Title: Good luck in the new year
(Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, as your soul prospers.)
1. I wish you all good health in the new year.
The New Year's wish for everyone was the health of their families.
Probably because health is the greatest blessing.
The biggest threat inside is illness.
Not everyone wants to get sick.
A disease is something that all come unexpectedly.
Before getting sick, other things are the priority of life, but for the sick, health is the number one priority.
Health is a strange thing that you only realize its value after you lose it.
Health is something that cannot be changed by giving anything.
The poorest people in the world are sick people.
This is because when you get sick, you cannot move on your own, and you cannot live on your own.
You think about how much you would have said that if you wanted to walk on two legs.
When they get sick, they are all in need of help.
That's why I feel most lonely, sad and frustrated when I'm sick. The Lord had compassion on the sick and healed them.
Also, there were more sick people than healthy people before the Lord.
It was because their wish was so earnest.
In today's text, the apostle John said to his younger disciples, "I wish that all things may go well with you and you may be in good health, as your soul prospers."
It's important that everything goes well, but health comes first.
I believe this kind of greeting is the best greeting in the new year.
"I wish you all good health and good health in the new year."
May we all exchange greetings with those around us.
And please shake hands.
Among sicknesses, physical diseases are also diseases, but there are also diseases of the mind and spirit.
People often think that only physical illness is the disease.
However, you should know that most diseases these days begin with diseases of the mind.
Diseases that cannot be detected by X-rays are called neurological diseases.
The word neurosis comes from the Greek word ra. means spirit.
That is why mental illness is also called mental illness.
Also, we must know that the disease of the heart begins with the disease of the soul.
Because that's what the human component is made of.
All animals have a flesh and a soul.
But there is no soul.
Even cows don't want to enter the slaughterhouse. Dogs are also arrogant in front of merchants.
Why? Because he knows he will die.
However, there is no soul, which is the image of God in man. So they live without knowing God.
They don't know how to worship God.
So we live and die according to our instincts.
Therefore, a person must have a clear soul to have a healthy mind, and when a person has a healthy mind, the body can remain healthy.
That's why he said, "I want you to prosper and be in good health as your soul prospers.
In that sense, I wish everyone a healthy new year.
2. First of all, I hope that all our families will be healthy in the new year.
This is because when the family is healthy, all members of the family living in it will be healthy.
When a family gets sick, everyone in the family gets sick.
It has a devastating effect, especially on the growing second generation.
In order for a family to be strong, these three must be in balance.
In that regard, first of all, I hope that there will be no difficulties in living, clothing, and shelter.
I hope that work will be created in the heart of the desire to work. I hope the things you've already done go well.
If you have any plans to start a business in the new year, I hope it goes well.
And I wish you all the best in the new year. And I hope the companies do well.
I wish you and your children all the best in the new year.
I hope that my children who are in the military do well in the new year.
I hope that there will be no obstacles in the study of the children who study abroad.
I hope that the families of believers will do better in every way than the families of non-believers.
Also, I hope that the families of the believers will have peace with each other.
I hope the love between the couple will grow stronger.
I hope that we will respect each other and take care of each other.
I hope that love will spread to neighbors and society.
So I hope that believing families will become healthy families.
To have healthy families, you must have healthy souls.
3. I wish you all souls in the new year.
Human beings are spiritual beings and cannot be satisfied with physical satisfaction.
So, as the quality of life improves, mental problems coexist.
Suicide rate rises. More social problems arise.
It all stems from the problems of the human soul.
When the soul becomes well, the mind becomes clear and the things of the body become well.
Even if you make a lot of money, if your soul is not doing well, that money will lead to corruption.
Even with high status and power, if the soul is not healthy, it will bring about injustice.
When the soul is healthy, everything goes well.
Originally, God created Eden and wanted to live without any pain.
This was the purpose of God's creation.
Therefore, the restoration of Eden is the completion of God's work of redemption.
God is not a God who wants us to live in pain.
God wants everyone to live happily and happily.
However, because of human sin, tears, sighs, and suffering are always prevalent on this earth.
Therefore, for a healthy soul to prosper, it begins with the fear of the Lord.
For those who have the heart of Zion open to God, all things lead to prosperity.
These were the words of God's repeated covenant to the nation of Israel.
In Deuteronomy 28:1-6, we read, "If you listen carefully to the word of the LORD your God and keep all his commands I am giving you today, the LORD your God will set you above all the nations of the world. You are your God. All these blessings will come upon you and come upon you if you obey the word of the LORD; you will be blessed in the city and blessed in the field, and the offspring of your own body, and the offspring of your land, and the young of your animals and the offspring of your flocks will be blessed. And your basket and your bowl of bread dough will be blessed, and you will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.??
Psalm 84:5 says, "Blessed is the one whose strength is in You, and whose heart has a highway to Zion. When they pass through the Valley of Tears, they make it a place of many springs, and the early rain favors them." I did.
Therefore, I wish you a stronger soul in the New Year
A prosperous soul means an improved relationship with God.
All pride that was heightened without God was broken, broken, and destroyed.
Before the Soviet revolution, 95% were Christians.
If you go to Russia, you can still see the splendid churches built during the imperial Russia.
It can be seen that the roofs of the synagogues were usually domed, all decorated with gold.
However, in such a prosperous Christian country, Christians at that time kept away from their relationship with God, and the accumulation of wealth flowed into luxury and debauchery. He caused a revolution with a sickle and brought it down.
On the other hand, they also stopped them from fearing God, arrested and killed the Lord's servants, and persecuted the saints, but they collapsed after only 80 years.
This is the principle of the rise and fall of human history.
A healthy mind follows a healthy soul, and a healthy body follows a healthy mind.
So, people who live their faith life correctly and live the Word in their lives will see that they age gracefully even when they grow old.
However, if you look at the bodies that have spent time in vain, the symptoms of old age are prominently displayed.
What's more, it's a spectacle to see what people who lived by taking care of their bodies go through.
As we trim our faces, we should also refine our minds, but we see that we neglect to refine our minds.
I saw it on TV a while ago.
Looking at women's facial care, I've seen them come up with really clever ideas. I've seen them apply Dead Sea soil, various facials, and even thread massages.
Just like him, so are men.
If it is good for the body, it will eat anything.
I've been thinking like this sometimes.
Watching the swarms of caterpillars that kill pine trees in the summer, if you catch them and say that they are good for your energy, they will sell well...
Because there is nothing that men in our country cannot eat. I've seen snakes, earthworms, bear galls, and even frogs fried.
If we think of our souls with such devotion and zeal, why can't everything go well?
When the soul dries up, everything will inevitably dwindle.
I hope that your soul will prosper, so that you can be sure that everything will be successful.
As in today's text, I pray that all things will go well and you will be in good health this year as your soul prospers in the Lord. ??
