20 August 2017 - How to Finally Get Your Long-Awaited Healing - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineThe imagery of shepherd and flock in the Bible promotes healing. When a pastor sees the congregation as the Good Shepherd's flock, they receive healing. The number one imagery of Jesus in the Bible is as a Good Shepherd. Don't find fault with people who fall sick. Even a fit person can get sick. See sick people as children who have fallen into a pit. The priority is to get them out. "Pit" has the idea of an enemy who has set up a trap. Sickness comes because of a spiritual attack. I Peter 2:24-25 - The emphasis is not on the work of healing but on the Person of Jesus - "Who his own self... in his own body..." The Holy Spirit emphasizes the Person because the benefits lie with Jesus. You want to experience the benefits of the finished work? Go to Jesus! When you believe that you are righteous, the promise of "by whose stripes ye were healed" is yours. The word "stripes" here should be translated as "stripe" (the Greek uses the singular tense) because there was not even a sliver of skin left on Jesus' back. When you receive Jesus' skin by faith, you receive His radiance, complexion and healing. “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.” (1 Peter 2:24-25 KJV)

13 August 2017 - What Is Christianity - Reverend Canon J. John Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineThe church is an intergalactic enterprise! Christianity is an invitation. It's not a demand, it's an offer. It's very important to reply to this invitation while you're still alive. We don't know whether we will still be alive tomorrow. We can only be sure that we have today. John 3:16 - Who is the invitation from, who is the invitation to, and what is it about? This verse answers these questions. If you ask the wrong questions, you can never get the right answers. The invitation is from God, delivered to us from Jesus. The invitation is to every single one of us. Some people say that Christianity is a crutch. Everyone is a broken person - isn't it great to be able to lean on Jesus while He is putting us back together? According to the Bible, the length of a good life is threescore and 10 years which is 70 years. That's just a blip on the eternal screen. Christianity is forgiveness from the past, a new life here today and hope for the future. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NIV) 1. Forgiveness from the past Governments are working to treat the problems in the world which symptoms, but what is the root cause of every single problem in the world today? The heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart. Our hearts have dis-ease and it's out of the heart that seeds of evil are spread and produce all sorts of problems in the world today. The sinful things that we have done, said and thought before we were saved disconnected us from God. Jesus dying on the cross is like a blank cheque signed by His shed blood to pay for the sin debt of the world. Jesus came to clean us, restore us and to reframe us just like an old painting. 6 August 2017 - See the Price God Paid for Your Healing and Receive It with a Merry Heart - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineWhen you read about destroying enemies in the Old Testament, you have to apply that in your life today as spiritual enemies, such as sickness and disease. Animal sacrifices are killed in a humane way with the least possible suffering. However our Lord Jesus suffered pain before He died bodily (not spiritually) on the cross. He bore all our sins and pains in His body. The animal sacrifices are flayed (skin removed) after they are killed before they are placed on the altar. Jesus was scourged and the skin His back was all gone as well before He went on the cross. Jesus could feel physical pain. Deuteronomy 25:1-3 - Jesus was scourged using the Roman flagellum (aka cat o' nine tails). It is a octopus-like whip with many hooks, shards of bone, etc that latch onto the victim's back and when it is pulled out, the flesh of the victim is ripped out along with it. The cat o' nine tails hits the victim's back about 9 times with each blow. Jesus was beaten 40 blows with this. ““If there is a dispute between men, and they come to court, that the judges may judge them, and they justify the righteous and condemn the wicked, then it shall be, if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge will cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence, according to his guilt, with a certain number of blows. Forty blows he may give him and no more, lest he should exceed this and beat him with many blows above these, and your brother be humiliated in your sight.” (Deuteronomy 25:1-3 NKJV) Isaiah 53:4-6 - By Jesus' stripes we are healed! "Griefs" in Hebrew is "kholee" which means diseases. Kholee is a noun. The root word "Khalah" means to be worn down in strength. For example: the devil shoots you something that makes you worry and it makes you tired. "Sorrows" in Hebrews is "makob" which means pain. Jesus bore our diseases and carried our pains. The root word of heal "rapha" means to rest. The secret to receiving healing is to be restful. If you're handling an issue that wears you out in strength, then you're not supposed to be handling it - It's not God's will for you. For wives, if you want to tell/request your husband about something, wait till he's smiling, refreshed and recharged before doing so. Don't approach him when he's worn out in strength - you don't want to hear what he has to say to you and he doesn't mean it. “Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:4-6 NKJV) 30 July 2017 - See Through Jesus' Eyes: A Child Who Has Fallen Into a Well - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineIf you have been confessing healing, health and finances but you are seeing no results yet, listen to the Holy Spirit's prompting in you. Maybe He has been telling you something that you have been ignoring. God sanctioned the children of Israel in the past to eat animals that chew the cud and have cloven feet - that was considered healthy for them. What it means for us today is that you should feed from ministries that meditate on God's word and rightly divide the word in their walk. Even though we're surrounded by the culture of the world who try to condemn us for saying what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong, we don't have to be affected by what they say. Even though the world is under subjugation and the devil is ruling the world, we believers can still walk in victory. When Jesus comes back to rule on earth during the Millennium, there will be no more poverty, sickness, and natural people who die at the age of 100+ will be considered to have died as young as an infant. Yes after we are saved we are meant to share the gospel and get people saved, but that's not the purpose of life. God wants us to live life, and our lives will bear witness to God. It's useless to try to convince or answer your critics. By trying that, you're actually giving weight to what they're saying. Just ignore them. Some people are just sent to oppose you. Judas will always be Judas. You don't have to be a theologian to be able to understand the Bible. The Holy Spirit can speak to you and give you a rhema word specifically for your situation today. The word of God has a voice that speaks to you. 23 July 2017 - Boasting in Our Weakness Attracts the Grace of God - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineRainfall is a sign of God's blessings. Famine is a sign of His judgement. There is a wave of fresh unmerited favor coming towards you everyday when you wake up. Wave after wave of undeterred, unabated blessings are coming towards you. It doesn't come by fasting or doing something. It's not by earning it, it's by grace! We are standing on righteous ground. When you worry about a particular area of your life, you are constricting God's supply in that area. It's like blocking God's pipes of supply. We have lots of grace in areas that we don't worry about. Let go of your worries and let God take over - He will provide the supply! John 1:16 - Grace for grace is "Grace anti grace". Anti doesn't only mean against. It also means in place of.After we use up one wave of grace, a wave of fresh grace comes in its place! The more you try to make grace flow, you are spoiling the grace that is already available. When your prayer is desperate, it's frustrating the grace of God. Your prayer should be just affirming and declaring the grace that is already flowing. “And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.” (John 1:16 NKJV) God is constantly supplying us with the Holy Spirit. We can't leak and run out of the Holy Spirit. It is not faith to cry out to God and ask Him to do something that He is already doing. 16 July 2017 - The Secret to Having Increased Favor in Your Life - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineGrace should not be an article of your teaching. It should be the principle of your life! Galatians 1:6-9 - The grace of Christ is the only true gospel. Any other gospel is untrue. “I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9 NKJV) John 1:14 - Grace is not a subject. Grace is the Person of Jesus Christ. Grace and truth is "Hesed ve Emet" in Hebrew. God is restoring the gospel. It is not just restored to the original condition. It is made even better. The news doesn't tell you what God is doing in the world, but God is doing a great thing! “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14 NKJV) Don't envy financially rich people. We have joy unspeakable. We have great promises for this life and in the life to come. Don't waste time envying things that don't have true value. Only God can give you favor. Many Christian programs shut down because there is no favor. Favor can be increased in our lives and it can also be frustrated. Honesty alone doesn't bring favor. There are honest people who don't have favor in their lives. Sometimes homemakers do things that are more significant and have more eternal consequences than people who work a job. They are shaping lives for this life and for eternity. Why not ask God for increased favor, starting in your family? 9 July 2017 - MegaFest 2017: Woman Thou Art Loosed - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineAll Jesus needs is our consent for Him to love us and let His power flow within us. That is called repentance. The first mention of tears in the Old Testament is of the tears of a woman. The first mention of tears in the New Testament is also the tears of a woman. God hears your cry. Ever since Adam partook of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, he developed a conscience. Only when you know that there is a righteous foundation for your forgiveness and righteousness, then can you enjoy it with a clear conscience. John 1:17 - The Law was given from a distance, but grace came near and close through Jesus Christ. The Law is true, but it is not the truth. Grace is the truth that sets us free! “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17 NKJV) The gospel is not about right doing, it is about right believing! Jesus our High Priest is not there to find fault with us to the Father but He is there to represent us! The High Priest represents the nation to God, whereas a prophet represents God to people. If the High Priest is good, then the people are seen as righteous. If the High Priest is bad, then the people can look forward to a bad year ahead. I John 4:17 - This verse doesn't say "as He was", it is "as He IS"! Jesus is currently crowned with all glory and power, far above all dominion. The Bible says we are transformed by beholding, not by performing. Whenever you behold Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit goes to work and transforms us as we behold Jesus. When Peter saw Jesus above the storm and above the waves, he became like Jesus. He could walk on water. When you look at Jesus, the Holy Spirit makes you like Jesus. To the level that you are self-occupied, to that degree is your pain. The devil points you to yourself, whereas the Holy Spirit points you to Jesus. The gospel is not about us, it's about Him - our Lord Jesus Christ. “Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world." (I John 4:17 NKJV) Jesus has come to wash our feet. In our vertical relationship with Jesus, it is more blessed for us to receive than to give. However in our horizontal relationship with others, it is more blessed to give than to receive. There are two sisters in the Bible: Mary and Martha. Which sister made Jesus feel like God? It is Mary - she did the one needful thing: sit at His feet and receive from Him. After Mary received from Jesus, Jesus was refreshed! When you take from man, you deplete from him, but when you take from the Lord, you reinvigorate Him! Jesus' most often inditement to His disciples is "you of little faith". Faith is taking from Jesus. Why do you take so little when Jesus is so full of inexhaustible goodness? 2 July 2017 - How to Detox Your Soul - Pastor Mark Ng Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineGod wants the world to hear about His Son. God's heart is for His people to go into rest. Stop depending on self-effort - rest in what Jesus our Good Shepherd has done for us! We need to keep hearing and hearing the word of God. The key is to let the truth sink into your header and to live it out. Some people study the Bible so much but they miss out the most important part - our Lord Jesus Christ. When Jesus is preached, provision always comes. God's heart is all about His Son. The key is Jesus. When you have Jesus, you have everything! 18 June 2017 - The Role of a Father - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlinePastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes begins here: Fathers are called to sacrifice, serve and lay aside their own desires. Fathers are here to serve, not to be served. If anyone in the family needs to give in, it has to be the father. Sometimes your children's 'love tank' will get low - let you as their father be the one to fill it. When you have no love left of your own, still be the one to fill it. A holiday with the family is really fathering - you have to juggle looking out for your children's safety and giving them your attention at the same time. When your eyes are on the Lord, your fathering and performance as a husband will be better than usual. 11 June 2017 - Healing Flows When Grace is Exalted - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online
This is a Pastor Joseph Prince sermon preached at The Rock Auditorium back in July 2012. When we go out and spread the gospel, God takes care of us back home. But when we become inward-looking then the amount of worry and stress has no limit. A believer receives health mainly through partaking of the Holy communion. Laying on of hands is primary for healing people who aren't believers yet. Healing is God's dinner bell. A believer should be walking in health. By discerning the Lord's body during communion, you will be more whole, healthy and healed than before. Genesis 20:17-18 - The Law of First Mention when studying the Bible: There is a significant truth that God wants to reveal. The first account of healing in the Bible has got to do with family healing. Their wombs were closed up because Sarah was not in the right place. “So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children; for the LORD had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.” (Genesis 20:17-18 NKJV) Isaiah 53:4-5 - Healing is the work of Jesus Christ. In the Hebrew Bible, "griefs" is "kholee" which means diseases. "Sorrows" is "makov" which means pains. “Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:4-5 NKJV) Matthew 8:16-17 - Isaiah 53:4 was quoted by Matthew. This healing is physical healing, not spiritual healing. Before people are saved, their spirits are dead. As believers, our spirits don't need healing. It's our body that needs healing. “When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.”” (Matthew 8:16-17 NKJV) |
