Listen carefully. When you are seated with Christ, you need to realize all
your enemies are below. Now, in our experience on Earth
below, we still experience things like reports of bad news
or a prognosis from the doctor, telling you about issues
in your body. You might wonder,
"But I'm seated with Christ," "I'm far above all these things." Yes, that's why the
Bible calls it the fight of faith. The fight of faith, alright? The devil is trying to
suggest to you that it's not true based on your senses. The devil cannot deal
with you—listen carefully, he cannot deal with you
in the realm of faith. He cannot stay
in the realm of faith. In the realm of faith,
he's totally defeated. He needs to bring you back
to the realm of senses. Listen carefully. "Look at your bank account," "look at what the
psychiatrist says" "about your condition—
you’re getting worse in" "your depression, right?" And look at what you
just did—you watched "something you
shouldn't have watched." "Call yourself a believer." "And Pastor Prince says
you're born again, set on high." "Look at what you just did." It's all senses! You've got to step
out of it and say, "That's not me." Are you listening? Get back in the realm of faith. Fight the good fight of faith. That means stay in faith,
and it's called a good fight because when you stay in faith,
a good fight means it ends in victory for you. The manifestation will come,
are you listening? Whether it's victory over
a sinful habit, or it's things to do with a
curse of the law that's trying to manifest
in your life or in your family, stay rested in the Father's bosom
at His right hand. So the challenge will come: "What are you gonna
do about this?" Well, I'm going to rest. It’s a new resting. If you would, every challenge
becomes a new resting. The more you rest,
the more you see the victory. See, what the Father said
to the Son is this— and this must be our attitude. I call it the throne attitude. The Father said to the Son, "Sit at my right hand until I make
your enemies your footstool." Amen. Wow. Okay, so what are the
enemies for all of us? I mean, we all know it’s
sin for sure, right? But all these powers of
darkness that bring depression, bad thoughts,
evil thoughts, evil imaginations, sinful habits, sinful addictions—
amen—all this kind of foolishness that's going on in the world
because of the darkness in their hearts and minds,
calling white black, black white, good evil, and evil good. They’re confused, and
they want you to be confused with them.
Don't be. You are out of the confused realm,
amen. There was a time God's
people went to Babylon; it’s a picture.
Babylon is confusion. The word Babylon means confusion. So it's only in captivity
you get into confusion because they broke the law. We are not under the law. Listen, we are in Christ
under grace. Are you listening? So the Father said to the Son,
"You can name any enemy right now." What the doctor said to you
about your case is an enemy— not the doctor, your condition, amen. What your banker said
to you, or whatever financial advice you got
that looks very bleak for you— all that is your enemy. Are you listening?" What did the Father say
to the Son? "Sit at my right hand.
Keep on resting until" "I make your enemies your footstool." If you are in Christ,
seated with Him— can I sit down? Whether you let me or not,
I’m just being nice. So if I sit down, this is a
good way to preach. In fact, Jesus sat on the mountain
and preached the Sermon on the Mount. Read your Bible.
He sat down. This is very scriptural. Amen. Jesus sat down and taught.
Rabbis would sit down and teach. I'll tell you something. The Bible says in the
Book of Acts, "When the day of Pentecost
had fully come," "they were all with one
accord in one place. And suddenly," Say "suddenly." Your blessings can
come suddenly, all right? It may happen this week. Suddenly the manifestation
happened. There came a sound from
heaven as of a rushing mighty wind—
God can’t wait to bless you— and it filled the whole house
where they were sitting. Recently, I was reading
this—not recently, quite some time back,
but it’s a more recent revelation compared to the rest— I noticed that it filled the whole
house "where they were sitting." Sounds very non-religious,
not traditional. They were sitting down,
waiting on God. No respect, right? We would say that. Or do they know something? They were sitting because
it’s a posture of rest. Now, this is interesting
because the same phrase— it filled the whole house
where they were sitting. The Holy Spirit filled
the whole house. If you look at a reference
in the Old Testament, one time the whole Temple of
Solomon was filled. In fact, the phrase is,
"It filled the whole house." The glory of the Lord
filled the whole house, but the priests were standing
because, you know why? It’s not finished yet. They are standing because
it’s not finished yet. So we are seated. It's a posture of rest
when you sit down. So with every challenge,
if you can tell yourself, "No, sit down." Amen. Now, that’s an amazing thing
because doctors tell us naturally what they find is that
people who are the very nervous type,
those who are very anxious, those who are type A temperament—
because they hurry, hurry because they’re very anxious,
if we don’t hurry, we won’t get it. We rush, rush, rush, you know,
the type A temperament, right? These are the ones prone
to get strokes. They have hypertension
and they have heart attacks and all that. And that’s a fact. That’s medically proven, all right? But what we are dealing with
is symptoms here— anxiousness, busyness. There's a verse in the Bible
that says, "As your servant was
here and there," "busy busy here and there"— literally in the King James— "as your servant was busy
here and there," "the enemy escaped." All right, right now you're wondering
where the verse is from. Study your Bible.
It's there, okay? He was supposed to guard
the enemy, but he thought the enemy escaped. And you know what's his answer? "As your servant was busy here and
there, the enemy escaped." And that's always true. When you are busy,
your enemy wins. Some are just busy. Okay, but Pastor Prince,
you know, we go to work, we have to go to work. Yes, you can do it like the
priests of old. They were busy working
outside the temple, slaying the animals,
arranging for the pieces to be in the right place—
the peace offering, the breast meat, the right thigh,
and all that as an offering to God, a picture of Jesus Christ, amen. All that is true, but in
the Holy of Holies, where God's presence dwells,
is perfect peace. There's no rushing,
there's no busyness. So today, know ye not,
you are the temple of God and the Holy Spirit dwells in you. So we can be busy like the
priests outside, but inside, we have to be at peace. The Bible says, "And all these
blessings shall come upon you" "and overtake you." But only after it says, "The Lord your God will set
you on high above all the nations" "of the earth, and then" "all these blessings will come
on you and overtake you." Wow, amen. Which means, "overtake you"
means what? It comes on you. You don't have to run
after the blessings. It overtakes you.
You are seated with Christ. Actually, you are blessed
with every blessing in heaven. The Bible says spiritual blessing,
which means the source is spiritual blessing in heavenly
places in Christ. Amen. 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
