Prayer Journal: October 4, 2025
2024 Japan Evangelism Conference, Lecture 2
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 62:6-12
▣ Introduction
Yesterday, in Lecture 1, we said that God has set you as watchmen, and that if you hold only this secret you can be revived as life-giving watchmen, as our gospel watchmen, and as happy watchmen.
Now, in today’s second lecture, what you must surely remember is: What is the most needed thing for us right now? When we open the three-day weekend age, what is the most needed thing for our remnants? We must carry these points. How, in reality, do we do healing of disease? And remnants find study difficult—how should they study? First of all, a watchman must set up a bartizan. Right? Only when there is a bartizan can one be a watchman. Here there is something very important. You must surely remember it. As far as I know, most believers are not able to pray well. Why is that? If our remnants could pray, that child has already succeeded, right? But why does it not work? We must solve this part. They are in a state where they cannot pray.
① Nephilim bartizan → 12 strategies → Matthew 12:26-30 → spiritual problems
To put it a bit bluntly, this may be unpleasant to hear. The Nephilim bartizan is standing in me. Therefore I cannot pray. That is why God promised the Christ and completely explained to us the 7 bartizans / journey / guideposts. Now, this does not end simply; because the Nephilim bartizan is in me, Satan’s 12 strategies come out. Without my even knowing it, and without my even knowing it I become like this. Jesus said it! Satan has set up Satan’s bartizan. What do you think is the most urgent issue for your children? They cannot pray. It is troubling, isn’t it? If, among the remnants, there is one who can pray, they will come to conquer the world; this is the part we must now hold as a covenant and pray.
24 / 25 / eternity (witness) — You know what happens when this becomes established. It is fine for remnants to be anywhere. Because this becomes established, 24, they can find answers anywhere. Before long, the kingdom of God, the 25 answer, will come. Then it is for real. Wherever they go, they will become the summit. This is the standard. This is not going well. We must make this become established. This is your second commission. Yesterday, Lecture 1 said that even if there is only one of you, become a watchman. This watchman must set up a bartizan. Everything is included here.
Disease, summit, 237 (5,000 people groups) — Only when this becomes established is disease also healed. Only when this becomes established do you become the summit. Only when this becomes established do you then become a witness who saves the whole world, saving the 237. Even while you are simply there, because the bartizan is already set up inside me, you will save the 5,000 people groups.
② God’s bartizan / journey / guideposts — 5 powers + Ephesians 2:2 + transcendence of time and space + unprecedented and unrepeatable
This is urgent. In a state without this—let it be so for you—but if the remnants go out without this (7/7/7), they must study and can do many things, but they do not have this (7/7/7). Therefore, it naturally disappears. Set up God’s bartizan. Study with this bartizan. That is called the journey. Wherever you go, evidence comes out. That is called the guideposts. Then what you need not worry about is that a platform will be made. From then on you will shine the light. From then on that person will be made to enjoy entirely God’s spiritual blessing. If you just leave this alone, spiritual problems will come. You must surely change this. This is the standard for the remnants, and also the standard for you—right now prayer is not being done. This must be established. That is the standard. Even if at first it does not work, do not be discouraged and keep doing it. Therefore, by opening the three-day weekend age, by any means, with biblical things, we must teach the remnants. When this part becomes established in you, the 5 powers arise. Not simply arising, but arising to the extent of world evangelization. You receive strength to overcome the prince of the power of the air. Even setting everything else aside, the answer that transcends time and space comes. It surely comes. From then on, to the remnants and to you, an unprecedented and unrepeatable answer comes by which the life of faith properly begins.
1) The 7 remnants
There were those in whom this part became established—the 7 remnants. For the 7 remnants, all of this was established. Great hardship came upon their homes, but without becoming discouraged Joseph began to pray. Joseph could pray anywhere. This (24) became established. This (24) is the answer. When great difficulty comes, some people become discouraged, don’t they? When difficulty comes, they give up, don’t they? And when difficulty comes, we become sick, don’t we? Joseph faced extremely great hardship. But Joseph held this answer. He held God’s bartizan firmly. Then there is nothing to be a problem.
(1) In childhood — As you know, for nearly all of the 7 remnants, this became established in childhood.
(2) Late — Moses became established at age 80. Some become established late.
Regardless, what is the standard of our prayer? What kind of bartizan must we set up? Then, although unseen, answers come first, and wherever you go, the kingdom of God comes. In my case, I experienced this very much. Amazingly, as I said before, you know the church land we have in Busan? It was originally a shamanistic ritual site. But someone built a factory there. As I was coming down from reserve-forces training I saw it. “Ah, at least at this level it could become a church,” I thought. So I prayed that prayer, and beyond imagination it became our church. And you know our Deokpyeong retreat center? We originally rented it and used it, right? “Ah, it would be good if we had such a retreat center”—that became ours! God gave answers wherever we went and gave this important evidence—the kingdom of God came, not by my strength. Remnants, even if there are hardships, it is fine. Remnants, even if you have no family background, it is fine. If you have God’s bartizan, you can overcome anywhere. Even if hardship comes, it is fine.
He became a slave—he went as a slave. Thinking of it now, that seems simple for you, but back then slaves were dragged off and sold. Where do they sleep? Just along the way, in a warehouse. Because he is a slave, after he wakes up, brushing teeth and washing—he cannot. They drag them along as they walk. Others rode horses, no doubt. But these slaves were dragged. If they collapsed along the road, they slept there. If they died, they were just thrown away. That is a slave. Because they cannot wash their faces, what do you think happens? Sold into the hands of human traffickers, it takes several months to go all the way to Egypt. Slaves cannot even wash their faces for months. At that time, because their faces were not washed, they were not recognizable. So the buyer would open the mouth and look at the teeth and set the price. “This one has only two teeth”—the price drops sharply. “This one has all his teeth”—expensive. They would buy and take them immediately. Joseph was dragged there. His brothers sold him. Think about it. In such a case, one would be shocked and become ill. Joseph had a reason by which he could overcome. Though the Nephilim’s bartizan was in his brothers, God’s bartizan was in Joseph. Pray and build this. As you know, he even went to prison on false charges. Even there this answer came completely. Truly, when this answer comes to you, you can overcome. If we have hope, we can endure! No matter how deep the difficulty, when this answer comes, we can fully overcome. Our Japanese workers, set your standard here. Then works will come out. From then on what do you become? A witness—you become a witness. You are witnesses. Hold this covenant and begin from now.
2) Jochebed, Hannah
Let me give an example among parents: Jochebed and Hannah. Jochebed and Hannah had secret prayer. They had God’s bartizan. Thus they raised such important figures.
3) 1 Samuel 7:1-15; 16:1-13; 17:1-47
Look at one leader. When one leader, Samuel, who had this secret, arose, this work took place. He raised the Mizpah movement and found a figure like David. When he set up David, they completely defeated the Philistines. This is evidence.
Meditation / unprecedented and unrepeatable — Now you go forth holding this covenant. Especially remnants, just pray a little. That is called holy meditation. So then, what is holy meditation? Now, with what God has given, you do not just receive answers. If you are praying this, truly answers that people do not know come to you. Unprecedented and unrepeatable answers are bound to come. You will become witnesses to this. I cannot teach this to you—I have come as a witness. Holding this covenant, I have come to see this (unprecedented and unrepeatable) that God has given. After this conference, as you pray you will surely search and discover it. Unprecedented and unrepeatable—this is not arrogance; it is that God gives me unprecedented and unrepeatable answers.
▣ Main — Rhythm (breath-prayer)
Now then, to enjoy this blessing, we begin from now. From now on, you make this prayer become the rhythm of your life. Make it the rhythm of your life—this is the second content you must not miss.
But in the past I could not pray well. About 30, 35 years ago—it would be 35 years ago—I discovered a breath-prayer by which I could concentrate. Thirty-five years ago, and even before that, as I did this I was never once sick. I continually enjoyed God’s works. As I experienced the blessing of the throne, the door of world evangelization opened. Anyone can do this. Because you are God’s children, you can do this. No matter how difficult, remnants, do not be discouraged—hold the covenant. Our pastors and missionaries, this is important. Set up a bartizan by which this part becomes established and save Japan. If you simply catch this (rhythm), it will be enough.
1. Platform
First. From then on, what becomes established? A platform is made. A platform is something to which others cannot help but come. If you lay a bridge, they cannot help but come across. If you build an airport, people cannot help but come to take flights. If you dig a well in a small village, people cannot help but come to draw water. A platform…
1) 7 bartizans
From now on, keep praying. The 7 bartizans—keep praying.
2) 300%
Then this answer comes—the 300% answer—like this.
3) Monument
When it comes like this, you become witnesses—witnesses who set up monuments.
2. Watch-bartizan
Then, what follows: at last, a watch-bartizan that shines the light saving others is set up. It is fine even if you forget everything else.
1) 7 journeys
From then on you go the 7 journeys.
2) Healing
From then on, healing comes. Wherever you go, healing takes place.
3) Summit
Wherever you go, now a summit movement arises in which many remnants arise. In one sense, you need not know all this. If you only do this, it is enough. There are elders who, though they have become elders, cannot pray. Right? How unfair is that? You must build it. And you must tear down this Nephilim bartizan. If you build this, it disappears. It is fine to be anywhere. If a remnant can pray, no matter what situation they meet, it is fine. If you here can pray, it is fine anywhere. You are watchmen who will save the field and your family line. Watchmen, build the bartizan. Then answers now pour in. When that person comes, healing takes place.
3. Antenna
And you are connected to the world. It is an antenna. You are connected with the throne.
1) 7 guideposts
You can set up the 7 guideposts.
2) Absolute bartizan
From then on, what comes out? All your studies and all your work change entirely into the absolute bartizan. It is the same with Immanuel Seoul Church now. That place was originally a prayer retreat. While we were renting it and using it, “It would be good if this became ours.” I sought out the director and spoke: “Sell it; if you sell it, we will buy it.” “What will you do with it?” “We will set up a seminary here; there is much to do.” He did not sell, but sold it to someone else—for a high price, no doubt. One day, a large church was built there, and that church became our church. Truly amazing. Not only in one place, but in many places—wherever remnants go, RUTCs will be set up, and surely God’s works will arise.
3) Mission Home, RUTC, regional church
Thus, through you, three things truly arise. Your field is the Mission Home. Do not worry about the church. The place where you gather is the RUTC. You will save many. That is the regional church. Such an antenna is set up firmly. If today you enter into this, every solution will arise.
▣ Conclusion
Now then, we must draw such a conclusion. Today’s text is Isaiah 62:6-12; what is written there? It is Isaiah 62:6-12 that tells us to set up this bartizan, right? It is fine even if you forget everything else—first set up God’s bartizan inside me.
1) 237
From then on, this blessing is bound to come. When this blessing comes, at last this door will keep opening. The door opens like this. What is the standard for remnants? What is the standard for your work? The answer comes by which you can save the 237.
2) 5,000 people groups
At last the door has opened—the door of the answer to save the 5,000 people groups opens.
3) TCK
Among them are our remnants and TCKs. This answer is bound to come. Arise, shine, because “the glory of the Lord has risen upon you…the least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation; I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time!”
You must surely hold this message this time. It is important. This time you must make a resolution. “I will become a watchman”—you must decide. “Now I will set up God’s bartizan and save others”—there is one lecture left. How will we do world evangelization? We go holding the covenant. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that all your health and the 5 powers be restored. I will pray.
Prayer. We thank You, God. This time, cause God’s bartizan that restores everything to be set up. Cause us to stand as witnesses of world evangelization arising from Japan. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
