  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.886
  • Joseph prince: we need to see, observe, meditate on god's word.
  • 00:00:13.222 --> 00:00:14.289
  • Take a verse of scripture.
  • 00:00:16.458 --> 00:00:17.960
  • It might not be pertaining to your believing god
  • 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.062
  • For health or healing,
  • 00:00:20.062 --> 00:00:21.396

  • Your believing god to restore your marriage.
  • 00:00:25.167 --> 00:00:28.103
  • Whatever it is, take a verse of scripture,
  • 00:00:28.103 --> 00:00:29.872
  • Meditate on god's word, take a passage of scripture
  • 00:00:29.872 --> 00:00:32.274
  • Or take a verse and you meditate on it,
  • 00:00:32.274 --> 00:00:35.644
  • Sooner or later, you will see how to apply it.
  • 00:00:35.644 --> 00:00:40.949
  • Male announcer: tired of overthinking
  • 00:00:41.016 --> 00:00:42.351

  • 00:01:46.381 --> 00:01:49.618
  • Announcer: and now here is pastor joseph prince
  • 00:01:49.618 --> 00:01:52.020
  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:52.020 --> 00:01:53.355
  • Joseph prince: the bible says,
  • 00:01:53.355 --> 00:01:54.690
  • "happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
  • 00:01:54.690 --> 00:01:56.725
  • And the man that gets understanding," amen?
  • 00:01:56.725 --> 00:01:59.595
  • Here it says, very clearly, that the man that finds wisdom
  • 00:01:59.595 --> 00:02:03.031
  • And the man who gains understanding--
  • 00:02:03.031 --> 00:02:05.033
  • "the proceeds" of wisdom
  • 00:02:05.033 --> 00:02:06.368
  • "are better than the profits of silver,
  • 00:02:06.368 --> 00:02:08.637
  • And her gain than fine gold.
  • 00:02:08.637 --> 00:02:10.906
  • She is more precious than rubies."
  • 00:02:10.906 --> 00:02:12.708
  • This wisdom is more precious than rubies.
  • 00:02:12.708 --> 00:02:15.410
  • "and all the things you may desire
  • 00:02:15.410 --> 00:02:17.613
  • Cannot compare with her.
  • 00:02:17.613 --> 00:02:20.616
  • Length of days is in her right hand."
  • 00:02:20.616 --> 00:02:23.151
  • Now look at this: length of days is in wisdom's right hand.
  • 00:02:23.151 --> 00:02:27.155
  • And wisdom here is personified as a woman.
  • 00:02:27.155 --> 00:02:30.025
  • You embrace her.
  • 00:02:30.025 --> 00:02:31.360
  • Another place in the proverbs, it says you embrace her
  • 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:33.762
  • And you get her two hands embracing you, amen?
  • 00:02:33.762 --> 00:02:37.165
  • "and length of days is in her right hand."
  • 00:02:37.165 --> 00:02:39.001
  • Right hand is the hand of priority.
  • 00:02:39.001 --> 00:02:41.003
  • Notice that god prioritizes length of days, health, amen?
  • 00:02:41.003 --> 00:02:45.374
  • How many would say that health is a priority, amen, in life?
  • 00:02:45.374 --> 00:02:49.645
  • What's the point of having riches?
  • 00:02:49.645 --> 00:02:51.113
  • What's the point of having, you know, fame and fortune
  • 00:02:51.113 --> 00:02:54.783
  • If your body is wracked with disease, right?
  • 00:02:54.783 --> 00:02:57.185
  • So, god prioritized that-- length of days,
  • 00:02:57.185 --> 00:02:59.521
  • Which includes health, of course--
  • 00:02:59.521 --> 00:03:00.856
  • To have length of days-- is in her right hand.
  • 00:03:00.856 --> 00:03:03.492
  • "and in her left hand riches and honor.
  • 00:03:03.492 --> 00:03:07.095
  • Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
  • 00:03:07.095 --> 00:03:10.198
  • And all her paths are peace."
  • 00:03:10.198 --> 00:03:12.401
  • So, once again, wisdom gives us these five things, amen,
  • 00:03:12.401 --> 00:03:17.372
  • These five blessings that come from wisdom.
  • 00:03:17.372 --> 00:03:19.308
  • Number one, length of days. number two, riches.
  • 00:03:19.308 --> 00:03:24.279
  • Number three, honor.
  • 00:03:24.279 --> 00:03:26.882
  • Now, how many would say that these are the three things
  • 00:03:26.882 --> 00:03:29.117
  • That you will look for?
  • 00:03:29.117 --> 00:03:30.485
  • Above everything else, you want health, amen,
  • 00:03:30.485 --> 00:03:33.922
  • Long life, you want riches?
  • 00:03:33.922 --> 00:03:37.092
  • Her ways are ways of pleasantness.
  • 00:03:37.092 --> 00:03:38.927
  • Number four, it gives you a pleasant life,
  • 00:03:38.927 --> 00:03:41.196
  • A life of pleasantness.
  • 00:03:41.196 --> 00:03:42.898
  • Now, people have this idea that the christian life
  • 00:03:42.898 --> 00:03:45.200
  • Is a life that's hard, amen?
  • 00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:47.369
  • No, my bible says, "the way of the transgressors
  • 00:03:47.369 --> 00:03:50.539
  • Is hard," amen?
  • 00:03:50.539 --> 00:03:52.007
  • Jesus said it like this: "take my yoke upon you."
  • 00:03:52.007 --> 00:03:54.076
  • He says, first, "come unto me.
  • 00:03:54.076 --> 00:03:55.577
  • Give me your burdens, and take my yoke upon you," amen?
  • 00:03:55.577 --> 00:04:00.115
  • "my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
  • 00:04:00.115 --> 00:04:03.752
  • So, give me your heavy burdens, and i'll give you my burden,
  • 00:04:03.752 --> 00:04:07.189
  • Which is light," amen?
  • 00:04:07.189 --> 00:04:09.524
  • "now, give me your yoke of bondage
  • 00:04:09.524 --> 00:04:11.893
  • And take my yoke upon you, and my yoke is easy," amen?
  • 00:04:11.893 --> 00:04:17.032
  • Easy and light burden. yoke is easy, burden is light.
  • 00:04:17.032 --> 00:04:22.704
  • That's the christian life, amen. you are to live that life.
  • 00:04:22.704 --> 00:04:25.540
  • That doesn't mean that you don't have hardship outside,
  • 00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:27.809
  • You won't face troubles in your life.
  • 00:04:27.809 --> 00:04:30.145
  • But there'll be a lightness, there'll be a joy,
  • 00:04:30.145 --> 00:04:32.681
  • There'll be a peace, amen?
  • 00:04:32.681 --> 00:04:34.015
  • There'll be a flow in your life, hallelujah.
  • 00:04:34.015 --> 00:04:35.684
  • Jesus says, "i come that you might have life,
  • 00:04:35.684 --> 00:04:38.153
  • And have it more abundantly," amen?
  • 00:04:38.153 --> 00:04:40.489
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:04:40.489 --> 00:04:41.823
  • And the fifth blessing of wisdom is "all her paths are peace."
  • 00:04:41.823 --> 00:04:46.862
  • Peace, shalom, peace, well-being, peace in your mind,
  • 00:04:46.862 --> 00:04:51.366
  • Peace in your relationships, amen?
  • 00:04:51.366 --> 00:04:53.735
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:04:53.735 --> 00:04:55.070
  • And the greatest peace of all is peace with god.
  • 00:04:55.070 --> 00:04:56.405
  • "therefore, being justified by faith,
  • 00:04:56.405 --> 00:04:58.774
  • We have peace with god."
  • 00:04:58.774 --> 00:05:00.809
  • We have it, not trying to get it.
  • 00:05:00.809 --> 00:05:02.611
  • We have peace with god through our lord jesus christ,
  • 00:05:02.611 --> 00:05:06.248
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:05:06.248 --> 00:05:07.582
  • Ephesians 1, it tells us to pray to the father
  • 00:05:07.582 --> 00:05:10.585
  • Of our lord jesus christ, the father of glory,
  • 00:05:10.585 --> 00:05:13.121
  • That he may give to us "the spirit of wisdom
  • 00:05:13.121 --> 00:05:15.690
  • And revelation in the knowledge of him."
  • 00:05:15.690 --> 00:05:17.259
  • Notice it's called "the spirit of wisdom and revelation
  • 00:05:17.259 --> 00:05:20.529
  • In the knowledge of him," the greatest knowledge of all.
  • 00:05:20.529 --> 00:05:23.565
  • And how does this spirit of wisdom operate?
  • 00:05:23.565 --> 00:05:27.602
  • "the eyes of your understanding being enlightened."
  • 00:05:27.602 --> 00:05:31.873
  • One translation says, "the eyes of your heart
  • 00:05:31.873 --> 00:05:33.809
  • Being enlightened."
  • 00:05:33.809 --> 00:05:35.143
  • So, eyes of our heart. notice our heart have eyes?
  • 00:05:35.143 --> 00:05:39.481
  • We see on the inside.
  • 00:05:39.481 --> 00:05:40.882
  • That's the "chazon" vision that i'm talking about
  • 00:05:40.882 --> 00:05:43.452
  • That god wants us to walk in this year--to have--
  • 00:05:43.452 --> 00:05:47.022
  • To walk in revelation knowledge, to walk in that chazon vision.
  • 00:05:47.022 --> 00:05:50.792
  • In fact, in those days of eli and young prophet samuel,
  • 00:05:50.792 --> 00:05:55.864
  • The bible says, "there was no open vision"?
  • 00:05:55.864 --> 00:05:58.967
  • In one translation--i think it's the new king james--
  • 00:05:58.967 --> 00:06:01.369
  • It says, "there was no widespread revelation."
  • 00:06:01.369 --> 00:06:04.206
  • So, revelation, the eyes of your heart being open.
  • 00:06:04.206 --> 00:06:07.309
  • Remember adam and eve?
  • 00:06:07.309 --> 00:06:08.643
  • Their eyes--god made them complete except for one thing:
  • 00:06:08.643 --> 00:06:12.314
  • God gave them the choice to open their spiritual eyes,
  • 00:06:12.314 --> 00:06:15.450
  • The eyes of their heart,
  • 00:06:15.450 --> 00:06:16.785
  • Either by the tree of knowledge of good and evil
  • 00:06:16.785 --> 00:06:19.955
  • Or by the tree of life.
  • 00:06:19.955 --> 00:06:22.624
  • And today men are trying to open the eyes of--
  • 00:06:22.624 --> 00:06:25.026
  • Their spiritual eyes to the demonic world,
  • 00:06:25.026 --> 00:06:28.129
  • To the occult, to new age practices,
  • 00:06:28.129 --> 00:06:30.532
  • And all that.
  • 00:06:30.532 --> 00:06:31.867
  • But god wants your eyes, child of god,
  • 00:06:31.867 --> 00:06:33.201
  • To be opened by the spiri--
  • 00:06:33.201 --> 00:06:34.536
  • His holy spirit of wisdom and revelation.
  • 00:06:34.536 --> 00:06:36.771
  • Notice, he's called the spirit of wisdom and revelation.
  • 00:06:36.771 --> 00:06:39.241
  • And the way he operates in your life,
  • 00:06:39.241 --> 00:06:41.142
  • He causes the eyes of your heart to be enlightened.
  • 00:06:41.142 --> 00:06:45.013
  • And the greek word here is "photizo," amen,
  • 00:06:45.013 --> 00:06:48.817
  • The eyes of your understanding being enlightened.
  • 00:06:48.817 --> 00:06:50.752
  • Photizo, that you may know.
  • 00:06:50.752 --> 00:06:52.988
  • Once your eyes open, you know.
  • 00:06:52.988 --> 00:06:56.358
  • You know what god wants you to know.
  • 00:06:56.358 --> 00:06:57.959
  • Praise the lord, hallelujah. do you remember joshua?
  • 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.897
  • In joshua 1, verse 8, god says,
  • 00:07:01.897 --> 00:07:03.999
  • "this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth,"
  • 00:07:03.999 --> 00:07:06.668
  • God said to him.
  • 00:07:06.668 --> 00:07:08.003
  • "but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,
  • 00:07:08.003 --> 00:07:12.274
  • That you may observe to do according to all that is written
  • 00:07:12.274 --> 00:07:14.676
  • In it.
  • 00:07:14.676 --> 00:07:16.011
  • For then you will make your way prosperous,
  • 00:07:16.011 --> 00:07:17.412
  • And then you will have good success."
  • 00:07:17.412 --> 00:07:18.747
  • The bible says that joshua--
  • 00:07:18.747 --> 00:07:20.649
  • At this point, moses has just died.
  • 00:07:20.649 --> 00:07:23.218
  • And before moses died, moses laid his hands on joshua.
  • 00:07:23.218 --> 00:07:26.888
  • And joshua was full of the spirit of wisdom,
  • 00:07:26.888 --> 00:07:30.325
  • For moses had laid his hands on him."
  • 00:07:30.325 --> 00:07:32.193
  • Remember moses laid his hands on joshua?
  • 00:07:32.193 --> 00:07:34.229
  • And now when moses is dead, the bible says
  • 00:07:34.229 --> 00:07:36.431
  • Joshua was full of the spirit of wisdom, amen?
  • 00:07:36.431 --> 00:07:40.068
  • For moses laid his hands on him.
  • 00:07:40.068 --> 00:07:41.403
  • And that was the closing chapters of deuteronomy,
  • 00:07:41.403 --> 00:07:45.440
  • When that was mentioned.
  • 00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:46.942
  • The very next book is this chapter 1 of joshua.
  • 00:07:46.942 --> 00:07:51.179
  • So, we see that, even though joshua
  • 00:07:51.179 --> 00:07:53.348
  • Was full of the spirit of wisdom,
  • 00:07:53.348 --> 00:07:54.816
  • He did not neglect the bible.
  • 00:07:54.816 --> 00:07:56.751
  • He did not neglect the word of god, amen?
  • 00:07:56.751 --> 00:07:59.020
  • He opened it when god spoke to him and said,
  • 00:07:59.020 --> 00:08:01.256
  • "this book of the law"--
  • 00:08:01.256 --> 00:08:02.591
  • Obviously, he was reading it then--
  • 00:08:02.591 --> 00:08:04.192
  • "shall not depart from your mouth, joshua,
  • 00:08:04.192 --> 00:08:06.161
  • But you shall meditate therein day and night"--
  • 00:08:06.161 --> 00:08:09.965
  • Notice "day and night"--
  • 00:08:09.965 --> 00:08:11.299
  • "that you may observe to do according."
  • 00:08:11.299 --> 00:08:12.634
  • Now watch that: "may observe to do,"
  • 00:08:12.634 --> 00:08:15.003
  • "that you may observe to do."
  • 00:08:15.003 --> 00:08:16.404
  • God could have said, "you shall meditate on it day and night
  • 00:08:16.404 --> 00:08:19.841
  • That you may do all that is written therein."
  • 00:08:19.841 --> 00:08:22.877
  • No need to say "observe to do," right?
  • 00:08:22.877 --> 00:08:24.613
  • But god says here "that you may observe."
  • 00:08:24.613 --> 00:08:27.882
  • In hebrew, "shamar," observe, watch, see, watch, amen?
  • 00:08:27.882 --> 00:08:33.855
  • To do.
  • 00:08:33.855 --> 00:08:35.190
  • In other words, when you meditate on god's word,
  • 00:08:35.190 --> 00:08:36.891
  • Take a passage of scripture
  • 00:08:36.891 --> 00:08:38.560
  • Or take a verse and you meditate on it,
  • 00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:41.696
  • Sooner or later, you will see how to apply it, amen.
  • 00:08:41.696 --> 00:08:47.235
  • Then, you shall make your way prosperous.
  • 00:08:47.235 --> 00:08:50.505
  • Then, you shall have good success.
  • 00:08:50.505 --> 00:08:52.607
  • Notice, you meditate on god's word?
  • 00:08:52.607 --> 00:08:55.377
  • Actually, meditation here is the word "hagah" in hebrew,
  • 00:08:55.377 --> 00:08:59.247
  • Which is "muttering with your mouth."
  • 00:08:59.247 --> 00:09:01.249
  • I mean, the first line tells you that this book of the law
  • 00:09:01.249 --> 00:09:03.585
  • Shall not depart from your...mouth, amen, amen?
  • 00:09:03.585 --> 00:09:07.989
  • Not just from your mind.
  • 00:09:07.989 --> 00:09:09.324
  • We think of meditation only from--in the area of the mind,
  • 00:09:09.324 --> 00:09:11.793
  • But your mouth, amen?
  • 00:09:11.793 --> 00:09:13.428
  • Biblical meditation is not shutting your mouth
  • 00:09:13.428 --> 00:09:16.498
  • And just being in your mind, amen, or blanking your mind out,
  • 00:09:16.498 --> 00:09:20.735
  • All right?
  • 00:09:20.735 --> 00:09:22.070
  • It is actually filling your mouth with god's word
  • 00:09:22.070 --> 00:09:23.905
  • And thinking about what you are muttering.
  • 00:09:23.905 --> 00:09:26.107
  • Hagar means muttering, amen.
  • 00:09:26.107 --> 00:09:29.611
  • In the new testament, in 1 timothy 4, it says here,
  • 00:09:29.611 --> 00:09:32.714
  • In verse 15, "meditate upon these things;
  • 00:09:32.714 --> 00:09:36.284
  • Give thyself wholly to them;
  • 00:09:36.284 --> 00:09:38.787
  • That thy profiting may appear to all."
  • 00:09:38.787 --> 00:09:44.292
  • "meditate upon these things; give yourself wholly to them;
  • 00:09:44.292 --> 00:09:47.962
  • That thy profiting may appear to all."
  • 00:09:47.962 --> 00:09:50.198
  • The word "meditate" here is the word "meletao."
  • 00:09:50.198 --> 00:09:53.702
  • Obviously, this is the new testament,
  • 00:09:53.702 --> 00:09:55.737
  • And it's in greek.
  • 00:09:55.737 --> 00:09:57.072
  • But the reason i'm showing both verses from the old and new
  • 00:09:57.072 --> 00:10:00.375
  • Is to show you that this verse here
  • 00:10:00.375 --> 00:10:02.577
  • Is actually hebrew.
  • 00:10:02.577 --> 00:10:04.079
  • In hebrew, it will be hagah-- to mutter upon these things.
  • 00:10:04.079 --> 00:10:07.649
  • And what things are these?
  • 00:10:07.649 --> 00:10:08.983
  • The context tells you it's the word of god.
  • 00:10:08.983 --> 00:10:10.318
  • "till i come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation,
  • 00:10:10.318 --> 00:10:14.222
  • To doctrine."
  • 00:10:14.222 --> 00:10:15.557
  • The word of god, listen to preaching, listen to teaching.
  • 00:10:15.557 --> 00:10:19.294
  • "neglect not the gift that is in thee,"
  • 00:10:19.294 --> 00:10:21.663
  • Which is the gift of teaching for timothy,
  • 00:10:21.663 --> 00:10:23.998
  • Paul was telling him.
  • 00:10:23.998 --> 00:10:25.333
  • It was given to him when the elders laid hands on him,
  • 00:10:25.333 --> 00:10:28.036
  • And by prophecy.
  • 00:10:28.036 --> 00:10:29.604
  • "meditate upon these things," god's word.
  • 00:10:29.604 --> 00:10:31.539
  • "give yourself wholly to them;
  • 00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:33.408
  • That thy profiting may appear to all."
  • 00:10:33.408 --> 00:10:35.910
  • Notice that every time god's word--church, listen.
  • 00:10:35.910 --> 00:10:39.114
  • I find that every time god's word talks about meditation,
  • 00:10:39.114 --> 00:10:43.518
  • There's always a benefit.
  • 00:10:43.518 --> 00:10:45.353
  • There's always a blessing.
  • 00:10:45.353 --> 00:10:46.788
  • And in joshua 1:8, it says what? the blessing.
  • 00:10:46.788 --> 00:10:49.424
  • "for then you shall make your way prosperous."
  • 00:10:49.424 --> 00:10:52.627
  • You will make your way prosperous.
  • 00:10:52.627 --> 00:10:55.063
  • When you meditate on god's word day and night,
  • 00:10:55.063 --> 00:10:56.765
  • "you will make your way prosperous
  • 00:10:56.765 --> 00:10:59.234
  • And you shall have good success."
  • 00:10:59.234 --> 00:11:03.104
  • Well, what about psalms 1?
  • 00:11:03.104 --> 00:11:04.973
  • It says, in psalms 1,
  • 00:11:04.973 --> 00:11:06.841
  • "but his delight is in the law of the lord,
  • 00:11:06.841 --> 00:11:09.944
  • And in his law he meditates day and night," amen?
  • 00:11:09.944 --> 00:11:13.715
  • When you find the word "the law of the lord,"
  • 00:11:13.715 --> 00:11:16.117
  • It's not specifically referring to
  • 00:11:16.117 --> 00:11:18.153
  • Just the ten commandments, amen?
  • 00:11:18.153 --> 00:11:19.921
  • "the" is a definite article.
  • 00:11:19.921 --> 00:11:21.256
  • "the law of the lord" refers to the entire,
  • 00:11:21.256 --> 00:11:23.758
  • In this context here, the five books of moses,
  • 00:11:23.758 --> 00:11:26.628
  • The law of the lord, amen, the instruction,
  • 00:11:26.628 --> 00:11:29.030
  • The word of god, amen?
  • 00:11:29.030 --> 00:11:30.532
  • So, you meditate on the word of god,
  • 00:11:30.532 --> 00:11:32.534
  • And your delight is in the word of god,
  • 00:11:32.534 --> 00:11:34.669
  • And you hagah on it day and night.
  • 00:11:34.669 --> 00:11:37.272
  • What's gonna happen?
  • 00:11:37.272 --> 00:11:38.606
  • "he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water."
  • 00:11:38.606 --> 00:11:42.911
  • If one river is running low, there are rivers, my friend,
  • 00:11:42.911 --> 00:11:46.047
  • Rivers of water!
  • 00:11:46.047 --> 00:11:47.682
  • How refreshing. how verdant, amen.
  • 00:11:47.682 --> 00:11:51.553
  • How luscious this tree is "that brings forth its fruit
  • 00:11:51.553 --> 00:11:55.957
  • In its season, whose leaf also shall not wither."
  • 00:11:55.957 --> 00:12:00.995
  • And here it says, "whatever he does shall prosper."
  • 00:12:00.995 --> 00:12:05.466
  • Just like joshua 1:8, amen, you shall make your way prosperous,
  • 00:12:05.466 --> 00:12:10.138
  • And you shall have good success.
  • 00:12:10.138 --> 00:12:12.340
  • And here it says, when you meditate on god's word,
  • 00:12:12.340 --> 00:12:15.643
  • Whatever you do prospers.
  • 00:12:15.643 --> 00:12:18.780
  • It doesn't matter what your occupation is.
  • 00:12:18.780 --> 00:12:20.748
  • Whether you're a doctor, a teacher, a homemaker, amen,
  • 00:12:20.748 --> 00:12:24.853
  • Just whatever you do prospers, hallelujah.
  • 00:12:24.853 --> 00:12:29.390
  • The word "good success" is the word "sakal,"
  • 00:12:29.390 --> 00:12:35.263
  • The word sakal.
  • 00:12:35.263 --> 00:12:36.598
  • Keep that in mind, okay-- the word sakal.
  • 00:12:36.598 --> 00:12:38.499
  • All right, the reason why i want you to see timothy--
  • 00:12:38.499 --> 00:12:41.502
  • Here it says, "meditate upon these things."
  • 00:12:41.502 --> 00:12:43.771
  • We know that this word here is meditate
  • 00:12:43.771 --> 00:12:45.473
  • Because some other versions change the word meditate
  • 00:12:45.473 --> 00:12:47.675
  • To "take pains."
  • 00:12:47.675 --> 00:12:49.911
  • "take pains with these things. give diligence to these things."
  • 00:12:49.911 --> 00:12:53.114
  • But, actually, the king james and the new king james
  • 00:12:53.114 --> 00:12:56.150
  • Is accurate, amen?
  • 00:12:56.150 --> 00:12:57.752
  • It says, meletao, which is meditate,
  • 00:12:57.752 --> 00:13:00.755
  • Because we saw just now,
  • 00:13:00.755 --> 00:13:02.090
  • This same word appears in the septuagint for joshua 1:8,
  • 00:13:02.090 --> 00:13:05.093
  • Where it says, "hagah day and night."
  • 00:13:05.093 --> 00:13:07.128
  • Meditate on it day and night. the word meletao, amen?
  • 00:13:07.128 --> 00:13:10.965
  • So, you meditate on it.
  • 00:13:10.965 --> 00:13:12.300
  • And notice, again, like i said just now,
  • 00:13:12.300 --> 00:13:14.002
  • There's always some profit.
  • 00:13:14.002 --> 00:13:15.336
  • There's always something prosperous,
  • 00:13:15.336 --> 00:13:17.338
  • Something successful that results from it.
  • 00:13:17.338 --> 00:13:19.707
  • Here it says "that thy profiting,
  • 00:13:19.707 --> 00:13:22.277
  • That thy profiting may appear to all."
  • 00:13:22.277 --> 00:13:26.047
  • That means what?
  • 00:13:26.047 --> 00:13:27.382
  • It is visual. it is palpable.
  • 00:13:27.382 --> 00:13:30.151
  • It is something that everyone can see, amen?
  • 00:13:30.151 --> 00:13:33.054
  • "and they saw that the lord was with joseph," amen?
  • 00:13:33.054 --> 00:13:37.392
  • Pharaoh saw--rather, pharaoh saw it later on,
  • 00:13:37.392 --> 00:13:40.695
  • But it was potiphar who saw it first--
  • 00:13:40.695 --> 00:13:42.330
  • That--saw that the lord was with joseph,
  • 00:13:42.330 --> 00:13:44.732
  • And whatever he did, god made it to prosper.
  • 00:13:44.732 --> 00:13:47.869
  • So, think, who is potiphar? he's not a godly man, amen?
  • 00:13:47.869 --> 00:13:51.639
  • The world, your boss, amen, your colleagues,
  • 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:55.576
  • The people of the world will see the lord is with you, amen?
  • 00:13:55.576 --> 00:13:58.947
  • They might not be able to define it, amen?
  • 00:13:58.947 --> 00:14:00.848
  • But they will see the lord is with you
  • 00:14:00.848 --> 00:14:02.517
  • And that whatever you do,
  • 00:14:02.517 --> 00:14:03.851
  • The lord makes it to prosper, amen?
  • 00:14:03.851 --> 00:14:06.354
  • It's always tied up with meditation.
  • 00:14:06.354 --> 00:14:09.524
  • It is tied up with meditation, amen?
  • 00:14:09.524 --> 00:14:12.093
  • And it goes on to say, verse 16,
  • 00:14:12.093 --> 00:14:15.697
  • "take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine."
  • 00:14:15.697 --> 00:14:19.267
  • Now paul, by the spirit of god, is telling timothy,
  • 00:14:19.267 --> 00:14:22.770
  • "meditate on god's word, give yourself completely to it,
  • 00:14:22.770 --> 00:14:25.807
  • That your profiting, your advancement,
  • 00:14:25.807 --> 00:14:28.609
  • Your success, may appear to all.
  • 00:14:28.609 --> 00:14:30.878
  • Take heed unto yourself and unto the teaching."
  • 00:14:30.878 --> 00:14:34.882
  • Now, listen, he says, "pay attention to yourself
  • 00:14:34.882 --> 00:14:37.318
  • And to the teaching."
  • 00:14:37.318 --> 00:14:38.653
  • "continue in them."
  • 00:14:38.653 --> 00:14:39.988
  • Continue in the teaching of god's word.
  • 00:14:39.988 --> 00:14:41.956
  • "for in doing this you shall both save yourself,
  • 00:14:41.956 --> 00:14:45.326
  • And them that hear you."
  • 00:14:45.326 --> 00:14:48.062
  • The word "save" here is not "saved from eternal damnation,"
  • 00:14:48.062 --> 00:14:51.632
  • It's not "saved from hell,"
  • 00:14:51.632 --> 00:14:53.434
  • It's not "saved from death," right, as we know it.
  • 00:14:53.434 --> 00:14:58.106
  • It's not salvation, being saved, there--
  • 00:14:58.106 --> 00:15:00.274
  • Although the word saved here, "sozo," also means salvation,
  • 00:15:00.274 --> 00:15:03.678
  • Amen, as when we are born again.
  • 00:15:03.678 --> 00:15:06.647
  • Obviously, he's talking to a believer.
  • 00:15:06.647 --> 00:15:08.449
  • So, what does it mean when he says,
  • 00:15:08.449 --> 00:15:10.518
  • "continue in god's word"?
  • 00:15:10.518 --> 00:15:11.853
  • Continue to teach god's word
  • 00:15:11.853 --> 00:15:13.688
  • Because, by doing that, you will save yourself
  • 00:15:13.688 --> 00:15:16.157
  • And you will save those that hear you.
  • 00:15:16.157 --> 00:15:18.760
  • Christ is made unto you wisdom, amen?
  • 00:15:18.760 --> 00:15:21.162
  • And the way it manifests is pray to god, amen.
  • 00:15:21.162 --> 00:15:23.965
  • Ask god for the spirit of wisdom and revelation,
  • 00:15:23.965 --> 00:15:26.934
  • The eyes of your heart to be enlightened.
  • 00:15:26.934 --> 00:15:29.570
  • We need to see, observe, meditate on god's word.
  • 00:15:29.570 --> 00:15:33.141
  • And the other way that god has just shown us here
  • 00:15:33.141 --> 00:15:36.411
  • Is to meditate on his word.
  • 00:15:36.411 --> 00:15:38.279
  • Take a verse of scripture.
  • 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:39.614
  • It might not be pertaining to your believing god
  • 00:15:39.614 --> 00:15:41.749
  • For health or healing,
  • 00:15:41.749 --> 00:15:43.084
  • Your believing god for a breakthrough
  • 00:15:43.084 --> 00:15:45.153
  • In your addictions--amen?--
  • 00:15:45.153 --> 00:15:46.954
  • Your believing god to restore your marriage.
  • 00:15:46.954 --> 00:15:49.857
  • Whatever it is, take a verse of scripture.
  • 00:15:49.857 --> 00:15:51.592
  • It can be a verse of scripture like what we read just now.
  • 00:15:51.592 --> 00:15:54.195
  • Psalms 1, verse 3, "he shall be like a tree
  • 00:15:54.195 --> 00:15:57.732
  • Planted by the rivers of water,
  • 00:15:57.732 --> 00:15:59.734
  • That brings forth its fruit in its season."
  • 00:15:59.734 --> 00:16:01.636
  • Can you see it? can you see it?
  • 00:16:01.636 --> 00:16:04.839
  • Has this portion of god's word given you a chazon vision?
  • 00:16:04.839 --> 00:16:09.444
  • Can you see yourself like a tree, planted,
  • 00:16:09.444 --> 00:16:12.146
  • Evergreen, ever healthy, ever strong, forever young,
  • 00:16:12.146 --> 00:16:18.519
  • Amen, whatever you do, prospers, amen?
  • 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.556
  • Can you see yourself in that way, amen?
  • 00:16:21.556 --> 00:16:24.225
  • If you can, if you have eyes to see,
  • 00:16:24.225 --> 00:16:26.761
  • That is the chazon vision, my friend.
  • 00:16:26.761 --> 00:16:28.896
  • That's the purest kind of chazon vision
  • 00:16:28.896 --> 00:16:30.765
  • Because it came from god's word,
  • 00:16:30.765 --> 00:16:32.467
  • And god's word is full of chazon visions.
  • 00:16:32.467 --> 00:16:34.936
  • And, you know, i feel like this is a storehouse.
  • 00:16:34.936 --> 00:16:38.706
  • It's a storehouse.
  • 00:16:38.706 --> 00:16:40.041
  • God wants you to break it open, break the shell,
  • 00:16:40.041 --> 00:16:42.043
  • Unfolding of his words, the opening of his words,
  • 00:16:42.043 --> 00:16:44.312
  • Give you light, amen, gives you wisdom,
  • 00:16:44.312 --> 00:16:47.215
  • Gives you length of days, hallelujah,
  • 00:16:47.215 --> 00:16:49.050
  • When the wisdom comes,
  • 00:16:49.050 --> 00:16:50.384
  • And give you riches, honor, pleasure, and peace, hallelujah!
  • 00:16:50.384 --> 00:16:56.023
  • Amen, you know, sometimes i feel like david in psalms 119:162,
  • 00:16:56.023 --> 00:17:00.428
  • Where he says, "i rejoice at your word,
  • 00:17:00.428 --> 00:17:03.598
  • As one that finds great spoil."
  • 00:17:03.598 --> 00:17:07.068
  • You know, in those days, they would go into battle
  • 00:17:07.068 --> 00:17:09.203
  • And their reward would be the spoils of war,
  • 00:17:09.203 --> 00:17:11.973
  • Where they get the sheep, the cattle, the gold,
  • 00:17:11.973 --> 00:17:16.444
  • The silver, the weapons, you know?
  • 00:17:16.444 --> 00:17:19.280
  • "i rejoice at your word," david says,
  • 00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:21.482
  • "as one that finds great spoil."
  • 00:17:21.482 --> 00:17:24.285
  • Do you feel the same way?
  • 00:17:24.285 --> 00:17:25.786
  • "happy is the man that finds wisdom," amen?
  • 00:17:25.786 --> 00:17:28.422
  • "her merchandise is better than silver
  • 00:17:28.422 --> 00:17:30.858
  • And the gain thereof than gold," hallelujah.
  • 00:17:30.858 --> 00:17:34.295
  • Friend, you are now walking in the chazon vision of god.
  • 00:17:34.295 --> 00:17:38.366
  • Hallelujah, hallelujah.
  • 00:17:38.366 --> 00:17:40.735
  • And notice also that it says,
  • 00:17:40.735 --> 00:17:42.370
  • "the entrance of your word gives light"?
  • 00:17:42.370 --> 00:17:44.172
  • But it also says, "it gives understanding unto the simple."
  • 00:17:44.172 --> 00:17:48.409
  • It gives understanding to the simple.
  • 00:17:48.409 --> 00:17:51.579
  • And the word "understanding" here is "bin,"
  • 00:17:51.579 --> 00:17:55.283
  • Bin, all right, bin.
  • 00:17:55.283 --> 00:17:58.319
  • Remember just now, "happy is the man that finds wisdom"?
  • 00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.489
  • All right, the word there is "chokmah."
  • 00:18:01.489 --> 00:18:03.524
  • This is the noun of the word "chakam."
  • 00:18:03.524 --> 00:18:06.093
  • Now, all these things may not mean much to you now,
  • 00:18:06.093 --> 00:18:08.763
  • But it will all come back, okay, because god wants to teach you--
  • 00:18:08.763 --> 00:18:11.465
  • Church, listen-- god wants to teach you
  • 00:18:11.465 --> 00:18:12.800
  • The different rivers of wisdom he wants to release
  • 00:18:12.800 --> 00:18:15.369
  • In your life.
  • 00:18:15.369 --> 00:18:16.704
  • Like, today we will say things like wisdom,
  • 00:18:16.704 --> 00:18:18.639
  • But then there's also discernment, amen?
  • 00:18:18.639 --> 00:18:21.342
  • There is astuteness.
  • 00:18:21.342 --> 00:18:23.911
  • There is a certain knowledge, amen?
  • 00:18:23.911 --> 00:18:28.549
  • All these words in english are different words.
  • 00:18:28.549 --> 00:18:30.651
  • But they all bring you to the same result,
  • 00:18:30.651 --> 00:18:33.588
  • A successful outcome, amen?
  • 00:18:33.588 --> 00:18:35.323
  • So, there's a word called chokmah,
  • 00:18:35.323 --> 00:18:37.124
  • Which is also the word chakam in the verb form.
  • 00:18:37.124 --> 00:18:39.994
  • "tebunah."
  • 00:18:39.994 --> 00:18:41.329
  • "happy is the man who gains understanding.
  • 00:18:41.329 --> 00:18:42.964
  • Tebunah is from bin.
  • 00:18:42.964 --> 00:18:44.966
  • Now go back to "it gives understanding."
  • 00:18:44.966 --> 00:18:46.667
  • It gives bin "to the simple."
  • 00:18:46.667 --> 00:18:48.669
  • Why am i giving you this, chakam, all right?
  • 00:18:48.669 --> 00:18:53.474
  • Chokmah is the noun of chakam and bin, why?
  • 00:18:53.474 --> 00:18:56.844
  • Because do you remember joseph when he was translating,
  • 00:18:56.844 --> 00:19:02.183
  • Interpreting the dream of pharaoh
  • 00:19:02.183 --> 00:19:05.386
  • And pharaoh had a dream
  • 00:19:05.386 --> 00:19:06.721
  • And he interpreted the dream to pharaoh?
  • 00:19:06.721 --> 00:19:08.456
  • And this is what joseph said to pharaoh
  • 00:19:08.456 --> 00:19:10.391
  • At the end of his interpretation.
  • 00:19:10.391 --> 00:19:12.560
  • He says to pharaoh--he said,
  • 00:19:12.560 --> 00:19:14.695
  • "and the dream was repeated to pharaoh twice
  • 00:19:14.695 --> 00:19:17.765
  • Because the thing is established by god,
  • 00:19:17.765 --> 00:19:19.834
  • And god will shortly bring it to pass.
  • 00:19:19.834 --> 00:19:22.236
  • Now therefore, let pharaoh select
  • 00:19:22.236 --> 00:19:26.173
  • A discerning and wise man,
  • 00:19:26.173 --> 00:19:28.743
  • And set him over the land of egypt."
  • 00:19:28.743 --> 00:19:30.444
  • You know, joseph is very smart. he didn't recommend himself.
  • 00:19:30.444 --> 00:19:33.614
  • He just says, like, "you know, pharaoh--
  • 00:19:33.614 --> 00:19:35.750
  • And now that we see what's gonna happen
  • 00:19:35.750 --> 00:19:37.184
  • For the next seven years
  • 00:19:37.184 --> 00:19:38.519
  • And the seven years and all that,
  • 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:40.454
  • Pick a man who is wise and discerning,"
  • 00:19:40.454 --> 00:19:43.791
  • Discerning and wise, amen, a discerning and wise man.
  • 00:19:43.791 --> 00:19:47.194
  • And the word "discerning" is the word bin.
  • 00:19:47.194 --> 00:19:49.630
  • And the word bin is actually the word for discernment.
  • 00:19:49.630 --> 00:19:54.335
  • Joseph said, "let pharaoh select a discerning and wise man.
  • 00:19:54.335 --> 00:19:57.838
  • Set him over the land."
  • 00:19:57.838 --> 00:19:59.173
  • Now, "wise" here is the word chakam,
  • 00:19:59.173 --> 00:20:01.676
  • Where the noun is chokmah.
  • 00:20:01.676 --> 00:20:03.444
  • "happy is the man that finds chakam and bin," right?
  • 00:20:03.444 --> 00:20:07.782
  • Chokmah and tebunah, which is like the noun of these words.
  • 00:20:07.782 --> 00:20:11.852
  • These are the two exact words, amen, that's mentioned--
  • 00:20:11.852 --> 00:20:16.023
  • That happy is the man that finds them.
  • 00:20:16.023 --> 00:20:18.159
  • And joseph recommended such a man.
  • 00:20:18.159 --> 00:20:20.728
  • So, the bible says-- you drop down.
  • 00:20:20.728 --> 00:20:22.530
  • Look at pharaoh's response:
  • 00:20:22.530 --> 00:20:23.864
  • "and pharaoh said to his servants,
  • 00:20:23.864 --> 00:20:25.199
  • 'can we find such a one as this,
  • 00:20:25.199 --> 00:20:27.068
  • A man in whom is the spirit of god?'
  • 00:20:27.068 --> 00:20:29.503
  • Then pharaoh said to joseph,
  • 00:20:29.503 --> 00:20:31.272
  • 'inasmuch as god has shown you all this,
  • 00:20:31.272 --> 00:20:33.541
  • There is no one as discerning and wise as you.'"
  • 00:20:33.541 --> 00:20:37.478
  • "there is no one as discerning
  • 00:20:37.478 --> 00:20:38.813
  • And no one as bin and chakam as you," amen.
  • 00:20:38.813 --> 00:20:45.753
  • I'm here to tell you, friend,
  • 00:20:45.753 --> 00:20:47.922
  • The world puts a premium on discernment and wisdom,
  • 00:20:47.922 --> 00:20:55.329
  • Though they may not express it in those words,
  • 00:20:55.329 --> 00:20:58.532
  • But they value it.
  • 00:20:58.532 --> 00:20:59.867
  • Let's go back to the word sakal again.
  • 00:20:59.867 --> 00:21:01.802
  • Here it says, "you shall make your way prosperous,
  • 00:21:01.802 --> 00:21:03.904
  • And you will have good success."
  • 00:21:03.904 --> 00:21:05.473
  • Remember jesus increased in wisdom and stature
  • 00:21:05.473 --> 00:21:08.776
  • And in favor with god and man?
  • 00:21:08.776 --> 00:21:10.177
  • As a boy, he grew up. he increased in wisdom.
  • 00:21:10.177 --> 00:21:12.546
  • By the way, the word "increase" is the same word used
  • 00:21:12.546 --> 00:21:15.583
  • In "thy profiting may appear to all," same word.
  • 00:21:15.583 --> 00:21:19.286
  • Jesus increased in wisdom and stature,
  • 00:21:19.286 --> 00:21:22.823
  • And in favor with god and man.
  • 00:21:22.823 --> 00:21:24.158
  • The very first area jesus increased as a boy
  • 00:21:24.158 --> 00:21:27.428
  • Was in wisdom, amen.
  • 00:21:27.428 --> 00:21:29.930
  • He must have meditated on god's word.
  • 00:21:29.930 --> 00:21:31.298
  • In fact, i have scripture to show you that jesus as a boy
  • 00:21:31.298 --> 00:21:34.502
  • Meditated on god's word.
  • 00:21:34.502 --> 00:21:36.103
  • It's taken from the messianic psalm, psalms 119.
  • 00:21:36.103 --> 00:21:39.974
  • Here it says, verse 99, "i have more understanding
  • 00:21:39.974 --> 00:21:44.812
  • Than all my teachers,
  • 00:21:44.812 --> 00:21:46.981
  • For your testimonies are my meditation."
  • 00:21:46.981 --> 00:21:50.584
  • Jesus as a boy has more understanding
  • 00:21:50.584 --> 00:21:53.621
  • Than all his teachers.
  • 00:21:53.621 --> 00:21:55.489
  • In fact, it's for you and me as well.
  • 00:21:55.489 --> 00:21:58.759
  • You can have more understanding than all your teachers--
  • 00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:00.628
  • Not more knowledge.
  • 00:22:00.628 --> 00:22:02.196
  • In fact, many a times, they have more knowledge,
  • 00:22:02.196 --> 00:22:05.866
  • But god gives you understanding, more understanding,
  • 00:22:05.866 --> 00:22:08.569
  • Than your teachers.
  • 00:22:08.569 --> 00:22:09.904
  • It's one thing to have knowledge.
  • 00:22:09.904 --> 00:22:11.405
  • It's another thing to have understanding.
  • 00:22:11.405 --> 00:22:12.740
  • By the way, the word "understanding" here
  • 00:22:12.740 --> 00:22:14.074
  • Is the word sakal.
  • 00:22:14.074 --> 00:22:15.409
  • "you shall make your way prosperous,
  • 00:22:15.409 --> 00:22:17.111
  • And you shall have good success."
  • 00:22:17.111 --> 00:22:19.880
  • "good success" is one hebrew word, "sakal."
  • 00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:23.751
  • In other words, it is putting two and two together, amen,
  • 00:22:23.751 --> 00:22:27.822
  • Resulting in a successful,
  • 00:22:27.822 --> 00:22:29.523
  • Prosperous outcome, good success, amen.
  • 00:22:29.523 --> 00:22:33.594
  • That's the word sakal.
  • 00:22:33.594 --> 00:22:34.929
  • It's not enough just to hear, amen?
  • 00:22:34.929 --> 00:22:37.364
  • You need to meditate.
  • 00:22:37.364 --> 00:22:38.699
  • And that's where sakal comes in. that's where "suniemi" comes in.
  • 00:22:38.699 --> 00:22:42.136
  • You're able to put "oh, i see it.
  • 00:22:42.136 --> 00:22:43.604
  • I see it now.
  • 00:22:43.604 --> 00:22:44.939
  • I know how to apply this in my life.
  • 00:22:44.939 --> 00:22:46.273
  • Yeah, i see it now. i see it now."
  • 00:22:46.273 --> 00:22:47.975
  • I cannot make you see it, amen?
  • 00:22:47.975 --> 00:22:50.478
  • You can hear what i'm teaching, but you need to meditate,
  • 00:22:50.478 --> 00:22:53.948
  • Ask god for the spirit of wisdom and revelation, amen,
  • 00:22:53.948 --> 00:22:56.750
  • And meditate on verses that speak to you.
  • 00:22:56.750 --> 00:22:59.954
  • Will you do that?
  • 00:22:59.954 --> 00:23:01.288
  • The bible is full of chazon vision,
  • 00:23:01.288 --> 00:23:02.723
  • Treasures that god wants to bring into your life
  • 00:23:02.723 --> 00:23:05.025
  • For you to meditate on, for you to fill your--
  • 00:23:05.025 --> 00:23:07.695
  • The eyes of your heart with, amen?
  • 00:23:07.695 --> 00:23:09.630
  • And all of a sudden, one day you'll wake up
  • 00:23:09.630 --> 00:23:11.165
  • And you'll find "where's that fear?
  • 00:23:11.165 --> 00:23:12.500
  • Where is that fear?"
  • 00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:13.934
  • And the bible says, "you will find its place no more."
  • 00:23:13.934 --> 00:23:16.604
  • Hallelujah. praise the lord.
  • 00:23:16.604 --> 00:23:18.939
  • Thank you, jesus.
  • 00:23:18.939 --> 00:23:20.274
  • I pray this will encourage you to meditate on god's word, amen?
  • 00:23:20.274 --> 00:23:23.811
  • Find a simple verse of scripture, amen,
  • 00:23:23.811 --> 00:23:25.980
  • A verse that speaks to you.
  • 00:23:25.980 --> 00:23:27.848
  • Maybe it's one of the verses that i shared with you just now.
  • 00:23:27.848 --> 00:23:29.817
  • Maybe it's a verse--
  • 00:23:29.817 --> 00:23:31.151
  • "the entrance of your words gives light."
  • 00:23:31.151 --> 00:23:33.254
  • Meditate on that. meditate on that.
