- Your mind.

- 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.
- 00:23:02.324 --> 00:23:04.426

- In the name of the lord jesus christ,
- 00:23:40.595 --> 00:23:43.064
- May you and your families be
- 00:23:43.064 --> 00:23:45.066
- In the secret place of the most high;
- 00:23:45.066 --> 00:23:47.903
- Under the shadow, the protection,
- 00:23:47.903 --> 00:23:50.305
- The shelter of the most high.
- 00:23:50.305 --> 00:23:53.708
- A thousand falls at your side, ten thousand at your right hand.
- 00:23:53.708 --> 00:23:56.545
- It will not come near you.
- 00:23:56.545 --> 00:23:58.313
- Whatever comes this year, it will not come near you.
- 00:23:58.313 --> 00:24:04.352
- In the name of jesus, the lord lift up his face on you,
- 00:24:04.352 --> 00:24:08.156
- His smile on you, grant to you and yours
- 00:24:08.156 --> 00:24:12.961
- Throughout this year peace in jesus's name, amen.
- 00:24:12.961 --> 00:24:20.201
- God bless you!
- 00:24:20.201 --> 00:24:21.603
- Male announcer: we live in a world
- 00:24:22.637 --> 00:24:23.972
- That moves faster than ever.
- 00:24:23.972 --> 00:24:25.907
- Headlines change by the hour. values shift.
- 00:24:25.907 --> 00:24:29.844
- Truth feels negotiable.
- 00:24:29.844 --> 00:24:32.314
- What was certain yesterday is no longer clear today.
- 00:24:32.314 --> 00:24:36.818
- But through all the noise and the shaking,
- 00:24:36.818 --> 00:24:39.754
- There is one who is still the same.
- 00:24:39.754 --> 00:24:43.325
- In the chaos, he is still the calm.
