Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 21:5
21:5. Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."

In the book of Genesis, God has created heaven and earth with the contents well. He has already created human in the same glorious image as Him to dwell in Garden Eden. Unfortunately, they fell in sin, so they were driven out of Garden Eden to enter the world and got the curse.

Romans 3:23
3:23. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

In the world, men keep sinning up to the peak, so they live in curse and perdition forever.

That is why God wants to create a new heaven and a new earth, and new men who are as glorious as Him to be placed in the New Jerusalem.
The process is called as the renewal.

There are four process of the renewal in the book of Revelation 21:1-7 as follows:
  1. Revelation 21:1, namely the renewal of a new heaven and a new earth.
  2. Revelation 21:2-3, namely the renewal of new men.
  3. Revelation 21:4-8, namely the renewal of a new atmosphere.
  4. Revelation 21:9-27, namely the renewal of the New Jerusalem.
ad. 3. There are four kinds of the renewal of a new atmosphere as follows:
Revelation 21:8
21:8. "But the cowardly(1), unbelieving(2), abominable(3), murderers(4), sexually immoral(5), sorcerers(6), idolaters(7), and all liars(8)shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

There are eight sins that drown human in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone as follows:
  1. cowardly.
  2. unbelieving.
  3. abominable.
  4. murderers.
  5. sexually immoral.
  6. sorcerers.
  7. idolaters.
  8. liars.
The first and second sins are against the truth (the Court of Tabernacle).
The third up to the seventh sins are against the holiness (the Holy Place).
The eight sin is against the perfection (the Most Holy Place).

ad. 1. Resisting against the truth (the Court of Tabernacle).
Matthew 14:30-31
14:30. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"
14:31. And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"


Peter was afraid, and he did not believe in Jesus, so he began to sink up to perdition.
Our journey to follow God is like a boat crossing the sea towards the haven of peace.

Our following God must increase like a sea that gets deeper as follows:
Matthew 14:22
14:22. Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go to the other side.
It means that we must enter the revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain or the building of the perfect body of Christ because it is the command of God.
If we do not obey it, we will sin. Consequently, we become naked and live in curse up to perdition forever.

Why does God make us go to the other side or enter the building of the body of Christ?
  1. God has a desire that we can unify with Him in the New Jerusalem forever.
  2. We do not enter the ministry of the building of the body of Babylon or the bride of Satan who will be destroyed.
God does not make all men go to the other side, but His disciples or ones who receive the true teaching word.
The signs of the true teaching word are as follows:
  1. Being written in the bible.
  2. Being said by God or the one whose secret is revealed through one verse explains the other verses in the Holy Bible.
So, the revival of the building of the body of Christ is the one in the true teaching word.

We need to sacrifice (the cross) in order to go to the other side.
So, the revival of the building of the body of Christ is the one of sacrifices.

As a result, we will be purified from the sins of wickedness, uncleanness, and bitterness.

If we willingly get the sanctification as well as bear the cross, we will be used to minister to God.

Matthew 14:22
14:22. Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

There are many people going home. It means that many are called, but few are chosen.
There are many people who have been saved and blessed by God but they do not want to enter the building of the body of Christ because of the reasons as follows:

Luke 13:22-24,29-30
13:22. And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
13:23. Then one said to Him, "Lord, are there few who are saved?" And He said to them,
13:24. "Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
13:29. "They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God.
13:30. "And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last."


If there are the sword of the word and the cross, there will be the glory.
If one rejects the sword of the word and the cross, he will surely go home. He returns to his old life and enters the building of the body of Babylon.

There are two obstructions in our following God, going to the other side, or the building of the body of Christ as follows:
  1. From the outside is the wind and waves.
    The wind refers to false teaching, sins up to the peak, impossible temptations and problems that make us disappointed and desperate as well as leave God.
    The wind is blown by Satan with the power of death to make the faith fall.

  2. From the inside is fear and doubt, namely fear of something in the world until one doubts the true teaching Word, rejects the Word, and has no fear of the Lord.
Matthew 14:23
14:23. And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.

God helps us by going up to the mountain to pray. Jesus must die on Golgotha to stretch out His merciful hands for us.
As for us, God allows us to experience the decadence, so we can stretch out our hands to Him. We trust and cry to Him, and He will lift us up from the decadence.

Matthew 14:32
14:32. And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

God stretches out His hands to cease the wind and waves, and lift us up from failure to success and beauty.

Matthew 16:18
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.

We are used by God in the building of the perfect body of Christ. We are purified and changed, starting from being honest.

God blesses us.
