30 May 2021 - Reckon Yourself Dead to Sin - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught that we are not progressively dying to sin, but we are already once-and-for-all dead to sin and forever alive to God. Reckon yourself likewise whenever mirages of temptation and sinful imaginations arise in your flesh. Give no importance to what is dead and the lie will vanish! Praise and Worship Songs Performed:
Joshua 13:1 - There still remains much more inheritance in Christ to be possessed. “Now Joshua was old and well advanced in years. Yahweh said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.” (Joshua 13:1 WEB) Ephesians 1:3 - We have already been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. “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;” (Ephesians 1:3 WEB) Ephesians 6:12 - The devil and his demons try to attack the same heavenly places by hindering us from receiving our blessings. “For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12 WEB) 1 Timothy 6:12 - Our fight with the devil is a fight of faith by resting in Christ. The devil has already been defeated, so just remain in a posture of rest. “Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.” (1 Timothy 6:12 WEB) Sometimes we have a season of walking victoriously over sinful habits, and then we suddenly experience a breaking out of the flesh, even when we are engaged in good spiritual activities. Why is this so? There is difference between redemption by blood and redemption by power. In Egypt, the children of Israel were redeemed by the blood on their doorposts and lintels. The judgment of God had to pass by their household because a death of an innocent lamb has happened. This is a picture of Jesus’ sacrifice at the cross. In our daily life, there is an outworking of the Holy Spirit and that is the redemption by power.
