			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>March 7th 2010 Sunday Message Summary</p>
<p><strong>Scriptures: Matthew 12:30 </strong></p>
<p>Those who think differently from the Lord are those who oppose the Lord.</p>
<p>Do you know who are not in accordance with Jesus? They are people who have different thoughts than Jesus’.  Those who think differently in reality are people who oppose Jesus without even knowing.  If you don’t have Jesus’ thoughts every single hour of every day, you end up opposing Jesus without even knowing.</p>
<p>What we should do is pray and verify anything and everything that we do.  Check to see if your thoughts are the same as the Lord’s thoughts.  If we work for the Lord and end up having different thoughts, we cause Jesus to be anxious. In all things that we do, we must pray.  Ask the Lord what he thinks about everything we set our minds on.</p>
<p>Often times even if there are people working for the Lord, if they have different thoughts, they will end up opposing those who are working for the Lord.  If you want to have the same thoughts with the Lord, we must pray.</p>
<p>First thing we must do is read the Bible deeply.  Understand the Lord’s thoughts based on the Bible.  Second, pray deeply and come to know the Lord’s thoughts.  Third, listen to the word and understand the Lord’s thoughts and take action.</p>
<p>The thoughts of the Lord has to become our own thoughts.  We must love Jesus in order to have the same thoughts.  When 2 people fall in love, their thoughts become one.  If they hate and misunderstand each other and insist on their own thoughts, they will not have the same thoughts.  If our thoughts differ, our actions will also differ.</p>
<p>The difference between a person who is rapture and a person who is not.</p>
<p>Those who fail to rapture are people who: 1.  A person who has lived on earth differently from the thoughts of the Lord. 2. A person who did not love the Lord, hear His Word, and put it to action with all their mind, will and life.  3. A person who did not strive to live according to the thoughts of the spirit and the Lord, only dragged by the body, without giving up their own perspectives regardless of the precious Word of the Lord about the Second Coming that the Lord has preached despite undergoing severe sufferings. 4. A body that has failed to do its responsibilities, so it is ashamed before its own spirit as well as before the Lord; this person will only regret.</p>
<p>Now is a time when your thoughts must quickly be the same as Jesus’.  We must prepare.  Don’t live your life simply believing. Instead, every hour at the crack of dawn, see if your thoughts are the same.  Check to see if your time and Jesus’ time matches.  You need to act in this way every day and every moment.  Based on the righteousness of your body, your spirits will change.  Being prepared means your spirit needs to be ready through your body.  1.  Put to action absolutely what the Lord tells you to do through the word.  2.  You must pray and know Jesus’ heart.  3.  You have to carefully listen to the Sun/Wed/HSM/Revelation messages.  4.  You need to pour out all of your heart to loving Jesus extremely.  Then you will not be caught up with the wrong thoughts and be subjected to various temptations.  5.  Repent and receive the Holy Spirit.  6.  You must have the same thoughts as the Lord.  If you don’t, you will end up leaving.</p>
<p>The mentality must revive in order for the actions of the body to revive.  Think that if you cannot do it now, you will not be able to do it in the future.  Do it at all costs.  Now is a time we must only love the Lord with an absolute heart.  Sacrifice the love of the world. Take action now.</p>
<p>We must not live our lives assuming that it is the Lord’s will.  We must clearly verify all things.  Those who do things vaguely assuming will not have things work out.  You must verify and re-verify every day, every week, every month.  We need to ask and receive verification about everything that we do, then our thoughts and actions will be perfect.  Naturally, the Lord will work upon us and we will receive merit.</p>
<p>If we do things with different thoughts, there will be disunity.  Unity doesn’t occur when we do things based on our own thinking.  Each department and each church must check to see if they are running in line with the Lord and the teacher.</p>
<p>Everyone must become absolutely one centering on the Lord’s thoughts and obeying his word.  On the surface we might look united, but we must look at things spiritually.  Examine your own thoughts and your own heart.  It is the Lord’s work, so why don’t we do it according to his thoughts?  We must work united.</p>
<p>Control your mind and control your thoughts and control your hearts.  The mind must move first in order for the body to move.  View your mind as a formless inner being and control it.  Your mind must come to life in order for your body to come to life.  All problems come from your inability to control your mind.  Those who have committed sin in the body are judged as those who have committed sin in the mind because the mind causes the body to take action.</p>
<p>Without love, you cannot be rapture, you cannot fulfill salvation, and you cannot live with the Lord.  If you don’t love the Lord, you will leave the history of God.  Everything happens ultimately based on the love we have for the Lord.</p>
<p>At this time, we must unify with the Lord, then change will take place and then peace will come.</p>
<p>When you don’t have the Lord’s thoughts, you look at his will and judge that it is wrong and feel agonized.  But when you are in line with the Lord’s thoughts, you will go about with joy and hope.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>March 3<sup>rd</sup> 2010 Wednesday Message Summary</p>
<p><strong>Scriptures: Revelation 3, Key verses to recite ( Revelation 3:5, 3:12, 3:21) </strong></p>
<p>The Lord says, “You must obey my words and win, then I can do for you the things I want to do for you to my heart’s content.”</p>
<p>The Lord told the 7 churches that they must overcome, then the Lord would do for them what he has planned for them.  We too are in the same position as those 7 churches.  The Lord is speaking to us even now telling us to overcome like the 7 churches.  We must overcome and win by doing what is appropriate.  To those who overcome, he will give us what is appropriate for each of us individually.</p>
<p>To the church in Sardis, the Lord says they have a reputation for being alive, but they are dead.  Those who overcome will wear white linen and be recorded in the book of life.  There are those of us who are like the church in Sardis.  We must wake up and save the hearts and actions that are about to die.  We must be strong.  You can tell whether your faith is dying or not by the way you listen to the word.</p>
<p>People who have deeds that are not right are also people with dead faith.  People who talk but don’t take action are people who are dead.  People like these think according to their human physical nature.  People who are not united with the Sunday and Wednesday messages are dead people.  People who think the words of the Lord are merely people’s words are dead people.  People are considered to be either dead or alive by looking at their mentality and their actions.  We must do the right things and the clean things, repent, and fix it.</p>
<p>You must also pray for your spirits.  If you don’t pray for your spirits, they become fearful of satan.  Pray for your spirits to be strong by listening to the word, putting it into action, and praying for it.  Pray constantly for your spirits.  Your spirit is your bodies lover.</p>
<p>Keep your name from being erased in the book of life by waking up and saving and making a faith that is alive.  Those who overcome will surely not be erased from the book of life.  Some people’s names are also fading away because their lives of faith are like the church in Sardis. They practice their faith on the outside, but inside they are dead.  If they repent though, and live a proper life of faith, their names will be written clearly and will be acknowledged.</p>
<p>To the church in Philadelphia.  Make sure no one takes your crown.  Those who overcome and obey will become one of the pillars of God’s church and be a part of the new Jerusalem.  There are churches and people who are like the church of Philadelphia.  These people keep the Lord’s words even if they have little strength.  There are those who make the Lord proud by not denying the Lord and not denying the teacher even through intense trials and tribulations.</p>
<p>Physically, those who you’ve evangelized can also be your crown.  Just like parents wear the crown of their children.  As we live more righteous lives, we receive glory, missions, and honor.  Everything the Lord blesses you with can be called the physical crown.  This is why the Lord tells us to make sure that our crowns are not taken away by the persecutions and the satans.</p>
<p>The pillars in the temple of God have the name of Jesus.  These people will receive a great mission.  Those who overcome all tribulations, hardships and sufferings and do not deny the Lord will be made into pillars.</p>
<p>The church of Laodicea.  You are neither cold nor hot, therefore work hard and repent and work hard.  If we overcome, we will be able to sit on the throne just as Jesus sat on his father’s throne.  People’s who’s hearts that are not on the Lord’s side live lukewarm lives and the Lord will spit them out.</p>
<p>We must truly repent and turn around.  People don’t feel the spiritual world, but it’s real.  We must read the word every day and realize and know.  Be either hot or cold.   In life, we either sit or we stand.  Living a life that is neither sitting or standing is like living a life that is neither hot or cold.  There’s no purpose for being lukewarm. Live your life faithfully and intensely, then it is easy, hopeful, and will not be difficult.  If we live with intensity, our lives will be less difficult to live. You must really fix your mentality, your heart, and your character.  In the world too, people who are lukewarm never succeed in life and are just like a person running in a wheel.</p>
<p>Once you’ve repented, you must now take action and do things in a fiery way.  Do the things that you didn’t do until now.  If all you do is realize your wrongs and cry about it, there is no benefit at all.  You must take action.</p>
<p>People who live physically calculate physically.  They think that they lack nothing in terms of living and in terms of faith.  The Lord asks, “Don’t you see anything?  You are spiritually blind.  Isn’t yours a pitiful life?  Isn’t yours a poor life?  I see that you are living unable to realize because you didn’t eat the spiritual food well and didn’t live taking proper action.”</p>
<p>-Look and see if you are living a life of thanksgiving, hot or cold.  Are you really thankful?</p>
<p>-Look and see if you are living a life of evangelizing, hot or cold.</p>
<p>-Look and see if you are loving your brothers and sisters and forgiving them, hot or cold.</p>
<p>-Look to see if you’ve done the morning prayer every day, hot or cold.</p>
<p>-Look to see if you are keeping the service time.</p>
<p>-Look to see if you have been hot or cold in regards to your health.</p>
<p>-Look to see if you are doing your missions, hot or cold.</p>
<p>-Look to see if you are hot or cold to your brothers till the end.</p>
<p>-Look to see if you are hot or cold, loving the Lord.  This is the most important.</p>
<p>The Lord sees everything.  Check to see if you really have been loving the Lord.</p>
<p><strong>The Lord gives us what He needs to give us as He wishes as promised in the bible as long as we do our part. </strong>The Lord said,<strong> “You must overcome. Then I can give you all the things I have to give you as much as I wish.”</strong></p>

All of you can receive revelations form the Lord.  Those who listen to, accept, and keep the words of revelations are those who have received revelations.   
The Lord first spoke to the church in Ephesus.  The Lord told them that if they lost their fiery love, he would remove their lamp stand.  He’s telling us to restore our first love and if we don’t, there are consequences.  Lamp stand means the church.  Those who lost their first love will be removed from the church.  Our faith will stumble and we will find ourselves stop coming to church.  The lamp stand also refers to a mission; the mission of brides.  It means they have been removed from holiness and will no longer be the brides of the Lord. ]]></description>

<p>February 28th 2010 Sunday Message Summary</p>
<p>Scriptures: Revelation 2 (Key verses &#8211; 7, 10, 17, 27), Read: Revelation 1~3 </p>
<p>In your life of faith, each person has their own tribulations, various hardships, temptations from satan, people, and themselves.  Each of us must overcome these things in Jesus’ name.  If we overcome, he will be able to give to us freely everything he wants to give us.  </p>
<p>The Lord called those who were in charge of the seven churches in Revelations as angels.  Each church is referred to as a lamp stand.  When Jesus spoke to the churches, he wanted them to take action immediately after listening attentively.  He gave Apostle John the message to give to the churches so they could quickly take action.   </p>
<p>All of you can receive revelations form the Lord.  Those who listen to, accept, and keep the words of revelations are those who have received revelations.   </p>
<p>The Lord first spoke to the church in Ephesus.  The Lord told them that if they lost their fiery love, he would remove their lamp stand.  He’s telling us to restore our first love and if we don’t, there are consequences.  Lamp stand means the church.  Those who lost their first love will be removed from the church.  Our faith will stumble and we will find ourselves stop coming to church.  The lamp stand also refers to a mission; the mission of brides.  It means they have been removed from holiness and will no longer be the brides of the Lord.  </p>
<p>Everyone can reflect and see how they first fell in love with the Lord.  When we first started to come around.  You need to love the Lord as intensely as you first did when you came to this history.  We have truly lost our first love the Lord says.  If you lost your first love, think of where, when, and how you lost it.  If you don’t restore your first love, the lamp stand will be removed.  We must repent until we move the Lord and he allows us to be forgiven. If we repent and restore ourselves and love Jesus even more passionately than before, he will show us fiery love and allow us to eat from the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God. </p>
<p>You have to do things just as you did the first time.  In this way, you will be able to restore your first love. Repentance alone is not enough.  You have to love the Lord pouring out your whole mind and action.  Those who do this will be able to eat the fruit. The tree of life is the Lord and the fruit is his love.   </p>
<p>The love of the world diminishes to nothing over time, that is why it is an empty love.  Think about it, when you grow older, you won’t be able to enjoy the love of the world because it no longer gives us joy, pleasure, and excitement anymore.  It is only this time that people cry out.  Yet the love of the Lord continues forever and it is not an empty love.   </p>
<p>What were the Nicolaitans mentioned in the letter?  They were a cult that confused the doctrines of the Lord.  In the same way, we must not take part of any doctrine or books or writings of those who go against the Lord’s absolute doctrines. </p>
<p>If you fail to regain the first love, keeping faith becomes harder and harder so you won’t be able to endure.  Therefore, find out from where you started to lose your first love, and turn around.  </p>
<p>To the church in Smyrna.  The Lord tells us that though we think we are poor, we are actually rich.  He tells us not to be deceived by those who are actually controlled by satan.  He also tells us to overcome the tribulations and persecutions and we will be given the crown of life. These crowns of life remain as yours and you wear them forever only if you overcome.  You will also not be hurt by the second death if you overcome.  The second death is the death of the spirit.  The pain spirits go through when they go to hell is the second death.  If you are spared from the second death, it means you will not end up going to hell. The first death is the pain we go through with our bodies, but if we overcome, we will not end up going through the second death. </p>
<p>If the Lord had not forgiven all of us, we would have received the second death.  But we must never sin again and we must diligently repent for everything that we did wrong.  Now that the Lord has forgiven us, we must repent even more and restore our first love.  Then we will be able to walk the path of life and be able to restore ourselves.   </p>
<p>What is more urgent than waiting is to be prepared.  The Lord will certainly come, but only those who are ready will receive him.  We don’t know the exact day of the Lord’s return, but we know that we must do it urgently.  Despite what pains we go through, we must push through it and then we will receive the crown of life and be spared from the second death.  </p>
<p>To the church in Pergamum.  We must repent if we have held on to other teachings of the world.  To those who overcome, we will receive the hidden manna and the white stone with a name written on it.  In this time period, there are people who look down on the word and teach other things besides the Lord’s teachings.  Those who are doing wrongful deeds know who they are.  Therefore the Lord declares to everyone that we must repent.  When we doubt the word or water it down or twist it to our own thoughts, that is wrong and like doubting the word.  These types of people are like Judas Iscariot.  We must overcome, discard the wrong teachings, and defeat it.   </p>
<p>What is the manna?  It is actual physical food and also spiritual food.  It was first the delicious food that the Lord rained down from heaven to feed the Israelites in the time of the Old Testament.  The Lord gives such physical food to those who overcome.  The manna also means the spiritual food and the spiritual word for our spirits.  If we don’t keep these words and discard them, then the Lord will cut us off from the manna both physically and spiritually.   </p>
<p>What is the white stone?  The white stone refers to the Lord.  As brides of the Lord, we must only receive the words of the Lord. A white stone is the Lord, a new name written on it is the word of the Lord.  The Lord said that no one knows the name written on it unless they receive the white stone.  It means the mission of the word is given to one person and no one else.   </p>
<p>To the church in Thyatira.  We must not accept Jezebel and repent.  Then we will receive the iron scepter to rule the nations and receive the morning star.  The Lord commended this church and also rebuked them.  Jezebel was the wife of King Ahab that led people to worship other gods.  Those who worship idols will be cast on a bed of sufferings; various diseases and even death.  When the Lord tells us to repent, we must repent.  The Lord can see through to our hearts.  We can deceive people, but we cannot deceive the Lord.  Keep your faith!  Those who are possessed by evil spirits are like Jezebel.  Among people of God’s History, some have left and accepted Jezebel.  Think about in your own life if you’ve accepted any teachings or words other than the words preached by the Lord.  You should not live your life of faith centering on anyone else.   </p>
<p>If a person accepts another who loves them sexually, they are those who have accepted Jezebel.  They are given a chance to repent, but if they don’t, they will be cast on a bed of suffering.  You must truly offer repentance to the Lord.  </p>
<p>The iron scepter is the word of life from the Lord.  If you receive the iron scepter, you will be able to defeat satan.  The morning star symbolizes the Lord.  Those who have received the word are those who have received the Lord.   </p>
<p>The Lord said, “Each person must overcome the tribulation and persecution, hardship and pain. They must overcome Satan and temptation, sexual love and money. They must overcome fame and everything else that they put more importance on than Me, Jesus. Then I will be able to freely give what I desire to give them.”  </p>
<p>When you go home today, read Revelation chapter one through three.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Summary
Today’s message will be about the mind, the mentality, and the thoughts. God’s history is a history which makes us control and revive the mind. The mind and the mentality is the source of life; it is the key, the core of life. People who are born with a physical body receive rapture through the seed of the mind. The seed called the mind allows the body to take action. Through the actions of the body, our spirits become alive. By this happening, when the archangel blows the final trumpet, our transformed spirits will become rapture and transform once again into the heavenly spirit.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>February 24th 2010 Wednesday Message Summary</p>
<p><strong>Scriptures: 1Thesselonians 5:23, Ephesians 6:10-18, Mathew 5:1-12 </strong></p>
<p>Today’s message will be about the mind, the mentality, and the thoughts. God’s history is a history which makes us control and revive the mind. The mind and the mentality is the source of life; it is the key, the core of life. People who are born with a physical body receive rapture through the seed of the mind. The seed called the mind allows the body to take action. Through the actions of the body, our spirits become alive. By this happening, when the archangel blows the final trumpet, our transformed spirits will become rapture and transform once again into the heavenly spirit.  </p>
<p>Before the Lord started this history of Love and restoration, what did he make P. Joshua realize first? In P. Joshua’s teens and 20’s, Jesus taught him about his mind. He taught him that people in life are mentally ill. He was talking about every person in the world. Upon hearing this, P. Joshua wondered why that was so. The Lord said, “I want you to observe people’s mentalities and actions very carefully. Aren’t they acting like they’re crazy or even worse as they’re living their lives? Look at the mentality of those who are crazy and people who are considered normal.” Then he said people live away from God, the creator’s Will and are living according to their own thinking. Even those who are living with faith are not living according to Jesus’ Will.  </p>
<p>Through looking at our own selves, we can even see that we are not normal. There are 2 ways to heal and treat crazy people.  First is the medical way and you lock them up and medicate them.  The second way is the faith method of healing in which a normal person heals the crazy person by living with them, taking care of them, etc.  This is the method by which P. Joshua healed people.  He would love them and take care of them and teach them one at a time and make them understand and think the right thoughts.  If you take care of these people over a long period of time like this, gradually the mentally ill person comes back to normal.</p>
<p>Even though people of the world think they are normal, in the eyes of the Lord, they are crazy.  This is why he taught P. Joshua this.  </p>
<p>Why does he tell us first about crazy people?  Because people who don’t live by God’s Will and people who don’t have hearts that are right, are people like crazy people.  P. Joshua said that he too had a mind and mentality and a heart that wasn’t right, but the Lord healed him of all of that and made him normal.  Because his mentality and heart became normal, the Lord gave him mission to do from that point on.  </p>
<p>All thoughts that are outside of God’s law is insanity.  However, even if the insanity is cured, if people cannot fix their fundamental nature, their diseases return.  This is why we learn about Cain’s personalities and how we need to extract them out of us.  The first thing that we must always think about is getting rid of our fundamental nature and filling our hearts with the Lord’s words continuously.   </p>
<p>What is mentally ill in the eyes of God? People who cause war, fight with people, love anyone they want, have multiple lovers, kill people, etc.  People who bow down to idols, take things from people, stalk people, and beat people are all mentally ill in the eyes of the Lord.  There are people who are crazed with sex and even sleep with their siblings.  Hatred, jealousy, bringing false accusations, etc.  These are all actions that can be seen in people with mental problems.</p>
<p>Everyone says they become crazy for just that moment.  They say they realize doing bad things are wrong, but they did those things because they weren’t in their right mind.  It is because people realize what they did is wrong, that’s why they confess and repent.  This is why you must learn about your mentality and your hearts and control it.  Even if you work extremely hard, if you mishandled your mind just once, then all the hard work you put in until then will crumble.   </p>
<p>Everyone who does things that are not normal on any level are all crazy in the eyes of God.  People who have something wrong with their mentality and heart should listen to the Lord’s words really well and pick out one by one their wrong mentalities and change into a good mind.  Pick out the wrong things and replace it with the good words.  Do it even now.  If you don’t, harm will come to you and at that time, you will be unable to do anything about it.   </p>
<p>Think about the past and see what kind of mentality and heart you lived with.  Did you do things like mentally ill people who are not normal?  Observe carefully and see if the heart that would make you do those things are buried in your mind.  Incinerate those thoughts with the Holy Spirit and don’t take action according to your heart!  Control your mind and mentality by praying every day for your heart and your mentality.  Prayer is the only way to control your heart.  Then you can listen to the word and replace it with things that are right.  </p>
<p>The mind will do unconditionally what the body likes.  The mind and mentality will unconditionally follow whatever the body likes and feels.  People like these are people who’s mental age is young.  If you cannot control your heart, it will do whatever your body likes.  Even though people continue to walk down this path of destruction, the mind will continue to do whatever the body likes.  If you cannot control your mind, that mind will follow that body.   </p>
<p>When God and the Lord’s perfect mentality come to our hearts along with the Holy Spirit, all the crazy mentalities are abolished.  We must control our minds today!  Before this week goes away, we must control our minds solidly and make righteous actions! </p>
<p>Do it perfectly and completely this week.  Let’s get it done at this time and set our minds straight.  Let’s take charge of our minds first, then we can overcome.  If our minds are dead, even if the Lord is doing tremendous things, nothing will happen.  People who still have crazy mentalities even if they are small, you must get rid of all of them before they get bigger. Even if there are small insignificant things that are wrong with your heart, you must fix it because Jesus loves you so much he doesn’t want you to have any bad things; he wants you to be perfect.   </p>
<p>The first thing you must do to get rid of your wrong mentalities is to acknowledge your wrongs and contradictions.  This way, when someone tries to correct you, you will accept it.  If you think you’re right, you’re not going to be fixable.  You must acknowledge that you are not right.<br />
When you are repenting to the Lord, you must acknowledge that it is your sin.  When you accept it and repent, then your sins will be cleared up completely.  You must confess everything!  Tell him every little thing that you’ve done wrong. Then the repentance will be complete.  You must be detailed and truly repent and clear it up.  Look at your life like a miswritten letter and acknowledge what needs to be fixed and fix them.  How long will you postpone it?  We cannot delay this any longer.  Soon, the time will come when you cannot delay it any longer.  We must fix ourselves.  </p>
<p>Your mind must come to life and your mentality must come to life!  This is the point of this message.  To be mentally alive means to know good and evil, to know righteousness and sin.  Is your mentality alive?  Can you tell the difference?  People’s minds who are alive are active and lively.  People who have mentalities that are alive take action quickly and are bright.   </p>
<p>Because people’s minds are dead, even though the 2nd coming is this close, they don’t listen to the words that are given directly by the Lord.  History is becoming so big, but the source of your life is dead.  You must revive your mentalities and make it come to life!   </p>
<p>Your mentality kills you and your mentality saves you.  Your mentality makes you go to heaven and makes you go to hell.  This is why you must control your mentality and move at each movement with the Lord’s words as the standard.  Your mind is yours, take responsibility.   </p>
<p>What must we do to receive Jesus’ mentality?</p>
<p>If we are to receive Jesus’ mentality, listen to his words, believe them, and put them to practice.  People who listen to, believe, and keep them are people who have received the Lord’s mind.  Only people who obey and put it into action are people who have received the Lord’s mentality.  Jesus will convey to you his heart and use you as his body.<br />
If you want to receive Jesus’ heart and mentality in another way, then repent and receive the Holy Spirit!  If you receive the Holy Spirit, then you have received the spirit of God and to receive Jesus.  You must not let the working of the Holy Spirit stop.</p>
<p>In order to receive Jesus’ mentality, pray deep prayers and become people who are spiritual.  Think only about Jesus, love Jesus to the extreme, and pray with a true desire to want to receive his mentality.<br />
If you want to receive Jesus’ mentality and heart, especially listen to the revelations that have been recently given and put them to practice.</p>
<p>Truly love each other in Jesus.  Be at peace and be united.<br />
Praise the Father and give glory to the Father and be thankful and rejoice.</p>
<p>Wake the predawn hours.  If you do, you will receive Jesus’ mentality and his heart.</p>
<p>Without receiving the Lord’s mentality and heart, you cannot defeat satan and you cannot listen to the words properly and bear good fruit.  Therefore, listen carefully to the words about the mind and urgently take action!  The time really is right in front of your nose.  When that time comes, even if you want to do it, you can’t because the time has already passed.  The people who value Jesus’ words are those who have minds that are alive.   </p>
<p>If Jesus’ words dwell in you, then Jesus dwells in you, and you become a person who has become a recipient of Jesus’ mentality and heart. </p>

When the messages are delivered,  if you just hear them, the word will never penetrate deeply into your  hearts.  You must pray deeply before listening to them.  Then  the profound word will penetrate into your hearts.  These are words  received through deep prayer and intense struggle.  If you hear  it without dedication, it won’t sink in deeply either.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>February 21<sup>st</sup> 2010  Sunday Message Summary</p>
<p><strong>Scriptures: Matthew  22:37~40, Luke 21:34~36, Proverbs 4:23</strong></p>
<p>Because the words of Jesus  are the words of life, it empowers us to take action.  The words  of Jesus enables us to overcome our difficulties and tribulations.   If you want to be someone who remains in this history and keeps hearing  the great words of Jesus, you must read the Bible with total concentration.   In addition, those who are alive in this time period must hear the words  that pertain to this time period.</p>
<p><strong>-Stories  of getting rid of your self-centered wrong thoughts and know correctly  through prayer-</strong></p>
<p>This is what happened to P.  Joshua in his teens.  He was living in the deep valley of WMD where  he was pressed with the agonies of life.  He could not control  his heart or his body, and there was no joy or hope in his everyday  life.  Naturally, his days were filled with complaints.  Because  of this, he could not love Jesus accurately and have a proactive faith.   He did not see hope in Jesus.  He thought it was his destiny to  live in that way.  He decided that God had already determined every  single human being’s fate.  As he lived, he came to this conclusion.   However he later realized that you should not come to your own self  centered conclusions based on the things of your life.</p>
<p>P. Joshua abandoned himself  and thought he was destined to live in the desolate place of WMD.   He thought everyone was predestined to live the way where they were  at and that was it.  Truly, his life was filled with misery.   He prayed in his teens so much and really wanted Jesus to help him.   As he read the Bible and prayed deep prayers, he realized slowly that  God had different ideas than what he thought of.  P. Joshua then  set himself free from his wrong thinking and started working harder  and realized that through hard work, he could escape his agonies.   He realized that when there are problems, the solution is not only by  human efforts, but he should pray too.  He realized that if he  prays, the Lord would change his situations.</p>
<p>Have you also had wrong thoughts  about God and your own destinies?  As a result, you were worried  and concerned.  If you have incorrect perspectives, your heart  will be filled with worries and concerns and pains will overtake you.   Then you will feel like going away from Jesus and you will feel like  you can’t believe.  You must understand God’s heart properly  through prayer.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;font-size: small">-</span>The Lord answers to a wholesome  heart and works upon it-</strong></p>
<p>When we pray, answers will  come quickly from the Lord.  But if you say things that don’t  fit the Lord’s heart, you don’t hear any answers from them.   Ask this question: “Lord, you really love me, don’t you? But I don’t  exactly know your love do I?” Answers come quickly to those who know  the heart. Don’t look at things from your perspectives only.   If your mind is not correct, whatever you do, it will not work.   The Lord hears every prayer that we offer.  Don’t feel left out  by the Lord.  Love him, plead with him, instead.</p>
<p>You must deeply realize that  the Lord loves you.  Realize and confess how the Lord worked upon  you and loved you in the past.  The Lord gives grace to each person  differently.  He works on each person depending on their individual  paths of life.  Deeply realize about what you received in the past.   Realize also that you failed to maintain your life of grace because  you didn’t live properly.  With a proper heart, make a proper  confession to the Lord and he will speak to you.  He leads you  into deep prayer.</p>
<p>When the messages are delivered,  if you just hear them, the word will never penetrate deeply into your  hearts.  You must pray deeply before listening to them.  Then  the profound word will penetrate into your hearts.  These are words  received through deep prayer and intense struggle.  If you hear  it without dedication, it won’t sink in deeply either.  With  the Bible too, if you read it without praying deeply, it won’t enter  deeply into your hearts.  People understand only up to their level  and the conditions of their hearts.</p>
<p><strong>-The spring of life is within  the heart-</strong></p>
<p>We exist as human beings.   If our mind is made up in the wrong way, it will drive our bodies to  do the wrong things.  The mind controls the body.  As a result,  your life is like a car rolling off a cliff.  If your mind will  drive your body in the wrong way, your life will face a serious accident.</p>
<p>If a person makes just one  mistake, it will determine their entire life.  When a person sets  their hearts on the wrong things and carries it out, they will end up  breaking what they’ve built their entire lives.  You should definitely  understand how valuable your mind and thoughts are. Think correctly  and set your heart on the right things.  Make sure that you’re  going to have the right ideas and right information from the Lord.   You must do everything patiently and with endurance.  If your mind  is bad, evil, arrogant, lustful, etc., your body will shape in that  way.  Your body follows the way you think.  As a result too,  your spirit develops that way too and it will go to that eternal place.   You will be paid back for every action you’ve taken.  Rebuke  and scold and cut off the bad thoughts. You must control those situations  with the name of Jesus!</p>
<p><strong>-Have a good and clean heart-</strong></p>
<p>You must pray that satan and  darkness will not influence you.  You must protect your hearts.   If you are happy, then everything you do is happy.  The Lord looks  at the happy hearts and knocks on the door to enter.  If we have  worries, concerns, irritations, insecurities, anxieties, envy, arrogance,  hatred, conflict, laziness, etc., Jesus can’t enter our hearts. As  for those who trouble Jesus’ heart, the Lord remains always in the  position of bearing the cross for them.</p>
<p>Think of God and the Lord whether  you’re in pain, worries, etc.  Think about Jesus all the time.   The Bible says that your heart is in trouble when you don’t think  about the Lord.  Romans 8:28.  The Lord does not ignore us.   When we think about the Lord, joy will spring up.  When you think  about him, nothing is that painful is it?  Think about God and  the Holy Spirit! Since human beings can’t control their thoughts well,  they need to leave their thoughts to the Lord.  They should do  things leaving it to the Lord. Those who can control their hearts are  true warriors.</p>
<p><strong>-Since the body moves led  by the heart, learn about God and fill your heart with knowledge-</strong></p>
<p>From the body’s standpoint,  ‘the heart’ of a human being is like the inner self and the spirit.  The body is a kind of equipped machine and a tool. The heart is like  electricity. Just as a machine starts running when it’s plugged into  electricity, the body is run by the heart, that is, the mind. Therefore,  a person with a weak mentality cannot do great things.</p>
<p><strong>-The purpose of creation  of mankind is for their spirits to go to heaven-</strong></p>
<p>Seen from the spiritual world,  the purpose of creation is for the spirit to go to heaven where they  will love and serve the maker living ideal lives.  The purpose  of growing fruit trees is not just to look at their beauty.  You  tend to them and take care of them in order to ultimately pick their  fruit.  This is the purpose of creating humans.</p>
<p><strong>-The Spirit going to the  heaven of heavens is determined by the  heart-</strong></p>
<p>You have to have the kind of  heart that is righteous and one that absolutely loves the Lord.   In order for your spirit to be rapture into a wholesome heavenly spirit,  you must be united with the Lord.  Your mind and heart must be  united with Jesus.  You must live perfect lives with all your heart,  will, and life. All of the actions that the body takes led by the heart  and the mind are transmitted to the soul, which passes it on to the  spirit. When the body dies, the soul unites itself with the spirit.  The soul now lives as the mind of the spirit, like being the mind of  the body before. Now that the heart and action of the body are entirely  transferred to the soul, and unite with the spirit, the unity seems  like having happened between the body and the spirit.</p>
<p>Isn’t your physical nature  too strong and you have so many areas that haven’t been corrected  yet?  You cannot enter the kingdom of heaven until you fix them  all.  You must fix them.  The spirits that fail to be qualified  for the rapture cannot go to the heaven of heavens.  At the time  their bodies die, these spirits go to the respective areas of the spiritual  world according to each one’s level where they will receive education.   If they correct themselves, they will advance to the next level.   You must take action while fixing your bad characteristics.</p>
<p>Cast away all your physical  dispositions!  Hot temper, weak minds, arrogant thoughts, etc.   Fix them all as Jesus has taught you.  If you don’t fix yourself  because of the mind, you will end up unable to go to heaven.  How  can you enter heaven with hearts of satan.  The more you are exposed  to this physical world, the more physical your heart becomes and the  more worldly a person you become.   Keep distance from this  world.</p>
<p><strong>-Realize how precious the  heart is. Keep it clean and provide the spirit with a clean heart-</strong></p>
<p>Through your daily life, fill  your heart only with the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit: Joy, love,  peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self  control.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If “resurrection” applies to the body, mind, and soul, then “rapture” applies to the spirit. Only spirits that are transformed into something new will rapture and only rapture spirits can inherit Heaven, the place the Father is.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>February 17th 2010 Wednesday Message Summary</p>
<p><strong>Scriptures: Matthew 13:10-17 </strong></p>
<p>First, before and after listening to the sermon, you must read the main scriptures carefully multiple times. You must read it 7~10 times and understand the main scriptures first. People who deliver sermons without correct understanding of the main scriptures are like people who go to their lovers without knowing their address correctly; they are like people making phone calls without correct knowledge of the phone number; and like people drawing faces of people without correct knowledge of how their faces look. Do you understand?</p>
<p>Second, you must understand the meaning of what He is saying. When someone speaks, you must understand the meaning of their words well and you must understand their meaning well. Even if the person speaking on that person’s behalf memorizes everything they say, if they convey those words without understanding the intent, that person is not fit for that use.</p>
<p>Jesus’ words are difficult to understand because they are the words that are almighty and all-knowing. His words are difficult to understand because He speaks spiritually even when He is speaking in the ways of this world. In addition, if the Lord does not permit it, people cannot know or understand the words of Heaven which are secrets.</p>
<p><strong>Understanding the scriptures: Matthew 13:1-17<br />
</strong>After hearing this parable the disciples asked the Lord, “Lord, why do you speak to them in parables?” Jesus said, “It is because knowing the secrets of Heaven have been permitted for you but not to them.”</p>
<p>We must know who “they” are. “They” were the people at Jesus’ times who treated Jesus like a heretic, rejected him, caused Him injustice, slandered Him, found fault with the Lord’s gospel, criticized it, picked fights with Him, ignored the Lord’s words, determined the word to be bad, and criticized Him falsely. They were the time period’s enemies of the gospel. They were also the Pharisees and Sadducees. They dared do all kinds of evil against Jesus who was the King of Kings, the messiah, and representative of God.</p>
<p>In every time period there are people who oppose, persecute, accuse of heresy, slander, find fault with, and block the words the Lord proclaimed. Good and evil always existed in every time period. Not everyone could be good and not everyone could be evil.</p>
<p>In every time period God and the Lord proclaim the words through the appropriate person of mission and the Holy Spirit makes people realize by inspiring and moving them. People who can’t enter the gospel of the times, oppose, slander, persecute, say all kinds of evil through lies and block the words of God’s salvation history cannot receive the salvation of the times. People like these are people whose hearts are as hard as the road by the wayside, people whose hearts are harsh and tough like the rocky soil, and people who have hearts like the thorns and thistles.</p>
<p>You must keep praying to realize the bible and read focusing your mind. The bible is Jesus. People who try to listen to the sermons deeply without reading the bible are like people who haven’t eaten for awhile and eat only a few spoonfuls of rice even though they don’t have an appetite. It’s okay to do that a few times but if you keep doing that over a long time, your body will end up becoming like a chopstick.</p>
<p>Do you know why I am able to be absolute toward the Lord and endure even though I went through so much tribulations, persecutions, and suffering? It is because I took action with clear knowledge of the words that the Lord taught me. It was because of the word that I defeated satan, defeated the world, and followed the Lord serving Him in making Providence history happen. In times when you are going through the most extreme trials, persecutions, and suffering you must pray and receive word from the Lord.</p>
<p><strong>If there is no word, you will stumble.</strong></p>
<p>There were times I prayed to the Lord in the midst of the most extreme suffering and the Lord gave me just a few words. <strong>“Don’t worry. You have me. Although I love you, you must still go through the tribulations and suffering. Tribulations and suffering is like money. You must pay. Then you will go where you need to go and gain what you need to gain in the future.”</strong> The word is the Lord. If you don’t know the word, you do not know the Lord.</p>
<p>You must hear the word and get rid of the callous hearts of the past by praying and repenting. You must hear the word after doing that. Then you will realize. If you hear but don’t realize, then keep actively asking those who do know and did realize and ask them to teach you. By doing that, learn perfectly and bury the words deeply in your hearts and minds so satan does not take the word away. Amen.</p>
<p>Even now when the Lord speaks, the word is given to them in parables and they don’t realize the secrets of Heaven because their hearts are callous. People who have hearts that are like fertile fields acknowledge the Lord and follow His words perfectly. The disciples followed the Lord’s words perfectly. Because they will not understand if the word was given to them in parables too, the Lord called his disciples aside quietly after the sermons to the public and taught them the meaning of the parables.</p>
<p>Not just any person can realize the deep words of parables that appear in the bible from Genesis to Revelation. The Lord always taught them only to the people of mission and made them make history for that time period. Even though people read the same bible, the Lord enabled only those for whom there was Will to realize the fundamental meanings, and fulfilled the Will while letting only the central figures of each time period know the times and enlightening the people with good hearts.</p>
<p><strong>Rapture is the essence of the resurrection and it is also the final resurrection. The rapture is the grandfather of the resurrection. First stage: the spirit becomes resurrected through using the body. Second stage: the soul and spirit becomes united as one and becomes rapture as spirits of Heaven at the final trumpet call of the archangel.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If “resurrection” applies to the body, mind, and soul, then “rapture” applies to the spirit. Only spirits that are transformed into something new will rapture and only rapture spirits can inherit Heaven, the place the Father is.</strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Summary
Today, the Lord will talk about 4 different kinds of hearts that people have. There are actually many more types of hearts, but today we will only talk about 4. The first type is a heart that is very hard.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>February 14th 2010 Sunday Message Summary</p>
<p><strong>Scriptures: Matthew 13:1-23 </strong></p>
<p>Today, the Lord will talk about 4 different kinds of hearts that people have.  There are actually many more types of hearts, but today we will only talk about 4. The first type is a heart that is very hard.</p>
<p>The second type of heart is a heart that is harsh and desolate.  The third heart is tough and sharp like thorns.  The fourth heart is as good as fertile soil.</p>
<p>There is a type of heart where it is like a seed that is dropped along the path and there is no opportunity for the soil to cover it, so the birds that it away.  These types of people are people who have hearts that are hard and when they hear the word, they deny it and believe only superficially.  The word cannot take root.</p>
<p>There is a type of heart where it is like a seed that fell on rocky places.  The seed cannot take root and they do not receive enough nutrients, so they die.  In this way, the word is preached to people who are in the midst of hardships so their hearts are like stone.  The word goes in but because their hearts are heard, it takes no root.</p>
<p>There is a type of heart where it is like a seed that fell along the thorns.  It grew, but because they do not receive the light of the sun, they die and become choked by the thorns.  In this way, the word sometimes goes out to people who have hearts like thorny bushes.  They live their lives submerged into worries and anxieties.  They are so wrapped up that they cannot bear fruit.</p>
<p>There is a type of heart where it is like a seed that fell on fertile soil.  When the gospel falls on those who have hearts like fertile soil, they immediately accept it.  Their hearts become filled with joy and they produce fruit because it takes root into their hearts.  They will evangelize 30-60 people each.  The fruit of finance also multiplies.  Fertile soil is the best field.  In the same way people who have hearts like a fertile soil are the best people.</p>
<p>Everyone hears the same word, but everyone listens to the same word in a different way.  The heart is the problem.  It depends on the type of heart the person who hears the word has.  As you realize about the word, you must change your heart to become like the fertile soil.</p>
<p>If you think that your heart is not like the path or the rocky places or the thorns, we must open up our ears and hear.</p>
<h3>Hearts that are like rocks</h3>
<p>We must make our hearts soft.  If you have a road that is hard, you must make it soft.  We must be people that take the rocks out of our hearts and become soft.  If you have a desire to make your hearts, you can do it.  Those who have hardened hearts can become soft if you keep tiling your hearts with the tool of the word.  Keep taking action and eventually your heart will become soft like fertile soil.  If you don’t want to fix yourself and change your character, you will ultimately reject the word and you will not bear fruit and enter the kingdom of heaven.</p>
<p>Why don’t you make the effort to work hard and make yourself?  Is anything in this world easy to complete?  Nothing in this world is easy, but you must make it happen and believe it can happen.  It is not easy to make your heart good, kind, and valuable like the fertile soil.  But if anyone hopes to go to heaven, they have to change their heart and become like a child.</p>
<p>1 Samuel 16:7.  When David was being chosen as the King of Israel, God looked at nothing but his heart.  The heart is gold, it is precious stone, and it is love.  When you hear the words of heaven, when you hear revelations, the destiny is dependent on the condition of your heart.  You must fix your hearts to make it fertile so the word can change you.</p>
<p>You must allow the word to be able to survive in your hearts.  Jesus is the word; he must be able to dwell in your hearts.  We must pick out our thoughts that are wrong and throw them away.  If there are rocks, throw them away.  You must get rid of your own blemishes.</p>
<p>Hearts of rocks are revealed through the things that they say.</p>
<p>Angry words, careless words, hurtful words are all from hearts with rocks.  You must repent in order for these rocks to be removed.  What is in the heart will be clearly revealed through your words and your actions.</p>
<p>If you have rocks in your hearts, don’t hurl those rocks at people.  Pick up those rocks and throw them away instead.  If you keep throwing rocks at people, they will eventually rise and throw something even more shocking than rocks at you.  You will be judged by your actions.</p>
<h3>Hearts that are like thorny bushes</h3>
<p>You must cut and burn all the thorns in your hearts.  You must get rid of all of your anxieties and worries.  You must listen to the Lord’s words and obey them.  If you do so, your thorns will be burned away and you will feel peace.</p>
<p>You must have the Holy Spirit come and rest on your minds and not worry about physical things.  You must cut them up with the word and destroy them from your hearts.</p>
<p>Fertile soil is something that you are born with.  This is a gift that God has given you as a gift.  There are many cases where the farmer changes the bad fields into the field of rich soil.  Even if you don’t have perfect fields now, work on it diligently and change.</p>
<p>Just like there are 4 types of fields, there are also 4 types of hearts.  Turn your hearts into good hearts that are like fertile fields.</p>
<p>As people travel on the road to heaven, they move forward easily when they are happy.  But they will sit down and cry when they are worried and hungry.  On heaven’s road of life, you must constantly push forward and walk no matter what happens to you.  You should walk even faster when you are having hardships.  The path of eternal life is not a road to walk only when you are happy.  If you walk on the path of heaven only when you are happy, then no one would ever make it to the end.  You must keep advancing no matter what.</p>
<p>Nothing happens if you sit still.  Things only work out if you do it.  You will understand it only if you take action.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>February 10th 2010 Wednesday Message Summary</p>
<p><strong>Scriptures: John 8:4-11, Romans 6:23 </strong></p>
<p>Sin causes your bodies and spirits to be ruined.  Sin provides no benefit for man and actually hurts people.  People pay the price for sins even if it’s as small as a speck of sand or a hair.  God controls and knows all the deeds of man.  God does not tolerate sin.  Spirits of those who did not repent will go to hell.</p>
<p>The hometown for sin, is hell.  The hometown for righteousness, is heaven.  People who don’t know about sin and take it lightly are ultimately ruined because of sin.  People who sin live in the world of sin and eventually go to the world of sin.</p>
<p>As people live their lives, they get hurt because they do not know.  People worry, they get anxious, they fail, they don’t eat well, they have accidents, etc., because they don’t know.  Ultimately, people suffer because people don’t know.  They are unable to escape certain situations because they don’t know  People go to hell where they suffer forever because they don’t know.  People go to heaven because they do know.</p>
<p>The reason why we need to learn about sin is so that we will stay away from sin and not sin.  As a result we will live a blessed life. When it comes to the fall, people with physical bodies fall physically.  But spiritually, how did Lucifer cause Eve to fall?  By causing her heart, which is the spiritual forbidden fruit, to fall.  Mentally, her mind/heart fell first.  Satan invades your mind first.  Eventually, Eve fell physically because whatever your mind thinks of, your body will do.</p>
<p>Children do whatever they see.  Every human being has innate sexual tendencies.  When they see and hear about it, their hearts explode and they eventually take action on those thoughts and desires.  Not just children but it applies to everybody.</p>
<p>Sex is the ultimate way satan and demons tempt people in this time period.  Sex is something that applies to everyone from childhood to adulthood.  Adam and Eve fell because they listened to the words of Lucifer.  The fall of the heart is the fall of the body.  Once the heart falls, the body commits the same fall.</p>
<p>Satan cannot deceive people without telling lies.  The fall doesn’t just refer to sexual acts.  Violating God’s law is the fall.  Satan tempts the mind and makes your thoughts go outside the realm of God’s words.  Satan does the work of first opening the heart and changing your thoughts and mentalities.  Then you become like satan.  After that, satan makes those people want to take action by following their hearts and taking action with their bodies.</p>
<p>If you learn God’s words, refuse to hear what other people say, and only listen to the words of the Lord, satan’s words will become worthless.  If you do this, even those who are trying to tempt you can’t do anything.  You will never fall victim to anybody.</p>
<p>For people who are being swept away by this generation’s sins, the most urgent matter is to get out.  This generation is being swept away by a huge wave of their sins that will ultimately bring them to hell.  Everything in this generation is lewd.  Lewd videos, video games, pictures, internet sites, etc.  People must grow up normal.</p>
<p>Sinning takes only an instant, but repenting of sins cannot happen in just an instant.  Repenting of sins is 10 times, 20 times, 30 times harder.  Whenever you sin, satan always accompanies you.  Satan arouses your curiosity and makes you look at bad things.</p>
<p>You will be fine if you don’t look at bad things.  If you block your eyes and plug your ears, you can block out about 90% of sins.  However, people open their eyes and their ears even bigger to hear and see those bad things.  Hurry and repent and prepare completely for the second coming.  Don’t think only about the judgment of the wicked.  Think about your own sins and repent and don’t get judged with the wicked.  Truly repent and make yourselves clean.</p>
<p>When you sin, you surely pay for those sins.  Struggle with all your might and endure and don’t sin.  Even if it causes you suffering, don’t sin and don’t give in.  Just because you repent, it also doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay for your sins.  No matter what the reasons are, you will surely pay the price for those sins.  Even if it was satan and demons that tempted you, it was still you that committed those sins.  You allowed them to enter your mind/heart.</p>
<p>In today’s scriptures, there was a woman who was caught in the act of adultery.  When she repented, the Lord told her to not sin again. The Lord, seeing that people who committed sexual sin like the woman appearing in today’s scriptures and others repenting of various other sins says, “I will no longer ask you about your sins again. So truly don’t sin again.”</p>
<p>This is word that applies to people who repented and people who confessed that they will never sin again. You must never sin again. Then you can live. Do things in a way that would move the Lord’s heart.  Tell him that you will never sin again and set a condition that would move him.</p>
<p>Before sinning, there was a wall of righteousness that kept satan from you.  But now, because you have sinned, there is a wall of sin that blocks you from God.  You must truly repent about disobeying God’s words and receive forgiveness in the Lord’s name.</p>
<p>The best manager is you.  You must be united with the Lord and give glory to God and pray even if you are by yourself.  Be aware that you are living right in front of God’s throne.  When you sin by yourself, you are not by yourself; you are with satan.</p>
<p>When you sin, the more time passes, the more confidence you lose and then you can’t repent.  If you don’t repent right away, they will pile up and you will end up forgetting about it and you won’t even be able to recall those sins.  When bad thoughts get into your mind, get rid of them right away like you would get rid of a caterpillar squirming around in your underwear.  In the name of the Lord, you must hate sin and hate satan and make a promise to never sin again.</p>
<p>Today, the Lord told us to not sin again.  From Genesis to Revelations, the Lord is telling us what to do and what not to do.  Only God and only the Lord, we must have this mentality.  If we sin again, we bring suffering on ourselves and the Lord’s original Will towards us will change.  Repent every day and the Lord will forgive us.</p>

While you live in this world, you must believe in Jesus, love the Lord, obey him, and do righteous deeds.  After you die, then you will be rapture and eventually go to God in heaven.  It is a process.  So whether our spirits go to heaven or hell, it is determined right here. ]]></description>

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.</p>
<p>February 7th 2010 Sunday Message Summary</p>
<p>We must not commit sin again.  In order to go to the eternal kingdom of bliss and happiness, there is one thing we must do, which is to obey God’s laws.  If we obey it, we will be protected by the laws.  If we don’t obey it, we will be judged by the law.  Heaven is not a place you go to based on the righteous deeds your spirit does, it is about the things you do here on this earth. </p>
<p>While you live in this world, you must believe in Jesus, love the Lord, obey him, and do righteous deeds.  After you die, then you will be rapture and eventually go to God in heaven.  It is a process.  So whether our spirits go to heaven or hell, it is determined right here.<br />
Anything against the word is sin.  Anything that is in compliance with what the word says is righteousness.  Wherever it says in the bible to “do” it is righteousness, and where it says to “don’t do it” is sin.  Those who obey the word commit righteousness everywhere and they receive joy in their hearts.  Those who disobey feel guilty and live with a tormented heart.   </p>
<p>Sin is like poison.  They immediately bring hell to our minds, hearts, and bodies.  The suffering from sin can only be erased by repentance.  This will absolve us from our sins in the name of Jesus.  Jesus must acknowledge our repentance and forgive us.  We can’t just repent once and think we are repented; we must keep repenting until we receive that forgiveness from Jesus.   </p>
<p>Those who don’t believe in God and Jesus commit sin because they don’t know what sin is.  Even after sinning, because they don’t know how to repent, they end up living in their sin every day.  They feel agonies of hell in their minds in the midst of their lives.  </p>
<p>This is why we must evangelize.  We must quickly teach people about sin so they will repent and avoid having to pay the price for all those sins.  Teach people regarding sin.  Guide them to personally repent to God in the name of the Lord.  Help them avoid the price of their sins and help them escape the torments that come from satan.  </p>
<p>Satan drags people around like servants because of sin.  People end up sinning again and again and go back out to the world.  You must teach people how to repent and get rid of the wall of sin between them and the Lord.  As a result, they will become closer to the Lord.<br />
People think that their agonies of life come from environmental, economic, and personal problems  But their spirits are in the domain of death because of their sins.  As a price of their sins, devils cruelly beat them and torment them.  The ones who don’t repent are like those carrying heavy bundles on their backs.  The ones who repent and are forgiven of their sins have their burden immediately taken off.  </p>
<p>There is hope.  We must repent.  In this way, satan will no longer be able to accuse us based on our sin.  God does not judge you for your sins once you repent.  If you commit sin, God judges you, but if you do righteous deeds, he blesses you.  You are treated according to your deeds.<br />
Whether we have sin or not, we all have the power to cast out satan and demons.  In the name of the omnipotent God and the name of Jesus Christ, we can cast away satans and evil spirits. </p>
<p>What is satan’s easiest target?  Those who feel left out and unappreciated.  Lucifer in the Garden of Eden felt left out and unloved by God.  He did all of this bad on his own.  Those who feel left out have the same mentality as Lucifer.  They are those who are envious and jealous.<br />
Sometimes when we feel neglected and unappreciated and uncared for, we can feel the Lord’s heart behind it.  We must not feel discouraged and we must pray.  When we pray, we learn more deeply about the situation and we can know what God is really trying to tell us.   </p>
<p>If we look at a situation of who felt left out, there really isn’t a reason why they should feel that way.  Many feel that way because of their personalities.  Because people don’t absolutely love and rely on the Lord, they feel left out.  Because they lean on people and rely too much on them, they feel left out.  We should only rely on the Lord.  Feeling left out comes from self ignorance and for not opening up and speaking their true minds.  People need to speak up and talk about the situation.  When you speak about it, things get cleared up.<br />
Repentance is only complete when you never do that sin again.  If we really don’t repent, we will be cast on a bed of suffering.  Repentance is a beautiful thing.   </p>
<p>Don’t think of Jesus simply as someone who saves you.  Don’t consider him simply as someone your prayers go out to.  Don’t deem him as just an object of worship.  The perspective people have of Jesus is wrong.  Correct your perspectives and perceive Jesus in a different way.<br />
You will be rapture only if you become the Lord’s beloved.  The spirits who do not rapture are like caterpillars who failed to become a butterfly.  The spirits who rapture will climb up into the kingdom of heaven.  Just repenting and waiting doesn’t mean you will be rapture.  Repentance is basic, love is special.  Love is basic in the kingdom of heaven.  Because of love, Jesus saves us and permits us to go to heaven and gives us these words.  Know the value of heaven.  </p>
<p>God created the world for you and gave you certain things to eat and clothe yourselves.  Furthermore, Jesus died for the sake of us and suffered because of our sins and saved us and enabled us to go to heaven.  So don’t you think you should live for the savior?  Compared to all the things God and Jesus have done for you, what have you really offered back?  Think about it.   </p>
<p>If you still can’t believe these words, why don’t you pray and see for yourselves?  If you sin, you immediately fall into the agonies of hell.  Devils come to you.  Repent immediately, Jesus will forgive us!  So repent!  If you fail to repent when Jesus is giving you the chance, you will truly suffer and miss your chance.   </p>
<p>Make your faith firm and be bold.  Even if the world may forsake you, Jesus will never abandon you.  You must believe this. </p>
