Jesus Christ is the only treasure. There is no better treasure than Jesus. We are full of sinful skins. We are fragile vessels that get dust when we rob anyone. But the treasure of Jesus Christ is hidden in such a vessel. Therefore, God holds us, protects us, lifts us, raises us, responds, and loves us because the treasure in us is beautiful.

1. You won't get wrapped up even if you get caught in all directions
The Bible says, "It doesn't get wrapped up even if we are beaten in all directions." We endure it without breaking it, as if the vessel is about to be broken by being beaten in all directions. We are constantly being attacked by our enemies, such as sin and tear, disease and curse, failure and disappointment, and death. However, the reason we are not broken is that all these forces retreat before the blood of Jesus in us. Jesus personally suffered all kinds of pain on the cross for us. Isaiah 53:5 states, "He is stabbed because of our faults, and his wounds are because of our sins, so we enjoy peace and we are punished because he is whipped."
Everything is a competition in this world. From birth, we come into the battlefield called life and fight until we die. So Victor Hugo said, "What is your mission today? It's a struggle. What is your mission tomorrow? It's a struggle. What is your mission forever? It's death!" Like this, life is about dying in a fight. When you look at yourself in that fight, you will always be shattered and covered in blood, but things will be different if Jesus, who has already won, is in us. We need to know this. If we rely on him because he is with us who has already won, we can win every game.
In Corinthians 4:7, "We have this treasure in our bowls, so that we know that great power is with God and not with us." We must not rely on us because we have no power. We must always lie down and look at God, thank him, praise him, and follow him. In Matthew 28:18, 20th verse, "Jesus came forward and said, 'For you have given me all the power of heaven and earth, so go and baptize all the nations as disciples, in the name of father and son and the Holy Spirit, and let me teach you everything that I have commanded, and be with you until the end of the world." Since you have said that all the powers of heaven and earth are now with Jesus and with us until the end of the world, we cannot be discouraged and retreat because we have treasure.
John 4:4 says, "Children, you belonged to God, and you beat them, because those in you are greater than those in the world." We must always keep in mind that we are victorious because the LORD, who is greater than those in the world, is with us. We must banish from our hearts the sense of defeat, "I can't! I can't!" When the Israelites reached the Red Sea after being liberated from Egypt, the Red Sea blocked the road ahead, and the army of Egypt advanced behind them. Looking at the Red Sea, I am despair. Looking at the Red Sea, I am despair. Who should I look at in that situation? You must look at God because God has called. In Exodus 14:13, he writes, "Don't be afraid to say to the people, stand still, and see the salvation that Yahweh is doing for you today. You will never see the Egyptians you have seen today again, and you will fight for you." If we fight our way, it will be a nuisance to God. We just leave it to God and wait and see God fight for us.
Even today, God fights for us and rescues us with that ability. In other words, because salvation is given as a gift from God, through faith, we are saved from this sin, blessed, and blessed by God. Our sins, breakdowns, and disappointments, attacks from enemies do not disappear through human efforts. It is only the blood of Jesus in us that disappears. We do not fear or fight the enemy, but rather look at Jesus in us, praise and appreciate him, recognize him, and seek the help of his blood, and rescue us by showing our ability. We must always look at Jesus and confront him when hardships come, not confront him.
When we live in the world, sins like typhoons approach. God's wrath and judgment also deal with heavy rain. There are times when dry land passes through the wilderness where we can't walk because we are thirsty. Jesus is the only one who has suffered in advance for us in all this. There is no escape except the Lord Jesus. Even those who are great, great, and precious in the world are just bad tools and will be broken when attacked by a evil devil. Everyone is vulnerable to evil, so they are attacked by sin, attacked by injustice, attacked by futility and meaninglessness, attacked by disease, and attacked by curses and collapse in one moment. The only way we can win and win all this is to rely on Jesus, the treasure. No matter how fiercely our enemies try to destroy us, they will not collapse. Because there is a precious treasure in us. Therefore, I hope that we will always be those who look at him, rely on him, appreciate him, and praise him.
2. I am not disappointed even if I suffer from something frustrating
How many frustrating things are there in our lives? The despair of guilt, the despair of the futility of life, the fear of death, and the despair are all frustrating things that humans cannot handle. In Psalm 40:12, he writes, "Many disasters surround me and my sins attack me, so I cannot look up to it, and because sin is more than my hair, I am discouraged." You are living in a frustrating reality where you cannot know what difficult things will come tomorrow, just as you said you do not know what will happen tomorrow. We do not know what will happen today. Such frustrating things are always approaching us. However, we must know that we have the treasure of miracles that turn despair and frustration into wishes and blessings. The only way for frustrating things to change coolly is to rely on the precious Jesus. Jesus makes everything work together to do good. Because of this, no matter how frustrating things approach us, Jesus changes the frustrating things into cool and good things. Therefore, Psalm 91 verse 1 verse 6 states, "I say to Yahweh, 'He is my refuge, my fortress, my God, who I commission, that he will save you from the snares of bird hunters and from severe epidemics. He will cover you with his collar, and you will avoid under his wings. His integrity will be a shield and a shield for the fear that comes at night, an arrow flying in the day, an epidemic spreading in the dark, and a disaster that comes in the light." Give Jesus the precious things up to him. If you leave it to the Lord with prayer and prayer, you will not be discouraged from the frustration of the Lord, but it will be an opportunity to happen successfully.
However, no matter how much treasure we have in our hearts, if we keep our mouths shut, it will not be able to make history. Therefore, when we meet an enemy, we must open our mouth and let it shine. The treasure in our hearts appears through the confession of our lips. The devil history through the environment, and all difficult hardships come from the outside. You must not cower without saying it. Our treasure is hidden in us, but it appears through the confession of our lips. Our victory is about bringing about victory through the confession of our lips, not staying still. Therefore, when David left for Goliath, the commander of the army, he said nothing, and did not leave with his lips closed. David said, "You will come out as a spear and sword, and I will come out in the name of Yahweh, the army of Israel, whom you insult. God will hold you to my hand today, and I will cut your throat to make you the food of birds in the air and beasts of the earth," and rushed toward Goliath. How bold is this to say? He made a heartbreaking declaration. The treasure in David's heart came out through his lips and destroyed Goliath. I hope we don't become people today who just keep their lips closed and hide their treasure.
Satan discourages our hearts from despair, emptiness, and the fear of sin and death. However, we pray in the name of the Lord that Jesus's crucifixion has the power to turn despair and defeat into hope and blessing.
We must speak. We must say what we dream and believe in in in order to demonstrate our ability, and if we keep our mouth shut, nothing will change.
3. Even if you are persecuted, you will not be abandoned
The devil tries to isolate us, make us lonely, and bring us unhappiness. But the Bible says that even if we are persecuted and persecuted, we are not abandoned. Who can lower God's height? Therefore, if there is treasure, God does not abandon it, and God raises it. Psalm 23 verse 4 verse 5 states, "Even if I travel in the gloomy valley of death, the Lord will not be afraid of the sun: He is with me, and your cane and stick are not resting on me. My cup is overflowing because you have rewarded me and poured oil on my head in the face of my enemies." He writes in John 15:20, "Remember what I said to you that I am no bigger than the Lord of the Paper: When people persecuted me, you will persecute me, and I will keep my word, and I will keep your word." Therefore, persecution does not ruin us. We are not abandoned just because people abandon us. If God embraces us, even if people abandon us, we can advance and advance further without harm. If we are persecuted for Christ, God takes us pity on us and loves us more. Where there is treasure, the father and the Holy Spirit are together, so we can win enough.
According to Rome 8:35, "Who will cut us from the love of Christ? We will be killed and slaughtered for the LORD all day long, according to the records of suffering, suffering, persecution, famine, danger, or sword?" But I am certain that because of those who love us, we will win in all this. Death, life, angels, and crown princes, or any other creature, such as present, future, ability, high, deep, or other creature, cannot break us from the love of God in our Lord Christ Jesus." This is not an ordinary saying. There is no breaking us from the love of Jesus Christ, who loves us. He says that Jesus is our treasure, so we will prevail in any adversity. That is why we always pray in the name of the Lord to think of victory, glory, blessing, and glory in our hearts.
4. You won't fail even if you get knocked down
Crushing refers to the destruction of life and killing people. Even if our enemies destroy us in that way, we are not destroyed and not destroyed because the enemies cannot touch us. No matter how much you rush to destroy us, we do not fail because there is treasure. Even if the environment is destroyed, treasure will appear, so treasure builds the environment. Acts 2:23:24, "He has given the will of God and what he knew in advance. He nailed it by borrowing the hands of the lawless, but God freed him from the agony of death, and he could not have been tied to death." People crucified Jesus and buried him in the tomb, but God raised him from the tomb and made him a winner. The resurrected precious treasure lives in us, so no matter how hard it is, we will eventually be revived. Therefore, we have to endure it. If you rely on, appreciate, praise, and endure the treasure in this way, you will win in the end. In Corinthians 15:20-22, "But now Christ has risen again from the dead and has become the first fruit of the sleeper, and the resurrection of the dead is due to one man. Like everyone died in Adam, everyone will get a life in Christ." In this way, we will eventually survive no matter what comes closer, and our bodies will survive even if we die.
Missionary Lim Yeon-sim, who was sent from our church, died after 30 years of missionary work in Africa. But her death did not disappear, but she won the final victory. Because Bobae is in her. Because of the treasure, we got the final victory. God gives us the same victory. We already have the final victory. We already have the resurrection and life. We can shout, "Death, where is your victory? Where is there anything you shoot at death?" Because Jesus, who has already been resurrected, is in us, we will surely be resurrected with Christ. We have the ability and the power to get up 101 times even if we fall 100 times. Therefore, victory has already been given to us with Jesus.
Corinthians 4:10:11 says, "We always carry the death of Jesus on our bodies, so that the life of Jesus is also made visible in our bodies, and that the living always hands over to death for Jesus, so that the life of Jesus is also made visible in our bodies to die." Even when death comes to us, life is always attached to us, and that we are handed over to death is only a means for Jesus' life to appear. We are the ones who were caught by Jesus life. Therefore, please always confess with your lips that Jesus' life becomes my life, so that we are able to achieve life well, strong, and abundant in all things as if our souls are good. This treasure is hidden inside us. People cannot see it. However, the fact that this treasure shows power outside is through the confession of our lips. No matter how much you know, dream, and believe this treasure is in our hearts, if you close your lips, it cannot come out.
We win by confessing with our lips, "I do not quarrel with Jesus because he is with me. Even if sin and injustice, ugliness and curse, despair and death surround me, I will win sufficiently." And even if you are frustrated, you will surely win because the Lord combines the frustrated things to achieve benefits. You will eventually win if you confidently confess with your lips like this, "I am blessed." Also, even when I am lonely because the Lord is with me because I am persecuted. God is with me, so I am not abandoned. I hold God so that he will not be lonely. I will not fail even if I am crushed. It seems that my business is ruined, my family is ruined, and my life is ruined, but I will not fail," and that word will go out and win in the end. Our words are the great weapon God has given our lives, and they will be the means for us to win in this world. The Lord has given our lips the key to heaven. Therefore, from this time on, I bless you in your name that you may open your lips and use words to show your treasure and vats of ability. I believe that treasure and vats are among us. Then confess it with your lips. The treasure is the treasure that makes the soul prosper, the treasure that makes everything happen, and the treasure that makes it strong. Forgiveness, righteousness, holiness and fulfillment of the Holy Spirit, healing and health, Abraham's blessings and suffering, and eternal rest are among us. Tell us the treasure. Confess it with your lips, and you will prevail and prevail in the end.
-Prayers-
Our living father, God! I can't tell you how grateful I am for the treasure you have given us. The Lord hid this treasure in us because he died and was resurrected, and we admitted it with our mouths and showed it to help us overcome the devil, conquer the environment, and lead a life of victory.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ!
Aman!
