Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Good evening, let us hear the Word of God. Let the peace, grace, and joy of God be in the midst of us abundantly.

We are still learning Revelation 2-3.
In the arrangement of the Tabernacle, it refers to the seven blood sprinkles in front of the Ark of the Covenant. They also refer to the seven lettersto the seven churches of Gentiles, which is the last sanctificationthat God does to the seven churches of Gentiles(The seven churches at the end of time) to make them perfect like Jesus, and become the bride of Heaven who is ready to welcome His second coming in the glorious cloud.

There are seven churchesthat experience the blood sprinkles as follows

  1. The church of EPHESUS(Revelation 2:17) (it has been explained since General Service in Surabaya, July 27, 2014). The church of Ephesus has to come back to the initial loveto return to the Paradise.
  2. The church of SMYRNA(Revelation 2:8-11) who experienced tribulation, but God said not to be afraid to be in the tribulation and be faithful until dead(it has been explained since General Service in Surabaya, September 14, 2014).

THE CHURCH OF SMYRNA

Revelation 2:11
2:11 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death."'

God's promise to the church of Smyrna: He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death(it has been explained since General Service in Surabaya, November 02, 2014).

We see that in Revelation 20:14-15it is mentioned about the second death and who will get into it.
Revelation 20:14-15
20:14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
20:15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Lifewas cast into the lake of fire.

It has been explained since Bible Study Service, November 03, 2014that there are 3 kinds of death as follows.

  • The body or physical death.
  • The spiritual death.
    Committing or living in sins means being dead spiritually.

  • The second death, which means being cast into the hell or the lake of fire.

In verse 15, it is written 'not found written in the Book of Life' which means that those whose name are not found written in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire.

In Revelation 2:11, it is written 'He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death', which means that those who will not be hurt by the second death are those whose names are written in the Book of Life.
On the contrary, if our names are not written in the Book of Life, we will be cast into the second death or hell.

We also see in Revelation 13:8.
13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have notbeen written in the Book of Lifeof the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

'worship him' means worshipping antichrist, the beast that came out from the sea.
In conclusion, those whose names are not written in the Book of Life are those who worship the antichrist and enter the second death, perish with antichrist.
On the contrary, those whose names are written in the Book of Life are those who don't worship antichrist, but God.

This evening, we are in a prayer service. Beware! There is a false worship, or the worship to antichrist.

Conclusion: 'shall not be hurt by the second death' means our names are written in the Book of Life or we worship God.

This evening, we need to know whether we worship God or antichrist.
If we worship antichrist, our names are not written in the Book of Life and we will enter the second death.
On the other hand, if we don't worship antichrist, our names are written in the Book of Life and we won't experience hell, but we will live forever.

Now we shall learn the practices of not worshipping antichristas follows.

  1. Revelation 13:16-18
    13:16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
    13:
    17 and that no one may buy or sellexcept one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
    13:
    18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

    'Hecauses', He refers to antichrist.

    When antichrist reigns, only those who have the mark of him shall be able to buy or sell. Those who don't have the mark will not be able to buy and sell, but they will only be tortured.

    The first practice of not worshipping antichrist is being set free from the spirit of buying and selling, as Jesus cleansed the temple from the merchants because they changed the temple into a place of selling and buying (controlled by antichrist).
    The spirit of selling and buying makes us, God's servants and children, stingy and greedy.

    If we are set free from the spirit of selling and buying, we will not be stingy and greedy, which means as follows.

    • Not being greedymeans being able to return God's belonging, which are the tithes and offerings.
      Tithes and offerings are used for God's work.
      Tithes and offerings have to be returned, starting from the shepherd. If we can't return the tithes and offerings, it is dangerous, because we are controlled by the spirit of antichrist, in the same condition as the temple which was used for selling and buying (only looking for profits).

    • Not being stingymeans being able to give and visit others in need, starting from the members of the house. We remember our parents, brothers and sisters, which is then followed by the shepherding and inter-shepherding.

    The resultif we are set free from the spirit of selling or buying (the root of evil) is we will enter the building of the perfect body of Christ and we are set free from the spirit of antichrist (the spirit of selling and buying or the spirit of Babylon).
    The spirit of selling and buying is the root of evil(the love of money) which equals to the Babylon (uncleanness).
    Evil and uncleanness are united.

  2. After God cleansed the temple from the merchants, there were miracles of healing.
    However, there were a group of people who were indignant. It was the spirit of antichrist.

    Matthew 21:14-15
    21:14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.
    21:
    15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant

    The second practice of not worshipping antichrist is being set free from the spirit of indignation. The spirit of indignation is the hatred without reason (People are healed but we are indignant or we hate someone that God uses). Along with the spirit of selling and buying, there is the spirit of indignation.

    Beware! Hatred without reason starts from gossiping, malice. When we are indignant when there is someone who is blessed and used by God, there is antichrist. We should give thanks instead.
    If there is someone that God uses, we should follow his way so that we are used and blessed by God, and not indignant.

    If we are set free from the hatred without reason, we will be able to love others as ourselves, even we can love those who consider us as their enemy, pray for them, and even repay them with goodness. This is the spirit of God.
    If we love others as ourselves, we will be happy when we see other people are blessed. On the contrary, we will be indignant, create gossips, slander, and even kill if we are controlled by the spirit of antichrist (antichrist will pursue, torture, and kill God's children who are left when he reigns the earth).

  3. Revelation 13:16, 18
    13:16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
    13:
    18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

    If we worship antichrist, we will receive a mark '666' on our forehead and right hands.

    The third practice of not worshipping antichrist is not receiving his mark on the forehead and right hand.

    Deuteronomy 6:6-8
    6:6 "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.
    6:
    You shall teach them diligentlyto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
    6:
    You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

    Moses received God's commandments and he preached them to the Israelites.
    'shall talk of them when you sit in your house' is the teaching that we receive to avoid being marked by antichrist, that is to talk about the Word of God instead of gossiping. If we gossip a lot, we are indignant, and the mark comes.

    To avoid the mark of antichriston our foreheads and right hands, we have to markthem with the true Wordwhich is sharper than any two edged sword.
    The process is as follows.

    • We have to listento the true Word earnestly in the anointment of the Holy Spirit until we understandIt. At this moment, the Word is marked on our forehead.
      The Holy Spirit will help us. It is not about how high is our education, but the Holy Spirit that counts. We need to pray earnestly to let the Holy Spirit help us to understand the Word.

    • By the help of the Holy Spirit, we believe and are sureof the true Word and It will become faith in our heart (the Word is marked in our heart).
    • Flesh can't easily practice the Word. This is why, through the help of the Holy Spirit, we can practicethe true Word no matter what the risks are, and the Word is marked on our right hand.

      If we have understood and been sure of the Word, we will surely do It.

    By following this process, there will be no more room for antichrist to give his mark.
    For example: Abraham practiced the Word when he had to offer his son for a burnt offering. Mary had to conceive a child before she was married but she could do it because she had the Holy Spirit.

    If we practice the true Word, our heart and mind will be sanctifiedfrom 12 evil and unclean spirits.

    Hebrews 4:12
    4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercingeven to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    Mark 7:21-23
    7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evilthoughts, 1adulteries, 2fornications, 3murders,
    7:
    22 4thefts, 5covetousness, 6wickedness, 7deceit, 8lewdness, 9an evil eye, 10blasphemy, 11pride, 12foolishness.
    7:
    23 All these evil things come from within and defilea man."

    These 12 evil and unclean spirits can make our heart and mind darkand our eyes become blind too.
    The consequenceis living blindly, committing sins up to the peak of them, which are the sins concerning eating-drinking and the sins of marrying-giving in marriage, that lead to the building of the body of Babylon, the bride of Satan, which will perish forever.

    If our heart and mind are sanctified, our eyes are brightand we can only see God, we worship Him.
    This evening, let's ask to God to be like the church of Smyrna, who received the promise of 'not be hurt by the second death' by having their name written on the Book of Life and not worshipping antichrist.
    The proofis not having the spirit of selling and buying, indignation, and the mark 666, but we are marked by the true Word, both on the forehead and right hand (we practice the Word). If we practice the Word, our heart and mind are sanctified from 12 evil and unclean spirits. They make our eyes, heart and mind, and the whole life blind, as well as lead to the Babylon or the bride of Satan. In such condition, one becomes the worshipper of antichrist who will perish.

    Matthew 5:8
    5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart,For they shall see God.

    This evening, we have listened to the Word which is sharper than any two edged sword. We have let the Word sanctify our heart and mind. Let's be earnest until we understand, believe and are able to practice the Word so that our forehead and right hands are marked by the Word and not by the mark of antichrist. Our heart and mind are sanctified from 12 evil and unclean spirits, our heart is opened, our eyes are bright and not blind, and we can see God's face and worship Himand He makes His face shine upon us.

    Numbers 6:25
    6:25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;

    God's graceis the mercy or His stretched hands.

    These days, let's not worship antichrist but God.
    Whatever our conditions are, keep on worshipping God until He makes His face shine upon us, until He stretches His merciful hands to us.

    The resultsare as follows.

    • Hebrews 4:16
      4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

      The first result is God's graceful and merciful hands are able to help us and solveour problems, even the impossible ones right on His time and it's never too late.

      This evening, we are set free from antichrist, which means we are set free from the spirit of selling and buying, indignation, and 12 evil and unclean spirits.
      When we have troubles and are not helped yet, don't stop! Don't be lazy to worship God. Keep on looking at His face until He makes His face shine upon us with His grace and mercyto help us out from our problems, even the impossible ones right at His time.

      If we can do nothing anymore, just look at God. It's not that we don't care about our problem, but we really have tried our best and can do nothing more.
      Let's increase our spirituality, don't worship antichrist, but God, until we receive His help right at His time.
      God's help is always on time, it is never too late. God will never lie to us.

    • Ecclesiastes 3:11
      3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

      The second result is God's graceful and merciful hands are able to make everything beautiful in His time.
      Everything that has been destroyed can be made beautiful by God.
      'from beginning to end' means everything can't be instant, but gradual. We need to worship God a lot in these days.
      Don't worship antichrist, set your self free from the spirit of selling and buying, indignation, and the mark of antichrist so that we are marked by the Word.

      If we don't like the Word, we are in danger!
      We have to choose whether our forehead and right hand are marked by antichrist or by the Word.
      For exampleif someone is sleepy, lazy, or anything else when he listens to the Word, he is in danger because he is being marked 666.
      If we enjoy listening to the Word and we practice It, we are sanctified and our eyes are looking at God.

      When we can do nothing, no one helps us, don't be discouraged. The key is LOOKING AT GOD! This is the only thing that we need to focus on until God stretches His merciful hands to help us right on His time.
      When Peter was about to drown, Jesus helped him right at His time. If God had not been right on His time, Peter would have died.

      No matter in what condition we are now, maybe we are devastated or facing an impossible problem, our lives may not be beautiful or anything, but it is not too late!
      The proof is we still can come to God.
      If we don't want to come to God, His help can be late.
      As long as we are willing to come to God and look at His face (worship Him), IT IS NOT TOO LATE FOR GOD, He will make everything beautiful right on His time.

    • 1 Peter 5:6
      5:6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,

      The third result is God's graceful and merciful hands are able to exalt us right on His time.
      God's time is never late as long as we are willing to look at His face.
      Peter was about to drown but he shouted 'God, help me'. God's help is right on His time.

      We are here not because of a coincidence, we can shout God's name and look at Him.
      There is still God's help. God can give us beauty and exaltation right on His time.

      God exalts us means as follows.

      1. Everything is successful on His time.
        God changes every failure into a success right on His time. He exalts us from every valley (valley of failure, sins, or anything else).

      2. God uses usaccording to the talent and position of the ministry that He has entrusted upon us right on His time.
        This is why we don't force anything but we let everything flows right on His time.
        Talents and position in the ministry are earned from the laying on of the hands of a shepherd.

        1 Timothy 4:14
        4:14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

        If we have received the laying on of the hands of the eldership, DON'T BE NEGLIGENTbut be faithful and fervent in the ministry. If we are negligent, we are cursed.

        We don't have the term 'being orbited' in this teaching. We flow according to the time of God's works.
        In the physical world, it is possible for an owner of a company to put his son for a certain position, but it is not possible in Heaven since everything is according to God's will.
        We don't have to be panic, but just follow the flow and everything will show up right on His time.
        This is the difference between the kingdom of Heaven and the earth.

      3. Being renewedor changed right on His time.
        Don't hinder anyone to listen to the Word and say 'It is useless to listen to the Word for years, go to church day and night, but you are not changed'. Remember! Don't judge.
        Maybe he is not earnest but one day when he is touched by God, nothing can stop it.

        A testimony:
        "I experienced it before. When we were in prayer, I looked around to see who were crying. I looked at their mouth. I was so evil. One day God touched me, I cried and couldn't hold it."

        Don't judge! If God has touched us right on His time, we will be changed.

        The beginning of a change is from being obedient(returning to the image of God). God created Adam and Eve from His image. However, when they were disobedient, God's image was lost and Satan's image was on them. If we are obedient, we return to God's image.

        We are changed until Jesus' second coming. We are changed to be as glorious as God and lifted up to the clouds and we can look at Him face to face forever and ever.

Right on God's time means that as long as we come to God, it is not too latealthough we are in a bad condition this evening. God will help us, make us beautiful, use and change us. Everything is possible. We can be successful. Don't be hesitant!

The term 'right on God's time' also means we only need to wait for His time. God is working and we only need to wait (to look at Him). We can do nothing and we only need to look at Him. God is working for us to make everything beautiful right on His time until we are lifted up to the clouds to be together with Him, we are looking at Him face to face. This is the most beautiful thing forever and ever.

God blesses us.
