(To Coincide with Fasting Prayer Service Session III)
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 5:1
5:1 And I saw in the right handof Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
The scroll in the right hand of God is the Holy Bible that we have in this world. It is the revealed Word through the servants of God who are employed and trusted by God. There are two conditions of the scroll as follows:
Proverbs 29:18
29:18 Where there isno revelation, the people cast off restraint;But happy ishe who keeps the law.
If there is no revelation from God, the congregation casts off restraint or becomes wild. The meanings are as follows:
God blesses us.
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 5:1
5:1 And I saw in the right handof Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
The scroll in the right hand of God is the Holy Bible that we have in this world. It is the revealed Word through the servants of God who are employed and trusted by God. There are two conditions of the scroll as follows:
- It is written inside and on the back. It means that the Word of God is able to purify us outside and inside (our heart), and our whole life until we become perfect like God.
- It is sealed with seven seals. It means that the secret is not revealed. There is no revelation from God.
Proverbs 29:18
29:18 Where there isno revelation, the people cast off restraint;But happy ishe who keeps the law.
If there is no revelation from God, the congregation casts off restraint or becomes wild. The meanings are as follows:
- The congregation appears like a horse that casts off restraint. They are like goat, dog, and sow that live in the ambience of curse up to perdition.
- The congregation appears like a man with an unclean and evil spirit in Gadarenes or the crazy one.
Mark 5:1-5
5:1 Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.
5:2 And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
5:3 who had hisdwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains,
5:4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him.
5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
His dwelling is among the tombs. It refers to the place that is controlled by the evil and unclean spirit that puts to death our spirituality. For example, casinos, bawdy house, movie theatre, pornography, bad society, the wrong fellowship, et cetera. It makes the spirituality wither and we are not in passion anymore for the spiritual things. It makes us fall in sin up to the peak that is the sin of eating-drinking (smoking, getting drunk, drugs abuse) and marrying-being given in marriage. We enjoy in sinning. The result is we enter the ambience of curse up to perdition.
The signs of one who is wild, insane, or mentally unhealthyare as follows:- He cannot stay at home. It means that he is separated from his family. There is no good connection with others. There is envy, hatred, and no friendliness. He is also separated from God.
- He cannot be tamed. It means that he cannot be organized and advised.
- He goes everywhere. It means that he is not shepherded and he listen another voice that is not according the shepherding Word.
- He cries out. It means that he is not satisfied, there is no rest, and he always grumbles, gossips, slanders, and blasphemes.
- He cuts himself with stone. It means that he destroys himself or the temple of God. The mind and heart are corrupt.
2 Timothy 3:5, 8
3:5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith;
The fact found in destroying oneself is doing the uncleanness sin.
Proverbs 6:32
6:32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding;He whodoes so destroys his own soul.
We must follow the experience of death and resurrection together with Jesus. It starts from the water baptism. One who dies from sin must be buried in water together with Jesus and rise together with Him to receive the new life, namely the heavenly one in righteousness. It means that our mind is right.
Mark 5:15
5:15 Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had beendemon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.
The man is not naked anymore. He wears the clothes of righteousness and becomes the weapon of righteousness. He also wears the clothes of ministry to serve to God according to the ministry that is trusted by Him.
He sits means perseverance in three main services and obedience until the flesh does not sound anymore. It is like stretching out our hands to God.
1 Peter 5:5-6
5:5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to yourelders. Yes, all of yoube submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud,but gives grace to the humble."
5:6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
The hands of God will be stretched out to lift up us. His hands care us miraculously in the midst of difficulties of the world. He helps us to finish all impossible problems in time. The hands of God make everything successful and beautiful in time. His hands employ us in the revival of the Holy Spirit at the last rain or the building of the body of Christ. We are perfected like Jesus to greet His second coming on the glorious clouds. - He cannot stay at home. It means that he is separated from his family. There is no good connection with others. There is envy, hatred, and no friendliness. He is also separated from God.
God blesses us.
