he doctor has just told you that you have an incurable disease. The X-rays and blood tests confirm it. Your worst fears have come true and you feel like your future has been sealed.

My friend, the doctor’s report is not final. Jesus declares to you, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.” (Revelation 1:8) He has the first word as well as the final word in your situation. The experts and medical reports don’t!

Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. But Jesus did not speak Greek. He spoke Aramaic or Hebrew. So He would have said, “I am the Aleph and the Tav.” Aleph and tav are the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. So what Jesus is declaring to us is this: “I have the first word in your situation. And I have the final word in your situation!” Each Hebrew letter has a corresponding picture. Interestingly, aleph is associated with an ox and tav, a cross. Together, they make up a beautiful picture of what Jesus did for us—He is the sacrificial “animal” on the cross. It was for us that He suffered, bled and died. When Jesus hung on the cross, He also took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. (Matthew 8:17). That is why your sickness does not have the final word in your life. Jesus does because He took your sickness upon His body and paid for your healing with His blood. When Jesus hung on the cross, He took our curse. (Galatians 3:13) We were supposed to be cursed because of our sins, but He took our place and the curse fell on Him. Today, we take His place and His blessings fall on us! So why settle for the curse of sickness or even poverty when the price for your healing and prosperity has been paid by Jesus? Sickness and poverty do not have the final word in your life. Jesus does because He redeemed you from every curse! Beloved, when man says that it is impossible, Jesus says that it is possible. The Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, has the final word in your situation!

Understanding The Significance Of The Olive Tree And

Anointing Oil

In the Old Testament, God ordained the anointing oil to bless His people. But what can new covenant believers use it for today? Joseph Prince shares from the Bible how the anointing oil speaks of Christ and His finished work. Understanding this will give you access to God’s supernatural provision of health, wholeness and prosperity!

T

he Bible mentions in many places the grain, wine and oil. For years, I had wondered why the Lord always mentions these three items together. So I asked the Lord and I thank Him that the search is over. Through the grain, wine and oil, we can receive by grace, not by accomplishing or striving, all the benefits of Jesus. Man ate his way into trouble in the Garden of Eden. By the same token, you can eat your way back into God’s blessings today.

Seeing Christ In The Grain, Wine And Oil The grain and wine represent the Holy Communion, which speaks of the broken body of Jesus and the blood that He shed. To make bread, you take the wheat or grain, then crush and beat it to make dough. Then, you punch the dough and put it into the fiery heat for it to become bread. That’s what happened to our Lord Jesus on the cross—He became our Bread of Life. To get wine, the grapes not only have to be plucked, they also need to be crushed and trodden upon. Likewise, our Lord Jesus was trodden upon by the judgment of God and He became new wine for all of us. Olive oil comes from the olive fruit. But when you press the fruit real hard, you won’t find oil, only a white sap. Also, the fruit tastes very bitter. To get the oil, the fruit and its seed have to be crushed by a great weight in an olive press. The crushing also removes the bitterness. In the same manner, Jesus was crushed under the burden and weight of our sins, and under the judgment of a holy God. He was crushed to become the anointing oil that heals us today.

Ordained By God God is bringing the church to a place where we see the importance of the holy anointing oil. God’s way is always for us to act on what we can do in the natural, and He will accomplish in the supernatural what we cannot. Using the anointing oil is biblical and ordained by God. So don’t let people tell you that you are superstitious for using the anointing oil. James 5:14–15 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

...Jesus was crushed under the burden and weight of our sins, and under the judgment of a holy God. He was crushed to become the anointing oil that heals us today. It was a practice in the early church to use the anointing oil on the sick. So when the elders of the church visited the sick, they anointed the sick person with oil in the name of the Lord. “And the prayer of faith will save the sick” shows us clearly that this is not a superstition, but something done in faith. How do you have faith? “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17) So once you have a revelation about what the Bible teaches on a subject, faith for that area will come.

Fresh Oil Of The New Covenant Let’s look at Psalm 92, a psalm for the Sabbath. In verse 10, it says, “But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.” God expects us to have fresh oil because when oil gets stagnant, it becomes stale. The word “fresh” in Hebrew is ra anan which means “green”. Notice that extra virgin olive oil is green. Green speaks of newness or youth. So the oil has to be of the new covenant because the oil of the old covenant is stale. The old covenant tells you that you must obey God before He can heal your body. Some people believe that and their faith becomes stale. They will slowly stay away from God because of wrong believing. But do you know that the new covenant doesn’t teach that? It teaches that despite your failures, God will heal you. As seen earlier in James 5:15, even if a person has committed sins, he need not feel disqualified because God will forgive his sins through the prayer of faith. Once sin, the biggest hindrance, has been removed, what is there to stop us from receiving from God? After we have prayed over the olive oil, it becomes holy anointing oil. “Holy” means set apart for God’s purposes. It also means “separated from”—darkness into light, lack into abundance and sickness into wholeness. Thus, the anointing oil is no longer just natural oil. The next verse says: Psalm 92:11 11 My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies; my ears hear my desire on the wicked who rise up against me. GOSPEL REVOLUTION

When you are anointed with green or fresh oil, it’s going to affect your eyes and ears. Your eyes will see victory and your ears will hear victory. So “the wicked” or your enemies will not prosper, but you will! Before you read the Bible, you can tell the Lord, “I am anointing my eyes, Lord. Let me see You afresh in the Scriptures.” Then, you will find that the Bible comes alive for you. You are relying on the Holy Spirit to give you revelations, to guide you into all truths, and not trusting in your own intellect.

Yokes Destroyed, Burdens Lifted Isaiah 10:27 27 It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke [satanic bondage] will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. Sometimes, you feel stressed and are full of worries. After a quarrel or moment of strife, you sense a weight on your shoulders. The word “his” in the above verse refers to the Assyrians, Israel’s enemies then. Today, it represents the spirit of the anti-Christ or the devil who seeks to oppress you. An ox has a yoke around its neck to pull the cart. Likewise, the devil wants to put a yoke on your neck to pull you wherever he wants you to go. For instance, if you are addicted to nicotine, the devil tells you, “You cannot but smoke. I’ve got you where I want you.” But the thing that can destroy this yoke is the anointing oil. You may say, “Pastor Prince, the oil represents the power of the Holy Spirit.” Yes, the Holy Spirit is 100 per cent involved here. But in this context, God says to use “the anointing oil”. Then, the power of the Holy Spirit will destroy every satanic bondage in your life. Notice that the yoke will be “destroyed” and not “broken”. There is a difference between these two words. When something is broken, it can be repaired. But when something is destroyed, it is beyond repair. God’s anointing oil will destroy every satanic bondage in your life beyond repair!

Restoration Of Time And Family Life When the devil wants to attack you, one of the ways he comes against you is to steal from you. In Deuteronomy 28, there is a very interesting principle to observe under the portion of the curses.

God’s anointing oil will destroy every satanic bondage in your life beyond repair! Deuteronomy 28:38–40 38 “You shall carry much seed out to the field but gather little in, for the locust shall consume it. 39You shall plant vineyards and tend them, but you shall neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. 40You shall have olive trees throughout all your territory, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives shall drop off. The “seed” here refers to grain and in the “vineyards”, you have wine. Notice that the devil is out to consume your grain and wine, so he sends the locusts and worms. He is also out to consume your oil. Let’s look at the next verse to find out why the devil wants to take away these things from your life. Deuteronomy 28:41 41 You shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for they shall go into captivity. Whenever there is a lack of the grain, wine and oil, your family life is affected. You may have children whom you love deeply, but when they grow up, you lose them. Mixing with bad company, they become captive to drinking, partying and drug addictions. But God has prepared a way out for you. Joel 2:23–24 23 …for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you—the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. 24The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. The “former rain” in Hebrew refers to a teacher of righteousness. The reason God gives you a teacher of righteousness is so that the church, your home and your workplace will be full of grain, and overflowing with new wine and oil. And the next verse says: Joel 2:25 25 “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. Here, the “chewing locust” refers to the worm. The King

...when you pray over your bottle of natural olive oil in Jesus’ name, God sets it apart and it becomes holy anointing oil. Here, the “chewing locust” refers to the worm. The King James Bible uses the word “palmerworm”. When your life is full of the grain, wine and oil, God will restore to you the years that the locusts and worms have eaten. Some of you may say, “Pastor Prince, once the years have passed, they are gone.” But the Creator of time says that He will restore to you the years that have been wasted!

Revealing The Beauty Of The Olive Tree When you study the olive tree, you will be blessed because every part of the tree has a meaning. Today, when you go to the Garden of Gethsemane in Israel, you will find really old olive trees with gnarled trunks. Interestingly, the trunk of an olive tree is hollow unlike most trees. Why is the olive tree trunk hollow? The olive tree represents each of us and God wants us to remember always that we are created by God with this purpose—to contain Him only, not ourselves or the devil. People who don’t fulfill or refuse to accept God’s purpose for them will feel empty inside. They can do many things to fill themselves up—live for pleasure, earn lots of money, get whatever they desire—but they will end up feeling empty. You can even see the emptiness if you look real close into their eyes. But when you look at those who are full of God, there is a fire in their eyes and a spring in their steps everywhere they go. In the Bible, God describes His people Israel as the “Green Olive Tree”. (Jeremiah 11:16) We, who were formerly Gentiles, have been grafted into this olive tree. (Romans 11:13–25) The olive tree lives long, so expect to live a good, long life. Have you wondered how the olive tree lives long?

Prayer For Anointing Oil You may approach a pastor or leader in your local church to pray over and consecrate your oil for you. As a king and priest in Christ (Revelation 1:6), you can also pray over the oil and set it apart to be holy. Here’s a prayer for blessing and sanctifying your oil: In the name of the Father, the Son Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, I set this oil apart to be holy anointing oil. This oil is the holy anointing oil with the power to cast out demons and to heal the sick according to the Word in Mark 6:13 and James 5:14. It sets us apart unto God and makes us more than conquerors and overcomers. It honors God and man, and brings glory to Jesus Christ. This anointing oil gives us gladness and empowers us for service unto God. It speaks of the finished work of Christ and gives us protection from all evil. This anointing oil blesses us and gives us complete victory in Jesus Christ. Amen!

Through the grafting process, the offshoots grow out of the old hollow trunk and perpetuate the tree’s life. In Psalm 128:3, it says, “Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table.” Your children will perpetuate your life. Even in the church, the new generation will perpetuate the life of the church.

Benefits Of The Olive Oil Released Through The Cross A few years ago when I was in Capernaum, the hometown of Jesus, I saw an olive press. The guide explained that olive berries were put in the press and crushed with a huge millstone. The first press produces extra virgin olive oil, which is used to light the Jewish temple. The oil from the second press is used for medicine, while the oil from the third or last press is used for making soap. At that moment, the Holy Spirit revealed to me, “That’s what happened to Jesus in Gethsemane.” Gethsemane, which means “oil press”, was where Jesus was first pressed in a time of

darkness (Luke 22:53), so that we will always be in the light and walk in the light. The light makes you see what others—your competitors, professors, scientists—cannot see in the natural. It is the Holy Spirit that gives you spiritual enlightenment. For instance, people saw David as a shepherd boy. But Samuel, under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, saw a king in David. So the anointing oil will cause you to see how God sees. And when you see how He sees, you will enjoy what He enjoys. The second press took place after Jesus was brought from Gethsemane and scourged. Jesus is our “medicine” because “by His stripes we are healed”. (Isaiah 53:5) A member in our church told me that he had eczema on his left thigh for some time. He had applied all kinds of medication on his thigh, but the eczema did not subside. When I first preached about the anointing oil, he bought

some olive oil and prayed over it. Then, he started applying the oil on a daily basis for a week. Today, he is healed of eczema! The last press, in which the oil is used for cleansing, happened at the cross. Jesus was crushed under the fiery indignation of a holy righteous God, suffering the judgment and penalties for our sins. His blood has cleansed us of our sins. Olive oil in the natural has no effect on you unless you eat or use it. But when you pray over your bottle of natural olive oil in Jesus’ name, God sets it apart and it becomes holy anointing oil. Use the oil for God’s glory and see His miracles, prosperity and restoration in your life!

What Six Years Of IVF Couldn’t Do, The Blood Did

Not Worrying Leads To Blessings

ur son and his wife have been married for 10 years and were desperate to have a baby. Six years ago, they began having In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments. They kept a record and had at least seven IVF treatments, all of which were unsuccessful.

or the whole of December 2009, I was listening to Pastor Joseph Prince’s teaching, Live The Let-Go Life!, and started confessing the verse, “Let not your heart be troubled”, every time I sensed that I was worrying.

O

F

In March 2009, my sister bought me your book, Destined To Reign Devotional. It was my best birthday present. The reading for 19 March was about pleading the blood of the Lamb of God over our family members. The scripture used was Exodus 12:13 and you said that what nine plagues couldn’t do, the blood did.

On 19 January 2010, my daughter was returning to her university. We had an outstanding university fee of $989 then. The morning of her registration on 20 January, I went to my bank and transferred $789 to my daughter’s account. That was all the money I had then.

I was thrilled reading this, so I prayed for my son and daughter-in-law, pleading the blood of Jesus over their situation. I was so excited and knew that something had happened.

Thirty minutes after transferring the money, my daughter called screaming on the phone and saying that the university had given her a bursary and that it would also include the outstanding amount in this year’s fees, so the outstanding fee was paid.

For the past four years, they have been living in Thailand and they telephone us every Sunday morning. A few weeks after I had prayed, my son called to say that his wife was pregnant. I told him that I wasn’t surprised as I had pleaded Jesus’ blood over their situation. What six years of IVF couldn’t do, the blood did. We were so thrilled. On another Sunday, our son called to say that his wife was eight weeks pregnant. It had been eight weeks since I prayed for them! Hallelujah! In February 2009, my husband and I booked our flights to go to Thailand for Christmas. We were due to arrive on 5 December, the day our daughterin-law was scheduled to have a Caesarean section. I was so thrilled at how the Lord had planned everything and what a blessing it was for us to be there for three weeks. However, the baby girl decided to arrive four weeks early, so our son and his wife were settled in when we arrived, and our little miracle is gorgeous! Thank you so much, Pastor Prince, for your teachings. I love your sermon CDs and am learning so much. I listen to them in the car and friends I take to church love your teachings too. Inez Knifton | Derbys, England

I really want to thank God for your teachings, which have transformed my spiritual walk. I am guarding my heart and as I do so, I find that I am less fearful. Thank you, Pastor Prince. Lerato Nkosi | Johannesburg, South Africa

Finding Rest In The Lord

T

hank you so much. I have been watching your broadcasts on TV for about three weeks and I already see a change in me.

I have been a Christian for about 15 years, but I have been going through a lot. I have been trying to find rest in the Lord, but it’s been hard. But every morning now, it’s a little bit easier because the word that you preach each day is the word that I need. The Lord is using you and your beautiful ministry to minister to me. You are an awesome man of God. God bless you and your family. Tikiyah Banks | New York, USA

Now We Know What God’s Grace Truly Is Out Of Jail, Dramatically Transformed By God’s Grace

N

early a year ago, I was given your book Destined To Reign by my parents. At that time, I was serving a jail sentence for drinking and driving. Until then, I had spent nearly a decade away from church after a failed marriage and a shipwrecked faith. My life was slowly being destroyed under the weight of condemnation and shame.

D

ear Pastor Prince, Your teachings on God’s Word have truly been a blessing to me as well as my son. My prayer to the Lord was for Him to show me what I have never seen before in His Word. After hearing you preach on Daystar Television Network, I now know what my son and I have been missing. You helped us to truly understand what the grace of God is, and what it has done to set us free from guilt and condemnation that Satan would have us believe that we are still under. Now, I know and understand more than ever God’s love for us. I thank God for sending you into our lives. May He bless you and your family always.

During that decade, my youngest son, then aged 20, was murdered. Then, my oldest son was given six months to live. A second marriage was also failing. I had turned to drowning myself in alcohol to numb the pain of a failed life.

Carolyn Everett | Florida, USA

But I was lit on fire and filled with faith as I read your book over and over again. I read the Bible again with a new perspective, with eyes that had the revelation of grace.

I love God deeply and have always wanted to please Him and live for Him, but kept failing. Even though I fell in love with Jesus when I got saved at 18, I quickly lost my passion when I heard about all the things that I had to DO in order to keep God happy.

The hope that filled me up changed my life dramatically. During my incarceration, I shared the good news of God’s grace and many men came forward to commit themselves to Christ for the first time, while others came back to the Lord.

You have set me free. Your teachings that I have watched and your book Destined To Reign are liberating! It has changed my life and my ministry! Thank you.

I saw powerful changes in them by the power of God’s grace. Some of them, like me, are out of jail now. Those who have stayed in contact with me write to let me know that they are still serving Jesus passionately in His grace. One is even responding to a call to ministry and is applying for a place in a Bible College. Hallelujah! I have plugged myself back into a local church where the pastor preaches pure grace. No longer do I live under condemnation and shame. No longer do I take the antidepressants that I was on for nine years. And I have been completely set free from alcohol addiction. My marriage is also being healed and my son’s health has been restored. Glory to God! Jesus is real! The grace of God causes us to overcome! Thank you so much for your ministry. Tim Brewer | Washington, USA

ear Pastor Prince, Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have changed my life.

I thank God for your boldness, obedience and love. God bless you and your family. May you continue to preach the gospel of grace around the world and help set other people in bondage to the law and sin free! Anoushka Naidu | Durban, South Africa

Receiving Healing For Fear, Insecurity, Condemnation

I

was introduced to your message of grace through your program on TV. Then, I bought your Destined To Reign book and devotional. They helped me so much! I have fought fear, insecurity and condemnation my whole Christian walk. God healed me a lot through these books. I want more revelation of His love and grace. Thank you for hearing from God and reaching out to the world. Who would have thought that a pastor from Singapore would have the truth that I so desperately needed. Thank you for showing me who I really am and what I have in Christ. I feel connected to you because you speak the truth about God’s grace fearlessly and like you, I was once on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of condemnation. Thank you for the message of God’s grace. Angie Blain | USA

Cancer Gone!

M

y husband was told by his doctor that he had cancer. At about the same time, you were teaching about the Lord’s Supper in your program.

Mentally Healthier, Happier Than Ever

I

have suffered from mental health problems for years and have been hospitalized for this. The treatment given was medication of the strongest kind.

I would like to thank you Joseph for showing me God and for the way you teach His grace. You have shown me that God loves me, no matter what I think of myself. A very dear friend lent me a copy of your book Destined To Reign. I would read the book to and from work on the bus. I would laugh and cry, and forget that I was on the bus with everyone looking at me, but I didn’t care. I have told my family that I am now a born-again Christian, which I thought would be difficult for them to understand, but they have been very supportive as they have seen the changes in me since God came into my life. I have stopped smoking and I go swimming every day. I am happier than I can remember ever being and with the grace of God, I have slowly come off my medication. I have one more tablet to go and I will be completely free from all medication! Some days are still a challenge, but when I find things difficult, I pray until I find the strength to overcome the problem. Even my children can see the difference in me and my relationship with them has improved. So thank you Joseph and God bless you. Sharon Murphy | Richmond, UK

I remember hearing you tell a true story about a young lady who fell seriously ill after a flight and was sent to the hospital, and how the Lord’s Supper healed her. So I told my husband that every day until he returns to the doctor, we would pray and take the Lord’s Supper.

The praise reports were shared with Joseph Prince Ministries via email, post or phone. They were edited for length and the information furnished by the testimony-givers have been published in good faith.

After a couple of days, my son joined in as well. When my husband went for his last test, he was told that the cancer could not be found.

Joseph Prince In Italy Between 27 and 29 May 2010, Joseph Prince was in Palermo, Italy, to speak at the 25th Anniversary Celebration at La Parola della Grazia (The Word Of Grace Church). Invited by its senior pastor, Pastor Lirio Porrello, Joseph was one of the key guest speakers at the event.

Over three days, Joseph preached at a total of five sessions. At each session, he addressed more than 2,500 delegates, among whom were pastors and leaders from 20 to 30 churches all over Italy. Expounding on the gospel of grace with the aid of an interpreter, Joseph’s message left a deep and profound impact on the delegates. During the first two evening sessions, Joseph entered a time of ministry at the end of each session where some delegates experienced supernatural healing.
