Before we start, please read 2 Chronicles chapter 29. Pray and meditate on the passage. Thanks.
Story of King Hezekiah purifies the temple
In this story of 2 Chronicles, King Hezekiah cleans the temple so that people of his kingdom could worship the Lord again in a pure heart.
Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). Therefore, if we fall short of His glory, for example we sinned, having bad habits, having various weaknesses that do not glorify God our Father, then now is the time to clean our hearts. So that, we could see Him face to face in the spirit.
Then, we saw that the people of Hezekiah burnt offerings and sacrifice to Lord God. We also need to offer hearts to Lord, so we could please the Lord. As we offer ourselves to Lord again, we don't need to worry about anything anymore. It is because Lord Jesus Christ will work out everything for our own good. We will learn to be obedient children of Most High, be holy just as he is holy.
Let's praise Lord everyday in our lives. Let devote ourselves an hour at least each day to pray to Him face to face. As we do so, we will be closer and closer to Jesus, we will know Him, no longer by words, but as a friend who know what He is doing. Amen?
Lord's chosen ones
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other. (John 15:16-17)
We did not choose the Lord, but Lord has chosen us in this hour. Church, arise! You are a remnant that is chosen by Lord in order to bear fruits. We are chosen in this hour to show the love and mercy of Father to the unreached, and to all those around us. We need to bear fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). We need to be testimony of Jesus. Whatever we ask in Jesus's name, according to His will, God will give us. So, why are many of us worry about things in the world that is about to pass? Why are so many people worry about doomsday? We should worry about all those around us, those who do not know Christ, some even never heard about Jesus Christ, properly. So, what are you waiting for? Please realign yourself with the Kingdom of God, and start marching to the field of harvest, which we are already in: our school, marketplace, office, park that is opposite our house, etc.
Harvest, harvest, harvest
Genesis 13:14-17
The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.”
Just like Lord had promised Abraham, Lord had promised us a great revival. The Church has always longed for revival, but do we take the first step to step into the field of harvest? Those who do, will be like Abraham, walking into the land of promise, a step at a time. We have to depend on Holy Spirit alone in everything we do, not by our own understanding, experiences, and skills, but by Spirit of God (Zechariah 4:6). Wasn't God wanted David to fight using different strategies each time when he was battling the enemies? Then, why do we stick to the same strategy that have already been used since 20 years ago? Then, I believe, the number of the saved will increase, exponentially, more than we could ever imagine.
"Do not be afraid!" Lord says.
Now, please read Isaiah 43:1-7, and pray about it. Thanks.
"Do not be afraid!" Lord says. God will protect us, our lives is in his hands. We heard in the news that the natural catastrophe is increasing throughout the globe. We heard crazy fella are spreading acids on strangers across the city. We heard that many places start to have unrest. However, God will never leave or forsake us. "I will be with you." He says. Don't worry about tomorrow, we need to appreciate our lives now. We ought to love the Lord and serve Him, while we can. The life is short. However, have you made the right choice? Have you received Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior? If not, let's do it now. Find a Christian friend or pastor or Spirit-filled people and ask him/her to pray for you and with you. Ask him/her who Jesus is, and how to receive salvation of the soul. This is for your own good. Jack Sparrow said in the pirate movie: "Do what I need to do so I can go to place where the good people go," right? XD
Pray for this type of people
Mark 13:43-45
Just as he was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders.
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard.” Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him.
The scene above is normally portrayed as "Kiss of Judas". Judas Iscariot pretended to be Jesus's ally from the very beginning, known as the twelve. Yet Jesus know his heart and tried to save him from following the darkness. However, Judas stray away and away from the Lord due to his greed and own assumption. In the end, he sold Jesus for thirty-piece of silver. Judas turned away from the Lord.
I believe that many will arise in the name of Christianity, but they teach things that are not of the truth. Learn to discern by yourselves which are from Lord and which are not, for you have the Holy Spirit in you. Some of those are actually our beloved in Christ, do pray for them, so that they would let go their pride and return to the Lord. Jesus really loves them, even if they walked away. So, instead of criticizing those who made mistakes, why not we intercede for them in love so that they might come into repentance? Jesus loves us, Jesus loves them, Jesus loves every human beings. So, we are not to judge other people's acts. Instead, pray for those who God loves so that they may return to the Lord. Amen.
Crossing Over
Now is the time to cross over! The movement of the Holy Spirit has begun! The awakening has begun! Yeah! I will share the song "Crossing Over" by City Harvest Church to end this post:
(Verse 1)
We come before Your throne
Our hearts we give to You
We long to see Your kingdom come
And bring Your truth to all the earth
{Verse 2)
Your cross before our eyes
You've set our hearts on fire
To give what we can never keep
To gain what can never lose
(Chorus)
Nations will cry out Your name
Send us to Your harvest Lord we pray
By Your spirit O Lord we claim the nations
Of the world for You Jesus
Pour down Your rain
Holy Spirit move in us today
By Your spirit O Lord we claim the nations
Of the world for You Jesus
By Your word of truth we're crossing over
To win the lost for You
God bless you all, He loves you very much! ^_^
