However, the Lord's love is far beyond our human dimension, so it is not so easy to understand His feelings,
But if we live our lives loving the Lord on a daily basis, we will be able to understand His feelings more deeply, and we will be surprised, moved, and touched by the sheer magnitude of His love.
And the Lord will love with an even deeper love those who love with such a deep understanding of the Lord's heart, with joy and preciousness to the fullest.
I sincerely hope that each one of you will come to love the Lord and each other deeply, and live a life filled with true blessings and grace.
As I mentioned at the beginning of my last article, God also has feelings,
We, the righteous, must live our lives of faith daily, deeply mindful of God's feelings, so that we can grasp them at any cost.
Sunday, April 4, 2021 Morning Prayer Meeting
When we receive the Spirit of the Lord, if we just end up feeling happy, we cannot receive explosive grace.
Only when we deeply realize how much the Lord loves us and how much He desires our human love, He will gladly pour out His explosive love.
Rapt tells us about the biblical episode of Mary and Martha in this morning prayer meeting.
Martha, the older sister, who was busy a serving, and Mary, the younger sister, who was sitting at Jesus' feet listening to His Word.
At first glance, it seems more hard and legitimate for Martha, who was dealing with the daily needs of the day,
However, it was Mary, the younger sister, who just kept silent and listened to the Word of God, who took Jesus' feelings into account and did what Jesus wanted her to do.
- Rapt's description, first half -
When we believe in God and live according to His Word, we will be filled with abundant grace every day of our lives.
However, no matter how much we believe in God and live according to God, we sometimes unknowingly do things that are contrary to God's Word and lose grace.
Just as human beings, even when they think they love each other, may unknowingly wound and offend the hearts of partner, so too with God, we may wound and offend the hearts of God without even realizing it.
Or even though we know it will hurt God's feelings,
because of our own weakness, we may think or do things that are not in accord with God's heart.
I think we must realize this sentiment and always act with a strong awareness of what God would be pleased with us to do now, though,
Even so, I have learned that we may unconsciously act in accordance with our own ways and ways of thinking, which may hurt God.
The following (purple box) is an excerpt from the Word of God.
You are still living in bondage to your useless thoughts.
You don't know how much easier your life would be if you completely eliminated from your minds the things you don't need to think about.
But because you do not realize this, you still spend your day thinking about useless things.
You still live your lives bound by various jinxes and your own thoughts, as if like when you still didn't have faith, that if you do this, you will feel better, or if you do that, things will go well.
It is all in vain in my eyes.
You must think the same thoughts and have the same sentiments as I do.
Only then will you be able to receive my spirit intensely and live in abundance of my love and grace.
Even if it is a common sense action that is natural to you, if it is an action that God is not pleased with, it is meaningless as a person who lives with faith,
On the contrary, it may even cause us to lose grace by offending God's feelings….
(A bit of an aside.)
God does not want us to do the work of the world, which has been dominated by Satan's side.
Instead of working like slaves under a dominant system, God wants us to work in such a way that each of us can develop our abilities and capabilities and show God's glory.
He has told us many times in His Word that God will take care of us in our lives here on earth if we also set aside time for spiritual growth and live our lives doing so for the salvation of mankind.
(I would like to write a more detailed article on this subject sometime in the future.)
Match your thoughts to me.
Adapt your mind to Me.
Don't go thinking in your own way.
It is all a waste of time.
You live your lives thinking and doing too many useless things.
Only what you do in accordance with My thoughts and feelings will be an achievement and a feat for you.
What you do with your thoughts, no matter how hard you try, will not be an achievement in my eyes, and will not be an accomplishment.
Therefore, cast away your superfluous thoughts and feelings.
Live your life according to my thoughts and feelings.
Then faithfully put my Word into practice.
Then you will be filled with my love, and you will be filled with explosive grace.
I would like to think carefully about what I have taken for granted and whether it is pleasing to God, and moreover eliminating waste so that it will lead to people's salvation,
and I would like to live my life in line with God's feelings and thoughts.
- Rapt's description, second half -
The world of sentiments is a very delicate world, and if there is even a millimeter of error, it is difficult to correct it. Nevertheless, those who know the Lord's sentiments precisely and always strive to think and do what is in accord with the Lord's sentiments will surely become loved by the Lord, become His lovers, and live filled with explosive grace.
He called us to Him to form such a love relationship with us, and He saved us by preaching His Word to us.
I would like to continue to pray until I can understand God's heart and realize His great love.
and, I pray that each righteous person will break through and discard his or her own stereotypes and always live according to the Word of God.
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height--
to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
<Ephesians 3:14-19>
