Summary
The church must not teach other things. It must speak the gospel properly.
▣ Introduction_ Making the bartizan of prayer that enjoys the secret of the throne – Me, Work, Church
1. Kingdom, Throne, Work of the kingdom – When Jesus first taught prayer, He spoke about “the kingdom”; after He was resurrected, about “the throne”; and at Mt Olive, about “the work of the kingdom of God.” The work of the kingdom of God is being fulfilled even now.
2. World X (verses 14-15) – Since we do not belong to the world, He prayed that the disciples would not fall into the world.
3. Show the disciples the glory You showed me from the creation of the world (verse 24).
Genesis 1:1-3 Show the power of light, of creation.
Genesis 1:27 Show that we can live with the life of God.
Genesis 2:7 This blessing is what existed at creation.
This is the platform of the bartizan that enjoys the throne, the watchman bartizan that saves others and me, the antenna that communicates spiritually with God.
4. Name Key (John 17:11-12) – The key that opens the bartizan of the throne is Christ.
5. Authority (Status) – Let them know that they have authority and status (verse 26).
1. 237, Healing, Summit (24 system) – Give us the bartizan where 237, healing, and summit become a 24 system.
2. Life – Give us the bartizan where the lives of many people take place here. A church with a bartizan where people cannot help but come, where there is true rest, and where prayer happens.
3. RUTC Center – Churches where such a system is not possible, use the RUTC Center to open the three-day weekend age and save the children.
1,000 bartizans – Let it be a church where 1,000 such bartizans are established.
1. The Triune God will work
2. The blessing of the throne will come, and the Lord’s messengers, armies, and angels will be mobilized
3. Satan will be bound and darkness will be bound. This is the kingdom.
▣ Main
1. Promise – Baton – Jesus who prayed holding the baton of God’s promise
1) RT 7
2) Hebrews 11 figures
3) The 120 held this baton and prayed
2. People who saw the future
1) Verse 13, Joy – Let them be filled with joy.
2) Verse 14, Word – I have given them the Father’s word
3) Verse 21, Bartizan – As You, Father, are in me and I am in You, let them also be one and be in us
▷ We must know the reason only Christ was sent. When we are saved, the Triune God works invisibly, and one is a believer when one knows that when we hold the covenant and pray, the forces of darkness are bound, the blessing of the throne comes, and the heavenly armies are mobilized.
3. Today
1) World X – Let them know that though they live in the world, they do not belong to the world (verse 14).
2) Verse 15 – Let them not fall into the world now.
3) Glory – Let them see my glory which You have given me (verse 24).
▣ Conclusion

2. CVDIP (picture) – It is clearly drawing the actual picture with CVDIP.
3. Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation – Me, studies, and church that know the only, enjoy uniqueness, and challenge re-creation
Transcript
A long time ago, when we were students, we went to the house where President Park Chung-hee lived. It’s in the Gumi area, and if you look in front of it, there’s a church. Until President Park Chung-hee went out into the world, while he lived there, he attended that church. As far as I know, in the case of President Chun Doo-hwan too, I understand his wedding was held at a church. Now, President Roh Tae-woo’s daughter, believes well, that daughter too is a person who believes well. Well, recently in the news I saw that Ms. Kim Keon-hee also attended church until high school.
Why am I telling this story? The church must not teach other things. It looks like you’re doing well, but those people heard a lot of other things. In reality there’s no answer and no reason to attend church. Many pastors, the church leaders in the church now, must remember this. When time passes, you regret it bitterly. These were all smart people, but that President Park Chung-hee who attended church from childhood, someone, the evangelist, didn’t speak the gospel properly, you see. If you speak the gospel properly, it becomes one of the two, either they don’t attend church, or they surely receive answers.
Today’s passage is the last prayer that Jesus prays. We must remember it well.
「Jesus’ Last Prayer」
I said it’s the content of Jesus’ last prayer today. Then we must understand it properly.
▣ Introduction
We must know the reason there is no answer.
1. [ Kingdom ] [ Throne ] [ Work of the kingdom of God ]
When Jesus first taught prayer, He taught this. He talked about “the kingdom of God.” And He said to pray, “Your kingdom come.”
After Jesus was resurrected, He talked about “the throne.”
And lastly at Mt Olive, He explained “the work of the kingdom of God.”
Now, how does it look? This is content that, if a person who is not saved looks at it, cannot be seen. For people who don’t know real prayer, it’s content they have absolutely no interest in. Isn’t that right? So naturally they don’t receive prayer answers. What I mean is, we, well, the kingdom of God, well, the throne, the kingdom, this doesn’t fit us, this. In fact, Jesus only spoke this and left.
2. World X (14-15)
Now, look carefully today. What is He praying now today? “We do not belong to the world.” Well, in the end it’s the same words. Isn’t it the same words as this (Introduction 1)? And He prays for these people of God, “These do not belong to the world.” And now looking today, in verse 15, “Let them not fall into the world.” He’s praying this. God, Jesus, it’s the last prayer. Since they don’t belong to the world, so that the disciples don’t fall into the world, He’s earnestly praying, Jesus.
Now, would this prayer of Jesus be an ordinary prayer? Now. We must look at this part well. As you come to realize this, many answers will come to you. Well, it’s okay even if the answer doesn’t come. I’m certain. Because this (Introduction 1) is surely being fulfilled. The kingdom of God is coming and the work of this kingdom is surely being fulfilled.
Now, then if we are in this (Introduction 2) situation, not people who belong to the world now, and we fulfill the work of the kingdom of God, what must we make?
[ Bartizan of prayer ] – [ Me ] [ Work ] [ Church ]
It’s making a bartizan of prayer that enjoys the tremendous throne. Where? In me. You must make this bartizan. Now, I said it’s not belonging to the world. It’s the bartizan that fulfills the kingdom of God and the throne and the kingdom of God. In fact, a long time ago I didn’t pray, and because I thought prayer didn’t get answered, ever since I knew this (Introduction), I prayed and received answers. And the answers came so precisely too. It will surely be so for you.
Where do I mean? Finally in your work. In your studies. And what? This bartizan must be established in the church, I mean. I mean the bartizan of prayer that Jesus taught is established.
3. [ Genesis 1:1-3, 1:27, 2:7 ]
Now, if you look at today’s passage here, another important thing comes out. What comes out is, in verse 24, “Show the glory given from the creation of the world, given to me.” He’s saying something tremendous. “Show the glory You gave me, showed me from the creation of the world to these disciples, to the people of God,” Jesus is praying, now.
When is before the creation of the world? In Genesis 1:1, 3, “Show this power of light, of creation, this.” In Genesis 1:27, “Can’t our life live with the life of God? Show this.” Look at Genesis 2:7, I said He talked about this blessing being what was in Genesis.
[ Platform, Watchman bartizan, Antenna ]
What is this (Introduction 3)? This is the platform of the bartizan that enjoys the throne. This is completely now the watchman bartizan that saves others and saves me too. This is the antenna that communicates spiritually with God. Unmistakable answers take place.
4. Name Key (John 17:11-12)
How is this recorded? In verse 26 it came out like this, “Let them know the Father’s name, let them know that the love is in them.” The name is the key. It came out in today’s chapter 17 passage. Jesus Christ said, “He gave the name of God to Himself.” The name that guards this bartizan and opens the door of the throne is Christ, Jesus Christ, the name of the Lord, that’s what I mean.
5. Authority (Status)
In verse 26, “Let them know the Father’s name and let them know that the love is in them.” Because you have this status, let them know that they have authority.
This is Jesus’ last prayer today. We must pay attention, right? Now, from after this, His being arrested comes out. Now, how much Jesus is speaking this earnest prayer.
Let you, with these amazing 5 things, this secret, establish the bartizan in me and my work and church. I hope you firmly hold this covenant. Don’t pray other prayers for the temple construction, let it be a church where this (Introduction) bartizan, 1,000 bartizans stand. God will give many evidences.
[ 1. 237, Healing, Summit (24) System ]
As you pray now, since it’s the temple construction dedication service, the content is this (Introduction), and you must pray. What prayer do I mean? Establish the bartizan. “Give us the system where 237, healing, summit become 24.” Here, Immanuel Seoul over there, Ulsan over there, our Changwon church, pray. Here, “Give us the system where these people come now and do 24, this kind of bartizan.” This is an important prayer.
[ Life ]
Now completely, “Give us the bartizan where the lives of many people take place here.” I think even unbelievers can come to our church to rest, that there should be. Why? A church where people’s lives are. A church with this saving bartizan. People, I mean, a church where the people around here can even park. In ordinary times. Isn’t that right? A church where they can even come to use the restroom. The church must become a church where people can come like this.
Places like Immanuel Seoul Church have a really good surrounding environment. You must make it a church people cannot help but come to. ‘Wow, here is truly rest.’ Churches like this. ‘Wow, coming here, prayer happens.’ A church like this. You must establish that kind of bartizan.
[ RUTC Center ]
So especially, we started praying continuously from this week now, and churches where such a church system is not possible, use the RUTC Center. Here, especially, how good is it for places like the capital area? Here, open the three-day weekend age in earnest. God will answer. Save the children. Also, when time passes, don’t make children who attended church and quit, but make children who properly enjoy this (Introduction) blessing.
At least, you must know what the kingdom of God and the throne are within this secret of the Triune God. Today, the moment you hold this covenant and believe, God will surely work in you and your work and studies and church.
You’ll be a bit surprised. I have nothing to testify. Why? Because God accomplishes it. Isn’t that right? What is there to testify? In fact, there are shameful things, but nothing to boast about. Just that I came to worship with you is a thankful thing. Right? Just that I became a member of our church is a thankful thing. Why? It’s tremendous that God put us in this (Introduction) enormous blessing.
You may, perhaps, there will be people like, ‘Ah, I’m so powerless like this and things don’t go well.’ I also had such times, but looking back, it wasn’t that things didn’t go well, it was truly needed time. In the old days I had no meaning, you know, ‘What, why must I live?’ I felt like that, I tell you. ‘What on earth, how must I do to live well?’ I worried about making a living. Looking at it all now, that is the necessary timetable of preparation. I, who didn’t know prayer, back then thought prayer wasn’t answered. Now I enjoy prayer answers precisely.
[ 1,000 bartizans ]
Establish 1,000 bartizans at Immanuel Busan. This is the beginning of our temple construction. Make this (Introduction) work be fulfilled. What will surely happen?
[ 1. Triune God ]
The power of the Triune God will work invisibly. This is now the kingdom.
[ 2. Throne, Messengers, Armies, Angels ]
The blessing of the throne will surely come. Then the messengers of the Lord and the armies of heaven and the angels of the Lord will run errands.
[ 3. Satan bound ]
Then at this time, Satan will surely be bound and darkness will be bound. This is the kingdom.
Enjoy this answer and build the temple that can do this 237, healing, summit. The moment you hold the covenant, it will be confirmed later. You will see this (Triune God, throne, messengers, armies, angels, Satan bound) answer. David confessed. “Praise the Lord, you His angels, mighty ones who do His word.” That’s right.
Many theologians and pastors, if this is not believable to you, I’m a little sorry, but you may not know spiritual things and may not have been saved. Check it. Why do I talk about Satan? It’s in the Bible the most. Perhaps don’t tremble too much because Pastor Kim Ki-dong talked about this. That person is not the standard. He passed away a few days ago. There’s no need not to talk about the most important thing in the Bible because of that person.
So I once gave a message. I said, “Because of Berea over there repeatedly speaking wrongly, the Korean church, in order to block that, ended up doing this kind of thing of blocking something enormous.” So they contacted me from that side. They asked, “What did we do wrong? Can we have a debate?” Well, “Okay.” But well, it didn’t happen, but this much these important things are going back and forth, now.
Now, look at the Bible in detail. Theologians, I’m not talking to you, theologian pastors, look at the Bible in detail. If you take this (Triune God, throne, messengers, armies, angels, Satan bound) out, what are you going to believe? Curing a cold? You don’t need to believe in Jesus for that. What do I mean? To build? You don’t need to believe in Jesus for that. Now a tremendous story, in the Bible now, it’s seeing this (Triune God, throne, messengers, armies, angels, Satan bound) that we call a bartizan. When you hold this (Introduction) covenant, 237, healing, summit unfold. Right?
Then the question is what will happen to your work now. What will God do? Unimaginable things happen. Look at the elder of the church I was at before, who did so much church work. That elder, this person knew nothing but church work, nothing but saving the church. I saw such a person for the first time. Only saving the church, like this, he doesn’t talk much. This person just, simply does the work of saving the church. God poured out economy. With that he keeps doing church work. Sending missions and doing like this.
It’s just before parting with me. Because I had to come here, just before, he was alive, but just before, what happened? Even just before I came here, you know ‘Myeongji,’ that former green onion field, it’s the elder’s. A big one. The people of that town thought it was land that couldn’t be used because they had no money, and gave it to the elder for only a little money. Well, it’s tremendous now, isn’t it? Because of one important person who has the gospel, God just drives the economy of light.
Well, I feel it every time I come to Yeongdo. Always, our Pastor Jeong Eun-ju says, “In that countryside, you know, it’s a miracle,” and like this always treats our church as countryside, but it’s not, here is now tremendous. The fastest way to the airport in Busan is Yeongdo. Roads are open this way and that. You can go up that way to Haeundae, wherever, to Gijang, all of it, now. Also a tunnel is being dug in front. Then this, in Busan, well, becomes amazing. Probably it will be because of Immanuel Church. This is not my story. It’s what the district mayor who had stepped down before said. I heard he passed away, there was a District Mayor Park something, you know, it’s what he said. “Perhaps because Immanuel Church is in Yeongdo, Yeongdo receives blessing,” he said, an unbeliever. It was probably said as a joke, but I see it as very meaningful.
If you are truly witnesses who must do this gospel movement, God will fulfill these (Introduction) five things. And this (the chart next to the Introduction) work will surely happen. You must think again. This (Triune God, throne, messengers, armies, angels, Satan bound). The Triune God and the throne and the heavenly armies, all of Satan, hell, the powers of darkness collapsing, what will you do other than this? If you don’t know this, you can’t establish the bartizan. Isn’t that right? If you don’t know the enemy spiritually, why establish a bartizan? Right? If you don’t know the secret of saving spiritually, how do you establish it? If you don’t know what the great background that happens spiritually is, how do you establish this (bartizan of prayer), that’s what I mean.
So no matter how hard they try and strive, how much churches don’t go well and evangelism doesn’t go well, because they fight every day and such. I do ministry and go back and forth, don’t I? Looking at our elders, there was never fighting like faction fights, in our church. Not even once. Well, if opinions are a bit like that, they discuss with each other, pray, talk, things like this, but I’ve never seen them fight over such things. Now, the Korean church fights like that whenever they’re bored. They can’t help but fight. Well, because they don’t know the answer. This (Introduction) makes tremendous things happen, this.
Why am I talking this long? It’s Jesus’ last prayer.
▣ Main
Here a few important things for establishing the bartizan come out.
1. Promise – Baton
He prayed holding God’s promise. Jesus. This promise surely has this baton, right? Flowing down all along. He prays holding that.
1) RT 7
The 7 Remnants held this covenant.
2) Hebrews 11
The people of Hebrews 11 held this covenant.
3) 120
The 120 apostles and disciples who held Jesus’ message held this covenant, that’s what I mean.
2. Future
Here today is the prayer of people who saw the future tremendously. Now, what does Jesus say?
1) 13 Joy
In verse 13, “I am going to the Father. Let my joy be full in them.” Now, He prayed this prayer. Jesus, to you. “I am now going to the Father, so let these disciples and saints truly be filled with this joy.”
2) 14 Word
And what does it say in verse 14? “I deliver the Father’s word to them, so let them not belong to the world.” Now, they deliver God’s word to them like this.
3) 21 Bartizan
And He spoke an important word in verse 21. “Let them believe that the Father is in me, and they are also in us.” Now, it’s a tremendous message now. This is the answer of the bartizan of prayer of the throne. Once again in verse 21, “The Father in me. They, they also in us.” What on earth does this mean? This is a very important bartizan. “Let them believe this.” I hope you believe.
It’s a word that worldly churches have no interest in at all, but it’s the most important word. Why did I talk about the presidents first? Because they all attended church, I’m telling you. You must not make such churches. They should have heard this (Introduction) covenant from childhood. You must know why only Christ was sent, for what reason He was sent. If we are saved, what happens? The Triune God works invisibly, right? You must know that. We should have known the fact that when we hold this covenant and pray, the forces of darkness are bound. Then the blessing of the throne comes and the heavenly armies are mobilized, I mean. Knowing this is a believer. How is it? In this Gospel of John there are many very important things, and Jesus is now wrapping up an important message, He’s praying.
3. Today
And with that He talked about today. Why? Because today is the future. He looked at today with that future, but today is the future. It’s the same but different.
1) World X
It comes out in verse 14. “Let them know the word and know that they do not belong to the world. Let them know that though they live in the world now, they do not belong to it.”
2) 15
So it came out in verse 15, right? “Because they live in the world, let them not fall into the world now.”
3) Glory
Especially in verse 22, “Give them the glory You gave me.” Jesus prayed for us to the end and left.
This (Main) is Jesus’ prayer. This (Introduction) is the answer you will receive, the content of why we must build the temple. You will receive the answer of a lifetime. After David prepared this, what happened? The work happened all the way to Solomon.
▣ Conclusion
It’s the conclusion.
1. Faith (in advance)
To what degree must our faith be? All people who received prayer answers held it in advance. This is our faith. Why? To receive prayer answers, faith that holds what is certain.
2. CVDIP (picture)
The word CVDIP means you must actually have the picture clearly drawn. From now on. It’s faith that believes what will surely come. And holding CVDIP, this picture, firmly. All Remnants must do this.
3. Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation
And what? You must find three things. Anytime you just find these. Only, uniqueness, re-creation. My studies, job, church that know the only. My studies, job, church that enjoy uniqueness, you must enjoy. Finally, a church that challenges re-creation. That’s up to here.
Because it’s so important, you must hold this (Introduction) covenant for the answer to come. The answer is bound to come. Before the answer comes, what you see is, you see this first, in advance (Conclusion 1). Then you can draw the CVDIP picture clearly.
In the dark days, when I came into Yeongdo here, I went around thinking of a training ground here. I drew that picture. Thankfully, our saints understood my prayer and prayed a lot. As I see it, well, they probably didn’t really understand, but still. How would they have thought that I go around looking for these mountains? I understand. How would they have thought that our disciples of the world would come here now and receive training? I said I understand. In the future 237 nations will move. It will be hard to understand. God does it.
However, us randomly, saying “Let’s evangelize to revive the church,” that’s not evangelism. We’re not saying to do that. “Let’s do tremendous missions to show off our church.” We’re not saying to do such bad things. That’s a bad thing. The dying souls, fallen into darkness, we must prevent things like a second, third Halloween day from happening now. You must realize this.
So if you pray to build this kind of temple, God gives you the blessing of the throne first. It’s certain. He will mobilize the invisible heavenly armies. He will collapse the forces of darkness that people absolutely cannot understand.
Now youth all over the world are covered with darkness. We must pray. It’s not an ordinary problem. Still, the adults somewhat know a little, but the current generation hardly knows. Our Remnants are receiving training here, but the youth now, what is the church? They absolutely don’t know. What will you do? They don’t know the spiritual world. Those kids don’t even know what drugs are. They just fall into it. Because people just need to make money, they sell it somehow. They sell it to students too. I haven’t been, but from what I hear, well, places like bars are full of drugs, they say. They say you can get it as much as you want. It has come to this situation.
I mean it’s this kind of situation all over the world. It kills all the future generations. That Halloween day, it’s chaos all over the world. Well, even if you go to the Philippines, if you look at the day when they make ghosts and such, it’s chaos. It’s really strange. Even though no one taught them, if you go around the whole world, places of idol worship always have a snake made, a snake. It’s peculiar, right? So if you check history and such for why they made it, there’s nothing. They just made it. It’s exactly running errands for the devil. Even though nobody told them to. It’s not something taught at school, someone made it. Now this demonic culture is spreading all over the world. It’s not the politicians’ responsibility. Because they don’t know. We must pray. How would they know? What will businesspeople do? They just need to make money. Something happens. How would they know? The spiritual problem, they don’t know.
This place will become the temple that fulfills what God desires most. Let us pray.
Prayer
God, let us stand as witnesses who receive answers just as they are in the Bible. Let us stand as witnesses who block darkness. Let us stand as witnesses who fulfill the kingdom of God, the most important thing in the Bible, and its work. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
