19 June 2022 - How To Grow In Sonship - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon Notes
New Sermon Notes: Pastor Joseph Prince taught us deep truths about the spirit of sonship that banishes the orphan spirit that many are afflicted with. Being conscious of your position as a son causes you to inherit effortlessly! Praise and Worship Song Performed: 1. Raise A Hallelujah - Bethel Music 2. As He Is So Are We - New Creation Worship 3.

Whenever something goes wrong, we can find the answers we need in the Bible. John 8:31-32 - Only the truth that you know will set you free. “Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”” (John 8:31-32 WEBUS) Jesus preached general sermons to the multitudes, but in private, He explained the meanings to His disciples. 1 Corinthians 4:15 - Some people understand the idea of student and teacher, but they do not understand the relationship between father and son. People have the orphan spirit, not knowing a father’s love. We must not miss out on the sonship spirit. “For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.” (1 Corinthians 4:15 WEBUS) John 16:12 - You can be a disciple and yet not intimate with the Lord. The twelve disciples were familiar with Jesus, but not all were intimate (understanding Him well). The Roman centurion was intimate with Jesus even when he was not familiar with Jesus. "“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now." (John 16:12 WEBUS) Matthew 15:26-27 - The Syrophoenician woman was intimate (understanding His heart of grace) with Jesus, persevering in asking for deliverance for her demonized daughter. The Lord referred to the woman and her daughter as “little puppies” (the diminutive term). Puppies belong to the house as well. The woman called Jesus “Son of David”, like she was pretending to be a Jew. The woman asked for a crumb, not even the full bread, and the crumb was enough to drive the demon out of her daughter. We are sons and daughters of God. We sit at the Master’s table and can freely enjoy the children’s bread. “But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”” (Matthew 15:26-27 WEBUS) Acts 11:26 - The word “called” is “chrematizo” in Greek, meaning “divinely called”. Believers were divinely called Christians. After the Book of Acts, they were no longer called disciples. Christian means “anointed one”. This title is not man’s idea—it was the Holy Spirit’s idea. “When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.” (Acts 11:26 WEBUS) The word “disciple” comes from the Greek word “mathetes” which means “student”. Some people exalt the idea of being a disciple, and lower the idea of Christian. That is regression. John 6:65-69 - The disciples who walked away believed that they were so smart to find Jesus and choose to become His disciples. They were proud and could not accept grace. You can be a disciple and not a Christian, but you cannot be a Christian and not be a disciple. “He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.” At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him. Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”” (John 6:65-69 WEBUS) The way we learn is by encountering the Father’s love. Paul never once called Timothy a disciple. He called him his son. Paul did not call Christians “disciples”.
