Prayer Service in Malang, October 25, 2018 (Thursday Evening)

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

Revelation chapter 8 and 9 refer to the two tablets of stone or the perfect love.

Revelation 8:1

8:1 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 

The silence means the rest or peace of the bride, meaning the relationship between the bridegroom and the bride of Heaven that cannot be separated, or the relationship of perfect love. From now on, we must improve our wor-ship prayer, including fasting prayer and all night-long prayer, so the love and peace will be increased and the shaking is weakened, until we reach the perfect love and experience the silence in Heaven for about half an hour.
So, we must pray and worship God a lot to face the shaking.

1 John 4:17-18
4:17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as
He is, so are we in this world. 
4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

The proof of having the perfect love is that there is neither worry nor fear anymore, but the boldness.

There are three kinds of boldness as follows:
  1. The boldness in facing the Day of Judgment or the great white throne.
    Revelation 20:11-12
    20:11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the hea­ven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
    20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.

    There are three books in the great white throne as follows:

    • The Bible as the measurement of the righteousness and the wrongdoing or sin.
    • Books are the personal books that consist all of our thoughts, sayings, and doings in complete and detailed description including the time of day, hour, minute, or even second.
    • The Book of Life contains the list of names of people whose sin was reconciled by the blood of Je­sus. So they are redeemed and justified.

    The main purpose in the lengthening of our life is to make peace or reconcile. It means as follows:

    • To reconcile or confess the sins to God and others through the encouragement of the sword of the Word and to repent or not doing sin anymore.
    • To forgive and forget the sins of others.

    The result of reconciliation is that the blood of Jesus wipes away our sins, so everything becomes easy and light, we live in peace. It means that there is no fear until we have boldness in the Day of Judgment and our names are written in the Book of Life.

  2. The boldness or confidence toward God or to pray and worship God.
    It requires a good conscience which is a peaceful heart. Such heart will neither accuse nor be accused any­more.

    1 John 3:20-22
    3:20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
    3:21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us,
    we have confidence toward God.
    3:22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

    The process to have the good conscience is as follows:

    • To believe Jesus and repent, then enter the true water baptism. We rise from water with Jesus to receive the good conscience or the peaceful heart and be anointed by the Holy Spirit.
    • To be shepherded through the perseverance in doing three main services to God.

    The consequences of having no good conscience are as follows:

    • We cannot serve to God, but destroy the ministry.
    • We cannot live in peace, but in fear, labor, and heavy burden.
      Be careful, Satan makes us stressed to die spiritually and physically.

    The facts found in the good conscience are as follows:

    • We do not feel anything that our flesh feels. There are no more evil, impurity, bitterness, and fears. We only feel the love of God, so our hearts are in peace.
    • We are obedient until the flesh does not sound anymore. We only stretch our hands to God, so we have boldness to face the throne of grace.

    The result of having the good conscience is that God stretches His merciful hands to create miracle of help right in His time.

    Hebrews 4:16
    4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.


  3. The boldness or confidence to welcome Jesus who comes a second time on the glorious clouds.
    1 John 2:28
    2:28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

    To have it, we must return to be the first crea­tion. It means that we must be sanctified and renewed from the fleshly man to the spiritual one like Jesus.

    Numbers 12:1,10
    12:1 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had mar­ried; for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
    12:10 And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper.

    The thing that must be renewed is leprosy or self truth. It refers to the truth which is not in line with the Bible or covering the sins by blaming other people. If there is self-truth, there must be self-interest or selfishness.

    Numbers 12:1,11-14
    12:1 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had mar­ried; for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
    12:11 So Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord! Please do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolish­ly and in which we have sinned.
    12:12 "Please do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb!"
    12:13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "Please heal her, O God, I pray!"
    12:14 Then the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again."


    A shepherd must keep praying for the congregation even though he's been cursed. If a shepherd curses in return, he is not a shepherd anymore, but Satan.

    If the congregation has sinned outrageously, even though the shepherd has prayed for them, they will experience chastening from God before His help. Moreover if the shepherd has done a fatal mistake or sin, he will experience the worse chastening from God.

    Let us be renewed, so we are worthy to welcome Jesus who comes a second time on the glorious clouds. It begins from a radiant / cheerful face, and then God will make everything successful and beautiful in His time. When Jesus comes a second time, we are renewed to be as glorious as Him. We return to be the first creation, so we are worthy to welcome the second coming of Jesus. We are together with Him forever in Heaven.
God blesses us.
