17 December 2017 - Live at Lakewood Church: The Secret to a Quality Life - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation ChurchJesus is not here just to be a Spectator in your life. He is here to meet your needs. We serve God because we have been served by Him. When someone allows Jesus to serve him, Jesus pours forth His goodness. If we don’t allow Jesus to serve us, we cannot flow with Him. It is not wrong to serve God, but if the heart is full of troubles and worries while serving, then it’s because that person has not been served by God. Martha was full of complaints whereas Mary allowed Jesus to serve her. How glad Jesus was to find someone that was willing to be served! The Christian life begins with you sitting down, resting in what has been done. We are rich because of the cross. Now that you are rich, act like it. Sow bountifully. Tithe to show that God is the source of your finances. You don’t have to tithe - you get to tithe. God never plays catch-up. What God does is in the invisible realm and it will manifest physically. What is of the flesh manifests quickly but is not comparable to what God does. Ishmael is of the flesh and he arrived first, but Isaac who is born of grace is better even though he took longer to be conceived. The devil always plays catch-up to what God is doing. If you can’t tell what God is doing, see what the devil is doing in your life, reverse it, and you’ll know what God is doing. Example: If the devil has placed sickness in your body, it’s because God has released health in your life. The people of the world only see what the devil is doing, but we need to see what God is doing behind the scenes. Don’t pray for God to move against what the devil is doing. We need to pray to see what God has done and declare it! Matthew 6:25 - The secret to a quality life and a healthy body is letting go of our worries. ““Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25 NKJV)

3 December 2017 - Get What you Want through the Power of Imagination in your Heart - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineMary carried eternity in her arms. But at that time He was confined within time. There are people who say that Jesus wasn’t born on December 25, and most likely He was born around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. But still, it’s alright to celebrate Christmas, as long as you remember that it’s about God sending His Son Jesus. It’s not about Santa Claus, it’s about Jesus Christ. Proverbs 4:20-23 - God’s word is not health to the world out there. It’s to all who find them. God’s word is health to ALL your flesh! Life and health are produced out of your heart. So are sickness and disease. Long before sickness manifests outwardly, it already existed in your heart. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things. It’s out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. The heart is not your spirit. The Greek word for spirit is “pneuma” whereas the Greek word for heart is “cardia”. It’s not the same. Your heart is right at the center where your spirit and soul meet. It’s more important to understand how it works rather than where it is. God has put His name in your heart. If you dissect a heart, the cross-section is shaped like the Hebrew letter “shin” which looks like a tilted “W”. Your heart is the key to experiencing life and health. “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:20-23 NKJV) Matthew 28:20 - The word “always” should be more precisely translated as “all the days”. The Lord says He is with us all the days of our life. “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” (Matthew 28:20 NKJV) When you are conscious of the Lord, you will be afraid of nothing. When you lose sight of the Lord, you may even despair of your life. When the Prophet Elijah when conscious that the Lord was with him, he could courageously stand in King Ahab’s court with Jezebel right there. When he lost sight of the Lord and became more conscious of Jezebel’s threats upon his life, he became fearful and fled from her. 26 November 2017 - The Strength of the Lord is Upon the Weak and Insignificant of the Earth - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineWhere two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name, there He is in the midst of them. Two is the smallest plurality. We are not meant to live with just us and God. God’s dream is the church. The longest chapter in the Book of Genesis is about the church - where the servant is looking for a bride for Isaac. The church is not a building. The church is the people of God who believe in Jesus. The church is the most successful organization in the universe. God put Gold, silver and platinum out here on earth for the church. The treasures are for God’s children. God only corrects His own children. We correct our own children, not other’s children. There’s nothing easier to do than looking. Just look to Jesus for all your needs, even in your marriage. 19 November 2017 - Jesus Heals and Gives you Strength When you have None - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineSalvation from hell is a once and for all event in our lives. However, believing in God is a continuous thing we do - we keep putting our trust in Him again and again. Jesus is an ever-present Savior. He is saving us every day. Jesus is our present tense Savior. He is a very present help in trouble. The Lord Jesus is always at the point of your need. However the presence of the need doesn’t mean that Jesus will respond to the need. Sometimes people don’t want others to help them. We have to invite Jesus into our situation so that He can help us. Jesus becomes frustrated when He sees our need but cannot help us right away. It’s called the love of frustration. Spiritual growth means increasingly seeing your flaws and also increasingly seeing the Savior’s love for you. The Hebrew word for repentance is “Teshuva” which means “a return” - a return to God. As we become more spiritually-matured, we don’t become more self-reliant - that is an abomination. We should become even more reliant on God. 15 October 2017 - The Blood of Jesus Marks Us for Blessings - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineThe worst thing for the personification of love is if He cannot express His overflowing love. In Greek, the word for “worship” is “Proscuneo” which literally means come close to kiss. The cross of Jesus did not make God good. God was already good. It’s not right to believe that God is angry and Jesus is good. God’s goodness was hindered, thwarted, held back because of man’s sin. Remember John 3:16 - it was God that sent Jesus into the world to save us. God never gave up on His dream of having a family. When God wanted many sons, He gave us His only begotten Son. Until you can appreciate the extent of God's judgment that Jesus suffered for us on the cross, you cannot appreciate the depths of God’s love. Revelation 20:10-15 - The devil hates it when these verses are read. When the devil is gone, Jesus will rule and there will be no more sickness or disease. As believers, our names are in the Book of Life. Those who do not receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior during their lifetime will be assessed judicially according to their works. None of them will escape judgment. “The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:10-15 NKJV) John 5:24 - A believer can never come into judgement. If any sermons/books/media teach that a believer can be condemned to hell, chuck it aside. Believe in Jesus’ own words! When a believer dies, the spirit is taken out of the body right before the moment of pain, and then he/she becomes more alive than before. ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” (John 5:24 NKJV) The judgment seat of Christ is actually not a place of condemnation or judgment for sin. It should be interpreted as the Bema Seat of Christ, a place where believers receive their rewards and positions in heaven from Jesus. It is where believers receive their eternal rewards and we will already be standing at the Bema Seat of Christ in our glorified bodies after the Rapture. 28 May 2017 - The Secret to True Transformation - Pastor Joseph Prince and Pastor Lawrence Lim Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince Interview with Joni Lamb on Daystar Television Network's "Joni Table Talk" TV program: Preaching about right living doesn't produce right living. If you attempt to live right but have wrong believing, you can't do it. If you are experiencing toxic emotions, it shows that there is wrong believing somewhere. Our beliefs determine our thoughts, our thoughts determine our emotions and our emotions determine our actions. It doesn't take the anointing to preach the Law. It takes the Holy Spirit's anointing to preach grace. John 3 - About Nicodemus, the "master of Israel". Jesus talked to Nicodemus like a theologian, and yet He told Nicodemus that he needed to be born again. John 4 - About the sinner woman. Jesus never told her that she needed to be born again. He used natural illustrations to talk to her. Jesus revealed Himself as the Messiah to the woman. You will never know that you are loved until the person knows everything about you and still says "I love you". Christianity is not about behavior modification. It's about heart transformation. We are saved and justified without works, but by faith. The Law presupposes man's strength. God knew that man cannot keep the Law. The Law is all about "you shall not". The New Covenant of grace is all about "I will" - it's about who God is and what He will do. God dealt with Israel by grace when He brought them out from Egypt. When Israel was given the Law, they immediately broke the first commandment - they made and worshipped the golden calf. The Law caused man to boast in his own strength and it led to sin. |
