Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 3:20
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
God rebukes, exhorts, and chastens the church of the Laodiceans or us. It is the same as God knocks the door of our heart. He is approaching us; there is a step between us and God so the death cannot touch us. We are set free from the death.

The practices of giving all worries to God are as follows:
- [Luke 12:32] Becoming the sheep that is shepherded. We are shepherded because we feel small and powerless. We need to stay in sheepfold.
We persevere in three kinds of main service as follows:- Golden Candlestick, referring to the perseverance in doing General Service, the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the gifts.
- Table of Showbread, referring to the perseverance in doing Bible Study Service with Holy Communion, the fellowship with the Son of God in the Word and the sacrifice of the Christ.
- Golden Altar of Incense, referring to the perseverance in doing Prayer Service, the fellowship with Father God in the love.
The character of dog is licking the vomit. It refers the vain word.
The character of the sow is repeating the sin.
We are purified from the anxiety so we can feel peace and everything becomes light and easy. We live from the mercy and grace of God. - Golden Candlestick, referring to the perseverance in doing General Service, the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the gifts.
- [Luke 12:31] Prioritizing the ministry more than anything on earth.
Matthew 6:33
6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
If we prioritize the ministry and serve God in faithfulness and fervency, everything will be added.
1 Peter 5:7
5:7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Jesus as the Great Shepherd willingly dies on the cross to add all our need (our daily need and future) and care us abundantly so we always give thanks. - Calm.
1 Peter 4:7
4:7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
Calm means we control ourselves and do not hope to others or anything in this world. We only hope in God and there is no doubt or worry. We can pray, trust, and entrust ourselves fully to God. We stretch out our hands to God.
Luke 7:13-15
7:13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."
7:14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried himstood still. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."
7:15 So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.
God will stretch out His mercy hands with the power of resurrection to bring the miracles. The spiritual miracle is the dead becomes live. It is the life renewal from carnal men to spiritual ones and the tears are wiped.
What is the cause of the tears?- The doubtful heart to the persona and the power of God. It must be changed to become believing and holding fast to the true teaching Word.
- Being speechless means one does not want to confess the sin but blames others and God. It causes the tears.
Matthew 22:11-13
22:11 "But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.
22:12 So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.
22:13 Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast himinto outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
It must be changed to become confessing the sin to God and others. If the sin is finished, the tears will be wiped. - The servant of God who is unfaithful, wicked, lazy, and irresponsible.
Matthew 25:26, 30
25:26 "But his lord answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.
25:30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
It must be changed to become the servant that is faithful and good, faithful and responsible. - The marriage and children that are wrong can cause the tears.
We must watch the righteousness, holiness, and unity of marriage.
Every step of our life is the step of miracle with God. Until the last miracle, we are perfect to greet the second coming of Jesus. There are no tears anymore. - The doubtful heart to the persona and the power of God. It must be changed to become believing and holding fast to the true teaching Word.
God blesses us.
