1. An Age in Need of Healing
Doctors usually prescribe medication that controls the neurotransmitters released by the brain. By taking prescribed medication, symptoms may be relieved. However, in most cases, symptoms reappear if medication is not taken. Remedying symptoms and saving lives are fundamentally different accounts. Because people are spiritual beings, if their souls become diseased, then their hearts and minds will become weakened and inevitably break down. Anyone can revive their souls only when they meet God. This is the basis and start of healing.
2. The Movement to Save the Posterity
The only way for the soul to survive is by focusing on God. Because the Word is God, meditating on His Word and praying is meeting God face to face. That may seem simple, but most people are in a divided state and unable to focus their thoughts and hearts on God. When the heart, mind, and body have “Oneness” toward God, healing will absolutely occur. This is the only method to save the posterity.
Through deep breathing, you can connect your heart, mind, and body, and focus more on God. It won’t be completed all at once, but you must continue to challenge yourself to focus on breathing and prayer every day.
[Covenantal Prayer]
Dear God, this is an age when many people live with distorted thoughts and diseased hearts. Please give me Your strength to save those in the world who are struggling with mental problems. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
* What Will You Leave Behind?
“So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial forever.” Joshua 4:7
“Today” will never come again.
Leave the Word, grace, and emotions given by God as your daily masterpieces.
Whether it’s a writing, drawing, or talking to others, you can leave your mark in a variety of ways.
This is the life of raising a monument.
