God says: “I’m the Lord
your God who”
“teaches you to profit
and leads you”
“in the way you
should go.”
You know, Jesus in
the upper room,
He introduced the
subject of the Holy Spirit
as the Helper.
How many of you
sometimes you feel like:
“I need some good
advice on this.”
“I don’t not know
who to turn to.”
The Helper is beside you.
The brain wants to
logic everything out.
The way of Faith?
No no no.
No willpower can make you
overcome these addictions.
Not by discipline,
not by sheer grit
but by My Spirit,
says the Lord.
When it comes to God
who cannot lie,
He is worthy of our trust.

Blessed Sunday church
and time for some praise reports.
This first testimony comes from a
sister from Singapore and she says,
I woke up with a stiff neck
and a stiff left shoulder on
Sunday, third March, 2024.
That day I attended the 11:30 AM
service and Pastor Prince called out for
healing for those with a
stiff neck. Literal. Okay,
this literal. Yeah. Not
the stubborn people.
And as Pastor Prince prayed for the
congregation and asked those with
symptoms to start turning
and moving their bodies,
I could hardly believe that the pain
in my shoulder was completely gone,
although my neck still felt
slightly stiff after the service.
As I was having lunch, I began to
tilt my head upwards, unconsciously,
and it produced a slight cracking
sound in the neck area. Miraculously,
the stiffness in the neck
area was also completely
gone. Thank you Jesus, and thank you
Pastor Prince for the healing session.
Indeed,
more healing miracles shall
happen in the year of living in
the upper room. Amen, man.
Second testimony comes from a
sister from England and she says,
about a decade ago I suffered from
a condition called endometriosis and
had an operation back then.
It led to many difficulties
and complications,
including debilitating pain.
Once a month during my monthly,
I would be bit bound for a whole week.
I would not be able to walk and
had to take time off from work.
I didn’t have any kind of life.
I would have feelings of dread every
month because of the debilitating pain I
experienced, I relied on a lot
of painkillers to function.
I constantly cried to my father in
heaven and asked for healing and relief.
I even asked family and
friends to pray for me.
I just carried on praying and living my
life like this, expecting to be healed.
One day about a year ago,
I was extremely ill due to my monthly
I was bed bound in awful pain,
unable to walk and was extremely weak.
I listened to one of Pastor
Princess sermons where he mentioned
someone having pain in their stomach.
I felt like he was talking about me.
I put my hand on my stomach and prayed.
I declared I’m healed and
my body is like Jesus’ body.
Two days after that episode,
I suddenly felt no pain.
The Holy Spirit prompted
me to move around the flat.
I jumped up and down singing to Jesus,
thanking the Lord and my
heavenly Father for my healing.
My stomach felt normal to touch,
and I no longer needed
to take pain killers to
function. Now, I kick box,
don’t play and run and can
walk normally when I’m on my
monthly.
The nurse at the doctor’s office said
everything in my body was normal after
some blood tests and checks and
they declared that I am healed.
Amen. And yeah, you can praise Jesus
10 years, right? Thank you so much,
Pastor Prince for your lifesaving
and grace-filled sermons on YouTube.
I came across them three years ago
after having my appendix removed.
I now watch your sermons daily and
I re-watched them for encouragement.
May the Lord bless you abundantly.
Pastor Prince, we truly serve an awesome,
amazing God,
and please keep smashing it with
your wonderful gracefield sermons.
The Lord is saving lives through
you and the gospel of grace.
God bless you and your wonderful family
and praise and glory, our awesome God.
Thank you Jesus. Let’s give
him all the praise. Amen.
And last testimony from a
sister from Singapore. She says,
I had been coughing for the past six
months despite multiple visits to the
doctors and trying many
different kinds of medication.
They were unable to determine the cause
of my cough, which persisted. Instead,
the doctors discovered I had
hyperthyroidism and autoimmune
disorder and fatty liver suggesting
that my cough could be linked
to my hyperthyroidism and
that I might never recover.
She was so sad, right? She says I was
devastated, but was reminded of Psalm 92,
verses 12 to 15, which
Pastor Prince had taught us.
I kept declaring the verses to myself,
and within a week I experienced
a recovery from my cough. By 30,
then 60, then hundred fold.
I went back to the doctor,
took another blood test.
The results showed that my liver was
completely healed and my thyroid had
improved. Today, I no longer have
a cough and have a healthy liver.
I’m still declaring the verse over
myself and believing for the complete
restoration of my thyroid,
all glory goes to Jesus.
And thank you Pastor Prince
for sharing the word.
Let’s give Jesus all the praise
and let’s welcome Pastor Prince.
Praise the Lord.
Hey, I love you all. I love you all.
I must say you’ll have a
voice and a loud one of that.
Now, give a shout to the Lord Jesus.
Hallelujah. Lord.
We thank you Lord for all the
testimonies. Lord, we’ve heard, Lord,
we know that you are still
the miracle working God.
The healing Lord will
give you all the glory,
Lord and all the praise in
the name of Jesus. Amen.
Holy, holy,
holy, holy,
holy, holy, holy
Lord God. Ight.
And we live our hearts
before you as a token
of our love. Holy,
holy,
holy, holy.
Sing it.
Holy, holy,
holy, holy,
holy, holy, holy
Lord God,
before you
him,
holy, holy.
Now lift your hands to the.
Lord gracious, father.
Gracious.
Father.
Gracious Father.
We are so blessed.
To be your children.
Glad to.
Be.
Your children, gracious.
Father.
And our hearts.
Our.
Before.
You.
As
Father,
gracious Father.
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
Hall.
Hall.
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
And we lift our hearts before you Lord,
before
hall. Hallelujah.
The Lord Jesus said,
and you shall receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes
upon you.
Perhaps you have put your
trust in Christ sometime back,
but you have never, never received
the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
You see, when you’re born again my friend,
the Holy Spirit is in you. From
the time you’re born again,
the Holy Spirit takes residence
in you. So when you’re saved,
when you’re born again, the
Holy Spirit is rested in you.
But when you get baptized in the
spirit, he’s precedent over you.
And you know all of us,
we are tired of our lives run by ourselves
or by others because we are so
full of our weakness, full of
our ignorance,
thinking that we can lead our
lives into successful paths.
And time again, we come up as a failure.
Why? Well, those experiences
are good my friend.
So that we’ll learn that only the
Holy Spirit can lead you into paths of
peace and prosperity.
And the word peace, shalom in the
Hebrew is also not just mental peace,
but health, wellbeing,
wholeness for your
spirit’s, soul and body.
Only the Holy Spirit can
lead us into paths of peace
And prosperity. Jesus says,
when the Holy Spirit comes,
he will teach you all things. He
will guide you into all truths.
Isaiah the prophet prophesied saying,
I am the Lord thy God who
teaches you to prophet.
When God teaches you is always
teach you to prophet of it,
never to incur loss,
never to find yourself
failing in that area,
not when he’s teaching you.
When we teach ourselves thinking that
we are very smart to run our lives or we
listen to the advice of people
who are so full of weaknesses
themselves,
ignorant of their own ignorance,
we fail because only one
cannot fail. Only one is infallible.
And that’s the Holy Spirit.
And he’s here right now and he
wants to fill you. Child of God,
fill you to overflowing.
And Bible evidence is always when
someone is filled with the Holy Spirit,
they’ll speak in heavenly language,
not in their mother tongue.
They’ll speak in a different language.
A language they have never learned
before is a language from heaven that the
devil cannot decipher
as a language that will
bless you. They will edify you,
strengthen you from the inside out.
And it is the language of power.
Because when you receive the baptism
of the Holy Spirit, child of God,
Jesus says you receive
power. Power for what?
Power to heal the sick power
to cast out evil spirits
that are bullying and oppressing
people with their minds,
their bodies with sickness and
their minds with depression. Well,
the Lord, when he stands you
free, you’ll be free indeed.
So if you have never received
the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
I want to pray for you right
now in the name of Jesus,
but fully expect
To speak in tongues. Amen.
Now listen, acts two says, on the
day of Pentecost in the upper room,
when the Holy Spirit came like a rushing
mighty wind and it filled all of them
in the house where they were sitting
and the Bible says, and they began,
say they began not the Holy
Spirit. A lot of people,
they wait for the Holy Spirit to
speak through their mouths. No,
he does not possess you like
an evil spirit does. Listen,
the Holy Spirit will give you a
word that you never heard before.
You have never spoken before.
Don’t think mining might
think that sounds illogical.
It sounds funny, right?
But speak it up is the language
of power from heaven. Amen.
By you need to speak, the
Lord will prompt you. See,
evil spirits will force you. The Holy
Spirit leads you. If you don’t speak,
nothing will come up. But when you speak,
he’ll give you more and more words,
and the more you speak those
words, the language of power,
amen, will clove you with
the power from on high. Amen.
So right now you’re ready. Amen. Don’t
worry, you’ll not receive another spirit.
This is for people who are
believers in Christ. Amen.
Is it possible, Pastor, that I’m safe
and I don’t have the Holy Spirit? No,
you have the Holy Spirit.
He’s resident in you.
But when you receive the baptism,
he’s what? Precedent over you. Amen.
That’s where we are going
right now. Are you ready?
Lift your hands all across this place
everywhere that’s watching this right now.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
be filled with the Holy Spirit in
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Right now begin to speak Sha
Tara.
Speak it out. Speak it out. The
Holy Spirit won’t do your speaking.
He will give you the prompting. He’ll
give you the ens, but you speak it out.
That’s right. That’s right.
Okay, now stop. You see,
you can stop anytime and
you can start anytime.
Paul says,
I will pray with the spirit and I
will pray with the I say I will.
That’s your own violation. Amen.
The Holy Spirit doesn’t possess you like
an evil spirit does and force you to do
things you don’t want to do. Think
thoughts you don’t want to think,
feel things that you don’t want
to feel. That’s the evil spirit,
but the Holy Spirit leads you. Amen. So
when it comes, he give you the words.
The more you speak the very first
word like a child learning to speak,
daddy Abba. Then after that, as he grows,
you’ll speak more and more.
His vocabulary increases.
So as you pray in tongues,
you speak those few words.
The Bible says with stammering
lips, even stammering lips,
his tongues heaven. Any language
God will increase your vocabulary.
Amen. Now, this
is something that the natural
man doesn’t like because
his logical mind says
this is nonsense. This is,
I don’t like to do things
I don’t understand.
I cannot enjoy things
that I don’t understand.
And that’s not true
because many a times he,
he’s enjoying things he doesn’t
understand, like the air conditioning.
He might not even know how it
works, but he enjoys it. A man,
you don’t have to understand.
Your mind has become
your boss for too long.
Your mind has bullied you all this time
when actually God never meant for you to
live by your brain. Your brain is your
servant. You are to use it, your mind.
You ought to use it. Don’t let it
use you. How did God design me?
Pastor Prince? Well, the Bible
says God designed you like himself.
When he made you, he made you,
he breath into you His spirit,
His breath.
Okay, listen, man, became
spirit, soul, and body.
You are a spirit being.
Spirit and God are in touch with the mind.
You communicate with the mental and
intellectual realm with the body.
You touch the physical and material world.
But God designed for you to operate
out of your spirit through your
mind and express in your body.
But for so long because the spirit
of man is cut off because of sin
cut off from God. Alright man,
start living from his
mind. He starts to become
A mental and intellectual person
who wants to reason everything out.
Only to find that the more advanced
he becomes in what he thinks is his
intellect. Like the world
today, they’re so advanced,
like all the decades before us. I
think we are living in the decade.
We have seen so many advancement and many
of us still remember when we are using
the dial phone and the payphone.
Now the latest is what? ai. Amen. Chat,
GBT. And people are doing all
kinds of things with them.
A friend, listen, the world is still
on the brink of war. Some countries,
people are still killing each
other. Divorce is an all time high.
Hatred is there, bitterness is there?
Depression is right now
gone beyond the limits of
what the world before us
a few decades ago.
They never dreamed that they’ll
see such an epidemic of people
being depressed,
young people also being depressed.
So what is it that with our advancement of
our intellect and all that, we
think we are getting smarter,
but there’s a big hunger in our heart.
There’s an emptiness on the inside
because you’re not meant to live by your
brain. You’re meant to live by
the spirit and your brain you use,
your intellect is given to you by God.
Amen. Your brain is given to you by God.
You are supposed to use it
as a servant. Amen. Alright,
now when you pray in tongues, oh
by the way, you can sit down. Okay?
You can sit down.
We are going to continue flowing
with the Holy Spirit of God,
learning about his ways. For a long time,
people think that we should not teach
about the Holy Spirit because they quote
from the old King James, it says the
Holy Spirit will not speak of himself.
Actually, it’s a mis hood. What
that means in the new King James,
he’ll say the Holy Spirit will not
speak out of his own authority.
But what He hears the Father,
amen. He will speak to us. Right?
It’s not speak of himself
concerning himself.
It’s not saying that he will
not speak of his own authority.
You understand that? Alright, so it’s
okay to teach on the Holy Spirit. In fact,
we need more teaching on the Holy
Spirit. You can have a good amen.
And the more you pray in tongues,
the first benefit the Bible says
whoever speaks in an unknown tongue
edifies himself. And
the word edify is doil
is literally hors house. Doil
is built building the house.
In the Old Testament,
in the Greek version,
the Stigen when talks about
Solomon building the house and
later on the house went into
disrepair. And then he, not him,
but other kings after
him repaired the house.
The word used is IL, even for repair.
But who is the house of God today?
Your bodies are the
temple of the Holy Spirit.
So when the Bible says, when
you pray in an unknown tongue,
you build yourself up.
Medical science tells you
that a disease is a breakdown
of some parts of your body, your
immune system. Before you fall sick,
there’s a breaking down. In fact, disease
is a breaking down. It’s a disease.
You’re no more in that normalcy,
that health zone you have broken
down. When you pray in tongues,
the more you pray in tongues, you build
yourself up. People have this idea,
you pray in tongues, you only
build yourself spiritually. No,
the word says who serve
speaks in an unknown tongue,
edifies himself the entire self spirit.
So and body. Amen.
That’s the first benefit.
You build yourself up anyway.
You cannot build others until
you can build yourself up. Amen.
My doctors tell us that as you advance
in age, your brain is shrinking. Well,
you built your brain up.
Everything has been built up,
not broken down. You can have a good amen.
Second benefit, the Bible says,
and this is what Paul says
in one Corinthians 14,
when he taught on the holy on speaking
tongues, the spirit’s gift of tongues,
he says that this is what
Isaiah says in Isaiah 28.
This is the rest and the refreshing
for stammering lips and another
tongue where he speak to the people.
And just like Paul
foresaw and Isaiah foresaw
that the be those who reject
this message, God says this,
the rest and the refreshing yet
for all this, they were not. Here.
They are those who are not here. Amen.
Just like those will say that today,
God doesn’t heal anymore.
The day of miracles is over.
But there never was a day of miracles.
There’s always been the God of miracles.
And it’s still the same
yesterday, today and for forever.
Amen.
And God wants you well.
God wants you strong.
God wants you healthy. And
if you want to see God,
sometimes people spend so much time in
the Old Testament, they mistake God,
the works of God for the
devil and the devils for God.
For example, when Job was being attacked,
right? Job says the Lord gave
and the Lord has taken away.
People use that phrase at funerals
and all that. Now, part true,
part error the Lord gave. That’s true.
But the Lord takes away.
No. If you read the first chapter,
it was Satan who took
away from Job, his family,
his health, his property, his goods.
Because Jesus says the teeth
comes to steal, heal, and destroy.
But I’m calm that you might have
life and have it more abundantly.
Amen. So the devil is the one.
But you read the story of Job,
you find that the Calians
Babylonians came and invaded
job’s land and took away job’s, property.
There was a typhoon,
a hurricane that came and
destroyed What job had.
The house that job’s children
were under fell upon them.
It seems like natural
disasters like the world we see
today, we talk about nature going wild.
We talk about global warm warming
and things like that. But even
insurance clauses,
they put the word not
responsible for the acts of God,
like earthquake, hurricane.
These are not the acts of God.
It’s acts of the devil.
Amen. So the devil’s,
I think master achievement, or I want
to say the word who? Degra. But who?
Degra has the word just grace.
So the devil has no grace anyway.
His master achievement
is he can do something
and pretend that he’s
not the one there. Amen.
And he loves it when people
think he doesn’t exist. Amen.
So God gets all the blame. Are
you listening what I’m saying?
The problem that you have in
your life right now, if there’s
stress you’re going through, if
there’s depression in your mind,
if there a disease aging your body
right now, it is not the work of God.
Would you like to see God? The clearest
way we see God is in Jesus Christ.
Amen. The Bible says in Hebrews one,
Jesus is the brightness of God’s glory.
Who being the brightness of his glory
and the express image of his
person, Jesus himself says,
he that has sin me has sinned. The
Father. That’s how you see God.
And in Matthew, mark, Luke,
and John talking about Jesus
when he was manifested on earth,
God in human flesh, what did he do?
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Ghost and with
power who went about doing good
and healing all they will oppress
of the devil who oppressed
them. The devil who healed them.
Jesus. Amen.
So Jesus is always in
the healing business.
Amen?
Never do you find in the gospels there
any time during Jesus earthly ministry.
Never can you find one
that says where it says,
Jesus saw a man who was
full of radiant health.
His complexion was beautiful, and
the Lord called him to him and says,
thou art too beautiful
here, receive leprosy
never. If you can find that for me,
then I’ll believe sometime God
heals. Sometime he doesn’t.
But what I see in the Bible, Jesus,
who is the express image
of God is always healing,
always cleansing, always forgiving,
and always delivering people
from the powers of darkness.
Amen? Always.
And does Jesus prosper? Does he
make little become much? Yes.
They brought a boy’s lunch,
five loaves and two small fish and
put it in Jesus’ hands. What happened?
It multiplied. Amen.
And he fed 5,000 people with
12 basket full left over.
That tells me that the Lord
will always give you more than
enough. Amen. Why? More than enough
so that you can be a blessing?
Praise the Lord. Never
do I find Jesus saying,
now give me your loaves and fish, boy.
And then he looks at the boy and he
eats it. And then he says, that’s it.
I just want you to learn to go hungry
because sometimes God wants you
hungry. Amen.
Sometimes God wants you like the man
just now who was very nice in his
complexion. Now, sometimes
God wants you sick. Never,
never. He’s always cleansing the lapper,
raising the date because all these things
is foreign to God’s plans and purposes
for you. So why is it here today? Why
do people die? Why do people grow old?
Why do people fall sick Because of sin?
Sin gives the devil who is a legalist,
a legal foothold into this earth.
Amen. But good news, friends,
his lease is running out. Jesus
Christ is returning. Amen.
And meanwhile, we are in this world,
but we are not of the world. And all
the people said, amen, giving praise.
Hallelujah.
Thank you.
And the more we pray in
the spirit besides edifying
yourself, besides the rest and refreshing
how many like Gods are and are,
you don’t have to go to an
expensive spouse somewhere.
You don’t have to go to
an island in the beautiful
or wherever you’re going to put it to
relax. Many of times you go to such place,
you come back, you need to relax.
But God’s iron eyes that you can
pray in the spirit under your breath,
wherever you are, as you’re working,
as you’re typing, as you are,
whatever you’re doing,
you can be praying undertones
and you know what you’re doing.
Rest and refreshing. The
next benefit is this.
You are praying into your future. Amen.
If Job had this language in the Old
Testament job will live in the Old
Testament.
The Book of Job is the oldest book in
the Bible. And if Job had this language
back then he would’ve prayed into fouling
up the plans of Satan against him.
Amen. But he wasn’t able to. Why?
Because he can only pray
in his own language.
And that confines him to his own
understanding and that limits him to his
own knowledge. He can pray
beyond your knowledge,
but with praying in the Spirit,
you are praying into your future
for things you don’t even know.
I have not seen no year has heard
the things which God has reserved,
has kept for those that love him.
I’m glad that God keeps some things
from us because I tell you this,
if he shows us everything,
we’ll just drop unconscious.
We can’t handle it.
Why? Stan? In other words,
it’s too great for us.
If the Lord revealed to me
when I was in secondary school,
I had a prom with stammering, right?
I would sta and starter.
If the Lord showed me that
one day I’ll be preaching.
Let’s say I’m praying one day and he
shows me you’ll be preaching to thousands
of people. All of you,
right? Thousands of people.
I tell you this, I won’t
go to church anymore. God,
I don’t want God to use me. I
can’t handle it at that time.
So I’m glad I’m praying tongues even at
that time. I’m praying for the future.
I’m praying for things in the future.
I’m praying for my future spouse.
I’m praying for my future
children and for their destinies.
I can pray today I’m I’m not bound. Amen.
Here’s a lot of time and space
and I transcend even space.
I can go into my future and pray
things that have not yet happened
for God to prepare the way and make all
the crooked places straight. I can pray
when I pray in tongues. I can be praying
for loved ones who are in danger.
And right now I don’t even
know that they’re in danger.
If I’m confined and limited to my
own understanding and knowledge,
I cannot pray for them because
I do not know they’re in danger.
I do not know the devil has
planned something for them.
Maybe this evening or whatever.
But when I’m praying the Spirit,
the Holy Spirit covers it all.
It transcends time and space.
Amen. So I encourage you to pray
more and more in the Spirit.
I’ll tell you this, when we come together
after a time of praying the Spirit,
let’s pray in the Spirit throughout
the day as you’re cooking,
as you are driving, as whatever
you’re doing during the week,
pray more and more in the
Spirit from this day forth.
This is an assignment from the
Lord to tell me to tell you. Amen.
Pray more in the Spirit. Amen.
You are people of the Spirit can
have a good amen. Praise the Lord.
You know Jesus in the upper room,
he introduced the subject of the Holy
Spirit like this. In John 14, he says,
I’ll pray the Father and he
will give you another helper.
So he introduced the Holy Spirit
as the helper parato in the Greek
para alongside Clays
assist, help to suck her.
A helper, literally the word helper.
A helper who is not just far away,
a helper who is beside you so near
to you. How many of you, sometimes
I need some good advice on this.
I don’t know who to turn to.
The helper is beside you.
Amen. Okay. So Jesus,
I’ll send you another
helper. Why? Another?
Because he has been their helper
in the midst all this while.
So when you say another, he’s
referring to someone just like him.
But this time he’s not time bound.
He’s not space bound. The
Holy Spirit is limitless.
He is Jesus, limitless. Jesus.
When he was in Galilee, he
could not be in Jerusalem.
When he was in Jerusalem,
he could not be in
Lebanon or the amount of
transfiguration, okay,
bordering on Lebanon.
He cannot be there. Why?
Because he was confined in a body. But
he says, I’ll send you another helper.
But this time the Holy
Spirit is limitless. Amen.
We have Jesus in his unlimited form.
And that’s why he says, when I go away,
listen, the works that I do, you
will do also and create the works.
Why? Because now I am
Jesus in you unlimited.
Praise the Lord. Amen. And
not just that, he says,
I’ll give you another helper that he
may abide with you forever. Say forever.
Forever.
There’s this teaching that says that
you can lose your salvation. In other
words, today you have the Holy Spirit.
But when you lose your
salvation because of some sin,
and no one can tell you what sin it
is, okay? You lose your salvation.
You go to hell after you
die, you are once safe.
But once safe doesn’t mean
that you’re eternally saved.
You can still lose your salvation,
which means the Holy Spirit
does not abide with you forever.
But here Jesus says that
the Holy Spirit comes,
he will abide with you forever.
Not until your next sin,
not until your next fall.
No forever, my friend means forever.
No end. Amen.
So this idea that the
Holy Spirit comes and goes
is from the Old Testament
because in the Old Testament,
the Holy Spirit comes on someone
and then he leaves after the work
is done, he comes on someone
for an assignment, amen.
For the work that God has for them.
Usually it is something of an exploit.
An exploit or a great
act or a miracle even.
He’ll come on that person,
a prophet or just a judge like we’re
going to see right now, Samson.
He says the spirit of the
Lord came mightily upon him
and he tore the lion apart
as one who had pawn apart a young goat.
Though he had nothing in his hand.
So the Holy Spirit came on him. Have you
noticed it affected his body as well?
Spirit, we have this idea.
Spirit has no effect on our body.
And that’s why we don’t
see the resurrection power,
because the Holy Spirit can only
bear witness with the truth.
And we don’t believe spirit can
affect body even with someone.
If someone is filled with the evil spirit,
it can affect their body
because the Ghar ammonia,
the Bible says he was often bound with
chains. And what did he do? He broke it.
That shows the power of evil.
Spirit possessing someone
having an effect on his
body, making him
accomplish an extraordinary feat. How
much more the Holy Spirit? Come on church.
Amen. It came upon Samson. Hallelujah.
Well, I just pushed myself happy.
Praise the Lord. So the Holy Spirit
will have an effect on your body.
Do you know we have an example of Eli,
of Elijah after the great
thing that he accomplished,
that God worked through him and bring
fire down from heaven that consumed the
sacrifice of Mount Carmel.
And the Bible says because of that,
the drought was broken.
The three and a half years drought
was broken and the rains fell
through Elijah’s prayer
and Elijah told the king,
you better write back in your chariot.
And that right all the way from
Mount Carmel all the way to where
the king was supposed to be at
was about 15 miles journey 15
miles, alright? And the king
had a hit start on his chariot.
But next thing the king knew, he saw this
guy start running and the Bible said,
Elijah outran the chariot,
he ran all the way to
the king’s palace. Amen.
15 miles, come on church.
The Holy Spirit had an effect on his
body. Amen. Something very interesting.
Also, remember the prophecy of Isaiah
that says, I am the Lord thy God.
God is speaking through Isaiah saying,
I’m the Lord your God who teaches you
to profit. How many like to prophet,
profit in your parenting profit
in your business? Adventurous.
Adventurous. Alright.
Adventurous is also an adventure.
And whatever you undertake,
it might be a student studying.
You want to prophet. Amen.
So God says,
I’m the Lord your God who teaches
you to profit and leads you in
the way you should go. And the Bible says,
all God’s paths are for you.
Paths of peace, wholeness,
wellbeing, and prosperity.
So I’m sure that you’ve
heard people saying, oh,
that’s the health and wealth gospel,
or that’s the people who
preach health and wealth.
I dunno about that. I dunno why you like
to use language. Maybe it’s alation,
health wealth. Okay, nevermind.
But what I see in Jesus is this.
He went about healing people.
I think that is health.
I think I would say the
Lord believes in health
or else why go around healing people. And
he says He that has sin me has sinned.
The Father. So obviously he’s
demonstrating the father’s will.
Number two, he multiplied
the LOAs and fishes.
I would say that’s providing for
the people after they’re filled,
they burp fully, cannot take anymore.
Like Singaporean. Cannot. Cannot.
But God deserve. No, of course still
can. Still can. Okay, they’re filled.
The Bible says after they were filled,
somebody after they’re filled,
they’re 12 baskets full leftover.
That tells us that the Lord
gave them more than enough.
Come on church after they’re filled.
So why put that example?
Because like this, Lord,
if you put the example of
you going around healing,
people will say that you believe in
the health and wealth multiplying the
loaves. There’s no such thing as
a health and wealth of gospel.
There’s only the gospel of grace
and peace. But believing it,
oh man,
believing it will produce
health and wholeness
and provision. Nicer word,
more Christian provision.
But the provision is
12 basketful leftover.
Why leftover So that you
can not just be blessed,
but be a blessing. If it’s just enough
for you, you cannot be a blessing.
So I’m just preaching the Bible.
If the Bible has one example where the
Lord took the boys’ lunch and ate it and
just said that’s it,
and he walked away and everyone
is hungry and turn around and say,
I’m teaching you a lesson, then
I will buy it. I’ll believe it.
All right, but no friend, we’re not into
running off the money I shared
before you run off the money,
money will run from you. Amen.
The Bible says you follow the Lord and
all the blessings will overtake you.
The idea is it’s from behind overtaking
you. You’re not looking at it,
you’re looking at the
Lord, but it overtakes you.
It means you can’t run fast enough
to escape God’s blessings when you’re
following the Lord.
Amen. Hallelujah. Amen.
And then the Bible says that
you’ll be like a cedar in Lebanon.
You’ll be like the palm
tree. Amen. In your old age,
you shall still bring
forth fruit in old age.
And the Hebrew there is that there’ll
be full of Sep, it’s full of anointing,
full of oil like a tree, a good luscious
tree that produce a lot of fruit.
It’s full of oil. God says in your old
age, you’ll still bring forth fruit.
This from Psalms 92. By the way, one of
the last testimonies you heard just now,
the lady who recovered her liver and all
that was because she quoted this psalm,
which I told you all to quote last
time. You see, you all don’t listen.
Someone listen. You see what happened
to her. Amen. They’ll be full of what?
Oil. They’ll be full of anointing and
they’ll be in the Hebrew ranan. They’ll be
green in their old age. They are
still green. Amen? People look,
oh yeah, you’re still green,
you’ll stay young. Amen.
So if God doesn’t want us to believe that,
then why tell us things like bless the
Lord all my soul and forget not all his
benefits and the first benefit, who
forgives all your sins? Second benefit,
who heals all your
diseases? Third benefit.
Who redeems your life from destruction?
Amen. If that’s not his real,
why tell us These are his
benefits. When you join a company,
one of the things you want to learn
is that tell me the fringe benefits,
the benefits that come by being
an employee of this company. Amen.
So the Lord say this are his
benefits. The fourth one,
who crowns you with loving
kindness and tender mercies? Amen.
When people come near you, they dunno why,
but there’s loving kindness around you.
Amen.
They’re drawn to the beauty
of the Lord in you. Amen.
And the fifth one. The fifth one, he says,
who satisfies your mouth with good so
that your youth is renewed like the
egos. Now if the Lord doesn’t
want us to have all this,
why
teach us by putting all the benefits
like this one by one, just tell us,
you will endure in your old age
and then you’ll come and
stay with me. Until then,
hope for the best or something
like that. Amen. Amen.
Pastor Prince, I don’t see that
around me. I don’t go by experience.
I go by the word of God. God who
cannot lie. What is it about people?
Sometimes it’s amazing
when you see people saying,
well I don’t believe this until I can
see for myself. I know the person.
I know him intimately that I can trust
him. How can I trust God? Just like that.
But when they take a plane somewhere,
they sit on the plane and then they hear
this voice from dunno from where they
do not know this person never seen
his face. He says, I’m your captain.
My name is Liang son.
Currently we are flying at
an altitude of thousand,
thousand thousand feet above
the ground. Alright, just relax,
sit back, relax, enjoy all that
we have for you on this flight,
and I hope you have a pleasant flight.
They have faith for us in
someone they have never seen.
Just because the voice comes over
when it comes to God, I can just
contact your word Lord. Amen.
I must have a bird fly to my
room and sing modular Singapore
or the latest BTS song. I must have some.
The moon must turn around 180 degrees or
something. They always give out a sign.
They never tell the man, alright,
are you sure you can fly this plane?
Can I see your credentials? No,
we sit back, relax, we trust.
So don’t tell me you cannot trust it’s
matter whether you want to when it comes
to God who cannot lie.
He’s worthy of our trust.
He’s most deserving of our
faith can have a good amen.
Amen has given us his word.
And Jesus says that the Holy Spirit
notice that of all the things that Jesus
described,
the Holy Spirit when he introduced the
person of the Holy Spirit and says he’ll
be with you forever. Notice
that Jesus did not say,
although he is the Holy Spirit of power,
he didn’t say the spirit of power
and he’s the spirit of might.
We saw that happen to Samson.
But Jesus says he’s a
spirit of truth. He says,
I’ll pray the Father and he’ll give you
another helper. He’ll bite you forever.
The spirit of truth say truth.
Do you know that truth is now
a rare commodity in the world?
You know what’s true anymore?
You open up your YouTube,
you hear a debate about something,
one site says this.
Another side has another saying also even
among experts, doctors and all that,
they can say this diet is good.
And there are doctors who believe
you must eat 10 eggs a day
or even more good for you.
It’s called keto diet.
On the other hand, also experts,
doctors telling you don’t
do that. High cholesterol,
what is the truth? The truth
is the holy spirit of truth.
He will lead you and guide you when to eat
how much to eat.
You all know when you have that
little enough, enough really today.
But nevermind quench,
quench not the spirit there
for me. Quench and eat.
Then later on you got to quench
yourself with or something like
that. Because as it reflects off,
I mean the thing is that the spirit
of God will lead you to the truth.
He’s called the spirit
of truth. And Jesus says,
you shall know the truth and
the truth will make you free.
So the more we pray in the spirit,
the more we get in touch with
the Holy Spirit in us. Amen.
He will guide us into truth.
Because truth today, experts defer.
I mean they are post a
part in their opinion.
After you finish hearing a Devi debate,
sometimes many of you experience this on
your social media or whatever you say,
you’re no wiser.
In fact, you’re more confused.
There’s only one book you read that you
don’t want me confused is the word of
God. Amen. It sets you free.
Now listen to the degree right now,
to the degree that you are
experiencing some fear in your life
to the extent that there
are some anxieties.
That.
You are battling with right
now. Maybe it’s a fear of death.
Maybe it’s apprehension of the future.
Maybe it’s for your children
or a particular child that is
giving you some sleepless nights to the
extent that you are suffering
these negative emotions.
To that extent you are believing a lie.
And the only way to set
you free from all this,
which means to set you free from fears,
worries, depression is the truth.
Do you understand that? So how
can I tell I’m bleeding a lie?
You cannot tell because
if you believe a lie,
you do not know you’re believing a lie.
Because if you know you’re believing
a lie, you’ll not believe a lie.
You want to believe the truth. So
if you know you are believing a lie,
you will stop believing the lie.
That’s why the lie is so good
because the lie hides itself.
You don’t know it’s a lie.
The devil came to Adam Eve and made it
sound like the truth, but it was a lie.
You understand? Okay,
so we must humble ourself and say the
only way you can tell is your emotion.
You’re still worried about this area.
You’re still fearful about
that particular thing.
To that extent, you must tell yourself,
I’m believing something that is not true.
I’m believing a lie.
And that lie is from the enemy. It’s from
the devil. That lie is meant to steal,
kill, and destroy Just like the
truth. When you hear the truth,
it saves you, it heals you. Amen. Come on.
It delivers you. It sets
you free, right? Likewise,
that’s the effect of the
truth. How do you get safe?
The truth is preached to you.
Jesus Christ died for your sins.
You cannot save yourself
by your own performance.
Your good works only by grace
through faith are you saved. Amen.
You receive what Christ did for
you because of God’s love for you.
You believe the truth and it
sets you free. Hallelujah. Amen.
So there was a time in my
past where I pray this prayer,
almost every time I open
the Bible, I say, Lord,
unveil to me the truths that you
know I need that will set me free.
Obviously there are still
depressions that I feel there are.
Sometimes I wake up at nights
back then in cold sweat.
You ever been attacked at night and
you’re worried things always appear more
frightful at night. I dunno
why you have been there,
your heartbeat really fast and
you don’t have a heart disease.
Hot palpitations in the
middle of the night,
you feel like you’re getting a heart
effect. I’ve been there. You know why?
I believe a lie. So I go to
the Lord and ask the Lord,
why am I experiencing this?
So these are indicators,
your negative emotions and all that are
indicators that you are bleeding a lie.
But where do you find the truth?
Not from the YouTube. Okay,
not from the YouTube. You
must get it from His tube.
Let’s start one called He You. Amen.
You must get it from the
word of God. Jesus says,
if you continue my word now, we are going
back before the truth sets you free.
He says, if you continue
in my word, stay on it,
focus on it, continue in it. What
my word. If you continue my word,
then you shall know the truth
and the truth will make you free.
So it’s not the truth makes you free,
but the truth you know that makes
you free can have a good amen.
Amen. So another thing is this.
In the Old Testament of saying like
the Holy Spirit will come on Samson,
and then he will leave notice that the
Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon,
upon not in him, doesn’t
come to dwell in Him, right?
Only upon, by the way,
do you know the word mightily
here in the Hebrew is the word S
that amen
is the word that’s used
for our English word
prosper prosperity in the
Bible, for example, Joshua one,
eight, God says,
meditate on my word and you’ll make
your way prosperous in the Hebrew
ak, you’ll make your way. AK
Psalms one and the one who
meditates on God’s word, again,
whatever he does,
prosperous the word prosper.
There is alak. Interestingly,
the spirit of the Lord alak upon
Samson. What does that mean?
By the way, let’s do a
Young’s literal translation.
Young’s literal translation says,
and the spirit of Jehovah
prosperous over him.
That’s what it’s called. Literal
translation. What does that mean, Pastor?
Isn’t it interesting that word prosper
and the Holy Spirit go together?
In other words, when the
Holy Spirit comes on you,
whatever you are doing will
prosper. Amen? That’s what it means.
And even if physically you are
not up to par, you cannot do it.
The Holy Spirit can also come
on you as the spirit of might.
You can tear a lion apart and there’s a
picture of the roaring lion, the devil,
amen. Hallelujah. Greater is he that’s
in you than he that is in the world.
Now we come to something else, I
just say greater is he that’s in you,
the Holy Spirit than he
that is in the world.
So Jesus told his disciples
at a time, he says,
the spirit of truth from the world cannot
receive because in neither sees him
nor knows him. So the world,
your friends out there,
they do not know the Holy Spirit. They
cannot see him. Neither do they know him,
but you know him for he dwells with you.
So all this while the Holy Spirit dwells
with all the Old Testament saints,
even David, Moses,
Elijah, Zacharia, Isaiah,
all of them, Daniel, the
Holy Spirit came on them,
but he was never in them.
But Jesus, all the way into Jesus
time, the disciples, Jesus told them,
the Holy Spirit who is
with you will be in you.
He’ll be in you. Now why is it
the Holy Spirit cannot be in them?
Even the saints of all like
David, come on, Elijah,
Moses, all this wonderful man come.
The Holy Spirit is not in them.
So even the Old Testament,
Jesus has not yet died.
So the inside of them, the
spirit of men is not born again.
They’re not cleansed on the inside,
they are cleansed on the outside.
Do you understand? And that’s
why they bring animal sacrifices.
Because animal sacrifices
is like your visa card.
It’s not the real payment.
In case you don’t know that visa
card is not your real payment.
You have to pay one day and don’t delay.
You got to pay. So the animal sacrifice
have a sin, atonement, atonement,
cover it,
cover sins until Jesus came and
he remitted what He remitted,
remove all the sins by his blood.
So Jesus died on the cross to
cleanse us of all our sins.
So the fact that Jesus says the Holy
Spirit will be with you at that point in
time in the upper room, and
then he says he’ll be in you,
that means what? A change is coming.
He’s going to dwell now in you.
That means what? That means.
Jesus going to D down the cross and what
he did for us on the cross in burying
our sins and shutting his blood
or be something so stupendous that
today we are so clean by the blood of
that the Holy Spirit of God can dwell
in us.
And whenever the devil reminds
you how dirty you are, whatever,
just call it this, by the way that
came from inside, tell the other,
therefore that’s the
Holy Spirit in you. Amen.
Greater is he that’s in you
than he that’s in the world.
And that’s why in the Old Testament,
they never could pray in the Spirit.
If you look carefully,
you can see that all the
seven gifts of the Holy Spirit there,
but tongues and interpretation are
not there in the Old Testament.
They had all the other
gifts manifested. Why?
Because tongues is something from
inside rivers of living water.
It’s only for people who are so clean
by the blood of Jesus. Come on man,
I preach myself happy. Hallelujah.
You don’t have to clap.
I just let you know I’m
happy. Amen. He’s in us.
So sometimes I know what to say or
what to do. I just ask the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes I do that and the results are
miraculous. For example,
recently my son just confirmed with
me just now that it happened two weeks
ago. Justin reminded me sometimes my
son not sometimes what he does is that
the mother has gotten him a daily
devotional for kids his age and
he’s been doing that every night.
He reads one chapter
sequentially every day.
And I’ll wait. I won’t enter
his room until he finishes.
Then I’ll come in to say my good night.
And sometimes I’ll just ask the Lord,
give a word for Justin, a
word that will built him up,
a word that will minister Christ
to him. Give me a word, Lord.
So this particular night, I
think it was two weeks ago,
I came into his room after
he did his daily devo.
And I do not know what daily devo
he reads. It was bought by his mom.
But I went into just talk to him and
then we’ll talk about Liverpool and how
well Liverpool did and all that.
And you’ll never walk alone.
And they’re going to
do well again tonight.
And you’re going to bitman you for sure.
Okay? And then we are talking about it.
And then slowly I will just be
listening to the Holy Spirit giving me a
illustration. Issue comes up like a gentle
thought or a revelation. The Holy Spirit
guides you today, child of God, listen,
right by instinct, by
intuition, by inspiration,
by illumination, by revelation. Okay?
So these are the ways that
he’s like a river from inside.
So you can tell God your problem and
then pray in the spirit, pray in tongues,
and then let that just
float up the answer.
The book of Proverbs says, council, in
the heart of man is like deep water,
but a man of understanding will draw it
out. There’s a man filled the spirit.
Amen. Is darity the
answer? Are you listening?
So I asked the Lord and then I was talking
to him. And then this thing came up.
The word wind talkers. Wind talkers.
Now many of you remember the movie
Wind Talkers is a World War II movie.
At the time Japan and the US
was at war in the Pacific.
And what happened was that the US
was getting increasingly frustrated.
By the way, it’s based on a true story.
So I start telling Justin about the
benefits of speaking in tongues. Actually,
I want to illustrate that I felt the
spirit of God is prompting me to say that.
So I said, what illustration?
So this came up Wind Caucus. So I
start sharing with him about this wind
caucus,
how the US Army was getting their messages
that they pass on to the
other side, their site.
But it was being decoded. It
was being deciphered. Amen.
The Japanese were able to interpret
what they’re saying. Of course,
many of them know English as well.
So they’re trying to find
a language that is rare in
the world today. And guess what?
They found a Native
American tribe called Navajo
and their language is
a very rare language.
Then like today, Aite,
that Jesus spoke a type of
Hebrew, a Semitic language.
The Aite language is very rare.
There are still people in Israel
today that speaks that language.
So back then they found this group,
Navajo tribe of the Native Indians,
and they got 27 of them,
only 27 of them, not many.
And they got them in different parts
of the US Army so that they can pass
messages to each other that the messages
that the commandant want them to
pass on to the next site,
right to their site.
But they need a language that
cannot be decoded by the enemy.
So they got 27 of them
and they had to have soldiers watching
them because if one of them are kidnapped
or taken hostage, that’s it.
The language will be
corrected. Am I right?
So I shared with this and all
the world just space ladies,
his mom was open and he
let me talk somewhat.
And then he says, Abba, Abba, you
cannot believe it. I say, what is it?
You cannot believe it.
And I’m trying to tell him that this is
what happens when you pray in tongues.
The devil cannot decode
what you’re saying.
The devil cannot understand this heavenly
language. You are transcending him.
The devil doesn’t even know
that you know in the Spirit.
Amen.
The devil doesn’t know that
you are frustrating his
future plans of destruction
for your life. He doesn’t know
because why you’re praying the spirit.
Okay? So I was telling him this and
he said, his mouths open haah. I said,
what is it He did? A few times,
Haah. I said, what is it?
Just before you came in the chapter
I’m reading on in my daily devo,
he opened up wind talkers.
So I’m telling you that the
Holy Spirit does lead and guide
parents. You can ask the Lord
for the word your child needs.
And there was a left
impression on him just now.
He came in after the first service
from his rockets and a few Pastors were
there. So we had him share the story.
How many Navajo people were
there in the US Army? He says 27,
according to the book. So it’s
a true story that happened,
and it is how heaven has designed a
language that even when you’re cooking,
you don’t have to be occupied with it.
Even when you are driving,
you don’t have to concentrate because
God says you have not because you ask
not then you need to know and
ask before you have it right on.
In the Old Testament,
you do not know what to ask for
then you don’t get what you do,
not know what to ask
for. Are you listening?
Prayer is something that I’m telling you,
people want to pray and have
God answer their prayer.
But what if God gives you a
language that other people don’t
have that only heaven understands? Amen.
And that’s the language of the
Holy Spirit. So I told Justin,
Hey, you know what is this? God
is talking to you. I tell you,
it is an amazing moment
of awe and majesty, the presence of God.
When you look at his face, he knew
that God is talking to him. Amen.
Praise the Lord. So Jesus says, the
Holy Spirit will be who is with you.
He will be in you. Amen?
Amen. Now, there’s something very
interesting about the Holy Spirit.
He best witness with our spirit. Okay?
Now watch this in the same
upper room, Jesus in John 16,
he’s still in the upper
room and he says this,
I still have many things to say to
you, but you cannot bear them now.
You cannot bear them now, but however,
when the spirit of truth has
come, again, the spirit of truth,
before he can be the spirit of power
in your life or the spirit of might
coming upon you, he wants
to be the spirit of truth,
which is the emphasis of our Lord Jesus.
When the spirit of truth has come,
he will guide you into all truth.
Now, they don’t just say Bible truth,
all truth, that God has
all the truth that God has.
Of course, the word of God is the
truth that God has rebuilt to men.
The word of God does not contain
truth. It is the truth. Amen.
But truth about parenting,
truth about bringing up
children, there’s so many ideas.
Some people say you be more
accommodating as a parent or else your
child will resent you.
And I don’t want to say never
correct your child or else child.
How do we in French and influence
people? Never criticize. Okay?
So the kind of thing. So you’re
trying to your best. And again,
just like the egg syndrome,
eat eggs or don’t eat eggs.
Very simple. For me, I see what Pastor
Mark was and what Pastor Mark is today.
You’ll be confused without the truth,
but the spirit of God will lead you into
our truth. In parenting. For example,
I learned something from the
Lord, just from his parable,
the parable of the prodigal
son, about parenting. Now,
I’m not looking at it as a story that
Jesus shared about the Father being God
the Father,
and the son that went astray and the
son who stayed put the legally son are
pictures of all of us. Okay? I’m
looking at it as an area of parenting.
Would you say he’s a good parent?
Would you say he’s a good parent? Yes.
He’s the epitomy of the Father. Amen.
The father is portrayed
that by our Lord Jesus.
None other than our Lord himself
saying that’s the Father, right?
And what did the Father do
with the son when the son says,
give me my shelf inheritance. In
other words, in essence he’s saying,
I can’t wait for you to die.
You are living for too long already.
I want to have my money now. I want my
inheritance now. So the Father gave him,
the Father did not reason with him.
The Father did not persuade him.
The Father did not say, no way.
I won’t give it to you until,
no, the Father. Actually,
I’m not talking about children now.
I’m talking about older children,
probably 10 years.
Sometimes you got to
let them make the choice
and learn from their choice.
Parents stop protecting them all the
time. You tend to solve things with money.
You buy them what they want, everything,
and you don’t instill in
them a chance to learn how to
earn, how to make a living
or even, for example,
sparing them of the consequence
of their bad behavior or unwise
decision. For example,
they always sleep late and they go to
school late and they get in trouble with
the teachers and all that,
and you are trying to cover for them
and you’re trying to stop doing that.
Let ’em face the consequence. They
don’t want to do their homework.
Don’t knack at them. Let ’em
suffer the consequence in school.
Wow, what kind of parenting is
that? Truth? Parenting. Okay,
based on the word. See, the
Father, the father sought,
the father knew if the son, yes,
his inheritance before the time
he knew he’d be in trouble,
but the father let him
go. The father let him go.
We’re talking about older kids now let
him go and face the consequences of his
actions. And of course,
and at first he had a lot of friends
because he had a lot of money,
and then he was whining and dining
and spent time with prostitutes.
The Bible tells us, and then when his
money ran out, his friends also ran out,
right? He was left all
alone in the pig pan.
And then he came to his senses
when go back to his father, right?
And what did the father do?
The father ran to him and embraced
his son who now had a filthy
stench of pigs and all that.
And the father hugged him.
Imagine the impact on the Jewish
people and how they view pigs
and the son, when Jesus shut this,
they were shattering at the very
part of the Father, hugging the son,
and the father hugged the son and
the father kissed him. Question,
did the father love him before he left?
Did the son experience his love?
Did the son know that he was loved?
Good question.
Both sons doesn’t seem
to indicate that they
feel they were loved, but the
truth is the father loved them.
So it doesn’t really matter that you
really love your son or you love your
daughter. The question is, do they
experience it? Do they believe in it?
There are men who commit adultery
after some protracted time or
where they feel like they feel
always, they feel like inferior
compared to the wife even,
or they feel that the wife doesn’t love
them or she said that because she’s
finding fault with me and
all that. And in truth,
he’s experiencing all these negative
emotions because he believe a lie.
But in truth, the wife loves him.
Now he’s a candidate for an affair.
He can also work vice versa.
A woman doesn’t give herself
away until she feels unloved.
So men and woman, both now
many cases are like that.
It is not the fact that it’s the
husband’s fault or the wife’s fault.
Sometimes it’s not the wife’s
fault. It’s not the husband’s fault.
It’s their fault. Something
that probably they grew up with.
I’m never enough. You see, the way
she talked to me, she disrespects me.
See the way he looks at me,
the way he tells me that kind of
thing is because he doesn’t love me.
It’s something that’s there
not inherent in the spouse.
So even if the spouse love them, the
truth is the spouse really love them.
Like the father of the prodigal son
who is a picture of God himself,
truly love his son. The son
never believed in it. So
the result is what?
He leaves a lie because he believed a lie.
So the son came back to experience love,
but was it then that the
father loved him? No.
It was then that he believed
the Father loves him.
So it’s not enough to tell
your children, I love you.
I grabbed my boy, I said, I love you.
Then he walks away, look me in the eye.
I really love you.
Even you don’t make it for your
studies or exam. Of course,
I want him to make it love, but I know
that by affirming him, he’ll make it.
Because the Bible tells us that when
Jesus received the baptism of the Holy
Spirit, Jesus actually, listen,
when he received Beth Holy Spirit,
he was actually affirmed by his
father at the same time. By the way,
the Lord came as a
pattern man, our exemplar,
our forerunner. He’s an example
to all of us. So he came as a man,
although he’s God, he came in human flesh.
He didn’t draw upon his
godness to do miracles.
He had to be baptized in
the Holy Spirit as a man.
He had to baptize in the Holy Spirit.
And that’s why the Bible says,
until he was baptized in the
Holy Spirit at the river Jordan,
he never did a miracle.
He never did any miracle because the
first miracle was turning water into wine.
He’s setting us an example,
and those of you who are
baptized in the Holy Spirit,
now you have the power to heal the sick.
Of course, it’s the power of
God, by God works through men.
Now you have the power.
Amen. To cast out demons.
If you’re sick yourself, lay your
hands on yourself. Amen. Amen.
You’ve got a part of your body, very
rebellious. Don’t listen to you one. Amen.
It always breaks out or whatever.
Say break out, stop. In Jesus’ name,
pain comes here. Pain come
there. You don’t like pain, pain,
I rebuke you in Jesus’ name.
Be blocked up by your roots.
Be thrown into the sea. In
Jesus’ name. Amen. Amen. Amen.
You got to eye that. Alright, rebellious,
say I stop twisting in Jesus’ name.
Amen. No, stop running in
Jesus name. Amen. Brain,
stop shrinking. In Jesus’ name,
amen. You can speak
well, it sounds so foolish talking to
these kind of things, foolish for you,
not for Jesus. He spoke to
the tree, the tree died.
He spoke to the stormy winds. The
winds all cowed out to him. And listen,
he spoke to leprosy, leprosy, obeyed
and departed. He spoke to demons.
Demons left.
So for you’re too logical,
so therefore you shall
remain the way you are.
As for me and my house, we’ll
follow the way of the Lord. See,
the brain doesn’t like it.
The brain wants to logic everything
out the way of faith. No, no, no. See,
when God made you child of
God, listen, when God made you,
he made you like this Tripartite
because there are three divine
persons. One God, we
don’t say tree, God, one,
God triune God, but three distinct
persons. Father, son, holy Spirit,
when God made you, God made your spirit,
soul, body, you are a spirit. See,
I am a spirit. See I have a
soul. Soul. That’s your mind,
your emotions area. And I live in
a body. So you are not your body.
You live in a house called body.
Amen. Some of us condominium,
some are painted very nice,
your windows very long. One the curtains.
Amen. Amen. And some of you,
your walls are all pink and wow,
it reminds me of that lady that comes
up to do announcements sometimes.
That lady over there, Hey man, she
can clean the floor man with her eyes.
Stop it Pastor Prince, okay?
But you are not your
body. You live in a body.
God made you a spirit like him. You’re
made in the image of God, which part?
His spirit. He’s spirit. God
is spirit and you are spirit.
And then you have a mind, your
soul, and you live in a body.
So God meant for you to operate. Your
spirit knows things faster than your mind.
That’s why when you sit down here many
a times and you’ve been safe and all
that, and you hear me preach
about Jesus and all that,
you hear me preach about
God’s ways and all that,
and something in you says
that’s the truth. I know that,
but somehow my mind can’t catch up on
it. My mind doesn’t understand it fully,
but in my heart, I know
it’s true. Truth resonates.
There’s a sounding vow of
truth in your spirit. In fact,
there’s a very beautiful verse in one
John two that says you have an unction
from the holy one and you know all things.
You have an anointing from the holy
one. The Neut translation says,
and you know all things. And the
next verse says, I write to you,
not because you do not know
it, but because you know it.
Wow. What is this I write to you?
That means the word of God is
written to resonate with deep down in
us. Truth responds to truth.
Deep elephant deep. You understand?
So many of times your mind
can understand everything.
That’s why when you go into business and
all that, you don’t go by your brain,
your logic, everything looks
fine. This guy looks fine,
his stats and all that and all the
profile and all that seems go okay in
place and all that. But something
deep down inside says, no, no, no.
Something fishy about this person.
Something. There’s no peace inside.
There’s no witness inside.
Tone, take time, pray about it.
Amen. Women are better in this.
Sometimes women say, I dunno,
don’t trust that guy, darling,
don’t do that. Darlene. We are
Christians must love everyone,
But women are very good. They’re sharp,
they’re like children without children.
Say say hi to uncle and she’s shy with
my uncle. Instead of scolding your son,
you must ask the Lord, is your
son responding by his instinct?
Maybe there’s something
wrong with this guy.
You teach him to respond and say hi to
every stranger. Then don’t cry later on.
It’s okay for a child to
doubt a stranger, it’s good
they are alive spiritually on the inside.
And I mean that in the sense
that when they’re young,
they’re in an innocent
stage, their spirit responds.
Whereas most of us in our later
years, our spirits dayden,
we need to be born again. For sure.
Of course, every child is born in sin.
But when a child dies
straight away in heaven,
regardless of the family’s belief,
all children go to heaven.
Okay, back to this.
So your mind picks it up, how to
decide on which university to go,
who to marry John or Richard or John.
Cook some ghost for sure.
This one, okay. This is not brain,
this is body. Really Many of you,
you chose this church to be
yours because when you came here,
it’s like coming home.
There’s something about it that deep
down your field at home, amen. If not,
there’s not the place for you.
And there are many good churches in
Singapore and around the world. Amen.
Find one that you feel at home because
the number one way, the Holy Spirit.
Now I’m bringing this to a close
because of time, I just got started.
Amen. So the very first area,
the Holy Spirit leads us just like
just came out of the water baptism.
The Father says, you are my beloved
son in you. I’m well pleased.
And the Holy Spirit came on Jesus.
That was when Jesus was
baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Notice he goes together with
the Father’s declaration.
You are my beloved son
in you. I’m well pleased.
Even before Jesus has accomplished any
miracles, we need to affirm our children,
that we love them before
they pass their appear,
before they accomplish something,
they need to know that we love
them and pray that they believe it.
Amen. So if only we taught people that
when you’re baptized in the Holy Spirit,
the number one thing the Holy Spirit does,
it makes you feel that
you are God’s beloved.
It makes sense the love of God because
the first mention of the Holy Spirit in
the Magna Carta of Christianity,
the book of Romans, alright,
I know the first part mentioned the
spirit of holiness in chapter one,
but that’s just an introduction.
But the first mention of the Holy Spirit
in book of Romans is here. It says,
because the love of God has been poured
out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who
was given to us. Not the love for
God, but the love of God means.
God’s love for you. He
gives you a sense what?
When you receive the Holy Spirit, he
gives you a sense that you are loved.
When Peter was called to
preach in Cornelia’s house,
the house of the Gentiles,
the Italians and Peter went there to
preach. And the Bible says all the
Gentiles, because they were all Italians.
It’s the first time Gentiles received
the gospel. Amen. Let’s follow the story.
And he was preaching all the way,
and he came to this point here where Peter
sermon, Peter says to him, to Christ,
all the prophets agree that everyone
who believes in Christ receives
forgiveness of sins through his name.
While Peter was still
speaking these things,
the Holy Spirit, what fell
on all who hurt the Word?
Do you see that the Holy Spirit fell
on what? All? Who heard the word?
Everyone heard the word, the Holy
Spirit fell when he said these words.
What words were they?
Everyone who believes in him receives.
I think the Holy Spirit loves
the message of grace. I said,
the Holy Spirit loves the
message of grace. You see today,
if someone reads that someone
preaches like Pastor Prince,
preach everyone who believes
in him, too simple, too simple.
You must tell them,
everyone who repents of their
sin turn away from their sin,
put their trust in
Jesus, then they’re safe,
but cannot just say everyone who believes
in him receive forgiveness of sins.
Well, You should have come
earlier and advised Peter,
but poor Peter, his message is
too simple, it’s too unqualified.
Amen. Too unconditional.
Everyone who believes receives
the forgiveness of sins
because of what Jesus did.
And obviously the Holy Spirit loved these
words because it was at this point in
the sermon,
the Holy Spirit interrupted him and
fell while he was saying these things.
The Holy Spirit fell on all. Who heard
the word? The next verse actually says,
and they began to speak in tongues.
Now the word fell here
in the Greek is the same
word as the father of the prodigal
son. When he saw his son come back,
he ran to him. Embrace him
is a bear hug, a love embrace,
and the Holy Spirit emphasizing this
word embrace to all of us this year,
and the Holy Spirit actually gave
them all a bear hug. So again,
the first sense of the Holy Spirit in our
lives when we are baptized in the Holy
Spirit is that we are
loved can have a good amen.
So look at Romans eight 16. We close
with this. Romans eight 16 says,
the spirit himself bears witness with
our spirit that we are children of God.
Say amen. The first witness is
that we are children of God.
Amen. I remember years ago when I
just got baptized in the Holy Spirit,
I was in a different church and a church
that didn’t believe in the gifts of the
Holy Spirit and the praying tongues
and all that. So one of my leaders,
elder in the church, he actually heard
that I got baptized in the Holy Spirit,
actually got baptized in the Holy Spirit
one night and I was a young teenage boy
At that time I didn’t know any better,
but I believed the Lord when I found
out about the teaching of the Bath Holy
Spirit.
And I believed the Lord and the Lord
baptized me in the Holy Spirit on my own.
And I wrote a better beautiful song.
You want me to sing the song? Okay,
next time. Okay. On the same night.
And when I started sharing
with my leaders and all that,
it was a church that didn’t believe in
the baptism of the Holy Spirit for today
and the gifts of healings and
all that. And the guy says,
I think you need the deliverance. And
somehow my mind was so confused, I said,
this is not God said, no,
he’s a devil.
So he brought me to a church where
there’s a man there that’s
known for deliverance.
So he brought me to that church and
the guy said his, in other words,
he doesn’t believe in the B Holy
Spirit, but he believe in deliverance.
Interesting. So he said, okay, pray
in tongues. He got me sitting on it,
pray in tongues, pray in
tongues. So I pray in tongues,
say I bind that tongue in Jesus’
name and the tongue just went on. So
I had that tongue in Jesus’ name
and he here his other Pastors around
him, his leaders and all that.
There were a few of them and I was like
outnumbered and I bind it. Finally,
he got a bit tired. They said, I
called Michael the archangel down.
I’ll never forget it.
I called Michael down and
with his strong ropes and
bind his tongue. I dunno what Michael
did, but the tongue went on Chaka.
Sure. Finally he got tired. He got tired,
he ding ding himself. And the elder
that brought me, he was from my church,
he was there also. And then he got up,
he went I where he went toilet
or whatever, and he was tired.
And then the elders left for a while,
left me there with one of his assistants,
a fellow Pastor and the guy
look around, he look around,
he look around and he said, Hey, just
now when you pray in tongue, sir,
I think you said the word shaina.
I said, I did. Yeah, yeah. Shaina.
He look around, actually Shaina
means glory of God. Then he ran off.
So that Pastor has a secret
charismatic guy. Spirit filled
and he came back. The Pastor came
back. I have one conclusion. I said,
what is it? He said that I think your
case is that you’re never safe in the
first place. He said that
You’re never safe. I said,
why am I not saved? I believe
on the Lord Jesus. Oh,
because have you kept the thank
commandments? He told me, I said,
thank her moments. No, no,
I don’t even know how the thank for
moments is recited. He says, well,
lemme show you. He brought thank
her moments and he told me this,
have you done this? No. Even in your
mind, have you done this? I said, yes,
done this. Yeah. All the way to
Daron hub, the last one. He says,
there you broke all. How can you be safe?
He literally said that to me
and that’s how he left me.
So my elder brought me home. The
next day I went to my church.
It was a Sunday and the elder was
there. He said, how are you? I,
I said one thing. I felt a bit
exasperated. I said, one thing,
I want to tell you this. The last
part when he says, I’m not a believer,
I cannot agree, something inside
me says, I am a child of God
and good for the elder. He says, don’t
worry about that. I believe you are.
Yeah. Don’t let anyone tell
you you’re not a child of God.
You know on the inside there’s
a nowhere inside you. Amen.
And this is so important because
when you know you’re a child of God,
watch this, I’m going backwards and
then I will close. Okay? Watch this.
The Spirit himself, best witness of
spirit that we are turn of God. You say,
Pastor Prince, I have a problem with
pornography. How does all this help me?
How does the Holy Spirit help me?
Well, not by might, not by power,
but by my spirit, says the
Lord. It’s not by human power,
not by willpower, not by
discipline, not by she grit.
But the Holy Spirit is going
to help you like this. Listen,
when the Holy Spirit comes, what
do you sense that you are love.
That you are a child of
God, you’re a son of God.
The verse before this in context says,
you do not receive the spirit of
slavery again to fear or slavish fear.
Spirit of bondage again to fear. This
fear is the wrong kind of fear of God.
The Old Testament way,
fearing God in the wrong way.
You do not receive the
spirit. Notice the word again.
You have not received the spirit. Okay?
You have not received the
spirit of bondage again to fear,
but you receive what the spirit of
adoption here in the Greek is the word
sonship. All of you listen. You
have received the spirit of sonship.
One of the first cries
of a child is bababa.
Justin’s first cry was baba. It’s
like God designed them to say Abba,
and the Hebrew child was called the
Father daddy. In the words Abba.
Abba translated here for us. Abba. Father,
the spirit of sonship
makes us cry. Abba, amen.
So why is this important?
See, notice the word four.
Now you’re going to see the 4, 4, 4.
That’s why I’m going in reverse
and then we’ll close. Okay? Now,
if I say I need someone to
help me carry this pulpit down,
because four, it is heavy.
Notice why is the fall there?
Because to explain why I need
someone to help me carry,
because four is also
because the reason is heavy.
So now we’re going to go backwards
because it’s showing you the,
this helps you do this. This
explains this. You understand? Okay,
look at this.
But what is this? Do pornography,
I’m using pornography or any
addiction you have as an example.
This is how you’re set free the
spirit of sonship best witness verse.
It’s the spirit of sonship and
then the verse before that,
as many as are led by the spirit
of God, these are sons of God.
So how many want to be
led by the Holy Spirit?
He teaches you to prophet and leads
you by the way you should go. Amen.
How to be led by the Spirit. The Holy
Spirit leads you the spirit of sonship.
Now watch this, the
verse before this says,
if you live after the flesh, if you
live after the flesh, you will die.
But if by the Spirit you put the
death, the death of the body,
you will live. Now listen, if
you live after pornography,
you live after alcohol being drunken,
you live after gluttony, another
sinful manifestation of the flesh,
whatever it is, okay, listen,
you will die.
Now, it doesn’t mean physical death,
ultimately it’ll be physical
death, but it’s also mental death.
You find your mind doesn’t function
the way it should function anymore.
Death in your relationships that many
times is a true thing that happens
to people. Hook on pornography,
even their mind also yet a
death sentence and it’s a
consequence. So if you leave
after the flesh, you’ll die.
This is your New Testament verse.
But watch, this is the good news.
But if you true the spirit,
if by the spirit you put to
death the deeds of the body,
you will live either you put to
death the deeds of the body or
those sinful deeds will put you to death.
But how do you put it
to death by the spirit,
not by sheer determination,
not by the gritting your teeth and say,
I’m going to do it no
matter what it takes. No,
no willpower can make you
overcome this addictions or this
bondage, but by the spirit.
And that’s why he says,
how is it how the spirit manifest
like this? How do I like the spirit?
You’re led by the spirit. How
does it feel like being led?
He gives the spirit that you’re
love. You’re a son of God. So Frank,
can you see how preaching to
people, but son of God and all that.
Now I believe in repentance.
Repentance is involved,
but sometimes repentance don’t
even mentioned at all. Okay?
Like in the gospel of John, you have
the word belief used so many times,
repent not one time in the gospel of John,
but is repentance a
validity? Yeah, but listen,
when you put your faith in Jesus, extend,
whoever believes in Jesus
receive remission of sins.
The word repentance is not there. But
every time you believe you repent.
Lemme say this, I’m now looking
at, okay, Pastor Daniel is here.
I’m looking at him. Okay?
That means I’m turning away.
I’m repenting from the screen. Am I right?
Okay, now, if I turn to the screen,
I’m turning away from Pastor Dan.
I’m facing the screen. So listen,
every time you turn to God,
you turn your back on sin.
Sin is not together with God.
I hope you understand that. Alright, so
you don’t have to mention repentance.
Believing on Christ implies repentance.
Are you listening people? So
actually is this spirit of sonship.
I wish that we have told
people from the start, amen.
Everywhere in the charismatic world,
especially in the spirit’s filled world,
because they’re the ones that
believe in the B or the Holy Spirit.
We just told him it’s not so
much about the love of power.
It is the power of love. Amen. He comes
to let you know that the love of God,
God loves you. You are the object
of God’s affections and love. Amen.
You’re a son of God that gives
you a sense of inheritance. Amen.
Amen. My son, don’t have to ask me,
oh, senior Pastor of new creation,
doubt be so kind as to
give me a glass of milk.
Something is wrong.
Anyone saying that kind of thing
would think I’m an abusive father?
Am I right now? No. My son
go around this. I take,
I mean the milk and all that, and he
drinks. I must teach him to say thank you,
right? He takes wine.
He’s part of the family.
We only have to teach them to say
thank you because that’s also courage.
Thanks. Are you with me so far?
Because it’s only this far I
can bring you because why time?
We all bound by time. Okay. Amen.
I got to let you go.
Hope you appreciate me appearing
just to let you know all this, huh?
Okay. Give the praise
to Jesus. Hallelujah.
Amen. Know this, you are loved.
Amen. Let John who practiced
Jesus love for him.
Although Jesus loved all the 12 disciples,
John knew it. John believed in it.
John calls himself the disciple of
Jesus love. Imagine how Peter felt.
Always hearing I’m the
disciple of Jesus love. Amen.
It’s everyone’s privileged to believe
that. Amen. Because he does love you,
you personal love and be conscious
of that. Know that your son of God,
and when you’re praying,
you’re praying to God,
you will know that it’s a family thing.
It’s not a God far away
almighty God. No, no.
We can worship God as God but his
father when it comes to prayer,
when it comes to convenience with him.
Amen. Every head vowed, every eye close,
all across this place, everywhere
that’s watching this right now. Fran,
believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and you shall be saved.
And your house, it’s not by chance
you’re hearing this word today.
Put your trust in the Lord Jesus
Christ. Pray this prayer with me.
Say this right now after
me, Say, father in heaven,
thank you for the gift of your son,
my Lord Jesus Christ.
I believe Christ died on
the cross for all my sins.
He was buried. And on the third day,
you raised him from the dead
to declare that I’m righteous, that
all that he did for me on the cross,
it is fully efficacious and is finished.
I am forgiven of all my sins,
past, present, and future.
And Jesus Christ is my
Lord. In Jesus name.
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Amen. Stand to your feet.
I bless you with a blessing.
The benediction that Paul pronounced
over the Corinthian church,
which is a very carnal church, and
not because you are a carnal, okay,
but imagine this can be
said over carnal church.
How much more new creation church
this coming week from hands
forth and throughout this week,
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God
and the sweet communion of the Holy Spirit
be with you throughout this,
with you in Jesus’ name,
and all the people said,
amen. See you. God bless.
Introducing the new
Joseph Prince app!
We’ve designed
the new app
with one thought in mind:
To make connecting
with the Lord daily
simple and easy for you.
Through the guided
daily experience,
spend time in His presence
and build a habit of
starting your day right
with the word of God.
Let’s pray this short prayer together.
Heavenly Father, thank you
for your deep love
and detailed care for me.
I’m grateful that you
value me so much
and that you know
even before I ask
what I really need.
Help me to remember
that no problem or need
is too small for you
to handle.
I bring all my cares to you,
knowing that you are
attentive to every little
detail of my life.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
Today, everyone is
looking to amuse themselves.
They are engaged in
social media because
there’s a constant craving
to be amused.
Musing is opposite
from amusement.
To amuse means you are
silently contemplating,
meditating, so shut down
everything else that
will distract you.
Spend time, bring up
the Word of Scripture.
Meditate on it and
the Word of God
will release health,
life, prosperity into your life.
Thanks to the support
of our Gospel Partners,
the daily experience is
now free for everyone!
Try it now on the brand-new
Joseph Prince App.
