[Scriptures] 1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Hallelujah! I pray that all of you are filled abundantly with the love of the eternal Holy Father God and the peace of the Holy Son.
Even though the WIND is next to you, if you sit still, you cannot feel it. If you are fervent and run, then you can feel it as your clothing and hair flutter in the wind. Likewise, you are able to feel when you are fervent.
God, the Holy Spirit, and I, the Holy Son, are like that too. No matter how much the Holy Son loves you. You will be able to feel the Holy Son’s love only if you are fervent yourself. You can feel only as much as you are fervent.
A negative tendency of people is that they grow cold right away even after they were fervent. When people are fervent, they become a ‘ball of fire’ and [do things] faithfully. However, when the fervor dies down, they grow frigid and so become ‘blocks of ice.’
If they are left alone as ‘blocks of ice’ they have become, no matter what they do, they have no strength, get exhausted, and so will soon even give up on everything. However, if they become fervent again, the ‘ice’ will melt and they will become a ‘ball of fire.’
To be fervent means to run your body by focusing your heart, mind, and thoughts, and to strive with all your heart, will, and life. In other words, just as you must be fervent in order for you to become hot, you must exert strength in order for you to gain strength.
ELECTRONICS too. You must ‘supply power’ by connecting the ‘electrical wire’ in order for them to operate. In the same way, PEOPLE too. To be fervent is to put the ‘body’ into operation by focusing the ‘heart, mind, and thoughts.’
Now is the ‘time to be fervent.’ ‘The side that gives love’ feels much more love than ‘the side that receives love.’ Therefore, it is you, who should open the door, enter,
and take action while also calling ‘God,’ calling the ‘Holy Spirit,’ and calling the ‘Holy Son.’
RAPTURE too is something you achieve in your ‘everyday life’ by ‘you,’ being fervent yourself.
Therefore, in order to rapture, you yourself must do it. If you run with zeal, your pores will open up, and sweat will stream down like rain. Likewise, you must be fervent. Then the DOOR OF LOVE WITH THE HOLY SON will open and so it will become a ‘waterfall love.’
Now is the ‘time to be fervent’ so I pray that you will try being fervent ‘in your everyday life’ so that you will surely achieve victory.
