Scriptures: Genesis 28:10-22, Joshua 1:1-9

The land where Joshua and the second generation Israelites wanted to go was Canaan where their ancestors had lived. At that time each of the 7 tribes living there had their own kings which totaled 31. They were carrying on their family line from long ago and living thinking of the land of Canaan as their hometown. Thus, although it was the land where the ancestors of the Israelites had lived, they did not just hand the land back over to Joshua and the second generation. As a result, Joshua had to lead the second generation of the Israelites that Moses had led and fight.

From the people’s perspective of that time, it looked like it would be impossible that 31 kings living in Canaan would give the land back to Joshua and the second generation Israelites. However, it was possible because God, the owner of the land, gave the deed of the land of Canaan to Joshua and the second generation with ‘the Word.’ Even if God gave the land to them, the 31 kings did not just give it up to them just because they went there. Everyone had to unite as one and fight to reclaim their land that belonged to their ancestors.

Although God blessed them, they didn’t just gain things without putting in any effort. They had to take action according to God’s words; they needed to fight for things that they needed to fight for boldly; they needed to set conditions for things that they needed to set conditions for and take action, then they could earn them. In order to receive things that God has given to us, we should believe it absolutely and take action boldly, believe that the Giver is with us in all circumstances and won’t leave us, and take action till the end. Only then, we can receive them as God has promised us and blessed us and according to His words.

You must know that it takes a process and a lot of hard work even if it is something that is given by God and the Lord. Therefore, everyone, you should not try to gain things while being comfortable. It is the same for evangelism. Although God has given a life to you, you must boldly preach the Word, fight and win. Even if God has given something to you, only when you put a lot of effort and manage it, you can earn it.

The Lord said, “I have made into the land of the gospel the places where you have set your foot with the gospel, with academics and while working at your workplaces. Therefore, believe in my words and take action boldly with me. My Father and I will take action till the end without leaving you.” You should always hang the Word around your neck, store it in your head and take action. Then if you plead with the Lord and preach the Word boldly, according to his words, “I will surely give you lives on which you have set your foot with the Word,” they will become Providence lives. Only when you petition and pray will the Lord make you meet those whom he has raised.

The Lord said, “I have given you lives that you have set your foot on with the Word.” Therefore you should believe in the Lord’s words and fight boldly and win with the truth so that you can take those lives back. As God has given you all of these things such as the sanctuary of learning, workplaces, bases of livelihood as the land for the gospel of Providence and all the places where you lay and treaded as the base for the gospel, you should preach the Word of this time period boldly. God and the Lord are with us and never leave you, so I bless that you will take the land of lives that God and the Lord have given you and make them into the lives of heaven.

I have spoken to you that even if God promised and gave something to us, we must work hard and struggle in order to obtain it and that even after obtaining it, we must develop it and use it 100% according to the Lord’s intention. If we do not develop it or use it according to God’s idea and the Lord’s intention, it will not shine nor will it become great. If we do not use it meaningfully, we lose it.

<Jesus’ Words> ‘I will be with you’ means that you are my beloved and my own hence ‘I will do things considering you as mine.’ In whatever environment or situation you may be in, I help you and I am with you according to each environment and situation. So always be on your best behavior and boldly take action with hope and a positive mind-set. Even if I give you a promise and bless you, time has to pass and also hardships may get in your way as you carry out the work. You should carry it out while pleading with me and asking me always. Then your hope will come true under my purpose.

As for the things of the present, gain them by enthusiastically making them. You need to work hard and overcome difficulties 100% in obtaining what I have granted you. Also, you need to do the work and take action in order to feel happy from working and in order to enjoy heaven in the process. You should acquire them while toiling, persevering, overcoming, and taking action in order to keep them from Satan’s stealing hands, to not fail to value them, to use them valuably, to enjoy them with joy and delight, and to utilize them for a long time.

Even though I have permitted each one of you to become my bride, you should make yourself mine by pulling your body and heart out of the domain of death and out of the world by doing righteous deeds according to my will in order to make yourself into my eternal temple of life. Also, just as you made the Natural Temple of WMD, make all of your mind, heart, thoughts, soul, and spirit beautiful, magnificent and mysterious. To make them beautiful, you need to harmonize them to make them magnificent. You need to do things on a big scale, and to make them mysterious, you need to become spiritual.

You should listen to my words and make yourself with love, with faith, with gentleness, with action, with evangelism, with management, and with a good heart, according to your gifts and ability. Make yourself 100% in all ways of the various aspects as you make yourself into my bride’s body. Then you will become perfect.

Do not say that you do not have confidence. Do not say that you cannot do it because you lack resources, either. You can do all things if you do them in the One who gives you power. As long as you are willing, I will work upon you, so you will do things fast and you will be able to do it.

More than anything, you must make your body into my bride. This is my eternal hope and your eternal hope. If you do not make yourselves, even after I gave you my permission, then you will eternally remain as spirits of darkness. If you listen to my Word and put it to action, all of you will be able to perfect your bodies. Believe and take action. I am the Lord who loves you and is still fulfilling his promises, even to this day.
