The Devil’s Thoughts
(John 13:1-11)

God
is Justice.
He
sent His Word to fulfill His will on earth
as it was done in heaven (Mt 6:10).
God’s name is ‘Jesus’ (Heb 1:4, Phil 2:10-11).
Jesus’ name means absolute perfection
by heaven’s glory and power. It is perfect salvation from hades (Mt 1:21).
God’s wisdom, knowledge and might all
belong to Him who is heaven’s master. Heaven is filled with all these.
Similarly, Jesus came to the universe (hades) to fulfill
His name’s meaning on earth as in heaven (Mt 6:9).
The Word – this truth – is Immanuel (Mt 1:23).
This Word is called ‘Logos’ (Rev 19:13).
‘Logos’ refers to God’s unique and distinct attributes,
including His personality, wisdom, reason and life.
Therefore, Christ (Jn 20:31)
is the master of heaven (which is full of God’s glory).
Those who abide in His word belong to heaven (Jn 8:31).
He protects those who belong to heaven by the Holy Spirit.
Therefore, the Holy Spirit is called the Advocate (Jn 14:16-17).
〇 The Word became flesh and loved us
but the one who seized the authority of hades (the universe) – the devil – is envious
and speaks lies from his own resources, which are not the truth.
〇 The devil even deceives those the Lord Jesus loves
and inserts lies.
Those without the truth speak only lies.
〇 If the devil’s thoughts enter, you become spiritually corrupt
– and in your reason, intellect and emotions –
your spirit will be ruined without realizing, like ‘Covid-19’.
※ This is why we must be full of the Holy Spirit. This is the truth.
If we do not accept love of the truth and accept secular thoughts,
we become Jesus’ enemies and our spirits perish.
