[Message] Pastor Jung Myeong Seok
[Scriptures] 1 Thessalonians 5:23
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hallelujah! I bid you the love of the eternal God and the peace of the Holy Son.
When you are praying, you can’t go into deep prayer right away because distracting thoughts always come up. Idle thoughts and distracting thoughts do not come when you are looking at or listening to something and focusing [on it]. However, when you are praying quietly with your eyes closed, various distracting thoughts vigorously force their way into your mind. That’s the way the brain functions.
God gave us the way to become gods and live [as gods]. He gave each of you something ten billion times better than the most deluxe sedan or private jet. It is (!) your soul and spirit that are 4 trillion times faster than light. They are [the soul and spirit] that every single person possesses.
Almost all of you are using smartphones, right? Smartphones, as their name suggests, are truly smart. Those small smartphones do almost all the functions a computer. However, there is something even smarter than that. It is the brain smartphone. The performance of the brain smartphone is millions of times better than that of a smartphone.
That is why today, I will give you the Word telling you to control distracting thoughts and use your thoughts, soul and spirit, which are like gods.”
If a distracting thought comes to mind when you are praying, you should immediately decide, let’s cut it off! and cut it off like you would cut off a cyst. If distracting thoughts come up in your brain and you just leave them alone, they will keep coming one after another and you will end up thinking distracting thoughts. Therefore, when you are praying, you must do it while speaking clearly with your lips. And you must ask God, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Son earnestly. If you do, filthy distracting thoughts will become thinner and thinner like a thread and will ultimately not come to mind.
Even if you are not praying, if you just sit idly with your eyes closed during the day while [you are supposed to be] working or studying, distracting thoughts will come up in your brain. If you are idle, this thought and that thought will keep coming to mind. At those times too, if you kick them out with your words saying, “You worthless thought!” your brain cells will immediately cut off what you were thinking about.
The brain is always operating. It is [always] thinking. Therefore, you have to focus your thoughts. Only then will you center solely on the one thing that you are focused on, and only then will the distracting thoughts disappear.
Now, I will give you the second message about the way to use your soul and spirit.
Your soul and spirit are like your body’s beloved. Do not lament your life saying, “I don’t even have a small car.” Instead, use the soul and spirit that God gave to you! Even if you don’t have a deluxe sedan or a private jet, if you use your soul and spirit that God gave you, your soul and spirit will go there faster than 100 private jets and take action.
You have to use your soul and spirit like your own lover. Only then will you live with the best wisdom and thoughts. Also, I urge you to call God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son every day and live your lives always communing with Them and loving Them. Only then will your body, soul and spirit live the ultimate lives and live with joy without blemishes.
God created human beings so He could love and connect with them. So He made the line of the brain that connects with Him as the core. I urge you to use the brain smartphone and your soul and spirit that the Almighty and mysterious absolute Being God made and to never live low-level lives using only the body!
With the smartphone, which is a machine that your body uses, you cannot connect with God, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Son. Therefore, you should connect with the trinity and the Lord every day while using your brain’s thoughts and your soul and spirit like your beloved.
Today you have listened to a precious message enlightening you to keep you body, soul and spirit blameless. I bless you to control your distracting thoughts, to use your thoughts, soul and spirit throughout your entire lifetime and to always commune with the Heavens in order to prosper in everything you do.
