Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 4:8a

4:8 Thefour living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within....

The four living creatures refer to the four personas who have been lifted up to heaven. They are Enoch, Moses, Elijah, and Jesus.
The four living creatures were full of eyes. It refers to the skillfully woven tunic of fine linen thread.

Exodus 28:39
28:39 "You shall skillfully weave the tunic of fine linen thread,you shall make the turban of fine linen, and you shall make the sash of woven work.

The tunic of fine linen thread refers to holiness.
The tunic is skillfully woven, so there are many holes or eyes, referring to the anointing of Holy Spirit.
Thus, we must have the clothing of holiness in the anointing of Holy Spirit, the clothing of glory, or the clean and bright fine linen.

How can we get the white and glistening clothing? We learn from Jesus who went up on the mountain to pray until His face changed and His clothe became white and glistening.

Luke 9:28-29
9:28 Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
9:29
As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe becamewhite andglistening.

The processes to have the white and glistening clothingare as follows:

  1. Experiencing the purification of the true teaching Word.
    Hebrews 4:12

    4:12 For the word of God isliving 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.

    We experience the purification of Word that starts from the heart and mind that are the store house of sin.

    Mark 7:21-22
    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.

    The evil and unclean heart and mind contain twelve wills of evil and uncleanness, as follows:

    1. Fornications.
    2. Thefts.
    3. Murders or hatred without a cause.
    4. Adulteries.
    5. Covetousness.
    6. Wickedness.
    7. Deceit.
    8. Lewdness.
    9. An evil eye.
    10. Blasphemy or justifying the false teaching and blaming the true one.
    11. Pride
    12. Foolishness. The meaning is that one cannot be corrected and advised through the true teaching Word and personal advice. Foolishness makes the heart die in sin until one enjoys in sinning.

    The result is that one cannot enter the fellowship of the perfect body of Christ or the peak of holiness and perfection, but the fellowship of the body of Babylon or the peak of evil and uncleanness.

    If the heart and minds are purified from the twelve wills of evil and uncleanness, the deed will be purified to be right, holy, and good. We can repay good for evil. We will not harm others.
    The saying also is purified to be right, holy, and good. It will not harm others. In such condition, we are wearing the skillfully woven tunic of fine linen thread like Jesus. We follow the example of Jesus who died on the cross with five wounds.

    1 Timothy 4:12
    4:12 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

    Then, we can be an example in saying, deed, faithfulness, and holiness for others. We illuminate others who are in darkness.

  2. [Luke 8:29] Worship prayer.
    The true teaching Word encourages us in true consecration of the service and ministry to God up to the true worship. On the contrary, the false teaching encourages in the false ministry up to the false worship.

    The worship prayer is the process of ripping of flesh so we experience the life renewal from carnal man to spiritual one like Jesus. It starts from the changing of five senses. This evening we learn from the changing of eye so our eye only sees Jesus who sits on the right side of the throne of Father God.

    The facts found in the eye that sees Godare as follows:

    1. Seeing the field or work of God, namely the service and ministry. It is the same as being the priest and king.
      John 4:34-35
      4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.
      4:35
      Do you not say, 'There are still four months and thencomes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

      Exodus 30:20-21
      30:20 When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die.
      30:21
      So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a statute forever to them--to him and his descendants throughout their generations."

      In the Old Testament, the priests must wash their hands and feet before serving God, or else they will die.

      Luke 3: 21, 23
      3:21 When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.
      3:23
      Now Jesus Himself began His ministry atabout thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) theson of Joseph, the sonof Heli,

      Jesus was baptized of water first before starting His work.

      Thus, the condition to serve God is repenting and entering the water baptism. The result of water baptism is the new life or the life in righteousness and being the instruments of righteousness, namely the priest and king.

      John 4:34
      4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

      After we become the priest and king, we must prioritize the ministry, be faithful and fervent, and obey the Word until the end line. It means giving food for Jesus or satisfying Him. Then God also will satisfy and care our life.

    2. Heeding the lovingkindness of God.
      Psalm 107:43
      107:43 Whoever iswise will observe these things,and they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.

      If we wear the skillfully woven tunic of fine linen thread, the eyes of God always see, care, and struggle for us.

      The results are as follows:

      1. God cares every step of our life.
        Job 31:4
        31:4 Does He not see my ways,and count all my steps?

        Because only one step between us and dead.

        We must walk in faith or the righteousness and holiness so the death cannot touch us. The great lovingkindness hands of God are able to care us from difficulties until the days of Antichrist. The hands of God lead us to the beautiful and successful future.

      2. God heeds the life that is ruined and decay.
        John 11:33-34, 39-40
        11:33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
        11:34
        And He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see."
        11:39
        Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been deadfour days."
        11:40
        Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"

        The life falls in sin up to the peak that is the sin of eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage. It also refers to the marriage and children that are ruined and full of tears and the life that faces the impossible problems. The decay thing is restored to be good, failure becomes success, and impossible thing becomes possible.

      3. God heeds man that is like a breath and unworthy.
        Psalm 144:3-4

        144:3 Lord, what isman, that You take knowledge of him?Orthe son of man, that You are mindful of him?
        144:4
        Man is like a breath;his days arelike a passing shadow.

        Psalm 8:4-5
        8:4 What is man that You are mindful of him,and the son of man that You visit him?
        8:5
        For You have made him a little lower than the angels,and You have crowned him with glory and honor.

        God changes us to become perfect as He is. We are lifted up on the glorious clouds up to the throne of heaven.

God blesses us.
