[Scripture] Romans 12:2
2) Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Ephesians 4:23-24
23) to be made new in the attitude of your minds;
24) and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Hallelujah! To all of you who have come even today to present your ‘sincere bodies and hearts’ and give glory to God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son through <service>, I pray that the love of the eternal Holy Father God and the peace of the Holy Son be with you.
This past Sunday I spoke with the theme: ’Unless each person casts away their <old things>, they will fail to make <new things> and thus, cannot get raptured.’ and gave you the Word about ‘casting away the things you like physically, your old heart, old actions, and old habits’ and about ‘making yourself.’
Today, as I deliver the Word that pertains to that in the form of <proverbs>, I will enlighten you from a different angle by also giving the Word I did not get to deliver on Sunday.
If you fail to cast away your <old things> because you like them, even if <new things of the new times> come, you cannot acquire them.
If you do only the ‘things you like’ in that time, you cannot use that time as ‘God’s time, which is even better.’
Only the spirits of a person who believed in the one sent by God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son, who are the Absolute Beings, heard the Word of the time period that God and the Holy Son gave through him, and lived properly while obeying that Word, will rapture and go to Heaven.
Just as you use the lumber and build a house according to the plans in the form you want, and live in it, by taking action according to the Word of the Rapture that the Holy Son gives through the savior, your body, soul, and spirit will become transformed and thus, the ‘house of the Rapture’ called ‘yourself’ will be built, your soul and spirit will become the ‘Holy Son’s counterpart of love,’ become united with the Holy Son, and so you will go to and live in the <Golden City of Heaven>.
What was given by God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son was actually much bigger and better than what I first expected.
Even if you bought something, made it your own, decorated it like Heaven and lived there, once you sell it, because you are no longer its owner, you do not have any right over it, not even 1/100th. The same is true with your life. Do not sell your life to the world, and do not sell your life to the darkness.
<Time> is like a 'rough stone.' When you do something with that time, then it becomes a 'gemstone.'
God also works with the 'rough stones of human beings' and makes them according to their individual uniqueness. When making yourself, you must make yourself according to God's will toward you. Then you will become a 'person with the greatest value.'
I hope that 'transformation' will happen, 'history' will happen, and 'miracles' will happen by trying working hard with zeal for your spirit while investing your time, investing your body, investing your heart, and investing your actions for one year.
