What each of you needs to do to overcome and triumph in your life is different depending on your position and situation. However, ‘the fundamentals of a victorious life’ follow the same principle.
- You must do things with God the Almighty, then you will win.
- You must do things with Me, the Holy Son, then you will be saved and win.
- You must do things with the Holy Spirit, then you will win by taking action with the inspiration you receive.
The Bible describes those who were victorious from the Old Testament to the New Testament, so go ahead and look into those accounts. The victory of the wicked that is acquired by force is not a true victory. They will be judged by God in the end. A victory that is not God’s will nor My will is not a victory. It is [in fact] an act of evil done by force.
It is not a victory, but [rather] an act of failure and a violation of the law. It is not an eternal victory and they are not a victor. You should gain the victory that My Father the Almighty will acknowledge by doing things fairly, according to reason and Heaven’s will, through obedience within the perfect truth.
You should gain the victory that I, the Holy Son, will acknowledge. Only then will I give you the crown of glory and life. Also, I will grant you the blessing of the domain of life with which your spirit will be able to live forever. [On the other hand,] if a person gains victory wickedly by evil, by force, by slander, by distrust, by wicked words, or by making [others] terrified and scared, they will be judged. Their body and spirit will be harmed by death.
When they hear someone say, “So-and-so triumphed over death. They succeeded in life,” human beings usually think that that person is better off than others physically. This is like saying, “He has a lot of money—he has succeeded in life,” just because a man appears in nice clothes. Clothes are [only] the external covering. So if you speak of someone who is well off physically in the world and say, “They are living a successful life,” it is like saying someone is successful just because they are wearing flashy and sleek attire.
From My, the Holy Son’, standpoint, a person who has defeated Satan and the world through ‘righteousness’ and who has saved their spirit and made it into an everlasting and never-changing spirit is a person who is successful in life. Such a person is one who has overcome the world and who has overcome all kinds of pain, tribulations, trials, and hardships that have come their way.
You are a person who is successful in life only if you overcome and triumph over your life by being a righteous person. When the wicked swindle others out of their possessions and take things by force through all kinds [evil] deeds, and when they build a nice house, buy a nice car, make a lot of money by using any means and methods, and live boasting about themselves, people who do not know the truth will say, “Wow, they are successful!” But that is not the case.
A human being is [truly] successful only if they have overcome and succeeded in ways that are blameless from both the heaven’s and the earth’s standpoint. Those who succeed and win through [committing] unlawful deeds are criminals. A day of judgment will come upon them and they will be condemned. None of those who take advantage of Me, the Holy Son, with evil intentions and use religion for their own profit or glory, and none of those who do unlawful things by teaching falsehood to people and blinding them, are successful. They are not victors. On the day of judgment, I, the Holy Son, will tell them, “You, who have done unlawful deeds, depart from Me. Go to the place prepared for you.”
Fight with goodness and triumph over evil. This is how you can bring them to their knees naturally. Satan and the wicked fight and win by using force. Their personality is like that of Cain, so they subdue others by terrorizing them and by giving them orders. Take action holding My, the Holy Son’, hand. Pray and defeat [the wicked] only by love and goodness. Overcome trials, tribulations, and persecutions with righteous words and actions that edify [others]. Become victorious by being perfect. Trials, tribulations, and persecutions come for several reasons.
- First, they come because the generation is wicked. Also, trials and tribulations arise at home, at school, or at the workplace because of those who do not know Me, the Holy Son, properly. They arise because of those who believe but believe only superficially, they arise because of those who do things under the control of Satan, or they arise because of those who are ignorant and have heard the wicked words spoken by the wicked that were already judged. The righteous suffer because the generation is wicked.
- Second, trials, tribulations, and persecutions come because Satan and evildoers, being envious and jealous, harm, torment, and tear at those who are doing well.
- Third, trials, tribulations, and persecutions come because [you] do not pray.
- Fourth, trials, tribulations, and persecutions come because [you] fail to do things wisely.
- Fifth, trials, tribulations, and persecutions come because of [your] sin of disobeying God’s laws and breaking His decrees.
The world is a world of sin, a world of darkness, so pain comes just like waves rising in the ocean. Therefore, overcome by becoming one in heart and united with one another and by supporting and taking care of one another. Many times, you bring trials upon yourself. So receive wisdom and then do things. Do things after figuring them out and checking them.
You should always do things with Me, the Holy Son, and do them seriously while praying. You, who have overcome the trials, will be acknowledged by Me, the Holy Son, as ‘good’ even more and you will become bolder, more polished, and more watchful. So you will not fall into a trap you could have fallen into otherwise, and you will fulfill your hopes and dreams even more. Do not think you are alone. If you think you are alone, your heart will become even weaker because of fear.
I am watching to see if you seek Me, the Holy Son, absolutely. I, the Holy Son, am always next to you. Therefore, when you are going through tribulation, injustice, or persecution, do not think that you are alone, but call upon Me. Pray more, realize by being spiritual, and be bold. I hope that when things are difficult you will become even more united with Me, the Holy Son, and never change in love. I bid you peace. Let’s make your heart and spirit more perfect by being even more watchful. I am the Holy Son who loves you. Shalom!
