I am in the process of learning many things from Rapt's Word of God, and in the end I thought that it could also be called "how humans can be surely happy".
Our human life is not a matter of whether or not it will be as we want it to be, but whether or not it will be as God wills it to be.
If we live our lives according to our own will, it does not necessarily mean that our lives will be happy, but if we live our lives according to God's will, our lives will surely flourish.
<Omission.
In the first place, there is no one in this world who can live as he or she wishes from the beginning to the end.
For this reason, many people in this world are troubled by the limitations of life, but the path of God's will can always be followed to the end if anyone is willing to go that way.
This is because God strongly protects such a person's life and powerfully guides him or her so that he or she can go that way to the end.
I sincerely pray that each and every one of you will follow the path that God wills, fulfill all your desires, and live a blessed and happy life.
Before I came across Rapt's Word and came to faith, I only wanted to "live my life the way I wanted" and besides, I thought that was natural since it was my life.
However, after studying the Word of God, the moment I realized that my way of thinking was wrong, I was shocked and amazed, as if my head had really been cracked open by something.
The following (purple box) is an excerpt from the Word of God.
Your life is not a matter of whether or not it will be as you wish, but whether or not it will be as I will.
For if you live a life that is not according to My Will, your spirit will die, your body will eventually decay, and you will fall into the depths of misery.
But if you live a life according to my will, your spirit will live and your body will flourish.
I am so glad to know that there is a way to know the greatness of God and to know that there is a way to live a life that is in accordance with His will.
I feel a sense of never-ending gratitude for this encounter with the Word of God.
Therefore, you should not be anxious and worried because your life is not as you want it to be, but pray that you may live a life that is in accord with my will.
I know what kind of life each of you should live so that your spirit will be saved and your body will live in prosperity.
Therefore, I am trying to show you the path that you should live this way and guide you to go down that path.
In other words, I am laying out the appropriate life rails for that person.
Then all he/she has to do is to go along the rail.
And those who communicate with me and become emotionally united with me will always know which direction the rails are going and will be able to live without deviating from those rails.
For some time now, God has told us that He has prepared His will for each one of us, the human race.
I almost jump up and down with joy when I hear it like that,
But, …after all, communicating with God and grasping His will is not an easy thing to do.
We must love God first and foremost, overcome Satan's temptations and attacks that try to separate us from God, and demonstrate actions to fulfill His will with a passionate heart, I think.
And of course daily prayer, repentance, and Bible enlightenment,
There are still many things we need to do to get closer to God….
Rapt also always tells us that the period of time don't go as one expects was much longer, and that period lasted for decades.
Nevertheless, since Rapt was able to follow the path according to God's will, he ended up prospering in both spirit and body, and was able to live a life of happiness wherever he went,
And although that path was not the path that Rapt had envisioned, in the end, it has become a path where all of his wishes have been fulfilled.
No one in this world is able to live their life completely according to their own wishes.
No matter how much wealth you have, no one can live the life you want.
Even if you temporarily live the life you want, your heart will eventually be filled with emptiness.
Therefore, pray and seek to live according to my will, and strive to follow that path.
I love and bless those who abandon themselves in such a way and go on the path I show them, wherever they go.
One who tries to live as he wishes is not abandoning himself before me, and therefore I have no blessing for him.
Be the one who finds the path of My prepared will, and who goes on that path unflinchingly.
There was a time when I read a lot of self-help books and attended workshops because I wanted something that would give me absolute guidance to lead a happy life, but I realized that I really didn't need those things anymore.
This is precisely because I have learned that "a way to be sure to be happy" is found in the Word of God if one does not slacken in one's efforts.
I believe that even though the road may be difficult, if one follows God's Word and does His will, God will surely bless that person.
It is not difficult for me to believe in God, who has granted me many wishes and helped and guided me up to now.
Therefore, rather than trying to make my live as I want it to be, I would rather abandon myself, put my trust in God, pray to live according to God's will, and strive to become person who can do God's will.
I am praying for you with all my heart that as many people as possible will turn once again to God, realize how to be surely happy, and be brought salvation both spiritually and physically.
"Enter by the narrow gate;
for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
