happy life

Pastor Lawrence

Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John mentioned feed 5000 people
Only Gospel of Matthew recorded Jesus healed before feeding took place

Matthew 14:14

And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

Physical healing.

crowd of 10,000-20,000 people or even more

God have compassion for the sick

He have compassion for me

​

I may not understanding anything, Jesus have compassion on me

No matter what sickness, He have the power to heal and He will heal me.  He paid the price at the cross to heal me.  I have a good God

"Lord, only You can save.  Do what only You can do, help me, provide for every need"

God forbid that I should boast except the cross of Jesus Christ.

Boast, proclaim all Jesus have done.  iT is all about Jesus, He blessed me

 

Always joy and privilege for me to give the Lord

Proverbs 11:25

The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself.

Something happen when I give, in my giving, I will receive

Biblical principle => When I counsel others, I will receive counsel.  When I give, it will be given back to me

Luke 6:38

"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

In my giving, I will receive

​

Pastor Prince

We are many member bodied in Christ

Church => People of God redeemed by blood of Jesus Christ gather together worship Father

Church is not a building

Father have a dream of a Family.  We are the fulfilment, redeem of the Lord Jesus give His life

Ephesians 5:25 "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,"

He have vision of future, as if He died

He is dying for the church, give Himself to her, give Himself for the Church

Price and value, how much I am willing to give up the object

God gave His Son's life for me

Never despise myself, never depress myself, never feel I am useless

I am valuable, precious

"I am the Lord, the healer"

Give Him glory and honor

​

Luke 6:7-10

7 So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him. 

8 But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood. 

9 Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or [a]to destroy?” 

10 And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

Gifts of healings (plural), supernatural weapon

The root can only be dealt by Lord Jesus, medicine and operation results is the fruits

Jesus is clean and He touch me, I will be clean.  If unclean touch will be unclean

God's gift to the Church => Gifts of Holy Spirit : 9 gifts of Holy Spirit

I don't have to earn it, its a gift  => Charismarpe=> from the word Charis

grace gift, I receive it freely, Lord who loves me. Grace gift touches me, it changes me.  

We can't control it, it is Spiritual realm

Faith is an art of believe in my heart

​

Psalm 34:12 NET Brings out Hebrew

Do you want to really live? Would you love to live a long, happy life?

​

Psalm 34:11-14

11 Come children. Listen to me. I will teach you what it means to fear the Lord.
12 Do you want to really live? Would you love to live a long, happy life?
13 Then make sure you don’t speak evil words or use deceptive speech.
14 Turn away from evil and do what is right. Strive for peace and promote it.

Starts with: Children, Father is talking to me

Don't use deceptive speech

True fear of Lord for believer => watch my mouth

Exodus 3:8 "...to a land flowing with milk and honey"

Israel they spoke bad of the land.  Majority spoke, majority were wrong and suffered the consequences 

Only Jason and Caleb entered the land, they believed God

Joshua 14:11

"As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in."

Numbers 14:24

"But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it."

Impart Spirit of faith to me, I am a Christian with different Spirit

Spirit of faith => I believe therefore I speak

World emphasis on doing

Royalty, God ordain me to be, God made me special above, God made me in His image and in likeness of God, God's crowning creation

​

Romans 8:15

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Context => Relationship with God

again to fear - slavish fear

​

Luke 8:43-48 Woman with issue of blood

Jesus look at her: "I love you and I want you to heal".  Woman told Him everything.  Grace triumph the law.

​

Dominion every creeping things that creepers

I am Royal, I am created to rule

God made man to rule everything for His glory, God made man last

Everything in life degenerates, hot coffee will turn cold

God spoke, privilege of royalty to speak.  Speak and things happen

God crowned Adam with glory and honour, all animals obeyed him

Royalty speaks and it happen

​

Faith is exercise of authority.  I speak

evil spirit obey the authority that in the name of Jesus Christ 

Believers knows they have authority, start using it, I need to see the world is different from me

Men fell, creation fell.  Men fall deeper in sin, the earth groans

Genesis 4:1-15 First murdered in the Bible

1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.” 

2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 

3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. 

4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lordrespected Abel and his offering, 

5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

6 So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 

7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is [d]for you, but you should rule over it.”

8 Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground. 

11 So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 

12 When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.”

13 And Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear! 

14 Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me.”

15 And the Lord said to him, “Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.

One by his works, he thought he can approach God.  

Another one by the blood of lamb, his trust in the blood of Jesus Christ, not his works

Man righteousness, man lawlessnesses

Righteousness exalts a nation

​

I am salt of the earth

Salt keep things from corrupted

Magdala, Lake of Galilee => salted fish industry 

God trust me to put me out there because He wants to salt there

I am the light of the world, like city set on the hill, I shine, noone can miss it

​

Lord give me that authority and works to speak and it happens.  I believe therefore I speak

Everyone is important

My words carry weight

Guard what I speak 

Merarites responsible for the pins for Tabernacle, although their role is keeping the pins, their role is also important, as the pins build Tabernacle and they can't lose it

Everyone's role is glorious

All of us need one another

​

Don't use negative words, negative instruction, eg "don't ... don't..."

God's way is always positive

Don't speak evil words

​

1 Peter 3:10-11 applies for new covenant people, applies for me

10 For “He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.

God wants me to have long good life, full of good days, secret in my mouth

David, Abraham died, satisfied in days

Satisfied => its a good day. I have many of it

 

James 3:8

But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

If any man can tame tongue, he is a complete and perfect man

Complete in character and complete in every area.  Integrity+> someone who integrated

curse man => speaking something that put someone done, untruth about someone

​

Mark 11:14  Jesus curse fig tree

And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

'you forever careless' is placing a curse

disease; di ease (no ease)

Shalom => Completeness, wholeness, peace and well-being

Holy => root in the word of whole, complete

God given me a gift, its a gift happen when Church was born => Day of Pentecost, Holy Spirit came on Mount Zion

Mount Zion is the mountain that God love, Psalm 78:68

"But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which He loved."

At Mount Zion, God gave the Spirit and 3000 people saved

Pentecost; children of Israel at wilderness before God give them the law (Mount Sinai)

​

Psalm 132:13-18

13 For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place:
14 “This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 There I will make the [c]horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.
18 His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”

​

Psalm 68:18

Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in; Yes, the LORD will dwell in it forever.

​

Mount Sinai => Law given, 3000 people died

Mount Zion => God gave the Spirit, 3000 people saved

The latter law kills but Spirit gives life, always gives life (more than healing, Bible uses life)

Receive healing, release life on my body

​

Hebrew 12:18

For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,

Mount Sinai, Noone can bear the word 'thou shall not'

Hebrew 12:21

And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)

=> essence claim or demand

God's name is not mentioned here

Hebrew 12:22

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,

=> essence is grace, supply, give

I have not come to this mountain of Mount Sinai

Move myself from Mount Sinai to Mount Zion because Jesus have been glorified

God is now on Mount Zion, to an innumerable company of angels=>House of God

Genesis 28:11-12

11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 

12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

anoint the pillow

John 1:43-51

43 The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” 

44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 

45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”

Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

48 Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

49 Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 

51 And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

Happens in House of God

​

John 7:38 KJV

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Holy Spirit is not give because Jesus have not yet been crucified

He came for 1 reason and I am saved for 1 reason => Christ died for my sin and rose again,  I am acquainted with Him. Jesus been glorify at the Father's right hand

God have moved mountain

God wants me to have Spirit of Sonship, address God as Father

Jesus came to reveal Father and His heart to me, I am a family of the Father, The Father and family

 

Christianity is not me, my family and I

New Testament => Loving one another, all about one another, speaking to myself (plural), seeing with one another

​

Redeeming my time, save all the good moments

Ephesians 5:15-20

15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 

18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 

19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 

20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

"time"=> Kairos, an opportune

Redemption buys with a cost, price paid

"speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs"=>praying in Spirit, praying in tongues

Sing, I am in right and better state when I have arrive

When stress fill my mind, Sing! 
Singing, I am being fill with the Spirit

When I am singing, God is filling

When I am speaking, God is filling

=> Mark of Royalty

not about doing, Is about speaking

 

Romans 10:5-6

5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

Confess with my mouth and believe in my heart, Jesus is my Lord

Jesus is life, I believe therefore I speak

​

Book of wisdom

Proverbs 18:21

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

What a privilege to be Child of God

​

Joseph favoured by Father, father gave him a coat of many colour

I am like Joseph, loved by Father

Type of Joseph=>coat of many colours, long sleeve

Someone have long sleeve and many colours coat is exempted from work

His brothers knew it and was jealous of him

always jealous over the brother who receive strongly by grace, join the brother!

Guard my heart 

If anyone can tame a tongue, he is a complete man

Jeremiah, Elijah, Moses never pray in spirit/tongues

Pray in Spirit=Pray in tongues

1 Corinthians 14:14

For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

Sing with Spirit, Sing with understanding

​

Chatgpt, written by man who are fallable

Chatgpt, AI, in spite of not because of

in spite of this, thank God because of the Lord

"Lord bless my exercise, is Your blessing that taketh rich, not my efforts"

While I am exercising(not because of), quicken my body, strengthen me.  A little become much, just 10 mins, God will bless me

​

devil saw the gift, strongest blessings of God, devil will attack. By grace through faith, I am saved

not of works lest any man should boost

Whatever I do, ask Lord for blessings.  Depend on Him. Before appointment, tell the Lord => "Lord, bless my presentation. I t is your blessings that maketh rich, not my effort"

Lord bless it, 5 loaves 2 fishes, God bless it and multiplied.  No matter how few and small

Abraham blessed Isaac, Isaac still blessed other places, Isaac blessed Jacob

People who are blessed, keep asking God for blessings still

Pastor Price sermon => why Lord keep blessing and blessing

Telling God that "I trust in You" => "Lord, unless You bless, or else it will not work, bless what I am doing Lord"

Look to the Lord, depend on the Lord

Telling God that "I trust in You"

Proverbs 10:22 

The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.

​

No-one can drink for me, I got to drink for myself, enjoy myself.  Go to the Lord and drink

John 7:37-39

37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

"belly"(most inner man)  => womb (use by Jews)

let the rivers of living water flow out

in NKJV, they uses "heart" instead of "belly", not cardio in original

Holy Spirit not yet given, Jesus not yet crucified, not rose from the dead yet, not risen and haven't seat at Father's right hand

​

Jobs 11:6a NIV

and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides.

Secret of wisdom, true wisdom have 2 sides

Prophesy=> God's wisdom for future

2 sides=> near fulfilment and far fulfilment

Near fulfilment =>Peter says Acts 2:3 "Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them"

This is that the Prophet Joel say

Far fulfilment => day and age

​

Ezekiel 47:12

Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds oftrees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.”

Psalm 1:2

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night

"meditates" => hagah => mutter => got to do with my mouth

mutter it => Psalm 23:1 "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not lack"

Psalm 1:3

He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

" Leave will not wither" => leave is my health, leave is for medicine

Secret is water, water flow from temple/ sanctuary

I am temple of God

The more I let river flow, 

Ezekiel 47:1

Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar.

Ezekiel 47:8-12

8 Then he said to me: “This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, itswaters are healed. 

9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes. 

10 It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many. 

11 But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt. 

12 Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.”

Sea=>humanity, man kind as a whole (restless)

Dead Sea=>they are dead, cut off with God

Only Jesus can calm the storm

Jesus wants to save them

Jesus came to conquer death

Vision of Ezekiel will happen in future

Zechariah 8:13

And it shall come to pass That just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, So I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not fear, Let your hands be strong.’

I am His first fruit of His creation

​

Bible last page is a map, outline of Dead Sea

There is N-Sea and S-Sea, there will be torrentous healing
