- You can expect bad health, all right?
- 00:00:15.691 --> 00:00:17.459
- You know what's gonna happen?
- 00:00:17.593 --> 00:00:18.794
- Your kids will be in trouble because of your sin just now,"

- In hebrews 10.
- 00:00:25.334 --> 00:00:26.668

- But this preaching of grace, where sin increase,
- 00:00:29.571 --> 00:00:31.840

- And now, here's pastor joseph prince
- 00:01:45.514 --> 00:01:47.950
- With today's program.
- 00:01:47.950 --> 00:01:49.318
- Joseph prince: you know, the bible tells us that--
- 00:01:49.318 --> 00:01:52.287
- Let's put up leviticus 14, yes, verse 1 to 4.
- 00:01:52.287 --> 00:01:56.525
- "the lord spoke to moses,
- 00:01:56.525 --> 00:01:57.926
- Saying, 'this shall be the law of the leper
- 00:01:57.926 --> 00:02:00.696
- For the day of his cleansing.'"
- 00:02:00.696 --> 00:02:02.097
- Now, stop.
- 00:02:02.097 --> 00:02:03.432
- When you read things like this and god devotes
- 00:02:03.432 --> 00:02:04.967
- An entire chapter--in fact more than one chapter on leprosy
- 00:02:04.967 --> 00:02:08.303
- In the book of leviticus,
- 00:02:08.303 --> 00:02:11.440
- You know that he's not just referring to leprosy
- 00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:13.909
- Because many people don't suffer leprosy today.
- 00:02:13.909 --> 00:02:16.845
- There are still people suffering leprosy.
- 00:02:16.845 --> 00:02:18.914
- And everything in the old testament is a type,
- 00:02:18.914 --> 00:02:20.716
- Is a shadow of a substance.
- 00:02:20.716 --> 00:02:22.451
- So what is leprosy?
- 00:02:22.451 --> 00:02:24.186
- Leprosy is something that-- in those days if they contract
- 00:02:24.186 --> 00:02:27.522
- Leprosy, all right, they are cut off from their families.
- 00:02:27.522 --> 00:02:30.926
- Amen. they live isolated.
- 00:02:30.926 --> 00:02:33.195
- Amen.
- 00:02:33.195 --> 00:02:34.529
- It's a very se--it's almost like a life sentence.
- 00:02:34.529 --> 00:02:37.232
- Amen?
- 00:02:37.232 --> 00:02:38.767
- Where most of the cases they don't get cleansed,
- 00:02:38.767 --> 00:02:42.104
- Many of them they literally sort of degenerate
- 00:02:42.104 --> 00:02:45.140
- And they--their body parts rot away.
- 00:02:45.140 --> 00:02:48.110
- But it's more than just the physical thing the lord
- 00:02:48.110 --> 00:02:51.280
- Is talking about.
- 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:52.648
- It's our sin.
- 00:02:52.648 --> 00:02:54.016
- Growth in christ is not getting stronger and stronger, amen,
- 00:02:54.016 --> 00:02:59.521
- In every way you feel that you are stronger, all right?
- 00:02:59.521 --> 00:03:02.424
- You can overcome this, overcome that.
- 00:03:02.424 --> 00:03:03.792
- Actually, you feel weaker and weaker in and of yourself,
- 00:03:03.792 --> 00:03:08.263
- But then there's a greater and greater dependence
- 00:03:08.263 --> 00:03:10.866
- On christ.
- 00:03:10.866 --> 00:03:12.200
- That, my friend, is spiritual growth.
- 00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:14.102
- So notice it says, "this shall be the law of the leper
- 00:03:14.102 --> 00:03:15.904
- For the day of his cleansing:
- 00:03:15.904 --> 00:03:17.372
- He shall be brought to the priest."
- 00:03:17.372 --> 00:03:18.874
- Notice the passive voice he shall be brought.
- 00:03:18.874 --> 00:03:22.577
- How many of you know that if we were not brought
- 00:03:22.577 --> 00:03:24.713
- By the holy spirit to jesus we'll never be saved?
- 00:03:24.713 --> 00:03:28.250
- When i was in israel a number of years ago,
- 00:03:28.250 --> 00:03:30.986
- I took some time out
- 00:03:30.986 --> 00:03:33.588
- From my group, which are all my pastors, all right?
- 00:03:33.588 --> 00:03:36.458
- And the pastors still remember this.
- 00:03:36.458 --> 00:03:38.393
- I took some time to walk the other side.
- 00:03:38.393 --> 00:03:40.395
- So i went to the other side of the sermon--many of you
- 00:03:40.395 --> 00:03:42.431
- Have been there, the mount of beatitudes.
- 00:03:42.431 --> 00:03:43.799
- It's still so beautiful.
- 00:03:43.799 --> 00:03:45.534
- And the place where jesus was preaching, amen,
- 00:03:45.534 --> 00:03:48.303
- You can tell where most likely he is.
- 00:03:48.303 --> 00:03:50.605
- It's not such a big space.
- 00:03:50.605 --> 00:03:52.007
- He must be around there somewhere on the hill.
- 00:03:52.007 --> 00:03:54.910
- Amen. the people are down there.
- 00:03:54.910 --> 00:03:56.278
- But i went this way. because why this way?
- 00:03:56.278 --> 00:03:58.447
- This way goes straight to the town of capernaum,
- 00:03:58.447 --> 00:04:02.784
- And right after the sermon on the mount
- 00:04:02.784 --> 00:04:04.119
- The bible says jesus headed to capernaum
- 00:04:04.119 --> 00:04:06.188
- Where he proceeded to heal the centurion servant
- 00:04:06.188 --> 00:04:10.325
- In capernaum and the rest of the account in capernaum.
- 00:04:10.325 --> 00:04:12.594
- So to go to capernaum, you don't go down to where the crowd is.
- 00:04:12.594 --> 00:04:15.864
- That is going towards tiberius area.
- 00:04:15.864 --> 00:04:18.200
- Amen?
- 00:04:18.200 --> 00:04:19.568
- He would have not gone down this way.
- 00:04:19.568 --> 00:04:21.536
- He went down this way.
- 00:04:21.536 --> 00:04:22.871
- To further confirmed it in--confirm this,
- 00:04:22.871 --> 00:04:25.073
- At the end of the sermon on the mount
- 00:04:25.073 --> 00:04:26.608
- The bible says, "and he went down the mountain
- 00:04:26.608 --> 00:04:28.677
- And great multitudes followed him."
- 00:04:28.677 --> 00:04:30.679
- If he went down to where the multitudes were,
- 00:04:30.679 --> 00:04:33.382
- They don't have to follow him.
- 00:04:33.382 --> 00:04:35.784
- So obviously he went this way.
- 00:04:35.784 --> 00:04:37.119
- The multitudes followed him.
- 00:04:37.119 --> 00:04:38.453
- They were saying, "where is he going?"
- 00:04:38.453 --> 00:04:40.255
- Now, it's very beautiful, and this revelation came to me.
- 00:04:40.255 --> 00:04:43.792
- Never heard anyone preach this, but this came to me
- 00:04:43.792 --> 00:04:45.827
- When i was there.
- 00:04:45.827 --> 00:04:47.195
- There was a leper hiding somewhere there.
- 00:04:47.195 --> 00:04:49.197
- I say he's hiding because when i went down there
- 00:04:49.197 --> 00:04:51.400
- I saw a lot of volcanic rocks that--you know,
- 00:04:51.400 --> 00:04:55.070
- The whole area is strewn.
- 00:04:55.070 --> 00:04:56.405
- The whole area by the lake of galilee
- 00:04:56.405 --> 00:04:57.873
- Is strewn with volcanic rocks, okay?
- 00:04:57.873 --> 00:05:02.110
- And there was a lot of rocks that tumbled and all that,
- 00:05:02.110 --> 00:05:04.913
- And all of a sudden i--it's like i had a vision of that leper
- 00:05:04.913 --> 00:05:07.783
- Hiding in one of those rocks.
- 00:05:07.783 --> 00:05:09.718
- He cannot be appearing among the crowd because
- 00:05:09.718 --> 00:05:12.120
- They would stone him to death,
- 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:13.989
- And i just imagine that he was eavesdropping.
- 00:05:13.989 --> 00:05:16.925
- He was listening to the lord saying--and when he spoke
- 00:05:16.925 --> 00:05:20.929
- From that mountaintop, and we have tested it,
- 00:05:20.929 --> 00:05:22.864
- His voice carried through the valley.
- 00:05:22.864 --> 00:05:25.267
- Amen?
- 00:05:25.267 --> 00:05:27.068
- It's a natural acoustic, all right, up on the hill,
- 00:05:27.068 --> 00:05:30.005
- And he could hear jesus saying,
- 00:05:30.005 --> 00:05:31.373
- "don't worry about your life what you shall eat,
- 00:05:31.373 --> 00:05:33.642
- What you shall eat, nor yet for your body
- 00:05:33.642 --> 00:05:35.811
- What you shall put on.
- 00:05:35.811 --> 00:05:37.179
- Isn't your life more than food?
- 00:05:37.179 --> 00:05:41.183
- Isn't your body more important than your clothing?
- 00:05:41.183 --> 00:05:43.785
- Look at the birds of the air.
- 00:05:43.785 --> 00:05:45.253
- They sow not, neither do they reap,
- 00:05:45.253 --> 00:05:47.189
- Yet your heavenly father feeds them.
- 00:05:47.189 --> 00:05:49.357
- Are you not much better than they?"
- 00:05:49.357 --> 00:05:51.226
- And the leper was listening, and he was crying.
- 00:05:51.226 --> 00:05:53.528
- Perhaps even a bird would come fleeting unto a rock near him
- 00:05:53.528 --> 00:05:58.033
- And he look at the bird.
- 00:05:58.033 --> 00:05:59.501
- God cares for the bird.
- 00:05:59.501 --> 00:06:00.836
- How much--jesus is saying, "how much better are you
- 00:06:00.836 --> 00:06:02.637
- Than the bird?"
- 00:06:02.637 --> 00:06:04.406
- And here is jesus walking towards your direction.
- 00:06:04.406 --> 00:06:06.374
- Jesus walking towards him.
- 00:06:06.374 --> 00:06:09.478
- Isn't the lord wonderful?
- 00:06:09.478 --> 00:06:11.680
- So jesus went all the way there, right, to where the guy was,
- 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:16.284
- And the man came up to jesus.
- 00:06:16.284 --> 00:06:17.819
- And the bible says in this story, matthew 8,
- 00:06:17.819 --> 00:06:20.021
- When he finished the sermon, he went down the mountain.
- 00:06:20.021 --> 00:06:21.857
- There's no way that leper was among the multitude.
- 00:06:21.857 --> 00:06:25.193
- I never thought of that.
- 00:06:25.193 --> 00:06:26.528
- That's why we need to meditate on the word.
- 00:06:26.528 --> 00:06:28.096
- So when i was there, you know, in mount of beatitude,
- 00:06:28.096 --> 00:06:31.633
- I walked towards that direction.
- 00:06:31.633 --> 00:06:33.001
- Now, i could just imagine, i walk by myself and look
- 00:06:33.001 --> 00:06:35.504
- At all the slabs of stone and all that,
- 00:06:35.504 --> 00:06:37.539
- "one of these probably hid the leper."
- 00:06:37.539 --> 00:06:39.641
- He cannot be seen in public.
- 00:06:39.641 --> 00:06:41.109
- So jesus walked where--to where he was, and he appeared before
- 00:06:41.109 --> 00:06:44.479
- Jesus and said, "lord, if you can, please you--
- 00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:47.782
- If you can, make me clean.
- 00:06:47.782 --> 00:06:49.651
- If you are willing."
- 00:06:49.651 --> 00:06:51.419
- Not, "if you can, if you are willing."
- 00:06:51.419 --> 00:06:53.121
- He knew jesus could.
- 00:06:53.121 --> 00:06:54.456
- "if you are willing--" but he doubt
- 00:06:54.456 --> 00:06:55.957
- Whether jesus was willing to use his power for him.
- 00:06:55.957 --> 00:06:59.461
- How many know that that's the reason why jesus walked
- 00:06:59.461 --> 00:07:01.396
- Towards that direction?
- 00:07:01.396 --> 00:07:02.797
- And jesus touched him.
- 00:07:02.797 --> 00:07:04.132
- Oh, how he had--a leper has never been touched by anybody.
- 00:07:04.132 --> 00:07:08.637
- And how he has not been touched, that human touch
- 00:07:08.637 --> 00:07:11.273
- That makes a person, you know, feel like a human,
- 00:07:11.273 --> 00:07:13.909
- Jesus touched him first
- 00:07:13.909 --> 00:07:15.477
- Before he cleansed him and jesus says, "i will."
- 00:07:15.477 --> 00:07:18.580
- I feel like god is anointing people and right now
- 00:07:18.580 --> 00:07:21.716
- Healing people in different places.
- 00:07:21.716 --> 00:07:23.652
- Listen carefully.
- 00:07:23.652 --> 00:07:24.986
- The blood--whenever you talk about the blood of jesus, amen,
- 00:07:24.986 --> 00:07:29.524
- The holy spirit responds.
- 00:07:29.524 --> 00:07:30.859
- I'm gonna tell you why, okay?
- 00:07:30.859 --> 00:07:33.395
- One bird is killed, the blood of the trespass offering
- 00:07:33.395 --> 00:07:38.800
- Is put on the poor leper on his right thumb.
- 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:43.138
- Now, say, "trespass offering."
- 00:07:43.138 --> 00:07:45.106
- Remember trespass offering means that you get much more
- 00:07:45.106 --> 00:07:49.544
- Than what you have lost.
- 00:07:49.544 --> 00:07:51.713
- Are you listening?
- 00:07:51.713 --> 00:07:53.281
- Trespass offering means if you have been cheated, someone sins
- 00:07:53.281 --> 00:07:56.351
- Against you or whatever, amen, you will get much more than
- 00:07:56.351 --> 00:07:59.688
- Before you lost that item or object or animal
- 00:07:59.688 --> 00:08:02.791
- Or whatever, all right?
- 00:08:02.791 --> 00:08:04.125
- This is in the trespass offering.
- 00:08:04.125 --> 00:08:05.760
- So it's a picture of where sin increase, grace super abounds.
- 00:08:05.760 --> 00:08:09.197
- In the very area of your weakness
- 00:08:09.197 --> 00:08:10.665
- God's grace will triumph.
- 00:08:10.665 --> 00:08:12.534
- So let's say your problem is pornography.
- 00:08:12.534 --> 00:08:14.502
- Amen?
- 00:08:14.502 --> 00:08:15.837
- Well, that the very area that god's grace will triumph.
- 00:08:15.837 --> 00:08:18.239
- If you allow it to, it will triumph in that area.
- 00:08:18.239 --> 00:08:21.042
- Let's say your area is bad-temperedness.
- 00:08:21.042 --> 00:08:23.078
- Well, in the very area of your bad-temperedness,
- 00:08:23.078 --> 00:08:25.747
- People will look at you and say, "what a tender-hearted man.
- 00:08:25.747 --> 00:08:29.050
- What a loving man."
- 00:08:29.050 --> 00:08:30.418
- Amen. amen.
- 00:08:30.418 --> 00:08:31.753
- I'm telling you, church, this is what the gospel--
- 00:08:31.753 --> 00:08:34.689
- The power of the gospel is all about.
- 00:08:34.689 --> 00:08:36.691
- Praise the lord. can i have a good amen?
- 00:08:36.691 --> 00:08:38.493
- So they put the blood of the trespass offering
- 00:08:38.493 --> 00:08:40.562
- On the right thumb of the leper, okay?
- 00:08:40.562 --> 00:08:44.165
- Say, "right thumb."
- 00:08:44.165 --> 00:08:45.667
- This is for the things that you do,
- 00:08:45.667 --> 00:08:47.002
- The things that you touch.
- 00:08:47.002 --> 00:08:48.370
- And then the blood of the trespass offering
- 00:08:48.370 --> 00:08:50.505
- Is put on the right lobe of the ear
- 00:08:50.505 --> 00:08:54.342
- And also on the right toe.
- 00:08:54.342 --> 00:08:56.478
- Okay, that's the thing.
- 00:08:56.478 --> 00:08:57.846
- Right lobe of the ear, which means
- 00:08:57.846 --> 00:09:00.248
- The things you hear will be from now on anointed
- 00:09:00.248 --> 00:09:02.851
- And cleansed, amen, the things that you do
- 00:09:02.851 --> 00:09:05.553
- Will be touched and cleansed.
- 00:09:05.553 --> 00:09:06.921
- So whatever you do prospers.
- 00:09:06.921 --> 00:09:09.157
- Like joseph, whatever he touched,
- 00:09:09.157 --> 00:09:11.026
- The lord made it to prosper.
- 00:09:11.026 --> 00:09:12.560
- And then the right toe, wherever you walk you're a blessing.
- 00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:15.730
- Wherever you walk, amen, it's gonna be blessed
- 00:09:15.730 --> 00:09:18.667
- For you as well.
- 00:09:18.667 --> 00:09:20.001
- Amen. amen?
- 00:09:20.001 --> 00:09:21.336
- God will put you at the right place the right time.
- 00:09:21.336 --> 00:09:22.804
- The blood will take care of you so that the blood
- 00:09:22.804 --> 00:09:24.305
- Will protect you from all evil.
- 00:09:24.305 --> 00:09:25.640
- Praise god.
- 00:09:25.640 --> 00:09:26.975
- So right ear, right thumb, right toe for the feet.
- 00:09:26.975 --> 00:09:31.813
- Now, watch this.
- 00:09:31.813 --> 00:09:33.481
- Before the chapter ends, it says that now put the oil--
- 00:09:33.481 --> 00:09:36.584
- The priest will put the oil on the right lobe
- 00:09:36.584 --> 00:09:38.987
- Where the blood is.
- 00:09:38.987 --> 00:09:40.321
- So the--where the blood is, the oil comes on the blood.
- 00:09:40.321 --> 00:09:42.857
- And then the right thumb, where the blood
- 00:09:42.857 --> 00:09:44.793
- Of the trespass offering was, the oil comes on the blood.
- 00:09:44.793 --> 00:09:47.996
- Amen?
- 00:09:47.996 --> 00:09:49.330
- And then the right toe, the oil comes on the blood.
- 00:09:49.330 --> 00:09:53.201
- What's the oil a representation of?
- 00:09:53.201 --> 00:09:54.602
- The holy spirit, the anointing of god.
- 00:09:54.602 --> 00:09:57.505
- I'm telling you, church, the very--wherever
- 00:09:57.505 --> 00:10:00.175
- The blood touches, the holy spirit answers.
- 00:10:00.175 --> 00:10:03.044
- Amen.
- 00:10:03.044 --> 00:10:04.379
- When the blood is honored, the holy spirit responds, amen.
- 00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:07.482
- The holy spirit is--you don't have to be
- 00:10:07.482 --> 00:10:08.883
- Conscious all the time.
- 00:10:08.883 --> 00:10:10.218
- "the holy spirit is in me. the holy spirit is in me."
- 00:10:10.218 --> 00:10:11.820
- You just have the conscious that you are being cleansed
- 00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:13.221
- By the blood of jesus.
- 00:10:13.221 --> 00:10:14.556
- 1 john 1:7 says that if we walk in the light as he is
- 00:10:14.556 --> 00:10:17.459
- In the light--it's not a matter of how you walk,
- 00:10:17.459 --> 00:10:19.227
- It's a matter of where you walk.
- 00:10:19.227 --> 00:10:20.562
- Once you are saved, you are in the light.
- 00:10:20.562 --> 00:10:21.963
- You are walking in the light.
- 00:10:21.963 --> 00:10:23.298
- And the bible says when you are in the light doesn't mean
- 00:10:23.298 --> 00:10:24.933
- You are perfectly free from sin, but the blood of jesus christ,
- 00:10:24.933 --> 00:10:28.169
- Present tense, continuously cleanses you from every sin.
- 00:10:28.169 --> 00:10:32.006
- Every item, my sin, you are cleansed from it
- 00:10:32.006 --> 00:10:35.643
- And you must live in that consciousness.
- 00:10:35.643 --> 00:10:39.013
- The bible says you are righteous by the blood of jesus.
- 00:10:39.013 --> 00:10:41.816
- So what are you more conscious of today, your sins,
- 00:10:41.816 --> 00:10:44.419
- Your failures thus far, or the blood
- 00:10:44.419 --> 00:10:46.287
- That ever cleanses you?
- 00:10:46.287 --> 00:10:47.822
- Right now you are in a wash cycle.
- 00:10:47.822 --> 00:10:50.024
- The blood keeps you clean.
- 00:10:50.024 --> 00:10:52.560
- The monkey is off your back to try to be forgiven,
- 00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:55.163
- To try to be kept clean.
- 00:10:55.163 --> 00:10:56.531
- It's not your responsibility anymore.
- 00:10:56.531 --> 00:10:58.433
- Your part is to believe that the blood cleanses you
- 00:10:58.433 --> 00:11:01.169
- All the time,
- 00:11:01.169 --> 00:11:02.504
- And the spirit answers through the blood.
- 00:11:02.504 --> 00:11:03.872
- When you are conscious of that, man,
- 00:11:03.872 --> 00:11:05.507
- You are anointed because the spirit comes on you.
- 00:11:05.507 --> 00:11:08.243
- Whenever you're conscious of the blood,
- 00:11:08.243 --> 00:11:09.844
- The spirit comes on you.
- 00:11:09.844 --> 00:11:11.246
- Where the blood is, the spirit comes.
- 00:11:11.246 --> 00:11:15.150
- Now, this leper has become a gainer.
- 00:11:15.150 --> 00:11:17.786
- He has something now that even an average jew
- 00:11:17.786 --> 00:11:20.688
- In ancient israel at that time don't have
- 00:11:20.688 --> 00:11:23.358
- Because only kings are anointed with the oil.
- 00:11:23.358 --> 00:11:26.594
- Only priests are anointed.
- 00:11:26.594 --> 00:11:28.396
- Only three groups, all right?
- 00:11:28.396 --> 00:11:30.431
- Prophet, priest, and king are anointed.
- 00:11:30.431 --> 00:11:35.637
- But now, this lowly, this poor leper
- 00:11:35.637 --> 00:11:42.510
- Who has been cleansed gets the oil.
- 00:11:42.510 --> 00:11:48.049
- He joins the category of the kings, the prophets,
- 00:11:48.049 --> 00:11:50.351
- And the priests.
- 00:11:50.351 --> 00:11:52.353
- What an honor.
- 00:11:52.353 --> 00:11:54.589
- And that tells us that whatever you have lost by sin,
- 00:11:54.589 --> 00:12:00.361
- God's grace will super abound.
- 00:12:00.361 --> 00:12:02.263
- You know, i get criticized for preaching this, amen,
- 00:12:02.263 --> 00:12:04.732
- But it's the bible.
- 00:12:04.732 --> 00:12:06.134
- It's the bible, people.
- 00:12:06.134 --> 00:12:07.702
- Instead of the despairing that you have sinned--
- 00:12:07.702 --> 00:12:09.971
- Okay, you have sinned.
- 00:12:09.971 --> 00:12:11.306
- This is not to encourage you to sin, all right?
- 00:12:11.306 --> 00:12:13.074
- In fact, paul preached like this so strong
- 00:12:13.074 --> 00:12:15.043
- That people say, "paul is saying let us sin more
- 00:12:15.043 --> 00:12:17.745
- That grace may abound."
- 00:12:17.745 --> 00:12:19.080
- But if you look at the verses
- 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.448
- Before paul brought up the question,
- 00:12:20.448 --> 00:12:22.050
- You'll find it says where sin increase, pleonazo in greek--
- 00:12:22.050 --> 00:12:25.854
- Increase means you can count it, all right?
- 00:12:25.854 --> 00:12:28.590
- Grace, huperperisseuo.
- 00:12:28.590 --> 00:12:30.558
- It's not pleonazo, all right?
- 00:12:30.558 --> 00:12:32.227
- It does not say--in your king james you use
- 00:12:32.227 --> 00:12:34.996
- Both words the same, but actually it says
- 00:12:34.996 --> 00:12:36.965
- Where sin abounds grace much more abounds.
- 00:12:36.965 --> 00:12:39.000
- But in the greek, where sin increase grace super abounds,
- 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.872
- Which means you cannot measure it.
- 00:12:43.872 --> 00:12:45.206
- The word huper, hyper, perisseuo, beyond its banks
- 00:12:45.206 --> 00:12:49.277
- And much more on top of that.
- 00:12:49.277 --> 00:12:51.679
- So instead of despairing that you have sinned,
- 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:53.882
- Realize this.
- 00:12:53.882 --> 00:12:55.216
- Now, because of this sin, because the devil tempted you
- 00:12:55.216 --> 00:12:57.819
- Or whatever it is and because of this sin,
- 00:12:57.819 --> 00:13:00.955
- Amen, now there's more abundant grace,
- 00:13:00.955 --> 00:13:05.727
- Super abounding grace in this very area.
- 00:13:05.727 --> 00:13:08.496
- So it wasn't god's will that david had bathsheba
- 00:13:08.496 --> 00:13:12.800
- For his wife, but of all the wives
- 00:13:12.800 --> 00:13:17.572
- That david had, it was through bathsheba--of all the sons
- 00:13:17.572 --> 00:13:22.243
- That he had, it was the son through
- 00:13:22.243 --> 00:13:24.178
- Bathsheba that god raised as king to succeed david.
- 00:13:24.178 --> 00:13:29.150
- Now, that's not to say, all right, commit adultery.
- 00:13:29.150 --> 00:13:33.021
- We're not saying let us sin more that grace may abound,
- 00:13:33.021 --> 00:13:35.023
- But where there is sin already you're not in despair
- 00:13:35.023 --> 00:13:37.358
- Because of the blood, amen.
- 00:13:37.358 --> 00:13:39.460
- In the very area if you respond to god,
- 00:13:39.460 --> 00:13:41.596
- There'll be much more grace.
- 00:13:41.596 --> 00:13:44.232
- Now, your problem is that you fell into this sin,
- 00:13:44.232 --> 00:13:46.034
- That you're saying--the devil will come to you and say,
- 00:13:46.034 --> 00:13:47.535
- "now what can you expect?
- 00:13:47.535 --> 00:13:48.870
- You can expect bad health, all right?
- 00:13:48.870 --> 00:13:51.806
- And you know what's gonna happen?
- 00:13:51.806 --> 00:13:53.207
- Your kids will be in trouble because of your sin just now
- 00:13:53.207 --> 00:13:55.677
- And because of this and that."
- 00:13:55.677 --> 00:13:57.111
- There's a fearful expectation of evil as mentioned
- 00:13:57.111 --> 00:14:01.282
- In hebrews 10.
- 00:14:01.282 --> 00:14:02.617
- There is this fearful expectation of judgment,
- 00:14:02.617 --> 00:14:06.020
- And that's what the devil wants to bring.
- 00:14:06.020 --> 00:14:07.422
- But this preaching of grace where sin increase
- 00:14:07.422 --> 00:14:09.557
- Grace super abounds will set you free from that.
- 00:14:09.557 --> 00:14:12.927
- It will tell you, "because of this sin, all right,
- 00:14:12.927 --> 00:14:15.430
- My children will be doubly blessed, amen.
- 00:14:15.430 --> 00:14:18.466
- My future is doubly bright." amen.
- 00:14:18.466 --> 00:14:23.438
- In the entire old testament we have many promises of god,
- 00:14:23.438 --> 00:14:27.075
- But there is the promise.
- 00:14:27.075 --> 00:14:29.010
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:14:29.010 --> 00:14:30.345
- Say it: "the promise."
- 00:14:30.345 --> 00:14:32.280
- So what is the promise?
- 00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:35.550
- It's one definite promise that is alluded to,
- 00:14:35.550 --> 00:14:42.090
- That is an emphasis that all the prophets talk about
- 00:14:42.090 --> 00:14:47.161
- In the old testament.
- 00:14:47.161 --> 00:14:48.963
- Amen? or at least they allude to it.
- 00:14:48.963 --> 00:14:51.933
- But what is the promise? amen?
- 00:14:51.933 --> 00:14:54.969
- It's the promise that you'll be endued with power
- 00:14:54.969 --> 00:14:57.705
- From on high.
- 00:14:57.705 --> 00:14:59.040
- What is this enduement with power from on high?
- 00:14:59.040 --> 00:15:01.209
- All right, let's look at acts.
- 00:15:01.209 --> 00:15:03.745
- "being assembled together with them--"
- 00:15:03.745 --> 00:15:05.246
- Now, jesus is about to ascend to heaven.
- 00:15:05.246 --> 00:15:08.149
- Jesus commanded them not to depart from jerusalem,
- 00:15:08.149 --> 00:15:10.785
- But to wait for the promise of the father.
- 00:15:10.785 --> 00:15:13.287
- Say, "the promise."
- 00:15:13.287 --> 00:15:15.289
- What is the promise of the father?
- 00:15:15.289 --> 00:15:17.692
- Definite article, one and only promise.
- 00:15:17.692 --> 00:15:19.193
- The promise of the father.
- 00:15:19.193 --> 00:15:20.661
- It's the promise of the father
- 00:15:20.661 --> 00:15:21.996
- That brings all the other promises
- 00:15:21.996 --> 00:15:23.765
- Into fulfillment in your life.
- 00:15:23.765 --> 00:15:25.967
- Amen?
- 00:15:25.967 --> 00:15:27.301
- "the--wait for the promise of the father, which,"
- 00:15:27.301 --> 00:15:29.037
- Jesus said, "you have heard from me."
- 00:15:29.037 --> 00:15:31.272
- Amen?
- 00:15:31.272 --> 00:15:32.607
- "for john truly baptized with water,
- 00:15:32.607 --> 00:15:33.941
- But you shall be baptized
- 00:15:33.941 --> 00:15:35.877
- With the holy spirit not many days from now," amen?
- 00:15:35.877 --> 00:15:39.881
- And so 10 more days after 40 days is the day of pentecost.
- 00:15:39.881 --> 00:15:43.718
- When the day of pentecost was fully come,
- 00:15:43.718 --> 00:15:45.253
- God sent the holy spirit. amen?
- 00:15:45.253 --> 00:15:48.356
- And he says like this, very--give them acts 2,
- 00:15:48.356 --> 00:15:52.093
- The first part.
- 00:15:52.093 --> 00:15:53.428
- "when the day of pentecost had fully come--
- 00:15:53.428 --> 00:15:54.996
- There came a sound--from heaven like a rushing mighty wind--"
- 00:15:54.996 --> 00:15:57.732
- Why does it say when the day of pentecost
- 00:15:57.732 --> 00:15:59.133
- Was fully come?
- 00:15:59.133 --> 00:16:00.468
- Because the first pentecost in the old testament
- 00:16:00.468 --> 00:16:02.470
- Was the giving of the law.
- 00:16:02.470 --> 00:16:04.639
- God gave the law, okay?
- 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.141
- That was the first pentecost and the result
- 00:16:07.141 --> 00:16:09.777
- Was 3,000 people died at the foot of the mountain.
- 00:16:09.777 --> 00:16:15.216
- But when the day of pentecost and a new testament,
- 00:16:15.216 --> 00:16:17.652
- A new covenant had come because jesus has died,
- 00:16:17.652 --> 00:16:20.755
- He has paid for our sins,
- 00:16:20.755 --> 00:16:22.123
- The blood has been shed, now the spirit answers
- 00:16:22.123 --> 00:16:24.292
- Through the blood.
- 00:16:24.292 --> 00:16:25.626
- Are you listening, people?
- 00:16:25.626 --> 00:16:26.961
- When the day of pentecost had fully come, all right,
- 00:16:26.961 --> 00:16:28.963
- The holy spirit came.
- 00:16:28.963 --> 00:16:30.598
- So obviously the day of pentecost
- 00:16:30.598 --> 00:16:32.934
- For the jew even today is only on this side here.
- 00:16:32.934 --> 00:16:35.803
- It's very sad because the law demands but never imparts.
- 00:16:35.803 --> 00:16:40.041
- The law is holy, but it cannot impart holiness.
- 00:16:40.041 --> 00:16:42.510
- The law is righteous, but it cannot give you
- 00:16:42.510 --> 00:16:44.178
- The gift of righteousness.
- 00:16:44.178 --> 00:16:45.513
- The law--but what the law demands, the spirit supplies,
- 00:16:45.513 --> 00:16:48.816
- The spirit imparts, the spirit gives.
- 00:16:48.816 --> 00:16:50.852
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:16:50.852 --> 00:16:52.186
- All right, the law demands righteousness,
- 00:16:52.186 --> 00:16:53.721
- The spirit of god imparts righteousness to you.
- 00:16:53.721 --> 00:16:56.190
- Amen?
- 00:16:56.190 --> 00:16:57.525
- Gives you the gift of righteousness.
- 00:16:57.525 --> 00:16:58.860
- So whatever we need today the holy spirit imparts to us.
- 00:16:58.860 --> 00:17:00.728
- He's not there to demand.
- 00:17:00.728 --> 00:17:02.063
- Whenever you think of the holy spirit as demanding,
- 00:17:02.063 --> 00:17:03.397
- You have put the holy spirit in the place where
- 00:17:03.397 --> 00:17:05.066
- He does not belong.
- 00:17:05.066 --> 00:17:06.501
- He's there to impart. he's there to help.
- 00:17:06.501 --> 00:17:08.803
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:17:08.803 --> 00:17:10.471
- All right, so on the day of pentecost--
- 00:17:10.471 --> 00:17:12.140
- The first pentecost, the law was given, 3,000 died.
- 00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:15.042
- The new covenant pentecost, this day
- 00:17:15.042 --> 00:17:17.645
- When the day of pentecost had fully come,
- 00:17:17.645 --> 00:17:19.580
- The spirit was given and 3,000 people
- 00:17:19.580 --> 00:17:22.316
- Were saved in that day.
- 00:17:22.316 --> 00:17:24.118
- And peter in that sermon--before 3,000 got saved, he preached
- 00:17:24.118 --> 00:17:28.289
- That sermon that got the 3,000 people saved.
- 00:17:28.289 --> 00:17:30.725
- Peter actually said when he stood up, all right,
- 00:17:30.725 --> 00:17:33.227
- Give them acts 2, drop down, "this jesus god has raised up,
- 00:17:33.227 --> 00:17:36.797
- Of which we are all witnesses.
- 00:17:36.797 --> 00:17:38.466
- Therefore being exalted to the right hand of god--"
- 00:17:38.466 --> 00:17:41.135
- He's telling them what happened to jesus after he rose
- 00:17:41.135 --> 00:17:42.970
- From the dead.
- 00:17:42.970 --> 00:17:44.305
- He was just--he just saw jesus go up to heaven 10 days ago
- 00:17:44.305 --> 00:17:46.974
- And now he tells them, "being exalted
- 00:17:46.974 --> 00:17:49.043
- To the right hand of god--" hallelujah.
- 00:17:49.043 --> 00:17:51.345
- The one who was crowned with thorns is now crowned
- 00:17:51.345 --> 00:17:53.614
- With glory and honor.
- 00:17:53.614 --> 00:17:55.183
- Hallelujah.
- 00:17:55.183 --> 00:17:56.551
- Every crown--crown him with many crowns.
- 00:17:56.551 --> 00:17:58.519
- Hallelujah. amen.
- 00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:00.388
- He's worthy of it.
- 00:18:00.388 --> 00:18:01.722
- "and having received from the father the promise
- 00:18:01.722 --> 00:18:03.591
- Of the holy spirit,
- 00:18:03.591 --> 00:18:04.926
- He poured out this which you now see and hear."
- 00:18:04.926 --> 00:18:07.261
- So it's like jesus in heaven saying,
- 00:18:07.261 --> 00:18:08.829
- "hey, now you have the gift of the ho--i paid for it.
- 00:18:08.829 --> 00:18:12.733
- Now you have it."
- 00:18:12.733 --> 00:18:14.068
- And it's a dream of all the jewish people
- 00:18:14.068 --> 00:18:17.138
- In the old testament to have this promise,
- 00:18:17.138 --> 00:18:19.640
- But they cannot have it in the old covenant
- 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:21.809
- Because christ has not yet died, amen?
- 00:18:21.809 --> 00:18:24.278
- But it's like peter is saying here he has received
- 00:18:24.278 --> 00:18:27.281
- From the father this gi-- the promise of the holy spirit.
- 00:18:27.281 --> 00:18:30.117
- Now he is pouring it out, which you now see and hear.
- 00:18:30.117 --> 00:18:33.187
- They are praying in tongues, the bible says.
- 00:18:33.187 --> 00:18:35.156
- And when the holy spirit filled them,
- 00:18:35.156 --> 00:18:36.490
- They were all speaking in tongues
- 00:18:36.490 --> 00:18:37.892
- And it's something that people can see and hear, amen.
- 00:18:37.892 --> 00:18:41.262
- This idea that you are saved and then you are baptized
- 00:18:41.262 --> 00:18:43.965
- In the holy spirit immediately is not scriptural.
- 00:18:43.965 --> 00:18:48.035
- Now, you have the holy spirit once you are saved.
- 00:18:48.035 --> 00:18:50.671
- Don't doubt that.
- 00:18:50.671 --> 00:18:52.006
- You have the holy spirit.
- 00:18:52.006 --> 00:18:53.341
- But it's one thing to have the holy spirit, it's another thing
- 00:18:53.341 --> 00:18:55.276
- For the holy spirit to have you.
- 00:18:55.276 --> 00:18:56.811
- I can drink water.
- 00:18:56.811 --> 00:18:58.145
- Water is now inside me.
- 00:18:58.145 --> 00:18:59.547
- But if i jump into--i dive into the swimming pool,
- 00:18:59.547 --> 00:19:02.650
- I'm now in the water.
- 00:19:02.650 --> 00:19:04.252
- Baptism of the holy spirit is you diving
- 00:19:04.252 --> 00:19:06.754
- Into the pool, amen.
- 00:19:06.754 --> 00:19:08.756
- Once you are saved, you have the water inside you but you--
- 00:19:08.756 --> 00:19:11.626
- You know, baptism of the holy spirit
- 00:19:11.626 --> 00:19:13.194
- Means immersed in the holy spirit.
- 00:19:13.194 --> 00:19:14.595
- Hallelujah?
- 00:19:14.595 --> 00:19:16.163
- So i wanna close with this.
- 00:19:16.163 --> 00:19:18.599
- We touched on this a little bit, but lemme just tell this.
- 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.435
- The life of the holy spirit is a wonderful life.
- 00:19:21.435 --> 00:19:25.506
- Many a times, you know, if you'll pray in the spirit,
- 00:19:25.506 --> 00:19:29.110
- You pray in tongues, amen, you will sensitize your spirit
- 00:19:29.110 --> 00:19:33.748
- To the holy spirit and you will live
- 00:19:33.748 --> 00:19:36.317
- By perceiving instead of reasoning.
- 00:19:36.317 --> 00:19:39.487
- Why people are defeated is because they are reas--
- 00:19:39.487 --> 00:19:41.522
- They reason a lot instead of perceiving.
- 00:19:41.522 --> 00:19:44.492
- God told adam and--adam before eve came, god told adam,
- 00:19:44.492 --> 00:19:47.995
- "of all the trees in the garden you may freely eat."
- 00:19:47.995 --> 00:19:52.199
- Akol to kel in hebrew.
- 00:19:52.199 --> 00:19:54.902
- The word akol akol appears twice.
- 00:19:54.902 --> 00:19:56.537
- Eat, eat.
- 00:19:56.537 --> 00:19:57.872
- That means freely eat.
- 00:19:57.872 --> 00:19:59.507
- Like, even, you know, in english, right,
- 00:19:59.507 --> 00:20:02.043
- We say eat, eat, eat.
- 00:20:02.043 --> 00:20:05.313
- We are very close to the hebrew.
- 00:20:05.313 --> 00:20:06.947
- So literally in the hebrew, freely eat.
- 00:20:06.947 --> 00:20:10.351
- God says freely eat.
- 00:20:10.351 --> 00:20:11.686
- So look at the generosity of god.
- 00:20:11.686 --> 00:20:13.254
- People say, "well, god forbade them the tree."
- 00:20:13.254 --> 00:20:15.222
- Why you--how come you focus on that one?
- 00:20:15.222 --> 00:20:16.757
- You know how many trees there are that god says
- 00:20:16.757 --> 00:20:18.159
- You can freely eat?
- 00:20:18.159 --> 00:20:19.727
- "but to show you honor me and my lordship, to show
- 00:20:19.727 --> 00:20:23.597
- That you acknowledge me as god--"
- 00:20:23.597 --> 00:20:25.099
- That's what the tithe is all about, all right?
- 00:20:25.099 --> 00:20:27.435
- You don't have to tithe, you get to, all right?
- 00:20:27.435 --> 00:20:31.405
- It's for people with revelation.
- 00:20:31.405 --> 00:20:32.807
- So acknowledge don't eat from this tree,
- 00:20:32.807 --> 00:20:36.944
- But it's a tree that god gave,
- 00:20:36.944 --> 00:20:38.546
- God planted, but it's meant to--for men to--
- 00:20:38.546 --> 00:20:42.249
- Always not eat from it
- 00:20:42.249 --> 00:20:43.584
- To show god's ownership, god's--man is a steward.
- 00:20:43.584 --> 00:20:46.487
- Amen? are you listening?
- 00:20:46.487 --> 00:20:48.789
- But if we go deeper, what's the nature of the tree?
- 00:20:48.789 --> 00:20:50.858
- What's the name of the tree called?
- 00:20:50.858 --> 00:20:52.460
- Knowledge of good and evil.
- 00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:55.129
- So what is wrong with the knowledge of good?
- 00:20:55.129 --> 00:20:58.399
- It's as deadly as the knowledge of evil.
- 00:20:58.399 --> 00:21:01.402
- "the day that you eat of it," god told adam--
- 00:21:01.402 --> 00:21:04.472
- Dying in the hebrew--dying, you die slowly.
- 00:21:04.472 --> 00:21:08.075
- You die spiritually and you die slowly.
- 00:21:08.075 --> 00:21:10.544
- Dying you shall die physically one day.
- 00:21:10.544 --> 00:21:13.748
- Dying you shall die in the hebrew.
- 00:21:13.748 --> 00:21:15.516
- In our english, "thou shall surely die."
- 00:21:15.516 --> 00:21:17.351
- So today man is still eating
- 00:21:17.351 --> 00:21:20.821
- From the tree of knowledge and good.
- 00:21:20.821 --> 00:21:22.189
- They ask themself, "is this good and--or evil?"
- 00:21:22.189 --> 00:21:24.258
- That's not the question.
- 00:21:24.258 --> 00:21:25.593
- Is this what the spirit is saying to do?
- 00:21:25.593 --> 00:21:29.663
- Are you listening?
- 00:21:29.663 --> 00:21:31.332
- Mark 2 real quick. all right.
- 00:21:31.332 --> 00:21:34.201
- "when jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic,
- 00:21:34.201 --> 00:21:36.070
- 'son, your sins are forgiven you.'"
- 00:21:36.070 --> 00:21:38.005
- Drop down.
- 00:21:38.005 --> 00:21:39.340
- "and some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning
- 00:21:39.340 --> 00:21:41.442
- In their hearts--" where were they reasoning?
- 00:21:41.442 --> 00:21:43.778
- Reasoning.
- 00:21:43.778 --> 00:21:45.112
- The greek is dialogismos.
- 00:21:45.112 --> 00:21:47.848
- Dialogue, your english word from--logic, dialogismos,
- 00:21:47.848 --> 00:21:54.288
- All right, is the greek word here.
- 00:21:54.288 --> 00:21:56.190
- They are reasoning, reasoning, reasoning.
- 00:21:56.190 --> 00:21:58.526
- When you live by reasoning, you cannot live
- 00:21:58.526 --> 00:22:01.462
- The abundant life.
- 00:22:01.462 --> 00:22:02.963
- We live by the spirit.
- 00:22:02.963 --> 00:22:04.298
- The spirit is faster than the mind.
- 00:22:04.298 --> 00:22:06.867
- You know things before your mind
- 00:22:06.867 --> 00:22:08.302
- Can logic it out.
- 00:22:08.302 --> 00:22:09.637
- In fact, it takes mind sometimes even days before we come
- 00:22:09.637 --> 00:22:13.174
- To the conclusion, but the spirit
- 00:22:13.174 --> 00:22:14.542
- Can get it real fast.
- 00:22:14.542 --> 00:22:16.377
- I'm coming to something very exciting here
- 00:22:16.377 --> 00:22:17.845
- And it's almost time, all right?
- 00:22:17.845 --> 00:22:19.713
- So i think we gotta have a conference.
- 00:22:19.713 --> 00:22:23.083
- Amen? a whole day conference.
- 00:22:23.083 --> 00:22:25.619
- "why does this man--" the pharisees, the scribes says,
- 00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:28.422
- "why does this man speak blasphemous like this?
- 00:22:28.422 --> 00:22:30.825
- Who can forgive sins but god alone?"
- 00:22:30.825 --> 00:22:33.461
- All right, logismos, logic out, okay?
- 00:22:33.461 --> 00:22:36.263
- And they are right.
- 00:22:36.263 --> 00:22:37.665
- Only god can forgive sins, and the man is god.
- 00:22:37.665 --> 00:22:42.503
- "but immediately, when jesus perceived in his spirit
- 00:22:42.503 --> 00:22:45.306
- That they reasoned thus within themselves,
- 00:22:45.306 --> 00:22:49.376
- He said to them,
- 00:22:49.376 --> 00:22:50.711
- 'why do you reason about these things in your heart?'"
- 00:22:50.711 --> 00:22:53.981
- Jesus perceived in his spirit that they reason.
- 00:22:53.981 --> 00:22:57.051
- Jesus said to them, "why do you reason about these things
