Jesus Reigns His Church

1 Corinthians 3:16. Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 

The primary concern of our resurrected Lord Jesus Christ is His church. This church is not merely a building or a weekly event—it begins with you. You are the temple of the living God, and the Holy Spirit dwells within you, as it is written in Today’s Word. This indwelling presence makes you unique, holy, and set apart for the work God prepared long before the foundation of the world.

The Holy Spirit did not promise to be with you only for a moment—He promised to be with you forever (John 14:16). He fills you with the power of His throne so that you may carry the gospel to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). More than that, He reveals truths you do not yet know, guiding and helping you in all things (John 14:26-27, 16:13).

When you come to understand that you are the church of God, everything imprinted in you begins to change. The imprint of the world and your old nature is replaced with Christ and the DNA of the gospel. Your thoughts will shift. Your nature will be renewed. You will begin to enjoy prayer throughout the day, not as a burden but as a source of life and power. The work of the Holy Spirit will be made visible through your life, touching everyone you encounter.

Wherever you go, the church goes. When you gather with even one or two fellow believers, Jesus promises to be in your midst:

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:19-20)

This is the essence of the church Christ desires—a people who gather in His name, united in faith and prayer, seeking His kingdom to come through world evangelization. When the church prays in His name, nothing is impossible. The gates of hell will not overcome it.

The believers of Early Church devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer (Acts 2:42). When the church is restored to its true foundation in the gospel, a life-changing work of God will follow:

“All the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved” (Acts 2:47).

Find someone who understands the mystery of Christ and begin to pray together. You will see the glory of God fill that place. God will establish His church among you, and no force of darkness can prevail against it.

Pray for your church. Pray that it would be filled with the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit, ready to bring salvation to those afflicted with spiritual problems, family curses, and generational disasters. Through the church, God’s light can block the darkness that has come upon our nation and the world.

A church without the gospel, without spiritual essence, will not last. Herod’s Temple, though magnificent, was destroyed in 70 A.D., just as Jesus had foretold. But the church built upon the foundation of Christ will never fall. Only the church that lives for one purpose—to proclaim the gospel to all nations—will endure every hardship and persecution that comes.

The world will hate the church of Christ. Their own families will even reject some. But this will become the greatest opportunity to testify about Christ. Those who are filled with the Holy Spirit will rise above all circumstances and overcome with God’s power.

God has given your church the solution to the fundamental problems of the world. He has entrusted it with power to overcome the forces of darkness. He has given it the key to block disasters, heal broken families, and restore the land. Pray that your church may rise again with the glory and power of the true church of Christ. Pray that it may be used to advance God’s kingdom here on earth.

Do you know where your primary mission field is? It is the very place where God desires to establish His church—where you live, where you work, where you study. Aquila and Priscilla realized God’s plan in their tentmaking business. They partnered with Paul to plant a church in Corinth (Acts 18:1–3). They opened their home for worship and supported many evangelists. Paul mentioned them in his letter to the Roman believers:

“Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in the ministry of Christ Jesus. In fact, they once risked their lives for me. I am thankful to them, and so are all the Gentile churches. Also, give my greetings to the church that meets in their home.” (Romans 16:3–5)

In the same way, God wants to establish His church in and through your life, that others might see the light of Christ shining through your work, your relationships, and your faith. A church with three courtyards for all nations (Matthew 28:18-20), prayer and healing (Mark 16:15-18), and children or remnants (John 21:15-17).

Prayer. Father, may Your church be established where I am today. May the light of Christ shine through me and my work by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Work of the Triune God and the Eternal Answer

2024.09.08 District Message
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8

▣ Introduction
Only in the Bible does it say not to worship idols.

1) Idol worship (Exodus 20:1–5)
Foolishly, all other religions do it. That’s why I firmly believe they are not God’s Word, nor the truth. In Exodus 20:1–5, it says that if you worship idols, disasters will come upon you for three or four generations. Even in advanced nations like Japan, without knowing, they follow the Prime Minister in idol worship events. And nearly all citizens worship idols. Taiwan is next after Japan. In Taiwan, even in front of houses, they set things up and burn incense. Somewhat surprisingly, though many Japanese are here, Japan has the highest rate of depression and mental illness in Asia. In places like Taiwan, already over half the children are afflicted. The Bible doesn’t tell us not to do it without reason—this is God’s Word saying not to do it.

2) Ancestral rituals (1 Corinthians 10:20)
Many people value ancestral rituals. But the Bible clearly says not to do them. In 1 Corinthians 10:20, it says that when you do this, it’s not your ancestors who come but demons.

3) Temporary effect (John 8:44) (2 Corinthians 11:4)
Then why do people do it? There’s a reason. It has a temporary effect. For a short time, power seems to arise. Everyone falls for this. But in John 8:44, these demons are said to be directed by Satan, who is the deceiver. So it’s deception.
There was once a businessman involved in politics who followed everything a fortune teller said—and strangely, the business worked. If you go to a fortune teller, they’ll get it right. But later, even that fortune teller gets deceived. This man was so extreme that he succeeded in areas he had no experience in. But eventually, the nation itself was affected. When that problem came, it was revealed that he lived not in a nice house but in a room by the front gate. Even that was in the news. Why? The fortune teller told him to live in the entryway. So his entire work collapsed.

They deceive while giving temporary results. Sometimes, according to 2 Corinthians 11:14, they appear as angels of light. Where is the real problem? It’s the mistake of Christians. God gave Christians the power to save (as explained in the introduction), but they have no interest.

“The work of the Triune God – The eternal answer” (Acts 1:1–8)
What is the answer? It’s the work of the Triune God. Christians don’t treasure this. They don’t enjoy it. Instead of trying to receive answers, enjoy this secret of the Triune God. Then what comes is the eternal answer. This is what Jesus spoke of last on Mt Olive. So when you hold onto this covenant and begin praying, eternal answers come.

To be honest, for me, it was understanding the gospel and understanding prayer. After I understood prayer, not a single visible answer came to me—and that’s important. Shouldn’t answers come? Some people talk about experiences. Experiences? I’ve never had any. Some say they faint while praying. I don’t faint—I get clearer when I pray. Never once fainted. Some speak in tongues and share all kinds of stories. I used to be very curious—“What is this experience?” So I closely observed pastors who talked about this. But none of them received answers or led evangelism movements. Though they testify that they received answers, I’ve never had a single one like that.

That’s important. In fact, after praying a lot and doing evangelism, I even shrunk 1cm in height. Still, for 30 years I was persecuted but continued world evangelization without any problem. I was slandered and criticized from the start. An older pastor once told me, concerned I’d be troubled, “Don’t worry about it. That power is already within you, Pastor Ryu.”
Another elderly pastor said something similar. “Is that so?” I replied. That’s an eternal answer.

▣ Main Point
Then how does the Triune God actually work? We need to see that.

1) The Word
First, God the Father does all things, but He works through the Word. So, if you are guided by the Word, you are already receiving answers.

2) Salvation
God the Son, Jesus Christ, does all things too, but He is carrying out the work of salvation through His name.

3) Power
God, the Holy Spirit, is still working through power today.
When these things are built up within you, world evangelization takes place.

[Bartizan]
When this becomes a bartizan within you, world evangelization happens.
I’ve never been sick even once while doing world evangelization. I’ve never once worried about money. I’ve never once missed the blessing of the fulfillment of the Word or the evangelism movement.

Today’s important first service message asks: where is this evangelism movement problem attached? It is today’s first service—RTS Sunday. You must pray. The more pastors who know how to evangelize, the greater the benefit. The more pastors with no fruit of evangelism, the greater the loss. Isn’t that right?

Right now, churches in America and Europe are disappearing due to serious problems. Children gather with their friends starting Friday for drug parties. That’s why I easily held onto the covenant: “We must open the three-day weekend age.” At first, Korean kids wouldn’t join in. But the atmosphere makes them feel like fools. Almost everyone does it. So, by not going, they become loners. Little by little, they get drawn in. That’s human nature.

In the past, when I traveled abroad and stayed in hotels, sometimes they were terrible. But after three days, I didn’t notice. By the fourth day, I even grew fond of it. That’s human nature. Kids, without knowing, sneak into it and fall in. That’s why many Korean kids who go to America or Europe become drug addicts.

▣ Main Point

1) The Word
So what kind of answer must we receive and act upon now?
How does the Word mostly work?

1) Genesis 1:1–3
It is the Word of creation. In fact, your words also have power. Your words become seeds. So those who always speak unbelief end up only experiencing unbelief. You can’t help it—because that’s how they speak. Proverbs 6:2 says, “You are ensnared by the words of your mouth.” It becomes your destiny.
James 3 says a large ship is directed by a small rudder. “The words of your tongue move your destiny.” Then how much more is God’s Word—the Word of creation.

2) John 1:1–14
That’s why the Bible says in John 1:1–14, “The Word was God,” to that extent. “The Word became flesh.”

3) Hebrews 4:12
Hebrews 4:12 says, “The Word is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow.”
“To the marrow” means it even heals physical disease like cancer. It has the power to heal.

This place has such a great environment and air. On Sundays, spend the whole day in deep prayer. Do you remember last week’s Sunday message? You need to pray like that on Sundays. Even the preacher may forget the message after preaching. That means they didn’t hold onto the Word. When? During worship.
Why do we remember heartfelt conversations with friends? But after a bunch of idle chatter, nothing remains.

Last Sunday’s message was a very important verse—Galatians 2:20. Even Peter couldn’t enjoy the gospel. If you can’t enjoy the gospel, you die—so they couldn’t enjoy it. James and even Barnabas weren’t enjoying the gospel. Paul rebuked them with deep sorrow: “I have been crucified with Christ. I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” This was Paul’s confession. That’s why he was able to evangelize the world and Rome. Peter couldn’t do it. “It is living and active.”
So this Word saves our soul and brings life. That’s why the second service message is Galatians 3:28—the Word that Lincoln held onto. Don’t just memorize it—hold onto it deeply in prayer. Because there’s so much every Sunday, you can’t memorize it all. But you can see the flow of the answer. By now, you should be thinking at home, “Which multiethnic talents should I invite next year?” That’s how answers come.

2) Salvation
The work of salvation is still happening today.

1) 1 John 3:8
“The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.”

2) John 14:6
He is still working the same way. John 14:6 says, “I am the way and the truth and the life.”

3) Mark 10:45
As evidence, Mark 10:45 says, “He gave His life as a ransom for many,” cutting off all disasters.

3) Power
How does the Holy Spirit work?

1) Indwelling (1 Corinthians 3:16)
He dwells within us. Isn’t that amazing? That’s why the forces of darkness can never overcome you. You’re only shaken by yourself. People worry 24 hours a day by themselves. Some people have nothing to worry about, yet they make things up to worry about—it’s their nature. If they have nothing of their own to worry about, they borrow others’. If that’s not enough, they imagine problems that don’t even exist. That’s a mental illness. There’s nothing wrong, but they say there is. The Holy Spirit is dwelling within us. “Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?”

When I used to take evangelism teams around, I always sent them first to the shamans. Why? To evangelize. A true shaman is one possessed by an evil spirit. The rest are frauds. But real ones can tell who you are the moment they see you.
“Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?”

2) Guidance (John 14:16)
This Holy Spirit also guides us. In John 14:16, how does He guide us? Through the Counselor, the Holy Spirit.
‘Bo’ (保) means “to protect.”
‘Hye’ (惠) means “to give grace” and help in times of crisis.
‘Sa’ (師) means “to teach” and “to enlighten.”
“This Holy Spirit will be with you forever”—this is the promise of Jesus.

But if Christians don’t believe this, why even come to church? On a day like this, go out for a picnic instead—even if it ruins your life. Isn’t that so? Go to the mountains, the fields—then slip and fall to your death. Isn’t that pleasant?

You must go with certain strength. Otherwise, you can’t save people in hardship.
Don’t make excuses about your family. You have to live first for your family to live. It’s inevitable. Go to your workplace—people are only after their own gain and money. How could that produce justice? If something doesn’t align with their self-interest, they won’t accept it. That’s what they’re there for. Some people try to ruin others with slander and lies. That’s why you must carry this blessing and save them.

3) Filling (Acts 1:8)
Then what happens when this all takes place? You become filled. What is “filling”? It means to be full. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” Just as John baptized with water, when the Holy Spirit comes upon you—this means when the Holy Spirit fills you completely—“you will receive power.” You will gain it. What kind of power? “You will be My witnesses.”
To what extent? “To the ends of the earth.” You must enjoy this blessing.

▣ Conclusion

1) House
So what must we do today? In reality, this force of darkness builds houses invisibly.

1) Matthew 12:28–30
Jesus said something shocking. In Matthew 12:28–30:
“Satan has built a house within you and taken control. As long as that remains, you can’t do anything.”
He gave a parable:
“When a thief enters the house, can you guard it?”

2) Matthew 12:43–45
They build a house, and it continues to grow.
Look at shamans—they keep needing to do bigger rituals.
What do you think will happen?

3) 2 Corinthians 10:1–5
In 2 Corinthians 10:1–5, it says they’ve built strongholds. This means they’ve fortified a castle. Tear it down—with the Word of God.

2) Bartizan, journey, guidepost
What does this mean? Establish the bartizan God has given you. Walk the journey God has given you. Raise the guidepost God has given you. Then it will work.

3) Absolute answer
Then one day, the absolute bartizan will be raised for you and your children. From that point on, everything is different. You win without fighting. Did Joseph compete? There was no need to—he was on a different level. You have the right to receive this blessing. You must absolutely teach this to the remnants.

Today’s second service will speak about missions—the missions we must do for the remnants. Today’s first service is a message about how important pastors are, and how we must pray for them.

From now, I hope this will be a day where you pray all day and are healed, even of the illnesses you don’t know about. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that during the time of prayer today, the work of God’s kingdom will first come upon your field.

Let us pray.

Prayer. May today be the day when the stronghold of darkness is destroyed and the bartizan of God is raised in us. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

What Happens When You Remain in Christ?

John 15:7-17. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.

We were created to remain in God and His love:

“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:26).

He gave us a unique identity as His children, loved with everlasting love. He entrusted to us a heavenly authority:

“Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground” (Genesis 1:27).

More than just giving us life, God established a covenant relationship with us (Genesis 2:17). Our purpose was clear: to remain in Him and His love forever.

Tragically, we broke the covenant, just as Adam did (Genesis 3:1-6; Hosea 6:7). We fell into the deception of the devil and chose to walk away from the love of God. That was the beginning of all problems: sin, separation, death, and suffering.

Yet God, compelled by His great love, did not leave us in this state. He immediately opened the way of salvation from the hand of Satan.

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel” (Genesis 3:15).

This was the new covenant God made with us. But this covenant came at a tremendous cost. It required God’s own Son. Jesus, the only Son of God, born of a virgin, came into the world to fulfill the covenant. He willingly died on the cross and rose again from the dead.

Jesus came as the True King to destroy the devil’s work (1 John 3:8). He came as the True Priest to die for our sins and break the power of curses in our lives (Mark 10:45). He came as the True Prophet to bring us back to God, because we were eternally separated from Him, living in the background of hell (John 14:6). He finished the work of the Christ for us (Matthew 16:16).

Jesus did not have to come, but He did because of His infinite love for us. He did not have to die, but He did because it was the only way to save us from our impossible situation. He rose again from the dead, crushing the power of death, hell, and Satan once and for all.

Jesus, though in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to exploit. Instead, He emptied Himself and took on the form of a servant, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross (Philippians 2:6-8).

He did this because He loved us beyond measure. We did not deserve His love or mercy, but He poured out His grace upon us. On the cross, Jesus finished all of our problems—past, present, and future—once for all (John 19:30).

Now He invites us once again to enjoy the blessings of the covenant in Him: Remain in Me and My love. Jesus is not asking us to do something great or challenging. He simply wants us to rest in Him (Matthew 11:28). He wants us to find everything in Him (Colossians 2:2-3). He wants us to live by faith in Him (Galatians 2:20).

When you remain in Him and His words remain in you, you will naturally love to pray. You will come to believe that God hears your prayers and answers them. Whatever you ask for in Jesus’ name will be granted, for that is what a loving Father does for His child.

Prayer is the most incredible privilege you have in Christ. It is the channel of the power of the throne of the Triune God. But be aware—Satan knows what happens when you pray. That is why he will do everything he can to keep you from praying. He fears a believer who prays because prayer moves heaven and binds the forces of his kingdom of the air. As seen in Daniel 10:12-14, unseen spiritual battles begin the moment you start praying. This is why you must never give up prayer—it is where true victory begins.

When you remain in Christ, you will bear much fruit in faith and obedience. That will bring glory to the Father (John 15:8). People will acknowledge the work of God in your life. Remember Joseph?

“The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did…” (Genesis 39:2-3).

When Joseph remained in God, even his pagan master witnessed God’s presence in Joseph’s life and work. The same will happen to you when you remain in Christ. Your family, your friends, your coworkers, and even those who oppose you will see the presence of God in your life.

Your life will be the life of a disciple of Christ (John 15:8). The more you remain in Him, the more you will become like Him. Your life itself will proclaim the gospel. God will bring the nations to your doorstep to hear the message of reconciliation from you. More importantly, God will gather His evangelism disciples to you so that together you may carry out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).

God will reveal His plans to you because He loves you. He calls you His friend. He delights in being with you and desires to include you in His eternal plan of salvation for the world. For this purpose, God has chosen you and appointed you. He will fill you with the joy of salvation and the love for the lost. He will make you like Paul:

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace” (Acts 20:24).

God will bless you to the point where you will lay down your life for the sake of the gospel.

Prayer. Lord Jesus, thank You for calling me Your friend. Help me to remain in You and in Your love. Open my eyes to see Your plans. Let me walk with You every day, fulfilling the work You have entrusted to me. In Your precious name I pray. Amen.

The Age of Holy Meditation and My 24

2022.12.18 District Message
Scripture Reading: Philippians 4:6-7

There may be many difficulties around you. In your relationships with people, with family, and in various other ways, you may face hardships. Sometimes, even when you go outside, you may encounter difficulties where you feel like there’s nothing you can do.

The age of holy meditation – 24
That’s why God has given you this answer of holy meditation. Now, as the age of holy meditation is opening amid many other movements, you are the main figures to open this age of holy meditation. Therefore, you must surely have this holy meditation timetable. If you look closely at the Bible, you need to start building this personally.

▣ Introduction – What God has given

[Acts 1:3 (40 days)]
Acts 1:3 says, “He spoke about the kingdom of God for 40 days.”
It doesn’t mean we must pray for exactly 40 days. But the fact is, Jesus focused on His disciples for 40 days. He gave them many missions and promises, but why didn’t He just do it in one day? Why did He spend 40 days? This is mentioned in the first service sermon today, but this (Acts 1:3, 40 days) was an extremely important time.

(Past)
Simply put, the disciples were still trapped in their past— their power, their level, everything remained the same as before. It was a time to let go of all of that. We often get trapped in our own thoughts without realizing it. We see people fighting, and they’re caught in their own thoughts. We’re the same. We don’t know the tremendous power of God and get stuck in the past. That’s why Jesus kept explaining for 40 days.

He mainly spoke about two things:
“Is it at this time that you are going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
And He said, “It is not for you to know.”
How could that not be their concern? It was important. But they were still completely trapped in the past.

Wait
So Jesus said, “Wait.” That’s an extremely important statement.

As you finish this year and begin the new one, you must have this (Acts 1:3, 40 days) time. Otherwise, as you grow older, more difficulties will come. The longer you live, the more hardships come. It’s not about whether hardships happen or not—they are bound to happen. But this is the timetable to hold on to God’s tremendous covenant.

[Acts 2:1–13]
Holding on to this, they came down and began to pray. That’s when this event (Acts 2:1–13) happened. You must surely have this time. You don’t need to think so much. If you think, it’s just your own level. We must do it with God’s things. That’s why this work took place. No one else can help you, and even if they try, it won’t work—because it must be from God. If it were something we could do ourselves, we wouldn’t need faith. But there are things we cannot do. So it’s about believing in what God has given. This is the timetable. God has fully prepared and called them to the Mount of Olives.

Don’t worry about anything—just start anew. You can do it alone at home, or during early morning prayer. Just check it daily. If you pray for the fulfillment of the covenant of Calvary, the Mount of Olives, and Mark’s Upper Room, you will surely receive this (Acts 1:3) answer. The biggest answer is realizing, “Ah, I’m thinking wrongly right now.”

When I started this prayer long ago, the answer didn’t come right away. I realized, “Ah, I’m currently in a situation where answers can’t come.” It couldn’t happen.

When I was a young assistant pastor going through a hard time, I began this (Acts 1:3) prayer. No matter how much I prayed, I couldn’t escape my level. The church was having conflicts and fights. I couldn’t join in the fighting, but what could I do? Just watching was hard enough. Especially since I was a pastor—not just a layperson—I had to look at the church situation and pay attention to it.

When I began this (Acts 1:3) prayer, the answer came: “You are also trapped in the same state.” That was the important answer I received. I completely changed my prayer topics. It wasn’t about where I should go or what I should do. I prayed, “Let me enjoy the kingdom of God right here where I am.” My prayer completely changed. That’s nothing special—it’s the Word of God—but it struck my heart.

So, since I was an assistant pastor, I quietly reported to the senior pastor. The pastor was struggling too. I said, “Pastor, there are many hidden disciples in our church.” That’s true. “These disciples must truly receive answers and begin the evangelism movement. If you allow it, I will open an evangelism school every day in our church. I’ll do the lectures.” Of course, the pastor agreed—it was such a good idea.

It was beyond my imagination. We set the schedule and started doing it twice a week. Surprisingly, people became interested and started gathering. I intentionally asked the pastor to teach one lecture, and I taught about evangelism. It’s nothing special, but God changed my life through that. That evangelism school is what I’m still doing to this day. Just by changing one thought.

My thoughts weren’t changing. “This elder is like this, that person is like that…”—that was my thinking. It had nothing to do with God. “Our church is struggling, they’re fighting like that…” That’s how I kept thinking. How could I do world evangelization like that? My level was trash level. So I started praying. I don’t know about others, but I believe I received more blessings in that church than anyone else. The elders who fought all the time, the pastors who took sides and fought—they all failed. I don’t even know where they are now. It’s hard to even find them.

God has opened the doors for world evangelization. It’s not hard at all—it’s about changing your thoughts. “Ah, I see.” I was thinking about things that had nothing to do with God. “Who did what, what’s going on, the situation is like this…” I was always thinking about things unrelated to God. And I called that prayer. But that’s not prayer. So actually, I wasn’t praying at all. From that time, I began to see the tremendous things (Acts 1:3, 2:1–13).

[Acts 2:42]
From then on, worship started happening. Acts 2:42. Wow, worship began to work for me. I began to receive grace. Same pastor, same church, but I began to have many realizations. Then the young adults started rising. The young adults heard my short message, and revival started happening. It wasn’t because they were special—the young adults just started rising.

Before I came here, I already had this definite answer: “Ah, this is God’s work. I’ve been living like an unbeliever. Though people saw me as an assistant pastor, I had the same thoughts as worldly people.” Of course, I had nothing to do with this (Acts 1:3, 2:1–13, 2:42). This is tremendous, but I was living with no connection to it. You are not people who should live like that. You must receive this (Acts 1:3, 2:1–13, 2:42) blessing.

When you go home, your family may give you a hard time. But you’ve received the blessing to pray for them. Right? It can’t be helped. When you go to work, there are always strange people. But you’ve received the blessing to pray for them. All of us—don’t we all think our opinions are right? But we’ve received the blessing to believe in God’s Word.

[Acts 2:46–47]
Eventually, this happens. Day by day, in the temple and from house to house. Then the Word is fulfilled in the pulpit, in the church, in the home, and in the field.

You must receive this blessing today. During today’s first service, you must pray a lot. Acts 1 is a completely different time. Right? You need to realize that. In the Gospels, Jesus was crucified and resurrected. But the time of Acts is a completely different time.

(Philippians 4:6–7)
So in Philippians 4:6–7, it says, “Do not be anxious about anything.” That means there are actually worries. So it says, “Do not worry.” What should you do? “In everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Not just with prayer and petition, but with thanksgiving. That’s an important answer. Then it says, “The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.” What does that mean? The problem is your mind and your thoughts. Right? Your mind and thoughts are important. The Bible mentions this over a thousand times—guard your heart. Right? It says over 300 times that your thoughts are important. And God says He will guard us.

That’s why today’s worship is so important. In that short time, while praying, I thought, “Ah, this is God’s grace. I need to pray.” Even during prayer, I thought that. I don’t know what kind of prayer I used to do. But then, early in the morning, I decided to do this (Acts 1:3). I prepared my notebook and started praying. After I finished, I realized the true answer wasn’t just an answer coming down—it was that my thoughts were wrong. That’s what I realized first.

I kept blaming and thinking about those poor people who don’t know this (introduction) blessing—the congregation, the elders—how hard it must be for them. But I kept thinking at their level. So I was living completely apart from God’s things. I realized that. It’s actually nothing special, but through that, a lifetime of answers came. You are qualified to enjoy this blessing.

〔Unceasing〕
When all of this comes together, what happens? You pray unceasingly. Prayer continues.

24·25·Eternity
This (24·25·eternity) is what happens.
Find this (introduction) and enjoy it. You must surely do so. Like Paul, who said, “Though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”

You must enjoy the true strength God gives you—that way you can save the difficult people around you. If you, precious ones saved to do world evangelization, lose strength, you cannot save the people around you. There may be many circumstances, but don’t make excuses—that’s deceiving yourself. You must unconditionally gain spiritual strength. That’s the timetable that opens in Acts. Last week we started Acts, and today it’s about the ascension of Jesus and raising a new disciple to replace Judas Iscariot.

▣ Main Message

1. Satan
Satan is still trying to control your mind and thoughts. That’s why God tells you not to be deceived. These days, there’s a lot of talk about “finding your heart” or “thought management,” but those things are still deceptions.

2. Holy Meditation (Age)
So you must create this holy meditation timetable. It’s fine to do it anywhere.

1)〔Altar〕
Wherever you are, start building a hidden altar. It may seem like nothing, but your work will come to life, and your life will truly come to life. Of course, you must experience this. Of course, you must receive God’s blessings. Many people don’t even know what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit. You must first receive the filling of the Holy Spirit so that your spiritual state changes. Then, even your body comes to life without you realizing it. And you gain the power to save others. That tremendous answer is what Jesus has given.

2)〔12〕 – Liberation
What is it next? It’s holy meditation that completely liberates you from the twelve strategies of Satan.

3) Throne
Then what? The tremendous power of the throne that is eternally with you—that is yours. No matter what anyone says, it is yours. If you don’t know this (throne) word, your work and business cannot become global.

Transcending Time and Space
The blessing of the throne allows answers to come even while you are just sitting here. Why? Because it transcends time and space. You must enjoy this.

237
You must know the answer of transcending time and space so that your studies, work, career, and whole life can be for the 237 nations.

3. Deep Time
Simply put, the third point is this: Have deep time in prayer.

Food, too—you need deep food to be healthy. I wondered what “deep food” meant, and I found that chefs around the world use the same term. In English, it’s called “Slow Food.” I realized, “Ah!” We often eat instant food quickly, but that food is not healthy. It needs to be food that has been slowly and carefully prepared over time.

Prayer is the same. No matter how busy you are, you must have at least 5 minutes a day of deep time enjoying this blessing (main message 2). Otherwise, you’ll just wake up rushed in the morning. Without realizing it, you’ll think about many problems and worries as soon as you open your eyes. And because you have to live, you’ll end up running around busily. Wherever you go, you’re busy whether things work out or not. Even when you get to the field, it’s hard because of what people say and the various situations. After struggling through the day, you come home exhausted. Then you start thinking, “Is there anything fun?” Right? If you keep living like this, what will happen one day? It’s like driving a car without ever maintaining it. That’s why you must surely find and relay this (main message) blessing to the next generation.

▣ Conclusion –〔10 minutes〕
Even today, during worship, don’t listen to people’s thoughts or voices—enter deep prayer. That brings tremendous healing and power. At the time, you may not realize it. When I prayed, I just quietly said before God, “Deep…” but realization came. What conclusion comes?

The Word
Even if you just hold to the Word and pray for 10 minutes a day, it’s enough. Just wake up, hold onto the Word for 10 minutes.

Prayer
Pray for 10 minutes.

Breathing
While doing that, because you need to gain health, concentrate on breathing for 10 minutes. Breathing is life. This has been scientifically proven. It saves your body, mind, thoughts, and spirit. Just 10 minutes of this prayer is enough.

If you open your spiritual eyes a little, you’ll realize the air in your house is not good because you’re always living in it. What is COVID? It’s bad air. What is a cold? It’s bad air. We’re always breathing that without knowing. Statistics show that more women than men get lung cancer. Why? Because of the work they do—cooking, cleaning, and things pile up. We’ve never truly refreshed the inside of our bodies.

So take that time. In a place with good air, breathe deeply for 5 or 10 minutes and pray. On Sundays, during worship, hold to the covenant all day. Imagine the blessing of God’s kingdom coming everywhere you go. Right? That’s why it says, “He will guard your hearts and your minds.” Because it’s real, during prayer time you must think about this blessing (throne, transcending time and space, 237). During worship today, the power of the throne will come upon you. At that time, God’s work transcending time and space will take place. Spiritual works will arise. You cannot find this anywhere else. Only then can you influence the 237 nations. If your studies and work don’t influence the 237 nations, you cannot do world evangelization.

How thankful is this? He has given this to us by grace. Right? The world doesn’t know this, but He has given us grace. We must not fail to enjoy this. Try it today. After one week, one month, you’ll say, “Wow, this is truly God’s grace.” You’ll see it. “Ah, this is truly God’s power.” Then you won’t think, “This is good or bad.” Instead, you’ll realize, “Ah, many people are living without knowing this. I must serve as a messenger to them.” That’s a witness.

I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus, that today will be a day of gaining the greatest power. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Let today be a day of great new grace. Let today be a day when deep time arises. Let today be a day when even unknown diseases are healed. Let all the sick be filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

 

The Reason for the Three-Day Weekend Age and the Eternal Answer

2024.01.07 District Message
Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 7:1-15

▣ Introduction – 30 Minutes
「Holy Meditation Time」
This morning, I briefly shared a word with our standing committee members and our elder officers. Also, for all of you church leaders here today—because you are important figures—if you take just about 30 minutes of holy meditation time each day, it becomes an extremely important time. It’s not just any meditation time. Just about 10 minutes in the morning—like this.

1. Quietness
We always live in noise, so take time for quietness.

2. Depth
We always live busily, so take time for depth.

3. Peace
We always live with hardship, so take time for peace.

You must do this. Why did I call this holy meditation? Because it includes quietness, depth, and peace, and because you pray together with the Word—that’s why I call it holy meditation. You may not realize it, but you breathe about 20,000 times a day. If someone breathes about 25,000 times, they will start to get sick. So, pray slowly, as if you are breathing only about 10,000 times a day—like this. Do this for just one year. You’ve been breathing incorrectly for decades, haven’t you? That’s why you get sick. From what I see, Kim Jong-un in North Korea seems to breathe about 30,000 times a day. It gets serious. There’s a reason he keeps bringing his daughter with him. If you breathe 40,000 times a day, you’ll soon die. That’s how important it is to pray while breathing slowly.

[7·7·7]
What do you pray for in the morning? Slowly breathe like this and hold to the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost. What God has given you.

[Only, Uniqueness, Re-Creation]
What do you do during the day? Pray so that your work becomes only. If you pray, it will come. But there are many people who live diligently yet lose hold of only. That’s foolishness. There are people who do everything but lose “only.” That’s called living foolishly. Then others will realize that you are receiving answers. That’s called uniqueness. Then you will save others. That’s called re-creation. Simply put, you pray regarding your work and your life.

[237·Healing·Summit]
Next, at night, pray for the church. Pray for the 237 nations to come to the church. Pray for them to be healed when they come. Pray for our remnants to become summit figures. That’s the prayer.

Witness (The Three-Day Weekend Age)
With this, you don’t just end personally—you become a witness. This is the greatest answer. You must experience this. Keep going through prayer. When will the answer come? You don’t even need to worry about that. It’s not like things go faster just because we try to rush. This opens the three-day weekend age. You must hold to this firmly.

「The Reason and the Eternal Answer」
So, this is the reason for the three-day weekend age and the eternal answer. You must surely remember this. What is the standard? To what extent should you receive answers? We all have our own thoughts, right? But receive answers to the point where you realize, “Ah, I don’t need my thoughts.” When you truly receive God’s answers, you don’t need your own thoughts. It’ll even be to the point of being surprised. Right? Either you’ll be surprised, or you’ll gain faith, or you’ll receive assurance. That is the answer. That is the standard of the gospel. Simply put, you don’t need anything else—because you already have it. If you truly have something good, you don’t need anything else. We all live according to our own assertions. But you must receive answers to the point where you no longer need your own assertion. Understand? That’s the standard. We inevitably live hearing people’s voices. But you must receive answers to the point where you don’t even need to listen to people’s voices. You are witnesses to that. You have many problems, right? But you must receive answers to the point where your problems don’t even seem like problems. Right? If they seem like problems, then you’ll have to live within problems. Even when crises come, they won’t seem like crises—they will seem like opportunities. That’s called being a witness. Then you’ll realize, even though it’s hard to come here to this church, if you receive the strength of prayer through this introduction, you are becoming a witness.

24
So, for me, there’s no distinction between morning, day, and night. I just do 24. You can just do 24. The best method is, as soon as you open your eyes, continue this journey (the introduction). Peacefully, quietly, deeply, with this kind of breathing. You must remember this. What happens if you do this for one year? Then you won’t even need a specific timetable. The answers in the Bible will come. That’s the standard. No matter how much you have, if you’re receiving answers not in the Bible, that’s dangerous. Even if you’re doing nothing, if you’re inside the covenant of God’s Word, that’s all you need.

〔Posterity〕
Especially, you must pass this down to our posterity. Why? Because the next generation doesn’t know how to pray, they are suffering greatly—like suffering in Egypt and in the wilderness. They can’t overcome problems, and it’s hard for them to live in the world.

▣ Main Message
So, what answers come when you start this prayer? Why is it the three-day weekend age?

1. Spiritual state
Your spiritual state changes first. “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” Some people tried to explain this as “threefold salvation,” but they probably meant it to explain it well. But it’s actually about order. If you truly gain spiritual strength, other things come alive. That’s called “all things going well.” You gain strength in both spirit and body. That’s what “good health” means. So why did the Bible mention the wilderness, mountains, deserted places, and the seaside?

1) Concentration
Those were times of concentration to gain this blessing and strength. (24, 25, eternity)
Even if you do this for just 30 minutes a day (the introduction), it changes you greatly. What if you do 24? Then the kingdom of God comes. It’s not even something you did—the kingdom of God has come. Then works of eternity come forth. You are qualified to receive this blessing. You are not unqualified to receive this blessing (the introduction). But not receiving it—that’s an imbalance. That’s unfortunate. You must first receive this blessing, but if you receive something else first, you suffer. We must imprint this into our posterity so that they won’t suffer outside anymore.

2) With
That’s why Jesus spent three years of public ministry, and then 40 days. What is that? Training camp. He taught while being with them. That’s the three-day weekend age. You must surely do this.

3) Synagogue
Why did Paul seek the synagogue? The three-day weekend age. If our remnants gain spiritual strength and study with that, they will succeed. If someone studies well without spiritual strength, that’s a problem too—they just don’t realize it yet. The three-day weekend age. You must become the main figure receiving answers in this.

2. Imprint, Root, Nature
Why open the three-day weekend age? To imprint the important things before it’s too late. Our remnants and children must truly be rooted and natured in God’s things. That’s how they receive answers. Those who receive answers are different. Those who receive answers don’t care so much about their own thoughts. Right? If you truly receive answers, you’ll be surprised more than once or twice at how God opens doors and gives answers. You won’t need your own thoughts anymore. So when our remnants face problems outside, they shouldn’t see the problem—they should see the answer. That’s it.

1) Wilderness
Why did they stay in the wilderness for 40 years? Of course—they had to enter Canaan. And once they enter Canaan, they have to do world evangelization.

2) Liberation
They had to be liberated from the place where they were bound to fail.

3) Spiritual summit
Before entering Canaan, they had to become spiritual summits first. That’s why. Do you understand? So let’s open the three-day weekend age and do this.

3. Actualization
What’s more important? Helping them enjoy actual things. Prayer that truly enjoys the gospel.

1) Gospel
Even if you think you know the gospel well, you mostly don’t. Because of your gospel, no one can destroy you.

2) Power
Prayer that enjoys the power of the throne. You must teach this.

3) Evangelism
What is evangelism? It’s saving the three ages—past, present, and future. You must have this and teach it.

4) Ruler of the air
More importantly, you must overcome the ruler of the air. Who is that? Satan. You must overcome him.

5) Five Powers
Finally, what is this? You gain the five powers. You gain spiritual strength. That’s all you need. With that, study. Then wisdom from above will come—that’s intellectual power. And you must be truly healthy. Especially our church leaders, elders, and seniors—you must be healthy. That’s physical strength from above. From then on, you gain financial power—not just any financial power but the economy of light. That’s economic power. And people will come to life—that’s manpower. These are the five powers. So organize what you must do in the three-day weekend age, pass it to our remnants, and enjoy it yourself.

6) Advance
What is CVDIP? Seeing in advance. You must see in advance—you can’t just go and wander around.

7) Courtyard
Ultimately, what is it? The three courtyards. This is opening the three-day weekend age. It’s natural to open it.

So here at our church, this is an opportunity right now. You must prepare to make people say, “Ah, I’m healed when I come to this church.” It’s possible here. Somewhere inside here, we need a summit room or summit center for our remnants. Because there are books that they must read. Our remnants don’t have time to study, so several people can each read one book and have a forum together. We must show them what to look at as we do the evangelism movement until now. We must help them gain real studying strength. This is important. So ultimately, you must receive these 24, 25, and eternal answers.

▣ Conclusion – Eternity –〔Strength〕, 〔Kingdom〕, 〔Masterpiece〕
This (eternity) is this year’s theme. He gives the eternal things so you can receive answers.
24 refers to gaining strength.
25 means the kingdom of God has come.
Eternity means the masterpiece has come forth. This is what we call studies, work, and occupation.

Start from today (the introduction). Sundays are the perfect chance. Don’t keep listening to people’s words—do this (the introduction) all day long on Sunday. That’s why our deaconesses and elders need health. Here, take very quiet, deep, peaceful breaths and continue in prayer on Sunday. What will happen? If you don’t do this (quietness, depth, peace), the things that torment you—depression—will never heal. You must do this. So, if you have cancer, that means your cells are causing problems. If you don’t do this (the introduction), problems will inevitably arise.

You must surely gain the spiritual strength that God gives. You are the witness of this. Then you can save everyone else. The greatest thing is what? Receiving the answers that are in the Bible. There are many churches in the world. What should our church do? We must do what Jesus told us to do. Right? What did the Bible tell us to do? We must do that.

Calvary, Mt Olive, Mark’s Upper Room
In the Old Testament, this (the introduction) was Calvary, Mt Olive, and Mark’s Upper Room—that was the answer. It was prophesied, and even though they were just holding to the prophecy, they still received answers. Jesus came and completed it. Then what about us? We go to fulfill it.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, that today will be the start of a time of prayer to gain the strength that God gives.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Today, let it be the day we raise the bartizan. Let it be the day we find the journey. Let it be the day we see the guidepost of blessing. Let it be the day we restore the five powers. Let it be the day when all darkness and unbelief are broken down. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

How Do You Restore Fellowship with Christ?

John 14:21. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.

The first step to restoring true fellowship with Christ is to receive and believe in Him. John 1:12 says, “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”

Before we can walk closely with Christ, we must first confirm and embrace our identity as God’s children. This is not just a title but a spiritual reality that changes the direction of our lives. We are no longer bound by sin or controlled by circumstances. We are heirs of God’s Kingdom, called to live as Christ’s witnesses in His presence daily.

To maintain this fellowship, we must invite Jesus into every part of our lives. How? By remaining in His Word. John 15:7 says, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”

This requires a heart that yearns for His Word and obeys it. Only then will we understand the depth of His love and experience His living presence. His Word is not a burden but a lifeline that sustains us through every season.

We must also remember that our enemy, the devil, will continuously try to break our fellowship with Christ. First Peter 5:7-8 says, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

The devil attacks by filling our hearts with worry and fear. When we fall into anxiety, we become vulnerable to his lies. In John 8:44, Jesus called him “the father of lies,” and his main tactic is to make us doubt who our Father is and what He can do.

That is why we must stay alert when problems come. Worry is one of the greatest obstacles to experiencing God’s grace. Jesus Christ is the Creator who gave us life and the ultimate victory over Satan. Receiving Him as Lord is not a burden; it is the greatest privilege and joy.

Galatians 2:20 says, “I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” We must nail our selfish thoughts, ambitions, and anxieties to the cross and surrender fully to Christ. Only then will our hearts and minds be guarded against the evil one.

Until Jesus becomes the true Lord of your life, there will be no lasting joy or rest. John 2:1-10 shows that when Jesus turned water into wine, the true celebration began. Likewise, life begins when He reigns fully. Do not run ahead of Him. Do not lag behind. Walk with Him daily.

Run the race set before you.  Lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles, and to persevere in the race of faith. Remove anything in your life that slows you down (Hebrews 12:1). Stop loving the world and its temporary pleasures. Instead, love the Father who lives in you (1 John 2:15).

We were bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20). Our bodies now belong to Christ.  Let us not offer the parts of our bodies to sin, but to offer them to God as instruments for righteousness. Sin is no longer our master; we now live under God’s grace (Romans 6:13-14).

As you enjoy deep fellowship with Christ, His heart for the world will become your heart. Jesus said, “Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people” (Matthew 4:19). This is true success—not living for yourself, but living for the gospel—saving lives through the power of the gospel.

You will never regret going into the world with Christ to save the lost. When you align your life with His mission, you discover true joy and purpose. The world defines success by status and achievement, but God defines success as fulfilling His calling to share the gospel.

Living for this purpose is not a sacrifice—it is the life best lived. Every step you take for the gospel leaves behind an eternal masterpiece, an eternal inheritance, and an eternal legacy. This is the true victory and success that God desires for your life.

Prayer. Lord Jesus, I yield my life to You. Do whatever You desire with my life. Send me wherever You will. Use me for Your glory. In Your precious name I pray. Amen.

Prayer of the Week: July 20, 2025

Father, we thank You for the problems, conflicts, and crises You allowed in our lives to bless us. Raise our remnants to hold the covenant of Christ deeply in their hearts. Let them become spiritual summits who are not swayed by success, hardships, or the future, but who stand firm in faith and prayer. May they build the bartizan of prayer, power, and the future, and boldly confess, “The Lord is my Shepherd; I lack nothing.” Help them enjoy the power of the throne and prepare for world evangelization. Grant them the strength to find 300% answers in every situation, and use them to save the 237 nations and the 5,000 tribes.

May the Triune God work powerfully within me.
Take full control of my soul, heart, thoughts, and body.

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.

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 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.

What to Relay During WRC

Prayer Journal: April 17, 2026
2025.07.20 Sunday 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Ac 17:1, 18:4, 19:8

Thank you. This is something we must absolutely relay to our remnants. There are three things we must absolutely relay during the WRC. In the past, we used to continually evangelize even inside psychiatric hospitals. There are people who are so possessed by evil spirits that they are completely uncontrollable. However, when you proclaim the gospel and sing praises to them, they participate. And when you lead them in prayer, they cannot pronounce the word “Christ.” Their whole body suddenly stiffens. They cannot say it. Why is that? Strangely, when the word “Christ” is mentioned, Jews become enraged, almost like madmen. Why is that? When they healed the cripple in the name of Christ, they arrested Peter and put him on trial because of it. The people were furious, saying, “We told you not to speak of Christ, yet you did!” Isn’t that strange? But Peter said, “For there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” When Stephen preached the gospel, he explained about Christ. And when the Jews heard it, they gnashed their teeth. That’s not something to gnash your teeth over. Yet they gnashed their teeth and stoned Stephen to death. Isn’t that amazing? Do you know what is happening now in America? They are trying to prevent people from using the word “Christmas.” Someone is working to stop it. So now they’ve started to gradually change it to “Holiday.” Why is that? Because “Christ” is in “Christmas.” It’s as if they’re afraid of it. A strange spiritual atmosphere is forming like this.

Genesis 3:15
Of course they are afraid. “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” Of course they’re afraid.

Exodus 3:18
“Go and offer the blood sacrifice. I will stretch out My mighty hand and be with you.”

Isaiah 7:14
“When you become captives, a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son. Call Him Immanuel.”

Matthew 16:16
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus said afterward, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. Upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” That’s frightening.

1 John 3:8
“The Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil.” Of course it’s terrifying.

▣ Main Point

So what must we give to this generation of remnants? There are three things.

1. Acts 17:1-9 – The sure gospel

From Acts 17:1-9, we must give the remnants the sure gospel. Paul explained why Christ had to die on the cross, and why He had to resurrect.

[Christ]

We must clearly explain Christ to the remnants. Christ from before eternity—He existed before the ages. That’s why the forces of darkness tremble. The incarnated Christ. The resurrected Christ. Pray in His name even now. Christ who will return as the coming Lord. Christ who will return as the Judge. This is what the forces of darkness fear so much.

1) 0.1%

Even if just 0.1% of people realize this, they will save the remaining 99.9%.

2) Only, uniqueness, and recreation

Through Christ, our remnants receive the blessing of only, uniqueness, and recreation.

3) 300%

With this, create the 300% masterpiece that will carry out world evangelization—from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. Christ has already resolved all problems of the past, present, and future. We must relay this.

– The age of the three courtyards

So our remnants must return and open the age of the three courtyards.

2. The sure journey – Acts 18:1-4 [the three-day weekend age]

This time, we must teach the remnants the sure journey. Acts 18:1-4. This is the beginning of the three-day weekend age. Our remnants must return and open the three-day weekend age and receive answers. Teach our remnants what prayer truly is. Help them take the power of prayer with them. You must do this as well.

1) Daily

What to do daily.

2) Every hour

What to do every hour.

3) In everything

What to do in every matter. The remnants don’t need to ask, “How should I pray?” or “Where should I pray?” There’s no need to ask.

1) Daily (morning, noon, night)

When you open your eyes, prayer should begin naturally. This is a gift you must give to the remnants. We do not pray when something happens. That’s a misunderstanding of prayer. We work inside of prayer. We must create this. Our remnants must open their eyes in the morning and receive the power that comes from above. They must study with that. It’s completely different. What about noon? It is for checking—checking the works of the Kingdom of God. What about at night? It is for finding answers. We must quickly recover this.

2) Every hour (strength)

Remnants, “every hour” means during the day. Here, you must confirm the important things. You must confirm the important things and gain the strength God gives.

3) In everything (masterpiece)

In everything, create the 300% masterpiece. This is the journey. If the remnants properly understand prayer, they can do everything. In a sense, prayer is not limited to a location. You can pray anywhere. Prayer is not about setting a time to pray. It’s about meeting all time within prayer. You must surely take this.

[Psalms 5:3]

This is what David said in Psalms 5:3, “In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice.”

[Psalms 23:1]

Today’s message, Psalms 23:1, is prayer during the day. “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are my Shepherd. I lack nothing.” This was David’s prayer during the day.

[Psalms 17:3]

“You examine me at night.”

We have many adults here now, and even if you don’t know anything else, you must recover this power of prayer. If you don’t, you will continue to repeat the same problems. It’s regrettable. Our remnants need to study well, but that is secondary. If you go out with this power, the answers will come before you even compete. During this conference, remnants must surely hold onto who Christ is. They must recover what prayer truly is. Where you are is not the issue. If you can pray, you can do it anywhere. Some people stop praying when difficulties come, but isn’t it natural to pray when difficulties come? For us, it’s different. We go to every field within prayer. We must create this.

Paul knew this and went into the synagogues every Sabbath. The people there worshipped and prayed, so he taught them what the gospel is and what prayer is.

3. The sure background – Acts 19:8 [holy meditation age]

This time, we must surely teach them about the sure background. That’s Acts 19:8. This is how you become the protagonist of the holy meditation age. Paul is explaining here what Jesus explained for 40 days.

1) The power of the throne (root)

The background of you and the remnants is separate. It is the power of the throne. It is a different world. You must truly believe and pray. Why do we pray? Because the power of the throne is ours. Jesus explained for 40 days. Without this, you cannot do world evangelization. I say this clearly. There are many people around you with depression and such. Don’t worry. If they change to God’s bartizan, it will disappear. They will gain power instead. So what is it? Heal the root. You must have fundamental power.

2) The Kingdom (imprint)

This is our background. When you pray, the forces of darkness collapse, and the Kingdom of God is established. At this time, the imprints are completely healed. You don’t need to worry.

3) The work (recreation)

Jesus explained the background. For 40 days, He explained the Kingdom of God and the work of the Kingdom. What is this? Recreation. The work of God’s Kingdom is fulfilled. Without these three, healing is impossible. For other kinds of healing, you can go to the hospital. Follow what the doctor says. But doctors cannot heal the root. They cannot do it. This can only be resolved by the name of Christ and only by the power of the Kingdom of God. This time, our remnants must taste this. “Ah, that’s right. Christ is truly the solution to all problems.”

▣ Conclusion – [Spiritual Summit]

So you must surely pray. Make all the remnants spiritual summits. So what do we recover this time?

1. Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Recover this. God gathered the Israelites in the wilderness and spoke to them for the last time. Completely imprint these events to the next generation. That’s the work. Completely imprint the remnants with the great history that has happened so far.

2. 1 Samuel 7:1-15

They came out of Egypt, but kept suffering under the Philistines. Darkness does not disappear. Here comes something important. This is the Mizpah movement. But the key is, look carefully. At the time of the lamb’s blood sacrifice, the darkness crumbled. That is Mizpah. Of course, throwing away idols is natural.

3. 2 Kings 6:8-24

In every age, darkness does not disappear. Next Sunday’s message will be about the Dothan movement. They won without fighting through the Dothan movement. Our remnants must win without fighting. If you truly receive answers, God has prepared 100% for our remnants. In the fields where remnants go, everything is 100% prepared. For the future of the remnants, everything is 100% prepared. Not 99%, but 100%. That’s why I say 300%. If you hold onto this, you will absolutely win. Otherwise, our remnants will suffer their whole lives, barely eating, struggling with basic needs, and then die. That makes no sense. Unconditionally pray. 300%. Why? Because you must do world evangelization. Just hold onto the covenant.

4. Isaiah 62:6-12

It says, “I have set watchmen on your walls. Give the Lord no rest day and night. Build up the highway.” You must lay the highway so people can come. “Raise up a banner for all nations.” This is the movement. Make spiritual summits.

5. Synagogue – The era of wanderers

And lastly, what came out today? The synagogue. These three synagogues later saved the era of wanderers. This is very important.

If you miss this part, remnants will suffer several pains. When they go out and compete, they will always lose because they do not have this. And they will spend their whole lives tormented by problems of food, clothing, and shelter, then die. That must not happen. Remnants must prepare for world evangelization. So who is Christ? What is the gospel? The gospel is what resolved the problem from before eternity. The God who existed from the beginning came in human flesh to show the reality of saving mankind. Even now, when you pray in His name, works happen. The resurrected Christ takes full responsibility for our future. This must be relayed. Then, it doesn’t matter where remnants are. They can pray anywhere. You must gain strength through prayer. You must be happy through prayer. Especially if you are sick—don’t be afraid. You must fully challenge. Fear itself becomes a problem. Right? Challenge. It is an opportunity to experience God’s power. You must experience what the power of the throne is. Wherever you go, the Kingdom of God comes. After that, the work of the Kingdom of God is fulfilled. These three things were taught. In the synagogue.

This time, the remnants are not just having another conference but are experiencing God’s power. They are taking the mystery of prayer that allows them to win anywhere. And they must go toward the future.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this week you will gain the same strength through much prayer. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, during this week and the WRC, work upon us so that all church members may recover their power. May all remnants go holding onto the strength that comes from God. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

The Disasters of Rome and World Evangelization

2025.07.20 District Message 29th Week
Scripture Reading: Jn 16:11-14, 2 Co 10:4-5, Jn 8:44

There is no other book where this is written. It is recorded only in the Bible.
John 16:11-14, John 8:44, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
About Satan, the Bible refers to him as the ruler of this world. That means he is ruling over the world. Furthermore, he is called the deceiver, the liar, and the destroyer. Jesus said, “You are of your father the devil.” Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 that Satan has built strongholds within us. This is not something Jesus mentioned casually. When Jesus was speaking to the descendants of Abraham, to the Jews, He said this (John 8:44). When He concluded His last message, in John chapters 14, 15, 16, and 17, He spoke about the Holy Spirit. At that time, He also spoke about evil spirits. He said, “This is the ruler of the world.”

Disasters (Rome) and World Evangelization
Because people do not know this, they do not understand why disasters come. They do not know why disasters come, but finally, disaster came upon Rome. Therefore, you must absolutely remember disasters and world evangelization.

▣ Introduction_ The Opposite Direction
Rome became a Christian nation. But because they did not know this (John 16:11-14, John 8:44, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5), they kept going in the opposite direction. This is a terrifying story. Even though Rome became a Christian state, they kept going in the wrong direction because they did not know this (John 16:11-14, John 8:44, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5). When you help church members, you must strengthen and help them because of this (John 16:11-14, John 8:44, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5). Also, when you see people struggling spiritually, you must understand and help them because the cause is this (John 16:11-14, John 8:44, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5). Even though spiritual problems like idol worship have spread all over the world, they do not know why. This should be in every book, but it is not. But because the Bible is the Word of God, it is recorded only in the Bible. While everyone else says to worship idols, the Bible is the only one that says not to. Why? Because if you worship idols, this (John 16:11-14, John 8:44, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5) happens. More and more. If you are curious about the future, some people go fortune-telling, some do shamanistic rituals. The more they do that, the more this (John 16:11-14, John 8:44, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5) happens.

1. Religious Authority
When Rome became prosperous, they completely revealed religious authority. To the extent that they even picked fights with the kings. Would the kings stay still? “What? How dare they pick a fight with me?” That’s why there were constant fights. The biggest problem in Roman history is that the pope and the emperor fought. They fought continuously. Also, since the king was a believer, he had to attend church. When he came to church, he had to participate in worship. At that time, they often held communion. According to church law, if someone had done wrong, they were not allowed to participate in communion. That is also unbiblical, but that’s how they decided it. So they disciplined the emperor, saying, “You cannot participate in communion because of your mistake.” Can you imagine the humiliation? Would the emperor just stay still? These kinds of fights continued.

2. Tyranny
They also committed all kinds of tyranny. At this time, Luther appeared. Luther did not point out their mistakes but spoke about the gospel. Luther did not intend to fight against them. He simply proclaimed the gospel.

3. Death Sentence
As you know, the church had so much power that they sentenced Luther to death. It is terrifying. The church exercised religious authority, committed tyranny, and killed anyone who did not obey. Even Joan of Arc from France was killed by them. Simply put, there was a war between England and France. Joan of Arc said she received a revelation during prayer and went out to battle. She actually won the battle. But there were factions. Some said, “Don’t send her. We cannot send a girl to battle.” Others said, “Send her.” After she won, the people who supported sending her became leaders. In the end, the English church sentenced Joan of Arc to death because she was the daughter of their enemy, France. Even to the end, Joan of Arc pleaded, “Send me to the papal court for trial.” But they never sent her and killed her. The church did this because they did not know.

▣ Main Point

1. One Person
All it takes is one person who knows this fact. When they mocked Luther, he quoted Paul’s words: “I am not ashamed of the gospel.” No matter how much they insult him, he was not ashamed. “For it is the power of God for salvation, first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.” And, “The righteous shall live by faith.” Believe in Christ, who resolved this problem. All you need to do is believe. This is not something you do—it is something you believe. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be the day when invisible problems are resolved. One person was enough.

1) Slave
Even though they became slaves, one person realized this.

2) War
Look at the Bible. Wars broke out.

3) Captivity
They were taken as captives.

4) Colony
They became a colony. All kinds of histories happened. One person who understands this is enough. You must believe. Just one person who understands this will save their family line. If you are going to believe, believe firmly. Right? You must believe the correct facts firmly. This is not “It’s good if you believe.” If you don’t believe this, it is a disaster.

2. One Team
Even one team that understands this is enough.

1) 237
If one team rises, they can save the 237 nations.

2) 5000
They can save the 5,000 tribes.

3) TCK, CCK, NCK
What’s next? They can save the shaken TCKs, the CCKs who are completely trapped in darkness, and even the abandoned NCKs. T is the third culture kids. C is for cross-culture. N is for not—those outside of any cultural sphere. There are children like this. One team can save them.

3. One Church
Even if just one church realizes this, many things will happen through that one church.

1) Early Church (Paul’s Team)
The early church alone brought about historical events. With just Paul’s team, world evangelization happened.

2) Luther – Calvin
As you know, when people like Luther and Calvin rose, one team came out, one church rose, and the world was revived. You only need to believe.

3) One Person (One Household)
Among you, one church leader—the church leader who helped Luther—saved everything. That was one household. I’ve personally visited it. It was amazing. They hid Luther after he was arrested to save his life. We went to that house. It’s a big house. We even went into the room where they hid Luther, where he translated the Bible. How great of a blessed work did that person do? From that person, that church started and evangelized the whole world.

▣ Conclusion

1. Prayer 300%
Hold onto this covenant and do not worry about anything. Pray 300%. I will explain this more during the worship.

2. Work 300%
Then your work will become 300%. It will surely be made like this.

3. Evangelism and Mission 300%
Evangelism and mission 300%. That is how it will come out.

Even if you are in the midst of great difficulty, through you, the field will change, your family will be saved, and though you are just one person, you will save the nation. This is what happened. This is a very important message in the Bible, but I had never heard it once when I was young. Not once. So I wondered, why doesn’t anyone tell this story? Jesus spoke about it so importantly.

May all the darkness around you be bound in the name of Jesus Christ while you open your eyes and worship today. Let us pray.

Prayer. Lord, grant us new grace today. Grant us new strength we have never had before. Grant us new answers. Let today be a day of healing as we pray all day long. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

All the Hardships That Began for David Became Blessings

Prayer Journal: April 16, 2026
2025.07.20 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Psalm 23:1-6

▣ Introduction: What We Must First Tell the Remnants

Thank you. Now, the World Remnant Conference is approaching. Globally, it is referred to as “WRC.” There are two things we must absolutely tell the remnants first. The covenant that enters at a young age becomes the power of their lifetime. Every hardship that follows afterward becomes a blessing. So, there are three things we must first tell the remnants. That is the introduction. What is the first thing we must tell them?

1. Remnants, do not worry about success. Become the spiritual summit first.

Remnants, do not worry about success. Become the spiritual summit first. That is already success. Spiritually, you have become a king. Spiritually, you have become a president. Not an actual king, but something higher—a spiritual king.

1) The person of praise and the person of prayer who possesses the sure covenant at a young age

At a young age, they possessed the mystery of prayer. They already had the sure covenant when they were young. They were a person of praise who could save countless people, to the extent that evil spirits would flee. They were a person of prayer.

2) The skill to defeat lions and bears

And how skilled were they? They had such tremendous ability that they defeated lions and bears.

3) Make 300% before graduating

Do not worry about success. Make 300%. Make it before graduating. That is what it means to be a remnant. There is no need to worry about such things.

2. Remnants, do not fear false accusations and persecution.

The second thing you must know first. When you go outside, tremendous illegality, false accusations, and suffering await you. You must be prepared.

1) King Saul possessed by an evil spirit – Wounds

After David defeated Goliath, news spread throughout the whole nation. But it didn’t end there. As David grew up, he continued to defeat the Philistines. As long as David existed, Goliath—the Philistines—could no longer invade. So King Saul appointed David as the commander of the army. Not only that, he made him his son-in-law—in today’s terms, he appointed him the Minister of Defense. At that time, the prince Jonathan took off his robe and gave it to David. He expressed his deep respect and love for David. He even gave him his sword and everything else. When David returned after victory, the whole nation went wild. Especially, people speak recklessly, right? The people went wild saying, “If Saul killed thousands, David killed ten thousands.” King Saul, who had no covenant, was pierced by this. He was deeply wounded. “What? I, the king, killed only thousands, and David ten thousands?” He was severely wounded. Originally, King Saul was already tormented by evil spirits. Hearing those words gave him a deep wound. There are many people like that. For example, if someone cuts you off on the road and swears at you, I usually just say, “I’m sorry.” There are too many insane people. Don’t fight. Some people cannot stand that and end up killing someone with a hammer. Who, in their right mind, would bash someone’s head with a hammer just because they cut them off? The problem was that King Saul became possessed by an evil spirit. He was seized by Satan. From that moment, all kinds of incidents began.

2) David who escaped numerous hardships and crises of death

What was the first thing that happened? While David was sitting, Saul threw a spear at him. David, being quick, dodged it. The spear stuck into the wall. That’s when David realized, “Ah, King Saul is trying to kill me.” So he fled the palace. He had a final farewell with Jonathan and ran away. But King Saul could not give up. People who are seized by darkness continue until death. They never give up.

So he made a second attempt. He called in soldiers. “Kill him while he’s sleeping at night.” He sent assassins. But someone told David about this. “Assassins will come to kill you tonight.” Who told him? Saul’s daughter, David’s wife, told him. “Run away.” So they made a human-shaped doll and laid it in bed while David escaped. Who can defeat armed soldiers? They barged in and stabbed what they thought was David sleeping, only to find out they had been tricked. From that point, David could not even stay at home anymore. He had to flee somewhere he could hide.

What did he do? He had to run to the mountains or fields or some remote area. Saul mobilized soldiers to hunt him down and kill him, so he fled. Imagine how anxious he must have been. In the midst of death, David said, “The valley of the shadow of death.” He hid in a cave. That cave was called “En Gedi.” He hid there. But Saul’s army was searching for David. It’s easy to say, but if you were in that situation, what would you do? During that time, King Saul entered the cave. Many people wonder, “Why did he go in there?” I think it was because it was hot, so he went in to rest. When you enter a cave from the outside, you can’t see anything. He didn’t know David was inside. Saul lay down and rested, while David hid in the cave. At that moment, David took a knife and cut off a corner of Saul’s robe.

※ The leisure of the remnant who cut the robe without killing the enemy

This is the leisure of the remnant. Amazing, isn’t it? He didn’t kill the king. He just cut the robe. He could have killed him since he was an enemy, but he only cut the robe. Our remnants need to learn this kind of leisure. When problems come, people are too anxious. But David had leisure. He cut the robe and waited. When Saul got up and left, David called out to him from behind. He called him “Father.” How shocked must Saul have been? To hear David’s voice coming from the cave! So Saul said, “Who are you? Is that you, David?” One-on-one, Saul could never defeat David. So David showed him the piece of the robe. “I did not kill you, Father.” Even though he cut his robe. Then Saul wept and said, “My son, I’m sorry. God will bless you.” But this man was too extreme. So he told his soldiers, “Let’s go back.”

But after a few days, he came back again. “We have to kill him.” So he dragged the army again to catch David. At that time, David was hiding in the mountains. At night, everyone has to sleep, right? So King Saul was resting, with bodyguards on both sides. The guards held swords and water bottles, protecting him. But they dozed off while keeping watch. During that time, David took the water bottle. Amazing. Later, he showed it to King Saul. It meant, “Let’s not fight.” Again, Saul was moved. But it’s no use. Once you’re caught by Satan, it’s hard to win.

Later, Saul came again, saying this time he really must kill David. David, realizing there was nowhere else to go, went to a priest. Saul found out and killed the priest and his followers.

David had nowhere else to go. Where did he go? Something unimaginable happened. He fled to the enemy nation—the Philistines. He asked for mercy. So the Philistines protected David. But David overheard someone talking nearby. What did they say? “Do you know who that is? That’s David, the one who defeated Goliath. He’s the one who killed our champion Goliath in a single blow. Recently, he defeated our army and became a commander. Now he has come here himself. This is a golden opportunity. We should kill him.” That’s what they said. Of course, that’s what the Philistines would say. David heard this. What did he do? He was as good as dead. At that moment, David acted like a complete fool. So you could say David was also good at acting. He drooled, smeared spit in his beard. Seeing this, the Philistine soldiers said, “We don’t need to kill him.” And so David escaped death again. He suffered countless hardships.

3. Remnants, do not worry about the future. There is a separate background.

Remnants, do not worry about success. Do not fear false accusations and persecution. Do not worry about the future. Why? Because there is a separate background.

1) The absolute bartizan of prayer

David already possessed the absolute bartizan of prayer when he was young, as a shepherd. If you have this, it’s enough.

2) The bartizan of power

When he fought Goliath, he had the bartizan of power.

3) The bartizan of the future

When he met Samuel, he already had the clear bartizan of the future. He could win.

We must tell this fact to the remnants.

▣ Main Point_ David’s confession of faith

Then briefly, let’s listen to David’s confession of faith in the main point.

※ Out loud prayer, memorizing much of the Word – confession of faith

If you know prayer, you know about praying out loud, right? It’s very important. If you know prayer and have the covenant, tremendous healing takes place in your brain during out loud prayer. So, people of confession and faith memorized much of the Word. Today, three great confessions of David come out here.

1. I lack nothing.

First, he said in the midst of hardship, “I lack nothing.” That was David’s confession. “I lack nothing. I don’t need anything more.” He confessed this in the midst of crisis. This is an amazing confession.

1) What King Saul, the officials, and the crowd sought, plotted, and calculated

“I don’t need what King Saul seeks. I don’t need what the officials keep plotting and making up. I don’t need what the crowd keeps calculating and watching for.” That was his first confession. This must become the confession of our remnants to succeed. There’s nothing more you need.

2) I am not going to succeed or become famous. I’m going to save those who have fallen.

We are not going to succeed or become famous. We are going to save the people who have fallen behind.

2. Because the Lord is my Shepherd

The second confession came out. What is it? “Because the Lord is my Shepherd.” He knew the way to be led by God.

1) Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear.

“Because the Lord is my Shepherd.” It’s not just words. He knows. “I am clearly walking through the valley of the shadow of death, but I will not fear.” He said, “Because the Lord is my Shepherd.” He knows about shepherds. He’s done it himself.

2) The Lord is my fortress, shield, refuge, King. The Lord will not abandon me.

He made many confessions. “The Lord is my fortress.” That’s where the words come from. “The Lord is my shield. The Lord is my refuge. The Lord is my King. Even if my parents abandon me, the Lord will not abandon me.” These are David’s confessions.

3) Your rod and your staff protect me

“Your rod and your staff protect me.” It’s the same thing. When you guide sheep, you use a rod, right? And you hit wild animals to protect them—that becomes the staff. It’s the same. God protects and guides you and the remnants.

3. I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

The third confession. “I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” It is the confession of enjoying the background of the power of the throne. It’s amazing. “Even though I’m here now, I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” It’s an incredible confession.

1) Enjoying the throne, the kingdom, and His work (Psalms 103:20-22)

Enjoying the throne, the kingdom, and His work. You know what happens when the Kingdom of God comes, right? David confessed this in Psalms 103. In verse 20: “Bless the Lord, you His angels who excel in strength, who do His word.” In verse 21: “Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, you ministers of His, who do His pleasure.” In verse 22: “Bless the Lord, all His works, in all places of His dominion.” This is tremendous praise, prayer, and confession.

2) David who built 1,000 bartizans

Later, David built 1,000 bartizans.

3) David who built the eternal bartizan

And he built the eternal bartizan. He prepared for temple construction perfectly. Every hardship becomes a blessing.

▣ Conclusion

There are two things the remnants must hold onto.

1. Every covenant of the gospel becomes power, and every hardship becomes a blessing.

Every covenant becomes power. The covenant of the gospel becomes power. Then every hardship becomes a blessing.

2. Enjoy the happy blessing.

1) Daily (Psalms 5:3 morning, Psalms 17:3 night, Psalms 23:1 day)

As our elder prayed, David enjoyed the happy blessing daily. Psalms 5:3 says, “In the morning, You will hear my prayer.” Psalms 17:3 says, “You have tested me by night.” And in the day, he said, “The Lord is my Shepherd; I lack nothing.” That cannot be stopped. “It’s okay even if I die.” A person who says it’s okay to die cannot be stopped. He gave thanks even when facing death. Daniel. David also wrote many words of thanks—daily. Enjoy this happiness.

2) Every hour – you must gain strength.

Every hour. Did you hear our elder praying today? Every hour, you must gain strength.

3) In everything – find the 300% answer.

In everything, you must begin to find the 300% answer. You will win. Remnants can surely win. Do not worry about anything. Hold onto this covenant.

3. You must receive God’s blessing to the extent that you save world evangelization and the 5,000 tribes.

The overseas remnants you invited—this is not a small blessing, is it? When we built the RUTC, and when we raise remnants through OMC scholarships, most of it is done by Immanuel Church. We were number one in building the RUTC.

1) The church leader who saved Luther

I often remember when Elder Han Dong-Hoon introduced me to the house where Luther lived. One church leader saved Luther. He must have risked his life, right? At that time, you could not hide such things. But he hid him. I was so thankful. This is God’s work. When you enter this, that person is the one who is blessed.

2) The hospital and church built with mission offerings

A few weak people gathered and gave offerings. Because women in Korea were dying during childbirth, they built a small hospital. They couldn’t even climb the mountain village to give the offering. They built a church for the suffering people in our village. Do you think that is a small thing? Even what you did with such devotion last time is not a small thing.

3) The offerings of the 15 nations’ workers at the early church

The offering from the businesspeople of 15 nations at the early church was the beginning of world evangelization.

4) The Antioch Church

When famine came upon the world, God blessed the Antioch Church. They were blessed enough to help the Jerusalem Church and others.

Today, some of our elders came and said, “Offerings have decreased. They are giving less.” It’s true, overall, people doing business in Korea are struggling right now. So even the fact that you still give precious offerings is amazing. But we must pray. The moment I heard that, I said, “Alright. From next week, I will double my offering.”

We must do world evangelization. Of course, you must receive God’s blessing to the extent that you can save the 5,000 tribes. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that you will stand as witnesses in all the blessings that will come in the future.

Prayer. God, we thank You. The Remnant Conference is ahead. Please work so that the nations trapped in darkness may receive the light. They are in such difficulty. Help us to deliver spiritual strength to them. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
