[Scriptures] Matthew 13:15-17
15) For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.’
16) But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;
17) for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
Hallelujah! I bless you to be filled abundantly with the love of the eternal Holy Father God and the peace of the Holy Son.
A house and a building have a DOOR. The DOOR is the ‘entrance through which you enter a house.’ Therefore, you must go through the DOOR to be able to enter a ‘house.’ Instead of going through a DOOR, if you enter the house through a window, a chimney, or any other way, you will be treated like you are a ‘thief.’
In the same way, when it comes to both ‘receiving salvation,’ there is also a DOOR. The ‘savior of the time period whom God sent is the DOOR OF SALVATION.
If you look at the entire Bible history [you'll see that] there was absolutely not even one person who achieved salvation by themselves. God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son sent ‘one chosen person’ in each time period and fulfilled SALVATION while giving the Word through that person.
At NOAH’S TIME, only those who believed in ‘Noah,’ heard ‘Noah’s Words,’ and believed in ‘God’ and at MOSES’ TIME, only those who believed in ‘Moses,’ heard ‘Moses’ Word,’ and believed in ‘God,’ received salvation.
From the TIME OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, THE TIME OF JESUS when ‘Jesus’ came, only those who believed in ‘Jesus,’ heard ‘Jesus’ Word’ and believed in ‘God’ got out of the domain of death in both their bodies and spirits, came to the domain of life, and received salvation.
It is something you fulfill by first believing in the savior, hearing the Holy Son’s Word that he delivers, and taking action according to the Word with your heart and body.
Now I will deliver the Word, ‘The right time is the opportunity,’ so I pray that all of you will become people who realize when the ‘right time’ is, not miss the ‘right time,’ and seize the OPPORTUNITY.
‘Spring wild herbs’ can be eaten only if they are picked in SPRING. If you pick the ‘spring wild herbs’ in SUMMER or FALL, you cannot eat them. This is true for the SALVATION and the same with EVERYTHING YOU DO IN LIFE. If you do things having missed the ‘time,’ it is useless because by the time you do them, they have become spoiled.
The same is true with GOD’S TIME PERIOD. It has to be done at the ‘right time.’
With EVERYTHING WE DO IN LIFE, the ‘right time is the opportunity.’ There is the ‘time that is set by God.’ So as long as our BODIES are alive and our HEARTS, MINDS, AND DEEDS are alive, we can make this present time right now into the ‘time of the greatest opportunity.’
I pray that all of you will achieve the SALVATION by holding this time tightly and taking action without regrets!
