Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Your Lowest Point Is Your Greatest Victory | July 29, 2025
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.853
- Joseph prince: devil will come to you and say,
- 00:00:12.688 --> 00:00:14.022
- "now, what can you expect?
- 00:00:14.022 --> 00:00:15.357
- You can expect bad health," all right?
- 00:00:15.357 --> 00:00:17.426
- And you know what's going to happen?
- 00:00:17.426 --> 00:00:19.061
- Your kids will be in trouble because of your sin just now,
- 00:00:19.061 --> 00:00:21.930
- And because of this and that.
- 00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:23.332
- There's a fearful expectation of evil as mentioned in hebrews 10.
- 00:00:23.332 --> 00:00:27.936
- There is this fearful expectation of judgment,
- 00:00:27.936 --> 00:00:32.107
- And that's what the devil wants to bring.
- 00:00:32.107 --> 00:00:33.442
- But this preaching of grace--where sin increases,
- 00:00:33.442 --> 00:00:35.644
- Grace superabounds--will set you free from that.
- 00:00:35.644 --> 00:00:38.947
- It will tell you because of this sin, all right,
- 00:00:38.947 --> 00:00:41.550
- My children will be doubly blessed, amen.
- 00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:44.553
- My future is doubly bright.
- 00:00:44.553 --> 00:00:46.855
- The lord demands righteousness, the spirit of god imparts
- 00:00:46.855 --> 00:00:49.458
- Righteousness to you, amen; gives you the gift
- 00:00:49.458 --> 00:00:52.027
- Of righteousness.
- 00:00:52.027 --> 00:00:53.428
- So whatever we need today, the holy spirit imparts to us.
- 00:00:53.428 --> 00:00:55.264
- This is what the gospel--
- 00:00:55.264 --> 00:00:57.432
- The power of the gospel is all about.
- 00:00:57.432 --> 00:00:59.268
- Praise the lord, can i have a good amen?
- 00:00:59.268 --> 00:01:01.904
- Male announcer: tired of overthinking
- 00:01:01.970 --> 00:01:03.472
- And second guessing yourself?
- 00:01:03.472 --> 00:01:05.107
- Coming up, hear joseph prince unpack powerful truths about
- 00:01:05.107 --> 00:01:08.243

- And now, here is pastor joseph prince with today's program.
- 00:02:10.739 --> 00:02:14.309
- Joseph prince: you know, the bible tells us that--
- 00:02:14.376 --> 00:02:17.446
- Let's put up leviticus 14, yes, verse 1 to 4.
- 00:02:17.446 --> 00:02:21.717
- "the lord spoke to moses, saying,
- 00:02:21.717 --> 00:02:23.885
- 'this shall be the law of the leper
- 00:02:23.885 --> 00:02:25.787
- For the day of his cleansing.'"
- 00:02:25.787 --> 00:02:27.122
- Now stop, when you read things like this and god devotes
- 00:02:27.122 --> 00:02:29.992
- An entire chapter--in fact, more than one chapter on leprosy
- 00:02:29.992 --> 00:02:33.462
- In the book of leviticus,
- 00:02:33.462 --> 00:02:36.565
- You know that he's not just referring to leprosy
- 00:02:36.565 --> 00:02:39.034
- Because many people don't suffer leprosy today.
- 00:02:39.034 --> 00:02:41.903
- There are still people suffering leprosy.
- 00:02:41.903 --> 00:02:43.939
- And everything in the old testament is a type,
- 00:02:43.939 --> 00:02:45.774
- It's a shadow of a substance.
- 00:02:45.774 --> 00:02:47.576
- So what is leprosy?
- 00:02:47.576 --> 00:02:49.444
- Leprosy is something that, in those days,
- 00:02:49.444 --> 00:02:51.947
- If they contract leprosy, right,
- 00:02:51.947 --> 00:02:53.982
- They are cut off from their families, amen?
- 00:02:53.982 --> 00:02:56.451
- They live isolated.
- 00:02:56.451 --> 00:02:58.420
- I mean, it's a very--it's almost like a life sentence, amen,
- 00:02:58.420 --> 00:03:03.158
- Where most of the cases, they don't get cleansed.
- 00:03:03.158 --> 00:03:07.229
- Many of them, they literally sort of degenerate
- 00:03:07.229 --> 00:03:10.132
- And their body parts rot away, but it's more than
- 00:03:10.132 --> 00:03:14.903
- Just the physical thing the lord is talking about.
- 00:03:14.903 --> 00:03:16.772
- It's our sin.
- 00:03:16.772 --> 00:03:19.007
- Growth in christ is not getting stronger and stronger, amen,
- 00:03:19.007 --> 00:03:24.513
- In every way you feel that you are stronger,
- 00:03:24.513 --> 00:03:27.182
- All right; you can overcome this, overcome that?
- 00:03:27.182 --> 00:03:28.984
- Actually, you feel weaker and weaker in and of yourself,
- 00:03:28.984 --> 00:03:33.455
- But then there's a greater and greater dependence on christ.
- 00:03:33.455 --> 00:03:37.292
- That, my friend, is spiritual growth.
- 00:03:37.292 --> 00:03:39.294
- So notice, it says, "'this shall be the law of the leper
- 00:03:39.294 --> 00:03:41.263
- For the day of his cleansing:
- 00:03:41.263 --> 00:03:42.631
- He shall be brought to the priest."
- 00:03:42.631 --> 00:03:44.232
- Notice the passive voice: "he shall be brought."
- 00:03:44.232 --> 00:03:47.803
- How many know that if we were not
- 00:03:47.803 --> 00:03:49.504
- Brought by the holy spirit to jesus, we'll never be saved?
- 00:03:49.504 --> 00:03:53.442
- When i was in israel a number of years ago, i took some time out
- 00:03:53.442 --> 00:03:58.747
- From my group--which are all my pastors, all right--
- 00:03:58.747 --> 00:04:01.717
- And the pastors still remember this,
- 00:04:01.717 --> 00:04:03.552
- I took some time to walk the other side.
- 00:04:03.552 --> 00:04:05.420
- So i went to the other side of the summit.
- 00:04:05.420 --> 00:04:07.189
- Many of you have been there, the mount of beatitudes,
- 00:04:07.189 --> 00:04:08.990
- It's still so beautiful.
- 00:04:08.990 --> 00:04:10.726
- And the place where jesus was preaching, amen,
- 00:04:10.726 --> 00:04:13.495
- You can tell where most likely he is.
- 00:04:13.495 --> 00:04:15.831
- It's not such a big space, he must be around there
- 00:04:15.831 --> 00:04:17.766
- Somewhere on the hill, amen; the people are down there.
- 00:04:17.766 --> 00:04:21.336
- But i went this way, because why this way?
- 00:04:21.336 --> 00:04:23.538
- This way goes straight to the town of capernaum,
- 00:04:23.538 --> 00:04:27.843
- And right after the sermon on the mount,
- 00:04:27.843 --> 00:04:29.177
- The bible says jesus headed to capernaum
- 00:04:29.177 --> 00:04:31.413
- Where he proceeded to heal the centurion servant
- 00:04:31.413 --> 00:04:35.350
- In capernaum and the rest of the account in capernaum.
- 00:04:35.350 --> 00:04:37.552
- So to go to capernaum,
- 00:04:37.552 --> 00:04:38.887
- You don't go down to where the crowd is.
- 00:04:38.887 --> 00:04:40.889
- That is going towards tiberias area, amen?
- 00:04:40.889 --> 00:04:44.226
- He would have not gone down this way,
- 00:04:44.226 --> 00:04:46.228
- He went down this way.
- 00:04:46.228 --> 00:04:47.996
- To further confirm this, at the end of the sermon on the mount,
- 00:04:47.996 --> 00:04:50.999
- The bible says, "and he went down the mountain,
- 00:04:50.999 --> 00:04:53.735
- And great multitudes followed him."
- 00:04:53.735 --> 00:04:55.837
- If he went down to where the multitudes were,
- 00:04:55.837 --> 00:04:58.640
- They don't have to follow him, so obviously he went this way,
- 00:04:58.640 --> 00:05:01.943
- The multitudes followed him.
- 00:05:01.943 --> 00:05:03.278
- They were saying, "where is he going?"
- 00:05:03.278 --> 00:05:05.280
- Now, it's very beautiful, and this revelation came to me.
- 00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:08.817
- Never heard anyone preach this,
- 00:05:08.817 --> 00:05:10.218
- But this came to me when i was there:
- 00:05:10.218 --> 00:05:11.853
- There was a leper hiding somewhere there.
- 00:05:11.853 --> 00:05:13.889
- I say he's hiding because when i went down there,
- 00:05:13.889 --> 00:05:16.258
- I saw a lot of volcanic rocks that--you know,
- 00:05:16.258 --> 00:05:20.061
- The whole area is strewn, the whole area
- 00:05:20.061 --> 00:05:21.897
- By the lake of galilee is strewn
- 00:05:21.897 --> 00:05:23.298
- With volcanic rocks, okay?
- 00:05:23.298 --> 00:05:27.035
- And there was a lot of rocks that tumbled and all that, and
- 00:05:27.035 --> 00:05:30.338
- All of a sudden, it's like i had a vision of that leper
- 00:05:30.338 --> 00:05:32.774
- Hiding in one of those rocks.
- 00:05:32.774 --> 00:05:34.910
- He cannot be appearing among the crowd
- 00:05:34.910 --> 00:05:36.812
- Because they would stone him to death,
- 00:05:36.812 --> 00:05:39.114
- And i just imagined that he was eavesdropping,
- 00:05:39.114 --> 00:05:42.050
- He was listening to the lord saying--and when he
- 00:05:42.050 --> 00:05:45.220
- Spoke from that mountaintop, and we have tested it,
- 00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:48.056
- His voice carried through the valley, amen?
- 00:05:48.056 --> 00:05:52.227
- It's a natural acoustic, all right, up on the hill.
- 00:05:52.227 --> 00:05:55.230
- And he could hear jesus saying, "don't worry about your life,
- 00:05:55.230 --> 00:05:57.966
- What you shall eat, what you shall eat;
- 00:05:57.966 --> 00:05:59.968
- Nor yet for your body what you shall put on.
- 00:05:59.968 --> 00:06:02.237
- Isn't your life more than food?
- 00:06:02.237 --> 00:06:06.241
- Isn't your body more important than your clothing?
- 00:06:06.241 --> 00:06:09.010
- Look at the birds of the air.
- 00:06:09.010 --> 00:06:10.479
- They sow not, neither do they reap,
- 00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:12.314
- Yet your heavenly father feeds them.
- 00:06:12.314 --> 00:06:14.516
- Are you not much better than they?"
- 00:06:14.516 --> 00:06:16.384
- And the leper was listening, and he was crying.
- 00:06:16.384 --> 00:06:18.753
- Perhaps even a bird would come flitting onto a rock near him,
- 00:06:18.753 --> 00:06:23.158
- And he looked at the bird.
- 00:06:23.158 --> 00:06:24.626
- God cares for the bird.
- 00:06:24.626 --> 00:06:25.961
- How much--jesus is saying, "how much better are you
- 00:06:25.961 --> 00:06:27.796
- Than the bird?"
- 00:06:27.796 --> 00:06:29.531
- And here is jesus walking towards your direction.
- 00:06:29.531 --> 00:06:31.566
- Jesus walking towards him.
- 00:06:31.566 --> 00:06:34.636
- Isn't the lord wonderful?
- 00:06:34.636 --> 00:06:36.738
- So jesus went all the way there, right, to where the guy was,
- 00:06:36.738 --> 00:06:41.409
- And the man came up to jesus,
- 00:06:41.409 --> 00:06:43.011
- And the bible says in this story,
- 00:06:43.011 --> 00:06:44.479
- Matthew 8, when he finished the sermon,
- 00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:46.047
- He went down the mountain.
- 00:06:46.047 --> 00:06:47.382
- There's no way that that leper was among the multitude.
- 00:06:47.382 --> 00:06:50.352
- I never thought of that.
- 00:06:50.352 --> 00:06:51.686
- That's why we need to meditate on the word.
- 00:06:51.686 --> 00:06:53.154
- So when i was there, you know, in the mount of beatitude,
- 00:06:53.154 --> 00:06:56.725
- I walked towards this direction.
- 00:06:56.725 --> 00:06:58.159
- I could just imagine--i walked by myself and looked at all the
- 00:06:58.159 --> 00:07:00.729
- Slabs of stone and all that; one of these probably hid the leper.
- 00:07:00.729 --> 00:07:04.799
- He cannot be seen in public.
- 00:07:04.799 --> 00:07:06.301
- So jesus walked to where he was, and he appeared before jesus and
- 00:07:06.301 --> 00:07:09.938
- Said, "lord, if you can, please; if you can, make me clean.
- 00:07:09.938 --> 00:07:14.910
- If you are willing"--not if you can, "if you are willing."
- 00:07:14.910 --> 00:07:18.280
- He knew jesus could.
- 00:07:18.280 --> 00:07:19.714
- "if you are willing."
- 00:07:19.714 --> 00:07:21.149
- But he doubted whether jesus was willing
- 00:07:21.149 --> 00:07:22.484
- To use his power for him.
- 00:07:22.484 --> 00:07:24.719
- How many know that that's the reason
- 00:07:24.719 --> 00:07:26.054
- Why jesus walked towards that direction?
- 00:07:26.054 --> 00:07:28.123
- And jesus touched him.
- 00:07:28.123 --> 00:07:29.558
- Oh, how--a leper has never been touched by anybody;
- 00:07:29.558 --> 00:07:33.695
- And how he has not been touched,
- 00:07:33.695 --> 00:07:35.130
- That human touch that makes a person,
- 00:07:35.130 --> 00:07:37.232
- You know, feel like a human.
- 00:07:37.232 --> 00:07:39.067
- Jesus touched him first before he cleansed him,
- 00:07:39.067 --> 00:07:41.937
- And jesus says, "i will."
- 00:07:41.937 --> 00:07:43.738
- I feel like god is anointing people,
- 00:07:43.738 --> 00:07:45.974
- And right now healing people in different places.
- 00:07:45.974 --> 00:07:48.877
- Listen carefully: the blood, whenever you talk about
- 00:07:48.877 --> 00:07:52.614
- The blood of jesus, amen, the holy spirit responds.
- 00:07:52.614 --> 00:07:55.951
- I'm going to tell you why, okay?
- 00:07:55.951 --> 00:07:58.486
- One bird is killed.
- 00:07:58.486 --> 00:08:01.423
- The blood of the trespass offering
- 00:08:01.423 --> 00:08:03.825
- Is put on the poor leper, on his right thumb.
- 00:08:03.825 --> 00:08:08.363
- Now, say "trespass offering."
- 00:08:08.363 --> 00:08:10.332
- Remember, trespass offering
- 00:08:10.332 --> 00:08:11.967
- Means that you get much more than what you have lost.
- 00:08:11.967 --> 00:08:16.972
- Are you listening?
- 00:08:16.972 --> 00:08:18.573
- "trespass offering" means if you have been cheated.
- 00:08:18.573 --> 00:08:20.375
- Someone sins against you or whatever, amen,
- 00:08:20.375 --> 00:08:23.378
- You will get much more than before you lost
- 00:08:23.378 --> 00:08:25.780
- That item or object or animal, or whatever.
- 00:08:25.780 --> 00:08:29.017
- All right, this is the trespass offering,
- 00:08:29.017 --> 00:08:30.952
- So it's a picture of where sin increases,
- 00:08:30.952 --> 00:08:32.554
- Grace superabounds.
- 00:08:32.554 --> 00:08:34.356
- In the very area of your weakness,
- 00:08:34.356 --> 00:08:35.890
- God's grace will triumph.
- 00:08:35.890 --> 00:08:37.759
- So, let's say your problem is pornography, amen?
- 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.462
- Well, that's the very area that god's grace will triumph.
- 00:08:40.462 --> 00:08:43.431
- If you allow it to, it will triumph in that area.
- 00:08:43.431 --> 00:08:46.267
- Let's say your area's bad-temperedness.
- 00:08:46.267 --> 00:08:48.303
- Well, in the very area of your bad-temperedness,
- 00:08:48.303 --> 00:08:50.839
- People will look at you and say,
- 00:08:50.839 --> 00:08:52.340
- "what a tender-hearted man, what a loving man," amen?
- 00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:56.177
- Amen, i'm telling you, church, this is what the gospel--
- 00:08:56.177 --> 00:08:59.781
- The power of the gospel is all about.
- 00:08:59.781 --> 00:09:01.916
- Praise the lord, can i have a good amen?
- 00:09:01.916 --> 00:09:03.618
- So they put the blood of the trespass offering
- 00:09:03.618 --> 00:09:05.654
- On the right thumb of the leper, okay?
- 00:09:05.654 --> 00:09:09.324
- Say "right thumb."
- 00:09:09.324 --> 00:09:10.925
- This is for the things that you do, the things that you touch,
- 00:09:10.925 --> 00:09:12.994
- And then the blood of the trespass offering is put
- 00:09:12.994 --> 00:09:16.231
- On the right lobe of the ear, and also on the right toe.
- 00:09:16.231 --> 00:09:21.770
- Okay, that's the thing: right lobe of the ear,
- 00:09:21.770 --> 00:09:24.439
- Which means the things you hear will be from now on anointed
- 00:09:24.439 --> 00:09:27.876
- And cleansed.
- 00:09:27.876 --> 00:09:29.411
- Amen, the things that you do will be touched and cleansed,
- 00:09:29.411 --> 00:09:31.880
- So whatever you do prospers.
- 00:09:31.880 --> 00:09:34.349
- Like joseph, whatever he touched,
- 00:09:34.349 --> 00:09:36.184
- The lord made it to prosper.
- 00:09:36.184 --> 00:09:37.752
- And then the right toe: wherever you walk, you're a blessing.
- 00:09:37.752 --> 00:09:40.855
- Wherever you walk, amen, it's gonna be blessed
- 00:09:40.855 --> 00:09:43.825
- For you as well, amen.
- 00:09:43.825 --> 00:09:45.493
- Amen, god put you at the right place at the right time.
- 00:09:45.493 --> 00:09:47.295
- The blood will take care of you so that the blood
- 00:09:47.295 --> 00:09:49.064
- Will protect you from all the evil, praise god.
- 00:09:49.064 --> 00:09:51.266
- So right ear, right thumb, right toe for the feet.
- 00:09:51.266 --> 00:09:57.072
- Now, watch this: before the chapter ends,
- 00:09:57.072 --> 00:09:59.541
- It says that "now put the oil"-- the priest will put the oil
- 00:09:59.541 --> 00:10:03.378
- On the right lobe where the blood is.
- 00:10:03.378 --> 00:10:04.979
- So where the blood is, the oil comes on the blood;
- 00:10:04.979 --> 00:10:08.049
- And then the right thumb,
- 00:10:08.049 --> 00:10:09.584
- Where the blood of the trespass offering was,
- 00:10:09.584 --> 00:10:11.553
- The oil comes on the blood, amen?
- 00:10:11.553 --> 00:10:13.822
- And then the right toe, the oil comes on the blood.
- 00:10:13.822 --> 00:10:18.460
- What's the oil a representation of?
- 00:10:18.460 --> 00:10:19.928
- The holy spirit, the anointing of god.
- 00:10:19.928 --> 00:10:22.630
- I'm telling you, church, the very--
- 00:10:22.630 --> 00:10:24.799
- Wherever the blood touches, the holy spirit answers, amen.
- 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:29.137
- When the blood is honored, the holy spirit responds, amen.
- 00:10:29.137 --> 00:10:32.640
- The holy spirit's--you don't have to be conscious
- 00:10:32.640 --> 00:10:34.409
- All the time, "the holy spirit's in me,
- 00:10:34.409 --> 00:10:35.777
- The holy spirit's in me," you just have to be conscious
- 00:10:35.777 --> 00:10:37.412
- That you are being cleansed by the blood of jesus.
- 00:10:37.412 --> 00:10:39.414
- 1 john 1:7 says that "if we walk in the light,
- 00:10:39.414 --> 00:10:42.083
- As he is in the light,"
- 00:10:42.083 --> 00:10:43.451
- It's not a matter of how you walk,
- 00:10:43.451 --> 00:10:44.819
- It's a matter of where you walk.
- 00:10:44.819 --> 00:10:46.221
- Once you are saved, you are in the light,
- 00:10:46.221 --> 00:10:47.655
- You are walking in the light.
- 00:10:47.655 --> 00:10:48.990
- And the bible says when you are in the light,
- 00:10:48.990 --> 00:10:50.325
- Doesn't mean you are perfectly free from sin,
- 00:10:50.325 --> 00:10:51.793
- But the blood of jesus christ--
- 00:10:51.793 --> 00:10:53.228
- Present tense--continuously cleanses you from every sin.
- 00:10:53.228 --> 00:10:57.031
- Every itemized sin, you are cleansed from it,
- 00:10:57.031 --> 00:11:00.702
- And you must live in that consciousness.
- 00:11:00.702 --> 00:11:04.205
- The bible says you are "righteous by the blood
- 00:11:04.205 --> 00:11:05.907
- Of jesus," so what are you more conscious of today?
- 00:11:05.907 --> 00:11:08.710
- Your sins, your failures thus far,
- 00:11:08.710 --> 00:11:10.478
- Or the blood that ever cleanses you?
- 00:11:10.478 --> 00:11:12.847
- Right now, you are in a wash cycle.
- 00:11:12.847 --> 00:11:15.183
- The blood keeps you clean.
- 00:11:15.183 --> 00:11:17.786
- The monkey's off your back to try to be forgiven,
- 00:11:17.786 --> 00:11:20.255
- To try to be kept clean.
- 00:11:20.255 --> 00:11:21.723
- It's not your responsibility anymore.
- 00:11:21.723 --> 00:11:23.558
- Your part is to believe that the blood cleanses you all the time,
- 00:11:23.558 --> 00:11:27.095
- And the spirit answers to the blood.
- 00:11:27.095 --> 00:11:28.863
- When you are conscious of that,
- 00:11:28.863 --> 00:11:30.298
- Man, you are anointed because the spirit comes on you.
- 00:11:30.298 --> 00:11:33.234
- Whenever you are conscious of blood, the spirit comes on you.
- 00:11:33.234 --> 00:11:36.037
- Where the blood is, the spirit comes.
- 00:11:36.037 --> 00:11:40.241
- Now, this leper has become a gainer.
- 00:11:40.241 --> 00:11:42.944
- He has something now that even an average jew
- 00:11:42.944 --> 00:11:45.747
- In ancient israel at that time don't have,
- 00:11:45.747 --> 00:11:48.516
- Because only kings are anointed with the oil.
- 00:11:48.516 --> 00:11:51.786
- Only priests are anointed.
- 00:11:51.786 --> 00:11:53.655
- Only three groups, all right: prophet, priest,
- 00:11:53.655 --> 00:11:58.593
- And king are anointed.
- 00:11:58.593 --> 00:12:00.829
- But now, this lowly--this poor leper
- 00:12:00.829 --> 00:12:07.368
- Who has been cleansed gets the oil.
- 00:12:07.368 --> 00:12:13.141
- He joins the category of the kings, the prophets,
- 00:12:13.141 --> 00:12:15.243
- And the priests.
- 00:12:15.243 --> 00:12:17.612
- What an honor.
- 00:12:17.612 --> 00:12:19.814
- And that tells us that whatever you have lost by sin,
- 00:12:19.814 --> 00:12:25.386
- God's grace will superabound.
- 00:12:25.386 --> 00:12:27.589
- You know, i get criticized for preaching this, amen,
- 00:12:27.589 --> 00:12:29.958
- But it's the bible.
- 00:12:29.958 --> 00:12:31.492
- It's the bible, people.
- 00:12:31.492 --> 00:12:32.961
- Instead of the despairing that you have sinned, okay,
- 00:12:32.961 --> 00:12:35.463
- You have sinned--this is not to encourage you to sin, all right?
- 00:12:35.463 --> 00:12:38.199
- In fact, paul preached like this so strong that people say,
- 00:12:38.199 --> 00:12:41.369
- "paul is saying, 'let us sin more that grace may abound.'"
- 00:12:41.369 --> 00:12:43.638
- But if you look at the verses before paul brought up
- 00:12:43.638 --> 00:12:46.207
- The question, you will find it says,
- 00:12:46.207 --> 00:12:48.076
- "where sin increase," pleonazo in greek.
- 00:12:48.076 --> 00:12:50.879
- "increase" means you can count it, all right?
- 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.781
- "grace huperperisseuo" is not "pleonazo," all right?
- 00:12:53.781 --> 00:12:57.418
- It does not say in your king james you use both words
- 00:12:57.418 --> 00:13:00.321
- The same, but actually it says, "where sin abounds,
- 00:13:00.321 --> 00:13:02.724
- Grace much more abounds,"
- 00:13:02.724 --> 00:13:04.092
- But in the greek, "where sin increases,
- 00:13:04.092 --> 00:13:07.061
- Grace superabounds," which means you cannot measure it;
- 00:13:07.061 --> 00:13:10.365
- The word hyperperisseuo, "beyond its banks"
- 00:13:10.365 --> 00:13:14.235
- And much more on top of that.
- 00:13:14.235 --> 00:13:16.738
- So instead of despairing that you have sinned, realize this:
- 00:13:16.738 --> 00:13:20.174
- Now because of this sin, because the devil tempted you
- 00:13:20.174 --> 00:13:22.944
- Or whatever it is,
- 00:13:22.944 --> 00:13:24.279
- And because of this sin, amen, now there's more abundant grace,
- 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:30.852
- Superabounding grace in this very area. so it wasn't god's will that david had bathsheba
- 00:13:30.852 --> 00:13:33.621
- For his wife, but of all the wives that david had,
- 00:13:37.892 --> 00:13:44.399
- It was through bathsheba--of all the sons that he had,
- 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:48.036
- It was the son through bathsheba
- 00:13:48.036 --> 00:13:49.737
- That god raised as king to succeed david.
- 00:13:49.737 --> 00:13:54.275
- Now, that's not to say, "all right, commit adultery!"
- 00:13:54.275 --> 00:13:58.246
- We're not saying, "let us sin more that grace may abound,"
- 00:13:58.246 --> 00:14:00.014
- But where there is sin already,
- 00:14:00.014 --> 00:14:01.783
- You're in despair because of the blood.
- 00:14:01.783 --> 00:14:04.152
- Amen, in the very area you respond to god,
- 00:14:04.152 --> 00:14:06.621
- There will be much more grace.
- 00:14:06.621 --> 00:14:09.424
- Now, your problem is that you fell into this sin,
- 00:14:09.424 --> 00:14:11.159
- That you're saying the devil will come to you and say,
- 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:12.627
- "now, what can you expect?
- 00:14:12.627 --> 00:14:13.995
- You can expect bad health, all right?
- 00:14:13.995 --> 00:14:16.297
- And you know what's going to happen?
- 00:14:16.297 --> 00:14:18.366
- Your kids will be in trouble because of your sin just now,
- 00:14:18.366 --> 00:14:21.002
- And because of this and that."
- 00:14:21.002 --> 00:14:22.337
- There's a fearful expectation of evil as mentioned in hebrews 10.
- 00:14:22.337 --> 00:14:26.908
- There is this fearful expectation of judgment,
- 00:14:26.908 --> 00:14:31.145
- And that's what the devil wants to bring.
- 00:14:31.145 --> 00:14:32.580
- But this preaching of grace--where sin increases,
- 00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:34.515
- Grace superabounds--will set you free from that.
- 00:14:34.515 --> 00:14:38.019
- It will tell you, "because of this sin,"
- 00:14:38.019 --> 00:14:39.921
- All right, "my children will be doubly blessed."
- 00:14:39.921 --> 00:14:42.890
- Amen, my future is doubly bright, amen.
- 00:14:42.890 --> 00:14:48.296
- In the entire old testament, we have many promises of god,
- 00:14:48.296 --> 00:14:52.333
- But there is the promise.
- 00:14:52.333 --> 00:14:54.502
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:14:54.502 --> 00:14:55.837
- Say "the promise."
- 00:14:55.837 --> 00:14:57.438
- So what is the promise?
- 00:14:57.438 --> 00:15:00.675
- It's one definite promise that is alluded to.
- 00:15:00.675 --> 00:15:07.215
- There is an emphasis that all the prophets talk about
- 00:15:07.215 --> 00:15:12.420
- In the old testament, amen--or at least they allude to it,
- 00:15:12.420 --> 00:15:17.058
- But what is the promise?
- 00:15:17.058 --> 00:15:19.360
- Amen, it's the promise that you'll be
- 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:21.863
- "endued with power from on high."
- 00:15:21.863 --> 00:15:23.731
- What is this enduement with power from on high?
- 00:15:23.731 --> 00:15:26.367
- All right, let's look at acts.
- 00:15:26.367 --> 00:15:28.936
- "being assembled together with them"--
- 00:15:28.936 --> 00:15:30.271
- Now, jesus is about to ascend to heaven.
- 00:15:30.271 --> 00:15:33.274
- Jesus "commanded them not to depart from jerusalem,
- 00:15:33.274 --> 00:15:35.843
- But to wait for the promise of the father."
- 00:15:35.843 --> 00:15:38.279
- Say "the promise."
- 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.314
- What is the promise of the father?
- 00:15:40.314 --> 00:15:42.850
- Definite article, one and only promise,
- 00:15:42.850 --> 00:15:44.285
- The promise of the father.
- 00:15:44.285 --> 00:15:46.020
- It's the promise of the father that brings
- 00:15:46.020 --> 00:15:47.488
- All the other promises into fulfillment in your life.
- 00:15:47.488 --> 00:15:51.225
- Amen, "but wait for the promise of the father,
- 00:15:51.225 --> 00:15:53.795
- 'which,' jesus said, 'you have heard from me,'"
- 00:15:53.795 --> 00:15:56.597
- Amen, "'for john truly baptized with water,
- 00:15:56.597 --> 00:15:59.300
- But you shall be baptized with the holy spirit
- 00:15:59.300 --> 00:16:02.403
- Not many days from now,'" amen.
- 00:16:02.403 --> 00:16:05.139
- So, ten more days after 40 days is the day of pentecost.
- 00:16:05.139 --> 00:16:08.943
- When the day of pentecost was fully come,
- 00:16:08.943 --> 00:16:10.545
- God sent the holy spirit, amen.
- 00:16:10.545 --> 00:16:13.548
- And he says like this, very--give them acts 2,
- 00:16:13.548 --> 00:16:17.085
- The first part.
- 00:16:17.085 --> 00:16:18.419
- "when the day of pentecost had fully come,
- 00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:20.154
- There came a sound from heaven
- 00:16:20.154 --> 00:16:21.589
- Like a rushing mighty wind."
- 00:16:21.589 --> 00:16:23.091
- Why does it say "when the day of pentecost was fully come?"
- 00:16:23.091 --> 00:16:25.059
- Because the first pentecost in the old testament
- 00:16:25.059 --> 00:16:27.728
- Was the giving of the law.
- 00:16:27.728 --> 00:16:29.997
- God gave the law, okay?
- 00:16:29.997 --> 00:16:32.400
- That was the first pentecost, and the result
- 00:16:32.400 --> 00:16:34.802
- Was 3,000 people died at the foot of the mountain.
- 00:16:34.802 --> 00:16:40.208
- But when the day of pentecost in the new testament--
- 00:16:40.208 --> 00:16:42.610
- A new covenant had come because jesus has died.
- 00:16:42.610 --> 00:16:45.880
- He has paid for our sins, the blood has been shed,
- 00:16:45.880 --> 00:16:48.316
- Now the spirit answers to the blood.
- 00:16:48.316 --> 00:16:50.051
- Are you listening people?
- 00:16:50.051 --> 00:16:51.419
- When the day of pentecost had fully come,
- 00:16:51.419 --> 00:16:53.721
- All right, the holy spirit came.
- 00:16:53.721 --> 00:16:55.623
- So obviously, the day of pentecost for the jew
- 00:16:55.623 --> 00:16:58.559
- Even today is only on this side here.
- 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:00.962
- It's very sad, because the law demands but never imparts.
- 00:17:00.962 --> 00:17:05.066
- The law is holy, but it cannot impart holiness.
- 00:17:05.066 --> 00:17:07.535
- The law is righteous, but it cannot give you
- 00:17:07.535 --> 00:17:09.203
- The gift of righteousness,
- 00:17:09.203 --> 00:17:10.638
- But what the law demands, the spirit supplies.
- 00:17:10.638 --> 00:17:14.008
- The spirit imparts, the spirit gives.
- 00:17:14.008 --> 00:17:16.043
- Can i have a good amen, all right?
- 00:17:16.043 --> 00:17:17.578
- The law demands righteousness, the spirit of god imparts
- 00:17:17.578 --> 00:17:19.947
- Righteousness to you, amen, gives you the gift
- 00:17:19.947 --> 00:17:22.450
- Of righteousness.
- 00:17:22.450 --> 00:17:23.885
- So whatever we need today, the holy spirit imparts to us.
- 00:17:23.885 --> 00:17:25.586
- He's not there to demand.
- 00:17:25.586 --> 00:17:26.921
- Whenever you think of the holy spirit as demanding,
- 00:17:26.921 --> 00:17:28.289
- You have put the holy spirit in a place
- 00:17:28.289 --> 00:17:29.690
- Where he does not belong.
- 00:17:29.690 --> 00:17:31.626
- He is there to impart, he is there to help.
- 00:17:31.626 --> 00:17:34.095
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:17:34.095 --> 00:17:35.763
- All right, so on the day of pente--first pentecost,
- 00:17:35.763 --> 00:17:38.199
- The law was given, 3,000 died.
- 00:17:38.199 --> 00:17:39.967
- The new covenant pentecost, this day when the day of pentecost
- 00:17:39.967 --> 00:17:43.404
- Had fully come, the spirit was given,
- 00:17:43.404 --> 00:17:46.374
- And 3,000 people were saved in that day.
- 00:17:46.374 --> 00:17:49.277
- And peter in that sermon--before 3,000 got saved, he preached
- 00:17:49.277 --> 00:17:53.214
- That sermon, they got to 3,000 people saved.
- 00:17:53.214 --> 00:17:55.716
- Peter actually said when he stood up--all right,
- 00:17:55.716 --> 00:17:58.319
- Give them a acts 2 drop-down.
- 00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:59.887
- "this jesus god has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
- 00:17:59.887 --> 00:18:03.658
- Therefore being exalted to the right hand of god."
- 00:18:03.658 --> 00:18:06.327
- He's telling them what happened to jesus after he rose
- 00:18:06.327 --> 00:18:08.062
- From the dead.
- 00:18:08.062 --> 00:18:09.397
- He was just--he just saw jesus go up to heaven ten days ago,
- 00:18:09.397 --> 00:18:12.066
- And now he tells them,
- 00:18:12.066 --> 00:18:13.568
- "being exalted to the right hand of god."
- 00:18:13.568 --> 00:18:15.536
- Hallelujah, the one who was crowned with thorns
- 00:18:15.536 --> 00:18:18.005
- Is now crowned with glory and honor, hallelujah.
- 00:18:18.005 --> 00:18:21.609
- Every crown--crown him with many crowns, hallelujah.
- 00:18:21.609 --> 00:18:24.679
- Amen, he's worthy of it.
- 00:18:24.679 --> 00:18:26.380
- "and having received from the father
- 00:18:26.380 --> 00:18:28.082
- The promise of the holy spirit,
- 00:18:28.082 --> 00:18:30.017
- He poured out this which you now see and hear."
- 00:18:30.017 --> 00:18:32.420
- So it's like jesus in heaven saying, "hey, now you
- 00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:35.022
- Have the gift of the holy--i paid for it, now you have it."
- 00:18:35.022 --> 00:18:38.793
- It's a dream of all the jewish people in the old testament
- 00:18:38.793 --> 00:18:43.531
- To have this promise, but they cannot have it
- 00:18:43.531 --> 00:18:45.800
- In the old covenant
- 00:18:45.800 --> 00:18:47.134
- Because christ has not yet died, amen?
- 00:18:47.134 --> 00:18:49.337
- But it's like--peter is saying here, he has
- 00:18:49.337 --> 00:18:51.973
- "received from the father the promise of the holy spirit."
- 00:18:51.973 --> 00:18:54.976
- Now he is "pouring it out which you now see and hear."
- 00:18:54.976 --> 00:18:58.246
- "they are praying in tongues," the bible says,
- 00:18:58.246 --> 00:18:59.947
- And when the holy spirit filled them,
- 00:18:59.947 --> 00:19:01.415
- "they were all speaking in tongues,"
- 00:19:01.415 --> 00:19:02.984
- And it's something that people can see and hear, amen.
- 00:19:02.984 --> 00:19:06.387
- This idea that you are saved and then you are baptized
- 00:19:06.387 --> 00:19:09.056
- In the holy spirit immediately, it's not scriptural.
- 00:19:09.056 --> 00:19:13.194
- Now you have the holy spirit once you are saved.
- 00:19:13.194 --> 00:19:15.896
- Don't doubt that, you have the holy spirit,
- 00:19:15.896 --> 00:19:18.332
- But it's one thing to have the holy spirit;
- 00:19:18.332 --> 00:19:19.867
- It's another thing for the holy spirit to have you.
- 00:19:19.867 --> 00:19:21.969
- I can drink water, water is now inside me;
- 00:19:21.969 --> 00:19:24.772
- But if i jump into it,
- 00:19:24.772 --> 00:19:26.407
- I dive into the swimming pool, i'm now in the water.
- 00:19:26.407 --> 00:19:29.377
- Baptism of the holy spirit is you diving into the pool, amen?
- 00:19:29.377 --> 00:19:33.981
- Once you are saved, you have the water inside you, but you know,
- 00:19:33.981 --> 00:19:37.018
- Baptism of the holy spirit is immersed
- 00:19:37.018 --> 00:19:38.919
- In the holy spirit, hallelujah.
- 00:19:38.919 --> 00:19:41.355
- So i want to close with this.
- 00:19:41.355 --> 00:19:43.758
- We touched on this a little bit, but let me just tell you this:
- 00:19:43.758 --> 00:19:46.527
- The life of the holy spirit is a wonderful life.
- 00:19:46.527 --> 00:19:50.698
- Many a times, you know, if you pray in the spirit,
- 00:19:50.698 --> 00:19:54.201
- You pray in tongues, amen?
- 00:19:54.201 --> 00:19:56.037
- You will sensitize your spirit to the holy spirit,
- 00:19:56.037 --> 00:20:00.675
- And you will live by perceiving instead of reasoning.
- 00:20:00.675 --> 00:20:04.679
- Why people are defeated, is because they reason a lot
- 00:20:04.679 --> 00:20:07.315
- Instead of perceiving.
- 00:20:07.315 --> 00:20:09.550
- God told adam--before eve came, god told adam,
- 00:20:09.550 --> 00:20:12.887
- "of all the trees in the garden, you may freely eat";
- 00:20:12.887 --> 00:20:17.124
- Akol tokel in hebrew.
- 00:20:17.124 --> 00:20:19.994
- The word akol akol appears twice: eat, eat.
- 00:20:19.994 --> 00:20:22.697
- That means "freely eat."
- 00:20:22.697 --> 00:20:24.799
- Like, even in, you know, in singlish, right, we say,
- 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:28.102
- "hey, eat, eat, eat!"
- 00:20:28.102 --> 00:20:30.471
- We are very close to the hebrew.
- 00:20:30.471 --> 00:20:32.073
- So literally in the hebrew, "freely eat."
- 00:20:32.073 --> 00:20:35.509
- God says, "freely eat."
- 00:20:35.509 --> 00:20:36.844
- So look at the generosity of god.
- 00:20:36.844 --> 00:20:38.479
- People say, "well, god forbade them the tree."
- 00:20:38.479 --> 00:20:40.114
- Why do you--how come you focus on that one?
- 00:20:40.114 --> 00:20:41.782
- You know how many trees there are that god says
- 00:20:41.782 --> 00:20:43.117
- You can freely eat?
- 00:20:43.117 --> 00:20:44.919
- "but to show your honor me and my lordship,
- 00:20:44.919 --> 00:20:48.289
- To show that you acknowledge me as god,"
- 00:20:48.289 --> 00:20:50.191
- That's what the tithe is all about.
- 00:20:50.191 --> 00:20:52.460
- All right, you don't have to tithe, you get to.
- 00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:56.230
- All right, it's for people with revelation.
- 00:20:56.230 --> 00:20:57.898
- So acknowledge: don't eat from this tree,
- 00:20:57.898 --> 00:21:02.136
- But it's a tree that god gave.
- 00:21:02.136 --> 00:21:03.704
- God planted, but it's meant to--for men to always
- 00:21:03.704 --> 00:21:07.541
- Not eat from it, to show god's ownership.
- 00:21:07.541 --> 00:21:09.777
- God's--man is a steward, amen.
- 00:21:09.777 --> 00:21:12.880
- Are you listening?
- 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:14.248
- But if we go deeper, what's the nature of the tree?
- 00:21:14.248 --> 00:21:15.950
- What's the name of the tree called?
- 00:21:15.950 --> 00:21:17.518
- "knowledge of good and evil,"
- 00:21:17.518 --> 00:21:20.287
- So what's wrong with the knowledge of good?
- 00:21:20.287 --> 00:21:23.157
- It's as deadly as the knowledge of evil.
- 00:21:23.157 --> 00:21:26.560
- "the day that you eat of it," god told adam--"dying"
- 00:21:26.560 --> 00:21:29.897
- In the hebrew.
- 00:21:29.897 --> 00:21:31.232
- Dying, you die slowly; you die spiritually, and you die slowly.
- 00:21:31.232 --> 00:21:35.636
- Dying: you shall die physically one day.
- 00:21:35.636 --> 00:21:38.939
- Dying, "you shall die" in the hebrew.
- 00:21:38.939 --> 00:21:40.674
- In our english, "thou shall surely die."
- 00:21:40.674 --> 00:21:42.543
- So today, man is still eating from the tree of knowledge.
- 00:21:42.543 --> 00:21:47.047
- They ask themselves, "is this good or evil?"
- 00:21:47.047 --> 00:21:49.417
- That's not the question.
- 00:21:49.417 --> 00:21:50.751
- Is this what the spirit is saying to do?
- 00:21:50.751 --> 00:21:54.889
- Are you listening?
- 00:21:54.889 --> 00:21:56.590
- Mark 2, real quick.
- 00:21:56.590 --> 00:21:59.026
- All right, "when jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic,
- 00:21:59.026 --> 00:22:01.328
- 'son, your sins are forgiven you,'" drop down, "and some of
- 00:22:01.328 --> 00:22:04.165
- The scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts."
- 00:22:04.165 --> 00:22:07.268
- Where were they reasoning?
- 00:22:07.268 --> 00:22:09.003
- Reasoning: the greek is dialogismos.
- 00:22:09.003 --> 00:22:13.073
- Dialogue--your english word from--logic, dialogic,
- 00:22:13.073 --> 00:22:18.145
- Dialogismos, all right?
- 00:22:18.145 --> 00:22:20.047
- It's the greek word here.
- 00:22:20.047 --> 00:22:21.449
- They are reasoning, reasoning, reasoning.
- 00:22:21.449 --> 00:22:23.651
- When you live by reasoning, you cannot live the abundant life.
- 00:22:23.651 --> 00:22:28.155
- We live by the spirit.
- 00:22:28.155 --> 00:22:29.790
- The spirit is faster than the mind.
- 00:22:29.790 --> 00:22:32.059
- You know things before your mind can logic it out.
- 00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:34.562
- In fact, it takes mind sometimes--even days before
- 00:22:34.562 --> 00:22:37.498
- We come to the conclusion, but the spirit can get it real fast.
- 00:22:37.498 --> 00:22:41.535
- I'm coming to something very exciting here, and it's almost
- 00:22:41.535 --> 00:22:43.437
- Time, all right, so i think we gotta have a conference, amen?
- 00:22:43.437 --> 00:22:49.610
- A whole big conference.
- 00:22:49.610 --> 00:22:50.945
- "why does this man"--the pharisees, the scribe says,
- 00:22:50.945 --> 00:22:53.380
- "why does this man speak blasphemies like this?
- 00:22:53.380 --> 00:22:56.083
- Who can forgive sins but god alone?"
- 00:22:56.083 --> 00:22:58.752
- All right, logismos, logic out, okay?
- 00:22:58.752 --> 00:23:01.422
- And they are right, only god can forgive sins,
- 00:23:01.422 --> 00:23:03.824
- And the man is god.
- 00:23:03.824 --> 00:23:07.661
- "but immediately, when jesus perceived in his spirit that
- 00:23:07.661 --> 00:23:10.598
- They reasoned thus within themselves, he said to them,
- 00:23:10.598 --> 00:23:15.769
- 'why do you reason about these things in your heart?'"
- 00:23:15.769 --> 00:23:18.973
- Jesus perceived in his spirit that they reason.
- 00:23:18.973 --> 00:23:22.109
- Jesus said to them, "why do you reason about these things
- 00:23:22.109 --> 00:23:24.812
- In your heart?"
- 00:23:24.812 --> 00:23:26.146
- Jesus perceived in his spirit.
- 00:23:26.146 --> 00:23:27.815
- You know, many of you, sometimes you know things
- 00:23:27.815 --> 00:23:30.251
- Before your mind can play catch up.
- 00:23:30.251 --> 00:23:33.153
- You're about to sign a deal, you're about to go somewhere,
- 00:23:33.153 --> 00:23:35.322
- You just feel some--or someone talks to you,
- 00:23:35.322 --> 00:23:36.757
- And he's very nice, he compliments you,
- 00:23:36.757 --> 00:23:38.592
- He flatters you more than compliments.
- 00:23:38.592 --> 00:23:40.594
- But inside, you know, ladies,
- 00:23:40.594 --> 00:23:42.263
- You have met those kind of guys before, amen?
- 00:23:42.263 --> 00:23:44.899
- Something is scratchy inside here, you don't feel good.
- 00:23:44.899 --> 00:23:47.167
- Whatever he's saying is all good,
- 00:23:47.167 --> 00:23:49.203
- Whatever he's saying is all nice.
- 00:23:49.203 --> 00:23:50.771
- Have you been there before where your spirit--have you
- 00:23:50.771 --> 00:23:52.806
- Been in places--okay, let's use this illustration.
- 00:23:52.806 --> 00:23:55.342
- Have you been in a situation where somebody said,
- 00:23:55.342 --> 00:23:57.411
- "actually, i knew it.
- 00:23:57.411 --> 00:23:58.812
- I knew it.
- 00:23:58.812 --> 00:24:00.714
- I don't know why i didn't do it, i knew it."
- 00:24:00.714 --> 00:24:05.185
- When you look back, you say, "actually, something told me not
- 00:24:05.185 --> 00:24:07.655
- To go there.
- 00:24:07.655 --> 00:24:09.623
- In fact, something told me not to enter into a contract
- 00:24:09.623 --> 00:24:12.726
- With this person, or into a partnership with this person.
- 00:24:12.726 --> 00:24:15.296
- Something's like 'no,' thank god i obeyed."
- 00:24:15.296 --> 00:24:18.399
- Have you all been there before?
