will see God.
The land of Canaan is a land of life and a land flowing with milk and honey. When milk and honey flow, the water of life flows. Therefore, the saints who enter the land of Canaan will live as the living water flowing down from the throne of God flows through their foreheads like a waterfall with a loud sound.
Sometimes it flows like spring rain, like a drizzle, and it comes through the forehead. In the book of Revelation, the 144,000 are said to be servants with a seal on their foreheads, but you seem to be referring to this kind of experience.
In this stage of purifying the heart, he completely renounces all lustful possessions, and brings him down to the lowest, lowest, most pitiful, worldly and carnal things. And it is to receive the blessing of having the best possessions from the kingdom of heaven, the life of God, and the water of life flowing in like a waterfall.
Therefore, those who want to always practice love without blemish, practice humility without blemish, and bear the fruits of light such as unblemished mercy, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, courage, and honesty. A person can grow quickly and reach a higher level.
But, ‘We are spiritually rudimentary, we are spiritually young, and we are spiritually weak, so let’s just live in moderation for now. To live thoroughly, you have to go to a higher level and practice hard.’ It is impossible for anyone who thinks like this to teach. It is difficult for those who think like this to enter a deeper spiritual realm.
If you look at people like Francis, Rosa, Ignatius Loyola, Thunder Singh, and the Apostle Paul, you can see that they all lived a life of sacrificial loyalty and virtue for the Lord while living a thorough self-denial from the start.
In this way, after passing through the third refinement process, the Israelites will receive abundant spiritual blessings just as the Israelites were fully inherited the land of Canaan flowing with milk and honey. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.” It means that you will enter a state of more abundant grace than what you have said.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God” (Matthew 5:9).
Blessed are the peacemakers
After that, you will enter the stage of peacemaking. By securing a land flowing with milk and honey, you will always receive abundant graces and have a deep spiritual relationship with God, so now you have entered into a more relaxed spiritual life.
Therefore, for the sake of the peace of others in life, they are particularly good at reconciling, practicing love moment by moment, practicing humility, practicing meekness, and practicing loyalty and mercy. That's why I called it a step to peace.
Since he has already received the blessing of being at peace with God, he is doing a lot of reconciliation with his neighbors on this earth, especially those who are at odds with each other and live selfishly. He reconciles big fights and reconciles small fights. It means that we have reached the stage of bearing fruit of light by making it a habit to make peace with everyone.
First, a relationship with God must be established.
As the saying goes, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” He grants the blessing of seeing God first. After allowing us to receive grace in this way, He then leads us to the stage of abundantly bearing the fruit of light, that is, the fruit of virtue.
Then, will you only do things that make you peace? That's not the case. It bears all the fruits of the light, but it is a step that God helps us to do better, especially the peacemakers.
He said, “Peace be with all men” (Romans 12:18). To maintain a peaceful relationship with everyone is to never form enemies, and to live faithfully at all times in reconciling those who are bound to become enemies.
However, even in this phase of peacemaking, when temptation winds and waves arise due to the devil's work, we endure well and go out, or we sometimes fall into shame after being tempted by some lustful temptation and under a little pressure. It's very clever that there are times when you're tempted or tested that you can't think of easily, and then you slip a little.
So, even in this process, God's will to continue to lead a penitential life is fulfilled. In doing so, He leads us to reach perfection and to continue to be sanctified.
The people of Israel overcame several crises that almost lost their land when they were invaded by the Gentiles during the period of personal rule. He sent judges each time to completely restore him. Just like that, let the devil infiltrate you.
However, it is almost difficult for ordinary people to notice whether they had been invaded by the devil or what kind of lust they had. It is a process of thoroughly repenting while feeling the smallest things very sensitively.
Even in the seventh stage of the Eightfold Path of Beatitude, that is, the peacemaking stage, one can suffer from disease, be tested because of discordant relationships with neighbors, and be tempted by lust. Because the roots of sinfulness and lust still remain in the flesh, we can be tested. You have to see people who can be tempted like that. You should never think that you have reached a stage where you can never commit a crime.
The Apostle Paul said, “Because the revelations were exceedingly great, so that I would not be overconfident, a thorn was given in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, so that I would not be overly sane” (2 Corinthians 12:7).
Even in this stage of peacemaking, it can be seen that God is guiding all circumstances and our hearts so that we can continue to live a penitential life in order to reach perfection, that is, to attain perfection.
In this peacemaking stage, you can always know God sensibly by the life of God that has entered your body, and you can taste the power of the hereafter that is manifested by that life.
In addition, it allows you to sensibly know at any time the rush of the water of life flowing through your forehead, leading you to always live a secret closet prayer to God.
However, there is a difference in the power displayed by the life of God. When you first enter the land of Canaan, the leader is Joshua. I can't experience it as strongly as I did back then. decreases a little. It is the same reason that the rulership of the judges was slightly smaller than that of Joshua. Because that is the symbolic expression of the power of the Holy Spirit working in our spirit.
There are differences in Joshua's reign, the judges' rulership, King Saul's rulership, and King David's rulership. In the same way, there is a difference in the power of the next life that the Holy Spirit works in us and reveals.
It's definitely growing there too. I was strongest when I was ruled by Joshua. It is almost the same as in the days of King David.
