All of the Holy Spirit’s work is normal, and is realistic.

When you read God’s words and when you pray,

inside you are bright and steadfast,

the external world cannot disturb you;

inside, you are willing to love God,

are willing to engage with positive things,

and you detest the evil world.

This is living within God.

It is not, as people say, experiencing great enjoyment—

such talk is not realistic.

Today, everything should begin from actuality.

Everything God does is practical.

In your experiences

you should pay attention to knowing God in a practical way,

and seeking the footprints of God’s work

and the means by which the Holy Spirit moves and enlightens man.

If you eat and drink God’s words, and pray,

and cooperate in a more practical way,

assimilating what was good from times gone by,

and rejecting what was bad like Peter,

if you listen with your ears and observe with your eyes,

and often pray and ponder in your heart,

and do all you can to cooperate with God’s work,

then God will surely guide you.

If you listen with your ears and observe with your eyes,

and often pray and ponder in your heart,

and do all you can to cooperate with God’s work,

then God will surely guide you.
