Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 4:14:1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standingopen in heaven. And the first voice which I heard waslike a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."
At Patmos Island, John sees a door which is open in heaven.
Genesis 28:16-1728:16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the Lordis in this place, and I did not know it."
28:17 And he was afraid and said, "How awesome isthis place! This isnone other than the house of God, and this isthe gate of heaven!"Jacob dreams about seeing the door of heaven. It is the house of God. There are three meanings of the house of God as follows:
- The place of God's caring our life spiritually and physically.
Genesis 28:20-22
28:20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on,
28:21 so that I come back to my father's house in peace, then the Lordshall be my God.
28:22 And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You."
- In spiritual life, God gives the spiritual food or the revelation of the Word of God.
- In physical life, God gives the caring of our daily need, protection, and the joy of heaven.
The proof that He cares in our life is we can give tithe that belongs to God. The tithe is the confession that we are blessed by Him. It is also the confession that everything we receive comes from God, we are cared in spiritual and physical life until the eternal one.
Malachi 3:10
3:10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this," says the Lord of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.
If we give tithe, the door of heaven is open for us until we enter the eternal kingdom of heaven.
- The place of praising God or the place of ministering Him.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and thatthe Spirit of God dwells in you?
3:17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which templeyou are.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who isin you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
We are bought by the blood of Jesus that is priceless. Thus, we belong to God; we are the house of God, the place of ministering Him. If we are unfaithful and refuse to minister to God, we owe the blood of Jesus that cannot be paid by anything even by the punishment in hell.
1 Peter 2:9
2:9 But you area chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
The one who can minister God is the priest and king.
The priest means as follows:
- The one who lives in holiness. In order to live in holiness, he must stay in Holy Place that is the perseverance in sheepfold, the perseverance in three main services. The body, soul, and spirit are purified intensively by the God Trinity so we live in the anointing of Holy Spirit.
- The one who is trusted in ministry and the gift of Holy Spirit - the tunic of many colors or the one who is employed in the ministry of the building of the body of Christ. It starts from the marriage, shepherding, and inter-shepherding.
Ephesians 4:11-12
4:11 And He Himself gave some to beapostles, 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,
- The life that is ministering in faithfulness and truth, faithfulness and fervency, faithfulness and goodness.
Revelation 19:11
19:11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him wascalled Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
The results are as follows:
- The door of heaven is open so we are employed in the revival of the white horse or the Holy Spirit at the last rain for the building of the perfect body of Christ that is the Bride of Heaven or the perfect house of God.
- Everything will become beautiful in time.
- The house of prayer or the place for worshiping God.
Mark 11:17
11:17 Then He taught, saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it a 'den of thieves.' "
If we refuse to worship God, we will become the den of thieves or the place of evil and uncleanness spirit.
Matthew 17:1-2, 5
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.
17:5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"
In the true worship, the door of heaven is open so the life renewal happens. It is the renewal of flesh man to become the spiritual one like Jesus. The life renewal starts from face or the heart. It is filled with the love of God so there is no evil. uncleanness, bitterness, envy, revenge, disappointment, et cetera.
We are changed to become the child or baby that only cries out to God. We feel unworthy, unable, and only hope for the mercy of God.
The results are as follows:
- The grace hands of God are able to care and protect us in the midst of difficulties in the world until the days of Antichrist reigning for three and a half years.
- The grace hands of God are able to help and finish all problems even the impossible ones.
- The grace hands of God are able to give the successful and beautiful future in time.
- The grace hands of God are able to purify and change us little by little until we become as perfect and glorious as Jesus is. We are lifted up to glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time until we enter the kingdom of heaven. We become the house of God forever.
Revelation 21:2-3
21:2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
21:3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God iswith men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and betheir God.
God blesses us.
