Scripture Reading: Exodus 20:3-5
「Start」
We must now make a new start. Therefore, the start is very important. When I went to our homes, the church, and places like that, I saw that things were very difficult. You must start well.
The fact that our parents are struggling, sick, and have no ability, and that the church is struggling and sick, has nothing to do with me. If you think it has something to do with me, then the start is wrong. Parents are parents, and I have a separate mission that I must do. I should save my parents—should I be receiving help? I should save the church—should I go down the wrong path using the church as an excuse? Because the start keeps being wrong, things do not work.
When I went to Yeongdo, there was no church building and there was nothing. It has nothing to do with me. I opened 300 churches. That means I carried out the Word movement in 300 places. After doing it for three years, over a thousand real disciples rose up. That, too, is what God does, and it does not have a special relationship with me. You must start properly.
If I were a minister or a church leader in a self-supporting church, I would look for ten golden fishing grounds. If it were me. There, I would save the church and gather disciples who save the pastor. It gets resolved quickly. So if the start is wrong, it keeps being wrong.
So even now, no matter how difficult it is, you must start well. Then how should you start in order to start well?
Tomorrow morning I am having breakfast together with our elders. Why? Because that way, meetings keep happening, and the message gets delivered. I do that when I go to Busan, and I do that when I go to Seoul. At the meal table where I eat, elders take turns and join by department, like this. So I listen to what they have to say, and also what I want to say, I give missions as well, and I do it like that. People ask a lot, “So how should we start?”
[ Word, Prayer, Salvation ]
Clearly, three things are taking place.
Fulfillment of the Word. That is right. If you cannot see this, you cannot see anything. To what extent is the fulfillment of the Word happening to me? It does not have to be exactly like this remnant; I do not have to be. It is what fits me.
This (prayer) is surely being answered. Then shouldn’t I check, ‘To what extent am I being answered?’ If you do not do this and keep saying there is no answer, that does not make sense.
The work of salvation is surely taking place. Though God is one, God works through the Word; though God is one, Christ works through salvation; and the power of the Holy Spirit works through our prayer. It is taking place even now. It is happening even now, I tell you. Then where am I within this? That is the thing.
So tomorrow, with the elders, I intend to talk about how three types of church leaders received answers. This is extremely important.
So if someone were to entrust me with denominational evangelism, I would not plant churches until perfect disciples are made. You must do that and then begin planting. If only the start is right, anyone receives answers. If the start is wrong, anyone cannot receive answers. So how important is the start? Therefore, it must be started so that evangelism surely takes place, and so that answers are received.
It is not about working hard. There are people who received answers even though they did nothing at all. Who are they? There is someone who received the greatest answers even though he did no evangelism at all. It is Theophilus. Theophilus is a main figure of the Acts of the Apostles. It is a letter that Luke sent to Theophilus. It is tremendous. I am inside this.
So ministers and church leaders in self-supporting churches must open their eyes. Like this, there are people whom God has completely prepared. Do we need the pastor’s ability? In fact, we do not need it. Do we believe in God’s power and do it, or do we believe in a person’s ability and do it?
Do we need a person’s comfort? These days, many lectures like that come out. All of that is nonsense. That is why people die. We need God’s comfort. That is what someone who does not believe in God says; a person’s comfort is not the answer. Even for women, when it comes down to it, is the husband really a comfort? And if a woman is like that, I understand. For a man, do you say, does he really need a woman’s comfort that much? There was a certain old maid who was a very smart woman, and when I asked, “Why don’t you get married?” she said there is no man. “It’s a world full of men. There are 4 billion.” She said there is no guy worthy of being her husband. “Okay, I got it.” That’s what I said. She is someone who succeeded abroad, and she says that.
If, I mean, if the church leaders come in this time and do RU, they should not just do it, but start by finding the answer: ‘What answers will I truly receive throughout my life? What does God want from me? How will I serve my church, our church?’ Shouldn’t we start after finding that answer? Then answers have no choice but to come.
If, I mean, if the church leaders come in this time and do RU, they should not just do it, but I truly, what answers will I receive throughout my life? What does God want from me? How will I serve my church, our church? Shouldn’t we start after finding that answer? Then answers have no choice but to come.
▣ Introduction _ 0.1% 「One person」
0.1%—one person is enough. This is not arrogance. It is not saying I will do it alone. It is this: if it is just one of you, God can do it.
1. Abraham – Joseph
It is Abraham. He kept starting wrongly, I tell you. So wherever he went, difficulties came. Death came, in every place he went. He realizes it. Now he began to start correctly. From that time, he began to build altars. Completely, through the later generation called Joseph, world evangelization was accomplished.
2. Slave – Moses
But then, in Egypt, they started wrongly again. They became slaves. Like this, people keep starting wrongly. Here, God raised up a person called Moses.
3. Monarchy age – David
As time passed, the monarchy age came. They made an almost wrong start. Here, who is the representative figure? David. So he received God’s guidance as king of kings.
4. Captivity age – Daniel 1:8-9
When a figure like David disappears, problems come again. I am telling you clear evidence now. The captivity age came. At this time, as you know, they were people who held onto the covenant of 0.1%. Whose covenant did they hold? They held the covenant of Isaiah. They made a firm decision. They started properly. They know why they became captives. They know what they must do. They know why they came here. So there is no reason to start wrongly. They know why God sent them to this high position. There is nothing to conflict over. The answer became clear. This overturned 237, 5,000 tribes.
5. Roman age – Wanderers – The remaining ones
Even so, because they could not understand, now, as the Roman age opened, the age of wanderers came altogether. God scattered the 0.1% remaining ones and carried out world evangelization. This is clear evidence.
▣ Main message
Then why is that?
1. Darkness
Most of these people do not know what darkness is. They do not realize this.
1) Great powers
Because they do not know what darkness is, the great powers only do bad things. God has a great plan to gather 237, 5,000 tribes and do world evangelization, and when He gives them that power, they use it to do bad things.
2) Jews
When this was given to the Jews, they do even worse things? “The gospel is ours.” It is like this. “Yahweh is our God. The Messiah is our Messiah. He is a Messiah who will smash all your nations.” They are saying things like that. Completely words that deviate from the gospel. That is why the Jews perished. From among them, 0.1% came out, that is what it means.
3) Medieval church
In this way, after completely opening world evangelization, when the medieval church was opened in the Roman age, it does something else again. They say good things. They talk about merit. They talk about good deeds. They talk about all sorts of good things, service. They say you must live rightly to be saved. They do it all. They remove only the gospel completely. This is the devil’s strategy. He gives everything and removes only the gospel. If he gives you everything and then takes away your life, what use is that? You must open your eyes to this.
God is trying to make great powers and do world evangelization, but the great powers keep doing other things. So they say, “All roads lead to Rome.” God made Rome like that, and the gospel must be thrown into it. America also must realize that. God raised up America and put the gospel into it. Why? He raised up Rome and put the gospel into it. Because you do not evangelize the gospel, God raised up America. And He puts the gospel into it. He even raised up Korea and preaches the gospel. They do not know at all. Politicians do not know. Because they do not believe in God, they do not know. We did well, and they did not do a single thing well. The Jews kept doing bad things. This (medieval church) must preach the gospel, but because power arises, they fight again?
2. Reason
It is because they do not know the reason. What do they not know?
1) Original sin
They do not even know what original sin is. It is not because of Satan. They were tempted by Satan and left God. That is original sin. In the age of Adam and Eve, people did wrong, but there Satan attacked. Nephilim. That is the age of Noah. Humans exerted power and thought they could live without believing in God, and when they joined forces, that became the Tower of Babel. That is original sin.
2) Religion
Because they do not know that, they struggle desperately. That is religion. They struggle desperately. They go looking for shamans, they go looking for fortune-tellers, they build idol temples. That is what happened. Because they do not know the reason.
3) Flesh
Later, seeing that everything is like this, it turns into fleshly things. The problem is that it began spiritually, but everything ended up coming in a fleshly way, and they do not know the reason.
Why are there so many mentally ill people in Europe? They do not know the reason. The answer is simple, but it has no choice but to come. In that great power America, why is there no gospel anymore and why are there many spiritual problems? In Japan, the most important place in Asia, why are there many spiritual problems? You must catch it quickly.
3. Method
So we must know God’s method. What did He say?
1) Genesis 3:15
In Genesis 3:15, “The offspring of the woman will strike the head of the serpent.” Other than this, it will not do. Satan is not a being that dies. The head of Satan—this means He broke Satan’s authority.
2) Genesis 6:14
And what is it? “Enter into the ark.” That is the only condition. You must enter to live. It does not get solved outside. It cannot be solved outside. “Enter into the ark. For you, for your later generation, to save life, build the ark.” There are no conditions. If you enter unconditionally, you live. There is no other condition. I tell you, there is no other condition. He said if you enter, you live. Because it cannot be done outside. Because all die in the flood. It is God’s important method.
3) Genesis 12:1-3
So, “Leave Chaldea. Go to the land I will show you.” If you go there, it works. So Abraham, at first, could not understand this word. ‘Where am I supposed to go? I have to make a living, you know. I do not even have a child, but my seed will save many nations?’ It was not believable.
But one day, he comes to realize it. From then on, because the start is right, answers to prayer begin to come. “Walk through the north, south, east, and west. Walk through it lengthwise and crosswise. I will give it all to you.” He promised. That appears from Genesis 13:18.
4) Exodus 3:18
They keep missing it. “Go to offer a blood sacrifice.” These days, the people who translated the Bible removed the word “blood (sacrifice)” completely. Real theologians and pastors are the problem. They removed the word “blood (sacrifice).” They made it, “Go to offer a sacrifice.” I do not know who made them do it, but it is subtle.
It said, “A virgin will conceive and give birth to a son,” but they removed “virgin.” They made it, “A woman will conceive and give birth to a son.” Isn’t it interesting? Things like this are happening. Anyway, if they can just remove the gospel.
The Jews taught all the excellent things and blocked only the gospel. Isn’t that right? In every age, such things happened. Each time, God gave the gospel so that they would not perish.
5) Isaiah 7:14
It comes out again. Since ordinary people will not do, “A virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and his name will be Immanuel.” Before becoming captives in Babylon, He again spoke of the way to live.
6) Matthew 16:16
When they had completely become a subject nation of Rome. To what extent were they a subject nation? In Caesarea Philippi, whose name combines Caesar the emperor and King Philip, Jesus asked. There, they said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” A tremendous message came out.
7) It is finished
From this time, what is important came out. You only need this. Christ said, “It is finished.” What does that mean? He called them to Mt Olive. He told them what the message of “it is finished” is. They came down to Mark’s upper room and experienced it. Because they must do world evangelization with this, He established Antioch through tribulation. So this gospel went to Asia, to Macedonia, to Rome. That means He finished all of it. He is saying, go. Because He has accomplished world evangelization, He is saying, go. You only need to hold onto the covenant.
[ Illness ]
What is even more important, what is urgent now, is that because this is not being done, many people have begun to fall ill.
[ Imprint, Root, Constitution ]
You must hold onto the covenant as the sure main figures. The reason remnants will surely succeed in the future? It is because this covenant has been imprinted. This imprint is important. What is Friday–Saturday–Sunday? It is imprinting. It is performing spiritual surgery and imprinting. What are the three courtyards? It is imprinting. What does it mean? It is imprinting this (Main message). It is imprinting so that you start properly.
So why do we worship? It is to begin to take root. That is how we go.
Why is it 300%? If this blessing becomes your constitution, history will take place.
[ Word, Prayer, Salvation ] – Throne, Kingdom, Work, Heavenly Army, Binding Darkness
Even now, the answers of this (Word, Prayer, Salvation) are coming. They are coming even now, and the background is the throne. Even now. It comes upon us during worship tomorrow, and the answer is that the kingdom of God comes. The work of God’s kingdom is taking place now. At this time, invisibly, God mobilizes the heavenly army. It is the same thing, but when a fight arises, He mobilizes the heavenly army. At this time, as you know, darkness is being bound. Now. Watch and see. Now, darkness is being bound.
Surely. Right now the gospel has been completely missed, but it must be restored.
▣ Conclusion
The conclusion I will do through the scattered disciples.
