Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - What To Do When Your Emotions Rise and Fall | November 7, 2025
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.210
- Joseph prince: you can't depend on feelings.
- 00:00:13.155 --> 00:00:15.491
- I say you cannot depend on feelings.
- 00:00:15.591 --> 00:00:17.559
- They fluctuate, but your state is a constant.
- 00:00:17.693 --> 00:00:22.865
- And what's your state? righteous, accepted.
- 00:00:22.998 --> 00:00:23.765
- And you are in the presence of god
- 00:00:26.835 --> 00:00:28.537
- In the holy of holies, perpetually.
- 00:00:28.537 --> 00:00:31.306
- Something they never had in the old testament is
- 00:00:31.306 --> 00:00:32.941
- A purged conscience.
- 00:00:32.941 --> 00:00:34.810
- The bible says that once your conscience is purged,
- 00:00:34.810 --> 00:00:39.114
- You have--okay, having purged, once-purged, right, worshipers
- 00:00:39.114 --> 00:00:42.918
- Once-purged should have had--
- 00:00:42.918 --> 00:00:44.386
- This is what "purged conscience" means--
- 00:00:44.386 --> 00:00:45.721
- Should have no more consciousness of sins.
- 00:00:45.721 --> 00:00:49.858
- And that's what god wants you to have in his presence--
- 00:00:49.858 --> 00:00:51.527
- No more consciousness of sins.
- 00:00:51.527 --> 00:00:53.328
- Male announcer: what is grace?
- 00:00:54.029 --> 00:00:55.597
- What if that's not the right question?
- 00:00:55.597 --> 00:00:57.466
- What if grace is not a what but a who with a heartbeat,
- 00:00:57.466 --> 00:01:01.837
- A voice, and a face?
- 00:01:01.837 --> 00:01:04.139
- In today's message joseph prince takes us into the scriptures
- 00:01:04.139 --> 00:01:07.309
- To encounter the lovely person of grace: jesus himself.
- 00:01:07.309 --> 00:01:11.680
- Fired up by today's message?
- 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.248
- With joseph's book "glorious grace,"
- 00:01:13.248 --> 00:01:15.450
- You can keep that fire burning.
- 00:01:15.450 --> 00:01:17.586
- With scripture-based truths that unveil all of jesus
- 00:01:17.586 --> 00:01:20.756
- In all his glory.

- 00:01:27.963 --> 00:01:33.602
- Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
- 00:01:33.669 --> 00:01:36.071
- With today's program.
- 00:01:36.071 --> 00:01:37.406
- Joseph prince: your real identity
- 00:01:37.406 --> 00:01:38.974
- Is that you're created in righteousness
- 00:01:38.974 --> 00:01:42.344
- And true holiness.
- 00:01:42.344 --> 00:01:43.745
- You're a new creation in christ. you are in christ.
- 00:01:43.745 --> 00:01:47.783
- Can i have a good amen, all right?
- 00:01:47.783 --> 00:01:49.618
- "what does it mean to be in christ, pastor prince?"
- 00:01:49.618 --> 00:01:51.253
- That means there was a man who gave everything up
- 00:01:51.253 --> 00:01:54.156
- Because of his sin.
- 00:01:54.156 --> 00:01:55.490
- God gave him everything, and he gave everything up, amen.
- 00:01:55.490 --> 00:01:58.026
- There was a man that was surrounded
- 00:01:58.026 --> 00:01:59.828
- With paradise.
- 00:01:59.828 --> 00:02:01.163
- Everything that he needed was there.
- 00:02:01.163 --> 00:02:02.497
- There was no lack, there was no sickness,
- 00:02:02.497 --> 00:02:04.066
- There was no poverty.
- 00:02:04.066 --> 00:02:05.400
- There was nothing that lacked, okay?
- 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.903
- And god gave him everything.
- 00:02:07.903 --> 00:02:09.705
- In this kind of environment where he had everything,
- 00:02:09.705 --> 00:02:13.842
- He committed high treason-- amen?--
- 00:02:13.842 --> 00:02:16.111
- And obeyed satan instead of obeying god,
- 00:02:16.111 --> 00:02:18.680
- Obeyed the one who is an epitome of hate instead of the one
- 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.750
- Who--the bible says god is love.
- 00:02:21.750 --> 00:02:24.586
- And as a result, the consequence fell.
- 00:02:24.586 --> 00:02:26.888
- The sin fell, amen?
- 00:02:26.888 --> 00:02:29.524
- Man starts to decay, starts to grow old,
- 00:02:29.524 --> 00:02:33.161
- Have sickness and disease.
- 00:02:33.161 --> 00:02:34.496
- And these are not the father's plan
- 00:02:34.496 --> 00:02:36.565
- For his family.
- 00:02:36.565 --> 00:02:37.899
- I said this is not the father's plan
- 00:02:37.899 --> 00:02:39.234
- For his family.
- 00:02:39.234 --> 00:02:40.569
- Church, we are in a fallen world.
- 00:02:40.569 --> 00:02:43.372
- But soon jesus is coming back and setting it right.
- 00:02:43.372 --> 00:02:46.441
- God cannot see sin on you,
- 00:02:46.441 --> 00:02:48.710
- Because he sees the blood of jesus
- 00:02:48.710 --> 00:02:51.713
- In his holy of holies.
- 00:02:51.713 --> 00:02:53.048
- Jesus went back to the father after he bore your sins
- 00:02:53.048 --> 00:02:55.150
- In his body, amen.
- 00:02:55.150 --> 00:02:56.485
- He did it perfectly. he shouted, "finish!"
- 00:02:56.485 --> 00:03:00.622
- Amen? he went back to the father.
- 00:03:00.622 --> 00:03:03.125
- On the third day, he was raised from the dead.
- 00:03:03.125 --> 00:03:05.460
- Now, you must understand one thing: he died,
- 00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:07.429
- Even though he's god, 100% god, he died as man.
- 00:03:07.429 --> 00:03:10.932
- He came as man and died as man. he is 100% god, 100% man.
- 00:03:10.932 --> 00:03:17.372
- Are you listening?
- 00:03:17.372 --> 00:03:18.707
- It was a man that gave up the world,
- 00:03:18.707 --> 00:03:21.009
- Gave up everything for an apple,
- 00:03:21.009 --> 00:03:24.012
- Or whatever fruit you choose to believe it was, okay?
- 00:03:24.012 --> 00:03:27.282
- Gave everything up.
- 00:03:27.282 --> 00:03:28.917
- Jesus was in an environment of wilderness,
- 00:03:28.917 --> 00:03:33.188
- Being tempted by satan, and he won over satan, amen.
- 00:03:33.188 --> 00:03:38.493
- Abraham--i mean, adam was surrounded
- 00:03:38.493 --> 00:03:40.796
- With everything beautiful and gave it up for an apple.
- 00:03:40.796 --> 00:03:43.031
- Jesus, surrounded with everything that's deserted,
- 00:03:43.031 --> 00:03:45.233
- No supply, amen, no food, and obeyed god, amen.
- 00:03:45.233 --> 00:03:53.275
- What a man.
- 00:03:53.275 --> 00:03:54.710
- So when jesus hung on that cross and cried, "it is finished!"
- 00:03:54.710 --> 00:03:58.380
- What is finished?
- 00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:00.716
- Yeah, the old covenant,
- 00:04:00.716 --> 00:04:02.050
- Where it's based on your obedience,
- 00:04:02.050 --> 00:04:04.386
- And no one can live under the old covenant of law.
- 00:04:04.386 --> 00:04:10.092
- No one can keep the law.
- 00:04:10.092 --> 00:04:12.027
- The one who say they cannot keep the law
- 00:04:12.027 --> 00:04:14.129
- Truly understands the law.
- 00:04:14.129 --> 00:04:16.431
- The law is perfect.
- 00:04:16.431 --> 00:04:17.933
- It is not just outward, but it's also inward in your thoughts.
- 00:04:17.933 --> 00:04:21.670
- You might keep it outwardly or when people are looking,
- 00:04:21.670 --> 00:04:25.107
- But you are different
- 00:04:25.107 --> 00:04:26.441
- In your thoughts and your behavior
- 00:04:26.441 --> 00:04:27.776
- When no one is looking.
- 00:04:27.776 --> 00:04:29.111
- That is not keeping the law. so no one can keep the law.
- 00:04:29.111 --> 00:04:32.247
- Let's admit it.
- 00:04:32.247 --> 00:04:35.584
- For by the law, no flesh shall be justified,
- 00:04:35.584 --> 00:04:38.520
- The bible says.
- 00:04:38.520 --> 00:04:39.988
- So god knew that man cannot live under the law.
- 00:04:39.988 --> 00:04:41.723
- God sent his son to establish grace!
- 00:04:41.723 --> 00:04:47.229
- So when christ died on the cross and cried, "finished,"
- 00:04:47.229 --> 00:04:49.865
- One of the things is that the law is fulfilled.
- 00:04:49.865 --> 00:04:55.036
- Jesus didn't finish the law by breaking the law for us
- 00:04:55.036 --> 00:04:57.606
- And say--or destroying the law.
- 00:04:57.606 --> 00:04:58.940
- He says, "think not i am come to destroy the law.
- 00:04:58.940 --> 00:05:02.010
- I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill."
- 00:05:02.010 --> 00:05:05.480
- Has it been fulfilled? yes.
- 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.449
- Where? at the cross.
- 00:05:07.449 --> 00:05:09.751
- All your lawlessness and your broken--
- 00:05:09.751 --> 00:05:12.053
- Your law breaking and all that was borne by jesus at the cross.
- 00:05:12.053 --> 00:05:16.324
- He paid the price, and the law is satisfied.
- 00:05:16.324 --> 00:05:19.694
- For the law to demand justice and payment
- 00:05:19.694 --> 00:05:24.499
- From you today or else it will curse you,
- 00:05:24.499 --> 00:05:26.935
- It will punish you, will be unjust.
- 00:05:26.935 --> 00:05:30.906
- And the law is magnified.
- 00:05:30.906 --> 00:05:32.774
- That's why the phrase "the law is magnified"
- 00:05:32.774 --> 00:05:34.476
- Has got to do with the cross.
- 00:05:34.476 --> 00:05:36.545
- The law is magnified.
- 00:05:36.545 --> 00:05:38.346
- Jesus said, "thy law is within my heart," amen.
- 00:05:38.346 --> 00:05:41.650
- That's why the ark of the covenant
- 00:05:41.650 --> 00:05:43.118
- Has the ten commandments inside.
- 00:05:43.118 --> 00:05:45.120
- Only he can keep it.
- 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.722
- And he fulfilled it at the cross for all of us.
- 00:05:47.722 --> 00:05:50.358
- We are no more under the law; we are under grace.
- 00:05:50.358 --> 00:05:52.794
- What's grace?
- 00:05:52.794 --> 00:05:54.129
- Grace--if you are under the covenant,
- 00:05:54.129 --> 00:05:56.298
- There is an if.
- 00:05:56.298 --> 00:05:57.732
- "if you obey, i will bless you.
- 00:05:57.732 --> 00:05:59.100
- If you disobey, i will curse you," all right?
- 00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:02.471
- But under the new covenant, there are no ifs.
- 00:06:02.471 --> 00:06:05.807
- God says, "i will be this to you, and you will.
- 00:06:05.807 --> 00:06:10.879
- I'll be your god, and you will be my people," amen.
- 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:15.150
- There was a time god hides his face from israel,
- 00:06:15.150 --> 00:06:17.686
- The period of lo-ammi, "no more my people";
- 00:06:17.686 --> 00:06:22.224
- Lo-ruhamah, "no more mercy."
- 00:06:22.224 --> 00:06:24.392
- But god says, "through christ, now you are now my people.
- 00:06:24.392 --> 00:06:28.129
- You have now obtained mercy."
- 00:06:28.129 --> 00:06:30.432
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:06:30.432 --> 00:06:31.833
- All right, so we have a very beautiful picture
- 00:06:31.833 --> 00:06:34.569
- Of the second man, amen, and this second man,
- 00:06:34.569 --> 00:06:37.239
- When he arose from the dead, please understand:
- 00:06:37.239 --> 00:06:39.274
- He died on the cross as man, all right,
- 00:06:39.274 --> 00:06:43.211
- And he rose from the dead as man.
- 00:06:43.211 --> 00:06:47.182
- By the way, when he died on the cross,
- 00:06:47.182 --> 00:06:48.717
- Not only he bore our sins, he also bore us.
- 00:06:48.717 --> 00:06:53.388
- We were crucified with him.
- 00:06:53.388 --> 00:06:55.223
- That part of you, the old man that loves to sin,
- 00:06:55.223 --> 00:06:58.927
- That has been crucified at the cross.
- 00:06:58.927 --> 00:07:01.830
- It is finished.
- 00:07:01.830 --> 00:07:03.164
- "knowing this," romans 6:6,
- 00:07:03.164 --> 00:07:04.499
- "our old man was crucified with him--
- 00:07:04.499 --> 00:07:06.601
- That the body of sin might be nullified,"
- 00:07:06.601 --> 00:07:09.504
- Done away, ineffective.
- 00:07:09.504 --> 00:07:11.973
- So today the christian still has this, right?
- 00:07:11.973 --> 00:07:14.976
- Your biggest problem-- say "amen" if you agree--
- 00:07:14.976 --> 00:07:17.679
- Your biggest problem is not so much
- 00:07:17.679 --> 00:07:19.180
- The sins that you have committed.
- 00:07:19.180 --> 00:07:20.782
- It is more this uprising of lust,
- 00:07:20.782 --> 00:07:23.385
- This outbreak of temper.
- 00:07:23.385 --> 00:07:25.186
- Sometimes you think that, "wow, i've just come out from church,
- 00:07:25.186 --> 00:07:27.455
- And i feel so good, and i cannot sin anymore."
- 00:07:27.455 --> 00:07:29.558
- Then the next thing you know, you...
- 00:07:29.558 --> 00:07:32.994
- Say something that you shouldn't have said.
- 00:07:32.994 --> 00:07:34.396
- You lost your temper.
- 00:07:34.396 --> 00:07:35.730
- It is this uprising that you feel inside, right?
- 00:07:35.730 --> 00:07:39.134
- Is that your problem?
- 00:07:39.134 --> 00:07:40.869
- If that's not your problem,
- 00:07:40.869 --> 00:07:42.203
- I suspect you are born again, amen?
- 00:07:42.203 --> 00:07:45.974
- Because only christians don't like
- 00:07:45.974 --> 00:07:47.309
- This kind of thing, amen.
- 00:07:47.309 --> 00:07:48.843
- The world will say, "i feel nothing.
- 00:07:48.843 --> 00:07:50.879
- It's all the same.
- 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.747
- In fact, i don't know what i am."
- 00:07:52.747 --> 00:07:55.216
- Only you will know this is not you.
- 00:07:55.216 --> 00:07:56.718
- This is not you. you don't like it.
- 00:07:56.718 --> 00:07:58.053
- And worse, it intrudes into your most private, holy moments
- 00:07:58.053 --> 00:08:02.624
- When you're praying, even.
- 00:08:02.624 --> 00:08:05.160
- You're thinking, "how can i think those thoughts?"
- 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.128
- Child of god, is this true? let's encourage each other.
- 00:08:07.128 --> 00:08:10.932
- Are you all having the same experience?
- 00:08:10.932 --> 00:08:13.802
- Amen, then it intrudes even in your sleep.
- 00:08:13.802 --> 00:08:16.705
- The worst is your sleep, all right?
- 00:08:16.705 --> 00:08:18.707
- You feel like getting up.
- 00:08:18.707 --> 00:08:20.041
- "i rebuke those thoughts. how can i think those thoughts?"
- 00:08:20.041 --> 00:08:21.776
- It could be blasphemous thoughts.
- 00:08:21.776 --> 00:08:23.111
- It could be bad thoughts. and you're shocked.
- 00:08:23.111 --> 00:08:28.049
- It could be an evil spirit-- all right?--
- 00:08:28.049 --> 00:08:30.285
- Attacking and putting those thoughts.
- 00:08:30.285 --> 00:08:32.287
- It's still from outside.
- 00:08:32.287 --> 00:08:33.622
- But if it feels from inside, it's your flesh--
- 00:08:33.622 --> 00:08:36.057
- That part of you that is not you.
- 00:08:36.057 --> 00:08:37.993
- God never sees you in your flesh.
- 00:08:37.993 --> 00:08:40.362
- Write that down somewhere.
- 00:08:40.362 --> 00:08:41.696
- God never sees you in your flesh.
- 00:08:41.696 --> 00:08:43.031
- God sees you in your spirit.
- 00:08:43.031 --> 00:08:44.366
- Romans 8 tells us you are not in--
- 00:08:44.366 --> 00:08:46.901
- If you are in the-- if christ be in you,
- 00:08:46.901 --> 00:08:49.871
- All right, the body is dead because of sin
- 00:08:49.871 --> 00:08:51.640
- But the spirit is alive because of righteousness--
- 00:08:51.640 --> 00:08:53.875
- Amen?--and the bible says, "you are not in the flesh,
- 00:08:53.875 --> 00:08:57.112
- But in the spirit," romans 8.
- 00:08:57.112 --> 00:08:59.147
- You are not in the flesh; you are in the spirit.
- 00:08:59.147 --> 00:09:02.117
- What does that mean?
- 00:09:02.117 --> 00:09:03.451
- All that is true of the second adam
- 00:09:03.451 --> 00:09:04.919
- Is now true of you.
- 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:06.287
- As he is, so am i in this world. not as he was.
- 00:09:06.287 --> 00:09:10.892
- As he was is good enough--
- 00:09:10.892 --> 00:09:12.227
- When jesus walked by the sea of galilee, you know?
- 00:09:12.227 --> 00:09:14.095
- "oh, if i'm as he was, it's good enough."
- 00:09:14.095 --> 00:09:16.631
- But, no, god is referring to the christ
- 00:09:16.631 --> 00:09:18.967
- That has been enthroned and glorified at his right hand.
- 00:09:18.967 --> 00:09:22.537
- As he is, so are we in this world.
- 00:09:22.537 --> 00:09:26.174
- Are you listening?
- 00:09:26.174 --> 00:09:27.509
- Now, you are being elevated in your thinking.
- 00:09:27.509 --> 00:09:31.746
- This is the kind of thinking that is holy thinking.
- 00:09:31.746 --> 00:09:35.216
- It is thinking in line with the new testament.
- 00:09:35.216 --> 00:09:37.185
- It's thinking in line with the way god wants you to think
- 00:09:37.185 --> 00:09:39.487
- Because god thinks that way.
- 00:09:39.487 --> 00:09:40.822
- God thinks of you not as down there.
- 00:09:40.822 --> 00:09:42.490
- God thinks of you in his right hand, in christ.
- 00:09:42.490 --> 00:09:48.096
- When god's eyes see blood, god's eyes cannot see sin.
- 00:09:48.096 --> 00:09:52.600
- If ever, if ever today in heaven--by the way,
- 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.737
- You know that the blood of jesus has been sprinkled in heaven?
- 00:09:55.737 --> 00:09:58.973
- In the book of hebrews, it says jesus went in
- 00:09:58.973 --> 00:10:02.177
- With his own blood.
- 00:10:02.177 --> 00:10:03.511
- Now, listen, he rose from the dead.
- 00:10:03.511 --> 00:10:06.614
- He conquered death as man because the work is finished.
- 00:10:06.614 --> 00:10:11.186
- So death has no more claim.
- 00:10:11.186 --> 00:10:12.654
- So he rose from the dead on the third day as what?
- 00:10:12.654 --> 00:10:15.023
- Man.
- 00:10:15.023 --> 00:10:16.357
- Listen, listen, and then god raised him all the way up
- 00:10:16.357 --> 00:10:19.627
- Bodily, you know, in that new body
- 00:10:19.627 --> 00:10:21.062
- That can never grow old, never decay, never die, amen?
- 00:10:21.062 --> 00:10:24.766
- He went up to heaven, and he was glorified.
- 00:10:24.766 --> 00:10:28.303
- The father welcomed him, and he sat down.
- 00:10:28.303 --> 00:10:30.805
- And the bible says, in hebrews, the reason he sat down
- 00:10:30.805 --> 00:10:33.908
- Is not because he is god.
- 00:10:33.908 --> 00:10:35.310
- That, he always is.
- 00:10:35.310 --> 00:10:38.346
- The bible says, "having purged our sins,
- 00:10:38.346 --> 00:10:41.649
- He sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high."
- 00:10:41.649 --> 00:10:45.120
- And that's why, in hebrews 10, it says--right?--
- 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:49.057
- That once he has purged our sins by his body,
- 00:10:49.057 --> 00:10:52.227
- We are all sanctified once and for all, amen?
- 00:10:52.227 --> 00:10:56.131
- And he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever.
- 00:10:56.131 --> 00:10:58.733
- "having offered one sacrifice"--
- 00:10:58.733 --> 00:11:00.435
- Say "one sacrifice for sins forever"--
- 00:11:00.435 --> 00:11:03.404
- Sat down, sat down on the right hand--
- 00:11:03.404 --> 00:11:07.308
- Same as chapter 1 of hebrews, amen.
- 00:11:07.308 --> 00:11:11.312
- "having purged our sins, sat down."
- 00:11:11.312 --> 00:11:14.616
- Now, listen, the same person that bore the most sins
- 00:11:14.616 --> 00:11:20.321
- In the entire history of man--
- 00:11:20.321 --> 00:11:23.324
- There never was a person that bore more sins.
- 00:11:23.324 --> 00:11:27.262
- There never was a person who can bear sins, lah,
- 00:11:27.262 --> 00:11:28.997
- By the way, but if you talk about every filth,
- 00:11:28.997 --> 00:11:31.633
- Every uncleanness,
- 00:11:31.633 --> 00:11:32.967
- The person that bore all these sins in his own body--
- 00:11:32.967 --> 00:11:36.070
- Amen?--on the cross is jesus christ.
- 00:11:36.070 --> 00:11:39.140
- The fact that he can, right now, in his resurrection,
- 00:11:39.140 --> 00:11:43.178
- Walk into heaven by his blood, and the father glorifies him.
- 00:11:43.178 --> 00:11:49.017
- The father says, "sit on my right hand
- 00:11:49.017 --> 00:11:50.351
- Until i make your enemies your footstool."
- 00:11:50.351 --> 00:11:52.754
- That means what? where are all the sins?
- 00:11:52.754 --> 00:11:55.256
- Where are all the sins that he bore a few days ago?
- 00:11:55.256 --> 00:11:57.592
- Where are all the sins? whose sins are those sins?
- 00:11:57.592 --> 00:12:00.795
- Whose sins are those? whose sins are those sins?
- 00:12:00.795 --> 00:12:03.331
- Come on. hey, talk to me, people!
- 00:12:03.331 --> 00:12:05.033
- Come on. talk to me.
- 00:12:05.033 --> 00:12:07.335
- Come on.
- 00:12:07.335 --> 00:12:08.736
- Whose sins are those that he bore?
- 00:12:08.736 --> 00:12:10.371
- But where is it now?
- 00:12:10.371 --> 00:12:11.773
- When he stepped into the father's right hand
- 00:12:11.773 --> 00:12:14.008
- And the father says, "you are my son.
- 00:12:14.008 --> 00:12:15.476
- This day have i begotten thee.
- 00:12:15.476 --> 00:12:17.078
- Sit on my right hand until i make your enemies
- 00:12:17.078 --> 00:12:18.913
- Your footstool.
- 00:12:18.913 --> 00:12:20.248
- You are a priest forever
- 00:12:20.248 --> 00:12:21.583
- After the order of melchizedek--"
- 00:12:21.583 --> 00:12:22.917
- Having purged our sins, he sat down.
- 00:12:22.917 --> 00:12:24.752
- "purge" means cleanse. our sins cleansed.
- 00:12:24.752 --> 00:12:28.756
- You know how we know?
- 00:12:28.756 --> 00:12:30.458
- Jesus seated at the father's right hand.
- 00:12:30.458 --> 00:12:33.995
- Just before he sat down at the father's right hand,
- 00:12:33.995 --> 00:12:35.597
- Just a few days ago, just a few days ago,
- 00:12:35.597 --> 00:12:41.236
- He was carrying our sins-- hm?--on that cross.
- 00:12:41.236 --> 00:12:49.444
- Today where are the sins? gone!
- 00:12:49.444 --> 00:12:52.547
- And that's why he can go in.
- 00:12:52.547 --> 00:12:53.882
- Listen, you must have the same mentality.
- 00:12:53.882 --> 00:12:57.285
- Where there's remission or forgiveness of sins,
- 00:12:57.285 --> 00:12:59.387
- Where sins are put aside by his blood,
- 00:12:59.387 --> 00:13:01.756
- We must have boldness to enter the holiest.
- 00:13:01.756 --> 00:13:04.392
- Actually, listen carefully: it is not so much--
- 00:13:04.392 --> 00:13:07.996
- It's writing to the hebrews, telling them, "come near."
- 00:13:07.996 --> 00:13:10.932
- For us, we are already near.
- 00:13:10.932 --> 00:13:14.469
- That's why we are called the body of christ.
- 00:13:14.469 --> 00:13:16.004
- You know where is the body of christ today?
- 00:13:16.004 --> 00:13:17.338
- At the father's right hand,
- 00:13:17.338 --> 00:13:18.673
- The right center of the universe.
- 00:13:18.673 --> 00:13:20.008
- We are the body of christ.
- 00:13:20.008 --> 00:13:21.342
- We are the many-membered body of christ.
- 00:13:21.342 --> 00:13:22.677
- It's like--to you, it's like, this sounds so metaphorical
- 00:13:22.677 --> 00:13:27.081
- And so out-there and all that.
- 00:13:27.081 --> 00:13:29.417
- With god, it is the reality.
- 00:13:29.417 --> 00:13:31.152
- Your experiences every day is more, like, metaphorical
- 00:13:31.152 --> 00:13:34.689
- And all that.
- 00:13:34.689 --> 00:13:36.391
- This is the reality.
- 00:13:36.391 --> 00:13:38.960
- You see, if god ever-- the blood of jesus
- 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.529
- Has been sprinkled at the father's right hand
- 00:13:41.529 --> 00:13:42.864
- Just now.
- 00:13:42.864 --> 00:13:44.198
- I said that, right?
- 00:13:44.198 --> 00:13:45.533
- The bible says jesus went in with his own blood,
- 00:13:45.533 --> 00:13:46.968
- Not with the blood of bulls and goats
- 00:13:46.968 --> 00:13:49.170
- Like they did in the old testament.
- 00:13:49.170 --> 00:13:50.505
- That's why they got to reapply the blood, reapply the blood,
- 00:13:50.505 --> 00:13:52.874
- Reapply the blood,
- 00:13:52.874 --> 00:13:54.208
- Because their work is never finished.
- 00:13:54.208 --> 00:13:56.878
- It's not sufficient.
- 00:13:56.878 --> 00:13:58.279
- The blood of bulls and goats cannot wash away sins.
- 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.783
- But he went in once with his own blood,
- 00:14:01.783 --> 00:14:06.554
- Having obtained eternal redemption--
- 00:14:06.554 --> 00:14:09.357
- Do you see the word "eternal"?-- redemption for us, okay?
- 00:14:09.357 --> 00:14:14.662
- Is the blood still there?
- 00:14:14.662 --> 00:14:16.998
- Then you have been perfected, and perfected without ceasing.
- 00:14:16.998 --> 00:14:21.502
- Is the blood there?
- 00:14:21.502 --> 00:14:23.237
- Then you are made righteous,
- 00:14:23.237 --> 00:14:25.406
- And you are righteous in god's eyes without ceasing.
- 00:14:25.406 --> 00:14:28.509
- If ever you can remove the blood--
- 00:14:28.509 --> 00:14:29.844
- And god's eye is on the blood.
- 00:14:29.844 --> 00:14:31.179
- It's not on man.
- 00:14:31.179 --> 00:14:32.513
- Listen carefully: god's eye is not on man's sin.
- 00:14:32.513 --> 00:14:34.282
- I'm talking about believers, okay?
- 00:14:34.282 --> 00:14:35.883
- Not on your sin. god's eye is on the blood.
- 00:14:35.883 --> 00:14:37.752
- If ever, if ever-- which is not possible, okay?--
- 00:14:37.752 --> 00:14:40.455
- If ever god takes his eyes off the blood
- 00:14:40.455 --> 00:14:43.057
- To look at your sin,
- 00:14:43.057 --> 00:14:44.392
- God has just negate, slighted the blood of jesus.
- 00:14:44.392 --> 00:14:52.567
- God cannot do that.
- 00:14:52.567 --> 00:14:55.803
- That's why the bible says, "blessed is the man
- 00:14:55.803 --> 00:14:58.272
- To whom the lord shall not impute sin," why?
- 00:14:58.272 --> 00:15:03.011
- Because it has been imputed at the cross.
- 00:15:03.011 --> 00:15:05.780
- That's why the bible says the new covenant
- 00:15:05.780 --> 00:15:07.148
- Is all based on this clause:
- 00:15:07.148 --> 00:15:10.318
- "and the holy spirit has been sent--"
- 00:15:10.318 --> 00:15:12.553
- In hebrews 10 it tells us to be a witness to us,
- 00:15:12.553 --> 00:15:15.723
- And we hardly hear this witness.
- 00:15:15.723 --> 00:15:17.191
- And the witness is your sins and your lawless deeds
- 00:15:17.191 --> 00:15:20.461
- Are remembered no more.
- 00:15:20.461 --> 00:15:25.633
- For us, physical is real; spirit world is not real,
- 00:15:25.633 --> 00:15:28.503
- But god--it's the spirit world that brought--
- 00:15:28.503 --> 00:15:31.305
- It was the spirit-- god's the spirit--
- 00:15:31.305 --> 00:15:33.374
- That brought forth the material.
- 00:15:33.374 --> 00:15:36.177
- And if you can see something, the bible says it's temporal.
- 00:15:36.177 --> 00:15:39.147
- It's true. this chair you sit on?
- 00:15:39.147 --> 00:15:42.183
- Come back 50 years. it's not the same shape anymore.
- 00:15:42.183 --> 00:15:45.386
- One day it shall be no more, amen.
- 00:15:45.386 --> 00:15:48.623
- You can see it, it's temporal.
- 00:15:48.623 --> 00:15:52.794
- The things which cannot be seen are eternal.
- 00:15:52.794 --> 00:15:56.230
- Who you are in christ.
- 00:15:56.230 --> 00:15:57.565
- Now, this body, right, this flesh, thank god:
- 00:15:57.565 --> 00:16:00.501
- It is temporal.
- 00:16:00.501 --> 00:16:02.070
- When jesus comes again,
- 00:16:02.070 --> 00:16:03.638
- Immediately you won't see it happen.
- 00:16:03.638 --> 00:16:05.940
- Neither can i see it happen. poof, we have a brand-new body.
- 00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:11.045
- And all trace of sickness, deformity, or whatever--
- 00:16:11.045 --> 00:16:13.781
- All gone.
- 00:16:13.781 --> 00:16:17.218
- Listen, today is a new and living way.
- 00:16:17.218 --> 00:16:21.722
- Remember hebrews 10?
- 00:16:21.722 --> 00:16:23.357
- I can show you all this, but i'm just sharing
- 00:16:23.357 --> 00:16:25.693
- From the spirit here, all right?
- 00:16:25.693 --> 00:16:28.262
- You can study your bible later,
- 00:16:28.262 --> 00:16:30.298
- And "huh, i don't want to study--want to study."
- 00:16:30.298 --> 00:16:34.936
- Who said that?
- 00:16:34.936 --> 00:16:41.109
- The bible says, "having therefore boldness."
- 00:16:41.109 --> 00:16:43.344
- The verse before that--
- 00:16:43.344 --> 00:16:44.679
- "where there's remission of sin,
- 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:46.013
- Where there's forgiveness of sins,
- 00:16:46.013 --> 00:16:47.748
- There's no more offering for sin."
- 00:16:47.748 --> 00:16:51.185
- And the holy spirit witness to us our sins are no more.
- 00:16:51.185 --> 00:16:53.988
- God remembers them no more.
- 00:16:53.988 --> 00:16:56.023
- "having therefore--" therefore is based on all these truths.
- 00:16:56.023 --> 00:16:59.127
- "therefore, we have boldness to enter the holiest,"
- 00:16:59.127 --> 00:17:01.929
- All right?
- 00:17:01.929 --> 00:17:03.264
- Listen, "by the blood of jesus, never by our works,
- 00:17:03.264 --> 00:17:07.034
- In a new and living way."
- 00:17:07.034 --> 00:17:08.436
- So now the holy of holies is a new and living way.
- 00:17:08.436 --> 00:17:11.272
- In the past it was an old and dying way, okay?
- 00:17:11.272 --> 00:17:15.810
- Number one is that if you go inside there
- 00:17:15.810 --> 00:17:19.080
- Without proper preparation and all that,
- 00:17:19.080 --> 00:17:20.882
- You die because you have sinned.
- 00:17:20.882 --> 00:17:22.650
- But today when you enter in--listen carefully;
- 00:17:22.650 --> 00:17:25.119
- Listen to what i'm saying here-- the light--god is light.
- 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:28.589
- If we walk in the light as he is in the light--
- 00:17:28.589 --> 00:17:30.892
- And, by the way, the walk down there in the light
- 00:17:30.892 --> 00:17:32.527
- Is telling us if we have our place in the light
- 00:17:32.527 --> 00:17:36.430
- As he is in the light, chapter 1--amen?--
- 00:17:36.430 --> 00:17:38.699
- Because he's talking to people who are also not saved.
- 00:17:38.699 --> 00:17:40.601
- So he says if we walk in the light--amen?--
- 00:17:40.601 --> 00:17:42.904
- We are people in the light.
- 00:17:42.904 --> 00:17:44.572
- It's not the same as saying that we walk completely
- 00:17:44.572 --> 00:17:48.609
- In the light in terms of our behavior.
- 00:17:48.609 --> 00:17:50.645
- He's talking about our position.
- 00:17:50.645 --> 00:17:53.481
- If we are truly in the light-- listen, church--
- 00:17:53.481 --> 00:17:56.817
- The light will only show how there's no more spot on you.
- 00:17:56.817 --> 00:18:02.156
- How bright is that light? the holy of holies.
- 00:18:02.156 --> 00:18:05.193
- I'm telling you: the holy of holies,
- 00:18:05.193 --> 00:18:06.527
- The light, the shekinah glory,
- 00:18:06.527 --> 00:18:08.629
- Only shines on you to show the perfection of jesus's work.
- 00:18:08.629 --> 00:18:13.301
- To him be all the glory and the praise, amen.
- 00:18:13.301 --> 00:18:17.071
- It is like, you know, ladies' gems,
- 00:18:17.071 --> 00:18:21.475
- Special precious stones, right, rubies or sapphire?
- 00:18:21.475 --> 00:18:26.447
- What do they do?
- 00:18:26.447 --> 00:18:27.782
- They put it under the-- this kind of light, right?
- 00:18:27.782 --> 00:18:32.053
- What do you call it? downlight.
- 00:18:32.053 --> 00:18:34.789
- They put it under this light, why, why?
- 00:18:34.789 --> 00:18:38.693
- Because it brings out its beauty.
- 00:18:38.693 --> 00:18:40.561
- So, in other words, the more you come to god,
- 00:18:40.561 --> 00:18:43.030
- The light of god shines on you.
- 00:18:43.030 --> 00:18:44.665
- It brings out all the beauties and the perfections
- 00:18:44.665 --> 00:18:47.635
- Of what jesus has accomplished for you.
- 00:18:47.635 --> 00:18:51.205
- Who are you identified with:
- 00:18:51.205 --> 00:18:52.540
- The first adam or the second adam?
- 00:18:52.540 --> 00:18:55.409
- But everything in the world--
- 00:18:55.409 --> 00:18:57.411
- That's why it's the worldly system.
- 00:18:57.411 --> 00:18:58.746
- Everything in the world is "touch not, taste not,
- 00:18:58.746 --> 00:19:00.781
- Your five senses.
- 00:19:00.781 --> 00:19:02.116
- Unless i see it, i will not believe it.
- 00:19:02.116 --> 00:19:03.517
- Unless i feel it--" you know?
- 00:19:03.517 --> 00:19:04.852
- And it's all based on adam, the old adam,
- 00:19:04.852 --> 00:19:08.723
- Whereas the way of god is the way of faith.
- 00:19:08.723 --> 00:19:10.891
- Now, faith doesn't mean it's not there.
- 00:19:10.891 --> 00:19:12.226
- Like, "it's not there."
- 00:19:12.226 --> 00:19:13.561
- "but if i faith it, i faith it, i faith it, okay?
- 00:19:13.561 --> 00:19:17.231
- If i faith it long enough, my faithing will produce
- 00:19:17.231 --> 00:19:20.668
- The existence."
- 00:19:20.668 --> 00:19:22.470
- This is not faith. this is stupid, amen?
- 00:19:22.470 --> 00:19:28.442
- Only god can produce something out of nothing,
- 00:19:28.442 --> 00:19:30.478
- Ex nihilo.
- 00:19:30.478 --> 00:19:31.812
- Out of nothing, god can produce something.
- 00:19:31.812 --> 00:19:33.381
- Only god can do that.
- 00:19:33.381 --> 00:19:34.949
- Your faithing cannot produce something.
- 00:19:34.949 --> 00:19:37.351
- No, faith is substantiating what is already there
- 00:19:37.351 --> 00:19:40.554
- In the spirit world.
- 00:19:40.554 --> 00:19:43.224
- I act as if what i see in the spirit world,
- 00:19:43.224 --> 00:19:48.596
- I'm now in accordance with.
- 00:19:48.596 --> 00:19:50.097
- I act as if.
- 00:19:50.097 --> 00:19:51.432
- Write that down: "act as if." act as if god is near.
- 00:19:51.432 --> 00:19:57.238
- And to walk in all these truths i'm sharing with you,
- 00:19:57.238 --> 00:19:59.940
- Act as if god is hearing every prayer.
- 00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:03.811
- Act as if all your sins are forgiven--because they are.
- 00:20:03.811 --> 00:20:08.282
- Now, i say, "act as if--" you might think,
- 00:20:08.282 --> 00:20:11.152
- "oh, it's not real again," all right?
- 00:20:11.152 --> 00:20:12.653
- "you just act as if--" no, no, no, you act as if
- 00:20:12.653 --> 00:20:14.889
- To walk in line with what is already established,
- 00:20:14.889 --> 00:20:17.825
- What is really reality.
- 00:20:17.825 --> 00:20:19.727
- Act as if you're righteous, not self-righteous.
- 00:20:19.727 --> 00:20:22.530
- You cannot be self-righteous.
- 00:20:22.530 --> 00:20:24.532
- If you're self-righteous, you'll be proud, all right?
- 00:20:24.532 --> 00:20:26.200
- You're righteous because it's a gift of righteousness
- 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:28.269
- You receive.
- 00:20:28.269 --> 00:20:29.603
- Jesus is your righteousness.
- 00:20:29.603 --> 00:20:30.938
- But act as if it's so. act like your prayers matter.
- 00:20:30.938 --> 00:20:36.110
- "for this kind of situation, can you go to pastor henry
- 00:20:36.110 --> 00:20:39.280
- To pray for you?
- 00:20:39.280 --> 00:20:40.614
- He's got the gift of healing."
- 00:20:40.614 --> 00:20:42.316
- No, you never pray that way.
- 00:20:42.316 --> 00:20:45.486
- You won't even say, someone come to you, "i'm not prepared yet,
- 00:20:45.486 --> 00:20:47.755
- Not today.
- 00:20:47.755 --> 00:20:49.757
- Maybe, you know what? come back another day."
- 00:20:49.757 --> 00:20:53.127
- The mental health issue person-- right?--
- 00:20:53.127 --> 00:20:55.396
- Now i've got more mental health condition.
- 00:20:55.396 --> 00:20:58.833
- Trying to find you at the right day
- 00:20:58.833 --> 00:21:01.802
- To get you to pray.
- 00:21:01.802 --> 00:21:05.806
- "but, pastor, there are times i don't feel like praying."
- 00:21:05.806 --> 00:21:08.008
- Feelings!
- 00:21:08.008 --> 00:21:09.810
- "but there are times i feel like praying."
- 00:21:09.810 --> 00:21:11.145
- Feelings!
- 00:21:11.145 --> 00:21:12.480
- "there are times i feel like, you know, just doing nothing."
- 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:16.016
- Feelings!
- 00:21:16.016 --> 00:21:17.451
- "there are times i feel like faith is flowing."
- 00:21:17.451 --> 00:21:19.053
- Feelings!
- 00:21:19.053 --> 00:21:20.388
- "there are times i feel like faith is not flowing."
- 00:21:20.388 --> 00:21:21.956
- Feelings!
- 00:21:21.956 --> 00:21:23.290
- That's why many a times when you pray for people,
- 00:21:23.290 --> 00:21:25.626
- There are times you don't feel like your prayer is reaching god
- 00:21:25.626 --> 00:21:28.362
- Or you don't feel like faith is flowing in your heart,
- 00:21:28.362 --> 00:21:30.264
- You get answers.
- 00:21:30.264 --> 00:21:31.599
- On other times you pray, the feelings are there.
- 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.601
- "i feel good."
- 00:21:33.601 --> 00:21:34.935
- All these--god healed and all that.
- 00:21:34.935 --> 00:21:36.270
- The person come back and say, "hey, i got more problems now."
- 00:21:36.270 --> 00:21:43.477
- You found it so? you cannot depend on feelings.
- 00:21:43.477 --> 00:21:47.748
- I say you cannot depend on feelings.
- 00:21:47.748 --> 00:21:49.850
- They fluctuate, but your state is a constant.
- 00:21:49.850 --> 00:21:55.055
- And what's your state? righteous, accepted.
- 00:21:55.055 --> 00:21:59.160
- And you are in the presence of god,
- 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:00.628
- In the holy of holies, perpetually.
- 00:22:00.628 --> 00:22:03.597
- Something they never had in the old testament is
- 00:22:03.597 --> 00:22:05.232
- A purged conscience.
- 00:22:05.232 --> 00:22:07.101
- The bible says that once your conscience is purged,
- 00:22:07.101 --> 00:22:11.405
- You have--okay, having purged, once-purged, right, worshipers
- 00:22:11.405 --> 00:22:15.209
- Once-purged should have had--
- 00:22:15.209 --> 00:22:16.677
- This is what "purged conscience" means--
- 00:22:16.677 --> 00:22:18.012
- Should have no more consciousness of sins.
- 00:22:18.012 --> 00:22:22.149
- And that's what god wants you to have in his presence--
- 00:22:22.149 --> 00:22:23.818
- No more consciousness of sins.
- 00:22:23.818 --> 00:22:26.120
- So, child of god, realize from this week onwards,
- 00:22:26.120 --> 00:22:30.825
- Bring back to this, your mind, the consciousness,
- 00:22:30.825 --> 00:22:34.061
- Because everything in you will tell you,
- 00:22:34.061 --> 00:22:35.896
- "you are just the same old person.
- 00:22:35.896 --> 00:22:37.565
- You are confined. your feet is on this earth.
- 00:22:37.565 --> 00:22:39.300
- Can you see that? all right.
- 00:22:39.300 --> 00:22:40.634
- You are just a natural person with natural problems, you know.
- 00:22:40.634 --> 00:22:43.671
- You have natural forces working against your body.
- 00:22:43.671 --> 00:22:46.173
- And you have--everything is natural, okay?"
- 00:22:46.173 --> 00:22:48.809
- You remind yourself, "no. truly, who matters?
- 00:22:48.809 --> 00:22:52.046
- Whose eyesight it really matters is god.
- 00:22:52.046 --> 00:22:57.318
- And god has put me in christ, at his right hand."
- 00:22:57.318 --> 00:23:01.055

- 00:23:29.383 --> 00:23:31.051
- From pastor joseph prince.
- 00:23:31.051 --> 00:23:32.653
- Joseph prince: lift your hands all across this place...
- 00:23:32.653 --> 00:23:37.958
- This coming week, god give you the spirit of wisdom
- 00:23:37.958 --> 00:23:40.995
- And revelation in the knowledge of him,
- 00:23:40.995 --> 00:23:44.765
- The eyes of your understanding being enlightened,
- 00:23:44.765 --> 00:23:48.235
- That you be strengthened with all might
- 00:23:48.235 --> 00:23:50.538
- According to his glorious power;
- 00:23:50.538 --> 00:23:52.740
- And to all endurance and patience, with joy.
- 00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:58.045
- God strengthen you that christ may dwell in your heart
- 00:23:58.045 --> 00:24:01.248
- By faith, that you may know what is the riches of the glory
- 00:24:01.248 --> 00:24:07.054
- Of his inheritance in the saints
- 00:24:07.054 --> 00:24:09.557
- And what is the exceeding greatness
- 00:24:09.557 --> 00:24:11.458
- Of that resurrection power
- 00:24:11.458 --> 00:24:13.327
- That raised christ from the dead.
- 00:24:13.327 --> 00:24:15.896
- In jesus's name, amen, amen.
- 00:24:15.896 --> 00:24:21.035
- God bless you. we'll see you again.
- 00:24:21.035 --> 00:24:22.970
- Male announcer: we live in a world
- 00:24:24.738 --> 00:24:26.073
- That moves faster than ever.
- 00:24:26.073 --> 00:24:27.775
- Headlines change by the hour.
- 00:24:27.775 --> 00:24:30.010
- Values shift.
- 00:24:30.010 --> 00:24:31.712
- Truth feels negotiable.
- 00:24:31.712 --> 00:24:33.847
- What was certain yesterday is no longer clear today.
- 00:24:33.847 --> 00:24:38.619
- But through all the noise and the shaking,
- 00:24:38.619 --> 00:24:40.988
- There is one who is still listening.
- 00:24:40.988 --> 00:24:45.559
- In the chaos, he is still the calm.
- 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:48.295
- In the panic, he is still the promise.
- 00:24:48.295 --> 00:24:52.032
- Because when all else falters, fades, and falls,
- 00:24:52.032 --> 00:24:55.669
- He is still jesus above it all.
- 00:24:55.669 --> 00:24:59.106
- So no matter what's popular today or forgotten tomorrow,
- 00:24:59.106 --> 00:25:02.810
- This ministry will still always be all about jesus.
- 00:25:02.810 --> 00:25:07.615
- Still the center of our call, still the heartbeat
- 00:25:07.615 --> 00:25:11.051
- Of our people.
- 00:25:11.051 --> 00:25:12.453

- 00:25:20.928 --> 00:25:22.763
- Female: i had been a smoker since i was in college.
- 00:25:22.830 --> 00:25:24.999
- One of those habits that you picked up and,
- 00:25:24.999 --> 00:25:27.134
- "ahh, you know, i really like this."
- 00:25:27.134 --> 00:25:29.570
- For me it was so hard because i didn't want to let it go.
- 00:25:29.570 --> 00:25:33.240
- Sitting under pastor's teaching so much
- 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:35.809
- I understood i needed a rhema word
- 00:25:35.809 --> 00:25:38.545
- For my particular situation.
- 00:25:38.545 --> 00:25:40.781
- So he led me to "the battle is the lord's."
- 00:25:40.781 --> 00:25:45.886
- I listened to that for probably about two weeks.
- 00:25:45.886 --> 00:25:49.189
- That was the only thing i was listening to.
- 00:25:49.189 --> 00:25:51.759
- And then i started memorizing some of the scriptures.
- 00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.362
- I knew there is no success without that
- 00:25:55.362 --> 00:25:58.332
- Just coming up inside of you.
- 00:25:58.332 --> 00:26:00.668
- Pastor's so good in teaching us our identity
- 00:26:00.668 --> 00:26:03.037
- Of the old man and the new man.
- 00:26:03.037 --> 00:26:05.673
- That new man does not want to smoke.
- 00:26:05.673 --> 00:26:08.175
- Now after this did i still have the habit of like doing that?
- 00:26:08.175 --> 00:26:13.280
- Because it was like a regular ritual.
- 00:26:13.280 --> 00:26:15.182
- Yes, but every time i remembered, "that's not me,
- 00:26:15.182 --> 00:26:19.086
- I'm created in true righteousness
- 00:26:19.086 --> 00:26:20.821
- And holiness in christ."
- 00:26:20.821 --> 00:26:22.990
- I went to bed that night, slept like a baby.
- 00:26:22.990 --> 00:26:26.226
- The next morning i had no desire for cigarettes again.
- 00:26:26.226 --> 00:26:32.466
- It was such the lord, the power of his love.
- 00:26:32.466 --> 00:26:37.237
- What a beautiful work that jesus did and it's all him alone.
