Prayer Service in Surabaya, June 04, 2014 (Wednesday Evening)
Peace
and grace in the love of Jesus Christ. Good evening, let us listen
to the Word of God. May the peace, grace, and joy from God be within
us.
We
are still in the theme in the book of Revelation 1:17-20 (it
has been explained since General Service in Surabaya, March 11,
2014), but we are still studying Revelation 1:17-18.
Revelation
1:17-18
1:17
And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead.
But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not
be afraid; I am the First and the Last.
1:18
I am He who lives,
and was dead, and behold, I am alive
forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
John
the apostle fell at God's feet, which means he worshipped
with a crushed heart, and we feel the touch of God's right
hand.
Let
us be able to worship God with a crushed heart and feel the touch of
God's hands. John the apostle received God's touch and received
three things as follows.
- 'Do
not be afraid', means there is no more fear (it has
been explained since General Service in Surabaya, May 11,
2014).
- 'I
am the First and the Last' (it has been explained since
Bible
Study Service in Surabaya, May 19, 2014).
'The
First' means the initial love.
'The Last'
means the love of the Bridegroom (the peak of love). 'I am
the First and the Last' means we receive God's love.
- 'I
was dead and I am alive', means we receive the winning
power against death (it has been explained since General
Service in Surabaya, May 25, 2014).
This
evening, we are still studying the third part 'I was dead and
I am alive'.
'I
was dead, and behold, I am alive'. Jesus was dead and not
alive to do the following things.
- Defeating
death, or gaining triumph over death, so He holds the key of the
kingdom of death and closed the door of the kingdom of death
for all of us, so we are not dead forever.
- Matthew
16:18-19
16:18 And I also say to you that you are
Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of
Hades shall not prevail against it.
16:19
And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of
heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in
heaven."
If we have triumphed over death, Jesus will
give us the key of the kingdom of Heaven to let us enter the door
of Heaven and live eternally forever and ever.
What
is the key of the door of Heaven?
Acts
14:22
14:22
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them
to continue in the faith, and saying, "We
must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God."
The
key of the kingdom of Heaven is tribulation with Jesus, or the
cross.
Why
do we have to undergo tribulations with Jesus?
2
Corinthians 4:16-17
4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man
is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed
day by day.
4:17
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is
working for us a far more exceeding andeternal
weight of glory,
Through
the cross, we will have a life change or a renewal from the
fleshy human to the spiritual one like Jesus.
If
Jesus had not been crucified, He would not have been able to enter
the Kingdom of Heaven because of His blood and flesh body. This is
why Jesus had to die on the cross and rose from death in the glorious
body, and went into the Heaven. The same thing goes to us. We have to
undergo the cross (tribulations with Jesus) so that we have a life
change until we are as glorious as Jesus.
Why
do we have to change?
1
Corinthians 15:50
15:50
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption
inherit incorruption.
We
have to change because flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of
God, but will die forever and ever.
What
should be changed or renewed?
2
Corinthians 4:16
4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even
though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man
is being renewed day by day.
The
renewal starts from the heart.
If
the heart is changed, the whole life will be changed.
If
the heart is not changed, the whole life will not be changed.
Heart
is the center of our spiritual life.
Now
we will learn about the heart renewal.
James
3:11-12
3:11
Does a spring send forth fresh
water and bitter from
the same opening?
3:12
Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear
figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and
fresh.
'a
spring' refers to the heart, which is the source of our
spiritual life.
There
are several springs described on the verses. These refer to the
heart, which is shown in speech. If our heart is a fresh water
spring, it is impossible that bitter water shown from our speech.
The
hearts that should be renewed are as follows.
- The
fresh water
spring, or a tasteless
heart. It refers to being
easily disappointed, downhearted,or being proud when facing anything
in this world.
- The
bitter water spring, or a bitter heart. It refers to
envy, hatred.
- The
salt-water spring, like the Dead Sea, where the salinity is
very high that nothing lives in there. It refers to the dead
heart, because it is possessed by sins until the peak of sins.
These
3 hearts need to be renewed in order to have the key of the kingdom
of Heaven and inherit the kingdom of Heaven (we are able to enter
it).
If
our heart is changed, it will be a strong and firm heart
(not plain, bitter, nor salty). This is the obedient heart.
The
obedient heart will be filled with the living water from Heaven,
namely the Holy Spirit. Jesus went to Heaven and promised to anoint
us with the Holy Spirit because human of flesh and blood cannot live
without the Holy Spirit.
Jesus
is the one who gives the Holy Spirit from Heaven to us. We have to
provide the place through prayer.
The
place is our heart. Do not have a tasteless, bitter, or salty heart,
but let our heart be renewed to be strong and of good courage. We are
not tasteless, bitter, or salty, but we are always obedient.
Our
heart is filled with the water from Heaven, namely the Holy
Spirit, which is poured upon us. All of us need Holy Spirit.
The
usages of Holy Spirit are as follows.
- John
7:37-39
7:37 On the
last day, that great day
of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone
thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
7:38 He who believes in
Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow
rivers of living water."
7:39
But this He spoke concerning the
Spirit, whom those
believingin
Him would
receive;
for the Holy Spirit was not yet given,
because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Jesus
had to die, rose and went to Heaven and let the Holy Spirit be
poured upon us.
The first usage of the Holy Spirit is "the
water will flow
(horizontally) to those in need".
It
means that we are
able to have a truthful and good speech,
or a speech that can bless others. We have to testify to those in
need and to those who have not believed to Jesus. We have to testify
the good news (the gospel).
To those who have been saved, we
have to testify about the Bride Tidings (the Word) to bring them
into the building of the perfect body of Christ.
If our
heart is tasteless, we will murmur. If our heat is bitter or salty,
we will gossip and do other things.
This
night, we are God's target.
God will never deny His promises. He promised to pour the Holy
Spirit upon us. It is now on us to provide the place. If we don't
provide a good place, we cannot accept the Holy Spirit.
Get
the place ready,
which is the renewed (an obedient heart) and fervent heart. This
kind of hearts will be the place of the Holy Spirit.
If our
heart is renewed, it is not hard for us to have a righteous and good
speech, and to testify, starting from marriage (our marriage becomes
peaceful), in church, and anywhere else.
- John
4:14
4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall
give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will
become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting
life."
The second usage of the Holy Spirit
is as a springing (vertical) living water (after the
water flows horizontally, it can spring upwards) to push us to
worship God.
Romans 8:26
8:26 Likewise the
Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know
what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered.
This night, let the Word and
the Holy Spirit motivate our prayer.
The Holy Spirit motivates
us to worship God with groaning which cannot be uttered,
which means as follows.
- Worshipping
with other tongues.
If we are fulfilled with the Holy
Spirit, the other tongue should be trained to be under control (it
is not forced and mimicking, but we have to ask from God), so that
the fire of the Holy Spirit keeps on kindling within us.
When
Aaron, the Great Priest, entered the Holy of Holiest with the ephod
robe and bells of gold, there was a beautiful voice. That was the
worship with the other tongues.
- Worshipping
God with a broken heart like a baby crying to his mother. The
baby Moses was in the hand of the daughter of Pharaoh. He should
have been dead. However, because of his cry, God's mercy was upon
him.
Whatever our condition is, let's confess that we are
only baby and we can do nothing. We can only cry until God has
mercy upon us and Holy Spirit will do physical miracles.
If our cries reach God and attract His mercy, His hand (the
Holy Spirit) will do physical miracles for us.
God will not
leave us alone. God will pay attention to a crying baby.
Zechariah
4:6-7
4:6 So he answered and said to me: "This is the
word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but
by My Spirit,' Says the Lord of hosts.
4:7 'Who
are you, O great mountain? Before
Zerubbabelyou shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the
capstone With shouts of "Grace, grace to it!" ' "
There
will be physical miracles, as God's hands (the Holy
Spirit) are able to make great mountains become plain lands.
God is able to solve every problem, even the impossible
ones, and to give us a future that is full of hope, a good
beautiful, and successful future for us (if the mountains become a
plain, we can look forward).
The
final miracle is when Jesus comes on the second time and our
mouth is changed until we do not stumble in word (we are perfect).
We have to use our mouth to testify and to worship.
The Holy Spirit will work to create physical miracles to help us
until one day we will not stumble in word (the last miracle).
James 3:2
3:2For we all stumble in many things.
If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect
man, able also to bridle the whole body.
We do not
stumble in word means that we only say 'Alleluia'
to welcome Jesus' second coming in the glorious clouds and we will
be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven forever and ever.
Revelation
19:6-7
19:6 And I heard, as it were,
the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as
the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia!
For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
19:7 Let
us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the
Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
We
are raised up to the clouds and enter the marriage supper of the
Lamb of God, the Kingdom of 1000 years of peace, and the eternal
Kingdom of Heaven. We will be with Him forever and ever.
God
has defeated death and locked the door of the kingdom of death. If
there are people who die, it happens because of their own faults.
God
has locked the kingdom of death to prevent us from dying and given us
the key of the kingdom of Heaven, that is the cross (the flesh
sufferings), including this night. The worship is a form of flesh
suffering to change us.
The
most important thing is a heart changing from the tasteless,
bitter, or salty heart, into the obedient one and the Holy
Spirit (the living water) will be poured, to flow (to testify)
and to spring (to worship with the groaning which cannot be
uttered). The Holy Spirit will make the mountains become a plain.
Whatever our difficulties are, God
will help us until one day we will not stumble in word. We are
perfect when Jesus comes to Earth again and we deserve to welcome His
second coming.
God
blesses us.
