Knowing God’s Heart

People feel only a little bit of God’s heart and actions. That is why they worry, get anxious, and even suffer as much as they don’t know. You can live with God’s heart only if you become one with God in heart, love, and Will. What must you do in order to know God’s heart? It is to believe in the person sent by God absolutely, take action on that truth, and always take action with the spirit. If you do, then even though you are a human being, you will know much about both God’s joy and suffering, and you will know His heart steadily and not just for an instant. It is just like how people know a lot when their hearts are truly united.

Take Action With God

If someone doesn’t understand your heart, you will not work with them, and you cannot live with them. If you are trying to make things better for them and they don’t understand your heart, you will turn the will away because your heart and mind will burst with frustration. Therefore, do things together. Only then will you know and be strong. The more you know, the more you will understand and the more you will believe and follow without doubt. 

If you take action with God, you will know, feel, rejoice, and live with Him while laughing and crying with Him. When your heart and thoughts become one, your body will take action with Him. If you take action with all your heart before God, then things turn out according to your actions if it is appropriate. 

Then, what must you do in order to take action with God? It is to develop your heart and actions. It is to develop yourself into counterparts of God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son. To make this happen, pray deeply. Prayer is the reality of what you want. Do it steadily every day. Only then is it not difficult. It is very difficult to stop and start again. When hot water cools in winter, it is hard to make it hot again.  If you do it every day, it is easy because you are doing it on the foundation of what you have done. Do it until the end. You will experience suffering in the process. However, it is to do it with hope. If you do it to the end, you will be rewarded for your hard work, and you will experience joy for your lifetime. 

Take Action to Gain Understanding

When people don’t understand something, they freak out saying they can’t believe and can’t understand what God is doing. If you can’t understand, then take action together with God. You will understand if you become a righteous person by learning and taking action. If you want to understand a farmer, you must do as the farmer does and farm. Then you will understand why a farmer gets covered in dirt and their clothing becomes dirty, why their faces get tanned, why they sweat, and their bodies are dirty, why they can’t eat on time, and why their hearts are so consumed by their crops this way and that way. Only if you make fishing your occupation and live on the ocean for three years will you understand the heart of a fisherman that you could not otherwise understand. In this way, only if you believe absolutely, fix your actions completely, and take action following God will you understand.

God Takes Action in Advance

A great history must be done from hundreds of years ago. Only then will people prepare for and receive the new time period. Since God has to do it through people, He does it from long ago at the time of the ancestors. In order to receive the new history, God has been taking action by preparing from long ago. God prepared on the foundation of the Old Testament and carried out the New Testament. When you look at the New Testament history, in order to receive the new history, God has prepared for the new history by doing things in new ways from the time of the Old Testament, from the time of their ancestors 400 years ago, and from the time of Malachi. Jesus came on that foundation and carried out the New Testament history. God has always been carrying out the new history in advance by preparing beforehand in the past.
