Scripture Reading: Philippians 2:1-12
Ordinary times – The source (strength)
What is crucial for you is to gain much strength in ordinary times. There are also times of hardship, aren’t there? Regardless, you must possess this strength. Then, as time passes, you will realize that it is not something difficult. Without exception, Joseph spent many years in prison, even though he had committed no wrongdoing. David also endured decades of hardship, though his only “offense” was defeating Goliath. He was chased around and faced death. However, that’s okay because there’s a greater answer. So, in ordinary times, you must enjoy this strength. Of course, sometimes you may suddenly say, “My body is not feeling well.” But that’s not how it works. In ordinary times, you must start managing yourself and gaining strength now. When hardship comes, no one else can help you.
[Morning – 7·7·7 | Prayer that saves]
So, in the morning, you can pray this. Continuously pray about the 7 bartizans, the journey, and the guidepost. In the morning, you do the prayer that saves everything. Pray for yourself. Even if you’re busy, wake up earlier. Go for a walk. Breathe. You need to build your strength. You need to cultivate the strength that saves yourself.
[Day (the gospel) | Thought – Prayer]
Now, during the day, there are many important prayers, but this is when you often lose hold of the greatest blessing. You must change your thoughts into prayer. This is something you must always enjoy, but especially during the day, the prayer of enjoying Christ and the gospel must continue.
Let’s flip the situation and think about it the other way. Whenever you wake up in the morning, you are busy, right? You are exhausted. Then what happens? The day becomes even more difficult. You must run your business, complete your work, and fulfill your duties. Public servants have to watch the eyes of those above, below, and beside them. Many things can give you problems. Most people try to endure this. However, if you endure, it will ultimately harm you. So you change everything into prayer with the eyes of the gospel. This may seem like nothing, but it accumulates great strength and answers for you. You must do this.
[Night | Deep prayer – The Word]
What do you do at night? At night, you enter a deep state of prayer. You confirm the Word of God. You check the fulfillment of the Word. There is nothing else to think about. Everything is included in this. As you enjoy this, the answers begin to come to you. You must definitely do this. If you have strength, you can do other things. Especially for our elders and church leaders who are getting older, this is even more true. You need to have strength to properly do something. If you lose strength, you’re already at an age where things are difficult, but it will become even harder. You must do this.
「The 7 bartizans and the eternal answer」
Today’s message is about the 7 bartizans and the eternal answer. You all know the 7 bartizans well.
■ The Triune God (Spirit)
Since the Triune God works invisibly, this is the true answer. What is visible is just the result. The invisible is the true reality. Since God works upon us by His Spirit, no one can take it away. You enjoy this part through prayer in the morning. You must definitely do so. In the morning, do what you don’t normally do—revive your body, take deep breaths that save you, and continue this prayer. The undeniable evidence will come.
1) The Word
2) Answers
3) Salvation
Even now, the Triune God is fulfilling the Word, answering prayers, and carrying out the work of salvation. Even now. So, continue this prayer in the morning.
■ The Throne
Jesus explained the blessing of the throne for 40 days. This is what you must enjoy.
1) Kingdom – Work
Pray for the kingdom of God to come upon you and for that work to be accomplished. You must believe this. Even now, you are worshiping here, but God’s kingdom is coming upon your work, your field. This is a fact, so you must believe it firmly. Joseph believed it firmly, but his brothers did not. His brothers lost hold of everything. David believed in this fact when he prayed—that this kind of thing would happen. But King Saul never believed it. He said, “What is that? You have to fight and win.” At first glance, it seems like Saul is right, doesn’t it? “David must not become greater. My son has to be king, but if David becomes greater, that can’t happen.” It sounds like he has a point. “No, he’s doing better than me. That’s troubling.” That may sound right. “At this rate, my position might be in danger.” Then his officials around him keep advising him, saying, “You must stop David.” They keep telling him that because their livelihood depends on it. But King Saul’s thoughts were wrong. David believed in this (Kingdom – Work).
What happens at this time?
(1) Transcendence of time and space
When the work of God’s kingdom happens, that’s when you realize the transcendence of time and space. Only God can transcend time and space.
(2) The 237 nations
You can only reach the 237 nations if you enjoy the answer of transcending time and space.
(3) Unprecedented and never repeated
At this time, the unprecedented and never-repeated answer comes to you.
2) Genesis 1:27, 2:7, 2:18
The blessing of the throne is not just given vaguely—it comes into you, into your life. That’s how healing takes place, inside you. Prayer is about receiving something tremendous. God breathed the breath of life into us. It says, “God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.” In Genesis 2:18, finally, God begins to work in my work, my field, and my home.
3) Me, church, work
At this time, just as mentioned before, unprecedented and never-repeated answers come to me, the church, and my work.
■ The age
When you enjoy the 7 bartizans, very important things happen.
1) The past
Your past is resolved and becomes a platform for blessings, and then, works begin to happen. Those who are bound by the past cannot succeed.
2) The present
3) The future
God is responsible for the past, present, and future, so this bartizan must come upon you as power.
■ The 5 powers
When you enjoy this prayer, the 5 powers come. What are the 5 powers?
1) Spiritual power
Spiritual strength. Invisible spiritual power arises. The day you enjoy this is Sunday, and the act of enjoying this is prayer. It must definitely happen this way.
2) Intellectual power
From this time, you begin to see ahead of time. You will receive answers in advance. This is intellectual power because God gives it to you.
3) Physical power
From this time, you will gain strength in both spirit and body. This is physical power.
4) Financial power
From this time, because you are the main figure to save the economy of light, financial power comes to you.
5) Manpower
If you have these four, people will follow you. Even if you tell them not to come, they come. We gain the manpower to find disciples. Continue this in prayer.
I enjoy this every day. There’s no need for a separate prayer. When I breathe in, I enjoy this. When I breathe out, I think of you. I do this for those who say they want to do a 24-hour prayer. Since there is plenty of time, you can do it all day long. I do this all day long. I breathe anyway, so when I inhale, I pray for this power to come. When I exhale, I think of today’s meeting site and those who come to mind. That’s how I do it. Without a doubt, you must do this too. Imagine doing this every day. What would happen? If you live every day without any thought, what will happen? If you live every day by the world’s methods, what will happen? You don’t know when you will collapse. That’s why you’re anxious. If you live constantly worrying, you don’t know when you’ll get sick.
■ In advance
Finally, you begin to see in advance. What is that?
1) Covenant
You see in advance. The Covenant.
2) Vision
Then you begin to possess in advance. Vision. This is CVDIP.
3) Enjoyment
Then you enjoy 24 in advance. You enjoy it beforehand. This is Dream.
4) Conquest
You conquer in advance. God didn’t say, “I will give you the land of Canaan.” He said, “I have given it to you.” By God’s power. This is Image.
5) Fulfillment
It is already fulfilled. It will surely come. You possess it in advance.
This is called CVDIP.
■ The three courtyards
What is the seventh bartizan? The three courtyards.
1) Inside me
These three courtyards come to me through prayer.
2) Work
Answers come. These three courtyards come upon your work. They come upon your studies.
3) Church
These three courtyards are established in the church.
So, continue this prayer. The person who uses humanism every day and the person who does this prayer every day—even their cells are different. If you keep worrying, all of your billions of cells change abnormally. That’s why I tell you not to worry. Entrust everything to God and restore the strength God gives. Jesus explained this for 40 days. When He explained it for 40 days, it doesn’t mean there was a lot of content—it means He personalized it. It must become personalized. This is important. This is the end. You can do other things as answers come.
▣ Conclusion
How do we conclude this?
24
Always enjoy this (main point) in prayer. 24.
25
While enjoying it, you wait for something. 25.
Eternity
This is not the end. You challenge the recreation that saves an age. That is called eternity.
That’s how it comes. It’s frustrating. Why don’t you enjoy it? You have the right to enjoy it.
Thought
In the end, everything is about thought, right?
Heart
In the end, it must be engraved in your heart.
Level
In the end, it comes according to your level.
“Oh no, I’m frustrated right now. What should I do?” Concentrate. Without a doubt, work will happen. People who have had no answers for a long time—I believe they are important people. Right? If you’ve gone through big things that others haven’t—big issues, not trivial ones—then you are a great person. Clearly. God only gives you what you can handle. He clearly said He only gives you the trials you can bear. If a person is petty, petty trials keep coming. That can’t be helped. If your vessel for blessing is large, then large trials also come. Some people must endure for a long time. Wait. Enjoy this (main point) blessing while you wait. Then the bartizan will be built inside you. The 7 bartizans. It will be built. Then the bartizan of darkness will collapse. It will change. So actually, your health and everything else will be restored.
Don’t miss Sunday. Go into a deep prayer that truly gives you strength. For our remnants, simply worshiping properly on Sunday will lead to success, as you don’t have much time. That’s why you must hold onto this. Now, what’s coming next is important, right? Next week, we will look at the 7 journeys. After that, even more important are the 7 guideposts. You must set up the guideposts well.
The three courtyards we are talking about now are all about establishing the absolute bartizan. So, unseen, revival and answers will come, even if you tell them not to. Don’t worry. As for the members—right now, some places are full, others have many empty seats—don’t worry about that. We are not here to do business. If the gospel and the covenant don’t match, there is nothing we can do. We follow the covenant. God will surely work. Next year, there will be an explosion among the 5,000 tribes. Pray. Follow the fulfillment of the Word. Especially for our remnants’ studies and the church leaders’ work, may the 7 bartizans come exactly as they are. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.
Prayer
God, thank You. Today, let the bartizan of God be established. Let the bartizan of God that no one can take away be set up within me. Let the bartizan of the throne that no one can block come upon my work. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
