Peace and grace in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:16-20 is about the commandment to preach the gospel or to spread the light or shekinah glory. It is needed by the dark world in these last days.
The spread of the light or shekinah glory means we are employed by God in the great revival according to the great commission of the Lord as follows.
- [ay 18-19] The revival of Holy Spirit at the early rain.
Matthew 28:19
28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
It is the revival in gospel wordor the gospel of salvation. It is also called Good Tidings to bring the sinners to get the salvation through the water baptism.
Acts 1:8
1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
The direction of the revival of Holy Spirit at the early rain begins from Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, western countries, and eastern ones up to the end of the earth. According to the map of the gospel, the end of the earth is in Papua.
- The revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain.
Matthew 28:20
28:20 "teachingthem to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
It is the revival in the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ or the teaching Wordthat is sharper than any two-edged sword. It is called Bride Tidings to bring the people who have been saved to enter the building of Christ’s perfect body, be sanctified, and perfected to become the Bride of God who is ready to welcome Jesus’ second coming as Heavenly Bridegroom on glorious clouds, and then to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God.
Matthew 24:27
24:27 "For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
The direction is from the east to the west, Samaria, Judea, to Jerusalem or until the house of Israel receives Jesus.
The revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain is as the lightning.
Physically, it refers to the speed, namely via internet.
Revelation 11:7-10
11:7 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.
11:8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
11:9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three–and–a–half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.
11:10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
Spiritually, it means as follows.
- Speed movement, so we must not postpone.
We have to fast do something God has stirred in our heart through the Word.
- The direction cannot be changed or turned.
It means the revival must be in line with the true teaching Word, not be turned by the will of human.
- It cannot be hindered by anything.
Hindering the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain, one is facing God Himself.
We must be alert in the midst of the swift movement of the lightning.
Do not have a fever like Peter’s mother in law.
Matthew 8:14-168:14 Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
8:15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.
8:16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon–possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,
The mother in law refers to an old woman. Her duty is to prepare the daughter to become a bride.
Thus, the mother in law refers to
the people who have been in Bride Tidings for a long time. Unfortunately, she lies sick with a fever, meaning the people who have been in Bride Tidings for a long time become doubtful and lukewarm because of something in the world. The servant of God become doubtful because of money, the quantity of congregation, family, et cetera, as well as spiritual matters such as false teaching, gossips, et cetera.
The consequence of lying sick with the fever is as follows.
- Being unable to minister to God.
- There are many problems and tears.
- Being in the defect or imperfection.
- The first will become the last to perish forever.
The revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain is the revival of the building of the perfect body of Christ to make us become the Bride of God.
John 17:11,21-23
17:11 "Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, (1) that they may be one as We are.
17:21 (2) "that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
17:22 "And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, (3) that they may be one just as We are one:
17:23 "I in them, and You in Me; (4) that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
Jesus prays four times for the unity of the perfect body of Christ, meaning as follows.
- A serious desire.
- The desire of Jesus’ heart to unite the four corners of the earth in the one perfect body of Christ or the Bride of God who is ready to welcome Jesus’ second coming.
- It is not easy to unite the body of Christ.
It is easier to resurrect Lazarus who has been dead for four days than to unite the body of Christ. Formerly, Jesus was also rejected by His family.
John 7:3-4
7:3 His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing.
7:4 "For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."
Judas Iscariot is shepherded by Jesus Himself who is perfect but finally he becomes a traitor. Therefore, there is no human can unite the body of Christ but Jesus.
It is difficult to unite the body of Christ but there is nothing impossible for the Lord. Not only praying or lifting up the smoke of incense, Jesus also brings His own blood.
John 2:19-21
2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
2:20 Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty–six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"
2:21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
He must be willing to be cursed through His death on the cross to make the transition from the physical temple using the Law system that is only for the house of Israel to the spiritual one using the system of God’s mercy, so the Gentiles may take part in it.
Jesus, the High Priest, does the reconciliation ministry with the incense and blood to bring the sinners to enter the unity of the perfect body of Christ, so they can be God’s Bride who is glorified together with Him forever.
If we want to enter the unity of the body of Christ, we must pray many more and experience the sprinkling of blood to remove all our sins. We have to be in silence when we find no sin in our life.
The requirement of entering the unity of the body of Christ is as follows.
- One body must have one Head, namely Jesus Himself.
John 1:1,14
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Jesus as the one Head means the true teaching Word that is born as human.
We must have one Head, namely the true teaching Word that is the revelation of God, if we want to enter the unity of the body. Moreover, we also need the oneness in holiness and perfection.
Thus, we must have one true teaching Word if we want to enter the oneness of the perfect body of Christ. Do not add or eliminate the quantity of the books in Bible as well as the contents.
The oneness without the true teaching Word will only last until the death comes.
On the contrary, the oneness in marriage, shepherding, and inter-shepherding based on the true teaching Word will result in eternal oneness of the body of Christ. The dead will be risen when Jesus comes a second time and we will meet again in the one body of Christ.
We must exalt and believe in the true teaching Word.
Hebrews 4:12-13
4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two–edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
4:13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
The true teaching Word is same as the Word that is sharper than any two-edged sword sanctifying our heart, mind, deeds, and saying until we reach the perfect body of Christ.
James 3:2
3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
The sign of perfection is when we do not lie or stumble in word.
Revelation 19:6-7
19:6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
19:7 "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
Not stumbling in word means we only say "Alleluia". We welcome Jesus’ second coming on glorious clouds.
Different voices of worship mean the head or teaching is different. On the contrary, the same voices of worship mean the teaching is one.
- We must minister to God in the building of the body of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-12
4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
4:12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
The requirement is as follows.
- We must live in holiness in the true teaching Word.
- We are equipped with the ministry and the gifts of Holy Spirit.
They are our place in the body of Christ. The ministry and the gifts of Holy Spirit may be different but they must cooperate by the encouragement of the one command from the one Head. If there is the one Head, there must be cooperation but there will be contentions if the command is different.
If we minister to God with holiness and togetherness in the one command of the true teaching Word, we will have on tunic of many colors. It will determine the beauty of our life. How naked our life is now, God will give us the tunic of many colors if we want to return to the one true teaching Word. Be alert because there will be contradictory thing.
The result of ministering to God with holiness and togetherness is as follows.
- We have on the tunic of many colors, meaning we have beautiful life, marriage, ministry, and future.
- We can dwell together in unity and God commands the blessing.
Psalm 133:1-3
133:1 <<A Song of Ascents. Of David.>>Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!
133:2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments.
133:3 It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing––Life forevermore.
Dwelling together in unity means we have one heart with one voice. As a result, God commands His blessings to go to us, both physical blessings and spiritual ones. We have the blessing of the anointing of Holy Spirit, so we have satisfaction, not dryness, in our life and we have the blessing of eternal life.
- There must be peace, meaning there is no war, enmity, or divorce.
Ephesians 4:15-16
4:15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head––Christ––
4:16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
The cause of the war, enmity, or divorce are evil sins such as jealousy, revenge, hatred, and bad thought as well as uncleanness sins such as sins concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage. Moreover, it is also caused by self-truth many people often do not realize as follows.
- The truth outside the true teaching Word or Bible.
- Covering the sins by blaming other people, God, and the true teaching Word.
- Covering the sins by pretending to do good things.
The truth which is according to the Bible indeed hurts our flesh, but God will help us.
The process of getting the peace is through confessing and forgiving one another.
As a result, we feel the peace, rest, relief, and quietness from God.
The result of having the peaceful heart is as follows.
- We experience the creation powerof God, so all things become easy and light.
Matthew 11:28-30
11:28 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
11:29 "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
11:30 "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- We experience victory powerto crush Satan, so all bad things can be made good, failed things can be made successful, and tears can be made beauty and joy in His time.
Romans 16:20
16:20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
- We experience the power of God’ preservationin our physical and spiritual life wonderfully.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
5:24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
Physically, it is the power to create something that does not exist yet.
Spiritually, it is power to sanctify and renew us to become new man as Jesus is.
Jesus has died on the cross to prove that He is faithful and will do all His promises.
God blesses you.
