  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.311
  • Joseph prince: there are times that i feel fears,
  • 00:00:12.922 --> 00:00:14.257
  • Worries, anxieties try to attack me,
  • 00:00:14.257 --> 00:00:16.626
  • Try to attack my emotions,
  • 00:00:16.626 --> 00:00:17.961
  • And the only way out is for me to come down before him,
  • 00:00:17.961 --> 00:00:20.930
  • Go somewhere.
  • 00:00:20.930 --> 00:00:22.265
  • You can't, you know, your house is busy,
  • 00:00:22.265 --> 00:00:24.267
  • Drive your car, go somewhere in a park,
  • 00:00:24.267 --> 00:00:26.369
  • Just spend time.
  • 00:00:26.369 --> 00:00:27.704
  • Say, "lord, i come to you right now."
  • 00:00:27.704 --> 00:00:29.672
  • Take a deep breath.
  • 00:00:29.672 --> 00:00:31.341
  • "lord, it is you, lord, what you say is
  • 00:00:31.341 --> 00:00:33.076
  • Most important in this trial.
  • 00:00:33.076 --> 00:00:36.146
  • Lord, it's your presence, lord."
  • 00:00:36.146 --> 00:00:38.148
  • And you know what? what's gonna happen after that?
  • 00:00:38.148 --> 00:00:40.617
  • You take some time, however long you want to,
  • 00:00:40.617 --> 00:00:42.685
  • Just linger in his presence.
  • 00:00:42.685 --> 00:00:44.587
  • You cannot fight your fear away.
  • 00:00:44.587 --> 00:00:46.723
  • You cannot, you know, affirm your fear away.
  • 00:00:46.723 --> 00:00:50.426
  • You can only spend time with the lord
  • 00:00:50.426 --> 00:00:51.761
  • And his perfect love cast out fear.
  • 00:00:51.761 --> 00:00:54.564
  • Amazing.
  • 00:00:54.564 --> 00:00:55.932
  • You don't even know you're being transformed, amen.
  • 00:00:55.932 --> 00:00:58.635
  • Male announcer: have you ever felt too tired to sleep,
  • 00:00:58.701 --> 00:01:01.237
  • Too restless to rest?

  • With today's program.
  • 00:01:35.905 --> 00:01:37.307
  • Joseph prince: you're seated with christ, what?
  • 00:01:37.307 --> 00:01:38.808
  • Far above all principality and power,
  • 00:01:38.808 --> 00:01:41.844
  • Far above all might and dominion,
  • 00:01:41.844 --> 00:01:44.514
  • Not only in this world but also in the world to come.
  • 00:01:44.514 --> 00:01:48.484
  • We are far above it.
  • 00:01:48.484 --> 00:01:51.321
  • I feel so good preaching that.
  • 00:01:51.321 --> 00:01:53.289
  • I feel, i feel like, like, we are safe
  • 00:01:53.289 --> 00:02:00.296
  • Because we are truly there.
  • 00:02:00.296 --> 00:02:02.332
  • We're not trying to get there, we are there.
  • 00:02:02.332 --> 00:02:06.402
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:02:06.402 --> 00:02:07.737
  • The christian life begins with you are there.
  • 00:02:07.737 --> 00:02:11.507
  • You are complete in christ.
  • 00:02:11.507 --> 00:02:13.309
  • There's a starting post, amen.
  • 00:02:13.309 --> 00:02:15.678
  • Like i shared last week, amen.
  • 00:02:15.678 --> 00:02:17.380
  • That's your starting post, and then you walk out
  • 00:02:17.380 --> 00:02:19.582
  • Your completeness, amen.
  • 00:02:19.582 --> 00:02:21.918
  • You are already righteous in christ.
  • 00:02:21.918 --> 00:02:24.120
  • You walk out that righteousness, amen.
  • 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.123
  • You see, some people say, "well, pastor prince,
  • 00:02:27.123 --> 00:02:29.359
  • All this sitting business and all you're teaching,
  • 00:02:29.359 --> 00:02:31.027
  • Resting and all that will not produce--
  • 00:02:31.027 --> 00:02:33.563
  • Will not produce the activity."
  • 00:02:33.563 --> 00:02:35.298
  • Well, i beg to differ
  • 00:02:35.298 --> 00:02:37.300
  • When no one is more rested than jesus.
  • 00:02:37.300 --> 00:02:39.535
  • Have you ever read through the gospels,
  • 00:02:39.535 --> 00:02:41.070
  • Matthew, mark, luke, and john,
  • 00:02:41.070 --> 00:02:42.405
  • And noticed our lord, when you read
  • 00:02:42.405 --> 00:02:44.374
  • With the eyes of the spirit?
  • 00:02:44.374 --> 00:02:45.808
  • He's so calm, he's so relaxed, he has time
  • 00:02:45.808 --> 00:02:49.279
  • For the crowd, but he also has time
  • 00:02:49.279 --> 00:02:51.447
  • For individuals, amen.
  • 00:02:51.447 --> 00:02:53.416
  • He has time to stop while a girl was dying,
  • 00:02:53.416 --> 00:02:56.286
  • Turn around and say, "daughter, be of good comfort.
  • 00:02:56.286 --> 00:02:59.322
  • Your faith has made you well."
  • 00:02:59.322 --> 00:03:01.457
  • He has time, he has time.
  • 00:03:01.457 --> 00:03:03.293
  • It's only we who don't have time, amen.
  • 00:03:03.293 --> 00:03:06.362
  • There there is a move, a cadence, a rhythm of rest
  • 00:03:06.362 --> 00:03:10.033
  • That the lord seems to walk in, and yet no one
  • 00:03:10.033 --> 00:03:12.869
  • Is more active than him.
  • 00:03:12.869 --> 00:03:14.937
  • He accomplished everything the father sent him
  • 00:03:14.937 --> 00:03:16.806
  • To accomplish and cried, "it is finished" at the cross
  • 00:03:16.806 --> 00:03:19.542
  • In three and a half years, amen.
  • 00:03:19.542 --> 00:03:23.546
  • The secret of true activity, paul says,
  • 00:03:23.546 --> 00:03:26.716
  • "i labored more abundantly than they all,
  • 00:03:26.716 --> 00:03:28.685
  • Yet not i, but the grace of god that was with me."
  • 00:03:28.685 --> 00:03:33.589
  • Notice that?
  • 00:03:33.589 --> 00:03:34.924
  • He's very quick to say, "yet not i
  • 00:03:34.924 --> 00:03:36.259
  • But the grace of god."
  • 00:03:36.259 --> 00:03:37.593
  • Grace does not make people lazy.
  • 00:03:37.593 --> 00:03:40.596
  • Watch this, even in the old testament,
  • 00:03:40.596 --> 00:03:42.665
  • In the list of david's mighty men,
  • 00:03:42.665 --> 00:03:45.668
  • This sounds like a chinese movie, you know.
  • 00:03:45.668 --> 00:03:48.471
  • One of them can lift a spear and kill 800 at one time, amen.
  • 00:03:48.471 --> 00:03:52.875
  • Except this is not fiction, this is real.
  • 00:03:52.875 --> 00:03:54.977
  • Look at this, 2 samuel 23.
  • 00:03:54.977 --> 00:03:57.046
  • "these are the names of the mighty men
  • 00:03:57.046 --> 00:03:58.381
  • Whom david had."
  • 00:03:58.381 --> 00:03:59.716
  • Watch this, "josheb."
  • 00:03:59.716 --> 00:04:01.784
  • I hope you got the hebrew last few weeks already.
  • 00:04:01.784 --> 00:04:05.421
  • We've been teaching josheb, josheb, yashav, yashav.
  • 00:04:05.421 --> 00:04:08.257
  • Remember that?
  • 00:04:08.257 --> 00:04:09.592
  • He who dwells, show them again,
  • 00:04:09.592 --> 00:04:11.494
  • He who dwells real quick.
  • 00:04:11.494 --> 00:04:12.829
  • "he who dwells in the secret place
  • 00:04:12.829 --> 00:04:14.163
  • Of the most high," this dwells there
  • 00:04:14.163 --> 00:04:16.366
  • Is the word sit in hebrew, which is the word "yashav."
  • 00:04:16.366 --> 00:04:20.169
  • Literally, all the promises of psalms 91
  • 00:04:20.169 --> 00:04:23.139
  • Is for the one who is seated.
  • 00:04:23.139 --> 00:04:25.675
  • And we are all are seated.
  • 00:04:25.675 --> 00:04:29.312
  • This secret place is not like, "wow,
  • 00:04:29.312 --> 00:04:30.880
  • Pastor prince, it's a mysterious place
  • 00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:32.448
  • And you know what?
  • 00:04:32.448 --> 00:04:33.783
  • Only the elite few will find that place.
  • 00:04:33.783 --> 00:04:36.052
  • Only elite few who are extra holy
  • 00:04:36.052 --> 00:04:38.154
  • Will find that place."
  • 00:04:38.154 --> 00:04:39.489
  • No friend, if you're born again,
  • 00:04:39.489 --> 00:04:40.823
  • Truly born again, not a professor,
  • 00:04:40.823 --> 00:04:42.325
  • But a possessor of eternal life, right, you are there.
  • 00:04:42.325 --> 00:04:46.295
  • You are already in the secret place
  • 00:04:46.295 --> 00:04:47.830
  • Of the most high.
  • 00:04:47.830 --> 00:04:49.332
  • Back then it was secret because the messiah was hidden.
  • 00:04:49.332 --> 00:04:52.535
  • They knew he was coming, but he was hidden.
  • 00:04:52.535 --> 00:04:54.637
  • Now it's no more hidden, amen.
  • 00:04:54.637 --> 00:04:56.806
  • Hidden from the world because he's
  • 00:04:56.806 --> 00:04:58.141
  • In the father's right hand, one day the whole world
  • 00:04:58.141 --> 00:04:59.509
  • Will see him, amen.
  • 00:04:59.509 --> 00:05:01.511
  • He will come bodily for us.
  • 00:05:01.511 --> 00:05:03.746
  • There'll be nothing that will hurt and destroy
  • 00:05:03.746 --> 00:05:05.114
  • Ever again, amen.
  • 00:05:05.114 --> 00:05:06.883
  • And we'll come with him. praise the lord.
  • 00:05:06.883 --> 00:05:08.918
  • In other words, we are going up first.
  • 00:05:08.918 --> 00:05:10.887
  • See, i don't believe we are going through the tribulation.
  • 00:05:10.887 --> 00:05:13.256
  • I don't believe that--there-- seven years of tribulation,
  • 00:05:13.256 --> 00:05:17.260
  • The lord comes for us,
  • 00:05:17.260 --> 00:05:18.594
  • The bible says we will rise to meet him in the air,
  • 00:05:18.594 --> 00:05:20.963
  • And then he says, "okay, reverse,
  • 00:05:20.963 --> 00:05:22.298
  • You're going down again."
  • 00:05:22.298 --> 00:05:23.633
  • Okay, i don't believe that.
  • 00:05:23.633 --> 00:05:24.967
  • I believe that we are coming back
  • 00:05:24.967 --> 00:05:26.302
  • Because we are raptured first.
  • 00:05:26.302 --> 00:05:28.604
  • So rapture can happen anytime, amen.
  • 00:05:28.604 --> 00:05:32.442
  • So the word for sit is what?
  • 00:05:32.442 --> 00:05:34.110
  • "yashav." "yashav."
  • 00:05:34.110 --> 00:05:35.878
  • Sitting down, position before protection.
  • 00:05:35.878 --> 00:05:41.417
  • Position before protection.
  • 00:05:41.417 --> 00:05:43.986
  • So already in god's eyes, we are seated.
  • 00:05:43.986 --> 00:05:47.089
  • Not going to be, already seated.
  • 00:05:47.089 --> 00:05:49.759
  • But experientially, our soul might not feel it,
  • 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.361
  • We are still stressed, worried.
  • 00:05:52.361 --> 00:05:54.130
  • Now, god wants even your soul to line up and feel secure.
  • 00:05:54.130 --> 00:05:59.469
  • Tell the lord i'm seated, amen.
  • 00:05:59.469 --> 00:06:01.838
  • Far above sin, depression, addiction.
  • 00:06:01.838 --> 00:06:06.409
  • Far above ignorance, blindness.
  • 00:06:06.409 --> 00:06:11.047
  • Far above all principality and power.
  • 00:06:11.047 --> 00:06:13.883
  • You are in christ, amen.
  • 00:06:13.883 --> 00:06:16.519
  • And you know it's a grace gift.
  • 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:18.321
  • How can you be proud as if you achieved this position?
  • 00:06:18.321 --> 00:06:22.925
  • No one can say they are self-made men.
  • 00:06:22.925 --> 00:06:24.427
  • We are all christ-made men, amen.
  • 00:06:24.427 --> 00:06:28.631
  • So, sit down, amen.
  • 00:06:28.631 --> 00:06:30.800
  • Position before protection
  • 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.236
  • And also position before provision.
  • 00:06:33.236 --> 00:06:37.173
  • Can i have a good amen, church? come on, hallelujah.
  • 00:06:37.173 --> 00:06:39.909
  • One of the ways the devil works in your life
  • 00:06:39.909 --> 00:06:41.644
  • Is to bring worry, cares, concerns.
  • 00:06:41.644 --> 00:06:44.013
  • When you realize that you are full of worry
  • 00:06:44.013 --> 00:06:45.648
  • Or you're full of care and all that,
  • 00:06:45.648 --> 00:06:46.983
  • Stop in jesus's name.
  • 00:06:46.983 --> 00:06:49.252
  • Cease, be still.
  • 00:06:49.252 --> 00:06:52.355
  • And the word be still there is the word raphah, rest.
  • 00:06:52.355 --> 00:06:58.127
  • Raphah is--the etymology of the word raphah, for healing.
  • 00:06:58.127 --> 00:07:05.234
  • The root word of raphah is raphah with a hei.
  • 00:07:05.234 --> 00:07:09.672
  • And it means rest.
  • 00:07:09.672 --> 00:07:12.008
  • And that verse says, "be still and know i'm god."
  • 00:07:12.008 --> 00:07:14.544
  • It is the word raphah.
  • 00:07:14.544 --> 00:07:16.812
  • Rest and know in the midst of all the financial famine
  • 00:07:16.812 --> 00:07:21.551
  • That seems looming near, god says, "be at rest."
  • 00:07:21.551 --> 00:07:29.725
  • Cease.
  • 00:07:29.725 --> 00:07:31.060
  • "be still," in the king james, raphah and know.
  • 00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:34.830
  • Know what? "i am god."
  • 00:07:34.830 --> 00:07:39.168
  • Notice he's always, "i am."
  • 00:07:39.168 --> 00:07:40.770
  • He's a very present help.
  • 00:07:40.770 --> 00:07:43.039
  • And just like martha said to jesus
  • 00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:44.941
  • After she pushed him to the past,
  • 00:07:44.941 --> 00:07:46.576
  • She will say, "lord, i know that
  • 00:07:46.576 --> 00:07:49.378
  • My brother will rise again in the last day."
  • 00:07:49.378 --> 00:07:52.748
  • Now she pushed jesus to the future.
  • 00:07:52.748 --> 00:07:55.551
  • What did jesus say? "i am."
  • 00:07:55.551 --> 00:07:58.487
  • Not i was.
  • 00:07:58.487 --> 00:08:00.356
  • Not i will be, "i am."
  • 00:08:00.356 --> 00:08:03.392
  • He lives in a timeless zone, amen.
  • 00:08:03.392 --> 00:08:06.963
  • I am the resurrection and the life.
  • 00:08:06.963 --> 00:08:11.334
  • Amen, amen, amen.
  • 00:08:11.334 --> 00:08:14.236
  • Don't put him in the past, don't put him in the future.
  • 00:08:14.236 --> 00:08:17.073
  • I know the lord did mighty miracles,
  • 00:08:17.073 --> 00:08:19.709
  • Even healings when he was on earth,
  • 00:08:19.709 --> 00:08:21.143
  • Went about doing good, healing all, but in the future,
  • 00:08:21.143 --> 00:08:23.646
  • Pastor prince, we also know there'll be no sick people
  • 00:08:23.646 --> 00:08:25.748
  • And all that in the millennium and all that.
  • 00:08:25.748 --> 00:08:27.249
  • But now, now, now is where we live.
  • 00:08:27.249 --> 00:08:30.419
  • And now is where he lives, amen.
  • 00:08:30.419 --> 00:08:33.723
  • "i am that i am," he says, amen.
  • 00:08:33.723 --> 00:08:38.094
  • So let's go right now to something
  • 00:08:38.094 --> 00:08:40.963
  • That i wanna show you that i believe
  • 00:08:40.963 --> 00:08:42.765
  • Is gonna bless you.
  • 00:08:42.765 --> 00:08:44.100
  • Time is just flying, isn't it?
  • 00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:46.736
  • Sometimes the devil attacks because we have allowed
  • 00:08:46.736 --> 00:08:51.440
  • The devil to attack because in a sense that,
  • 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.677
  • You know, if you neglect to feed your soul
  • 00:08:54.677 --> 00:08:57.446
  • On the word of god,
  • 00:08:57.446 --> 00:09:00.082
  • You're opening up yourself for an attack.
  • 00:09:00.082 --> 00:09:01.884
  • Realize this, the word attack, for example, the word--
  • 00:09:01.884 --> 00:09:05.454
  • Let me give you this verse.
  • 00:09:05.454 --> 00:09:06.789
  • Amalek came in, give them exodus 17.
  • 00:09:06.789 --> 00:09:09.091
  • "now amalek came and fought with israel in rephidim."
  • 00:09:09.091 --> 00:09:11.494
  • The word fought is the word lacham.
  • 00:09:11.494 --> 00:09:14.230
  • Lacham, let me show you the word lacham.
  • 00:09:14.230 --> 00:09:16.465
  • Lacham is spelled like this, right to left, hebrew.
  • 00:09:16.532 --> 00:09:20.603
  • "lamed," "chet," "mem."
  • 00:09:20.603 --> 00:09:24.774
  • Lacham, say lacham, is the word fight.
  • 00:09:24.774 --> 00:09:27.576
  • The enemy comes and fight with you.
  • 00:09:27.576 --> 00:09:29.445
  • Usually in the hebrew, within the word is
  • 00:09:29.445 --> 00:09:31.380
  • Also the answer.
  • 00:09:31.380 --> 00:09:35.918
  • What's the answer for fight?
  • 00:09:35.918 --> 00:09:37.486
  • Is the word lacham.
  • 00:09:37.486 --> 00:09:39.422
  • Same spelling, lechem means bread, feed.
  • 00:09:39.422 --> 00:09:44.427
  • Bethlehem is bet is house, lechem, bethlehem,
  • 00:09:44.427 --> 00:09:48.631
  • House of bread.
  • 00:09:48.631 --> 00:09:49.965
  • Jesus was born in the house of bread
  • 00:09:49.965 --> 00:09:51.434
  • To be the bread of life and to all of us.
  • 00:09:51.434 --> 00:09:55.237
  • Now, lechem, notice the spelling,
  • 00:09:55.237 --> 00:09:57.573
  • So the pronunciation is different
  • 00:09:57.573 --> 00:09:59.008
  • Because of the punctuation marks,
  • 00:09:59.008 --> 00:10:00.342
  • But the spelling is the same.
  • 00:10:00.342 --> 00:10:03.612
  • Within the problem is the answer.
  • 00:10:03.612 --> 00:10:06.415
  • In the crisis, christ is, amen.
  • 00:10:06.415 --> 00:10:12.354
  • Lacham, fight. lechem, feed.
  • 00:10:12.354 --> 00:10:16.025
  • When you feed, you are fighting.
  • 00:10:16.025 --> 00:10:20.496
  • Remember the lord in psalms 23, the lord,
  • 00:10:20.496 --> 00:10:25.201
  • What does he do for us in the midst of our enemies,
  • 00:10:25.201 --> 00:10:28.337
  • In the face of our enemies?
  • 00:10:28.337 --> 00:10:29.872
  • He prepare a table.
  • 00:10:29.872 --> 00:10:31.974
  • "thou preparest a table before me in the presence,"
  • 00:10:31.974 --> 00:10:35.511
  • Not the absence.
  • 00:10:35.511 --> 00:10:36.946
  • While your symptoms are still attacking your body.
  • 00:10:36.946 --> 00:10:40.149
  • While the financial problem is still staring you in the face.
  • 00:10:40.149 --> 00:10:43.619
  • While your son is still in--under the addiction.
  • 00:10:43.619 --> 00:10:47.189
  • While you find yourself struggling with a sinful habit
  • 00:10:47.189 --> 00:10:50.159
  • And you don't seem to find victory,
  • 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.294
  • God says, don't wait until victory,
  • 00:10:52.294 --> 00:10:53.996
  • Then you feed.
  • 00:10:53.996 --> 00:10:55.331
  • Feed in the presence of your enemies.
  • 00:10:55.331 --> 00:10:59.268
  • "i prepare a table before you
  • 00:10:59.268 --> 00:11:01.036
  • In the presence of your enemies."
  • 00:11:01.036 --> 00:11:03.672
  • By the way, the word lacham means fight,
  • 00:11:03.672 --> 00:11:07.109
  • Lechem means bread.
  • 00:11:07.109 --> 00:11:08.577
  • We know that bread, i believe, speaks a lot of also
  • 00:11:08.577 --> 00:11:11.547
  • Of the communion.
  • 00:11:11.547 --> 00:11:13.282
  • As we partake, we are actually battling.
  • 00:11:13.282 --> 00:11:16.752
  • But also during this time, the way you fight is
  • 00:11:16.752 --> 00:11:19.522
  • To spend more time in the word, listening to the word of god,
  • 00:11:19.522 --> 00:11:22.892
  • Amen.
  • 00:11:22.892 --> 00:11:24.226
  • Tuning into the podcast, tuning into the--
  • 00:11:24.226 --> 00:11:26.629
  • I don't know if people listen to podcasts anymore,
  • 00:11:26.629 --> 00:11:27.963
  • But listen on digital, online, just listen to the word,
  • 00:11:27.963 --> 00:11:30.933
  • Amen, praise the lord, and make sure
  • 00:11:30.933 --> 00:11:33.169
  • That it's the word that's based on scripture
  • 00:11:33.169 --> 00:11:35.337
  • And christ-centered, amen.
  • 00:11:35.337 --> 00:11:38.340
  • The only way out of this is to eat your way out.
  • 00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:41.377
  • Eat your way out of your trial.
  • 00:11:41.377 --> 00:11:43.145
  • Eat your way out to the other side,
  • 00:11:43.145 --> 00:11:45.281
  • A larger space, a wealthier place,
  • 00:11:45.281 --> 00:11:47.516
  • A bigger place that god has for you.
  • 00:11:47.516 --> 00:11:49.785
  • Can i have a good amen? amen.
  • 00:11:49.785 --> 00:11:51.821
  • Let me close with this by telling you this,
  • 00:11:51.821 --> 00:11:53.589
  • Go back to exodus 17.
  • 00:11:53.589 --> 00:11:56.959
  • Now "amalek came and fought with israel
  • 00:11:56.959 --> 00:11:58.861
  • And rephidim."
  • 00:11:58.861 --> 00:12:00.196
  • Rephidim, israel is a rephidim.
  • 00:12:00.196 --> 00:12:01.864
  • I was saying just now, sometimes you
  • 00:12:01.864 --> 00:12:03.199
  • Don't do anything wrong and you're attacked.
  • 00:12:03.199 --> 00:12:05.734
  • Doesn't mean that people are attacked
  • 00:12:05.734 --> 00:12:07.069
  • Because they do something wrong.
  • 00:12:07.069 --> 00:12:09.438
  • Listen, rephidim means resting place.
  • 00:12:09.438 --> 00:12:15.277
  • Rephidim means resting place, is plural actually.
  • 00:12:15.277 --> 00:12:18.781
  • Israel was in a resting place and amalek came.
  • 00:12:18.781 --> 00:12:21.717
  • Amalek comes from the word amal.
  • 00:12:21.717 --> 00:12:24.420
  • Amal means, listen, amal means painful,
  • 00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:27.823
  • Stressful labor.
  • 00:12:27.823 --> 00:12:29.358
  • It means stressful labor.
  • 00:12:29.358 --> 00:12:31.460
  • Amal came to attack, amen.
  • 00:12:31.460 --> 00:12:35.231
  • Amalek came to attack.
  • 00:12:35.231 --> 00:12:37.566
  • The enemy will come, trying to push you
  • 00:12:37.566 --> 00:12:40.102
  • Into stressful labor.
  • 00:12:40.102 --> 00:12:41.437
  • Nothing wrong with labor.
  • 00:12:41.437 --> 00:12:42.771
  • Like i said, paul says, "i labored more abundantly
  • 00:12:42.771 --> 00:12:44.440
  • Than they all," all the other apostles even,
  • 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:46.709
  • All right?
  • 00:12:46.709 --> 00:12:48.043
  • "yet not i, but the grace of god
  • 00:12:48.043 --> 00:12:49.378
  • That's with me."
  • 00:12:49.378 --> 00:12:50.713
  • But labor should not be painful labor.
  • 00:12:50.713 --> 00:12:53.315
  • Christ redeemed us when he sweat blood
  • 00:12:53.315 --> 00:12:55.284
  • In the garden of gethsemane, all right, he redeemed us
  • 00:12:55.284 --> 00:12:59.054
  • From that curse of eden, when god says,
  • 00:12:59.054 --> 00:13:01.323
  • "by the sweat of your face, you will eat bread."
  • 00:13:01.323 --> 00:13:04.093
  • And because he sweat blood, there's a redeeming quality
  • 00:13:04.093 --> 00:13:06.996
  • To jesus's blood.
  • 00:13:06.996 --> 00:13:08.330
  • When his blood was shed, jesus redeemed us
  • 00:13:08.330 --> 00:13:10.900
  • From the curse of human sweat, the curse of painful labor,
  • 00:13:10.900 --> 00:13:14.603
  • Stressful labor.
  • 00:13:14.603 --> 00:13:15.938
  • We labor, but with no stress.
  • 00:13:15.938 --> 00:13:17.840
  • In jesus's name, hallelujah, amen.
  • 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:22.611
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:13:22.611 --> 00:13:24.713
  • Now, let's go back to john 6 in closing.
  • 00:13:24.713 --> 00:13:27.750
  • Last week we covered that the lord said
  • 00:13:27.750 --> 00:13:29.585
  • To the people, sit down, make the people sit down,
  • 00:13:29.585 --> 00:13:31.587
  • And they all sat down in ranks,
  • 00:13:31.587 --> 00:13:33.622
  • In multiples of five, by the way.
  • 00:13:33.622 --> 00:13:35.758
  • In mark's version, it says, "make them sit down
  • 00:13:35.758 --> 00:13:38.360
  • In companies of groups on the green grass."
  • 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:42.298
  • You know, imagine someone says, "hey,
  • 00:13:42.298 --> 00:13:44.433
  • This is very familiar," the green grass, the lord.
  • 00:13:44.433 --> 00:13:47.836
  • "the lord is my shepherd. makes me lie down."
  • 00:13:47.836 --> 00:13:50.506
  • And the word sit down in the greek even
  • 00:13:50.506 --> 00:13:53.742
  • And in jesus's day, is the word recline.
  • 00:13:53.742 --> 00:13:55.945
  • They recline to eat, position yourself
  • 00:13:55.945 --> 00:13:58.013
  • As if you're about to eat.
  • 00:13:58.013 --> 00:13:59.548
  • You know, whenever you want a miracle to happen,
  • 00:13:59.548 --> 00:14:00.883
  • You know, don't act like there's not enough food,
  • 00:14:00.883 --> 00:14:02.818
  • Running around and all that.
  • 00:14:02.818 --> 00:14:04.219
  • You're not positioning yourself, amen.
  • 00:14:04.219 --> 00:14:06.388
  • Position, "but i don't see the bread multiplied yet.
  • 00:14:06.388 --> 00:14:08.457
  • I only see five loaves down there."
  • 00:14:08.457 --> 00:14:10.426
  • And the lord says, "position yourself first."
  • 00:14:10.426 --> 00:14:13.062
  • Recline, position, make them all sit down.
  • 00:14:13.062 --> 00:14:14.863
  • In fact, some version says, "command them all to sit down."
  • 00:14:14.863 --> 00:14:17.633
  • Here it says command, "commanded them
  • 00:14:17.633 --> 00:14:19.735
  • To make them all sit down in groups."
  • 00:14:19.735 --> 00:14:21.070
  • You know what?
  • 00:14:21.070 --> 00:14:22.404
  • What is it that god has to command us to rest?
  • 00:14:22.404 --> 00:14:25.240
  • What is it about us that god has to command us
  • 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.309
  • To rest?
  • 00:14:27.309 --> 00:14:29.979
  • "and so they all sat down in ranks, in hundreds
  • 00:14:29.979 --> 00:14:31.847
  • And in fifties," okay?
  • 00:14:31.847 --> 00:14:34.416
  • Now, he fed them. he fed them.
  • 00:14:34.416 --> 00:14:36.618
  • And the bible says in john 6, you go to john 6,
  • 00:14:36.618 --> 00:14:39.021
  • It says that, the last part here,
  • 00:14:39.021 --> 00:14:41.490
  • It says in verse 11, "he gave them the loaves
  • 00:14:41.490 --> 00:14:44.693
  • And fishes, as much as they wanted."
  • 00:14:44.693 --> 00:14:47.529
  • He gave to those who are sitting down.
  • 00:14:47.529 --> 00:14:49.898
  • Those who are running around didn't receive.
  • 00:14:49.898 --> 00:14:51.667
  • Those who are sitting down received how much?
  • 00:14:51.667 --> 00:14:54.770
  • As much as god's will.
  • 00:14:54.770 --> 00:14:57.840
  • Doesn't say about god's will here.
  • 00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:59.241
  • As much as they wanted.
  • 00:14:59.241 --> 00:15:01.276
  • The moment they say, "enough," the supply stop.
  • 00:15:01.276 --> 00:15:04.246
  • The supply is always greater than your need.
  • 00:15:04.246 --> 00:15:08.083
  • I said the supply is always greater than your need.
  • 00:15:08.083 --> 00:15:10.552
  • So drop down after that in john 6, "therefore
  • 00:15:10.552 --> 00:15:14.390
  • When jesus perceived they were about to come
  • 00:15:14.390 --> 00:15:17.159
  • And take him by force to make him king,
  • 00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.328
  • He departed again to the mountain
  • 00:15:19.328 --> 00:15:20.829
  • By himself alone."
  • 00:15:20.829 --> 00:15:22.231
  • Let's look at mark's version of this.
  • 00:15:22.231 --> 00:15:25.501
  • There's something very interesting
  • 00:15:25.501 --> 00:15:26.835
  • That mark mentioned that john doesn't mention,
  • 00:15:26.835 --> 00:15:28.670
  • And there's some things that john mentioned
  • 00:15:28.670 --> 00:15:30.005
  • That mark doesn't mention.
  • 00:15:30.005 --> 00:15:31.340
  • That's why we put all the four gospels together,
  • 00:15:31.340 --> 00:15:33.375
  • And they each have a reason,
  • 00:15:33.375 --> 00:15:36.011
  • Just like the lord is in matthew, the king,
  • 00:15:36.011 --> 00:15:39.515
  • And in mark, the strong ox, amen.
  • 00:15:39.515 --> 00:15:43.152
  • Do you know an ox laboring, and when an ox labors, right?
  • 00:15:43.152 --> 00:15:47.189
  • Do you know that it's a steady labor?
  • 00:15:47.189 --> 00:15:49.825
  • An ox doesn't start and stop like some animals.
  • 00:15:49.825 --> 00:15:52.761
  • It's a strong, steady labor, strong, unceasing, steady labor.
  • 00:15:52.761 --> 00:15:59.368
  • Strong labor.
  • 00:15:59.368 --> 00:16:00.702
  • And our lord is typified as an ox in the book of mark.
  • 00:16:00.702 --> 00:16:05.240
  • Luke, man.
  • 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.142
  • The phrase "son of man" appears so often
  • 00:16:07.142 --> 00:16:09.244
  • In the book of luke.
  • 00:16:09.244 --> 00:16:10.579
  • John, the eagle, amen.
  • 00:16:10.579 --> 00:16:14.416
  • Because he came from heaven and the word
  • 00:16:14.416 --> 00:16:17.386
  • Became flesh, hallelujah.
  • 00:16:17.386 --> 00:16:19.955
  • Friend, "when evening--" now notice,
  • 00:16:19.955 --> 00:16:23.492
  • He had sent them away, the disciples,
  • 00:16:23.492 --> 00:16:25.427
  • He put them in the boat and head them
  • 00:16:25.427 --> 00:16:27.062
  • Towards capernaum opposite bethsaida,
  • 00:16:27.062 --> 00:16:30.265
  • And he sent them there when evening came.
  • 00:16:30.265 --> 00:16:33.602
  • Now, what did he do?
  • 00:16:33.602 --> 00:16:34.937
  • He departed to the mountain to pray.
  • 00:16:34.937 --> 00:16:36.271
  • He went to the mountain to pray. friends, listen.
  • 00:16:36.271 --> 00:16:38.207
  • He went to the mountain to pray.
  • 00:16:38.207 --> 00:16:39.541
  • This is a picture of our lord today.
  • 00:16:39.541 --> 00:16:41.577
  • Where is he?
  • 00:16:41.577 --> 00:16:42.911
  • On the mountain at the father's right hand.
  • 00:16:42.911 --> 00:16:45.080
  • It's a picture of-- mountains usually in the bible
  • 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.516
  • Is a picture of kingdom.
  • 00:16:47.516 --> 00:16:49.618
  • So where is jesus now?
  • 00:16:49.618 --> 00:16:50.953
  • At the father's right hand, praying for you and i,
  • 00:16:50.953 --> 00:16:55.157
  • Making intercession for us.
  • 00:16:55.157 --> 00:16:57.159
  • He's praying, right? so bodily, he's not with us.
  • 00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:00.963
  • He's with us by his holy spirit.
  • 00:17:00.963 --> 00:17:03.699
  • His presence with us, right? amen.
  • 00:17:03.699 --> 00:17:06.935
  • But where is he bodily? at the father's right hand.
  • 00:17:06.935 --> 00:17:09.972
  • And he will stand up and come for us soon,
  • 00:17:09.972 --> 00:17:12.307
  • I believe, amen.
  • 00:17:12.307 --> 00:17:14.576
  • Keep looking up, hallelujah.
  • 00:17:14.576 --> 00:17:16.345
  • So this is a picture right now. where's the church?
  • 00:17:16.345 --> 00:17:18.547
  • In the sea. sea speaks of ocean.
  • 00:17:18.547 --> 00:17:21.617
  • Sea speaks of, sorry, sea speaks of nations,
  • 00:17:21.617 --> 00:17:24.987
  • I was gonna say.
  • 00:17:24.987 --> 00:17:26.321
  • Ocean, [laughs].
  • 00:17:26.321 --> 00:17:28.657
  • So, nations of the world, the sea is full of turmoil
  • 00:17:28.657 --> 00:17:33.795
  • And stormy, it's like the nations that have no rest.
  • 00:17:33.795 --> 00:17:38.367
  • And where's the boat?
  • 00:17:38.367 --> 00:17:39.701
  • The boat is like a cluster, a church
  • 00:17:39.701 --> 00:17:42.638
  • In the midst of the sea.
  • 00:17:42.638 --> 00:17:44.873
  • So what's happening now?
  • 00:17:44.873 --> 00:17:46.208
  • When evening came, the boat was--you know,
  • 00:17:46.208 --> 00:17:49.111
  • The lord is so cool, isn't it?
  • 00:17:49.111 --> 00:17:50.445
  • They came to make him king, you know.
  • 00:17:50.445 --> 00:17:52.247
  • Most people would just fall for that.
  • 00:17:52.247 --> 00:17:54.516
  • He sent them away.
  • 00:17:54.516 --> 00:17:57.019
  • "there's no way, go back home," amen.
  • 00:17:57.019 --> 00:17:59.688
  • And he went to the mountain to pray.
  • 00:17:59.688 --> 00:18:01.757
  • "and while he was praying, evening came,
  • 00:18:01.757 --> 00:18:03.392
  • The boat was in the middle of the sea;
  • 00:18:03.392 --> 00:18:05.360
  • And he was alone on the land.
  • 00:18:05.360 --> 00:18:07.863
  • Then he saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was
  • 00:18:07.863 --> 00:18:11.133
  • Against them."
  • 00:18:11.133 --> 00:18:12.467
  • The word straining at rowing is the counterpart
  • 00:18:12.467 --> 00:18:15.938
  • In the greek for the word amal,
  • 00:18:15.938 --> 00:18:17.973
  • It's actually strenuous straining,
  • 00:18:17.973 --> 00:18:21.677
  • Strenuous work, stressful labor.
  • 00:18:21.677 --> 00:18:24.646
  • Amalek again.
  • 00:18:24.646 --> 00:18:26.081
  • It's like the church getting into all these works,
  • 00:18:26.081 --> 00:18:28.717
  • Into all this labor, into all this stress.
  • 00:18:28.717 --> 00:18:31.320
  • You know, they're trying to accomplish,
  • 00:18:31.320 --> 00:18:32.955
  • They don't realize that if they rest,
  • 00:18:32.955 --> 00:18:35.023
  • They were blessed, even 800 at one time, amen.
  • 00:18:35.023 --> 00:18:39.628
  • But they're striving, they're striving at rowing,
  • 00:18:39.628 --> 00:18:41.630
  • They mean well.
  • 00:18:41.630 --> 00:18:43.198
  • They want to do what's right.
  • 00:18:43.198 --> 00:18:44.666
  • The lord told them to go to the other side.
  • 00:18:44.666 --> 00:18:46.668
  • They want to obey the lord, but they are
  • 00:18:46.668 --> 00:18:48.237
  • Using their own efforts and the wind is contrary,
  • 00:18:48.237 --> 00:18:50.806
  • And the bible says that in the last days,
  • 00:18:50.806 --> 00:18:52.908
  • You know, there'll be all kinds of winds
  • 00:18:52.908 --> 00:18:55.210
  • Of doctrine, amen.
  • 00:18:55.210 --> 00:18:56.878
  • The church, don't be tossed to and fro, amen,
  • 00:18:56.878 --> 00:18:59.514
  • With every wind of doctrine, amen.
  • 00:18:59.514 --> 00:19:02.451
  • Make sure that it's after christ, the stature,
  • 00:19:02.451 --> 00:19:05.053
  • The fullness of the son of god, amen.
  • 00:19:05.053 --> 00:19:07.456
  • We all grew up into him, hallelujah.
  • 00:19:07.456 --> 00:19:09.891
  • So the lord saw them. when did he see them?
  • 00:19:09.891 --> 00:19:12.160
  • In the fourth watch of the night.
  • 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.463
  • "now by the fourth watch of the night
  • 00:19:14.463 --> 00:19:16.298
  • He came to them, walking on the sea."
  • 00:19:16.298 --> 00:19:20.869
  • Sometimes we can't come to the lord,
  • 00:19:20.869 --> 00:19:22.838
  • And we are so--always our mind is that, "i must go to the lord,
  • 00:19:22.838 --> 00:19:26.008
  • I must go to the lord," as if the lord is not willing.
  • 00:19:26.008 --> 00:19:28.910
  • But you know when he comes to us,
  • 00:19:28.910 --> 00:19:30.245
  • We can't go to him, but you know what?
  • 00:19:30.245 --> 00:19:31.580
  • He can come to us.
  • 00:19:31.580 --> 00:19:33.081
  • And you know when he comes to us?
  • 00:19:33.081 --> 00:19:34.416
  • In the darkest times of our lives.
  • 00:19:34.416 --> 00:19:38.687
  • The fourth watch, let's say there's a clock here right now
  • 00:19:38.687 --> 00:19:40.722
  • Facing all of you, okay?
  • 00:19:40.722 --> 00:19:42.424
  • So here's 12, here's 6. am i right?
  • 00:19:42.424 --> 00:19:45.027
  • So, in the evening, during jesus's time,
  • 00:19:45.027 --> 00:19:47.829
  • Is this how watches are reckoned,
  • 00:19:47.829 --> 00:19:51.066
  • From six to nine is the first watch.
  • 00:19:51.066 --> 00:19:54.136
  • Nighttime already, right?
  • 00:19:54.136 --> 00:19:55.771
  • Nine to twelve is second watch.
  • 00:19:55.771 --> 00:19:58.273
  • Twelve to three is the third watch.
  • 00:19:58.273 --> 00:20:01.543
  • Three to six is the fourth watch,
  • 00:20:01.543 --> 00:20:05.547
  • Darkest before dawn.
  • 00:20:05.547 --> 00:20:06.982
  • That's the time jesus came to them.
  • 00:20:06.982 --> 00:20:09.751
  • He didn't come to them any earlier.
  • 00:20:09.751 --> 00:20:12.688
  • He came to them at the darkest time.
  • 00:20:12.688 --> 00:20:16.958
  • "walking on the sea and would have passed them by."
  • 00:20:16.958 --> 00:20:19.194
  • Now drop down.
  • 00:20:19.194 --> 00:20:20.529
  • "when they saw him walking on the sea,
  • 00:20:20.529 --> 00:20:21.897
  • They supposed it was a ghost and cried out."
  • 00:20:21.897 --> 00:20:24.066
  • Many a times the lord comes to you,
  • 00:20:24.066 --> 00:20:25.500
  • But you didn't recognize him in the darkest moments
  • 00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:28.837
  • And you think it's a ghost.
  • 00:20:28.837 --> 00:20:30.739
  • You think it's something else.
  • 00:20:30.739 --> 00:20:32.274
  • You think that it cannot be the lord.
  • 00:20:32.274 --> 00:20:34.676
  • Sometimes he speaks through your wife.
  • 00:20:34.676 --> 00:20:37.145
  • Sometimes he speaks through your child.
  • 00:20:37.145 --> 00:20:40.649
  • But you're waiting for him to come the way you want him
  • 00:20:40.649 --> 00:20:42.751
  • To come.
  • 00:20:42.751 --> 00:20:44.086
  • There are times that i feel fears,
  • 00:20:44.086 --> 00:20:45.420
  • Worries, anxieties, try to attack me,
  • 00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:47.656
  • Try to attack my emotions, and the only way out
  • 00:20:47.656 --> 00:20:50.125
  • Is for me to come down before him, go somewhere.
  • 00:20:50.125 --> 00:20:53.028
  • You can't, you know, your house is busy,
  • 00:20:53.028 --> 00:20:54.896
  • Drive your car, go somewhere in a park,
  • 00:20:54.896 --> 00:20:56.998
  • Just spend time.
  • 00:20:56.998 --> 00:20:58.333
  • Say, "lord, i come to you right now."
  • 00:20:58.333 --> 00:21:00.335
  • Take a deep breath.
  • 00:21:00.335 --> 00:21:02.003
  • "lord, it is you, lord, what you say is
  • 00:21:02.003 --> 00:21:03.739
  • Most important in this trial.
  • 00:21:03.739 --> 00:21:06.808
  • Lord, it's your presence, lord."
  • 00:21:06.808 --> 00:21:08.777
  • And you know what? what 's gonna happen after that?
  • 00:21:08.777 --> 00:21:11.313
  • You take some time, however long you want to,
  • 00:21:11.313 --> 00:21:13.348
  • Just linger in his presence.
  • 00:21:13.348 --> 00:21:15.050
  • Enjoy his love more than anything else.
  • 00:21:15.050 --> 00:21:17.519
  • Listen to something edifying, like a joseph prince message,
  • 00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:21.156
  • Okay?
  • 00:21:21.156 --> 00:21:22.491
  • There are many other good messages,
  • 00:21:22.491 --> 00:21:23.825
  • But i know myself, so i know it's good.
  • 00:21:23.825 --> 00:21:26.294
  • I think it's pretty good, amen.
  • 00:21:26.294 --> 00:21:30.766
  • Listen to the message, fight this fear,
  • 00:21:30.766 --> 00:21:33.835
  • Worries, all these enemies, by feeding,
  • 00:21:33.835 --> 00:21:37.739
  • And then listen to-- and talk to god.
  • 00:21:37.739 --> 00:21:39.775
  • I guarantee you'll go home to your family different.
  • 00:21:39.775 --> 00:21:43.812
  • Like the bible says, "you look for your fear
  • 00:21:43.812 --> 00:21:46.248
  • And find fear no more."
  • 00:21:46.248 --> 00:21:47.716
  • You cannot fight your fear away.
  • 00:21:47.716 --> 00:21:49.918
  • You cannot, you know, affirm your fear away.
  • 00:21:49.918 --> 00:21:53.422
  • You can only spend time with the lord
  • 00:21:53.422 --> 00:21:54.890
  • And his perfect love cast out fear, amazing.
  • 00:21:54.890 --> 00:21:58.527
  • You don't even know you're being transformed, amen.
  • 00:21:58.527 --> 00:22:01.396
  • Friend, he's the lord of time and space.
  • 00:22:01.396 --> 00:22:04.933
  • When the amaleks come against you,
  • 00:22:04.933 --> 00:22:07.369
