30 September 2018 - Keys to Health and Provision through Faith - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPraise and Worship songs performed:
Believers overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus) and by the word of His testimony. Sharing a testimony of what Jesus has done for us has power to overcome the enemy. It all traces back to what Jesus did for us at the cross! Jesus was made poor at the cross so that we can be rich. The context is clear that it’s about material riches. God wants you rich and abundantly supplied. He doesn’t want you to be struggling. Provision is paid for by what Jesus did at the cross. Our sowing is not a debt we owe. It’s a seed we sow. Tithing is for rich people (all believers) who want to acknowledge the Source of their blessings. If you’re a believer, you’re rich whether you know it, experience it, or not. Conquering a land and possessing a land are two different things. Joshua conquered the land of Canaan but didn’t fully possess the land. There are many enemies sitting in the squatters of the land that is meant to be ours. There is much land that’s yet to be possessed. We possess it by having an excellent spirit of faith like Caleb had. Possessing your possessions can be progressive. We don’t have to worry about when the manifestation will happen. Just keep believing and persevering in faith. We will soon see thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and eventually hundredfold manifestation. Luke 4:24-30 - Jesus is a Man who succeeded out of Nazareth, the small town that He was born in. People despised His humble background of being a carpenter’s son. God can use you, no matter what’s your background. In fact, the darker your background, the more glorious it will be when God uses you - all to His glory. If you say your life is messed up, then good - you are material for God’s Grace. Not many rich and powerful people in the world are used by God to become believers for His glory because they have a tendency to trust in their own strength, connections and qualifications. Sidon was a big and bustling city that belonged to the Gentiles. It’s not part of Israel. Miracle of provision - The widow of Zarephath was not even a Jew. She was a Gentile. Through prophet Elijah, she received supernatural multiplication of oil. Oil was an important necessity. Pastor Prince recommends us to cook with olive oil because it’s healthy. There were many widows in Israel but Elijah was not sent to any of them. There were many lepers in Israel but none of them were healed except for Naaman the Syrian who was a Gentile. The prophet Elisha asked Naaman to dip himself in the river Jordan seven times and his skin (flesh) was completely restored and smooth like a baby. We can receive this youth restoration too! When Jesus healed the leper, it was the first time that it ever happened in Israel. Under grace, when the clean touches the unclean, the unclean becomes clean. Despite the huge crowd pushing Jesus to the edge of the cliff like a hoard of zombies, Jesus just cooly walking right though the midst of them. He is the One who parted the Red Sea. Grace is like that. If you don’t want it, it will just move on to someone else who wants it. It will not force its blessings onto you. Jesus with all His anointing was present to heal them and provide for them, but the people of Nazareth missed it. “He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land. Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.” They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things. They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff. But he, passing through the middle of them, went his way.” (Luke 4:24-30 WEB) Faith will cause us to possess our possessions and make real what has already been given to us in Christ. Luke 4:16-23 - Pastor Prince doesn’t preach much about the Second Coming of Christ and the Day of Vengeance because it’s not time for that yet. Now we are in the dispensation of Grace - the acceptable year of the Lord. When you are anointed, all eyes are fastened on you. “He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”” (Luke 4:16-23 WEB)

Should Believers watch Horror Movies for Fun? Hi dear reader, the Bible teaches us as believers to abstain from every form of evil - no exceptions! I’m so thankful that we are not alone in this, but as the passage of the day says, it is the God of Peace who sanctifies us and helps to keep us separated from evil things. Under the New Covenant, God supplies us with the desire and the grace to live a holy (set apart) life for Him! I used to really enjoy watching horror movies in recent years after I got over the fear of them through a cool mental trick that I believe God gave me as a form of practical wisdom. However just this week, I received the revelation that I have to abstain from horror movies too because it is definitely evil. 
I received the revelation that I have to abstain from horror movies too because it is definitely evil. I don’t have the fear of horror movies anymore, but I just don’t want to give the devil any legal loopholes to attack my family just for the sake of getting some meaningless entertainment.

The Grace Revolution is happening all over the world. It’s not something new - it’s something being restored to the church. The gospel is our bread and drink which gives us life. It’s not just a tool to get people saved by. The gospel of grace was first given to the Apostle Paul. It wasn’t given to Pastor Prince, he just rediscovered it. If you believe in anything other than the gospel of grace, you are believing in an anti-Christ doctrine. The spirit of antichrist is working in the church to remove Jesus from the centrality of the church. Jesus is the Bread and the Life, the Alpha and Omega - He is Everything and He is the greatest Gift that God has given to us. If God spared not His own Son, how will He not with Him freely give us all other things? If God holds back provision or healing from you, it’s like God saying that provision and healing are more precious than Jesus. No, when God gave us Jesus, He already gave us provision and healing. At the baptism of Jesus, the heavens opened to Jesus. Today when Jesus is preached, the heavens open to Him. You will never know how much God loves you until you know how much God loves Jesus. It’s important to study the names and titles of Jesus. By knowing Him, we know our place. The greatest knowledge is to know God the Father and Jesus Christ whom the Father has sent. At the cross, all the consequences of sin were placed upon Jesus’ body. When we believe in Jesus, all the consequences of righteousness come upon us as well. Jesus did not deserve the consequences of our sins, and likewise we don’t deserve the consequences of the righteousness that we have received - it is by God’s grace. 16 September 2018 - Surround your Problems to Possess your Inheritance - Pastor Lim Lian Neo Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPraise and Worship songs performed: (I missed other songs before this)
Joshua 6:2 - Giving into your hand is not the same as possessing something. Joshua had to go in to possess Jericho. “And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” (Joshua 6:2 NKJV) Joshua 5:2 - Why is circumcision the key to possessing Jericho? To know, we must look at the first mention of circumcision. “At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.”” (Joshua 5:2 NKJV) Genesis 12:1-2, 4 - Abram at 75 years old was promised the land and a great nation. Just like Joshua, the land was given into his hand. “Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing... So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.” (Genesis 12:1-2, 4 NKJV) Genesis 17:9-11 - Abram was 99 years old here. Before Abram started to see the manifestation of the promises that God made to him when he was 75, God introduced the sign of circumcision. “And God said to Abraham: “As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.” (Genesis 17:9-11 NKJV) The Book of Life, Books of Remembrance and How God Predestined us for Salvation“And I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them [for this heaven and earth are passing away]. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the Book of Life; and the dead were judged according to what they had done as written in the books [that is, everything done while on earth]. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and Hades (the realm of the dead) surrendered the dead who were in them; and they were judged and sentenced, every one according to their deeds. Then death and Hades [the realm of the dead] were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire [the eternal separation from God]. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15 AMP) Hi dear reader, the passage above teaches us that there are at least two types of books about us that God has in heaven: Books of Remembrance which records the deeds of every person, and the Book of Life which records the names of every person who will have eternal life. Additionally, we learn that the only criteria for someone to be thrown into the lake of fire is that his name is not in the Book of Life. These two types of books are written at different points in time. 7 Biblical Ways to Know your Calling in LifeOverview:
Hi dear reader, I believe that somewhere along your walk with the Lord, one question you’ll have is “What is my calling/purpose in life?”. God’s word teaches us that there are ways to find out! The answer I received is that my calling is to write anointed content for the Lord. 9 September 2018 - Possess your Mountain of Inheritance - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPraise and Worship songs performed:
Home and church should be places where you can love one another without hidden motives of earning a profit. These places should be a place of hope, refuge - an oasis of love. When you husband comes home from work, tell him “You’re a special man, truly a man to me”. When he thinks about you and compares you with other women, he will think “Yes this other woman may have an attractive outer shell, but can she say such lovely things like my wife?” You will become more attractive to your husband. He needs your encouragement too. Pastor Prince briefly mentioned about the following (which I took from Wikipedia): "Pardes" refers to (types of) approaches to biblical exegesis in rabbinic Judaism or to interpretation of text in Torah study. The term, sometimes also spelled PaRDeS, is an acronym formed from the same initials of the following four approaches: ▪ Peshat (פְּשָׁט) – "surface" ("straight") or the literal (direct) meaning. ▪Remez (רֶמֶז) – "hints" or the deep (allegoric: hidden or symbolic) meaning beyond just the literal sense. ▪Derash (דְּרַשׁ) – from Hebrew darash: "inquire" ("seek") – the comparative (midrashic) meaning, as given through similar occurrences. ▪Sod (סוֹד) (pronounced with a long O as in 'lore') – "secret" ("mystery") or the esoteric/mystical meaning, as given through inspiration or revelation. During Moses and Joshua’s time, a guilty person would be killed as an example to the others, to keep the others from sinning. However today the body of Christ doesn’t do that. We operate by the principle of grace. Don’t go to court immediately which is to seek the ways of the world. Go to wise men in the church first for godly counsel. There is victory and safety in a multitude of counselors. You find them in the house of God. Individually Jesus has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us. So why does He say “Where two or three are gathered in My name, there I am in the midst”? It is because there is a special corporate anointing when believers are gathered together. In His grace, this anointing is present with just the smallest plurality - two. Galatians 4:1-7 - Many people see God as an authority figure who wants to arrest them for a crime. They flee from God even though God wants to bless them. It’s sad because there’s so much land that’s yet to be possessed. The church is not fully possessing their possessions. The servant can drive his master’s car, but the son who is still a little child cannot drive his father’s car yet. The word “child” in the passage is “Nepios” in Greek that means “a little, infant child”. The Jews have a ritual called “Bar Mitzvah” where a child goes through it and is seen as an adult after that. The Ten Commandments are the “ABCs” of Israel, not something deep or advanced. When we become born-again believers, we are immediately made sons of God. You can figuratively “drive your father’s car”. Jesus came to reveal this name of God: “Father”. The Lord’s prayer is not a New Covenant prayer. After that in the upper room, Jesus said to His disciples “up till now you have asked nothing in My name”. What does that mean? He’s obviously talking about a different kind of prayer. You can’t get New Covenant blessings with an Old Covenant slavish mentality. Believers are our family. We forgive each other because we are family. The devil doesn’t want you to learn about sonship because it’s about inheritance - he wants to continue controlling the earth. There are two types of believers: Abraham and Lot. Both Abraham and Lot are righteous by faith. But one was victorious and another was defeated. When the fires came, everything that Lot had was destroyed. Whereas Abraham was high up on a safe place, and enjoyed fellowship with God. Lot lost his wife, and in a sense his two daughters - they thought the world was ending so they slept with him to have children. Lot was a believer who was deeply steeped in worldly things. We shouldn’t touch such things. Don’t let your children watch or read Harry Potter things and other New Age things. They promise power but they are all empty and evil. Don’t bring the devil’s things into your house. Not even porn - it brings strife, disharmony, chaos. You will think that it’s your spouse but it’s actually you who is the source of the evil entering your house. Believers can’t be possessed but they can be oppressed. “Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” (Galatians 4:1-7 NKJV) Social Media Tips for Believers: How to Become a Voice of Wisdom and Grace in Today’s Online World1/9/2018 Social Media Tips for Believers: How to Become a Voice of Wisdom and Grace in Today’s Online World
God is inviting the world to receive wisdom for their own good. It’s a proclamation made out of love. Let us represent the One whom we serve correctly by extending love and grace to everyone, both online and offline.

Do not correct a scoffer [who foolishly ridicules and takes no responsibility for his error] or he will hate you; Correct a wise man [who learns from his error], and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man and he will become even wiser; Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.” (PROVERBS 9:7-9 AMP) Find a Christian-related post on social media with lots of engagement and you’re likely to find negative comments from people that the Bible calls “scoffers”. God’s word teaches us that the wise thing to do when seeing these comments is not to try to convince them, because you can’t. You’ll just get insulted and become angry. “Surely the churning of milk produces butter, And wringing the nose produces blood; So the churning of anger produces strife.” (PROVERBS 30:33 AMP) The anger, if unrestrained, will lead to strife: “The beginning of strife is like letting out water [as from a small break in a dam; first it trickles and then it gushes]; Therefore abandon the quarrel before it breaks out and tempers explode.” (PROVERBS 17:14 AMP) Soon a full-out war of words erupts and both parties start to insult each other. In the end, God is not glorified, and unbelievers who read the exchange mock Christians for this public display of foolishness. Jesus spoke these wise words: ““Do not give that which is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, for they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” (MATTHEW 7:6 AMP) Correction and instruction are to be reserved for wise people who are teachable and want to learn from their mistakes. They can see the value of your words and your good intentions. When you follow God’s wisdom regarding this, you are the one reaping the benefits: “If you are wise, you are wise for yourself [for your own benefit]; If you scoff [thoughtlessly ridicule and disdain], you alone will pay the penalty.” (PROVERBS 9:12 AMP) The Internet is filled with two types of opposing voices: God’s voice (anointed sermons, articles, online Bibles, Bible-based social media posts) and the voice of the world (everything sinful which is influenced and instigated by the devil and his demons). Just like how Wisdom (representing Jesus) calls out to the naive and inexperienced: “Wisdom has built her [spacious and sufficient] house; She has hewn out and set up her seven pillars. She has prepared her food, she has mixed her wine; She has also set her table. She has sent out her maidens, she calls From the highest places of the city: “Whoever is naive or inexperienced, let him turn in here!” As for him who lacks understanding, she says,” (PROVERBS 9:1-4 AMP) And the foolish woman (representing the world) also calls out to the same naive and inexperienced people: “The foolish woman is restless and noisy; She is naive and easily misled and thoughtless, and knows nothing at all [of eternal value]. She sits at the doorway of her house, On a seat by the high and conspicuous places of the city, Calling to those who pass by, Who are making their paths straight: “Whoever is naive or inexperienced, let him turn in here!” And to him who lacks understanding (common sense), she says,” (PROVERBS 9:13-16 AMP) With these two voices calling out for our attention, sooner or later we will go into the house of one of them - either to enjoy increased blessings, or end up suffering the natural consequences of sin. If someone walks past Wisdom’s house, they will likely go into the foolish woman’s house. As Christians, we should collectively use our online presence and reach to help amplify God’s voice and drown out the world’s voice, like Wisdom’s maidens. While calling out, the words we use are also important. There is no point in shouting loudly in the streets (by posting frequently) but using words that don’t glorify God or help His agenda: “Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak].” (EPHESIANS 4:29 AMP) Make it a principle to follow: Only post what is good for building others up and to be a blessing. That means no judging, criticism, condemnation which is being a hypocrite as Jesus pointed out: ““ Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly]. For just as you [hypocritically] judge others [when you are sinful and unrepentant], so will you be judged; and in accordance with your standard of measure [used to pass out judgment], judgment will be measured to you. Why do you look at the [insignificant] speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice and acknowledge the [egregious] log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me get the speck out of your eye,’ when there is a log in your own eye? You hypocrite (play-actor, pretender), first get the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.” (MATTHEW 7:1-5 AMP) As Christians, our role is simply to invite the naive and inexperienced to enter our Mistress’s house to learn the ways of God and enjoy the blessings, not to wage cyber warfare on them. God is inviting the world to receive wisdom for their own good. It’s a proclamation made out of love. Let us represent the One whom we serve correctly by extending love and grace to everyone, both online and offline. 2 September 2018 - Welcome to the Inn - Pastor Judah Smith Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Guest Speaker Sermon Notes
In this message, Pastor Judah Smith taught us about the true meaning about Jesus' Parable of the Good Samaritan.
Praise and Worship songs performed:
Luke 10:25-37 - The lawyer knew that he could not be earn eternal life by himself so he asked Jesus for the definition of a neighbor, hoping that there might be some loophole to make it possible. You don’t have to look for a neighbor - be a neighbor. Jesus is a very good storyteller. He uses cultural context in His parables to make them relatable to the listeners. Jesus does not waste words. Everything that was said is crucial. The Jews had nothing to do with Samaritans back then. They looked down on them - it was racism and prejudice. They didn’t believe that Samaritans were capable of such compassion that was shown in the parable. Therefore Jesus’ parable was extremely controversial at that time. Jesus was bringing the listeners to the end of themselves. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus elevated God’s standards to higher than man can ever reach, to bring man to the end of himself. Jesus wants the listeners to say “I can’t”, so that He can say “I can and I will”. Like the “certain man” in this parable, we are travelers (sojourners) on this earth. We don’t belong to this earth - we are just passing through. Life is not about chasing goals in order to be happy. When you reach your goal, you will find that it doesn’t fulfill you and the cycle just perpetuates again. The priest who passed by and didn’t help represents the Law. The Law will not help you to meet its demands. The levite represents a distinguished person. Our good works and accomplishments cannot save us either. The Good Samaritan is a picture of Jesus. Like the samaritans, Jesus was rejected by His own people. God comes close to you. He doesn’t withdraw from you. Like how the samaritan put the injured man on his animal, we have traded places with Jesus. At the cross, Jesus received our sins and we received His righteousness so that today we can be the righteousness of God in Christ. Like how the samaritan said “when I come again”, Jesus is coming back again. The innkeeper represents believers like you and I. We will be repaid by Jesus when He comes back. Travelers (unbelievers) are hurting from the elements of this world. There is an inn to give them refuge. The inn represents the church. These inns used to be located near to these dangerous highways. God wants to be near the broken and hurting people in the world. We worship passionately in church today because we were broken like Humpty Dumpty, and Jesus put all our broken pieces back together. May we stay close to the pain of the people who have yet to feel the refuge and comfort of the inn. “Take care of him” - our Heavenly Father desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. May we be willing to spend all our resources to love and comfort all the hurting people around the world. Jesus will repay us. “And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it? ” So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ” And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.” But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?” And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”” (Luke 10:25-37 NKJV) The Bible is a story and the main character is Jesus. Sometimes it’s possible to be reading the Bible and not realize that the main point is Jesus. It’s simple: The answer is always Jesus. Instead of reading the Bible and seeing Jesus, we tend to make it about us and our performance. Wherever you are at in the Bible, read it to look for Jesus. Prophetic word from Pastor Judah Smith: We (New Creation Church) have seen blessing, but what is coming ahead is blessing that will blow us away. Overcome your Fear of the Dark with this TruthIf you enjoy reading this devotional, there's many others that i've written exclusively for patrons who support our ministry. You can receive rewards to grow in your faith and revelation like exclusive content, devotionals, eBooks and more by joining us a patron on Patreon. I think we’ve all been there: staring into a dark room or space and imagining frightful apparitions there. It’s our minds playing tricks on us. A result of all the scary things we’ve ever seen in life. My mind’s favorite imagination: a ghostly lady with long black hair, wearing a flowy white gown and floating outside the window. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you - I’m just sharing how crazy the mind can get when imagining things. To set things straight, there’s no such thing as ghosts. The Bible doesn’t say that the spirits of the dead can return to earth to haunt humans who are alive on earth. However, there are evil spirits also called “demons” who are on earth - those are real. Contrary to a popular misconception, no, they are not in hell. Only those fallen angels who committed the sin of interbreeding with the human females (read about it in Genesis 6) are being tormented in hell: “And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” (Jude 1:6-7 NKJV) “For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;” (2 Peter 2:4 NIV) In the verse above, the word “hell” translated in Greek is “Tartarus” which is believed to be the lowest pit of hell which the worse offenders get sent to. Apparently the suffering there is the most painful! Even the devil is not in hell and has never been to hell. He is roaming about on earth and in outer space. He will only be thrown into the lake of fire at the end of time (Revelation 20:10). After he’s thrown into the lake of fire, he won’t be the king there, sipping on champagne while sitting on a throne and laughing at sinners burn. He will be burning and tortured just like anyone else in the lake of fire, for all eternity. The King of the lake of fire is God Himself, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now that we have established the foundational truths, I want to share about my experience with the fear of the dark. 
When you're ignorant about the power and authority that you have over the darkness, that's when you feel fear. In the presence of true revelation, all fear melts away!
