Psalm 103:19-22. The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Praise the Lord, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.
Genesis 2:1–18 contains many important messages.
There will be many difficulties where you are headed. There will be many problems as well. There will be many things that are impossible for you to handle. The future may seem hard and frightening at times. But there is only one solution—you must receive God’s answer. That is the end of it.
When Joseph received God’s answer, all problems were resolved. You must hold on to this as your covenant. No matter how much you try, you cannot resolve family problems on your own. When you receive God’s answer, the problem will be solved. Isn’t that so? The people in Egypt, Joseph’s brothers, never changed until the end. If you keep hoping for that, you will be in trouble. Joseph received God’s answer, didn’t he? That was the end. You must firmly hold on to that covenant today.
When you hold on to the covenant, changes come accordingly. It may not look like much, but if you become discouraged, you lose everything. I’m not saying to foolishly pretend to be strong, but if you hold to the covenant and gain the courage that is within it, then true answers begin. What comes first? Your spiritual state changes. This is very important. Why do people commit suicide? Their spiritual state has collapsed. Right? That’s why. Who wants to die? Those who commit suicide—it’s not easy, yet they still do it. Why? Because their spiritual state has collapsed. Some people look like failures, but later they gain a great victory. Their spiritual state is strong.
As you know, David faced many hardships. Among those hardships, when someone tries so hard to kill you, if that person has power like a king, how difficult would that be? An even greater problem was the officials around King Saul, who said that David must be killed. That is what influenced Saul. But every problem is simple. When David received God’s answer, everything was resolved.
The Power of the Throne and the 25 Answers
Your answers are different. Others cannot take them. Why? Because they don’t believe. Others cannot receive this answer—the power of the throne—because they don’t believe. Why can’t you receive this answer? Because you don’t believe. The Bible emphasizes this most, but people still don’t believe. Money is visible, but this power of the throne is not. That’s why people don’t believe. When you go out to the field, the work is visible—but can you see the throne? No. That’s where you are deceived. The answer you are to receive is the power of the throne and the answer of 25. This is the answer prepared for you.
▣ Introduction – Prayer
Receiving this—the power of the throne and the answer of 25—is actually simple. If you truly pray, you will receive answers. The problem is fake prayer. If you pray truly, you will receive answers. So now you must truly pray. Shouldn’t you do better than Muslims? Muslims, even while walking, true Muslims lay down mats toward Mecca and pray. They do it five times a day. That’s why they are influenced by evil spirits and cause commotion in the world. They do receive answers. But you are children of God—if you prayed like that, surely God would work. Prayer is seeing, enjoying, and relaying the blessings of the throne. When you do this, continuous works take place.
Worship. This—the power of the throne and the answer of 25—is fulfilled when you truly believe and worship. Jesus spoke about this more than anything.
Matthew 5:3: Jesus said in Matthew 5, “The kingdom of heaven belongs to you.” That means, “The throne is yours.” The Pharisees didn’t understand, so they couldn’t receive the answer.
Matthew 6:10: “Pray that the kingdom of God would come.” Jesus said this.
Matthew 6:33: He also said, “Seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Even more important, in verse 32, He said, “Don’t be like idol worshipers asking for this and that.” When the blessings of the throne come, everything else follows. Try it. Don’t even think about answers—just try it.
Matthew 12:28–30: “When the Spirit comes and Satan is bound, then the kingdom of God has come.”
Acts 1:3: And at the end, Jesus said again, “He spoke to them for 40 days about the kingdom of God.”
1) Israel’s Fall
Israel didn’t believe this (introduction). That’s why Israel was utterly destroyed, and the problem continues even now. The evidence is clear. They do everything else but don’t believe this.
2) Churches in Europe and America
That’s why churches in Europe and America are closing down. They don’t believe.
3) Indifference
So we, too, can be interested in everything else but this. Because it’s not visible. If your thoughts collapse, everything collapses. If your mind is sick, everything becomes sick. But can you see the mind? No. If you can’t see it, does that mean it doesn’t exist? People are so ignorant. The mind doesn’t show in a photo. No matter how many scans you do at a hospital, you can’t see the soul. Does that mean it doesn’t exist? People are that ignorant. If it’s not visible, it doesn’t exist—they think. That’s not true. Just because you can’t see the spiritual world doesn’t mean it’s not real. It is real. You must be sure that you are worthy of this blessing.
▣ Main Message
So when this becomes certain to you, three things will happen.
1. Myself – Throne-ization. The movement of throne-ization begins with you first. Isn’t that right?
2. Church – Throne-ization. Now, when people like this gather at church, the power of the throne is manifested in the church. Isn’t that so?
3. Field – Throne-ization. So when you go to the field, the blessing of this throne-ization appears in the field. When people who have been throne-ized gather, they can’t help but speak. Right?
For example, if you truly feel that God’s power has come upon you, you realize it, and answers follow—when you come to church, you are filled with strength. Worship becomes true worship. But if you feel like no prayer is being answered, and you’re overwhelmed to the point where you feel like dying, and you don’t even want to go to church—if you come to worship in that state, nothing will happen in the worship.
Starting today, stop making excuses about your family—just receive God’s answer. Hold firmly to the covenant. There are many problems in the church. There should be. That’s just how people are. That’s why we come to church. There are many strange people in church—that’s what a church is. Right? There are people with spiritual problems who come—that’s also the church. There are also people who live out their faith well. Right? When you go to church, you’ll see highly educated people, and also people who aren’t—that’s how church is. Some people say, “There are too many problems in church,” but churches should have many problems. Right? Because people with problems come. If you go to a hospital, there are many sick people—because they’re sick, they go to the hospital. Right?
So if you receive God’s answer, everything is resolved. Don’t worry about a thing. Rather, be thankful and say, “Ah, God has given me this opportunity.”
1. Myself – Throne-ization
1) Limits: Most people miss this (throne-ization), so they inevitably hit limits. And then they get discouraged.
2) The “Me” God created: Don’t worry. Discover the “me” God created. What is that? The Triune God is with you invisibly—3, 9, 3. You can’t see Him. But in your field, work, and you, the power of the throne appears first. That’s you. Don’t be deceived by what others say. When time passes, past, present, and future are all part of God’s plan. That’s what this answer means.
3) Platform, Answer, Reformation: When you receive this, your painful past becomes a platform. What others see as hardship today becomes an answer for you. What others fear in the future becomes a blessing of reformation. Absolutely.
You must hold on to this covenant. Just by not listening to people for six days and looking to God, Jericho collapsed. I mentioned before, reading about Crosby made me feel ashamed. She couldn’t see anything, had no one to help, had nothing—yet she held only to the covenant. And that changed the world. That’s what actually happened. I thought to myself, “How little we must have believed.” This is why if someone like her comes to church, the same blessing will appear in the church.
2. Church – Throne-ization
1) Psalm 103:20–22: During worship, with the power of 3·9·3, Psalm 103:20–22 is fulfilled. You already have the blessings of the throne, so when you worship, the angels fulfilling God’s Word and the heavenly hosts are mobilized.
2) Answer, Renewal, Opportunity: Many problems are no longer problems but answers, people’s conflicts become renewal, and crises become opportunities.
3) 237–5000: So even if you were once powerless, the way opens to save the 237 nations and the 5000 people groups.
3. Field – Throne-ization
Now what is last? Throne-ize your workplace. Throne-ize your business field. How is this possible?
1) Time and Space: When you receive the blessing of the throne-ization, it transcends time and space. That’s how the spiritual world works.
2) Established or Older Generations, Field: Two amazing things happen. You see what the older generation and others couldn’t see. More importantly, when you go to the field, you see what the people there couldn’t see.
Let me give you just one more example—Joseph. Joseph saw two things. He saw what his brothers couldn’t see. Isn’t that so? His brothers were constantly worried about worldly things, their livelihood, jealousies, and comparisons. Of course they couldn’t receive answers. Joseph saw what they couldn’t. Then he ended up a slave—that became world evangelization. What’s more important? He saw what Egypt’s leaders couldn’t see. He saw what the king couldn’t see. And he shared it.
This is the answer you will receive. Your work and field will see and speak what others could not see. When the blessing of the throne comes, you see what no one else ever saw before. Absolutely. As the age changes, you will be able to save many. Even within the same profession, change will come. A doctor who doesn’t know the gospel won’t be able to practice medicine well. How can they help when physical and spiritual problems come before the illness even appears, and they don’t know the gospel?
3) Light – 70: And what happens in the field? The economy of light comes. Then you will save the 70 regions, 70 nations, and 70 fields. Naturally. The blessings you are to receive must be this great in order to do world missions. We aren’t trying to live comfortably and die—that’s not it. We must do world missions.
When I started with nothing, I didn’t listen to people’s words. You shouldn’t. No matter what others said, I began world evangelization. That’s enough. It’s simple. Smart people get entangled in everything and listen to everything. I didn’t have that capacity. When I first came to Yeongdo, I met these people in front of me, followed by people with a clear calling. We didn’t do anything else—we just did an evangelism movement with elders and deaconesses. Right?
What will happen going forward? It will be like this. So there’s no doubt. Don’t be deceived. The devil’s specialty is deception. John 8:44 says, “Your father the devil… a liar from the beginning.” He is the father of lies. He deceives. You deceive yourself. “Oh, I can’t do this.” That’s being deceived. Just hold on to this and wait.
When I first realized the gospel, I was a student and had no money. I had to study and go overseas, but I had nothing. Before I realized the gospel, I misunderstood everything. But once I realized the gospel, I saw I just had to wait if I didn’t have. And not use if I didn’t have. There’s something more important. So what did I do? I held the covenant and went to the field. All blessings were already there.
There were people who studied so well and graduated from universities and graduate schools, yet they had zero preparation for evangelism. So they struggled after graduation. But I was able to prepare completely for evangelism while studying theology. I had misunderstood—I thought I had no answers. That was the final misunderstanding. Saying, “I have no answer.” As an evangelist without money, saying, “There’s no answer”—that’s insane. Really. Isn’t it? An evangelist should pray, study the Word, and evangelize—not cry out for money. That’s crazy. I wasn’t praying wrong prayers—I was praying crazy prayers. What kind of evangelist prays for a position? That’s all I prayed for, without knowing why.
The biggest misunderstanding is thinking you haven’t received answers. That’s the real illusion. If you are holding on to this covenant, that alone is the answer. Because this will surely be fulfilled. Especially for our church leaders—God’s power of the throne must appear in your business to save others.
▣ Conclusion. So who must you save?
1. RT7: Like the 7 Remnants. They saved others.
2. Hebrews 11:38: Like the people of Hebrews 11. Verse 38 says, “The world was not worthy of them.”
3. Romans 16:25–27: Like the people of Romans 16, “what was hidden from long ages past is now revealed and made known for all eternity.”
This is the promise of God that you are to receive. Don’t worry about anything else. Then answers will surely come. You are the witnesses. May today be the day a great spiritual watchtower is raised in the name of Jesus Christ.
Prayer. God, we thank You. May today be the day we experience the power of the throne. Let this be the day when all the saints hold to the right covenant. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
