"Bless them that curse you" - The Spiritual Energy Can Beat Satan


A Church around Tokyo

The Spiritual Energy Can Beat Satan

Once there was a Japanese man who could talk with a tree around his home when he had been a little child.  But one day when he said to his friend that he could talk to a tree, his friend said that it was absurd.  So, he stopped talking to the tree so as not to lose the friend.  And, he lost the ability to talk with trees.  But after growing up, he learnt spiritualism and remembered his past experience with the spiritual ability which he had already lost.

In 1970s, when Uri Geller visited Japan and performed his spoon bending with psychic power in a TV program, more than ten thousands little children who saw the program started to bend spoons with psychic power.  But as they grew up they found that it was against commonsense, so that they lost this ability.  (Yet, a Japanese doctor of engineering once found that children could regain the ability to bend spoons with psychic power if their brain waves were put in a special range of frequencies, which was however neglected by the mainstream of society.)  

Indeed, the Gospel reads that the Lord Jesus Christ encouraged little children to exercise spiritual ability:   

13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. (Mark 10)

The kingdom of God should mean the environment where the spiritual energy works.  Therefore, little children who believe that they are in it can exercise the spiritual energy, so that they can communicate with spirits of trees and bend spoons with spiritual energy.

But as they grow up, they are taught that there is no such thing as the spiritual energy.  To continue to live in the human society, they have to accept such commonsense to lose the ability to use the spiritual energy. 

In this context, for a man to use the spiritual energy, he has to believe that there is the spiritual energy around him.  But how much should he believe it?  Probably as much as little children who have no doubt.  

Nonetheless, when men grow up, they come to want to satisfy their material desires.  To satisfy material desires, they have to be rich, earning money and accumulating wealth.  It is money prevailing in the human world but not the spiritual energy that works satisfying their material desires.  So, men do not mind losing the ability to use the spiritual energy.  And, Satan with the ability to use the spiritual energy should be pleased.

But, there are some special characters who love to use the spiritual energy at the bottom of their heart.  Such peculiar men might retain the ability to use the spiritual energy after growing up.  They should often become religious men by occupation.  So, some special monks or nuns of Christianity could exercise this ability sometimes secretly in confined environments.  So, there are records of such men floating in churches in their absorbing in deep payer.

Anyway, modern people get used too much to living in material environments with various products, machine, devices, etc. that give convenience, pleasure, and satisfaction of material desires.  So, we may say that they have almost lost the ability to use the spiritual energy.

But, why is the ability to use the spiritual energy so important while we can satisfy our material desires by use of products of the material civilization?  First of all, as the Lord Jesus Christ taught, we can access the kingdom of God through it.  Further, we can fight Satan by use of the spiritual energy, which is why Satan does not like us to retain the ability.    

But, it is a surprise that a tree has a spirit so as to be able to communicate with a human being and a spoon can be bent through psychic power. 

Yet, do we like to live in such an environment where talking with plants and spoon bending with psychic power are possible while sacrificing satisfaction of our material desires by use of products of material civilization?

Finally the Lord Jesus Christ taught:
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Mathew 7)
The material civilization now we are enjoying should be the wide gate; the spiritual energy should be the narrow way.  In the material civilization, there should be full of ravening wolves.  But, graceful sheep with the spiritual energy should be able to beat wolves.  That is why Satan pushes the idea on the public that there is no such thing as the spiritual energy.  So, we have to be faithful enough so as not to be brainwashed by Satan.

Luke 6, King James Version
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
