  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.887
  • Joseph prince: the ark is god's best holy furniture
  • 00:00:13.123 --> 00:00:19.562
  • In the tabernacle
  • 00:00:19.696 --> 00:00:20.897
  • To portray the person and the work
  • 00:00:21.030 --> 00:00:23.266
  • Of our lord jesus christ.
  • 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:23.833
  • Now, some of you are asking, "why is it so important for us
  • 00:00:25.335 --> 00:00:27.504
  • To see jesus?
  • 00:00:27.504 --> 00:00:28.838
  • What has that got to do with my marriage?
  • 00:00:28.838 --> 00:00:31.174
  • What has seeing jesus got to do with my financial life?
  • 00:00:31.174 --> 00:00:34.711
  • What has that got to do with my career, my ministry,
  • 00:00:34.711 --> 00:00:37.347
  • My calling?
  • 00:00:37.347 --> 00:00:38.681
  • What has that got to do with me parenting?
  • 00:00:38.681 --> 00:00:40.717
  • It's got everything to do and more.
  • 00:00:40.717 --> 00:00:42.886
  • Not only for this life, but for the life to come, amen.
  • 00:00:42.886 --> 00:00:46.189
  • It gives you a perspective.
  • 00:00:46.189 --> 00:00:48.458
  • Doesn't mean that god does something
  • 00:00:48.458 --> 00:00:49.859
  • Or gives you a miracle all the time,
  • 00:00:49.859 --> 00:00:51.461
  • But sometimes god gives you wisdom
  • 00:00:51.461 --> 00:00:53.563
  • To see what's going on in the world, for example,
  • 00:00:53.563 --> 00:00:56.699
  • So that you do not despair like people of the world.
  • 00:00:56.699 --> 00:00:58.968
  • When god's eyes sees blood, innocent blood,
  • 00:00:58.968 --> 00:01:01.538
  • His son's blood, god cannot see beyond the blood to your sin.
  • 00:01:01.538 --> 00:01:04.974
  • There's one thing god's eyes cannot penetrate:
  • 00:01:04.974 --> 00:01:06.876
  • His son's blood.
  • 00:01:06.876 --> 00:01:09.045
  • So our eyes today must be fixed, not on the ten commandments,
  • 00:01:09.045 --> 00:01:14.083
  • Not on the elements of rebellion,
  • 00:01:14.083 --> 00:01:16.553
  • But our eyes must be transfixed where the eyes of the cherubim
  • 00:01:16.553 --> 00:01:19.856
  • That represent god's eyes are fixed.
  • 00:01:19.856 --> 00:01:22.425
  • God looks at the blood, we look at the blood.
  • 00:01:22.425 --> 00:01:25.828
  • When we come to god in worship, in praise,
  • 00:01:25.828 --> 00:01:27.997
  • We look at the blood.
  • 00:01:27.997 --> 00:01:29.332
  • The devil wants you to look at your faults.
  • 00:01:29.332 --> 00:01:31.167
  • The devil wants you to look at your thoughts.
  • 00:01:31.167 --> 00:01:33.469
  • Look at what you thought to yourself just now
  • 00:01:33.469 --> 00:01:35.238
  • About this person, that person,
  • 00:01:35.238 --> 00:01:36.573
  • When you came in, you saw this person,
  • 00:01:36.573 --> 00:01:37.907
  • And you had this thought, this bad thought.
  • 00:01:37.907 --> 00:01:39.275
  • Look at your emotions.
  • 00:01:39.275 --> 00:01:41.077
  • How can you feel this way during praise and worship?
  • 00:01:41.077 --> 00:01:43.813
  • He was always pointing you to yourself,
  • 00:01:43.813 --> 00:01:45.248
  • But god wants you to look at the blood.
  • 00:01:45.248 --> 00:01:47.250
  • Let your eyes see what god's eyes sees,
  • 00:01:47.250 --> 00:01:49.752
  • The blood of jesus.
  • 00:01:49.752 --> 00:01:51.888
  • Male announcer: does reading the bible feel difficult
  • 00:01:51.955 --> 00:01:54.023
  • Or confusing?
  • 00:01:54.023 --> 00:01:55.491
  • What if you read it as a love letter from god
  • 00:01:55.491 --> 00:01:57.794
  • Written just for you?
  • 00:01:57.794 --> 00:01:59.862
  • In today's message, joseph reveals
  • 00:01:59.862 --> 00:02:01.764
  • How every page of the bible points to our lord jesus
  • 00:02:01.764 --> 00:02:05.268
  • And the amazing love he has for you and your family.
  • 00:02:05.268 --> 00:02:08.972
  • Have you ever opened the bible looking for answers,
  • 00:02:08.972 --> 00:02:11.541
  • Only to feel confused, overwhelmed, and not quite sure
  • 00:02:11.541 --> 00:02:14.811
  • Where to begin?
  • 00:02:14.811 --> 00:02:16.145
  • What if there's a better way?
  • 00:02:16.145 --> 00:02:17.614
  • Stop looking for answers. start looking for jesus.
  • 00:02:17.614 --> 00:02:21.184

  • 00:02:56.986 --> 00:02:59.389
  • With today's program.
  • 00:02:59.389 --> 00:03:00.757
  • Joseph prince: something good will always happen
  • 00:03:00.823 --> 00:03:03.226
  • When you see our lord jesus, amen?
  • 00:03:03.226 --> 00:03:05.762
  • And the best way to see him is in his word.
  • 00:03:05.762 --> 00:03:08.231
  • So without further ado, let's dive right into the word, amen?
  • 00:03:08.231 --> 00:03:10.833
  • I wanna tell you this: the ark is god's best holy furniture
  • 00:03:10.833 --> 00:03:19.075
  • In the tabernacle
  • 00:03:19.075 --> 00:03:20.410
  • To portray the person and the work
  • 00:03:20.410 --> 00:03:22.812
  • Of our lord jesus christ.
  • 00:03:22.812 --> 00:03:24.847
  • Now, some of you are asking, "why is it so important for us
  • 00:03:24.847 --> 00:03:27.050
  • To see jesus?
  • 00:03:27.050 --> 00:03:28.384
  • What has that got to do with my marriage?
  • 00:03:28.384 --> 00:03:30.586
  • What has seeing jesus got to do with my financial life?
  • 00:03:30.586 --> 00:03:34.257
  • What has that got to do with my career, my ministry,
  • 00:03:34.257 --> 00:03:36.926
  • My calling?
  • 00:03:36.926 --> 00:03:38.261
  • What has that got to do with me parenting, as a parent?"
  • 00:03:38.261 --> 00:03:41.631
  • It's got everything to do and more.
  • 00:03:41.631 --> 00:03:44.200
  • Not only for this life, but for the life to come, amen.
  • 00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:47.470
  • It gives you a perspective.
  • 00:03:47.470 --> 00:03:49.706
  • Doesn't mean that god does something
  • 00:03:49.706 --> 00:03:51.341
  • Or gives you a miracle all the time,
  • 00:03:51.341 --> 00:03:52.775
  • But sometimes god gives you wisdom
  • 00:03:52.775 --> 00:03:54.811
  • To see what's going on in the world, for example,
  • 00:03:54.811 --> 00:03:57.914
  • So that you do not despair like people of the world, amen.
  • 00:03:57.914 --> 00:04:01.718
  • Let's watch this video of how it's made--
  • 00:04:01.718 --> 00:04:04.554
  • The wood and the gold-- and we'll see this.
  • 00:04:04.554 --> 00:04:08.624
  • Acacia wood, incorruptible wood,
  • 00:04:08.624 --> 00:04:11.027
  • A picture of jesus's humanity,
  • 00:04:11.027 --> 00:04:14.163
  • Overlaid with gold, his deity, jesus's person,
  • 00:04:14.163 --> 00:04:18.301
  • 100% god, gold; 100% man, wood.
  • 00:04:18.301 --> 00:04:23.439
  • The staves, also wood and gold.
  • 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.075
  • And then the lid is made of one solid slab of gold, beaten.
  • 00:04:26.075 --> 00:04:30.813
  • And this is the work of jesus because every year
  • 00:04:30.813 --> 00:04:33.216
  • During yom kippur, blood is put on the mercy seat.
  • 00:04:33.216 --> 00:04:37.854
  • All right, this is the mercy seat.
  • 00:04:37.854 --> 00:04:39.188
  • Say "mercy seat."
  • 00:04:39.188 --> 00:04:40.556
  • The crown represents the kingly work
  • 00:04:40.556 --> 00:04:42.425
  • Of our lord jesus christ.
  • 00:04:42.425 --> 00:04:43.826
  • There's a crown around the mercy seat.
  • 00:04:43.826 --> 00:04:45.995
  • The two cherubim represents god's judicial righteousness
  • 00:04:45.995 --> 00:04:48.731
  • Because the first time cherubim is mentioned,
  • 00:04:48.731 --> 00:04:52.335
  • It says that they stood guard,
  • 00:04:52.335 --> 00:04:55.204
  • All right, over god's holiness
  • 00:04:55.204 --> 00:04:57.006
  • And righteousness and forbid adam and eve
  • 00:04:57.006 --> 00:05:00.376
  • Or any other person from then on to come in into paradise.
  • 00:05:00.376 --> 00:05:03.913
  • So they are guardians of god's righteousness,
  • 00:05:03.913 --> 00:05:05.481
  • But once a year when blood is placed here, amen--
  • 00:05:05.481 --> 00:05:10.686
  • Notice the gaze of the cherubim--
  • 00:05:10.686 --> 00:05:12.221
  • They look at the blood.
  • 00:05:12.221 --> 00:05:14.557
  • So what's inside the chest, inside the ark?
  • 00:05:14.557 --> 00:05:18.795
  • We all want to know ever since "raiders of the lost ark,"
  • 00:05:18.795 --> 00:05:22.064
  • Harrison ford, okay.
  • 00:05:22.064 --> 00:05:24.467
  • I mean, at least he knows enough not to look into the ark,
  • 00:05:24.467 --> 00:05:27.403
  • But it's not as horrible as they make it out to be.
  • 00:05:27.403 --> 00:05:30.339
  • It's glorious, amen?
  • 00:05:30.339 --> 00:05:32.275
  • These are the three items that came out of the ark.
  • 00:05:32.275 --> 00:05:34.877
  • I'm gonna show you a video right now, okay?
  • 00:05:34.877 --> 00:05:37.246
  • So first, you have golden pot of manna,
  • 00:05:37.246 --> 00:05:40.783
  • Aaron's rod that budded, and the two stones, all right?
  • 00:05:40.783 --> 00:05:47.557
  • It's a firestone.
  • 00:05:47.557 --> 00:05:49.425
  • Now, all these three items, by the way, the main feature
  • 00:05:49.425 --> 00:05:53.496
  • Are the ten commandments on the two stones,
  • 00:05:53.496 --> 00:05:56.632
  • Five words, five words, ten commandments,
  • 00:05:56.632 --> 00:05:59.936
  • And the ark of the covenant of the lord
  • 00:05:59.936 --> 00:06:03.873
  • Is also known at times as the ark of testimony.
  • 00:06:03.873 --> 00:06:07.477
  • Testimony because-- the testimony refers to
  • 00:06:07.477 --> 00:06:10.079
  • The ten commandments, all right?
  • 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.747
  • It's called the ten commandments,
  • 00:06:11.747 --> 00:06:13.816
  • Or the testimony of the lord.
  • 00:06:13.816 --> 00:06:16.118
  • Okay, let me explain that the ark
  • 00:06:16.118 --> 00:06:18.254
  • Is actually named after the ten commandments.
  • 00:06:18.254 --> 00:06:21.424
  • In other words, the ten commandments
  • 00:06:21.424 --> 00:06:22.758
  • Is placed in the ark.
  • 00:06:22.758 --> 00:06:24.126
  • Only jesus-- i said only jesus as man--
  • 00:06:24.126 --> 00:06:28.231
  • Even solomon failed.
  • 00:06:28.231 --> 00:06:29.565
  • Only jesus fulfilled god's law.
  • 00:06:29.565 --> 00:06:33.302
  • So if you are in christ, god gives you an a-plus
  • 00:06:33.302 --> 00:06:36.105
  • For law keeping.
  • 00:06:36.105 --> 00:06:37.507
  • Do you understand?
  • 00:06:37.507 --> 00:06:38.841
  • But know this: no man can keep god's law,
  • 00:06:38.841 --> 00:06:41.444
  • And the law was not given to show men his--
  • 00:06:41.444 --> 00:06:45.715
  • How men can obtain righteousness.
  • 00:06:45.715 --> 00:06:48.050
  • It was given to show men's sinfulness.
  • 00:06:48.050 --> 00:06:51.587
  • I'm amazed sometimes the very thing that god--
  • 00:06:51.587 --> 00:06:53.856
  • The very thing that god gave to man,
  • 00:06:53.856 --> 00:06:55.925
  • The ten commandments, to show men's sinfulness,
  • 00:06:55.925 --> 00:06:57.960
  • For by the law is the knowledge of sin,
  • 00:06:57.960 --> 00:06:59.562
  • Man is trying to use to show his righteousness,
  • 00:06:59.562 --> 00:07:03.266
  • Even today.
  • 00:07:03.266 --> 00:07:04.800
  • It's not designed for that.
  • 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:06.135
  • Does that mean that we have a lesser morality?
  • 00:07:06.135 --> 00:07:08.704
  • No, our morality is moral excellence.
  • 00:07:08.704 --> 00:07:11.574
  • When you look at jesus, you are being transformed
  • 00:07:11.574 --> 00:07:13.943
  • Into the very same image from glory to glory, amen.
  • 00:07:13.943 --> 00:07:17.747
  • Not only you don't steal-- the law says don't steal.
  • 00:07:17.747 --> 00:07:21.183
  • No, you will give, and you will give
  • 00:07:21.183 --> 00:07:23.286
  • To people who don't even deserve it.
  • 00:07:23.286 --> 00:07:24.954
  • So, the very thing that the law cannot do,
  • 00:07:24.954 --> 00:07:29.225
  • Grace will give you the impartation.
  • 00:07:29.225 --> 00:07:32.662
  • You know what i'm saying? to more than fulfill the law.
  • 00:07:32.662 --> 00:07:36.432
  • In fact, it says like this: that the righteousness,
  • 00:07:36.432 --> 00:07:38.701
  • When you follow after the spirit,
  • 00:07:38.701 --> 00:07:40.336
  • When you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law.
  • 00:07:40.336 --> 00:07:43.039
  • What does that mean?
  • 00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:44.373
  • When you follow the spirit, all right,
  • 00:07:44.373 --> 00:07:46.008
  • Even the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in you,
  • 00:07:46.008 --> 00:07:49.211
  • Not by you.
  • 00:07:49.211 --> 00:07:50.546
  • Read carefully, romans 8.
  • 00:07:50.546 --> 00:07:51.881
  • It is not fulfilled by you,
  • 00:07:51.881 --> 00:07:53.215
  • As if you are responsible to keep it.
  • 00:07:53.215 --> 00:07:55.651
  • No, it is fulfilled in you, passive.
  • 00:07:55.651 --> 00:07:59.655
  • All right? the voice there is passive.
  • 00:07:59.655 --> 00:08:02.024
  • That means the holy spirit fulfills it in you
  • 00:08:02.024 --> 00:08:03.859
  • As you follow after him, as you allow yourself
  • 00:08:03.859 --> 00:08:06.095
  • To be led by him.
  • 00:08:06.095 --> 00:08:07.430
  • Can i have a good amen? amen?
  • 00:08:07.430 --> 00:08:09.599
  • So, we don't go by the ten commandments,
  • 00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:12.668
  • We go by the spirit.
  • 00:08:12.668 --> 00:08:14.470
  • The lord doesn't understand doing your best.
  • 00:08:14.470 --> 00:08:17.506
  • The law does not grade under the--on the curve,
  • 00:08:17.506 --> 00:08:19.875
  • All right?
  • 00:08:19.875 --> 00:08:21.210
  • He don't--they don't.
  • 00:08:21.210 --> 00:08:22.545
  • The law, the ten commandments, only know one thing: do or die.
  • 00:08:22.545 --> 00:08:27.049
  • So when you put yourself under the law,
  • 00:08:27.049 --> 00:08:29.285
  • Most of the time you end up under the curse.
  • 00:08:29.285 --> 00:08:31.988
  • Because yes, you are blessed if you obey,
  • 00:08:31.988 --> 00:08:33.923
  • But then by the same token, if you disobey one,
  • 00:08:33.923 --> 00:08:36.225
  • James chapter 2, you're not guilty
  • 00:08:36.225 --> 00:08:38.527
  • Of the one you disobeyed; you are guilty of all.
  • 00:08:38.527 --> 00:08:41.797
  • So the only safe place, jesus says,
  • 00:08:41.797 --> 00:08:43.399
  • "thy law is within my heart," the ten commandments,
  • 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:47.637
  • Is in the ark, and god says never bring it out.
  • 00:08:47.637 --> 00:08:50.606
  • So the other two items, golden pot of manna.
  • 00:08:50.606 --> 00:08:53.476
  • They murmured, god rained bread, amen?
  • 00:08:53.476 --> 00:08:55.945
  • Murmuring is sin.
  • 00:08:55.945 --> 00:08:57.279
  • They murmured against god's appointed
  • 00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:58.814
  • To a high priest, and aaron's rod budded
  • 00:08:58.814 --> 00:09:01.884
  • To stop their murmuring.
  • 00:09:01.884 --> 00:09:03.219
  • So all these three elements represent men's rebellion,
  • 00:09:03.219 --> 00:09:05.554
  • And god says, "put them all in the ark."
  • 00:09:05.554 --> 00:09:08.591
  • And once a year, the high priest
  • 00:09:08.591 --> 00:09:11.994
  • Enters the holy of holies, the kodesh hakodashim
  • 00:09:11.994 --> 00:09:14.764
  • In hebrew-- the holy of holies,
  • 00:09:14.764 --> 00:09:16.098
  • And sprinkles blood.
  • 00:09:16.098 --> 00:09:17.700
  • And when he sprinkles blood, notice the gaze of the cherubim.
  • 00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:20.970
  • The cherubim's gaze is fixed on the blood.
  • 00:09:20.970 --> 00:09:24.707
  • So this time they're not fixed on men's rebellion against god,
  • 00:09:24.707 --> 00:09:29.111
  • Where they have to produce judgment,
  • 00:09:29.111 --> 00:09:30.746
  • Like in the garden of eden, they hold the sword, all right?
  • 00:09:30.746 --> 00:09:33.616
  • Now their eyes are fixed, transfixed on the blood.
  • 00:09:33.616 --> 00:09:38.154
  • In other words, they represent god's judicial righteousness.
  • 00:09:38.154 --> 00:09:41.624
  • When god's eyes sees blood, innocent blood,
  • 00:09:41.624 --> 00:09:44.193
  • His son's blood, god cannot see beyond the blood to your sin.
  • 00:09:44.193 --> 00:09:48.764
  • There's one thing god's eyes cannot penetrate,
  • 00:09:48.764 --> 00:09:50.766
  • Only one thing: his son's blood.
  • 00:09:50.766 --> 00:09:54.437
  • So our eyes today must be fixed, not on the ten commandments,
  • 00:09:54.437 --> 00:09:59.475
  • Not on the elements of rebellion,
  • 00:09:59.475 --> 00:10:01.944
  • But our eyes must be transfixed where the eyes of the cherubim
  • 00:10:01.944 --> 00:10:05.247
  • That represent god's eyes are fixed.
  • 00:10:05.247 --> 00:10:07.817
  • God looks at the blood, we look at the blood.
  • 00:10:07.817 --> 00:10:11.220
  • When we come to god in worship, in praise,
  • 00:10:11.220 --> 00:10:13.389
  • We look at the blood.
  • 00:10:13.389 --> 00:10:14.724
  • The devil wants you to look at your faults.
  • 00:10:14.724 --> 00:10:16.559
  • The devil wants you to look at your thoughts.
  • 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.894
  • Look at your thoughts just now.
  • 00:10:18.894 --> 00:10:20.996
  • Look at what you thought to yourself just now
  • 00:10:20.996 --> 00:10:23.165
  • About this person, that person,
  • 00:10:23.165 --> 00:10:24.500
  • When you came in, you saw this person,
  • 00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:25.835
  • And you had this thought, this bad thought.
  • 00:10:25.835 --> 00:10:27.403
  • Look at your emotions.
  • 00:10:27.403 --> 00:10:29.205
  • How can you feel this way during praise and worship?
  • 00:10:29.205 --> 00:10:31.941
  • He was always pointing you to yourself,
  • 00:10:31.941 --> 00:10:33.375
  • But god wants you to look at the blood.
  • 00:10:33.375 --> 00:10:35.377
  • Let your eyes see what god's eyes sees,
  • 00:10:35.377 --> 00:10:37.880
  • The blood of jesus.
  • 00:10:37.880 --> 00:10:39.582
  • So, we look at the ark of the covenant,
  • 00:10:39.582 --> 00:10:42.017
  • And it doesn't really matter--
  • 00:10:42.017 --> 00:10:43.486
  • You know, there's a lot of conjectures now,
  • 00:10:43.486 --> 00:10:44.820
  • Where is the ark?
  • 00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:46.789
  • Some say in utopia, all right?
  • 00:10:46.789 --> 00:10:49.592
  • Some say in washington, storehouse somewhere,
  • 00:10:49.592 --> 00:10:52.762
  • Because of "raiders of the lost ark," all right?
  • 00:10:52.762 --> 00:10:55.397
  • Some say, you know, it is in the temple mount
  • 00:10:55.397 --> 00:10:57.733
  • Underneath somewhere.
  • 00:10:57.733 --> 00:10:59.068
  • It doesn't really matter. it doesn't really matter.
  • 00:10:59.068 --> 00:11:01.203
  • Do not get caught up with the ark, per se.
  • 00:11:01.203 --> 00:11:05.641
  • But, you know, don't get caught up with the shadow.
  • 00:11:05.641 --> 00:11:08.377
  • Get caught up with the substance, amen?
  • 00:11:08.377 --> 00:11:11.347
  • This is a type, but jesus christ
  • 00:11:11.347 --> 00:11:13.516
  • And his work is the anti-type.
  • 00:11:13.516 --> 00:11:16.185
  • The wood and the gold, his humanity and deity
  • 00:11:16.185 --> 00:11:19.155
  • Is his person,
  • 00:11:19.155 --> 00:11:20.623
  • The mercy seat is his work at the cross.
  • 00:11:20.623 --> 00:11:22.525
  • That's what we need to focus on.
  • 00:11:22.525 --> 00:11:24.493
  • So this is a visual aid to help us understand.
  • 00:11:24.493 --> 00:11:27.329
  • Can i have a good amen? amen?
  • 00:11:27.329 --> 00:11:29.598
  • Now, about the ark, the next thing
  • 00:11:29.598 --> 00:11:32.034
  • You're gonna see is david.
  • 00:11:32.034 --> 00:11:33.469
  • Why was david called a man after god's own heart?
  • 00:11:33.469 --> 00:11:36.105
  • You know, people say david is quick to repent,
  • 00:11:36.105 --> 00:11:37.973
  • But you see there are a lot of other men
  • 00:11:37.973 --> 00:11:39.308
  • Quick to repent.
  • 00:11:39.308 --> 00:11:40.643
  • But god does not call them "a man after my own heart."
  • 00:11:40.643 --> 00:11:43.846
  • But david, god says, "i found a man after my own heart," why?
  • 00:11:43.846 --> 00:11:49.118
  • David had a heart for the ark.
  • 00:11:49.118 --> 00:11:50.953
  • And who is the ark? our lord jesus.
  • 00:11:50.953 --> 00:11:53.322
  • When you have a heart for the ark, god seeks you out.
  • 00:11:53.322 --> 00:11:57.593
  • God will like you.
  • 00:11:57.593 --> 00:11:58.928
  • David says like this-- 1 chronicles 28, yeah--
  • 00:11:58.928 --> 00:12:00.763
  • "howbeit the lord god of israel chose me--"
  • 00:12:00.763 --> 00:12:03.032
  • Let's drop down to this:
  • 00:12:03.032 --> 00:12:04.366
  • "among the sons of my father god liked me.
  • 00:12:04.366 --> 00:12:06.869
  • He liked me to make me king over all israel."
  • 00:12:06.869 --> 00:12:09.839
  • All right, the word is "ratsa," which is like--
  • 00:12:09.839 --> 00:12:11.841
  • Your king james and your new king james
  • 00:12:11.841 --> 00:12:14.076
  • Some version says, "god is pleased with me."
  • 00:12:14.076 --> 00:12:16.245
  • But actually the word "ratsa" is what they use today
  • 00:12:16.245 --> 00:12:18.514
  • For "i like you."
  • 00:12:18.514 --> 00:12:20.082
  • God loves all of us, but some people he likes.
  • 00:12:20.082 --> 00:12:22.885
  • So god liked david.
  • 00:12:22.885 --> 00:12:24.453
  • "among the sons of my father he liked me to make me
  • 00:12:24.453 --> 00:12:26.589
  • King over israel."
  • 00:12:26.589 --> 00:12:27.923
  • So what was in david's heart? psalms 132 tells us the secret.
  • 00:12:27.923 --> 00:12:32.628
  • "david swore to the lord,
  • 00:12:32.628 --> 00:12:34.163
  • And vowed to the mighty one of jacob,
  • 00:12:34.163 --> 00:12:35.497
  • 'surely i will not go into the chamber of my house,
  • 00:12:35.497 --> 00:12:37.433
  • Or go up to the comfort of my bed--'"
  • 00:12:37.433 --> 00:12:39.201
  • This was when he was a young man.
  • 00:12:39.201 --> 00:12:41.036
  • He says this: "i said this, i swore to god.
  • 00:12:41.036 --> 00:12:44.106
  • I made a vow to the mighty god of jacob.
  • 00:12:44.106 --> 00:12:46.175
  • I will not go to the chamber of my house
  • 00:12:46.175 --> 00:12:47.643
  • Or go up to the comfort of my bed.
  • 00:12:47.643 --> 00:12:49.044
  • I will not give sleep to my eyes
  • 00:12:49.044 --> 00:12:50.579
  • Or slumber to my eyelids
  • 00:12:50.579 --> 00:12:52.248
  • Until i find a place for the lord,
  • 00:12:52.248 --> 00:12:54.183
  • A dwelling place for the mighty one of jacob."
  • 00:12:54.183 --> 00:12:56.518
  • "how do you know he's referring to the ark,
  • 00:12:56.518 --> 00:12:57.853
  • Pastor prince?"
  • 00:12:57.853 --> 00:12:59.188
  • Let's read on. "behold, we heard of it."
  • 00:12:59.188 --> 00:13:00.956
  • What is the "it"?
  • 00:13:00.956 --> 00:13:02.358
  • Let me, okay, stop here for a while
  • 00:13:02.358 --> 00:13:03.692
  • And just jump to verse 8.
  • 00:13:03.692 --> 00:13:05.027
  • "arise, o lord, to your resting place,
  • 00:13:05.027 --> 00:13:06.362
  • You and the ark of your strength."
  • 00:13:06.362 --> 00:13:08.697
  • Okay, now go back to verse 6: "behold, we heard of it
  • 00:13:08.697 --> 00:13:11.667
  • In ephrathah," that's bethlehem.
  • 00:13:11.667 --> 00:13:13.836
  • David heard about the ark being in kiriath-jearim.
  • 00:13:13.836 --> 00:13:17.106
  • This place, kiriath-jearim, means the city of the woods,
  • 00:13:17.106 --> 00:13:19.808
  • And it was there for 20 years,
  • 00:13:19.808 --> 00:13:21.443
  • And david, as a young man, david says,
  • 00:13:21.443 --> 00:13:23.379
  • "i heard of it in ephrathah," that's in bethlehem--
  • 00:13:23.379 --> 00:13:25.447
  • Ephrathah, where he was.
  • 00:13:25.447 --> 00:13:28.083
  • And then he says, "we found it in the fields of the woods."
  • 00:13:28.083 --> 00:13:32.321
  • Do you know the word "fields of the woods"?
  • 00:13:32.321 --> 00:13:34.423
  • Your niv and your new king--
  • 00:13:34.423 --> 00:13:36.292
  • Your nasb put it down as the forest of the yaar,
  • 00:13:36.292 --> 00:13:40.629
  • Capital y-a-a-r.
  • 00:13:40.629 --> 00:13:42.298
  • "yaar" means wood.
  • 00:13:42.298 --> 00:13:44.733
  • Kiriath-jearim-- the place where the ark was--
  • 00:13:44.733 --> 00:13:47.269
  • Is, literally, kiriad is city of woods.
  • 00:13:47.269 --> 00:13:52.641
  • 1 samuel 7: then the men of kiriath-jearim,
  • 00:13:52.641 --> 00:13:56.912
  • City of the woods,
  • 00:13:56.912 --> 00:13:58.580
  • Came and took the ark of the lord
  • 00:13:58.580 --> 00:14:00.215
  • And brought it into the house of abinadab.
  • 00:14:00.215 --> 00:14:02.284
  • Now go back again to david saying,
  • 00:14:02.284 --> 00:14:04.987
  • "we found it in the fields of the woods.
  • 00:14:04.987 --> 00:14:06.322
  • We found it in the fields of the woods.
  • 00:14:06.322 --> 00:14:08.290
  • I heard about it in bethlehem, ephrathah,
  • 00:14:08.290 --> 00:14:10.426
  • But we found it," where?
  • 00:14:10.426 --> 00:14:12.494
  • In kiriath-jearim.
  • 00:14:12.494 --> 00:14:13.996
  • Literally, "that place."
  • 00:14:13.996 --> 00:14:16.265
  • Now, about jesus.
  • 00:14:16.265 --> 00:14:17.800
  • When they first heard of jesus in john 1,
  • 00:14:17.800 --> 00:14:20.703
  • By the way, do you know the gospel of john
  • 00:14:20.703 --> 00:14:22.604
  • Is patterned after the tabernacle?
  • 00:14:22.604 --> 00:14:24.506
  • You will see jesus as the ark of the covenant
  • 00:14:24.506 --> 00:14:27.443
  • In the gospel of john more than any other.
  • 00:14:27.443 --> 00:14:30.646
  • Are you listening, people?
  • 00:14:30.646 --> 00:14:31.981
  • Would you like to see the first one, chapter 1,
  • 00:14:31.981 --> 00:14:33.882
  • All right, chapter 1, verse 41:
  • 00:14:33.882 --> 00:14:36.418
  • "he first found his own brother, simon andrew, and said to him,
  • 00:14:36.418 --> 00:14:40.322
  • 'we have found--we found it in kiriath-jearim.
  • 00:14:40.322 --> 00:14:44.093
  • We found him, the messiah,'" which is translated the christ.
  • 00:14:44.093 --> 00:14:47.429
  • Now, who would expect, what does wood represent?
  • 00:14:47.429 --> 00:14:49.531
  • You're smart enough. you're getting wisdom already.
  • 00:14:49.531 --> 00:14:51.100
  • Praise god. you can tell me now.
  • 00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:52.568
  • All right, wood represent what?
  • 00:14:52.568 --> 00:14:53.902
  • Wood represent humanity, mankind.
  • 00:14:53.902 --> 00:14:57.272
  • Who would expect to find the messiah among the woods?
  • 00:14:57.272 --> 00:15:02.478
  • Today, if someone wants to start a religion,
  • 00:15:02.478 --> 00:15:04.947
  • All right, and try to con people, okay,
  • 00:15:04.947 --> 00:15:07.349
  • They'll probably say on a mountaintop somewhere,
  • 00:15:07.349 --> 00:15:09.752
  • In a cave somewhere, you know, something remote and--
  • 00:15:09.752 --> 00:15:12.588
  • But jesus was found among the people.
  • 00:15:12.588 --> 00:15:16.325
  • Though a king, he walked among men, amen?
  • 00:15:16.325 --> 00:15:21.030
  • So we found him.
  • 00:15:21.030 --> 00:15:23.599
  • David says we found it. we found him.
  • 00:15:23.599 --> 00:15:26.235
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:15:26.235 --> 00:15:27.970
  • Thank you, jesus.
  • 00:15:27.970 --> 00:15:29.938
  • Are you blessed seeing jesus?
  • 00:15:29.938 --> 00:15:32.441
  • You know, i studied on this.
  • 00:15:32.441 --> 00:15:34.576
  • And the lord showed me this in the gospel of john.
  • 00:15:34.576 --> 00:15:37.813
  • Look up here, john chapter 8: "now moses,
  • 00:15:37.813 --> 00:15:40.816
  • In the law, commanded us that such should be stoned.
  • 00:15:40.816 --> 00:15:46.255
  • But what do you say?"
  • 00:15:46.255 --> 00:15:50.092
  • Who said that?
  • 00:15:50.092 --> 00:15:51.560
  • The pharisees, they brought a woman caught in adultery,
  • 00:15:51.560 --> 00:15:54.763
  • And they said, "moses, in the law--
  • 00:15:54.763 --> 00:15:56.732
  • This woman was caught in the act of adultery.
  • 00:15:56.732 --> 00:15:58.233
  • Moses, in the law, commanded us that such
  • 00:15:58.233 --> 00:15:59.868
  • Should be stoned, but what do you say?"
  • 00:15:59.868 --> 00:16:01.637
  • So they sound like they are, they are, what?
  • 00:16:01.637 --> 00:16:04.239
  • They are fighters for the law.
  • 00:16:04.239 --> 00:16:06.208
  • They are defenders of the law. am i right?
  • 00:16:06.208 --> 00:16:08.343
  • You know what they're trying to do by this?
  • 00:16:08.343 --> 00:16:10.145
  • They are trying to bring back the law.
  • 00:16:10.145 --> 00:16:11.713
  • They're pushing jesus.
  • 00:16:11.713 --> 00:16:13.048
  • They're trying to push jesus away of the mercy seat.
  • 00:16:13.048 --> 00:16:15.818
  • They're bringing back the law.
  • 00:16:15.818 --> 00:16:17.886
  • This, they say, testing him,
  • 00:16:17.886 --> 00:16:19.221
  • That they might have something of which to accuse him.
  • 00:16:19.221 --> 00:16:21.857
  • That's the whole purpose.
  • 00:16:21.857 --> 00:16:23.459
  • It's not that they care for the law.
  • 00:16:23.459 --> 00:16:27.096
  • But nonetheless, to bring the law
  • 00:16:27.096 --> 00:16:28.530
  • Means they push aside the mercy seat.
  • 00:16:28.530 --> 00:16:30.466
  • Literally, they're pushing jesus,
  • 00:16:30.466 --> 00:16:31.967
  • But jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground
  • 00:16:31.967 --> 00:16:35.003
  • With his finger as though he did not hear.
  • 00:16:35.003 --> 00:16:37.339
  • I've shared this many years ago,
  • 00:16:37.339 --> 00:16:39.141
  • And after that, i just leave it one side
  • 00:16:39.141 --> 00:16:40.476
  • Because it takes a teaching on the ark
  • 00:16:40.476 --> 00:16:43.178
  • And all that to understand this,
  • 00:16:43.178 --> 00:16:44.546
  • And i think you're ready.
  • 00:16:44.546 --> 00:16:45.948
  • Verse 7, "so when they continued asking him,
  • 00:16:45.948 --> 00:16:49.118
  • He raised himself up and said to them,
  • 00:16:49.118 --> 00:16:51.553
  • 'he who is without sin among you, let him throw
  • 00:16:51.553 --> 00:16:54.857
  • A stone at her first,' and again, he stooped down.
  • 00:16:54.857 --> 00:17:02.231
  • Whoa, whoa.
  • 00:17:02.231 --> 00:17:04.733
  • Two stooping down and wrote on the ground,
  • 00:17:04.733 --> 00:17:07.569
  • Second time.
  • 00:17:07.569 --> 00:17:08.904
  • Question, how many times did god write
  • 00:17:08.904 --> 00:17:10.272
  • The ten commandments?
  • 00:17:10.272 --> 00:17:12.541
  • Twice.
  • 00:17:12.541 --> 00:17:14.409
  • God came down the mountain and wrote one time,
  • 00:17:14.409 --> 00:17:18.013
  • Then moses came down the mountain.
  • 00:17:18.013 --> 00:17:19.882
  • Before he can reach at the end of the mountain,
  • 00:17:19.882 --> 00:17:22.317
  • The foot of the mountain,
  • 00:17:22.317 --> 00:17:23.652
  • The people were worshiping the golden calf,
  • 00:17:23.652 --> 00:17:25.988
  • And moses knew better than to bring the law,
  • 00:17:25.988 --> 00:17:29.124
  • All right, unhindered, okay, into the camp
  • 00:17:29.124 --> 00:17:32.761
  • Because it would destroy all those people.
  • 00:17:32.761 --> 00:17:34.963
  • So he broke the ten commandments,
  • 00:17:34.963 --> 00:17:37.232
  • And then god said to moses, another time,
  • 00:17:37.232 --> 00:17:41.303
  • God says after that, you know,
  • 00:17:41.303 --> 00:17:43.238
  • There was judgment on those who worshiped the golden calf
  • 00:17:43.238 --> 00:17:46.441
  • And that, then come back to the mountain,
  • 00:17:46.441 --> 00:17:48.143
  • God says, "i'll give you another set.
  • 00:17:48.143 --> 00:17:50.312
  • But this time put these two tablets of stone
  • 00:17:50.312 --> 00:17:57.586
  • In the ark."
  • 00:17:57.586 --> 00:17:59.922
  • So the second time when he stooped down,
  • 00:17:59.922 --> 00:18:02.157
  • First time he stooped down is pure law.
  • 00:18:02.157 --> 00:18:04.259
  • Second time when he stooped down,
  • 00:18:04.259 --> 00:18:06.195
  • It is grace, hallelujah, hallelujah.
  • 00:18:06.195 --> 00:18:14.736
  • They tried to push aside the mercy seat,
  • 00:18:14.736 --> 00:18:17.372
  • So that the law can act upon that woman.
  • 00:18:17.372 --> 00:18:21.076
  • And by the way, he did it in such a way,
  • 00:18:21.076 --> 00:18:23.545
  • You know, they tried to put the law on the woman,
  • 00:18:23.545 --> 00:18:26.148
  • Jesus put the law on them.
  • 00:18:26.148 --> 00:18:29.351
  • You want to boast about the law?
  • 00:18:29.351 --> 00:18:31.153
  • I'll give you the full light of the law, amen?
  • 00:18:31.153 --> 00:18:34.289
  • He said that "he that's without sin among you,
  • 00:18:34.289 --> 00:18:36.658
  • Let him throw a stone at her first."
  • 00:18:36.658 --> 00:18:38.327
  • He shone the light on them, and the bible says,
  • 00:18:38.327 --> 00:18:40.696
  • "those who heard it," verse 9, "being convicted
  • 00:18:40.696 --> 00:18:42.598
  • By their conscience, went out, and jesus was left alone
  • 00:18:42.598 --> 00:18:46.201
  • And the woman standing in the midst."
  • 00:18:46.201 --> 00:18:49.705
  • Verse 10: "when jesus had raised himself up
  • 00:18:49.705 --> 00:18:52.674
  • And saw no one but the woman, he said to her,
  • 00:18:52.674 --> 00:18:54.977
  • 'woman, where are those accusers of yours?
  • 00:18:54.977 --> 00:18:57.713
  • Has no one condemned you?' she said, 'no one, lord.'
  • 00:18:57.713 --> 00:19:01.917
  • And jesus said to her, 'neither do i condemn you;
  • 00:19:01.917 --> 00:19:04.720
  • Go and sin no more.'"
  • 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:06.188
  • So the power to go and sin no more comes from...
  • 00:19:06.188 --> 00:19:09.958
  • "neither do i condemn you."
  • 00:19:09.958 --> 00:19:11.460
  • There is therefore now no condemnation in christ jesus,
  • 00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:14.696
  • Romans 8:1, and the whole chapter
  • 00:19:14.696 --> 00:19:17.599
  • Is full of victory,
  • 00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:18.934
  • Ends with no separation from the love of god.
  • 00:19:18.934 --> 00:19:23.338
  • It's only when we know there's no condemnation,
  • 00:19:23.338 --> 00:19:25.440
  • We can go and sin no more.
  • 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:28.210
  • That's what this ministry is all about.
  • 00:19:28.210 --> 00:19:29.544
  • People want it the other way, you know,
  • 00:19:29.544 --> 00:19:30.879
  • They want it flipflop again, they want you to go
  • 00:19:30.879 --> 00:19:32.214
  • And sin no more, then we won't condemn you.
  • 00:19:32.214 --> 00:19:35.717
  • No, friend, you cannot do that.
  • 00:19:35.717 --> 00:19:37.586
  • No condemnation is a gift that empowers you to go
  • 00:19:37.586 --> 00:19:40.522
  • And sin no more.
  • 00:19:40.522 --> 00:19:42.057
  • Yes, god wants you to go and sin no more, why?
  • 00:19:42.057 --> 00:19:45.594
  • Sin is destructive. just know this.
  • 00:19:45.594 --> 00:19:47.663
  • You know, god will still sit on his throne.
  • 00:19:47.663 --> 00:19:50.132
  • I will still be happy going along,
  • 00:19:50.132 --> 00:19:51.600
  • And this church will still be.
  • 00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:52.968
  • But if you sin, you are destroying
  • 00:19:52.968 --> 00:19:54.803
  • Something in your life.
  • 00:19:54.803 --> 00:19:56.405
  • Something is always destroyed when you sin--
  • 00:19:56.405 --> 00:19:58.140
  • Either your health, your peace of mind,
  • 00:19:58.140 --> 00:20:00.409
  • Your relationships.
  • 00:20:00.409 --> 00:20:01.743
  • Something is broken, something is destroyed.
  • 00:20:01.743 --> 00:20:03.478
  • So when god wants you to go and sin no more,
  • 00:20:03.478 --> 00:20:05.180
  • It's for you, not for him.
  • 00:20:05.180 --> 00:20:06.515
  • He will still be okay, you know?
  • 00:20:06.515 --> 00:20:09.017
  • He will still be god, just one person missing.
  • 00:20:09.017 --> 00:20:13.588
  • But he will not have heaven without you.
  • 00:20:13.588 --> 00:20:17.025
  • So he sent his only begotten son to die for you.
  • 00:20:17.025 --> 00:20:20.529
  • That is something that i cannot wrap my brain around it.
  • 00:20:20.529 --> 00:20:23.665
  • Can you?
  • 00:20:23.665 --> 00:20:26.368
  • Oh, the love of god.
  • 00:20:26.368 --> 00:20:28.670
  • These pharisees, if they could condemn
  • 00:20:28.670 --> 00:20:35.210
  • This girl, they would.
  • 00:20:35.210 --> 00:20:37.112
  • All right, they would if they could.
  • 00:20:37.112 --> 00:20:41.817
  • But they could not.
  • 00:20:41.817 --> 00:20:44.086
  • Jesus could, but he would not.
  • 00:20:44.086 --> 00:20:52.227
  • So jesus says, "where are those who accuse you?"
  • 00:20:52.227 --> 00:20:54.696
  • He says, "no man, lord."
  • 00:20:54.696 --> 00:20:56.531
  • And the lord says, "neither do i condemn you;
  • 00:20:56.531 --> 00:20:58.233
  • Go and sin no more."
  • 00:20:58.233 --> 00:20:59.568
  • Then jesus obviously walked out, all right,
  • 00:20:59.568 --> 00:21:02.070
  • From that place to where the pharisees all were.
  • 00:21:02.070 --> 00:21:04.639
  • Jesus spoke to them again, saying,
  • 00:21:04.639 --> 00:21:06.808
  • "i am the light of the world."
  • 00:21:06.808 --> 00:21:08.143
  • You must connect verse 12 with verse 11.
  • 00:21:08.143 --> 00:21:10.245
  • It is a continuation.
  • 00:21:10.245 --> 00:21:11.646
  • It says, "then."
  • 00:21:11.646 --> 00:21:13.081
  • Whenever you find a "then," there's always a connection.
  • 00:21:13.081 --> 00:21:15.450
  • That means he has something else to say
  • 00:21:15.450 --> 00:21:16.785
  • To the pharisees.
  • 00:21:16.785 --> 00:21:18.120
  • A lot of people when they share this story,
  • 00:21:18.120 --> 00:21:19.454
  • They stop in verse 11, all right?
  • 00:21:19.454 --> 00:21:21.022
  • I go to verse 12 because it's a connection.
  • 00:21:21.022 --> 00:21:23.558
  • He goes out and he tells them again,
  • 00:21:23.558 --> 00:21:25.927
  • Saying, "i am the light of the world.
  • 00:21:25.927 --> 00:21:29.030
  • He who follows me shall not walk in darkness,
  • 00:21:29.030 --> 00:21:31.366
  • But have the light of life."
  • 00:21:31.366 --> 00:21:32.701
  • Listen to what i'm saying. when he says that, o hallelujah.
  • 00:21:32.701 --> 00:21:36.204
  • He's saying, "the light that i shine is not a light
  • 00:21:36.204 --> 00:21:40.642
  • That makes you afraid to come into the holy of holies,
  • 00:21:40.642 --> 00:21:43.412
  • That exposes your sins.
  • 00:21:43.412 --> 00:21:46.114
  • No, the light that i shine, the one that follows me
  • 00:21:46.114 --> 00:21:49.418
  • Is not afraid to come near, you know why?
  • 00:21:49.418 --> 00:21:51.153
  • Because the light will show how perfect my work is
  • 00:21:51.153 --> 00:21:56.024
  • And how wonderfully clean you are
  • 00:21:56.024 --> 00:21:58.427
  • That my blood has washed you with."
  • 00:21:58.427 --> 00:22:02.130
  • Don't be afraid to come to him.
  • 00:22:02.130 --> 00:22:04.065
  • Don't have an old testament mentality.
  • 00:22:04.065 --> 00:22:05.434
  • He's gonna show off my sins. have a new testament mentality.
  • 00:22:05.434 --> 00:22:08.570
  • He has you on his breast, on his heart.
  • 00:22:08.570 --> 00:22:11.006
  • And you know how the high priest carries all of you?
  • 00:22:11.006 --> 00:22:13.308
  • Like diamonds.
  • 00:22:13.308 --> 00:22:14.743
  • Like gems, like sapphire, like ruby, you shine.
  • 00:22:14.743 --> 00:22:20.081
  • When the light shines on precious stones, guess what?
  • 00:22:20.081 --> 00:22:23.084
  • The stones reflect back.
  • 00:22:23.084 --> 00:22:25.654
  • Am i right? the stones reflect back.
  • 00:22:25.654 --> 00:22:28.356
  • So think of yourself and those 12 tribes
  • 00:22:28.356 --> 00:22:30.592
  • Are inscribed on the high priest's heart.
  • 00:22:30.592 --> 00:22:32.928
  • What is that picture of?
  • 00:22:32.928 --> 00:22:34.262
  • Our high priest today, our lord jesus has you
  • 00:22:34.262 --> 00:22:36.565
  • On his heart.
  • 00:22:36.565 --> 00:22:38.266
  • So every time you talk about coming to god,
  • 00:22:38.266 --> 00:22:40.168
  • See yourself reflecting his glory, amen?
  • 00:22:40.168 --> 00:22:44.039
  • Not exposing your sin, but reflecting his glory.
  • 00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:49.878
  • The more you come, the more you live.
  • 00:22:49.878 --> 00:22:51.947
  • Today is a new and living way.
  • 00:22:51.947 --> 00:22:53.515
  • In the--under law, the more they come,
  • 00:22:53.515 --> 00:22:56.117
  • Chances are they might die because god's holy of holies,
  • 00:22:56.117 --> 00:22:59.488
  • Only a high priest can go in with great trepidation
