Scriptures:    Revelations 19:11-16, 17: 13 – 14, 1 Timothy 6:15, Matthew 23:37

We must follow believing that only the Lord is the King of Kings and the messiah. Then we will defeat the devil and will not receive the mark of the beast. The devil causes people to stumble by working through the people who don’t believe Jesus’ Will and makes people receive the mark of the devil by doing so. Rely only on the Lord.

We must serve the Lord in our hearts as the absolute King of Kings, our eternal ruler, and live according to His Will. Then we can defeat the devil and demons and even defeat everyone who slander because they are influenced by them. We must serve the Lord as our eternal ruler.

The kings of this world rule the people below them through positions and rank like a pyramid system. It is not possible for them to see each person’s face during their administration. Even if they were to give each person one minute to see them during their administration, it would be impossible to do so because they don’t have that much time. That is why kings of this world can’t take care of each person personally. Only the Lord helps us with the Word and personally and constantly goes to each person like thief and takes care of each person.

The Lord told us to love our enemies. People of the Lord must be people of love. If someone has done wrong, he told us to forgive them and pray night and day to the Lord about them asking for the Lord to surely forgive them. Then you’re forgiven for your own sins too. You can spot a person who is being influenced by the Lord by looking at their actions.

You must hurry and forgive your brothers’ wrongs. Think that you have been forgiven by God for a million times more and hurry up and forgive your brothers. This is the action of those who are under the Lord’s reign. If you don’t do that, then you are reigned by the devil.

The Lord does not come like a thief with the trumpet call of the archangel only during the second coming. Even now, even at this moment he comes to each of you like a thief. I taught you that during the past 2000 years the Lord came constantly to everyone through the people of mission in each time period.

Even if you failed the first time, if you truly repent, then the Lord will give you another chance. I want you guys to realize that and try again. The Lord’s reign is so merciful and is love itself. Everyone, all of you must become like this.

The things we must do, however is repent, make the Lord your first priority, resolve problems you have with your brothers, and like the Lord said and like Apostle Paul said, first listen to the Word and be born again, make your spirit become born again through the Holy Spirit, forgive each other, be diligently, listen to the Word each time, if you’ve heard it, then put it to practice, achieve a new resurrection of life by putting the word to practice, take good care of the young lives of faith, evangelize, beautify your hearts and actions, and beautify your spirits.

Scriptures:    Matthew 16:26, Matthew 7:16-20

The world is a world where the body is precious. If the body is in the world, loving the world and living according to its physical desires, then the spirit will become the same kind of person the body is because they are one.

The body, mind, and spirit are one body. You must not think of them as being separate. That is why when the Lord was in the world he pointed out our body’s actions and told us to fix them. This world is a world of the body. It is a world where the body is precious. Life is so precious it can’t be traded even for the world. If the body dies, the spirit’s growth stops and the spirit goes to either heaven or hell based on the things that were done by the body.

You see the spirit by looking at the body. I told you, therefore, to not try to see only the spirit. The spirit is like the shadow of the body. If the body is good, then the spirit is good and if a person’s body’s actions are rotten, that person’s mind and spirit are rotten too.

People say they believe in the Lord but live mindlessly in the world. Then they bring that body to service before the Lord. If you fail to live in spirit and truth in your body and spirit and then come to service, then God and the Lord will not accept it. You must control the world and live cleanly in the Lord. Then come and observe service with that body and spirit.

For 30 years I have taught you that the doctrine of Providence is “Take action!” You must achieve physical changes and spiritual changes. First is the person with the body and then the person with the spirit, I said.

If you read the NT you can understand well what kind of Word the Lord gave. The Lord constantly pointed out the actions of our bodies and our minds and told us, “Be perfect.” You must understand this and make your bodies and actions holy, obey the Word, and become absolutely one with the Lord in preparing to receive the Lord.

The Lord prepared the Kingdom of Heaven and came down to take us. However, He is grieved when he sees our bodies liking the world so much and live consumed by it. He said, “I stand telling you to prepare for the last time.” Understand?
