6 December 2020 - How to Walk by the Spirit - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught us how to walk by the Spirit to overcome every sinful habit, to profit in all things and even operate powerfully in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Praise and Worship songs performed: 1. Come Let Us Adore Him 2. Come All Ye Faithful 3. Because of Your Love - New Creation Worship 4. Nothing But the Blood of Jesus Galatians 5:4 - When you try to be justified by the works of the Law, you fall from Grace. “You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.” (Galatians 5:4 WEB) Galatians 5:16-18 - We are not under the Law, so that we can now be under Christ. Not being under the Law doesn’t make you lawless. It means you are led by the Holy Spirit. The glory of God can shine out of you and show the reality of Christ to the people around you. Just walk by the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. The more you focus on not fulfilling the lusts of the flesh, you are putting yourself under the Law and you will be powerless to break free from sinful habits. Walk by the Spirit—be led by Him, and your sinful addictions will be broken. When the Spirit leads you, He deals with the root of your problem and not just the branches. The way of man is to attack the problem head on by using willpower, but the Holy Spirit leads you in a circuitous way to solve that problem permanently. God does not drive His flock—He leads His flock. Anything that pushes or drives you is not God. Be careful when you get into things like the stock market. You must be restful, and not become a slave to the stock market. Pastors and parents should also lead the one they are stewarding and not drive them. “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” (Galatians 5:16-18 WEB) Psalm 23:3 - The word “paths” in Hebrew is “magal” which means “a circuitous path”. We are following the Holy Spirit one step at a time. The shepherd leads the sheep in circuitous paths and the flock eats the shoots and grass that are along the way. “He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” (Psalms 23:3 WEB) In the side chamber of the temple of Solomon, there is a winding staircase that links the three levels of the chamber. A winding staircase is the fastest way to reach maximum height. As we go about our lives this year, we are actually ascending higher, making progress. Jesus said, “Take My yoke upon you.” A stronger, more mature cow is usually yoked to an inexperienced, younger cow. The younger cow must follow the older cow, if not he will be dragged when the older cow turns, and get a stiff neck. Jesus’ yoke is gentle. He will not hurt you. He leads you patiently and gently. John 10:27 - We who are believers certainly hear Jesus’ voice. You don’t have to learn how to hear His voice because that would be an abnormality. “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27 WEB)

13 September 2020 - Praying in Tongues: Your Powerful Threshing Sledge - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught that the gift of praying in tongues is a precious firstborn inheritance. It is a New Covenant weapon that destroys your mountains of problems and receives God's blessings, so pray in the Spirit often! God is no respecter of persons. What He can do for someone else, He can also do for you. While we were still sinners, God sent Jesus to die for us. Children who are loved will imitate their parents. The entrance of God’s word gives light, even if the message seems to be irrelevant to your situation. If you can’t see, just switch on the light instead of cursing the darkness. Isaiah 59:19-60:3 - The western countries had the revelation of the power of the name of the Lord first. But the glory of the Lord will be seen in the eastern countries (Asia). “Rising of the sun” reminds us of Japan, “the land of the rising sun”. God is going to do great things in the eastern countries like Japan, South Korea and even North Korea. Glory comes after grace. Keep God’s word in your mouth, especially praying in tongues. The notable thing that Isaac did was to uncover the wells dug by Abraham. Those wells were covered up by the Philistines. The devil is covering the wells of God’s word but God is progressively uncovering these truths now. A lot of believers are afraid of the word “prosperity” spoken in church. The devil has covered this well. Many hypocrites preach against prosperity but they themselves have big houses and two or three cars. God’s will is for us to prosper in all things—but not for greed. Pray in tongues. God’s glory will arise upon you. “So shall they fear Yahweh’s name from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which Yahweh’s breath drives. “A Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from disobedience in Jacob,” says Yahweh. “As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says Yahweh. “My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your offspring, nor out of the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says Yahweh, “from henceforth and forever.” ““Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you. For, behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” (Isaiah 59:19-60:3 WEB) Acts 2:16-19 - God is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh in these last days. When we prophesy, God will show wonders. “But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel: ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.” (Acts 2:16-19 WEB) Follow after love and desire spiritual gifts. The Holy Spirit will work through you. When you sense a flowing of God’s love and compassion, follow that prompting and the gifts of the Holy Spirit will manifest. These gifts are not just for ministering to believers, but to unbelievers as well. 11 August 2019 - Rapid Increase, Breakthroughs and Fruitfulness - Pastor Mark Ng Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPraise and Worship Songs performed:
The whole world is burning up and burning out. Depressing bad new is reported on new channels. Stress and helplessness are at high levels. Luke 21:25-28 - God knows about our dark times and He knows of our fears and worries. “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves; men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”” (Luke 21:25-28 WEB) In the current slow economy, companies are retrenching more than ever. Manpower has cheapened because of artificial intelligence. For example: at supermarkets, cashiers are replaced by machines. People have to multitask and take on overwhelming responsibilities in order to remain relevant. Isaiah 60:2 - There is a thick, palpable darkness today. People are under a cloud of depression. However, for believers, Jesus will arise over us—He is watching over us. As the world gets darker, the church will shine brighter—the church is our refuge. What is important in Heaven? Souls! “For, behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.” (Isaiah 60:2 WEB) The spiritual realm shows the truth. What is visible is temporal whereas what is invisible is eternal. Our Heavenly Father is watching over us as we learn how to walk. He cares for us and loves us unconditionally. God even bothers to number all the hairs on our heads. Earthly parents, in all their love for their children, don’t even bother to do that. When Jesus cast out the legion of demons from the demoniac in the land of the Gadarenes, the people of the region rejected Jesus and begged Him to leave. Jesus knows how rejection feels—He understands how you’re feeling.
