9 August 2020 - Enjoy Overflowing Life by Being Grace-Minded - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince shared the reason why it seems like death reigns in the lives of some believers. When we are demand-minded and under condemnation, it leads to stress and manifestations of death. God's solution is: to receive an abundance of Grace so that we are supply-minded instead! Praise and worship songs performed: 1. Latter Rain - New Creation Worship 2. King of Kings - Hillsong Music Even nations have destinies in God. Psalm 91:5-6 - Really meditate and believe in Psalms 91. There’s more reports of asymptomatic (meaning no detectable symptoms) cases of COVID-19 springing up. God will even protect you from the pestilence that’s walks in darkness! “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.” (Psalms 91:5-6 WEB) There was a soldier whose regiment meditated on and confessed Psalm 91 during the world war. None of the soldiers in that regiment died on the battlefield! The Bible says that there are things you can do that shorten or lengthen your lifespan. The worshipful fear of the Lord prolongs your life. Honor your father and mother and you will live long on the earth. Romans 6:23 - The moment you placed your faith in Jesus and were born-again, you stepped into eternal life. Eternal life is the quality of life which God Himself lives by. Pastor Prince doesn’t believe in “conversion” because it implies man’s ability in doing it. No, we are born-again through the Holy Spirit. “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23 WEB) 1 Thessalonians 4:17 - We are looking forward to the Rapture which is imminent. We will receive immortal, glorified bodies when Jesus returns for His church. It’s one thing to be alive because you are young, but to “remain” denotes power. The end-time generation that will see Jesus’ return will have the power to remain alive. “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17 KJV) The Ten Commandments of the Law written on stones is the ministry of condemnation which produces death. Grace is God working and supplying, whereas The Law is man working and trying to meet demands. We are under Grace, not under the Law. Moses’ tabernacle has three components. Outside the tabernacle, there is sunlight. This is the light that is available to the world. In the tabernacle’s holy place, there is light from the lamp stand. This is light only available to the church. Thirdly, there is light from the Shekinah glory in the Holy of Holies. This is where believers should step into and receive light from. Outside the tabernacle, everything is busy. This is a picture of our body. But inside the Holy of Holies, there is perfect peace and quietness. This is a picture of our spirit. We are Tripartite beings, made in God’s image. You are a spirit that has a soul (your mind, will and emotions) and who lives in a container called the body. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The things which you can see are temporal. The things which are invisible are eternal. If you have a tumor in your body, it’s temporal. But God’s promises of healing are eternal. Lamentations 3:33 - Man’s thoughts towards God are rebellion and unbelief. But God’s thoughts towards man are love, compassion and mercy. “For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.” (Lamentations 3:33 WEB)
