Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke 9:28-36 is about Jesus Transfigured on the Mount.
Luke 9:28-29
9:28. Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
9:29. As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.
Jesus goes up on the mountain to pray. It is the same as prayer. The true worship Is driven by the true teaching word in the anointing of Holy Spirit. It is like the incense that produces fragrance before God.
The prayer is the process of the tearing of flesh with all of its desire, lust, and attitude, so we experience the glory which is the same as the renewal of life.
There are two kinds of the renewal of life in prayeras follows:
- The face is altered.
- The robe becomes white and glistening.
ad. 1. The face is alteredThe face is the same as the heart.
The renewal of face is the same as the one of heart, namely from
hard heart to tender one.
James 3:11-12
3:11. Does a spring send forth freshwater and bitterfrom the same opening?
3:12. Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both saltwater and fresh.
The hard heart contains three things as follows:
- Fresh water.
It refers to losing heart, namely being desperate, disappointed, and having no hope. Consequently, the face is gloomy.
- Bitter water.
It refers to bitter heart, namely envy, hatred, and revenge.
Consequently, the face is gloomy.
- Salt water.
It refers to unclean heartthat contains sins and lie up to the peak of sin, namely sin of eating-drinking and marrying-giving in marriage.
Consequently, there is a bad face like dog and swine, even Satan.
Through the prayer, we experience the renewal of heart from hard heart to tender one, from gloomy face to beaming one.
John 7:37-39
7:37. On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
7:38. "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."
7:39. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.The tender heart contains living wateror the river of living water from the Heaven. It makes the beaming face.
The practices of the tender heart are as follows:
- The living water/Holy Spirit comes up to the ankles.
Ezekiel 47:1-3
47:1. Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar.
47:2. He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side.
47:3. And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles.
It means Holy Spirit anoints our stance, so we have steadfastness, namely we have faith and surely believe Jesus.
In the Tabernacle, it refers to the gate. We have stable faith that Jesus is the only innocent man who is able to save a sinner. We also have stable faith to one true teaching word. Do not be doubtful! Do not say that all the teachings are same.
- The living water/Holy Spirit comes up to the knees.
Ezekiel 47:4
47:4. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist.
It means Holy Spirit anoints our knees, so we may not be shaken, but keep standing fast on the Christ's sacrifice.
The practice is repenting, namely stopping doing sin and returning to God.
In the Tabernacle, it refers to The Altar of Burnt Offerings. We die to sin up to the peak of sin, including lie.
If we sin again, it means our knees are unsteady, dry, and paralyzed.
- The living water/Holy Spirit comes up to the waist.
Ezekiel 47:4
47:4. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist.
The womb is in the waist. It means Holy Spirit anoints the waist, so we experience new birthor water baptism.
In the Tabernacle, it refers to The Brazen Laver.
The true water baptism is one who has died to sin or repented must be buried in the water with Jesus and come out or rise from water with Him to receive new life or heavenly life, namely life in righteousness.
Living in righteousness means our life, marriage, and ministry must be in accordance with the true teaching word.
The kidney is also in the waist. It refers to the inmost minds.
Revelation 2:19,23-24
2:19. "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.
2:23. "I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
2:24. "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.
We must be purified from the teaching of Jezebel and Satan.
The teaching of Jezebel is the one that allows woman to teach and order a man in the marriage and ordination.
Consequently, Jesus does not become the head, but snake. The true arrangement of marriage is the husband is the head of the wife, so Jesus will become the head of the marriage.
The teaching of Satan learns the depths of Satan.
The teaching of Babylon is false teaching that teaches about prosperity and entertainment, but without holiness.
- The living water/Holy Spirit could not be crossedanymore.
Ezekiel 47:5
47:5. Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed.
It means we experience the fullness of Holy Spirit until it overflows in us.
The practice is we cannot walk anymore. It is the same as being obedient.
We do not follow the lust of flesh anymore, but Holy Spirit.
The results are as follows:
- Holy Spirit is able to take care of our life miraculously in the middle of the world's difficulties until antichrist reigns in the world.
Ezekiel 47:8-9
47:8. Then he said to me: "This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed.
47:9. "And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes.
- Holy Spirit is able to take away impossibility; the death thing becomes alive.
- Holy Spirit is able to change and renew us, from the ambience of Sodom Gomorrah to the one of Heaven.
We are changed little by little. The more we are changed, the more beaming face we have.
Until when Jesus comes a second time, we have beaming face like Him and we are worthy to greet Him on the glorious clouds.
God blesses us.
