- "now what can you expect?
- 00:00:13.365 --> 00:00:14.566
- You can expect bad health, all right?
- 00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:16.468
- You know what's gonna happen?
- 00:00:16.602 --> 00:00:17.803
- Your kids will be in trouble because of your sin just now,"
- 00:00:17.936 --> 00:00:18.971
- And because of this and that.
- 00:00:20.506 --> 00:00:21.840

- 00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:24.343
- In hebrews 10.
- 00:00:24.343 --> 00:00:25.677

- 00:00:25.677 --> 00:00:28.580
- But this preaching of grace, where sin increase,
- 00:00:28.580 --> 00:00:30.849

- My children will be doubly blessed.
- 00:00:36.288 --> 00:00:38.190

- And now, here's pastor joseph prince
- 00:01:44.523 --> 00:01:46.959
- With today's program.
- 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:48.327
- Joseph prince: you know, the bible tells us that--
- 00:01:48.327 --> 00:01:51.296
- Let's put up leviticus 14, yes, verse 1 to 4.
- 00:01:51.296 --> 00:01:55.534
- "the lord spoke to moses,
- 00:01:55.534 --> 00:01:56.935
- Saying, 'this shall be the law of the leper
- 00:01:56.935 --> 00:01:59.705
- For the day of his cleansing.'"
- 00:01:59.705 --> 00:02:01.106
- Now, stop.
- 00:02:01.106 --> 00:02:02.441
- When you read things like this and god devotes
- 00:02:02.441 --> 00:02:03.976
- An entire chapter--in fact more than one chapter on leprosy
- 00:02:03.976 --> 00:02:07.312
- In the book of leviticus,
- 00:02:07.312 --> 00:02:10.449
- You know that he's not just referring to leprosy
- 00:02:10.449 --> 00:02:12.918
- Because many people don't suffer leprosy today.
- 00:02:12.918 --> 00:02:15.854
- There are still people suffering leprosy.
- 00:02:15.854 --> 00:02:17.923
- And everything in the old testament is a type,
- 00:02:17.923 --> 00:02:19.725
- Is a shadow of a substance.
- 00:02:19.725 --> 00:02:21.460
- So what is leprosy?
- 00:02:21.460 --> 00:02:23.195
- Leprosy is something that-- in those days if they contract
- 00:02:23.195 --> 00:02:26.531
- Leprosy, all right, they are cut off from their families.
- 00:02:26.531 --> 00:02:29.935
- Amen. they live isolated.
- 00:02:29.935 --> 00:02:32.204
- Amen.
- 00:02:32.204 --> 00:02:33.538
- It's a very se--it's almost like a life sentence.
- 00:02:33.538 --> 00:02:36.241
- Amen?
- 00:02:36.241 --> 00:02:37.776
- Where most of the cases they don't get cleansed,
- 00:02:37.776 --> 00:02:41.113
- Many of them they literally sort of degenerate
- 00:02:41.113 --> 00:02:44.149
- And they--their body parts rot away.
- 00:02:44.149 --> 00:02:47.119
- But it's more than just the physical thing the lord
- 00:02:47.119 --> 00:02:50.289
- Is talking about.
- 00:02:50.289 --> 00:02:51.657
- It's our sin.
- 00:02:51.657 --> 00:02:53.025
- Growth in christ is not getting stronger and stronger, amen,
- 00:02:53.025 --> 00:02:58.530
- In every way you feel that you are stronger, all right?
- 00:02:58.530 --> 00:03:01.433
- You can overcome this, overcome that.
- 00:03:01.433 --> 00:03:02.801
- Actually, you feel weaker and weaker in and of yourself,
- 00:03:02.801 --> 00:03:07.272
- But then there's a greater and greater dependence
- 00:03:07.272 --> 00:03:09.875
- On christ.
- 00:03:09.875 --> 00:03:11.209
- That, my friend, is spiritual growth.
- 00:03:11.209 --> 00:03:13.111
- So notice it says, "this shall be the law of the leper
- 00:03:13.111 --> 00:03:14.913
- For the day of his cleansing:
- 00:03:14.913 --> 00:03:16.381
- He shall be brought to the priest."
- 00:03:16.381 --> 00:03:17.883
- Notice the passive voice he shall be brought.
- 00:03:17.883 --> 00:03:21.586
- How many of you know that if we were not brought
- 00:03:21.586 --> 00:03:23.722
- By the holy spirit to jesus we'll never be saved?
- 00:03:23.722 --> 00:03:27.259
- When i was in israel a number of years ago,
- 00:03:27.259 --> 00:03:29.995
- I took some time out
- 00:03:29.995 --> 00:03:32.597
- From my group, which are all my pastors, all right?
- 00:03:32.597 --> 00:03:35.467
- And the pastors still remember this.
- 00:03:35.467 --> 00:03:37.402
- I took some time to walk the other side.
- 00:03:37.402 --> 00:03:39.404
- So i went to the other side of the sermon--many of you
- 00:03:39.404 --> 00:03:41.440
- Have been there, the mount of beatitudes.
- 00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:42.808
- It's still so beautiful.
- 00:03:42.808 --> 00:03:44.543
- And the place where jesus was preaching, amen,
- 00:03:44.543 --> 00:03:47.312
- You can tell where most likely he is.
- 00:03:47.312 --> 00:03:49.614
- It's not such a big space.
- 00:03:49.614 --> 00:03:51.016
- He must be around there somewhere on the hill.
- 00:03:51.016 --> 00:03:53.919
- Amen. the people are down there.
- 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:55.287
- But i went this way. because why this way?
- 00:03:55.287 --> 00:03:57.456
- This way goes straight to the town of capernaum,
- 00:03:57.456 --> 00:04:01.793
- And right after the sermon on the mount
- 00:04:01.793 --> 00:04:03.128
- The bible says jesus headed to capernaum
- 00:04:03.128 --> 00:04:05.197
- Where he proceeded to heal the centurion servant
- 00:04:05.197 --> 00:04:09.334
- In capernaum and the rest of the account in capernaum.
- 00:04:09.334 --> 00:04:11.603
- So to go to capernaum, you don't go down to where the crowd is.
- 00:04:11.603 --> 00:04:14.873
- That is going towards tiberius area.
- 00:04:14.873 --> 00:04:17.209
- Amen?
- 00:04:17.209 --> 00:04:18.577
- He would have not gone down this way.
- 00:04:18.577 --> 00:04:20.545
- He went down this way.
- 00:04:20.545 --> 00:04:21.880
- To further confirmed it in--confirm this,
- 00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:24.082
- At the end of the sermon on the mount
- 00:04:24.082 --> 00:04:25.617
- The bible says, "and he went down the mountain
- 00:04:25.617 --> 00:04:27.686
- And great multitudes followed him."
- 00:04:27.686 --> 00:04:29.688
- If he went down to where the multitudes were,
- 00:04:29.688 --> 00:04:32.391
- They don't have to follow him.
- 00:04:32.391 --> 00:04:34.793
- So obviously he went this way.
- 00:04:34.793 --> 00:04:36.128
- The multitudes followed him.
- 00:04:36.128 --> 00:04:37.462
- They were saying, "where is he going?"
- 00:04:37.462 --> 00:04:39.264
- Now, it's very beautiful, and this revelation came to me.
- 00:04:39.264 --> 00:04:42.801
- Never heard anyone preach this, but this came to me
- 00:04:42.801 --> 00:04:44.836
- When i was there.
- 00:04:44.836 --> 00:04:46.204
- There was a leper hiding somewhere there.
- 00:04:46.204 --> 00:04:48.206
- I say he's hiding because when i went down there
- 00:04:48.206 --> 00:04:50.409
- I saw a lot of volcanic rocks that--you know,
- 00:04:50.409 --> 00:04:54.079
- The whole area is strewn.
- 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.414
- The whole area by the lake of galilee
- 00:04:55.414 --> 00:04:56.882
- Is strewn with volcanic rocks, okay?
- 00:04:56.882 --> 00:05:01.119
- And there was a lot of rocks that tumbled and all that,
- 00:05:01.119 --> 00:05:03.922
- And all of a sudden i--it's like i had a vision of that leper
- 00:05:03.922 --> 00:05:06.792
- Hiding in one of those rocks.
- 00:05:06.792 --> 00:05:08.727
- He cannot be appearing among the crowd because
- 00:05:08.727 --> 00:05:11.129
- They would stone him to death,
- 00:05:11.129 --> 00:05:12.998
- And i just imagine that he was eavesdropping.
- 00:05:12.998 --> 00:05:15.934
- He was listening to the lord saying--and when he spoke
- 00:05:15.934 --> 00:05:19.938
- From that mountaintop, and we have tested it,
- 00:05:19.938 --> 00:05:21.873
- His voice carried through the valley.
- 00:05:21.873 --> 00:05:24.276
- Amen?
- 00:05:24.276 --> 00:05:26.077
- It's a natural acoustic, all right, up on the hill,
- 00:05:26.077 --> 00:05:29.014
- And he could hear jesus saying,
- 00:05:29.014 --> 00:05:30.382
- "don't worry about your life what you shall eat,
- 00:05:30.382 --> 00:05:32.651
- What you shall eat, nor yet for your body
- 00:05:32.651 --> 00:05:34.820
- What you shall put on.
- 00:05:34.820 --> 00:05:36.188
- Isn't your life more than food?
- 00:05:36.188 --> 00:05:40.192
- Isn't your body more important than your clothing?
- 00:05:40.192 --> 00:05:42.794
- Look at the birds of the air.
- 00:05:42.794 --> 00:05:44.262
- They sow not, neither do they reap,
- 00:05:44.262 --> 00:05:46.198
- Yet your heavenly father feeds them.
- 00:05:46.198 --> 00:05:48.366
- Are you not much better than they?"
- 00:05:48.366 --> 00:05:50.235
- And the leper was listening, and he was crying.
- 00:05:50.235 --> 00:05:52.537
- Perhaps even a bird would come fleeting unto a rock near him
- 00:05:52.537 --> 00:05:57.042
- And he look at the bird.
- 00:05:57.042 --> 00:05:58.510
- God cares for the bird.
- 00:05:58.510 --> 00:05:59.845
- How much--jesus is saying, "how much better are you
- 00:05:59.845 --> 00:06:01.646
- Than the bird?"
- 00:06:01.646 --> 00:06:03.415
- And here is jesus walking towards your direction.
- 00:06:03.415 --> 00:06:05.383
- Jesus walking towards him.
- 00:06:05.383 --> 00:06:08.487
- Isn't the lord wonderful?
- 00:06:08.487 --> 00:06:10.689
- So jesus went all the way there, right, to where the guy was,
- 00:06:10.689 --> 00:06:15.293
- And the man came up to jesus.
- 00:06:15.293 --> 00:06:16.828
- And the bible says in this story, matthew 8,
- 00:06:16.828 --> 00:06:19.030
- When he finished the sermon, he went down the mountain.
- 00:06:19.030 --> 00:06:20.866
- There's no way that leper was among the multitude.
- 00:06:20.866 --> 00:06:24.202
- I never thought of that.
- 00:06:24.202 --> 00:06:25.537
- That's why we need to meditate on the word.
- 00:06:25.537 --> 00:06:27.105
- So when i was there, you know, in mount of beatitude,
- 00:06:27.105 --> 00:06:30.642
- I walked towards that direction.
- 00:06:30.642 --> 00:06:32.010
- Now, i could just imagine, i walk by myself and look
- 00:06:32.010 --> 00:06:34.513
- At all the slabs of stone and all that,
- 00:06:34.513 --> 00:06:36.548
- "one of these probably hid the leper."
- 00:06:36.548 --> 00:06:38.650
- He cannot be seen in public.
- 00:06:38.650 --> 00:06:40.118
- So jesus walked where--to where he was, and he appeared before
- 00:06:40.118 --> 00:06:43.488
- Jesus and said, "lord, if you can, please you--
- 00:06:43.488 --> 00:06:46.791
- If you can, make me clean.
- 00:06:46.791 --> 00:06:48.660
- If you are willing."
- 00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:50.428
- Not, "if you can, if you are willing."
- 00:06:50.428 --> 00:06:52.130
- He knew jesus could.
- 00:06:52.130 --> 00:06:53.465
- "if you are willing--" but he doubt
- 00:06:53.465 --> 00:06:54.966
- Whether jesus was willing to use his power for him.
- 00:06:54.966 --> 00:06:58.470
- How many know that that's the reason why jesus walked
- 00:06:58.470 --> 00:07:00.405
- Towards that direction?
- 00:07:00.405 --> 00:07:01.806
- And jesus touched him.
- 00:07:01.806 --> 00:07:03.141
- Oh, how he had--a leper has never been touched by anybody.
- 00:07:03.141 --> 00:07:07.646
- And how he has not been touched, that human touch
- 00:07:07.646 --> 00:07:10.282
- That makes a person, you know, feel like a human,
- 00:07:10.282 --> 00:07:12.918
- Jesus touched him first
- 00:07:12.918 --> 00:07:14.486
- Before he cleansed him and jesus says, "i will."
- 00:07:14.486 --> 00:07:17.589
- I feel like god is anointing people and right now
- 00:07:17.589 --> 00:07:20.725
- Healing people in different places.
- 00:07:20.725 --> 00:07:22.661
- Listen carefully.
- 00:07:22.661 --> 00:07:23.995
- The blood--whenever you talk about the blood of jesus, amen,
- 00:07:23.995 --> 00:07:28.533
- The holy spirit responds.
- 00:07:28.533 --> 00:07:29.868
- I'm gonna tell you why, okay?
- 00:07:29.868 --> 00:07:32.404
- One bird is killed, the blood of the trespass offering
- 00:07:32.404 --> 00:07:37.809
- Is put on the poor leper on his right thumb.
- 00:07:37.809 --> 00:07:42.147
- Now, say, "trespass offering."
- 00:07:42.147 --> 00:07:44.115
- Remember trespass offering means that you get much more
- 00:07:44.115 --> 00:07:48.553
- Than what you have lost.
- 00:07:48.553 --> 00:07:50.722
- Are you listening?
- 00:07:50.722 --> 00:07:52.290
- Trespass offering means if you have been cheated, someone sins
- 00:07:52.290 --> 00:07:55.360
- Against you or whatever, amen, you will get much more than
- 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.697
- Before you lost that item or object or animal
- 00:07:58.697 --> 00:08:01.800
- Or whatever, all right?
- 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.134
- This is in the trespass offering.
- 00:08:03.134 --> 00:08:04.769
- So it's a picture of where sin increase, grace super abounds.
- 00:08:04.769 --> 00:08:08.206
- In the very area of your weakness
- 00:08:08.206 --> 00:08:09.674
- God's grace will triumph.
- 00:08:09.674 --> 00:08:11.543
- So let's say your problem is pornography.
- 00:08:11.543 --> 00:08:13.511
- Amen?
- 00:08:13.511 --> 00:08:14.846
- Well, that the very area that god's grace will triumph.
- 00:08:14.846 --> 00:08:17.248
- If you allow it to, it will triumph in that area.
- 00:08:17.248 --> 00:08:20.051
- Let's say your area is bad-temperedness.
- 00:08:20.051 --> 00:08:22.087
- Well, in the very area of your bad-temperedness,
- 00:08:22.087 --> 00:08:24.756
- People will look at you and say, "what a tender-hearted man.
- 00:08:24.756 --> 00:08:28.059
- What a loving man."
- 00:08:28.059 --> 00:08:29.427
- Amen. amen.
- 00:08:29.427 --> 00:08:30.762
- I'm telling you, church, this is what the gospel--
- 00:08:30.762 --> 00:08:33.698
- The power of the gospel is all about.
- 00:08:33.698 --> 00:08:35.700
- Praise the lord. can i have a good amen?
- 00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:37.502
- So they put the blood of the trespass offering
- 00:08:37.502 --> 00:08:39.571
- On the right thumb of the leper, okay?
- 00:08:39.571 --> 00:08:43.174
- Say, "right thumb."
- 00:08:43.174 --> 00:08:44.676
- This is for the things that you do,
- 00:08:44.676 --> 00:08:46.011
- The things that you touch.
- 00:08:46.011 --> 00:08:47.379
- And then the blood of the trespass offering
- 00:08:47.379 --> 00:08:49.514
- Is put on the right lobe of the ear
- 00:08:49.514 --> 00:08:53.351
- And also on the right toe.
- 00:08:53.351 --> 00:08:55.487
- Okay, that's the thing.
- 00:08:55.487 --> 00:08:56.855
- Right lobe of the ear, which means
- 00:08:56.855 --> 00:08:59.257
- The things you hear will be from now on anointed
- 00:08:59.257 --> 00:09:01.860
- And cleansed, amen, the things that you do
- 00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:04.562
- Will be touched and cleansed.
- 00:09:04.562 --> 00:09:05.930
- So whatever you do prospers.
- 00:09:05.930 --> 00:09:08.166
- Like joseph, whatever he touched,
- 00:09:08.166 --> 00:09:10.035
- The lord made it to prosper.
- 00:09:10.035 --> 00:09:11.569
- And then the right toe, wherever you walk you're a blessing.
- 00:09:11.569 --> 00:09:14.739
- Wherever you walk, amen, it's gonna be blessed
- 00:09:14.739 --> 00:09:17.676
- For you as well.
- 00:09:17.676 --> 00:09:19.010
- Amen. amen?
- 00:09:19.010 --> 00:09:20.345
- God will put you at the right place the right time.
- 00:09:20.345 --> 00:09:21.813
- The blood will take care of you so that the blood
- 00:09:21.813 --> 00:09:23.314
- Will protect you from all evil.
- 00:09:23.314 --> 00:09:24.649
- Praise god.
- 00:09:24.649 --> 00:09:25.984
- So right ear, right thumb, right toe for the feet.
- 00:09:25.984 --> 00:09:30.822
- Now, watch this.
- 00:09:30.822 --> 00:09:32.490
- Before the chapter ends, it says that now put the oil--
- 00:09:32.490 --> 00:09:35.593
- The priest will put the oil on the right lobe
- 00:09:35.593 --> 00:09:37.996
- Where the blood is.
- 00:09:37.996 --> 00:09:39.330
- So the--where the blood is, the oil comes on the blood.
- 00:09:39.330 --> 00:09:41.866
- And then the right thumb, where the blood
- 00:09:41.866 --> 00:09:43.802
- Of the trespass offering was, the oil comes on the blood.
- 00:09:43.802 --> 00:09:47.005
- Amen?
- 00:09:47.005 --> 00:09:48.339
- And then the right toe, the oil comes on the blood.
- 00:09:48.339 --> 00:09:52.210
- What's the oil a representation of?
- 00:09:52.210 --> 00:09:53.611
- The holy spirit, the anointing of god.
- 00:09:53.611 --> 00:09:56.514
- I'm telling you, church, the very--wherever
- 00:09:56.514 --> 00:09:59.184
- The blood touches, the holy spirit answers.
- 00:09:59.184 --> 00:10:02.053
- Amen.
- 00:10:02.053 --> 00:10:03.388
- When the blood is honored, the holy spirit responds, amen.
- 00:10:03.388 --> 00:10:06.491
- The holy spirit is--you don't have to be
- 00:10:06.491 --> 00:10:07.892
- Conscious all the time.
- 00:10:07.892 --> 00:10:09.227
- "the holy spirit is in me. the holy spirit is in me."
- 00:10:09.227 --> 00:10:10.829
- You just have the conscious that you are being cleansed
- 00:10:10.829 --> 00:10:12.230
- By the blood of jesus.
- 00:10:12.230 --> 00:10:13.565
- 1 john 1:7 says that if we walk in the light as he is
- 00:10:13.565 --> 00:10:16.468
- In the light--it's not a matter of how you walk,
- 00:10:16.468 --> 00:10:18.236
- It's a matter of where you walk.
- 00:10:18.236 --> 00:10:19.571
- Once you are saved, you are in the light.
- 00:10:19.571 --> 00:10:20.972
- You are walking in the light.
- 00:10:20.972 --> 00:10:22.307
- And the bible says when you are in the light doesn't mean
- 00:10:22.307 --> 00:10:23.942
- You are perfectly free from sin, but the blood of jesus christ,
- 00:10:23.942 --> 00:10:27.178
- Present tense, continuously cleanses you from every sin.
- 00:10:27.178 --> 00:10:31.015
- Every item, my sin, you are cleansed from it
- 00:10:31.015 --> 00:10:34.652
- And you must live in that consciousness.
- 00:10:34.652 --> 00:10:38.022
- The bible says you are righteous by the blood of jesus.
- 00:10:38.022 --> 00:10:40.825
- So what are you more conscious of today, your sins,
- 00:10:40.825 --> 00:10:43.428
- Your failures thus far, or the blood
- 00:10:43.428 --> 00:10:45.296
- That ever cleanses you?
- 00:10:45.296 --> 00:10:46.831
- Right now you are in a wash cycle.
- 00:10:46.831 --> 00:10:49.033
- The blood keeps you clean.
- 00:10:49.033 --> 00:10:51.569
- The monkey is off your back to try to be forgiven,
- 00:10:51.569 --> 00:10:54.172
- To try to be kept clean.
- 00:10:54.172 --> 00:10:55.540
- It's not your responsibility anymore.
- 00:10:55.540 --> 00:10:57.442
- Your part is to believe that the blood cleanses you
- 00:10:57.442 --> 00:11:00.178
- All the time,
- 00:11:00.178 --> 00:11:01.513
- And the spirit answers through the blood.
- 00:11:01.513 --> 00:11:02.881
- When you are conscious of that, man,
- 00:11:02.881 --> 00:11:04.516
- You are anointed because the spirit comes on you.
- 00:11:04.516 --> 00:11:07.252
- Whenever you're conscious of the blood,
- 00:11:07.252 --> 00:11:08.853
- The spirit comes on you.
- 00:11:08.853 --> 00:11:10.255
- Where the blood is, the spirit comes.
- 00:11:10.255 --> 00:11:14.159
- Now, this leper has become a gainer.
- 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.795
- He has something now that even an average jew
- 00:11:16.795 --> 00:11:19.697
- In ancient israel at that time don't have
- 00:11:19.697 --> 00:11:22.367
- Because only kings are anointed with the oil.
- 00:11:22.367 --> 00:11:25.603
- Only priests are anointed.
- 00:11:25.603 --> 00:11:27.405
- Only three groups, all right?
- 00:11:27.405 --> 00:11:29.440
- Prophet, priest, and king are anointed.
- 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:34.646
- But now, this lowly, this poor leper
- 00:11:34.646 --> 00:11:41.519
- Who has been cleansed gets the oil.
- 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:47.058
- He joins the category of the kings, the prophets,
- 00:11:47.058 --> 00:11:49.360
- And the priests.
- 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.362
- What an honor.
- 00:11:51.362 --> 00:11:53.598
- And that tells us that whatever you have lost by sin,
- 00:11:53.598 --> 00:11:59.370
- God's grace will super abound.
- 00:11:59.370 --> 00:12:01.272
- You know, i get criticized for preaching this, amen,
- 00:12:01.272 --> 00:12:03.741
- But it's the bible.
- 00:12:03.741 --> 00:12:05.143
- It's the bible, people.
- 00:12:05.143 --> 00:12:06.711
- Instead of the despairing that you have sinned--
- 00:12:06.711 --> 00:12:08.980
- Okay, you have sinned.
- 00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:10.315
- This is not to encourage you to sin, all right?
- 00:12:10.315 --> 00:12:12.083
- In fact, paul preached like this so strong
- 00:12:12.083 --> 00:12:14.052
- That people say, "paul is saying let us sin more
- 00:12:14.052 --> 00:12:16.754
- That grace may abound."
- 00:12:16.754 --> 00:12:18.089
- But if you look at the verses
- 00:12:18.089 --> 00:12:19.457
- Before paul brought up the question,
- 00:12:19.457 --> 00:12:21.059
- You'll find it says where sin increase, pleonazo in greek--
- 00:12:21.059 --> 00:12:24.863
- Increase means you can count it, all right?
- 00:12:24.863 --> 00:12:27.599
- Grace, huperperisseuo.
- 00:12:27.599 --> 00:12:29.567
- It's not pleonazo, all right?
- 00:12:29.567 --> 00:12:31.236
- It does not say--in your king james you use
- 00:12:31.236 --> 00:12:34.005
- Both words the same, but actually it says
- 00:12:34.005 --> 00:12:35.974
- Where sin abounds grace much more abounds.
- 00:12:35.974 --> 00:12:38.009
- But in the greek, where sin increase grace super abounds,
- 00:12:38.009 --> 00:12:42.881
- Which means you cannot measure it.
- 00:12:42.881 --> 00:12:44.215
- The word huper, hyper, perisseuo, beyond its banks
- 00:12:44.215 --> 00:12:48.286
- And much more on top of that.
- 00:12:48.286 --> 00:12:50.688
- So instead of despairing that you have sinned,
- 00:12:50.688 --> 00:12:52.891
- Realize this.
- 00:12:52.891 --> 00:12:54.225
- Now, because of this sin, because the devil tempted you
- 00:12:54.225 --> 00:12:56.828
- Or whatever it is and because of this sin,
- 00:12:56.828 --> 00:12:59.964
- Amen, now there's more abundant grace,
- 00:12:59.964 --> 00:13:04.736
- Super abounding grace in this very area.
- 00:13:04.736 --> 00:13:07.505
- So it wasn't god's will that david had bathsheba
- 00:13:07.505 --> 00:13:11.809
- For his wife, but of all the wives
- 00:13:11.809 --> 00:13:16.581
- That david had, it was through bathsheba--of all the sons
- 00:13:16.581 --> 00:13:21.252
- That he had, it was the son through
- 00:13:21.252 --> 00:13:23.187
- Bathsheba that god raised as king to succeed david.
- 00:13:23.187 --> 00:13:28.159
- Now, that's not to say, all right, commit adultery.
- 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:32.030
- We're not saying let us sin more that grace may abound,
- 00:13:32.030 --> 00:13:34.032
- But where there is sin already you're not in despair
- 00:13:34.032 --> 00:13:36.367
- Because of the blood, amen.
- 00:13:36.367 --> 00:13:38.469
- In the very area if you respond to god,
- 00:13:38.469 --> 00:13:40.605
- There'll be much more grace.
- 00:13:40.605 --> 00:13:43.241
- Now, your problem is that you fell into this sin,
- 00:13:43.241 --> 00:13:45.043
- That you're saying--the devil will come to you and say,
- 00:13:45.043 --> 00:13:46.544
- "now what can you expect?
- 00:13:46.544 --> 00:13:47.879
- You can expect bad health, all right?
- 00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.815
- And you know what's gonna happen?
- 00:13:50.815 --> 00:13:52.216
- Your kids will be in trouble because of your sin just now
- 00:13:52.216 --> 00:13:54.686
- And because of this and that."
- 00:13:54.686 --> 00:13:56.120
- There's a fearful expectation of evil as mentioned
- 00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.291
- In hebrews 10.
- 00:14:00.291 --> 00:14:01.626
- There is this fearful expectation of judgment,
- 00:14:01.626 --> 00:14:05.029
- And that's what the devil wants to bring.
- 00:14:05.029 --> 00:14:06.431
- But this preaching of grace where sin increase
- 00:14:06.431 --> 00:14:08.566
- Grace super abounds will set you free from that.
- 00:14:08.566 --> 00:14:11.936
- It will tell you, "because of this sin, all right,
- 00:14:11.936 --> 00:14:14.439
- My children will be doubly blessed, amen.
- 00:14:14.439 --> 00:14:17.475
- My future is doubly bright." amen.
- 00:14:17.475 --> 00:14:22.447
- In the entire old testament we have many promises of god,
- 00:14:22.447 --> 00:14:26.084
- But there is the promise.
- 00:14:26.084 --> 00:14:28.019
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:14:28.019 --> 00:14:29.354
- Say it: "the promise."
- 00:14:29.354 --> 00:14:31.289
- So what is the promise?
- 00:14:31.289 --> 00:14:34.559
- It's one definite promise that is alluded to,
- 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:41.099
- That is an emphasis that all the prophets talk about
- 00:14:41.099 --> 00:14:46.170
- In the old testament.
- 00:14:46.170 --> 00:14:47.972
- Amen? or at least they allude to it.
- 00:14:47.972 --> 00:14:50.942
- But what is the promise? amen?
- 00:14:50.942 --> 00:14:53.978
- It's the promise that you'll be endued with power
- 00:14:53.978 --> 00:14:56.714
- From on high.
- 00:14:56.714 --> 00:14:58.049
- What is this enduement with power from on high?
- 00:14:58.049 --> 00:15:00.218
- All right, let's look at acts.
- 00:15:00.218 --> 00:15:02.754
- "being assembled together with them--"
- 00:15:02.754 --> 00:15:04.255
- Now, jesus is about to ascend to heaven.
- 00:15:04.255 --> 00:15:07.158
- Jesus commanded them not to depart from jerusalem,
- 00:15:07.158 --> 00:15:09.794
- But to wait for the promise of the father.
- 00:15:09.794 --> 00:15:12.296
- Say, "the promise."
- 00:15:12.296 --> 00:15:14.298
- What is the promise of the father?
- 00:15:14.298 --> 00:15:16.701
- Definite article, one and only promise.
- 00:15:16.701 --> 00:15:18.202
- The promise of the father.
- 00:15:18.202 --> 00:15:19.670
- It's the promise of the father
- 00:15:19.670 --> 00:15:21.005
- That brings all the other promises
- 00:15:21.005 --> 00:15:22.774
- Into fulfillment in your life.
- 00:15:22.774 --> 00:15:24.976
- Amen?
- 00:15:24.976 --> 00:15:26.310
- "the--wait for the promise of the father, which,"
- 00:15:26.310 --> 00:15:28.046
- Jesus said, "you have heard from me."
- 00:15:28.046 --> 00:15:30.281
- Amen?
- 00:15:30.281 --> 00:15:31.616
- "for john truly baptized with water,
- 00:15:31.616 --> 00:15:32.950
- But you shall be baptized
- 00:15:32.950 --> 00:15:34.886
- With the holy spirit not many days from now," amen?
- 00:15:34.886 --> 00:15:38.890
- And so 10 more days after 40 days is the day of pentecost.
- 00:15:38.890 --> 00:15:42.727
- When the day of pentecost was fully come,
- 00:15:42.727 --> 00:15:44.262
- God sent the holy spirit. amen?
- 00:15:44.262 --> 00:15:47.365
- And he says like this, very--give them acts 2,
- 00:15:47.365 --> 00:15:51.102
- The first part.
- 00:15:51.102 --> 00:15:52.437
- "when the day of pentecost had fully come--
- 00:15:52.437 --> 00:15:54.005
- There came a sound--from heaven like a rushing mighty wind--"
- 00:15:54.005 --> 00:15:56.741
- Why does it say when the day of pentecost
- 00:15:56.741 --> 00:15:58.142
- Was fully come?
- 00:15:58.142 --> 00:15:59.477
- Because the first pentecost in the old testament
- 00:15:59.477 --> 00:16:01.479
- Was the giving of the law.
- 00:16:01.479 --> 00:16:03.648
- God gave the law, okay?
- 00:16:03.648 --> 00:16:06.150
- That was the first pentecost and the result
- 00:16:06.150 --> 00:16:08.786
- Was 3,000 people died at the foot of the mountain.
- 00:16:08.786 --> 00:16:14.225
- But when the day of pentecost and a new testament,
- 00:16:14.225 --> 00:16:16.661
- A new covenant had come because jesus has died,
- 00:16:16.661 --> 00:16:19.764
- He has paid for our sins,
- 00:16:19.764 --> 00:16:21.132
- The blood has been shed, now the spirit answers
- 00:16:21.132 --> 00:16:23.301
- Through the blood.
- 00:16:23.301 --> 00:16:24.635
- Are you listening, people?
- 00:16:24.635 --> 00:16:25.970
- When the day of pentecost had fully come, all right,
- 00:16:25.970 --> 00:16:27.972
- The holy spirit came.
- 00:16:27.972 --> 00:16:29.607
- So obviously the day of pentecost
- 00:16:29.607 --> 00:16:31.943
- For the jew even today is only on this side here.
- 00:16:31.943 --> 00:16:34.812
- It's very sad because the law demands but never imparts.
- 00:16:34.812 --> 00:16:39.050
- The law is holy, but it cannot impart holiness.
- 00:16:39.050 --> 00:16:41.519
- The law is righteous, but it cannot give you
- 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.187
- The gift of righteousness.
- 00:16:43.187 --> 00:16:44.522
- The law--but what the law demands, the spirit supplies,
- 00:16:44.522 --> 00:16:47.825
- The spirit imparts, the spirit gives.
- 00:16:47.825 --> 00:16:49.861
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:16:49.861 --> 00:16:51.195
- All right, the law demands righteousness,
- 00:16:51.195 --> 00:16:52.730
- The spirit of god imparts righteousness to you.
- 00:16:52.730 --> 00:16:55.199
- Amen?
- 00:16:55.199 --> 00:16:56.534
- Gives you the gift of righteousness.
- 00:16:56.534 --> 00:16:57.869
- So whatever we need today the holy spirit imparts to us.
- 00:16:57.869 --> 00:16:59.737
- He's not there to demand.
- 00:16:59.737 --> 00:17:01.072
- Whenever you think of the holy spirit as demanding,
- 00:17:01.072 --> 00:17:02.406
- You have put the holy spirit in the place where
- 00:17:02.406 --> 00:17:04.075
- He does not belong.
- 00:17:04.075 --> 00:17:05.510
- He's there to impart. he's there to help.
- 00:17:05.510 --> 00:17:07.812
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:17:07.812 --> 00:17:09.480
- All right, so on the day of pentecost--
- 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:11.149
- The first pentecost, the law was given, 3,000 died.
- 00:17:11.149 --> 00:17:14.051
- The new covenant pentecost, this day
- 00:17:14.051 --> 00:17:16.654
- When the day of pentecost had fully come,
- 00:17:16.654 --> 00:17:18.589
- The spirit was given and 3,000 people
- 00:17:18.589 --> 00:17:21.325
- Were saved in that day.
- 00:17:21.325 --> 00:17:23.127
- And peter in that sermon--before 3,000 got saved, he preached
- 00:17:23.127 --> 00:17:27.298
- That sermon that got the 3,000 people saved.
- 00:17:27.298 --> 00:17:29.734
- Peter actually said when he stood up, all right,
- 00:17:29.734 --> 00:17:32.236
- Give them acts 2, drop down, "this jesus god has raised up,
- 00:17:32.236 --> 00:17:35.806
- Of which we are all witnesses.
- 00:17:35.806 --> 00:17:37.475
- Therefore being exalted to the right hand of god--"
- 00:17:37.475 --> 00:17:40.144
- He's telling them what happened to jesus after he rose
- 00:17:40.144 --> 00:17:41.979
- From the dead.
- 00:17:41.979 --> 00:17:43.314
- He was just--he just saw jesus go up to heaven 10 days ago
- 00:17:43.314 --> 00:17:45.983
- And now he tells them, "being exalted
- 00:17:45.983 --> 00:17:48.052
- To the right hand of god--" hallelujah.
- 00:17:48.052 --> 00:17:50.354
- The one who was crowned with thorns is now crowned
- 00:17:50.354 --> 00:17:52.623
- With glory and honor.
- 00:17:52.623 --> 00:17:54.192
- Hallelujah.
- 00:17:54.192 --> 00:17:55.560
- Every crown--crown him with many crowns.
- 00:17:55.560 --> 00:17:57.528
- Hallelujah. amen.
- 00:17:57.528 --> 00:17:59.397
- He's worthy of it.
- 00:17:59.397 --> 00:18:00.731
- "and having received from the father the promise
- 00:18:00.731 --> 00:18:02.600
- Of the holy spirit,
- 00:18:02.600 --> 00:18:03.935
- He poured out this which you now see and hear."
- 00:18:03.935 --> 00:18:06.270
- So it's like jesus in heaven saying,
- 00:18:06.270 --> 00:18:07.838
- "hey, now you have the gift of the ho--i paid for it.
- 00:18:07.838 --> 00:18:11.742
- Now you have it."
- 00:18:11.742 --> 00:18:13.077
- And it's a dream of all the jewish people
- 00:18:13.077 --> 00:18:16.147
- In the old testament to have this promise,
- 00:18:16.147 --> 00:18:18.649
- But they cannot have it in the old covenant
- 00:18:18.649 --> 00:18:20.818
- Because christ has not yet died, amen?
- 00:18:20.818 --> 00:18:23.287
- But it's like peter is saying here he has received
- 00:18:23.287 --> 00:18:26.290
- From the father this gi-- the promise of the holy spirit.
- 00:18:26.290 --> 00:18:29.126
- Now he is pouring it out, which you now see and hear.
- 00:18:29.126 --> 00:18:32.196
- They are praying in tongues, the bible says.
- 00:18:32.196 --> 00:18:34.165
- And when the holy spirit filled them,
- 00:18:34.165 --> 00:18:35.499
- They were all speaking in tongues
- 00:18:35.499 --> 00:18:36.901
- And it's something that people can see and hear, amen.
- 00:18:36.901 --> 00:18:40.271
- This idea that you are saved and then you are baptized
- 00:18:40.271 --> 00:18:42.974
- In the holy spirit immediately is not scriptural.
- 00:18:42.974 --> 00:18:47.044
- Now, you have the holy spirit once you are saved.
- 00:18:47.044 --> 00:18:49.680
- Don't doubt that.
- 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.015
- You have the holy spirit.
- 00:18:51.015 --> 00:18:52.350
- But it's one thing to have the holy spirit, it's another thing
- 00:18:52.350 --> 00:18:54.285
- For the holy spirit to have you.
- 00:18:54.285 --> 00:18:55.820
- I can drink water.
- 00:18:55.820 --> 00:18:57.154
- Water is now inside me.
- 00:18:57.154 --> 00:18:58.556
- But if i jump into--i dive into the swimming pool,
- 00:18:58.556 --> 00:19:01.659
- I'm now in the water.
- 00:19:01.659 --> 00:19:03.261
- Baptism of the holy spirit is you diving
- 00:19:03.261 --> 00:19:05.763
- Into the pool, amen.
- 00:19:05.763 --> 00:19:07.765
- Once you are saved, you have the water inside you but you--
- 00:19:07.765 --> 00:19:10.635
- You know, baptism of the holy spirit
- 00:19:10.635 --> 00:19:12.203
- Means immersed in the holy spirit.
- 00:19:12.203 --> 00:19:13.604
- Hallelujah?
- 00:19:13.604 --> 00:19:15.172
- So i wanna close with this.
- 00:19:15.172 --> 00:19:17.608
- We touched on this a little bit, but lemme just tell this.
- 00:19:17.608 --> 00:19:20.444
- The life of the holy spirit is a wonderful life.
- 00:19:20.444 --> 00:19:24.515
- Many a times, you know, if you'll pray in the spirit,
- 00:19:24.515 --> 00:19:28.119
- You pray in tongues, amen, you will sensitize your spirit
- 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:32.757
- To the holy spirit and you will live
- 00:19:32.757 --> 00:19:35.326
- By perceiving instead of reasoning.
- 00:19:35.326 --> 00:19:38.496
- Why people are defeated is because they are reas--
- 00:19:38.496 --> 00:19:40.531
- They reason a lot instead of perceiving.
- 00:19:40.531 --> 00:19:43.501
- God told adam and--adam before eve came, god told adam,
- 00:19:43.501 --> 00:19:47.004
- "of all the trees in the garden you may freely eat."
- 00:19:47.004 --> 00:19:51.208
- Akol to kel in hebrew.
- 00:19:51.208 --> 00:19:53.911
- The word akol akol appears twice.
- 00:19:53.911 --> 00:19:55.546
- Eat, eat.
- 00:19:55.546 --> 00:19:56.881
- That means freely eat.
- 00:19:56.881 --> 00:19:58.516
- Like, even, you know, in english, right,
- 00:19:58.516 --> 00:20:01.052
- We say eat, eat, eat.
- 00:20:01.052 --> 00:20:04.322
- We are very close to the hebrew.
- 00:20:04.322 --> 00:20:05.956
- So literally in the hebrew, freely eat.
- 00:20:05.956 --> 00:20:09.360
- God says freely eat.
- 00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:10.695
- So look at the generosity of god.
- 00:20:10.695 --> 00:20:12.263
- People say, "well, god forbade them the tree."
- 00:20:12.263 --> 00:20:14.231
- Why you--how come you focus on that one?
- 00:20:14.231 --> 00:20:15.766
- You know how many trees there are that god says
- 00:20:15.766 --> 00:20:17.168
- You can freely eat?
- 00:20:17.168 --> 00:20:18.736
- "but to show you honor me and my lordship, to show
- 00:20:18.736 --> 00:20:22.606
- That you acknowledge me as god--"
- 00:20:22.606 --> 00:20:24.108
- That's what the tithe is all about, all right?
- 00:20:24.108 --> 00:20:26.444
- You don't have to tithe, you get to, all right?
- 00:20:26.444 --> 00:20:30.414
- It's for people with revelation.
- 00:20:30.414 --> 00:20:31.816
- So acknowledge don't eat from this tree,
- 00:20:31.816 --> 00:20:35.953
- But it's a tree that god gave,
- 00:20:35.953 --> 00:20:37.555
- God planted, but it's meant to--for men to--
- 00:20:37.555 --> 00:20:41.258
- Always not eat from it
- 00:20:41.258 --> 00:20:42.593
- To show god's ownership, god's--man is a steward.
- 00:20:42.593 --> 00:20:45.496
- Amen? are you listening?
- 00:20:45.496 --> 00:20:47.798
- But if we go deeper, what's the nature of the tree?
- 00:20:47.798 --> 00:20:49.867
- What's the name of the tree called?
- 00:20:49.867 --> 00:20:51.469
- Knowledge of good and evil.
- 00:20:51.469 --> 00:20:54.138
- So what is wrong with the knowledge of good?
- 00:20:54.138 --> 00:20:57.408
- It's as deadly as the knowledge of evil.
- 00:20:57.408 --> 00:21:00.411
- "the day that you eat of it," god told adam--
- 00:21:00.411 --> 00:21:03.481
- Dying in the hebrew--dying, you die slowly.
- 00:21:03.481 --> 00:21:07.084
- You die spiritually and you die slowly.
- 00:21:07.084 --> 00:21:09.553
- Dying you shall die physically one day.
- 00:21:09.553 --> 00:21:12.757
- Dying you shall die in the hebrew.
- 00:21:12.757 --> 00:21:14.525
- In our english, "thou shall surely die."
- 00:21:14.525 --> 00:21:16.360
- So today man is still eating
- 00:21:16.360 --> 00:21:19.830
- From the tree of knowledge and good.
- 00:21:19.830 --> 00:21:21.198
- They ask themself, "is this good and--or evil?"
- 00:21:21.198 --> 00:21:23.267
- That's not the question.
- 00:21:23.267 --> 00:21:24.602
- Is this what the spirit is saying to do?
- 00:21:24.602 --> 00:21:28.672
- Are you listening?
- 00:21:28.672 --> 00:21:30.341
- Mark 2 real quick. all right.
- 00:21:30.341 --> 00:21:33.210
- "when jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic,
- 00:21:33.210 --> 00:21:35.079
- 'son, your sins are forgiven you.'"
- 00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:37.014
- Drop down.
- 00:21:37.014 --> 00:21:38.349
- "and some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning
- 00:21:38.349 --> 00:21:40.451
- In their hearts--" where were they reasoning?
- 00:21:40.451 --> 00:21:42.787
- Reasoning.
- 00:21:42.787 --> 00:21:44.121
- The greek is dialogismos.
- 00:21:44.121 --> 00:21:46.857
- Dialogue, your english word from--logic, dialogismos,
- 00:21:46.857 --> 00:21:53.297
- All right, is the greek word here.
- 00:21:53.297 --> 00:21:55.199
- They are reasoning, reasoning, reasoning.
- 00:21:55.199 --> 00:21:57.535
- When you live by reasoning, you cannot live
- 00:21:57.535 --> 00:22:00.471
- The abundant life.
- 00:22:00.471 --> 00:22:01.972
- We live by the spirit.
- 00:22:01.972 --> 00:22:03.307
- The spirit is faster than the mind.
- 00:22:03.307 --> 00:22:05.876
- You know things before your mind
- 00:22:05.876 --> 00:22:07.311
- Can logic it out.
- 00:22:07.311 --> 00:22:08.646
- In fact, it takes mind sometimes even days before we come
- 00:22:08.646 --> 00:22:12.183
- To the conclusion, but the spirit
- 00:22:12.183 --> 00:22:13.551
- Can get it real fast.
- 00:22:13.551 --> 00:22:15.386
- I'm coming to something very exciting here
- 00:22:15.386 --> 00:22:16.854
- And it's almost time, all right?
- 00:22:16.854 --> 00:22:18.722
- So i think we gotta have a conference.
- 00:22:18.722 --> 00:22:22.092
- Amen? a whole day conference.
- 00:22:22.092 --> 00:22:24.628
- "why does this man--" the pharisees, the scribes says,
- 00:22:24.628 --> 00:22:27.431
- "why does this man speak blasphemous like this?
- 00:22:27.431 --> 00:22:29.834
- Who can forgive sins but god alone?"
- 00:22:29.834 --> 00:22:32.470
- All right, logismos, logic out, okay?
- 00:22:32.470 --> 00:22:35.272
- And they are right.
- 00:22:35.272 --> 00:22:36.674
- Only god can forgive sins, and the man is god.
- 00:22:36.674 --> 00:22:41.512
- "but immediately, when jesus perceived in his spirit
- 00:22:41.512 --> 00:22:44.315
- That they reasoned thus within themselves,
- 00:22:44.315 --> 00:22:48.385
- He said to them,
- 00:22:48.385 --> 00:22:49.720
- 'why do you reason about these things in your heart?'"
- 00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:52.990
- Jesus perceived in his spirit that they reason.
- 00:22:52.990 --> 00:22:56.060
- Jesus said to them, "why do you reason about these things
