Scripture Reading: Leviticus 21:10-12
▣ Introduction_ The Way to Receive Answers
Thank You. Everyone prays in order to receive answers. However, they do not actually know well how they should do it. Today, you must take that with you. There is a way to definitely receive answers to prayer.
Now, currently in Europe and America, many churches are closing their doors. Even in our Korea, about 50% are non-self-reliant churches. From what I see, it is about 70%, but according to statistics, it comes out that way. About 50% are non-self-reliant churches. Yet, denominations keep increasing and even seminaries increase. However, churches decrease. So, such serious problems have come, but why is that? It is because they do not know how to receive answers.
Now, there will be those here today who are believing for the first time as well. It is about how I must live my life of faith to receive answers. Also, our Remnants must survive alone when they go overseas or far away. It is about how they must do this. Also, there are elites who are successful in their own way. If these elites do not know the way, they suffer greatly. A friend I know studied well and became a judge, but he suffered from that day on. Yes, he suffered so much that he said there was nowhere to even get counseling. Now, for those who are sick, it is difficult, is it not? What must be done?
1. After Christ triumphed on the cross, all believers are the tribe of Levi, the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9)
Today, you must remember one word. It is the Levites. Originally, Levi was one of the sons of Jacob. Originally, land was not given only to the tribe of Levi. So, it was given to the eleven, but not to Levi. Why? It was to serve only the church. It was to only pray. It was like this. Then, what would they live on? While the eleven tribes held that land, they would give one-tenth each. That is the original beginning of tithing. That is given to the tribe of Levi. In a sense, the eleven tribes are not giving it, but they are holding the land of Levi. Because of that, they must farm and give it. To this tribe of Levi, it was said do not extinguish the 24 lamps. Do not come out of the sanctuary today. It is written that way in verse 12.
Now, but what does this have to do with you? When Jesus was hung on the cross and executed, what kind of event occurred? In the temple, there is the Holy of Holies and the sanctuary, and a curtain was blocking it, right? That veil was torn. In 1 Peter 2:9, what did Peter say? He said that all people are a royal priesthood. Therefore, since the victory of the cross of Christ, all people have become the tribe of Levi. Theologically, it is called the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers. Now, however, that was distinguished theologically, and it is about what on earth this tribe of Levi did. You must grasp that today.
2. The tribe of Levi that lit the 24 lamps and saw three things
The tribe of Levi was lighting the 24 lamps. Here, they lit the 24 lamps and saw those three things.
1) The flow of prayer 24 – Happy enjoyment
The flow of prayer 24 that can be enjoyed most happily. You must be careful. The flow.
2) The flow of the Word 24 – Strength, life
The flow of the Word 24 that becomes our greatest strength and life.
3) The flow of evidence 24 – Evidence given on the wilderness road
While going on the wilderness road, much of God’s evidence comes out. The flow of evidence 24. You must see this.
So, God is doing three things even now, is He not? He is answering prayer. He is fulfilling the Word. He is fulfilling the work of salvation. If so, you must confirm where our church and I are right now. If you do not confirm that, the fulfillment of the covenant has nothing to do with you. The Word is the living Word, and the gospel is the living gospel, but there is a flow—the things being fulfilled. If I do not align with that at all, answers do not come. You must not miss this. Everyone is the tribe of Levi. Everyone is a priest. Is that not right? Since the victory of Jesus on the cross, everyone is so.
3. Five things given to block disasters while going on the wilderness road
Now, why did He give these blessings? God gave five things to block disasters while going on the wilderness road. What are they?
1) Genesis – The cause and answer to all problems
What is the cause and answer to all problems? That is Genesis. It was given while going on the wilderness road.
2) Exodus – Exit darkness
Coming out of Egypt is not the problem; you must exit darkness. That is Exodus.
3) Leviticus – The flow of the Word, prayer, and evidence
There is a flow of the Word, prayer, and evidence. That is the book of Leviticus.
4) Numbers – When the 12 tribes confirmed the 12 regions, He made them enter Canaan.
When the 12 tribes confirmed the 12 regions, God made them enter Canaan. That is Numbers. From the moment all elders decide on one region, God’s work begins.
5) Deuteronomy – Before entering the land of Canaan, make this history an imprint, root, and nature.
Before entering the land of Canaan, make this tremendous history an imprint, root, and nature. That is Deuteronomy.
He gave these five tremendous things. In the wilderness.
4. Even now, the Word, prayer, and evidence are being fulfilled, and you must grasp where I am.
If so, what you must grasp today is that even now, prayer, the Word, and evidence are being fulfilled. You must grasp where I am. It is okay even if you have no power. It is about where I am.
A person named Theophilus never did evangelism, yet he received the great blessing of evangelism. Where was he? He was the person who received the Acts of the Apostles because it was recorded and given to him. So, you must always confirm it that way. Where am I right now—it becomes an accurate covenant only when you confirm this.
As I mentioned in the morning, when I was young, I realized that prayer did not work for me. I did not pray. Because prayer didn’t work. That was my current address. That is also an answer. Prayer not working is also an answer. I am there right now. But a miracle happened. I thought about and confirmed that, and God made me pray.
Also, in the past when I was a student, I always thought I was poor and did not pay attention to offering. I did not give offerings. One day, I realized. Ah, if there were only people like me, the world churches would close their doors. I am a very bad guy. It was realized. From then on, works began to happen. Confirm it. You must confirm where you are. You just need to confirm it. God is bound to work.
As I mentioned in the morning, because I lived as a minister for a long time, if you are a minister for a long time, if you are not careful, worship does not work. You should sit and worship like the elders, but it is difficult for this minister to worship. Ah, I realized that I was not able to worship. I said that to the pastor I was serving. Pastor, worship is not working for me. Then he told me to worship. To put it simply, I confirmed where I was. You must definitely grasp this today.
▣ Main
1. The start of the 3 flows – A Levite family (Exodus 2)
First. A Levite family started. Where is it? It is Exodus 2. A Levite man married a Levite woman, and the son they bore was Moses.
1) Moses’ mother who accurately saw the 3 flows of where they were now – The state where the children were dying
Now, Moses’ mother saw the 3 flows. This is important. The 3 flows—the Word, prayer, and evidence—are being fulfilled, but where are we now? Our children have come to a state where they are dying. Now, she saw this accurately.
2) Jochebed who planted the sure covenant, prayer, and the gospel and sent her son to the palace
Then what does she do? She sends her son to the palace. That is the only place to live. She sent him after planting the sure covenant, prayer, and the gospel.
3) Miracles happened in the palace, in Egypt, and in the wilderness.
Miracles happened in the palace, did they not? Right? Miracles happened in Egypt. She only did that. Miracles happened in the wilderness. You must grasp the covenant like this.
No, a kid who is bad at studying should start from where he is bad; if he starts by raising it a few levels, will it work? That is trying not to study. My skill is only this much. You must start from there. Right? There is no need to follow others.
When Moses’ mother looked, what kind of situation had come? A situation where they were dying had come. That is the start. So, the son—everyone, you know the incident. This is how he came to enter the palace. Moses entered the palace, graduated from the palace university, and learned many things. Later, through this Moses, 10 miracles happen in Egypt. In the wilderness, there is no one who received as many answers as Moses. The three feasts, the ark of the covenant, it all came out.
2. The 24 of the 3 flows – Levite office (Verse 12 anointing)
Second. That is the start, and what is the second? It is today’s scripture. Now, the 24 of the 3 flows has come out. The Levite office came out. In verse 12 today, what does it say? It said that the anointing oil was poured. Oil was poured. God has poured oil upon you.
1) 24 while holding the names of the 12 tribes – The priest’s clothing
What was he told to do? On this (breastplate) of the Levite tribe priest, there are the names of the 12 tribes. It means they did 24 while holding the names of the 12 tribes.
2) Watchman 24 – Do not come out of the sanctuary.
Also, the characteristic is: do not come out of that sanctuary. In that sanctuary, if you look closely, everything is there, but one thing is missing. There is the table of showbread and everything else, but one thing is missing. What is missing? There is no chair. The priest has no chair. What is it? Watchman 24. He gave something tremendous.
3) The three courtyards 24 – When night comes, the lights must be lit outside as well.
And the lights must be lit outside too. When it becomes night. The three courtyards 24. He gave the covenant exactly like this. Now, you must not miss it.
3. The 25 and eternity of the 3 flows – The power of the tribe of Levi (Numbers 17:8 Aaron’s budded staff)
It should not get complicated, so third. The power of the tribe of Levi begins to emerge, and this is where the 25 and eternity of the 3 flows come out.
What is it? It is Numbers 17:8. They brought the staffs of all the tribes and stuck them in the ground. God said to stick them in. A bud sprouted on Aaron’s staff. Aaron is of the tribe of Levi. Right? He is a priest.
1) Never miss the power of the Word during public worship
When you worship, God makes buds sprout even on dead wood through the Word. This is not Aaron. It is not Aaron’s staff.
※ God gives life to you who are worshiping through the Word, just as life sprouts on a dry stick.
It means God makes it so that life emerges on a dry stick for you who are worshiping. Everyone, you must never miss the power of the Word during public worship. Try it from now on.
(1) On Sunday, listen to the Word and imprint it through prayer.
On Sunday, listen to the Word and imprint it. Through prayer. Miracles happen. Try it. I am telling you to imprint it. You cannot memorize it all. Imprint it. Imprint God’s grace and power. Especially, our Remnants just need to do that. Remnants cannot read the Bible a lot. Are Remnants reading the Bible day and night? They cannot do that. Imprint what was worshiped.
(2) If you do personal prayer, it takes root.
Next, if you do personal prayer, it takes root.
(3) When the Word and life movement become full, it becomes a nature and the power to do world evangelization arises.
And what is it? Now, when the Word and life movement become full, it becomes your nature. Through this, the power to do world evangelization arises. You must never miss it.
2) God is in the midst of Word fulfillment, prayer answer, and the work of salvation; it is about where I am. If you grasp that flow accurately, answers are seen every week.
God is fulfilling the Word even now. God is answering prayer even now. Even now, He is fulfilling the work of salvation. It is about where I am. Only then is the covenant grasped; other people’s things are of no use. It is about where I am. There is no such thing as having to do well. You just need to confirm where you are. He did not say, “Adam, why did you do that?” He said, “Where are you?” Right? He said, “Where are you?” He said the same thing to Cain; it was not, “Hey, is it okay for you to do that?” but He asked where he was. In fact, that Adam was deceived by listening to his wife’s words. Is that not so? But to Adam. Not Eve, but to Adam He asked, “Where are you?”
Even now, Word fulfillment, prayer, and evidence continue to take place, and only when you accurately grasp that flow do works begin to happen. You will be startled. Then, answers are seen every week. Then, because the Word is being fulfilled, works begin from this time. Most are wrong. It is in such an easy place, yet they are missing this now. So, you must grasp the living Word, but because you miss it, it becomes unrelated to you. Because God is answering your prayers even now, where I am is important. And now, if the church—our church—confirms what part of God’s Word fulfillment it is in, and if I confirm my own, it is enough.
3) What happened when the covenant was accurately grasped
Then, because the Word is fulfilled, what kind of things happen? Unthinkable things happen.
(1) Jochebed – It turned into the work of saving Israel.
Jochebed only grasped the covenant accurately, but God turned it into the work of saving Israel.
(2) Moses – After confirming where he was, amazing things happened with just one staff.
Moses had not seen this at first. Because he could not grasp this, even though he became 80, answers did not come. Even though it was almost time to grow old and die, they did not come—the answers. God confirmed this exactly. A fire was lit on Mt. Horeb. How surprised he must have been. At that time, “Moses. The place where you are standing is holy ground, so take off your sandals from your feet. Go to Pharaoh and speak. Tell him that you will send my people to offer a blood sacrifice.” So, Moses was so appalled that he only then came to his senses. At first, he said, “I cannot go.” It meant, “I caused an accident there and ran away, so I cannot go.” It meant, “How old am I now, I cannot go.” They are not wrong words. “I am Jehovah. Say that Jehovah sent you. I am the I AM.” It means He is the Creator God. “I will lift my mighty hand and be with you.” Now he confirmed it. Moses now confirmed where he was. Amazing things happened with just one staff. You must grasp this covenant.
(3) Joshua – Since he saw the 3 flows, God confirmed the covenant of being with him and the land of Canaan and then God worked.
But he was with Moses in the same way, and as we will see in the second service today, twelve spies were sent. Ten people said they could not go. At that time, Joshua and Caleb confessed their faith. They confessed the covenant. So, these are the words God said to Joshua when Moses died. He said, “Just as I was with Moses, I will be with you.” Why? Because he saw it. “I have already given you the land of Canaan.” It is not “I will give it.” “I have given it. Be courageous. Do not be afraid.” He kept saying it. “Do not be dismayed.” Because such things will happen. On the way, the Jordan parted, Jericho collapsed, and an uproar occurred. Because God worked.
▣ Conclusion
You must take this with you today.
1. You are watchmen who light the 24 lamps and keep the three flows.
You are watchmen who light the 24 lamps and keep the three flows. Then, without fail, answers come.
2. If you are doing 24, 25 comes and you will leave behind an eternal masterpiece.
Many people ask like this. Today as well, I have meetings with our young adults and university students, and their questions are all the same. It is like, “How should I pray?” So, I wonder if these kids don’t listen to the sermons, or if I am bad at preaching. It’s one of the two. I clearly said it, and I said it a lot. It is simple. 24. You just need to be doing it. Then 25 comes. Then an eternal masterpiece remains. It is certain.
3. You will build the three courtyards, pass through the wilderness, and become witnesses who save the 5,000 tribes and 237 nations.
You will build the three courtyards, pass through the wilderness, and become witnesses who save the 5,000 tribes and 237 nations. While praying all day today, it must be imprinted. God’s power must be imprinted. Then healing occurs and everything occurs. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today becomes the greatest day of your life.
Prayer. God, we give You thanks. We thank You for the calling as Levites. Let us become witnesses who light the 24 lamps. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
