A stumbling-block is caused by the hardness of the heart like the one of Pharaoh or Satan.
Exodus 7:14
7:14. So the LORD said to Moses: "Pharaoh's heart is hard; he refuses to let the people go.
The facts found in the hardness of the heart are as follows:
That is why we must often worship God. It can be added with the fasting prayer and all night-long prayer to hasten the tearing of the flesh with its lust, so we can receive the will of God that contradicts the one of the flesh. As a result, we receive God's mercy.
We can repent, obey to God as well as minister to Him faithfully and fervently. It is the same as opening the doors until the ones of heaven.
God gives following thingsaround our neck:
God blesses us.

A stumbling-block is caused by the hardness of the heart like the one of Pharaoh or Satan.
Exodus 7:14
7:14. So the LORD said to Moses: "Pharaoh's heart is hard; he refuses to let the people go.
The facts found in the hardness of the heart are as follows:
- Rejecting the Word of God, so one does not want to repent.
Romans 2:5
2:5. But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heartyou are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
Revelation 9:20
9:20. But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repentof the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.
Not willingly repenting in the preaching of the Word is the same as treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath. The heart gets harder up to unable to repent even though he has been punished. If it continues, he will be destroyed. - Not letting the Israelites serve God.

7:16. "And you shall say to him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, "Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness"; but indeed, until now you would not hear!

Matthew 18:6
18:6. "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
The consequences are as follows:- A millstone are hung around his neck, and he is drowned in the depth of the sea.
It refers to the difficulties of the economy. Spiritually, it is hard to understand the Word. For the pastor, it is hard to receive the revelation of the Word. For the congregation, they cannot enjoy the Word. Consequently, one experiences the spiritual death and dryness. He is not fervent in the spiritual thing until his ministry dies. - Not having the right direction. He just walks around like a millstone or the Israelites in the wilderness, so he is lost. He has no future.
- Decadence or total failure.
- Drowning in the sin of Babylon, namely the one of eating-drinking and marrying-giving in marriage.
18:21. Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.
It continues up to drowning in the lake of fire and brimstone, namely perdition forever. - A millstone are hung around his neck, and he is drowned in the depth of the sea.
That is why we must often worship God. It can be added with the fasting prayer and all night-long prayer to hasten the tearing of the flesh with its lust, so we can receive the will of God that contradicts the one of the flesh. As a result, we receive God's mercy.
We can repent, obey to God as well as minister to Him faithfully and fervently. It is the same as opening the doors until the ones of heaven.
God gives following thingsaround our neck:
- The golden chain.

41:42. Then Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph's hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.

1:7. that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than goldthat perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
It is the tested faith or being strong and of good courage. We keep holding fast the true teaching Word and obeying it. We do not commit sin anymore, so we live in holiness.
Joshua 1:6
1:6. "Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
We are used in the revival of the building of the body of Christ, starting from marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding until the Israelites and Gentiles become one perfect body of Christ.
It continues until we have perfect faith to greet Jesus when He comes a second time. - The weapon is hung on the neck. It means that the war has finished.
Song of Solomon 4:4
4:4. Your neck is like the tower of David, Built for an armory, On which hang a thousand bucklers, All shields of mighty men.
It is especially the war in our heart.

4:6. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Satan as the source of impossible problem is detroyed, so all of impossible problems are finished.
Satan as the source of the destruction in marriage and children is destroyed, so the marriage becomes one.
