Summary by Shaun McMillan and Will Yeh

Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

We began this year with the message of repentance. As we repented, the working of grace and the Holy Spirit began. But even with the time of grace, there is a limit. That’s why with everything that we have right now, we must receive grace. Don’t skip a day, don’t skip a minute. Everything that you have should be put into receiving this grace. This grace will end.

Only those who stand firm until the end will be saved. This is why we will receive the Holy Spirit. We must be born again, changed, and receive the grace that comes from the Holy Spirit.

God is working with us so that we can clean up everything. It’s not just regular clean up, it’s complete cleaning up. Don’t just be clean, be more clean. Holy Spirit is able to incinerate all the wickedness within us. The key is that right now is when it is determined if you will go to heaven or hell. It’s about your day to day actions and the things that you do that send you to either heaven or hell.

The bus only leaves once, it does not come back. Don’t think you will catch the bus later. The bus always leaves on time. Don’t think it will be late and you can catch it later.

We are in a time where our bodies must become saved. Our bodies and our spirits must become saved. It has to happen right now. If it doesn’t happen right now, we will not be certain of heaven. You will be absolutely certain of heaven depending on what you do at this final time. You must make your spirits achieve salvation. Not just a bit, but completely.

God is ruling this time. God knows our hearts and knows each and every one of us. Everyone has a time. Everyone has their individual time. God sets different times for every person. When that time comes, there is no extension. You have no choice but to live diligently with everything that you have or you will miss your own time. If you work with everything you have, you’ll hit your time.

If you put the work aside, it will never get done. Work that is done in a hurry at the right time will ultimately get done. Repent and receive the fire like you never did before.

If people don’t receive grace at this time and just complain and are negative, their hearts are cold. Jesus wants these people to quickly receive the Holy Spirit! They must rise in order for them to shine! You must shine in the predawn hours! You have to treat the morning prayer so holy because it is at the predawn hours when you will receive the Holy Spirit. Now the grace is being given, you must do it in a special way. Alter the way you do it. If you really want to receive the Holy Spirit, receive it in a special way.

The fire and the grace of the Holy Spirit will dry up. In order to receive these things powerfully, you must pray a lot. Participate in this time of grace and receive the blazing fire of the Holy Spirit. Pray! Incinerate your sin! Throw out all the trash! This is how to keep the grace going.

We must pray in order to become close to God. If we pray we will feel inspired and be filled with the Holy Spirit. When we pray, we defeat satan and ghosts and other bad influences. Satan tries to tempt us through the things we are weak in. We must pray in order to not be tempted. At this time, if we pray, we will change in a new way and we will receive abundantly the things that we ask for. The way we look at our brothers and sisters will change too. We will look at people with love and be able to forgive people. If we pray, we will know God’s heart.

We must also pray for our guardian angels. They are always protecting us from harm. We must remember to pray for them in order for them to receive strength. We pray so we don’t get sick, so we can become more spiritual, wise, and clear minded. We pray so that we will stay far form the world and work diligently and swiftly like the wind.

If we pray, we will feel so guilty of our sins that we can’t help but to testify to people about not going down the same path. When we pray, we will also prevent ourselves from sinning again.

Right now is a time Jesus is showing us his front. When the time passes, he will turn his back and he will not turn around even if we cry buckets of tears. Right now, even if you cry a small tear, Jesus is so moved. However, later after the time passes, Jesus will not turn around.

June 10th 2009 Wednesday Message

Title: Pray

Scriptures: Hebrews 13:18-19, Acts 8:22, James 5:16, 1 Peter 4:7

This week we learned about why we must pray and about grace and the works of satan. If you don’t pray, you can’t understand the word the Lord gave. If you pray for a week or a month, you will immediately understand the words, ‘pray.’

People always understand in theory and are moved in their hearts, but until they truly get down on their knees and pray, they won’t realize how much prayer is needed and is important.

More than 80% of hardships and tribulations that befall individuals, families, and churches, are because they didn’t pray. Do you know how much suffering you would receive if you didn’t pray? If you pray, God blocks the suffering and makes you escape them. You really must pray.
You must pray even if it means you will miss work. There is power and authority in prayer. There is potency in prayer. It’s a force. God controls things through prayer.

Simply living your lives believing in Jesus isn’t enough. You must do the work of conversing with the Lord.

Pray always, then you will realize. The things God and the Lord said will be conveyed to your heart. This is all through realizations when you pray.
Nowadays, we are all so busy preparing for the Lord. That is why we must go to heaven and live there eternally! All the people who followed the people sent by God were saved. Everyone who didn’t follow them ultimately came to ruin. Those sent by God are God’s representatives.
God sent Jesus as the Messiah, but the Jewish religious people found fault with him and hurt him in many different ways. Ultimately, they were condemned to hell. Heaven or hell is decided in this world, remember that. God judges those who are hypocrites.

In this big world, there is no way of knowing who the people sent by the Lord are. However, you can tell if a person is sent by the Lord or not, if you listen to the things that they say.

People always stop whatever is painful and whatever is difficult. Everyone wants things to turn out well. But in order for things to turn out well, everyone must put their lives on the line. You must become one and work harmoniously. Wish for things to turn out well.

At this time of repentance, if there are things you have done wrong against God, you must completely repent and be harmonious with each other. If you keep walking the path against God, you will ultimately walk the path of death. Set aside your pride and your stubbornness.
Now is the time of grace, we must repent. Being harmonious and united is the most important thing. Now is a time we must turn our hearts around 100%. Flush out all the ill will, the bad will and the hatred that you have harbored in your hearts. You must not keep any impurity in your heart. If you do, satans will make you their citizens.
Reflect on yourselves. Look into the word as a mirror. You must see yourself in the word. If you hate, they will become your enemies. If you hate, even your parents will become your enemies. Now is the time for everyone to participate in the grace assemblies.

Now, you must pray for yourself. You must pray for your neighbors and your brothers. It’s not time to fight with each other.
