The 237 Nations and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (38)
– Bartizan 34 of the 3-day Weekend Age –
Scripture Reading: Genesis 12:1-3
Most believers do not really know how answers come, or why they come. I understand that in one organization, out of concern for the church, they held a gathering to criticize groups like Shincheonji. But what is heartbreaking is this: why do people go to Shincheonji? That lecture should be given. Why do they go, even though it is wrong? It is completely wrong, yet why do so many go? Right now it has even grown. This is something for which pastors in the church across the nation and the world must repent. Isn’t that true? Souls who are thirsty and struggling are wandering without finding the way.
So next year I plan to evangelize in about seven directions. At RU, we will cover what to do with church leader evangelism disciples. As for self-supporting churches, the more they struggle, the more strength they lose—so how should they evangelize? And in churches with many church leaders, what should be done? In your churches there must be established the 12 evangelism local churches that focus only on evangelism. How should the General Assembly evangelize? Right now, assemblies collect offerings, then someone says, “I will pioneer a church,” and they simply send money away. That kind of denominational evangelism will never be answered even if done for a thousand years. And what about evangelism for the three ages? What about the three fishing grounds that have been abandoned until now? Finally, we must evangelize myself. I must be freed. I must be saved. That is lecture seven. These seven lectures will be covered in the doctoral program, focusing only on how to prepare them—because they must proceed next year, they must be prepared this year.
▣ Introduction
So what you must absolutely know now is: why are answers not coming? I will try to make this brief.
1. Unbelievers – John 8:44
What state are unbelievers in? Unbelievers must hear this. No matter how they struggle, they are caught in this (John 8:44). Of course they will go to fortune-tellers, because they are children of the devil. From there they will be told some kind of direction. It will be wrong, it will be deception, but it will be told—because you need a path. Even those who perish need a way to go, don’t they? So if there are any newcomers or unbelievers hearing the message today, please remember this: you are caught here (John 8:44). No matter how you struggle, it will not work. Even if you succeed greatly in the world, it will not work.
2. Churches that do not know evangelism (17 darknesses)
And most churches that do not know evangelism ask, “Why are things not working?” They are caught in the 17 kinds of darkness. Most do not know this. Now you must really do evangelism that receives answers. That is why I have thought this way: “Ah, from next year our secretary teams must engage in evangelism movements together. If interns come from overseas, we should do it together.” The most important thing is this: if you open your eyes to truly do evangelism, then you will see all the answers. It is because you have not found it.
1) Me
So primarily, it is because of me—Genesis 3. Tempted, told that “you will be like God,” your eyes opened, you listened to the devil, and you ate the fruit. That is it.
2) My things
Then things do not go well. So you only think of “my things.” That is Genesis 6. It becomes Nephilim. You thought it was yours, but it became Nephilim—it is me now.
3) Success – Babel Tower
Now you struggle to succeed, but this is the Babel Tower. It collapses. It does not work. So you become very desperate.
4) Shamanism
So you fall into shamanism. That is why they go to Shincheonji. Because things do not work. The church has the answer but does not give it.
5) Evil spirits
So mankind struggles and struggles, and eventually they turn to evil spirits. Because there is no one else to listen to. They go to demon-possessed people and listen. Then it becomes a matter of life and death.
6) Idols
So they begin full-scale idol worship. Thinking it works. From here the frenzy begins.
7) John 8:44
Then this problem comes full scale. Then they create religions, idols, and fall into these things.
8) Exodus 20:3-5
Problems go down to the third and fourth generations. They cannot avoid it.
9) Mark 5:1-10
Then mental problems come. If it were only mental problems, that would be bearable.
10) Acts 8:4-8
But strangely, diseases grip them.
From here (John 8:44) the state of unbelievers begins to rage. This (me, my things, success–Babel Tower) is Genesis 3, 6, 11. This (shamanism, evil spirits, idols) is Acts 13, 16, 19. How could it be otherwise? From this point the full-scale raging begins. Because they want to live.
11) Luke 16:19-31
Then what happens? Even before going to hell, hell is the background. Living is hell.
12) Matthew 27:25
And they pass this problem down to their descendants as it is. The children do not know why their family is like this, they hate their home. Some children even attack their parents, saying, “I hate my parents.” Even in rich homes. One son of a conglomerate lost his mind because of suffering under his parents. He was in the hospital, and reading the Gospel Letter, he was healed. So the head of that conglomerate said, “Never go to church, but you alone may go. No one else must go.” He could not realize. So I think the six states of the unbeliever are really the raging state.
13) Matthew 12:26-30
It does not end here. Five more things attach. That is the 13th. Satan builds a house. He built a house. This is no small problem.
14) 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
It goes beyond that. He builds a fortress. So if you attend church but do not realize this, you will end up like this. That is why many church leaders fall into trials, talk only about trials, and do nothing else. Isn’t that true? If you do not come out of this, you cannot live. You will perish. You criticize and judge others all you want, but you yourself are ruined. These problems keep coming.
15) Galatians 2:10-20
It does not end there. Galatians 2:10-20—even hinder evangelism. Shockingly, Peter was caught in this too. It is obvious. Because Paul was doing so well. People said, “Wait a minute, he didn’t even follow Jesus. He is not an apostle.” That is human nature when the reality is unknown. “I am the apostle, not him.” So while Paul was evangelizing, Peter went around causing disturbances, hindering the church. Because of this, Rome could not be evangelized through him.
16) John 16:11-14
Then John 16:11-14—it becomes that the world is more pleasing.
17) 2 Corinthians 4:4-5
And the things of the world, money, become better. What can be done? They struggle and struggle.
Things get harder and harder. In this misery, you must quickly escape (Matthew 12:28-30).
3. The church that saves
So then, how did the church that truly succeeded in evangelism, the church that saves, do it? Several things are shown.
1) 2 Corinthians 5:17 DNA
We are a new creation. Our spiritual DNA has been changed. The physical DNA may not be changeable at will, but the spiritual DNA can be changed.
2) Galatians 2:20
I have died, and Christ lives in me. It cannot fail.
3) Philippians 3:8-21
So in Philippians 3:8-21, it says that all the things I boasted in until now—because of those things, things did not work. I thought I was the greatest, but because of that, spiritual problems came. The Jews, thought to have the greatest intelligence in the world, failed because of that. Because of that, the next generations failed. Paul realized this. He said, “What I boasted in until now I now consider rubbish.” More than that, he said, “I consider it loss.” And then he laid out all the blessings he had received.
4) 2 Corinthians 12:1-10
So in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, in the midst of deep prayer, he said, “It is better that I am weak. This is the grace God has given me.” That is what he said. This came out. So for church leaders and those in work, there is not much you must do. If you realize, it is finished.
“The work of God freed from myself”
So today’s title is: We need the work of God freed from myself. Unbelievers who are not saved, of course, cannot be freed from themselves. I will speak to remnants in a moment. Remnants also need studies that are freed from themselves. Isn’t that true?
▣ Main
So in the main point, we must quickly look at three things.
1. Me – freedom
You must quickly be freed from yourself. It is because you do not know mankind properly. To say, “You are the best,” is to not yet have properly analyzed mankind. To say, “You are the master,”—that is what the three organizations teach. That is knowing mankind only partially. If you truly know, you must be freed from yourself. Why? Because you must come out from the covenant given by Satan. That is the event in the Garden of Eden. You must come out from the life bound by Satan. That is Genesis 6. Noah knew this and built the ark. You must come out from the covenant that will collapse. That was Abraham. “Leave Ur of the Chaldeans. Go to the land I will show you. Through you all nations will be blessed.” And He said, “No one will be able to stand against you.” It must be that way—because he truly held the covenant.
2. Work – God
So it must be work that comes from God. That is what He commands. So Genesis 3:15 says, “The offspring of the woman will crush the head of the serpent.” “Build the ark to save yourself, your descendants, and life.” To Abraham He said, “Go to the land I will show you.” It is not “Go to a certain place.” It is “Follow the Word.” Then the answer comes exactly.
3. The world – masterpiece
And you must absolutely make the masterpieces of God that will save the world. This is how it comes out. This is how it must be to be correct. It is not “me.” It is the covenant God has given me. It is not me groping through a dark road, but God leading me in the road of light. If you make a mistake, young adults become very anxious. “How should I live in the future?” Does that even make sense? If a person who does not know his own house must always carry a map to find his way home, what would that be like?
How hard is it to go a road you do not know? Isn’t it true? Now there is navigation, but in the past if you could not find the way, it was very hard. Once I went to a conference in Russia. I had free time in the morning before the evening session, so I went for a little walk. I lost my way. Just walking around, I lost my way. I could not find it no matter how hard I looked. How could I contact anyone? I saw a public phone, but I did not know what number to call. Eventually I began to sweat cold sweat, just trying to find it. I thought, “If this continues, I won’t be able to do the conference. This is a serious problem.” The alleys in Russia all looked the same with many houses. So I went to where there were many people. There was one Korean person there. I went to him and asked, “Are you Korean?” He said yes. “I came to this church for a conference, but I lost my way.” Then that young adult said, “I am a member of that church.” In that moment, my heart felt at ease. “I will show you the way.” It was just right behind. But because I had lost the way, I suffered for hours. Do we have to live life like that? If you make a mistake, that is what happens.
So you who are workers and church leaders are important. You must listen to what I am saying and think carefully. It is not, “You must do this.” If you understand, that is the end. Isn’t that true?
▣ Conclusion
Then what conclusion comes? What must unavoidably happen to you appears. This is the most important blessing that workers and church leaders must receive. Now even the important path becomes visible. Actual evangelism becomes visible. Missions become visible.
[God’s answer]
So, when God’s answer truly comes to you, what happens? Do you worry? Do you become anxious? You have no time for that. But this answer comes every day. Then do you really need your thoughts? When there is no answer at all, then you must live by your thoughts. But when answers come every day, is your opinion necessary? Workers and church leaders must absolutely enjoy this. God’s plan must be so certain that your opinion is not needed. Isn’t that true? Answers must come so clearly that there is no need to fight, criticize, or conflict with others.
Let me give just one example. You know well. Joseph went into the field of work. He was placed in the most difficult place, but it was okay. His position was not high. He was cleaning. And there, God’s work began. Nothing else was needed. Then he was falsely accused and thrown in prison. As you know, there again God’s work arose. There, he had no need to worry. Finally, it was not that he submitted a resume. The king called for him. That is the blessing you must receive. He went and spoke, and the king recommended him as prime minister on the spot. Joseph was not particularly excited—because he had always enjoyed the answer.
Those who do not know evangelism, when they happen to evangelize once, they become overly excited. That is evidence they do not know evangelism. There is no need to be excited. There is no need to be discouraged. Answers are already coming in themselves. If you truly understand, the fact that you are sitting here is already answers coming. Isn’t that true? It is the same for our remnants.
I truly bless in the name of Jesus Christ that this grace will absolutely be delivered through you to others and to the church. Let us pray.
Prayer. May the grace of Jesus Christ, who is the solution to all problems, and the infinite love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be upon all workers of this age, upon the church leaders who will enjoy true answers, from now until eternity, always together. Amen.
