Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Why Believers Don’t Live Under Sin Anymore | November 21, 2025

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.211
Joseph prince: the bible tells us that,
00:00:13.022 --> 00:00:13.690
For those who are born again,
00:00:14.357 --> 00:00:16.226
Those who are believers on christ,
00:00:16.226 --> 00:00:18.161
There's a new covenant established with them in christ,
00:00:18.161 --> 00:00:21.431
And it's that god will lead you from within, amen?
00:00:21.431 --> 00:00:24.234
God will put his spirit in you and lead you from within.
00:00:24.234 --> 00:00:27.103
And how does god do that? intuition.
00:00:27.103 --> 00:00:29.005
Listen to your spirit.
00:00:29.005 --> 00:00:30.874
Listen to what god is saying to you.
00:00:30.874 --> 00:00:32.775
Your intuition is quicker, amen,
00:00:32.775 --> 00:00:35.011
Than your mind and your body because it is in contact with
00:00:35.011 --> 00:00:38.715
The eternal spirit, god's spirit.
00:00:38.715 --> 00:00:40.950
And it knows things even before it happens.
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:43.286
So we must learn to live by our intuition.
00:00:43.286 --> 00:00:46.523
Male announcer: what is grace?
00:00:46.589 --> 00:00:48.124
What if that's not the right question?
00:00:48.124 --> 00:00:50.160
What if grace is not a what
00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:52.095
But a who with a heartbeat, a voice, and a face?
00:00:52.095 --> 00:00:56.900
In today's message, joseph prince takes us
00:00:56.900 --> 00:00:59.002
Into the scriptures
00:00:59.002 --> 00:01:00.336
To encounter the lovely person of grace,
00:01:00.336 --> 00:01:02.505
Jesus himself.
00:01:02.505 --> 00:01:04.641

00:01:21.057 --> 00:01:26.596
Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
00:01:26.663 --> 00:01:28.965
With today's program.
00:01:28.965 --> 00:01:30.400
Joseph prince: the bible says in romans 8, verse 1,
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.269
"there is therefore now no condemnation at all
00:01:33.269 --> 00:01:36.706
For those who are in christ jesus."
00:01:36.706 --> 00:01:39.576
And this is from the nasb that brings out
00:01:39.576 --> 00:01:41.878
The greek word "no,"
00:01:41.878 --> 00:01:43.947
Which is actually absolutely nothing.
00:01:43.947 --> 00:01:47.317
And it leaves no exceptions, amen?
00:01:47.317 --> 00:01:50.620
It is a no that is very emphatic.
00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:53.389
"therefore there is now no condemnation at all
00:01:53.389 --> 00:01:57.393
For those who are in christ jesus.
00:01:57.393 --> 00:02:00.096
For the law of the spirit of life in christ jesus
00:02:00.096 --> 00:02:02.365
Has set you free from the law of sin and death."
00:02:02.365 --> 00:02:08.338
When jesus died on the cross, he released another law,
00:02:08.338 --> 00:02:11.674
Hallelujah, for all believers.
00:02:11.674 --> 00:02:13.476
The bible says the law of the spirit of life in christ jesus
00:02:13.476 --> 00:02:18.314
Has freed us from the law of sin and death.
00:02:18.314 --> 00:02:22.885
Now, the law of the spirit of life--
00:02:22.885 --> 00:02:24.654
Just like the law here, in a sense,
00:02:24.654 --> 00:02:27.991
Is not the ten commandments law or the laws of the courts,
00:02:27.991 --> 00:02:32.362
Right, but it's the law of which something is operating--
00:02:32.362 --> 00:02:36.733
A mode of operation.
00:02:36.733 --> 00:02:38.768
Like, you say the law of gravity.
00:02:38.768 --> 00:02:40.436
What goes up, comes down because of the law of gravity.
00:02:40.436 --> 00:02:44.374
So, likewise, spiritually,
00:02:44.374 --> 00:02:46.509
There's a law of the spirit of life
00:02:46.509 --> 00:02:47.910
In the lives of every believer.
00:02:47.910 --> 00:02:49.946
That life is "zoe" life, the life that jesus gave us.
00:02:49.946 --> 00:02:54.217
Jesus said, "i come that you might have life,
00:02:54.217 --> 00:02:56.786
And have it more abundantly."
00:02:56.786 --> 00:02:58.588
Well, that's the life that you and i have.
00:02:58.588 --> 00:03:00.890
And that life has a law in it. and that law frees us, amen?
00:03:00.890 --> 00:03:06.562
In fact, the word there is the past tense.
00:03:06.562 --> 00:03:08.364
It frees you.
00:03:08.364 --> 00:03:09.699
It has freed you from the law of sin and death.
00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:14.337
As long as you stay at that place
00:03:14.337 --> 00:03:17.173
Of the law of the spirit of life,
00:03:17.173 --> 00:03:18.508
It frees you.
00:03:18.508 --> 00:03:19.842
It's really a given.
00:03:19.842 --> 00:03:21.177
It has freed you from the law of sin and death.
00:03:21.177 --> 00:03:23.046
And we see this happening-- sometimes we say, you know,
00:03:23.046 --> 00:03:26.482
We don't understand how this operates
00:03:26.482 --> 00:03:27.984
When we still see weakness in our lives and depression.
00:03:27.984 --> 00:03:32.221
All these are signs of death,
00:03:32.221 --> 00:03:34.557
Which god never wanted this law to be released upon the earth.
00:03:34.557 --> 00:03:37.960
But it came in because of man's sin.
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.430
It's like the law of thrust and lift has set the plane free
00:03:40.430 --> 00:03:46.102
From the law of gravity.
00:03:46.102 --> 00:03:48.204
Now, the law of gravity is still there,
00:03:48.204 --> 00:03:50.573
But every time the plane takes off,
00:03:50.573 --> 00:03:52.742
There's another law that transcends
00:03:52.742 --> 00:03:55.111
And frees the plane from the law of gravity.
00:03:55.111 --> 00:03:59.682
It transcends.
00:03:59.682 --> 00:04:01.017
It's called the law of thrust and lift, okay?
00:04:01.017 --> 00:04:03.219
And that law, as long as obey a certain amount of thrust,
00:04:03.219 --> 00:04:07.590
It will cause you to rise higher and higher,
00:04:07.590 --> 00:04:09.759
And you will transcend the law of gravity.
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.994
So god puts in a greater law, a higher law,
00:04:11.994 --> 00:04:14.997
The law of the spirit of life in christ jesus, amen,
00:04:14.997 --> 00:04:18.101
That transcends, that frees you from the law of sin and death.
00:04:18.101 --> 00:04:22.705
Now, friend, that law is still there in the world.
00:04:22.705 --> 00:04:25.608
But god wants us to walk in the spirit
00:04:25.608 --> 00:04:28.077
Because it's the law of the spirit of life
00:04:28.077 --> 00:04:30.646
In christ jesus, amen?
00:04:30.646 --> 00:04:32.448
You are a spirit. you live in a body.
00:04:32.448 --> 00:04:35.685
You are a spirit being
00:04:35.685 --> 00:04:37.387
Because god made you in his image, amen?
00:04:37.387 --> 00:04:40.957
God breathed into man.
00:04:40.957 --> 00:04:43.159
You know, when god made adam, god made adam, his body,
00:04:43.159 --> 00:04:47.363
From the dust of the ground.
00:04:47.363 --> 00:04:48.998
And that's why ashes to ashes, all right?
00:04:48.998 --> 00:04:51.033
But his body came from the dust of the ground,
00:04:51.033 --> 00:04:53.936
But the real adam,
00:04:53.936 --> 00:04:55.872
His spirit and soul was breathed into.
00:04:55.872 --> 00:04:59.342
It's like when god made adam, the body was like a mannequin,
00:04:59.342 --> 00:05:02.178
All right?
00:05:02.178 --> 00:05:03.513
Lifeless.
00:05:03.513 --> 00:05:04.981
You're just standing there, and then god breathed into man.
00:05:04.981 --> 00:05:09.185
I like the hebrew word there, "vayippah."
00:05:09.185 --> 00:05:12.121
The word there, "vayippah."
00:05:12.121 --> 00:05:13.790
It's like god breathed into man, and man became a living soul,
00:05:13.790 --> 00:05:17.193
And man has a spirit that came from god.
00:05:17.193 --> 00:05:19.929
And that's why man,
00:05:19.929 --> 00:05:21.597
Whether they have their sins forgiven,
00:05:21.597 --> 00:05:23.065
Whether they are born again or not, they will live forever.
00:05:23.065 --> 00:05:25.968
It's either hell or heaven.
00:05:25.968 --> 00:05:28.771
And that's why man cannot just cease from existence
00:05:28.771 --> 00:05:33.376
Because he is a spirit.
00:05:33.376 --> 00:05:35.111
But then he has a soul, he has a mind, and he lives in a body.
00:05:35.111 --> 00:05:39.348
God wants the spirit man to be the leader, amen,
00:05:39.348 --> 00:05:43.786
To be the one to lead the soul.
00:05:43.786 --> 00:05:46.489
The soul is subject to the spirit.
00:05:46.489 --> 00:05:49.158
That's why when god baptized us in the holy spirit,
00:05:49.158 --> 00:05:51.861
We start speaking in a language we don't understand.
00:05:51.861 --> 00:05:54.096
We pray in the spirit, and the mind is saying,
00:05:54.096 --> 00:05:56.332
"what are you saying? stop it," all right?
00:05:56.332 --> 00:05:58.568
"stop it. this is gibberish," you know?
00:05:58.568 --> 00:06:00.336
"stop it. i don't understand it.
00:06:00.336 --> 00:06:01.671
If i don't understand it, you must stop it."
00:06:01.671 --> 00:06:03.406
The mind always wants to dominate--
00:06:03.406 --> 00:06:06.642
The mind or the body.
00:06:06.642 --> 00:06:08.077
The body says, "i want it. i want it.
00:06:08.077 --> 00:06:10.079
If i want it, i want to indulge in it.
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.248
I feel it. i want to give in to it.
00:06:12.248 --> 00:06:14.283
If i'm hungry, i want to eat. i want to eat right now," okay?
00:06:14.283 --> 00:06:17.954
And there are people who are led by their bodies.
00:06:17.954 --> 00:06:19.956
There are some who are led by their minds
00:06:19.956 --> 00:06:21.924
Or by their emotions, which is your soul, okay?
00:06:21.924 --> 00:06:24.694
But god wants us to be led by our spirit.
00:06:24.694 --> 00:06:26.829
And that's called walking in the spirit.
00:06:26.829 --> 00:06:28.998
But if you drop down in romans 8,
00:06:28.998 --> 00:06:30.800
Right after the law of the spirit of life,
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.602
It talks about god condemns sin in the flesh.
00:06:32.602 --> 00:06:34.270
We've covered that.
00:06:34.270 --> 00:06:35.605
And it tells us to put our mind on the spirit, amen?
00:06:35.605 --> 00:06:39.075
Put your mind on the spirit.
00:06:39.075 --> 00:06:40.409
It tells you here: "for those who live according to the flesh
00:06:40.409 --> 00:06:44.313
Set their minds on the things of the flesh,
00:06:44.313 --> 00:06:46.516
But those who live according to the spirit
00:06:46.516 --> 00:06:48.885
Set their minds on the things of the spirit.
00:06:48.885 --> 00:06:52.588
Now, to set the mind on the flesh is death.
00:06:52.588 --> 00:06:56.926
But to set the mind on the spirit
00:06:56.926 --> 00:06:59.862
Is life and peace."
00:06:59.862 --> 00:07:02.698
Now, scholars will tell you this: that many a times,
00:07:02.698 --> 00:07:06.068
They are also befuddled by a certain passage,
00:07:06.068 --> 00:07:10.239
Whether it's referring to the holy spirit
00:07:10.239 --> 00:07:13.376
Or the human spirit.
00:07:13.376 --> 00:07:15.177
Sometimes it's not referring to the holy spirit.
00:07:15.177 --> 00:07:16.812
It's referring to the human spirit, amen?
00:07:16.812 --> 00:07:19.048
To set your mind on the flesh is your body, all right?
00:07:19.048 --> 00:07:22.885
And to set your mind on the spirit,
00:07:22.885 --> 00:07:25.221
Therefore, is actually your spirit man, okay?
00:07:25.221 --> 00:07:28.858
And your spirit man is born again.
00:07:28.858 --> 00:07:30.293
It's recreated, created in righteousness
00:07:30.293 --> 00:07:32.628
And true holiness, the bible tells us.
00:07:32.628 --> 00:07:34.997
And to set your mind in the spirit--
00:07:34.997 --> 00:07:37.033
Of course, the holy spirit indwells your spirit.
00:07:37.033 --> 00:07:39.135
I think one of the reasons why in certain passages
00:07:39.135 --> 00:07:42.438
It's not clear whether it's the holy spirit
00:07:42.438 --> 00:07:44.006
Or the human spirit,
00:07:44.006 --> 00:07:46.108
Because god has made them one, amen?
00:07:46.108 --> 00:07:48.911
"he that is joined unto the lord is one spirit," amen?
00:07:48.911 --> 00:07:52.415
So it doesn't matter whether you have to clarify
00:07:52.415 --> 00:07:54.917
Whether it's the holy spirit there
00:07:54.917 --> 00:07:56.419
Or the human spirit.
00:07:56.419 --> 00:07:57.753
Just know this: when you listen to your human spirit even, amen,
00:07:57.753 --> 00:08:00.856
You are listening to the holy spirit
00:08:00.856 --> 00:08:02.191
'cause he dwells there.
00:08:02.191 --> 00:08:03.726
He dwells there, amen?
00:08:03.726 --> 00:08:05.294
He bears witness with--
00:08:05.294 --> 00:08:06.929
"the spirit himself bears witness with our spirit,
00:08:06.929 --> 00:08:10.499
That we are the children of god," hallelujah.
00:08:10.499 --> 00:08:13.369
And that's how god speaks to you.
00:08:13.369 --> 00:08:14.704
That's how god leads you from within.
00:08:14.704 --> 00:08:16.772
And then god wants you
00:08:16.772 --> 00:08:18.107
To lead your mind.
00:08:18.107 --> 00:08:21.143
Let me show you this illustration.
00:08:21.143 --> 00:08:23.179
Now, isn't it good for us to know ourselves
00:08:23.179 --> 00:08:24.947
How god has made us?
00:08:24.947 --> 00:08:26.415
You are a spirit being living in a body.
00:08:26.415 --> 00:08:30.119
But you also have a soul, all right?
00:08:30.119 --> 00:08:31.854
Say this after me right now.
00:08:31.854 --> 00:08:33.189
Say, "i am a spirit, i have a soul,
00:08:33.189 --> 00:08:36.559
And i live in a body," amen?
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.661
Your body is your house. so you have a soul.
00:08:38.661 --> 00:08:41.130
You are not a soul. you are a spirit, amen?
00:08:41.130 --> 00:08:45.568
This is the real you.
00:08:45.568 --> 00:08:47.203
You are a spirit, you have a soul,
00:08:47.203 --> 00:08:49.005
You live in a body, amen?
00:08:49.005 --> 00:08:52.141
So each part has its own functions
00:08:52.141 --> 00:08:54.944
That god has given, all right?
00:08:54.944 --> 00:08:56.345
Of course, your body are the five senses.
00:08:56.345 --> 00:08:58.748
You have the sight, sound, smell, taste, touch.
00:08:58.748 --> 00:09:05.154
So those are your bodily functions, all right?
00:09:05.154 --> 00:09:08.991
In other words, anything that activates this
00:09:08.991 --> 00:09:11.060
Is activating your body.
00:09:11.060 --> 00:09:13.029
So, soul, the function of the soul, is this:
00:09:13.029 --> 00:09:16.298
Mind, emotion, will.
00:09:16.298 --> 00:09:19.669
So your emotions, whether you feel joy
00:09:19.669 --> 00:09:22.405
Or you feel elation, you feel peaceful
00:09:22.405 --> 00:09:27.243
Or you feel depressed,
00:09:27.243 --> 00:09:29.011
You don't feel good and all that,
00:09:29.011 --> 00:09:30.379
It's just an emotion, all right?
00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:32.114
It's all in your soul.
00:09:32.114 --> 00:09:33.849
It's not true in your spirit, all right?
00:09:33.849 --> 00:09:36.719
Now, emotions can affect your body.
00:09:36.719 --> 00:09:39.188
And that's the thing that we're gonna look at
00:09:39.188 --> 00:09:40.723
As well, but then look at the will.
00:09:40.723 --> 00:09:42.558
The will is actually in your soul.
00:09:42.558 --> 00:09:45.094
You decide in your soul, okay?
00:09:45.094 --> 00:09:48.698
So these are the functions of the soul.
00:09:48.698 --> 00:09:51.867
And what are the functions of the spirit?
00:09:51.867 --> 00:09:53.803
The spirit is communion, intuition, and conscience.
00:09:53.803 --> 00:09:57.707
Now, communion is communion with god.
00:09:57.707 --> 00:10:00.042
That's where you commune with god.
00:10:00.042 --> 00:10:02.078
You don't commune with god with your body, okay?
00:10:02.078 --> 00:10:03.879
You don't like, "oh, i feel god."
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.414
It's true. sometimes you feel god.
00:10:05.414 --> 00:10:07.550
That's fine and good, but don't rely on it, amen?
00:10:07.550 --> 00:10:10.686
You commune with the father in spirit.
00:10:10.686 --> 00:10:13.255
Those--"the father seeketh such to worship him.
00:10:13.255 --> 00:10:16.025
Those who worship him must worship him in spirit
00:10:16.025 --> 00:10:19.128
And in truth," all right?
00:10:19.128 --> 00:10:21.163
So that's where you commune with god.
00:10:21.163 --> 00:10:22.965
And it's the most intimate communion, amen?
00:10:22.965 --> 00:10:26.235
Even bodily, if you sense him,
00:10:26.235 --> 00:10:28.104
What is gonna happen when you don't sense him,
00:10:28.104 --> 00:10:30.139
Bodily, the bodily sensations are no longer there?
00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:32.908
I know people cry sometimes in the tangible presence of god.
00:10:32.908 --> 00:10:36.545
And i'm not, you know--i want people to have experiences
00:10:36.545 --> 00:10:40.149
Like this, and i've seen them, and i'm not knocking that, okay?
00:10:40.149 --> 00:10:44.086
But i don't want us to depend on those things.
00:10:44.086 --> 00:10:47.123
God says we walk by faith in the spirit realm
00:10:47.123 --> 00:10:49.859
And not by sight, okay?
00:10:49.859 --> 00:10:51.560
And then you cannot also contact god with your emotions.
00:10:51.560 --> 00:10:55.097
"god, i want to feel you, lord, in my emotions.
00:10:55.097 --> 00:10:58.567
So if i feel joy, i feel peace and all that,
00:10:58.567 --> 00:11:03.739
Feelings of felicity, you know, i feel that you are near."
00:11:03.739 --> 00:11:07.143
No, no, don't depend on that,
00:11:07.143 --> 00:11:08.477
Because your feelings can go up and down, amen?
00:11:08.477 --> 00:11:11.580
But in your spirit man, you have communion with god.
00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:15.551
Just realize it.
00:11:15.551 --> 00:11:16.886
And that's why the praying in tongues
00:11:16.886 --> 00:11:18.721
Is actually praying in the spirit,
00:11:18.721 --> 00:11:21.123
Whereas praying with the understanding
00:11:21.123 --> 00:11:23.092
Is praying with your soul,
00:11:23.092 --> 00:11:25.427
With your mind, your understanding.
00:11:25.427 --> 00:11:27.997
So the deepest part of communion with god
00:11:27.997 --> 00:11:30.065
Is actually your spirit.
00:11:30.065 --> 00:11:31.400
That's one of the functions. and then intuition.
00:11:31.400 --> 00:11:33.369
Now, intuition, even though people are dead spiritually,
00:11:33.369 --> 00:11:38.574
But still the function-- you know, the word "dead"
00:11:38.574 --> 00:11:40.242
Doesn't mean cessation of all the spirit functions.
00:11:40.242 --> 00:11:44.780
Even the people who are not saved,
00:11:44.780 --> 00:11:46.182
They still have a certain amount of communions
00:11:46.182 --> 00:11:47.983
That there are times they sense god,
00:11:47.983 --> 00:11:50.920
All right, in the communion.
00:11:50.920 --> 00:11:52.922
But it's in a state of-- it's deadened.
00:11:52.922 --> 00:11:56.025
That's a better word to use. it's deadened.
00:11:56.025 --> 00:11:58.194
Like the bible says, a widow, you know,
00:11:58.194 --> 00:12:00.729
Talking about a certain widow, all right,
00:12:00.729 --> 00:12:02.464
A certain widow that lives in sinful pleasure, all right?
00:12:02.464 --> 00:12:05.568
She's dead while she lives.
00:12:05.568 --> 00:12:06.902
The prodigal son, when he was living in sin,
00:12:06.902 --> 00:12:09.371
The father says, right,
00:12:09.371 --> 00:12:10.940
"my son was dead but is now alive."
00:12:10.940 --> 00:12:13.909
So the same thing-- we are cut off from god
00:12:13.909 --> 00:12:16.612
In the sense that, you know,
00:12:16.612 --> 00:12:17.980
But the functions are still there,
00:12:17.980 --> 00:12:20.216
You know, but they lie dormant.
00:12:20.216 --> 00:12:22.284
When we are born again, they all come alive, amen?
00:12:22.284 --> 00:12:25.321
Full, amen? in full force.
00:12:25.321 --> 00:12:27.590
Praise the lord.
00:12:27.590 --> 00:12:28.924
They are resurrected, hallelujah.
00:12:28.924 --> 00:12:31.460
So there are people of the world even,
00:12:31.460 --> 00:12:33.562
They can sense in their intuition
00:12:33.562 --> 00:12:34.897
Long before their mind understands something.
00:12:34.897 --> 00:12:38.267
So that's why it's important for us
00:12:38.267 --> 00:12:39.969
To know the intuition, amen?
00:12:39.969 --> 00:12:42.438
And the bible tells us that, for those who are born again,
00:12:42.438 --> 00:12:45.875
Those who are believers on christ,
00:12:45.875 --> 00:12:47.776
There's a new covenant established with them in christ,
00:12:47.776 --> 00:12:51.113
And it's that god will lead you from within, amen?
00:12:51.113 --> 00:12:53.582
God will put his spirit in you and lead you from within.
00:12:53.582 --> 00:12:56.785
And how does god do that? intuition, amen.
00:12:56.785 --> 00:12:59.021
If you are about to sign on a business deal
00:12:59.021 --> 00:13:01.423
And you're contemplating about it,
00:13:01.423 --> 00:13:03.626
And there is a unrest inside.
00:13:03.626 --> 00:13:06.128
Deep down, there's an unrest.
00:13:06.128 --> 00:13:08.163
You can't explain it. you don't know why.
00:13:08.163 --> 00:13:10.566
Listen, stop, pause, and pray again, amen,
00:13:10.566 --> 00:13:13.435
Before you rush into it, amen.
00:13:13.435 --> 00:13:16.238
Don't rush. listen to your spirit.
00:13:16.238 --> 00:13:18.908
Listen to what god is saying to you.
00:13:18.908 --> 00:13:20.843
Confirm with your--make sure your wife is on board.
00:13:20.843 --> 00:13:24.380
If your wife is saved, born again,
00:13:24.380 --> 00:13:25.915
She also has the holy spirit in her, amen?
00:13:25.915 --> 00:13:28.550
And if both of you agree
00:13:28.550 --> 00:13:30.519
And there's rest and there's peace,
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.788
A green light on the inside, all right, go on.
00:13:32.788 --> 00:13:36.458
But if there's restlessness in both of you,
00:13:36.458 --> 00:13:38.627
Do not proceed.
00:13:38.627 --> 00:13:39.962
That's how god leads us.
00:13:39.962 --> 00:13:41.297
But your mind might be saying, "this is a great deal.
00:13:41.297 --> 00:13:43.432
Hey, you know, this is a good deal.
00:13:43.432 --> 00:13:45.034
Come on. take it up," all right?
00:13:45.034 --> 00:13:46.502
But your mind is telling you all this is good,
00:13:46.502 --> 00:13:49.471
But it's your mind, amen?
00:13:49.471 --> 00:13:51.240
And that's why if you're led by what you see,
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:53.275
By your body even,
00:13:53.275 --> 00:13:54.610
By what you hear people tell you,
00:13:54.610 --> 00:13:56.879
Recommending you to invest in this, but deep down,
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.782
When you're about to invest,
00:13:59.782 --> 00:14:01.116
You find that there is a restlessness, obey that.
00:14:01.116 --> 00:14:05.054
You'll be so glad you did.
00:14:05.054 --> 00:14:06.555
Because your intuition is quicker, amen,
00:14:06.555 --> 00:14:09.525
Than your mind and your body because it is in contact with
00:14:09.525 --> 00:14:13.529
The eternal spirit, god's spirit.
00:14:13.529 --> 00:14:15.297
And it knows things even before it happens,
00:14:15.297 --> 00:14:17.766
Praise god.
00:14:17.766 --> 00:14:19.101
So we must learn to live by our intuition, amen.
00:14:19.101 --> 00:14:23.372
Parent by your intuition, amen?
00:14:23.372 --> 00:14:26.241
Deal with your children by your intuition.
00:14:26.241 --> 00:14:28.644
Listen to what god tells you, amen.
00:14:28.644 --> 00:14:31.580
We should even eat, amen, eat by your intuition.
00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:35.784
Your body--your intuition says, "enough."
00:14:35.784 --> 00:14:38.487
Your intuition says, "okay, today you can eat more,"
00:14:38.487 --> 00:14:41.223
All right?
00:14:41.223 --> 00:14:42.558
Don't even go by, "i always eat less,"
00:14:42.558 --> 00:14:44.460
Okay, if your body is telling you that, body preparing you
00:14:44.460 --> 00:14:46.762
For some energy-depleting task, you know, ahead of you.
00:14:46.762 --> 00:14:51.300
But whatever it is, just follow the intuition on the inside.
00:14:51.300 --> 00:14:55.137
The more you practice that,
00:14:55.137 --> 00:14:56.472
Just like with the muscles of the arm and all that,
00:14:56.472 --> 00:14:59.274
It becomes stronger and stronger.
00:14:59.274 --> 00:15:00.909
But spiritual strength, hallelujah!
00:15:00.909 --> 00:15:03.078
Praise the name of jesus. and now we see conscience.
00:15:03.078 --> 00:15:07.282
Conscience is the part where-- actually the word "conscience"
00:15:07.282 --> 00:15:10.352
In the greek is the same as consciousness.
00:15:10.352 --> 00:15:13.922
Like the bible tells us in hebrews 10,
00:15:13.922 --> 00:15:16.692
"for the law having a shadow of good things to come,
00:15:16.692 --> 00:15:19.895
And not the very image of those things,
00:15:19.895 --> 00:15:22.765
Can never with those same sacrifices
00:15:22.765 --> 00:15:24.733
Which they offer year by year continually
00:15:24.733 --> 00:15:27.636
Make the comers thereunto perfect.
00:15:27.636 --> 00:15:31.040
For then would they not have ceased to be offered?"
00:15:31.040 --> 00:15:34.076
Why?
00:15:34.076 --> 00:15:35.411
"because the worshippers once purged," once cleansed,
00:15:35.411 --> 00:15:38.947
"should have no more conscience of sins."
00:15:38.947 --> 00:15:42.885
In other words,
00:15:42.885 --> 00:15:44.219
If all those sacrifices of the old testament--
00:15:44.219 --> 00:15:47.056
The burnt offering, the sin offering.
00:15:47.056 --> 00:15:49.158
They bring a lamb as a sin offering.
00:15:49.158 --> 00:15:52.361
They bring a goat for a sin offering,
00:15:52.361 --> 00:15:54.830
And those goats die in their place,
00:15:54.830 --> 00:15:57.466
And they are forgiven for a day or a week, you know?
00:15:57.466 --> 00:16:01.804
And that's how it's done.
00:16:01.804 --> 00:16:03.138
They're offered daily even, the bible tells us,
00:16:03.138 --> 00:16:05.307
As well as also yearly, all right,
00:16:05.307 --> 00:16:08.811
Where they bring the bullock on the day of atonement.
00:16:08.811 --> 00:16:11.680
The bible says all this is temporal.
00:16:11.680 --> 00:16:13.415
It's impossible for the blood of bulls and goats
00:16:13.415 --> 00:16:16.452
To take away sins.
00:16:16.452 --> 00:16:18.087
And god says that if those sacrifices had worked,
00:16:18.087 --> 00:16:21.957
The worshippers would have no more conscience of sins.
00:16:21.957 --> 00:16:26.128
Do you see that?
00:16:26.128 --> 00:16:27.596
But the word "conscience" is the word "consciousness"
00:16:27.596 --> 00:16:30.165
In the greek.
00:16:30.165 --> 00:16:31.500
And that's why the translations like esv
00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:34.736
And new king james version
00:16:34.736 --> 00:16:36.405
Puts it as "those who are once purified, once cleansed,
00:16:36.405 --> 00:16:41.510
Should have--no longer should have any consciousness
00:16:41.510 --> 00:16:44.746
Of sins."
00:16:44.746 --> 00:16:46.115
I want to read to you a testimony.
00:16:46.115 --> 00:16:48.383
I trust it's gonna bless you.
00:16:48.383 --> 00:16:50.652
And this is a lady from texas, and she shares this:
00:16:50.652 --> 00:16:53.689
"pastor prince, i first heard about your ministry
00:16:53.689 --> 00:16:57.326
Some years ago when i was locked up in prison.
00:16:57.326 --> 00:17:01.096
My mother shared with me about your teachings
00:17:01.096 --> 00:17:03.699
On the gospel of grace and god's love for me.
00:17:03.699 --> 00:17:06.702
I would love to tell you that, when i got released from prison,
00:17:06.702 --> 00:17:10.005
I ran back to god and started living right,
00:17:10.005 --> 00:17:12.674
But i did no such thing.
00:17:12.674 --> 00:17:14.376
Drugs and alcohol had such a hold on my life
00:17:14.376 --> 00:17:18.714
That it seemed as though i would die
00:17:18.714 --> 00:17:20.849
With a needle in my arm or a bottle in my hand or both.
00:17:20.849 --> 00:17:25.354
After many bad decisions,
00:17:25.354 --> 00:17:27.089
I was at a place where i had reached rock bottom.
00:17:27.089 --> 00:17:30.192
I had failed at being a wife, mother, daughter,
00:17:30.192 --> 00:17:34.730
Friend, and person.
00:17:34.730 --> 00:17:36.899
I was completely lost and broken.
00:17:36.899 --> 00:17:40.235
One day, i remembered your sermons
00:17:40.235 --> 00:17:43.338
And began to watch them daily.
00:17:43.338 --> 00:17:45.774
They filled me with the hope and knowledge
00:17:45.774 --> 00:17:48.210
That jesus loves me and died for my sins
00:17:48.210 --> 00:17:51.046
So that i can be brought into his family.
00:17:51.046 --> 00:17:53.248
I realized that god was not angry with me
00:17:53.248 --> 00:17:55.450
And loves me more than i can imagine.
00:17:55.450 --> 00:17:57.819
Today, i have been free from heroin for two years
00:17:57.819 --> 00:18:01.690
And alcohol for over a year.
00:18:01.690 --> 00:18:04.393
I have seen my life change dramatically
00:18:04.393 --> 00:18:07.129
Just by trusting in god
00:18:07.129 --> 00:18:08.730
And being conscious of his love for me
00:18:08.730 --> 00:18:11.233
Instead of being conscious of my sins.
00:18:11.233 --> 00:18:14.736
The lord is continually changing me from the inside out
00:18:14.736 --> 00:18:18.874
And helping me grow.
00:18:18.874 --> 00:18:20.442
My relationship with my parents and son have been restored
00:18:20.442 --> 00:18:24.146
In full.
00:18:24.146 --> 00:18:25.480
I also have a wonderful, godly man in my life
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:28.784
Who prays for me and watches your sermons together with me.
00:18:28.784 --> 00:18:32.754
We plan on getting married and buying a house soon.
00:18:32.754 --> 00:18:35.924
I'm also planning to go back to school
00:18:35.924 --> 00:18:38.126
To become a paralegal
00:18:38.126 --> 00:18:39.962
And help others who are as lost as i was.
00:18:39.962 --> 00:18:42.965
Thank you, pastor prince, for your ministry.
00:18:42.965 --> 00:18:44.866
I still listen to your messages daily."
00:18:44.866 --> 00:18:47.169
To god be all the glory, people. hallelujah, thank you, jesus.
00:18:47.169 --> 00:18:51.073
Now, let's go back to romans, chapter 8.
00:18:51.073 --> 00:18:53.508
In verse 10, it says, "and if christ is in you,
00:18:53.508 --> 00:18:57.646
The body is dead because of sin,
00:18:57.646 --> 00:19:01.750
But the spirit is life because of righteousness."
00:19:01.750 --> 00:19:05.921
The body is dead because of sin. do we agree on that?
00:19:05.921 --> 00:19:09.591
Every time you experience depression,
00:19:09.591 --> 00:19:11.760
You're experiencing death in your soul.
00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:15.964
That's a manifestation of death. death manifests as depression.
00:19:15.964 --> 00:19:20.102
In your body, death can manifest as sickness, disease,
00:19:20.102 --> 00:19:25.007
Constant fatigue, all right?
00:19:25.007 --> 00:19:26.642
These are signs of weakness and death.
00:19:26.642 --> 00:19:29.211
Okay, friend, do not be worried.
00:19:29.211 --> 00:19:31.780
In fact, for the child of god,
00:19:31.780 --> 00:19:33.115
Even though the body is dead because of sin,
00:19:33.115 --> 00:19:35.517
We still have the old body.
00:19:35.517 --> 00:19:36.852
When jesus comes again,
00:19:36.852 --> 00:19:38.186
We're gonna have a brand-new body, right, amen?
00:19:38.186 --> 00:19:39.755
Praise the lord, hallelujah.
00:19:39.755 --> 00:19:41.623
He's gonna transform our body like to his body.
00:19:41.623 --> 00:19:44.693
But until then, we have this body.
00:19:44.693 --> 00:19:47.029
And the bible says, "even though christ is in you,
00:19:47.029 --> 00:19:49.398
The body is dead because of sin,
00:19:49.398 --> 00:19:51.266
But the spirit is life because of righteousness."
00:19:51.266 --> 00:19:57.172
That righteousness is not something that you do.
00:19:57.172 --> 00:20:00.108
It is who you are, amen?
00:20:00.108 --> 00:20:02.744
You are the righteousness of god in christ, amen.
00:20:02.744 --> 00:20:06.248
So your spirit is life because of righteousness.
00:20:06.248 --> 00:20:10.519
So the thing is this: "if only i can get that life in my spirit
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:15.657
To touch my mind and then to flow into my body."
00:20:15.657 --> 00:20:22.097
How is that possible?
00:20:22.097 --> 00:20:23.598
The very next verse tells you, "but if the spirit of him--"
00:20:23.598 --> 00:20:28.136
So although "your body is dead because of sin,
00:20:28.136 --> 00:20:30.172
And your spirit is life because of righteousness,
00:20:30.172 --> 00:20:33.508
But if the spirit--" this is the holy spirit here.
00:20:33.508 --> 00:20:35.444
"if the spirit of him who raised jesus from the dead
00:20:35.444 --> 00:20:38.914
Dwells in you,
00:20:38.914 --> 00:20:40.749
He who raised christ from the dead
00:20:40.749 --> 00:20:43.652
Will also give life to your mortal bodies
00:20:43.652 --> 00:20:48.190
Through his spirit who dwells in you," hallelujah.
00:20:48.190 --> 00:20:52.828
Do you hear that?
00:20:52.828 --> 00:20:54.229
The holy spirit, who raised jesus from the dead,
00:20:54.229 --> 00:20:56.765
He indwells you, right?
00:20:56.765 --> 00:20:58.333
He's gonna quicken, give life to your mortal body.
00:20:58.333 --> 00:21:03.038
In your body right now, you can receive life
00:21:03.038 --> 00:21:06.942
From the holy spirit,
00:21:06.942 --> 00:21:08.276
Who raised jesus from the dead, amen?
00:21:08.276 --> 00:21:10.712
How does that work?
00:21:10.712 --> 00:21:12.047
Now back to my chart again on the spirit-soul-body.
00:21:12.047 --> 00:21:15.650
So what's happening right now-- what do you have in your spirit?
00:21:15.650 --> 00:21:18.987
Righteousness. can you see that?
00:21:18.987 --> 00:21:21.690
The bible says your spirit is life because of righteousness.
00:21:21.690 --> 00:21:25.927
Now, what you want is that you want the life in that spirit
00:21:25.927 --> 00:21:32.267
Because you are righteous.
00:21:32.267 --> 00:21:35.103
You want that life to touch your soul,
00:21:35.103 --> 00:21:37.939
To permeate your soul.
00:21:37.939 --> 00:21:39.408
You want it not just to be contained in your spirit
00:21:39.408 --> 00:21:41.910
But to come out and touch your soul.
00:21:41.910 --> 00:21:44.946
And then after that, touch your body.
00:21:44.946 --> 00:21:49.584
That results in healing, health, wholeness, amen,
00:21:49.584 --> 00:21:54.923
Renewal of youth and strength, hallelujah.
00:21:54.923 --> 00:21:58.627
But notice it all starts with your spirit.
00:21:58.627 --> 00:22:00.896
Your spirit is born again. your spirit is righteous.
00:22:00.896 --> 00:22:05.300
And god wants you to be conscious.
00:22:05.300 --> 00:22:07.135
Now, where are you conscious?
00:22:07.135 --> 00:22:08.603
You are conscious in your spirit, right?
00:22:08.603 --> 00:22:11.206
So exercise that-- being conscious that you are
00:22:11.206 --> 00:22:13.542
The righteousness of god in christ.
00:22:13.542 --> 00:22:15.310
And you do that by confessing,
00:22:15.310 --> 00:22:17.145
"i am the righteousness of god in christ."
00:22:17.145 --> 00:22:18.847
So the more you confess it--
00:22:18.847 --> 00:22:20.549
Come to the place where you even feel it in your emotions, amen.
00:22:20.549 --> 00:22:26.021
Because your emotion is your soul realm.
00:22:26.021 --> 00:22:27.689
Now, you want that life.
00:22:27.689 --> 00:22:29.157
That life is already in you, that zoe life,
00:22:29.157 --> 00:22:32.060
That life from god is in you.
00:22:32.060 --> 00:22:34.095
If that life can touch your depression,
00:22:34.095 --> 00:22:36.465
That's the end of your depression.
00:22:36.465 --> 00:22:37.966
If that life can touch your sickness in your body,
00:22:37.966 --> 00:22:40.569
Amen, it will heal your body.
00:22:40.569 --> 00:22:42.070
Praise the lord.
00:22:42.070 --> 00:22:43.405
So that life needs to come out from our spirit
00:22:43.405 --> 00:22:46.541
And into our bodies.
00:22:46.541 --> 00:22:47.876
You need to experience that yourself.
00:22:47.876 --> 00:22:49.344
Confess it until you feel it, amen?
00:22:49.344 --> 00:22:52.280
"i am the righteousness of god in christ."
00:22:52.280 --> 00:22:54.549
Let it permeate your soul.
00:22:54.549 --> 00:22:56.218
Let it permeate your mind, your body.
00:22:56.218 --> 00:22:58.553
And then it's just one step from the soul to the body.
00:22:58.553 --> 00:23:01.790
When your soul experiences it,
00:23:01.790 --> 00:23:03.558
Amen, your body experiences wholeness, life,
00:23:03.558 --> 00:23:07.395
And peace, hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:23:07.395 --> 00:23:12.834
Praise the name of jesus.
00:23:12.834 --> 00:23:14.436
Announcer: and now a closing word
00:23:15.237 --> 00:23:16.872
From pastor joseph prince.
00:23:16.872 --> 00:23:18.640
Joseph prince: this coming week,
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:20.609
The lord bless you and your families
00:23:20.609 --> 00:23:23.912
Richly, plentifully, abundantly
00:23:23.912 --> 00:23:28.850
Because it's the blessing of the lord that maketh rich
00:23:28.850 --> 00:23:32.020
And not your efforts, not your labor.
00:23:32.020 --> 00:23:35.190
The lord make his face to shine on you and upon your loved ones
00:23:35.190 --> 00:23:40.195
And be favorable to you.
00:23:40.195 --> 00:23:42.397
Open doors of favor throughout this week
00:23:42.397 --> 00:23:44.966
To you and your loved ones.
00:23:44.966 --> 00:23:46.868
May you find yourself, by the grace of god,
00:23:46.868 --> 00:23:49.437
At the right place at the right time, always.
00:23:49.437 --> 00:23:53.542
The lord lift up his countenance on you and your families
00:23:53.542 --> 00:23:59.080
And grant to you and your loved ones
00:23:59.080 --> 00:24:02.317
His wonderful shalom, peace, wholeness, and well-being.
00:24:02.317 --> 00:24:09.090
In the name of the lord jesus christ.
00:24:09.090 --> 00:24:11.726
And all the people said, "amen."
00:24:11.726 --> 00:24:15.163
Continue confessing, my friend,
00:24:15.163 --> 00:24:17.232
That you are the righteousness of god in christ, amen?
00:24:17.232 --> 00:24:19.901
Until next week.
00:24:19.901 --> 00:24:21.269
Male announcer: we live in a world
00:24:22.571 --> 00:24:23.905
That moves faster than ever.
00:24:23.905 --> 00:24:25.740
Headlines change by the hour. values shift.
00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:29.711
Truth feels negotiable.
00:24:29.711 --> 00:24:32.080
What was certain yesterday is no longer clear today.
00:24:32.080 --> 00:24:36.651
But through all the noise and the shaking,
00:24:36.651 --> 00:24:39.387
There is one who is still the same.
00:24:39.387 --> 00:24:43.158
In the chaos, he is still the calm.
00:24:43.158 --> 00:24:46.428
In the panic, he is still the promise.
00:24:46.428 --> 00:24:49.531
Because when all else falters, fades, and falls,
00:24:49.531 --> 00:24:53.602
He is still jesus, above it all.
00:24:53.602 --> 00:24:56.538
So no matter what's popular today or forgotten tomorrow,
00:24:56.538 --> 00:25:00.775
This ministry will still always be all about jesus,
00:25:00.775 --> 00:25:05.547
Still the center of our call,
00:25:05.547 --> 00:25:07.649
Still the heartbeat of our people.
00:25:07.649 --> 00:25:10.251
Will you still choose to make
00:25:10.251 --> 00:25:11.686
Our mission your mission today?
00:25:11.686 --> 00:25:14.255

To make your gift now.
00:25:18.560 --> 00:25:20.428
Female: i told my son. i said, "i found my people."
00:25:20.428 --> 00:25:23.331
I was so excited.
00:25:23.331 --> 00:25:25.300
Announcer: church--it's not a place; it's a people.
00:25:25.300 --> 00:25:32.474
Male: welcome, everyone.
00:25:32.474 --> 00:25:34.976
Male: we get people asking us, saying,
00:25:34.976 --> 00:25:36.444
You know, "how in the world do you do an online church?"
00:25:36.444 --> 00:25:38.747
And, you know, we gather in our living room, and we sing,
00:25:38.747 --> 00:25:41.282
And we praise.
00:25:41.282 --> 00:25:42.617
And then we sit there, and we take in the word.
00:25:42.617 --> 00:25:44.719
And then afterward, you can talk about it.
00:25:44.719 --> 00:25:46.388
Announcer: church is not four walls.
00:25:46.388 --> 00:25:48.523
It's one body of christ.
00:25:48.523 --> 00:25:51.359
Male: we just feel so plugged in now.
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:52.727
We feel planted.
00:25:52.727 --> 00:25:54.229
It does take some getting used to
00:25:54.229 --> 00:25:55.563
A little bit, you know, doing the online church.
00:25:55.563 --> 00:25:57.165
But, i mean, right now we're speaking to you all,
00:25:57.165 --> 00:25:59.067
And we're, you know, transcending time and space.
00:25:59.067 --> 00:26:01.469
Announcer: from livestreams to lifelines.
00:26:01.469 --> 00:26:04.472
Female: my best friends are in the chat, in the chat host.
00:26:04.472 --> 00:26:08.576
And when i was sick, i had people praying for me.
00:26:08.576 --> 00:26:11.112
I had people taking communion for me.
00:26:11.112 --> 00:26:13.481
They're right there when you need it.
00:26:13.481 --> 00:26:15.383
Announcer: because church is not where you meet;
00:26:15.383 --> 00:26:17.752
It's who you meet.
00:26:17.752 --> 00:26:19.788
Female: join a digital church
00:26:19.788 --> 00:26:21.289
And learn to feel love from people we can't see
00:26:21.289 --> 00:26:24.426
And we're not in the same room as.
00:26:24.426 --> 00:26:26.528
It helps us to make that connection--
00:26:26.528 --> 00:26:28.730
That i can't see god
00:26:28.730 --> 00:26:30.065
And i'm not in the same room as him,
00:26:30.065 --> 00:26:31.499
But he loves me.
00:26:31.499 --> 00:26:32.834
Announcer: find your people. find your church.
00:26:32.834 --> 00:26:35.336
Joseph prince: i believe that there is
00:26:36.705 --> 00:26:38.039
A corporate anointing whenever we come together
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:40.575
To worship the lord as the body of christ,
