Scripture Reading: Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8

---

Around 1970, when we were college students, right? Even then there was this saying: “It’s Friday.” Of course it is a term used in America. It means that when Friday comes, you finish school and go out to have fun. Because they are so excited, it means “It’s Friday today.” In fact, from that time American youth began to collapse. On Saturday they went out to play, so they were not at home, wandered around, and ended up falling into drugs. Many problems came. As that became a culture, naturally they did not go to church. So once the American church lost spiritual power, it could not rise again. Therefore, the remnant age must be opened and we must rise.

「Main figures of the three-day weekend age」
So from now on, you must save this age. If you cannot save this part, you cannot save other places. From now until the time you graduate and go out into the world, there is something you must prepare.

▣ Introduction: Prepare first
There are some things you must prepare a little earlier. There are three things you must surely prepare first.

1. What to change (Acts 17:1)
You must change this during the remnant time. So they dug into the synagogue and emphasized Christ.

[ Satan’s bartizan ]
Almost everyone does not know this. They are holding on to Satan’s bartizan. They do not even know why things do not work. They do not know why many spiritual problems are coming. Now, because you have heard this several times, you may take it casually, but it is quite serious. It is serious enough to ask whether it is right to send children to America without their parents.

[ Christ ]
So as I said today, it can be changed only by Christ’s bartizan. If you do not change this, from the moment they go out, they will suffer their entire lives. Most people pretend otherwise, but most Christians are not receiving answers and are suffering. That is all our fault—because we did not change this. They do not even know that it must be changed, but Jesus said there is a complete bartizan of Satan.

[ Matthew 12:26–30, John 8:44 ]
They were astonished. “Satan, the strong man, is in your house.” And He said these dreadful words to the devout Jews: “Your father is the devil.” They were shocked: “Do you mean our father is the devil?” “Yes,” He said. Therefore they can never save the world. It must be changed during the remnant time. It is enough to understand this once.

2. What to find (Acts 18:4)
Then, during the remnant time, there is something to find. You must find what prayer is and what the journey is.

[ Journey of the throne ]
Change it to Christ’s bartizan and quickly find the journey of the throne.

[ Nephilim ]
If not, even without your knowing, the Nephilim are taking hold of everything. The word Nephilim refers simply to those possessed by evil spirits. Shamans have temporary power—Nephilim. In this way, they are digging into schools and carrying out the meditation movement. Those of you who know the gospel must take this seriously. Those who do not know the gospel will not even understand this talk.

3. What to establish (Acts 19:8)
So there is something to establish quickly for the remnants—something to set up. What will we do in 2025? We will look at these three (what to change, what to find, what to establish) at the New Year time, but first these (what to change, what to find, what to establish) must be delivered to the remnants. It says he explained boldly about the work of the kingdom of God.

[ Tower of Babel ]
Therefore many remnants and the young generation, not knowing, are heading toward the Tower of Babel where they cannot help but collapse. If it collapses, they die together.

[ Guidepost ]
So we must quickly establish the guidepost of the throne for the remnants. This must come first. But it is not difficult: during the remnant time—now, while they are young—it is enough if they understand well just once. If the adults sitting here have truly received a blessing, it will be the gospel you heard when you were young and the gospel that you heard deep in your heart. Apart from that, nothing else becomes yours. Even if you are older, the moment you truly understand the gospel, that remains forever. And all the rest of the life that remains came in during the remnant time.

▣ Main: 300% preparation
Now, while doing this, remnants must unconditionally prepare 300%.
“What is 300%? Isn’t 100% just 100%?” There is 100% for me. God has 100% for your way. And 100% is prepared for the future system. If you prepare this (300%), it becomes much easier. So if our parents and teachers do not do this, our children—even if they do not show it and say nothing—will suffer in their studies themselves. And there is no guarantee that even after doing that they will completely win. Someone said that when he went to Harvard, he was shocked. He thought he was good at studying. When he went, there were so many who were better than him. It will be like that. And that does not mean you will succeed. You must do this (300%) to succeed. Though it may rarely happen, even if someone did not attend school, if this (300%) is done, he succeeds. Simply put, someone like Bill Gates did not finish university. He went and then quit. Why? Because there was no time to prepare this (300%). It was at that level. So his eyes were opened to this. This man was totally among the Nephilim, yet his eyes were opened. He prepared this 300%. So wherever he went, he made money very easily. While we struggle because we have no money, wherever he went he just made tens of trillions. It has become like that now. Therefore our remnants must find this. How do you find it?

1. Prayer 300%
First of all, discover prayer. Prayer 300%.

1) Bartizan imprint (platform)
If you imprint now the 7 bartizans that Christ gives, it becomes a platform that never disappears. If this is not done and you go out to study, you must do it at the same level as unbelievers, and it is hard. We are at a disadvantage compared to unbelievers. Unbelievers do not go to Friday prayer meetings, have no Lord’s Day, and just play, so they have much more time advantage than we do. But if we are losing hold of this (prayer 300%), we cannot keep up with unbelievers. If we are not careful, though we should be leading unbelievers, we end up following them and suffer all our lives. This is the only thing that must be found during the remnant time. Of course, nothing is impossible even when you are older, but it is harder. If a remnant finds it, it is easy.

2) Journey (root)
And nothing else is necessary. Christ explained the journey He goes—the journey of the throne. Imprint the bartizan of the throne and root the journey of the throne. Then a bartizan that shines light, a watchman’s bartizan, will naturally be set up.

3) Guidepost (nature)
You must make the guidepost of the throne that Jesus explained—from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth—completely your own as your nature. This is prayer 300%. It is easy. You just pray continually. Then little by little it becomes imprinted in you. What is imprinted does not go out. One day it takes root and then fruit begins to come forth. At last it becomes your nature and you change the age. The Bible strongly emphasizes this as the remnant movement. From now on you need not worry about circumstances. Just prepare this (prayer 300%). Even if perhaps you are not exceptionally skilled in studies, it is fine. If you prepare this (prayer 300%), you gain strength.

2. Studies 300%
Now, with this strength, make your studies 300%. To the precious multiethnic people who came here, I asked like this: “Make it 300% and go.” “But how do we make this 300%?”

1) Talent specialization 100%
If you pray even a little, from then the exact talent appears. Talent is given from above, but because you do not pray at all, you do not know it; if you pray a little, talent comes out. Specialize this (talent). 100%.

2) Field-ization 100%
Next, even before going out, you must open your eyes to the field. It is the nature of the field and field-ization 100%. Do exactly this.

3) System 100%
Finally, what is it? You see the age. So make the system 100%. Then you will inevitably win. So thankfully—this is not boasting but testimony—I completed this blessing during college. Then answers came astonishingly. Because I am somewhat lacking, I did not prepare much. If I had known, I would have prepared much; but blessings and answers poured out and I have been beside myself until now. Truly so. Remnants—since you know you will conquer the world—pull yourselves together and prepare.

How easy is this? My talent had to be evangelism. So I prepared everything about evangelism. How full of grace it is—the preparation. Others who had money traveled and went to have fun, but I could not. I entered the field 100%. I received so much grace. And before coming here, I could see the system clearly: “Ah, if we do it like this, it will work.” So before coming here, I was doing the evangelism movement and then I came. Just as our elder prayed, from the meeting (Evangelism House) to the 5,000 tribes, God continued to work without ceasing.

In 2025, amazing evidences will arise. Here we will firmly set up the three courtyards, and a sure door will be prepared toward the 5,000 tribes. And remnants, prepare like this. Even if perhaps you do not study well, if this preparation (studies 300%) is in place, you will succeed. But if you did well in studies and yet this preparation (studies 300%) is not in place at all—then what should you do? You must take exams and get a job. You must barely pass through competition. But this (studies 300%) is not in place. This (prayer 300%) is even less in place. Without this strength (prayer 300%), of course this (studies 300%) will not work, right? Then after getting a job, you must compete. And when you compete, you see that the ranks are full of people flying about illegally with tricks. You must listen well now—if you do not get this (studies 300%), you cannot overcome it. You will have to use tricks. From then, what can you do? Because you must live, you package yourself. If you do not even do that—long ago, our elders lived sincerely, so even with that it worked. But now that does not work. If you remain still like this, when you get older you must marry; from then on it is no longer packaging—you are the head of the household. You must deceive something. Pretend otherwise. Pretend to be skilled. You must deceive, though you do not actually have skill, acting as if you do and putting on airs. What else can you do then? After you pass the young adults stage, difficulties come. A situation where you should be doing world evangelization should come, but instead you are chased by difficulties. Of course even then God will protect you. But that is not what we are about. We must do world evangelization and go. To be born and merely eat and then go? That is not us. That is animal level. Animals may eat and go. We are not that. We must surely prepare. And finally there is something to remember.

3. Future 300%
Because you must carry out world evangelization, you must prepare 300% for the future. What does that mean?
1) 237
When the remnants do everything like this, it fits the 237 nations. It is set to fit exactly.
2) 5,000
Then, if you hold to the covenant a little more, it is set to fit the 5,000 tribes. Then your occupation, work, and studies are set aright.
3) Missions 300%
Now you must be able to go to these (the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes) and do missions. The 300% for missions comes out. This (missions 300%) is Paul’s team. This (missions 300%) is the people of Romans 16. What is 100%? They were completely led by the Holy Spirit. They first received the leading of the Holy Spirit. They first received power. Then what? The work of the Holy Spirit took place in the field. And then what? A system is made. The fruit of the Holy Spirit begins to arise.
Exactly like this is enough. What remnants must remember forever and for life (introduction, main message). Do this. Then answers will come to you beforehand, so there is nothing to worry about.

▣ Conclusion [ holy meditation age ] [ main figures of the three-day weekend age ]
When this happens, you open the holy meditation age, and as in today’s title, you become the protagonists of the three-day weekend age.

1. Healing
What kind of protagonist do you become? On Friday of the holy meditation age, you will heal the whole world. You first change the culture. The multiethnic people here receive this blessing and go change the culture. You must surely remember this from childhood.
You may not understand this. Those who are my age will understand. We did not have food, so we mostly received food aid from America. In our village, the empty cans left over from what was sent from America filled the whole village. So from childhood we saw English letters—because we ate aid food. We were so poor that we had no clothes. Now there are clothes everywhere. Because we had no clothes, we wore clothes brought from abroad. When they send clothes from abroad, do they tailor them to fit us? No. When they arrived, people in the village or church gathered, tried them on, and took what fit. When I looked at that, my father scolded me. I did not understand. Why wouldn’t he let me look? It was interesting to look. Later I understood. Even among such circumstances, those who had some thought felt it was shameful. How would I know that? My father got angry and scolded me. I later realized, “Ah.” Now I understand.
We must give healing. Fortunately, missionaries came to our country and healed Korea well. Healing. This is the first of the three-day weekend age.

2. Summit
For remnants, no matter what anyone says, you must discover talent and make it 300%. This is the remnant Summit. This mainly takes place on Saturday.

3. Worship
Why is it called the three-day weekend? On the Lord’s Day, remnants must completely restore worship. That is the end. Remnants must hold to worship so firmly today that answers naturally come throughout the six days. Teachers who teach remnants and our associate ministers must not worry but prepare with your life.

I do not read books on Saturday. I do not look at other things on Saturday. On Saturday it is almost fine even if I do not sleep. What is my task? What does God desire most today as the remnants gather? You must ask that all night. I must not tell my own story. We must hear what God desires. Preparing that is preaching. Congregants do not come to hear a sermon; they come to offer worship. If we do not succeed here, it will not do. I bless our remnants in the name of Jesus Christ to begin, from now on, the preparation to save the world. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. Let this graduation worship not be an end but a beginning. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

29. Dec. 2024 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service Scripture Reading: Acts 16:6-10

▣ Introduction
Thank you.
※ John Bunyan, who went to prison for preaching the gospel – wrote the work The Pilgrim’s Progress and turned the whole world upside down.
Even today there are countries where you cannot preach the gospel. John Bunyan was arrested for preaching the gospel. And he received a sentence of 16 years. What would you do if it were you? Would you still attend church? Most people would not. He faced a situation of being locked up for 16 years. Usually, when those of us who live a life of faith face difficulties, we hesitate a lot, saying, “What should I do?” Because it looks as if there are no answers in sight, we are shaken. But John Bunyan was not shaken at all. There, as you know, he read the Bible and began to create a work. For a time, it became the most widely read book in the world. The title of that book is The Pilgrim’s Progress. It means “the pilgrim’s path.” He wrote that single book in prison. And it turned the world upside down.

The content is as follows. To a man named Christian, He says this: “The city you live in is not an ordinary city. It is the City of Destruction.” So he called it the City of Destruction—“a city that will be destroyed in the future.” “You must soon leave. Head toward the Celestial City.” “Do not just go alone; if possible, take your friends.” In other words, evangelize. So he takes two friends. One friend’s name is Obstinate. Obstinate refuses for three reasons and will not go. “This city will soon be destroyed.” He says, “It’s fine.” But the other friend’s name is Pliable. Because he is pliable, he follows along well like this. As they go, they enter a certain marketplace. The name of that market is Vanity Fair. It looks very splendid, but it is utterly empty. The product they try to purchase there is a product called Truth. Christian looks for it, but there is no product called Truth. The friend named Pliable sees the goods of Vanity Fair, likes them very much, and says he will live there forever and refuses to come out. In the end, Christian goes on alone.

As he goes, to reach the Celestial City he must pass through a certain gate. He tries to enter the gate, but the gate is small. He cannot get in. Then the watchman looking down from above, whose name is Discretion—“Hyo-si (曉示),” meaning “one who sees the dawn”—says, “You cannot enter here.” Looking closely, the burden on his back is larger than his body. When he removes it, he slips in.

After he enters, this watchman named Discretion gives two gifts. He gives him a sword. “This sword is the sword of the Word, and with it you can defeat the enemy.” Then he gives him armor. “This armor cannot be penetrated by any sword. And this sword can pierce anything.” He tells him to take them and go. But the moment he puts on the armor, he realizes there is no back. Strange, isn’t it? Without a back, it is like a front apron. So he ties it with straps and sets out.
As he goes, he meets a fearsome devil commander named Apollyon. With a long spear and even flapping wings, Apollyon comes attacking. Christian cannot possibly win. The wings flap, he flies, and attacks with a long spear. At that moment, Christian realizes something instantly: “This will not work. The best strategy is to run away.” So there is a saying “the 36 stratagems.” The last and greatest strategy among the strategies of battle is to flee. He tries to run away and then realizes there is no back. “Ah, if I turn back, I will die.” So he fights with all his might. Then something strange happens. No matter how much the devil commander stabs Christian with the spear, he cannot be pierced. Christian catches on to this: “Ah!” Even more surprising, the devil commander also catches on: “This one will not die.” Simply put, the devil falls into a trial. Knowing this, Christian creates a golden opportunity and kills Apollyon with the sword. With a single blow, Apollyon falls. Then he heads toward the Celestial City.
He has almost arrived when two lions stand guard. They roar to devour him. What should he do? When he tries to run, he cannot. Looking closely, that is not the case. The lions have four legs, but both front legs are tied. They are bound with chains. So, though they come near and roar, they cannot bite. Knowing this, Christian passes by calmly. That is the book’s content. It began to sell throughout the world.

1. When the way is blocked
Today we are sending off the year and entering the timetable of welcoming the New Year. So, how should we go through this year? Also, the way is blocked. We see today that Paul’s way of evangelizing was completely blocked in Asia. He tried to go to Bithynia, but that way was blocked as well.

1) Most people give up
What do we do at such times? When the way is blocked or when we face difficulty, what do we usually do? Most people give up. When we try to begin our life, it is an extremely important timetable—what should we do?

2) Religion – teaches that you reap what you sow. Almost all will die.
Religion teaches like this: “You will receive according to what you have done; you will reap what you have sown.” That is the “truth” of religion. If that is so, I cannot be saved. You might be saved, but I have nothing to receive. If we follow religion, almost all will die. “You will reap what you have sown.”

3) Buddhism – teaches that since there is a next life, endure.
What does Buddhism teach? “Even if you suffer now, there is a next life. Endure.” Is that so? I cannot endure. That is how they teach. So, when I went to Thailand, I saw in front of a very wealthy house that a child was sweeping and doing chores very well. I asked how he could do that, and they said he does that to be born well in the next life.

4) People go to fortune-tellers possessed by evil spirits. And so they receive the leading of evil spirits.
Some people, when they try to begin a year and difficulties come, naturally go to have their fortunes told. They say the most fortune-telling is done in January. Right now is the time when fortune-tellers make money. Even deacons go. Deacons go to have their fortunes told and ask, “If I do this business, will it go well or not?” They say that even foolish pastors go. They go to a fortune-teller and ask, “If I plant a church here, will it go well or not?” The moment you have your fortune told by someone possessed by an evil spirit, you are led by evil spirits.

2. God surely guides you. You just need to go there.
Now, we are beginning to go into a year we have never been to before—2025. In fact, we have never encountered the year 2025. We only guess by God’s grace, “It will be like this,” but we do not know. But the way is blocked. “I do not know what to do.” At this point most people miss what is important.
Today I also had time to counsel a remnant. In the content it said, “I do not know what I should do.” So I will answer: “Do nothing.” If you do not know, there is no need to do anything.

1) The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord, guides you (verses 6–7).
What does verse 6 say today? “The Holy Spirit forbade them to speak the word in Asia.” In verse 7, “The Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.” In verse 9, “In the night a vision appeared to Paul: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’” “We concluded that God had called us.” Simple, isn’t it? This is how it begins. This means the Holy Spirit guides you. It means the Spirit of the Lord guides you. You must have this answer.

2) When you pray, God sends His angel and makes known the future (verse 9).
“In a vision” means that when you pray, God sends His angel to you and makes known the future. From here the important answer comes. You understand, right? It must always be so. God will surely guide you. You just need to go there.

3) Unbelievers, because they do not have the Holy Spirit, have no choice but to go to those possessed by evil spirits.
Unbelievers have no choice but to go to those possessed by evil spirits. They do not have the Holy Spirit. Right? That is an enormous difference. Unbelievers do not have the status of God’s children. There is nothing to be offended about. Because they do not believe, they are not God’s children. They do not have the life of Jesus. Therefore, of course they must go to those possessed by evil spirits. Of course they must go bow to a tree—just in case an evil spirit might come. Such a pitiful life. They must bow to a stone—because perhaps an evil spirit might come there. Should we live such a life? What troubles me these days is that too many of our nation’s politicians follow such strange divination, because they are anxious.

4) Confirm that this year will be one in which the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord, completely guides you.
From now on you must live this way daily, but we have the New Year prayer meetings ahead. You must confirm it: “This year will be one in which the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord, completely guides me.”

3. How should we do it? We should pray.
What should we do? We should pray. Right?

1) Hold to the covenant within the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost that Jesus gave.
In the end, hold to the covenant within the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost that Jesus gave. There is nothing to rush. It will become clear. “What if I am hesitant?” If you are hesitant, do not do it. “Should I do this? Should I do that?” Do not do it. God will surely guide you in 2025. Right? Here is where you must now conclude your life with an answer. If it is true that He surely guides, then it is already finished for us.

2) Paul knew this and entered into deep prayer.
Paul knew this and entered into deep prayer. Just as we now have New Year prayer meetings, he entered into deep prayer. Because I am inferior to Paul, I pray even more than Paul—simply 7·7·7, 24 prayer.

▣ Main

1. Life turning point
At this time, a tremendous life turning point arose for Paul.

1) Paul – On the night in Troas when every door was blocked, the door of Macedonia opened, fulfilling the word that he was a chosen instrument to stand before kings and Gentiles.
What was fulfilled? The word that said of Paul, “He is a chosen instrument to carry my name before kings and the Gentiles.” That door opened: “to Macedonia.” That is right. The Asian family would not work. “To Macedonia.” In today’s terms—“to Europe.” At that time Europe was in control. So what is it? A tremendous answer began to be fulfilled. You must hold to this as you send off this year. How simple is it? All you have to do is pray. If you pray, He gives the answer—it becomes certain. Do you have to see a vision? No. It comes out clearly. Do you have to dream a dream? No. It comes out clearly. Many dreams are nonsense. Therefore a clear answer must come. People dream according to their temperament—those are nonsense dreams. Someone said there was a war in his dream and it was a mess, but it turned out it was just the alarm clock ringing—wasn’t it? How much of a nonsense dream is that? Someone dreamed of a flood—and he had wet his pants. You must not believe such nonsense dreams. You must hold to the sure covenant of God.

2) Joseph – While holding to God’s covenant and praying when his mother died and he was near death, he saw the vision of world evangelization.
What is this? The entire history begins to be seen. When his mother died and he was on the verge of death, Joseph held to God’s covenant and prayed, and he saw the vision of world evangelization. Such a work arose. Right?

3) Moses – God appeared in the fire. “Go to offer the blood sacrifice.”
The people of Israel were all about to die. While he was tending sheep in the wilderness, God appeared in the fire. He remembered the word his mother had given him 80 years earlier: “Go to offer the blood sacrifice.” From that sacrifice he had heard from his mother, the works began. You must never lose this.

※ The Holy Spirit is in you and guides you. The moment you are led by the Holy Spirit, a turning point for your entire life arises. You have the qualification to be led by the Holy Spirit. This is the difference between a believer and an unbeliever. There is no other difference. The Holy Spirit is in you and guides you. To the unbeliever—truly, I am sorry—an evil spirit works and guides that person. That is why they go to have their fortunes told. That is why they go to worship idols. They have no choice. That is why spiritual problems come. Therefore, the moment you are led by the Holy Spirit, a turning point for your entire life arises.

4) David – While working alone, holding to the covenant in the pasture, he came to meet Goliath.
As you know well—while he was working alone in the pasture, holding to the covenant, one day he came to meet Goliath. He came. He met a great turning point of life.

5) Elisha, Obadiah – Having received just a little guidance of the Holy Spirit, God carried out the work of changing the world.
The nation had become an idolatrous nation and all were about to die. Look at Elisha. Look at Obadiah. Having received just a little guidance of the Holy Spirit—see Obadiah, who hid 100 prophets in the crisis. God carried out the work of changing the world. ※ The more certain, the better. The covenant does not change. God protects the church and the individuals who will carry out world evangelization.
The more certain, the better. Do not be shaken—the more certain, the better. Why? Because the covenant does not change. World evangelization is God’s will. God protects the church that will carry out world evangelization. God protects the individuals who will carry out world evangelization. No matter what anyone says, it is so. Right? Hold to this covenant firmly.
As you know, after Paul met Christ, he was completely changed. And through Ananias came the word: “He is a chosen instrument to stand before Israel, the Gentiles, and kings.” When was this fulfilled? When every door was blocked—on the night of Troas. The place was Troas. On the night of Troas.

※ When life is the hardest, God gives the best. In a certain sense, when your life is the hardest, God gives the best.
I always pray when I see the multiethnic people who have come from abroad. They are now facing the most important timetable of life. If there are people who pray for them, God will not leave them alone. You must hold on.

2. Turning point for the church – You meet the people God has prepared.
As time is short, secondly: In order to receive this guidance of the Holy Spirit, Paul prayed that night—and this became a complete turning point for the church. From then on he met people whom God had prepared.

1) While going to pray he met Lydia, and he healed the sickness of a demon-possessed person whom no one could heal.
While going to pray, he met Lydia. Lydia did not invite him first. While going to pray, he met Lydia. This is the firstfruit. It is the firstfruit of Macedonia. Paul proclaimed the gospel. The Bible says, “The Lord opened Lydia’s heart.” Then Lydia said, “Come into my house and stay.” From then the works began. If you are led by the Holy Spirit and see God’s sure guidepost, then within that turning point the work of changing the church will happen.
He healed the sickness of a demon-possessed person whom no one could heal. Right?

2) In Thessalonica, the gateway to Rome, God had prepared Jason.
It did not end there. There was a great nation that connected to Rome—Thessalonica. God sent Paul there. When he arrived, a person like Jason was prepared. And not only that.

3) God prepared the couple Priscilla and Aquila, who would change the world, and had them meet Paul.
God had prepared the couple Priscilla and Aquila who would change the world, and had them meet Paul. It was not through someone’s introduction. It was complete leading of the Holy Spirit. In this way, God had prepared them.

3. Turning point that changes the world – Rome
Today, and on the road ahead, if you, not as unbelievers but being led by the Holy Spirit—even if you are led just a little—then the third thing happens. What is it? The timetable of a turning point that changes the world. What is that? Rome. That is the end.

1) “You must also see Rome.”
Paul came to realize this. And after the works arose, he was not proud at all, not shaken at all, and said, “You must also see Rome.” Open your eyes. At this time God aligned everything in direction for Paul.

2) “You must testify in Rome also” – God quoted Paul, who had the exact covenant.
Because of this, Paul stood in court. God spoke directly: “Paul, do not be afraid. You must testify in Rome also. Be of good courage.” God quoted Paul’s words. Why? Because Paul had God’s exact covenant.
If you hold to this covenant that you received on the night of Troas, God will quote your words, actions, and life. This is an important beginning. From the moment you hold to God’s sure covenant, God will take hold of your work. Right? You will not need to worry about your health. Remnants’ studies? You will not need to worry.

3) “You must stand before Caesar” – What the angel of the Lord said while he prayed in the hold of the ship when they met the storm.
Not only that. A world of complete crisis came. As you know, though Paul had no crime, he was going to Rome as a prisoner to stand trial. The name of that ship was Alexandrian. I mention the name to set the historical evidence. He had to sail to Rome on that ship. Paul was a man of prayer. Having evangelized much, he knew: “If we go now, we will all die in the storm. We must wait here for a while before going.” No one listened to Paul. But there was a centurion in charge, right? His name was Julius. Because he was uneasy—he had responsibility—he called the shipowner and asked, “This man says we will meet a storm; is that right?” The shipowner said, “There has never been a storm at this season.” So the centurion named Julius asked the captain, “Is it true that this ship will meet a storm?” The captain, speaking from experience, said, “Impossible.”
But Julius was a Roman officer and a very prudent man. He asked again. He asked the whole group for their opinion: “This man insists the ship will meet a storm; shall we still go?” The 276 people aboard all said, “Let us not rest here—let us go to Phoenix.” Phoenix is a good place to rest. “Let us rest a bit there and then go.” No one listened to the evangelist.
But as they went, a tempest suddenly struck. A violent storm struck suddenly. Because it struck suddenly, there was no countermeasure. As the violent storm struck, the ship began to sink. The storm was so fierce that they did not know how many days had passed. They did not know whether it was night or day. The ship began to sink. They roughly estimated it had been about fourteen days—fourteen days in the storm. All hope was gone. Others were screaming to survive, praying, throwing cargo overboard. Useless. In disaster, the shipowner’s money does not work. Right? The captain’s skill does not work. The centurion’s rank does not work. While they were in turmoil and the ship was sinking, Paul went down into the hold and began to pray. Then God appeared to Paul: “Last night an angel of the Lord stood by me and said, ‘Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar.’” Having heard this, Paul came up and comforted the people on board. At first he rebuked them a little: “Did I not tell you this would happen?” “But last night the angel of the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘Do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar.’” After this word was delivered, the storm began to subside. What happened? Paul’s going to be tried—settled. He was on the way to Rome to stand trial. What is it? The turning point that changes the world. It was connected all the way there.
As you send off this year and enter the next—just even briefly—it is fine. You must pray. How truly should you begin? What should you do when the door is blocked for you? What should you do when difficulties come? It must become the turning point of receiving the perfect guidance of the Holy Spirit.

▣ Conclusion

1. When you are sick – Rely on nothing and pray before God
To conclude—if you become sick, what should you do? Rely on nothing and truly enter before God in prayer, as Paul prayed. Paul prayed to the point that he said he did not know whether he was in the body or out of the body.

2. When you fall into crisis – Pray before God. When Israel collapsed and was scattered as wanderers, the disciples of the synagogue whom Paul had prepared were sent out.
What should you do when you fall into complete crisis? Paul did not go up on deck. Shouldn’t people go up? But what could he do if he went up? He went down into the hold of the ship and began to pray before God. After this—A.D. 70. Not long after—Israel collapsed. They were scattered throughout the world as wanderers. At that time, Paul began to send out the disciples of the synagogue he had prepared. It seems like a dreamlike story. Because God does it. But what I am telling you now is a historical fact.

3. Hold to the exact covenant.
Hold to the exact covenant. Before this year ends and before the New Year comes, hold to the exact covenant. As to which covenant you should hold, I will speak as a reference at the New Year time.
In October of ’87—October 1987—I came into Yeongdo. When I came, some of our early members were there—our deaconesses. I made one promise with them: “If our church carries out the gospel movement, God will be responsible for everything. If you and I are truly people who will carry out the gospel movement, God will bless our church.” I said that and began. Disciples are arising throughout the world.
I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that you will hold to the sure covenant completely by the leading of the Holy Spirit. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. Though it is a short time, let it be an important time. As we finish the year and enter the New Year, let us see God’s perfect covenant. Let us see the turning point in our lives. Now let us see the turning point in our church. And now work so that we can see the turning point for our posterity and for the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

From Caesarea Philippi To ROME
Lecture 3: To Rome [Leave Behind the Footprints of Your Lifelong Answer] (Romans 16:25-27)

---

Healing House (Romans 16:25)
TCK House (Romans 16:26)
Holy Mason (Romans 16:27)

---

♠Introduction: Overall theme of Lectures 7–9 – “To Rome (Romans 16 people)”

The people of Romans 16 saw this (to Rome).
They understood when Paul said, “You must also see Rome.” Now you must leave behind the footsteps of answers for your entire life. What is that? Let me explain simply.
⑦Lecture 7: Healing house (Romans 16:25) → Every church leader must build a Healing house according to the Bible. It does not matter if you do not build it quickly. Romans 16:25 says that He promised to give what was hidden for ages past.
⑧Lecture 8: TCK house (Romans 16:26) → Every church leader must build a TCK house. It is the lifelong answer.
⑨Lecture 9: Holy mason (Romans 16:27) → Every church leader must become a Holy mason. This is Romans 16:27.

♠Lecture 7: Healing house (Romans 16:25) → “5 kinds of life (daily life)” ♠

People like Lydia and Priscilla in the early church did this ministry well, but today there are no people doing this. All you need to do is help with these 5 things through life. That is why it is not just called “healing” but “Healing house.” I help them so that they can be healed, through daily life. What are the 5 kinds of life? Nothing else. It is very simple.
Before much prayer and breathing, you must know this: ① medically, it must be accurate. For example, if salespeople spoke only accurately, they would make money. But they speak as if they have a cure-all. If that were true, Asan Medical Center and Samsung Medical Center would all have to close down, wouldn’t they? Because it is a cure-all. That makes no sense. Koreans, if they hear something is good, they eat it unconditionally. Especially members of the Evangelism Movement – they are even more extreme. Their concentration is strong. I think, “That is incredible.” My doctor once told me: “A human body is not worth just 20 or 30 million won. Why do they put anything into it?” He was right. First, it must be accurate medically. According to that comes ② food, and according to that comes ③ exercise. You must help them with this. The most important exercise is the original – what God gave. Eve did not wear high heels. Take note. Just walking like that is enough. Truly. Adam and Eve held hands and had to work in the morning to eat breakfast. Because there were no refrigerators, everything spoiled. They had to work at noon to eat lunch. They had to work again before sunset to eat dinner and then sleep. This is what God gave. If you do this, real works arise. Then, in a place with clean air, ④ breathe. There, ⑤ pray.
That is how you help them. Personalize it. If they say even breathing is difficult, bring them and make them rest. If they say walking barefoot is difficult, then have them take off their shoes and walk. How good is that? The shocking truth is that there is not a single church in the entire world that helps such sick people. It is astounding. Knowing this, the 3 organizations are attacking like fire. Why do we make it so difficult? If I were a doctor, even better. Doctors must honestly confess: you only know what can be seen with your eyes or in pictures. You cannot be responsible for more than that. And many of these illnesses began long ago. They already suffered from spiritual problems. So what should we do? We must help them with this. What evangelism could be better than this? You must do it. After praying, establish a Healing house that is dignified and of a higher level. Do not do it roughly. Even unbelievers should see it and say, “That is correct. Even doctors see it and say, ‘That is right, they are doing well.’” It must be medically accurate. Then when disciples come and see it, they will say, “This is truly the gospel.” That is the kind of house you must build.

Introduction – Healing (brain science)
In the future, all churches must be healing churches. Not only churches. Any business unrelated to healing will not develop.

1. Incurable diseases
2. Mental illnesses
3. Spiritual illnesses
What kind of illnesses? Because they cannot be treated, they are incurable, mental, and spiritual illnesses, and they are full. Almost all come from the brain. Among healings, brain science is rising. Remnants must take note. The age of brain science is coming. The 3 organizations will attack. But the spiritual problem brings even more serious problems. Truly, all these illnesses come from the brain. That is why I tell them to breathe comfortably. When they breathe, the brain comes alive.

Main

1. The 7 remnants – healing the age
If you look carefully in the Bible, the 7 remnants healed the age itself. Joseph saved the 237 nations. Moses went through Egypt and the 40 years in the wilderness, proclaiming the Lord to all the surrounding nations. People like Samuel healed the entire age. Even during captivity, they healed the age of the 237 nations and the 5,000 tribes. Without this healing, the future will be difficult.

2. Peter – Acts 3:1–12
You must consider the healings of Peter and Paul. What healing did Peter do? It appears in 2 or 3 places, but the most important one is very clear. He raised the lame man at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. Everything is included in this. As this happened, the great door of evangelism began to open. It could not be stopped.

3. Paul – illnesses doctors cannot heal
And what was Paul’s characteristic? He healed all the illnesses doctors could not heal – spiritual problems and mental problems. And the person who recorded this was a doctor. Doctor Luke recorded it in detail because he was so amazed. If it had been a journalist or another person, perhaps it would have been different. But Luke was a successful physician. He was close with Theophilus and had the background to follow Paul. He recorded all of this.

♠Conclusion: 7/7/7 Imprint
So, what is the purpose of true healing? It is to imprint this. That is enough. To imprint the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost. Then even if you do not tell them to be healed, they will be healed. Such things appear. Church leaders, take this as your lifelong prayer topic and begin praying.

 

♠Lecture 8: TCK house (Romans 16:26) → “Direction” ♠

What is next? Didn’t God say this? Shouldn’t our direction align with God? “Go to all nations, to all people, to the ends of the earth.” If He said this, then at least our direction must align.

Introduction – What standard must we set?

1. Studies (237) – First, our studies, the studies of the remnants, must have the standard of 237.
2. Occupation (5,000 tribes) – Next, like Joseph, your occupation and work must have the standard of the 5,000 tribes.
3. Mission (home country) – You must now teach the life of TCKs. From the beginning, you must set this standard. In the end, you must either return to your home country or call people from your home country. In some ways, calling them is better, because you can call many. So you must teach this from the beginning. Either you go back to your home country and save it, or you call the people there. You must imprint this clearly. Nothing is more important.

Main

1. Remnants – TCKs
Simply put, all 7 remnants were TCKs. God used TCKs. So, why were the 7 remnants TCKs? If you confirm this, you will see it clearly.

2. TCKs who are here
Where must you stake your life? On the TCKs who are already here. Among them there are false ones and true ones. Of course, you must distinguish, but even so, you must imprint this (home country) clearly to them.
We once talked about this. Recently in the provinces, the age of country houses ended, so people put all their country houses up for sale. Turn them into Healing houses. If it does not work, we will try once as a model at headquarters. Works will arise. Then train the TCKs there. Do not train TCKs in places that are too good. Why? Because they must go to their home countries and do ministry. You must train them in similar places. For example, in Busan, two people came as missionaries. But once they came to Busan, they lost their minds. Every night they went out. They loved it so much. Wherever they went, there was a supermarket. They loved instant ramen so much that they cooked and ate it every day. They wandered around. Finally, they ran away. The two of them escaped. Because they escaped, it was all reported to immigration. And because of COVID-19 issues with Japanese people, they were told to hand them back, but they refused. The World Evangelization Evangelism Association was told that two people had run away. That is true. Such things happen. You must imprint their mission from the beginning. So you must train them firmly. TCKs are everything.

3. TCKs to be invited
And then, what is more important? As I said earlier, try this in your churches this year. The TCKs you invite. This is more important. They already know and come. They are different from those you meet in Korea. Amazingly, perhaps because God is working, they are all prepared. They are prepared to an astonishing degree. They understand the Korean language very well. I was amazed. They speak Korean. They receive the gospel so well. They said after hearing the message, “This is the best.” I wondered, “Did they really understand?” Such people are so good. Isn’t that right? If they are truly in the evangelism field, when they hear the pastors’ sermons, they are all guided. Isn’t that so? If they will not evangelize, there is no use in listening. Why would they listen if they will not evangelize? If they will not evangelize, why live so stubbornly? Just live moderately, isn’t that so? Long ago, Pastor Park Ji-On left a famous saying. Someone asked, “Pastor, are you healthy?” He replied simply, “If there is no evangelism left to do, then I must go!” That is right. If there is evangelism left, we stay. If not, then we go.

♠Conclusion: 7/7/7 Root
So, go one step further. Root them completely before sending them. Once rooted, fruit will come. The more deeply rooted, the more fruit. That is right. So life and direction must align with God. Doing well or not is secondary.

 

♠Lecture 9: Holy mason (Romans 16:27) → “Monument” ♠

When God first called us, He promised five blessings. What are they? ① Covenant blessing, ② Fundamental blessing, ③ Representative blessing, ④ Monumental blessing, ⑤ Irresistible blessing. Among these, what we must know most is the monument. We must leave behind the footsteps of the gospel we have walked. The next generation must see them and follow.

Introduction: Romans 16:1–2 (protector) / Romans 16:3–4 (coworker) / Romans 16:23 (host)
So, to leave behind such footsteps, Phoebe staked her life. She carried the great burden of the letter to the Romans. Paul called her a protector. Normally a man protects a woman, but here a woman protected a man. Amazing. Perhaps she looked like Jang Mi-Ran (a famous weightlifter). Paul described her like this. Not only that, he called Priscilla and Aquila coworkers who risked their necks. This is truly a monumental blessing. And here also is Gaius, who was the host not only of me but of the whole church. Amazing.

Main – Monumental footsteps
So now, as you pray, leave behind monumental footsteps in the church. I often say this: greater works will continue to arise. For example, an elder’s daughter died in an accident and went to heaven. They received compensation money. They thought carefully about how to use it. I advised them: use it for something eternal. So with their daughter’s name, they built a kindergarten in Vanuatu. It became popular 500%. Later, Elder So-Ga built a middle school there with his name. How good is that? Others saw and learned. Some learn bad things, but others learn good things. This must be done. An old saying goes: when a person dies, he leaves behind a name. Isn’t that so? What else remains but a name? Your name must be in missions. Your name must be in what you dedicated in the church.

Recently, I said something for the first time. Normally I do not interfere. But I told Pastor Hwang and the elders. A deaconess passed away and gave her property for missions. I told them, “Build a TCK house with her name. Then when TCKs come and go, they will see it, pray, and learn.” In some way, every church leader must do this. In history, such things remain – Pastor Han Kyung-Jik Memorial Hall, Pastor Ok Han-Hum Memorial Hall. In advanced countries, cities and streets are named after people. Kim Dae-Jung Center, for example. How good is that? In the same way, build it in your churches. Pray about it.

1. Lifelong answers
What did David do? When he built and established, he received lifelong prayer and answers.

1) Moses – Moses did this. With lifelong prayer and answers, he carried out the Tabernacle movement.
2) David – From the moment he met Samuel, David prayed his whole life. The temple…
3) Romans 16 people – And now, the people of Romans 16. They are true models. They prayed for their entire lives. You must become such Holy masons.

2. Next generation
And most importantly, our next generation will see this. They must see and follow. What else should they see? They must see that evangelism and missions are like this. You must show them simply and clearly.

3. Christian leaders of the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes
More importantly, what kind of monuments do we need? Monuments for the Christian leaders of the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. Should we go into politics or other fields? No. We must raise Christian leaders who know the gospel correctly and proclaim it. We must surely build such monuments. It is not difficult. Church leaders, when you are about to die, say, “I do not need anything else. Please use my offering to build a memorial. Build a room in the church. Build a small house inside the church where the next generation, TCKs, and people of prayer can come and see.”

♠Conclusion: 7/7/7 Nature
This is what we must make. Imprint, root, and nature. Answers come as you are imprinted. Fruit comes as deeply as you are rooted. Your future and destiny change as much as it becomes your nature. This is what we must do.
Because you already know the messages well, I do not need to make long speeches. I summarized only the core. Next time, we will outline the Evangelism Movement from the Evangelism House to the 5,000 tribes, and then go deeper. Let us pray.

Prayer. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the solution to all problems, the infinite love of God, and the powerful work of the Holy Spirit be always with all disciples who will save the world, from now to eternity. Amen.

From Caesarea Philippi To ROME
Lecture 2: On the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:1-14)

---

One Person – the Church (Acts 1:1-14)
One Church – the Region (Acts 2:1-47)
One Team – the World (Romans 16:1-27)

---

Introduction: Overall theme of Lectures 4–6 – “At Mt Olive (not going, but making them come)”
This is what happened “at Mt Olive.”

④Lecture 4: One person – Church (Acts 1:1–14) → Even with one person, the church is revived.
⑤Lecture 5: One church – Region (Acts 2:1–47) → If there is only one church that holds onto this covenant, the region will surely be revived.
⑥Lecture 6: One team – World (Romans 16:1–27) → If there is only one team with this covenant, the world will surely be revived.
Let me briefly introduce the Bible passages.
These are the people who had this (Acts 1:1–14). With this, they came down and received this answer (Acts 2:1–47). Even if there is only one team as in Romans 16, the world will be revived.
Background (ability) – Here you must find one answer that connects with you. In fact, this background and ability are better off not having. Only then can you do this (Acts 1:1–14). Even if you have them, like Paul, you must say they are unnecessary. Those who think they need this (background–ability) will find it difficult. Why? Because it must be this (Acts 1:1–14). So if you look carefully, there is a characteristic among church leaders who could not continue long in ministry. They get caught here (background–ability). Even if they do not get caught by it, because they are within this (background–ability), limitations come. When we commonly say “old person, young person,” this does not mean physical age. Even if aged, if they are saving many people and are in that place, who can hinder them? To be “old” includes age, but it means having become too much a person of the past. You must take note. The standard is not that you must not have background. Paul said it was totally unnecessary. That means he understood. He understood though he was not at the scene. Some were at the scene but did not understand.

Another part we have is poverty. Those who are not trapped in poverty, if they receive this answer, then that pastor will surely save a region. Those who think “I have money,” those who grew up like that, have never saved a region. Also, in fact we have no ability, don’t we? That is better. Why? Because we are trying to do the real thing. If you keep thinking you have ability, then limitations come. This is not just talk. It is about whether the answer has come or not. It is about whether you truly enjoy it or not. More important is whether this person goes to the end or not. In some cases, they cannot go to the end. Even if they go together, in the church they will just stay like dead people. Why? Because limitations come in this (background–ability)…

♠Lecture 4: One person – Church (Acts 1:1–14) → Background (ability) X ♠
Even if there is only one person with this answer, the church will surely be revived.
Introduction – 3 years / 40 days / 10 days / Lord’s Day / daily / set times / 24, 25, eternity
So the introduction must be clear, right? For 3 years, Jesus spoke about what to discard. If you do not discard them, you cannot. Then for 40 days He explained about the kingdom of the throne. They are completely contrasting. For 10 days they prayed earnestly and received the filling of the Holy Spirit. From there they came alive by devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching – this is the Lord’s Day. As this came alive, when the Lord’s Day is revived, it is not just simply living. Because the Word is fulfilled, it became “daily in the temple, daily in the homes.” Then people with whom the covenant connects are joined. From this point, prayer that begins together is the set time prayer. Once this happens, whether you pray alone or together, it no longer matters – you change like this. This is the absolute introduction. If you are within this, you need not worry about anything else. In fact, what Jesus spoke about at Mt Olive regarding missions, of course it is also going, but it is to make them come. For example, if you have no ability to make them come, even if you go, it is useless. Isn’t that so? You must have something. That is Lecture 4.

Main
1. My platform (7 bartizans) – 24 hours
Once this happens, the first thing that arises is that God builds my platform. Once a platform is built, it is the same in business. People come to those who have a platform, don’t they? Long ago in the international market, there was a pork shop. Only one shop was packed with people. At that time its name was Sansugapsan, and all people in Busan knew Sansugapsan. If you went there, there was no seat. But right next door, another pork shop was there. Amazingly, not a single person was there. The owner sat frowning and fanning himself. It looked like no one would go there. You must make people come. That is the platform.

2. My watchman’s bartizan (7 journeys) – 25 hours
Then I stand as a watchman’s bartizan that shines the light to save many people. Naturally, then an antenna that communicates with the world and with God is raised. This is called the 7 bartizans. This is called 24. This journey is difficult – you go through the 7 journeys. So you go with the power of 25.

3. My antenna (7 guideposts) – Eternity
Here the absolute guidepost, the absolute bartizan, is raised. It will be built. This is called eternity. If only one person arises… So, if there are any church leaders here, there is nothing else to say. If you receive the answer, that is enough. If even one church leader properly receives the answer, both the church and the next generation are revived. If one church leader receives the answer, the pastor’s ministry becomes very easy. For example, if there is only one person like Gaius, world evangelization is possible. Even Priscilla and Aquila, just the two of them following, did everything. Then missions becomes easy. You don’t even have to worry. You just proclaim the gospel. This is what moved the early church.

Conclusion: The bartizan of prayer (watchman)
Then what conclusion comes? I now always build the bartizan of prayer and become a watchman. This conclusion comes.

♠Lecture 5: One church – Region (Acts 2:1–47) → Poverty (money) resolved ♠
If even one church holds onto this covenant, the region is revived.
Introduction – 3 concentrations / 3 settings / 3 answers
This is the introduction here. If you do this, it is enough. With 3 concentrations, this is built. Especially editing, planning, and designing are done. Then the 3 answers come. Overall, you must surely receive and deliver exactly what is in the Bible. I just used these words for easier explanation, but it is exactly what is in the Bible. During the 3 years of public ministry, Jesus spoke about what to discard and what to change. But the Jews and the medieval church held onto everything they were told to discard. Even if other things were okay, world evangelization could not happen. What arose were only wars. Because they gained power, they fought with it. Was it the Pope, was it the Emperor – they fought like that. Such ridiculous things happened, bringing huge problems into history.

Main – So what must you surely know when this happens?
1. Important answers
What is the most important answer to enjoy in the church? This arises right away.

1) Passover
2) Pentecost
3) Feast of Ingathering
Pentecost is based on Passover, right? Pentecost is also based on the Feast of Ingathering. So in a sense, Passover and the Feast of Ingathering are guaranteed. What we now enjoy is Pentecost. On the day of Pentecost, when it came, the work of the Holy Spirit took place…

2. World system (Acts 2:9–11)
At this point, an important world system is built. You must not lose this. This is Acts 2:9–11. In some sense, all nations were already there.

3. Worship (Acts 2:17–18, 42)
Then in worship, they enjoyed very important answers. You must not lose this in worship. This is Acts 2:17–18, right? Dreams, visions, prophecy, and speaking of the future. And verse 42 – they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching. Worship was revived. When a pastor goes to preach, if he is not in the best spiritual condition, then nothing else matters. When we preach, isn’t it so? Of course it would be good if we always had assurance that this is God’s will, that I must deliver this, but sometimes it is exactly like that. That is right. Preparing a sermon means preparing that. Of course interpreting words, theological explanation, all are important. But the most important is having the assurance that God wants to deliver this. Then the congregation must come and hear God’s voice in the sermon. All problems start from not achieving that. That is certain. If you go 10 years like that, what happens? If you live your entire life of faith like that, what happens? It becomes ridiculous.

4. Economy of light (Acts 2:43–45) – Offering
The fourth is important. Congregants must surely remember. The economy of light – this is offering. You may not realize it, but this is the economy of light. The offerings you give are used for evangelism and missions. This is the economy of light.
I always say this. A few people gathered money. Our village is not big. We built a small church. No one else received the gospel. Only my family received the gospel. From there, I went as a missionary to that country. Such tremendous things happen. When giving offering, you must never just give. It is the economy of light. It must always be prepared with prayer. Those who do not, they are poor. No choice. You can confirm for yourselves. “I do not have prayer for offering.” It is not about giving much or little, right? Nor is it about my name. Some people prepare even if they give anonymously. For me, I almost always give anonymously. Before God, I must be prepared in prayer. That is the economy of light. From that day until now, I have never suffered financial difficulty. From the very beginning until now, so many works arose, but because of people drooling, I just spent time wiping drool. They drooled endlessly. That is all I did for 30 years – wipe drool. All those people left. You must know what the economy of light is. The offering of church members – is there any economy of light greater than that? Right?

5. Worship and 6 days (Acts 2:46–47)
Finally, worship and the 6 days. Are the 6 days different days? They are all the Lord’s Day. This is Acts 2:46–47. Daily in the temple, daily in the homes…

Conclusion: Bartizan of the Word
So this conclusion comes. Build the bartizan of the Word. Build in me the bartizan of prayer, and build in me the bartizan of the Word.

♠Lecture 6: One team – World (Romans 16:1–27) → Inability resolved ♠
In this way, a team is formed among church leaders who have realized. From then, the works begin.
Introduction – From then, how does it begin?

1. Filled with faith – Filled with faith, but if you place conditions, nothing happens. So, filled with faith…
2. Filled with the Holy Spirit – If this condition is met, that is enough. Filled with the Holy Spirit…
3. Filled with wisdom – Only what comes from here can accomplish world evangelization. Filled with wisdom. These were the people chosen.

Main – So if only one team arises, that is enough. What did these people do?
1. The duty that blocks the age of disasters (Acts 6:1–7)
First, they received the duty that blocks the age of disasters. That is enough. The duty you received is to block the age of disasters. Serving God and giving glory – that is what we say among ourselves, but outwardly speaking, it is to block the age of disasters. That is how it happened. Evangelism, inwardly, is the work of salvation. Outwardly, it is blocking the disasters of darkness.

2. The beginning that changed the world (Acts 7:1–60)
This is the beginning that changed the world – the death of Stephen. He changed the world. Stephen did not die. Stephen fell asleep. Because of Stephen, the world changed. Just once was enough. If one team arises, it is enough.

3. The beginning that changed history
Finally, the beginning that changed church history and history occurred. Through one team, what happened?

1) Acts 8:4–8
A work arose in Samaria. In Samaria – this is very historical.
2) Acts 8:26–40
How could such a case be? The Ethiopian eunuch – it was not that he went. That man came. Such a meeting happened.

4. Choice of crisis
It did not end there. Church leaders must surely remember. They chose crises that changed the world. There are about three of them. What are they?

1) Acts 11:19
Acts 11:19. Truly they chose crisis.
2) Acts 12:1–25
Acts 12:1–25. You know what happened that night.

5. Pioneers of missions (Acts 13:1–5)
Finally, the actual pioneers of missions. Acts 13:1–5. The fact that church leaders were included there, the fact that Paul always established church leaders first wherever he went, and the fact that he always went into the synagogue…

Conclusion: Romans 16:25–27
Then this is the conclusion for these people. What had been hidden for ages past is revealed. What will be for all eternity is shown. This is the answer.
So it is okay if you have no ability. That ability is unnecessary. Because we cannot accomplish this (Acts 1:1–14), we do it with this ability (the content of the lecture). Then Satan kneels before your feet. That content is in Romans 16. So one person, one church, one team is enough. Church leaders must be resolved for this. I, one person – such things (background/ability/poverty/inability) are unnecessary. Because I will surely receive answers, money is unnecessary. If such a person arises, revival happens. The witnesses were in fact the people of Romans 16, weren’t they? So the churches they built were the Jerusalem church and the Antioch church. Here, mainly the history began in Antioch.
From Caesarea Philippi to Rome. Let us take a short break. Today we looked at the whole picture. Next time, we will look in detail. Soon we will look at the path to Rome. Let’s take a 10-minute break.

Possessing the Best (Matthew 16:20)

Introduction: (Premise theme of (1–3 lessons))– “At Caesarea Philippi”

Today, I will look at the whole outline from “Caesarea Philippi to Rome.” What is the important thing that began here (Caesarea Philippi)? That the Christ came as King—that is important. That is Matthew. Conversely, that He came as a servant—that is Mark. That the Christ is God—that is John. That the Christ put on human flesh and came as the Son of Man—that is Luke. Seen this way, we must regard it as the appearance of the King of kings. Everything is decided here.

① Lesson 1:
Lesson 1 is the message prior to Caesarea Philippi. It presented the way to block the world’s disasters completely. From then on, globalization begins. The appearance of the Christ becomes an enormous message. This part (Lesson 1) is “before.” These parts are very important—the things prior to Caesarea Philippi.

② Lesson 2: Changing destiny—Evangelism (Matthew 16:16) → “What to find”
And what answer was given at Caesarea Philippi? It is to change destiny completely. So the most important message before that is Matthew 6:33. The greatest message at Caesarea Philippi was Matthew 16:16: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God…”

③ Lesson 3: Possessing the highest thing—No other things (Matthew 16:20) → “What is urgent”
There is what comes after that. What comes after is that He made us possess the highest thing. That is Matthew 16:20: “Do not tell anyone yet,” because something tremendous still remains.

Here your church, your members, everything is decided. Therefore those who did not give an answer here were not invited to Mt Olive. They all fell away. We will look at the Mt Olive message in the second session. Seen this way, this is beyond “important.” Here (before) He spoke of what must be changed. At Caesarea Philippi He spoke of what must absolutely be found. And in fact here (after), “Do not tell” does not mean we must not proclaim; it is to attempt what is urgent.

Therefore, regarding these three, the Christ alone must be seen; if anything else is seen, disasters cannot be blocked. This is where problems come. Only when the Christ is seen can destiny change. Otherwise it will never change. Evangelism becomes easy like this. And the life of faith becomes easy. If my destiny has not changed, the life of faith is not easy. The life of faith itself is hard. And evangelism will be the hardest thing. When this destiny is overturned, evangelism becomes the easiest of all—does it not? Then you must let your members, who pray with their lives, know this. At this level, other things are not needed. The problem is that other things are needed. Now you are the remaining ones, truly evangelists, so you must truly begin. Formerly He taught the crowds; now He speaks to disciples. Crowds need festivals. You are not at that stage now. Crowds need food. So He performed the miracle of the five loaves and two fish. The crowds need urgent healings. But none of those people were there when Jesus bore the cross. So after the Christ bore the cross, the disciples who survived gathered at Mt Olive. That, in fact, is the main message.

Though this is the introduction, it is extremely important. So whether your church will do world evangelization or not cannot be if you do not know what to change, what to find, and what is urgent. In a sense, in the early days when we said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” that phrase exploded, but in one respect, though it is a strong message, there is too much to do. Many were shocked and came, then quit—because they did not change, and since they did not change, the disaster did not depart. As evidence, the church does not go well. What can we do? The individual suffers. You must truly hold to a certain, sure covenant for this (disaster) to collapse. When this collapses, the world opens. Because this disaster is a global system. This (destiny) must change for evangelism to take place. And when I possess the highest thing, I do not need other things.

♠ Lesson 1: The way to block disaster—The world (Matthew 6:33) → “What to change” ♠

Here you must tell them a few things that need to be changed.

Introduction—You know these well.
1) True blessing
What is true blessing? “You will be comforted,” and many such things come out. But the most important is “the kingdom of heaven is your inheritance”—that is chapter 5.

2) True prayer
In chapter 6, what is true prayer? You must make your members truly know this. Are we saying you must not pray for other things? No. Other things also exist in general religions. For example, if having much seems like blessing, then one would not need to come to church to have much.

3) True church
Here, the answer for the true church is found within this. In the end, Jesus said there will be churches that collapse and churches that do not. Later, when the wind blows and the rain falls, the church built on sand will all collapse, but the church built on the rock will not collapse—Jesus spoke such meaningful words, and it turned out exactly like that. In the end, those who understood this word did world evangelization. This message is the proclamation of the King.

Main—World disaster
The world’s disaster collapses before the covenant you hold. What covenant? Here all of Scripture is restored.

1. Genesis 37:1–11, Joseph
Joseph. Others did not hold the covenant being handed down, but Joseph did. In fact, because of Joseph, world disaster began to collapse. The gospel is this great. The gospel is enormous, yet there are too many who live a life of faith without even tasting it.

Have we not all come this far? In my case, doing the evangelism movement, there was nothing visible to my eyes, and I did not even know what had been done. Those associate pastors who were with me—Pastor Lee Sung-Hoon and Pastor Kim—they know it all, right? Nothing was visible—only the gospel was spoken—yet such disciples arose among us. Where is the key? World disaster is now collapsing because of you. Do you not sense it? This year is the beginning, and next year it will be more. Disciples in completely different nations have begun to arise. What blessing could be greater than this? You likely just did what was naturally to be done here and there. But world disaster collapsed.

2. Exodus 2:1–10, Moses
With this one covenant, what is in Scripture has been restored as is. When one person, Moses of the tribe of Levi—who knew the blood sacrifice—appears, the whole world is changed. This is absolutely not our strength. This must not be far from you; it must be near. This must not be merely a story of the past; it must be a present story. By the covenant of you, one person, all collapses. This (disaster) must collapse for this (destiny change) to happen. The destinies of the saints must be overturned. You must do this. Because this is not changed, they remain stuck.

3. 1 Samuel 7:1–15, Samuel
When one person arose—though fourteen judges had appeared—they could not truly overcome the Philistines. It says that while Samuel lived, the Philistines could not invade. What is this? He bound the Philistine disaster. This is covenant, gospel, and prayer.

Perhaps you do not yet feel it, but because of you, one person, disaster is bound in every place you go. You must believe this. Your members must have this much pride as evangelists and disciples. Yes—this must be assured. Why? Because Satan keeps prodding while alive; Satan has nothing to do to you but to confuse you—right? He knows he cannot overcome you, so he confuses you, makes you not know this standard. Therefore you must have assurance. How assured was Paul? “Whether I live or die, it does not matter.” Once it reaches this point, darkness cannot but be broken.

4. 1 Chronicles 29:10–14, David
This speaks of what was before. Around you a thousand bartizans will be set up, and the sanctuary will be completed. You must receive this blessing also. All our Darakbang churches overseas must receive the blessing of sanctuary construction. David is the one who accomplished this.

Here is something important. When you begin a pioneering work or missions, a lifelong prayer must begin. Did I not tell this previously? Elder Kim Kwang-Il called me to take some books, and when I went to his house, there were many theological books. Those are in the library (RTS) now. Among the books I submitted to the library, when you open the cover, there are cut marks—that’s all Elder Kim Kwang-Il’s. Suddenly, when President Chun Doo-Hwan began, they arrested Kim Kwang-Il. He was in his office, and soldiers came and took him. Back then, who was the head of the security command? That person. He is from Hapcheon. Kim Kwang-Il is also from Hapcheon. Not only that, the head of the security command and Kim Kwang-Il were friends. Since they were friends, he got out well, but he had been taken. His wife burned all the materials, and I had this feeling they might come to my house. So I removed all the tags marked “Kim Kwang-Il.” Mainly big dictionaries, good ones. As he handed them to me, he said: “I am so disgusted with the world that I decided to quit it all and do evangelism, to go to seminary.” But now he realized, “No, it’s right for me to go this path now.” So he gave me all the books. And when I went to receive the books, there was a black notebook. Showing it to me, he asked whether there were any who were doing church planting. I said there were many. “Then, reverend, please take care of it.” He handed me an envelope, to deliver it. There were many places to give—there were many pioneers. Then I suddenly thought, “Ah!” I looked at the notebook. Though there was no sanctuary construction going on, he had recorded offerings for sanctuary construction. Helping pioneering churches and missionaries—that goes without saying—but he was accumulating offerings for pioneering church construction. “What is this?” He must have put it in a bank. He recorded it all. I asked, “Which church’s construction is this?” He answered, “Our church’s construction, of course.” I said, “Our church isn’t building right now,” though everything looked fine. Then he said, “We must build someday. When that time comes, will it work to say we have money or we don’t? I’m collecting now.” I learned much from that man—much about how to live. David prayed for a lifetime. That is the sanctuary. You must make your members know what truly blocks disaster. Here Jesus gave the answer: “What you are thinking of as blessing—that is not blessing. That is not prayer. Prayer is like this.” The answer was given clearly. It must strike the members’ hearts: “Yes, I am holding nonsense and suffering!”

5. 2 Kings 6:8–23, Elisha
Look at this—what else is this? The work of blocking all disasters occurred. If you block Aram alone, you block all. At each time, all the answers that came forth were given.

6. Isaiah 62:6–12
At last, it is not Babylon. It is to block the world’s disaster. Right? “Raise a banner for all peoples; build up the highway; I have set watchmen over you; give the LORD no rest”—such covenants. It is tremendous. We must restore completely.

7. Luke 23:28, John 21:15–18
“Weep for your children for the future”—it is a word containing an immense future. This Christ—Jesus—came to Peter and, without saying anything else, told him to feed the lambs, asking, “Do you love Me?” When he said yes, He said, “Feed My lambs.”

Conclusion: The world church’s disaster♠

So what conclusion do we now come to? I think this is your final commission—you must block the world church’s disaster. Churches are closing. It is shameful. Without the gospel and with no spiritual power, they just divide and fight. They are in conflict. You must have no time for conflict. What are you conflicting about? Why divide over people’s words in the church? You must be assured that you are the protagonists who block the church’s disaster and the world’s disaster.

Regarding this, Martyn Lloyd-Jones and William Barclay looked at these three (the introduction) and called Matthew 5–7—the Sermon on the Mount—what? Do you know how they expressed it? “The proclamation of the King.” When I saw that phrase, I thought, “Yes—this is the tremendous message of the proclamation by the King of the world.” It is the work of blocking all disasters that have been in history until now by the gospel alone. Some may think otherwise, but that must be left to God. The future will speak. There were those who thought otherwise—the Jews. Right? They said no. When Jesus spoke these words, they said, “What is He saying?” History repeats the same way.

♠ Lesson 2: Changing destiny—Evangelism (Matthew 16:16) → “What to find” ♠

Now, we must tell what is important. Finally, when the time came, Jesus asked at Caesarea Philippi. He spoke of what must be found—of great importance.

Introduction—A few things appear here.
1) Philanthropy—They say He is like Jeremiah. Philanthropy is not bad—but it is not the essence of the gospel, right?
2) Legalism—They say He is like the prophets. Legalism is not bad—but it is not the gospel. The Law is the Word of God, but legalism is not the essence.
3) Mysticism—They say He is like Elijah. Mysticism—God’s grace is mysterious, but it is not mysticism. Mysticism is not the essence of the gospel. It is to express and emphasize the spiritual in the flesh.
4) Ascetic poverty—John the Baptist. Ascetic poverty is not bad—but it is not the essence of the gospel.

Because they keep teaching what is not the essence of the gospel and keep doing what is not the essence, the destiny of the entire world does not get overturned. If you hold to something else, destiny does not change. This is an enormous message. In the place named after Caesar and now Philip—Caesarea Philippi—Jesus asked.

Main—So now, if we look at our main points here: we must remember these.

1. Those who could not change destiny
If not the Christ, destiny does not change. Those who could not change destiny…

1) Great powers
The great powers, who have been the main agents of disaster until now—the Bible records this remarkably. World disasters all began from the great powers. These nations all fell, unable to change destiny. The only thing they did was war.

2) Backward nations
The 5,000 tribes—the backward nations—enslaved to this—were miserable. From the past until now, ceaselessly—some larger, some smaller—but ceaselessly they took the people of backward nations away.

3) Israel
The problem is Israel in relation to this. They could not change it. Unable to change destiny, they continually suffered.

2. Only
We change destiny by only one thing. What is it?

1) Genesis 3:15
“The seed of the woman will crush the serpent’s head”—this has been fulfilled. “You are the Christ”—this means, “You are the One who crushes the authority of Satan, the Son of the living God!”

2) Genesis 6:14
If you come into the ark, you live. There is no condition; coming in is the condition. “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”—that covenant has been fulfilled.

3) Exodus 3:18
“On the day you give the blood sacrifice, you will be set free.” “You are precisely that protagonist, the Son of the living God!”

4) Isaiah 7:14
Again they became captives: “A virgin will conceive and bear a son, and His name will be called Immanuel.” “You are precisely that One, the Son of the living God!”—enormous.

5) Matthew 16:16
Peter made that confession. Jesus said, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood”—how could flesh and blood reveal it?—“but by My Father in heaven. You are Peter, and upon this rock I Myself will build My church”—it is stated thus in the original—“I Myself will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome you. I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” Enormous message.

3. Paul (Romans 1:16–17)
Paul held to this. So in Romans 1:16–17 he said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel”—though all persecute me, I am not ashamed; though they slander and try to kill me, I am not ashamed—“for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then also to the Greek. The righteous will live by faith…”

1) Galatians 2:20
To what stage must we come? If it becomes like this, you win. Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ… and Christ lives in me…”

2) 2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore I have become a new creation—indeed.

3) Philippians 3:1–21
And in Philippians 3 he throws an enormous message. Until now I had so many good conditions, but I regard them shamefully—as refuse; more importantly, I regard them as harmful. The knowledge of Christ is so immense, but I did not know because of this. Therefore he spoke a message completely different from ours. We say we did much, but we did nothing; we go to grasp only what is in Christ’s hand; we need nothing of the earth; the prize of the upward call; our citizenship is in heaven; the Name who subjects all things—Paul went this far.

Conclusion: The destiny of me, my house, and the church♠

Thus the destiny of me, the church, and my work has been overturned. It will surely be so. My destiny is overturned. It truly happened for me—it changed. As for our household of former idols, God overturned it completely. After meeting you, though it impacts the world church, churches will be entirely changed. This is the blessing you must surely have. Do not remain stuck in the past; change destiny.

♠ Lesson 3: Possessing the highest thing—No other things (Matthew 16:20) → “What is urgent” ♠

Introduction—Matthew 17:1–9; Matthew 18:1–10; John 21:15–18
We must possess the highest thing—and now, “Tell no one.” Why? We must go up the Mount of Transfiguration. Only the Christ remains—not Moses, not Elijah—only the Christ. Why? Moses also believed the Christ and was saved. Elijah also believed the Christ and was saved. And He took a child into His arms and blessed him. It is highly meaningful. He even spoke these words: He said there are angels assigned to the children. Jesus said there are angels assigned to your children, to the remnants. And as mentioned earlier—what is it? “Feed My lambs.” Of course, new believers are included. “Tend My lambs”—He gave such a message.

Main—Me, what is mine, and my field
And now, very importantly, three things come out here. While we possess the highest thing that changes us completely, it comes out like this: me whom God made; what is mine; my field.

1. Matthew 28:1–20 → Authority + Always with us
What is the first? A tremendous event took place—Matthew 28:1–20. Nobody believed. Remarkably, all ran away, and when they ascended the mountain, there were only women. This is exactly the situation. Ironically, though they believed, somehow the soldiers were guarding. Here, the work took place. What must we restore here? Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me… and surely I am with you always.” We must enjoy this. He spoke it.

2. Mark 16:15–20 → The Name + the throne together
Here the most important thing—another step further—“In My Name cast out demons; lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” It is also expressed thus: “The Lord who is seated at the throne worked with them.”

3. Luke 24:13–35 → The secret of ‘with’
More important is the third—Luke 24:13–35. What is it? The disciples going to Emmaus. He explained the way the Lord is with us. He explained the secret of “with” now. Right? He had resurrected and was with them, yet the disciples did not know. They were discouraged. Even as Jesus spoke, they were discouraged—though Jesus was with them, they did not know and were discouraged. Then Jesus spoke the Word, and through the Word they realized. This is our present image. This is our current situation. We do not know the Lord who has resurrected and is exactly with us in spirit.

Conclusion: The Lord of the resurrection (the Name)♠

Thus this conclusion comes: Enjoy the Lord of the resurrection now. How do we enjoy Him? He spoke even that: “Ask in My Name; use the authority in My Name,” right? “Drive out darkness in My Name. Until now you have not asked in My Name; from now on, ask in My Name. Until now you offered beasts; here, ask in My Name, and you will receive.” It is an enormous proof. When you pray toward the darkness in the Name of Jesus Christ, it is broken. When is it broken? Check it. It must be broken. May all unbelief that shakes your church be bound in the Name of Jesus—it is to be so. See when the healing comes. This does not happen by our righteousness—by the Name of Christ—therefore you will be completely victorious.

In every age, misunderstanding arises. In the early church age, the Jews holding the Bible were mistaken. Where is the key? They do not say it, but what becomes the key is that the gospel does not please the heart. But because the gospel is prophesied in the Scripture, they cannot reject it; since the Christ was promised to come, they cannot reject that covenant. They rejected Jesus. In their minds all the commandments, all the promises, all the statutes must be kept—that is the Jew. Where did that thought go? Into the medieval church. The medieval church was the same: “Salvation depends on how much good you do”—is that not the doctrine of the medieval church? Is that right? “You are saved according to how many merits you accumulate.” It helps to catch people—to catch rats—but that does not save, nor does it remove disaster. It is the medieval church that spread disaster throughout the world. Especially Roman Catholicism—they need to realize this, yet even now\… Why do they exalt Mary? I still do not understand. “Mary is higher.” Even now—I cannot understand. What happened to their IQ? I do not understand. It is like bowing to the bus while not greeting the mother who gets off the bus. What is important—the bus? It is enough that the mother has gotten off. I cannot understand. Therefore, as I went around the world doing the evangelism movement with us, I saw the same everywhere, and personally I see that the gospel has never been testified—right? Commonly, I went to the Russian Museum, the Louvre—everywhere. Now I do not go because there is nothing to see, but at first I went everywhere. How can it be so the same? It was not arranged. How great is the power of Satan’s authority? They did not confer, yet everywhere they crush the Christ and exalt Mary. In every museum—so are the works. At this level, the gospel has never been testified. Therefore world disaster cannot but come. Especially in places mainly entered by Catholicism—Latin America—they have all collapsed. Strangely, people’s mental state is not alert. It has become strange. Disaster and darkness are this fearful. It is extremely important.

The members must have this (lecture content) confirmed. If this (lecture content) does not happen, in the end it is not so; later you will see it is not so. The disaster does not leave; my life does not change; destiny does not change. Though He gave us this immense authority and promised to be with us by this, it has nothing to do with me. You must have assurance to save those who are dying. Satan knows whether you have assurance or not. Right? Satan knows and flees when you appear. If you have no assurance and are shaken, why would he flee? Right? If—though this would not happen—a policeman has taken much bribe money from a thief, the thief does not fear the policeman. Right? He has something to give—he never fears him. Though the identity is a policeman, he is not scary. Back in our village long ago, when an inspection was coming, the police would inform beforehand: “An inspection will come, so prepare,” gathering those who did illegal things and having them bribe the police. That happened in the old days—now it does not, but long ago. Such a policeman, having eaten much money, cannot correct people’s evil. More importantly, the boss does not fear the police at all. Satan knows whether you have assurance or not. Therefore when healing patients, you must tell them clearly: If you have a terminal disease, will Satan leave you alone? Right? But God also will not leave you—therefore we pray; therefore we attach ourselves and wage spiritual battle. Those demon-possessed know plainly. Therefore you will later come to know that the authority you possess is immense. But even now it is certain.

In Lessons 2–3 we will look at the important things. From today, I bless you in the Name of Jesus Christ to have authoritative prayer all day long. I will pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, let all darkness be bound today as well. Let all disasters be bound. Let the authority of hell be bound. In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
