5 Apr 2020 - Shaking the Powers of Darkness to Save Us - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesWhatever man has put his trust in besides God is being shaken. Only God's truths and ways remain unchanging. Our God is in the process of shaking the heavens where the principalities and powers are, to cause their power to crumble, enforcing Jesus' victory which He wrought for us at the cross! Praise and Worship Songs Performed: 1. Sons and Daughters - New Creation Worship 2. I’m Held By Your Love - New Creation Worship 1 Timothy 6:18-19 - Keep supporting your local church in this time. By the principle of sowing and reaping, you are laying up for yourself a good foundation for the time to come. Joseph stored the grain in Egypt until the year of famine and they had food to spare during the famine. Isaac sowed in the time of famine and reaped a hundredfold. “that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.” (1 Timothy 6:18-19 WEB) This season of physical social distancing will not be a protracted ‘new normal’. Hebrews 12:24-29 - Blood has a voice which God hears. The blood of Abel cried vengeance against his murderer (Cain). The blood of Jesus speaks better things than the blood of Abel: redemption, healing, supply, forgiveness of sins and many more good things. Jesus was raised from the dead as a proclamation that our sins have been completely forgiven. Nazareth rejected Jesus who grew up there. A prophet is without honor in his own country. The Nazarenes rejected Grace. In Moses’ time, God came down to earth and shook the earth at Mount Sinai. The coronavirus is not sent by God, but through what was sent by the devil, God is shaking man-made things that men have put their trust in. God is shaking the heavens where the wicked principalities and powers are working from. The devil sent the coronavirus. He is the one who kills, steals and destroys. God shakes the powers of our spiritual enemies so that their strength crumbles. He is enforcing our victory at the cross. See God above the coronavirus and above all evil. As you behold Him, you are transformed into the likeness of His image. Bless the Lord before and after your meals. Put your trust in Him, not in the world. Man-made things can be shaken by crisis, but God’s things will never be shaken. Abraham tithed to Melchizedek by a revelation he received straight from Heaven. When Abraham’s servant was sent to find a bride for Isaac, he brought ten camels of good gifts—ten represents the whole. The Hebrew word for tithe is “maaser”. The Hebrew word for rich is “aser”. The rich is found in the tithe. Only Grace can produce holiness. When you realize how much God loves you, you won’t even be conscious that you’re being holy. “to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel. See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven, whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.” This phrase, “Yet once more”, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:24-29 WEB) We are not in the days of vengeance. These are not the days of the Book of Revelation. The catching away (In Greek: harpazo) of the church must happen first. The COVID-19 is just a birth pang, a sign of the time which is to come. Jesus prophesied that there would be rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines and pestilences before the time of His coming. During this time, preachers should not be using fear of judgment to try and produce holiness in the congregation. The fear of the Lord is not fear of judgment. Fear of the Lord is worship of the Lord, as defined by Jesus Himself. Salvation is not earned by works. That type of erroneous teaching is a killer of true holiness.
