Today I am going to give you a message about three items that are absolutely [essential] to achieving success and victory. I will tell you about the first thing that is absolutely [essential] to succeeding and winning, which is ‘be swift.’ In the Olympics and in every athletic competition, there are standards of victory. It is this: ‘The faster person’ is selected as the winner.
“Whoever is swift will succeed.” This law is an absolute law that God gave to human beings. Whenever you are taking action for God’s Will or with your purpose, you have to take action swiftly. Then there is high probability of success and victory. Whether you are participating in a race in which you contend for victory or just living your life, ‘whoever does it faster’ succeeds and wins.
You have to be swift. Then you will get it done before it is too late, you will do it before the Cains take it away, you will do it before Satan’s time comes and thus satans and wicked people attack, and you will do it before the opposing side attacks and before you fight against the opposing side. If you don’t take action swiftly every day, you will fail every day.
The person who takes action swiftly at the time the Lord tells him is the skillful person, will become a swift cloud, and will make the Lord’s Will a reality and will also make their own wish come true.
I will tell you about the second thing that is absolutely [essential] to succeeding and winning, which is ‘fix [yourself].’ If you want to be someone who does a good job, you have to fix your shortcomings. You have to fix them. Then you will become proficient and can be used valuably. Ultimately, you can say that ‘a person who does a good job’ is ‘a person who has fixed himself.’
Developing is also a form of fixing. Repenting and becoming a new person is also a form of fixing. When living life, when living your life of faith too, the more you fix your thoughts, actions, contradictions, and shortcomings, the higher the probability for success in that area will be and you will ultimately win. Whoever fixes their thoughts into the thoughts of the Holy Trinity, whoever fixes the things that are not appropriate in the sight of God and the Holy Spirit, and whoever fixes their contradictions and makes their hearts and thoughts perfect will have high possibility of success, great probability for success, and ultimately, they will succeed.
God’s salvation history that was carried out for 6000 years was ultimately a history of fixing people’s thoughts, mentality, and actions into divine [thoughts, mentality, and actions] by transforming them through having all lives listen to the Word of God and take action. The history that was not fixed fell behind as the old time period. God raptures and fulfills the Purpose of Creation in the end with the people who fixed themselves by hearing the Word of truth and taking action.
You have to fix yourself and take action. Then you will shine. And you will exhibit your full performance abilities and exhibit your skills. You, yourself don’t have a good knowledge of your own contradictions and negative points and your thoughts and actions that are abnormal like something that is broken. On the other hand, others know [those things about you] well because they see you from beside you. That is why people take someone who can see them well as ‘a mentor.’ However, at times, people can make mistakes because they are people. That is why you always have to wash yourself away with ‘the water of the Word’ and fix yourselves while never losing your desire to fix yourself. However, you cannot fix yourself if you don’t ‘acknowledge’ them. When you discover your contradictions, you have to acknowledge them. Then you will pay attention to it and fix it.
Your spirit’s form is made as much as your body has fixed its thoughts and actions. You will go to and live at the appropriate level in the spiritual world according to that spirit’s form. As much as you have fixed yourself, your spirit will become a perfected form and live in the high level Heaven, and as much as you have not fixed yourself, your spirit will form to that degree and live in a world that is below [that level]. ‘Spirits of people who have fixed themselves’ go to Heaven and ‘spirits of people who have not fixed themselves’ go to Hell.
Fixing is ‘a blessing’ too. The blessing of fixing is truly ‘great and majestic.’ Therefore, a person who fixes himself is ‘a person who does a blessed act.’
No matter who you are, you have to fix your bad personality, heart and actions. Then you will look pretty and beautiful, and will be adorable and lovable. As much as you fix yourself, your heart, thoughts, and actions shine and as much as you fix yourself, your spirit will shine and become wondrous and beautiful. All of you too. You should not just say, “There is nothing for me to fix” Instead, you have to check the reality by checking through prayer and checking through dreams. And you have to make your mentality and thoughts perfect. You have to fix your mentality.
Your thoughts are different from God’s thoughts and the Lord’s thoughts. Therefore, you have to cut off your own thoughts and live by God’s thoughts and the Lord’s thoughts. Even lovers will separate and travel down ‘a path of never meeting each other again’ because their thoughts and actions don’t fit. The same is true with the Lord.
You end up going down ‘a path of never meeting the Lord again’ because your heart and actions don’t fit. You have to make the Lord your head, make yourself the body, and you live by ‘the Lord’s thoughts.’ A person who lives like this is a person who is united with the Lord. Therefore, he will never separate from the Lord and will live in the same place.
I will tell you about the last thing that is absolutely [essential] to winning and succeeding, which is the third item, ‘Do a lot.’ In soccer, basketball, and handball games, the team that scores a lot, even one more goal wins. The same is true with evangelism and management. The person who evangelized even one more person and saved them by managing them gains more lives and succeeds and wins. Money too – You have to have a lot of money. Then you can do that much bigger work, run big businesses, and build big houses and church buildings. If you have a few million won or a few tens of millions of won (a few thousand USD or a few tens of thousands of USD), you can spend only that much money. If you have hundreds of millions, billions, tens of billions or hundreds of billions or trillions of won (hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or billions of USD), you can succeed and win that much more.
Spiritually, ‘righteousness’ is money. You have to have a lot of righteousness by doing a lot of deeds of righteousness. Then you will be that much more at the highest position spiritually. If you do a lot, miracles will happen and you will become a god as a human being. The person who did a lot of work in the Lord in the right way changed a lot more than someone who did a little, gained more, and ultimately succeeded and won in both faith and life. The people who are busy and run and take action a lot in the Lord will be victorious in life! You should have a lot of conversations with God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son Lord. You should give a lot of glory to the Trinity. You should love God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son Lord a lot. And you should be thankful a lot. Then you will confidently succeed and win among many people.
