Bible Study Service in Malang, April 28, 2020 (Tuesday Evening)
Peace
and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation
11:6
11:6.
These have power
to shut heaven, so that no rain falls
in the days of their prophecy; and they have power
over waters to turn them to blood,
and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they
desire.
This
is the power of the two witnesses as follows:
- The
power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls. This is the power of
Elijah.
- The
power over
waters to turn them to blood. This is the power of Moses.
ad. 1. The
power of Elijah.
The matter of there is no rain is the same as dryness.
1
Kings 17:7
17:7.
And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there
had been no rain
in the land.
James
5:17
5:17.
Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly
that it would not rain; and it
did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
The
dryness has ever happened for three and a half years in the age of a
widow of Zarephath, the Gentile, and King Ahab, the Israelite.
1
Kings 18:20-22
18:20.
So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and gathered the
prophets together on Mount Carmel.
18:21. And Elijah came to all
the people, and said, "How long will you falter between two
opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him."
But the people answered him not a word.
18:22. Then Elijah said to
the people, "I alone am left a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's
prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
King
Ahab and the Israelites faltered between the Lord and Baal, and then
they chose to worship Baal. Consequently, they experienced the
dryness.
The other mistake was that they kept worshipping Baal to
face the dryness, so they were not helped.
Zechariah
10:1-2
10:1.
Ask the LORD for rain In the time of the latter rain. The LORD will
make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the
field for everyone.
10:2.
For
the idols speak delusion;
The diviners envision lies, And tell false dreams; They comfort in
vain. Therefore the people wend their way like sheep; They are in
trouble because there is no shepherd.
The
dryness also happened in the age of Zechariah.
Verse one is the
advice and verse two is the reproof.
On that day, the Israelites
kept worshipping the idols.
The
facts of worshipping the idols are as follows:
- Sinning.
One keeps sinning and enjoys committing the sin of evil or the love
of money that makes him greedy and stingy.
Being stingy means
that one cannot give.
Being greedy means that one steals others
especially God's, namely the tithe and special offerings.
It
there is sin of evil, there will be the one of uncleanness, namely
the one of eating-drinking and marrying-giving in marriage.
- Believing
in fortune-telling which is the same as the lie.
- False
dream, including the visions that are not in line with the word of
God.
Now, the idol in the church of God is the visions that are
not in line with the word of God.
- The
physical entertainment. Now, it becomes the idol too in the church
of God, not the true teaching word.
Consequently,
one is not shepherded. It is the same as walking around until he
meets the lion or false teaching, so he experiences spiritual death
up to perdition.
The dryness in the age of Elijah and
Zechariah prophesies about the double dryness in the last days up to
the age of the antichrist who reigns over the world for three and a
half years, and it causes ruin, famine, and perdition
forever.
Zechariah
10:1
10:1.
Ask
the LORD for rain
In the time of the latter rain. The LORD will make flashing clouds;
He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for
everyone.
The
way out from God to face against the double dryness in the last days
is that we must desire and ask the early rain and the later rain to
God, not the physical blessings.
We ask the early rain and the
later rain, so we are not destroyed with the world, but become as
perfect as Jesus. We become the heavenly bride who is ready to greet
Jesus when He comes a second time on the glorious clouds. We enter
the kingdom of heaven and live with Jesus forever.
Every time
we face the physical dryness, the number one of our desire must be
the early rain and the later rain. We keep making effort but we ask
the fist rain and the last one to God.
The
requirements of receiving the early rain and the later rain are as
follows:
-
Providing the good
ground, namely tender heart.
Hebrews
6:7-8
6:7.
For the
earth which drinks in the rain
that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom
it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;
6:8.
but if it bears thorns and briars, it is rejected and near to being
cursed, whose end is to be burned.
Deuteronomy
32:2
32:2.
Let my teaching drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, As
raindrops on the tender herb, And as showers on the grass.
The
rain refers to the true teaching word.
The preaching of the true
teaching word is increased as follows:
- As
the dew. It is seen rarely. One who sleeps spiritually cannot
easily see the dew.
Sleeping spiritually means making the flesh
comfortable.
- As
raindrops. It starts to be seen and felt especially for one who is
in the temptation until the sadness because of being left by
someone he loves.
- As
showers. It refers to the revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain
or the one in the true teaching word to face the situation in the
last days, namely the double dryness up to the antichrist who
reigns over the world. We must receive the teaching word for sure.
How
great a man including the servant of God is, without the teaching
word he will experience the physical and spiritual dryness up to
perdition.
There
are two kinds of ground in the book of Hebrews chapter 6 as
follows:
-
Hard and stony ground,
so one cannot drink the rain of the true teaching Word.
Hebrews
6:8
6:8.
but if it bears thorns and briars, it is rejected and near to being
cursed, whose end is to be burned.
The
consequence is bearing the thorns. It refers to self-truth.
If
one rejects the true teaching word, he will surely have the
self-truth.
The self-truth means as follows:
- The
truth that is not in line with the word.
- Covering
sin by blaming at the righteous man and God or the teaching word.
Where
there is the self-truth, there will be bitterness, envy, hatred,
and revenge. The consequence is entering the curse or dryness
atmosphere. It is the same as weariness, labor, and heavy burdens
up to perdition in the hell forever.
-
The good or tender
ground that is able to drink and consume the rain of the true
teaching Word or hear and obey the true teaching word.
Hebrews
6:7
6:7.
For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it,
and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives
blessing from God;
As
a result, we experience the purification of heart, mind, deed, and
word. We can love one another; even we can love our enemy.
1
Peter 1:22
1:22.
Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the
Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently
with a pure heart,
A
holy man just does the good things. There is no hypocrisy moreover
evil deed. He does not repay evil for evil, but repays good for
evil.
The good ground is the base of the early rain and the
later rain.
Living in holiness and loving one another even
loving our enemy mean that we already have the base to receive
God's blessing, namely physical and spiritual blessing as well as
the one for our household, starting from the beginning of and
during the marriage.
Hebrews
6:7
6:7.
For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it,
and bears herbs useful
for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;
If
a husband is unjust and so is his wife, the marriage will be broken
and there is no rain of blessing.
- One
must be shepherded well and correctly.
Joel
2:22-23,28-29
2:22.
Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the
open pastures
are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the
vine yield their strength.
2:23.
Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the LORD your
God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will
cause the rain to come down for you--The
former rain, And the latter rain
in the first month.
2:28. "And it shall come to pass
afterward That I
will pour out My Spirit
on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old
men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.
2:29.
And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My
Spirit in those days.
The
requirements of being shepherded well and correctly are as follows:
- We
must be in the sheepfold or the Holy Place. It refers to the
perseverance in committing the three kinds of main service to God,
namely the general service, the bible study service, and the prayer
service.
- We
just hear and obey the voice of shepherd, the true shepherding
word, or the repeated true teaching word.
Out attitude to
other voice that is not in line with the bible or the advice from
true shepherd is that we must run away. Do not hear it!
- We
must follow the step of the Shepherd, namely the one of death,
resurrection, and glory.
That is why a good pastor must
sacrifice a lot, because Jesus as the Good Shepherd has given a
pattern until He sacrifices His life.
In
the sheepfold, we experience the rain of the true teaching word,
Holy Spirit, and the love of God.
Why does God give it in the
shepherding? Because He gives special gift to a shepherd, namely
discerning of spirits, so he has firmness about the following
things:
-
Discerning between the
true teaching and the false one.
That is why all ministers must
be shepherded.
As a result, God pours out the true teaching
word in the shepherding, so a shepherd can feed the congregation
with the true food so that they become strong to face the condition
in the last days. They can experience the spiritual growth up to
perfection.
The major measurement of good pastor is that he
feeds the congregation with the true food.
-
Discerning between the
true spirit and the false one, so God pours out Holy Spirit.
As
a result, the congregation experiences the anointing and fullness
of Holy Spirit, even it overflows in us until it becomes permanent
in our life.
Joel
2:28
2:28.
"And it shall come to pass afterward That I
will pour out My Spirit
on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old
men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.
The
functions of Holy Spirit are as follows:
-
Holy Spirit puts to
death the deeds of the body or sin. We do not sin but become
active in the spiritual thing, namely ministering to God until we
can worship Him.
Romans
8:13
8:13.
For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the
Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
-
Holy Spirit makes us
faithful and fervent in the ministry to God until the finish line,
namely our death or Jesus' second coming.
Romans
12:11
12:11.
not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
In
the shepherding, we can appear as the servant of God who is holy,
faithful, and fervent. It is the same as the servant of God who is
like the flame of fire.
Hebrews
1:7
1:7.
And of the angels He says: "Who makes His angels spirits And
His ministers a flame of fire."
The
servant of God who is like the flame of fire is fire resistant.
It
means as follows:
- Being
resistant to the fire of temptation, so one is not disappointed and
desperate.
- Being
resistant to the fire of lust, so one can follow the will of God.
- Being
resistant to the fire of sin, so one does not sin.
- Being
resistant to the fiery trial.
This
is the one who can endure until Jesus comes a second
time.
Revelation
1:14
1:14.
His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His
eyes like a flame of fire;
God's
eyes are like a flame of fire.
So,
the servant of God who is holy, faithful, and fervent is the same as
the apple of God's eye or one who is most beloved by God.
That is
why there is the rain of the love of God in the
shepherding.
Becoming
the apple of God's eye or being loved by Him means as follows:
-
God pours out His rain
of love, so we can love Him more than anything. We can come close
to God and unify with Him. We are not separated from God regardless
of anything that happens.
-
God protects us from
disaster until the antichrist reigns over the world.
Zechariah
2:7-8
2:7.
"Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of
Babylon."
2:8. For thus says the LORD of hosts: "He
sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who
touches you touches the apple of His eye.
We
are also protected from Babylon. We are always touched by God and
we touch Him, so we are used in the building of the perfect body of
Christ.
We place Jesus as the Head.
Let us minister in
holiness and faithfulness in the marriage and shepherding.
The
Lord Jesus is responsible for every step of our life. He willingly
dies and becomes the skull to be responsible for our life.
- We
must live in the system of Canaan.
Deuteronomy
11:11-15
11:11.
"but the land which you cross over to possess is a
land of hills and valleys,
which drinks water from the rain of heaven,
11:12.
"a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD
your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the
very end of the year.
11:13. ' And it shall be that if you
earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love
the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all
your soul,
11:14. 'then I will give you the rain for your land in
its season, the
early rain and the latter rain,
that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your
oil.
11:15. 'And I will send grass in your fields for your
livestock, that you may eat and be filled.'
The
system of Egypt is the flat ground that just relies on its own
power.
The system of Canaan is the one of valleys or death and
hills or resurrection. It is the same as the system of cross or
sprinkle of blood, namely suffering in the flesh without any sin or
because of Jesus.
For example, we suffer because of
righteousness, ministry to God, disease, being blamed although we
are not wrong, et
cetera.
When
we are sick because of sin, we must beg for forgiveness. But, being
sick without sin means the sprinkle of blood.
The sprinkle of
blood is God's mercy, because not everyone may experience it.
1
Peter 2:19
2:19.
For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one
endures grief, suffering wrongfully.
Why
does God allow us to experience the sprinkle of blood? To make us
receive the spirit of glory or the shekinah glory.
1
Peter 4:12-14
4:12.
Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is
to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
4:13.
but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings,
that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding
joy.
4:14. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed
are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their
part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
If
we receive the spirit of glory, we will experience the renewal of
life or the biggest miracle, namely we become the servant of God who
is obedient and faithful.
Deuteronomy
11:13
11:13.
' And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I
command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all
your heart and with all your soul,
'earnestly
obey My commandments which I command you'
is the same as being obedient.
'serve
Him with all your heart and with all your soul'
= being faithful.
Being obedient and faithful are the same as
stretching out our hands to God to attract His mercy. His eyes are
always on us. It means that He remembers, cares, understands, and
struggles to pour out the rain of mercy to all of us.
Deuteronomy
11:12
11:12.
"a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD
your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the
very end of the year.
The
results are as follows:
-
God's merciful hands
are able to protect and take care of us who are small and powerless
in the midst of the difficulties in the world until the antichrist
reigns over the world.
We never experience dryness, but
abundance, so we always give thank to God.
- God's
merciful hands are able to help and finish all impossible
problems.
Luke
7:13-15
7:13.
When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her,
"Do not weep."
7:14. Then He came and touched the open
coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, "Young
man, I say to you, arise."
7:15. So he who was dead sat up
and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.
The
dead becomes alive, the impossible thing becomes possible, and the
sick are healed.
The problems about marriage and children are
restored, so they can be one and happy again.
God also helps
our spiritual life.
Luke
22:61-62
22:61.
And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the
word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before the rooster
crows, you will deny Me three times."
22:62. So Peter went
out and wept bitterly.
When
Peter was not obedient and faithful anymore, Jesus did not look at
him anymore. But, when the rooster crowed, He looked at him again.
It was the sight of God's mercy to Peter.
Now, if we want to
confess our sin and leave it, and experience the sprinkle of blood,
His merciful hands will be able to lift us up to live in
righteousness and holiness.
Failure becomes success and
beauty in due time.
No matter our condition is, as long as
we have the tender heart, become shepherded, and experience the
sprinkle of blood, we can still receive God's mercy.
- We
will be changed to become as perfect as Jesus when He comes a
second time. God's mercy lifts us up to the clouds. We meet Him
forever.
No
matter our condition now, God still cares of us. The most important
is having tender heart, being shepherded, and experiencing the
sprinkle of blood.
God blesses us.
