Healing All Nations

We have to develop the ability to overcome and rule over ourselves. We must overcome more than just the world and the devil; we must overcome ourselves.

God told Noah to build an ark and only allowed the few people who obeyed his word to board it. Why was God forced to kill all those descendants of Adam who disobeyed him? Why couldn't he just take the few obedient people to live somewhere else? God had to kill all the disobedient because he was worried that Noah's family would see Adam's descendants and be corrupted by their evil influence.

God will be with and bless those who are beautiful in heart. How can God be with and bless those who are loathsome in his sight?

The truth is a narrow path. This is why we must organize and arrange the truth in an orderly and systematic way.

We should examine ourselves before we blame Adam and think we are better than him.

People who have really understood God will no longer have any greed.

No one should think of the Bible or God's word as a joke. Only people corrupted by Satan can think that way. Since Jesus, the prophets, and the apostles all shed their blood for us, no one should consider God's work some sort of simple game.

God has been working for the past 6,000 years for today. People who are not spiritually alert or who are still bound to their past will not be able to attain salvation.

Jesus told people at the time of the first coming, "You are deceived because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God." Even if we have come to Shinchonji, if we do not know what Jesus meant, we are no different from the people at the time of the first coming. That is why I have been telling you that you must know and understand the Bible.

We must listen to the word with all our hearts. We should listen as if the word is our life.

How can you claim to love and believe in God, whom you cannot see, while you do not love and trust the people around you? Does that make sense? God is logic and truth. We must love one another and work closely with one another. We must be honest and not lie. Instead of harming others by lying, we must speak the truth in love.

We should ask ourselves what percentage of us is of God and what percentage is of the world. We must be transformed into God's people.

If we have truly understood the love God has shown us and the blood Jesus shed for our sins, there is nothing we cannot do. If we understand that this work is what saves our bodies today, there is nothing we cannot do. If we offer our bodies to God, there is nothing we cannot do.

Today is the time for God's promises and everything in the Bible to be fulfilled. People who don't realize where they are even after coming to the twelve tribes of God's kingdom still belong to the world. People who belong to the world cannot have their names written in the book of life.

Our objective is to fulfill God's will.

If you have truly understood that nothing is more precious than your life, you must strive to perceive well and master this word. You should make every effort without being told to do so.

If we were living as we did in the past, we might think that we still have more time or that there are still promises left for us. But now is the time for the promises of the new covenant to be fulfilled. We no longer have anywhere else to go. Everything is coming to an end. This is why we must clearly understand the present time and the covenant that is being fulfilled today.

Regardless of age, the word applies to everyone.

Which is more valuable: the treasure map or the treasure? Treasure maps are for finding treasure. The passages in the Bible about the tree of life are like a treasure map. The treasures to which they lead are the people who appear in fulfillment of the Bible—the people of Shinchonji.

At the time of Moses, people had to listen to Moses. At the time of Isaiah, people had to listen to Isaiah. At the time of Jesus, people had to listen to Jesus. In the same way today, people must listen to the one who speaks on behalf of God and Jesus. Everyone should make every effort to hear, believe in, and obey his teachings.

God's only wish for us is a complete life of faith. No amount of gold or jewels can compare to the value of the work of God. Let us have faith and become people of value to God.

We can keep the new covenant by inscribing the word clearly in our hearts (Heb 8:10-12). It is only when we keep the new covenant that we receive salvation. Those who believe and obey the words of the New Testament are blessed (Rv 1:3). Those who retain the word and persevere are good soil (Lk 8:15). If you truly regard the word as the seed of life and light, you cannot neglect it.

We must teach what is absolutely certain.

Blessed are those who are persecuted. Those who persecute, however, will be thrown into hell. Still, persecutors must exist to fulfill the scriptures. We believe in the Bible because its prophecies are fulfilled.

Although the Bible promises we will receive a hundred times what we have to give up (Mt 19:29), it will be enough when we receive eternal life. When the whole world belongs to God, we will gain the whole world as our inheritance. That is no small reward.

People might say that pearls or treasures are valuable, but nothing is more valuable than life. True life is a gift from God. True life is the life that allows us to live forever.

Those who refuse to believe the truth when they hear it should give up going to heaven. They don't believe, nor do they make any effort to believe. People who lived in the time of Moses must have wanted to die. They failed to enter the Promised Land when it was right before their eyes because they refused to believe in the teachings of Moses. Today, we have received the best teachings in the world—the best teachings that have ever existed over the last 6,000 years of biblical history. How can people who are not inspired by that have any hope to enter heaven?

Soldiers should act like soldiers. If you don't know the word, you should study it even if it means losing sleep.

If we truly know and believe today, there is no need for us to look back to the world. The Israelites suffered so much to enter the land of Canaan, but we are trying to enter God's kingdom of heaven. God is holy. If we are to live with the holy God, we must become worthy. If God is the tree of life, shouldn't we also become trees of life if we want to unite with him?

Not believing in God's promises is the same as not believing in God.

Where else should we go? We need to retrieve what used to belong to us. The twelve tribes must know this clearly and not look back.

To those who pretend to know the truth, do you really know God? Do you truly understand God's situation? Have you ever been betrayed like God was? Have you ever lost something as big as what God lost? Have you been patient as long as God has?

Considering the words of Jesus as light is the same as considering the words of God as light. God carries out his work through the one who speaks on his behalf.

To become a person who is needed by the whole world, we must have the word.

Religion is eternal life. If there is no eternal life, there is no value in religion. Those who merely follow without a clear purpose for their life of faith are following in vain. We cannot gain eternal life if we stay as we are now. We must be born again of God's seed and we must be transformed into God's image. Every one of us must receive the word and become mature as the seed of the word grows within us.

The clothes of our hearts cannot be cleansed with physical water. They can only be cleansed by the word of life.

Jesus said, "Whatever you do for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Similarly, whatever we do for the least among us who are in need, we do for God. If we put this command into action, our faith and love will be revived.

We can do everything through him who gives us strength. Before he gives us strength, however, God weighs us just like Job. He wants to see whether or not we will betray him.

If you are born of the seed of God, you must be like God. Should you be like the devil, if you are born of God? Let us become believers who live their lives of faith with assurance.

Evangelism is giving life to people who are dying and leading lost people to eternal life. It is a good deed. Let us do this good deed with all our hearts.

When we become the kind of people God acknowledges, will he leave us to starve to death?

Whenever we build something or make anything, we must keep it neat and clean at all times. It should be kept bright and shiny. Whoever is faithful in small matters will also be faithful in greater matters. We shouldn't look at things as if they are another person's property; we should treat them as if they are our own.

Shinchonji is a place of absolutes. We are here to build the city of truth that God desires. Do lukewarm people make it to heaven? Absolutely not! It is so important to be born again with water and spirit. If you want to go to heaven rather than hell, you must be qualified to become a person of heaven.

If we keep God's covenant and overcome, won't God give all things to his children? If, in spite of God's promises, you are focused on petty matters like how you will live, aren't you just looking back at the world? If you do such things, you are looking back at the world.

If you believed in this work 100%, it would already have been fulfilled. You think in your heart, "I will evangelize when I have time. I am good because I have evangelized one person." We must evangelize 100 or even 1,000 people. We must run until the work is completed.

I pray continually before God, day and night. First, I pray that God will protect the family of Shinchonji. Then, I pray that we will all return glory to God and attain victory wherever we go. Finally, I pray that God will help us complete the twelve tribes of Shinchonji.

The kingdom of heaven is where God, Jesus, and the angels are. If we are going there to live with them, we must control our speech and our actions. We must speak the word with goodness, beauty, and grace. We must speak only the truth.

We are a precious creation made according to the Bible. When we become lights that shine in the world, the people of the world will be enlightened. They will understand and be saved. I am confident about this.

We, as the family of the twelve tribes, should take pride in who we are. We should be able to testify about the truth. People who are like beasts and have nothing to do with God claim to be orthodox and to have already attained salvation. There is no reason for us not to testify about what we know.

Who can be considered a true believer? God is pleased with those who know that God has made promises and those who believe in the fulfillment of those promises.

Someday you may look back with regret and ask yourself, "Why didn't I work harder for God's kingdom?" Think about that day and run as fast as you can from now on.

We are living in an incredible time today—the time of Shinchonji. God is re-creating us and helping us to be born again according to his will. We must live out lives of faith that are appropriate for the generation in which we are living.

I wrote God a letter saying, "I want to be with you as a spirit." Then, when my conscience objected, I wrote another letter that said, "I will work for God's kingdom even to the last drop of my blood." You too must have had a hard time living in this corrupt and confused world, but our priority is God's work. God has been working for the past 6,000 years. We should be able to work for this short period of time.

Love one another.

Fight the world, the devil, and yourself—fight and overcome.

Our appointed tasks and being obedient to God give life to our spirits.

Make every effort to teach yourself.

Let us find favor in God by become the word made flesh. Let us also be commended by God as we help the world attain salvation. Let us also accomplish our objectives by fulfilling each of our appointed tasks.

A life of faith is utterly worthless without heaven and eternal life. Without heaven and eternal life, people fall into the ideologies of the world and struggle with their own desires.

People without the knowledge of grace are like beasts. Let us not become beast-like people who are ignorant of the grace God has given us.

Many people say that our inner demons are more powerful than any external enemy. What is the greatest of these inner demons? Ignorance.

The world always tries to kill people sent by God. Today, Christians are doing their best to kill Shinchonji. They know their time is near, so they work that much harder. You must be determined. You must work with a heart for completing the work of God, even at the risk of your own life.

First, you must evangelize to yourself.

We must avoid every kind of evil (1 Thes 5:22). We must not even look at any kind of evil.

Please do not try to exalt yourself like Satan.

Since God is love, we must also become love. Since God is the word, we must also become the word.

We don't have time to look back at the world. We must complete the 144,000 by sealing people with the word of revelation as soon as possible. If you are lazy and take a "wait-and-see" approach, how will God respond?

God's promises are being fulfilled today, but if we fail to carry out the work of sealing ourselves and others with the word, if we are filled with secular desire and look back at the world, will God's promises be completely accomplished?

Tools do not boast themselves (Is 10:15).

We get so upset when we lose the smallest of our possessions. God lost heaven, earth, and his people. He lost them all to the devil. This was why God had to leave us. How could he rest? He lost such tremendously important things. He lost them all. How much must he be yearning to get them back?

When we pray to God, we must offer prayers that are acceptable to God. When we work, we must work and testify God's word in a way that makes God think, "I can't just sit still. I must go help him."

People suffer damage because of their immense greed (Jas 1:15).

God has experienced all kinds of people over the last 6,000 years of biblical history. We must be determined to resolve God's sorrow no matter how excruciating the effort required.

We must make every effort to humble ourselves so that we can enter our hope.

We become hostile to God if we do not keep his laws.

Will there be glory without suffering? Can we enter our hope without suffering (Lk 22:28, Rom 8:17-18)?

We must commit ourselves to serving God by building his kingdom here on earth. We must be determined to establish the kingdom of righteousness and to serve God by fulfilling the 6,000 years of heaven's work. We must be determined to relieve the deep sorrow God has suffered for the past 6,000 years.

No matter what it might be, we must carry out every task that is given to us, one by one.

Anyone can evangelize if they make up their mind to do it.

We, as believers, must know the Bible and use it to discern.

Heaven is the source of true religion.

Once you are determined to work, if you just look around, you will find so many things to do.

We must resolve to complete the work of heaven.

Judgment is eternal punishment. It is more than death or just ceasing to exist.

God wants us to be born again. Nothing changes unless we are born again. The reason he asks us to be born again is because we were not born of God's seed.

God is the one who created this whole vast universe and all of nature.

We must be brave. God's people should not be like tiny little minnows.

We must keep the fire of evangelism burning until the completion of our purpose.

God has been working to redeem us, although we are sinners. As we think about what God has done for us, we must put the love of heaven into practice.

Being shy and pretending to be holy is not the mentality of God. We must have a heart and mind that are willing to die for the Lord.

The twelve tribes are a creation of God.

Knowledge is given so we can believe it. What good is knowledge if you don't believe it?

Today, we are standing at a crossroads—will God's kingdom be established here on earth or not?

If you have truly understood your faults, you will repent and correct them.

What does God want from us? He wants us to offer our hearts to him. God can come to and dwell in our hearts when we offer our hearts to him.

Enduring the winds is the path to growth and maturity. We must learn this lesson from God's creation.

We must have God's word organized systematically in our hearts. If you have the word well-organized in your heart, you will speak in an orderly and well-organized way. If the word is not organized, you will speak in a chaotic way.

Let's say you are working on a project that isn't going well. Even if you stop and work on something else instead, you shouldn't feel discouraged or frustrated. It doesn't really matter what task you are doing. Being faithful in the tasks given to you is the best way to complete your tasks.

We must realize progress in everything we do. We should not continue with any work that does not progress. We must do our best and continue to analyze what we are doing carefully.

God and Jesus came down from heaven to this lowly earth. They humbled themselves to give us life. God's people must be transformed and do as God and Jesus showed us.

We at Shinchonji do not need people who are not really believers. We must become true believers.

We were enslaved by wickedness because of our sins. God gave up his one and only son so that we can become his kingdom and priests (Rv 5:9-10). Even if we work to the point where our bodies are crushed and immobile, we can never repay the grace we have received.

Forgiveness, love, and blessings come from God.

Doesn't the Bible say that jars must be poured out and emptied (Jer 48:11-12)? Only when what was once stored in us is completely poured out can new things be poured in. We must not judge Shinchonji with our own standards and our own thoughts.

To be qualified to go to heaven, you must be born again of water and the holy spirit (Jn 3:5-6, 1 Pt 1:23). No one who lacks the water and the spirit can enter heaven. This is why we must all be sealed by and born again of the water and the holy spirit.

If we are born of the word, we must become the physical fulfillment of the word. In doing so, we can also become the branches, fruit, and leaves of the tree of life. People who are not born of the word speak nonsense. It is not really worth talking with these people.

Jesus said he would come quickly, but 2,000 years have past since that time. Paul also spoke as if things would be accomplished very quickly, but it has been such a long time. This generation is different. Now is the time when things will be finished quickly.

Our citizenship is in heaven (Phil 3:20). How is it, then, that you have set your hopes on and are bound by the world? Why can't you get yourself out of the world? Let's not be foolish.

If we want to carry out epoch-making work, we must work and pray that God will give us wisdom (Jas 1:5-8). If we take heart and make an effort, we will be able to do anything.

People are deceived for two reasons: they indulge their own thoughts and they do not know the Bible.

Truth will certainly overcome. Please take heart!

No one should return to the flesh. We must prevent ourselves from returning to the flesh (Gal 3:3, Heb 3:12-14).

We are in the midst of a war. In times of war, soldiers are needed most.

We become useful workers only when we make an adequate effort. If this is the case, shouldn't we make every effort to become useful?

Sheep-like believers are obedient believers (Heb 3:18-19).

Complete faith comes from complete knowledge.

There is an old Korean story about a secret royal inspector who pretends to be a beggar. Jesus was a secret inspector sent by the king from heaven (Jn 3:13, Jn 5:43).

Our hearts should be joyful when we do God's work. It is a greater feeling than any other in the world.

People who keep still after receiving this word must be dead.

Religion is not limited by borders. It includes all nations.

We must always remember that we are standing at the crossroads between life and death (Dt 30:19-20).

If you have selfish desires and interests, cast them aside completely. We must be created in God's image.

We must work and evangelize while there is still time left for us to do so.

I plead with you! Let's open our hearts and think straight. Let's humble ourselves and strive to do God's work!

We must not pursue material things, authority, or high positions. We must not covet.

If you know our appointed task and our hope, you cannot sit still for a single moment (Heb 3).

If you deny the book of Revelation, who do you think you are? We must reflect on this and realize who we are through the Bible.

If heaven truly exists and if you truly have faith, you should be faithful in accomplishing your own appointed tasks instead of talking too much.

Instead of caring about authority, we should just work with the thought that there will be nothing left to wish for if we can only attain heaven.

The core of religion is driving wicked spirits from our hearts and welcoming and serving the spirit of heaven instead.

The more people come, the more order becomes necessary. God needs people of order and truth. He does not need disorderly people. We must have the truth and become his holy kings.

The word within you will teach you and tell you what to do.

If we pray according to God’s word, we will become workers who can change the flow of history.

Faith grows through prayer.

Just believing once is not enough. We should continue to pray to maintain our faith.

The best blessing is not something of the world. It is God's acknowledgement that we are true believers. We can receive this blessing because we believe in the open word of Revelation and in its fulfillment that has been revealed. Remember that what belongs to God also belongs to God's children. Let us not be foolish by throwing away great things for something small and petty.

Paul said in Romans 8, "If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ." He also said in 1 Corinthians 5, "Even through I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit." Please understand that the spirit of the one who led you is with you. There is no reason for you to feel alone or that you are carrying out your life of faith alone. You do not have to feel alone; you can walk on the perfect path in all things. Do not ever forget this.

If you see God's work but treat it as though it is someone else's job, you are not a believer. People think going to church is what makes them a believer, but we know that true believers are the people who do God's work with a heart like God's heart. If you see some messy papers, organize them. This is the kind of mindset we must have because this is the kind of mindset of a true believer.

Prayer is the best armor for our lives of faith. Just being able to pray is grace and power.

Since people of prayer can understand God’s will clearly, they do not wander around aimlessly. They live life like a straight line.

We are running a race of faith. What are we running for? We must run a race of faith acknowledged by God. If we are running according to our own deeds or our own decisions, it is not true faith. We must always remember that we must run the race according to the word of God.

We must teach so people can understand correctly. We must point out clearly what belongs to the time of Moses, what belongs to time of Jesus’ first coming, and what belongs to the time of Jesus’ second coming.

How grateful we must be! If the twelve disciples of Jesus were here today in the flesh, just think how hard they would be working to share the word of the testimony. Your body is not your own; it belongs to them. We must believe that we are their body. Considering this, shouldn’t we do our best to do everything correctly? If we continue to just pretend, will heaven accept us? No, it will not.

Please keep this in mind: God is the word, God’s son is the word, and we too must become the physical fulfillment of the word if we have been born of God’s seed. You must make this true of you.

Believing only with your head cannot help you overcome.

Our prayers may be imperfect, but the power of prayer does not depend on the person who is praying. The power of prayer comes from the one who is listening. That is how our prayers can be powerful.
