1 August 2021 - The Third Day Generation - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesNew Sermon Notes: Pastor Joseph Prince taught us that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and we are in the Lord’s third day. Jesus’ return is imminent, and even if He tarries, you can expect to live a long, healthy life. You will see God’s glory when you roll away the stone of the Ten Commandments from your life! Praise and Worship Songs Performed: 1. This Is Our God - New Creation Worship 2. In The Name - Lakewood Church 3. My King - New Creation Worship 4. As He Is So Are We - New Creation Worship When God gives the message to Pastor Prince each week, He emphasizes to him about sharing His love with the church. God wants us to know how much He loves us. Pastors are shepherds who are supposed to feed God’s sheep, not beat them. 1 John 5:16 - There is a certain kind of sin that causes years of life to be ‘chopped off’ from a person’s lifespan. You can pray for that person. “If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.” (1 John 5:16 WEB) 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 - The generation of believers who will be “alive and remaining” during the Rapture are those who have a revelation that allows them to keep death at bay. “For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” (I Thessalonians 4:15-17 NKJV) Pastor Prince believes that we are the generation that will see Jesus’ return while we are alive and remaining. Daniel 5:23 - God holds our breath in His hands. If God lifts His hand of protection, we would experience attacks from the enemy like sickness and death. “but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified.” (Daniel 5:23 WEB) Some people say that you should only teach what you have experienced. You should preach by revelation, not by experience. The apostle Paul did not experience the Rapture during his lifetime but he still taught on it. Psalm 90:9-11 - This does not mean that our lifespan is only supposed to be seventy to eighty years. The context is about the children of Israel who wandered in the wilderness under God’s wrath. “For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh. The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away. Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?” (Psalms 90:9-11 WEB) 2 Corinthians 3:6-9 - Before the Law was given, no one from the children of Israel died between Egypt and Mount Sinai. However, after the Law was given, people started dying. The Law is the ministry of death. The emphasis of the Law is man-focused. The Ten Commandments was the only part of the Law that was engraved on stones (in Greek: lithos). There was glory in the Law, but the glory of the New Covenant of Grace exceeds much more in glory. All believers are ministers. Be a minister of righteousness, not of condemnation. “who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.” (II Corinthians 3:6-9 NKJV) Acts 2:11 - The emphasis of Grace is God-focused. When you pray in tongues, you are praising God beyond the human vocabulary. When you pray in tongues, you edify yourself—your entire being. It even builds your body up. “Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”” (Acts 2:11 WEB) Psalm 91:16 - God wants us to live long so that we can testify about Jesus. “I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”” (Psalms 91:16 WEB) The Law was designed to cut short the lives of evildoers. The children of Israel boasted that they would do all that God commands them (even before hearing the commandments). Almost immediately after, they made and worshipped a golden calf. They did not intend to sin, but the Law stirred up the sin in their flesh. Three thousand people from the children of Israel died at the foot of Mount Sinai that day. Romans 10:4 - We are no longer under the Law, but under Grace. We are saved by believing in Jesus. “For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.”(Romans 10:4 WEB) The name “Methuselah” means “his death will bring”. He was the longest-living man (969 years). God designed it such that when Methuselah dies, the flood would come. People at that time lived long lives and they were not conscious of death. The Law was not yet given either. ![]()
