LIVING THE WORD

Fools are often bound by preconceived notions and prejudices, while the wise understand that what was once regarded as "common sense" may no longer hold true today.   They think flexibly, constantly seeking to understand what the truth really is. Many people live their lives constrained by various forms of "common sense" and "preconceptions." Through our study of the Word, we have come to realize that much of what people consider "common sense" or "preconceptions" are, in fact, false ideas imprinted by Satan. This is why the more people hold on to these false ideas of "common sense" and "preconceptions," the more unhappy they become. However, the Lord has revealed that many, even after studying the Word, continue to live their lives bound by the "common sense" and "prejudices" of the past, or even create new ones for themselves. The reason God shares His Word so abundantly each day is not to reinf...

Life may appear different for each individual, but in reality, there are only two paths: "Follow God and find happiness," or "Disobey God and experience unhappiness." Right now, Japan is facing a series of disasters, and countless people are enduring unprecedented suffering.  This misery, however, is not a mere accident—it is the consequence of turning away from God’s guidance.  Even when people hear God’s word, many fail to heed it. No matter what people believe or whether they choose to acknowledge it, the truth remains: there are only two types of lives.  You can "Obey God and be happy," or you can "Disobey God and be unhappy." Those who choose to obey God will find happiness, even if the face of temporary hardship, and their lives will ultimately flourish. Conversely, those who disobey God’s commandments are bound to face misfortune that will outweigh any fleeting success or good fortune.  Their path will be marked by adversely. Many people w...

God is capable of using even the most unworthy person and turning them into someone of great value. God can use anyone. Consider this: an amateur cook may struggle to prepare a delicious meal without the right tools.  However, a skilled chef can take whatever tools and ingredients are available and still create something extraordinary. In the same way, God can raise up and use even the most imperfect person, shaping them into someone of great worth. So, what kind of person does God raise up and use as a valuable vessel? It’s someone who listens to and obeys God’s word with a heart of complete surrender, someone who genuinely prays to align their life with God’s will. God will guide such a person, shaping them into someone of value and using them mightily to fulfill His purposes. For us as humans, there is no more noble or fulfilling way to live than to be raised by God, to become a person of value, and to be used by Him for His greater purpose. My prayer is that each of you will be...

  When God speaks harsh words, delivers judgment, or brings destruction, it is all with the intention of guiding humanity toward true happiness. When God speaks harsh words or delivers judgment, it's not meant to condemn or destroy humanity.  Ultimately, His purpose is to guide us toward salvation, helping us live a life filled with blessings and grace. As humans, we often need strict discipline and guidance to stay on the right path. Yet, in this world, when we receive harsh discipline from others, it doesn’t always lead to happiness—in fact, it can sometimes bring about unhappiness. However, when we are taught by God through His Word, it’s different. His discipline is filled with grace, and it leads us to a life of true happiness. There are times when God speaks harshly or allows difficult judgments to fall upon people.  But He does so to help us understand His ways and bring us closer to the path of grace and peace. If a person chooses not to follow God's Word, they wi...

Anchor your heart in God’s love, which remains steadfast.  Only then will your life find stability, and you will experience true joy and peace. In this world, many people anchor the stronghold of their mind to things of the world. Some find comfort in family, others in friends or loved ones, and some in wealth or fame. This is because it’s hard to maintain a stable mental state without a solid foundation in this world. However, things like family, friends, partners, wealth, and honor can disappear at any time and for any reason. As long as you invest your heart and soul in these things, you will never be free from the anxiety of when they might fade away. In fact, what you rely on can actually become a source of fear and uncertainty. But there is one thing in this world that remains unshaken, and that is God. We can always find peace in knowing that God will never fade away. As long as we continue to love Him, He will love us in return—forever. My prayer is that each of you will pl...

 Love can only resonate with the wavelength of love, so those without love cannot feel God’s love.  （Heaven is a place where love is constantly exchanged.） In September 2022, God declared His judgment upon Japan. Since that time, Japan’s economy has declined, and this year, the nation has faced a series of unprecedented disasters, one after another. Despite these hardships, many people still refuse to turn back to God. Instead, they continue to place their hopes in the government to save them. When their expectations are not met, they complain and express frustration. Yet, in the midst of this, God is still at work. He continues to show His love by blessing those who truly love Him, offering grace and guiding us to experience His love in powerful ways. Those who have a heart full of love are aligned with God’s love and are able to feel His presence, receiving His blessings and grace in their daily lives. However, God has made it clear that those whose hearts are filled with im...

As beings created in God's image, it is natural, fulfilling, and joyful to live according to His divine nature. The Bible teaches that humans were created in God's image. This means that, originally, we shared the same divine nature. However, due to Satan's influence in this world, humans have gradually adopted characteristics contrary to God's, starting to live according to Satan's nature. Since we were created in God's image, it is natural for our lives to be aligned with His divine nature. However, by taking on Satan's nature, which is completely opposed to God's, our lives are marked by suffering and pain. It is natural for a cat to live as a cat, and if it tried to live as a dog, it would suffer. For this reason, through His Word, God reveals who He is and invites us to live according to His example. If we come to understand God's nature and live according to it, our lives will naturally become easier, fuller, and happier. When this happens, we ...

A long winter is approaching because the world has turned away from God.  However, despite this circumstance, those who believe in Him and love Him will be able to welcome the spring and live full, joyful lives. The Lord has declared that, starting in 2023, the world will be governed by the heavenly law, the law of God and the law of His Word. Since 2023, the Japanese people have actually been experiencing an economic downturn, and many have found themselves living in poverty—something few could have imagined just a year ago. The reason for this suffering is clear: the Japanese people have rejected God’s Word, rather than accepting and following it. If they do not turn to God now, His judgment will continue, and their suffering will only increase. Although many are waiting for "spring to come," it will not arrive until they open their hearts to God. Yet, God’s judgment is not without purpose—it is an act of love. He desires to bring people back to Him and lead them to salvati...
