Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation21:22
21:22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
In the New Jerusalem city, there is no physical temple anymore because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Therefore, from now on we must use the temple, namely our body, for serving and ministering to God until being able to see and experience the work of the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb until we enter the New Jerusalem.
The facts of seeing and experiencing the work of the Lord God Almighty are as follows:
God blesses us.
Revelation21:22
21:22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
In the New Jerusalem city, there is no physical temple anymore because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Therefore, from now on we must use the temple, namely our body, for serving and ministering to God until being able to see and experience the work of the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb until we enter the New Jerusalem.
The facts of seeing and experiencing the work of the Lord God Almighty are as follows:
- Making eternal covenant with Abram and his descendants.
Genesis 17:1-8
17:1. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.
17:2. "And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."
17:3. Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying:
17:4. "As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.
17:5. "No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.
17:6. "I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.
17:7. "And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendantsafter you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.
17:8. "Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."
As for the Lord God Almighty is as follows:- Abram was blessed up to his descendants and became blessings.
- Canaan, the promised land, was given to Abram and his descendants.
17:9. And God said to Abraham: "As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.
17:10. "This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised;
17:11. "and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.
As for Abram, Abram and his descendants must be circumcised, so Abram became Abraham. His name was added by 'ah' that came from God's name, namely Jehovah.
Colossians 2:11-12
2:11. In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
2:12. buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
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,
Now, it means the spiritual circumcision, namely the true water baptism. One who has died to sin or repented must be buried in the water with Jesus in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, namely the Lord Jesus Christ, and come out or rise from water with Him to receive new life or the heavenly one.
1 Peter 3:20-21
3:20. who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
3:21. There is also an antitype which now saves us--baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good consciencetoward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
We experience the renewal from the heart that tends to do evil continually to good conscience, namely obedience.
Genesis 6:9
6:9. This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
The facts are as follows:- Living in righteousness and sincerity.
- Walking with God. It means ministering to God faithfully and fervently.
6:8. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
As a result, we live in God's mercy.
The results are as follows:- Experiencing God's protection from disaster, the Antichrist, and God's punishment. We are saved and not destroyed.
- Experiencing God's preservation in the midst of the difficulties of the world physically and spiritually. We experience peace, so all things become easy and light.
- Abram was blessed up to his descendants and became blessings.
- The Lord God Almighty rebukes and instructs us.
Job 5:17-18
5:17. "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
5:18. For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
3:16. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
3:17. that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
The Word of God whose secret is revealed through one verse that explains the other verses in the Holy Bible is the same as the true teaching Word that is sharper than any two-edged sword.
The first sharp edge teaches or sanctifies us from hidden sins.
The second sharp edge instructs or renews our life.
We must receive the work of the Lord God Almighty to teach and instruct us. It means that we must hear and obey the true teaching Word that is sharper than any two edged-sword.
The results are as follows:- Experiencing the sharpness of the sword of the teaching Word to purify us.
Matthew 5:27-28
5:27. "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
5:28. "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
It starts from the heart that is purified from the things as follows:- The unclean spirit, namely the sin of eating-drinking and marrying-giving in marriage.
- The wicked desire, the will of money that makes one become greedy and stingy.
- Bitterness, namely envy, hatred, and revenge.
Matthew 5:29
5:29. "If your right eyecauses you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
The physical sight just looks at the physical thing. The unclean sight is purified, so our eyes only see Jesus, the High Priest who sits at the right hand of the throne of the Father God.
Matthew 5:30
5:30. "And if your right handcauses you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
The sinful deed is purified to become holy one that pleases God and others.
Matthew 5:31-32
5:31. "Furthermore it has been said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'
5:32. "But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.
The hard heart or self-truth must be purified as follows:- The truth which is not according to the word of God is purified to return to the true teaching Word.
- Covering sin by blaming at God and others is purified to become the truth of God, namely we confess and forgive sin one another.
Matthew 5:33,36-37
5:33. "Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.'
5:36. "Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.
5:37. "But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
The mouth is purified from the idle words such as lie, gossip, evil speaking, and blasphemy to become honest and true.
Genesis 37:2
37:2. This is the history of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father.
As a result, we can live in holiness.
Exodus 29:1
29:1. "And this is what you shall do to them to hallow them for ministering to Me as priests: Take one young bull and two rams without blemish,
We are appointed as the priests and kings, so we are equipped with the ministry and gift. It is the same as receiving the tunic of many colors. We are appointed as the living stones.
1 Peter 2:5
2:5. you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
We are used in the revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain or the building of the body of Christ.
Being the living stones means that we live by God's mercy, so we can live anywhere, anytime, and in any circumstances up to eternal life. - The unclean spirit, namely the sin of eating-drinking and marrying-giving in marriage.
- Experiencing the sharpness of the sword of the teaching Word to instruct, change, and form our character to become as Jesus, namely obedience until the flesh does not speak anymore.
Genesis 37:12-13
37:12. Then his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
37:13. And Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them." So he said to him, "Here I am."
Shechem means the shoulder. It refers to the responsibility.
Being appointed as the priests and kings, our responsibility is becoming the servant of God who is holy and obedient.
2 Timothy 3:17
3:17. that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
We can always do the good works until we repay good for evil.
As a result, God makes all things well. The thing that has been destroyed can be good. All become beauty and success in due time although we are limited like Joseph who is put into the prison.
Genesis 39:21,23
39:21. But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
39:23. The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph's authority, because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper.
- Experiencing the sharpness of the sword of the teaching Word to purify us.
- The Lord God Almighty breathes into our nostrils the breath of Holy Spirit, so we have the understanding.
Job 32:8
32:8. But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
The results are as follows:- We understand that God really exists, so we have the fear of God. It means having fear of doing sins. We do not follow the lust of the flesh like an animal that just commits sins up to the peak. By the anointing of Holy Spirit, we can follow the will of God, so we do not commit sin.
- Holy Spirit helps us to worship God with a broken heart.
Romans 8:26
8:26. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
22:60. But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
22:61. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
22:62. So Peter went out and wept bitterly.
Peter doubted to God Himself, so he denied God three times. It means denying the Trinity of God. His body, soul, and spirit denied God, so God turned away from him. He did not look at Peter anymore, so he should have been destroyed.
But the crow of rooster or the repeated shepherding Word in the three kinds of main service in the sheepfold can show the repeated sins and destroy them. It is the same as the merciful sight of God, the Great Shepherd to us.
Our attitude is weeping bitterly or having broken heart. We confess our sins and failures. We can totally trust and commit ourselves to God.
So, God stretches out His merciful hand to us. The results are as follows:- Not one of bones is broken.
Psalm 34:18-20
34:18. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
34:19. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
34:20. He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken.
We experience the power of resurrection of God to unify us in the perfect body of Christ.
We also experience the power of victory to finish all of impossible problems. - Not one hair of our head shall fall.
Matthew 10:30
10:30. "But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
God is able to protect and take care of us who are powerless in the midst of the difficulties of the world. - There are no more tears.
Revelation 21:4
21:4. "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."
We experience the renewal of life from doubt to believe belief in God, from emotion to patience, and from lie to honesty.
It continues up to perfection to greet Jesus when He comes a second time as well as entering the New Jerusalem to see the Lord God Almighty.
- We understand that God really exists, so we have the fear of God. It means having fear of doing sins. We do not follow the lust of the flesh like an animal that just commits sins up to the peak. By the anointing of Holy Spirit, we can follow the will of God, so we do not commit sin.
God blesses us.
