The Courtyard of Prayer

Prayer Journal: October 21, 2025
25. Jan. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Genesis 12:1-3

There were three courtyards in the sanctuary. Simply put, He gave revelation so that there would be three courtyards. The Jews forgot that. It is not that they merely forgot; when Jesus went, they were doing other things in the three courtyards. So Jesus took up a whip and struck them all. They had eliminated the courtyard of prayer. There they were changing coins and doing business. This is how they did it. It sounds reasonable. When asked, “Why change coins?” they would say, “What is offered before God must be clean,” so they exchanged them. Also, because the animals offered as sacrifices had to be clean, they separated them like this. But they did such things there. Why did they do that? When exchanging, there was a commission. Because of that. So if you bought animals outside and brought them in, they were rejected. You had to buy inside. Why? Because the profits would be higher. Because they did such things, Jesus (brandished the whip).

So our remnants must have the courtyard of prayer.
〔24〕 Happiness, Strength
But what is important is that the courtyard of prayer had its light on 24 hours. That is extremely important. When you say “24,” you must be happy in prayer. You must discover this. How happy a time is this! You must gain strength through this. And because people do not really know prayer, prayer becomes a difficult time. It is not so. It is a happy time. The time of prayer is the time to gain strength. In my case, it is almost a time of healing. It is so good.
〔25〕 Enjoyment, Waiting
Then this (25) is to enjoy the kingdom of God. And it is to wait for it to come. How good is that?
〔eternity〕 – 300%
What is eternity? From then on, amazing things happen. This (300%) masterpiece comes forth. Start now. Doing this is far easier. If, when you do business, you start without even 50% of your own expertise—that is what is difficult. You can do this (eternity – 300%) anywhere. Wherever I am, I look for (eternity – 300%). “What is the very thing I must do?” That is 100%. Then, say Pastor Akiyama’s church—what is most needed here? You find that. Then what is the thing that must surely be done in Japan from now on? 300%. It will come out anywhere. Remnants must surely remember this.

▣ Introduction
So we must do a little for the remnants. You will in any case become summit.
1. Summit Time
Have summit time. Because you will become summit. “No matter what, I think I will become a beggar”? If so, you should get a can, right? Because you will become a beggar. But if you are to become summit, you must have summit time. This is not difficult. Remnants must do this. Just when you get up in the morning, you must have a time to heal yourself the most and to gain strength. Right? You must not rush in the morning. You should get up a little early and prepare.

So once I came to know this blessing, I do not have those situations where I look at the time after getting up and say, “I’m in a hurry.” I get up fully three or four hours earlier. To have leisure. If my departure from here is at 8, then today I got up at 5. On purpose. I got up at 5 and did it. Healing. Already, when you sleep, most of you sleep with your mouths open, don’t you? Almost all. So in Japan I saw they even put tape on (the mouth). By then, most of you have all kinds of germs and your strength is mostly drained. Doctors think you must sleep a lot, but I do not think so. Sleeping a lot is more disadvantageous. A certain scholar in Japan wrote this. I agree. Comparing a cancer patient who slept three hours and one who slept eight hours, the one who slept three hours recovered much faster. A Japanese doctor wrote that. I think it is right. I sleep only that much.

3 Concentrations
When you get up in the morning, calmly gain the power of prayer. Pray for the things that will happen today. Because this 7·7·7 blessing will come here today, send it this way. Enjoy it with breathing, send it, and continue. Then enormous strength arises. Remnants, do it even for five minutes. Five minutes. And what about the daytime? Everything you meet is to confirm the answers. And what about the night? In my case, since I must organize the message, I receive the answer. This is what we call the 3 Concentrations. Right? We call it the 3 Concentrations. It is not merely that we did morning, noon, and evening—thus 3 Concentrations.

3 Settings
Then the bartizan is made. If there is to be a watchman, there must be a bartizan, right? If there is no bartizan, you cannot keep watch. We call the establishment of the bartizan the 3 Settings. Why? Because there is the platform, the watch bartizan, and the antenna.

3 Answers
And then what? From this time on, evidence comes. The evidence comes beforehand. Pastors preach with that. We call that “witness.” If I have not received evidence, and I try to preach, I am not a witness. Likewise, laypeople must save others with that—that is evangelism—so evidence must come. It comes. If this becomes a habit, it keeps coming. Then we call that the 3 Answers. Remnants must do this.

2. Summit Content
And what is the summit content? Jesus spoke it.
Bartizan, Journey, Guidepost
Set up the bartizan that will save the world. I set up seven bartizans. With this you go on the journey—seven journeys. And now, what is more important—here and there, set up points of revival. We call that the guidepost.

This is my content of prayer. Since Jesus set you as watchmen—the bartizan. Since you must save the world—the journey. Since our posterity must come, there must be God’s evidence here and there—the guidepost. Prepare this.

3. Summit Posture (Vessel)
Then, since you will become summit, you must have the summit posture. Because you will become summit. This is what is called preparing the vessel. Do it like this.

▣ Main Message: What You Will Receive
Then there is something remnants must surely remember. Because there are so many blessings to receive, you must not be interested in other things. Right? There is much to receive. You must not fail to receive even this one thing. I have evangelized with you for thirty years, and I hardly felt hardships because there were so many answers to receive that I did not feel them. Even now it seems there are conflicts as an important timetable has come, but I do not think so. Only those who will evangelize must remain. Those who will not evangelize—tell them to go. They have no meaning for me. Not even worth a conversation. The church is the same. Only those who will proclaim the gospel must remain—then the church lives. Then pastors must judge well on their own. Even if your church has one person, even if it has two, blessings exist only if the ones who will proclaim only the gospel remain. Is there not so very much to receive? Therefore, remnants must do world evangelization, so do not do what is wrong. Do what will receive answers.
〔1. Satan’s 12 Strategies X〕
I mentioned it earlier, didn’t I? Break it so that Satan’s twelve strategies cannot deceive you.
〔2. The Three Feasts – Enjoyment〕
We mentioned it earlier, didn’t we? The three feasts. This prayer—enjoy it. Remnants, do so. I am speaking of what is happening now. You must know what it was that arose from the beginning (Satan’s twelve strategies). It is Satan’s strategy. What first entered the land of Japan was Satan’s strategy. You must break this. And the three feasts in the wilderness. It is a repetition of earlier, isn’t it? You must remember the same. And what else?
〔Samuel, David〕
Samuel and David—prayer was different. After coming out of Egypt, the Philistines kept harassing them. But two people appeared—Samuel and David. While Samuel lived, there was no war. Not one of Samuel’s prayers fell to the ground. The prayer of one remnant among you is like that. Truly. David completely broke the Philistines.

One remnant is this important. Do not be shaken. Listening to that nonsense is useless no matter how much—you must firmly hold to the covenant. The remnant period is important. Hold to the covenant. Perhaps you see adults’ spiritual problems, don’t you? When did they come? They came when they were your age. Perhaps some are suffering from rare diseases. It came in childhood. Remnants are important—now. And when I look at some, even spiritually it is so hard—they have spiritual problems. It entered in childhood. Perhaps there are successful figures. They were made in childhood. Therefore the remnant period is too important. Have this strength. Then it goes on to eternity.
〔Daniel〕
And it came in every age—Daniel. The problems that arose fully at the beginning, the age of Egypt, the age of the Philistines, and the age of Babylon.

Therefore for remnant prayer, it is enough to grasp three things properly.
〔Acts 17:1〕
The necessity of Christ. If you do not know the term “Christ,” you cannot block the three disasters.

Japan is an exceedingly important nation. If it knows Christ, it becomes the greatest nation. Of the places I have been, it is the most convenient nation. The only country where a supermarket sells dress shirts is Japan. There are times when you suddenly need a dress shirt, right? Right? Suddenly you see there is no time to do laundry? Other countries do not have it. In Japan, if you go to the supermarket, it is there. The quality is good, too. From what I see, if this nation is evangelized, it is the best nation. When I look at the people, they usually do not lie. I do not know about behind the scenes, but at least ordinarily they do not. Koreans—almost always lie. If they spoke ten sentences, all ten are lies. Not accurate. Like this, like that. Japan is a nation that can do world evangelization. It needs Christ. What is the “necessity” of Christ? It means: you must, of course, know Him. I said to a monk, “No matter how much you try, it will not work. You have that spiritual problem, don’t you. It will not work. The more you cultivate the Dao, the harder it becomes. Why are you suffering like that? Buddhism is a good religion. But it does not have Christ.” It cannot be resolved. They keep shaving their heads and sitting there. God gave us hair to grow, not to shave. One head monk came to our church. What about the temple then—anyway, he came.

There are many such people. The inevitability of Christ. It is not only for me—it is necessary for you as well. Inevitability. The absoluteness of Christ. Without Him, it cannot be done.
〔Acts 18:4〕
You must know what prayer is. Prayer is to enjoy the power of the throne. Right? It is tremendous. It is to use the authority God has given.
〔Acts 19:8〕
You must teach what an answer is. It is that the kingdom of God comes. What is visible comes afterward. Before a disease comes to your body, the spiritual comes first. You were shocked, weren’t you? Later you become strange, don’t you? Right? Only when the kingdom of God comes does what follows come. You must remember this. Therefore, this is what only Jesus taught. Others did not teach it. The kingdom of God. From beginning to end. But we do not do what Jesus taught. I do not know why. Jesus said at first, didn’t He? Pray that the kingdom come. Do not do other things. God already knows. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. That is enough. At the very end, for forty days He spoke—about the kingdom of God. But insisting that we will not do it? Why is that? Not even thinking about it? Is that not strange? I thought much about it. “That’s right!” Now, you are praying here, and in the places related to you, the work of the kingdom of God is being accomplished. Right? This is what Jesus said. Remnants must remember.

▣ Conclusion
I conclude. Do not be deceived. Reality deceives us. Do not be deceived. Korea is fighting now, isn’t it? Do not be deceived. It is a fight between the left and the right. Those weirdos who have gone to the far right and the far left have (clashed). In Japan, even if they fight, if it benefits the nation, they unite their strength. Those weirdos cannot even do that. They fight to the end. Look at America. America also has left and right. But if they see something benefits the nation—if it benefits the nation, they all go together. In our country, if it benefits the nation—some deliberately ruin it. Why? Because if “those guys” are in power, it must not go well. When “those guys” are in power, our nation must fail. That way we can feed off it. They are weirdos. That is what it is now. Such psychopaths are packed in. Pray. Do not be deceived by reality. Also, do not take the world lightly. Why? Because Satan is so strong—do not take it lightly. And do not fear the world. He promised to be with you—why fear? Also, go just a little ahead. Then 300% will come out. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. Let this be the day when important answers begin. Today we hold to the covenant and pray—let the kingdom of God be accomplished. Let the work of the kingdom of God be fulfilled in every place related to us. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Living with the Holy Spirit

John 14:16. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to help you and be with you forever.

To live a victorious Christian life, we must understand who the Holy Spirit is. Many people know about God the Father and Jesus the Son, but very few truly know the Holy Spirit in a personal and living way. Yet it is impossible to live as a witness of Christ apart from Him, as Jesus said,

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

Who, then, is the Holy Spirit? Why did He come to us? What kind of relationship should we have with Him? And how can we be filled with Him? These are not abstract theological questions but the very essence of our spiritual reality and power.

The Holy Spirit is not an idea, a mystical force, or a religious emotion. He is God Himself, the Spirit of Christ, living in us. When Jesus returned to the Father, He did not leave us as orphans; He sent His Spirit to dwell within us, to guide, comfort, and empower us in all things. The Spirit is the continual presence of the Triune God in the hearts of believers.

In Today’s Word, Jesus promises to send “another Counselor.” The Greek word used here for “another” means another of the same kind. Jesus was revealing that the Holy Spirit would not be a different or lesser helper, but one exactly like Himself—divine, eternal, and equal in nature and power. In essence, Jesus was saying, “I am sending you another of Myself.” The Spirit is not merely a substitute for Christ but His ongoing presence within us—Immanuel, God with us, now dwelling in us forever.

In the ancient world, a ‘counselor’ was an advocate who stood beside another to help, defend, comfort, guide, or speak on his behalf. When Jesus promised to send “another Counselor,” He was describing the Holy Spirit as the One who would come alongside believers to strengthen, counsel, and empower them. He is our Advocate who defends us against the devil’s accusations, reminding us that we are forgiven, justified, and accepted through the blood of Christ. While the enemy seeks to condemn and sow doubt, the Holy Spirit assures our hearts that we are God’s beloved children and intercedes for us according to God’s perfect will.

When you pray, you are not speaking into the air—the Holy Spirit connects your prayer to the throne of heaven. When you pray for someone far away, the Spirit who transcends time and space works powerfully in that person’s heart, working in ways we cannot see. This is the invisible yet living reality of the Spirit’s ministry.

The Holy Spirit is eternal—He existed before creation and will continue forever. Yet the miracle of the gospel is that this eternal Spirit of God now dwells in us. The moment you confessed Jesus Christ as Lord, He came to live within you. He is not a visitor who comes and goes; He abides with you forever!

The Spirit is “a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of His glory” (Ephesians 1:14). In other words, the presence of the Holy Spirit is God’s seal upon your life, proof that you belong to Him and that His promises are certain. His indwelling, guiding, and empowering presence is the assurance that what God has begun in you, He will surely bring to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

Sadly, many believers live without awareness of this truth. They try to serve God through human effort and, yet remain spiritually powerless and weary. They know the Bible intellectually but have not experienced the life and power that the Spirit gives through the Word. The key is not more effort but acknowledging and depending on the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit in every circumstance.

If the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you (Romans 8:11), how can you remain powerless? It is a contradiction for the children of God to live defeated lives when the Spirit of the Almighty God dwells in them. The Christian life without the Holy Spirit is like a lamp without oil—it may look functional but cannot shine. Thus, we must continually desire the filling of the Holy Spirit, acknowledging that apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:5).

To be filled with the Holy Spirit means to let Him rule your soul, heart, mind, and body. It is to yield control—to allow Him to fill you with His love and align your will with God’s. Being filled with the Spirit should not be a one-time experience but a continuous lifestyle of surrender. Just as wine can control a person’s behavior, thoughts, and emotions, so the Spirit desires to fill and direct every part of our being (Ephesians 5:18).

When the Holy Spirit fills you, your life begins to change in both visible and invisible ways. Fear gives way to boldness, confusion turns into clarity, and weakness becomes strength. Your prayers—once dry and awkard—begin to move the unseen world as the Spirit intercedes and empowers you. The transformation He brings is not merely emotional but spiritual, reshaping your thoughts, words, and actions to reflect the life of Christ within you.

And when the Spirit overflows in you, evangelism becomes the natural fruit of the Holy Spirit. Just as the early church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, turned the world upside down with the gospel (Acts 1:8), your life too becomes a vessel through which the good news reaches those in darkness.

Living by the Spirit is not about chasing feelings but walking by faith. Whether you sense His presence or not, He is always at work—guiding you into truth, interceding for you with groans too deep for words (Romans 8:26), and reminding you that you are God’s beloved child. Therefore, do not ignore (1 Thessalonians 5:19) or grieve the Spirit (Ephesians 4:30).

Learn to walk with Him moment by moment. When you speak, let Him speak through you; when you act, let Him lead; when you pray, listen for His voice in the Word. The more you acknowledge His presence, the more His reality and power will fill every part of your daily life—fueling a life of witness, compassion, and mission for the glory of Christ.

Prayer. Father, thank You for sending Your Spirit to dwell in me. Teach me to recognize His voice and depend on His power every day. Fill me afresh with Your Spirit, that I may live as Your witness with courage, wisdom, and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The One Who Received the Light That Saves

Prayer Journal: October 20, 2025
19. Jan. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Genesis 37:1-11

Thank you. Today, for the first time, we will go out to a missions field and it is the story of Joseph who received an answer. We must check how he received the answer, mustn’t we? Joseph had very many hardships. When he was young, his mother died while giving birth to his younger brother. But that younger brother’s name is Benjamin. Yet because Benjamin’s mother passed away at his birth, he does not know her face. But Joseph knew. So how painful must that have been? It was the age when one likes one’s mother the most, and at that time his mother passed away. Yet with Joseph, a strange thing happened then. From that time on, Joseph overcame every hardship that came to him. That incident became a very important incident to him. What happened? It came out in today’s text. It says that the sun and the moon and the stars bowed.

He received the light that saves the world. So afterward tremendous hardships came. At that time he was not shaken at all. Why was that?

▣ Introduction: Light
1. Darkness
He received this light, and the opposite word of this light is darkness. Especially our remnants and our believers, when living the life of faith, there is no need to be shaken when you see hardships.
1) Genesis 1:2
In Genesis 1:2 we see that we are living in the midst of darkness. Thus, “the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep.” Because Joseph saw the light, he knew this. At the most difficult time. It was the most difficult time when his mother passed away, yet normally at such a time a person becomes discouraged. One also falls into hardship. But God shone upon Joseph the light that saves the world. He must have prayed.
2) Isaiah 60:2
So from then on, in Isaiah 60:2 it says, “Darkness covers the peoples, and thick darkness covers the earth.” Before darkness you have no need to fear at all. But usually our remnants, because they are young, when they go outside and see something big, they become shaken. It is the same when we look at history. In our nation many difficult things are happening now. Just wait and see. Our nation is a nation that must do world evangelization. God will surely break the darkness. You must have that assurance. Because light can overcome darkness. Conversely, darkness is not afraid of anything. Because it is darkness. No matter how much effort you put into darkness, it will not work. When light comes in, it disappears. Joseph experienced this when he was young.
3) Genesis 3, 6, 11; shrines, idols, religion, the six snares
So you must not fear at all. This beginning started in Genesis 3, 6, and 11. And to drive people into ever-increasing hardship, Satan made shrines, made idols, and kept making strange religions to make them die. So they continued in idol worship, and later even their children became caught in the six snares. There is no need to fear at all.

2. Light
Therefore what God promised was that He would send this light.
1) Genesis 1:3
This light, in Genesis 1:3, is the “light of creation.”
2) Isaiah 60:1
Thus in Isaiah 60:1 it says, “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”
3) John 1:11
In John 1:11, “Jesus came as the light.”
4) Matthew 5:14
Therefore, in Matthew 5:14, “You are the light of the world.”
5) 1 Peter 2:9
What is the reason He called you, giving you great blessing? It is unbelievable, isn’t it? Why did He call you as a chosen people, a holy nation? It is to proclaim this light. It is to reveal this light. Our evangelism committee dedication worship today, and those doing world missions, must hold this covenant.

▣ Main: [ Sun, Moon, Stars ]
Now, look at what blessing was given to this Joseph. The sun bowed, the moon bowed, and the stars bowed. This can be misunderstood. The statement that the sun bowed means that the father Jacob bowed; the statement that the moon bowed means that the mother bowed; and the statement that the stars bowed means that the eleven brothers bowed. So the brothers misunderstood, and they hated him and such. In reality it is not that. He saw a definite light that conveys the tremendous light of life. So the very first thing that happens to you:
Direction
In this part, when the work of seeing the light that saves the world takes place for me, from then on your direction matches with God. Our remnants must surely remember. No matter how well you study, if your direction does not match, it will not work.
Disaster
And you cannot overcome disaster. Right now the whole world is entirely in the disaster of darkness, is it not? You cannot overcome it. If you receive this light, not only will your direction match, but He gives you power to overcome disaster.

So when Joseph went, the brothers first tried to kill him and then sold him. He went as a slave, but he did not go as a slave—he went carrying this (sun, moon, stars). You must surely keep this in mind. You must not be shaken then. He went to Potiphar’s house, and it says God gave blessing even to the fields of Potiphar’s house. Potiphar saw and said, “The Lord is with you.” This is the true answer that remnants and you will receive. It is not that it is okay not to evangelize your relatives, but it is okay. They will see and say, “The Lord is with you.” Later, Potiphar saw and said, “The Lord blesses you in everything.” That is the standard of evangelism. Such evidence will come. Joseph was not shaken at all.

Then he was falsely accused and went to prison. He was not shaken. A man who came into the prison saw Joseph and saw what God’s power was. As it turned out, this person was a minister. A minister had come into the prison. Then he cleared Joseph of the misunderstandings, was released from prison, and returned to the king.

The time surely comes. The king, sleeping, had a nightmare. He had a strange dream. You too can have a dream while sleeping, can’t you? You can dream while sleeping. Some people, thinking a war had broken out, were startled in their dream and ran out—only to find it was just the alarm clock. That can happen. When your heart is impatient you dream of being chased. Right? When you are stifled you dream stifling dreams. Sometimes you dream the exact opposite. That is what they call a “nonsense dream.” There are many like that. But what happened with Joseph was that exactly the same very clear dream came to the king. This is a different matter. For example, if you keep having exactly the same dream, what happens? That is a problem, right? So the king became distressed. “What is this?” A nonsense dream is something you dream once in a while and it passes.

The king came to the point of getting sick over it. “What in the world is this?” Only then did the minister remember. “Ah, Joseph. Joseph who interpreted my dream.” He must have remembered. So he said to the king, “There is one person who can interpret Your Majesty’s dream.” That is it. The king, greatly astonished, asked, “Who is it?” “He is a Hebrew, but he is not here.” “Where is he?” “He is now in prison.” The king has that authority, doesn’t he? “Bring him at once.” At that time Joseph’s age was thirty. He had suffered for a dozen or more years. At that time he was thirty, and by Egyptian law one must be over thirty to become prime minister. It is strange, isn’t it? At that time the king called for Joseph. And he interpreted this dream. Not only did he interpret it, he also presented what to do in the future. The king was deeply moved. What was even more surprising was that he said, “It is the Lord who makes the dream known.”

Even when you evangelize unbelievers, there is no need to try to use very difficult words. If you talk complicatedly, it becomes even more complicated. If you happen to evangelize, just tell it simply. Do not say messy things like, “Have you ever been to church?” If you do, they will think of a strange church from the past—so do not say it. When I went for evangelism—at that time we went to the countryside for medical evangelism—what I did was go straight in and say, “While I was praying last night, God told me to go to your house, so I came.” I said this. The person trembled. “Why?” I spoke of the six states of the unbeliever. The person was astonished and accepted Jesus. In another place, when our team spoke about the state of the unbeliever, the person listened and became so startled that he said, “Why are you saying that to me? Who are you?” And he threw a pot. You know, the pot that was next to him. He threw it. And when asked, “Did it hit you?” they said it did not. He threw like this. But the funny thing is, after throwing it he said, “Come and see.” Such strange things took place. When we went and explained, this person accepted Jesus. Strange happenings took place.

Look at the monk in Taiwan who accepted Jesus. Our car took a wrong turn and went into a temple, and a work arose there. “God sent me to you, so I came.” I said this. “It is written like this in God’s Word.” That is far better. “God made the dream known to me, and God will make Your Majesty’s dream known. For seven years there will be a worldwide abundance. Then make all the land into storehouses. Then store all the grain from the seven years in the granaries.” Thus, to keep it from spoiling, store it underground. “After seven years there will be a great famine. Worldwide. At that time sell this grain.” The king was utterly astonished—even in economics. He made Joseph prime minister.

This is the story of Joseph’s life. What do the sun and the moon and the stars mean? In your evangelism and missions, what blessing do you receive first?
1. The bartizan of light
The bartizan of light is made first. You must surely believe this.
2. The sanctuary of light
For you to receive the blessing to do missions, the sanctuary of light is made first.
3. The economy of light
This came out this time. Your evangelism and missions make you receive first the economy of light. So from now on, when you evangelize, you must surely remember this.
Answer
What do you receive first when you evangelize in the future? You receive the answer first. You must surely remember this. All church leaders must remember this.
[ Receive the blessing first ]
When you do missions, God makes you receive the blessing first. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me, and I am with you always, to the end of the age.” “In My name cast out demons.” “They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” He gave these first. You must believe. God gives the answer first.

1. The bartizan of light
And He gave blessing on the journey you go—the bartizan of light. And what happened?
1) Evangelization of Egypt
The evangelization of Egypt took place.
2) World evangelization
Then he became prime minister; selling grain to the whole world, he proclaimed the covenant—world evangelization. When this (bartizan of light, sanctuary of light, economy of light) bartizan is established, it cannot help but come.
3) Evangelization of the family line
At last Jacob’s sons, Joseph’s brothers, went to buy grain. Because there was none. To buy grain, they had to bow to the prime minister, pay money, and buy grain. Picture the scene. Joseph’s brothers came to buy grain, but they could scarcely look closely at Joseph. The prime minister. He wore an awe-inspiring garment and they did not recognize who he was. Joseph recognized right away. “Ah, my brothers have come.” He recognized them, didn’t he? Joseph felt somewhat glad in his heart and so he used his head a little. They bought grain, and it would be put into sacks. He put an item into the sack. And when he sent them off, after receiving the money, he said, “It seems you have stolen. Our item is missing.” So when they opened the sack, there it was. “Ah, it is not us. Absolutely not us.” “Where is your hometown?” “Our hometown is such-and-such.” “What is your father’s name?” “Our father’s name is Jacob.” “Tell me about your brothers.” Joseph kept confirming it, since they were indeed his brothers. They told everything. “Ah, we have such-and-such number of brothers; one is at home, and one is gone.” Later Joseph revealed himself. The brothers were so astonished. In this way, the evangelization of the family line began to arise.
[ Answer ], liberation, 7·7·7, [ path ]
You must change your thinking. The moment you hold to the covenant, answers come first. You just follow that. But people do not do this. I will say it again. You have been liberated from darkness. An enormous answer, a blessing, has already come upon you. Then surely the guideposts, the paths, concerning this will be revealed, will they not? You follow this path. You must never miss this. So if you truly see this answer, there is no need to ask, is there? Right? You must understand what I am saying now. Because there are so many believers who cannot understand this. If this (path) is seen, there is nothing to worry about. If God’s blessing is seen, my thoughts are not important. Conversely, if God’s blessing is not seen, my thoughts become important. Right? If I do not know God’s plan, my judgment is important. If God’s blessing keeps appearing on the road you take, then my thoughts are not important. This is the key.

Surely our remnants, while praying this (answer, liberation, 7·7·7), will hear God’s voice, will see the path. Go that way. All seven remnants did this. So we are saying Joseph did this.

2. The sanctuary of light
The sanctuary of light came completely.
[ Three courtyards ]
There were three courtyards in the places Joseph went.
1) Many nations
Joseph alone, while selling grain, saved the many nations.
2) Healing
Joseph alone, while selling grain and acting as prime minister, completely healed.
3) Posterity
He saved all the posterity. This is missions and evangelism. Receive the answer and blessing first.

And what else?

3. The economy of light
At last the economy of light is restored.
1) Potiphar’s house
Wherever Joseph went, the economy of light came upon Potiphar’s house. This is the believer. Remnants must be assured. Wherever a remnant goes, there the economy of light comes. When you go to your workplace, do not overthink—just unconditionally save. Until when? I do not know. Do not calculate such things. You must produce ten times, a hundred times the effectiveness of an unbeliever. He saved Potiphar’s house. Who will say anything against that?
2) The king – the prime minister
He went before the king. From then on he began to save Egypt. Not only that.
3) The prime minister – the world
He became prime minister. He came to save the world’s economy. This is the economy of light. So do not think complicatedly; if you do not miss this (answer, liberation, 7·7·7, path), it will be fine. Surely so.
[ Blessing ]
What is evangelism? It is to receive the answer first. What is blessing? Before missions, it is what God gives first. Move according to this.
[ Salvation ]
We have been completely liberated from the curse. It is the same. Then the statement that we have been liberated from the curse means we have been saved.
[ Trinity ]
Within us, God—the Triune God—is working by His Spirit. You must not miss this.
[ Lord ]
Our Lord is God. The Lord of my work is the Lord God. The Lord of our church is the Triune God. Then works arise.

Therefore, all who received answers said the same words: “Because the Lord is with me.” David said, “The Lord is my shepherd. He is my fortress and my refuge.” Such words come out when you receive answers. And when you receive answers, you may speak proudly. He has become your Lord. Therefore David needed nothing. Because He is my Lord. To what extent must we go? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were about to die. Daniel and Esther also. They were about to die in Babylon. How did they respond? “God will save us. But even if He does not save us, it is okay.” That is how they responded. This breaks all darkness. You must surely keep this in mind. This is the life of faith.

What is evangelism? It is to receive the answer first. What is missions? It is to receive God’s true blessing first. It is to go out following that path. The tremendous blessing of the three courtyards will come to us first. Therefore you, confidently, as witnesses—to those who are in darkness, as witnesses.

▣ Conclusion
1. Assurance
You must have assurance. Right? What is certain, you must have assurance of. To what extent? To the point it appears in a dream. Diagnose yourself. What dreams do you dream the most? You can check yourself, can’t you? Which dream do you dream the most? It cannot be helped. What would be the dream I dream most? The dream I dream most is one thing in two forms. What is it? I always dream that I am preparing a message. And in about half of them, because the message preparation is insufficient, I go up to the pulpit with the message not prepared, and the congregation is packed. Truly. So out of ten times, about three times I dream such a dream. So:
1) Dream
He had assurance to the point it appeared in a dream.
2) Brothers
To what extent did he have assurance? To the extent that his brothers could completely revile him. Even if you are blamed, it is okay. You must hold to the certain covenant.
3) Father
Even his father reproved him. He had assurance to that degree. This is not about good or bad. The word to you is: have assurance. Have assurance of this (answer, liberation, 7·7·7, path, blessing, salvation, Trinity, Lord).

2. Suffering – important answers
And what is even more important is when suffering comes. The time when this suffering comes is important. You do well like this and have assurance, but when this (suffering) comes, you are shaken again. Without exception, in times of suffering, He gave important answers.

3. Answers – missions
And there is something you must remember at the last. There are times when God’s unimaginable answers come. They will come, will they not? At that time there was only one thing—only the Lord, only missions. He boasted of this. In your life’s path, do so.

People in the metropolitan area, compared to those in the provinces, in any case study more and teach their children, do they not? I earnestly ask. If you do not teach your children this (light – answer, liberation, 7·7·7, path, blessing, salvation, Trinity, Lord) blessing, you will make your children suffer for a lifetime. You must teach them. I earnestly ask the remnants. If you do not go now, as you grow older it will become increasingly difficult. Light. Joseph saw it from the beginning. During this week, as you pray, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that there will be works by which healing, summit, and the economy of light are all restored. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. We thank You for giving us the light of life that saves. Let a life of receiving the answer first arise, and let the work of saving the world be restored by first receiving God’s blessing. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Prayer of the Week: October 19, 2025

Heavenly Father, I thank You that even in hardship, crisis, and failure, Your plan never fails. Teach me to seek not my way but Your perfect plan through prayer. Open my eyes to see that You have prepared something greater than I can imagine. Like the remnants who held the covenant, let me find Your plan within the covenant of Christ—the One who crushed Satan’s power, became my ark, my sacrifice, and my Immanuel.

Restore in me the platform, watchtower, and guidepost of the throne. Let me discover Your plan to save this age and proclaim the Gospel to the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. Help me overcome with spiritual eyes, without competition, doing what seems impossible by Your power. During worship and prayer, reveal Your unchanging plan and make me a witness who turns scars into testimony and weakness into mission.

3 May the work of God that came upon the Mark’s Upper Room come upon me.
4 May Your time schedule that appeared in Antioch appear in me.
5 Grant me the very work that took place in Asia, Paul’s first mission field, where all the answers were discovered.
6 Help me find the life-turning point that Paul’s team discovered [Macedonia].
7And, grant me the grace to see Rome as well.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Those Who Can Do Evangelism and Missions

2025.10.19 Sunday 2nd Service
237 Missions Committee Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Acts 11:1-18

When we talk about world evangelization, Abraham said, ‘Surely not?’ So although he received many answers and made much preparation, in reality he was in a situation where he did not accomplish world evangelization. The same thing is happening now.

[ Genesis 37:11–45:1–5 ]
When Joseph spoke of world evangelization, it says, “Jacob kept the matter in mind.” Then one day Joseph became the prime minister. He came to carry out world evangelization. Thus we can easily miss what is important. And because it is not immediately visible before our eyes, we end up not recognizing it. However, this covenant will surely be fulfilled. I am speaking of what is happening now.

[ Exodus 2:1–10, 14:19 ]
This is the covenant that Moses heard from his mother. After the exodus, this is what is taking place now. On Moses’ way, God sent the Angel of the Lord ahead of him and guarded him from behind. This is what is taking place now. That is why we are offering the 237 missions dedication worship now. Many people misunderstand. They wonder what they should do, but it is enough just to hold to the covenant. Because that is faith. In reality, we cannot accomplish world evangelization, so we held only to the covenant, and God did it. You must hold to that evidence. Because Moses’ ability could not accomplish world evangelization, God sent the Angel of the Lord ahead of Moses and guarded him from behind.

[ 1 Samuel 1:9–11, 7:1–15, 17:1–47 ]
Look carefully at what happens in the Bible regarding missions. Hannah held to this covenant and prayed. One day, this covenant arose in Samuel as the Mizpah Movement. The same answer is arising even now. This became the amazing history by which David brought down Goliath and defeated the Philistines. It is the same even now.

[ Daniel 3:8–24, Daniel 6:10–22, Esther 4:1–15 ]
Those who held to the covenant given through Isaiah came to testify to God’s work there in Babylon. This is not about “you must do this” or “must not do that.” This is not about whether we can or cannot do it. We cannot understand God’s Word with our heads. We cannot go by our own ability. That is why we keep on disbelieving like this. “Surely, how could we do world evangelization?”—this is what Abraham thought. But it was fulfilled through Joseph, who believed the covenant. Daniel, who held to this covenant, brought about a history great enough to save the king. The same is happening even now. Through Esther, a work took place that saved a nation. It did not end there—the door to world evangelization was opened. This is happening even now.

[ Acts 13, 16, 19 ]
What is happening? The events of Acts chapter 13 are happening now. The events of Acts chapters 16 and 19 are happening even now.

Those who hold to this covenant, and know and believe it, are people who can do evangelism and missions. This is the time right now to receive this blessing. Originally, we ought to read all of Acts chapter 11 today. But because time is limited, we read only this portion.

▣ Introduction: Acts 11:1–18
We read only Acts chapter 11:1-18. We must be cautious. We are people who cannot do missions. Here, even though the age has changed, with the same time and the same answer, they still could not do missions. There were many explanations, but they could not do it. You must catch this. You may have many thoughts. You may have studied in school. You are living on that basis now and will continue to live on it. But you cannot do world evangelization with that. You must keep this in mind. With the thoughts the Jews had, they could not do world evangelization. They might be right words, but they could not do it. You must quickly catch this first. With the abilities you and I possess, we cannot do it. That is why Jesus spoke strongly: “All authority in heaven and on earth is given to Me, and I will be with you.” “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” They did not understand this. It cannot be done. There was even the matter of eating in Cornelius’ house—there are many weighty words today. You must hold to the covenant to receive the true answer today. There are many stories. Haven’t I said this several times? When I went to America—I consider the church leaders important—so after listening to them at length, everything they said was correct. So I always tell them, “Thank you for saying such very correct things. I’ll take it as a reference. However, elder, those words cannot evangelize America.” They looked a bit surprised. After hearing everything, I gave only the conclusion. “It cannot be done. American evangelization is not that simple. We cannot evangelize America by our strength. But God will surely do American evangelization.” That is why it is important. That is why today is extremely important.

▣ Main Message: Acts 11:19–30
The people who could do this—were these people. The church at Antioch. Their conditions were worse; they were those who were being chased. Those who were not being chased could not do it. So once it opens up to you, it’s over.

Introduction
1. The past
These people were still seized by the past. There was a circumcision party. How could there be a circumcision party—in the church? There was a circumcision party. You cannot do world evangelization like that.

2. The current mood
Why were they like that? Why did they say such wrong things? We can easily become like this. “Well, the current mood is like that.” Our remnants must not follow the mood. You must quickly discern the mood and go beyond it. You must remember this. Otherwise you will lose all the blessings. They are all at the doorstep, and you will miss them. These people could not do it. You must catch this first.

3. Public opinion
“Why did Peter go to a Gentile’s house and eat?” Does that make sense? From where we stand now, it does not make sense. Why was it like that then? Because of public opinion—public opinion. If you follow public opinion, you cannot do world evangelization.

4. The system
“Haven’t we done it this way until now? Wasn’t there a circumcision party? That is the system.” That may be true, but you cannot do world evangelization with that. You must teach your children these things so they know them, but they must go beyond them. They did not go beyond. That is why these people (Acts 11:19–30) did not go beyond. This is extremely important. These were the very people in the Early Church who received the greatest answers in Mark’s upper room.

5. Customs
They were still talking about “Haven’t we done it this way until now?”—customs. That is what was happening.

6. Tradition
What is even more fearsome? “Don’t we have traditions we have kept?” With such words—you can never do world evangelization. But these people (Acts 11:19–30) could do it simply. We must receive this blessing. Right? It is a great misfortune to live your whole life and depart having never been used for world evangelization.

7. The law
What is even more fearsome? They had an excuse. It sounds so right—“We must live according to the Word.” That’s right—the law. With this they blocked the whole gospel. This is how the Jews spoke.

Main Message
Not long after this, Israel ceased to exist. Paul even prepared for that. The church that prepared for it was the church at Antioch. If Jesus’ last words spoke of world evangelization, then we must align our direction that way as well. Whether it works or not is the next matter. Right? Whether we go or not is the next matter—the content must be correct. Even if we do not go, we must go in the right way. Even if we stop while going, we must go in the right way—if we go in the wrong way, it is useless. So how did the Antioch church do world evangelization?

1. The scattered ones
First. Though we did not read it all today, as you well know, it says, “Those who were scattered by the persecution that arose over Stephen…” They were the scattered ones. What is this, really?
[ Destiny ]
They were those who changed destiny. The scattered ones were not people who were merely running away. In fact, they were those who changed destiny. They went around doing the work of changing the destiny of others. This is missions. The covenant you must hold today is that the gospel you proclaim will overturn the destiny of many perishing people. You need not worry. You are worrying, but that is not your part to do. We are children of God—our destiny has been overturned. We are delivering this.

1) Genesis 13:18
So from the very beginning God said to Abraham, “Through you the nations will be blessed. Through your seed the nations will be blessed.” He said it from the start. Abraham at one point did not understand these words, and then he came to understand. From that time his destiny was completely overturned. May you go back receiving this blessing today. Destiny overturned.

2) The seven remnants
As you know, how did the seven remnants receive answers? Holding to this covenant, every destiny was overturned.

3) Those who were sent
They appear to be the scattered ones, but no—they were the sent ones. They look scattered, but they were sent. A remnant looks like one abandoned, but he is one who remains. Those of you who know English know this, right? The word remnant has two meanings—“the abandoned” and “the remaining.” It also has the meaning of “refuse,” and the meaning of “what remains in storage.” It is a striking word. They look like wanderers, but they are conquerors. They look like scattered ones, but they are the sent ones. You must remember this. You did not go by your own searching; you were sent from God.

The moment you hold to this covenant, the Angel of the Lord goes ahead of you, and the Angel of the Lord guards you from behind. According to (the words at the beginning), the answer comes. Even if you have nothing, it is fine. Holding to this covenant, how far have we come? We have come as far as the 5,000 tribes. Now, by God’s will, upheaval is happening worldwide, and children among the 5,000 tribes across the world are rising. Therefore, you must quickly prepare visas and such in advance. In America, Japan, and Korea—all advanced nations—it is understandable to be apprehensive because of visas. But the doors must open. The gospel is what blocks the worldwide spiritual epidemic.

Look at what happened in Cambodia. It is almost the same worldwide. Cambodia was simply caught this time. Apart from this gospel, there is no way to block it. Under no circumstances should you ever take back alleys in other countries. If they only needed to take your money, they could, but they kill you. They mercilessly kill. They have no thought and no maturity. For a trivial amount of money they have no future, nothing. Therefore we are working to raise important remnants within this, to extinguish the darkness.

2. Grace
In verse 23 it says, “He saw the grace.” Do you see the grace? In verse 19 it says, “Those who were scattered.”
[ Eyes ]
What does “he saw the grace” mean? It means their eyes were opened to three important things God gave. “He saw” means the eyes were opened. These eyes were opened. What eyes?

1) Past, today, future (blessing)
You are people who turn the past, today, and the future into blessing. You must see well. The gospel is turning the past, today, and the future into a platform of blessing. These people do not really know the gospel. “What is the gospel? Believing in Jesus.” Even the devil knows that—that is why he prevents people from believing. What is the gospel? It is to completely overturn the past, today, and the future into a platform of blessing. If you do not go that far, your life will never come out of the past. You will always remain there. That might be fine, but you pass it on to your children. You cannot come out. It is truly grievous. You cannot come out.

I tell the remnants, “Kids, be thankful for what you learned from your parents—and go beyond it. Do not spend your days always struggling with food, clothing, and shelter. You must do world evangelization. You cannot do that with your own ability. It is good that you went to college, but that alone is not enough.” Therefore, do it with what Christ has given. It is dark now. It is not only Vanuatu. It is so heartbreaking. We invited them, and for them it was their first time in life to get on a plane to come here. What an amazing thing—some brushed their teeth for the first time in their lives. It is miserable. Hearing that, Elder Mr. Soga in Japan asked, “Is there a way to send lots of toothpaste and toothbrushes?” There probably is.

I am not talking about brushing teeth. They are completely in darkness. They do not even know why they live. And the team that came to Korea were the elites. If you go a little deeper into the 5,000 tribes—you cannot even speak of it. They have no shoes at all. At all. Try living your whole life without shoes—you are not truly living. When we go, we prepare water to give them. There is no shortage of things to be frustrated about—we prepare water to give them. There is no water. “How do they live?” There is no water.

The gospel turns the past, today, and the future into a platform of blessing. The remnants did this.

2) Problems, conflicts, crises (answer)
The gospel makes problems, conflicts, and crises into answers. You must do this quickly—into answers. These eyes are opened, and “he saw the grace of the Lord.”

3) The throne (restoration)
The gospel restores the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne, made with what Christ has given, because by our power it cannot be done. Why is it grace that “he saw the grace of the Lord”? Because we could do nothing and had done nothing, and yet the past, today, and the future were all overturned into blessing. It would be fortunate enough that destiny changed, but now problems, conflicts, and crises were all overturned into answers. And when we looked closely, the background of the throne is our background. Believe. Do not worry even about disease—believe. To a friend struggling to quit drugs, I said, “Hey, do not think about quitting. Receive healing first. You must gain spiritual strength. No one can help you. You must truly gain spiritual strength. Only then will you overcome. Everything else is a lie. Believe God’s Word. May the work of the Holy Spirit’s fullness arise in you. Input and imprint the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne.” No matter how much people talk to those of you suffering spiritually, there is no one who can help you. That is why He showed this—“He saw the grace of the Lord.”

3. Disciples
Third. “A great many disciples were raised up.” In verse 26. Now the disciples were raised up as a great multitude in the church at Antioch—because they had to do world evangelization. This is verse 26.

1. The scattered ones (19)
This is verse 19,

2. Grace (23)
this is verse 23,

3. Disciples (26)
and this is verse 26. Here we find the answer regarding those who will do world missions. What is it?
[ 24, 25, eternity ]
They are those who saw this. Disciples began to arise.

1) Matthew 28:1–20
Right after Jesus rose, in Matthew 28:1–20, though some doubted, those who believed arose. He promised, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” “I am with you not ‘until the end of the age’ only, but ‘always.’” We believe. These eyes were opened. Then a multitude of disciples cannot help but arise.

2) Mark 16:15–20
Where you go, those demon-possessed and those who are sick will be healed.

3) Acts 1:1–14
Persecution, in Acts 1:1–14, will rather become the beginning. Those whose eyes were opened gathered in Antioch. They could not help but do world missions.

You must truly enjoy this answer exactly as in (the Main Message).

As I said earlier, a few came to greet me, saying they were being ordained as pastors, and I said, “A pastor must have no reason. A pastor must have no ulterior motive. A pastor must not worry. He only needs to hold to the gospel alone. Then everything will be resolved.” Right? If you do not begin missions to save the 237 now, we will lose to the darkness. Our posterity will already have to go there and run errands. We must block it.

▣ Conclusion
So then, as we pray, what kind of answers will come from now on? We must also know this, right?

1. Acts 27:24
As we go holding to this covenant, what answers will come? No one believes God’s Word. That is how the world is. They listen to the devil’s words, but they do not believe God’s Word. They listen to human words, but they do not listen to your words. Thus they met a storm. It was then: “Last night an angel of the Lord stood beside me and said, ‘Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar.’” This is the answer you will receive from now on. It means you will go to the place that has met crisis, give the Word, and calm the storm.

2. Acts 28:30–31
You must believe. There is no one who can block the Word. There is no one who can block the gospel.

3. Romans 15:23
It does not stop there. “You must go as far as Spain.” At that time they considered Spain the ends of the earth. “You must go as far as Spain.”

4. Romans 16:25–27
This is always the conclusion. God will give to you what He has kept hidden.

Therefore, from today onward, you who do world missions need not worry about anything. Wait by the strength God gives. Only. Do only that—only. Therefore you must first receive the answer. Only. Do not even think about healing the disease—only. From there the work begins. Thus, this word “only” is not an ordinary word. It is the word that saves everything. With this, as you pray throughout the week, you must truly wait for the answer to come at least once. God will send the army of heaven and guard you in front and behind. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You for giving us the work of saving the whole world. We thank You for giving it to the remnants. We thank You for opening the way to save the 5,000 tribes. From this very moment, let us stand before the power of God who works. Bless us to live a new life. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Evangelism Reproduction

2025.10.19 District Message 42nd Week
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:41

▣ Introduction: When we meet people, we first analyze who this person is. If we do not know that, we will miss many things. Every time we receive God’s Word, we must know exactly, ‘What kind of blessing is this time to receive?’

Although all worship is important, today in our cell group lesson we are looking at the answer that a woman disciple named Tabitha received in that region.

Acts 10:1–6
How important is this time? God called Peter in order to save Cornelius. Where did He call him? He called him at the house of Simon the tanner.
Also, as Paul was on the road, God Himself called Paul—but where did He call him? He called him beside Ananias, a church leader who knew the covenant. You must look at the Word now while seeing such a field with your heart and spiritually.

Acts 16:15
The blessing you will receive, holding to this covenant, is the house of Lydia.

Acts 17:6
The house of Jason.

1 Corinthians 16:19
Priscilla and the church in their house.

The message that shows such blessings is the cell group lesson. It is also the regional church message. You only need to keep that covenant in mind.
Now, in the midst of that, when we listen to people’s words, unbelief keeps arising, right? When you are sick and go to the hospital, you will listen to what the doctor says. You should listen carefully and accurately to what the doctor says, right? But if you are not careful, you become anxious. Doctors keep giving warnings in order to help you. But if you are not careful, you become anxious. If you are not careful, unbelief can arise in you. Some of them believe in God, but those who do not believe do not know the spiritual things. They do not know what happens in the body when you truly gain spiritual strength. Therefore, when you worship and receive the Word, you must listen to God’s Word with an earnest heart. Perhaps in the cell group, elders may give the message. But we often try to listen to the elders’ words; we must listen to God’s Word through the elders. That is why among those who have attended that church for a long time, the reason they fail without faith is because it sounds to them like people’s words.

So then, what is the best thing that we most tangibly feel? Right now, people of many nations have come. This is something like a miracle. Because among them there are people like the Priscilla couple. Among them there are also people like the Ethiopian eunuch. Also, our new family members will now receive the Word. Among them there may be someone like Paul. And among many remnants, there are those who will change the world. What is the greatest answer for them? It is not bad for them to think of you: “Ah, that person is truly excellent.” Not bad. “Ah, that person knows a lot.” Not bad. “Ah, that person seems to have a lot of money.” Not bad. But what is the real thing? “Ah, seeing that person, God is with them.”

An unbeliever became a believer and wrote an article. Reading that article made me think a lot. His close friend got cancer and contacted him. He says he helped in any way he could. But the cancer recurred. He tried to help again in any way he could, but sadly the friend passed away. Yet there, this unbeliever was deeply moved and began to believe in Jesus. As I was reading, I thought, “Ah, perhaps his friend miraculously recovered,” but no—what he saw was an immense peace, and how deeply his friend held to the covenant. In a moment, what did he feel? “Ah, this person truly has God with him.” He wrote down what he felt.
What is the best answer when you go to the field? “Ah, that person has God with him.” “Ah, he is a worker of Christ. He is one entrusted with the mysteries of God.” In 1 Corinthians 4:1–2 it says, “A man should regard us…” It should be “God should,” yet it says “a man should.” What does that mean? It means that when people see you, they should feel, “Ah, he is one who has the mystery of Christ. Ah, this person is one entrusted with God’s mysteries.” If they sense this, you have reached the highest point.

From this point on, evangelism begins to happen continuously. If, through you, the movement of evangelism reproduction continues to arise and the movement of life continues to arise, this becomes the greatest answer. Thus remnants and people of many nations and all important people will come to see these parts.

▣ Introduction
So then, briefly in the introduction, it is recorded:

1. The blessing of bearing fruit
When we meet remnants and when we meet people of many nations, we must let them know what the true blessing of bearing fruit is for others. It does not end there; what is the blessing of bearing fruit? This is extremely important. You teach a remnant, the remnant revives, gains the strength of prayer, and comes to life—this is important. You are working at your workplace; though you did not say anything special, God’s works begin to arise inside the workplace. There is no greater blessing than this.

2. Reproduction
At such times, the movement of reproduction arises.

3. World evangelization
World evangelization takes place.
It may seem like nothing, but when even one of you enjoys the blessing of Immanuel, reproduction arises. World evangelization takes place.
Now then, there is one thing we must surely teach. And there is one thing you must surely feel.

[ John 14:16, John 14:26, John 16:13, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:1–47 ]
Jesus Himself said, “I will ask the Father, and when I go, the Helper, the Holy Spirit, will be with you.” “This Holy Spirit will make you understand all things.” He is invisible. Not only will He make you understand all things, He will be with you forever. You must enjoy such blessings. “When you are filled with this Holy Spirit, power arises.”

This is truly worth believing. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, authority arises. No one else can say this to you. But in fact, this is needed. If you are sick, will that doctor do 24 for you, for just one person—you? He cannot. If you are in difficulties, can your family solve it for you? They cannot. As we live, so many hard and difficult things arise. Knowing this, Jesus spoke while looking to the future: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” Jesus said it. You must pray that prayer now: “God, during my worship today, fill me with the Holy Spirit.” Then everything begins to come to life. The actual evidence came to the Mark’s upper room. No matter how weak the ones who gathered were, it did not matter. God’s power came upon them.

What you must hold as your covenant in this week’s cell group and regional church is this: if power comes upon you, that region will live. If you believe now, answers come. “Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” I did not understand that before. In the end, I saw that the person who had this faith received that answer.

▣ Main Message: 300% (Only) – Concentration
So then, how can we do this completely? How can we possibly speak of 300%? We ask this a lot. But Jesus taught us: only. You do not need to do other things—only. Do not do the wrong things—only.

And this word only contains three tremendous things. Limited concentration. Is there anything else to do? Concentrate on what is important—only the Holy Spirit. You must surely do this on Sunday and then go and teach it in the field: only. For you to experience the power God gives, only. Nothing else is needed. Chosen concentration—what God has given. This does not mean you never do other things. Oneness concentration. You must have such time.

When I prayed like this, what experience came to me? No experience came to me. But that is more normal. Some say they concentrated and even fainted. That could happen. I have never fainted. Some say that while praying their whole body began to tremble. That is not bad. I have never trembled. Which is more correct? I do not know, but answers surely come. From that time until now I have enjoyed the blessing of world evangelization. Then that is enough. Nothing else is particularly needed. If the blessing of world evangelization has come upon your work, then in fact it is finished. Right? If the blessing sufficient for world evangelization has come upon a remnant’s studies, then in fact it is finished. Right? That is 300%. This is not my idea. Jesus said that when you receive only the fullness of the Holy Spirit, you will receive power and be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. For those who have evidence, few words are necessary. If the blessing of Immanuel comes upon you, there is little to explain. You must surely enjoy it—concentration. Only.

1. The secret
Then, before evangelism, what is this secret? What must we set as only? We should now know.

1) Christ, the Kingdom, the Holy Spirit (1, 3, 8)
First: Christ. Acts 1:1. The Kingdom of God. Only the Holy Spirit. This is 1, 3, 8. Concentrate on this. Nothing else will work. Other things do not work. Set only in the name of Christ. Then answers invisible to your eyes come first—the Kingdom of God, the work of the Holy Spirit. These come first.

2) Bartizan, journey, guidepost
From this time, what begins to come? A bartizan is made. This is extremely important. It is invisible. A bartizan is made; with that bartizan you go on the journey; and there you set the guideposts.

3) Reproduction
From this time, it begins to happen—the work of reproduction in your work, the work of reproduction in your studies, the work of reproduction in evangelism. It arises.

2. Evangelism
Then what is 300% reproduction evangelism? We must teach it. There are five points.

1) The upper room
The upper room discovered with only.

2) Team ministry
When you meet people, you must tell them this evidence—team ministry.

3) M.H
Right? The Kingdom of God comes upon your home—Mission Home.

4) Specialized ministry
There is no need to start with evangelism first. Wait for God’s works to arise in your workplace and in your work—this is the so-called specialized ministry, specialized church.

5) Regional church
Because of you, light will shine on a region—regional church.
You must enjoy this 300% of evangelism. Since you already have the secret, you are witnesses.

3. The timetable
Then limitations keep coming to us—the timetable of God. As you grow older, limitations may come—the timetable of God.

1) Public ministry → Jewish thought
During His public ministry, what did Jesus teach? He constantly taught something important: to go beyond human thinking—go beyond Jewish thought. That is what Jesus taught in His public ministry. Go beyond Jewish thought. The Sabbath is not a day of doing nothing—it is a day of saving people. Right? Even Zacchaeus the tax collector—if he returns to God’s Word—he is God’s child. And know correctly what blessing is—the eight blessings. Prayer is not what you think; He taught what surpasses.

2) Calvary, Mt Olive, Mark’s upper room → the crowds → the disciples
After that He led them to Calvary, Mt Olive, and Mark’s upper room. Right? What is this? Go beyond what the crowds do. It is not the crowds; it is the disciples. Thus, it is not Jewish thought; it is the thought of saving the world.

3) Antioch
And after that, Antioch. Why did those who possessed Mark’s upper room go to Cornelius? It is not that kind of thinking. It is completely the thought of saving the world.
This may sound slightly complicated. Simply put: go beyond my thoughts. The reason is that God loves you more and blesses you. You may be shaken and limitations may come because you lack power, but God’s power has no limit.

▣ Conclusion
Thus you must raise three movements. You must believe now.

1. The life movement
Through you, the life movement arises. Do not be discouraged; hold to God’s Word.

2. The spirituality movement
Within you, the spirituality movement—the spiritual strength—arises.

3. The reproduction movement
Save others—the reproduction movement arises. You must surely keep this in mind.

People’s words can help you, but they can also bring you loss. Therefore, firmly and accurately hold to God’s Word now. This very time is the time of these people (Acts 9:36–43, Acts 10:1–6, Acts 16:15, Acts 17:6, 1 Corinthians 16:19). May you enjoy this answer, hold to the covenant, and, as you pray all day today, may it become a time to gain strength.

People do not understand well. “If you are filled with the Holy Spirit, does sickness get healed?” It does. Right? An enormous power that people do not know arises. This is science. In the past I thought, “Does that make sense? How can someone be healed by prayer? Does that make sense?” One day, truly, I could not understand it then—now I understand, but not then. In my family everyone received the gospel and believed in Jesus, except only my youngest aunt. When she met the others, her older sisters would speak to her, but she still did not believe. So, to put it another way, my mother and my aunts all believed well, but that one did not. One day she became sick. And the hospital spoke as if there was little hope. They said her kidneys had completely melted down. Only then did my aunt say, when my mother was going to a conference, “I want to go, too.” So the next day she was practically carried to the conference. Does this make sense? My aunt returned healed. “Strange. What is this?” She truly recovered, so much so that, unbelievably, she even threw away the medicine. Inside, because my mind works that way, I thought, “She will die later—that’s what will happen.” But she lived. Then I quietly thought about it and quietly thought about the Bible and said, “Ah, right—prayer is a science.” Right? Prayer revives our brain, revives our thoughts, revives spirit and body and all. But I had not thought of it that way.
Jesus said to the disciples who had no hope and were in difficulty, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be My witnesses in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.” I came to believe that. So I said, “Ah, so that is how it was.”

Pray. Pray all day today. An even more important faith is this: “Whether it works or not has nothing to do with me—whether it is there or not has nothing to do with me.” Jesus said “only.” Without this answer, world evangelization cannot be done. I came to that conclusion: “Right—other things will not do.” “Just as John baptized with water”—that means John immersed in water. In that same way, when you are filled, it becomes power. May your remaining timetable become this timetable. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. Today, let us enjoy the power of the Triune God, who works invisibly. Let the power of the throne be fulfilled as the Kingdom of God. Though we worship here today, let the work of the Kingdom of God be accomplished. Let the darkness be driven out; let the disasters be bound; let sickness be driven out; and let every power of darkness retreat before the light. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

God’s True Plan is in a Different Place

2025.10.19 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Acts 10:1-6

▣ Introduction: What should we do when we meet hardship, crisis, and failure?
Thank you. Today we must confirm what answer you absolutely need to take with you. There are times when many new family members ask like this. They are trying to live the life of faith, and then a great hardship suddenly rushes in on them. There are also people—not only new family members—who meet a crisis while living the life of faith. And some people face a great failure. What should we do at such times? Most people become pessimistic like this and respond in such a way. Some people simply stop coming to church, hide, try to avoid it, and just give up. There are many people like that. Some people, in a great crisis, even go so far as to take their own lives.

1. God’s plan is in a completely different place.
So what must you go and find today? God’s true plan is in another place. We must find that. So this is not something solved by giving up or by trying hard. God has another plan. We must find that. Most people give up. Others say, “I will fight to the end and win.” In truth, neither of the two is right.

1) Prayer is finding God’s plan.
God’s plan is in a completely different place. Finding this is prayer. Today you must find this answer. That is how you must respond when a problem comes; and if right now a problem has come to you, then it is an answer God has given—what kind of answer is it? It is something better.

2) God has prepared something better, something unimagined, something great.
Satan tries to give you something bad. God is trying to give you something better. It is even something you never imagined. And God prepares something greater. This is the first and most important path of answer in the Bible. It is a situation that is utterly beyond understanding.

2. Those who discovered God’s plan
Now then, the examples you know well will already be coming to mind.

1) The seven remnants
The seven remnants who moved the world were all like this.

(1) Joseph (family problem) – From the beginning, he had God’s true plan (the concrete answer of world evangelization) (Genesis 45:5).
For Joseph, problems arose starting right in the family. So among hardships, the hardest is the one that occurs in the family. How severely was Joseph attacked? They tried to kill him. In the era Joseph lived in, a person could kill you and bury you and no one would know. So while it is true that Joseph prayed much, he also knew that God’s true plan—His answer—was not in his own household but somewhere else. Fortunately, Joseph did not realize this later while he was living; he realized it from the beginning. Therefore he came to see the world completely differently. You must surely see this today. You must find this answer. The sun, moon, and stars bowing—he already had the concrete answer for world evangelization. He knew that God’s plan was not in the place where his brothers were talking, arguing, and rejoicing. So one day when the brothers were about to kill Joseph, they sold him instead. You cannot imagine how shocking that was. He ended up as the prime minister of Egypt. The brothers, shocked, trembled before Joseph. At that time Joseph said this: “You sold me, and I became prime minister”—is that what he should have said? He said, “It was not you who sold me. God sent me ahead to preserve life.” This means Joseph knew this. Therefore you, who are in great suffering now—there is no need to be discouraged. In the Bible and in history, it has always been so. You must hold to this covenant.

(2) Abraham and Moses who realized late, and Joseph, Samuel, and David who realized early
There are many examples, aren’t there? But they fall into two categories—those who realized late, and those who realized early. Abraham and Moses realized after quite some time. Joseph, Samuel, and David realized early.

※ If you do not find God’s true plan, you will continue to remain trapped in wounds and hardships.
Otherwise, you will remain trapped in your wounds and hardships. Today, without listening to anyone else, hold on to God’s Word and find what God’s true plan is for you. In fact, from that moment, answers come.

2) The heroes of faith in Hebrews chapter 11 – the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
Hebrews chapter 11 gathers the heroes of faith. But if you read the beginning of chapter 11, it says this: “What is faith?” It asks. We do not yet possess it—“things hoped for.” And “things not seen.” That is what it says. Yet though it is hoped for, it is substance. Though you do not yet have it, you have the substance. Though it is not seen with the eyes, you have the evidence. Holding to that covenant, may today become an unforgettable day of blessing in your life, when you gain the strength to hold the covenant once again. I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus.

3) John Bunyan (16 years of imprisonment) – The Pilgrim’s Progress
As you know, John Bunyan, who received a sentence of 16 years in prison, found the answer. He discovered God’s tremendous plan. As you know, through the book The Pilgrim’s Progress, he carried out the work of changing the world from there.

3. How do we find God’s plan?
So then, today we ask: How do we find it?

1) The Early Church, though faced with hardships (the label of heresy, social severance, imprisonment, being chased, execution), overcame the Jews, Macedonia, and Rome.
The Early Church was placed amid enormous hardships. First, they were branded as heretics. Whenever the gospel—the true gospel—was proclaimed, this always happened: they were labeled as heretics. In a democratic nation, even if you are labeled a heretic it may not matter. But in an age of dictatorship, once you are branded a heretic, that is the end. You are cut off from the whole society. What then? Not only were they cut off; they were arrested and imprisoned. They were called heretics and then arrested and imprisoned. The one who went around zealously arresting them was Paul. And wherever they went, they were chased. It did not stop there—they were executed. What then? If these five things were applied to you, how would you act? I am very curious. If these five things came to me, what would I do? Yet the Early Church completely overcame the Jews. As you know, though they had no power, they overcame Macedonia. They even overcame Rome. That is certain. You must know this well. By that, all the answers will come to you. As I often say, by that, all the answers come.

2) Do not be wounded by difficulties, and do not just let them pass.
Among the families and elders around us, I have seen this. Because the times were so hard, there was poverty, disease, and tremendous suffering. You must not respond by being wounded by it or by just letting it pass. Do you understand? If remnants carry wounds, those wounds follow you for your whole life. You resent your parents, you are discouraged, and it follows you all your life, even until you grow old and die. This is important.

3) Do not be discouraged, do not take reckless courage, but find the answer within God’s covenant – worship and prayer.
Amazingly, by God’s grace, when I came to understand the gospel, I received the answer right there: “I will be a witness who proclaims the gospel to the sick, the poor, and those perishing without the gospel.” It is a little embarrassing to say, but from that time until now, this answer has continued to come. To be honest, the answer has come to the extent that I have no time to be sick and no time to think about anything else. If anything, I have sometimes thought, “I want to rest. I could use a break,” but otherwise, the work has continued without stopping.

Today, without looking at the person next to you, hold on to the Word and find that answer. You must. Otherwise you will suffer losses more unfair than you can imagine. I found it easily. I have visited many churches. I thought, “No, this is not it.” Today, seeing someone who received ordination as a pastor, I said such things. There were times I felt truly sad. I went to church to try to live the life of faith, and I saw many church leaders using words that were very dismissive of the church and of the pastor. It made me sad. Why do you come to church? Why do you offer worship? Then nothing will work. They live lives far from evangelism and die like that. I saw that. So I said to the person ordained today, “A pastor does not need to be respected, but he should not be despised, right?” And I said, “There is something else that is sad. Many church leaders worry that the ministers are so ineffective that the church does not work, that it is difficult, that the region is difficult. That is sad.” I said, “A servant of the Lord has no excuse. He must save unconditionally. He must save the region, save people, and save the church.” And that is what I saw. From there I found all the answers. It is not hard.

If you do not get discouraged, do not take foolish courage, and today find the answer within God’s covenant, then works will surely arise. In fact, we came to worship in order to do exactly this. We pray to see where God’s true blessing lies. I truly bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus that today will become an unforgettable day in your life.

▣ Main Message: Where is God’s plan?
※ God’s plan is not in Jewish zeal, the law, religion, feasts, or success.
The Jews, wielding much power, are persecuting—but Jewish zeal? No. The Jewish law? Religion? The feasts they kept to the end? The success the Jews speak of? God’s plan is not inside those things. That is why today something tremendous happened. In the house of Simon the tanner, a work arose. “Church leader”—the word “tanner” refers to a leather tradesman. Peter went to the house of Simon the tanner. Now, picture the scene in your mind for a moment. The house of Simon the tanner seems to have been something of a large home. Why? Because it was a house where evangelists, coming and going, could rest. He was a person of great calling. Peter stayed at that house. And while Peter was praying there, in a great vision, something happened. A work that changed the age took place. In the midst of heavy tribulation and suffering, the question is: Where is God’s plan?

1. The place where the original covenant is restored – the house of Simon the tanner
First, we must surely find this. God’s will lies in the place where the original covenant is restored. That was precisely the house of Simon the tanner, and that time.

1) Restoration of the original gospel
Simply put, it is restoring the original gospel God gave us—restoring the original gospel.

(1) Genesis 3:15 The Christ who will break the authority of Satan
“The seed of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” “The Christ will come and break the authority of Satan who destroys you.” Enter into that.

(2) Genesis 6:14 The ark
“Come into the ark. Make an ark for yourself.”

(3) Exodus 3:18 The blood sacrifice
After several hundred years, God spoke to Moses: “Bring My people out and offer a blood sacrifice.”

(4) Isaiah 7:14 Immanuel – the greatest answer, the most necessary answer, the true success
After about a thousand years, He spoke again: “Raise the remnants. A virgin will conceive and bear a son, and you shall call His name Immanuel.”
What is the greatest answer for us? Immanuel. What is most needed for the remnants? Immanuel. Has your work truly succeeded? Immanuel. This is what He explained. And at each of these times, the works that blocked the seven disasters arose.

2) Restoration of the glory given to Abraham – It ended with building an altar while holding the covenant that through you and through your seed the nations will be blessed and none will be able to stand against you.
Thus the glory God gave to Abraham from the very beginning—God’s will is in restoring that. From the beginning God said to Abraham, “Through you the nations will be blessed.” He failed to find this. Because he did not find where God’s plan lay, Abraham kept facing hardships. The hardship is not the real problem; the problem is that he could not find the way. He went here and a problem arose; he went there and a crisis arose. Everywhere he went, there was no way. But it is not that there was no way. “Through you and through your seed the nations will be blessed, and I will make it so that no one can stand against you.” He held to this covenant and built an altar, but it ended there. May today be the day this is restored.

3) Establish a secret bartizan and live as a witness.
This morning at our breakfast meeting with the session, I met with those who were remnants and are now elders. When they were middle and high school students, they attended our remnant conferences, and now those remnants have become elders. So I said this: “From now on, establish a secret bartizan.” Church leaders are also successful figures—people who have passed the bar and other high exams. “Those who are successful must have a secret. You must build that bartizan. And then you will stand as witnesses.” This is what must be restored.

2. The place where what Christ has given is restored
Second, what Christ has given—God’s whole will is inside the place where that is restored. It is not difficult. Inside the mystery of the gospel God originally gave. Knowing that your path in life is hard, Christ spoke of the secret—to those who are inside it.

1) The platform of the throne – bartizan
Simply put, the platform of the throne has come into being—the bartizan.

2) The watchtower of the throne – journey
The watchtower of the throne has come into being—the journey.

3) The 300% answer of the throne – guidepost
The great 300% answer of the throne has arisen—the guidepost. Those who are inside this are bound to receive God’s important answers.

3. The plan that saves the age
Third, where is God’s plan contained? It is within the plan that saves the age, which many in the Early Church did not know.

1) Cornelius – Rome
They thought they were suffering hardship and persecution, but God’s plan was for Cornelius. Why Cornelius? Because God’s plan was for Rome.

2) Rome – because within it are the 237 nations
Why Rome? Because within it are the 237 nations.

3) The 237 nations – because within them are the 5,000 tribes
Why the 237 nations? Because within them are the 5,000 tribes. Therefore God’s plan is somewhere else. So you must never be discouraged; you must remember.

▣ Conclusion: The promise given to the people who will proclaim the gospel and to the church
You are people who will proclaim the gospel, right? Our church is a church that must proclaim the gospel. If so, God clearly gave several promises.

1. The ten secrets – Survive under any circumstance (Calvin’s five doctrines). Spiritual eyes, no competition, summit, going into what is absolutely impossible and doing it by God’s power
You will survive under any circumstance. This is what we are saying. John Calvin summarized the Bible in five lines. First, human beings cannot be saved. They cannot be saved. Second, they have no condition by which to be saved. Therefore God gave the condition by which we can be saved—Christ. This salvation cannot be blocked. That is the fourth sentence. And what is the last sentence? Those whom God has saved cannot be destroyed. That is right.
Therefore, you will survive wherever you go. You must hold to this covenant today. Wherever you go, because you have spiritual eyes that overcome the physical, you will overcome. Remnants, we do not compete. Why? Because we go to the summit. You must remember. Why do we go to the wasteland? We go to the nobody. We go to the nothing. Why? Because we go into what is absolutely impossible. You must hold to the covenant. There, we do it by God’s power. God’s plan is in a completely different place.

2. When you find God’s absolute plan, that is when the work begins – The reason the world’s churches are closing is because they are in a place that is not God’s plan.
What do you think? We must stop this quickly. Churches all over the world are closing. Why? Because they are in a place that is not God’s plan. No matter how outstanding they are, they are in a place that is not God’s plan. As I said long ago, a person who boards a pirate ship—it is a thief’s ship, right? If a person on a pirate ship is a good person, is that okay? That is even worse. Right? Because he is so good, the pirate ship prospers. A person on a pirate ship is too conscientious—that makes him worse. If you boarded a pirate ship, you should not obey—yet he obeys too well, works too hard, gives his utmost, keeps the rules too well. That is worse—because he is on a pirate ship. Therefore, when hardship comes, you must not be discouraged or make useless attempts. If you only find what God’s absolute plan is, from that moment works begin. Today you must take this covenant with you.

3. Job, who found the answer within hardship
Satan’s goal is your destruction. God is absolutely not like that.

1) The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Let me not blame the Lord for this.
Satan filed a lawsuit, didn’t he? “God, You have blessed Job so much—how could he not believe? If You take away all his possessions and he loses everything, he will not believe God.” That disaster truly fell upon Job. When it hit, what did he do? His property, his children—everything was destroyed. At that time Job said, “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. I came into this world with nothing and I will leave with nothing. Let me not blame the Lord for this.” That was Job’s first answer.

2) My Redeemer lives, and when I meet the Lord I shall meet Him outside of my flesh.
Then he became sick, and even his family, seeing how sick he was, cursed; his friends came to comfort him but cursed him. Then he said, “I know that my Redeemer lives; and when I meet the Lord, I shall meet Him outside of my flesh. I will not meet Him with this diseased body, but outside the body I will meet God.”

3) God’s purpose is unchanging; He has many such things with Him. After He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
When you suffer hardship, no human comfort can truly comfort you. When friends come and say many things, that also cannot comfort you. A cancer patient once confessed this to me: as he lay sick, relatives and friends came and went, and it made him so sad. “My friends are healthy—what sin did I commit to end up like this?” That is what he thought. “But that is not it. If God chooses to call you, He can call you without giving you sickness, right? He does not have to give you cancer to call you. If He wants to call you, He can. God has an important plan. You must find it. Living or dying is not the issue. Hold to God’s special plan and pray.” That is God’s Word. I only conveyed it, and a miracle happened to this friend. Even if it had not happened, that would be fine; but it did happen. Is that comfort? What did Job finally say? “God’s purpose is unchanging.” Right? “He has many such things with Him. After He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Satan completely knelt. Truly, Job was blessed twofold. It was not because he suffered that he received it; it was because of God’s covenant that God blessed him twofold.

4. While worshiping, find God’s plan.
Today, as you worship all day, you must find this. You must never leave it undone.

1) Wounds are spiritual cancer; there is an answer in the problem.
Wounds are spiritual cancer. They will ultimately bring you down. You must completely find God’s plan. The fact that there is a problem means there is an answer, so it is good.

2) Spiritual sickness – When you gain strength, you become a spiritual person of mission. God gave the world to those who heal people with spiritual sickness.
If spiritual sickness has come to you—it likely has—I see that person as even more important. If you gain strength, you can become a spiritual person of mission. Paul healed people with spiritual sickness only three times, yet God gave him the world. Right? I too never imagined it. When I went into a village full of shamans to evangelize, I saw many things. Especially, I saw what is in the Bible. In the past, I did not even know such things were in the Bible. But when I looked, Paul had done that ministry. You cannot handle it; the answers will keep coming beyond calculation.

3) Remnants must turn every past thing into a platform; the sick must believe in God’s power. There is another world.
One of you is enough. Do it. Do not listen to people; hold to the Word and do it. Especially our remnants—every part of your past must be made into a platform. You who are sick—respect what doctors say, but do not put your faith in it. Put your faith in God’s power. There is another world. You must hold to it.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will become the day of the greatest answer, and that you will truly not miss it. Let us pray.

Prayer. Let today be the day we see God’s hidden plan. Let us see that God’s plan is not where the Jews are troubled, but where lives are being saved. Let us see spiritual Rome. Let us see the spiritual change of the age. Let today be the day we see God’s special plan within our greatest hardships. Let today be the day the problems of our family line are turned into blessing. Let my incompetence be turned into God’s power. Let my disease become the road of mission. Let this be the beginning of a new life for me. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

You Are My All in All

Hymn
You Are My All in All
Dennis L. Jernigan

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all
I’m seeking You like a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I’d be a fool
You are my all in all

Jesus, Lamb of God
Holy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Holy is Your name

Taking my cross my sin my shame
Raising again I praise Your name
You are my all in all
When I fall down You pick me up
When I run dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all   Chorus

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all
When I fall down You pick me up
When I run dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all   Chorus

Witnesses of Christ

Hymn
Witnesses of Christ
Joon Suk Kim

In this world there are people who suffer
In their pain, never knowing why
They are lost in their sins far away from meeting God
Living under forces of darkness

But the Lord, He has called us His chosen
Royal priesthood and holy nation
We’re His people of light in the darkness

Witnesses of Christ for all the world
Let us testify for Jesus Christ
King of kings and Lord Immanuel
Let’s proclaim to all of Jesus Christ
He’s the only answer to this life

Raise the Absolute Bartizan

2025.10.18 Scattered Disciples
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237 Nations and the 5000 Tribes (42)
– Model 36 of 7∙7∙7 –
Scripture Reading: Acts 9:15

When this happens, three things come to the scattered disciples. Three things come. What are they?

1. Absolute Bartizan
Wherever you go, you will see the absolute bartizan in advance. Pastors, do this in the remaining years of your life—establish absolute bartizans in the twelve regions. Remnants, establish absolute bartizans in your studies. How grateful we should be. Elders, establish absolute bartizans in your lives.

2. Field Bartizan
Then, second, the field bartizan becomes visible. If you hold on to this, surely the field bartizan will become visible. You’ll see it this way. But it doesn’t end there.

3. Future Bartizan
The future bartizan becomes visible. You must surely enjoy this. Some remnants say, “Pastor, why is my home like this?” It’s a blessing. God is showing you because you need it. Right? If you are truly a person of the future, God is showing you because it’s necessary.

Many people suffer loss because of wrong thoughts. Some foolishly say, “Our church has so many problems.” How could the church have many problems? It’s the people with problems who must come to church. Otherwise, should they go to a temple? Yet many church leaders say such nonsense. “Our church has so many problems.” That’s wrong. The church has no problems. It is God’s church. It’s we, the ones with problems, who have come. Therefore, we must receive healing for those problems. No matter how wrong a person may be, they must come to church and be healed.

That’s why Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden.” Religion does not teach this. Religion says, “Solve your burdens and then come.” But you cannot. Right? “Fix it first and then come”? Impossible.

Jesus gave a parable. Can the prodigal son who left home come back only after fixing himself? Never. Jesus gave that parable for a reason. He came back just as he was, in the state of a beggar. He returned as a total beggar, yet the father recognized him from afar. The father had been waiting. He ran barefoot, embraced his son, and said, “Why have you come only now?” That’s the heart of God. The son said, “Father, make me as one of your hired servants.” The father said, “Why would you be a servant? You are my son.” Then he said, “Prepare a feast.” But the older brother saw this and became angry, sulking. That was the parable. “You Pharisee, you are like this. Haven’t you eaten well all this time? Your brother was dead and is alive again—shouldn’t we celebrate?” That’s what Jesus was saying. We must understand the parable. Otherwise, we lose all the blessings.

Every time you worship today, and when you worship tomorrow, may you concentrate and enjoy the blessings to the point of being healed, to the point of becoming the summit, and to the point of saving the 237. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Today, grant us new strength. May the work of the Triune God arise, may the power of the throne be revealed, and may the grace that saves the world be manifested. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
