  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.153
  • Joseph prince: god wants us humble, yes.
  • 00:00:12.097 --> 00:00:13.398
  • Humble means we realize that everything that we have,
  • 00:00:13.532 --> 00:00:15.767
  • We owe it to god.
  • 00:00:15.901 --> 00:00:17.603
  • So we are grateful and thankful for it.
  • 00:00:17.736 --> 00:00:18.437
  • That's how the lord loves you.
  • 00:00:19.571 --> 00:00:21.039
  • With all the power he has, he uses it to serve you.
  • 00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:25.244

  • And unveils a god who didn't come to just fix
  • 00:00:32.518 --> 00:00:34.453
  • Your past mistakes.
  • 00:00:34.453 --> 00:00:35.854
  • He came to set you free from every mistake--
  • 00:00:35.854 --> 00:00:38.490

  • Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:01:03.882 --> 00:01:06.185
  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:06.185 --> 00:01:07.619
  • Joseph prince: the whole reason that jesus came and died for us
  • 00:01:07.686 --> 00:01:10.055
  • On the cross, for our sins-- all right?--
  • 00:01:10.055 --> 00:01:13.725
  • So that sin is no more the subject between you and god.
  • 00:01:13.725 --> 00:01:19.097
  • It's a closed issue.
  • 00:01:19.097 --> 00:01:21.033
  • So when god deals with you, he wants you to know
  • 00:01:21.033 --> 00:01:23.101
  • He's not looking at you with all your faults.
  • 00:01:23.101 --> 00:01:25.771
  • Whenever--you know, you say,
  • 00:01:25.771 --> 00:01:27.105
  • "oh no, i just might have quarreled
  • 00:01:27.105 --> 00:01:28.440
  • With my wife.
  • 00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:29.775
  • Oh no, i come to god now because i'm desperate
  • 00:01:29.775 --> 00:01:31.376
  • For his favor.
  • 00:01:31.376 --> 00:01:32.711
  • My boss just called me and told me
  • 00:01:32.711 --> 00:01:34.346
  • That the deadline has been brought forward.
  • 00:01:34.346 --> 00:01:35.681
  • I need his favor, i need his wisdom, i need his help.
  • 00:01:35.681 --> 00:01:38.217
  • Oh man, but i shouldn't have quarreled my wife now."
  • 00:01:38.217 --> 00:01:41.587
  • So what are you obsessed with? not with his love.
  • 00:01:41.587 --> 00:01:45.023
  • You're not occupied with his goodness.
  • 00:01:45.023 --> 00:01:47.092
  • Not occupied what jesus did at the cross.
  • 00:01:47.092 --> 00:01:49.661
  • You think about it.
  • 00:01:49.661 --> 00:01:51.096
  • When jesus in the upper room, he said,
  • 00:01:51.096 --> 00:01:52.764
  • "god is glorified in him and i in god,"
  • 00:01:52.764 --> 00:01:55.667
  • You know when jesus said that?
  • 00:01:55.667 --> 00:01:57.035
  • Right when judas, he gave the sop, the bread,
  • 00:01:57.035 --> 00:02:00.439
  • He dipped it and gave it to judas.
  • 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:01.773
  • That's the greatest act of love.
  • 00:02:01.773 --> 00:02:03.442
  • In jewish tradition, when you dip your morsel of food
  • 00:02:03.442 --> 00:02:07.446
  • Into the tray and you give it to your--
  • 00:02:07.446 --> 00:02:12.084
  • Whoever you give it to,
  • 00:02:12.084 --> 00:02:13.418
  • That's the one that you love the most.
  • 00:02:13.418 --> 00:02:15.387
  • That's the one that you are actually honoring
  • 00:02:15.387 --> 00:02:18.190
  • The most--not honoring but loving the most, okay?
  • 00:02:18.190 --> 00:02:24.630
  • He can't be honoring the deed of judas.
  • 00:02:24.630 --> 00:02:28.100
  • Judas was in the process of betraying jesus
  • 00:02:28.100 --> 00:02:31.770
  • For 30 pieces of silver.
  • 00:02:31.770 --> 00:02:33.905
  • It has all been prophesied in the bible, even the betrayal,
  • 00:02:33.905 --> 00:02:37.409
  • Even the 30 pieces of silver, right?
  • 00:02:37.409 --> 00:02:40.846
  • So jesus gave it to him, and jesus told him,
  • 00:02:40.846 --> 00:02:44.316
  • "whatever you do, do it quickly."
  • 00:02:44.316 --> 00:02:47.853
  • And the bible says he went out from the upper room.
  • 00:02:47.853 --> 00:02:51.023
  • And in so telling, it tells us, and it was night.
  • 00:02:51.023 --> 00:02:55.294
  • It was night.
  • 00:02:55.294 --> 00:02:56.628
  • So, spiritually speaking, it was night for judas.
  • 00:02:56.628 --> 00:03:00.132
  • He stepped into darkness, right?
  • 00:03:00.132 --> 00:03:03.902
  • And jesus knew where he was going,
  • 00:03:03.902 --> 00:03:05.237
  • But the apostles all did not, the disciples did not.
  • 00:03:05.237 --> 00:03:08.073
  • The disciples thought-- the bible says
  • 00:03:08.073 --> 00:03:10.008
  • Because judas was a treasurer,
  • 00:03:10.008 --> 00:03:12.978
  • Therefore, he took the money, and when jesus said,
  • 00:03:12.978 --> 00:03:16.148
  • "do--what you need to do, do it quickly."
  • 00:03:16.148 --> 00:03:18.884
  • Such cool--jesus is so cool, isn't it?
  • 00:03:18.884 --> 00:03:21.553
  • He's telling him, "you're gonna betray me?
  • 00:03:21.553 --> 00:03:23.121
  • Do it fast," amen. he knew.
  • 00:03:23.121 --> 00:03:27.693
  • I love the way the whole chapter begins.
  • 00:03:27.693 --> 00:03:29.294
  • It say that "jesus, knowing he came from the father
  • 00:03:29.294 --> 00:03:33.398
  • And going to the father, laid aside his garments
  • 00:03:33.398 --> 00:03:37.035
  • And washed the disciples' feet, including judas's feet
  • 00:03:37.035 --> 00:03:42.107
  • Because judas was still there.
  • 00:03:42.107 --> 00:03:44.443
  • And do y'all remember when he did that?
  • 00:03:44.443 --> 00:03:47.212
  • He came to peter, and peter says,
  • 00:03:47.212 --> 00:03:53.952
  • "lord, you must not wash my feet.
  • 00:03:53.952 --> 00:03:58.623
  • How can you wash my feet?"
  • 00:03:58.623 --> 00:04:00.125
  • And the lord said this to him: "if i don't wash your feet,"
  • 00:04:00.125 --> 00:04:03.228
  • Okay, all this is in the bible.
  • 00:04:03.228 --> 00:04:04.830
  • You're looking at me like-- i need to show you the bible,
  • 00:04:04.830 --> 00:04:07.265
  • So at least you have a feeling that it is in the bible, okay?
  • 00:04:07.265 --> 00:04:10.469
  • So i said just now, "before the feast of passover,
  • 00:04:10.469 --> 00:04:14.606
  • When jesus knew his hour had come
  • 00:04:14.606 --> 00:04:16.208
  • That he should depart from this world to the father"--
  • 00:04:16.208 --> 00:04:18.810
  • I love this--"having loved his own who were in the world,
  • 00:04:18.810 --> 00:04:20.979
  • He loved them to the end."
  • 00:04:20.979 --> 00:04:22.914
  • Okay, drop down.
  • 00:04:22.914 --> 00:04:24.249
  • Now, "and supper being ended, the devil having already put it
  • 00:04:24.249 --> 00:04:26.985
  • Into the heart of judas iscariot,
  • 00:04:26.985 --> 00:04:28.653
  • Simon's son betrayed him.
  • 00:04:28.653 --> 00:04:30.722
  • Jesus, knowing that the father had given all things
  • 00:04:30.722 --> 00:04:33.892
  • Into his hands, and that he had come from god
  • 00:04:33.892 --> 00:04:36.461
  • And was going to god,
  • 00:04:36.461 --> 00:04:38.330
  • Rose from supper and laid aside his garments,
  • 00:04:38.330 --> 00:04:40.766
  • And took a towel and girded himself."
  • 00:04:40.766 --> 00:04:42.401
  • So in those days, right, it is like the most menial task
  • 00:04:42.401 --> 00:04:48.173
  • Of the servant is to wash the visitors' feet.
  • 00:04:48.173 --> 00:04:51.810
  • So, obviously they had the upper room
  • 00:04:51.810 --> 00:04:53.578
  • To celebrate the passover in a few days.
  • 00:04:53.578 --> 00:04:55.247
  • And, in fact, right after this,
  • 00:04:55.247 --> 00:04:57.449
  • Jesus will be arrested and all that.
  • 00:04:57.449 --> 00:04:58.784
  • It will be the passover.
  • 00:04:58.784 --> 00:05:00.419
  • And the bible says just before the feast of passover,
  • 00:05:00.419 --> 00:05:02.621
  • Right?
  • 00:05:02.621 --> 00:05:03.955
  • Jesus rose from supper. he girded himself.
  • 00:05:03.955 --> 00:05:07.959
  • But before that, notice the way it says,
  • 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:09.928
  • "he knew the father had given all things into his hands,
  • 00:05:09.928 --> 00:05:14.599
  • And that he had come from god and was going to god."
  • 00:05:14.599 --> 00:05:19.604
  • You see that? i love it.
  • 00:05:19.604 --> 00:05:22.407
  • He rose from supper.
  • 00:05:22.407 --> 00:05:23.742
  • That means he knows the father-- he's secure in himself.
  • 00:05:23.742 --> 00:05:29.848
  • The father gave him all things.
  • 00:05:29.848 --> 00:05:31.183
  • He's the strongest person in that room, in the upper room.
  • 00:05:31.183 --> 00:05:34.786
  • I love it.
  • 00:05:34.786 --> 00:05:36.755
  • You know, it takes the strongest to stoop the lowest.
  • 00:05:36.755 --> 00:05:42.194
  • For us, we say that, you know, "i humble myself."
  • 00:05:42.194 --> 00:05:45.130
  • Bro, you're already flat on the ground.
  • 00:05:45.130 --> 00:05:47.966
  • You're already humbled.
  • 00:05:47.966 --> 00:05:49.301
  • It takes the most high to be able to humble himself
  • 00:05:49.301 --> 00:05:53.472
  • And make himself low.
  • 00:05:53.472 --> 00:05:55.373
  • For us, if we know the truth,
  • 00:05:55.373 --> 00:05:57.175
  • I don't care about our accomplishments
  • 00:05:57.175 --> 00:05:58.510
  • And all that.
  • 00:05:58.510 --> 00:05:59.845
  • In the sight of god, all men is flat.
  • 00:05:59.845 --> 00:06:03.381
  • They don't realize it. when adam sinned, all men fell.
  • 00:06:03.381 --> 00:06:06.785
  • We cannot go humbler than that. god wants us humble, yes.
  • 00:06:06.785 --> 00:06:11.189
  • Humble means we realize that everything that we have,
  • 00:06:11.189 --> 00:06:13.692
  • We owe it to god.
  • 00:06:13.692 --> 00:06:15.060
  • It comes from him.
  • 00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:16.428
  • So we are grateful and thankful for it.
  • 00:06:16.428 --> 00:06:18.964
  • Can i have a good amen, people? so i love it.
  • 00:06:18.964 --> 00:06:22.868
  • Knowing he had all things from the father,
  • 00:06:22.868 --> 00:06:24.903
  • Knowing he's the strongest there,
  • 00:06:24.903 --> 00:06:28.607
  • Knowing he's the richest there,
  • 00:06:28.607 --> 00:06:30.308
  • Knowing he has received all things from god his father,
  • 00:06:30.308 --> 00:06:33.712
  • He rose from supper,
  • 00:06:33.712 --> 00:06:35.046
  • Bowed down and washed the disciples' feet.
  • 00:06:35.046 --> 00:06:38.216
  • That's how the lord loves you.
  • 00:06:38.216 --> 00:06:39.651
  • With all the power he has, he uses it to serve you,
  • 00:06:39.651 --> 00:06:43.989
  • To cleanse you from your defilement and sin.
  • 00:06:43.989 --> 00:06:47.259
  • He uses his power.
  • 00:06:47.259 --> 00:06:48.593
  • I love this because--now, you must understand one thing.
  • 00:06:48.593 --> 00:06:52.531
  • You say that "oh, pastor, he's instituting the physical,
  • 00:06:52.531 --> 00:06:56.067
  • The ordinance of washing feet."
  • 00:06:56.067 --> 00:06:57.969
  • Now, i got nothing to say critically about that, okay?
  • 00:06:57.969 --> 00:07:01.439
  • Please don't read things into my sermon here.
  • 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.109
  • I'm talking about the spiritual truth
  • 00:07:04.109 --> 00:07:05.610
  • Of what jesus is doing because i tell you this:
  • 00:07:05.610 --> 00:07:08.113
  • I don't think jesus was teaching all this
  • 00:07:08.113 --> 00:07:10.482
  • To institute a physical washing of the disciples' feet.
  • 00:07:10.482 --> 00:07:14.219
  • I'll tell you why-- in this context.
  • 00:07:14.219 --> 00:07:18.023
  • Did they practice that in the early church?
  • 00:07:18.023 --> 00:07:19.991
  • Yes.
  • 00:07:19.991 --> 00:07:21.359
  • But i think they practiced that knowing it was figurative, okay?
  • 00:07:21.359 --> 00:07:26.298
  • I'll tell you why it's figurative.
  • 00:07:26.298 --> 00:07:28.433
  • Do the disciples know when jesus took the basin of water
  • 00:07:28.433 --> 00:07:31.102
  • And washed their feet?
  • 00:07:31.102 --> 00:07:32.437
  • If jesus washed your feet, if i wash your feet, can you tell?
  • 00:07:32.437 --> 00:07:35.807
  • Can you tell i touch your feet? yeah, of course.
  • 00:07:35.807 --> 00:07:38.743
  • Can you tell i'm washing your feet?
  • 00:07:38.743 --> 00:07:40.445
  • You can tell, right?
  • 00:07:40.445 --> 00:07:41.780
  • But what jesus told peter, drop down to where he says,
  • 00:07:41.780 --> 00:07:45.317
  • "lord, are you washing my feet?"
  • 00:07:45.317 --> 00:07:47.552
  • What did jesus say?
  • 00:07:47.552 --> 00:07:49.120
  • Jesus answered peter and said what?
  • 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.622
  • "what i'm doing, you do not understand now."
  • 00:07:50.622 --> 00:07:55.160
  • Don't you think he would understand
  • 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:56.494
  • That jesus washing his feet?
  • 00:07:56.494 --> 00:07:58.363
  • So, obviously, it's not referring
  • 00:07:58.363 --> 00:07:59.798
  • To the physical.
  • 00:07:59.798 --> 00:08:01.433
  • He's doing something that has a spiritual meaning,
  • 00:08:01.433 --> 00:08:07.706
  • A powerful, a deep, poignant truth there--
  • 00:08:07.706 --> 00:08:13.545
  • That he's telling them, "what i'm doing now--"
  • 00:08:13.545 --> 00:08:16.982
  • And he's doing it physically,
  • 00:08:16.982 --> 00:08:18.383
  • "but what i'm doing now, you don't know.
  • 00:08:18.383 --> 00:08:21.086
  • But you will know hereafter."
  • 00:08:21.086 --> 00:08:26.124
  • So in other words, the whole thing is symbolic.
  • 00:08:26.124 --> 00:08:28.093
  • The fact that the father gave him all things,
  • 00:08:28.093 --> 00:08:30.261
  • He rose from supper,
  • 00:08:30.261 --> 00:08:31.863
  • And supper is a picture of the cross.
  • 00:08:31.863 --> 00:08:33.465
  • He died on that cross, where the father says
  • 00:08:33.465 --> 00:08:36.334
  • God is glorified in him and he in god.
  • 00:08:36.334 --> 00:08:38.403
  • Because the glory of god is shown the fullest where?
  • 00:08:38.403 --> 00:08:41.973
  • At the cross. why?
  • 00:08:41.973 --> 00:08:43.575
  • At the cross, everything is manifested
  • 00:08:43.575 --> 00:08:46.511
  • To the fullest, to the extreme, and to the greatest.
  • 00:08:46.511 --> 00:08:51.216
  • The sin of man, never was there greater sin
  • 00:08:51.216 --> 00:08:55.020
  • Than to take perfect goodness who came to earth
  • 00:08:55.020 --> 00:08:58.023
  • Healing the sick, cleansing the lepers,
  • 00:08:58.023 --> 00:09:01.626
  • Unstopping deaf ears, opening the eyes of the blind--
  • 00:09:01.626 --> 00:09:04.996
  • All right?-- and rejecting all the good.
  • 00:09:04.996 --> 00:09:07.265
  • Not only that, putting him on that shameful death--amen?--
  • 00:09:07.265 --> 00:09:11.169
  • That cruel death, that torturous death
  • 00:09:11.169 --> 00:09:13.371
  • On the cross.
  • 00:09:13.371 --> 00:09:15.373
  • So the sin of man is manifested in its fullness
  • 00:09:15.373 --> 00:09:18.576
  • Against perfect goodness.
  • 00:09:18.576 --> 00:09:21.613
  • So jesus washed the disciples' feet
  • 00:09:21.613 --> 00:09:24.849
  • But he says, "what i'm doing, you do not know now."
  • 00:09:24.849 --> 00:09:27.218
  • So it's a spiritual washing, isn't it?
  • 00:09:27.218 --> 00:09:30.288
  • It's a spiritual washing, isn't it?
  • 00:09:30.288 --> 00:09:31.623
  • Because later on, in the same upper room--
  • 00:09:31.623 --> 00:09:34.626
  • Right?-- in the same upper room,
  • 00:09:34.626 --> 00:09:35.960
  • He says, "i am the vine, you are the branches,"
  • 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.796
  • In john 15, and this is what he said:
  • 00:09:37.796 --> 00:09:39.664
  • "you are already clean because of the word
  • 00:09:39.664 --> 00:09:43.068
  • Which i have spoken to you."
  • 00:09:43.068 --> 00:09:45.770
  • You are not your own. you are bought with a price.
  • 00:09:45.770 --> 00:09:49.874
  • And what a price.
  • 00:09:49.874 --> 00:09:51.710
  • It's not the blood of angel gabriel
  • 00:09:51.710 --> 00:09:55.046
  • Or archangel michael or one of them.
  • 00:09:55.046 --> 00:09:58.383
  • No, it's the blood of god's own son.
  • 00:09:58.383 --> 00:10:02.487
  • So we come to this,
  • 00:10:02.487 --> 00:10:03.888
  • And you see that jesus is washing their feet,
  • 00:10:03.888 --> 00:10:05.990
  • And it's a spiritual act.
  • 00:10:05.990 --> 00:10:07.392
  • So what was this act?
  • 00:10:07.392 --> 00:10:08.727
  • And then he came to peter, and peter says,
  • 00:10:08.727 --> 00:10:10.829
  • "you must not wash me," right?
  • 00:10:10.829 --> 00:10:12.831
  • And jesus said, "what i'm doing now, you do not know."
  • 00:10:12.831 --> 00:10:14.632
  • So, obviously he's not referring to the physical one,
  • 00:10:14.632 --> 00:10:15.967
  • But spiritual.
  • 00:10:15.967 --> 00:10:17.302
  • Let's go on.
  • 00:10:17.302 --> 00:10:18.636
  • "and then peter said to him, 'you shall never wash my feet!'
  • 00:10:18.636 --> 00:10:20.638
  • 'if i do not wash you, you have no part with me.'"
  • 00:10:20.638 --> 00:10:24.509
  • Now, some people say, "well, that shows salvation.
  • 00:10:24.509 --> 00:10:27.612
  • He says, 'you have no part with me.'"
  • 00:10:27.612 --> 00:10:28.947
  • No, salvation is, he will have said,
  • 00:10:28.947 --> 00:10:30.582
  • "you have no part in me."
  • 00:10:30.582 --> 00:10:32.884
  • It is not the greek word, "en," e-n; in.
  • 00:10:32.884 --> 00:10:36.154
  • "en" is the greek for "in" in english.
  • 00:10:36.154 --> 00:10:39.924
  • It is the word "meta"-- in greek--for "with me."
  • 00:10:39.924 --> 00:10:44.062
  • "in other words, you cannot walk with me.
  • 00:10:44.062 --> 00:10:45.530
  • You're saved. you're born again.
  • 00:10:45.530 --> 00:10:46.898
  • But you're gonna walk successfully with me,
  • 00:10:46.898 --> 00:10:49.400
  • Like we are communing together?
  • 00:10:49.400 --> 00:10:51.803
  • You need the washing of your feet."
  • 00:10:51.803 --> 00:10:53.972
  • Notice it's not the washing of the blood anymore.
  • 00:10:53.972 --> 00:10:56.174
  • It's the washing of the feet.
  • 00:10:56.174 --> 00:10:57.509
  • Because when jesus rose from supper,
  • 00:10:57.509 --> 00:10:58.843
  • It's a picture of resurrection.
  • 00:10:58.843 --> 00:11:00.178
  • He is giving us an intimation of what he's doing in heaven
  • 00:11:00.178 --> 00:11:06.417
  • For us today.
  • 00:11:06.417 --> 00:11:08.486
  • He's waiting for you to come and place your soiled feet,
  • 00:11:08.486 --> 00:11:12.223
  • Dirty feet, your dirty walk-- amen?--into his hands.
  • 00:11:12.223 --> 00:11:16.761
  • And you say, "how can i do that?
  • 00:11:16.761 --> 00:11:18.363
  • How can the lord of glory take my filthy feet?"
  • 00:11:18.363 --> 00:11:22.634
  • And that's exactly what he wants to do.
  • 00:11:22.634 --> 00:11:24.035
  • He wants to love you that way, amen?
  • 00:11:24.035 --> 00:11:26.337
  • One of the most beautiful laws in the old testament is this--
  • 00:11:26.337 --> 00:11:31.042
  • That comes right after the ten commandments was given
  • 00:11:31.042 --> 00:11:33.478
  • In exodus 19 and 20.
  • 00:11:33.478 --> 00:11:35.814
  • Exodus 20 is when the ten commandments
  • 00:11:35.814 --> 00:11:37.582
  • Comes in.
  • 00:11:37.582 --> 00:11:38.917
  • You see ten commandments for the very first time
  • 00:11:38.917 --> 00:11:40.652
  • On mount sinai, being given to moses,
  • 00:11:40.652 --> 00:11:42.187
  • To the people,
  • 00:11:42.187 --> 00:11:43.521
  • And that's when you see the ten commandments
  • 00:11:43.521 --> 00:11:45.023
  • For the very first time.
  • 00:11:45.023 --> 00:11:46.357
  • You know what's the next chapter?
  • 00:11:46.357 --> 00:11:49.127
  • Twenty-one. this one is 20, right?
  • 00:11:49.127 --> 00:11:52.330
  • The next one is 21, okay? so you know what's in 21?
  • 00:11:52.330 --> 00:11:56.534
  • Very beautiful law.
  • 00:11:56.534 --> 00:11:57.869
  • The very first verse says, "now these are the judgments
  • 00:11:57.869 --> 00:12:00.939
  • You will teach israel."
  • 00:12:00.939 --> 00:12:02.273
  • When you have a servant, a slave, a servant--all right?--
  • 00:12:02.273 --> 00:12:05.643
  • That you have purchased.
  • 00:12:05.643 --> 00:12:07.412
  • In those days, they live in that culture.
  • 00:12:07.412 --> 00:12:08.947
  • So god is using something that they can learn
  • 00:12:08.947 --> 00:12:11.149
  • About his love.
  • 00:12:11.149 --> 00:12:12.483
  • And he says that "and the servant,"
  • 00:12:12.483 --> 00:12:14.419
  • Okay, "can only serve for seven years,
  • 00:12:14.419 --> 00:12:18.423
  • And then he is free to go.
  • 00:12:18.423 --> 00:12:20.525
  • But the servant had been so blessed
  • 00:12:20.525 --> 00:12:22.193
  • By this master-- he's a good master--
  • 00:12:22.193 --> 00:12:23.895
  • That the servant does not want to go free.
  • 00:12:23.895 --> 00:12:26.397
  • And the master has given him his wife, his children,"
  • 00:12:26.397 --> 00:12:29.167
  • All right?
  • 00:12:29.167 --> 00:12:30.501
  • The only thing, if he goes free, he has to leave them behind.
  • 00:12:30.501 --> 00:12:33.071
  • Whatever the master gives, he must leave behind.
  • 00:12:33.071 --> 00:12:34.839
  • He must start afresh as a free man without all the--
  • 00:12:34.839 --> 00:12:37.675
  • Any bestowals from the master.
  • 00:12:37.675 --> 00:12:39.777
  • But he says, "if i love--" then he says, "i love my master.
  • 00:12:39.777 --> 00:12:43.615
  • I love my wife. i love my children.
  • 00:12:43.615 --> 00:12:45.683
  • I will not want to go out free."
  • 00:12:45.683 --> 00:12:47.552
  • The master will take him and nail his ear
  • 00:12:47.552 --> 00:12:50.622
  • To the doorpost, which means from then on,
  • 00:12:50.622 --> 00:12:52.423
  • He is going to wear something here in the ear, amen?
  • 00:12:52.423 --> 00:12:54.392
  • Nothing wrong.
  • 00:12:54.392 --> 00:12:55.727
  • I mean, you're wearing earring and all that, guys, you know?
  • 00:12:55.727 --> 00:12:57.829
  • It doesn't mean you're a slave, all right.
  • 00:12:57.829 --> 00:12:59.464
  • But in those days, from then on, the guy walks around
  • 00:12:59.464 --> 00:13:02.767
  • And he's wearing something in the ear,
  • 00:13:02.767 --> 00:13:04.602
  • That means, all right, he's marked.
  • 00:13:04.602 --> 00:13:06.771
  • This person choose to remain because he said,
  • 00:13:06.771 --> 00:13:09.207
  • "i love my master.
  • 00:13:09.207 --> 00:13:10.541
  • I love--" now, is it that god is talking
  • 00:13:10.541 --> 00:13:12.577
  • About slaves there?
  • 00:13:12.577 --> 00:13:13.912
  • No.
  • 00:13:13.912 --> 00:13:15.246
  • Talking about master and slave? no.
  • 00:13:15.246 --> 00:13:16.581
  • He's talking about his son and him.
  • 00:13:16.581 --> 00:13:19.117
  • Jesus came down as a man,
  • 00:13:19.117 --> 00:13:21.619
  • And jesus saw the church that he would die for,
  • 00:13:21.619 --> 00:13:25.256
  • The ones who would be saved, and you know what jesus said?
  • 00:13:25.256 --> 00:13:28.092
  • "i love my master, i love you, father, and i love my disciples,
  • 00:13:28.092 --> 00:13:32.530
  • And i love my people.
  • 00:13:32.530 --> 00:13:37.502
  • And i will not go out free."
  • 00:13:37.502 --> 00:13:39.704
  • In other words, in the garden of gethsemane,
  • 00:13:39.704 --> 00:13:41.172
  • There was a choice made.
  • 00:13:41.172 --> 00:13:42.840
  • Want to come back?
  • 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:44.542
  • "not my will, your will be done," and he remained.
  • 00:13:44.542 --> 00:13:48.680
  • He knew that a few hours' time, he would be hanging
  • 00:13:48.680 --> 00:13:50.148
  • On the cross.
  • 00:13:50.148 --> 00:13:51.482
  • He chose.
  • 00:13:51.482 --> 00:13:52.817
  • He chose because he chose--
  • 00:13:52.817 --> 00:13:54.152
  • And that's--hanging on the cross is pierced.
  • 00:13:54.152 --> 00:13:55.887
  • Same thing, the ear was pierced for the servant.
  • 00:13:55.887 --> 00:14:01.459
  • And then he says these words in exodus 21:
  • 00:14:01.459 --> 00:14:04.929
  • "he remains a servant forever," amen?
  • 00:14:04.929 --> 00:14:10.368
  • In our case, jesus remains a servant forever.
  • 00:14:10.368 --> 00:14:15.106
  • To serve who? to serve the angels?
  • 00:14:15.106 --> 00:14:17.141
  • No, to serve--angels don't need that service.
  • 00:14:17.141 --> 00:14:21.746
  • They are there to serve you.
  • 00:14:21.746 --> 00:14:23.081
  • Are they not all ministering spirits
  • 00:14:23.081 --> 00:14:24.849
  • Sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
  • 00:14:24.849 --> 00:14:29.620
  • So he wants to serve you.
  • 00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:31.122
  • But every day, you're serving yourself, you're serving people,
  • 00:14:31.122 --> 00:14:33.491
  • You're serving everything, you're serving your boss,
  • 00:14:33.491 --> 00:14:35.293
  • You're serving the needs of your company,
  • 00:14:35.293 --> 00:14:38.830
  • You're serving this thing.
  • 00:14:38.830 --> 00:14:40.264
  • You're still serving--
  • 00:14:40.264 --> 00:14:42.467
  • Except to receive the greatest service of all:
  • 00:14:42.467 --> 00:14:46.604
  • The service of love, the ministry of love--
  • 00:14:46.604 --> 00:14:48.673
  • To come to the lord and say, "lord, i'm tired, lord,
  • 00:14:48.673 --> 00:14:51.109
  • But i come before you right now."
  • 00:14:51.109 --> 00:14:52.443
  • And sometimes you don't even have to open a bible.
  • 00:14:52.443 --> 00:14:53.911
  • Okay? sometimes.
  • 00:14:53.911 --> 00:14:55.246
  • Because i know this is the one thing needful.
  • 00:14:55.246 --> 00:14:56.581
  • Everything i did today is not so needful.
  • 00:14:56.581 --> 00:14:59.417
  • This is one thing needful.
  • 00:14:59.417 --> 00:15:02.687
  • "if i do this, lord, i just want to receive your love.
  • 00:15:02.687 --> 00:15:04.889
  • I want to receive your strength.
  • 00:15:04.889 --> 00:15:06.491
  • I've been very tired lately, lord.
  • 00:15:06.491 --> 00:15:08.259
  • I receive your--i need a fresh infusion of your health,
  • 00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:11.295
  • Your youthfulness, lord, your power, lord,
  • 00:15:11.295 --> 00:15:14.999
  • Your energy, your divine energy, lord.
  • 00:15:14.999 --> 00:15:16.501
  • I need a fresh renewal."
  • 00:15:16.501 --> 00:15:19.570
  • Maybe it leads you to take the bible.
  • 00:15:19.570 --> 00:15:21.172
  • Many a times it's with the word of god,
  • 00:15:21.172 --> 00:15:22.707
  • And you say, "lord jesus, my feet are so dirty.
  • 00:15:22.707 --> 00:15:24.542
  • I feel so defiled.
  • 00:15:24.542 --> 00:15:25.877
  • I'm hearing conversation that's not good.
  • 00:15:25.877 --> 00:15:27.645
  • My mind has been focused on very fleshly things.
  • 00:15:27.645 --> 00:15:30.281
  • I've been--my mind has been dirty, dusty."
  • 00:15:30.281 --> 00:15:33.084
  • Remember this: man's body was made
  • 00:15:33.084 --> 00:15:36.687
  • From the dust of the ground.
  • 00:15:36.687 --> 00:15:38.022
  • His spirit is amazing: from the breath of god.
  • 00:15:38.022 --> 00:15:41.592
  • But his feet is dirty, right? always.
  • 00:15:41.592 --> 00:15:46.130
  • Why? it's a symbol of what?
  • 00:15:46.130 --> 00:15:48.066
  • Your walk on this earth: you're always defiled.
  • 00:15:48.066 --> 00:15:51.602
  • Which part of you gets the dirtiest?
  • 00:15:51.602 --> 00:15:53.838
  • Your feet.
  • 00:15:53.838 --> 00:15:55.606
  • That's where your body comes from--
  • 00:15:55.606 --> 00:15:56.941
  • The dust of the earth.
  • 00:15:56.941 --> 00:15:58.276
  • When jesus wiped the feet of the disciples,
  • 00:15:58.276 --> 00:16:00.278
  • He says, "he poured water into a basin,
  • 00:16:00.278 --> 00:16:01.846
  • Began to wash the disciples' feet,
  • 00:16:01.846 --> 00:16:03.314
  • And wipe them with a towel with which he was girded."
  • 00:16:03.314 --> 00:16:06.784
  • And it's very interesting that the towel that he used
  • 00:16:06.784 --> 00:16:08.920
  • In the greek is lention, the word "lention" in greek.
  • 00:16:08.920 --> 00:16:12.023
  • And lention is always referring to a linen cloth.
  • 00:16:12.023 --> 00:16:15.560
  • Now, why do i say that?
  • 00:16:15.560 --> 00:16:16.994
  • Because linen in the bible, in the book of revelation,
  • 00:16:16.994 --> 00:16:20.198
  • Says is the righteousness of the saints, the believers.
  • 00:16:20.198 --> 00:16:25.703
  • So in other words, whatever--
  • 00:16:25.703 --> 00:16:27.839
  • We know that the water is the word of god.
  • 00:16:27.839 --> 00:16:29.173
  • Am i right?
  • 00:16:29.173 --> 00:16:30.508
  • So when he washes your feet with the water,
  • 00:16:30.508 --> 00:16:33.077
  • So everything come before jesus, right?
  • 00:16:33.077 --> 00:16:34.512
  • He gives you a word, amen? he speaks to you.
  • 00:16:34.512 --> 00:16:38.950
  • All through the word of scripture you are reading,
  • 00:16:38.950 --> 00:16:41.819
  • Don't forget: you come not to give out.
  • 00:16:41.819 --> 00:16:43.988
  • You don't come for your quiet time to do "quiet time,"
  • 00:16:43.988 --> 00:16:47.125
  • To finish the chapter that you are reading in your bible
  • 00:16:47.125 --> 00:16:49.760
  • Through the year,
  • 00:16:49.760 --> 00:16:51.095
  • To do your "duty," to make sure you "catch up."
  • 00:16:51.095 --> 00:16:53.998
  • You'll get nothing.
  • 00:16:53.998 --> 00:16:55.366
  • But you come to him knowing that he's gonna pour out to you.
  • 00:16:55.366 --> 00:16:57.835
  • And there's not much competition, i tell you.
  • 00:16:57.835 --> 00:17:02.740
  • I go to jesus--and what he's supposed to give you--right?--
  • 00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:05.610
  • I get it, no?
  • 00:17:05.610 --> 00:17:06.944
  • Does that make you angry or not?
  • 00:17:06.944 --> 00:17:08.379
  • What you're supposed to get-- right, all right?--
  • 00:17:08.379 --> 00:17:11.082
  • You would have gotten it if you would've spend time
  • 00:17:11.082 --> 00:17:12.416
  • With him.
  • 00:17:12.416 --> 00:17:13.751
  • He gave it to me.
  • 00:17:13.751 --> 00:17:15.086
  • Because he says that "there's no one waiting before me,
  • 00:17:15.086 --> 00:17:17.421
  • And i'm so full.
  • 00:17:17.421 --> 00:17:18.823
  • I'm love personified. i want to give.
  • 00:17:18.823 --> 00:17:21.893
  • I want to pour.
  • 00:17:21.893 --> 00:17:23.227
  • I have so many good things, perfect things,
  • 00:17:23.227 --> 00:17:24.695
  • That will truly satisfy.
  • 00:17:24.695 --> 00:17:26.197
  • But they don't want. they have no time to receive.
  • 00:17:26.197 --> 00:17:28.733
  • They're so busy providing for themselves.
  • 00:17:28.733 --> 00:17:31.569
  • Will you take it?"
  • 00:17:31.569 --> 00:17:32.904
  • And i say, "lord, bring it on," amen?
  • 00:17:32.904 --> 00:17:38.276
  • So i purposely say that to provoke you.
  • 00:17:38.276 --> 00:17:41.112
  • He has plenty left over, of course.
  • 00:17:41.112 --> 00:17:44.315
  • But don't think that god can give to you on the go.
  • 00:17:44.315 --> 00:17:46.517
  • It's very hard to give on the go.
  • 00:17:46.517 --> 00:17:48.619
  • And i'm telling you-- all right?--
  • 00:17:48.619 --> 00:17:50.588
  • One of the biggest problems is amusing ourselves
  • 00:17:50.588 --> 00:17:53.491
  • With social media and our phones and whatnot.
  • 00:17:53.491 --> 00:17:56.727
  • You know, the word "amuse," the word "a"--
  • 00:17:56.727 --> 00:17:59.564
  • "a" put in front, it always negates whatever follows.
  • 00:17:59.564 --> 00:18:02.833
  • So separate the "a" from the "muse."
  • 00:18:02.833 --> 00:18:04.168
  • You know what's "muse"?
  • 00:18:04.168 --> 00:18:05.503
  • Meditate. you think long enough.
  • 00:18:05.503 --> 00:18:07.772
  • Today's world, they-- especially our young people
  • 00:18:07.772 --> 00:18:10.541
  • That are in this generation, born into this age and all that,
  • 00:18:10.541 --> 00:18:13.010
  • You know, we are finding more and more things to amuse,
  • 00:18:13.010 --> 00:18:15.079
  • To occupy your mind.
  • 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:16.414
  • We have no time to be musing.
  • 00:18:16.414 --> 00:18:19.050
  • The bible says, the psalmist says,
  • 00:18:19.050 --> 00:18:20.418
  • "while i was musing, the fire burned.
  • 00:18:20.418 --> 00:18:21.752
  • Then spake i with my tongue."
  • 00:18:21.752 --> 00:18:24.655
  • That's the key to a powerful ministry.
  • 00:18:24.655 --> 00:18:26.691
  • Meditate--"while i was musing, the fire burned
  • 00:18:26.691 --> 00:18:31.696
  • In the emmaus road.
  • 00:18:31.696 --> 00:18:33.030
  • Then i spoke with my tongue."
  • 00:18:33.030 --> 00:18:36.801
  • This is the key to a successful ministry
  • 00:18:36.801 --> 00:18:41.839
  • Of preaching the word, amen.
  • 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.976
  • "while i was musing, the fire burned."
  • 00:18:44.976 --> 00:18:46.544
  • If you've got no fire burn, you just impart knowledge,
  • 00:18:46.544 --> 00:18:49.580
  • It's not going to be the same.
  • 00:18:49.580 --> 00:18:51.916
  • Are you listening, people?
  • 00:18:51.916 --> 00:18:53.718
  • So take away the "a," you have the word "muse," meditate.
  • 00:18:53.718 --> 00:18:58.055
  • Put the "a" there, it means what?
  • 00:18:58.055 --> 00:18:59.624
  • No meditate.
  • 00:18:59.624 --> 00:19:00.958
  • That's the word "amuse," amusement.
  • 00:19:00.958 --> 00:19:02.426
  • Come from there, amuse.
  • 00:19:02.426 --> 00:19:03.961
  • No thinking. just do.
  • 00:19:03.961 --> 00:19:05.896
  • "to wipe them with a towel," the word "lention," okay?
  • 00:19:05.896 --> 00:19:11.469
  • And i look at the word "wipe." i'm bringing this to a close.
  • 00:19:11.469 --> 00:19:14.038
  • Wipe. you think about the word "wipe."
  • 00:19:14.038 --> 00:19:18.142
  • The lord had me check this word,
  • 00:19:18.142 --> 00:19:19.477
  • And i was blessed because the word "wipe"
  • 00:19:19.477 --> 00:19:22.179
  • Is "ekmasso," ekmasso.
  • 00:19:22.179 --> 00:19:25.049
  • Now, what's ekmasso? ek-masso.
  • 00:19:25.049 --> 00:19:27.818
  • You see, it's made out of two words--
  • 00:19:27.818 --> 00:19:29.153
  • "ek" and "masso"-- in the greek, ek-masso.
  • 00:19:29.153 --> 00:19:32.490
  • Ek means out of, away from. what's masso?
  • 00:19:32.490 --> 00:19:38.296
  • Masso is the word "devour." it's the word "eat," or devour.
  • 00:19:38.296 --> 00:19:43.934
  • Ek means what? ek means what?
  • 00:19:43.934 --> 00:19:46.470
  • Away from, delivered from, out of being devoured.
  • 00:19:46.470 --> 00:19:50.441
  • So he washes your feet. then he wipes it.
  • 00:19:50.441 --> 00:19:54.712
  • Now, he wash your feet, it's no more dusty.
  • 00:19:54.712 --> 00:19:56.681
  • No more food for the devil, amen!
  • 00:19:56.681 --> 00:20:02.019
  • And he uses the righteousness of the saints, right?
  • 00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:07.224
  • He dry your feet with what? a righteousness consciousness.
  • 00:20:07.224 --> 00:20:10.895
  • At the end of the washing
  • 00:20:10.895 --> 00:20:12.229
  • Is always a righteousness consciousness.
  • 00:20:12.229 --> 00:20:16.500
  • You have a fresh sense that you are clean.
  • 00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:19.070
  • You have a fresh sense that, when he looks at you,
  • 00:20:19.070 --> 00:20:21.472
  • He is not finding fault with you.
  • 00:20:21.472 --> 00:20:25.976
  • Are you listening, people?
  • 00:20:25.976 --> 00:20:29.680
  • So one of the things you can do--all right?--
  • 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.049
  • Then jesus went down.
  • 00:20:32.049 --> 00:20:33.384
  • Okay, i'm going to show you what you can do.
  • 00:20:33.384 --> 00:20:34.719
  • Drop down.
  • 00:20:34.719 --> 00:20:36.053
  • He says, "you shall--" then peter said,
  • 00:20:36.053 --> 00:20:38.089
  • After he says, "what i'm doing you don't know now."
  • 00:20:38.089 --> 00:20:40.257
  • "peter says, 'you shall never wash my feet!'
  • 00:20:40.257 --> 00:20:41.926
  • 'if i don't wash you, you have no part with me,'" okay?
  • 00:20:41.926 --> 00:20:44.829
  • Not "no part in me." that's salvation.
  • 00:20:44.829 --> 00:20:47.164
  • But peter is saved, all right? they are all saved.
  • 00:20:47.164 --> 00:20:50.768
  • "no part with me."
  • 00:20:50.768 --> 00:20:52.103
  • In other words, "you cannot walk with me."
  • 00:20:52.103 --> 00:20:55.005
  • You're still a believer, but there's no co-laboring,
  • 00:20:55.005 --> 00:20:58.909
  • No walking together, no communion.
  • 00:20:58.909 --> 00:21:01.779
  • To have--if i take communion, "learn to receive my love
  • 00:21:01.779 --> 00:21:04.281
  • Every day.
  • 00:21:04.281 --> 00:21:05.616
  • Receive my word," amen. are you listening, people?
  • 00:21:05.616 --> 00:21:09.987
  • Let me wind this down.
  • 00:21:09.987 --> 00:21:11.422
  • As we talk to each other, let's wash one another's feet.
  • 00:21:11.422 --> 00:21:15.659
  • And let the person go away feeling like,
  • 00:21:15.659 --> 00:21:17.528
  • "ah, i feel refreshed being in that girl's--
  • 00:21:17.528 --> 00:21:19.930
  • That lady's presence," you know?
  • 00:21:19.930 --> 00:21:21.332
  • "i feel refreshed being in that sister's presence.
  • 00:21:21.332 --> 00:21:23.200
  • I feel refreshed in that brother's presence.
  • 00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:25.069
  • I feel refreshed in that man's presence.
  • 00:21:25.069 --> 00:21:27.138
  • I feel refreshed after i leave him."
  • 00:21:27.138 --> 00:21:29.073
  • Why? you know, it's not just pastors.
  • 00:21:29.073 --> 00:21:32.710
  • He says that "if i then, your lord and teacher,
  • 00:21:32.710 --> 00:21:34.678
  • Have washed your feet, wash one another's feet--"
  • 00:21:34.678 --> 00:21:36.213
  • It's like his love, you know?
  • 00:21:36.213 --> 00:21:37.882
  • "wash one--you see what i did? do the same."
  • 00:21:37.882 --> 00:21:41.285
  • And you know the bible says,
  • 00:21:41.285 --> 00:21:42.620
  • "husband, love your wife even as christ loved the church
  • 00:21:42.620 --> 00:21:45.122
  • And gave himself for it,
  • 00:21:45.122 --> 00:21:47.158
  • That he might sanctify and cleanse it
  • 00:21:47.158 --> 00:21:49.560
  • With the washing of water by the word,
  • 00:21:49.560 --> 00:21:51.061
  • That he might sanctify and cleanse her
  • 00:21:51.061 --> 00:21:52.463
  • With the washing of water by the word."
  • 00:21:52.463 --> 00:21:53.798
  • He's talking about husband and wife,
  • 00:21:53.798 --> 00:21:55.132
  • But then he illustrate that this--
  • 00:21:55.132 --> 00:21:56.467
  • What jesus did with all of us.
  • 00:21:56.467 --> 00:21:57.935
  • First of all, "husband, love your wife
  • 00:21:57.935 --> 00:22:00.271
  • As christ loved the church and gave himself for her,
  • 00:22:00.271 --> 00:22:02.406
  • That he might sanctify and cleanse her
  • 00:22:02.406 --> 00:22:04.108
  • With the washing of water by the word,
  • 00:22:04.108 --> 00:22:06.143
  • That he might present a bride to himself,
  • 00:22:06.143 --> 00:22:09.180
  • And that he might sanctify--"
  • 00:22:09.180 --> 00:22:10.514
  • Sanctify means cleanse her with the washing of--
  • 00:22:10.514 --> 00:22:12.750
  • And make her holy, set her apart,
  • 00:22:12.750 --> 00:22:14.785
  • Cleanse her with the washing of water
  • 00:22:14.785 --> 00:22:16.487
  • By the word, that he might present her to himself
  • 00:22:16.487 --> 00:22:19.290
  • A glorious church, not having spot"--
  • 00:22:19.290 --> 00:22:23.694
  • Amen?--"or wrinkle."
  • 00:22:23.694 --> 00:22:25.596
  • "wrinkle" is the idea of age-- "or any such thing,
  • 00:22:25.596 --> 00:22:29.667
  • But that she should be holy and without blemish."
  • 00:22:29.667 --> 00:22:31.502
  • So jesus does it, gave himself for us on the cross.
  • 00:22:31.502 --> 00:22:34.538
  • Now the church is in place.
  • 00:22:34.538 --> 00:22:35.873
  • That's you and i-- a born again creature.
  • 00:22:35.873 --> 00:22:38.576
  • What do we need?
  • 00:22:38.576 --> 00:22:39.910
  • He need to sanctify us from the world--
  • 00:22:39.910 --> 00:22:41.245
  • The defilements, the contamination.
  • 00:22:41.245 --> 00:22:42.780
  • And i believe-- you study carefully
  • 00:22:42.780 --> 00:22:44.949
  • The levitical ceremonial laws, you find that, in the bible,
  • 00:22:44.949 --> 00:22:49.086
  • People that have uncleanness in the book of leviticus,
  • 00:22:49.086 --> 00:22:52.156
  • It's washed away with water.
  • 00:22:52.156 --> 00:22:53.824
  • The whole idea is there.
  • 00:22:53.824 --> 00:22:55.159
  • So i think there's a physical benefit.
  • 00:22:55.159 --> 00:22:56.594
  • Just like physical water washes your physical body
  • 00:22:56.594 --> 00:23:01.098
  • From uncleanness and refreshes you,
  • 00:23:01.098 --> 00:23:04.034
  • I believe the spiritual water has an effect on your body
  • 00:23:04.034 --> 00:23:07.505

  • 00:23:07.505 --> 00:23:09.039

  • 00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:10.374
  • "having our bodies washed with pure water,"
  • 00:23:10.374 --> 00:23:11.942
  • In hebrews, chapter 10.
  • 00:23:11.942 --> 00:23:13.477

  • Headlines change by the hour. values shift.
  • 00:24:25.115 --> 00:24:29.053
  • Truth feels negotiable.
  • 00:24:29.053 --> 00:24:31.422
  • What was certain yesterday is no longer clear today.
  • 00:24:31.422 --> 00:24:35.960
  • But through all the noise and the shaking,
  • 00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:38.696
  • There is one who is still the same.
  • 00:24:38.696 --> 00:24:42.433
  • In the chaos, he is still the calm.
  • 00:24:42.433 --> 00:24:45.869
  • In the panic, he is still the promise.
  • 00:24:45.869 --> 00:24:48.973
  • Because when all else falters, fades, and falls,
  • 00:24:48.973 --> 00:24:53.243
  • He is still jesus above it all.
  • 00:24:53.243 --> 00:24:56.013
  • So no matter what's popular today
  • 00:24:56.013 --> 00:24:58.415
  • Or forgotten tomorrow,
  • 00:24:58.415 --> 00:25:00.050
  • This ministry will still always be
  • 00:25:00.050 --> 00:25:03.253
  • All about jesus-- still the center of our call,
  • 00:25:03.253 --> 00:25:07.024

  • Female: in 2016 my daughter was pregnant,
  • 00:25:19.937 --> 00:25:23.173
  • And she delivered early, 23 weeks, and she had to stay
  • 00:25:23.173 --> 00:25:27.945
  • In the nicu for four months.
  • 00:25:27.945 --> 00:25:30.114
  • A time came where we received a call from the hospital.
  • 00:25:30.114 --> 00:25:33.584
  • She had three different bacterial infections
  • 00:25:33.584 --> 00:25:38.122
  • And double pneumonia.
  • 00:25:38.122 --> 00:25:39.690
  • Her numbers were between, like, in the high 30s and 40s.
  • 00:25:39.690 --> 00:25:44.662
  • They're supposed to be, like, 85.
  • 00:25:44.662 --> 00:25:46.597
  • There wasn't much hope.
  • 00:25:46.597 --> 00:25:48.565
  • So it had been, like, at least ten years
  • 00:25:48.565 --> 00:25:51.869
  • Since my life being transformed through the teaching
  • 00:25:51.869 --> 00:25:54.571
  • And through pastor prince's ministry.
  • 00:25:54.571 --> 00:25:56.607
  • I know god wants me healed.
  • 00:25:56.607 --> 00:25:59.643
  • I know he wants my family healed.
  • 00:25:59.643 --> 00:26:01.545
  • My husband and i were praying, we received holy communion,
  • 00:26:01.545 --> 00:26:03.981
  • Because we receive holy communion often.
  • 00:26:03.981 --> 00:26:06.083
  • By the time we got to the hospital,
  • 00:26:06.083 --> 00:26:07.785
  • She was in the 70s.
  • 00:26:07.785 --> 00:26:09.286
  • So while we're waiting,
  • 00:26:09.286 --> 00:26:11.989
  • Literally we're watching the numbers
  • 00:26:11.989 --> 00:26:14.491
  • Go higher and higher.
  • 00:26:14.491 --> 00:26:16.493
  • We're just standing, believing god.
  • 00:26:16.493 --> 00:26:18.395
  • By the time the doctor came, she was in the 90s.
  • 00:26:18.395 --> 00:26:21.999
  • Right now she is healthy and strong,
  • 00:26:21.999 --> 00:26:24.568
  • And we are grateful for receiving
  • 00:26:24.568 --> 00:26:28.072

  • We're standing on god's word.
  • 00:26:30.674 --> 00:26:32.376
  • It's not just that jesus can do it, but he's willing.
  • 00:26:32.376 --> 00:26:35.946
  • And i knew he was willing to heal
  • 00:26:35.946 --> 00:26:38.048
