Scripture Reading: Genesis 2:1-20
Unbelief – 99.9% Problems, Conflicts, Crises (Inside, Avoiding, Fighting)
People who do not believe in God have no choice but to live in unbelief. Therefore, it’s not just 90%, but nearly 99.9% of people live in unbelief. So, when problems come, or great conflicts arise, or a crisis hits, they fall right into them, don’t they? Alternatively, they avoid them. Or, some people fight. Most people are like that. If you fall into these things, you die. Also, some people avoid problems, conflicts, and crises. Those who think they have a bit of ability fight. Most live this way.
[Faith – God’s Power – True Rest, True Happiness (0.1%)]
We are not like that. We possess faith. As for what kind of faith, we believe in God’s power. Then, within God’s power, there is true rest and true happiness. Those who believe this are only 0.1%. When a great problem comes to your body or you face difficulty, if you become discouraged in an instant, you die. But even if you just snap out of it and take great courage, you come to life spiritually. If we make a decision of faith, God’s power descends. Then, the question is whether problems, crises, and conflicts truly disappear. They exist, but you shouldn’t be unaware of them. In reality, problems, conflicts, and crises exist. What should we do? Should we say they don’t exist, say they do, or say it’s okay? True evangelism disciples who succeeded possessed this power in advance and saw this. With that strength of believing in God’s power, they saw problems, saw conflicts, and saw crises. That’s why Joseph went to Egypt with great courage, didn’t he? Right? Joseph already possessed the ability to believe in this power of God. He went into problems, crises, and conflicts, but they all became blessings.
So today, as you worship, you must have conviction. With that alone, illnesses are healed. You must have faith. With that alone, your spiritual state changes. When singing hymns, you must sing spiritual hymns. When the choir praises, do you realize that truly the angels and all people are praising God? You must see it with those eyes. When the elders pray, you must know there is a covenant that is certainly fulfilled and participate in it. You must give your offering within the prayer that the economy of darkness will surely collapse and the three economies will be restored. When listening to the message, you should not be listening to the pastors’ sermons, but you must hear the voice of God. When these things are combined, a tremendous work occurs. We take this and see the things above. So today as well must be a time for you to gain spiritual strength. Now, what is the very first thing God gave us?
1. Rest
The very first thing He gave was rest.
1. Genesis 2:2
Looking at Genesis 2:2, He gave true rest to mankind.
2. Genesis 2:4-7
Not only to that extent, but in 2:4-7, He breathed in the breath of life.
3. Genesis 2:1-18
If you look at Genesis 2:1-18, He made the beautiful Garden of Eden and blessed them perfectly.
2. Loss
However, this was taken away. Almost most humans missed this. They lost it completely. Therefore, they cannot win.
1. Genesis 1:2
It returned to the original state. It returned to this side: Genesis 1:2 darkness, chaos, and emptiness. From what I know, didn’t Satan already exist at this time?
2. Genesis 3:1-20
Because he immediately attacked Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:1-20.
3. Genesis 6:1-20
Because they missed this blessing, the more they lead a religious life, the more difficult it becomes. They become Nephilim. If a person attending church does not enjoy the gospel 100%, it is the same as idol worship. They suffer for a lifetime. I mean, should a child of God suffer in vain for a lifetime?
4. 11:1-8
They also put in effort. It is even more of a loss. To wander away from God’s rest, lose it, and then put in effort? That becomes the Tower of Babel. If a person who has already boarded a pirate ship or a thief’s ship works hard? That person is an even worse person. If a person on a thief’s ship is kind? They are an even bigger thief. Because they are obedient. For those caught in Satan’s hand, the more effort they put in, the more it is a loss. You only need to believe.
5. Genesis 12:1-9
So what happens? In Genesis 12:1-9, everyone has no choice but to fall into idols. That is why He told Abraham to leave.
6. Matthew 11:28
Even Jesus said in Matthew 11:28 that people are weary and heavy-burdened. It is not the burden of manual labor. They are carrying the burden of sin and spiritual burdens.
3. Christ
Therefore, God promised the Christ. Because it wouldn’t work. Because even a king cannot resolve this problem, God promised the Christ. You must truly be sure of this. Because you cannot resolve it, He promised the Christ. Because it cannot be resolved with science, He promised the Christ. Because it won’t work even if some hero comes, He promised the Christ. Until now, the heroes of superpowers were people who waged war. Weak nations served as slaves there. As they tried to resolve that, because Israel did not enjoy the gospel, He scattered them throughout the whole world.
1. Immanuel
In Matthew 1:19-23, He said He would send the Christ and give the blessing of Immanuel.
2. I will give you rest
So, “Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy-burdened, and I will give you rest.” This phrase “I will give you rest” is not just about letting you take a break. It means He will make you escape completely from darkness and curses.
3. Matthew 16:16
So, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”—only through this name can darkness be broken.
4. Matthew 16:16 [Note: likely Matthew 28:20]
From that time on, in Matthew 28:20, “I will be with you always, even to the very end of the age.”
▣ Conclusion
[Worship] [Prayer]
Now, it is the conclusion. It is worshipping while holding onto this covenant. It is praying while holding onto this covenant. Ultimately, it happens according to your level, doesn’t it? “Let it be done to you according to your faith.” Ultimately, it happens only as you have thought. “Let it be done to you according to your faith.” Enjoying that is worship and prayer. I will talk about it during the first service today, but as you worship, you must find the greatest blessing. You must find it. You must find it so that it connects throughout the six days. If that happens, everything is restored.
1. The Triune God
Therefore, during worship and prayer, the Triune God is bound to work. He is invisible, right? What is visible is an idol.
2. Darkness
At this time, much of the darkness around you is broken. Right? During the time of worship.
3. The Throne
At this time, through the time of worship, God’s covenant—the power of the throne—comes to descend completely.
4. The Triune God – [Spirit]
I’m telling you, three things are happening right at this time. The Triune God is bound to work as a Spirit invisibly.
5. Darkness – Satan X
Darkness is broken, and Satan is bound.
6. The Throne – Heavenly Host
The power of the throne descends, and the heavenly hosts are bound to move. You must believe.
Then, a door for evangelism capable of saving 237 opens before you. Only then do you succeed. Your major and the job you have must be connected to the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. We call that success. True success.
I’m telling those of you who do music, please do it. Take a country like Vanuatu, for example. You must check to what extent they are doing music right now. It won’t work if you make someone else do it. Elder Lee Tae-eun and Pastor Kim Jung-hoon must look together and check what the level of music is in Vanuatu and island nations so that you can do it together, right? Then, when the door to the 5,000 tribes and 237 opens, the music you are doing becomes tremendous.
I once went to a conference in a remote part of Africa. What was the music like for these people? It is beyond imagination. It’s a total uproar. Some people blow whistles, dance, and it’s an uproar. The people sitting still are the Koreans. But first of all, there isn’t even sheet music. I don’t know what they base it on, but they do it. You must check this quickly. In music, that is tremendous. You must check. Taiwan—there are two kinds in Taiwan as well. There are the original Taiwanese people, and there are Taiwanese people who settled there when Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek came down and brought Chinese people. The original Taiwanese people were driven toward the mountains. The people seizing the cities are all those who came in. To what extent? Those two kinds of people do not converse. Currently, in reality. They don’t even worship together. They do it separately. But the original Taiwanese people are mainly in the mountains, right? They worship idols tremendously. Idols in every house. I went toward the mountain regions and was shocked. It was a total uproar when singing hymns. Everyone stood up and was jumping; it was an uproar. When it became time for the message, they fell asleep. What is this? You must analyze something.
Therefore, you must grasp a covenant with conviction today. That is the first path to healing, the first path to answers, and the first path to power. Specifically, our elderly adults must be even more so. You must truly have conviction and gain strength.
Prayer. May today be a day of gaining spiritual strength all day long, may all darkness be bound, and may the power of the throne manifest. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
