Call to Prayer – Billy Graham

Ladies and gentlemen, if you are listening to this message right now, it is not by accident. It is not by

coincidence. It is because God himself has appointed this very moment in your

life to speak directly to your heart. There are things happening in your life that no one sees. There are forces

working behind the curtain of your reality, behind the smile you wear, behind the pain you hide, behind the

confusion you wrestle with every night. You may not be able to put your finger on it, but deep down you know something

is fighting you. Something invisible is pulling at your progress. Something dark

is trying to stop your destiny. Let me tell you plainly, there is an evil plan

against your life. But there’s also a holy power greater than every wicked scheme. And today, we’re going to

unleash that power through prayer. I’m not here to tickle your ears with sweet words. I’m here to tell you the truth.

We are in a spiritual war. A war that doesn’t play fair. A war where the enemy

doesn’t come to scare you. He comes to kill, to steal, and to

destroy. He uses people. He uses circumstances. He uses doubt. He uses

fear. He uses betrayal. But the word of God declares in Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon

that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment, thou

shalt condemn.” That is not a wish. That is not a hopeful thought. That is a promise

sealed by the living God. And when God makes a promise, you can stand on it

like a rock in the middle of the storm. That evil plan against your life was written in hell, but heaven has already

declared your victory. The enemy tried to use your childhood to ruin you. He

tried to use abuse, neglect, loneliness, and fear to break you. He thought if he could wound you early, you would never

rise up to your purpose. But here you are still standing, that is proof that

God has preserved you. That is evidence that the plan of the devil has already

begun to fail. And if God has kept you this far, then he is not finished with you yet. I need you to understand

something deep, something urgent, something eternal. There are prayers you pray that move mountains, but there are

also prayers you pray that make demons flee. There are prayers that open doors,

but there are also prayers that shut the mouth of lions. There are prayers that invite

peace, but there are also prayers that strike down every curse that’s been

spoken over your life. And today, we are not praying polite prayers. We are not

whispering words into the wind. We are praying with authority, with boldness,

with fire, and with holy power. Because when you rise up in the spirit of God

and declare war against the plants of darkness, all hell begins to shake. The

enemy fears a praying child of God. He doesn’t fear your money. He doesn’t fear

your education. He doesn’t fear your connections, but he fears your prayer. Why? Because when you pray, you connect

directly to the throne of heaven. When you pray, you invite the commander of

angel armies to intervene. When you pray, chains break, curses are

shattered, darkness trembles. Don’t you dare underestimate the power of your prayer. You say, “But

I don’t feel strong.” Good. It’s about God’s strength in you. You say, “But I made too many

mistakes.” That’s exactly why you need to pray. You say, “I prayed before. Nothing happened.” And let me tell you

something. Every prayer you’ve ever prayed in faith is the seed planted in

the soil of eternity. And just because you haven’t seen the harvest yet doesn’t

mean the roots aren’t growing beneath the surface. Hey, let me speak to the weary soul listening to me right now.

You’ve been under attack and you didn’t realize it. People have turned on you.

Finances have dried up. Your sleep has been disturbed. Your spirit has been restless. You’ve questioned your faith.

You’ve doubted your worth. But I’m here to tell you that the battle is not your battle is the Lord. And today, we’re

going to go before the throne of grace and we’re going to call down heaven’s fire upon every evil plan that’s been

set against your life. The devil doesn’t want you to pray this kind of prayer. He

wants you to stay silent. He wants you to feel powerless. He wants you to feel ashamed.

But you must rise up. You must open your mouth. You must stand in the authority

of Christ Jesus and declare war in the spirit. You are not a victim. You are a

warrior. You are not defeated. You are more than a conqueror. You are not alone. The angels of God encamp around

those who fear him. And greater is he who is in you than he who is in the

world. I know there are generational curses that have followed your bloodline. I know there are people in

your family who bow down to darkness, who open doors to evil, who made

covenants that still speak. But those covenants can be broken. Those chains

can be destroyed. Those spirits can be cast out. And it doesn’t require a

thousand people. It doesn’t require a famous preacher.

It only takes one person. One person filled with the spirit. One person with

a mustard seed of faith. One person who refuses to bow to fear and instead bows

to the King of Kings. So right now I invite you to join me in this prayer. But not a quiet prayer, not a soft

prayer, a dangerous prayer, a holy prayer, a prayer soaked in the blood of

Jesus and empowered by the fire of the Holy Ghost. Father, in the name of Jesus

Christ, the name above every name, I come before you with boldness. Not by my righteousness, but by the righteousness

of your son. I come covered in the blood that speaks louder than any curse,

louder than any lie, louder than any demonic accusation. I declare in the spirit that every evil plan against my

life be destroyed right now. Every snare, every trap, every hex, every

spell, every spoken word, every hidden agenda, let it be consumed by the fire of the Holy Spirit. I rebuke every demon

sent to distract, to destroy, to deceive. I cancel every assignment from

hell. I render every attack null and void in the mighty name of Jesus. I

break the power of witchcraft. I destroy the grip of manipulation. I silence

every lying tongue. Let confusion fall upon the enemy’s camp. Let every arrow

set against me return to sender. I call upon the God who delivered David from

Goliath. The God who closed the mouths of lions. The God who parted the Red

Sea. Do it again, Lord. Show your power. Show your glory. I declare that no

weapon formed against me shall prosper. I declare that I am hidden under the

shadow of the Almighty. I declare that I walk in divine

protection, divine authority, divine peace. Every demon that has touched my

life without permission, I cast you out in the name of Jesus. You will no longer

torment me. You will no longer torment me. You will no longer oppress me. You

will no longer steal from me. I reclaim everything that was stolen. My joy, my

health, my mind, my purpose, my destiny. I take it back right now, my friend.

Something is breaking. Something is shifting. I feel the chains falling. I

see the prison doors opening. I see God sending angels on your behalf. You are

not alone in this battle. Heaven is backing you. The spirit of God is

fighting for you. You don’t have to live in fear. You don’t have to accept

defeat. You are a child of the most high and the enemy has no legal right to torment your life. It is time to

rise. It is time to walk in victory. Don’t be deceived. There will still be

battles. But now you know how to fight. You fight in prayer. You fight in faith.

You fight with the word of God on your lips and the fire of the Holy Ghost in your bones. You don’t run from the

enemy. You make the enemy run from you. Because when you stand in Jesus, you

stand in power. Yes, there will be moments of doubt. Yes, there will be days when the warfare feels heavy. But

don’t you give up. Don’t you back down. Don’t you let go.

The God who started a good work and you will finish it. The God who raised Lazarus from the dead can resurrect

every dry place in your life. The God who silenced the storm with the word can silence every storm in your soul. You

may not see it yet, but God is working. He’s overturning every evil plan. He’s

exposing every hidden enemy. He’s lifting you out of the pit. He’s restoring what was lost. And he’s

preparing a table before you in the presence of your enemies. Yes, they will

see it. They will watch as God blesses you. They will watch as God vindicates

you. They will watch as God elevates you. Because what the devil meant for

evil, God will turn for your good. Keep praying, keep believing, keep declaring.

You are not fighting for victory. You are fighting from victory. Christ already

won. The cross is your proof. The resurrection is your evidence. The empty

tomb is your guarantee. So rise, child of God. Rise

and pray. Rise and war. Rise and destroy every evil plan

that dares to rise against your life. Because when God is for you, no one and

nothing can stand against you. And hear me now. When you walk in

prayer, you do not walk alone. You walk surrounded, surrounded by the presence

of the Almighty. Surrounded by angels assigned to your path, surrounded by the

blood of Jesus that covers, defends, and redeems. You are not abandoned. You are

not forsaken. You are covered from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet. And when the enemy looks at you,

he does not see weakness. He sees the mark of God, the

seal of the spirit, the fire of heaven burning in your soul. Child of God, you

were born for battle. You were never meant to live a life of compromise or cowardice. The same spirit that raised

Christ from the dead now lives in you. Not a lesser spirit, not a diluted

spirit, the same spirit. That means when you pray, resurrection power flows from

your lip. When you speak the word, it carries eternal authority. When you command darkness to flee, heaven backs

your words with fire. So do not walk with your head down. Do not cower like a

victim. You are a royal priesthood. You are a holy nation. You are a chosen

generation handpicked to trample on serpents and scorpions and to dismantle every evil force that rises against you.

Let the fire of God burn in your bones today. Let his truth thunder in your

spirit. Do not be silent. Do not be passive. The days of lukewarm

Christianity are over. This is a time for holy aggression. This is a time for

spiritual violence, not against people, but against the kingdom of darkness that

has tormented God’s children for far too long. The devil has been attacking your

mind, trying to convince you that you’re not enough, that your prayers don’t matter, that your voice is small, that

God is igniting something within you right now. a holy fire, a righteous

rage, a fearless spirit that says, “I will no longer live under the weight of demonic plans. I will not let fear write

my story. I will pray until something breaks.” And something is breaking right

now. The lies are breaking. The generational chains are

breaking. I speak in the authority of Jesus. Every demonic delay that has kept

you stagnant is being shattered. Every wicked plan that was formed in secret places is being exposed and overruled by

the justice of God. Every plan of sabotage, of sudden destruction, of

spiritual assassination. It is canled in Jesus’ name. You’re not going to die

prematurely. You’re not going to live in confusion. You’re not going to miss your purpose.

The plans of God for your life are still alive. And no devil in hell can stop

what God has declared over you. There is a reason the enemy has

fought you so hard. There is a reason the attacks have been

relentless. Because he sees what you do not yet see. He sees your potential. He

sees your calling. He sees the light inside you. And if you can’t destroy

you, he’ll try to distract you. He’ll try to discourage you. He’ll try to make you forget who you are. But I declare

over you right now, your identity is not in what you’ve been through. Your

identity is not in what others say. Your identity is in Christ. And if Christ is

in you, then you are unstoppable. You are the answer to someone’s prayer. You

are the breakthrough someone else is waiting for. You are the light in someone else’s darkness. And the enemy

knows that if you ever step fully into who God made you to be, his grip will be

broken. Not just in your life, but in the lives of everyone connected to you. So rise up. Shake off the fear. Cast off

the guilt. Stop agreeing with defeat. Start agreeing with the word. Declare

the promises of God louder than the lies of hell. Because when you pray in faith,

you don’t just protect your life, you reclaim it. And hear me now. There is an

anointing that comes upon those who pray like warriors. A divine covering, a

supernatural boldness. You may not have a title. You may not have a platform. But if you have

prayer, you have power. God is raising up hidden warriors. People the world has

overlooked. People who have been rejected, broken, forgotten. But God has not forgotten

you. He’s been watching in the secret place. And now he’s calling you

out cuz there are altars that must be torn down. There are strongholds that

must be broken. Mhm. There are curses that must

be reversed. And you are the one he’s chosen to do it. So do not be afraid.

You are not given a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Your

prayers are not empty words. They are weapons. When you open your mouth in

faith, heaven moves. Hell shakes. Angels are dispatched. Principalities retreat. You

may not see it with your eyes, but the spirit realm responds to your authority when you pray in the name of Jesus. Not

in your name, not in your strength, but in the name that is above every name. There is a realm of prayer that

terrifies darkness. It’s not emotional. It’s not ritual. It’s spiritual

authority. And when you enter that realm, your prayers don’t just ask, they command. Your words don’t just hope,

they legislate. You declare the will of God on earth as it is in heaven. And

when you declare that every evil plan against your life is killed, heaven agrees and the earth must obey. Child of

God, you are not cursed. You are covered. You are not broken. You are

being rebuilt. You are not forgotten. You are chosen. And no witch, no

warlock, no demonic altar, no cursed bloodline can stop the move of God in

your life. You may feel like you’re in a battle, but don’t forget God has already

written the end of your story. And the end is not defeat. The end is not

despair. The end is victory. The evil plans against you may be detailed. They

may be detailed. They may be ancient, but they are no match for the blood of Jesus. They’re no match for the name of

Jesus. They are no match for the word of God. For every dark blueprint written in

hell, there is a divine plan written in heaven. A plan to prosper you, not to

harm you. A plan to give you hope and a future. And when you align your prayers

with that divine plan, every lie of the enemy begins to crumble. Let the spirit of God stir you

up today. Let the roar of righteousness rise within you. No more silent

suffering. No more private torment. No more walking in fear. The time to pray is now. The time to war is now. The time

to stand in your authority is now. God’s placed his word in your mouth like a sword. Use it. Speak it. Declare it. The

enemy has no defense against a praying believer who knows who they are in

Christ. The hour is urgent, but warfare is real, but your God is greater. He is

the same yesterday, today, and forever. And if he delivered Daniel from the lion’s den, if he rescued the three

Hebrew boys from the fire, if he potted the sea from Moses, if he broke the chains for Paul and Silas, he will

destroy every evil plan against your life too. Not someday, not one day. But

now, if you will believe, if you will pray, if you will stand in faith and refuse to bow to fear, you are not at

the mercy of the enemy. He is at the mercy of your prayers. You are not weak.

You are dangerous to the kingdom of darkness and your prayers are not in vain. Keep praying, keep wearing, keep

declaring because God is with you. God is for you and every evil plan against

you is already defeated in Jesus’ name. There are moments when heaven waits for

a voice, one voice to break the silence and declare war on every demonic force

trying to steal, kill, and destroy. That voice might be yours. God is not looking

for perfect people. He is looking for yielded vessels. People who may be trembling but

are willing. People who may have scars but still say, “Here I am, Lord. Use

me.” There is no evil plan too dark that the light of God cannot expose it. There

is no curse too strong that the blood of Jesus cannot break it. There is no generational bondage too old that the

name of Jesus cannot uproot it. But you must rise. You must stand in the gap.

You must open your mouth and pray like someone who believes that heaven is listening and hell is shaking. Enemy

doesn’t fear church attendance. He doesn’t fear a memorized verse. He fears

a believer who walks in intimacy with God. He fears the one who prays not just

out of desperation but out of revelation. Revelation of who they are

and whose they are. He fears the one who has spent time in the secret place. Who

has touched the hem of Christ’s garment. Who has died to self and risen in the fire of the Holy Spirit. The one whose

knows they are seated with Christ in heavenly places far above all principality and power. the one who no

longer begs but commands in the authority of the one who defeated death in the grave. You are not praying for

victory. You are praying from victory. You are not striving to overcome the

devil. He has already been overcome. You are enforcing a verdict that was declared at Calvary where Jesus cried

out, “It is finished.” The blood spoke then and it still speaks now. The blood

does not fade. The blood does not weaken. And the blood still shouts in the courtroom of heaven. Redeemed,

delivered, protected. And when the blood speaks, every demonic tongue must be

silenced. When the blood is applied, every evil assignment must be voided.

When the blood covers your house, every shadow of death must pass over. The

plans against your life may have been woven in wickedness, but they unravel in the presence of God. You may not have

known what was being planned against you in secret rooms and whispered conversations and hidden hatred, but God

saw it. God heard it. And God already made a way of escape before the trap was

even set. You don’t serve a God who reacts. You serve a God who prepares.

While they were plotting your downfall, he was preparing your comeback. While they were digging pits, he was raising

you up. While curses were being spoken, he was writing blessings in his book

with your name on them. But you cannot remain silent. Heaven is voice

activated. You must open your mouth. This is not the hour for passive

believers who whisper prayers under their breath while demons shout in the streets. This is the time for warriors

who cry out with boldness, who declare with fire, who pray with faith until

chains break, until doors open, until evil plans burn in the presence of God.

Prayer is not your last resort. It is your first weapon. It is the battle cry

of the righteous. It is the roar that releases angels into warfare. It is the

trumpet that sends confusion into the enemy’s camp. It is the divine earthquake that breaks prison walls and

shattered satanic structures. Some of you have been too quiet for too long.

You’ve let the enemy walk through your house, torment your mind, steal your peace, and disrupt your destiny without

resistance. But now is the time to say no more. No more sleepless nights ruled

by fear. No more manipulation by people carrying demonic assignments. No more

tolerating spiritual oppression. Take your rightful place. Stand in the authority of the

King of Kings. Lift your voice in holy defiance. Push back the darkness. Pray

with fire. Pray with tears. Pray with passion. But pray because prayer changes

everything. You are not an ordinary person. You are a spiritual gatekeeper.

The enemy can’t enter unless the gate is unguarded. But when the gate is covered

in prayer, when the threshold is marked with truth, when the house is saturated

with the word, when the air is filled with worship, the devil cannot stay. He

may knock but he won’t enter. He may attempt, but he won’t

succeed. He may form the weapon but it will not

prosper because a praying believer is a walking fortress. A

praying believer is a divine alarm system in the spirit. A praying believer doesn’t just resist evil. They reverse

it. I speak now to every life spoken over your life be broken in Jesus’ name.

Every curse uttered in secret nullified by the blood. Every wicked dream sent to torment you, scattered by the fire of

the Holy Ghost. Every spirit of infirmity, lack, depression, confusion, addiction, it must bow to the name of

Jesus. No evil plan shall prevail. No enemy shall conquer. No darkness shall

endure because the one who fights for you is the Lion of Judah. He does not

lose battles. He does not retreat and he does not forsake his own. If you could

only see the angels encamped around you. If you could only glimpse the war being

waged on your behalf in the heavenly realms. You are not vulnerable. You are

surrounded. You are not defenseless. You are defended. You are not at the mercy of fate. You are in the hands of the

sovereign God who counts the hairs on your head and holds every tear in his bottle. He is not late. He is not

absent. He is working even when you can’t see. He is moving even when you

feel stuck. He is listening even when heaven feels silent. Keep praying. Keep

standing. Keep believing. The time is now. Not

tomorrow. Not when you feel more holy. Not when you’ve cleaned yourself

up. Now. Pray now. Declare now. Break the assignment

now. Cancel the plan now. The power is in your mouth. Life and death are in

your tongue. Use your voice to speak life. Use your authority to bind and loose.

Bind every spirit of sabotage, every manipulative force, every demonic trap.

Loose the promises of God. Loose the joy of the Lord. Loose divine

protection. Speak it until you see it. Declare it until you walk in it. Because

the word of God does not return void. Some of you have been waiting for

a prophet to come confirm your breakthrough. But God is saying, “You are the prophet of your house. Speak

life over your children. Declare freedom over your mind. Rebuke the devour off

your finances. Pray the fire of God through your walls. You don’t need a

stage to carry power. You just need the spirit. You don’t need applause to be

effective. You need anointing. You don’t need titles to move mountains. You need

faith. So rise not in your name, but in his. Rise not in your strength, but in

his. Rise not in fear, but in fire. And when you do, every evil plan

formed against you will be met with holy resistance. Every demonic agenda will be

confronted by divine intervention. Every stronghold will meet the crushing power

of the rock of ages. You are not made to hide. You’re not made to blend in. You

were born to rule in the spirit. You were born to pray with

thunder, to worship with warfare, to speak with heaven’s authority. And when

you do, keep pressing, keep prophesying, keep believing, keep praying, cuz the

victory isn’t coming. It’s already here. And your prayer is the key that unlocks

the next chapter of your deliverance. Stand firm. Speak boldly. Pray

dangerously. You’re not just protecting your life. You’re establishing God’s kingdom in the earth. Let the fire fall.

Let the glory rise. Let every evil plan be broken. For the king is with you and

his word will never fail. And let me tell you this, with the fire of heaven burning in my bones, when you begin to

pray, really pray, with a kind of faith that shakes the heavens and disturbs the realms of darkness, you are no longer

merely a participant in life. You become a warrior in the spirit. You become an

intercessor whose words echo in eternity. You become the kind of person

that hell dreads to see wake up in the morning. Because when you open your

mouth, atmospheres shift. When you bend your knees,

strongholds break. When you speak the word, angels are dispatched. You are not

just talking into the air. You are commanding the attention of heaven and

declaring war against hell. Prayer is not weak. Prayer is not

passive. Prayer is not religious chatter. Prayer is violent in the

spirit. Prayer is fierce. It is powerful. The Bible says the effectual

fervent prayer of a righteous man avaleth much. That means prayer works.

It moves things. It changes things. It exposes the works of darkness. It silences the accuser. It crushes the

serpent. When the early church prayed, prison doors opened, chains fell off,

earthquakes shook the foundation, and that same power is still alive today.

That same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. So why are you

silent? We are not to sit idly by while the enemy runs rampant through our homes, through our marriages, through

our minds. Well, child of God, you have been given power and authority to

trample over serpents and scorpions. That means every spirit of

confusion, every manipulative whisper, every oppressive force has no legal

right to stay when you stand in prayer. But you must stand. Don’t

negotiate with demons. Don’t entertain wicked thoughts.

Don’t tolerate spiritual stagnation. Wage war in prayer. And not just any

prayer, but prayer that is anchored in the word, driven by the spirit, and declared with faith. There are evil

plans that were set in motion long before you were born. Generational curses, family patterns, demonic

assignments passed down through bloodlines. But God in his infinite mercy has raised

you up in this hour to break what others bow to. You are the interruption. You

are the cycle breaker. You are the one called to reverse the verdict. But not by might, not by power, by his

spirit. Through prayer, through far peeled intercession, through declarations soaked in the blood of the

lamb. Some of you have wondered why the battle has been so intense. Why every

step forward feels like a war. Why doors close before you can knock. Why

relationships fall apart without warning. It’s because your life carries weight in the spirit. The enemy is

threatened by what you carry. He knows if you ever discover the authority you

have in prayer, you’ll destroy every blueprint he’s tried to build. That’s why he wants

to keep you distracted. He wants to keep you bitter. He wants to keep you

silent. But today, the veil is being lifted. Today, God is awakening

warriors. Not Sunday Christians, not religious talkers, not but spiritfilled

intercessors who walk with heaven’s fire in their eyes. Your secret place is your

battlefield. That quiet room where no one sees you. That’s where nations

shift. That’s where bondages break. That’s where destinies are recovered.

Don’t underestimate your prayers in the midnight hour. Don’t belittle those tears you’ve cried in silence. God saw

every one of them and he stores them in his bottle. Not one wasted. Every cry,

every groan, every whispered plea. It is built an altar. And at the

appointed time, fire is going to fall on that altar. And when it does, the evil plans will scatter. The traps will

collapse, the curses will backfire, and you will rise in victory. Let me say it plainly. There

are some battles that will not end until you pray them out. You can’t counsel

demons. You can’t ignore witchcraft. You can’t numb spiritual

warfare with entertainment or distractions. After all, you got to face it in prayer. You’ve got to grab the

horns of the altar and refuse to let go until heaven moves. That’s what Jacob

did. He wrestled with God. He said, “I will not let you go until you bless me.” And God changed his name. He changed his

destiny because desperate prayer leads to divine encounter. Some of you are

still living under names that were never yours. Labels from your past, accusations from others, lies whispered

by the enemy. Tonight, if you dare to pray, if you dare to cry out with all

your heart, God is ready to change your name from victim to victor, from

rejected to redeemed, from fearful to fearless, from broken to

beloved. But you must contend in prayer because identity is reclaimed in the

presence of God. And no evil plan can override what God has

renamed. The enemy works through deception. He weaves lies into your

thoughts. He plants seeds of fear. He sends distractions to keep you out of

the secret place. Because he knows once you enter, once you truly dwell under the shadow of the Almighty, he loses

every foothold. Psalm 91 wasn’t written for decoration. You’ll stop praying as

someone who’s under siege. You stop praying as someone taking territory because the devil’s in

attacking your past. He’s terrified of your future. He’s terrified of your

potential. He’s terrified of your voice lifted in prayer. When you pray, you

remind the enemy that his grip is temporary, but your calling is eternal.

Then I want you to understand this. Every evil plan against you was seen by God before it was ever considered.

Nothing catches him by surprise. That witch’s curse, God already knew. That

betrayal, God already saw. That trap set in secret, heaven already mapped out

your escape. God is not pacing the floors of eternity wondering how to

protect you. No, he’s already placed you in the palm of his hand. And the moment

you pray with the authority he gave you, you enforce his victory on earth. Not

trying to win. You’re enforcing a victory that was sealed at the cross. You see, the blood of Jesus

didn’t just wash away sin. It destroyed every legal right the enemy had to your

life. The blood speaks louder than the lies. It speaks louder than the

accusations. It speaks louder than the curses. When you pray, plead the blood.

Don’t just ask for protection. Invoke the blood covenant. Say, “By the blood of

Jesus, I command every demonic interference to bow. I rebuke every evil voice. I cancel

every word curse. I reverse every generational pattern. I seal my home, my

mind, my future under the blood.” That is not superstition. That is power.

That is how you fight. And don’t just pray when you’re in trouble. Don’t just pray when the

darkness is thick. Build an altar in your life. Be a person of constant

communion. Let your life be a sanctuary of praise and intercession because the

devil is looking for openings. He’s prowling. He’s probing. He’s watching for moments of spiritual

slumber. But when your life is saturated in prayer, you become a fire the enemy

cannot touch. He can form the weapon, but it won’t prosper. He can send a storm, but it won’t sink you. Why?

Because you dwell in the presence of the Almighty. You are hidden in Christ. You

are covered, shielded. For some of you need to stop praying to your fear and

start praying through your faith. Stop rehearsing the size of your mountain and

start declaring the size of your God. Jesus didn’t teach us to cope with

evil. And he taught us to conquer it. I give you power to tread on serpents and

scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. And nothing shall by any means

harm you. That is not metaphorical fluff. That is divine

reality. And if you believe it, if you claim it, if you walk in it, you watch

the enemy flee. The devil doesn’t respect tears. He doesn’t respect pity.

He respects power. And power comes through prayer. Don’t let unanswered

prayers become the breeding ground for unbelief. Just because the enemy delayed it doesn’t mean God vented it. There’s a

difference between delay and defeat. Some things are being worked out in realms you cannot see. While you pray on

earth, angels are raring in the heavens. Demons are being driven out. Assignments

are being dismantled. Don’t stop. Don’t grow weary. Keep praying because persistence is proof of faith. And when

your prayers are anchored in God’s promises, they will produce divine results in his timing. Have you ever

noticed that in scripture, every time someone cried out to God with their whole heart, something

moved? When Elijah prayed, fire fell. When Hannah prayed, her womb opened.

When Daniel prayed, lion’s mouths were shut. When Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises in prison, the foundation

shook and the doors flew open. That’s not just history. It’s your inheritance.

The same God who heard them is the God who hears you. If you will rise in faith, if you will cry out with boldness

and purity, your prayer will send tremors through hell and rip the veil that evil has tried to place over your

death. Some of you are fighting battles that started before you were born. Ancestral spirits, occultic covenants,

secret altars raised by forefathers. And you’ve been wondering why the warfare is so intense, why every

step forward is met with resistance. It’s because the enemy thinks he still has legal ground through the bloodline.

But when you come into the kingdom of God, you are no longer bound by your earthly lineage. You are grafted into the

bloodline of Jesus Christ. That means every ancestral curse

has to bow. Every generational altar has to fall. every demonic chain has to break.

But you must pray like someone who knows their authority. If you want to break the evil plans against your life, you

must pray prophetically. Don’t just ask God to rescue you. Declare your freedom.

Speak the word. Command the darkness to leave. Declare that your children will

not inherit fear. Speak life over your mind. Prophesy victory into your finances. Declare restoration over your

marriage. This is not wishful thinking. This is the language of spiritual

authority. This is the kind of prayer that silences witches. This is the kind of prayer that drives demons to tremble.

This is the kind of prayer that pulls heaven down into your situation. Let your house become a house of prayer.

Anoint your doors. Saturate your rooms with worship. Declare the promises of

God over every square inch of your dwelling. Make it so uncomfortable for

demons that they flee at the sound of your footsteps. The enemy should know

that your home is off limits. He should know your children are covered. He should know your marriage is sealed. And that confidence doesn’t come from emotion. It comes from a consistent life of prayer and surrender. Stop negotiating with spiritual terrorists. Some of you have tolerated things that God never intended for you to accept. You’ve allowed fear to sit at your table. You’ve allowed bitterness to dwell in your heart. You’ve allowed compromise to steal your strength. But enough is enough. It’s time to rise in holy death. It’s time to

say, “Devil, you don’t belong here. I break every agreement I made with fear.

I renounce every lie I believed. I take back the territory I surrendered. I tear

down every altar of darkness. I reclaim my mind. I reclaim my joy. I reclaim my fire in the name of Jesus. This kind of prayer doesn’t come from comfort. It comes from hunger. Hunger for God. Hunger for righteousness. Hunger for freedom.

When you get desperate enough, you won’t care who’s watching. You won’t care how loud you cry. You won’t care how long it takes. You’ll press in. You’ll seek him

until you find him. And when you do, the anointing that destroys the yoke will fall. The glory will fill the room. The power will surge through your bones. And every evil plan that was crafted in secret will be shattered in the light of

his presence. You don’t need more opinions. You don’t need more motivation. You need the presence of the Holy Spirit. You need to get alone with God and cry out from the depth of your soul. Not polished words, not religious performance, just raw, honest, spiritual intercession. Because that’s the kind of prayer that touches the heart of God and releases heaven’s hand against every plot of the enemy. So I ask you today, are you ready to become a threat to darkness? Are you ready to step into the fullness of your authority? Are you ready to pray with such conviction that chains break, curses reverse, and doors swing open?

Then don’t wait another moment. Don’t give the enemy another inch. Today is the day. Now is the time. Let your voice be heard in the throne room of heaven. Let your spirit rise. Let your faith roar. And let every evil plan against your life be broken, dismantled, and destroyed by the power of your prayer.

My Past and Wounds That Must Be Removed

2024.07.09 New Family On-Site Minister Training
Lesson 3 – God’s Plan for the New Family, Lesson 8
Scripture Reading: Galatians 2:20

Introduction

What is the most important thing you need right now? And what is the most essential thing new believers need in order to truly receive answers? It is “me” — understanding one’s true self. You must help new believers realize this deeply. Because of this, wounds naturally arise. That’s understandable, but the bigger issue is that many are unable to enjoy God’s answers because of it.
This is why you must deal with these wounds through the gospel.

In this introduction, there are five key areas that must be addressed.
During Jesus’ ministry, tens of thousands of people followed Him. But when problems arose, they thought everything had fallen apart. In the end, only 120 people remained. The rest ran away, thinking, “I must have been wrong… Jesus was executed on the cross… I must have been deceived for three years.” They believed the Pharisees were right.

The teaching of the Pharisees was this:

> “How can anyone receive salvation by faith alone?”

That was the core conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees. Jesus declared, “Your faith has saved you. According to your faith, it shall be done” — but the Pharisees were enraged:

> “Then what about all our traditions? What about the laws we’ve been keeping for generations? This man is a blasphemer and a heretic!”

But here’s the truth: the Pharisees had religion, not the gospel. Salvation comes only by faith in what God has provided — nothing else works. Without this, real problems cannot be solved, and real answers will never come.

1) The Fundamental Wound – Disobedience (12 Problems: “Me”-centered life)

The very first thing you must teach new believers is about the fundamental wound. Where did it begin? It began when humanity was no longer satisfied with what God had given. God provided perfection, yet people were not satisfied. Even the Garden of Eden wasn’t enough, so they disobeyed God — and as a result, the 12 problems given by Satan entered.

If you truly want to receive answers, you must realize this:

> “If I am truly enjoying God’s answers, then I no longer need ‘me.’”

Every person used by God in the Bible lived by this standard — their focus was not themselves.

Take Daniel as an example. He knew he would be thrown into the lions’ den, but he still knelt three times a day facing Jerusalem and gave thanks in prayer. That’s not ordinary faith — that’s the power of someone who no longer lives for themselves.

After Jesus’ resurrection, the 120 members of the early church all lived this way. Even in Mark’s Upper Room, there were still some who struggled with self-centeredness, but among all teams, Paul’s team completely let go of “me.” Yet even Paul’s team sometimes faced these wounds — a clear example is found in the Corinthian church:

> “We follow Paul!”
> “We follow Peter!”
> “We follow Apollos!”

This division grieved Paul deeply, so he said:

> “Who is Paul? Who is Apollos? We are only servants. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God is the one who makes it grow.”

It was during this time that God raised up Priscilla and Aquila, and through them, an incredible work began — including the building of three major churches, which we’ll discuss next week.

You must teach this to new believers.
Many people come to church but eventually leave without ever experiencing real answers. Some leave when the pastor says something they don’t like. But listen carefully: we do not believe in the pastor — we believe in God.

If the pastor makes mistakes, pray for him. Help him. Support him. Don’t let human issues block your faith.
If you do not solve this “Christ problem,” everything else falls apart. That’s why God showed Peter the vision: Elijah disappeared, Moses disappeared — only Christ remains.

Jesus asked, “Who do you say I am?” But people answered, “Some say you’re Elijah… some say you’re Jeremiah… some say you’re John the Baptist.” Many people today still treat Christ like one of the prophets. That is why they cannot experience true answers.

When a new believer finally understands Christ, everything ends — and from that moment, answers begin to overflow to the point where they can’t contain them.

2) The Actual Wounds

The second area is real, personal wounds. These arise because of the fundamental wound. Even when nothing major happens, people carry inner wounds because their standards are misplaced:

1. Heart – “If I like it, it’s good. If I don’t, it’s bad.”
2. Thoughts – “If I think it’s right, it must be right.” But God’s Word must be the standard, not human reasoning.
3. Brain – Eventually, these wounds become deeply imprinted in the brain and start controlling a person’s responses.
4. Spirit – Over time, the wounds become engraved in the spirit, shaping one’s identity.
5. Body – Finally, they manifest physically, often resulting in sickness or fatigue.

3) Hidden Wounds (Cultural)

There are wounds people carry without even realizing it, often shaped by culture.
For example, strong nations, developing nations, and underdeveloped nations all carry different cultural scars. Many immigrants come to Korea or move to the U.S. and bring unseen wounds from their backgrounds.

This is why when we minister to different people groups, we must see their hidden scars through the lens of the gospel.
Missionaries especially face this challenge: they travel the world but often only deal with surface wounds, leaving the root wounds untouched. Without addressing these, people may leave church unexpectedly, unable to endure conflict or disappointment.

4) Wounds from Life Experiences

Another type of wound comes from past life experiences — things we often try to hide:

Family lineage wounds
Home environment wounds
Personal failures and regrets

If not healed, these become deep chains that control a person’s future.

5) Physical Wounds (Sickness)

Finally, there are wounds that manifest as illness. Among the 5,000 unreached people groups, almost 100% suffer from physical problems. During mission trips, we discovered that nearly everyone had some form of sickness. Without understanding healing ministry, world evangelization becomes nearly impossible.

Main Point: Healing and Spiritual Restoration

True healing is not only about medicine or surgery — doctors handle the physical, but the gospel heals the before and after:

The wounds caused by sin before the illness.
The spiritual restoration needed after.

New believers especially need this kind of holistic healing to enjoy God’s answers and restore their spiritual identity.

1. We must know the root of our past wounds and uproot the bitter root

If you understand the source of your wounds, you can finally help others uproot theirs. The root is found in Genesis 3, 6, and 11 — the three chapters that reveal humanity’s separation from God.

1) Genesis 3:1–20 – The cause of all problems (The fundamental root)

Humanity’s disobedience began here. Adam and Eve left God by choosing their own way, and as a result, sin entered the world, bringing death and curses.

2) Genesis 6:1–20 – Families striving but collapsing

People worked hard, built families, and pursued success — but without God, it resulted in the age of the Nephilim, where spiritual chaos and destruction entered families.

3) Genesis 11:1–8 – Societies advancing but falling

Humanity appeared to be progressing, building the Tower of Babel in pride and independence, but without God, everything collapsed. What looked like success ended in confusion and division.

When you explain this to new believers while praying, the Holy Spirit Himself will open their eyes to see the true root of their wounds and problems.

2. If we do not heal our wounds, they become Satan’s foothold

This is very important. Unhealed wounds don’t just remain personal struggles — they become Satan’s access point into your life.

Areas where wounds open doors to Satan:

1. Family and generational problems – Broken homes, conflicts, generational curses.
2. Serious or rare diseases – Physical weakness becomes an entry point for fear and despair.
3. Idolatry and resulting mental disorders – Spiritual oppression always follows false worship.
4. Relational conflicts – Wounds make it difficult to forgive, deepening division.
5. Environmental and situational problems – Poverty, injustice, and oppression leave lasting scars.

These unresolved wounds cause ripple effects — families break down, mental problems intensify, diseases worsen, and conflicts deepen.
That is why healing is not optional — we must cut off Satan’s foothold so believers can live in God’s freedom.

3. We must know the spiritual background that deceives us

Satan’s primary strategy is deception. He rarely appears directly but works subtly to confuse and mislead God’s people.

1) Satan deceives through lies (John 8:44)

> “You belong to your father, the devil… when he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

Satan’s lies make us believe we’re fine when we’re not, or convince us we’re hopeless when God has provided a way.

2) Satan deceives by appearing as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14)

Sometimes deception comes disguised as “good things.”
For example, someone might cause division in the church, win an argument, and walk away thinking, “I’ve defended the truth. I’ve won!” But in reality, they’ve been used by Satan to attack the body of Christ.

3) Satan manipulates unseen powers and authorities (Ephesians 6:12–20)

Paul discovered the reality:

> “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, and powers of this dark world.”
> Your real battle is not with people — it’s spiritual. The enemy manipulates structures, governments, and environments to block God’s work.

4) Satan deceives through idolatry (Exodus 20:3–5; 1 Corinthians 10:20)

Idol worship is not harmless; Paul says it’s communion with demons.
Horoscopes, fortune-telling, reincarnation, and shamanism — these are all satanic traps. Many church members still secretly visit fortune-tellers because they’re anxious about their future.

You must teach new believers firmly:

> “In Christ, your future is secure. You don’t need to seek answers elsewhere.”

4. Our thoughts must change first

When you truly receive the gospel, your entire thought system shifts.

1) Galatians 2:20 – Identity transformation

> “I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.”
> You no longer belong to yourself — your life now belongs to Christ.

2) Philippians 4:6–7 – Peace that transcends understanding

> “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
> God commands us to give thanks even in difficulty. Why? Because His peace — which surpasses human understanding — will guard our hearts and minds.

5. Restore a life of thanksgiving

God has called us out of sin, curses, and darkness into His marvelous light.

> “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession…” (1 Peter 2:9)

When new believers truly understand this identity, thanksgiving naturally overflows. Healing, joy, and spiritual power begin when we recover gratitude for God’s grace.

Conclusion

When these truths become clear, the conclusion for receiving answers becomes simple and powerful.

1) Right now

Right now, as believers worship God, this is the most important time to receive spiritual strength.
Even when you face persecution or hardship, Paul reminds us:

> “We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair… struck down, but not destroyed.” (2 Corinthians 4:8–9)

Why? Because although we are jars of clay, we carry the treasure of Christ within us. That treasure is your strength.

2) Waiting on God’s kingdom

The second key to teach new believers is waiting — receiving power while anticipating God’s perfect timing.
We don’t rush ahead; we align with the work of God’s kingdom and receive strength through prayer.

3) The pattern of discipleship and answers

Jesus Himself modeled a spiritual system of power and answers:

3 years → Jesus taught His disciples to let go of everything, even their own lives, and carry the cross.
40 days → After His resurrection, He taught them about God’s kingdom and instructed them to wait for the Holy Spirit.
10 days → The disciples obeyed, praying together in one accord, and at Pentecost, the power came.
Acts 2:42 → They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer.
Acts 2:46–47 → Daily worship restored their spiritual life and overflowed into evangelism.
Set times of prayer → Establish rhythms of daily connection with God.
24 + 25 + Eternal →

24 → Living in constant fellowship with God.
25 → Experiencing heavenly power beyond human limits.
Eternal → Leaving behind everlasting spiritual works that impact generations.

Teach new believers this spiritual flow. When they connect God’s Word, worship, and their field, daily answers will follow.

These three lectures are essential for all new believers.
Before you can help others, you must first receive healing and answers yourself.

It’s not about your standards.
It’s not about your opinions.
It’s not about human thoughts.
It’s about God’s Word and His will.

When you restore gratitude and prayer, you will naturally live within God’s perfect plan.

Prayer. “May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the One who solved every problem; the infinite love of God the Father; and the mighty work of the Holy Spirit be with every servant of God who will save this generation, and with every new believer who will save the field, from now and forevermore. Amen.”

How Great Are the Blessings Believers Have Received

2024. 07. 09 New Family Field Worker Training
Lesson 2 – God’s Plan for the New Family, Lesson 7
Scripture Reading: Philippians 3:20

♠Introduction:
In our first session, I spoke about the work of the Holy Spirit that takes place when you pray and when you worship. The answer comes afterward, so you must help people realize the value of enjoying this first. Today, the second session is about the important “blessings of the believer” that you must actually hold onto.

Here the most important thing is this: are we not living within eternity? Past, today, and future. But if you use those as your standard, you will feel anxious. You remember things from your past, and if things go well today, then you feel anxious about the future. That is why you must see all three (past, present, future) within the eternal things of God. If you do this, it may sound similar but it is completely different. We have not only received salvation, but we have also received eternal life. That means we do not die, and this is very important. Unbelievers think that when they die, it is the end. But we know that is not the case. Therefore, you must see your life within eternity, and this is the ministry you must absolutely do for new family members.

1) Past – platform
The past.
(1) Hardships (Word + works) – Everyone has hardships in their past. You may think elites don’t, but they have even more. In fact, many elites come to faith strongly because they have deep spiritual problems. When such a person understands the gospel, they receive tremendous answers. That is why when you look at hardships in the light of God’s Word and His works, there is a message that strikes their heart. For example, if a family has a disabled person, you must not just leave it at that. What does God’s Word say? You must explain the whole picture. And there are people with disabilities who influenced the world. When people see this, they are struck. That becomes a tremendous work of God. At that time, it truly becomes a platform. You must do this for them because they may not be able to do it themselves. Did not Jesus say the same thing? “Whose sin is this?” That is the way people in the world think. But Jesus said that the works of God might be displayed. Simply put, Anne Sullivan saw this. We often do not. Everyone has different hardships.

Or take a person who graduated from Seoul National University and passed the bar exam—aren’t they considered outstanding talent? He became a lawyer. Outwardly, it seemed like he went to church because of his wife. He was a good man, polite, capable, lacking nothing. “Does he really need faith?” That’s how it looked. But then his children began having spiritual problems. He had no one to talk to. While listening to messages, he finally understood the Word. His children began to change. He came to believe, “Truly, this is God’s work. How could this be possible?” He received grace and understood the gospel. “Ah, this is the gospel!” And the Word began to take root in him. Such problems don’t come overnight or because of one person. They are long-standing. And when the gospel hits that problem, the answer explodes. That is why, when we say the gospel was given before eternity, yes—that means it was always necessary.

(2) 237 (long-standing problems) – We must go one step further. People coming from the 237 nations carry long-standing problems. You must help them discover the answer.

(3) 5000 tribes (imprints) – Now, people from the 5000 tribes are also coming. It is not enough to just skim the surface. These people are imprinted with things from long ago. It has taken root and become their nature. So although it sounds simple to say “the past is a platform,” unless this is dealt with, it will take a very long time and no answers will come.

2) Today – throne
Then comes today. You must explain clearly what today is. Once the past becomes a platform, what is today? Jesus explained it. It is the throne’s (1) bartizan, (2) journey, and (3) guidepost. This is not just symbolic—it is the throne. Jesus first said, “Pray for His kingdom to come.” At the end He said, “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.” And finally, He spoke of the works of the kingdom of God. This is the today that we enjoy. Even if no answer comes, this itself is the answer. You are already enjoying it. You must help people escape from the wrong understanding here.

3) Future (CVDIP)
And what about the future? This is where CVDIP comes. Out of the covenant comes Vision. From within this comes Dream. By the image of God, the power of creation is fulfilled. So the future is (1) the eternal inheritance, (2) the works that remain forever, (3) the eternal legacy. This is the year’s theme, but in fact it is the eternal theme. You must teach this.

Main – So then, what is the blessing we must truly enjoy? ①Our identity. It has changed. Do not listen to the lies of evil spirits. Your identity has changed. From your new identity comes ②authority. From there comes ③life. This must be taught clearly to new family members.

1. Your identity has changed. Remember this truth.

1) Your identity has changed into that of a child of God. God dwells within us. The king dwells in his palace. God dwells in the temple. Outwardly, nothing seems different before and after faith, but since God dwells in the believer’s heart, your identity has changed (Romans 8:2, 1 Corinthians 3:16).

You have become God’s child. Before, you were a child of the devil. People just don’t realize it. Many ask, “So are all unbelievers demon-possessed?” I believe they are. All cultures are demon cultures. Right? It is all Nephilim culture. They must be delivered.

2) The Holy Spirit always guides you (John 16:16–17). Unbelievers live by their own strength, but believers live being led by the Holy Spirit.

Since you have become God’s child, as I said in lecture 1, you are now one who is led by the Holy Spirit. Before, the Bible says, you followed the ruler of the kingdom of the air. Before, you were children of the devil. Naturally, life was hard. You must explain this clearly.

3) You receive the filling of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). Unbelievers live by their own will and hit limits, but believers live by the strength God gives.

That is why we need power, and so God promised the filling of the Holy Spirit. During worship you can receive the filling of the Holy Spirit. In your set time of prayer you can receive the filling of the Holy Spirit. A scientific explanation can help. “What happens if you spend three hours in a shaman ritual?” What happens? Tremendous things. But destructive things. What happens if Muslims pray at set times daily, even while walking? Their brain is deeply affected. And it penetrates their spirit. Then it shows in their life. That is why problems and works both come. You must help people understand this, so they realize, “Ah, so I must pray continually. Even when it looks like no answers are coming, that is not true.”

2. What blessings has God given to believers?
From here, amazing things begin to happen.

1) He sends His heavenly armies of angels to guard you. (See textbook p. 20 for details.)
God invisibly sends His heavenly hosts to help and serve you. This is completely spiritual. It is happening even now. Some people wonder why answers don’t come, but it is not so.

2) In the authority of Jesus you can break all the forces of Satan. Therefore you no longer need to rely on fortune-telling, shaman rituals, or ancestral rites (Acts 13:1–12, Acts 16:16–18, Acts 19:8–20).
This is the authority given to defeat Satan and darkness. It is tremendous.

3) You can enjoy all blessings as a citizen of heaven who has eternal life (Philippians 3:20, Acts 1:3).
As a citizen of heaven with eternal life, you can enjoy this blessing. Philippians 3:20—you must enjoy this.

4) You have received the blessing of world evangelization. (See textbook p. 20 for details.)
Not only that, but He has given the blessing of world evangelization. The Lord promised to be with you with all authority in heaven and on earth. The Lord seated on the throne is working. The Lord explained the things of the kingdom for 40 days and promised this. That is the mystery. Therefore He said, “Go to the ends of the earth.” This is the authority we have received.

3. How can you enjoy these blessings?
You must explain this life. This life is the ambassadorial calling of Christ’s threefold office. Indeed, since Christ came as the True King, Prophet, and Priest, He gave us the same calling and authority.

1) Since Jesus dwells in you, when you entrust everything and believe fully, all problems are solved (Galatians 2:20).
He said, “Christ lives in me.” Today you must believe this power. When do answers come? They come tomorrow and they come even now.

2) When you pray with thanksgiving, God guards your heart and mind (Philippians 4:6–7).
As Philippians 4:6–7 says: “Present your requests with thanksgiving.” Carry your worries and yet give thanks. Daniel faced death, yet prayed with thanksgiving. Can you understand that? From this came tremendous works and evidence. “Believe that you have received what you asked for…”

3) Whatever you ask in faith, you will receive (Mark 11:24).
Even now as you hold onto the Word and say “Amen,” the Spirit of God is working and answering. If you don’t teach this to new family members, it is a disaster.

4) When you pray in the Spirit on all occasions, you will receive answers on all occasions (Ephesians 6:18).
So don’t be burdened. Pray in the Spirit at all times. I once told this to a parent of an autistic child. I had been invited to briefly lecture at an autism retreat. Afterward, a parent came up and said, “This is the day I look forward to the most—because for a short time, I can entrust my child and just pray.” I thought, “Yes, that must be so.” Even for me, just spending a short time there was exhausting. How much more for the parents? So I told that deaconess, “You have been given a unique opportunity—an opportunity for 24 prayer.” Later, the child changed, went to school, received awards. For new family members, this teaching is essential.

♠Conclusion
This is what must be explained.

1. Heart – the three todays
Even without outward action, you must hold the three todays in your heart each day: today’s prayer, today’s Word, today’s evangelism. It may seem like nothing, but your heart must be in it first.

2. Faith – answers
Then simply believing that the Holy Spirit is working is itself the answer. We often think answers must show up visibly. Of course they do, but believing itself is the answer.

3. Absolute covenant
And then, even for the new family, one day they will see this. The absolute covenant will be revealed. Simply put, there is a covenant given uniquely to that person. From the day they discover it, everything changes. For me, the moment I held onto “only the gospel, only evangelism, only prayer,” change began immediately. For new family members, this is absolutely important.

Now let’s take a 10-minute break and continue. During that time, recover your strength in prayer. I will pray.

Prayer. May all my diseases be healed at this time. Heal also the unknown diseases. Heal the spiritual diseases. May the works of God’s kingdom be fulfilled in all places connected to me. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

How Do You Walk with Christ?

Philippians 2:5-11. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

⁶Who, being in very nature God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
⁸And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death—
        even death on a cross!

⁹Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,
¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
¹¹and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.

How do you walk with Christ in this twisted and crooked generation? To walk with Christ in such a world requires both inner transformation and outward testimony. It is not simply about outward morality but about living in union with the Lord Jesus Christ—sharing His mindset, taking up His cross, and standing in His victory.

First, you must walk with the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5). What does this mean? It means you invite Him as Lord and King to the throne of your heart and mind. Make His will your will. Make His plans your plans. Make His purpose your purpose in life. Let giving Him glory and honor become the greatest joy of your life.

To do this, approach your Father’s throne with an attitude of total submission, just as Jesus did to His Father (Philippians 2:5–8). Only then will you begin to understand the heart of “God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4).

When you have this mindset, your prayer life will change. You will pray not for selfish needs but according to His will. You will seek the greatest blessing of all—His kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33). You will pray with the heart of an evangelist: “Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should” (Ephesians 6:19–20).

God will read your heart, hear your prayer, and open a door for your message so that you may proclaim the mystery of Christ (Colossians 4:2–3). Knowing this, Paul prayed on all occasions (Ephesians 6:18), did not stop praying for the believers (Colossians 1:9), and always prayed with joy (Philippians 1:7). This is a mark of those who walk with Christ.

Second, to walk with Christ you must fix your eyes on the cross with humility (Philippians 2:8). We have been saved by grace. Only when we acknowledge that there is no hope apart from the cross of Christ will we be set free from the curse of sin. We cannot overcome sin by repentance alone or by trying harder to live a godly life. The burden of our sin is impossible for us to carry. That is why “the Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6). When you kneel before the cross and confess that Jesus is your True Priest who gave Himself as a ransom for your life, you realize that He has already canceled your sins by the blood He shed.

The same is true in our battle against Satan. On your own, you cannot overcome the powers of darkness. But when you acknowledge Jesus as your True King, He fights the battle for you. The devil has already been utterly defeated when Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead. Victory in life cannot be expected apart from the cross of Jesus. That is why Paul confessed, “The cross of our Lord Jesus Christ is my only reason for boasting. Through Jesus’ death on the cross, the world is dead to me, and I am dead to the world” (Galatians 6:14).

Finally, you must live with the assurance of victory for tomorrow. God has given us the name of Jesus that is above every name, in heaven and on earth and under the earth (Philippians 2:9–11). You may be weak, like a jar of clay, but the all-surpassing power is from God and not from you (2 Corinthians 4:7). When you pray in Jesus’ name, God promises to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land (Haggai 2:6).

Walking with Christ means conversing with Him throughout the day, in every situation, seeking His will. When you do, He will give you clear answers in your conscience, strength in your weakness, and victory in your trials.

Prayer. Lord Jesus, I thank You for walking with me today. Help me fix my eyes on the cross, put on Your mindset, and live with the assurance of victory that came through You. In Your mighty name, Amen.

Biblical Reference for the 777 Prayer

Who is the Holy Spirit?

July 9, 2024. New Family Field Worker Training,
Lesson 1 – God’s Plan for the New Family, Session 6
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8

♠Introduction:
This is a time for the new family retreat, for the new family. I grew up in a Christian household. And I served as a minister for 40 years. There has always been a concern in my heart: “When a new family goes to church, can that person really understand the gospel? And can that person truly receive answers to prayer?” You probably have felt that too, but I worried about it a lot. When a new family goes to church, they should be able to know the gospel properly, receive grace, and receive answers to prayer, but aren’t there obstacles to that inside the church? Of course, there are none in God’s church itself, but among us there are many. We must help the new family receive grace and receive answers. Of course, it is not us who make it, but we are the ones who run errands so that the grace can be there.

Since they are a new family, there are three things that must first be made clear.
① Your salvation was received by the grace of God. There were no conditions, but faith is the condition, and even that faith is what the Holy Spirit made you realize. Beyond that, you cannot receive answers through your own realization. “I believed in Jesus because of this,” “I became like this because of that,” that is not the case. That is why it must be taught properly. Then what’s next?

② “How should we live?” The new family does not know this either. Each denomination emphasizes different things, right? Some insist that you must be baptized. Some insist on holiness. Some emphasize experience. All those things that emphasize one aspect are not wrong. However, now that you are saved, you are to become Christ-like, to follow the teachings of Christ, to follow what God desires. That is sanctification. And though we will be fully transformed in eternity when we go to heaven, that is our goal. That is glorification. The new believers must understand these basics.

③ Then, what is the secret of answers in the life of faith? Earlier, we asked questions such as, “Who is Christ, who is God, and who am I?” In order to receive answers to prayer, today’s sixth lecture is important. Jesus said, “Believe that you have received what you have asked in prayer.” Before I understood prayer, I could not understand this word. “I have not received, but believe that I have.” One day, I came to understand prayer, and when I did, this word became everything. Right? When Joseph held onto the covenant, he had already received it. The rest was simply fulfillment. Right? When Moses received the covenant from his mother, he had already received all the answers. Then isn’t all of Scripture like that? “Ah, I see, this is prayer. This is worship.” Right? Then, if you don’t know that prayer and worship are important, you end up dying spiritually. Right?

So the word that came out of this is “Who is the Holy Spirit?” When you hold onto the covenant, the Holy Spirit works. That means you have already received the answer. When believers hear the pastor’s sermon and receive grace touched by the Spirit of God, that is already the answer. Of course, it will come to pass later, but “When the day of Pentecost came,” that means it had already come. So when believers receive strength during worship on Sunday, that is everything. Right?

And this is scientifically proven. One of my friends went to the Vietnam War and returned. He was traumatized in Vietnam. One day, while eating with us, he collapsed. He collapsed while eating, and that was the first time I saw epilepsy. It was so painful to watch him convulsing. We didn’t know what to do. After some time, he became fine. He was very apologetic, and as friends, we encouraged him and talked. His mental shock had turned into epilepsy. That is science. The thoughts you have now will surely turn into your body. We think that only what comes into our bodies is the answer. But when you receive the grace of the Holy Spirit and the Word comes upon you, surely later your life will change.

So in the introduction—when talking about the work of the Holy Spirit, we must tell the new family practical stories through events.

1) Genesis 1:27 (Us)
The Holy Spirit already existed. When creating mankind, it was not “I” but “Us.” From the beginning, the Triune God was with us, eternally, always present. If you don’t believe this fact, there’s no need to go to church on Sunday. Right? Though unseen, when you receive grace at church, later evidence will appear, later answers will come, and everything happens from there. So we must help them receive answers.

2) Exodus 24:14–17 (Wilderness)
In Exodus 24:14–17, the three feasts appear. The Jews misunderstood this. They thought it was about harvesting grain. That is not the case. Coming out of Egypt symbolizes salvation—that is Passover. Gathering into the storehouse refers to the heavenly background—that is, the Feast of Ingathering. Pentecost does include harvesting grain, but it is not just that. It is about the Israelites journeying forty years in the wilderness, following God’s power. That is Pentecost. Last Sunday’s sermon on the Feast of Harvest was about this. This must be understood in reality. You are on a wilderness journey, so you must go through the world by the Spirit of God, by the power of God.

3) Joel 2:28
This appeared again as an event in Joel 2:28. When was it? It was during the time of Elisha. When Israel had completely fallen into idolatry and was perishing, at that time, the prophet Joel gave the solution. God will pour out His Spirit on His servants, both men and women. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. That was spoken then.

4) Zechariah 4:6
So, when in the deepest darkness, you cannot overcome by your own strength. That is Zechariah 4:6. Israel was rebuilding the temple, but had stopped and fallen into despair. Then God spoke through the prophet Zechariah: “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit.” They held to this covenant, and fulfillment began. In between, very important words were given.

5) John 14:16, 16:13
Jesus spoke repeatedly at the end. Among many words, at the very end, He said, “It is to your advantage that I go away. The Counselor, the Holy Spirit, will be with all believers.” Do not forget this. The Holy Spirit will make you understand all things. Right? This is how pastors carry out their ministry—with this power. This is what pastors preach. It is the Holy Spirit who makes you understand what God has given. Why do believers pray? Because the Spirit of God is with us, He gives us understanding. That is why we are told, “Do not think too much, but pray.” If you think too much, you will certainly go the wrong way. You must turn your thoughts into prayer. These things must be explained.

6) Acts 1:8
And Jesus explained again at the end. “Will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” That is not for you to know. “You must wait for what the Father promised.” And He said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” This must be explained clearly.

7) Acts 2:17–18
How can you have this? When you hold onto this covenant and pray, amazing things happen. “Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” The same word appeared again.

8) Acts 13:1–5, Acts 16:6–10, Acts 19:1–7 (21)
How was this covenant fulfilled? As history continued, Paul followed the covenant exactly as it was. Right? He fully followed the leading of the Holy Spirit. This must be explained: “You also must go that way. That is prayer. That is worship. The Spirit of God is with you more scientifically than science itself. ‘I feel wronged.’ That is not really an unjust experience. Yielding and losing is not really losing. Winning is not really winning. Our victory is in receiving this leading (the Holy Spirit). When the way is blocked, you receive the leading to see and receive what God has prepared. To evangelize the world, you must always relive the grace of the Upper Room of Mark. That is how Paul reached Rome.” This must be explained.

9) 1 Corinthians 12:1–11 (Gifts)
And the one who received this grace most abundantly was Paul. What is this? The Spirit is one Spirit, the Spirit of God, yet He gives you unique gifts. With those, you do everything. The gifts may differ. Right? There is no need to emphasize only one. This is what it means to live.

10) Romans 16:25–27
And how far does this go? To that which was hidden for ages past, which will remain forever, and God is with you in that. This is certain.

Whatever you think, you will receive answers according to that. Beyond that, you cannot receive. I don’t know your spiritual level, but you will receive only according to your level. Right? Effort has nothing to do with it. Your answers come according to your spiritual level. So the new family, and you as well, must enjoy this. That is why personal prayer time and worship time are very important.

Then two more things must be taught.
① The world (by the power of the Holy Spirit – the seven remnants) – Lead the world by the power of the Holy Spirit. That is the seven remnants. How did Joseph overcome? “Only a man in whom is the Spirit of God.” That was it. You too, your children too, must believe like that. After seeing the fire on Mt Horeb, Moses enjoyed. Right? To the young Samuel, the amazing voice of God was heard. “From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came upon David in power.” Right? Elijah knew this, so he asked for nothing else but “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” The clever ones in Gilgal, Jericho, and Bethel were not used. Instead, Elisha prayed, “Let me have the spirit of God so that I may do it by His strength,” and he began the Dothan movement. In the end, Daniel, who always prayed holding to the Word, transformed Babylon. Right? He transformed the king. This must be remembered.

② Studies/occupation/work (Priority) – And lastly, this must be taught. Children will have studies, occupations, work, right? This must be taught. Change the priority. What is Priority? Change the order. Otherwise, it will not work. In everything, in every difficulty, in every success, you must first receive this grace. That is truly the end. Then the new family begins to receive answers. Right? If we teach them wrongly, then in fact, they will not receive answers. In some ways, we must not even teach them our own motives. We must even take that away. “I received grace because I was sick.” If they testify like that, we must change that too. “God originally called you. God called you, and that was only the occasion, not the condition. We can get sick while living, but even so, we are still God’s children. If I am sick, I am God’s child. If I am healthy, I am not? That is not true!” This is important. We must help them receive answers. When I gathered some young adults and taught them what the gospel really is and what prayer really is, history arose among them. Among those who received grace then, some are still testifying to answers today. That is not because they had something of their own. If they had something of their own, that would be a disaster. They saw the power of God within the gospel. So don’t attach conditions or reasons—just do it. Jesus said, “Only.” That means no matter how much you struggle with other things, it is all in vain. Why waste time on vanity?

Main
Here, it is good to look up the Bible together using this book (textbook). At this time, history begins again. When we look up the Word together, the greatest healing occurs for the new family, because usually we only listen to preaching one-sidedly. After giving this kind of introduction, when you look at the Word together, healing takes place. In my experience with healing ministry, memorizing Scripture and transcribing sermons brought tremendous works.

So then: ①Who is the Holy Spirit? Then ②what is the one thing we must do? Then ③how can we do it? Then ④what results come? Up to here, you must organize and explain for them to know. Without teaching them about the work of the Holy Spirit, answers to prayer, and the power of worship, most Christians do not receive answers, in my observation. They cannot evangelize. Those who go to church faithfully and follow the pastor’s messages with grace are simply continuing, but in reality, they do not know.

1. Who is the Holy Spirit?
Who is the Holy Spirit?

1) He is the Spirit of God (Joel 2:28, Acts 2:17–18).
He is the Spirit of God. Right?

2) He is the Spirit of Christ (Acts 16:7).
And He is also recorded as the Spirit of Christ in Acts 16:7.

3) He is the Spirit of truth (John 14:17).
He is called the Spirit of truth in John 14:17.

4) He is God Himself (John 14:6–17).
He is God Himself. Right? So when this work takes place, no one can block it.

5) This is the way God is with us. God’s dwelling place is the temple. Believers are the temple where God dwells. Receiving Jesus into your heart as your Lord is acceptance. Unbelievers are controlled by evil spirits inside them. Their status changes when they accept Christ. This is the way God is with us. So this must be explained. (1) “Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” This is tremendous. (2) “You could not be delivered from sin and death, but the law of the Spirit of life has set you free.” So show them this. (3) He will protect you, teach you, guide you, and make you understand. He is the Counselor…

Prayer is very important. Even during worship, there’s a difference between listening to the pastor’s sermon while praying and just listening. When the elder prays, if you just close your eyes and wait, it feels tedious. But when you participate in the prayer, it is completely different. Likewise, if you set aside specific times and pray, that is tremendous. You must first receive this power. “Will You restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?” That’s none of your business. Don’t lean on crutches. Don’t change the order. It’s not that restoration of the nation is unnecessary. But “Is that what you can do right now? Is that the order?” No. First, restore the gospel, and when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power and then bear witness. Do not reverse the order.

2. Believers have only one thing to do. This is to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).
What is the filling of the Holy Spirit?

1) You must be filled with God.
2) You must be filled with Christ.
3) Power and witness will appear.
4) World evangelization will surely be fulfilled.

In the end, it is to be filled with God. Right? What is being filled with the Holy Spirit? It is being filled with Christ. It is being filled with the power of God. Then world evangelization will surely be fulfilled. “We were filled with the Holy Spirit, but the church closed down.” Does that make sense? It must lead to evangelization.

3. How can we be filled with the Holy Spirit?
How? There are important things.

1) Only the children of God can be filled with the Holy Spirit.
The qualification has been given. God’s children are qualified to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

2) He gives to those who are saved and who believe. The children of God need only believe this fact and pray. The very fact that the Word of God is believed is proof of being filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4–8). If you are not saved, you are not qualified to be filled with the Holy Spirit. This must be explained clearly.

3) When you pray, you can be filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:13–15). If you pray at least once a day asking to be filled with the Holy Spirit, God will give you new strength and answer your prayers. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, He gives you wisdom beyond your weakness and ignorance. The children of God need only believe this fact and pray. Since you have the qualification, you are not just believing anything—you are believing this fact and praying. This is truly the filling of the Holy Spirit. This is tremendous spiritual science.

4. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, all problems are resolved.
Then what results come? Things happen in this world.

1) Acts 1:8
World evangelization takes place. This light shines throughout the world.

2) Acts 4:1–12
Especially in Acts 4:12 something important came out. It is a very important confession. This is what they come to realize: “There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” If you do not realize this, many other things will appear very important. Right? They are not wrong—Jeremiah, very important. Elijah, John the Baptist, very important. But if you don’t see Christ, you miss it. “Who do you say I am?” “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Now, what will happen to the whole world? Just wait and see. This tremendous confession was made by Peter.

3) Acts 3:1–12
This was after the healing of the cripple. It is the confession made afterward. It means Peter had assurance.

4) Acts 8:4–8
Politics cannot solve this. Theologians cannot solve this. Theologians are important. The reason theology exists is to make us see the Bible properly. The purpose of theology is to make us properly understand the grace of salvation. Beyond that, it does not help. The believers themselves must receive answers. You too must receive answers. It is by the grace of God that the church lives, people are saved, and the world is saved. Darkness is raging. “What will happen to my future?” Don’t worry about that. That is not the question of someone who is saved. Did Joseph ever ask, “How will I live?” Not once. Right? He simply went with God’s covenant, and God did the rest. People with spiritual problems worry a lot, but don’t. If you go into this covenant, you will surely stand as a witness. The reason God raises you is to raise you as a witness.

♠Conclusion: Ephesians 6:18 (Strength)
“Pray in the Spirit on all occasions.” This was said while explaining spiritual warfare. Speaking of Satan, Paul said, “Pray in the Spirit at all times.” Simply put, it means: Always receive this strength. Tell the new family: “Always” includes both good and bad. Always receive this strength. “Why is this happening to me?” That is temporary. Joseph, one day, was sold and almost killed. Temporary. But the history that remained was tremendous.

In the end, you must ask: “In every event, what does God want from you?” That must be asked. Also: “What does Satan want from you?” This must be applied to every new family. Especially to those with terminal illness: “What does Satan want from you?” The answer is clear. Then ask: “What does God want from you?” That is the answer. “In this extreme situation, Satan wants you to despair, be discouraged, fall into darkness, and die. But God has His highest interest in you. Then before whom must you stand?” This must be told especially to the truly sick. The sick are different from you. They waver back and forth. Some people say, “What’s the point of living long?” That is all a lie. When facing death, people desperately want to live. When a person faces death, their thoughts change. You must tell them: “At this last timetable, what does Satan want from you? What does God want from you? Therefore stand before God. Receive the strength that God gives!” To be “filled” means it appears in your body and your whole flesh. To be “filled with water” means overflowing with water. “Filled with food” means overflowing with food. The Bible uses this expression: “I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh.” Yes. While you live, during your life, this power will appear in your body and in your life. Believe this and pray. Then the new family will live. The best evangelism strategy is when the new family lives—they bring others. When they truly fight against darkness, then it is the cell, the team ministry. That is how real answers come.

Today, may this day be when the power of God comes upon you. I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. One more important thing—at this time, even greater answers arise. When you hold onto the covenant, after worship most people just go back to worldly things, but if you pray holding onto the covenant after worship, that is what Rockefeller did. That way, what you heard in the pastor’s sermon, the grace you received, does not leave you all week long. That is true prayer. I will pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. May this be a day of healing. Heal the unseen diseases of the body. Heal the spiritual diseases by the work of the Holy Spirit. May Your kingdom be established in every place. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

A Life Without Failures

Colossians 1:15-20. The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. ¹⁶For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. ¹⁷He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. ¹⁸And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. ¹⁹For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, ²⁰and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

If you walk with Christ, you will know no ultimate failures in life. Why is this so? Because Christ Himself is the One who came from heaven, not to carry out His own will, but to fulfill the will of God the Father who sent Him (John 6:38). His entire life, ministry, death, and resurrection testify to the truth that in Him, there is no failure, only the fulfillment of God’s perfect plan.

Jesus Christ has divine authority. He alone has the authority to forgive sins (Matthew 9:6), and He has the power to give eternal life to all who believe in Him (John 6:47). Unlike any human teacher, prophet, or religious leader, He is the One who conquered death itself. By rising from the grave, He crushed the head of Satan and destroyed the one who held the power of death (Mark 9:31; Hebrews 2:14).

Anyone who truly encountered Jesus had to acknowledge that He was no ordinary man, but the very Son of God. Pontius Pilate declared His innocence (Matthew 27:24), Judas confessed his betrayal of innocent blood (Matthew 27:4), and even the Roman centurion at the cross exclaimed, “Surely He was the Son of God!” (Matthew 27:54).

John the Baptist proclaimed Him to be “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). Peter testified that “he committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth” (1 Peter 2:22), and Paul declared that He “knew no sin” (2 Corinthians 5:21). His own disciples witnessed that even the winds and waves obeyed Him (Matthew 8:27).

While on earth, Jesus revealed the unconditional love of God. When He met a widow who had just lost her only son, His heart was moved with compassion, and He brought her son back from the dead and gave him back to her (Luke 7:11–15).

Another time, when a woman known for her sinful life poured perfume on His feet, He said of her, “Her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little” (Luke 7:47). He welcomed little children and blessed them (Mark 10:13–16). He even extended His grace toward His enemies (Luke 9:51–56).

As the True Priest, He gave His life as a ransom to break the curse of sin that brought death to the whole human race (Mark 10:45). When He hung on the cross, He carried all our failures, past, present, and future:

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed” (1 Peter 2:24).

Through His suffering, He gave us life:

“Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation” (Colossians 1:21–22).

Living apart from God leads only to failure, but through Christ, we now have peace with God:

“For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation” (Romans 5:10–11).

Not only did He die, but He rose again to give us victory over sin and death. His resurrection is the ultimate proof that He is the Christ. His death and resurrection were foretold for thousands of years and fulfilled at the appointed time. This was the turning point of human history. His work on the cross and His resurrection changed our destiny forever.

He now lives through the Holy Spirit in those He redeemed by His blood on the cross. Even now and in the ages to come, He is leading us by His Spirit. He will continue to show us the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us (Ephesians 2:7).

When the gospel is preached to the ends of the earth, He will return as King of kings and Lord of lords to establish His kingdom. He is preparing a place in heaven for those who trust in Him (John 14:1–3), and He will come again to judge the living and the dead with perfect justice and truth (Mark 14:61–62; John 5:22; Acts 1:11).

When you truly believe in the power of Christ, His authority will be revealed wherever you are. God has given us spiritual authority in His name to drive out the powers of darkness. Do not be shaken by the problems in your life, your family, or your church. Stand firm and use the authority given to you in Jesus’ name.

Who is Jesus to you? He is asking you the same question He asked His disciples, “Who do you say I am?” (Matthew 16:15). Believing about Jesus is not enough; only Jesus Himself must remain at the center of your life (Matthew 17:8). Only then will the power of Satan, sin, and hell collapse. Only then will the kingdom of God come upon you. Only then will the Holy Spirit work mightily in your life. Only then will you live a life with no regrets.

Prayer. Father, I thank You for giving me victory in Christ in every circumstance of life. Help me to hold firmly to only Christ, only Your kingdom, and only Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Church Construction Is to First Receive the Answers

Prayer Journal: May 18, 2026
2025.08.17 Sunday 2nd Service
Church Construction Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 16:13

The first person who enjoyed the blessing of temple construction was David. If you look carefully at David, you find this answer:

Temple construction – answer first
To the one who has this covenant, God first gives the answer. God will surely complete world evangelization. What matters is how we participate. Because many events happen, how we participate in world evangelization becomes the most important path. God entrusted Korea with the great blessing of world evangelization. Whenever this happens, two types of people always emerge.

We could not gain independence and were continually afflicted by Japan, China, and Russia. At such times, there were people who flattered those powers, some who used and took advantage of the situation, others who avoided it altogether, and still others who sold all their possessions and lands to devote themselves to the nation. Why was Queen Min assassinated? It was because of Russia. To put it simply, Queen Min (Empress Myeongseong) sided with Russia. When people found out that she had aligned with Russia, they killed her.

Though no one realized it at the time, God opened the door of world evangelization through Korea afterward. Surely, the construction of our temple will be completed by God. What matters is how we participate and how we pray. God gave David three missions.

Introduction – The Spirit of the Lord
From that time, it is said that David was powerfully moved by the Spirit of the Lord. What kind of mission was given to him that this happened? The phrase “powerfully moved by the Spirit of the Lord” means that everything was already finished, but it also contains something crucial.

[1. The Triune God]
The Spirit of the Triune God came upon David.

[2. The throne]
The power of the throne continually came upon David from that day forward.

[3. Victory]
Therefore, God gave him victory in everything.

[4. All answers]
Even what appeared to be suffering was actually an answer.

[5. WIOS]
In our present terminology, God gave David the system of WITH, Immanuel, and Oneness.

[6. OURS]
God gave David the system of Only, Uniqueness, and Re-Creation.

[7. Bartizan, journey, guidepost]
It is the same today. God gave David the journey of the Lord, the bartizan, and the guidepost. It could not fail. That is what it means when it says that David was powerfully moved by the Spirit of the Lord. What did David do that brought this about?

1. The mission of the Word
There are three things we must hold onto. First, David met Samuel. When he met Samuel, he received the Word, and with it, he received the mission of the living Word. He surely held onto the accurate covenant. At that time, Samuel would have explained to David what the Ark of the Covenant was and how it began. He would have also told him how the Ark had been captured by the Philistines, causing great calamity. But Samuel also explained where the Ark was now—it was in a windy place, namely, in the house of Abinadab.

2. The mission of the age
This was not just a story—it was the mission of the age. Samuel anointed David’s head with oil and told him, “You will be king.” And he added, “Prepare for the construction of the temple.”

3. The personal mission
This was David’s personal mission. From that day, David began to be powerfully moved by the Spirit of the Lord.

Main point – From that day forward
What happened from that day onward?

1. The flow of the blessing of the temple
If you read David’s Psalms, you can see the flow of the blessing of the temple.

The three feasts – This flow began with the Exodus and the three feasts. When you continually enjoy the three feasts, works of God surely arise. It is not about keeping the dates but about continually enjoying salvation, the works of the Holy Spirit, and the works of the throne. From this, you see an incredible flow.

The tabernacle-centered movement – When the great event of the Exodus occurred, a tabernacle-centered movement arose.

The Ark of the Covenant – Inside the Ark was the eternal Word of God inscribed on the stone tablets. Along with this were the jar of manna and Aaron’s staff that budded—signs that God gives life when we hold onto His Word and worship.

The Most Holy Place – The Ark was placed in the Most Holy Place, where the power of the throne was revealed.

The Holy Place – In the Holy Place were all the items that explained the grace of Christ—the table of bread, the lampstand, and more. When Christ was crucified, the veil that separated the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place was torn, granting us access to God by the name of Christ.

God gave David this tremendous flow of blessing.

2. Experience of power
From this point, David began to experience power:

Psalm 78:70–72 – Even from youth, while shepherding, God was preparing him.

1 Samuel 16:1–13 – The anointing with oil symbolized not only his kingship but the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

1 Samuel 16:23 – When David praised, evil spirits fled.

1 Samuel 17:1–47 – David overcame Goliath with ease, shocking the entire world.

Psalm 23 – Amid persecution and death, David confessed, “The Lord is my Shepherd; I lack nothing.” This was not written in comfort, but in the midst of suffering, yet full of God’s power.

3. Lifelong answer
From that time, lifelong answers began for David.

The City of David (2 Samuel 5:7) – He built the foundation for conquering the world.

The Ark of the Covenant (2 Samuel 6:1–23) – He brought the Ark into the City of David, even dancing before the Lord despite criticism.

The 1,000 bartizans – To ensure the whole nation and all remnants could pray, he built 1,000 bartizans across the land.

Preparation of the temple (three courtyards) – David prepared everything for the temple, which included the three courtyards.

Conclusion – Genesis 1:3
David’s greatest confession appears in 1 Chronicles 29:10–14. He confessed, “Everything we have comes from God. We only gave what You first gave us.” We too must hold onto the covenant that God continually works with the power of creation from Genesis 1:3.

1 Samuel 16:1–13 – Lifelong decision – David made a lifelong decision that day.

1 Chronicles 29:10–14 – Lifelong offering – David gave a lifelong offering, not just a momentary one.

Lifelong preparation for posterity – David did not complete the temple himself but made lifelong preparation for posterity. Because of this, Solomon later built the temple, and the eyes of the entire world were fixed on it.

Today’s Word
This week, we must hold onto today’s living Word. Once, when Korea was in extreme poverty, missionaries still proclaimed, “Korea is the nation that will carry out world evangelization. Do not just receive—prepare for world evangelization.” That covenant has been fulfilled. Today, Koreans are everywhere in the world. Korean food, culture, and language are spreading globally. Even this is God opening the doors for world evangelization.

At this time, we must prepare the three courtyards for the posterity and for the world. If you just hold onto the covenant, answers will surely come. Then, all the results can be returned to God. This was David’s confession.

Prayer. Lord, may Your living Word work in our lives this week. May healing arise by the power of the Word. May the blessing of creation take place by the power of the Word. May all darkness be bound. May all curses be broken. May only the gospel be proclaimed to the entire world. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Raise the Bartizan

2025.08.17 District Message 33rd Week
PART 4 ‘The Watchman to Save the World’
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 62:6-10

Many remnants suffer because of their family situations or circumstances around them. They often ask, “What should I do in such difficult times?” Yet, outside the home, there may be even greater challenges. If they keep asking the same questions then, there will be no way forward. Many also carry scars. They ask, “How do I heal from this?” but in truth, it is very difficult to erase scars. People say, “Change your destiny,” but how? They don’t know. And how can they even confirm if their destiny has changed? People say, “Block future disasters.” But how? They say, “Prepare for the future.” But how do we prepare? These vague questions arise again and again.

“Secret Bartizan” – Testimony
That is why Jesus gave us the answer: Build the secret bartizan. It is called “secret” because it is not something visible. What about destiny? If you build this bartizan, it disappears. You cannot drive darkness out just by telling it to leave. But when light comes in, the darkness goes out. What about the future? If you overthink it, you will only worry, because the future is not here yet. But when you build this bartizan, you no longer need to worry about the future. In other words, no matter what problem comes, it will be okay. There is testimony of this. The church endured 250 years of persecution and it was okay. The Jews opposed until the end, but it was okay. Later, persecution spread worldwide, but it was still okay. Why? Because they had this bartizan. Even destiny is overturned. It does not matter. This is definite evidence.

So today, you can easily build this secret bartizan because it is built with prayer and the Word. That is why it is simple. The answer of how to build this must be found in today’s first service. But here, we must know the secret. Why is this necessary?

▣ Introduction: Nephilim
Without realizing it, we had already been used by the Nephilim bartizan.

[7 Bartizans (It is finished – the throne)]
[7 Journeys (Lifelong camp)]
[7 Guideposts (Rome, 237, 5000)]

That is why we speak of these important seven bartizans. If you just pray properly, they will be built. What is the key among the seven bartizans? Jesus said, “It is finished.” No destiny is needed. Past, present, and future are finished. For 40 days He explained that we will be with Him in the background of the throne. That is my bartizan.

If your scars become your bartizan, what happens? That is why people with special trauma must especially concentrate to receive grace—otherwise their trauma itself becomes a bartizan. Our bartizan must be this (the introduction).

What is the most important among the seven journeys? The lifelong camp of enjoying the answer. That is the answer. A camp is to shine the light—saving others and saving yourself because it is light. And the most important among the guideposts is Rome. This can mean the actual city Rome, but why Rome? Why do we send our people to America, to Europe? Why? Because in Rome, the 237 nations are gathered. And when you go to the 237 nations, the 5000 tribes are there. That is why we use the term Rome.

As we now head toward the 5000 tribes, if you go there on your own, you cannot survive even three days. That is why God is attaching to us people from the island nations of Oceania. They are the pathway. And the TCKs you are meeting are also the pathway to the 5000 tribes.

Many scholars predict—and I also see it this way—that the greatest crisis in the future will not only be war but epidemics. Perhaps in the future our posterity may have to wear masks all their lives. COVID-19 was just one example. We do not know what else may come. And all these things, if we do not help, will come from the 5000 tribes. Do you know the average lifespan in the 5000 tribes? It is 25 years. If we go there, we cannot survive even three days. But also, all the natural resources of the future are in the 5000 tribes. That is why people like Bill Gates are investing tens of trillions there. This (introduction) is the reason.

1. RT 7
This answer already existed long ago. Did it really? Yes, the 7 remnants already had this answer. They received this blessing and went to the 237 nations and the 5000 tribes. Moses realized it later than others, but he too discovered it.

2. Jochebed and Hannah
Women like Jochebed and Hannah also saw this. Who else saw it?

3. 1 Samuel 7:1-15; 16:1-13; 17:1-47
Samuel saw it. And then David saw it. That is why David had the power to defeat Goliath. But more important than that was the fact that the Philistines were spreading massive idolatry and disaster. Goliath even cursed Israel in the name of their god. That was no ordinary thing—it was deeply spiritual. And he specifically demanded: “Let someone who believes in the Lord come out.” That was a spiritual battle. So David said to Goliath, “I come to you in the name of the Lord whom you have defied. I will prove that your life belongs to the Lord, and that salvation is not in the sword but in the hand of the Lord.”

So your worship and prayer today are no ordinary matter. They are great spiritual blessings and conversations. You may not think much of yourself, but you are called to be someone who shines this tremendous light.

▣ Main
Therefore, this covenant and worship are not ordinary. If you enjoy this covenant (the introduction), three things will surely come.

1. Platform
First, you personally, and in your work, will receive a different answer—God will build a platform that others cannot but come to.

1) 7 Bartizans – There must be bartizans for people to come.
2) 300% – God will give you the 300% answer to save yourself, others, and the future.
3) Monument – Beyond that, God will give you the blessing of a monument that will save posterity.

This is why Joseph never said, “I am great.” Instead, he said something greater: “The Lord is with me.” “The Lord is with me in all my work. The Lord is with me wherever I go.” Though it may sound unbelievable, it was the truth. And you must enjoy this blessing not tomorrow but today. Gain strength now. Pray now.

2. Watchman Bartizan
From then on, you will save others—not just drawing them to come to you, but going out to them. That is the watchman bartizan, shining the light.

1) 7 Journeys – You must have light to go on the journey. In the dark, you cannot go anywhere. With light, you can move forward.
2) Healing – When you shine the light, those in darkness are healed.
3) Summit – Because you shine the light to save others, you become the summit.

Especially remnants scattered across the U.S., Europe, and the world must firmly hold on to this covenant. Do not listen to other voices. Hold firmly to the covenant given by Christ. To the point of healing, to the point of becoming summit, to the point of overturning destiny—hold to it now.

3. Antenna of the Throne
Finally, the antenna is established that communicates with the throne. This is not just any antenna—it is the antenna of the throne. Only then can you understand what true prayer is.

1) 7 Guideposts – With this antenna, you move toward the 7 guideposts, building and establishing along the way.
2) Absolute Bartizans – From Mt Calvary to Rome, absolute bartizans were built. Sometimes it was a mission home, sometimes an RUTC, sometimes a regional church.
3) Mission home, regional church, RUTC – Especially in America, there are places without churches, or churches without gospel movement. That is why remnants are shaken. Some feel completely alone. But you must hold the covenant today: “I am the mission home, I am the regional church, I am the RUTC.” Your home can be the mission home. Invite children, friends, even their parents. That is RUTC. If you miss this blessing, later people will come to you with hidden illnesses and spiritual problems because they have nowhere else to go. That is why this is called the regional church. It is one of the three.

▣ Conclusion
In conclusion, the blessings that come when you build this bartizan are three:

237, 5000, TCK.

This is what comes. How? Just like a SIM card in your phone connects you worldwide, the light of life within you is designed to shine to the world.

May you enjoy this blessing today, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. Let today be a day of healing. Let today be a day of experiencing Your power. Let today be the greatest day. Let today be the day we hold the covenant and receive spiritual strength. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Prayer of the Week: August 17, 2025

Lord, thank You for giving us the living and active Word that defeats Satan, sustains us in hardship, and leads us in worship and prayer. Help us, like Daniel and his three friends, to hold fast to Your covenant, trust in Your promises, and shine Your light to the nations. Teach us not to be deceived by the things of the world or trials and crises but to stand firm in Christ who overcame the power of Satan, sin, and hell. Strengthen our remnants, church leaders, and all nations to rise, restore, and testify to the gospel that Jesus is the Christ. Help us to continue to experience the power of Your living Word and advance world evangelization.

May the Triune God work powerfully within me.
Take full control of my soul, heart, thoughts, and body.
Let the power of Your throne come upon me, and may Your kingdom be established in and through my life.
May Your power that transcends time and space—the power to reach all 237 nations and 5,000 tribes—rest upon me.
Let this heavenly power come to my life, my soul, and every part of my living.
May unprecedented and never-repeated answers be revealed in my studies, work, church, and mission field.
Let the power of Your divine work cover my past, present, and future.

May the strength to build the three courtyards come upon me.

Lead me on the path of the Triune God.

Amid hardships, help me enjoy the Ten Mysteries so I may find the path You are leading me on.

People say and do whatever they think is right. May the Ten Foundations be firmly established in me.

Nothing can defeat the power of the Gospel. May the Five Assurances be the answer for me.

I must change America [replace it with your mission field]. Help me enjoy the Nine Streams of the Throne.

Grant me the answer to enjoy for the rest of my life as I live the life of the evangelist.

I’m going to [replace it with your mission field]. May every place and meeting become the camp of the throne.

May the power of the cross, the power of the blood, come to every place You send me.

May the covenant of the Mount of Olives, the things of the kingdom of God, be fulfilled in every place You send me.

May Your work, which took place in Mark’s Upper Room, take place in every place You send me.

May Your time schedule for Antioch appear.

May Your work, which took place in Asia, Paul’s first mission field, where he could find all the answers, be accomplished.

Help me discover the life-turning point that Paul’s team experienced.

Grant me the grace to see Rome as well.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
