24 May 2020 - The Fragrance of Christ Stops the Plague - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught how Aaron's incense is a picture of the perfections of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you remind Abba God about Jesus, lifting up prayers as fragrant incense to Him, every evil plague in your life stops in their tracks! Praise and worship songs performed: 1. Grace Revolution - New Creation Worship 2. Rain Upon My Life - New Creation Worship Sit down and meditate on Jesus’ words, just like Mary sat down at Jesus’ feet. Martha was worried and complaining because she didn’t sit down to listen to Jesus first. Read healing testimonies. It imparts faith to you. Before you go for a doctor’s checkup, prepare yourself this way. In this season of quarantine and lockdown, many people are battling with loneliness and depression. It is caused by a spirit of heaviness. Bible hope is not about wishing for good things to happen. Bible hope is a positive expectation of good things to come. Partaking of the Holy Communion with a fresh revelation can set you free from bondages like depression. Your future is as bright as God’s favor and His Grace. Pastor Prince prayed for people who are suffering from depression to be set free. Even after you just received healing, there may be counterattacks that come. Don’t trust the lies of the devil—fill your mind and heart with the truths of God’s word. Numbers 16:41-48 - Prophetically-speaking, this passage foreshadows how Jesus’ finished work at the cross would usher in a new day. Grace stops sin. It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance in Christ Jesus. When you live under Grace, you will bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Rebels like Korah and Abiram and their people murmured against Moses and Aaron. In judgment of that sin, the earth opened up and swallowed those rebels up. The next day, the congregation of the children of Israel didn’t seem to learn from what they saw the day before. Good leaders fall on their faces in prayer for their people. Don’t wish evil on anyone, even if they persecute you. Pray for God to bless them and deal with them mercifully and graciously. There’s never been such a plague in modern history that caused such a worldwide effect and shutting down of things than this COVID-19 virus. Job didn’t have a mediator between God and him. We cannot compare ourselves exactly with Job. Today, we have Jesus as our Mediator and High Priest who is interceding on our behalf. Jesus’ priesthood is in the order of Melchizedek—a priesthood of blessing with no curse. The incense is a picture of the perfections of our Lord Jesus Christ. The work of redemption is not just about removing our sins. God removed our sins to fill that empty place with His glory. The Old Covenant of the Law was an ‘old and dying way’. If the high priest didn’t make proper preparations, he would be struck dead in the Holy of Holies. Under Grace, coming to God is a “new and living way”—see Jesus freshly slain for you, and receive a fresh impartation of life from God. Aaron—the very high priest that the people complained against, saved them by standing in the middle with the incense. When you remind God about Jesus and His finished work at the cross, every evil plague in your life stops. “But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed Yahweh’s people!” When the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, They looked toward the Tent of Meeting. Behold, the cloud covered it, and Yahweh’s glory appeared. Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!” They fell on their faces. Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, and put fire from off the altar in it, and lay incense on it, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from Yahweh! The plague has begun.” Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the middle of the assembly. Behold, the plague has begun among the people. He put on the incense, and made atonement for the people. He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.” (Numbers 16:41-48 WEB)
