8 March 2020 - Sit Afresh with Christ to Overcome Every New Challenge - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon Notes

Every time the devil raises up a new trial or persecution to shake your faith, practice sitting afresh with Christ and see how God has already prepared all the protection and provision for you. His supply of grace always exceeds your needs.

Let’s not talk about the coronavirus which the world is talking about. Let’s talk and hear about Jesus—the King of kings and Lord of lords.

We are like on a wilderness journey on our way home to Heaven.

When believers pass on today, it’s not death but falling asleep, because Jesus has conquered Death for us. Death is behind us.

In the wilderness, the rock was smitten and water came out to refresh the people. The rock represents Jesus.
The waters of Mara were bitter, but the tree was thrown in and the water became sweet.
The tree is a picture of Jesus’ finished work at the cross.

The fiery serpents bit the children of Israel in the wilderness, but when they looked intently at the bronze serpent on the pole, they were healed and lived.
The bronze serpent on the pole represents Jesus crucified at the cross, who bore all our sin and curse.

Those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will reign in life through Jesus Christ.

Righteousness is gift to you because Jesus paid for it and you received it freely by faith.

Don’t forsake the gathering of the church even as we see the day approaching.
The day of the Rapture is approaching.
We see plagues, great earthquakes and rumors of wars, just as Jesus predicted.
But don’t focus on all these—lift up your heads and look to Jesus.

The 144,000 in the Book of Revelation are Jewish evangelists who will be raised by God to proclaim the Gospel to the world during the Tribulation which is after the Rapture.

When the Rapture happens, we won’t be like disembodied ghosts—we will have new immortal bodies. We will live forever in that body, and never be sick or die.
We will not be limited by time or space.

What God does will stand the test of time. The devil gives quick fixes that don’t really have lasting beneficial effects.

Don’t fear what the world fears. The most spoken words Jesus day is “al tirah” (fear not).
The first time al tirah appears in the Bible is when Abram had a dream about God assuring him that He was his shield (Genesis 15:1).

When He was on earth, Jesus could not be destroyed or killed because He was sinless—death could not fasten on Him. This is referred to as the “impeccability of Christ”.
Even though Jesus could not be killed, there was a humility about Him—He was born as a baby, and we read that He felt physical tiredness.

For the feeding of 5000, Jesus used only 5 loaves to feed them. For the feeding of 4000, Jesus used 7 loaves.
In God’s economy, the bigger the problem, the easier it is for Him to solve it.
God’s ways are opposite of the world.

To be exalted, we should humble ourselves.
Being exalted (promoted) is not wrong—but let God be the one to exalt you. Don’t try to get there yourself.
God exalts you to become a greater blessing to others, and so that you can bring many to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We have prosperity for a purpose.

We are now in the dispensation of Grace. God is thrice-holy and cannot receive sinful man into His presence.
Through Jesus’ finished work at the cross, God had a righteous basis to receive us as His children.
Jesus’ precious blood that was shed fully met the divine requirements of the Law.

God told Abraham to take his son, the son that he loved, to be sacrificed at Mount Moriah. In the end, God did not let Isaac die.
This incident is a picture of what was to come at the cross.
God the Father offered His only Son, the Son whom He loved, to be sacrificed at the highest point on Mount Moriah—Mount Calvary.

Jesus said, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” He is still the I AM.

When worldly men are prosperous, they don’t think about God or their soul. They only focus on their flesh and its satisfying its carnal desires.

Through this COVID-19 virus, even though it’s not from God, many souls are thinking about God for the first time and even receiving Jesus as Lord.

Pastor Joseph Prince mentioned a good book “Beyond Death’s Door” written by Dr Maurice S. Rawlings which is the testimony of a well-respected medical surgeon that describes a glimpse of the afterlife—both Heaven and Hell.

When the devil tries to provoke you into action with a new challenge, sit afresh in Christ and see yourself protected in Him

God the Father loves Jesus for who He is and also for what He did at the cross.
Even the thought of becoming sin at the cross caused Jesus great distress such that He sweat blood.
For you and I to become sin, it’s nothing because we are accustomed to sin.
But Jesus has never sinned and never had sin in Him.

John‬ ‭17:23‬ - We are loved by God the Father as much as (even as) Jesus is loved by Him. God’s perfect love casts out all fear.

“I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.” (John‬ ‭17:23‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Luke 14:15-24 - We can’t even imagine how great the food will be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. God already brings us from something good to something greater.
Before the last supper just before Jesus was betrayed, the disciples came to the upper room that was furnished and made ready.
All things are prepared for you. When God gives something to you, it is furnished and made ready.
When salvation is given freely, man doesn’t want it. Their sinful flesh wants to earn it.
The excuses given by the men are pathetic. Who buys a field before seeing it? Who buys a vehicle (oxen were used for agriculture) before testing it out?
The Romans built excellent roads. God allowed them to cover the world with their conquest so as to prepare great infrastructure for the Gospel to go forth.
Similarly, the Internet, social media and all these platforms are for the Gospel to reach the whole world.
Of course the devil has hijacked these things and filled them with junk, but God’s supply and power is greater.
A prophetic word that Pastor Prince received: The hedges is the last place mentioned by Jesus. It refers to the last move of God before the Rapture—hedges refers to the curtains like the “Iron Curtain” (Russia) and the “Bamboo Curtain” (China).
These nations will receive a powerful move of God with multitudes of people receiving Jesus as Lord.
Something great is going to happen for China post-COVID-19.

“When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!” But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people. He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’ They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’ “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’ “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’ “That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’ “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’ “The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper.’”” (Luke‬ ‭14:15-24‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Don’t be motivated by fear. The Lord will lead you in divine protection by the prompting of the Holy Spirit.

Those who contracted COVID-19 and recovered are now walking around like they are immune. They are acting like believers who believe in the promises of Psalm 91.
We need to have a renewal of mind so that we see ourselves immune like these people.

Psalm 91:1-8 - The word “dwells” is “yashav” in Hebrew which means to sit.
The secret place of the Most High we sit in is being in Christ.
Whenever the devil tries to provoke you to do something with a fresh challenge, have a fresh sitting. Rest in Jesus again.
It’s not about claiming Psalm 91 in a spirit of fear.
It’s only effective when you have a sense of how protected you are in Christ.

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.” (Psalms‬ ‭91:1-8‬ ‭WEB)

Ephesians 2:4-10 - God is rich in mercy, not rich in wrath.
God didn’t send Jesus to die for us in a clinical manner. He sent Jesus out of His love for us.
God is love so He can love all of us deeply and personally. Our hearts can’t really love more than a few people, but God’s capacity to love is infinite.
What was done to Jesus is done to you and I who have faith in Jesus—we shared in His death, burial, resurrection, ascension and glorification.
Just like how all man were born in sin because Adam sinned. Our destiny is wrapped up in our ancestors.
We have received a new ancestor: Jesus Christ. He is the last Adam—a new man who is without sin.
Your soul (mind, will and emotions) is being progressively renewed and saved, but your spirit is already completely perfected in Christ.
Can a Christian smoke and still go to Heaven? Yes, faster—because the smoking harms his health and he dies earlier.
The only requirement for a person to go to Heaven, is to have faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.
We are now seated with Christ in the heavenly places in Him.
When you see “Christ Jesus” instead of “Jesus Christ”, it’s referring to the ascended Christ—the glorified one sitting far above all powers and principalities.
Jesus Christ refers to when He was still on earth, before His death at the cross.
What we are looking forward to see is the exceeding riches of His grace in the ages (dispensations) to come.

“But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.” (Ephesians‬ ‭2:4-10‬ ‭WEB)

2 Thessalonians 3:3 - It’s not about your faithfulness, but the Lord’s faithfulness. He is the one guarding you from evil.
A child holding on to his mother is never really safe until the mother is holding him tightly.

“But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.” (2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭WEB‬)

A pastor’s job is not to meddle in politics. His job is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 49:12-13 - A prophetic word that Pastor Prince received.
The north refers to Russia, the west refers to America, and the land of Sinim refers to China.
Sinim is mentioned the last because it is linked to the last great move of God.
The church in China is greatly persecuted, but they will be comforted and receive mercy from these persecutions.

“Behold, these shall come from afar; and behold, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.” Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break out into singing, mountains: for Yahweh has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.” (Isaiah‬ ‭49:12-13‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Isaiah 49:17 - The COVID-19 will leave China. Don’t be surprised that it will quickly stop and that the first places it leaves from will be China and Singapore.

“Your children hurry. Your destroyers and those who devastated you will leave you.” (Isaiah‬ ‭49:17‬ ‭WEB‬)

Messiah's Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ

$14.99 $9.99

I have prayed for others and seen instant healing miracles and received supernatural words of knowledge about them. I have also received miracles through prayer and others praying for me.

The Bible clearly reveals God’s will for every believer to walk in the miraculous. If you’re tired of a Christian walk that has no evidence of God’s manifested power, all it takes is to replace some wrong beliefs so that unbelief can be cast out. This is what I believe the Holy Spirit wants to do through this book.

Under the New Covenant of Grace, every blessing is received by faith. Faith comes by hearing about Jesus and this book is all about Jesus and designed to impart faith to the reader. During Jesus’ ministry on earth, He didn’t work any miracles by His own authority as God. He relied completely on faith in His Father and the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit purposefully chose 37 of Jesus’ miracles to be recorded in the four gospels. This is no coincidence. Each miracle reveals something powerful about our Lord Jesus. As you behold Jesus' love, grace and mercy expounded in these 37 miracles, I believe that you will see miracles erupt in your own life!

Testimonials from readers:

“One of my most trusted teachers has truly written a masterpiece. I can't put this book down.”
- Michael Clark, Highly Sought-After Preacher in USA

“Thank you, Milton for the anointed sharing of the 37 miracles of Jesus. Right from the 1st miracle, God dropped fresh revelations of His heart to me. It wasn't head knowledge that I experienced. I felt His personality, His loving heart's intents towards me. On top of that, there's also revelation of His healing power. Praise Jesus for transforming my heart and bringing me closer to Him through Milton's sharing.”
- Ann Tan, GEM patron from Singapore

- 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.

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
