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

Revelation 21:11
21:11  having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

The city of the New Jerusalem is as follows:

  1. It has the glory of God.
  2. It lights like a most precious stone, like a jasper strone, clear as crystal.

It is the city that radiates the glory of God or the church of God, the bride who has the glory of Him.

Where do we get the glory of God?

Matthew 17:2
17:2  and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

We get it from the worship prayer. We see the face of Jesus that shines, so we receive the glory light of God.

The process of seeing the face of Jesus that shines like the sun is as follows:

  1. Seeing the mouth of Jesus of which a sharp two-edged sword or the Word went out.
    Revelation 1:16
    1:16  He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

    It means receiving the teaching Word that is sharper than any two-edged sword. We listen and obey the Word, so we experience the purification for whole life as follows:


    • The sword of Word thrusts the belly of heart.
      Judges 3:15-16,21-22
      3:15 But when the children of Israel cried out to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. By him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab.
      3:16 Now Ehud made himself a dagger (it was double-edged and a cubit in length) and fastened it under his clothes on his right thigh.
      3:21 Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.
      3:22 Even the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out.

      It purifies the heart that contains twelve wills of evil, uncleanness, and bitterness.

      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."

      Thus, the table of heart will be filled by twelve loaves that are arranged in two rows, six in a row = 66 books in Bible.


    • The sword in hand.
      Psalms 149:6
      149:6  Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,

      It purifies the sins up to the peak. As a result, there are good and holy deeds until repaying the evil with kindness.

    • [Psalms 149:6a] The mouth is purified from the vain words, namely lies, gossip, slander, and blasphemy. They are changed into the good and holy words, worshiping God, and testifying about the Good Word and the Bride Tidings or the loving mercy of God that has helped us. It means shining the glory of God.

      Then, we can live in holiness.

      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,

      We are equipped with the ministry = the hands of God in congregation. We are employed in the ministry of the building of the perfect body of Christ. It starts from marriage, shepherding, and inter-shepherding.

      If we minister solemnly and responsibly to God, His hands will work in congregation.


  2. Seeing the eyes of God that is like a flame of fire.
    Revelation 1:14
    1:14  His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;

    It means that we experience the anointing of Holy Spirit, so we can minister to God in faithfulness and fervency according to the ministry and the gift that God has entrusted to us until the end line. Our life becomes beautiful, orderly, and well-organized.

    We become the eyes of God. We are protected and cared until a grain of sand cannot enter us. Even though we face many temptations, our heart feels peace. Everything becomes easy and light.


  3. Seeing the countenance of Jesus that is like the sun shining in its strength.
    Revelation 1:16b
    1:16  ..., and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

    Matthew 17:2
    17:2  and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

    Then, we experience the power of life renewal. It starts from the honest heart.

    Genesis 19:21-24
    19:21 And he said to him, "See, I have favored you concerning this thing also, in that I will not overthrow this city for which you have spoken.
    19:22 "Hurry, escape there. For I cannot do anything until you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
    19:23 The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Zoar. 
    19:24 Then the LORD rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the LORD out of the heavens.

    There is power of protection and caring of God in the midst of difficulties in the world, the sins, the false teaching, and the impossible problems.

    Genesis 32:24,31
    32:24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. 
    32:31 Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip.

    There is also the power for defeating the death for saving our family.

    Genesis 32:28
    32:28 And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed."

    There is power of life renewal from Jacob (Jacob=deceiver) to Israel (Israel=winner, honest). We become the house of prayer and our prayer is answered by God. It continues until we become perfect and there is no stumble in words.

God blesses us.
