Matthew 19:17
Why do you ask me about what is good? Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
John 14:15
If you love me, keep my commands.
Romans 1:20-23
20) For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21) For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22) Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
23) and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Hallelujah! I pray that you will be abundantly full of the love of the eternal Holy Father God and the peace of the Holy Son.
On every road, traffic lights are on, right?
A traffic light is silent, just with ‘red light’ on.
This means, “Stop for a moment!”
Then cars that have been driving toward it stop when the drivers see ‘the red light.’
At that time, the traffic light silently turns on the ‘green light’ for a moment!
At that moment, people see ‘the green light’ and cross the street.
In this situation, the ‘red light’ and the ‘green light’ are used
as sign that silently tells, “One moment.”
Let's say a driver is backing up. A passerby sees what’s going on around the car and tells him, “Wait a minute!” but, if the driver ignores that saying and keeps backing up, the car will fall to the bottom of a 20km cliff, and come to an end.
There is a different <meaning> and a different <thing to say> when He says ‘wait a minute’ compared to when He calls a person’s ‘name.’
“Wait a minute!” means
“Stop for a moment. You must not go any further.”
“Don't be that way.”
“Stand by. Stop.
“I have something to say.”
“Wait a minute!”are words used ‘‘when something is urgent at that instant’ and words used ‘when there is a problem at that instant.’
In this way, the Holy Son Lord says “Wait a minute!” and only make you stop.
At that moment, when you look at ‘your thoughts, deeds, or position of that instant,’
you will realize on your own why He said, “Wait a minute!”
When you are walking a dangerous path, right before you become enraged,
when you are misunderstanding your brothers without knowing,
when you are harboring a wicked heart,
when complains come forth when you should be thankful,
when you have left your wallet on top of a pay phone and are about to leave without it,
when you are not paying attention to your health,
when you are about to proceed with something you must not do,
when you are taking action having failed to discern and without checking,
when you are taking action based solely on your position,
when you are driving without being careful, the moment right before an accident happens,
when you are about to give up on various things you have been doing.
At these moments the Holy Son Lord says, “Wait a minute!” and urgently speaks to you and makes you stop.
At that moment you should realize that ‘there is a problem with what I was thinking, what I was doing,’ and handle it by immediately turning back.
Sometimes, the words “Wait a minute!” do not come as a voice but instead, are visible though something in nature that is appropriate for that. The Holy Son Lord speaks through, blocks through, and helps and takes action through creation.
Also He works through inspiration and helps you as He makes your heart strong.
“Wait a minute!” You must memorize this Word in your ‘head’ and always converse with the Holy Son Lord.
You must tell the Holy Son Lord “Wait a minute!” and call Him..
Destiny is determined by a ‘moment.’
Also blessing and misfortune are determined [by a moment].
Contained in the words “Wait a minute!” are the ways to avoid misfortune, receive blessings, and gain windfalls, and contains all the ways to discover the treasure hidden in a field.
I bless all of you to value this Word and take action on it.
