Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - What Happens When You Sin As A Christian? | May 29, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.887
Joseph prince: a sinner cannot,
00:00:13.123 --> 00:00:14.357
By doing good, make himself a non-sinner.
00:00:14.491 --> 00:00:18.995
He's still a sinner.
00:00:19.129 --> 00:00:19.462
So why do we feel like, with one act,
00:00:20.363 --> 00:00:23.600
We've lost our position as righteous before god,
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.337
When actually all the good things you did
00:00:27.337 --> 00:00:30.106
When you were a sinner
00:00:30.106 --> 00:00:31.441
Cannot change the state of your sinnerhood?
00:00:31.441 --> 00:00:35.245
What makes you think today, just because you failed
00:00:35.245 --> 00:00:37.714
Here or there, you know, you have sinned even, right?
00:00:37.714 --> 00:00:42.852
That has changed your position as righteous before god.
00:00:42.852 --> 00:00:45.221
No, sin is wrong, but knowing this will cause you to reign
00:00:45.221 --> 00:00:48.925
Over your sin.
00:00:48.925 --> 00:00:50.260
The only way for a sinner to be translated out of
00:00:50.260 --> 00:00:54.364
His state of a sinner to becoming a saint,
00:00:54.364 --> 00:00:57.300
A child of god, a new creation, is by being born again,
00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:00.770
And that's from jesus's righteousness, right?
00:01:00.770 --> 00:01:04.440
So why do we feel like, with one act,
00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:07.644
We've lost our position as righteous before god,
00:01:07.644 --> 00:01:11.381
When actually all the good things you did
00:01:11.381 --> 00:01:14.184
When you were a sinner
00:01:14.184 --> 00:01:15.518
Cannot change the state of your sinnerhood?
00:01:15.518 --> 00:01:19.622
What makes you think today, just because you failed here
00:01:19.622 --> 00:01:22.759
Or there, you know, you have sinned even, right?
00:01:22.759 --> 00:01:27.163
That has changed your position as righteous before god.
00:01:27.163 --> 00:01:29.432
No, sin is wrong,
00:01:29.432 --> 00:01:30.967
But knowing this will cause you to reign over your sin.
00:01:30.967 --> 00:01:34.270
Praise the lord. thank you, jesus.
00:01:34.270 --> 00:01:36.005
So the lord says, "where guilt is,
00:01:36.005 --> 00:01:37.407
There can be no restoration."
00:01:37.407 --> 00:01:38.741
Now, if guilt is on him, then restoration
00:01:38.741 --> 00:01:42.912
Is on you.
00:01:42.912 --> 00:01:44.247
Today, if you know this,
00:01:44.247 --> 00:01:45.582
It gives you a fresh hope and confidence in god.
00:01:45.582 --> 00:01:50.286
Male announcer: what if this is the moment
00:01:50.353 --> 00:01:51.788
God is using to reach you?
00:01:51.788 --> 00:01:54.357
What if this is an invitation to live the life
00:01:54.357 --> 00:01:56.326
God has called you to live?
00:01:56.326 --> 00:01:58.528
In today's message,
00:01:58.528 --> 00:02:00.029
Joseph unveils scriptural truths and divine secrets
00:02:00.029 --> 00:02:02.932
On how to live the overcoming life.
00:02:02.932 --> 00:02:05.468
Joseph prince: the bible says that "in the last days
00:02:05.468 --> 00:02:07.704
God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh,"
00:02:07.704 --> 00:02:10.406
So we are looking forward for a worldwide revival.
00:02:10.406 --> 00:02:12.675
Hallelujah, amen.
00:02:12.675 --> 00:02:14.444
They are ready people for the gospel.
00:02:14.444 --> 00:02:17.380

And now here's pastor joseph prince
00:02:52.215 --> 00:02:54.617
With today's program.
00:02:54.617 --> 00:02:56.052
Joseph prince: we have this gospel.
00:02:56.119 --> 00:02:57.587
Gospel means good news.
00:02:57.587 --> 00:02:59.355
And the good news is it's not that god is mad at you,
00:02:59.355 --> 00:03:02.191
God is out to get you.
00:03:02.191 --> 00:03:03.526
And somehow, even today, but people are having
00:03:03.526 --> 00:03:06.396
That impression that god is out to judge them.
00:03:06.396 --> 00:03:08.998
God is a god, you know, of wrath, of anger, of judgment.
00:03:08.998 --> 00:03:13.836
Listen, god has wrath.
00:03:13.836 --> 00:03:15.938
God has anger, and but the bible says,
00:03:15.938 --> 00:03:18.875
"towards us who are believers in him,
00:03:18.875 --> 00:03:21.477
He has exhausted all his wrath
00:03:21.477 --> 00:03:23.346
On the body of our lord jesus christ,
00:03:23.346 --> 00:03:25.448
Our sacrifice, our sin offering on that cross.
00:03:25.448 --> 00:03:29.285
And jesus, god, planned it to be so
00:03:29.285 --> 00:03:31.454
That god can righteously forgive us
00:03:31.454 --> 00:03:34.490
Of all our sins through the cross,
00:03:34.490 --> 00:03:37.327
Because the cross of jesus christ
00:03:37.327 --> 00:03:39.195
Has glorified god to such an extent
00:03:39.195 --> 00:03:41.998
That all his attributes have been fully satisfied
00:03:41.998 --> 00:03:46.536
That he justifies us
00:03:46.536 --> 00:03:48.004
And he does it righteously, amen?
00:03:48.004 --> 00:03:51.407
We're not made righteous by god's mercy.
00:03:51.407 --> 00:03:53.509
His mercy is involved in this gospel plan,
00:03:53.509 --> 00:03:56.279
But we are made righteous with his righteousness,
00:03:56.279 --> 00:04:00.016
According to righteousness.
00:04:00.016 --> 00:04:01.718
Those are judicial terms, amen?
00:04:01.718 --> 00:04:03.252
So you and i today, who believe on christ,
00:04:03.252 --> 00:04:05.555
We are made righteous,
00:04:05.555 --> 00:04:06.889
And that's the gospel of jesus christ
00:04:06.889 --> 00:04:08.558
That the world needs to hear.
00:04:08.558 --> 00:04:10.193
What is the true gospel of jesus christ?
00:04:10.193 --> 00:04:12.795
We cannot compromise on this.
00:04:12.795 --> 00:04:14.397
What is the true gospel that we are supposed to preach
00:04:14.397 --> 00:04:17.734
That releases the power of god unto salvation, unto wholeness,
00:04:17.734 --> 00:04:21.938
Unto healing?
00:04:21.938 --> 00:04:23.272
What is that gospel?
00:04:23.272 --> 00:04:24.607
It goes on to say, "for in that gospel,
00:04:24.607 --> 00:04:27.143
The righteousness of god is revealed," amen.
00:04:27.143 --> 00:04:30.713
What is revealed? the sinfulness of men.
00:04:30.713 --> 00:04:33.282
Yes, man is sin, amen?
00:04:33.282 --> 00:04:35.251
But in the gospel of christ, it doesn't focus on man's sin.
00:04:35.251 --> 00:04:40.456
That is a given.
00:04:40.456 --> 00:04:41.791
That's why we need a savior, because we have sin.
00:04:41.791 --> 00:04:44.193
But the focus of the gospel,
00:04:44.193 --> 00:04:46.662
The true gospel of jesus christ,
00:04:46.662 --> 00:04:48.598
In it what is revealed?
00:04:48.598 --> 00:04:51.467
The righteousness of god is revealed.
00:04:51.467 --> 00:04:53.403
And the righteousness of god, my friend, is a gift.
00:04:53.403 --> 00:04:56.939
None of us can perform enough, do enough,
00:04:56.939 --> 00:05:01.444
Amen, and to ever become the righteousness of god.
00:05:01.444 --> 00:05:05.348
So the righteousness of god is given as a gift,
00:05:05.348 --> 00:05:07.316
As in romans 5:17, "for if by one man's offense
00:05:07.316 --> 00:05:11.020
Death reigned by one; much more they which receive
00:05:11.020 --> 00:05:13.890
Abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness."
00:05:13.890 --> 00:05:18.428
So righteousness is a gift.
00:05:18.428 --> 00:05:20.596
It is a gift. it is a gift.
00:05:20.596 --> 00:05:23.900
How that sounds so good, amen, on my lips to say it, gift.
00:05:23.900 --> 00:05:29.172
It's a gift of righteousness,
00:05:29.172 --> 00:05:30.506
But have you received it?
00:05:30.506 --> 00:05:31.874
And the bible says, "those who receive it,
00:05:31.874 --> 00:05:33.309
They will reign in life," not afterlife, amen,
00:05:33.309 --> 00:05:37.213
"reign in life, in this world,
00:05:37.213 --> 00:05:39.549
And in the world to come through jesus christ."
00:05:39.549 --> 00:05:42.585
Praise be to our lord jesus christ, hallelujah.
00:05:42.585 --> 00:05:46.489
God will never see you apart from christ.
00:05:46.489 --> 00:05:50.726
Someone says, "you know, when god looks at us,
00:05:50.726 --> 00:05:52.495
It's like a ceiling over us, and the ceiling is christ,
00:05:52.495 --> 00:05:55.465
So he sees us through christ."
00:05:55.465 --> 00:05:57.600
Even that illustration doesn't really cut it, you know,
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.036
Because the word in christ jesus,
00:06:00.036 --> 00:06:02.905
The best way i can say it is like, you know,
00:06:02.905 --> 00:06:05.241
We are completely ensphered.
00:06:05.241 --> 00:06:10.379
Yeah, that's the word, ensphered, you know,
00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:12.315
E-n-s-p-h-e-r-e, ensphere.
00:06:12.315 --> 00:06:16.152
It's like completely sphered.
00:06:16.152 --> 00:06:18.020
We are in a sphere, amen?
00:06:18.020 --> 00:06:20.423
Like you are in the deepest ocean,
00:06:20.423 --> 00:06:22.592
And all around you, water over you, water under you,
00:06:22.592 --> 00:06:26.429
Around you, permeating you, amen?
00:06:26.429 --> 00:06:29.065
And you are in that in christ jesus.
00:06:29.065 --> 00:06:32.568
That's how one you are with him.
00:06:32.568 --> 00:06:34.470
So when the father looks at you,
00:06:34.470 --> 00:06:35.805
He sees you ensphered in christ, amen.
00:06:35.805 --> 00:06:38.774
And whatever jesus has done,
00:06:38.774 --> 00:06:40.877
As far as the father is concerned, you have done.
00:06:40.877 --> 00:06:44.213
The only thing that he did that you and i did not do,
00:06:44.213 --> 00:06:47.149
Of course, is to remove our sins
00:06:47.149 --> 00:06:49.252
By virtue of his person, amen.
00:06:49.252 --> 00:06:52.021
But after that, whatever the father did to him
00:06:52.021 --> 00:06:54.590
At the cross happened to us as well.
00:06:54.590 --> 00:06:56.692
When the father raised him from the dead,
00:06:56.692 --> 00:06:58.227
We were raised with him, and that's our true identity.
00:06:58.227 --> 00:07:01.697
So in that context, the bible says,
00:07:01.697 --> 00:07:04.500
"there is therefore now no condemnation at all
00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:09.171
For those who are in christ jesus."
00:07:09.171 --> 00:07:10.740
How can there be?
00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:12.074
Ask yourself this question: can jesus ever be condemned?
00:07:12.074 --> 00:07:16.245
There is therefore now no condemnation
00:07:16.245 --> 00:07:18.948
For you and i in christ jesus.
00:07:18.948 --> 00:07:21.918
Praise the lord.
00:07:21.918 --> 00:07:23.252
So first, before the deliverance, friend,
00:07:23.252 --> 00:07:25.721
Before you see the freedom from the addiction,
00:07:25.721 --> 00:07:27.657
From the sinful habit, before you can have
00:07:27.657 --> 00:07:30.226
The transformation that you so desire,
00:07:30.226 --> 00:07:32.762
You need to believe there is now no condemnation.
00:07:32.762 --> 00:07:35.798
A lot of people, they receive condemnation in themselves.
00:07:35.798 --> 00:07:39.535
And i'm reminded of something the lord told me
00:07:39.535 --> 00:07:42.805
As i was searching,
00:07:42.805 --> 00:07:44.206
Like i said just now, last year especially,
00:07:44.206 --> 00:07:46.609
I was going to the area of, like, a lot of people
00:07:46.609 --> 00:07:48.678
Who have heard this truth.
00:07:48.678 --> 00:07:50.012
And those who have heard this truth,
00:07:50.012 --> 00:07:52.181
I see some of them.
00:07:52.181 --> 00:07:53.916
Like many people have been so many testimonies,
00:07:53.916 --> 00:07:55.785
They've been transformed,
00:07:55.785 --> 00:07:57.286
But there are some who are not transformed,
00:07:57.286 --> 00:07:58.621
And i really want to see 100% results.
00:07:58.621 --> 00:08:00.856
Of course, i know that human will comes in
00:08:00.856 --> 00:08:02.358
And all that, but i'm someone who's really hungry
00:08:02.358 --> 00:08:04.827
For all that god has for us.
00:08:04.827 --> 00:08:06.729
How about you, amen?
00:08:06.729 --> 00:08:08.064
So i asked the lord, and he didn't answer me immediately,
00:08:08.064 --> 00:08:10.766
But one day i was praying.
00:08:10.766 --> 00:08:12.301
I remember praying, and then i heard these words,
00:08:12.301 --> 00:08:14.236
Very simple words, one line after another.
00:08:14.236 --> 00:08:17.473
It came into my spirit while i was praying.
00:08:17.473 --> 00:08:19.408
I had to get up from my prayer, grab a pen,
00:08:19.408 --> 00:08:21.877
And go to my notebook and write down verbatim
00:08:21.877 --> 00:08:25.281
What i heard in my spirit, what the lord was saying to me.
00:08:25.281 --> 00:08:28.351
Now, i want to read to you,
00:08:28.351 --> 00:08:29.685
Because this is the same notebook that i wrote.
00:08:29.685 --> 00:08:31.887
I jotted down what the lord said to me during prayer.
00:08:31.887 --> 00:08:34.657
And this is what he said to me last year
00:08:34.657 --> 00:08:38.995
When it came to me so strong one after another.
00:08:38.995 --> 00:08:43.933
And i'll say this, and at first you'll say,
00:08:43.933 --> 00:08:46.068
"well, pastor prince, that is nothing profound.
00:08:46.068 --> 00:08:49.505
It sounds so simple."
00:08:49.505 --> 00:08:50.840
But isn't it like god to share with you simple things
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.809
And yet life-transforming?
00:08:53.809 --> 00:08:56.746
Amen, it can be a pivotal point in your life
00:08:56.746 --> 00:08:59.215
When you hear it, okay?
00:08:59.215 --> 00:09:01.017
And this is what he said to me: "jesus cannot bear guilt
00:09:01.017 --> 00:09:06.856
While you are bearing guilt."
00:09:06.856 --> 00:09:10.493
Jesus, we know he bore our guilt at the cross, right?
00:09:10.493 --> 00:09:14.230
He became liable for all our sins.
00:09:14.230 --> 00:09:16.699
But in a sense, the cross is timeless
00:09:16.699 --> 00:09:20.770
Because it's outside time.
00:09:20.770 --> 00:09:22.271
That's why he can die for people who lived before him,
00:09:22.271 --> 00:09:25.675
And he died for all of us who live,
00:09:25.675 --> 00:09:27.877
Who would live, amen, chronologically speaking,
00:09:27.877 --> 00:09:30.846
After him.
00:09:30.846 --> 00:09:32.248
But with god, there is no time and space.
00:09:32.248 --> 00:09:36.285
There's an eternal now.
00:09:36.285 --> 00:09:38.054
And he's saying to me that if you want to get
00:09:38.054 --> 00:09:40.122
The benefit-- now, i'm illustrating
00:09:40.122 --> 00:09:42.792
What he said to me in a line,
00:09:42.792 --> 00:09:44.126
But let me just tell you what he said.
00:09:44.126 --> 00:09:45.494
"jesus cannot bear guilt while you are bearing guilt.
00:09:45.494 --> 00:09:52.802
Guilt cannot be in two places.
00:09:52.802 --> 00:09:56.338
Guilt cannot be in two places.
00:09:56.405 --> 00:09:58.240
Either it's on him, or it's on you.
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.579
Either it's on him, or it's on you.
00:10:03.646 --> 00:10:08.851
If it's on you and you bear it,
00:10:08.851 --> 00:10:12.321
It cannot be on him.
00:10:12.321 --> 00:10:15.424
If it's on him, then it's not on you."
00:10:15.424 --> 00:10:21.697
You say, "pastor, this so simple and i--" listen,
00:10:21.697 --> 00:10:25.401
"where guilt is, there can be no restoration.
00:10:25.401 --> 00:10:31.240
If guilt is on him, then restoration is on you.
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:37.079
If he took your guilt," amen,
00:10:37.079 --> 00:10:39.315
"restoration is coming your way."
00:10:39.315 --> 00:10:40.950
And when he shared this with me, straight away, you know,
00:10:40.950 --> 00:10:44.920
I'm reminded of the five offerings.
00:10:44.920 --> 00:10:47.022
All the five offerings in the book of leviticus
00:10:47.022 --> 00:10:49.825
Typify that one offering of christ at the cross.
00:10:49.825 --> 00:10:54.430
It takes five levitical offerings
00:10:54.430 --> 00:10:57.399
To show us what happened to jesus at the cross.
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.636
Of course, one of them, meal offering,
00:11:00.636 --> 00:11:02.071
Actually refers to his entire life, okay?
00:11:02.071 --> 00:11:04.507
But the rest refers to that one act of christ
00:11:04.507 --> 00:11:07.409
On that cross, and it's called--
00:11:07.409 --> 00:11:09.612
I'm gonna focus on the guilt offering,
00:11:09.612 --> 00:11:12.581
The guilt offering.
00:11:12.581 --> 00:11:14.784
In many translations, it calls it guilt offering.
00:11:14.784 --> 00:11:16.986
The hebrew word is asham, guilt offering.
00:11:16.986 --> 00:11:22.258
So there's a guilt offering.
00:11:22.258 --> 00:11:23.592
So first of all, there's a burnt offering,
00:11:23.592 --> 00:11:25.394
And then there is a meal offering.
00:11:25.394 --> 00:11:27.196
There is a peace offering.
00:11:27.196 --> 00:11:28.798
There is a sin offering,
00:11:28.798 --> 00:11:30.232
And then there is a guilt offering.
00:11:30.232 --> 00:11:32.701
Now, the guilt offering says it like this.
00:11:32.701 --> 00:11:35.304
In leviticus 6, it says here, talking about the asham,
00:11:35.304 --> 00:11:39.508
Which is the guilt offering, "if you have sinned
00:11:39.508 --> 00:11:42.511
In any of these ways, you are guilty.
00:11:42.511 --> 00:11:45.514
You must give back whatever you stole,
00:11:45.514 --> 00:11:48.684
Or the money you took by extortion,
00:11:48.684 --> 00:11:51.053
Or the security deposit, or the lost property you found,
00:11:51.053 --> 00:11:55.024
Or anything obtained by swearing falsely.
00:11:55.024 --> 00:11:58.427
You must make restitution, or restoration,
00:11:58.427 --> 00:12:01.230
By paying the full price," paying what?
00:12:01.230 --> 00:12:04.967
"the full price plus an additional 20 percent
00:12:04.967 --> 00:12:08.070
To the person you have harmed."
00:12:08.070 --> 00:12:10.005
So, in other words, 100, full price is 100%,
00:12:10.005 --> 00:12:13.542
Plus 20%, so it's 120% to the person you have harmed.
00:12:13.542 --> 00:12:18.080
"on the same day you must present a guilt offering."
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.218
So this is actually the procedure
00:12:22.218 --> 00:12:24.420
For the guilt offering, or asham, amen,
00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:28.524
The last offering mentioned in leviticus.
00:12:28.524 --> 00:12:30.492
Jesus took the place.
00:12:30.492 --> 00:12:32.228
He took your place and my place.
00:12:32.228 --> 00:12:33.829
Instead of us being there on the cross, he took our place.
00:12:33.829 --> 00:12:36.665
We did the wrong. we did the extorting.
00:12:36.665 --> 00:12:38.667
We did everything. so he did--he took our place.
00:12:38.667 --> 00:12:40.769
By the same token, he becomes liable for all that,
00:12:40.769 --> 00:12:44.840
All the wrong things that we have done.
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.109
In other words, he will be the one to restore 120%.
00:12:47.109 --> 00:12:51.647
And god designed all this, my friend,
00:12:51.647 --> 00:12:53.983
To be so, hallelujah.
00:12:53.983 --> 00:12:56.585
You see, because the bible actually tells us this,
00:12:56.585 --> 00:13:00.256
That he said, jesus said in one of the messianic psalms,
00:13:00.256 --> 00:13:02.825
It says in psalms 69, "they that hate me
00:13:02.825 --> 00:13:06.829
Without a cause are more than the hairs of my head."
00:13:06.829 --> 00:13:11.166
Now, this first part here is in reference to jesus.
00:13:11.166 --> 00:13:16.805
How do we know it's a messianic verse
00:13:16.805 --> 00:13:19.141
Referring to jesus?
00:13:19.141 --> 00:13:20.476
Because this verse was quoted by jesus himself
00:13:20.476 --> 00:13:22.811
In the upper room, last supper.
00:13:22.811 --> 00:13:25.915
In john 15, jesus says, "but this happened,"
00:13:25.915 --> 00:13:28.384
Jesus talking here, "but this happened
00:13:28.384 --> 00:13:30.185
That the word might be fulfilled,
00:13:30.185 --> 00:13:31.921
Which is written in their law, 'they hated me without a cause.'
00:13:31.921 --> 00:13:36.759
'they hated me without a cause."'
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.994
Where was this written from--taken from?
00:13:38.994 --> 00:13:41.130
From psalm 69, "they that hate me
00:13:41.130 --> 00:13:42.865
Without a cause," and notice the last part,
00:13:42.865 --> 00:13:45.868
"then i restored that which i took not away."
00:13:45.868 --> 00:13:50.906
Jesus says, "i restored that which i took not away.
00:13:50.906 --> 00:13:54.109
I took the place of the guilty one.
00:13:54.109 --> 00:13:57.513
I became liable for their sins;
00:13:57.513 --> 00:14:00.015
Therefore, i have to be the one to restore."
00:14:00.015 --> 00:14:03.319
So, my friend, how that works out,
00:14:03.319 --> 00:14:05.154
But what the lord said to me,
00:14:05.154 --> 00:14:06.889
And because i understand about the guilt offering,
00:14:06.889 --> 00:14:08.991
So when god said-- i'm gonna repeat this again.
00:14:08.991 --> 00:14:11.026
He said, "he cannot bear guilt while you are bearing guilt.
00:14:11.026 --> 00:14:15.264
Guilt cannot be in two places.
00:14:15.264 --> 00:14:17.666
Either it's on him, or it's on you.
00:14:17.666 --> 00:14:21.136
If it's on you, and you bury it,
00:14:21.136 --> 00:14:24.707
You experience it.
00:14:24.707 --> 00:14:26.508
You justify yourself why you feel guilty."
00:14:26.508 --> 00:14:28.978
I don't care whether you believe in the gospel of grace
00:14:28.978 --> 00:14:32.147
Or whether you heard the teachings
00:14:32.147 --> 00:14:33.949
About the righteousness of god,
00:14:33.949 --> 00:14:35.484
But if you bear it, if you are feeling guilty,
00:14:35.484 --> 00:14:38.854
Friend, then it's not on him, as far as you are concerned.
00:14:38.854 --> 00:14:41.824
It's on you.
00:14:41.824 --> 00:14:43.158
So if it's on you and you bear it,
00:14:43.158 --> 00:14:45.260
It cannot be on him.
00:14:45.260 --> 00:14:47.062
If it's on him, then it's not on you.
00:14:47.062 --> 00:14:50.199
In other words, guilt cannot be in two places.
00:14:50.199 --> 00:14:52.668
That's what the lord said to me.
00:14:52.668 --> 00:14:54.436
"where guilt is," the lord said,
00:14:54.436 --> 00:14:56.372
"where guilt is, there can be no restoration."
00:14:56.372 --> 00:14:58.941
As you can see in the guilt offering,
00:14:58.941 --> 00:15:00.776
There is restoration, 120% restoration,
00:15:00.776 --> 00:15:04.580
And that's the reason why jesus at the cross
00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:07.182
Accomplished so much more than what adam has done
00:15:07.182 --> 00:15:11.220
In bringing the curse and death into the human race.
00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:16.592
What jesus did is much more.
00:15:16.592 --> 00:15:18.293
It's mentioned five times in the book of romans.
00:15:18.293 --> 00:15:20.863
What jesus did is much more.
00:15:20.863 --> 00:15:23.098
That's why, you know, if adam's sin caused
00:15:23.098 --> 00:15:26.068
All of us to become sinners,
00:15:26.068 --> 00:15:27.603
Then much more jesus's righteousness,
00:15:27.603 --> 00:15:30.005
That one act of righteousness at the cross,
00:15:30.005 --> 00:15:32.274
Made all of us righteous, hallelujah.
00:15:32.274 --> 00:15:35.744
Praise the name of jesus. praise the name of jesus.
00:15:35.744 --> 00:15:39.448
It's much more.
00:15:39.448 --> 00:15:42.484
If today a sinner, a sinner, what adam did,
00:15:42.484 --> 00:15:47.256
A sinner cannot, by doing good, make himself a non-sinner.
00:15:47.256 --> 00:15:53.195
He's still a sinner.
00:15:53.195 --> 00:15:54.596
That means what adam did is so strong
00:15:54.596 --> 00:15:57.232
That a sinner cannot change his status by doing good,
00:15:57.232 --> 00:16:01.904
By being kind, by you know,
00:16:01.904 --> 00:16:04.907
Pulling, you know, himself by his bootstraps,
00:16:04.907 --> 00:16:08.277
Doing his best.
00:16:08.277 --> 00:16:09.611
No, he cannot change.
00:16:09.611 --> 00:16:10.946
The only way for a sinner to be translated out of
00:16:10.946 --> 00:16:15.250
His state of a sinner to becoming a saint,
00:16:15.250 --> 00:16:17.953
A child of god, a new creation, is by being born again,
00:16:17.953 --> 00:16:21.490
And that's from jesus's righteousness, right?
00:16:21.490 --> 00:16:25.227
So why do we feel like, with one act,
00:16:25.227 --> 00:16:28.464
We've lost our position as righteous before god,
00:16:28.464 --> 00:16:32.234
When actually all the good things you did
00:16:32.234 --> 00:16:35.037
When you were a sinner
00:16:35.037 --> 00:16:36.371
Cannot change the state of your sinnerhood?
00:16:36.371 --> 00:16:40.309
If i can say it that way.
00:16:40.309 --> 00:16:41.643
What makes you think today, just because you failed here
00:16:41.643 --> 00:16:44.646
Or there, you know, you have sinned even, right?
00:16:44.646 --> 00:16:49.118
That has changed your position as righteous before god.
00:16:49.118 --> 00:16:51.520
No, sin is wrong,
00:16:51.520 --> 00:16:52.921
But knowing this will cause you to reign over your sin.
00:16:52.921 --> 00:16:56.959
Praise the lord. thank you, jesus.
00:16:56.959 --> 00:16:58.827
So the lord says, "where guilt is,
00:16:58.827 --> 00:17:00.162
There can be no restoration."
00:17:00.162 --> 00:17:01.497
Now, if guilt is on him, then restoration is
00:17:01.497 --> 00:17:05.601
On you, hallelujah.
00:17:05.601 --> 00:17:07.803
Praise the name of jesus.
00:17:07.803 --> 00:17:09.138
So, what happens when we fail?
00:17:09.138 --> 00:17:11.773
You know, you don't have to look far to realize,
00:17:11.773 --> 00:17:14.476
You know, your failures, right?
00:17:14.476 --> 00:17:16.245
Every day, sometimes it bring fresh reminders
00:17:16.245 --> 00:17:19.882
That we are so weak in and of ourselves,
00:17:19.882 --> 00:17:22.451
But friend, listen carefully.
00:17:22.451 --> 00:17:24.052
And the flesh is still in us,
00:17:24.052 --> 00:17:25.387
And i think that god leaves us with the flesh,
00:17:25.387 --> 00:17:26.788
Even though after we are born again, to humble us,
00:17:26.788 --> 00:17:29.391
To always remind us of our need for him.
00:17:29.391 --> 00:17:32.127
Or else we are so, you know,
00:17:32.127 --> 00:17:33.695
We are people that they always feel like after one victory,
00:17:33.695 --> 00:17:36.098
We are strong now, amen, and we're not gonna fall.
00:17:36.098 --> 00:17:39.034
No, friend, the flesh is the flesh,
00:17:39.034 --> 00:17:40.669
And the flesh is always there, right?
00:17:40.669 --> 00:17:43.172
So, you have a propensity to sin.
00:17:43.172 --> 00:17:45.474
You don't have to look far to see your failures,
00:17:45.474 --> 00:17:47.376
Even mentally, even sometimes when you are sleeping, amen.
00:17:47.376 --> 00:17:51.246
Even when you're awake, you see so much more, right?
00:17:51.246 --> 00:17:54.049
And those solicitations to sin, that feeling,
00:17:54.049 --> 00:17:58.353
That anger that rises, that bitterness,
00:17:58.353 --> 00:18:00.756
That depression and all that, you know,
00:18:00.756 --> 00:18:02.858
Even being fearful and worried and all that
00:18:02.858 --> 00:18:06.161
Are all sins to god.
00:18:06.161 --> 00:18:08.830
Well, if that's the case, you know,
00:18:08.830 --> 00:18:10.599
We talk about the big ones,
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:11.934
But god talks about all these things in the bible,
00:18:11.934 --> 00:18:14.403
Even being fearful and unbelieving
00:18:14.403 --> 00:18:15.871
Are the two groups that go to the lake of fire.
00:18:15.871 --> 00:18:20.008
"pastor prince, how do we overcome sin?"
00:18:20.008 --> 00:18:21.977
No, friend, today, if you know this,
00:18:21.977 --> 00:18:24.379
It gives you a fresh hope and confidence in god,
00:18:24.379 --> 00:18:31.687
Because you know why?
00:18:31.687 --> 00:18:33.021
We are full of weaknesses, full of sins,
00:18:33.021 --> 00:18:36.024
But it's our title to what jesus did,
00:18:36.024 --> 00:18:38.627
As long as we don't receive the guilt, amen.
00:18:38.627 --> 00:18:42.798
We look to the cross.
00:18:42.798 --> 00:18:44.132
And every time we fail, whether in thought, word,
00:18:44.132 --> 00:18:46.134
Or deed, amen, look to the cross and say,
00:18:46.134 --> 00:18:48.637
"lord, i thank you that you bore this guilt, amen.
00:18:48.637 --> 00:18:52.274
You bore the judgment of it.
00:18:52.274 --> 00:18:53.775
You bore the guilt of it, and i thank you, lord.
00:18:53.775 --> 00:18:57.479
I'm freed from guilt."
00:18:57.479 --> 00:18:58.814
Don't condemn yourself, and start declaring,
00:18:58.814 --> 00:19:01.216
"i am the righteousness of god in christ."
00:19:01.216 --> 00:19:02.985
You may have a bondage in a certain area,
00:19:02.985 --> 00:19:05.087
But the more you confess that, the more you will reign over it.
00:19:05.087 --> 00:19:08.957
And not only don't stop there.
00:19:08.957 --> 00:19:10.492
Remember this, because of that sin,
00:19:10.492 --> 00:19:13.295
Now you are entitled,
00:19:13.295 --> 00:19:16.298
I say that because i base it on scripture,
00:19:16.298 --> 00:19:18.667
To 120% restoration from the lord.
00:19:18.667 --> 00:19:24.406
There'll come a few days of such, like, you know,
00:19:24.406 --> 00:19:28.410
Answered prayer, good things happening,
00:19:28.410 --> 00:19:31.913
Enjoying the peace of god, like they never had before.
00:19:31.913 --> 00:19:36.885
When they were, you know, when they were walking with god
00:19:36.885 --> 00:19:40.355
And all that, they never had those experiences
00:19:40.355 --> 00:19:42.124
Like they have after they fell, after they were restored.
00:19:42.124 --> 00:19:45.794
They enjoy, it's like they-- and i'm not saying,
00:19:45.794 --> 00:19:48.163
"do this, so go ahead and sin."
00:19:48.163 --> 00:19:49.665
Paul didn't say that,
00:19:49.665 --> 00:19:50.999
But paul preached enough of this to be misunderstood.
00:19:50.999 --> 00:19:53.969
Paul says--they accused paul, "paul said this."
00:19:53.969 --> 00:19:56.705
They accused him of saying, "let us do evil that good may come."
00:19:56.705 --> 00:20:00.475
Probably paul was teaching on this guilt offering,
00:20:00.475 --> 00:20:03.945
Hallelujah, the guilt offering aspect
00:20:03.945 --> 00:20:06.081
Of our lord jesus christ's death on the cross, amen.
00:20:06.081 --> 00:20:10.452
He was probably sharing this that people misunderstand.
00:20:10.452 --> 00:20:12.287
Paul did say, "where sin increase,
00:20:12.287 --> 00:20:13.922
Grace super abounds."
00:20:13.922 --> 00:20:15.324
And then people say, "so you're saying
00:20:15.324 --> 00:20:16.725
Let us sin more that grace may abound?"
00:20:16.725 --> 00:20:18.460
So paul says, "shall we sin more than grace may abound?
00:20:18.460 --> 00:20:21.096
May it never be."
00:20:21.096 --> 00:20:22.798
So in order for them to misunderstand paul,
00:20:22.798 --> 00:20:25.901
Paul must have preached very strongly on this.
00:20:25.901 --> 00:20:29.471
But because of your fall, because of your sin,
00:20:29.471 --> 00:20:32.541
Because of your bondage, because of your addiction,
00:20:32.541 --> 00:20:35.577
Now you're entitled.
00:20:35.577 --> 00:20:36.912
Look forward for 120%, as long as you don't receive
00:20:36.912 --> 00:20:39.848
The guilt.
00:20:39.848 --> 00:20:41.983
You know, people think, "well, pastor prince,
00:20:41.983 --> 00:20:43.518
Feeling guilty is good."
00:20:43.518 --> 00:20:45.487
No, if you know that christ bore your guilt,
00:20:45.487 --> 00:20:48.256
Christ bore your condemnation.
00:20:48.256 --> 00:20:50.225
He bore it all. yes, we thank god for it.
00:20:50.225 --> 00:20:52.961
That's it, amen.
00:20:52.961 --> 00:20:54.529
Thank god for it and declare,
00:20:54.529 --> 00:20:56.264
"i'm the righteousness of god in christ."
00:20:56.264 --> 00:20:57.666
You're honoring what christ did.
00:20:57.666 --> 00:20:59.568
Guilt cannot be in two places, amen.
00:20:59.568 --> 00:21:03.472
In fact, guilt will doom someone to perpetuate that sin.
00:21:03.472 --> 00:21:10.912
Yeah, i mean, it's--
00:21:10.912 --> 00:21:12.481
In fact, this is not a theological saying.
00:21:12.481 --> 00:21:14.116
It's not from the church world, amen.
00:21:14.116 --> 00:21:15.884
It's from the mental health professionals,
00:21:15.884 --> 00:21:18.987
The psychiatrists and all that.
00:21:18.987 --> 00:21:20.489
They have said this,
00:21:20.489 --> 00:21:21.890
And i've heard more than one psychiatrist
00:21:21.890 --> 00:21:23.358
Who have said this: "guilt is at the crux of all addictions.
00:21:23.358 --> 00:21:30.232
Guilt is at the crux of all addiction."
00:21:30.232 --> 00:21:33.268
The more you feel guilty, you are doomed to repeat
00:21:33.268 --> 00:21:36.538
That addiction.
00:21:36.538 --> 00:21:37.873
The more you feel guilty, whether it's smoking pot
00:21:37.873 --> 00:21:41.143
Or watching pornography, "and what's the answer, pastor?
00:21:41.143 --> 00:21:44.646
Don't feel guilty and continue watching it?"
00:21:44.646 --> 00:21:46.314
No, i'm not saying that.
00:21:46.314 --> 00:21:47.716
While you're watching it, declare,
00:21:47.716 --> 00:21:49.050
"i am the righteousness of god in christ."
00:21:49.050 --> 00:21:51.853
Like the guy says, you know, it sounds ridiculous at first,
00:21:51.853 --> 00:21:55.090
But you know what?
00:21:55.090 --> 00:21:56.425
That's the way to reign over it, hallelujah,
00:21:56.425 --> 00:21:58.226
Because all of a sudden you realize this is not who you are.
00:21:58.226 --> 00:22:00.695
But it must be a revelation, and the transformation will be,
00:22:00.695 --> 00:22:03.899
Even the desire will go away, hallelujah.
00:22:03.899 --> 00:22:09.504
This is the gospel of jesus christ.
00:22:09.504 --> 00:22:11.807
So every time you fail, instead of despairing,
00:22:11.807 --> 00:22:14.376
Instead of looking for a--
00:22:14.376 --> 00:22:16.411
With a fearful expectation of evil in your future,
00:22:16.411 --> 00:22:20.615
Afraid something bad will happen to you
00:22:20.615 --> 00:22:23.118
Or to your children, to your family,
00:22:23.118 --> 00:22:25.554
Start looking to jesus, and thank him that he became
00:22:25.554 --> 00:22:28.757
Our guilt offering on that cross.
00:22:28.757 --> 00:22:30.792
And because he became liable for all our sins,
00:22:30.792 --> 00:22:33.995
And he becomes the one to restore.
00:22:33.995 --> 00:22:35.964
He's the great restorer.
00:22:35.964 --> 00:22:37.299
He has restored to god all that we have robbed god of, amen?
00:22:37.299 --> 00:22:41.236
And god has received from jesus
00:22:41.236 --> 00:22:43.171
Much more than what we have robbed him of.
00:22:43.171 --> 00:22:46.174
He has received 100% as well as 120%.
00:22:46.174 --> 00:22:51.446
On top of that, where sin increase,
00:22:51.446 --> 00:22:53.381
Grace super abounds, in the greek.
00:22:53.381 --> 00:22:56.017
It is like this.
00:22:56.017 --> 00:22:57.352
The word huperperisseuo is like abundance
00:22:57.352 --> 00:23:00.455
And then some more on top of that.
00:23:00.455 --> 00:23:03.258
Perisseuo is already abundance increase,
00:23:03.258 --> 00:23:07.262
But huper is on the increase,
00:23:07.262 --> 00:23:10.532
And on top of it, god heaps some more, amen.
00:23:10.532 --> 00:23:13.301
Jesus has given to god on your behalf and my behalf
00:23:13.301 --> 00:23:16.972
What we have robbed him of.
00:23:16.972 --> 00:23:18.306
We have robbed him of the worship due his name.
00:23:18.306 --> 00:23:20.976
We have not worshiped him enough, amen?
00:23:20.976 --> 00:23:22.978
We have not loved him enough, amen.
00:23:22.978 --> 00:23:24.946
We have not obeyed him enough.
00:23:24.946 --> 00:23:26.481
We have not reverenced him enough, amen.
00:23:26.481 --> 00:23:28.483
We've not been intimate with him that he desires so much from us.
00:23:28.483 --> 00:23:31.086
But you know what?
00:23:31.086 --> 00:23:32.420
Jesus christ at the cross became our guilt offering.
00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:34.689
And for our sakes, on our behalf,
00:23:34.689 --> 00:23:37.125
He restored to god 120% of our reverence,
00:23:37.125 --> 00:23:41.162
120% of worship and obedience
00:23:41.162 --> 00:23:44.599
That we could never render to god.
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:46.301
And god sends it to your account.
00:23:46.301 --> 00:23:48.103
Hallelujah, amen.
00:23:48.103 --> 00:23:51.640
And that's towards god because god is the wrong party,
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:54.910
But also to us,
00:23:54.910 --> 00:23:56.411
When you receive the gift of no condemnation,
00:23:56.411 --> 00:23:59.180
While you are still in your sin,
00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:01.016
It will empower you.
00:24:01.016 --> 00:24:02.417
This truth must be preached in such a way
00:24:02.417 --> 00:24:04.486
That people will sense the no condemnation,
00:24:04.486 --> 00:24:06.922
That they will realize how much god loves them,
00:24:06.922 --> 00:24:09.057
How perfect the work of jesus at the cross
00:24:09.057 --> 00:24:11.693
To remove all their sins,
00:24:11.693 --> 00:24:13.161
That it will empower them to reign in life, hallelujah.
00:24:13.161 --> 00:24:16.665
