Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 22:3-422:3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
22:4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. If the diseases of the nations or sins which have been the characteristics have been healed or sanctified by the leaves of the tree of life or the body and blood of Jesus, there will be no more curse. The results are as follows:
- We can feel the atmosphere of the throne of heaven.
- His servants will serve to Him. It means that we can be the servants of God who serve and minister to Him until being on the throne of heaven.
- His servants will see His shining face like the sun shining in its strength.
Revelation1:16
1:16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.
It is the same as worshiping God or the peak of the service and ministry to Him.
Psalm 84:1184:11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.The sun shining in its strength has three components which we can receive in the worship prayer as follows:
- The perfect love of God.
Matthew5:43-45, 48
5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
5:45 "that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
5:48 "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
2 Samuel 22:36
22:36 "You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great.
Psalm18:2
18:2The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Luke1:68-69
1:68 "Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited and redeemed His people,
1:69 And has raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of His servant David,
In the worship prayer, we can receive the perfect love of God that becomes the shield or horn of salvation through His only Son, namely Jesus as the only Savior. Jesus is the only sinless man who must die on the cross with the five main wounds as follows:
- 4 wounds (2 in hands and 2 in feet) for saving the house of Israel.
- 1 wound (in His side, out of which blood and water came) for saving the Gentiles.
Thus, the Gentiles must receive the sign of blood and water for being saved:
- The sign of blood, namely repenting. It starts from being dead to the eight sins bringing men to enter the hell.
Revelation21:8
21:8 "But the cowardly(1), unbelieving(2), abominable(3), murderers(4), sexually immoral(5), sorcerers(6), idolaters(7), and all liars(8)shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
- The sign of water, namely the water baptism.
Romans6:4
6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
It results in the new life, namely the life in the anointing of Holy Spirit. We can firmly live in righteousness.
1 Timothy4:1
4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
We can firmly hold fast the true teaching Word and reject the false teachings.
As a result, we receive the horn of salvation or we are truly saved and not punished. We do not perish.
Psalm 37:25-26
37:25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.
37:26 He is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are blessed.
God never leaves us. He blesses and preserves us up to our descendants abundantly. We always give thanks and become blessings for others. We live in peace. All things become easy and light.
We must fight for the righteousness.
- The mercy or grace and goodness of God.
Psalm84:11
84:11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thingwill He withhold From those who walk uprightly.
Psalm23:1,6
23:1 <<A Psalm of David.>> The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
23:6 Surely goodness and mercyshall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.
In the worship prayer, we get the mercy and goodness of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, so we can be shepherded well and correctly like a branch that abides in the true Vine and a donkey that is tied to the true Vine, namely the true teaching Word or the Word that is revealed through a verse that explains other verses in the Bible.
The requirements of being shepherded:
- Being shepherded to Jesus Himself or the true teaching Word.
- Always dwelling in the sheepfold or Holy Place, namely the perseverance in committing the three main services to God.
- Always hearing and obeying the voice of the shepherd or the shepherding Word.
Song of Solomon2:16
2:16 THE SHULAMITE My beloved is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies.
Song of Solomon2:1-2
2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, And the lily of the valleys.
2:2 THE BELOVED Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
The shepherding leads us until we become like the lily [verse 2] or Jesus [verse 1].
The shepherding that is signified by the perseverance and obedience is able to grow our spirituality or sanctify us continually until being as perfect as Jesus is.
Unfortunately, the lily is among thorns. It means being doubtful to Jesus Himself or the true teaching Word because of gossips or other teachings, worry about the daily life and future life, not prioritizing the service and ministry to God, unfaithfulness, and disobedience.
Revelation 3:8
3:8 "I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
Consequently, the doors are shut. The life is full of questions which have no answer, weariness, tears, and distress up to the perdition.
Jesus, the Good Shepherd, has worn the crown of thorns on the cross to bear all of our fear, anxiety, distress, and so on, so we can be strong and of good courage. We only believe and entrust our life to the mercy and goodness of God. David had no greatness, but he relied on the mercy and goodness of God until being appointed as king.
As a result, the lily still keeps the white color in the midst of the dirty swamp.
As long as we appreciate the mercy and goodness of God, we will keep on living in holiness and we are not defiled by anything.
Joshua1:6
1:6 "Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
We are used in the edification of Christ's body.
2 Samuel 10:12
10:12 "Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the LORD do what is good in His sight."
God is able to make all things good. The destroyed things are made good in His time.
- Glory.
Psalm84:11
84:11For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.
Through the worship prayer, we can receive the glory of Jesus, the King of all kings or the Heavenly Bridegroom, that is able to change us from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones who are honest and sincere.
Titus 2:7
2:7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,
We are honest in the teaching Word.
Hebrews13:4-6
13:4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
13:6 So we may boldly say: "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
We can be honest in the marriage, finance, and in confessing all of our physical and spiritual weaknesses. We become the house of prayer.
As a result, God appears as the Helper. He always remembers, cares for, and pays attention to us. He solves all impossible problems.. It continues until we are changed to be perfect. We do not stumble in words. All sins are finished. We can sit with Jesus on the heavenly throne and see His face forever.
God blesses you.
