To Coincide with Fasting Prayer Service Session III
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 14 refers to the seven sprinklings of blood in front of the Ark of the Covenant or the suffering in the flesh for the church together with Jesus as the last sanctification that the church can reach the quality of being blameless or perfect.
Revelation 14 can be divided into the following three parts:
ad. 2.
Revelation 14:9-11
14:9. Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand,
14:10 "he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
14:11 "And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
The third angel preaches the judgment for those who worship the beast and his image or worship the Antichrist and receive the mark on the forehead and hand.
We have learned about the facts found in worshiping the Antichrist, namely not repenting until not worshiping Jesus.
Now we learn about ones who worship the Antichrist as follows.
The liars, unclean, and abominable have the heart and mind which attach to money. They also have the mouth which blasphemes and cannot worship God, but the Antichrist. Such life will be the same as the Antichrist and get the judgment of God up to the lake of fire and brimstone or the place of the Antichrist.
Therefore, we must try hard for worshiping God in the true worship.
John 4:23-24
4:23."But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
4:24 "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
The true worship must be encouraged by the Spirit and truth or the true teaching Word in the anointing of Holy Spirit or the teaching Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword.
Thus, in the true worship, we must hear and obey the true teaching Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword, so we get the continual sanctification.
What must be sanctified?
If the heart, eyes, and mouth are holy, we must be able to worship God and we get His power.
The examples and results are as follows:
God blesses you.
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 14 refers to the seven sprinklings of blood in front of the Ark of the Covenant or the suffering in the flesh for the church together with Jesus as the last sanctification that the church can reach the quality of being blameless or perfect.
Revelation 14 can be divided into the following three parts:
- Verse 1-5 = the church's following Jesus as the Lamb of God (it has been explained from General Service in Malang, August 15, 2021to Prayer Service in Malang, October 14, 2021 ).
- Verse 6-13 = the judgment (it is explained in General Service in Malang, October 17, 2021).
- Verse 14-20 = the harvest on earth.
ad. 2.
Revelation 14:9-11
14:9. Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand,
14:10 "he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
14:11 "And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
The third angel preaches the judgment for those who worship the beast and his image or worship the Antichrist and receive the mark on the forehead and hand.
We have learned about the facts found in worshiping the Antichrist, namely not repenting until not worshiping Jesus.
Now we learn about ones who worship the Antichrist as follows.
- The people whose names are not written in the Book of Life.
Revelation 13:8
13:8. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Lifeof the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 21:27
21:27.But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abominationor a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
They are the unclean and abominable as well as the liars.
The unclean refer to committing sins up to the peak, namely the sins concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage.
Not being courageous for fighting against the self-will, one will not endure fighting against the Antichrist.
Genesis 46:34
46:34."that you shall say, 'Your servants' occupation has been with livestock from our youth even till now, both we and also our fathers,' that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians."
The abominable refer to ones who do not want to be shepherded well and correctly.
For example, Esau was the firstborn son and he had all things. Nevertheless, he did not like to be in the tent. He liked hunting the flesh. His sight was only towards the fleshly things, so he did not want to be shepherded. He sacrificed the spiritual things such as the truth and the service and ministry to God for the physical things until entering the wrong marriage. He took the woman of Het who made his parents grieved because of his fleshly sight and will.
The wrong marriage refers to the peak of the fleshly lusts.
Consequently, he lost his firstborn right and could not enter the marriage supper of the Lamb when Jesus comes a second time. He also lost the right to inherit the heavenly kingdom. Such life weeps bitterly from now on until forever in the hell. - Ones whose heart and mind are controlled by the spirit of selling and buying until being bound by the will of money.
Revelation 13:16-17
13:16.He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
13:17 and that no one may buy or sellexcept one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Such life does not love God, but money. It means attaching to money until being separated from God like Judas Iscariot.
Attaching to money, one will worship it and be stingy and greedy.
Stinginess means that one cannot give to the work of God and others who are in need.
Greediness means stealing the possession of others, especially God's, namely the tithes and offerings.
The consequences are as follows:- Hanging himself or being cursed and there is no certainty of life.
- Bursting open in the middle or being rotten and destroyed forever.
- Hanging himself or being cursed and there is no certainty of life.
- Ones who have the mouth like the mouth of 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.
It refers to the arrogance, lie, slander, and blasphemy towards God, His name, and His tabernacle.
The liars, unclean, and abominable have the heart and mind which attach to money. They also have the mouth which blasphemes and cannot worship God, but the Antichrist. Such life will be the same as the Antichrist and get the judgment of God up to the lake of fire and brimstone or the place of the Antichrist.
Therefore, we must try hard for worshiping God in the true worship.
John 4:23-24
4:23."But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
4:24 "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
The true worship must be encouraged by the Spirit and truth or the true teaching Word in the anointing of Holy Spirit or the teaching Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword.
Thus, in the true worship, we must hear and obey the true teaching Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword, so we get the continual sanctification.
What must be sanctified?
- The heart and mind which contain fat.
Judges 3:16-17,21-22
3:16.Now Ehud made himself a dagger (it was double-edged and a cubit in length) and fastened it under his clothes on his right thigh.
3:17 So he brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. (Now Eglon was a very fat man.) 3:19 But he himself turned back from the stone images that were at Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." He said, "Keep silence!" And all who attended him went out from him.
3:21 Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.
3:22 Even the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out.
Fat is God's, namely the tithes and offerings.
The heart and mind which are stingy and greedy must be pierced first, so we can have the holy heart.
The proof is returning the tithes and offerings or burning the fat, so there is sweet-smelling aroma before God. - The right eye is sanctified from the fleshly sight, so we have the spiritual sight.
Matthew 5:29
5:29."If your right eyecauses you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
The spiritual sight means that the eyes only look at Jesus as the High Priest, so we can worship Him. - The mouth is sanctified from the meaningless words, so we can be honest and believing.
Psalm 149:6
149:6.Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,
It means being the house of prayer.
If the heart, eyes, and mouth are holy, we must be able to worship God and we get His power.
The examples and results are as follows:
- The fathers, husbands, or pastors.
Mark 9:23-24
9:23.Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
9:24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!"
The fathers, husbands, or pastors many times have unbelief, so God let her child be epileptic.
Verse 24 = being honest and believing, so the epilepsy was healed.
The impossible physical disease can be cured. The mental sickness can also be healed, so we are in serenity and all things become easy and light.
The epilepsy refers to sins up to the peak. We get the power of sanctification, so we can live in righteousness and holiness. The destruction in marriage and children can be healed to be righteous, holy, and one until reaching the perfect marriage. - The widow of Zarephath, the representative of mothers.
1 Kings 17:12-15,17
17:12.So she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
17:13 And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son.
17:14 "For thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the LORD sends rain on the earth.'"
17:15 So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days.
17:17 Now it happened after these things that the son of the woman who owned the house became sick. And his sickness was so serious that there was no breath left in him.
She was honest that she only had a little oil, but she believed when Elijah told her to make bread for him first.
As a result, there is power of God's protection and preservation for us who are small and powerless in the midst of the difficulties in the world until the time when the Antichrist reigns over the world. The condition of having nothing can be changed into having something.
We must try hard, and then the power of God will work. The important thing is being the house of prayer.
Her child was also dead, but then resurrected. The power of God makes impossible thing become possible. - Mary, the representative of youth.
John 11:32
11:32.Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."
Mary faced Lazarus who had been dead for four days or rottenness.
She was honest that she could not do anything without God.
She also believed fully to God.
As a result, the rottenness can be fragrance, the failure can be success and beauty, and the impossible things become possible.
When Jesus comes a second time, we will be changed to be as perfect as He is for being worthy to welcome His second coming on the glorious clouds. We do not stumble in words. We shout for joy saying "Alleluia". We enter the Paradise and the New Jerusalem forever.
God blesses you.
