Pastor Prince sees the Lord with His hand raised in the posture of being yearning to bless you. 
2019 is going to be different from all the years before. 
A tsunami of blessings is coming your way. You will be swept away by the waves of blessings! 
God is preparing to rain showers of blessings on you.

Your job is to prepare bigger vessels. Prepare for growth, for increase, for enlargement. 
You’re not going to be at the same level you were this year. 

2019 is going to be a year for singles to receive the manifestation of their life partner. 

Our vile bodies are going to be transformed into a glorious body when the Rapture happens in the future. 

Jesus is bodily at the Father’s right hand. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus. It’s the same but a different form.
Jesus is no longer localized like when He was on earth, but He is now everywhere through the Holy Spirit.
He will come back bodily for us at the Rapture.

When Jesus was on earth, He demonstrated that He is the Lord of Time (turning water into wine) and Space (healing the nobleman’s son).

All beauty comes from the Lord Jesus Christ. The created cannot be greater than the Creator. 
Multiply the trait that you love in your loved one by a thousand times and it’s still not as beautiful as Jesus is. 

Jesus the Lord of Time and Space

Jesus and Mary His mother were invited to a wedding in Cana. 
In Jewish culture, the father of the bride pays for everything. 
The wine ran out at the wedding and it’s something embarrassing to have it run out. 
Wine was an important feature of Jewish weddings - the celebratory aspect.
The man had six water pots of stone. It’s so much more expensive than clay. 
Six is the number of man. The six water pots of stone (representing the Law which was written on stone) were filled to the brim with water. 
Man cannot keep the Law. 
Jesus turned the water into wine - not just wine but the best wine! 
Wine comes from grapes from the vine. The vines cling to the trellis, which are often shaped like the cross (A ‘t’ shape). 
You have to wait many years for the grapes to ripen. 
The longer you store wine, the better the value and greater the taste. 
Jesus made the best wine in just one instant - He demonstrated that He is the Lord of Time who can compress time. 
The Lord can heal you in one fell swoop. In one moment of time. 

Ever since Adam sinned, everything in life declines and goes downwards. 
That’s why the Theory of Evolution is false. There’s no such thing as a lower life form becoming a higher life form by itself. 
A hot cup of coffee left alone will become cool. 

Pastor Prince will pray for the renewal of our youth in the next service. We will receive the harvest we are believing for in 2019. 

Jesus healed a nobleman’s son who lived many miles away. Jesus said “Go your way, your son is healed”, and the nobleman believed. 
When the man went back, he found that his son was healed and he was healed exactly at the time when Jesus declared his healing.
In this miracle, Jesus demonstrated that He is the Lord of Space.
Jesus doesn’t have to be physically present to touch you in order to heal you. The healing anointing is not limited by distance. 

Believers are the children of God. Jesus called healing the “children’s bread”. 
We are seated at the table as children, partaking of the daily bread. 
We are not dogs eating the leftover crumbs under the table.

​Poverty is a spirit. A person can feel poor and have plenty of money. A poor person is a person without Jesus. 

Bitterness, unforgiveness and hatred that you hold in your heart can lead to disease in your body. 
It’s like preparing a poison for someone else and unknowingly drinking it yourself. 
Love will heal you. Release the person you hate for your own sake and receive your healing. 
Lack of peace leads to dis-ease. Get back into the peace and ease. 

Children who face rejection in childhood grow up to have problems with lust. 
Samson was set apart as a Nazirite. He had to keep long hair and couldn’t touch grapes.
He was probably teased by other mean children as a boy. 
Samson’s father Manoah was a weak man who didn’t make Samson feel accepted, loved and like a true man. 
Weak men raise sons that grow up to struggled with lust and become abusive. 
Shame causes you to repeat a cycle of addiction. ​

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

It's not about our works - it's the blood on the mercy seat that makes us righteous!

Romans 3:24-26 - Justification is like a play on words “Just if I never sin”. 
The words “atoning sacrifice/ propitiation” (in Greek: Hilasterion) means mercy seat. 
The mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant is beaten from one slab of gold. 
The main thing that the Ark housed was the two tablets of the Ten Commandments (The Law).  
The mercy seat in Hebrew is kapporeth and it means to fully cover. 
Under the Law, on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies and sprinkle blood seven times on the mercy seat.
As long as the blood was on the mercy seat, Israel could expect family blessings, protection and a good year. 
Seven is the number of perfection - we have been perfectly and completely forgiven because of Jesus’ shed blood. 

“being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance; to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.” (Romans 3:24-26 WEB)

Exodus 25:20-22 - The ark is a picture of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
He’s fully Human (wood) and fully God (gold). 
Why are the Cherubim there on the mercy seat? The Cherubim are the highest and most powerful of angels. 
There should have been three before, but there’s only two because Lucifer (whom the Bible calls the anointed cherub) fell. 
The two cherubim are probably representative of Michael and Gabriel.
The devil led one-third of the angels astray and they rebelled against God and were cast out of heaven to become demons. 
Pains in your body that jump from place to place are demonic in nature. You must cast the demon out.

“The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat. You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give you. There I will meet with you, and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, all that I command you for the children of Israel.” (Exodus 25:20-22 WEB)

Hebrews 1:3 - This verse contains a picture of the Ark of the Covenant: His glory (gold without [outside]), His substance (gold within), His power (crown of gold), our sins (mercy seat).

“His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” (Hebrews 1:3 WEB)

We tend to judge others by their actions and judge ourselves by our intentions.
The court of Law does not judge by intentions, but by actions. It is cold and non-compassionate.

Genesis 3:24 - The Cherubim drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden after they sinned. 
They were the powerful agents who did God’s will.
The Cherubim with flaming swords are guardians of God’s glory and holiness. 

“So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.” (Genesis3:24 WEB)

Zechariah 13:7 - There is such a thing as the Law of Last Mention.
The last mention of “sword” in the Old Testament is in the book of Zechariah. 
There is no more sword of judgment to bar us from the tree of life. The sword is sheathed because of Jesus’ death at the cross.

““Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says Yahweh of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.” (Zechariah 13:7 WEB)

Nowhere in the New Testament does it say that God has to be reconciled to man. No, man is the one who has to be reconciled to God.
The enmity in not in God’s heart. It’s in man’s heart. 
Man is the one who believes that God is out to punish him. 
Jesus’ death did not make God in a good mood so that He would love us. 
No, God loved us even when we were still in our sins that He sent His only Son to die for our sins. 
Repentance towards God is nothing more than turning towards God.
Repentance is not about confessing individual sins because there are many sins that we are not cognizant of. 
We are forgiven according to the riches of God’s Grace, not according to the pauper-like individual confessions of our sins. 

Jesus’ shed blood makes God righteous in making us righteous. 
All the righteous demands of the Law are fully met by the blood of Jesus. 
We are perfectly righteous in God’s eyes today! 
It’s not about looking at whether you’re good or bad. It’s all about looking at Jesus’ blood shed for you.
There is no more condemnation or punishment for a believer. 

Only one time in history, somebody tried to remove the mercy seat at Beth Shemesh after they received the Ark of the Covenant back from the Philistines. Many of them died.
God doesn’t want anyone to look inside the Ark of the Covenant because you’re exposing everyone to the curse of the Law. The Law has to remain covered by the blood on the mercy seat. 
Today Jesus is our mercy seat and no one can move Him out of His place. 

I John 4:16 - It’s not enough just to know. We have to believe that God loves us. 
When God shuts a door it’s because He’s opened a big door.
He’s willing to let you be disappointed in order to prepare a bright future for you. 

“We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.” (1 John 4:16 WEB)

The prodigal son was poor because he didn’t believe that his father still loved him. 
His father had already forgiven him and his heart was to bless him. 
He didn’t know that everything the father had was already his. 

King David wanted to bless Jonathan’s offspring because of the covenant he made with Jonathan. 
Jonathan had a son called Mephibosheth.
As a young boy he was carried away to escape from David, although David wasn’t pursuing him. Mephibosheth fell and became crippled in the process of escaping. 
Many of us think that God is out to get us. But it’s not true.
Mephibosheth lived in Lo-Debar for many years (meaning “no pastures”). He lived in abject poverty and rejection, fearing and hating David. 
All the while David loved him and Mephibosheth had a place at the king’s table waiting for him. 
Believers need to believe that God loves them. 
When you come to God, don’t see yourself. See the blood of Jesus sprinkled on the mercy seat and that you’re perfectly righteous before God. 

Pastor Prince prayed with us for our Abba Father to fulfill our three prayer requests for 2019. 
He answers our requests because of the blood that Jesus shed for us and we are perfectly righteous before God. 

Closing Prayer:
Pastor Prince declared the blessings of Abraham, blessings of Deuteronomy 28, and the firstborn blessing upon us. He prayed that we wouldn’t be anxious, stressed, or fearful and that we will be filled with shalom peace. We will be protected from dangers, tragedies, accidents, sickness and disease. ​

Pinterest Pinnable Image. The words “atoning sacrifice/ propitiation” (in Greek: Hilasterion) means mercy seat. The mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant is beaten from one slab of gold. The main thing that the Ark housed was the two tablets of the Ten Commandments (The Law).

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!​​​
