Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8
What is the fullness of the Holy Spirit? That is the question. Jesus promised this (Acts 1:8) at the very end. In a word, when we say “fullness of the Holy Spirit,” it means that God’s power has come upon me. We call it the fullness of the Holy Spirit when God’s power comes upon me. When this happens, though we live within 24 hours, after that the 25 answers come.
Many people ask, “How do you receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit?” What is even more important than that is the realization, “Ah, I need the fullness of the Holy Spirit.” Isn’t that right? No matter how I thought about it, I realized, “Ah, without the fullness of the Holy Spirit, it will not work.”
▣ Introduction – [ Only ]
So the words Jesus spoke—“Only”—came to be realized by me.
Right now, in the three organizations, on the contrary, they are filled with Nephilim, filled with Satan. That is what is dangerous. First of all, these people, being filled with Satan, are displaying power.
So while we are struggling because we have no money, Bill Gates, a New Age member, gives away tens of trillions in donations just like that. Watching that, I felt ashamed. “Ah, without the fullness of the Holy Spirit, it will not work.” Do you not understand? How to receive it is the next topic. How did you get your job? You got a job because you thought, “I must get a job.” Isn’t that right? If someone says, “I don’t want a job,” then they won’t get one. “Ah, I really need this”—you must come to that. “In my work, I must be filled with God’s power.” That is how it should be. If you say it has nothing to do with you, then it cannot happen. That is the problem.
[ Nephilim-filled ] – [ Fullness of the Holy Spirit ]
This is a twofold battle right now. Is it Nephilim-filled, or the fullness of the Holy Spirit? These people are dominating the world. But because the church does not particularly seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit, those people (Nephilim-filled) run wild. Believers have little real interest in the fullness of the Holy Spirit, which Jesus mentioned last. They say they care, but in reality they do not think it is important. Isn’t that so? They are filled with the Holy Spirit during worship, but as soon as they turn around, they are not. That’s how it becomes. Then how much do they lose? When I listen to people talk, I quietly observe and see their interest is elsewhere. So it’s heartbreaking. Although they can fully enjoy it, they are losing everything.
So I thought, “Ah, people—especially the church leaders—cannot overcome without this power.”
There is evidence. Steve Jobs, who went to the Freemasons and prayed every day, ended up completely dominating. And so it is. Michael Jackson, the busy singer who trained at the Freemasons twice a week—he said he went twice a week. In this way, they become filled with Nephilim. The word “Nephilim” means now being possessed by evil spirits. And if what these people do were right, we could help, but there is a problem—that’s the issue, isn’t it? Because of this, America will soon become a village of zombies. The whole of America is going to go strangely mad now. It’s a serious problem. In a sense, this is the aftereffect of that (Nephilim-filled).
For example, if you do not know this blessing (fullness of the Holy Spirit), you lose to a shaman. That makes no sense. Does a shaman have more power than we do? That must not be.
It is a battle between these two (Nephilim-filled and fullness of the Holy Spirit). Therefore, today, when you offer Sunday worship, even if you pray only this prayer—“Truly give me the fullness of the Holy Spirit all day long”—many changes will occur during the six days.
[ Ends of the earth – Witness – Power ]
When I truly prayed this prayer, Jesus said, “You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” Before that, what did He say? “You will receive power”—He was speaking of this. When you receive power, your work naturally becomes a witness to the ends of the earth. Keep praying this every Sunday. So, to say that you cannot do this makes no sense. You don’t need to pay attention to anything else. Continuously.
Sometimes, when I come to church and conduct the session meeting and so on, I pull myself together to listen carefully. Why? Because I am so fixed on the Word and prayer that I don’t hear well. It’s true. “Get a grip; don’t make mistakes. They are reporting with effort.” I listen with focus. Sometimes when someone speaks next to me, it hardly enters my ears. Why? Because this (fullness of the Holy Spirit) is important. I may be abnormal, but if you are not careful, you will incur great loss. You will be overcome by this (Nephilim-filled). I am truly convinced that God’s Holy Spirit’s power must come upon your work and your studies. Isn’t that right? You must have no other interest. I’m not saying you must have no interest in anything else as a rule, but if you are truly enjoying this blessing (fullness of the Holy Spirit; ends of the earth – witness – power) all day today, you cannot be distracted by anything else.
So, Rockefeller devoted himself simply to holding onto the Word and praying on Sundays. Isn’t it hard enough to build one university? He built twenty-four. While we struggle even to build one church building, he built 2,000 church buildings. Power manifested like that. If you read a book about Rockefeller’s business, you know those old phone book–like volumes with tiny print—one whole volume is Rockefeller’s business locations. It’s dizzying. Of course, there are this and that said about his successors, but the first generation was originally people of prayer. At one time—now I don’t know—it was said that for someone to become president, they had to receive influence from Rockefeller’s business circle. To that extent. We don’t need the fullness of the Holy Spirit for such things, but at least the blessing of receiving power and becoming witnesses to the ends of the earth is yours. God has given it.
Thus, looking within my heart as I always do, I must prepare the 24 message, so I must pray—honestly. When I talk with or text those ordinarily important operatives, I do not feel this (fullness of the Holy Spirit) at all. At such times, prayer comes out and I become concerned—though the Bible says not to worry, I do worry. I sense that truly important people are not at all aligned with this (fullness of the Holy Spirit). Of course, I have not verified it. I just sense it.
So now they (Nephilim-filled) are defeating us. It’s not even just losing—nonsensical things are happening. If you go around to various neighborhoods, idol-worship sites seem to prosper, while churches quietly close their doors. It makes no sense.
▣ Main
1. Three things
The works of the Holy Spirit appear in three ways.
1) Indwelling of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit dwells in me. That is tremendous. You do not need to worry, “What should I do about my future?” That’s what unbelievers do. “Today I feel worthless.” That is our thought—Joseph went as a slave and was cleaning; he did not say, “Should I be doing such a worthless task?” Believers are different. The Holy Spirit indwells us.
2) Guidance of the Holy Spirit
Therefore the Holy Spirit guides us. Isn’t that right? How grateful this is.
3) Fullness of the Holy Spirit
Now this actually appears in my work and in my life as God’s power. This is called the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Where there is no guidance, there can be no fullness. If I am not saved, if the Holy Spirit is not in me, how could I be guided?
2. The platform
Therefore, the works of the Holy Spirit must become a platform. What do I mean?
1) Actual answers (strength)
We must do much study and much work, but this must become the platform of actual answers. Since we cannot see with our eyes, we say, “How do we receive actual answers?” But do these (Nephilim-filled) people see with their eyes? They don’t see, yet they receive and move the world. It’s a mess right now. In a way, we are all being deceived. Everything is in the smartphones Bill Gates and Steve Jobs made, and later everything will go wrong because of that. There is no way around it. Even now, people who know how to use advanced devices well can look into one of your phone numbers and go in and check everything. Even now. Isn’t that so? Then we end up being completely played with. So originally, God sent them as slaves to Egypt so that they would shine—thus there is no need to worry. Joseph and the seven remnants actually had this (actual answers) strength. This is important. And what else?
2) Resolution of spiritual problems
You ask, “If I have this (actual answers) strength, what answers come?” Spiritual problems are resolved. Where this (spiritual problem) is not solved, even if I receive answers, it is useless. It comes upon my life, my work, my field. What greater blessing is there? Today, as you pray, spiritual problems in your work, field, and circumstances will be resolved.
It’s just that when things do not go well, you may feel frustrated today. Isn’t that right? When things don’t go well, you don’t feel refreshed. When tests come, you feel heavy; you don’t feel good—that’s not how it is. That moment is important. The very moment you feel pressed and troubled is important. At that time, God is actually preparing the very best for you. Isn’t that so? When Moses was at his most difficult, God prepared the most important thing. When Elijah was in his greatest crisis, God was preparing His greatest work that even Elijah did not know. For a moment Elijah also misunderstood: “I can no longer continue.” We easily become like that. God has not even begun, but we say, “I can’t.” Today hasn’t even started. “Why?” “Everyone betrayed and left; only I am left.” People easily misunderstand like that. God said, “Besides you, I have left seven thousand—seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal. And there is Elisha. Appoint him.” There are true disciples. “Appoint him. King Ahab? I will replace him.” If God replaces him, that’s the end. If God calls him away, that’s it—what is there to fight about, when God calls him away? In reality, we receive this blessing (actual answers, resolution of spiritual problems). And what else?
3) One who saves
Now you become one who saves. How good is that? Wherever you go, if someone says, “That person has a problem,” there is nothing special to do—you save them. They come to life. “That person is wrong.” Even if wrong, they come to life. “A strange guy has entered our company?” He comes to life. It must not be that a normal person goes in and comes out strange. There are many companies like that—normal people go in and come out weird. It should be that a strange one comes and becomes normal. That is the church. The sick come and are healed; the strange come and receive God’s blessing. Isn’t that right? That is the church. Why? Because the Holy Spirit works. You must remember this. This fullness of the Holy Spirit becomes our platform.
3. The experience
So what is the most important thing we must do every day? To experience this. How?
1) Personal answer
In the Bible today, it says that on Mt Olive they held onto the covenant, and as they continued in this prayer, a personal answer came. That was Mt Olive. No matter what anyone says, because the personal answer came.
2) Personal prayer experience
And then this personal prayer becomes an experience. Others do not know this. It is a happiness only I know. Personal prayer becomes an experience.
3) Only · Uniqueness · Re-creation
Then the third comes. One day, “Only” emerges in me, in my work, and in my studies. From that time, you become a witness. Only. Jesus said, “But only when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power and be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” No one can take it from you—uniqueness. Now, when it seemed you had no ability at all, because you are praying, now comes re-creation that gives life to people. Among you, some may be experiencing this to some degree. But when this continues to become yours, works take place.
▣ Conclusion [ 3·9·3 ]
Thus, your life and work—before the blessing of the throne—are the working of the power of the Triune God, the blessing of the throne, and saving the age.
1. Platform
So truly pray. This blessing becomes the platform. Because this blessing is upon you personally, upon your studies, and upon your work, it becomes the platform. When there is a platform, even if you tell others not to come, they will come.
2. Watchtower
Then you become a watchtower that shines the light and saves many. You set up the watchtower on the bartizan.
3. Antenna
Then, when you are within God’s power, you become an antenna that connects to the whole world. If you insert a chip into your phone, it connects worldwide, right? When the working of God’s Holy Spirit comes upon me, it communicates to the world—spiritually. This is prayer.
Finally, you must know this: there are many who say, “Why do I have so many difficulties?” Paul confessed, “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed.” He did not say, “I am not hard pressed on every side.” He said, “Hard pressed on every side, but not crushed.” There will be things like being knocked down—“knocked down, but not destroyed.” Isn’t that right? That’s it. A problem seems to have come, it appears to have come, but disaster will absolutely not invade you. That is the power of the gospel. Some people suffer disasters though they have done nothing wrong. Isn’t that so? That is a person without the gospel. That is grievous. Though they have done little wrong, disaster comes. Even if ten thousand rise up against you, disaster will not come near you. The Bible says so. I believe that. This (main point) blessing is extremely important. Therefore, Jesus concluded that since nothing else works, “Only when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power and be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.”
From now on, even while hymns are sung and even while you wait, simply pray deeply. During that time, three tremendous things are made: platform, watchtower, antenna. This is called the bartizan. It is made during the time of prayer.
Be sure to keep two Bible verses in mind.
Revelation 8:3–5
There is no prayer that does not receive an answer. All are placed into bowls—into the bowls at the altar before the throne of God.
Daniel 10:10–20
While you are praying now, God is sending His angels and archangels to accomplish God’s work—during the time of prayer.
Because people do not believe this, they live carnally every day and one day a problem suddenly comes. They don’t even know why it came. Some people live in the house of a very rich family, yet in a hellish torment. A senior I know—she married into a very wealthy, not quite a conglomerate but a family with many businesses. She divorced after a year and fled to America. She had once been Miss Busan and was a decent person, and she married—but she married not a believer but an unbeliever. She was two or three years ahead of me, and from the start she said she hated poverty because she was so poor. That seems reasonable. But then, she met a rich man who had absolutely no relation to faith and just married. When I went to speak in America, somehow she found out and came to the meeting. We only brushed past and greeted. She was a completely different person. When I asked, “Why did you become like this?” she said, “Just because.” Gaining weight wasn’t the issue—her face had become strange. She had suffered. We had been close long ago, so I asked what happened, and she said, “Hell.” In a single word. That rich, wealthy home was hell—hell. How hard must it have been for her to say that? People who do not know the spiritual thing suffer terribly and do not know why it came, nor the solution.
May today be a day of blessing to set up the bartizan all day long, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.
Prayer. God, we give You thanks. Let today become an important day. Truly, by the power of God that blocks the Nephilim, let it be a day to set up the bartizan. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
