Sunday 1st Service, World Military Mission Conference Lecture 4
Title / Scripture: The Last Opportunity to Be Rescued from Darkness (John 8:31-44)
Speaker: Pastor Ryu Kwang-su
Date / Place: October 9, 2022, Immanuel Church (Seoul)
Summary
You must know that the military is the last opportunity. There is no guarantee that they will go to church after being discharged. Even if they go to church, they will not be told the important story.
▣ Introduction_ We must come out of darkness, but only Jesus spoke this word
▷ Pastors never talk about this. So I went to the field and saw.
1. The word Jesus spoke from beginning to end – Go to all nations (237)
1) He spoke this to Abraham – He said all peoples will be blessed through you
2) Because they do not know this, Israel, who received the gospel, and we have completely fallen into disaster
▷ When Jesus spoke this word, they were already in a state of being slaves, captives, and a vassal state. Because they could not understand this word, the descendants of Israel were cursed for 2,000 years. If you do not know this, there is no point in living a life of faith. There is no point in attending church.
3) You must find it, and you must help others find it. It is the last mission.
▷ How much will you be blessed and how great will the things you do be? There is no need to weigh that; you must do the important work.
2. The problem that churches throughout the world do not teach
1) New Age Movement (Genesis 3:1-6) – Exactly like the Garden of Eden incident, it teaches that you will become like God.
2) Freemasons (Genesis 6:1-4) – They are carrying out the Nephilim movement that makes people come into contact with spirits through the meditation movement.
3) 3 Organizations (Genesis 11:1-8) – Christianity is no longer needed. They will carry out the 2nd Tower of Babel movement.
3. At this time Jesus gave the answer in three ways
1) He said you are now in darkness. So He said that He came as the light (John 1:1-14)
2) He said you have become slaves (John 8:34-40)
▷ The Pharisees said, “Our ancestor is Abraham, and we have never been anyone’s slaves, so how are we slaves?” At this, Jesus answered, “Are you not failing to do what Abraham said?”
3) He said your father is the devil (John 8:44)
▷ He said, “You are children of the devil. The devil was a murderer from the beginning and a liar. You belong to this,” and we must make them truly know this.
▷ Without even realizing it, when a big problem comes to me, I perform a shamanistic ritual and go to a fortune-teller. Even though no one taught it, all over the world they make serpents and serve them. Invisibly, my spiritual father is the devil. Even if I stay still, I commit idol worship. As a result, I suffer spiritually for my whole life. This is then passed on to the children. If you know prayer, 237 is possible.
4. Romans 11:5 Paul quoted what God said to the discouraged Elijah, that 7,000 disciples remained
– Even so, there has become a remnant according to the election of grace.
1) He has established you as the remnant who will block the forces of darkness in the military. You must be certain.
▷ Do not listen to the words of thieves. If you do not teach this, you are a thief. They criticized Jesus, saying He played with sinners. He helped sinners who came to hear the Word. Giving people wine to drink. He helped with the biggest problem at the wedding feast. Covering up for an adulterous woman. He forgave the one who sincerely repented. Breaking the Sabbath. He saved the sick on the Sabbath. There are too many people who use this kind of Pharisee language. That is why they cannot overcome darkness.
2) Though you became slaves, captives, and a vassal state, you are the remnant. Do not listen to the words of deceivers.
3) You are the remnant called to save your family line in this age.
▷ The Pharisees looked at Jesus and said He was demon-possessed. If you do not know, you become like this. That is why they became slaves. Does it make sense to earn money your whole life and become a slave of Satan? It is enough to know just this and go.
▣ Main_ The truth shall make you free (John 8:32). Liberation from three places
1. Liberation from Satan
1) Satan has taken over all cultures with 12 strategies
2) He used the powerful nations to pour out war and curses.
3) He made the weaker nations fall into shamanism and die.
4) Especially, Satan used Israel.
▷ That is why He said your father is the devil. He uses the church. Emphasizing very good laws and systems, good deeds, service, and ethics, and great achievements and works, he removed and blocked the gospel. This is the Jews.
▷ We do not actually believe in the work of evil spirits and the work of the Holy Spirit. Believe this fact and try praying. It will be connected to 237.
2. Liberation from the curse and disaster that no one can stop
1) He said He would liberate us from the curse that Satan gives
2) John 8:32 You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free
3) John 8:31 If you abide in My word, you will be My disciples
3. Liberation from the background of hell that will be there for eternity
1) Hell is the prison of eternity for the devils (Matthew 25:41).
2) It is the place where the children of the devil go.
3) What is more important is that they are in hell now.
▷ They have a lot of money, but their spiritual problems are not resolved. They studied so hard, but hidden problems have come. It is already hell.
▣ Conclusion
1. The last opportunity
1) Pastors, do not follow the path of the Pharisees, but hold on to this covenant.
2) Church leaders, do not follow the Herodians, but hold on to this covenant.
3) Remnants and military ministers, hold on to the covenant toward the future.
2. The answer that comes when you enter into this covenant
1) While worshipping, I entered into the covenant, and one day this Word comes fulfilled. Because there is no such experience, there is no point in worshipping.
2) If you pray alone for the power of the Triune God, the power of the throne, and the power to save the 3 ages, the Word you held on to that day will surely come to you one day as an answer.
3) If you make this (3‧9‧3) 24, the door of world evangelization will open. Depression will disappear. Even if you do not try to overcome Satan, Satan cannot come.
3. What is 3‧9‧3?
1) Acts 1:1 You must know Christ for the Triune God to work in me.
Acts 1:3 He spoke of the things of the kingdom of God, which refers to the blessing of the throne.
Acts 1:8 “Only the Holy Spirit” refers to the power of the 3 ages that saves the past, present, and future.
2) He told us to pray this prayer, and the method is “only.” It cannot be done with anything else.
3) Try it during today’s worship time. You do not need an experience. Try it by faith. Try this every day. One day it will become 24.
Transcript
Soldiers will come to the military. You who are praying here and our military ministers must know that it is the last opportunity. They just pass through the military; there is no guarantee that they will go to church again after being discharged. I am a bit sorry to pastors throughout the nation and the world, but even if they go to church, they will not be told this important story of today.
▣ Introduction_ We must come out of darkness, but only Jesus spoke this word
We must come out of this darkness, but only Jesus spoke about this. You must surely tell them this. I have lived a life of faith since I was young, but I did not hear it until I became an adult. Pastors absolutely never spoke about this one thing. It is the most difficult thing. So I went to the evangelism field and saw. I went to America and saw. It is to a surprising degree.
1. The word Jesus spoke from beginning to end – Go to all nations (237)
So you have already obtained the answer now. You obtained it through the mission conference, and now, the word Jesus spoke from the beginning to Abraham, and also at the end to the disciples, is to go to all nations. Is it possible? He is saying to go to 237 nations.
1) He spoke this to Abraham
Even that, if He were saying it now looking at you, it would be somewhat understandable, but I am telling you He said it to Abraham. He said, “All peoples will be blessed through you.” Is this possible? You truly have to come up with an answer, right?
2) Because they do not know this, Israel, who received the gospel, and we have completely fallen into disaster
Because they did not know this, Israel, Israel that received the gospel, simply put, we who received the gospel, completely fell into disaster. When Jesus spoke this word, they were already in the state of being slaves in Egypt, captives, and a vassal state. But because they could not understand this word, the descendants of Israel were cursed for 2,000 years.
You need to meet Jews and tell them. You do not understand, do you, everyone? What dreamlike story is this? Is this talking about the old days, now? So there is no point in living a life of faith, and no point in attending church. Why? Because they have not found the answer.
3) You must find it, and you must help others find it. It is the last mission.
You must surely find it, and you must help them find it. That is it. That is the last mission. How much will you be blessed? There is no need to weigh that. How great will the things you do be? There is no need to weigh that either. You must do what is truly important.
2. The problem that churches throughout the world do not teach
The actual problems of the whole world have come, haven’t they? They do not teach this.
1) New Age Movement (Genesis 3:1-6)
Everyone, you know the New Age movement that is capturing America, right? America is capturing the world, with that. Do you know what it teaches? It says exactly what Satan said in the Garden of Eden. “If you eat this, you will become like God. Now.” Everyone, America is in big trouble. It will not work without you.
I am telling you, even if one Abraham realizes it, the world lives. Even if just one person realizes it, it is enough. What is it that one would realize? You have to take that with you, don’t you? Almost everyone does not know. In some sense, you do not even need to go, if you know. Isn’t that the spiritual secret? Today Jesus gave that explanation just now. At the end, too, He gave that explanation and left. Truly, saints, what do you think? Even if not in our church or our denomination, aren’t there many who are listening to my message? Especially pastors, there is truly a need to talk about this a bit.
2) Freemasons (Genesis 6:1-4)
Do you know why the Freemasons do not disappear? Do you know why they gather every night and hold the world? They took BTS, who are the most popular right now, and had them graduate from that school, didn’t they? Do you know what they do? What is in Genesis chapter 6. In the time of Noah. What? The Nephilim movement. What are the Nephilim? It is making people come into contact with spirits. This is frightening. In the future, they take children who are wavering, the wavering children over there in America, saying, “I will help you with meditation,” and later they end up making them come into contact with spirits. This kind of thing is happening now, right now. I truly ask the pastors. I am telling you it is happening now.
3) 3 Organizations (Genesis 11:1-8)
That is not the end. These 3 organizations, the 3 Freemason organizations, said it 100 years ago. Do you know what they said? “Christianity is no longer needed. It is useless.” They said that. I am telling you they said that to us. “We will raise up the 2nd Tower of Babel movement,” they said. They said it themselves, directly. On top of that, they appeared on some broadcast and said openly, “Christianity is no longer needed in America.” They said this insulting thing. In the current state, it is not needed, well. Right? Since they do not know. Let alone world evangelization, it is hard for me to even receive answers. We have to confirm whether this is really right. Right? Do answers really come when you pray? How exactly do they come? When they come to the military, this is the last opportunity. We must teach them. You could go to the military just to make a living. Is that all? Then what will you do about this coming curse, disaster, and suffering?
3. At this time Jesus gave the answer in three ways
I will give you the answer first. Jesus gave it. Jesus gave one answer, but He gave three things.
1) He said you are now in darkness. So He said that He came as the light (John 1:1-14)
What answer did He give earlier? He said, “You are now in darkness.” He already said it, earlier. “Are we in darkness?” Jesus had said it. So He said, “Because God gave light, I came as the light.”
2) He said you have become slaves (John 8:34-40)
Then He said another frightening word. You have become slaves. So, everyone, back then a slave was not treated as a person. So they say, “How are we slaves!” in the text. If you are not careful, people who attend church cannot have a conversation. Neither a fleshly conversation nor a spiritual conversation works. They came out like this: “No, our ancestor is Abraham, so how are we slaves?” Then Jesus said this: “Aren’t you failing to do what Abraham did?” He said a frightening word. “Aren’t you failing to do what Abraham said?” It appeared in today’s text. Everyone, it is good to try to read the Bible a lot, but you must find all the answers in the Gospel of John.
3) He said your father is the devil (John 8:44)
And then He said a horrible thing. He gave the answer. “Your father is the devil.” He said that. “You, you all are children of the devil.” He said that. “The devil was originally a murderer and a liar. You belong to that.” It is a tremendous statement. We must truly make them know this. Without my even realizing it, when a big problem comes to me, I go to perform a shamanistic ritual or look for a fortune-teller. Even though no one taught me. An amazing thing. Even though no one taught them, all over the world, they make serpents and serve them. Though no one taught them. Invisibly, my spiritual father is the devil. No, to a traditional church member who attends church perfectly well, saying, “Your father is the devil.” That is what Jesus said. It is a tremendous statement. “You belong there.” There is darkness, then slaves, and now your father the devil, it came out like this. It cannot be. He gave this answer. No, what do you mean we are children of the devil? Even if you stay still, you commit idol worship. Even though no one made you. The shamanistic ritual does not end with just once either. They pay a lot of money and keep doing it. Even though no one made them, in Korea almost everyone performs ancestral rites. They do not even know why they are ruined. Some people go on purpose to receive a spirit. If you receive that, you suffer spiritually for your whole life. That is again passed on to the children too. It is 237. The daughter has run away to America, but it goes to America too. If you know the spiritual secret and know prayer, 237 is possible.
4. Romans 11:5 Paul quoted what God said to the discouraged Elijah, that 7,000 disciples remained
– Even so, there has become a remnant according to the election of grace.
Today Jesus gave the message to the people coming there to hear the Word. Romans chapter 11 verse 5 has these words. Elijah said, “God, I cannot do it anymore. I am old, and I am about to die.” Elijah’s last prayer: “God, please take me away. Everything is ruined and only I am left.” At this time God said this: “Besides you, I have left 7,000 disciples.” Paul quoted this. In Romans. What does it say? “Even so, at this present time there has become a remnant according to the election of grace.” They do not even know the word remnant.
1) He has established you as the remnant who will block the forces of darkness in the military. You must be certain.
God established you as the remnant who will block the forces of darkness in the military. You must be certain. It appears in today’s 2nd service. Do not listen to the words of thieves. Not delivering this is being a thief. They teach by force. Robbers. Jesus said so. It is a tremendous story.
So they looked at Jesus and said that is a heretic, didn’t they? “That guy plays with sinners.” Did He play with sinners? He helped sinners who came to hear the Word. “Making wine and giving it to people to drink.” Is that so? He helped with the biggest problem at the wedding feast. “And covering up for an adulterous woman.” Is that what He did? He forgave a woman who sincerely repented. “And breaking the Sabbath.” Is that so? He saved one who was dying on the Sabbath. Are these Pharisees really people who believe in God?
There are still too many people who use these Pharisee words even now. So they cannot overcome darkness. Remnant. I am saying this because they keep picking fights over the remnant. Pastors and theologians pick fights over “the remnant.”
2) Though you became slaves, captives, and a vassal state, you are the remnant. Do not listen to the words of deceivers.
Look at the Bible in detail. Though you became slaves, captives, and a vassal state, you who have the covenant are the remnant. Do not listen to the words of swindlers.
3) You are the remnant called to save your family line in this age.
As long as you do not listen to the words of deceivers, you are the remnant given to save your family line in this age. In the military, they teach “Gather. Let’s revive. Let’s unite,” but they do not teach the way to survive here. You are the remnant. You must keep this in mind. It is okay even if you are persecuted. You must speak the right words. You must save people who are dying. Everyone, of the accidents swarming in the military, 90% are suicides. Who told them to die, in the military? If they die on their own, what will you do? They died deceived by Satan because they could not resolve spiritual problems. There is no one but you to give the answer. Am I now criticizing the established churches? Am I criticizing the military chaplains? Simply put, when spiritual problems come and they are struggling while oppressed by Satan, it would have been enough to teach that person, but they did not teach them.
Rather, if you read it at today’s 2nd service, it appears. Looking at Jesus, they said, “That man must be demon-possessed.” I am telling you, looking at Jesus. It becomes like that. If you do not know, it becomes like that. That is why they became slaves there, I am saying. You live your whole life and earn, and you serve your whole life as a slave to Satan? Does that make sense? You just need to remember this and go.
▣ Main_ The truth shall make you free (John 8:32). Liberation from three places
Today Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Simply put, put more strongly, “The truth will liberate you.” That is what it means. Liberation from three places.
1. Liberation from Satan
It is the first. No one is telling it, but the moment you know this truth, you will be liberated from Satan.
1) Satan has taken over all cultures with 12 strategies
This Satan took over all cultures with 12 strategies. Invisibly. “Pastor, why do you talk about Satan?” What should I talk about? Should I lie?
2) He used the powerful nations to pour out war and curses.
Satan used the powerful nations to pour out war and curses everywhere.
3) He made the weaker nations fall into shamanism and die.
He went to the weaker nations over there and made them fall into shamanism and die.
4) Especially, Satan used Israel.
Especially, he used Israel, this Satan. Jesus gave the answer. “Isn’t your father the devil?” He said that, Jesus. Simply put, it means “You are a child of the devil.” It is tremendous, right? “No, what are you talking about?” They do not even understand. He uses the church. Talking about very good laws and systems, he removes the gospel. Emphasizing very beautiful good deeds, service, and ethics, he removes the gospel. Talking about very good, great achievements and many works, he blocked the gospel. That was the Jews. You just need to know that it is truly the last ministry. You must think that it will not work without you. This is not arrogance. An important patient came, and I have the medicine. Someone gave me the medicine. If I do not give it, I will be cursed. I have to give it.
Are answers not coming to me? Do not be afraid. I told you about the two times I experienced such things.
This one demon-possessed female student kept following me asking me to save her. It was very hard. I went to her house. I spoke to her mother. “Since when has she been like this?” “Since she started going to church,” she said. “Don’t lie. She went to a mental hospital twice when she was a high school student.” I said that. There I shared the gospel, and the necessary Bible verses, you know. I wrote all of them down and gave them to her. “Now don’t come looking for me. Look at this and do it.” At that time, fortunately, she listened to me. I am telling you, indeed, the work happened.
No, I also experienced it again after coming to Yeongdo. An important deacon called on Wednesday morning. When I said, “What is it?” she said, “Please come to our house.” I went. Her daughter, who had been perfectly fine, went crazy. I am telling you, she did not just go crazy. Completely a different person. She was very elite, well-behaved, and such an intellectual, but she became strange, completely. She grabs my hand and talks, and blabbers things she does not usually say. “Ah, to me, one male ghost and one female ghost came in,” she kept saying. What should I do about this? “Let’s worship.” Even worship did not work. She (made noise), and without my realizing it, there was something in me that did not quite believe, you know. “Why can’t I do this? This? What should I do about this?” Some pastors at least push or something, but I could not even push. “What is this?” Worship was all over, but she got worse. It got more severe. Think about my state of mind. “Ugh… I need to go home quickly.” That thought came. So I said to the deacon, “Deacon, today is Wednesday, so I need to prepare the message, so I will go. Keep praying,” and I came out. It was when I was coming back. “Why am I like this?” I clearly prayed and commanded in the name of Jesus Christ. Right? I did that, clearly. That thought struck me.
We say “Jesus Christ” in words. But we do not actually believe in that power. I clearly prayed in that name. I was waiting for some news and I got a call. “Pastor, she has gotten worse, I think we need to take her to the hospital.” “Please wait just a little. In a little while, if it is not dangerous, go tomorrow.” That night the work happened. With her own mouth, “I can’t live in this house because of this Christ.” Herself. And then the girl’s mind came back completely.
“Wow!” Satan knows. Whether you believe or not. Right? I am telling you, this evil spirit, the demon, knows. It knows, “This person is someone who believes in Jesus.” It knows, “He will never give up.” Then it has to leave. I am telling you, the important thing is that they do not believe. They do not believe in the reality. The work of the Holy Spirit is actually happening and the work of evil spirits is actually happening. If you do not believe in the work of evil spirits that is actually happening, how will you believe in the work of the Holy Spirit? It is all lies. They do not believe in what is real. Believe that and try praying today. It will be connected to 237.
2. Liberation from the curse and disaster that no one can stop
1) He said He would liberate us from the curse that Satan gives
It is the second. He will liberate us from the curse and disaster that no one can give, that is it.
2) John 8:32 You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free
“The truth shall make you free.” Liberation from Satan. There is the curse that Satan gives. He will liberate us from there.
3) John 8:31 If you abide in My word, you will be My disciples
“If you abide in My word, you will be My disciples.” Jesus said. “You shall know the truth; if you know this truth, you will be made free.”
3. Liberation from the background of hell that will be there for eternity
What is the last? He will completely liberate us from the background of hell that will be there for eternity.
1) Hell is the prison of eternity for the devils (Matthew 25:41).
Hell is the prison of eternity where the devils are locked up. Matthew chapter 25 verse 41. The devil does not die. The prison of eternity that locks him up is hell.
2) It is the place where the children of the devil go.
The children of the devil are bound to go together. Because they served the devil, they naturally have to go.
3) What is more important is that they are in hell now.
What is more important, they are in hell now. “Already condemned.” They have a lot of money but do not know how to live. Spiritual problems are not resolved, so they are already in hell. “I studied so diligently, so why did these hidden problems come to me? What should I do about this? I am already in hell. Rather than living like this, it would be better to die.” If only they would not lose face, there would be very many people who would die. On earth, our country is number 1 in suicide. Since it is the Eastern Country of Courtesy, people are somewhat good-natured. So it is number 1 in suicide. America is number 1 in attacks. I am telling you, kids come with guns and shoot people dead.
▣ Conclusion
1. The last opportunity
It is the last opportunity.
1) Pastors, do not follow the path of the Pharisees, but hold on to this covenant.
Pastors, you must not follow the path of the Pharisees, but firmly hold on to this covenant.
2) Church leaders, do not follow the Herodians, but hold on to this covenant.
Our church leaders must not follow the Herodians, but hold on to this covenant.
3) Remnants and military ministers, hold on to the covenant toward the future.
Our Remnants and our military ministers must firmly hold on to the covenant toward the future. Try it. It seems like nothing, right?
2. The answer that comes when you enter into this covenant
1) While worshipping, I entered into the covenant, and one day this Word comes fulfilled.
Now while worshipping, you entered into that prayer, and one day this Word is bound to come fulfilled to you. It is an amazing thing. So, there is no such experience. So there is no point in attending worship. You do not need to attend.
2) If you pray alone for the power of the Triune God, the power of the throne, and the power to save the 3 ages, the Word you held on to that day will surely come one day as an answer.
When you, alone, pray that truly the power of the Triune God, the power of the throne, and the power of the 3 ages come upon me, the Word you held on to that day will surely come to me as an answer.
3) If you make this (3‧9‧3) 24, the door of world evangelization will open. Depression will disappear. Even if you do not try to overcome Satan, Satan cannot come.
If you make this 24, the door of world evangelization will open. Truly. Do not try to cure depression. If you make this 24, it disappears on its own. Right? Do not try to overcome Satan by casting out demons. If this is full in me, it cannot come. It surely is so. Do not miss it.
3. What is 3‧9‧3?
No, Pastor, what is 3.9.3?
1) Acts 1:1, 3, 8
“The former account I made, O Theophilus,” this refers to Christ in Acts chapter 1 verse 1. Right? You must know the word Christ for the Triune God to work invisibly in me. Right? Jesus spoke for 40 days. “The things of the kingdom of God.” What is that? The blessing of the throne. He spoke at the end. “Receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit and become witnesses to the ends of the earth.” What is this? The power of the 3 ages that saves the past, present, and future. I am saying that prayer. He told us to do this.
2) He told us to pray this prayer, and the method is “only.” It cannot be done with anything else.
How? He said “only.” Nothing else works. I am explaining this “only” to you.
3) Try it during today’s worship time. You do not need an experience. Try it by faith. Try this every day. One day it will become 24.
Try it during today’s worship time. You do not even need an experience. Just do it. By faith. Try this every day. Then one day it can become 24. In this sense, our military mission is very important. Leaving parents, leaving home, leaving friends, leaving everything, they come there. The last opportunity.
I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus that answers will begin from the military ministers, and from you who help the military ministry.
Prayer
We thank God. Let it be a day when the darkness working in the military is broken. Let darkness be bound in the conflicts and wars throughout the world and in all evil things. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
