Blessings Come When You Believe You Are Righteous By Faith
we call it the grace message do you
believe the grace message there's no
Grace message actually it's the grace is
the gospel God is restoring the gospel
so the moment you start teaching yes
you're saved by grace yes but you also
must keep the law bang you just brought
yourself and the person believing you
under the curse then you wonder why your
your ministry is not resourced why your
church is not supplied why things move
so slowly when I say this by the grace
of the Lord Jesus Christ and only by his
grace God has paid off this building for
this is crazy this is crazy you ask me
how it's done I can only tell you all
right God's grace the very Grace that
people come against is the grace that
will not only supply for a building for
a church it will supply your household
it will supply you it will it will bless
your business your business will have a
amen I'm telling you Church okay please
don't don't misunderstand you know if
you think that I'm sharing at a pride
all right people understand God's grace
give all the glory to God and they know
it's by Grace how can you boast if you
are below you say that I must do this
then God does that no wonder you are
both full no wonder there's an element
of Pride because it involves your doing
so be very careful that what we are
is actually setting you free not free to
do whatever you want a man to indulge in
sin and all that that's that's another
God didn't set you free from one bondage
to another bondage amen God said you're
amen amen uh you know God God made Meant
to Be Free man-made slaves
amen so think about this okay and the
comparison is this look at this look at
the verse before verse 10 it says what
just as Abraham believed God it was
counted to him for righteousness Abraham
lived before the Ten Commandments was
and he was blessed he had no loss to
keep but he was blessed look at verse 8
and the scripture for saying that God
would justify the Gentiles by faith this
Apostle Prince preach strongly about you
are righteous by faith you're not
righteous by your works you are the
righteousness of God as a gift by faith
why because God fought uh the scripture
foresaw that God would justify the
Gentiles the non-jews by faith preach
the gospel to Abraham saying in you all
the nations shall be blessed the subject
matter is righteousness by faith and
blessing the next verse says next verse
so then those who are of Faith but
context here is not healing Faith it's
not Prosperity Faith the way we think it
is the context here is justified by
faith those who believe they are
righteous by faith are blessed with
Abraham lived more than 100 over years
Abraham never was sick amen Abraham was
prosperous the Bible used the word he
was very rich amen God transformed his
wife from someone who next to someone
who is a princess amen and God blessed
him in his old age he was able to sire a
child he was able to bring forth a boy
God renewed his youth because after his
wife passed away he married another
and still produce children
his wife when she was 90 years old God
renewed her youth so much so that she
was able to conceive Isaac
and the Bible says she was so
transformed and renewed in her youth
that even Heathen kings that go by their
eyeballs wanted her for their harem
this is The Blessing of Abraham Christ
redeem us from the curse of the Lord
dropped down to verse 13 and 14 again
okay that The Blessing of Abraham you
have to go around every day saying I
have The Blessing of Abraham I have the
blessing of Abram and don't forget
Abraham lived before the law was given I
have The Blessing of Abraham I have The
Blessing of Abraham and the Devil comes
but you haven't done this you haven't
done that I have The Blessing of Abraham
I have The Blessing of Abraham in my
work I have The Blessing of Abraham in
my body I had The Blessing of Abraham on
my wife I have The Blessing of Abraham
and my children I have The Blessing of
Abraham in my Ministry I have The
no Pastor I say I am blessed by God
let me tell you this okay
all right God has a reason for saying
that the blessing of Abraham doesn't say
that blessing of God might come
God has ordained that through Abraham
and you have God knows our human nature
God knows that we need to see a person
blessed and then we can believe him
you can be very spiritual quote unquote
saying that I I have the blessings of
God yeah you can say that but there's
something about saying I have The
Blessing of Abraham that makes you
believe and releases your faith
because God uses humans to
you understand amen they can study
Abraham in a microcosm way and and and
and see things that I've not even shared
with you about the blessing of Abraham
and for every believer every Grace
believer ought to study the life of
and make Abraham your example not David
we are not sons of David we are sons of
Abraham we're not sons of Isaiah we are
sons of Abraham even though we can study
amen you're gonna say God punished David
Pastor Prince yeah but Dave is not my
Abraham is Abraham light and there was
but after he lied he came out of Egypt
and he was wealthy the Bible says not
because he lied but notice God did not
punish him God allow his goodness to
lead him to repentance and Abraham
walked with God in such a way that the
Bible says Abraham is a friend of God
now I'm going to show you the two
mountains and let's look at Deuteronomy
27 it stays here and Moses with the
Elders of Israel commanded the people
saying keep all the Commandments we
recommend you this day when this is back
to the law when the law was given okay
uh not when the law was given on the
okay I tell what let me show you first
okay when the law was given on the same
day at Mount Sinai what did God say you
know what God said at the end of Ten
Commandments you all know the Ten
okay this is bad let me try again
you all know the Ten Commandments right
by the way I I I I say this all the time
you know everywhere I go people fight
for the Ten Commandments you ask them
what is the third commandment they don't
amen I thought that if you're such a
stickler for the Ten Commandments at
least must stop by meditating on
internet memorize it first but God never
gives a Grace for them to memorize God
never gives us Grace to memorize but God
gives Grace to little children in Sunday
school and they memorize John 3 16 for
God so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten son even my son can quote
that verse amen but I'm telling you
there's no Grace to quote the Ten
and those who believe in keeping the Ten
Commandments when they write songs they
never write songs based on the law
you have to preach the truth
amen and and we're not producing a
people like I said just now people who
are licentious people who are delivered
from one bondage to another form of
bondage no we're not preaching that kind
of a message we're appreciate people who
love Jesus who turn up you know
heretical they turn up on Wednesday
on the day God gave the Ten Commandments
Exodus 20. Exodus 20 is the first time
that chapter tells us the Ten
Commandments completely God spoke and
this is what God Said and right at the
end of that chapter people you ask
people what's at the end of The Ten
Commandments this is what God Said and
offer herb you shall make for me and you
shall sacrifice on it your burnt
offerings and your peace offerings your
sheep and oxen straight away after God
talked about the Ten Commandments before
chapter ends in chapter 20. God for the
people about an altar of burnt offerings
why God knew that they cannot keep it
straight God talk about the cross
because these are a picture of the cross
the place where the burnt offering would
be God knew that men cannot keep it
why then talk about the altar
of burnt offering and God says in every
place where I record my name I will come
to you and I will bless you God didn't
say all right about ten commandments
such God says off the altar wherever
there's an altar burn offering wherever
there's a cross wherever you put your
trust in the cross amen and what Christ
has done as your basis for healing as
your basis for Providence all right
abundance as a basis for family
well-being if that is your basis I will
come and I will bless you
this is the last two verses of the
entire chapter 20. if you make me an
author of Stone you shall not build it
of Hyun Stone notice God doesn't want
human effort it must be stone that you
find in the ground take that stone and
build it don't cut the stone when you
an altar of whole stones okay you have
profanity don't use tool on it you have
profanity nor shall you go up by steps
to my altar that your nakedness may not
be exposed on it have you noticed all
the pictures of the burn offering altar
is higher right even in the Tabernacle
or the Temple of Solomon you'll find
it's a ramp it's not like this
because death can expose your nakedness
but it's a ram you go up on a ramp so
the the key to the blessings of God is
all right it's a way of rest
do you know going up by steps is harder
in fact you can lean forward and even go
amen so God says it doesn't want your
nakedness to appear God says I don't
want human effort on this altar it must
can I be good amen now we go to the
Mount garazim and mount ebo this after
they cross the River Jordan Joshua is
leading them Moses had died 40 Years of
wandering in the wilderness they have
now entered the promised land the land
flowing with milk and honey the land
where God says I will build I'll give
you houses not built I will I will give
you houses you did not build I will let
you drink from wealth you did not dig
and you will eat from Vineyards Olive
plants that you did not plant God says
in other words it's a Finnish work
you're entering into a finished work and
one of the first things God told Joshua
is that go to mount garazim and mount
ebal okay and one of the mountains you
put my curse on it and the other
Mountain you'll put my blessing on it
okay what is all this about let's look
at uh Deuteronomy 27. we saw this drop
down verse two okay it shall be on the
day when you shall pass over Jordan unto
the land which the Lord that God gives
you uh gives the thou shall set thee up
great stones and plaster them with
great Storms remember and hewn Stones
find big stones and pile them up and
and this author will be on Mount ebal
I'll let you know right now it's a place
called mount ebal and the blessing will
be on but the mountain of blessing
opposite of Mount Ebel is called mount
garazim on that mountain there is no
why is there no altar on the mountain of
blessing Mount garazim because Christ
did not redeem us from the blessings of
the law the blessings of the Lord keep
on keeping on Christ redeem us from the
curse of the law and that's why there is
an altar on the mountain of Kiss mount
look up here you whenever someone come
to you and say well you know what the
blessings that you read about the
blessings of bless coming in bless going
out blessing the fruit of your body
blessed when your enemies come against
you one way they flee before you seven
ways and bless you know that you set
your hand to God will bless your
Storehouse you will land and not borrow
you shall be the head and not the tail
all these things only for Israel under
the law but friend there is no altar
that redeem us from the blessings on the
mountain of blessing only on the
mountain of curse okay okay Mount IBA
how many would like to go there one day
now I got good news to tell you
okay good news if you're courageous
if God gives you a favor you can go
because it's a place where the Army will
not allow you anyhow to go
all right guess what they have
discovered Joshua's altar
since 1980 there is a uh the head of the
Department of archeology Professor Adam
zotel a Jewish man who is actually an
ATS doesn't believe in the Bible doesn't
believe in God and he is the professor
and the head of the Department of
archeology for the University of Haifa
many of them they don't believe they are
modern the concept modern they were they
were trained to believe that there's no
such thing as Joshua and and Solomon and
David and all that until one day uh
right after the Six Day War he says in
1980 uh uh he did some studies and all
that and he went all the way uh in 1980
he discovered this but he he went to
mount ebal area to do some surveying all
right as an archaeologist he doesn't
believe that there's a Joshua's altar
because he doesn't believe in Joshua and
all of a sudden he found this structure
that looks like an altar okay he
believed it's a farmhouse okay but he
strange for a farmhouse not to have
doors and windows then maybe he thought
there is a watchtower a missed pair in
Hebrew a Watchtower but watch towers are
not built on the side of the mountain
where the view is great far and near so
he began to excavate he said maybe
you know in your Jewish style right you
you know it's George was also I
if you know how the Jewish people talk
that's how they they like to say and
they start digging in the Altar and they
and when they studied the ashes okay
they found out that it's ashes not of
wild animals but of domesticated animals
and then they found a Scarab two scarabs
they found uh Scarab is like a symbol
okay and and from Egypt and the Scarab
of pharaohs sorry Pharaoh Ramses II
Ramses the second is the Ramses of The
and they found it in the land of Israel
all of a sudden everything that he
believes in starts crumbling he says is
this Joshua's altar then there are two
okay and today he's a believer
this shook the archaeological world to
its foundations so for years but it is
on an area that's that is dangerous
politically dangerous you know it's an
people have been shot at and all that
but in my heart ever since I discovered
this in the night in the 90s
I've been preaching this in the 90s
about mangiorism and all that when I
discovered that that uh this author was
was discovered I wanted so much to go
and I prayed and asked God so I told you
it's not a place that you recommend
people to go but but lo and behold after
2012 maybe 2012 is my first time that I
preached for TBN in Israel maybe because
we brought a lot of people from America
and all over the world to come maybe the
the government gave me a chance to write
the Israeli government and they I asked
for a request my first request to to go
to the to the altar of Joshua was
okay so I praise God for that so I got
my Band of Brothers you know my banner
Brothers amen my right hand man is
that shows how much I trust God to make
him my right hand man means I I put no
confidence in the flesh amen if I put
confidence in the flesh I'll put
guy has muscles and all that but bust
Amen in fact I can explain things to him
it's more tiring but my trust is in the
Lord so I went in my banner brothers and
uh we're gonna show you a frame by frame
okay don't forget great stones and
plaster them your plaster keep in mind
if it's an altar of Joshua for some
reason all of Adam zatel's uh uh sharing
they didn't talk about the plaster
okay I'm on top of the plaster here and
what you do with the plaster why put a
plaster on the on the stones the stone
is unhealed stones and put plaster on it
and on the plaster what you do you shall
write upon them all the words of this
law this plaster is the gypsum you know
the gypsum board like gypsum uh plaster
okay when it when it hardens it's really
quite hard but of course today the
plaster is all gone because of the
weather and all that it didn't stand the
test of time because it's only plus
all right the plaster is outward that
goes to show it was written on something
that cannot remain God purposely did
amen so plaster them a plastic and on
the plaster when it's too wet right upon
them all the words of this law when you
are passed over that you may go into the
language the Lord your God gives you a
land that flows with milk and honey as
the Lord God of your fathers has
promised you so the first picture of the
altar is something designed by Patrick
and Hendra our church guys only a few
days ago and uh this is a picture all
right made of whole Stones can you see
is based on what we saw when we were
there they were I mean Patrick was with
me with about the brothers and all that
and he remembered that there are two
ramps that goes up there all right one
REM no steps remember if it's if it's a
altar of God God instructed back in
Sinai when he gave the Ten Commandments
must have no steps it's a ram so one ram
I believe is for the priest to bring the
animal sacrifice up there and the other
is for the other priest to come down
okay you bring down the ashes or
okay now this is designed based on what
okay let's go to the first picture we're
about to start off okay look at the
picture of the map of Israel can you see
um where Bethlehem and Jerusalem is the
pink pot Benjamin look below you'll see
so most of you know where Jerusalem is
okay just to give you a sense of bearing
and topography so that you are able to
draw a straight line up when your travel
to Galilee all right your travel North
do you know that your travel North when
you go north you're actually technically
speaking right back in Jesus time you
were passed by yarazim and mount ebal
but because the road takes the main
Highway you are far from this mountain
you don't get to see it maybe you can
try to do it in such a way that we can
for those who have been there one time
two times maybe the third time
okay you're not so excited never mind
don't worry you won't it won't happen to
you don't worry okay how many want to go
okay after I show you you want to go
okay all right look at the where Mount
Ebel can you see Mount Ebel and mount
they are facing each other yarazim is
the mountain of blessing Ebola is the
mountain of the curse okay by the way
shechem is in between the city of shakam
what what is city of Chicago famous for
the story of Joseph it started from
there with his parents Jacob
all right and uh uh Jacob's family it
was from there by the way after he died
he gave before he died he gave
instructions that his bones might be
so that even today you see George
amen not only that who went to shechem
Jesus he met the woman at the well the
well is still there so shechem is the
place of the the well and the Bible says
Jesus must need to go to Samaria
do you know that that uh the Jewish
people okay it's not a message I
wouldn't touch on Jacob's well anyway uh
I got a whole message on that let's go
to a picture from the site View
all right of Mount jerism on the left
mount ebal on the right today is modern
day Nablus which is shakhem Nablus they
call it not Blues okay Blues on
television and all that in the news this
but Israelis don't live there anymore
this is the area of the Palestinians and
all that on the right is non-eball on
the left is Mount garazim
with security of course the soldiers
have to bring us in that's why they
can't promise they can just bring you in

moment to wait for the final go ahead

Jeep so let's pass the mark and that's
our our coach behind we have to go with

okay you can see I will help you okay
all right this is the parameters can you
see Joshua's author in this in the
center there right on top can you see it
change to the ramp the two ramp
all right now go back to the our picture

took these pictures the moment I saw it
I started running do you remember that I
started running we all started running

Lawrence was running I don't remember I
anyway we I was so excited I started
running all the way down to the altar
okay next picture please yeah this meat
on top of the altar there's Pastor Mark
okay and uh he always looked like he's
dancing okay but uh that's the altar
and I want to tell you something else
because I know what I'm looking for
I look in between the crevices of the
whole Stone it's all whole Stones by the
way complete Stone and human stones and
when I look in the Twin guess what I saw
I was so excited I caught all the
pastors together and we have a video of
that but it's very noisy video so I'm
gonna show you the picture I saw this
a small place what is that
what is that on the stone plaster very
good that's the plaster that the Bible
talks about is now hardened of course
most of the plaster is all gone
