Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 22:3 22:3. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of Godand of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.The leaves of the tree refers to Jesus' body and blood for the healing of the nations, namely the sins up to the peak which have become the characteristic.
As a result, there shall be no more curse or our relationship with God is restored. We can feel the atmosphere of the throne of God.
Psalm 11:4,711:4. The LORD is in His holy temple, The LORD'S throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
11:7. For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.God's eyes which are like a flame of fire behold from the throne of heaven. He sees carefully and deeply. God remembers, cares, and struggles for us. He does all things that we cannot do until He makes us perfect to become His bride.
1 Corinthians 7:29-347:29. But this I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none,
7:30. those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess,
7:31. and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this world is passing away.
7:32. But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord--how he may please the Lord.
7:33. But he who is married cares about the things of the world--how he may please his wife.
7:34. There is a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world--how she may please her husband.As for us, we must care about God more than anything in the world, so we are not worried or shaken, and destroyed with the world, but we become holy and perfect.
The facts of caring about God are as follows:
- Caring about the prophetic Word.
2 Peter 1:19
1:19. And so we have the prophetic wordconfirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;
The prophetic Word or the Bride Tidings is the one that reveals something that has not happened yet but will happen for sure in the future, especially about Jesus' second coming.
It means that we must hear the Bride Tidings earnestly until we understand it and do the introspection in our life. Further, we believe in the Word, so it becomes faith in our heart. The faith is the brake to not sinning and gas pedal to do the right thing as well as minister to God. It continues until we can do the Word, so we are purified. We can live in holiness.
Ephesians 4:11-12
4:11. And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
4:12. for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
We are equipped with the ministry and Holy Spirit's gift from God. We are appointed as the priests and kings to be used in the ministry of the building of the perfect body of Christ, starting from marriage, shepherding, and inter-shepherding. Our life and marriage become beautiful.
- Caring about the ministry that we have received from God. We minister to God according to the ministry and gift that God gives to us.
Colossians 4:17
4:17. And say to Archippus, "Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it."
'you may fulfill it' means that we always minister to God faithfully and fervently until the finish line.
2 Peter 1:10-11
1:10. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
1:11. for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
As a result, we are supplied abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of heaven.
- Caring about the lovingkindness of the LORD.
Psalm 107:43
107:43. Whoever is wise will observe these things, And they will understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
Psalm 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.
We always worship God. We see the face of Jesus that shines as the sun. We experience God's mercy.
Judges 2:18
2:18. And when the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed them and harassed them.
As a result, God bears our labor and heavy burden, so we experience peace. All things become easy and light.
Mark 6:34
6:34. And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.
Jesus, the Good Shepherd, willingly dies to shepherd His sheep as well as feed them with the spiritual food, so they are satisfied spiritually. They become happy, so they can give thanks and testify. Jesus blesses physically in abundance.
Job 8:5-7
8:5. If you would earnestly seek God And make your supplication to the Almighty,
8:6. If you were pure and upright, Surely now He would awake for you, And prosper your rightful dwelling place.
8:7. Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.
Jesus willingly dies, but He is risen to purify and change us to become pure and upright. It is the same as becoming the house of prayer. The household is restored until we are changed to become as perfect as God.
God blesses us.
