Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 3:21-22
3:21 "To him who overcomesI will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
3:22 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."'"
The highest promise of God to the church of the Laodiceans or all of us is sitting with Jesus on the heavenly throne forever.
The requirement is we overcome with Jesus.
The church of the Laodiceans belongs to the Gentiles. They are in the low condition like the vomit, but then they can overcome with Jesus. It means that all of us may also overcome with Jesus. The important thing is our willingness.
We must overcome the enemies from outside. They hinder us so that we cannot reach the heavenly throne, but perish.
There are three main enemies as follows.
The steps to overcome the three main enemies are as follows.
God blesses you.
Revelation 3:21-22
3:21 "To him who overcomesI will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
3:22 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."'"
The highest promise of God to the church of the Laodiceans or all of us is sitting with Jesus on the heavenly throne forever.
The requirement is we overcome with Jesus.
The church of the Laodiceans belongs to the Gentiles. They are in the low condition like the vomit, but then they can overcome with Jesus. It means that all of us may also overcome with Jesus. The important thing is our willingness.
We must overcome the enemies from outside. They hinder us so that we cannot reach the heavenly throne, but perish.
There are three main enemies as follows.
- The death or sin.
- The flesh with all of its lusts and desires.
- The world with all of its influences.
The steps to overcome the three main enemies are as follows.
- We must be the righteous people.
Psalm 118:15
118:15The voice of rejoicing and salvation Is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly,
It means that we enter the Court of Tabernacle or the heavenly kingdom.
We can live in righteousness in all aspects of our life privately, such as our mind, words, deeds, as well as our friendship, and marriage. All things must be right.
All things in the world such as riches, intelligence, position, success, and joy without the righteousness will be useless because they will cause the sufferings and perdition.
Romans 3:23-24
3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
3:24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
How can the sinful people become righteous?
As for God, Jesus must come to the world and die on the cross to justify us.
Acts2:36-40
2:36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredlythat God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
2:37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"
2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptizedin the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
2:39 "For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."
2:40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation."
As for us, we must undergo the process to be righteous as follows.- [verse 36] We hear the Word seriously until we are cut to our heart. We can believe or have faith in Jesus as the only one Savior. We can realize our sin, regret, and confess it to God and other people. We get the remission of sin and do not get the punishment. It is the same as entering the Gate of Tabernacle.
- [verse 38] We repent (the Altar of Burnt Offering). It means that we stop sinning and return to God.
- [verse 38] We are baptized of water to get the life renewal.
- We are baptized of Holy Spirit. We are renewed by the Spirit.
We are reborn by the water and Holy Spirit, so we get the new life or the heavenly one. We live in righteousness, so the sin or death cannot rule over us anymore. We defeat the sin.
Romans 6:13
6:13And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousnessto God.
It continues that we become the instruments of righteousness or priests and kings, namely the righteous servants of God. We become the righteous.
Proverbs 10:2-3
10:2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, But righteousness delivers from death.
10:3 The LORD will not allow the righteous soul to famish, But He casts away the desire of the wicked.
As a result, the righteousness delivers us from the death or we can overcome the death.
1 Corinthians 15:25-26
15:25For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.
15:26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
Moreover, we are blessed up to our descendants forever.
- [verse 36] We hear the Word seriously until we are cut to our heart. We can believe or have faith in Jesus as the only one Savior. We can realize our sin, regret, and confess it to God and other people. We get the remission of sin and do not get the punishment. It is the same as entering the Gate of Tabernacle.
- We must be anointed by Holy Spirit.
Psalm 20:6
20:6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand.
Leviticus 21:12
21:12 'nor shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
A priest must always dwell in the Holy Place of shepherding pen to get the anointing of Holy Spirit. It means that he must be shepherded well and correctly or persevere in doing three main services to God as follows.- Golden Candlestick or perseverance in doing General Serviceto have the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the gifts. If the candlestick is burning, we can see the two other objects.
- Table of Showbread or perseverance in doing Bible Study Service with Holy Communionto get the fellowship with the Son of God in the Word and the sacrifice of Christ.
- Golden Altar of Incense or perseverance in doing Worship Prayer Serviceto get the fellowship with Father God in the love.
- Our body, soul, and spirit are sanctified intensively by the Trinity of God from the sins attacking the priests or servants of God. For example, Judas Iscariot stole the possession of God, namely the tithes and offerings, lied or avoided the Word, accused or blamed others and God, became a hypocrite or pretender, and betrayed Jesus or left the ministry.
Eli the priest was not firm toward his wrong sons. He let them stay in their mistakes or supported the wrong.
1 Samuel 2:15-16
2:15Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat for roasting to the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw."
2:16 And if the man said to him, "They should really burn the fat first; then you may take as much as your heart desires," he would then answer him, "No, but you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force."
Hophni and Phinehas liked the raw meat. It means that one likes fulfilling the flesh desires and wills, so he falls in the sin peak, 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, sexual deviation, and wrong marriage. Stealing the fat means that one steals the possession of God or the tithes. - There is the anointing oil of Holy Spirit.
Leviticus 21:12
21:12 'nor shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
"the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him"means as follows.- The anointing oil makes us obedientto the true teaching Word or the Lord Himself.
Romans 8:15
8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
1 Peter 1:22
1:22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, - The anointing oil makes us faithful and fervent in spiritin serving and ministering to God until the end.
Romans 12:11
12:11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
We get the anointing of Holy Spirit in the shepherding pen, so we can be the obedient, holy, faithful, and fervent in spirit servants of God. It is the same as overcoming the flesh with all of its lusts and desires.
Romans 8:7
8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
Hebrews1:7
1:7 And of the angels He says: "Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire."
The obedient, holy, faithful, and fervent in spirit servants of God are the same as the flame of fire.
Revelation 1:14
1:14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;
The eyes of God are like the flame of fire. Thus, the obedient, holy, faithful, and fervent in spirit servants of God are the same as the apple of His eyes or one whom He specializes.
Leviticus 21:12
21:12 'nor shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
The results are as follows.- We get the covering of God's wings.
Psalm 17:8
17:8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,
We are protected and preserved by God miraculously in our powerlessness in facing the difficulties, problems, as well as evil and unclean things in the world. We are protected; even a grain of sand cannot touch us. - We are given the two wings of a great eagle to evacuate us to the wilderness for three and a half years. We are far away from the presence of the antichrist.
Revelation 12:14
12:14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
- We get the covering of God's wings.
- The anointing oil makes us obedientto the true teaching Word or the Lord Himself.
- Golden Candlestick or perseverance in doing General Serviceto have the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the gifts. If the candlestick is burning, we can see the two other objects.
- We must always struggle until we are victorious or until the breaking of day, namely Jesus comes a second time.
Genesis 32:24, 28
32:24Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestledwith him until the breaking of day.
32:28 And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed."
Struggling means that we get the sprinkling of blood because of Jesus. It is the same as entering the Most Holy Place.
Hosea 12:4-6
12:4Yes, he struggledwith the Angel and prevailed; He wept, and sought favor from Him. He found Him in Bethel, And there He spoke to us--
12:5 That is, the LORD God of hosts. The LORD is His memorable name.
12:6 So you, by the help of your God, return; Observe mercy and justice, And wait on your God continually.
We must struggle with tears for our own life and the whole family. What must be struggled for?- Our life and family can keep faithful and righteous.
Isaiah 11:5
11:5 Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist.
It is the same as we keep on wearing the belt.
Jeremiah 13:1-7, 11
13:1Thus the LORD said to me: "Go and get yourself a linen sash, and put it around your waist, but do not put it in water."
13:2 So I got a sash according to the word of the LORD, and put it around my waist.
13:3 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying,
13:4 "Take the sash that you acquired, which is around your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole in the rock."
13:5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
13:6 Now it came to pass after many days that the LORD said to me, "Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the sash which I commanded you to hide there."
13:7 Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the sash from the place where I had hidden it; and there was the sash, ruined. It was profitable for nothing.
13:11 'For as the sash clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to Me,' says the LORD, 'that they may become My people, for renown, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.'
If there are no righteousness and faithfulness anymore, the belt is ruined to go to Babylon. One becomes the bride of Satan who will be destroyed forever.
The dirty Gentiles who have fallen like dog and swine will get the belt or the adornment of bride to be the bride of God if they return to the faithfulness and righteousness.
Jeremiah 2:32
2:32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments, Or a bride her attire? Yet My people have forgotten Me days without number. - Our life and family can get out of the antichrist.
- Our life and family can wait for the second coming of the Lord.
Hosea 12:6
12:6 So you, by the help of your God, return; Observe mercy and justice, And wait on your God continually.
The requirement is being strong and of good courage. In such condition, we overcome the world.
John 16:32-33
16:32 "Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
Being strong and of good courage means that we are not disappointed or hopeless. We do not leave God regardless of anything we must face. We keep on holding fast to the true teaching Word. We keep righteous and holy. We keep on worshiping God.
As a result, God is with us. He solves all problems in time of need. Impossible problems become possible. All things become successful and beautiful.
We are changed by God. It begins from honesty or we do not lie. We overcome the sin, the flesh, and the world.
It continues until we are changed to be perfect when Jesus comes a second time. We become the bride of God to welcome Jesus' second coming on the glorious clouds and sit with Jesus on the heavenly throne.
Isaiah 40:29-31
40:29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.
40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall,
40:31 But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
Be careful because many people cannot endure when the second coming of Jesus is drawing near. Their wings become weak. They are weary, heavy laden, disappointed, and hopeless. They stumble, leave the ministry, and fall in sin up to the peak. If it continues, they will be left when Jesus comes a second time.
The Holy Communion gives us power to return to righteousness and holiness. We can be strong and of good courage to wait for Jesus' second coming.
- Our life and family can keep faithful and righteous.
God blesses you.
