If we are cleansed by three

 I was walking into church with a gloomy look on my face. A Christian asked me what was wrong, and I replied, "My sins are heavy and many. I was troubled not by my past sins, but by my present sins.

She then asked me, "So you don't have two or three places where Jesus has cleansed you? I have two or three, but there are many more." 

Then she gave me these words.

She said, "You are proud.

And she said, "Our sins may be as many as our hair, but if we are cleansed by three, shouldn't we be thankful for only three?

For the first time in my life, I saw the light of what humility is and that I am not alone. I thank God for that.

Even if I die

 One day, a patient was admitted to the hospital. The name of the disease was cancer, metastasized in 6 places. Once we tried to open it up surgically, but it was too late and it closed up again. However... The patient was very cheerful. She said, "I really got to know the person of Jesus through cancer. I am truly grateful. And even in the hospital ward, she was saying, "I am thankful that I have cancer," "I am thankful that I have cancer," and other patients said, "Excuse me, can you please be quiet a little? Could you please be quiet for a moment?” In the end, she had to have another surgery. A local pastor was present and prayed with the doctor. After the prayer, the pastor asked the doctor, "Doctor, are you okay? The doctor answered, "No, I don't think so," and the pastor said, "I guess so. However, when this patient climbed up on the operating table, "Even if I die from this, I thank God. He said, "Even if I die from...

United Prayer

イメージ
 We all have times when we remember the faults of others and think, “I hate my ugly heart,” but our hearts don't listen to us. Some people suffer for the rest of their lives because of this. I received so much strength at the United Prayer yesterday. My heart was changed greatly before and after entering the prayer circle. Thank you Jesus for being with us. The second half of yesterday's meeting was a testimony meeting. I was the host and started by praying, “Heavenly Father, remind us of Jesus.” I I was amazed by the testimonies of Jesus' presence in every kind of problems, loneliness, children, and so on. Jesus is the one who hears prayers. We praise Him!

If two of you shall agree on earth

“ Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. ”　 Matthew 18-18 When I visited SDA Tachikawa Church in June, I gave my testimony with this scripture. In the past, when I was in a prayer meeting where two people prayed together, when the other person prayed, I did not pray with the other person's heart, but prayed for myself in my heart. However, United Prayer taught me to pray with others, and I started praying with my mother, who had almost forgotten her knowledge of the Bible, by name on the phone. Then a friend of my wife's unexpectedly contacted us and her daughter, for whom we had been praying, was baptized. We also found that other prayers were heard one after another. One lady who was listening to us immediately said with an enthusiastic look on her face, “Please pray for my family together in this place. So we prayed together. Yesterday, when I went to ...
