When people need healing, they tend to look for verses on healing and expect to be healed right away.
However many times God is more interested in first bringing you out of occupation with self and bringing you into occupation with Christ.
After hearing and hearing messages about Jesus and His loveliness, all of a sudden you realize that the faith you need to be healed is there.

Genesis 12:2-3 - God wants to bless us to be a blessing.
You are a blessing going somewhere to happen.
This is the first place in the Bible where “blessing” is mentioned. Blessing (a noun) is first mentioned in the story of Abraham.
The word for blessing in Hebrew is “Barak”. It is made up of three Hebrew letters.
The first two Hebrew letters in the word is “Bar” which means “Son”. 
The last Hebrew letter in the word is a picture of an open hand. 
Together it means “the Son of the open hand”. 
Blessing in Hebrew is “Barakah”. It has an additional Hebrew letter “Hei”.
Together, the Hebrew letters have the meaning of “The Son of the Open Hand of Grace”.
Since Israel rejected God’s plan for them to be an example of blessing, God made them an example of cursing.
Through the Law, no one can be blessed because man cannot keep the Law.
If you come under the Law, you’ll be cursed.


“I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”” (Genesis 12:2-3 NKJV)

The definition of “blessing” by John N. Oswalt : To bless means to endue with power for success, prosperity, fecundity (fertility), longevity, etc.

When God blesses you, He endues you with power. God is the only Source of blessing.

A curse is an enduement of power for failure.

Everything is heaven cannot be lesser than earth. Everything there is enhanced.
For a believer, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Jesus is still a Man today in heaven. He is a Man in glory.

Blessing will reverse the curse in your life. It doesn’t just remove what is negative, but it adds on what is of heaven.


In heaven there is no shortage and there is nothing hurtful or destructive.

At the end of the Book of Judges, it says that everyone did what was right in their own eyes.
That’s what is happening today as well, especially on social media.
No matter man’s opinions, we can’t change God’s ways of doing things.

The secret to receiving God's blessings: relying on righteousness by faith (grace) and not by works. 


Genesis 15:1-6 - The four kings of Iraq, Iran, Russia and Persia captured Abram’s nephew Lot. 
Abram fought the four kings, rescued his nephew Lot and captured their spoils.
After defeating his enemies, Abram was afraid because he was expecting a retaliation from them.
There’s many first mentions in this chapter:
“Word of the Lord”. 
“Vision”. You get a positive vision from God’s word. If you see a vision while praying, pray about what you’re seeing as well. 
“Fear not”. In Hebrew: Lo-Tirah.
“Shield”. In Hebrew: Magen. God was telling Abram that He is his protection. 
“Reward”. God was also telling Abram that He is his exceedingly great salary/wages (supply). 
“Believed”. In Hebrew: Amen. Abram “Amen-ed” the Lord. God counted it as righteousness and even when Abram failed later on, God still counted him as righteous. 
Sometimes when you feel troubled, go take a walk outside where you can see the sky. 
You’ll realize that your problems are nothing compared to God. 
Astrology is a perversion of what was originally made by God. 
The stars were made by God to tell the story of the gospel through the twelve constellations. 
The words “tell the stars” in Hebrew means “to narrate the story of the stars”. The word “tell” is “saphar”.
The constellation of Scorpio shows a scorpion, a strong man, and the man crushing the scorpion with his heel - 
just like the prophecy that God declared in the Garden of Eden about Jesus coming to crush Satan’s head. 
The constellation of Libra has a scale and the southern cross. Follow the cross and you will find your way home. The cross is the payment (as represented by the scale) for your sins. 
The constellation of Virgo. Jesus was born through the virgin. 
The constellation of Leo. Jesus as the victorious Lion of Judah. 


“After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” But Abram said, “Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!” And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.” Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” (Genesis 15:1-6 NKJV)

Psalm 19:1-2 - The word “declare” in this verse is also “saphar”. It doesn’t mean to count, it means to declare/tell the story of. 

“The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.” (Psalms 19:1-2 NKJV)

Galatians 3:5-10 - God preached the gospel to Abraham through the stars. 
The moment you take the position of being under the Law, you will be cursed. 


“Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”” (Galatians 3:5-10 NKJV)

Galatians 3:16 - Jesus is the Promised Seed. 

“Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ.” (Galatians 3:16 NKJV)

Psalm 19:1-7 - Before the word of God (Bible), the gospel was written in nature - in the stars. 

“The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race. Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;” (Psalms 19:1-7 NKJV)

​God delivers us when we confess that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus


Romans 4:1-5 - If it’s by works, then it’s no longer grace. God will be a Debtor to no man. 
God can only justify ungodly man on one basis: the cross of Jesus Christ.
Jesus took our sins and we received His righteousness. 
Jesus got what He didn’t deserve (curse) and now we get what we don’t deserve (blessings).


“What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,” (Romans 4:1-5 NKJV)

No one can change another person. A woman cannot change a man. Esther did not change King Ahasuerus’ heart. Only God can change a man. 

Psalm 71:1-2 - How did God cause David to escape? It was by God’s righteousness. 

“In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame. Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me.” (Psalms 71:1-2 NKJV)

Psalm 71:15-16 - The words “shall tell” is “saphar”. 
My mouth will confess God’s righteousness. 
“Your salvation” is “Yeshua” which is Jesus. 
When you keep declaring that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, you will receive physical strength. 


“My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And Your salvation all the day, For I do not know their limits. I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.” (Psalms 71:15-16 NKJV)

Psalm 71:24 - The word “talk” is “hagah” which means to mutter.
When you keep declaring that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, your enemies (sickness, lack, depression, etc.) will be confounded. 


“My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; For they are confounded, For they are brought to shame Who seek my hurt.” (Psalms 71:24 NKJV)

At the end of his life, Abraham was very rich and his wife Sarah had her youth renewed. She was so beautiful that even a heathen king wanted her in his harem. 
The Bible says that God Blessed Abraham in all things. 

Pastor Prince’s Closing Prayer: 
He prayed the Aaronic high priestly blessing (Numbers 6:24-26) over us, that we would be at the right place at the right time and be kept safe from all danger, accidents and tragedies.

* Please Take Note: These sermon notes are not official New Creation Church (NCC) or Pastor Joseph Prince sermon notes. These sermon notes are not affiliated with NCC or Pastor Prince.
I highly recommend purchasing Pastor Prince's sermons on his mobile app "Joseph Prince" on Apple App Store or Google Play Store even after you read these notes as I may have missed out something he shared and the overall experience is definitely different when you listen to him preaching directly!
​Use these notes as a revision guide instead of solely depending on them!

These sermon notes are independently-compiled by me, and I'm just a loyal and regular attendee of the the church's Sunday services, and I feel led to take detailed personal sermon notes of Pastor Prince's anointed messages to share them with the world, which desperately needs the true word of God and the original gospel of grace.

I feel blessed to be able to attend Pastor Joseph Prince's services in person, and would like to help everyone who isn't able to attend in person, to get hold of the messages as soon as it is preached!

Praise God!
I am writing from Kenya.
I have consistently been listening to Pastor Prince on operating under GOD'S Grace and speaking faith filled words of what I want, breaking bread and speaking in tongues.

My work is target based and for a whole year I didn't achieve but Glory to God am leading in my unit of operation in 2019 and believing God for a supernatural breakthrough to reach 12 million (Kenya shilling) this year.

Bless the Lord with me
