is the sea."
- 00:20:30.439 --> 00:20:31.773
- And before god opened the sea, what happened?
- 00:20:31.773 --> 00:20:33.675
- Read exodus 14: "and the angel of god--"
- 00:20:33.675 --> 00:20:36.611
- Capital a.
- 00:20:36.611 --> 00:20:37.946
- Whenever it says "the angel of god,"
- 00:20:37.946 --> 00:20:39.281
- It's referring to jesus.
- 00:20:39.281 --> 00:20:40.615
- Now, he's not an angel, jesus is god,
- 00:20:40.615 --> 00:20:42.217
- But the word "angel" is a generic term
- 00:20:42.217 --> 00:20:44.186
- For representative of god.
- 00:20:44.186 --> 00:20:47.155
- This is his pre-incarnate form.
- 00:20:47.155 --> 00:20:49.791
- "the angel of god, who went before
- 00:20:49.791 --> 00:20:51.693
- The camp of israel, moved and went behind them;
- 00:20:51.693 --> 00:20:56.531
- And the pillar of cloud went from before them
- 00:20:56.531 --> 00:20:59.601
- And stood behind them."
- 00:20:59.601 --> 00:21:02.838
- Initially it was leading them in front,
- 00:21:02.838 --> 00:21:05.006
- And now the enemy's coming from behind.
- 00:21:05.006 --> 00:21:07.242
- Watch this...
- 00:21:07.242 --> 00:21:08.844
- It went behind.
- 00:21:08.844 --> 00:21:10.612
- To protect them from behind.
- 00:21:10.612 --> 00:21:12.547
- God is the first one leading them,
- 00:21:12.547 --> 00:21:14.282
- And he's the last one protecting them.
- 00:21:14.282 --> 00:21:16.651
- Can you see that?
- 00:21:16.651 --> 00:21:17.986
- I want you to feel in a world that is unsafe,
- 00:21:17.986 --> 00:21:20.789
- That when you travel or when you--
- 00:21:20.789 --> 00:21:22.157
- Don't just think of traveling.
- 00:21:22.157 --> 00:21:23.492
- Anywhere, when you get up in the morning,
- 00:21:23.492 --> 00:21:24.826
- Know the lord has gone ahead of you.
- 00:21:24.826 --> 00:21:27.329
- He's checked out the place.
- 00:21:27.329 --> 00:21:29.531
- He says, "son, come on."
- 00:21:29.531 --> 00:21:31.433
- Jesus saying to his sheep-- he's a good shepherd, right?
- 00:21:31.433 --> 00:21:34.035
- And what did he say to the sheep?
- 00:21:34.035 --> 00:21:35.370
- "when he brings out his own sheep,
- 00:21:35.370 --> 00:21:36.705
- He goes before them; and the sheep follow him,
- 00:21:36.705 --> 00:21:39.875
- For they know his voice."
- 00:21:39.875 --> 00:21:42.611
- When he brings out his own sheep,
- 00:21:42.611 --> 00:21:43.945
- He goes before them.
- 00:21:43.945 --> 00:21:46.815
- He goes before them, he leads them.
- 00:21:46.815 --> 00:21:49.618
- And the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
- 00:21:49.618 --> 00:21:51.953
- By the way, i'm reminded,
- 00:21:51.953 --> 00:21:53.288
- Do you know that the ark of noah, noah's boat?
- 00:21:53.288 --> 00:21:58.660
- You know, when god told them to come in--look at this,
- 00:21:58.660 --> 00:22:01.596
- Genesis: "the lord said to noah, 'come into the ark,"' come into.
- 00:22:01.596 --> 00:22:05.867
- God didn't say, "go into the ark,"
- 00:22:05.867 --> 00:22:07.569
- Like god is outside, telling them, "go into the ark."
- 00:22:07.569 --> 00:22:09.805
- No, god was the first one in
- 00:22:09.805 --> 00:22:11.139
- And god says, "come into the ark."
- 00:22:11.139 --> 00:22:14.676
- When after the floods and all that,
- 00:22:14.676 --> 00:22:17.012
- After the ark was floating, all right,
- 00:22:17.012 --> 00:22:19.815
- And finally came to a rest in ararat, the--
- 00:22:19.815 --> 00:22:24.319
- They waited for some more time for the dry--
- 00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.822
- For the land to become dry, god said in the next chapter,
- 00:22:26.822 --> 00:22:30.625
- "go out of the ark."
- 00:22:30.625 --> 00:22:32.360
- God was the last one out for god to say,
- 00:22:32.360 --> 00:22:34.629
- "go out of the ark."
- 00:22:34.629 --> 00:22:36.731
- First one in, last one out.
- 00:22:36.731 --> 00:22:40.402
- Have you learned something today?
- 00:22:40.402 --> 00:22:41.736
- Praise the lord. give him praise.
- 00:22:41.736 --> 00:22:43.071
- Hallelujah, thank you, jesus, amen.

- There is no time barrier.

- There's no distance with god.
- 00:23:21.443 --> 00:23:25.213
- God is a god outside time and space,
- 00:23:25.213 --> 00:23:27.883
- And the blessing will go into the--
- 00:23:27.883 --> 00:23:30.519
