Message by Senior Pastor Joshua
Summary by Will Yeh

Everyone, whoever you are, call on Jesus, and you will be saved.

Offering prayer in the predawn hour is for your own benefit. When you pray in the morning, that’s your offering to God. You gain merit here on earth as well as when you go to heaven.

Even though your mind desires to do something, your body can’t seem to follow. With the dawn prayer, you have the determination to do it, but you don’t get up sometimes or even do it at all. If your mind cannot defeat your body, you can’t get it to do what you want it to do. Your mind has to win over your body. The mind has to win.

A person who listens to the words of the Lord and takes action precisely to the determination that he has in his mind, is a person walking a victorious path.

In sports, all athletes are successful only after they have overcome their bodies with their minds. They constantly train their bodies to do what their minds have determined to do. A person is successful only as much as their bodies follow what their minds lead.

If you don’t change, you simply remain in the same spot. You must do things in new ways. Do what you do right consistently, but do other things in new ways, then you can change. Your actions take you places. You can gain what you want if you take action with a positive mindset after hearing and being inspired by the word. You have to encourage yourself.

Your mind wants to do it but you cannot do it because your body is weak. Therefore, train your body mentality and make it a part of your physical constitution.

Make it a habit, this is the key. Whatever you’re out doing, make it a habit. If you just do something once or twice, it doesn’t turn into a habit. You must do something 10-20 times in order to make it second nature to you. You must become accustomed to it.

Make a habit out of calling on the name of the Lord. If we do this, then we will call on his name throughout the day. We must not only call on the Lord because of salvation, because we’re in pain, because we need something, etc. We need to call on Jesus in all situations and at any time. Don’t be lazy; be diligently calling upon Jesus in all situations. Call on the Lord with sincerity.

Now you are standing at the end of the world. Call on the Lord constantly. If there was no use in calling on the name of the Lord, why would he be telling us to do so?

Confess and repent in detail, that way you will not have a guilty conscience. If you don’t repent in detail, even after you repent, you will still feel like you are not forgiven. You must repent for every single sin you’ve done. You need to confess in so much detail like reading every word on a page of a book. Why do you only say you’ve sinned and that you are wrong and close the case there? You must remember by receiving the Holy Spirit and then tell Jesus everything.

Call on Jesus throughout your lives. Seek the Lord when he is near to you. Keep listening and take action.

See who people are calling on in their lives. Who are they calling on to be saved, to be blessed, and to be prosperous? Can people go to heaven if they don’t even call on Jesus but only call on human beings and idols?

Under the heavens, there is no one else God has sent to the world as the savior except Jesus. Do not call on Jesus as if he is a servant boy. Call Jesus out of respect, out of awe, out of reverence, and out of love. Call on Jesus for your salvation. Jesus truly loves a person who knows his heart. Jesus is right next to us watching us. He is not sitting on some throne in a faraway place.

Jesus is telling us to sleep less and to pray more. Only through prayer can man erase distracting thoughts of the world, focus intensely to move towards the spiritual world, and to connect with Jesus as well. Through praying, we can eliminate making mistakes. We must be connected with Jesus. Know Jesus’ heart and his anxiety.

Everyone, call on Jesus. Jesus will take responsibility for us, so call on him. Sincerely seek the Lord inspired by the Holy Spirit. You must receive the Holy Spirit before doing things, because then even if satan comes, he will not be able to influence us.

Jesus will be able to save you only if you are able to call out to them. Receive Jesus’ peace. Jesus loves us. Save yourselves, save your brothers and save your nation. Pray for all of them. Everyone, we must all call on the name of the Lord.
