Scripture Reading: 1 Chronicles 29:10-14
This week is the Practice bartizan. This becomes the eternal answer.
▣ Introduction
If you actually fall ill, there’s no one who can truly help you. Of course, you may receive help from family, doctors, and others, but none of them can take responsibility and resolve the issue.
1. Daily – 3 concentrations
That’s why you must practice the 3 concentrations daily. Just doing it morning, noon, and night will bring you tremendous power.
2. Sunday – Holy Spirit, mission, experience
And on Sundays, there’s something you must always remember. The last promise Jesus gave was, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” Because this is the power of God, it’s tremendous. Even before He bore the cross, He said, “When I go, I will send the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, to you.” And on the Mount of Olives, He gave the mission, “Be filled with the Holy Spirit.” That’s the Mount of Olives. Then in Mark’s upper room, they experienced it. That’s how important Sunday is.
Worship
If you just recover Sunday worship, that is enough. Acts 2:42 says, “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching” and “to prayer.” So, the majority of people who do not receive answers are those who do not concentrate on worship. Assistant pastors must be especially careful because they are busy with church work, and it’s easy to miss worship. Likewise, church leaders and others are often busy with church tasks. If they’re not careful, they’ll miss worship, the power of God, and the blessings.
I served as an assistant pastor for 10 years, and that’s what happened to me. One day, I was struck by something. I’ve mentioned this before. A student came to church and left after about 10 seconds. She just came, sat for about 10 seconds, and left. One time, she handed me an envelope—perhaps there was money in it—and she left. It was a tithe. I thought, “That’s strange. Why does she come to the church, not even attend worship, and still give her tithe to me?” She was saying, “Please offer this on my behalf.” But one day, she stayed the whole Sunday service, earnestly praying. She was just a young student. I asked, “How were you able to attend worship today?” She explained. Across the street, there’s a bus terminal where buses gather. She said she cleans there. Her parents had passed away, and she had to take care of her younger siblings. She said she didn’t have time to worship on Sundays. But that day, she had time and said worship was so good. I felt very sorry. At the time, I was a pastor, but I wasn’t enjoying the importance of worship like she was.
Worship. If you properly worship, all your diseases and problems will be resolved. That’s how you must worship.
Weekdays
This even affects weekdays. “Every day in the temple and from house to house…”
Scheduled prayer
That’s not the end. Eventually, your prayer will align with the church. If your prayer is not connected with the church, then you’re just a churchgoer—not truly a member of the church. That’s what we call “scheduled prayer.” It means you’ve set topics for prayer. And you’ve also set the time. You pray together. It doesn’t matter where you are. “At the hour of prayer, the ninth hour…” Muslims who took over the world do it four to five times a day, even while walking on the street.
24, 25, eternity
Then, one day, it becomes (24, 25, eternity).
This is the blessing you must always enjoy on Sunday.
3. Identity prayer
And today, pray all day, holding onto your identity. You are a child of God, right? That’s what you pray with. When your children are hungry, they come home and ask for food. That’s identity. No child ever thinks, “Will Mom give me food or not?” If they do, that’s a mental illness. They don’t go to other houses and ask for food unless they’re beggars.
Authority prayer
Then comes the important authority prayer. You’ve been given authority to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. He said, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions,” right?
This (Introduction) is your current timetable. If you had prayed every day during the six days before coming to church, you would see something different. Today, you must recover in this deep prayer. You must recover the strength that God gives.
[Mark 11:24]
“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Right? Because you prayed. At first, I didn’t understand this verse. I hadn’t received it—how could I believe I had? I didn’t get it. One day, I understood. When Joseph prayed, he had already received it. The rest was just fulfillment. When Moses held onto the covenant at Mount Horeb, he had already received it. When Samuel anointed David, he had already received it. So I thought, “Ah, I see.” God didn’t say to Joshua, “I will give you the land of Canaan,” but “I have given it to you.” Today, if you receive grace, it means you have already received it.
▣ Main – Masterpiece
At this time, important masterpieces emerge. Not just answers—masterpieces. Let’s look at them:
1. Joseph (Genesis 37:1–11 – 45:1–5)
Joseph. He held onto the covenant (Genesis 37:1–11) in his youth. He held onto the covenant of world evangelization as a child, and what happened? He became governor and moved the entire world. The moment you accurately hold onto the covenant, believe that you’ve received it. I’m giving you the evidence.
2. Moses (Exodus 2:1–10 – Tabernacle, three feasts, Ark of the Covenant)
It was the covenant he heard from his mother. That’s Exodus 2:1–10. One day, Moses was transformed into someone who moved the world. He began the tabernacle movement in the wilderness. The Three Feasts and Ark of the Covenant came through Moses. That’s how it happens. It may seem unbelievable, but the evidence has come. That kind of prayer must begin today.
3. David (1 Samuel 16:1–13 – 1,000 bartizans, temple)
In 1 Samuel 16:1–13, Samuel comes and anoints David and prays over him, saying, “You will be king.” He held onto this covenant as a youth. David went on to build 1,000 bartizans and fully prepared for the construction of the temple.
4. Early Church (Acts 1, 3, 8 – World evangelization)
Look at the Early Church. Pray today. Answers will surely come. The Early Church had no strength. They were powerless. But just because we are weak doesn’t mean we can’t do anything. That’s just our thinking. “I’m poor, so I can’t do anything.” That’s our thinking. To the Early Church in the greatest crisis, Christ personally appeared and explained: Acts 1:3, the kingdom of God. Be filled with the Holy Spirit only. What happened? They did world evangelization.
Don’t you see it now? What answers are coming to us now? The 5,000 tribes are beginning to flood in. Among them, those who are most prepared are the elders of our church. From what I see, they are doing extremely well. There may be nothing like this on earth. This time, it’s not the U.S. or Europe. Of course, those people are coming, but it’s the 5,000 tribes. Kids who’ve never even left their home country are now flying for the first time. The Early Church seemed powerless, but through Christ, the kingdom of God, and only the Holy Spirit—they prayed over this, and world evangelization happened.
5. Calvary, Mount of Olives, Mark’s Upper Room
I’m now sharing the evidence. What masterpieces did they leave behind? The event of the cross at Calvary was the greatest and most significant event on earth. Jesus’ crucifixion was the greatest event. The amazing thing is, it was prophesied in the Bible. Even more amazing, it was prophesied that He would die and rise again. That took place at Calvary. Then He gathered them and gave a promise and mission. Nothing else would do—only the work of God’s kingdom. And it can’t be done by any other strength. Only the Holy Spirit. Only by the Spirit of God. Right? Only by the Spirit of Christ. That’s what He gave. They held onto this covenant and gathered like today—that was Mark’s upper room. What happened there was something no Jewish person of power could accomplish.
It’s not something just anyone can do. But now, through you, many of the 5,000 tribes are coming. The reason I value places like Vanuatu in Oceania, the Philippines, and Latin America is that the 5,000 tribes are there. Honestly, even if we don’t go to America, the gospel movement can happen. But unless the accurate gospel goes to the 5,000 tribes, it won’t happen. People in the U.S. or Europe can hear through media. But look—they are completely in spiritual darkness. We must preach the gospel to the 5,000 tribes. That’s why we say America and Europe are important—because from there, we can enter the 5,000 tribes.
6. The three courtyards
On top of that, what do we do? We must build the three courtyards.
7. 237, healing, summit
So, our members and remnants begin the work of reaching the 237 nations, healing them, and raising them to summit level. It’s happening just like this.
▣ Conclusion
So what happens if we continue praying over this?
1. Platform
An invisible spiritual platform is formed first. Before physical illness comes, the mind and spirit fall ill first. On the other hand, before world evangelization, a platform forms in my heart, mind, and soul.
2. Watchtower
Then you are able to establish the watchtower that shines the light.
3. Antenna
Just like you can connect with the world through a cellphone, with God’s even more advanced antenna, you are connected with the whole world. Focus on concentrated prayer today. Begin the concentrated prayer that restores you without even realizing it. It works. Pray sincerely.
Yesterday, someone came to me after a music concert and introduced himself: “Pastor, I was once a drug addict.” He said he quit instantly upon hearing the gospel. That’s possible. It’s hard, but he said he quit instantly. He’s now running a business. I purposely asked him to write down his name and number. I said I would pray for him.
There was a king of France who was wondering, “What should I do for my people?” He thought, “I should build a cathedral.” He said, “Since I am the king, I will build it personally.” And he did. Then he said, “Engrave my name in front of that church as a memorial.” They wrote the name Charles VII. That night, the king had a dream. A hand appeared and erased his name. Then a finger came out and wrote a new name: “Zinzendorf.” He woke up. The next night, he had the same dream. “What is going on?” A third night, the same dream. Who dreams the same strange dream three times? Then the king said, “Find out who this Zinzendorf is.” But there was no such person. Eventually, they found him. He was just a small child in front of the cathedral. “Are you Zinzendorf?” “Yes.” “What did you do while this cathedral was being built?” “Nothing.” “Think carefully.” “Ah, there is one thing. Since our house is nearby, whenever carriages came in, I gave cool water to the coachmen and the horses.” This child waited and gave cold water. Back then it was hot. That’s when the king realized, “Ah, I see.” “Rename the church Zinzendorf Church.” I’ve never been, but I heard it still exists.
What does this mean? If you just participate in world evangelization and the three courtyards, even through prayer, you’ve done it together. Right? That child didn’t have money to give an offering, but he still participated. You’re praying every day, doing the three courtyard prayers with us. Just that means you’re participating. So today, may this be a time where you receive great grace without any conditions during worship, in the name of Jesus Christ. I bless you.
Prayer
Let today be the day of Pentecost. Let today become the day of Antioch and Macedonia. Let it be the beginning of the evangelization of Rome. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
