Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Hebrews 10:22
let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
Perception Is About Your Mindset, Thoughts, and Heart
When a person has the wrong perceptions, he will keep living with those wrong perceptions until he perceives correctly. Things will not work out if you take action while perceiving incorrectly. People treat others according to their perceptions, and they take action acknowledging things according to their perceptions. Due to wrong perceptions, people may misunderstand dozens of incidents that happened and also perceive people according to their perceptions. They also perceive God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son Jesus according to their thinking. The Jews even disbelieved and had wrong perceptions when Jesus came, causing them to take murderous actions.
Unless people are taught and their perceptions are corrected, they will not believe it even if they hear. Using the Bible, the past must be well explained for people to correctly perceive the present. Perception is also called understanding. If you fail to understand, you will immediately have a wrong perception. Where does incorrect perception come from? It happens because people set their perceptions by looking at only the present reality. It happens because they are ignorant and do not check. Wrong perception will lead to misunderstanding. If you fail to correct the wrong perceptions, problems will keep happening and you will suffer losses. Your incorrect perceptions will change only if you do according to God’s Will. Always take action with the correct mentality, heart, and thoughts of God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus.
The Use of a Witness
The reason a witness is sent before the Lord is to set the people’s perceptions correctly. If the witness fails to correct the people’s perceptions, then no one will know. John the Baptist testified for Jesus without knowing Jesus correctly or having the correct perception of Him. John the Baptist was in the position of having Elijah’s heart and mission. Even though Jesus said, “John the Baptist is Elijah,” John denied it (Matthew 11:13-14). When people are caught up in their own thinking and foolish thoughts, their perception is not correct, and they will not understand even if the Almighty God or Jesus speak to them. You must be sure to pray, ask a person who knows and perceives correctly, correct your own perceptions, and then take action.
You Must Throw Out 100% of Your Own Perceptions
Once you throw away your own perceptions, you will find the right perceptions and perceive correctly. If you want to live a blessed life, you must live your life learning about perception. Perception is the academics of having a big heart and thoughts. God controls us according to His Will with good perceptions. When the right time comes, God inspires us to have the right perception.
People perceive Jesus to come back in the body at the second coming and keep waiting intensely looking at the clouds. They are people with wrong and ignorant perceptions. With wrong perceptions, people force their own thinking of interpretations of the Bible.
Just like the people of the past had wrong perceptions waiting 2000 years for Jesus’ body to come riding on the clouds, there are people today who have wrong perceptions. Only when one learns according to the Bible that is preached today will people’s wrong perceptions change. Resurrection of faith happens when people who did not believe in the Messiah or God believe. Both their bodies will be renewed and their spirits will be resurrected. It happens because they receive salvation. It is called resurrection because both their bodies and spirits came into the domain of life.
All Misunderstandings Come from Wrong Perceptions
When you look at the Bible, because of wrong perceptions, the righteous people, who were the Abels, were tormented and pained by the wicked and unrighteous people, who were the Cains. The Cains will go through suffering of eternal death. Those who go to Hell are people who perceive God and Jesus incorrectly. There are many things that ultimately brought harm to each other within the church because people didn’t consult with God or with the one God sent. You must figure things out correctly. You are repaid according to what you think and what you do.
People Will Gain as Much as They Realize
If only you know the Will of God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus and take action on it or know the Gospel, only you will gain from it. If many people take action on it, many will gain. God treats you in the same way you treat Him after realizing just how precious God is. You come to know God through the Word and through the one sent in the time period. We need to value God and realize just how precious it is to be loved by Him. Realize and know how great the powers of God are. God breathes with you and that is how precious He is. Always do things with Him. You must always seek and love first. Only then will you receive the things that God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son Jesus do for you and help you. The counterpart is always first.
You will prosper when you take action following God’s Word. Because of love towards God, God will forgive people even if they have done wrong. God takes action while loving because He must fulfill love. God’s blessing to you is letting you know. The Holy Spirit can guide you by giving inspiration.
God Feels Discomfort When You Sin
When you sin, God feels the discomfort as if filth is on His own body. God cannot stand it if the sinner does not repent and will be judged. It is because the filth on His body and His discomfort will be washed away and removed only if He judges. If you have sin, the devil, Satan, and ghosts bring accusations against you. People who are blind to sin commit sin being unable to discern sin. Sin is like a contagious disease. A few examples of sin include failing to interpret the Bible correctly, doing things without believing in God, not knowing God’s Will, not knowing the person sent who saves, worshiping other gods than Jehovah God, and drinking (Ephesians 5:18 and 5:5).
If you repent, you are considered a righteous person. We must become people who have nothing to do with sin. We must not be slaves to filth by not even being aware after we sin. Only when you are clean will you realize clean places and clean people. By being clean you can become closer to God. You can walk with the Holy Spirit and the Lord. Through repentance, it is like purifying dirty water.
