Genesis Lecture 13 (Spiritual Being 2)
Bible passage: Genesis 1:1
“ In the beginning God created heavens and the earth”
Dear brothers and sisters in the Lord.
All saints from branch churches, and local sanctuaries. GCN viewers and all children of God who attend the worship online.
This is 13th Lecture on Genesis. Last time, I explained the general characteristics of angels, along with the organization of Angel's world. The total number of entire angels that God created is too numerous to count. The angels’ world is organized better than any other government or army on earth, and its order is precisely practiced. I told you that an archangel is equivalent to the minister of a department.
These archangels are arms and legs of God the Father who searches every field. Some of their names are particularly recorded in the Bible. They are none other than Gabriel and Micheal. However, these names are not their exact names in Heaven. They have different names that they are called in Heaven. "Gabriel," and "Michael" are the names that are translated into the languages of this earth. The name of an angel is unique according to its rank and role. In other words, you can figure out an angel's rank and duty just by knowing its name in Heavenly language, but you can’t in earth languages.
You are curious about the names of other archangels other than Gabriel and Michael, aren't you? I will introduce the names of the 3 important archangels. We don't need to know the names of other archangels. Of course, God will let us know their names if we pray, but we don't need to do it, do we? Now, what are the duties of the archangels Gabriel and Michael? In the monarchy era, Government officials were divided into civil and military ranks. Military servants were the ones who took care of military-related jobs and the other servants were civil. Likewise, Gabriel is in the class of civil services, and Michael is in military services.
To be more specific, Michael is the Military Chief General. The archangels Gabriel and Michael have played important roles in helping with God's human cultivation. The works of these two archangels can be found in many parts of the Bible. First of all, Gabriel has played the role of a messenger of God the Father. The messages that Gabriel delivered is important contents such as answers to great prayers, or revelations about the future. For example, in Luke 1:19 it says, "The angel answered and said to him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news."
He said He has sent by God. It was the scene where Gabriel was delivering good news to Zacharias the priest. Then, what was the good news that Gabriel delivered? It was the news that old Zacharias and his wife would have a son. And their son would be a special child, but he would be the one who would make a way prepared for the Lord." The Israelites knew through the prophecy of Malachi the Prophet that Elijah would come before the Messiah. They knew that the prophet who had the heart of Elijah would do the works of repentance. And so, they waited not only for the Messiah, but also for the prophet who would have the heart of Elijah. Now then, Gabriel said that the one who had the heart of Elijah would be born as the son of Zacharias the priest. Just as the angel Gabriel had foretold the birth of John the Baptist, who would prepare the way for our Lord Jesus It was a great happy news. When John the Baptist was in his mother's womb for 6 months, Archangel Gabriel appeared once again.
Luke 1:26 says, "the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth." Gabriel didn't go there by his will, but it says he was "sent from God." This time, Gabriel told the Virgin Mary that she would conceive Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. Archangel Gabriel also appeared before Daniel the prophet in the Old Testament. As in Daniel 9:21-23, Gabriel brought a response to Daniel while he was in prayer. It reads, "while I was still speaking in prayer, then the man Gabriel, whom I’d seen in the vision previously, came to me in my extreme weariness about the time of the evening offering. He gave me instruction and talked with me and said, "O Daniel, I’ve now come forth to give you insight with understanding.
At the beginning of your supplications the command was issued, and I’ve come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed; so give heed to the message and gain understanding of the vision." As Daniel began praying, God gave Gabriel instruction, and Gabriel went to Daniel to tell him right away. The answer that Daniel received was the revelation about 72 days at the end time. Likewise, when God the Father revealed great and mighty things, He did it through archangel Gabriel as well. Receiving revelations through an angel is clearly written in the Bible like this. Therefore, when someone says he receives revelation through an angel, you should not say it is wrong no matter what. Of course, the one who says he received revelation should never lie.
Lying in the name of God is not acceptable There are people or believers who do not fear God and lie. In particular, lying Christians say they hear the voice of God and show the work of the Holy Spirit. Let us keep in mind that lying in the name of God like this is bound to be greatly cursed. It is to dishonor God and sell out His name. There is great woe and curse on those who behave like this. You must always be careful not to do this and not misuse God’s name. Anyway, Gabriel is the archangel that receives important instruction from God and delivers it. However, un-like Gabriel, Archangel Michael is the Commanding General of the Military in Heaven.
Let’s think about it. Is the commander of the heavenly army only one Michael? Of course not. There are many commanders in Heaven. Soldiers with one or more stars are called generals. How many generals are there with two, three, or five stars? There are countless armies of heaven, and of course, there are many other commanders of the heavenly army besides Michael. With spiritual eyes, Michael wears a helmet on his head like an army general. And he is wearing a belt on his waist, and there are various weapons on the belt. And he can pull out necessary weapons from it. Weapons are needed in spiritual warfare too.
How can such many weapons be installed in the belt? It is possible in the spiritual realm. When you watch science fiction movies, there are scenes where large and small objects constantly come out of small bags. In the movie 007, the main character uses various weapons. Let me tell you about some of the activities of Archangel Michael in the Bible. Since the world of evil spirits was created, Michael has been conducting a battle against the evil spirits, and he destroys the forces of the darkness. Revelation 12:7-8 talks about the "war in heaven," which is the battle of the spiritual realm that will take place during the 7 Year Great Tribulation. It says, "And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon, the dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven."
Where will the war in heaven take place? It will be in the second heaven where evil spirits exist. Because Heavenly army has to drive out evil spirits. It says that the Archangel Michael and his angels are waging war with the dragons and their angels. In this war, the dragons and their supporters will be defeated and driven out to the earth from the sky. Michael also appears in Daniel Chapter 10. As Daniel began to pray to receive revelation about the end time, God sent Archangel Gabriel to give him the answer on the same day. However, Gabriel appeared to Daniel on the 21st day. And Gabriel explained the reason as written in Daniel 10:13-14.
Archangel Gabriel went straight to Daniel with the answer, but the Persian army blocked him for 20 days. The verse says Gabriel had been with the Persian army for 20 days, and Michael, one of the army commanders, came and helped. As it is said here, you can see that there are other military commanders besides Michael. It says one of them, Michael, came and helped me. Then he gave Daniel an answer, saying “I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the last days.” So, in the Book of Daniel, end-time prophecies, including the 7 years of tribulation, are recorded. Here, the Persian kingdom refers to the evil spirit forces that hold power over the air. Likewise, when Gabriel was disturbed by evil spirits, Michael came and helped him.
So, with Michael’s help, Gabriel was able to deliver the words of God’s revelation to Daniel. What if Daniel had been disappointed and stopped praying before it was the 21st day? God would not have sent Michael to help Gabriel, and Gabriel would have turned back from his way. However, Daniel believed God, and didn't give up until he received answer. The Daniel Prayer Meeting of this church was originated from this. We set 21 nights as one session. It will be a good opportunity for you to receive answers to your heart's desires. I hope that you will believe in God who gives answer and pray until the very end. In Mark 11:24, Jesus said, "Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you."
If you believe that you already received the answer and continue in prayer, God sends you a helper and leads you to the way of blessings. Giving up after praying for a day or two is evidence of little faith. Once you start praying, you pray until you receive an answer. But more importantly, do not give up your faith even if the answer and the result are different from what you thought. And you must show your faith by giving thanks and keeping praying. When God sees your keep going like this, God drives away the forces of the enemy devil and Satan on your way, and gives the answer to you. Therefore, I urge you to pray without ceasing, and never to be disheartened when answer is slow to come. Galatians 6:9 says, "Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary." As we do good deeds like this, we must wait for God’s response.
When you do evil, God doesn't respond at all What does it mean that Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary? If you pray with faith, you don’t grow weary. If you pray with faith, you don’t feel difficult no matter what is happening around you. Because you pray without faith, you say, “I pray, but there is no answer.” The bigger the problem you need answered the greater will be the interference of the enemy devil and Satan. Therefore, you should be all the more awakened and pray. I told you that there is an angel that receives the aroma of your prayer as you pray. For some, large angels receive the aroma of their prayers in a big censer, but for some others, small angels receive it in a small censer.
The difference can result from what kind of heart they pray with. Depending on how acceptable the heart of the one praying, the level of the angel that receives the aroma can vary. The scent of prayer is different depending on how sincerely and with faith and love you pray. Also, the scent of prayer is different depending on how free of evil you are and how much clean your heart is. If the aroma of prayer is thick, it should be received in a large bowl. If it is thin, it should be received in a small bowl. Therefore, I pray in the name of the Lord that you may give proper prayer that is acceptable by God during this year, and receive many answers.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ. I'm going to talk about the archangel that is in charge of construction. This archangel is managing the construction of the houses in Heaven. At this current moment, countless angels are diligently building houses for God's children who will enter Heaven. The material for the house in Heaven differs according to how much the owner of the house sowed and how he worked. The more you do and bring glory to the kingdom of God, the more heavenly rewards you will accumulate. Therefore, it is a blessing if you receive many missions and carry them out well. However, if you receive a lot of missions and cannot fulfill them, it will be of no benefit to you at all. As the Lord said in the Bible, when the person who received one talent failed to fulfill his mission, the master took it away and gave it not to the person who had four talents, but to the person who had ten talents. In this way, you see the mission being given to someone who can handle more. I fully understand the master.
As I led the church, I had no choice but to do the same. Even though the faithful worker already has many missions, I ends up asking him to do more. This is because workers who receive many missions are more faithful because their faith is enough to carry out more duties They don't really have time, but if they are given a mission, they will do it anyway. So, I understand why the left one talent was given to the person who has the most talents in the Bible. In addition, the gentler he is in tolerance of others, the greater his land becomes. Then, his house can be bigger and better, and thus more angels are needed to build such a house. God the Father and the Lord know very well how a soul will grow in the future, so they design and build their house accordingly. He knows what the future outcome of that soul will be and plans accordingly. And depending on his level of faithfulness on earth, his rewards will be fill in his house. No matter how loyal you were until yesterday and the rewards you accumulated, if you give up on your mission or complain today, those rewards will be reduced. No matter how hard you serve God and be loyal, if you do it while complaining or feeling uncomfortable, your loyalty will not be rewarded at all.
If you became an elder and the work is difficult and you want to go back to being a deacon, or if you want to go back to being an ordinary believer, What happens? A huge wall arises between God and you. You have already been anointed and sealed as an elder, but you yourself have abandoned it. Then, all the rewards you have accumulated as an elder will return to nothing. You cannot reject the mission that God has given you. No matter what, you have to do your best to handle it, and you have to do it with faith and love, and it will all be a reward, and if you do it again and again, you will be given the ability to do it. I have often seen cases where people who were lazy in carrying out their duties got sick or were left unprotected. For example, Moses was recognized by God as the one who is faithful in all God's house and more humble than anyone.
Therefore, the land allotted to Moses is enormous. Not only is his house big, but everything in it is also huge. Such a great number of angels work to build such a huge house. And the archangel himself that is in charge of building construction supervises and manages the angels. When houses for people who were greatly loved by God such as Moses is under construction, the archangel of construction also pays special attention. Dear brothers and sisters. Among archangels, there is an archangel that takes care of finance. This archangel has been busy on the earth and in Heaven since human cultivation began. For example, let's suppose you pray to receive an answer related to finances. Your prayer and its aroma will be piled up in heaven.
There is a proper amount of prayer that is set to receive the answer to a problem. The archangel that is in charge of finance and other angels check first how much your prayer has piled up. Moreover, since it is the spiritual law that you reap what you sow, they also see how much you sowed financially. They watch you to see how proper you are within the justice to receive financial blessing. If you pass the line of justice determined by God, the archangel in charge of finances will give you an answer either directly or through his angels. Say, you saved a million dollars in a bank, and withdraw it a year later. Then, the bank should give you not only the original amount, but also the interest. The same applies to spiritual saving. What you sow by faith is saved in the bank of Heaven. What you save in the bank of Heaven gives you great interest back. But what we accumulate in heaven is calculated with multiple times interest rate You once saw in Heaven, it will be overflows until it runs over.
And it will be 30 times, 60 times and 100 times interest rate will be added. I already explained about 30, 60, 100, times At least your accumulation in heaven will increases twice, which refers to overflowing until it runs over. Therefore, it means that the interest rate benefit is much greater if you accumulate it in heaven. Luke 6:38 says, “Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be given to you.” In rural areas, when putting rice or wheat in a sack, shaking it creates space to add a little more. Even when the sack is shaken one more, more space in it is created and you can add more rice or meal again. In the end, this is repeated so that nearly twice as much rice or wheat can be added. If you put rice or wheat into a sack while shaking it in this way, you can fill the sack with a considerable amount of rice or wheat.
I know this all too well because I grew up in a rural area. But what you accumulate in heaven will be reward of 30 times, 60 times and 100 times. I've experienced it all. Before founding the church, I received a 100-fold blessing. During my faith life, every time God gave me a blessing, I made a calculation to find His providence. I confirmed that God gave me 60 and 30 times more than what I planted. If I calculate it later, I found myself getting 100 times more. I have had many experiences like this As mentioned earlier, if you shake the grain and put it in a bag, it can contain an amount that is nearly twice the size of the bag. Therefore, giving it "pressed down, shaken together, and running over" means giving at least twice as much as what you have planted for the kingdom of God.
Moreover, as your faith grows, you may receive 3, 5, or 10 times more. As you come into the spirit, you may receive 30, and 60 times more than you sow, and if you come into the whole spirit, you may receive 100 times more. Therefore, if you are truly wise, you will not pile up your treasure on earth, but in the bank of Heaven. If you store treasures on earth, you may lose them or they may perish in ruin, but if you store them in heaven, they will not be attacked by moths, rust, or thieves, and you can ask for them and receive them from God exactly when you need them. Just as a bank has to give money when you ask for what you saved in that bank, God will give you what you have stored up in heaven when you ask for it. Sometimes banks go bankrupt and cannot provide money, but heaven lacks nothing, so if you ask for it when you need it, God will definitely give it to you.
Our Jesus also said in Matthew 6:19-21, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.” Things on this earth are not safe. Things sometimes go wrong, there are hardships and pain, if you get hurt or sick, the surgery fee is expensive, and unexpected traffic accidents can happen. So, the Bible says “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal.” The God Almighty guards, and the angels of heaven guard what you plant, so who can dare touch what is yours? Also, the Bible says where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
This is only possible with faith and love, You also cannot give what is in my heart to the Lord for the church without faith and love. When you submit a bill to the Bank of Heaven through prayer, the archangel in charge of finances has no choice but to pay the bill. He will send a low ranked angel to answer small ones, and send a leader of angels to answer big ones. Therefore, countless angels work for construction of the Grand sanctuary, one of prayer titles of our church. Along with the archangel that is in charge of finance, countless angels gather to accomplish this work. The archangel, along with other angels, goes to every corner of the world to prepare for the Grand Sanctuary. Once the construction actually begins, even more angels will be at work. We have prayed for the Grand Sanctuary construction for a long time, and sown with all our might. At the proper time, our prayers and filed up material will turn into the answer. Some will receive the measure pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
Others, 30, 60, or 100 times more. Likewise, Angels are working precisely according to the order that God set, and they are faithfully managing their duties. Doesn’t it take 21 days for God to answer the prayer for the angel Gabriel to come with it? why? This is because the evil spirits who hold the power of the air are blocking the archangel. The evil spirits prevent you from receiving answers. You should understand these things in the Bible spiritually. You all must know that my prayers are the same. Even if I prayed and God wants to give it to me right away, you cannot receive it if the enemy devil interferes with it according to justice.
How do you avoid being disturbed? you must live in the Word and in the light. This means that your prayers can be protected, the fragrance of your prayers can rise, and you are not interrupted. This means that the prayers that you pray while committing sins are bound to be interrupted. This means that you should pray with faith until the end, and thus break and crush the forces that hinder you. Your prayer must be sinless and flawless, and must be a prayer of faith and love in order for it to reach God without hindrance. Dear brothers and sisters. Now, let me introduce 3 archangels that are directly under God the Trinity. God created 3 special archangels that would serve and minister God in the closest proximity while sharing love together. I told you in the last lecture that angels fall into 2 categories that have either male or female form and characteristics. The archangels Gabriel and Michael have the images of a man. On the other hand, the 3 archangels were created in a female image.
Those who have spiritual eyes opened are amazed at the beauty of even ordinary angels. How much more beautiful are the archangels that serve God nearest to Him. God created these 3 archangels most beautiful among all the angels. They are by far the most beautiful of the beautiful angels. It is difficult to describe in the language of this world how beautiful they are. Their eyes are beautifully shining that are more beautiful than any jewels of the earth. Their faces and bodies are most perfect and smooth as if a famous sculptor had made them. Their skin is milky white and clean, and feels soft and silky.
They are decorated with beautiful jewels from their head to toe, it shows that the glory of God is fully surrounding them. And so, all other angels have given glory to God just by looking at these 3 archangels. The three archangels were created in the form of truly beautiful women, not only in appearance, but also in their actions, speech, mood, and facial expressions. Simply put, 3 archangels are the finest of the finest beauty that God the Father created. Even though these 3 are archangels, unlike other archangels, they were given a unique authority. And their roles are different from other ordinary archangels. Their main duty is not to administrate a given field like a minister of a department, but to server God the Trinity. They have another difference from other archangels.
When God created angels, God didn't give them freewill. Freewill is the will, with which you can decide what to do and what not do; it is the will that you can choose what you want with. When God created angels, He didn't give this freewill to them; He only made them only to obey given orders However, as an exception, God gave freewill to these 3 archangels. Just as He created man, when He created the 3 archangels, He gave them humanity and made them to have freewill in them. Therefore, these 3 archangels are not the beings that unconditionally obey the orders of God the Trinity. They can feel the love of God the Trinity.
They are the beings that serve God the Trinity from their heart to give joy to God the Trinity. I will continue to explain their names and their roles in the next lecture.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ. It is very important to understand the spiritual realm. The spiritual beings along with angels are very closely related with human cultivation. In addition, the story about angels and the spiritual realm is not a mystically created fiction; they truly exist. The place where we will go and live forever is also a spiritual realm. Only those who truly believe this spiritual realm can lead a proper believing life.
Therefore, I hope that you will believe with your heart in the spirit world that is revealed in this Genesis Lecture. So, I pray in the name of the Lord that you may become perfect every day as a true spirit child of God, who is spirit.
