Beloved ones, this is what we have heard: “Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be SCATTERED, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.” John 16:32 NKJV When we will be scattered? For we heard: “Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecutionarose against the church which was AT JERUSALEM; and they were all SCATTERED throughout the regions of JUDEA and Samaria, except the apostles.” Acts 8:1 NKJV So the church or the called out ones scattered because prosecution that arose against them. Were not the apostles also being prosecuted? Yes. Why they were not scattered ? Because the apostles were with the Father in Christ. The apostles were left alone when a great prosecution arose against the church. And yet they were not alone because they were with the Father in Christ. For we also heard: “Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.” John 15:20 NKJV we should remember that our Lord said to us, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.” Beloved ones, we are left alone because they didn’t keep the Lord’s word and prosecuted us. And yet we are not alone because we are with the Father in Christ. So beloved ones, let us keep the Lord’s word, that we may not be alone when they prosecuted us because the Father is with us in Christ. To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

This is what we have heard: Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. -Luke 15:1 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them." -Luke 15:2 So He told them this parable: -Luke 15:3 The Lord related the parable of the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son as one parable. For we heard: "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? -Luke 15:4 So the Lord considers us who are part of Him when He related “what man of you” ; as we understand Himself as the Son of Man in the parable of the sower. So, we should consider ourselves a part of Him who go after the ones that are lost, until we together with Him finds the lost sheep. For the Lord considers : Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. -Luke 15:7 This He tells to bring us joy as we stand in awe of His grace toward those who repents. Next, we heard : "Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? -Luke 15:8 So the Lord consider those who belong to a synagogue have sinners among them. In particular, the sinners like the lost coin are unaware of their sins and that they are lost in the house. So the Lord is asking or what those belong to a synagogue, if they lose one sinner, aren’t they enlightened to bring the sinners to repentance? The Lord reveals to us what is happening in Heaven : Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents." -Luke 15:10 So we should rejoice together with the angels before God when we are enlightened to bring sinners in the synagogue unto repentance. For we heard: And he said, "There was a man who had two sons. -Luke 15:11 Aren’t our Lord Jesus consider Himself as the Son of Man who had two sons. Aren’t the two sons those who obey and not ? What the Lord considered for the lost son who return and related to those who obey Him: It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.'" -Luke 15:32 So those who disobeyed Him who came to themselves like it is written in Luke 15:17 ; were considered dead because of their acts of disobedience and were made alive through Christ by the Heavenly Father when they returned to Him. Therefore, let us be glad for our brothers who have returned to the Heavenly Father’s side. So our Lord considers great joy when sinners draw near Him in true repentance like the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son. Let us consider what makes Christ joyful and our Heavenly Father great delight when we serve Him in the new way of the Spirit. To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

FREEDOM OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD free us from oppression
Santoso replied to Santoso's topic in Bible Study
For we heard: “Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked: For they cast iniquity upon me, And in wrath they hate me.” Psalm 55:3 KJV Beloved ones, we perceive the oppression is of the wicked. Also, the oppression is because of the of the voice of the enemy. So the enemy is the wicked. Since we heard it is said that THEY cast iniquity upon the psalmist, and in wrath THEY hate the psalmist. So we consider that the enemy is not one but many, they are the wicked ones, that oppress by directing iniquity and hate. Beloved ones, let us pray: O God, I believe that You have given ear to my prayer, that You had not hidden thyself from my supplication. I believe that You attend me and heard me: grant me peace, O Lord, in my obedience, that I may rejoice silently. Because of the voice of a friend: Because of the voice of the righteous: They praise the goodness of the Lord upon me, that in pleasure they love me. Let my heart be comforted within me: for the assurance of life liberate me. Courage and stillness that separate me from fearfulness and trembling, and delight have unmoved me from the horror that overwhelmed me. And I said, Oh that I had been warlike or militant ! For then would I grasp and be awaken. Lo, then would I stay near, And remain in the city, the city of the living God. Amen -

For we heard: “The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: For thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.” Psalm 9:9-10 KJV Beloved ones, let us take refuge in prayer. Let us believe that we receive what we pray. Prayer: Lord, You also will be my refuge, for You shelter me from pursuit, danger, or trouble. Lord, You also will be my refuge, for You will free me from oppression, that You will hold me strongly in Your freedom, for You will free me from trouble, that You will strongly hold me in Your peace. For we that know Your name, Jesus Christ, will we put our trust in thee: For thou, LORD, hast not forsaken us that seek thee. For thou, LORD, has stayed with us that seek thee. Amen -

Beloved ones, we heard: “I will say unto God my rock, why hast thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” Psalm 42:9 KJV Beloved ones, we say to God our rock, that He may not forget but to remember us, so that we go joyful, not mourning because of the oppression of the enemy, that we may go joyfully because of the freedom of God. So we perceive the freedom of God that let the oppressed go free from the enemy, that the oppressed no longer mourning, no longer consider that God forgets but God remembers, that the oppressed may go joyfully because of the freedom of God. Let us proclaim in in faith: I say to God my rock, that He may not forget but remember me, so that I go joyful, not mourning because of the oppression of the enemy, that I may go joyfully because of the freedom of God. Amen I perceive the freedom of God that let me free from the enemy, that I no longer mourning, no longer consider that God forgets but God remembers, that I may go joyfully because of the freedom of God. Selah I call God my rock, for He sets me free from the oppression of the enemy. Amen -
FREEDOM OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD free us from oppression

Beloved ones, we heard: “Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:1-4 KJV Let us imitate apostle Peter and hold onto God’s promises and pray. Let us believe that we receive what we pray. Pray: We are servants of Jesus Christ and are separated to the gospel of Jesus Christ, that the apostles of Jesus Christ ministered to us, that have we obtained like precious faith with apostles through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: grace and peace be multiplied unto us through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these we might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Beloved ones, we heard: “He shall judge the poor of the people, He shall save the children of the needy, And shall break in pieces the oppressor.” Psalm 72:4 KJV How He shall judge the poor of the people? How He shall save the children of the needy? How shall He break in pieces the oppressor ? That we heard, He shall judge the poor of the people, that we may understand, that His judgment to gather the poor of the people, for He shall judge to gather the poor of the people to protect them from the oppression of the enemy. That we heard, He shall save the children of the needy, that we may understand, for He save the children of the needy from the danger of the oppressor, for He shall gather the children of the needy to His salvation.

Amen Jesus Christ our King save us from the danger of the oppressor. Gather us, our King to Your salvation. Amen We give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth forever. Amen -
Beloved ones, we heard: “Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, WHAT SHALL I PROFIT YOU, except I shall speak to you either by REVELATION, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?” 1 Corinthians 14:6 KJV Beloved ones, let us perceive the REVELATION of the grace of God. For we heard our Lord said: ”For the oppression of the poor (the helpless) Or the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.“ Psalm 12:5 KJV Beloved ones, let us put trust in the Lord, hold onto His promises and pray: Lord I trust in You, that You set me in the safety from him/her that puffeth at me. For now Lord You will arise, that you free me from the oppression, that You meet my need. Amen Lord, I also pray for my wife and children. Lord we trust in You, that You set us in the safety from him/her that puffeth at us. For now Lord You will arise, that you free us from the oppression, that You meet our need. Amen We give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth forever. Amen

“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause DIVISIONS and OFFENCES contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:17-18 KJV

Lord, we take heed Your words, we love these little ones who were lost and go astray, that in heaven their angels always see the face of the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who is in heaven. For You, Lord, have commanded us to love one another just as You have loved us, that we are also to love the lost and who goes astray. For You have come to save who were lost and go astray. We believe Lord that You Yourself will seek Your sheep, and rescue out from all places where we have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. And You will bring us out from the peoples and gather us from the countries, and will bring us into our own land. And You will feed us on the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. You will feed us with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be our grazing land. There we shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture we shall feed on the mountains of Israel. For You, Lord, Yourself will be the shepherd of Your sheep, and You Yourself will make us lie down, as You have said, Lord. Thank You, Shepherd for Your steadfast love that You seek us, the lost and bring us back who have strayed. Thank You, Shepherd for Your loving kindness that You bind us the injured and strengthen us the weak. Thank You, Shepherd, that You feed us in justice. We love You, Lord because You first loved us. Amen

Beloved ones, we heard: “I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: For thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: Thou hast set my feet in A LARGE ROOM.” Psalm 31:7-8 KJV How we may understand this large room? This, we heard: “And he shall shew you A LARGE upper ROOM furnished: there make ready.” Luke 22:12 KJV This large room is a large UPPER room. What is FURNISHED in this large upper room ? This, we heard: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that THE MAN OF GOD may be PERFECT, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV That we may understand: That He shall shew us A LARGE upper ROOM, that is, THE MAN OF GOD perfect, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works: there make ready. For we heard: “And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and PREPARED: there make ready for us.” Mark 14:15 KJV What is “PREPARED”? This, we heard: “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath PREPARED for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV That we may understand: That He shall shew us A LARGE upper ROOM, that is, THE MAN OF GOD perfect, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works and the things which God hath PREPARED for us that love him: there make ready. For we heard: “And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: THERE make ready.” Luke 22:12 KJV “And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: THERE MAKE READY for us.” Mark 14:15 KJV What is “THERE MAKE READY”? This, we heard: “So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and THE WEDDING was FURNISHED with guests.” Matthew 22:10 KJV That we may understand: That He shall shew us, A LARGE upper ROOM, that is, THE MAN OF GOD perfect, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works and the things which God hath PREPARED for us that love him: THERE MAKE READY for us, in A LARGE upper ROOM MAKE READY WEDDING for us. Selah To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

I am explaining Hebrews 12:1
-
When I declare on paths of chastening,’ Thank You, Jesus. You are my heavenly Bridegroom. In Your love You want to bless me through chastening and prepare me for the heavenly glory.’
-
When I declare during times of spiritual night and God-forsakenness,’ Nothing can separate me from You. I am knit together with You.’
-
When I declare during great inner conflict,’ I will cling to You and follow You to the end. I trust in Your love.’
-
When following a difficult leading, I say, ‘ I know that You will make the bitter sweet.’
-
When I do not despair in the midst of failure but continue to sing of His sacrifice, for He has done everything to set me free. I will sing praise, sing praise to You, Jesus. How beautiful Your love pour forth at the cross. How great mighty works that You redeem me. How precious is Your sacrifice. I love you, Jesus. Amen
-
When I am prepared to come to the cross, knowing myself to be a sinner in the sight of God and man. Thank You Jesus, for granting me Your strength to bear the cross. Thank You Jesus that I am sinner whom You have shown Your great grace and compassion. Amen

Beloved one, if we are considering what we have heard, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great A CLOUD OF WITNESSES, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” Hebrews 12:1 KJV these witnesses are those mentioned from Hebrews 11, that is, from Abel.
-
Also, beloved ones,let us consider what we have heard: “And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course: also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:) it came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with A CLOUD ( or a cloud of witnesses), EVEN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD; so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.” 2 Chronicles 5:11-14 KJV According to Oxford dictionary, EVEN meaning equal in number, amount, or value. That we may understand: And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course: also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:) it came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud ( a cloud of witnesses or THE CHURCH OF THE FIRST BORN),EVEN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD; so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God. Selah To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Now, beloved ones. let us consider what we have heard in Exodus 24:15-18 “And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.” Exodus 24:15-18 KJV This is also that we heard: “This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. This is he, THAT WAS IN THE CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:” Acts 7:37-38 KJV That we may understand: “And Moses went up into the mount, and A CLOUD ( or a cloud of witnesses or THE CHURCH) covered the mount. And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and THE CLOUD (the cloud of witnesses or the church) covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. And THE SIGHT OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD ( this is not the sight of the cloud) was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. And Moses went into the midst of THE CLOUD (the cloud of witnesses or the church) and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights. This is also what we have heard: “For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (for they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: and so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN, WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.” Hebrews 12:18-24 KJV That we may understand: “And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud ( or my token of a covenant between me and the earth in the cloud of witnesses or in the church of the first born), and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. Selah To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved ones, we heard what has been said in Genesis 9:12-13 “And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow IN THE CLOUD, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.” Genesis 9:12-13 KJV WHAT is THE CLOUD? This, we heard: “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great A CLOUD OF WITNESSES, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” Hebrews 12:1 KJV That we may understand: And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow IN THE CLOUD ( or IN THE WITNESSES) and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. WHAT is “my bow” that God said ? For we heard: “And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set MY BOW in the cloud, and IT (or MY BOW) shall be for A TOKEN OF A COVENANT BETWEEN ME AND THE EARTH. That we may understand: And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set MY BOW ( or MY TOKEN OF A COVENANT BETWEEN ME AND THE EARTH) in the cloud ( or in the witnesses) and IT ( MY BOW) shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. Selah ( reflect) To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen
