Sermon note (4th svc)By Pastor Prince (Not direct translation)
The Ark of the Covenant
In the Old Testament wherever the ark went, the enemy was defeated.
The greatest furniture piece, the Ark of the Covenant.
The mooncake festival service, 200 souls were saved! Many are elderly people.
Believe God He will preserve us to do His kingdom on earth.
The Lord Jesus did not give us ceremony to observe.
Every time we take communion, we remember Jesus. We do it in remembrance of Jesus!
From Him come our health!
The Lord Jesus, His name is Victory. His name is strength!
One little thing can cause a lot of problems.
As for us, trust God and live life normal!
For any bad news in health, know in the midst of the bad things, God is there to protect us!
Terror and economic uncertainty, one thing we do know, the answer is not horizontal. The answer is looking up.
We need to pray. This is a relationship.
When God hears prayer, even if it is a groan, God hears you.
God don’t pick and choose who He wants to save.
When Jesus said whosoever, is whosoever.
God foreknew we will accept Jesus. God predestined us to be transformed like Jesus.
Whosoever will, will be saved.
Is fallen body, but never see your body as evil. God gives us our bodies and desire and taste for food.
God gives us varieties of taste.
God wants us to enjoy. God wants us to do it the way He desires us to do it.
The desires and the intention is from God.
God wants to eat and enjoy the food.
The cross gives God the righteous foundation to still bless us.
Health comes to my family. Health comes to my body.
Heaven is too bright.
Pathed is a poverty mindset. The heaven is pathed.
Use money to bless the people.
Romans 3:19-27
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
God’s Righteousness Through Faith
But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Boasting Excluded
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.
God’s law is not just outward, is inward
The 10 commandments are made for the unrighteous.
God said i will visit your sin no more.
Grace supersede the law.
The righteousness of God comes to everyone.
Been justified freely
The love of God provided the Son. The righteousness of God
Obedience of faith.
Will of the Father – obedience
One day, Christians will rule the earth. The meek shall rule the earth. It is in the bible!
The ark of the covenant.
Romans 3:25
whom God set forth as a propitiation (mercy seat) by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
The mercy seat is the cover.
Under His Wings, you are protected.
Holy is sanctify or sanctification. Holy means set aside.
Love is about giving not getting.
The centre piece is the mercy seat. It is the grace of God.
Jesus is our true atonement
The priest sprinkle the blood on the mercy seat.
Hebrews 9:5
and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.
Leviticus 16:14
He shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
Sprinkle blood once on the mercy seat, 7 times in the centre piece of mercy seat.
7 times means perfection.
Jesus only need to die once. That is why it was sprinkled once.
7, in the centre, means perfect.
Throne of grace, to obtain mercy and to find grace in time of needs.
Find grace to HELP in times of need.
Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever.
Obtain mercy and find grace to help.
If you are perfect, blood is not needed.
Get grace. Grace is getting the good things you don’t deserve.
When you make a mockery of grace, you are making a mockery of the Son of God.
Judge any preaching, who we glorify when the preaching goes for. Is Jesus been glorified in the preaching?
Learn at the feet of Jesus.
God is a God who can see through walls and hearts. God sees through walls. Nothing is hidden from God. The best part is He loves us.
On the night Jesus was betrayed, Jesus knew all things were given into His hands, He used His hands to wash the disciples’ feet.
Suicide is a form of self-righteousnsss.
Wood is a picture of humanity. Gold, deity
When the nail went into Jesus’ hands, He cried, He had pain. He was 100% Man and 100% God
The lid is 100% God. No wood.
He beat it (the lip) into shape for us to enjoy the mercy seat.
Jesus carried our sins. At the Garden of Eden, the angels stood with sword.
The sword went into Him. God forgiven our sins because our sins were paid. Not we escape!
The very first commandment says we must not have all other God.
Preaching Grace is the spring of holiness. The law is the strength of sin.
Nothing wrong with the law but it was designed to show our sins.
The 10 commandments is inside the mercy seats. Why did God give them manna?
Aaron’s rod budded. It has blossom, fruits. Resurrection life, people’s lives transformed.
Grace is higher than the law.
Justified by law, you have fallen from grace. Grace is higher than the law. From you to fall, it has to be from higher platform.
He cannot look thru His Son’s blood.
When God sees blood, He cannot see sin.
I did not see there is no sin in your life! I did not say there is no sin in your life!
God can be righteous because of the work of Jesus! Not at the expense of His righteousness but through His righteousness!
People who are hard on people and found their own children living in sin, they changed.
It is not doctrinal.
Matthew 23:37-39
Jesus Laments over Jerusalem
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
Wings is always a picture of protection.
Under the wings, you are protected.
Believe God for protection!
Psalm 91
Abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
God loves me. I am loved!
Jude 1:21
keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
John was the only one at the foot of the cross.
When you practise the love of Jesus, you are protected.
The satan name is called the accuser.
Psalm 91:3-7 (NLT)
3For he will rescue you from every trapand protect you from deadly disease.4He will cover you with his feathers.He will shelter you with his wings.His faithful promises are your armor and protection.5Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,nor the arrow that flies in the day.6Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,nor the disaster that strikes at midday.7Though a thousand fall at your side,though ten thousand are dying around you,these evils will not touch you.
Testimony-
A lady from California.
When Pastor Prince preached and prayed prayer of protection, she put on pause and asked her daughter to come and receive. Pastor prayed that they will not die in sleep.
They were exposed to carbon monoxide during their sleep cos of a faulty heater.
Praise Jesus they were awaken on time and went to hospital and they were protected!
Romans 3:25
whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
Covering is not payment.
Jesus is the true payment!
Jesus sacrifice is eternal.
When God justified you, He is just in justifying you!
Romans 3:26
to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
God is now righteous in declaring you righteous
God is justified and righteous
We don’t confess to be forgiven. We confess because we are forgiven.
With the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
John 20:11-15
Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord
But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”
She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”
Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”
She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.”
Why are you weeping? He said Heal her heart
He cares for us.
First mention of crying in New Testament – mother weeping for children.
Jesus wept to dry our tears.
He died that we might live. He was forsaken that we might have God’s constant presence.
