Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Why You Can't Fix Yourself (And What Actually Works) | July 9, 2026
- ...
- 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

- 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
- 00:22:59.488 --> 00:23:02.090
- And great preparation.
- 00:23:02.090 --> 00:23:04.059
- But now, the less you come, the more you die outside.
- 00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:08.897
- It's a new and leading way.
- 00:23:08.897 --> 00:23:11.299
- And the word "new" in the greek is a freshly killed.
- 00:23:11.299 --> 00:23:14.236
- It's like an animal that's freshly killed
- 00:23:14.236 --> 00:23:16.738
- For the altar.
- 00:23:16.738 --> 00:23:18.073
- It's our lord jesus. his blood has been freshly shed.
- 00:23:18.073 --> 00:23:22.310
- The word "new" and leading way, the word new is freshly killed.
- 00:23:22.310 --> 00:23:25.447
- You must come to god as if jesus died just now...
- 00:23:25.447 --> 00:23:28.950
- You must come to god as if the sacrifice
- 00:23:28.950 --> 00:23:31.987
- Is so fresh and god sees you with favor now,
- 00:23:31.987 --> 00:23:34.623
- And god sees the blood and god says, "what can--
- 00:23:34.623 --> 00:23:38.059
- What have you come for?
- 00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:39.861
- How can i restrain from you what my son died to give you?"
- 00:23:39.861 --> 00:23:45.467
- You must see, how will he not with him freely, free,
- 00:23:45.467 --> 00:23:51.940
- Freely, give us all things if god gave us jesus?
- 00:23:51.940 --> 00:23:56.611
- Have a good evening. give him praise.
- 00:23:56.611 --> 00:23:57.946
- Come on church, praise the lord, hallelujah.
- 00:23:57.946 --> 00:24:00.849
