19 September 2021 - Triumph Over Difficult Seasons - New Creation Church Sermon Notes - Pastor Lawrence LimNew Sermon Notes: Pastor Lawrence Lim taught us three important keys that help us to triumph over difficult seasons in life. No matter how dark the night may seem, dawn is coming, and your breakthrough is on the way! Praise and Worship Song Performed: 1. Open My Eyes, That I May See - Clara H. Scott 2. As He Is So Are We - New Creation Worship 3. Only You - New Creation Worship Matthew 8:1-4 - One touch from God and your life will never be the same again. Our God is a healing God. He is our great physician—Yahweh Rapha. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. His will is always to heal. Leprosy was a dreaded disease. Jesus did not just heal the leper of the disease—He also healed the man’s emotions. It must have been a long time since the leper felt any human touch. Lepers were outcasts who were forbidden to come close to anyone who was not infected. “When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.” Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”” (Matthew 8:1-4 WEB) Matthew 18:20 - Jesus is here to meet you at the point of your need. He has the power to heal you and make you whole. “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”” (Matthew 18:20 WEB) We will inevitably go through difficult seasons, “the evil day”, in our lives. We can triumph over difficult seasons. You cannot pray for God to ‘take you home’ when it is God’s will for you to live. Romans 10:11 - Hold on to this verse in difficult seasons. “For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”” (Romans 10:11 WEB) Hebrews 6:12 - There are moments where our faith is challenged. This is the time to have patience. Never give up. Before the dawn, the night is dark. Your miracle is coming. “that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.” (Hebrews 6:12 WEB) Mark 4:5-17 - In Jesus’ parable of the sower, the seeds that were sown on stony ground could only endure for a short time. The devil’s plan is to steal God’s word from your heart because he knows that God’s word will blossom and bear fruit. When you start to hear and believe God’s word for a certain area in your life, you may face counterattacks which are the devil’s plan to steal that word from your heart. What do you do when such persecutions arise for the word’s sake? Never give up. Keep believing in it and be patient. “The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them. These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.” (Mark 4:15-17 WEB) John 10:10 - Jesus loves you. He will give you life so that you can have it abundantly. “The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” (John 10:10-11 WEB) God is not a respecter of persons. If He can heal someone, He can heal you too.
