Sermon note (4th svc)
By Pastor Prince
Believing! Inward Transformation!
Let go your troubles, your problems, and let God take hold!
God’s word is the standard. Where there is high moral excellence in a nation, the nation will prosper.
People must be transformed from within. Transform individual will create transformed nation. Change that is permanent when the transformation is from within.
By hearing the gospel preached, the good news!
When people hear the gospel than they are transformed from within.
At every place we are in, don’t give excuses that we are not growing. There must be growth. Quality sheep will produce quality growth.
God is restoring the gospel of grace and He is protecting the gospel.
If something is from God, you cannot overthrow it.
Gospel of grace is all over. The grace is robbed of its beauty and grace, the law is robbed of its sternness when both law and grace are mixed.
Under law, one disobedience, you are guilty of all.
How blessed you are, depend solely on your understanding of law and grace.
We are dead to the law to marry to Jesus Christ.
Romans 7:4-7
Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
Sin’s Advantage in the Law
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
Our life has a mint of royalty. Walk worthy of our high calling!
Law arouses sinful passion.
The law is just but it cannot justify you.
The law is holy but it cannot makes us holy.
Now we have been delivered from the law.
Context is king. Dead to sin and marry to Jesus He will make us blessed!
Where sin increased, grace abounded much more. Increased can still count, much cannot be count!
Testimony-
A pastor from US. For 24 years he was under legalistic preaching, and when he heard Pastor Prince preaching, the more he preached grace, the more he see new converts.
The pastor’s sister was delivered from deathbed!
She received Christ in the 2nd month.
Her kidney is now fully recovered!! She is fully recovered when the doctor did not expect that.
The world out there did not believe God loves them. We got to preach the love of God and holiness is the fruit!
By their fruits we shall know them.
Your blessing and cursing is wrapped up in your understanding of law and grace.
Galatians 1:6-9
Only One Gospel
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
The book of Galatians is dealing with sanctifying by faith.
The grace of Christ is the true gospel.
Pervert the gospel of Christ is introducing the law to mix in grace.
When God judge, is a foreign act.
Double curse will stop the person who preaches against the gospel of grace.
You need holy spirit to show you, you receive the good you don’t deserve because Jesus received the bad He don’t deserve.
I cannot go up to God but God came down to us.
The beauty of grace must be preserved.
This is what transformed society, nations!
Start preaching the good news and people are transformed!!
None of us, all of Jesus!!
Focus on the gospel and the gospel transform us!!
God will not tolerate false gospel even through preaching by sharing online.
I have more faith in the grace of God than the sin of man.
Sin is enough to send even God’s Son to the cross for us. God’s love is the reason He went to the cross for us.
To become sin-conscious is saying Jesus did not do a perfect job and God did not accept the payment.
The greatest thing is to be Jesus conscious
Galatians 3:8-9
And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
When we are blessed, no one can stop us! The blessing is on us, is amazing how everything will move around us to bless us!
When we are blessed, no human hand can stop us!
Those who are of faith are blessed with (equivalent) believing Abraham!
Repentance means change of mind.
Testimony of someone who quitted smoking- She confessed i am the righteousness of God in Christ even when she was smoking. And gradually she felt the taste of smoke is weird and she has lost the desire to smoke and till now, 3 years has gone and she has quitted smoking.
Conquer the addiction through confess I am the righteousness of God in Christ!
People fall in love with Jesus. Something is right when that happen.
After grace always comes glory!
Justified and also glorified! Glory always follow justification.
Sanctification comes by faith
How many lives are transformed under one ministry will show. See the fruits
Abraham was called a friend of God. He lived more than 400 years before 10 commandments was given.
Enoch walked with God before the 10 commandments! He was before the law.
Joseph lived before 10 commandments and he said no to the woman who seduced him.
Inward transformation!
Deliverance means the want-to is gone.
Sarah looked so beautiful even when she was 90 years old and the king wanted her! She was physically attractive!
Believing Abraham, not working Abraham!
Justification by faith.
Confessing we are forgiven in Christ and righteous in Christ!
The moment we start believing God!
Galatians 3:9-10
So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
The Law Brings a Curse
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
Take your position for righteousness or holiness.
Keep ALL things in the law if you want to keep the law.
Galatians 3:13
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
Deut 28
14 verses on blessings.
54 verses on curses.
The blessings is not in the place, is in us!
Deuteronomy 28:3-4
“Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.
“Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
Deuteronomy 28:12-13
The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.
Deuteronomy 28:22
The Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with scorching, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish.
Deuteronomy 28:27-28
The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors, with the scab, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed. The Lord will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of heart.
Deuteronomy 28:59-61
then the Lord will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary plagues—great and prolonged plagues—and serious and prolonged sicknesses. Moreover He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this Book of the Law, will the Lord bring upon you until you are destroyed.
Deuteronomy 28:41
You shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for they shall go into captivity.
Deuteronomy 28:65-68
And among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall the sole of your foot have a resting place; but there the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and anguish of soul. Your life shall hang in doubt before you; you shall fear day and night, and have no assurance of life. In the morning you shall say, ‘Oh, that it were evening!’ And at evening you shall say, ‘Oh, that it were morning!’ because of the fear which terrifies your heart, and because of the sight which your eyes see.
“And the Lord will take you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said to you, ‘You shall never see it again.’ And there you shall be offered for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.”
Stress is curse! Divine answer is spiritual. Christ redeemed us!
The last word of the curses is no one will buy you, look at Gal 3:13, Christ bought us!!
We are redeemed from all the curses by Christ on the cross!!!
Galatians 3:13
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
Jesus redeemed us from the curse by hanging on a tree! (Cross)
Jesus bought us back from the marketplace by becoming a curse for us !!
Galatians 3:11-12
But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”
By faith – Full life, real life, recover from sickness, to be revived physically!!
The righteous shall have eternal life by faith!
The law is not of faith!
Live by faith!
Jesus healed everybody that came to Him.
Jesus took a few and multiplied to many!!
Jesus took the boat to preach and when He paid back, there was boat-sinking full of fish!
Matthew 9:29
Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”
Is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance.
Matthew 15:28
Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Luke 8:48
And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
Your faith! Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law.
Start operating in faith!
Whatever we ask for in prayer, BELIEVING we have received!!
Believing, not feeling!
Prayer is a powerful tool!!
We can pray for nations and God is responding
Luke 17:5-6
Faith and Duty
And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Start using our faith and pray!!
Start declaring! Live by believing!!
You have faith so small, speak it!
The simplicity of faith. The more we don’t think about it, the more we have result!
Galatians 3:11-12
But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”
Our best days are ahead!!
My future is as bright as Jesus at the Father’s right hand!!
We are blessed, blessed and blessed!!
