Scriptures: John 14:25-26

The theme for this year’s Christmas is “A joyful Christmas.”

If we want to wrap up this year beautifully, pray for your brothers’ weaknesses, share, have mercy and compassion, bring lives back to God and make them become one with the Lord, manage and care for the people who are especially weak, find those who are lost, help those who are tempted and dragged around at this end of the year, and figure out the work that you must do.

This is the Word that God and the Lord gives to each of you today. He told each of us to surely know and realize what God and the Lord want and wish from each of us. God and the Lord say they already know what you want from God and the Lord and tell you, “Don’t worry and don’t be anxious. Instead, pray, be thankful, don’t be discouraged, give glory, and live with love for your brothers with hope.”

You must do the work that God wants you to do. Then you will live a life that achieves your life’s purpose, live a life that has no regrets, and are a person who is fulfilled. That’s a blessed life. That’s a life of joy. That’s an ideal life and a life of heaven on earth. I told you to find out what life God wants you to live and live that life so that you will live a life that is new and more changed from this one.

You must discover new things. Then you will have hope and will do the new work filled with hope. All of you must realize the things God wants from you. Then hope will be generated in you and you will make your hopes come true by doing them. You must discover new things in the bible and discover new things in our lives. You must discover God and the Lord more deeply.

We must discover and realize the things God wants from us. The Lord discovered Words of life and salvation, heaven and the value of life, He discovered God and the spiritual world which is more ideal, and gave people eternity by teaching them.

At this time, the time at the edge of history, we must discover anew about God, the Lord, and the Holy Spirit and their will. Old things cannot bring about new changes.

Even today God gives each of you a gift. That gift is the Word. This gift makes you prosperous in both body and spirit. Destinies change through the Word.
