The Spirit of God embraces us in His bosom and we are in Him and worship God today. Now heaven is here so we believe that we can be changed. God wants to give us something good through the Holy Spirit and great change may come to us. Now I would like to share the grace of God under the title, ¡°Ever Follow That Which Is Good.¡±
All people live in the midst of survival competitions. As we live our lives in a society of fierce competitions, there are times when we get upset and face difficulties that we cannot handle. People who believe in God must follow the good no matter what kind of situations they face. If we are always joyful, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances, God will work amazing things for us. Our way to win should be quite different from that of the worldly people. In the fierce survival competitions in the ecological system, strong animals prey on weak animals. In the human world, those who have power and wealth also preside over and conquer those weak and poor people.

1 John 5:4 says, ¡°for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.¡±

However, we do not overcome the world through human power or worldly wisdom but only by faith in God. We should live with sense of victory in our hearts. ¡°I will be victorious. As God is with me, I will win!¡± With this firm awareness we must live.

Philippians 4:13 says, ¡°I can do everything through him who gives me strength.¡±

There is nothing we can¡¯t do if only the Lord gives us power and strength. Jesus is within us with His mighty power!

1 John 5:4 says, ¡°for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.¡±

If we have faith in our hearts, we will overcome the world. However, we must be joyful and delightful. Our thoughts should be joyful but also our emotion should be delightful, too.

Psalm 37:4 says, ¡°Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.¡±

Psalm 107:30 says, ¡°They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.¡±

Psalm 28:7 says, ¡°The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.¡±

We believers must think positively and be joyful. We can delight because of God. Prophet Habakkuk lived during the ages of darkness and despair. However, he delighted in God in that desperate situation.

Habakkuk 3:17-18 says, ¡°Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.¡±

Even though there wasn¡¯t any food everywhere, all they had was their faith in God. But the Bible said that it would be more than enough. As God who so loves us is with us, we can be joyful in any circumstances. We should be thankful in all circumstances.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, ¡°Be joyful always.¡±

It doesn¡¯t mean that we can choose to be joyful or not.
¡°Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.¡± We must be joyful always and pray continually! If we are unable to keep praying, the Lord¡¯s Prayer is the best prayer we can use. If we pray through the Lord¡¯s Prayer, there is everything we need for a day in it. And then give thanks in all circumstances.

Psalm 50:23 says, ¡°He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God."

Anyone who wants the salvation of God must keep giving thanks to Him. Thankfulness brings about amazing changes to us. It has a mighty power to change our lives. Zig Ziglar, a well-known master of self-improvement, said, ¡°Of all the attitudes we can acquire, surely the attitude of gratitude is the most important, and by far, the most life changing.¡± When we give thanks, our circumstances will be changed. When our circumstances are changed, we will be changed, too.

If you want to see something good happen in your life, you should not complain or murmur when you pass through the desert of suffering. Big or small glory will come to us only after hardships. No cross, no glory.

Philippians 2:6-8 says, ¡°Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!¡±

Jesus came to the earth in human likeness and suffered indescribable hardship. As He suffered these sufferings, He later received great joy representatively that a changed human being will experience before God. Jesus was born in human flesh. He did not enjoy any privilege of the Son of God. Jesus was born as a human and shared all emotions with humanity. Jesus lived like any humans while being joyful and delightful, and giving thanks. When He was crucified on the cross, He took all our lacks, all our joylessness, and all our ungrateful hearts and settled them all on the cross. Therefore, we must kneel down before the cross of Calvary; Jesus takes away all our wrongdoing and filth and then gives us the grace of the Holy Spirit He got through the cross. We must always go to the cross of Jesus and never forget that the grace of Jesus embraces us and His victory is given to us on behalf of us.

Hebrews 12:2 says, ¡°Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.¡±

No pain, no glory! However, many people try to gain only glory without any pain but they fail.

Therefore, Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, ¡°To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, ¡®My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.¡¯ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.¡±

We believers rely on God¡¯s power in our weakness to be strengthened in our lives. When we pass through sufferings we can face brilliant victories. If anyone asks who suffered the most in the Bible, you may answer that it will be Job. When Job suffered, he prayed and prayed again and again to God. However, no matter how much he kept praying, God didn¡¯t answer him. Then how depressed he would be! He outpoured his mind.

"But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him. When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.¡±(Job 23:8-9)

Job was in despair as he could not meet God even if he would go to the east or to the west. However, He did not lose hope, but confessed like this, ¡°But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.¡±(Job 23:10)

As we dress gold ore through fire to get pure gold, our life should pass through trials to become like gold. No cross, no glory. Therefore, to win in spiritual warfare, we must always use the fourth dimensional spirituality that prevails in spiritual warfare. Above all, we must think positively in order to dream of a new life.

Mark 9:23 says, " 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."

The fourth dimension is not a materialistic world, but a spiritual world. It is the Holy Spirit who presides over the fourth dimension. He is in control of the fourth dimension; if we work with the Holy Spirit, we must enter His invisible world. To be filled with the Holy Spirit means to see, think, dream, believe, and declare it; this is the life with the Holy Spirit. Please repeat after me, ¡°See, believe, and declare.¡± The Holy Spirit walks with those who see, believe, and declare. When you pray, the Holy Spirit holds our thoughts and changes our dreams and lets us speak the word of faith. Therefore, many of you think that the fullness of the Holy Spirit manifests through speaking in tongues, but it communicates with the Holy Spirit in secret, but you don¡¯t understand what you are talking in speaking in tongues. To cross over the physical world to enter the spiritual world to converse, we must think, see, believe, and speak; we can accomplish greatly in the world of faith.

Philippians 4:6-7 says, ¡°Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.¡±

Here, ¡°guard¡± is the military word which means that a soldier is on sentry duty to prevent the enemy from intruding. When worry and anxiety intrude our hearts, if we pray, the peace of mind from God will guard our hearts and minds. Then what kind of dream must we have? Our goal and dream must be very clear.

Philippians 2:13 says, ¡°for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.¡±

Here desire means our dream. The Holy Spirit gives us dream and if we pray with this dream, faith will come to us. This faith says, ¡°It will be done according to your faith!¡± When we accept whatever we can¡¯t do on our own through our thoughts and pray before God with dreams about it, our faith will gradually occupy our dreams and it will be done according to our faith.

Mark 11:22-24 says, "Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.¡¯¡±

Many Christians can¡¯t enjoy true living with God because they do not follow the fourth dimensional spirituality. When you study the Bible and live a faithful life in Christ, if you accept the word of God in your thoughts and dream through your renewed thoughts and your dream occupies your faith, a new miracle will happen to you. Anyway, we Christians must experience miracles of God physically and spiritually. To live with God should be our top priority. Unbelievers do not live with God. However, we should live with God in our daily lives. Therefore, when we live with God and meet Him in person, miracles will happen. We must meet Him in our thoughts, dream, faith, and mouth confession.

Numbers 14:28 says, ¡°So tell them, 'As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very things I heard you say.¡±

We must confess with our mouths. For it is with our hearts that we believe and it is with our mouths that we confess and our faith will manifest.

Psalm 21:1 says, ¡°You have granted him the desire of his heart and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah¡±

Proverbs 18:20 says, ¡°From the fruit of his mouth a man's stomach is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied.¡±
