31 March 2019 - Jesus Fulfilled Jacob’s Prophetic Blessings - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPraise and Worship songs performed:
If you’ve not been toIsrael yet, then you have to go! As Jesus is, so are we in this world. If it said as Jesus was, it would be good enough, but it says “as Jesus is”. Life is about beholding the Lord Jesus. For everything in life, the answer is to “see Jesus”. See Jesus by listening to a sermon or reading God’s word. Don’t depend on visions because demons can give visions too. The first recorded thing that Jesus did after rising from the dead is to dry a woman’s tears. On that same day, Jesus walked on the Road to Emmaus with a couple (Clopas and his wife) who were depressed and disappointed. To the couple, Israel was the main attraction and Jesus was just a means to an end. The Lord was about to change that by expounding the Scriptures to them. Emmaus means “warm baths”. The couple said that their hearts were warm when listening to Jesus speak. Why did God restrain their eyes from recognizing Jesus? It was more important for them to see Jesus in the word than in person. They only recognized Jesus in the breaking of bread — they were allowed to recognize Him through that. The Book of Hebrews is all about showing that Jesus is better than everything else. The main thrust of the church is to expound Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Holiness is a term has been so misconstrued and maligned. The word “holy” comes from the word “whole”. Do you want to be whole? To be holy is to be uncommon. We don’t have to fit in with the world. Every marriage must have a third party: Jesus. Marriage is when two broken people are brought together. Don’t unconsciously put your spouse in Jesus’ place and start demanding from your spouse only what the Lord can provide. When your pastors go away to Israel, you stand to benefit because they will return with torrential streams of revelation to feed you with. Genesis 49:1 - Jacob’s blessings are prophecies about Jesus. “Jacob called to his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.” (Genesis 49:1 WEB) Genesis 49:28 - Everything in Genesis 49 are blessings that must be understood with Jesus as the key to unlock them. “All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his blessing.” (Genesis 49:28 WEB)
Jesus and the crowd following Him met the funeral procession coming from the opposite direction, at the gate of the city of Nain. The one who was dead is the child of a widow. Jesus is the Commander over Life and Death. When death and life met, death had to bow down to the Lord Jesus. Image credit to http://religious-artist.blogspot.com
