Praise
A Wonderful Savior Is Jesus My Lord
by Fanny Crosby (1890)
1 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me;
He’s hiding my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
He’s hiding my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He’s hiding my life in the depths of his love
And covers me there with his hand,
And covers me there with his hand.
2 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord;
He carries my burdens away,
He’s holding me up, and I shall not be moved;
He’s giving me strength day by day.
3 With numberless blessings each moment he crowns
And fills with his fullness divine;
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God
For such a Redeemer is mine.
4 When clothed in his brightness, transported I rise
To meet him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, his wonderful love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high.
Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day, He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The Holy Universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.
Scripture Reading
Romans 16:25-27
Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith— 27 to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
Message
24, 25, and Eternity
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su
▣ Introduction
1. Condition – The state of newcomers may be somewhat awkward.
1) Anxiety – Because of their past involvement with idol worship, they may feel uneasy.
2) Confusion – Because evil spirits keep attacking them.
3) Illness – They may become weak and fall ill.
2. Promise – “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised.”
1) Bartizan of the throne (wait until it becomes imprinted) – The Triune God is with us through the Spirit, with the power of the throne, and has finished all things of the past, present, and future. He gives us the five powers and the strength to overcome the one who rules the air. If you pray, He will reveal the future. Through the three courts, He will bring three kinds of success.
2) Journey of the throne (let it take root) – Since the Triune God is working in three ways, walk that path. Do not be shaken—go on the journey with the 10 footstools. He will be with you through the 10 mysteries. Take with you the five assurances in times of hardship, the 9 flows of the throne, and the lifelong answer. Today is your camp.
3) Guidepost of the throne (let it become your nature) – Believe in the power of the cross that has already finished the past, present, and future. The mission of the throne is yours. Experience the three feasts. Are you facing a crisis? It’s the best timetable. Receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit, enjoying 300%. If a door has closed, it’s a turning point. You must also see Rome.
▷ Do not try to fix it—let it disappear. Those who suffer from depression may gain strength through it. When the sick receive grace, they gain even greater strength and become witnesses.
3. Evidence
1) Some come because they feel a need for religion.
2) Some come because their family believes. Neither receives true answers.
3) What is needed is to discover the value worth staking your life on.
▣ Main message
1. The reason – Why God gives the blessings of 24, 25, and eternity.
1) Three events – These are still ongoing: the event in the Garden of Eden (“You will be like God”), the Nephilim (power), the Tower of Babel (ruling the age).
2) Superstition, religion, idols – Since the fundamental problems are unresolved, people fall into these, making things even harder.
3) The purpose – Satan’s goal is to destroy you through the six states. His final target is to destroy the next generation. He shows power like the ruler of the world and deceives like the god of this age (2 Corinthians 4:4–5).
2. The answer
1) God promised to send the Christ.
(1) Satan – King
The true King who crushed Satan.
(2) Disasters – Priest
The true Priest who blocks disasters.
(3) Hell – Prophet
The true Prophet who opens the way to God, breaking the authority of hell.
2) When you accept Christ – your identity (destiny) is changed.
3) Strength – He gives authority: “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy.”
3. Resolution – What kind of resolution must we make?
1) Ephesians 2:8 – God has called you by His grace. Grace means it was impossible by human means, but it was accomplished. “What caused me pain was actually the means by which God called me. The true answer is the grace of God who saved me.”
2) Hidden problems – These are true blessings. He has already given you the authority to overcome.
3) 300% (witness) – When the fullness of the Holy Spirit comes upon your talents, that’s when you become a witness who saves lives with 300% preparation through the Spirit.
▣ Conclusion
3 concentrations – 24: You must come alive when you are alone. You must receive grace from God. Therefore, practice the three concentrations—this is your 24. Pray briefly in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
3 settings – 25: Then the things of the throne will be set in place—this is your 25.
3 answers – eternity: God gives what remains forever. These are the three answers, and this is what we call eternity.
