Scriptures: John 5:24-29, James 2:17, Luke 24:36-44, Mark 16:14, 1 Cor. 15:50-54
Ref. Matthew 28, Luke 24, 1 Cor. 15
Even after Jesus came back to life, people still doubted. Is anything too great for God almighty to do? Jesus wants everyone to teach others everything he has taught them.
Thomas was a disciple that didn’t believe at first, he needed to see Jesus himself and even stick his finger inside where Jesus was speared. Thomas believed because he saw, but blessed are those who believe without seeing. Don’t have faith like Thomas. Jesus rebukes people harshly for not believing his resurrection.
The extended time is almost finished. People who believe this are preparing, and those who do not believe this are living their regular lives of faith as before. These are the people Jesus is truly sad about. The Lord is teaching the world about everything right now. There will not be another time to listen to this sermon. You must believe after hearing this sermon. Listen till the end.
We’re not dead, so we don’t need to hope in the resurrection of the physical, because we’re still living. Instead, people living want to be liberated from worry, concern, sicknesses, poverty, ignorance, wicked lives, desires of the world, greed, hatred, fighting, etc. By hearing the words of these times, we were liberated from these things. We came and received hope. We received eternal life by being freed from our worries and troubles.
The Lord is using us as his hands and feet. Making us preach and bringing people out of the domain of death. We are born again through water and the holy spirit. Believing in the Lord living according to his words on this earth is the rapture and the resurrection. This is the resurrection in which our bodies and spirits become resurrected on the earth.
The bodies and spirits we have right now cannot be raptured. With this body and spirit, we can receive the Lord only on the earth. The Lord made history until now on the earth (in the air). Only those who knew and received him and followed received the Lord on the earth.
When people hear the word resurrection, they think about resurrecting physical people. Resurrection of dead people applies only to the future after we die. For those who are alive with a body right now, the first priority is to resurrect our actions and behaviors. Those who don’t believe in Jesus properly are in sin and cannot be saved.
According to what you do with your bodies affect how your spirit will resurrect. The actions of the body determine the resurrection of your spirit. This is called the resurrection of the time period. There’s also the resurrection of everyday life. This is the most difficult. A life in which a person forsakes their bad habits, bad characters, etc. is the resurrection of everyday life. It is the hardest resurrection and is a miraculous resurrection.
We must achieve the resurrection where we go from the domain of death to the domain of life. Only after this, can we become properly resurrected at the time of Jesus’ second coming.
Jesus performed the resurrection of the body and the spirit. Jesus taught the disciples the physical and spiritual resurrection. The Lord used different methods to lead different time periods. The most urgent and important things for us to do is teach people the resurrection of the spirit.
The sign of Jonah; Jesus’ physical resurrection is like that. Jonah got caught in the belly of the whale and was there for 3 days, but when he came out, what came out, the body or the spirit? It was the body. So the true miracle was that his physical body came out. In the same way, Jesus died and rose after 3 days physically. That is the miracle.
Jesus came back in both spirit and body. He ascended in his transformed spiritual body. It is not like the body of a regular person. The body resurrected as a spirit. The body became a divine body. The body resurrects as a spirits body, and the spirit is in control.
We must be spiritual and perfect in order for the Lord to work with us. Be spiritual and perfect then the Lord will work with us. The Lord will not work with us if our mentalities have gone wrong. If we center on ourselves, the Lord will cut us off. We must leave everything up to the Lord.

Title: The Body Resurrected as the Spirit
Scriptures: Matthew 12:38-40
If the Lord’s body came back to life, then we had many questions. First, why didn’t Jesus stay on the earth and keep preaching? Second, why didn’t the disciples record more about how the Lord’s body came back to life? Third, according to the way things work in the world, the body cannot go through walls right? How did the Lord enter the place when the door was shut?
Just as God saved Jonah’s body after he suffered, Jesus too came out three days after being crucified at the hands of sinners. God revived Jesus, then he resurrected. Know clearly that it was not Jonah’s spirit that came out of the big fish, it was his physical body. Know clearly, that Jesus too resurrected physically after 3 days and preached for 40 days.
So Jonah preached with all his heart and life for the people to repent. So everyone repented, God had compassion for them, and forgave them and changed his will. This was one of the great miracles of the time period. In the same way, the Lord resurrected and traveled around Israel for 40 days and delivered the word to his disciples. Then, he ascended.
If the people in Jesus’ time weren’t wicked and persecuted him, then Jesus would not have needed to show a painful sign of Jonah. Instead, he would have shown everything the miracle of the ideal world by making everyone repent.
In every time period, the Lord always fulfills his will through the people he sends. The Lord treats the time period according to how the people treat the person the Lord sends. If they are wicked, he’ll show them what is fitting of wickedness.
The only goal we have is to go to heaven. Try being grateful and thankful when you receive hardships. If you do, you will know the Lord’s heart, and it will burn inside you. The Lord works with you as much as you run.
The bodies of those living in this world are composed of the Physical and Spiritual body. This is why the bodies fight with each other often. You must become one. Teacher Paul said he was miserable because his spirit and his body had different wants and thoughts. If the body becomes born again and lives a life where the Lord is the ultimate priority, then the body and spirit become one. This happens when a person completely becomes born again.
Resurrection is to be restored to the original state. The people currently living in the world live with the body in control. Their spirits are living inside them as a counterpart to their bodies. Most people’s physical nature is strong, so their spirits are dragged around.
Your faith and love for the Lord must be unchanging. You must know the word clearly and put the word to practice clearly. The spirit’s form is formed according to your physical actions.
Have faith in the Lord and don’t Doubt. The Lord knows what he is doing.
