- Matthew 7:7-11 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
- Matthew 24:13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
This year is ‘the year of taking action.’ If you pray and take action to the end in line with the time of taking action, your dreams will become ‘reality’ and the present will also become ‘reality.’
‘Prayer’ is ‘work.’ If you work on building a house, ‘the house’ surely gets built, right? In this way, you have to pray detailed and specific prayers for yourself, for lives, for the family and for the nation. Then God will take action on it no matter what others may do.
Work gets done as much as you do the work. If you do a lacking job, it will be done in a lacking way. You have to pray 100% earnestly and sincerely. When praying, you have to pray thinking that your spirit, soul, and body are becoming beautifully equipped.
Only one thing – you have to exercise for a long time in order to build muscles and tone your physique. In the same way, you have to pray thinking that you have to pray that much [in order for things to happen]. In this way, you have to have a goal. Then you will pray. And you have to know that a precious work of art will be produced as a result. Then you will pray. If you pray, God will take action.
And when praying, you have to pray thinking that what you are doing is something that will earn money. However, you have to earn for many years in order to make tens of thousands of USD or hundreds of thousands of USD, right? The same is true with prayer.
You have to pray for many years. Then you will gain like you would ‘earn tens of thousands of USD.’ You have to pray deeply for many years. Then you will gain like you would ‘earn hundreds of thousands of USD.’ Now is ‘a time of reality.’ When you pray, you gain that much in reality. Also, when praying, you should pray thinking that you are gaining something you want the most and do it with that heart. If you do, you will pray for yourself, for your family, for lives, and for the nation with hope.
Also, you have to pray thinking that the people who are tormenting you and subjecting you to injustice are getting dealt with according to your thoughts when you keep praying sincerely and earnestly. Then you will surely pray no matter what. I want you to pray with absolute faith that the things you have wished for will come true if you pray sincerely, earnestly, and deeply for three months, four months, five months, or a whole year. Then you will surely do it consistently no matter what.
God, together with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Son, is holding what His beloved people need in order to give it to them. Therefore, He is just waiting for us to pray. That is why we must ‘pray prayers that are worthy of that.’ If you don’t pray even though God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son are waiting and waiting [for you to pray] and if you take prayer lightly even though you are taught how precious prayer is, then all the blessings go to those who have prayed. This year too, you must pray endlessly. You must pray earnestly. You must not stop in the middle of praying. You must pray to the end. When you pray, God and the Holy Spirit answer you and give you what you prayed for. In 2016 too – because I prayed and took action earnestly to the end, I received all the things I asked for and [everything I prayed for] came true. It happened just like the dream.
The same is true for the New Year. It will happen like the dream. When I went beyond the mountain peak to the other side of the mountain and to a place where people did not go, I gained a much more beautiful environment, rare rocks and trees. Things will happen this year like that dream. In order for that to happen, you have to take action while praying earnestly and diligently to the end. ‘Taking action’ is the answer and it is the solution.
‘The fire of taking action’ must not grow cold throughout the 365 days. ‘A dream’ is ‘a ticket.’ When you board a plane with a ticket, you are allowed to board. ‘A dream’ is ‘a promissory note’ that promises it will be given to you 100%. When you go to a bank with a promissory note, they give you cash. Since you have received ‘the ticket’ and ‘the promissory note’ this year too, as long as you take action to the end, you will surely fulfill the dream. The only thing is! You have to take action on your own within the Lord and with him as your head and you have to take action that do not go against God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son!
