Sermon note (4th svc)
Behold!
The Lord will preserve u from all evils.
The Lord is your Help.
Encounter night is encountering the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our theme of the year is the year of Jubilee.
Jubilee is not for the world.
Isaiah 59:20-21
“The Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,”
Says the Lord.
“As for Me,” says the Lord, “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord, “from this time and forevermore.”
When God takes away your sins that the Holy Spirit can fill you.
Holy Spirit can come and dwell in you.
Even the saints of old, all of them, the Holy Spirit came on them for certain task, and after the tasks Holy Spirit left. The saints of old were thirsty.
We have something they did not have before. We have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.
When the day of Pentecost, God sent the spirit and 3000 people were saved. The more you come to God the more you live.
Under grace, God said I WILL.
God said I remember your sins no more.
When you are on Mount Zion, it is no more a demand. Law demands, Grace supplies. The law kills, grace gives life.
Ceremonial law was never engraved on stones.
Holy Spirit comes to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.
He is like the woman the Lord chose for Issac.
God was thinking of His Son.
God has not withheld His Son, His Only Son from us.
God provided a ram. (Issac was saved)
Sheep gets stuck because of their fur. To get stuck in the horn meaning he purposely went in.
If got stuck by fur, it means it is blemish.
Before Abraham was, I AM.
Abraham looked behind and he saw the cross.
The heavenly Father today, for all men for their sins, Jesus has risen.
That servant who looked for wife for Issac, was Holy Spirit.
Over the camp fire, holy spirit will tell Rebecca about Issac.
Rebecca at that time loved Issac, having not seen him.
We love Him because Holy Spirit makes Him so real to us.
The Father sent His Son. The Father Himself loves us❗️
In 1937, there was a man looking for a job. He found a job at a bridge. He had the control of the lever to the bridge. He was happy he found a job. One day John had a boy he loved very much. He brought his son to the work. During lunch time they sat on a special viewing deck. The boy was so excited and felt his father was the best in the whole world.
Far away the father heard the train reaching sound. He realised he had to go back to turn the lever. He asked his boy to stay at the viewing deck. He looked down to make sure no one is at the track. He was stunned what he saw. He saw his boy had fallen among the gear at the track. The train was coming. The bridge was up. He cannot do both. 400 people in the train. The boy down there. He heard the boy screaming. Will he kill 400 people whom he does not know to save his boy? Or kill his boy and save the 400 people whom he does not know? He made the decision. He closed his eyes crying with his hand pull up the lever for the train to cross. He just killed his son for them that they might live.
The world act like they have not been loved.
It is our responsibility to tell them the good news. To tell them God loves them. What a price God paid. It was the Father who saved the world.
Rebecca lit off the camel. When she saw Issac she fell off the camel. Issac held on to her.
She was made wealthy by Issac’s servant.
2000 years God has been preparing a bride for His Son.
Falling off her feet -> rapture.
Our heavenly Bridegroom will sweep us off our feet!
He is altogether lovely!
By Him all things were made. Whatever we love on earth came from Him!
How Jesus is full of majesty. Yet so kind and so humble. He is a Servant yet there is a majestic. He sees everything about us.
Jesus could speak 2 words, Follow Me, and strong men left everything and follow Him.
Jesus did not condemn short prayers but condemn long prayers
He could weep and still be strong. He could weep and still do a miracle. He was angry when He saw the Pharisees. The right hand of a man was withered. Right hand means he can’t work. Jesus was angry at the hardness of Pharisees’ hearts. They are into religion but not into relationship.
Are we angry at injustice? Jesus was. There was no sin in His anger. The Father Himself loves you.
Pray in tongues only can happen under grace.
It was a unique gift for grace dispensation. You cannot pray in tongues and be legalistic.
Isaiah 59:21 – 60:1
“As for Me,” says the Lord, “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord, “from this time and forevermore.”
Chapter 60
The Gentiles Bless Zion
Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
Isaiah 60:1-2
Chapter 60
The Gentiles Bless Zion
Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
There was no darkness, sickness or disease during millennium.
The Lord will arise over us! We are in the year of Jubilee. Not for the world but for us!
God is going to do great things that the glory will so shine!
Isaiah 60:3-5
The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.
“Lift up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, they come to you;
Your sons shall come from afar,
And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
Then you shall see and become radiant,
And your heart shall swell with joy;
Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.
There is going to be transfer of wealth to God’s people in the world.
Matthew 24:1-3
Chapter 24
Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple
Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age
Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
Not one stone left.
Nothing original from the temple.
Every word you can trust. Heaven and earth will pass away but His Word will never pass away.
Matthew 24:4-5
And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
At the end of the week they will be at Mount Zion at the Upper Room
Jesus prepare a place for us. Where He is, we may be also.
This coming – is Second Coming for the Israel. They went through a lot.
Matthew 24:6-7
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
He is talking about our time.
When we are raptured, the worse will happen.
Matthew 24:7-9
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
When darkness covers the earth, we can rejoice! The glory of the Lord will be seen on us! The world will see the glory of the Lord.
Sorrow -> is the word labour pain
Women are redeemed from the curse of birth pain. Christ took the curse upon Himself.
There is going to be a new world coming!
We are not appointed to wrath. We are raptured by then!
Rapture is our body getting saved -> Bodily redemption. A body that is glorified.
Why year of Jubilee?
These are feast days!
Jesus died on the feast of passover.
We are in the end time but don’t be troubled. Spend time in the bible than spending time in the YouTube.
God works with our calendar too.
1967 was the 6 day world. In the 7th, Jerusalem went back to Israel.
Pastor Prince first day of preaching is on the Day of Atonement in Germany where they are celebrating Martin Luther’s reformation. Israel are celebrating The Day of Atonement on the day Pastor is preaching in Germany.
Leviticus 25:9-10
Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.
Unless you have peace in your conscious, you cannot let go.
God has seen fit that many a times the Word of God is in bite size.
God ordain teachers in the body of Christ.
Be humble.
We are living in wonderful season. Good for the church bad for the world.
As long as the church of Jesus Christ is still here, we are the salt that is holding back the corruption.
We are the salt and the light of the world. Until the rapture happen, the anti-Christ will not appear.
