Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 22:222:2. 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 yields its fruits every month. It refers to the growing Word of God that keeps yielding the fruits. It means having
the permanent fruit, namely the one of faith, hope, and love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 13:13. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.The process is as follows:
- The fruit of faith.
Romans 10:17
10:17. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
The faith comes by hearing the Word in the anointing of Holy Spirit or the one whose secret is revealed through one verse that explains the other verses in the Holy Bible, namely the true teaching Word. So, the true faith comes by hearing the true teaching Word earnestly and with a need until we understand it. The fact is that we can realize our sin and regret. We can believe in the Word, so it becomes faith in our heart.
Romans 10:10
10:10. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
With the heart we believe, and with the mouth we confess our sin. We repent and live in righteousness.
So, the fruit of faith is repenting and living in righteousness, so we are saved and blessed by God.
- The fruit of hope.
1 John 3:2-3
3:2. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
3:3. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
It means hoping that we can be as glorious or perfect as Jesus when He comes a second time. That is why we must be holy, just as Jesus is holy.
So, the fruit of hope is the one of holiness.
1 Peter 1:22a
1:22. Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth....
We must obey the Word, so we can be purified and live in holiness. We yield the fruit of hope or holiness.
So, the fruit of hope is living in holiness.
Ephesians 4:11-12
4:11. And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
4:12. for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
As a result, we are equipped with the ministry and Holy Spirit's gift, so we are used in the revival of Holy Spirit in the latter rain, starting from marriage, shepherding, inter shepherding until the Israelites and Gentiles become one perfect body of Christ.
- The fruit of love.
John 14:15
14:15. "If you love Me, keep My commandments.
Obeying the Word means loving God more than anything.
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,
Loving others as we love ourselves means that we just do the good thing.
The fruit of faith is represented by James who writes the epistle of James that refers to the faith.
The fruit of hope is represented by Peter who writes the epistle of Peter that refers to the holiness or hope.
The fruit of love is represented by John who writes the epistle of John that refers to the love.
If we have the fruit of faith, hope, and love, we will be like Peter, James, and John who are led up by Jesus up on a high mountain. It means that we can worship God.
Matthew 17:1-2 17:1. Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;
17:2. and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.In the prayer, we experience the power of the renewal of life, starting from the face or sincere heart.
Matthew 17:18 17:18. And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.It refers to the healing power from the epilepsy.
It means as follows:
- Physically, the disease that is impossible to be cured can be cured.
- Spiritually, the epilepsy refers to the depravity and sinning up to the peak. It can be restored, so one can repent and live in righteousness.
- The destruction in marriage and children can be restored to return to the righteousness, holiness, and unity of the marriage up to perfection.
- The evil company, namely one has company with the fire of the lust and the water of the freshness of the world.
We can be shepherded. Our heart becomes peaceful, so all things become easy and light. We experience the spiritual growth to the perfection.
Mark 5:37-435:37. And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
5:38. Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly.
5:39. When He came in, He said to them, "Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping."
5:40. And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying.
5:41. Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."
5:42. Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement.
5:43. But He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.We experience the power of resurrection. Spiritually, we can eat the Word, so we do not commit sin but we can endure. We do not get disappointed and desperate as well as leave God but keep following and ministering to Him until the finish line. As a result, God arranges our steps of life to the beautiful and successful future even eternal life.
Physically, we experience the power to take away the impossibilities, so all of impossible problems are finished.
God blesses us.
