  • 00:00:13.123 --> 00:00:14.057
  • Your mind.
  • 00:00:14.457 --> 00:00:15.792
  • First of all, you must acknowledge
  • 00:00:15.792 --> 00:00:17.127
  • This is not normal.
  • 00:00:17.127 --> 00:00:18.528

  • Joseph prince: it's very hard to be too sorrowful
  • 00:00:39.048 --> 00:00:40.483
  • Because, like a buoy in the water,
  • 00:00:40.483 --> 00:00:42.585
  • There is a joy and there's a peace,
  • 00:00:42.585 --> 00:00:44.120

  • 00:01:22.692 --> 00:01:24.961
  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:24.961 --> 00:01:26.362
  • Joseph prince: we do not know what the year holds,
  • 00:01:26.362 --> 00:01:28.898
  • But we know the one who holds the year.
  • 00:01:28.898 --> 00:01:31.901
  • We just have to put our hand in his hand
  • 00:01:31.901 --> 00:01:34.003
  • Because he knows everything.
  • 00:01:34.003 --> 00:01:35.672
  • He's gone ahead of us.
  • 00:01:35.672 --> 00:01:37.006
  • You know, the bible says time and time again,
  • 00:01:37.006 --> 00:01:38.875
  • The bible uses this phrase, the lord has gone ahead of you,
  • 00:01:38.875 --> 00:01:42.779
  • The lord has gone ahead of you.
  • 00:01:42.779 --> 00:01:44.814
  • You know, david one time he wasn't too sure
  • 00:01:44.814 --> 00:01:47.317
  • He was running away from king saul
  • 00:01:47.317 --> 00:01:49.986
  • And the enemies were coming and--
  • 00:01:49.986 --> 00:01:51.754
  • To attack some of the ranks of israel,
  • 00:01:51.754 --> 00:01:55.191
  • But then he said this.
  • 00:01:55.191 --> 00:01:56.526
  • God says, "wait."
  • 00:01:56.526 --> 00:01:57.994
  • Where you see the mulberry bush swaying in the wind,
  • 00:01:57.994 --> 00:02:03.299
  • The lord has gone ahead of you.
  • 00:02:03.299 --> 00:02:05.335
  • Go.
  • 00:02:05.335 --> 00:02:06.669
  • The battle is the lord's. amen?
  • 00:02:06.669 --> 00:02:08.605
  • So the lord has gone ahead of you.
  • 00:02:08.605 --> 00:02:12.342
  • He's making all the crooked places straight.
  • 00:02:12.342 --> 00:02:15.078
  • All the devices of the enemy, he will care for you
  • 00:02:15.078 --> 00:02:18.648
  • And protect you from them all, amen?
  • 00:02:18.648 --> 00:02:20.783
  • There's a beautiful phrase in the bible that talks about
  • 00:02:20.783 --> 00:02:23.686
  • How the lord cares for us from the beginning of the year
  • 00:02:23.686 --> 00:02:26.589
  • To the end.
  • 00:02:26.589 --> 00:02:27.924
  • Now, in the context here, it's talking about god's care
  • 00:02:27.924 --> 00:02:30.226
  • For the land of israel--
  • 00:02:30.226 --> 00:02:31.561
  • Of course, god prepared the land for his people, amen?
  • 00:02:31.561 --> 00:02:34.097
  • It's a picture of his love and care for his people.
  • 00:02:34.097 --> 00:02:36.833
  • Here it says that, "a land for which the lord your god cares."
  • 00:02:36.833 --> 00:02:41.237
  • Say, "god cares." amen?
  • 00:02:41.237 --> 00:02:43.840
  • A land which god cares.
  • 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.408
  • "the eyes of the lord your god are always on it,
  • 00:02:45.408 --> 00:02:48.144
  • From the beginning of the year to the very end of the year."
  • 00:02:48.144 --> 00:02:51.648
  • God's eyes are on you.
  • 00:02:51.648 --> 00:02:53.616
  • What was the land to them that god cares for,
  • 00:02:53.616 --> 00:02:55.652
  • God cares for you even more, amen?
  • 00:02:55.652 --> 00:02:59.322
  • If god cares for the sparrows that fall,
  • 00:02:59.322 --> 00:03:01.658
  • Not one of them falls without his knowledge,
  • 00:03:01.658 --> 00:03:04.227
  • Surely god cares for you, every one of you, amen?
  • 00:03:04.227 --> 00:03:08.765
  • And his eyes are on you and your families
  • 00:03:08.765 --> 00:03:13.036
  • From the beginning of this year to the end of the year, amen.
  • 00:03:13.036 --> 00:03:18.174
  • We only have to realize that.
  • 00:03:18.174 --> 00:03:20.176
  • We have to realize that god's eyes are not on us
  • 00:03:20.176 --> 00:03:22.578
  • To find fault with us, amen.
  • 00:03:22.578 --> 00:03:25.882
  • God never finds fault with the believer anymore.
  • 00:03:25.882 --> 00:03:28.985
  • Praise the lord. amen?
  • 00:03:28.985 --> 00:03:30.887
  • He will lead us and guide us
  • 00:03:30.887 --> 00:03:32.955
  • Into areas where we are making mistakes
  • 00:03:32.955 --> 00:03:34.557
  • Or we are not-- we are falling short.
  • 00:03:34.557 --> 00:03:36.759
  • He will direct us.
  • 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.561
  • He will help us, and we want to be helped as well.
  • 00:03:38.561 --> 00:03:42.265
  • We don't wanna keep on doing the wrong things, right?
  • 00:03:42.265 --> 00:03:44.500
  • But his eye is not on us to find fault, amen.
  • 00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:47.704
  • His eyes is on us to bless us, to favor us, to lead us,
  • 00:03:47.704 --> 00:03:51.507
  • To guide us, to protect us,
  • 00:03:51.507 --> 00:03:52.909
  • To provide for us all throughout this year.
  • 00:03:52.909 --> 00:03:55.978
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:03:55.978 --> 00:03:57.747
  • And as i was preparing for the message
  • 00:03:57.747 --> 00:03:59.449
  • To hear what god wants to say to his people this year,
  • 00:03:59.449 --> 00:04:03.419
  • The theme of the year-- and i'm so excited
  • 00:04:03.419 --> 00:04:05.154
  • Because i got this during my vacation, and i--
  • 00:04:05.154 --> 00:04:09.025
  • When i received it, i was so excited
  • 00:04:09.025 --> 00:04:10.626
  • That i really had to, you know, keep myself from telling
  • 00:04:10.626 --> 00:04:14.030
  • My family in the first place, amen?
  • 00:04:14.030 --> 00:04:16.632
  • But i just began to see more and more what god is doing.
  • 00:04:16.632 --> 00:04:20.336
  • Now, by no means is it a year-- from the view of the world,
  • 00:04:20.336 --> 00:04:25.508
  • It's gonna be a bleak, dismal kind of year
  • 00:04:25.508 --> 00:04:28.411
  • Because there are so many threats going on,
  • 00:04:28.411 --> 00:04:30.580
  • Exactly what jesus said.
  • 00:04:30.580 --> 00:04:32.181
  • It all confirms the word of god and what jesus said
  • 00:04:32.181 --> 00:04:35.618
  • When he says that there'll be plagues.
  • 00:04:35.618 --> 00:04:37.787
  • We just saw that happen a few years ago until now--
  • 00:04:37.787 --> 00:04:41.224
  • The pandemic.
  • 00:04:41.224 --> 00:04:42.558
  • Plagues, diseases.
  • 00:04:42.558 --> 00:04:45.128
  • And then he talks about famines. famines is recession, amen.
  • 00:04:45.128 --> 00:04:50.733
  • And we are embarking in a year-- i'm talking about naturally,
  • 00:04:50.733 --> 00:04:54.237
  • Not the people of god now, all right,
  • 00:04:54.237 --> 00:04:56.372
  • Into a year of recession, amen?
  • 00:04:56.372 --> 00:04:59.075
  • For the people of god, god will provide for you.
  • 00:04:59.075 --> 00:05:01.511
  • God will watch over you
  • 00:05:01.511 --> 00:05:03.079
  • From the beginning of the year to the end, amen,
  • 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.215
  • And then also wars, and there'll be news of wars, rumors of wars.
  • 00:05:06.215 --> 00:05:12.922
  • And jesus says then, "lift up your heads.
  • 00:05:12.922 --> 00:05:14.891
  • When you see these things happen, don't be discouraged,"
  • 00:05:14.891 --> 00:05:16.726
  • Jesus said.
  • 00:05:16.726 --> 00:05:18.060
  • "lift up your heads. your redemption draws near."
  • 00:05:18.060 --> 00:05:21.397
  • Now, what redemption is it?
  • 00:05:21.397 --> 00:05:22.732
  • Because once you are saved, you have been redeemed, amen,
  • 00:05:22.732 --> 00:05:25.067
  • By the blood of jesus.
  • 00:05:25.067 --> 00:05:26.402
  • What is that redemption that our lord is talking about?
  • 00:05:26.402 --> 00:05:29.071
  • It's your bodily redemption. it's your bodily redemption.
  • 00:05:29.071 --> 00:05:32.508
  • You see, even this side of heaven, we know believers--
  • 00:05:32.508 --> 00:05:35.611
  • Even believers suffer the same fate, in the sense,
  • 00:05:35.611 --> 00:05:39.315
  • Physically as non-believers.
  • 00:05:39.315 --> 00:05:41.484
  • Yes, we believe god for healing and all that,
  • 00:05:41.484 --> 00:05:43.619
  • But we are still not the best
  • 00:05:43.619 --> 00:05:44.987
  • Where we have a body that would never be sick,
  • 00:05:44.987 --> 00:05:47.990
  • Never be tired, never grow old, never even feeling bored, amen,
  • 00:05:47.990 --> 00:05:54.297
  • The body that jesus had when he rose from the dead.
  • 00:05:54.297 --> 00:05:57.200
  • You see, the redemption of jesus at the cross redeem us
  • 00:05:57.200 --> 00:06:00.236
  • In all the tripartite nature of man, in all the three parts:
  • 00:06:00.236 --> 00:06:05.308
  • Spirit, soul, and body.
  • 00:06:05.308 --> 00:06:06.876
  • Lemme pause here and just say this.
  • 00:06:06.876 --> 00:06:08.211
  • You are--okay, let's say-- say this after me, okay?
  • 00:06:08.211 --> 00:06:11.614
  • It will help you understand. okay, i'm gonna say it first.
  • 00:06:11.614 --> 00:06:13.983
  • I am a spirit. i am not a body.
  • 00:06:13.983 --> 00:06:16.018
  • I am a spirit. i live in a body.
  • 00:06:16.018 --> 00:06:17.854
  • I am a spirit. if i die, i'll step out of it.
  • 00:06:17.854 --> 00:06:21.057
  • No, you say it afterwards, all right?
  • 00:06:21.057 --> 00:06:23.025
  • I'll lead you, okay? i have a soul.
  • 00:06:23.025 --> 00:06:27.196
  • My soul is my mind, my emotions, and my will.
  • 00:06:27.196 --> 00:06:30.166
  • That is my soul. i have a soul.
  • 00:06:30.166 --> 00:06:31.901
  • I am not my soul, i have a soul.
  • 00:06:31.901 --> 00:06:34.003
  • I am a spirit. god is a spirit, amen?
  • 00:06:34.003 --> 00:06:37.340
  • Spirit brought forth--
  • 00:06:37.340 --> 00:06:39.575
  • God brought forth everything physical.
  • 00:06:39.575 --> 00:06:42.879
  • Physical is greater than spiri--sorry.
  • 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.681
  • Spirit is greater than physical
  • 00:06:45.681 --> 00:06:47.316
  • Because physical has a time limit.
  • 00:06:47.316 --> 00:06:50.686
  • You know, the chair is physical, all right?
  • 00:06:50.686 --> 00:06:52.955
  • The body is physical.
  • 00:06:52.955 --> 00:06:54.290
  • Everything that's physical can decay and die, all right?
  • 00:06:54.290 --> 00:06:57.827
  • But the spirit lives forever, amen.
  • 00:06:57.827 --> 00:07:00.563
  • That's why there's a place that must house the spirit,
  • 00:07:00.563 --> 00:07:03.132
  • Heaven or hell, 'cause the spirit of man
  • 00:07:03.132 --> 00:07:05.601
  • Is that part of man that god breathed into man.
  • 00:07:05.601 --> 00:07:08.204
  • When god made his body, it's like a mannequin, lifeless,
  • 00:07:08.204 --> 00:07:11.741
  • All right, just a body there;
  • 00:07:11.741 --> 00:07:13.075
  • Then god breathed into adam, and adam became a living soul.
  • 00:07:13.075 --> 00:07:17.146
  • The ultimate thing, if you burn a body,
  • 00:07:17.146 --> 00:07:21.150
  • Any body for that matter, all right, it goes back to dust,
  • 00:07:21.150 --> 00:07:24.253
  • Amen, the very soil that god made man from.
  • 00:07:24.253 --> 00:07:26.956
  • I think god combined a part of his being into us,
  • 00:07:26.956 --> 00:07:30.092
  • Which is noble,
  • 00:07:30.092 --> 00:07:31.627
  • Which is the highest, amen, of creation
  • 00:07:31.627 --> 00:07:34.096
  • Because that part came from god.
  • 00:07:34.096 --> 00:07:35.798
  • God didn't make animals out of his breath, amen?
  • 00:07:35.798 --> 00:07:38.367
  • God didn't make the stars, the sun, the moon
  • 00:07:38.367 --> 00:07:41.437
  • Out of his breath, but god did it out of himself.
  • 00:07:41.437 --> 00:07:44.740
  • He gave a portion of himself to man, which is his spirit.
  • 00:07:44.740 --> 00:07:47.944
  • That's why spirit is eternal, amen.
  • 00:07:47.944 --> 00:07:50.980
  • But we are more conscious of the physical,
  • 00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:52.615
  • Because we are dead spiritually,
  • 00:07:52.615 --> 00:07:54.083
  • But it's the spirit that causes the material
  • 00:07:54.083 --> 00:07:56.185
  • To come into pass, amen.
  • 00:07:56.185 --> 00:07:58.387
  • So what are you? you are a spirit.
  • 00:07:58.387 --> 00:07:59.956
  • Say, "i am a spirit."
  • 00:07:59.956 --> 00:08:01.290
  • Now you can say, "i am a spirit. i have a soul.
  • 00:08:01.290 --> 00:08:05.227
  • That's my mind, my emotions, and my will.
  • 00:08:05.227 --> 00:08:10.499
  • I live in a body.
  • 00:08:10.499 --> 00:08:12.902
  • I live in this house called a body."
  • 00:08:12.902 --> 00:08:16.572
  • Now, look around you.
  • 00:08:16.572 --> 00:08:17.907
  • Look at all the different houses.
  • 00:08:17.907 --> 00:08:20.142
  • Look at all the different ceilings.
  • 00:08:20.142 --> 00:08:24.847
  • Amen? i got news for you.
  • 00:08:24.847 --> 00:08:26.849
  • You only have one house. take care of it.
  • 00:08:26.849 --> 00:08:30.820
  • Once you check out, you cannot check in again,
  • 00:08:30.820 --> 00:08:34.023
  • All right?
  • 00:08:34.023 --> 00:08:35.358
  • I know we can buy houses, more than one house.
  • 00:08:35.358 --> 00:08:38.594
  • You don't like one house, you can buy another house--
  • 00:08:38.594 --> 00:08:40.563
  • For some of you, right?
  • 00:08:40.563 --> 00:08:41.964
  • But for this, for you, this house matters more
  • 00:08:41.964 --> 00:08:46.268
  • Than any other house, amen.
  • 00:08:46.268 --> 00:08:47.970
  • You live in this house. take care of it.
  • 00:08:47.970 --> 00:08:50.306
  • You only have one house to live in, amen?
  • 00:08:50.306 --> 00:08:52.808
  • Let this be the year that you take care of your house.
  • 00:08:52.808 --> 00:08:56.412
  • You take care of your house by letting god take care of
  • 00:08:56.412 --> 00:08:58.547
  • Your house.
  • 00:08:58.547 --> 00:08:59.882
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:08:59.882 --> 00:09:01.217
  • But in between our minds, it's something that the lord--
  • 00:09:01.217 --> 00:09:03.719
  • It surprised me when he said that,
  • 00:09:03.719 --> 00:09:05.054
  • "i want to heal their minds.
  • 00:09:05.054 --> 00:09:06.389
  • Because in the beginning when i made men,
  • 00:09:06.389 --> 00:09:08.858
  • Their minds were not forgetful."
  • 00:09:08.858 --> 00:09:13.062
  • But what has happened, he began to show me that, many of us,
  • 00:09:13.062 --> 00:09:15.464
  • We have accepted our forgetfulness as normal.
  • 00:09:15.464 --> 00:09:19.535
  • We hear reports.
  • 00:09:19.535 --> 00:09:20.903
  • We watch, you know, around us at other people and all that,
  • 00:09:20.903 --> 00:09:23.506
  • And they laugh, and people make jokes about it, you know.
  • 00:09:23.506 --> 00:09:26.208
  • People joke, like, this man went up the stairs
  • 00:09:26.208 --> 00:09:28.377
  • And he turned to his elderly wife
  • 00:09:28.377 --> 00:09:31.047
  • And he looked up and then he looked down again,
  • 00:09:31.047 --> 00:09:32.915
  • Look up, and then says, "now i do not know
  • 00:09:32.915 --> 00:09:34.617
  • Whether i'm going down or going up," you know.
  • 00:09:34.617 --> 00:09:37.553
  • And people joke about that.
  • 00:09:37.553 --> 00:09:38.888
  • And, you know, we have moments whereby we enter into a room
  • 00:09:38.888 --> 00:09:42.091
  • And we ask ourself, "why am i in this room?
  • 00:09:42.091 --> 00:09:45.361
  • What did i come here for?" don't put up your hands.
  • 00:09:45.361 --> 00:09:47.997
  • We call this a senior moment, right,
  • 00:09:47.997 --> 00:09:51.667
  • But we accept it as normal, okay.
  • 00:09:51.667 --> 00:09:53.736
  • People even make jokes about it.
  • 00:09:53.736 --> 00:09:55.337
  • But what the lord said to me is that it's a curse.
  • 00:09:55.337 --> 00:09:58.140
  • It's a curse that came in because of adam's fall,
  • 00:09:58.140 --> 00:10:00.943
  • And christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law
  • 00:10:00.943 --> 00:10:04.914
  • On that cross, amen.
  • 00:10:04.914 --> 00:10:06.248
  • If you look at adam before he sinned,
  • 00:10:06.248 --> 00:10:07.883
  • You look at adam, when god made adam--
  • 00:10:07.883 --> 00:10:10.453
  • God made all the animals-- god made adam last,
  • 00:10:10.453 --> 00:10:13.222
  • And god made all the animals and everything else
  • 00:10:13.222 --> 00:10:15.458
  • So that man can enjoy whatever he has done.
  • 00:10:15.458 --> 00:10:19.195
  • God didn't make him first or on the second day
  • 00:10:19.195 --> 00:10:21.464
  • Or the third day so that man cannot glory
  • 00:10:21.464 --> 00:10:23.799
  • Or take part in what god has done.
  • 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.803
  • All the glory goes to god.
  • 00:10:27.803 --> 00:10:29.605
  • Man is the recipient of his love,
  • 00:10:29.605 --> 00:10:31.373
  • The beneficiary of all his blessings, amen?
  • 00:10:31.373 --> 00:10:34.677
  • That's the life we are to live.
  • 00:10:34.677 --> 00:10:36.512
  • Salvation begins when you receive, not when you do.
  • 00:10:36.512 --> 00:10:40.916
  • It's not your doing that saves you,
  • 00:10:40.916 --> 00:10:42.251
  • It's receiving the finished work of jesus, amen?
  • 00:10:42.251 --> 00:10:45.654
  • The old testament, the old agreement
  • 00:10:45.654 --> 00:10:48.324
  • Was that you do and do and do,
  • 00:10:48.324 --> 00:10:49.892
  • But no one can do to the level that god requires.
  • 00:10:49.892 --> 00:10:53.262
  • See, god say--god knew that. man doesn't know that.
  • 00:10:53.262 --> 00:10:55.197
  • So god sent his son.
  • 00:10:55.197 --> 00:10:56.632
  • He died for us and now salvation begins with d-o-n-e, done, amen?
  • 00:10:56.632 --> 00:11:02.938
  • We rest in the finished work. can i have a good amen?
  • 00:11:02.938 --> 00:11:05.841
  • So god made man in his image. we are tripartite, amen.
  • 00:11:05.841 --> 00:11:09.979
  • If one part suffers, we suffer.
  • 00:11:09.979 --> 00:11:11.680
  • If your mind is restless, the body says,
  • 00:11:11.680 --> 00:11:15.351
  • "all right, produce disease, produce sickness."
  • 00:11:15.351 --> 00:11:18.154
  • And doctors will say, like, stress can cause sickness
  • 00:11:18.154 --> 00:11:22.591
  • In your body, amen.
  • 00:11:22.591 --> 00:11:24.693
  • Your spirit is not at rest, it can affect your mind.
  • 00:11:24.693 --> 00:11:27.429
  • Your mind can affect your body.
  • 00:11:27.429 --> 00:11:28.764
  • You cannot say that, you know, this part is this part
  • 00:11:28.764 --> 00:11:31.167
  • And that part is that part.
  • 00:11:31.167 --> 00:11:32.501
  • It's all correlated. it is all symbiotic, okay?
  • 00:11:32.501 --> 00:11:36.572
  • And so when god made you in his image,
  • 00:11:36.572 --> 00:11:39.041
  • You are tripartite, amen?
  • 00:11:39.041 --> 00:11:41.443
  • Smile at your neighbor and tell them, "tripartite."
  • 00:11:41.443 --> 00:11:45.881
  • Okay, so watch this.
  • 00:11:45.881 --> 00:11:48.017
  • The lord said to me he wants to heal your mind.
  • 00:11:48.017 --> 00:11:50.853
  • First of all, you must acknowledge
  • 00:11:50.853 --> 00:11:52.188
  • This is not normal.
  • 00:11:52.188 --> 00:11:53.756
  • You keep on hearing-- watching the news.
  • 00:11:53.756 --> 00:11:55.457
  • You keep on hearing the news.
  • 00:11:55.457 --> 00:11:56.792
  • You keep on looking at man's report, okay,
  • 00:11:56.792 --> 00:11:59.695
  • You will accept that condition.
  • 00:11:59.695 --> 00:12:02.198
  • But don't say things like "i'm getting old.
  • 00:12:02.198 --> 00:12:05.634
  • I'm being forgetful."
  • 00:12:05.634 --> 00:12:07.469
  • Now, isn't it interesting in the old testament,
  • 00:12:07.469 --> 00:12:09.104
  • In the book of proverbs, written by the wisest man,
  • 00:12:09.104 --> 00:12:11.507
  • King solomon, whom god gave him wisdom--he said this
  • 00:12:11.507 --> 00:12:15.010
  • About these same procedures.
  • 00:12:15.010 --> 00:12:17.046
  • Look at what he says.
  • 00:12:17.046 --> 00:12:18.714
  • "give attention to," what? "to my words."
  • 00:12:18.714 --> 00:12:20.583
  • That's priority.
  • 00:12:20.583 --> 00:12:22.284
  • Then he says this: "incline your ear," now your ear gate,
  • 00:12:22.284 --> 00:12:25.254
  • "to my sayings.
  • 00:12:25.254 --> 00:12:26.655
  • Do not let them depart from," where?
  • 00:12:26.655 --> 00:12:28.757
  • "your eyes." then what happens?
  • 00:12:28.757 --> 00:12:31.727
  • "keep them in the midst of your heart."
  • 00:12:31.727 --> 00:12:33.896
  • Notice the same procedure, right?
  • 00:12:33.896 --> 00:12:36.699
  • It's through your eye gate, it's through your ear gate,
  • 00:12:36.699 --> 00:12:39.034
  • See god's word.
  • 00:12:39.034 --> 00:12:40.369
  • How do you see god's word?
  • 00:12:40.369 --> 00:12:41.704
  • Doesn't mean that you take the bible, all right,
  • 00:12:41.704 --> 00:12:43.038
  • And you go through a orchard road like this...
  • 00:12:43.038 --> 00:12:46.809
  • And bump into everyone and lampposts and all that.
  • 00:12:46.809 --> 00:12:49.578
  • Of course not. it means what?
  • 00:12:49.578 --> 00:12:50.946
  • In your mind you visualize, you imagine god's word.
  • 00:12:50.946 --> 00:12:54.216
  • When god's word says that you are a tree
  • 00:12:54.216 --> 00:12:56.085
  • Planted by the rivers of water, you see yourself like that.
  • 00:12:56.085 --> 00:12:58.287
  • Whatever he does prospers, you see yourself like that.
  • 00:12:58.287 --> 00:13:00.890
  • When the world is saying you're getting older,
  • 00:13:00.890 --> 00:13:02.458
  • You see yourself green.
  • 00:13:02.458 --> 00:13:03.792
  • The bible says, "they shall bear fruit in old age.
  • 00:13:03.792 --> 00:13:06.228
  • They shall be green and full of sap."
  • 00:13:06.228 --> 00:13:08.097
  • You see god's word, you see god's word,
  • 00:13:08.097 --> 00:13:09.565
  • You believe god's word until it drops in your heart.
  • 00:13:09.565 --> 00:13:13.802
  • You see, "keep them in the midst of your heart."
  • 00:13:13.802 --> 00:13:15.137
  • It will drop into your heart.
  • 00:13:15.137 --> 00:13:16.472
  • "for they," god's word, are what?
  • 00:13:16.472 --> 00:13:18.307
  • "they are life unto those who find them--"
  • 00:13:18.307 --> 00:13:21.810
  • Not for everyone, for those who find them,
  • 00:13:21.810 --> 00:13:24.480
  • Those who receive through your eye gate, ear gate,
  • 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.482
  • Dropping to their heart.
  • 00:13:26.482 --> 00:13:27.816
  • "they are life to those who find them,
  • 00:13:27.816 --> 00:13:30.152
  • And health to all their flesh."
  • 00:13:30.152 --> 00:13:35.691
  • And don't allow the values of the world
  • 00:13:35.691 --> 00:13:37.159
  • Become your values.
  • 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:38.594
  • If you are depressed and you think this is normal--
  • 00:13:38.594 --> 00:13:41.830
  • Don't accept people who say it's okay not to be okay
  • 00:13:41.830 --> 00:13:47.136
  • If you are depressed, all right?
  • 00:13:47.136 --> 00:13:48.938
  • It's okay for them to say that. they are not depressed.
  • 00:13:48.938 --> 00:13:52.374
  • But i'm telling you god wants you free from depression.
  • 00:13:52.374 --> 00:13:55.344
  • There's a place where you can have peace in your mind
  • 00:13:55.344 --> 00:13:57.813
  • And tranquility in your heart.
  • 00:13:57.813 --> 00:14:00.082
  • God loves you. he wants you to have that.
  • 00:14:00.082 --> 00:14:03.786
  • So easy to go to someone and say, "it's okay.
  • 00:14:03.786 --> 00:14:05.487
  • Accept your condition. don't look for relief.
  • 00:14:05.487 --> 00:14:07.423
  • Don't look for--" no, no, understand:
  • 00:14:07.423 --> 00:14:10.292
  • People in depression--
  • 00:14:10.292 --> 00:14:11.627
  • You must never condemn them, never.
  • 00:14:11.627 --> 00:14:14.330
  • It's not wrong to be depressed,
  • 00:14:14.330 --> 00:14:16.732
  • But to think that it's a normal state
  • 00:14:16.732 --> 00:14:19.401
  • And forever you're in that state and where people saying
  • 00:14:19.401 --> 00:14:21.570
  • It's okay--no, no.
  • 00:14:21.570 --> 00:14:23.005
  • Easy for you to say.
  • 00:14:23.005 --> 00:14:25.040
  • God wants the best for that person.
  • 00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:27.142
  • God wants that person set free. can i have a good amen?
  • 00:14:27.142 --> 00:14:33.849
  • So in god's house, you hear god's word, you see god's word.
  • 00:14:33.849 --> 00:14:39.388
  • Yes, at home you can also,
  • 00:14:39.388 --> 00:14:40.923
  • But there are so many distractions.
  • 00:14:40.923 --> 00:14:42.591
  • So make sure at least you have that sunday.
  • 00:14:42.591 --> 00:14:45.995
  • Start the year right, my friends, amen?
  • 00:14:45.995 --> 00:14:48.664
  • So here it says, "they are life to those who find them,
  • 00:14:48.664 --> 00:14:51.266
  • And health to all their flesh."
  • 00:14:51.266 --> 00:14:53.002
  • Now, wisdom is what god wants you to have.
  • 00:14:53.002 --> 00:14:57.539
  • The bible says wisdom is the principal thing.
  • 00:14:57.539 --> 00:14:59.708
  • Now, you think that, "well, pastor prince,
  • 00:14:59.708 --> 00:15:01.977
  • I would have you know i got quite--how to say this?
  • 00:15:01.977 --> 00:15:05.014
  • Quite high iq, you know. i don't wanna brag.
  • 00:15:05.014 --> 00:15:08.517
  • I just--very high. super high, you know."
  • 00:15:08.517 --> 00:15:14.890
  • Well, wisdom has got nothing to do with iq.
  • 00:15:14.890 --> 00:15:17.659
  • Nothing to do with iq, amen.
  • 00:15:17.659 --> 00:15:20.796
  • I have seen doctors...smoking. now, he's got intelligence.
  • 00:15:20.796 --> 00:15:27.169
  • He's got knowledge. he's got the education.
  • 00:15:27.169 --> 00:15:30.172
  • He has no wisdom, all right?
  • 00:15:30.172 --> 00:15:33.275
  • There are people who messed up their marriage
  • 00:15:33.275 --> 00:15:36.078
  • And they are professors, all right?
  • 00:15:36.078 --> 00:15:39.014
  • There are scientists, all right, who have no good relationship
  • 00:15:39.014 --> 00:15:43.018
  • With their children.
  • 00:15:43.018 --> 00:15:44.453
  • They just mess it up every time their kids are with them.
  • 00:15:44.453 --> 00:15:46.088
  • They say the wrong-- there's no wisdom.
  • 00:15:46.088 --> 00:15:49.124
  • Wisdom comes from the lord.
  • 00:15:49.124 --> 00:15:51.794
  • And what happen when man finds wisdom of god?
  • 00:15:51.794 --> 00:15:54.129
  • Here's what happens.
  • 00:15:54.129 --> 00:15:55.464
  • "happy is the man who finds wisdom,
  • 00:15:55.464 --> 00:15:57.199
  • And the man who gains understanding;
  • 00:15:57.199 --> 00:15:59.668
  • Her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
  • 00:15:59.668 --> 00:16:02.438
  • Her gain than fine gold."
  • 00:16:02.438 --> 00:16:03.972
  • All the things you look for today.
  • 00:16:03.972 --> 00:16:05.841
  • "you know, i promise you this, the stock market,
  • 00:16:05.841 --> 00:16:07.743
  • The crypto market, this market, that market--"
  • 00:16:07.743 --> 00:16:10.179
  • Whatever it is, the bible promises more
  • 00:16:10.179 --> 00:16:11.814
  • When you receive wisdom, and this is the word of god.
  • 00:16:11.814 --> 00:16:15.517
  • "and she's more precious than rubies--"
  • 00:16:15.517 --> 00:16:16.852
  • Now you see she's--wisdom is personified as a woman.
  • 00:16:16.852 --> 00:16:20.355
  • "and all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
  • 00:16:20.355 --> 00:16:24.026
  • Length of days--" the first thing she gives you.
  • 00:16:24.026 --> 00:16:25.661
  • "length of days is in her right hand--"
  • 00:16:25.661 --> 00:16:27.062
  • How many agree right hand is the hand of priority?
  • 00:16:27.062 --> 00:16:30.132
  • Would you say that, your right hand?
  • 00:16:30.132 --> 00:16:31.733
  • Hand of priority, right?
  • 00:16:31.733 --> 00:16:33.068
  • So priority number one to god is not riches, is not fame,
  • 00:16:33.068 --> 00:16:36.305
  • Is not honor.
  • 00:16:36.305 --> 00:16:37.639
  • It is what? health, amen.
  • 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.477
  • What's the point if you are the richest man in the world
  • 00:16:41.477 --> 00:16:44.213
  • But you are dying, right?
  • 00:16:44.213 --> 00:16:46.815
  • So health is number one in the--in her right hand.
  • 00:16:46.815 --> 00:16:49.184
  • Notice that?
  • 00:16:49.184 --> 00:16:50.519
  • Length of days, longevity is in her right hand, all right?
  • 00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.322
  • Then in her left hand are riches and honor.
  • 00:16:53.322 --> 00:16:57.359
  • So blessing number two is riches.
  • 00:16:57.359 --> 00:16:59.928
  • Number three, honor in her left hand.
  • 00:16:59.928 --> 00:17:02.898
  • "her ways are ways of pleasantness--"
  • 00:17:02.898 --> 00:17:06.101
  • There's a pleasantness.
  • 00:17:06.101 --> 00:17:07.436
  • Doesn't mean that things are not--
  • 00:17:07.436 --> 00:17:08.770
  • You know, there will be a lot of things going wrong,
  • 00:17:08.770 --> 00:17:10.239
  • There will be a lot of adversities and challenges
  • 00:17:10.239 --> 00:17:13.075
  • That we will be faced with this year,
  • 00:17:13.075 --> 00:17:15.244
  • But somehow it's like--
  • 00:17:15.244 --> 00:17:16.578
  • It's very hard to be too sorrowful
  • 00:17:16.578 --> 00:17:18.113
  • Because, like a buoy in the water,
  • 00:17:18.113 --> 00:17:20.182
  • There is a joy and there's a peace,
  • 00:17:20.182 --> 00:17:21.583
  • A pleasantness that lifts you up.
  • 00:17:21.583 --> 00:17:24.052
  • That's what jesus gives you.
  • 00:17:24.052 --> 00:17:26.021
  • In the midst of the adversity, amen, you'll be buoyed up, amen?
  • 00:17:26.021 --> 00:17:30.993
  • You'll be raised up above your sorrows.
  • 00:17:30.993 --> 00:17:33.095
  • The joy of the lord.
  • 00:17:33.095 --> 00:17:35.130
  • Happiness depends on happening that happen to happen
  • 00:17:35.130 --> 00:17:37.599
  • The way you want it to happen, then you are happy.
  • 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.169
  • There's the word--old english word for h-a-p, hap.
  • 00:17:40.169 --> 00:17:43.172
  • But joy doesn't depend on happiness, on hap happenings.
  • 00:17:43.172 --> 00:17:47.609
  • Paul was in the prison, being bound with chains,
  • 00:17:47.609 --> 00:17:51.580
  • And he was singing, amen.
  • 00:17:51.580 --> 00:17:55.184
  • That's the joy of the lord. praise the lord.
  • 00:17:55.184 --> 00:17:58.453
  • And all the people said amen. so watch this, all right?
  • 00:17:58.453 --> 00:18:02.658
  • Length of days. that's health.
  • 00:18:02.658 --> 00:18:04.893
  • Riches, two. three is honor.
  • 00:18:04.893 --> 00:18:08.430
  • Four is pleasantness.
  • 00:18:08.430 --> 00:18:09.765
  • And all her paths are, shalom in hebrew, peace.
  • 00:18:09.765 --> 00:18:14.336
  • All her paths are peace.
  • 00:18:14.336 --> 00:18:17.239
  • And peace is also well-being, wholeness, amen?
  • 00:18:17.239 --> 00:18:21.510
  • It's like completeness, amen?
  • 00:18:21.510 --> 00:18:24.746
  • Once again, what does wisdom give you?
  • 00:18:24.746 --> 00:18:28.350
  • Length of days--health, length of days, riches,
  • 00:18:28.350 --> 00:18:31.153
  • Honor, pleasantness, peace.
  • 00:18:31.153 --> 00:18:36.525
  • So she's personified as a woman.
  • 00:18:36.525 --> 00:18:38.427
  • You embrace her, both her hands support you.
  • 00:18:38.427 --> 00:18:41.563
  • Go for wisdom. go for wisdom.
  • 00:18:41.563 --> 00:18:45.033
  • Ask god for wisdom. such was solomon.
  • 00:18:45.033 --> 00:18:48.070
  • When his father david, the one who killed goliath,
  • 00:18:48.070 --> 00:18:51.039
  • Who was--who became king later on, he died,
  • 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.542
  • Solomon his son ascended the throne, and he said to god--
  • 00:18:53.542 --> 00:18:56.578
  • You know, one night he had a dream
  • 00:18:56.578 --> 00:18:58.447
  • And he was in a place called gibeon,
  • 00:18:58.447 --> 00:19:01.817
  • Where the tabernacle of moses was.
  • 00:19:01.817 --> 00:19:03.885
  • And he had a dream that night,
  • 00:19:03.885 --> 00:19:05.921
  • And the lord appeared to him in a dream and god says,
  • 00:19:05.921 --> 00:19:08.190
  • "ask what i shall give you."
  • 00:19:08.190 --> 00:19:09.625
  • He asked god for this.
  • 00:19:09.625 --> 00:19:11.393
  • He says, "'therefore give to your servant
  • 00:19:11.393 --> 00:19:13.262
  • An understanding heart to judge your people,
  • 00:19:13.262 --> 00:19:16.565
  • That i may discern between good and evil.
  • 00:19:16.565 --> 00:19:18.567
  • For who is able to judge this great people of yours?'
  • 00:19:18.567 --> 00:19:22.404
  • And the speech pleased the lord,
  • 00:19:22.404 --> 00:19:23.739
  • That solomon had asked this thing."
  • 00:19:23.739 --> 00:19:25.907
  • So god was very pleased.
  • 00:19:25.907 --> 00:19:27.242
  • You ask god for wisdom today, you will please the same god.
  • 00:19:27.242 --> 00:19:31.747
  • He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, amen?
  • 00:19:31.747 --> 00:19:34.816
  • He asked god for wisdom. and what did god answer him?
  • 00:19:34.816 --> 00:19:38.587
  • "god said to him: 'because you have asked this thing,
  • 00:19:38.587 --> 00:19:40.522
  • And have not asked long life for yourself,
  • 00:19:40.522 --> 00:19:42.724
  • You have not asked riches for yourself--'"
  • 00:19:42.724 --> 00:19:44.593
  • Actually, wisdom brings all these things, right?
  • 00:19:44.593 --> 00:19:47.462
  • "but you didn't ask all these things,
  • 00:19:47.462 --> 00:19:48.797
  • But you have asked the life--
  • 00:19:48.797 --> 00:19:50.132
  • Nor did you ask for the life of your enemies,
  • 00:19:50.132 --> 00:19:51.733
  • But you have asked for yourself
  • 00:19:51.733 --> 00:19:53.235
  • Understanding to discern justice,
  • 00:19:53.235 --> 00:19:54.970
  • Behold, i have done according to your words;
  • 00:19:54.970 --> 00:19:57.773
  • See, i have given you a wise and understanding heart,
  • 00:19:57.773 --> 00:20:01.443
  • So that there has never--
  • 00:20:01.443 --> 00:20:02.978
  • There has not been anyone like you before you,
  • 00:20:02.978 --> 00:20:04.780
  • Nor shall any after you arise."
  • 00:20:04.780 --> 00:20:07.949
  • You know, like you, okay?
  • 00:20:07.949 --> 00:20:09.284
  • "and i've also given you what you have not asked."
  • 00:20:09.284 --> 00:20:11.320
  • Watch this.
  • 00:20:11.320 --> 00:20:12.654
  • "i have given you what you have not asked."
  • 00:20:12.654 --> 00:20:13.989
  • He asked god for wisdom. god gave him what?
  • 00:20:13.989 --> 00:20:15.957
  • "i have given you what you have not asked:
  • 00:20:15.957 --> 00:20:18.026
  • Both riches and honor--" what is that?
  • 00:20:18.026 --> 00:20:20.062
  • The left hand, right?
  • 00:20:20.062 --> 00:20:23.265
  • You ask god for wisdom, you get everything.
  • 00:20:23.265 --> 00:20:26.768
  • But for solomon, he asked god for wisdom,
  • 00:20:26.768 --> 00:20:29.204
  • God says, "i've given you what you have not asked,
  • 00:20:29.204 --> 00:20:30.639
  • Riches and honor."
  • 00:20:30.639 --> 00:20:31.973
  • That's the left hand.
  • 00:20:31.973 --> 00:20:33.308
  • But what about the right hand, health, length of days?
  • 00:20:33.308 --> 00:20:36.445
  • God says, "if you walk in all my ways,
  • 00:20:36.445 --> 00:20:38.947
  • To keep my statutes and my commandments--"
  • 00:20:38.947 --> 00:20:41.683
  • By the way, riches and honor
  • 00:20:41.683 --> 00:20:43.285
  • Is like "there shall not be anyone like you
  • 00:20:43.285 --> 00:20:44.886
  • Among the kings all your days."
  • 00:20:44.886 --> 00:20:46.421
  • Until today, he is the richest man that ever lived.
  • 00:20:46.421 --> 00:20:48.890
  • Yes, he's richer than elon musk, all right?
  • 00:20:48.890 --> 00:20:52.327
  • Considering inflation and all that,
  • 00:20:52.327 --> 00:20:54.429
  • You'll find that he's a trillion-trillionaire over.
  • 00:20:54.429 --> 00:20:59.735
  • And god says, "if you walk in my ways,
  • 00:20:59.735 --> 00:21:02.437
  • To keep my statutes and my commandments,
  • 00:21:02.437 --> 00:21:04.005
  • As your father david walked, then i will lengthen your days."
  • 00:21:04.005 --> 00:21:06.308
  • However, if you study the life of solomon,
  • 00:21:06.308 --> 00:21:07.642
  • He didn't live long.
  • 00:21:07.642 --> 00:21:08.977
  • He died young.
  • 00:21:08.977 --> 00:21:10.312
  • Now, i tell you this.
  • 00:21:10.312 --> 00:21:11.646
  • Later on, he turned away from god.
  • 00:21:11.646 --> 00:21:12.981
  • That tells us wisdom is not an "it."
  • 00:21:12.981 --> 00:21:15.350
  • It is a "he."
  • 00:21:15.350 --> 00:21:18.920
  • As you come to the lord, you spend more time with him,
  • 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:20.655
  • You're spending time with wisdom.
  • 00:21:20.655 --> 00:21:22.891
  • Wisdom is a person, amen. later on, he left the lord.
  • 00:21:22.891 --> 00:21:26.094
  • Notice what god said, all right?
  • 00:21:26.094 --> 00:21:28.530
  • "i gave you the left hand, riches and honor;
  • 00:21:28.530 --> 00:21:30.866
  • But for the right hand you must keep my commandments."
  • 00:21:30.866 --> 00:21:32.501
  • Back then, they were under the law.
  • 00:21:32.501 --> 00:21:34.569
  • They were under the ten commandments.
  • 00:21:34.569 --> 00:21:35.904
  • But we are under grace. jesus fulfilled it all for us.
  • 00:21:35.904 --> 00:21:40.108
  • It's like jesus took your exam and gave you an a+.
  • 00:21:40.108 --> 00:21:43.745
  • Jesus took your exam, gave you the a+, all right?
  • 00:21:43.745 --> 00:21:47.783
  • That is very simple we are trying to tell you
  • 00:21:47.783 --> 00:21:51.019
  • That jesus did it all and gave it to you.
  • 00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:53.522
  • So jesus is known as "the son of my right hand."
  • 00:21:53.522 --> 00:21:56.258
  • So you and i today have the right hand, the blessing.
  • 00:21:56.258 --> 00:21:59.861
  • Amen!
  • 00:21:59.861 --> 00:22:01.463
  • Jesus is the son of the right hand.
  • 00:22:01.463 --> 00:22:03.131
  • Hallelujah. so we have both, amen.
  • 00:22:03.131 --> 00:22:06.301
  • And then the bible says,
  • 00:22:06.301 --> 00:22:08.770
  • "solomon awoke; and indeed it had been a dream.
  • 00:22:08.770 --> 00:22:14.543
  • And he came to jerusalem
  • 00:22:14.543 --> 00:22:15.877
  • And stood before the ark of the covenant of the lord."
  • 00:22:15.877 --> 00:22:17.746
  • I wanna tell you something.
  • 00:22:17.746 --> 00:22:19.281
  • This is one result that you know you receive wisdom.
  • 00:22:19.281 --> 00:22:21.783
  • How? he was sleeping.
  • 00:22:21.783 --> 00:22:23.618
  • All this transaction happened while he was sleeping.
  • 00:22:23.618 --> 00:22:26.922
  • Meditate. meditate on god's word.
  • 00:22:26.922 --> 00:22:29.791
  • Take a verse, chew on it the whole day, amen?
  • 00:22:29.791 --> 00:22:34.329
  • As you drive to work, chew on it.
  • 00:22:34.329 --> 00:22:36.198
  • Chew on it.
  • 00:22:36.198 --> 00:22:37.532
  • "they are life to those who find them, mm, health to all."
  • 00:22:37.532 --> 00:22:43.605
  • And you memorize. "no evil shall befall you.
  • 00:22:43.605 --> 00:22:47.008
  • With long life will i satisfy you.
  • 00:22:47.008 --> 00:22:49.978
  • Happy is the man who finds wisdom."
  • 00:22:49.978 --> 00:22:51.546
  • Let your friend all run the rat race.
  • 00:22:51.546 --> 00:22:53.748
  • You win the race, number one rat.
  • 00:22:53.748 --> 00:22:56.418
  • Don't get into the rat race.
  • 00:22:56.418 --> 00:22:58.787
  • Let god bring you to where he wants you to be
  • 00:22:58.787 --> 00:23:02.324
  • And his supply will be there.
