Sermon note (2nd svc)
– Pastor Prince
Pray in the spirit, pray in tongues
The banquet is free for taking, but it cost Jesus.
There are people who are angry with God but God is not the source of their troubles.
Jesus has come to give us life and life more abundantly!
Celebrities who are young, rich, famous, but they have depression and even taken their lives. There is still empty feeling even when they are famous, rich. This cause depression
Emptiness within.
It is not true that more money means more satisfaction.
The devil come to steal, kill and destroy.
Everything good that are stolen from you is not God, is the devil.
There are more angels than there are demon.
The throne of God is covered by these cherubs
Cherubs that cover the mercy seats
When God made the Arch Angels, He created intelligent form
Psalms 89:14
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of God’s throne.
The slightest reversal of perfect righteousness and justice, God’s throne is overturned and foundation destroyed.
God won’t. Demon thought God will compromise His righteousness because God loves man.
Mercy seats and cherubs are one piece of gold.
Demon is aiming towards God and to take God’s place in His throne.
He was the highest created being.
The devil does not understand grace
Grace is the only antidote against satan.
It has nothing got to do with me, but all about God’s grace.
Christ comes as a Man.
Hebrews 2:14-15
Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Jesus was the Only Baby born to die! Die in our place! Die instead of us.
Jesus came so that through death He might destroy him (the devil) who had the power of death.
There is no power in his own authority, but he enforced God’s.
Through death, Jesus destroyed him who had the power of death.
Now we are on resurrection ground.
We experience perfect peace like never before.
We are resurrected inside.
By the power of resurrection.
Fear of death is the mother of all fears.
Jesus in His death set us free from the fear of death.
Destroy him is not put him out of existence. Is put him of no effect.
When God blesses the head of the family, God blesses the entire family.
God said to Noah, you (singular) is righteous. But his family was blessed as well.
If God kills the devil, He would kill all the sinners. To destroy him is to destroy all mankind.
The devil is spirit being, so it is eternal.
God breathed into man and there is soul.
There must be a place to house man. That part of man came from the breath of God.
Jesus has completely stripped the power of the devil.
Jesus came to remove the fear of death.
When God sent His Son, His perfect righteousness took full note of all our sins, every sins, not one escape His eyes. They are all punished in Jesus Christ.
Jesus took all the sins from the past to the day we meet Jesus face to face. God is righteous in making us righteous!
Because of what Jesus did, God righteousness. Jesus died in our place! Amazing grace!
Jesus came to serve God. He humbled Himself. He took the form of a Servant.
The death of a cross.
God gave Jesus the name above every name. At the name of Jesus, every knee bows!
Everything in heaven, fully satisfied.
The law was magnified and fulfilled at the cross.
Man’s death towards God
All our deserving of death, sickness, all cancelled, even though we deserve it.
At the name of Jesus, every knee bow.
In the name of Jesus, the demon would need to obey.
All kinds of bondage need to bow in the name of Jesus
Those in hell would have to bow and confess Jesus is the Lord. In hell there is no more hope.
God also respect law, justice.
Jesus was surrounded in the wilderness and tempted 40 days 40 nights and He still obey.
What is the devil doing in your lives today?
Pastor has observed that women who have gone thru divorce, many of them, sometime after that, come down with some mental disorder, or bad disease, esp breast cancer. More so for women than men.
Stress does not affect men as much as women. When a husband is abusive, the wife suffers more
The number one office of the devil not given by God, given by himself. He accuses. His name satan means prosecutor at law
1 Peter 5:8-9
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
As far as you are concern, keep him seeking.
Adversary – antidikos – an opponent in a lawsuit
You understand grace, u will be holy by accident.
You touch water you touch wet.
Holiness is not for show. It is sometimes you and the Lord.
Hiding is not humility.
True humility is giving all the glory to the Lord
This is the Fruit of the spirit
The word satan is the word accuser.
Jesus is also an Advocate
Revelation 12:10-11
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Blood means there is death.
This is divine blood.
The blood of Jesus. The blood gives us the rights.
The blood of Jesus glorifies God’s throne.
Jesus went to heaven with His own blood. He sanctified some parts of heaven with His blood.
Why did Jesus sanctify some parts of heaven?
When satan came and accused Job, that position was Adam. Adam bowed his knees to satan. He could accused man with his position.
Now is redeemed ground! The devil has no more access to heaven now.
We make sure we talk about the blood. Cover your family with the blood of Jesus.
Blood has a voice.
Cover yourself with the blood of Jesus. Cover your dream with the blood of Jesus.
In the name of Jesus i draw a blood line in the room. The devil cannot cross the blood line of Jesus.
The devil is called accuser. Accusation is not just to make you feel bad. Accusation there is a sentence to it. To make you feel guilty
The devil will not give you full lie.
The blood of Jesus has settled it!
Something has not dropped from brain to heart when you are fearful.
With the accusation comes sentence.
Sin and sin offering in Hebrew word is the same word.
When there is sin involved, there is sin offering involved too.
When you see Jesus as the sin offering, your conscience knows it is been paid for.
But if you don’t relate it to the cross when you have sin, something someone has to pay for it.
Your body should not be fighting against itself.
Romans 14:22-23
Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.
Romans 8:34
Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
He is making intercession for us! There is no condemnation for believers.
Happy is he who does not condemn himself
Eat from faith. Whatever is not from faith is sin.
Heavenly light is better than any light in the whole world.
If you doubt when you eat, it comes under sentence.
God does not want us to be condemned. God does not want us to die before our time.
In the world is normal to be sick.
In Christ, we live long and not sick.
When we sin, there will be sin offering. Offer the health of body, or relationship
When you eat, expect not to be fat and unhealthy.
When you feel guilty, you are accepting the sentence.
The defence is the gospel. I am the righteousness of God in Christ!
Answer with a legal answer. I am the righteousness of God in Christ !
The divine exchange took place at the cross.
Eat from faith.
When you eat in faith, everything at you will be at peace.
Diet – without the cross, you are in trouble.
Exercise and eating well is important.
Listen to the spirit.
When you are young, you understand hunger and fullness.
You eat what you want, but when you feel full, stop it.
Jesus healed everyone who was oppressed by the devil.
You cannot use natural things to fight supernatural being.
God told Noah that he should eat meat after the flood.
1 Peter 5:8-9
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
The devil wants you isolated.
The devil likes to isolate people.
We are more connected in social media but less in touch. We are not communicating.
Do you feel dark thoughts on you?
You need the brotherhood/sisterhood, not lone ranger.
Pray for each other.
Get connected. When you share, something happens. Half the burden is lifted when you start sharing.
Stand tall and say i am the righteousness of God in Christ
Galatians 3:23-25
But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Justified by faith. No longer under law.
God is satisfied on what Jesus did at the cross. Jesus did the perfect work! He became my sin and I took His righteousness.
Righteousness is to declare us justified.
If a accuser accuse someone falsely, the whole thing falls back on the accuser.
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
An Invitation to Abundant Life
Righteousness results in peace of mind, health
Many a time devil uses people to accuse you.
