Sunday 2nd Service, Lay Missionary Dedication Worship
Title / Scripture: The True Evangelism and Mission of the Last Days (Mark 9:14-29)
Speaker: Pastor Kwang-Soo Ryu
Date / Location: July 17, 2022, Immanuel Church
Mark 9:14-29 (NIV)
When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
16 “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.
17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”
19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”
26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.”
Summary
Jesus ascended and the time until He comes again is called the last days. In this time, true evangelism and mission must be carried out.
Lifetime Turning Point / Knowing the Answer
▷ If you find what answer you must receive for your lifetime and then edit, design, and plan around it, you are bound to win. If you keep editing steadily, many answers come out. In this hour, for true evangelism and mission, you are one who already knows which field you must go to — that is what it means to know the answer. What is the reason for praying? Only when what answer I must receive for my whole life is settled will I come to know this week’s, and today’s, answer.
▣ Introduction — What Jesus kept teaching throughout His three years of public ministry
12 Apostles, 70 Disciples
World / Satan’s Kingdom / God’s Kingdom
Mission Object / Healing Object
1. Apostles — dividing the entire world into 12 great parishes
2. Church leaders — 70 disciples, 70 nations, 70 works
▷ The people of the world are fighting over territory, culture, and economy. All of these people are objects of mission. At this time Satan has set traps, frameworks, and snares centered on the “self,” which cannot help but be tempted. So all these people are also objects of healing. The apostles and church leaders of the early church knew this, so after Mark’s upper room they were never shaken. The 12 apostles divided the world into 12 great parishes. That is why the Lord spoke of “every tribe,” “all peoples,” and “the ends of the earth.” He taught the church leaders that they would become 70 disciples, 70 nations, 70 works. After Mt Calvary, Mt Olive, and Mark’s upper room, the apostles and the 70 had the answer in hand.
Field (Hidden Disease) — The field is dying, infected with a hidden disease. Those who know this are the ones who evangelize and do mission.
Save the Closing Churches — the first, second, and third temples that God did away with (churches lacking the three courtyards), the medieval church that He caused to decline (man-centered), the closing churches of Europe and America (flesh-centered), churches centered on culture and tradition without the gospel — at this time three groups (centered on the Nephilim) and a substitute religion that says God is not even needed are arising.
Field (The Answer) — If you find the answer that is in the field, you can revive it without limit.
▷ This is an age in which even concern itself has collapsed. Coming to church and fighting, and doing nothing but talking about others 24 hours a day, is what the devil does. They spend 24 hours doing things that have nothing to do with God. This is because they do not know the church and the spiritual world.
▣ Main
1. The Crowd (Wandering) [Nobody] — The wandering crowds kept flocking wherever Jesus went. Because the church gives no answer when they go there, they have no choice but to wander. There is no interest in this at all here.
Nobody — there are many people who assert their own opinions, speak the world’s words, speak according to the flesh, and talk about others, but there is no one who will actually save.
1) Verses 14-16 — Wherever Jesus went, the crowds gathered and flocked to Him, begging to be saved.
2) Incurable Disease — Because it was left untreated for too long, it became an incurable disease.
3) Spiritual Problem — Because they are seized by a spiritual problem, there is nowhere else to go.
2. Demon Possession — No religion can heal this.
Nothing — there is nothing. Evangelism and mission are going to Nobody, Nothing.
It is going to those who are Nobody, and it is going to the field, to Nobody and Nothing. It is not difficult. Because it is not by our own strength, it is very simple. All we need to do is speak of the mystery of Christ. Even without much explanation, if we keep other concerns from taking root deep in the other person’s heart and make them focus only on Christ, then a work happens. With new family members caught in spiritual problems, you must not let this word and that word go in. When God’s word enters with concentration, a work occurs.
1) Medicine
Look carefully at Scripture. What does it say in verses 17 and 18 today? “They brought a boy possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech.” That is what was said. In verse 18, “Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and grows rigid.” He was so difficult that they brought him to the disciples, and the disciples could not heal him. That is why they made this request. In other words, it had reached a stage where no medicine could be applied.
2) Mark 3:13-15
Jesus said from the very beginning, “I called you to be with me, and also to send you out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.” He plainly said this.
3) Mark 16:15-20
This was said at the very end, in Mark 16:15-20. “They will drive out demons in my name.” This was also said at the end. If the doctors in our church were to know these spiritual matters (Main 2) and carry out a healing ministry of world scale, our church would become a worldwide church. It should be that ordinary people do it, but doctors should do it too. Then they will not go astray medically and will not create unnecessary risks. There is a disease spreading rapidly across the world that no one can touch.
3. Prayer [OURS] — This is the third and more important point. “This kind cannot come out except by prayer.” This tells us what prayer is. The prayer of one who is saved, who is in Christ, is different. It is the prayer of one who discovers the “only” — discovering it wherever they go. One who waits for uniqueness. One who knows and challenges toward re-creation. This has become mine — the system has been fixed in place — this is the prayer of one who carries the gospel. If you do this, you will certainly win.
1) Verse 23, the father — This is His answer to the question the father asked. “What do you mean, ‘if you can’? Nothing is impossible for the one who believes.”
2) Verse 29, the disciples — This is His answer to the disciples’ question. “This kind cannot come out except by prayer.”
3) Not I, but Christ as Lord — There is no “I” who must perish; prayer is Christ becoming my Lord.
The Power of Christ — Prayer is enjoying and delivering the power of Christ.
Not Satan, but Christ Imprinted — What matters even more is that the power of prayer is pulling out what belongs to Satan and having what belongs to Christ imprinted instead. This is what you do not know, He is saying (verse 19).
▷ Spiritual problems simply disappear. Doors to 70 nations and 70 fields will burst open for the elders, because they have been changed. It is only natural that through the church leaders, works will happen in the 70 works. That is how world evangelization takes place. Whoever the doctor was, Remnant Joseph, and the disciples in Babylon — works happened in 237 nations. It lies in a very simple place. If you find the answer to “why is God the only one causing me to do this?” it becomes easy to see. Then the answer of uniqueness, the answer of the Kingdom of God, is bound to come. Just wait. This is the true weapon that you who do mission possess.
▣ Conclusion — 237 Nations, Healing, When Holding a Summit
1. What Is Changed
▷ It changes when the 237 multi-ethnic peoples come and are able to speak what is inside them.
2. Field (Healing)
▷ They must be able to go back to their own nations and heal their own nations.
3. Minister (Calling)
▷ These multi-ethnic peoples must have the calling planted in them to go and raise up ministers.
▷ The answer you will receive is 70 nations, 70 disciples, 70 nations, 70 works. You must align yourselves toward this as much as possible. The pastor’s preaching must be fitted to the whole world through the 12 great parishes. You must have the eyes to see, “How would God look upon these (the Main)?” The whole world is set up this way (the Introduction). May you discover this blessing this week and may this be an important week in which you find the answer for your lifetime, in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Transcript
Jesus came and began His ministry, and the period until He comes again is called the last days. To be precise, we call the time from His ascension until His second coming the last days. In this time, we must do true evangelism and mission, right?
[Lifetime Turning Point]
In the first service today, it was “Find the turning point of your life.” It was the Mount of Transfiguration. You must find it, don’t worry. If you find “what kind of answer I must receive for my life” and edit, design, and plan around it, you are guaranteed to win. Most people do not study. Studying doesn’t mean school studies. You must keep editing this steadily. Then many answers come out.
[Knowing the Answer]
Now, today, which field must we go to for true mission and evangelism? You are already “one who knows the answer.” Because our church leaders are important people, you must all begin this way. Remnants especially must acquire expertise. Why do I pray? It is important to settle what answer I must receive for my life. Only then will you know this week’s answer, today’s answer.
▣ Introduction
Now, there is something Jesus essentially kept teaching throughout His three years of public ministry. What did He teach?
[12 Apostles, 70 Disciples]
He kept speaking to the twelve apostles and the 70. Tremendous answers are contained here.
[The World, Satan’s Kingdom, God’s Kingdom]
The world, Satan’s kingdom, God’s kingdom. Whether you know it or not, they exist this way. What the people of the world are doing right now is just fighting over territory, fighting over economy, and continuing to fight over culture.
[The World — Object of Mission]
All these people are objects of our mission. Because they do not know, God has even sent them out as slaves — that is what happened. The whole world, all of you, is entirely an object of mission. If you cannot see this, you cannot see the answer. Some people live in America without even knowing why they are living there. America is the greatest object of mission. If you just live there as is, it’s a disaster. Once you know this, you know, “Ah, why am I here in Japan.” This is a tremendous object of mission. It’s only because you are in such difficulty that you have no room to see it — if you step outside that a little, you can see it. You see how dangerous this country now is. At this time Satan has set a trap, a framework, and a snare centered exactly on the “self,” which cannot help but be tempted. Nearly all believers are also tempted by this (Satan’s kingdom). Because it is “me.” If I feel bad, everything feels bad. If something benefits me, I do it. This is what he tempted with from the very beginning — the explanation, “You will become like God.” And so it continues toward destruction.
[Satan’s Kingdom — Object of Healing]
All these people are also objects of healing. The early church, the apostles and church leaders, knew this. So once they knew this, they were never shaken again. Have you ever seen Peter shaken after Mark’s upper room? Never. Why? Because he knew this (the world, Satan’s kingdom, God’s kingdom).
[God’s Kingdom — 1. The 12 Great Parishes]
And so, what did the twelve very important apostles mean? You need to look at this carefully. What was explained during those 40 days was that the whole world was divided into 12 great parishes. The Lord’s servants must have their eyes opened to this, right? He divided the world into 12 great parishes using the 12 apostles. That is why He kept saying “every tribe,” “all peoples,” “the ends of the earth.”
[God’s Kingdom — 2. 70 Disciples, 70 Nations, 70 Works]
He gave the church leaders three blessings. 70 disciples. 70 nations. And the 70 works by which to overcome this. It is not “you must do it.” He taught what becomes so. Most people who do not know God teach “you must do it.” Those who know God know what becomes so. After Mt Calvary, Mt Olive, and Mark’s upper room, the apostles and the 70 had this answer firmly in hand.
[The Field (Hidden Disease)]
Look at today’s passage. When Jesus arrived, He saw a crowd gathered, and going to see what the commotion was, they had brought a demon-possessed child. They had brought him, and here is what they say: “Whenever our child is caught by the demon, he collapses anywhere, falling backward.” As he falls, he grinds his teeth, his face turns a strange color, and he cries out to be saved. He might fall anywhere, at any time. This is the child they brought. Why was there such commotion? Because they asked the disciples to heal him and the disciples could not. Then this is exactly what the child’s father said: “Even if the disciples could not, if you can, please save our child.” That’s what he said. And this is what Jesus then said: “What do you mean, ‘if you can’? Nothing is impossible for those who believe.” That is what Jesus said. The child was healed.
And once he was healed, the disciples quietly asked, “Ha! Why couldn’t we do it? How did that happen?” That is what they asked. And Jesus answered like this: “This kind cannot come out except by prayer.” That’s what He said. He revealed what prayer is. “This kind cannot come out except by prayer.” All these famous words came out on this field (the lifetime turning point, knowing the answer). The field is dying. Those who know this are the ones who evangelize and do mission. What is even more frightening? What’s even more frightening is this: even after giving this answer, the field is now completely infected with a hidden disease that cannot even be recognized — right before such problems appear.
Tomorrow, and this whole week too, if you hold onto this answer firmly, when you go to your own field, you will see what matters. Last Sunday evening, I had a meal with our elders and the standing committee members from Seoul. While we ate and talked, I could feel how much these people love the church. I could feel how much they love only the gospel, how deeply they love the gospel — I could feel it. And I could feel how much I want to help the Lord’s servants and evangelists so they can evangelize. Elder Shin Myung-jin from our Busan church lives in Seoul now, and he became the elder in charge of administration at the Imseo church there. The first thing he said to me was this: “Oh my, I was so shocked when I came to Immanuel Seoul Church.” I said, “Why?” and he said, “I had never seen people so devoted before.” He said this jokingly, saying, “How could those people be so devoted when they aren’t even paid a salary?” That’s how it went. As I was talking and coming back, I suddenly grasped this message.
[Save the Closing Churches]
“Save the closing churches of the whole world.” We still have so many answers left for us. The field is dying like this, but the churches are closing their doors. You know this, right? You know why the first, second, and third temples disappeared, right? God removed the first, second, and third temples. You know this well, right? A church lacking the three courtyards is unnecessary. The medieval church — why did God let it decline? Because it was man-centered. He closed it all down. Now, why are the churches of America and Europe closing? Because they are flesh-centered. Flesh-centered, not spiritual. They close. If we know this, we can save them quickly. We must revive the closing churches. As a result, in some churches everything about the gospel has disappeared and it has become culture-centered. Barely anything remains. But there is no power at all. And in other churches they cling to some kind of tradition. No gospel, no answer at all.
At this time three groups have completely taken over, centered on the Nephilim. Now one group has arisen that attacks these three groups. What is it? “Religion is not needed, God is not needed either. Religion must be changed.” A substitute religion — it has now appeared. Alternative medicine is also emerging. It has begun to appear in America now. The whole earth is in an uproar. Churches have no choice but to close.
[The Field, The Answer]
Right now our Immanuel family is not enough to save the whole world, but if we find the answers that are in the field — in the churches closing all over the world — they can rise again without limit. You must have your eyes opened to this. We know this. We said we would come again next week, but look at that elder in Germany. In Germany there are cheap, good buildings that could be used as cultural facilities, but nobody looks for them. You have to search. It’s astonishing — once they search, it’s all there. And in Europe, once a church building is built, you cannot change it. Since the church building was built, it has to keep being used that way. So it becomes a bar there, or a restaurant there. Because the church has no people. It changes like this. This is not just saying it for nothing — if you find the answer in that field, you can save it without limit. It is an age where even interest itself has completely collapsed. There is nothing being done. Coming to church and fighting and talking about others. This is a big problem, isn’t it? This is what the devil does. Coming to church and fighting, only talking about others, doing nothing but that 24 hours a day. Whether right or wrong aside, they just keep doing that. In our church, we have to save that. They have completely closed the doors. There’s no particular reason. Continuing to do things that have nothing to do with God, 24 hours a day, is what causes ruin. But still, in our church there are the elder deaconesses and elders who pray in secret. What is called “church” — they don’t know this because they don’t know the church. They don’t know the spiritual world that is coming, that’s why.
▣ Main
You must remember three things.
1. The Crowd (Wandering) [Nobody]
Today, the wandering crowds keep flocking wherever Jesus goes. That is exactly what is happening now. Even though it’s nothing, because no answer is given, when you go to church, no answer is given. There’s only human voices. So there is no choice but to wander around. Simply put, you only know the word — some of you grandmothers may find this difficult, but in English it’s “nobody.” There’s no one. There’s no one who will save. There are many people who talk smartly. But there’s no one who saves. Those who know a lot and assert their own opinions are packed full. Only those who save are missing. They know all the world’s words, others’ words, the flesh’s words, all sorts of words. But the one thing missing is someone who saves. Those who know this receive the answer, everyone. Right? Receiving an answer is not difficult. This crowd is wandering, and there is no interest here at all.
1) Mark 9:14-16
So today, looking at verses 14 and 16, the crowd gathered and came, begging to be saved wherever Jesus went.
2) Incurable Disease
It was completely left untreated for too long and turned into an incurable disease. Ordinary sicknesses can be treated by going to a doctor, but this one had gone on far too long. It had become an incurable disease. In today’s text, he falls down anywhere, collapses, screams strange sounds — what can be done about this?
3) Spiritual Problem
And so with a patient like this, the whole family is caught up in this spiritual problem, and there is nowhere left to go.
2. Demon Possession [Nothing]
This is the second point. No religion can heal this. Why? It is clearly written in today’s Scripture. It is demon possession, and the demon drags him around like this. In simple terms, this is a disease (demon possession), but to put it simply for you experts, in English, it is completely Nothing. There is nothing.
What is evangelism? It is going here (to Nobody, Nothing). What is mission? It is going here (the field, to Nobody, Nothing). It is not difficult. Because it is not by our own strength, it is very simple. You just need to speak of the mystery of Christ. Even without much explanation, if you keep other concerns from taking hold in the other person’s heart and instead make them focus only on Christ, a work happens. For new family members caught up in spiritual problems, you must not let various other words go in there. When God’s word goes in with concentration, a work happens.
1) Medicine
Look at Scripture carefully. What does it say in verses 17 and 18 today? “They brought a boy possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech.” That is what was said. In verse 18: “Whenever the spirit seizes him, it throws him down, he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and grows faint.” He was so difficult that they brought him to the disciples, but the disciples could not heal him. That is why they made this request. In other words, it had reached a stage where no medicine could handle it.
2) Mark 3:13-15
Jesus said from the very beginning, “I called you to be with me, and also to send you out to preach, and to give you authority to drive out demons.” He plainly said this.
3) Mark 16:15-20
In Mark 16:15-20, He said this at the very end. “They will drive out demons in my name.” He said this at the very end too. If the doctors in our church were to know these matters (Main 2) and carry out a worldwide healing ministry, our church would become a worldwide church. Right? Ordinary people should do it too, but doctors especially should do it. Then they will not deviate medically. Diseases that no one can even touch are now rapidly spreading across the world.
For example, in Seoul, Elder Kim Shin-tae is originally a respiratory physician. When he explains how important it is to heal the body through breathing this way, and how important it is to pray, people come to believe it. Why? Because a doctor with medical qualifications is the one speaking about medicine and about prayer. So it has a tremendous influence.
3. Prayer [OURS]
The more important one is the third point. “This kind cannot come out except by prayer.” This tells us what prayer is. Your prayer, the prayer of one who is saved and in Christ, is different. One who discovers the “only” — this person discovers it wherever they go. One who waits for uniqueness. One who knows and challenges toward re-creation. This has already become mine — the system is fixed — this is the prayer of the one who carries the gospel. If you do this, you will win without fail.
Today, missionaries Park Bong-woo and Yoo Young-hee’s family in England are all from our church, and their children are studying a very important field in Europe. If these young people equip themselves with academics and open their spiritual eyes and begin to work, Europe will be turned upside down at once. Conversely, a New Age member like Bill Gates has developed a tremendous function and inserted New Age thought into it, so that the whole world falls completely into the New Age. This is the terrifying result that comes out. This is prayer.
1) Mark 9:23, the father
As said in verse 23: “What do you mean, ‘if you can’?” This was His answer to the question the father asked. “Nothing is impossible for one who believes.”
2) Mark 9:29, the disciples
Verse 29 is His answer when the disciples asked. “This kind cannot come out except by prayer.”
3) Not I, but Christ as Lord
So He said something very important. What is the prayer you must know? There is no “I” who must be destroyed; prayer is Christ becoming my Lord.
The Power of Christ
So there is nothing at all to worry about — prayer is enjoying and delivering the power of Christ.
Not Satan, but Christ Imprinted
What is even more important — the power of prayer is pulling out what belongs to Satan and having what belongs to Christ imprinted instead. This is what you do not know, He is saying. Here He even said this: “How long shall I be with you?” He even said that, right?
Even now, if you begin to enjoy this power and pray, a work is certain to happen. How does it happen? My illness may be healed, but it may also simply disappear. Why? Because I have been changed. Before, spiritual problems used to come and go, but now they simply disappear. Why? Because I have been changed. Doors to 70 fields, 70 nations, are just bursting open for our elders. Because they have been changed. This (the Introduction) is not something you “must do.” Through the church leaders, it is only natural that works happen in the 70 works. That is how world evangelization happens.
For Dr.누가 (Luke), it was not just 70 regions that happened — it happened completely in 237 regions. Right? Remnant Joseph and the disciples in Babylon were not just 70 regions either. Works happened in all 237 nations completely. It lies in a very simple place. You must always search it out. What is the sole reason God is having me do this? If you find it, it becomes easy. Then the answer of uniqueness, the answer of the Kingdom of God, is bound to come. Just wait. This is the true weapon that you who do mission carry — the weapon of the Remnants, the weapon of our Immanuel Church. You must do exactly this.
▣ Conclusion
Let me draw a conclusion.
1. What Is Changed
When you hold the 237 Nations Healing Summit and meet those people, do not say any other words at all, do not even say this either, and just do the work of changing them. Do not even say, “You must change.” Just change them through prayer in your heart. Did they come from North Korea? Right now, they are not normal. They must be changed. Do not speak of it. Because you know that if a person who came from North Korea talks about it, it won’t even work, so you don’t. What kind of country is North Korea? How are they living right now? They came from there. What they are carrying is enormous. Wounds, trauma — an enormous amount. You do not speak of it. Even if you were to try, would you understand? You must change them. Change them into Christ. You must remember this. Right now many of our people are doing ministry among the multi-ethnic peoples. Because you are not yet close enough with them, they do not say what is inside. There is so much still to be changed. Simply put, what does it mean to be “a church equipped with the 237-multi-ethnic system”? It means they must be able to come and speak of what is inside them. That is how they are changed. Otherwise, they are sent back the same as they came. You must remember this. This (changing them) is the true evangelism, the true mission. But if you add on top of that the words of the world — this word, that word, any and every word — you send them back completely destroyed. And when they come to Korea, there are so many good things, right? So they see it all, they enjoy it all. Then when they go back to their mission field, they cannot do mission. The person is completely ruined. This is what churches are doing right now. They completely ruin them. You must change the deep problem inside the person. To do that, you must understand them. If you don’t understand that, how can you change them? If you judge everything one by one by the law, you cannot change them.
When Jesus forgave the woman caught in adultery, did He say, “You did well”? Did He forgive her that way? No. Why did the people bring stones? Because they hated her and wanted to kill her. They meant to kill that wrongdoing woman. That was correct, but it wasn’t. Being correct isn’t always right. Those people were already trying to kill the woman, out of hatred. When Jesus saw the adulterous woman, did He say, “Fine, just go home”? No. Did He say, “It’s okay”? No. Jesus knew that woman’s true inner heart. “Do not sin like this again. No one can throw a stone at you. Go home. You are forgiven.” Which of these is right? He completely changed what was inside that person.
2. The Field (Healing)
These people will eventually go back to the field of their own nations. Someday. They must be able to go and heal their own nations. You must do this for them. If they have not been changed, how can they heal? If we do it wrong, we only do surface-level work. So what do we call this? These people must truly meet you all, come to our church, and feel so comfortable that they come to your own home and think, “I really need to talk about what is inside me, this problem.” That’s how it must become. Right? But that doesn’t mean you drag them somewhere and say, “Tell me your problem.” It has to come out naturally, doesn’t it?
As these people listen to sermons or listen to you speak, they come to think, “Ah, I could say this to this person too” — that’s when they speak their own concerns. If you keep speaking like an animal, speaking according to the flesh, they will think, “Ah, I’d better not say this to this person” — and they won’t. They’ll just keep talking about other people. “It would be useless to tell this person about my spiritual problem” — they won’t do it.
3. Minister (Calling)
In the end, how far must we raise these people? We must get these multi-ethnic peoples to go and raise up ministers themselves. Not simply healing them, but planting the calling in them. This is your mission. And the blessing you will receive is enormous. It’s certain.
The answer you will receive is 70 nations, 70 disciples, 70 fields. That is the 70 works — that is the answer you will receive. You must fit yourselves to this as much as possible. It is not so much effort as it is fitting yourselves — to this (the Introduction). If the pastor’s preaching does not fit the whole world through the 12 great parishes, then I must be changed — I cannot change the Word. That’s right. If my preaching does not match healing the whole world, I must change my preaching — I cannot change the Word just because it doesn’t fit with me. It is a great mistake for many people to say, “This preaching matches me.” It must match God. How would God look upon these people? You must have that perspective. The whole world is set up this way (the Introduction). May you discover this blessing this week without fail, and may this be an important week for finding the answer for your lifetime, in the name of the Lord Jesus. Let us pray.
Prayer
Thank You, God. Let us see with our spiritual eyes what belongs to You. Let us not suffer hardship ourselves, but let us be filled with what is Yours. For the multi-ethnic peoples who have only one chance in their lifetime, let them be changed into what belongs to Christ. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
