MY NEW LIFE with BIBLE

✝Top Page
It was unforgettable on January 30, 2019. I had been suffering from my own chronic diseases and coldness in those days. But just on that day, my condition was relatively good so that I could decide to begin searching Protestant churches. As for the reason why I stuck to Protestant churches, maybe it's related to my study of the Puritan Revolution in the past.Anyway, while searching many churches without any goal, I found 'Lifehouse Tokyo' by chance.
Since I closed my trading company because of my diseases, I'd never spoken English to anybody for around eleven years. (Since then, maybe I'd been suffering from something mental, apart from my real physical diseases.) 'LifehouseTokyo'is a biligual church.That's why I decided to try attending this church on the spot, I feel so now.
As soon as I decided so, I tried to attend the chapel on January 30(begining time/19:15).Then, after singing worshipping songs with a band all together, regarding the way of their preaching ,it's like that first of all, an Australian pastor partly preaches in English, and soon after that, another pastor translates the part into Japanese. Repeating its pattern, they went ahead with their preaches. And finally, all of us prayed God several things, in Jesus' name. It was really a nice exrerience for me.Then I felt this kind of chapel may mentally grow myself in my way of life. Just after ending the chapel, some people friendly talked to me, and I could have greetings with several pastors. It reminded me of my past life time when I'd lived feeling a fellowdhip with some people one another.Just as I explained my diseases to several people, they prayed God for me to be healed, putting their one hands on my shoulders seriously. I remember then I was really happy feeling their kindness enough.
A little before on my back home, at the exit of the hall, I found one lady delivering "New Testament Bible" for nothing. Then, although I hesitated receiving it a little bit (as I thought the Bible is very precious and actually its volume is more than 400 pages), I dared to get it. As a result,I've come to get 'religious devotion' for the first time ever in my life. Now I really thank the chance itself and the Lifehouse's staff.(Notes: In case of receiving the Bible, you need to present your name and address in advance.)
Looking back upon then, I'm sure then I'd been in conditions of rock-bottom both physically and mentally, I couldn't work for anything enough against my will, suffering from my diseases. Maybe then, I just wanted to rely on whatever anything strong, I think so. Now I feel that"lifehouse Tokyo"is something like 'rescue organization'for me.(Sorry, but during this pandemic, now I don't know still whether the free delivery of the Bible is posible or not.Pleaseconfirm itdirectly to Lifehouse.)
Then from the next day, I began reading "New Testament Bible". First of all, I read both of English and Japanese chapters one after the other. And after all, I could finish three or four chapters each, everyday. While reading it seriously, I'd come to find myself gerting deep into the contents gradually.As a result,since I began reading the Bible on January 31, 2019, I finished it on May 4, 2019. As for my impression then, even I who had no religious devotion, could smoothly understand its contents. Especially I was really impressed at every truth by Jesus' teachings that seemed to be right logically and ethically. Frankly speaking, just after finishing it, I really thought I maybe able to lead my remaining life with happiness, if only I can live following Jesus' teachings completely. And just then, I made up my mind to believe all of his teachings continually from then on... It's very simple, but actually was the beginning of my faithful life.
While my reading the New Testament, my views of life and death has changed naturally and gradually.For Christian, the end of the world on earth is just the beginning of 'eternal life' in heaven. Now I who can think so from the bottom of my heart, am supremely happy! Joy got by going to heaven with an eternal life is much better for me, than fearing death on earth. Maybe I think, only those who finished up the Bible will be able to understand this kind of sense.
Now I've begun my fourth reading of the New Testament.(Almost every publication I read is different.) Whichever bible I read, its contents are really proper, I felt so then. And whenever I'm living following the teachings obediently, I can curiously feel 'peace' in my heart. Now most of us have suffered from 'pandemic', 'conflicts', 'famine', 'natural disasters','racism' and so on, worldwide. Just in times of 'uncertainty' and 'difficulty', we really need "faith to God" as greatest power to make our selves stronger and healthier both mentally and physically, I'm sure so.
Although 30 years have passed since I fought two kinds of bad collagen diseases, but now I have lived peaceful days through, with God and Jesus. Whenever my condition is no good or I feel something uneasy, I pray God my desires to remove them on the spot right then. Recently, somehow I've come to feel my heart peaceful, soon after praying God something seriously. Recently I feel like I've gradually deepened my faith to God up to now. Actually if we believe in God's presence and Jesus' teachings completely and live just following them obediently, we can deepen our faith to God absolutely, I think so.
If you have any uneasiness or disorder both mentally and physically, I confidently recomend you read the New Testament Bible once at least.('Lifehouse Tokyo' to which I belong, gives out their self-published Bible free of charge.) I pray for God for you to find somrthing like your origin of point through the New Testament Bible. (In case of receiving the bible, you need to register your name and address, and so on.)
Finally, if you agree at all the teachings in the Bible, I recommend you to enter your favorite church by all means. For example, our church, 'Lifehouse Tokyo' is ready for some meeting places called 'Connect Group' that is open to deepen and confirm our faith to God with each other as well as worship service and preaching by pastors. For Christians, 'fellowship' is very important for deepening our bond and togehterness. Now unfortunately, in this coronavirus pandemic, at the moment, all the events should be held in on-line style only. But I'm really sure that these two hours on Sundays wwould be very meaningful times for you, so please feel free to join us! (August 27'21)

"It's been a new year that is about to be a new year of turmoil."
Hello,I'm Mimo in charge of this site.Already it's too late, but "Happy New Year!" Last year was a trial year for me due to accidents, fractures, and poor health due to my chronic diseases, but just thanks to God, I was able to live a peaceful life in general. I really thank God(^▽^)/
It's been almost a year and a half since I started going toKoinonia ChristianChurch. Now that I'm completely used to this church, now I'm looking forward to going to there every Sunday. I actively participate in lunch parties and vwrious events, and I have a good time with everyone as well as messages.
However, what I'm worried about now is that 2026 has begun without stopping the division due to stagflation and economic inequality around the world. In addition, I am also concerned about the rise of conservative states that sdvocate "country-first principle" and "immigrant restrictions".
What we Christians can do is to strive for as many people as possible to be saved with "eternal life" through "evangelism". In addition, we must expand the idea of "Love your neighbor countries as you love your own country.", just like "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." I think that's what God wishes.
Let's live a sacred life together!!

✝1:My Latest Affairs on January 19'26
Hello! For me, last year was a year like a bad year, with "fall accidents" and "rib fractures", "poor health due to chronid diseases" and "excerbation of chronic back pain". Even so, I'm ra little elievedthat I was able to welcome the new year without worrying about anything except for things related to chronic diseases.
I wanted to make this year a good year, so I prayedmanythings to God from the beginning of this year. Basically, my main prayor was for the improvement of my chronic diseases, but in addition, I also prayed for the realization of employment. I hope it will go in a good direction somehow.
As usual, Bible reading continues every day, one chapter each in English and Japanese. Every time I read it, I really feel there are new discoveries and understandings, even if it is the same scripture, it's sometthing I'm grateful for. perhaps, the state of my mind and body at that time may also have some influence on it.
As for my personal goal this year, as before, I will continue to "praise and pray God every morning", "read the Bible every day" and "participate in Sunday services" as triune habits. In addition, I'd like to contribute to the propagation of the gospel and to become good at digital drawing Anyway I'll do my best!
I plan to take care of my health more this year than ever before.
TI look forward to your support from now on!

✝2：Some of My Journals
◆Mark:2-17& on June 18'20 : (NLT) (No.37)
"Healthy people don't need a doctor―sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.
"Not to Fall into a Trap of Self-confidence"
Whoever has too much self-confidence, cannot regret and repent of anything . As a result, such people not only stop their mental growth, but also come to get ignored by anybody while needing mmore rescue for themselves. On the contrary, whoever has even a little sense of 'sins' on their own selves, can leave the chance of repentance to them, and bring them back to God's place. Jesus ironically told the meanings to Pharisees as a parable, very well. I like this part!
◆Psalms:34-14 on February 14'23 : (NLT)(No.38)
Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
In this turbulent era of "conflicts" and "wars", I thought that this is the simple and ultimate "truth" that God wants. On the other hand, if we abandon "I" who only aims to satisfy personal needs such as "lust", "arrogance", and "greed", and under "altruism", if we hope that everyone will be happy, there should be no "strife". But unfortunately in fact, I realized again that in human society, it's impossible to build the foundation forever. Ithink what we can do is to strive to "propagate the gospel" so that as many people as possible can receive "eternal life"...

✝3：A Little Bit From Worldly Viewpoints (February 11'26)
■Intrigue and Hope in Fight Against Cancer
(from New York Times・Weekly on February 8'26)
As a researcher at Duke, Dr. Patz wanted to figure out why cancers that look similar on scans would, on inspection, behave so differently, some indolent, and some aggressive.
His team looked in the patients' stored serum, the clear yellow parrt of blood without the red blood cells.He found the clue in an antibody, Gt103. After studying the serums of several hundred patients, Dr. Patz proposed that the presence of GT103 was a sign that a lung cancer patient might "do much much if they have early stage disease."
It looked as though the sntibody could prevent cancer cells from using a molecular sgield, complement factor H, against the immune system.The antibody blocks the shield. When the Gt103 antibody is available, an arm of the immune system kills the cancer cells.
The antibody was found to work in animals, too. Dr. Patz lefy Duke to start his company.
And some staff conducted the study. It included 31 patients whose standard lung cancer treatments had failed.
The tumors didn't shrink, but they stopped growing, at least temporarily, in one-third of the patients. t
The team combined the antibody with a immunotherapy drug made by Merck and sold as "Keytruda".
The reseachers hoped the two drugs would complement each other.
But it's difficult to know if it worked. If a significant percentage of patients had been cured, it would be obvious. But that did not happen. Tumors seemed to stabilize in most, but some then grew again.
But there was an astonishing outcome in one of Dr. Mamdani's patients.
His tumor, she said, completely disappeared. For two years now, scans have not found any evidence of disease.
What is needed now is a much larger study, researchers said.
"We have to study hundreds of patients," Dr. Simon said.
(My Prayer)
The Father, my God in heaven,
I was able to greet the morning peacefully as well, today.
This is also due to your guidance.
I really thank you for loving me.
I sincerely pray for the glory and development of your kingdom.
In the United States, an antibody called GT103 is currently attracting attention in the form of playing a role in the cutting-edge treatment of cancer.
It has the effect of blocking the harmful effects of cancer cells, and the development of a new drug using this antibody is expected. The road is still halfway through...
Our dear God, please guide the researchers involved in this research so that they can develop the drug as soon as possible, just to save the lives of all patients and animals with cancer.
Please give them enough power to realize it.
I offer this prayer in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ,
Amen.

☕４：Break Time on January 24'26
Today, when I start writing this page, January 24th is actually my birthday. I'm 64 years old today, and I'm completely old because I have an intractable disease. Even so, there are 5 things that I continue to do every day for my health.
The first is to get on the "body composition meter" every morning after defecation and make records. The items that I pay special attention to are "weight", "body fat percentage", "muscle mass", "basal metabolism", "leg and waist age", "body shape measurement", and "body age".
In my case, "leg and waist age" is always 75 year old↓. It is likely that my chronic diseeases also have significant impacts.(total self-scoring = 60 points)
The second is squats in the mornig(20 times x 3 sets). (self-scoring = 95%/ But now I've refrained from doing the exercise because of my backache.)
The third is walking(more than 9000 steps/day).(self-scoring ≒ 65 points)
The fourth is a regular life(3 meals a day/within 1680kcal), but in this regard, my overeating has contnued, as a result, my weight tends to increase.(currently around 59kg/doctor's recommended weight = 57~60kg/self-goal = 56~57kg)
The fifth is is good sleep, but this is not going well, I can't sleep soundly, and I can't get rid of fatigue...(self-scoring = 30~40 points)
Well, I will continue to work out various breakthroughs and deal with the challenges!
If you have any good ideas, please contact me!

✝５：Editor's Notes
I'm sorry that the upload was much later than the scheduled date again this time.
If we look around the world, stagflation(high prices during a recession) and the gap and division between the rich and the poor are progressing.
Riots have also occurred in some countries.
However, it goes without saying that there is nothing in this world that can be resolved by conflict. It only creates and winners and losers. And that grudge will remain somewhere. We humans have proven it many times throughout our past history.
Because it is this extremely dangerous and uncertain era called the end of the world, I'd like to integrate into societies while always valuing love, patience and courage, compassion, cooperation and peace with the teachings of God's righteousness and truth, as the support of my heart.
Thank you for your continued support and let's live a godly life with each other!!
I would appreciate it if you could give me your opinions and impressions from the following. Thank you(^▽^)/
