Scriptures: Romans 12:2, 1 Corinthians 15:51 – 55

Do only things that are necessary. Think about your future and cut out everything that is unnecessary. If you live with a rotten mind, you will live your life spending time on things that are unnecessary.

Through today’s message I will give you a dream for this year. In today’s Scripture, which is Romans 12:2, the following is said: “Be changed by the renewing of your mind.” This is where this year’s theme came from.

People want to do things differently than in the past, people want change, and they want to acquire new things. However, if you don’t change your minds and don’t become new, you will repeat what you did in the past, there will be no progress, and you end up living lives that have no hope. If you want your wishes and hopes to come true this year, you must first make God’s will come true.

Even if we only thought about something and did not take action, God still judges us based on the goodness or wickedness of our hearts. What things must you do in new ways and be changed in? The Holy Spirit and the Lord will make them come to mind.

If anyone’s minds are rotten, their bodies will do rotten actions and their spirits will rot too. In this way the destiny of our lives are altered by our thoughts. One wrong thought leads people to commit suicide, or makes people live giving up on life. You cannot live a strong life in this tough world if you have weak thoughts.

When thinking a certain way becomes a habit for you, you will keep repeating the same bad thoughts even though you don’t like doing that. Bad thoughts are stored in the brain. Therefore, you must expel the bad thoughts by thinking good thoughts. If you look at useless things, they get stored in the brain and the brain thinks only in those ways. Is it right for you to spend only a little bit of time thinking about God but spend a lot more time thinking about the world?

Even habits that is impossible to fix because they’ve been with you for 10, 20, or 30 years can be fixed with the power of Him who gives us the power if we pray and petition God.

You must think in a new way. Having a new heart, thinking in new ways, and doing things in new ways is hard at first but if you take action with greater determination, it is not going to be so hard because you will receive greater power.

Your thoughts have a tremendous affect on your life. You must realize just how crucial thinking in new ways is. Thoughts are the source of life.

Physical thoughts give birth to worries, anxieties, and fear of the future. They follow you around always and become a heavy burden of sin. But if you leave your anxieties to God and the Lord, and pray, they will all disappear.

Scriptures: John 2:1-11

I pray the Lord’s peace be with you. Even if people live in the New Year, human beings live in the same environment and same events. The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, night and day still cross each other, and all the other environmental factors remain the same. Changes must take place in our hearts and thoughts in order for us to receive new strength, new hope to sprout in our hearts, and new changes to suddenly happen.

If you look at the 4 gospels in the New Testament we see that Jesus performed many miracles wherever he went and gave people new joy and hope as well as solve their problems. That was something people could not even expect. He brought changes by doing things in new ways.

Not only could the Lord perform the miracle at the wedding banquet in Cana, when the Lord told people, “May you be healed according to your faith of whether you believe I am able to heal you or not,” lepers, blood clotting disease, and various other sick people were healed without the use of even a packet of medicine. Don’t doubt the Lord thinking, “How can such things happen?” Read what is in the bible and believe it. It is also necessary to discern well whether the events in the bible are literal account or parables.

More miracles happen to those who do as the Lord tells them to do. The time must come in order for miracles to happen. The Lord must be with you in order for miracles to happen. You must become one and follow till the end. Then you will see big miracles and will see miracles you never expected. No one knows what kind of miracles will happen. I see through faith, hear what the Lord says, and convey that message to you. Faith is to believe in what we hope for. They will come true in reality.

Those who want to live in a new way with the new hope should evangelize, do your best, and don’t think according to your own thoughts, but focus only on the Word. Whoever you are, if you become self-centered and circle the same spot over and over, you will be the one who will end up collapsing out of dizziness. You must follow with a new heart according to the Word. I bless that this will be a new year filled with hope.
