morning God's been good to you this week how about heaven pastor Joseph Prince in the house today excited about that we've had great services but I believe the best is save for last so thanks for being here today we love you very much I know this your new week goes better because you've taken time to honor God coming out to the house of the Lord David said it was good when I went to the house of the Lord and I believe we'll all say it's good when you go to Lakewood got a little rhyme to it but how many of you are visiting today can we see your hands just want to welcome you especially God bless you so many watch online and listen live on Sirius XM but we're honored to have you all here today and I hope you'll not just be a spectator but be a participator with us today you know we take this next half hour or so to thank God for what he's done sing these songs of praise and worship and really we're not just kind of killing time waiting for pastor Joseph to speak you know praise precedes the victory this is the time that you can give God as you give God thanks I've learned this you can never thank God for something without him giving you more back in return so maybe not everything is perfect in your life and you don't you know it's the Joel I don't feel like I got my back certain or I got this problem at work but you know more than ever as you begin to thank God that's what allows God to fight your battles and turn situations around so let me tell you God's on the throne it's bigger than anything that we're facing today he's got you in the palm of his hand I've learned the bigger we make God the smaller our problems become let's make him big today we're glad to have your Lord thank you for the opportunity to be here with friends and family we commit this service into your hands Lord I think that will all receive everything we were supposed to receive or that you're filling us each again with fresh strength and vision and hope and healing sick bodies doing new things in our lives Lord we thank you for all you've done in the past and we thank you for what you're about to do in our future in Jesus name Amen and amen [Music] [Music] and you'll

[Music] [Music] he is worthy of our praise thank you Father you know we're gonna take the time to pray with you one on one if you so desire but I just want to encourage you with some thoughts from the Apostle Paul and 2nd Timothy 4 you know Paul was imprisoned in a cold dungeon he was going through some hard times in his life maybe you're the same way today you're going through some difficult times and Paul was right to his son in the faith Timothy and he was giving a report of the circumstances he was going through and he said he said Timothy he said demas has forsaken me he said Alexander the metalworker he did me a great deal of harm and he said when I went to court the first time no one stood him in my defence I was all alone and so you may be in that place right now where you feel all alone you feel like God is not working but I'm so glad that the Apostle Paul didn't stop riding there because he went on to say to Timothy but Timothy and through all of this through all of my struggles the Lord stood at my side we know no one else stood with me he was at my side and he said not only that but he strengthened me just when I needed it and he said the Lord delivered me from the lion's mouth and he said he will deliver me in the future from every evil attack listen no matter what you're going through today you've got to remember these truths that God is standing by your side you will never be alone he is your rock in your refuge he is a very present help in the time of trouble and not only that he will strengthen you right now when you need it he will give you daily bread and daily grace and daily strength and daily mercy amen and then not only that he will deliver you but I love Paul's declaration he said and he will continue deliver to deliver me he will continue to deliver me from every evil attack you know many times we feel like we're fighting against people and and but really it's an evil attack upon our lives and I love what Paul said about Alexander who him wrong he said hey I'm not gonna dwell on him I'm not going to think about him God is going to take care of him God is going to repay him and I think we had to get our eyes off of the enemy off of people and realize that God will vindicate us don't worry about what people are saying or doing because God is going to deliver you and in the future he will continue to deliver you from every evil attack amen so you be encouraged today if you desire prayer we'd love for the prayer partners to come out we'd love to pray for you and remember this the prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective the rest of you may be seated and let's continue in a attitude of worship [Music] in their time we will weigh the far without till from heaven you came there were Smurfs your eyes to

you're here today and we're going to take this time right now to worship the Lord with our tithes and our offerings amen thank you for being cheerful givers Usher's you can come down and I just want to remind you to remember the hope TV project were so excited about this opportunity that God has placed before us and so you know just begin to pray about what God would have you to give over the next year we know God has got great things for us and as as Joel said before when he presented this that if God wants to do something great through a church that means he's going to bless the people of the church amen we appreciate you we appreciate your giving and your your faithfulness to the Lord and I just like to always remind you that when you give I know you give through Lakewood but when you give your giving to the Lord and the Lord receives your tithe and he sees what you give the Bible says that the tithe belongs to the Lord and it's holy unto him and so it's a very holy transaction and when you when you give to the Lord you're worshiping him and when you give to the Lord you honor him and when you honor God listen you can't outgive God he will always honor and bless you amen so thank you so much for your giving uh sure you can receive the offering I do want to mention something very special that's happening this Wednesday the night before Halloween it's a great alternative to Halloween and that is our big family fall jam and we're going to have a one-hour service it's going to be powerful and then we're gonna let the kids loose and that we have tons of candy and and what do you call those blow ups and and food trucks and inflatables and it's just going to be amazing so if it happens right and we're praying for the Astros we might be able to watch the Astros at

fantastic meeting all right jet ring of the United Nations around the world watching the name of Jesus being lifted amen let's hear it for him thank you lord brace your lovely name Lord hallelujah it's all about you Lord amen amen amen race a lot you may be seated hallelujah every time I come here you know I was saying this in the first service I feel that I'm coming home and I really mean it I don't just say that everywhere I go I don't okay but here every time I come here I feel like I'm coming home and especially because of the Osteen family as a young pastor I was looking for a role model someone that I can I can learn from they can mentor me so even though I've never met him personally I tuned in on the internet to Pastor John Osteen so I must say that he's the pastor that man taught me and I never knew that even Joel Osteen existed at that time but I learned so much from this pastor and one of the things I learned was like real statements you know that that changed my life you know impacted my ministry statements like blessed other short-winded because they were always be invited back amen so I've learned you see that's why I get invited back hallelujah and and and how he would like turn around and ask for the name of someone in the audience and Dodi was mad at him at a time so she's not giving the answer you know that kind of thing and I just love it yeah so real amen and that happened right oh no it no it didn't happen she says praise the Lord hallelujah thank you Jesus oh no Joseph Prince you just made a big faux pas publicly hallelujah if they're just real people that's what I love about it and if you either ask a question and in fact I have had this question asked of me pass the prints would you listen to and is the honest truth I listen to Joel Osteen even sometimes when I can't sleep in the middle of the night you know I just put on my mp3 and I listen to Joel steam preach amen especially audiobook and it's just inspiring it lifts you up how many know that if you have troubles sleeping just like a sheep cannot sleep cannot rest among the green green pastures it is trouble sheep must be secure for it to rest so if you your trouble in your sleep the enemy is attacking you while you're sleeping a man just tuned in to a Joel Osteen sermon amen don't don't don't get ghosts those two very loud firing someone during that time of the night came in and when you listen to JAMA saying that his voice puts you to sleep I'm just saying that you know it's just inspiring it lifts you up you feel secure you feel like you got the future secure amen and this ministry of hope Bible hope is not a supposition it's not like I hope so I I really hope so it's going to happen maybe so hope so no no Bible hope is a confident expectation of good in your future that's Bible hope Bible Hall is defined that you evine a great scholar defines it as a certain confident expectation of good and every time he preaches he puts on every one of us the helmet of salvation so that the enemy's thoughts cannot launch in our minds amen but when you listen to him you get a brainwash and you know that the brainwash is actually the Greek word for repentance Metanoia change of mine so Joel may not always be using the word repent but people are repenting every time the word goes forth amen well praise the Lord thank you Joe for having me and uh you know from one good-looking pastor to another and I I know why you positioned yourself to sit beside met today because it shows forth you know you make yourself more good-looking when you see I've got my new book out it your way to life and health and if you haven't got this book let me just tell you this it is a book on the Holy Communion and I think that it's a consolidation of all the best teachings you know the Lord taught me this truth about 20 years ago when I was able I was gonna see young a very young pastor and we have seen amazing miracles through the Holy Communion it's not like any other you know diet book it's not about diet and I thank God for all those books on diet plans and they are helping people amen or exercise regimens and all that let me say this all creation is fallen okay all creation even you eat organic food or it's fallen you know you cannot trust in something that's fallen but you can put all your hope and trust in Redemption the right for the Lord to create he only had to stick but for him to redeem he bled okay so we our trust is in redemption amen I observe good eating habits and I exercise as much as I can can you tell Emma you can tell okay you'll come so I I do my best to observe a good diet plan and exercise as much as I can but all my trust is in redemption in the Lord's Supper that's Redemption amen the Lord said it said like this to me many years ago he said you can be fit going to the gym but health cometh from the Lord there are people who are fit they run every day and then one day bang they are diagnosed with something in a few months they're gone let me just tell you this don't put your trust in that we just natural by all means it well but put your trust in redemption and special for Lakewood if you get this book only for Lakewood here I also give you this healing scriptures scriptures that have been personally hand-picked by me scriptures that are quote when when I have a physical challenge or water a season of discouragement or whatever I'll just read these scriptures and they just leave you lift me up okay so we'll give this as part of the Lakewood special gift to all of you okay we have an example of a lady here Dodi who actually used healing scriptures to be healed many years ago from liver cancer in fact from for many years I use her healing scriptures even the same format for many years and then I added some and and now we've got all all this in this healing scriptures I mean know that God wants you well the world with all the advancement of medical breakthrough and all that I've never seen people more sick and even the body of Christ you know I stripped on your channel in almost every other ever this one it's about someone sick someone needing this someone needing that the world is full of sick people can you think for one moment can you imagine that the Lord Jesus paid for our sins but never took care of our sickness huh you can't even imagine that in fact the Bible says he went about doing good and healing all there were oppressed of the devil and that's why directive plans and and exercise all that is good but it doesn't deal the problem of of sickness many-a-times healing all they were oppressed of the devil you cannot medicate the develop a man am i saying every condition is the devil but I'm just saying you need supernatural means to combat supernatural powers amen and I believe that we're in the time and the seasons the Isaiah talks about and definitely is not referring to the millennium because it's in the Millennium there's no darkness it says arise shine for your light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you the next verse states for darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people's deep depression we are living in those days and what's going to happen to the church but the Lord shall rise upon you and his glory shall be seen upon you and what's gonna happen your sons and your daughters will come from afar the wealth of the Gentiles will come to you it's not referring to the Millennium in the Millennium there's no darkness on the earth it's all bright a man is referring to the days we are living in when darkness is covering the earth it is both the best of times and the worst of times the best of times for the Church of Jesus Christ amen hallelujah look look at this you know when Pharaoh refused to let Israel go God sent plague of the plague after plague and Pharaoh's heart was hardened but the second last flake before the final play of the death of the firstborn where God instituted the the pass over for Israel remember that but the plate before that was a plate of thick darkness look at this Moses stretched out his hand towards heaven and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt we are living in these days now everything in the book of Genesis is prophetic as well all the times we live in this was Genesis is the book of beginnings as well as pointing to the book of endings there's a tree of life here there's a tree of life trees of life through role in Revelation it's like a mirror image and where are we now we are living prophetically in the time when darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the people's the research of all the lights in this auditorium right now and there's a flicker of light afar everyone will see it we are living in the days when your life is going to be recognized the war is hungry they are jaded with all that they see all the violence and all the immorality and all the the things that you know one thing good about what's happening is that people are getting jaded when they get jaded the spiritual hunger is there they're looking for something deeper amen and and and before Israel was given the the urban ins of the pass over the experienced thick darkness and the Bible says but watch this they did not see one another I'm not really Egypt not Israel they didn't see one another nor did anyone rise from his place for three days but watch this but all the tune of Israel had light in their dwellings amen your families we have light in your dwellings when the earth is covered thick darkness you know you know the distinct darkness is supernatural darkness or else the Egyptian will just light with a oil lamp right and the fact that your visual had light if the Egyptians see that they will probably avail themselve all the same provision but no they can light a lamp and the light goes out it is supernatural darkness but for Israel Israel's like is supernatural light and you're gonna have supernatural light in your homes amen it'll be a testimony your house is gonna be like a lighthouse to all the world around and I believe we are in the days when the woods and a look at the Church of Jesus Christ and they realize all the answers all the light all the revelation all the healing all the health all the salvation is in the house of God in the Church of Jesus Christ amen don't forget and don't neglect the church and a one thing about social media and all that is good they can watch online there are even people watching online right now but don't need like to come together don't forsake the assembling of ourselves together you've got you don't have the same dynamics you know social media is good for some things or I can watch online but it is no substitute for coming together as the church amen there's a special anointing that effect that takes place when we come together when God's people are in one Accord miracles happen amen and you just feel supernaturally lifted inspired just in the presence of the body of Christ on the other hand the work of the enemy is always to be antisocial and to withdraw and and that's the characteristic of the demoniac in the Bible Legion all right he was he was demon-possessed and noticed that he was shutting himself that's one characteristic hurting yourself and then he was all alone amen so if you feel cool to be alone resist that and come together come together the body of Christ amen praise the Lord now the Bible says right after thick darkness God told them to observe the law the passed over for the very first time this were a nation of slaves they were they were not treated well they were under the whiplash of the heart taskmasters the Egyptians and they don't have good diet they are doing back-breaking work Kimmage in all those years of doing this back-breaking labor what that does to your back what does that does your knees and they don't have good nutrition they probably have berry berries and all kinds of scurvy and the condition and yet something happened to them that night when God instituted the pass over the Bible says in Psalm 105 verse 37 God brought them out the next day they came out like this they came out God brought them out with silver and gold and there was none feeble among their tribes none feeble among the slaves these people who were not having good diet they are they are being they are being oppressed there they have all kinds of conditions that all the ones probably have problems like dementia and Alzheimer's and age-related conditions in their bodies and yet they all came out about two to three million of them and none not one feeble among their tribes Wow it behooves us to find out what happened that night whatever happened that night that caused them to come out with silver and gold and non feeble I want in on it how about you amen so for many years that became my search I was very gung-ho about knowing you know I was really really keen especially a young pastor to know that if this can happen to them how much more for us we're the new covenant established upon better promises amen and I realized that many of my church members back then they were sick these are 20 years ago they were having all kinds of condition I'll just pray for them and that's as much as I I would do but I felt like in my spirit I thought there was more God had more and that got me on a search and one day it's like the scales fell off my eyes this was the verse that changed everything for this reason many are weak and sick among you and many sleep in talking about the Lord's Supper in that context Paul is saying if you learn to discern the Lord's body for the lack of discerning the Lord's body for this reason of not discerning many are weak I cannot wish he didn't say many but many in the body of Christ are weak and sick and they fall asleep in other words they die prematurely so it behooves me then to find what is the one reason this reason for this reason many are weak and sick and die prematurely and the verse before that is not discerning the Lord's body so the body of Christ they do take the Lord suffer but they tend to lump it together both the cup and the bread they lump it as forgiveness of sins Lord we remember you died for our sins we thank you that you died for our sins and they partake like one together but no the Bible says you need to discern the Lord's body you need to make a difference between the two you know in all the Levitical suffering our offerings of the animals in the Old Testament when they bring a lamb before God the lamb is killed in a very humane way they slice the carrot the lamb would go unconscious and then dies and then they put the lamb on the altar however this lamb is not it's not a end by itself it's a type pointing to the true Lamb of God that will come to die for our sins so Jesus is the fulfillment of all the sacrificial lambs that was offered with one exception Jesus was tortured before he was put on the cross he was searched he was beaten he was battered why for by His stripes we are healed and for the failure of discerning the Lord's body so when we fail that is in the lost body we are not partaking worthy of what he did another thing when you take the cup and you are still conscious like what is thought you know in my church many years ago when I was a very young all right I would I would listen to this now preaching in my church that came from they will say that if you have any unconfessed sin get right before you receive the Lord's Supper or else you might fall sick or die prematurely so every time the cup will pass by me you know I just already passed CMA it's a new pass over for me let it first my mama didn't raise no fool Amen just in case there is an unconfessed sin in my life how many did the same come on and as a result something that is supposed to be a you carries a Thanksgiving you know a sacrament that we we proclaim the Lord's death something remember him by become something that we shun all because of erroneous teaching Amen they have turned taking an unworthy manner into if you are unworthy you cannot count hey Jesus died for unworthy people come on Jesus died for people is sin amen so how do you partake in a way that's worthy of him well you take the bread and say lord I thank you that by your stripes I am healed that's worthy of what he did you are honoring him and you take the cup or the Geo save a cup in Matthew in the in the Upper Room when he introduced the Lord's Supper he says this cup is the New Covenant in my blood which is shed for the forgiveness not consciousness for the forgiveness of sins every time you drink the cup the way you're doing in a manner worthy of him is this all my sins are forgiven amen that's worthy of him so we take the bread and the cup judge yourself he'll that's how you judge yourself accurately and judge yourself by the cup forgiven of all your sins past present and future instead we turned the whole thing around in a way that's not worthy of him even we act like like like because of the Lord's Supper we we didn't take it correctly then we fall sick no no no sickness is already here long before you think the Lord's Supper hey sickness is already here ever since Adams fell the divine sentence is in the world disease decay death the Bible says God doesn't want his people condemned with the world and that condemned there is the divine sentence of of decay disease death God doesn't want us to be condemned with the world so he gave us the Lord's Supper to escape it instead we turned the whole thing around and almost I blame the Lord's Supper for causing this condition I want to sit back right now and watch this amazing testimony when we first heard the news we were in shock [Music] my husband has always been someone who loves life who likes being active who enjoys his work and now he's being told to get his affairs in order the doctor told us that Marcus had Alzheimer's disease she told us that it had progressed a lot further than she expected she told him to get ready to leave his job and retire permanently [Music] we we weren't ready to hear that and we decided no no we weren't going to accept that either so we gave the situation to God what really helped was listening to Pastor Prince's sermons and especially the ones about the Holy Communion so we began to take the communion together at home and we took it often it didn't happen immediately but we really believe that that that was the turning point four and a half years later my husband went for another MRI and that's what we saw he saw our miracle till today I remember the look on the doctors face she was so confused she stared at the scanner and then she stared at us and finally she said I'm looking at a healthy brain there's no sign of Alzheimer's disease here so there was nothing left for her to do but to remove the diagnosis I am so just so grateful to the Lord for his healing and I am so so happy to have my husband back we believe that there are many many more good years ahead for us hey man hey man give praise to God now did you hear what she said they partook daily for four years so it's not something that you know you believe all at once and then it happens we have many testimonies like this we have testimonies of people we have a back condition someone injured their back they partook and then almost immediately that same evening they are healed amen but we thank God for all the what we call spectacular healings but most of the testimonies that we have in this book eat your way to life and health our testimonies of incremental healing in every chapter there is a testimony and most of them from America by the way there are testimonies of people who receive healing incrementally just like Marcus we have testimonies of another lady also in this book I share of a lady who actually said her mother was suffering from dementia and she was forgetting even the names of all the her family members and their faces parent recognized them that's how much she deteriorated too but when this the daughter heard about my teachings on communion they partook of the Lord's Supper on the third day she said her mother woke up and she look at her mother and she looked 10 years younger not only that she caught all the family members by their names and she recognized all their faces now that is what I call spectacular almost overnight but we thank God however the manifestation come listen Jesus talk about a 34 Havas 34 me is what 74 still sick the pain is still there but there's a 34 increase already a man of health and healing then comes 64 now there's more healing than sickness then a hundred for amen don't give up keep on partaking give us this day our daily bread amen if you ask the question how can something so simple something so small this crumb drive up the cancer in my body how can a simple crumb you know reverse Alzheimer how can a simple crumb don't forget what Jesus said to the start of phonation woman who came on behalf of a daughter who was sick who was oppressed and she asked for healing and the Lord says that the children's bread belongs to the table belongs to the family he calls Jesus calls healing the children's bread is your breath and remember what she said in the Greek he says like this even the puppies not dogs even the puppies love test even the puppies eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table even a crumb can drive a demon out even a crumb can he'll get daughter and Jesus look at hands as all woman great is your faith we need to know the ways of God too many of us you know we go for the great and mighty and famous and expensive you know we wonder the latest equipment the latest a this medical advancement the latest whatever is and it weighs costs money hey listen the Lord's Supper you can avail yourself anytime it's like the things of God is available for everybody it's available for everybody amen God uses the weak things of the world like a crumb to put to not the things that are to put cancer to not God uses the weak things to confound the mighty that's the way of God you got to use someone like me who in my high school I was a starter and I could even stand through a string a sentence together and the Lord said I'm gonna make a preacher out of that boy amen and you know it's God's ways God love the weak things amen smile a neighbor and say let's hope for you amen yeah let's hope for you Matt let's hope for all of us because we have a lot of infirmities amen my strength is not made perfect in your strength in fact your strength is a hindrance to my strength the Lord would say to us my strength is made perfect when you realize you're weak in that area unfortunately our problem is that we're not weak enough you cannot save a drowning man when he's not weak enough he will pull you down amen so a simple crumb what about this first Prince a simple act of eating what's there having a simple act of eating reverse that disease in my body how can a simple act of eating heal me well don't forget it was a simple act of eating that caused all men to fall think about it doesn't extend to godly reason then that by a simple act of eating you can eat your way to life and health and to all the blessings of God amen hallelujah jesus said my body my flesh is bread is food indeed and my blood is drink indeed and we've forgotten the early church broke bread from house to house from house to house not just daily from house to house and in x20 in a place called throw a switch is Troy you know Helena Troy the Trojan horse well Paul was visiting Troy and then he was looking out for the believers there and noticed how the believers came together upon the first day of the week which is a Sunday he says on the first day of the week when the disciples came together notice they came together to break bread not to hear Paul they had the best speaker in town come on the Apostle Paul himself a preacher of hope and grace hallelujah amen they had the best thing but they didn't come together to hear Paul they came together to break bread we have deviated from that amen the early church was radical about this and I think God is gonna bring the radical back in this amen praise the name of Jesus you know the Jewish people when when they observe the Lord's Supper well it's not like the sentimental town of you know the Western mentality of remember me draws its duties in remembrance of me right we had this idea yes a lot somewhere along the way during the day I'll just remember you in a sentimental way no the Jewish mind when it comes to remembering is always to re-enact and that's why every year Jewish people all over the world they reenact the Passover on the night of the Passover the Lord said put the blood on the doorposts and on the lintel notice the doorposts and the lintel making the cross of Jesus Christ and God says when I see the Blood I will pass over you he did not say when I see your good works when I see your good name when I see a good reputation know when I see the blood our Passover you amen is the blood of his son hallelujah now while the the blood was put outside for God to see what was the family doing inside the house they were eating the roasted lamb now I wanna say roasted it might be roasted in fire God says they shall eat the flesh on that night roasted in fire notice the pass over which is a type of the Lord's Supper in the in the Old Testament is actually instituted at night just like communion was instituted at night that's why it's called the Lord's Supper not the lots of breakfast and it speaks of your night seasons when you receive a bad report and you ask me a nice season you know you wake up in the middle night your heart is pounding besides I think the Joel Osteen what do you do you know and and and the night seasons seems to make everything appear bigger louder during your night season what you do eat the Lord's body amen and proclaim the Lord's death for how offer till he comes we'll be doing this till he comes can either good amen when when Israel in the Old Testament the way they proclaimed the Lord's death was to offer a burnt offering when when prophet Samuel offered a suckling lamb and the Philistines were drawing near the Bible says the Lord turned out from heaven and discomfited and defeated all the enemies just by a little suckling lamb and today we proclaim the Lord's death every time we partake of the Lord's Supper we proclaim the Lord's gift amen and all heaven rejoices because this is the topic of heaven the Lord's death John in the book of Revelation saw Jesus as if he was a lamb that had just been slain every time you partake you must not partake with this sense of or he died 2,000 years ago with God there is no time God created time God is outside time that's why he's always very present help amen relief in a time continuum God doesn't God create a time he is the first and the last amen so in other words John saw Jesus as if he had just been slain freshly slain in fact the word there in Hebrews 10 come to God in a new and living way look up the greek word for the new new means freshly slaughtered freshly slain living way in the old covenant way it's the old dying way the more you come to God chances are you may be struck because of your sin all right that's an old dying way but today because of Jesus blood it's a new and living way the more you come the more you live living way the more you come the more you live the more you come the more you'll live have you noticed that every time we come together life is infused enough very beings amen I have another friend in Israel his name is Samuel Samaha and Matt knows him well he hosts for CBN often and he's a dear friend of mine very dear friend I know him for many years his birthday is just one day after me up before me something like that I know one of us all day about one day and early this year he was diagnosed with a rare form of bladder cancer and you aware it he had a rare form of bladder cancer and the doctor said this to him there even with treatment he only has a 20% chance of recovery only 20% and when I went to Israel this past March this year I look at him I've never seen Samuel Samuel is always very outgoing you know he's always a very cheerful person and I look at him and and he was so down yes morose depressed and I spoke to him about the Lord's Supper and shared with him some truths the same truths I shared this book by the way this book is a consolidation of all the best teachings I recommend this book because I know what it was inside okay and and and there are some teachings that you go put you back in the in the old place of trying to confess your sin catching yourself you know I'm telling you Church it's time for us to forget about all that and get our new covenant straight stop preaching from Mount Sinai and stop preaching from Mount Zion amen stop preaching from the mercy seat can have a good amen and and and that the part that really touch Samuel because he was a Jew was this truth that I shed I said this the Bible says when they came out your Jewish people when they came out after the Passover night they came out with silver and gold and there was none feeble and all they did was to partake of a lamb that was a type of the Son of God the true lamb they would come I said this if the shadow can heal them to the point not feeble among three million people how much more you and I that have the substance when Jesus says this is my body come on if the shadow can do that we have the substance and he said that spoke to him and he began to partake almost daily two months ago I was preaching and my phone kept on buzzing and I look at it it's Samuel smart thing he seldom calls me on a Sunday but I didn't answer him it I was it was very busy Sunday and on Monday I call him back and it's a surprise I can't wait to tell you I can't wait to tell you this was two months ago he says that the doctors just came back to me and says they find no trace of the cancer hallelujah hey man now friend when you partake whatever your condition is it's all covered it's not just physical disease it's emotional addiction depression amen a panic attacks whatever it is it's all covered in the community in fact I find to be true for myself and many others that the first few times we take communion doesn't really minister to the condition your physical condition it ministers inside for us inside out it deals with your fears and worries so even if you feel you don't have enough faith no problem Jesus is your all in all just tell the Lord I don't have enough faith Lord but you are my faith and still partake and partake and many a time when you partake the first area ministers to is your emotions your fears your worries your anxieties and another week you find that it gives you can see an improvement in your body Amen God wants you to prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers so that must happen first your soul prospers so God prospers you inside out your health comes from inside out can I have a good amen how do you project well look at Israel the Bible says roasted in fire don't eat it raw sashimi no sashimi no sushi no no no no very sorry all my Japanese brothers and sisters no sashimi for lamb why because to eat Jesus raw what does that mean that means there are people today they they don't believe in the finished work of Jesus but they will say you know what I tried my best to follow the Sermon on the Mount I try to do unto others what I have others do unto me I follow his golden rule in fact I believe that if the world followed Jesus teachings on the Sermon on the Mount we'll have a better world now they can say all that but are they saved no they are eating Jesus raw the way you are saved is to see Jesus on the cross bearing your sins your diseases your sicknesses your judgment and know that see him roasted in fire under the fire of God's judgment and that's how you fit on him you know if Jesus live a perfect life and never died on the cross we all still be lost it's his death that saves us our starting point is this death amen people and then you can talk about the stone on the mound the the man who preached the Sermon on the Mount knew that one day not none of us can keep his Sermon on the Mount but he knew one day he'll come down and live in us and then he will leave the Sermon on the Mount as we rest in him amen now notice how you partake not just that you partake remembering all the sufferings he's suffering the bitter herbs and all that remembering what he did at the cross in fact I was reading this just yesterday again and the Lord gave me a fresh revelation I saw the little word soul s o so you know sometimes a statement can just change in intensity with the little word soul for God so loved you he gave his son now it still be good to say for God loved the world but the soul we don't depart with the soul the soul changes everything God didn't just love you he so loved you amen so I read in my King James they says his visit was so marred more than any man when Jesus suffered you know they beat him that's how you get the bread how do you get the bread it's pounded it's better when it's in dough form and then you put it in the fire that's how you get bread that's what happened to Jesus and then wine how do you get wine in those days they step on it they crush it and then they put it in dark place that's what happened to Jesus before he can become the bread and the wine huh men know I read this and I look at the Hebrew I was wondering is the what so they in Hebrew and you know what the word is there in Hebrew but what's so so much so the NIV brings it up and Ivy says his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness he didn't look like a human anymore with all apologies to Mel Gibson's movie Passion of the Christ people say it's very violent the demon come closed in fact he didn't resemble a human being anymore with all the tumors goiter that was carrying his body he hardly look or resemble a human being that's how much he loved you and gave his life for you amen so we feed on him you see him roasted amen don't try to water it down there are some movies of the suffering of Jesus ways only a few wounds don't don't wash it down amen don't water it down it says don't sort boil with water but roasted in fire its head with its legs and its entrails so even the head we talk about Alzheimer we talk about when you partake if you got neural neurological problems whether it's Parkinson's constant migraines chronic migraines where this but is dementia as you partake imagine you're partaking of Jesus head he's healthy hey parting of the mind of Christ and saying by your stripes I am healed all my memory faculties are healed Lord thank you Lord Jesus by your stripe my brain is heal partake of his brain not easy brace perfect its head with legs Eagle Lake conditions even it's a stick right now God is healing people ready praise God amen the just left your mind they made that is you just threw a big wave praise the Lord praise the Lord and people are being healed in their legs right now Lake conditions in Jesus name stand to your feet and bounce your leg right now and Jesus and slam it down in Jesus name if you know there's no more pain no more condition do a big wave if there's no more pain no more pain don't do it by faith if there's no more pain then wave amen look at all this pressure thank you Jesus hallelujah thank you Lord you may be seated and they need your leg strong for the match to go out to Egypt from Egypt it's a long much right and we've all due respect to system constancy of the meals 10 commandments I love that movie by the way but there's one part I don't agree when they came out they have elderly people on stretchers remember that nothing could be further from the truth the Bible says none feeble grandpas were chasing grandmas oh come on here baby come on baby I mean non febo come on Nancy will y'all hallelujah and it's entrails Aunt Rose are all your internal organs if the doctor says you've a problem in your liver you have a pancreatic condition you have a gallbladder condition whatever it is you know when you protect you say Lord Jesus I thank you that by your stripes I am healed in my liver by your stripes I am healed in my kidneys by your stripes I am healed in my pancreas by your stripes I am healed in my bladder by your strike I am healed in my prostate by your stripes I am healed from scoliosis by your stripes I am healed Lord and by your strike my youth is renewed like the Eagles hallelujah and we can reverse that if the negative is correct for this reason many are weak and sick you know for this reason of discerning the Lord's body accurately many will be strong many will be healthy and many will live long amen I believe it is the Fountain of Youth you know in the Hebrew it says we satisfy your mouth with good things it's actually one single word and it's a definite article the good God satisfies your mouth with the good so that your youth is renewed like the Eagles what do you think the good is can't be natural it must be the body of the Lord Jesus Christ when you partake your youth we found the proverbial Fountain of Youth amen you can h backwards the more you partake can have a good amen hey man don't don't don't say things like oh I'm getting forgetful I'm getting old and all that stop that amen look at Joe he's forever young Joe Joe's not met Joe look at Matt thank God he's taking the lot stuff I imagine he doesn't smile Navin is a let's hope for you bro for your brain it covers everything you know Jesus the first area of his passion and I'll close with this the first area of his suffering this passion was in the garden the Bible says he sweat blood now imagine just the anticipation just the anticipation of becoming sin at the cross and he who is Trice holy he wouldn't never experienced in never been separated from the father just the very thought of becoming sin he sweat blood it's a condition that that doctors and of the poem can verify that helmet eat roses am i right hey materialist which means under extreme very rare form and the extreme stress your capillaries burst and then intermingle through your sweat but something about Jesus blood his blood has redeeming quality so when he sweat blood his sweat and his blood mingle he redeemed all of us from the curse of sweat from the curse of depression amen remember the curse in a garden God said to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden by the sweat because of your sin from now on things won't come to you easy by the sweat of your face you will eat bread and the ground is cursed now in another Garden Jesus shed blood in his sweat and he redeemed from all of us from the curse of sweat the sweat for things now the blessings will come real easy and not only that his blood fell to the ground it says and the ground that you and I walk on everywhere we go it's blessed ground it's fatal ground anyone comes close to you they'll be blessed because you're now no longer on cursed round your own redeemed round trailer ground hallelujah come on Church hallelujah and one
