Lecture 1: 『 Me 24 』 (John 19:30, Acts 1:14)
Introduction:
In fact, the early church was in a situation where nothing at all could be done.
Not a single condition was in place. It was truly the worst state. Normally many people all ran away from there. So they all ran away until only about 120 people remained. So what did they do? They did “Me 24.” You all must receive this blessing first.
Introduction: Starting with prayer 24 (comfortably) – root/basis/foundation (Foundation)
The phrase “Me 24” first means praying 24 in the most comfortable way. This blessing must happen on the mission field. So it is a prayer that finds the most fundamental thing. And it is a similar expression, but it also finds the most basic thing, the foundational thing. It’s a similar expression, but when something is said to be spiritually lacking, we sometimes say the root is somewhat lacking. Similarly, when someone’s posture or attitude is not right, we say the basics are not in place. And when someone’s skill is somewhat lacking, we say the foundation is somewhat lacking. In English, it is completely “Foundation” — finding this is the point.
1)Day time – “777”
When doing this, it is the important part of prayer for the entire day. Without questioning anything, the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you do this (777).
(1)A prayer that revives – when doing this, without counting the time, in the morning you must continue praying a prayer that revives you. What you must be careful about here is: do not focus on posture or breathing technique or anything like that. Just do it. Just let the prayer happen naturally. If you start counting things like how many minutes you need to rest, the prayer will not happen. There’s no need to calculate such things. Just do it for a long time. Throw away everything that isn’t 24. You can even do it while moving. Then, without you even realizing it, this comes alive tremendously — the prayer itself. In my case, there is nothing fixed. I do it for however many hours, all while preparing.
(2)Blessing – and since we must always live by listening to the voice of people, during the day everything must be turned into prayer. The reason you cannot receive blessing is because of the voices of people. You must turn all of that into prayer and change it into God’s blessing.
(3)Answer – and then at night, there is healing through the Word, but it is about obtaining an answer.
I always do these three things. First, prayer must happen and strength must arise. And an answer must come out — otherwise how can you deliver a message? How can you help other people without an answer? During the day, all of you are deceived. Since you are all deceived, you must turn it into prayer and receive God’s blessing. What people say is all wrong, and even when it’s right, it isn’t truly right. We must find the important thing that God gives us, so during the day we are almost entirely deceived. We are also deceived by how we look at ourselves. No — when difficulty comes to that person, you must think, “This is not difficulty.” Will you really examine it to the end — whether it truly is difficulty? Joseph couldn’t even wash his face and was dragged off for months to Egypt, right? On the way, if he had thought, “Ah, I am in great suffering,” then that would have been death. But that’s not what happened, is it? Isn’t that truly the place of blessing? During the day we are all deceived. Take these three things and continue steadily — no breathing technique is needed. Just let the prayer happen long and comfortably…
2)Standard
There is a standard for doing this.
(1)3 Concentration – as you continue doing this, what happens? You come to concentrate toward God three times over. Our concentration toward God — no other concentration is needed. It becomes concentration toward God. When this happens, a tremendous spiritual event occurs.
(2)3 Setting – from this point, people cannot help but come to you. Because the whole platform gets built, they cannot help but come. That is what being “set” means.
(3)3 Answer – as you know, when you do this prayer, these three things become visible. The answer — this is the standard.
3)Goal – the Triune God (WIOS)
As you continue doing this, there is a goal. What is the goal? Even now the Triune God is answering. He is doing three perfect things. He is accomplishing the work of salvation, fulfilling the Word, and answering prayer. This is “with me.” This is Immanuel, being with us. This becomes Oneness. This one day becomes a masterpiece. A system is precisely formed. We testify with this, we preach with this, don’t we? We must not do anything else. God is with me, He is with us, and within all things God is present as Oneness, isn’t He? That is what is meant. Then the person who truly must be revived is revived by hearing your words. They come alive. A pastor preached, and someone was revived by hearing that sermon. Those who won’t evangelize anyway, who won’t be saved — there’s nothing to be done about them; but those who are saved are revived by hearing your preaching. There will be many such witnesses here.
Main – so today’s lecture, all day long, is on 24, and next month we will do 25. It must be properly done starting from 24. And then it becomes easy.
1.Work 24 → Bartizan 24
This must be established first before you can evangelize. Your studies come alive. My work comes alive. In the pastor’s words, the church comes alive and begins to revive. When you do this, when you keep doing this, this will inevitably come out. God is with me, He is with us, and something emerges where all things work together for good. From this point, what must be done becomes clear, doesn’t it? This is truly Bartizan 24. Now, there are three parts.
1)Word (editing)
Because something to do has emerged, you continue gathering 24 materials. Then the Word precisely works. Isn’t that amazing? This is called editing. You continually keep editing the materials. The answer comes out of the Word. You do it endlessly. Keep editing…
2)Prayer (design)
Then, following this, you design things in various ways through prayer, right? Then something important comes out of that, right? Something — now prayer begins to become visible.
3)Field (design)
Then now the field becomes perfectly visible. What does that mean? When the field becomes visible, you begin to design it. The door to evangelism begins to open. Do not edit other things — keep editing what has been answered as important. Continue enjoying and designing this within prayer. Keep praying 7-Bartizan continually. Try it every day — I do it every time I move. Every time I start something, I do it, and something becomes visible. It just happens this way. So the answer cannot help but come.
2.Evangelism 24 → Journey 24
Then what happens? In the end, isn’t the reason I live now to evangelize? This becomes visible, doesn’t it? This is called Journey 24. The journey begins to become visible.
1)The flow of the Word (point)
Then this is without fail the way to properly attend Sunday worship. The flow of the Word becomes visible. The flow of the Word doesn’t just become visible on its own — the point given to me emerges.
2)The flow of prayer (point)
The flow of prayer becomes visible. That point becomes visible, doesn’t it?
3)The flow of evangelism (point)
And without fail, whether an individual evangelizes or the church evangelizes, within that, within that flow, my point becomes visible.
4)The flow of the field (point)
Very importantly, finally the flow of the field becomes precisely visible. The flow of the field becomes visible, and from there the point I must carry out emerges. It clearly emerges. You all miss this and keep trying to do something hard on your own. What are you trying hard at? You strain yourselves greatly. At what? That is the mistake. It seems like it’s working, then it fails; there are very few churches that go from revival all the way to world evangelization. They collapse along the way.
5)The flow of the nation (point)
And then naturally one nation for doing 24 emerges. The flow of that nation must become visible for you to be doing 24, right? And then, at that time, what is relevant to me becomes visible.
Missionaries will be astonished. How is God’s history happening like this? Doing missions the way it’s done now doesn’t work. Missionaries suffer greatly while doing missions, and missionaries come and suffer. In a way. Because they worry that people might be offended if they don’t visit after doing a little bit of salvation work, they have to go again, and that is exhausting. There’s no need to go, is there? Right? What would missionaries go to earn money or anything like that? They can’t help but do the work of salvation, and that salvation work makes them worry about other things too. It all becomes exhausting. It would be better to just give them some money and let them go rest somewhere — that’s fine too. They haven’t gone around and seen things, so just let them go around, just travel around. In a sense, that is a true retreat. They have to gather every day and do things again, and missionaries, even if poor, have a high level of character. Having traveled the whole world, they’ve seen everything there is to see and know it. There’s actually nothing more to learn. It is about letting them ride this flow.
3.Church 24 → Guidepost 24
Finally, at this point, understanding comes. In the end, the church must be revived. In the end, in the end, what is the point of my earning money? I must evangelize the world — shouldn’t I earn money to serve the church? Right? And if you want to revive the church, you must do this. Here now something important emerges. Keep praying continually. I do it the moment I open my eyes, and then the next day, whatever comes, I do it comfortably. When something comes to mind, I pray. I do it comfortably — today I’m going to a meeting, I keep praying about that. If you find even this much bothersome, that’s a problem. You must not use humanism. Just — even when I get in the car, I unconditionally start with this. Try it. See what comes out…
1)Mt Calvary (John 19:30)
The point of Mt Calvary becomes visible. “It is finished” — every time I go to church and worship, and the pastor is preaching, I hear God’s voice speak to me. What I must begin — this taste must be experienced. I am worshiping, and God gives me a complete answer. What I must do — even the pastor doesn’t know it and preach it intentionally. He just preaches it. But God gives it to me as a complete answer. I am not doing well, but it is said, “It is finished” — that is the beginning. You must never miss this wherever you go. You must never miss this in your life. It is said “it is finished,” so why am I not doing well? This is where the true answer lies. It’s important to grasp the covenant precisely, isn’t it? “It is finished,” yet I am not doing well — that is the beginning. I have received this answer for decades.
2)Mt Olive (Acts 1:3)
This will come out every week, every day. The mission always becomes visible. The mission I must truly carry out becomes visible. Isn’t it absurd for an elder, someone who has received such a precious blessing, to not pray for a nation? Right? If you cannot enjoy this blessing of the throne, then you are the same as an unbeliever — smart people can live well even without coming to church, can’t they? Through the power of this throne, “the kingdom of God and His work” — this phrase is extremely important. This is where He begins to work in me.
3)The Upper Room at Mark’s House (the three feasts)
The guidepost of the Upper Room at Mark’s house begins to become visible to me. What in particular? The three feasts become the foundation. That is why He gave the fullness of the Holy Spirit. And with that, the future becomes visible. “You shall prophesy” — the Word becomes visible. “You shall see visions” — the future becomes visible. “You shall dream dreams” — that all refers to the same thing. The future — these parts that were only being enjoyed through prayer actually begin to come to pass.
4)Antioch (turning point of history)
Finally the door has opened. It’s tremendous, isn’t it? Look at this — the door opens like this. We will look at this later in Lecture 2, but once the door opens like this, without fail, whether it’s one person or two, it doesn’t matter — history continues to happen. A turning point is reached. Here Antioch is very important. Antioch is truly the turning point of history. Your missions is the turning point of history, and your serving of the church must become the turning point of history. This is certain. Why do things feel so dull sometimes — church members leaving the church, coming and going — this is the turning point of history.
5)The door (Acts 13:1-4)
It appears that difficulty has come, but this too is an important turning point of the era.
6)Turning point (Acts 16:6-10)
You will encounter turning points several times. Such amazing things happen.
7)Rome (Acts 19:21)
And what is it? Rome. In a sense it is the ends of the earth. In a sense, in every place there is a Rome. That is why Paul targeted the major cities.
So comfortably, even now, you must comfortably listen to the message within prayer. Right? When elders are praying, I must pray together with them and walk alongside them. Then why does the elder pray? During singing hymns or praise, one must praise within prayer. There are people who just sit blankly. Then during this waiting time, isn’t there hymn leading either? That becomes a very difficult time for you. Since you have to wait, can you just wait blankly? So you sing hymns. Then when you sing hymns while entering into prayer, it truly becomes tremendous energy. If that happened all day on a Sunday, it would truly be an incredible event. This kind of blessing — this 24 — is all being missed. It must be found and restored. There was once a church where people who considered themselves quite refined gathered, and I went there as an evangelist. In that church, there was hymn-leading before worship, but they disliked that. They said not to do it. At that time, that church had carpet spread throughout — in other words, it was a wealthy church. The first hotel built in Busan was the OO Hotel, in Songdo. The first department store established in Busan was Mihwadang Department Store, in Nampo-dong. It’s large. The owner of that — only such people gathered in that church. Wouldn’t their level be high? They disliked hymn-singing. So what did the session decide? Just play music quietly so people can sit in silence — they played music throughout. In a sense that may be fine, but what I’m saying is that these people didn’t know how to praise properly. You must let much prayer come out within praise. Because you are praising together, it’s fine even if you make sound. It’s fine even to make a different sound. That’s how important it is, yet the important thing is being completely missed — the blessing of 24 is being entirely missed. This must be found for them.
Conclusion
Then it becomes like this.
1)Answer
Without fail, the answer comes first.
2)Power
And then power arises first and becomes visible.
3)Blessing
During Sunday worship, the answer becomes visible, strength arises — this is how it must be — God’s blessing becomes visible first.
I have lived church life for a long time, served as an associate pastor for a long time. I also studied theology for a long time. I started late but continued for a long time. Originally I studied at a Hapdong-affiliated seminary in Busan, but decided it wasn’t right and transferred, in short, to Kosin University. There I did my undergraduate and graduate studies. And then I came up to Seoul, and since it was Hapdong, I had to attend Chongshin as well. So I did a lot of studying. So I went to many different churches. There’s naturally a lot to learn. But the sad fact is that almost all church members are not receiving this answer. Almost all elders are not receiving this answer. They keep holding on to things that are not the answer and suffer. You must change that. Right? One witness is enough. Here, you must receive the blessing and change it. Having seen this flow means you have seen it accurately. Can you succeed by grasping something wrong? Can you succeed by just following others? You must grasp the flow of what is working in me. God is moving me, isn’t He? But the moment you simply seek it, it unconditionally begins.
Haven’t I said this several times? I confirmed that I do not pray. I cannot pray. And though they say the Word is alive, for me it was not so at all. It was just sermon knowledge — reading someone else’s sermon, thinking “this is decent,” “this is somewhat gracious” — the Word being alive and working in me had nothing to do with me. I confirmed that evangelism was the hardest thing for me. And yet, carrying evangelism tracts around without knowing how to evangelize — for me that was impossible. Not even knowing what I should do, yet knocking on other people’s doors to evangelize — that was absolutely impossible for me. I saw the flow accurately, didn’t I? The flow must be accurate. “This is me” — that doesn’t even make sense. It’s pathetic — most of what comforts is like that, so one can bear it; but if it were only me, I couldn’t bear it — I saw the flow precisely. That’s all I did, and I don’t even know when it happened. It seems God worked immediately. I don’t even know when. This — prayer — became my entire life. It’s true. I cannot do this work without praying. And this Word — it is completely a road map. How can this be — when I read Acts, I ask, “How can the Word move like this?” Even now. Evangelism is finally becoming visible. “I can go there and do it” — this becomes visible. And missions also becomes visible. It doesn’t matter how much you say “world evangelization” — 237 nations have been analyzed. From that point, the nations turn out to be countless — 5,000 people groups. That is why we keep focusing on Vanuatu. It is a very important nation for opening the door to the 5,000 people groups. God caused this meeting to happen. There are many other nations too, but we also say the Philippines is important, because it too is a door into the 5,000 people groups. Why do you keep saying South America, South America? That too is a door. Among these, the place that can currently be done most effectively is Oceania. That is why evangelism becomes visible. So when it becomes visible, go and do it.
This kind of blessing must come. When your church members see evangelism, and now while praying 24, three doors are seen opening. This must become visible. When you evangelize, this person is transformed and becomes a person of calling themselves. I have been shocked not just once or twice. There was a policeman who came to Korea — in some country he quit being a policeman and came to our country to do labor work. This person received grace! This person truly became a disciple. He went back and evangelizes while working as a policeman. Most laborers who come to our country to work don’t earn much money, do they? They came to earn that, but the gospel entered in. This person became a person of calling, and that nation comes alive. What touches my heart the most is that one person (Salam) came close to death — because of believing in Jesus. At that time, I thought about all of you: “What if death comes to these people?” Inside I thought, “Won’t they all flee?” That thought crossed my mind too. “No, God will work,” “That person — God worked in them” — wasn’t it not something calculated? We received word from them. “I am fine even if I die” — not “I won’t die,” but “I am fine even if I die — our country needs Christ” — that message was sent to me directly. “Don’t worry” — they didn’t die, they survived, and history is happening. In a sense, this year can be seen as your best year. It will be the beginning of reviving the world. I will pray.
Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let what the Lord desires happen all day today, let us gain strength through prayer all day today, and let a work of healing occur all day. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray.
Amen.
