「The Start of the Temple That Will Save the World」
(1Sa 16:1-13)
▣ Introduction
We are ahead of the Missions Conference. What should our missionaries take with them? There are many multi-ethnic people and new family members here as well. How and what must we do?
1. Pray while holding onto the accurate covenant during worship – This is establishing the Special Bartizan of the Throne within me.
It is enough to hold the accurate covenant and pray for just 5 minutes during worship. Then, that prayer will continue.
At my father’s funeral, I held a precise covenant: “I respect my father most, but I will not live like him.” To the extent of world evangelization, I must overcome poverty, disease, and incompetence. That was accurate. The answers poured down like a rainstorm. New family members, you must create this as well.
On the day of my seminary graduation, I saw many churches and believers. Evangelism was not happening. That is the pastor’s responsibility. I prayed, “God, let me perform the evangelism movement. I want nothing else.” It took less than 5 minutes. In God’s eyes, I had seized the accurate covenant.
Returning from a conference in the US, I realized that adults have limits due to their previous “imprints.” I asked while on the plane, “How can we evangelize the world?” The word I found then was “Remnant.” For 20 years, God has continued to answer that.
Many churches are building temples. We also have much to do. Most Korean churches abroad do not have their own temples. What covenant should we hold? Even a brief prayer during worship with the accurate covenant is enough. This is establishing the Special Bartizan of the Throne within me. This must come first—building the special temple within me. Those who perform world evangelization will know. Just praying is enough.
2. If you have the heart, you can see the field. If you see the field, you will hear the pastor’s sermon.
If general people hear our sermons, they aren’t “interesting.” Most people would find it hard to endure my preaching. Right? However, those who have gone to the evangelism field are startled. Go and see for yourselves. If all churches truly saw the field, the words of your pastor would be heard as a sermon. Those who cannot go can see indirectly. If you have the heart, you can see it. Samuel placed that heart into David. He likely told him everything that had happened. “From that day on, David was greatly moved by the Spirit of Jehovah.” You know what kind of work David did, don’t you?
3. If you do not plant the Special Bartizan of the Throne within me, you will suffer due to food, clothing, and shelter.
Hearing God’s voice and confessing it will surely lead to fulfillment. But what must I do? Today, you must put the Special Bartizan of the Throne—that temple—into yourselves. It is so simple. How important is worship? You just confess it during worship. Some people daydream during worship; that is a big problem. Some people doodle; that is a big problem. You shouldn’t hear a man’s sermon; you must hear God’s voice and confess it. It will surely be fulfilled. You come to offer an earnest worship every day for that taste. Otherwise, you will suffer for food, clothing, and shelter every day. How can you do world evangelization if it’s hard for you even to survive? Unless it’s your occupation, it’s difficult. Everyone, plant the Absolute Bartizan of the Throne like David. This message from Samuel today is the end of it.
▣ Introduction_ The Special Bartizan Made First
David did many important things, but before he built the temple and was victorious, there was a Special Bartizan he made first. Do not be enticed by my words, but look at the Word of God. What did David make first?
1. When facing suffering – WIOS (System of With, Immanuel, Oneness): “God is with me now.” Even in suffering, He is with me through Immanuel. There is a plan. David had this beforehand. It became stronger after meeting Samuel and holding the certain covenant.
2. When tending sheep – OUR (Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation): It doesn’t matter what your job is. What did he do while tending sheep? What prayer did he offer? Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation. He defeated Goliath with that. He had it beforehand.
3. Human relationships – Always WITH: David was amazing. He never harmed others; he saved them. King Saul went mad and did strange things, and the soldiers said they must kill him. But David said, “God does not allow us to lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed.” Conversely, when Shimei cursed David and his subordinates wanted to kill him, David said to leave him be: “God told him to do it.” That is Always WITH. He had all of this beforehand.
Solitude is the time to fill myself, Wandering is the time to find God’s path, and during Difficulties, the blessing of Oneness is waiting. Remnants, do not be deceived. God is working through With, Immanuel, and Oneness. Solitude is not a lonely time; it is a time to fill you.
▣ Main Body_ Special Bartizan
1. The Special Bartizan of Youth (Remnants) (Ps 78:70-72) – 300%
You must find the special bartizan of youth. It is recorded in Psalm 78:70-72. While tending sheep, amazing things happened: praise, prayer, and poetry. Then, the skill to protect the sheep emerged. God prepared him as the one to raise the nation.
Youth, choose what fits best and is easiest. Like David:
1) Prayer 300%: The easiest path.
2) Occupation 300%: He practiced to the point of hitting the vital spots of lions.
3) Future 300%: It was already decided then that he would be king.
※ 300% (Specialization, Field-relevance, Future-relevance): Some think 300% is hard. I know a woman who cooked well and opened a restaurant just to make money. It failed. Even if she prepared her best, she didn’t see the field. Another place had very cheap food—they saw the field. Even if the food wasn’t great, kids flocked there because it was cheap. They saw the field and the future.
2. The Special Bartizan of Young Adults – 3 Camps
1) David, who received the important mission through worship and the message and was anointed: Samuel, the great leader whose words never fell to the ground, came to find him. He anointed David after hearing God’s voice. That is how important the message and worship are. Today, God can change your whole life.
2) Person of Praise: David was a person of praise. When he played music in the palace, the evil spirit left King Saul. This is the power of praise. That is why I ask for praise right before the message. The darkness is afraid of it.
3) David, who crushed Goliath – A crisis is the time schedule for darkness to crumble and the Gospel to be made known to the world: The time schedule comes. A crisis is a certain time schedule. Goliath attacked, and David crushed him. It was an opportunity to let the whole world know. This is the covenant young adults must hold.
※ 3 Camps (Holy Spirit Guidance, Holy Spirit Work, Holy Spirit Fruit): Because I lacked skill, I found this easily. 1st Camp: Don’t go if the guidance is not certain. 2nd Camp: Do it until the darkness is broken. 3rd Camp: Continue until a certain disciple appears. Then works keep happening and churches are revived. This is not our movement; it is the Christian Gospel movement to save a world in crisis.
3. The Special Bartizan of Church Officers and Ministers – 1,000 Bartizans and the Temple
1) He built the City of David to strengthen the interior.
2) He established 1,000 Bartizans everywhere to save the nation through worship and prayer. This Missions Conference is about setting up these 1,000 Bartizans.
3) He prepared the construction of the Temple, the world’s Bartizan. He finished the preparation completely.
▣ Conclusion
1. For what reason do you weep? – David wept because he had not yet built the Temple.
David did something at the end of his life that he hadn’t done even while facing death: he wept because he hadn’t built the temple yet. Why do you weep? Because of scars? That is a total loss. Because of your husband? That solves nothing. David wept because he lived in a palace while the Ark of the Covenant was out in the wind.
2. What is your 24-hour prayer topic? This changes your life. Then, 25-hour Kingdom of God and Eternity (00) works are fulfilled.
Do you have a 24-hour prayer topic? This changes your life. Then the Kingdom of God (25) comes, and the eternal (00) work of God is fulfilled. The souls saved through missions are eternal.
3. The resolution of one person can save many people.
1) Resolution of parents who raised the 7 Remnants: Jochebed sent her son to the palace. Hannah sent her son to the temple. Jesse sent his son to the battlefield. Obadiah sent a son of a wealthy family to Elijah who was near death. The answers had already come.
2) Resolution of the 7 Remnants: Look at all of them. Make this resolution. One person’s resolution—like Joseph’s—saves everyone.
As Remnants rise up, it is different. Like Elder Jun-pyo Hong who prayed today—he has skills and the Gospel. And his wife, Teacher Seo-jung Jeong—she has true skills and is “Only Gospel.” I met her when she was a middle schooler at a Remnant Conference in the US. People who receive blessings are different; the way they receive the message is different. I told her, “You met good parents and a good husband.” These Remnants will do important work. Prayer is a time to bless everyone—the participants, those with roles, and the speaker.
Prayer. God, let a new Absolute Bartizan be established today. Let our new family members not wander but hold the covenant. Let all Remnants, young adults, and church officers hold a special covenant today. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
