If Christ Becomes the Christ the Lord of the Church
John 2:13~22 / Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days." (19)
Hymn #210 Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken (Unified Hymn 245)
For 250 years, Rome persecuted the Early Church. Those who went to the Early Church were caught and imprisoned. If they testified the Gospel, they were executed because of the word "Lord" in "Lord Jesus Christ." At that time, Rome made it illegal to use the word "Lord." It could only be used to address the Roman emperor. In the midst of that situation, only those who would truly change the world remained in the Early Church. They continued to enjoy Christ and the Triune God as the Lord of the church, the Word, works, and answers to prayer. In today's Scriptures, Jesus made a whip; overturned the tables; and drove out the animals. At that time, the Pharisees made a lot of profit by making people solely buy animals used for sacrifices in that temple. What is the meaning of the whip that Jesus wielded?
1. The Whip That Saved
At that time, the priests; teachers of the law; and Pharisees acted like the masters of the temple. Because money was being exchanged in the temple, they fought each other for positions. For you, your master must change in order to live.
2. The Whip That Restored
It was a whip that restored the three courtyards. Christ who is the King of kings and the Lord of lords has risen and is with you now. That's why you must experience praying in that name. In addition, Christ spoke strongly regarding the restoration of worship. Jesus said that the temple wasn't a "den of robbers," but "a house of prayer" for all people. (Matthew 21:13 & Mark 11:17)
3. The Whip That's a Sign of the Future
In order to save the 237 nations and become a house of prayer for all people, you must have the power to transcend time and space. The way to obtain that power is through prayer. The church that can do this is the true temple.
The building of the temple is the construction of your life. While praying, organize the Word until you can see "only" and organize your prayers until you can see "uniqueness." Moreover, until "re-creation" takes place, you must continue organizing the Word; prayer; and life. Furthermore, until "Only Uniqueness Re-Creation System" arises, do "24" regarding the "prayer of W·I·O." Right now, people and churches that can carry out "237·Healing·Summit" are urgently needed.
Gospel Memory Verse [Mark 11:24]
Bible Reading 2 Th Reading [2 Bible Thessalonians 3:1~5]
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may I receive Your tremendous grace this week. Grant me, who's powerless, the grace of seeing "The Throne's Background." Moreover, through the power of Heaven, heal those believers who are suffering from hardships. There are many people struggling from spiritual problems. May this be the week when You heal them through the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
