To coincide with the Upgrading of Priests and Priests to beI
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
There are three things to which we have to pay attention for entering the New Jerusalem as follows:
ad. 3.
Revelation22:2
22:2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
The tree of life refers to the true teaching Word that is able to grow up our spirituality until producing fruits up to the fruit of perfection.
The tree of life refers to the Word of God that grows as follows:
Psalm128:3
128:3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vineIn the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table.
The bride is like the fruitful vineyard. Thus, being used in the edification of Christ's body is the same as being used to work in the vineyard or the service and ministry to God which are brought up by the Bride Tidings.
The Lord actively looks for the workers for the vineyard. He does it three times as follows:
Why does God try hard to call the Israelites and Gentiles to be able to work in the vineyard?
God blesses you.
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
There are three things to which we have to pay attention for entering the New Jerusalem as follows:
- The Book of Life.
The name must be written in the Book of Life. It means being redeemed by the blood of Jesus. - The river of the water of life proceeding from the throne of heaven. It refers to the power of Holy Spirit.
- The tree of life.
ad. 3.
Revelation22:2
22:2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
The tree of life refers to the true teaching Word that is able to grow up our spirituality until producing fruits up to the fruit of perfection.
The tree of life refers to the Word of God that grows as follows:
- The small seed that grows towards the eternal life.
1 Peter1:23-25
1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,
1:24 because "All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away,
1:25 But the word of the LORD endures forever." Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you. - The seed of the Word of God that grows in the gentle heart or the good ground of heart becomes faith in heart.
1 Peter2:1
2:1Therefore, laying aside all malice(1), all deceit(2), hypocrisy(3), envy(4), and all evil speaking(5),
The seed of the Word that has root in the heart is able to throw away the five main sins which are ingrained or having roots in the heart, so we can repent. - The seed of the Word makes us get the life renewal from the water and Holy Spirit baptism. We get the new life.
1 Peter2:2-5
2:2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,
2:3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
2:4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,
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 become like a newborn baby, namely living in righteousness or being saved and not punished. We always long for the shepherding Word, so we get the spiritual growth and become the priests and kings or God's servants.
The king refers to one who defeats sins as follows:- Defeating the persuasion of Satan for committing sins.
- Willingly confessing all sins to God and other people. As a result, we get the remission of sin by the blood of Jesus until there is no remnant of it anymore as if we had never done such sin.
- One who is holy.
Exodus29:1
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, - Being equipped with the ministry and gifts of Holy Spirit.
- Serving and ministering to God in faithfulness and righteousness according to the ministry which God has entrusted.
- Defeating the persuasion of Satan for committing sins.
Psalm128:3
128:3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vineIn the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table.
The bride is like the fruitful vineyard. Thus, being used in the edification of Christ's body is the same as being used to work in the vineyard or the service and ministry to God which are brought up by the Bride Tidings.
The Lord actively looks for the workers for the vineyard. He does it three times as follows:
- Early in the morning.
Matthew20:1-2
20:1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morningto hire laborers for his vineyard.
20:2 "Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
The working is based on the promise for getting the wage, namely one denarius. It refers to the calling of God to the house of Israel. Nevertheless, there is a part of them that rejects Jesus. - At9a.m., 12noon, and3 p.m.
Matthew20:3-5
20:3 "And he went out about the third hourand saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
20:4 "and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
20:5 "Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
It refers to the time when Jesus was crucified.
Mark15:25,33
15:25 Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
15:33 Now when the sixth hourhad come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
The working is based on the cross. It refers to the love of God to the house of Israel. Jesus dies with the four main wounds, namely two in hands and two in feet, for saving the natives of Israel who get lost and calling them to be the priests and kings.
Matthew15:24
15:24 But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." - At 5 p.m.
Matthew20:6
20:6 "And about the eleventh hourhe went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'
The working is based on the fifth wound of Jesus in His side for saving the Gentiles and calling them to be the priests and kings.
Why does God try hard to call the Israelites and Gentiles to be able to work in the vineyard?
- So that they are not idle or unprofitable.
Matthew25:30
25:30 'And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
Being idle, lazy, and evil is the same as being unprofitable until being cast into the outer darkness. - So that our ministry can increase to be the worship prayer to God (one hour).
Matthew20:12
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.'
It is the same as the prayer in Gethsemane.
Mark14:37
14:37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
It means the pressing of olive fruits to result in the anointing oil.
Mark14:36-37
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."
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 the process to press or crucify the flesh with all of its wills and lusts, so we can receive the will of God although it is not in line with the fleshly will and regardless of any risk we have to take.
The servant of God only does His will.
1 John2:17
2:17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
As a result, he will reach the eternal life. Being outside the will of God, one will perish together with the world.
There are three kinds of God's will as follows:- Doing good deeds--> the Court of Tabernacle.
1 Peter2:15
2:15 For this is the will of God, that by doing goodyou may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--
The facts found in it are as follows:- The righteous deeds according to the Word.
- The good deeds.
Galatians6:9-10
6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
We do not harm or hurt others, but help, give to, visit one another until repaying good for evil.
- The righteous deeds according to the Word.
- Holiness--> the Holy Place.
1 Thessalonians4:3-6
4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality;
4:4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
4:5 not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
4:6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.
It refers to the holiness in our life, marriage, and children.
Where can we live in holiness? There are three tools in the Holy Place that refer to the perseverance in committing the three main services to God as follows:- The Golden Candlestick = the General Service.
- The Table of Showbread = the Bible Study Service with Holy Communion.
- The Golden Altar of Incense = the Prayer Service.
Matthew15:19
15:19 "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts(1), murders(2), adulteries(3), fornications(4), thefts(5), false witness(6), blasphemies(7).
It starts from the sanctification of the heart from the seven desires of evil, uncleanness, and bitterness that cause the lamp to be quenched or the life to have no control. Our lamp keeps on burning. We can live in holiness. The marriage or household becomes light. It cannot be defeated by the darkness of basket or the sins concerning eating-drinking and economy crisis and the darkness of bed or the sins concerning marrying-being given in marriage.
Exodus3:1-5
3:1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
3:2 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.
3:3 Then Moses said, "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn."
3:4 So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."
3:5 Then He said, "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground."
The sanctification happens until taking our sandals off our feet or the sanctification to the inward and outward man like newborn baby. Our eyes only look at God and cry to Him.
Matthew5:8
5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
Exodus3:7-8
3:7 And the LORD said: "I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
3:8 "So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites. this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground."
As a result, God pays attention to, cares for, and bears all our weariness and heavy burdens, so all things become easy and light. God sets us free from all heavy burdens and the bonds of sin. He solves all impossible problems. He leads us to the beautiful successful future life. We are used in the edification of Christ's body. There is the revival of faith, namely we can give the time, energy, thought, money, and our whole life to God to be used by Him. The revival of miracles also happens. Every step of our life is in miracles.
Be careful! Do not steal like Achan when the revival happens! Do not steal the possession of God, namely the tithes and offerings! Do not steal the house of God or the service and ministry to Him! Do not insist like Korah! - The Golden Candlestick = the General Service.
- Giving thanks in everything.
1 Thessalonians5:18
5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Psalm107:1-3
107:1 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
107:3 And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
We give thanks especially because we have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus, so we can live in righteousness.
Proverbs10:20
10:20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little.
The proof is that our tongue can speak the righteous things honestly. We become the house of prayer and our prayer is answered by God.
Romans8:15
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."
When we are honest and obedient, Holy Spirit works.
Galatians5:22-23
5:22 But the fruit of the Spiritis love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
5:23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
As a result, Holy Spirit changes our life. Being changed is the same as yielding fruits. The seed of the Word results in the fruits of Holy Spirit. We are always satisfied by God or never dry spiritually. The physical life will never be dry also.
Romans12:11
12:11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
Holy Spirit makes us faithful and fervent in spirit in the service and ministry until the end line.
Zechariah4:6-7
4:6 So he answered and said to me: "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the LORD of hosts.
4:7 'Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of "Grace, grace to it!"'"
Holy Spirit is able to solve all problems which have been mountains or the impossible ones. He is also able to give us the beautiful successful future life.
- Doing good deeds--> the Court of Tabernacle.
God blesses you.
