Sermon note (4th svc)
Pastor Lian
Great is His faithfulness! So much myth surrounding the holy communion and making people so afraid to take it. Pastor Prince unveil what Jesus has done.
Pastor Prince said to one of the participants in the conference –
You have seen many things but you have been disillusioned.
Your best days are ahead of you!
(This participant was 80 years old)
Today you can reject disillusionment
My best days are ahead of me!
You said it and you see it! Receive it!
The pastors and leaders who came for the Leader conference, Pastor said to them, “You thought you came to this conference to serve God better. He brought you to this conference so that He can serve you.”
This is God’s heart. He wants to ℓσνє you. He wants to serve you.
How do you wash someone’s feet?
On the night He was betrayed He stood down.
Every disciples He washed their feet.
The feet is the lowest part of our bodies. Maybe there is some areas you are so ashamed of.
Today He will go down to the lowest place and He will revive that and restore to you!
Recount all the good things the Lord do for us.
There are so much good and yet we focus on the black dot.
Aren’t we like that many times?
God does not want us to focus on striving to attain the perfect state.
The Lord said don’t focus on striving. Live in and enjoy the blessed state.
There is no perfect wife husband boss church pastors!
No perfect state but only perfect Saviour.
Live in and enjoy the blessed state!
Jeremiah 17:7-8
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
When heat is on, it means the pressure is there.
Blessed does not means no challenge.
It means you does not fear when there is challenge and when there is pressure.
The blessed man trusts the Lord.
When God appeared to Abraham, He blessed him!
His heart is He wants us blessed.
Another word for blessed is happy!
His heart is He wants us happy!
Be not anxious when there is lack
In the lack you are not anxious. Because you know your God and trust in His goodness!
You may lack but the end of it is you will continue to be fruitful!
Blessed people, this is who you are!
Jeremiah 17:5-6
Thus says the Lord:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes flesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the Lord.
For he shall be like a shrub in the desert,
And shall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
In a salt land which is not inhabited.
Good but you cannot see.
The Lord gave him a wife to bless him. But he did not see the good.
Lets camp on the blessed man!
We are all blessed man!
He shall be like a tree, planted by the water which spread its roots
Ephesians 3:17-21
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Photosynthesis- water is necessary for the nutrients to move up the tree
The ℓσνє of God fills our hearts and make us strong!
His love for me is perfect
His ℓσνє for me will never fail
Be filled with the fullness of God
Been so full of His ℓσνє
Now unto Him. It is not unto me. It is unto Him
The blessed man is not a man who believe in himself or in others
It is either he will beat himself up or beat you up
When you look to yourself to perform and do, it will never be enough
You will end up not enjoying His ℓσνє
We are blessed not because we have 7-8 figures in our bank account, we are blessed because our trust is in the Lord
Never ask can God heal this disease. Christ has redeemed us every curse
Can your heart has a revelation so strong that our God loves us so much.
Sar
He has redeemed me from this.
Nothing is impossible
That is the power of the ℓσνє of Christ.
Sometimes you go through life and challenge happens.
Testimony –
Sarah from Rock kids. In root canal treatment they found something abnormal. They found a 2cm mass. They have to check if the mass is cancerous. It is on top of the nerve. If they remove it and it hits the nerve, her jaw and lips will be numbed permanently. This shook her.
She did not feel good about this. This weighed down heavily on her. Instead of sitting down and been paralysed by this. They decided to go for Rock kids mission trip. They decided to get second opinion. It was still same report. During a prayer, the leader prayed to give her a good doctor. God asked you to serve in this house to bless you. Wherever the Lord calls you, go.
He called you to bless you.
She went for 3rd opinion. The doctor said not to take out everything. She did a rescan.
They stood on the Word. There is heat. They chose to believe and trust in God.
They took the Word Isaiah 54
No weapon formed against her shall prosper.
They know God’s heart. What happened is not good but our God is good. She did a rescan.
4 months passed the 2cm was still there.
They removed the seed and the 3 weeks leading up to the surgery, they took holy communion.
One thing changed. At first she focused on healing while partaking. Than she has more intimate relationship with Jesus. She visualised Jesus took the cross and as if He is doing at the present.
She went for the surgery. They went in, doctor opened up and found no seed and no growth and only found miracle!
——
I can trust Him because He loves me
Just daily immerse ourselves in His ℓσνє.
Hear about it, read about it.
Let His ℓσνє so immerse us. His ℓσνє for me is so perfect. His ℓσνє for me will drive out every fear.
Everyone can fail me but my God don’t fail me
We come here sundays after sundays to immerse ourselves in His ℓσνє.
Judges 6:11-16
Gideon
Now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites. And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
Gideon said to Him, “O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.”
Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?”
So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”
And the Lord said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.”
We don’t fight against flesh and blood. It is spiritual forces.
We know the highest. We don’t just know. The highest of them all loves us.
The blessed man is the man who soak himself in this.
I belong to Him. I am my Beloved’s and my beloved is mine. His banner over me is ℓσνє.
Angel of the Lord – Pre-incarnate of Jesus
The Lord appeared to him and said Gideon looked at all the past and compared with the present.
Sometimes you ask the Lord certain questions and Hs don’t answer because it will not help you.
You got to let it go and ask God.
The Lord did not even answer Gideon questions.
He just got to go. The Lord is with you! Not with your own strength.
Go in this might of yours. You are more anointed and more blessed and more favoured than you know.
You are blessed! Open your eyes!
The blessed man shall not see when heat comes
How we see is very important
Did we see the heat or see God’s heart?
God wants you happy
Gideon saw he is the weakest and his clan is the weakest.
The Lord said surely. He added surely. Surely I will be with you and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.
Gideon has 300 men with him.
He started with 32000
When you are at the end, just know this, the Lord will show off His goodness to you
Are you at the end? He will not fail you. He will show up.
You can trust Him early in the morning. You can trust Him everyday.
Gideon had 300 men. His enemies had more than the sand in the seashore.
The Lord knows how to reach you and touch your heart. The Lord can terrify your enemies.
Give a bad dream.
This barley can destroy the enemy because He is the One doing the destroying.
That is our God. The Lord knows how to reach you
The Lord appeared to him in person but he did not believe.
The Lord made His enemies to speak this. He realised it is true. My God is faithful. He really loves me. He gave His enemy bad dream.
When He had revelation of God’s heart, he worshipped.
It is more than singing. It is when we see what a good God we have.
The Angel of the Lord is most likely Jesus. It is possible because of Jesus
Judges 7:20-22
Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers—they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing—and they cried, “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!” And every man stood in his place all around the camp; and the whole army ran and cried out and fled. When the three hundred blew the trumpets, the Lord set every man’s sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to Beth Acacia, toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
Right hand is trumpets and left hand is pitchers
Gideon knew His God will do it. He did not bother about the sword. It is not natural weapon to kill our enemies.
The trumpet, what did Gideon trust in? He blew the trumpet, every curse is finished at the cross! Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law.
What is it that slay the enemy?
My job is to be rooted and grounded that He loves me and He only got good for me.
Break every dependent on human flesh.
Don’t depend on your husband. He is human.
Don’t depend on your children. Let your heart depend on the Lord.
If your heart depend on human, you will be angry.
Break that dependent on human flesh.
It is not by might or power.
If you don’t have might or power, don’t worry. It shall be by the spirit of the Lord
Every mountains shall be moved.
The battle is the Lord’s.
No sword to fight. The victory is ours.
When he blew and broke the pitchers, the enemies turned around and killed one another.
This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvellous in our eyes.
Jesus said I gave My back to those who strike me.
He gave His back.
He gave His cheek
He did not hide His face from the shame.
He did not just die at the cross. He rose again.
He has conquered death and the grave.
