Sermon Note
Pastor Prince
Jesus was sleeping in the boat when there was a storm. Imagine sleeping when your plane is going through turbulence.
Even experienced fisherman said to the Lord, don’t you care we are perishing?
Jesus woke up and spoke to the storm, “quiet”. There is a great calm in the great storm.
Main language of the holy spirit is vision and dreams
There are 2 types of prayers
The Lord’s prayer
You ask the Father in His name and He will give it to you
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
This “ask”can be Command or demand
Jesus has given church
Whatever you allow, heaven will allow
Whatever you disallow, heaven will disallow
It is not always asking. You know God’s will, you authorise.
Your problem is the devil.
Someone greater authority than the devil, you take the authority. Demand in His name healing and He will do it.
What if you don’t demand in His name
You are demanding from devil or the disease. You are not demanding from God
John 14:26-27
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
It is not always asking. Once we know what is God’s will, we authorise.
The bible is not a religious book. Is a manufacturer’s handbook
Life here is temporal. Eternity has begun
Memory is very important.
3500 years ago, the Passover happened the first night
Shalom is well-being. Shalom is wholeness
A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh. (Not the spirit)
Everytime we fall sick, i will look at who rob my peace
Health and quality. Look young. When you keep your peace
Grace and peace be multiplied to you through our knowledge of Lord Jesus Christ
Holy Spirit sometimes speak to you wordless
When you are close you don’t shout. Lovers don’t shout
Gentle whisper. Holy Spirit comes to us in a sweet small voice.
God speaks in pictures
We are like trees planted by rivers of water!
You, children of God, are always oversupplied!
Language of visions and dreams
Be alert to the language of visions and dreams
Not all dreams are from God
A dream Pastor had:
All of us are like huge buildings. It is the church. From far, beautiful country side. From a distance there is a pillar of cloud and it came closer to us. Underneath is high priest of Israel. He is Jesus. He started going very fast and enter.
What He is telling us is What used to take a long time is going to happen accelerated manner!
The fruits of the spirit are 9
The gifts of the holy spirit
The coming of Jesus will be so fast. Behold I come quickly
Quickly here means suddenly
Jesus don’t mind talking to tree. He cursed the fig tree which was not fruitful.
He spoke to demons they left
He spoke to storm they became still.
You don’t realise the power you have in your word. It is not you, it is the Holy Spirit
The absence or presence of peace is how the Holy Spirit leads us
Romans 8:16
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
If it is home and there is love, there will be correction
Colossians 3:15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Brabeuó (Vine Dictionary)
Properly “to act as an umpire”(brabeus)
Hence, generally, “to arbitrate, decide”
Col 3:15, “Rule” representing the peace of Christ, as deciding all matters in the hearts of believers
Bitterness is a dangerous thing
After there is bitterness there is sickness
You let go of your bitterness you let go of your disease
God is a forgiving God
We forgive but does not means we get close to the person
Watch out for people who use prophesy to manipulate you
Inward peace or absence
When you pray for someone, not every floating visions are from God
Whatever he does, prospers!
If the word is from God, it will confirm
God is in us. He will walk with us and dwell in us. All of us can hear God but leaders have more authority because they are taking care of us
Confirmation, not directional
When someone gives you a word and it does not confirm in you, put on the shelf
We learn Holy Spirit can teach us all things and bring things into remembrance
Luke 21:13-15
But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.
Ask the Lord, put Your word in my mouth
Isaiah 59:21
“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.”
Can we find a man in whom is a spirit of God
Right time right place
