General Service in Malang, June 26, 2011 (Sunday Morning)
Taken
from delayed broadcast of fellowship in Germany
Theme:
"40"
In Holy Bible, number 40
has important meaning.
Forty means
the completion of the flesh with all its want, emotion, and desire.
The examples are as follows:
-
In Old Testament, Musa
fasted for forty days and forty nights, and then he could meet God
and receive two tablets of stone and the Tabernacle.
- In New Testament, Jesus
fasted forty days and forty nights, and then
Jesus won over Satan and all temptations.
Thus,
forty is the completion of flesh with all its emotion, want, and
desire.
If we want to crucify the
flesh, we will meet God (as Moses) and will never be touched or
beaten by Satan.
Deuteronomy
34:6-7
34:6 And He buried him in a valley in the
land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this
day.
34:7 Moses was
one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim
nor his natural vigor diminished.
Moses
was one hundred and twenty years old when he died.
No
one knows his grave to this day. It means that Moses was raised by
God and his body was lifted to the Heaven.
120
years = 3 x 40 years.
There
are three stages of Moses' life as follows:
-
40 years at Egypt.
-
40 years at Midian.
-
40 years at the dessert.
Thus,
throughout his life Moses experienced the completion of flesh (number
"40"), until Moses was appeared in glory and perfection with God.
Let us all also experience the
completion/ crucifixion of flesh, until sometime we will be appeared
in glorious body with God in His second coming.
How
is life who experiences the crucifixion of flesh?
We
will learn from Moses' life.
THE
DAILY PRACTICES OF EXPERIENCING CRUCIFIXION OF FLESH ARE AS FOLLOWS:
-
Moses was
40 years at Egypt =
the growth period.
Acts
7:20-23
7:20 At this time Moses was born, and was
well pleasing to God; and he was brought up in his father's house
for three months.
7:21 But
when he was set out, Pharaoh's daughter took him away and brought
him up as her own son.
7:22 And
Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty
in words and deeds.
7:23 "Now
when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his
brethren, the children of Israel.
Moses
had physical and spiritual growth.
All
of us also have physical and spiritual growth.
Verse
22: In his physical growth, Moses learnt the
wisdom of the world in Egypt.
We also
experience physical growth, as going to school, working, getting
married, and so forth.
But, we
must also have spiritual growth. How is spiritual growth?
Hebrews
11:24-26
11:24 By faith Moses, when he became of
age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
11:25
choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people
of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,
11:26
esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than
the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
Spiritual
growth is
being released from the effect of the
flesh with all its desire (Pharaoh's
daughter), the effect of the
world (Egypt),
and the
effect of sins.
Spiritual growth is not seen from
how long we have become a Christian,
but from the freedom of the effect of the flesh, world, and sins.
Flesh, world, and sins make us
live as dog and sow.
-
A dog returns to his own vomit points to sinful
words.
-
A sow, having washed, returns to her wallowing
in the mire points to repeated sinful deeds.
The flesh, world, and sins make our life as
dog and sow in repeated sinful words and deeds.
Spiritual
growth (spiritual matureness) is we
must be set free from all those things,
such that we can live in
righteousness, there is nothing
wrong/ sins, whether individually, in
household, school, or at work, etc.
All
our life aspects must be right.
That is a spiritually matured
life and experiencing the completion of flesh.
Psalm
37:25-26
37:25 I have been young, and now
am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his
descendants begging bread.
37:26 He
is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are
blessed.
If we live in righteousness,
God will bless us to our descendants,
and even we will be used by God to become blessings to the
others.
The
main inheritance to our descendants is inheritance
of righteousness, which contains God's
guarantee to our life and descendants, even to eternal life.
-
Moses was
40 years at
Midian = the shepherding
period.
Acts
7:30-34
7:30. "And when forty years had passed,
an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush,
in the wilderness of Mount Sinai.
7:31
When Moses saw it, he marveled at the
sight; and as he drew near to observe, the voice of the Lord came to
him,
7:32 saying,
'I am the God of your
fathers--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob.' And Moses trembled and dared not look.
7:33
'Then the LORD said to him, "Take your sandals off
your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
7:34 I have surely
seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt; I have
heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. And now
come, I will send you to Egypt."'
Moses
was tending the flock of Jethro, his father in law, until he saw a
flame of fire in a bush.
A bush is
made of wood, but it was not burnt. It was a marvelous sight.
Formerly we were as dog and sow
who live in sins, but we have been redeemed and become sheep who
live in righteousness.
People who live
in righteousness are equal to sheep.
People
who live in sins equals to dog and sow.
What
is needed by sheep? Maybe you will answer
that they need grass.
But in dry
season, sheep will not be able to live because they cannot get grass
in dry season.
The most
need of sheep is a shepherd.
Even
though a sheep is facing drought, a shepherd is able to provide all
sheep's needs.
Therefore, all
of us must be shepherded.
Starting from a pastor must be shepherded,
also sheep must be shepherded.
If
we are not shepherded, we are going to be wild as dog and sow
(living in sins).
Where must we
be shepherded?
A branch
must abide in the true vine.
The true
vine is Jesus, the true teaching Word.
We
must be shepherded in the true
teaching Word.
There are two types of preaching the
Word as follows:
-
Gospel Word, which
preaches Jesus' first coming to the world to redeem human from
sins. (Gospel Word is also called as "milk" or "cold water".)
Gospel Word is preached to bring
sinful man to Jesus and be saved.
-
Teaching Word
(a flame of fire in a bush).
Jeremiah
23:29
23:29 " Is not My word like
a fire?" says the LORD, " And like a hammer that
breaks the rock in pieces?
Teaching
Word is as sharp sword which is sharper than any two-edged sword.
Hebrews
4:12
4:12 For the word of God is
living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing
even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Why
do we need the true teaching Word?
The
true teaching Word (a flame of fire, a sharp sword) is to
purify us, starting from our heart and mind.
People's
heart and mind are the store of sins, the store of all evil and
unclean desire.
If people's heart
and mind are filled with evil and unclean desire, their words and
deeds are sins.
Mark 7:21-23
7:21 For
from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders,
7:22
thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an
evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
7:23
All these evil things come from within and defile a
man."
All
the things inside the heart and mind are divided into two as
follows:
-
Evil desire, which equals to the desire of
money, loving money.
The appearances are as follows:
-
Getting money in illegal way (by corruption,
etc.).
-
Looking for money until cannot serve and
minister God (until leaving ministry to God).
-
Being stingy= cannot give.
-
Being greedy = robbing the others' rights,
including God's rights (tithe and
special offering).
All these matters must be purified by the
Word of God!
-
Unclean desire = eating drinking sin and
marrying-being given sin.
The appearances are as
follows:
-
Eating drinking sin: smoking, getting drunk,
gambling, consuming drugs, etc.
-
Marrying-being given sin: sexuality sin with
all its variety, homosexual, lesbian, including wrong marriage, up
to marrying divorcing and marrying-being given.
All of these also must be purified!
A bush in a flame of fire is not burnt means
flesh man who is purified by the true teaching Word (a flame of
fire, a two-edged sharp sword) will not be destroyed but becoming
holy and holier, until sometime becoming perfect and blameless as
Jesus.
In shepherding, we find a
flame of teaching Word fire which purifies us.
-
Moses was 40 years in the
wilderness = the
sending period.
Acts
7:35-36
7:35 "This Moses whom they rejected,
saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?' is the
one God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand
of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush.
7:36
He brought them out, after he had shown wonders and
signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the
wilderness forty years.
Moses
was sent by God to bring Israelites went out from the land of Egypt.
At that time, Israelites was in a
great out movement from the land of Egypt to Canaan.
For
us now, the Israelites' movement denotes the movement of Holy
Spirit in the last rain.
The
movement of Holy Spirit in the last rain equals to the movement of
building perfect body of Christ, preparing us to be able to welcome
Jesus second coming in perfection.
Jesus
as the Head will come for the second time
to unite His body.
Now, we must be in the revival
of building perfect body of Christ. It equals to we have to serve
the building of perfect body of Christ.
The
body of Christ is started from our marriage, church/ shepherding,
between shepherding, until the international body of Christ
(Israelites and Gentiles become one perfect body) and Jesus will
come soon for the second time.
Thus,
we have to serve in the revival of building body of Christ.
Ephesians
4:11-12
4:11 And He Himself gave some to be
apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and
teachers,
4:12 for
the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ,
The
requirements for serving the building body of Christ are as follows:
-
Holiness,
not richness/ smartness/ position, etc (verse
12).
Thus, if we want to enter the
body of Christ, starting from marriage must be holy, serving in the
church must be holy, serving in fellowship between shepherding must
be holy, until the perfect body of Christ is formed.
-
Must have ministry (verse
11).
As hands and feet each have place in the
body.
In the body of Christ there is
ministry for apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers,
also musicians, singers, prayer team, etc.
Ministry
must be done faithfully, as
we are faithful in position in this world.
Ministry
is our place in the body of Christ.
Why do we have to serve th e building body of
Christ?
If we do not serve the
building body of Christ, we will enter the building body of Babel.
The building body of Christ is
holiness until perfection, and we can welcome Jesus' second
coming.
The building of Babel is
uncleanness, evil, and will lead to the hell.
Let
us all use our life to serve the building body of Christ.
To
enter the building body of Christ, sacrifice
will be needed.
Everything must be sacrificed for
the building body of Christ (money, time, energy, thought, etc).
John 2:19-21
2:19
Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and
in three days I will raise it up."
2:20
Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to
build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"
2:21
But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
Jesus
himself sacrificed His soul for the
building body of Christ.
(Three days denote Jesus' death
and rising.)
Everything must
be sacrificed for the building body of Christ, and
everything will not be comparable to the sacrifice of Christ.
Except one, the
true teaching Word must not be sacrificed!
The
true teaching Word is Jesus himself, and it must not be sacrificed.
In the building body of
Christ we also experience obstacles as
being experienced by Moses. One of them is the Red Sea.
The
Red Sea with Pharaoh who was chasing means as follows:
-
Something which makes us scared and worry.
Forty years old for woman who has not
get married yet is a scary thing.
Forty
years old for married woman is also a scary thing since she will
face menopause period.
For man, there
is also scary thing as job problem, etc.
-
Something which makes us hopeless and
disappointed.
-
Something which makes us sad and cry.
-
Something which makes us fall, that is the sins.
-
Something which is impossible (the sea ahead and
Pharaoh behind).
Exodus 14:15-16
14:15.
And the LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry to Me? Tell the
children of Israel to go forward.
14:16
But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over
the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry
ground through the midst of the sea.
The
condition of Israelites at that time was crying to God. It means as
follows:
-
Grumbling, mumbling.
-
Being noisy and panic.
-
Putting hope on the others and not on God.
These are the flesh which has to be
crucified!
The flesh must be
crucified such that we can stretch out our hands to God.
The way out which is outside man's
mind is facing the Kolsom Sea just by stretching out the hands to
God.
Although this is outside human's
logic, this is God's command (God's Word) and must be practiced!
If God let us experience
obstacles, God wants us to be able to stretch out our hands, that is
only putting our hope on God,
believing and fully surrendering ourselves to God.
God's
merciful hands will also be stretched out to us, and miracles
will happen.
A
strong east wind blew (=God's merciful hands are stretched out to
us) such that Kolsom Sea was divided and Israelites could walk on
dry ground.
-
Physical miracles are as follows:
-
God's merciful hands are able to make
possible the impossible things.
-
God's merciful hands give beautiful future.
Israelites were not dead but able to reach the land of Canaan.
-
Spiritual miracles must also happen in our
lives,
that is the renewal of life from
flesh man to spiritual man as Jesus.
Physical
miracles can be imitated/ falsified by Satan, but spiritual
miracles cannot be imitated, that is the renewal of life.
In
the extension of our life, we must experience renewal of life
continually from flesh men to become spiritual men as Jesus.
Ephesians
4:23-25
4:23 and be renewed in the spirit of your
mind,
4:24 and that you
put on the new man which was created according to God, in true
righteousness and holiness.
4:25
Therefore, putting away lying, " Let
each one of you speak truth with
his neighbor," for we are members of one another.
The
proof of a new man is there is no lying.
As
long as a pastor is lying, a son of God is lying, in whatever, it
means that they have not experienced renewal of life.
Not
lying = renewal of life, the greatest miracle.
Let the extension of our life is marked with
miraculous steps, a renewal of life spiritually and God's help
physically.
Miracles happen by God's
merciful and gracious hands.
Until
the last miracles, on Jesus' second
coming we will be renewed to become as perfect as or as glorious as
Jesus himself, and we will be lifted on the glorious clouds.
Philippians
3:20-21
3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from
which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
3:21 who will transform
our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body,
according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all
things to Himself.
A ceremony is not
just entering and leaving the church, but we must experience a
renewal of life (the greatest miracle), starting from there is no
lying, until sometime we will be renewed as perfect as God.
Let
us be inside God's gracious hands and experience God's miracles.
Summary:
-
Moses was 40 years at
Egypt = spiritual growth.
We live in
righteousness. God guarantees the righteous life to their
descendants.
-
Moses was 40 year at
Midian = being shepherded.
After
we are lifted by God from being as dog and sow to being the sheep,
we must be shepherded.
In a
shepherding, we are purified until we are blameless (there is no
sin).
-
Moses was 40 years in
the wilderness = the sending period.
After being purified, we will be used
in the ministry of building body of Christ.
We
are facing many obstacles, but if we stretch out our hands to God,
God will also stretch out His gracious hands to us.
The
results are physical and spiritual miracles, up to the last miracle,
that is on Jesus' second coming, we are renewed as glorious as God
and will be lifted up together with Him.
God blesses us.
