Introduction
Dear congregation, members who are attending the service through the satellite all over the country, members of branch churches, branch sanctuaries, Light and Salt mission, Restaurant Mission, members who are attending the service through the Internet all over the world, (children of the Sunday school)
Today, I will explain to you about the 4th prayer point, "Space" with the subtitle "Power of the Shephered."
The prayer point "Power of the Shepherd" has already been given 4 times since 2001.
But because the Father God let us know new level of power and our members have been praying for it, we could get into higher level of power every year.
In 2001, I asked you to pray for the power of the shepherd to show completely with the 4 levels of power and to pray for the original power of creation of the Father to be manifested.
In 2002, God gave us a new goal, "the perfection of the Most High Power of Creation." He told us that when the Most High Power of Creation is manifested without any hindrance, it is the perfection of it.
In other words, it means that the power has to reach 100% in both physical and spiritual dimension.
Next, in 2003, God let us know about the original voice of creation.
Today's scripture Psalm 68:33 says, "To him who rides the ancient skies above, who thunders with mighty voice."
The mighty voice of the Lord in this verse is the original voice of creation of the Father. This is the voice that God the Creator has in His nature. The Father God created heaven and earth and all things in the universe with this voice.
"Mighty voice" means it can resound through all spaces and shake everything with the power of God the Father. What, then, is the reason that God gave us this message about the power of the shepherd with the prayer point "Space"?
When I explained to you about heavens and even the highest heavens, I told you that there is a higher heaven than the 3rd heaven. There is this 4th heaven, and this prayer point is about this 4th heaven.
I bless in the name of the Lord that you will be able to possess the higher level space and give glory to the Father God.
Body
Dear congregation, when God the Father existed alone as light and chiming sound in the beginning, there was only one space.
There was no need to distinguish between spiritual space and physical space, and God the Father was embracing the one space. Then, how did God the Father embrace the wide space of universe?
He was embracing it with His heart. Namely, the space of the universe was in the heart of God the Father.
The space of the universe in the beginning is so wide that we cannot fathom or express it, and we will have to look around it for ever and ever when we get to heaven.
However, even that wide space was in the heart of God the Father.
Let me give you an example to better understand embracing the space in heart.
We can feel the difference between the space in our heart and the space in reality.
For example, you are sitting in this sanctuary to worship God. Now, imagine the place you used to live or your hometown. Then, that particular space is pictured in your heart, and you can think about its present sight. Now, your heart already went to that place.
Or when you miss somebody, if you imagine the times that you were with that person, your heart is already at that particular space.
Likewise, even in this physical world, the space you have in your heart and the real space are different from each other.
And God the Father can be anywhere just if He has something in his heart.
We call this particular characteristic of God that He is omnipresent.
That is why God the Father could have every corner of the universe in His heart and reign over it.
God the Father who was alone planned the human cultivation and divided the space into many to put His plan into action.
They were the 1st heaven, 2nd heaven, 3rd heaven, and the 4th heaven.
The 1st heaven is the physical world that is visible to people including the universe.
This is the 1st dimension in God's view.
But this concept about dimension is different from the concept as in the view of spirit, soul, and body.
The concept of dimensions in spirit, soul, and body says non living creatures belong to the non dimension, plants that have life but cannot move belong to the 1st dimension, creatures that have life and can move but do not have spirit belong to the 2nd dimension.
Human beings who have spirit belong to the 3rd dimension, and the spiritual realm as a whole belongs to the 4th dimension.
But now, the concept about dimension in God's viewpoint is introduced. From God's view, everything in physical world belongs to the 1st dimension.
The 2nd heaven where Garden of Eden and the space for evil spirits exist is the 2nd dimension, and the 3rd heaven, namely the kingdom of heaven where saved souls will dwell is the 3rd dimension.
Also, there is the 4th dimension, namely the 4th heaven, and it is the space where God existed alone in the beginning.
Supposing that this 4th heaven, namely the space of the 4th dimension, is a circle, the 1st heaven, namely the physical space is just like a dot within that circle.
That is why if one possesses the space of the 4th dimension, he can see all the characteristics of the physical space, which is like a dot.
Also, in the spaces of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dimension, there is flow of time, but in the space of the 4th dimension, there is no time limit because time does not flow in there.
Also, the heart and the space can be united, and as the heart wishes, things can be a solid, fluid, or gas at the same time; there is no limit of space there.
And what is the reason that God the Father did not give the prayer point of "spiritual space," but just "space"? This is because He wants us to possess not only spiritual space but also physical and spiritual space at the same time so that we can subdue and rule over it.
He wants us to sound the original voice going over the spaces, being on the flow of all spaces.
Then, we can lead countless souls to the way of salvation at this end of the time, and so many people will recover the lost image of God and change into God's true children.
Now, how can we possess both physical and spiritual space and go over all kinds of spaces, not having any limit of the space? It is very simple.
Because the higher level can rule over the lower levels, we just have to possess the space of the highest level.
Namely, we just have to possess the space of the 4th heaven, where God the Father existed alone originally.
Even in this physical space, because human beings in the 3rd dimension can rule over the non-dimension, 1st dimension, and 2nd dimension, we can control the beings in the lower level.
This principle is applied in the spiritual realm as well.
If we posses the space of the 4th dimension where God the Father originally existed alone, we can naturally rule over the lower levels.
We will not have any limit of the space, and whatever we have in our heart will be fulfilled.
However, there is one condition - the rule of love and justice that God made for the human cultivation. In other words, when we have God's love and justice completely in our heart, we can possess the space of the 4th dimension.
If we have love and justice completely in our heart like God, we can go over the spaces freely, understand each and every rule of spirit, and remake them efficiently.
We can understand everything in the physical world and have the eye to see through everything.
The reason why Jesus could see through what people were thinking was because He understood the love and justice of the Father completely and could apply it in His heart.
Because He possessed the space of the 4th dimension, He could read the minds and thoughts of the people who belonged to the 1st dimension.
Even the people who are in the physical space, after they accept Jesus Christ and are born again by the Holy Spirit, can be freed from the limit of the physical space to the extent that they cultivate their heart with spirit.
The people of flesh in this physical space of the 1st dimension are controlled by the limit of the space of this physical world and the flow of the time in this 1st dimension.
But we can possess spiritual space to the extent that we accomplish the heart of God the Father, namely His Word in our heart by believing in Jesus Christ.
We can see the prophets and apostles who communicated with God were different from the people of this physical dimension.
For example, when the prophet Jonah was throne into the sea, he was swollen by a big fish that God prepared, stayed in its stomach for 3 days, repented of his disobedience, and came out to the land.
Although Jonah did not accomplish the whole spirit, within God the Father's work, he could be on the flow of the 2nd dimension of the spiritual space.
This space of the 2nd dimension has less limit of space and time than the 1st dimension.
But if we accomplish our heart with the whole spirit, we can be on the space of the 3rd dimension, which has a lot weaker limit than the 2nd dimension.
The apostle Paul, who manifested countless works of God's power and received clear revelations from God, belong to this category.
Although his body was in the limited physical space, because he accomplished the heart with the whole sprit, he could perform the level of God's power allowed by God, namely the power of the 3rd dimension.
For example, extraordinary things happened through the handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched him, he did not get any hurt even after getting bitten by a poisonous snake, and he could clearly prophesy about future things.
This space of the 3rd dimension has little bit of limit of the time, but it can be stopped, lengthened, or shortened, so that great and amazing works of God's power that people of physical dimension cannot imagine can take place.
But even in this spiritual space of the 3rd dimension, there is limit of time and space because there is the flow of time.
But the space of the 4th dimension where the Father existed alone originally does not have the flow of time.
Therefore, there is no limit of time or space, and everything is controlled within the love and justice of the Father.
If we say the power of Jesus who possessed the space of the 4th dimension is 100, the power of the person who accomplished the whole spirit is only 50.
It was 1998 when we reached the 50. But since the beginning of this church, there have been so many things of the spiritual space. So many signs and wonders took place including the dead being revived and so many diseases being healed.
This was possible because when we showed the faith, God the Father guaranteed the rest.
If we say the power of the shepherd at the time of starting this church was 1, God the Father guaranteed the rest 99, so that amazing signs and wonders took place.
Since then, if the power of the shepherd grew up to 2 through trials, the portion that God had to guarantee decreased to 98. When the power of the shepherd grew up to 10, the portion of God became 90.
And in 1998, just before the trials of blessing, the power of the shepherd was 50 and the portion of the Father was 50.
To explain it with the concept of the dimension, we can say that we possessed up to the space of the 3rd dimension by that time. And now, God allowed us trials of blessing to lead us to higher level.
Namely, God allowed 3 times of trials to lead us to the space of the 4th dimension, the space that God the Father has in His origin.
We suffered from pains of being betrayed through the trials, but we still rejoiced and were thankful, and won the victory only with love and goodness.
On the humanity of God that wants to understand and believe with goodness, the divinity of God that can see through the evil in people's deep heart and distinguish it was added.
Before the trials, the gravity of humanity was greater, but through the trials, the gravity of divinity increased, and humanity and divinity was almost at the equilibrium.
This also means that the love and justice of God the Father is more completely accomplished in heart.
It was the process of stepping forward to the space of the 4th dimension.
As you can see, it is not an easy thing for a person with physical body to go into the space of the 4th dimension.
For example, astronauts get so much training to get accustomed to the different environment of the universe.
Also, how severe is the friction when the spacecraft goes out to the space in the universe from the space of the earth?
In the same way, since a person who is in physical body is trying to possess the space in the 4th dimension, I had such severe convulsions.
But since I passed even those times with faith and thankfulness, in 2000, the works of the Father became 40 and the power of the shepherd increased to 60.
That is why God the Father opened the way of overseas mission from the year 2000 and let us manifest the works of the power of creation.
At the same time, by teaching us about the origin of the Father God and the rules of love and justice, we could gain a lot of spiritual knowledge.
In the second half of the year 2003, the portion of God's guarantee became 10, and the power of the shepherd increased to 90.
When the rest 10 is completed, we can possess the space of the 4th dimension completely.
We just have to finish the remaining spiritual studies and have the rule of the love and justice of the Father God in our heart completely.
Once it is completed, the convulsions will completely disappear, and having the body in this physical space will have no meaning. It will look like the body is there but is not there, and it will look like it is not there but is there.
It will be possible because, although the physical body belongs to the space of the lower level, we possess the space of the higher level, and therefore we will be able to control over all the lower levels.
Therefore, if we possess the space of the 4th dimension, any physical space or spiritual space will not matter, and we will have no limit.
To that extent, we will be able to manifest unhindered works of God's power.
Conclusion
Dear congregation, today, I have very briefly explained to you about "space."
But in a near future, I will explain to you in more detail with the visible evidence.
Although I just explained the general contents, once I finish the spiritual studies and possess the space of the 4th dimension completely, such amazing works of God's power will be manifested without any limit of any space, being controlled only by the rule of the love and justice.
Can you imagine how great works of God's power will be manifested in this flow stressed on the spirit in 2004?
God's providence towards us Manmin will be accomplished without any hindrance, and many persons of spirit who come out as fruits will help the shepherd in accomplishing the world mission.
Also, the history of the human cultivation that will be wrapped up by us will be integrated into the building of the Grand Sanctuary, and God the Father will reminisce about all things of the human cultivation looking at the Grand Sanctuary.
Philippians 3:13-14 say, "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Dear members of Manmin!
Let us run towards the day when God the Father will forget all His sorrow and pain and rejoice looking at the works of human cultivation that will end up through us.
I bless in the name of the Lord that all our members will participate in the glory on that day by participating in this work as the fruit of spirit and with fervent prayer and passionate faithfulness! |
