250831 Before you ask anything of the Lord, return to God's basic will.

Many Christians pray to the Lord to resolve their suffering.

There is something more important than trying to get rid of pain quickly: removing the cause of the pain in the first place.

Even if we try to temporarily stop the pain through human methods without removing the root cause of the pain, more extreme pain will come.

All suffering is the result of disobeying the Lord's word.

When we repent and obey, the cause of all suffering is resolved, and the resulting illnesses and problems are automatically resolved.

When times are urgent and difficult, we fast and cry out to the Lord.

If we ignore the cause of our problems and only ask for healing and worldly solutions, the Lord will not answer such prayers.

The wall of sin that stands between us and the Lord must be swiftly broken down through prayer and obedience.

The Lord places His people in various difficulties and sufferings to force them to repent of their sins and obey His word.

When we repent of our sins and obey, the Holy Spirit comes, and the power of the Holy Spirit solves all our problems.

To enter heaven, we must repent and abandon our stubborn hearts and greed.

However, human will and ability alone cannot effectively resolve this problem.

We must repent of our sins and receive the help of the Holy Spirit to resolve it.

For someone who daily builds a wall of sin, praying to the Lord day and night for only blessings is an ineffective prayer.

When problems and suffering arise, the first thing to resolve is to thoroughly repent before the Lord of all the sins we have committed, knowingly and unknowingly.

And we must pray to the Lord for the faith to obey His word.

Many churches teach their members to receive only blessings and health, without teaching repentance and obedience.

Pastors who do not teach obedience and repentance are completely ignorant of the Bible.

The sermons of such pastors are not true. They are like trying to sew a garment with thread without a needle.

The needle must advance, and the thread attached to it must follow to mend the torn garment.

The Holy Spirit comes to those who repent, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, their hearts are transformed, their illnesses are healed, and their problems are resolved.

Praying only for worldly blessings and health without repenting of sin will not receive the Lord's answer; it is a foolish prayer.

However, there are many churches, pastors, and Christians in the world who pray like this.

These people are called charismatics. Their faith is not focused on the Word of God.

The Bible tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and God will add to us all the things we need.

There are many Christians who have no interest in the Word of God and are solely focused on receiving healing and solving worldly problems.

Charismatics may outwardly appear zealous for God, but their hearts are consumed by using God's power to gain worldly things.

Charismatics may perform some signs and miracles by relying on the power of Satan.

However, these are only temporary displays of signs to deceive people, ultimately leading to more serious problems and illnesses.

Those who fall into Satan's charismatic practices have no interest in the Word of God or obedience to it, and strive only to perform signs and miracles.

They strive to perform fake signs and miracles and to elevate themselves and become famous.

Such charismatic pastors and servants of the Lord are enemies of God, hindering His will.

Such people are running in the opposite direction of the goal of faith given by God.

We must understand God's purpose for humanity through the Bible.

All humans possess an evil nature of pride and selfishness.

The goal of faith is to transform the wicked and arrogant hearts of humans into humility and gentleness, so that they live in love and glorify God.

When people forgive, understand, and reconcile with one another, the place where such people gather becomes God's kingdom, where God's righteousness is established.

Obedience to God's word exalts and glorifies God.

Where God's kingdom is established, God dwells.

Christians who live in sin and do not repent dishonor God.

Christians who follow worldly desires seek to use God's power as their servants to satisfy their own desires.

They seek to use God's power to suit their own desires.

The Lord does not walk with such lawless and wicked Christians.

Those who say that simply confessing Jesus as Lord and attending church will lead to heaven are completely ignorant of God's will.

Christians caught up in worldly greed must quickly repent and return to the Lord.

Do not boast about holding high positions in the church. Being a pastor, elder, or deaconess does not guarantee entry into heaven.

Those who hold positions in the church must fulfill their duties well to enter heaven.

Those who receive positions in the church but fail to fulfill them will receive curses instead of blessings.

Jesus said, "From everyone who has been entrusted with much, much will be asked; from the one who has been entrusted with little, less will be asked."

Those who are given higher positions than others must humble themselves and serve others faithfully.

Those who become arrogant after receiving high positions in the church will perish, like king Saul.

The higher one's position in the church, the greater the obligation to serve others.

If someone with a high position in the church goes to hell, he will receive a more severe punishment than others.
