God of Elijah

1 Kings 18:39-40

When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!” Then Elijah commanded them, “Seize the prophets of Baal. Don’t let anyone get away!” They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.

Develop Yourself Into the Image of Heaven

God and the Holy Spirit treat a person who has developed themselves in a very different way than a person who has not developed themselves. God will help, give power, and work upon the one who has developed themselves to be used by God. Elijah was someone who had developed himself so that God could work upon him in mighty ways to proclaim a lengthy drought and to finally bring the rain after an intense battle on Mount Carmel.

Before developing yourself, you are like a raw material or a rough stone. Therefore, you naturally perceive that you have no hope even when you look at yourself. However, there is hope the moment you start developing yourself. At first, it may be difficult, painful, and require a lot of effort. But the more you develop yourself, the less work that you will have to do, and the work you do will require a high level of skill. 

The one who has developed themselves will be used valuably by God. Those who have been developed will continue to develop their skills even further and gain momentum. From there, they can develop themselves even faster and better. Then they can shine even more. 

You must get rid of self-centered thoughts and actions. Only then will you be able to develop yourself into the image of Heaven according to the thoughts of God and Jesus and live in an ideal way in the world. Those who have developed themselves will have a high heavenly value in the eyes of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and their time will be used valuably down to each minute and second.

Listen to the Word and Take Action Upon the Word 

The material required for developing your life is God’s absolute Word of the time period. Do not just listen to the Word and be consoled by it. You must also take action on the Word and continue to develop yourself. When you take action in this way and develop yourself, there will be no need to be consoled from that point on because you can do it yourself. 

Those who have developed themselves will see that there are many things to do and thus will keep themselves busy. If you have not developed yourself, you cannot see the work you need to do. 

Destroy Evil Through Repentance

Ultimately when the time comes, God destroys evil and makes the history of grace happen. In every time period, there is a battle between good and evil like the time of Elijah. God surely destroys evil and accepts the offerings of the good who worship and believe in God. Everyone should read the Bible and deeply realize what this time period is like and the things that are happening within God’s history. Instead of interpreting as you please, you must truly realize. Only then will you destroy evil through repentance. Only then will the history of grace start.

Pray Like Elijah about the Suffering of This Time Period

The Almighty God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus are with you, so live being steadfast. God hears your desperate prayer from the depths of your heart. The Holy Spirit and Jesus absolutely hear that prayer and will absolutely take action like They had done at Elijah’s time.

Just as Elijah did, we must tell God and explain to Him about every single thing we are suffering in this time period and the outrage that boils over in our hearts. Only then will the absolute God not remain inactive but hear all those prayers and absolutely take action for us.

Like Elijah did, with desperate hearts you must bring your heart boiling with suffering to God and pray prayers that make the fire burn within. God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus do not give the Word to a person They have forsaken. God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus will never forsake us.

If you don’t sit in the correct posture, your body weight will press down and cause you suffering. In the same way, if you don’t do the right things, you cause yourself to be miserable and bring suffering on yourself. You are the one who gives yourself joy, hope, pain, and suffering. God treats you as good or evil according to your deeds.

An empty brain thinks about God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus only when They speak. But a full brain calls on, speaks with, and loves God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus at all times. When Satan sees an empty brain, it goes into that brain and lives there just as homeless people go into an empty house and live in it. Nothing can enter a brain that is full with the hearts and thoughts of God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus. You should fill your brain with the Word and shut the door to your heart like you would fill a jar with ingredients and tighten the lid.
