LIVING THE WORD

 "Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better." (Colossians 1:10) Many people mistakenly believe that faith holds them back from living their ideal life, but in reality, it enhances it.  As our Creator, God understands the unique desires and potential of each person. A perfect, blessed life, uniquely designed for each of us, is within reach for those who follow His Word. No force—whether evil or Satan—can stop the blessings God has destined for His faithful. Through RAPT-san’s ministry, we have seen firsthand that living according to God’s guidance brings abundant blessings and leads us toward the ideal life He has planned for us.

Once evil individuals reach "6," they cannot progress any further.  However, righteous people continue to move forward, ultimately reaching "7" and entering the realm of perfection. China was thriving, on track to become the world’s leading economic power—until 2022. But in early 2023, the economy took a sharp downturn and, despite their best efforts, failed to recover. Instead, it continued to plummet, and today, the nation is considered underdeveloped. This is how evil works—it grows rapidly until it reaches a tipping point, then collapses just as quickly. Evil can rise to a certain level—represented by the number “6”—but it can never reach “7.” In biblical terms, “7” symbolizes perfection, which is unattainable for those who embrace evil. People who walk in evil may seem successful for a time, but their achievements are built on deception and will ultimately crumble. They can never achieve true completion or fulfillment. On the other hand, those who strive for ri...

Evil people often succeed quickly because they do as they please, but hiding their misdeeds requires considerable time and effort.  This sets the stage for a reversal of fortunes, where the righteous will surpass the wicked, and goodness will ultimately triumph over evil. Evil may seem to thrive and even appear invincible, but eventually, it reaches a breaking point. Those who are willing to do whatever it takes to succeed—no matter how corrupt—may advance faster than those who choose the righteous path. However, as they achieve the success they desire, the weight of their wrongdoings accumulates, like a mountain of sins. To cover up their actions, they must invest time, money, and energy—creating stress and strain along the way. In contrast, those who walk the righteous path have nothing to hide. No matter how much time passes, they continue fulfilling their duties with a clear conscience. Over time, the balance shifts. Good will ultimately surpass evil. And should even one of the...

What is the Right Price for an Instruction Manual for Life? How to Improve Your Life Without Getting Ripped Off by Self-Development and Spirituality Life’s mysteries can no longer feel like mysteries once you have a clear instruction manual. It’s similar to checking the specs before purchasing an appliance, or turning to the manual afterward to truly understand how to use it to its fullest potential. As humans, we have only one life. Yet, when we’re born, we’re left without a guide on how to truly live—how to find happiness, or even what happiness really means. This leaves us in a position where we must learn how to live, often from scratch. In our search for answers, we’re drawn to paths like "self-development," "spirituality," and "religion." But do these paths really offer the guidance we need, or are they just another way to get lost? Unfortunately, many people who dive into these areas end up making their lives worse, rather than better. And to make m...

God’s plan always moves forward with full force just when it seems to be at its end.  In these moments, there’s a powerful reversal where Satan and the wicked who try to disrupt God’s work are ultimately defeated. Throughout history, Satan and evil forces have relentlessly attacked and tried to disrupt God’s divine plan. There are countless moments in the Bible when it seemed as if God’s plan was about to be thwarted, but it’s in these very moments that the wicked and the forces of evil meet their downfall, and God’s plan moves forward with renewed strength. This pattern has repeated itself time and time again. The same holds true in our present day. Our efforts often face setbacks, under attack from Satan and those who oppose God’s will. It can feel as though everything could come to a halt at any moment. But in these times, God always reaches out with His saving hand, and the wicked are suddenly defeated while our work continues. We’ve witnessed this countless times. God, in His ...
