5:46

always at work in US be careful what you say be careful what you think because

5:52

God will exceedingly abundantly answer above all you ask for fa now we think we

5:58

understand so what I've done is that I've broken it down to Seven Levels because God works on seven the first one

6:05

in the Apex we see can you all see this not to him who is able to do now that's

6:12

good enough to say to someone in need God is able to do you will say Amen but

6:18

that's not all that's not enough the next level says now to him who is able

6:23

to do that we ask so we ask is there careful what you ask God will do

6:31

it but again that's not what the Bible says just now we read the next level the

6:36

third level says not to him who is able to do what we ask or

6:42

think wow have you ever fantasized about a nice house have you gone to some

6:47

magazines in a home and Deco or whatever and you wish that you have a house like that be careful what you think when the power is working because God will answer

6:54

all that you ask or think no no wait wait wait many of us

7:00

don't ask much so even God answer you don't know because you don't ask much many of us think nothing so you know God

7:06

answer so you don't know once you this verse comes to life

7:12

you'll be asking and asking and asking and thinking and thinking and thinking and asking and asking and thinking because God has to exceed

7:20

that amen so here if we if I tell you God is able to do what we ask or think

7:27

uh when the Lord you know gave us that word it it is meant for our church you know the Lord the Lord uh has a word for

20:23

the local church just like Jesus you know I believe in the local church because the believes in the local church

20:29

you know we talk about the church as a universal church you know some people say well I I got no church I say what do you mean I belong to the universal

20:36

church so when you die does your Universal Pastor bury you and when your daughter gets married

20:42

does the universal Pastor marry them you know no it's not practical even Jesus spoke seven seven separate messages to

20:51

seven local churches in the Book of Revelation right so the specific word

20:56

for us this year besides possessing our possessions there is also a practical side of things for those who are not

21:03

exercising if you are running every day and all that I'm not saying you go to walking all right the Lord is not saying

21:09

that either but for those who are not exercising the Lord says just do extended walks amen at least twice a

21:16

week and he even includes walking in the

21:21

mall okay and please don't get legalistic you know the the human flesh

21:27

has the the proclivity towards uh taking What God Says and making it legalistic

21:33

all right don't don't make it legalistic all right don't don't carry a pedometer and you know say that oh it's not 10,000

21:38

steps yet you know and don't do all that that that is the wisdom of the world the word of God is that if you feel that you

21:44

made some extended walk today amen you went to and fro somewhere that's your extended walk for the day all right at

21:50

least twice a week you know what I'm saying take what God is saying in the spirit of love he loves you amen my wife

21:57

has a friend in our church uh she's she's a very cute lady you know and she

22:02

she said oh I'm not given to walking you know she told my wife I I I don't like to walk and all that now

22:08

how then she she she said does walking on the spot count or not then her daughter who's also a

22:15

friend of Jessica she said well Mom you can walk on the spot but you still stay in

22:22

Egypt that's very witty of her well remember don't make it legalistic okay

22:28

uh you know it's something that you you get to enjoy it doesn't mean it's got to be a walk uh down a park or something

22:34

like as long you have walking like your you live on the 10th floor uh from now on you know uh twice a week you take the

22:41

leave off at the sixth and you go up fourth floor something like that is your extended walk okay follow the spirit and

22:47

not the the legality of the ladder okay don't turn something that God is meant

22:52

uh meaning for people who are not exercising and those who say I love running Pastor must I go to walking keep on running amen if you

22:59

you're happy about running run amen you I like flying Pastor fly amen praise the

23:05

Lord turn to your neighbor smart your neighbor at least two or three person and say I'm just too blessed to be stressed how about you just too blessed

23:12

to be stressed today the message that I I I think I would I would put this message

23:19

today as one of the most important message that I would preach all right because one of the one of the most

23:25

important message because this message is a m message that keeps on giving in the days to come it's going to help you

23:31

in your married life it's going to help you in your parenting it's going to help you in your health it's going to help you in your business it's going to help

23:37

you in your finances it's going to help you uh in terms of uh uh freedom and peace from stress from distresses and uh

23:45

from all kind of thing that depress us amen God's going to empower and Le and

23:51

Enlighten you in this message he's going to help you he's going to build you and it's one of the more important messages

23:57

that I I believe you can never hear okay it's very simple it's very simple from the Lord in fact the cue from this

24:04

message is last Sunday I ended up my sermon talking about Solomon and

24:11

Solomon's request for wisdom remember that and of all the things that I talk about Solomon I could actually break

24:16

down his wealth which I've done before in my studies I could have talked about uh The Book of Proverbs I could talk

24:22

about other a lot of aspects about wisdom of Solomon how he exceled the wisdom of uh uh Ethan hon and jetuan the

24:31

sons of Mahal and all that I could actually approach in many areas but the very thing that I talk about Solomon was

24:36

that he asked God for a hearing heart okay little did I know that God will continue speaking to me throughout this

24:42

entire past week all right this entire past week about a vital thing that we

24:49

need to be involved in that he wants us to get back for many of you for some of

24:54

you get on it for some of you you have been robbed without knowing KN that you have been robbed and we will not allow

25:00

you to continue being robbed and I thank God that you are here today praise God

25:05

it's a it's a message that you know the Lord weighed on my heart and I was very careful to say this and I say this

25:11

deliberately it's a message that can mean between life or death for some people all right because this is really

25:18

um how men Jesus said ought to live man does not live by bread alone or rice

25:25

alone okay but by every word that proceeded from the mouth of God now last week I ended up with this about Solomon

25:33

let's look at the story again and from there we'll take off God appeared to Solomon in a dream at night in a place called Gideon now I've seen that place

25:40

not too far from where uh the tomb of Samuel the prophet is in fact I was

25:46

there uh one of the last times I was in Israel and I look across and you can see the other Mount gibian where Solomon was

25:52

and the Bible says that that whole place is the place where the Tabernacle of Moses was except

25:58

the presence of God reflected in the Ark of the Covenant wasn't there it was back in Jerusalem yet Solomon went there and

26:04

worshiped God and that night he offered God that day he offered God a thousand burnt offerings that same night the same

26:13

night of his generosity God appeared to him in a dream and God said to him now at this time he was about 17 to 17 to 20

26:19

years old and his father has died and God says ask what I shall give you so

26:25

let's follow the story he says that God your People Israel is so great I'm like a child I don't even know how to come in

26:32

how to go out of a place and he says this your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen a great

26:39

people too numerous to be numbered or counted therefore give to your servant

26:44

and understanding heart to judge your people that I may discern between good and evil for who is

26:52

able to judge these great people of yours and this word an understanding heart literally in the Hebrew is a

27:00

hearing heart is a hearing heart a heart that listens a hearing heart very

27:07

interesting prayer I wonder what prompted Solomon to ask above everything

27:13

else he didn't ask to win in a lottery he didn't ask for health he didn't ask for riches he asked God for a hearing

27:20

heart and the Bible says look at God's response and remember this if you want to please the Lord the the the Bible

27:26

says whatever pleases the Lord back then pleases the Lord today amen he's the same yesterday today and

27:32

forever and the Bible says the speech pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked

27:38

this thing then God said to him because you have asked this thing what was the thing he asked what the this thing he

27:43

asked a hearing heart because you have asked this and have not asked long life for yourself nor have asked riches for

27:50

yourself nor have asked the life of your enemies God says but you have asked for yourself understanding to discern

27:57

Justice behold I have done according to your word see I have given you a wise and

28:03

understanding heart so that there has not been anyone like you before you nor shall any like you arise after you and

28:12

I've also given you what you have not asked when you ask God for a hearing heart God will give you

28:19

bonus blessings and benefits God will give you what you you you didn't ask and I'll give you also what you have not

28:25

asked both riches and honor so that there shall not be anyone like you among

28:32

the Kings all your days recently I was looking at a website where uh they did a study I forgot

28:39

what's the name now it's a study on on all the wealthy people of times past including Alexander the Great you know

28:46

uh uh the kings of Babylon and and many other famous Kings nebuchad and all that

28:52

and and uh all of them they they factor in the inflation rate of 7% around there

29:00

and compared to the what they are worth today in today's money and all of them 400 billion another one one rich one

29:08

rich rich guy was about 400 billion but when it came to Solomon there is a question mark they put on there

29:15

trillions question mark all right now we know we know and it's a secular website

29:20

by the way it's not a Christian website it's a secular website but the thing is that we know from God what God Said there shall not be anyone like you among

29:27

the Kings When God says I'll give you what you have not asked both riches and honor not like any other king that would

29:33

ever lived so we know that he was the first trillion air in the Bible the Bible says that he made gold so

29:40

commonplace that that like the stones all right like stones gold was like

29:46

stones and silver was not accounted of in fact all his cups there were no vessels of silver all vessels of gold

29:53

and uh um studies show that he built he built the the Temple of Solomon that

29:58

Temple is worth about in today's money is about $500 billion

30:03

US now the money that came to him just the the money that sorry not the money

30:09

the goal that came to him per year not to mention the taxes not to mention the other nations giving to him the tribute

30:14

money and all that just the gold that came to him every year amounted to for 40 years of his Reign amounted to about

30:21

slightly over 100 billion us so uh with all the properties had with all the

30:28

horses and all the investment he did he was one of those first kings that did trading he sold horses from Egypt to

30:34

other nations like the heat ties and all that and all this will come to trillion probably the first trillionaire so we

30:40

know that he's wise but we are not after him to learn how to become a trillionaire okay but it will prosper

30:46

you in your business it's going to help you in your studies it's going to help you in your parenting it's going to bless you in your married life is going

30:52

to help you in your body in your health as well amen are you listening people but the thing is that you need to ask

30:58

God the simple prayer a simple prayer give me a hearing heart so the very first thing that happened to him when he

31:03

woke up he woke up and he realized it a dream but that dream was a visitation from God the Bible says straight where

31:09

he left Gian that place I told you about that has the outward form but not the presence and he went to Jerusalem and

31:16

went before the Ark of the Covenant where his father David had brought the ark and he worshiped the Lord before that one of the first signs that someone

31:23

has received wisdom is that they go to the house of God they love the presence of God they love to be in the house of

31:29

God that's what you all are doing today the fact that you of all singaporeans amen and you of all Americans are in the

31:36

church today and you attending God's house shows that you know and you relish

31:41

uh the presence of God and you know that there's a corporate anointing when you come together I mean the Lord never

31:46

leaves you nor forsake you when you come together with God's people there's a corporate anointing amen Jerusalem was

31:52

the place of the corporate anointing and more so for the place where the ark was so friend after he received wisdom the

31:58

first thing was that he sought the Ark of the Covenant he relished he saved he

32:04

treasured the presence of the Lord amen you know David when he sinned in

32:09

adultery and murder one of the first things he prayed in his prayer written for us in Psalms 51 he said God take not

32:16

your presence from me don't take your presence and don't take your Holy Spirit from me of all the

32:22

things he could say don't take your my riches away don't don't take the victory I have over the the the surrounding

32:27

Nations that are out to destroy me of all the things he said he says Don't Take Your Presence away from me amen now

32:32

the Lord has promised us in the New Covenant he will never leave us nor forsake us but there is something about someone or a man or a woman when they

32:39

walk into a room they walk into a boutique they walk into a mall they walk into a restaurant and and and no one is

32:45

there but after they are there people start coming in and and they they are a blessing everywhere they go amen there

32:51

are a blessing everywhere they go turn to your neighbor's mind he's talking about me again I don't know why he's talking about me again amen and and and

32:57

that is what uh wisdom does wisdom wisdom all of a sudden you you see the economy some things that are worth a lot

33:03

to you last time like a balancing scale now you realize ah these things are really froy and light you know and uh

33:10

all of a sudden you find you find these things are all light and froy and the things of God are weighty amen and and

33:16

and people without wisdom they they treasure this thing over here and look at the people of the world they don't they don't understand why on Sundays we

33:22

go to church why we we want to hear God's word and all that but the thing I'm trying to emphasize to you what God

33:28

said to me and towards the end of the sermon last week was a hearing heart of all the things I talk about Solomon was a hearing heart and there are those who

33:36

teach on Solomon and talk about wisdom without even mentioning the hearing heart because it's in the Hebrew the hearing heart shame or Shema listen a

33:44

hearing heart one of the first tests in the same chapter uh besides going to the

33:49

presence of God one of the first things that happened was that two prostitutes came to King Solomon and they all

33:55

claimed that that the baby was death you you all know the story right you know um one baby died another baby was alive and

34:02

each one claimed to be the mother of the baby so uh uh we won't go into the story because many of you know the story even

34:08

in Chinese fables and all that they have the story it's based on facts it's based on the uh infallible scripture the story

34:13

of Solomon but what happened was this what I saw was this they were both prostitutes but the king listen to

34:22

them when you have a hearing heart of course the voice you want to hear is God's voice but in hearing God's voice many of times

34:29

you're listening to people as well you know guys will pay maybe more

34:35

than $100 maybe even a few hundreds to attend an important seminar of a a very noted speaker to hear the things that he

34:43

says that his wife would say to him for free and he'll come back and tell his

34:49

wife you know this and this and that and this and that and she will say that's what I've been telling you have you experienced that before

34:56

guys but because we pay for it it's more valuable amen so we we need to hear the voice of God in our spouse we need to

35:03

hear the voice of God in our leaders amen and that's why there's safety in the local church because a lot of people

35:09

when they talk about hearing God's voice they go get they get some of get flaky and they start hearing voices they start

35:14

you know following signs and all that but if you're in the local church there is safety especially major decisions

35:20

amen your friend will be able to see that the guy is a player that you are not able to see it amen and you need to

35:27

trust the spirit of God in your friends as well friends who love you amen family

35:34

members that care for you you need to hear your leaders that God has given the anointing to provide the oversight God

35:41

Will Supply with the anointing also the discernment to help you just as God supplied wisdom and discernment to

35:47

Solomon to rule and judge the people well can I have a good amen amen so

35:54

there's safety there now um when you here the the the thing about Solomon is this this is chapter three if you look

36:00

at chapter four we won't be looking into it but chapter four is just a list of administrative uh roles and

36:05

responsibilities this guy is a recorder this group of guys were scribes and if

36:11

you look at the word scribes and recorder you'll find that a scribe is

36:16

someone who who writes down for the king's benefit uh events major events

36:22

things that the king need to know two years from now three years from now five years from now and a recorder what's a

36:27

recorder zakar in the Hebrew zakar means to remember like Zacharia Zachariah all

36:33

right to uh uh to be remembered by the Lord zakar is a recorder to remind the king now this King he he has received

36:40

wisdom many of us we only use one t the I mean the experts say we only use one1

36:45

I probably use only one1 of one1 all right don't laugh the fact you laugh you're using okay I'm sorry I'm

36:52

just teasing you okay but but listen and and and I believe that the one1 one1 you

36:57

have nine1 left and the gifts of the Holy Spirit you know how many gifts are mentioned the gifts of the holy spirit

37:03

nine to supply what we are lacking oh that was good okay anyway 910

37:09

so we are using 110 these are not Christian experts these are experts in secular world that study mind and and the brain and all that they said that we

37:16

only using 110 well remember this that Adam the first Adam uh he was able to name all the species of the animals name

37:22

all the species of the animals of every kind which means from the inside

37:27

from the little uh uh micro to the very large uh mammoths and uh and dinosaurs

37:34

and whales and all the varieties of elephants and the varieties of of the cat uh uh uh cat Kingdom and all the

37:42

varieties of the uh different ranges and the varied ranges of animal life and all that and he was able to name them one by

37:48

one and then the next few days he can come back and name one of them by memory

37:53

that tells us that his memory was amazing today today we wake up in the morning and our family members all that

37:59

we say hi hi hi hi sry hi you are yeah I'm your son okay yeah yeah you are my you Justin that's right amen we move

38:07

around our colleagues and we sometimes we look at the face we see the face we know the face we know the name is at the tip of our tongue but we forget amen so

38:14

uh Solomon's wisdom was such that he excelled Even Adam and Adam one was

38:20

brilliant but the Bible says always remember this when you read about Solomon Jesus says Behold a greater than

38:27

Solomon is here amen Jesus said to us look at the Lees of the

38:32

field they toil not neither do they spin they don't work they don't spin like the

38:39

ladies making dresses they spin they toil not like the men working

38:44

in the farm working in the fields they toil not look at this lies

38:50

of the field which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven in those days they

38:56

have a cooking oven to bake their bread and they use this this so-called lies to

39:01

burn to start the fire going so Jesus says look at the lies of the field God clothed them and today they are here and

39:08

they are in the oven tomorrow if God so clothe the grass of the

39:13

field in that manner how much more will he clothe you oh you of little faith so

39:21

look at the birds of the air they sow not neither do they reap yet your heavenly father fits them are you not

39:28

much better than they and Jesus says look at the lies of the field how God closed them I tell you Jesus says even

39:34

Solomon in all his glory was not array like one of this why trillionaire or not

39:41

his wealth came from outside but look at the Lily the simple Lily his wealth comes from inside his growth is real

39:48

whereas Solomon one is added on take away everything man is just

39:54

nothing a man except for God so Jesus you know Jesus says don't

40:01

worry what he's saying that God will clothe you God will take care of you the day that I see the lies of the field

40:08

without any wind it's a still day there's no wind blowing and I see them trembling I see them spinning I see them

40:15

toiling and they are full of care and they are worried that they will not be clothed well that's the day I start

40:23

worrying the day I see the birds flying around and they're not mov making melodic melodic music and they are

40:28

worried and they are choing and they're falling down to the ground and look at them they are stressed and they are full of care and they are worried about

40:35

what's happening to the world that's the day I worry until then they are not aware they

40:40

don't follow the news that's a problem with these birds they don't follow the news they

40:47

are they are not social media savy they're not easily

40:55

distracted I don't like it they are so full of joy singing all the time

41:01

irritating you okay I'm getting a hit of myself there's another sermon already I'm preaching my letg go sermon praise

41:07

God all right so God gave him riches and honor that he never asked but the thing is that he has a hearing

41:14

heart right after IE finished preaching and I finished on the hearing heart last

41:19

week youall still remember this past week God been showing me that this is the word of the hour God is showing me

41:26

for those who know the importance of hearing and hearing and hearing the word there used to be a time that our church

41:31

people would go around with something coming out of their ears looking important like a security for the VIP

41:38

and they walk around and and they have this thing hanging out and and you can see them in in the mall and all that and they have they're always hearing I saw a

41:45

lady one time and my wife and I we were driving we stopped at the traffic light and she passed by us and she wavered us

41:50

and she produced my SE my CD in my cover our people they're hearing all the

41:57

time do you remember a lady called Mavis she was on the solid our Solid Rock magazine on the front page number of

42:02

years ago she was on the ECP or a I forgot what it was and and she was hit from the back her car turtled remember

42:10

that and when the car turtled over it spun you know got long story short she

42:15

both she and her son came out okay and they were totally unscratch UNSC demon

42:22

go to the hospital the car that hit them went on to hit other cars and there were other people who were inj who went to the hospital people came to to to see

42:28

what how they can help and all that and one lady who came over who helped her you know get out of the car and all that

42:35

that that lady uh who was there on the scene got her number and all that a few days later by the way just let you know

42:40

that when the car was spinning and the car stopped and the people came over she said that my sermon in her disc was

42:45

still playing the disc player was still playing and then the lady who who was

42:50

one of those who helped besides the guys who came to help she called her the next few days and says uh and I just want to

42:55

let you know this actually I I was going through a tough time with my husband in my in our marriage in our relationship

43:00

and all that but when I helped you that day I heard this voice in your car and the those things

43:08

that he said ministered to me all right so one day we'll share M's

43:14

story meanwhile those of you who have the the the whole thing just read all I know is that when you're hearing the word it seems like the devil can't even

43:21

kill you you know we we talk about but pastor we we we heard the word the problem with

43:27

our church is that you have me here physically all right so you think that Pastor Prince preached a sermon all

43:33

right on Sunday we have heard it but Faith don't come by having heard it faith comes by hearing Romans 10:17 so

43:42

then Faith Comes you see I want to have the same faith that Joshua had that calb had that says give me this mountain at

43:48

the age of 85 that man was still full of Faith amen God says of Caleb he has a

43:54

different spirit amen faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God

43:59

or the word of Christ how does faith come by hearing and hearing the fact is repeated means it's hearing and hearing

44:06

and hearing and hearing and hearing ing continuous tense it's not Faith doesn't

44:11

come by having heard any more than those of you who ate chicken rice last month I

44:16

guarantee you you'll be eating chicken rice soon you cannot just leave on the memory of what you ate you can't just leave on

44:22

the memory of I know what chicken rice tastes like no all right enjoyment comes

44:28

by eating and eating and eating so faith comes by food strength for your faith

44:35

comes by hearing and hearing not by having heard in fact in Hebrews 4 the

44:40

Bible talks about people who cannot enter the land in Hebrews chapter 4 and it tells us we we touched on this a few

44:45

weeks ago it says that the message preach was not being mixed with faith in

44:53

them that Hur it hurt is what past STS all of them heard the good news that God

44:59

is bringing them to a land where they were drink from Wells they did not dig eat from Vineyards they didn't plant live in houses they didn't build or

45:06

filled and yet not all of them entered they heard the same message so there are

45:12

people who haven heard but and there are those who are hearing many of times people hear my sermon they hear they

45:19

thought they thought they heard my entire sermon then they hear it the second time they get the CD they listen to it hey did he say that in the service

45:25

I was there I didn't hear this and then the third time they hear it again and they get Revelations on my Revelations

45:32

amen and God begin to speak to them while they are hearing their faith is been built that's the that's food for their faith and this culture is being

45:39

lost we have we have been robbed there was a time our people are listening all the time and and and and you know they

45:45

have all kinds of good things happening Miracles happening even they're involved in an accident totle over God still protects them and great things happen

45:52

they are prospering in in their in their business Affairs in their financial life in their family life in their parenting

45:58

they have God's word playing all the time but today they asking what is happening I have symptoms in my body I don't see seem to have victory over I

46:04

have financial troubles I have parenting uh uh difficulties with my teenage daughter I have this I have that what

46:11

happened you stop hearing you mean to tell me Pastor Prince just by hearing uh Miracles can

46:17

happen exactly exactly I'm going to prove that presently but before that let me just

46:22

tell you this there are also those who say that this verse faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God

46:29

is when you hear God in your heart God speaks to you and that's how God speaks to me Pastor God speaks to me in my

46:35

heart and many times when they say that all right now I don't doubt that God speaks to you in your heart but the

46:42

number one way God speaks to you all right based on this context say context

46:47

is King when you translate or interpret the Bible when you in when you are reading the Bible always remember

46:54

context is number one context is King anyone taking a verse out of context can

46:59

say whatever they want to say even uh uh Cults are built on verses of the Bible that they take out of context all right

47:07

you take the text out of it context you take the text you have the

47:13

con okay so let's look at the text what faith is this directly from God and I believe God speaks directly but this

47:20

faith that comes is hearing what how three verses before this it says this how then shall they call on him in whom

47:26

they have not believed your colleagues your relatives your friends you don't talk to them about Jesus how can they

47:32

ever believe in him how can they call on him in whom they have not believed and then it says how shall they believe in

47:38

him of whom they have not heard and then this question and how

47:43

shall they hear without a preacher just three verses before faith comes by

47:49

hearing and hearing by the word of God it tells you how shall they hear how how

47:54

shall they hear without a preacher but we in the charismatic move we say that God speaks

48:00

to me God speaks to me God speaks to me it's not talking about God speaking to you directly in your heart where faith

48:05

comes by hearing this faith that comes by hearing in the context is hearing through a

48:12

preacher now the thing is this you can't bring a preacher with you everywhere but

48:17

I believe that in these last days God has ordained iPhones

48:23

iPods laptops that's why it's called I pot pot is to contain seeds and God's

48:30

word are all Incorruptible seeds i n know whatever it is and if you can just

48:37

you know listen to God's word Hey listen when the devil attacks your body does he attack your body once a

48:44

week does he say okay I only attack you once a week the other days I take rest I

48:49

mean my Sabbath is six days I only attack on no of course not if if you

48:55

have been given a bad prognosis or the doctor has given you a bad report you know that that that this disease is

49:01

growing you you you know that it's attacking you Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday you ought to be listening to

49:07

God's word every day because God's word is a sword of the spirit that will slice that tumor off

49:15

can I have a good amen I want to read to you a testimony from I recommend this book it's quite a

49:21

good book because I know the author quite well I know him for a number of years now

49:26

destined to rain I want to read to you a testimony of a a Singaporean she she she wrote

49:34

this testimony and she gave us this testimony we include this testimony in this book which was written number of

49:40

years ago and it says this Pastor Prince only early last year she said I was diagnosed

49:47

with a tumor on the pitutary gland in my brain the MRI scan showed that the tumor

49:53

was a macro grow of about 1.5 CM the neurosurgeon at the Singapore

50:00

General Hospital said that if I had seen him any later the tumor would have affected my eyesight as it was pressing

50:07

on my optic nerfed I was presented with two options immediate surgery to remove

50:13

the tumor the risk of surgery was that besides a 20% failure rate I could become blind in one eye or medication

50:19

and I was told that medication would take a long time to work and most patients only experienc a shrinkage in

50:24

the tumor after a year or so what the doctors had found out and said about the tumor was devastating to me and my

50:31

family I remember telling myself that if I would to lose my eyesight I don't want to leave anymore it was during this time

50:38

that my family resolved to commit the whole thing to God to trust and rely on him entirely and pray for healing we

50:45

opted to go with taking medication during this time despite wanting to believe in God's love and goodness

50:50

towards me I was constantly played with questions like this does God love me anymore

50:56

does he even care is he punishing me for something wrong that I've done should I

51:01

just grit my teeth and accept the situation it was only when a fellow colleague and friend at my workplace

51:08

started passing me your sermon CD to listen to listen not to hang around in

51:14

the decorative uh way so that when the light hit it it would just cause lights or rainbow to fly off all right but to

51:21

listen you know you can do that no so the colleague passed her my sermon

51:28

series for her to listen to listen to that I was reminded once again of my

51:33

father's love Grace and goodness towards me and I believe that as I listen as I

51:40

listen as I listen to the word preach you know it's amazing Miracles don't

51:45

Miracles are received in a simple way the world says you got to do this you got to do that all right but listen she

51:51

says listen one of Jesus favorite expression when he was walking on this Earth is he that have years to hear Let

51:59

Him hear he that have years to hear Let Him hear because right now you are here

52:04

but you're not listening or you are listening and you are benefiting are you

52:12

listening when Jesus went back to Heaven he sent the Holy Spirit then in the Book of Revelation when Jesus is in heaven

52:18

then the message to the church is If any man have ears to hear Let Him hear what the spirit says to the churches but

52:25

right now we are hearing what the holy spirit is saying to the pastor and it's affirmed in Your Heart by the spirit so

52:32

she says as I listen and I believe that as I listen to the word preached via the

52:37

Cs my body began healing that's the word many of you need

52:43

you asking I've been taking communion for a long time I've been praying for a long time I asked God for a long time

52:48

but get back to the way of God Amen when you hear you will take communion in the

52:54

right Spirit of fath Faith you do everything right okay as I listen my body began healing within a month of the

53:01

medication the level of prolactin in my blood decreased and the balance of chemicals in my body became stable after

53:07

two more months the MRI scan showed that the tumor had shung to half its original

53:13

size I was very encouraged and most importantly I felt confident and secure that my God was doing his work of

53:20

healing in my body that he loves and cares for me enough to know that I was hurting and to do something about it

53:25

the best news came in early August when the MRI scan that I went for showed that

53:31

the microtumor was gone g o n e exclamation point capital letters

53:40

gone the doctor was amazed and the doctor kept saying that in most cases

53:46

even when a tumor had shrunk by so much there will still be remnants of tumor cells but in my case the tumor was

53:54

completely gone with no trace of any tumor cells at all no words can describe how grateful and thankful I am to God

54:01

all right he say I know that I'm the righteousness of God because of what Jesus has done for me this deep sense of knowing I'm deeply loved and cared for

54:08

by God make me so secure in my relationship with God praise God hallelujah all right now the thing is

54:15

this Miracles are delivered God's way of delivering Miracles is by preaching

54:21

which means someone is preaching someone is hearing not just anyone preaching and

54:26

that's what I want I want to say this in a strong way yall believe that God planted you

54:33

here okay a few of you one more time I don't know what the rest of you are here for do you all believe that God planted

54:40

you here in this church if you believe or else you need to find a church where you believe God is planting you okay and

54:45

there are many great ones in Singapore now if you believe God has planted you in this church if you really believe God

54:52

has planted you in this church then the first food that you eat is the food of the house you see once in

54:58

a while you go to a fast food joint you have you have uh Burgers you have french

55:04

fries you go for for uh certain cafes whatever it is but your main staple and

55:09

the best food you eat and the cleanest food is still your house food there's no mixture you know that in

55:16

your house your your your your mom or your your your wife will not give you a

55:22

a food that she knows positively you don't like amen and and you know the way it's taken

55:28

care of you know that that extra care to be more hygienic about the way it's presented is in the house you can't

55:35

guarantee that elsewhere now Pastor Prince is not saying and I repeat that not saying that you don't hear other

55:41

people but sometimes people hear messages that are a mixture from people

55:47

don't have a revelation about how dead we are to the law that we might bring forth fruit to God and they mix you know

55:53

law and Grace for example and you listen to that and you you are confused and you come back to us and you vomit on us we

56:00

have to clean up the mess we wonder he I can't this food I never give you it you know the thing is that you you are you

56:06

are listening to a lot of things and one of the best ways to distract people from listening is to give them so much of

56:12

abundance that people in the ocean can die of thirst because they're surrounded by water but they think that because

56:18

water is around that means automatically that translates to quenching their thir no a thousand times no one of the

56:23

devices of the enemy is to distract you so much that you switch on the computer the very first page gives you a lot of

56:29

news like a hook it gets you on and later on you forget the very reason you are actually opening up your laptop

56:36

for distraction is one of the ways of the devil just like Mary who set at Jesus feet when he came to the house if

56:43

Jesus came to your house for Chinese New Year are going to go inside your your

56:48

your your kitchen and prepare him your pineapple Tarts you say about Pastor

56:55

of course I give him the best you know the one there's pineapple Ts for visitors and there's pineapple Ts for my

57:00

family that one the special one all right that one I prepare only for my family I'll give to Jesus both are wrong

57:08

when it comes to your house he who fed more than 5,000 people with Five Loaves don't need you to feed him when it comes

57:14

to your house the way you compliment him the way you make him feel special the way you make him feel like God that he

57:19

actually is is to sit at his feet and the Bible says and Mary listen to his word

57:25

Mary had a sister called Martha but Martha was busy serving serving the lord nonetheless so I want to say a word to

57:32

all of you here who are serving but many of times because you are serving that day you don't even listen to the word

57:37

I'd rather you listen and not serve so there comes you've been robbed you've been robbed you forget what's

57:43

important then you lose the motivation for for for serving and for a while you get bitter you get angry and you leave

57:48

church and the thing is this because you're not hearing and Mar came in stress Martha

57:55

came in angry Martha came in complaining to the Lord saying the sister is not

58:00

helping her and the Lord protected Mary her place of listening and the Lord says

58:05

Mary chose the good part which shall not be taken away from her does that mean that listening you end up with doing

58:11

nothing no Mary was the only woman that anointed Jesus body at the right time

58:18

when other women tried to anoint his body on the resurrection morning too late he had risen he had risen forever

58:24

with the fragrance of Mary's perfume on him Mary did the right thing at the right time because she listened at Jesus

58:33

feet so when he comes to your house it's not the natural

58:38

thing that would please him you think that I must give to him no he wants you

58:43

to take from him who is the full one who is the f l one stop and

58:49

think the greatest posture you can have towards God is listen listen listen but

58:55

you say Pastor PR just by listening I can get Miracles exactly watch this uh 1 Corinthians 1 it says this that it

59:01

pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe it

59:06

pleased God God's method of delivery of all of Heaven's goods and blessings and

59:12

God's Miracles is by the foolishness of preaching you know not the foolishness

59:19

of preachers thank God the methodology sounds foolish

59:25

a man stands up he talks and God delivers God heals God prospers because

59:31

the word to save is from the Greek word Soo it's not just safe from Hell thank God for that but it's more than that

59:38

every time someone gets healed in the New Testament physical healing is the word Soo so by the foolishness of uh

59:45

preaching it has pleased God by this system to heal to save to preserve to

59:51

protect to prosper all that is in the word so amen so by the foolishness of

1:00:00

preaching and the thing is that we learn that we faith is arted when we hear a

1:00:07

preacher so what do you do you follow the preacher in those days they follow the preacher they follow Jesus

1:00:13

everywhere to get the word oh know Pastor they went to follow him just to be healed now read carefully

1:00:19

in Luke 5 watch this in Luke 5 however the report went around concerning Jesus all the more and great multitudes came

1:00:27

together to hear and to be healed say to

1:00:32

hear and then be healed Jesus would always preach

1:00:37

first Bible say and Jesus went about preaching and teaching and healing it's

1:00:43

always preaching and teaching and healing when he is preaching people are

1:00:48

hearing when people are hearing they get healing that's the blueprint of God come

1:00:56

on people so the devil the first thing he does and Jesus told us in the parable the S and the seed in Mark chapter 4 you

1:01:03

can read about it uh the four types of ground is your type of heart that falls on he said the preacher SWS the word of

1:01:10

God and immediately immediately immediately Satan comes to steal the

1:01:16

word he cannot even allow one day one week one month to pass by because he's afraid God's word will take root on the

1:01:22

inside of you amen the same Parable tells us that Affliction arises because

1:01:28

of the word sck Affliction arises because of the word sick in other words

1:01:34

if you hear a word about healing all right and you're so excited about it that way you fall sick why why why why

1:01:41

why you got attacked on that way because the devil wants you to give up on this teaching on this word on healing he knows that the moment you you have that

1:01:48

word swn deep in your heart the longer you wait all right the roots will go deeper and it's very hard for him to

1:01:53

pull out a tree it's easier to pull out a shoot so instead of that you got

1:01:59

disappointed instead of saying that wow I'm being attacked because I receive that word of healing I'm going to hold on to the word and then become 30-fold

1:02:05

manifestation 3F means what 7f plenty of it is still not well only 34 well but

1:02:12

then the next stage 64 now 64 part of your body is well that's majority now

1:02:18

and 40f is not but majority now keep on holding the word keep on hearing the

1:02:23

word guess what 100f zero unwell areas amen that's the

1:02:30

word of God I'm just telling you what Jesus said are you listening people so the thing is that we are so distracted

1:02:37

we've been robbed that this early this week I spoke to uh Darren Pastor Darren

1:02:43

who runs the varsity's ministry and and I and I shared with him

1:02:49

and we both saw and I said to him that you know even when I end ended up my sermon on Solomon last week I didn't see

1:02:56

what God was saying to the church just yet but obviously I was speaking prophetically I ended up on hearing heart you know about Solomon hearing and

1:03:04

all that surrounding himself with people to listen to but we both agreed that the

1:03:09

culture that we Ed to have of people hearing the word is now lost we've been

1:03:15

robbed I said we've been Rob now all a sudden your iPod start Gathering dust

1:03:22

all a sudden even your your laptop all the sermons you have you forgot you even have them down there you're no more

1:03:28

getting sermons anymore you think that you have heard it is enough you forgot

1:03:33

about the importance of present continuous tense hearing and then you're wondering how come you're not getting a

1:03:39

present continuous stance blessing Miracles healing deliverances blessings

1:03:46

and help amen if you you know many of us we we

1:03:51

think that we know about healing or we know about Grace we know about that that's not a thing even if you know God

1:03:57

wants you to keep on hearing are you listening people now a case in point by

1:04:03

the way I'm just to let you know that Pastor Darren years ago when he was

1:04:09

a teenager he came to our church he has no father he was brought

1:04:14

up by his mom the only son and before he came to our

1:04:21

church he fell into Bad Company and didn't want to study wasn't doing

1:04:27

well in school and his friends and all that brought him out you know and and uh I just know that I think there was a

1:04:33

gang fight or something like that he ended up in the police station with his friends Pastor

1:04:39

Darren he wasn't a pastor of course at that time and he was he spent one night in the police station after that someone

1:04:46

brought him to church and he listen now I want to say a word to all the pastors and leaders that are here we say that

1:04:52

young people have no heart for God's word there's so many Temptations out there let me tell you this young people

1:04:57

want reality and they know many of times they are hearing things that are fake but

1:05:03

they allow themselves to you know but when they encounter reality they know it

1:05:09

you cannot con this generation amen when he came to church

1:05:14

he heard the preaching of the word something happened to him this young man probably only his teens he emptied his

1:05:21

savings he had some you know a saving uh of about he emptied his same I just know that he purchased

1:05:28

$1,000 worth of cassettes of my

1:05:34

sermon and one of them the series that he loved the most is a series I did on wisdom especially on Solomon wisdom as a

1:05:43

young teenag he started listening to it he said day and night he started listening to it listening to it listening to it cut a long story short

1:05:50

he went for further studies he did well he went for further studies uh in uh in in Australia and graduated with top

1:05:57

honors among the top students and when he came back I didn't

1:06:02

know about all this I knew about all this later when I came back when my Ministry God opened up doors for my

1:06:08

Ministry and all that and I was on the search on the lookout for someone to run my Ministry I look at Darren at that

1:06:14

time I don't know him well in the same way I I look at a lot of my leaders I don't spend time with them I spend time

1:06:19

my my call pastors and and Darren wasn't a pastor and I look at him just a short time God gave him so much favor with me

1:06:25

I don't know him well you know and and he has no experience to run a TV Ministry he has no experience to run an

1:06:31

International Ministry let alone TV Ministry you know of that of that caliber and yet I entrusted him with

1:06:38

that that that responsibility cut a long story short today he runs my Ministry

1:06:44

internationally and I don't think my ministry will be where it is today had it not been for pastor Darren and he got using him in that

1:06:50

area amen you know there are people who are handling major Ministries in

1:06:57

America uh I mean guys who are 20 years older than him even more than 20 years

1:07:02

old than him who enjoy talking to him spending time with him calling him their friend and he's much

1:07:10

younger you know and and it's amazing the wisdom that God gives him and other Ministries are seeking him out other

1:07:17

Ministries want to learn how how a Ministry can take off just like that and they think that Darren has a lot of TV

1:07:22

experience he's not training there but he has this series called wisdom that he

1:07:28

listened to day and night and imparted what he did not have it removed what he doesn't want to have you know it gave

1:07:35

him the delivery system of God just gave him everything that he needed and it says that this culture and I thought

1:07:40

that for a moment just like on my way to our staff Retreat just this past week on

1:07:46

the way there I was listening listening to the word and I was thinking to myself how can people not listen because for me

1:07:52

the moment I don't listen I start my mind start to wonder I start think on nonsense and usually it's a dark

1:07:59

side that dark force seems to like Captivate your mind when you're not occupied with the things of God so I

1:08:06

would listen I I I find I find myself divested of strength when I don't

1:08:13

listen to God's word so I assume that everybody is like that but we had a good discussion and and and and he's handling

1:08:19

the vity the youth and all that and he's saying that that many of them you know they they they they they have heard but

1:08:24

they think that that's enough or they listen to to messages from other houses they don't have that Rama word like your

1:08:32

mother's food it's okay to listen to other places but listen no food like home cooked

1:08:40

food amen so we need to come back to this

1:08:45

okay and watch this delivery system in Galatians chapter 3 all foolish Galatians now the Galatians are

1:08:52

Christians all right but what happened was that someone came telling them yes it's nice you know you're safe right now

1:08:58

it's good to be born again it's nice to be a a safe Christian all right but you got to keep the law so he says who has

1:09:05

Bewitched you that you should not obey the truth before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as

1:09:12

crucified see the word bewitch is a spiritual witchcraft that people use the

1:09:17

word you must keep the law for Holiness it sounds so right it sounds so good I'm

1:09:23

tell you right now listen carefully when we say we're not under law we don't mean we are Lawless in fact the way you

1:09:30

achieve moral Excellence where you love your wife for all the right reasons where you don't steal in fact you let

1:09:35

other people steal from you and you end up giving to them that moral Excellence where the Ten Commandments says thou

1:09:41

shall not steal over here you are giving where it says don't commit adultery here you are self-sacrificing for your family

1:09:49

amen you're loving your wife and and and whatever the the the Lord demands all right Grace transcends but only when

1:09:55

you're date to the law you understand Romans 7 says your date to the law that you you should be married to Jesus

1:10:01

Christ who raised from the dead that we should be bring forth fruit unto God only when you're date to the law you can

1:10:07

bring forth fruit unto God then there are those who say oh the law that we are date to is ceremonial law killing of

1:10:13

animals then keep on reading context is King it says I had not known lust except

1:10:19

the law had said thou shall not lust or covered that is the 10 commandments so

1:10:24

the context there is that we are date to the Ten Commandments we are dat to the law that the spirit if you try to keep

1:10:30

the law you end up the opposite but if you if you know your dat to the law amen

1:10:35

you're enjoying God's love you end up with the moral Excellence that the LA talks about so by walking in the spirit

1:10:42

the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us not by us but fulfill in

1:10:50

US passive word are you

1:10:56

listening and then if someone says well what about Ephesians says uh children obey your parents and the Lord for this

1:11:02

is the first commandment with a promise honor your father and your mother yes Paul did quote that the same way when

1:11:07

Paul argues and Paul say even in the law back then all right it talks about honoring your parents all right and you

1:11:12

will live long on the Earth but Paul is not saying we are back under law sometimes judges for example when they

1:11:19

deliver the verdict even in Singapore or other countries like America when a judge delivers a verdict when the judge

1:11:24

delivers a verdict sometimes he quotes history and he will quote Roman law and the part of the Roman law that that's

1:11:31

wise you know he will say that even Roman law back then will say this but that does not mean in any way that the

1:11:37

country then is under Roman law in fact the amazing thing is that

1:11:45

Paul didn't quote much of the Ten Commandments he did say you should love your neighbor as yourself as an

1:11:50

illustration here it talks about honoring your parents as an illustration but everywhere about sexual

1:11:56

promiscuousness and adultery and all that Paul should have said thou shall not commit adultery never once did Paul say thou shall not commit adul Paul says

1:12:03

don't you know your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit how can I take the the temple of God and join it to a

1:12:08

prostitute amen that's how Paul preach so we are date to the law so that we can actually be morally

1:12:16

excellent you understand that the more you try to keep the law you end up opposite the more you are you know your

1:12:22

date to the law you will bring forth fruit to God I'm telling you church that's why

1:12:29

eat your house food and then go for your McDonald's Burger King now now I say

1:12:37

McDonald I say Burger King what else what else

1:12:42

huh yeah yeah yeah what is it I can tell okay never mind

1:12:50

anyway Galatians are believers but they came under the law they were bech then Paul says this only I want to

1:12:57

learn from you did you receive the Holy Spirit now how many of you receive the Holy Spirit say Amen all right did you

1:13:02

receive the Holy Spirit by The Works of the law by keeping the Ten Commandments did you say uh Pastor wait for a while

1:13:08

before I you pray for me to receive the Holy Spirit I need to get my life right I need to get my life right I need to get my life right we'll wait

1:13:14

forever did you receive the Holy Spirit by The Works of the law by your obedience by works by your efforts by

1:13:20

your Merit all by the hearing of faith which is

1:13:25

it the hearing of faith of course just by hearing you are filled with the Holy

1:13:32

Spirit Paul preached in cornelius's house I do not know Paul never said repent the Holy Spirit fell and they all

1:13:38

got filled with the Holy Spirit now I believe you must believe I don't believe

1:13:43

in Universal salvation that everybody is saved No Nonsense that's that that's a lie that's a heresy I believe you got to

1:13:49

believe but just by preaching they started believing in their heart they don't even know they are repenting they

1:13:54

don't even know they are they are believing just by hearing all this takes place in their heart and they were

1:14:00

filled with the holy spirit before the sermon ends I love it I love it when people listen and they don't even have

1:14:07

to wait like motivational speakers they say that well you don't get results because you didn't you didn't you didn't follow my seven

1:14:14

steps well God's way is not waiting for your seven steps to be implemented it's not by works of law it's as as you hear

1:14:20

as you are hearing you are re deceiving God is

1:14:27

healing that's what he's saying all right what about miracles he say are you so foolish having begun in the spirit

1:14:33

that means by faith by grace through faith are you now being made perfect by the flesh that means by effort now what

1:14:40

about miracles okay drop down verse 5 therefore God who supplies the Holy Spirit to you God who supplies the Holy

1:14:48

Spirit and this word supplies is a is a word for uh uh the guy in charge of a choir he supplies them he clothes them

1:14:56

he feeds them in those days traveling choir during Paul's time all right he used the same analogy the word Supply is

1:15:01

someone who is in charge of everything the choreographer as well in fact the word there Greek word sounds

1:15:08

like choreographer okay so he who supplies the Holy Spirit to you and and

1:15:13

the word Supply is present continuous tense he who constantly supplying you

1:15:19

the Holy Spirit and then again he who is constantly working miracles Miracles

1:15:27

Miracles and works there is present continuous tense as well he who is constantly supplying you the Holy Spirit

1:15:33

how many want God to constantly Supply you with the holy spirit amen that you don't worry about whether you are

1:15:38

leaking not you know God God is constantly supplying you the spirit and not only

1:15:44

that God is constantly working miracles among you how many won that amen now

1:15:52

does God do it does he do it by The Works of the law or by the hearing of

1:16:00

faith not having heard hearing as you listening God is supplying as you are

1:16:05

listening God is working miracles people you know what's working miracles or not

1:16:10

thank God for for doctors thank God for surgeons and Specialists thank God for

1:16:18

all of them anyone that helps mankind could be relieved from pain and suffering kudos to them God blessed them

1:16:24

they are doing good work they doing in fact the work that God is doing healing God is never out

1:16:30

destroying but you know something they are in the knowledge

1:16:37

skill arite learning but they are limited by their

1:16:42

knowledge but we know what's miracle miracle has got nothing to do with

1:16:48

time has nothing to do with medicine has got nothing to do with with your you must exercise like this has nothing to

1:16:54

do with all that Miracles means all right bang it happens to you how does that happen by works of the

1:17:02

law or by the hearing of Faith you know I have a friend um his name is Marcel he's a good

1:17:09

friend of mine he's a Dutch Pastor when I first preached in his church about 70 over people now he has thousands and uh

1:17:16

marel shares by the way this testimony I'm about to share with you is also in destined to reain all right Marcel

1:17:22

shares that one day he was on his way to Romania to preach and he had some friends behind him he was driving the car and he was listening to my

1:17:29

sermon and behind sitting behind a guy was trying to sleep one of his friends

1:17:35

you know uh I think one of the leaders in his church and and he was having pain excruciating pain in his back that he's

1:17:41

been suffering for a number of years ever since he had he was involved in a jet ski accident he Hur his back and uh

1:17:50

you know he was in pain on and off on and off and and he was in pain that particular time on the way to Romania

1:17:56

and and marel was listening to my to to my preaching and the guy said he was at the back and he was listening to

1:18:02

something I said while he was like semiconscious and when he heard it in

1:18:07

his heart he says amen bang everything left and never came back all the pain

1:18:13

left now that is a miracle amen didn't come from Pastor

1:18:19

Prince I'm just the delivery boy you know I I I I I am the boy that brings the bread to you amen God is the one who

1:18:26

supplies the spirit God is the one who works the Miracles amen so God worked the miracle as he was what hearing he

1:18:32

wasn't even working in fact he was lazing but he was

1:18:38

hearing and God was healing you see now what is not Miracle is that you go to a

1:18:43

chiropractor all right and the chiropractor touch you cl cl okay come

1:18:49

back next week appointment and you got to pay and all that right thank God for chiropra again they relieve your pain thank God for them okay no problem then

1:18:55

come back again then CR CR CR CR you always get out of work so they have to crack you back because you uncrack

1:19:01

yourself always you know or you crack yourself then they uncrack you which is way anyway uh so you go back and they

1:19:07

crack you crack you're back again okay your socket is back and all that but you always have to go back you know what I'm

1:19:13

saying uh but God's way is Miracles God works miracles this is a million oh man

1:19:18

billion dollar no price can be put on it on this verse it tells you how how God

1:19:24

works miracles how God supplies the spirit you would have thought that this is the center uh uh scripture for every

1:19:31

healing conference every Revival meetings and all that because it really tells you it is not by works of the law

1:19:38

it's by the hearing of faith and we have lost it we've lost

1:19:46

it whether it is married life whether it is I don't care what is

1:19:54

it there is this testimony that we received recently from a sister from La

1:20:00

married for 10 years my husband and I have three beautiful sons I was raised to have faith love Jesus and live right

1:20:08

I did my best to do those things but I always felt that God had something more in store for me while pregnant with our third son I was introduced to Pastor

1:20:14

Prince sermons and the message of God's grace immediately resonated in my spirit however 6 days before delivering our

1:20:19

third son I found out that my husband had a pornography addiction and had not been faithful to me wow what a blow it's

1:20:26

a long sermon long sharing so I'm going to cut it short all right she said we began watching Pastor princess TV

1:20:33

program together now one thing I I I a bit

1:20:38

jealous about is that you know Pastor Lawrence was here just now Pastor Lawrence and Daniel and those who are

1:20:44

with me when they go for my book signing in America and we've done this a number of places a number of times really uh uh

1:20:50

the first time around and and just last few months I always hear them saying this when they

1:20:55

come their eyes are full of tears you can always tell those who are always watching and hearing their eyes are full

1:21:01

of glor their face are full of glory and the eyes sparkle always and you know what many of them said you can ask

1:21:07

Pastor Lawrence he was there to hear Pastor Daniel as well they always say you know Pastor Prince I watch your

1:21:12

sermons all the time many of them not a few quite a

1:21:18

number of them said I watch you morning noon and night and I tell them I don't

1:21:23

even watch and listen to myself stff that often they say that because it comes on in the morning it comes on in the

1:21:29

afternoon it comes on at night and and the thing is this many of you get me only once a week they get me every day

1:21:35

on TV and they record now and they watch it some of them and they I come on often

1:21:41

they are watching and hearing me every day in my own

1:21:48

church because they have me here every week they say Sunday

1:21:55

na that's why I am jealous for you you understand or not I'm jealous for you in America my my you know people are

1:22:01

getting my resources they are listening that and that's why I'm reading a lot of testimonies from

1:22:07

America amen whereas I want the same thing to happen to you and and many of

1:22:12

them that come for the book signing book signing you get a chance to see them face to face in the thousands of them in the arena you don't get to get close

1:22:18

with them but many of them they say that my son will not sleep and until he listens to you many of them many of them

1:22:26

will share how when they are listening they get healed I was sick I was this I was that as was hearing God's word you

1:22:33

were preaching about this bang I got healed and and I began to feel jealous

1:22:38

for all of you and the thing is

1:22:49

this there is the culture it is not like I'm saying that everyone is doing this

1:22:54

but but you know if God get me to preach on this that means many of you you think there's really no need to be hearing you

1:23:02

1:26:53

how did a woman in the issue of blood get healed how she touched the ham of His Garment yeah but what did she say

1:26:59

after that before that I believe if I touch I can be made whole what made her say that well let's read the Bible says

1:27:06

now a certain woman Mark 5 had a flow of blood for 12 years she was suffering a

1:27:12

hammer rage for 12 years some of you say Pastor prin I didn't receive my healing I ask God for healing healing and I took

1:27:18

my communion so many times and all how long has it been one year already or have a year already they they they they

1:27:25

called me like I'm the Healer you know if I'm the Healer will I look like this I'll take my hand and touch my face

1:27:32

and for healing you know what I'm saying I'm not the Healer I'm the

1:27:39

delivery boy how many times have I said that to you amen but they complain now this woman has been suffering for 12

1:27:46

years you all 12 years by then then the third year some

1:27:53

people say well I guess God doesn't heal today the fifth year they come of a Doctrine why God doesn't

1:27:59

heal the seven year they join a church that says Miracles are over look at this woman she's been

1:28:06

suffering Hemorrhage for 12 years 12 years and has suffered many things from many

1:28:12

Physicians they all experiment on her the Bible says she suffered went to many

1:28:18

doctors she had spent all that she had that means what not only is she sick she is broke she spent all that she

1:28:25

had and was no better but rather grew worse when she heard about Jesus when

1:28:32

she heard when she heard that's where

1:28:37

the miracle began amen she heard about Jesus she heard about Jesus that he heals today I

1:28:46

don't think she heard that you know Jes Jesus heals but you know Miracles are over he just healed the the last one in

1:28:54

Galilee ah my lottery didn't come in the guy got healed you know it's like is not

1:29:00

the kind of thing she heard she heard a loving savior she heard the king of kindliness

1:29:06

the Lord of loveliness and the prince of princeless and how loving he is that

1:29:13

made her say if I just touch the ham of His Garment I shall be made

1:29:19

whole and she was healed it all begin with when she heard and in those days

1:29:25

1:32:02

well you know what this guy did Paul and Barnabas were preaching the gospel this man heard Paul

1:32:09

speaking this man heard Paul speaking by the way the word heard in the Greek is

1:32:16

in the present continuous sorry uh imperfect tense imperfect means he kept

1:32:21

on hearing perfect means once and for all but imperfect means he kept on kept

1:32:27

on kept on hearing and hearing and hearing he kept on hearing Paul

1:32:34

speaking Paul observing him intently and seeing that he had Faith to be healed

1:32:41

said with a loud voice stand up straight on your feet and he live and walk never

1:32:47

walked before crippled from his mother's womb in one one one one one
