- With today's program.
- 00:01:38.740 --> 00:01:40.075
- Joseph prince: i wanna talk to you,
- 00:01:40.075 --> 00:01:41.410
- I wanna share with you about your night seasons.
- 00:01:41.410 --> 00:01:44.513
- There are many who are going through a night season.
- 00:01:44.513 --> 00:01:47.983
- And you know something?
- 00:01:47.983 --> 00:01:49.418
- We will all go through it.
- 00:01:49.418 --> 00:01:51.286
- This is not a prophecy, this is just something that--
- 00:01:51.286 --> 00:01:54.389
- It's life, amen, as long as you're on this side of heaven.
- 00:01:54.389 --> 00:01:57.893
- One day, the bible says in revelations 22,
- 00:01:57.893 --> 00:02:02.331
- There'll be no more night in heaven.
- 00:02:02.331 --> 00:02:05.033
- But perhaps you're going through a dark season.
- 00:02:05.033 --> 00:02:07.069
- Perhaps you're going through a depressed time.
- 00:02:07.069 --> 00:02:11.873
- Perhaps you're going through a time
- 00:02:11.873 --> 00:02:13.609
- That you don't understand god even, amen?
- 00:02:13.609 --> 00:02:19.448
- You know, the lord knows what you're going through.
- 00:02:19.448 --> 00:02:22.718
- More than anybody else, he knows exactly
- 00:02:22.718 --> 00:02:25.354
- What you're going through.
- 00:02:25.354 --> 00:02:27.055
- And i just wanna show you that in the bible,
- 00:02:27.055 --> 00:02:29.658
- The bible talks a lot about night scenes,
- 00:02:29.658 --> 00:02:35.030
- Night events, night seasons.
- 00:02:35.030 --> 00:02:40.435
- In psalms 16, the bible tells us david says,
- 00:02:40.435 --> 00:02:44.973
- "i'll bless the lord who has given me counsel;
- 00:02:44.973 --> 00:02:47.676
- My heart also instructs me in the night seasons."
- 00:02:47.676 --> 00:02:52.381
- If you're going through a night season--
- 00:02:52.381 --> 00:02:53.715
- If not, just remember this word that is coming forth
- 00:02:53.715 --> 00:02:58.253
- Because all of us will go through a night season,
- 00:02:58.253 --> 00:03:00.922
- We need to know what to do during that time, amen?
- 00:03:00.922 --> 00:03:04.326
- We need to know--understand what the lord is after
- 00:03:04.326 --> 00:03:06.995
- Because he's not the one--
- 00:03:06.995 --> 00:03:08.463
- Many a times when we go through a night season,
- 00:03:08.463 --> 00:03:10.866
- A few people--a few persons might be involved.
- 00:03:10.866 --> 00:03:14.870
- Number one is you.
- 00:03:14.870 --> 00:03:17.339
- You got yourself into that mess. amen?
- 00:03:17.339 --> 00:03:21.043
- Sometimes we ourself are the problem.
- 00:03:21.043 --> 00:03:23.445
- Number two, it could be the devil,
- 00:03:23.445 --> 00:03:24.946
- And most of the time this is the reason
- 00:03:24.946 --> 00:03:28.083
- Why there's no more night in heaven
- 00:03:28.083 --> 00:03:30.485
- Because there's no more devil.
- 00:03:30.485 --> 00:03:32.487
- We are in a spiritual warfare.
- 00:03:32.487 --> 00:03:34.656
- Let me tell you this. we are in a spiritual warfare.
- 00:03:34.656 --> 00:03:37.059
- So david even went through a night season.
- 00:03:37.059 --> 00:03:39.461
- And during the night season, the bible says this.
- 00:03:39.461 --> 00:03:41.263
- You all know this: "joy cometh in the morning," right?
- 00:03:41.263 --> 00:03:44.266
- But before that, what does it say?
- 00:03:44.266 --> 00:03:45.600
- Weeping may endure for a night.
- 00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:47.402
- Psalms 50, "weeping may endure for a night."
- 00:03:47.402 --> 00:03:51.473
- It lasts only-- it endures only for a night.
- 00:03:51.473 --> 00:03:54.309
- So the night season is a season of trial.
- 00:03:54.309 --> 00:03:56.678
- It's a season where you are weeping,
- 00:03:56.678 --> 00:03:59.548
- Where it's not pleasant, you're wondering
- 00:03:59.548 --> 00:04:01.883
- What's going on, but god says morning is coming, amen.
- 00:04:01.883 --> 00:04:07.756
- Morning is coming.
- 00:04:07.756 --> 00:04:09.491
- And with the morning, you know who comes
- 00:04:09.491 --> 00:04:11.093
- In that morning?
- 00:04:11.093 --> 00:04:12.427
- Joy.
- 00:04:12.427 --> 00:04:13.762
- Here the word joy comes, it's like a person.
- 00:04:13.762 --> 00:04:17.566
- The person of joy is our lord jesus.
- 00:04:17.566 --> 00:04:20.902
- He comes in the morning.
- 00:04:20.902 --> 00:04:22.237
- Now, there are seasons of visitation.
- 00:04:22.237 --> 00:04:23.972
- Now, many of us, we-- we in the word of faith,
- 00:04:23.972 --> 00:04:26.041
- We say that the lord never leaves us
- 00:04:26.041 --> 00:04:27.576
- Nor forsakes us, but let me tell you this.
- 00:04:27.576 --> 00:04:29.478
- There are seasons of visitation.
- 00:04:29.478 --> 00:04:31.847
- Even in the song of songs, the lord will come
- 00:04:31.847 --> 00:04:34.082
- And ask for a time of fellowship with that--his bride.
- 00:04:34.082 --> 00:04:37.152
- The lord loves us. we are his bride.
- 00:04:37.152 --> 00:04:39.988
- So there are seasons whereby the lord comes.
- 00:04:39.988 --> 00:04:42.424
- He wants to fellowship. you all know those seasons.
- 00:04:42.424 --> 00:04:44.025
- Come on. how many can say, "amen"?
- 00:04:44.025 --> 00:04:45.694
- It's like a drawing. you want to read the word.
- 00:04:45.694 --> 00:04:47.195
- You want to read the word, but the sports game is too fun.
- 00:04:47.195 --> 00:04:49.931
- I mean, it's too wonderful.
- 00:04:49.931 --> 00:04:51.266
- It's like--you feel a call. you feel a call.
- 00:04:51.266 --> 00:04:53.802
- I mean, you can tivo it, you can record it
- 00:04:53.802 --> 00:04:56.138
- If you want, but, "no, i just wanna watch it now."
- 00:04:56.138 --> 00:04:59.107
- Amen? but you know something?
- 00:04:59.107 --> 00:05:00.809
- If you open up the bible, it will jump out at you.
- 00:05:00.809 --> 00:05:03.545
- Those are the seasons when you are yoked
- 00:05:03.545 --> 00:05:05.781
- With an older ox.
- 00:05:05.781 --> 00:05:07.182
- Jesus says, "take my yoke upon you."
- 00:05:07.182 --> 00:05:08.850
- By the way, the yoke that jesus gives
- 00:05:08.850 --> 00:05:11.153
- Is easy, and its burden is light.
- 00:05:11.153 --> 00:05:14.856
- So in those days, what they do is
- 00:05:14.856 --> 00:05:16.191
- That they would yoke an experienced ox
- 00:05:16.191 --> 00:05:18.727
- With a younger ox.
- 00:05:18.727 --> 00:05:20.061
- You know what's a yoke, right?
- 00:05:20.061 --> 00:05:21.730
- You know, the ox cart, bullock cart?
- 00:05:21.730 --> 00:05:23.732
- When an ox that's experienced turn right, the younger one
- 00:05:23.732 --> 00:05:27.102
- Better follow or else he'll have a sore neck, right?
- 00:05:27.102 --> 00:05:33.608
- When he turns left, he better follow.
- 00:05:33.608 --> 00:05:35.744
- When he moves, you move.
- 00:05:35.744 --> 00:05:38.013
- When he stops, you stop.
- 00:05:38.013 --> 00:05:39.414
- Even when he rests, you gotta learn to rest.
- 00:05:39.414 --> 00:05:41.850
- When he's not doing anything, don't do nothing, amen?
- 00:05:41.850 --> 00:05:45.320
- When he drinks, you drink because if you don't--
- 00:05:45.320 --> 00:05:49.124
- "i don't feel like drinking right now."
- 00:05:49.124 --> 00:05:50.625
- Then later on you wanna drink, there's no fresh word.
- 00:05:50.625 --> 00:05:54.529
- There's no refreshing.
- 00:05:54.529 --> 00:05:56.431
- So when the lord speaks to you, respond.
- 00:05:56.431 --> 00:05:58.900
- You are people that are tithing like--
- 00:05:58.900 --> 00:06:00.502
- Where abraham was, he received communion.
- 00:06:00.502 --> 00:06:03.171
- He tithed as love, as thanksgiving to the lord,
- 00:06:03.171 --> 00:06:06.708
- And then--you should think that he's in good place, right?
- 00:06:06.708 --> 00:06:10.312
- The very next chapter, it says, "after these things--"
- 00:06:10.312 --> 00:06:13.181
- And chapter 15, verse 1 comes after chap--
- 00:06:13.181 --> 00:06:15.951
- Genesis 14, which is where melchizedek met him.
- 00:06:15.951 --> 00:06:19.254
- He has partaken of the lord's supper.
- 00:06:19.254 --> 00:06:21.256
- He has responded to the lord.
- 00:06:21.256 --> 00:06:22.657
- The lord has spoken the words that he's blessed.
- 00:06:22.657 --> 00:06:26.728
- "blessed be abram of the most high god."
- 00:06:26.728 --> 00:06:28.630
- He's in a very good place, and the lord says,
- 00:06:28.630 --> 00:06:31.800
- "after these things the word of the lord came
- 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.301
- To abram in a vision, saying, 'do not be afraid, abraham.
- 00:06:33.301 --> 00:06:37.339
- I am your shield.'"
- 00:06:37.339 --> 00:06:39.407
- It said a vision.
- 00:06:39.407 --> 00:06:40.742
- That means it's a vision of a shield.
- 00:06:40.742 --> 00:06:42.110
- Magen in hebrew.
- 00:06:42.110 --> 00:06:44.746
- Magen, magen is like a shield.
- 00:06:44.746 --> 00:06:46.448
- And it's not just a shield,
- 00:06:46.448 --> 00:06:47.782
- Like a roman soldier has a shield in front,
- 00:06:47.782 --> 00:06:49.885
- It's a shield that is all around.
- 00:06:49.885 --> 00:06:52.721
- It's a shield that's all around.
- 00:06:52.721 --> 00:06:54.322
- "i am your shield and your exceedingly great reward."
- 00:06:54.322 --> 00:06:59.628
- This hebrew word, your exceedingly great reward,
- 00:06:59.628 --> 00:07:03.732
- Is the word--reward here is the word they used
- 00:07:03.732 --> 00:07:05.867
- For salary, amen.
- 00:07:05.867 --> 00:07:11.072
- Now, we know that he has just tithed, right?
- 00:07:11.072 --> 00:07:14.543
- So i'm not just saying that it's because of the tithe.
- 00:07:14.543 --> 00:07:16.645
- I'm not saying that.
- 00:07:16.645 --> 00:07:17.979
- But what i'm saying is that the lord
- 00:07:17.979 --> 00:07:19.447
- Wants his eyes to be opened to two things.
- 00:07:19.447 --> 00:07:21.449
- Number one, don't be afraid.
- 00:07:21.449 --> 00:07:23.919
- Now, why would abraham be afraid
- 00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:25.253
- After a great mountaintop experience?
- 00:07:25.253 --> 00:07:27.956
- Why should he be afraid?
- 00:07:27.956 --> 00:07:29.291
- Well, he just conquered four generals and their armies.
- 00:07:29.291 --> 00:07:35.330
- Come on.
- 00:07:35.330 --> 00:07:36.765
- He got back not just lot, a lot of spoils,
- 00:07:36.765 --> 00:07:43.004
- And the victory was given to him by the lord.
- 00:07:43.004 --> 00:07:46.274
- Now he's thinking maybe-- you know, how many of you
- 00:07:46.274 --> 00:07:47.909
- Have moments whereby,
- 00:07:47.909 --> 00:07:49.377
- You know, you're praying for the sick
- 00:07:49.377 --> 00:07:50.712
- And great things happen and wonderful things happen
- 00:07:50.712 --> 00:07:52.914
- And, bang, all of a sudden, you know,
- 00:07:52.914 --> 00:07:56.217
- In the middle of the night you start thinking to yourself,
- 00:07:56.217 --> 00:07:58.353
- "whoa, what if the devil counterattacks
- 00:07:58.353 --> 00:08:02.924
- And i've served the lord?
- 00:08:02.924 --> 00:08:04.259
- What if? what if?"
- 00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:06.261
- Come on.
- 00:08:06.261 --> 00:08:08.263
- Have you been there before?
- 00:08:08.263 --> 00:08:09.898
- So probably abraham was tossing and turning
- 00:08:09.898 --> 00:08:11.766
- Thinking the enemies are coming, the generals are coming.
- 00:08:11.766 --> 00:08:15.337
- "what am i gonna do?"
- 00:08:15.337 --> 00:08:17.038
- And that's why the word-- the first word
- 00:08:17.038 --> 00:08:18.373
- Is don't be afraid.
- 00:08:18.373 --> 00:08:21.076
- Al tira, avram.
- 00:08:21.076 --> 00:08:23.244
- Al tira in hebrew.
- 00:08:23.244 --> 00:08:24.980
- Don't be afraid.
- 00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:26.615
- And the word came to him in a vision form.
- 00:08:26.615 --> 00:08:29.217
- It's a shield.
- 00:08:29.217 --> 00:08:32.287
- See yourself surrounded with a shield.
- 00:08:32.287 --> 00:08:34.756
- At night when you're under attack,
- 00:08:34.756 --> 00:08:37.592
- You can't sleep, see yourself safe,
- 00:08:37.592 --> 00:08:41.029
- See yourself surrounded by a shield.
- 00:08:41.029 --> 00:08:44.733
- Now, when i talk about night here,
- 00:08:44.733 --> 00:08:46.067
- I'm not just referring to the night seasons alone.
- 00:08:46.067 --> 00:08:48.503
- It can be your night.
- 00:08:48.503 --> 00:08:49.838
- Literally, your-- the greatest problem you have,
- 00:08:49.838 --> 00:08:51.373
- The greatest challenges are at night.
- 00:08:51.373 --> 00:08:54.109
- Maybe you can't sleep well.
- 00:08:54.109 --> 00:08:57.278
- This message is for you.
- 00:08:57.278 --> 00:08:58.913
- "what is happening?
- 00:08:58.913 --> 00:09:01.716
- Why nighttime is so severe for me?
- 00:09:01.716 --> 00:09:04.352
- Why is it so depressive?
- 00:09:04.352 --> 00:09:06.054
- Why is it so hard for me to sleep?"
- 00:09:06.054 --> 00:09:08.423
- That's for you as well, literally your own night.
- 00:09:08.423 --> 00:09:11.092
- So in the night seasons, we gotta know that god is--
- 00:09:11.092 --> 00:09:14.329
- Also, the devil is active,
- 00:09:14.329 --> 00:09:16.064
- But god is even more during that time
- 00:09:16.064 --> 00:09:18.566
- Wanting to turn the whole thing around into your favor.
- 00:09:18.566 --> 00:09:23.238
- The devil may roar in the night season,
- 00:09:23.238 --> 00:09:25.740
- And he roars really loud.
- 00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:27.075
- How many realize that at night you can hear him roar very loud?
- 00:09:27.075 --> 00:09:30.945
- It seems like all the accusations
- 00:09:30.945 --> 00:09:32.747
- Multiply 100 times at night.
- 00:09:32.747 --> 00:09:36.117
- Have you--am i the only one? the daytime is okay.
- 00:09:36.117 --> 00:09:39.554
- I mean, you hear the roar, but it's like a cat's meow,
- 00:09:39.554 --> 00:09:43.058
- You know, but it still irritates you.
- 00:09:43.058 --> 00:09:46.127
- But at night when everyone is asleep, wow.
- 00:09:46.127 --> 00:09:50.398
- Even doctors tell us that when our child is sick,
- 00:09:50.398 --> 00:09:53.401
- You still remember that, they have fever,
- 00:09:53.401 --> 00:09:54.836
- The worst time is always at night.
- 00:09:54.836 --> 00:09:56.971
- It seems like in the morning it's more tolerable.
- 00:09:56.971 --> 00:09:59.107
- Am i right, parents?
- 00:09:59.107 --> 00:10:01.443
- Now, i know there's a physiological explanation.
- 00:10:01.443 --> 00:10:03.445
- The body is still. there's inflammation.
- 00:10:03.445 --> 00:10:05.480
- You need to move around. i understand that.
- 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.348
- But there's also a meaning behind this,
- 00:10:07.348 --> 00:10:08.983
- That things are worse, negatively, in the night season.
- 00:10:08.983 --> 00:10:16.157
- Even the devil's accusation becomes loud.
- 00:10:16.157 --> 00:10:18.526
- So we need to know what the bible teaches us
- 00:10:18.526 --> 00:10:19.928
- About the night seasons, what god is after.
- 00:10:19.928 --> 00:10:23.064
- Remember there was a hero of faith, daniel.
- 00:10:23.064 --> 00:10:26.768
- Because he stood up for the lord, he was
- 00:10:26.768 --> 00:10:28.436
- Thrown into the lions's den.
- 00:10:28.436 --> 00:10:33.108
- Because of his obedience to god, he was thrown--
- 00:10:33.108 --> 00:10:35.510
- Daniel was thrown into the lions's den.
- 00:10:35.510 --> 00:10:37.212
- So even men of god like abraham have night seasons,
- 00:10:37.212 --> 00:10:40.081
- Night fears, night terror, but praise god for the vision.
- 00:10:40.081 --> 00:10:48.423
- I want to leave you with this vision, amen.
- 00:10:48.423 --> 00:10:51.426
- So even daniel--sometimes you do right, you find yourself
- 00:10:51.426 --> 00:10:54.329
- In the lions's den, and we know the lion
- 00:10:54.329 --> 00:10:57.031
- Is a picture of the enemy, amen?
- 00:10:57.031 --> 00:11:00.668
- So once you are there, what do you do?
- 00:11:00.668 --> 00:11:02.237
- This is what the bible says.
- 00:11:02.237 --> 00:11:03.571
- Let's get right to what god is doing.
- 00:11:03.571 --> 00:11:05.140
- "so daniel was taken out of the den,
- 00:11:05.140 --> 00:11:07.375
- And no injury whatever was found on him."
- 00:11:07.375 --> 00:11:10.645
- You know why?
- 00:11:10.645 --> 00:11:11.980
- "because he believed in his god."
- 00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:15.183
- Underline that. he believed in his god.
- 00:11:15.183 --> 00:11:18.720
- So even when you're going through a night season,
- 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.188
- You don't understand what's happening, believe.
- 00:11:20.188 --> 00:11:24.025
- There's nothing for you to do but believe.
- 00:11:24.025 --> 00:11:27.328
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:11:27.328 --> 00:11:29.731
- By the way, when abraham was tossing and turning
- 00:11:29.731 --> 00:11:31.900
- And the lord gave him that vision of the shield
- 00:11:31.900 --> 00:11:34.002
- In genesis 15, later on god says, "come out.
- 00:11:34.002 --> 00:11:36.838
- Look at the stars, if you're able to--"
- 00:11:36.838 --> 00:11:38.973
- Your english bible says number the stars.
- 00:11:38.973 --> 00:11:41.409
- In the hebrew, it's saphar.
- 00:11:41.409 --> 00:11:42.944
- Saphar is the same word used, the heavens declare,
- 00:11:42.944 --> 00:11:45.780
- Saphar the glory of god, tell the story.
- 00:11:45.780 --> 00:11:50.518
- So god wrote the story-- before there was a bible,
- 00:11:50.518 --> 00:11:52.620
- God wrote it in the stars.
- 00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:54.055
- The heavens declared the glory of god,
- 00:11:54.055 --> 00:11:55.824
- And god told abraham, "abraham, come out here," amen.
- 00:11:55.824 --> 00:11:58.860
- Sometimes to bring you out of your little troubles
- 00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:00.728
- That you look and you get so obsessed with,
- 00:12:00.728 --> 00:12:03.064
- God has to give you a larger vision, amen?
- 00:12:03.064 --> 00:12:06.935
- And that's what happens when you read the bible
- 00:12:06.935 --> 00:12:09.037
- And you hear anointed sermons.
- 00:12:09.037 --> 00:12:10.905
- Amen? you fill yourself with that.
- 00:12:10.905 --> 00:12:12.740
- Even you have to wake up and listen, do it.
- 00:12:12.740 --> 00:12:16.311
- Fill your heart with a greater vision,
- 00:12:16.311 --> 00:12:17.645
- And he--god says, "look at the stars,
- 00:12:17.645 --> 00:12:19.113
- See if you're able to saphar them."
- 00:12:19.113 --> 00:12:21.883
- Number them is seek and tell the story,
- 00:12:21.883 --> 00:12:24.586
- Recount the story.
- 00:12:24.586 --> 00:12:25.954
- So abraham started recounting the story and came to the--
- 00:12:25.954 --> 00:12:30.158
- How, you know, the virgin will have this son,
- 00:12:30.158 --> 00:12:33.461
- And this son is the dragon slayer, amen?
- 00:12:33.461 --> 00:12:36.598
- He is the one that will destroy the dragon.
- 00:12:36.598 --> 00:12:38.967
- Hallelujah. amen?
- 00:12:38.967 --> 00:12:40.935
- And all the way to the lion, where he'll come conquering.
- 00:12:40.935 --> 00:12:43.471
- He's no more a baby.
- 00:12:43.471 --> 00:12:44.806
- He comes conquering as king of kings
- 00:12:44.806 --> 00:12:46.407
- And lord of lords.
- 00:12:46.407 --> 00:12:47.942
- And abraham's eyes were filled with tears,
- 00:12:47.942 --> 00:12:49.878
- And god says, "you know that son that you see up there?
- 00:12:49.878 --> 00:12:52.547
- That's your seed.
- 00:12:52.547 --> 00:12:54.449
- It will come from you.
- 00:12:54.449 --> 00:12:55.884
- So shall your seed be."
- 00:12:55.884 --> 00:12:58.753
- And the bible says abraham believed god,
- 00:12:58.753 --> 00:13:00.588
- And he was justified.
- 00:13:00.588 --> 00:13:02.156
- He was the first man that's recorded for us
- 00:13:02.156 --> 00:13:04.325
- Justified by faith.
- 00:13:04.325 --> 00:13:05.827
- He was justified when?
- 00:13:05.827 --> 00:13:07.328
- In the night.
- 00:13:07.328 --> 00:13:10.098
- He was justified in the night, in the night.
- 00:13:10.098 --> 00:13:14.335
- Solomon, he received wisdom when he was awake?
- 00:13:14.335 --> 00:13:22.310
- Think about it. we ask god for wisdom, right?
- 00:13:22.310 --> 00:13:25.647
- "god give me wisdom."
- 00:13:25.647 --> 00:13:27.215
- Even david said just now, "you instruct me
- 00:13:27.215 --> 00:13:29.517
- In the night seasons."
- 00:13:29.517 --> 00:13:31.819
- It's the best time of teaching.
- 00:13:31.819 --> 00:13:33.788
- Some of my best sermons actually came out from nighttime
- 00:13:33.788 --> 00:13:36.424
- When i can't sleep thanks to you.
- 00:13:36.424 --> 00:13:42.764
- What do you do when you can't sleep?
- 00:13:42.764 --> 00:13:44.098
- Meditate.
- 00:13:44.098 --> 00:13:45.433
- If the devil wants to keep you awake, meditate.
- 00:13:45.433 --> 00:13:47.702
- Take advantage of that moment to meditate on things
- 00:13:47.702 --> 00:13:49.470
- I've been wanting to meditate.
- 00:13:49.470 --> 00:13:50.805
- It's time to chew the cud.
- 00:13:50.805 --> 00:13:52.440
- Like the sheep, you know, like the cow,
- 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.743
- After they are well fed, they sit down there, they chew.
- 00:13:55.743 --> 00:13:58.246
- "what have i learned?
- 00:13:58.246 --> 00:13:59.580
- This verse that spoke to me just now, it's time for me
- 00:13:59.580 --> 00:14:01.182
- To masticate it, meditate on it," amen.
- 00:14:01.182 --> 00:14:04.352
- Meditate on it.
- 00:14:04.352 --> 00:14:05.887
- And how many times i've done that, fall asleep.
- 00:14:05.887 --> 00:14:08.189
- Next thing you know, it's morning.
- 00:14:08.189 --> 00:14:09.657
- Meditate.
- 00:14:09.657 --> 00:14:10.992
- So solomon above everything else he asked god for wisdom.
- 00:14:10.992 --> 00:14:15.063
- "give me a hearing heart."
- 00:14:15.063 --> 00:14:18.032
- He asked god for wisdom, and god lo--you know,
- 00:14:18.032 --> 00:14:20.301
- God loves it.
- 00:14:20.301 --> 00:14:21.636
- Solomon asked god for wisdom in a dream,
- 00:14:21.636 --> 00:14:23.404
- And he received in a dream.
- 00:14:23.404 --> 00:14:25.573
- I said he received in a dream.
- 00:14:25.573 --> 00:14:28.076
- And it was solomon who wrote psalms 127.
- 00:14:28.076 --> 00:14:30.845
- Most of the psalms are written by david,
- 00:14:30.845 --> 00:14:32.647
- But this one was written by solomon,
- 00:14:32.647 --> 00:14:34.248
- And solomon says, "it's vain for you to rise up early,
- 00:14:34.248 --> 00:14:37.385
- To sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows."
- 00:14:37.385 --> 00:14:41.422
- Now, it's okay to rise up early.
- 00:14:41.422 --> 00:14:42.924
- Nothing wrong with that, per se.
- 00:14:42.924 --> 00:14:44.292
- Nothing wrong with sitting up late.
- 00:14:44.292 --> 00:14:45.793
- But if you are rising up early because you are worrying,
- 00:14:45.793 --> 00:14:48.396
- You're eating the bread of sorrows.
- 00:14:48.396 --> 00:14:50.431
- During the night, you're eating the bread of sorrows
- 00:14:50.431 --> 00:14:52.467
- So you wake up early,
- 00:14:52.467 --> 00:14:54.202
- Or you are sitting up late because you're worried.
- 00:14:54.202 --> 00:14:57.872
- Bread of sorrows is a picture of worry.
- 00:14:57.872 --> 00:15:00.108
- It's a hebraism for worry and anxiety.
- 00:15:00.108 --> 00:15:02.677
- Eating and worry. eating anxiety.
- 00:15:02.677 --> 00:15:05.213
- That's your bread for the night, and the bible says it's vain.
- 00:15:05.213 --> 00:15:09.384
- It's empty. it won't accomplish anything.
- 00:15:09.384 --> 00:15:11.753
- Your problem will remain the same.
- 00:15:11.753 --> 00:15:14.255
- In fact, you become worse, right?
- 00:15:14.255 --> 00:15:16.991
- Your spirit, your attitude is now depressed
- 00:15:16.991 --> 00:15:21.329
- In a way that--you know, had you had the right perspective,
- 00:15:21.329 --> 00:15:24.599
- Your problem might still be there,
- 00:15:24.599 --> 00:15:25.933
- But your spirit is changed.
- 00:15:25.933 --> 00:15:28.369
- Many a time god change you as a spirit
- 00:15:28.369 --> 00:15:29.704
- Before he change your outside.
- 00:15:29.704 --> 00:15:32.040
- That's why you prosper and be in health,
- 00:15:32.040 --> 00:15:33.808
- Even as your soul prospers.
- 00:15:33.808 --> 00:15:36.577
- So as a soul prospers-- he prospers your soul first
- 00:15:36.577 --> 00:15:39.080
- And then your outside will follow.
- 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.548
- Your health will follow.
- 00:15:40.548 --> 00:15:42.817
- Amen?
- 00:15:42.817 --> 00:15:44.652
- But it's vain to sit up late worrying, rise up early
- 00:15:44.652 --> 00:15:50.358
- Because you're worried,
- 00:15:50.358 --> 00:15:51.859
- To eat the bread of sorrows. why?
- 00:15:51.859 --> 00:15:54.195
- For so god gives his beloved-- and this word here
- 00:15:54.195 --> 00:15:57.265
- Is yedida, all right?
- 00:15:57.265 --> 00:16:00.101
- You put a name yah there, yedid.
- 00:16:00.101 --> 00:16:02.136
- Yedid is beloved, and he's putting his name here.
- 00:16:02.136 --> 00:16:05.373
- Do you know another name of solomon?
- 00:16:05.373 --> 00:16:06.941
- It's actually jedidiah.
- 00:16:06.941 --> 00:16:09.243
- Jedidiah is yedida.
- 00:16:09.243 --> 00:16:12.180
- Yedidiah, the--god's beloved, yahweh's beloved.
- 00:16:12.180 --> 00:16:15.950
- Isn't that-- what a beautiful expression,
- 00:16:15.950 --> 00:16:17.285
- Isn't it?
- 00:16:17.285 --> 00:16:18.619
- His father is david.
- 00:16:18.619 --> 00:16:19.954
- From the same expression, same etymology,
- 00:16:19.954 --> 00:16:22.156
- David is beloved.
- 00:16:22.156 --> 00:16:23.624
- It takes a david to knock down a goliath.
- 00:16:23.624 --> 00:16:26.327
- It takes someone who knows his beloved
- 00:16:26.327 --> 00:16:27.795
- To knock down the enemy, amen, to win in the fight of war.
- 00:16:27.795 --> 00:16:30.531
- Amen?
- 00:16:30.531 --> 00:16:31.866
- Having a different spirit from all israel,
- 00:16:31.866 --> 00:16:33.201
- They were intimidated.
- 00:16:33.201 --> 00:16:34.535
- It takes someone who is-- who knows his beloved.
- 00:16:34.535 --> 00:16:36.270
- Now, his son, his other name is jedidiah.
- 00:16:36.270 --> 00:16:41.075
- Amen, in fact, the lord called him jedidiah,
- 00:16:41.075 --> 00:16:43.444
- Which means beloved of the lord.
- 00:16:43.444 --> 00:16:45.379
- So here the name is there. he gives his beloved sleep.
- 00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:48.116
- Now, i was very fascinated by this because some years ago
- 00:16:48.116 --> 00:16:52.320
- I meditated on this and i tried to get a--
- 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.021
- So i studied on this verse a lot
- 00:16:54.021 --> 00:16:55.656
- Because i just wanna-- for my own sake,
- 00:16:55.656 --> 00:16:58.126
- I have trouble sleeping as well during that time
- 00:16:58.126 --> 00:17:00.761
- And i just wanna study this.
- 00:17:00.761 --> 00:17:02.130
- But when i studied this, i went to delitzsch,
- 00:17:02.130 --> 00:17:04.098
- Who is a hebrew scholar, and all those
- 00:17:04.098 --> 00:17:06.100
- Different hebrew helps and all that and i found out
- 00:17:06.100 --> 00:17:09.871
- That the jewish people, they themselves
- 00:17:09.871 --> 00:17:12.306
- Were arguing among themselves.
- 00:17:12.306 --> 00:17:15.376
- It seems like the last line here is ambiguous.
- 00:17:15.376 --> 00:17:18.379
- In other words, it can be interpreted two ways.
- 00:17:18.379 --> 00:17:22.083
- One is that god gives the beloved--
- 00:17:22.083 --> 00:17:24.385
- His beloved sleep, and a lot of rabbis argue
- 00:17:24.385 --> 00:17:27.588
- That this is the interpretation.
- 00:17:27.588 --> 00:17:29.657
- But then another group of rabbis says no, it is saying
- 00:17:29.657 --> 00:17:32.193
- That while you are sleeping, god is giving,
- 00:17:32.193 --> 00:17:37.865
- Even to his beloved.
- 00:17:37.865 --> 00:17:40.301
- So hence you have this new king james version
- 00:17:40.301 --> 00:17:42.970
- And the king james version, then you have the nasb,
- 00:17:42.970 --> 00:17:45.773
- New american standard bible, that gives this.
- 00:17:45.773 --> 00:17:47.642
- Look at the last line.
- 00:17:47.642 --> 00:17:48.976
- "for he gives to his beloved even in his sleep."
- 00:17:48.976 --> 00:17:55.616
- So because it's ambiguous and--maybe it's meant
- 00:17:55.616 --> 00:17:58.052
- To be ambiguous because the answer is both.
- 00:17:58.052 --> 00:18:02.089
- God gives his beloved sleep, but then while he's sleeping,
- 00:18:02.089 --> 00:18:06.360
- God gives to him while he's sleeping.
- 00:18:06.360 --> 00:18:09.530
- In fact, god can move when man is not.
- 00:18:09.530 --> 00:18:14.368
- Did you get that?
- 00:18:14.368 --> 00:18:15.736
- Maybe god can move even more when--
- 00:18:15.736 --> 00:18:18.206
- And the bible says in job, in the night season,
- 00:18:18.206 --> 00:18:21.642
- In the deep sleep, in the slumberings upon men,
- 00:18:21.642 --> 00:18:24.946
- God awakens his ear.
- 00:18:24.946 --> 00:18:26.414
- God speaks once, twice, why?
- 00:18:26.414 --> 00:18:28.749
- To hide pride from men.
- 00:18:28.749 --> 00:18:31.886
- Man is so proud the only time god can speak to him
- 00:18:31.886 --> 00:18:35.022
- Is when he's sleeping, amen?
- 00:18:35.022 --> 00:18:40.728
- So god speaks to man while he's sleeping,
- 00:18:40.728 --> 00:18:45.900
- But also he gives us sleep.
- 00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:49.237
- So if you're having trouble with sleep and all that,
- 00:18:49.237 --> 00:18:51.372
- Number one, you need to realize
- 00:18:51.372 --> 00:18:53.474
- That there is the provision where god gives sleep.
- 00:18:53.474 --> 00:18:57.912
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:18:57.912 --> 00:19:00.014
- Ask god for it, but you need to understand
- 00:19:00.014 --> 00:19:02.416
- That god gives his beloved sleep.
- 00:19:02.416 --> 00:19:04.819
- You must have a sense that you are loved.
- 00:19:04.819 --> 00:19:07.221
- Establish that first. don't struggle with sleep.
- 00:19:07.221 --> 00:19:11.425
- Establish the fact, "i'm god's beloved."
- 00:19:11.425 --> 00:19:14.061
- After jesus multiplied the loaves and fish,
- 00:19:14.061 --> 00:19:16.097
- They collected the 12 basketful,
- 00:19:16.097 --> 00:19:18.099
- He went up the mountain
- 00:19:18.099 --> 00:19:19.433
- And he sent his disciples down to bethsaida.
- 00:19:19.433 --> 00:19:22.436
- They went into a boat while he sent the multitudes away.
- 00:19:22.436 --> 00:19:25.306
- How he did it, i don't know, but he sent the multitudes away
- 00:19:25.306 --> 00:19:29.010
- And he went up to a mountain to pray.
- 00:19:29.010 --> 00:19:30.978
- His disciples were already in the lake of galilee
- 00:19:30.978 --> 00:19:33.547
- On their way to the destination,
- 00:19:33.547 --> 00:19:35.549
- Bethsaida, and the bible says nighttime came
- 00:19:35.549 --> 00:19:40.688
- And he looked from mount arbel.
- 00:19:40.688 --> 00:19:42.757
- How many have been at mount arbel?
- 00:19:42.757 --> 00:19:44.392
- It's beautiful, isn't it?
- 00:19:44.392 --> 00:19:45.726
- He looked down at mount arbel and he saw the disciples.
- 00:19:45.726 --> 00:19:50.064
- They were rowing and rowing and rowing for the wind
- 00:19:50.064 --> 00:19:54.101
- Was contrary to them, and the more is like three--
- 00:19:54.101 --> 00:19:57.605
- You know, you say 3 feet forward,
- 00:19:57.605 --> 00:20:00.841
- 2 feet backwards, two steps backwards, right?
- 00:20:00.841 --> 00:20:03.944
- You know what i'm saying?
- 00:20:03.944 --> 00:20:05.279
- It's like every time you go forward,
- 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:06.614
- You go back even more, you go forward, you go back.
- 00:20:06.614 --> 00:20:08.582
- The wind was contrary to them,
- 00:20:08.582 --> 00:20:10.618
- And sometimes you feel like your life is like that.
- 00:20:10.618 --> 00:20:13.587
- You know, you do your best, but it seems like
- 00:20:13.587 --> 00:20:15.289
- There are forces.
- 00:20:15.289 --> 00:20:16.824
- Every wind of doctrine, and even demons
- 00:20:16.824 --> 00:20:20.027
- Are wind-like spirit, you know, and the what--there's wind.
- 00:20:20.027 --> 00:20:24.432
- They come against you and you feel like
- 00:20:24.432 --> 00:20:25.766
- There is a resistance there.
- 00:20:25.766 --> 00:20:27.802
- You can't explain it, but there's a resistance.
- 00:20:27.802 --> 00:20:29.970
- You can't reach your destination.
- 00:20:29.970 --> 00:20:32.973
- Jesus is watching. jesus is watching.
- 00:20:32.973 --> 00:20:37.945
- From mount arbel, he saw them in the middle of the sea,
- 00:20:37.945 --> 00:20:39.980
- The bible says.
- 00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:41.315
- He saw them and he saw them rowing,
- 00:20:41.315 --> 00:20:44.785
- Toiling, for the wind was contrary to them;
- 00:20:44.785 --> 00:20:49.757
- And jesus came down to where they were,
- 00:20:49.757 --> 00:20:53.361
- And he walked on the water.
- 00:20:53.361 --> 00:20:54.695
- He came down the mountain and then to the lake, right?
- 00:20:54.695 --> 00:20:56.897
- He started walking on the water,
- 00:20:56.897 --> 00:20:58.632
- Right to the deepest part.
- 00:20:58.632 --> 00:20:59.967
- They were in the middle of the sea.
- 00:20:59.967 --> 00:21:01.302
- That's where they were. he came to them.
- 00:21:01.302 --> 00:21:03.637
- And when did he come to them?
- 00:21:03.637 --> 00:21:05.439
- The holy spirit mentions this detail.
- 00:21:05.439 --> 00:21:08.008
- When did he come to them?
- 00:21:08.008 --> 00:21:09.910
- Look at this.
- 00:21:09.910 --> 00:21:11.679
- "now in the fourth watch of the night jesus went to them,
- 00:21:11.679 --> 00:21:16.450
- Walking on the sea."
- 00:21:16.450 --> 00:21:19.019
- In the fourth watch.
- 00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:20.354
- Now, the fourth watch-- look up here.
- 00:21:20.354 --> 00:21:22.723
- The jewish timings are based on watches,
- 00:21:22.723 --> 00:21:26.794
- They call it, okay?
- 00:21:26.794 --> 00:21:28.496
- There are four watches in the night.
- 00:21:28.496 --> 00:21:30.498
- 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. is the first watch facing you,
- 00:21:30.498 --> 00:21:34.368
- Okay, got it?
- 00:21:34.368 --> 00:21:37.972
- Okay?
- 00:21:37.972 --> 00:21:39.306
- 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. is the first watch.
- 00:21:39.306 --> 00:21:42.176
- 9 p.m. to midnight, second watch.
- 00:21:42.176 --> 00:21:45.846
- Midnight to 3 a.m., third watch.
- 00:21:45.846 --> 00:21:49.617
- 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. is darkest before dawn.
- 00:21:49.617 --> 00:21:55.022
- In the darkest time of your life,
- 00:21:55.022 --> 00:21:57.658
- Jesus will come to you.
- 00:21:57.658 --> 00:22:00.861
- He'll come to you in a way that you never expected.
- 00:22:00.861 --> 00:22:03.597
- They never saw him walk on the water before.
- 00:22:03.597 --> 00:22:06.567
- In fact, one gospel says they were afraid.
- 00:22:06.567 --> 00:22:09.937
- In fact, down here also they say we--drop down.
- 00:22:09.937 --> 00:22:12.072
- "and when the disciples saw him walking on the sea,
- 00:22:12.072 --> 00:22:14.308
- They were troubled, saying, 'it is a ghost!'
- 00:22:14.308 --> 00:22:17.011
- And they cried out for fear."
- 00:22:17.011 --> 00:22:18.579
- These are seasoned fishermen. amen?
- 00:22:18.579 --> 00:22:21.182
- They never saw that before.
- 00:22:21.182 --> 00:22:22.516
- They saw a figure in the dark
- 00:22:22.516 --> 00:22:23.851
- In the night season, and understand this.
- 00:22:23.851 --> 00:22:25.653
- In the night season, even when the lord
- 00:22:25.653 --> 00:22:26.987
- Reaches out to you, victory is reaching out to you,
- 00:22:26.987 --> 00:22:29.890
- Deliverance is reaching out to you.
- 00:22:29.890 --> 00:22:31.625
- Your first reaction might be you're afraid
- 00:22:31.625 --> 00:22:33.727
- Because it's not the same kind of form
- 00:22:33.727 --> 00:22:35.196
- That you're used to, but it is victory.
- 00:22:35.196 --> 00:22:38.032
- It is jesus.
- 00:22:38.032 --> 00:22:45.873
- The very thing they were afraid of,
- 00:22:45.873 --> 00:22:47.408
- He was walking on.
- 00:22:47.408 --> 00:22:51.479
- They were afraid of being under. they saw him over.
- 00:22:51.479 --> 00:22:56.617
- And jesus immediately-- when he heard their fear,
- 00:22:56.617 --> 00:23:00.588
- Immediately he said, "be of good cheer."
- 00:23:00.588 --> 00:23:04.758
- In hebrew, "ani hu."
- 00:23:04.758 --> 00:23:06.927
- I am.
- 00:23:06.927 --> 00:23:09.563
- Your english bible says, "it is i."
- 00:23:09.563 --> 00:23:11.799
- Actually, ani hu means i am.
- 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:14.635
- Does that sound familiar?
- 00:23:14.635 --> 00:23:17.238
- "i am the lord over the waves," that the psalmists talk about.
- 00:23:17.238 --> 00:23:22.743
- "the lord above your troubles.
- 00:23:22.743 --> 00:23:24.411
- The lord on high is high above all."
- 00:23:24.411 --> 00:23:27.615
- In our darkest seasons, don't be afraid.
- 00:23:27.615 --> 00:23:31.585
- Have you noticed the refrain, don't be afraid,
- 00:23:31.585 --> 00:23:32.920
- Don't be afraid?
- 00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:34.255
- He comes to you, amen.
- 00:23:34.255 --> 00:23:37.324
- There are seasons where the lord
- 00:23:37.324 --> 00:23:38.792
- Personally comes to you, amen, and it's your night season.
- 00:23:38.792 --> 00:23:43.430
