Christmas Jokes - Ps Lian
1) What does a mosquito do during the cold winter? - They give u a frost bite. Lol. XD
2) What is the fear of Santa called? - Santaclaustrophobia. XD
Rock kid's testimony:
Ps Lian shared briefly abt a boy with physical condition whose mum was worried for him. He shared with his mum about how Jesus is a healer and shared a Wigglesworth testimony that their teacher told them. The boy was full of faith.
Gabriel- in April this year boy complained of a bruise. Did not go away after a few wks so saw doc n referred to children's clinic at NUH. CTC and MRI scan done and found a tumor right above his brain. Lesion in bone. Shocked. Neuro surgeon asked them to seek second opinion and adviced removal asap. The parents saw Ps Henry who prayed over the boy. Trusted God. Spiritual overdrive and told to rest, go for a movie. Since believed for healing and miracle, decided to go for second scan. But it was still there. Gabriel continued to encourage his parents about testimonies from bible and would remind his mum that Jesus' finished work had healed him. For someone usually very hyper, he related w detail and accuracy what he learned on church. Made apt for 3rd MRI after exams, allowed Gabriel to continue swimming and learning wave board before scan. Gabriel confessed before scan that there will be no tumour and that the LORD l completely heal his skull and that his healing will be a testimony to others. Doc scanned and told them there was gd news. Lesion had regressed significantly. No sign of tumour anymore except for shadows to show shrinking of lesions had coz some scars. Bone restored just as he had prayed. Shared with doc they were Christians and that Christ had healed him. Gab shared w rock kid's teachers he was so thankful he wasn't the son of the doc or else would have been operated on the next day after first scan. Lol.
Christmas is such a special time where we can be used to share with people about Jesus coz they are open to learns out the LORD. Ps Prince first realised there is a God who loves him when he was young and he heard Christmas carols at a church.
Jesus not born on 25/12 but doesn't mean we don't celebrate Christmas, becoz we celebrate anything that glorifies Jesus. Blv Jesus born during feast of tabernacles.
Word was made flesh and DWELLED amongst us- dwelled = tabernacled.
John the baptist born six mths ahead of Jesus. When angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, she went to visit Elizabeth- Elizabeth was 6 mths preg then.
Luke 1:5 -Zachariah from division of Abijah.
V8-9... Serving in the order of his division.
King David had divided priests into 24 divisions. Schedule- One week for each of the divisions. Custom of his time. During May or June, Zac was serving. Count nine months- March or April, John was born. Passover. Count another six mths, discover Jesus born during feast of tabernacles.
Look at feast and have deeper revelation of what God did for us.
The first thing abt feast of tabernacles
Lev 23:39 KJV
15th day of 7th mth (grace and perfection)
1st and 8th day= Sabbath (REST)
Our life will start and end with rest in Jesus.
Hear the Word of Rest today and we shall start and end with Rest and increase.
In the City of David, born to us a Saviour- we dun have to strain and stress out because we have a savior.
When the children of Israel didn't rest- can learn from their mistake.
Ps95:7-11
Trial in the wilderness --- Exo 17:1-7
V1 commanded them to camp in Rephidim (resting and refreshing). They went, but in resting and refreshing, there was no water. So the people contended with Moses. Worried and anxious- followed and obeyed but upset with God becoz felt that they kenah tiok pian (cheated).
It is ne'er His fault and He won't be angry if we question Him during our ordeals. But the Herews here rejected that God was their provider- they wanted to give up on God and return to Egypt.
Testimony that a couple in Australia, Leon and Gerladine, had a baby called Ka'el prematurely. Both took communion in proxy for their child and next day, hospital told them of baby's extraordinary art improvement. Had single handedly ripped out the feeding tube from his stomach. Then he began to feed on his own- ie. He could start to suck the milk on his own. Shocked docs and nurses giving him 24/7 care. Nicknamed him Superman baby. Parents knew right away that Jesus had answered their prayer. What healed him? Jesus and His finished work through the communion. Hole in baby's heart was closed, appetite improved tremendously and baby is growing very well.
Sometimes when we think we rest, then we will see everything happen. Rest is just leaning and believing on Him.
V5-7... When we are unable to rest, we must look to the Cross. Look at how Jesus was struck. Jesus is the rock of our salvation. He was struck and water- rest and refreshing- gushed out.
Do not look at the circumstances. Do not judge me by the circumstances. Believe in what my Son has already done and stand on that.
U can tell him u feel discouraged and anxious BUT don't say God I don't believe, it won't happen.
Despite all the negative thoughts and emotion, speak faith over the situation.
They rested and went to Church camp an hour's drive away although baby was in hospital. Didn't go to the hospital to fret over baby, but trusted in the LORD.
Their eyes were on their Saviour and rested on the body that was broken and the blood that was shed. Believed that His Word is truth- that is rock.
And when u rest, u will surely receive. Amen.
Lev 23:39-43 NIV
See emphasis on celebration:
CELEBRATE the festival for 7 days
REJOICE before the LORD for 7 days
CELEBRATE this for 7 days each year
CELEBRATE it in the 7th mth.
7 feast days
Passover
Unleavened Bread (cruxifiction)
First fruit (resurrection)
Pentecost- marks birth of the church
Tabernacle (Jesus- birth)... Only feast where people asked to celebrate and rejoice.
Day of Atonement- NKJV say celebrate but means "observe" not "celebrate" if u check Hebrew.
Rejoicing is a choice that I make. God wants us to choose to keep our joy everyday becoz there are many things out there trying to rob our joy from us.
Isaiah 12:3- read on feast of tabernacles.
Many wells - how do we draw from these wells? With joy.
Many opportunities to lose our joy but don't let them rob u of ur joy. Joy is like the bucket u use to draw from the many wells. No joy. No bucket. Left with wounded spirit, bitter and angry.
It doesn't matter what the person said a out u even though it is untrue or malicious, let it go.
It is ok to give away my parking lot, but not ok to give away my joy. Although these things are small, but one of many foxes that come to spoil your vine.
So even if ur teacher said something about u, whether true or untrue, don't let it rob u of ur joy.
If u have been criticized, u have attempted something of worth and greatness.
If Satan cannot steal ur joy, he cannot steal ur goods. - Jerry Seville
Cheated of 3k during early years of preaching. Let go of the bitterness and released the guy in Bis getting. Went to the LORD. A few mths later, someone blessed him with 7x3000- 21k perfect restoration.
Gen 26:19-22
Isaac's servants dug the well. Laughter/ Joy's servant dug the well. Other people came to quarrel with him again. What did Isaac/Joy do? Joy let go off the quarrel and strife. Dug another well. Again quarrel erupted so Joy let go of "enmity"- didn't hold on. Third time, dug another well and they did not quarrel over it. Isaac named it "The LORD has made room for us". Rehoboam- spaciousness. When we let go of enmity and strife, the LORD GIVES US SPACIOUSNESS- a place of fruitfulness.
Jesus makes it easy for us to rest and rejoice.
Matt 11:28-30
His Yoke- under OT... see ACTS 15:10. Yoke was the yoke of the law under old cov. Yoke in new cov is yoke of the spirit of grace. We are now in Christ reconciled to our Father and the HS in us, the Spirit of grace, cries out Abba, Father.
The Yoke is easy becoz when u need help, the Spirit cries out to God- Abba Daddy!
John 7:37-38
Hoshanah Rabah- last day of the feast.
Priests will pour water from Siloam and mix with wine- symbolises Jesus the Living Word and the Spirit of God. Water libation ceremony- celebration of life. Rabbis say when u see the water and light ceremony u will know what joy is. But when u know Who He is, joy flows out.
V37- Jesus spells out to them if they have a need to go to Him and DRINK.
V38- he who believes in Me as the scripture has said (that I am ur redeemer, ur all in all), out of his belly will come out rivers of living water(- HS will come forth. "He who supplies the Spirit to u and works miracles among u..."- gal 3:5 He who supplies the Spirt, the Spirit works miracles - miracles will be supplied to u- simply by the hearing of faith.
Jn 9:1-7
Jesus- light.
Siloam- sent. Jesus is the sent one, the savior who was born. The pool.
When blind man went to Siloam to wash, light came and scattered the darkness and it is no more. True restoration and rest.
Inmate from Changi prison came across Solid Rock magazine that someone had brought in. Wrote to NCC to ask for more materials- Ps sent him "Destined to Reign". Read it 4x. Heart moved by Jesus. Had boils and didn't want medicine. After shower in the evening, sat in the presence of the LORD, fellowshipped with Him. Need to see doc pls see doc, but this guy saw the true substance and touched the light. Next morning and issued bread n tea for breakfast, partook it as holy communion. Boils take time to heal but that very same day, all his boils were miraculously healed. Hallelujah.
Our true joy, true light is Jesus.
