2025.12.14 Sunday 2nd Service
Devotional Worship for Worship Committee
Scripture Reading: Galatians 2:10-20
Today is the dedication worship service of the Worship Committee that is giving us a lot of important help. What must we find in worship? In the first service today, we talked about prayer. What must we find? If you do not know that, it makes a tremendous difference.
[ What is happening? ] First, when we worship, what is happening right now? Many people do not know. We are worshiping now, so what is happening?
[ The Triune God – Spirit ] At this time, the Triune God is working invisibly by the Spirit. So every time worship begins, we say, “God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” What is visible is fake. Therefore, He is perfectly with us invisibly.
[ Darkness (Satan) X, power of the throne (heavenly hosts and angels) ] While we are worshiping, darkness is being broken. When David praised, evil spirits departed. And the work of the throne takes place. This power appears during the time of worship and prayer. To say darkness has been broken means Satan is completely bound. When the power of the throne comes, the heavenly hosts and angels, the armies, are certainly mobilized. Spiritually, enormous things are happening.
▣ Introduction_ Satan’s purpose
Now, what is Satan’s purpose? There may be many, but there is one most important fundamental purpose of Satan. It is to steal worship from you. This is Satan’s ultimate purpose. He takes it away so that you cannot worship. Because this is the most important thing.
1. Worship – praise The angel who was in charge of worship fell and became Satan. Right? The angel who was in charge of praise in worship fell and became Satan.
2. The 12 strategies And then he used twelve strategies. He appeared in the Garden of Eden and said, “Do not worship God. Do not believe God. You must become like God.” That is what he said. And, “Even if you do not believe God, your abilities can appear as much as you want.” Deceived by that, they became Nephilim. And, “If we join forces and gain strength, we can do anything.” It looks like good words. That is the Tower of Babel. During the time you hold onto the Word and covenant, this work takes place. You must believe it firmly. What is visible is fake. Everything is working invisibly. But these twelve strategies are all appearing exactly as they are. You may think you can listen lightly, but if you look at unbelievers who do musicals or music, it is all this (Satan’s twelve strategies) content. “You are the best. We are one.” It feels like good words, right? “You are the best. We must become one. You are not alone.” These words are all the cultural messages of the three organizations. They look so good. In this way, they make people unable to worship God. “Hey, even if you do not believe God, answers come.” And then what do they make? If you make it, answers come, right? That is fake. If you worship idols, do answers come or not? They come. Demons come and touch people. And then later they make them fall completely into a snare. Twelve strategies. It is ridiculous, right.
3. Matthew 4:1–11 This Satan, if you look at Matthew chapter 4 verses 1 to 11, appeared to Jesus. Knowing that Jesus fasted forty days, he appeared. In our Korean Bible it says “bread” as “rice cake,” but originally it is bread, bread. Knowing Jesus would be hungry after forty days, he brought a stone like bread. He tempted Him, telling Him to make bread from this stone and eat. So Jesus immediately attacked with the Word. He attacked with the Word of Deuteronomy. “Man shall not live on bread alone.” After that, he placed an even greater test. The greatest test for people is when pride is struck. Right? If you touch pride and the desire for honor, almost everyone collapses. “Are you not the Son of God? Then jump down from that mountain peak.” And then he even quotes Scripture. “Will not angels come and lift up your feet?” He comes with a test like that. So when Jesus attacked again with the Word, “Do not put the Lord your God to the test,” the last one is important. This is Satan’s purpose. What did he say? “I will give you all these things. Worship me.” This is what Satan says. So he is telling you to change the object of worship. The day he takes worship from you, he takes everything from you. So when we look, we know right away when we see people receiving answers. These people do not miss the flow of the worship message. Even a student who studied with the “Chongjae Vision Scholarship” became a professor, and lives in America, yet does not miss a single message. But if there are any remnants living while completely missing worship, you cannot even tell where they are. If there is one most important act among human actions, it is worship. Right? So whenever we do something important, we worship. A wedding is worship; when a baby is born, worship again; when someone dies, worship again; even after burial, worship again. Because it is the most important thing. So if our young adults are truly going to have a wedding, they must worship in the sanctuary. I want to ask this. Because this is truly important. Whenever I go to officiate, the bride says, “Please preach only five minutes.” “Okay.” I cannot give the message. There must be reasons. Family relationships, or many unbelievers coming. If so, it must be done in the church even more. Right? If unbelieving parents never come to church, if they do not come then, when will they come? If it were me, I would say calmly, “Oh, if it is uncomfortable, please do not come.” Would they not come? Unbelievers must come to church and hear the message. And your start—marriage is an important start—so you must start with worship. Satan steals worship from you. If there is someone whose worship is not going well, they will fail. When you say, “My worship does not work,” the most important thing is already not working. That is Satan’s purpose. He takes everything.
4. Galatians 2:10–20 Let us look at today’s main text. It is the text we read today. With this, does worship even work? Even Peter and Barnabas do not know what the covenant God gave is. “Shouldn’t we keep the Jewish law?” it comes out like that. Paul, a scholar who is the top expert in Jewish law, asks them. It is absurd. “Do you even know the Jewish law?” That is what he is saying. “Do you keep it? Then how can you tell Gentiles to keep what you yourselves cannot keep?” Not a small test entered into the church. There, in Galatians chapter 2 verse 20, Paul made a confession that saves the world.
[ RT 7 ] Now, we need to look at the people who found worship. Surely. Among those who found worship, there are many to talk about, but you know the seven remnants (RT 7). They found worship when they were young. So Joseph was different. In that environment, unbelievers looked at him and said, “He is filled with the Spirit of the LORD.” Unbelievers looked at him and said, “The LORD blesses you in everything.” That is the standard of worship and answers. No matter what anyone says. Your relatives look at you and say, “God is blessing you.” If there is the greatest blessing for our future generations, it is that unbelievers look and say, “God is blessing you. God is alive.” This. Therefore, you must regard worship as the most important, and only then can you gain strength on weekdays. As days go by, you must gain strength and receive grace. Otherwise, as you get a little older, a rapid situation comes. You must gain strength. Especially our elders and deaconesses must gain strength. The characteristics of the seven remnants are like that. So what is their common point? They succeeded in this (introduction). They broke all of this and succeeded in worship. As you know, we do not need to see it all, but someone like Daniel, alone.
[ 1·3·8, 2:1–27, 19:8 ] The greatest worship success of the early church was that they promised Christ, the kingdom of God, and only the Holy Spirit. This is what Mark’s upper room connected. Paul held onto this covenant as it was.
Even now, surely, while you worship and during the six days of prayer, the Triune God works first spiritually so that no one can block it. So many people are not interested. Why? Because it is not visible. Work happens only when darkness is broken. Right? The work happens when the kingdom of God comes. This is continuing right now. When is it?
▣ Main
1. Covenant First. When you hold onto God’s accurate covenant.
2. Camp of light Worship is the camp of light that overcomes darkness. When you hold that covenant.
3. The bartizan of the throne, journey, guidepost. Worship is where the bartizan of the throne, the journey, and the guidepost are fulfilled. At that time, these (The Triune God – Spirit, Darkness (Satan) X, power of the throne (heavenly hosts and angels)) things happen. The more important conclusion is that when you can worship personally, another work begins. You must believe the covenant. You must not become like unbelievers.
You are sitting here holding the covenant, and work happens in other places. We held the covenant and prayed, and the forces of darkness outside collapse. You must believe it. “Oh, hardship came to us?” Wait. “Why do I pray and answers do not come?” No-answer is better. Many people misunderstand. So they miss everything. They miss world evangelization. In the future, through you, the doors of world evangelization will open greatly. Watch. We are laying the highway now. Many people—Joseph’s brothers did not defeat Joseph, right? Saul did not defeat David, right? They made mistakes. They did not win. We keep misunderstanding. So remnants come in starting with misunderstanding. “Ah, my home is… because of my father and mother, I am… it is hard.” Like that. They began with misunderstanding already. “It has nothing to do with your father and mother. They are only people you should be thankful to for giving birth to you. The greatest blessing is that they guided you so you can know the gospel. For the rest, you must live receiving God’s grace.” “If you do not fix that thinking, you will suffer forever and ever.” If you think wrongly first, you cannot see answers. How can you believe these (The Triune God – Spirit, Darkness (Satan) X, power of the throne (heavenly hosts and angels)) facts. A 100-won coin looks better. The Triune God is not even visible.
4. Covenant So these (The Triune God – Spirit, Darkness (Satan) X, power of the throne (heavenly hosts and angels)) works must happen, and it happens when you hold an accurate covenant.
1) Gospel. If the covenant has missed the gospel, it is not truly a covenant. When you hold a covenant related to the gospel.
2) Evangelism. When you hold a connected covenant like evangelism that must save people.
3) Acts 9:15, 11:25–26, 18:1–4. Finally, look. To Paul, “He is my chosen instrument.” This Paul met Barnabas. And after that, he met the couple Priscilla. He held onto the complete covenant. So God gathered everything to Paul. You must believe and wait.
And in our church, find just a few people—go find Pastor Hwang. Select a few evangelism special forces. And in this region, we must truly do only that and spread the upper room movement in about 1,000 places. Prepared ones are waiting. So we must make a team that specializes only in that. So among you, try applying once. See what kind of answers arise. You meet those whom God left behind. That is the true answer. The pilgrims God prepared are waiting. The conquerors God prepared to overcome darkness are waiting. Those who have already been scattered by God for His use are waiting. The watchmen are waiting. Right? All are waiting. You must do the work of finding them. You must never use humanism. So simultaneously, in this region, the Word movement must arise in about 1,000 places. They do not have to come to our church. The Word must be delivered. After the Word was delivered at the lecture hall of Tyrannus, miracles happened. Should we not see that answer? When I first entered Yeongdo, I simultaneously spread the Word movement in 300 places. Real miracles happened. Even I do not know. Forty years feels like four years. I can’t believe it. You must taste the answer where God’s Spirit comes, the power of the throne appears, and darkness is broken.
2. Camp of light
1) Acts 2:1–47 Now, the camp of light that overcomes darkness began. This is Mark’s upper room.
2) Acts 13:1–4 Finally, in Antioch, Acts 13:1–4. The time came to be a camp that shines light. They go out as the first missionaries.
3) Acts 16:6–10 To save a greater region, they are called to Macedonia. They said it was an uproar. What happened?
4) Acts 19:21 It is not only that. They must go to Rome.
There is no way answers cannot come. These (The Triune God – Spirit, Darkness (Satan) X, power of the throne (heavenly hosts and angels)) answers. When these answers come, invisible works begin to happen. Right now, our church still has some seating room, but wait a little. When the highway is prepared and the work of the Word happens, I am saying to spread the Word in about 1,000 places. You are not listening. Because you do not go, you cannot meet. And even if you go, because you do not search, you cannot see. There are places God has prepared. Prepared people are waiting. Try selecting a few—among the ministers, those who can become special forces, those who will truly evangelize. We must save. Church growth is not the important thing. We must save. So now we must establish one team that truly works. Only evangelism. Do not give them positions. Only evangelism. And then we must plant the Word into thousands of places. Like the lecture hall of Tyrannus, we must break all darkness. That is the church’s work. In that demon culture, in that neighborhood sunk in darkness, Paul’s team became a team and saved them all. When do these (The Triune God – Spirit, Darkness (Satan) X, power of the throne (heavenly hosts and angels)) things happen? Then, when else? Who would send an army to a soldier who does not fight a war? Right? If you go outside and keep doing the world’s errands, and you have little interest in evangelism, why would God give you fullness of the Holy Spirit. God worked when Jacob wrestled at the Jabbok. If you sit at home, sitting next to your mother, boiling porridge, why would the Holy Spirit work there. It happens in (main). When you hold the accurate covenant, when the camp of light arises.
3. The bartizan of the throne, journey, guidepost What is more important? When this guidepost is established. Without fail. When the seven bartizans, journeys, and guideposts are established, what happens?
1) Three transcending The three transcending happened. Three transcending happens. Finally. What is it? Transcending time and space. Transcending 237–5,000 tribes. Unprecedented works happen. You are surprised. There is no choice but to come. Did this answer come to me? I have no ability. But now, enormous doors of 5,000 tribes are opening. So I am praying that our nation’s visa system becomes globalized. They must come.
2) 300% When this bartizan is made, what work of God comes out? At this time, the timetable of 300% comes out. What is 300%? The system of With, Immanuel, Oneness is formed. The system of only, uniqueness, re-creation is formed. Wherever, evidence comes out that God is with me. The Always With system is formed. This comes out exactly as 300%.
3) The behind-the-scenes covenant Finally, the behind-the-scenes covenant comes out to you. As God works. What kind of behind-the-scenes covenant? A secret militia? Holy Mason? Remnant Minister? These people are behind-the-scenes covenant holders, the people of Romans chapter 16.
▣ Conclusion_ [ Future generations ]
Now, we must deliver this blessing to the future generations. How?
1. Acts 17:1 Deliver the completeness of Christ.
2. Acts 18:4 Deliver the completeness of worship.
3. Acts 19:8 Deliver the completeness of answers.
〔Word〕 All ministers, when they deliver the Word in worship, are running errands for God’s Word. While reading, pronunciation may be wrong. That is the vessel of the person; the Word has no problem at all. So what preachers must surely note is that they are running errands for the flow of God’s Word. Without fail. But if you do not know that, you will suffer. Believers must hold onto the flow of God’s Word being fulfilled.
〔Prayer〕 Representative prayer, elders’ representative prayer is important, right? So once, Pastor Lee Seong-hoon was leading, and the leader’s prayer was too long. “Hey, who are you to make the leader’s prayer long? Elders are sitting there to pray.” That is wrong. When an elder comes out to pray, do you know what the elder must do? Elders have authority to bless. Anointed ones. Right? They must bless the people sitting here today. They must bless the preacher today. They must bless the choir today. They must pray for the sick members who could not come out. They must pray for believers who are undergoing hardship. They must pray for remnants who are far away. In the past, one elder even wrote down all the names on a list. Good. He prayed calling the names of children who were overseas. Good. That is why prayer is important. There is authority to bless. Pastors also have authority to bless. There is no authority to curse. Authority to bless. That is prayer.
〔Praise〕 It is the time of praise. This is praise that replaces the angel who fled and became Satan. It is tremendous. So if a person who does music has no gospel, spiritual problems come. That is why. Almost all get it. Because there is no gospel. This praise gives glory to God. So all angels and all the people praise God. At this time, darkness collapsed. This is worship. So the choir is extremely important. What you do. Honestly, for me, worship without a choir is difficult. That is how important it is. That is why when we had our gatherings, I asked, “Let praise be done properly and then let me deliver the message.” When David praised, evil spirits trembled and fled. Right? As you know, when Paul praised, the forces of darkness in that place began to collapse. You must remember this.
〔Offering〕 Offering. You may think this is minor, but it absolutely is not. You must do it with the most conscience, the most sincerity, with the best. Like this. You must teach children. If you do not teach your children offerings, you must not. You must teach them. “If you are going to do world evangelization later, you must take hold of the economy of light. You must take hold of the mission economy, and you must take hold of the remnant economy.” Rockefeller’s mother taught that from childhood, and Warner Maker’s parents taught it. This is all worship.
〔Benediction〕 And even though it seems short, the benediction is also important, because there is authority to bless. Elders have authority to bless when they pray. Pastors have authority to bless. Parents have authority to bless when they pray for their children. Right? So once in a while, at remnants’ worship, you must go and pray blessing prayers. Elders visit and go and pray blessing prayers over children. It becomes spiritually different. Also go to our multicultural people and pray blessing prayers for them. First of all, ministers and elders must go and do it.
Therefore, poverty must depart from you through offering. Because we must do world missions. We must receive the 300% blessing. Only then can we save others. We cannot fail to do the 300% that unbelievers even do. We must do it. Unbelievers—anyone with a head did it. Bill Gates, Sam Walton did it. Steve Jobs did it. Even in our country, restaurant owners all did it. If you go to Japan, every famous ramen shop is 300%. The ramen is different. They spread it across all Japan. They make a company and manage everything from behind. They continually manage so the taste does not deteriorate or change. 300%. So they cannot help but make money. We must do world evangelization. Therefore, we must succeed in worship, and with this we must enjoy it for six days.
I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that new answers will begin for you today. Let us pray.
Prayer. God, thank You. Let us succeed in worship. Let us gain strength for six days. On Sunday, let us give glory. Let us save others. Even now, those who are dying are waiting. Work so that we can preach the gospel to them. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
