11 March 2018 - Live the Let Go Life with Pastor Joseph Prince on TBN (Episode 1 to 3) - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineEpisode 1 of Live the Let-Go Life with Pastor Joseph Prince: With God on your side, you can let your worries go. Letting go off your worries and problems is not irresponsible. It is the most powerful thing you can do. We have a Heavenly Father Who loves us. When we let go of our problems into His hands, we are letting His supply of grace flow in our lives. I Peter 5:7 - We can cast all our cares into His hands because He cares for us. “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” (I Peter 5:7 NKJV) Luke 12:25 - We can’t even accomplish the least by worrying. In fact, it harms our health. “And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” (Luke 12:25 NKJV) John 10:10 - Jesus wants us to live an abundant, overflowing life, and that happens when we live the let go life. “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10 NKJV) Philippians 4:6-7 - We can let go and receive the peace of God. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV) Psalm 91:1-2 - When you’re traveling, if God doesn’t keep the plane up, no amount of us can keep it up. You can lean back and trust that God is looking out for you. “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”” (Psalms 91:1-2 NKJV) Matthew 6:25 - Jesus’ finished work at the cross has already paid for all of our blessings. When you worry about a particular area of your life, you are constricting God's supply in that area. It's like blocking God's soft golden pipes of supply. We have lots of grace in areas that we don't worry about. The supply is always flowing. It’s not that only when we pray then the supply starts flowing. God has already supplied and is still supplying. We just need to receive it - let go and let His supply flow. ““Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25 NKJV) Let go and let God be God in your life. That is how you receive the breakthrough that you’re waiting for.

7 January 2018 - Vision Sunday: The Year of Hesed Wisdom - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Theme of the Year 2018The world is getting darker but you can see good days in 2018! The theme of the year is an emphasis that God is placing for a certain part of the body of Christ. Different ministries may have different themes of the year and sometimes they may overlap. God wants you to know the theme so that when a breakthrough happens, you can think “Oh yeah, it’s the theme of the year - it’s all by Your grace!” When you only look out for your own family without caring about others, your life becomes insular and you will start to feel like you need to be there to protect your family all the time. That’s not God’s way. God’s way is for you to seek His kingdom and His righteousness first and all these things will be added to you. When you lose your life for His sake, you will find it. The word for grace in Hebrew is “hesed”. Hesed is when you don’t deserve it but God still blesses you. When you expect something bad to happen but you get something good. That’s hesed. Many Bible versions translate the well-known verse as “His love endures forever”, but the word for love there is actually “hesed”. The Hebrew word for love should be “ahava”. Hesed flows down to the humble. Humility is a condition to receive it. Proud people cannot receive it because Hesed is undeserved, unearned, unmerited favor. Proud people think that they can earn it themselves and won’t even pray for it. Psalm 136:15 - When you see this year God overturning evil powers and nations, it’s because God is showing His hesed. If we don’t learn about the judgement of God that fell upon Jesus on the cross then we won’t know how to appreciate God’s grace. “But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, For His mercy endures forever;” (Psalms 136:15 NKJV) There are three accounts of Jesus raising people from the dead: Jairus’ daughter. Raised from the dead after she just died. Widow of Naim’s son. Raised from the dead on the same day. Lazarus. Raised from the dead after four days. Jesus can raised back any level of dead. God can turn your valley of conflict into a valley of blessing this year in 2018, just like how He did for king Jehoshaphat. When the king put his worshippers in the front lines of the battle, his enemies were defeated. I Kings 3:4-10 - King Solomon is the richest man who ever lived. He is a trillionaire. Great mercy in Hebrew is “hesed gadol” which is great grace. Great kindness in Hebrew is also “hesed gadol” which is also great grace. Grace is attracted to your weakness. Your weakness is your qualification for grace. You don’t have to try to find weakness - just be yourself. As you grow in the Lord, be patient with yourself. If there’s no weakness in your life, God’s grace cannot flow. Solomon calls himself a little child. He is humble and you can see the beginning of wisdom in him. Solomon asked for a hearing heart - wisdom. The next day after Solomon received wisdom from the Lord, two prostitutes came face to face to meet the king to resolve a dispute over a child. Solomon did not have to meet them, but he replied with great wisdom - he was looking for the heart of affection of the real mother. “Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?” And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?” The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.” (I Kings 3:4-10 NKJV) I Kings 3:10-15 - There is no earthly king that’s greater than Solomon. Solomon is the richest man that ever lived. After factoring in inflation, he would be worth about $2.1 Trillion in today’s time. Whatever your school results are does not deprive you of the good life that God can give you. There are many educated idiots out there and you can tell by the way they run things. God can give you wisdom. There was a condition attached to God’s promise: Solomon had to keep God’s commandments. In this area Solomon failed and that’s why his ministry only lasted for 40 years - despite that, it was still a golden age of Israel. “The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.” Then Solomon awoke; and indeed it had been a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.” (I Kings 3:10-15 NKJV) I Kings 4:29-34 - Solomon’s wisdom excelled all other wise men. Science can only tell you what is happening. Solomon’s wisdom can go beyond that. He can tell you why God created a particular animal and their purpose. You can learn many moral lessons from his wisdom. “And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore. Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men— than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations. He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five. Also he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish. And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon.” (I Kings 4:29-34 NKJV) Acts 4:33-34 - With great grace comes great power. There was no lack - they prospered. When great grace was upon them, provision flowed as well. “And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,” (Acts 4:33-34 NKJV) Proverbs 9:1 - Pastor Prince will be sharing more about the seven pillars this year both from the Old and New Testament. “Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars;” (Proverbs 9:1 NKJV) This is the Year of Hesed Wisdom. Pastor Prince told him that the theme of the year would make up the shape of the cross. The word Hesed shares an “s” with the word Wisdom: W I H E S E D D O M 17 December 2017 - Live at Lakewood Church: The Secret to a Quality Life - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation ChurchJesus is not here just to be a Spectator in your life. He is here to meet your needs. We serve God because we have been served by Him. When someone allows Jesus to serve him, Jesus pours forth His goodness. If we don’t allow Jesus to serve us, we cannot flow with Him. It is not wrong to serve God, but if the heart is full of troubles and worries while serving, then it’s because that person has not been served by God. Martha was full of complaints whereas Mary allowed Jesus to serve her. How glad Jesus was to find someone that was willing to be served! The Christian life begins with you sitting down, resting in what has been done. We are rich because of the cross. Now that you are rich, act like it. Sow bountifully. Tithe to show that God is the source of your finances. You don’t have to tithe - you get to tithe. God never plays catch-up. What God does is in the invisible realm and it will manifest physically. What is of the flesh manifests quickly but is not comparable to what God does. Ishmael is of the flesh and he arrived first, but Isaac who is born of grace is better even though he took longer to be conceived. The devil always plays catch-up to what God is doing. If you can’t tell what God is doing, see what the devil is doing in your life, reverse it, and you’ll know what God is doing. Example: If the devil has placed sickness in your body, it’s because God has released health in your life. The people of the world only see what the devil is doing, but we need to see what God is doing behind the scenes. Don’t pray for God to move against what the devil is doing. We need to pray to see what God has done and declare it! Matthew 6:25 - The secret to a quality life and a healthy body is letting go of our worries. ““Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25 NKJV) 3 December 2017 - Get What you Want through the Power of Imagination in your Heart - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineMary carried eternity in her arms. But at that time He was confined within time. There are people who say that Jesus wasn’t born on December 25, and most likely He was born around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. But still, it’s alright to celebrate Christmas, as long as you remember that it’s about God sending His Son Jesus. It’s not about Santa Claus, it’s about Jesus Christ. Proverbs 4:20-23 - God’s word is not health to the world out there. It’s to all who find them. God’s word is health to ALL your flesh! Life and health are produced out of your heart. So are sickness and disease. Long before sickness manifests outwardly, it already existed in your heart. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things. It’s out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. The heart is not your spirit. The Greek word for spirit is “pneuma” whereas the Greek word for heart is “cardia”. It’s not the same. Your heart is right at the center where your spirit and soul meet. It’s more important to understand how it works rather than where it is. God has put His name in your heart. If you dissect a heart, the cross-section is shaped like the Hebrew letter “shin” which looks like a tilted “W”. Your heart is the key to experiencing life and health. “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:20-23 NKJV) Matthew 28:20 - The word “always” should be more precisely translated as “all the days”. The Lord says He is with us all the days of our life. “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” (Matthew 28:20 NKJV) When you are conscious of the Lord, you will be afraid of nothing. When you lose sight of the Lord, you may even despair of your life. When the Prophet Elijah when conscious that the Lord was with him, he could courageously stand in King Ahab’s court with Jezebel right there. When he lost sight of the Lord and became more conscious of Jezebel’s threats upon his life, he became fearful and fled from her. 26 November 2017 - The Strength of the Lord is Upon the Weak and Insignificant of the Earth - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineWhere two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name, there He is in the midst of them. Two is the smallest plurality. We are not meant to live with just us and God. God’s dream is the church. The longest chapter in the Book of Genesis is about the church - where the servant is looking for a bride for Isaac. The church is not a building. The church is the people of God who believe in Jesus. The church is the most successful organization in the universe. God put Gold, silver and platinum out here on earth for the church. The treasures are for God’s children. God only corrects His own children. We correct our own children, not other’s children. There’s nothing easier to do than looking. Just look to Jesus for all your needs, even in your marriage. 19 November 2017 - Jesus Heals and Gives you Strength When you have None - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineSalvation from hell is a once and for all event in our lives. However, believing in God is a continuous thing we do - we keep putting our trust in Him again and again. Jesus is an ever-present Savior. He is saving us every day. Jesus is our present tense Savior. He is a very present help in trouble. The Lord Jesus is always at the point of your need. However the presence of the need doesn’t mean that Jesus will respond to the need. Sometimes people don’t want others to help them. We have to invite Jesus into our situation so that He can help us. Jesus becomes frustrated when He sees our need but cannot help us right away. It’s called the love of frustration. Spiritual growth means increasingly seeing your flaws and also increasingly seeing the Savior’s love for you. The Hebrew word for repentance is “Teshuva” which means “a return” - a return to God. As we become more spiritually-matured, we don’t become more self-reliant - that is an abomination. We should become even more reliant on God. 12 November 2017 - With God Little Becomes Much - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineMany people are afraid to let go because they think that they’ll drop into the abyss and there will be no one to catch them. Don’t worry, when you let go, our Heavenly Father’s loving arms are outstretched and ready to catch you if you fall. The Lord is speaking to Pastor Joseph Prince that it’s time to reach out to the young people - their hearts are a vacuum waiting to be filled by Jesus. The fourth service in New Creation Church in Singapore may be converted into a youth service session. Don't complain saying "This type of thing is for young people..." otherwise you'll grow old. Pastor Joseph Prince has no problem with believers and even pastors having tattoos (from their past before they were saved). He said for too long the devil has sent wolves in sheep’s clothing into the church. It’s about time we have sheep in wolf’s clothing to go out into the world to get people saved. He also added that he does not have a single tattoo on his body. 15 October 2017 - The Blood of Jesus Marks Us for Blessings - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineThe worst thing for the personification of love is if He cannot express His overflowing love. In Greek, the word for “worship” is “Proscuneo” which literally means come close to kiss. The cross of Jesus did not make God good. God was already good. It’s not right to believe that God is angry and Jesus is good. God’s goodness was hindered, thwarted, held back because of man’s sin. Remember John 3:16 - it was God that sent Jesus into the world to save us. God never gave up on His dream of having a family. When God wanted many sons, He gave us His only begotten Son. Until you can appreciate the extent of God's judgment that Jesus suffered for us on the cross, you cannot appreciate the depths of God’s love. Revelation 20:10-15 - The devil hates it when these verses are read. When the devil is gone, Jesus will rule and there will be no more sickness or disease. As believers, our names are in the Book of Life. Those who do not receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior during their lifetime will be assessed judicially according to their works. None of them will escape judgment. “The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:10-15 NKJV) John 5:24 - A believer can never come into judgement. If any sermons/books/media teach that a believer can be condemned to hell, chuck it aside. Believe in Jesus’ own words! When a believer dies, the spirit is taken out of the body right before the moment of pain, and then he/she becomes more alive than before. ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” (John 5:24 NKJV) The judgment seat of Christ is actually not a place of condemnation or judgment for sin. It should be interpreted as the Bema Seat of Christ, a place where believers receive their rewards and positions in heaven from Jesus. It is where believers receive their eternal rewards and we will already be standing at the Bema Seat of Christ in our glorified bodies after the Rapture. 8 October 2017 - Dare to Live for the Glory of God - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online1200 souls were saved at Holy Spirit Night Conference in Germany where Pastor Prince preached at! It’s important for us to know our Church history: Martin Luther was a German monk of the Augustinian Order. He knew the Hebrew language. He saw that people were putting money into the church coffers to provide relief for their loved ones who were in purgatory - That didn’t seem right to him because they didn’t have to repent, but the money could do the repenting for them. Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses on the door of the church. People circulated it by print and others labeled him as a heretic and wanted to kill him. There was a bounty on his head. A wealthy person kidnapped Martin Luther and kept him safe in a castle for 10 months. He translated the German Bible while he was there. In 1517, the Reformation started by his books circulated in print, not by him running around ragged. Now our equivalent of nailing an argument on the church door is posting on social media. We should use social media for the glory of Jesus, and not just sit back and let the devil do his thing. Pastor Joseph Prince "Live the Let-Go Life" Book Review - Breaking Free from Stress, Worry and Anxiety through this New Pastor Joseph Prince BookI pre-ordered Pastor Joseph Prince's new book "Live the Let-Go Life: Breaking Free from Stress, Worry, and Anxiety" and after collecting it in New Creation Church on Sunday 1 Oct 2017, I excitedly devoured the grace-filled pages of the book in 3 days. I wrote this post to encourage you: If you've never heard of this new book before or you're still on the fence and deciding whether to buy it, YOU SHOULD BUY IT! In this post, I will not be revealing any spoilers about the content, so feel free to read on. As the title of the book suggests, this book teaches the reader how to live the "Let-Go Life" which is a mindset that's counterintuitive to us as humans. How so? You have to read the book to find out :) Pastor Joseph Prince also elaborates about the three main enemies as named in the book title: Stress, Worry and Anxiety and how they hold us back from living the Let-Go Life which unlocks God's unconstricted flow of grace into our lives. More importantly he teaches us how we can break free from these three deadly enemies of our heart.
