Matthew25:8-13
25:8 And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
25:9 But the wise answered, saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
25:11"Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!'25:12 But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.'
25:13 "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
The Church of the Lord is likened to ten virgins, who will be separated into 2 groups as follows:
Wise virgins face an opened door such that they will enter the marriage supper of the Lamb. [Matthew 25:10].
Foolish virgin face a closed door such that they will enter the great feast of slaughter/perdition [Matthew 25:11].
The conclusion is the Church of the Lord must always be watchful (=shutting the door) such that we will receive an opened door.
Matthew6:6
6:6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you haveshut your door,pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Being watchful by shutting the door means:
2 Kings4:1-7
4:1. A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves."
4:2 So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil."
4:3 Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4:4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones."
4:5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 4:6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel."
And he said to her, "There is not another vessel." So the oil ceased.4:7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest."
The overflowed Holy Spirit is used to pay the debt, which denotes the things that have not been straightened.
The Holy Spirit will straighten everything, i.e.:

The Church of the Lord is likened to ten virgins, who will be separated into 2 groups as follows:
- Five wise virgins = the Church of the Lord who always watches and be ready = having the oil for supply such that the lamps keep on burning continually. The Church is able to welcome Jesus'second coming.
- Five foolish virgins = the Church of the Lord who does not watch = having no oil for supply such that the lamps are almost quenched even already quenched. The Church will be left on Jesus'second coming and being perished forever.
Wise virgins face an opened door such that they will enter the marriage supper of the Lamb. [Matthew 25:10].
Foolish virgin face a closed door such that they will enter the great feast of slaughter/perdition [Matthew 25:11].
The conclusion is the Church of the Lord must always be watchful (=shutting the door) such that we will receive an opened door.
Matthew6:6
6:6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you haveshut your door,pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Being watchful by shutting the door means:
- A worship prayer is a private relationship (heart to heart) with God = a love relationship with God.
The practice is liking to worship God, not feeling forced to worship God.
Do not feel forced to worship God, otherwise during the age of antichrist he will be forced to worship antichrist. - A worship prayer is not influenced by the world = being faithful/ diligent in a worship prayer.
James4:4
4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. - A worship prayer is not influenced by sins= a worship prayer which is said in right and pure life.
- A worship prayer is not influenced by flesh with all its desire and lust= a worship prayer with obedience.
Romans8:7
8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
2 Kings4:1-7
4:1. A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves."

The overflowed Holy Spirit is used to pay the debt, which denotes the things that have not been straightened.
The Holy Spirit will straighten everything, i.e.:
- Physical problems (financial, illness, etc).
The Holy Spirit will open a way out door from all the problems until the impossible ones.
Do not use our strength ourselves, because we will not be able to solve the problems! Better shutting the door more! - Marriage and children problems.
Marriage and children is frequently made as the slave of sins until the peak of sins, i.e. sexual sins and eating-drinking sins.
The Holy Spirit will open a joyful marriage door. - Straightening the lamps such that the lamps will keep on burning continually = straightening sins until the peak of sins, such that we can realize, regret, and confess the sins.
Matthew25:7
25:7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
The more straightened sins, the more anointing oil will overflow, such that we will have the oil for supply.
The result is an opening door of the marriage supper of the Lamb, door of the Paradise, until door of the Heaven.
