1 John 4:6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
When a person does not know something, then he is blind in that area. When he comes to know correctly about that item, it is as if his eyes are open. When you are sleeping, you don’t know, right? Therefore, a person who does not know is like ‘a sleeping person’ and like ‘the blind.’ Whatever area it may be, if you are blind, you cannot see correctly and therefore, it is a loss for you since you are unable to do things properly. If a business person is blind in that area, then he will incur terrible losses and come to ruin. If a teacher is blind in that area, it is like the blind leading the blind and therefore, [people] will end up falling into a pit. Therefore, if you want to get out of being blind, you have to take action together with someone whose eyes are open. In other words, you have to take action together with someone whose eyes of Spirit are open and who is wise both physically and spiritually.
The same is true with faith. If you are ignorant about a certain subject, you will also become a blind person and will follow other blind people. Then as you do that, you will have accidents in that area. Consider God’s history. Always, the blind people of the former time period, without knowing [God’s history], blocked it while laying out theories that opposed God’s new history. The slanderers are also blind because they slander without knowing.
That is why they lay out theories that oppose God’s new history and persecute and interfere with the new history. The blind set their house on fire with incorrect mentality. That house is ‘the house of their heart.’ Therefore, if you accept their theories as a result of ignorant mentality, the house of your heart will catch fire and will burn down completely.
If you don’t know the areas in which you are blind, then you cannot fix it. If you run while being blind, you are trying to do things while unable to see. So it is very frustrating, right? I hope that you will listen to the Word and realize. You can fix it only if you know. You have to listen to the Word, truly repent, and get out of being ‘blind.’
Next I will deliver that message about ‘organizing and incinerating.’ ‘Organizing’ is a temporary measure to deal with the urgent matters for now. ‘Incinerating’ is when you have solved the fundamental problem. Cleaning up and collecting trash in one part of the house is nothing more than organizing. If you leave it that way, it will produce stench and you cannot live in that house. Once time comes, you have to throw it away on garbage pickup day. This is ‘incinerating.’ You have to do this. Only then will it become clean.
There are many people who only make plans about things to do but do not take action on them. That is ‘organizing.’ Therefore, it is clean for now, but in the course of living, it will soon become messy again. You have to incinerate them away. ‘Incinerating’ is to get rid of the work you need to do by getting them done.
The same is true with faith. Only setting your heart to get it done is ‘organizing.’ Therefore, it will not lead to solving it fundamentally. Therefore, it will get backed up again, become messy again, and give you a headache, and you will go back to the way it was before without achieving fundamental transformation. You have to get rid of it altogether by getting it done. This is ‘incinerating.’
People who only organize and do not incinerate will lay things out in their rooms again when similar situations and circumstances occur again. If you get rid of and incinerate them altogether, you will continually maintain a clean room. The same is true with ‘repenting for sins.’ You should not only organize but completely incinerate. Repentance too.
The state in which you have decided to do it is like you organizing the trash and piling it up in your house in order to throw it away. You have to get rid of it by truly repenting. Then it is like you have incinerated trash and therefore, problems will not occur as a result of that.
I hope that you will repent by telling the Lord, be forgiven, and completely incinerate your sins. Whatever you have only organized will become messy again if you move and work again.
The same is true with bad thoughts. Just making up your mind to throw away bad thoughts from your brain is ‘organizing.’ If you do that, bad thoughts will jump out again as you live your daily life. You have to not think such thoughts at all and fix them. Then they are incinerated and perfect. With bad character, personality, anger, rage, lying, and deception: just setting your heart to not do them is ‘organizing.’ Since they are not incinerated, they will jump out again as you live your daily life. Completely fixing it and getting rid of it altogether is ‘incineration.’ You have to incinerate. Then from then on, you will not do it because it does not exist.
When you are sick too: If all you do is take medicine and calm down temporarily, it is nothing more than ‘organizing.’ Therefore, problems will occur again later as a result of that. You have to let yourself be healed fundamentally by getting surgery or getting treatment over a long period of time. Then you have incinerated it and therefore, you will be healed altogether and the problem will be solved. Both in faith and in life, you should not just organize bad things in your head but instead, you should incinerate them altogether.
Just saying “Yes. That’s right” without absolutely obeying the Lord’s words is nothing more than ‘organizing.’ In the end, your own opinions will come out while you are living your daily life and you will end up justifying yourself by adding to the Lord’s words. You have to live ‘an incinerating life’ by believing in and following perfectly. Glory goes to those who say Amen to the Lord’s words. Those who believed the Lord’s Word as he gave them, said, “Amen, Amen” and took action on it have transformed to the degree that other people cannot even imagine. Because they became united with the Lord by absolutely believing in and taking action on the Lord’s words, their spirits transformed in a flash in no time as a result of those deeds. If you stop after doing it for a short time or don’t take action with all your heart, you have only organized and therefore, you have changed only temporarily. You have to do it with all your heart. Then incineration will happen and ‘fundamental change’ will occur.
When you are transformed, things that did not exist before will come into existence. Therefore, ‘transformation’ is construction and development. Starting from now, you should not end at a life of organizing but live the life of incinerating. In other words, you have to go beyond the life of organizing in which you only make up your mind to take action and only make plans. If you only organize, when the time comes, you will return to the original state. You have to incinerate. Only then will fundamental transformation occur, and as a result of the transformation, you will gain things that did not exist before and will raise your ‘level’ even more.
Even with big mountain too: If all you do is organize the weeds and unnecessary vegetation, it will become covered again with weeds and vegetation when the time comes. You have to flatten the big mountain, turn it into flat ground, and build a house on it. If you do that, it will be completely transformed and will not become ‘a mountain’ again.
In this way, completely finishing the things you should do and making yourself is incineration. If you do that, you will never go back to the past. From that time on, it is ‘a complete transformation and a new world.’ In this way, I hope you will live ‘the life of completely settling things and incinerating.’
