[Message] Pastor Jung Myeong Seok
[Scriptures] 1 Thessalonians 5:23
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hallelujah! I bid you the love of the eternal God and the peace of the Holy Son.
As a believer, you pray. The time of prayer is the time when you are sitting in front of God. However, it is not easy to pray deeply because of distracting thoughts. I will give you a message about how you can get rid of those distracting thoughts and pray deeply.
If a distracting thought comes to mind when you are praying, you should recognize it immediately, and throw it away immediately like you would throw away trash when a garbage truck passes by. When you are praying, you must do it while speaking clearly with your lips, and you must ask God, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Son earnestly. If you do, filthy distracting thoughts will become thinner and thinner like a thread and will ultimately not come to mind.
From now on, I urge you to focus and not doze off whenever you pray. You should discard distracting thoughts, and by surely praying with dedication, promise the things you will surely do before Heaven and ask for things you should ask for.
The core of the body is the thoughts. Therefore, people enter into deeper levels while focusing their thoughts and focusing their minds. Then they will encounter the core of their souls and spirits and if they go in even deeper, they will encounter the Trinity.
Whatever the body learns through knowledge has the limitation of being conceptual. If you know about the Trinity and the savior only through the body, your faith will stumble along the way.
Knowing something with the body is like only hearing about it. Knowing through the soul and spirit is like personally seeing it with your eyes. If you have realized something, it is as if you saw it with your eyes. Therefore, it is like having it stored and recorded in your brain. Therefore, you must know and realize through your soul and spirit!
Knowing the Trinity too. You must know about Them through the soul and spirit. This is the stage at which you realize the Trinity. Only then will your ‘body’ also realize and know 100 percent. Therefore, you will not be shaken but believe absolutely, be thankful and grateful, be moved and inspired, and will take action to the end.
You have to live a life that is spiritual and soul-oriented. Only then will you become a god as a human being. Everyone, call God, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Son every day and live your lives always communing with Them and loving Them. Only then will your body, soul and spirit live the ultimate lives and live with joy without blemishes.
