27 December 2020 - How to Have Many Beautiful Days - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught that if you want to see many beautiful days in the coming year 2021, you will have to learn this truth hidden in the names of characters and places in Acts 9. Do this frequently and you will enjoy God’s anointing working powerfully in your life! Praise and Worship songs performed: 1. Great is Thy Faithfulness 2. Living Hope - Bethel Music 3. I See Grace - New Creation Worship 4. Great is the Lord - Steve McEwan God is going to do good things for God’s people this coming year. The world will get darker and darker, but the church will shine brighter. The path of the righteous shines brighter and brighter. The theme of the year is primarily for God’s church. It is about what He will do for His people, not the world at large in general. 2 Corinthians 12:2 - Spiritually speaking, we are in the third heaven, seated with Christ in the heavenly places. We are in Christ. “I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows), such a one caught up into the third heaven.” (2 Corinthians 12:2 WEB) Deuteronomy 28:1-2 - We (spiritual Israel) are positioned high above all nations. Position before blessings. “It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. All these blessings will come upon you, and overtake you, if you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.” (Deuteronomy 28:1-2 WEB) Philippians 4:19 - God supplies all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. According means all and not just “out of”. “My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19 WEB) Ephesians 1:3, 6-7 - We have already been blessed with every type of blessing! This is thanks to Jesus’ blood that was shed for our forgiveness of sins. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;...to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved, in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,” (Ephesians 1:3, 6-7 WEB) Acts 9:36-37 - Stay in that heavenly spirit realm. The upper chamber is where miracles happen and God’s power is released. Like the upper (third) chamber in the side chamber of Solomon’s temple which is the treasury room. It is filled with gold, silver and the tithes. It doesn’t just represent a place of natural provision, but also spiritual gifts, wisdom and anointing. Tabitha means “gazelle”. Strong’s concordance says that the “upper room” means an apartment on the third storey. Joppa means “beautiful”. God placed man in the Garden of Eden, in a place of beauty. But death came in because Adam sinned. The Christian posture is not to look to death but to look forward to the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This passage will show you how to have beautiful days this coming year. Tabitha is a picture of the church. Many times when a woman is a type, she represents the church. “Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated, means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did. In those days, she became sick, and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.” (Acts 9:36-37 WEB) Acts 28:1 - “Malta” means “honey”, which is a picture of “the land of milk and honey”—the promised land. Those who listened to Paul ended up in Malta. It is a picture of Christendom. “When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.” (Acts 28:1 WEB) The Bible is full of types which represent something. For example, Joseph is a type of Christ. Boaz is a type of Jesus Christ, Ruth is type of the church, and Naomi is a type of Israel. Acts 20:7-8 - The church came together on a Sunday (first day of the week) to break bread. The Holy Communion was of foremost importance. In a place where many believers are gathered, there are many “lights”—every believer is a glorious, shining light. “On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and continued his speech until midnight. There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.” (Acts 20:7-8 WEB) Jesus’ words go beyond the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The words were not in red originally. Paul’s letters are also inspired and he received his revelation directly from Jesus. Acts 20:9-12 - The Holy Communion is the biggest priority in the gathering of believers. Instead of just calling it a day after resurrecting the young man, Paul continued to break bread, and then taught the believers until daybreak. “A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor, and was taken up dead. Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.” When he had gone up, and had broken bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed. They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.” (Acts 20:9-12 WEB) 2 Timothy 3:12 - You will suffer persecution as a believer for Jesus’ name’s sake, but you won’t suffer what Jesus suffered at the cross. He bore your sicknesses and pains. He carried your sins and was smitten by God. Jesus already took all that upon Himself so that you wouldn’t have to. “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” (2 Timothy 3:12 WEB) 2 Corinthians 8:9 - You are blessed to be a blessing, not to be full of avarice. You can afford to be generous because you have become rich through what Jesus did at the cross. “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.” (2 Corinthians 8:9 WEB)
