The facts found in it are as follows:
- There are no evil, uncleanness, and bitterness.
- Our heart desires the pure milk of the word, namely the true teaching word in the anointing of Holy Spirit.
- We only cry anywhere, anytime, and in any circumstances.
A crying baby just confesses his weakness and infirmity, not his superiority.
Water baptism is the selection whether we want to become dog and swine which are shameless until God punishes us or become like a baby who is shameless to cry to God.

- The prayer of the upright is God's delight. Our prayer will be answered by Him.
Proverbs 15:8
15:8. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
God is able to finish impossible problem in His time.
If we have not been helped by God, we must do introspection in our life whether we are honest and sincere or not. - God's countenance beholds the upright.
Psalm 11:7
11:7. For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.
It means as follows:- We experience peace from God, so our heart is calm. We do not worry or get afraid anymore. All things become easy and light.
Numbers 6:26
6:26. The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace." '
God takes up and bears our labor and heavy burden. - We experience the shekinah glory of God. It is the same as experiencing the renewal of life from fleshly men to spiritual ones like Jesus, especially on the face. Our senses are changed.
Good earwill hear the true teaching word and obey it. The youth also hears and obeys parents' advice.
Good mouthwill speak good and true word as well as become the testimony for others.
Mark 7:37
7:37. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hearand the mute to speak."
If both ear and mouth are good, God will make all things good.
On the contrary, if both ear and mouth are not good, we will experience the spiritual epilepsy. It starts from being conceited up to total destruction of life.
The epilepsy refers to the problem that is never finished.
- We experience peace from God, so our heart is calm. We do not worry or get afraid anymore. All things become easy and light.
- The upright is waiting for Jesus' second coming.
Psalm 25:21
25:21. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You.
Psalm 27:14
27:14. Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!
Waiting on Jesus' second coming is the same as being strong and of good courage. It means that one is not disappointed or desperate and does not leave God whatever risk may come. We minister to God faithfully and fervently. We also always cry out to God or worship Him. We totally trust and commit ourselves to God
1 Thessalonians 3:13
3:13. so that He may establish your heartsblameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christwith all His saints.
If we are strong and of good courage, God will help, purify and change us continuously until we are worthy to greet when Jesus comes a second time.
God blesses us.
