Theme: The Watchman Who Prepares in Advance (Isaiah 62:6–12)

Message 3: “The Watchman Who Prepares for the Future – Young Adults of the Age of Crisis (The Early Church)”

---

Introduction: Prepare for what comes after success (300% completion)
24, 25, eternity, execution, secret → three courtyards

▶ At last, God has prepared for the future and has set you up as watchmen. So let me state the title from the start: “Young Adults of the Age of Crisis.” In the future, an age of crisis will come. That is why we must prepare for the future. You must remember Lectures 1, 2, and 3 well. Because an age of crisis will come, you must be young adults of the age of crisis. Here are a few things you must certainly take note of. This (Lecture 3) is about the early church. The previous one (Lecture 2) was about the era of the monarchy.

▶ Prepare for what comes after success (300% completion) → 24/25/eternity/execution/secret – three courtyards
Here’s something you must think about. What did the older generation miss? This is how you must pray. It is about preparing for what comes after success. Success is not our goal. That is a given, but we prepare for what comes after success. That is the difference. If you prepare for what comes after success, you will be 300% ready. This is not difficult at all. Why is that? Here it is again: 24/25/eternity and execution are the very completion of 300%. You must not just hold onto this secret; you must make it into something. Make it so that you become the main figures of the three-day weekend age. There are three things this time. The second is the three courtyards, right? The first one (Lecture 1) was about firmly establishing the prayer bartizan and the movement of holy meditation. That is how it must be done.

▶ If you pray with the three courtyards as your goal, God will certainly complete the 300% for you. I have experienced this for over 30 years. I was very poor and had no background. Others were in a better position than I was. I wanted to study more, but I was in no situation to do so. My friend went abroad to study, but I couldn’t go. At that time, I discovered something important. If God does not let me go, then I will not go; I will go somewhere better. Where did I go? Two places. At that time, riding the bus was wonderful for me—it was books and the field. Every day, fortunately, on my way home from school, our church was in the middle. I would drop off my bag and go to the field every day, carrying my books. I received tremendous grace. That’s when I saw this (300%). So it’s possible. It’s never difficult. While I was between university and graduate school, this was my target. This is what Christ promised—not just 24, but the three courtyards: the courtyard of the Gentiles, the courtyard of children, and the prayer and healing courtyard. You must find this.

▶ Introduction – The Three Stages of the Bartizan of Light
Now, an important answer comes. What is it? A three-stage bartizan of light will emerge. Are there really stages? No. Why does Pastor Ryu have so many terms? Sorry, but when you have many children, you must give them names. If no one is born, there’s nothing to name. When you go to many fields, you need to know the names of those places. What does this mean? You must do your best, work hard, challenge yourself, and study. That is the first stage. Right? That is stage one. But don’t get stuck there. You should not live your walk of faith like that. That, too, is God’s grace, but it is still the first stage. What is the second stage? Our thoughts, ideas, and convictions. These are important, right? But this is not the ultimate answer either. It is the second stage. You must see this.

When you see this, the third stage of the bartizan of light emerges.

1. The seven remnants (young adults)
   ▶ This is what the seven remnants saw. They surely saw it. When these remnants became young adults, they saved the world.
2. Mt Olive (Acts 1:1–14)
   ▶ But Jesus summed up this blessing and delivered it on Mt Olive.
3. Paul (Philippians 3:1–21)
   ▶ Who caught this the best? It was Paul. That’s why God entrusted the world to him. In Philippians 3, he made his full confession. He spoke about his upbringing. None of it was wrong. He also explained how he had joined Judaism and had a deep life of faith. But that’s not the main point here; it’s about this third stage. From there came the statement, “Our citizenship is in heaven…”

▶ So now, even when you worship, you must make it a habit to enter into deep prayer and deep breathing for your health. If you do that, it’s amazing. When I read a book, I’m looking down. I’m also looking down at my phone and my computer. The tremendous aftereffects of this were revealed in a paper by a certain doctor. As long as your lower abdomen is engaged, it’s okay to read even in this position. If you always pray and, for older people, keep the lower abdomen engaged, your blood pressure may rise a bit. For younger people, it doesn’t rise. So it’s fine. Always gain strength and enter into the level of prayer. Don’t worry about the future; it’s certain.

Main Message – At This Time, Three Things Will Come

1. Standard for your work
▶ The bartizan of light will come upon your work. It will be connected like this. This is very important; it will come upon your work. Then the five secrets will begin to appear. This work will also have standards.

1) 237 nations – It must align with the 237. This will be even more so in the future.

2) 5000 tribes – It must align with the 5000 tribes.

3) Kings – It must align with kings.
▶ Right now, there’s no need to meet kings. In the age of the internet, that will come naturally when the time comes. This is the standard for your work. Without a doubt, it’s true. A certain female student once sent a letter to the Queen of England long ago, saying, “I love England, I want to go to England, and I want to study in England.” Usually, such letters don’t reach the Queen, but it reached her hand. The Queen was moved and sent an invitation, instructing her staff to help this girl study in England. Why? Because the Queen was pleased—if we love God and love the gospel, this will surely happen.

2. Church (the three-day weekend age)
▶ Then this comes. The light will now come upon the church, and you will begin to carry out ministry. This is called the three-day weekend age. In the three-day weekend age, you must have the answer, right? That’s the church. In the three-day weekend age, what comes from here?

1) Synagogue, lecture hall, marketplace
▶ Why did Paul go to the synagogue? Here’s another thing. Why did he go to the lecture hall? That’s a slightly higher level. Why did he go to the marketplace? These important points emerge. The marketplace is related to the economy.

2) Healing, summit, flow
▶ What must you do during the three-day weekend? Healing, raising remnants as the summit. What about Sunday? Ride the flow of saving the 237 and the 5000 tribes. This is the answer you will receive. In a sense, it will be confirmed.

3) Works (heritage)
▶ If you try to do this properly in the church, it’s hard, right? There are elders above you, so you can’t do as you please. If young adults try to do everything, they’ll say, “Why are these kids acting up?” So you can’t do it. And you don’t have a lot of money prepared. Nor do you have remnants following you. But you are in an important position. That’s why I say—create works. Then it’s over. This is what you must make into your eternal heritage. Turn works into heritage.

▶ You can do this now. If a musician has great works, no one can stop them. So if you truly create works in prayer, they will go global. You just haven’t seized this part, but it can be done easily. In a way, because the older generation has all missed this, you must not miss it. Our older generation couldn’t help it; they had to succeed. That’s unavoidable, right? But you must not be like that. Prepare for what comes after success. People may not understand this well, but you must. Right now, I’m preparing for how to carry on this movement when the first generation steps back. Right? When the first generation steps back, how will you young adults and our future generations carry on this movement? I’m preparing for that step by step. You must prepare for what comes next.

3. Future
▶ From this point, this emerges. The economy of light and the three stages of the bartizan will come before your future. If you fall too far behind, you can’t catch up. Through prayer, God promised to show you what is to come. If I truly pray, I can see the future. This is the future Paul saw.

1) Christ
▶ In the synagogue, he explained why this term “Christ” was the answer.

2) Sabbath
▶ In the synagogue, he explained what the Sabbath truly meant—true worship and prayer.

3) Kingdom
▶ In the synagogue, he explained what the Kingdom of God was. This began to spread worldwide to the scattered peoples.

▶ If you are enjoying this answer, you will go out to the world. It’s certain. You must be doing this even now. You can do it when times are hard and also easily when times are good. Because this is missed, many important people spend their 24 hours worrying about the world, and then when problems come, it’s too late. When a serious problem comes and I face destruction, then it’s too late. Of course, even then, through prayer, you can change it by God’s power. But unbelievers collapse at that time. Since you already have all the answers, you must be different from middle and high school students. You are already people of the field.

Conclusion: Always
▶ What is the conclusion? It goes back to the same point. Always—this is the conclusion. It’s the start and the conclusion. It’s something you do always.

1. Prayer 24/25/eternity
   ▶ Always—no one can take it from you. If you are doing it now, that’s enough. If it’s taken away, it’s because you let Satan take it. But otherwise, it won’t be taken. Always do it.
2. Healing 24/25/eternity
   ▶ Healing of myself and the field—24/25/eternity. This must be done always.
3. Globalization/Evangelization – 24/25/eternity
   ▶ Globalization—possible through prayer. Evangelization—these two must be combined for world evangelization. You can’t have world evangelization without globalization, and you can’t have globalization without evangelization. The combination of the two is world evangelization. Always—one day it will come. “I, the Lord, will do it swiftly in its time” (Isaiah 60:20–22), “The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord; in its time I will do this swiftly!”

▶ This is the covenant that you young adults must seriously hold onto. You must not fail to hold it. If you don’t, later in life you will end up working errands for unbelievers. That must not happen, right? After all the messages you’ve heard and after you’ve guarded the gospel, if later in life you end up running errands for unbelievers or Satan, does that make sense? Because of you, churches will be revived. Because of you, evangelists will gain strength—that’s the Romans 16 people. Because of you, future generations will gain strength—that’s the three-day weekend age. Because of you, the multiethnic peoples of the world will gain strength—that’s the three courtyards. Let us give a round of applause to glorify our Triune God. Let us pray.

Prayer. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, the infinite love of God, and the working of the power of the Holy Spirit be with all our young adults who will fulfill 24/25/eternity, with the young adults who will save the world, with the young adults who will revive the church and future generations, now and forevermore. Amen.

Introduction
The work of God’s kingdom – the throne (40 days) → 24/25/00/300%/secret
Bartizan – Journey – Guidepost
→ The absolute bartizan of the three courtyards

The overall theme of this conference has been “Watchman Who Prepares in Advance.”
Every year, as we hold the World Young Adults Conference, we gain strength. We also enjoy various festivals and give presentations. However, because your time is limited, you must prepare with a calm heart.

What must you prepare? I will give two lectures in a row. In this second lecture, although each of you has personal difficulties, the truth remains: you are watchmen who prepare for the age. You are not simply remnants preparing for the future — you are watchmen who go beyond that.

In the first lecture, we looked at watchmen who guarded biblical history.

---

What is the thing that the older generation most easily overlooks? If you do not prepare now, you will end up the same way. I’m not saying all older believers are like this — in fact, because of them you are receiving answers. But generally speaking, when they fail to hold on to what Christ has given, they inevitably end up living by the ways of the world. They have no choice — they must live in the world. But by living according to worldly methods, their core naturally shifts.

It may sound lofty to say they have fallen into Genesis 3, 6, and 11, but in reality, this is what happens: life becomes increasingly difficult. It is as if this (worldly method) becomes the main subject. Even when going to church, instead of hearing God’s voice and His amazing works, people mostly hear about urgent physical concerns.

We don’t intentionally choose to live by the ways of the world — it just happens. But do you know what a completely heretical group like Shincheonji says in criticism of today’s traditional churches? They point at us and say, “They don’t live the life of faith — they live for the flesh!” Of course they are wrong, but we must admit there are lessons even in the words of those who are wrong.

They have even gone as far as to say something extreme — that pastors in Korean churches have not studied theology. Instead, they studied “humanology” — human-centered learning — knowing only about people and not about God. While it is a serious problem for anyone to be deceived by such falsehood, it is also a problem if we ourselves fail to hold on to the truth. We must know exactly what is wrong — both in the enemy and in ourselves.

If you trace this problem back to its root, you find yourself in Judaism, where the gospel began. Judaism was focused on keeping the law but did not understand what original sin was. Original sin means that humanity has been separated from God, fallen into destruction, and become slaves to Satan. God has provided only one way of salvation — Christ — the lifeline of salvation. He tells us to believe this because we cannot obtain or create salvation ourselves.

But the idea of “being saved by faith” made no sense to them. They thought, “Shouldn’t you live correctly to be saved?” Of course we should live rightly — but everyone has problems. The Jews pointed at those problems and criticized. So when Christ came and said He would forgive their sins, they thought, “How can You forgive sins? You need to repent yourself!” To an unbeliever, the Pharisees’ words sounded more reasonable.

This is how spiritual disaster struck the nation of Israel. The Bible records only the disasters that befell them — and the few who survived when they realized the gospel. Despite such clear revelation, they lost hold of all things spiritual. That is why you must not miss this point while you are still young.

---

The work of God’s kingdom (40 days – the throne) → Bartizan / Journey / Guidepost
After Jesus declared, “It is finished,” He called the disciples to the Mount of Olives. There, for 40 days, He spoke about this. Why do we lose hold of this? If something is important, we must not miss it — and He spoke about it for 40 days.

The disciples could not fully understand it at the time. If a spiritual problem comes, and you don’t even know why it is happening, what will happen to you when you become an adult? You will be shaken. And when you are shaken, you will start blaming the church, or attacking others when they make mistakes, or criticizing your spouse when family problems arise.

On the Mount of Olives, Jesus gave an incredible message. In one word, it was this: the throne — how it comes, and how to set your eyes upon it. He told them to build an unshakable bartizan in their hearts, to journey with that bartizan, and to set up key bartizans in various places to save each era — these are the guideposts. In Acts 1:8, He explained it in detail.

If you lose hold of this, you will never make it.

---

Introduction – The Ends of the Earth (5000 tribes)
Why did Jesus specifically say “to the ends of the earth”? We must listen carefully to His words and set our direction accordingly. Paul understood “the ends of the earth” to mean going as far as Spain — and that was fine. But for us today, the ends of the earth means the places we cannot reach.

We must open our eyes to the 5000 tribes that remain unreached. The 237 nations can be reached — even if we ourselves don’t go, there are missionaries there. But these 5000 tribes are covered in darkness and are shaking the entire world. If we don’t go, the Nephilim will completely consume them. The great powers have taken over these tribes and use them at will.

This is the reality you must quickly discern.

1. David – 1 Samuel 17:1–47
David received more than one or two answers from God, but let us look at one specific example. He stood as a witness before King Saul — this is the kind of blessing you must catch.

When Goliath attacked Israel, he proposed a challenge — a condition for battle. In history, some wars break out suddenly, but often conditions are set first. Most commonly, it is over disputed land: “That land belongs to us — give it to us or we will attack.” This is happening now between Ukraine and Russia — “Donbas belongs to us because our people live there.”

Goliath’s condition was to avoid wasting manpower and resources: “Let’s fight one-on-one. If I lose, we Philistines will serve you; if you lose, you serve us.” And he mocked Israel for 40 days. Not a single person stepped forward to fight — not even King Saul. Even offering wealth and his daughter in marriage to the man who would defeat Goliath changed nothing.

David came, bringing food from his father to his brothers, and heard Goliath’s mockery. He decided on his own to fight. When he told his brothers, they scolded him harshly: “You arrogant boy!” When he told the commander, the man reluctantly passed the message to Saul.

Saul was incredulous: “He is a warrior and you are just a youth.” But David replied, “The Lord rescued me from the paw of the lion and the bear; He will rescue me from this Philistine who defies Him. Let me go.” Saul agreed, though even his armor did not fit David.

David ran to the battlefield with only a sling and a staff. Goliath scoffed: “Do you think I am a dog, coming at me with sticks?” But David made a crucial confession of faith:
“You come against me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, whom you have defied. I will prove that life and victory are in the hand of the Lord, and all the earth will know that the Lord is God.”

Before Goliath could react, David slung a stone that struck his forehead. Then, without a sword of his own, he took Goliath’s sword and cut off his head. Carrying the head, David went before the king. Saul, astonished, asked, “Whose son are you?” — not because he didn’t know, but because the feat was so remarkable. David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.”

This is the kind of blessing God has prepared for you — to stand before kings and save the 5000 tribes.

---

2. Obadiah – 1 Kings 18:1–15
Because of Obadiah, Elijah survived. Because of him, Elisha arose, and the Dothan Movement took place. In the midst of an overwhelming crisis, Obadiah hid 100 prophets that King Ahab had ordered to be killed — an incredible act.

It is still a mystery how Ahab did not find out. Could he truly have been ignorant? Or did he know and choose not to act? The Bible gives no clear answer. Perhaps one day in heaven we can ask Obadiah directly.

---

3. Elisha – 2 Kings 2:9–11
Elisha, in my view, did something even greater than the Dothan Movement. What you must hold onto is this:
“Let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” He was not asking for Bethel or Jericho, but for double the spiritual power Elijah had.

If this prayer is established in you now while you are young, you will surely save the 237 nations and the 5000 tribes. This gathering here is not man-made or accidental — God is raising remnants worldwide. You must open your eyes to see it.

---

4. Babylon – Daniel 1:8–9; Esther 2:10; 4:1–16
In Babylon, all the Israelites taken captive rose to high positions. Two verses are particularly important. In Daniel 1:8, Daniel “resolved” — he set his heart. You must be such people. Decide firmly; God will do the rest.

In Esther 2:10, Mordecai told Esther, who had become queen, “Do not reveal that you are a Jew.” Strangely, in Esther 4, when the Jews were about to be annihilated, Mordecai told her, “Now, reveal that you are a Jew.” He added, “If you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

Esther replied, “If I perish, I perish.” This is historical fact. Whenever the church faces difficulty, remember: for such a time as this — you are called to save.

---

Conclusion – Even Now
Your most important task is always the same: enjoy prayer (the covenant diagram) even now. This is both the beginning and the conclusion. Many people lose hold of it. It is right to pray when a problem arises, but more important is to see the world from within prayer.

When a great crisis comes — even something like a terminal diagnosis — yes, pray then. But far more important is to have already gained strength through prayer before the crisis comes. That is the greater preparation.

Theme: The Watchman Who Prepares in Advance

Message 1: Watchman Who Prepares for the Age – Young Adults of of the Patriarchal Age (Isaiah 62:6–12)

♠ Introduction: Three things the older generation misses
Mechanism of prayer
Prayer = Thought
My thoughts (Genesis 3, 6, 11)
Bartizan – Journey – Guidepost
24 / 25 / Eternity / Practice / Mystery
Enjoyment – Waiting – Challenge
Absolute enterprise
Prayer
Life
Small answers
Trap of doctrine
Chosen people, Yahweh, Messiah, Law, tradition, system

▶ “The watchman who prepares in advance”—what must we prepare?
First, there are three things that cannot be done once a person becomes the older generation. If these are missed, it becomes difficult. Since you will also one day be the older generation, you may ask, “Then can’t we grow old with God’s power?” That’s another question. You simply need to know why it doesn’t work when one becomes the older generation. Mental illness doesn’t heal easily, right? If you know why it doesn’t heal, then you can address it. It’s just that people don’t realize why it doesn’t heal. When someone has a mental illness, they get trapped in their own world and keep obsessing over what is wrong. And those around them contribute to it. Going to church once and attending a service doesn’t fix it either. If the two are combined, the person will never be healed for the rest of their life. But if you understand this fact, then healing becomes possible. When you reach the stage of being the older generation, you will also be in that position and may not be able to do well. This is why it’s so important that you know this now.

▶ Mechanism of prayer – what must be prepared? Let me first give the conclusion.
① Prayer = Thought (My thoughts – Genesis 3, 6, 11) → Prayer is very important for us right now. But everyone has thoughts. That’s important. Everyone has thoughts, but usually they are our own thoughts. And we often don’t realize it. When we operate on our own thoughts, we fall into Genesis 3. This happens to anyone. Even those who are saved, if they proceed based on their own thoughts, they will end up on that path. Later they realize they’ve been caught by something entirely different—that’s the Nephilim. Without even realizing it, everyone here judges according to their own thoughts. But if you change just this, tremendous things will happen. In simple terms, I am talking about the mechanism of prayer. There are three conditions for receiving answers in prayer. If we miss this, we end up in Genesis 11—the Tower of Babel. It hardly ever works out.

② Small answers, trap of doctrine → This leads to another problem. People focus on small answers from the past—“Let’s do this, let’s do that, this is how it should be.” They also have doctrines, which could be considered theology. These are good in themselves, but they can become traps. You may receive real answers, but if they become a trap, that’s when it won’t connect with the older generation. When your black hair starts turning white…

③ Chosen people, Yahweh, Messiah, Law, tradition, system → This mindset leads to ruin. “We are the chosen people”—it sounds good, but people die spiritually because of this. You can die because of the answers you’ve received, so you must beware. Young people often don’t understand this, and older people don’t either. The time to understand this is in your youth. Many elders in the church make sacrifices and serve with their own thoughts without realizing this. A pastor is supposed to lead elders and the church in God’s direction. But when these merge, the work doesn’t go well. That’s why young people must rise up knowing what prayer, the Word, and evangelism really are. The danger is seen in the Jews: they received many answers, but ended up claiming, “Our God is the God of our nation.” Their Messiah was not the Savior of all nations, but one who would save only their own nation and destroy the others. And they were convinced of this. The wrong convictions of the older generation—even with evidence—are dangerous. Do you know why Israel fell? It was because of the Kibbutz movement, which moved the world at one time. Because of it, they rejected the gospel. Rejection is one thing, but they dismissed it outright, which is far worse. Young people, the little answers you have now are not the important thing—you must be in the important path. Think carefully about this. The Jews had more than 100 rules for keeping just one Sabbath. They insisted on traditions that had nothing to do with God’s Word, and even created systems. Because of this, the next generation suffered disaster seven times. Yet, in each such time, young people arose with the gospel to save the world. When remnants grew up into young adults, changes happened. If you become a church leader, you can bring change.

▶ But if you don’t know this, whether you become a church leader or not, you’ll still act on your own thoughts. The best gift God gave man over animals is thought, but the most dangerous thing is my own thought. Even with answers and many blessings, your own thoughts can still ruin things. This is why many pastors calculate—“Is this profitable? Is that profitable?”—and then make moves accordingly. Han Feizi once told his king, “Your Majesty, all people live for one word—profit. If something is profitable for them, they will do anything. If someone seems too strong, you must cut them down early. If you leave them alone, when the time comes they will turn against you. If someone does wrong, punish them severely so that others will not dare to act for their own profit.” It sounds reasonable, but Han Feizi also died that way.

④ Bartizan + Journey + Guidepost / 24 + 25 + Eternity + Practice + Mystery / Enjoyment + Waiting + Challenge – Absolute enterprise → Replace your own thoughts with what God has already prophesied and established long ago: His bartizan, journey, and guidepost. In this conference, if you complete the 300% work of enjoying the blessings of 24, 25, and eternity, and keep the mystery, then great things happen. But why is it not working? Because people do not truly understand this. For example, before Mark’s Upper Room Church, there was Dongkwang Church. One pastor there was arrested by police on the way home from leading dawn prayer—caught stealing from someone’s house. Imagine the shock for the congregation—it was a total mental collapse. The pastor’s messages were reportedly excellent, but spiritually he was undone, leading him to commit theft. This is not to excuse him, but to understand what really happened spiritually.

▶ The world is full of these things. That’s why you young people must realize, “Ah, this is the first thing the older generation cannot do.” That’s why they constantly talk about the past—they are trapped there. The most difficult people to deal with are the self-made people. When they think of success, they live their faith based on that self-made success. Beyond that, there is no other answer. It must be changed.

Last Sunday in the first service I said this: Paul was a remarkable man. He was proud of having graduated from the highest university, trained under the greatest leader, gained the highest position, and been in line to be an important national representative in the future. That satisfaction is what made a Pharisee. But Paul was not satisfied with that—he began the Jewish movement. Many influential figures emerged from that movement, but that still was not the answer. Paul realized this. He said, “I consider it all rubbish, I count it as loss,” and looked toward what lay ahead. “I never knew the word ‘Christ.’ Up until now I only thought about what I would accomplish—but I realize I have not already obtained it, I have been taken hold of by Christ. I only knew earthly things, but now I understand the prize of the upward call. I once thought Roman citizenship was great, but now I know what heavenly citizenship is. I consider everything loss.” What a tremendous message.

▶ Everything must be torn down. Of all who heard what Jesus taught on Mt Olive, only one person actually put it into practice—Paul. Jesus spent 40 days explaining about the kingdom of God, and in Acts 19:8, the only one who boldly proclaimed the kingdom of God was Paul. That’s why, to our remnants, I said in this conference: hold on to two real lifelines—hold on to the lifeline of prayer that saves yourself, and the lifeline that saves your brain, body, and life. That is 24. Then God will surely work—that is 25. Then you will see the eternal and challenge toward it.

That’s why people find it hard to enjoy, to wait, and to challenge. These don’t come easily. In recent years, God’s plan permitting, there were those who tried to destroy us with more than 100 lies over several years—inciting other organizations to spread them. They said that young people were the ones most shaken. I was shocked—“The young people are shaken?” If your church truly does the evangelism movement, there will be many things that happen. But you must not be shaken. You must enjoy, wait, and challenge.

Waiting is the thing Koreans do worst—this is why we have never won a Nobel Prize and why we cannot dominate the global market. Among the world’s top 100 economic leaders, there is no Korean. Japan, for example, has Honda. People fail to wait because they cannot enjoy. If you are truly enjoying something real, then waiting becomes possible, and you can challenge toward the eternal.

▶ Remember this: I am giving the conclusion in the introduction—so don’t miss it. This is not my own word—look at the Bible. The biggest problem is that the answers we have received become the problem. Israel always said, “Do you know who we are? We are the chosen people. We defeated Egypt. We survived the wilderness.” They were stuck in that, but lost the gospel. Do not be such people. The youth stage is the most important time. Whether you will become the pastor’s arms and pillars in the future is in your hands. When you become a church leader, don’t talk about how much the pastor spends—give him a card and say, “Pastor, use this freely for evangelism and missions.” Such church leaders must arise. I’m not saying this because I love money—I don’t need money. I’ve traveled to so many conference sites, always well-fed, often too full to eat. But most pastors cannot do evangelism or missions—not because they don’t want to, but because they lack money. When they see someone in crisis, they want to help but cannot.

So in this first message, what should you see? The overall title is not just “preparation”—there is always History in the covenant. You are the watchman who guards this. If you miss this, it is disastrous. Israel lost not only the covenant but also the History of the covenant. But among them arose young people who rediscovered the covenant. I will highlight just three important parts today—the young adults of the Patriarchal Age. The Bible is divided into three eras: the Patriarchal Age with many important figures; the Monarchical Age, beginning with King Saul; and finally the Early Church Age.

▶ Introduction – History
In this first session, we must see how the young adults of the Patriarchal Age lived.

1. Flow
   ▶ This is why I use the word “history”—because there is always a flow. You must hold this and judge history accordingly. No matter how much you work, if you are in a different flow, you are in a different place.
2. Reformation
   ▶ These young people did not focus on “revolution” but on finding the original, what belongs to God. In some ways, it was not “information,” nor was it “ex-formation” that spreads outward. You must find this original thing.
3. Baton
   ▶ They took hold of the baton to pass it on.

▶ Young people must know this—if this truly becomes the answer in your prayer, then what you receive is not just any enterprise but an absolute enterprise. This blessing will bring it. It’s very easy—hold on to just two lifelines: the lifeline of prayer and the lifeline of life. Just these two will suffice. It’s almost certain.

▶ Main – What did the young adults of the Patriarchal Age do?
The most important point: ① The start of Nobody. This is important. This was not just a word I knew—one young person who prayed with me used this expression: “The start of Nobody.” More precisely, you must be Nobody. I once thought, “It would have been nice if my parents could have helped me,” but if they had, I would have ended up doing something worthless. Second: the predictable word—② Go toward Nothing. Third: always remember this—young people must become this way. “Don’t we have to eat and live?” Yes, that’s true. “Don’t we have to succeed in the world?” Even more true. But the Bible is not telling you to aim for such small things. The Bible’s plan for you is world evangelization. You must receive answers big enough for that. If you haven’t received it, something is wrong. And no one else can give it to you—no one else can help you discover it. That’s why ③ Get out of your own thoughts and hold the most important promise—make the power of the throne your own. This is the summary of the Bible: “Leave your thoughts, leave what’s yours, and take the power from above.” It may seem abstract, but the day you see it as reality, works will happen. If you see this merely as something in the Bible, you won’t move. But when you see it as your story, you can conquer the world. Once you know this answer, you will understand the verse, “Believe that you have received what you asked for in prayer.” Joseph prayed and received answers. David prayed as a boy and received answers. The Early Church had no power but went to the ends of the earth—and they did it.

1. The start of Nobody
▶ Let’s look briefly at some figures.

1) Noah (Genesis 6:14, 18, 20)
▶ In Noah’s time, there was no one else to help—make yourself an ark, for the age of the Nephilim has come. Make an ark to save your descendants and preserve life.

2) Abraham (Genesis 22:1–21)
▶ Later God called Abraham. God gave him many promises, but perhaps the most important was Genesis 22:1–21. What was it? To offer the miraculous son he had received on Mount Moriah. Verse 1 says, “God tested Abraham.” This was not temptation from Satan but a test from God—like a school test to raise his skill. The key is that God provided a ram in place of his son and promised, “Through your seed all nations will be blessed.”

3) Isaac (Genesis 26:10–24)
▶ Another patriarchal figure was Isaac. He farmed and reaped a hundredfold. Why? You must know the reason. In that time, to have many wells was to be rich. His father had dug many wells, but enemies kept blocking them—yet he found the spring source itself. Despite constant attacks, he received the greater blessing of Rehoboth. Why Nobody? Because God was giving him something the world did not have, for him to enjoy.

4) Jacob (Genesis 32:23–32)
▶ Jacob wrestled at the Jabbok River. God said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob but Israel,” meaning “one who wrestles with God and prevails.” How does one prevail with God? Like a child who keeps asking until the father says, “I have lost to you!”—not literally losing, but granting the request. From that point, answers began.

5) Joseph (Genesis 37:1–11)
▶ Joseph inherited the covenant in the Patriarchal Age—dreaming of world evangelization. Whether he was sold as a slave or not didn’t matter. Joseph never made excuses—never in any record of Scripture. In trouble, he spoke of God; in blessing, he spoke of God; before Pharaoh, he spoke of God.

Alright — here’s Part 3, starting from 2. The start of Nothing (Egyptian Age) and continuing in your exact requested format.

---

2. The start of Nothing (Egyptian Age)
▶ If you hold on to just this answer and begin to enjoy it, you can go anywhere—even to a place with nothing. What is that? At last, the Egyptian Age opened.

1) Slavery (Absolute impossibility)
▶ The entire Israelite nation became slaves. This is what happened—they were all enslaved. What could be done? They were facing death, but at that time, Jochebed discovered one thing. This is the realm of absolute impossibility. You must remember this: people say “Don’t despair,” but in reality, you must see the despair clearly. You must correctly identify absolute impossibility wherever it exists.

2) Exodus 2:1–10 (Absolute possibility)
▶ Then comes Exodus 2:1–10. The mother thought, “There is only one place where my son can survive—the palace.” There was only one thing her son must carry—the covenant. That was enough. This is what we call “absolute possibility.” You must be able to find this at any time, and enjoy it at any time. Do not worry about the future. It is not about “doing” but about making other preparations. If you do not have what is in (Diagram ④) and are instead trapped in (Diagram ①), you will grow old without realizing it. And if you lack (Diagram ④), you will end up like (Diagram ①)—satisfied with small answers, talking only about the past. That’s what older people do—they have no future to talk about, so they talk only about the past. That is dangerous.

3) The 40 years in the wilderness
▶ So God led them into an important 40 years in the wilderness. Three important things were given.

(1) Three feasts, the ark of the covenant, and the tabernacle – In the 40-year wilderness journey, God gave the three feasts and the ark of the covenant—not that the ark itself was important, but that the covenant was inside. And the tabernacle was at the center. This is what God made known to them.

(2) Joshua and Caleb – The second important point is that God left behind two figures—Joshua and Caleb. You must receive this blessing. Joshua crossed the Jordan holding the covenant and brought down Jericho. He won a war that was unprecedented in history. And each time, a man who had been hidden appeared—Caleb. He was Joshua’s friend, and when Joshua became leader, Caleb said, “Just as I served Moses, I will serve you. I will not tolerate anyone who opposes you.” Even in the last conquest of the Anakim hill country, Caleb appeared again.

(3) Rahab (Joshua 2:1–16) – Do not miss this: in Joshua 2:1–16 we see Rahab. This was a precious moment—just by hearing the news and holding on to the covenant, works arose.

---

3. My thoughts – The throne (Judges era)
▶ You must take note of this: in the Judges era, people truly failed to obey. They wandered and drifted. The “judge” was someone who acted in place of a king, prophet, and priest. But more importantly, it became a complete Philistine era. Even in this time, a few important people appeared.

1) Othniel
▶ Othniel became the first judge and did well. He was Caleb’s son-in-law—in our terms, like becoming president.

2) Gideon (Judges 7:1–9)
▶ Then came Gideon. Most did not succeed, but Judges 7:1–8 records an interesting account. Israel went to war with the Midianites, whose forces were like swarms of locusts. God told Gideon, “Tell anyone who is fearful to go home.” Twenty-two thousand left, and ten thousand remained—meaning they had started with thirty-two thousand. Then God said, “Ten thousand is still too many. Take them to the water to drink.” Some drank while staying alert—only three hundred. God commanded Gideon, “Bring those three hundred.” Gideon could have protested—“They’re trembling with fear!”—but God said, “Bring them.” Why? To show that the victory and the power for this battle do not come from you. That is how unbelief was dealt with.

3) Samson (Judges 13:1–25)
▶ Another figure was Samson. Though God gave him great strength, he ultimately failed—being used by Delilah and dying as a result.

▶ Judges 21:25 (One’s own opinion) – The Book of Judges ends with this conclusion, and you must remember it: “In those days Israel had no king” —that’s the situation. But the real point is: “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” This is the problem—acting according to one’s own thoughts. We often try to do great works to receive answers. No—that is God’s work. The most important thing for us, the real way to live, is that this mindset must be broken. If it is not, problems will continue. That is why this first lecture is about the first mechanism of prayer—it connects directly to us.

♠ Conclusion: The historical bartizan of holy meditation
▶ So what conclusion must you draw? You must do this without fail. For young people, it is not a matter of “being able to do it” — you must build the historical bartizan of holy meditation. This is the task of young people. Build it without fail. Then you will overcome—overcome everything. Because of you, homes will be revived, churches will be revived, workplaces will be revived, and all places will be revived. Build the historical bartizan of holy meditation. Why? Because many of today’s three organizations and the Nephilim are raising up meditation movements. This is a very important message for us.

Become the main figures of the holy meditation movement…

1. John 14:16
   ▶ Jesus said, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever.”
2. John 14:26
   ▶ In verse 26, He said, “The Helper, the Holy Spirit, will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” Is that not an amazing blessing?
3. John 16:13
   ▶ In John 16:13, “He will disclose to you what is to come.” This is certain.
4. John 20:22
   ▶ The reason I cite this is to show you how to pray: “He breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” Let the Holy Spirit enter you like life itself—just as the breath of life was breathed in—receive the Holy Spirit. From there I began to enjoy breath prayer. Never lose this. If not you, then who? Young people—if you wait until you are older, it will not work. You must take hold of this now. Then you need not worry about the future—He said He will make known the future. He said He will bring to remembrance what He has taught you. He said He will send the Helper to be with you forever. This is the difference between a believer and an unbeliever—you must enjoy this.

▶ Haven’t I told you this before? Wherever you go—whether you visit a region or not—go to a famous fortune-teller’s house to evangelize. Ask them questions. You will be surprised. First, they will immediately recognize you—they will know you are a child of God. The Bible says we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. Some people, though demon-possessed, are spiritually sensitive—they recognize this. I once preached this message, and my daughter actually went to a fortune-teller’s place. When she came back, she told me, “The fortune-teller couldn’t recognize me.” I told her, “Then that fortune-teller is fake.” There are fortune-tellers who are truly demon-possessed and those who just make things up. The demon-possessed ones will recognize you right away. The reason I am saying this is because you do not realize how tremendous the blessing you have received is. It is enormous. We have the background of the throne. This is what we fight with.

▶ Among the three things the older generation easily loses, I have spoken today about the first. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that you will become the main figures who will save the church with the second and third points to come. I will pray.

(Prayer)
God, we give You thanks. The most important young people are gathered here. May these young people rise and become the foundation for the remnants. May these young people rise and become the hosts, protectors, and co-workers of evangelists and missionaries. May they hold firmly to the covenant that is able to save the world.

In the name of Jesus Christ we pray.
Amen.

2024.11.17 Immanuel Church Sunday 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Philippians 3:8–11

---

This time, we held a gathering in Bali, Indonesia. Unlike you, there were people who gathered to worship at the risk of their lives. They practically risk their lives, these people. Some escaped from Russia, some came out of Islam—these are the people who have become disciples. So now, when I give the message to each team, they all respond, “Amen, Amen.” But there was one thing in common—at the end I asked, “Any questions?” Without exception, every team said, “No questions.” So I told them, “Of course you have no questions.” What do I mean by that? While we often get answers through many questions, those who have truly received answers are not like that. Today, you must confirm what answer you will receive this week.

The power of world missions
Today, under the title “The Power of World Missions,” what do we need to confirm? People are shaken, asking many questions. It’s not a bad thing. But then, what is the true answer? What is our real answer? When I look at powerful nations, is that the real answer? Frankly, they are crazy. Are they peaceful? Is that the real answer? No. Israel, while constantly denying Christ, lived fervently, but none of that was the real answer. You must confirm the true answer. Only then can you have a proper walk of faith. Many people act like money is everything. If that’s the case, then there’s no need to believe in Jesus. So what is the real answer? Those seven nations brought disasters. So what is the true answer? Through you, those trapped in darkness, those under disaster, those under Satan’s authority—when they are set free—that is the true answer. Seeing that is the real answer.

[Restoration of the three feasts]
So God gave a special gift. What gift? Today, I spoke about the restoration of the three feasts.

[Restoration of identity]
What comes from the restoration of the three feasts? Through the Passover, Pentecost, and Ingathering, the identity of those of us once completely bound by Satan is restored.

[Restoration of authority]
It is not just a blessing. From being a colony enslaved to Rome under Satan’s grip, our authority is fully restored.

You must enjoy this answer. If you need health, God will give you health. If you need money, He will give you money. If you need a higher position, He will give you that. But because the true answer is separate from these things, such things…

[Restoration of background]
Our background is completely different. This is why our remnants study—not to follow the world, but to save those trapped in darkness. You must confirm this now. Without this confirmation, you will keep wandering like unbelievers.

So what answer has God given us?

[Salvation, power (journey), background of the throne]
Through the Passover, He gave us salvation. Through Pentecost, He now gives us power to walk the journey. Ingathering is our incredible background—the background of the throne.

This is still at work today. This is the real answer. And with this answer, you do not just end it—you go as a witness. From now on, all of you here must receive 300% answers… What is 300%?

[Bartizan of the throne, only]
The fact that God has given us the bartizan of the throne is 100%. Not 90%. From this, “only” is discovered in me. Receive this this week. This is the true answer.

[Journey of the throne, uniqueness]
Your work and studies go on the journey of the throne. What comes from this cannot be taken by anyone. This is where uniqueness comes out. The things of the throne—this is the real answer. Let’s examine it clearly. What answer do Buddhists try to receive? I want to ask a monk—what answer are you trying to receive sitting there? To become Buddha? Becoming Buddha means your state under Satan for all eternity will be fully realized. That is not the way.

[Guidepost of the throne, re-creation]
Humans must be re-created. The reason He gave us the guidepost of the throne is because without being re-created, humans can never receive salvation.

Enjoying these three things is the answer. Receive this answer this week. What about money? That’s true—but that’s the level of unbelievers; it’s not the answer. If you are truly within this blessing, when you need it, it will come. The economy of light, the mission economy, the remnant economy—they are bound to come.

▣ Introduction
If you fail to realize this, three things will come.

1. A church that cannot evangelize
   What will come? You will become a church that cannot receive any answers and cannot evangelize. Our church must not fail to evangelize. We must save lives.
2. Disaster for the next generation
   Worse, two more problems follow. You cannot block the disaster that will come to the next generation. Today, a good couple came for counseling with their children. They seem to be sending their child abroad for studies, so I told them about cases where it went wrong and where it went right. In the wrong case, the child is ruined. They understood well. They were truly a good couple. But if the two of them fail to gain strength now, the same problem will come to the next generation. If the church has no power to evangelize, that means it is not receiving answers—so disaster comes. You must block this.
3. Globalization of spiritual disease
   This is how spiritual disease becomes globalized. That is why we do missions. Fearful things happen.

▣ Main point – Transmission
So today, for you, transmitting the true answer is missions. Three things:

2. Acts 9:1–15 [Passover answer]
First, Acts 9:1–15—this is the start of missions. This is called the Passover answer. It was the moment Paul received salvation.

1) Direct meeting – Here, Paul met Jesus Christ directly. The first answer you must receive is a sure faith in Christ.

2) Light – You may not realize it, but at that moment darkness is bound to flee. Otherwise, it will not leave. At that time in Damascus, light shone upon Paul.

3) Mission – And He gave him the mission: “You are my chosen instrument to carry my name before the people of Israel, the Gentiles, and their kings.” This is the true answer. This is what you truly transmit. Change your thinking completely. “I’m old now; what can I do?” No. You can. In some ways, this blessing allows you to do what even a president or king cannot do. The start of the true answer? Today’s three feasts—the Passover answer.

2. [Pentecost answer]
Second—how will we do world evangelization? The Pentecost answer. Just do as it says in the Bible. You already know.

1) 100% guidance of the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:1–4) – Wherever Paul went, the first thing he did was receive 100% guidance of the Holy Spirit. This came upon them on the day of Pentecost.

2) Work of the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:5–12) – There, Paul fully enjoyed 100% of the work of the Holy Spirit, reviving the field. In Acts 13:5–12, the darkness was broken. This is the Pentecost answer.

3) Fruit of the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:11) – “I must see Rome also.” He bore the sure fruit of the Holy Spirit—he went to Rome. All of this is the Pentecost answer. Today’s message on the three feasts is about what true power and true answer are.

3. [Ingathering answer]
Third—the answer is clear. The Ingathering answer. Take this with you. Paul says in Philippians 3:

1) Power of the throne (Philippians 3:12) – “Not that I have already obtained all this or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” He said he goes only with the power of the throne.

2) Reward of the throne (Philippians 3:14) – “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward.” A completely different level.

3) Background of the throne (Philippians 3:20) – “Our citizenship is in heaven.” Not Roman citizenship—the background of the throne.

You must know the true answer and transmit it. Earning money? The rich have more than you—are they happy? No. I’ve been in some of their homes—they’re ruined families. Some have two mentally ill family members living inside. That’s not living. They don’t even know why. America and Japan are serious now. To the point where in America, you must never look at someone or pick a fight—you don’t know what will happen. People’s minds are filled with strange things. They don’t know what the real answer is.

This week, may the work of God’s kingdom—the background of the throne, the background of Ingathering—come upon you as you pray. This is the three feasts, and it is extremely important. People love earthly things so much, but Paul said, “I press on toward the prize for which God has called me heavenward.” Their questions are almost all physical. “Our citizenship is in heaven.” Paul had already gained everything on earth, and he called it all garbage. He considered it loss.

▣ Conclusion – [Evidence]
You must go with evidence. Nothing that happened in powerful nations was of any help. “I consider them loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” Hold to clear evidence.

Remnants—there will be many things outside, but do not be shaken. Confirm and hold to sure evidence. The rest will follow. Don’t keep listening to worldly talk and worrying, don’t worry about studies—build the 300%. Start now. That answer is “only,” “uniqueness,” and “re-creation.” What is 300%? Discovering “only” in your work and studies while praying with the power of the throne. Then it’s easy.

The 7 remnants did not compete. Competition? Impossible. Who could Joseph compete with? No one—it’s impossible. They had this (opening statement). They had the real answer. You must have this. And wherever they went, they confirmed it—it’s not that they had nothing and then got an answer. In slavery, works arose in that house. In prison, works arose there.

Wherever you go, it will be like that. The real thing is already there. So why doesn’t it work for you? Start again. Start anew.

I’ve told you before—this start is important. You must know what the answer is. When I first began pioneering in Yeongdo, I thought that was the answer. One night, unexpectedly, someone I knew well came to see me. Without any contact, he drove up to the alley in front of our parsonage. He was an elder from my former church—a man who ran a large business. By now, he had moved to Seoul and become a pastor. He had wealth and preparation. He came saying, “I’ve received an answer to prayer—let’s go.” “Where to?” I asked. He was about ten years older than me. He had built a church, prepared a parsonage, and everything else, and said I should come. He said he would step down and hand it over. At first, I was a little tempted. “This man is offering everything, while I have no house, no church…” He even spoke persuasive words—saying I didn’t know my own worth, that I didn’t belong in a rural place like Yeongdo. For a moment, I began to listen. He said he had everything prepared—house, church, car. But I thought, “If you were going to come, you should have come earlier—why now?” He said he had already received God’s answer. So I thought of your faces and said, “I’ve also received an answer—I can’t go.” “Why not?” “Because I promised God and our congregation that even in difficulty, I would do world evangelization here. No matter how good your offer, I can’t go.” That was good guidance. If I had gone, what a strange man I would have been.

So what is world evangelization? This week, you must know what the true answer is. This (whole message) is the real answer. Paul realized this and did world evangelization. We have clear evidence.

1. WIOS – From now on, all we need is the system of “With,” “Immanuel,” and “Oneness” with God. That’s it.
2. OURS – “Only,” “Uniqueness,” and “Re-creation” are the real answer, and the system must be made into mine.
3. Holy meditation age – In all the work fields of our elders and church leaders, along with these two things, you must become witnesses who shine the light that saves the age in the holy meditation age.

Just wait once. Just do this. “Wait for what the Father promised.” Jesus said, “Wait for the gift my Father promised… In a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. And you will receive power and be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.” You must believe this. Otherwise, you will be deceived. Many people’s questions are shocking—completely worldly, with money as their standard. They ask based on that.

May you have the blessing this week of holding the true answer, changing the world, saving the next generation, and spiritually healing the whole world, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us give a clap offering of thanks and glory to our Triune God who will use you. All thanks and glory to God. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, let us know the true answer. Let us be witnesses who save the world and those dying in it. Let the power of the throne come upon the studies and work of our church leaders and remnants, so that they may save many unbelievers. Let us be witnesses who solve spiritual problems without ever being deceived. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
