Wed Msg:  The Heart and Mind are Swords. [They are] Fire.

Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 5:23

The most supreme of all creation is man.  The physical body is the supreme creation.  But what is even more supreme are the mind, heart, thoughts, and soul that lives within the body.  The body is controlled by the mind, heart, thoughts, and soul.  Like a person driving a car, the mind, heart, thoughts, and soul drive and control the body as it lives.  The body is like an instrument.  It’s an instrument for the mind, heart, thoughts, and soul.  If there is no mind, heart, thoughts, and soul, the body is simply a corpse.

The body is like a house.  The mind, heart, thoughts, and soul are like the owner of the house.  If a house does not have an owner, the house becomes dead.  It deteriorates, rots, and disappears.  Depending on who the owner is, the house becomes beautiful and clean, or it becomes decayed.

A person’s mind, heart, thoughts, and soul are like a sword and fire.  You must make these things like swords by sharpening them, then they become like swords.  The mind, heart, thoughts, and soul must be made to become hot like fire.  Then they become powerful like fire.  It can’t be called fiery if it’s lukewarm or cold.  Everyone must set their hearts on fire by working on their own, or by receiving the fire of the Holy Spirit.  You must make these 4 things like a sword and fire.  At the same time, you must train your bodies to also be like a sword and fire.

A person’s heart, mind, thoughts, and soul is like dirt.  If they are left alone all day, they will remain as dirt.  We must turn the dirt into pottery.  We must harvest and eat food by planting on the dirt.  We must utilize the dirt to get a result.  If you do nothing with your mind all day, it will end up as nothing.  You must hurry up and move and use your minds.  Don’t just sit there.

To utilize the time called the mind, you must put the Lord’s words to practice.  Run, learn, study, and take action for the sake of your lives.  You can’t get things done once your body is old.

Don’t live your life worrying, wondering, and being frustrated about how you should live.  Instead, make your heart, mind, thoughts, and soul as sharp as swords and hot like fire.  Take action with them and use your bodies. We must make our minds into divine minds and take action. People must do through their bodies things they set their minds to do.

You must fix yourselves so you will swiftly take action like swords, like fire, and like bullets.  You can’t succeed in life if you keep your mentality the way it is.  Listen to the Lord’s words and fix and change them all.  Become intense like fire and sharp like swords.

Until the wild persimmon tree is grafted into the true persimmon tree, it cannot succeed with is fruits.  We must graft our hearts, minds, thoughts, souls, bodies, and spirits into the Lord, then we will succeed.  We must transform ourselves and change in order to run for this history.

You must cut off your heart, thoughts, mind, and soul and graft it into the Lord.  If you do, then you will have hope for the future and live.  There are some who have cut off these things and live with the Lord’s mind, but there are many who still have no grafted themselves into the Lord.  When you look at the fruit, you can tell if the trees are true.  You must dig deeply.

Each of our minds must come to life.  If we don’t, our bodies will be used improperly and rot.  If our minds are dull, nothing will work out.  Our bodies move and take action according to how our hearts move.  Just like water becomes hotter the more you boil it, in the same way, the more you work and focus your mind, it will become hotter.  Then you can do things properly.

The mind, if it is left alone for a thousand years, it gains nothing.  The mind is like time.  It is like water that flows.  If you do nothing with it, you will get nothing.  We must take action.

When praying, close your eyes and cut off all the things you were looking at, focus your spirit’s eyes, and focus only on heaven as you pray.  God is watching you and Jesus is next to you.  When you pray and work on things, you must gather your mind and then do them. Do you think the Lord does not know if we are focusing our minds or not when we pray?  If we don’t focus our minds when we’re praying, then our thoughts will scatter and satans will invade.  We must pray like threading a needle, then we can go into deep prayer.  Focus your mind and then when you pray you will enter the spiritual world.

To hear the voice of the Lord during prayer, we must focus our minds and give all our heart, will, and life.  We must focus our minds like walking across a log bridge.  To be awake means to be alive.  To be alive means your bodies and spirits are working in the domain of light.  It refers to people who are living connected with the Lord.

Don’t let your lives be idle.  Come to your senses and run to your destination early, then rest and enjoy.  There are still people who don’t understand and don’t take action.  The Lord is right at the door nudging you and speaking to you.  If we live this most urgent time without coming to our senses, we will not meet the Lord that people have waited 2000 years for.  The Lord said that if he gave us 2000 years of time, is that not enough time?  How much more time should he give?

The time is urgent, the time has come!  We must behave as people who are running out of a house that is on fire.  Let’s say a ship is sinking and it takes 3 hours for the ship to completely be sunk.  If there are 3000 people on the ship, it takes 3 hours for everyone to evacuate.  So whether they are people by the door or far away from the door, they must hurry in order to live.  In this way, whether the Lord is coming in 2, 3, or even many more years, there is not much time if you are going to prepare everything.  You must prepare with your life on the line.

Jesus tells us things are urgent because we must complete that day’s work each day.  The problem is not when Jesus is coming.  People who do not do each day’s work, will not meet Jesus even if he comes 20 years later.  If you do not complete each day’s work that day, then it gets backed up and there will not be enough time to get everything done.  This is why we must quickly do things now and this is why the times are so urgent.

Prayers of wicked people brings judgment, but prayers of righteous people get answered.  The Lord will make things happen for those who are righteous.  This is why we must pray. If you want to save your lives, you must pray.
