Title: Why We Should Believe in the Lord!
The reason we should believe in the Lord is not to believe in the Lord to make up for the shortcomings of our bodies. The shortcomings of our body can be solved on this earth if we put in a little effort.
For example, if I am living in poverty, if I do not be lazy and work diligently to solve poverty, one day I will be able to eat to some extent. Also, like studying, if you tie your head and wrestle with books, one day the blockages will be cleared and you can become a master of learning. There is nothing in this world that cannot be achieved if we do our best in each field with this principle.
But if we say that we believe in the Lord in order to have these things resolved, we are truly foolish. This is because the Lord who comes before us never comes to solve these human problems. No matter how high a position in this world a person achieves, he cannot achieve eternal life through it. Nevertheless, people believe that the purpose of believing in Jesus is to eat well and live well in this world. They all say they believe in Jesus for eternal life, but they are all just words, and in reality, the intention to ask the Lord to help them succeed in life is hidden. As a result, in the end, they donate to achieve their goals, become loyal to the church for their own purposes, and volunteer at an orphanage to achieve their goals.
If they really believe in the Lord for eternal life, then they must boldly give up all they have and trust and follow the Lord alone. If only a few clothes for those who will live forever and three meals a day would be enough for them, then why are they hoarding them in one barn? Also, why do those who will ever live forever covet high positions like the people of the world, and be anxious to get ahead? This means that they have no interest in eternal life, and they are conscious of their eyes and say that they believe in the Lord with their mouths, but they do not believe in the Lord at all in their hearts. So, they pretend to believe by calling out the name of the Lord even more loudly in public places where many people gather, but in reality they do not believe in the Lord as much as they call out the name of the Lord outwardly.
The Lord we believe in is a similar principle. Those who falsely believe in the Lord are always anxious, so in front of people, God is our Father and the Lord is my Lord, and wherever they go, they are pounding their cubes in order to hide their uneasy feelings. That is why, whenever no one sees them, they pursue the worldly things first rather than the heavenly things. If the Lord really is their master, then of course they will listen to the Lord and follow the heavenly things, even if no one tells them to. But they do not listen to the Lord and live according to their own thoughts because they live according to their master's thoughts.
The thought of a dead spirit in the heart of man never wants man to live forever. If human beings take off their bodies and gain eternal life, they must live in eternal punishment. That is why the dead spirit wants to live as long as possible in the mind of a human being in the flesh. Therefore, if humans are encouraged to rise higher and higher, when many people look up to him, he will also feel joy in him. That is why even ghosts feel vicarious satisfaction through human beings in the flesh. This is the existence of a dead spirit in person.
If the shamans don't do anything to soothe the ghosts, there are cases where the ghosts make the shaman's body ill or not easily. That's why the demons interfere with the shamans, and this is what happens. If even the demons who bring corruption do such deeds to humans, it is the Lord who gives eternal life! How upset and heartbroken must humans be when they don't listen to you and try to live their own life? Refusal to listen to the word of the Lord means that we will live by hearing the words of the dead spirit. At this time, how extreme will the Lord's wrath be? If we have listened to the explanations so far, from now on, we must boldly lay down ourselves and live by hearing the words of the Lord, who gives us eternal life, rather than listening to the words of dead spirits.
