28 January 2018 - The Love of God Revealed in the Lives of Mephibosheth and David - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineLet God have the time to work His miracles in a service. Don’t let your life, marriage, family, etc. become a vending machine - everything instantaneous, and in express mode. Don’t let professionalism take over every area of your life. Sometimes you have to take time to enjoy what the Lord has given you. The longest chapter in the Book of Genesis is Genesis 24 where Abraham sent an unnamed servant to find a bride for his beloved son Isaac. That unnamed servant represents the Holy Spirit. Right now, the Holy Spirit is working all over the world, preparing a beautiful bride for Jesus. The church is the beautiful bride of Christ. It is not a building. John 1:17 - You can send a gift from a distance, but when you “come” in person, it’s personal and near. Grace and truth are one. When you touch water, you touch wet. Don’t try to separate grace and truth - that’s trying to separate what God has put together. What God has put together, let no man tear asunder. In Hebrew, grace and truth are “hesed ve emet”. “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17 NKJV) Give room for wrath. Let God be your Avenger. Don’t try to do it yourself. The sermon on the mount can be summarized like this: God is unfairly good. To God, 1 plus 1 equals 1. A man and a woman in marriage becomes 1 flesh. God’s economy is different from the world. II Samuel 2:5-6 - The word “kindness” is hesed. The words “kindness and truth” are “hesed ve emet”. People have the idea that truth has a negative connotation, that it’s hard. The word truth doesn’t mean judgment. Hesed ve Emet just means true grace. “So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “You are blessed of the LORD, for you have shown this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him. And now may the LORD show kindness and truth to you. I also will repay you this kindness, because you have done this thing.” (II Samuel 2:5-6 NKJV) Genesis 15:7-21 - God works with covenant. The reason why everything is being shaken in the Middle East and especially Jerusalem, is because of covenant. When God cut a covenant with Abraham, He put Abraham to sleep. The blood of animals was everywhere because the animals were divided in two. The vultures that came down on the carcasses are demons - Jesus defined in a parable that the birds of the air that snatch away the seeds is the devil. God crossed to the other side while Abraham was sleeping. It represents how Jesus took our place and suffered to pay for our sins. While Abraham was sleeping, he saw in a vision that a Smoking Oven (a picture of God the Father appearing in a cloud of smoke on Mount Sinai) and a Burning Torch (Jesus the Light of the World) passed between the pieces. That represents God the Father and God the Son cutting the covenant on behalf of Abraham - Jesus taking Abraham’s place. That is because God didn’t want Abraham to be held accountable for it. “Then He said to him, “I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.” And he said, “Lord GOD, how shall I know that I will inherit it?” So He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces. On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”” (Genesis 15:7-21 NKJV) Teach your daughters that virginity is important because sex is a covenant act. The first time a woman has sex there is a shedding of blood - covenant. Sex is so beautiful that it’s deeper than just being physical - it’s spirit, soul and body.

10 Tips for Teaching Kids about Jesus: How Christian Parents can Raise God-Loving Children27/1/2018 10 Tips for Teaching Kids about Jesus: How Christian Parents can Raise God-Loving ChildrenIn this blog post, I will share 10 tips for teaching kids about Jesus and how you as a Christian parent can help your child to come to know and love Him. These tips are based on what we practice with our daughter and also what we plan to practice with her in the future as well. As I am writing this, our daughter Maeleth Sarah Goh is 23 months old, turning 2 next month! Reflecting on the past 2 years, I have made some parenting mistakes and also have had some parenting wins. However I feel that the most important thing I can do for my daughter is to help her know Jesus. I want to raise her in a Jesus-exalting environment, and let her start benefiting from the sweet life of having a covenant relationship with God from a young age. You see, I was not born into a Christian family. My parents believe in a diluted version of Taoism/Buddhism and I believe that because I was raised in such an environment since young, the devil had many opportunities to attack me and hold me back from enjoying the good life that Jesus died to give me. It was not until I turned 17 that I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior and found out all that I had been missing out on in life. My wife Amilee was also not born or raised in a Christian family and went through many setbacks and hardship in life too. We both feel that all that unnecessary hurt that she went through was because Jesus wasn't her Lord and Savior yet. Therefore, it is our deepest desire for Mae to receive Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior from as young an age as possible and grow to be a God-loving child. 5 Life Lessons and Moral Value in Maze Runner: The Death Cure Movie 2018 - Based on the Maze Runner Series by James DashnerLeading Cast of Maze Runner: The Death Cure Movie 2018 Dylan O'Brien as Thomas Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Newt Kaya Scodelario as Teresa Ki Hong Lee as Minho Will Poulter as Gally Giancarlo Esposito as Jorge Rosa Salazar as Brenda Patricia Clarkson as Chancellor Ava Paige Aidan Gillen as Director Janson (Rat Man) Barry Pepper as Vince 1) We don’t get to play God by deciding who deserves to live or die. Live with integrity and a clear conscience and you will... live long.I love that in this movie all the self-righteous characters like Teresa, Chancellor Paige, Director Janson and Lawrence who do wicked deeds suffer terrible deaths, whereas the innocent ones who don’t get involved in the violence and manipulation are the ones who survive and live in the safe haven in the end. A beautiful story of how good always triumphs over evil and that it’s better to do things the right way than to try and achieve a goal through underhand methods. 24 January 2018 - Encounter Night: The Lost World Out There Needs Grace - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes for Midweek ServicePastor Prince ministered in healing as led by the Holy Spirit. Lots of people received healing. Healing anointing is not limited by time or space. Receive your healing for whatever condition you have as you are reading this now in Jesus’ name! Believers will lay hands on the sick and they SHALL recover. It may not be immediate healing but they will recover for sure. Many times when you receive a healing miracle from God, you won’t feel anything supernatural. No heat, cold, electricity-feeling or anything. Divine healing doesn’t have to come with dramatic flair to be effective. Holiness is not the purchase price for your healing. Healing is a gift. Are you still sin-conscious? If you are, then you still haven’t received the grace of God. The one who is supposed to be satisfied by the payment is the one to whom the debt is owed. If God is satisfied by the payment that Jesus has given at the cross, then why aren’t you? One sacrifice for sins forever. One sacrifice for sickness forever. Healing is a gift - it is a grace. Word from Pastor Prince: There are a few of you that have been feeling dizzy lately during the day. It’s making you feeling like you’re getting old and getting some sort of serious sickness. It’s an attack from an evil spirit. Stand up where you are and receive deliverance from it by faith in Jesus’ name. 21 January 2018 - How to Receive the Spirit of Wisdom from God - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineWhen you feel like God is giving you words in your heart for others, speak it out and let them know. That’s how you flow in the prophetic gift. Our young children can flow in the prophetic gift too. In the Bible, if there’s a listing, more often than not, Wisdom is the first thing mentioned. The gift of the word of wisdom is the first spiritual gift of the Holy Spirit mentioned. Wisdom is the first thing mentioned of what Christ is to us. The Bible is God breathed. The Bible contains lies as well which are faithfully recorded - Example: the lie that Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden. Job is the oldest book in the Bible. Moses compiled Genesis and Exodus. Job 26:7 - God knows how the world is made. The Book of Job says this very clearly: the earth hangs upon nothing. “He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.” (Job 26:7 NKJV) Job 25:5 - The moon doesn’t shine. It reflects light. “If even the moon does not shine, And the stars are not pure in His sight,” (Job 25:5 NKJV) Leviticus 17:11 - The life of the flesh is in the blood. Only the life of Jesus in His blood can wash away our sins. It is the blood of God Himself! “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’” (Leviticus 17:11 NKJV) Many people believe in the Big Bang Theory. It takes more faith to believe in that, that order came out of nowhere. In this world everything entropies - Example: a hot coffee gets cold after leaving it out in a room. Evolution is false - Everything on this earth doesn’t get from lower to higher. It seems like the earth is folding up and getting old. Three levels of reading God’s word: 1) The letter of the word (Outer Court) , 2) The meaning of the word (The Holy Place), 3) The unveiling of Jesus in the word. (Holy of Holies) Deuteronomy 30:3 - This was a prophetic word back then when it was written. This is the 5708th verse in the Torah. On that year in the Hebrew calendar, Israel came back as a nation. “that the LORD your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the LORD your God has scattered you.” (Deuteronomy 30:3 NKJV) 10 Kids Photography Tips to Help you Take Cool Instagram Photos of your Child
