Scripture Reading: Romans 16:25-27
Last Pulpit (40 Days) – Mt Olive
Jesus’ last pulpit is important. He explained for 40 days. He explained for 40 days, and this place was Mt Olive. If so, it is tremendously important.
「Bartizan (imprint), journey (root), guidepost (nature)」
What He spoke here was that we should raise a firm bartizan. What kind of bartizan is it? One that allows you to go on the journey. As you go on this journey, important gatherings like the one you are in now will arise in various places. That is what we call guideposts. So the Triune God promised that He would be with us. And He explained the work of the kingdom of God for 40 days. And He said He would give power. What kind of power is it? “I will give you eternal power by which your past, present, and future are all resolved. I will grant you the five powers that can transcend time and space.” Now, this must be imprinted inside you. He did the 40 days to imprint this. As it is imprinted, now it takes root. This is no ordinary matter. Because people are imprinted with the wrong things, the more they live, the more wrong roots they put down. Without knowing that, even when their mind has gone wrong, they only look at that. Where? While going on their journey, they put down their roots. And later, it becomes something that cannot be changed.
All answers must come out from here. Even healing—its answer must come out from here. Power—its answer also must come out from here. Among you, if there is anyone sick, what must you change? You must change this (imprint). What has been imprinted.
Now he has passed away, but at one time in our country there was an old man who healed cancer patients whom hospitals could not heal. Word spread, and doctors even filed complaints and such things happened. “He is not even a doctor—why is he healing cancer?”—in that way. Someone we know went there. And that person also went and was healed. So if he healed what the hospital could not heal, is that not tremendous? Because someone I know went, I asked. I asked what they did there. Among the things they said, one thing caught my ear. They said he gives you some kind of blanket. I asked, “What kind of blanket does he give?” They said that when you cover yourself with that blanket, you sweat so much. So you have to replenish water and such. That is what it is. He changed the imprint. He drew out all the toxins from inside the body. The principle of everything is that when this (imprint) is changed, then it becomes root and nature with this.
Holy Spirit’s guidance (100), Holy Spirit’s working (100), Holy Spirit’s fruit (100)
When Jesus spoke of the 7 bartizans, He spoke of you receiving 100% guidance of the Holy Spirit. The guidance of the Holy Spirit is not 99%. It is 100%. So He said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” When you go on the journey, you go by the working of the Holy Spirit, and this is 100%. Next, you will now bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit. This is 100%, and that is the guidepost.
Now, when you do business or do your studies, this will arise here and there. Those of you who do business must also do it this way. For remnants, every remnant who was prepared for this was unconditionally used. So for our remnants, this is a chance. Once you get older, it does not work well. You must memorize many things by the age of 25. After 25, in fact, things do not get imprinted. Why? Because the brain is cut off. It begins to disappear. So for older people, the brain disappears very quickly. That is why I tell them to do a bit of breathing. Then dementia comes, and it comes in this way. So you must have already been prepared while you are still in school.
「7 journeys」
Among these, today is the 7 journeys. And next, the 7 guideposts will come. The journey is really living itself. The bartizan that God has given does not just sit there; it moves. So in the old days, even the tabernacle was made to move. Why? Because they had to go through the wilderness path. And with that, they had to go all the way into the land of Canaan. That is what is called the journey.
〔Concentration〕
So for older people, it does not work well. So there is a way even for older people. That is what we call concentration. That is why they did the 40-day concentration. Because they were old.
You remnants, even if you do not do concentration, you can go on from now on continuously. You have received an incredible blessing. Even if you stay still, you will succeed. Right now, you do not know. When we were young, we never even saw gatherings like this. There was no organization like RLS or anything like this. So everything we learned was all wrong. All worldly things. No matter how well they taught, it was without God. Can that work? Fortunately, when I was your age, I started having conflicts. Adults say something when you have conflicts, but you must have conflicts. Adults say, “Do you have no thoughts?” You must not have thoughts. It is not that you have no thoughts, but if you have too many thoughts then, it is difficult. If you think too much when you are young, you become an obstinate old-timer. Your age right now is exactly right. How thankful is this. So, to put it simply, for older people, God just grabbed them and beat them down for 40 days. You do not have to be grabbed and beaten like that—you can just go. This answer will surely come.
Now then, all the members must check these 7 journeys.
1. Triune God
The Triune God is invisible. Right? Your soul is also invisible. When your soul meets the Spirit of the Triune God, that is what we call “saved.” Because He works by the Spirit, fleshly people cannot realize it. “We had three people with mental illness in the family.” What can you do? Because they do not know the cause. Because they do not know spiritual things. So when you look at the beginning of worship, when the bell sounds “clang,” we say, “God is Spirit.” It means that God is no longer a visible idol. “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.” In the old Bible translation, it said, “must worship in the Holy Spirit and in truth.” So the phrase “in spirit and in truth” is better. Because we are spiritual beings. This Triune God is doing three things even now.
1) Fulfillment of the Word
Fulfillment of the Word. So we must listen to the Word accurately. So now for you, the words that Jesus spoke 40 years, 40 days, 2,000 years ago have been fulfilled until now.
2) Answer to prayer
Even now, answers to prayer are taking place. So we pray. Right now, while you are praying, it looks like nothing is happening. But answers are approaching. You went through hardships and prayed a lot, but there is no answer. It comes at the exact time.
3) Work of salvation
And then the work of salvation takes place. So we do evangelism. Even if you just set your heart to evangelize, this work will take place.
I will preach about this in the first service, but in a certain sense, even if you do not set your heart to evangelize, works take place. How? How? Let us see that in the first service.
2. Throne → 10 secrets
So this Triune God, for you who are going on your journey, has completely given ten secrets that come down from the throne. Is that clear? You go holding onto this. These secrets are inside you as well. You just have not found them, but they are there. This is prayer.
3. Throne → platform
And there is also an unshakable platform that comes down from the throne. This is something that comes down from the throne, from above. The person who knows this must surely win and will not be shaken, no matter what happens. When you later succeed, you must keep this in mind, and of course you must prepare well. But if you become a great person, tremendous attacks will come in. If a beggar is in the station getting free meals, no one attacks him. But if you become president, if you become a member of the National Assembly, then attacks pour in. In fact, members of the National Assembly suffer many difficulties. They attack one another, and so on. At those times, if you do not have this kind of strength, you get hurt. You face great difficulties. Some people even become sick. You have the ten secrets and the unshakable platform. You go while enjoying these things.
〔25〕 Work of the kingdom
So when we say, “Find the answer in the 7 journeys,” that is 25. Why? Because it means that the work of the kingdom of God arises. The kingdom of God has come upon you, and wherever you go, works arise. To say it again: when the kingdom of God has come upon me, we call that bartizan. When we see the work of the kingdom of God being fulfilled, we call that the journey. You understand, right? You must start prayer that finds answers exactly with this. When things are hard, you may be praying a lot, and it looks like answers are not coming. Right? Some people look at that wicked person and pray, “Why does that guy not die?”—but he does not die. Later, you will see that God fulfills proper answers. For the brothers who sold Joseph, destruction did not suddenly come. It is not that Joseph prayed a lot and they were ruined. Simply put, Joseph’s brothers spent their whole lives receiving handouts. Joseph spent his whole life saving people. That is how answers come.
4. Throne → flow
Then what is the fourth among the 7? God—here you must always know this word “throne.” The flow of the throne—these are the nine flows. Past, present, and future. Also breadth, height, and depth. Left, right, and above.
If we use cars as an example, those who know how to drive will understand. With a car, there is the rear-view mirror. Then you also have the side mirrors. You cannot go without those. When the car is moving, there are mirrors on both sides. And there is also a mirror above. That one is to see behind. You go looking like this. If that is not there? That is a problem. Likewise, you go looking exactly at this flow.
5. Throne → assurance
And then another journey you go on is that there are five assurances that come down from the throne. It is certain. You must believe it. If we check that a bit, if you believe that Jesus is the Christ, you are saved. In 1 Corinthians 12:3 it says, “No one can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ except by the Holy Spirit.” If so, the second assurance is that now, without needing to offer blood sacrifices or kill sheep and cows, He said, “Pray in My name.” You understand what that means. There are many difficulties along the way. In 1 Corinthians 10:13, this is the assurance of victory. When He said that, what comes right before it? “He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” If tremendous difficulties come to you, that is a large vessel. Right? If strange trials keep coming to you, that is a strange vessel. And for a small vessel, God does not give big trials, only small trials. But you will surely win. Then there are two more. They are very important. Everything that was in your family line, all your disasters—He has finished them. That is the assurance of the forgiveness of sins. Someone argued about this. “So if you believe in Jesus, Christ, is everything just finished?” The Bible says so. Jesus Himself promised, “It is finished.” Inside I think, “Then you do not finish.” Then you will die.
6. Throne → lifetime
What is the sixth? It does not end with that. Now from the throne, He has given you the answers of your entire life. Now. For us adults, when you enjoy this answer, everything you have lived becomes a platform, and what is left becomes the road.
When I just look at RLS and RGS, I am so thankful. Truly you have received blessings among blessings. You will remember later. There is something I want to whisper in your ear. What is it? If your studies are not going well, do not do them. Just do them roughly. Why? Because from what I have seen in life—there is always a way. God has prepared the road of your entire life. Long ago, I said something like this, and the students liked it so much. The parents contacted me. “What if they do not study?” By no means. They do even better. And they truly succeed. Because of you, your parents later become happy. “Wow, so this is how it is.” So, as I will say in the first service, evangelism is not at all difficult. Evangelism is difficult because people do not know evangelism.
7. Throne → camp
Then what is the end? All your life is the camp of the throne. You are the main characters. You must remember this. Every person is the main character of the road they walk all their life. You must find this. In a movie, the main character is predetermined. Right? That is a movie. But life is not like that. Every person is the main character of the road of life. You must find this. Right? So every road you walk is a camp. You thought you were going through hardships, but later you see that it was not that. I was born in a poor home, but later I saw that that was not it. I was living so hard for my parents, but later I saw that that was not it. It was camp.
Especially this week, since I am going abroad, we are recording, but it is the same. Listening to the message is the same. But today RLS and RGS are here. I feel so good. Adults do not even clap. Our remnants clap. Let us give a clap of glory to God.
▣ Conclusion_ [ The three-day weekend age ]
Now then, what conclusion do we get? Become the main figures of the three-day weekend age.
Friday – forum
On Friday, whether you are alone or together, a forum must take place. Your important forum. If possible, remnants should do reading forums. You must not just read and end it. Because there are backgrounds in reading, forums are necessary. You may not know now, but once you grow a bit and go out into the world, our country is divided into left and right. Divided. Then you will have to choose one side. For that, reading forums at school are absolutely necessary. When did this left and right come out? After the Middle Ages—when the church collapsed so much in the Middle Ages, this began to come out.
Saturday – witness (talent)
On Saturday, you must meet witnesses and become witnesses. And so you confirm your talents. It is okay if you do not discover your talent quickly. Because God will surely make you know.
Sunday – flow
On Sunday, you ride the flow. The flow of the Word, the flow of prayer answers, the flow of evangelism. You ride these three flows. It is not “Do evangelism.” It is riding the flow. In a certain sense, you help the struggling friends at school well. That is evangelism. Right? Also, in school, you begin to do your studies inside this (the entire message). That is evangelism. For doctors, if they truly help their patients warmly and help their spiritual healing, that is evangelism. For teachers, it is not walking around carrying gospel tracts, but helping children discover their talents inside this blessing. That is evangelism, and in fact it is the highest evangelism.
The teachers here are doing the highest evangelism. More importantly, we do not know what kind of person will come out from here. No one knows. Only God knows. So this is a sign. The fact that you came to this school is a sign that God will specially take care of you. That is certain. So we are thankful. Let us pray.
Prayer. We thank You, God. We thank You for blessing us to raise the 7 bartizans, the journey, and the guideposts. We thank You for giving our remnants the one and only, greatest opportunity on earth. Give us more strength so that we may enjoy it. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
