Scriptures: Ephesians 6:24, Hebrews 13:8

At the predawn of this day, I prayed calling upon God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus, who are the everlasting and never-changing Beings. I realized even more piercingly how precious and tremendous They, the everlasting and never-changing Beings, are, and I confessed that in front of the eternal Trinity, human beings are no more than a lump of dirt that is compared to the Earth.

I said to the Lord, “Human beings are fickle and ever-changing according to their environment, like the clouds in the sky, like leaves, and like the wind. They are so simple-minded. Their hearts and actions also are extremely simple and change too quickly. What if the spirits of such people go to Heaven and continue to live in that way? Why do you try so hard to take their spirits to Heaven, putting so much devotion into protecting them, teaching them, and loving them?”

At that moment, God enlightened me.

“I, Jehovah, am like pure gold. It is not that pure gold sits and does nothing, keeping its hue unchanged. The glow of pure gold remains the same while it is used in all kinds of necessary areas. Likewise, I, Jehovah also exist without changing while carrying out hundreds of thousands of works of Heaven, the spiritual world, and the physical world, and while taking care of the earthly people, heavenly people, and all creation. I created human beings in a way that you would remain unchanged if you listen to My Word of life, put it into action perfectly, become united with Jesus whom I sent, and live being united with the person whom Jesus sent in this time period. The reason why you are fickle and ever-changing is that you, the imperfect one, do not become one with the perfect one.

You must never turn bad while leading a life of faith. It is truly difficult to be restored. You can repent indeed, but rebuilding merit takes as much time as you spent in the past to build up the merit which has now gone. Satan makes you give up through your sins. Thus Satan makes you a person of the domain of death completely and stamps the seal of death on you. If this happens, the Lord said, even He cannot do anything.

If a person doesn’t go bad in the heart and thoughts but takes action according to the Lord’s Will, their spirit will transform into the heavenly form through their actions, and become a raptured spirit, so they will never turn bad. Then, they become an everlasting and never-changing spirit.

When God created human beings’ bodies He created their spirits also. Therefore, as long as human spirits achieve salvation, they will become everlasting and never-changing beings and live in Heaven forever. Saved spirits live so long that their lifespan cannot be compared to the lifespan of the universe or the Earth. Human beings have spirits that can be everlasting and never-changing. So then, how valuable human beings are!

I became so afraid and anxious because you could change for the worse any time for whatever reason even while leading a strong life of faith. So I received this message from the Lord and I am delivering it to everyone today with a hope that you will never turn bad but remain unchanged forever.

October 12^th 2011 Wednesday Message Summary

Scriptures: Revelation 11:3-6

God created both the physical world and the spiritual world in the counterpart system so that the counterparts would co-exist having a give-and-take relationship with each other. In regards to individual human beings, God created them as the body and the spirit so that the two would co-exist being related to each other. Also, God created the physical and the spiritual worlds and made them exist while loving and having exchanges with each other. God created human body parts also in pair for them to exist with a give-and-take relationship. God created all the things in the Earth and in the universe in this way as well.

As it says in today’s main scriptures, in testifying and teaching about God and Jesus also, God elected two people—on the left and on the right—and had them do their mission. God elected two people, sent them, and had them become the witnesses of God and Jesus in their time period. The two witnesses preached the Word of their time period, which had been received from God and Jesus, and they testified about the works of God and Jesus. Furthermore, God had His two witnesses appoint two people each as their own witnesses to testify for them.

One of these two witnesses was chosen from among those who were physically related and they were appointed to testify about external and physical things. The other was chosen from among those who are related in faith to testify about internal and spiritual things. Whether in the past or in the present, the way God and the Lord work is the same.

When Jesus came to the Earth in the flesh, also, God elected two olive trees and two witnesses before Jesus in order to make Jesus’ path straight. He elected one as an external witness from His physical blood line and elected the other as an internal witness from the line of faith.

As the external witness, God had already predestined ‘John the Baptist’, who was physically related to Jesus, a kinsman, and God had raised him. Later on, God taught him through revelations that Jesus was the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, and that Jesus was the Son of God. As the internal witness, God elected ‘Peter’, who was from Jesus’ bloodline of faith. Peter clearly knew that Jesus was the Messiah. So he testified with conviction that Jesus was the Son of God and the Christ.

At the time of Moses, also, God appointed two olive trees and two witnesses before Moses. One witness God elected was ‘Aaron,’ the priest, from Moses’ bloodline and God had him testify and speak for Moses as his external witness. As the other witness, God elected ‘Hur’ from Moses’ bloodline of faith and had him testify and speak for Moses internally. The people heard their words, and following Aaron and Hur’s examples, they also became ‘two witnesses’ and preached externally and internally.

All of you should testify united with one another, knowing that God and Jesus make history in the same way in this time period, too. You should not only believe, learn, and follow, but you should testify. Only when you testify will the gospel spread and will you be able to carry out the believers’ mission of making a great history.

Scriptures: Revelation 11:3-6

In today’s main Scriptures, Jesus says that He will give authority to His two witnesses and that they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. He calls them ‘the two olive trees’ and ‘the two lampstands’ of the earth. He says, “If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies.” He says that anyone who wants to harm them must die. He continues, “They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.”

In the time of the Old Testament the two olive trees and the two witnesses before God were ‘Moses’ and ‘Elijah.’

- Moses testified about God and spoke to Egypt, a nation which was in the domain of Satan and which did not let the people of God go. But Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, didn’t concede Moses’ words. Therefore, God sent down ten plagues upon Egypt through Moses. God gave authority to Moses, His witness. God said, “I will send plagues to Egypt, so proclaim it to them!” At this, the ‘fire of the Word’ came from Moses’ mouth, and just as God had said, Egypt was struck by ten plagues. Thus God led the Israelites out of Egypt.

- On the other hand, the Prophet Elijah, together with God, brought down disasters upon those who didn’t believe in God but worshiped idols instead and who also tormented, harmed, and oppressed the believers of God. In this way, Elijah destroyed the idol-worshippers of that time period. By doing so, he testified for God and ultimately made the idol-worshippers kneel down before God and worship Him in complete submission. It was only a few words of fire. But the reality turned out exactly as Elijah, the witness of God, said. Also, the fire of the Word came out of Elijah’s mouth and destroyed all of the 850 prophets of Baal and Asherah of that time.

In this way, the two representative people-of-mission of the earth whom God sent for the Old Testament were ‘Moses’ and ‘Elijah.’ Moses made a relatively more external history and testified about God’s Word through reality. On the other hand, Elijah made history internally and testified as the witness of God of that time, preaching God’s Word and testifying about His working.

Regardless of the time period, only the one whom God and Jesus sent and whom God and Jesus work with, knows about the Almighty. Only the one sent by God can teach people, as God’s witness, and tell them about how God and Jesus carry out Their plans.

Both God and Jesus have always appointed two people in each generation. God chose two witnesses, helped them, and fulfilled the Will through them. The two witnesses of God and Jesus preached the Word and testified about the deeds of God and Jesus, and fulfilled the Will of Heaven of their time period.

When the Israelites were in the process of returning to the land of Canaan, the two olive trees and two witnesses before God were ‘Moses’ and ‘Joshua’. Moses led the Israelites from Egypt to the Desert of Zin, and Joshua led the Israelites from the Desert of Zin to the land of Canaan.

During the exodus from Egypt in Moses’ time God appointed ‘Moses’ and his elder brother ‘Aaron’ and worked through them. After Moses came to the Desert of Zin, during the time in the desert God appointed ‘Aaron’ and ‘Hur’ before Moses. God made them become the two witnesses and had them testify about Moses. Aaron, as Moses’ elder brother, testified about Moses externally, and Hur, as Moses’ spiritual brother, testified about Moses internally.

When we look at the entire salvation history by dividing it into the Old Testament and the New Testament; in the Old Testament time, ‘Moses’ received God’s Law and testified about God; and in the New Testament time, ‘Jesus’ testified about God. When the New Testament time began during Jesus’ life, the two witnesses before Jesus the Savior were ‘John the Baptist,’ who was relatively on the side of Old Testament, and ‘Peter,’ the Lord’s first disciple, who had come to the new history. And then at the time of the New Testament history after John the Baptist died and after Jesus died through crucifixion, ‘Apostle Paul,’ the apostle of the New Testament, and the other ‘Lord’s disciples,’ became the two witnesses before Jesus and testified about Him.

Peter came to know that Jesus was the Lord clearly through realizing it himself, so the Lord, too, gave Peter a clear confirmation. And then the Lord sent Peter out to the people. When Peter, who was sent by the Lord, testified about the Lord with a clear understanding, many people believed in his words and followed. Only the one whom the Lord sent clearly and thoroughly knows about the Lord and only they can preach and teach as His witness. Apostle Paul was a person whom Jesus evangelized. After Jesus died, He appeared to Paul in spirit and worked upon him. Afterwards, the Lord made Paul His witness and sent him to preach the gospel.

Like this, in each time period, two olive trees and two witnesses did the work of God and Jesus, and carried out the Will of their time period together with God and Jesus.

It is the same in this time period, too. The Lord elects two olive trees and two witnesses before the man-of-mission whom the Lord sent in this time period, and makes them testify for the man-of-mission. The Lord elects one of two witnesses among his brothers related by blood and has him testify for the man-of-mission externally and physically. The Lord elects the other witness among his siblings in faith and has them testify for him internally and spiritually. The witness who comes earlier testifies about the physical aspect as a physical witness, and the person who comes later testifies for the spiritual aspect with the mission of being a spiritual witness.

Before God, Moses was the witness who testified for God through physical deeds and the Law. As for Jesus, He testified for God centering on the spiritual aspect and saved people’s spirits by making their bodies take action. Moses brought the salvation of the body and the Word of the Law. Jesus brought the salvation of the spirit and the Word of faith.

October 5^th 2011 Wednesday Message Summary

Scriptures: Matthew 10:26, Matthew 13:35, John 11:25-26, Acts 1:8-11

If you misunderstand the meaning of the Lord’s words, both your spirit and body end up in the wrong world. As for the ‘meaning of words,’ there is the meaning ‘in terms of language,’ and there is the meaning ‘in a spiritual sense.’ The ‘spiritual meaning of words’ refers to understanding the message of the Lord’s Word. This is a different level from understanding the meaning of words in a linguistic sense. The Lord speaks in ‘parables,’ and He speaks ‘spiritually.’ If Jesus speaks about the ‘spirit’ but we understand it physically and think that it’s about ‘the body,’ we will only prepare our body, thinking that our body will rapture into Heaven.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 says, “Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.” People misunderstand its meaning and they believe that the dead bodies will come back to life and be raptured and that our bodies will rapture and go to Heaven. Here, the ‘trumpet’ refers to the ‘Word of the time period.’ It is saying that the dead spirits in the domain of death will come alive into the domain of life upon hearing the trumpet sound of the Word of the time period, and that the spirits of those who hear the Word and take action upon it will transform into the heavenly form.

In Revelation 2:10, Jesus said, “You will undergo tribulation for ten days.” People understood it as ten days, according to the way time is calculated in the world and they believed that the persecution would end in ten days. But when the persecution didn’t end even after ten days, they became discouraged and said that the Lord’s Word was wrong. The ‘ten days’ here may mean ‘ten months’ or ‘ten years,’ as one day can be calculated as one month or one year. But they failed to understand the true meaning of the words and simply calculated it as literally ‘ten days.’

In Matthew 7:6, Jesus said, “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” Reading this, they fail to understand the true meaning and ask a wrong question like, “Why would anyone give sacred things to dogs or throw pearls to pigs at all?” The true meaning of these words is this: “If you give the Lord’s Word of life to people who are like dogs and pigs, who block and slander without knowing the value of the Word, they will obstruct, oppose, and persecute. So be careful.”

Now, when people read Genesis 5:27, where it says that Methuselah lived until 969 years old, they misunderstand the meaning because they don’t know how people’s ages were calculated at that time. At that time, calendars were not invented yet, so the method of calculating ages was different. Ever since the invention of the calendar, a month has been considered to be from the first day of a month to the full moon, plus from the full moon to the first day of the next month. But in the ancient time, they considered a month as one year and calculated dates and ages accordingly. If we take the ages that were calculated in the method of the old time period and then recalculate them in the current method used since the invention of the calendar, we will see that the people of the Old Testament also lived for the duration of time that is similar to the lifespan of modern day people.

When Jesus says through a revelation, “I am here. So look carefully,” people think that the Lord will be visible to their eyes and only wait for the Lord to appear before them. The Lord meant to tell them to look carefully since He would appear in the form of the Word through the man-of-mission of the time period, but they failed to understand the meaning of His words correctly.

Here are 4 ways to understand the meaning of what the Lord says.

1. First, understand correctly the meaning of ‘the parables’ as God and Jesus, spoke through the prophets, central figures, or apostles in the Bible. Then you will be able to understand the meaning of what He says almost completely.

2. Second, in order to understand the meaning of the Lord’s words from a different aspect, understand and realize, keeping ‘the times’ in mind.

3. Third, understand the meaning of what the Lord says, whether He speaks of ‘the spirit’ or of ‘the body.’

4. Fourth, Jesus, speaks words that pertain to ‘the times (Time, Times, and Half a Time)’ So I hope you will understand what He tells you.

Additionally, human beings have both ‘the spirit’ and ‘the body.’ Therefore, you need to examine what the Lord says, by dividing and discerning it, whether it is about the spirit or the body. The Bible is fulfilled in both ways (physical and spiritual); therefore, you must not interpret it in only one way.

March 23^rd 2011 Wednesday Message

Scripture: Genesis 18:1-8

During my 20’s, when I prayed in the mountains, I prayed for a very long time that Jesus would give me grace. At that time, I received an answer as though I had clearly remembered where I put something I lost. The Lord said, “Realizing is grace.” After receiving that answer, I prayed to the Lord as I called out to him. I asked him, “Lord, realizing what is grace?”

Realizing and knowing is grace. If you realize and know, you will rejoice, the fire of the Holy Spirit will come into your heart, and your heart will be set on fire, and since you will take action receiving that fire, you will live the life of grace. Also, saving you from the verge of death is grace. Realizing what kind of grace you received is also grace.

Even if people received grace, they don’t realize that they have received grace. Therefore, realizing that they have received grace is grace.

If all of you think about what kind of grace you’ve received from the Heavens in the past, and if you pray about it, you will remember. There are many things that we miss even though we’ve received grace from God and the Lord in such short ‘Oh my!’ moments. When we remember that, there is abundant grace. Therefore, make sure to think about it.

People just receive grace, but they don’t know that they’ve actually received it. This is a heart of Satan, and an ignorant heart, so you must repent. This is the sin of not giving thanks. We are people who are indebted to God. We need to know what grace is, and we need to have knowledge about grace. Then, we will know when we receive grace, and we will also live a life of grace and be thankful.

Truly believing in the omniscient, omnipotent, and eternal God, loving Him, and living within Him, that in itself is ‘eternal grace.’ Keeping your faith from being broken and living your life with faith in Jesus, is a great grace. Your body being alive this moment is a great and significant grace of life. The greatest grace is that, among the six billion people on the face of the earth, you are the ones who hear the Word of the center of this time period and live as the counterparts, the brides, loving Jesus. A wonderful grace is that Jesus, refreshingly preaches to you at every sermon time. You are listening to the Word of life directly. If that is the case, is he not giving you much greater grace than any other place in the global world?

If God does not show His favor to the earthly world through nature and the creation, all lives that breathe on the globe will be unable to live, and they will be destroyed. Furthermore, if the omnipotent God does not give the grace of life to people, even if they were to receive the grace of creation, they will be unable to receive the eternal grace of life. As for their bodies, they will be unable to survive because of accidents, diseases, or a variety of problems, which resulted from their ignorance in the world.

Give thanks everyday to God the Creator, to the Savior, and to the Holy Spirit. Give glory to Heaven always in your daily life. Do not live just for the world, but serve the Creator, delight in Him, and take joy in putting His Word to practice. This is the purpose of human life; this is the life of a person who has received grace; and this is a life of walking on the eternal path of life.

Do not say that you are losing time because you are going to church. Instead, you need to invest all your time in keeping your salvation and grace. Once you lose grace or salvation, it will become difficult even for Jesus to save you. This is how difficult it is to return once you lose salvation. Therefore, even if you will suffer all your life and die as someone nameless, do not forfeit faith and do not disown Jesus.

The Trinity gives grace to each person according to their needs. Thus, do not have greed for the graces that other people receive, but ask for the favors that are fitting for you and receive them. When you have received grace, you will fight against evil spirits with it, and you will win. You will also gain spiritual power in your existence. Realize. Pray and find the graces that Jesus has given to you. Also, read the Bible. You will see in the Bible those who received God’s grace.

Value the works that Jesus entrusted to you and carry them out, delighting in them. The works you do become your righteousness and let your spirits shine. For the works you do, you will receive great rewards from Heaven, and you will thrive on earth as well.

Painful training is also grace. Even tribulations and persecutions are blessings and grace, if you undergo them within Jesus. It is because you will receive not only physical blessings but also eternal glory and blessings because of them. Even if there are persecutions, difficulties, or hardships; if you overcome them within Jesus, you can gain a lot of things through them.

Please make sure that each of you reflects upon what kinds of graces that God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus has given you. Realize, and write them down in a notebook. I hope you will lead a life of grace, always being greatly moved, thankful, and rejoicing.

Title:

Scriptures: Romans 8:5-14 (key verse is 13)

If we really want to receive God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, we must fully put to practice the word they give us. We must be spiritual people in order to receive the Trinity that is also spiritual. It is impossible for our physical bodies to recognize the Lord, only our spirits can.

The spirit is a spiritual entity. The spirit loves the Lord and it becomes one with the Lord. The spirit must be one with the Lord in order to take action then everything will be done in a way that is not too late. So many problems happen when things are too late.

If you look at just one day, if you center just on the spirit, you’ll have sufficient time to do all the things on your list. This is to do according to God’s Will. On days when you are physical and centered on the body, you fail, you’re late, and things flop. This is what happens when you become physically centered.

The spirit prepares things beforehand. The body does things slowly. If you leave things up to the body, things will fail 100%. The body does everything in ways that doesn’t work out, the body is foolish. The people who do things according to what the Lord says then this makes us the brides of God and he Lord’s counterpart.

Among spiritual people, not one prays a little. If you are truly spiritual, you pray a lot. People of the spirit do not consult with their bodies; instead you consult with the Lord throughout the day. Spiritual people always give glory to God through spiritual praising and singing.

The body thinks only about the body. The body is very selfish. It thinks and speaks according to what the body wants. Whenever a situation comes, the body thinks how to do things according to the bodies wishes. No matter who you are, you must kill the physical nature. The physical body gets angry, is impatient, etc. The more and more you completely demolish your physical nature, it leaves room for the spirit to grow. Day to day, take a look at your bad character and push it away. When the spirit grows, it becomes closer and closer to the Lord.

People who are physical seek food, shelter, and clothes. People who have become really physical are like 1000 miles away from the Lord. When you let the spirit take control, you become really close to the Lord.

The body is good at one thing; committing sins. The body gives openings to satan. If you live physically, it is painful for the body and painful for the spirit. You easily get angry and upset. People who do things following the physical nature, speak in ways that hurt people.

If you do the same bad things again and again, you haven’t fixed your physical nature. You still have things to repent for. Character is grace too. People who are humble and peaceful and peace makers are truly called Jesus’ bride.

Spiritual people are truly humble and truly loveable. People who are spiritual treat people with mercy, have grace filled words, etc. Only those who are spiritual will receive the Lord now and at the second coming. In the midst of our everyday lives, if we receive the Lord, we will receive his second coming.

The body is useless. It is the spirit that goes to heaven. We must live lives in which the body is transformed into the spirit. When you have an apple or peach, the most ideal way to preserve it is to eat it. Then the nutrients will attach to your bodies. Our bodies are like visible fruits. When the bodies do acts of righteousness, those acts of righteousness are absorbed by the spirit and it actually becomes a part of the spirit. If you just live, then like fruits, you will rot away.

We must do it with all of our hearts. If you don’t live spiritually, you cannot meet the Lord and you cannot accomplish each day’s work. The Lord does not acknowledge things that are done physically. Spiritually means to do it according to the Lord’s words. You must do it through the spirit. Physical people can’t do the things of God simply because it’s just too hard for them.

You must not do the things the Lord told you through the word not to do. Physical people are not pleasing to the Lord’s heart. Wherever you go, treat everybody with the Lord’s heart. Be equipped with good character. You must do well and behave well. Be patient, think and act and speak spiritually.
