Jesus

To Elder HoKiatKoh

This email is entirely typed out by me since 10:30am. PLEASE READ all that I've written! Please don't just glance through! God bless.

I will apologise to my mother cos I know she loves me very much. Same with God too. "We love because He first loved us". And because you know God loves you alot and that's why you won't want to ill treat your mother.
But firstly, when we say sorry to our mothers, we dont say I've done this and this and a long list of confessions to her right? Its like we both know you don't have to in every wrongdoing to yr mother you confess it right? Saying sorry to her is like "Mum, that time I scolded you, I'm sorry for that". We sometimes too when we do wrong things to our mother, we go up to her and tell her "Mum, I have done something wrong, i'm sorry."

Be clear that if you don't confess your sins, it doesn't mean you don't say sorry. You don't need to confess your sins to be forgiven with God because He has already forgiven you with Jesus Christ. Then, after you know that you have been forgiven by God, you will feel sorry from your spirit and then you would go up to God and say sorry, cry out to Him. NOT that we HAVEN'T been forgiven, and we need to Confess our sins TO be forgiven. You understand what I'm saying?
That means, ask yourself, are you forgiven because you confessed your sins or are you forgiven because of Jesus Christ?

About yr health and wealth gospel: there is only one gospel, and that is the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is not that God owns the universe and therefore you as His children have to be rich. his preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ is that because Jesus was made poor for our sakes, that through him, we may become rich. It is not that Jesus never fall sick, so you should not fall sick. If you fall sick, then it is the devil and something is very wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you when you fall sick. But Jesus was bruised so that we may become healed. He was wounded so that we may be well. You must understand that. Ask the Holy Spirit to look to Jesus in whatever you think.

We are blessed not because of what we do. We are blessed because of what Jesus has done on the cross. When God blesses you with prosperity, financial blessings are included, but only as a small part of the whole. About yr "lifestyle of Jesus", Jesus died without a home, so that we may have homes. Jesus died rejected by His people, so that we may be accepted by God through Christ Jesus. You understand what I mean? We don't compare pastor to pastor because every pastor can be richly blessed by God.

Ho Kiat, it is not when we confess our SINS that we show gratitude to Him. It is when we know God sent Jesus down to die for us, THEN we show gratitude to him. When we know God loves us so much, we THEN tell him, God, I'm sorry for that sin that hurts you. It's not because the birds and animals were expensive for sacrifice that God sent his lamb for us. He sacrificed Jesus as the sacrificial lamb because He loves us.

I find that you contradict yourself when you say things, like for example, you say that we need to confess our sins to be forgiven. But then you then say about Jesus died for us on the cross then every time we are conscious of the wrong we have done, we say sorry to God through Jesus.
So you get why it's contradictory?
First point is we have to confess our sins in order to be forgiven, then second point is we come to God and we love him and say sorry to Him BECAUSE OF JESUS, because we have been forgiven by God ALREADY. You do nothing and you can do nothing. So which is which?

Do we confess our sins TO BE FORGIVEN? Or we are already forgiven so we can't help but be sorry for our sins that we have done?

This contradiction is what i call a mixture of law and grace.
We have to rightly divide the word to be law or grace.

Just want to tell you about what is law and grace:

The Law was given, Grace came.

Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Amen.

Under law, God Demanded righteousness, from bankrupt men.

Under grace, God IMPARTED Righteousness, and He gives to men.

Under law, the soul that sins, will die!

But under grace, because Jesus died, even though you sin, there is no more death for you.

Are you listening?

Under Law, God said I'll by NO Means - very strong language, I'll by no means, clear your sins, your guilty. But I'll visit their sins to the third and fourth generation. That is, under law.

But Under Grace, God uses the same language, I'll by NO MEANS remember your sins, Anymore. That's been a change. Hallelujah!

But still we hear people preaching, Do good get good, do bad get bad! - That's the law!

Grace, is not like every religion of the world, teaches do good get good, do bad get bad!

But what is grace? Grace is you can receive good you Don't deserve, Because Jesus receives all Your Bad he don't deserve.

The first miracle of Law by Moses was water willl turn to blood, resulting in DEATH.
The first miracle of Grace is Jesus turning water into wine, resulting in LIFE and CELEBRATION! Hallelujah!

When God gave the Law on Mount Sinai, btw do you know that last Wednesday was the Feast of Pentacost, Sahhun. The Jews celebrate Pentacost, for the giving of the Law. Do you know how many Jewish friends, they'll tell you they celebrate Pentacost because Pentacost reminds them of the giving of the Law.

But notice that the New Testament, in Acts chapter 2, when the day of Pentacost was Fully come, God gave not the Law but the SPIRIT!

Alright, over here on Mount Sinai, when God gave the law on the first Pentacost, 50 days from Passover it teaches, on Mount Sinai. When God gave them the law, 3000 people died at the foot of the mountain.

In the New Testament, when the day of the Pentacost was fully come, God gave the SPIRIT and 3000 people were Saved at the foot of the mountain.

Which proves the Law Kills, but the Spirit, Gives LIFE.

Have you moved mountains? Have you moved your pulpit from Mount Sinai to Mount Zion?

God has moved mountains, have you realised that?

God is no longer at Mount Sinai, God is at Mount Zion.

And those who are established at Mount Zion will never be shakened, forever.
They who trust in the Lord will be at Mount Zion, they'll no longer be old, it's anew!

The old covenant based on the law, even the Ten Commandments came from Mount Sinai.

The Bible calls the Ten Commmandment the Ministry of Death! 2 Corinthians 3 Very clearly tells us, because some people will say, this law we are no longer under is not Ten Commandments, it's actually ceremonial Law - we no longer kill animals we no longer circumcize our children.

But watch this, not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything of ourselves but Sufficiency is from God! who ALSO made us sufficient. Who made us sufficient? God. As ministers of the New Covenant.

Always remember, if you wanna preach the old covenant, God will not help you.

Have you noticed that people who fight for the ten commandments, alright, they hardly memorise the Ten Commandments.

It seems like the Holy Spirit refuses to help you memorise the ten commandments. What is the 6th commandment, hmm hmm...

Notice the Holy Spirit doesnt help you,

But the Holy Spirit helps even little children memorise: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."

I understand the heart of people who are fighting to put the Ten Commandments in pubilc schools, I understand. They want morality. Alright.

But we should be fighting to put John 3:16 in every public school.

Because grace, is what would meet our young people.

GRACE is what would cause the dominion of sin to cease our their lives. Can I have a good Amen.

Alright so, the Ministry of Death

God made us sufficient as the Ministers of New Covenant, is not gonna help you minister the old covenant, nor of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter Kills, but the Spirit gives Life! Like the first pentacost, God give the law, it kills, but the last Pentacost, the Spirit gives life.

Have you noticed that the First Pentacost, when God gave the law, it meant was "You shall Not, You Shall Not! You Shall Not!" It makes you introspective, it makes you, place demands on yourself when you are spiritual bankrupt. God knew that but Man did not know that.

Alright, so when God gave the Law it's all about Men's work, "You shall not, You Shall Not, You Shall Not"

But when God gave the Spirit, on Mount Zion, they all ran off, speaking in Languages, Magnifying the wonderful work of God.

Under Law, Men's works are magnified.
Under Grace, God's work are magnified.

It's magnified in such a way, natural tongues cannot express it.

Because we talk about the wonderful works of God, Human tongues fail.

Do you feel that your direct access to God has been blocked by sin? Dear, please know that now, no sin can block us from directly reaching for God. You know why? Because it is paid for by Jesus.

Confession of our sins is different from confession in Jesus name you know? Confession of sins BY OURSELVES to be forgiven is different from confession of your sorryness IN JESUS you know?

About the washing clothes thing, yes, we come to Jesus to be renewed in the spirit. But remember you are whiter than snow. I have to stop here for now. Its a long message.

I've been greatly blessed by a pastor too.

God bless.
