1. A Successful Life

2. Those Who Fight Alongside Me Will Win.

Scripture:
Revelation 17:14 “They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”
Revelation 2:26 “To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations.”
Revelation 3:21 “To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.”

Hallelujah!
Today, I will deliver a special message on the themes:
First, “A Successful Life,”
Second, “Those Who Fight Alongside Me Will Win.”

◎ God works through circumstances. For example, through people, God brings circumstances together in such a way that leaders who are like kings of a people, a nation, or the world cannot bear to not act and therefore have no choice but to act.
◯ Even the ruler of a nation cannot govern that nation unless they do what must be done with the people of that nation. Likewise, a person of mission responsible for a certain work cannot accomplish it unless they do what must be done with those carrying it out. In this way, if those responsible for all the affairs of the world do not do what they must, the earthly world absolutely cannot operate. Therefore, God works so that people cannot neglect what they must do and have no choice but to do it.

◯ If each person does not do what they must do, they cannot live their life, and even Almighty God cannot fulfill His will through them. Therefore, God makes it so that people cannot help but do what must be done. God carries out everything according to His history while working in such a way that people ultimately have to do things according to God’s Will because what they are doing will fail if they do not work according to God’s Will.

It is the same for individuals, nations, and the world. Since each cannot exist if they do not always do what they must do, God brings circumstances together so that people have no choice but to act.

◯ If you take action, you triumph even over death and evil, but if you do not take action, you cannot triumph even over trivial things. Even financially, you cannot gain anything without taking action. Therefore, God helps us take action in everything, from the smallest things to the greatest.

Even Moses said he could not do it, but because it was God’s will for Moses to do it, God turned the circumstances for Moses so that he had no choice but to do it.
▶ Reference Scripture: Exodus 3–4

◯ If you take action, things go well. If you do not take action, you only suffer more, and things turn out worse. If things do not work out, everything comes to ruin.

Even if you live for only a single day, what must be done will be accomplished only if you do it; if you do not, it will not be accomplished. It is better to suffer while doing it than to suffer because you did not do it.

In particular, the suffering of the righteous becomes eternal hope for the future. Therefore, those who know the Word must put it into practice, because if people do not take action, God’s will for the world will not be fulfilled.

◯ God has us put the Word into practice for the salvation of the spirit, but He also tells us to take action for the sake of our physical lives. Whatever it may be, it is accomplished only if you do it. This is the method by which God governs the earthly world and fulfills the purpose of creation.

◯ Even though taking action is painful at times, a person can exist only by taking action. Therefore, if a person does not act, God makes them act, even if He must bring them great suffering. He does this as He did with Jonah in the Bible.
▶ Reference Scripture: Jonah 2

◯ God has arranged it so that if people take action, everything they do goes well, but if they do not, everything they do fails and comes to ruin. Therefore,

God said, “Since you are going to do it anyway, why do it while reluctantly showing your shallowness? Since you are going to do it anyway, do it joyfully and give thanks of your own accord.” God has created all the circumstances needed to act, and He has created all things in heaven and earth for us. Therefore, we must make use of them, attend to God, and live diligently. This is a duty in human life.

◯ To become healthy, you must walk, run, and exercise every day and treat any part of your body that is unwell. God created people so that they experience pain if they do not exercise and therefore, they will exercise.

Faith is the same. If you do not practice your faith, you become ill and die. All of it will bring harm. You act because otherwise you suffer. You must act before you become ill and die.

◯ If people fail to act, they themselves will suffer the consequences of their inaction.
Those who failed to do what they were supposed to do but became caught up in physical love and romantic relationships and left suffer even more pain and anguish after they leave.
If you mistakenly take a wrong path, you must come back out and continue on the path you are meant to take. If you simply remain there, you will end up living there.
This is the law of Heaven.

It is to put the Word into practice while continually changing yourself for the better.
It is to correct what is wrong.
It is to achieve and gain by praying, studying, and taking action.
Those who act will gain and be victorious.

◯ The devil and evil people prevent you from taking action. This is because you who do not act become spirits of death. Those who went to Hell are those who did not put God’s Word into practice and strayed from the path of life. While living an easy life and not doing what they were supposed to do because doing so is hard, they ultimately took the path of death, went through suffering, and went to Hell.

◯ Those who would do well if they acted do not act. Once they act, they can accomplish everything. There is nothing that is not difficult in the work of the world, too. The things we do are for the sake of our future lives in the Golden Heaven.
The Holy Spirit said, “Know that the spirits who have already been raptured have gone to the Golden Heaven and are living there.”

◯ I, Seonsaeng, work joyfully even in prison. I work joyfully because I live with God.
The Holy Spirit said, “If you take it as a struggle, then everyone will struggle. If you rejoice, everyone rejoices.” Therefore, I act with joy thinking of you too.

You are the brides of God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Son, and the Lord, so you must do things together with God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Son, and the Lord.
Once it becomes a habit and you become skilled, even difficult things become easier to do.
Athletes train every day, so they come to enjoy even strenuous exercise.
The Holy Spirit said, “You too should do likewise.”
You must keep doing it; then you will become an expert, and it will no longer be difficult.

It is a life lived together with God and the Holy Spirit. Whenever you take action, God always sees both your deeds and your heart. Act joyfully and faithfully, and act in peace. Do it, but do it in peace and harmony.

◎ You can triumph over all the Satan, devils, demons, and wicked people if you take action. You should take action, but you will be victorious only if you take action with the Lord according to the Word. Even if Satan, the devil, demons, and wicked people come to you, if you take action in this way, you will triumph over them all. This means that you can triumph over Satan and wicked people if you pray and do the work you are supposed to do.

◯ According to today’s Scripture, those who are with the Lord will be victorious.

(Revelation 17:14) “They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”

In every time period, people must be with the savior in order to be victorious. This is God’s predestination. If you act together with the Lord, you will be victorious each day. Only if you are victorious will you go where the victorious go. Your faith is alive and has not died because all of you have been victorious. Those who are defeated have to live their entire lives as servants of Satan and evil.

◯ Only if you know properly can you fight properly and be victorious. In the fight of faith, you will be victorious only if you are fully armed with absolute faith. You must act with absolute faith in the Lord and in the Word. You block the enemy’s arrows and evil’s bullets with the shield of faith. You must be victorious through this kind of spiritual power.

Also, if you reject and disbelieve all the words of evil people, tempters, and Satan, you will be victorious. If you do not resent God and the one He sent, you will be victorious. If you resent God just because things do not work out according to your own will, you place yourself on the side of evil. Then you will be subject to God’s judgment.

◯ The Israelites wanted to go, and God had them go to the land of Canaan for the sake of their generation and future generations in order to fulfill His will. Even though they were going to the land where their ancestors had lived, they resented Moses saying the journey was difficult and ultimately even resented God. As a result, they ended up living in the wilderness. God was treating them in the best possible way, but they did not understand this and resented the savior God had sent the most. Because they resented, they had to live in the place where they resented. *Resentment is an act that prevents what you *desire from being fulfilled and instead brings *ruin.
Translation note: 원망 is Korean for resentment. 원하는 means what you desire. 망하게 means bring ruin.

◯ Even if you have resented, you must immediately repent, realize, and move forward. You must know the history and God’s shimjeong. However, even though God was freeing the Israelites from the pain of Egypt, [the domain of] death, and from the suffering they most wanted to escape—and fulfilling what their ancestors had long desired—they did not know the history of their ancestors. Therefore, they committed conflict in ignorance.

◯ God always works through people. He works through the one He sent, the Man of Mission. Since God is doing it, would He not take care of it in the best way? Moses, the one sent by God – how great was the power he exhibited? How many different miracles did he perform with God to bring them out of Egypt? If they forget that, they will die.

You truly must not resent God or the one God sent. Since God is with the one He sent, resenting that person is like cutting your own lifeline while on a cliff. Amen.

◯ There are difficulties along the way to the land of Canaan. Just as there are difficulties when going to dig for treasure, just as you must pay a price when buying something, and just as you must labor, you naturally go through such difficulties. God is with people only in the greatest difficulties. People must handle the rest on their own.

◯ When you undergo tribulations and hardships because of God’s will, God makes it so that you will prosper even more as a reward for those conditions. Therefore, even if you face hardship or injustice, do not resent. Instead, act with gratitude and joy, and triumph over everything through God’s love, the Holy Spirit’s love, the Holy Son’s love, and the Lord’s love.

◯ I, Seonsaeng, also acted in this way in the past and was victorious even by myself. When I prayed, Jesus appeared and said, “In the future, people will come like clouds because of you. They will hear the Word I taught you, recognize your mission, and follow with joy. Therefore, work zealously; evangelize zealously; do more and keep doing it, even if someone causes you pain and persecutes you.”

◯ Everyone, look at the past. You also suffered so that things would turn out better. Therefore, you must remain victorious to the end. God gave you the Word through which you can be victorious, gave you strength, was always with you, gave you heavenly mental strength, and enabled you to follow the new time period. Therefore, you must continue to be victorious. Evil and evil people will lash out desperately until evil’s appointed time; when that time comes, they will disappear.

◯ These are the Holy Spirit’s words:
“Everyone, fight as one and be victorious.
Learn how to be victorious. Even now I will tell you.
If you hate your brothers or sisters, demons and Satan will come.
Satan departs only if you love.
Pray. Prayer is power.
You will be victorious easily if you pray and repent of your sins.
Have absolute faith, hold absolutely to the Word, and become absolutely united with Seonsaeng.
Be bold in mind and heart.
Even Satan and demons recognize those who act absolutely in this way and do not come near them.”

◯ Evil is base in nature, so it ultimately goes to death. God rewards in various ways those who are victorious through goodness and righteousness according to their victory. If you remain victorious to the end, God will give you the eternal Golden Heaven as an inheritance.

◯ The reason I, Seonsaeng, was always victorious in various spiritual and physical battles is that God fought together with me. They were battles of love. I was victorious together with God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Son, and Jesus.

In the past, I, Seonsaeng, was victorious in everything even by myself. Now that Providence has grown into a multitude, coming together and doing what must be done is how we are victorious each day.

Each time we triumph over the world, God gives us what belongs to the domain over which we have triumphed. Just as we are compensated according to how much we work in the world, we also receive from God according to how much we have triumphed.

◯ What Providence has gained and received was received by being victorious through action. There are also things God has given in order to fulfill His will. Therefore, what God has given must be used for His will.

◎ Only if you act and are victorious each day will you be victorious throughout the year. Likewise, your health will improve greatly only if you exercise consistently every day. The same is true of eating habits and faith. Therefore, the Holy Spirit said, “Just as you exercise every day and eat every day, practice your faith consistently every day as well.”

◯ You will live a victorious life according to your everyday faith. If you slumber and are lazy in your faith on ordinary days, you cannot triumph over even small things.

In terms of health, a person who regularly exercises and takes care of their health will overcome illness when it comes because they have strong immunity and a robust constitution. Likewise, if you always remain spiritually awake, prepared, and ready in your everyday life, Satan and evil will recognize, “That person is prepared and ready,” and avoid you. Therefore, you will be victorious according to the faith you practice in your everyday life.

◯ It is a life of always preparing and making provisions for everything. Faith, too, must be armed like a soldier. You will be victorious only if you have powerful spiritual weapons, are bold, have tactics, consult with one another, and follow the direction of the leader who is the head.

◯ God is always on the side of righteousness and the new history. Therefore, if you continue to follow without giving up, you will be victorious. You must be faithful to be victorious. You will be victorious only if you do not fall for the enticements and deceptions of evil people. Because they cannot win by ordinary means, they scheme, entice, deceive, and drag people away.

◯ We triumphed over evil with good.
You must not fight evil with evil.
If you fight with evil, grounds will be found against you, putting you at a disadvantage. You must triumph through good deeds for them to become achievements. When Satan sees such a person and recognizes that they are acting on God’s side, he gives up attacking them. Evil people, too, either turn back or leave upon seeing goodness. In this way, anyone can triumph over Satan and evil as long as they do not give in.

◯ This is God’s Word.
“When evil causes you suffering, do not remain still; proclaim through prayer. The words of the righteous are like arrows and will lodge in their hearts. Together with the angels assigned to you, fight and triumph over Satan and evil with the weapon of the Word. Give the angels instructions and direct them well.”

God’s Word is a weapon for our faith, heart, and mind. When a righteous person fights, Michael the Archangel commands the heavenly soldiers, and together they wage a righteous battle and destroy Satan and evil. Since it is God’s will for His chosen people to be victorious, God helps them be victorious.

◯ God also said, “Even when there is no need to fight Satan or evil people, always live a victorious life in your daily life. A life of doing what must be done is a victorious life.”

◯ There are things that the ancestors of faith did not fully accomplish in the flesh while fulfilling God’s will. Regarding those things, the ancestors are with their descendants in spirit and help them. Therefore, we, their descendants, must live victorious lives so that no one will be disappointed. The ancestors of faith lived when the world was evil and undeveloped—during an extreme time in the world. They were persecuted in their youth, suffered extremely, and sometimes died. As for us, it is the suffering of tribulation and persecution that we are undergoing while living in an advanced time gathered with many people. Therefore, we must act to the end, fulfill the wishes of our ancestors, and fulfill our own wishes and God’s wishes as well.

◯ In the early days of Providence, when we were poor and the time period was undeveloped, we really lived receiving much suffering. Now that we live in an advanced time, we must diligently do what must be done.

God has specially chosen us, especially in this present generation, to fulfill His will, so everyone must carry out the mission of the chosen ones. God said that He would destroy Satan and evil at this final time, so everyone must destroy them together with God.

I will conclude by highlighting the key points.

◎ By enabling us to triumph over tribulation, persecution, and suffering, God trains us further, enables us to set conditions, and helps us live with our faith cleansed more thoroughly. Now is the time when God is cleansing the whole world.

◯ To help us prosper even more, God sometimes has us walk the path of suffering briefly or for an instant. It is training and discipline for receiving something greater.

At times, God enabled us to escape death by preventing things from going well. At other times, He enabled us to avoid an accident and survive by having us take a path of pain and hardship instead of an easy path. Would God not know what is best and act accordingly?

◯ As for those who slandered and lived as enemies on the opposing side, they are being dragged around by Satan in a place like the Sodom of death. Although we suffer, it is worthwhile because we are traveling the path of life. If you fear pain, hardship, tribulation, and slander, you cannot receive the blessings given for this time period and cannot succeed. To succeed, you must be determined and endure what you must go through.

◯ The representative must also make sacrifices to save the followers and all people. Although it is arduous, it is a path of glory. The Holy Spirit said, “Let us bear the cross of this time period with the Lord and, like Ezekiel, bear the sins of your nation and joyfully go forward.” Amen!

I bid you the peace of the Holy Spirit’s love.
