[Scriptures] Proverbs 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Matthew 22: 37-40
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Hallelujah! I bid you the love of the eternal God and the peace of the Holy Son.
Besides showing things directly through action, the next easiest method to convey something for people to understand is speech. When a person hears something in the form of speech, it sounds inviting and it touches the heart. That is why you have to speak in a way that feels real, speak intensely, and, depending on the content, you have to vary the strength of delivery between strong, ordinary and mild.
If you receive the power of speech, your words will tear down castles, cause earthquakes, make typhoons blow, and even make rain fall. This is because when a person who has received the power of speech and the power of God speaks, God commands creation and takes action.
Elijah received the power of God and stopped ‘the rain’. In that time period, King Ahab did all kinds of evil and worshipped idols. At this, Elijah, the prophet of God, said, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.” It really happened according to those words, and the nation of Israel at the time suffered from a terrible drought.
Afterwards Elijah built an altar to God on Mt. Carmel, received the answer by fire, and defeated the 850 false prophets who worshipped idols. After that, just as Elijah said, it rained again.
This was the working of God.
Now I will give you the Word about thoughts.The core of a person’s form is the body. And this body moves with thoughts. Therefore, the core of a human being is the core of a human being is the thoughts. Therefore, a person has to really think well.
According to thoughts people take action, according to those actions, the life of their bodies is and according to the deeds of their bodies, their souls and spirits are also made and transformed, thus determining the destiny of their souls and spirits. Therefore, thoughts have [power like] the nuclear bomb of the physical world and the spiritual world.
The core of the spirit-soul-and-body is the thoughts that mediate between the spirit-soul-and-body. Thoughts make the body take action. Thoughts make the soul take action. And through that, [the soul] connects with the spirit and thus causes the spirit to transform. That is why thoughts must become a god.
Human beings must receive the Word of God and the thoughts of God, who is Divine, and live according to that Word and those thoughts. Only then can a person become a god as a human being and live like a god. The more you focus your thoughts, the more they will become divine thoughts and you will control them. Then accidents will not happen. If you don’t want accidents to happen, no matter what you are doing, unite with the Almighty Trinity by focusing your mind and thoughts. I bless you to always focus your thoughts, live with the Trinity’s thoughts firmly planted in your center and therefore raise your level of faith.
