Match the code to God's thinking.
Isaiah 55:6-9
Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous forsake their thoughts, and return to the LORD.
Then he will have mercy. Come to our God.
He will forgive widely, says the LORD, My thoughts are not your thoughts,
My ways are different from yours, as the heavens are higher than the earth
My ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts.
On Friday, I went to Whitedol Mountain Prayer Center with the saints.
First of all, I would like to thank God for giving me precious grace through the words of the meeting.
And with Deacon Kim Yong-ik, who came from far away Incheon and attended.
You came from Gwangju like dawn and cooperated in both mind and spirit.
I would also like to express my gratitude to Deacon Lee Young-hee.
Also, even though I couldn't attend, he always prayed for the church.
I would also like to thank Madam Esther, Kim Nam-kyun, and Sung-hee Sung.
If the word supplied through me in our church is the rice we eat at home every day
The words eaten at the prayer center can be said to be ‘delicacies’ eaten on special occasions.
Even if you have lost your appetite, if you try one meal out or delicacy,
You may be able to regain your lost taste.
Like this, sometimes through the words of famous pastors
I believe that eating delicacies is good for faith and health.
This time today, I align the code with God's thoughts. under the title
I will proclaim the word of God. Let's proclaim it all together.
I cry out to God every morning and evening and pray.
I pray because I know that only God can help me.
I pray because I know that apart from God there is nothing I can do.
Because my soul is thirsty and thirsty
It is impossible to endure without prayer.
Prayer is like drinking living water when you are spiritually thirsty.
When a thirsty and troubled heart cries out and prays
As something daunting bursts inside
It is as if a river of living water overflows.
Not only do I cry out and pray like this,
Go before the Word every day and have a quiet time with God.
Pray like this before reading the Word.
"God! At this time, I myself go out naked before God.
I come before God as I am
Speak to my soul. I want to hear.
You are the healer of my soul, heal my soul.
renew my soul”
After praying like that, I read the Bible chapter by chapter very slowly.
And I remember those words deeply in my heart.
Just like a cow re-evaluates the food it ate, she slowly meditates on the Word.
When I reflect on the Word in this way, the Word enters into my character, heart, and mind.
I experience it as it soaks in and moistens my soul.
At this time, my dry soul gains strength and experiences satisfaction.
Then, have a time of thanksgiving and prayer before God again.
It takes about 30 minutes to an hour to do this.
But this time is very precious to me.
When my soul is dry and weary in the bustle of the world
These times give me spiritual refreshment.
My soul will not be shaken.
Your thirsty soul will be saturated with the Word and you will experience spiritual satisfaction.
In order for our faith life to be healthy,
With the supply of living water through cries of prayer
We believe that we should eat the food of the soul through the Word on a regular basis every day.
Just as I get spiritual satisfaction and benefits through prayer and the Word
May you also experience spiritual benefits and satisfaction through prayer and the Word.
I bless you in the name of the Lord.
Please take a look at verse 7 of today's text.
“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous let his thoughts, and turn to the LORD.
Then he will have mercy. Come to our God.
He will forgive widely.”
God is a compassionate and forgiving God.
So whoever turns away from his thoughts and repents
He wants to forgive those who come before God.
But people do not believe in this God.
So, “If I come before God, will you forgive me?” I think.
“I have so many sins, will you accept me?” I think.
God is merciful and forgives
Because they do not have faith, they have a different mind from God.
Living with a different mind from God
This is our problem today.
Why do people think complicated
Do you know how many opinions you have?
Because they do not believe in God's Word.
If you do not believe in the Word, your thoughts will not be settled.
These thoughts and those thoughts just come in and the thoughts wander.
But if you believe in the word of God, your mind will rest.
Thinking becomes simple.
I don't want your life to be complicated.
Please look only to God. Please obey God.
We believe in turning a complicated life into a simple life.
In today's text, the word 'wicked man' appears.
In a way, we were all originally wicked.
As if in the world you are the master of your life
People who went their own way.
But at some point, they come to church and hear the word of God.
And ah! My thoughts are wrong My way is wrong
I have been living the wrong life.”
From then on, every time I heard the word, “God’s word is the truth.”
“The word of God is right.” and say 'Amen'.
‘Repentance’ means realizing that one’s thoughts and one’s ways are wrong.
It is turning to God.
And choosing a different path than before, a different way of thinking.
Do you know why you need to repent to truly believe in Jesus?
Because you cannot follow Jesus with your own thoughts and self-assertion.
Your thoughts and those of Jesus are always in conflict with each other.
It is because they struggle alone, eventually rejecting Jesus and leaving.
In Matthew 19
A rich young man comes out.
This young man usually keeps the word of God well.
He prided himself on believing in God.
But in your mind
There was always a feeling that something was lacking and that I wasn't happy.
One day, he came to Jesus and said what
Ask if you will have eternal life.
Then Jesus said, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell what you have.
Give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven
And come, follow me.”
Then this young man, because he had a lot of money,
Hearing these words, he went away with sorrow.
The young man could not give up the riches he had so cherished.
So, we run into Jesus, who told us to give our possessions for others.
If the young man had obeyed the words of Jesus, there would have been joy in him.
But this young man could not give up his wealth.
So, in the end, he became grieved and left Jesus.
The conflicts of faith we are experiencing
In the end, God’s thoughts
It's because my thoughts don't match with each other.
Many people are opposed to the Word of God.
We live by choosing our thoughts and paths.
believing in Jesus is
It means acknowledging and accepting the Lord as Lord of my life.
However, among those who believe
There are many people who do not acknowledge the Lord as Lord.
They say that tithing belongs to God, so you should tithe.
I think that the tithe is mine too.
Don't waste your tithe, give it to God
They say that if you do that, God will fill you with more.
I think within myself that if I give tithes to God, I am at a loss.
You say Sunday is the holy water year, but inside you
If you have work on a Sunday, I think you can leave.
These are the requirements of God that are the most basic of our religious life.
Thinking differently from God in these basic areas
I am living a life of faith, how can God
Could you show me the deeper spiritual world?
Is God making too many demands?
Or is our faith wrong?
When a person does not know the Word of God, it may be because they do not know it.
However, after knowing the Word, you must take responsibility for yourself.
Please read the Bible a lot to understand God's will.
When reading the Bible, my thoughts and God's thoughts collide
Please align the code of my thoughts with the thoughts of God.
God in your life
Do you want to grant miracles and blessings?
Do you want your prayers to be answered?
Match the code to God's thinking. Have a good relationship with God.
Let God be on your side. God's help will be with you.
