Your Sins Will Not Be Screened In Heaven by Joseph Prince
Hebrews 10:17
17then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
When I was a young Christian growing up in Singapore, I read a little tract entitled This Was Your Life. In that tract, it said that when you get to heaven, God will replay your entire life, including all your sins, on a huge video screen for all the angels and other saints to watch!
The idea that God was making such a video of my life with the intention of screening it for everyone to watch used to make me feel awful and condemned before God. How could I ever stand boldly in His presence? And how was I going to face my loved ones and Christian friends in heaven?
I was a nervous wreck, thinking about all my sins that God was recording down, until I read this in the Bible: “Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.” (Romans 4:8) Hallelujah! I jumped for joy when I found out that God was not counting my sins against me, and that He has given me something called “non-imputation of sins”!
My friend, the reason that God does not impute any of our sins to us is that He has already imputed all of them to the body of His Son Jesus when He hung on the cross 2,000 years ago. Not only that, when God punished His Son for our sins, He caused the curse of the law to fall stroke by stroke upon Jesus’ entire body until every curse had been fully satisfied. That is why we have been redeemed from the curse of the law. (Galatians 3:13) That is why, instead of imputing sin to us, God imputes righteousness!
God wants us to know that our sins and lawless deeds He will remember no more. The words “no more” in the original Greek text carry a strong double-negative meaning. In other words, God is saying, “No way, by no means, will I ever remember your sins again!”
Beloved, since God says that He will remember your sins no more, why do you still remember them? Or for that matter, your spouse’s or neighbor’s sins? God does not want you to be conscious of sins because He is not. So rejoice! Come to Him boldly and expect Him to show you mercy and grace because He remembers your sins no more!

God Knows You Intimately by Joseph Prince
God Knows You Intimately by Joseph Prince
Matthew 10:30
30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
As much as I love my wife and daughter, I have never bothered to count the number of hairs on their heads. I don’t have the time to do so and I doubt I will ever want to.
Every day, your hair drops. Yet, God knows how many hairs are left on your head. And He also knows how many are growing back! He knows because He bothers to count them again. When it comes to you, He always has time for every little thing about you.
So when Jesus said, “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered,” He was not exaggerating. He never exaggerates. He means what He says and He says what He means. So for the Lord to say that the very hairs of your head are all numbered means that He wants you to know that He is very interested in you and has intimate knowledge about you — your body, family, finances, relationships… everything in your life!
He knows the pain you have been having in your body. He is aware of the financial worry which you have been keeping from your family. He sees how your nasty boss is treating you. He understands the hurts you have been keeping in your heart. He hears your heart’s cry for a miracle baby.
Your heavenly Father wants you to know that as long as something concerns you, He does not overlook it, even if it is about your pet, as a church member found out. She panicked when she first discovered that her pet terrapin had gone blind. Then, remembering my messages on confessing healing for our bodies, she did the same for her pet! Three months later, the terrapin’s eyes were wide open and able to see!
God knows you intimately. He knows every small problem you are worried about and every single burden you have. And when you approach Him for help, He has all the time for you as if no one else exists. That is how valuable you are to Him and how absorbed He is in you!

Lean Not On Your Own Understanding
You know as a Christian, there will be confusions, frustrations, depressions that will go with you along the way.
But fret not. Because it is just temporary.
Jesus is in you now, and His job is to redeem you from every discomforts that the devil will try to throw on your way.
He will do everything to block you so you'd lose focus in Jesus and stop seeking for the Truth.
Take note that devil plays well with your mind and manipulate the circumstances around you so instead of praising or thanking God , you'd end up questioning Him more.
The way to deal with this is
to say this to Jesus...
"Lord, I may be confused right now. But please, whatever I have in mind or be doing please JUST DON'T LET ME GO!"
Just that!
Simple, right??
I used these words a hundred times.
When my father died just when i turned to be a Christian. And a month after that when my sister followed him.
Questions of hate, words of frustrations and disappointments were there.
But I knew then that the truth wasn't based on my feelings.
So I asked Jesus not to let me go.
Forward after 3 years...
Here I am.
Still stuck in the Lord. Loving, Preaching and sharing His words that have lifted me up and enjoying life Victoriously each day so others may be out of bondage.
Yes. Do not lean on your own understanding. Because it will only deceive and push you away.
Trust only in His words.
His guidance.
His love.
His blessings,
And protection.
You are blessed to know that God loves you so.
And soon, as more revelations like the love of God has for you, you will get to enjoy Life each day
Victoriously!
Even with some little setbacks and a bit of problems that could attack you now and then. It won't matter anymore! You will just smile on it say to the devil,
" devil, tsk! You are such a loser! I am covered by Jesus blood! Can't you see? Hahah!"
My beloved friend,
You are standing on a solid ground
Because of Jesus!
So rejoice and be glad in it!
Like I said, do not trust your own understanding. Trust only in Him...

Blessed With The Excellent And The Plenty by Joseph Prince
Blessed With The Excellent And The Plenty by Joseph Prince
Deuteronomy 28:4
4“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.
Would you want to buy a chair that Jesus made? I would, even if it cost US$1,000 because it would be of superb quality. Whatever Jesus did, He did it with perfect excellence.
And because Christ is in you, the things which you produce will be of exceptional quality too. That includes your children, who will be champions. Deuteronomy 28:4 says, “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”.
God was using terms that the Israelites understood since they were farmers and shepherds. Today, “your ground” is the place of your work. This means that “the produce” of your work shall be of excellent quality.
That is not all. God promises that quantity will always follow quality because Deuteronomy 28:11 says that the Lord will “grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body,” which means that you will have plenty of children, “in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground,” which means that your business will flourish and you will be a leading producer in the area of your specialty.
My friend, your excellence and plenty do not come by your efforts. They come by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who paid for your prosperity — “though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich”. (2 Corinthians 8:9)
Jesus was made destitute of all material things at the cross. He had nothing! As He hung on the cross, He watched the Roman soldiers gamble for His robe. His last possession on earth was gambled away. He became poor, so that you could be blessed with the excellent and the plenty!

Accept Jesus as Your Saviour while You Still Can.
We had a dinner with my Buddhist,Chinese colleague last Friday and in between our conversation,
We somehow unintentionally touched a very sensitive topic. -- "Death".
Our other colleague's younger brother died while sleeping. While her deceased husband dropped died while having a vacation in his homeland China.
Both we're in good shape.
Then I told her,
"Yes. Death can happen to anyone, anywhere. Even while you're sleeping. That's why , you better make sure, you accept Jesus as your Savior first before letting go of your last breath because we don't know what's on the other side. Hell or Heaven may be true or not true but who cares.
The Bible says, Jesus saves our soul so for the last time, why not make that decision. It's FREE to accept Him anyway."
Then she replied," yeah true ah? Yes. I will do that. "
I didn't know why I told her that casually. I didn't mean of scaring her off actually. Hahah!
But well, at least, I gave her some options.
:)
By the way, I'm on my way to New Creation now. Gona serve my church at the last service. I am serving Video ministry handling Camera 4. Wooot! It's getting more and more exciting for me. Yeeeheeeeey!
Thank you Jesus for this new and awesome life!
Sooooo lovin' it!

Creation Can’t But Redemption Can! by Joseph Prince
Happy blessed Sunday everyone!

Creation Can’t But Redemption Can! by Joseph Prince
John 9:7
7And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.
When Adam sinned and fell, everything about creation fell. Yet, people today are still putting their trust in creation. For example, they try to become healthy by eating what is called the “Eden diet” — vegetables and no meat. They are acting as if creation did not fall. They also forget that there are people who eat well and exercise regularly, and still drop dead in the prime of their lives!
Thank God that what creation cannot do, redemption can and did. Jesus demonstrated this when He spat on the ground, made clay with the saliva and put it on a blind man’s eyes. (John 9:6–7) Now, it is certainly unusual to put clay on a blind man’s eyes because he would become doubly blind!
So why did Jesus do that?
He was demonstrating to us that all our body parts come from the ground and that because creation is fallen, the work of creation cannot open a blind man’s eyes. But the work of redemption can! That is why He sent the blind man to the pool of Siloam. The word “Siloam” means “Sent”, referring to the sent one, Jesus. When the blind man washed his eyes in the pool of the sent one, he received supernatural healing for his eyes.
Beloved, when we go to Jesus, the sent one who came to redeem us with the price of His blood, and we rest in His finished work, we will receive the miracle we need. If we believe that by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), we will have greater health than those who trust in creation.
Jesus was sent to redeem us from every curse that came upon creation with the fall of Adam. (Galatians 3:13) He has redeemed us from sickness, pain, sorrow, depression, poverty and even death. The world may know Him as the Creator. But today, we know Him as our Redeemer. Where the work of creation cannot save us, His work of redemption can and has!
