Speaker: Pastor Ryu Kwang-su
Date/Location: December 26, 2021 / Immanuel Seoul Church
Matthew 1:20-23.
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).

Summary
▷ The greatest blessing for the Remnant and the saints is Immanuel. To be able to say “God was with me” in one’s studies is the greatest blessing. And when God is with you in your work, unbelievers come to realize it. The Remnant must prepare in advance before graduating. When you go out into the world, do not envy the world too much. Do not fear the world too much either. There is also no need to look down on the world. When you meet someone who is struggling, give them strength; when you meet someone great, do not avoid them or flatter them — if they know God’s blessing, bless them by saying they are a person of tremendous blessing. For Christians to curse people of the world is what the devil does. David never told King Saul that he was wrong. He showed it through evidence. The Remnant carries this. The promise Jesus made most often was the blessing of Immanuel.
▣ Introduction_ The Remnant succeeds as long as they are not deceived.
1. Fraudulent answers — Because people have almost entirely fraudulent answers, we must help them.
1) Powerful nations, weak nations — Powerful nations, having been deceived by Satan, oppress many people and take weak nations captive. If one fails to realize this, a believing person ends up running errands for powerful nations.
2) Being deceived by Genesis chapters 3, 6, and 11 — There is no need to be afraid or shaken.
3) The Nephilim (culture) — Do not be astonished when you see Nephilim culture.
2. 7 nations (plagues) — The Remnant have blocked all the great plagues of the 7 nations.
3. Satan’s 12 errands — The world is running Satan’s 12 errands. We must have compassion.
▣ Main_ 5 things for the Remnant to remember about the Immanuel blessing
1. The beginning of Immanuel
1) Problem — The beginning of Immanuel has almost always arisen at the time of a problem. That is, a problem is a beginning. Joseph is the one who found the answer in a family problem, and David is the one who found the answer in a social problem.
2) Process — The entire process is the answer.
3) Result — It is to become a witness.
With — God is with me.
Immanuel — It is to testify that He was with us.
Oneness — It is being a witness to having the answer in which God fulfills His will in all things.
2. The Remnant’s prayer
1) Pray that the Triune God would come upon me.
2) Pray that the 9 blessings of the throne would appear in my life.
3) Pray that the answer of the 3 eras of world conquest would appear in my field.
Spiritual summit — The spiritual summit comes first.
Functional summit — What comes to the Remnant from within the spiritual summit is the functional summit.
Cultural summit — That answer is inevitably put to use, and that is called the cultural summit.
The word summit means rising to the top, and the Remnant only needs to be able to rise spiritually to the top. No one can stop the Remnant from reaching the top through prayer.
3. The Remnant’s standard
1) 237 — Studies and occupations that align with 237 will be chosen.
2) Healing — Healing 237, and
3) Summit — Making the next generation into summits is the standard.
It is absolutely necessary to make the non-face-to-face into face-to-face in order to heal 237 nations and create summits. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, who turned the non-face-to-face into face-to-face, took over the entire economy.
4. The Remnant’s experience
1) Future camp — It is to help discover the “only.”
2) Prayer camp — The prayer camp is where uniqueness is discovered.
3) Talent camp — The talent camp is called re-creation.
5. The Remnant’s preparation to save the world
1) Coming-of-age ceremony (platform) — The key of the coming-of-age ceremony is to develop complete expertise and build a platform.
2) Mission ceremony (bartizan) — Specializing one’s talent is the mission ceremony, and looking at this and seeing the world is called the bartizan.
3) Sending-out ceremony (antenna) — Making it field-applicable is the sending-out ceremony, and looking at this, it is called the spiritual antenna through which God, myself, and the world communicate.
▣ Conclusion
▷ If the Remnant goes out into the world not knowing this, the world will look tremendous and they will fall into the illusion that they are nothing.
1. Be conscious of prayer. — If you are not conscious of prayer, you will unknowingly start thinking, and that will bring limitations and problems, leading to misjudgment and overreacting.
2. Be conscious of breathing. — Your mind will improve tremendously from the very start. Be conscious of prayer as you breathe, and conversely, be conscious of breathing as you pray.
3. Breath prayer and Word meditation — As you worship, take one word that strikes you and meditate on it within prayer throughout the entire week. Do this for three months and your mental illness will be healed.
▷ For the Remnant, graduation is the beginning. In chess, the pawn (卒) can mean an end, but it also means a beginning. The Remnant must become the beginning of saving the world right here. Pastors and elders must join hands together and start the future camp, prayer camp, and talent camp.
Transcript
The greatest blessing for our Remnant and our saints is Immanuel. When you can say “God was with me” in your studies, that is the greatest blessing. And in fact, when you can say “God was with me” in your work, unbelievers come to realize it.
The Remnant are now graduating and going out, and they must prepare in advance. When you go out into the world, do not envy the world too much. The world is difficult right now, and it is deceiving, so you must not envy it. And there is no need to fear the world too much either. There is also no need to look down on the world too much.
So you all need to prepare well like this before going out. When you go out, you will encounter strange people. You must not call them strange. You must give them strength by saying they can do it. After that, you can help them with the parts that are wrong. When you encounter someone who seems lacking in some way, you must not tell them they are lacking. You need to tell them that they can receive and convey God’s blessing. You may also meet people who are far more remarkable than you. Even then, do not avoid them or flatter them. If they know God’s blessing, you must bless them by saying that they are a person of tremendous blessing.
Our Christians go out into the world and curse people of the world a lot. That is what the devil does. That is why they get criticized. There are so many people who excessively criticize or speak ill of people of the world. That is seeing things wrongly. Also, when those people of the world do a little well, they envy them too much. That is seeing things wrongly. Also, when they meet someone who is acting very wickedly, not realizing the person is raging in desperation, they become very afraid. That is seeing things wrongly.
The Remnant absolutely must, because no one will teach them when they go out, sort this out first. Without fail, when you go out, you will meet people who appear to be utterly hopeless. That is not because they are hopeless. You are seeing things wrongly. Because they are people who are almost entirely mistaken, they will say all kinds of wrong things. You must not tell them they are wrong. Because you already know what is right. Isn’t that so? David never told King Saul that he was wrong. He showed it through evidence.
Immanuel
The Remnant has the greatest blessing, and this (Immanuel) is what they carry with them. Isn’t that right? Even Jesus, among the most numerous promises in the Bible, gave the blessing of “Immanuel” — that He would be with us.
▣ Introduction
If you, Remnant, are just not deceived, success is easy.
1. Fraudulent answers
Because people have almost entirely fraudulent answers, you need to help them. Shall I put it simply?
1) Powerful nations, weak nations
Powerful nations are not truly powerful — they are being deceived by Satan and oppressing many people. So you need to go quickly, break the darkness, and tell them the gospel.
(Weak nations)
Almost all of these nations capture weak nations and take them as captives, don’t they. If you fail to realize this, a believing person ends up running errands there. That makes no sense.
2) Genesis 3, 6, 11
Because people are almost entirely being deceived by Genesis chapters 3, 6, and 11, there is no need for you to look at that and become afraid or shaken.
3) Nephilim (culture)
These people are shocked by the movements, works, and culture related to the Nephilim. Isn’t it true that the Nephilim will produce tremendous culture? Would it not seem tremendous when a shaman performs a ritual? You must not be astonished by that. It is the same thing. If you just are not deceived, answers are easy. The Remnant must absolutely remember this.
2. 7 nations (plagues)
Because the Remnant have blocked the plagues of seven great nations. It is easy. These people are pitiful — why should they be feared? They are not objects of fear. They are not objects for you to criticize. The very fact that you criticize them shows you do not know the gospel. Why would you criticize them? Of course these people are in this condition (fraudulent answers), aren’t they. Because of that, people say, “Christians are strange.” They hear, “That person believes in Jesus, but they’re really strange.” When you meet people like this (Introduction 1), give them strength; when you meet people like this (Introduction 1), give them the answer by serving — that is how it is done. The Remnant must absolutely remember this.
When I used to do a lot of evangelism at school back in the day, the biggest obstacle was — who do you think it was? — the Christians in the school. Back then I wasn’t in a position to be politically marked, so I went around freely sharing the gospel, but the Christians kept doing strange things and it blocked evangelism. You know those things — those endlessly low-level things — you must not do those.
The Remnant must keep this in mind. Do not fear the world. Do not envy the world. Do not look down on the world. Behind it all is Satan. You must not look down on it. You must always remember this.
3. Satan’s errands (12)
The world is running Satan’s 12 errands, isn’t it. You must have compassion. So people who do not even know the gospel — they criticize and speak ill of others constantly… that is what devils do. Absolutely, wherever you go in the field, do not do that. If someone is being criticized, go to that person and comfort them. If you are definitely going to stir something up, stir things up in secret while helping others. And then the time to share the gospel will come.
▣ Main
Now, because time is short, let me quickly write down the 5 things the Remnant must remember about the Immanuel blessing.
1. The beginning of Immanuel
This is the beginning of Immanuel. How did the beginning of Immanuel come about?
1) Problem
It arose almost entirely at the time of problems. Isn’t that right? It arose at the time of problems. Joseph is the one who found the answer in the midst of a family problem. David is the one who found the answer within social problems. A problem is a beginning, and the entire process is the answer.
2) Past — Answer
This (problem) is the beginning.
3) Result — Witness
And without fail, the result is to become a witness. What kind of witness? You must absolutely remember this.
[WITH]
It is to testify that God was with me.
[Immanuel]
It is to testify that God was with us.
[Oneness]
It is to be a witness that God had the answer to fulfilling His will in all things. Joseph said, “It was not my brothers who sold me — God sent me ahead.”
2. RT’s prayer
This is the second point. Teachers need to know this and the Remnant needs to know this too. This is the Remnant’s prayer. If you know this prayer, it is actually over. Start from now.
1) Triune God (within me)
Pray that the Triune God would come upon me within.
2) Throne (my life)
Pray that the 9 blessings of the throne would appear in my life.
3) Era (my field)
Pray that the answer of the 3 eras of world conquest would appear in my field. This is prayer. Then you will without fail become like this.
[Spiritual summit]
The spiritual summit comes first. What I am talking about right now is not my own words. You must absolutely not miss this. You all genuinely need to receive the answer.
[Functional summit]
What comes out for the Remnant, for your children, from within this spiritual summit is called the functional summit. Then that answer will be put to use.
[Cultural summit]
And so it is called the cultural summit. The word summit means rising to the top. For the Remnant to be able to rise spiritually to the top, age does not matter. No matter how young the Remnant may be, no one anywhere can stop the Remnant from rising to the top through prayer.
3. RT’s standard
This is the third point. The Remnant’s standard.
1) 237
Studies and occupations that align with 237 will be chosen for you.
2) Healing
Healing 237, and
3) Summit
Making the next generation into summits is the standard.
[Non-face-to-face, face-to-face]
So you must remember the third answer. Making the non-face-to-face into face-to-face in order to heal and make summits of 237 nations is absolutely necessary. Now, what you all are studying going forward — it does not matter. If this (non-face-to-face, face-to-face) is not the answer, the Remnant cannot survive right now. God will give it to you.
This non-face-to-face into face-to-face was already created by Bill Gates’s New Age team and Freemason Steve Jobs. So they seized control of the economy. Those people donate tens of trillions and don’t even blink. They keep giving. Because they have so much. But Christians struggle and agonize over building a single sanctuary, while these people just donate tens of trillions without a second thought.
Do you know what it is? They conquered the world through turning non-face-to-face into face-to-face. We are only at the level where COVID comes and we say “let’s go non-face-to-face.” And even then, people talk about COVID as if the government gave it to us, or as if some individual created it for us — where does that kind of thing come from? In every era, within each plague, there has been God’s plan. The Remnant’s standard. If you know the prayer (RT’s prayer), this follows immediately.
4. RT’s important experience
This is the fourth point. The Remnant’s important experience. Adults must do this alongside them. You must listen carefully and put it into practice.
1) Future camp (only)
Call all the Remnant starting from Saturday and hold a future camp. Isn’t that right? The greatest answer in the future camp is to help them discover the “only.”
2) Prayer camp (uniqueness)
Call them here and teach them prayer. The prayer camp is where uniqueness is discovered.
3) Talent camp (re-creation)
And after that, hold the talent camp. Looking at this is called re-creation. Our church needs to do this. Because we must be different. Isn’t that right? So we need to make it so that globally elite people, their parents, unbelievers, bring their children and come to our church. When word spreads, that will happen. Do not teach the children other things. In the future camp, you need to make them discover “what has God given you.” The children must be able to survive wherever they go. Teach them the prayer camp — you need to teach them what this prayer is. And the answer that comes after that is the true talent. That is when the talent camp is held. This is re-creation.
5. RT’s preparation to save the world
This is the fifth and final point. The Remnant’s preparation to save the world. You need to be preparing for this right now before going out into the world. You are completely equipped with expertise to be able to do this.
1) Coming-of-age ceremony (platform)
That is what is called the coming-of-age ceremony. From that, a platform is built. This is the key of the coming-of-age ceremony.
2) Mission ceremony (bartizan)
You need to specialize that talent. It is the mission ceremony. Looking at this and seeing the world is called the bartizan. Regardless of whether the answer comes or not, the preparation to save the world must be in place, mustn’t it. Constantly teaching useless, other things — getting the children confused — and the children end up going in circles and losing their minds.
3) Sending-out ceremony (antenna)
The children are ready to go out into the world. They have been made field-ready. That is the sending-out ceremony. Looking at this, it is called the antenna through which God, myself, and the world communicate. The spiritual antenna!
These five things must be firmly prepared before going out into the world. This is what I am saying — “let us do this in our church.” What is there to be afraid of that keeps us from doing it? There is no need to do other things, things that are of no use. Before the children go out, the most necessary things — wherever they are placed, they must be able to survive — these are the things that must be taught. Of course, since the adults are not there yet, they cannot teach it; adults, when they speak, say a lot of nonsense. So you cannot teach the children.
Everyone, a person who clearly receives the answer is different. Isn’t that right? You know, don’t you? I am telling you they are different. So even though we have many pastors, you can already tell who among them receives the answer. That is how you know. “Ah, that one seems like they might have a hard time.” If you yourself are struggling, you cannot make others comfortable. That makes no sense. Stripping away everything that is most important — covering children with worldly things and sending them out half-dead — that is how it looks to me. When Christians go out, the children are almost like they are disabled.
Now our Remnant is rising and things are changing a little. Almost all Christians go out into the world without any real strength. You really must hear this. Our church needs to do these five things. God will be pleased and bring everything to us. The Bible says so. Five Remnant — God gave everything to the person who raised them like this. God said, “There is no need to even ask. I know everything.” He said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
▣ Conclusion
Let me conclude. If the Remnant has fully tasted this (Main) before going out into the world, that is it — and even knowing it a little, you will overcome when you go out. If you go out into the world not knowing this (Main) at all, you will begin to become confused.
What is the first thing that confuses you? “Wow, now that I’ve gone out into the world, it is tremendous!” — that is how it looks. Isn’t that right? “Wow, there are so many amazing people!” — that is how it feels. “Wow, unbelievers! Hey, I am nothing!” — that is how it starts to feel. The illusion has begun.
On top of that, people who think they are great start criticizing Christianity. And you feel ashamed as you listen. They say nonsense like “Do not confine everything within Christ.” They say famous-sounding things like that. In that way, they are driving you toward Satan.
What you are able to do is to be a witness who has received the answer and has it appear — that is all you can do. It cannot be done any other way. Would Potiphar agree to be guided by Joseph? That makes no sense. But if Joseph receives the answer, Potiphar has to follow. That is what I am saying. A witness!
1. Prayer consciousness
So from now on, the Remnant must be conscious of prayer. What this means is that if you are not conscious of prayer, you will unknowingly start thinking. Isn’t that right? This brings limitations to you, brings problems to you, causes you to make wrong judgments, and causes you to overreact. Always maintain the consciousness of connecting to prayer. The Remnant must understand this.
2. Breath consciousness
You are breathing right now. Isn’t that right? Because if you don’t breathe, you die. But that breathing is at a level that is insufficient enough to cause much cancer in your body. Be conscious of your breathing. Then the Remnant’s mind will improve tremendously from the very start. So be conscious of prayer as you breathe. Conversely, be conscious of breathing as you pray. It is a very difficult thing to say, but it is the answer.
My sermons are widely rumored to be mostly incomprehensible. That will be so. It is fine even if you cannot understand. Only those who understand need to understand. Are there any breathing specialists here? You must take note. The Remnant need to do this (prayer consciousness, breath consciousness) almost 24 hours a day.
3. Breath prayer, Word meditation
Combining the two, this is breath prayer and Word meditation. For Word meditation — listen to the core message carefully, and when you hear the Sunday worship service once like this, one word will strike you. Meditate on that word within prayer throughout the entire week.
What will happen? If you do these three (Conclusion: points 1, 2, 3) for just three months, your mental illness will be healed. If you do not, it will absolutely never be healed. Your brain has already been damaged from shallow breathing. You cannot study well. And if you force yourself to study, you will lose your mind. Isn’t that right? And because you think a lot without praying, your head is about to explode. You do not pray. You think a lot.
Change it. (Prayer consciousness, breath consciousness.) And along with that, Word meditation. Then when you hear a sermon, it will connect right away. And then a surprising answer will come to you. One day the way I was being tormented spiritually is gone. The mind was going in circles — being told you are going in circles when you keep getting hit with a rag — is that not going in circles? But now this is seen correctly, like this.
You must absolutely remember. This is truly something the Remnant need to make their own for a long, long time. This is absolutely not my own words. The most important core things in the Bible. They leave out just the core and do every kind of nonsensical thing. That is what kills.
Jesus said it, didn’t He. “If you are about to drown a child in the water, if you just let them fall in they could come out on their own — why would you tie a stone around their neck and send them down?” He said that. That was said to the Pharisees. If you just push children into the water, they could come out on their own. But they bound them so they couldn’t come out and attached a stone so they would sink and die — that is what He was saying.
For the Remnant, it is not graduation — it is a beginning. In English it is “Commence.” “Start,” “graduation,” “start” — they are the same word. Even in chess, the pawn (卒) can mean an end, but it also becomes a beginning. To the Remnant, right here, we must truly, truly become the beginning of saving the world. Pastors, join hands together with the elders and begin. The future camp, the prayer camp, and this talent camp. Let us pray.
Prayer. God, we give thanks to You, the God who has blessed our Remnant. We truly need Your healing, God. We need Your power, God. Please use the Remnant, God. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
