[Scriptures] 2 Corinthians 6:2
For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
Matthew 24:42-44
42) “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
43) But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
44) So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
Hallelujah! To all of you who came to present your sincere bodies and hearts to God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son and to give glory through listening to the message, I bless you to be filled abundantly with the love of the eternal Holy Father God and the peace of the Holy Son.
“Do it when [He] is helping you even as much as a thread” means that even if [He] helps you a little as much as a thread, that time is the opportunity to do it. Therefore, do not think only that the help is little. Instead, you must do it at that time. That is what it means.
For everything you do, you must do them when the Holy Son is helping you even as much as a thread. You must do it when He is helping you even a little. If you fail to do it at that time, it is hard and difficult to do because you would have to do it by yourself.
It is because your ‘body, heart, thoughts, and brain’ are as if in a sleep-state because you are focusing on the work that you are doing at the moment.
That is why even if the Holy Son is helping you powerfully and making you feel it, you only feel and realize as much as a thread.In this way, if, while in the physical sleep-state in which your 'body, heart, and brain' are focused on a particular thing, you are awake spiritually by focusing your 'mind and thoughts' spiritually, the Holy Son’s help will not feel like a thread but you will feel it powerfully and clearly.
Therefore, you must do things strongly by first seeking the Holy Son and focusing your thoughts. Then you will hear the Holy Son's Word powerfully in your heart, and you will feel and realize clearly the messages the Holy Son is delivering to you in various ways.
When you look at Matthew 24:42-44, which are today's main scriptures, it says, “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
This was referring to the time of the ADVENT, but it was also talking about the 'Holy Son who comes to us every day and every hour in our daily lives.'
If you stay awake knowing when a thief will come to your house, you will never let the thief break into your house.
In this way, if you remain awake knowing when the Holy Son will visit you, you will receive and converse with the Holy Son every day, you will feel and realize the Word the Holy Son says to you, and thus you will live the way the Holy Son wants.
