- Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
- Ephesians 4:23-24…to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
In the predawn of the day I wrote this message, the Holy Son said: “If you fail to cast away from your ‘brains’ and ‘actions’ the things you like away from Me, the Holy Son, you cannot make yourselves new.” He said. If you cannot cast away your old things that you like, then you cannot accept new things. As a result, you cannot make yourselves new. Unless you cast away the ‘old thoughts, old actions, and various environments’ that you like, you cannot make yourself into the spirit of the Rapture that God planned and you cannot make the world of Heaven. You must completely get rid of the worldly things your body likes and does, your old heart, old actions, old habits, and old ways. Only then can you make yourself into a person of God who is on the side of Heaven.
If you do not cast away your old things completely, God cannot do it and the Holy Son also cannot do it either. You must cast away your old things by doing ‘your responsibilities.’ You must take off all of the ‘dirty clothes’ 100%. Then you can change into ‘clean new clothes.’ In the same way, it is for you to cast away all~ of the ‘old things’ and ‘live new lives with the Word of the time period.’
There are thousands or tens of thousands of times the difference between ‘Something that is made’ and ‘something that is not made.’ In fact, they cannot be compared at all.
- If you make yourself, you will receive salvation and rapture, and thus go to Heaven.
- If you fail to make yourself, you will not rapture and so you will go to Hell.
- If you make yourself, you are hope and joy to yourself.
- If you make yourself, you will live with eternal expectations on yourself.
- As much as you make yourself, you will receive and enjoy the benefits the Holy Son and the Lord give you.
You must completely cast away your old things to be able to make yourself new but casting away the old things is really not so easy. Even though you know that you must cast away your old things, when you actually try to cast them away, you feel they are too valuable to cast away. However, if you want to make yourself completely, you must cast away your old things completely. You are made as much as you cast away. You can cast things away as much as you have made yourself. You must make yourself with persistence and effort enduring pain like that of carving out your bones and carving out your flesh. Then Satan will not drag you off to Hell.
A diamond too, if it remains as a rough stone, it is treated as ‘just a strong rock.’ Therefore, it will only be called a ‘diamond’ [but nothing more]. However, if it is processed and made, it is not ‘treated like a rock,’ but is treated like a ‘gemstone.’ It is as if a ‘rock’ raptured into a ‘gemstone.’ As a result, it will shine and be worth a thousand times more than the rough stone. If you like a rough diamond stone and keep it that way, you will live your entire lifetime with just a diamond rock. A 3-carat rough diamond is only worth as much as a single meal. However, if it is processed and made, its value becomes 20 million won* or 30 million won. (*20 million won= $20,000 us. 30 million won = $30,000 us) People too. Before they are made, they are like a ‘rough diamond before processing.’ You also must make yourself. Then you will be more valuable and will shine.
If you make yourself, you will have a value that is beyond any price in this world. When a ‘person who made [himself]’ uses one minute, that time is worth ten million won ($10,000 US). Even one bundle of seaweed laver is nothing more than ‘moss in the ocean’ until it is made. A bundle of seaweed laver is worth only a few hundred won (a few dozen cents). However, when it is processed, it becomes a ‘side dish at the table’ and becomes dozens of times more expensive. When it is made, its ‘taste,’ ‘looks,’ and ‘where it is used’ become different. In this way, when people are also made, their ‘hearts,’ ‘beauty,’ ‘value,’ and ‘where they are used,’ ‘what they receive,’ and their ‘owner’–all change. Even their ‘location in Heaven’ changes.
People work all day on office work, studying, and things they like to do in their daily lives. However, when it comes to the work of ‘making themselves,’ they are very stingy with their time even though they are living for an entire day. They are stingy with prayer, spending only 2~3 minutes or 10 minutes, and with putting the Word into practice, spending only 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or 30 minutes. Will you be made if you are that stingy with investing your time? Everyone, with such rotten hearts and minds, you cannot be made. Everyone, you should cast away your old things, make up your minds, and make yourselves. You, who are not casting away your old things but are doing things as they are, [you] must immediately repent, make up your minds, and take action.
The ‘body’ does not have clear knowledge of this. It does not know because the body cannot see its own spirit. The ‘spirit’ keeps doing tremendous things in order to become transformed into a bright spirit and thus rapture. A ‘spirit that is in the process of making itself’ lives filled with hope about itself and its ‘body’ also lives filled with hope as a result of that influence. The Holy Son also invests in that spirit. You must make yourself and be completed. Then you are acknowledged. Becoming complete through being made is the Rapture.
People who have opened their eyes to making themselves absolutely do not let their eyes and hearts get distracted by the world and unrighteous things, but use all of their strength on making themselves. People who do not know the value of making themselves will stop making themselves in the middle. Everyone, you must take action aggressively on making yourselves. People who have made themselves have thrown away the ‘unrighteous hearts and actions’ like excrement, and have gained momentum. So the more time passes, the more their skills to make themselves will increase and therefore, making themselves becomes easier.
‘What materials’ did the people who have made themselves use to make themselves? They make themselves using the Word of God and the Holy Son as their ‘materials’ and taking action on them. It is 100% possible for anyone to make themselves. You must become completed. Then you become a body that is united with the Lord with love.
