Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - X-Factor Confidence That You Can’t Fake | May 31, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.311
Joseph prince: what makes a man attractive is grace.
00:00:12.956 --> 00:00:15.325
What makes god attractive to us is his grace.
00:00:15.325 --> 00:00:18.495
What makes jesus attractive to us is his grace.
00:00:18.495 --> 00:00:21.464
So god is saying, find someone who has
00:00:21.464 --> 00:00:23.466
The plus factor, someone who has grace.
00:00:23.466 --> 00:00:27.137
In other words, if grace is unearned, undeserved favor,
00:00:27.137 --> 00:00:30.640
There'll be many, many occasions
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:32.509
In your life together as husband and wife
00:00:32.509 --> 00:00:36.713
Where you will need unmerited favor extended,
00:00:36.713 --> 00:00:40.517
Where, you know, even though
00:00:40.517 --> 00:00:41.951
He does not feel like forgiving you,
00:00:41.951 --> 00:00:43.620
He knows that you don't have to come
00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:44.954
To a place to merit his forgiveness,
00:00:44.954 --> 00:00:47.991
He will forgive you.
00:00:47.991 --> 00:00:49.759
He will say sorry sometimes first.
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:51.728
So, that is undeserved favor for the partner, amen?
00:00:51.728 --> 00:00:56.065
You want someone like that. you want someone with the extra.
00:00:56.065 --> 00:00:58.001
You know, god-- god always has the extra.
00:00:58.001 --> 00:01:00.003
He doesn't just do his duty to take care of the universe.
00:01:00.003 --> 00:01:03.106
He does extra.
00:01:03.106 --> 00:01:04.440
That's the goodness of god, all the grace of god.
00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:06.776
Goodness is the extra.
00:01:06.776 --> 00:01:08.511
Are you listening, people?
00:01:08.511 --> 00:01:09.846
There's help in god.
00:01:09.846 --> 00:01:11.648
There is restoration in jesus, amen?
00:01:11.648 --> 00:01:15.585
Can i have a good amen?
00:01:15.585 --> 00:01:17.353
What does a man want in a woman?
00:01:17.353 --> 00:01:19.289
He wants beauty.
00:01:19.289 --> 00:01:20.757
So the very thing that god tells us
00:01:20.757 --> 00:01:24.627
Is exactly the very thing that we need.
00:01:24.627 --> 00:01:27.363
He knows us.
00:01:27.363 --> 00:01:28.698
Joshua 1:8: "this book of the law
00:01:28.698 --> 00:01:30.033
Shall not depart out of thy mouth,
00:01:30.033 --> 00:01:31.367
But you shall meditate therein day and night."
00:01:31.367 --> 00:01:32.769
What's gonna happen? "you shall have good success."
00:01:32.769 --> 00:01:35.405
Good success is actually one word in the hebrew, sakal.
00:01:35.405 --> 00:01:40.143
Wisdom to produce success.
00:01:40.143 --> 00:01:41.711
A woman whose mouth is a counsel,
00:01:41.711 --> 00:01:45.481
A well of wisdom, amen.
00:01:45.481 --> 00:01:48.785
So look for that.
00:01:48.785 --> 00:01:50.119
There's no god's perfect choice,
00:01:50.119 --> 00:01:51.988
But there is god's appointed one.
00:01:51.988 --> 00:01:54.290
God has appointed someone for you, amen?
00:01:54.290 --> 00:01:57.560
That's god's way. you understand, people?
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.495
Announcer: what if this is the moment
00:01:59.562 --> 00:02:01.030
God is using to reach you?
00:02:01.030 --> 00:02:03.566
What if this is an invitation to live
00:02:03.566 --> 00:02:05.134
The life god has called you to live?
00:02:05.134 --> 00:02:07.737
In today's message, joseph unveils
00:02:07.737 --> 00:02:09.839
Scriptural truths and divine secrets
00:02:09.839 --> 00:02:12.175
On how to live the overcoming life.
00:02:12.175 --> 00:02:14.644
Joseph prince: the bible says that in the last days,
00:02:14.644 --> 00:02:16.679
God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh.
00:02:16.679 --> 00:02:19.649
So we are looking forward for a worldwide revival,
00:02:19.649 --> 00:02:21.851
Hallelujah, amen?
00:02:21.851 --> 00:02:23.653
They are ready, people, for the gospel.

Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
00:03:01.424 --> 00:03:03.826
With today's program.
00:03:03.826 --> 00:03:05.161
Joseph prince: i'm gonna share on marriage tonight,
00:03:05.161 --> 00:03:07.230
Praise god, amen?
00:03:07.230 --> 00:03:10.433
Now just by a show of hands all across this place,
00:03:10.433 --> 00:03:12.535
How many of you are married?
00:03:12.535 --> 00:03:14.570
All right, look happy, look happy, come on,
00:03:14.570 --> 00:03:16.205
Lift up your hands.
00:03:16.205 --> 00:03:17.573
All right, wave, wave.
00:03:17.573 --> 00:03:19.509
Yeah, when there's-- when you're--when you wave,
00:03:19.509 --> 00:03:21.377
There's movement, i can see it.
00:03:21.377 --> 00:03:22.712
Okay, praise god, all the way to the top,
00:03:22.712 --> 00:03:24.147
Okay, praise god.
00:03:24.147 --> 00:03:25.481
God loves you.
00:03:25.481 --> 00:03:27.517
And because he loves you, all his plans are good for you.
00:03:27.517 --> 00:03:31.387
Marriage is god's idea.
00:03:31.387 --> 00:03:33.189
It's not men's idea.
00:03:33.189 --> 00:03:34.791
All right, men's idea is to stay together,
00:03:34.791 --> 00:03:36.659
Let's say we are okay with each other.
00:03:36.659 --> 00:03:38.528
It won't be okay, i'll tell you that, why?
00:03:38.528 --> 00:03:41.698
Because god's way is always looking to him
00:03:41.698 --> 00:03:45.435
To direct you, and then when you are dating,
00:03:45.435 --> 00:03:48.604
You get to know each other, there's no such thing
00:03:48.604 --> 00:03:50.239
As 100%, you are sure, amen?
00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:53.910
There's a place for faith.
00:03:53.910 --> 00:03:56.846
Can i have a good amen?
00:03:56.846 --> 00:03:58.181
But if you live together, you're going by sight,
00:03:58.181 --> 00:04:00.350
You know, you want to experiment to see
00:04:00.350 --> 00:04:03.019
Whether we are made for each other,
00:04:03.019 --> 00:04:04.520
You will come to a place where you can't stand each other.
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.423
And why?
00:04:07.423 --> 00:04:08.758
Because the seal that's-- that super glue
00:04:08.758 --> 00:04:11.728
That comes from a marriage covenant
00:04:11.728 --> 00:04:13.896
Is not there.
00:04:13.896 --> 00:04:15.565
And true love needs a solid foundation.
00:04:15.565 --> 00:04:20.770
And every marriage needs a third party.
00:04:20.770 --> 00:04:22.605
His name is jesus, amen?
00:04:22.605 --> 00:04:25.375
All things are held together by him.
00:04:25.375 --> 00:04:27.577
"in him," the bible says in colossians,
00:04:27.577 --> 00:04:29.879
"all things consist."
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:31.748
You know what's consist? held together.
00:04:31.748 --> 00:04:34.150
All things are held together by christ himself.
00:04:34.150 --> 00:04:38.187
The bible says: "in christ, all things are held together."
00:04:38.187 --> 00:04:41.858
When christ comes into your life,
00:04:41.858 --> 00:04:43.493
You are held together, amen?
00:04:43.493 --> 00:04:45.628
When christ is in your mind, your mind is held together.
00:04:45.628 --> 00:04:48.331
When he comes into your relationship,
00:04:48.331 --> 00:04:49.732
Your relationship is held together.
00:04:49.732 --> 00:04:51.868
Can i have a good amen?
00:04:51.868 --> 00:04:53.236
I want to share with you also from the hebrew,
00:04:53.236 --> 00:04:55.638
Some secrets about marriage, amen.
00:04:55.638 --> 00:04:58.841
Don't put anyone or anything in the center
00:04:58.841 --> 00:05:01.611
But the lord jesus christ.
00:05:01.611 --> 00:05:03.413
Once the center is right, he will hold all things together
00:05:03.413 --> 00:05:06.015
And all the people said, amen.
00:05:06.015 --> 00:05:08.551
Now, the first thing you need to understand: grace.
00:05:08.551 --> 00:05:12.522
Without grace, no marriage can succeed.
00:05:12.522 --> 00:05:16.459
Now, grace, that means unearned, undeserved favor.
00:05:16.459 --> 00:05:20.763
If you look at someone and you're wondering, okay,
00:05:20.763 --> 00:05:24.667
Will i know what-- would this person make
00:05:24.667 --> 00:05:26.235
A good life partner?
00:05:26.235 --> 00:05:27.804
Ladies, would you like to have--
00:05:27.804 --> 00:05:29.238
Those of you who are single, okay?
00:05:29.238 --> 00:05:30.907
What kind of man are you looking for?
00:05:30.907 --> 00:05:33.342
What makes a man attractive?
00:05:33.342 --> 00:05:37.513
And god's idea of attractive,
00:05:37.513 --> 00:05:40.316
And god knows what is attractive to him
00:05:40.316 --> 00:05:42.452
Will be attractive to you, ultimately.
00:05:42.452 --> 00:05:45.521
Can i have a good amen?
00:05:45.521 --> 00:05:47.890
It's proverbs 19, verse 22 says: "what is desirable in a man,"
00:05:47.890 --> 00:05:53.396
Actually, a modern translation would be,
00:05:53.396 --> 00:05:55.031
"what is sexy in a man."
00:05:55.031 --> 00:05:58.067
This word "desirable" is actually desirable,
00:05:58.067 --> 00:06:00.203
Makes a man desirable.
00:06:00.203 --> 00:06:01.537
What makes a man desirable is not his muscles.
00:06:01.537 --> 00:06:03.806
So what is desirable in a man is his kindness.
00:06:03.806 --> 00:06:08.511
But in the hebrew, the word "kindness"
00:06:08.511 --> 00:06:10.446
Is the word "hesed."
00:06:10.446 --> 00:06:13.015
Isn't that interesting?
00:06:13.015 --> 00:06:14.750
Hesed is grace, amen.
00:06:14.750 --> 00:06:18.221
What makes a man attractive is grace.
00:06:18.221 --> 00:06:20.556
What makes god attractive to us is his grace.
00:06:20.556 --> 00:06:23.726
What makes jesus attractive to us is his grace.
00:06:23.726 --> 00:06:26.696
So god is saying, find someone who has the plus factor,
00:06:26.696 --> 00:06:30.266
Someone who has grace.
00:06:30.266 --> 00:06:32.435
In other words, if grace is unearned, undeserved favor,
00:06:32.435 --> 00:06:35.938
There'll be many, many occasions
00:06:35.938 --> 00:06:37.807
In your life together as husband and wife
00:06:37.807 --> 00:06:42.011
Where you will need unmerited favor extended,
00:06:42.011 --> 00:06:45.815
Where, you know, even though
00:06:45.815 --> 00:06:47.250
He does not feel like forgiving you,
00:06:47.250 --> 00:06:48.918
He knows that you don't have to come
00:06:48.918 --> 00:06:50.253
To a place to merit his forgiveness,
00:06:50.253 --> 00:06:53.289
He will forgive you.
00:06:53.289 --> 00:06:55.057
He will say sorry sometimes first.
00:06:55.057 --> 00:07:00.363
I want my wife somewhere around to hear this.
00:07:00.363 --> 00:07:03.232
Sometimes he will say sorry first, amen?
00:07:03.232 --> 00:07:06.936
So that is undeserved favor for the partner, amen?
00:07:06.936 --> 00:07:11.207
You want someone like that.
00:07:11.207 --> 00:07:12.542
You want someone that extra--you know,
00:07:12.542 --> 00:07:13.876
God always has the extra.
00:07:13.876 --> 00:07:15.211
He doesn't just do his duty to take care of the universe.
00:07:15.211 --> 00:07:18.281
He does extra.
00:07:18.281 --> 00:07:19.615
That's the goodness of god, all the grace of god.
00:07:19.615 --> 00:07:21.951
Goodness is the extra.
00:07:21.951 --> 00:07:23.986
God give you things to enjoy.
00:07:23.986 --> 00:07:26.322
Are you listening, people?
00:07:26.322 --> 00:07:28.758
God is good.
00:07:28.758 --> 00:07:30.092
That's right, god is good.
00:07:30.092 --> 00:07:31.961
Now, what is wrong when you overeat?
00:07:31.961 --> 00:07:35.698
God gave you your senses, what is wrong
00:07:35.698 --> 00:07:37.300
When you use it to-- when you live after it,
00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:40.369
Like you're an animal.
00:07:40.369 --> 00:07:42.471
Instead of living by the spirit, controlled by the holy spirit,
00:07:42.471 --> 00:07:45.942
Amen, you live based on your senses.
00:07:45.942 --> 00:07:49.312
No, and god gave sex.
00:07:49.312 --> 00:07:53.115
Okay, no amen. i'll try one more time.
00:07:53.115 --> 00:07:56.586
God gave sex.
00:07:56.586 --> 00:07:57.920
Congregation: amen.
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.956
Joseph prince: wow, the men's voices are stronger,
00:07:59.956 --> 00:08:03.526
The ladies don't believe it.
00:08:03.526 --> 00:08:04.860
That's why we have this seminar.
00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:06.495
Now you're trapped, the doors are locked.
00:08:06.495 --> 00:08:09.298
God gave sex.
00:08:09.298 --> 00:08:10.633
You know, god actually say this: "be fruitful and multiply."
00:08:10.633 --> 00:08:12.802
And the way it happens is that, "adam, slap her five times.
00:08:12.802 --> 00:08:17.106
You, slap him 50 times."
00:08:17.106 --> 00:08:18.741
He can do that. i mean, i--understand.
00:08:18.741 --> 00:08:21.010
Pow, pow, pow. "now you have conceived."
00:08:21.010 --> 00:08:26.816
I mean, can god do that?
00:08:26.816 --> 00:08:28.217
Yes, and you wouldn't know.
00:08:28.217 --> 00:08:30.653
You wouldn't know.
00:08:30.653 --> 00:08:32.421
And you think that the world has a lot to offer.
00:08:32.421 --> 00:08:34.490
No, they take what god gives and they pervert it.
00:08:34.490 --> 00:08:37.560
They want you to follow your lust
00:08:37.560 --> 00:08:40.062
For other people other than your life partner.
00:08:40.062 --> 00:08:43.532
They wants to pervert it, amen?
00:08:43.532 --> 00:08:46.135
Perversion is the name of the game.
00:08:46.135 --> 00:08:48.104
It's not the original, the idea, amen.
00:08:48.104 --> 00:08:50.606
God expect the sex act to be an act that is holy,
00:08:50.606 --> 00:08:56.212
That is wonderful, that is pleasurable, amen.
00:08:56.212 --> 00:08:59.482
God ordained it to be so, amen?
00:08:59.482 --> 00:09:02.051
And y'all can say amen. it's okay, all right?
00:09:02.051 --> 00:09:03.986
It's holy.
00:09:03.986 --> 00:09:05.988
"the bed undefiled," the bible says.
00:09:05.988 --> 00:09:08.124
Say amen.
00:09:08.124 --> 00:09:09.925
Okay, what is desirable in a man is his hesed.
00:09:09.925 --> 00:09:14.063
So which means what? he has the plus factor, okay?
00:09:14.063 --> 00:09:17.733
So the idea of physical intimacy is there.
00:09:17.733 --> 00:09:19.769
Let me just tell you about sex. look up here.
00:09:19.769 --> 00:09:23.072
Let me tell you about sex.
00:09:23.072 --> 00:09:25.641
People down there: "oh yeah, pastor prince,
00:09:25.641 --> 00:09:28.477
Tell me more.
00:09:28.477 --> 00:09:31.280
Like, i don't know."
00:09:31.280 --> 00:09:38.187
One flesh is more--
00:09:38.187 --> 00:09:40.589
I understand it's more than just sex here,
00:09:40.589 --> 00:09:42.558
But don't take away the word "flesh."
00:09:42.558 --> 00:09:43.993
There's not many of you,
00:09:43.993 --> 00:09:45.327
You are so spiritual and religious
00:09:45.327 --> 00:09:46.662
That you start saying, "there shall be one,"
00:09:46.662 --> 00:09:47.997
You all stop there.
00:09:47.997 --> 00:09:49.665
Like as if, but the word "flesh" is inspired, people.
00:09:49.665 --> 00:09:53.502
God said "one flesh," so that means sex.
00:09:53.502 --> 00:09:58.374
It's not something to be celebrated
00:09:58.374 --> 00:10:02.478
Outside marriage.
00:10:02.478 --> 00:10:06.382
Now, another thing about sex, one flesh means
00:10:06.382 --> 00:10:09.652
They cleave so much,
00:10:09.652 --> 00:10:12.388
And the best way to illustrate this
00:10:12.388 --> 00:10:13.723
Is actually if i have two pieces of paper,
00:10:13.723 --> 00:10:17.026
Like a foolscap paper, and i put glue on one,
00:10:17.026 --> 00:10:21.230
And then i put this and paste it
00:10:21.230 --> 00:10:25.367
On the other one and i leave it here
00:10:25.367 --> 00:10:27.269
For about an hour, okay?
00:10:27.269 --> 00:10:31.240
Then we come back.
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.209
I'll pass this paper to you and i ask you
00:10:33.209 --> 00:10:35.077
To make sure that you peel them apart
00:10:35.077 --> 00:10:38.881
And they're still in their individual piece.
00:10:38.881 --> 00:10:42.485
Can you do that?
00:10:42.485 --> 00:10:43.953
You can't, once you have sex.
00:10:43.953 --> 00:10:47.423
Something is imparted.
00:10:47.423 --> 00:10:49.592
Sex is so powerful,
00:10:49.592 --> 00:10:51.227
It's more than just body and body coming together.
00:10:51.227 --> 00:10:53.629
After that, when you disengage, you're already your own person.
00:10:53.629 --> 00:10:56.899
No, whatever is of the person
00:10:56.899 --> 00:10:58.601
Has been imparted to you.
00:10:58.601 --> 00:11:00.870
Because it was designed in marriage.
00:11:00.870 --> 00:11:03.472
It's just like when you tear the piece of paper,
00:11:03.472 --> 00:11:05.441
You cannot tear anymore.
00:11:05.441 --> 00:11:06.776
When you tear, some pieces are stuck here,
00:11:06.776 --> 00:11:10.546
And some pieces here are stuck to the other.
00:11:10.546 --> 00:11:15.484
Sex is holy and it's powerful.
00:11:15.484 --> 00:11:19.755
It's meant to seal the marriage relationship.
00:11:19.755 --> 00:11:22.758
So women give--women want what?
00:11:22.758 --> 00:11:25.494
They don't want sex actually.
00:11:25.494 --> 00:11:27.196
It's not on their mind.
00:11:27.196 --> 00:11:28.531
It's not on their mind sometimes for days, weeks,
00:11:28.531 --> 00:11:36.005
And sometimes months, right?
00:11:36.005 --> 00:11:39.441
No, "right," so never mind, okay?
00:11:39.441 --> 00:11:41.744
So, women want love.
00:11:41.744 --> 00:11:44.079
They want expressions, amen.
00:11:44.079 --> 00:11:46.849
They want your words.
00:11:46.849 --> 00:11:51.620
So what happened is that men give these words
00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:54.957
And show affection to get sex,
00:11:54.957 --> 00:11:58.260
And that's what's happening in the world.
00:11:58.260 --> 00:11:59.595
Women think that it's the real thing.
00:11:59.595 --> 00:12:01.330
They give sex to get that companionship.
00:12:01.330 --> 00:12:04.400
We need to understand these things, folks.
00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:07.236
But like i said just now,
00:12:07.236 --> 00:12:08.938
If you have sleeping partners and all that,
00:12:08.938 --> 00:12:10.306
Something is imparted to you.
00:12:10.306 --> 00:12:12.241
And that's why you're having struggles and all that
00:12:12.241 --> 00:12:14.143
Because you cannot just go apart and say,
00:12:14.143 --> 00:12:15.711
"i'm still my own person," amen?
00:12:15.711 --> 00:12:18.814
But there's help in god.
00:12:18.814 --> 00:12:21.050
There is restoration in jesus, amen?
00:12:21.050 --> 00:12:24.987
Can i have a good amen?
00:12:24.987 --> 00:12:26.789
What does a man want in a woman?
00:12:26.789 --> 00:12:28.691
He wants beauty.
00:12:28.691 --> 00:12:30.192
So the very thing that god tells us
00:12:30.192 --> 00:12:34.096
Is exactly the very thing that we need.
00:12:34.096 --> 00:12:36.866
He knows us.
00:12:36.866 --> 00:12:38.200
Joshua 1:8: "this book of the law
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:39.535
Shall not depart out of thy mouth,
00:12:39.535 --> 00:12:40.870
But you shall meditate therein day and night."
00:12:40.870 --> 00:12:42.204
What's gonna happen? "you shall have good success."
00:12:42.204 --> 00:12:44.807
Good success is actually one word in the hebrew: sakal.
00:12:44.807 --> 00:12:49.578
Wisdom to produce success.
00:12:49.578 --> 00:12:51.113
A woman whose mouth is a counsel,
00:12:51.113 --> 00:12:54.917
A well of wisdom, amen.
00:12:54.917 --> 00:12:58.220
So look for that.
00:12:58.220 --> 00:12:59.555
Look for a woman who, you know,
00:12:59.555 --> 00:13:01.123
Like pretty, pretty, [giggling]
00:13:01.123 --> 00:13:03.125
You know, i am pretty.
00:13:03.125 --> 00:13:04.460
Sorry, sorry, i mean like very cute, you know,
00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:06.862
Eyelash, they can sweep the floor on, you know?
00:13:06.862 --> 00:13:09.465
I mean, so cute, you know, social media...you know,
00:13:09.465 --> 00:13:12.868
That kind of thing, right?
00:13:12.868 --> 00:13:17.172
Guys who go for the--and guys are more attracted by that.
00:13:17.172 --> 00:13:22.177
And at the end of the day, what they want,
00:13:22.177 --> 00:13:26.548
Many a times, they want someone
00:13:26.548 --> 00:13:28.617
Who can be a sounding board, someone who can speak counsel
00:13:28.617 --> 00:13:34.189
Because guys, we get discouraged also.
00:13:34.189 --> 00:13:38.560
We get down so many times, amen?
00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:41.597
We go through stress and we tell nobody about it.
00:13:41.597 --> 00:13:44.967
Sometimes we can't even tell our close friends,
00:13:44.967 --> 00:13:47.803
But when you have a wife who is prudent,
00:13:47.803 --> 00:13:51.273
Like someone i know, amen.
00:13:51.273 --> 00:13:56.812
You know what? you know what?
00:13:56.812 --> 00:13:59.815
You can always hear, my goodness, it sounds
00:13:59.815 --> 00:14:01.650
So good that when i talk to my pastors later on,
00:14:01.650 --> 00:14:04.353
It's like my idea.
00:14:04.353 --> 00:14:07.756
And guys sometimes will pay lots of money
00:14:07.756 --> 00:14:10.492
To attend a conference to hear someone say something
00:14:10.492 --> 00:14:14.063
That their wife will give for free at home.
00:14:14.063 --> 00:14:16.799
But because they pay money it's more--
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:18.600
It's more valuable, you know what i'm saying?
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.769
Right, but god has put in many women,
00:14:20.769 --> 00:14:23.939
Especially in this house, amen, prudence, wisdom,
00:14:23.939 --> 00:14:29.211
And the wiser a woman is, she becomes beautiful.
00:14:29.211 --> 00:14:32.314
You know, god always put beauty after wisdom.
00:14:32.314 --> 00:14:34.883
Look at this lady, remember david was on the run
00:14:34.883 --> 00:14:37.353
And he met-- he was about to kill someone
00:14:37.353 --> 00:14:39.388
Who actually mistreated his men.
00:14:39.388 --> 00:14:41.357
His name was nabal, and nabal was married
00:14:41.357 --> 00:14:43.759
To a wonderful lady called abigail, all right?
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.795
And what happened was this: david actually sent messengers
00:14:46.795 --> 00:14:50.366
To kill nabal,
00:14:50.366 --> 00:14:52.701
For the way he treated david's men,
00:14:52.701 --> 00:14:54.737
And on the way there, david was on the way to them, she--
00:14:54.737 --> 00:14:58.173
He was intercepted by abigail.
00:14:58.173 --> 00:14:59.942
And abigail's wisdom was so-- it's a lesson in communication.
00:14:59.942 --> 00:15:03.779
Study that.
00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:05.114
The way she spoke to david, she says that
00:15:05.114 --> 00:15:06.548
"i know that one day you'll become king.
00:15:06.548 --> 00:15:08.751
If you do this, if you murder nabal and the house,
00:15:08.751 --> 00:15:12.254
This will be on your conscience
00:15:12.254 --> 00:15:13.622
When you are king.
00:15:13.622 --> 00:15:15.691
Don't worry about all your enemies.
00:15:15.691 --> 00:15:18.127
Remember how god flung your enemies like a sling."
00:15:18.127 --> 00:15:22.664
That reminded david, she spoke his language, amen.
00:15:22.664 --> 00:15:26.568
Something you can tell your husband,
00:15:26.568 --> 00:15:27.903
If your husband loves golf, you just say sometimes
00:15:27.903 --> 00:15:30.672
There's a golf club that you like to use last time,
00:15:30.672 --> 00:15:33.809
And then you put it one side,
00:15:33.809 --> 00:15:35.644
And all of a sudden, okay, there it is all the time.
00:15:35.644 --> 00:15:39.515
It could assist you so much in helping you,
00:15:39.515 --> 00:15:41.717
But you forgot that you even have it.
00:15:41.717 --> 00:15:44.453
You know something?
00:15:44.453 --> 00:15:46.088
Sometimes i feel that way or whatever.
00:15:46.088 --> 00:15:48.657
Speak golf, speak football, speak whatever,
00:15:48.657 --> 00:15:52.127
Avengers, amen, amen?
00:15:52.127 --> 00:15:56.465
Carrie's gonna speak avengers with gabriel,
00:15:56.465 --> 00:15:59.868
But prudent is sakal.
00:15:59.868 --> 00:16:02.371
Sakal is wisdom that results in good success.
00:16:02.371 --> 00:16:08.410
Can i have a good amen?
00:16:08.410 --> 00:16:10.179
You look at a magazine, you watch a movie on netflix,
00:16:10.179 --> 00:16:16.285
Whatever it is, okay?
00:16:16.285 --> 00:16:19.321
And you look at someone attractive,
00:16:19.321 --> 00:16:20.989
You think of that person, she's a woman.
00:16:20.989 --> 00:16:23.092
You don't say it.
00:16:23.092 --> 00:16:24.960
Woman, wife sitting down there.
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:29.064
Wife. wife.
00:16:29.064 --> 00:16:33.302
With her makeup on.
00:16:33.302 --> 00:16:35.771
Everything, you know, let down.
00:16:35.771 --> 00:16:38.207
Wife, woman, wife, woman.
00:16:38.207 --> 00:16:41.076
She, on the other hand, watch korean drama,
00:16:41.076 --> 00:16:44.046
Man, husband...
00:16:44.046 --> 00:16:53.455
Husband, man, husband, man.
00:16:53.455 --> 00:16:57.392
Somehow the word "husband" and "wife" has become,
00:16:57.392 --> 00:17:01.196
Like, very dutiful that you rob--
00:17:01.196 --> 00:17:03.999
You know, god has wisdom.
00:17:03.999 --> 00:17:05.501
God knows--and an amazing thing happens when a man
00:17:05.501 --> 00:17:09.071
All of a sudden who has no passion for his wife,
00:17:09.071 --> 00:17:12.407
Realize one day-- now i don't approve of this.
00:17:12.407 --> 00:17:15.744
I'm not saying because it is okay,
00:17:15.744 --> 00:17:17.813
I'm not saying it's okay, but when the wife has an affair,
00:17:17.813 --> 00:17:20.816
It's amazing how the man's passion is all revived.
00:17:20.816 --> 00:17:25.988
It's all resuscitated, it's all like came back to life
00:17:25.988 --> 00:17:28.924
And all of a sudden, why?
00:17:28.924 --> 00:17:30.259
Because all of a sudden he realize he's seeing
00:17:30.259 --> 00:17:31.860
His wife as a woman.
00:17:31.860 --> 00:17:34.029
Same thing for a woman.
00:17:34.029 --> 00:17:35.898
It's not wise when you think--
00:17:35.898 --> 00:17:37.933
When you take your husband for granted, like,
00:17:37.933 --> 00:17:39.601
"oh, he will never do that to me.
00:17:39.601 --> 00:17:41.170
He will never--"
00:17:41.170 --> 00:17:42.504
No, adultery is always destructive.
00:17:42.504 --> 00:17:45.574
Sin is all-- sin always destroys,
00:17:45.574 --> 00:17:47.976
Remember that.
00:17:47.976 --> 00:17:49.311
It will cost you more than you want to pay.
00:17:49.311 --> 00:17:51.547
You never realize it's so costly, okay?
00:17:51.547 --> 00:17:56.518
Very painful.
00:17:56.518 --> 00:17:57.853
It'll produce a lot of pain in not only in your heart,
00:17:57.853 --> 00:18:00.522
But in many hearts.
00:18:00.522 --> 00:18:01.890
So let me settle this. adultery is evil.
00:18:01.890 --> 00:18:05.160
In fact, joseph said this:
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:07.296
"how can i commit this great wickedness?"
00:18:07.296 --> 00:18:10.966
Okay, before the ten commandments was given.
00:18:10.966 --> 00:18:14.203
He said--he called adultery "great wickedness."
00:18:14.203 --> 00:18:18.607
So--but, realizing your partner is a candidate for adultery,
00:18:18.607 --> 00:18:25.881
Makes you look at her or him the right way, amen?
00:18:25.881 --> 00:18:35.857
Just imagine, it's true.
00:18:35.857 --> 00:18:37.292
I've seen it time and time again
00:18:37.292 --> 00:18:38.627
When someone is interested in your husband,
00:18:38.627 --> 00:18:40.329
Someone interested in your wife,
00:18:40.329 --> 00:18:41.797
Then all of a sudden the passion comes back,
00:18:41.797 --> 00:18:43.465
Which means all the while it's--
00:18:43.465 --> 00:18:45.300
You can actually, it's not a matter of like
00:18:45.300 --> 00:18:47.936
She has changed, it's still your same wife,
00:18:47.936 --> 00:18:50.539
It's still the same husband.
00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:52.474
But somebody else has shown interest.
00:18:52.474 --> 00:18:54.443
And now the passion comes back.
00:18:54.443 --> 00:18:57.312
So, never say your husband is beyond it,
00:18:57.312 --> 00:18:59.881
Never say your wife is beyond it.
00:18:59.881 --> 00:19:01.450
We all need god's grace to keep us from sin, amen?
00:19:01.450 --> 00:19:05.821
And it's good to see each other as potential candidates, amen.
00:19:05.821 --> 00:19:09.825
It's good.
00:19:09.825 --> 00:19:11.159
In that way, you will maintain and love your husband,
00:19:11.159 --> 00:19:13.495
Your husband will take care of you, amen?
00:19:13.495 --> 00:19:16.999
All right, go to genesis 24.
00:19:16.999 --> 00:19:19.868
We'll close with this.
00:19:19.868 --> 00:19:21.203
Genesis 24, abraham sent his servant
00:19:21.203 --> 00:19:23.538
To get a bride for his son isaac.
00:19:23.538 --> 00:19:26.642
Okay, "then the servant took ten of his master's camels."
00:19:26.642 --> 00:19:29.311
By the way, the word "bride" and the word "groom,"
00:19:29.311 --> 00:19:32.347
Very interesting.
00:19:32.347 --> 00:19:33.682
Show them the word "groom" and "bride."
00:19:33.682 --> 00:19:35.417
Groom is chatan, not satan, uh?
00:19:35.417 --> 00:19:37.653
Chatan.
00:19:37.653 --> 00:19:39.121
Say "chatan."
00:19:39.121 --> 00:19:40.455
Okay, and the word "bride" is kallah, not defeated,
00:19:40.455 --> 00:19:45.160
Okay, but kallah.
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:46.662
All right, bride. so chatan and kallah.
00:19:46.662 --> 00:19:49.531
Now notice when they come together,
00:19:49.531 --> 00:19:51.500
God always combines letters to uncover a secret,
00:19:51.500 --> 00:19:55.337
And you put the first letter of the bride
00:19:55.337 --> 00:19:57.372
With the first letter of the groom,
00:19:57.372 --> 00:19:58.907
You have the word "koach."
00:19:58.907 --> 00:20:01.076
Koach means power. power.
00:20:01.076 --> 00:20:04.546
And this is the same word used in deuteronomy 8:18.
00:20:04.546 --> 00:20:07.382
God says, when your silver is multiplied,
00:20:07.382 --> 00:20:09.451
When your gold is multiplied,
00:20:09.451 --> 00:20:10.786
When i bless you and you live in goodly houses
00:20:10.786 --> 00:20:13.188
And you eat wonderful fruits from the orchard
00:20:13.188 --> 00:20:15.057
That you didn't even plant,
00:20:15.057 --> 00:20:16.591
Remember, when your gold and silver is multiplied,
00:20:16.591 --> 00:20:18.694
Don't forget the lord your god.
00:20:18.694 --> 00:20:20.028
Don't say, "my power and the might of my hand
00:20:20.028 --> 00:20:22.130
Got me this wealth."
00:20:22.130 --> 00:20:23.598
Verse 18: "but you shall remember
00:20:23.598 --> 00:20:25.834
The lord your god, for it is he
00:20:25.834 --> 00:20:27.703
Who gives you power to get wealth."
00:20:27.703 --> 00:20:31.273
Power there is koach.
00:20:31.273 --> 00:20:33.175
Together, husband and wife, when they are together,
00:20:33.175 --> 00:20:37.045
When they are one, amen, that's power.
00:20:37.045 --> 00:20:40.582
If there's a perfect choice, what happens
00:20:40.582 --> 00:20:42.084
When a man marries his perfect choice,
00:20:42.084 --> 00:20:43.452
And his perfect choice dies?
00:20:43.452 --> 00:20:46.288
He cannot marry again because his perfect choice died.
00:20:46.288 --> 00:20:50.125
If there's a perfect choice for everybody,
00:20:50.125 --> 00:20:52.160
Your perfect choice died,
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.528
You cannot marry anybody because if you marry somebody,
00:20:53.528 --> 00:20:56.131
That somebody is somebody's perfect choice.
00:20:56.131 --> 00:20:59.034
Very bad are you, you take somebody else--
00:20:59.034 --> 00:21:00.635
Your perfect choice died already,
00:21:00.635 --> 00:21:01.970
Then you marry somebody else's perfect choice.
00:21:01.970 --> 00:21:04.473
If you believe in perfect choice,
00:21:04.473 --> 00:21:05.841
This is the logical conclusion.
00:21:05.841 --> 00:21:09.678
No, honestly, choose the best,
00:21:09.678 --> 00:21:12.547
Ask god for his wisdom, ask god's direction.
00:21:12.547 --> 00:21:15.951
Make a good decision.
00:21:15.951 --> 00:21:17.285
That's how--don't get so spiritual.
00:21:17.285 --> 00:21:18.620
"oh yes, yes, his name is dan.
00:21:18.620 --> 00:21:22.324
I see the tribe of dan.
00:21:22.324 --> 00:21:24.459
Yes, he's the one, amen.
00:21:24.459 --> 00:21:26.895
Joshua, his name is joshua."
00:21:26.895 --> 00:21:28.797
You all laugh, right, but christians can be
00:21:28.797 --> 00:21:30.565
Some of the most religious people, believe me.
00:21:30.565 --> 00:21:35.370
Okay, so the best way to say it is like this.
00:21:35.370 --> 00:21:38.273
There's no god's perfect choice,
00:21:38.273 --> 00:21:40.375
But there is god's appointed one.
00:21:40.375 --> 00:21:43.412
Appointed one.
00:21:43.412 --> 00:21:45.147
This is what god appoints for you.
00:21:45.147 --> 00:21:47.315
Now, for those of you who have lost a loved one,
00:21:47.315 --> 00:21:50.419
A wife or a husband, that doesn't mean
00:21:50.419 --> 00:21:52.220
You cannot marry again.
00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:53.855
God has appointed someone for you, amen?
00:21:53.855 --> 00:21:57.259
That's god's way. you understand, people?
00:21:57.259 --> 00:21:59.494
There's a verse that says: "let her marry whom she will."
00:21:59.494 --> 00:22:03.331
With the wisdom of god, with the direction
00:22:03.331 --> 00:22:05.634
In a multitude of counselors, there is safety.
00:22:05.634 --> 00:22:09.104
But make sure there are counselors.
00:22:09.104 --> 00:22:11.039
There's a multitude of people talking is not safety.
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.109
The multitude of social media is not safety.
00:22:14.109 --> 00:22:16.578
In the multitude of counselors,
00:22:16.578 --> 00:22:18.680
That means there are people with counsel, with wisdom,
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:20.615
With sakal.
00:22:20.615 --> 00:22:22.851
There is safety, amen?
00:22:22.851 --> 00:22:26.588

00:22:55.917 --> 00:22:57.552
From pastor joseph prince.
00:22:57.552 --> 00:22:59.354
Joseph prince: father, i thank you for those
00:22:59.354 --> 00:23:00.689
Who are single under the sound of my voice,
00:23:00.689 --> 00:23:03.725
Father, who are here tonight,
00:23:03.725 --> 00:23:06.061
Who are watching this or listening to media,
00:23:06.061 --> 00:23:09.164
One way or another, and they want in on this,
00:23:09.164 --> 00:23:11.500
I'm praying for them,
00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:13.001
That, father, in jesus's name,
00:23:13.001 --> 00:23:14.336
They will not make a wrong decision, lord,
00:23:14.336 --> 00:23:17.105
For their life partner,
00:23:17.105 --> 00:23:18.440
That father, you will circumvent,
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:20.075
You will stop, even break up
00:23:20.075 --> 00:23:23.245
Where it's necessary, lord.
00:23:23.245 --> 00:23:25.213
And i pray, father, in jesus's name,
00:23:25.213 --> 00:23:26.615
You'll bring in the right person.
00:23:26.615 --> 00:23:28.850
The prudent wife is from you.
00:23:28.850 --> 00:23:32.754
And that desirable man, that man full of grace,
00:23:32.754 --> 00:23:36.725
Is from you.
00:23:36.725 --> 00:23:39.127
So send that one, lord, at the right time
00:23:39.127 --> 00:23:42.063
And make all things beautiful in your time.
00:23:42.063 --> 00:23:45.066
Father, i pray in jesus's name,
00:23:45.066 --> 00:23:47.335
For every husband and wife,
00:23:47.335 --> 00:23:49.504
Every man and woman who are married,
00:23:49.504 --> 00:23:53.408
That you grant them a revelation
00:23:53.408 --> 00:23:54.843
To see their partner with fresh eyes,
00:23:54.843 --> 00:23:57.812
Eyes of the holy spirit, lord,
00:23:57.812 --> 00:24:00.682
Eyes of desire, eyes of passion,
00:24:00.682 --> 00:24:05.220
To look for the good and not the bad in their spouse,
00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:11.192
To look for the light and not darkness,
00:24:11.192 --> 00:24:16.097
To thank you for what they have
00:24:16.097 --> 00:24:18.934
And not what they don't have.
00:24:18.934 --> 00:24:21.503
I pray in jesus's name
00:24:21.503 --> 00:24:22.837
For those who are bound by social media,
00:24:22.837 --> 00:24:25.874
That they are affected by what they see,
00:24:25.874 --> 00:24:28.176
In jesus's name, sever, i pray,
00:24:28.176 --> 00:24:31.479
The emotional soul ties to the worldly standards
00:24:31.479 --> 00:24:39.154
And give them grace
00:24:39.154 --> 00:24:40.488
Not to be conformed to this world,
00:24:40.488 --> 00:24:42.090
But be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
00:24:42.090 --> 00:24:45.427
Your vision, your wisdom, your counsel
00:24:45.427 --> 00:24:47.362
Is what we need, father.
00:24:47.362 --> 00:24:49.898
Blessed is the man, blessed is the woman,
00:24:49.898 --> 00:24:52.100
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
00:24:52.100 --> 00:24:59.307
But meditates on the word day and night.
00:24:59.307 --> 00:25:01.776
Female announcer: thank you for watching today's program.

While stocks last, just pay shipping and handling.
00:25:16.891 --> 00:25:20.695
Female: in 2016, my daughter was pregnant
00:25:20.695 --> 00:25:23.865
And she delivered early, 23 weeks, and she had to stay
00:25:23.865 --> 00:25:28.503
In the nicu for 4 months.
00:25:28.503 --> 00:25:30.972
A time came where we received a call
00:25:30.972 --> 00:25:33.508
From the hospital.
00:25:33.508 --> 00:25:34.843
She had three different bacterial infections
00:25:34.843 --> 00:25:38.813
And double pneumonia.
00:25:38.813 --> 00:25:40.548
Her numbers were between, like, in the high 30s and 40s.
00:25:40.548 --> 00:25:45.453
They're supposed to be like 85.
00:25:45.453 --> 00:25:47.489
There wasn't much hope.
00:25:47.489 --> 00:25:49.391
So it had been like at least 10 years
00:25:49.391 --> 00:25:52.661
Since my life being transformed through the teaching,
00:25:52.661 --> 00:25:55.230
And through pastor prince's ministry.
00:25:55.230 --> 00:25:57.565
I know god wants me healed.
00:25:57.565 --> 00:26:00.368
I know he wants my family healed.
00:26:00.368 --> 00:26:02.370
My husband and i were praying, we received holy communion
00:26:02.370 --> 00:26:04.673
Because we receive holy communion often.
00:26:04.673 --> 00:26:06.875
By the time we got to the hospital,
00:26:06.875 --> 00:26:08.743
She was in the 70s.
00:26:08.743 --> 00:26:10.245
So while we're waiting, literally, we're watching
00:26:10.245 --> 00:26:14.049
The numbers go higher and higher.
00:26:14.049 --> 00:26:17.318
We're just standing, believing god.
00:26:17.318 --> 00:26:19.220
By the time the doctor came, she was in the 90s.
00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:22.757
Right now she is healthy and strong,
00:26:22.757 --> 00:26:25.326
And we are grateful for receiving a gospel
00:26:25.326 --> 00:26:29.898
That leaves no room for doubt.
00:26:29.898 --> 00:26:31.533
We're standing on god's word.
