LIVING THE WORD

As long as evil exists in the world, we will suffer.  However, living in accordance with God's Word will protect us from all evil, enabling us to save ourselves and others. There is no denying the presence of evil in the world, but God has been judging it one step at a time. However, evil won't disappear overnight. Even if we were to defeat all of the lllminati, evil people would still emerge, and his destructive works would continue. As long as evil remains, so will our suffering. But here's the powerful truth: In the face of this, God has a deep desire to save humanity, and He often uses these very evils to bring about that salvation. As we remain steadfast in our pursuit of righteous conditions, evil cannot defeat us. Instead, we can turn these challenges into opportunities to grow, saving ourselves and helping others in the process. Though I myself faced immense suffering at the hands of evil people during my 25 years of discipline, each trial strengthened me—spirituall...

If God's desire is for us to evangelize, then how can we truly love one another in unity and solidarity with Him unless we share His message? When we choose to keep dogs, it’s because we want to experience love with them We don’t simply feed, walk, or play with them for the sake of it; we do these things because we desire to bond with them and show them love. However, dogs don’t fully understand the depth of our emotions. No matter how much we feed, walk, or play with them, they likely can’t comprehend just how deeply their owners love them. The same is true of our relationship with God. He created the heavens, the earth, and everything in it because He longs to experience love with us. He has blessed us in countless ways, showering us with His love. Yet, many people struggle to understand God’s heart and don’t even try to grasp how much He truly loves them. Often, the one who first offers love finds that the recipient doesn’t easily understand their feelings.  But despite this, if...

  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.

What Happens When We Die? Lately, I’ve come across many articles about people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs), along with scientific research exploring this phenomenon. As a Christian, I believe these testimonies of out-of-body experiences during NDEs provide additional confirmation of the existence of an afterlife.  They also suggest that we have a spiritual body in addition to our physical one. Many people who have had NDEs, after catching a glimpse of the afterlife, report a shift in their perspective on life.  They often become more focused on living with purpose and doing good deeds.  Similarly, being mindful of death and the afterlife can help us live more meaningful lives. This is why it’s so important to seek the truth about the afterlife and gain a solid understanding of it. The Afterlife: Spiritually, It's Just an Extension of How You Lived on Earth I was raised in a Buddhist family, and as I grew older, I became interested in alternative medicine, wh...

God loves those who evangelize, always stands by them, protects them from harm, and fills their lives with abundant blessings. God is with those who dedicate their lives to sharing His Word and saving many. He rejoices when we spread the gospel and bring others to faith. However, He is not pleased when we preach without purpose or passion. God delights in those who actively work to save souls, not those who merely speak without intention. If you share your testimony or spread information in small, unnoticed ways, but your actions do not result in saving people, God may become disillusioned with you. He sees it as a lack of intent to make a true impact. God blesses those who bring many to salvation. He rewards them abundantly and ultimately elevates them to Heaven. Some people, despite years of faith, struggle to pray deeply. This is often because they are not engaged in evangelism. Without the presence of God in their work, they can’t experience true unity with Him in their prayers, no...

 If you set your sights on Heaven and live with that focus, you won’t be distracted by meaningless things.  Instead, you will focus only on what truly benefits your spirit, body, and soul, leading to continual growth and development. The world is filled with an overwhelming amount of information, but much of it is ultimately useless. In reality, many people struggle to distinguish between what's truly valuable and what's not. Instead, they become captivated by irrelevant information, absorb it with interest, and end up wasting precious time. As a result, they remain stagnant, never growing or developing, no matter how much time passes. This distraction and wasted time stem from the fact that they haven't sought to know God or live according to His purpose. However, we've learned that there is a better way to live—one that involves knowing God and living for Him. When we live for God, we are no longer distracted by the meaningless things of this world. Instead, as we foc...

God determines who will prosper in this world and who will be brought low.  Because God has chosen to eradicate wickedness, it is inevitable that it will fade away with the passing of time. The Lord taught us that we should pray until our prayers are answered. If we stop praying before our prayers are answered, it indicates that we have not properly set the conditions that need to be in place. However, if we persist in prayer until our prayers are answered, it shows that we have fulfilled the necessary conditions, not just for our prayers to be answered, but for us to receive additional blessings. God will observe the righteousness we have cultivated and reward us in ways beyond what we may expect. Therefore, it is wise to pray until our prayers are answered. In truth, God has already answered all of our prayers. The evils of this world have been eradicated continuously, and the mindset of Heaven has spread across the Earth. Japan is being transformed into a "super-pure society,...

As long as you remain the way you are, your life will stay the same.  It’s only when you grow both spiritually and fleshly, fully transforming your inner self, that your life will change drastically. Many people desire to change their lives, but few ever make that change a reality. Instead, they continue living the same way, hoping something special will happen. The truth is, most of us don't put in the effort to transform ourselves. We spend our time wishing for happiness to come from outside, not realizing that true change starts from within. Major transformations don’t happen overnight. But as the saying goes, "Little by little, a little becomes a lot." If you continue working on yourself, you'll find that, after five or ten years, your life will be transformed in ways you never imagined. While it's natural to hope for happiness to come from external sources, the reality is that lasting joy and fulfillment come from personal growth. You have the capacity to cha...

We can only find lasting happiness when we live for God, not for ourselves.  Those who understand this will be seen as truly wise and honored in Heaven. No matter how hard we try to live for ourselves and pursue our own desires, we will never find lasting satisfaction.  Eventually, we may even experience a sense of emptiness. This is because God designed us in such a way that true fulfillment can only come from living for Him, not for ourselves. When we choose to live for God, He wants us to do so wholeheartedly.  He provides the peace of mind, time, and resources we need to live fully for Him. If you truly desire to live a joyful and fulfilling life, the wisest choice is to live for God. I have learned and practiced this truth from a young age, and God has never let me down.  Instead, I've experienced an abundant and fulfilling life in every sense, year after year. My prayer for you is that you discover how to live in a way that brings you the deepest happiness and ...
