  • Yours for a gift of any amount
  • 00:00:54.364 --> 00:00:55.932

  • Or visit our website today to get started.
  • 00:00:59.669 --> 00:01:03.406
  • Joseph prince: as you read "anchored" i believe
  • 00:01:03.406 --> 00:01:04.941
  • That you'll find the peace and stability
  • 00:01:04.941 --> 00:01:07.477
  • That you've been searching for in our lord jesus.
  • 00:01:07.477 --> 00:01:10.513
  • God bless you.
  • 00:01:10.513 --> 00:01:12.682
  • Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:01:12.682 --> 00:01:14.617
  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:14.617 --> 00:01:16.186
  • Joseph prince: man was the highest creation of all,
  • 00:01:16.186 --> 00:01:19.522
  • And god made man last, on the sixth day.
  • 00:01:19.522 --> 00:01:24.794
  • And on the seventh day, god entered his rest,
  • 00:01:24.794 --> 00:01:27.797
  • Not because he's tired; because his work is finished.
  • 00:01:27.797 --> 00:01:31.334
  • So the first five days, man is not created
  • 00:01:31.334 --> 00:01:34.437
  • In the beginning nor in the second day,
  • 00:01:34.437 --> 00:01:35.772
  • Nor in the third day,
  • 00:01:35.772 --> 00:01:37.106
  • Because god doesn't want man to have the glory.
  • 00:01:37.106 --> 00:01:40.343
  • He has no part in the creation.
  • 00:01:40.343 --> 00:01:42.645
  • Man's part--listen, see, the love of god--
  • 00:01:42.645 --> 00:01:45.515
  • Is to enjoy a finished creation.
  • 00:01:45.515 --> 00:01:48.985
  • So today salvation is based on the same.
  • 00:01:48.985 --> 00:01:51.120
  • A lot of people are trying to earn by their morality,
  • 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.890
  • By their good works, salvation, forgiveness of sins from god.
  • 00:01:53.890 --> 00:01:58.261
  • And the bible says--in fact, that's the way of pride.
  • 00:01:58.261 --> 00:02:00.930
  • God calls it pride because the work
  • 00:02:00.930 --> 00:02:02.832
  • Has been finished-- and at a great cost.
  • 00:02:02.832 --> 00:02:05.735
  • At the cross, god sent his son, amen,
  • 00:02:05.735 --> 00:02:08.538
  • And his son died on that cross,
  • 00:02:08.538 --> 00:02:10.840
  • Obtaining eternal redemption for us.
  • 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:12.675
  • He bore your sins, my sins in his own body.
  • 00:02:12.675 --> 00:02:16.246
  • He took our diseases, amen.
  • 00:02:16.246 --> 00:02:18.715
  • The chastisement of our well-being fell upon him.
  • 00:02:18.715 --> 00:02:23.019
  • And with his stripes, we are healed.
  • 00:02:23.019 --> 00:02:25.888
  • Surely--not maybe--surely, he has borne our diseases
  • 00:02:25.888 --> 00:02:28.758
  • And carried our pains, amen.
  • 00:02:28.758 --> 00:02:30.760
  • And on that cross he became accursed
  • 00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:33.096
  • That we might be blessed of god.
  • 00:02:33.096 --> 00:02:34.897
  • Can i have a good amen, church?
  • 00:02:34.897 --> 00:02:36.766
  • Let me tell you something: you know the biggest problem
  • 00:02:36.766 --> 00:02:38.334
  • With you and i is not so much just us committing sins?
  • 00:02:38.334 --> 00:02:43.273
  • That's bad enough because a lot of consequence of sins leads you
  • 00:02:43.273 --> 00:02:46.442
  • All the way to death, amen?
  • 00:02:46.442 --> 00:02:48.244
  • It's always bad consequence.
  • 00:02:48.244 --> 00:02:49.912
  • But, really, it's the factory that's producing the sin
  • 00:02:49.912 --> 00:02:52.949
  • That's the problem.
  • 00:02:52.949 --> 00:02:54.284
  • Would you agree?
  • 00:02:54.284 --> 00:02:55.618
  • It is the man that's producing the--
  • 00:02:55.618 --> 00:02:57.420
  • It's the heart, it's the flesh, it's the person
  • 00:02:57.420 --> 00:03:00.657
  • That produces the sin.
  • 00:03:00.657 --> 00:03:01.991
  • Am i right? am i right, church?
  • 00:03:01.991 --> 00:03:04.727
  • Even after you're born again, you find that, you know,
  • 00:03:04.727 --> 00:03:07.297
  • Sometimes that flesh-- we call it the flesh--
  • 00:03:07.297 --> 00:03:10.333
  • Okay, from now on, when it says "flesh,"
  • 00:03:10.333 --> 00:03:11.668
  • It's not referring to your physical body, amen?
  • 00:03:11.668 --> 00:03:15.104
  • The bible says jesus's blood has redeemed your body.
  • 00:03:15.104 --> 00:03:18.274
  • He has bought your body, amen.
  • 00:03:18.274 --> 00:03:21.077
  • So when i say "flesh," i mean that part of you
  • 00:03:21.077 --> 00:03:24.180
  • That is the old man, all right,
  • 00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:26.149
  • Nature that was left after you're born again--
  • 00:03:26.149 --> 00:03:30.086
  • The traits, the propensities, the desires, the lusts,
  • 00:03:30.086 --> 00:03:34.557
  • And all that-- is all in that flesh.
  • 00:03:34.557 --> 00:03:36.759
  • You are not in the flesh, the bible says.
  • 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.329
  • You are in the spirit. always remember that.
  • 00:03:39.329 --> 00:03:42.098
  • Your real identity is that you're created
  • 00:03:42.098 --> 00:03:46.002
  • In righteousness and true holiness.
  • 00:03:46.002 --> 00:03:48.471
  • You're a new creation in christ. you are in christ.
  • 00:03:48.471 --> 00:03:52.642
  • Can i have a good amen? all right.
  • 00:03:52.642 --> 00:03:54.243
  • "what does it mean to be in christ, pastor prince?"
  • 00:03:54.243 --> 00:03:55.845
  • That means that there was a man who gave everything up
  • 00:03:55.845 --> 00:03:58.848
  • Because of his sin.
  • 00:03:58.848 --> 00:04:00.183
  • God gave him everything, and he gave everything up, amen.
  • 00:04:00.183 --> 00:04:02.752
  • There was a man that was surrounded with paradise.
  • 00:04:02.752 --> 00:04:05.621
  • Everything that he needed was there.
  • 00:04:05.621 --> 00:04:07.156
  • There was no lack. there was no sickness.
  • 00:04:07.156 --> 00:04:08.758
  • There was no poverty.
  • 00:04:08.758 --> 00:04:10.093
  • There was nothing that lacked, okay?
  • 00:04:10.093 --> 00:04:12.729
  • And god gave him everything.
  • 00:04:12.729 --> 00:04:14.397
  • In this kind of environment where he had everything,
  • 00:04:14.397 --> 00:04:18.568
  • He committed high treason-- amen?--and obeyed satan
  • 00:04:18.568 --> 00:04:21.938
  • Instead of obeying god,
  • 00:04:21.938 --> 00:04:23.439
  • Obeyed the one who is an epitome of hate
  • 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.475
  • Instead of the one who-- the bible says god is love.
  • 00:04:25.475 --> 00:04:29.479
  • And as a result, the consequence fell.
  • 00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:31.381
  • The sin fell, amen?
  • 00:04:31.381 --> 00:04:34.317
  • Man starts to decay, starts to grow old,
  • 00:04:34.317 --> 00:04:37.987
  • Have sickness and disease,
  • 00:04:37.987 --> 00:04:39.322
  • And these are not the father's plan for his family.
  • 00:04:39.322 --> 00:04:42.725
  • I said this is not the father's plan for his family.
  • 00:04:42.725 --> 00:04:45.361
  • Church, we are in a fallen world.
  • 00:04:45.361 --> 00:04:48.131
  • But soon jesus is coming back and setting it right, amen?
  • 00:04:48.131 --> 00:04:52.034
  • So but, meanwhile, we are in a fallen world, amen?
  • 00:04:52.034 --> 00:04:55.538
  • And death came in until, finally, the physical death.
  • 00:04:55.538 --> 00:04:59.108
  • But the physical death is not even the final death yet.
  • 00:04:59.108 --> 00:05:01.244
  • There is a death in the lake of fire,
  • 00:05:01.244 --> 00:05:03.546
  • The bible says.
  • 00:05:03.546 --> 00:05:04.881
  • The bible calls it the second death.
  • 00:05:04.881 --> 00:05:06.983
  • And that's why you all know,
  • 00:05:06.983 --> 00:05:08.317
  • Deep down, you are a spirit being.
  • 00:05:08.317 --> 00:05:10.186
  • You can sense things that you know.
  • 00:05:10.186 --> 00:05:12.355
  • It's not--you realize you are more than just a body.
  • 00:05:12.355 --> 00:05:14.791
  • You're not like an animal that dies, that's it, all right?
  • 00:05:14.791 --> 00:05:17.727
  • You are a spirit in a body.
  • 00:05:17.727 --> 00:05:20.463
  • Yes, your body is made from the dust of the ground.
  • 00:05:20.463 --> 00:05:22.498
  • I think one of the reasons why god made us--
  • 00:05:22.498 --> 00:05:23.833
  • God could have made us just-- you got--
  • 00:05:23.833 --> 00:05:25.768
  • Bible says god breathed into the dust of the ground,
  • 00:05:25.768 --> 00:05:28.070
  • And man became a living soul.
  • 00:05:28.070 --> 00:05:29.439
  • Man was created, you know, from the dust of the ground,
  • 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.674
  • Like a mannequin.
  • 00:05:31.674 --> 00:05:33.009
  • But there was no movement, no life,
  • 00:05:33.009 --> 00:05:34.877
  • Until god breathed into man.
  • 00:05:34.877 --> 00:05:36.245
  • So that part of you is your spirit man,
  • 00:05:36.245 --> 00:05:37.914
  • Your spirit man.
  • 00:05:37.914 --> 00:05:39.248
  • Say, "spirit man."
  • 00:05:39.248 --> 00:05:41.017
  • Amen, all of you have a spirit man.
  • 00:05:41.017 --> 00:05:42.485
  • It's the real you, amen.
  • 00:05:42.485 --> 00:05:45.188
  • That spirit man was cut off from god when adam sinned.
  • 00:05:45.188 --> 00:05:49.492
  • And when jesus comes into your life--
  • 00:05:49.492 --> 00:05:51.260
  • Praise the lord-- you are born again.
  • 00:05:51.260 --> 00:05:53.362
  • That's what it means. your spirit is born again.
  • 00:05:53.362 --> 00:05:55.998
  • And now you are born in righteousness
  • 00:05:55.998 --> 00:05:58.468
  • And true holiness.
  • 00:05:58.468 --> 00:06:00.570
  • Why the word "true holiness"?
  • 00:06:00.570 --> 00:06:02.505
  • Because there's a lot of pseudo-holiness,
  • 00:06:02.505 --> 00:06:05.541
  • A lot of fake holiness.
  • 00:06:05.541 --> 00:06:07.410
  • But, child of god, once you are born again
  • 00:06:07.410 --> 00:06:09.378
  • As a new creation, that new creation is created
  • 00:06:09.378 --> 00:06:11.380
  • In righteousness and true holiness, amen.
  • 00:06:11.380 --> 00:06:15.151
  • And god cannot see sin on you,
  • 00:06:15.151 --> 00:06:18.521
  • Because he sees the blood of jesus
  • 00:06:18.521 --> 00:06:21.491
  • In his holy of holies.
  • 00:06:21.491 --> 00:06:22.825
  • Jesus went back to the father after he bore your sins
  • 00:06:22.825 --> 00:06:24.861
  • In his body, amen.
  • 00:06:24.861 --> 00:06:26.295
  • He did it perfectly. he shouted, "finish!" amen?
  • 00:06:26.295 --> 00:06:31.067
  • He went back to the father.
  • 00:06:31.067 --> 00:06:32.802
  • On the third day, he was raised from the dead.
  • 00:06:32.802 --> 00:06:35.238
  • Now you must understand one thing: he died--
  • 00:06:35.238 --> 00:06:37.106
  • Even though he is god, 100% god--he died as man.
  • 00:06:37.106 --> 00:06:40.810
  • He came as man and died as man. he is 100% god, 100% man.
  • 00:06:40.810 --> 00:06:46.949
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:06:46.949 --> 00:06:48.284
  • It was a man that gave up the world,
  • 00:06:48.284 --> 00:06:50.620
  • Gave up everything for an apple,
  • 00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:53.723
  • Or whatever fruit you choose to believe it was, okay?
  • 00:06:53.723 --> 00:06:56.959
  • Gave everything up.
  • 00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:58.494
  • Jesus was in an environment of wilderness,
  • 00:06:58.494 --> 00:07:02.865
  • Being tempted by satan, and he won over satan.
  • 00:07:02.865 --> 00:07:06.836
  • You see, you like it or not,
  • 00:07:06.836 --> 00:07:08.471
  • Your life is intricately linked with your forefathers', okay?
  • 00:07:08.471 --> 00:07:15.778
  • It's linked.
  • 00:07:15.778 --> 00:07:17.146
  • You cannot say, "what they did has nothing to do with me."
  • 00:07:17.146 --> 00:07:19.181
  • It's got everything to do with you, amen.
  • 00:07:19.181 --> 00:07:22.785
  • And when you trace it back, everything goes back to adam.
  • 00:07:22.785 --> 00:07:25.288
  • So adam was like a federal head of the human race.
  • 00:07:25.288 --> 00:07:28.291
  • You understand? and he gave up everything.
  • 00:07:28.291 --> 00:07:30.293
  • He brought in sin, he brought in sickness,
  • 00:07:30.293 --> 00:07:33.930
  • He brought in poverty, he brought in depression.
  • 00:07:33.930 --> 00:07:37.300
  • And everything that you can see in the world today, all right,
  • 00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:40.169
  • That is bad and wars and all that,
  • 00:07:40.169 --> 00:07:42.538
  • He brought it in through his sin, amen--not god.
  • 00:07:42.538 --> 00:07:47.543
  • You wanna see what god's plan is like?
  • 00:07:47.543 --> 00:07:49.412
  • Look at it before man fell.
  • 00:07:49.412 --> 00:07:51.247
  • That's god's dream: perfect paradise.
  • 00:07:51.247 --> 00:07:53.616
  • Look at it.
  • 00:07:53.616 --> 00:07:54.951
  • Fast forward all the way to the book of revelation,
  • 00:07:54.951 --> 00:07:56.919
  • When heaven and earth comes down--
  • 00:07:56.919 --> 00:07:58.588
  • Praise the lord--a new heaven.
  • 00:07:58.588 --> 00:07:59.922
  • God makes a new heaven, a new earth, amen.
  • 00:07:59.922 --> 00:08:02.024
  • And there's no more tears, no more sickness, no more death,
  • 00:08:02.024 --> 00:08:05.595
  • No more sighing, no more crying, amen.
  • 00:08:05.595 --> 00:08:08.331
  • We'll live forever, live forever young,
  • 00:08:08.331 --> 00:08:10.366
  • Forever strong, forever healthy, amen.
  • 00:08:10.366 --> 00:08:13.135
  • And forever is a long time. wanna see the father's plan?
  • 00:08:13.135 --> 00:08:15.905
  • What is the father's heart? what is the father's will?
  • 00:08:15.905 --> 00:08:18.307
  • It's never all these things, okay?
  • 00:08:18.307 --> 00:08:23.446
  • So--but that happened.
  • 00:08:23.446 --> 00:08:25.381
  • So adam is the federal head of the human race.
  • 00:08:25.381 --> 00:08:27.883
  • So god has to send another second adam.
  • 00:08:27.883 --> 00:08:29.819
  • Now say, "second adam." the second adam, right?
  • 00:08:29.819 --> 00:08:32.555
  • So now jesus becomes the federal head
  • 00:08:32.555 --> 00:08:34.590
  • Of the new human race, amen.
  • 00:08:34.590 --> 00:08:37.727
  • So he has to come as a man...
  • 00:08:37.727 --> 00:08:40.363
  • Hence, the devil tried to stop him from coming.
  • 00:08:40.363 --> 00:08:42.865
  • Even when he was born in bethlehem, the king then,
  • 00:08:42.865 --> 00:08:46.535
  • Which is actually not the rightful king of that throne,
  • 00:08:46.535 --> 00:08:49.271
  • King herod, tried to have all the boys killed.
  • 00:08:49.271 --> 00:08:52.375
  • But the lord delivered his son-- amen?--and sent him to egypt.
  • 00:08:52.375 --> 00:08:58.381
  • And he came out from egypt for a while.
  • 00:08:58.381 --> 00:09:00.049
  • Some believe it was in alexandria.
  • 00:09:00.049 --> 00:09:02.018
  • And he grew up, amen.
  • 00:09:02.018 --> 00:09:04.153
  • The whole purpose for him to come to earth
  • 00:09:04.153 --> 00:09:06.355
  • Is to be the federal head, the new federal head of mankind
  • 00:09:06.355 --> 00:09:14.130
  • So that whatever happened to adam, as it was before,
  • 00:09:14.130 --> 00:09:17.400
  • Now happened to all the men that came from him.
  • 00:09:17.400 --> 00:09:20.403
  • Therefore, those who are born again,
  • 00:09:20.403 --> 00:09:21.904
  • Whatever jesus has accomplished,
  • 00:09:21.904 --> 00:09:24.173
  • Whatever victories he has wrought is all yours
  • 00:09:24.173 --> 00:09:28.477
  • If you are part of the new creation.
  • 00:09:28.477 --> 00:09:29.812
  • Are you listening, people?
  • 00:09:29.812 --> 00:09:31.147
  • So it's who you identify yourself with.
  • 00:09:31.147 --> 00:09:33.683
  • Now, real quick, the whole purpose
  • 00:09:33.683 --> 00:09:35.751
  • Is die on the cross.
  • 00:09:35.751 --> 00:09:37.086
  • Why die on the cross?
  • 00:09:37.086 --> 00:09:38.421
  • Because the soul that sins shall die.
  • 00:09:38.421 --> 00:09:40.289
  • You see, for god, if god just say, you know,
  • 00:09:40.289 --> 00:09:43.893
  • God's holiness and righteousness cannot allow injustice, amen,
  • 00:09:43.893 --> 00:09:47.463
  • Lawlessness and sin to enter heaven, amen?
  • 00:09:47.463 --> 00:09:52.568
  • Same token, you all agree.
  • 00:09:52.568 --> 00:09:53.903
  • You don't wanna live in a country--
  • 00:09:53.903 --> 00:09:55.237
  • And one reason why people like to stay in singapore
  • 00:09:55.237 --> 00:09:56.839
  • Is because we are a law-abiding country, amen.
  • 00:09:56.839 --> 00:10:02.578
  • There's justice. there's equity, amen?
  • 00:10:02.578 --> 00:10:04.847
  • If somebody rob you, somebody do wrong to you,
  • 00:10:04.847 --> 00:10:07.383
  • Somebody, you know, do crazy stuff and all that
  • 00:10:07.383 --> 00:10:09.552
  • To your daughter or your sons and all that,
  • 00:10:09.552 --> 00:10:12.521
  • Do you want justice in a country
  • 00:10:12.521 --> 00:10:15.091
  • Or you want a country with no police, nothing,
  • 00:10:15.091 --> 00:10:17.560
  • Everyone do what is right in their own sight,
  • 00:10:17.560 --> 00:10:19.962
  • Which is what the world wants to do?
  • 00:10:19.962 --> 00:10:21.297
  • No, of course not. justice is important.
  • 00:10:21.297 --> 00:10:24.433
  • And where do you get justice finally?
  • 00:10:24.433 --> 00:10:26.335
  • Who decides what is just and what is not just?
  • 00:10:26.335 --> 00:10:28.971
  • Finally, you trace it back to judeo-christian principles,
  • 00:10:28.971 --> 00:10:32.241
  • Which came from god-- god's justice.
  • 00:10:32.241 --> 00:10:34.844
  • Without god's justice, this whole--
  • 00:10:34.844 --> 00:10:36.879
  • Every nation that is civilized today
  • 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:40.516
  • Is civilized through based on these judeo-christian laws
  • 00:10:40.516 --> 00:10:44.854
  • And principles, amen.
  • 00:10:44.854 --> 00:10:48.758
  • And it brings prosperity to the nation.
  • 00:10:48.758 --> 00:10:52.261
  • Okay, now, we all want justice.
  • 00:10:52.261 --> 00:10:54.897
  • But if god just has justice and god says,
  • 00:10:54.897 --> 00:10:57.733
  • "because my justice cannot allow anyone with sin--"
  • 00:10:57.733 --> 00:10:59.702
  • And who is without sin?
  • 00:10:59.702 --> 00:11:01.604
  • All of us have sinned. none of us will enter heaven.
  • 00:11:01.604 --> 00:11:03.939
  • And he will wipe all the human race out.
  • 00:11:03.939 --> 00:11:08.110
  • He's got nothing to lose.
  • 00:11:08.110 --> 00:11:09.445
  • But the bible says god is love, amen?
  • 00:11:09.445 --> 00:11:12.681
  • So if god is love--right?-- on the other hand,
  • 00:11:12.681 --> 00:11:15.785
  • If god is love, god says, "ah, never mind.
  • 00:11:15.785 --> 00:11:17.553
  • Boys will be boys. you know what?
  • 00:11:17.553 --> 00:11:19.188
  • Just sweep everything under the carpet,"
  • 00:11:19.188 --> 00:11:20.589
  • Like some of you when you sweep, sweep everything
  • 00:11:20.589 --> 00:11:22.825
  • Under the carpet, you know, right.
  • 00:11:22.825 --> 00:11:24.160
  • Once a week, remove everything and vacuum, right?
  • 00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:26.829
  • No, god doesn't do that. god has to do it justly.
  • 00:11:26.829 --> 00:11:31.200
  • He has to do it in righteousness.
  • 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.535
  • He has to welcome sinful men in righteousness.
  • 00:11:32.535 --> 00:11:36.572
  • Better still, he has to welcome sinful men--
  • 00:11:36.572 --> 00:11:39.842
  • He has to welcome sinful men
  • 00:11:39.842 --> 00:11:41.243
  • Because his attributes must be glorified.
  • 00:11:41.243 --> 00:11:44.580
  • And he will not be glorified if he doesn't welcome you.
  • 00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:48.350
  • So who can accomplish that?
  • 00:11:48.350 --> 00:11:49.985
  • The cross, the cross of jesus christ,
  • 00:11:49.985 --> 00:11:52.321
  • The blood that he shed, that sinless blood,
  • 00:11:52.321 --> 00:11:54.990
  • That holy blood,
  • 00:11:54.990 --> 00:11:56.325
  • That royal blood that he shed on the cross.
  • 00:11:56.325 --> 00:11:58.627
  • He's the only one without sin. he knew no sin.
  • 00:11:58.627 --> 00:12:00.696
  • He did no sin. in him is no sin.
  • 00:12:00.696 --> 00:12:02.865
  • He was a perfect offering, amen, on that cross, amen.
  • 00:12:02.865 --> 00:12:07.736
  • But he offered himself as a man, a sacrifice.
  • 00:12:07.736 --> 00:12:10.439
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:12:10.439 --> 00:12:11.774
  • He took your place that you might take his place.
  • 00:12:11.774 --> 00:12:14.877
  • Are you taking his place?
  • 00:12:14.877 --> 00:12:17.146
  • Amen, he took your place in curse
  • 00:12:17.146 --> 00:12:18.547
  • That you might take his place in blessing.
  • 00:12:18.547 --> 00:12:21.050
  • So when jesus hung on that cross and cried, "it is finished!"
  • 00:12:21.050 --> 00:12:24.753
  • What is finished?
  • 00:12:24.753 --> 00:12:26.956
  • Yeah, the old covenant,
  • 00:12:26.956 --> 00:12:28.324
  • Where it's based on your obedience.
  • 00:12:28.324 --> 00:12:30.693
  • And no one can live under the old covenant of law.
  • 00:12:30.693 --> 00:12:36.398
  • No one can keep the law.
  • 00:12:36.398 --> 00:12:38.334
  • The one who say they cannot keep the law
  • 00:12:38.334 --> 00:12:40.369
  • Truly understands the law.
  • 00:12:40.369 --> 00:12:42.638
  • The law is perfect.
  • 00:12:42.638 --> 00:12:44.240
  • It is not just outward,
  • 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:45.574
  • But it's also inward in your thoughts.
  • 00:12:45.574 --> 00:12:47.910
  • You might keep it outwardly or when people are looking,
  • 00:12:47.910 --> 00:12:51.780
  • But you are different in your thoughts
  • 00:12:51.780 --> 00:12:53.482
  • And your behavior when no one is looking.
  • 00:12:53.482 --> 00:12:55.351
  • That is not keeping the law. so no one can keep the law.
  • 00:12:55.351 --> 00:12:58.387
  • Let's admit it.
  • 00:12:58.387 --> 00:13:01.790
  • "for by the law, no flesh shall be justified,"
  • 00:13:01.790 --> 00:13:04.760
  • The bible says.
  • 00:13:04.760 --> 00:13:06.095
  • So god knew that man cannot live under law.
  • 00:13:06.095 --> 00:13:07.963
  • God sent his son to establish grace...
  • 00:13:07.963 --> 00:13:13.535
  • So when christ died on the cross and cried, "finished,"
  • 00:13:13.535 --> 00:13:16.071
  • One of the things is that the law is fulfilled...
  • 00:13:16.071 --> 00:13:21.310
  • Jesus didn't finish the law by breaking the law for us
  • 00:13:21.310 --> 00:13:23.846
  • And sa--or destroying the law.
  • 00:13:23.846 --> 00:13:25.180
  • He says, "think not i am come to destroy the law.
  • 00:13:25.180 --> 00:13:28.250
  • I am not come to destroy but to fulfill."
  • 00:13:28.250 --> 00:13:31.854
  • Has it been fulfilled? yes.
  • 00:13:31.854 --> 00:13:33.689
  • Where? at the cross.
  • 00:13:33.689 --> 00:13:35.958
  • All your lawlessness and your broken--
  • 00:13:35.958 --> 00:13:38.260
  • Your law breaking and all that was borne by jesus at the cross.
  • 00:13:38.260 --> 00:13:42.498
  • He paid the price, and the law is satisfied.
  • 00:13:42.498 --> 00:13:46.035
  • For the law to demand justice and payment from you today
  • 00:13:46.035 --> 00:13:52.107
  • Or else it will curse you, it will punish you,
  • 00:13:52.107 --> 00:13:54.743
  • Will be unjust.
  • 00:13:54.743 --> 00:13:57.179
  • And the law is magnified.
  • 00:13:57.179 --> 00:13:59.014
  • That's why the phrase "the law is magnified"
  • 00:13:59.014 --> 00:14:01.083
  • Has got to do with the cross.
  • 00:14:01.083 --> 00:14:02.851
  • The law is magnified.
  • 00:14:02.851 --> 00:14:04.720
  • Jesus said, "thy law is within my heart," amen.
  • 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.957
  • That's why the ark of the covenant
  • 00:14:07.957 --> 00:14:09.425
  • Has the ten commandments inside.
  • 00:14:09.425 --> 00:14:11.360
  • Only he can keep it.
  • 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:14.196
  • And he fulfilled it at the cross for all of us.
  • 00:14:14.196 --> 00:14:16.765
  • We are no more under law; we are under grace.
  • 00:14:16.765 --> 00:14:19.201
  • What's grace?
  • 00:14:19.201 --> 00:14:20.536
  • Grace--if you're under the covenant,
  • 00:14:20.536 --> 00:14:22.638
  • There is an "if":
  • 00:14:22.638 --> 00:14:24.006
  • "if you obey, i will bless you.
  • 00:14:24.006 --> 00:14:25.441
  • If you disobey, i will curse you," all right?
  • 00:14:25.441 --> 00:14:28.911
  • But under the new covenant, there are no "if's."
  • 00:14:28.911 --> 00:14:32.147
  • God says, "i will be this to you"--and you will.
  • 00:14:32.147 --> 00:14:37.219
  • "i'll be your god and you will be my people," amen.
  • 00:14:37.219 --> 00:14:41.490
  • There was a time god hides his face from israel.
  • 00:14:41.490 --> 00:14:44.059
  • "the people are lo-ammi," no more my people;
  • 00:14:44.059 --> 00:14:48.530
  • "lo-ruhamah," no more mercy.
  • 00:14:48.530 --> 00:14:50.766
  • But god says, through christ, "now you are now my people.
  • 00:14:50.766 --> 00:14:54.436
  • You have now obtained mercy." can i have a good amen?
  • 00:14:54.436 --> 00:14:58.173
  • All right, so we have a very beautiful picture
  • 00:14:58.173 --> 00:15:00.843
  • Of the second man, amen?
  • 00:15:00.843 --> 00:15:02.811
  • And this second man, when he rose from the dead,
  • 00:15:02.811 --> 00:15:05.047
  • Please understand: he died on the cross as man,
  • 00:15:05.047 --> 00:15:08.117
  • All right?
  • 00:15:08.117 --> 00:15:09.451
  • And he rose from the dead as man.
  • 00:15:09.451 --> 00:15:13.489
  • By the way, when he died on the cross,
  • 00:15:13.489 --> 00:15:15.057
  • Not only he bore our sins, he also bore us.
  • 00:15:15.057 --> 00:15:19.795
  • We were crucified with him.
  • 00:15:19.795 --> 00:15:21.530
  • That part of you, the old man that loves to sin,
  • 00:15:21.530 --> 00:15:25.134
  • That has been crucified at the cross.
  • 00:15:25.134 --> 00:15:28.303
  • It is finished knowing this: romans 6:6.
  • 00:15:28.303 --> 00:15:30.739
  • Our old man was crucified with him
  • 00:15:30.739 --> 00:15:32.841
  • That the body of sin might be nullified,
  • 00:15:32.841 --> 00:15:35.811
  • Done away, ineffective.
  • 00:15:35.811 --> 00:15:38.380
  • So today the christian still has this, right?
  • 00:15:38.380 --> 00:15:41.250
  • Your biggest problem-- say amen if you agree--
  • 00:15:41.250 --> 00:15:43.952
  • Your biggest problem is not so much the sins
  • 00:15:43.952 --> 00:15:45.788
  • That you have committed.
  • 00:15:45.788 --> 00:15:47.122
  • It is more this uprising of lust,
  • 00:15:47.122 --> 00:15:49.625
  • This outbreak of temper.
  • 00:15:49.625 --> 00:15:51.260
  • Sometimes you think that,
  • 00:15:51.260 --> 00:15:52.594
  • "oh, i've just come out from church, and i feel so good.
  • 00:15:52.594 --> 00:15:54.563
  • I cannot sin anymore."
  • 00:15:54.563 --> 00:15:55.931
  • Then the next thing you know, you...
  • 00:15:55.931 --> 00:15:59.435
  • Say something that you shouldn't have said.
  • 00:15:59.435 --> 00:16:00.769
  • You lost your temper.
  • 00:16:00.769 --> 00:16:02.104
  • It is this uprising that you feel inside, right?
  • 00:16:02.104 --> 00:16:05.441
  • Is that your problem?
  • 00:16:05.441 --> 00:16:07.409
  • If that's not your problem, i suspect you are born again--
  • 00:16:07.409 --> 00:16:11.780
  • Amen?--because only christians don't like this kind of thing,
  • 00:16:11.780 --> 00:16:14.450
  • Amen.
  • 00:16:14.450 --> 00:16:15.784
  • The world will say, "i feel nothing.
  • 00:16:15.784 --> 00:16:17.119
  • It's all the same.
  • 00:16:17.119 --> 00:16:18.921
  • In fact, i don't know what i am," all right?
  • 00:16:18.921 --> 00:16:21.290
  • Only you will know this is not you.
  • 00:16:21.290 --> 00:16:23.092
  • This is not you. you don't like it.
  • 00:16:23.092 --> 00:16:24.426
  • And worse, it intrudes into your most private,
  • 00:16:24.426 --> 00:16:28.163
  • Holy moments when you're praying, even.
  • 00:16:28.163 --> 00:16:31.533
  • You're thinking, "how can i think those thoughts?"
  • 00:16:31.533 --> 00:16:33.469
  • Child of god, is this true? let's encourage each other.
  • 00:16:33.469 --> 00:16:37.239
  • Are you all having the same experience?
  • 00:16:37.239 --> 00:16:40.075
  • Amen, god never sees you in your flesh.
  • 00:16:40.075 --> 00:16:43.512
  • Write that down somewhere:
  • 00:16:43.512 --> 00:16:44.847
  • God never sees you in your flesh.
  • 00:16:44.847 --> 00:16:46.181
  • God sees you in your spirit.
  • 00:16:46.181 --> 00:16:47.516
  • Romans 8 tells us you are not in--
  • 00:16:47.516 --> 00:16:49.852
  • If you are in the sp-- if christ be in you, all right--
  • 00:16:49.852 --> 00:16:53.122
  • The body is dead because of sin,
  • 00:16:53.122 --> 00:16:54.690
  • But the spirit is alive because of righteousness, amen?
  • 00:16:54.690 --> 00:16:57.726
  • And the bible says you are not in the flesh
  • 00:16:57.726 --> 00:17:00.195
  • But in the spirit, romans 8.
  • 00:17:00.195 --> 00:17:02.264
  • You are not in the flesh; you are in the spirit.
  • 00:17:02.264 --> 00:17:04.967
  • What does that mean?
  • 00:17:04.967 --> 00:17:06.301
  • All that is true of the second adam
  • 00:17:06.301 --> 00:17:07.736
  • Is now true of you.
  • 00:17:07.736 --> 00:17:09.304
  • As he is, so am i in this world--
  • 00:17:09.304 --> 00:17:12.641
  • Not as he was.
  • 00:17:12.641 --> 00:17:13.976
  • As he was is good enough.
  • 00:17:13.976 --> 00:17:15.310
  • When jesus walked by the sea of galilee--
  • 00:17:15.310 --> 00:17:16.645
  • You know?--
  • 00:17:16.645 --> 00:17:17.980
  • "oh, if i'm as he was, it's good enough."
  • 00:17:17.980 --> 00:17:19.615
  • But, no, god is referring to the christ
  • 00:17:19.615 --> 00:17:21.950
  • That has been enthroned and glorified at his right hand.
  • 00:17:21.950 --> 00:17:25.654
  • As he is, so are we in this world.
  • 00:17:25.654 --> 00:17:29.091
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:17:29.091 --> 00:17:30.425
  • Now, you are being elevated in your thinking.
  • 00:17:30.425 --> 00:17:34.696
  • This is the kind of thinking that is holy thinking.
  • 00:17:34.696 --> 00:17:38.233
  • It is thinking in line with the new testament.
  • 00:17:38.233 --> 00:17:40.135
  • It's thinking in line with the way
  • 00:17:40.135 --> 00:17:41.570
  • God wants you to think, because god thinks that way.
  • 00:17:41.570 --> 00:17:43.805
  • God thinks of you not as down there.
  • 00:17:43.805 --> 00:17:45.741
  • God thinks of you in his right hand, in christ.
  • 00:17:45.741 --> 00:17:49.545
  • When god's eyes see blood, god's eyes cannot see sin.
  • 00:17:49.545 --> 00:17:55.784
  • If ever, if ever today in heaven--by the way,
  • 00:17:55.784 --> 00:17:58.754
  • You know that the blood of jesus has been sprinkled in heaven?
  • 00:17:58.754 --> 00:18:02.057
  • In the book of hebrews, it says jesus went in
  • 00:18:02.057 --> 00:18:05.360
  • With his own blood.
  • 00:18:05.360 --> 00:18:06.695
  • Now listen: he rose from the dead.
  • 00:18:06.695 --> 00:18:09.565
  • He conquered death as man 'cause the work is finished.
  • 00:18:09.565 --> 00:18:14.102
  • So death has no more claim.
  • 00:18:14.102 --> 00:18:15.671
  • So he rose from the dead on the third day as what?
  • 00:18:15.671 --> 00:18:18.006
  • Man.
  • 00:18:18.006 --> 00:18:19.341
  • Listen, listen, and then god raised him
  • 00:18:19.341 --> 00:18:21.476
  • All the way up bodily, you know, in that new body
  • 00:18:21.476 --> 00:18:24.012
  • That can never grow old, never decay, never die, amen?
  • 00:18:24.012 --> 00:18:27.749
  • He went up to heaven, and he was glorified.
  • 00:18:27.749 --> 00:18:31.353
  • The father welcomed him, and he sat down.
  • 00:18:31.353 --> 00:18:33.822
  • And the bible says in hebrews the reason he sat down
  • 00:18:33.822 --> 00:18:36.992
  • Is not because he is god-- that he always is.
  • 00:18:36.992 --> 00:18:41.496
  • The bible says, "having purged our sins,
  • 00:18:41.496 --> 00:18:44.633
  • He sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high."
  • 00:18:44.633 --> 00:18:48.103
  • And that's why in hebrews 10 it says, right,
  • 00:18:48.103 --> 00:18:51.707
  • That once he has purged our sins fo--by his body,
  • 00:18:51.707 --> 00:18:55.277
  • We are all sanctified once and for all, amen?
  • 00:18:55.277 --> 00:18:59.014
  • And he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever.
  • 00:18:59.014 --> 00:19:01.650
  • Having offered one sacrifice--
  • 00:19:01.650 --> 00:19:03.452
  • Say, "one sacrifice for sins forever"--
  • 00:19:03.452 --> 00:19:06.655
  • Sat down, sat down on the right hand.
  • 00:19:06.655 --> 00:19:10.425
  • Same as chapter 1 of hebrews, amen:
  • 00:19:10.425 --> 00:19:14.496
  • Having purged our sins, sat down.
  • 00:19:14.496 --> 00:19:17.566
  • Now listen: the same person that bore the most sins--
  • 00:19:17.566 --> 00:19:23.272
  • In the entire history of man,
  • 00:19:23.272 --> 00:19:26.308
  • There never was a person that bore more sins.
  • 00:19:26.308 --> 00:19:30.145
  • There never was a person who can bear sins, by the way.
  • 00:19:30.145 --> 00:19:33.048
  • But if you talk about every filth,
  • 00:19:33.048 --> 00:19:34.683
  • Every uncleanness,
  • 00:19:34.683 --> 00:19:36.018
  • The person that bore all these sins in his own body--
  • 00:19:36.018 --> 00:19:39.154
  • Amen?--on the cross is jesus christ.
  • 00:19:39.154 --> 00:19:42.224
  • The fact that he can right now in his resurrection
  • 00:19:42.224 --> 00:19:46.261
  • Walk into heaven by his blood and the father glorifies him,
  • 00:19:46.261 --> 00:19:51.900
  • The father says, "sit on my right hand
  • 00:19:51.900 --> 00:19:53.535
  • Until i make your enemies your footstool,"
  • 00:19:53.535 --> 00:19:55.370
  • That means what?
  • 00:19:55.370 --> 00:19:56.705
  • Where are all the sins?
  • 00:19:56.705 --> 00:19:58.240
  • Where are all the sins that he bore a few days ago?
  • 00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.676
  • Where are all the sins? whose sins are those sins?
  • 00:20:00.676 --> 00:20:03.745
  • Whose sins are those? whose sins are those sins?
  • 00:20:03.745 --> 00:20:06.348
  • Come on. hey, talk to me, people!
  • 00:20:06.348 --> 00:20:07.949
  • Come on. talk to me.
  • 00:20:07.949 --> 00:20:10.419
  • Come on.
  • 00:20:10.419 --> 00:20:11.787
  • Whose sins are those that he bore?
  • 00:20:11.787 --> 00:20:13.322
  • But where is it now?
  • 00:20:13.322 --> 00:20:14.890
  • When he stepped into the father's right hand
  • 00:20:14.890 --> 00:20:16.958
  • And the father says, "you are my son.
  • 00:20:16.958 --> 00:20:18.460
  • This day have i begotten thee.
  • 00:20:18.460 --> 00:20:20.095
  • Sit on my right hand until i make your enemies
  • 00:20:20.095 --> 00:20:22.030
  • Your footstool.
  • 00:20:22.030 --> 00:20:23.365
  • You are a priest forever
  • 00:20:23.365 --> 00:20:24.700
  • After the order of melchizedek"--
  • 00:20:24.700 --> 00:20:26.034
  • Having purged our sins, he sat down.
  • 00:20:26.034 --> 00:20:27.836
  • "purge" means cleanse. are our sins cleansed?
  • 00:20:27.836 --> 00:20:30.505
  • Congregation: yes.
  • 00:20:30.505 --> 00:20:31.840
  • Joseph prince: you know how we know?
  • 00:20:31.840 --> 00:20:33.475
  • Jesus seated at the father's right hand.
  • 00:20:33.475 --> 00:20:37.212
  • Just imagine that.
  • 00:20:37.212 --> 00:20:38.547
  • Just before he sat down on the father's right hand--
  • 00:20:38.547 --> 00:20:39.981
  • Just a few days ago, just a few days ago,
  • 00:20:39.981 --> 00:20:45.420
  • He was carrying our sins-- hm?--on that cross.
  • 00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:53.795
  • Today where are the sins? gone.
  • 00:20:53.795 --> 00:20:56.965
  • That's why he can go in.
  • 00:20:56.965 --> 00:20:58.300
  • Listen, you must have the same mentality:
  • 00:20:58.300 --> 00:21:01.536
  • Where there's remission or forgiveness of sins,
  • 00:21:01.536 --> 00:21:03.638
  • Where sins are put aside by his blood,
  • 00:21:03.638 --> 00:21:06.074
  • We must have boldness to enter the holiest.
  • 00:21:06.074 --> 00:21:08.877
  • Actually, listen carefully, it is not so much--
  • 00:21:08.877 --> 00:21:12.147
  • It's writing to the hebrews, telling them, "come near."
  • 00:21:12.147 --> 00:21:15.250
  • For us, we are already near.
  • 00:21:15.250 --> 00:21:18.787
  • That's why we are called the body of christ.
  • 00:21:18.787 --> 00:21:20.389
  • You know where is the body of christ today?
  • 00:21:20.389 --> 00:21:21.723
  • At the father's right hand,
  • 00:21:21.723 --> 00:21:23.058
  • The right center of the universe.
  • 00:21:23.058 --> 00:21:24.393
  • We are the body of christ.
  • 00:21:24.393 --> 00:21:25.727
  • We are the many-membered body of christ.
  • 00:21:25.727 --> 00:21:27.062
  • It's, like--to you it's like,
  • 00:21:27.062 --> 00:21:28.497
  • "this sounds so metaphorical and so out-there and all that."
  • 00:21:28.497 --> 00:21:33.802
  • With god, it is the reality.
  • 00:21:33.802 --> 00:21:35.437
  • Your experiences every day is more, like, metaphorical
  • 00:21:35.437 --> 00:21:39.007
  • And all that.
  • 00:21:39.007 --> 00:21:40.809
  • This is the reality.
  • 00:21:40.809 --> 00:21:43.445
  • You see, if god ever-- the blood of jesus
  • 00:21:43.445 --> 00:21:45.847
  • Has been sprinkled at the father's right hand
  • 00:21:45.847 --> 00:21:47.182
  • Just now.
  • 00:21:47.182 --> 00:21:48.517
  • I said that, right?
  • 00:21:48.517 --> 00:21:49.851
  • The bible says jesus went in with his own blood,
  • 00:21:49.851 --> 00:21:51.353
  • Not with the blood of bulls and goats
  • 00:21:51.353 --> 00:21:53.789
  • Like they did in the old testament.
  • 00:21:53.789 --> 00:21:55.123
  • That's why they got to reapply the blood, reapply the blood,
  • 00:21:55.123 --> 00:21:57.325
  • Reapply the blood,
  • 00:21:57.325 --> 00:21:58.660
  • Because their work is never finished.
  • 00:21:58.660 --> 00:22:01.296
  • It's not sufficient.
  • 00:22:01.296 --> 00:22:02.697
  • The blood of bulls and goats cannot wash away sins.
  • 00:22:02.697 --> 00:22:06.334
  • But he went in once with his own blood,
  • 00:22:06.334 --> 00:22:11.006
  • Having obtained eternal redemption--
  • 00:22:11.006 --> 00:22:13.742
  • Do--you can see the word "eternal"?--
  • 00:22:13.742 --> 00:22:15.644
  • Redemption for us, okay?
  • 00:22:15.644 --> 00:22:18.980
  • Is the blood still there?
  • 00:22:18.980 --> 00:22:21.349
  • Then you have been perfected-- and perfected without ceasing.
  • 00:22:21.349 --> 00:22:25.954
  • Is the blood there?
  • 00:22:25.954 --> 00:22:27.622
  • Then you are made righteous,
  • 00:22:27.622 --> 00:22:29.858
  • And you are righteous in god's eyes without ceasing.
  • 00:22:29.858 --> 00:22:32.794
  • If ever you can remove the blood--
  • 00:22:32.794 --> 00:22:34.196
  • And god's eye is on the blood; it's not on man.
  • 00:22:34.196 --> 00:22:36.231
  • Listen carefully, god's eye is not on man's sin.
  • 00:22:36.231 --> 00:22:38.633
  • I'm talking about believers--okay?--
  • 00:22:38.633 --> 00:22:39.968
  • Not on your sin.
  • 00:22:39.968 --> 00:22:41.303
  • God's eye is on the blood.
  • 00:22:41.303 --> 00:22:42.671
  • If ever, if ever-- which is not possible, okay?--
  • 00:22:42.671 --> 00:22:44.639
  • If ever god takes his eyes off the blood to look at your sin,
  • 00:22:44.639 --> 00:22:48.777
  • God has just negate, slighted the blood of jesus.
  • 00:22:48.777 --> 00:22:56.885
  • God cannot do that.
  • 00:22:56.885 --> 00:23:00.188
  • That's why the bible says,
  • 00:23:00.188 --> 00:23:01.790
  • "blessed is the man to whom the lord
  • 00:23:01.790 --> 00:23:03.458
  • Shall not impute sin."
  • 00:23:03.458 --> 00:23:06.127
  • Why?
  • 00:23:06.127 --> 00:23:07.462
  • Because it has been imputed at the cross.
  • 00:23:07.462 --> 00:23:09.898
  • That's why the bible said the new covenant
  • 00:23:09.898 --> 00:23:11.433
  • Is all based on this clause,
  • 00:23:11.433 --> 00:23:14.836
  • And the holy spirit has been sent--
  • 00:23:14.836 --> 00:23:16.872
  • In hebrews 10 it tells us-- to be a witness to us.
  • 00:23:16.872 --> 00:23:20.041
  • And hardly-- we hardly hear this witness.
  • 00:23:20.041 --> 00:23:21.443
  • And the witness is "your sins and your lawless deeds
  • 00:23:21.443 --> 00:23:24.713
  • I remember no more."

  • Truth feels negotiable.
  • 00:24:29.878 --> 00:24:32.347
  • What was certain yesterday is no longer clear today.
  • 00:24:32.347 --> 00:24:36.851
  • But through all the noise and the shaking,
  • 00:24:36.851 --> 00:24:39.688
  • There is one who is still the same.
  • 00:24:39.688 --> 00:24:43.425
  • In the chaos, he is still the calm.
  • 00:24:43.425 --> 00:24:46.761
  • In the panic, he is still the promise.
  • 00:24:46.761 --> 00:24:49.798
  • Because when all else falters, fades, and falls,
  • 00:24:49.798 --> 00:24:53.735
  • He is still jesus above it all.
  • 00:24:53.735 --> 00:24:56.905
  • So no matter what's popular today or forgotten tomorrow,
  • 00:24:56.905 --> 00:25:00.909
