19 Apr 2020 - Why the Church Lost Her Good Fortune - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon Notes

Whenever you try to keep the Law of Moses, you have fallen from Grace and Christ becomes of no effect unto you. The church has to awaken to the Pauline Revelation of God's Grace. Under the New Covenant, God remembers our sins no more and supplies our every need through Jesus' finished work at the cross. 

Praise and Worship Songs Performed:
1. Unmerited Favor - New Creation Worship
2. Wonderful (Grace Made Real) - New Creation Worship

In the Book of Revelation, Jesus revealed a different aspect of Himself to each of the seven churches in Asia Minor.
Every local church needs to receive a revelation of Jesus Christ each week.

Mark 14:14-15 - On the seventh day of creation, God rested because He ceased from His work of creation.
God wants man to enjoy the finished work that He has already prepared for him.
The second story is the large upper room. A place where Jesus shared rich church truths which were mysteries hidden since the foundation of the world.
The church is the most powerful organization in existence. It is eternal.
The church is Jesus’ bride. Jesus rejoices over us like a Bridegroom rejoices over His bride. He never gets bored of us.

“and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”” (Mark‬ ‭14:14-15‬ ‭WEB‬)

Mount Sinai is where God have the Law. Mount Zion is where Jesus gave church truths.

When Jesus said that He is the Vine, He’s not saying that He’s like a tree trunk. A vine has branches too.
In other words, you are one with Jesus, and He is one with you.
How can the vine be healthy and the branch be sick? It’s not possible.
The only way you stop the sap in the vine from flowing to the branch, is when you tighten the branch.
Rest and let go, and that vine life from Jesus will enter your life.

The Law is about doing this or doing that, but Grace is about relationship with Jesus.

One of the church truths that Jesus shared in the upper room is that we will receive the Holy Spirit who is our Parakletos (Helper) who guides us into all truth.

Mount Zion is a place of elevation in Jerusalem, and when Jesus prayed His High Priestly prayer, it’s as if He was already ascended and praying for us as our Great High Priest.

The Rapture is not the same as the Second Coming of Christ.
We are looking forward to Jesus’ return—not the appearance of the Antichrist.
The Second Coming is when Jesus returns to save Israel and it is a day of vengeance against the Antichrist and the wicked rulers of the world.

In the upper room, we see the grain and the wine when Jesus instituted the Holy Communion/ Lord’s Supper.
The bread is broken for you. It is for your benefit—health and healing.

In the Old Covenant, if anyone sins, God will visit their sins to the third and fourth generations.

In the New Covenant of Grace, God promises never to remember our sins anymore. That’s the main clause of the New Covenant.

Under Grace there are dealings and ‘child trainings’, but God doesn’t discipline us with sickness or car accidents. He trains us through His word or through allowing us to go through frustrating situations so that we will turn to Him.

In the New Covenant, God says that He will be our God. In other words, He is everything that we need.
He is our Healer, Provider and Defender.

God tells us His will and purposes in our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit guides us from within. We know Him intuitively.
We have this privilege because He remembers our sins no more.
The more we believe that we are forgiven of much, the more we will love God.

The Lord’s Supper is not something antiquated that we have to move on from. No, the grain and wine is always with us. Partake of the Lord’s Supper regularly with a fresh revelation, like Jesus was just freshly slain for you just now.

When you proclaim the Lord’s death through the Lord’s Supper, God’s power goes to work for you in your life.

Pray for your nation’s leaders to stay healthy and have more wisdom added to them to make good decisions for the nation.

Whenever you try to keep the Law of Moses, you have fallen from Grace and Christ becomes of no effect unto you. The church has to awaken to the Pauline Revelation of God's Grace.

The Church Must Embrace the Revelations Taught by the Apostle Paul

There is a winding staircase connecting the three floors in the side chamber of the Temple of Solomon.
The truth of the winding stairs is that you gain the maximum height, in the shortest amount of time.
In Psalm 23, in the verse that says “He leads me in the paths of righteousness”, the word “paths” in Hebrew actually has the meaning of circle.
Shepherds bring their flock of sheep to climb a mountain by taking a circular path that winds around it so that the sheep can handle the long journey. They don’t feel like they are traveling far (as compared to a linear path), but they are actually going higher.
Sometimes in life you feel like you’re going in a circle, but you’re actually ascending higher.

Don’t worry about the future and about when this pandemic will end. Live one day at a time. You only have enough grace for today. Live in the present. Enjoy your family.

The COVID-19 virus is not from God. However, He can use anything from the devil to turn it around for our good.

We need to learn to close the book where Jesus closed the book in the Synagogue in Nazareth.
Meaning, we don’t preach that God is judging mankind now, because the truth is that the Day of Vengeance is not here yet.

The side chamber of the Temple of Solomon becomes broader as you go up each floor.
5 cubits, 6 cubits, then 7 cubits.
God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt (in Hebrew: Mitzraim which means double stress).
He brought them out of a narrow place, to a broad place.

Acts 20:7-12 - The first day of the week is Sunday, or also called “The Lord’s Day”. It is also known as the 8th day. 8 has a meaning of new beginnings.
The are three heavens: the atmospheric heaven of the earth, the second heaven where evil principalities and powers operate from, and the third heaven which is the realm of God.
Paul’s letters are written directly to us. Not the whole Bible is written directly to us. Some parts are written for our learning, but not directly to us.
We need to study Paul’s letters, because it’s for the church.
Love language between a couple is not about you giving what you like to the other person.
It’s about knowing what the other person likes.
The Lord’s Supper is God’s chosen love language. It delights His heart when we remember Jesus through partaking of it.
Eutychus fell from the third floor.
The third floor reminds us of the third floor in the side chamber of the Temple of Solomon.
The upper room is also the place of the Holy Spirit. On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples there.
In the midnight seasons of your life, just take one step at a time. Don’t stress about the future.
The Greek word “eulogy” means “blessing”. The name Eutychus means good fortune.
Eutychus is a picture of the some believers. The church lost its good fortune (Eutychus) because she has fallen asleep in terms of Pauline revelation.
We need to have a revelation of the gift of righteousness. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
The mystery of the church is not hidden from us anymore. It was hidden in the past, but is now revealed in the New Testament.
Eutychus fell from the third floor which represents Grace. Grace is higher than the Law.
When you go back to trying to keep the Law, you have fallen from the higher place which is Grace.
In Beth Shemesh, the people tried to look inside the Ark of the Covenant and as a result, many people died.
Whenever you try to bring the Law back, the result is death.
Eutychus was a young man. The young people in the church are our good fortune. We need to embrace them like Paul did.
Light is no use to those who are dead.
An abundance of Pauline revelation will raise those who are dead back to life.
Eutychus fell from the third floor because he was sitting in a dangerous position—by the window.
He had a ‘channel surfing’ attitude towards the message, not a full commitment and attentiveness to it.
Today there still believers like him who hop from church to church, not really paying attention to the message, not being planted firmly anywhere.
We need to continue partaking of the Lord’s Supper and continue receiving Pauline revelation until daybreak.
Daybreak is coming—our Lord Jesus is returning for us!

“On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and continued his speech until midnight. There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together. A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor, and was taken up dead. Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.” When he had gone up, and had broken bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed. They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.” (Acts‬ ‭20:7-12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Exodus 10:23 - Even just a little flicker of light becomes very obvious in deep darkness. We will shine brighter in these dark end times.

“They didn’t see one another, and nobody rose from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.” (Exodus‬ ‭10:23‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Galatians 5:4 - Christ becomes of no effect to you when you put your trust back in the Law.
Healing is a grace, provision is a grace, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are grace gifts.
If you fall from Grace, all these things stop.

“Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.” (Galatians‬ ‭5:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

We need to receive the Pauline revelation. At Mount Sinai, 3000 died when the Law was given.
At Mount Zion, 3000 were saved when the Holy Spirit was given.
The letter kills but the Spirit gives life.

Jesus went about Galilee (which means circuit), doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.
Picture Jesus going around in a circle, and yet going higher.
We will ascend higher by the winding stairs, one step at a time.

God will provide for you. You are not going back to where you came from. Even more will be added to you.

John‬ ‭17:6-12‬ - All the titles of God in the Old Testament find their highest fulfillment in the name “Father” (Abba), which Jesus came to reveal.
When we call Him Father, we will sense His love.
The more you call Him Father, you come under His protection.

“I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word. Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you, for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.” (John‬ ‭17:6-12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The Book of Revelation says that there will be 144,000 Jewish evangelists who will be preaching the Gospel during the Tribulation.
They will not be harmed by the Antichrist because they have a seal of protection on their foreheads.
The name “Father” will be on their foreheads.
In the Book of Ezekiel, those who had faith in God were marked with a “Tav” Hebrew letter on their foreheads which is a picture of the cross.
This seal protected them from the judgment upon Jerusalem.
We will not be going through the Tribulation—we will be watching from Heaven.

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

"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."

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
