Do It Even Faster
The Miracle of Time

Joshua 10:12-14

On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”

So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!

Today’s message delves even more deeply into the theme of the Sunday message. This week, the answer to all the questions that you’ve had is to do things quickly. As long as you do it swiftly, you will succeed. You will gain. However, if you don’t take action within the allotted time, the things you could have gained will go to someone else. Among the things that we have to do swiftly, there are things that are for individuals, and there are things that pertain to all of God’s people.

Those who take action swiftly are given the priority

They receive the benefit of discovering something first. God allows them to choose first, avoid bad things/events first, or go somewhere first. Since He’s given you priority, you must certainly take action 100%. But the problem is that people don’t know what can be gained by acting swiftly. It’s really sad when we don’t know.

Some things you will gain for the first time in your entire life. Some things you might have prayed about your whole life. It is a very important week for you, in terms of time as an individual, to gain things. In certain cases, you will gain something you have worked for your entire life, and in other cases, you will gain things that you’ve prayed 10 to 20 years for. Therefore, this will be a week that determines your destiny.

When God says to do it swiftly, the Word of God has already come and the Holy Spirit helps you to the utmost. That’s why the Holy Spirit gives you inspiration. Because you are given the inspiration, the conditions and circumstances to be able to accomplish the task appear, and the grace to do it comes. That’s why you’re able to do it. God gives you the grace to do what He has told you to do. In order for you to receive inspiration, He makes circumstances and situations happen, and many miracles of time also take place.

Is there anything that you have prayed for your entire life? Is there anything that you have prayed so much for? He may give it to you this week if you do it swiftly. So, do things swiftly. You have to know what it was that you had prayed for, to be able to gain it. If you’ve forgotten, you won’t be able to receive it.

Inspirational proverbs related to the this message:

Do it swiftly before the Lord has a change of heart.

Opportunities do not come often.

If you do things swiftly, then a history of stopping time happens.

If you do things swiftly, God and the Holy Spirit will do it together with you. Therefore, it will be resolved much sooner.

To do it even faster, God, the Holy Spirit and the Lord must work with you, be on your side, and the Lord must give you wisdom.

God and the Holy Spirit ride upon those who are swift and take action urgently.

You must do it swiftly, then it becomes yours. If you do it slowly, even what belongs to you will belong to someone else.

If you don’t do things swiftly, then it will belong to the other side. So do it before it changes to the other side.

When you act swiftly, you will win even if your opponent is strong.

The swift person becomes the king. Therefore, do your best.
A person who’s fast becomes a king of their individuality. Therefore, utilize your full potential. You all have the potential. In other words, all of you have the ability to act fast. Don’t just end with listening sweetly to the sermons but go all the way to drinking the bitter cup of taking action.

If you do things fast, then you will even achieve great works.

History has progressed from being a slower history to a faster and faster history.

With everything that needs to be done, you must do those things swiftly as if you are quickly saving your drowning child or lover.

Because we’re living while serving God, and God is much faster than human beings, we must act fast.

You must do it with the Trinity

You must act fast to not be off-balance. When you act fast, you can feel that God is with you. When the Holy Trinity are with you, you are inspired and therefore you take action fast as if you were divine. Your power and abilities are limited. Even if you try to do things fast, you can’t. God and the Holy Spirit have to give you strength. Then you can do it.

You must take action and completely make/develop yourself. You must not do it at a leisurely pace like the passage of the seasons. You have to make sure to do it. You have to take responsibility and do it.

When examining Joshua chapter 10, it doesn’t mean that Joshua had literally stopped the sun, which doesn’t move anyway. What happened was that he gained a lot of time by acting quickly. So the miracle was that he acted quickly. Miracles happen if you take action swiftly.

Originally, it takes a long time to fight a battle because you have to defeat your enemies. So it’s not done so easily. Joshua’s army was fighting against a formidable force. It was a difficult battle, but at that time, God killed more than half of the opponents by striking them down with large hailstones. As a result, Joshua won the battle in a much shorter amount of time, creating the illusion that the sun had actually stopped in the middle of the sky.

When doing things faster, we have to do it by seeking God more and being even more united with Him. If we do, then we can do things faster with God’s inspiration and power. There’s a limit to the amount of strength you have and the wisdom and knowledge you have. Therefore, it’s not going to work if you do things alone. God has to inspire and move your heart; then the circumstances will become favorable and everything will go well.

Therefore, hurry up and take action! Then, whatever you have waited for your entire lifetime will come true during this period when the Word has been proclaimed. People fail to receive because they fail to take action fast. What does it mean to take action fast and to do it even faster? We have to do it while being united with God, the Holy Spirit and the Lord; then we can do it faster. Only then can we gain everything by taking action faster.

As much as you are able to understand, I bless you to hear, realize, and take action. You must take action diligently and fast. Then everything can go well without any problems!
