19 July 2020 - Speak and See God’s Gracious Provision - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon Notes

Pastor Joseph Prince shared how we can simply speak and see God's gracious provision flow in our lives, because Jesus was smitten on our behalf at the cross and is now seated in Heaven as our great High Priest!

Praise and worship songs performed:
1. Way Maker - Sinach
2. I Want To Sing Until I Am Lost In Your Love - Malcolm du Plessis
3. You Alone - Don Harris
4. People Need the Lord - Greg Nelson

Every good and perfect gift is from above. God has no virus in Heaven to give the world. But He is allowing these things to happen for the good of His people.

Pastor Prince received a word from the Lord: “I want the church to reach beyond its four walls (of church buildings). I want the Gospel of Jesus Christ to go online and reach the four corners of the earth, because time is short (before Jesus’ return).”

1 Thessalonians 1 - We are seeing many end-time signs, like birth pangs of a woman, indicating that Jesus’ return is nearer than ever.
The posture of a believer is not to look towards the grave but to look towards the sky for Jesus’ return.
There is no death or sickness in Jesus’ kingdom.
We are only waiting for one last part of our redemption: our bodily redemption. We will receive a physical glorified body that will never die.

“and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.” (1 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When you come in line with what God is doing, and give of your resources towards that purpose, God will surely prosper you.

1 Kings 17:9 - When a channel in your life dries up, go “there”. God will lead you to a new channel of His supply.

““Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”” (1 Kings‬ ‭17:9‬ ‭WEB)‬‬

Hebrews 4:1 - Our promised land is rest in Christ.
Local churches need to repent (change their minds) about the way they conduct church services. They need to go “there” in this season.

“Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.” (Hebrews‬ ‭4:1‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Soul-prosperity comes from knowing Jesus.

Numbers 20:3-12 - The fortieth (final) year of wandering in the wilderness commenced with the death of Miriam.
She was Moses’ sister and precious to the children of Israel. They felt like they lost someone precious.
When God brings you out of somewhere, it’s just a transitional (interim) period. He’s going to bring you into somewhere else.
The children of Israel saw God’s faithfulness to them throughout the forty years of wandering, and yet they still murmured against Him.
When people complain against you, it’s a good approach to fall on your face before God and find out His mind about it.
The God of the Old Testament is the same God as the one in the New Testament.
In the Old Testament times, God could only show His back parts because of man’s sin. He was always leaving man.
But His heart is full of love and man’s sin barred the full expression of that love.
Now after Jesus’ finished work at the cross, God’s love can abound unceasingly towards you.
Jesus’ death removed the barrier of sin between God and man.
Jesus’ death fulfilled all the righteous requirements of the Law, so that God is now righteous in being gracious towards us.
Jesus is the fullest expression of who God is.
When the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, she was healed.
Jesus turned around because He didn’t want her to feel like she stole her healing.
Instead of only seeing His back parts, the woman saw His face and heard about God’s love for her.
God wants you to be well more than you want to be well.
Aaron and Moses were brothers. The patriarchs had rods. Moses had a rod that turned into a serpent and also was used to part the Red Sea.
It is clear that God was referring to the rod of Aaron in this passage, and not the rod of Moses.
When some of the children of Israel rebelled against Moses and Aaron’s leadership, God showed that He chose Aaron by making Aaron’s rod bud with almonds.
How can a dead rod bud? Almond is a picture of resurrection. It is a picture of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
The rod of Aaron was placed in the Ark of the Covenant in the Tabernacle.
The word “rock” in the passage is “sela” which means “high cliff”. Now Jesus has ascended to Heaven and is far above every principality and power.
Now you don’t need to ask Jesus to come down when you sin or are in need. The rock doesn’t need to be smitten twice. Just speak to the rock (Christ) and your provision would flow.
Moses failed and wasn’t allowed to enter the promised land. Moses represents the Law.
Joshua’s (Yehoshua) name is similar to Yeshua. Only Jesus can bring you into the promised land. You can’t enter by trying to keep the Law of Moses.
Moses dealt harshly with the people, against God’s will. They couldn’t see God but could only see His representative.
God wanted to honor Moses and Aaron and give them the opportunity to be honored in front of the children of Israel.
Imagine if Aaron had just spoken to the rock, causing the water to flow out abundantly.
Moses hit the rock with his own rod of judgment. You can’t hit the rock with Aaron’s rod because it would spoil and the almond blossoms would fall off.
Despite Moses’ grievous sin of misrepresenting God, God still poured out water from the rock abundantly. If Moses would not sanctify Him in the eyes of the people, He would still do it Himself.
In the Rabbinical writings, it says that the first time Moses struck the rock, blood came out. The second time he hit it, water came out.
They would never write something that purposely confirms Christianity.
Showing God’s Grace to the people is the way to sanctify God in the eyes of the people.

“The people quarreled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before Yahweh! Why have you brought Yahweh’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals? Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.” Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. Yahweh’s glory appeared to them. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it pour out its water. You shall bring water to them out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink.” Moses took the rod from before Yahweh, as he commanded him. Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Shall we bring water out of this rock for you?” Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice, and water came out abundantly. The congregation and their livestock drank. Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”” (Numbers‬ ‭20:3-12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

John 19:34-35 - At the cross, blood and water poured out from Jesus. The rock that Moses hit twice is a picture of Jesus Christ.

“However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.” (John‬ ‭19:34-35‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

We have a great High Priest, so speak and expect God’s provision to flow!

Deuteronomy 2:7 - Remember all the good things that God has done for you instead of murmuring against what He has still not done.

“For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He has known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years, Yahweh your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.” (Deuteronomy‬ ‭2:7‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Deuteronomy 8:16 - God does test us, but not the way the devil tempts us.
The devil tempts to destroy us. However, God tests us for our good—such as to reveal destructive paths that we are on, to bring us to a good latter end.

“who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:” (Deuteronomy‬ ‭8:16‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Even in the Old Testament, a priest always represents Grace. A prophet at times can be representing the Law or judgment.

When a plague began among the children of Israel, God told Aaron (synonymous with Grace) to take the incense in the censer and stand between the plague and the people who were still alive. Aaron stood between the dead and the living.
Jesus’ finished work at the cross ended the dispensation of the Law and began the time where God deals with us by the New Covenant of Grace.

Even the food we eat every day has to be killed, pounded, crushed and burnt in order to become nourishment for us. These are small parables about Jesus’ finished work at the cross.

Exodus 17:5-6 - Moses’ rod was a rod of judgment.

“Yahweh said to Moses, “Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the rod in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go. Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.” (Exodus‬ ‭17:5-6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

1 Corinthians 10:4 - The rock that Moses hit represents Jesus Christ. Jesus was smitten at the cross so that the waters of God’s Grace can be ours to enjoy.
The would rock is “tsur” which means boulder.

“and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭10:4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Hebrews 4-14-16 - At the cross, Jesus was stricken by God’s rod of judgment so that we can enjoy the refreshing waters of God’s Grace.
If we believe we have a great High Priest, we will have a robust faith and unshakable confidence in the Lord.

“Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession. For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.” (Hebrews‬ ‭4:14-16‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

2 Chronicles 20:21 - The word translated as “mercy” is “hesed” in Hebrew which means grace.
When you demonstrate God’s Grace, you are showing the beauty of His holiness.

“And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.” (2 Chronicles‬ ‭20:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

"After embarking on "Younger and Younger" for the day, I managed to run about 3.2 km which I normally can't.

Thank you brother Milton for obeying Jesus and taking us on this journey." - Alwin Seeni from Singapore

I love that I can just play them whenever | like. Even if I'm not totally paying attention to them, I know that they are still getting into my spirit and mind. Thank you so very much! God Bless! Sincerely, Sheree” - Sheree Kleinhuizen

“Hi Milton, your book is beautifully written with deep spiritual insight. It opened my spiritual eyes to the fact that I don't have to settle for the natural ageing process of my body which I kind of took for granted. Through Jesus' finished work I can enjoy youth renewal. Your daily devotional and scriptures illustrates that very clearly. For which I sincerely thank you! Your book is a "must" for all seniors who like me focus more on the natural aging, then on the spiritual truth! All glory to Jesus!” - Ilva S. From USA

I have known the delivery man for many years but recently he has started to call me beautiful when he sees me. I smile and praise the Lord. This book has helped me to receive the blessing of renewing my youth to be younger and younger. All glory to Jesus. He is beautiful, lovely and young. So am I in Him.” - Cynthia Lim from Singapore

It's time to silence the serpent for good!

Reviews about “Silencing the Serpent”:

“I am fully blessed by this book. My heart has has been filled with peace and joy since I read it. Wrong beliefs and strongholds are loosing their hold on me.” - Loise from USA

"Thank you brother Milton for this amazing book. It has been much needed in my current season when I'm going through so much demonic attack through people supposedly close to me. God has used the Word to remind me that He is with me ALL the way and that I should have NO fear. No weapon formed against me can prosper and every tongue raised against me in judgement I have the power to condemn with ALL the weapons of warfare given to us by God. I'm blessed and grateful to God for using you to assure me of His Mighty Presence--that He will never leave me nor forsake me. Hallelujah & Amen!" - Shally Joseph from India

"Milton Goh, I downloaded your book and it was God's appointed time for my breakthrough. He destroyed a stronghold in my life that was rooted on a lie. A light just went on in an instant and the Lord uprooted a wrong belief. I struggled now for years with a relationship and I believed a lie that a sin I committed in the past was unforgivable, and I judged the other person for the same sin. It was unconscious and I didn't know that I was bound by this lie. When I read a chapter in this book, about strongholds in the mind, the Holy Spirit revealed it to me in a flash and it was as if the walls of Jericho were tumbling down! Thanks for this book--it is from the Lord!" - Antoinette Hurter Keyser from South Africa

"A short testimony to share after reading the chapter about girding up our loins with the TRUTH. After reading it, I met some of my colleagues and the first thing they told me was, "You are fat, you put on weight," not even "Hi, hello, how are you..." At first, I was sad over the remarks. But almost immediately, I was reminded of truth of God's Word which says that "I am highly favored, beloved of Jesus, and Jesus sees me as fit and healthy. I am not defined by what others say, but by what Jesus says!" After that, I carried on with work and went for my run and managed to complete close to 5km. Something which I have never done before. All praise and glory to Jesus. Thank you, brother Milton for your teaching on the armor of God shared in this book! - Alwin Seeni from Singapore

"Thank you brother Milton. Your insights are a blessing. God bless you with many more beautiful revelations." - Shirley Thomas from India
