「The Watchman Prayer」
(Is 62:6-12)

▣ Introduction_ The Watchman’s Prayer

We are currently holding the world community worship service with Hong Kong as the host. We must hold onto the covenant of receiving answers. We have finished the missions conference — what covenant of receiving answers should we hold onto?

  1. The Watchman’s Prayer The watchman’s prayer. A watchman is a person who guards the city.

1) New members — watchmen who save the family line There will be new members here. “I am a watchman who saves the family line.”

2) Church leaders — watchmen who save the region Our church leaders: “I am a watchman who saves the region.” And so the seventy were appointed.

3) Ministers — watchmen who establish 1,000 bartizans Our ministers: “I am a watchman who establishes 1,000 bartizans.”

4) Pastors, missionaries — watchmen who save the world And the many missionary pastors: “I am a watchman who saves the world.” This kind of prayer must begin.

  1. The watchman — a person who does 24, a person who waits for 25, a person who leaves behind eternal things A watchman is a person who does 24. A watchman is a person who waits for 25. A watchman is a watchman who leaves behind eternal things.
  2. A watchman must have a bartizan of power. It is to save those who are on the journey, and to erect a monument to the one who made the guidepost. So a watchman must have a bartizan of power. A watchman does not stand alone on the road — there must be a bartizan. And so this watchman saves those who are on the journey. This is a watchman who erects a monument to the one who made the guidepost.

▣ Main_ The Watchman’s Mission

So then, can I really do this? This is what must first be confirmed. Can I really establish 1,000 bartizans? It sounds like a dream… There is that distance, you see. What must be done? When I came to Yeongdo at the end of 1987, I came having prepared to do world evangelization, but looking at our church it was absolutely impossible. I received grace through that very thing. When I visited the churches in Seoul, there were many outstanding people. Some congregations had as many as ten celebrities among their members. Some churches had conglomerates. But when I came to Yeongdo, none of that was there. I realized something profound. “That’s right! I am doing what is in the Bible completely. Not what conglomerates do, not what celebrities do, but what is in the Bible.” It is fine even if there is no one. Even if there is no church building, it is fine. Simultaneously we spread the Word movement to hundreds of places. In just three years, 1,000 bartizans were established. So that answer must first come out.

Can I do this, truly. Can I save the family line, that is the question. How, though I am a church leader, can I save an entire region? How, though I have been sent out as a missionary, can I establish 1,000 bartizans? “I have no answered prayers in my life of faith.” Is there anyone who thinks this way? What must be done? You must hold onto it.

  1. The watchman who receives and delivers the covenant given by the Sovereign First. There must be a covenant given by the Sovereign, the Ruler. This watchman is not just any watchman. It is standing as a watchman having received the command handed down by the king. This is not merely a person who guards a house. This is a watchman who receives, delivers, and keeps that covenant that has come down from above. What exactly is that?

1) Isaiah 6:1-13 God seated on the throne — raise up the Remnant. In Isaiah chapter 6, God appeared to Isaiah. God seated on the throne appeared. Beside Him the angels were beating their wings and praising — that is what the text says. At that time God spoke words. “Raise up the Remnant.” That is right. This nation has utterly fallen. “It will fall further, so do not worry — raise up the Remnant.” In our Korean translation it reads as “stump,” and that is where I found this word.

2) Isaiah 7:14 Immanuel is coming. And He said something even more important. “One is coming whose name shall be called Immanuel.” Immanuel is coming, that is right. That is Isaiah 7:14.

3) Isaiah 40:6-31 The eternal word of the Lord, those who wait upon the Lord And He gave evidence. “Go up to the high mountain and speak. So that all may hear. Go up on the rooftop and speak. So that all may hear. Say that I, the Lord, my word shall stand forever. Are the idols you have made God?” And then what does He say? “Those who wait upon the Lord shall rise up with wings like eagles.” He gave a covenant.

4) Isaiah 43:18-21 I will do a new thing. And what did He say? In Isaiah chapter 43: “Do not remember the former things. Do not think about the things of old.” How can one not think of them? There is only one way. “I will do a new thing.” And then what? “A road will appear in the wilderness. A river will flow in the desert.” He gave an extraordinary covenant.

5) Isaiah 60:1-22 Arise and shine. And then: “Arise and shine. The light of the glory of the Lord has come upon you. The nations shall return. Your sons and daughters shall return bearing silver and gold.” This is the watchman. You understand what this means. You are not just anyone — do not do anything else. Only a watchman who delivers the flow of God’s Word. A watchman who hears God’s Word and delivers it. A watchman who hears the king’s words and delivers them to the people. It is simple. When God’s power comes, there is no telling what will happen. When God works, even when you have fallen it becomes a blessing. That is right? You must hold onto this firmly.

  1. The watchman of prayer who moves the throne — do not let the Lord rest day or night (He is with you). Second. The watchman who moves the throne. When this watchman speaks, even the king must listen. The watchman who moves the throne — what does that mean? “Do not let the Lord rest day or night.” As though putting the Lord to work: “Do not let Him rest.” You as watchmen move the throne. That is right? What kind of watchman does one become? A watchman who receives the covenant and delivers it. The second thing is being a person of prayer who moves the throne. “Do not let the Lord rest day or night” — this means He is with you day and night. When you do 24, the five powers are restored.

1) 24 — the five powers and authority are restored. You see a bartizan that others cannot see. When you do 24, authority is restored. When you pray 24, you come to see a bartizan that others absolutely cannot see. When the elders are doing business, they come to see what others cannot see. Joseph was like that. Because he did 24. That is the watchman being spoken of. To put it simply, plainly — it means the watchman of the Word, the watchman of prayer. That is the second one. That is right?

2) 25 — the work of the throne becomes visible, the kingdom of God is achieved before you go, after it moves the work of the kingdom of God takes place. When you know 25, the work of the throne becomes visible. The kingdom of God is certainly established before you go. After you move, the work of the kingdom of God takes place. This is the prayer that moves the throne.

3) Eternity — a monument remains. If you find the answer called eternity, a monument remains. You must remember this. Hong Kong is difficult? That is not so. Africa cannot be done? That is not so. When God works through the power of the throne, it surpasses human strength.

  1. The watchman who holds the secret that moves the world — if you have this power, you move world evangelization. Third. One who holds the secret that moves the world. That secret must be there. What is the secret that moves the world? It was stated simply.

1) Prepare the highway — the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, the holy meditation age “Prepare the highway.” That is right. The one who holds this secret power will do world evangelization and will move it. This is the watchman’s mission. It must not be missed. What is the highway? We make the three courtyards where people of many ethnicities can come, the sick can come, and the next generation can come. When do we do this? It must be done during the three-day weekend. And the whole world is dying from mental illness. Open the holy meditation age, make people who can pray, and send them out.

2) For all peoples — the power to save 237, 5,000 tribes, TCK And what else? “Lift up a banner for all peoples.” That is the highway. Who are all peoples? It means the power to save 237 nations. It means this power to save 5,000 tribes. It means the power to save TCK. That is all peoples. Looking at Hong Kong, starting with Blessing there are many remarkable people. Those young adults will save TCK and NCK. God promised that.

3) Lift up a banner — plant the banner of Christ that will bring down the forces of darkness. Make all peoples come. “For all peoples” — do what? “Lift up a banner.” What is this banner? It speaks of the banner of victory. It speaks of the banner of Christ. In the old days when Rome was conquering the world, after conquering a place they would do one of two things. They would send a leader from Rome to govern it. Or if there was someone who understood, they would establish a local leader from within. When establishing, there was something they did. They would place the Roman banner right at the very top. From that day they had to be under Roman rule. Rome — that is how it conquered the world. We are not speaking of that. Plant the banner of Christ that will bring down the forces of darkness. Make all peoples come. Plant the banner of Christ there. You must know that you already all have it.

※ When we believe this covenant, when we believe and pray, history is made. So before enjoying this covenant, you must believe. Change happens when you believe. “Wow — this is really true.” When you believe, history happens. When you believe and pray, when you pray day and night, that is when history happens. This answer has been given.

▣ Conclusion

  1. Resolution — the watchman who receives the living and active Word and delivers it, the person of the highest prayer who moves the throne, the person of the highest evangelism who prepares the highway Today all our disciples in Asia must make a resolution. “I will become a watchman who receives the living and active Word and delivers it. I will become the person of the highest prayer in my village who moves the throne. I will prepare the highway in order to do the highest evangelism.” So it comes out simply. Because it must be actually practiced. What is it? It is holding onto the living Word. Delivering that is what a watchman does. That must happen. Praying 24 day and night, you come to see the remarkable secrets of God. Delivering that — the watchman. There is no need to succeed. It does not need to be done. You are a person who prays and moves the throne. Then everything is already prepared.

And last, what is it? Being the watchman who is best at evangelism. Does it not need to be made known? When a watchman sees a dangerous area, it must be reported. When a dangerous situation comes, it must be reported. So the highway must first be prepared. And all peoples must be made to come. That banner must be given to all peoples so that they plant the banner of Christ’s victory.

  1. The watchman of prayer who saves the family line, the church leader is the watchman who saves the region having prepared 300%, the missionary is the watchman who establishes 1,000 bartizans How does one save the family line? I always talk about this, don’t I. It is our mother’s prayer. Then it saves. To a remarkable degree. Truly not missing a single day of prayer. There are no words for it. It is completely changing our entire family line itself. You must hold onto that. A person called Bill Gates prepared 100% in professional software during his university days. He prepared 100% of the system connecting all the fields on-site. That is field reality. He built a company to do these two things. That is future system. He completely overturned the world. And it works. What kind of watchmen do our church leaders become? Watchmen who save the region having prepared 300% — that is what this means. That alone is enough. It is fine if you cannot do other things. And so all the missionaries must first establish 1,000 bartizans. Those three things mentioned earlier — do those. Then God will bring the people He has prepared and everything along with them.
  2. When you hold onto this covenant precisely, God will come to where you are bearing every blessing. Let me conclude. How firmly does one need to hold the covenant? The three covenants just now — hold onto these precisely, and just as God brought everything to where Joseph was, so it will be. That is the true answer. That is right? That is the true answer. God overturned history according to where Moses was. According to where David was. According to where Paul was, He moved all of history. It is certain. God will come to where you are bearing blessings. That is the conclusion. It is certain. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this week will be a time of receiving great grace. Let us pray.

Prayer. Lord, we are now leading the world community worship service in Hong Kong. The whole world is worshiping together. Please give this blessing of the watchman to all the saints who are hearing and confirming the Word. Let it begin from today. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
