"Let us go over unto the other side of the lake" - Reading the Bible and Praying to the God are Critical

Reading the Bible and Praying to the God are Critical

Some people believe that there is the afterlife, but others do not.  If you do not believe existence of the other life.  You might go mad before you die.  So, to keep peace of your mind, you had better believe in the afterlife. 

Yet, if you do believe in the afterlife, your life and mind are not improved.  You must still stick to worldly wealth and your social status; thus you would think of wealth and worldly matters more than the God.

However, if you believe that there are only Heaven and the hells in the afterlife, you would think of Heaven more than worldly wealth and success.  Then, your life and mind must be improved.  So, it is very important to learn words of Christ Jesus who assured that there are Heaven and the hells.

But, if you believe in the afterlife and Heave and wish to go to Heaven after death in this world, there is still a problem.  The more you believe words of Christ Jesus, the more Satan attacks you.  Indeed, how Christ Jesus fought against Satan is the main theme of the Bibles.  Truly, fight against Satan should be the main theme of your life like Christ Jesus.

When you try to earn more money, keep your social status, and materially enjoy your life in this world, you will accept any necessary evil, which will lead you to the hells.  You will sell any part of your soul to Satan for a necessary amount to get a help from Satan.  Otherwise, Satan will send evil spirits to you to afflict and harm you.  In this phase of your life and faith, you will not be able to have an ordinary life.  Without money and social status, you will have to fight against Satan like an innocent homeless man fighting against bad police. 

However, this fight must be more effective than any spiritual or religious training for understanding words of Christ Jesus, since Christ Jesus also fought against Satan to follow the teaching of the God.           

So, my advice for you to enhance your mind and life is to fight against Satan, abandoning wealth and high status as well as material happiness.  The Gospels read that a rich young man left Christ Jesus who was telling him to give his money to poor men.  But a poor young man should follow the words of Christ Jesus more obediently and simply to be poorer so that he will be accepted in Heaven after his death in this world.

Anyway, we have to follow Christ Jesus or Satan.  And, if you decided to follow Christ Jesus, you have to remember that most of your neighbors have already decided to follow Satan, trying to get money as much as possible.

That is why reading the Bible and praying to the God, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Mother are so critical.

Luke 8, King James Version
20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
