(To Coincide with Fasting Prayer Service Session III)Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 4:54:5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire wereburning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.There are seven lamps in front of the throne of heaven. They are the same as the seven lamps on the Golden Candlestick, the seven braids of Samson's hair, and Holy Spirit with seven forms in the persona of Jesus.
Isaiah 11:1-311:1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
11:2 (1) The Spirit of the Lordshall rest upon Him,(2) The Spirit of wisdom and (3) understanding,
(4) The Spirit of counsel and (5) might,(6) The Spirit of knowledge and of (7) the fear of the Lord.
11:3 His delight isin the fear of the Lord,and He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,nor decide by the hearing of His ears;The peak of anointing of Holy Spirit is the fear of the Lord.The practice is as follows:
- Hating the sin and lie.
Proverbs 8:13
8:13 The fear of the Lordisto hate evil;Pride and arrogance and the evil wayand the perverse mouth I hate.
It means loving God and others.
Proverbs 3:7-8
3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;Fear the Lordand depart from evil.
3:8 It will be health to your flesh,and strength to your bones.
The result is the power of healing from any disease, fear, stress, and illness in marriage and children. It also refreshes the bone. It means the peace and satisfaction of heaven, so we can enter the perfect body of Christ.
If we keep the sin and hate others, we are like the scattered dry bones.
- Ministering God in faithfulness and sincerity.
Joshua 24:14
24:14 "Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord!
The sincerity means having no purpose to get physical advantage, but sacrificing time, effort, money, and so on except the true teaching Word or Jesus Himself for the ministry.
Isaiah 11:5
11:5 Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,and faithfulness the belt of His waist.
We serve and ministry God in faithfulness and righteousness.
Luke 17:7-8
17:7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down to eat'?
17:8 But will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink'?
It means serving with belt. We give meal and drink to Jesus or we satisfy God. Our ministry pleases God.
The results are as follows:
- The business of our eating-drinking is God's. He is able to care us miraculously in the midst of difficulties in the world until the days when the Antichrist reigns on earth for three and a half years.
- We experience the satisfaction of heaven,so we will not look for any satisfaction in the world. We will not fall in sin up to the peak of sin that is the sin of eating-drinking (smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse) and marrying-being given in marriage (fornications, infidelity). Our life becomes easy and light.
- We are adorned by God.
Jeremiah 2:32
2:32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments,ora bride her attire?Yet My people have forgotten Me days without number.
The belt makes our life tidy and beautiful. Until it becomes the ornament of the bride.
- Glorifying and worshiping God.
Revelation 14:7
14:7 saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."
The worship prayer is the process of ripping the flesh with all its lust and will, so we experience the renewal of life from carnal man to spiritual one like Jesus, namely obedience until the flesh does not sound anymore. It is the same as stretching out two hands to God. Then, God will stretch out His hands towards us. We live in His great mercy hands.
The results are as follows:
- The power to divide the sea.
Exodus 14:16, 21-22
14:16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry groundthrough the midst of the sea.
14:21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lordcaused the sea to go backby a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land,and the waters were divided.
14:22 So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground,and the waters werea wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
It is the power of God's help that makes impossible things possible. All problems are finished by God in due time.
- The power of lifting up.
Matthew 14:29-32
14:29 So He said, "Come."And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
14:30 But when he saw that the wind wasboisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"
14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched out Hishand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
14:32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
It is to lift up the failure to become successful and beautiful in time. We are employed in the building of the body of Christ.
- The power of life renewal.
John 21:18-19
21:18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry youwhere you do not wish."
21:19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, "Follow Me."
Peter stretched out his hands because he almost drowned. Now, he stretches his hands because he loves God more than anything.
We must persevere in the shepherding so we will increase in love. We can stretch out our hands not because we are deeply distressed but we love Him more than anything. We serve and minister God until the end line. We experience the power of life renewal from carnal man to spiritual one like Jesus. It continues until we are lifted up to the glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time.
God blesses us.
