(To Coincide with Fasting Prayer Service Session III)Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation chapter 2 and 3 refer to the seven sprinklings of blood in front of the Ark. It refers to seven letters for seven congregations of Gentiles, the last purifying for the church at the last days to be perfected like Jesus to greet His second coming.
In Old Testament, once a year Aaron as the high priest entered the Holy of Holiest of Tabernacle and brought blood and incense to sprinkle two times seven sprinklings of blood in order to reconcile for erasing the sin of Israel, the chosen people of God.
In New Testament, Jesus as the High Priest brings His own blood and prays intercession (incense) to reconcile for erasing the sin of man, Israel and Gentiles.
The results of reconciliation ministry of the High Priest are as follows:
- All sins are reconciled/forgiven/finished by Jesus’ blood.
Hebrews 2:17-18
2:17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
2:18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
The process of reconciliation is as follows:
- Confessing the sin to God and others truthfully. If we are forgiven, do not sin anymore. It is repentance.
- Forgiving and forgetting other’s sin.
Jesus’ blood finishes/forgives/erases all sins. The proof is we are not accused and do not accuse others. We feel peaceful and live in unity. It starts from marriage, shepherding, among shepherding until the unity of the perfect body of Christ.
If sin is finished, all problems will be solved by God [Hebrews 2:18].
- Jesus has taken our sin on the cross so we, who have been corrupted by sin, may be justified by His blood and live in righteousness.
2 Corinthians 5:17-21
5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
5:18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
5:19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
5:20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
We become the instrument of righteousness and being trusted by God in ministry. It means we become the priest and the king, the life that ministers to God in faithfulness, righteousness, and peace. Everything becomes easy and light.
Matthew 11:28-30
11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
11:30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
How great a man is, his life is in labor, heavy burden, and ambience of curse. For that reason, there is offering from God to man.
We must receive the offering of God through learning to be gentle and humble. Being humble is we are able to confess the sin. Being gentle is we are able to forgive other’s sin. The sin is solved so we can serve God.
God trusts the ministry to us, it is not to torment or burden our life but it is to make our life easy, light, and joyful.
- We experience the renewal from carnal man to spiritual one like Jesus.
2 Corinthians 5:17
5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
The life renewal is the spiritual and the biggest miracle.
Ephesians 4:23-25
4:23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
4:24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
4:25 Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.
The sign of new man is no lying, but saying right (it is according to the Word) and good (it becomes blessing for others) Words. Honesty is saying yes if yes, no if no, especially about the true teaching Word (the persona of God). Honesty must also be in marriage, finance, confessing the sin, and everything.
Proverbs15:8
15:8 Thesacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,but the prayer of the upright is His delight.
We will become the house of prayer. Our prayer will be answered by God. We can cry out Jesus’ name and experience the power of His name.
The results are as follows:
- The power of victory over Satan trinity.
Philippians 2:9-10
2:9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
Satan is the source of problems. Winning over Satan means every problem is fixed by God even the impossible ones.
Satan is the source of tears. Winning over Satan means the tears are wiped, experiencing the consolation and joy.
Satan is the source of sins. Winning over Satan means we can live in righteousness and holiness.
- The power of healing from any illness.
Acts 3:6-8
3:6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
3:7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
3:8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.
Lameness refers to uncleanness, the ruin of marriage and children. There is the power of restoration to restore the marriage and children, the service and ministry so we can be faithful and fervent.
- The power of Jesus’ name gives the beautiful, successful, and joyful future.
Hebrews 1:3-4
1:3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged oursins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
1:4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
When Jesus comes a second time, we will be changed in the twinkling of eye and become as glorious as He is, the Bride of Heaven that is ready to greet His second coming on glorious clouds.
God blesses us.
