It is faith that is essentially required of gospel workers. Whatever is done without faith cannot bring about a change.
Mother has said that great gospel workers have great faith, and that great faith can bring forth a great miracle. Father also said, "Communism and democracy will attract the world's attention, but when the work of finding the people of Zion arises throughout the world in the last days, it will surprise the whole world."
According to the prophecies, the world is now abuzz. As the movement of ten talents is gradually speeding up, we continuously hear the joyful news that many people around the world are streaming to Zion after seeing the glory of Heavenly Father and Mother. All our brothers and sisters throughout the world are diligently preaching the word of God. Even through TV or radio, people hear God's word; many of them personally visit the Church and receive the truth.
Let us preach the gospel to our hearts' content, so that the whole world?the entire universe?can even be shaken and astonished. God is performing such miraculous works because our brothers and sisters in Zion have believed in the prophecies and followed them.
Mk 9:23 『"‘If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."』
A man brought Jesus his son who was possessed by a spirit, and asked Him for help. However, since he came to Jesus without faith, he said, "If you can do anything, help us" (Mk 9:14-22), instead of pleading, "Lord, please heal my son." Jesus became grieved to hear him say that, and made him realize that "everything is possible for him who believes."
‘Will this really come to pass?' ‘Can the walls of Jericho collapse if we just march around the city seven times?' ‘Will the Red Sea be divided if the staff is merely stretched out over it?' ‘Can Jesus really turn the five barley loaves and two fish into enough food to feed five thousand people simply by praying?'
Those who look at everything with a doubtful mind cannot see or feel anything. However, everything is possible for those who believe and take action.
Our God is the Almighty who can do everything; is impossible with God. The Almighty God is carrying out the gospel work in these last days, and asks us to do the work, giving us the power to do it. God has not entrusted us with what we cannot do. So, if we believe that everything is possible for him who believes and puts it into action, we will surely obtain gracious results.
Do things with faith
Now the work of the gospel is being accomplished so quickly; something that once took a year to complete is now being achieved within a month, and things that took a month to finish is now being completed within just a week. As God said, "In its time I will do this swiftly" (Isa 60:22), Father and Mother give us faith, wisdom and power to preach the gospel, so that we can do everything through faith. As a result, people from all over the world, from every continent?Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, North America, and Oceania?are now being gathered into the arms of God our Mother.
Without faith it is impossible to be saved. So, Jesus grieved over those who did not have faith, and said, "Everything is possible for him who believes." The Bible describes everything done without faith as sin.
Ro 14:23 『But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.』
We should not have an unbelieving heart, ‘If you can, please help me,' ‘Please do it, if it is possible,' but should believe firmly that God is able to do it. When we do the gospel work with such firm faith, God will work the miracle of driving out demons and will also lead us to the world of eternal life, which is a greater miracle?the miracle of miracles. Without faith it is impossible to please God, but if we do things with faith, we can give glory to God.
Heb 11:6-7 『And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.』
Without faith no one can please God. Let's think about the days when Noah built the ark. Up until that time, he had never seen the whole world being judged and destroyed by water, but since it was the word of God, he believed that it would surely take place and prepared the ark. Even though it was not really easy to build such a huge ship in those days, Noah took action with faith. Today, the work of saving the whole world, which people have not even imagined, is being carried out more quickly day after day. God has granted us a precious mission this year, and is accelerating the movement of ten talents and the overseas mission as well.
Believing that this will surely be fulfilled, let us proclaim the good news about God to the whole world?to every region of the world where the gospel has not yet been preached. If we participate in the work of world evangelism with the faith that it is accomplished through the power of God, not with our own ability, God will be pleased with our faith and will grant us the blessing of ten talents.
