00:00today with Joseph Prince every time you
00:03come to the lord it's as if when you
00:04take from him the more you take from him
00:09reinvigorated it's the opposite of man
00:12the more you take from man man the more
00:14tired depleted the man becomes but Jesus
00:16the more you take from him the more he
00:20it believe that the Lord is ever ready
00:24every day amen to serve you we have this
00:28impression a religious impression
00:30that the Lord is there for us to serve
00:32the Lord is there for us to pour on the
00:34Lord is there for us to give to the Lord
00:36is there for let me tell you this we act
00:38like we are full we act like we are rich
00:41we act like we have everything no friend
00:45he has everything he is Rich he is the
00:48full full one he is the complete one
00:50amen we come empty and we receive from
00:53him what can we give unless we first
00:56receive so when he comes to us he wants
00:59us to take this humble attitude and
01:01what's the attitude to learn to be like
01:03a child to receive he says I did not
01:05come to be served I came to serve but
01:09will you allow him to serve you so
01:11that's how the the the story opens up
01:14and then it says then Jesus and his
01:16Entourage that followed there was a
01:18great multitude that followed Jesus
01:19because they were on their way to
01:21Jerusalem for the celebration of the
01:23Passover this will be the final week for
01:26Jesus this coming week and he's on his
01:29way to the cross and it's the next week
01:32he'll be on the cross so imagine he went
01:34to this city of the curse the city of
01:36Jericho and before that he says I came
01:39not to be served but to serve you think
01:42about it if the Lord wants to be served
01:43do you know he has myriads of angels
01:46compared to us do you know Angels don't
01:49get tired serving him their voices don't
01:52get rpy they don't sing
01:55Hallelujah they can sing Hallelujah
01:57forever amen I mean they they are
02:00greater than Spider-Man than Iron Man
02:03than any other man that you know Marvel
02:05Comics can come up with you know I mean
02:08they they don't get tired if God just
02:10wants to be served he has he has myriads
02:17him but the Lord made man L he made
02:20everything on this Earth and he made men
02:22L why God made man to receive everything
02:26that he has made and created and
02:28provided so that man becomes the
02:32beneficiary and and all God wants from
02:34man's part is to be thankful to him amen
02:37worship Him and praise
02:42amen the the the problem is that uh you
02:44know we we think that sometime we put
02:47oursel in the place of God and we judge
02:49God we we see ourself as a Critic of the
02:51Bible no friend the Bible Judges
02:54us we cannot judge the Bible we are no
02:58judge of God God judged Jes us but the
03:01thing is that this wonderful God who is
03:03also a judge because what I mean if God
03:06is not a judge if God's word is not
03:08final if he not righteous if he not holy
03:10this whole universe will crumble if man
03:13sin and God says you know what boys will
03:15be boys just sweep everything under the
03:16carpet then God is not God how can God
03:19just forgive without a a proper
03:21Foundation of righteousness amen God
03:25cannot just presumptuously just uh uh
03:27bypass the laws and then just forgive
03:30you there must be a righteous Foundation
03:33God cannot extend love he is love the
03:35Bible says God is love but God cannot
03:38extend love at the expense of
03:42Holiness amen amen and and wrong must be
03:46rectified sin must be
03:49punished but God didn't want you to be
03:52punished so God sent his son and and he
03:54became a man so that he have a body to
03:57die with he was born to die he's the
04:00only baby born to die so God sent him
04:03and on that cross he was not murdered
04:05Jesus says no man take my life from me I
04:08lay down my life and that's why when
04:10they came to arrest him in the Garden of
04:11Gethsemane he spoke one word the name of
04:14God In The Burning Bush when Moses asked
04:16him what is your name he says I am that
04:19I am and when they came to arrest Jesus
04:21in the garden they said we seek Jesus of
04:23Nazareth and he step up and says I am
04:25and all the soldiers brandishing staves
04:27and swords they all fell backwards
04:30and he waited for them to get up to
04:32arrest him he could have run off he
04:34could have put them on their backs for a
04:36long long long long time no friend no
04:40one can take his life he laid down his
04:42life because he loved us there must be a
04:45panel that penalty must be paid so there
04:47must be a substitute and he came to be
04:49our substitute he allowed himself to be
04:52bound never did a centurion see a man
04:55lie down on the cross to be crucified as
04:57he saw that day amen
05:00and when Jesus H on the cross God took
05:02your sins and my sins laid it on the
05:05sinless Jesus he knew no sin he did no
05:08sin in him is no sin and he bore all our
05:11sins and God unleashed the full force of
05:14his divine retribution and Punishment
05:16and judgment against all sins but in the
05:19body of Jesus Christ and Jesus absorbed
05:23all of God's anger and judgment for all
05:25our sins that he was bearing on our
05:28behalf until there's nothing left and
05:33finish when my heart was broken and I
05:36was just hurting a lot the Lord used
05:38Pastor Prince and his messages to just
05:40bring healing and comfort I was actually
05:43just uh flipping through the TV one day
05:45and he was sharing the message of Grace
05:48just the message of a righteousness is
05:50from him and how he gives us our
05:52identity and everything we have have is
05:55from him it just lit my heart on fire if
05:57the gospel of grace has impacted your
05:59your life I would like to invite you to
06:01join us as a Grace Legacy Builder let's
06:05Advance the gospel of grace together
06:08visit the link on your screen to be part
06:10of living a legacy of Grace today so
06:14today God cannot punish you for the same
06:17sins that he punished Jesus for if you
06:19take Jesus as your savior as your
06:22substitute and God designed it to be so
06:25so that today God has a righteous
06:27Foundation to forgive you God is Not not
06:29merciful in forgiving you he is merciful
06:32in sending his son all right thinking of
06:34our predicament and sending his son but
06:36God is righteous in making you righteous
06:41hallelujah hallelujah what a
06:44gospel God a gospel this is not religion
06:47this is reality this is relationship
06:50amen with the god of Heaven
06:53Hallelujah okay so he didn't come to be
06:57served he came to serve you know after
06:59God gave the Big 10 the Ten Commandments
07:01in Exodus 20 in case you're wondering
07:03where the Ten Commandments appear they
07:05appear in Exodus 20 let me show you
07:0921 now these are the judgments which you
07:11you shall set before the children of
07:12Israel before them if you buy a Hebrew
07:15servant He Shall Serve six years in the
07:17seventh he shall go out free and pay
07:19nothing why after in Exodus 20 God talks
07:23about the ten commandments for the very
07:25first time at Mount Si God gave the Ten
07:28Commandments in the very next chapter
07:30God told Moses Moses write down these
07:32laws about a Hebrew servant why thought
07:36about P buying a Hebrew servant because
07:38God is not thinking about uh buying a
07:40Hebrew servant per se he's thinking
07:43son who will come and be a servant to
07:50us let me tell you this law okay let me
07:53describe this law if you buy a Hebrew
07:55servant he will serve you only for six
07:58years in the seven year you must set him
08:00free it's called the year of the release
08:037 time 7 is the Year of Jubilee complete
08:05release for all debts and and and and
08:09restoration of lands and everything so
08:11in the seven year he must go free now if
08:14he came in at the time you buy him he
08:16has a wife when he goes out in the seven
08:19year he goes out with his wife however
08:22if the master gave him the wife he came
08:24in by himself the master gave him a wife
08:26and now he has children in the seventh
08:29year he can go out free but his wife and
08:31his children will remain behind Okay
08:34hear me now however if the servant says
08:38the servant says this the servant says I
08:40love my master so obviously God has in
08:43mind himself as the good
08:46Master come on all right so this man he
08:50love his master you know this is the
08:52heart you are hearing the the heart talk
08:54of a servant most servants don't like
08:56their Master but here I love my master
08:59and I love I love my wife and I love my
09:00children I will not go out free then his
09:04master will bring him to the judges the
09:06word there is God is the word Elohim he
09:08shall also bring him to the door or to
09:10the doorpost and his musle will pierce
09:11his ear with a sharp instrument and all
09:14and he will serve him
09:16forever so what's all this about right
09:19after the Ten Commandments God talk
09:20about this servant because Jesus will
09:23come as a servant now listen carefully
09:25he's going to come and serve us he came
09:29full of blessings full of grace and
09:31truth healing in one hand provision in
09:34the other hand he came to bless us we
09:37who are poor and needy we who cover
09:40oursel even in plenty of money but so
09:42poor in in and of ourselves he came with
09:45blessings and he never you know took the
09:48little and then nowhere in the gospel
09:50does it say he took the boys Five Loaves
09:53at it and say boy here's one loaf back
09:55for you all right what I do now you
09:57don't understand but one day you
09:58understand at at least there must be one
10:00example where he made someone poor okay
10:03then I'll believe but no throughout the
10:05Bible he always he takes the little and
10:08enriches it multiplies it two boys Five
10:12Loaves and two fish blesses it and it
10:14multiplies he never look at a at a sick
10:17person and say come over here all right
10:19or a healthy person rather in in his
10:21hoty hail you know Rosy chick and all
10:23that he says come here you look too
10:25healthy now receive some leprosy all
10:28right oh I I'm teaching you a a lesson
10:31called patience you don't understand now
10:32one day you understand nowhere in the
10:34gospels do you find it and Jesus Christ
10:36the same yesterday today and forever
10:39amen at least there should be one
10:40example no he's always going about doing
10:43good healing all that were oppressed of
10:49hallelujah praise the Lord so by the way
10:53little becomes much in his hands amen
10:56there are times uh because of my
10:57preparation and all that for Sunday I
10:59will I will prepare and then sometimes I
11:01feel like I I still want to spend more
11:02time and time is late I only have a few
11:04hours left I will tell the Lord for my
11:06sleep tonight Lord even though it's a
11:07few hours blessed it Lord and God can
11:11make with his Blessing little becomes
11:13much you can sleep for 9 hours and wake
11:17headache it's not the quantity it's the
11:20quality y'all it's the blessing that
11:22make us rich can I a good amen whatever
11:25you put in Jesus hands
11:27multiplies plus your brain you put your
11:29brain there and tell God take my brain
11:31Lord it multiplies amen put your life
11:33put your family put your children in his
11:35hands amen and it multiplies but got to
11:38warn you first don't put in his hand
11:40whatever you don't want
11:41multiply that you don't want bless he'll
11:43always bless it he will always bless it
11:45and multiplies it can I have a good amen
11:48say Lord I I got a small brain Lord I
11:51put it in your hands Lord and He will
11:52multiply it can I have a good amen he
11:55can multiply time sometimes 24 hours
11:57seems like so fast some sometimes 24
11:59right is the blessing of the
12:03Lord okay so another thing is
12:07this we know they in heaven today so
12:09it's like Jesus saying I don't want I
12:12love my father now he came as a human
12:14being right he came as a man a man that
12:18means in a position of a servant okay
12:21and he says I love my father I love my
12:23wife the church all of us made up the
12:26church make up the church I love my
12:28children the son of God Amen the
12:30children of God I will not go out free
12:32in other words I believe this happened
12:34probably in the conversation that he had
12:36in the Garden of Gethsemane when he was
12:38praying and the father says to him do
12:40you want to come back if you come back
12:42you wouldn't have to die on the cross
12:44and this whole world all right will just
12:46go straight to a lossless christless
12:48eternity amen so I believe he made the
12:52choice no I love you father and I love
12:54the church that's to come amen and I
12:56love the children the children of God no
12:59I will remain I won't go go out free he
13:01refused to go back this what I believe
13:03as man when he says not my will in the
13:05garden not my will but your will be done
13:08and the Bible says he will serve him
13:11forever and and this one one thing one
13:13gesture is that the servant will be
13:15pierced in his Year all right so that
13:18they will know that he is a willing
13:20servant not an oblig obligated servant
13:23but a willing servant do you know that
13:26there's a prophecy of this in uh Psalms
13:29that sacrifice and Jesus is talking to
13:31the father sacrifice and offering you
13:33did not desire but my years you have
13:36open this word in the Hebrew open is the
13:39same word as pierce my years you have
13:43pierced behold I come in the scroll of
13:45the book it is written of Me Jesus says
13:47and this entire passage is repeated in
13:51the book of Hebrews chapter 10 of Jesus
14:02live amen and everything that God gives
14:05you God loves you you know and God gives
14:07you children for example you know why
14:09God giv you children we think we are
14:11raising them actually God gave them to
14:13us because they are raising
14:15us they God gave them to us so that our
14:19character can be developed that's that's
14:22really uh where God's going to bring you
14:23to be conformed to the image of his son
14:25many of times a mother knows this a
14:28little baby can demands so much time the
14:30mother says oh just to have a little
14:32time to myself just a little time to
14:34watch TV just to rest for a while and
14:36while she goes down there yeah she goes
14:38down there now she has a choice she can
14:40just uh uh leave the baby somewhere
14:42forget having a baby or things like that
14:44instead of sacrificing but because she
14:45wants to sacrifice she learns about love
14:49she learns about God kind of love you
14:51look at a tiny baby and the baby don't
14:53have to do anything for you the baby
14:55poops what he does the baby eats the
14:58baby demands the babyy Christ amen and
15:00you're serving the baby all the time and
15:02all of a sudden you have a glimpse of
15:03how much God loves you you don't have to
15:06do anything to earn his
15:11poop and I'm referring
15:14spiritually amen and he still loves you
15:16he doesn't say w so smelly dirty throw
15:20out if a father would not do that how
15:22much more our heavenly father so we are
15:24cultivating our souls we realize then as
15:26as they are growing up there are times
15:28come play with me Daddy and then Daddy
15:29knows he's got a game up a football game
15:32coming up on TV and he wants to uh spend
15:35time you know uh uh there but his son is
15:37wanting to spend time those moments are
15:39at times sacrifice is involved where you
15:41lay aside your desire and spend time
15:43with him let me tell you this as you do
15:46that not only God develops your your
15:47character you learn about God that child
15:50becomes your teacher
15:51actually and God is actually you know
15:54God is let me tell this to spend time
15:56like that to sacrifice you will find God
15:59with that child more than you're
16:04TV and alas these moments will one day
16:07go off they pass All Too Soon the TV
16:11Remains the child is no more the child
16:14where is the little boy I used to know
16:15where's that little girl I used to know
16:17sudden might I feel like grabbing Jess
16:19and say where is that little
16:22girl I love her for what she is now but
16:25sometimes you long for that little
16:26moment you know where's that little girl
16:29amen we think that we are raising them
16:32they are raising us anyway so P Pastor
16:35yeah come come come come come okay let's
16:37go to City of Jericho so remember this
16:40he did not come to be served but to
16:41serve now they came to Jericho by the
16:43way I just need to tell you this when
16:45the Lord Jesus came to the house of
16:47Martha and Mary remember the Two Sisters
16:49Martha saw Jesus tired in the natural
16:53all right and with his disciples so I
16:54must cook for him so she went to the
16:56kitchen and started cooking and she was
16:58anxious and and and U stressed out while
17:01she was doing it but a sister sat at
17:03Jesus feet hearing his word soon the the
17:07the older sister came out Martha and
17:08says Lord don't you care my sister left
17:11me alone so she blamed the Lord and
17:12blamed the sister don't you care my
17:14sister left me alone and Jesus says
17:17Martha Martha you are troubl and stress
17:21careful about many things but Mary has
17:25chosen one thing one thing is necessary
17:29and Mary has chosen that one thing we
17:31shall not be taken away from her wow wow
17:37sister was troubled and stressed about
17:39many things because she didn't do the
17:41one thing what's the one thing sit at
17:43Jesus feet and look at him listen to his
17:45word which is what all of you are doing
17:48now and Jesus says one thing is needful
17:52which Mary is doing now in the natural
17:55speaking from Asian culture when someone
17:58comes to your house a guest comes to
17:59your house what you abandon everything
18:01and sit down there and
18:04listen of course not not if until the
18:09guest is actually a Divine person who
18:12came not to be served but to serve and
18:15what happened is that he Delights in
18:16Mary who is there to receive from him
18:19you see Martha the older sister she saw
18:22Jesus in the natural as someone needing
18:24her Ministry her service but the younger
18:29beyond the tired exterior saw beyond
18:32that into the real person who Jesus
18:34really is a fullness and inexhaustible
18:37Supply there really for her to draw from
18:40to drink from and which system made
18:43Jesus feel like God Mary Mary made Jesus
18:47and Jesus so pleased with Mary he says
18:50not she will not be taken the her
18:52portion will not be taken away from
18:55her at the pool of at at the Sam in
19:00Samaria itself right the woman at the
19:03the the well in Samaria remember the
19:05story she came in the afternoon because
19:07she didn't want to hear the gossiping of
19:08the women in the early morning when it's
19:10cooler so she come in the afternoon and
19:12Jesus was there waiting for her and
19:14Jesus had been walking for miles and
19:16it's a very long journey and he was
19:18tired amen don't forget he's 100% God
19:21100% man as man he was tired and she
19:25came and the disciples went to buy food
19:27and Jesus spoke to her all together
19:29Jesus statements are seven perfect
19:30statements I've shared on them before
19:33and by the end the disciples came back
19:36and uh Jesus had ministered to the lady
19:38even though physically in the natural he
19:40was tired he ministered to the lady and
19:42the lady went off and disciples came and
19:44said uh Master be brought some food here
19:46Chick-fil-A and burgers and and uh
19:49McDonald's and what do you have you know
19:51and and um the Lord says I have food to
19:55eat that you do not know of and he
19:58looked through fresh he looks he looks
20:01more he looks uh reinvigorated because
20:05every time you come to the lord it's as
20:07if when you take from him the more you
20:08take from him the more he's
20:11reinvigorated it's the opposite of man
20:14the more you take from man man the more
20:16tired depleted the man becomes but Jesus
20:19the more you take from him the more he
20:20loves it so David ask the question what
20:24can I give to God for all the things
20:27that he has given to me what shall I
20:29render to the Lord for all his benefits
20:32towards me sometime we feel that way
20:33right God has blessed me so much what
20:35shall I give to the Lord we always think
20:37in terms of in the natural serve him
20:40more do this more do that more but the
20:42answer is David says I will take the
20:48more take some more from the Lord you
20:51know what displeases the Lord if you are
20:53God and you are so full full of
20:55blessings full of healing full of impart
20:58ation of Joy uh for your depression
21:01peace to Garrison your heart and mind
21:04from all these negative emotions that
21:06this world is so subject to and and and
21:08when you are so full what hurts you is
21:11no one takes from you and you find one
21:14that wants to take who that person
21:17becomes the recipient it's like a river
21:21I always say Lord what they don't want
21:23give me amen and that's why Jesus
21:26favorite when he rebukes his disciples
21:29his favorite word is what he never says

22:17the city of the curse amen how was it
22:21curs Joshua cursed it Joshua said that
22:24from now on after the you know Joshua
22:26and his men surrounded the city once
22:29every day for seven days on the seventh
22:31day they surrounded a city with the Ark
22:33of the Covenant for seven times on the
22:36seventh time they shouted Joshua says
22:39shout for the Lord has given you the
22:41city they shouted in unison and the city
22:44fell flat I've been there a number of
22:46times and the ruins of the city is still
22:49there and Joshua burned down that City
22:52amen and the ash element is still there
22:55the burn Ash and he burn he burned down
22:57the city and he says no one takes the
22:59gold the silver nor The Spoils of the
23:00city the city is like a tithe amen it's
23:03the first of all the cities that God
23:04will give them the other cities they can
23:05take the spoils but not the first city
23:07you know aen did and he died okay it was
23:10given complete like to God anything
23:13anyone does from that will be a curse
23:15amen and Joshua said that he made a
23:18curse Joshua says cursed be the man
23:20before the Lord who Rises up and builds
23:21this city Jericho he will lay his
23:23foundation with his first born and with
23:25his youngest he will set up his gates in
23:26other words no one should ever raise the
23:28city of Jericho again it's cursed he
23:31does it he his first born will die when
23:33the foundation is late and when the
23:35gates are late his youngers would die
23:37that really happened later on in First
23:38Kings a man called heel did that and he
23:41laid a foundation with abiam he built
23:43Jericho he laid his foundation his first
23:45born and his second born younger son
23:48rather was when he set up the gates
23:49according to the word of
23:51Joshua look up here so that's why I say
23:54it's the city of the curse this whole
23:56earth is a city of the curse C God sent
24:00his son to the city of the curse imagine
24:02Jesus went to the city of the
24:04curse and saved zakus today we're going
24:06to see that he's going to save a blind
24:08beggar all right let's look and he says
24:12now they came to Jericho as he went out
24:14of Jericho with his disciples and a
24:16great multitude there's a great
24:18multitude following following Jesus
24:20blind bartimus the son of timus Sat by
24:23the road begging now bimus is not a
24:26proper name bimus means the son of of
24:28Tas bar in aramia actually Hebrew is B
24:32in aramia Aram and Hebrew is the
24:35language Jesus speaks in that day arami
24:37and Hebrew is like hen and T very
24:40similar amen uh you say b
24:46uh uh amen am I right that kind of thing
24:50yeah my my wife is uh my wife is
24:53canonist and when I spoke to her parents
24:55last time the first time I was dating
24:59so also in the accent right makes a
25:01difference so Hebrew is a lot much very
25:03much like Anyway bar means son son of
25:07timus now uh timus is the anglish siiz
25:10form but in the Hebrew it is Tim son of
25:13Tim and Tim is used very often in The
25:15Book of Leviticus for unclean so he has
25:18no name bimus is not a name it's son of
25:21te son of te son of T son of the unclean
25:24one son of the unclean one now this is
25:26Pastor Prin opinion it's my personal
25:29opinion I'm not saying it's Bible I'm
25:31just saying my opinion I think his
25:33father Tim must have done something
25:35drastic wrong that the whole city knows
25:38about it okay probably he's the one that
25:42Jericho in that time that's my opinion
25:46okay I just think and they call him the
25:48son of the unclean the son of the
25:49unclean the son of the unclean that's
25:52how he's known he's a blind poor man
25:54begger means poor man and that's how
25:57that's what the world is like that's why
25:58all of us are when we fell from God God
26:00gave us a choice people God give you a
26:02free choice you say why didn't God just
26:04stop Adam from taking that fruit in the
26:06first place God is all powerful isn't he
26:08yes if he wanted robots he would have
26:11it if God is Almighty and uses his power
26:14when Adam was about to take the fruit
26:16and then Adam's hand shake over a sudden
26:18and God made his hand with great
26:20velocity come across his
26:22face God can do that but will God be
26:26just if God creates a being as a free
26:32agent no God didn't want robots God
26:34wanted truly a a person with a free
26:37choice to come to love him because they
26:39want to love him to worship him but
26:41there's always a risk involved and you
26:44cannot because of the risk not create a
26:48agent but one thing though you are free
26:51to choose you can choose to walk out
26:53here if you want to nobody will stop you
26:54no angel will stop you I promise you
26:56that amen but you cannot choose the
27:00result the final result of your choice
27:03that's been predetermined like fire
27:05burns you can choose to put your finger
27:07in the fire but you cannot say I choose
27:09no burn no you can choose to put your
27:10finger there but you cannot choose no
27:13burn burn has been chosen before the
27:18earth okay are you with me so far so the
27:21wages of sin is death but the gift of
27:23God is eternal life through Jesus Christ
27:25Our Lord and there is no other name
27:27under Heaven given among man the Bible
27:28says whereby we must be saved Jesus says
