Sermon Note

Pastor Mark

To have a mature christian life it is to build our lives in prayers 

When Jesus came to earth to die for us, we can stand boldly in front of His throne. 

In this world we tend to compare ourselves and try to qualify us. We are trying to see if we qualify in front of God. But we need to see how good Jesus is. Not how good we are. 

We know only God can help us. This virus outbreak we see that the world is having economic downturn. 

Today i am sharing the secret of prayers. 

I was like you. Thinking will God hear my prayers. 

Jesus come to help us. You might feel your light is dim and you cannot shine for Jesus. But Jesus is not giving up on you. 

God wants us to share gospel to the poor. It means good news to the poor. 

Today you are depressed. God understand you and want to set you free. 

Today Jesus replace us. We are accepted in the Lord. 

Now you feel blinded. Not sure what is ahead of you. Jesus is the Way. 

Today we are oppressed. The virus cause people not able to breathe. 

We need Jesus, He is the One who is our oxygen. 

We can rest in Him

God wants us to be able to rest in Him. 

Good news. Jesus died for you and I. We deserve death yet Jesus did not judge us and took our place. 

We can rejoice because God is for us through the blood of Jesus. 

The effectiveness of our prayers is not our outward appearance or action

Jesus countenance shines on us. 

John 6:28-29

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

See that the Lord loves us. This is ℓσνє. Not that we ℓσνє God, but He first loved us 

Matthew 12:20

A bruised reed He will not break,

And smoking flax He will not quench,

Till He sends forth justice to victory;

Matthew 15:7-8

Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:

‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,

And honor Me with their lips,

But their heart is far from Me.

We thought we need to do how much before God listen to my prayers. 

God wants us to know He first loved us. 

1 John 4:19

We love Him because He first loved us.

No matter how faithful we are, without Jesus, it does not work. 

Today God wants us to see that He loves us first. Not that we ℓσνє Him. He expressed His ℓσνє to the cross. He showed how much He loves us on the cross. Through Jesus sacrifice on the cross, we are made the righteousness of God in Christ. 

Testimony-

A brother lost his watch. He was very anxious and flipped his whole room. He could not find his watch. His brother came in and asked his brother to go out first. He closed the door. He found the watch for him. 

In his anxiously he could not find. 

His brother calmed down and tried to find the watch by listening to the watch ticking sound and found the watch. 

When we are anxious we cannot do. But when we see and know our Lord loves us, we will naturally let go and let God take over. 

Let go because God wants to take over. Once transfer hands, God take action! 

Know that God loves us. 

Matthew 6:6-8

But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

“Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

How to see Father? See Jesus. 

When you pray, quieten down and look to Abba Father. 

When you pray it is not how much you say. 

Today it is not how much we can pray but it is how powerful the One we pray to!

We are children of God. 

Every morning when Pastor wake up he will listen to the bird chirping. 

Even our Father will feed them, how much more us. 

Today quieten down in your soul and look to our Father. He is smiling at you. 

When we go near Him, He will reward us! 

Wow! It is not what we do for Him, it is when we go near Him. 

Whoever go to Jesus, we will not be hungry. 

Whatever we eat and drink, our Father will provide for us. 

Praise Jesus. I am grateful. 

When Paul preach, he reminded them how does God treats them.  

1 Corinthians 4:9

For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

We can be reconciled with God. Christ is in us! 

When we are in Christ, we are holy  in His eyes. 

See what Jesus has done for us. 

We are blameless in Christ. 

We are like Him. 

We have the mind of Christ. As Jesus is, so are we in this world. 

No matter how weak we are, look to Jesus. He loves us. 

Our prayer life is most important. 

Colossians 1:21-23

And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

The path of the righteous is brighter and brighter each day. 

We lift Jesus up. Believe Jesus has completed the work. We are made righteous, blameless and God rejoices in us. 

Jesus became poor for us so that we can provided for. 

Your Father shall reward you. This is lifting Jesus up knowing He has completed the work for you on the cross. 

Perfect ℓσνє cast out fear. 

Jesus has given us all. 

Our lives is the best testimony. 

Look at the grace! The grace that Jesus has completed for us. 

Our God knows what we need. 

We just need to be in front of Him and He will reward us. 

We await for His return. 

There is grace gift for us. 

1 Corinthians 14:1

Prophecy and Tongues

Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

Pursue Him in all things. God give us wisdom that lift us up. He raises us up. 

Know that He loves us and He direct us in our path. 

Behold Jesus. He loves us. 

1 Corinthians 1:8-9

who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jesus is in charge of our beginning and the end. He wants us to rest in Him. 

God is faithful. He called us into fellowship of His Son ! This is so glorious! God accepted us in Him. Jesus sacrificed Himself. He who is sinless became sin on the cross. 

He wants us to rest in His ℓσνє. 

Prayer secret – lie on His bosom

John 13:23

Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

John knows Jesus’ ℓσνє for him. He did not boast about his ℓσνє for Jesus but Jesus’ ℓσνє for Him. 

When we communicate with Jesus, we are praying. 

John lean on Jesus’ bosom. Only John knows who will betray Jesus. He was closest to Jesus, lean on Jesus’ bosom. 

When we pray, don’t try to see what we need to do. 

Lean on Jesus’ bosom and you will hear Jesus said He loves you. He will lead your way. 

When He lead your way, it is awesome! 

In red sea, He spilt the sea. 

In this world, there is lack

In Jesus, we are provided for. 

When we lean on Him, good things happen. 

Even the rest is provided by Jesus Himself. 

God wants us to have the first consciousness, we are not in lack! 

When we know He loves us, good things happen to us!

We are blameless in His eyes. 

With Jesus, it is so good!
