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 the 8th Lecture on Genesis. Continuing from the last lecture, I'm going to tell you about the Seven Spirits, which is one of the divided entities of God the Father. I told you that the seven spirits are the heart of God, measuring people in view of the 7 fields. If they pass the measure by the seven spirits according to their measure of faith, answers are given to their prayers.
Dear brothers and sisters Those of you who have not received answers to your prayers, I hope you will listen carefully to today's message and understand why your prayers are not answered. I also said the standard to pass it is not the same for all, but different according to each individual's measure of faith. That's why the seven spirits measure their faith first, and the standard for the other 6 fields are set according to their own measure of faith. "Joy" is the 2nd attribute that the seven spirits measure. 'Joy' is one of the most significant evidence possessed by those who are saved. Now, what did the first measurement say? trust.
I explained it last week. Today is joy, joy is the representative evidence of those who have been saved. If you truly met God, and know there is judgment, Hell, and Heaven, and if you know you are saved and have become a citizen of the heavenly kingdom, don't you think you ought to have joy! Before you met God, you might have lived a life that was full of tears, sorrows, pain, worries, and death. You may have lived a life without joy. But after you were saved and became the children of God, you lived lives with hope for Heaven in the love and grace of God. Isn't it natural that you become full of joy? Some of you may say that you were happy even before you met God But I'd like to ask you whether the joy was true. How much joy was that?
It was probably just a short-lived joy You were delighted only when there was something to be joyful about.
