into the Word of God today let’s pray
and we’ll do that father we worship you
again today we bring these broadcasts
before you Lord and we are so thankful
for the opportunity once again to come
around your word and to find out who you
are from the pages of this Living Word
your Living Word to us and in us I’m
thanking you today Lord I’m so thankful
to you that you are so eager to reveal
yourself we ask you today to give us
again eyes that see Jesus and ears that
hear his voice and hearts that
understand who he is in us and who we
are in him we thank you and we praise
you today in Jesus name Amen
listen if you haven’t been a part of
these broadcasts yet this week you need
to go back kcn org and download those
they’re absolutely free get caught up
with us because we have been sitting at
this table with Pastor Joseph Prince all
the way from Singapore sir thank you so
much once again for being on these
broadcasts this is a longtime friend and
partner of this ministry Kenneth
Copeland ministries I know my
grandparents were in your country 2005 I
think and I you were a strong support to
them in that meeting and I know they’ve
never think about helping them and I of
course they love you and they love your
ministry and this this unrelenting
desire that you have that people see
Jesus and I can tell you to serve
personally that when when I sit and I
listen to your ministry
I quit looking at you I hope you’re okay
with that but I just look at Jesus amen
I just see him and I’m thankful that’s
been a blessing what I desire both
everything else that people see Jesus
fall in love with him it’s not about
Joseph being on Jeremy Priya since you
know it’s not about it’s about us it’s
about him yes it is that must be why my
my son says he doesn’t want to be a
preacher like daddy I you’ve heard me
tell us on this broadcast before but I
asked my son he was now three and he was
2 at the time I said justice you want to
be preacher like dad and he said no
Joseph Pince
and I guess he was having a hard time
with his ours at that one but he he
knows you and even as a two-year-old
just
we have it on in the house he’s just
soaking it in and your your little one
is not too young to be around the Word
of God to be around the anointed word
Jesus began growing in the Grace on his
life from the very beginning and our
little ones should be doing the same
things right we closed yesterday’s
broadcast by talking about something
that I know you’re met with a lot when
people I don’t think it’s by anybody
that’s actually heard you preach I think
it’s by people who have heard from
others something that you’ve said or or
something they thought you said and I
know that’s something my grandfather
even 40 almost 47 well over 47 years ago
now started preaching so strong on faith
in God and faith in Jesus faith in the
word and people almost immediately
started talking it was well hyper faith
oh yeah and in saying all this stuff but
you know what it did is it made people
run out there and get these tapes what
is it I’m not supposed to be listening
to which is kind of funny because that’s
what the law will do to somebody you
tell a little kid don’t go on the street
don’t go on the street don’t go on the
street well what do they want to do
no one goes right yeah well the same
thing has happened I believe to you in
some cases in your ministry where people
have heard something that they thought
you said was they well he’s he’s just
preaching a message that you know
anybody can go out there and sin and
I’ve heard you say this too once you go
ahead on this broadcast and just tell us
where you stand on sin I always say I
Joseph Prince and I’ll rattle off my
serial number oh man conventional ID in
Singapore and I’ll say that I’m
categoric categorically against but
humanely against sin yeah
okay sin will take your father then you
want to go keep you longer than you want
to stay it will cost you more than you
want to pay all right sin destroys
there’s no doubt about it all right I am
for holiness
I think we’re differ from some people is
this how to get there from here yeah
all right this says by your efforts
right you do it hard enough strong
enough discipline enough I say it’s by
grace yeah okay but grace has become a
cliche I had a had a precious man of God
in
my country that asked me out one time
for tea and he wanted to know how our
church grew so fast you know in such a
short time so I told him is the grace of
God you know and he looked at me and
says yeah it’s the grace of God what are
you doing
right right you know he wants he wants
the formula but the grace of God is no
longer an answer for many people yeah
he’s a cliche that you put at the front
of a sentence or the end of a sentence
but you really mean it yeah it means my
whole life yeah it’s my whole life and I
think that Jesus grace is spelled Jes us
is Jesus you know the law was given by
Moses is 7 but grace and truth came by
Jesus Christ
now this truth is there on the side of
grace but the law is true but that’s not
it’s not law and truth if the law was
given by Moses and who is Moses a
servant who is Jesus the Son and and and
we we esteemed the sermon greater than
the son yeah yeah so that that is the
thing but when it comes to holiness we
touch on this last night yesterday how
when Peter first knew Jesus he knew him
the aspect of his holiness and rightly
so Jesus is holy and and and he’s Trice
holy but his holiness is such debt is
holiness without fanaticism okay it’s
conviction without intolerance or he
could move among the the sinners they
could touch him and they could receive
all right it wasn’t this
holier-than-thou but the one aspect that
the Lord wants us to know him more than
anything else is his love and they will
take an eternity for us to know because
when when Peter all right in in in the
two weeks after his resurrection
Peter was fishing with John and all the
rest and and Peter knew Jesus in his
love now because he’s been forgiven of
denying Jesus with cursing and swearing
so we touch on that and a none good
further in Galatians chapter 4 today we
look at Israel now when Israel was a
Shia look at verse verse 1 of chapter 4
Galatians now I say that the heir
as long as he is a child now in the
great child here is the word nappy oz
the word son is who use who use is full
sonship mature sonship
where you inherit everything but as long
as as he is a child and a pious and
infant he does not differ at all from a
slave though his master of all okay
though his master of all but he does not
differ from a slave
imagine you have a a domestic helper at
home with a friend okay but that friend
is not your heir justice is yeah but
justice cannot cannot fly your plane
he cannot drive your car he cannot you
have a beautiful car you know its
horsepower I mean Lamborghini or
whatever but he cannot he cannot he
gonna tried it I don’t have that he
doesn’t have it I’m just proper slaying
here yeah that I receive it and and the
thing is this but but justice cannot do
that right because justice is still an
infant yeah but is he the heir of it yes
so when issue was an heir the Bible says
all right God put him under guardians
verse to Gardens guardians and ski words
unto the time appointed by the father so
guardians and stewards is the law and
the prophets because the entire book of
Galatians are my law and grace so when
Israel was a Napier’s God put Israel
under law okay the Ten Commandments all
right now even so when we were children
when he mentioned we here here in
particular this passage he is talking
about the Jews he’s identifying with his
Jewish heroes all right when we were
children when we were nappy Oz we were
in bondage under the elements of the
world but what elements here Stoick in
which is the ABCs Greek word for ABCs
elementary or a kindergarten we were
under the elements the lowest elementary
okay but when the fullness of the time
had come God sent forth his son born of
a woman born under the law to redeem
those who were under the law that we
might receive the adoption as sons now
the what adoption is not there literally
it is placement as sons and the word
sons here is not no longer nap yes but
who yours full mature sonship Jesus
brought full mature sonship the moment
you are born again you are full mature
son in terms of your position in Christ
yeah okay and that’s why we can cry all
right
abba father it is deadly literally
deadly and and the thing is this it’s
interesting when people say that grace
grace is wonderful grace is basic you
know we need to know grace young
converts you know need to know grace but
let’s go into holiness you know as if
holiness is a deeper stuff but actually
the thing is this when Israel was under
when Easter was an infant at baby God
gave them the law for 1,500 years
because God wanted him no all right by
the law no one no one can be made
righteous by the law is the knowledge of
sin not not righteousness when the
fullness of time came God sent his son
and brought grace so which one is mature
all right grace gave us maturity who use
log made Israel and infant you know when
when Jessica was young her friends would
come over to my house okay and I would
tell them don’t go to the kitchen
don’t play in the kitchen all right
don’t touch the guest stuff don’t play
with the kitchen knives also so lost
okay now if you come to my house okay
and I say to you Jeremy
don’t touch the kitchen kitchen knives
alright don’t don’t don’t clear the
guest of you know I’ll be insulting you
and I’m saying so which is maturity when
Israel was an infant God put them on the
law we have it backwards yeah wow we
have to identify we know who our Father
is amen one of the things that I believe
has been so strong and in a revival a
rescues me revelation the way it comes
to you is identifying who your mother is
and I know that sounds strange when
you’re just sitting there listening I
know who my mom is but it’s scripturally
we’re on which side of this walk us
through that because it’ll make much
more sense coming out of here than it
does even at me I sit on the same
chapter in Galatians chapter 4 let’s go
to verse right now we’re in Galatians 4
let’s drop down right now to verse 21
tell me the Apostle Paul says tell me
you who desire to be under the law or
he’s talking to people who desire to be
under the law you who desire to be under
the law do you not hear the law now
before I go through this I must tell
this alright this is this is a powerful
revelation that God just shook me with
it you know if you look at verse nine it
mentions the law the stoichiometry and
beggarly in verse nine the weak and
beggarly elements are ABCs he calls it
weak and beggarly do you know that what
wick in the Greek is the same word for
heal the sick jesus healed the sick
that’s the word for weak the word
beggarly here is the same greek word as
there was a beggar named Bartimaeus it
means poverty so what would the Lord do
it brings you to a place of sickness
alright and poverty nothing wrong with
the law yeah all right well keep you a
slave nothing wrong with the law the law
is holy by cannot make you holy the law
is just by cannot justify you I thought
I just put that in yeah okay but look at
what we talked about just now tell me
who designed to be under the law do you
not hear the law it is written that
Abraham had two sons the one by a bond
woman which is Hagar Hagar was from
Egypt alright
the the other by a freewoman and we know
that Sarah Abraham’s wife but he who was
of the bondwoman of Hagar which is
Ishmael he was born according to the
flesh
notice how God defines the flesh
self-effort
so Hagar excuse me Ishmael was born of
Hagar when Abram still had strength yeah
okay and he are the free woman true
promise which means by the spirit all
right Abram could not perform anymore if
I can put that way he cannot have the
strength and God came in yeah and Isaac
was born so watch this which things are
symbolic these two women they are
symbolic all right I didn’t say the
Bible says it for these are the two
covenants the old and the new the one
from Mount Sinai which gives birth to
bondage which is harder the Ten
Commandments is from Mount Sinai the
laws are from Mount Sinai and Mount
Sinai is Hagar that slave girl and it
produces what bondage for this Hagar is
Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to
Jerusalem which now is and is a bondage
with her children but the Jerusalem
above is free who is the mother of us
all that’s Sarah okay so which are you
right which the viewers that are
watching I like to ask the question are
you my brother are your brother from
another mother yeah you know so the
thing is this we have the same just like
Ishmael Isaac they have the same
Heavenly Father it’s the tenth father
Abraham yeah so we have the same
Heavenly Father okay but they have
different mamas okay Ishmael’s mother is
Hagar which is the law from Mount Sinai
which produces bondage Isaac’s mother is
Sarah which is grace so the Bible tells
us he goes on to say verse 28 bloody
drop down to verse 28 but we brethren as
Isaac was attune of promise but as he
who was born according to the flesh
which is Ishmael then persecuted him
there was born according to the spirit
even so it is now the child of law
persecutes the child of grace is never
the child of grace persecutes a child of
law and what is God’s verdict what is
God’s diagnosis and Goss recommendation
verse 30 nevertheless what does the
scripture say cast out the bondwoman who
is the bondwoman the law from Mount
Sinai cast out the bondwoman and her son
for the son of the bondwoman shall not
be heir with the son of the freewoman is
a very serious question here on
inheritance the heir who will be the
heir
okay so then brethren we are not
children of the bondwoman but of the
free so the thing is this today some of
our biggest problems are coming from
people or people challenged you know who
who tried to assassinate your character
and all that it comes from people
persecution in other words come on
people who share the same heavenly
father as us but not the same mother
they will fight for the law
our mother is Grace yeah okay and just
as it was in times pass all right the
devil is trying to always take grace
away from faith Abram represents faith
twice the devil tried to take Sarah away
from Abraham one true Pharaoh
another time to Abimelech it is always
the devil attempting to take grace Sarah
away from faith because he knows that
when they are together
it’s gonna be explosive and when you
mentioned this to me before when did
Ishmael begin to persecute yes less than
two that real quick and Genesis 21 if
you look at Genesis 21 in the scriptures
it tells us when this happened
when did Ishmael persecute his
half-brother Isaac all right Janice is
21 it tells us very clearly here in
verse 8 the child grew Isaac and was
weaned he was weaned remember we said
that he that is he who defines
righteousness as an act a behavior is
unskillful he does ask you in the word
of righteousness is a babe in other
words he does not know the word
righteousness it means give not an
action that person is a babe but
obviously the body of Christ right now
is being weaned they are not
understanding righteousness and guess
what’s happening at the same time
prosecution when the Ishmael persecute
Isaac when Isaac was weaned from milk
yeah so the body of Christ now is being
weaned from milk they understand
righteousness so the persecution is
starting and that’s also the time that
God says cast out the bondwoman and God
spoke through Sarah’s mouth Jeremie
Sarah’s mouth yeah yeah I hear ya praise
the Lord
I know that this is setting you free as
you’re listening to this right now and
there’s so much going on I think
probably what’s happening inside is your
brain is going wait a second wait a
second you got to get out of that and
let your heart grab ahold of what you’re
hearing right now because it’s truth and
truth knowing this truth isn’t that what
Jesus said what would happen to it what
would happen to me you’d be made free
and that’s what’s happening I believe in
the hearts and the minds and the lives
of people that have praise the Lord
they’re born again they’re bowling
they’re in church and maybe say I have
the same heavenly father absolutely the
same mother you see the the in essence
they are saying what are you saying
Sarah can do a good job in raising Isaac
Sarah grace cannot do a good job
let’s bring Hagar back Wow let’s bring
the law back no Sarah is well able to
raise her Isaac so you know I’m
sitting and looking at the law everyday
you know I’m not reading it going on I
gotta try to keep that but there is
there’s a I don’t know if this is the
way to say it but the the spirit of that
work what how would you describe that
because some nope nobody sitting there
going I gotta keep these trained or
those 600 you’re right
and people are not consciously under the
law one of the best ways to say it is
like this I I think this really helped
me ask the Lord how how to define this
so that people can put it you know into
into practice on in a practical way on a
daily basis and he says this just
remember my law is all about demand my
grace is all about supply the law
demands righteousness grace supplies
righteousness as a year ago the law says
you shall not gray says I will yeah all
right so it’s always demand so if I wake
up in the morning and I have so many
things to do and I’m demand oriented oh
you know my wife demands this of me my
boss demands this of me you know my
congregation demands this of me you are
demand mind that you’ll be under stress
and practically even you understand law
and grace you actually under law but if
you wake up and you say well I got a big
project ahead of me and I gotta finish
this I got this meeting to do I got that
you know preaching assignment I’ve got
this thing but if your supply mind that
God will supply everything yeah it means
always supply it so okay I’ll just flow
into it then you under grace in a
practical way so what we’ve got to do in
our lives is set up indicators right
engages yes the same way you would in a
car if you want to know what condition
your cars when you look at the gauge
right well you don’t know what condition
you’re in where’s the where’s the rest
this level where’s the joy level because
when there’s the nap since this what I’m
hearing you say and you tell me
something right but when there’s an
absence of rest right and I’m looking to
myself and I’m depending on me to get me
from here to your mind minded and you’re
under stress yeah you’re looking to
yourself but you look at someone even to
his busy look at Jesus
there’s never I’ve never seen anyone as
busy as Jesus and yet he’s never so
restful yeah right as you see him in the
in the Gospels in the mists of the
multitude he always has time he always
has time yeah it’s a rhythm of grace
to everything you did the unforced
rhythms of grace you can tell you can
tell when people hear this that there’s
there’s a lot of undoing that has to be
done you can tell the Apostle Paul had a
hard time trying to get it out you know
that’s why I think that’s why he had to
say so many times yet not I yeah how do
I explain this to you I’m I’m crucified
but I’m not but I am but I’m not you
know he had to say yet not I that’s got
to become the description of our lives
hmm I’m alive yet it’s not me it’s Jesus
in me and that’s what he said to said
the same thing when he said I labor more
abundantly than they all
yet not I if he left it there Razia this
this message is ruined
but he said I’m working hard harder than
anybody but yet I’m not yet ant but I’m
not well if it’s not you Paul who is it
it’s the great grace of God which is to
say it’s Jesus and what is so cool is
this Jeremy you know any when he says
when when when Paul says yet not i but
the grace of God that causes me to labor
more abundantly think about how cool
this is the Lord gives you the grace to
be a Bible teacher the Lord gives you
the grace to be a shepherd all right God
gives you the grace to do whatever you
need to do God gives you the grace to do
it and when you do it when you execute
the grace that he gives you he rewards
you for for doing the grace that he
first gave you that he did yeah how cool
is that it’s great you know the one
that’s worthy is the lamb we received
the crowns we know where to place it
yeah you know because it’s all him it is
I want that to resume as we close this
