The new covenant
is not about right doing. It's about right believing. Right believing will always
produce right living. If you want to see the miraculous, you got to believe that
your sins are forgiven. The new covenant is not
like the old covenant. God himself is the active one. "I'll be their God, they
shall be my people." "If they are poor and
they're lacking," "I'll be their supply and they shall
be truly enriched." "If they're sick, I'll be their God." "That means I'll be their healing
God and they shall be a healed people." And then finally,
what's your part? Your part is to believe
all His "I wills." Good morning, church. Are you ready to
hear some good news? Praise Lord. Good. Start a Sunday morning
with some good news. Some praise reports from our brothers
and sisters in church and around the world. Right? The first testimony, I
have two testimonies to share with you. The first testimony comes to us from a
sister from South Korea and she writes that I have been suffering from atopic
dermatitis, also known as eczema. For a long time, almost my entire life. I couldn't sleep well at
night because of the itch. My skin would get swollen
and red, and as a result, I often avoided new social networks
as I didn't have confidence to go out. That means you didn't have confidence
to make friends. On one day, God led me to learn about the holy communion through
Pastor Princess ministry. So I started to partake of the holy
communion regularly for a period of more than three years. After some time
I got frustrated and angry at God. I complained to him asking,
why is my healing not coming? And why do you heal everyone except me? It reached a point where
I was disappointed and decided to give up hope all together and stop partaking of
the holy communion. However, the Sunday that followed, pastor Prince preached about
Neiman the leper and said, what if Neiman had stopped dipping to
the pool at the fourth or fifth time? Instead of completing it seven
times as instructed by Isha, he might not see the
result. So don't give up. I knew God was speaking to me through
Pastor Prince and it restored my faith. I started to partake
of the holy communion again. About a year later, I felt the Lord
telling me that my healing was coming. Then one day miraculously,
all the symptoms of atopic dermatitis is a breakout,
but it's not that serious. Atopic dermatitis, including
redness, itchiness, burning, sauna, crusting, and oozing
on my skin were gone. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.
Let's give Jesus a praise. And she ends all by saying, praise the
Lord Jesus. He never gave up on me. Now even people are amazed and they
compliment me that and saying that my skin looks like a baby skin. God
has made my skin even better. Praise the Lord.
Hallelujah. Right. Church, before I share the second testimony, for those of us who have been regularly
attending church for some time, you would know that Pastor Prince
has often mentioned, therefore, certain conditions, we need to go back to the doctor to get
it checked and for the doctor to verify the healing. And then after the
doctor has verified the healing, you can write into us and
share reverse your testimony. So this is one such testimony
from a brother from Singapore. He writes that one
Saturday, a few months ago, I had arranged to meet my wife
after her seminar while waiting, I worshiped and prayed in the Holy Spirit
and then suddenly my mind went blank. So just to clarify, it's not because yours worshiping
and praying the Holy Spirit, his mind went blank. It's just
suddenly went blank. All right. The next thing I knew, I was at a bus interchange with no
recollection of how I got there. Somehow I had managed to call my wife and tell
her my location. When she arrived, I was still in a daze. Jesus brought to mind my wife's name
and face so that I could recognize her. Imagine you can't recognize your wife. So he was able to recognize
the wife and her name as well. But I couldn't recall anyone
else, not even my children. When we got home, my wife and daughter prayed for
restoration and healing of my memory. I started to recall things
bit by bit. During this time, only the Lord Jesus remained clear in
my mind and I continued praying the Holy Spirit. That evening I visited the doctor. By then my memory had returned to normal. Although the doctor suspected a mild
stroke or early dementia by God's grace, the initial diagnosis was inconclusive
and there were no more incidents During the week. The following week, some church leaders also prayed
for me and as Sunday service, the following week, pastor Prince
called out for memory loss conditions. During a time of ministering,
he prayed and declared healing, which my family and I claimed
in Jesus' name. Subsequently, I underwent a series of medical tests. The initial result showed
high blood pressure And an electrocardiogram
suggested a heart attack. The doctor couldn't give a conclusive
diagnosis about the memory loss. We rejected the negative reports, prayed and believed that
Jesus had already healed me. I sought a second opinion from
a cardiologist. By Jesus grace, he found the cardiologist found no
problems with my heart. Hallelujah. What could have been a devastating
diagnosis turned into a testimony of Jesus protection and healing. Throughout this
journey, two things remain constant. Putting Jesus first and the importance
of praying the Holy Spirit through his grace, his hand guided and
protected me every step of the way. Praise Lord for these wonderful
testimonies. Hallelujah. Just yesterday when I came across this
verse, during my time of preparation, the Lord gave me this verse. A
joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones. Now, we are familiar with the old King James
because we are always sing the song Mary High Do of good, like a mad, like a mad is a merry heart, a broken spirit, dry of the bones. But a mer high is the joy of the Lord. So the Bible says clearly, a
merry heart is good medicine. I look at the word medicine in
Hebrew is the word for heal is healing. It is medicine
that brings a heal. Okay, so when you look at that verse,
I was looking at the verse yesterday, and the Lord said to me, many people
take this verse as a psychological soothing idea of a mery heart, but it doesn't do anything
for you physically in terms of healing your body and all that. But that's not what
the verse is. The verse says, A merry heart does good like
medicine. So keep yourself always. And that's the reason why the Apostle
Paul in the book of Ephesians says, keep yourself filled with the spirit
by speaking to yourself in Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Keep
a happy heart, keep attuned. Amen. Wherever you go, sing to yourself. And that's what I did also when I would
be on my holiday or whatever here and there. When I'm alone, I would just be singing in the
spirit and I find myself just in a higher realm than before
I started singing. When you are joyful, you find yourself rising up
like an eagle with wings like an eagle. Amen. And you're not so prone to the precious and the enticements and temptations to be angry, to be shot fuse and to be impatient, just that. But when the song stops,
it's not just the song stops. The spirit in filling starts to cease. That's when you get into all these earthy. Do you find that true when you're singing
and you are just keeping a mery heart? And not only that, but what
God is saying to me was this, that a lot of people think it's a
soothing thing like a soothing ointment, emotional therapy. But
it's more than that. If you have heart disease or you have a
condition, I know of a man who actually, I forgot his name now, but actually he was diagnosed with
a physical condition and it is verifiable medically and it
just can get worse and worse. So what happened is that
the doctor says, not here, and I think it's a heart
condition as well. One of them, he took a bunch of funny videos back then.
They watched VHS and he locked himself up
and just watch it all day. When he went back to the doctor, the doctor says the condition that
used to be there is no longer there. So a merry heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the
bones. That's osteoporosis, right? Your bones become brittle and dry. Amen. So it is because of aging or because
not enough calcium or things like that. But the Bible says is a broken spirit. And the same book of wisdom tells us
what causes a broken spirit that dries up the bones. It says by sorrow of the heart. In another verse, by sorrow of the heart, the bones or your spirit
is dried up by sorrow of the heart is the spirit dried.
So don't have sorrow of heart. It's the opposite of being
happy, being joyful. Amen. And when you're happy in your
heart, you must notify your face because joy is a flag flown high in
the castle of my heart when Jesus, the king is in residence there, amen. Smile neighbor and smile
big and tell your neighbor, I've got joy. Amen. You're married
to one. You can even say louder. I've got joy. Praise the Lord. There is a verse in the New Testament
that actually says the sorrow of the world works. Death. Have you read that before? The sorrow of the world works death.
It works death in your emotions, it works death in your mind. That's when you are more prone
to forgetfulness and diseases of such nature. Death in your body of course can
manifest in disease and all that, but it's the worldly sorrow.
Godly sorrow is okay. Godly sorrow is when you realize that, oh, I miss God on that and I'm
so sad that I miss God. Right? And then you endeavor by the
grace of God not to do that again. That's okay. In fact, the verse is Godly
sorrow is working out a repentance, but the worldly sorrow works death. So endeavor, by the grace of God to
be joyful, have a song in your heart, have a tune in your heart. Amen.
Simple tune. Praise the Lord. Alright, so last week we talk about
how living in the upper room, Jesus actually in the
upper room the last night before he was arrested and brought to
trial and then was crucified the next day. You know that some of the statements
that a person would make before he knows that he's going to die the next day
will be the most important statements, right? And unfortunately, the church world has emphasized
more on the Sermon on the Mount. It was also on a mount than the Sermon
on Mount Zion, which is the upper room. And we saw them here about the
sermon in the upper room. Now, by all means we should study and
read on the sermon on the mound. But what I'm saying is that there's a lot
of teaching on the sermon on the mound instead of the sermon on Mount Zion, which is actually the highest
pinnacle of the mountain in the mountains of Jerusalem, right? Jesus brought them up to Mount
Zion where the Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost, right? Mount
Zion in the same room. It was dead that Jesus unveiled
to them. New creation realities, church truths. Amen. The new covenant, how we are no longer under the old
Covenant, but under the new covenant, the sermon, a lot of it is preached to also Jewish
people where Jewish context is a new edition of the commandments and the law. So actually when Jesus
touched Onnon Mount, there are some things we
extract that into Christianity, into a Christian life also. We find
that in the episodes and all that. But the whole thing is actually the
Constitution of the kingdom of heaven that he's supposed to bring when the
Jewish people would accept him as the mask Messiah. But unfortunately
they didn't. They rejected him. But as many as receive him, that's all of you. The damn gave
He power to become sons of God. So we can leave the life of the
upper room, praise the Lord. And we've come to the place
where in the upper room, he's such teaching on the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit is
not a foreign subject. It is not something that the
Jewish people did not know about. In the Old Testament, they experience
even their heroes of faith, the power of the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit only came on
three groups of people, the prophet, the priest, and the king.
But in the New Testament, it comes on all of us. Hallelujah
and indwells us. In fact, in the upper room, Jesus says, he
will be with you. No, he's with you. He was with them all the time doing all
the miracles that the disciples even did with Jesus. Amen. Casting
out demons, healing the sick. And they went two by two commissioned
by Jesus and they did all kinds of miracles. But the Holy Spirit
at that time was only on them, not in them. So Jesus says He who is
with you will be in you. That's a first. That is a new altogether,
a new thing. He was never in them. Why? That tells us that the blood
of Jesus has washed us all so clean that God's holy
Spirit can indwell you. And how long does he indwell
you? If you read that verse, he says He's with you
and he will be in you for now until your next sin,
until your next stumble, until your next whatever.
No, he's with you forever. So that tells us when the disciples, the 12 apostles were with
Jesus by the shores of Galilee in Jerusalem, as they were doing the
miracles of Jesus through them, through the power of the Holy Spirit,
there was only the Holy Spirit on them. Just like the Holy Spirit came on. Sorry, I was going to say Samson and on
David and all the rest, alright? And on the prophet, priest
and king in the Old Testament, he was only on them.
It's not in them. Amen? So the insight is not dealt with
and the real man is not dealt with. So that tells us that during the three
and a half years ministry of Jesus on earth, the disciples
were followers of Jesus. But they were not new creation people. They were not believers. Do you
understand? They believe on Jesus, but not the believers in the sense
that you and I today we are born again. If any man be in Christ, he's a new
creation. All things that passed away, all things have become new. And
the Holy Spirit indwells you. Do you know the Holy Spirit in
you? Do you know how clean you are? Not for God's Holy Spirit will indwell
you. You are the temple of God. Amen. And the temple of God is
always clean, is always glorious, is always healthy. Amen? Always. It's only when they start worshiping
idols and worshiping out the God and all that, that God calls the
temple to come into ruin. Amen. That tells us when our
bodies, no, you're not. Your bodies at the temple of the Holy
Spirit comes in the ruin is because we have lost our focus. We have lost our
centrality of Christ in our lives. We are probably worshiping something
else in our hearts and minds. So that tells us, and by the way, everything the temple is also
prosperous and healthy stuff. No cheap stuff. Amen. So God says,
your temple of the Holy Spirit, don't think for one moment, oh my
goodness, can I contain God or not? No. That means you're going
to live the best life. There's a verse in the Old Testament,
which is a reality for all of us. If you are willing and obedient, you
shall eat the good of the land. Amen. It's God's the prophet dream of that.
They dream to become like one of you. Do you know that even David,
the Bible says like this, I'm quoting from Romans chapter four. David described the blessedness
of the man in the future. David is the king and the prophet, and he has the Holy Spirit on him and by
the Holy Spirit on him. He wrote many, many Psalms, many songs, but he looked into the future and
he saw a group of people that he describes.
I'm recording now from Romans four, even as David describes the
blessedness, and it's plural by the way, the blessedness of the
man unto whom God imputes righteousness without works. All of you saying Ade, whose sins are forgiven?
Whose iniquity is covered. And then blessed is the man to
whom the Lord will not impute sin. So he's describing the blessedness of
the man to whom God imputes righteousness without works. And now he's saying God will never, ever impute sin to you. Does that mean that there's no sin in
your life? No. This side of heaven, there's no such thing
sinless perfection. Amen. But God will not impute
your sin to you. Amen. Now, straight away the flesh response is this. And that's where a lot of
people misunderstand the gospel and they misunderstand me as well because the flesh always wants
to steady the arc of God. Do you want to put up the arm of
flesh to study the arc? God does not need your arm of
flesh to study the arc. Amen. The gospel itself is foolproof, which I'm going to show you right
now presently I'm going to show you. But the thing is this, you need to know
that God will never give you something that will cause harm to you or
cause his name to be tarnished or blaspheme. No way. But the first thing God
wants you to know is this, that all your sins are forgiven.
David described, you see David, his sin was forgiven, but his sin
was forgiven on a piecemeal basis. When he's sin, he has to bring an offering and
then he has to wait on the Lord to accept the offering, which is a picture
of Jesus, the lamb without blemish. And then God pronounce the forgiveness.
And not only that, under all covenant, their sins were covered, not
taken away. But when Jesus came, John the Baptist saw Jesus by the
banks of the river Jordan and he said, behold the lamb of God who
takes away the sin of the world. So in other words, all the forgiveness of sins in the Old
Testament is like your visa card payment. Amen. It's not the real payment by
the way. It's not the real payment. I just let you know it's
actually like those sins in the past. It is pushed forward to the payment day. You still have to pay. Amen. So Jesus came and he's the lamb of God, the true lamb of which all the other
lambs are only shadows and pictures of figures of He's the true lamb that
takes away the sin of the world. Amen. Amen. Praise the Lord. So when you look at this perspective, you realize that it's so much
better to live where we are now after the cross because we
are the fulfillment. The reality of David's dream, when
he prophesied, he saw all of us. I see a bunch of people, God gives them
righteousness without their efforts, without their works. Wow. Their sins
are all forgiven. You know something, even when they blow it, God
will never impute sin to them. And now God does not treat
them as if they're sinners. God doesn't deal with
them based on their sin. God deals with them based on his son's
righteousness. Jesus righteousness. God does not deal with them
based on sin, but on the sun. Wow, I wish I was that kind of person
because when I sin I have to bring a lamb. Every time I sing I got to bring a
lamb. And sometimes God still punish me, but is tempered with mercy because
Old Testament is not a fool. It's not a completeness like what
we have today. When David's sin, God dealt with him. Amen. He lost
one son. So some people say, look, God can forgive your sins,
but you might lose something. You ever had that thought? I had that thought when I was growing
up and it caused fear in my heart. They forget that David wasn't describing
himself when he says that God impeded righteousness without works. David was
still under the law. And under the law. David was under two death
sentence. He committed adultery. There was a death sentence under the
law and nothing he committed murder. So there were two death
sentence over his head. But one thing about David is David
is I described him like this. He's an old covenant man
with a new covenant mindset. He saw the future. So he
reached out to God and said, God have mercy upon me. Oh God, according to the multitude
of your loving kindness, have mercy upon me.
Psalms 51, the prayer he prayed after he commit
those sins and God was mercyful, God says in the sense that God said
through the prophet Nathan to him, you will not die, but this will happen.
This will happen to your family, this will happen to your family. So people think when they read that story
that that is true for all of us. Also, no, listen carefully. That is how God deals with
sin under the old covenant. He forgives, but there are consequences. Now today there are some things
that are a consequence. For example, you got to bat lung because of your
constant smoking down to the years. Once you're safe, God
forgives you all your sins, your lungs still have the problem.
That's only what consequence. But punishment direct
from God, never again. You understand David?
Even David's you call it, some people call it chastisement.
Actually it's punishment, but it was tampered with mercy. This part
of heaven, yes we have chastises men, but is the way a father
would chastise a child. A father doesn't go to a child and say,
sit out there in the driveway. Okay, I'm going to teach you how dangerous
it is to play by the roadside. I told you many times don't play by
the roadside right now. Lie down there. Then he reversed in his
driveway over his son's legs. You hear the sound or something breaking
and the child is crying. No, come here, come here. I was chastising you to teach you a
lesson not to play by the roadside. What do you think about such
fathers? We'll put them in prison. And yet some Christians say their bones
were broken because God was teaching them a lesson. Nobody wants your God. No my friend. But is the word
chastisement there? Yes. In Hebrews 12, but the word there is
pa deal is the word pa. Deal pail is where you get
the English word pediatrician. It's got a word child there.
It's the word child training. Amen. And how do you train your
child? Most of the time with words. But then there's correction going
on. Why? Because you love the person. So is that correction in
new covenant? Yes there is, but all our sins are forgiven. And when that is weak we find
that we get into problems. And that's where I want to call your attention because
many of you know what I'm preaching. Many of you have
heard me share all this before. But the problem is that we
believe it. We know it well. When push comes to shove in our heart
of hearts, we don't really believe it. Plus there are also voices from
outside that don't believe the gospel of grace in his purity
that are saying things that no way God is that good. No way
are you forgiven of all your sins. Lemme tell you this, your sins
are all forgiven, past, present, and future until the day you see
Jesus face to face or you passed on whichever comes first. Amen. All your lifetime of
sins has been forgiven. When the Bible says in home we
have say we have not trying to get it, not hoping for it in the future
that will possess it. No, we have it. And the word there is a present tense
in the great we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, plural according to the riches
of his grace. We have it, but we don't believe it
lasted. Last week, my son, a few weeks ago, he came down with a
viral fever that lasted for eight days. And in the initial part of the first
part, when he was having the problem, I prayed with him. I did all
kinds of, but he turned to me, I think it was the second day or
first day, he said to me, Abba, did this happen to me
because I broke the lamb. So earlier that week before he fell sick, he was kicking the ball in his
room and he hit the ball too high and he hit the lamb. The
lamb broke into smothering. He was referring to that.
Did this happen? Now he's brought up in a house
full of grace. We don't anyhow, just go around saying, God will get you for that or your
sin will find you out something. But yet there's something in
him. What is it? The flesh. It's either the flesh or the enemy.
The flesh is from within. Right? From your flesh. Deep down is the Holy
Spirit always The flesh is still you. They're part of you. Lemme explain about
the flesh. Okay? When I say the flesh, I don't mean the body, the flesh in the book of Romans and
also impulse writings usually refer to the part of you that wants to sin. Do you realize that after you're born
again you are a new creation in Christ, you are the righteousness of God in
Christ created in righteousness and true holiness. But your flesh is still
there. You still want to do wrong. You want to think wrong. You want
to feel wrong. I know I don't. I should not be angry at this person,
but I just to It cannot. Alright? Never. Yeah, yeah. Never. Okay,
but you are not the flesh. Please understand you have
the flesh. For example, if I have a piece of splinter
in my finger, it's in my finger. It's literally in my flesh.
But I'm not Mr. Wooden. I'm not a block of wood. Amen. Alright. But I do have a piece of wood in my flesh. So when Adam's sin, that flesh has that sin
has stained our flesh. But Jesus made provision for
that as well at the cross. Not only he bo our sins,
that means what we do. The sinful actions and deeds
plural, he bo our sins. The Bible says he also died to our sin in the flesh. And that's found in Romans chapter eight
verse four and five. If you read that, it says that God standing his own
son in the lightness of sinful flesh, he never had sinful flesh, but he came in the lightness of you and
I in the lightness of sinful flesh and for sin that sin in the
flesh, that splinter, that sin in the flesh for sin. God condemned sin in the flesh
at the cross in his body. He dealt not just with sins, what are the products
of our sinful nature, but he also dealt with a
factory. The source sin itself. Now when he God condemned something,
listen, when he God condemned something, it doesn't exist anymore in his eyes. But the problem is that to our sense, experience our senses to our experience, it's so real. But in God's
eyes it has been condemned. It's normal in existence. Are
you listening to what I'm saying? On we are to walk by faith. Amen. In agreement with God. So whenever sinful natures arise in
us, we just have to agree with God, there's not me. I'm actually dead to it. Are you with me so far? And that can only come when you have
an understanding of your sins are all completely forgiven because
Christian still deal with this. They're so sin conscious,
they end up singing. Amen. And you don't have to teach
a child to be seen conscious. They are naturally sin conscious. No one is naturally
righteousness conscious. Amen. Look at Jesus how he lived
his life. He never had sin. Consciousness. Of course you can
see he'd never sin. Yeah, correct. But look at the way he walked. There's
a sureness in everything that he does. There is a definiteness in all his steps. He never have to recall a word.
He never have to apologize, never have to. There's
no sin, there's no fault. He never have to retrace a step. When he stood before Lazarus
tomb, there is no hesitancy. There is no one dream if God
will answer or not. Amen. When he prayed, he says like this, father, I thank you that you'll hear me always
and it's for the sake of the people around that I say out loud that I say
out that they may know you have sent me Lazarus in Hebrew kumi and the date came
forth like that elevated. Because in those days they bind
the date body, the cops, they wrap him up completely like
a mommy right in the linen cloth. There's no way if he
just fainted after that, he should die on after being kept
there for four days. Sure. Alright. Down there, no movement.
So when Jesus come forth, literally his body was elevated. That's
what's going to happen. The rapture, when Jesus calls on us, come
here, we'll be elevated. After all, he put the law of gravity
and the force of gravity in place, he can reverse it. A miracle is nothing more than a reversal
of natural laws and God can do it because he put the loss in
there in the first place. Amen are with me so far. But where all the crux of the whole
thing is forgiveness of sin. You say, pastor, I'm struggling. Don't understand.
I'm struggling with fear, pastor, I'm struggling with worry,
I'm struggling with stress. Don't you read the papers? Have you not seen what they're
putting out there in social media? It's cost me a lot of stress. What's
going to happen? You see, stress, fear, and worry has got to do with the
future. What if this happens? What if I fall sick? What if this pain I feel is
worse than what I really think? What if then regret and
guilt is always got to do with the past. If only if only this
happened, if only I didn't do that. If only I invested in this
battle. If only I don't do that. If I only only it's
gone. Hello, it's gone. Let it go. You are now here and God
is never known as the God of the future or the God of the past. He says I am that I am. So those who say that God doesn't
do miracles today anymore, alright? Healing is all in the past. They do not know the I am that I am
when tomorrow comes he's going to be I am that I am. And you know what his son told all of us
on the sermon amount. He told all of us leave one day at a time.
Don't worry about tomorrow. Don't worry about tomorrow.
Well Pastor Prince, don't you know those who
failed to plan, plan to fail? God did not say don't plan.
Right? He did not say don't plan. You go for holidays. Some of you're going for holidays soon
and you probably finished planning your planning. Now, nothing
wrong with planning, but the anxiety and the fear
and the busyness and the hurry. I think it was Hal Young, the famous psychiatrist who said
that Harry is not of the devil. Harry is the devil. If Harry is the devil
and Harry and dizzy is of the devil, then slow is of Jesus rhythm of grace. Jesus move
in the rhythm of grace. It takes someone that God is
working with in the area of fear, worry and care to teach
you something like this. Amen. I don't have it all together. I'm telling you I have to
learn this from the Lord. I'm still learning this from the Lord. One of the worst things about writing
a book called Live the Let Go Life is that your family members remind you. My son tells me live the let go life. Man. My wife tells me time
to read your book again and we are not just Superman,
none of the pastors are. We have to learn and sometimes
we also lose the revelation. That's why I'm teaching you all this. I'm not asking you whether you heard me
preach on this, whether you know this, but whether you still believe it today, perhaps you have heard other voices and
this is crucial because if you tell me things like Pastor, I
don't really know God, then I can just tell you straight away
that you don't really believe your sins are all forgiven, past,
present, and future. If you tell me that pastor
God speaks to people, I see them being led by the
Lord, but God never speaks to me. I don't feel the intuition in me. Well it's not because you
don't have the capacity here, but because you don't believe
your sins are forgiven. That's where your problems
start. That's the root problem. You say that I don't see God
doing miracles in my life. God said I'll be your God
and you shall be my people. It's because you don't believe
your sins are forgiven. So we come back again to the new covenant.
We don't understand the new covenant. We understand the old covenant people
understand the 10 Commandments very well. Plus we have a movie on the 10 Commandments but no
movie on the new covenant. So maybe new creation. Check be the first one to have a
movie on the new covenant. Amen. We are already actors, right? So let's go back to the new covenant
and let's do a scroll again. We end off with this last week. 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, God says a new covenant.
Then in the book of Hebrews, you find this new covenant
mentioned first in Jeremiah 31 by prophet Jeremiah and
then in Hebrews chapter eight, the book of Hebrews. So you
have it both in Hebrew and in Greek. So in the book of Hebrews he says,
whenever God says something is new, that means the previous has become old. If your husband brings back a lady
and tells you, this is my new wife, you have become old. It's a bad
illustration, but he gets the point home. He wakes people up. When
you say something is new, that means the previous has become old.
So the Bible says that which is decaying is becoming old God.
When God says new covenant, the old covenant is now decaying
and becoming old. That's in the, I'm using the phrase that's found in
the book of Hebrews in talking about new covenant, nothing Bible says about
new covenant. It goes on to say, I'll make a new covenant right with
the house of Israel, house jail. Not according say, not according
up there. Say not according. According those watching online say
not according. It's not according yet. We act like it is an addendum to the old
covenant of the law. It is an addition. It is. We act like they're both are
supposed to going together. No God, this new covenant is not according
to the covenant that I made with Moses, with Charles Heston when I
brought them out of Egypt on Mount Sinai and the fire came on
Mount Sinai and God's voice was heard, do shall not kill. Remember that I feel like acting also right. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not bear false witness. Amen. And by the way, you cannot keep just one
and then say that you've kept the best. No, you must keep all you fill in one.
James says you fill in one commandment, you fill in all and he says,
remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. It's part
of the tan moments. Okay? So anyway, what we are saying is
not we go break the tan moment. That's what the flesh is
saying. They're so afraid. If you teach people forgiveness of
sins, their sins are all forgiven, past, present, and future. Right? Then you are saying essentially you're
saying we can go and sin go ahead and sin. But the thing is this,
who wants to say that? Who wants even to do that? When you know that God has
forgiven you of all your sins, you fall in love with
Jesus, you fall in love, the one that has forgiven you soul.
And when you fall in love with him, you fall out of love with sin. If your
wife tells you before you go on a trip, your wife says, listen,
I will always love you when I miss you. You always, I love
you when you come back. I love you. I'll always love you. Do you
turn around and say, yip, I can commit adultery. You are sick and honestly this is the rarity. Amen. That's the rarity to even suggest
that. But the fact remains, your sins are all forgiven. Hey, your
sins better be forgiven past, present, and future. Because you know something
else people talk about Christians, pastors, teachers, our future sins are
forgiven. That's heresy. That's not, Hey, your entire life, if you are born after
Jesus died and rose again, all your sins were future when Jesus died, think about it. Unless
you are 2000 years old. Because when Jesus died
on the cross, listen, the cross like God
himself is outside time. God took all the sins of the people in
the Old Testament all the way from Adam, his entire life of sins, God through all their sins that they
used the lamb as a picture of Jesus sacrifice only to cover like your visa
card under the PA came and then when Jesus came, God put all their sins on Jesus Christ
and then God reached out into the future because God is outside time. We cannot understand
because we are time bound. We are focused on time and space, but God is not is a lot of time
and space. He goes beyond it. Amen. He created time, his outside time, God looked into the future
of people not born yet. When Jesus was on the cross,
you were not even an idea. You better thank God your future
sins are all forgiven. So you God, reach out to all those who were born
after Jesus died and rose again. There's all of us all the way
until our time, 2000 years. So when God looks at you, God doesn't
say from the time you accept Jesus, when you are 17 years old until you are
45, now all your past sins are forgiven. From now on, you are forgiven as you
go. There's no such God forgave you. One sin for all God put your life of
sins just like he took entire lifetime of sin. And God put your entire life of sins on
Jesus Christ and every last one of them is judge paid for. That means you know have been forgiven
much. Does that produce holiness? It does. Amen. Those who are forgiven
much, we love him much. Who said this? Not Carl Young. Not any famous person today. Not any famous person in your
historical books. Jesus himself. Jesus doesn't believe all these anti
grace preachers who come against this teaching and say, yeah, they're just
helping people to steady the arc. God does not need your arm of flesh.
God wants to preach the truth. Our flesh wants to study it. You
preach like that and people say, I can go and sing just like a sick
man after the wife says, I love you, I can commit adultery. No, but if the wife comes to him like that
with restrictions and loss, listen, I tell you, don't think I'm not watching.
I'm not there, but I'm watching. I got my saucers. Okay, all right. Okay. I'll watch you in every move you make, every breath you take just to let you know I'll be watching
you. Right? How does a husband feel? Not that he wants to
commit adultery, not that, but which one do you think has a
chance of making him more faithful? You don't have the answer when you think about it. All your
sins are forgiven, past, present, and future. Look that bad thought
you had when I came up here just now, right? It's forgiven. Praise God. Yes. Now you can love me because when
you know you're forgiven, you love, it's just a response. Amen. So
in the new covenant, watch this, God gives three clauses
before he tells you the final costs. That produces the effects. So the three C clauses
are this. First of all, I'll put my laws in their hearts and
write them on their minds. Am I right? Correct. After not according to the covenant of
the law because they did not continue my covenant and I disregarded them. Notice they are cont contingent on God's
response and in the old covenant law because they did not continue. I did not regard notice that they were the determinant upon God's response. Okay, now watch, this is not according, the new covenant is not according to
the covenant. It's like this. God says, I will say I will. This is the
covenant I'll make with them. God says, I'll put my loss in their mind
and write them on their hearts. Can you say that I'll put my loss in
their minds and write them in their hearts. So who will
write? Who will put God right? Am I right? So where
is it going to put it? Your most intimate part
where your heart and mind. Your heart is the core of you, your heart
and mind. You'll know what God wants. You know how God leads you. So if you don't find that happening to
you that God doesn't lead you and he does it every day, you find that's not
strong, don't worry, hold your horses. There's a reason for it. So the next
thing, next clause is this. After he says, I'll put my laws in their he and
write them on their minds. God says, the next one is that I'll be the God and they shall be my people. Notice again the people God
and say they'll be my people. That means they must behave and act
like my people then I'll be their God. It is not like the old
covenant. Come on people. I'll be their God and they shall
be my people. If they are sick, I'll be the God. That means I'll be the healing
God and they shall be a healed people, a healthy people, a
strong people, young people. Amen. Vigorous people see that this term is used frequently
in the Old Testament and the context is always something miraculous. I'll be their God and they shall be
my people God. God say, I'll do this, I'll do this, I'll do this for them, not they do it and then I'll be their
God and they shall be my people. If they are poor and
they're lacking, amen. And they're dispossessed of their
inheritance, I'll be their God, I'll be their God redeemer, I'll be
their God and they shall be my people. I'll be their supply and they
shall be truly and rich. Amen. I'll be their God and they
shall be a peaceful people. That means I'm the Jehovah Shalom,
I'm the God of peace. Amen. You see that? So the second clause, right? So the first one is that he'll put his
guidance, his teaching, his instruction, his loss in your heart and mind.
Number two, he will be your God. That's a supernatural
element. Number three, none shall teach his
neighbor and none his brother saying, know the Lord for all shall know me
from the list of them to the creators of them. When I was young, I remember that there were seminars
and teachings on knowing God. So I want to know God. Right? When I went down there I realized that
the person teaching doesn't really know God. So this knowing God is by books and by hearing other people share
about God and no, no, no. This one is telling you there are two
words. Know the Lord for all shall know me. The first one is that you don't
have to teach people to know the Lord. The Greek word here because from Hebrews
in Greek New Testament it says gen say genal. Now geno is knowing someone by effort, by taking time to go for coffee with them, getting to know them by effort and by
experience by the way it says because it says in the Sep gen Old Testament
that Adam knew his wife in an intimate way and in the Greek
there he says, Adam Genco his wife. Then people say this is a very
intimate knowledge on the inside. It's not you study all the Greek scholars
on geno school. It's always geno. School is outside. It's about
effort, it's about experience, it's about learning from
books even. And anyway, that marriage act can be done by anyone.
Doesn't mean they have to be intimate, but in marriage God wants it to
be a reflection of the intimacy. But what is the true
word in the Greek for no, which is very intimate is this one. So
in that words, nacho teach his neighbor, none will teach his brother no God by
experience. No God by reading books. No God, by your own experiments,
even your own experience. No, no, no, no, no. Now we teach neighbor that you know why
all will know me from the least of the greatest all will Oda. Now we come to the word
so pronounced this right? But oda is another word for knowledge. The Greek has different
words for knowledge. This order is a knowledge of
just knowing on the inside. The Bible says from the least, if you think I'm just the least in the
church where God says I'll start with you, you're the first one that will
know me from the least to the greatest. It isn't like you have to start
from the lost. Last and least all will know me intuitively, all will know me intuitively
on the inside. See, many of you may come to this church, listen and you hear me
preach and share about grace. That's not the first
time you heard grace. No, you heard it inside you already. What I did was put into words
what you already knew in your spirit and then you say
that this resonates with me. I knew God was like that and
now I find someone who is able to put words that I cannot put words to, but I know this is the
God I see on the inside of me. I do not preach to you because
you know not the truth. I preach to you because
you know the truth. Wow. What a statement to say
this is from one John, I write to you not because not the truth. I write to you because you
know the truth. In other words, I'm speaking something that resonates
with something in your spirit. Your spirit on the inside
is faster than your mind. You ladies, many of you
God make you intuitive. I believe more intuitive than most men. That's why God had to make Eve because
Adam, God says E from the tree of life. Now God did forbid the tree
of the knowledge good in evil, but God did not forbid the tree of life. But for some reason he never
ate from the tree of life. So God created a woman to
point him the right way, but she listened to snake talk instead
of God talk and point him to the wrong tree. But he's one to be blamed because he
heard what God said and didn't tell her what God said. Amen. Women was created
because they're more intuitive. So women can look at a person just
met only for a while, the husband, well I met this guy the other day in a
convention and he has this great business plan and all that, and your wife bring
you one. Say, I am sorry darling, I just don't feel good about this person.
What do you mean you don't feel good? What's wrong with you woman? You have
just forgotten a very important rule. If you've been in new creation church, you have forgotten the teachings that
came from the appropriate a few Sundays ago. When you are wrong
and your wife is right, you are wrong and she's right. Okay. Amen. I don't feel
good. And she has no evidence. She has no proof. She just, children are very alive, wily children. They don't like you.
They don't like you. Stop telling them, Hey, be good to uncle. Smile to uncle. No. You don't want him to
smile to every uncle. Not every uncle that comes
to them is an uncle. Uncle, okay? It is good that they have this
concern about they can smell a rat. You see someone coming, oozing charm. Ladies can war music
playing in the background, sponsors flashing everywhere. Amen. His name is park and it overwhelms you. And
after you fall in love, it's easy to get anything from you.
Borrow money also can anything. Alright? But deep down in
your heart, if you are honest, deep down there's something was scratchy, something was telling you
red light you, you know that if you are born again, you are
a child of the new covenant, you have this on the inside. Amen. Right guys, what we would give if we had just
listened to our wive's advice, we pay $200 to attend a seminar by a
famous person to hear the very same advice we can get at home for free. But because we pay $200 more valuable.
You understand? Then the wife says, actually what he said is nothing
new. I told you before, hush woman, this is Mr. So-and-so professor,
so-and-so in it and all PhD, whatever and all the what God
was trying to save you, man, I dunno how many times that's
true. You find that's true, but we don't like it because it's
true when they say something right, they tell us. Right? It's true, right?
We don't like it because it's true. I know, I know, I know. We are lost.
We are driving the foreign land, we are lost. And the last thing we want
to do is ask for the I know, I know. Know one of the programs that my family and I
like to watch is amazing race. Alright? I think they couple that
from Amazing Grace anyway. Yeah, you see the same
thing, they're lost. They could have a head
start but don't to us. Amen. You see how much God has loved
you by giving you your wife, Pastor, keep on preaching. Okay? So it all will know me. Why is it that God is able to lead you
from within the most inner most part of you, your inner sanctum? Why is it God is able to lead you from
the inside out where the devil cannot wire trip the devil's voice, his visions, his giving you feelings,
his sign in the sky. I remember one lady who wrote a
very set letter I read many years ago. She fell in love with a guy and no, a guy was pursuing her and before she
fell in love and then the guy was trying his best to winan her over and finally
she asked God for a sign. Never do that. She asked God for a sign. Then one day
when she was asking God for a sign, she was walking at night,
she saw a shooting star then decide to marry the guy. Her
marriage was like a shooting star. Alright? Please understand God will guide
you in the new covenant from within. But Pastor God did that. What? Gides
flee. Gideon was not in the new covenant. God was outside them. Today,
God is inside you. Alright? Listen. The devil can imitate visions. Even you have an angel appear
before you and an angel tells you things. That's not according to
the Bible, okay? It's not an angel. So you foul spirit, Tiana go from me in Jesus'
name or nowadays it is zombie you foul spirit zombie, go from me in Jesus' name. Now, the Korean zombies that
you can fall in love with, no, no anything outside is
subject to the devils, right? He can do a lot of the razzle,
even arranging circumstances, even that's why your first
primary thing is inside here. You know what's right. If it's not strong,
that's why I'm teaching this today. Are you with me? Sofa? So if that is not strong
and then your knowing God, you find that I don't even know
him intimately and God is saying, this is the reason all
these three clauses happen. Even the miraculous, I'll be their God. All this happen because four, Four means because I'm going to do
this, I will do this, I will do this, I will do this. Notice I will,
I will, I will. It's all God. In the old covenant of law, you
shall, you shall God command man. If man is contingent, man is
the main player in the covenant, you will not do this. You will not do
that. You will not. Then I will bless you, then I you will will. But the new
covenant is not like the old covenant. God himself is the active one. I will do
this. I will put my Lord. I'll do this, I'll do that. I'll be there, God.
And then finally, what's your part? You'd be hard pressed
to find your part here. Your part is to believe all his eye wills. So if you find that the
leading is not strong, I don't care how many times
you hear Pastor Prince sermon, I don't care how much or even
you may have taught on it, God is saying, your problem is that you don't believe
the last clause because the last clause is because all this will happen. I will
do this, I will do that. I will do this. All will know me because I'll be
merciful to the unrighteousness and there are sins and the
lawless. This I remember no more and the no more. There is a double negative. Not always used in
the New Testament or May in the Greek, all itself is powerful enough. May
is also very powerful. Negative. Put them together is
a strong negative. No, never, ever, ever be. God is
saying, I will never ever, ever remember your sins. Hallelujah. And it's not just remember, you know
what he's saying in the new covenant, God is saying that, listen carefully. In the Hebrew Jeremiah's prophecy, where this first appears is the word kar. Kar means like your name is zacharia.
Zacharia. It means ya is God's name. Y remembers that's what your name
means. Zachary is from Zacharia. So zakar means not just
remember also to be mindful of God is saying, I'll no longer
ever be mindful of your sins. Can you imagine walking with a
friend who is never mindful of your sins? I'm telling you, even the best husband
and wife in this house doesn't come close to
them. Even your best. Imagine we have someone who will
never be mindful of your shortcomings, of when you filled him the
last time or your sins. And this is what God is saying, I'll never remember your sins.
I'll never be mindful of your sins. So in other words, I'm no more
dealing with you based on sins. I'm now dealing with you based on
the son and what he has done for you. Because Jesus threw all
your sins at the cross. And God who is righteous and holy to punish his son because he
was carrying your sins, cannot punish you today for the
same sins twice because it'll be a miscarriage of his righteousness, his justice, it's a travesty of justice. And the course of law is
called the law double jeopardy. That's the reason why we have this promise. It's not
because God has gone soft. Oh pastor, you mean today God is not of sins because
you don't care about sins anymore. No, no, no, no, no. He's
righteous to what his son did. That if he's mindful of your sins,
he's saying his son didn't carry it. God cannot see two places
righteously at one time. If he sees your sins on Jesus,
God cannot see the sin on you. The problem is that you
see your sins on you. The devil tells you your sins are on. You cast the final toss of the dice. You decide. So I tell you this, I submit to you, and this is what God said to me to
tell you if the effect what makes it happen is because I'll be merciful
Did the unrighteous your sins are. Remember normal. If you are conscious
of that every day of your life, you don't have to try to make the
rest happen. You will know God none. Know him so well as a sinner who has
just been forgiven of all his sins. Just like the man whose
eyes was open by Jesus. Remember he went to the pool
of salam and washed his eyes. He realized he's been forgiven of all
his sins. Not just healed, but forgiven. Jesus is the Messiah and the
Pharisees who knows the Bible so well. The Pharisees saw him and tell us who
opened your eyes? He says Jesus and said, he's a sinner. He said, whether
he's a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I know once
I was blind. Now I see. Then he says, you try to teach us. You're trying to teach us to kick him
out of the synagogue and outside the synagogue. Jesus was waiting for him. Sometimes get out of this religious people
and all that to get the true gospel. Man, Jesus outside, not in
the synagogue. Jesus says, okay, this fight is
added by me. Jesus says, who do you reckon they're worshiping
inside the guy that I dunno, but between you and me, you've
got the real sanctuary here. Amen. Would you like to know? Would
you to see the Messiah? He ask him, are these in the Bible now? He says, yes, I am He. All those in the synagogue with
all the a realite learning, all the advancement of all the rabbinic hole literature
that they have advanced in, and they're the who is
who in the Jerusalem, who this man knew more of Jesus. None. Of them knew. He's the Messiah
and they've been waiting for him, but this blind man knew from the least. It's because we don't believe
that our sins are forgiven, that we don't love him
much. And people say, well, you tell people their sins are
forgiven, forgiven, forgiven. They all want a sin. You don't
tell them they're still sin. Some of them, they're still
sin. Just you. Not telling them. Don't give them the power. But I'll
tell you something. I'll tell you this. Don't forget, holiness is found also in, I'll put my loss in their hearts and on
their minds. It's from the inside out, not outside in. It is not
behavior modification. God is not one thing. Your
behavior modification. He's looking for inward
transformation, heart transformation. So what is it that gives us
a true holiness from inside? Your problem is not pornography.
Your problem is loneliness. Even you are married, you still carry the spirit of
loneliness from your teenage years. Your father never treat you well.
Your father had a better example. You're suffer for loneliness. I'm
not saying this for everybody. I'm just speaking prophetically right
here. So God is saying your problem, so that he write the law in
this person's heart different. That person's heart's different.
That person's heart different. He's going to write,
someone's viewing right now. He's going to lead you
differently. But the same problem, pornographic addiction, Your problem is not this
hypertension you're dealing with. Your problem is this thing that's causing
stress. No, I'm not stressed by this. It's this thing. How do you know
this? He will lead you from with him. Amen. Everything that I do, even today, why do I preach this? He
wrote this on my heart. I got a lot of things I tell my pastors
and I got a lot of things to preach. I got something from the book of
judges for I'm waiting to preach it, but everyth time, I want to preach it.
God says, no, preach on this. Please God, I preach on this before. Preach
on this. Where do I get it here where I cannot miss it
when God writes, you know? Amen. So you want to see the miraculous? You got to believe your sins are
forgiven somehow when you come to God in prayer, wow. It's just like whether it's from your
flesh, There's always accusing and condemning or from the voice of the
accuser of the Bren, the devil himself. When you come to God, your flooded
with, yeah. This morning I did. Was it was that sin? Maybe I
looked at that man for too long. Maybe I looked at the lady
for too long. Maybe I did. Was that sin that I crossed my line, I think jam on his heartlight,
pastor Lawrence, but was thinking, have I really got angry? So something
you do, you can't even tell. But if you have the right believing
matter, whether it's sin or not, your sins are forgiven. Can
you bully to God? You can. But the thing is this, a lot of people
try to stop you. No, no, no, no. You can't believe your sins
are forgiven. No, no, no. From the day you are born again, until the day you accept Jesus.
From the day you accept Jesus, you are forgiven of all your past
sins. From now on, you are forgiven, piecemeal, and this nearly killed me
when I was about 16, 17 years old. I was very zealous about the Lord. I got baptized in the Holy
Spirit at 17 years old. On the day I got baptized,
I wrote a beautiful song. Maybe one day I'll sing to
you. I complete song and then I read books. I devoured rather
devoured Christian books. And then I read one book that says that
you are not forgiven until you confess every sin. Because one sin will keep
you out of fellowship. So I did my best. I can confess as much as I can
all the way into national service. I remember my BMT and I'll
be running, running, running, and the physical instructor be
yelling all kinds of, you all know, right? And then I get angry with him.
Then I stopped. I had to think, well, how can I hit him? I'm a child of God. Hate what cause me to be cut off from
God and I kind of thought to be cut off from God as P in national service,
doing training and all that. You need God's intervention. You need
God's favor. You need God's protection. I need God to help me not to get
confined in camp. I need God, but did I get angry? Did I cross the
line? I hate him. Yes, I do hate him, but I don't want to hate
him, but I do hate him. I got to stop for a while and I
got to pray. Lord, whatcha doing? I played football with my friends. I'll
be the goalkeeper. I shouted someone. Then I shouted something that after.
Was that really a bad thing I said, or was it maybe border line? I'm not
too sure I need to confess my sin. I confessed my sin. Then I heard
a sound. What are you doing? The ball went in. I was confessing my sin honestly before God. I'll tell you,
I can be talking to you and I also, I do this because I dunno if
these people will say right, that unless you confess your sins,
you're not forgiven of that sin. I can't imagine them
because they don't do this. If you really believe that all
baby, even fear and unbelief, you'll be because fear
and unbelief is sin. Whatever is of not of
faith is sin our the whole day. Now laugh. It was no
laughing method at that time. I remember asking for deliverance and
someone told me, it's your problem. I said, what's my
problem? You have demons. There are demons in you,
right? So I say, okay, how do I get rid of these demons?
I say, that's we guy down there. He's preaching somewhere. His name
is go to him and he'll pray for you. He pray for people with demon Jesus.
That's why carry my big Bible. He was bigger than this. He
was so big and choke a donkey. It was a black Bible. I remember
then I was looking for the, it was a landed property. So I walk around trying to find a place
where this guy was to cast the devil out of me, and now I can't find the
room. I can't find the number. And I was walking, walking.
I can't find the number. Then the cloud started getting very dark
and all of a sudden I hear the rumbling of the tender and then all of
a sudden the heavens opened and it rained on me. I remember looking up, okay,
even God has given up on me. I'm looking for help. It's like
you open up and say that's it. You have committed the
unpardonable sin. Oh, by the way, I really believe I committed
the unpardonable sin. So I went down to Orchard Road, orchard Road where I had tracks in
my hand passing it to everyone that passed by and all the while
telling them about Jesus. For those who are willing to listen, some just throw it in the floor and
all that, and they just walk away. But I did my best all the while
believing that I'll help send them to heaven, get them safe, and then I'm going to hell anyway because
I have committed the unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit, but I'll get them safe so that when
God sees them in heaven, right, and I'm in hell, right, God, it's how
do you get safe? And then they say, oh, Joseph Prince was in Orchard
Road passing around for a while. God would look down and God remember me in
hell. I really believe that. I believe I lost it. That was
later on. But I did my best. You tell me He's the devil inside
me. Cast it out. Cast it out, man. Then the more I didn't believe my sins
were forgiven, the more I didn't believe, the more my thoughts became depressed, the more I had bad
thoughts about God. I had hard thoughts about God. I
had famous thoughts about God. That's when finally I thought
I blessed him, the Holy Spirit. It was like at night I cannot sleep.
I feel like the demons crawling on me, my skin, I felt it. I felt
like the darkness was all. I cannot dunno how many nights
I didn't sleep. 17 years old believing I had lost my salvation. I
wasn't able to keep up my confession. I was wondering how come people
don't confess their sins more? I say people around me in
church, the church I was in, and they'll say something and
then I never see them confess. There's the mercy of God.
I opened the Bible one day and I saw this verse. David says, God, if you mock iniquities, who can stand? But the next verse is, but
there is forgiveness with you that you may be feared. I thought it's more logical
for my flesh to hear. There is judgment with you
that you may be feared, but instead there is forgiveness
with you that you may be feared and we know that fear. There
is not like you fierce snake. It's the worship of God. I'm bringing
this to a close, but can I ask you all, are you getting what I'm
saying so far? Yes. So maybe some of our diseases that we have in
our body that refuses to be healed, it's a reflection of the belief we have
that we refuse to believe in a certain area in our life because the new
covenant is not about right doing. It's about right. Believing, right
believing will always produce right? Living. Now the old covenant
of law is right doing, producing right, living, but
new covenant is right. Believing the righteous by faith shall
lift that produces right living. So maybe you don't see the results because there's an area in your life you believe, but you believe wrong in this area
and it's showing up because David said forget not how many benefits. All his
benefits. Let's list them. The first two, who forgives all
your sins, all your inequities. The next one who forgives, who heals all how many, all your diseases? Notice the two all back to back. If you
don't believe he forgives all your sins, maybe all your diseases may not
be healed, some will be healed. Some I'm forgiven, some
I got to go. As I go, then I get forgiven piecemeal basis. It reflects in your healing. Maybe that's the reason why Jesus, when they lowered the man from
the rooftop and the Son of God, look at the man regardless
of the Pharisees all around. The easiest thing to do is not to say
at that time in front of the Pharisees because they're looking to him whether
he forgive sins or not saying that he's God. But there's a very
thing Jesus did first, he looked at the man who was
paralyzed, and Jesus' son, your sins are forgiven.
You. The Pharisees say, who is this man who speaks blasphemous? Who can forgive sins but
God only it was easier. They believe Jesus can
heal. They have seen that, but it was that part that got them. And yet there's a very thing
Jesus started with why? And he's not addressing them.
He's addressing the poor victim. The poor man in a stretcher. Son, your sins have forgiven you.
Then he said, rise, take up your bed and walk. Maybe the physical healing can
only come when you believe your sins are forgiven. We do not
know about this guy's story, but maybe for years and years he's
a flat on his back because he said, I wish I didn't do that. That's
the reason why I'm like this. That's the reason why my sins, I cannot be forgiven or even the
things be forgiven in their heart. They don't feel forgiven and they need
a voice. They'll tell them, your son, your sins are forgiven you. And he knew what Jesus
was referring to when he heard that and believe it. Healing flow. That's why we have the communion, not
just the bread. We have the blood, the cup, and it's not
trying to be forgiven. Then if you do it that way, you are making the Lords
supper into something that something close to heresy. Nope. The blood there is not to
forgive you of your sins. The blood there is to remind
you, you have been forgiven. You're not forgiven, then
you're forgiven. Jesus. This hub is the new covenant in my blood. Father remission of sins.
Amen. You don't get forgiveness
by drinking the blood. You drink the blood because you are
forgiven and you demonstrate that I buy flowers for my wife. I bring her and give her a treat for
something because I love her not to create love in me. She asked me, why are you
doing this? I got no love for you. I'm trying to create it, and then all these clauses
will happen. You need healing. I'll be their God and
they shall be my people. You need strength, you need peace. I'll be their God and all the names of
God. Now come into play Jehovah Rafa, Jehovah Shalom, I'll be
their God. They have peace. I'll be their God. They're strong. They shall still bring
forth fruit in all age. They shall be full of fat
and green, always green. Amen. Last week I had a visitor
come all the way from Brazil. He's a pastor, a well-known pastor in
Brazil and he pastors 1,300 churches, not just in most of them in Brazil,
but also all over the world. In fact, he wanted to see me because he
was just fresh from a church. He started over in Japan. No exaggeration, 1,300 churches, not people, but he said that his
ministry grew and grew, but then there was something
lacking. He knew it. He felt that he could not go on to the next phrase
of his life and cry out to God. God brought into his hand
my book, destined to Rain. He said he read the book
and just cried and cried. His ministry was growing already
and he just cried and he said, pastor Prince last week, he said, do you remember the illustration
you used of the parade? Are those of you who read my book,
those of you who have my book, But also read my book? There
is an illustration there. There's an illustration
there of the parade. How God man will see the parade
step by step, right? Amen. Hey, we need the pool. We see one
by one, right? The parade goes by, but God sees from the
helicopter point of view, God sees the beginning from the
end and the end from the beginning. God says the beginning, everything
right? So when God took your sins, I shared God took your sins.
What I'm sharing even today, God took your entire life of sins
because God says the whole parade, we think that God
forgives us. When we sin, we go to God and then God forgives
us, then we go to God. No, God sees your entire life of sin
and God put on Jesus. He said, that changed my life because
he said that my ministry grew, but there was still this perpetual
sense of sin consciousness. Now he's a minister, he's a
pastor, a successful pastor, but he says that this pastor
years after knowing the truth, his ministry grew even more and
his ministry attracting a lot of young people, a lot of young. He showed me some videos that
the young people, they're amazed. They come to the front and they're
all full of Jesus loving him. You tell me that this
produces life consciousness. You ain't seeing nothing. Yet
the old covenant had glory. The new covenant were seat in glory all over the world. Amen. And my son came in and he
want to talk about football, Brazilian footballers, and he said, you know there the pastor say a lot of
Brazilian footballers and they all love Jesus. Amen. So there is a movement all over the
world, a rediscovery of the gospel and me. He's not the only pastor. He came
last week. So he's fresh in my mind. But many pastors around the world
whose lives are transformed. Amen? So I'm here to tell you, if you
don't feel at home deep down here, this is not my church. There's a
good church out there for you there. There are many good churches in
Singapore, many good churches, but there's one heaven hood
of a church. I'm telling you, There's one heaven of a church. I come here every week, found a girl here also, and got
married. My son also attends the church. So I'm here to tell you,
alright, it starts here. How do you know you feel at home in
the church? Deep down, you feel it. This is home truly. Amen. Praise the Lord. Alright, every head bow, every eye
closed, all across this place. Now you tell the Lord, God, what
do I really believe on the inside? Lord, please, Lord, lemme not fool
myself. Do I really enjoy your love? Am I conscious of your
closeness without fear? Can I see you so close,
loving me, embracing me, and yet all my sins are forgiven?
Or do I see you far away? And for the rest of you who have never
put your trust in Jesus, pray this, pray with me. Christ died for our sins on the cross.
And when God laid your sins on him and punish him, he cried, finish, which means everything
needed to forgive you of your sins and to remit them from your life has
been accomplished. And then he died. They buried him, and the
Bible says on the third day, God raised him from the date. But the reason the Bible says God raised
him from the date is to declare that what he did for you on the
cross is accepted by God. That means you have been justified. God
will never hold your sins against you. If you fail, you stumble. There
will be a family correction, but it will not be with
sickness, accidents, tragedies harm, but God will
correct because he loves you, but not to worry about that. Today's Rema word to you is deep down. I didn't ask you whether you know this
teaching, but do you believe it still? Are you right now present tense, believing this truth that your sins are
forgiven? What are you conscious of? Your failures task file today or Jesus, God's love for you and
the wonder of his person if that is you, pray this
prayer with me right now. If you want to be safe to be a
child of God, say, heavenly Father, I thank you for Jesus Christ,
your son. I thank you. He died on the cross for all my sins, and you raised him from
the dead as a testimony that all my sins are
paid for, paid in full, and that I've been justified, made righteous by blood. Thank you, father Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and fill me now with your Holy
Spirit in the name of Jesus, A thank you Father. Amen. Praise the Lord. Stand to your feet and lift your
hands all across this place. I don't believe for one moment that when
I pronounce a blessing or any pastor pronounce a blessing that it doesn't
go into effect. Throughout the week, God will make all the enemies
devices to fail. Amen. God will make the crooked places
straight. I really believe that. Amen. The Lord bless you and your
loved ones throughout this week. The Lord bless you with the
blessings of Father Abraham, the blessings of Deuteronomy 28. Even as you are blessed in heavenly
places with every spiritual blessing, the Lord make his face to shine on you.
Even because of Jesus work at the cross. His favor is all upon. You may encounter the favor of God
in a fresh way throughout this week, you and your loved ones and
the Lord grant you that peace that he has already given you for you to
experience it all over again throughout this week. The peace of knowing you are right
with God and translating that to the cares and troubles of life and
the trials of life as the peace of God that protects your heart and
mind from anxieties and fears in Jesus' name, it will be a
great week for you. God bless you. I'll see you again. God bless. Introducing the new
