Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation7:13-15a
7:13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?"
7:14 And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
7:15 "Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple...
Who are those arrayed in the white robes and standing before the throne and serving God day and night?
Those are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood or experienced the ministry of the reconciliation of the High Priest.
In the Old Testament, the High Priest or Aaron entered the Most Holy Place once in a year to do the ministry of reconciliation by bringing blood and incense. The High Priest sprinkled the blood seven times upon and before the Ark of Covenant. Thus, Shekinah glory or the glory of God came and the deliverance from the sins of Israel happened.
In the New Testament, Jesus entered the holy place or the throne of heaven once forever and brought His blood and incense or the intercession prayer. Thus, Shekinah glory or the glory of God came and the deliverance from the sins of all people in the world happened.
We must experience the sprinkling of blood together with Jesus, so we get the ministry of reconciliation of the High Priest. It means experiencing the flesh suffering without sin together with Jesus. When we face the sprinkling of blood, we have to pray and worship God a lot, so we will neither be disappointed and desperate nor leave God.
We experience the ministry of reconciliation from the High Priest, so the Holy Spirit will be poured upon us.
There are three ministries of the High Priest and the resultsas follows:
God blesses us.

There are three ministries of the High Priest and the resultsas follows:
- Jesus went out to the mountain and prayed to call and elect the disciples.
Luke6:12-13,16
6:12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
6:13 And when it was day, He calledHis disciples to Himself; and from them He chosetwelve whom He also named apostles:
6:16 Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.
Going to the mountain refers to the sprinkling of blood. Praying refers to the incense.
If there are blood and incense, the Holy or Glory Spirit will be poured upon us.
The results areas follows:- Holy Spirit helps us to receive the calling and electing of God as the King of kings and High Priest, so we can be the king and priest according to the ministry that He gives.
Without Holy Spirit, we cannot be priest and king who serve God. It is because the flesh will refuse the calling and electing of God with any reasons. - Holy Spirit gives an extra strength, so we will not become a traitor.
Treachery starts from ministering God unfaithfully up to leaving the ministry because of the physical things such as feeling that is ashamed or wants to honor other that is ashamed or wants to honor other people, getting money, looking for mate, et cetera.
Treachery refers to stumbling in the calling and electing because of the hard heart. The biggest stumbling is our selves because of keeping or supporting something that is wrong. Judas Iscariot hardened his heart and kept the sin, so he stumbled because of himself. He became a traitor. The hard heart is the same as a stone. If one keeps the hard heart, he will become a stumbling-block and fall.
As a result, one will hang himself, fall headlong, and burst open in the middle. It spiritually means the spiritual dryness. One's life is uncertain in doubt, curse, up to perdition.
As the priests and kings or the servants of God, we must keep our heart, so we will not become a traitor like Judas Iscariot. Judas Iscariot was shepherded by Jesus, but he betrayed Him. Being traitor does not depend on the matter of who is the shepherd, but the heart itself. - Holy Spirit makes us strong in the calling and election. It refers to being faithful and fervent in doing the ministry until the end line. We are employed in the building of the perfect body of Christ. It starts from marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding, up to the perfect body of Christ. It continues until we stand before the throne of heaven and we are worthy to serve God day and night.
2 Peter1:10-11
1:10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
1:11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
- Holy Spirit helps us to receive the calling and electing of God as the King of kings and High Priest, so we can be the king and priest according to the ministry that He gives.
- Jesus went up on the mountain to pray.
Matthew14:23-25,29-32
14:23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.
14:24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
14:25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
14:29 So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
14:30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"
14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
14:32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
"Went up on the mountain"refers to the blood.
"Pray"refers to the incense.
The blood and incense will result in the Glory Spirit.
Jesus had the human body at that time, but He walked on the sea. It refers to the power of Glory Spirit.
We get the Glory Spirit for facing two things as follows:- The raging sea is changed into the calm one. Holy Spirit is able to finish all impossible problems, so we feel peaceful, easy, and light.
- Holy Spirit was able to lift up Peter, who began to sink because of the doubt to God or the true teaching Word and Its power. One who is doubtful will never feel peaceful life and he gets nothing.
Holy Spirit lifts up us from falling, sinking, and failure physically and spiritually. Everything is restored by God to become successful and beautiful.
- The raging sea is changed into the calm one. Holy Spirit is able to finish all impossible problems, so we feel peaceful, easy, and light.
- Holy Spirit is able to change us from carnal man to spiritual one, up to being perfect like Jesus. This is the spiritual or biggest miracle.
Luke9:28-29
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 became white and glistening.
Changing refers to bearing fruit, namely having the fruits of Spirit in the life.
Galatians5:22-23
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
5:23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
We are returned in the image of the Trinity of God as follows:- "Love, joy, peace"are the image of Father God.
- "Longsuffering, kindness, goodness"are the image of the Son of God.
- "Faithfulness,gentleness, self-control"are the image of Holy Spirit God.
1 Kings17:12-13
17:12 So she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
17:13 And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son.
1 Kings17:15-16.
17:15 So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days.
17:16 The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke by Elijah.
The widow of Zarephat was honest and obedient to the word, so the miracle happened. Nothing could be something.
1 Kings17:17
17:17 Now it happened after these things that the son of the woman who owned the house became sick. And his sickness was so serious that there was no breath left in him.
1 Kings17:23
17:23 And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your son lives!"
Although we must face a test, if we are stillhonest and obedient, the miracle will happen.
Being honest and obedient is the same as stretching out our hands to God. As a result, the hands of Holy Spirit are stretched out to make the miracle. Something that does not exist yet can be created and the dead can be raised. The last miracle is that Holy Spirit changes us to become as perfect as Jesus is. We are worthy to stand before the throne of heaven to serve God day and night. We belong to God forever. - "Love, joy, peace"are the image of Father God.
God blesses us.
