Obey God's Word, Abide in His Power, and Live Blessed for Eternity


If we fail to faithfully obey God’s Word, we will not possess the spiritual constitution necessary to live in Heaven.  

Even if we somehow enter Heaven, we will experience discomfort and pain, and eventually, we will feel compelled to leave.

The key to entering Heaven lies in developing a spirit that faithfully obeys God's Word while still on Earth.  

If we live half-heartedly and fail to cultivate a disposition that aligns with God’s Word, Word faithfully, our souls will not be equipped to enter Heaven after death.

Imagine someone who lives without truly committing to obeying God’s Word—this person’s soul would not be spiritually ready for Heaven.  

Even if such a person accidentally entered Heaven, they would be met with judgement and ridicule, as others might say, "You made it to Heaven, but you still can't obey God’s Word?"  

This shame would make it difficult for the person to remain in Heaven, and they would ultimately have no choice but to descend to a lower spiritual realm more suited to their state.

To illustrate, think of someone who wasn’t academically prepared for a prestigious institution, like Tokyo University, but managed to get in through dishonest means. 

They would struggle to keep up with the intellectual demands of the other students, feel isolated, and be looked down upon by their peers. The discomfort of this situation would eventually push them to leave, as they would not belong there.

Thus, while we live on Earth, we must strive to obey God's Word as faithfully as possible.  It is through this effort that we will develop the spiritual capacity to live in harmony with Him for all eternity.

RAPT『蛹から蝶へ』MUSIC VIDEO: "Chrysalis to Butterfly"

Image
  Listening carefully, without hesitation, I live by each and every Word. With all my heart, with all my mind, I live toward the day I'll be complete. As a chrysalis, I can't fly. But to spread the wings of love, I will overcome tears and doubts, One day, I will soar, so free above. Without blame for the child I am, I’ll keep learning to grow strong. Until the butterfly unfurls its wings, I’ll trust the guidance of love all along. As a chrysalis, the sky feels so far. But the wind of the Word will grow my wings. With prayer, I’ll grow, One day, I’ll soar to the highest skies. I can’t end as a chrysalis, Love and truth will transform me. The marks of my tears are carved in my wings, Like God, I’ll shine into the light.

God’s Word: The Perfect Guide to Living a Fulfilling Life

Image
Recently, as I was walking, I looked up and saw migratory birds flying across the sky, their wings glowing in the warmth of the setting sun.  It reminded me of something I had read in a scientific paper—that migratory birds have an "invisible map" that helps them navigate their journey every year. This map, based on the Earth’s magnetic field, guides them along specific routes to build nests and complete their life cycles. It struck me that, just like the birds, we too have a path to follow in life—a right path that, when followed, leads us to the most fulfilling and meaningful life we can live. I discovered this "map" when I first encountered the teachings of Rapt Nakamura, which revealed the profound truths about the world and life itself. These teachings have helped me recognize and eliminate the harmful and unnecessary aspects of my life. I’ve come to understand the true purpose of life and the best way to live it, which has brought me a deep sense of joy and pe...

Let the voice of prayer echo through the sky. Holy Spirit, cover this earth. The light of hope pierces the darkness.  A new era begins now. By the power of prayer, shine upon the world. The wind of the Holy Spirit transforms everything. Let us break through our limits and step forward  to establish heaven’s will on this earth.

The love of the Holy Spirit fills every corner. In the chaos, let us find a future. Together, let us create a new history. By the power of prayer, shine upon the world.
