(To Coincide with Fasting Prayer Service Session III)Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 6:12-13
6:12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
The opening of the sixth seal or the sixth punishment from Holy Spirit God refers to a great physical earthquake, especially the spiritual one.
The spiritual earthquake is the influence of the world with its business, distress, joy, evil, uncleanness, et cetera. It results in the spiritual darkness.
- "The sun became black as sackcloth of hair" means that there is no more love of God.
- "The moon became like blood" means that the redemption or the forgiveness by the blood of Jesus is ended. There is no more the forgiveness of sins.
- "The stars of heaven fell"means that the Holy Spirit stops working.
We learn the third point, namely "the stars of heaven fell." If Holy Spirit stops working, we will be unable to worship God because we are weak men.
Romans 8:26
8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
The result of Holy Spirit stops working or we cannot worship God anymore is worshiping the Antichrist.
Revelation 13:5-6
13:5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 13:6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.Worshiping the Antichrist is a blasphemy against God.
The facts found in the blasphemy against God are as follows:
- Lie.
- Gossips.
- Slandering or justifying the wrong thing and blaming the right one.
- Blasphemy against God. It refers to justifying the false teaching and it results in perdition.
Romans 8:26
8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
The work of Holy Spirit is helping in our weakness, so we can pray to God.
Let us worship God solemnly until the flesh does not sound anymore because the Holy Spirit still works. We may be in physical weakness because of tiredness after working or sickness and spiritual one because of disappointment, sorrow, and sin, but as long as Holy Spirit still works and we ask for the forgiveness and help from Him, we are able to worship God by His help. Holy Spirit will work more in our weakness. He is able to help us in any condition or situation.
Revelation 12:1-2
12:1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 12:2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth."Groanings which cannot be uttered"means worshiping with broken heart or surrendering our life fully to God. It is like a sinful woman who came to Jesus, anointed His feet with crying, confessed, and asked for the forgiveness of her sins. It is the true worship.
The worship with broken heart is to face the two kinds of struggleas follows:
- From inside is giving birth or the life renewal from carnal men to spiritual ones like Jesus. The newborn or spiritual men are as follows:
- Being patient in suffering. They do not grumble but give thank to God. If we suffer because of sin, we must repent. If we suffer because of the cross or without fault, we must always give thank.
We must also be patient in waiting the time of God. Do not choose the way out that is not according to the Word. The way out that is not according to the Word is dead-end that leads to perdition. In any condition do not choose it. For example, corruption, stealing, cheating, looking for wizard, and choosing mate that does not believe in Jesus.
- Honesty and sincerity. There is no lie. If it is yes say yes and no say no whatever the risk may come.
- Obedience until the flesh does not sound anymore.
Patience + honesty + obedience = the life renewal or the biggest miracle.
We must experience the life renewal (patience, honesty, and obedience) to enter the heaven because the fleshly men cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. If we can experience the life renewal, we can stretch out our hands to God. Then, He will stretch out His Holy Spirit hands to help us.
- Form outside is struggling to face the fiery red dragon. It refers to the temptation, impossible problems, up to the Antichrist who will reign for three and a half years.
Revelation 12:3
12:3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragonhaving seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
If we are patient, honest, and obedient, we can surrender fully and stretch out our hands to God. Then, He will stretch out His Holy Spirit hands to help us.
The resultsare as follows:
- The Holy Spirit is able to make something that does not exist yet and care our life in the midst of wilderness or difficulties of the world up to the days when the Antichrist reigns in the world for three and a half years, until the second coming of Jesus, and forever.
Exodus 16:7-8
16:7 "And in the morning you shall see the glory of the LORD; for He hears your complaints against the LORD. But what are we, that you complain against us?"
16:8 Also Moses said, "This shall be seen when the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to the full; for the LORD hears your complaints which you make against Him. And what are we? Your complaints are not against us but against the LORD."
- The Holy Spirit is able to make the mountain a plain or finish the impossible problem.
Zechariah 4:6-9
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!"'"
4:8 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
4:9 "The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it. Then you will know That the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.
Holy Spirit is able to give success and beautiful future. We are employed in the revival of Holy Spirit at the last rain, namely the building of the perfect body of Christ.
We serve to God, starting from the household, sheepherding, inter-sheepherding, up to the unity of the perfect body of Christ, namely Israel and the Gentiles become one body.
- The Holy Spirit renews our life continuously until Jesus comes a second time. We will be changed to become perfect as Jesus is. We will not stumble in words anymore, but we rejoice with Him on the glorious clouds.
Titus 3:5
3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
God blesses us.
