(To Coincide with Fasting Prayer Service Session III)
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 2:2-3, 6
2:2 “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;
2:3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary.
2:6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
The congregation of Ephesus has nine superiorities that are admitted by God, as follows:
But God has something against the congregation of Ephesus because they have lost their first love. Nine superiorities without first love are pride and arrogance only thus the congregation of Ephesus falls in deep pit and their lampstand is taken. They enter the outer darkness.
If nine superiorities are added with the first love, they will become nine gifts of Holy Spirit, nine ministries from Son of God, nine activities of love from Father God, and nine fruits of Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6
12:4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
12:5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.
12:6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
Every servant of God that lives in holiness will be equipped with the things as follows:
Thus, the servant of God that lives in holiness will get two great things as follows:
The functions of sun, moon, and stars are as follow:
God blesses us.
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 2:2-3, 6
2:2 “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;
2:3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary.
2:6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
The congregation of Ephesus has nine superiorities that are admitted by God, as follows:
- There is a work.
- Labor.
- Patience.
- They cannot bear those who are evil.
- Theyhave tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars.
- They have persevered and have patience.
- They have labored for Jesus name’s sake.
- They have not become weary.
- They hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans.
But God has something against the congregation of Ephesus because they have lost their first love. Nine superiorities without first love are pride and arrogance only thus the congregation of Ephesus falls in deep pit and their lampstand is taken. They enter the outer darkness.
If nine superiorities are added with the first love, they will become nine gifts of Holy Spirit, nine ministries from Son of God, nine activities of love from Father God, and nine fruits of Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6
12:4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
12:5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.
12:6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
Every servant of God that lives in holiness will be equipped with the things as follows:
- Nine gifts of Holy Spiritwill become the garland of twelve stars (the light of stars).
- Nine ministries from Son of Godwill become the moon under the feet (the light of moon).
- Nine activities of love from Father God will become the clothed with the sun (the light of sun).
Thus, the servant of God that lives in holiness will get two great things as follows:
- We are accompanied by God Trinity (Lord Jesus Christ) as the source of anything in this world until the eternal life.
- We have the light of sun, moon, and stars.
The functions of sun, moon, and stars are as follow:
- It is for separating the light and the dark so we can live in holiness (light) in the midst of dark world at the last days.
Genesis 1:16-18
1:16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
1:17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,
1:18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
God is able to make everything good in time and give us good future life. - It is for keeping us as the priests and kings.
Jeremiah 33:19-21
33:19 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
33:20 “Thus says the Lord: ‘If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their season,
33:21 then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, My ministers.
We can serve and minister to God until the end line even to the throne of God.
Revelation 22:3, 5
22:3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
22:5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
The result is the right ministry removes us from the ambience of curse in this world to the one of the throne of Heaven. - It is for presenting us as the light of the world like Jesus and the bride of Heaven.
Revelation 12:1
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.
Revelation 12:2-3
12:2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
12:3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
The condition of the church of God is like a woman who is giving birth and facing the dragon or in powerlessness. She can cry only to God, worship Him with broken heart and cry out Jesus’ name. The results are as follows:- God gives two wings of great eagle.
Revelation 12:13-14
12:13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.
12:14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
Two wings of great eagle are for crossing the tempest in the midst of the sea of world. It is the mercy hand of God that is caring and protecting us in the difficulties of world, solving our problems even the impossible ones. It also gives calmness, peace, and everything becomes easy and light.
Two wings of great eagle are for making us fly to the wilderness for three and half years far away from the eyes of Antichrist. We are cared and protected directly by God through the Word and Holy Communion. - God gives new strength so we become strong and of good courage to wait Jesus’ second coming.
Isaiah 40:29-31
40:29 He gives power to the weak,and to those who have no might He increases strength.
40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,and the young men shall utterly fall,
40:31 But those who wait on the Lordshall renew their strength;they shall mount up with wings like eagles,they shall run and not be weary,they shall walk and not faint.
It means as follows:- We do not labor nor have heavy burden but keep faithful and fervent in service and ministry.
- We do not stumble nor fall in sin up to the peak of sin, but live in holiness. We do not stumble nor fall because of false teaching, but hold fast to true teaching Word whatever the risk may come.
- We keep on experiencing the renewal, spiritual miracle from carnal men to spiritual ones like Jesus, until result in nine fruits of Holy Spirit (changing=bearing fruit).
Galatians 5:22-23
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
5:23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Love, joy, peace= the image of Father God.
Longsuffering, kindness, goodness= the image of Son of God.
Faithfulness, gentleness, self-control= the image of Holy Spirit God.
There is the image of God Trinity that is obedience until the flesh does not sound anymore.
Then the physical miracle happens, the impossible things become possible.
If God comes a second time, we will be changed to become as glorious as He is. We are lifted up to see Jesus on glorious clouds until sit together with Him on the throne of heaven forever.
- God gives two wings of great eagle.
God blesses us.
