[Scriptures] James 2:26
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
Hallelujah!
I bless all of you to be abundantly filled with the love of the eternal God, peace of the Holy Son, and the inspiration and movement of the Holy Spirit.
As you begin the New Year and look ahead into the year, the end of the year looks very far away. But think about 2015.
When you see it at the very end, after the year has passed, one year passed by in an instant, right?
The same is true for this year.
Time must be used properly.
Don’t let it just flow away for nothing and don’t let it just disappear while you are relaxing,
but instead, you must do an abundance of work so that you use time sufficiently
without leaving any regrets.
Only then will you do the work properly no matter what you do.
Time and the moment are God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son.
Therefore, we have to keep the time and the moment. Only then will They work upon us.
Even if you have the materials and the skill and power, you cannot do your work if you don’t have time. Therefore, you must surely receive the blessing of time.
You have to keep the time. Only then will you receive the blessing of time.
No matter how much you pray and ask for things to go well and no matter how much you have the materials, skill, and power to do things well, you will receive blessings only if you keep the time.
If you want to achieve small and big successes in everything you do in life, you surely need time.
You must surely keep the time.
Anyone can keep the time fully if they want to keep the time.
If people really want to keep the time,
there is not one person who cannot keep it due to lack of skill.
Keeping the time doesn’t require great strength and it doesn’t present a great difficulty either.
If you don’t keep the time, you will die.
I bless you to keep this message in mind at all times, and, starting from the beginning of this year, hold tightly to your predawn prayer time, the time of conversing with the Trinity and the Lord, and keep it every day!
This year is the year of education.
And this year is the year of raising your level by receiving education and learning.
In other words, this year is the year of soaring up.
You have to raise your level in everything you do in life.
This is the condition for scoring a windfall this year.
What each of you want is at one level higher, and the things that God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son are trying to give you are also at one level higher.
If you go up one level, the things you have wanted are there.
If you go up one level, the things the Trinity will give you are there.
So, rather than just praying and asking for things, I hope you will raise your level.
If you go to that level, the things you wanted and prayed for are there.
In order for a person to raise his level, he must surely learn.
In order to truly know fully and realize the value properly, you must listen to and learn the Word that God is giving through the one that He has sent.
You should learn academics too, but you must also learn life.
You must learn the Will of the Creator God.
You must learn the Will of the Holy Spirit.
You must learn about salvation and about the rapture.
You must learn about what God wants in this time period.
You must learn about what kind of a life you should live before God.
You should not learn it only once and end with that.
But instead, you must always seriously learn about how you should take action before the Holy Trinity and the Lord, how you should live your life in the world, and how you should live your life of faith.
No matter who you are, you must always learn.
If you stop learning, you cannot raise your level, and you will ultimately end up going your own way because you are imprisoned in your own perspectives and because you take action according to your own level.
Each of you knows what you must fix.
You know your own shortcomings.
You know very well where you must raise your level.
If you have work to do but don’t do it, then it will remain undone your entire lifetime.
You should not do it by yourself but do it for God’s Will with God.
A life of faith is not a life you live only with the heart.
It is a life you live by being transformed and making yourself through taking action.
Do you eat food only with your heart, work only with your heart, and study only with your heart?
No. You take action in reality with your body, right?
Our lives are lived by taking action in reality.
The same is true with faith. The same is true with raising your level.
You have to make yourself while taking action.
Taking action in order to raise your level of faith and level of the rapture, is neither dangerous work, nor a risky venture.
Anyone can do it if they learn and then take action.
You will gain and enjoy the things you have taken action on forever.
Therefore, I hope that you will raise your level by 2, 3 or 4 steps this year.
Starting from when?- I told you that you must keep the time in order to succeed, right?
It is to give glory to God and raise your level starting from the first week of January.
This year, you must raise your level so that you will resemble the Trinity’s form more.
I bless that this year will be a year of raising your level in various ways and a year of soaring up.
