I watched TV news about droughts in the USA.
I am sorry, but humans cannot control a drought or flood.
We have nothing left except to pray to God TenchiKanenoKami.
It is said that God TenchiKanenoKami can control weather, so I believe that it will rain there when our prayer reaches God TenchiKanenoKami.
Please let's pray to God TenchiKanenoKami.

The first step in practicing the faith is to cherish the course of events which happen to us.
It is of course most important to respect and cherish God TenchiKanenoKami. To respect and cherish God TenchiKanenoKami is to respect and cherish his workings.
The course of events which happen to us is the workings of God TenchiKanenoKami.

The more we cultivate our spirit, the more divine blessings we can receive.
The spirit of soil or the spirit of earth is a receptive spirit like the earth which accepts anything even dirty water without a complaint and makes them manure to grow beautiful flowers and delicious fruits.
When we accept the course of events which happen to us with the spirit of earth, our spirit will be cultivated to receive divine blessings.
The course of events which happen to us is nourishing food for our spirit to cultivate it.
Please let's try to accept the course of events with the spirit of earth so as to receive more divine blessings.
Thank you for watching.

Though this teaching says, "Do not say it is a miracle when you receive divine blessings by practicing faith," I feel that it is a miraculous occurrence.
I think that I should not take a divine blessing for granted.
Also, I do not take it for granted that I receive divine blessings.
I believe that the divine blessing which I receive is the special and miraculous divine blessing.
Thank you for watching.

Early this morning I asked God TenchiKanenoKami, "What should I tell this morning?"
Then, I received a word "Value, value."
I thought about the value of faith or the value of church.

According to the TV news, Ichiro was suddenly traded to the New York Yankees from the Seattle Mariners yesterday.
I remember that the big news that Ichiro would play for the Mariners in 2001 was announced soon after my family moved to Seattle.
Therefore, I have felt that my family's life is something synchronized with his Seattle life since he came to Seattle.
This time he moved to the New York Yankees, so I feel the rhythm of the heaven and earth.
Thank you for watching.

There seem to be two types of divine mediators.
One is a mediator as an agent for humans, and the other is a mediator as an agent for God TenchiKanenoKami.
A divine mediator is waiting for you.
This is because asking the divine mediator to convey your wish to God TenchiKanenoKami is much more effective than praying alone to God TenchiKanenoKami by yourself.
Please try to ask for the divine mediator.
Thank you for watching.

Although my practicing the faith is not enough, I want to receive divine blessings and be of service to God.

I believe that practicing the faith is a sequence of spiritual awakening and to perform it. What should we be awake to? We should be awake to the great divine blessings and awake to the truth that we owe God TenchiKanenoKami a great debt of gratitude.
When I entered the Airaku Church to become a practitioner of Otsuboism, my religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo said to me, "Train yourself to be awake to the great divine blessings."

It is important to keep seeking the meaning of the divine message.
Early this morning I prayed to God TenchiKanenoKami for an important matter, and then I received divine messages "take a place" and "took a place."
However, I am sorry that I could not understand their meanings clearly.
There are some divine messages which I cannot understand clearly at that time when I receive them, but they should be cherished because they may imply something important.
Thank you for watching.

I really feel that I have received divine blessings more than I deserve.

Here the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo said, "A heart of prayer is the point that's important."
It is most important to trust God TenchiKanenoKami wholeheartedly.
If you trust God TenchiKanenoKami a little, you will receive a blessing a little.
If you trust God TenchiKanenoKami from the bottom of your heart, God TenchiKanenoKami will respond to your faith.
Thank you for watching.

7/15:
As God TenchiKanenoKami says, "to provide divine blessings to a man who prays," first of all, I have to become the man who prays.
Also, at the same time, my spirit needs to be cultivated so that other's salvation may become my pleasure.
Thank you for watching.

From those which have happened to me since yesterday, it seems to me that God TenchiKanenoKami wants us to do our best with the sincerest heart.

I understand that if a divine mediator does not work as a divine mediator, to be a divine mediator has no value according to today's mini-teaching of the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo.
I want to devote carefully myself to being a divine mediator.
I always have to have a consciousness of being a divine mediator and give careful attention to everything as a divine mediator.

It is important to put God TenchiKanenoKami first before everything.
I took my daughter to the DOL for her taking a driving test yesterday. When we left the home, my wife asked me to stop at a store to buy some bread on the way home after taking the test.
Thanks to the divine blessing, she passed the driving test. Then, I thought that I had to express my gratitude to God TenchiKanenoKami before everything, so we returned home directly without stopping at the store on our way home.
We arrived at the parking lot in the apartment and walked to the staircase. At that time I met two men who came from the upstairs with an old computer and an old LCD monitor. They were about to dump them, so I took the monitor.
Th LCD monitor was old, but it worked very well.
If I had stopped at the store on the way home, I would not have met them and would not have gotten the monitor.
It results in a next divine blessing to put expressing one's gratitude to God first.
Thank you for watching.

We apt to take it for granted that we can control our body freely, but it is not in the natural order of things.

My motivation for an action and prayer was changed with the new car battery changed.
For example, when I went to Japan, I wanted to go to Japan because of my selfish desire, but from now on I wish to go to Japan for someone to be pleased.
Until now my driving force has been my selfish desire.
Then, my driving force for everything is changed from now on.
My new driving force is a prayer for salvation of others.
Thank you for watching.

After all I replaced the old car battery with a new one yesterday evening, so my car started with the new battery from today.

I am very grateful for it.

There are five essential practices.
1. to visit the church every day.
2. to listen to teachings.

5. to do one's business as faith training.

Receiving divine virtue is to receive the guarantee of the Heaven-Earth.
There are two meanings.
One is, for example, that I am given assurances about everything by God TenchiKanenoKami.
The other is that God TenchiKanenoKami guarantees me as my guarantor.
Thus, we need to do our best to live up to the expectations of God TenchiKanenoKami.

A divine message showed that what cures an incurable disease is the faith; also, what shows the way to live with the incurable disease is the faith.
Which way will you choose?
Thanks to you I made big profits, which has little value.
On the other hand, thanks to you my heart was cultivated very much, which is more meaningful.
This faith is the faith which cultivates the spirit in every respect.
Thank you for watching.

Early this morning a divine message from God TenchiKanenoKami showed that it is important for receiving divine virtue that we practice the faith at which the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo is pleased.
The primary teaching of his is to practice the spirit of earth. The spirit of earth or the spirit of soil is a receptive spirit in which the earth accepts anything even dirty water without a complaint and makes them manure to grow beautiful flowers and delicious fruits.
Please let's try to acquire the spirit of earth.
Thank you for watching.

Please let's try this way.
Thank you for watching.

I could not move my right hand and fingers freely as I wanted this morning.
My religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo said, "I cannot hold mere chopsticks unless I am allowed to do so by God TenchiKanenoKami," and I was allowed to have such experience as he taught us.
We apt to take it for granted that we can control our body freely, but it is not in the natural order of things.
Actually I cannot hold a mere pencil and write a mere letter freely as I intend without God's permission and blessing.

The first thing in the way of this faith is for a human to be saved.

We often say the words "a divine arrangement."
I experienced an awe-inspiring working of God TenchiKanenoKami yesterday.
Yesterday evening my car's engine did not start suddenly in my parking lot of the apartment.
It's a blessing, and I was very grateful that it happened in my parking lot. If I had been away from home and the engine had not started, I would have had a big problem.
It was a divine arrangement, and I received a divine blessing.
Thanks God TenchiKanenoKami.
Thank you for watching.

It is important to listen to the rhythm of the universe and live in rhythm with the universe.
For example, the day before yesterday when I wrote down "The flowing river three feet," someone poked my back shoulder lightly with something from behind. Then, I turned around and saw my daughter having a three-feet-ruler. I was touched by her three-feet-ruler. Also, I have not seen her having it ever.
I felt the rhythm of the universe and God's back-channel feedback.
We can see or hear God's back-channel feedback when God agrees with us.
Thank you for watching.
YouTube Video

6/28:
There are some people who complain to God because their wishes do not come true.
However, it is not always a true blessing that one's wishes come true according to one's wishes.
For example, when a child pray for a lot of chocolate, if his or her wishes come true according to his or her wishes, the child will get cavities and cry with pain in a tooth.
Therefore, it is not always a true divine blessing that one gets blessings as one prays.
It is hard to understand what a true divine blessing is at that point.
A divine mediator needs power in order to give a true divine blessing, and the faith of the believer needs to be developed to understand the true divine blessing.
Thank you for watching.
YouTube Video

6/27:
In Japan an old saying says, "The flowing river three feet."
It means that a clean thing can be washed after the river flows three feet even if one washes a dirty thing in the flowing river.
God TenchiKanenoKami does not like an implacable heart such as that I cannot forget this issue because he said this or that person said that.
You need to wash away your implacable heart cleanly like the flowing river while flowing for three feet.
Thank you for watching.
YouTube Video

6/26:
Everything that happens to you and I is a nutrient for our heart to cultivate it.
It is hard to know what we should reform, so we need to ask God TenchiKanenoKami, "Oh God, what kind of heart should I cultivate on this occasion?
You and I can cultivate our heart when we realize our heart required improvement.
Doing so is to practice the faith.
Thank you for watching.

6/25:
The current state of being is of course important, but the more important thing is what you and I are seeking for.

A human is born in this world to cultivate the heart.

Finally, you become delighted.

Yesterday I said, "God TenchiKanenoKami's wish for us is to receive true divine blessings by practicing true faith."
Then, what is practicing true faith?
Practicing true faith is the faith to seek the Spirit of Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon.
When we practice the faith to have the Spirit of Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon, we will realize that everything which happens to us is a manifestation of God's love.

It is important to try to understand the heart of God TenchiKanenoKami.
It is important to catch the implied meaning which is contained in the course of events.
This is because there is a message from God in the course of events which happen to us.
We need to find the sign which implies God's heart in the course of events.
It is important to realize God's hidden heart.

God TenchiKanenoKami has a wish for each person.
The starting point of the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo's faith is this, namely, "God TenchiKanenoKami must have a wish for me, too."
The base of his faith is this, namely, "In order that God TenchiKanenoKami's wish for me will be fulfilled."
Then, what the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo was seeking for is this, namely, "That God TenchiKanenoKami's wish for me will be fulfilled."
Please let's try to understand what God TenchiKanenoKami's wish for me is.

Living God Konko Daijin said, "Through Konko Daijin, Tenchi Kane No Kami's blessings can now be received. Through Konko Daijin, Kami has been revealed to the world.
In an emergency, you need not say, "Tenchi Kane No Kami!" Just say, "Konko Daijin, please help me" and you will receive divine blessings."
While there may be various kinds of of blessings, God TenchiKanenoKami started to bless us through Living God Konko Daijin. Then, we came to be able to receive God TenchiKanenoKami's blessings.

It is more than I deserve that I have received divine blessings on my family up to now thanks to this faith.
I have nothing left except to express my gratitude to God TenchiKanenoKami.
One feels suffering because one does not understand God TenchiKanenoKami's true thought.
There is nothing but to feel grateful when one understands God's true heart.
Repenting of one's situation results in nothing good.
Energy, hope, and gratitude spring from the recognition that now is the time to reform myself and to be cultivated for the future.
Thank you for watching.

One cannot receive the divine virtue by only listening to teachings.
For example, even if one would be continuously listening to the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo's teachings throughout one's life, one could not receive the divine virtue.
Likewise, even if one reads teachings over again hundreds of times, one can not achieve spiritual enlightenment.
This is similar to the fact that one cannot lose the weight even though one has been watching the video to lose weight for several months.
The point is to practice the faith, and there is but the faith training to receive the divine virtue.
Thank you for watching.

The principle of the Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School is the Spirit of Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon.
Above all, the foundation of it is the spirit of earth, namely the spirit of soil.
The Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us the following.
When we compare the faith training to the mountain climbing, we can climb the mountain to the point of the 8th station on it by the spirit of soil. Then, we can climb the remaining two stations by the spirit of heaven.
Therefore, the spirit of soil is the main concept of the Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect.
The spirit of soil is a passive and receptive spirit in which the soil accepts anything even dirty water without saying a complaint and makes them manure to grow beautiful flowers and delicious fruits.
Please let's try to master the spirit of soil.

The Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us, "With a single heart, all will come about."

I heard the sad news yesterday.
An innocent victim was hit by a stray bullet and killed while he was driving a car with his parents and children for a vacation.
It was too sad.
A man is suddenly visited by a tragic accident. We do not know when a misfortune comes.
We need God's protection on a regular basis.
We need to maintain excellent communication with God TenchiKanenoKami on a daily basis so that we may be protected by God TenchiKanenoKami.
It is too late that we pray to God after an accident, so we need to have a routine schedule to worship and pray to God TenchiKanenoKami for protection.
Then, it is important to practice five disciplines.

They are
to visit the church every day,
to listen to the teachings,
to polish the spirit,
to chant the prayers, and
to do one's business as faith training.

5/25:
I have three cherished mottoes.
1. To respect and cherish the course of events which happen to me as God's workings.

It is very hard to abandon worries, anxieties or complaints in our heart.
They come up one after another.
Then, if you come up against a worry, an anxiety, or a complaint, you can change them to your prayer.

It is important to sublimate a complaint into a prayer.
When you do so, you come to be able to feel grateful that you can practice the faith thanks to them.

I believe that we should know that God's wish is bigger than our wish.
For example, when we want ten dollars, God TenchiKanenoKami wants to give us twenty dollars.
It is very important to transcend my wish.
To transcend my wish is not to abandon my wish.
To transcend my wish is to live by the will of God TenchiKanenoKami.
Please let's try to receive a bigger divine blessing.
Thank you for watching.

I believe that an intention revolution should be undergone in one's heart.
When I say that I intend to serve God TenchiKanenoKami by myself, this seems wonderful, but there is a limit to what I can do.
When I say that I intend to be used by God TenchiKanenoKami for the service of God TenchiKanenoKami, this seems more wonderful because there will be no limit to what I can do. This is because God TenchiKanenoKami will use us beyond our physical abilities.
One's intention needs to be changed from "I will do it for God TenchiKanenoKami." to "I ask God TenchiKanenoKami to use me."

An old saying tells us, "Water conforms to the shape of its container."
According to the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo, water means a divine blessing as a divine message.
Then, I understood what this saying meant.
It means that a divine blessing conforms to the shape of one's vessel which receives it.
When one's vessel is small, one receives a small divine blessing.
When one's vessel is big, one receives a big divine blessing.
Let's try to have a big vessel for a big divine blessing.
Thank you for watching.

According to this theory of the mini-teaching of the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo, a divine mediator needs to be connected to the religious master; for example, in my case I need to be connected to my religious master the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo.
Thank you for watching.

I believe that a divine mediator especially should respect the sacred seat at the sacred barrier.
The origin of salvation is on the sacred seat at the sacred barrier.
The source of prosperity of a church is the divine mediator's industrious sitting on the sacred seat at the sacred barrier.
God TenchiKanenoKami snuggles up to us when we reform ourselves.
Thank you for watching.

5/15:
I was seated on the sacred seat at the sacred barrier all day long yesterday.
Then today, I have inexplicably been feeling rising gratitude for being allowed to be seated on the sacred seat at the sacred barrier all day long in spite of feeling pains in my legs.
All in all, I feel most grateful for getting seated on the sacred seat at the sacred barrier.
Thank you for watching.

I am really reflecting on the shortage of my wholeheartedness in prayer.
I have my heart set on saying silent prayers over and over again.
I would like to offer a fervent prayer so that my prayer will reach God TenchiKanenoKami.
Thank you for watching.
YouTube Video

5/13:
There is nothing I can do except to offer a fervent prayer.
If a human has a wish and pray, God TenchiKanenoKami will show his working.
Let's become big.
Let's be broad-minded.
Let's be ambitious.
Let's have a big wish.
Thank you for watching.

I wish I had divine virtue.
My religious master the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo was a man of divine virtue and a true divine mediator.
I also would like to become a true divine mediator with divine virtue like the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo.
Thank you for watching.

A conflict between two persons may result from selfishness each other.
When one listens to the other sincerely, there may not be any conflict.
Thoughtfulness for others is important, and it is a base of the spirit of heaven.
When humans try to practice the spirit of heaven, earth, sun and moon, the conflicts in this world may disappear.
Please let's try to have a thoughtful mind.
Thank you for watching.

I was taught some important things by my religious master the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo in the dream last night.
Tthis is a very gracious thing for me although on waking up, I forgot them unfortunately.
God TenchiKanenoKami and the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us even in a dream.
What a gracious thing it is!
Thank you for watching.

I had a divine dream last night.
In the dream someone like my parent was checking up on my preparations for a journey against a checklist because he wanted me to carry enough stuffs with me.
Then, after he verified that I had enough stuffs, I was told, "A departure for the spiritual world."
I believe that this world is for the spiritual world. We actually can practice faith after understanding this.
Thank you for watching.

5/8:
My religious master the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo said, "Praying for the salvation of people is the religious training in one's business for a divine mediator."
A prayer in a vague way does not reach God TenchiKanenoKami.
I believe that it is essential to offer fervent prayers minutely to God TenchiKanenoKami, or Ikigami KonkoDaijin, or the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo.
Thank you for watching.
YouTube Video

5/7:
When I reflected on myself, I became aware of the deficiency of my prayer with the whole heart although I practiced the faith to have the peaceful and joyful heart.
I made up my mind to pray wholeheartedly for everything to God TenchiKanenoKami and the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo from now on as well as practicing the peaceful and joyful heart.
Thank you for watching.

5/6:
I have changed my wish a little bit.
The following is my new wish.
"Please allow to practice the spirit of heaven, earth, sun and moon, and then to help people so that the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo will be pleased by it."
Thank you for watching.

I believe that helping others for my pleasure is a wonderful thing.
Furthermore, helping others for filial devotion to the parent is more wonderful.
Please let's try to help others for the filial devotion.
Thank you for watching.

The Spirit of Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon is God TenchiKanenoKami's heart.
It is essential to aim for the spirit of heaven, earth, sun and moon as a disciple of Rev. Soichiro Otsubo.
I added to master the spirit of heaven, earth, sun and moon to my wish list.
Please let's try to master the spirit of heaven, earth, sun and moon.
Thank you for watching.

5/3:
When I give someone something with a giving heart after someone asks me to give something, the giving heart is the spirit of earth rather than the spirit of heaven.
When I give someone something with a giving heart without a request, the giving heart is the spirit of heaven.
A voluntary kindness is the spirit of heaven, but be careful not to become meddling.
Thank you for watching.

When the father asks me, "Can you scratch my back?," it is kind to scratch his back.
Moreover, it is kinder to scratch the father's back by sensing his wish before he asks me to scratch his back.

The divine mediation has a delicate function in this faith.
Reverend Hakushi Takahashi said:
"What will happen after asking divine mediation will be all good even though the good or bad things will happen.
What will happen without seeking divine mediation will be all bad even though the good or bad things will happen.
I agree with him.
I believe that a divine mediator needs to have an actual feeling of this.
Please let's try to feel the subtle effect of the divine mediation.
Thank you for watching.

I removed some files on the website from a public area to a private area by accepting someone's offer this morning.
After that my computer suddenly froze.
I thought that this happening was a message from God TenchiKanenoKami.
I felt God TenchiKanenoKami's sadness.
When I wrote this sentence, I heard a back-channel feedback sound from God on the the ceiling.
I am sorry too.
God TenchiKanenoKami seems not to be almighty.
Although God TenchiKanenoKami is almighty, he behaves like a God who is not almighty.
Thank you for watching.

4/29:
The Rev. Soichiro Otsubo said that the basis of faith is filial devotion to one's parent.
This is because the filial devotion cultivates one's passion for the parent and compassion for others.
Please let's consider the heart of filial devotion anew.
Thank you for watching.

4/28:
I believe that the Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School is a treasure for the human race.
We will know its value only after using it.
The essence of the Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School is to respect the course of events that happen to us as god's workings.
Please let's try to respect the course of events.
Thank you for watching.

4/27:
It needs divine virtue for the salvation of humans, so we need to know how to receive the divine virtue.
The way to receive the divine virtue is to practice faith just focusing on the Spirit of Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon.
The Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us about the spirit of heaven, earth, sun and moon.
The spirit of heaven is a beautiful spirit in which the heaven gives unlimitedly its boon to anything without a condition.
The spirit of earth is a passive spirit in which the earth accepts anything even dirty water without a complaint and makes them manure to grow beautiful flowers and delicious fruits.
The spirit of sun and moon is a persistent spirit in which the sun and moon persist their movement without a break and selfishness.
Thank you for watching.

4/26:
The religious faith is for a human, and the faith is something which a human practices.
It is vital to have the spirit of heaven, earth, sun and moon.
However, this spirit of heaven, earth, sun and moon is not the whole spirit of heaven, earth, sun and moon.
This spirit of heaven, earth, sun and moon is the spirit focusing on the salvation of humans in every sense.
This faith is God TenchiKanenoKami's wish for a human.
It is the spirit of heaven for the salvation of humans.
It is the spirit of earth for the salvation of humans.
It is the spirit of sun and moon for the salvation of humans.
You can find out the spirit that you need through the course of events which happen to you.
Thank you for watching.

If we have microscopic eyes, we may not be able to live in this world without closing our eyes because we will see millions of germs on our hands and anywhere.
When we see ourselves and around us with microscopic eyesight, we may faint away.
Likewise, when we see our inside of heart with a high-powered microscope, we may shrink back because of our dirty heart.
Therefore, we do not have to watch our inside of heart with a high-powered microscope, but instead we need to watch our inside with a low-powered microscope.
There are millions of things including the inside of our heart which a human cannot see with the normal eyes, but it is OK.
It is important that we recognize that our heart is not clean yet and try to purify our heart.
It is impossible for a human to polish the heart perfectly, but it is vital to make a tireless effort to do so.
Thank you for watching.

4/24:
I received a divine message which is "soaring above."
The Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School is a soaring ideal.
Also, it contains a deep passion.
I believe that something is soaring above.
Now I do not know what something is, but the time is ripe for something to soar above.
Thank you for watching.

4/23:
I received a divine message while praying to God TenchiKanenoKami.
According to the vision, in a scene a room was disorganized and messed up, so I organized the messy stuff in the room. Then, I have finished to clean up there.
I think that this message means that it has been done in myself to reorganize the Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School.
Thank you for watching.

4/22:
What is the happiest thing for you?
The happiest thing for me is to feel God TenchiKanenoKami and his workings.
God TenchiKanenoKami is invisible, but his working is visible.
We cannot see the figure of God TenchiKanenoKami, but we can feel him in the course of events which happen to us.
We can feel his heart and understand his wish for us.
The communication with the heaven and earth is the happiest matter.
Thank you for watching.

4/21:
I have been creating a video since yesterday. It is about how to clean the inside of a bottle. I was taught the way to clean the inside of a bottle by my wife, and I was so impressed by its method. Then, I wanted to show people it.
I believe that we need this passion to show people the greatness of the faith.
To do so, first we need the sensation of being touched by God's workings.
Its sensation serves as the driving force to help people with the power of God.
Thank you for watching.

4/20:
I received a divine message while praying to God TenchiKanenoKami.
In the divine vision I received a big and long box containing a big new bamboo blind.
Then, I thought that I put the new bamboo blind on the altar.
Furthermore, I thought of dedicating three things, namely not to dirty the way, not to contaminate the faith, and not to worry someone to God TenchiKanenoKami.
I think that I should become a person who do not dirty the way, contaminate the faith, and worry someone.
Thank you for watching.

4/19:
I received a divine message early this morning.
In the scene I was getting in a line at a post office to send a letter to someone. My turn came, and I put my letter on the counter in front of a post-office clerk. At the time I found that the letter was unaddressed and did not have texts of the letter. Then, I got out of the post office with the blank letter.
I thought that my prayer did not have the delivery address and contents, which means that my prayer did not reach God TenchiKanenoKami.
Now I am reflecting on myself and my prayer.
Thank you for watching.

4/18:
What happens to a person practicing faith is God's workings.
When one respects the course of events as God's working, one can receive God's blessings because to respect the course of events is to respect God TenchiKanenoKami.
When you feel that even a matter which others do not see as a blessing is a divine blessing, the world of divine blessings will be expanded.
The broader your mind becomes, the bigger the world of blessings becomes.
Thank you for watching.

4/17:
If one has a heart which relies on a man, material object, or money, one may not receive a true divine blessing.
Realizing that what one can rely on is only God TenchiKanenoKami, one needs to pray fervently to God TenchiKanenoKami with one's whole sincere heart and soul.
Thank you for watching.

4/16:
If you practice faith so as to receive a divine blessing, you will be tired.
On the other hand, if you practice faith with joy, you will be happy.
In order that you practice faith with joy, it is important to become fond of faith.
How do we begin to love faith?
My religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo asked me, "What do you do in order to come to like faith?"
However, I did not have its answer.
Then, after a while he said, "The answer is to listen to a person who loves faith as one comes to like fishing by listening to a man who likes fishing."
Please let's try to come to like faith.
Thank you for watching.

4/15:
I received a divine message which meant an earnest heart and soul early this morning.
How can I help people?
There are only two things which I can do.
One is to pray to God TenchiKanenoKami for others' salvation.
The other is to tell something helpful to others.
I think whether people around a mediator are saved by God TenchiKanenoKami or not may depend on the degree of the mediator's wholeheartedness.
I realized whether a divine blessing was bestowed or not might depend on how strongly the mediator desired others' salvation.
It is very important for the mediator to pray for others' salvation with one's whole sincere heart and soul.
I realized that I should dedicate my whole sincere heart and soul to prayer for other's salvation with my earnest heart and soul.
Thank you for watching.

4/14:
In what kind of situation do you feel grateful?

1. At the time when one's wish comes true.
2. At the time when everything goes well as one wants.
3. At the time when one gets a favorite thing.
4. At the time when one receives a favorite thing unexpectedly.
5. At the time when a favorable event happens unexpectedly.
6. At the time when one can feel other's pleasure as one's pleasure.
7. At the time when one understands that one's spirit is developed by it.
8. At the time when one helps others.
9. At the time when one can serve to help others.
10. At the time when one touches God's heart to cultivate one's spirit.

Which case does your gratitude fit into?
Thank you for watching.

4/13:
A longing passion is a basis of a strong faith.
It is important to have longing passions for God TenchiKanenoKami.
The Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School needs a basis.
The basis is a longing passion.
To have longing passions for Rev. Soichiro Otsubo and God TenchiKanenoKami is a foundation for practicing the Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School.
It is important to touch and feel God's kindness so as to have a longing passion for God TenchiKanenoKami.
Thank you for watching.

4/12:
The most grateful thing is to help people.
My religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo was seeking to become the most grateful person in Japan. Since the time when I heard this, I have wanted to become a grateful person, too.
Up until a few days ago I did not understand what the most grateful thing was.
A few days ago I helped an old woman who fell down on a sidewalk.
Then, I realized that the most grateful thing is to help people. I believe that the most grateful thing is to serve to help people.
Thank you for watching.

4/3:
What is your focus of faith?
What kind of blessing do you want to receive?
A true blessing follows a practice of true faith.
It is grateful to receive a materialistic blessing, but it is more grateful to receive a spiritual blessing.
A human relationship is important, but for me the relationship between God and me is more important than the relationship between a person and me.
Please let's try to focus on "the relationship between God TenchiKanenoKami and me" rather than a human relationship.
Thank you for watching.

4/2:
Our founder Living God Ikigami KonkoDaijin taught us that practicing faith means to direct our heart towards God TenchiKanenoKami.
I believe that practicing faith is not to direct our heart towards a man, but to direct our heart towards God TenchiKanenoKami and to be always mindful of God.
It is important to focus on what is implicated in an event rather than the event itself.
Please let's try to think about what God is saying through the course of events.
Thank you for watching.

4/1:
Today I went to Portland from the early morning.
It took seven hours to go there and back by car.
I drove my car with gratitude because of listening to Rev. Soichiro Otsubo's teachings during driving the car.
I am grateful to meet such a great religious master and to become his disciple.
Thank you for watching.

3/31:
I received a warning from God TenchiKanenoKami in a dream which I had yesterday.
In the dream my car was stolen. I went to the movies. After the movie finished, I came out of the movie theater and I became aware of the fact that there was not my car in the parking lot. Then, I looked for my car in the whole parking lot, but I could not find it. Eventually, I realized that my car was stolen.
A car means divine virtue as a divine message according to Rev. Soichiro Otsubo.
Then, I understood that the divine virtue is taken away if I waste time for pleasure.
Thank you for watching.

3/30:
A problem is not a problem, but it is not only a gift but also a chance.
From yesterday through today, I had a problem when I installed a program on my Macbook. I tried to install and to uninstall it several times, but I could not install the new program on the Macbook. Even so, I learned more details about the structure of Mac's OS system thanks to the problem.
Therefore, the problem was a gift and an opportunity to learn more.
I believe that the failure in installation of the new program was God's workings.
A human can learn more through the problem, so even a problem is a divine blessing to teach something more.
Thank you for watching.

3/29:
I received the divine message that is "the restructuring of the Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School."
Also, I received the divine message that it is important to develop the relationship of mutual affection between God TenchiKanenoKami and a man.
Therefore, the first step of the restructuring of the Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School is to develop the relationship of mutual affection between God TenchiKanenoKami and us.
Please let's try to gain a passion for God TenchiKanenoKami through the course of events.
Thank you for watching.

3/28:
As a matter of fact, some noise was produced on my recorded voice the day before yesterday, so I thought why it was produced. It seemed to me that the USB converter, the microphone and their setting were not bad.
I recalled that I changed the sampling rate for the audio setting of AmarecTV program to improve the sound quality.
Some noise was produced on my recorded voice after I changed the setting of the sampling rate from 44.1kHz to 48kHz. Before changing it, there was no noise when I set the sampling rate to 44.1kHz.
Therefore, I reset the sampling rate to 44.1kHz.
After that no noise was recorded.
I realized the divine message that the sampling rate of 48kHz was excessive quality for my situation.
Also, this course of events showed me that the higher quality is not always good.
This is why I said yesterday that the Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School is the best way for a flesh-and-blood person in this world.
Thank you for watching.

3/27:
I have learned the following through the course of events from yesterday to this morning.
The Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect (between God TenchiKanenoKami and a man) of the Otsubo School is one of the highest ideals for an actual human being.
There might be even higher ideals than the Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School, but a flesh-and-blood person may not be able to practice them in this world.
Then, we do not need to seek for other teachings for an actual human being in this world. The Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect of the Otsubo School is the best way for a flesh-and-blood person in this world.
Thank you for watching.

3/26:
I am not good at talking with others.
Furthermore, I have trouble speaking to others.
On the other hand, I am very happy if God speaks to me.
Then, I think that people might be happy when they are spoken to.
From today I will try to practice to start talking to others.
I believe that it may be a practice of the spirit of heaven.
It is also a practice of faith to work at what one is bad at.
Please let's try to work at what we are bad at.
Thank you for watching.

3/25:
How do we develop our faith?
We have to do two things to develop our faith.
One is to strengthen the power of the belief in God.
The other is to cultivate our spirit.
What happens to us is the stuff by which our spirit can be cultivated.
Please let's respect the course of events as god's workings.
Thank you for watching.

3/24:
The toaster did not work this morning.
Then, I prayed to God TenchiKanenoKami for its proper workings.
Suddenly its light became on when I turned the switch on.
It's a blessing. I was grateful.
Of course, I was thankful for the toaster to start working.
Furthermore, I was more grateful to receive god's workings or god's kindness.
This is a kind of heart-meeting.
Thank you for watching.

3/23:
The church in which people can feel God.
The church in which people can feel God's working.
When I feel that I am in God's arms, a peaceful heart is born.
When I feel that I am reciving God's working, a joyful heart is born.
The ultimate faith is to touch God's heartstrings.
Thank you for watching.

3/22:
Yesterday, I said, " Difficulty is a blessing."
However, it may be hard for an ordinary person to understand it.
It needs the power of faith to understand it.
For instance, frozen uncooked meat is meat, but we cannot eat it as is.
We need to add heat to frozen meat to eat.
Similarly, when we take difficulty as a blessing, we need a passion for faith and a passion for practicing faith.
When we ponder God's wish and touch the heartstrings of God TenchiKanenoKami, we may understand that difficulty is a divine blessing.
Please let's practice faith.
Thank you for watching.

3/21:
Difficulty is a blessing.
Difficulty strengthen the bond between God and a man even tighter.
Difficulty develops one's faith.
Difficulty is a divine blessing in itself.
I received a divine vision of a sprouting potato during my prayer early this morning.
According to Rev. Soichiro Otsubo, a potato means prosperity as a divine message. I feel that the time of prosperity is coming.
Thank you for watching.

3/20:
When I was praying to God TenchiKanenoKami early yesterday morning, I received a divine vision. In the vision someone gave me a pair of scissors.
I thought what the scissors meant as a divine message, so I looked up it in Rev. Soichiro Otsubo's teachings.
According to Rev. Soichiro Otsubo, a pair of scissors means divine virtue as a divine message.
Then, I believe that I was given a sort of divine virtue to cut off a string of trouble.
I received another divine message in the dream last night. The scene was that I was about to search for a home by Internet because I had to find a living place in New York.
It is a blessing that we can receive divine messages.
Thank you for watching.

3/19:
A human was not born in this world to make money.
A human was born here so as to practice controlling one's heart and mind.
If a man did not have a heart, if a man was a mere machine, a man could be kept free from sorrow. Then, a man merely lives and dies at the end of one's life. That's all there is to it.
However, a human was given a heart, so distress was born, yet pleasure was also born. Unfortunately a human has not known enough how to control freely one's heart yet.
A human needs to practice controlling one's heart as one wants so as to live with a peaceful and joyful heart.
The first step of the practice is to practice perceiving the course of events as God's working and respecting it. By doing so, a joyful heart will be brought up.
Please receive God TenchiKanenoKami's blessings.
Please receive blessings on your heart.
Thank you for watching.

3/18:
Thinking deeply, there are nothing done by only human power.
What can be done by just human power?
Was the Sun made by human power?
Everything is under the grace of God.
First, a human should realize that a human can do nothing without God's blessings.
We have nothing left except to rely on God TenchiKanenoKami and implore God on our knees.
Thank you for watching.

3/17:
I woke up with a delightful sense of peace this morning. Then, I received emails bringing in good news.
One's heart has a power, so something happens in concert with one's heart.
If you are at ease and happy, good news will come, but if your heart reels from something, it may take away divine blessings.
Therefore, it is essential to maintain one's peaceful and joyful heart.
Please let's try to have a peaceful and joyful heart and to maintain it.
Thank you for watching.

3/16:
I feel today that I am not who I was until yesterday.
When I was undergoing faith training at Airaku Church about 20 years ago, I received a divine message which showed that I would live to the age of 60.
Then, I thought that the span of my life was 60 years, and I would die when I became 60 years old.
I became 60 years old yesterday, but still I am alive.
What does this mean for me?
I believe that I am not who I was yesterday. I was given a new life to be of service to God TenchiKanenoKami, and today is the first day for new me.
Thank you for watching.

3/15:
The endless pursuit of practicing faith is needed.
Those who practice faith have to develop one's faith unlimitedly and to seek the truer truth from the truth.
There are some things in the world of faith which one does not understand from one's common sense. One does not understand them unless one develops one's faith.
For example, a major is allowed to smoke, but a minor must not smoke in the human society. Similarly, based on one's level of practicing faith, there is something that someone is allowed to do, but another is not allowed to do in the world of faith.
Please let's try to develop our faith.
Thank you for watching.

3/14:
The founder Ikigami KonkoDaijin said, "Leave everything to time."
This is a state of respecting the course of events.
To leave everything to time means to leave it to the course of events in other words.
He could not have left everything to time if he had not trusted in God TenchiKanenoKami.
It means that we need to trust in God before leaving everything to time, or leaving it to the course of events.
Please trust in God TenchiKanenoKami first.
Thank you for watching.

3/13:
We shoould eliminate our selfish desires, but we do not have to eliminate all desires. We need to have a God-centered desire.
We have to have such feeling as God TenchiKanenoKami's feeling rather than human feelings to achieve true salvation.
Thank you for watching.

3/12:
It is to breathe life into the course of events which happen to us to practice faith.
It is to animate what happens to us.
Thank you for watching.

3/11:
There are a few people who try to understand the heart of God TenchiKanenoKami.
Most people have a self-centered wish or desire rather than a God-centered wish.
There are a few people who pray that God's wish will be fulfilled.
Most people pray that their wish will come true.
Most people held a memorial service for departed souls and a prayer service for reconstruction in Japan for the anniversary of the disaster on March 11th.
I think that a service for a fulfillment of God's wish is more important, but those who hold such a service are few.
Thank you for watching.

3/10:
This morning I received a friend request from a Facebook user whom I did not know at all. Then, I accepted his request.
This is because my religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us that he did not reject a person coming to him and did not chase a person going away; also, the flowing stream gets renewed in three feet.
It is important to make an experiment on teachings.
Thank you for watching.

3/9:
It is to beg or to ask earnestly rather than to pray merely.
The practice of faith begins from a desire and ends up a desire, which means that it begins with a selfish desire and ends up with God's desire.
In other words, our desire should be developed or grow.
Please let's try to cultivate our desire.
Thank you for watching.

3/8:
Yesterday I sad, "If you don't pray for it, neither Kami nor Buddha will know."
Nevertheless, God TenchiKanenoKami is very kind. For instance, I received an email from my sister. It said that God TenchiKanenoKami gave her a blessing in advance.
She was looking for a job, and her friend introduced a night shift job in a nursing home. Then she tried working for one night as a trial. As a result, she got a cold although she had not gotten a cold ever. Then, she declined the job with thanks because she felt some messages from Kami-sama through her fallling ill. After a while she heard from her friend that an old person in the nursing home passed away on that day when she would have worked there alone for the first day if she had not gotten ill. She must have been in panic if she had worked there on the day.
Therefore, God TenchiKanenoKami stopped her from getting the job to keep away from panic.
How kind Kami-sama is! God TenchiKanenoKami is protecting her without her request before something wrong happens to her.
How gracious God TenchiKanenoKami is!
Thank you for watching.

3/7:
My religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us,
"If you don't pray for it, neither Kami nor Buddha will know."
Therefore, we need to pray to God TenchiKanenoKami wholeheartedly with a burning desire.
First, we have to have a burning desire.
Thank you for watching.

The most import attitude to direct one's heart towards God TenchiKanenoKami is to have a burning desire.
You need to have a strong desire and pray to God TenchiKanenoKami with your whole heart to receive a divine blessing.
If you hope to receive a divine blessing, you may not receive it because of your weak desire.
Then, your selfish desire should be developed and transferred to the desire to have the same desire as God.
Please let's try.
Thank you for watching.

3/5:
God TenchiKanenoKami's wish is to give you more blessings, truer blessings, and bigger blessings.
God's wish is not to give you suffering at all.
If you are in distress, it is a predictor of more blessings. The blessing is waiting for you.
Please receive more divine blessings.
Thank you for watching.

3/4:
I had a divine vision in the dream.
In the vision someone makes a very sharp sword dull so that it can be a showpiece.
It does not take the edge off, but it dulls the edge of the sharp sword by means of putting oil thickly on its edge, keeping its sharp edge.
I want to continue to think what it means.
It is one of pleasures of practicing faith to think about God's wishes.
Thank you for watching.

3/3:
Practicing faith is not to practice the teachings merely.
The essence of Airaku-rinen or Ideal of Mutual Delight and Respect is the communication with the heaven and earth.
It is to understand the heart of the heaven and earth.
It is to feel the heart of the heaven and earth.
It is the deep emotion coming from touching God's TenchiKanenoKami's sentiment.
It comes to serve as the driving force in one's life.
It is not something which is obtained through knowing in one's mind merely.
It is the heart-to-heart understanding between God's heart and our heart.
The heart-to-heart relationship is very important.
You feel the deep emotion coming from the bottom of your heart when you feel God's deep affection. That deep emotion turns the impossible into the possible.
Practicing faith is not to practice the teachings merely.
The communion with the heaven and earth is vital for practicing faith.
Thank you for watching.

3/2:
The function of church is like a lighthouse.
As a lighthouse guides a ship in the right direction in a dark night or in a fog, the church guides a man in the right direction in the dark of life or in the fog of life.
When I prayed to God TenchiKanenoKami early this morning, a drawing pattern on the blanket looked like the number 13.
After a while, I asked my wife how long before it was 5 o'clock. She replied that there were 13 minutes left (before 5 o'clock).
When I heard her answer, I felt something of divine messages. This is because the number 13 as a divine message means that God's wish is fulfilled according to Rev. Soichiro Otsubo.
I think that some God's wish will be fulfilled today.
Thank you for watching.

3/1:
Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us the following.
Everyone feels compassion sometimes, but sometimes not. It is not enough. It is important to keep having compassion always.
I believe that to retain or to keep is very important for practicing faith. According to another teachings, it is essential to have the Spirit of Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon. The spirit of sun and moon is a persistent spirit in which the sun and moon persist their movement without a break and selfishness.
To retain your wish, passion, or compassion as well as prayer is very important to receive true divine blessings.
Please let's keep your prayer always.
Thank you for watching.

2/29:
It is a very great pleasure to me that I can receive messages from God TenchiKanenoKami.
My religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us that his disciples also could receive divine messages through the pipeline which was built between God TenchiKanenoKami and him.
While praying to God TenchiKanenoKami, I received the vision in which there was something like a grade report. There were 10 steps to master, and a word "Pass" was written in a bold face for the final step on it.
I seemed to have passed the final exam for missionary work.
I had some leads such as a friend request which I received on Facebook afterward.
Thank you for watching.

2/28:
It is the practice of faith to endure the unendurable.
There is a rhythm in the heaven and earth.
When I feel the rhythm of the heaven and earth in the course of events, I feel God's working.
It turns the impossible into the possible to feel the rhythm of the heaven and earth.
We can hear a divine message in the rhythm of the heaven and earth.
When we feel the rhythm of the heaven and earth, we can be patient.
Please let's try to get into the rhythm of the heaven and earth.
Thank you for watching.

2/27:
We are taught that it is very important for the practice of faith to be patient.
In some cases, a false rumor is spread after doing what you think is right.
The false rumor ranges out of control.
However, to accept even the adverse rumor as God's working is the practice of faith.
Please let's try to be patient. You can receive a divine blessing while developing the virtue of patience.
Thank you for watching.

2/26:
Whom does Kami-sama place trust in?
I received a divine message while I was praying to God TenchiKanenoKami early this morning.
It was a word "innocence."
I understand that "innocence" is very important to direct one's heart towards Kami-sama.
Those who direct one's heart towards Kami-sama with innocence will be trusted by Kami-sama.
I believe that this innocence means a single-hearted state or simple-mindedness.
Please let's direct our heart towards Kami-sama with innocence.
Thank you for watching.

2/25:
I seemed to be taken an exam in the dream last night.
I was asked in the dream, "Allow you to ....., Which word do you want to add after to?"
After thinking a little I answered, "Save people, allow you to save people."
Shortly afterward, I woke up as I heard the voice in my mind, "Allow you to save people."
It seems to me that I was allowed to save people. It's a blessing.
Thank you for watching.

2/24:
Practicing this faith is to live up to God TenchiKanenoKami's heart.
There are two ways to do so.
One way is to ask a mediator about Kamisama's wish.
The other way is to respect the course of events which happen to us as a manifestation of God TenchiKanenoKami's heart.
Please let's try to live up to Kamisama's heart.
Thank you for watching.

2/21:
My friend in hospital passed away.
He stopped breathing at around 6:39 p.m. on the 26th of January.
I felt implied messages from God TenchiKanenoKami in the 6:39 of the time of his death.
6 means "divine virtue" as a divine message, and 39 means "thank you."
This shows that he was transferred into another world with thanks in the divine virtue.
I believe that he departed with the teachings of my religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo because I had been reading aloud them to him by his bedside, and I read aloud them to him after his death by his bedside. I believe that his soul was listening to the teachings and departed with them.
Then, he was newly born with them in another world.
Although his plan did not come true in this world, I firmly believe that he went under the umbrella of God TenchiKanenoKami's prayer throughout this and another world.
Thank you for watching.

1/25:
I had a dream last night. There was a car in the dream, and its license number was 6333.
A car as a divine message means divine virtue according to my religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo. Also, 6 means divine virtue. 3 means a visit for prayer and worship.
I understood that this vision implied that a lot of people come under the divine virtue, and God TenchiKanenoKami wanted to bestow such divine virtue.
I had a thing bothering me yesterday. I stared into my mind, and found out my narrow mind. I became aware of the fact that I accepted the course of events, but I did not pray for those who went against me. This was because I was narrow-minded.
Then, I started to pray for those who went against me.
I understood that God TenchiKanenoKami informed me by this vision in advance that he wanted to bestow divine virtue when I had a broad mind to pray for those who went against me.
Thank you for watching.

1/24:
I realized that my friend in hospital went and was under the umbrella of God TenchiKanenoKami's prayer.
Whether he lives or dies, the result is a divine blessing.
I just pray that his training will be fulfilled.
There are three types of blessings.
One is a favorable blessing for a prayer which is received by one's request.
Another is a favorable blessing for a prayer which is received by one's reform of the mind.
The other is a blessing leading to divine virtue which is received by one's peaceful and joyful heart.
Kami-sama's and my focus is that people receive blessings leading to divine virtue, namely, true blessings with true faith.
First of all, to accept what happens to me as Kami-sama's working is essential.
Thank you for watching.

1/23:
When I was praying to God TenchiKanenoKami this early morning, I received a vision from Kami-sama. There were two prominent mountains. One was near here, and the other was far away from here. Nevertheless, two prominent mountains were connected out of sight.
I realized that the near mountain implied my friend dying of cancer, and the far mountain implied my missionary work in New York. This is because a mountain as a divine message means training according to my religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo.
I realized that my friend also was undergoing training for my missionary work in New York to make up for my shortage of training.
In some cases, receiving divine blessing needs corroborative training. I believe that he must be undergoing training as a foundation for the missionary work in New York.
Then, I have become convinced that I will succeed in the missionary work in New York thanks to his corroborative training.
Thank you for watching.

1/22:
When I visited my friend in hospital yesterday, his mind seemed not to be working properly because of strong medicine, and time for his sleeping seemed to increase because of it.
It seemed to me that it was hard anymore for him to make a sound decision.
I thought that practicing faith was important when all was fine.
Now he cannot hear me properly.
Even so, I am praying to God TenchiKanenoKami that Kami-sama works on his soul directly even while he is sleeping.
Even so, listening to teachings actually with a careful ear is more important.
I hope that all of you listen to teachings and receive true divine blessings.
Thank you for watching.

1/21:
My friend in hospital is dying of cancer. I think what God TenchiKanenoKami's wish for him is.
My focus is just my friend, but Kami-sama watches him and his surroundings.
His life and death involves not only him but also the people around him.
Kami-sama's plan is sophisticated and complicated, so I cannot understand it completely. I just trust in God TenchiKanenoKami's love. I trust that God TenchiKanenoKami has a plan for him.
I believe that it is the best way for him beyond the life and death that Kami-sama's wish for him is fulfilled.
Eventually, I came to pray that Kami-sama's wish for him will be fulfilled rather than that my friend lives longer with pain.
Now I am thinking about God TenchiKanenoKami's wish for him.
Please let's try to think about Kami-sama's wish for us.
Thank you for watching.

1/20:
What I realized by practicing faith is that I cannot do anything without receiving God TenchiKanenoKami's blessings.
I could not visit my friend in hospital yesterday because of accumulated snow and icy road although I intended to visit him. I became aware of the fact that I could not visit him without God TenchiKanenoKami's permission.
I realized that I have done anything until now thanks to Kami-sama's blessings.
I am here under God TenchiKanenoKami's prayer.
I am here in God TenchiKanenoKami's prayer.
The circumstance will variously change depending on the development of my spirit.
Similarly, your circumstance results from the development of your spirit.
The main focus of God TenchiKanenoKami is to cultivate one's spirit, so when you develop your spirit, your circumstance will be changed.
God TenchiKanenoKami does not inform you of his blessings directly.
We have to realize God TenchiKanenoKami's blessings and pick up the real meaning.
We have to understand a silent message from God TenchiKanenoKami.
Please let's realize that the course of events is a silent message from Kami-sama to cultivate our spirit.
Thank you for watching.

1/19:
Wa of Wagakokoro means peaceful. Ga of Wagakokoro means joyful. Kokoro of Wagakokoro means heart.
Therefore, Wagakokoro means a peaceful and joyful heart.
Anywhere, anytime, even in under any circumstance, to keep having a peaceful and joyful heart is important. The blessings come through such wagakokoro.
To have a peaceful and joyful heart, we need to have the spirit of earth which accepts even something that we do not like.
Please respect what happens to you. If you respect the course of events, the course of events will respect you.
To respect the course of events is to accept the course of events.
Please accept the course of events. If you accept the course of events, Kami-sama's wish will be fulfilled, and unexpected development will be made.
If you make an experiment on the course of events to accept it, you will receive actual proof.
As a starter of practicing wagakokoro, let's try to respect the course of events as God TenchiKanenoKami's working.
Thank you for watching.

1/18:
When practicing faith, a wonder timing or good timing will be generated. For instance, I visited my friend in hospital yesterday. I took an elevator to the third floor, and got off. Then, I came across his co-workers in front of the elevator. They said that my friend moved out to another hospital, so they were just carrying his last stuff out of the patients room.
I arrived there just in time.
If I had arrived there a few minutes later, I would have missed them and have lost my head in the empty room. I marvel at God TenchiKanenoKami's working and arrangement.
Please let's enjoy wonderfully good timing and Kami-sama's arrangement by practicing faith.
Thank you for watching

1/17:
I was informed by God TenchiKanenoKami that the communication with the heaven and earth does not need electric power.
For the communication between people who live far apart, they use tools like a telephone and need power sources.
However, for the communication between Kami-sama and a man, we do not need equipment and power sources.
The receiver of messages from Kaimi-sama is one's heart. One can receive messages from Kami-sama anywhere, anytime, even in a time of disaster without power sources as long as one strains one's heart to Kami-sama.
Please let's try to learn how to communicate with God TenchiKanenoKami.
Thank you for watching.

1/16:
Th important point in this teachings is that one feels that one's prayer has surely reached God TenchiKanenoKami.
Kami-sama sends signs to us to inform us of his acceptance.
You may miss those signs unless you watch carefully your surroundings.
There is certainly a sign from Kami-sama.
Please be careful to watch signs from Kami-sama not to pass over them.
Thank you for watching.

1/15:
I believe that this teachings is not only for a human relationship but also for every relationship.
For instance, when I visited my friend in hospital, he said that his illness was incurable. Also, he seemed to give up his life.
I said, "Do not give up. Please have hopes and think about becoming friendly with your cancer and getting along well with it."
It is better to become friendly with cancer rather than fight cancer. The cancer is not your enemy but a part of yours. Please think about live together with the cancer until the last moment.
If you have a heart to accept the cancer, the new world will be opened.
Please let's try to become friendly with the course of events.
Thank you for watching.

1/14:
I received a good email from my sister yesterday. It said that a certain believer's cancer cells became extinct. God TenchiKanenoKami informed me that this was "Hatsune" or "The first sound in the year."
On the other hand, my friend in hospital was suffering from terminal cancer.
God TenchiKanenoKami informed me of miso soup containing daikon radish about this in a vision.
Now I am thinking about its meaning.
Whatever the case, both of them are definitely manifestations of God TenchiKanenoKami's wish and love.
Thank you for watching.

1/13:
Yesterday I was invited to dinner at a seafood restaurant by my friend.
It had a nice view from the windows, and there were lots of customers in the restaurant.
I was surprised at something when I had food served to me.
The surprise was that the food was not so delicious. I wondered why such a lot of people came to this restaurant although the food was not good.
Then, I realized that this was a message from God TenchiKanenoKami. The message is that there are lots of people who have a faith although they cannot touch the true joy of faith.
Please let's try to practice faith with surprise and joy of faith.
Thank you for watching.

1/12:
I received a gift yesterday. It was the Japanese doll whose brand name was Yoshitoku Taiko.
Its name means good, virtue, big, light.
The doll's item name was Hatsune Hanazono Suwari. Hatsune means the first sound in the year. Hanazono Suwari means mediator in my translation.
I think that this doll indicates that I was allowed to serve as a mediator by God TenchiKanenoKami.
As a matter of fact, the day before yesterday I changed my mind about a matter.
Kami-sama's response is very quick.
I understood that my missionary work as a mediator will start soon.
Thank you for watching.

1/11:
When I read this teachings this morning, I remembered the occurrence that happened to me more than 10 years ago.
At that time my family's coming to America almost came to decision.
When I was anxious about whether I could get along or not in America, a believer gave me a miniature umbrella made out of paper by hand.
Then, I thought that God TenchiKanenoKami gave the umbrella to me, and I got a peace of mind because this faith can be propagated with just one umbrella.
I was thankful for Kami-sama's kindness.
Please let's feel Kami-sama's kindness.
Thank you for watching.

1/10:
Yesterday I visited my friend in hospital.
When I was talking with him, a staff brought a dinner for him.
He saw his dinner and complained that the food was not good.
By seeing his manner, I thought that this must be a message from God TenchiKanenoKami to me.
I stared into my inner heart. Then, I became aware of the fact that I did not gratefully accept the course of events which God TenchiKanenoKami gave me as nutrition of my spirit.
The food is nourishment for the human body, and the course of events is nourishment for the human spirit.
The food is provided for the human life, and the course of events is provided for the human happiness.
When we have the food and the course of events with tasting good, with delight, and with gratitude, we will get healthy and become happy.
Please let's try to have the food and the course of events with gratitude.
Thank you for watching.

1/9:
There are few orders from God TenchiKanenoKami such as " Do that," or "Do this,"but there is God TenchiKanenoKami's expectation for us such as "It will be better if you do that," or "It will be better if you do this."
Therefore, it is important to think about what Kami-sama's expectation is.
Also, there is no punishment from God TenchiKanenoKami.
There is only just God TenchiKanenoKami's love for people to become truly happy.
The true faith will start by believing in God TenchiKanenoKami's absolute love.
From that the care-free spirit, namely, the spirit of leaving it to Kami-sama will be born.
Please let's try to think what Kami-sama's expectation for me is.
Thank you for watching.

1/8:
The most important thing is that a man can be saved. It is not temporary salvation. It should be eternal salvation through this world and the next world.
This means that this salvation is not only the physical salvation but also the spiritual salvation.
You should receive divine blessings not only on your physical form but also on your spirit.
There are lots of people who do not recognize a divine blessing as a divine blessing.
God TenchiKanenoKami sometimes keeps a man in suspense.
This is because God TenchiKanenoKami's focus is not to give merely a blessing, but he focuses on cultivating one's spirit.
Therefore, someone receives a divine blessing soon, while another receive a divine blessing late depending on the condition of one's heart.
The point is to realize Kami-sama's grace.
Please let's try to focus on what God TenchiKanenoKami's focus is.
Thank you for watching.

1/7:
There is rhythm in the heaven and earth, and there is more than one rhythm.
There is a special rhythm for you. It is the rhythm to lead you into true happiness. When you get the rhythm of the heaven and earth, you can enjoy your life and be led into true happiness.
For this purpose, you need to practice catching and feeling the rhythm of the heaven and earth.
This practice is to respect the course of events. When, you respect the course of events, you come to be able to catch the rhythm of the heaven and earth.
Please let's try to leave it to the course of events to feel the rhythm of the heaven and earth.
Thank you for watching.

1/6:
The day before yesterday, when I visited my friend in hospital, he already had a visitor. Then, he was asking the visitor to buy and bring a clock at the next visit. The visitor said, "Tomorrow I will not come, so next time I will buy and bring a big clock."
Then, yesterday I visited him in hospital again. He said to me, "Look, look at a wall." I was surprised at finding a big clock on the wall, so I asked him, "Did the yesterday's visitor come and bring it?" He, replied, "No, not yet, but a staff in the hospital brought it and hung it on the wall."
I felt grateful, When I felt a reply from God TenchiKanenoKami.
Kami-sama bestows a proactive blessing on us to please us when we turn to Kami-sama.
Please let's try to turn to Kami-sama and to receive divine blessings.
Thank you for watching.

1/5:
The world of this faith is the world transcending common sense.
This is because God TenchiKanenoKami's working transcends common sense.
One can not receive true divine blessing unless one takes one's common sense off.
This does not mean lack of common sense or beyond common sense.
God TenchiKanenoKami's instruction will start with practicing taking one's common sense off.
Therefor, we will be able to receive extreme divine blessings.
Please let's try to take our common sense off.
Thank you for watching.

1/4:
I have good news.
From today, I will enter a new world.
I received news from Kami-sama in my heart.
Also, you will enter the new world from now on.
The world is the world of divine blessings.
You will be able to receive easily God TenchiKanenoKami's blessing.
You will receive a proof of the blessing for your wish and prayer.
With that, you will feel Kami-sama around you and close to you.
Please let's receive the proof of the blessing for our prayers.
Thank you for watching.

1/3:
What one should realize by practicing faith is that "I do not have any power."
I cannot do anything unless I receive divine blessings. Also, this is what God TenchiKanenoKami wants people to know.
One cannot help but rely on Kami when one becomes aware of one's powerlessness.
One comes to pray to Kami from the bottom of the heart.
Then, the relationship between God TenchiKanenoKami and a man will deepen.
The pipe connected between Kami and a man will become the large-bore one.
The bond between Kami and a man will become stronger.
When people get stuck, it is the time when one realize one's powerlessness.
From there, the new way will be opened.
Please may you receive divine blessings!
Thank you for watching.

1/2:
In this faith there is not a give and take system.
God TenchiKanenoKami likes a give and give system without expecting any return because the spirit of heaven is the heart of unconditional gifts.
If you expect any return for your goodwill, it is not the spirit of heaven.
You should do anyone a favor without expecting any return. Such a heart resonates with God TenchiKanenoKami's heart. When your heart resonates with him, God TenchiKanenoKami's rejoicing is reflected in your heart, which is a true blessing.
Please let's try to give and give without expecting any return.
Thank you for watching.

1/1:
A happy new year to you.
May you receive more and more divine blessings!
I am praying for you that you can receive divine blessings by practicing the spirit of the pine.
Thank you for watching.

12/31:
From the way toward blessings to the way toward divine virtue.
I received a divine message which showed that the way toward divine virtue is different from the way toward blessings.
If you receive a blessing in the near term, it does not mean that you receive divine virtue. Sometimes one receive a blessing; instead, one passes up the opportunity of receiving divine virtue.
We need to consider which way will enchant God TenchiKanenoKami more.
Please let's try to focus on divine virtue instead of blessings.
Thank you for watching.

12/30:
This early morning while praying for my friend, I received a vision from Kami-sama which showed a Chinese character "Cho" that means "super" or "exceeding" in English.
He has been in a hospital for a month. I visit him in the hospital every day.
Sometimes he seemed well, but sometimes he seemed bad, so there are no prospects for discharge from hospital.
From the vision I think that he needs a super or exceeding divine blessing.
I am grateful to receive the divine vision from Kami-sama.
I am praying anew for his recovery thanks to the exceeding divine blessing.
Thank you for watching.

12/29:
It is a kind of fate that you are watching this video.
I am praying to God TenchiKanenoKami that those who watch this video can receive divine blessings.
If you merely know and understand teachings by listening or reading them, you may not receive divine blessings.
You need to practice them to receive surely divine blessings. This does not mean that you need your physical action although the physical action is an expression of your heart.
You need spiritual action to receive divine blessings. You need to renew your inner heart.
God TenchiKanenoKami is watching your heart. Your spiritual renovation is more important than your physical action.
When your heart is renewed, you can receive divine blessings.
Please try to make an experiment, and you will get an actual proof of it.
Thank you for watching.

12/28:
Everyone can practice faith beyond borders and race.
People can practice faith everywhere, not only in the church but also in the world.
At the workplace, at the school, at home, in the hospital, in the restaurant, or even in the car, people can practice faith anywhere.
One's heart heads for God TenchiKanenoKami, which is called "Practicing faith."
Practicing faith is to look toward God TenchiKanenoKami and to look toward one's inside of heart.
Please, let's try to look toward Kami and your inner heart.
Thank you for watching.

12/27:
Practicing faith is to renew oneself in spirit.
If you want to change another person, you may be getting stressful.
To change another person is harder than to change oneself.
It is easier to change yourself than to change another person.
When you want to change another person, it must be the time when you need to change yourself because another person is a mirror of your heart.
You cannot see the inside of your heart, so you need to watch it through another person. Another person is the mirror that reflects your heart.
When we become aware of the truer truth, we should gracefully change ourselves from the truth to the truer truth.
Please let's try to renew yourself in spirit.
Thank you for watching.

12/26:
Practicing faith is to practice being thankful.
When you practice faith, you will receive actual proof.
The world of blessings will be expanded by practicing faith.
For example, blessings which you receive will increase.
Unexpected events will happen to you.
When you practice faith, you will realize that this is a blessing, and that was a blessing. You will recognize what you did not think as a blessing as a blessing.
If you feel a pain, when you think that it is a proof of being alive, the heart of gratitude will be born.
Please let's try to find a grateful point even in a dark place.
Thank you for watching.

12/25:
We need to shift our focus of faith from self-satisfaction to mutual-satisfaction between God TenchiKanenoKami and us.
We need to practice such faith by which not only is God TenchiKanenoKami saved, but also people can make a living.
This means that we need to shift the wish from our wish to God TenchiKanenoKami's wish.
We should pray that God TenchiKanenoKami's wish will be fulfilled rather than our wish will come true.
This is because God TenchiKanenoKami's wish is much bigger than our wishes, and when his wish is fulfilled, all people will become happy.
We need to receive such blessing that God TenchiKanenoKami bestows on us willingly rather than reluctantly.
To do so, we need to know what God TenchiKanenoKami's wish is.
Please let's try to know God TenchiKanenoKami's wish.
Thank you for watching.

12/24:
The spirit of earth or the spirit of the soil is a passive spirit.
The spirit of the soil fertilizes the spirit.
In the poor soil, plants do not grow well, but in the rich soil they grow very well.
Likewise, blessings do not ripen well in the poor heart, but they ripen very well in the rich heart.
Practicing the spirit of the soil cultivates your heart and enriches your heart.
Practicing the spirit of earth makes your heart rich.
The richer your heart becomes, the richer the divine blessing becomes.
The bigger your heart becomes, the bigger the divine blessing becomes.
Practicing the spirit of the soil is to practice becoming fool.
For those who seek to be smart, to be bossy, or to become a winner, the practice of the spirit of the soil may be hard.
Unless one tries to become fool, it may be hard to make the spirit of the soil one's way of life.
Please let's try to become fool.
Thank you for watching.

12/23:
Having self-interest and selfish desires tends to block true salvation.
A lot of human problems result from one's personal greed.
When you abandon your selfish desires, your most distress will disappear.
We need training to throw our self-interests and selfish desires away.
For example, your donation to charities or churches is one of practices to abandon your self-interest.
If you give a donation to a charity for helping others, it may work as a practice of abandoning self-interest.
On the other hand, if you make a donation to a charity for tax purposes, it will not work as an unselfish action.
It is important that the action has been done from what kind of heart.
Please let's try to practice leaving self-interest and selfish desires.
Thank you for watching.

12/22:
Physical salvation is important, but spiritual salvation is more important.
Physical salvation is a blessing, but spiritual salvation is more blessed.
Religious faith is not for receiving a miracle, but religious faith is for touching God's deep heart.
A miraculous cure is a mere entrance to form a bond with God TenchiKanenoKami.
God TenchiKanenoKami's wish is to have a strong bond with you.
In most cases, when people merely receive a miracle, they feel grateful for getting it, but their spirit is not cultivated sufficiently.
All is done without their touching God TenchiKanenoKami's deep heart.
When one continues to face hardship, it is the time when one can touch God TenchiKanenoKami's deep heart.
When one touches God TenchiKanenoKami's deep sensitivity, one can receive salvation from the bottom of one's heart.
This salvation is the eternal salvation beyond life and death.
Please let's try to touch God TenchiKanenoKami's deep heart.

Prayer is important, but practicing faith is more important.
Prayer has power, but cultivating spirit has more power.
Practicing faith is cultivating one's spirit.
We can not receive the divine virtue only by praying for others.
We can receive the divine virtue by cultivating our spirit.
It is too hard to explain the divine virtue in words.
My religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo was a man who received the divine virtue. We were taught what the divine virtue was through him.
We felt the divine virtue through his attitude, behavior, and teachings.
Rev. Soichiro Otsubo had communicated with God TenchiKanenoKami at every moment.
Then, a lot of people around him were saved by his divine virtue.
Please let's try to receive the divine virtue.
Thank you for watching.

12/20:
In order to receive divine blessings, first we need to prepare a receiving container.
I had a divine dream last night. In the dream I had a container and poured water into it, but I could not accumulate water because it was broken.
Water means a blessing in a divine dream since water is a blessing from the heaven and earth.
Therefore, this dream indicates that the receiving container is important to receive divine blessings. The receiving container is one's heart for people. We need to make our heart available to receive divine blessings.
The heart which can receive divine blessings is one's peaceful and joyful heart.
Please let's try to have a peaceful and joyful heart.
Thank you for watching.

12/19:
A man can help others in need.
How do you help others?
A man can help others by money or goods.
One can help others by a kindly word or kindness.
Also, people can help others by sympathy or compassion.
However, in this faith people can be saved by divine virtue.
People can be relieved by God TenchiKanenoKami's great holy work.
Moreover, people can be released by teachings someone has ever heard of before.
God TenchiKanenoKami never gives up on a man unless he leaves Kami.
Please let's receive God TenchiKanenoKami's blessings.
Thank you for watching.

12/18:
One of practicing faith is to utilize everything.
In the beginning, let's try to utilize dead space or objects.
Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us to respect what happens to us as divine working.
To respect the course of events is to make the most of the course of events.
For example, when I brought the garbage to the trash area of the apartment a few days ago, I found an old LCD monitor of a computer in the recyclable waste. Then, I picked it up and tried it, but it did not work. I thought that a previous owner dumped it since it did not work properely. Then, I checked the connection. Eventually, I found the reason why it did not work properly. This was because a pin of the connector cable was bent. I replaced the bad cable with another good one. Then, the LCD monitor returned to life.
Now I am using the revived monitor as the secondary monitor.
We can revive a dead object with a little ingenuity.
Please let's try to make use of everything including what happens to us.
Thank you for watching.

12/17:
The basic concept of human life is that a man is given his life by God TenchiKanenoKami. A man cannot live as he tries to live, and one cannot die as he tries to die. To live and also to die need permission of God TenchiKanenoKami. We cannot control our life and death.
Even if a man tries to understand it or to conquer it, there are lots of spots where a man cannot enter.
On the other hand, a human has lots of choices which the soil does not have. For example, the soil cannot refuse to receive the rain, but a man has a choice to accept it or not. There is no choice for plants, but a human has a lot of options.
Something which you choose among your options is more valuable rather than something imposed because it is chosen by your will.
You can deny having the spirit of the soil.
However, when you choose to have the spirit of the soil by your free will, God TenchiKanenoKami will be pleased and bestow blessings on you.
Please try to practice to have the spirit of the soil.
Thank you for watching.

12/16:
What do you think the end of your life is?
Is your purpose of your life to become a rich person, to become a famous person, or to seek status?
My goal of my life is to purify and polish my spirit.
It is quite obvious that we cannot carry these things such as money, fame, and status to the next world with us.
What we can bring with us to the next world is our spirit, soul, or heart.
We were born in this world to purify and polish our heart and spirit to prepare for the next world.
What happens to us every day is a material to polish our spirit.
Please try to change your focus from physical matters to spiritual matters. When you do so, your new life will start.
Please try to think about your end of your life.
Thank you for watching.

12/15:
One purpose of practicing faith is to come to be trusted by God TenchiKanenoKami.
Then, Kami needs to try to test you whether you are qualified to be trusted or not before trusting in you.
It seems to me that we need to stick to our trust in God TenchiKanenoKami no mater what before being trusted by him.
Sometimes our matter goes to the left although we pray to God that it goes to the right, or the matter goes to the right though we pray that it goes to the left.
In such a case, Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us that the time when our wish does not come true is the time when God TenchiKanenoKami's wish for us comes true.
Rev. Soichiro Otsubo accepted anything as a manifestation of divine love when his wish did not come true, so he stuck to his trust in God TenchiKanenoKami no matter what.
After that, beyond human understanding, he became to be trusted by God TenchiKanenoKami.
Please try to practice to stick to your trust in God TenchiKanenoKami before being trusted by Kami.
Thank you for watching.

12/14:
The essence of Konkokyo faith is in the Tenchi Kakitsuke which God TenchiKanenoKami instructed Living God Konko Daijin to write down and to hand over to worshippers as a reminder of faith.
The Tenchi Kakitsuke is translated into English as the Divine Reminder.
Also, its contents have been translated into English, and there have been several versions of translations depending on translators.
This is the official version of the Divine Reminder in English.
In Japanese:

Ikigami Konko Daijin
Tenchi Kaneno Kami isshin ni negae
Okage wa WaGaKokoro ni ari
Kongetsu konnichi de tanomei

12/13:
Today I was taught in my dreams that punctuality is important.
I had two divine dreams. In the first dream, I was rushing to an airport by taxi in time for my airplane's departure. In the other dream, I was going to be late for the first day of my new job.
It is not easy to receive divine blessings for those who are not punctual.
This is because the spirit of the universe is precise, and the spirit of sun and moon is the persistent spirit on time.
My religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo said frequently that we should train ourselves to arrive for an appointment ten minutes early.
Please try to train yourself to be in time and to be punctual for your appointment.
Thank you for watching.

12/12:
Last night I received a long divine dream which indicated that sincerity is more important for faith and people.
God TenchiKanenoKami is watching the movement of our mind rather than our behavior. God TenchiKanenoKami penetrates one's hypocrisy, but sometimes he uses even pretenders to develop other people's faith.
The movement of mind resonates with God TenchiKanenoKami directly.
God TenchiKanenoKami directly stares our heart and spirit.
Please keep in mind that our heart and spirit affect divine virtue directly.
Thank you for watching.

12/11:
Please practice having a broad mind.
Though it seems to me that most religions teach us about the spirit of heaven, my religious master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo frequently taught us about the spirit of earth. The earth accepts anything even dirty water without a word and makes them manure to grow beautiful flowers or delicious fruit.
When we cannot accept something which happens to us, we need to watch ourselves intently. Then, we will find our small mind. Most fighting results from a small mind each other, especially in human relationships. When we have a broad mind, we can decrease conflict.
Let's start to practice having a broad mind to practice the sprit of earth.
Thank you.
