"The glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams."— Isaiah 33:21
Broad rivers and streams produce fertility, and abundance in the land. Places near broad rivers are remarkable for the variety of their plants and their plentiful harvests. God is all this to his Church. Having God she has abundance. What can she ask for that he will not give her? What want can she mention which he will not supply? "In this mountain shall the Lord of Hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things." Want ye the bread of life? It drops like manna from the sky. Want ye refreshing streams? The rock follows you, and that Rock is Christ. If you suffer any want it is your own fault; if you are straitened you are not straitened in him, but in your own bowels. Broad rivers and streams also point to commerce. Our glorious Lord is to us a place of heavenly merchandise. Through our Redeemer we have commerce with the past; the wealth of Calvary, the treasures of the covenant, the riches of the ancient days of election, the stores of eternity, all come to us down the broad stream of our gracious Lord. We have commerce, too, with the future. What galleys, laden to the water's edge, come to us from the millennium! What visions we have of the days of heaven upon earth! Through our glorious Lord we have commerce with angels; communion with the bright spirits washed in blood, who sing before the throne; nay, better still, we have fellowship with the Infinite One. Broad rivers and streams are specially intended to set forth the idea of security. Rivers were of old a defence. Oh! beloved, what a defence is God to his Church! The devil cannot cross this broad river of God. How he wishes he could turn the current, but fear not, for God abideth immutably the same. Satan may worry, but he cannot destroy us; no galley with oars shall invade our river, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

Glory be to God's most Holy name!
Dear ones,
I am very happy to meet you at this wonderful time. Today, the word that our Lord God wants to speak to us is "Worship of God."
Beloved ones!
Worship is being offered to our Lord God all around the world today. We see that there are two types of worship happening in the world. One is worship directed to the Lord who created the heavens, the earth, and the sea. The other is worship directed towards idols. Among these, worshiping the true God is the correct path. That is, the right way is to worship the God who created the heavens, the earth, and the sea. This division in worship has existed since the beginning.
As follows, the first man, Adam and Eve had two sons. The elder was named Cain and the younger was named Abel. Cain was a farmer who cultivated vegetables, while Abel was a shepherd who tended sheep. Both of them came to worship the Lord. Since Cain was a farmer, he brought vegetables as an offering to the Lord. Abel, being a shepherd, brought offerings from the firstborn of his flock and the fat portions among them. In this, the Lord accepted Abel and his offering, but He did not accept Cain and his offering, as we read in the Bible. Because of this, Cain rose and killed his brother Abel (Genesis 4:1-8). Thus, we see that from the beginning, murder occurred due to the worship of God. Since then, we see that worship of our Lord God or worship of God has been offered in the world (Genesis 4:26).
When our Lord God spoke to Moses, the word He commanded to say to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, was this: “Israel is my son, my firstborn; let my son go so that he may worship me. But if you refuse to let him go, I will kill your son, your firstborn” (Exodus 4:22, 23). From this word, we understand the importance of worshiping the Lord. Following this, the people of Israel left Egypt and came toward the land of Canaan. On their journey, our Lord God prepared the Tabernacle for them to worship Him. According to this, even in the First Covenant, there were prescribed ways of worship and a sacred earthly place. For example, a tabernacle was established. In its outer part, there were the lampstand, the table, and the consecrated bread. This was called the Holy Place.
Behind the second curtain was the tabernacle called the Most Holy Place. In it were the golden altar of incense and the Ark of the Covenant, overlaid with gold on all sides. Inside the Ark was the golden jar holding the manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant. Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. There is no time now to discuss these things in detail.
With these things arranged this way, the priests would enter regularly into the first room of the Tabernacle to carry out their ministry of worship. But only the high priest would enter the second room, and he did so only once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance (Hebrews 9:1-7). This was the place of worship where the people of Israel worshiped our God according to the Old Covenant. Later, during the time of King Solomon, a temple was built for God in Jerusalem. In the same way that worship took place in the Tabernacle, the people of Israel worshiped in this temple as well. This was the place and method of worship according to the Old Covenant. Then, at the moment when our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of mankind, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51). From that moment onward, the privilege of entering the Most Holy Place became available to us.
Currently, the place where God’s servants reside is considered the Most Holy Place, and the place where believers gather is the Holy Place.

Then, at the moment when our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of mankind, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51). From that moment onward, the privilege of entering the Most Holy Place became available to us.
Currently, the place where God’s servants reside is considered the Most Holy Place, and the place where believers gather is the Holy Place.
Therefore, how much reverence and fear should be in the hearts of God’s servants who are in the Most Holy Place! The congregation who once worshiped from the outer court can now come into the Holy Place to worship, thanks to God’s grace. See, this privilege is given to us through our Lord Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, the Most Holy Place should always be regarded and maintained as sacred. Women should not enter there, for it is the place where our Lord resides. It is from there that God speaks to us through His servants. Therefore, if the Most Holy Place is kept pure, our God will dwell there continuously. In some places of worship, the Most Holy Place is not maintained properly, and we see that God’s presence is not there, nor His works or blessings. Hence, God’s servants must be very mindful of this matter. Now, let us come to the main point.
Worshiping God is of utmost importance. Worship must be offered to God at the right time. If the Sunday service begins at 10 am, then worship should be offered precisely at that time. The Lord arrives right at 10 am, to be present there. I have seen this in many services. There was also a revelation regarding worship timing, where the Lord revealed that at exactly 10 am an angel sits at the entrance of the sanctuary, noting who comes late and who arrives on time for worship. It is according to this that the Lord’s blessings are given to us.
Alright, let that be. How do you worship the Lord? Our Lord Jesus Christ says, "Let it be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). That is, just as the four living creatures, the twenty-four elders, and countless angels worship the Lord in heaven, He desires that we also worship our God in the same way here on earth (Revelation 4:1-11). There, the angels first glorify and praise our Lord God (Revelation 4:8, 7:12). They sing songs and glorify Him (Revelation 5:10, 14:3). Their sole purpose is to glorify our Lord God. In the same way, God desires that pleasing worship be offered to Him on earth.
Today, we know that disorder is found in many forms of worship. Many worship God according to their desires. Those who worship the Lord should pay close attention. Observe what the Bible says about this. If we worship in this way, the Lord will accept our worship. First, those who worship must keep their bodies pure (Romans 12:1). Second, they must worship in the Spirit (Philippians 3:3). Third, they must have truth in their lives (John 4:24). Fourth, there must be reverence for the Lord, followed by worship with devotion (Hebrews 12:28). After that, worship must be done with trembling (Psalm 2:11). Worship must also be done with one heart (Acts 4:31, 32). Finally, worshipers should be holy in their lives and worship in the beauty of holiness (Psalm 29:2). The Lord desires that those who worship Him do so in this manner. This is what is called your "reasonable worship" (Romans 12:1).
But today, those who worship the Lord are not focused on this. Instead, they adorn themselves with elaborate hairstyles, makeup, and fancy clothing. They pursue all these outward adornments and neglect the holiness that God desires (Psalm 29:2). Dear ones! What our Lord God expects from us is the adornment of holiness. Without this, worship is of no benefit to us. Therefore, both God’s servants and His people must prioritize holiness. Our Lord says, "Be holy because I am holy" (Leviticus 19:2). Today, in many worship gatherings, God’s servants and people worship without holiness, and thus we see the lack of God’s blessings in worship. Those who come to worship often leave as they come, with no sense of fulfillment, indicating that God’s presence was not there in the worship. To bring about change or to make our worship acceptable to God, every congregation must conduct a purification worship service. God’s servants and children must confess their sins (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:7-9). When this is done, the Lord will accept the worship we offer.

Typically, after worship, God’s servants should lift their hands heavenward and pray, asking, "Lord, please accept this worship. If there are any faults, sins, transgressions, or anything displeasing to you in us, please forgive us. Lord, accept and bless this worship offered by your servants." At that moment, a revelation may come as though God raises His hand to bless or says, "I have accepted." This reveals that God has accepted the worship we offered (Hosea 14:2). When this happens, the people who came to worship will leave with peace in their hearts.
You should not speak any unnecessary words within a place of worship, because the God who created the heavens, the earth, and the sea is present there. Therefore, one must conduct themselves with great reverence in the assembly of God (Ecclesiastes 5:2). The more reverently we behave in the assembly of God, the more the Lord our God will dwell among us in that place. These days, many people are using God's temples for activities such as sleeping, drying clothes, and even drying rice. Women are also seen defiling the temple by coming during their restricted periods. God's servants must be very strict about such matters. The temple must be cleaned daily and kept pure. Prayers and incense should be offered in the morning, noon, and night. Lamps should be lit in the evening as it begins to get dark, and there should never be darkness in the temple (Leviticus 24:4). Furthermore, no one should stay overnight in the temple. If we honor the house of God in this way, His presence will dwell there. Our God is supremely holy, a consuming fire, and we must conduct ourselves with great care in His presence.
Today, people coming to worship God in temples are entering with footwear (shoes or sandals). Even those who call themselves God’s servants are coming into the temple wearing shoes or sandals. This is a practice that is very wrong in the sight of the Lord. Why don’t you walk inside your own home with shoes on? You remove your shoes or sandals at the door before entering your house. But when you come to the assembly of God, even those who claim to be God’s servants are standing in the most holy place with their footwear on. This is highly inappropriate.
Servants of God! People of God! You honor your own homes, but why do you not honor the assembly of God? If you do not honor the Lord, He will not honor you (1 Samuel 2:30). Therefore, serve the Lord with great care. Do not forget that if you fail, the Lord will judge you. Look at those who worship idols—even they do not wear footwear inside their places of worship. They are worshipping falsehood, yet they show such reverence. How much more should we honor the house of the true God! But you, who worship the true God—the Creator of the heavens, the earth, and the sea—are standing inside God’s temple with footwear (shoes or sandals) on. How will the Lord accept your worship? Therefore, bring about a change in this behavior. Because of this, God is grieved with you, Christians. Let us honor God with the reverence He deserves.
Look! When Moses was tending sheep in the wilderness, our God appeared to him in a burning bush and called, 'Moses! Moses!' When Moses approached to see the sight, do you know what the Lord said to him? The Lord said, 'Moses, take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground' (Exodus 3:5). Similarly, the Lord said the same to Joshua (Joshua 5:15). Do you expect the Lord to say this to you as well? Moses and Joshua stood in the wilderness, yet when God’s presence was there, He commanded them to remove their sandals. Now, you are standing in the temple of God—so how much more reverent should we be? Consider this carefully and recognize the level of fear and reverence we must have.

Now, you are standing in the temple of God—so how much more reverent should we be? Consider this carefully and recognize the level of fear and reverence we must have.
Therefore, servants of God! People of God! Understand this: wherever people enter God’s temple with their footwear on, it is because of such disrespect that the glory of God departed from His temple. This is what happened to the Israelites, which led to God's glory leaving the temple (1 Samuel 4:21, Ezekiel 10:4). In the Old Testament times, God left the temple in Jerusalem many times due to the people’s disobedience. That is why the temple King Solomon built was destroyed multiple times. Now, look at how much effort the present-day Israelites are putting into rebuilding that temple, which was once destroyed by wicked kings. Do you see the cost of disrespecting God’s house?
Generally, God must dwell in His temples. If God is not present, His enemies easily set fire to the temples, break them down, or threaten to demolish them with bulldozers. This is a clear indication that God is not dwelling in those temples. However, no one can destroy or burn down any temple or church where our God is truly present or has taken residence. The moment anyone tries, our Lord, who dwells in that place, will immediately intervene. Now, let’s get to the main point.
Therefore, servants of God, people of God, take great care of your temples. Imagine there is a sewage line near your house, and the smell is unbearable. In such a situation, you would immediately think about vacating the house, wouldn’t you? You might even leave the house right away. In the same way, our Lord will depart from you and from the temples where you worship if your life is not in order or if you fail to maintain the temple properly. Do not forget that God will withdraw His presence if there is negligence in your worship and temple upkeep.
Therefore, the enemy raises opposition against you and your temples. Because of this, servants of God, people of God, be very careful in God's work. Do not be careless or negligent. Be alert, be holy. Then, our Lord, the Almighty God, will powerfully dwell in your temples. At that time, even a small prayer will be immediately accepted by God. Imagine how glorious it will be when holy worship is offered. The coming of the Lord is very near, so be prepared. Be found ready at His coming. Together, in the kingdom of the Lord, we will lift up our worship in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and glorify our God. Finally, my brothers and sisters, let us all together lift up worship pleasing to the Lord and glorify our God.
Amen, Hallelujah!!

'Watching by the Fire from Far Away' — Mark 14:53-54
Key Thought
Jesus was brought before the leaders of the Jewish people, but Peter — the leader of Jesus' followers — stayed at a cowardly distance sneaking around trying to watch the proceedings. While Jesus faced the cold ridicule of those in power, Jesus' self-proclaimed loyal follower warmed himself at a fire in the company of those put in charge of the Son of God's torture. While it all seems so despicable from the safety of our distance of two thousand years, if we are honest, most of us have done the same thing. When Jesus, his cause, or his Kingdom is maligned, we sometimes pull back from the discussion, hang back, and try to be unnoticeable.
Today's Prayer
Father, give me wisdom to know how to stand up for your truth, your Son, and your will without alienating others. Also, dear Father, help me to never back down in my spoken faith because I am afraid. I want to be wise and courageous in my loyalty to your Son. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Father, give me wisdom to know how to stand up for your truth, your Son, and your will without alienating others. Also, dear Father, help me to never back down in my spoken faith because I am afraid. I want to be wise and courageous in my loyalty to your Son. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
