Pastor Prince just released two new books: “Anchored”, and “No More Mind Games” which are written with depressed believers in mind. 
The devil has released an army of suicidal spirits at this time. Many suicides are taking place worldwide. The devil plays mind games with you. 
If a group of your friends are talking in one corner, the devil will whisper to you saying “See, they are badmouthing you!” when they are actually planning a secret birthday party for you. 
There is a place in Christ where you can be solidly established in your faith. 

Put the word of God everywhere in your house (Deuteronomy 11) so that your children will learn it, and your family will enjoy days of heaven on the earth. Cushions, ornaments, posters, fridge magnets, etc. with Bible verses printed on them are good! 

We must evangelize - we must share the Good News with our friends. The best way to love someone is to tell them about Jesus. 

You don’t receive wisdom from worldly books or just by being old. You have to receive it from God. 

Bearing a grudge is like concocting a poison for someone else to drink but you end up drinking it yourself. 

Young Solomon asked for wisdom and God gave him wisdom that came with riches, honor, health, and pleasure. 

God gives natural wisdom (Hakham) to leaders of nations, judges, etc. Pastor Prince believes that God gave Lee Kuan Yew (the late Minister Mentor of Singapore) great wisdom to lead and govern Singapore.

Don't live your life close to the world - stay established inside the boundaries of the Promised Land

​Physical enemies of the children of Israel are types (shadows) of the spiritual enemies that we face today. 
The types in the Old Testament are examples written for our learning today. 

How God views Jesus is how God views you today. As Jesus is, so are you in this world. 

The Dead Sea is so full of minerals that life cannot exist in it. There is an inlet but no outlet. We cannot just keep receiving without giving. 

John the Baptist cried out “Prepare the way for Yahweh”. He was saying that Jesus is Yahweh. 
John also said let every mountain be brought low and every valley be raised. 
Jerusalem is on a mountain whereas Galilee is a valley - He’s saying that let proud Jerusalem be humbled and humble Galilee be exalted. 
There are lessons to learn even from the topography in the Bible. 

Whatever enemies you are facing today, they are squatters who are illegally encroaching on your Promised Land. 
They have to be driven out. God can give you wisdom to evict them. 

​People are giving room to the enemy. Giving room allows something to grow. Whatever you compromise will come back to harm you. 
King Saul did not fully eliminate the Amalekites and in the end an Amalekite killed him. 
Your flesh is not you, but the sin principle working in you. 
Through the grace of God you can put your flesh to death. 
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child and a rod of correction will drive it far away. 
​

Numbers 32:1-9 - Back in Kadesh Barnea when Joshua and Caleb said that the Promised Land was a very good land, the children of Israel were almost going to stone them for suggesting that. 
Today when people preach that the gospel will cause you to prosper and be blessed, people stone them on social media through negative posts. 
Did you realize recently that your inheritance has been attacked? The enemy launched a spiritual attack on you. 
Your inheritance in Christ includes wealth. 
If you just live for money, you will lose out on the rest of the inheritance in Christ. 
God wants us to work. If anyone does not work he is worse than an infidel. We must teach our children the value of the dollar, especially if they grow up in a privileged, wealthy family, never needing to work a day in their life. 
Reuben, Gad and Manasseh missed out on the best of what God has because they didn’t cross over to the Promised Land - They chose to be close to the world: “world-bordering”, because it seemed like a lush and verdant land to their eyes. 
Ever since then, no great man or woman of God came from these two-and-a-half tribes. 
In dating, the safest place to be in terms of boundaries in to be at the center and not pushing the boundaries to the edge of the cliff. 
There is no such thing as a “white lie”. A lie is a lie. Just a bit of compromise can cause you your health. 
The word “holy” and the word “whole” have the same root word. 
For a church, don’t play the numbers game (so focused on the number of members in the church). Pastor Prince likes to think that he’s a father talking to individuals in the church. 
Go through the books that your children are reading. Pastor Prince never allows his children to watch or read Harry Potter - there are demonic factors in them. 
Don’t bring occult items of the devil (like lucky charms) into your house. 
Little compromises make big differences. Don’t allow your children to exalt themselves. Remind them that everything good that happens is because of the favor of God. 
Reuben, Gad and Manasseh were the first tribes to get captured by the kingdom of Assyria. They were the nearest tribes to that kingdom - world-bordering. 
Don’t give excuses that you’re focused on earning money for the Lord. See where your focus is spent - it will reveal the truth whether it’s for the Lord or for yourself. 

“Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock. When they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that behold, the place was a place for livestock; the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying, “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon, the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.” They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.” Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here? Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh has given them? Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land. For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which Yahweh had given them.” (Numbers 32:1-9 WEB)

If a piece of advice is not based on the word of God, it will never work. 
The modern world would like you to think that spanking a child makes the victims grow up weird, but they will grow up fine, as long as they’re not abused. Caning is for the backside (butt), not for anywhere else on the body. 
Don’t be afraid to crush the spirit of your child - you won’t. Don’t wait till the world crushes him or her at 30 years old. 
Don’t be afraid to enforce rules and boundaries in parenting. Grace is what gives us wisdom to do this. Rewarding children is fine too. 

I John 2:15-16 - The world is not referring to the earth but the people in it. 
These sins are exactly what Eve did: She saw that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was good for eating and for making her wise. 
The devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness wit the same temptations and even though Jesus did not eat anything for 40 days, He still succeeded in overcoming Satan’s temptations! 
If you’re a Christian, don’t try to imitate the style or philosophy of the world to appeal to them. You’ll end up lower than the world. 

“Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.” (1 John 2:15-16 WEB)

About the Book:

​

One day when I was singing praises to God, an image floated up in my spirit: a big and beautiful sandcastle being washed away by the waves from the sea. God was teaching me the futility of holding tightly onto worldly possessions because like the sandcastle, they won't last, and one day will cease to exist.

He taught me from His word to focus on Him and by doing so, I would reap great eternal rewards before Jesus' throne at the start of the Millennium. These rewards will last forever and can't be destroyed or stolen. 

It is my prayer that the revelations in this book will help you to live with a focus on the things above where God is, fulfill your God-given calling in life, be happier and to accumulate more eternal rewards to your account.

In this Book, you will learn about:​

- Heavenly investment advice and the futility of worldly pursuits from a trillionaire in the Bible

- Why God has to reward us in order to be righteous

- When and how God will destroy the current earth and sky to make way for new ones

- The types of fireproof works that earn eternal rewards at the end of time

- The abundant rewards of doing good works while abiding by the non-disclosure agreement between God and you

- The difference between the temporary places of torment: Sheol and Abaddon

- Who is the Antichrist and his name revealed in the Bible

- What is the Mark of the Beast and why it disqualifies its recipients from receiving salvation

- The different judgments at the throne of Jesus Christ and what it means for you as a believer

- How to fulfill your calling and maximize your gifts to receive the best eternal rewards 

Testimonials about the contents of this book:

"Sandcastles Don't Last Forever is very well written, its message loud and clear. Milton Goh gives common-sense insight on often confusing Scripture, which is much appreciated in these troubled times. My understanding of the Bible has definitely improved."

- Mike Garrett, first Editor/ Publisher for Stephen King and Author of Christian Novel "Innocence Denied", from USA

"This book is absolutely breathtaking. We don't work to be saved but were created to do good works. I am so energized and excited to know God values our works and we will be rewarded. This is all Glory to Jesus... I cant wait to throw my crowns at his feet and thank him for saving my life!" - Evangelist Michael Clark from USA

"Dear Milton Goh, I truly thank our Abba, Father for the revelations in this book. It is so amazing how I begin to discover important verses in the Bible that I have never read. That instead of following riches, with sleepless nights, and actually shortening our lives, we are just to 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ', and 'Love one another'. How beautiful to find out that actually in the Bible there is both 'Earthly or Worldly Investment Wisdom' and 'Eternal Investment Wisdom' according to the revelations here from Ecclesiastes 5:14-17 WEB)!; “It seems like Solomon was not only wise at earning material riches but also at earning eternal riches.” All the glory to our Lord Jesus Christ! God bless you Milton Goh for such a wonderful book!" - Nitta Nierra from Belgium

“Thank you Milton. I have just finished reading “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”. It’s such a good book that's filled with God's word. I love it very much. Might read again if I have the time. Thanks so much!” - Mally Chai from Singapore

"I'm reading this book and loving it! The revelations of the Gospel truth shared and it's life applications are absolutely amazing! I give glory to the Lord Jesus for my dear brother Milton for this exceptional resource. I'm gonna keep feeding on its contents and believe God for supernatural breakthroughs as my mind is renewed in Christ!" - Terence from Tombel, Cameroon 

​

“Excellent book!! I enjoyed reading it so much and definitely recommend it! Milton is so gifted and all his teachings have blessed me tremendously! I thank God for people like him. Get this book, it will be worth it!” - Madeleine from SA, “Unmerited Favor” tier patron

I Peter 1:3-5 - Three things about your inheritance in Christ: If God gives you something, it’s not subject to death, cannot be touched by sin (you can’t lose it through sin), and not subject to time. 
Our bank is in heaven, our inheritance can be enjoyed here on earth. We are in the “last time” (“time” here in Greek: Kairos). We're living in the end times. 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you, who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” (1 Peter 1:3-5 WEB)

II Chronicles 18:1-3 - Jehoshaphat was a righteous king (righteousness imputed to him from God). 
Ahab was a wicked king, the husband of Jezebel. 
Jehoshaphat made an alliance with Ahab. 
Iran is becoming a problem again for Israel. Even Russia is joining in. It seems like the stage is getting set for Ezekiel 38. 
True Christianity doesn’t mean becoming a recluse/hermit who cuts off from the world. 
When the world wants to engage you for business, it’s okay, but never go down to their principles and never get involved in a battle that’s not yours. 
Jehoshaphat got involved in a battle that wasn’t his. King Josiah died young also because he got involved in a battle that’s not his. 
When you agree with the world, you get the world’s fate. 
When you say “I am as you are” to the world, the world’s portion becomes yours. 
In the Book of Revelation, Jesus said “come out of her” - the ungodly and pagan practices of the world. 

“Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab. After some years, he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead. Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.”” (2 Chronicles 18:1-3 WEB)

II Chronicles 18:29-34 - It was a big mistake for Jehoshaphat to ally with Ahab. 
​Ahab's plan was very cunning. Sometimes the world is more shrewd than Christians are. 
Jesus told us to be wise as serpents, not doves. We are to be loving and harmless as doves, but wise as serpents. 
In the entire account of Creation in Genesis 1, the Hebrew word for God is “Elohim” (the powerful Creator). From Genesis 2, when man came on the scene, God is referred to as Yahweh. 
Jehoshaphat called out to Yahweh Whom he had a relationship with, and Elohim saved him. 
A randomly fired arrow struck Ahab and he died. From that day, Jezebel became a widow. 

“The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.” When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him; and God moved them to depart from him. When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him. A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me out of the army; for I am severely wounded.” The battle increased that day. However the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening; and at about sunset, he died.” (2 Chronicles 18:29-34 WEB)

I John 4:17 - “I am as you are”. Declare “as Jesus is, so am I in this world”.
Say “I am as you are, Lord Jesus”. 
This is an unqualified statement - it is unlimited. You can receive whatever Jesus is right now. 
Just as Jesus is forever righteous and seated far above all principalities and powers, so are you in this world. 
Because Jehoshaphat identified himself with Ahab, he found himself placed in the same situation that lay in the king of Israel’s future: being surrounded by enemies. 
Don’t identify yourself with anyone else but Jesus. Not even your parents or mentor. 

“In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.” (1 John 4:17 WEB)

Pastor Prince’s Closing Prayer:
God put in his heart to pray specifically for parents and businesspeople. 
If you’re a parent, don’t let the world educate your children. 
He prayed for parents to receive wisdom from God to guide them in every way they should take, and every decision they need to make. 
He prayed for parents to love, nourish and discipline their children well in the Lord.
He prayed for businesspeople to cease from wicked business practices that are against God’s will. 
He prayed that businesspeople who make a right decision that causes them to lose out in the natural, they will be restored with something much greater. 
He prayed that everyone will be under God’s unclouded favor, be kept far above all principalities and powers, and protected from all accidents, tragedies, sickness, powers of darkness etc. In Jesus’ name, Amen! ​

Pinterest Pinnable Image. Say “I am as you are, Lord Jesus”. This is an unqualified statement - it is unlimited. You can receive whatever Jesus is right now. Just as Jesus is forever righteous and seated far above all principalities and powers, so are you in this world. Don’t identify yourself with anyone else but Jesus. Not even your parents or mentor.

I highly recommend purchasing Pastor Prince's sermons on his mobile app "Joseph Prince" on Apple App Store or Google Play Store even after you read these notes as I may have missed out something he shared and the overall experience is definitely different when you listen to him preaching directly!
​Use these notes as a revision guide instead of solely depending on them!

These sermon notes are independently-compiled by me, and I'm just a loyal and regular attendee of the the church's Sunday services, and I feel led to take detailed personal sermon notes of Pastor Prince's anointed messages to share them with the world, which desperately needs the true word of God and the original gospel of grace.

I feel blessed to be able to attend Pastor Joseph Prince's services in person, and would like to help everyone who isn't able to attend in person, to get hold of the messages as soon as it is preached!​​​
