The One Who Loves the Praise from God
Hold onto the Word of God, don’t throw it away because you disagree with it. You have to align with the Word, not the other way around. I must speak God’s Words, not my own. If I keep living my walk of faith centered on myself, I will crumble, but the Word remains. God would rather use the one holding onto the Word rather than a theologian who only knows the Word.
But there is no Word that aligns with you. Why do I keep losing my walk of faith? I’m self-centered and want the Word of God to relate to me, so I will continually fail. God desires to give a specific Word to you, but if your thoughts do not change, you will continue to live according to your self-centeredness.
It’s not about what I like or not, but it’s about what is given to me. That’s healthy. You should see if you’re taking the Word into your field or not. Even if you’re holding onto the Word, are you following it? If not, you keep following your own words, spiritually diseased.
Hold onto and follow the Word, 24 hours. Your emotions may fluctuate, but just bring the Word and enjoy until you become a witness. If you want to be a witness, you have to hold onto it. But you keep holding onto something else, so you can’t be a witness.
In America, there are so many seminaries, theologians, and sermons, but people go to whatever matches them. Remnants, just hold onto what God has given you in faith and follow the Word no matter the circumstance. Then you will realize that God is truly with you.
If you’re still self-centered, your faith will not progress. If the remnants get rid of their self-centeredness, they will stand as witnesses. But you don’t believe, you follow your own knowledge, and since your ego is diseased, your walk of faith is difficult so you have no choice but to package yourself. Even your packaging has limitations because when you have a problem in the field, you go back to your self-centeredness. Hold firmly to the Word regardless of your situation.
Without the Word, you will try to comfort yourself with your knowledge. What’s better is holding onto the Word God gives you. God doesn’t give grace to the blind. It seems to be cheap on the outside, but within, there is a precious pearl, an incredible treasure. “This worship isn’t great, it’s not a renowned pastor or inspiring words.” But that’s what you’re looking for. They seem satisfying but it’s nothing.
If you live your walk of faith looking for a method, it’s fundamentally wrong. If a child has parents, the parents should fill all their child’s needs. A normal parent will take care if their kids. “I don’t want my parents, I want to live with my friend’s parents,” and you don’t appreciate your parents. But if you go to your friend’s parents, they’re not great either, so you keep wandering.
America is so advanced with methods, thinking you can find the Truth, but you can’t. It seems so modest on the outside, but God has hidden a tremendous treasure, so that is why you worship, “Please give me the Word that You desire to give me.” But you want to hear something else, so it means you’re diseased.
The doctor says to eat healthy but you live however you want? You’ll die. You must live and believe. Do not throw the Word of God away. God fulfills the Word given to you even now. Remnants, do not follow anything else. You may feel it’s right, but you can’t go along. Be aligned to God. Take the Word God has given through worship, then as you go through the week, you will realize why you need that Word. Otherwise, you won’t be a witness.
You’re holding onto the Word that matches you, and that’s how far your nature is from God. The Word is not based on your emotions. Just go and see how everything goes according to the Word. You will know how it takes place or not. What has God given you?
What differentiated King David from Saul was that David held to and believed the Word God gave him. God’s Word is the direction of your life, and the Word is the knowledge you need. You try to do something else because there’s something else in your brain.
They say, “I know,” but you must be a witness. Stand as a witness to see whether God’s Word from Sunday is fulfilled or not. It doesn’t matter if it’s helpful or not, but you go forward, holding onto God’s Word and moving onto something new.
You need to listen to your walk of faith well. You need to know the meaning of worship and why God said, “If you break the Sabbath, I will kill you.” He won’t even kill you if you don’t read your Bible, but if you lose hold of Sabbath worship, you’re dead. I hope you will hold onto the pulpit message.
You should not look at me. If I were a renowned professor, you may want to regard me a little, but that’s a mistake because you can’t see God, so that means you’re blind. In Isaiah 53, Jesus had no glamour or beauty, nothing that we should be drawn to Him. He was only in His 30s but He seemed old with no charisma. If Jesus was standing next to a priest, they wouldn’t acknowledge Jesus.
You’re dying as you fall into your own misconceptions. Find the Word worth staking your life on, but instead, you throw that away. You fall into the problem, thinking it’s a problem. These will run away, not staking their life on worship.
The members of the Early Church had to stake their lives but you don’t have a reason. The churches are crumbling into disasters. You go to church but suffer unnecessarily because you do not stake your life that God has given. You think it’s something you need or don’t need.
Spiritual problems persist until you stake your life, when you discover the true value of the gospel. If you change or alter the gospel, God will curse you. God is alive and working. Quickly analyze yourself that you have not experienced the value of the gospel.
You stake your life on the world and become captivated by the world. You keep lying to yourself, “God, don’t you see what I’ve done for you?” You don’t sense the urgency. When I first received the gospel, no matter what I wanted to do, I wanted to listen to the words of the missionary. I was so thirsty for grace that I came to the weekly prayer meetings. The missionaries gave their prayer topics and prayed and praised. Even though this was 25 years ago, we sang, “I have decided to follow Jesus.”
You have to plant correct and biblical things into the remnants. If you teach your methods, that’s what will get passed down, but you must stake your life on worship and teach the same. Look at Cain who kills his younger brother when he failed to worship. I didn’t know what worship was, I didn’t value the pastor or the elders for a long time. Nobody taught me the value of worship, I just learned how to curse well.
Hold onto the Word, it doesn’t matter, but God is with you through the Word, then you can show how God is with us. In my training, for 10 years, every day, 24 hours a day, I went into the evangelism field. I have received more training and experience than you. I’m telling you, it’s true that training is good, but I didn’t understand the value of the church members, so I held onto the Word without worship. But you need to confirm this as your answer.
Only hold onto the Word that God gives you. God gives you the Word you need to nourish your soul. Even Jesus was the same, He only spoke what God told Him to speak, because He and the Father are one, and I am one with Christ. What does it mean to follow the Word? It is the same as having the Word fulfilled and you proclaim that.
Going to a Buddhist monastery will help you reach enlightenment, but God came to save you, to give you life, but you’re trying to improve yourself and you fight over your standards of ethics and morals? Escape from religious life. Enjoy life. Write down the Word of God and take it with you. Don’t listen to others, but in the morning and evening, meditate on the Word that God gave. He is the best and you trust Him.
Do you understand and agree, or are you offended? If you’re offended, you have pride, and it will hurt until the pride disappears. I speak strongly because it’s what I experienced. I beg of you to understand and believe, it is what the Lord values, not just the things you see with your eyes. Try it, believe and go.
God has given us a promise, it might not align with you, but it is Truth. Hold onto it in faith and go, that He has finished all problems. “The reason why you are sent to this earth is to save. I have all authority in heaven and on earth, and I am with you,” and God works on those who follow this.
They held onto these words in faith, so even if it’s disadvantageous or your will fail, it’s okay. You lose hold of God’s Word because you can’t trust God, so you drown in your own thoughts. Without being able to restore this, you can listen to many words, however, doing all that training is like being in a flood without water to drink.
The Word becomes the core of my life, and you must learn this from the beginning. If you learn to package yourself, you’re deceived. Believing in God and going with the Word is the method, and the Word is life, but you lose hold of that as you try to do your own thing. Hold onto your personal Word in faith. Because you listen to so many words, you become confused; the water of life is right here.
Without this, your family problems will not end, but you will suffer with your spiritual problems. Recently, someone was shot by their relative on 8th Street and Catalina in broad daylight. The forces of darkness are realistically working right now. This is not a threat, but it is the Word of God. Don’t confirm based on your family and your experiences, but see the field.
When you evangelize, even if they don’t accept, the forces of darkness are broken. Don’t talk about frivolous things. Confirm that the Word of God is Truth. Do you know where your thoughts come from? Do they come from yourself? There’s no thought you created for yourself. Babies don’t have thoughts, but their observations get imprinted in them, so they begin to have thoughts. So, your thoughts come from the world if they’re not from God, but we think our thoughts are Truth, and we don’t believe in God’s Word at all, so we can’t stop people from committing suicide.
Look at the kids, they hang onto their childhood toys for years, like security blankets. Do that with the Word God gave you, trust in it, and go forward with it. The words may be repetitive today, but think deeply on it. I lived like this. Your walk of faith takes place but you can’t tell. It’s not fancy on the outside, but God cares about your faith. God will give you the Word for your life, so as you listen, don’t misunderstand. Even I listen to these words, but you need to think of these Sunday message words as life.
That’s why you must take notes. Those who do not take notes are so arrogant. Look at your notes and pray, then evangelism will take place throughout the region.
The One Who Loves the Praise from God. No need to calculate, just follow.
Prayer
God, please work upon the remnants so they follow the Word. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray, amen.
