Transcript
▣ Introduction
This is our final session of the World Military Mission Conference.
※ Just worshiping well, you succeed. You win just with worship that changes thoughts into prayer.
What does it mean that just worshiping well, you succeed? You were elsewhere for six days and have now come to worship. You moved around for six days and are sitting here now today. If you’re not careful, many stray thoughts come in. The thoughts I had come rushing in. Also, what I was worrying about pops up. While worshiping, ‘What will I do tomorrow?’ pops up like this. It’s the same as not worshiping. At this time today, you win just with this worship that completely changes your thoughts into prayer.
1. Ask a question about military mission just once. If you do this 24, 25, eternity, you change the world.
You must ask a question about military mission just once today. Asking just once is enough.
When my child was born and going to school, late in life I got a call from the military to come. I went, and it was a unit that made us train a lot. The hardship was okay, but I couldn’t find who I was. It became a situation where I didn’t want to do it and it was hard. I asked a question just once. ‘Isn’t there God’s plan in my coming to this unit? There must surely be a hidden disciple in here.’ It was a question I asked during a 10-minute break during training. But God opens the door through some incident in there. The commander received Jesus Christ as Savior through me. Also, some incident happened, and they gathered the whole military and I came to lecture every week.
Today you must think about military mission once. I only thought about evangelism once, but God changed my life. It’s true. In my case it was like that. If you do this 24, 25, eternity, you change the world. Even just for today, you must ask sincerely.
2. Military mission message
This time, up to today, five messages were given to military mission. We must all know and pray.
1) Open the age of military mission for all church members.
The very first thing Satan attacks most is the military. If Satan enters the leaders in politics, war breaks out. So nothing is as important as military mission.
So open the age of military mission for all church members. That was the first message.
2) The age of Remnant military mission – Train the Remnant who will become soldiers in advance.
People like David are needed. Train the Remnant who will become soldiers in advance. The second message of the age of Remnant military mission was given.
3) Find people like Cornelius among active-duty soldiers and make them a secret society.
Find people like Cornelius and make active-duty soldiers completely into a secret society. His name was never revealed at all afterward. But the Bible saw him as very important, that person. It’s a secret society. You are a secret society. Then you must have a secret, right?
4) For multi-ethnic, find military disciples first.
This is the fourth message given. If multi-ethnic people are to truly do missions, find military disciples first. Military mission is this important.
5) Break through the iron curtain.
Today’s title I set as 「The Military Mission Journey from Cornelius to Rome」. But the big theme of the fifth message isn’t that. Break through the iron curtain. To break through the iron curtain, there is nothing but military mission. Rome is the iron curtain. It’s called the iron curtain. In Korean, it’s completely an impregnable fortress.
3. Remnant who broke through the impregnable fortress
There are Remnant who broke through this impregnable fortress.
1) Joseph who broke through Egypt with Genesis 3:15
The one who broke through Egypt with Genesis 3:15, received from the time of the ancestors, is Joseph.
2) Moses who brought down that fortress with Exodus 3:18, which overcomes darkness, disasters, and Satan
Moses, who had Exodus 3:18 that overcomes darkness, disasters, and Satan, brought down that fortress. Just holding the covenant is enough. We don’t have the ability to do it. We just need to hold the covenant.
3) Samuel who brought down the Philistines with the burnt offering
It collapsed through Samuel, who offered the burnt offering sacrifice that completely brought down the Philistines.
4) They held only the Immanuel message of Isaiah 7:14, and Babylon collapsed. Hold the covenant firmly.
God gave a message in advance to bring down the walls of Babylon. Holding that message, friends like Daniel went in. They were only holding the message, but it collapsed. “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and his name will be Immanuel.” What army will defeat Immanuel? What king will defeat God, I ask you. The people who went with only this covenant overturned this iron curtain in Babylon. You must hold it firmly. Right? You must not hold it half-heartedly, God’s real covenant must be held firmly.
To what extent? I’m weak? It doesn’t matter. I don’t have anything? It doesn’t matter. I may die? It doesn’t matter. You must hold it to that extent. Even if I go into the fire and the Lord doesn’t rescue me, it’s okay. That’s how you must hold the covenant. Even if I can’t come out of the lions’ den, it’s okay. Even if I go before the king now and die, it’s okay. The covenant is certain. These people brought down the iron walls.
▣ Main_ Journey – To whom does He entrust Cornelius and Rome?
But in this process from Cornelius to Rome, very difficult things happened a lot. What difficult things were there? This is a journey now, so the title is journey, you must know the journey. There are three things you must know.
1. True disciples who come out amid false accusation
First. God put false accusations on them in order to establish true disciples. They weren’t heretics, they shared the gospel, but they were falsely accused of being heretics. True disciples come out here. He entrusted Cornelius to these people. He entrusted Rome to these people. You must not be ignorant of this. People don’t know when things are good. When people are living well, “Let’s go on a picnic, let’s go play.” They don’t know then. They know when this and that happens and comes crashing in. At this time it’s completely the age of dictatorship, isn’t it? Once it’s set by law, it’s over. Who allowed this? It wasn’t the emperor who allowed it. Who? God. Right? You must catch on to this. Only true disciples come out amid this. Calculating people won’t do. People who put a measuring stick on their future won’t do, I’m telling you.
1) The people who came down from Mt Olive and devoted themselves solely to prayer – multi-ethnic people from 15 nations gathered here.
At this time, the people who came down from Mt Olive “devoted themselves solely to prayer.” Multi-ethnic people from fifteen nations gathered here. Right?
2) God raised up the lame man in the name of Christ.
God, as if to show off, raised up the lame man the whole world knew in the name of Christ.
3) They went to Samaria and caused works to happen.
They went to Samaria, where one must absolutely not go, and caused works to happen. You must remember. To whom does God attach Cornelius, and whom does He make go all the way to Rome, that’s the point.
2. True disciples who have nothing to do with persecution
Second. These are those who survived amid persecution. Rather than the word ‘survived,’ true disciples have nothing to do with persecution.
1) Stephen who shared the accurate gospel and died
Finally they carried out the execution. That place was a place for carrying out executions. Whose, I ask? The place on the day Stephen died. When executing a person, they ask one last thing, I’m telling you. “Is what has happened until now true? Make your statement.” That’s how it went. At that time, if Stephen had twisted his words just a little, he wouldn’t have had to die. There’s something you’re all good at, right? Twisting words. If you just twist it a little, you live. Stephen said, “You who have persecuted those who share the gospel and the prophets from long ago until now crucified Christ. Because He is the Christ, He rose and now stands as King of kings and Lord of lords. I am a witness to that.” The Jews didn’t realize it, but “gnashed their teeth.” It says that. “Really gnashed their teeth.” Have you ever seen someone gnash their teeth? I saw it in the dorm when I was a student a long time ago, a guy who gnashed his teeth came, and it’s a good thing he really changed, I couldn’t live with that. They all gnashed their teeth together to kill Stephen. At that time it says the gate of heaven opened. He showed Stephen Christ standing at the right hand of God.
2) The Antioch Church that came about because of this
Because of this the Antioch Church came about. Right?
3) He broke Paul and sent him here, sent out world missions, and made them evangelize Rome.
At this time whom did God send? He broke Paul. He sent out world missions. These people evangelized Rome. I’m now talking about the journey.
3. Those who survived amid tribulation – Those who have the gospel are not shaken.
Third. You must keep this in mind. A great tribulation happened. It’s not just persecution. Tribulation happened. At this time they are people who survived without anything wrong. People who have the gospel are not shaken amid false accusation, threats to life, persecution, and tribulation. Looking until now, in our long time of doing the evangelism movement, the one least shaken is military mission. Almost everyone is complaining about money, but over there they don’t even complain about money. Looking into it, they don’t even have money. Yet they’re not even discouraged. Amazing. God is doing it. That’s not something they’re good at. It’s natural. Right? Disciples are originally like that. Disciples standing on people’s side and calculating, that’s not a disciple. God allowed this journey, I’m telling you. Right? I mean, they bind it with law so you can’t do it. So for me, China now is a good timetable. If China’s door is opened, fakes rise up and there’s chaos. I went before Russia’s door opened. Fakes came in and there was chaos. Because persecution arose and they killed people. Real disciples don’t care. They went all the way to Rome.
1) Cornelius the soldier – hidden card, secret society
At this time, the person who appeared like a secret was Cornelius, that’s the point. In a way, not an ordinary public official. He was Cornelius the soldier. This is completely the hidden card, the secret society. It doesn’t even show.
2) The reason we must pray for military mission – Because Satan moves rulers, authorities, evil spirits, and lawless ones, He told us to arm ourselves (Ephesians 6:12).
Our military mission team takes these five things, and you must pray.
There may be some who came today not knowing it’s the military mission service. Right? Even if they find out, there may be people who say, ‘What does military mission have to do with me?’ You must pray. No one knows what will happen with North Korea there. They don’t even have the strength to invade us. But no one knows what will happen. Haven’t you studied history? I’m telling you no one knows what will happen. You must pray. Really. From today on, you must pray for the nation. You must pray for military mission. Why? What does Ephesians 6:12 say? This Satan grabs and shakes rulers. Right? This Satan moves authorities. He moves the evil spirits in the heavens. And he moves lawless people. So it explained to arm ourselves.
3) The power of the 3 camps (the secret of going all the way to Rome amid tribulation) – Holy Spirit’s guidance, Holy Spirit’s work, Holy Spirit’s fruit
At this time, amid tribulation, how did they go all the way to Rome? They went with the power of the 3 camps. Right? You must do it like that. They completely received the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Completely with the work of the Holy Spirit that breaks the Nephilim. Fake disciples are of no use. With the 3 camps that establish true disciples. To where? All the way to Rome. Your lives must be like that. This isn’t simply only a military mission message, but it’s a message for you who must pray for military mission and for our faith life. It’s a message the Remnant must take with them.
※ Do not be shaken by public opinion. Do not fear persecution and tribulation.
It doesn’t mean be someone who can’t read the room. Don’t be shaken by public opinion. To the Remnant. It doesn’t mean ‘Just live without knowing anything.’ Don’t be afraid of persecution and tribulation. Today I met with our ordained deacons, and since they’re important people, I told them that. The places these people work are difficult fields. Don’t worry. They’re now groaning. Right? They’re struggling desperately. So I’m telling you they’re having a hard time and struggling desperately. Are you afraid of those who attack us? They’re struggling desperately. Satan is struggling desperately, what’s there to fear? You must understand. You must have pity on them. You must not worry at all.
▣ Conclusion
This time, firmly take the 5 military mission messages. You must put this down and now properly pray for the nation.
1. Hold onto the evidence.
First, hold onto the evidence. What?
1) Mark’s upper room ~ conquest of Rome
From Mark’s upper room they conquered all the way to Rome. It happened, didn’t it, the evidence.
2) Synagogue ~ Rome
It started in the synagogue but went all the way to Rome.
3) Cornelius ~ Rome
It went from Cornelius all the way to the royal palace of Rome. You must hold onto the certain evidence.
2. The age of storms is an opportunity. Since we must go to save, do not fear false accusation, persecution, and tribulation.
But how should we hold onto it? Don’t be shaken in the age of storms. That’s more of an opportunity. People don’t listen to God’s word. They even listen to a demon-possessed person’s words but don’t listen to God’s word. While praying, Paul said they would meet a storm, but they didn’t listen. Then they met the storm. When they met the storm, they were about to die. At that time they must have done everything with all their strength. Disaster is not something resolved by effort. They threw away all the equipment they had. Why? Because they had to lighten the ship. Disaster isn’t resolved by scientific methods. That storm had to be stopped by God. At that time Paul stood up and spoke. “Do not be afraid. Last night the angel of the Lord spoke to me. He said, Paul, do not be afraid, you must stand before Caesar.” After delivering that word, since they believed that person, the storm calmed down.
We must go to save the age that has met storms. But if you fear some small false accusation, tribulation, or persecution, you can’t even go at all.
3. Three things to do
In the remaining time today, try doing three things.
1) I must receive answers so that what I do becomes an evangelism movement. Agonize over that (2 Corinthians 7:10).
In 2 Corinthians 7:10 there’s this word. “Worldly sorrow leads to death. Godly sorrow leads to eternal life.” Have sorrow. Godly sorrow.
A certain female deacon was very old and couldn’t even walk well. It was back when we were doing that, and this person heard a sermon about having to evangelize. This grandmother had no money and couldn’t go anywhere. What was this grandmother’s main task? Babysitting her grandchild. But if you ask the question, the answer comes. ‘Ah, I, this old me, I’m too old, what evangelism can I do?’ She had these thoughts. She was playing with her grandchild, and where does the grandchild go to play? He goes to the children’s playground and plays. There are many friends there. The female deacon had rice and barley, right? She popped these into snacks. That doesn’t cost much money. She took that and gave it to the kids. The kids found it so delicious and liked it. With the kids, the door of the gospel began to open. Not only that, the door began to open to their parents.
Agonize today. I mean, what I do must be used for the evangelism movement, right? Before saying that, I must receive answers so that it becomes an evangelism movement, mustn’t I? Right? You must agonize over that. What I do is useless, I just eat and go, we’re not animals or something.
2) The answer to make during worship – Mt Calvary (It is finished), Mt Olive (mission), Mark’s upper room (Only)
And while having sorrow, you must come to an answer. What is that? First, the answer you come to every Lord’s Day is basically Mt Calvary, Mt Olive, and Mark’s upper room. At Mt Calvary He said it is finished. Then what did He give at Mt Olive? The mission. How do you hold the mission? He explained about the kingdom of God for 40 days. And when they came down to Mark’s upper room, they came down holding the Only. That’s the answer you receive when you worship today.
3) Engraved in my soul (textbook), in my life (handbook), in my future (notebook)
And what? While praying all day today, this word is engraved in my soul. In English that’s called a textbook. This comes out in my life. Now it comes out while working. Prayer comes out even while in military life. That’s called a handbook. This now begins to be made in my future. That’s called a notebook. Those words are important words. Like this, you spend today, the Lord’s Day.
Long ago, when I was an associate pastor, I led the early morning prayer. After leading the early morning prayer, I come down and pray, right? A certain elder was writing something down. I couldn’t ask, and I thought, ‘What’s he writing like that,’ and that too until the day became bright. He didn’t pray and kept writing. So I went over quietly and looked. What was he writing? He was writing down the topics he had to fight about and argue about on the Lord’s Day today. It’s absurd, right? Record the word all day. See what happens. Don’t worry about anything. If you’re going to worry, worry about not being able to do this. Right? You must not worry about the Philistines invading. You should worry about not having ability. You should worry about not being able to evangelize. They’re worrying about other things. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be the best day for you.
Prayer
We thank God. We thank You for giving us the grace of salvation. There are many nations that have never heard the gospel even once. There are also many armies that have fallen into darkness with no gospel at all. It has become a world that struggles to make a living. Let us share the gospel of light. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
