Our bodies are the home of our hearts. As a result, the owner of the body is our mind, but if the mind loses its balance, and loses its direction and struggles, a thief comes in. The Bible calls the devil a thief. The only thing thieves do is to steal, kill, and destroy, but if the owner cannot take control of himself, and wanders, he or she does something heinous that thieves enter the gap, steal, kill, and destroy. Therefore, if we do not take care of our minds well, we develop diseases of optimism and anxiety. No matter how great people are if they lose their balance and wander, they will be disappointed and anxious. We must not be disappointed or anxious in any way. How can we do that?

1. God must be the master of the heart
By giving our hearts to God, God must come as the master in his heart. Since we cannot overcome the concerns, worries, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, and despair of this world with our own power, if we have God in our hearts who overcome all the world and beat it well as the master, that heart with God can keep the body safe. We must take the Father of God as our father in our hearts and realize all the preparations that God has given us to rescue us through Jesus Christ. God did his best to legally restrain us through Jesus. God gave Jesus our sins, injustice, ugliness, curse, despair, and death, so that innocent Jesus carried them, tore them up, blooded them, and liquidated them all from the cross. Legally, the father has paved the way for us to be free from sin, free from tears, cure from disease, bless from curse, and eternal life from death. After that, he will call us and send the Holy Spirit to stand on the foundation that Jesus has achieved and bring us change.
The Holy Spirit comes as a spirit that operates and changes, and there is no foundation for history. The Father of God has built the foundation of the world for those of us who sinned through Jesus and deserve injustice, ugliness, and abandonment. After that, you send the Holy Spirit, so it is the Holy Spirit that operates and changes. The Holy Spirit is creating and transforming. Even at this time, the Holy Spirit is here today to bring creation and change in our lives. You come like a mineral water to history, and when we listen to the gospel of Jesus Christ and accept it in our hearts and build a foundation, the Holy Spirit will follow the words and history among us. We can confirm the love of God by relying on this Holy Spirit. The Lord called for sinners like us and cleared all our sins without merit through the service of the cross. The love of God that was changed by sending the Holy Spirit is eternal love. God's love is not that kind of love that loves one day and then leaves us the next day. It is the love of the Father God that holds and changes us forever.
In Rome 5:5:8, it says, "The fact that hope does not shame us is that God's love has been poured into our hearts because of the Holy Spirit who gave us. When we are still vulnerable, Christ died for those who are not pious. It is not easy for those who die for righteousness, and when we are still sinners, God has confirmed his love for us by dying for us." It is a great epic poem. We should not be afraid of God giving us this love. Therefore, we must make efforts to live a life that makes God happy according to God's will so that God and we can live together and God can live happily and joyfully in us.
Jesus came to this earth to suffer for us. Jesus came to settle our sins and injustice, ugliness and curses, failures and despair. Therefore, just as the Lord was crucified and killed for us, not for himself, we want to live a life resembling Christ. Our rudimentary life of faith is to be saved through the crucifixion of Jesus. However, if you are free from sin, forgiven from faults, cured from disease, freed from curses and poverty, gained hope, obtained life from death, and become a soulful, well-versed, and strong man in all things, you will now follow Christ and live a life of crucifixion for your neighbors. God wants to be such a man who serves, loves, serves, and shares the glory of Christ, and represents the glory of God for his neighbors. Therefore, God says in Ephesians 4:12, "This is to make the Saints whole to do the work of service and to build the body of Christ, so we all become one in believing in God's son and knowing that we will form a full man and reach the full size of Christ."

2. You must stand firm in your words
In order to live firmly without being influenced by the environment while we live in this world, we must stand firmly in the Word. Jesus is invisible, and the Holy Spirit is invisible. So where are the Father of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit? It is with the Word. The Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, and the Father are recorded in the Word.
Therefore, we must stand firmly in faith and resist with faith, urging us not to be tied to the yoke of a bell again. Therefore, the grace to resist is in the Word. We must keep these words in our minds and use these words to counter the environment, rather than just displaying them in decoration. Do not accept the coming hardships and crises as fate and fortune. After you know the words, you must resist anything that goes against them. When the temptation of sin comes, you must stand with words and confront the temptation of sin, when the illness comes, you must confront the disease, when the ghost comes, when business difficulties come, pray and believe in them. When business difficulties come and hardships come, you must confront the forces of death. He said to avoid you if you do so.
I don't know how good it is to memorize many of the Bible. Let's memorize Psalm 23 before going to bed, fall asleep, and wake up in the morning to memorize Psalm 23. If you memorize and believe these words, the Holy Spirit will record them in your mind. After saying these words, an incredible power in these words will capture our hearts. We believe in God, the shepherd in Psalm 23. Then let's memorize the words in John 1:2, "My dear, I pray for you to be well and strong in all things, as your soul is well." Our hearts often shake. We read these words when we are afraid and do not know how to live or what God's will is for us. My dear one, I have said that I pray for you to be well and strong in all things, as if your soul is well, so we must think of all things well and dream of all things well and believe in all things well. You must say strongly what will be well. You must not speak faintly. You must speak strongly. The devil also spoke strongly when trying to entice Adam and Hawaii. When I asked him to eat this fruit of good and evil after seeing it, he said, "I will die if he eats it," and the devil said strongly, "I will never die." "If you eat this fruit of good and evil, your eyes will be bright and you will become like God to know good and evil," he said strongly negative and disobedient. Therefore, we must also say strongly positive things. Read and memorize the words of God, and say strongly, "I am not lacking. Your goodness and kindness truly follow me. I become good in my soul, good in all things, and strong in all things."
We are victorious in this world through the Word. How good is the word of Isaiah 41:10 when there is fear in the heart? "Don't be afraid; don't be surprised that I am with you. I will be your God, and I will make you strong. I will help you with my righteous right hand. Those who were angry with you will be humiliated and cursed, and those who quarrel with you will become nothing, and will perish."
Because we meditate on and recite these words, when they enter our hearts, we gain courage and strength. Even when the whole heaven and earth are dark and lonely without anyone to rely on, the words come into our hearts with a bright light and say, "Don't be afraid. I will be your God. Don't be surprised. I will make you strong. I truly help you. I will hold you with my righteous right hand." They give us courage. Therefore, the greatest grace and gift you have given us are the words. God appears through the words, Jesus comes through the words, and the Holy Spirit history through the words. That's why it is a great blessing to memorize a lot of words and live in them. We also need to stand firm in the words and realize the grace of Jesus who restrained us. If you make sure that God is the master in the words, all anxiety and fear will be released and you will be able to stand firmly.

3. You have to control your mind
Now we have to control our own minds. No one else can control our minds. How can we control our minds? We have to control our thoughts to control our minds. We must not accept all kinds of negative thoughts such as, "I can't. I can't. I can't do it." Recently, many people come to me and say negative things. "Our Korea is hopeless. The politics is noisy and the ruling party and the opposition party are competing with each other, but they are biting and tearing each other, and the gap between the rich and the poor is getting worse, and business is not good," he complains. Then I listen for a long time and say, "That's good news." Because in the Bible, in Genesis 1:2, "The earth is confused and empty, and the dark is above the deep, and the spirit of God is above the water." When such an environment approaches Korea, God is particularly interested in the history of the Holy Spirit and gives new creation. Therefore, our churches should think that this is a good thing, and that they have a good chance to pray more, to give love with more faith and to strive for evangelism. You should not think negative. You should think positively.
Proverbs 4:23 say, "Protect your mind more than all that is worth keeping, and the source of life is from here." Life comes from thoughts. Positive thoughts lead to positive life, and negative thoughts lead to negative life. If you think, "I can't. I can't. I can't." If you think, "I can't. I can't," you create that life in your mind to create such fate and environment. Many people have negative prospects in their lives. So, it is bound to be a bad observatory. The devil comes after you because you like it and follows the negative outlook. Therefore, you should not expect negative expectations and expect good things to happen no matter what. "I feel good today. I will be healthy today. Today people will love me. Good things will happen today. Things will work out today. I will succeed today." If you expect such good things to happen, God will history again as you expected.
In Rome 8:28, "All we know, those who love God, and those who have been called according to his will, will join forces to achieve good," and we must live with the expectation that we will achieve good. Then we must not accept anxiety and fear when the next anxiety and fear come to our liking. We must confront them with faith. Anxiety and fear come when there is no faith. Anxiety and fear come when there is no faith. However, we believe in the Lord. We can win because we believe in the Lord. Therefore, you must always remember and recite the confession in Psalm 42:5, "My soul, why are you disappointed and how are you anxious in me? He will appear and still praise me through help when God is with you." He is with us, how can there be anxiety? He who is not afraid of the world. But those who love and fear God do not fear the world are not afraid of it. What do you have to fear when God is with you? "God is my refuge, my fortress, my God, he covers me with his collar and protects me under his wings." If you think, confess, look at God, appreciate God, and praise him, your anxiety and fear will disappear. If you have anxiety and fear in your mind, it will bring about terrible destruction. It is stealing, killing, and destroying. Therefore, when anxiety and fear approach, give it to God and sing a hymn aloud. Praise is a great force to remove anxiety and fear.
In the book Act 2, Stephen M. Pollan thinks that good things will happen as a result of anything. Instead of saying, "Oh, I'm dead. Oh, I'm doomed now," he says, "Good things will happen. If you believe in it, you will. So let's hope for the future. Then you have to confess that you can find the possibility in any situation and find the opportunity in a crisis."
Life is not determined by what is ahead of us, but by what attitude we take. Therefore, attitudes and attitudes are very important. We should control our negative expectations and always expect good things to happen. It's not the environment that makes us bad, it's our attitude toward it that makes us bad and good. "The pessimist finds difficulty in every opportunity, and the optimist finds opportunity in every difficulty," said Winston Churchill.
Therefore, we must first control our thoughts. It is said that good things can bring bad things together in the 好 of 魔. However, we must fill our hearts with the plus of words and think that where there is a multi-purpose 魔好, a devil, and many bad things happen, there will always be good things. The fact that bad things continue to happen is a sign of good things to happen. God is to prepare a feast before the enemy's eyes. When the enemy comes, so comes the feast. Therefore, when the enemy comes, we usually think that bad things have happened, but we have to believe that when the enemy comes, good things will come as a plus. That's what it is written in the Bible. Didn't the Lord give me a feast in the face of the enemy and put it on my head with oil to overflow the glass? Therefore, it is a good thing for the enemy to come, but not a bad thing. God sent the enemy beforehand to bless him.
If your mind loses balance and stumbles and collapses, your life becomes miserable. Is there anyone among us who loses balance and is now stumbling and collapsing? If left untouched, you will be in big trouble. You have to hold your mind. But how do you hold your mind? You have to hold your mind by singing a song of hope. Nikos Kazantzakis, a leading Greek writer who wrote "Greek: Zorba," once said, "You cannot change reality. Can't you change the way you see reality?" If you change the reality, you are telling people to look at reality in a good way. It means to see plus reality. No matter how hard and difficult reality in our lives is, we should not be disappointed or anxious and say hope.
"Finding Hope" by Emma Goldman is a poem. "Hopeless? Hopeless? Dreamless? Then you have to make it. You must make it. You must make it. It is so hopeless that even though there seems to be no hope and wish, you have to search and find it. But if there is no more, you have to make it. Because if you don't dream, it means death." If you don't dream, death comes. Death is what despair brings. Hope is what brings blessings. Therefore, if there is no hope, you must make it happen. If there is no hope, you must force it. Please build a foundation of your heart that claims dreams and hopes. We must hold on to our hearts by making hopes and wishes, even if forced to. Since God is with us, there is nothing to be afraid of. In prayer and words, looking at the God of love and hope with the fullness of the Holy Spirit, I pray in the name of the Lord that the saints may be heading toward tomorrow with gratitude and joy.

-Prayers-
God of love! Like a small ship in a storm, our lives always come with anxiety, fear, anxiety, and fear in the wind and waves of life. However, I want to live a plus life with Jesus Christ in my heart and the history of the Holy Spirit. Please rely on the Word and control your mind to help us abandon our anxious and disappointed hearts and live a winning life.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Aman!

How do you live right?
Life is like a flowing river. Therefore, we are living a life thrown into a river that flows, sometimes ferociously and sometimes quietly. We don't know where it's coming from and where it's going. It's a river-like life that simply goes by silently while
