Church Construction Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Romans 16:25-27
Many foreign guests have come. Also, at Immanuel Seoul and Busan, there are many good doctors who have the gospel. You should gather the church members and give them special health lectures. At Immanuel Seoul, I receive weekly reports, and I see that too many people are diagnosed with cancer. This is based on clear medical evidence, so you must take it into account.
When you are working or attending worship, you must not simply remain passive. I’m not saying you must always exert strength, but you should maintain a focus on your lower abdomen. Then your breathing will naturally slow. It greatly restores your health. Most of you likely just let things be. Because of this, after age 50, most men have difficulty urinating. Many of you probably already experience this, though you may not want to admit it. It’s nearly all blocked. Women also generally experience problems.
Singers, when they sing, take deep breaths and sing with strength applied to the lower abdomen. Buddhism does not have salvation, but they discovered something amazing—that is the 108 bows. It is extraordinary. If you bow 108 times, your lower abdomen will surely be activated. And your breathing will naturally lengthen, because you must sustain it. They discovered something remarkable without even having salvation. That’s incredible.
So when you work or attend Sunday worship, you should enjoy this as you pray, and great restoration will take place. In the morning, you should have quiet time; at night, a deeper time. That rhythm is very important.
I get a checkup at the hospital once a year, and this person was excessively aggressive in the prostate exam. There’s a reason. For younger people, not so much, but if they see someone older, they check thoroughly because most have illness there. About two years ago, I asked the doctor, “Is something wrong? Why is this so painful?” He said, “Ah, understood.” And after that, it didn’t hurt as much. He answered, probably because I asked, “Your prostate is very healthy.”
This is an unnecessary story for a sermon, but still, we must guard our health. It mustn’t be too painful. When I attend conferences or large gatherings, I use the inner restroom when needed. There are people who recognize me, so I go inside. When I go in, someone is standing there. I finish my business, wash my hands, and come out—and he’s still standing there. Obviously, it’s because he is blocked. I silently pray, “Lord~”
These people don’t know how to gain health, so of course, they suffer. Are we simply trying to live longer? That’s not the reason.
We must open the holy meditation age. We need a temple that opens the holy meditation age. Why? Whatever we do, we speak in three terms. The reason we must do it—that is the concept. Then what must we do? That is the content. How should we do it? That’s the system. We always view these three.
So when God gives us an economic system, we must have the reason why. Then, what should we do? Because we are unable to do this, we must open it. In the last session for the remnants, I asked this of them.
Naturally, I am a pastor—what was the first thing I did when I first went to Seoul? I visited the famous churches I had only heard about: Youngrak Church, Yoido Church, Chung Hyun Church—I visited them all. I even went to Myeongdong Cathedral. Even with my limited intelligence, I quickly realized: “Ah, these churches are great. They are diligent.” That’s what I felt.
But at Myeongdong Cathedral, I didn’t feel that way. “People come because they must.” No need for long explanation—they come because it’s made that way. Churches require much effort and display. You must remember this.
In America, churches struggle with operations. They are all overwhelmed. But I visited the buildings of the three organizations—they were exactly what I expected. They are made so that talented people must come. That’s the difference.
So, with this holy meditation age, we must save the world, but we must be prepared for God to bless us. This is urgent now in advanced countries like the U.S., Europe, and Japan. We must do it. No need for more words—let’s check from the introduction.
▣ Introduction
1. Re-creation of darkness
Currently, Satan is completely re-creating darkness. He is continuing this even now.
1) 12 strategies (Nephilim)
Satan continues to re-create using the 12 strategies. It sounds good, but in short, he is making Nephilim. That’s why rituals, shamanism, and possessions are all the same—they lead people to demon possession. This allows people to become possessed. In Korea, it’s expressed as “receive the spirit.” If that doesn’t work, if life is hard, they say “do a ritual.” Same thing. When people are desperate, they visit a shaman. What can they do? They perform ancestral rites or ritual sacrifices—all of this is Nephilim.
2) 5 strategies
The church also helps Satan by forming his 5 strategies. Darkness is continually re-created here. Who would want to be depressed? But depression comes. There’s no one who doesn’t feel down. But when it becomes too much and one can’t function, we call it depression. People experience ups and downs, but when it’s too severe, illness comes. It’s inevitable.
3) Brain – Soul
In short, illness comes to the brain, and then to the soul. The church must be able to deal with and help in these matters.
2. Re-creation of light
Starting now, let us not worry but prepare. Our church will engage in the re-creation of light.
1) Healing the root
Even if we only have one thing—heal the root. At Immanuel Seoul, teams are forming. I lecture every week. A healing team is gathering. What do they heal? The root. Right?
2) Healing of imprint
And we must heal what has entered, what has been imprinted. For other illnesses, you must follow your doctor’s advice. Right? What must we do? Heal the root. Don’t just eat anything because it’s “good.” Ask a doctor before taking it. Don’t just eat something because your mother-in-law says it’s good. Don’t take lots of vitamins at once—they damage your liver. Right? People die because they don’t understand this. There was a pastor who always cursed me and interfered. He took something from China said to be good and suddenly died. I didn’t feel bad about it, but I checked why—it was liver failure from too much. Follow medical advice. That’s how the body heals. Then why do we pray and try to live a proper spiritual life? To heal the root. Right? This is important. Then what must we do? Change what is imprinted.
3) Re-creation healing
And we must do re-creation healing.
3. Power
And what about you? You must have the power of world evangelization. Power. There are five types. Forgive me, adults, I’ll write in English for the remnants.
1) Power
Without power, remnants cannot overcome the world. They must have power. That’s why I spoke of the holy meditation age earlier.
2) Tacit
There is an even greater power—called tacit power. What is it? Invisible power. “Ah, that child has something.” This is the power. Then people find out—this child has the gospel. That becomes a testimony. Right? “Something about that person gives me strength.” That’s how it should be. It mustn’t be, “I gain strength, but being near that person drains me.”
3) Authority
There is even greater power—power from above. This power is different.
4) Heavenly, Thronely, Eternaly
There’s even greater power. Heavenly power—the power to overcome the ruler of the air. Right? Not just that—Thronely power. Eternaly power. That’s why I created lyrics gathering all of this. First year: Heavenly. Second year: Thronely. Third year: Eternaly. Fourth year: all combined. It’s hard to compose like this and hard to find the sound. So we canceled everything and kept the original melodies for each. And three paths emerged—bartizan, journey, guidepost. These were included in the lyrics. We must confirm where we are, where our remnants are, and why we gather. There is even greater power.
5) Trinity
It is the Triune God Himself. Right? God the Father, Christ, and the Holy Spirit are our power.
I will briefly summarize the rest. The introduction was long, but you must not remain unaware.
▣ Main point
Now, from this point, we must receive the answers that are being fulfilled and engage in what brings answers.
“Pastor, what if hardship comes to my family?” Then face the hardship. It is not a hardship. A child once said, “My father was wrongly accused and lost a legal battle.” That’s not losing—it’s the process. Then if the father had won, would that be victory? No. You, and that remnant, are making a mistake. This is a great misconception.
If a problem arises in your church, it’s part of the process. Right? It’s not a problem—it’s the process. Can you have results without a process? The Early Church was scattered—was that a problem? If we follow that logic, we must interpret it as such.
Was there no answer from God for 250 years? For 250 years, they were persecuted to the point of death. No—that’s not the case. Hidden remnants went underground and evangelized all of Rome. In reality, the politicians had no choice. For various reasons, but ultimately, they could not avoid declaring Christianity as the state religion. Right?
Of course, Constantine didn’t first declare it the state religion—he only granted recognition. Maybe it was his faith. But after that, they could no longer deny it.
You must prepare the vessel that must be blessed.
1. Save the root
First: save the root. What is it?
[Courtyard of healing]
It is the courtyard of healing. It must be established.
2. Discover the fundamental mystery
Second: discover the fundamental mystery. This must apply to work, study—everything. What is the fundamental mystery?
[Courtyard of the remnant]
It is the courtyard of the remnant.
3. The actual mystery of 237–5000
Have the actual mystery that saves 237 nations and 5000 tribes. You must possess the actual mystery.
[Courtyard of the Gentiles]
This is called the courtyard of the Gentiles.
▣ Main point_ The three courtyards temple
Now, what did I just speak about? Why do we open the holy meditation age? I spoke about the three courtyards. Then what is the main point? The temple of the three courtyards—the courtyard that exists and its content. It is not about grandeur. If the three courtyards are truly prepared, God begins to work. You must understand this. If your academics are prepared this way, your studies will begin receiving the blessings of world evangelization.
I say this cautiously, but from now on, if “work” is not connected to the three courtyards, it will not succeed. Churches that do not have the mystery of the three courtyards will almost all shut down. These days, even doctors are waking up. They are becoming globalized. That’s awakening. Now, doctors are starting to speak about breathing and healing. They study, and it makes sense.
In Seoul, a doctor I know is preparing how to implement the 24 system. Why? Because foreign patients are coming to Korea. They all say the same thing: “Korea has great technology, and the speed is amazing.” Things are done immediately. That’s likely true. This is the secret of conquering the world. Even Americans say real treatment is found in Korea. Our country has developed that much.
Why do I say this? This is the courtyard of the Gentiles. You must not be unaware of this.
Now, let me speak about the courtyard of healing.
1. Save the root [Courtyard of healing]
1) Watchman
As a watchman, they were established.
2) Bartizan, journey, guidepost
Watchmen must build a bartizan. There must be a bartizan. This bartizan is for the journey of world evangelization, and a guidepost must be set. Right?
3) Imprint, root, nature
Then what must be done? Change their imprint, root, and nature. What is this now? It is the leaders’ retreat. You must know what the leaders have and pray for them.
2. Discover the fundamental mystery [Courtyard of the remnant]
1) Only – discover
Do not just go. Discover “only.” If you cannot find “only,” then don’t go. Discover “only.”
2) Uniqueness – go
Go with uniqueness.
3) Re-creation – work
Go to create works of re-creation. This is the message of the remnant conference. You must absolutely remember this.
3. Actual mystery of 237–5000 [Courtyard of the Gentiles]
1) Three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, holy meditation age
To prepare for the courtyard of the Gentiles, the first thing you must do is—this is not random—it connects. These three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age are connected. Thus, there must be spaces where the sick can rest. Right? Prepare these places in various spots. Good. The structure must be such that those who want to pray can go in and pray. Right now, it’s difficult—people can’t even pray. There’s no place. In church, people should be able to read the Bible. That’s not difficult. Foreigners who come have nowhere to rest. They carry their bags and wander around like guests. They should be able to come freely, rest, leave their bags, take off their shoes—that’s what our church should be. Always like guests? That won’t do.
2) 300%
So, transform yourself, your “work,” the field, missions, and the church into 300%. This is the actual mystery. Actual answers. That’s how you save 237 nations. “But I’m just idle?” Then play 300%. What does that mean? You know Jeong Yak-jeon, older brother of Jeong Yak-yong. He was exiled to Heuksando Island. Back then, punishment meant exile—to a remote island. There was nothing to do—boring and hard. The only thing to do was fishing. If you fish 300%, you get a masterpiece called Jasan Eobo. It wasn’t written by fishermen. Fishermen should have written it, right? Now it’s in museums—it’s the standard. It wasn’t made by fishermen, but by someone who enjoyed 300%. Remnants must remember this. His younger brother, Jeong Yak-yong, read many books and took notes. These notes were compiled into something great. People were helped by it. That is called 300%. Even at play, be busy.
3) Romans 16:25–27
And what? Finally, what God has hidden—Romans 16:25, 26, 27—contains extremely important content. Resolution of past problems, today’s problems, and future problems—all are contained in it.
If you have the prayer to build such a temple, God will surely begin to work. I am expecting it. After much time passes, we will say, “Ah, so this is how it was.” What kind of church is needed? What kind of missionary is needed? If you cannot resolve this (Introduction), can it work? Satan continually re-creates to drag the world into destruction. That’s why we must heal. And this power is necessary. The reason is the three courtyards.
▣ Conclusion
Let us conclude.
1. Summit prayer
I told the remnants—you must not wait idly now. You must remain in prayer. Right? Of course, praying when a problem arises is important, but you must pray before problems come and view the problems through prayer. Same words, but different. It’s good to pray and study when things are tough, but you must study within prayer. Understand? It’s not hard—it’s easier. Sitting idly is extremely difficult. Right? Sitting absentmindedly, “When will this end? Today is long.” That drives you crazy. Right? Enter into prayer and ask, “God, what are You giving us?” Understood? Begin 3 concentrations. That’s called summit prayer.
2. Summit evangelism
Grabbing people on the street to evangelize is not bad. Shouting in subway stations is not bad. I cannot do that kind of evangelism. I’m too shy. True evangelism is not that. It’s overturning things through an invisible system. It’s a system battle. That’s called summit evangelism. Remnants must do this.
When you receive great answers, evangelism naturally happens. Even in Christianity, this exists. Take, for example, someone who sings and succeeds—it’s very hard. But some succeed. For women, someone like Sumi Jo. As I know, she was nurtured by the Unification Church. If she had understood the gospel, how much influence could she have had? But greater still is a gospel-holding musician influencing just one person in the field. That is greater. That’s fine—summit evangelism.
Much can be said, but think well. If your “work” prospers, think well. For example, the team that produced the musical visited to greet me. Don’t end it there. Raise talents in each country and region. Create musicals in each region. Then actors, talents will arise. There, languages are learned—our remnants learn it all. Do summit evangelism.
3. Summit works
Ultimately, what? Do what is easy. If it’s difficult and impossible, you can’t do it. Making money isn’t the goal—but you must surpass that. Success isn’t the goal—but surpass it. That’s easier. That is called summit works. If you’re barely surviving, always struggling, “How will I survive?”—you cannot live that way. From the start, decide: “I will do world missions.” Then it will all work. As I said in the first service, if you don’t know how to pray, it won’t happen. Lacking this (Introduction 3) blessing, this power, it won’t work. The cause lies here (Introduction 1). Because this isn’t resolved, power doesn’t arise. But you can do it. Do not fall into this (Introduction 1). May this week be a week of great strength, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.
Prayer. God, we thank You. May Your work be fulfilled this week. Let us save the world this week by Your power. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
