To Coincide with Fasting Prayer Service Session III
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 22:6 22:6. Then he said to me, "These words are faithful and true." And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.God has spoken the faithful and true words, namely the true teaching Word that reveals something that has not happened yet but will happen for sure in the future, especially about Jesus' second coming on the glorious clouds in the glory as the King of kings and the heavenly Bridegroom--the Bride Tidings.
The teaching Word is preached to the congregation by the servant of God who is sent by Him.
Jude 1:11:1. Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:The example is Jude, James' brother.
The servant of Jesus Christ means as follows:
- One who is redeemed or set free by Jesus' blood.
1 Corinthians 7:22-23
7:22. For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord's freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ's slave.
7:23. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
1 Peter 1:18-19
1:18. knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,
1:19. but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
The sinner is not worthy to become the servant of God. That is why we must be redeemed by Jesus' blood as follows:
- The precious blood.
The worthless sinner is redeemed, so he can repent and live in righteousness. He is also appointed as the priest and king, namely one who ministers to God. He becomes a worthy life before God.
- The blood of the lamb.
We must be shepherded well and correctly.
Leviticus 21:12
21:12. 'nor shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
The priest must persevere in committing the three kinds of main service--the Holy Place--, so he does not profane the holiness, but keeps living in holiness. He does not commit sin anymore. He experiences the purification continuously, so the consecration of the anointing of Holy Spirit is upon him.
The results are as follows:
- The mind is not deceived by the false teaching and gossip. We keep holding fast the true teaching Word. We keep being in the will of God.
- Receiving Holy Spirit's gift, namely the miraculous ability, so we can minister to God according to the ministry that He gives to us until the finish line.
- The blood which is without blemish and without spot.
In the shepherding, we experience the purification continuously until we are set free from all sins by Jesus' blood. We become without blemish. We become as perfect as Jesus.
Galatians 1:9-10
1:9. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
1:10. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Do not become the servant of man! It means that one just pleases man even sacrifices the true teaching Word.
The motto of Lempin-El is: It is better to be rejected with the true teaching than received without the true teaching.
- The servant of God who imitates Jesus Christ just as Jesus Christ imitates God the Father.
John 5:19
5:19. Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.
The two patterns of God are as follows:
- The pattern of obedience.
Philippians 2:8
2:8. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Jesus sacrifices all things to become obedient to the point of death on the cross. We must become obedient until the flesh does not speak anymore. We also sacrifice all things to become obedient.
1 Samuel 15:22-23
15:22. Then Samuel said: "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.
15:23. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king."
If one becomes disobedient, he will pay the more expensive price, namely he is rejected from being king. It means being unable to be the priest and king or the servant of Jesus Christ.
- The pattern of faithfulness.
2 Timothy 2:13
2:13. If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.
The faithfulness is Jesus' characteristic that cannot be influenced by anything.
We must also minister to God faithfully and fervently until the finish line. Do not be influenced by anything!
So, the servant of Jesus Christ is the one who is obedient and faithful until the finish line.
Deuteronomy 11:13-14
11:13. ' And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
11:14. 'then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.
We receive the rain of Holy Spirit from heaven.
The results are as follows:
- Holy Spirit is able to give the physical blessing in the midst of the difficulties of the world.
Psalm 104:15
104:15. And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face shine, And breadwhich strengthens man's heart.
The grain refers to the Word that strengthens our heart, so we do not get disappointed and desperate as well as leave God but keep following Him until the finish line.
The wine refers to God's love that gives us the heavenly bliss.
The oil refers to Holy Spirit that makes our face shine.
Deuteronomy 11:15
11:15. 'And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.'
There is a blessing for ministering God.
- Holy Spirit is poured out into the dry heart, so we are not withered spiritually, but experience the heavenly satisfaction.
Isaiah 44:3-4
44:3. For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, And floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring;
44:4. They will spring up among the grass Like willows by the watercourses.'
We are set free from the sin of Babylon. We can give thanks and bear witness. Our heart becomes peaceful.
- Holy Spirit gives us the extra power, so we keep ministering to God.
Psalm 137:1-3
137:1. By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion.
137:2. We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it.
137:3. For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us requested mirth, Saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
We keep ministering to God faithfully and fervently until the finish line.
- Holy Spirit changes from Jacob to Israel.
Isaiah 44:5
44:5. One will say, 'I am the LORD'S';Another will call himself by the name of Jacob; Another will write with his hand, 'The LORD'S,' And name himself by the name of Israel.
From liar to winner. Honesty means becoming the house of prayer. The impossible thing becomes possible. All of impossible problems are finished in due time.
It continues until we are perfected. We receive the new name, namely the one of the bride.
God blesses us.
