(To Coincide with Fasting Prayer Service Session III)

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

Revelation chapter 3 is about the purification to the three congregations at the last days, as follows:

  1. The church in Sardis, in experiencing the death.
    Revelation 3:1

    3:1 "And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, 'These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.

  2. The church in Philadelphia, in experiencing the rise.
    Revelation 3:7

    3:7 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens"

  3. The church of the Laodiceans, it is supposed to experience the glory.
    Revelation 3:15-17

    3:15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
    3:16
    So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
    3:17
    Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked--

    Unfortunately, the church of the Laodiceans is in lukewarmness. It is the false glory which prioritizes the physical things but the spiritual ones decrease. It is the glory without Jesus, without the true teaching Word.

    The results are as follows:

    1. One will enter the false worshipping, worshipping to Antichrist.
      Revelation 13:1-3
      13:1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.
      13:2
      Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet ofa bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
      13:3
      And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.

      For example is the woman who is bent over for eighteen years in the temple of God. She refers to the life that minister in the temple of God but being sealed 666 by Antichrist.

    2. Being vomited by God.
      Revelation 3:16
      16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

      Vomit refers to something that is useless, disgusting, unclean, being separated from God forever.

Colossians 4:15-16
4:15 Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church that isin his house.
4:16
Now when this epistle is read among you, see that it is read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you likewise read the epistlefrom Laodicea.

The effort of God to help the church of the Laodiceans is through the Word that is the letter for the congregation of the Colossians is read also to the Laodiceans. The letter to the Colossians refers to the worship prayer (The Golden Altar of Incense). The congregation of the Colossians is increasing spiritually in ministry until worship God. The Laodiceans are blessed physically and they must increase spiritually so they will not become lukewarm.

Matthew 6:31-34

6:31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
6:32
For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day isits own trouble.

The character of Gentiles is worrying the physical things for living now until future, so they only look for physical things until they cannot minister to God. They are ministering (praying) for physical things and leaving the spiritual ones, so they become lukewarm.

Isaiah 4:1

4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying,"we will eat our own food and wear our own apparel;only let us be called by your name,to take away our reproach."

At the last days, seven women shall take hold of one man. There are two meanings as follows:

  1. Negative meaning
    The congregations look for the physical things and leave the spiritual ones. They will enter the peak of evil and uncleanness or the sin of Babylon and become the bride of Satan that will perish.

  2. Positive meaning
    Seven congregations hold to Jesus (one true teaching Word). They are not looking for physical things but prioritizing the persona of Jesus (the true teaching Word), so they reach the perfection and become the bride of God.

The results are as follows:

  1. We experience the purification from the shame or reproach of Gentiles.
    Isaiah 54:4-5

    54:4 "Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed;neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame;for you will forget the shame of your youth,and will not remember the reproach of your widowhoodanymore.
    54:5
    For your Maker isyour husband,the Lordof hosts isHis name;and your Redeemer isthe Holy One of Israel;He is called the God of the whole earth.

    The shame of youthrefers the will of flesh and sin up to the peak of sin. It is the sin of eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage. It must be purified so we can live in righteousness and holiness.

    The reproach of widowhoodrefers the relation with husband (Jesus) that is cut, being dry spiritually. It must be purified so we can live in peace.

    The shame of worryinghaunts Gentiles so they cannot live in righteousness, faithfulness, and fervency in ministry. It must be purified so we can live in righteousness, faithfulness, and fervency in ministry. Everything will be added to us. We live by the cross of God. We live abundantly until we can give thank to God and become blessing for others.

  2. We are called by the name of Jesus.
    Isaiah 4:1

    4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying,"we will eat our own food and wear our own apparel;only let us be called by your name,to take away our reproach."

    It is a new name, a name of the bride of God.
    We experience the life renewal from carnal man to spiritual one like Jesus. It starts from obedience.

    Philippians 2:8, 10

    2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point ofdeath, even the death of the cross.
    2:10
    that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

    If we obey, we can cry out Jesus' name to defeat Satan trinity.
    We win over Satan that is the source of sin so we can live in righteousness and holiness. We win over Satan that is the source of problems so all problems are solved by the name of Jesus, even the impossible ones. We win over Satan that is the source of failure so we can be successful and beautiful in time.
    Until Jesus comes a second time, we are changed to become as glorious as He is, to greet His second coming, until we sit on the heavenly throne together with Him.

    Revelation 3:21
    3:21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

God blesses us.
