Are you trying to figure out your true purpose in life? What if your purpose is bigger than success or people’s approval? 

While hanging out at Shichirigahama Beach, Hiroto bumps into Hanaya. As they chat, Hiroto opens up about the pressure he's feeling about his future. Hanaya shares her thoughts and encourages him to think about the bigger questions in life. This video dives into their honest conversation and offers some biblical wisdom, exploring how finding God’s will can help you lead a meaningful life beyond what society expects and short-lived achievements. It’s a call to shift your focus from fleeting goals to something eternal.

Bonus note:

Kevin Zadai shares a supernatural encounter with Jesus in 1992 when he had an out-of-body experience during a routine surgery:

When I met Jesus, He said I want to work with you. He said we are going to rule and reign together, shoulder-to-shoulder for Eternity. He said this life down here is to develop you for your next position. He said you're qualifying down on the earth in this very short amount of time. Then at that point, He took His thumbnail and sliced down through a big long timeline that was in light. And He said that's 10,000 years on the timeline of Eternity. It was just this little slit. He said it was the extension of man. And to me, my life on Earth in that extension with respect to Eternity seemed really insignificant.

However, He said you're qualifying for your next position. So whatever you do down here, with your talents and everything you were given, whatever you did with that, was then placed in your account in heaven, not in a monetary way. But that's where you entered into the Kingdom to work at your next position. And it was interesting because you would think well we're all equal you know, we all get the same thing, we all get eternal life, we all have the same position in Christ and all that. 

But what it is, it has to do with that parable of talents. It had to do with the fact that you were given a certain amount and then there was a congruent reward based on each individual on what they had done. But the wood, hay, and stubble were burned up. So what was not of the Spirit, what was not of the Lord, was burnt up. Paul said that some people will go through the fire and there'll be nothing. There'll be no rewards. There'll be nothing left. But they will escape through the fire. They will make it to Heaven but with no rewards.

As we see the darkness and confusion of the nations increasing, we should behold the Lord. To be the light, we must have our focus on the Light. This does not mean that we will not be aware of the darkness and even have an understanding of the schemes of the devil. God’s Holiness is His awesome strength and His unique beauty, His unwavering dependability and His reigning power. Only a Holy God like this can ensure the safety of His people. Only a Holy God can promise that all things will be put in order. Only a Holy God can assure us every evil and sadness will be defeated.

Feeling disillusioned or worn out by life's battles?

Two high school girls, Hanaya and Yuri, roll out a short message for those struggling with discouragement, confusion, and spiritual warfare. Don't give up. Fight back with faith and truth. Get fired up, stay unshakable, and become a rebel of hope. Watch now and join the resistance against discouragement, anxiety, and fear!

Additional notes:

Satan tries to create an altered reality by cloaking himself in information projection to engineer insecurity and anxiety in you. He wants to fragment you. He knows your trigger points to put you into a tailspin. His minions have studied you. You have become predictable.

The strategy is to trick your mind to convince you of something and give a narrative that diminishes who you really are. That’s the warfare. He wants to discourage and wear you out so that you will not be effective. He is trying to get you to opt out by presenting lies and observed facts as reality.

Every trigger point succeeds when you don’t feel loved and validated. The temptation is to back off and self-medicate your trauma, rejection, or frustration by running to an addiction. We get disillusioned because we do not perceive the truth in its pure form. We don’t see ourselves in the mirror of God’s Word.

To live by the Spirit of God takes readjusting and overriding of your mental and emotional realm. Don’t settle for being a low-watt light. Jesus said a disciple who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. We lose the edge to improve when we just want to maintain, but maintaining is of the devil.

Walk in harmony with the Holy Spirit. He reveals the truth (true reality). He shows prophetic glimpses concerning your call and assignment. If things take time, stay in there. Some things have to do with the convergence of times and seasons of God in your life. Don’t drown six feet from your destination.

We miss the supernatural because we are looking for the spectacular. If you frame your mind right and listen to the Holy Spirit no matter what’s going on in your everyday life, you will come out fine. Don’t fret. Don’t allow anything to fragment you.

The Christian journey of becoming is an invitation to behold the glory of the Lord, rather than to obsess over ourselves and what the world thinks of us. In this reflection, Hanaya wrestles with the slow process of transformation—learning to rise above self-focus and worldly distractions in order to behold something far greater.

Beholding is becoming. If there is any key to maturity, it is that. Behold your God in Jesus Christ. Because to see that for what it really is, will renew your mind and transform your life and produce unending worship.
— John Piper

And we all, with unveiled faces, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
— 2 Corinthians 3:18

The Greek word translated “transformed” in this verse is the same word that we translate as “metamorphosis” in English. This is the process of change from which a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. The caterpillar is a worm that must crawl on the earth, being conformed to the contours of the earth. Then it goes into a cocoon where it is transformed. However, one of the biggest tests the new creature will face is breaking out of the cocoon, but it is this great struggle that strengthens it so that it can flap its large wings when it is free. 

We too go through a great struggle to be transformed into the new creation we are called to be. Breaking free of the old self is the greatest struggle of all. It too is designed by God to strengthen us so that we can soar high above the earth to the heavenly places we are called to abide in. We must not waste our trials. We must not run from the struggle if we are going to become strong enough to be what we are called to be. 

Will our hearts yield to the process to enter the cocoon of change and be launched out to fly?

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
— Colossians 3:2 | Romans 12:2

On a school trip, Yuri and her classmate Akio get into a discussion about God. Akio dismisses God’s existence. But Yuri challenges his belief in evolution with reasonable logic, critical thinking, and evidence for intelligent design. Akio also raises the question of Hell being unfair.

Can Something Come From Nothing?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47aRphfPhYc

A lot of atheists belittle beliefs that are based on faith. Yet when I look around the world, I find atheism requires much more of a leap of faith. When I come across a finely prepared meal on a table, it would be quite a leap of faith to believe that nothing put it there. And it would be far more reasonable to believe that something must have put it there. So it is with all of creation.
— Matthew Warner

If Evolution is true, then that means, you are merely a molecule in motion dancing to your own DNA. That all you are is matter. There is nothing spiritual about you. You have no soul. There is no objective right or wrong.
— Mark Spence

Atheists have an active belief system with views concerning origins (that the universe and life arose by natural processes); no life after death; the existence of God; how to behave while alive; and so much more. Honest atheists will admit their worldview is a faith. Atheism is a religion! While atheism is a blind faith, its followers will still cry out, “We are not part of a religion!” Why do they plead this? First, if atheism were identified as a religion, atheists fear that their views might get kicked out of public places, like government-run schools. Second, these secularists will be less likely to be able to deceive children into thinking that their teachings (supposedly “neutral”) are not in conflict with the religious beliefs of students.

A flashback into a diary entry written by Hanaya’s mother during her early years as a young single mom. In a quiet, sacred moment, she pours out a prayer over little Hanaya—committing to raise her not by the world’s standards, but as the Lord’s girl.

Have you ever wondered why some teens, even at 16 or 17, already walk with a depth of faith and maturity that seems far beyond their years? Though still growing, many of them carry a strong sense of identity, values, and purpose grounded in God. It’s rare—but it’s often rooted in an intentional environment created by parents, or a single parent, for their children’s Godly growth. They authentically model their own walk with Jesus to their kids.

God is after the gaze of this generation. He is after their focus. So, as a parent, how do you help your kids perceive Jesus not as a vague murky distant concept, but as a living and dynamic presence in everything they do? What are your priorities when you pray for your kids? What do you think matters the most from an eternal perspective?

If they learn to engage with God early and discern the voice of the Holy Spirit, they’ll be equipped to make wise choices, resist pitfalls, and boldly represent Jesus wherever they go.

We don’t train ourselves so we don’t train our children. Everything you believe in has to be practical and applicable for your children. That means you yourself need to be fully convinced. Teach them how to engage with the Lord. For your kids, you should always present the supernatural to them. You should always give them the alternative to ask God for help first. Teach them to pray first. Teach them to believe God’s Word first and encourage them not to wait for someone else to do it for them.

Led by the Holy Spirit, Hanaya—a teenager from Japan—finds herself at the right place and moment to meet Enkhtuya, a girl from a small Mongolian town. Just minutes into their conversation, Hanaya begins to introduce her to the God of the endless blue sky. And as she senses Enkhtuya is actively listening, she begins to unpack more truth.

Mongolia is poetically called the 'Land of the Endless Blue Sky', as it has over 260 days of clear blue sky. Apart from Buddhism, Tengrism, the worship of the sky and nature, is still practiced in Mongolia today. According to this belief, the sky is the father, and the earth is the mother of all beings in the universe.

This clip was inspired by a dream the Lord gave me during the night. In the dream, I was suddenly teleported to a foreign land, walking along a snow-covered road that felt like somewhere in Eurasia. Just ahead of me walked a girl who appeared to be around 17 or 18 years old. She looked sad, so I approached her and gently began to speak about God and His love. I only shared two or three simple truths, but as she listened, I could tell her heart was deeply touched—she had never heard about God in that way before.

As I was getting ready to leave, she looked at me and said, “Why don’t you come to my place for some tea?” Then she looked up at the sky and added, “It’s a beautiful day.” The vivid blueness of the sky struck me in that moment—I could feel her openness, her quiet longing to hear more about God.

Jesus sends Hanaya to Mongolia to carry out a mission. The darkness tries to intimidate her, but she doesn't back off.

This clip was inspired by a dream that my wife had a few years ago. In the dream, my wife and I were walking down a road, minding our own business. We saw demonic forces releasing darkness over a place. We stopped and thought we must do something about it. We moved in the direction of the darkness. My wife rebuked the demonic forces. They started feeling uncomfortable and afraid. Then she heard a voice from behind saying, "You’re the Children of the Light".

It's pretty clear what the Lord was showing through this dream. If we never go, we will never know. If we don't show up and do something, the darkness remains unchallenged. There's no resistance. The enemy keeps stealing, killing, and destroying.

The light of the Gospel is to be lit in the dark. The enemy convinces us that it's too dark and too late to make a difference. He makes us overthink and doubt. So we hesitate to show up and do something.

Instead of counting the bullets that are coming at you, count how many you've expelled out of your clip. It's not how many are fired at you, it's how many you have fired. 

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God. Jesus showed up and made the darkness nervous. He destroyed the works of the devil. When we show up, God shows up. Boldness and endurance come when you know that the Lord has sent you. You didn't go because it was a good idea. You heard Him.

Show up with your natural and spiritual gifting, maybe practical Kingdom solutions to problems, and seize the opportunities to share the Gospel. When you speak His Word, He backs it up, releasing hope, healing, deliverance, signs, and wonders. The yoke of darkness, fear, and hopelessness over people begins to break.

It's the smallest spark that can light the dark.

Jesus prepares the heart of a teenage girl, Hanaya, to embrace a selfless life of obedience and missions in a self-seeking, attention-wanting world. He is calling the next generation of believers to count the cost, die to self, and complete the Great Commission—no matter the opposition.

This clip was inspired by the title of a book 'Live to be Forgotten' by Patrick Fung. The phrase 'Live to be Forgotten' hits you hard in a time where there is so much love of self, even among the believers in Christ. This message is a call to radical discipleship, Kingdom purpose, and eternal perspective.

Will you go where He sends you?

Listen now and be stirred to live a life that bears fruit for eternity.

My concern is that scripture has told us clearly that we are all to be going, and the reason the Lord left us behind is to do the job he told us to do. So we’d better get equipped to do it, instead of living this life as if this life is it. It’s not, this is a very short life. And eternal life is forever. We’re going to feel stupid for eternity if we wasted this one.
— Jackie Pullinger

Even though in the very last days of history, the love of many will grow cold, there will be a people who have white-hot, not cold, love for Jesus in the face of hatred, persecution, and killing. The Great Commission will be completed by them. The price will be very high. Not so high that it is not worth it. It will not happen without the price of opposition and suffering. In fact, the price is not just the result but the strategy of the purpose. 
— John Piper
