Revelation 22:5c,3
22:5. .... And they shall reign forever and ever.
22:3. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
We become the priests and kings from now on until reaching the kingdom of heaven. The inhabitant of kingdom of heaven is the priests and kings.
That is why, we must receive God's calling to be justified and saved. We also receive God's election to be shepherded, purified, and appointed as the priests and kings in the world until reaching the New Jerusalem. Do not retire!

The three kinds of the spiritual sacrifices are as follows:
God blesses us.
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:5
2:5. you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to Godthrough Jesus Christ.
One of the duties of the priest is offering up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God.
The three kinds of the spiritual sacrifices are as follows:
- The body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God.
Romans 12:1
12:1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
The living bodymeans being controlled by Holy Spirit through the perseverance in committing general service--the Golden Candlestick. The fact found in is that we minister to God actively, faithfully, and fervently.
The holy bodymeans being controlled by the teaching Word through the perseverance in committing bible study service and holy communion--the Table of Showbread.
The acceptable bodymeans being controlled by God's love through the perseverance in committing prayer service--the Golden Altar of Incense. The fact found in it is loving God more than anything or obeying Him. We also love others, including our enemy. We just do the good thing until we repay good for evil.
So, a priest can present his body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God in the sheepfold or the perseverance in committing the three kinds of main service to God. - The spiritual song.
Ephesians 5:19-21
5:19. speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
5:20. giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:21. submitting to one another in the fear of God.
The requirement is that we must be filled by the Word, so we live in holiness. We can present the spiritual song which has spiritual value that is acceptable to God. We always give thanks .
Amos 8:3
8:3. And the songs of the temple Shall be wailing in that day," Says the Lord GOD--"Many dead bodies everywhere, They shall be thrown out in silence."
If the song has no spiritual value, it will be wailing up to perdition.
The facts of having spiritual value are as follows:- [verse 21] Submitting more until we submit to the inferior people. We esteem others more than us.
- Having the fear of God or obeying Him until the flesh does not speak anymore.
Being unable to submit to the superior people is the same as Lucifer. - [verse 21] Submitting more until we submit to the inferior people. We esteem others more than us.
- The worship which has spiritual value that comes by the will of the Spirit or God, not by the lust of the flesh.
Ephesians 6:18-19
6:18. praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--
6:19. and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,
The prayer that comes from the lust of the flesh will not be answered by God. It can be answered by Satan to destroy us.
The facts of the true worship are as follows:- Confessing and forgiving one another.
James 5:16-18
5:16. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
5:17. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
5:18. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
As a result, Jesus' blood takes away our sins, so we can repent and live in righteousness. The prayer of a righteous man avails much, namely the preservation power of God to take care of us in the midst of the difficulties of the word, and the healing power of God to heal the physical and spiritual disease. - Being honest or confessing our condition just the way we are.
Proverbs 15:8
15:8. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
Isaiah 37:14-20
37:14. And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
37:15. Then Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying:
37:16. "O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
37:17. "Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
37:18. "Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands,
37:19. "and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were not gods, but the work of men's hands--wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed them.
37:20. "Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the LORD, You alone."
We confess our condition, weakness, and sin. We can worship God with a broken heart
God will remember us deeply. He hears our prayer as well as stretches out His hand to do the miracle. All of impossible problems are finished in due time.
The decay is risen to become the great army, namely the priests and kings who are used by God.
- Confessing and forgiving one another.
God blesses us.
