The child submission

Ecclesiastes 11:9
11:9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these God will bring you into judgment.

Neo means enjoying life and Sunny means joy like the sunshine.
Enjoying life with joy often misunderstood, so people follow the lust or the desire of the flesh and eyes or fall in sins up to the peak and the pseudo life and joy which will end in the judgment on the white throne, facing Lord Jesus, and entering the perdition, the suffering, and tears forever.

Ecclesiastes 12:1
12:1 Remember now your Creatorin the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, "I have no pleasure in them":

Enjoying live in the true joy means that we must always remember the Creator, namely being faithful in the service and ministry to God and shepherding pen. Remembering God means remembering our life as the clay which is weak, broken, and perishing forever. Therefore, we must be filled by the true teaching word or the shepherding one. We can receive the love of God only in the shepherding pen.

In the Shepherding pen, we experience two things as follows:

1. We can be sad. It means that we confess our sins. After being forgiven, we do not do it anymore. We can live in peace, so we are set free from the judgment of the white throne.
   
   
2. We can be strong and of good courage, believe and hope God. We cry out to God and look at the face of Jesus which shines as the sun.
   

As the result, the sunshine will change us, so we have the cheerful face or there is no more sad, unclean and pale one. The mercy of God preserves us who are like powerless babies, helps, finishes our problem, and gives successful and beautiful future life until our face is cheerful as His when He comes for the second time.

God blesses you.

To Coincide with Priests and Priests To Be Upgrading Service I

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

Revelation 7:1
7:1 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.

The meanings of the wind are as follows:

1. The wind refers to newborn man by the water and Holy Spirit baptism, so he lives in righteousness, makes himself of no reputation, and becomes obedient. .
   John 3:5-8
   3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
   3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
   3:7 "Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
   3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
   
   
   
2. The wind refers to the minister and the servant of God or the priests and kings..
   Psalms 104:4a
   104:4 Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire.
   

So, the wind refers to the servant and the minister of God who live in righteousness, make themselves of no reputation, and obey God until the flesh does not speak anymore, so they are used by God according to His will.

The example of the wind from heaven is Jesus.
Philippians 2:5-8
2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
2:6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
2:7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

Jesus is righteous, He makes Himself of no reputation, and obeys God until dying on the cross, so He becomes the wind that blows to the world to blow freshness, fragrance, and life to men in the world who have been powered by the sins and curse. They are the same as the wind which is not blowing. It means being hot. There are no freshness, peace, and fragrance, but spiritual death until perishing forever. So, men need the fresh wind from heaven or Jesus.

John 20:24-29
20:24 Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.
20:25 The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."
20:26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!"
20:27 Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing."
20:28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"
20:29 Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.

The conditions of the church on the last day are as follows:

1. In fear and worry [John 20:19-21].
   
2. Being doubtful.
   

The facts found in being doubtful are as follows:

1. The faith because of seeing like Thomas. The consequences are as follows:
   
   
   1. Such people will not experience the heavenly joy. They murmur when they see something which is not in line with their desire or the flesh until leaving God.
      
   2. Such people will easily be deceived by the false teaching until worshiping antichrist.
      Revelation 13:13-15
      13:13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
      13:14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.
      13:15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
      
      
      
   3. The faith is weak.
      John 2:23-24
      2:23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did.
      2:24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men.
      
      The people who have the weak faith believe Jesus because of the physical things, not because they love Him. Consequently, Jesus does not stretch out His hand. It means that the faith is weak.
      It is different from Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego who believe and entrust themselves to God. As a result, God commits Himself to them.
      
      The weak faith will fall when facing test, the people who have the weak faith will be against the word until leaving God forever.
      
      
2. Doubting God or the true teaching word and His power. It means hoping to something else like the wave of the sea which is driven and tossed by the wind.
   James 1:6-8
   1:6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
   1:7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
   1:8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
   
   The consequences are as follows:
   
   
   1. Not being calm.
      
   2. Not being peaceful.
      
   3. Being heavy-laden.
      
   4. Being exhausted.
      
   5. Being in labor.
      
   6. Not receiving anything, but being empty in spirituality, never being satisfied, but murmuring and gossiping.
      
   7. There is no blessing or help.
      
   8. Being drowned in the sea of the world until in the lake of fire and brimstone.
      
      
3. Resisting against the true fellowship or the service and ministry and the marriage where there are Jesus and the true teaching word. It means resisting against the edifying of the perfect body of Christ.
   John 20:24
   20:24 Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.
   
   Isaiah 30:1-3
   30:1 "Woe to the rebellious children," says the LORD, "Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, That they may add sin to sin;
   30:2 Who walk to go down to Egypt, And have not asked My advice, To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
   30:3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh Shall be your shame, And trust in the shadow of Egypt Shall be your humiliation.
   
   Entering the fellowship because of seeing the physical things begins from marriage, shepherding, and inter shepherding. It will multiply the sins, so the condition becomes worst until perishing forever.
   

The solution is that Jesus as the heavenly wind comes in the midst of such people. There is true fellowship which shows the true teaching word, so the church will return to the true faith and there is peace. There is opportunity to be sanctified and perfected.

Romans 10:17
10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

So, the true faith comes by hearing the word of God which is anointed or revealed by Holy Spirit, namely the verse explains other verses in the Bible. That is the true teaching word which cannot be denied by anyone.
John 14:26-27
14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Holy Spirit teaches us. It cannot be limited by the age, time, and place.
The processes to get the true faith are as follows:

1. Holy Spirit helps us to hear the true teaching word seriously and with a need like a dog licks the crumbs.
   
2. Holy Spirit helps us to understand the true teaching word.
   
3. Holy Spirit helps us to believe and trust the true teaching word, so it becomes faith in our heart and we remember it. It becomes the brake, so we will not fall in sin. The heart becomes peaceful whatever we are facing. All things become easy and light.
   
   
4. Holy Spirit helps us to obey the true teaching word. We have the works of faith, so the faith becomes perfect. This is the golden pot which had the manna like Abraham.
   James 2:21-22
   2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?
   2:22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect.
   

So, the faith and the work of faith mean believing and entrusting our life fully to God or stretching our hand to Him.
The results are as follows:

1. The heart becomes steadfast, strong and of good courage like Abraham.
   2 Corinthians 5:7-8
   5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
   5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
   
   Romans 4:19-21
   4:19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb.
   4:20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,
   4:21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
   
   Abraham was steadfast and kept on believing that God was able to fulfill His promise. Abraham submitted Isaac at the Moriah mount because He believed that God was able to resurrect the dead man. So, the temple in the days of Salomon could be built.
   It means that we must willingly sacrifice everything that God asks us to do according to the movement that is done by the word. So, all things that we sacrifice will not be useless or lost. God is able to create something that does not exist yet physically and spiritually until making us to be His bride.
   
   Revelation 19:7
   19:7 "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
   
   
   
2. The miracle happens.
   John 21:3,6,11
   21:3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
   21:6 And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
   21:11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken..
   
   God permits us to experience lack or failure so that we fill the clay pot with manna or the true teaching word until there is faith and the work of faith, namely we trust and entrust our life to Him.
   The result is catching one hundred and fifty-three large fish.
   100 = 10x10= hearing and obeying to the true teaching word.
   50 = The number of Pentecost. It means that Holy Spirit makes us faithful and fervent in spirit to serve and minister to God.
   3 = The renewal to the body, soul, and spirit. It means honesty. [Ephesians 4:22-25].
   
   The physical miracle happens too. One plus five plus three equals to nine which refers to the number of the grace of God. He stretches out His great merciful hand for us to create something that does not exist yet possible.
   The examples are as follows:
   
   
   1. A father who faced the epileptic son or sins up to the peak, namely the destruction of the marriage and the children or the impossibilities.
      Mark 9:22-24
      9:22 "And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us."
      9:23 Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
      9:24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!
      
      Why is there no help? Because one does not believe and fully entrust himself to God.
      
      
   2. The Zarephath widow who faced the economic crisis.
      1 Kings 17:11-15
      17:11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand."
      17:12 So she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
      17:13 And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son.
      17:14 "For thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the LORD sends rain on the earth.'"
      17:15 So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days.
      
      The Zarephath widow could rust and entrust her life fully to God. So, the great merciful hand of God was able to preserve her.
      
      
   3. Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-Nego, and Daniel trusted and entrusted themselves fully to God, so they received the successful and beautiful future life.
      
      It continues until the last miracle, namely we are changed to be as perfect as Him. We are together with Him forever.
      

God blesses you.
