Youth Service in Malang, November 02, 2013 (Saturday Evening)
Peace and
grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke
5:33-39 is about 'fasting'.
Luke
5:33-35
5:33. Then they said to Him,
"Why do the disciples of John
fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees,
but Yours eat and drink?"
5:34. And He said to them, "Can
you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is
with them?
5:35. "But the days will come when the bridegroom
will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those
days."
There
are three groups of people that are related to fasting as follows:
- The
Pharisees, those who keep the law.
- The
disciples of John the Baptist. John the Prophet is the last
prophet.
He represents transition from the Old Testament (the
time of law) to the New Testament.
- The disciples of Jesus, those who
represent the time of New Testament.
Being checked, there
are a lot of things that have not been well pleasing before God
in the fasting of Israel (the Pharisees and the disciples of John)
from the time of law up to transition time. Those are as follows:
- Fasting, but the flesh still reigns,
namely doing wickedness and keeping sin.
Isaiah
58:3-4
58:3.
'Why have we fasted,' they say, 'and You have not seen? Why have
we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice?' "In fact, in
the day of your fast you find pleasure, And exploit all your
laborers.
58:4. Indeed you fast for
strife and debate, And to strike with
the fist of wickedness. You will not fast as you do this day, To
make your voice heard on high.
- Fasting, but one likes to wander, he
cannot restrain his feed.
Jeremiah
14:10
14:10. Thus says the LORD to
this people: "Thus they have
loved to wander; They have not
restrained their feet. Therefore the LORD does not accept them; He
will remember their iniquity now, And punish their sins."
It
means he is not shepherded and his ministry walks about. Or, his
heart likes to wander, cannot be calm, but doubtful, afraid and
worried.
- Fasting, but being egoistic and
disobedient.
Zechariah 7:5-6,11-13
7:5.
"Say to all the people of the land, and to the priests: 'When
you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months during those
seventy years, did you really fast for Me--for Me?
7:6. 'When
you eat and when you drink, do you not eat and drink for
yourselves?
7:11. "But they refused to heed, shrugged their
shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear.
7:12.
"Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the
law and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His Spirit
through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from the LORD of
hosts.
7:13. "Therefore it happened, that just as He
proclaimed and they would not hear, so they called out and I would
not listen," says the LORD of hosts.
Obedience
is the formula for success. Disobedience is total failure.
- Fasting as a habit.
In the New Testament, God shows the
true fast.
Matthew 6:16-17
6:16.
"Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a
sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear
to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their
reward.
6:17. "But you, when you fast, anoint
your head and wash
your face,
There
are two signs of true fasting prayer as follows:
- Washing our face with water.
Face
is same as heart. Washing face means heart is purified by the Word
of God.
- Anointing our head.
Head
is same as mind. Anointing head means our mind is anointed by Holy
Spirit.
If they are combined, true
fasting prayer gives greater opportunity
to the Word of God in the anointing of Holy Spirit which is same as
the word sharper than any two-edged sword to purify our heart and
mind from hidden things inside.
Hebrews
4:12-13
4:12. For the word of God is
living and powerful, and sharper than
any two-edged sword, piercing even
to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is
a discerner of the thoughts and intents
of the heart.
4:13. And there is no
creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to
the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
When
fasting, we have to hear the Word a lot, read the Word, and pray. On
the contrary, it is fine to hear the Word and pray when we do not
fast.
In the fasting prayer, the Word
sharper than any two-edged sword purifies our heart from two things
as follows:
- Purifying from twelve evil and
unclean desires that make our face gloomy.
Mark 7:21-23
7:21.
"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil
thoughts, adulteries(1), fornications(2), murders(3),
7:22.
thefts (4), covetousness (5), wickedness (6), deceit (7),
lewdness(8), an evil eye(9), blasphemy (10), pride (11), foolishness
(12).
7:23. "All these evil things come from within and
defile a man."
If our heart and
mind are purified from twelve evil and unclean desires, they will be
filled by twelve loaves that are arranged in two rows, six in a row.
It refers to true teaching Word.
If our heart and mind are filled
by the true teaching Word, our face will beam and we can be
obedient.
- Purifying from anxious heart.
Matthew 6:25,34
6:25.
"Therefore I say to you, do not
worry about your life, what you will
eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put
on. Is not life more than food and the body more than
clothing?
6:34. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is
its own trouble.
It
is worry about everyday life and future.
Worry will make our face
gloomy and one is spiritually bent.
Proverbs
12:25
12:25. Anxiety
in the heart of man causes depression,
But a good word makes it glad.
Woman
in the temple of God is bent for eighteen years. This woman is in
the house of God and ministers Him, but worries too much that she is
sealed with 666.
If our heart is purified from worry, then:
- We can be well shepherded.
1
Peter 5:7
5:7. casting all your care
upon Him, for He cares for you.
In
the sheepfold (the Holy Place), there are three kinds of tool that
refer to perseverance in the three main services:
- The golden candlestick=
perseverance in committing general service.
- The table of showbread=
perseverance in committing bible study service and Holy
Communion.
- The golden altar of incense=
perseverance in committing prayer service.
In shepherding, we will experience
physical and spiritual growth.
- We can focus
our mind on God that we are well pleasing
to Him.
1 Corinthians 7:32
7:32.
But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for
the things of the Lord--how he
may please the Lord.
We
can please the Lord and God surely pleases us too.
Psalms
107:43
107:43. Whoever is wise will
observe these things, And they will understand the lovingkindness
of the LORD.
We
have to focus our mind on lovingkindness of
God. It means our life depends on
lovingkindness and mercy of God.
The
results are as follows:
God's mercy is
able to raise a young man who has already been dead.
Luke
7:12-15
7:12. And when He came near
the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the
only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from
the city was with her.
7:13. When the Lord saw her, He
had compassion on her and said to
her, "Do not weep."
7:14. Then He came and touched the
open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said,
"Young man, I say to you, arise."
7:15. So he who was
dead sat up and began to speak. And He
presented him to his mother.
It
means as follows:
- God's mercy is able to take care of
our life miraculously even we face impossibilities.
- God's mercy is able to finish all
of our problems up to the impossible one.
- God's mercy is able to give
successful and beautiful future in His time.
- God's mercy is able to purify and
change our life.
When we do not obey Him, we already die and
decay.
But the mercy of God is able to change our live that we
can be obedient and our tears are wiped.
When Jesus comes a
second time, we are changed to become as glorious as Him. We enter
to New Jerusalem and there is no more tear.
God
blesses us.
