- Philippians 1: 27 (recite only the key point.) Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.
In order for a person to live his life day to day, he must live his daily life. In the course of living our daily lives, ‘trash’ is produced, right? In this way, in the course of living your daily life, you will sometimes commit sins, sometimes it is difficult, sometimes you will go through suffering, sometimes problems will occur, and you will get sick because you have health problems. In order to live your daily life, you have to also think. As a result, ‘problems of thoughts’ will sometimes occur and sometimes you will commit ‘sins of thoughts.’ Your body too. In order to live, you have to move it while living your life. So problems pertaining to that will inevitably occur.
So how can you reduce these problems? The answer is this! You have to make the effort so that you don’t sin, so that less problems occur, and so that both your heart and body are healthy and do not get sick. You should live your daily life, but you should ‘make the effort’ so that you will do well. If you do that, things will improve as much as you make the effort. What happens if a person just eats whatever comes along without care? Also, what happens when a person does not take care of his body but leaves it alone and lets it be? According to the life he lives, he will have health problems and get sick. You should eat, but make the effort to eat better. And you should live, but you have to take care of your body and make the effort. What happens to a person if he thinks whatever comes to mind in order to live his daily life? He cannot live properly. You have to make the effort so that you will think good thoughts and you have to make the effort so that you can control your heart well.
There are times when you get angry and upset. However, should you blow up and express your anger recklessly just because those things have happened in the course of living your daily life? You have to control your heart and make the effort so that your heart will go down the good path. Also, no matter who they are, people end up ‘sinning’ in the course of living their daily lives. That is why you have to live in God’s domain.
While living in God’s domain, you have to take action on the Word of God and the Lord, and keep making the effort so that you will travel the right path and the path of life.
Human beings experience far more diseases and far more problems than animals. It is because people eat burnt food and eat salty and spicy foods. So accordingly, they suffer a lot of sickness. Also, people experience a lot more accidents than animals do. Animals don’t have car accidents. Sometimes people will run over them but there are 100% no cases where animals cause car accidents on their own. Why? Because animals do not drive.
However, people have to drive in order for them to live their daily lives. Therefore, it is 100% people who cause car accidents and either get injured or die. Also, ‘industrial disasters’ occur only to people. It doesn’t occur to animals. Why? People have to build buildings and do construction in order to live lives. Therefore, ‘industrial disasters’ occur only to people. Will you not live your life just because these problems occur? You can overcome them if you learn more, are more careful, are more cautious, and make more effort. If you do, you will reduce accidents even if you live your life.
Human beings are ‘the greatest beings in this world,’ ‘the greatest beings second to the Almighty Trinity,’ ‘the lord of creation.’ However, if they live recklessly as they wish, live eating and enjoying according to their constitutions, live without being careful or attentive, and don’t take action with goals, no matter who they are since they are living daily lives, they will go through suffering, diseases will come upon them, problems will occur, they will experience poverty, and they will also experience hardships of life. Even if you live your life of faith while believing in God and the Lord, the body is still ‘the body.’ Should you leave it up to God when you are sick and nearly dead? Should you just leave it only to God when you are nearly starving to death? God let medicine advance along with the advancement of civilization. So if you are sick, you should get treated ‘medically’ and also ‘pray’ as you do that. Also, you should work as much as you should and make a living. You also receive ‘the blessings that God gives you’ as you do that. If you entrust both all of your daily life and health only to God and do things according to your [wrong] thoughts, problems will occur with 90% of things. You should do your 100% to take care of your health and pray to God as you do so. Then you will maintain your health 100%.
Human beings live their lives with their bodies. You, yourself are the owner of that body. Therefore, you, yourself have to take responsibility, manage it, and take action. God is ‘spirit.’ God does for us only ‘work that is appropriate for God to do.’ The bodies of people should live doing the things that should be done at each time.
I am telling you to not have vague expectations, “I am sure God will solve my health problems and problems of life for me.” You should take care of your health every day, you should listen to the Lord’s Word and learn about sins, you should keep yourself from sinning by taking action correctly, and you should make sure and repent if you have sinned. As you are living your life, you, yourself should make the effort and you, yourself, should do the work that you should do. Then you receive help from God and the Lord as you do that.
You have to live your life while making the effort and taking action in reality. Your spirit receives only what your body has actually done and uses it to achieve change and raise its level. The fact that your spirit has changed and raised its level means that your body has ‘taken action in reality.’
God’s Word is ‘the law of reason.’ If you take action deviating from reason and deviating from what is appropriate, then you have driven your own life incorrectly. God helps with ‘things that cannot be done by people even if they do it.’
God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son all will first, do things for you if it is appropriate, and second, reward you according to what you have done. Therefore, They weigh everything to see if it is appropriate. Is it work you should be doing that you are entrusting to Heaven? Is it work that you are incapable of doing that only the Almighty can do? Is it not working out even though you have kept all of God’s Word? They weigh and calculate everything. That is why before you entrust something to God, you should always check to see if it is appropriate or not. It should not be only partially appropriate either. This is ‘God’s absolute law.’ Do you change just because you heard the Word? No. If you heard the Word, you have to take action!! Then you change. You must not engage in vague faith. You must exercise faith of action, faith of checking. Otherwise your [faith] will become ‘delusional faith’.
The rapture also is ‘reality’ and not ‘a delusion.’ However, if you only think, you will not be raptured.Your body, thoughts, actions, daily life, and spirit will all change according to how much you have heard and taken action on the Word of the time period and according to that, your spirit will be raptured. Your faith too, only what you have taken action on in your daily life remains. That [accomplishment] will go to your soul and spirit and achieve change, and that remains in Heaven as ‘merit.’ I bless all of you again and again to live every day ‘the life of making miracles happen in every area by taking action according to the truth!’
