  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.310
  • Joseph prince: favor is something that god gives
  • 00:00:12.821 --> 00:00:14.323
  • And for all the saints of the old times,
  • 00:00:14.323 --> 00:00:16.258
  • Under the old testament,
  • 00:00:16.258 --> 00:00:17.693
  • They'll be longing for that favor.
  • 00:00:17.693 --> 00:00:20.195
  • But alas, they are all too aware of their weakness
  • 00:00:20.195 --> 00:00:23.665
  • And their shortcomings and their sins
  • 00:00:23.665 --> 00:00:26.635
  • And then they forfeit themselves of that favor.
  • 00:00:26.635 --> 00:00:29.138
  • They know that, you know, it's only for the josephs
  • 00:00:29.138 --> 00:00:31.373
  • And the davids and the ruths.
  • 00:00:31.373 --> 00:00:33.709
  • You and i today, we have access into this favor
  • 00:00:33.709 --> 00:00:37.246
  • In which we stand.
  • 00:00:37.246 --> 00:00:38.580
  • God does not see sin on us.
  • 00:00:38.580 --> 00:00:40.682
  • We can come to god boldly, amen, praise the lord,
  • 00:00:40.682 --> 00:00:44.119
  • And the sin in us will be removed
  • 00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.288
  • When we receive the glorified body
  • 00:00:46.288 --> 00:00:48.323
  • In christ, hallelujah.
  • 00:00:48.323 --> 00:00:49.892
  • But until then, god does not see sin on you, child of god,
  • 00:00:49.892 --> 00:00:53.695
  • And you can come to god boldly
  • 00:00:53.695 --> 00:00:55.631
  • Because christ did a perfect work at the cross.
  • 00:00:55.631 --> 00:00:58.233
  • When he laid down his life on that cross, amen,
  • 00:00:58.233 --> 00:01:01.537
  • He bore all our sins away.
  • 00:01:01.537 --> 00:01:03.972
  • And it's a perfect and eternal work.
  • 00:01:03.972 --> 00:01:06.975
  • We stand in the value of that work.
  • 00:01:06.975 --> 00:01:10.379
  • Announcer: let's kickstart the year with the right attitude,
  • 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.416
  • The attitude of rest.
  • 00:01:14.416 --> 00:01:16.518
  • In today's message, joseph shares how life
  • 00:01:16.518 --> 00:01:18.587
  • Isn't about fighting to survive,
  • 00:01:18.587 --> 00:01:20.822
  • It's about living under god's unstoppable favor
  • 00:01:20.822 --> 00:01:23.525
  • For you and your loved ones.
  • 00:01:23.525 --> 00:01:25.994
  • People say that in life, you've got to want it,
  • 00:01:25.994 --> 00:01:28.897
  • You've got to earn it, you've got to deserve it.
  • 00:01:28.897 --> 00:01:31.967
  • But what if there's a better way?
  • 00:01:31.967 --> 00:01:34.036

  • 00:01:34.036 --> 00:01:36.171
  • Learn to let go of what the world says
  • 00:01:36.171 --> 00:01:38.073

  • And now, here's pastor joseph prince with today's program.
  • 00:02:11.773 --> 00:02:15.444
  • Joseph prince: let's dive right into god's word.
  • 00:02:15.444 --> 00:02:17.012
  • Romans chapter 4.
  • 00:02:17.012 --> 00:02:19.281
  • It says: "christ was delivered up
  • 00:02:19.281 --> 00:02:21.383
  • Because of our offenses,
  • 00:02:21.383 --> 00:02:22.884
  • And was raised because of our justification."
  • 00:02:22.884 --> 00:02:26.521
  • He was delivered up for our offenses.
  • 00:02:26.521 --> 00:02:29.358
  • Now if christ did that work on that cross and he did it
  • 00:02:29.358 --> 00:02:32.861
  • Because of our offenses,
  • 00:02:32.861 --> 00:02:34.329
  • Remember this, when god sent his son,
  • 00:02:34.329 --> 00:02:37.266
  • God sent his son into this world without sin,
  • 00:02:37.266 --> 00:02:40.235
  • He took on what the bible calls the likeness of sinful flesh.
  • 00:02:40.235 --> 00:02:44.439
  • Not sinful flesh.
  • 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.108
  • He has no sin in his flesh.
  • 00:02:46.108 --> 00:02:48.377
  • He took the likeness like our bodies,
  • 00:02:48.377 --> 00:02:51.480
  • The likeness of sinful flesh,
  • 00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:53.315
  • So that he has a body to sacrifice on that cross.
  • 00:02:53.315 --> 00:02:57.586
  • He came for the purpose to lay down his life on that cross,
  • 00:02:57.586 --> 00:03:02.124
  • Because we have all sinned.
  • 00:03:02.124 --> 00:03:03.692
  • "all we like sheep have gone astray."
  • 00:03:03.692 --> 00:03:05.560
  • We've rebelled against the love of god for us.
  • 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.897
  • We have listened to the voice of the enemy who hates us
  • 00:03:08.897 --> 00:03:13.001
  • Instead of submitting ourselves to the voice of god
  • 00:03:13.001 --> 00:03:15.604
  • Who loves us perfectly.
  • 00:03:15.604 --> 00:03:17.973
  • And as a result, the bible says: "the wages of sin is death,
  • 00:03:17.973 --> 00:03:21.076
  • But the gift of god is eternal life
  • 00:03:21.076 --> 00:03:22.944
  • Through jesus christ our lord."
  • 00:03:22.944 --> 00:03:24.713
  • So the bible says christ was delivered up for our offenses
  • 00:03:24.713 --> 00:03:28.517
  • On that cross.
  • 00:03:28.517 --> 00:03:30.052
  • Now think of the glory of that person
  • 00:03:30.052 --> 00:03:32.788
  • Who bore our sins in his own body on the cross.
  • 00:03:32.788 --> 00:03:36.892
  • Can he do anything else but a perfect work?
  • 00:03:36.892 --> 00:03:41.096
  • If you know who he is, you cannot question
  • 00:03:41.096 --> 00:03:45.100
  • The value and the efficacy of his work.
  • 00:03:45.100 --> 00:03:48.003
  • You know, when we look at the work of somebody,
  • 00:03:48.003 --> 00:03:51.707
  • And in order for us to gain satisfaction
  • 00:03:51.707 --> 00:03:54.976
  • Or confidence in that work,
  • 00:03:54.976 --> 00:03:57.212
  • We must know who did that work, amen.
  • 00:03:57.212 --> 00:04:01.316
  • It's all about the person who did the work.
  • 00:04:01.316 --> 00:04:04.152
  • If we look at a masterpiece, a painting,
  • 00:04:04.152 --> 00:04:06.254
  • And you know it's painted by michelangelo, okay?
  • 00:04:06.254 --> 00:04:10.359
  • It's painted by rembrandt, amen,
  • 00:04:10.359 --> 00:04:13.195
  • You know the work is going to be good.
  • 00:04:13.195 --> 00:04:14.863
  • It's going to be something that only a master can produce.
  • 00:04:14.863 --> 00:04:18.367
  • So likewise, when we know the work of jesus,
  • 00:04:18.367 --> 00:04:21.536
  • We know who is the one that did the work,
  • 00:04:21.536 --> 00:04:24.806
  • It cannot be but a perfect work.
  • 00:04:24.806 --> 00:04:27.409
  • So what was the work?
  • 00:04:27.409 --> 00:04:28.810
  • The work was to remove our sins, amen,
  • 00:04:28.810 --> 00:04:32.447
  • In the presence of a holy god
  • 00:04:32.447 --> 00:04:34.416
  • So when god looks at us, he does not see sin on us.
  • 00:04:34.416 --> 00:04:37.786
  • Even though, even today, there's sin in us,
  • 00:04:37.786 --> 00:04:40.789
  • But god does not see sin on us.
  • 00:04:40.789 --> 00:04:43.058
  • We can come to god boldly, amen, praise the lord.
  • 00:04:43.058 --> 00:04:46.528
  • And the sin in us will be removed
  • 00:04:46.528 --> 00:04:48.730
  • When we receive the glorified body in christ, hallelujah.
  • 00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:52.334
  • But until then, god does not see sin on you, child of god,
  • 00:04:52.334 --> 00:04:56.037
  • And you can come to god boldly
  • 00:04:56.037 --> 00:04:58.006
  • Because christ did a perfect work at the cross.
  • 00:04:58.006 --> 00:05:00.542
  • When he laid down his life on that cross, amen,
  • 00:05:00.542 --> 00:05:04.012
  • He bore all our sins away.
  • 00:05:04.012 --> 00:05:06.415
  • And it's a perfect and eternal work.
  • 00:05:06.415 --> 00:05:09.251
  • We stand in the value of that work before god, amen.
  • 00:05:09.251 --> 00:05:14.689
  • We stand righteous by the blood of jesus,
  • 00:05:14.689 --> 00:05:17.359
  • Which is the very next line.
  • 00:05:17.359 --> 00:05:19.461
  • "he was raised because of our justification."
  • 00:05:19.461 --> 00:05:23.198
  • He was raised, like young's translation
  • 00:05:23.198 --> 00:05:25.700
  • Brings out the greek word here
  • 00:05:25.700 --> 00:05:27.502
  • For justification, declared righteous.
  • 00:05:27.502 --> 00:05:30.105
  • He was raised from the dead
  • 00:05:30.105 --> 00:05:31.907
  • Because we have been declared righteous.
  • 00:05:31.907 --> 00:05:34.709
  • Many a times, you know, when god says,
  • 00:05:34.709 --> 00:05:36.545
  • Now we are declared righteous,
  • 00:05:36.545 --> 00:05:38.213
  • We have access into this favor in which we stand.
  • 00:05:38.213 --> 00:05:42.551
  • We are the favor of god.
  • 00:05:42.551 --> 00:05:44.019
  • And every time the jewish people in times past,
  • 00:05:44.019 --> 00:05:47.055
  • When they read about the old testament,
  • 00:05:47.055 --> 00:05:48.857
  • How david had favor, how esther had favor
  • 00:05:48.857 --> 00:05:52.794
  • Before the king,
  • 00:05:52.794 --> 00:05:54.229
  • How noah found grace in the eyes of the lord,
  • 00:05:54.229 --> 00:05:58.166
  • How ruth found grace, favor in the eyes of the near kinsman,
  • 00:05:58.166 --> 00:06:03.405
  • The one who could redeem her poverty,
  • 00:06:03.405 --> 00:06:05.607
  • Could redeem her situation.
  • 00:06:05.607 --> 00:06:07.642
  • All this, there would be-- even joseph as a slave
  • 00:06:07.642 --> 00:06:11.179
  • With nothing to his name, stood before pharaoh.
  • 00:06:11.179 --> 00:06:14.082
  • In an hour he had favor with pharaoh.
  • 00:06:14.082 --> 00:06:17.118
  • And pharaoh made him the most powerful man next to him
  • 00:06:17.118 --> 00:06:20.755
  • Over all egypt.
  • 00:06:20.755 --> 00:06:22.424
  • So favor is something that god gives.
  • 00:06:22.424 --> 00:06:24.392
  • And for all the saints of the old times,
  • 00:06:24.392 --> 00:06:26.394
  • Under the old testament, they will be longing for that favor.
  • 00:06:26.394 --> 00:06:29.798
  • But alas, they are all too aware of their weakness
  • 00:06:29.798 --> 00:06:33.335
  • And their shortcomings and their sins
  • 00:06:33.335 --> 00:06:36.238
  • And then they forfeit themselves of that favor.
  • 00:06:36.238 --> 00:06:38.707
  • They know that, you know, it's only for the josephs
  • 00:06:38.707 --> 00:06:40.976
  • And the davids and the ruths.
  • 00:06:40.976 --> 00:06:43.178
  • But my friend, you and i today, we have access into this favor
  • 00:06:43.178 --> 00:06:48.016
  • In which we stand.
  • 00:06:48.016 --> 00:06:49.384
  • We should be confessing it every day.
  • 00:06:49.384 --> 00:06:50.919
  • Before we leave our house, i have the favor of god on me.
  • 00:06:50.919 --> 00:06:54.422
  • I have favor with god and i have favor with men.
  • 00:06:54.422 --> 00:06:57.626
  • We are under the favor of god, under his unclouded favor.
  • 00:06:57.626 --> 00:07:01.162
  • And we enjoy this favor every single day.
  • 00:07:01.162 --> 00:07:03.598
  • It doesn't mean there's no suffering.
  • 00:07:03.598 --> 00:07:05.200
  • In fact, the very next verse says we don't just rejoice
  • 00:07:05.200 --> 00:07:07.836
  • Or boast in the glory of god.
  • 00:07:07.836 --> 00:07:09.971
  • The word there is boast actually.
  • 00:07:09.971 --> 00:07:11.506
  • But we also boast in troubles, tribulation.
  • 00:07:11.506 --> 00:07:14.743
  • Why?
  • 00:07:14.743 --> 00:07:16.144
  • Now tribulation worketh for us.
  • 00:07:16.144 --> 00:07:18.446
  • Troubles work for us, amen.
  • 00:07:18.446 --> 00:07:20.615
  • Trouble should not have troubled you because--because trouble
  • 00:07:20.615 --> 00:07:23.184
  • Troubles you, now you have-- it's like throwing you
  • 00:07:23.184 --> 00:07:25.820
  • A lot of stones and the stones never reach you
  • 00:07:25.820 --> 00:07:29.090
  • But falls at your feet and that makes the foundation
  • 00:07:29.090 --> 00:07:31.293
  • For you to step on higher and higher
  • 00:07:31.293 --> 00:07:33.995
  • To where god wants you to be.
  • 00:07:33.995 --> 00:07:35.597
  • God will cause all things to work together for good
  • 00:07:35.597 --> 00:07:38.667
  • To them that love god.
  • 00:07:38.667 --> 00:07:40.001
  • Look at that verse just one more time, romans 8:28.
  • 00:07:40.001 --> 00:07:42.337
  • Because it's so true for those who have the favor of god,
  • 00:07:42.337 --> 00:07:45.407
  • We rejoice in troubles because troubles worketh perseverance,
  • 00:07:45.407 --> 00:07:49.177
  • It worketh good in your life.
  • 00:07:49.177 --> 00:07:50.879
  • And this verse says in romans 8:28: "and we know--"
  • 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.116
  • Do you know it? do you know it?
  • 00:07:55.116 --> 00:07:57.419
  • Not just a theory in your head.
  • 00:07:57.419 --> 00:07:59.187
  • Not i hope to know it, i hope to believe it.
  • 00:07:59.187 --> 00:08:02.257
  • But "we know that all things work together for good."
  • 00:08:02.257 --> 00:08:06.962
  • It doesn't say all these things are good.
  • 00:08:06.962 --> 00:08:08.930
  • Not all things that happen to you are good.
  • 00:08:08.930 --> 00:08:11.232
  • But all things work together for good.
  • 00:08:11.232 --> 00:08:13.868
  • And this word, "work together," is one greek word, "synergeo,"
  • 00:08:13.868 --> 00:08:19.140
  • Which is the word you get our english word "synergy."
  • 00:08:19.140 --> 00:08:22.444
  • You know what synergy?
  • 00:08:22.444 --> 00:08:23.778
  • Synergy is the employment of all the different parts
  • 00:08:23.778 --> 00:08:27.449
  • That produces a total effect, amen?
  • 00:08:27.449 --> 00:08:31.052
  • So god is working everything,
  • 00:08:31.052 --> 00:08:32.687
  • Even though he's not behind everything.
  • 00:08:32.687 --> 00:08:35.457
  • Especially when there are bad stuff, amen.
  • 00:08:35.457 --> 00:08:37.459
  • God is a good god, but he is working all things
  • 00:08:37.459 --> 00:08:39.961
  • For your good, amen?
  • 00:08:39.961 --> 00:08:41.696
  • And then he goes on to say, "for good to those who love god,
  • 00:08:41.696 --> 00:08:44.566
  • To those who are the called according to his purpose."
  • 00:08:44.566 --> 00:08:46.968
  • And the next verse tells us the purpose: "for whom he foreknew,
  • 00:08:46.968 --> 00:08:50.138
  • He also predestined to be conformed
  • 00:08:50.138 --> 00:08:53.308
  • To the image of his son," jesus, "that he might be--
  • 00:08:53.308 --> 00:08:57.812
  • That jesus might be the firstborn among many brethren."
  • 00:08:57.812 --> 00:09:02.017
  • Notice the purpose is tied up with what god foreknew.
  • 00:09:02.017 --> 00:09:05.186
  • It is tied up with the predestination to be conformed
  • 00:09:05.186 --> 00:09:07.989
  • To the image of jesus.
  • 00:09:07.989 --> 00:09:09.591
  • And those whom he foreknew would believe on christ.
  • 00:09:09.591 --> 00:09:13.828
  • He predestined this, not others to go to hell.
  • 00:09:13.828 --> 00:09:18.033
  • No!
  • 00:09:18.033 --> 00:09:19.367
  • He predestined those
  • 00:09:19.367 --> 00:09:20.702
  • Who would believe on christ,
  • 00:09:20.702 --> 00:09:22.370
  • Whom he foreknew would accept christ,
  • 00:09:22.370 --> 00:09:24.806
  • He predestined them to end up conformed
  • 00:09:24.806 --> 00:09:28.677
  • To the image of his son, the son that he loved,
  • 00:09:28.677 --> 00:09:33.381
  • That he loved dearly, amen?
  • 00:09:33.381 --> 00:09:35.917
  • When you look at jesus, how beautiful he is.
  • 00:09:35.917 --> 00:09:38.920
  • Isn't he?
  • 00:09:38.920 --> 00:09:40.255
  • When you look at his moral beauty, his moral glory,
  • 00:09:40.255 --> 00:09:44.526
  • You look at him: his eyes, full of love for sinners.
  • 00:09:44.526 --> 00:09:49.364
  • He sees things that others don't.
  • 00:09:49.364 --> 00:09:51.466
  • You know, he sees beauty where others see ugliness.
  • 00:09:51.466 --> 00:09:54.569
  • He sees the cry in a sinner's heart
  • 00:09:54.569 --> 00:09:57.906
  • Whereas others see the filth and the sin
  • 00:09:57.906 --> 00:10:00.141
  • And the uncleanness.
  • 00:10:00.141 --> 00:10:01.643
  • Jesus will welcome you with open arms because he loves you
  • 00:10:01.643 --> 00:10:06.281
  • And he sees you as his sheep, hallelujah!
  • 00:10:06.281 --> 00:10:10.618
  • He love you.
  • 00:10:10.618 --> 00:10:12.020
  • He loved you long before you know him.
  • 00:10:12.020 --> 00:10:14.022
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:10:14.022 --> 00:10:15.356
  • He looks at sheep, people actually,
  • 00:10:15.356 --> 00:10:18.059
  • By the side of the mountain.
  • 00:10:18.059 --> 00:10:19.394
  • And the bible says they were distressed.
  • 00:10:19.394 --> 00:10:21.162
  • They were going astray.
  • 00:10:21.162 --> 00:10:22.897
  • And he saw them as sheep having no shepherd.
  • 00:10:22.897 --> 00:10:26.201
  • Now other people will see them as,
  • 00:10:26.201 --> 00:10:28.069
  • These are just rebellious people.
  • 00:10:28.069 --> 00:10:29.537
  • That's why they are going astray.
  • 00:10:29.537 --> 00:10:31.239
  • They're just rebellious.
  • 00:10:31.239 --> 00:10:32.674
  • They are full of sin.
  • 00:10:32.674 --> 00:10:34.075
  • They have no heart for god.
  • 00:10:34.075 --> 00:10:35.477
  • You know, criticize, you know, and just criticize
  • 00:10:35.477 --> 00:10:37.812
  • And condemn and condemn.
  • 00:10:37.812 --> 00:10:39.581
  • As opposed to jesus, he saw them rebellious, going astray,
  • 00:10:39.581 --> 00:10:43.585
  • Confused, distressed because they were like sheep
  • 00:10:43.585 --> 00:10:47.856
  • Having no shepherd.
  • 00:10:47.856 --> 00:10:49.224
  • And he is the shepherd, amen?
  • 00:10:49.224 --> 00:10:51.760
  • He is the shepherd and he proceeded to teach them,
  • 00:10:51.760 --> 00:10:54.529
  • He proceeded to feed them.
  • 00:10:54.529 --> 00:10:56.498
  • He proceeded to bless them and bring them
  • 00:10:56.498 --> 00:10:59.768
  • Into his fold, hallelujah!
  • 00:10:59.768 --> 00:11:01.970
  • Because he is the good shepherd.
  • 00:11:01.970 --> 00:11:03.471
  • So how do we view sinners?
  • 00:11:03.471 --> 00:11:05.140
  • How do we view people who do not know jesus?
  • 00:11:05.140 --> 00:11:07.275
  • Even though they are using their voice
  • 00:11:07.275 --> 00:11:10.345
  • To blaspheme his holy name, he never stops loving them.
  • 00:11:10.345 --> 00:11:14.215
  • He sees them as what he declared at the cross:
  • 00:11:14.215 --> 00:11:17.685
  • "father, forgive them for they know not what they do."
  • 00:11:17.685 --> 00:11:21.656
  • They don't realize what they are doing.
  • 00:11:21.656 --> 00:11:23.358
  • And even paul himself says, i was the chief of sinners.
  • 00:11:23.358 --> 00:11:27.462
  • You know, i was a blasphemer.
  • 00:11:27.462 --> 00:11:29.097
  • But god in his grace, in his mercy, saved me.
  • 00:11:29.097 --> 00:11:31.933
  • That in me, there might be for other believers, a pattern.
  • 00:11:31.933 --> 00:11:36.204
  • They will see a pattern of god's patience,
  • 00:11:36.204 --> 00:11:39.274
  • Long-suffering in my life, hallelujah.
  • 00:11:39.274 --> 00:11:41.776
  • Because if god can save me, the chief of sinners,
  • 00:11:41.776 --> 00:11:44.546
  • Paul says, god can save you, hallelujah!
  • 00:11:44.546 --> 00:11:48.082
  • So god's purpose is that everyone that would believe
  • 00:11:48.082 --> 00:11:50.585
  • In jesus, whom he foreknew would believe on christ,
  • 00:11:50.585 --> 00:11:53.755
  • He predestined every one of them, those believers,
  • 00:11:53.755 --> 00:11:56.424
  • To end up being conformed to the image of jesus.
  • 00:11:56.424 --> 00:11:59.294
  • So everything in your life, good things,
  • 00:11:59.294 --> 00:12:01.663
  • Bad things, amen, small things, big things,
  • 00:12:01.663 --> 00:12:05.300
  • Whatever it is, all that is happening in your life
  • 00:12:05.300 --> 00:12:08.303
  • Is so that-- it's all predestined.
  • 00:12:08.303 --> 00:12:10.572
  • You are predestined.
  • 00:12:10.572 --> 00:12:12.140
  • No, those things are not predestined.
  • 00:12:12.140 --> 00:12:13.675
  • But you are predestined.
  • 00:12:13.675 --> 00:12:15.310
  • Those things are working towards the predestination for you
  • 00:12:15.310 --> 00:12:19.380
  • To end up just like jesus.
  • 00:12:19.380 --> 00:12:24.586
  • You will end up looking like jesus.
  • 00:12:24.586 --> 00:12:27.889
  • You will be conformed to the image of jesus.
  • 00:12:27.889 --> 00:12:30.992
  • And my friend, i'll tell you this.
  • 00:12:30.992 --> 00:12:32.760
  • Jesus is no failure.
  • 00:12:32.760 --> 00:12:34.629
  • Everything he touched prospers.
  • 00:12:34.629 --> 00:12:36.331
  • He touched the leper.
  • 00:12:36.331 --> 00:12:39.033
  • Ugliness becomes beauty.
  • 00:12:39.033 --> 00:12:40.735
  • He gives dominance of beauty for the ashes of the leper.
  • 00:12:40.735 --> 00:12:43.571
  • When there's little in his hands,
  • 00:12:43.571 --> 00:12:45.506
  • He touches the five loaves and two small fish
  • 00:12:45.506 --> 00:12:48.576
  • And they become plenty to feed the hungry, hallelujah.
  • 00:12:48.576 --> 00:12:52.780
  • He touches the poor and the poor becomes rich.
  • 00:12:52.780 --> 00:12:56.751
  • He touches the sick and the sick body becomes healthy.
  • 00:12:56.751 --> 00:13:01.623
  • Not just healthy, vibrant with health,
  • 00:13:01.623 --> 00:13:03.858
  • With the energy to serve him with.
  • 00:13:03.858 --> 00:13:06.060
  • Just like peter's mother rose from her sickbed
  • 00:13:06.060 --> 00:13:09.097
  • To serve them, hallelujah.
  • 00:13:09.097 --> 00:13:10.965
  • I'm telling you, friend, whatever jesus touches prospers
  • 00:13:10.965 --> 00:13:15.036
  • And to be conformed to the image of jesus with his character,
  • 00:13:15.036 --> 00:13:18.907
  • His beautiful person, hallelujah,
  • 00:13:18.907 --> 00:13:21.676
  • And to have the results that he has, hallelujah.
  • 00:13:21.676 --> 00:13:26.381
  • That itself is true success.
  • 00:13:26.381 --> 00:13:28.583
  • It's not getting, you know, so much money in your life
  • 00:13:28.583 --> 00:13:32.086
  • That one day i'll come to a place
  • 00:13:32.086 --> 00:13:33.521
  • That others can look at me and say,
  • 00:13:33.521 --> 00:13:34.989
  • "wow, i wanna be like him."
  • 00:13:34.989 --> 00:13:36.324
  • Really?
  • 00:13:36.324 --> 00:13:37.759
  • Is that really your heart's desire?
  • 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.093
  • Will that really satisfy?
  • 00:13:39.093 --> 00:13:42.430
  • Fame, i want to be famous.
  • 00:13:42.430 --> 00:13:44.032
  • I want people to know my name.
  • 00:13:44.032 --> 00:13:45.700
  • Being famous is not very peaceful.
  • 00:13:45.700 --> 00:13:48.069
  • I'll tell you that, all right?
  • 00:13:48.069 --> 00:13:50.171
  • It is not.
  • 00:13:50.171 --> 00:13:52.407
  • You will find yourself always waking up, wondering,
  • 00:13:52.407 --> 00:13:54.642
  • Living for the crowd or living for one,
  • 00:13:54.642 --> 00:13:57.211
  • For the audience of one, amen?
  • 00:13:57.211 --> 00:13:59.847
  • It's much more peaceful as opposed to trying to please men.
  • 00:13:59.847 --> 00:14:04.385
  • It's a bondage to please men.
  • 00:14:04.385 --> 00:14:07.155
  • You fear their opinion.
  • 00:14:07.155 --> 00:14:08.790
  • You fear what they will say.
  • 00:14:08.790 --> 00:14:10.124
  • "the fear of man brings a snare," the bible says.
  • 00:14:10.124 --> 00:14:13.061
  • "whoever trusteth in the lord is safe."
  • 00:14:13.061 --> 00:14:16.531
  • So everything in your life, just like joseph's life,
  • 00:14:16.531 --> 00:14:19.968
  • You know, if he wasn't sold to egypt,
  • 00:14:19.968 --> 00:14:24.339
  • He would not end up in potiphar's house.
  • 00:14:24.339 --> 00:14:27.208
  • If he was not lied about, he would not end up
  • 00:14:27.208 --> 00:14:29.510
  • In the prison where he interpreted
  • 00:14:29.510 --> 00:14:31.879
  • The dream of the butler.
  • 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.215
  • And that became the stepping stone for him
  • 00:14:34.215 --> 00:14:37.285
  • To be in the palace of pharaoh.
  • 00:14:37.285 --> 00:14:43.224
  • If pharaoh had not had that dream,
  • 00:14:43.224 --> 00:14:46.361
  • He would not see the need for joseph's gift.
  • 00:14:46.361 --> 00:14:50.331
  • Everything is working together for joseph.
  • 00:14:50.331 --> 00:14:54.002
  • But not everything is of god.
  • 00:14:54.002 --> 00:14:57.171
  • But everything working for good is of god.
  • 00:14:57.171 --> 00:15:01.175
  • God is orchestrating everything.
  • 00:15:01.175 --> 00:15:03.077
  • He is synergizing everything to work for joseph's good
  • 00:15:03.077 --> 00:15:07.415
  • Until one day, joseph stood before his brothers,
  • 00:15:07.415 --> 00:15:10.518
  • And they saw the good that god has done in his life.
  • 00:15:10.518 --> 00:15:13.888
  • And this is what he told them.
  • 00:15:13.888 --> 00:15:15.289
  • And they were so afraid that he might, you know,
  • 00:15:15.289 --> 00:15:17.291
  • Execute vengeance on them.
  • 00:15:17.291 --> 00:15:18.760
  • And this is what he says, "you meant evil against me,
  • 00:15:18.760 --> 00:15:22.663
  • But god meant it for good."
  • 00:15:22.663 --> 00:15:25.133
  • And he brought them all near him.
  • 00:15:25.133 --> 00:15:26.968
  • With all the power that he has--and he was the most
  • 00:15:26.968 --> 00:15:29.037
  • Powerful man besides pharaoh in that day and age.
  • 00:15:29.037 --> 00:15:33.107
  • With all the power he has to execute vengeance on them,
  • 00:15:33.107 --> 00:15:35.977
  • What did he do with all the power?
  • 00:15:35.977 --> 00:15:37.478
  • He forgave them.
  • 00:15:37.478 --> 00:15:38.913
  • And with that power, he drew them near to him.
  • 00:15:38.913 --> 00:15:41.649
  • And he says to them, with the power in his mouth that he has,
  • 00:15:41.649 --> 00:15:46.354
  • He uses that to say, "i'll provide for you
  • 00:15:46.354 --> 00:15:49.323
  • And your little ones."
  • 00:15:49.323 --> 00:15:50.825
  • No vengeance in his heart.
  • 00:15:50.825 --> 00:15:52.393
  • And this is our heavenly joseph, our lord jesus today.
  • 00:15:52.393 --> 00:15:55.630
  • And the story of joseph is like the story of jesus, right?
  • 00:15:55.630 --> 00:15:59.867
  • Joseph reminds me of jesus.
  • 00:15:59.867 --> 00:16:01.969
  • Rejected by his brothers, loved by his father.
  • 00:16:01.969 --> 00:16:05.173
  • So is our heavenly joseph, our lord jesus?
  • 00:16:05.173 --> 00:16:07.775
  • Rejected by the jewish brothers, but loved by his father dearly.
  • 00:16:07.775 --> 00:16:11.946
  • He came as the bread of life and he became the bread of life to
  • 00:16:11.946 --> 00:16:16.951
  • The gentile world because his jewish brothers rejected him.
  • 00:16:16.951 --> 00:16:20.588
  • And he became the bread of life for 2000 years.
  • 00:16:20.588 --> 00:16:22.557
  • So likewise, joseph became the bread of life to egypt,
  • 00:16:22.557 --> 00:16:26.828
  • The gentile world, whereas his father's house
  • 00:16:26.828 --> 00:16:30.698
  • Was languishing until they would see him
  • 00:16:30.698 --> 00:16:34.936
  • Face to face and he would provide for them.
  • 00:16:34.936 --> 00:16:37.205
  • And this is going to happen
  • 00:16:37.205 --> 00:16:38.539
  • In the second coming of jesus, right?
  • 00:16:38.539 --> 00:16:40.074
  • The first coming, he came as savior,
  • 00:16:40.074 --> 00:16:41.876
  • Came as the lamb of god, lowly, humble.
  • 00:16:41.876 --> 00:16:45.113
  • But in the second coming, he's gonna come
  • 00:16:45.113 --> 00:16:47.381
  • As the glorious king of israel.
  • 00:16:47.381 --> 00:16:49.750
  • King of kings and lord of lords, hallelujah.
  • 00:16:49.750 --> 00:16:53.054
  • Praise the name of jesus.
  • 00:16:53.054 --> 00:16:54.689
  • And the story of joseph is so beautiful, so much like jesus.
  • 00:16:54.689 --> 00:16:59.694
  • So all things are working together for good to them that
  • 00:16:59.694 --> 00:17:03.731
  • Love god, to them who are called according to his purpose.
  • 00:17:03.731 --> 00:17:07.368
  • And his purpose is to cause all these things to work
  • 00:17:07.368 --> 00:17:09.637
  • For your good, to cause you to end up
  • 00:17:09.637 --> 00:17:12.206
  • Looking, sounding, like jesus.
  • 00:17:12.206 --> 00:17:16.177
  • And as he is, so are we.
  • 00:17:16.177 --> 00:17:18.179
  • So i begin to see the physical aspect of it.
  • 00:17:18.179 --> 00:17:20.014
  • What about our bodies?
  • 00:17:20.014 --> 00:17:22.083
  • Amen, i began declaring, "as jesus is healthy,
  • 00:17:22.083 --> 00:17:27.088
  • So am i healthy in this world."
  • 00:17:27.088 --> 00:17:30.958
  • As jesus is free from every disease right now.
  • 00:17:30.958 --> 00:17:33.995
  • Because at one time at the cross,
  • 00:17:33.995 --> 00:17:35.596
  • He bore our diseases in his body.
  • 00:17:35.596 --> 00:17:39.167
  • But now he is free from it.
  • 00:17:39.167 --> 00:17:41.536
  • "as he is free from them, so am i free from sickness
  • 00:17:41.536 --> 00:17:45.573
  • And disease in this world."
  • 00:17:45.573 --> 00:17:47.441
  • Now, the pain might be there.
  • 00:17:47.441 --> 00:17:49.477
  • The pain might be screaming.
  • 00:17:49.477 --> 00:17:50.811
  • But what i'm doing is exactly what 2 corinthians 3 tells us:
  • 00:17:50.811 --> 00:17:55.116
  • "we all, with open face, unveiled face,
  • 00:17:55.116 --> 00:17:58.052
  • Beholding as in a glass the glory of the lord,
  • 00:17:58.052 --> 00:18:02.089
  • We are being transformed into the same image
  • 00:18:02.089 --> 00:18:05.826
  • From glory to glory."
  • 00:18:05.826 --> 00:18:07.295
  • Not by our efforts, but by the spirit of the lord.
  • 00:18:07.295 --> 00:18:10.731
  • In other words, when you have a image of jesus
  • 00:18:11.732 --> 00:18:16.003
  • Which is based on eternal fact,
  • 00:18:16.003 --> 00:18:18.940
  • Eternal truth, he's there in heaven.
  • 00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:21.075
  • But when you have a--when you see him there,
  • 00:18:21.075 --> 00:18:23.277
  • This hazon vision.
  • 00:18:23.277 --> 00:18:24.612
  • When you see him, the bible says,
  • 00:18:24.612 --> 00:18:26.113
  • We are all transformed by beholding him.
  • 00:18:26.113 --> 00:18:29.884
  • Remember peter?
  • 00:18:29.884 --> 00:18:31.652
  • When peter was in the boat, it was a stormy night
  • 00:18:31.652 --> 00:18:33.354
  • And they saw jesus and peter was the only one
  • 00:18:33.354 --> 00:18:37.391
  • That shouted, "lord, if it's you,
  • 00:18:37.391 --> 00:18:39.727
  • Bid me come on the water."
  • 00:18:39.727 --> 00:18:41.963
  • And he saw jesus walking on the water, amen.
  • 00:18:41.963 --> 00:18:44.098
  • He was walking real cool, you know,
  • 00:18:44.098 --> 00:18:46.801
  • Walk above the storm, hallelujah.
  • 00:18:46.801 --> 00:18:48.636
  • It reminded them of the psalm that says:
  • 00:18:48.636 --> 00:18:51.839
  • "the lord on high is far above the waters."
  • 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:55.276
  • And jesus walked on the water, amen.
  • 00:18:55.276 --> 00:18:57.378
  • And peter says, "lord, if it's you, bid me come."
  • 00:18:57.378 --> 00:19:00.114
  • And jesus says one word: "come."
  • 00:19:00.114 --> 00:19:02.149
  • There's enough power in that word, hallelujah,
  • 00:19:02.149 --> 00:19:05.886
  • To cause that miracle to happen to peter.
  • 00:19:05.886 --> 00:19:08.689
  • Peter stepped up and the bible says he looked at jesus
  • 00:19:08.689 --> 00:19:12.126
  • And he started walking towards the lord.
  • 00:19:12.126 --> 00:19:15.129
  • Now he's above his circumstance.
  • 00:19:15.129 --> 00:19:17.198
  • At one moment, he was afraid of the waters,
  • 00:19:17.198 --> 00:19:19.267
  • Of being under the waters,
  • 00:19:19.267 --> 00:19:20.935
  • Being drowned, being engulfed by the waters.
  • 00:19:20.935 --> 00:19:23.471
  • But now he is above his fear.
  • 00:19:23.471 --> 00:19:26.407
  • He is now above his dire circumstance.
  • 00:19:26.407 --> 00:19:29.543
  • He is above his problem.
  • 00:19:29.543 --> 00:19:32.913
  • And he look at jesus.
  • 00:19:32.913 --> 00:19:34.282
  • As long as his eye was on jesus, he was above the storm,
  • 00:19:34.282 --> 00:19:38.052
  • As jesus at that moment is above the storm.
  • 00:19:38.052 --> 00:19:42.390
  • As jesus transcended the waves, so peter walk like jesus walk.
  • 00:19:42.390 --> 00:19:49.030
  • And that's the secret of our walk on earth.
  • 00:19:49.030 --> 00:19:51.332
  • A walk that pleases him is to see him, amen.
  • 00:19:51.332 --> 00:19:54.568
  • And when he saw jesus, he became like jesus.
  • 00:19:54.568 --> 00:19:58.639
  • So you see 2 corinthians 3 going into effect here.
  • 00:19:58.639 --> 00:20:02.343
  • Being transformed into the same image.
  • 00:20:02.343 --> 00:20:04.745
  • Was it peter making himself buoyant?
  • 00:20:04.745 --> 00:20:06.814
  • Was it peter making himself to be above the storm?
  • 00:20:06.814 --> 00:20:09.984
  • No, it's the holy spirit.
  • 00:20:09.984 --> 00:20:11.886
  • The holy spirit.
  • 00:20:11.886 --> 00:20:13.354
  • The bible says in 2 corinthians 3,
  • 00:20:13.354 --> 00:20:14.889
  • When we behold him,
  • 00:20:14.889 --> 00:20:16.357
  • He transforms us into the same image, amen?
  • 00:20:16.357 --> 00:20:20.328
  • Not by our efforts.
  • 00:20:20.328 --> 00:20:21.829
  • From glory to glory.
  • 00:20:21.829 --> 00:20:23.397
  • As we behold him, he transforms us from glory,
  • 00:20:23.397 --> 00:20:26.367
  • From one level of glory to another level of glory,
  • 00:20:26.367 --> 00:20:29.136
  • To another level of glory, until you end up
  • 00:20:29.136 --> 00:20:34.642
  • Just like jesus.
  • 00:20:34.642 --> 00:20:37.178
  • And then the bible says,
  • 00:20:37.178 --> 00:20:38.713
  • He starts hearing the howling winds.
  • 00:20:38.713 --> 00:20:40.915
  • The devil starts blowing the winds louder.
  • 00:20:40.915 --> 00:20:43.250
  • In the first place, what has the winds got to do with you
  • 00:20:43.250 --> 00:20:45.586
  • Walking on the water, right?
  • 00:20:45.586 --> 00:20:48.656
  • I mean, if you fear the winds, does that help you?
  • 00:20:48.656 --> 00:20:51.959
  • I mean, looking at the storms and all that,
  • 00:20:51.959 --> 00:20:53.994
  • In the first place, they were there.
  • 00:20:53.994 --> 00:20:55.563
  • That's the reason why he was afraid.
  • 00:20:55.563 --> 00:20:57.331
  • But just as the devil increased the velocity of the sound
  • 00:20:57.331 --> 00:21:00.801
  • And all that, he began
  • 00:21:00.801 --> 00:21:02.136
  • To take his eyes off jesus.
  • 00:21:02.136 --> 00:21:05.806
  • Whatever happens, my friend,
  • 00:21:05.806 --> 00:21:07.942
  • Thank god for all the ministries that put your eye on jesus,
  • 00:21:07.942 --> 00:21:12.913
  • That unveiled jesus,
  • 00:21:12.913 --> 00:21:15.116
  • A hazon vision of jesus's ministry.
  • 00:21:15.116 --> 00:21:18.452
  • That's what we need today.
  • 00:21:18.452 --> 00:21:19.987
  • And god is raising multitudes around the world.
  • 00:21:19.987 --> 00:21:22.356
  • Tune in to them when they preach on jesus.
  • 00:21:22.356 --> 00:21:25.226
  • Because it's not just a preaching, it's a revelation,
  • 00:21:25.226 --> 00:21:27.762
  • A vision that you are receiving.
  • 00:21:27.762 --> 00:21:29.397
  • And when you receive that vision,
  • 00:21:29.397 --> 00:21:31.198
  • You are being transformed into the same image, hallelujah.
  • 00:21:31.198 --> 00:21:37.505
  • But alas, peter took his eyes off jesus, look at the storm,
  • 00:21:37.505 --> 00:21:40.941
  • Look at the winds, and what happened?
  • 00:21:40.941 --> 00:21:42.576
  • He began to sink.
  • 00:21:42.576 --> 00:21:45.045
  • He became natural.
  • 00:21:45.045 --> 00:21:47.014
  • No more "as he is in this world."
  • 00:21:47.014 --> 00:21:52.119
  • Just a few moments, he was there.
  • 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:54.021
  • He was as jesus is in this world.
  • 00:21:54.021 --> 00:21:57.158
  • But he began to sink because he took his eyes off jesus.
  • 00:21:57.158 --> 00:21:59.693
  • The only power you have, child of god,
  • 00:21:59.693 --> 00:22:01.762
  • Is to keep your eye on jesus.
  • 00:22:01.762 --> 00:22:04.598
  • ♪ keep the son in your eyes ♪
  • 00:22:04.598 --> 00:22:08.636
  • ♪ keep his light shining through ♪
  • 00:22:08.636 --> 00:22:13.140
  • ♪ keep your eyes on jesus ♪
  • 00:22:13.140 --> 00:22:18.412
  • ♪ for he keeps his eyes on you ♪♪
  • 00:22:18.412 --> 00:22:25.953
  • Amen.
  • 00:22:25.953 --> 00:22:27.288
  • Do you know that he's keeping his eyes on you?
  • 00:22:27.288 --> 00:22:28.656
  • So even, you know, the good thing
  • 00:22:28.656 --> 00:22:30.024
  • Is that even when peter took his eyes off jesus,
  • 00:22:30.024 --> 00:22:33.260
  • Jesus never did.
  • 00:22:33.260 --> 00:22:35.329
  • He kept his eyes on peter.
  • 00:22:35.329 --> 00:22:37.064
  • And peter yelled, "lord!"
  • 00:22:37.064 --> 00:22:38.532
  • And the lord stretched out and grabbed peter, hallelujah.
  • 00:22:38.532 --> 00:22:44.038
  • But the lesson learned here is this:
  • 00:22:44.038 --> 00:22:46.540
  • Don't take your eyes off jesus.
  • 00:22:46.540 --> 00:22:48.909
  • How do we see jesus today?
  • 00:22:48.909 --> 00:22:50.411
  • We see him in the word, amen.
  • 00:22:50.411 --> 00:22:52.413
  • We see him in the preaching about him.
  • 00:22:52.413 --> 00:22:55.182
  • That's why we need to preach jesus.
  • 00:22:55.182 --> 00:22:56.851
  • We don't preach ourselves.
  • 00:22:56.851 --> 00:22:58.285
  • We preach jesus.
