How to Invoke God's Power

A Japanese medical doctor, named Nobuo Shioya, who died at his age of 105 in 2008 had found that use of his imaging and thinking power was more useful than his practicing medication with his super natural power.

There have been some people who invented their own unique ways for keeping and promoting health in Japan, but most of them could not live long over 100 years of their ages.  In this context, Shioya was a trustworthy physician.    

Uniqueness of Shioya's method consists in using the mind power while deeply breathing.  He recommended to think of taking infinite power of the universe into one's body while deeply and fully taking air or oxygen.  And, at the same time, one should also wish that any damaged parts of one's body have been cured.  In addition, he encouraged people to pray simultaneously for peace in the world.  Shioya wanted to bring peace in the world as well as realize health in the human body.

His idea should be respected as he, himself, lived for 105 years practicing his own method named "Seishin Chosoku Ho (the method of controlling breath with the right mind)."  (https://www.naturalscience.org/news/2020/03/the-healing-power-of-breath/)

His method shows importance of oxygen to human cells, especially brain cells. The brain accounts for only 2% of the human-body weight, but consumes 20% of energy in the body and 30 to 50% of oxygen taken through breathing.  Indeed, the importance of oxygen has been proved in the corona-virus pandemic.    

However, more importantly, the mind power with imaging and thinking of using the infinite power in the universe while breathing is the key to health.  Even the God created this whole universe with His psychic power without any machine or tools.  And this universe was built from the energy in the spirit world.  So, some spiritual energy should still remain in this universe.  Therefore, trying to use the spiritual energy with psychic power or mind power of men is reasonable.

Yet, it is said that the duration of life for human cells in nature is about 120 years.  I hope that Shioya could have lived for 120 years.

Shioya's method is to use the spiritual energy remaining in the universe after its creation by the God.  But, I think that we can directly use the spiritual energy in the spirit world through our prayers to the God.  Using the pure energy in the spirit world should be more effective than using remaining spiritual energy in this universe.  

But for this purpose, we have to believe that our prayers can reach Heaven and can be heard by the God.  Moreover, we have to believe that the God would allow the energy in the spirit world that can surpass natural laws in this universe to be used for good purposes such as keeping health.  Furthermore, we have to believe that there is the spirit world in addition to this material world where we actually live.  Indeed, Christ Jesus used this spirit-world energy to perform many miracles as written in the Gospels.

Truly, followers of Christ Jesus are those who believe in the afterlife or the spirit world.  They should believe that the spirit-world power can supersede physical power in this world.  Above all, they must believe that they can use the spirit-world energy and force to apply them to various matters in the human world such as health.  Indeed, without miracles, it must be hard for Christianity to prevail in these 2,000 years.  In this context, any body who has the greatest power to perform miracles should be the Pope or a priest in a church.  There are some Buddhist monks and shinto priests who performed miracles in the past and are respected by the Japanese people even today.  

Although Nobuo Shioya was not a Christian, he had faith in deities in the Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism.  He actually communicated with a great spirit in seances or spiritual communications.  Before inventing the method of controlling breath with the right mind, Shioya had used his hand to emit some energy to the affected areas of patients.  But, he found that his new method was more effective through decades of his occupational life as a physician in town of Tokyo after graduating from the University of Tokyo.  Shioya is said to have been once invited to the Imperial Family to cure the then Empress Nagako who died aged 97, the wife of Emperor Hirohito (1901-1989).   

Anyway, although our human world is under influences of Satan, devils, etc., the power of God can reach this whole universe and our human world.  We had better try to directly connect to the God through our prayers or mind power.

16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

How to Live and Die Properly even in Japan

Once in Japan, a grandmother, at the age of more than 90 years, of an ordinary family had been long hospitalized although her conditions got more deteriorated, so that her grand-daughter decided to take her grandmother to her home to have her grandmother have peace time till her death.  Then a daughter, namely the mother of the grand-daughter, moved in her daughter's home to take care her mother.

The grandmother suddenly started to show stable conditions, painting pictures, writing sentences, watching the TV in her chair, etc.  As she had been the wife of a Christian priest, she even played piano for her daughter singing hymns.  She also regularly prayed for her daughter and grand-daughter's family.  She said that it was an only job for her to be able to do in this situation.  

She also read a newspaper everyday, commenting on tragic articles such as natural disasters and wars as well as their victims, as if she had been a priest herself.  She showed a good example as a good Christian to her daughter, grand-daughter, and grand-daughter's family.  She preened herself every morning, although she was old, frail, and sick.

But one morning, at breakfast the grandmother disgorged water from her mouth.  So, a medical doctor was called in.  It was advised to take her to a hospital.  An ambulance was called.  She did not preen herself that morning for the first time in her life.  

While waiting for the ambulance, her grand-daughter's children sang hymns with their great-grandmother slightly singing the hymns together.  And when the ambulance arrived, she shaped up and delivered a short farewell speech with gratitude to all surrounding her.  But, when she got in the ambulance, she suddenly collapsed and died.

Her daughter recalled that her mother woke up every morning, saying that she came back from the death again.  And, her mother had lived a life of honorable poverty as the wife of a priest.  But, her mother died properly with her loving family members.  She thought that it was a good Christian life and death. 

This is one report among more than hundreds sent to a magazine company asking readers to send stories of death of their family members.  And it is a rare one, since Christians are rare in Japan.                 

Indeed, for followers to Christ Jesus to live is to pray for others.  And to die is to die with hymns being sung around.  So, many angels must have sung hymns around Christ Jesus dying on the cross.  Satan and evil spirits must have been dispersed with these hymns being sung in the spirit world.  Good defeats evil with prayers and hymns at last.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

Use your Prayers and Psychic Power for Peace 

If you have the psychic ability to bend a spoon with only psychic power or without hands, tools, or any other physical measures, you had better use it for peace in the world.  

You may be able to even stop Israeli troops from invading Gaza with your psychic power.

But Hamas used 5,000 rockets to attack Israel.  Should not Israeli troops attack Gaza in return?  No, they should not, according to the Gospels that read "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also (Matthew 5)."

Of course, Israel will not follow this teaching of Christ Jesus as the U.S. did not when it was attacked by the mad Arab extremists on September 11, 2001.  But, we have to follow the teaching of Christ Jesus.

What we should do is to ask Christ Jesus to send Heavenly troops to Gaza so that Hamas will no more attack Israel.  Or we should use our psychic power given by the God to realize peace in Gaza.  We have to pray to the God so that peace will be realized between Israel and Hamas.  And, no matter wherever you are in the world, your prayers and psychic power should work.  

When someone takes a sock at you, he has an evil spirit inside him.  If you killed him, the evil spirit would not die.  So, the problem remains in the spirit world.  And, you will be held responsible in the spirit world after your death in this world.  If you are not afraid of the one who has given you a blow, you should be afraid of the God who sent Christ Jesus to this world.  If you killed someone who has given you a cuff, the God and Christ Jesus should be displeased with you.     

So, Israel should not invade Gaza as retaliation.

However, Christ Jesus did not forbid using psychic power.  We might be allowed to use psychic power while allowing the attacker to attack on our cheeks.  If the God allows it, we might be able to knock down the attacker with our psychic power.  And physical damages caused by our psychic power should be smaller than in using physical measures.  Peace should come more easily without using physical weapons.

So, all the people in the world with psychic power should use their psychic power to stop Israeli troops from invading Gaza.  It is because there are more than 1,000 helpless children, women, etc. in Gaza.  Those Israelis killed by Hamas would be accepted in Heaven by the God.  But Israeli soldiers and Hamas killing one another and civilians should be condemned in the spirit world after their death in this world.  So, preventing the war in Gaza is good for both Israeli soldiers and Hamas.

But, as all the mankind, not only Iranians and Russians, are responsible to the current situations in the world, we should pray to the God, asking forgiveness to the God.  It is not the simple matter between Jewish people and Arabs or Muslims.  If the God abandons the mankind due to wars caused by themselves, the human civilization will face a risk of collapse.  We will suffer great tragedies without help from the God and Christ Jesus.

So, Israeli troops should be stopped from invading Gaza.  Of course, Russian troops should leave Ukraine.  Chinese troops should not invade Taiwan.  Then, the God and Christ Jesus would not be angry.  The Holy Mother would feel relieved.  

Indeed, if you have the psychic ability to stop Israeli troops from Invading Gaza, you should use it.  Then, the God and Christ Jesus would be more rejoiced than in your using the ability to bend a spoon, cure the disease, drive out Satan from your friends, etc.

Truly, the fate of the mankind is more important than your right cheek or Israel and Gaza.  We should not make the God and Christ Jesus angry by neglecting their teachings.  Yet, we might be allowed to use our psychic power to protect our left cheeks.

17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

"And heal the sick that are therein" - Use Spiritual Energy to Prevent WWIII and Abnormal Weather

Use Spiritual Energy to Prevent WWIII and  Abnormal Weather

The Ukraine War will continue till 2025.  WWIII will start in the late 2020s.  But, what is worse, global cooling will start around 2030 with the global temperature decreasing drastically.  Although WWIII will end in 2030s, great natural disasters will occur through 2030s with global cooling.  The human material civilization will face a decisive crisis in the 21st century.  This is my feeling in reference to the warning given by the Holy Mother.  

Indeed, what is impressive is that the Holy Mother especially mentioned about Russia.  She did not give a warning to Nazis before WWII but delivered a warning about Russia in her apparitions in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917.  Nazis killed about six million Jewish people, etc. in WWII, but Russian communists killed about 10 million Russians before and through WWII.  And Nazis was destroyed in WWII, but Russian communists survived WWII.

The Holly Mother told Lucia, one of the three children to whom She made appearance, to hide her last warning until 1960 when Kennedy was elected as the U.S. president.  So, when Kennedy became U.S. President, he did not know the third warning in Fatima.  But, when he faced the Cuban crisis where nuclear warfare might happen between the U.S. and the Soviet Union over missiles in Cuba, the third warning of Fatima must have been revealed, in my speculation, to Kennedy by the Vatican, so that he avoided invasion into Cuba.  But, it led to the assassination of Kennedy by opponents in the U.S.  In other word, at the time, WWIII could be avoided by Kennedy's decision in 1962, although he was assassinated in Dallas by those who wanted to get back their interests in Cuba.

The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, but elite people in Russia survived one of whom is Putin.  And, the Holy Mary has continued to appear in Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc.  Indeed, the Ukraine War occurred in 2022.  Russia is still dangerous with dangerous ambition to rule Europe, aiming at WWIII.  And, other non-Christian totalitarian nations such as China, North Korea, Iran, etc. might join Russia in WWIII. 

However, as the global material civilization based on Christianity is now so contaminated and debased, the movement to stop WWIII is not so strong, since industries in the world would find a chance to increase their profits in wars.  Russia also seeking material success through its occupation of prosperous Europe will never abandon its desire.  So, WWIII would be triggered by Russia after the Ukraine War.  

But, what is worse, another tragedy would happen in the earth with decrease in energy delivered by the sun to the earth.  This global cooling would start around 2030.  Not only the decreasing energy from the sun but also increased CO2 due to material civilization might trigger global cooling, since CO2 in the high altitude can prevent the energy from the sun from reaching the surface of the earth.  And with global warming, the air in the earth is undergoing more dynamic convection with CO2 moving into higher altitude.    

So, as the Holy Mother predicted, human desire would lead to WWIII and abnormal weather in the 21st century.  We have to change to spiritual civilization.  Not with money and physical energy but with spiritual energy we have to solve problems.   　　    

Finally, the key to realizing peace and natural conservation is use of spiritual energy coming from Heaven in the spirit world.

"For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother" - Gain the Whole World, and Lose His Own Soul

Gain the Whole World, and Lose His Own Soul

The teaching of Christ Jesus where His thoughts were clearly expressed is as follows:

34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.  (Mark 8)

The core of these words is "what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"  Indeed, today everybody sells some parts of his/her soul to Satan so as to get any money and accumulate material wealth.  This is the decisive source and cause for problems in the human world.

But desire for material happiness is so strong that everybody naturally wants to get it even by selling its soul to Satan.  Conversely Satan makes everybody wants material happiness or life of billionaire so as to sell any part of its soul to Satan who teaches it how to use crafts or tricks to get profits.  And Satan teaches people to forget teachings of the God and neglect poor neighbors so as to get money and accumulate wealth.  On this Satan's teaching, lives of most people are built.   

So, Christ Jesus taught people to abandon this world and material happiness but to keep one's soul.  And then, one will be accepted in Heaven after its death in this world. 

So, it is whether you take happiness in Heaven after death in this world or material happiness in this world.  If one takes the latter, he shall be rejected in Heaven so as to go to and live in the hells to be ruled by Satan.  

In other word, it is whether or not you believe in the afterlife or the spirit world where Heaven and the hells exist.  But human science has not yet assured that there is the afterlife or the spirit world.  And, human science has not revealed the conditions for being accepted in Heaven if the afterlife and Heaven existed.  Rather, it seems that Satan teaches people that one's being rich in this world will not prevent it from being also happy in the afterlife.  So, Satan tells people that they can be materially happy in this world and also in the afterlife, so that they should sell any part of their souls to Satan to be materially happy in this world while living in this world.  And, this Satan's teaching seems to be accepted by most of people, so that everybody is seeking money even by selling their souls to Satan.

So, if you are brainwashed by Satan, you will still seek money and continue to accumulate wealth if you find that there is the afterlife of the spirit world.      

Yet, Christ Jesus taught that if we got even this world by selling our souls to Satan, we would be rejected by Heaven.  Indeed, those who sold their souls to Satan cannot be accepted in Heaven.     

So, if one knows that there is the afterlife, it is useless unless he accepts the teaching of Christ Jesus about the conditions for being accepted in Heaven.  But, this truth cannot be scientifically proved.  Indeed, faith is to believe something that science cannot prove.

Yet, although science cannot prove whether the words of Christ Jesus are correct, men can judge and accept them instinctively.  Those who love evil will accept Satan's teaching but others who love good will accept the teaching of Christ Jesus.  And, scientifically it cannot be judged whether Satan's teaching is correct or the teaching of Christ Jesus is.  It depends on whether one loves evil or good, or specifically Satan or the God, or otherwise hatred, madness, and wealth or love, rationale, and poverty.

Through poverty in this world realized by our rejecting to sell our souls to Satan, we can see truth since we keep our souls.  And following the truth and love, we can reach Heaven.

But how can we live without money in this world?  So, it is faith to believe that the God will save and help us if we do not have money in this world.  And, understanding that there are the afterlife, Heaven, and the hells should support this faith.  But, we have to also understand other teaching of Christ Jesus that rich men cannot be accepted in Heave.  So, what a great blessing to poor people the teaching of Christ Jesus is!

"Go not into the way of the Gentiles" - The Holy Mother Appeared also in Akita, Japan

 

Around Tokyo

The Holy Mother Appeared also in Akita, Japan

The Holy Mary has given warnings abut coming tragedies of the mankind since her apparitions in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917.  In Akita in Japan She also appeared.

Our Lady of Akita (Japanese: 秋田の聖母マリア) is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with the Marian apparitions reported in 1973 by Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa in the remote area of Yuzawadai, an outskirt of Akita, Japan. The messages emphasize prayer (especially recitation of the Holy Rosary) and penance in combination with cryptic prophecies warning of sacerdotal persecution and heresy within the Catholic Church. A wooden statue representing the apparitions is venerated by the Japanese faithful and other Catholics. In December of 1973, a Japanese television station videotaped tears coming from the statue's eyes. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Akita)

It is said that the wooden statue of the Holy Mary in the convent in Akita shed tears 101 times from 1975 to 1981.  Even in 2019 Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa whose hearing impairments was cured by a Marian apparition there got a message from an angel who recommended more prayers.  And, Sasagawa felt that it was close to time.

And, in 2019 the Pope Francis visited Japan. In 2020, the corona pandemic started from China,  In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine.  In 2023, abnormal weather has been intensified with abnormally hot summer.  

The Vatican officially authorized the Marian Apparition in Akita. But, it is well known that the Holy Mary also appeared in Garabandal, Spain, Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc.  However, it is impressive that Marian apparitions happened in Japan where Christians are a minority (only 1% of the Japanese are official Christians). 

Some people might think that if it was so grave and imminent, Christ Jesus Himself but not the Holy Mary should appear and give warnings to the mankind.  Or, they might think that such miracles are meaningless as any miracles can happen at any time in this world.

It was three years before John-Paul II became the Pope that Sasagawa first saw a Marian apparition in Akita.　And, in 1981 when John-Paul II was shot and wounded, the Holy Mary started to appear in Medjugorje.  Further in 2005, when John-Paul II died, Lucia, the last surviving girl of the miracle of Fatima, died in the same year, too.  Indeed, John-Paul II and the miracle of Fatima were closely related, and the case in Akita seems to be linked to John-Paul II.  And both Fatima and Akita are located on 38th parallel north.  And, Russia is between Medjugorje and Akita.

Anyway, it seems that WWIII will happen in the late 2020s.  And great natural disasters will happen in 2030s.  Big tsunamis might also attack Japan in 2030s.  The era of 2030s might become years of tragedies.  

So, it is natural that the God has sent the Holy Mother beforehand to give warnings to the mankind and the Japanese people.  If we take the corona pandemic starting in 2020 and the Ukraine War starting in 2022 seriously,  we should take Marian apparitions seriously.    

But, if we continue our prayer to the God, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Mary through 2020s, we may be saved.

Believe in the Spiritual Energy like Little Children

The Gospels tell the story about the great psychic Christ Jesus.  As He was blessed by the God who gave the psychic ability to Christ Jesus, He could perform various miracles.  But, Satan hated Christ Jesus so much and finally killed Him on the cross.  

As Satan could not defeat the God, it was a crazy act to kill Christ Jesus.  But, whether or not Satan killed Christ Jesus, it was destined to be finally destroyed by the God.  Before its complete extinction by the God, Satan must have been determined to harm and soil the human world as much as possible.  So, although it knew that Christ Jesus could continue to live in the spirit world if He was killed in this world, Satan wanted to harm Christ Jesus even in the human world as much as possible.  By harming reputation of Christ Jesus, Satan wanted to get as many people as possible into the hells.  Satan wants as many people as possible to die with it in the hells.

Christ Jesus showed that love could defeat Satan when He died on the cross in this world.  Indeed, Satan used human hatred through which it penetrated into human minds.  So, until His death on the cross, Christ Jesus did not show hatred to those who had sold their souls to Satan.

But why did Satan hate Christ Jesus so much as to kill Him in the human world, although it knew that Christ Jesus could continue to live in the spirit world?  It is because Christ Jesus told people to use spiritual energy and psychic power in addition to love to solve any human problems without relying on power of money which is another form of Satan.

Indeed, when people started to use spiritual energy and psychic power in addition to love to solve any human problems, Satan would lose its influential power on people.

So, what we should learn from the Gospels is how effective spiritual energy and psychic power in addition to love are.  Indeed, spiritual energy and psychic power in addition to love have great power.  So, many persons of religion in India, China, Japan, etc. have traditionally tried to acquire spiritual energy and psychic power through hard ascetic training.  

But, Christ Jesus told that anybody could get such ability through faith in the God who is the Creator of the whole universe.  And, such ability should be used with love to the God and poor neighbors.  This teaching of Christ Jesus made Satan angry.  If this teaching prevailed, nobody would try to use Satan's power or get money even by selling their souls to Satan.

However, as the spiritual energy penetrates into this material world, some people happen to be able to use this energy.  With this energy, ancient Egyptians could build pyramids, Yuri Geller can bend spoons, and some psychics cure the disease.  But, as Satan can use this energy and give it to anybody it chooses, we have to first have faith in the God in seeking such energy. 

Indeed, the Gospel reads:

18 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.  (Matthew 18)

In order to use the spiritual energy or the energy in the spirit world, we have to believe in the God without doubt like small children who do not know power of money or Satan.

Anyway, Satan succeeded in killing Christ Jesus in this world who did not use spiritual energy to defeat those who had sold their souls to Satan.  However, love of Christ Jesus to those who had sold their souls to Satan does not mean that Christ Jesus loved Satan.  In the spirit world, Satan should have been all the more severely punished.

Yet, we should use spiritual energy and psychic power more than money in solving human problems.  And such power can obtain through our faith in the God.  But, it should be used with love.  Otherwise, Satan will attack us with spiritual energy.  We should not forget that Satan could kill Christ Jesus in this world.

However, we should use spiritual energy and psychic power more than money in solving human problems, since our souls and minds can continue to live in the spirit world after death in this world.

There seems to be big mistakes in interpreting the Gospels.  That is why men cannot build a civilization where they can fully enjoy God's blessings.  Rather, they are now revering and respecting Satan as a god, since Satan takes the form of money.  Even the world economy is based on money which they believe can solve anything in the human world.  So, money becomes a kind of religions and common languages in the world.  Power of money (Satan in other word) overwhelms the world.

So, we have to change our view on the Gospels.  The Gospels tell the teaching of the God that rich men cannot enter into Heaven but go into the hells, since money is the source of every evil and the tool of Satan who understands its fate that it will be finally and decisively destroyed by the God, so that it is trying to harm and soil the human world created by the God as much as possible and bring as many men as possible to the hells before its extinction.  

First of all, Christ Jesus told that there are Heavens and the hells, which means that there is other world or the afterlife.  Indeed, if you believe in Christ Jesus, you would simply believe that there is the afterlife where Heaven and the hells exist.  And, because Christ Jesus assured poor people could be accepted in Heaven to live happy forever, Christianity has prevailed through these 2,000 years, since a majority in the human world has been always poor people. 

So, Christians mean essentially the people who are not afraid of their death in this world, since they are convinced that they can be accepted in Heaven to enjoy eternal happiness.  Therefore, they do not seek money to become materially happy in this world.  Rather, they see Satan in money, so that they try to avoid money as much as possible, so that they have would inevitably become poor.  This is why monks and nuns have to live poor, separating their lives from worldly money-driven society.  They have to live with less money as much as possible.  You can pray to the God in anywhere, but Satan can easily come into ordinary life, so that they have to hide in monasteries or convents.  But, strong saints such as Christ Jesus, St. Peter, etc. did not avoid encounter with Satan.  Indeed, Christ Jesus said to people not to be afraid of Satan, since it cannot do anything other than killing them in this world.  

But, Satan has brainwashed people with money, showing how happy lives people can enjoy with big money in this world.  Satan teaches that happiness in this world is more important than happiness in Heaven in the afterlife.  And, the more people taste material happiness in this world, the more people follow Satan and seek money.  Then, the human civilization started to corrupt.  

But, Christ Jesus has waited for 2,000 years.  Even the Holy Mother gave warnings in many places such as Fatima in these centuries.  But, it seems that time is up.  The Holy Mother in her apparitions told that the God would no more defend and protect the human beings from coming disasters such as WWIII, great natural disasters, so on.  Yet, people are seeking money or following Satan, as they  mistakenly believe that human science and technology would solve any problems.  But, modern science and technology developed based on money (Satan) economy cannot be effective in solving problems caused by evil of money (Satan). 

For example, modern science and technology are supported by electricity that generates electromagnetic effects that can interfere with earth magnetism.  Even electric vehicles are prevailing.  Disturbance in earth magnetism should cause disturbance in stability of the earth axis.  Poles of the earth axis might change, causing a great catastrophe to the human civilization.  It would have a greater consequence than that caused by the increase in the CO2 emissions.  But, can we stop use of electricity?  

We are rushing to the catastrophe with material prosperity based on use of electricity while Satan in the spirit world is laughing to see human folly.  That is why the Holy Mother was shedding tears in her apparitions to see the future tragedies of the mankind most of whom would go to the hells after their death in this world.  Crazy Satan would gather those souls of the mankind in the hells so as to further attack Heaven with them.  But, the God should destroy them once and for all.  Those souls of the mankind following Satan would be completely destroyed and lost in the spirit world.  But, other souls admitted into Heaven would live happy forever there, looking down on the great tragedy and extinction of the hells.                    

So, we have to turn to the God, Christ Jesus, the Holy Mother, etc., avoiding use of money.  We have to have poor lives not supported by money.  We have to start to build a civilization based on spiritual love but not love to money (Satan).  

But, can the Pope and other priests and pastors clearly shout that money is Satan?

At least, we have to lower the level of our material life to that of 2,000 years ago when Christ Jesus first came to this world.  Then we will be saved from the coming tragedies.  We should rely on our spiritual power in getting foods, clothes, residents, etc.  With our prayer to the God, we surely can obtain such power.

So, we have to strengthen, purify, and deepen our faith in the God so that we can get more spiritual power.  Indeed, saints with great spiritual power should be found among poor men without money or influences of Satan.  

And, I do not think that the above theory is against various theories in Japanese Buddhism, shintoism, spiritualism, etc.  We should have believed in our traditional spiritualism that seemed to have been lost about 1,000 years ago in Japan.  

Indeed, once a notable Buddhist monk with spiritual power was said to have changed weather in a rain-making ritual so as to make rains in the agricultural land.  It may be a little difficult for modern people, but there are some even today who can bend a spoon with psychic power.  We have to have faith in our ability to be able to live spiritually like small children who are not brainwashed with money (Satan) as Christ Jesus told.        

Anyway, we are alive not due to money but due to our spiritual power.  Our souls are more valuable than money.  In other world, our love or minds are more precious than money.  We should not sell our souls to Satan for any money.

John 10, King James Version
10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

"all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years" - Satan in Details in Modern Science

Around Tokyo 

Satan in Details in Modern Science 

The causal relation is a basis of the modern science and technology and also that of Buddhism.  But, it is observed that this relation is broken in the world of elementary particles.  Even it cannot be judged whether an incident there happened in the past or will happen in the future.  Indeed, in the spirt world there is no concept of time and space.  Therefore, in the very small space in the material world, the energy of the spirit world can penetrate there to break the common sense in the material world, so that various mysteries should happen such as one in the double-slit experience in the quantum physics.

For example, this world is made of atoms where electrons with negative charges are moving around an atomic nucleus with positive charges.  But, electrons never fall into the atomic nucleus; even attracting force working between electrons and the atomic nucleus never mingle them into one object.  It is said that there is no probability that electrons take such orbits as would make electrons clash the nucleus due to quantum physical laws.  Therefore, every material object such as water and iron and even human bodies can exists stably.  Otherwise, this material world suddenly collapse.  However, modern physics cannot find factors that decide such probabilities about locations, movements, etc. of elementary particles, etc.  The answer must be found in the spirit world.  It should be the spiritual energy that maintains and preserve this material world.  

Therefore, we have to admit that energy and force from the spirit world penetrate this world.  And, as Christ Jesus said, we should be able to work on the energy and force from the spirit world through our prayers to the God and faith in the God.

Indeed, with strong faith in the God as Christ Jesus had, we should be able to work on the energy and force coming from the spirit world so as to cause various miracles.  However, Christ Jesus did not make poor people materially rich by use of the ability to use the spiritual force and energy.  Instead, He taught that poor men were blessed as they could be allowed into Heaven after death in this world.

It must mean that living in poverty is the decisive condition to be accepted in Heaven.  Life in poverty in this world must have more significant meaning than we think.  To be rich, we have to sell any portions of our souls to Satan, which is a blasphemy.  Material affluence means a lack in faith in the God.  But, Satan stimulates men's desire to be materially rich, so that they come to seek money even by selling their souls to Satan.   

In this context, modern science, religions, economy, public order, etc. are all connected to one another.  And, even the ability to use the spiritual energy is not effective in solving these human problems.  It is because even Satan can also use the spiritual energy to destroy people and contaminate civilization.  As Swedenborg wrote, if angels and good spirits did not protect people and civilization, they should be suddenly destroyed, since Satan and evil spirits can work on materials and fates of people.    

From ancient days, people in the world believed that God's power was working in this world.  So, even before the first coming of Christ Jesus to this human world 2,000 years ago, they prayed to the God so as to save them from various threats in the nature and the human world.  But, as the material civilization developed, people did not turn to the God so much and so often as before, since the modern material civilization based on technology and science gave them easy solution, comfort and benefits.  And, wealth and money have promised people almighty power to solve every problem.  As consequence, people have come to revere money as a god, which is the purpose of Satan.  Money is indeed another form of Satan.

Indeed, it is said that devil is in the details.  Truly, modern science has found that sacred power is working against Satan who wants to collapse and destroy this material world from the level of elementary particles.  We have to change to spiritual civilization leaving power of money (Satan) behind.

"will ye also be his disciples?" - Believe without Doubt

Believe without Doubt

Why do so many people experience or observe super-natural phenomena such as spoon bending and near-death experiences?  Even some people are cured through spiritual healing.  It is because there is spiritual energy and force working in this world.  In other word, there is the God.

If you denied existence of spirits, spiritual energy, the spirit world, and the God, you would not deny the fact that you are alive with your own mind.  But, your life and mind are rather spiritual than material, since your body consisting of molecules, atoms, elemental particles, etc. should not live and have a mind as no life and mind can be found in those elements.

So, you deny spiritual matters by using your mind in your body that are spiritual.  You may build an AI robot with those elements and software, but it cannot have a mind, only simulating a human mind.  It cannot think of the God.

From the beginning, this material universe was created with energy in the spirit world.  The God used His words and thought to create this material universe from the spirit world.  Therefore, spiritual energy can still penetrate into this material world superseding material physical laws and physical energy and force.  Therefore, scientists cannot discover and explain secrets or mysteries and origin of this universe and materials such as elementary particles.  The spirit world and the God cannot be explained scientifically.

But how can we connect to the spirit world and use the spiritual energy?  According to Christ Jesus, we can be connected to the spirit world and use the spiritual energy through our prayer and faith.  Yet, are those psychics or persons with spiritual power so faithful?  Indeed, the Bible reads that even Satan and evil spirits can use the spiritual energy.  That is why the Vatican is reluctant to admit that any man with supernatural power is a saint.  Satan can even float a man it haunts in the air.

If our civilization was based on spiritual energy, we should not contaminate the earth as we see today.  With spiritual energy, we should be able to get enough foods, clothes, and residents.  But as we wanted more and materially high-quality foods, clothes, and residents, we opted to develop material civilization and social systems based on money and wealth, resulting in the world of today with full of problems.  In other word, our material desire has defiled and soiled the environment.

Therefore, the solution to these problems in the world is to enhance our faith in the God so as to be able to use the energy of the spirit world.  But, as the Holy Mother warned in Fatima in 1917, etc., it may be too late.  The God will probably no more protect us from coming disasters such as WWIII and great natural disasters.  Indeed, it has been 2,000 years since the first coming of Christ Jesus to this world.  The mankind has been given enough time.

But, if we repent today to abandon our material desire, Christ Jesus might come to this world in the second time to save us.  For this purpose, we should start to regard money as a tool of Satan, so that we should avoid seeking money to satisfy our material desire.  We should stop money-based economy.  And, we must start to build new civilization based on our belief in the word of Christ Jesus: "Anything can be possible if you believe without doubt."                

 

Indeed, thousands and more of little children who saw Uri Geller's performance to bend a spoon with psychic power suddenly started to do the same in Japan in 1970s.  We have to be like these small children.

27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.

"gain the whole world, and lose himself" - Reversed Correspondence between the Human World and the Spirit World

Reversed Correspondence between the Human World and the Spirit World 

According to Swedenborg, a great psychic in the 18th century, there is correspondence between this human world or this material world and the spirit world or the afterlife.  But, it must be a reciprocal number-related relationship.  What is large in this world should be small in the spirit world.  What has big value in this world should have small value in the afterlife. 

Being rich in this world means being poor in the spirit world.  Being poor in this world should mean being rich in the spirit world.  Therefore, Christ Jesus said to be poor in this world, so that wealth will be accumulated in the spirit world.  Indeed, the value system is opposite between this world and the afterlife.  This is the key to understanding this world, Heaven, and the hells in Christianity.  And, understanding this relationship means obtaining enlightenment in Buddhism.  But, love and truth of the God should be exceptional. 

So, the value system based on the amount of money and wealth is not effective in the spirit world or the afterlife.  The value system in Heaven should be solely based on how much one loves the God.  But, the value system in the hells should be based on how much you hate the God.   

Yet, in the human world, people love money more than the God.  People revere money more than the God.  Actually people regard money as a god, since money can solve any problems in this world.  However, money is another form of Satan.  Therefore, people revere Satan as a god.

But, in the spirit world, you do not need money to get what you want.  According to Swedenborg, when you think about something, it will be realized.  Whatever you wish will be soon realized in the spirit world.  So, spirits of dead men in the spirit world should want what money cannot buy.  And what they want is love for the God or love for Satan.  They want to realize love with the God or Satan.  So, those who love the God will go up into Heaven, but  those who love Satan will go down to the hells.  

And, Satan who knows it will be finally destroyed by the God is trying to harm and soil the God as much as possible before it is eradicated by the God.  So, Satan is so evil and crazy.  Its followers will be like Satan.

Anyway, the more you have money, the more you can be happy in this world.  But, the more you have love to money, the less you will be happy in the spirit world.  Yet, the more you have hatred to the God, the more you feel happiness in the hells.  Indeed, the hells are governed and ruled by Satan who is so evil and crazy.

Put simply, sanity in the human world to seek money for happiness is madness in the spirit world where one's idea is realized when it is thought about.  What you need in the spirit world is love to the God.  However, most of men who go into the spirit world cannot realize this truth or they continue to love Satan as a god.

But, a man with the physical body needs money to buy foods, clothes, the residence, etc.  So, he will think it is crazy to believe that such necessities will be provided by the God only if he loves the God.  But, this craziness is recommended by Christ Jesus, and many people believed in Christ Jesus once, so that Christianity prevailed.  But, Satan has almost succeeded in making all the people love money as a god since material civilization started to give more convenience and comfort with development of material science and technology in the 19th century onwards.

Yet, the more you have money, the more you are rejected at the entrance of Heaven.  This difference or discrimination in the spirit world must correspond reversely to that in the human world.

24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

The Key to being Free from Satan

In what state will men live in the spirit world or the afterlife after death in this world?  

Some people who have communicated with spirits living in the spirit world or have had near-death-experience say that men's spirits have to undergo education and training after death so as to enhance themselves in the spirit world toward Heaven or the God's sphere.  Or otherwise they must fall into the hells.

Swedenborg who saw the spirit world while living in this world in the 18th century reported that no spirits in Haven ware lazy or just enjoying their status of being in Heaven; everybody was working to help other spirits.

So, we have to read the Gospels to check words of Christ Jesus, and we should find that one of the main themes of the Gospels is fight against Satan.  Therefore, we might assume that human spirits allowed into Heaven should be busy fighting Satan and evil spirits.  Indeed, this must be the reason why the God had created men and accepted some of their spirits in Heaven.  We should be expected essentially to fight Satan and evil spirits.

Heaven should be the place where happiness can be completely realized forever.  But why are simple spirits of dead men allowed to enter Heaven and enjoy the utmost happiness there forever only if they are qualified by the God?  It must be because the God wants these spirits to fight against Satan and evil spirits in the spirit world.  And, as reward these fighting spirits should be allowed sometimes to enjoy happiness in Heaven.  But, this fight against Satan and evil spirits should continue forever.  Yet, the God, His angels, and His followers cannot be defeated by Satan and evil spirits.  The end is clear, but the God wants His angels and His followers to fight for Him forever, although the God must be able to eradicate Satan, evil spirits, and even the hells at any time.  It might be a show for the God, but we are in no positions and situations where we can complain.      

Indeed, some spirits of men who were believes of Buddhism or shintoism when there had been alive in Japan said in spiritual communications with spiritualistic mediums that they had to go through more education and trainings in the spirit world to go up to the higher levels in the spirit world.  And, they looked so busy that they had no time to communicate with spiritualistic mediums or family members left in the human world. 

But what is the content of such training in the spirit world?  Some religious people or those familiar with spiritualism often say that this human world is the place for spiritual training, so that a man has to repeat reincarnation over and over again till he gets enough enlightenment like the Buddha.  The Buddha said that when one acquired such enlightenment he would go into the supreme state of spirits where only peace and tranquility exist and there would be no more reincarnation to suffer in life in the human world.  He must at least be able to flee from Satan and evil spirits in this world and the spirit world.  But, Christ Jesus tried to defeat Satan with His love to people suffering from Satan's wickedness and even Satan who is destined to be completely destroyed by the God in the end.   

In this world men are requested to enhance their personal quality.  In the spirit world, their spirits are requested to enhance their spiritual quality.  But, how?  It should be through fight against Satan and evil spirits.  And, where are Satan and evil spirits?  Satan is everywhere in the form of money, and evils spirits are in the minds of men seeking money by selling their souls to Satan.  To enter into higher levels in the spirit world, men must fight against their desire to earn money and get wealth.  In this world, men must try to be poor as much as possible, and in the spirit world their spirits must fight Satan and evil spirits fighting against everything holy and sacred. 

So, put simply, the reason for our existence in this world and the spirit world is fight against Satan and evil spirits.  And, fighting Satan means to become poor as much as possible.  Indeed, there are no such men as rich Christ Jesus and rich angels.

However, as Satan is wickedly clever, it might appear among poor people in the form of a poor saint to make them believe that money is their god.  To enhance one's ability to defeat Satan and evil spirits loving to bring pollution to the world created by the God must be a purpose for our existence in the human world and the spirit world.

Finally, poverty is the key to being free from Satan.

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

"we know not; or who hath opened his eyes" - One-Armed Japanese Manga Artist Believing in Spirits

One-Armed Japanese Manga Artist Believing in Spirits

Shigeru Mizuki (real name: Shigeru Mura, 1922-2015) was a prestigious manga (cartoon) artist who started his career in 1958 after he had been demobilized and sent home from a South Pacific war front in WWII where he had lost his left arm due to an air raid by the U.S./Australian military.  

Mizuki was chosen by the Japanese Government to be a person who has performed distinguished services in the field of culture in Japan in 2010.  Indeed, Mizuki is even today recognized as one of the most successful manga (cartoon) artist in Japan after WWII like Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989) whose style influenced many manga/animation artists in Japan after WWII.  (Mizuki once said that Tezuka was younger than he, but as Mizuki used to sleep more than 10 hours per day, he could live longer than Tezuka.)

What is specific to Mizuki is his emphasis on specters or spiritual figures.  He created a Manga series with a boy called Kitaro with spiritual power as a main figure.  Kitaro fights against evil spirits and bad guys, and he always wins in the end.  Kitaro is called "Ge-Ge-Ge-no Kitaro (Kitaro of ge, ge, ge)" as animals praise him and sing luridly with sounds of "ge, ge, ge" to praise him and celebrate his victory over the wicked.    

But the most specific to Mizuki is the fact that he was a manga (cartoon) artist with only right arm, although he used some assistants after he became famous and very busy.  He came back to Japan as a disabled soldier without any hope in his life after WWII, but he did not lose his will to continue his life, so that he finally decided to use his talent for painting after various jobs such as peddling of the fish and an owner of an apartment house (called Mizuki House, which became his pen name).  And, he could marry a young woman in his home town while he was still a poor comic artist.  It was when Mizuki was almost 40 years of age that his manga (comics) became so popular in the Japanese society.  And, he finally became a rich man so as to travel the world (such as the South Pacific regions, South East Asia, Australia, and the U.S.) to see local spiritual traditions.  He has become a researcher of the spiritual culture.  Based on this experience, he created many graphic novels.    

Mizuki had believed the existence of spiritual creatures since he was a small child as he was familiar with an old woman in his home town who often came to his house for help and had a superstitious idea.  Mizuki showed his talent of painting in his primary-school age before WWII.  But, it is a kind of miracles that a disabled soldier with only one arm became a successful manga artist.

When he traveled to Australia to see Aborigine's culture, he found that they were living with spirits.  He was satisfied to see that there were people daily living with spirits.  He thinks that men after their death would go into the state like a baby before one or two years old where they do not realize that they are living. 

He did not have spiritual ability, but he believed that spirits were everywhere especially in undeveloped regions in the world.  Anyway, it is a miracle that a one-armed manga artist had become one of the most notable and successful artists in Japan after WWII.  So, disabled soldiers in the Ukraine War might become successful artists in the future.

John 9, King James Version
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

"Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples" - Spiritual Importance of Breathing

Spiritual Importance of Breathing

According to various priests, monks, masters, teachers, pursuers, researchers, etc. of Japanese Buddhism, shintoism, spiritualism, etc. breathing is the key to keeping and promoting health.  

Some of them say that men can get energy in the universe into their bodies through deep and repeated breathing to fill their lungs and abdomen.  Indeed, they have proposed various ways of deep breathing based on their own theories.  Some historical Buddhist monks who launched their own schools of Japanese Buddhism are said to have practiced special breathing to get enlightenment.  Even today, some health specialists recommend an abdominal type of respiration where air is slowly taken through the nose and led to the lower part below the navel and then spewed out more slowly from the nose or mouth. 

It is said the most important nutrition to human cells is oxygen.  Especially it is said that the human brain consumes about 25% of all the oxygen taken in through breathing.  Indeed, oxygen from breathing and glucose sugar from the liver are needed for our brains to work and function normally.  

A Japanese medical doctor, called Nobuo Shioya who had practiced special breathing for decades, did not show mountain sickness when he climbed up the Himalayas at his age of 74 in 1990s while other climbers, younger than he, in his group all suffered altitude sickness.  So, he confirmed the effect and advantage of his method of breathing.  Cells in his body must have been filled with oxygen due to his breathing method.   

Anyway, importance of oxygen to the human body has been confirmed in this period of the corona-pandemic.  Oxygen inhalers have played the key role in medical treatment of corona-virus infected patients.

But, what should be noted is Shioya's theory for recommending deep breathing: Energy in universe, which should be regarded as spiritual energy, can be taken into one's body through deep breathing.  He thinks that some mysterious energy surely fills the universe, although he had been educated in the University of Tokyo.  Some yoga masters often study and practice traditional breathing by which they believe that they can take in universal energy into their bodies to enhance their super-natural ability.  Even the Buddha is said to have practiced a special way of breathing, so that he could live up to 80 years 2,500 years ago.  Shioya lived up to 105 years old and died in 2008, while writing about 10 books about his method of breathing and thoughts.  Shioya thought that his health had been realized by his specific breathing; he became an age shooter in playing golf a few times at his 90s of his age.  

Shioya did not have specific spiritual ability but he encountered some super-natural phenomena in his life such as falling of gold powders from the air in his clinic or spiritual communications with a great priest of Japanese shintoism who had been living more than 1,000 years ago.  So, he found that breathing is a way of connecting oneself to spiritual energy.  If Shioya lived today, he should be free from the corona-pandemic.  Indeed, if Queen Elizabeth II had practiced Shioya's method of breathing, she should have continued to live over 2022.  In addition, he came to believe that he had been Lao-tze, a great Chinese thinker about 2,500 years ago, in one of his previous lives (In Japan, there were founders of new religions after WWII who claimed that they had been, each, once the Buddha in their former incarnation, although without concrete evidence).  Although he had been a prestigious physician in Tokyo till the middle of 1980s since days before WWII, he was a great researcher of spiritualism.  

Shioya believed the existence of spirits and the spirit world.  So, he practiced a kind of hand healing and is said to have cured privately the Empress Kojun (a grandmother of the incumbent Emperor) of Showa Emperor decades ago.  And, what occupied Shioya's mind was the coming crises of the earth such as WWIII.  So, he recommended to practice his method of breathing with a notion and prayer that peace would prevail in the world.  Indeed, while he was living, peace prevailed in Japan and WWIII did not happen.

According to Shioya, one's prayer to the God, etc. can be heard through its breading, although he was not Christian but a kind of followers of Japanese Buddhism and shintoism.  Shioya thought that the human civilization had corrupted and gone rotten enough to make WWIII happen.  Our civilization has contaminated the air of the earth so much that abnormal weather should come.  Even pole shift would occur, he is afraid. 

After death in this world, one's spirit needs not to breath in the spirit world.  But, breathing might be a way of connecting oneself to the spirit world. Psychics might be unconsciously performing a special method of breathing when they are showing effects of their spiritual power. 

So, the corona pandemic might have occurred to remind us of importance of breathing and oxygen to the human bodies and cells.  We must be able to live longer and healthier through practicing specific breathing or especially Shioya's method of breathing (https://www.naturalscience.org/news/2020/03/the-healing-power-of-breath/).

Matthew 9, King James Version
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
