In a war, if you win, you gain. However, if you lose, you have things taken away, right?

The same is true in the midst of tribulations and suffering.

Due to tribulations, if people persevere and do well, they will gain more. But due to tribulations, if people give up and fail to do well, they will have things taken away.

Even when Jesus was being unjustly flogged because of the tribulations and persecutions of those who were ignorant, God did everything He needed to do at that time. He fulfilled what He needed to fulfill, saying that if He didn’t do it at that time, it wouldn’t have worked out.

Even while bearing the cross, Jesus said everything he needed to say, and bore the sins of everyone.  

If you don’t do what you need to do just because it is a time of tribulations and persecutions, then you will end after solving only one problem. If that happens, you will end after just receiving suffering.

Just as night comes, days of tribulation come; just as day comes, good days also come.

 

During good days, make yourselves strong. And during days of tribulation, fight and overcome with your minds and thoughts that you’ve made strong!

Just as the seasons come to everyone, both good days and days of tribulation come to everyone. Depending on how much you’ve prepared and trained yourself during the good days, you will overcome when the days of tribulation strike.

 

During times of tribulation, you have to hold onto and help one another get up. If there is no one to lift you up, you cannot get up. Two strands don’t break because they lift each other up.

Each of you should do the work you have to do while taking action with the things you have learned until now.

Realizing is the answer. Being inspired is the answer. Taking action is the answer. The Word is the answer. A person who doesn’t do it, even after realizing and knowing the answer, is like a person who knows the answer but doesn’t write it down, so they will live confined in the problem.

The Lord and the Holy Spirit teach you by making you realize at each time.
Listening to what the Lord and the Holy Spirit say and realizing is the answer. So when you realize, take action.

When situations are urgent, an inspiration is given to you. That is the answer. Therefore, earnestly ask to realize and to receive inspiration. If you have been inspired and have realized, take action immediately.

The Trinity are the answer. Ask earnestly. They will give the answer to the one who will do the work—the owner of the work. If They give the answer on the spot, take action immediately.

Now this has to be the year when you rise and shine. Therefore, as long as you do it with the willingness to do it, things will go well!
