Scriptures: John 15:4-5

A person who takes care of their bodies well is a person who does things when they need to do things.  There are times when things go well and times when things don’t go well.  We must live balanced lives. Do things according to your abilities.  If you don’t, then you will lose your rhythm.  Control yourselves according to your abilities.  Evangelizing, managing, teaching, etc., you must do these things while managing yourselves too.

If we pray and we are willing, God will connect us with the people to be evangelized.  Evangelism is predestined because God wants everyone to be saved.  This is why the Lord and the Holy Spirit will work with you.  If they can’t come to church, at least pray they will believe in God.  This time period is so urgent.

“Pray. There was no time when prayer was needed as much as it is now. Receive the Holy Spirit. I have come for your sake for a brief time for the final time. Don’t miss this final chance. This time is like the night Lot met the angels in Sodom. People who did not escape even after hearing the message from the angels were destroyed.”

If you talk, misunderstandings will get resolved and you will become one in heart. I look at the weather for the future and I see that there will be many snow blizzards and wind and rain on the nation. Now is time everyone must pray for their own lives. Another case; even though they are tribulations that came as a result of the time period or a nation failing to do their responsibilities, the destiny can be changed by the prayers of righteous people.

No matter how terrible the wrong is, if you set your mind to forgive, it is nothing. You must love your enemies. Then you will know my heart. Can’t you forgive that insignificant thing when we are faced with the decision of the path of life or the path of death? We must fight only with satan. Don’t fight with your brothers. We must fight with wicked spirits.

If your body misses the chance, you must regret for your entire lifetime. But if your spirit misses its chance, it must regret forever.

People who receive the Lord at this time also receive the Lord during the Lord’s final second coming. I want you to realize that right now is time of evaluation to see our readiness.

Today I told you, “You must follow the Lord sticking close to the Lord. Then you will transcend everything because of that wind and take action.” Those who are separated from the Lord must follow the Lord by stirring the wind on their own. That is why it is hard. I told you to know that and work hard until you become one with the Lord. Whether it’s yesterday or today, we must live the life that walks with the Lord.

Title: Now Is Time to Live Firmly Attached to the Lord

Scriptures: James 1:12, 2:13, 2:16, 4:9

Why do we go through anguish and suffering? Sometimes they occur because we are going the wrong way. Sometimes they happen because we are far from the Lord and we need to realize something.

When we’re away from the Lord, our days are filled with boredom, cruelty, and harshness. Sometimes we go through harsh situations so we know that there is no one we can trust in the world other than Jesus.

We might have thought that the Lord would bless us by giving us even more worldly things because the Lord loves us. But we must understand Jesus’ mind. What we have more than physical blessings, are spiritual blessings.

If, because of the Lord’s love for us, only gives us worldly blessings, then the roots of people’s hearts will keep extending towards the world, and their branches would bear worldly fruit. The more a person loves the Lord and the more the Lord loves that person, the more the Lord will give them eternal blessings.

People often say that they live with faith in the Lord, but why is life so hard? Life is hard because you’re struggling only to live your physical life. We must live for heavenly blessings, spiritual blessings, and work for the eternal world. Then, life will not be hard.

Life in the world is sweet, but it’s only for a moment. Like candy, the sweet only lasts a minute in your mouth. There is a difference between worldly and spiritual happiness.

People can’t live the life of faith because their hearts are willing, but their bodies are weak. So what do they have to do? They must revolutionize themselves! You must make a change within yourself and create that wind and rise above.

This is the time we can get everything done. We must make up our minds. Put your mind do it and you can do it! This is your chance! Those who have fallen behind and given up and turned away, they must come back and renew their hearts and go on.

You must hold on to this word’s rope of life, and live firmly being attached to the Lord. This is your lifeline. Bring people with you during this time of grace. We must defeat satans and ghosts and demons and fight them with the workings of the HS. They hinder and prevent us from opening our spiritual eyes and receiving revelations. They cause us to get upset with our brothers and turn away from them in our hearts.

How can you tell when the devil is here? They make you feel unfairly treated, make you feel left out, and make you do many things through those openings. You must pray every day. Pray the prayers of driving out the devil every day.

Never let your guard down. In the predawn hours and in your everyday lives, you must constantly live a steadfast life. No one is more beautiful than a person who repents for their own sins Jesus says.

People must fix their characters. If your character is too extreme, you stand out wherever you go, and even people with good characters can’t handle them. If you have bad character, you’re not welcome wherever you go. If you don’t fix your character, Jesus will not take you as his bride. Even if the environment is good, you can’t go there if the people are bad.

The biggest merit to accomplish at this time is to be changed. The most urgent task is to make yourselves clean and prepare yourself. Everyone must be faithful to the point of death.
