Sermon Note
Pastor Prince
15 is the number of rest. Which is grace grace grace. Everytime God talks about the 7 feast of Israel, He started on the 1st one.
The Sabbath rest must come first before we celebrate anything.
You cannot work unless you know how to rest.
You cannot celebrate without knowing how to rest.
David cried more than Jonathan
The whole world today still reject Jesus Christ. We are like the mighty men follow David. They came to him in his rejection. They did not go to him when he was king.
Many came to David were Gentiles
Psalms 51:6
Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
When you flow with God is always path of abundance
Wisdom gives you these-
Length of days
Riches
Health
Left hand –
Riches and honor
Proverbs 3:13-17
Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies,
And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
Length of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
His paths are pleasant and peace
We are following Him
God asked Solomon what He shall give him
What are you after when you gamble?
You want whet the win can give you
Is it the money you want?
You are after what the money can give you
Health does not come from medication
Health comes from the Lord
This is what you want –
Peace in your family relationship
Well being
God can bypass everything and give you what you want.
What can a man has unless God first give to him?
With people is more blessed to give than to receive
With God is more blessed to receive
It takes more grace to learn to receive
Wisdom is in the heart
1 Kings 3:9-10
Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”
The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
In the Hebrew, a hearing heart
1 Kings 10:23-24
So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Now all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Ezekiel 36:26
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Your heart is now a new heart. God has put wisdom in the heart
The right brain supposed to be more creative
Left brain is more logical and analytical
God speaks in the gentle stillness
Meditation with the Lord is the time that the Lord speaks to our heart.
What God speaks is more important than we talking to God
Be in tune with what He says.
Find time for your root life
Calm down. Your stress level will come down too
Take time for contemplation
When God speaks, things happen. Good things.
2 Corinthians 3:3
clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
You are a living walking moving letter of Christ
The Philistines are envious of Issac
Ephesians 1:17-18
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
The light comes on your understanding
Your understanding has eyes
Which part of your mind has eyes?
The brain is physical the mind is not.
The mind of the heart
Eyes of your understanding “dianoia”
Jesus is the Saviour of the world
Flood light into the eyes of your understanding
You need God’s wisdom
Mark 2:5-12
When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
See clearly and fully
The kingdom of God operates on the opposite
Make sure you enjoy the journey. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly
Jesus perceive. That is seeing on the inside.
We perceive in the spirit and not in the mind.
The experience and the experts can fall for scam. One thing they cannot touch is when you perceive.
Jesus perceive. They reason.
Your brain can grow.
It is more important you see it than you understand it first.
You see it before you can explain to other people.
Stop trying to explain to your friends or colleagues the things of God
Mind against mind.
Speak to the heart.
There is life beyond the grave.
God made a new covenant with us.
Hebrews 8:7-13
A New Covenant
(Jer. 31:31–34)
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
The life within will tell you to love
The love of Christ constrain us
You feel compassion
Let the love of Christ teach you when to give and when not to give.
I will put My laws in their mind – dianoia
We are depending so much on people’s advise.
God will still lead you
Stay under the writing
Guidance comes from within
Your spirit is faster than the mind
Most women perceive and men reason
Eat honey. Honey is sweet.
Follow the spirit. And you are free from stress.
Listen to the spirit. Look out there.
When you go back, it becomes a flow.
All His paths are peace. When we follow Him means we follow the paths of peace.
We need confirmation from outside but not direction
We look defend-less but we have the God of universe
There is safety in the church
When you give, give through the church.
What you heard outside only confirm what you have inside
Start being more conscious of that in all your doing.
When you first learn to walk you fell down.
We get up and walk again. Don’t be discouraged.
No one needs to teach you in the new covenant how to know the Lord. You know it.
1 John 2:26-27
These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
The key to Jesus’ saying. Abide in Him. We will bear more fruits, much fruits.
Let your logic serve you. Don’t let your logic lead you. Be more conscious of the spirit leading you
