To Coincide with Fasting Prayer Service Session III
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 12:3
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.
This is the clear appearance of Satan which is completed by the six activities as follows
ad. 1. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to earth.
Specifically, the stars refer to the shepherds who are used by God. Generally, it refers to the life that is used to glorify God (the priest and the king).
Isaiah 9:15
9:15. The elder and honorable, he is the head; the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
The tail means the false teaching or the spirit of lies.
The false teaching will draw a third of the priests of God who are used by Him in the Bride Tidings or the true teaching Word.
The facts found in the tail or the false teaching in everyday life are as follows:
God blesses us.
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 12:3
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.
This is the clear appearance of Satan which is completed by the six activities as follows
- Verse 4a = His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to earth (it is explained in Bible Study Service in Malang, November 24th, 2020).

ad. 1. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to earth.
Specifically, the stars refer to the shepherds who are used by God. Generally, it refers to the life that is used to glorify God (the priest and the king).
Isaiah 9:15
9:15. The elder and honorable, he is the head; the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
The tail means the false teaching or the spirit of lies.
The false teaching will draw a third of the priests of God who are used by Him in the Bride Tidings or the true teaching Word.
The facts found in the tail or the false teaching in everyday life are as follows:
- The gods of the Gentiles or the service and ministry of the Gentiles that contradict with the Bible.
Deuteronomy 12:29-32
12:29. "When the Lord your God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land,
12:30. take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.'
12:31. You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way; for every abomination to the Lord which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.
12:32. "Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.
We must not want to know so that we are not ensnared or made fall down, let alone to follow them. - The false prophet who appears openly and gives miraculous sign physically.
Deuteronomy 13:1-5
13:1. "If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
13:2. and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, 'Let us go after other gods'--which you have not known--'and let us serve them,'
13:3. you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
13:4. You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him.
13:5. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to entice you from the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. So you shall put away the evil from your midst.
The facts found in it are shaman, fortune-teller, and witch.
The miraculous sign from the false prophet is a test of faith and love whether we are earnest to God or not. Do not be swayed! (or Do not come along!) - Satan uses family in the flesh, namely wife, husband, kids, parents, son or daughter-in-law, parents in-law, brother or sister, best friends, boyfriends or girlfriends, fiancé, et cetera. They are used to turn our way of faith to false teaching, and turn the way of the service to God or marriage to the wrong one.
Deuteronomy 13:6-11
13:6. "If your brother, the son of your mother, your son or your daughter, the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, secretly entices you, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods,' which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers,
13:7. of the gods of the people which are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth,
13:8. you shall not consent to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him or conceal him;
13:9. but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people.
13:10. And you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13:11. So all Israel shall hear and fear, and not again do such wickedness as this among you.
We must take a firm decision to keep on holding fast to the true teaching word (the true service and ministry) and reject the false teaching. It is the same as throwing stones.
If we are firm, everybody can be saved. - The corrupt men are the lives that are not satisfied with the fleshly matters, and then they start to gossip, drag, and mislead others to get out from the true shepherding that is brought up by the Bride Tidings.
Deuteronomy 13:12-18
13:12. "If you hear someone in one of your cities, which the Lord your God gives you to dwell in, saying,
13:13. 'Corrupt men have gone out from among you and enticed the inhabitants of their city, saying, "Let us go and serve other gods" '--which you have not known--
13:14. then you shall inquire, search out, and ask diligently. And if it is indeed true and certain that such an abomination was committed among you,
13:15. you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying it, all that is in it and its livestock--with the edge of the sword.
13:16. And you shall gather all its plunder into the middle of the street, and completely burn with fire the city and all its plunder, for the Lord your God. It shall be a heap forever; it shall not be built again.
13:17. So none of the accursed things shall remain in your hand, that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of His anger and show you mercy, have compassion on you and multiply you, just as He swore to your fathers,
13:18. because you have listened to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep all His commandments which I command you today, to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
So, the tail drags the person, the family, and shepherding or church, until later the great deception befalls the whole world.
Our attitudes must be as follows :- To strike them with the edge of the sword. It refers to the work of the true teaching Word that is sharper than any two-edged sword.
- To burn them with fire. It refers to the power or the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Through the fasting prayer, let us return to the true teaching Word and the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 6:17
6:17. But you, when you fast, anoint your headand wash your face,
The signs of the true fasting prayer are as follows:- 'wash your face' = the heart is sanctified by the Word of God.
- 'anoint your head' = the mind is anointed by the Holy Spirit.
The results of the pure heart and mind are as follows:- We are not affected by false teaching, but only long for the pure milk of the word or the shepherding Word.
When a baby drinks the milk, he becomes full, calm, and satisfied. - We can see God; even we only see Him.
Matthew 5:8
5:8. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
We only worship God until He has mercy on us.
Psalms 123:1-4
123:1. A Song of Ascents. Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens.
123:2. Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He has mercy on us.
123:3. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt
123:4. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorn of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
When we did not receive His mercy yet, we must keep on worshiping God in fasting prayer and all night-long prayer.
Keep looking at Him! We only confess our flaws and weaknesses physically and spiritually to Him until He has mercy on us.
The results are as follows :- The merciful hands of God are stretched to protect and preserve us who are small and powerless in the midst of crisis in the world. We are preserved abundantly up to the era of Antichrist. We keep on giving thanks to God and being blessing for others.
Mark 6:34-37
6:34. And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassionfor them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.
6:35. When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, "This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.
6:36. Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat."
6:37. But He answered and said to them, "You give them something to eat."And they said to Him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?" - The merciful hands of God are able to cure the impossible disease, including in marriage and economy.
Mark 1:40-41
1:40. Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."
1:41. Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."
In the past, leprosy was impossible to cure. It is the same as bringing the dead into living. - The merciful hands of God are able to bring the dead into living.
Luke 7:13-16
7:13. When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on herand said to her, "Do not weep."
7:14. Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood 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.
7:16. Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen up among us"; and, "God has visited His people."
To die spiritually means being dead to sins up to the peak. It can be renewed by God to live in righteousness and holiness, so it becomes the testimony for God.
To die physically or the total failure is renewed to be successful and beautiful. The impossible thing becomes the possible one. The tears are wiped away.
It continues until He comes that we are renewed to be perfect and worthy for welcoming His second coming. We see Him face to face in the glorious clouds, up to sit side by side with Him at the throne of Heaven forever.
- The merciful hands of God are stretched to protect and preserve us who are small and powerless in the midst of crisis in the world. We are preserved abundantly up to the era of Antichrist. We keep on giving thanks to God and being blessing for others.
- To strike them with the edge of the sword. It refers to the work of the true teaching Word that is sharper than any two-edged sword.
God blesses us.
