Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - What Happens When You Stop Trying to Get Healed | May 21, 2026
- Joseph prince: child of god, you have a shepherd, amen?
- 00:00:13.123 --> 00:00:14.090
- You have a father who watches over you.
- 00:00:15.091 --> 00:00:17.093
- When you rest, god works.
- 00:00:17.093 --> 00:00:18.795
- So when god works, people get healed, hallelujah.
- 00:00:18.795 --> 00:00:23.867
- Healing is god working, amen.
- 00:00:23.867 --> 00:00:26.469
- And jesus says, "and i work also.
- 00:00:26.469 --> 00:00:29.072
- When i see my father healing, i flow with him.
- 00:00:29.072 --> 00:00:32.375
- I work also."
- 00:00:32.375 --> 00:00:33.710
- And remember this: when god works,
- 00:00:33.710 --> 00:00:36.479
- Man should cease, man should rest.
- 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:41.251
- And that's what the bible says.
- 00:00:41.251 --> 00:00:42.585
- In hebrews 4,
- 00:00:42.585 --> 00:00:43.920
- "and let us labor therefore to enter that rest."
- 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.656
- The law was given to expose every one of us
- 00:00:46.656 --> 00:00:49.526
- So that all of us will see our need for the savior, amen?
- 00:00:49.526 --> 00:00:52.629
- When you are under grace,
- 00:00:52.629 --> 00:00:54.063
- It was more than fulfilled the law, amen?
- 00:00:54.063 --> 00:00:56.699
- Love is the fulfilling of the law, hallelujah.
- 00:00:56.699 --> 00:00:59.269
- When you find that, having done all, stand and say,
- 00:00:59.269 --> 00:01:01.738
- "lord, i'm resting in you.
- 00:01:01.738 --> 00:01:03.273
- I'm resting in you.
- 00:01:03.273 --> 00:01:04.607
- I don't have the faith to believe for my healing,
- 00:01:04.607 --> 00:01:06.609
- But i'm resting in you, lord jesus,
- 00:01:06.609 --> 00:01:08.978
- That your faith will carry me through.
- 00:01:08.978 --> 00:01:11.314
- I live by the faith of the son of god.
- 00:01:11.314 --> 00:01:13.683
- Lord, in regards to this situation,
- 00:01:13.683 --> 00:01:15.818
- My financial situation, lord, i rest in you, lord.
- 00:01:15.818 --> 00:01:18.888
- I thank you, lord, because you are working on it.
- 00:01:18.888 --> 00:01:21.124
- You are working on it, and i praise you.
- 00:01:21.124 --> 00:01:22.659
- My job is just to rest and to praise you,
- 00:01:22.659 --> 00:01:25.295
- To believe you, lord, to thank you, lord,
- 00:01:25.295 --> 00:01:27.797
- To enjoy your love for me."
- 00:01:27.797 --> 00:01:29.465
- If you'll do that, when you rest, god will work.
- 00:01:29.465 --> 00:01:32.702
- And he will work wonders.
- 00:01:32.702 --> 00:01:34.037
- Whenever he works, he makes all things beautiful,

- Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
- 00:02:13.109 --> 00:02:15.378
- With today's program.
- 00:02:15.378 --> 00:02:17.046
- Joseph prince: now let's look at john chapter 5:
- 00:02:17.046 --> 00:02:20.049
- "after this there was a feast of the jews,
- 00:02:20.049 --> 00:02:21.818
- And jesus went up to jerusalem.
- 00:02:21.818 --> 00:02:24.621
- Now there is in jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool."
- 00:02:24.621 --> 00:02:28.491
- Now, keep this in mind.
- 00:02:28.491 --> 00:02:29.926
- In jerusalem there's a place called the sheep gate.
- 00:02:29.926 --> 00:02:32.428
- There are a number of gates around jerusalem
- 00:02:32.428 --> 00:02:34.998
- And one of the gates is called the sheep gate.
- 00:02:34.998 --> 00:02:37.934
- "and by the sheep gate there was a pool,
- 00:02:37.934 --> 00:02:40.103
- Which is called in hebrew, bethesda, having five porches.
- 00:02:40.103 --> 00:02:45.308
- The word here, "bethesda," is the word bet-hesed.
- 00:02:45.308 --> 00:02:49.946
- Bet is house. bet is house.
- 00:02:49.946 --> 00:02:52.248
- Like you would say, beth-lehem. bet is house; lehem is bread.
- 00:02:52.248 --> 00:02:56.619
- Jesus was born in the house of bread,
- 00:02:56.619 --> 00:02:58.321
- And he is the bread of life, amen?
- 00:02:58.321 --> 00:03:00.323
- Bet-hesed. hesed is...grace, amen.
- 00:03:00.323 --> 00:03:04.627
- Bet is house.
- 00:03:04.627 --> 00:03:06.296
- And notice that it has five porches, five colonnades,
- 00:03:06.296 --> 00:03:10.400
- Five porches.
- 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:11.734
- Five is the number of grace. five is the number of grace.
- 00:03:11.734 --> 00:03:15.071
- If you look at the tabernacle,
- 00:03:15.071 --> 00:03:16.506
- It's all in measurements of five and multiples of five.
- 00:03:16.506 --> 00:03:20.376
- The fifth time noah's name was mentioned, it says,
- 00:03:20.376 --> 00:03:23.046
- "noah found grace in the eyes of the lord," amen.
- 00:03:23.046 --> 00:03:28.184
- The fifth time ruth's name was mentioned, ruth says,
- 00:03:28.184 --> 00:03:32.021
- "i shall find grace," amen?
- 00:03:32.021 --> 00:03:35.124
- So five is a number of grace, amen.
- 00:03:35.124 --> 00:03:38.795
- Just like--in the bible, scripture numerics,
- 00:03:38.795 --> 00:03:42.231
- God is very careful about portraying truths with numbers,
- 00:03:42.231 --> 00:03:46.502
- Amen.
- 00:03:46.502 --> 00:03:47.837
- And this is not numerology, okay?
- 00:03:47.837 --> 00:03:49.172
- This is scripture numerics,
- 00:03:49.172 --> 00:03:52.141
- Which means every number has a meaning.
- 00:03:52.141 --> 00:03:54.344
- Just like the hebrew-- even names have a meaning,
- 00:03:54.344 --> 00:03:57.213
- Which we'll see soon.
- 00:03:57.213 --> 00:03:58.881
- Just like right now, we see bethesda, you know,
- 00:03:58.881 --> 00:04:01.084
- The house of grace.
- 00:04:01.084 --> 00:04:02.552
- Hesed is grace.
- 00:04:02.552 --> 00:04:03.886
- As i was preparing this, the lord reminded me of
- 00:04:03.886 --> 00:04:06.622
- The five loaf and two fish,
- 00:04:06.622 --> 00:04:08.291
- So five is hei, and then you have the two fish,
- 00:04:08.291 --> 00:04:10.760
- Which is bet, amen.
- 00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:12.095
- Number two is bet.
- 00:04:12.095 --> 00:04:13.429
- Alef, bet. bet is number two.
- 00:04:13.429 --> 00:04:15.431
- So what is god saying here literally?
- 00:04:15.431 --> 00:04:18.701
- Bet is also house, right? bet is a picture of a house.
- 00:04:18.701 --> 00:04:22.205
- Like we said,
- 00:04:22.205 --> 00:04:23.539
- Bethesda, bet-lehem. bet is house.
- 00:04:23.539 --> 00:04:26.042
- And you have five. house of grace.
- 00:04:26.042 --> 00:04:28.277
- Only in the house of grace can you find food and supply.
- 00:04:28.277 --> 00:04:32.715
- No wonder the prodigal son--
- 00:04:32.715 --> 00:04:34.050
- What attracted him to return to the father's house was this:
- 00:04:34.050 --> 00:04:37.920
- "in my father's house, there's bread enough and to spare,"
- 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:42.992
- Amen?
- 00:04:42.992 --> 00:04:44.327
- There's bread enough and to spare.
- 00:04:44.327 --> 00:04:45.661
- And jesus demonstrated that he is the bread of life, amen?
- 00:04:45.661 --> 00:04:49.365
- In the house of bread.
- 00:04:49.365 --> 00:04:50.700
- So today the house of grace,
- 00:04:50.700 --> 00:04:53.770
- The house of bread is the church, amen,
- 00:04:53.770 --> 00:04:57.940
- The church.
- 00:04:57.940 --> 00:04:59.275
- Every time you invite someone to tune in to the church, amen,
- 00:04:59.275 --> 00:05:02.512
- And to be part of the church,
- 00:05:02.512 --> 00:05:04.180
- You are doing them the greatest blessing ever,
- 00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:07.517
- Amen, this side of heaven.
- 00:05:07.517 --> 00:05:09.185
- Because you are introducing them with all their needs,
- 00:05:09.185 --> 00:05:12.789
- With all their multitudinous problems,
- 00:05:12.789 --> 00:05:15.391
- And you are bringing them to the supply.
- 00:05:15.391 --> 00:05:17.627
- In the father's house, there's bread enough and to spare.
- 00:05:17.627 --> 00:05:20.630
- And by the way, jesus calls healing
- 00:05:20.630 --> 00:05:23.132
- The children's bread, amen.
- 00:05:23.132 --> 00:05:25.501
- It's all about feeding, feeding, feeding, amen?
- 00:05:25.501 --> 00:05:28.604
- We eat the bread, we become strong and whole, hallelujah.
- 00:05:28.604 --> 00:05:32.508
- Back to john 5.
- 00:05:32.508 --> 00:05:33.843
- "in these lay a great multitude of sick people,
- 00:05:33.843 --> 00:05:36.813
- Blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.
- 00:05:36.813 --> 00:05:41.751
- For an angel went down at a certain time
- 00:05:41.751 --> 00:05:44.153
- Into the pool and stirred up the water;
- 00:05:44.153 --> 00:05:47.089
- Then whoever stepped in first,
- 00:05:47.089 --> 00:05:48.758
- After the stirring of the water--
- 00:05:48.758 --> 00:05:51.194
- Whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water,
- 00:05:51.194 --> 00:05:53.129
- Was made well of whatever disease he had."
- 00:05:53.129 --> 00:05:55.231
- Now, again, it's a picture of the law.
- 00:05:55.231 --> 00:05:58.034
- Why?
- 00:05:58.034 --> 00:05:59.368
- The law always demands for some strength on your part
- 00:05:59.368 --> 00:06:03.673
- To execute an action, amen.
- 00:06:03.673 --> 00:06:06.209
- But we are bankrupt. we are spiritually bankrupt.
- 00:06:06.209 --> 00:06:08.478
- We have no strength of our own.
- 00:06:08.478 --> 00:06:10.279
- The bible says we are without strength.
- 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.315
- Christ came and died for us, amen?
- 00:06:12.315 --> 00:06:14.784
- But we are such creatures of laborious effort.
- 00:06:14.784 --> 00:06:18.454
- You know, we are always trying to be worthy enough,
- 00:06:18.454 --> 00:06:21.991
- To be deserving enough, to receive, to be holy enough
- 00:06:21.991 --> 00:06:25.595
- To receive from god.
- 00:06:25.595 --> 00:06:26.929
- It's always work, work, work. and we don't realize we cannot.
- 00:06:26.929 --> 00:06:30.766
- And the idea of the law is
- 00:06:30.766 --> 00:06:32.468
- "thou shall not, thou shall not."
- 00:06:32.468 --> 00:06:34.136
- It puts back the whole thing on your strength.
- 00:06:34.136 --> 00:06:36.973
- And god knew from the start, when god gave the law,
- 00:06:36.973 --> 00:06:39.675
- That man cannot.
- 00:06:39.675 --> 00:06:41.010
- So why did god give the law?
- 00:06:41.010 --> 00:06:42.345
- By the law is the knowledge of sin, amen?
- 00:06:42.345 --> 00:06:45.248
- The law is like a mirror.
- 00:06:45.248 --> 00:06:46.883
- It is so true to the reflection, right?
- 00:06:46.883 --> 00:06:51.954
- Of who you are, the mirror reflects.
- 00:06:51.954 --> 00:06:54.090
- But you see a blemish on your face.
- 00:06:54.090 --> 00:06:55.558
- You look at the mirror, you see the blemish.
- 00:06:55.558 --> 00:06:56.926
- You cannot use the mirror to wipe away the blemish.
- 00:06:56.926 --> 00:06:59.996
- That's what the law is, amen? god knew we cannot keep the law.
- 00:06:59.996 --> 00:07:03.699
- God knew that, amen?
- 00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:05.301
- That doesn't mean today, we're not under the law,
- 00:07:05.301 --> 00:07:07.537
- We don't live a holy life.
- 00:07:07.537 --> 00:07:08.871
- No, no, no. a thousand times no.
- 00:07:08.871 --> 00:07:10.206
- In fact, the more you fall in love with jesus,
- 00:07:10.206 --> 00:07:12.508
- You fall out of love with sin.
- 00:07:12.508 --> 00:07:14.310
- The more you fall in love with jesus,
- 00:07:14.310 --> 00:07:16.012
- The want-to's and all that just falls into place.
- 00:07:16.012 --> 00:07:18.881
- "if you love me, keep my commandments," jesus says.
- 00:07:18.881 --> 00:07:21.250
- Don't see that as "you've got to love me
- 00:07:21.250 --> 00:07:22.852
- By keeping the commandments."
- 00:07:22.852 --> 00:07:24.186
- No, "if you love me, keep my commandments," amen.
- 00:07:24.186 --> 00:07:26.722
- And the commandment of jesus, not the ten commandments,
- 00:07:26.722 --> 00:07:28.724
- It's "love one another as i have loved you."
- 00:07:28.724 --> 00:07:31.727
- Does that mean today we are not under law,
- 00:07:31.727 --> 00:07:33.763
- We don't keep the ten commandments?
- 00:07:33.763 --> 00:07:35.364
- No, we supersede the ten commandments.
- 00:07:35.364 --> 00:07:37.733
- Instead of "thou shalt not steal,"
- 00:07:37.733 --> 00:07:39.602
- We become generous, amen?
- 00:07:39.602 --> 00:07:42.538
- We lavish ourselves-- of all that god has given us,
- 00:07:42.538 --> 00:07:46.976
- We pour out unto others, amen.
- 00:07:46.976 --> 00:07:50.212
- You know, you can keep "thou shalt not steal"
- 00:07:50.212 --> 00:07:52.515
- And still not be generous, amen.
- 00:07:52.515 --> 00:07:55.451
- Thou shalt not commit adultery.
- 00:07:55.451 --> 00:07:56.919
- Well, a lot of people interpret that as physical adultery.
- 00:07:56.919 --> 00:07:59.488
- "i don't jump into a bed with another woman
- 00:07:59.488 --> 00:08:02.024
- Other than my wife, all right, i'm okay."
- 00:08:02.024 --> 00:08:04.360
- No, no, friend.
- 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:05.695
- As long as you're giving someone, you know,
- 00:08:05.695 --> 00:08:07.430
- The eye, the lustful eye,
- 00:08:07.430 --> 00:08:09.365
- Jesus says you've committed adultery already.
- 00:08:09.365 --> 00:08:11.300
- So you know what?
- 00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:12.635
- The law was given to expose every one of us
- 00:08:12.635 --> 00:08:15.004
- So that all of us will see our need for the savior, amen?
- 00:08:15.004 --> 00:08:18.274
- So today, when you have the savior in your life, amen,
- 00:08:18.274 --> 00:08:21.744
- The very thought of being unfaithful to your wife,
- 00:08:21.744 --> 00:08:24.213
- Amen, you shrink away from it.
- 00:08:24.213 --> 00:08:25.948
- And that's something that no one can see
- 00:08:25.948 --> 00:08:27.483
- Because it goes on inside.
- 00:08:27.483 --> 00:08:28.851
- The holy spirit is there, praise god.
- 00:08:28.851 --> 00:08:31.053
- So i remind you once again: when you are under grace,
- 00:08:31.053 --> 00:08:34.190
- It was more than fulfilled the law, amen?
- 00:08:34.190 --> 00:08:36.859
- Love is the fulfilling of the law, hallelujah.
- 00:08:36.859 --> 00:08:39.428
- Now back to this again.
- 00:08:39.428 --> 00:08:40.763
- So the one who has the effort, who can step in
- 00:08:40.763 --> 00:08:44.934
- After the angel stirs the water, right,
- 00:08:44.934 --> 00:08:47.503
- It implies some effort.
- 00:08:47.503 --> 00:08:48.871
- He's the one that gets healed.
- 00:08:48.871 --> 00:08:50.539
- So how about the guy who is lame, paralyzed?
- 00:08:50.539 --> 00:08:53.943
- He can't even, like, he has to-- while he's crawling,
- 00:08:53.943 --> 00:08:57.346
- Scooting his way through the water,
- 00:08:57.346 --> 00:08:59.482
- Someone else step in, which is the case here.
- 00:08:59.482 --> 00:09:02.284
- The bible says, "now a certain man
- 00:09:02.284 --> 00:09:03.619
- Was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
- 00:09:03.619 --> 00:09:07.356
- When jesus saw him lying there,
- 00:09:07.356 --> 00:09:09.225
- And knew that he already had been in that condition
- 00:09:09.225 --> 00:09:11.494
- A long time, jesus said to him,
- 00:09:11.494 --> 00:09:15.031
- 'do you want to be made well?'
- 00:09:15.031 --> 00:09:16.899
- The sick man answered him, 'sir, i have no man to put me
- 00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:20.069
- Into the pool when the water is stirred up;
- 00:09:20.069 --> 00:09:22.938
- But while i am coming, another steps down before me.'"
- 00:09:22.938 --> 00:09:26.108
- There you go, amen? he is lame.
- 00:09:26.108 --> 00:09:30.079
- He cannot. he cannot even walk, right?
- 00:09:30.079 --> 00:09:35.051
- "jesus said to him, 'rise, take up your bed and walk.'
- 00:09:35.051 --> 00:09:40.489
- And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed,
- 00:09:40.489 --> 00:09:44.627
- And walked.
- 00:09:44.627 --> 00:09:45.961
- And that day was the sabbath.
- 00:09:45.961 --> 00:09:47.697
- The jews therefore said to him who was cured,
- 00:09:47.697 --> 00:09:50.166
- 'it is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you
- 00:09:50.166 --> 00:09:52.735
- To carry your bed.'"
- 00:09:52.735 --> 00:09:54.070
- Now let's see what he said.
- 00:09:54.070 --> 00:09:55.404
- "he answered them, 'he who made me well said to me,
- 00:09:55.404 --> 00:09:57.640
- "take up your bed and walk."'"
- 00:09:57.640 --> 00:09:59.208
- You know, if you are lying down flat, for 38 years,
- 00:09:59.208 --> 00:10:03.145
- You can't walk.
- 00:10:03.145 --> 00:10:04.480
- What is rest to you? what is rest to you?
- 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.616
- Is rest lying down some more? no, of course not.
- 00:10:07.616 --> 00:10:11.520
- For the person has has been lying down
- 00:10:11.520 --> 00:10:13.989
- For 38 years, rest is getting up.
- 00:10:13.989 --> 00:10:16.158
- So jesus says, "rise, take up your bed and walk.
- 00:10:16.158 --> 00:10:19.195
- Take up your bed. take your rest," amen?
- 00:10:19.195 --> 00:10:22.331
- Now you can't take-- unless you are standing.
- 00:10:22.331 --> 00:10:24.633
- So it's a picture of righteousness, amen.
- 00:10:24.633 --> 00:10:26.669
- Now you are the righteousness of god in christ.
- 00:10:26.669 --> 00:10:28.871
- Take your rest with you, amen? take your rest.
- 00:10:28.871 --> 00:10:32.208
- Walk in rest. don't leave your rest behind.
- 00:10:32.208 --> 00:10:34.543
- The principle of rest is still there.
- 00:10:34.543 --> 00:10:36.412
- "now that you are the righteousness of god
- 00:10:36.412 --> 00:10:37.880
- In christ,
- 00:10:37.880 --> 00:10:39.215
- 'rise, take up your bed, and walk.'"
- 00:10:39.215 --> 00:10:40.549
- Only then, when we proceed from rest, amen,
- 00:10:40.549 --> 00:10:42.985
- And realizing our position
- 00:10:42.985 --> 00:10:44.720
- That we are righteous before god, amen, confess daily,
- 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.224
- "i am the righteousness of god in christ."
- 00:10:48.224 --> 00:10:50.226
- Then you can walk.
- 00:10:50.226 --> 00:10:51.794
- Then you have the power to walk in the spirit,
- 00:10:51.794 --> 00:10:54.130
- Walk in holiness,
- 00:10:54.130 --> 00:10:55.464
- Walk worthy of the glory of god, hallelujah, amen,
- 00:10:55.464 --> 00:10:58.801
- Walk a victorious life, amen.
- 00:10:58.801 --> 00:11:01.837
- And notice what they said.
- 00:11:01.837 --> 00:11:03.172
- The jews saw him carrying his mat.
- 00:11:03.172 --> 00:11:06.008
- "and they said, 'today is the sabbath.
- 00:11:06.008 --> 00:11:09.311
- How come you're carrying the mat?'
- 00:11:09.311 --> 00:11:10.713
- He answered them, 'he who made me well said to me,
- 00:11:10.713 --> 00:11:14.383
- "take up your bed and walk!"'
- 00:11:14.383 --> 00:11:17.253
- Then they asked him, 'who is the man who said to you,
- 00:11:17.253 --> 00:11:21.090
- "take up your bed and walk"?'"
- 00:11:21.090 --> 00:11:23.893
- Now let me call your attention to these two again,
- 00:11:23.893 --> 00:11:26.595
- These two verses.
- 00:11:26.595 --> 00:11:28.297
- "he answered them, 'he who made me well said to me,
- 00:11:28.297 --> 00:11:32.735
- "take up your bed and walk."'"
- 00:11:32.735 --> 00:11:34.069
- Notice the emphasis of the man who was healed
- 00:11:34.069 --> 00:11:35.738
- Was "he who made me well!"
- 00:11:35.738 --> 00:11:40.276
- "they asked him, 'who is the man who said to you,
- 00:11:40.276 --> 00:11:43.612
- "take up your bed and walk"?'"
- 00:11:43.612 --> 00:11:45.581
- Their focus was on work.
- 00:11:45.581 --> 00:11:48.584
- Their focus was not on the fact that he was healed.
- 00:11:48.584 --> 00:11:51.587
- Now, which is supernatural?
- 00:11:51.587 --> 00:11:55.257
- Which is really something that will bring joy
- 00:11:55.257 --> 00:11:57.426
- To your heart?
- 00:11:57.426 --> 00:11:58.761
- To know that your body is healed
- 00:11:58.761 --> 00:12:00.529
- Or "take up your bed and walk," amen?
- 00:12:00.529 --> 00:12:04.066
- Which is the work that they are emphasizing.
- 00:12:04.066 --> 00:12:06.035
- So it's a matter of perspective.
- 00:12:06.035 --> 00:12:07.803
- For them, they look at the man and they ask the question
- 00:12:07.803 --> 00:12:11.373
- "it is a sabbath day.
- 00:12:11.373 --> 00:12:12.708
- Why are you carrying your bed?"
- 00:12:12.708 --> 00:12:16.011
- His answer was "he who made me well said to me,
- 00:12:16.011 --> 00:12:19.181
- 'take up your bed and walk.'"
- 00:12:19.181 --> 00:12:21.016
- And they said, instead of seeing that he made him well,
- 00:12:21.016 --> 00:12:24.987
- "tell me who made you well," right?
- 00:12:24.987 --> 00:12:26.655
- "come on, tell me who made you well.
- 00:12:26.655 --> 00:12:27.990
- I want to bring him to see my aunt who is flat on her back
- 00:12:27.990 --> 00:12:31.994
- With this paralysis.
- 00:12:31.994 --> 00:12:33.596
- And come, tell me who is the one that made you well.
- 00:12:33.596 --> 00:12:37.099
- Tell me who is the man.
- 00:12:37.099 --> 00:12:38.434
- I want to bring him to see my son.
- 00:12:38.434 --> 00:12:39.768
- I want to bring him to see my daughter.
- 00:12:39.768 --> 00:12:41.570
- Come on, tell me, tell me, who is the man?"
- 00:12:41.570 --> 00:12:43.806
- Instead of focusing on that.
- 00:12:43.806 --> 00:12:46.876
- And there are people like that today, you know?
- 00:12:46.876 --> 00:12:48.210
- They'll focus-- they won't focus on
- 00:12:48.210 --> 00:12:49.712
- The ten people that are healed.
- 00:12:49.712 --> 00:12:51.413
- They will focus on someone who is not healed
- 00:12:51.413 --> 00:12:53.549
- And start to berate the entire ministry.
- 00:12:53.549 --> 00:12:56.986
- No, it's a matter of focus, amen.
- 00:12:56.986 --> 00:12:59.288
- They look at that and they are focused on work.
- 00:12:59.288 --> 00:13:02.858
- "no, no. you broke the sabbath.
- 00:13:02.858 --> 00:13:04.760
- You are carrying the bed.
- 00:13:04.760 --> 00:13:06.095
- Who is the one that told you to carry your bed?"
- 00:13:06.095 --> 00:13:07.830
- Instead of "who is the one that made you well?"
- 00:13:07.830 --> 00:13:10.199
- And they could have been well as well before the day ends, hm?
- 00:13:10.199 --> 00:13:14.203
- Let's keep on reading.
- 00:13:14.203 --> 00:13:15.537
- "but jesus answered them,
- 00:13:15.537 --> 00:13:17.072
- 'my father has been working until now,
- 00:13:17.072 --> 00:13:19.775
- And i have been working.'"
- 00:13:19.775 --> 00:13:22.378
- Did you hear that?
- 00:13:22.378 --> 00:13:23.712
- "my father has been working until now," so when god works,
- 00:13:23.712 --> 00:13:30.185
- People get healed, hallelujah.
- 00:13:30.185 --> 00:13:32.288
- Healing is god working.
- 00:13:32.288 --> 00:13:35.124
- I repeat: healing is the father working, amen?
- 00:13:35.124 --> 00:13:39.828
- And jesus says, "and i work also.
- 00:13:39.828 --> 00:13:42.331
- When i see my father healing, i flow with him.
- 00:13:42.331 --> 00:13:45.668
- I work also."
- 00:13:45.668 --> 00:13:47.002
- And remember this: when god works,
- 00:13:47.002 --> 00:13:49.872
- Man should cease, man should rest.
- 00:13:49.872 --> 00:13:54.610
- And that's why the bible says, "our rest today," in hebrews 4,
- 00:13:54.610 --> 00:13:58.514
- "and let us labor therefore to enter that rest,
- 00:13:58.514 --> 00:14:01.684
- Lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."
- 00:14:01.684 --> 00:14:06.622
- Therefore it tells us the opposite of unbelief
- 00:14:06.622 --> 00:14:08.691
- Is not to rest.
- 00:14:08.691 --> 00:14:10.159
- And our only labor, child of god,
- 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.161
- Your only labor today is to labor to enter the rest.
- 00:14:12.161 --> 00:14:15.664
- The devil comes to you and says, "what about your children?
- 00:14:15.664 --> 00:14:18.000
- What about that problem, that challenge,
- 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.435
- And all that--in school?"
- 00:14:19.435 --> 00:14:21.537
- You know, you just say, "well, lord,
- 00:14:21.537 --> 00:14:24.106
- I'm entering into your rest even for this.
- 00:14:24.106 --> 00:14:26.308
- I rest and i see you work."
- 00:14:26.308 --> 00:14:28.143
- It doesn't mean you rest, nothing will happen.
- 00:14:28.143 --> 00:14:30.245
- For the world, it is true, okay?
- 00:14:30.245 --> 00:14:32.281
- But for you, child of god, you have a shepherd, amen?
- 00:14:32.281 --> 00:14:35.017
- You have a father who watches over you.
- 00:14:35.017 --> 00:14:36.952
- When you rest, god works.
- 00:14:36.952 --> 00:14:39.722
- But if you want to work, amen, god rest.
- 00:14:39.722 --> 00:14:43.292
- You choose, amen. when you rest, god works.
- 00:14:43.292 --> 00:14:46.061
- The lord is saying, "my father is working," amen?
- 00:14:46.061 --> 00:14:49.598
- "that man--there's a reason i'm healing on the sabbath.
- 00:14:49.598 --> 00:14:52.401
- It's because sabbath is man's rest day, amen.
- 00:14:52.401 --> 00:14:55.270
- Man rests on that day. you don't work."
- 00:14:55.270 --> 00:14:58.374
- And that's why jesus performs so many healings
- 00:14:58.374 --> 00:15:00.342
- On the sabbath, amen.
- 00:15:00.342 --> 00:15:02.544
- When man is rested, god is able to touch and heal.
- 00:15:02.544 --> 00:15:05.881
- Now, one thing about healing,
- 00:15:05.881 --> 00:15:07.216
- I've noticed that when people learn about healing
- 00:15:07.216 --> 00:15:09.018
- And all that, one of the things they do:
- 00:15:09.018 --> 00:15:10.452
- They want so much to be healed
- 00:15:10.452 --> 00:15:11.887
- That sometimes they get into works.
- 00:15:11.887 --> 00:15:14.990
- They try to--"have i confessed all my sins?
- 00:15:14.990 --> 00:15:18.494
- Have i confessed the word of god enough?
- 00:15:18.494 --> 00:15:20.429
- Have i done this?"
- 00:15:20.429 --> 00:15:21.764
- And whenever you find yourself striving,
- 00:15:21.764 --> 00:15:24.099
- No more in rest, it's a clear example
- 00:15:24.099 --> 00:15:27.036
- Of you are now in unbelief, okay?
- 00:15:27.036 --> 00:15:29.605
- So don't do that, amen?
- 00:15:29.605 --> 00:15:31.240
- When you find that, having done all, stand and say,
- 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.709
- "lord, i'm resting in you.
- 00:15:33.709 --> 00:15:35.244
- I'm resting in you.
- 00:15:35.244 --> 00:15:36.578
- I don't have the faith to believe for my healing,
- 00:15:36.578 --> 00:15:38.580
- But i'm resting in you, lord jesus,
- 00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:40.949
- That your faith will carry me through.
- 00:15:40.949 --> 00:15:43.285
- I live by the faith of the son of god.
- 00:15:43.285 --> 00:15:45.654
- Lord, in regards to this situation,
- 00:15:45.654 --> 00:15:47.790
- My financial situation, lord, i rest in you, lord.
- 00:15:47.790 --> 00:15:50.859
- I thank you, lord, because you are working on it.
- 00:15:50.859 --> 00:15:53.095
- You are working on it, and i praise you.
- 00:15:53.095 --> 00:15:54.630
- My job is just to rest and to praise you,
- 00:15:54.630 --> 00:15:57.266
- To believe you, lord, to thank you, lord,
- 00:15:57.266 --> 00:15:59.768
- To enjoy your love for me."
- 00:15:59.768 --> 00:16:01.437
- If you'll do that, when you rest, god will work.
- 00:16:01.437 --> 00:16:04.673
- And he will work wonders.
- 00:16:04.673 --> 00:16:06.008
- Whenever he works, he makes all things beautiful,
- 00:16:06.008 --> 00:16:09.411
- The bible says, hallelujah.
- 00:16:09.411 --> 00:16:10.746
- Thank you, jesus.
- 00:16:10.746 --> 00:16:12.081
- "therefore the jews sought all the more to kill him,
- 00:16:12.081 --> 00:16:13.849
- Because he not only broke the sabbath, but also said
- 00:16:13.849 --> 00:16:16.452
- That god was his father, making himself equal with god," amen?
- 00:16:16.452 --> 00:16:20.122
- The bible says, "my words, they are life
- 00:16:20.122 --> 00:16:23.892
- Unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh."
- 00:16:23.892 --> 00:16:28.864
- You know, one of the times
- 00:16:28.864 --> 00:16:30.199
- When i was reading the word of god--
- 00:16:30.199 --> 00:16:31.533
- Just to excite you, okay, just to excite you--
- 00:16:31.533 --> 00:16:32.868
- One of the times when i was reading god's word
- 00:16:32.868 --> 00:16:34.203
- In nehemiah 3, and this is what i read.
- 00:16:34.203 --> 00:16:37.272
- The first time the sheep gate was mentioned is here.
- 00:16:37.272 --> 00:16:41.710
- "then eliashib the high priest rose up
- 00:16:41.710 --> 00:16:44.346
- With the brethren the priests and built the sheep gate."
- 00:16:44.346 --> 00:16:48.484
- Does that ring a bell?
- 00:16:48.484 --> 00:16:49.818
- The sheep gate of john 5. we just read that.
- 00:16:49.818 --> 00:16:52.421
- And this is the first time the sheep gate is mentioned
- 00:16:52.421 --> 00:16:54.756
- In the bible.
- 00:16:54.756 --> 00:16:56.091
- And it's the time when nehemiah and his people were rebuilding
- 00:16:56.091 --> 00:17:00.596
- The walls of jerusalem.
- 00:17:00.596 --> 00:17:02.264
- And they were rebuilding and repairing
- 00:17:02.264 --> 00:17:05.300
- The gates of the walls, all the different gates.
- 00:17:05.300 --> 00:17:09.705
- But notice the very first gate they repaired
- 00:17:09.705 --> 00:17:12.741
- Was the sheep gate, was the sheep gate.
- 00:17:12.741 --> 00:17:15.544
- So when i read this, i felt the spirit of god impress on me
- 00:17:15.544 --> 00:17:18.547
- To look up the names and then to study the names.
- 00:17:18.547 --> 00:17:21.216
- So i studied eliashib. eliashib means "god restores."
- 00:17:21.216 --> 00:17:25.888
- Wow, i said, this is interesting.
- 00:17:25.888 --> 00:17:27.990
- So you have the sheep, right?
- 00:17:27.990 --> 00:17:30.425
- And do you remember that, talking about sheep,
- 00:17:30.425 --> 00:17:34.363
- Jesus's love for the flock is such that he shared
- 00:17:34.363 --> 00:17:37.799
- A parable one time: "what man of you,
- 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:40.035
- Having a hundred sheep, if he loses one,
- 00:17:40.035 --> 00:17:44.373
- Will not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness
- 00:17:44.373 --> 00:17:46.575
- And go out to find the lost one until he finds it?"
- 00:17:46.575 --> 00:17:50.479
- I love the way he says it. "until he finds it."
- 00:17:50.479 --> 00:17:54.383
- Even if you're lost, the lord is going to find you.
- 00:17:54.383 --> 00:17:56.718
- He's going to seek you out and find you.
- 00:17:56.718 --> 00:17:58.687
- He won't rest until he finds you, amen, praise the lord.
- 00:17:58.687 --> 00:18:02.724
- Until he finds it.
- 00:18:02.724 --> 00:18:04.059
- Now, he says, "what man of you will do that?"
- 00:18:04.059 --> 00:18:06.762
- None of us will leave the 99 just to go for the one.
- 00:18:06.762 --> 00:18:10.832
- We'll say, "let's cut the losses," amen?
- 00:18:10.832 --> 00:18:12.434
- "if i leave the 99, something might happen to them."
- 00:18:12.434 --> 00:18:15.103
- Just for the one that's lost, but for the lord,
- 00:18:15.103 --> 00:18:17.573
- His perspective is different, amen?
- 00:18:17.573 --> 00:18:19.508
- He'll go for the one that's lost, amen?
- 00:18:19.508 --> 00:18:21.643
- I'm sure that he'll put the 99
- 00:18:21.643 --> 00:18:23.979
- In the custody of another shepherd
- 00:18:23.979 --> 00:18:26.215
- Or someone else to make sure they are safe.
- 00:18:26.215 --> 00:18:27.783
- He's responsible, of course.
- 00:18:27.783 --> 00:18:29.451
- But the good shepherd will look for the lost until he finds it.
- 00:18:29.451 --> 00:18:32.988
- And jesus illustrated the hundred sheep, okay?
- 00:18:32.988 --> 00:18:36.158
- Now watch this in this nehemiah story.
- 00:18:36.158 --> 00:18:38.660
- "they consecrated the-- they built the sheep gate;
- 00:18:38.660 --> 00:18:41.763
- They consecrated it and hung its doors.
- 00:18:41.763 --> 00:18:44.266
- They built as far as the tower of the hundred."
- 00:18:44.266 --> 00:18:47.402
- There you have the hundred.
- 00:18:47.402 --> 00:18:48.737
- Hundred sheep, god restores. mm, interesting.
- 00:18:48.737 --> 00:18:53.175
- I was getting very excited when i saw this.
- 00:18:53.175 --> 00:18:54.776
- "and consecrated it,
- 00:18:54.776 --> 00:18:56.378
- Then as far as the tower of hananel."
- 00:18:56.378 --> 00:19:00.282
- Hanan-el. hananel.
- 00:19:00.282 --> 00:19:03.418
- Hanan is favor or grace. el is god.
- 00:19:03.418 --> 00:19:07.456
- So it's the grace of god.
- 00:19:07.456 --> 00:19:09.291
- It's another way of saying the house of grace.
- 00:19:09.291 --> 00:19:13.662
- Isn't this amazing?
- 00:19:13.662 --> 00:19:14.997
- The father put the story that we just read just now
- 00:19:14.997 --> 00:19:19.067
- Of his son at this point in time
- 00:19:19.067 --> 00:19:22.437
- When the walls were being rebuilt.
- 00:19:22.437 --> 00:19:24.072
- It's in the old testament. he has not yet come.
- 00:19:24.072 --> 00:19:28.143
- He has not yet come even as a baby, amen?
- 00:19:28.143 --> 00:19:31.546
- The story of john 5 has not yet happened.
- 00:19:31.546 --> 00:19:34.116
- Yet the father loved his son so much, amen,
- 00:19:34.116 --> 00:19:38.520
- The father put this in the nehemiah,
- 00:19:38.520 --> 00:19:41.990
- In the old testament, amen.
- 00:19:41.990 --> 00:19:43.925
- The very first mention of the sheep gate
- 00:19:43.925 --> 00:19:46.094
- Has an idea of, has a hint of, john 5,
- 00:19:46.094 --> 00:19:50.799
- Where jesus would heal that lost sheep, amen,
- 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:54.636
- Lost, amen--lost in his sin, lost in sickness--
- 00:19:54.636 --> 00:20:00.142
- And he would heal, amen, that one out of the hundred.
- 00:20:00.142 --> 00:20:05.280
- And, the grace of god.
- 00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:07.082
- So put this-- there's a message here.
- 00:20:07.082 --> 00:20:08.950
- And the message is this: god has restored that one lost sheep
- 00:20:08.950 --> 00:20:13.522
- Out of the hundred into his grace.
- 00:20:13.522 --> 00:20:16.024
- Now i just want to excite you because--by the way,
- 00:20:16.024 --> 00:20:17.693
- This is my bible when i first wrote it down,
- 00:20:17.693 --> 00:20:20.429
- Quite some time ago.
- 00:20:20.429 --> 00:20:21.763
- And notice this is exactly how i wrote it down.
- 00:20:21.763 --> 00:20:25.000
- And this is my white-margin bible.
- 00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.069
- I want to encourage you.
- 00:20:27.069 --> 00:20:28.403
- Have a relationship with your bible like this, amen?
- 00:20:28.403 --> 00:20:30.639
- Get excited. read the word of god.
- 00:20:30.639 --> 00:20:32.607
- Not every name you have to look it up.
- 00:20:32.607 --> 00:20:34.776
- But when the spirit of god, you know, touches you
- 00:20:34.776 --> 00:20:36.845
- Or impress on you to look it up,
- 00:20:36.845 --> 00:20:38.180
- Just, if you're curious, you know?
- 00:20:38.180 --> 00:20:39.648
- And then the holy spirit put that desire there.
- 00:20:39.648 --> 00:20:41.783
- Look it up, look it up.
- 00:20:41.783 --> 00:20:43.118
- Sometimes you look up the numbers,
- 00:20:43.118 --> 00:20:44.619
- And the numbers have a meaning.
- 00:20:44.619 --> 00:20:45.954
- Sometimes you look at a story and just a wide reading of it,
- 00:20:45.954 --> 00:20:48.957
- You feel a washing of the word of god, amen?
- 00:20:48.957 --> 00:20:52.527
- I mean, you can take time with your korean drama
- 00:20:52.527 --> 00:20:55.797
- And this drama and all that.
- 00:20:55.797 --> 00:20:57.366
- But if they are taking so much of your time
- 00:20:57.366 --> 00:20:59.735
- That you don't have time for the word,
- 00:20:59.735 --> 00:21:01.703
- These are not healthy things.
- 00:21:01.703 --> 00:21:03.038
- Why eat things that does not satisfy, amen?
- 00:21:03.038 --> 00:21:06.842
- I'm not saying you cannot.
- 00:21:06.842 --> 00:21:08.176
- I'm just saying don't get overboard with it, amen?
- 00:21:08.176 --> 00:21:10.645
- Don't get so obsessed with it to the point that, you know--
- 00:21:10.645 --> 00:21:14.449
- The most important thing the bible says:
- 00:21:14.449 --> 00:21:16.118
- "attend to my words."
- 00:21:16.118 --> 00:21:17.853
- Right before it says they are life, it says,
- 00:21:17.853 --> 00:21:19.488
- "attend to my words."
- 00:21:19.488 --> 00:21:20.822
- Attend means what?
- 00:21:20.822 --> 00:21:22.157
- If i'm busy and you say, "pastor prince, can i--"
- 00:21:22.157 --> 00:21:24.793
- I'll say, "i've got something to attend to.
- 00:21:24.793 --> 00:21:26.128
- I'll come back to you again." attend means there's a priority.
- 00:21:26.128 --> 00:21:28.764
- There's something i need to do, something important,
- 00:21:28.764 --> 00:21:31.366
- Could be a matter of life and death, right?
- 00:21:31.366 --> 00:21:33.502
- Attend, put things first, amen? first things first.
- 00:21:33.502 --> 00:21:36.705
- And then it says, "they are life to those that find them,
- 00:21:36.705 --> 00:21:40.575
- And health to all their flesh."
- 00:21:40.575 --> 00:21:43.245
- Praise god. so get into the word of god.
- 00:21:43.245 --> 00:21:45.046
- Get into the word of god, amen? god's word is exciting.
- 00:21:45.046 --> 00:21:48.250
- It has drama, romance, and pictures.
- 00:21:48.250 --> 00:21:53.255
- The chazon vision that god want to impart to you
- 00:21:53.255 --> 00:21:55.524
- That will steady you.
- 00:21:55.524 --> 00:21:56.858
- I believe that every time you tune in to god's word, amen,
- 00:21:56.858 --> 00:21:59.928
- Every time you are hungry and you get fed, amen,
- 00:21:59.928 --> 00:22:03.198
- You get fed, i believe that the messages,
- 00:22:03.198 --> 00:22:06.234
- The food that god gives me for you, will nourish you,
- 00:22:06.234 --> 00:22:10.472
- Sustain you, amen, strengthen you, revitalize you,
- 00:22:10.472 --> 00:22:16.111
- And prepare you, equip you, for the coming challenges, amen.
- 00:22:16.111 --> 00:22:20.682
- So god feeds you before he brings you to the battle, amen.
- 00:22:20.682 --> 00:22:23.885
- The battle is coming, and it's not from the lord.
- 00:22:23.885 --> 00:22:26.321
- Listen, god doesn't fight against you, okay?
- 00:22:26.321 --> 00:22:28.690
- The battle is from the enemy. but god nourishes you.
- 00:22:28.690 --> 00:22:31.326
- He makes sure that you are fed, amen?
- 00:22:31.326 --> 00:22:33.562
- Remember this?
- 00:22:33.562 --> 00:22:34.896
- Melchizedek met abraham
- 00:22:34.896 --> 00:22:36.865
- Before the king of sodom met abraham.
- 00:22:36.865 --> 00:22:39.434
- The king of sodom is a picture of the devil.
- 00:22:39.434 --> 00:22:41.436
- Melchizedek is our lord jesus.
- 00:22:41.436 --> 00:22:43.205
- God will always feed you before your temptation,
- 00:22:43.205 --> 00:22:46.808
- Before your testing, before your trial,
- 00:22:46.808 --> 00:22:50.011
- Before your battle, amen?
- 00:22:50.011 --> 00:22:51.746
- He nourishes you.
- 00:22:51.746 --> 00:22:53.081
- So when god wants to feed you, allow him to feed you, will you?
- 00:22:53.081 --> 00:22:56.651
- Praise the name of jesus.
- 00:22:56.651 --> 00:22:58.253
- Thank you, lord jesus, hallelujah.

- Joseph prince: i pray, father, right now, in the name of jesus,
- 00:23:32.354 --> 00:23:35.757
- That you will just impart to them, lord, that rest,
- 00:23:35.757 --> 00:23:38.426
- Lord, into their hearts, their minds, and their spirits,
- 00:23:38.426 --> 00:23:42.330
- And help them, father, give them the grace to labor
- 00:23:42.330 --> 00:23:46.067
- Throughout this week only for one thing, lord:
- 00:23:46.067 --> 00:23:49.037
- To enter the rest.
- 00:23:49.037 --> 00:23:50.438
- Labor to enter the rest.
- 00:23:50.438 --> 00:23:54.342
- I know it's an oxymoron, but labor to enter the rest,
- 00:23:54.342 --> 00:23:57.812
- Will you, amen?
- 00:23:57.812 --> 00:23:59.247
- The lord protect you and your loved ones
- 00:23:59.247 --> 00:24:00.982
- From every harm, danger, throughout this week.
- 00:24:00.982 --> 00:24:03.785
- The lord favors you, smiles on you,
- 00:24:03.785 --> 00:24:06.354
- Grant you supernatural favor everywhere you go.
- 00:24:06.354 --> 00:24:09.457
- You are a blessing going somewhere
- 00:24:09.457 --> 00:24:11.192
- To happen throughout this week.
- 00:24:11.192 --> 00:24:13.228
- And the lord lift up his countenance on you
- 00:24:13.228 --> 00:24:15.463
- And your loved ones
- 00:24:15.463 --> 00:24:16.798
- And grant to you and yours his wonderful shalom,
- 00:24:16.798 --> 00:24:20.936
- Well-being, wholeness, and peace.
- 00:24:20.936 --> 00:24:24.439
- In the name of the lord jesus christ, amen.
