More than 13 years ago, he and his wife began receiving words from the Holy Spirit, which led to the founding of the Christian Spirituality Academy (CSA) in Chungju, South Korea. Through this ministry, they have witnessed miraculous healings, the casting out of demons, and undeniable evidence of the living God’s power and truth. While some church leaders claim that prophecy ceased with the completion of Scripture, Pastor Shin affirms that such a belief contradicts the Word of God. The Apostle Paul exhorted believers to earnestly desire the gift of prophecy, and the Holy Spirit has revealed to Pastor Shin that prophecy remains essential for ensuring church leaders walk in alignment with God’s will rather than their own. Rejecting this divine gift has left modern churches devoid of discernment, jeopardizing ministries and leaving many vulnerable to deception. Denying prophecy distorts Scripture and carries grave spiritual consequences. With trembling and hope, Pastor Shin shares these prophetic messages, urging every reader to evaluate them against Scripture and witness their fulfillment through his ministry. This book is not just a testimony but a divine call to rediscover the power of the living God and restore His truth to this generation and the church today.]]> Sat, 30 Nov 2024 20:41:55 +0000 Prophecy Note, you are eligible for a three-month subscription to access prayer training videos.

Examples of this approach include morning prayer meetings, determined prayers, thousand-offering prayers, and fasting prayers. But have these efforts consistently produced the desired outcomes or answers? Jesus said we would receive whatever we ask for, yet few people experience such miracles. As a result, many churches are slowly but surely losing those who pray. Do you know why? Because church leaders often don’t teach people how to pray properly. Prayer is a way to maintain a close connection with God. Since God is spirit, prayer allows our souls to communicate with Him. This means that prayer, like studying or research, involves mental effort. A proper prayer consists of calling out to God, praising Him, worshiping Him, giving thanks, and seeking His will. To do this effectively, we need to focus when we pray. As many people know, when you begin to pray in this manner, all kinds of thoughts can flood your mind, making it difficult to focus. This happens because demons will try to disrupt your concentration. Therefore, in order to stay focused and sharp during prayer, you must practice praying and resisting these distractions over time. How can you improve your concentration during prayer? First, you need to simplify your life. Eliminate anything that hinders your ability to pray, particularly things that distract you. Activities like computer games, internet surfing, TV shows, and movies can be entertaining, but they consume a lot of your time and mental energy. You can’t concentrate on prayer if you’re constantly engaging in these stimulating activities. Social activities with friends and clubs can also divert your focus. Meeting with people and attending numerous gatherings take up time, and it’s obvious that you can’t concentrate on prayer when you’re always occupied with social engagements. The same applies to hobbies and shopping. But the greatest time-consuming factor is often related to earning a living. Many people are too busy to pray because they feel they need to make more money. They are so exhausted from work that they fall asleep instead of praying. In essence, they end up worshiping money more than they worship God. If you can meet your basic needs, you must give up the pursuit of extra earnings to focus on prayer. However, this often comes with significant sacrifice. As a result, prayer becomes an act of offering yourself to the Lord. This means you must relinquish anything that brings you worldly joy, including money. That’s why it’s so challenging to find Christians who pray day and night for at least an hour at a time. Even if you get up to pray, it’s pointless if you don’t eliminate distractions. You must live as simply as possible. Other than working to cover basic living expenses and running essential errands, your time should be dedicated to prayer. Without simplifying your life, you won’t be able to focus on praying, and without focus, your prayers will become repetitive and ineffective. Second, you need to increase both the strength and frequency of your prayers. There's a saying, "The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer." Over time, a small number of wealthy people accumulate most of the wealth, while many become poorer. The same principle applies to prayer. Prayer is a spiritual battle against demons, requiring heightened attention. Those who pray with intense focus will improve their concentration, while those who don’t will find it harder and may eventually give up. You need to find time to pray as often and as much as possible. Even throughout the day, pray whenever you have a moment. Those who increase both the quantity and intensity of their prayers will see their concentration improve. On the other hand, those who lack these two qualities will lose focus, and their prayers will fade away. You need to be committed to your prayers, treating them as your lifeline. Only then will you experience the miracles promised in the Bible. Otherwise, you risk repeating empty, self-satisfying prayers that only wear you out, leading you to give up in the end. Third, you need to pray as you read scripture. You’ve likely been told before to "pray while holding onto God's word," which sounds both excellent and biblical. Yet, it may not have been as effective as you hoped. Do you know why? Even if you passionately declare your faith in it, it may seem meaningless to God. God’s word isn’t something you automatically have faith in, nor is it a spell that gives you power just by reciting it. He only answers those who bring Him joy and show true faith. He communicates His messages through the Bible. Therefore, if you pray for the Holy Spirit’s indwelling while reading scripture, the Holy Spirit will enlighten you. This is the moment when you begin to truly believe in God’s word. Your spiritual strength will multiply, and you will become a person who lives by God’s word, bringing Him joy. Only when you pray with the word of God can you concentrate even more on prayer because God reveals Himself only to those He rejoices in. Therefore, to maintain focus, you must regularly pray while reading the Bible and gain the wisdom imparted by the Holy Spirit. These three points are essential to staying focused during prayer. That’s all for today. Thank you.]]> Sat, 12 Oct 2024 15:08:28 +0000 Youtube I thought I would succeed if I worked hard. I thought I would be happy if I married a good person. I thought God would bless me if I did what my church told me to do. But life didn't turn out like I thought. No matter how hard I worked, I wasn't good enough. Even when I worked diligently at my job, they let me go. I tried to be a good steward by obeying what my church told me to do, but life became more difficult. Still, I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I later learned that the king of this world was not God but Satan. People who don't have the habit of praying daily, people who don't have fellowship with God daily, live as prisoners of Satan in bondage by the chains of sin. I was fortunate to find out the truth before it was too late. "I accept Jesus as my Savior" prayer, attending church regularly, or being involved in a ministry didn't solve the problem. Only through praying and calling on God without ceasing all day can we become God's people who possess His kingdom in our hearts.]]> Mon, 03 Jun 2024 13:28:11 +0000 Prayer Jesus Demanded Us and What the Bible Says About It   I would like to talk about the prayer Jesus demanded us to do, as well as what the Bible says about it. The amazing power of the Holy Spirit has been long gone in today's church. So, it is not too weird to see churches that are powerless. It is because churchgoers don't love God during the week; they don't even look for him. Then, on Sundays, they gather in church, participate in the service, eat and drink with fellow Christians, talk about how they've been, and then go back home. And the cycle repeats. Then there are people who passionately volunteer in different activities to keep the church going or to expand their church's power, and there are people who participate in church seminars and other educational programs. However, as people have done many times before, the church today will repeat religious services and ceremonies, sacrificial acts of faith, which have nothing to do with the Holy Spirit or his power. And they will stand before the Lord when the day comes, thinking they have no problem getting into Heaven. But as Jesus mentioned that Heaven is inside us, I don't think people who have never experienced Heaven in their lifetime will actually get there. What is the reason behind it? Why are you not experiencing Heaven in this world, even though you are a faithful Christian?   It is because you are not praying in the way Jesus told us to. So, I would like to talk about that today. Jesus demands us to pray in secret. In Matthew 6: 5-6, Jesus says, "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly, I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Jesus tells us to go into our room where no one can disturb us, and pray and communicate with God deeply and intimately. But many church leaders tell us to come to church and pray there. Church, first of all, is not a private place. There are people coming in and out, so it is really hard for you to pray in secret. Therefore, it is not a biblical way to pray. Of course, I am not saying it is wrong to pray in church.   I am just saying that you need to make a habit of praying in a quiet, private place; that is what Jesus told us to do, and that is what God wants us to do. However, many people come to morning prayer meetings to be seen by pastors and other church members. You cannot meet God this way. It is despicable in God's eyes to pray to be seen by others. Second, Jesus wants us to pray without stopping. The famous verse, "Pray continually," comes from 1 Thessalonians 5: 17. Also, Jesus said, "Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man," in Luke 21: 36. The way Jesus prays is to be always on the watch and to pray incessantly.   That simply is hard to do if you only can pray in a certain place like church. Because no one lives in the church. God is a spirit; he exists beyond time and place. That means you can always call out to him and communicate with him whenever and wherever. But it would be very hard for people who are only used to praying in church.   It is like students saying they can only study in public libraries, that they can only focus on their academics when they study there. If you want to become an A+ student, you need to learn to study anywhere, whether you study at home or school; it shouldn't matter.   So, praying continually is a crucial condition if you want to talk with God and be close to him. All the people in the Bible that God loved were the ones who always talked to God and kept a close relationship with him. It is obvious that people cannot have anything close to a relationship if they only pray in certain religious buildings. Of course, they will not know the meaning of continually praying when the only prayer they know is to pray about certain prayer requests at certain times.   Third, you need to call out to God with all you have. In Jeremiah 29: 13, God says, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." "But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul," says Deuteronomy 4: 29.   You need to put all your heart, effort, and power into your prayers. Because praying is an act of confessing your true feelings. But some people just pray quietly, as if they are meditating, and they think about what they are praying, as they pray only in certain places. You can't say these people pray with all their hearts. "Praying with all your heart and soul" means to pray with everything you have within you. Good examples would be Jacob praying by River Jabbok and Jesus praying when he was in Gethsemane.   The Bible says that the apostles and the 120 followers who prayed in Mark's attic prayed with everything they had. But do you think people can pray with all their hearts and soul when their prayer method is meditative, or if they keep on praying in tongues? How can you pray with all you've got when you are busy thinking about a certain place or process? This is not biblical at all. And that is why you don't experience the power of the Holy Spirit or get your prayers answered. Because this is not the way God wanted you to pray; Also, you simply need to ask for God's will.   Jesus has said in Matthew 6: 7-8, "And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."   "Many words" in the passage means repeated words, like a drunk saying the same thing over and over. Jesus tells us not to "babble" because what the pagans did was repeat their prayer mindlessly, just as a formality. If you attend morning prayer meetings, take a moment to listen to what other people are praying. Most of them will pray about the secular blessings they desire. But they'd run out of things to say in about 5 minutes. So they will repeat what they want a couple of times then leave. People who pray longer usually have a longer list of what they want and repeat more than others. Did those prayers have any results? These types of prayers are just for self-satisfaction. They become satisfied by the fact that they have prayed for a long time; they are happy when they leave the church. But those prayers don't mean a thing if God doesn't listen to them. The reason why prayers are decreasing in churches today, and why they are powerless, is because people are not praying in the way God likes. They make up their own rules and pray accordingly, and that has nothing to do with what Jesus demands. A prayer is not a way to ask God for what I want; it is a way to communicate with him, to stay close by his side. We all need to call out to God constantly, pray with all our hearts and souls, and make it a habit. It is unfortunate to see people praying for their satisfaction as if it is a magic spell. And this is why God doesn't listen. And that's it for today. Thank you.]]> Mon, 03 Jun 2024 13:22:15 +0000 Youtube   Heaven exists in your heart. The Bible says that the kingdom of God is within you. Therefore, the kingdom of God is where the Holy Spirit rules, the territory over which God reigns. The proof that His kingdom has come true must be evident inside you. Your heart should be filled with peace, joy, and happiness. On the contrary, hell is full of negative thoughts put in by demons. If your heart is filled with worry, fear, hatred, despair, impatience, and anger, you are living in hell. Therefore, I urge you to develop the habit of praying without ceasing with your whole heart, calling on God, and inviting the Holy Spirit to come into you. If any negative thoughts come into your mind, immediately cast them out by crying out in the blood of Jesus Christ. Only those who fight against demons and are victorious can enter the kingdom of God. Only then will God protect your heart and mind and allow you to enjoy His presence in your life. Therefore, examine yourself to see if heaven is truly within your heart today.]]> Mon, 20 May 2024 23:23:01 +0000 7. How to Distinguish Real Prophecies.   Let's talk about prophecy and how to distinguish the real ones from the false ones. I am pretty sure you have had an awful experience regarding the word "prophecy." Because it is a gift of the Holy Spirit, but it never really had positive effects on our church today. So influential theologists of the church today teach that the gift of prophecy has already ended because the era of the Bible has come to an end. But these are just theories they came up with, as their own interpretation. Because there is no such mention in the Bible. However, their theories seem to be favorable for many Christians. This is because groups that believe in prophets were often considered cults, and people who claim that they have the power to foresee the future have different ideals and principles from common Christianity. They may not be biblical at all.   And this is why "prophets" today are either shunned from Christian communities or are celebrated and considered God-sent. So, I would like to talk about prophets and the gift of prophecy today. I was once asked to distinguish real prophets from the fakes from a group, and I went, out of curiosity.   Unfortunately, their prophecies were either given by demons or arbitrary comments. Arbitrary predictions are usually vague. Predictions from demons are more accurate, but they are also more trivial and intriguing to listen to than predictions and discussions of God's work. And many of the prophets fit into this category. But I am pretty sure this type of prophets and non-believers will be enraged when they hear my comments. Because I myself upload prophecies, I have gotten from the Holy Spirit on my Academy website. So, non-believers will consider me a member of a cult, and people whom I claimed are getting their predictions from demons will be furious at me for saying such a thing. However, there aren't many people who are able to tell apart the real prophecy and the false ones, so a prophecy may not even get people's attention, even if it is from the Holy Spirit. It is very sad to see. Prophecy is a spiritual experience with a thought coming to your mind. There are two types of prophecies. One is spoken, the one we listen through our ears. The other comes through our thoughts. It is similar to epiphany, where you come to the realization of some sort. Realization is about something you want to know, given by the Holy Spirit, but prophecy has nothing to do with what you want. So prophecies can have words that you don't regularly use or know the meaning of, and they are often told in words used in the Bible.   But demons also give out words, just like how the Holy Spirit does. So don't believe that all the thoughts and words given to you are from the Holy Spirit. Most of them are from demons But it doesn't mean there is no prophecy given by the Holy Spirit. You just need to distinguish them and filter out the false ones. However, the ability to distinguish is also given by the Holy Spirit, and people cannot tell them apart easily if you don't have the gift. Let's talk about prophecies mentioned in the Bible. "Do not treat prophecies with contempt," says Thessalonians 5: 20. 1 Corinthians 14: 39 - 40 says, "Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy and do not forbid speaking in tongues. But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. And in 14: 29 - 32, "Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets." The Bible says in 2 Peter 1: 21, "For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." Apostle Paul said, "I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified," in 1 Corinthians 14: 5. "And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues," says 1 Corinthians 12: 28. The word prophets is translated from the word "nabi" in Hebrew and "prophetes" in Greek, and these prophets were considered very high in rank, right below the apostles. But today, people don't accept the prophets today, and demon-driven fortune tellers gave them a bad name.   And so it is really hard to see people with abilities to chase demons away and to prophcise. " At that time, many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold," said Jesus in Matthew 24: 10 - 12   And in Matthew 24: 23-24, "At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." Demons are aware of the importance of prophecies, so they try their best to con people, whispering their thoughts into people and controlling them.   Jesus said that there will be a lot of false prophets when the end is near. Therefore, you need to stay sharp to distinguish whether the prophecies are given by the Holy Spirit or by demons. You need to be able to see the difference between what the Holy Spirit predicts and what demons predict. Prophecies given by the Holy Spirit mostly consist of salvation of lost souls and expansion of his nation, but false prophets' are no different from those of fortune tellers.   So they tell you things that can gain your interest and curiosity, as well as trivial information about people around you. Demons can read people's thoughts, and so they can somewhat predict the future and get it right. But they cannot predict every single event. In truth, the spirit of falsehood does not know the future. But it prophcises and then controls people to act accordingly, which ends with 7, 80% accuracy of the future. If it cannot predict every single event in the future right, it is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is almighty and powerful and will let things happen according to his prophecy 100%. And please see if the prophet has changed in nature, whether he became holy and divine. God is holy in nature, and the person who claims to have the Holy Spirit in him/her has not become holy, it must be the spirit of falsehood. You need to see if the prophet's prediction is in biblical nature, and if you cannot tell, see if there are other proofs of the Holy Spirit, or if he/she carries fruit of Holy Spirit. Also, thoroughly examine whether the motive is holy or not, if it is out of greed or his/her own will, and see if the person has changed in nature. A lot of self-claimed prophets are greedy and proud. And they try to use their gift of prophecy, in order to control people, asking for more offerings and donations. They also try to widen their churches' power. If the prophet threatens the followers with disasters and misfortune and makes them feel unsafe to control them, he/she is controlled by the spirit of falsehood like zombies. And organizations or groups that have you study or practice prophecy have nothing to do with the Holy Spirit. Prophecy is an ability given by God, a gift. It is not something you can acquire by studying or practicing. People who help you study it claim their own thoughts or thoughts they received from demons as God's prophecy. The most important thing is that you need to see if their prophecies are in accordance with the Bible. If not, they are definitely lies. However, it is hard to pick out all those lies when false prophets talk about things that are not mentioned in the Bible. So please make sure that the prophet has other proofs of the Holy Spirit's indwelling, abilities, and fruit of the Holy Spirit. Even if the prophet boasts of his talent, if there is no biblical proof for his or her power, that prophet has nothing to do with God. People of the Holy Spirit should successfully save lost souls, expand God's nation, and teach their followers. But if not, they are just liars who claim their own thoughts are given to them by God. Let me finish with what Jesus said about how to distinguish the false prophets. Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly, they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit, you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?   That's it for today. Thank you.]]> Mon, 20 May 2024 23:19:25 +0000 Youtube It is all about the attitude. People with great achievements in the world have positive mindsets, and the same goes for people of faith. Because all negative thoughts are given by evil spirits. Positive thoughts can also come from one's humanistic perspectives. Or they may come from truly entrusting God. Positive thoughts may not bear much fruit if they are from one's own, but if you put your faith in God, they will have tremendous power and abundant fruit. Unfortunately, Christians these days are unable to experience the power of God because they mix the two haphazardly. Faith is living by entrusting everything to God, which is a gift from God, not one's own will or effort. Therefore, only those who fill the days with prayers calling on God every day, fighting against all negative thoughts given by evil spirits, and crying out with the blood of Jesus can experience the extraordinary life promised in the Bible.]]> Sat, 11 May 2024 10:57:52 +0000 6. You Won't Meet God If You Are Not Crazy About Praying. I would like to discuss why you cannot meet God unless you are crazy about praying to him. It is given that you cannot get into Seoul National University (SNU), the best University in South Korea, if you are not crazy about studying, or that you cannot speak fluent English if you are not crazy about learning English. But it feels weird to say that you cannot meet God if you are not crazy about praying to him. Do you know why? Because worldly things like getting into SNU or becoming fluent in English can be proven and checked right away. But there is no objective standard to find out whether you have met God or not. So, today, the church tells you that the Holy Spirit starts dwelling inside you after you accept Jesus as your savior. Then, if you recite the prayer, as pastors tell you to, do you suddenly become a man of faith? But what they say is just claiming their own interpretations of the Bible. Then, which one can you confirm‎ faster? Great academic skills that put you in SNU? Fluent English skills? Or your life with God? It will be hard to tell apart if a person claims that he/she goes to SNU and creates degrees or student ID and even attends classes. Even with English skills, it will be hard to tell if the person is just conversational, or at the level of understanding TV shows, or fluent that he/she can understand all the sarcastic jokes and trade comments. It is hard to tell unless you are at the equivalent or higher level. Same with spirituality, you will have to be a person who walks with God every day and has knowledge that the Bible provides in order to tell if others live their lives with Christ. Let's find out what God has told us what to do if we want to meet him. The Bible says, "But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul," in Deuteronomy 4: 29. Also, it says, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart," in Jeremiah 29: 13. In Proverbs 8: 17, God says, "I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me." The people whom God likes are the ones who seek him with all their hearts and souls. And I don't think reciting a minute-long prayer of accepting Jesus as your Lord counts. It is just ridiculous. The church today teaches that God is already inside each of us, so no one even thinks to seek him. Who is God? He created this world, operates it, and supervises one's life and death, fortune and misfortune. He is the God Almighty. Then how come you don't have any power, ability, or change if God Almighty lives within you? Does he come to live with you if you have positive thoughts that he will come to you someday? Does the Holy Spirit work in that manner? It is ridiculous to think that. I am sure you know that the way to communicate with God is through prayers. Do you pray and call to God every day with all your heart and soul and read the Bible to find his messages for you? The famous passage comes from 1 Thessalonians 5: 17: "Pray continually." Jesus also said, "Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man." In Psalms 1: 2, David sings, "but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night." It says in John 1: 1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." "Pray continually," says 1 Thessalonians 5: 17. The word "continually" translates from the Greek word 'adialeiptos' which means 'without stopping.' It concurs with how Jesus tells us to pray continually. But church goes today, and we barely pray for an hour a day. Also, God reveals himself through the Bible. People whom God meets must read and think deeply about the Bible and try to understand the spiritual world through the Holy Spirit. But if you can't remember when you last read the Bible, you are not the one trying to ask God to come into your life. People who are filled with God's love constantly think about the Lord, pray, and desire to read and understand God's messages through the Bible. And they probably call out to God all the time, calling his name, looking for him, as if they are deeply and intensly in love with God. People who are crazy for God are the ones who are crazy about praying. Because you can't pray constantly without being crazy about it. People who pray restlessly are the ones who pray and call to the Lord whenever they'd like. And these people are the ones God loves, and they are the ones God wants to meet. And so, I would like to ask you. Do you pray restlessly and live a life with God with you always? It's given that I ask this question. My ministry and calling is to train people to pray and have the Holy Spirit dwell within. So if you visit my webpage and read the columns, you will learn how to pray constantly, in detailed steps. Come and talk to people at the Academy and find out what kind of life awaits, after you learn to pray properly, in a manner that God wants you to pray. It has been over two years since I started the school in ChungJoo, and hundreds of people have seen God's presence with me and the people of the Academy through our ministry and our lives. I am pretty sure there are many people other than myself who can tell you how we are doing with our lives. But if you are questioning me and the Academy just to pick a fight, you don't need to come down all the way to Chungjoo. Of course, if you'd really like to learn to meet and communicate with God, you will find a way, no matter what. Wouldn't that be the ideal portrait of yourself as a Christian? To become a person who always walks with God? For people like the one I mentioned, it will be very surprising to find out there is such a place that tells you all these secrets to meet the Lord. That's why you need to be crazy about praying. Because God won't meet you unless you give up your life, your heart, and everything to your Lord. That's it for today. Thank you.]]> Sat, 11 May 2024 10:54:40 +0000 Youtube The Holy Spirit told me that a powerful prayer life equals living a powerful life. In other words, to have an abundant life, you must have the power of prayer. However, most people believe that to succeed and live happily, you must have education, credentials, connections, and money. This is a wicked illusion created by Satan, who is the God of this world. Satan is deceiving us into thinking that the world we see with our physical eyes and experiences is everything. If you truly believe that God created all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, and governs the history, life, death, and happiness of people, you must live longing for the power that God gives. The people of God in the Bible had extraordinary lives because they devoted their lives to prayer and had intimate fellowship with God until they left this earth. Either you live deceived by the God of this world and continue to live in pursuit of greed and worldly pleasures, or you live daily, pouring your whole heart into walking with God through prayer.  The choice is yours.]]> Tue, 23 Apr 2024 23:01:08 +0000 Signs of Faith Have Disappeared in the Church Today.   Today, I would like to talk about how and why signs of faith have disappeared from today's church. In the Bible, the Greek word 'semeion' is used. It translates into the word 'sign' in English. Other words similar to this are 'mark,' 'indication,' 'signal,' and 'symptom.' All these words point to "faith." As in "signs of faith."   Faith is an abstract concept that signifies the state of mind. I am surprised and glad to see it in the Bible, as Jesus pin-points it and talks about it in details. Let me recite a few passages from the Bible regarding this. 'And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name, they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well,' says Mark 16: 17 - 18.   Jesus talks about the signs that follow the believer of Jesus. They are the ones that chase away demons, make people speak in new tongues, pick up snakes, and be perfectly immune to drinking deadly poison.   This is a famous passage, and I am sure many Christians have heard of this. But no one really takes a moment to ponder upon this passage, as if this is a fossil from the past that no one finds useful. Do you know why that is? Because theologists claimed the signs and miracles I mentioned earlier had happened way back in the era of the Apostles and are only limited to that time perioed. And the church accepted the claim. But the Bible never mentions anything about miracles being limited to the Era of the Judges. Only theologists, a few theologists claim that. Then, what does Jesus say about miracles and signs of faith? 'For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished,' says Matthew 5: 18.   Jesus said that none of his words will disappear until everything is accomplished. Then the same should be applied to the signs of faith.   And I am aware that not that many people will consider that passage seriously, even if it is from the Bible, from Jesus himself. The funny thing is, people today put some theologists' theories above the word of Jesus.   Isn't this odd? To think what some theologists are claiming is more important than what Jesus said? It is scary to think this is actually happening in our church today.   Do you know why? Leaders of the church use that theory in order to hide their inability and powerlessness. The passage from the Book of Mark I mentioned earlier just talks only about common signs of faith. But these signs are non-existent in our church today. Pastors and leaders can't accept and proclaim the fact they don't have the Holy Spirit living inside them, can they?   That is why they teach you that Holy Spirit will come inside you automatically, as soon as you confirm‎ your faith and come to church on Sundays regularly. And that creates conflict between what they teach and what the Bible actually says about power given by the Holy Spirit. That is why they degrade the power of Holy Spirit, saying those things were possible back in ancient times. Can you consider these people, who twist the words of God and interpret on their own convenience, faithful servant of God? But there is a bigger problem. It is a fact that there are tons of followers and believers who listen and believe whatever their leaders say. The Holy Spirit once told me that students will go to hell without a doubt if teachers are already there. Then it is really not that hard to guess where Christians will go if they learn from faithless teachers of the Bible. Scary to even think about. Isn't it? I mean, if it were true that this kind of faith was only happening in ancient times, then shoudln't Jesus' words also mention something like that? Let me recite a few of what Jesus had said,   "He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you,'" says Matthew 17: 20   Luke 17: 6 says, "He replied, 'If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.'" "‘If you can?’ said Jesus. 'Everything is possible for one who believes,'" says Mark 9: 23. Again, "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." says Matthew 21: 22.   If people who believe all these signs of faith are limited to the Period of Judges are right, then Jesus would be a liar. He would be the wrong one. Jesus claimed that we will see and experience miracles if we have faith as small as a mustard seed. He said that everything is possible for one who believes. Then, how about the pastors who say there is no doubt we are all going to heaven if we accept Jesus? Do they have the power and ability to show how faithful they really are? If not, are we going to conclude that all these miracle working power was only allowed back in the Era of Judges? The Bible never said anything like this, so it will be hard to come to this conclusion. So many pastors show different theories and interpretations or even change the subject. Something even weirder happens in our church today.   No one asks or debates about claims and thoughts that oppose the Bible. No one is courageous to ask his or her pastor. That is because no one wants to ruin their church life by asking questions that can cause trouble. No one is even thinking about raising a question. People usually think, 'Our pastor will teach us everything; he is the servant of God.'   Why does this happen?   It's because the demons are on top of leading pastors' heads, putting their thoughts and lies into their heads. That is why there is no enlightenment, and thoughts opposing the Bible seem acceptable, although they speak of the holy book. That is why there is no sign of faith at all in churches that God has left.   So the souls of those followers are dry and empty; their lives are hard and unhappy. It is the result of powerless, lethargic belief. see all this.   That's it for today. Thank you.]]> Tue, 23 Apr 2024 22:57:08 +0000 Youtube What would you do if today was the last day of your life? You might get annoyed by this question, especially asked on a busy morning, but it is inevitably true that one day, that day will surely come to you. What if you are destined to stand before the judgment seat of Christ tomorrow morning? What would you do today? You will say goodbye to the people you love, and regrets and yearning for the days you have lived will flash by. But more importantly, shouldn't you get ready for eternal life? If you are someone who has put off preparing for your life after death, even praying to God and asking Him to have mercy on you will be very awkward and unfamiliar. So, how devastated would it be if you woke up at the judgment seat of God? Therefore, if you are wise, you must be the person who lives as if today is the last day. If you prepare for that day with God-given peace and faith through daily prayers, even if the judgment comes suddenly, you will greet Him with joy and look forward to your life everlasting with our Father in Heaven.]]> Thu, 11 Apr 2024 21:31:19 +0000 Thu, 11 Apr 2024 21:09:07 +0000 Change Password Please go to 'Subscription - My account. and click 'edit your password and account details.'
