- Isaiah 11:9 They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
- Isaiah 30:26 The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the LORD binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted.
People have to personally see, personally hear, or personally touch something in order to feel reality in a real way. What I am saying is that people consider ‘reality’ to be a big thing. ‘Symbols and parables’ tell and testify about the reality through other things. For example, the reality is testified to you using pictures, sculptures, creation, or various words as parables. However, symbols and parables are nothing more than evidence of the reality and nothing more than the shadow of reality. As a result, they don’t give 100% satisfaction nor do they feel real. Even if [you] touch a video, a photo, or a sculpture that metaphorically shows a certain person, it has no ‘sense of life.’ Seeing a photo of an object that is hundreds of times smaller than the actual object is really different from seeing the actual object. Photos merely help you remember. So unlike the real thing, it does not have a ‘sense of reality.’
The same is true with the Word. If you listen to the Word and only think about it, the Word will not feel real to you because it has no feeling of reality. If you heard the Word, you have to make it real by taking action on it in reality! Then you will see ‘the big [version]’ in a way that feels hundreds of times more real. Therefore, since a person who takes action lives making reality, neither his faith nor his thoughts will die. A person who does not take action has no reality because he does not make reality. Therefore, he will feel miserable and discouraged and will collapse because it doesn’t feel real to him and he has no sense of reality. Reality is really important. It makes you feel it in a real way, feel a sense of reality, and give you inspiration. You, yourselves, are also alive in reality. Therefore, how precious and great that is, right? However even if the reality is alive, if you don’t take action, it is like the reality not being present and therefore, the feeling, the inspiration, and the sense of reality, are weak.
While carrying out the salvation history for 6000 years, God has been working on making human beings [better] at higher ‘levels’ continually at each time period.
Resurrection is ‘change.’ It is ‘to come out of darkness.’ You become resurrected in this way and continuously achieve ‘better change and the better resurrection’ by continually listening to the Lord’s Word and taking action on it. A person who believes only the resurrection of corpses and the resurrection of the body is an ignorant person. The resurrection of the body will not happen even after a thousand, ten thousand years pass! The resurrection of the body will never happen! The rapture is ‘the complete resurrection. If you keep achieving better and better resurrection, then you arrive at completion.
Although there are many great things about God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son, one of them is the following: It is that They do not use things as they are. Instead, they make and transform things to be dozens, hundreds, and thousands of times better than the original form and then use them. If They use things as they are, They can’t use them in valuable and great ways. Therefore, the Trinity work with people to make them [better] and then use them. They let people make themselves great to the point of becoming ‘the Almighty Trinity’s counterparts of love’ that way. Since They make [people] to the point they become the counterparts of love to the Almighty Trinity, how tremendous that is!
The only thing is that you are made quickly as much as you are fervent. You are made quickly as much as materials are given to you. ‘The materials’ must be provided to your spirit by your body taking action. ‘The materials’ are your faith toward the Lord, your love toward the Lord, various works of faith, and your merits. Your body has to give these kinds of materials to your spirit by taking action. Then your body will be changed and your spirit will also be made [better].
You don’t feel that the spirit is real because it is not visible, right? At those moments, you can know it by looking at your body. The spirit is the original entity and the owner. However, it is not visible. That spirit takes action through the body. Therefore, your body has to take action properly with conviction. Then you will know the spirit, which is the original entity in a way that feels completely real. Height too. If you fail to grow at the right time, you will be unable to grow more and as a result, you must live at that height for your entire lifetime. Your spirit too. If it does not grow at the right time, it is unable to grow further. So you will end at that position forever.
Your spirit does not grow for no reason. Through righteousness your ‘beauty is completed’ and you ‘grow.’ When you look from the spiritual world, when a person’s body does not listen to the Lord’s Word and lives anyway it wishes, the spirit’s stature is short and the spirit itself remains not fully matured, and in some cases, the spirit is crippled. If you eat well and exercise diligently in an appropriate way during your growth period, your body will grow properly and each of your body parts will be properly balanced. If you don’t eat well and don’t exercise during your growth period, each body part will have noticeable shortcomings. ‘Making yourself’ is that great a work to do. Just as you would hurry up and make your ‘body’ beautiful and handsome during your period of growth by taking action on the things you should take action on, I hope that you will make your ‘heart and thoughts’ and ‘soul and spirit’ beautiful too!
You can tell a spirit’s authority by looking at ‘the spirit itself.’ The more a spirit possesses ‘beauty’ and ‘shines,’ the more that spirit possesses ‘authority.’ A spirit changes endlessly in accordance with what its physical body does. A spirit gets equipped with ‘beauty and light’ in accordance with what its body does and shows its authority. Your body has to take action a little more each day in various areas. If you do, your spirit will become slightly more beautiful and shine slightly more! Then your spirit’s position will become completely different!
Now that you have heard the Word, only one thing remains. It is to ‘take action every day.’ Everything you do in life doesn’t work out well the first time. You have to do it even if you tried it ten times before and they all didn’t work out! If you keep doing it, it becomes ‘practice’ and ‘training.’ Therefore, you will become skillful and ultimately succeed in the end.
