(This is a message that [the Lord] gave me when I was thinking that human beings have no more value after ‘death’ and that it’s sad that people end their lives without being able to display their value in a greater way.)
Whether they used to be a competent person, or a person full of knowledge, the moment they die, they become nothing. Nothing can be expected from that person any more. That’s why they say that wealth and fame are nothing but an empty dream of a spring day.
However, even for a person whose body is alive, if they don’t pull out and use the knowledge and information that are inside their head, then the knowledge and information are dead. It’s the same for the valuable things that are within [you]; if they are not expressed outward, then it is no different from not having them at all. What is the most valuable thing within you? (It’s my spirit.)
Yes, it is your spirit. Praying and becoming spiritual is not the only way to see what your spirit is thinking of and doing right now. The condition and appearance of your spirit are being shown through your body, so if you look carefully at the current appearance, actions, and condition of your body, you can learn about the condition of your spirit. Even if the body is tired, if you bring it out and pray in the predawn hours,
then that means that your spirit is also fulfilling its functions. You have already heard that the power of your spirit is infinite to the point that you cannot imagine with the thoughts of your body, haven’t you? However, how can such power of the spirit be put to use?
It is through the tool called ‘body.’ When the body struggles to make a more perfect spirit and when it asks, studies, and puts effort in order to reveal my images; that’s when the true value of your spirit can be displayed.
Out of your spirit, soul, and body, spirit is the most precious jewel. An immeasurable period of time of enduring is needed until that jewel can shine its light. Even when you have heard the Word, you only shine as much as the level of your spirit. Do you want to shine more? Do you want your life to be a more valuable life? Then overcome the pains of the body with thanksgiving. When you move forward in the midst of suffering and endurance, taking one step at a time, you will realize the value of your spirit in a way that it feels more precious to you. The issue is not whether the environment is good or bad. The issue is ‘the mentality.’
Does your spirit cower due to the influence of the environment? Is your spirit not able to fulfill its functions? [If so,] then that is because the spirit has not yet grown to be able to control the body and also because the spirit’s values are not displayed properly. In order to make a great history with me, quickly polish your spirit. Your spirit must be able to properly play the role of the mediator between me and your body. Then I can fulfill my will on earth.
Therefore, you changing and your spirit changing is the first step for making a great history with me. [Set] prayer condition and pre-dawn hour prayer every single day, admire the Word and read it in spare time, meditate, deliver the Word, manage the young ones with love, and diligently clean [yourself] through repentance….. Yes, it’s a busy [life.] At times, it is so tough, to the point that you’ll be short of breath.
However, through a process like this, your spirit will change. The pains of the physical body end when the body dies, But your spirit, which has grown to be strong in the midst of physical pains, will shine its light for eternity, and it will be able to stay with me forever. So if you think about that eternal value, don’t you think the difficulties of the body are something worth investing in? Life is not long. I hope that you’ll use it valuably. Live always setting your focus on ‘the eternal world.’
