Psalms 119 it says the entrance of your words gives like it gives understanding to the simple

0:01

that they take out of context all right you take the text out of its context you

0:08

take the text you have the con okay so let's look at the text what faith is this directly from God and I

0:14

believe God speaks directly but this faith that comes is hearing what how three verses before this it says

0:21

this how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believe your colleagues your relatives your friends

0:26

they don't talk to them about Jesus how can they ever believe in him how can they call on him in whom they have not

0:32

believed and he says how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard

0:38

and then there's this question and how shall they hear without a preacher just

0:44

three verses before faith comes by hearing hearing by the word of God it tells you how shall they hear how

0:51

how shall they hear without a preacher but we in the charismatic move we say

0:56

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

1:01

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

1:09

now the thing is this you can't bring a preacher with you everywhere but I believe that in these

1:16

last days God has ordained iPhones iPods laptops this is called iPod Port

1:24

is to contain seeds and God's word are all Incorruptible

1:29

thieves I not know whatever it is and if you can just you know listen to God's word Hey

1:36

listen when the devil attacks your body does he attack your body once a week

1:41

does he say okay I only attack you once a week the other days I take rest I mean my Sabbath is six days

1:49

I only attack on no of course not if you have been given a bad prognosis or the

1:54

doctor has given you a bad report you know that that that this disease is growing yo you know that it's attacking

2:01

you Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday you ought to be listening to God's word every day

2:07

because gospel is a sword of the spirit there were slides that tumor off can I have a good amen

2:14

I want to read to you a testimony from I recommend this book it's quite a good book because I know the author quite

2:19

well I know him for a number of years now destined to reign

2:27

I want to read to your testimony of a Singaporean she she wrote this testimony and she gave us this testimony but we

2:33

include this testimony in this book which was written a number of years ago and it says this

2:40

the prince only early last year she said I was diagnosed with a tumor on the pituitary gland in my brain

2:48

the MRI scan showed that the tumor was a macro growth of about 1.5 cm

2:55

the neurosurgeon at the Singapore General Hospital said that if I had seen him any later the tumor would have

3:01

affected my eyesight as it was pressing on my optic nerved I was presented with two options

3:08

immediate surgery to remove the tumor the risk of surgery was that besides the 20 failure rate I could become blind in

3:14

one eye or medication and I was told that medication would take a long time to work and most patients only

3:19

experience a shrinkage in the tumor after a year or so what the doctors had found out and said

3:26

about the tumor was devastating to me and my family I remember telling myself that if I were to lose my eyesight I

3:32

don't want to leave anymore it was during this time that my family resolved to commit the whole thing to God to trust and rely on him entirely

3:39

and pray for healing we opted to go with taking medication during this time

3:44

despite wanting to believe in God's love and goodness towards me I was constantly played with questions like this does God

3:51

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

3:58

just grip my teeth and accept the situation it was only when a fellow colleague and

4:03

friend at my workplace started passing me your sermon City to listen

4:09

to listen not to hang around in the decorative way so that when the light

4:14

heated it would just cause lights a rainbow to fly off all right but to listen

4:19

you know you can do that no so the colleague Pastor my sermon series

4:25

for her to listen to listen to that I was reminded once again of my father's love Grace and

4:32

goodness towards me and I believe that as I listen as I listen as I listen to the word

4:39

preach you know it's amazing Miracles don't Miracles are received in a simple way

4:44

the world says you got to do this you got to do that all right but listen she says listen one

4:50

of Jesus favorite expression when he was walking on this Earth is he that have years to hear Let Him hear he left ears

4:57

to hear Let Him hear because right now you are here but you're not listening

5:02

or you are listening and you are benefiting are you listening

5:09

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

5:15

message to the church is If any man have ears to hear Let Him hear what the spirit says to the churches so right now we are

5:22

hearing what the holy spirit is saying to the pastor and it's affirm in Your Heart by the

5:28

spirit so she says as I listen and I believe that as I listen to the word preach via

5:34

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

5:40

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 but get

5:45

back to the way of God amen when you hear your take communion

5:51

in the right Spirit of faith you will do everything okay as I listen my body began healing within a month of the

5:57

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

6:04

two more months the MRIs can show that the tumor had shrunk to half its

6:09

original size I was very encouraged and most importantly I felt confident and secure

6:15

that my God was doing his work of healing in my body that he loves and cares for me and not to know that I was hurting and to do something about it the

6:22

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

6:28

the macro tumor was gone g-o-n-e exclamation point capital letters gone

6:38

the doctor was amazed and the doctor kept saying that in most cases even when

6:43

a tumor had shrunk by so much there would still be remnants of tumor cells but in my case the tumor was completely

6:52

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

6:59

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

7:05

me so secure in my relationship with God praise God hallelujah all right now the

7:11

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

7:17

preaching which means someone is preaching someone is hearing not just anyone preaching and that's why I want

7:24

to say this in a strong way your belief that God planted you here

7:30

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 you

7:36

here in this church if you believe all right you need to find a church where you believe God is planting you okay and there are many

7:43

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

7:49

planted you in this church then the first food that you will eat is the food of the house

7:54

you see once a while you go to a fast food joint you have you have Burgers you

8:00

have french fries you go for for certain cafes whatever it is but your main

8:06

staple and the best food you eat and the cleanest food is still your house food

8:12

there's no mixture you know that in your house your your your mom or your your your wife will not give you a food that

8:19

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

8:25

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

8:32

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

8:38

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

8:44

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

8:50

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

8:57

we have to clean up the mess we wonder hey I found this food I never give you one you know the thing is that you you

9:03

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

9:09

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

9:14

because water is around that means automatically that translates to French in their tests no a thousand times no one of the devices of the enemy is to

9:22

distract you so much let me switch on the computer the very first pitch gives you a lot of news like a hook it gets

9:27

you on and later on you forget the very reason you are actually opening up your laptop for

9:33

destruction is one of the ways of the devil just like Mary who said at Jesus feet when he came to the house if Jesus

9:40

came to your house for Chinese New Year I'm gonna go inside your your your kitchen and prepare him your pineapple

9:47

tarts you save a pastor of course Allah give

9:53

him the best you know the one that's pineapple thoughts for visitors and there's pineapple plants for my family they're one the special one all right

10:00

the one I prepare only for my family I give to Jesus both are wrong when it comes to your house he who fed

10:06

more than 5 000 people with Five Laws don't need you to feed him when it comes to your house the way you

10:12

compliment him the way you make him feel special the way you make him feel like God that he actually is is to sit at his

10:18

feet and the Bible says and Mary listen to his word Mary had a sister called Martha but

10:24

Martha was busy serving serving the lord nonetheless so I want to say a word to all of you here who are serving but many times

10:31

because you are serving that day you don't even listen to the word I'd rather you listen and not serve

10:37

so there comes Jurgen to Rob you've been robbed you forget what's important then you lose the motivation for t for for

10:42

serving and for a while you get beat there you get angry and you leave church and the thing is this because you're not hearing

10:49

and mother came in stress Martha came in angry Mata came in

10:54

complaining to the Lord saying that sister's not helping her and the Lord protected Mary her place of listening and the Lord says

11:02

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

11:08

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

11:13

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

11:21

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

11:28

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

11:35

that will please him you think that I must give to him no he wants you to take from him

11:41

who is the full one who is the full one stop and think

11:46

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

11:52

past the princess by listening I can get Miracles exactly watch this uh First Corinthians 1 it says this that it

11:58

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

12:03

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

12:09

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

12:16

preachers thank God the methodology sounds foolish a man stands up he talks

12:24

and God delivers God heals God for us with other words to save is from the

12:30

Greek word Sozo it's not just safe from Hell thank God for that but it's more than that every time someone gets healed

12:36

in the New Testament physical healing is the word Sozo so by the foolishness of

12:41

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

12:48

protect to prosper all that is in the word so though amen

12:54

so by the foolishness of preaching and the thing is that we learn that

13:00

we faith is important when we hear a preacher so what do you do

13:06

you follow the preacher in those days they follow the preacher they follow Jesus everywhere to get the word

13:13

oh no Pastor they went to follow him just to be healed now reach carefully in Luke 5 watch this in Luke 5 however the

13:19

report went around concerning Jesus all the more and great multitudes came together to hear

13:26

and to be healed said to hear and then be healed Jesus would always

13:32

preach first the Bible said and Jesus went about preaching and teaching and healing it's

13:40

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

13:45

hearing when people are hearing they get healing

13:51

that's the blueprint of God come on people so the devil the first thing he does and Jesus told us in the parable

13:57

the sower and the seed in Mark chapter four you can read about it uh the four types of ground is your type of heart

14:04

that falls on he said the preacher sows the word of God and immediately

14:09

immediately immediately Satan comes to steal the wood he cannot even allow one

14:15

day one week one month to pass by because he's afraid God's word will take root on the inside of you amen the same

14:21

Parable tells us that Affliction arises because of the word say

14:27

Affliction arises because of the word sick in other words if you hear a word about healing all right and you're so

14:34

excited about it that way you fall sick because the devil wants you to give up

14:40

on this teaching on this word on healing he knows that the moment you you have that word sown deep in your heart the

14:46

longer you wait all right the roots will go deeper and it's very hard for him to pull out a tree it's easier to pull out

14:52

a shoot so instead of that you got disappointed instead of saying that wow I'm being

14:58

attacked because I received that word of healing I'm gonna hold on to the word and I become 34 manifestation 34 means

15:04

what 74 plenty of it is still not well only 34 well but then the next stage 64.

15:11

now 64 part of your body as well that's majority now and 44 is not but majority

15:18

now keep on holding the word keep on hearing the word guess what 104.

15:23

zero unwell areas amen that's the word of God I'm just telling you what Jesus said

15:29

are you listening people so the thing is that we are so distracted within Rob that this early

15:35

this week I spoke to uh Darren Buster Darren who runs the

15:41

varsities ministry and and I shared with him and we both saw

15:47

and I said to him that you know even when I ended up my sermon on Solomon last week I didn't see what God was

15:53

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

16:01

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

16:07

used to have of people hearing the word it's not lost we've been robbed

16:13

I said we've been Rob now sudden your iPods start Gathering dust also even your your laptop all the

16:21

sermons you have you forgot you even have them down there you're no more getting sermons anymore

16:26

you think that you have heard it is enough you forgot about the importance of present continuous tense hearing

16:34

and then you're wondering how come you're not getting a present continuous stance blessing Miracles healing

16:40

deliverances blessings and help amen

16:46

if you you know many of us we think that we know about healing oh we know about Grace we know about that that's not the

16:52

thing even if you know God wants you to keep on hearing are you listening people no a case in

16:59

point by the way and just let you know that Pastor Darren

17:04

years ago when he was a teenager he came to our church he has no father he was brought up by

17:12

his mom the only son and before he came to our church

17:18

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

17:24

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

17:30

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

17:37

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

17:42

after that someone brought him to church and he listened now I want to say a word to all the pastors and leaders that are

17:48

here we say that young people have no heart for God's word there's so many Temptations out there let me tell you

17:53

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

18:00

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

18:05

cannot call this generation amen when he came to church he heard the

18:11

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

18:18

savings he had some you know a saving uh of about he emptied the same I just know that he purchased one thousand dollars

18:26

worth of cassettes of my sermon

18:32

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

18:39

as a young teenage he started listening to it he said day and night he started listening to it listening to it listening to it kind of long story short

18:47

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

18:54

among the top students and when he came back I didn't know about all this I knew

18:59

about all this later when he came back when my Ministry God opened up doors for

19:05

my 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

19:10

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

19:16

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

19:22

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

19:28

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

19:35

that that responsibility he had a long story short today he runs my Ministry internationally and I don't think my

19:42

ministry will be where it is today had he not been for pastor Darren and God using him in that area

19:48

oh man you know there are people who are handling major Ministries in America

19:54

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

20:00

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

20:08

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

20:13

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

20:19

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

20:24

that he listens to day and night and he imparted what he did not have it removed what he doesn't want to have you know as

20:31

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

20:37

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

20:42

on the way there I was listening listening to the word and I was thinking to myself how can people not listen because for me the moment I don't listen

20:49

I start my mind start to wonder I start thinking on nonsense and usually it's a dark side

20:57

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

21:04

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

21:10

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

21:16

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

21:21

think that that's enough oh they listen to to messages from other houses they don't have that Rhema word like

21:28

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

21:38

amen so we need to come back to this okay and

21:43

watch this delivery system in Galatians chapter three all foolish Galatians now

21:48

the Galatians are Christians all right but what happened was that someone came telling them yes it's nice no you're

21:54

safe right now it's good to be born again it's nice to be a a a a a safe Christian all right but you got to keep

22:00

the law so he says who has Bewitched you that you should not obey the truth before whose eyes Jesus Christ was

22:07

clearly portrayed among you as crucified say the word bewitch is a spiritual witchcraft that people

22:13

use the word you must keep the law for Holiness it sounds so right it sounds so

22:19

good I'm gonna tell you right now listen carefully when we say we're not under law we don't mean we are Lawless in fact

22:26

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

22:32

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

22:37

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

22:44

for your family amen you're loving your wife and and whatever the the law

22:49

demands all right Grace transcends but only when you're dead to the law you understand Romans 7 says you're dead to

22:55

the law that you should be married to Jesus Christ who raised from the dead that we should be bring forth fruit unto

23:01

God only when you're dead to the law you can bring forth fruit unto God then there are those who say oh the Lord that

23:07

we are dead to is ceremonial law healing of animals then keep on reading context is King it says I had not known lust

23:15

except the law had said thou shall not lust are covered that is The Ten Commandments so the

23:21

context days that we are dead to the Ten Commandments we are dead to the law that the spirit if you try to keep the law

23:27

you end up the opposite but if you if you know your date to the law amen you enjoying God's love you end up with a

23:34

moral Excellence that the Lord talks about so by walking in the spirit the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in

23:43

us not by us but fulfilled in US passive word

23:51

are you listening and then someone says well what about efficiency sir

23:57

children obey your parents in the Lord for this is the first commandment with a promise honor your father and your mother yes father quote that the same

24:03

way when Paul argues and Paul said even in the law back then all right it talks about honoring your parents right and

24:09

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

24:16

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

24:21

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

24:27

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

24:33

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

24:41

Paul didn't quote much of the Ten Commandments he did say you shall love your neighbor

24:46

as yourself as an illustration here it talks about honoring your parents as an illustration but everywhere from a

24:53

sexual promiscuousness and adultery and all that Paul should have said that should not come into adultery never once did Paul says Paul says don't you know

25:00

your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit how can I take the temple of God and join it to a prostitute

25:06

amen that's how Paul preached so we are dead to the Lord so that we can actually be morally excellent

25:13

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

25:20

the law you'll bring forth fruit to God I'm telling your church

25:25

that's why eat your house food and then go for your McDonald's

25:31

Burger King Nancy McDonald I say Burger King what else what else

25:37

huh yeah yeah what is it I can tell okay

25:43

never mind anyway Galatians

25:49

are believers but they came under the law they were Bewitched and Paul says this only I want to learn from you did

25:55

you receive the Holy Spirit now how many people receive the Holy Spirit Say Amen all right did you receive the Holy

26:00

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

26:06

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 forever

26:12

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

26:18

by the hearing of faith which is it

26:23

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

26:29

Paul preaching cornelia's house I do not know Paul never said repent the Holy Spirit fell and they all got filled with

26:35

the Holy Spirit now I believe you must believe I don't believe in Universal salvation that everybody is

26:42

safe No Nonsense that's that that's a lie that's a heresy I believe you got to believe but just by

26:47

preaching they started believing in their hearts they don't even know they are repenting they don't even know they are they are believing just by hearing

26:54

all this takes place in their heart and they were filled with the holy spirit before the sermon ends

27:00

I love it I love it when people listen and they don't even have to wait like motivational speakers they say that well

27:06

you don't get results because you didn't you didn't you didn't follow my seven steps

27:12

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

27:17

you are here ring you are receiving God is healing

27:24

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

27:30

means by faith by grace through faith are you not being made perfect by the flesh that means by effort now what

27:37

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

27:45

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

27:52

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

27:58

someone who is in charge of everything the choreographer as well in fact the

28:03

word that Greek word sounds like photographer okay so he who supplies the Holy Spirit to you and and the word

28:10

supplies present continuous tense he who is constantly supplying you the Holy

28:16

29:51

with all that Miracles means all right bang it happens to you

29:56

30:03

um his name is Marcel he's a good friend of mine he's a Dutch Buster when I first

30:09

preached in his church about 70 other people now he has thousands and uh Marcel shares

30:15

by the way this testimony I'm about to share with you is also in destined to Reign right Marcel shares that one day

30:20

he was on his way to Romania to preach and he has some friends behind him he was driving the car and he was listening

30:25

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

30:32

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

30:38

been suffering for a number of years ever since he had he was involved in a jet ski accident

30:45

he hurt his back and uh you know he was in pain on and off on and off and and he

30:50

was in pain that particular time on the way to Romania and and Master was listening to my to my preaching and the

30:56

guy said he was at the back and he was listening to something I said while he was like semi-conscious and

31:03

when he heard it in his heart he says amen bang everything left and never came

31:08

back all the pain left now that is a miracle

31:14

amen didn't come from Pastor Prince I'm just the delivery boy you know I I I I'm

31:19

the boy that brings the bread to you amen God is the one who supplies the spirit God is the one who works the

31:25

Miracles amen so God what the miracle as he was what hearing he wasn't even working in fact he was lazy

31:33

but he was hearing and God was healing you see now what is

31:39

not Miracle is that you go to a chiropractor all right and the chiropractor

31:44

okay come back next week appointment and you gotta pay and all that right thank God for chiropractor again they relieve

31:50

your pain thank God for them okay no problem then come back again you always get out of whack so they have

31:56

to crack your back because you uncracked yourself always you know or you crack yourself then they uncrack you which is

32:02

weird anyway uh so you go back and they crack you hit crack your back again okay your socket is back and all that but you

32:08

always have to go back you know what I'm saying uh but God's way is Miracles God works miracles this is a million amen

32:15

billion dollar no pricing they put on it on this verse it tells you how God works

32:21

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

32:28

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

32:35

hearing of faith and we have lost it

32:41

we've lost it whether it is married life

32:47

whether it is I don't care what is it there is this testimony that we received

32:54

recently from a sister from LA married for 10 years my husband and I have three beautiful sons I was raised

33:01

to have faith love Jesus and live right I did my best to do those things but I always felt that God has something more

33:07

in store for me while pregnant with our third son I was introduced to Pastor Prince sermons and the message of God's

33:12

grace immediately resonated in my spirit however six days before delivering our third son I found out that my husband

33:18

had a pornography addiction and had not been faithful to me wow what a blow it's a long sermon a long sharing so I'm

33:24

going to cut it short all right she said we began watching Pastor princess TV program together

33:33

now one thing I I I'm a bit jealous about is that you know Pastor Lawrence

33:38

was here just now Pastor Lawrence and Daniel and those are with me when they go for my book signing in America and we

33:43

have done this a number of places a number of times already uh the first time around and just last few months I

33:50

always hear them saying this when they come the eyes are full of tears and can always tell those why always watching

33:55

and hearing their eyes are full of glory and their face are full of glory and the eyes sparkle

34:01

always and you know what many of them said you can ask Pastor Lawrence he was there to hear Pastor Daniel as well they

34:06

always say you know Pastor Prince I watch your sermons all the time

34:12

many of them not few quite a number of them said I watched you morning noon and

34:18

night and I tell them I don't even watch and listen to my stuff that often they said that because it comes on in

34:25

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

34:30

they get me every day on TV and they record down and they watch it some of them and they I come on often

34:37

they are watching and hearing me every day in my own church

34:45

because they have me here every week they say Sunday is not ready

34:52

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

34:58

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

35:05

amen whereas I want the same thing to happen to you and many of them that come

35:10

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

35:15

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

35:21

many of them many of them will share how when they are listening they get healed

35:26

I would say I was this I was that I was hearing you God's word you're preaching about this bang I got healed

35:33

and and I began to feel jealous for all of you

35:39

and the thing is this

35:47

that is the culture it is not like I'm saying that everyone is doing this but but you know if God

35:53

get me to preach on this that means many of you you think there's really no need to be hearing you know just listen once a

36:00

while okay even those who know about the importance of Mary's posture compared to a matter have forgotten the importance

36:05

of hearing and I'm jealous for you I want you blessed you'll be surprised just by hearing you

36:12

are being transformed from glory to glory I mean are you listening people

36:19

amen as you know that woman at the issue of blood how did her Miracle happen we all say

36:26

well she touched the Hem of Jesus garments and she was healed and Jesus turned around and yeah that's fine but how did she receive I always want to

36:31

know how oh by the way let me finish this

36:37

so they say that we began watching Pastor Prince their their marriage is in

36:42

trouble the husband is in in pornography we began watching Pastor princess TD

36:48

program together studying the Bible and praying together we also read the power of right belitting book these resources have

36:55

helped us accept the forgiveness and healing that our wonderful God has for us our family is much more connected now

37:00

and we have much less stress because of God's love my husband was instantly delivered from his addiction and is

37:06

becoming a more amazing husband and father every day we see ourselves as the righteous of God

37:12

in Christ and fully embrace the truth that sin no longer has the meaning over us all right their marriage is back

37:17

together the husband is completely delivered okay that's the thing but it doesn't really matter whatever your need

37:22

is whether it's healing I'm focused on healing because it's more dramatic it is more tangible it's more visible but it

37:27

can happen any area a businessman having financial troubles all right what do you do your mind is perplexed with worry and

37:34

care it's best you pump yourself keep on hearing God's word keep on hearing God's word during your break time as you go to

37:40

eat or listen to God's word on the way there as you are eating listen to God's word if no one is with you you know listen to God's word amen listen to

37:46

God's word sometimes when I can't sleep at night all right my sleeping pill is that I

37:54

have a little X-Men combo uh kind of like a speaker and I put it on real

37:59

soft all right enough to hear now I sleep okay now he will keep on playing through

38:06

the night then middle of the night I wake up because usually when it's a bad sleep I'll wake up and when I wake up usually

38:13

I have negative thoughts negative imaginations negative uh feelings you know fear whatever when I wake up I hear

38:20

something usually such a pinpoint word thank God I wake up today

38:26

and I sleep again there's something soothing about my voice and voices that I hear they put me to

38:32

sleep amen I I I I need to hear my sermon as well and I'll tell you something okay when I

38:37

watch my sermon sometimes I say I say that I say wow that that's so good

38:43

when I I watch my sermon again I said that is so good because when I'm preaching up here I'm not just Joseph

38:49

Prince I'm God's representative and God spirit will transcend my human

38:54

weakness and all that and have me speak as the Oracles of God so that I myself

38:59

the chef needs to eat his own food because I need to leave as well amen I

39:04

need to to be fat are you listening people amen don't let this go don't let the

39:11

devil rob you of this and the way he does in our modern world is that he distracts you with so many things your

39:17

spot for choice and they say okay great great all right it's fine you want you want religious stuff okay all right we got a lot of religious stuff on online

39:24

as well you see you get all this stuff then you click here you click that click that click that you're confused

39:30

because you're not eating the house food it's okay to hear other speakers but make sure you get

39:36

your DNA from the house Grace Revolution Church

39:41

New Creation Church and all those who are following my teaching can I go to amen all right you get very

39:47

confused how did a woman in the issue of blood get healed how she touched the hand of

39:53

His Garment yeah but what did she say after that before that I believe if a touch I can be made whole

40:00

what made us say that well let's read the Bible says now a certain woman Mark 5 had a flow of blood for 12 years she

40:07

was suffering a hammerage for 12 years

40:12

I didn't receive my healing I asked God for healing healing and I took my communion so many times and all

40:17

how long has it been one year already I have a year already they they call me like I'm the Healer

40:23

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

40:29

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

40:36

how many times have I say that to you amen but they complain now this woman has been suffering for 12 years y'all

40:44

12 years by then the third year some people say

40:50

well yes God doesn't heal today the fifth year they come about Doctrine why God doesn't heal

40:57

even here they join a church that says Miracles are over look at this woman she's been suffering

41:03

hemorrhage for 12 years 12 years and has suffered many things from many Physicians

41:10

their experiment on her the Bible says she suffered went to many doctors she had spent all

41:16

that she had it means what not only is she sick she's broke she spent all that she had

41:22

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

41:30

heard when she heard that's where the miracle began

41:36

amen she heard about Jesus she heard about Jesus that he heals today I don't

41:43

think she heard that you know she's Jesus heals but you know Miracles are over

41:48

he just healed the last one in Galilee uh my lottery didn't come in the guy got

41:54

healed you know it's like it's not the kind of thing she heard she hurt a loving savior

42:00

she heard the king of kindliness the Lord of loveliness and the prince of

42:06

princeliness and how loving he is that made her say if I just Touch the

42:11

Hem of His Garment I shall be made whole

42:17

and she was healed it all began with when she heard and in those days they

42:22

don't have television they don't have have laptops they don't have your your iPhones Androids

42:32

what excuse do we have in those days they can't bring the preacher around you know

42:40

you can bring me anywhere can you bring me to the toilet

42:45

and I'll be with you regardless of how the atmosphere is I'll

42:52

still be with you I got nowhere to run if you drop your little eye Nano

42:58

I am I am swimming in the

43:04

in the broth of your making I promise you I will not complain

43:12

amen you can hear me talking all day long and I'll never get a sore throat what excuse

43:17

the weep in the 21st century have no wonder the 21st century Christians

43:23

will be stronger than all the centuries put together it's supposed to be that way

43:28

and yet why

43:34

why to Rob us of time instead of more time these things are supposed to you have all these things to help you save

43:40

time but instead you've lost time

43:47

one of the biggest complaints we went I don't have time gadgets everywhere nose everywhere in

43:53

the hair you know everywhere it's all Gadget one day you look at them they'll come to you hello

43:59

now I have time

44:04

all these things supposed to be helping us save time redeem time can I have a good

44:10

amen acts 14 look at this this man and uh Paul and Barnabas were preaching

44:17

the gospel there and in lystra by the way I've been to lystra it is now in in uh turkey amen I was there a few years

44:25

ago and it's a very interesting place a certain man was without strength and his feet was sitting a from his

44:32

mother's womb a creeper from his mother's womb now which doctor wants to undertake that not many

44:38

all right a sounds like he needs from his mother's womb a miracle

44:46

he was sitting there who had never walked not even as a child from his mother's

44:53

womb okay how do you solve a problem like that somebody said we just had to accept it

44:59

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

45:06

this man hurt Paul speaking by the way the word hurt and the great is in the

45:13

present continuous sorry uh imperfect tense imperfect means he kept on hearing

45:19

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

45:24

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

45:31

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

45:38

instead of a loud voice stand up straight on your feet and he leap and walked never walked before

45:45

creep up from his mother's womb in once one one blow

45:52

one swipe he jumped and walked it's a year of walking

45:59

and possessing the man walked now the thing is this

46:05

we all like verse 10 we all want to see that happen to our loved one where the

46:10

tumor disappears gone like what we heard just now where the disease is no more there we want we won verse 10 we want

46:16

that result but look at that before that happens verse 9 says Paul saw that he had Faith

46:23

this man had faith to be healed but there were other people listening one but this man the Holy

46:31

Spirit he had Faith to be healed why why did he have faith to be healed we all know that we need Faith to receive from

46:36

God Amen the one of the biggest complains I don't have faith like Caleb like Joshua you know no friend Faith you

46:44

don't have faith faith cometh cometh you don't have faith faith cometh

46:58

coming coming faith cometh by hearing stop complaining you don't

47:04

have faith start hearing faith when looked upon takes wings and

47:12

fly God's word when you are hearing impart's faith

47:19

faith when you look upon it it flies away don't look at Faith look at Jesus and Faith remains

47:25

no before his Miracle we all want a miracle but take one step back before the miracle he had Faith to be healed how

47:33

come he had Faith to be healed this man heard Paul speaking the word heard there's what he kept on hearing

47:41

present sorry uh imperfect tense but active voice he kept on hearing now what

47:47

does that mean maybe Paul preached the same sermon in the same place and people come to carry him no no leave me alone I

47:53

want to hear again I want to hear again I want to hear again because in those days they don't have iPod they don't have all these things so they have to

48:00

hear again or maybe Paul pushed somewhere else change location and he'll tell his friends carry me there carry me

48:06

there he kept on hearing

48:12

how come I'm not here Pastor Prince how come I'm not he kept on hearing

48:19

okay so the miracle how did America happen he had Faith to be healed how come he had

48:26

Faith to be healed he kept on hearing all right what did he hear next question

48:32

all right go back again they will preach Paul and Banners were preaching the gospel there

48:39

now here is where some people say well we also preach the gospel not everyone that says they preaching gospel is

48:45

preaching the gospel all right would you like to know what's the gospel

48:50

I'm going to tell you anyway this is verse 7 right acts 14 verse 7 just four verses before this it tells

48:57

you what they were preaching go back four verses therefore Paul and Barnabas stayed there a long time speaking

49:02

bullying the Lord who was bearing witness to the word of his grace granting signs and wonders to be done by

49:11

their hands what was the Gospel that Paul preached the word of his grace

49:18

what did God do to the word of his grace God was bearing witness granting signs

49:25

and wonders to what the word of his grace when Grace is preached make sure the sermon you are hearing and I know

49:32

this house I think is full of grace

49:38

that's why I I I I cannot speak for certain

49:43

of who you are hearing whether the person has the same thing it was everyone will say we are preaching the gospel and you hardly hear Grace

49:50

sometimes see God God God's word is very clear in

49:55

the passage the context context is changed it's preaching the gospel what's the gospel the word of his grace and

50:00

what was God doing he's granting signs to witness the word of his grace well well Pastor Prince I I just don't

50:07

believe the kind of Grace that you teach well what's the kind of Grace I teach you tell people that their sins are

50:13

forgiven without telling them to repent okay and you tell them that they're no longer under law and yet they are

50:19

righteous in Christ okay now you accuse me of all that I must answer right

50:25

okay this acts 14 right so what what kind of word of his grace did Paul and Barnabas preach I'm so glad

50:32

this is x14 the chapter before this is acts 13 and in Acts 13 we have a whole

50:39

word forward documentation of what Paul preach

50:44

would you like to see it and let's see what Paul preached we're going to see the whole thing we just have to see the

50:49

climax the foot the final part Paul wasn't synagogue and Paul said this therefore to all the people in the synagogue let

50:55

it be known to you that through this man Jesus Christ is preached to you the

51:01

Forgiveness of sins now wait a minute Paul wait a minute you you you didn't say repent wait wait wait wait wait you

51:08

must make sure that they repent before you say they are foreign it's not a church hey Paul how do you

51:14

know these people uh uh are taking your your sermon in the right Spirit you just said that by this man is preaching you

51:19

the Forgiveness of sins how can you tell that you must qualify your sermon you must uh you must put a barriers then and

51:26

fences so that they don't abuse it how can you just say it in a full unqualified way that they are forgiven

51:32

through Jesus Christ Paul obviously knew something these people don't Paul knew if he proclaimed a full

51:39

unqualified gospel he will produce repentance without even having to preach repentance

51:47

so is your pastor cannabis in line with four how about the next one Paul says to them

51:53

and by him by G

52:02

just from how many things from all things from which you could not be

52:08

justified by the law of Moses so let's put them all together

52:16

Paul preached the word of his grace which is very much like what Pastor Prince preaches

52:26

full and qualified does it mean everybody is safe in the world no you must believe but full

52:33

Proclamation full Proclamation will produce the result

52:38

of repentance Revelation and then people receive then not only that Paul also preached that we

52:45

are not justified by the law of Moses when we believe on

52:50

Jesus we are Justified from all things right that's the gospel he preached and that's

52:57

the gospel the crippled man hurt and that's the gospel that he received his miracle

53:04

so guess what's going to happen when you keep on hearing like the you might be crippled in your

53:09

relationship you might be crippled in your communication maybe you are shy very shy

53:15

maybe you're crippled emotionally yeah even from your mother's womb but

53:20

there's a miracle for you with your name on it but it comes to you when you're hearing not when you're working

53:27

does this help you amen no

53:33

I want to give you two more versatile close people listen look up here

53:38

sometimes what I'm preaching is not even relating to what you're

53:44

going through maybe I'm preaching on on parenting but you're going through a physical problem

53:50

maybe I'm preaching on on on on uh you know the rapture

53:56

and you are saying pastor my marriage is breaking apart If Only You Knew but friend this is the beauty of God's

54:03

word that when regardless of what you are listening when you listen to your sermon whatever you're listening people ask me

54:10

Pastor which CD shall I get what should I listen to when they go to assemble any of them is good

54:17

because you know why the phenomena of God's word is this in your life

54:22

Psalm say Psalm 36 with you is the founder with you God is the Fountain of Life in your light

54:30

we see light in other words all you need is when you're hearing gospel all of a sudden you get enlightened

54:36

when you are enlightened let's say for example I lost my pen I love my pen this pen particularly a

54:42

lot and I lost my pen in a room okay and the room is very dark I don't know the room is very cluttered with a

54:48

lot of boxes and things like that but I don't know I was in this room early on and my pen probably dropped somewhere now if I grew up in the dark

54:55

all right our group for a long time but what if I switch on the light

55:02

in the light I see my pen and not only my pen all of a sudden I see a book that I've lost for some time

55:09

in the light we see like even though the sermon is not about maybe you are in need in terms of your

55:15

parenting you know skills or whatever it is but all of a sudden I'm preaching on the rapture

55:21

and all of a sudden the light that comes on helps you see this is where I'm missing it God begins to speak in his

55:27

slide we see light have you had that experience before you sit down there or something like or just

55:34

a perspective hey I'm not worried about that anymore it seems so small and yet I'm not preaching about it

55:41

and it's like you know how the light comes Psalms 119 it says the entrance of your

55:47

words gives like it gives understanding to the simple

55:53

don't be simple be people of understanding that comes from God you know what gives like the

56:00

entrance and the Greek and the Hebrew word there is open the opening of God's word the

56:06

expounding of God's word that's what I'm doing right now I'm expounding God's word imagine you're hearing all day

56:12

you're driving your car you're listening the exposition of God's word you know what's happening light is coming light

56:19

is coming light is coming when your boss asks you for something or suddenly you have the idea why in his flight you see

56:24

light you see other things in the room that you don't even realize was lost

56:30

doesn't really matter what a subject is the subject may be on prayer but when you listen to it you receive light for

56:37

your relationship with your teenage boy all of a sudden you know what to do you see the problem in his light

56:44

we see light amen and his light comes by the expounding of God the entrance of God's

56:51

word keeps like last passage I'm gonna close have you ever met someone that they are prophetic like they whatever

56:56

you're going through they seem to like a brother or sister they seem to give you the right word or when they text you

57:01

right timing or they give you exactly the right word have you met people like that met people like that well I want you to

57:08

be people like that amen and the way the secret of it is this are close to this passage Isaiah

57:14

15. now Isaiah 50 says the Lord God has given me the tongue of the Leonard that

57:20

I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary

57:26

he awakens me morning by morning he awakens my ear to hear as a learner

57:31

1:06:28

John chapter 1 and the word became flesh you know if we can reach God God surely

1:06:35

can reach us if righteousness cannot be attained it can be obtained

1:06:41

praise the Lord so you know what God did God sent his son Jesus because man cannot reach God but God reach out to

1:06:47

man and God sent his son Jesus Christ and the word became flesh the Bible says in the beginning was the word and the

1:06:53

Word was with God and the Word was God and the word became flesh that's our lord Jesus and dwelt Among Us

1:07:01

and that's the story of Christmas which is around the corner do you find time flies really fast

1:07:08

I thought we were celebrating Christmas not too long going nice Christmas again make sure the everyday counts okay

1:07:14

people and the story of Christmas he dwelt among us to be

1:07:19

one of us to go through what we go through to sit where we set and to think

1:07:24

that God could have chosen any Palace for his son to be born in but God chose

1:07:29

a lowly Manger isn't that precious don't you think that the creator of the heavens and the Earth is a wonderful God

1:07:37

and he became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory the glory as of the only begotten of the father full of

1:07:44

grace and truth I love this full of what full of grace and truth Jesus came full

1:07:50

of grace and truth now that means what he was full of unearned and deserved

1:07:56

favor for all of us if you're a sinner and Jesus walked past you you can touch him and receive whatever you need if you

1:08:02

are sick in your body and Jesus passes by you can reach out and receive from him anybody even though you don't

1:08:08

deserve that healing is for people who don't deserve and because Grace is for the undeserving

1:08:15

unworthy all of us qualify can I have a good amen you know today there is there is a a a a sort of like

1:08:23

the devil is very subtle what he does is that if he cannot take away grace and grace is too uh too uh prevalent right

1:08:31

now there's a revolution all over the world of Grace and all the voices that Apostles Grace uh God has caused you to

1:08:37

become weaker and weaker amen voices that promote Grace have become stronger and stronger and is of God and because

1:08:43

God wants the glory to go to his son Jesus Christ and what has happened is that the devil knows he cannot win over

1:08:49

Grace so what he does is he tried to redefine Grace okay and Grace that was taught even by

1:08:58

of course from the scriptures and then by the Patriarchs the early church fathers and all that when they Define

1:09:04

grace as unmerited favor is now Twisted to be a new form of law in other words

1:09:10

Grace becomes like or Grace is a Divine influence in a man's heart that a man

1:09:16

must learn to how to flow with it and things like in other words it's back to your works oh they say grace is an empowerment all

1:09:24

right now Grace produces Divine influence Grace produces empowerment but

1:09:29

Grace itself is not all these things what is Grace it's unearned unmerited

1:09:35

undeserved favor that produces empowerment that produces Divine influence so the devil tried to put to

1:09:42

bring the the effects of Grace into his definition tasks when you're starting my

1:09:47

goodness why why is Grace not working in my life I must do something I must have been doing something strong or some

1:09:53

things uh not right or whatever it is that's why Grace is not flowing the moment you think that way somebody has

1:09:58

redefined Grace for you Hey listen if you don't think you deserve it that's the time Grace will find you

1:10:05

amen but the problem is that when we feel we have done something wrong we don't deserve it that's the last thing we want to do to reach out and receive

1:10:12

God's blessings somehow we still have this belief that when we fail when we are committed a a sin all right we are

1:10:19

in God's bad books all right God's God's uh this favor so the last thing we want

1:10:25

to do is to reach out at that time and receive our Miracle receive our healing receive God's goodness we feel we don't

1:10:31

deserve it the very attitude tells tells me we still don't understand Grace

1:10:37

so where can we find the true definition of Grace because Jesus is full of grace and truth you know Grace and Truth

1:10:44

literally means true Grace and I've defined in a verse 17 later on

1:10:49

we see grace and truth came by Jesus Christ and it's not two separate things Grace and Truth literally means true

1:10:54

Grace like you will say butter bread you don't say butter and bread

1:10:59

buttered bread so Grace and Truth is one all right let's drop down uh and of his

1:11:04

fullness we have all received and Grace for grace of his fullness we have all received of Jesus fullness we have all

1:11:12

received and Grace for grace and the word for Grace is the word empty in the

1:11:18

great which means in place of if something is uh empty like Antichrist

1:11:24

is in place of Christ amen so Grace why this is a Grace anti-grace in other

1:11:31

words when one supply of Grace is exhausted there's another Supply coming in its place when there is used up

1:11:37

another comes soon after amen Supply Grace for Grace literally is true Grace

1:11:44

upon Grace upon Grace upon Grace upon Grace hallelujah amen every time you use up a

1:11:51

grace of God there's somehow Grace coming to fill his place amen that's the fullness of Jesus can I have a good amen

1:11:57

and then he says for the law was given to Moses but Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ my favorite verse

1:12:03

all right I always always use this verse to open up anywhere I go it's my favorite verse because for me that verse

1:12:10

really opens up my eyes to seek what's Grace and what is the law notice even what God separates man does not man

1:12:18

separates Grace and Truth when God puts Grace and Truth together truth is on the side of Grace

1:12:24

God separates the law on one side and Grace and Truth together on the other side What man does they don't even talk

1:12:30

about the law all right they come and try to separate Grace and Truth and they say grace is yes and unfavor

1:12:36

but truth is plus the god truth is the heart heart truth amen but you know what God has joined

1:12:42

together let no man put asunder God separates the law From Grace and Truth Jesus told the Pharisees this day

1:12:49

you shall know the truth the truth of what Grace because they knew the law already

1:12:54

are you with me okay so here Jesus brought true Grace again verse 14 he

1:13:00

came full of grace and truth that's why the prostitutes the Sinners the tax collectors the social outcasts could

1:13:08

touch Jesus and receive their Miracle receive their healing whereas the Pharisees that trust in their own

1:13:14

goodness could not receive from Jesus amen his father what undeserving he's

1:13:20

full of grace for the undeserving and unmeriting that's all

1:13:26

amen so if you can understand Grace in your in your weakest moment in the

1:13:32

moment that you have just failed you can reach out and receive your miracle praise be to God oh Hallelujah

1:13:38

we find that hard to believe because we we were raised in a philosophy of

1:13:44

you know if you behave you will receive your candy all right if you behave that he will buy you this toy all right we

1:13:51

will raise in a society and this all over the world it's not just true in Singapore it's all over the world right

1:13:56

it's prevalent that we we study hard we get Stars right in kindergarten we study

1:14:02

hard we get uh this result in you know and and and a better class or better

1:14:07

esteem from your friends and and appreciation from people and and we we

1:14:12

work for the approval so here God comes and God says you don't have to work for it I'm going to give it to you free

1:14:18

and we say how much is it God you see we still don't understand amen and we are insulting God when someone tries to give

1:14:24

you give you a gift and uh you say how much is it you are trying to earn something that is freely given and

1:14:29

you're robbing The Giver of his Joy you're robbing The Giver of his Joy

1:14:35

are you listening Church all right so what is happening all over the world is that be careful

1:14:42

there are people there are voices teaching another Jesus that is not full of grace and truth

1:14:48

another gospel that is not the gospel of grace so for us to redefine Grace all

1:14:54

right don't come and tell me what this man of God says and what that man of God says let's go back to the Bible all

1:14:59

right Romans 11 verse 6 and if by grace if it's by Grace then it is no longer of

1:15:07

Works otherwise Grace is no longer Grace no but if that works

1:15:14

is no longer of Grace otherwise works is no more works can you see the contrast

1:15:19

it's very simple it's like the Holy Spirit helps us understand in a very sinful way we don't need men's

1:15:25

definition we need God's Own definition God is saying if you earn it it's no more by grace

1:15:31

all right now if you work for it you cannot say it's Grace all right if you say receive it by Grace

1:15:37

it's not your works so they are both mutually exclusive

1:15:42

they cannot go together any more than oil and water can go together are you with me you understand all right so the

1:15:49

definition must be what unmerited favor undeserved favor and that's why my second book I put on my title unmerited

1:15:56

favor because that's the definition of Grace now it will Empower you to go and sin no more it will Empower you to live

1:16:02

the Abundant Life it'll Empower you to be a blessing to many people Amen to the whole world but the thing is

1:16:08

this it produces us this empowerment it produces the Divine influence but it is

1:16:13

not Divine influence it is not empowerment it is unmerited favor okay are you with me

1:16:19

no today I want to share with you something about this tsunami of Grace that is coming our way and there's one

1:16:27

verse that has been misunderstood because of the the old King James way of

1:16:34

putting it and I want to show you this this verse because and you tell me whether you've misunderstood this person or and it's important that we understand

1:16:41

accurately what the Bible is saying because for years we've had from the pulpit this being preached about right

1:16:47

living right living you know character character right living and there's still very little right living why because

1:16:53

Christianity is not about right living it's about right believing that produces right living

1:16:59

all right so we're going to make sure that every time we preach people are changing their minds they are repenting

1:17:06

they are used to think this way now they think this way amen think the Bible Way so it's every time you think the Bible

1:17:12

Way you get God kind of results in your life amen many people in the very same

1:17:18

day even when they believe right or they repent they change their mind of believing wrong not their belief right

1:17:23

bam on the same day the blessings flow amen Pastor Mark remembers of the time

1:17:29

when I was with him in Israel we were in this bus and we had a special guy who was a Messianic believer but he didn't

1:17:36

believe that God wants to bless you even materially and financially he didn't believe that so I told Pastor Mark to

1:17:42

share his testimony of his own life and when he was in business and all that and at the end of the whole thing I shared

1:17:47

with her that guide what the scripture says about prosperity and all that and all of a sudden you can see the the

1:17:53

shift in his mind he started believing that God is a good God God wants to prosper him and you know what happened

1:18:00

next thing you know he received a call a long distance call from the States you remember that Mom and he picked up the

1:18:05

phone and says you know something so the the guy says the guy says you know what for a few months I've not received a

1:18:11

call like this and this here's a call from someone in Texas saying he's bringing a whole bunch of people all

1:18:17

right and wants me to be the guy which means income for him the very same day he believed he received a call that he

1:18:23

never received for months you remember the one all right it was an amazing experience and I thought for myself that

1:18:29

many times even before you walk out the door bang something happens to you why you're starting to believe right

1:18:34

amen church now let's look at this verse in second Corinthians chapter 9 it says and God is able let's all read

1:18:41

together shall we and God is able to make all grace abound towards you that

1:18:47

you always having all sufficiency in all things may have an abundance for every

1:18:53

good work now how many want to have god making all Grace all favor

1:19:01

abound towards you how many won that father take down notes how many won that

1:19:07

all those that's watching amen you want that yes we all want that amen al-mama didn't raise no fool

1:19:14

right now how many one that you always good times bad times

1:19:20

downturns up turns always means what always that you always

1:19:27

having how much all sufficiency how many things in all things may have an abundance for

1:19:34

every good work wow that's a mouthful isn't it God wants all favor to abound towards

1:19:39

you that you always good times and bad times having all sufficiency in all things may have an abundance for every

1:19:47

good work amen so it's very very clear that God wants you to abound in Grace so that you

1:19:53

can be a blessing you're gonna have an abundance for every good work how can we bless uh uh uh the schools in Thailand

1:20:01

which we are about to go one of this uh um visits I'll just it's gonna minister

1:20:07

to some people in Thailand some children in Thailand now how can we go we don't have the money to go

1:20:12

how can we build them a school we don't have the money to build how can we bring Provisions for them without a mind so

1:20:17

God wants you to have an abundance for every good work so this this is crucial that God wants all favor to abound

1:20:24

towards you that you always have all sufficiency right got it but the problem is this when you read this verse in the

1:20:30

King James or even new King James it says and God is able to make to make is what future tense of present tense

1:20:39

a class God is able to make his future tense of

1:20:45

past tense or present present tense someone said no to make his future attempts

1:20:51

God is able to make right when you read this it says what future tense isn't it

1:20:57

God is able to make now once you put something in future tense you're never really sure that

1:21:02

it is true for you now am I right now it says what and God is able now how

1:21:09

many not God is able everyone knows God is able at least everyone in there right minor you know

1:21:16

we all know God is able but the thing is that do we do we believe he will that's another thing God is able to heal but

1:21:23

will he God is able to prosper you but will he God is able to turn your night into day

1:21:29

but will he so the question is not God is able all right we all believe that but is he willing to that's what happens

1:21:37

when you read this kind of verse and God is able but notice that is there is an italics

1:21:43

whenever you see italics all right words in italics in the in your Bible that means it was added there it's not in the

1:21:49

original Greek okay and that ought to raise a bit of a red flag when you study the Bible now if

1:21:56

you read the whole thing in the Greek all right the word able is the word

1:22:02

dinatos which comes from the word Greek word do not miss from where we get our

1:22:07

English word Dynamite boom Dynamite okay Abel is literally

1:22:15

power you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you the word that's

1:22:20

do not miss all right the word here is from the same word dunamis so God is able but in the tense in the Greek tense

1:22:28

the word able is actually in the present active indicative now you don't have to

1:22:35

be a Greek scholar to understand all this all right present active means what it is happening even right now

1:22:43

continuously all right present active acting means what God is actively doing

1:22:49

it indicative the word indicative is is a in the great means it is a mood of

1:22:56

reality it is a reality that's happening right now depending on whether it's future or present here it is present

1:23:03

it's a a present right now reality what does that mean so remove the future

1:23:10

tense it's no more future attempts because every time you read and God is able to make you wish that all these

1:23:15

promises is they are true in your life but because it says God is able to make future tense there's always like you

1:23:22

know a remote possibility it won't happen to you but if I tell you in the Greek it is not future tense in the

1:23:29

Greek it's present active indicative it's gonna blow you away man you know

1:23:34

what it's saying actually you're not it's saying this in the Greek all right this Joseph Prince version

1:23:39

and God literally a present active means continuously enabling all Grace to

1:23:46

abound towards you continuous Demand right now God is causing all favor all

1:23:52

Grace to abound towards you right now right now even as I speak

1:23:58

right now all favor all Grace is abounding towards you amen that you always have all

1:24:05

sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work so in the present active indicative the Greek verb literally

1:24:12

tells us this is indicative means it's a reality that is happening right now

1:24:17

and that's why we should have removed the italics as well as the future tense of the Old King James and put down

1:24:24

literally God is continuously powering up dynamiting all Grace towards you God

1:24:29

is literally enabling all Grace to flow towards you cool huh

1:24:37

and if you look at the context Grace can apply to overcoming sin healing for your body

1:24:43

up the operations of the gifts of the Holy Spirit all right but Grace is also to make sure

1:24:50

that you are well supplied you are blessed you prosper Yes you

1:24:56

heard me right Prosper I want to say that in a church prosperity

1:25:02

amen and people tell you are you from the church that preacher's Prosperity say Amen guilty

1:25:09

guilty as church amen we are not from a poverty church when we prosperous church amen you know the new age people are not

1:25:16

scared to say Prosperity why should we Our God you know our God is a prosperous

1:25:23

God and the people that follow him they should be broke sick depressed

1:25:29

what kind of testimony is that is God ever sick is God ever broke God is sorry

1:25:36

and today the sun cannot shine because we are we are uh controlling the kind of amount of electricity and heat that's

1:25:42

generated all right it's downturn so I turned down the Sun

1:25:47

God is never never have you ever worshiped God and and you hear a screech in heaven uh uh Angel Gabriel's voice

1:25:54

went out all the Angels cannot participate because they have they have a stripped

1:26:01

throat or or sore throat or whatever huh no God there's no sickness in heaven even

1:26:08

those who are both healing they will agree that when you go to heaven there's no sickness there then why come why why why can we believe

1:26:15

that it's God's will for us to prosper and be healthy now when Jesus says thy will be done on

1:26:22

Earth as it is in heaven what does it mean that means what Prosperity there Prosperity here Health there Health here

1:26:28

as it is in heaven amen come on church so you know what don't worry about people who are still

1:26:34

coming against Prosperity or Grace Just shine just Prosper just be full of grace

1:26:40

amen you know you hold your life back because of one person amen keep on prospering praise the Lord have you

1:26:45

noticed that people who preach a lot of our prosperity they prosper

1:26:50

for example and uh you know he he just became a pastor in 1997 and uh I think

1:26:57

around there his father died and he took over he's not even a preacher and now he's the largest church and God is prospering you his message God is good

1:27:04

God wants to prosper you you know I mean you know he just he just believes it and

1:27:10

you know what God honors it because you believe it he's prospering his life is prospering his personal life is

1:27:16

prospering his ministry is prospering his church is prospering amen and that's the true the same thing for our church we believe in it we believe in God's

1:27:23

goodness we see God's goodness we believe God is God is gracious we see God's grace in our church so when people

1:27:28

say I don't believe it Hey listen all right your unbelief won't stop the promises in my life from manifesting but

1:27:36

he may stop yours and I can't help you you know because

1:27:41

always remember it has its own penalty built-in penalty when you don't believe it it's for me and my house we don't

1:27:46

believe God is good God is good amen praise God hallelujah all right

1:27:55

so right now even as I speak God is dynamiting all Grace towards you can you handle it he's dynamiting all Grace

1:28:02

towards you what you need to do is open up your heart and receive it believe it it's happening ever since Jesus died

1:28:07

when Jesus cried in Hebrew you know finish the the tsunami of God's grace

1:28:14

was Unleashed God's been waiting man but the Bible says that came a sound from Heaven as a rushing Mighty Wind even the

1:28:20

Holy Spirit Will rushed he's been waiting man I've been waiting I'm sorry uh that's not like him he's been waiting

1:28:26

to fill you up amen and God rushes to bless you God rushes to fill you God rushes to sanctify God rushes to give

1:28:33

you the Abundant Life yeah oh man I feel good amen

1:28:40

now so someone will say well past the prince if this is true if God is powering all

1:28:47

Grace towards me he is continuously enabling all Grace to abound towards me why is it I'm not saying all sufficiency

1:28:55

in all things why good question for additional tape copies please write

1:29:01

okay now why is that true why why well the thing is this number one we have

1:29:07

very very flesh conscious we are materialistic conscious we are a people that goes by sight

1:29:12

all right since we're young we do not know God's ways God's ways is what ways of faith

1:29:18

now what God is saying is like this listen look up here some some people teach Faith like this

1:29:24

and it's Error it's not accurate some people teach faith when you have enough

1:29:29

faith it will effect it will produce what you want that's how they teach it now that's

1:29:36

wrong now Bible faith is this Bible faith is open up your spiritual eyes

1:29:42

to see what God is already doing in your life amen it is not you believe long enough

1:29:51

the healing will be there no open your eyes to see that healing is all over you and start thanking God that you are

1:29:57

healed amen that's faith faith is defined in Hebrews 11 verse 1. now Faith is the substance of things hoped for the

1:30:04

evidence of things not seen one translation says faith substantiates the

1:30:10

invisible in other words right now you can't see all favor bounding towards me you can

1:30:15

see all favor bounding towards you but if you have faith you will say thank you Father thank you Father I receive it amen even

1:30:22

though your pocket right now you don't have uh even ten dollars for example if you thank God that all favors are

1:30:28

bounding towards you God will do miracles because everything works by faith now again I repeat Faith doesn't mean your

1:30:35

you have faith you make the thing real no it is already real in The Invisible

1:30:40

realm your faith substantiates what is real in your life

1:30:47

okay actually this is how we need to repent our minds are so lopsided all right so upside down

1:30:53

that we think if I can see it that means it's real God says in fact in second

1:30:59

Corinthians 4 it tells you everything you can see is temporal what you can see is eternal right now

1:31:06

there are angels around us you can see them you know why angels are eternal you can't see my spirit I can't see your

1:31:12

spirit you know why our Spirits are eternal you can see my body I can see your body but you know something our bodies are

1:31:17

not eternal Apostle Prince I thought we were going to heaven no you go to heaven in a new body

1:31:22

not this bad looking one in a good looking one amen amen they will never grow old never die

1:31:30

so whatever you can see this chair can you see this chair you're sitting on all right you know why you can see it it's

1:31:35

temporal whatever you can touch you can see is temporal what you can see

1:31:41

what is invisible is eternal now that is opposite of the way the

1:31:47

world thinks the world thinks it can if I can feel it I can touch it I hold that thousand dollar note in my hand

1:31:54

then I believe I'm prosperous that's how the world sees it and you need to repent

1:32:02

you need to repent change your mind to believe if I can see it it means temporal no I don't I don't

1:32:10

need to see it that which is invisible is eternal amen

1:32:16

you see Jesus lived this way when you see a man with withered hand he

1:32:21

didn't say wow very withered all right he looked at the hand and say

1:32:28

stretch from your hand you don't tell someone whose hand is withered so stretch forth your hands unless you see

1:32:34

something that no one else sees you see a lot of Grace because he came to the person he's not full of grace full of

1:32:40

undeserved favor for that person he just stretched off your hand your your provision is here

1:32:45

your healing is here amen it will affect the way you talk it

1:32:51

will affect the way you you you spend money it will affect the way you

1:32:56

live life the word sheep won't be there anymore and I'm not saying you go out and just

1:33:02

you know Splurge money on things that you're irresponsible I'm not saying that either what I'm saying is I don't have this Spirit the small Spirit that's what

1:33:09

I'm saying once you know this truth it's gonna cost you this truth has got to do with money let me show you the contact these uh uh seven nine look at seven the

1:33:17

verse before and the verse after it says Let each one give as he purpose in his heart why God loves the cheerful

1:33:23

Giver it's not about getting here and then God is able to make all Grace that verse we study just now and then the

1:33:28

verse after that in this Divine sandwich we see he has dispersed abroad he has given to the poor his righteousness and

1:33:35

yours forever that's a gift of righteousness then yours forever again the context is what it's about your provision it's about material things

1:33:42

it's about money mm-hmm that means what having all sufficiency

1:33:47

in all things has got to do is also with money no if you don't want to prosper beyond

1:33:53

your wildest dreams don't put up your hands in the next few seconds okay I just want to ask you this because God is

1:33:59

taking down notes how many of you want to always have all sufficiency in all

1:34:04

things so you can have abundance for every good work all right are you sure

1:34:10

because Jesus says there is persecution with prosperity
