The Difference of One Level

There is a big difference between the best merchandise and the next best thing. The difference of one level is the difference between a gold medal and silver medal. With currency, a monetary unit one level higher is two or five times different from the lower unit. From a $1 bill, the next unit is $5. Higher units are $10, $20, and $100. For the room temperature in the winter, too, the difference between one setting up on the thermostat and one setting down is very big. Even lowering it by one level, you feel really cold. Regarding faith also, there is a huge difference between the position of one level higher and one level lower. Success and failure are determined by a difference of one level. 

It is difficult to raise your faith one level higher. However, if you raise your level, you will gain that much more. You must realize how significant this is. If you have been at one level higher but then go back down a level, the difference is so big that you might say, “I really can’t do this.” That is why you must surely raise your level.

Those who live in the Old Testament do not know how huge the difference is between the Old Testament and the New Testament that is one level higher. It is like the difference between the earth and Heaven. Apostle Paul, who had been a Jew, came into the New Testament, and when he realized the difference, he took action within the circumstances he was in, raising his level up as far as to Heaven in all things physical and spiritual. Apostle Paul knew that difference.

Whether it is Creation or humans, for all those that live through the times, the difference between living at a level higher and living at a level lower, which is the level of the past, is as immense as the difference between Heaven and Earth. This is true in terms of gaining things, the value, and all aspects of life.

No matter what it takes, you must raise your faith one level higher. Also, you must raise your level in daily life as well as the level of your health for your own sake. If you do not raise your level at this time, you will be unable to do it because the time passes. During times of tribulation and suffering, while being shocked and motivated, you should lead a life of faith while raising your level.

The Power of Raising the Level

Regarding the life you are living, unless you raise the level, you will suffer. With all things and with the body, soul, and spirit, too, it will be completely different even if you raise the level to just one level higher. If you work at one level higher, you will experience a difference like that between gold and silver. If you raise the level, you can even reach the world of the spirit. If you raise the level, even the things that do not work, even what is impossible, will work. If you raise the level, a good change will instantly occur. Since you raise the level, you gain a lot of things. You will gain as if you have come to a new world, a new continent. It is to do all things, raising just one level higher, in your areas.

Regarding faith also, you should raise the level in each field, such as thanksgiving, loving God, receiving inspiration from the Holy Spirit, and others. You must raise the level of your heart, mind, and thoughts as well. Even though God gives you higher-level Word, unless you raise the level of your heart, mind, and thoughts, you will hear that Word only up to your level and realize only to that extent. It is to raise both your spiritual level and physical level. You must raise the level with righteousness. With unrighteousness, the higher you raise the level, the worse it becomes. It will be shipwrecked.

If you only pray and then stop, your wishes won’t come true. You must raise your level for that wish of yours to come true. When Satan, wicked people, and those who oppose you are chasing you, you will be caught by them unless you are faster than they are. In this situation, raising your level is the solution. 

In a nature documentary, you can see that the animal that raised its level captured the prey it wanted. The prey simply ran to flee but did not raise its level and thoughts. So, it was captured. In this way, destiny is determined by whether you raise your level or not. 

For leaders, too, if they study and raise their level one level higher, the whole group can run comfortably. Just by using a different method, they will rise one level higher, so miracles will happen. Leaders are carrying out tremendous duties of leading scores, hundreds, or thousands of people. 

You must raise your level by praying throughout the night or by studying. When a leader raises their level, since the leader is running at a higher level, the level of everyone else is raised. 

How to Raise Your Level

You must do your best. Then, you can raise the level. If you consistently raise the level repeatedly, you will not let the blessings you have received and the higher level you have reached be taken away from you. You must complete the necessary work as the top priority. Then, you can raise the level.

Also, to raise your level, you should support and guide one another among your brothers and sisters. If you do, you can easily raise your level. Also, you may raise your level by yourself, but if you do it while receiving coaching from God and the Holy Spirit, your level will go up easily.

To raise your level in something, you should analyze the entire situation that pertains to the subject at hand. You must analyze it perfectly and build up your competence by learning the things you lack in. 

Leaders should analyze things and teach the areas the followers lack in. Through that, they should help them build their skills so that each person will do things on their own. A leader must advance before the followers. Only then will people follow.

Entrepreneurs, too, should operate their businesses well just like driving cars by changing their methods and acquiring masterful skills. They must master operational capability. All executives must be equipped with operational capability. Whether it is operating a church or something else, they all require operational capability. After you examine and figure out everything meticulously, you should correct the problems and do the necessary work.

If you look at professional players or national athletes, they practice and put in tremendous effort in order to raise their level. They practice for seven to eight hours per day. You, too, should do it like that.

Raise Your Level From This Moment

Now is a time when it is difficult to live well unless you raise your level. Just as winter requires thicker clothing than autumn, God carries out His Will by raising the level. Therefore, everyone must raise the level of their mind and heart. Only by rising one level higher can we fulfill God’s Will, and when we do, God also grants what we desire.

This applies to everything. Food becomes much more delicious when cooked at a higher level. Even a restaurant facing closure can overcome the crisis and succeed by raising its level.

The same principle applies to God’s history. When history rose from the Old Testament servant level to the New Testament child level, the Word of the Old Testament was fulfilled and a new Word was revealed. Likewise, when a person raises their level of faith, their faith is not shaken, just as a house built on higher ground is not flooded.

Life progresses by levels. A candle becomes an oil lamp, an oil lamp becomes a kerosene lamp, and a kerosene lamp becomes an electric light. In the same way, we must raise the level of our lives step by step. God has given us high-level Word, and the Holy Spirit continually inspires us, so we must live and work at a higher level according to our individual calling. Without raising the level, God’s Will cannot be fulfilled.

When a level is raised, an entirely new world opens. When a star rises one level, it becomes like the moon. When the moon rises one level, it becomes like the sun. Beyond the physical world is the spiritual world. This principle applies to faith, economy, and every area of life.

When you devote your whole heart, will, and life with complete focus, your level is raised, and what you do is completed quickly and properly.

You should raise your level from this moment onward while the opportunity is given to you. You will not be able to raise your level once the time passes. Then you will never know when you will be able to raise your level. So you should raise the level of everything, combining all things of the physical world and the spiritual world, including the things in your daily life. You should raise the level of everything.
