17 Jan 2016 - Ask For Godly Wisdom That Far Surpasses The World's - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineNew Creation Church is helping to feed hungry children (so hungry that they have to sniff glue to curb the starvation) in New Life Church in Tondo, Philippines. The Senior Pastor of New Life Church was a former leader of a gang, but he is now saved, and preaching the gospel of grace to his growing congregation! The money used for helping New Life Church is from the offerings given by the New Creation Church congregation in Singapore! 2016 is going to be "The Year Of Possessing Our Possessions". No more asking "How long more, Lord?". This is the year of salvation! People will possess the healing that they have been waiting for for so long. A testimony shared by Pastor Joseph Prince: A 24 year-old guy was bound in addiction to pornography ever since he was 14 years old. In November 2014, he heard a testimony shared by Pastor Joseph Prince of a man who was delivered from smoking, just by declaring that he is the righteousness of God in Christ. When the desire to look at pornography came, the 24 year-old guy did not try to stop himself. He knew that his own effort cannot deliver himself from his porn addiction. He confessed "I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I cannot, but Christ can." 2 months later, he had no more desire to look at pornography! He also realized that his performance at work was improving. Hallelujah! Jesus is altogether lovely. The more we look at Him, the more we will look like Him! God is not looking at you to access you. God is looking at Jesus to access you. You cannot believe the right thing and not live the right way. As a believer, you belong to the royal family. You are royalty. Walk like royalty - royalty is generous and princely, not stingy and petty. Sanctification is not just separation from, but it is separation onto. Ephesians 4:22-24 - The way to put off the old man and former conduct is to be renewed in the spirit of your mind - to have right believing. Be renewed in your understanding of who you are in Christ - God has created you in Christ as truly righteous and holy. People lie because they are afraid of man. Don't be afraid of man and what they think about you. Focus only on what God says about you. “that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4:22-24 NKJV) What does it mean to sit? It means that everything is finished, and you rest. Jesus has already done everything pertaining to your righteousness. Haters will hate. If they decide to hate you, they will hate you. There is something about growing and being big that makes haters hate. Assess things in the spirit, and not by sight. The Book of Ephesians: Chapters 1-3 - sit (wealth of the believer) Chapter 4-5 - walk Chapter 6 - stand (warfare)

3 Jan 2016 - The Year of Possessing Our Possessions! - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineThe church (The Body of the Living Christ) is the most successful, glorious organization on earth. It is eternal! Long after all organizations on earth have crumbled, the church will go marching on. We are called out of darkness to be living stones. God will never violate man's free choice. The world is getting worse, but it seems like the blessings of God upon us believers are getting greater! The theme of the year in New Creation Church is for those who come under Pastor Joseph Prince's ministry. If you attend a different church and sit under the ministry of a different shepherd, then the theme of the year does not apply to you. The devil wants you to see the obvious, the prominent, the visible. God wants you to see what He wants you to know. It took 10 plagues to get the children of Israel out of Egypt. It took the last cut - the blood, to get them out. The devil cannot resist the blood of Jesus Christ. On Christmas Day, manna came quietly - Jesus came as a Baby. He is the heavenly Manna. "Egypt" in Hebrew literally means double straits/pressure/stress. God brought the children of Israel out of the place of double stress! God wants to bring us out into a BIG place this year! It's not true that God wants us to have small lives. The stronger you feel your weakness, the greater God's grace is on you. God's strength is made perfect in your weakness. Deuteronomy 2:14 - 40 years in the wilderness - For the first 2 years, the children of Israel walked with God in the wilderness. Then they wandered in the wilderness for 38 years. Are you walking with God or are you wandering? Walking with God now is even more tight and closer than even Abraham did. “And the time we took to come from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the Valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, just as the LORD had sworn to them.” (Deuteronomy 2:14 NKJV) John 5:5 - The man represents Israel. What religion could not do to heal the man, Jesus did! “Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.” (John 5:5 NKJV) Moses could not look in God's face and live. We now behold the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Our walk with God is in the spirit. The wisdom that God gives us in one split second is greater than all the advice that the world can give us. Deuteronomy 8:7-9 - The fruits of Canaan grow on trees (example: olives, pomegranates) and are easy to be picked. The blessings of God are easy and ripe for the picking. Trust that God has your best interests at heart. “For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.” (Deuteronomy 8:7-9 NKJV) Pastor Joseph Prince doesn't believe in selfish prosperity, but he declares confidently that our God is an abundant God. Deuteronomy 6:10-11 - God promises that we will eat and be full! This is a picture of rest! ““So it shall be, when the LORD your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant— when you have eaten and are full—” (Deuteronomy 6:10-11 NKJV) Hebrews 4:1-3 - This is the only place in the Bible that God tells us to fear. Keep one fear this year - the fear of not being restful. Focus on what Jesus has done - that is how we can enter into a place of rest. “Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: “So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.” (Hebrews 4:1-3 NKJV) This year will be a year of enjoying things restfully! God loves it when His people rests in what His Son has done. Numbers 13:1-2 - This wasn't God's original design for the children of Israel. Because the children of Israel wanted to send men to spy out the land of Canaan and did not trust in God's words, therefore God allowed them to do so, just like how the Law was given. The Law was not God's original plan for the children of Israel. “And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.”” (Numbers 13:1-2 NKJV) Deuteronomy 1:21-22 - What can mortal men do when God has already spoken? There is a propensity of the human flesh to be wise in their own understanding. “Look, the LORD your God has set the land before you; go up and possess it, as the LORD God of your fathers has spoken to you; do not fear or be discouraged.’ “And every one of you came near to me and said, ‘Let us send men before us, and let them search out the land for us, and bring back word to us of the way by which we should go up, and of the cities into which we shall come.’” (Deuteronomy 1:21-22 NKJV) 27 Dec 2015 - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - About the Rapture and the Blessed Hope of the Bible!Titus 2:11-13 - Grace will teach us! The world doesn't have something to look forward to, but believers do! Jesus will come back for us bodily, not just spiritually. Be careful not to over-spiritualise the Bible. “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,” (Titus 2:11-13 NKJV) You can't be under grace and not be holy, just like how you can't be under water and not be wet! Philippians 3:20-21 - Hope is always talking about the future. The Bible hope is Jesus coming back for us. That is the blessed hope! When Jesus rose from the dead, He is the same Jesus. He is fully-Man. He is 100% God and 100% Man! Our current bodies are lowly. Our bodies do things that we are embarrassed about. Our current bodies cannot enter heaven - they cannot take it. God has to give us new bodies. “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.” (Philippians 3:20-21 NKJV) When Jesus overturned the tables of the merchants at the temple, He called the temple "My Father's house". Later Jesus said with regards to the temple: "Your house is left to you desolate". This is because God's presence had already departed from the temple. When God departed from the temple, it was doomed for destruction. Matthew 24:2 - In AD 70, the son of the Emperor of Rome, General Titus, said "Don't destroy the temple" (On the Temple Mount in Jerusalem). Jesus the Son of God said "not one stone shall be left here upon another that shall not be thrown down". The temple was on fire, causing the gold on the top of the temple to melt, flowing down in between the stones, and the Roman soldiers broke the stones to get the gold. Jesus' words came to pass. Not one stone was left upon another. God's words always come to pass. "And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down."" (Matthew 24:2, NKJV) Occupy yourself with business as if Jesus isn't coming back for 1000 years, but live as though Jesus is coming back today! 17 books of the Old Testament and 23 books of the New Testament talks about the Second Coming of Christ, and yet today many of the churches are not preaching about it. That is why many believers are being robbed of the blessings that they are accrued. God renews our youth like the eagles! He did not create man to grow old and die. God hates death! Growth comes from making choices. But when you make a choice, you cannot choose a different outcome. Believing in Jesus is not a religion, it is a reality! 20 Dec 2015 - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online (Christmas Service 2015) - The Saving Blood of Jesus!Jesus is the Reason why we gather and celebrate Christmas! Time feels like it's accelerating. We need to make our mark for Jesus while we still can. Things are already bad in the world, but it will continue to get worse. Jesus said in the world you will have trouble. The whole world's focus will be on Israel. The nation of Israel is testimony that God is alive! Israel is surrounded by many enemies, but God has preserved it. Jesus was born from two lineages of King David. He has a double-claim to the throne of David! "Harpadzo" - a Greek word that means "a snatching away". In the Jewish culture, the groom will decide a time to snatch the bride away to his home. Jesus will come to snatch us away, to be with Him, during the Rapture. Grace is something that the world cannot understand. The world thinks that Christianity is a religion where you have to climb to a level where you will be good enough to enter heaven. No, Jesus came down to where we are and saved us. When Jesus was born, one of His names is "Immanuel" which means "God with us". Luke 2:7-11 - Mary was probably about 14-15 years old when pregnant with Jesus. She took a 75 mile journey to Bethlehem. Mary had no help when giving birth except for Joseph. It does not say that there was no room in the inn - it says that there was no room FOR THEM in the inn - there was no room for Jesus. Man's heart rebelled against God even though God loves man. “And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:7-11 NKJV) Jeremiah 41:17 - The inn belongs to the royal family of David, and therefore Jesus should rightfully be allowed to stay in the inn. “And they departed and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, as they went on their way to Egypt,” (Jeremiah 41:17 NKJV) When God made man, He called man "blood man" - "Adam". Jesus had to have a body with blood in it. Your spirit cannot die. It will be housed for eternity either in heaven or hell. Hell was never made for man, but if you slap God's hand away and refuse His help, then you have chosen your destiny. The reason God sent His Son is to save us. When we look at prostitutes and drug peddlers, we think it's a big sin. They are committing big sins. But in actual fact, one sin itself is enough to send us to hell. All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. If we are all sinners, then we all qualify to be saved by the Savior, Jesus! 13 Dec 2015 - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Experience God's Four Times Protective Covering!Pastor Joseph Prince shared this Testimony: This gentleman from Canada stumbled upon pornography at 14 years old. He went for promiscuous live shows and participated in other sexual sinful activities. He struggled with sexual sin for many long years. He ended up divorcing his wife. He kept seeing Pastor Joseph Prince on TV, books in the mall, and finally he decided to check out his teachings. The teaching that we are the righteousness of God has totally changed him. Whenever he felt like he needed sex to cover his pain like a band-aid, he would just declare that he is the righteousness of God in Christ! He is now totally free from sexual addictions. Praise Jesus! Pastor Prince invited us to say this together with him: There is sin in me, but there is no sin on me in God's eyes. When God looks at me He doesn't see sin on me. There is no sin in Jesus. But at the cross, there was sin on Him. Under the Old Covenant, the priest examines the sacrificial lamb that a person brings as a sin offering, for blemishes. If there are no blemishes, the offerer lays his hand on the lamb and the sins of the offerer are transferred to the lamb. Conversely, the righteousness of the lamb is transferred to the offerer. Then the lamb is slain. The offerer then walks away righteous! Jesus is our sin offering. The sin offering is most holy. Jesus' death for us at the cross is most holy! We are living in perilous times. People are afraid to fly, to travel, they are even afraid of where they are staying in. Fear has caught the world. But God is not caught by surprise. Believers are in the world but not of the world. We are covered by God! There are four coverings that cover the tabernacle: Badger skin, ram skins, goat's hair, fine linen. We are covered. We are four times covered! In the Bible, "silver" represents redemption. Silver speaks of the blood of Jesus. We were bought by the blood of Christ! The standing boards of the tabernacle are made from acacia wood. God has transformed us from acacia trees into standing boards fixed in silver sockets. Our feet no longer touch this cursed earth - we are fixed upon a solid silver foundation (represents the blood of Jesus Christ that redeemed us). Our resources come from heaven, not from this cursed earth. The wooden boards are overlaid with gold. When God looks at us, He doesn't see the wood, He sees the gold! God sees the inwards whereas man sees the outward. As believers, God sees us as the righteousness of God in Christ. The more of God's glory you have inside you, the more radiant you will look on the outside. The place of protection is inside the tabernacle. When you pray don't pray as if God is so far away in heaven. A whisper is a more powerful way to pray and is more in line with New Covenant truths. As believers, we are always in the Holy of Holies. God has made for us a new and living way! The more we come to God, the healthier we will become. We are already complete in Christ. We are seated in heaven at the right hand of Jesus. We begin our journey as believers already complete in Christ, not walking towards completeness. Exodus 26:1-2 - The curtains of the tabernacle is colored blue, purple, scarlet, and white (fine linen). These colors represent the four gospels (Blue - John, Luke - scarlet, Matthew - purple, Mark - white) Blue - sky (representing heaven and divinity). Purple (a result of blue and scarlet mixing) - God and man mixed - royalty. Scarlet - blood ("Adam" means "red man" - because of the blood inside him). White - in Him is no sin, He knew no sin and He did no sin. ““Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine woven linen and blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim you shall weave them. The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. And every one of the curtains shall have the same measurements.” (Exodus 26:1-2 NKJV) Psalms 91:4 - Psalms 91 was written after the tabernacle was inaugurated. Under His wings - The writer of Psalms 91 is referring to the wings of the cherubim on the ceiling curtains of the tabernacle. As believers, we are always inside the tabernacle, covered by God. “He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.” (Psalms 91:4 NKJV) 29 Nov 2015 - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - Grace Revolution USA Tour 2015 at Barclays Center, New York - Our God Restores!Pastor Joseph Prince sang Psalm 34 over the congregation - deliverance, healing, breaking of all bondage took place on a massive scale. Praise Jesus! “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together. I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.” (Psalms 34:1-22 NKJV) The bread is a symbol of Jesus' body, not His actual body, but it is powerful! Healing miracles can happen instantly or progressively through Holy Communion. Every time you partake, believe that you're getting better and better. Partake of Holy Communion everyday, all the way until you're 100% healed and beyond! You'll get healed and get younger too! Pastor Prince loves to teach from the Old Testament to bring Jesus out from the shadows! Leviticus 6:4-5 - Under the trespass offering, if the sinner has stolen, he has to restore 120% more to the person that he has stolen from. When God restores, He always restores greater in either quality and/or quantity! “then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall restore what he has stolen, or the thing which he has extorted, or what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing which he found, or all that about which he has sworn falsely. He shall restore its full value, add one-fifth more to it, and give it to whomever it belongs, on the day of his trespass offering.” (Leviticus 6:4-5 NKJV) Psalms 69:4 - We have robbed God of His glory, but Jesus has restored on our behalf what He did not take away! Jesus took the place of the injurer. God designed it such that Jesus would be become injurer in our place. “Those who hate me without a cause Are more than the hairs of my head; They are mighty who would destroy me, Being my enemies wrongfully; Though I have stolen nothing, I still must restore it.” (Psalms 69:4 NKJV) John 15:25 - Jesus said this of Himself at the Last Supper. It is from the Messianic Psalm 69. “But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’” (John 15:25 NKJV) Pastor Prince believes that we are the final generation! Colossians 1:17 - When Jesus is in the center of your life, everything is held together! “And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together). [Prov. 8:22-31.]”" (Colossians 1:17 AMP) We don't have to do restitution! The thief on the cross next to Jesus' cross did not do restitution, but he was still saved! 8 November 2015 - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Grace Revolution Tour at Lakewood Church 2015 - Receive Freedom and Provision Through Confessing Your Righteousness in Christ!Colossians 1:17 - In Christ, all things are held together! Jesus wants to be in the midst (in the center) of our lives! “And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together). [Prov. 8:22-31.]” (Colossians 1:17 AMP) The holiest city in all Israel is Jerusalem. The holiest location in Jerusalem is the Temple Mount. The holiest location on the Temple Mount is the Holy of Holies. The holiest object in the Holy of Holies is the Mercy Seat! Grace and holiness are not on opposite ends. The greatest holiness is grace, hope and mercy. I Corinthians 13:13 - The greatest of the three is love! “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” (I Corinthians 13:13 NKJV) I Thessalonians 1:3 - The Apostle Paul encourages all believers to continue in their work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in the Lord Jesus. “remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,” (I Thessalonians 1:3 NKJV) Revelation 2:1-2 - The church of Ephesus did their works and labor in patience, without faith, hope or love! That's the fault that Jesus found against them. ““To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, ‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;” (Revelation 2:1-2 NKJV) Romans 1:16 - The gospel is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes! “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” (Romans 1:16 NKJV) No one is as beautiful as our Lord Jesus Christ. He cannot disappoint you. He is both the Lion and the Lamb. He is both majesty and meekness. When sinners touch our Lord Jesus, they don't defile Him or make Him unclean. Instead, they receive what He is. The reintroduction of the Law after sinners have been saved by grace, kills revivals. II Corinthians 5:21 - Be careful what you say about yourself. You should say "I am the righteousness of God in Christ!" Jesus received our sins upon Himself at the cross, and we have received Jesus' righteousness. It's a divine exchange! “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (II Corinthians 5:21 NKJV) When you believe right, you will live right. You will become holy by accident! You will attract God's favor and blessings to you. Matthew 6:33 - Don't dissipate your faith by praying and believing for individual provisions. But only seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all those things: clothing, food, provisions, and more, will be added to you! “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 NKJV) Romans 14:17 - The kingdom of God is not from the outside-in, but it is from the inside-out. God is underlining what the kingdom of God is for our benefit - it is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit! “for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 14:17 NKJV) 25 October 2015 - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - Grace Revolution/ New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Healing Secrets Hidden in the Hebrew Language (NCC 2nd Service)The anointing of the Holy Spirit is not time-sensitive. You can watch Pastor Prince's sermons from years ago and you can still receive the anointing. The Hebrew word for "Save" is "sozo" which means safety, healing, deliverance, protection, preservation and more! Jesus' name in Hebrew is "Yeshua" which means Savior. Revelation 20:11-15 - Believers will not stand before the Great White Throne to be accessed and sent to hell - only non-believers. Non-believers will be judged according to their standards - the book of records will be opened and the non-believers will be judged. Believers will stand before the Bema Seat of Christ to receive their rewards. “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 20:11-15 NKJV) There is no such thing as 'more dead'. Dead is dead. If you don't accept the Lord Jesus, God sees you as dead. Man judges based on outward appearances, whereas God sees the heart. Luke 7:41-47 - People who think they are forgiven little, love God little. Those who believe they are forgiven much, love God much! “There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?” Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have rightly judged.” Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little." (Luke 7:41-47 NKJV) The devil was trying to prevent Pastor Prince from sharing this message on a revelation of healing found in the Hebrew language, by spiritually attacking him with red hot patches all over his body. After going to the doctor, the doctor's report came out that there was nothing wrong with Pastor Prince. Every Hebrew letter is a picture - it is a pictogram. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. 5 is the number of grace in the Bible. In Hebrew, the number 5 is called "hei". The fifth time David's name is mentioned, it says David has found favor. The fifth time Ruth's name is mentioned, it says grace. This is one of God's names - YHVH - Spelt in Hebrew with yod hei vav hei - Pronounced as "Yahweh". God breathed a "hei" into Abram's name, making it "Abraham". God breathed a "hei" into Sarai's name, making it "Sarah". When grace comes into your life you become fruitful. "Alev" is 1 in Hebrew. It is a picture of an ox - a picture of sacrifice. "Bet" is 2 in Hebrew. It is a picture of a house. "Gimel" is 3 in Hebrew. It is a picture of a camel. "Dalet" is 4 in Hebrew. It is a picture of a door. "Hei" is 5 in Hebrew. It is a picture of a window - it is for you to look out at something. There is a principle of counting Hebrew letters to find God's revelations and truths. If you put a letter at the beginning of the word, it is a "prefix". If you put a letter at the end of a word, it is a "suffix". If you put a suffix at the end of a Hebrew word, it becomes your possession - it is a letter of possession. 18 October 2015 - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Living Worthily As A King And Priest to GodA Testimony: Ethan was born with severe heart problems in the USA. He was missing an aortic valve in his heart. He needed open heart surgery within 24 hours of being born. When he was growing up, he needed surgery on his heart every few years to enlarge his aortic valve. As he was growing up, he watched Pastor Prince's sermons on television with his mum every morning. His dream was to go to Singapore to meet Pastor Joseph Prince. Someone contacted Make a Wish foundation and notified them about Ethan's dream. They fly Ethan to Singapore and arranged for Pastor Prince to meet him at New Creation Church. Pastor Prince met Ethan and prayed for him. Ethan saw God's great love for him through this experience! God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should be saved. That's His heart for us. Testimony: A man was addicted to the highly-addictive drug called "Ice". He read books about the Lord and the addiction went away. In September 2013, he attended a friend's birthday party and they were taking drugs. He succumbed to the temptation and took drugs too. Then his addiction to drugs became worse than before. He took the drugs daily. After he watched Pastor Prince's sermon called "Step into God's Greater Glory", he woke up the next day and found that he was free from all desire to take the drugs. He has been free from drug addiction since April 2014. Praise Jesus! God is raising a lot of young people established in grace and is not waiting for them to grow up before using them! Isaiah 11:6-9 - When the reign of Jesus comes on earth during His millennial rule, nothing will destroy each other. There will be no destruction on earth. "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:6-9, NKJV) In the middle of the 7 years Tribulation will be the Great Tribulation. II Peter 3:8 - A thousand years with the Lord is like one day. "But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day." (II Peter 3:8, NKJV) John 2:1-10 - After two days (on the third day), Jesus turned water into wine. It points to the wedding feast that will take place in heaven after the Great Tribulation. "On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”" (John 2:1-10, NKJV) John 11:17 - Why Lazarus was raised from the dead only after 4 days: From Adam to Jesus is 4000 years. Salvation was made available to mankind after Jesus died at the cross - man who was dead in his sins because of Adam's sin was raised to life! From Jesus to us is 2000 years. "So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days." (John 11:17, NKJV) Matthew 6:9-13 - The Sermon on the Mount is the Constitution of the King. The Lord's Prayer is for the dispensation at that time - Israel was still under the Law and Jesus had not died at the cross yet. We should pray according to Paul's prayers. Now we pray because we are forgiven, not to be forgiven. "In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen." (Matthew 6:9-13, NKJV) The first 4 chapters of the Book of Revelation talks about the church. Chapter 5 onward is after the Rapture has already happened. We believers will already be with Jesus in heaven. The Book of Revelation is a symbolic book. We are in the End-Times! Revelation 13:16-17 - You will have to have a mark on you before you can buy or sell after the Rapture. It could be a chip implanted inside you. To take the mark is an unpardonable sin. This is not applicable for believers before the Rapture because we will already be in heaven by that time! “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” (Revelation 13:16-17 NKJV) Revelation 1:4-6 - "Who is who was and who is to come" is referencing "YHWH" (Pastor Prince pronounces it as "Yahweh"). God wants Jesus to have preeminence. Jesus is the firstborn from the dead! As believers, we are kings and priests to God. “John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (Revelation 1:4-6 NKJV) Malachi 4:6, Revelation 22:21 - The closing statement of the Old Testament is "curse". The closing statement of the New Testament is "the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all"! “And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”” (Malachi 4:6 NKJV) “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.” (Revelation 22:21 NKJV) 13 September 2015 - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Are There Commandments Under Grace?Romans 13:1 - Now that it's after the Singapore elections, trust that whatever result is God's will. It's time to pray for your leaders of Singapore and stop complaining. “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” (Romans 13:1 NKJV) God is the only one who can govern the affairs of the nations. We are about to enter an era where there will be a revived Roman Empire - a United States of Europe. God choice was David, not Saul. God promised that David's throne would be forever. God wants the whole world to be blessed, not just Israel. King Solomon is still the richest man that ever lived. He built the most expensive Temple of God that ever existed. The children of Israel strayed from the Lord. They worshiped Molech, and sacrificed their babies to the flaming arms of the idol of Molech. Their babies would roll into the red-hot fiery cauldron. We're waiting for the kingdom that is not built by human hands that will destroy all other kingdoms - the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. In a marriage, the man being the head does not mean tyranny or bossism. He's the facilitator and the leader. He's the one accountable before God for the family. Men and women are in equal standing before God, with different roles. Women are more intuitive and men are more logical. Romans 2:12-16 - Pastor Joseph Prince shared a story about how a missionary preached to a tribal leader and realized that he knows the Ten Commandments in a rephrased manner. The Law is written in man's conscience. God will judge the men who did not know the Ten Commandments by their conscience. “For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them ) in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.” (Romans 2:12-16 NKJV) |
