The theme is
"Go into the Vineyard" (Matthew 20:1-16).
God does not want that we are idle. He wants us to work in His vineyard.
He gives us the true direction of working for Him or serving and ministering to Him, namely the work in the vineyard. It means the service and ministry that aim at the edifying of the perfect body of Christ or the Heavenly Bride who is worthy to welcome Jesus' second coming on the glorious clouds. It is said as the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain or the edifying of the perfect body of Christ. It starts from the marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding, up to the one perfect body of Christ between the house of Israel and Gentiles to enter the New Jerusalem.
Who may work in the vineyard? The priests and kings of the house of Israel and the Gentiles may work in the vineyard. A priest refers to one who is holy to bear the ministry.
The foundation to work in the vineyardis the wage, love, and grace of God.
The time and type of the workrefer to the perseverance in doing the Bible Study Service with Holy Communion, being active in the edifying of the body of Christ, and burning the incense or worshiping God.
Matthew 20:12
20:12 "saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'
What must be done by the Gentiles in one hour?
Mark 14:37
14:37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
The worship prayer for one hour is related to Gethsemane, namely the pressing of olive fruits or the tearing of flesh to result in the oil of the anointing of Holy Spirit. It refers to the figure forty.
There are three kinds of worship prayer for one hour which is related to Gethsemane or the pressing to the flesh as follows.
- The prayer for one hour is the process to tear the flesh with all of its lusts.
Revelation 18:16-17a
18:16 "and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!
18:17 'For in one hoursuch great riches came to nothing.'
- To make us not fall in the sins of Babylon, namely the sins concerning eating-drinking such as smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse, as well as the ones concerning marrying-being given in marriage such as sexuality sin with all of its kinds, wrong marriage, mixed-marriage, divorce and remarrying, and marrying-being given in marriage.
- To make us not perish with Babylonthat will be destroyed in one hour.
Do not be hopeless or disappointed when you are in deficiency. Let us always give thanks to God.
- To make us experience the oil of the anointing of Holy Spirit, so we can live in righteousness and holiness. We are used in the ministry for the edifying of the perfect body of Christ. We indeed need to sacrifice in the ministry, but actually we are placing Jesus as the Head in doing that thing.
- The prayer for one hour is the process to tear the characteristics of the flesh.
Luke 22:57-60
22:57 But he denied Him, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him."
22:58 And after a little while another saw him and said, "You also are of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"
22:59 Then after about an hourhad passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, "Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a Galilean."
22:60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
One of the characteristics of the flesh is the fear to sacrifice for the Lord. If this characteristic is torn, we will not deny Jesus like Peter.
Denying the Lord or the fear to sacrifice for the Lord means as follows.
- Not holding fast to the true teaching. One still mixes the true teaching with the others.
- Not being faithful and fervent in spirit in serving and ministering to God. Moreover, one leaves the service and ministry to the Lord like Judas Iscariot.
- Not believing in Jesus anymore. Moreover, one leaves Jesus.
Through the prayer for one hour, we get the anointing of Holy Spirit, so we do not deny the Lord. We can have the fear of the Lord as follows.
- We hold fast the true teachingand do not give any opportunity to hear the other teachings regardless of anything we must sacrifice.
- We keep faithful and fervent in spiritin serving and ministering to God.
Psalm 90:10,12
90:10 The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
90:12 So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
If our long age for about seventy or eighty years is only used for physical things, we will only experience the sorrow and suffering.
On the contrary, if we use our long age for about seventy or eighty years to serve to God in the anointing of Holy Spirit, get the heavenly wisdom, and keep on holding fast the true teaching Word, we will be more faithful and fervent in spirit in serving and ministering to God.
Matthew 10:32-33
10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
10:33 "But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.
As a result, God remembers and pleads us from now in the world until we enter the heavenly kingdom.
- The prayer for one hour is the process to tear the fleshly desires which are not in line with the Word of God.
Mark 14:38
14:38 "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
It is useful to make us not fall in the temptation.
James 1:13-15
1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
1:14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.
1:15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
The fleshly desires have the power to entice and draw one to go outside the will of God or the railway track until he falls like a train. The greater the train is, the more the destruction is.
Walking outside the true teaching Word after falling in temptations, one will find the dead-end and perdition.
Nevertheless, we give thanks to God because we get the process to tear the desires of the flesh through the prayer for one hour. We can stay in the railway track of the will of God regardless of any risk we have to take. We only cry out "Abba, Father".
Mark 14:36
14:36 And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
John 10:27-28
10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
10:28 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
We get the guarantee of assurance to defeat enemies; even the trinity of Satan is defeated. We also have the guarantee of assurance to preserve our life from now on until we have beautiful future and eternal life.
The source of the oil of the anointing of Holy Spirit is the cross of Christ.
The function is as follows.
- To solve impossible problems which hinder us to serve and minister to God.
2 Kings 4:1-7
4:1 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves."
4:2 So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil."
4:3 Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors--empty vessels; do not gather just a few.
4:4 "And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones."
4:5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.
4:6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another vessel." So the oil ceased.
4:7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest."
For example, we pray and worship God for one hour to tear our flesh until the oil of the anointing of Holy Spirit flows in us and all problems in marriage, children, economy, and heart that suffers in sadness and distress will be solved. All things become beautiful in His time.
- To make our lamp keep on shining until Jesus comes a second time. We keep faithful and fervent in spirit in serving and ministering to God until Jesus comes a second time. We are renewed continually until we become the perfect bride of God when Jesus comes a second time.
God blesses you.
