Jesus came to save the world, not to judge it. He will return as a Judge, but now is the time for salvation.

Your soul is worth more than a billion dollars or anything on this earth. What good is it for a man to gain the world and lose his soul?

We don’t practice astrology—that’s demonic. But it’s true that God made the stars.

The next major event that is to happen is called “harpazo” in Greek, which refers to the snatching away of the church, also known as the Rapture.

Just as Jesus ascended back to Heaven bodily, He will return for us bodily.

Our faith rests on the authority of Scripture.
The word of God is God-breathed. He breathed His word into the Scriptures.

Voltaire said that after he dies, there will be no more Bible. After he died, his house was turned into a Bible-printing house. The word of God will last forever.

Thenumber one best-selling book of all time, even today, is still the Bible. God has ordained it.

Everything you need for this life is found in the Scriptures.

We want our children to be strong, healthy and to prosper in all things.
We want them to be well-off financially—so that they have plenty of money to love people, not love money and use people.

Jesus took our sins and sicknesses on His own body at the cross.

God is self-existent. He never was—He always is. That’s why He is “I AM”.
God being love wants an outlet to express His love.
Love is not expressed until it is given.

There are hierarchies of angels that were created. Lucifer was created as a cherub and archangel—the most powerful creature in existence and a guardian/steward of God’s righteousness.
Michael and Gabriel are the other two cherubim archangels that God created.

In the tabernacle, there was the Ark of the Covenant, and on the ark, there were two archangels covering the mercy seat.
These archangels represent Michael and Gabriel who stand beside God’s throne.

Lucifer still has his gifts and anointings but they have been corrupted.
One of the gifts that Lucifer has is the gift of writing songs.
Now instead of writing songs that worship God, he writes songs that worship himself.

Genesis‬ ‭1:28‬ - Pastor Prince believes that before God created Adam, God had cut Lucifer and his rebelling angels down to the earth.
When God made Adam, He told Adam to be fruitful and “replenish” the earth (based on the KJV translation).
“Re” means that the earth was once filled with creatures—a pre-Adamic race of creatures that were probably wiped out by Lucifer and his fallen angels.

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” ‭‭(Genesis‬ ‭1:28‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

No one can make you do anything. It’s still you choosing.
God didn’t make robots. He created us with free will.

God didn’t intend for man to die. The fall happened because man used his free will to rebel against God’s commandment.
When Adam sinned, death came into the world, and that’s why people become sick, weak, old and dead today.

Why did God make the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil?
There must be one thing that allows man to exercise his free will—to be able to choose to rebel against God.
If there’s no choice, then it’s not really free will.

God gives us boundaries for our own good. When we obey Him, we are kept safe.

When your children fail/are disobedient and you show them love when they are most undeserving of it, it can be a powerful moment for them.
It proves that your love for them is not based on their performance, but that you love them for being your children.
Even when you discipline them, do it from a place of love, not to vent your anger or frustrations.

The wages of sin is death. The soul that sins must die—not just physically, but first spiritually.
Adam died spiritually immediately when he sinned, but his physical death was 900 over years later.

God cannot allow sinful man to live in His presence.
Sin is like cancer—it spreads. It must be killed off.
God loves the sinner but He hates the sin that is harming the sinner.
How much do you hate the cancer in your loved one? It depends on how much you love the person.
God hates sin because He loves you.
Sin destroys—God’s way is always best.

The devil is always watching. He wants God to deviate from righteousness and he thinks that he’s next in line for God’s throne.

Under the Law, a sacrificial lamb would be brought to the priest in Israel.
The sacrificial lamb represents Jesus. It has to be unblemished.
After the priest examines the lamb and approves of the lamb, the offerer lays his hands on the lamb’s head as a form of identification.
The lamb receives the offerer’s sins — now the lamb bears the offerer’s sins.
Now the offerer is handed a knife and he must kill the lamb — represents Jesus’ death at the cross.
The offerer walks away with something he never had before—the righteousness of the lamb.

Jesus pre-existed with God the Father from the beginning.
He was the only baby that could choose where to be born.
If we could choose where to be born, we would likely choose to be born in a wealthy family.
But Jesus chose to be born in a humble, lowly stable.

Lucifer was angry that God made man to have dominion over the earth.
Lucifer who inhabited the earth before Adam schemed to take the rulership of the earth from Adam.
Adam bowed his knee to Satan the outlaw spirit and lost his position of rulership over the earth.

Abraham believed the same Gospel that we do today and He was declared righteous by faith. Today we don’t need to look at the constellations anymore because we have the Bible. Through faith in Jesus as written in the word of God, we become righteous and receive all the blessings of righteousness!

Abraham believed the Gospel that is written in the stars and was made righteous by faith

Disease is not from God. Jesus went about healing the sick and cleansing the lepers to show God’s will in action.
Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good. He came to make dead people live.

Genesis‬ ‭3:15 - Satan has a special hatred for women. He puts all sorts of laws in this world to subjugate women and oppress them.
He hates women because a woman would bring forth the Savior.

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”” ‭‭(Genesis‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

God is all-knowing but Satan isn’t. When you follow God, you’re following the winner!
Satan looked at Cain and Abel, and he guessed that Abel would be the chosen one to defeat him, so he instigated Cain to kill Abel.
But Satan was wrong—Jesus would come from the lineage of Seth.

The Holy Spirit is a person, but He is also called “Ruach Hakodesh” in Hebrew—“Holy Breath” of God.
Evil spirits are evil “winds” or “breaths”.

A spirit lives forever so there must be a place to house sinful spirits. God made the lake of fire for Satan.

Psalm 147:3-4 - Scientifically, man cannot number all the stars, but God can and He knows them all by name.
God heals the broken-hearted.

“He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.” ‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭147:3-4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The mystery of the atom: Atoms are supposed to repel because they are of like charges. But there is a force holding them together.
This force is Jesus who made all things and holds all things together (Colossians 1:17).

Genesis 15:5-6 - The word “count” is saphar in Hebrew. It can mean to “declare/tell the story”.
Abraham didn’t become righteous by counting the number of stars in the sky—he saw something else in the stars.

“Yahweh brought him outside, and said, “Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So will your offspring be.” He believed in Yahweh, who credited it to him for righteousness.” ‭‭(Genesis‬ ‭15:5-6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Psalm 19:1-3 - The word “declare” is also saphar.

“The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.” ‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭19:1-3‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Job 38:31-32 - The zodiac constellations in Hebrew is the word “mazzaroth”.
The constellation actually begins with Virgo and ends with Leo.
The story of the New Testament is written in the stars.
The archangel Gabriel declared Mary as highly favored among women, not above women.
She is the virgin (Virgo) who would bring forth the prophesied Seed who would destroy the serpent (Satan).
At that time in Israel, women would want to be the blessed one who gives birth to the promised seed.
The zodiac Virgo holds “seed” in her left hand and a “branch” in her right hand.
A picture of the virgin bringing forth the promised child and Him growing up.
The next zodiac is Libra—a dead lamb on the scales and next to it is the southern cross.
Through Jesus the Lamb of God who died on the cross, God the Judge has evened out the scales.
The zodiac Scorpio is positioned under Hercules (which is actually a picture of Jesus)—The strong man the crushing the scorpion under his heel. A picture of Jesus crushing Satan.
A scorpion’s sting is from behind whereas a serpent attacks from the front.
Sometimes Satan attacks in an obvious way, and at other times it’s hidden. Beware of the sneak attacks.
The constellation Bootes shows a man holding a sickle in one hand and a shepherd’s rod in another.
Jesus harvests souls (salvation) and then shepherds them.

““Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion? Can you lead the constellations out in their season? Or can you guide the Bear with her cubs?” ‭‭(Job‬ ‭38:31-32‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Revelation 5:5 - The last zodiac is Leo, representing Jesus the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
Today we don’t need to look at the zodiac in the stars because we have the Bible.
Abraham didn’t have the Bible, but he believed in the same Gospel that you believe.
When Abraham believed the Gospel written in the stars, that was accounted to him as righteousness.
Today when we place our faith in Jesus, we become righteous in Him and all the blessings of righteousness are ours.

“One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals.”” ‭‭(Revelation‬ ‭5:5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Jesus was judged at the cross for all your sins. If God judges you (a believer) today for your sins, He would be unrighteous to do so.

God has already gone ahead of you into 2020 and He’s come back to guide you into it.
You only need to put your hand in His hand and trust Him to bring you to a good place.

Satan points you to yourself and your sins, but you can point him to Jesus—all your sins have been paid in full at the cross.

Don’t give authority to Satan to work evil in your life.
Don’t believe in the horoscope (a scope of horror)—believe in the word of God.

Some testimonials of my writing:

"Great writer and theologian. I love your work. You are in tune with the Holy Spirit."

- Pastor Dave Hammond, Faith Baptist Church of Myra, USA

"Milton Goh my brother, your insight on Grace has set me free from 20 yrs of addiction. I was a 7 time felon but by the GRACE of God I am now an ordained minister. Here is some of my story: I was saved in Dec 2016 and started evangelizing in July of 2017 as soon as I was released. My ministry has led over 800 to Jesus. I go to jails, rehabs, homeless shelters plus numerous churches! Your notes and sermons allowed me to find rest in Jesus. I was getting tired trying to perform what I thought God needed from me. You have made me realize it's 100% the CROSS and now I go constantly for Jesus but never get tired. Thanks for your wisdom and love for Jesus. May God bless you and your family!"

- Evangelist Michael Clark from Cumberland, Kentucky, USA

"Milton Goh gives common sense insight on often confusing scripture, which is much appreciated in these troubled times."

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

Sandcastles Don't Last Forever

$14.99 $9.99

This is the eBook version.

If you prefer to get the Paperback version (physical copy), you can get it on Amazon here for US$15.

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 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!

Many blessings and thanks to Terence Koh, Shanice Ng, Jeremie Tay and Justina Ng for supporting this blog as our Superabundant Grace tier patrons!
