30 August 2015 - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Receive 120% Restoration From God for All Your Losses!God has the same nature now and forever, but God changes His methods and ways of doing things. If Israel had received Jesus as their Messiah when He was on earth, Israel would have been ushered into paradise on earth. But alas, they rejected Him. The devil hates Israel because Israel is God's chosen nation. Israel was planned by God to be a good advertisement to testify of Him. But if they did not keep His statutes and commandments, they would become a bad advertisement to prove that there is a God. God loves us but we must also allow ourselves to be loved by God. Romans 5:19 - We are sinners because of one man's sin - Adam. We are righteous not by our works, but because of one Man's obedience - Jesus. "For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous." (Romans 5:19 NKJV) For members of New Creation Church, this is the Year of His Restoration. Restoration can happen in such a way that we don't even recognise that it is restoration. Jude 1:21 - We must keep ourselves in the love of God. Step into the sunlight of God's love. Believe that God loves you by faith. "keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." (Jude 1:21 NKJV) The devil will always try to make you feel insignificant, like you're just a face in the crowd. God cares about everything in your life, no matter how big or small. Even as a believer, never think that you are beyond sin. But in God's eyes, you are still righteous in Christ when you fail. Never judge your standing by your state. Our state changes, but our righteous standing in Christ never changes. Bitterness is like preparing poison for somebody else to drink, but you drink it yourself instead.

16 August 2015 - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Unlock Redemption's Blessings In Your LifeWhen you believe right you will live right. When the Lord speaks, it's simple but powerful. God's grace is heaven's best for man's worst. The value of something is worth how much someone is willing to pay for it. God sees us as worth the price of His Son. Only the blood of Jesus can redeem your soul. Ephesians 1:7-8 - As believers, we HAVE redemption and we HAVE forgiveness already, right now. It is in the present-active tense. We are forgiven not out of, but ACCORDING TO the riches of His grace. God gave us His forgiveness in His wisdom and prudence! God's forgiveness has a powerful, sanctifying effect in our lives. "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence," (Ephesians 1:7-8 NKJV) The world is not trying to find a way into sin, they are trying to find a way out. Even if they are enjoying themselves in their sin, they are feeling guilty. A preacher can't stand in the pulpit if he hates people. If a person has cancer, we hate the cancer, not the person. Likewise, we must hate the sin, not the person. When you are born-again, you are born-again FOREVER, and you're enjoying eternal life - you will never be thrown into hell. Jesus used many titles to refer to Himself, but the one He used the most is the phrase "Son of man", because He wants us and the devil to know that He has come to be our Kinsman-Redeemer. Leviticus 25:25 - God created man to be wealthy. God crowned (To crown in Hebrew is "atar" - A surrounding clothing) man with glory and honor. Adam forfeited all his wealth and glory by sinning against God. Redeem in Hebrew is "Goel". To redeem means "to buy back". The one who redeems is called a redeemer. Kinsman-redeemer means "a relative who can redeem". A kinsman-redeemer has to be wealthy, able, and willing. Jesus came to earth as a Man because He had to be human, our relative, in order to be our Kinsman-Redeemer. Jesus chose to become our Relative! "‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and if his redeeming relative comes to redeem it, then he may redeem what his brother sold." (Leviticus 25:25 NKJV) Even if a non-believer is financially rich, he is still a poor man who has a lot of money. God did not have no choice but to send Jesus to be our sacrifice for our sins. God has the choice to wipe us out if He wants to. He did not do that, because He loves us. II Corinthians 8:9 - Jesus is rich! "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich." (II Corinthians 8:9 NKJV) Proverbs 23:11 - Jesus is willing to redeem us. "For their Redeemer is mighty; He will plead their cause against you." (Proverbs 23:11 NKJV) Hebrews 7:25 - Jesus is able to redeem us. "Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." (Hebrews 7:25 NKJV) 23 August 2015 - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Reign in Life through Sexual Purity!
The gospel is all about God's goodness. Man in the flesh cannot receive the goodness of God. That's why they can't receive the grace of God. Man in his flesh only has hard thoughts about God. The number one way that the devil makes man leave God's love is by making them think that God is not that good, and that restrictions placed by God is to withhold something good from man. The goodness of God leads us to repentance. Matthew 7:21-23 - This is talking about people who are not saved, who never put their trust in Jesus. "in that day" represents the day where Jesus returns to earth as judge in His second coming. In that day, unbelievers will finally see that Jesus is God and in their panic they will call Him Lord, but they will be too late. "“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’" (Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV) Jesus came to earth to give His life as a Lamb, but He is returning as a Lion to exact vengeance upon the antichrist and judge the unbelieving world. God never made a democracy, He made a theocracy. Everything in the universe obeys God except for man. God is not out to kill people - He is out to save people. John 6:40 - To do the will of the Father means for everyone who sees Jesus to believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior. "And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”" (John 6:40 NKJV) I Corinthians 15:10 - It is possible for God's grace towards you to be in vain. He won't force you to act upon that grace that you have received. When you have the grace gift from God, you will have a desire to minister in that area. If the calling and grace is there and you step into it, the grace will start working. For employers, access the employees for promotions, increments and bonuses based on their works. Their results produced will show how much grace they stepped into. Their performance reflects how much grace they are using in their life. "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." (I Corinthians 15:10 NKJV) "Length of days" doesn't mean "long life", but it means how many things you can accomplish or complete in a day. Don't confound holiness with righteousness. Holiness means "set apart". The opposite of holiness is "commonness".

John 1:17 - Things can be given from a distance, but came is close and personal. "For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." (John 1:17 NKJV) In the first miracle of Moses, he turned the water into blood, leading to death. Under grace, in the first miracle of Jesus, He turned water into wine, leading to celebration! You cannot mix Law and grace. You cannot put new wine into old wine skins because you will lose both. Under the Law, God will visit your sins even in your future generations. Under grace, God has forgiven us and remembers our sins no more! Jesus brought the Law to its pristine standard, whereas the Pharisees brought it to a manageable standard. Jesus showed the pristine standard of the Law to bring man to the end of himself, so that he would recognise his need for a Savior. Jesus touched the leper and made him clean. Under Law, the unclean would make the clean, unclean. Under Grace, the clean makes the unclean, clean! Romans 6:14 - When you are not under Law, sin shall not have dominion over you! You can't be under grace and not be holy. "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." (Romans 6:14 NKJV) Under Law, you have to repent first before God blesses you. Under grace, God blesses you first and His goodness leads you to repentance. The Greek word for repentance is "metanoia" which means "change of mind". II Corinthians 3:9 - The ministry of righteousness exceeds MUCH MORE in glory. "For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory." (II Corinthians 3:9 NKJV) The journey of the children of Israel from Egypt to Mount Sinai is a period of God's pure grace. Although they murmured and complained, no one died. Exodus 19:8-13 - Man presumed on his own strength to obey God and receive His blessings. From this moment forth, God changed His tone. The children of Israel should never have changed covenants. The Law condemns the best of us, whereas Grace saves the worst of us. "Then all the people answered together and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the people to the LORD. And the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.” So Moses told the words of the people to the LORD. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death. Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.”" (Exodus 19:8-13 NKJV) II Corinthians 3:7 - God calls the Ten Commandments the ministry of death. The only ministry engraved on stones is the Ten Commandments. On the Day of Pentecost when God gave the Law, 3000 people died. When the Holy Spirit came on the Day of Pentecost, Peter preached and 3000 people were saved. "who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away," (II Corinthians 3:6-7 NKJV)
