Sermon Note
Pastor Benjamin (Heaven On Earth)
Message and Vision
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
We have the true Light. We have Christ. We come out stronger than before
The best is yet to come, amen!
2018 – Divine Restoration
2019 – Royal Jubilee (freedom and come with blessings)
2020 – Year of Kingdom Treasures
When deep darkness cover the earth, that is where we are shinning
2021 – Restful Conquest & Inheritance
Flying eagle is us. We behold Him and we transformed from glory to glory
Eagle vision is sharp and focus on the right thing. The Lord is calling us to reap the harvest. To be the fishes of men. Resting in the finished work of Christ. We are not conquering through our effort. We inherit more because of Christ. We will not burn down.
Conquest – gain new land.
The overcoming of a problem or weakness
We already has inheritance in Christ. Our part is to take over. To rule over and take control.
We already inherited. Our part is to take over. Includes all the blessings. Most important is the souls. God’s kingdom and the souls. The souls belong to Jesus. He gives us the privilege to win souls that are already won.
It is not about trying to save souls.
They are waiting for us to let them co-inherit this kingdom of God together.
The souls already belong to God because Jesus already paid the price.
John 20:21 TPT
Jesus repeated his greeting, “Peace to you!” And he told them, “Just as the Father has sent me, I’m now sending you.”
John 16:33 TPT
And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world!”
REST
Receive the peace as we rest in Him
We are in this world but not of the world
The troubles and sorrow are breads for us
God gives us the power to soar higher and higher
Early December confirmation of the theme came
Peace – shalom
Safe, happy, well, prosperity, peace
Before Jesus ask us to do something He equipped everything inside of us
Everything we need to do, called to do for God’s kingdom, He already provided for us.
The most powerful person He has given to us is the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said He abide in us forever. There is no condition.
He never leave us nor forsake us.
When we answer to God’s call, He provide us everything we need.
Do not fear. Peace to you. Shalom.
Just as the Father has sent Him, He has sent us.
When the Father sent Jesus, was He in lack?
When He needed to pay the tax, the fish will bring the coin.
There is plenty of healing and overflow.
There is the power that is already in us.
As Jesus was sent by the Father, the same spirit is in us.
Psalm 2:7-8 AMPC
7 I will declare the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, You are My Son; this day [I declare] I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession.
The nation comes with the people
God will never enforce us to do something.
He is super patient and super respect our choice.
What would that feeling for eternity?
John 4:36-38 TPT
36 And everyone who reaps these souls for eternal life will receive a reward. And those who plant spiritual seeds and those who reap the harvest will celebrate together with great joy! 37 And this confirms the saying, ‘One sows the seed and another reaps the harvest.’ 38 I have sent you out to harvest a field that you haven’t planted, where many others have labored long and hard before you. And now you are privileged to profit from their labors and reap the harvest.”
Hear Him say to us, well done My faithful servant
Added rewards that God wants to give to everyone of us
Plant a spiritual seed and the Lord recognise that as well
Our part is not to expect them to say yes
Our part is sowing and reaping
The hard labour has been done by people like Paul.
We are getting the rewards from reaping what they had sowed. We are reaping what Jesus paid on the cross.
Every souls that come to the Lord we can feel heaven’s joy.
Joshua 1:6 AMPC
Be strong (confident) and of good courage, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
Part of inheritance and conquest
Joshua 1:1-6 (NKJV)
God’s Commission to Joshua
After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
Joshua means the Lord saves
When we talk about land, it includes the people
Every place the sole of your foot tread upon, I have given to you
You have the gospel of peace, wherever we go to share the gospel, the souls belong to us. But it is not we own the souls. It is to win together for God’s kingdom.
Every conquest we are going for, God is with us.
Be strong and of good courage
Put on that being. Of strength and good courage
Today we already has the inheritance in Christ
John 1:17 AMP
For the Law was given through Moses, but grace [the unearned, undeserved favor of God] and truth came through Jesus Christ
Today our Leader is Jesus. Jesus is our heavenly Joshua
Today the law is already passed
The purpose of the law is done. The purpose is to show we cannot fulfil.
Law is the power to sin. The more we try to fulfil the law it activate the flesh and it leads to sin.
We need to be restful first.
Jordan means to go downward. To bring down the enemy the boundary
Cross over Jordan.
God is saying cross over Jordan. The Lord wants us to cross over Jordan.
We feel we are not good enough
We feel down. We feel everything that is not good. God wants us to arise and cross over.
That is the part the holy spirit wants us to know.
Don’t stay in Jordan.
God wants us to arise and cross over.
He has given that peace.
Peace, shalom
We are all made whole.
We look to Christ and will not look at our shortcoming. We look at Christ and transformed from glory to glory!
God said arise. Cross over this. Cross over whatever boundary we set ourselves.
Wherever your feet shall tread, all belongs to us.
Truth is on God’s side.
The truth is God has already done everything for us.
When we are in Christ we died with Him already.
Hebrews 6:13-16
God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ
For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.
It is not just physical blessings. It is soul!
Greater rewards in heaven.
Our part is look to Christ
We obtain the promise
God not only promise. He swear to Himself
This blessing is already ours
Revelation 7:9 AMP
After these things I looked, and this is what I saw: a vast multitude which no one could count, [gathered] from every nation and from all the tribes and peoples and languages [of the earth], standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Christ), dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands;
The key thing is availability
He does not look at our ability but our availability.
Even we start small, God is the One who multiples our gifting.
Matthew 4:19-20
Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
The thing is about our heart
Give Him the highest priority to give to His higher calling.
Just be led by the Holy Spirit.
God is the one who leads. We just need to follow Him
Be fishers of men.
It is not about our self effort.
We can truly rest on the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
John 21: 3-7 TPT
3 Peter told them, “I’m going fishing.” And they all replied, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and fished through the night, but caught nothing.
4 Then at dawn, Jesus was standing there on the shore, but the disciples didn’t realize that it was him! 5 He called out to them, saying, “Hey guys! Did you catch any fish?”
“Not a thing,” they replied.
6 Jesus shouted to them, “Throw your net over the starboard side, and you’ll catch some!” And so they did as he said, and they caught so many fish they couldn’t even pull in the net!
7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Peter heard him say that, he quickly wrapped his outer garment around him, and because he was athletic, he dove right into the lake to go to Jesus!
When we caught nothing, it is like a place of Jordan.
Jesus is the heavenly Joshua on the other side of the sea.
Jordan is the place of downcast
Starboard side is the right side.
John 21:6
And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
Even though Peter denied Christ 3 times, he still dove towards Jesus
His ℓσνє is the One that compel us to Him
God feeds us first
The King of kings is the One who prepare us for this.
Every nation shall be saved
We will be the fishers of men for every town and every nations
It was so many but the net was not broken
John 21:8-17
But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish. Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken. Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.
This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.
Jesus Restores Peter
So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”
He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”
He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”
He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”
And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.
We serve the Lord we will not be lacked of anything
The ℓσνє that is only from God
By our human effort we can’t ℓσνє God as He loves us
It is not about ourselves
Our part is to look to Christ. To rest in Him. In His rest and peace, God is the One who makes us fishers of men.
God will never enforce us on this higher calling. Is our part to response to this higher calling. He is the One who provides for us
Ephesians 1:11-12
In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
We are in the same boat. The same ministry to reach out to the lost souls.
Our part is to trust Christ and is God who works all things.
God already know our choices in advance. He predestined everything and work everything for our good.
Romans 8:28-29 TPT
28 So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose. 29 For he knew all about us before we were born and he destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of his Son. This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like him.
Like the eagle that is soaring, as we look to Christ, we are transformed higher and higher.
We will bring in more fishes, more souls
John 20:21 TPT
Jesus repeated his greeting, “Peace to you!” And he told them, “Just as the Father has sent me, I’m now sending you.”
The Year of Restful Conquest & Inheritance
——
Pastor Stephanie
In the world we have so many voices esp this year. In the midst of so many voices we can hear Jesus
He becomes the most intimate Person in our lives
Go forth
I go forth and tell! God’s ℓσνє embraces all; he will in grace respond to all who call: how shall they call if they have never heard the gracious invitation of his word?
Jesus is our Conqueror!
He has already conquered everything for us
As God has sent Him, He has sent us
Conquest over our physical mind and senses
The Lord begin to feed.
Jesus as an Eagle feed us eagle food
Jesus as an Eagle is the King of all birds.
Is the only bird that can renew its youth and strength. It can live up to 100 over years.
Each of us go forth to take over the land and inherit what belongs to us in Christ
Our highest calling is hearing Jesus
He is the One who send us out
Smaller eagle is facing Jesus as we fly
Our eyes are on Him. We listen to Him and we are given that strength above all lies
How do you move as you to the promise land?
The year 2021 we conquering back all that belongs to us, especially the souls. Our attach is to Jesus, not the souls
The Holy Spirit the tongues is for us to connect with Jesus
All of us shall soar high and the eyes sharp and focus on Him
How shall they call if they did not hear the invitation of His Words?
Go forth and tell where still the darkness lies: in wealth or want, the sinner surely dies: give us, O Lord, concern of heart and mind, a ℓσνє like yours which cares for all mankind.
Go forth and tell! The doors are open wide: share God’s good gifts let no one be denied: live out your life as Christ your Lord shall choose, your ransomed powers for his sole glory use.
It takes only one step. The simple step of faith
Whatever role God has given us, we just need to cross over.
Go into 2021 and not look at the past
God has placed us in Heaven on earth to move forward
No one will be left behind or step into the past.
Our eyes on Jesus always looking forward
Doors are opened wide. Use the imagination
Take what belongs to us
Listen to the Word of God
Arise ! Is a new day!
You cannot see the horizon !
The eagle is not limited by anything
Jesus has already conquered. Just come up.
There is limitless possibilities
God brings us day by day to realise that.
Go forth and tell! O church of God, arise!
Go in the strength which Christ your Lord supplies; go till all nations his great name adore and serve him, Lord and king for evermore
Jesus is depicted as the eagle!
He wants us to fly above everything
God has already conquered for us
This is the rest. We have rest inside without strife
Ephesians 3:20
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,
The eagle sees very far.
We have the eyes of eagle in our imagination
The pictures we see are already in the bible.
God has already given us the ability
Ask of Me and i will give you nations
God said nations!
You just name it!
Start to have the imagination
Mark 16:15-16 TPT
15 And he said to them, “As you go into all the world, preach openly the wonderful news of the gospel to the entire human race! 16 Whoever believes the good news and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe the good news will be condemned.
Mark 16:17-18 TPT
17 And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe: They will drive out demons in the power of my name. They will speak in tongues. 18 They will be supernaturally protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous. And they will lay hands on the sick and heal them.”
See this picture. See Jesus
Eagle look at Jesus
Eagle soars
Start to see
Miracles already inside your mind
Never let the devil intimate u
In the name of Jesus, devil get out
Keep on speaking and believing
Tongues is heavenly language
Demonic power cannot win over Jesus power
Healing can be instant.
Just stand on the Word of God
It is always His will for people to live
Mark 16:19-20
Christ Ascends to God’s Right Hand
(Luke 24:50–53)
So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
Don’t follow signs. Don’t be discouraged by the sense realm
