The Word and Prayer

John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Mark 11:24

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

To Realize the Word Well, One Must First Realize Jesus Well

John 1:14 says that the Word became flesh and came to us. God’s Word came using Jesus as the body. You need to realize how important this Word is and act on it. However, to realize the Word well, first, you need to realize about Jesus well. 

Jesus said that the New Testament testifies about him. This is conveyed in John 5:39, where Jesus says, “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me.” Since Jesus said that the Bible testifies about him, realize that the King of kings, and the Lord of lords mentioned in Revelation 19:16 is referring to Jesus.

Matthew 7:13-14 says,

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

The narrow gate is Jesus.

Also, Matthew 7:24-25 says,

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”

The rock is Jesus. No matter what happens, you need to center on this Word, not lean to the right or to the left, and live with the joy of living with the Trinity and Jesus. Then the joy of the ideal world and the world of love will continue.

You Must Love the Holy Trinity and Jesus With All Your Heart, Will, and Life

Even in the world, if love is broken, everything breaks, and it becomes a world of hatred. Likewise, if your love towards the Trinity and Jesus breaks, everything breaks. In this time period, you need to love the Trinity, Jesus, and your brothers and sisters with all your heart, will, and life.

Even if you’ve had faith for a long time, if you hold that faith without knowing properly, you cannot fulfill the Purpose of Creation that you need to fulfill. You need to know properly and take action. Then you can fulfill God’s Purpose of Creation.

God’s Will Is for Your Spirit to Do Well

If we pray, we might expect that things will work out well. But there are many times when our physical situations don’t work out well, and we go through troubles and difficulties. The earth can never become perfect like Heaven. On Earth, you live centering on the body. Therefore, there may be unfortunate situations that your physical body experiences. For example, despite being the Messiah, Jesus faced severe persecution, underwent extreme hardship, and was crucified. In the Bible, many people of God went through trials and tribulations as they led their lives of faith. However, God was always with them. And by being with them, God surely fulfilled His Will. 

Your body only lives for a period of time and then dies. The physical body cannot go to the eternal world. Therefore, it’s your spirit that needs to do well. Then you can inherit the eternal kingdom. That is why God helps your spirit as the key so that your spirit will turn out well.

As such, don’t be discouraged when your physical situation doesn’t turn out well. Your spirit will succeed and prosper. So always pray for your spirit to do well, and live loving the Trinity and Jesus.

You should make the Trinity and Jesus the object of your love. Then, no matter what happens, you can hold onto the Trinity and Jesus without being shaken, and you will not be separated in your heart; rather, you will live powerfully, united as one.

Therefore, just as you love the Trinity and Jesus, love and respect each other, encourage one another, and cheer each other on. Be united through the Word, the Trinity, and Jesus, and persevere through life.
