General Service in Malang, December 04, 2011 (Sunday Morning)
Matthew 26:36-46 is about GETHSEMANE.
Matthew 26:36-39, 41
26:36. Then Jesus
came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the
disciples, "Sit here while I go and pray over there."
26:37
And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began
to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
26:38 Then He said to
them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here
and watch with Me."
26:39 He went a little farther and fell on
His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let
this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will."
26:41 Watch
and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is
willing, but the flesh is weak."
At
Gethsemane, Jesus experienced flesh pressing (flesh suffering
without any sins, the sprinkling of blood).
Jesus is the
Head, and we are His body.
Thus, we will also experience Jesus'
experiences.
In the last days, followers of Jesus will also
experience Gethsemane in the form of flesh suffering to be able
to minister God, flesh suffering because of hatred without any cause,
being slandered, etc.
All these flesh sufferings cannot be
tackled by everything from this world, that is richness, smartness,
having high position, etc., but they can only be tackled by
watching and praying (struggling).
In this
world we know the quote 'praying and working' (ora et labora). It
is not wrong, but it must be increased to watching and praying, to be
able to face the ambience of Gethsemane.
There are three
levels of watching and praying as follows:
- Request
prayer = the Court of Tabernacle.
Matius
26:36
26:36. Then Jesus came with them to a place
called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, "Sit here while I go
and pray over there."
It is represented by eight
disciples who were sitting.
(Jesus had 12 disciples; Judas
Iscariot had gone, three other disciples were going together with
Jesus.)
The central of request prayer
is our needs.
The requirement is the Word of
God must be inside our heart, such that our prayer request is
according to God's will (not our will). Thus, God will answer our
prayer.
John 15:7
15:7 If you abide in
Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it
shall be done for you.
If our prayer is not according to
God's will, it will never be answered by God, since it will harm
us, especially spiritually, until we can loose our salvation.
If
we pray with desire, Satan can take over and give everything (Satan
will answer our prayer, not God), and the direction is spiritual
destruction (we loose salvation).
Spiritual condition of
life who only lifts up request prayer equals to the people who only
sit (passive life).
It
means as follows:
- When there is
no need and everything is good, he will become slack, not watch and
pray.
- As Bartimaeus
who is blind.
This kind of life will get what is requested, but
his spiritual life is blind (dark) and he does not know the way to
the Heaven. He will stumble, be lost, and perished forever.
Remember!
The
first group was followed by most disciples. We must go up to the
next level.
- Worship
prayer = entering the Holy Place (Golden Altar of Incense).
Matthew 26:37-38
26:37 And He took with Him Peter
and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply
distressed.
26:38 Then He said to them, "My soul is
exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me."
It is represented by three disciples who were taken by Jesus
to pray.
The central is Jesus himself.
It
means that we can worship God whenever, wherever, in any situations
and conditions.
Worship prayer is an active prayer.
It means as follows:
- We give all
praises, honors, and majesty only to God, until we can give/ submit
our whole life to God.
- Worship prayer
equals to ascending into the hill of the Lord (hill of holiness).
The term "ascending into the hill" denotes flesh
suffering, spiritual struggling with God. That is why many
Christians do not like to worship God.
We have to watch
and pray more!
The requirement is holiness.
Psalm 24:3-5
24:3. Who may ascend into
the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy
place?
24:4 He who has clean hands and a pure
heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor
sworn deceitfully.
24:5 He shall receive blessing
from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his
salvation.
- Starting from
our heart must be clean and pure. There should be neither evil
desire (loving money) nor unclean desire, including envy, hatred,
malice, bitterness, etc.
(Heart is the control. If heart is
pure and clean, our whole life will be pure).
- Pure deeds.
- Lips/ words
must be pure, there should be no more lies.
Holiness can be got
through the work of true teaching Word which is sharper than any
two-edged sword.
If
holiness declines, ministry and worship will become something which
is very heavy, tiresome, even we are feel forced doing that.
In
the other way, if holiness increases, ministry and worship
will also increase and become our indulgence.
The
result is we experience the rain of blessing from God,
physical and spiritual blessings will be poured out by God.
Spiritual blessing is the Word, renewal of life, and Heavenly
joy.
We are renewed to spiritual direction, from flesh man
(clay pot) to become spiritual man (golden pot).
If water has
been changed to wine, we will taste Heavenly joy.
After
experiencing physical and spiritual rain of blessing, we must not
become a marsh (being egoistic)!
Marsh is a place of salt
heap (heap of sins).
An egoistic life will lead to the building
of Babel that will be perished forever.
Isalah
14:23
14:23 " I will also make it a possession
for the porcupine, And marshes of muddy water; I will sweep it with
the broom of destruction," says the LORD of hosts.
Ezekiel
47:11
47:11 But its swamps and marshes will not be
healed; they will be given over to salt.
We must drain
God's blessings to the others,
that is by testifying, and joining the ministry of building body of
Christ.
The ministry of building body of Christ is started from
marriage, shepherding, and fellowship between shepherding, until the
perfect body of Christ is formed.
Our task is to become a
witness, not a follower.
We have to drain God's blessings such
that the Salt Sea (life which dies in sins) can be healed (Ezekiel
47:8-9).
If we drain God's blessings, it equals to
entering the year of revival, and we will become the heap of
God's love.
Do
not be egoistic!
An egoistic life is a goat, and he will be
separated!
- The
prayer of Jesus as the High Priest = the Most Holy Place.
Matthew 26:39, 42, 44
26:39 He went a little
farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if
it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I
will, but as You will."
26:42 Again,
a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if
this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be
done."
26:44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the
third time, saying the same words.
It is represented by
Jesus Himself.
The prayer of High Priest is a prayer that is
accompanied by full flesh suffering. It equals to the veil is torn,
such that the Most Holy Place can be seen.
The process of
flesh suffering is gradually, little by little, until the flesh does
not sound anymore. Jesus himself prayed three times.
What
is the flesh that must be torn?
- Sadness.
Jesus
was in sadness since He as the righteous must receive injustice.
Sadness frequently makes us disappointed and desperate.
If
sadness is torn apart, we will not grumble or murmur, we will
always be grateful to God.
- Deep
distress.
Jesus
was afraid to face the cross. It proves that Jesus is one hundred
percent flesh man, but He does not do any sins.
Jesus bore
heavier burdens than us.
We are flesh men, who are proper to be
punished.
Fear of something makes us not fear of God,
against God, against the Word.
If we are always afraid to
sacrifice, at last we will sacrifice God.
If fear is torn
apart, we will have fear of the Lord.
Proverbs 8:13
8:13 The fear of the
LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the
evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.
Fear of the Lord
is to hate sins, until hate lies, whatever we have to sacrifice.
In righteousness, we must keep going on!
On the contrary,
if we are against righteousness (against God), we must step back
immediately!
-
Flesh desire or flesh will.
Matthew
26:39
26:39 He went a little farther and fell on His
face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let
this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You
will."
James 1:13
1:13.
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God";
for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt
anyone.
Flesh desire always contradicts with the will of
God.
Flesh desire and flesh will attract us, and then drag us
to walk out of the true teaching Word (not being obedient), until
fall into temptation.
After falling into temptation, flesh man
even wants to solve it by doing sins.
If within the
household or shepherding there is still one person who holds on the
true teaching Word, God is still able to help, and he can withdraw
the others to come back to God.
If all people do sins, walk out
of true teaching Word, everything will go to destruction.
The
example is since God remembered Abraham, Lot's family were saved
from Sodom-Gomorrah, although his wife could not be helped anymore.
Do not play with sins!
If we already know that it is
sin, we should not say "just once"! Sins have attraction and
pulling out power that will take us to perdition.
If flesh
desire has been torn apart, we can become OBEDIENT until the
flesh does not sound anymore.
Romans
8:15
8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of
bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by
whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
Let the Holy Spirit
anoint us such that we can always be obedient.
The
usefulness of the anointing oil of Holy Spirit:
- Holy Spirit
gives us life.
John 6:63
6:63 It is the Spirit who
gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to
you are spirit, and they are life.
Do not
rely on diploma, richness, etc.!
Holy Spirit determines our
life physically and spiritually (we can live in righteousness and
holiness).
- Holy Spirit
is able to solve all our problems.
Judges 14:6
14:6 And the Spirit of the
LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one
would have torn apart a young goat, though he had
nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother
what he had done.
Impossible problem or temptation (as
facing lion) will be solved as facing a young goat.
Lion
also denotes false teachings.
With the anointing of Holy
Spirit, we can know the deceiver and we will not be pounced by
false teachings.
- Holy Spirit
renews us from flesh man to become spiritual man, starting from the
heart of dove, that is a sincere heart.
(After being baptized, Holy Spirit descended in bodily form
like a dove upon Jesus).
Titus 3:5
3:5 not
by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His
mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing
of the Holy Spirit,
A sincere heart does not take side
on anyone, only take God's side.
We can sincerely confess
(let "yes" be "yes", and "no" be "no"), without
"but ...", "however ...", etc. God is able to erase all
impossibilities until we will be renewed as perfect as Him.
God blesses us.
