Do pray but pray a prayer that is fitting to the Father’s will and my will, then it will be fulfilled. Those who pray need to surely know this. Don’t think that prayers are fulfilled only the way you’d like or according to the contents of your prayer. With all things that are in me, I look at all things and take action based on the times.
If you pray, you will win in your heart, Satan will not take control over you, and you will not stumble. When you pray, you will receive answers, and even during tribulation, you will feel heaven in your heart because of joyfulness, you will run more fervently and you will be able to gain what you couldn’t gain before. So for sure, pray.
If you don’t pray, and when you face tribulations and difficulties, you will resent and doubt my Father, the Holy Spirit and me, you will then be saying that we haven’t helped you.
You will feel isolated because you do not have love. So pray during tribulation. The wiser prayer is to pray before tribulation strikes. In the days ahead, small and big tribulations will strike each individual, family, church, and nation, so pray beforehand.
Pray and make your heart and mind into gold so that it will not change, rise the fortified walls of bronze in your heart well beforehand and prepare yourself. Then, when we do fight, will victory not be ours? For some things, all you need to do is inform me through a prayer. But for most things, you first have to pray, and you need to take action according to the determinations and promises you made during prayers.
When it comes to things that you cannot do, pray. Even for things that you can do, pray and take action. There are things that you will gain through prayer alone, but [for the most part] you must take action to obtain it. You cannot gain anything in your entire life if you don’t take action, even if they are things you have already received an answer for. You will start gaining from the point you take action. First, make up your mind and second, take action. These two [components] must simultaneously be one.
Those who live only through their hearts are poor and don’t gain much. You must live through the heart and through action in order to make gains and live in abundance. Those who don’t take action are far from me regardless of how close they seem.
They are people who have turned their backs on me. Those who take action are close to me because they stand face to face with me. So they are close to me even if they are ten or twenty meters away from me because they take action looking at me.
Take action in order to receive those things for which you prayed. People with mental problems, and those who are absent-minded and do nothing are not able to take action, and even if they do, they do things that they’re not supposed to do. Even when you take action, it’s all about “having discussion with me,” and “having conversation with me!” And even when you pray, it’s all about “having discussion with me,” and “having conversation with me!”
Look at those who are praying at the predawn hours. You must not rest just because it’s difficult praying or you cannot enter into a deep prayer. You must do it at once.
Whether it’s for half an hour, one hour, two hours, or three hours, you must do it at once without resting. When people are on their way to a destination, there is a big difference between taking a break on the way, and going there [directly]. It will make a difference in terms of time, and the work you will do once you arrive at the destination will change.
Let’s say that you are supposed to boil something at one hundred degrees*. (*=Celsius) If you boil water to fifty degrees; wait until the water cools; boil the water to seventy degrees again; wait until water cools again; and boil up to ninety degrees, you will not be able to reach one hundred degrees within the due time. The same is true for those who take a break whether it’s work or prayer. Pray deeply. Will you get to where you want to go if all you do is turn on the car engine?
So don’t just turn on the heart’s engine to pray, but open your mouth and tell [me] what’s on your mind. Just as conversations get deeper the more you communicate, your prayer will deepen the more you pray. In order for you to be inspired by your own prayer or someone who listens to your prayer, it must be deep. Pray thinking that only wholesome prayers are conveyed to my heart and only the sound of such prayers reach my ears, and are heard by my Father and the Holy Spirit. You must pray and take action to stand out and be noticeable to me. But don’t just pray, but also take action. Take action when you are inspired because it’s a window of opportunity. As you take action, as you think, as you make an effort, put it to practice judging and discerning in order to improve.
It is the victory of prayer and the victory of action. It is prayer and action. Do it until the end. Pray without falling asleep or being distracted by useless thoughts; take action. If you go off track just once while praying, that prayer will be a failure. If you deviate from work while working, it’s hard to do that work again, and your thoughts will change often making it difficult for you to take action again. Eventually, you will not do it.
There is someone among you who arrived all the way to the front [door] of your house, and instead of going into the house, you fell asleep in your car with the engine on and lost your life. Even if you are tired, you should go into the house and go all the way into your room, don’t you think? If you knew that was going to happen, would you have slept in the car?
Those who take action meet me often. Those who pray with the purpose of conversing with me easily meet me. The winners and the strong are those who act. Each of you will know how powerful or how weak (old) the engine of your mentality is.
The more you make up your mind to renew your mind, the newer it will be made and the more strength and power that will spring forth from it. Prayer and action will lead you to victory. I pray that all of you will be filled with prayer and action in addition to being filled with my word of life. I am the Lord that wishes and waits for you to act.
