Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 11:13-14
11:13. In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the Godof heaven.
11:14 The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.

This is the second woe or the sound of the sixth trumpet, namely the great earthquake or the physical and spiritual shocks which happen to the world and the church because of rejecting the sound of the trumpet or the true teaching Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword.

After receiving the gospel or the Good News, we must continue to the teaching Word for being worthy to welcome Jesus' second coming.

The physical and spiritual shock or earthquake causes the following three things:
  1. 'a tenth of the city fell' (it has been explained in General Service in Malang, June 14, 2020to Prayer Service in Malang, June 18, 2020).
  2. 'seven thousand people were killed'(it has been explained in General Service in Malang, June 21, 2020to Prayer Service in Malang, June 25, 2020).
  3. 'the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven'(it has been explained in General Service in Malang, June 28, 2020).

All of them refer to the shocks in the church, especially about God's possession as follows:

  1. 'a tenth of the city fell'= the tithe is shaken by the power of mammon.
  2. 'seven thousand people were killed'= the temple is shaken by the false prophet, so the service and ministry become false.
  3. 'the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven'= the shock about the bride of God which is done by Satan.

ad. 3.

Glorifying the God of heaven is the same as glorifying the name of Jesus.
We talk about the fear.

There are two kinds of fear which happen to men or the church in facing the great shock or God's judgment as follows:

  1. The negativefear, namely the fear of God's judgment until one becomes disappointed and hopeless as well as leaves the service and ministry and wants to do the suicide.
    Revelation 6:13-16
    6:13. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
    6:14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
    6:15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,
    6:16 and said to the mountains and rocks, "
    Fall on usand hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!

    The spiritual suicide means being dead spiritually or there is no relationship between the body and the Head.
    Such person cannot become the heavenly bride; even he perishes forever.

  2. The positivefear, namely the fear of the Lord and glorifying God in heaven.
    Revelation 11:13
    11:13. In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the Godof heaven.

Revelation 6:17
6:17. "For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

Who is able to stand on the day of Jesus' second coming and be set free from God's judgment in the world? Ones who try hard to glorify God from now on, not to make Him grieved or ashamed are. So, we will not get the judgment when He comes a second time, but be glorified with Him forever. We become His possession forever.

There are three things which must be heeded so that we can glorify God until someday we are glorified to be the heavenly bride and with Him forever as follows:

  1. We must have the fear of the Lord.
    It means as follows:

    • Hating sins up to the lies, so we can live in righteousness.
      Proverbs 8:13
      8:13. The fear of the LORDis to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.


    • Serving and ministering to God in faithfulness and sincerity. It means without any intention to get the profit.
      Joshua 24:14-15
      24:14. " Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Himin sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD!
      24:15 "And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."


    Thus, having the fear of the Lord, one becomes the instruments of righteousness or God's servants who serve and minister to Him in faithfulness and sincerity. In such condition, we can glorify God.

    Thus we must be God's servant who is righteous, faithful and sincere like Noah for glorifying His name.
    Genesis 6:8-9
    6:8. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
    6:9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a
    justman, perfectin his generations. Noah walked with God.

    'walked with God' = faithfulness.
    If we can glorify God, we will live by His mercy. Ones who live outside His mercy will die because of the flood.

    Genesis 6:5-7
    6:5. Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
    6:6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and
    He was grieved in His heart.
    6:7 So the LORD said, "
    I will destroy manwhom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."

    Be careful! The men on the last days will return to the days of Noah. Many servants of God will be evil, lazy, unfaithful, and unrighteous, so they make God's heart grieved, the heart of the pastor sore, and the parents sorrowful. They cannot glorify God, but perish because of the flood.

    Unfaithfulness and unrighteousness in the beginning of the marriage will cause the hearts of the parents sorrowful.

    Revelation 19:11-12
    19:11. Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
    19:12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many
    crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.

    'crowns' = the sign of victory.
    The rider of the horse is Jesus, the Faithful and True.
    Thus, the servant of God who is faithful and true will be used in the revival of the white horse, the one of Holy Spirit at the latter rain, or the edification of the perfect body of Christ or the heavenly bride. Being evil and lazy, one will be used in the edification of Babylon or the bride of Satan who is perfect in the evil and uncleanness and will be destroyed.

    In conclusion, the servant of God who has the fear of God or the righteousness, faithfulness, and sincerity can glorify Him.
    The results are as follows:

    • Living by the mercy of God. We are saved from God's judgment in the world up to the hell.
      We rely on the mercy of God, so we can live anywhere, anytime, and in any circumstances up to the eternal life.
      Living in God's grace does not make us feel great, but powerless; even we feel that we cannot take a breath or we will die outside the mercy.

    • Girding our waist with belt or the adornment of the bride for making our life tidy. All things are beautiful in its time and we are worthy to appear as the bride.
      Isaiah 11:5
      11:5. Righteousnessshall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulnessthe belt of His waist.


    • We receive the crown of victory over the trinity of Satan.
      Revelation 19:11
      19:11. Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

      Satan is the source of sins. We win. It means that we keep on living in righteousness.
      False prophet is the source false teachings, one of which is the Babylon's, namely unfaithfulness. We win. It means that we keep the faithfulness.

      The Antichrist or the bond of money makes one as the servant of money. The ministry is made as a profession. We win. It means that we endure for being the faithful and righteous servant of God who has no intention to get profit until the end line, namely we die physically or Jesus comes a second time. We get the crown of the bride. We are ready for glorifying God and being glorified on the glorious clouds.

  2. We become the servant of God who fully surrender to Him = doulos.
    Isaiah 49:3-4
    49:3. "And He said to me, 'You are My servant, O Israel, In whom I will be glorified.' 49:4 Then I said, 'I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain; Yet surely my just reward is with the LORD, And my work with my God.'"

    'I will be glorified' = glorifying God.

    The signs of doulosare as follows:

    • Surrendering the rights until having no right anymore, but only the duty.
      Why? It is because we have been bought by the blood of Jesus.

      Luke 17:7-9
      17:7. "And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down to eat'?
      17:8 "But will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink'?
      17:9 "Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.


    • Feeling not profitable although actually we are used by God because all things we have done come from God.
      Luke 17:10
      17:10. "So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.'"


    • Being humble and obedient until the flesh does not speak anymore. The Veil is torn.
      Philippians 2:8
      2:8. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himselfand became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.


    Where can we be doulos who surrenders and obeys God? We can be doulos in the sheepfold. We must be the servant of God who is shepherded by the true teaching Word or God Himself as follows:

    • We always dwell in the sheepfold or the Holy Place. We persevere in committing the three main services to God as follows:

      1. The Golden Candlestick or perseverance in doing the General Service to get the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the anointing and gifts.
      2. The Table of Showbread or perseverance in doing the Bible Study Service with the Holy Communion to get the fellowship with the Son of God in the teaching Word and the sacrifice of Christ.

      3. The Golden Altar of Incense or perseverance in doing the Prayer Service to get the fellowship with Father God in His love.

      The success of the preaching of the Word is bringing the sheep to enter the sheepfold.
      In the sheepfold, our body, soul, and spirit attach to the Trinity of God, so the trinity of Satan cannot touch us.

    • We only hear and obey the voice of the shepherd and we run away from the strange voice. It means that we are obedient until the flesh does not speak. We are in the hands of the Great Shepherd.

      John 10:27-28,5

      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.
      10:5. "Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."

      The strange voice refers to the other doctrines or the voice/lust of the flesh.

      We are safe in the hands of God. Let us obey God although it is painful for the flesh.

    Let us nowadays become doulos.
    In the sheepfold, we confess that we cannot do anything and we are nothing. We only rely on the hands of the Great Shepherd.

    The results are as follows:

    • 'I shall not want' = the guarantee of the assurance of the abundant Great Shepherd's preservation in the midst of uncertainty and our weaknesses, up to the days when the Antichrist reigns over the world; even until we get the eternal life.

    • 'I shall not want' = the continuous sanctification until we can do the holy and good deeds; even we can repay good for evil. Our words are holy and good until we can repay scolding with prayer for good. Our mind can be holy and good. We are sanctified continually until we are as perfect as Jesus is. We receive the garment of the bride which is white and glowing.

      Revelation 19:8
      19:8. And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

      'I shall not want' = our work and reward are in God's hand, namely the firstborn
      right, inheritance, and the right to get married.

  3. We must be the servant of God who willingly gets the sprinkling of blood, the test, or the suffering in the flesh because of Jesus.
    1 Peter 4:12-16
    4:12. Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trialwhich is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
    4:13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
    4:14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for
    the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
    4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters.
    4:16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him
    glorify Godin this matter.

    The forms are as follows:

    • The test of righteousness like Joseph. The wife of Potiphar wanted to lie with him, but he willingly suffered for the righteousness.
      Keep the righteousness from the beginning of the marriage!

    • The service and ministry to God, including the fasting prayer and all night-long prayer service.
    • Facing impossible problems because of God.
    • Being reproached because of the name of Jesus or not being wrong but being blamed, reviled, despised although we have done good things, and slandered, as well as getting unjust treatment from others because of Jesus.

    Following the world, all things seem finished, but someday there will be problems. Following God, we seem to get problems, but actually we have the eternal life.

    Why do we have to experience the sprinkling of blood?

    • Formerly, Aaron brought the blood and incense to the Most Holy Place. There must be the incense when there is the blood.
      Thus, God lets us undergo the sprinkling of blood to make us bow down much more at Jesus' feet. We worship Him with a broken heart, confessing all of our physical and spiritual weaknesses.

      Not bowing down much more when facing the sprinkling of blood, we will not be strong.

    • If there is the blood and we bow down much more or bring the incense, there will be shekinah gloryor the Spirit of glory.
      The results are as follows:

      1. We get the power and joy of heaven in the midst of the sufferings with Jesus. We do not go back. We do not leave the service and ministry until Jesus comes a second time.

      2. The miracles happen.
        The spiritual miracle refers to the renewal towards the New Jerusalem.

        Revelation 21:11
        21:11. having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

        We are renewed. It begins from being 'clear as crystal' or honesty and sincerity as well as believing and entrusting our life to God until there is no doubt at all. We have been in the Most Holy Place.

        Being great, but still doubting, one will be drowned like Peter.

        Being honest and believing, we become the house of prayer and like bowing down at Jesus' feet for confessing all of our weaknesses.
        The physical miracles will also happen.

        John 4:46-53

        4:46. So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
        4:47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
        4:48 Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe."
        4:49 The nobleman said to Him, "Sir, come down before my child dies!"
        4:50 Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your son lives." So the man
        believedthe word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
        4:51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, "Your son lives!"
        4:52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."
        4:53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." And he himself believed, and
        his whole household.

        The officer honestly said that he could not do anything, but he believed Jesus. The faith in honesty can help the whole family.
        Doubting the teaching Word or Bride Tidings, how about our family? Do not doubt the true teaching and His power!

        When Jesus comes a second time, we are changed to be as perfect as He is. We do not stumble in words, but only shout for joy, saying "Alleluia" or the voice of the bride for welcoming His second coming.
        We are with Him forever.

God blesses you.
