Salvation is God’s Choice

2025.12.21 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Ephesians 1:1-14

▣ Introduction
Thank you. There is one week left in this year.
1. Because we do not clearly know what the gospel (salvation) is and what the blessings of those who are saved are
We must ask several questions.
1) They are great powers, yet why are there so many disasters and people with mental illnesses? They are successful and are great powers, so why are there so many disasters? Strangely, the more powerful a nation is, why are there more people with mental illnesses? We must ask.
2) Why are many believers not receiving the answers that are in the Bible?
3) Churches cannot evangelize and there are many non-self-supporting churches. The more important question is that 90% of churches cannot evangelize. Why is that? Non-self-supporting churches are 60 to 70%. Why is that? Today, we need to listen to Paul’s confession. We must confirm what the person who did world evangelization said about the Word he received from God.
Simply put, people do not clearly know what the gospel is. That means they do not clearly know what salvation is. What is more important is that we must know what the blessings of those who are saved are. Then we know who we are. Then when I look at you, I come to know that tremendous value.
2. Paul’s confession
We need to listen to that confession. He confessed like this.
1) Salvation is a miracle, and the blessings of those who are saved are tremendous.
“I, Paul, an apostle by the will of God,” he said. “I write to the faithful brothers in Ephesus. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” And then he said, “Blessed be. He has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Moreover, He chose you in Christ before the foundation of the world. According to the good pleasure of His will, He predestined you, and through Christ He made you sons. This was so that you might praise the glory of His grace. According to the riches of His grace, He redeemed you through His blood and obtained forgiveness of sins. For the administration of the fullness of the times, He united all things—things in heaven and things on earth. According to His will, He predestined you and made you His inheritance. And He sealed you with the Holy Spirit.” He stamped you as His own with the Holy Spirit. “This is the guarantee of our inheritance.” It is tremendous. It is a miracle. The fact that you received that blessing is a miracle. You just do not know it.
2) When you come to know this, the way you see yourself and believers changes. They are extremely precious people, and it is a miracle.
Then the way we see believers changes, and the way we see you changes, and we realize they are extremely precious people. Right? There are many multiethnic people sitting among us, and that is a miracle. Did you go overseas and evangelize them? Did you run errands so that they would be saved? Did you make them disciples? And did they come all the way here in order to receive grace? It is a miracle. Unless those eyes are opened, it has nothing to do with the blessings Paul received. Today, you must grope and think about this once again.
Someone once came from abroad to meet with me. He was not Korean, but he spoke Korean extremely well. No interpreter was needed. His pronunciation was exactly like a Korean person’s. So I asked, “How are you so good at Korean?” He said he studied Korean diligently. I asked how he learned it, and he said he learned it by watching Korean dramas. Then do you know what he said? When I asked, “Why did you come to Korea?” he said, “I like Korea so much.” What he said next was even more amusing. “I like Christ so much.” How is that? It is a miracle. When you see something like this, you say, “How can this be!”
One missionary went to a remote island nation for missions and became ill. When his health improved slightly, he returned to Korea. He later passed away after returning. Then his daughters came afterward. They began a missions movement in Busan. I began my life of faith at the church they established. It is a miracle.
Look at Pastor Salam here now. He came to Korea to work. But a deacon from our Immanuel Seoul Church shared the gospel with him. He received the gospel. His life was completely changed. He graduated from our RTS. Then he became a pastor and began preaching the gospel in his own country. In that country, preaching the gospel is forbidden. They arrest and imprison you. They falsely accuse you of murder. He even received a death sentence in court. It is a frightening country. They fabricated lies and issued a death sentence. After that, they applied pressure. “If you do not believe in Jesus, we will let you go.” They pressured him. We received contact and were told to pass it on to Pastor Ryu. He said, “I am fine. Please do not worry. My country needs Christ. I am fine even if I die.” That is what he said. By God’s grace, he survived. Then the church began to grow rapidly. Even with such persecution, many people began to be saved. His family even removed him from the family registry. How terrifying is that situation? He even changed his surname. He changed it to Ryu. This is real.
Yesterday, a pastor came and gave a report. In that foreign country, they cannot even attend retreats like we do. This person attended our retreat, listened to my sermon once, and received the grace of complete salvation. Then he wanted to attend retreats in the United States or other countries, so he applied for leave. They would not grant him leave. Seeing how desperate he was, he said, “Then I will resign.” After hearing the pastor’s story, they granted him 40 days of leave. He attended retreats, and he said tremendous fruit and works were taking place all around him.
3. We must return to the heart of Paul who confessed “Blessed be!” out of deep gratitude
What Paul said today is that we must return to that heart. What did he say? He did not say, “I am thankful because of this and that.” If you are truly thankful, what do you do? If you are truly grateful, you first say, “Thank you,” and then speak. “Thank you so much.” What does someone who is truly starving say? They do not say, “Please prepare a full table of food.” Someone who is truly starving says, “Please give me just one spoonful of rice.” The rich man who was in hell said it, did he not? He did not say, “Give me a bowl of water.” He said, “Give me just one drop of water.”
What Paul said today is that immediately in verse 3 he said, “Blessed be.” And then he explained everything. Normally, he would explain and then say, “I praise You,” but instead he made the shocking confession, “Blessed be!” “Blessed be. He blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, and moreover, before the foundation of the world He chose us and saved us.” He poured out that confession today.

▣ Main point_ What does it mean to praise
Paul transformed the world. Now, what is it that he praises so much? We need to look at the entire Book of Ephesians.
1. Blessed be for giving us true destiny and completely liberating us (verse 3)
He said, “I praise Him for giving us true destiny and completely liberating us.” In verse 3 today it says, “He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.”
1) He saw God who liberated us from curse, disaster, and darkness.
Simply put, he saw and praised “the God who liberated us from curse, disaster, and darkness.” If a slave is liberated, what happens? A captive has been liberated. A colonized people have been liberated. A person who was in prison has been liberated. He praised this tremendous reality.
2) To Paul, who praised this, God gave the work of saving the entire world.
To this Paul, God gave the work of saving the entire world. Today, you do not even need to think long or practice anything. You must think today.
3) While many souls around the world are dying, there is no concern. The church must begin prayer and save them.
Many souls around the world are dying, yet there is no concern. This is not a small problem. We should be looking at this and thinking we must save them, but there is no concern at all. If your child fell into a swamp and you as a parent had no concern and just watched, what would happen? If your child got lost in a dangerous forest and you said, “They will find their way back,” that is what is happening now. Darkness has covered the entire land, and now countries are emerging where 40% of elementary school students are taking medication. What about Korea? I heard it directly from an elementary school teacher in Korea. They have to take medication to study. A serious situation has occurred. There is no concern at all. Politicians have no concern. It is not that they do not want to do anything; they cannot. It is not do not, it is cannot. This is serious. Now the church must begin prayer and truly praise this God and save people. That is the prayer we must pray. There is nothing else to worry about. God entrusted everything to Paul. Not in order to gain something, but because of this.

2. Blessed be for giving us true power (verse 8)
What is he praising? In verse 8 it says, “He lavished it on us with all wisdom and understanding.” God gave us true power.
1) He gave us His name so that we could save the entire world (Ephesians chapter 3).
In Ephesians chapter 3, He gave us that name so that we could save the entire world. He gave us the name that can save the nations. We praise that God. Why is that?
2) Great powers, small nations, and religions cannot save the world.
Great powers do not have the power to save the world. They have caused wars, but they do not have the power to save the world or save people. Then can small nations save the world? They cannot. Religions cannot save the world. That God gave us this gospel is an astonishing thing.
3) Therefore, the age of mental illness, the age of addiction, and the age of suicide have come.
So three ages have come: the age of mental illness, the age of addiction, and even more shocking, the age of suicide. Children are committing suicide. If someone with severe spiritual problems committed suicide, we might understand. If someone committed suicide because life was too hard, we might somewhat understand. But children are committing suicide. They attempt suicide and come to the emergency room, and 87% are young adults.

3. Blessed be God who gave us a true mission
We praise God who gave us a true mission. That is the third thing. What is it?
1) The mission to save the church (Ephesians chapter 4).
In Ephesians chapter 4, God gave us the mission to save the church.
2) The power to save the next generation (Ephesians chapter 5).
In Ephesians chapter 5, He gave us the power to save the next generation.
3) The power to overcome Satan (Ephesians chapter 6).
In Ephesians chapter 6, we give thanks and praise to God who gave us the power to overcome Satan. Today, we must restore this.
Next week, 2025 will end. One year passes, and a new year begins. We give thanks to God who gave us the most important thing, salvation. We give thanks and praise to God who delivered us from darkness and countless sins. When this happens, do you know what takes place? In Ephesians chapter 6, the work of completely breaking down Satan takes place.

▣ Conclusion_ What to restore
As we send off this year, what must we restore?
1. Restore thanksgiving
We must restore thanksgiving. When thanksgiving is restored, healing takes place. There are many medicines, but the best medicine is sincerely giving thanks. Japanese people use words of thanks often. Americans also say it often. They say “Thank you” a lot. Even when they do not like something, they say, “No, thank you.” When you look at Japanese people, even when someone has already left, they continue bowing and saying, “Thank you, thank you.” That is good. But that is not what I am talking about.
This thanksgiving that heals my soul, restores today’s worship, and gives me the power to heal everything today must arise. That is what it means to praise.
2. Restore praise
If you restore praise today, you overcome darkness. The choir is extremely important. Of course, they serve with a sense of mission, and that is something to be thankful for.
1) When David praised, the evil spirit departed.
When David praised, the evil spirit departed.
2) When Paul praised in the midst of hardship, miracles took place.
In the midst of hardship, Paul praised, and miracles took place. This praise, praising God, is not just praise—it is praise that completely overcomes darkness.
3) Tremendous status and authority are revealed.
Restoring thanksgiving brings healing, but restoring praise reveals tremendous status and authority. He said to praise that God. Today, you must restore the praise that Paul offered when he said, “Blessed be.”
One day, I realized that I could not praise. One day. Shouldn’t we be praising? Praise. But I could not do it. Instead, worldly songs felt better. One day, I realized that. In the past, I drove a lot. One day, I realized there were more worldly songs playing. It is not that worldly songs are bad, but there were more of them. One day, I discovered that. While driving, I restored set-time worship. When you drive a long distance, you have time. I restored set-time worship. At that time, as I restored set-time worship, prayed, meditated on the Word, and sang praise, something completely different happened. An astonishing restoration that nothing else could produce began to take place in me.
If this is the case for ordinary believers, how much more should we restore praise? Thanksgiving must be restored, praise must be restored, and Paul praised God because he was so thankful.
3. The confession that makes Satan kneel
God knows this. Satan knows it. It is simple. I know myself, but God knows. Satan knows. When it is only Christ, Satan knows it. When a true confession arises today, darkness is bound to collapse. Today in the second service we will see this, but we truly must confirm what salvation is. In the first service today, we must restore what thanksgiving is and what praise is. When you praise, you must truly praise with thanksgiving and emotion within the grace God gives. Standing still or praising reluctantly makes you sick. That Satan, who follows you to the end and drives you toward destruction, knows this very well. He knows which church and which people have the gospel and which do not. Satan fears only Christ. He fears nothing else. Saying “I know that person” is expressed differently in English. If you say, “I know about him,” it means you have heard a little. If you say, “I know of him,” it means you have met him a few times. But if you say, “I know him,” it means you know him well. It is different. Satan knows. Today, the confession that makes Satan kneel must arise.
Even today, as we send off this year, the prayer must begin: “Truly, restore praise and thanksgiving to God who gave me salvation, to God who saved me even when I did not know the content of salvation. Break all darkness.” May this blessing be conveyed to all believers and the next generation, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. We thank God who called us to bless us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. We thank You for giving us the gospel prepared before the foundation of the world. May this gospel be delivered to all who have not heard it. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

What Darkness Fears

2025.12.20 Scattered Disciples
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237 Nations and the 5000 Tribes (51)
– Model 45 of 7∙7∙7 –
Scripture Reading: Acts 4:1-12

The final conclusion is the scattered ones. This is simple.
1, 3, 8
There are three words that the forces of darkness fear the most. That is this. (1, 3, 8) What the forces of darkness fear the most—“Christ, the kingdom of God, only the Holy Spirit.” When this happens, they tremble completely. It is perfect. This can also be seen as the Triune God. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we give thanks. This year and in the new year, make us people of power who change imprinting, root, and constitution, make us people of healing, and make us summit people who save the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Gospel Roots and Nature

2025.12.20 Core
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (51)
Scripture Reading: Genesis 3:15

Since one year is ending and we must welcome the new year, you must receive a special bonus. Before pastors do the New Year’s prayer, there is something you must do in the church first. Also, if necessary, your families should also try holding a family retreat. In my view, since Christmas is on the 25th, the period between then and January 1 would be the best. If that does not work, you can do it individually. I did it individually. Because there was no one to do it with.
「Imprinting, root, constitution」
So when it gets close to the end of the year and you ask what you must do for the new year, you must check changing this (imprinting, root, constitution).

▣ Introduction_ imprinting movement (only)
So first, the part where you must change imprinting is that you must begin this retreat first. I did it alone. Because there was no one to do it with. What is the very first thing you must do?
1. 40 days – 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, 7 guideposts
Because Jesus did 40 days, you begin a prayer meeting to completely enjoy this.
2. Previous meeting – Acts 1:14 (mission)
Next, before doing this, the previous meeting is important. That is Acts chapter 1 verse 14. Holding onto the mission and devoting oneself only to prayer. You need this kind of time. So you must carry out a movement to change imprinting. What has been imprinted can never be changed, but it can be changed only through the gospel and the Word. Because it can be changed by only, you must do it. It cannot be changed by anything else. It can be changed only by the Holy Spirit. So you must hold these kinds of meetings.
3. Meeting
Then after doing this, the important meeting now is worship. If you had the previous meeting, there must be a meeting. Many very important things come here.
1) Acts 2:1-4 (three feasts)
It says, “When the day of Pentecost had fully come.” Here, the blessing of the three feasts must be enjoyed.
2) Acts 2:17-18
When you hold this meeting, the future becomes visible. I simply continued the prayer meeting until these kinds of answers came out. So this is a movement to imprint.
3) Acts 2:42
And the important thing is that worship comes alive. “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
4) Acts 2:43-45
To what extent must this go? To the economy of light. Those who hear this message today must give offerings with great sincerity and prayer. So it was said that the early church had no lack.
5) Acts 2:46-47
Now the Word begins to be fulfilled in the field.
4. Set time
Then there are two more things to do. From this time, set-time prayer began to continue.
1) Acts 3:1
For example, Acts chapter 3 verse 1. “At the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.”
2) Acts 16:11
Places like Acts chapter 16 verse 11 also say, “On the way to the place of prayer.”
3) Acts 16:19-40
In Acts chapter 16 verses 19 to 40, Paul is imprisoned, and there he again prays, praises, and worships.
5. Constantly 24, 25, eternity
What is even more important now is this. Now you will come to pray constantly. This means prayer that enjoys 24, 25, eternity. Now, when prayer becomes like this, there is no completion to prayer, but you have completed it.
1) Ephesians 6:18
So in Ephesians chapter 6 verse 18, “pray at all times in the Spirit,” you must go through this process of concentration. How do you do it? It differs according to the church and the size of the meeting. It is different when many gather and when a small number gather. When it is small, it is better. You look up the Bible together, pray together, do united prayer, and go on like this.
2) 1 Thessalonians 5:17
In 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 17 it also says, “pray without ceasing.”
So in my case, I did this prayer several times until I received the answer. It may look like nothing, right? As I continued this determined prayer with these 40 days, it was not that answers came, but my thinking began to change. I realized, “Ah, I was praying wrongly.” So then I began a large evangelism school. And this (40 days, previous meeting) is done alone, and this (meeting) is done during worship. Then later, it becomes set-time prayer and constant prayer.
[ Restoration ┃ confirmation ┃ answer ]
I now do it unconditionally like this. In the morning time, I must restore all strength. During the day, I confirm through prayer. At night, since I usually have to prepare messages, I find the answer. I must continue this. You must listen to the healing message that was given yesterday at Immanuel Seoul Church. There is a lot about prayer. So when you sleep at night, fatigue is restored, but disease also enters. In fact, no one sleeps with their lips completely closed. They open slightly. At that time, tremendous bacteria form and the lungs are damaged. If that is the case, the more you sleep, the more damage there is. When you wake up in the morning, you must restore through prayer. So as I said in yesterday’s message, you must hold onto two things. There are two lifelines. The line of prayer. And the line of breathing. You must always hold onto these two. Then I do this for several hours when I open my eyes in the morning. Since there is no time, I do this while moving, slowly, to revive the entire brain and lungs and everything. And because the spiritual 7·7·7 also enters, all spiritual things are revived as well. So there is no set time. Morning lasts until I meet you. If my retreat is in the evening and there was nothing scheduled in the morning, then I just continue from the moment I open my eyes. Then, conscientiously, during the day I confirm through prayer. At night, before sleeping, since I have to prepare messages, I find the answer. I continue this. So do not let go of the two lifelines. You must do it like that. Then probably fundamental healing will take place. And fundamental strength will arise. Only then can you fulfill the fundamental mission.

▣ Main point_ root, constitution
Now, with what is imprinted at this time, it takes root and becomes a constitution. If you do this (introduction) well, you can completely change this (root, constitution).
1. Acts 11:1-18 → Acts 11:19-30
Now, it is rooted like this. How is it rooted? It is rooted in Jewish ideology. Why? Because the imprinting was wrong. A church that overturned this arose. It was the Antioch Church. You must firmly receive this blessing. You must change the constitution and the root.
2. Galatians 2:10-19 → Galatians 2:20
This rooted idea says, “Even if you are saved, you must keep the Jewish law.” This root must be completely healed. It says, “I have been crucified with Christ.” I am dead. I who was to receive destruction no longer exist. I who was an object of curse, a child of Satan, have disappeared and died. So now Christ lives in me. I live by faith in that fact. It is completely overturned. You must do this before this year ends. From now on, make a resolution once and continue praying. I have now come to here (restoration, confirmation, answer), so I always do it like this. It is fine. Yesterday, after finishing the retreat, I had to come in the morning, and I truly did not sleep even one minute. It is fine. I am continuing this (restoration, confirmation, answer). Then you gain tremendous strength. As was said at church yesterday, if you continue praying while holding onto the two lifelines, the body lives and everything lives. So I had a physical examination, and the results came out the best. Completely normal. So many people say that if you do not sleep much, many things happen, and that is true, but it is fine.
Lifeline
Hold onto the two lifelines. These two are life. Breathing and prayer are life. If you do not understand this well, then try not breathing.
3. Matthew 12:26-30 → Matthew 13:1-58
So Satan has completely built a house. This is old. You must change the root. What is changing it? When you know what is imprinted and do it with God’s Word, the constitution is overturned. At this time, Jesus taught His disciples. He explained what the kingdom of heaven is and what the gospel is. It may look like your faith is small, like a mustard seed, but it becomes a forest. That is what He said. It cannot be seen with the eyes, but it spreads like yeast. It may look like you are suffering now, but underneath there is a field of treasure. That is what He said.
4. John 16:11-14 → the anointed one, ambassador
You must change this rooted thing. In John chapter 16 verses 11 to 14, the ruler of this world, Satan, is the king. You must completely change this. The anointed one, Christ, who is the true king, the true prophet, and the true priest. We are ambassadors here. Now you must completely change the constitution. So try concentrating once.
5. 2 Corinthians 4:4-5 → 2 Corinthians 4:7-8
They serve Satan as god. We change to 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verses 7 and 8. We are like jars of clay, but in this jar of clay we have treasure. This means the power belongs to God. Everyone, this is coffee. This is a coffee cup. If you put urine in it, it becomes a chamber pot. Right? No matter how weak we are, we have treasure inside. Then it is a vessel containing treasure. If the Holy Spirit of God dwells in us, we are the temple. So even if we are hard pressed, it is okay. We are hard pressed. It is okay. We are perplexed. Even if we are perplexed, we do not despair. Why? Because we have treasure inside. The jar of clay is weak, but it has treasure inside. We are persecuted. Even if we are persecuted, we are not abandoned. We are struck down. Even then, we are not destroyed. Then what does this mean? Just as Jesus died, we also participated in that, and because Jesus was changed into life, we also participate in that. So everything is changed. We cannot change it by our own strength, but we can change it by the Word and by power.
6. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 → 2 Corinthians 12:1-10
It is rooted. Completely, Satan, my stubbornness has become a bartizan. As people get older, it becomes like this. My stubbornness has completely become a fortress. A fortress. This must be changed. This is 2 Corinthians chapter 12 verses 1 to 10. It was the main text of yesterday’s Friday overnight healing message. What did Paul begin with? He saw the third heaven. Because of illness, we enter into that kind of prayer before God. In many cases, God works through those who are ill. And he said that he heard many secrets. And it became a path through which great grace was given.

▣ Conclusion_ [ assurance ]
You must have assurance. Shouldn’t you receive answers? You must have assurance.
1. 2 Corinthians 5:17
This is 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17. You have become a new creation. You have been recreated.
2. 1 Corinthians 3:16
Why? Because the Holy Spirit dwells in us. So we are God’s temple. Where a king is, that is a palace. Even if it is a crushed house, if a king is there, it is a palace. Even if it is a huge mansion, if beggars gather there, it is a beggars’ den. You must remember this.
3. Galatians 2:20
Christ dwells in me. I died on the cross.
4. Ephesians 6:10-20
So now we are armed and overcome Satan.
5. Philippians 3:8-21
And this is our background. Philippians chapter 3 verses 8 to 21. What is above is our background. The throne is our background. We receive rewards and go on like this. And that name is the name that makes all things submit.
Work
So continue this prayer, continue the 7·7·7 prayer, and create works. Works will come out. Now, wrapping up this year, from next year on, pastors must truly save the 12 regions. Since I do not have time, I am looking for people to do it. “If not, should I just gather people who have nowhere to go and do it?” In some ways, that is better. Because those people can do 24. Since they originally did nothing 24, you just change that. Now, who you assign is important. This is also the key. Going there and finding them is a key, but who you assign is also a key. The standard is also 24. In the past, when I was running to about thirty places in Busan teaching Bible study in the upper rooms, there was a grandmother who followed from the beginning to the end. She followed and memorized everything. Why? Because she did not know Korean letters. She was Korean, but she did not know Hangul. But she did upper room ministry. Coincidentally, a PhD came from the United States to explore upper rooms, and that house was assigned. He received tremendous grace. A person who does not even know Hangul does upper room ministry, so why can’t I, who even have a PhD? May there be the blessing of completely changing everything, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Remnants’ Imprint

2025.12.20 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Evangelist’s Life and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (51)
– Model 45 of the 3 Courtyards –
Scripture Reading: Genesis 37:1-11

After you finish, we also hold our infant and toddler department, preschool meetings. Also, our parents bring their children and attend the Saturday core, and so on. Some children attend elementary theological school, and others attend youth, and so on. Why is this important?
「Remnant imprinting」 (Genesis 37:1-11)
When imprinting takes place during the Remnant age, what happens?

▣ Introduction
1. Past – foothold
When the gospel becomes imprinted, all of the past does not become wounds but becomes a foothold. When people do not have the gospel, everything becomes wounds.
2. Today – path
When the gospel becomes imprinted, today all becomes a path. Going as a slave is also a path. Being falsely accused and going to prison is also a path. It is completely the same situation, but for some people it becomes a path of destruction, while for others it all becomes a path.
3. Tomorrow – eternity
When this (Remnant imprinting) becomes imprinted, tomorrow appears as something eternal.

▣ Main point_ opportunity
This is a well-known part. For Remnants, now is the opportunity. It is okay even if there are no answers now. Now is the time to prepare, not the time to receive answers. If you prepare 300%, you will absolutely be victorious. Therefore, tremendous blessings of world evangelization still remain for the Remnants.
1. Genesis 37:1-11
Now, look. The brothers only knew about eating and clothing. But when Joseph was at the level of youth Remnants, the covenant called world evangelization became firmly imprinted. From this point on, there was nothing to worry about. Wherever he went was fine. Everything became a path. Right? The important thing is that Joseph was imprinted when he was young.
2. Exodus 2:1-10
Now, look. The covenant Moses received from his mother when he was young, the gospel, became imprinted. This is important. If something else becomes imprinted at a young age, problems usually do not just come lightly. Most of the time, people become imprinted with Satan’s twelve strategies. It is extremely important. Therefore, when our parents send their children to elementary theological school or youth theological school, they must give great blessing prayers for them going. You may think lightly of it, but mothers must do it that way as well. Holding the child’s hand, or even placing a hand on their head is fine. You must give blessing prayers. Do you understand? I am saying to do it when they go to theological school. What is amazing is that when I had not yet fully understood the gospel, my mother went to early morning prayer every single day without missing a day, and after coming back, she would grab my feet and pray. Not even holding my hands, but my feet. If she had placed her hand on my head back then, even greater works would have taken place. I am serious. Not missing a single day. Sometimes I might have been asleep and not known, but without missing a single day. That is not an ordinary thing. When sending children to elementary or youth theological school, give them blessing prayers. Of course, when they go to school it is also important, but this (main point) is what is important now. Because this does not become imprinted, something else becomes imprinted. Especially for Remnants, because it goes on eternally. That is why I said to create an elementary school in Busan. In the future, whether someone becomes a pastor, a politician, a legal professional, or a specialist, this (main point) must enter at the elementary school age. Otherwise, they will suffer all their life. They cannot evangelize. It is already hard just to eat and live; how can they evangelize? It is hard just to study, get a job, and live, so how can they do missions? If it becomes imprinted when they are young, everything enters.
3. 1 Samuel 3:1-19
The covenant entered young Samuel. “The LORD let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.” This Samuel raises the Mizpah Movement. This Samuel finds David. “As long as Samuel lived, there was no war.” “Whoever saw Samuel believed in God.” All of this was from when he was young. So when you come to the core and teach our children and gather like this, you must think of it as extremely important. Even they themselves do not know it. Later, history will arise.
4. 1 Samuel 16:1-13
Look at this now. Samuel the priest came to young David, anointed him, and prayed a blessing. You know what happened after that. What I want to ask our Remnants is this: since you will receive the blessing to do world evangelization, prepare the vessel from now on, the vessel. Because it is certain that you will receive it.
5. 1 Kings 19:19-21
It is Elisha. From a young age, he already held the covenant. Elijah called him as a disciple at the most difficult time. If you follow him, you die. But he burned all the farming tools and followed him. What does that mean? It means he made a clear decision as if he had been waiting for it all along. While everyone else liked material things and positions, Elisha said, “Please let me inherit a double portion of your spirit.” Thus Elisha became the main figure of the Dothan Movement. So during this worship time, you must believe that you have already received all the answers. Is that right? It has been fulfilled. The moment you receive the Word, the answers are already fully prepared.
6. Daniel 1:8-9
Now look at this. Daniel became a captive in Babylon, but he was in a successful position. But the important thing is not that. From a young age, he already stored in his heart what the prophet Isaiah had prophesied. So when he was taken captive to Babylon, he made a decision. “He resolved.” You know what happened through Daniel. He influenced four kings. The kings. This means that our Remnants will go out in the future and be able to influence many leaders.
7. Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8
That is why Paul went to the synagogues. There he explained who Christ is. “Every Sabbath,” he taught what worship is. He taught what the answer of “the kingdom of God” is. Then many fulfillments take place according to God’s timetable. From the Mark Upper Room to the world, how far have we come now? We have come to 5,000 tribes. God has answered without missing even once. You just need to be inside this. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. May our Remnants be imprinted with the gospel, which is the power of God, from a young age. Now grant them the great blessing of preparing the vessel. Let them become witnesses who prepare 300%. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The 237 Nations and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (51)
– Bartizan 45 of the 3-day Weekend Age –
Scripture Reading: Genesis 3:15

The year is almost over. What is the most important thing that we church leaders and workers among us must do? Why is it that even though we have lived a life of faith for a long time, we keep getting shaken and end up like this? As the year passes, this must certainly be confirmed.

▣ Introduction_ The answer to life through the gospel
Through the gospel, the answer to life must come out completely. Because this does not come out, we end up facing many temptations, conflicts, and problems. So why must we derive the answer to life through the gospel?
1. Satan – only Christ
Satan is not afraid of Christ. Satan is only Christ. That is the answer. He collapses here. So Satan knows well. He knows well whether you are only Christ or not. If this does not happen, he keeps attacking.
2. Antichrist
If we make even a slight mistake, if we do not become only Christ, many temptations, conflicts, and problems come and terrible things happen. We end up playing the role of an antichrist. So if the answer of only Christ does not come out, even Peter made mistakes and many people made mistakes.
3. Worship, answer, imprinting, confirmation, 6 days, core, prayer journal
Now, what you church leaders and workers must look at as most important right now is worship. Many people try to do a lot of work in church, and of course that is important. But during worship, you must enjoy the most. During this worship, the answer must come out. An answer will come out, right? Then on Sunday or during worship, with this answer that came out, you must imprint it completely. You cannot memorize everything. Therefore, on Sunday during worship, after receiving today’s Word, you must imprint it through prayer. The greatest prayer during prayer is praying out loud, united prayer. It is extremely important. So on Sunday, all day long, you imprint the covenant you have held onto and the answer you have derived. Then it becomes confirmed: what you must do, what covenant you must hold onto. This must happen for it to be connected for 6 days. In the three-day weekend age, starting from today’s core, when you offer Sunday worship, for six days it must come to mind. So even one word is good. With one word, you must be able to enjoy it for 6 days. Then when you receive the message exactly at the core, you come to know something completely different. And when you look at special conferences, we are moving forward little by little as the Word repeats. You come to know that. And then, write down the answers you received in the prayer journal. Just watch what happens. Edison, who prayed a lot, left 3,000 volumes of records of what he gained in his life through prayer. It is tremendous. You must leave a prayer journal.
「Gospel imprinting」
So the most important part is that the gospel becomes completely imprinted. This is the most important. It must be imprinted. Christ is what becomes imprinted. Do you know where it becomes imprinted?
[ Brain, soul, throne ]
It becomes imprinted in the brain. It is imprinted within my soul. What is even more amazing is that there is a place where not a single one of your prayers is missed and they are all imprinted. If you look at Revelation 8:3-5, it is imprinted on the throne. It is tremendous. You have to taste this. Because people do not see this, they hardly know how important Sunday worship is. Workers, you are church leaders. You must certainly receive God’s blessing. Isn’t that right? You must receive 300% answers. Only then can you save the church. With 100%, it is just enough for me to eat and live. It must be 300%. Is 300% possible? Bill Gates did 300%, didn’t he? Already in college, he prepared 100% for what he had to do. Then he stopped college, and what is the remaining 100%? He took over the whole world, the field. In order to keep doing this, he had to prepare for the future, right? He started a company. He built the system. The money he made is enormous. So during worship, the most important part is this power for the gospel to be imprinted; it is tremendous.

▣ Main point_ Workers
Now, then look at the main point. Look at that of workers who derived the answer through the gospel.
1. Genesis 22:1-23
First is Genesis chapter 22. It is a well-known part. He is the son obtained at age 100, but God suddenly tells him to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. But if you look earlier, an important word appears. “God tested Abraham.” So God tested him. But when He said to actually offer his son, he took him, to the mountain. At that time, what do you think Abraham’s heart was like? He must truly obey God’s command and offer him, but when they go up the mountain, the son asks. Isaac said, “Father, every year we always took a lamb, but why is there no lamb?” He asked. At that time, Abraham could say it, right? “This time, God says to offer you.” If he says that, Isaac would be shocked and run away, wouldn’t he? But what did he say? “God will provide.” He said that. That simple one sentence is very important. When he was about to offer Isaac as a sacrifice, God stopped Abraham and had prepared a ram. In place of our death, a ram. Why must we die? We do not know. That is original sin, right? Now, would Abraham and Isaac forget it, or not forget it? It became completely imprinted. What this means is that the gospel was completely imprinted. From this time onward, history began to arise for Abraham. How much blessing did God give Isaac? He gave him 100 times more than other people. Right? If he farmed for one year, He blessed him 100 times. He only had to eat for one year, but what came out was for 100 years. That is not all. Abraham dug many springs, wells. Because in Israel, having many springs is being rich. Because there is no water. At that time, in the Middle East, if you dig the ground, with bad luck oil comes out. Not knowing whether that oil is expensive. There is no water. So Abraham had many wells. Even though the enemies were jealous, Isaac restored all the wells Abraham had dug, and later, he obtained the source of the spring. He was given broader land, the blessing of Rehoboth. Why is that? So that world evangelization can happen. There is a reason God called you.
2. Exodus 2:1-10
After time passed, another hardship came to Israel. At this time, one person with the gospel imprinted appeared. Who is it? It is Jochebed. It is the time she sent Moses to the royal palace, right? She imprinted him completely.
3:18
What? Go to offer a blood sacrifice. That is the cross. Right? Go to offer a blood sacrifice. Moses understood these words. Because he heard it from his mother. This brings about tremendous events. On the day they apply the lamb’s blood, God completely brought down Egypt and liberated Israel. Through the gospel, the complete answer must come out and be imprinted. Our church leader and worker members must think about this. Through the gospel, you can solve everything. Right? Christ is the solver of all problems. Christ completely solved the past, today, and the future. It came out in Hebrews 13:8, right? “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Now, all our elders and church leaders must hold onto this answer. Before the person who holds this, Satan is bound to completely kneel. There is nothing more important than this. No matter how much and how much I think about it, everything is in Christ. The true king, the true prophet, the true priest. And complete darkness kneels before the name of Christ. From the time I came to know this, a few things began to be solved. First, what happened? Prayer began to work. In the past, I did not know how to pray. From the time I came to know this, the door of evangelism began to open. From the time I came to know this, wherever I went, He kept giving revival and economic blessing, and even health. Even from outside, to the point that people were jealous wondering how we handled money, God blessed us economically. Other organizations have nothing to investigate. Why? There is no money. You can investigate only if there is money. You understand. Wherever we go, now the door of 5,000 tribes is beginning to open wide. Elders, all church leaders, I hope you completely derive the answer through Christ. This must be imprinted completely. And then you imprint it to the next generation. Jochebed imprinted this tremendous covenant to Moses. Even after 80 years passed, it did not disappear, and that covenant was fulfilled. So no one knows when answers will come to you.
3. Joshua 2:1-16
Look now. It is Rahab. This Rahab completely understood the covenant. She heard the news that on the day they applied the lamb’s blood, God brought down Egypt, brought down darkness, and the people of Israel came out liberated. And she confessed, didn’t she? She reminded and confessed that He is the true God. And then she made a request. “You will surely be victorious. When you go, save my family.” She said that, didn’t she? How certain the covenant is. In the Bible it says, “Even by hearing only the report.” There are people who do not get it even if they hear sermons for 100 days, but she, just by hearing the report. What report? Just by hearing the report that they were liberated on the day they applied the lamb’s blood, history arose. You know what happened, right? Rahab goes into the land of Israel. She goes there and marries. There she bears descendants. Among those descendants, a figure named David comes out. The power of the gospel surpasses imagination. It has always been so, but today I hope you derive the complete answer through Christ. With the power you have, Satan can defeat you. So he does not fear at all the power you have. This Satan does not fear the money you have. He can bring it down in an instant. Right? He does not fear your ability either. This Satan kneels to only one thing. Christ. How good this word is—Satan hates this word the most. That is why if you only proclaim the gospel, not only unbelievers but even believers oppose it. Strangely. When they killed Stephen, they gnashed their teeth. Have you seen someone gnash their teeth like that? I have seen someone gnash their teeth while sleeping. It is truly strange. Why did they gnash their teeth and try to kill Stephen when he spoke about the gospel? Satan fears Christ. He trembles. So he knows whether you have derived the answer through Christ or not. I hope you derive it today. This church leader must be blessed. Right? Of course. Only when you derive the answer through Christ does everything begin to come alive.

▣ Main point_ Workers (miracle)
Each time, miracles happened. So many people think of this word lightly.
4. 1 Samuel 7:9-10
Another problem came. They keep forgetting this. At that time, a figure named Samuel appeared. So he said, “Let all the people gather at Mizpah. The Philistines are not the problem.” Right? We make excuses. How our home is, how someone is. No. The Philistines are not the problem. “Gather at Mizpah. Return to the LORD. Throw away all idols.” And there is something they did. I am telling you there is something they did. It is easy to omit. At that time they offered a blood sacrifice before God. That content appears, but many people easily miss it. From this point, the Philistines began to be completely brought down. After doing that. Now, you must not miss it.
5. Isaiah 7:14
They missed it again. Missing it, they then became captives and went to Babylon. This is the Word given at that time. “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.” Simply put, He would give the blessing that Christ would accomplish the work of Immanuel. You must not miss it. If you do not miss it, you will be victorious.
6. Matthew 16:16
They missed it again. This time they became a colony under Rome. That is not a coincidence. Why Babylon? Because there are 237 and 5,000 tribes. We must shine the light there. This time they became a colony under Rome. Why Rome? Because there are 237 and 5,000 tribes. This is the word that appears there. “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” At that time, Jesus spoke of all blessings. “Simon son of Jonah, you are blessed.” He did not say, you are smart. “You are blessed. This was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.” Right? And then, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church.” This is not shifting sand. “I will make you like a rock and I will build My church. The power of darkness, the power of Hades will not overcome you. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” It is finished. After I came to know this, all worries ended. There is no need to fight. If someone picks a fight, I lose. I can lose. Because this is not winning, right? Joseph’s brothers sold Joseph, but they did not win. They were ruined. King Saul had power and kept harassing David. That is not power. That is a curse. Right? Do not fear the world too much or be too afraid. Through this confession of Peter, the door of world evangelization began to open.
7. Romans 1:16-17
This is Paul’s confession. People said Paul was crazy. Because he threw away tremendous things and did only Christ. He is crazy. Even the judge said, “He is crazy.” He said, you studied a lot and then you went insane. So Paul answered like this. “I wish you would become like me too, except for these chains.” He said that, didn’t he? He is saying, I hope you too become crazy for Christ, because of Christ. Paul evangelized the world. So, “I am not ashamed of the gospel.” No matter what you say, I am not ashamed. This means it is my greatest pride. The reason? “Because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” And then, “The righteous will live by faith.” Quoting this, that is the answer the prophet Habakkuk gave in Habakkuk 2:4. Habakkuk asked God, “Why do the wicked prosper? Why do the righteous suffer?” At that time God answered like this. “Write My words on tablets of stone.” What does that mean? If you carve it on stone tablets, it does not disappear. “Make it so that even one who runs can read it.” What does that mean? Is it not that God’s Word contains what is eternal? What does that mean? It means that suffering when you have done nothing wrong is only for a moment, and though it seems the wicked are doing well, it is only for a moment. So write My words on tablets of stone. And then He says, “The righteous will live by faith.” Paul, who knew the Scriptures well, quoted this. Who quoted this Word? Luther did. The world was completely turned upside down. Today, when you know the reason you must derive the answer through Christ, and when this gospel is completely imprinted, this (main point) history will arise in the same way.

▣ Conclusion_ [ Knowing, imprinting ]
Knowing the gospel and being imprinted are different. Satan also knows the fact that Jesus is the Christ. Right? Satan also knows that there is power in the gospel. So he keeps interfering. But being imprinted means that because it has been done here (brain, soul, throne), history cannot help but arise. When this conference ends, you must hold onto this covenant and pray.
Paul, those teams
These are Paul and those teams. Paul met Christ on the road to Damascus. All answers came out. Paul is someone who knows the Scriptures well. He knows the Old Testament well, but because of what, this problem came, and all answers came out. To what extent did it come out? He said he considers everything he boasted in until now as dung. So Satan trembles.
(Romans 16:20)
Satan has knelt. Everyone, if you cast Satan out, he comes again. Right? If you pray in the name of Jesus, demons are cast out. But they come again. But if you derive the complete answer through Christ, he cannot come at all. He kneels. So all the pastors in this region, now hold onto the covenant firmly. Build about 12 absolute bartizans. And then make about 1,000 upper rooms. Then history will arise. Form special teams and do it. If you go to 1,000 places, you find 1,000 people. Because we do not go, we miss them. May there be the blessing of a new start today and of preparing great answers next year, in the name of Jesus Christ, I bless you.

Prayer. May the grace of Jesus Christ, the solver of all problems, and the eternal love of God, and the present working of the Holy Spirit be with all God’s people who have derived the complete answer through Christ, from now and forever, always. Amen.

 

I Know Not Why God’s Wondrous Grace

I Know Not Why God’s Wondrous Grace
D. W. Whittle

I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me is daily shown,
Nor why, with mercy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for his own.

But “I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that he is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto him against that day.”

I know not how this saving faith
To me he did impart,
Nor how believing in his word
Wrought peace within my heart.  Refrain

I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing us of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in him.  Refrain

I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I’ll walk the vale with him,
Or meet him in the air.  Refrain

There Is No Name So Sweet

There is no name so sweet on earth,
No name so sweet in heaven,
The name before his wondrous birth
To Christ the Savior given.

We love to sing around our King,
And hail him blessed Jesus;

So dear, so sweet as “Jesus.”

Your grace shall fail us never;
Today as yesterday the same,
You art the same forever. Refrain

Ephesians 1:1-14
Pastor Samuel
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,
…To God’s holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

Full Transcript

▣ Introduction
1. Because we do not know well what the gospel (salvation) is and what the blessings of the saved are
1) They are great powers, yet there are many disasters and people with mental illnesses.
2) Believers are not receiving the answers that are in the Bible.
3) Churches cannot evangelize, and there are many self-supporting churches.

2. Paul’s confession
1) Salvation is a miracle, and the blessings of those who are saved are tremendous.
2) When we come to know this, the way we see ourselves and believers changes. They are extremely precious people, and they are a miracle.
3) We must return to the heart of Paul who confessed, “Blessed be!” out of deep gratitude.

▷ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. According to the good pleasure of His will, He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ. This was to the praise of the glory of His grace. According to the riches of His grace, He redeemed us through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. For the administration of the fullness of the times, He united all things in heaven and on earth in Christ. According to His will, He predestined us and made us His inheritance. He sealed us with the Holy Spirit. He became the guarantee of our inheritance.

▣ Main point: What does it mean to praise
1. Blessed be for giving us true destiny and completely liberating us (verse 3).
1) Paul saw God who liberated us from curse, disaster, and darkness.
2) To Paul, who praised this, God gave the work of saving the entire world.
3) While many souls around the world are dying, there is no concern. The church must begin prayer and save them.

2. Blessed be for giving us true power (verse 8).
1) He gave us His name so that we could save the entire world (Ephesians chapter 3).
2) Great powers, small nations, and religions cannot save the world.
3) Therefore, the age of mental illness, the age of addiction, and the age of suicide have come.

3. Blessed be God who gave us a true mission.
1) He gave us the mission to save the church (Ephesians chapter 4).
2) He gave us the power to save the next generation (Ephesians chapter 5).
3) He gave us the power to overcome Satan (Ephesians chapter 6). When we give thanks and praise, Satan collapses.

▣ Conclusion: What to restore
1. Restore thanksgiving – at this time, healing takes place.
2. Restore praise – this is completely overcoming darkness.
1) When David praised, the evil spirit departed.
2) When Paul praised in the midst of hardship, miracles took place.
3) Tremendous status and authority are revealed.
3. The confession that makes Satan kneel – when the true confession “only Christ” arises, darkness collapses.
▷ Let praise and thanksgiving toward God, who saved even me when I did not know the content of this salvation, be restored. Let all darkness be broken. This prayer must begin.

I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I’ll walk the vale with him,
Or meet him in the air.  Refrain

Prayer · Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
…hallowed be thy name;
…thy kingdom come;
…thy will be done;
…on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
…as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
…but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
…the power and the glory,
…forever and ever.
Amen.

We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
Don Besig · Nancy Price

Gathered here, within this place,
We can share in God’s redeeming grace.
There’s no room for doubt or fear;
We can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day,
We will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim,
We will know our trust is in Him.

And we will keep our faith alive,
God will always be our guide.
Through the darkest night, 
We will see God’s light.
We will keep our faith alive!

We will live as God has planned,
Though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see,
But our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth;
Through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail
For we know our God will prevail.  Chorus

Benediction

The Foundational Start for the 3 Courtyards

Prayer Journal: December 20, 2025 
22. Mar. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading:  (Ac 17:1, 18:4, 19:8)

Especially for our remnants, when you come in the three-day weekend age, there are the three courtyards. Some who believe for the first time ask, “What are the three courtyards?” When God revealed, “Build the temple like this,” there were the courtyard of the Gentiles, the courtyard of prayer, and the courtyard of children. Then the meaning is great. But in Herod’s temple those three courtyards existed, and they did business there and did everything there. So Jesus drove them out with a whip, telling them to clear it out. Now, that is extremely important. What is the fundamental start of these three courtyards? (Acts 17:1, Acts 18:4, Acts 19:8) To teach that, in Acts 17:1 they went into the synagogue. Because the synagogue is the best place to teach. What do our remnants need to understand here?

Here you hold firmly to the exact mission. Remnants keep trying to find this exact mission. Then it is easy to make a small mistake. They try to get a mission from somewhere far away. Of course I am not saying that is unnecessary, but do that later. How do you hold onto the mission? How do you hold it accurately? You must hold it from the closest place. From the closest place, you look as far as the distance. In one sense, from the closest place you look as far as the future. You connect it and look all the way to eternity. That becomes the exact mission. Now then, let us look at it not only with the Bible but also with historical evidence.

When Crosby said, “It is so frustrating that I cannot see like this. What should I do for my eyes to be opened?” no answer came, I tell you. He just started as a blind man. Because he could not see. From there, he came to see all the way to the eternal world. Then history would not have had to happen, but history happened. I simply gave one real example. If you keep saying, “How can my eyes be opened? Why am I like this?” then nothing works. Later, what did he confess? “Now my prayer topic has changed. Before, seeing was my prayer topic. Now, not seeing is my prayer topic, because God guides my path.” A remarkable thing happened. He overturned the world, I tell you.

Now, remnants must first see the start from the closest place. They keep searching far away—where do you go to find it? So this one teacher had a problem come to her. When the problem came, it was so hard. Someone, a teacher, kept helping her. She received healing. She found the answer there. “That’s right! This is what I will do for my whole life.” So she saved people, and the representative figure is Helen Keller, isn’t it? That teacher is Anne Sullivan. A certain teacher helped Anne Sullivan, and it became like this. So start from the closest place. In the end, God will show you the big things and the distant things. What do I mean?

In Genesis 37:1-11, God shows it like this. Completely—how did it start? Because his brothers tormented him so much, all he could do was pray. Right? Because they were trying to kill him. Do not think of it like our home, like your home today. Back then, in that vast land there were no people, no police. If you killed someone, it was just the end. But because his brothers were trying to kill him, all he could do was pray. That is where it started. This is what evangelized the world.

In Exodus 2:1-10, it is the same. Her son was about to die. Ordinary people would try to hide the son, or run away, or save him. But that was not possible. She saw what was most possible. It is truly amazing. From the look of it, she probably sensed that the princess would come here. Right? And she also probably sensed that the princess did not have a child. She matched it exactly to that timing. And it entered the palace. What happened? It moved the world.

So the mission was given, and the place where you find it and fulfill it is the three courtyards—do you understand? The courtyard of healing, where you receive healing; the courtyard of children, where you become remnant summits; and in the end, you go to 237. The courtyard of the Gentiles—you must not miss it. It is the same, isn’t it?

In 1 Samuel 3:1-19, to the young Samuel—think about it. His mother sent him and told him to stay put, so what could he do? He stayed beside the ark of the covenant. Just as his mother told him, he held onto the covenant—how hard must it have been? He prayed, and history arose there. “Not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground.” What? After he saw this mission, from then history began to arise. It is the same.

In 1 Samuel 16:1-13, to David—an exact mission was given to David. There are cases like this too. I may find it, but someone may see and give it to me, I tell you. While you are praying, in the church, or the pastor, or people in the session, giving it is extremely important. The high priest came and gave it. Surely he said many things. If someone comes, visits, comes to David’s house, and just eats and leaves—there is no way. He gave a message. This was stamped into David’s mind. The Bible says, “From that day forward, the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him.” This is the mission remnants must hold onto, I tell you. There is no need to try to grab the mission in a hurry. Right? But you only need to know that you must hold onto the mission.

In 2 Kings 2:9-11, other prophets could not hold it, but Elisha held it. Jericho, Bethel, things like that, Gilgal—those were not the issue. “Give me this power. Give me a double portion of the Spirit.” That was actually the end of it. This means he held an exact mission.

In Daniel 1:8-9, it is Daniel chapter 1 verses 8 and 9. How did he hold it? Not with difficulty. From the closest place. But there is one difference. Daniel embraced what the prophet Isaiah had prophesied. So he knew why they had come as captives. He also knew what would happen later. It was prophesied. But there is one astounding thing. He was seated in a very high position. Though he came as a captive. He noticed it. What? The mission. So he “resolved.” Here, “I will not be deceived by this culture of darkness, and I will be a witness here.” He only did that, and it happened exactly as it was.

Lastly, there is something our remnants must know. Christ (Acts 17:1). You must know the naturalness, the necessity, and the absoluteness regarding this. You must never be ignorant of the word Christ. As I always say, I even told a Buddhist monk clearly: “If you do not know Christ, your problem will not get better. It will not be solved.” I am not insulting Buddhism—among what I have experienced, Buddhism seemed the best. I am not insulting it. Among the places I have been, aside from the Buddhist statues, the temple grounds were the nicest. Streams flow, and if you go down by the stream they even sell green onion pancakes—it was so nice. But there is no Christ. So they wander. It is not a minor problem. The naturalness, the necessity, the absoluteness regarding this.

Then worship and prayer—then in Acts 18:4 it says, “every Sabbath.” This is the three-day weekend age. Prayer taught what it is. Then the throne, the kingdom, and the work—and then in Acts 19:8, what does it teach? In Acts 19:8, it taught what an answer is. “He explained boldly about the kingdom of God.” The throne, the kingdom—now it begins to be seen. The work of the kingdom is accomplished. This is the answer. People do not know what an answer is. Do answers suddenly just pop up? That is not an answer. That is strange. This—(the throne, the kingdom, the work)—comes first. You say you received many answers in prayer, but what changed? Nothing changed. Your height even shrank by 1 cm. But the answer of (the throne, the kingdom, the work) comes, I tell you. We must teach this accurately.

Therefore today and tomorrow, the time you worship is the time when this (the throne, the kingdom, the work) is being accomplished. I will pray.

Prayer. Thank you for allowing us today as well to meet God’s covenant. Let us become those who see, enjoy, and proclaim God’s works. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
