「Crises are Opportunities」(Es 4:1-16)

Esther 4:1–16

01 When Mordecai learned all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city. He cried out with a loud and bitter cry.
02 He went as far as the front of the king’s gate, for no one was to enter the king’s gate clothed in sackcloth.
03 In each and every province where the command and decree of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing; and many lay on sackcloth and ashes.
04 Then Esther’s maidens and her eunuchs came and told her, and the queen writhed in great anguish. And she sent garments to clothe Mordecai that he might remove his sackcloth from him, but he did not accept them.
05 Then Esther summoned Hathach from the king’s eunuchs, whom the king had appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what this was and why it was.
06 So Hathach went out to Mordecai to the city square in front of the king’s gate.
07 Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact amount of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.
08 He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict which had been issued in Susa for their destruction, that he might show Esther and inform her, and to order her to go in to the king to implore his favor and to plead with him for her people.
09 Hathach came back and related Mordecai’s words to Esther.
10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach and ordered him to reply to Mordecai:
11 “All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king to the inner court without being summoned, he has but one law, that he be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days.”
12 They related Esther’s words to Mordecai.
13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not imagine that you in the king’s palace can escape any more than all the Jews.
14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?”
15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai,
16 “Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.”

Summary

▣ Introduction_ 5 Things to Know in Advance
Background of the Passage

When the Jewish people were all about to be killed due to a false accusation, Mordecai asked Queen Esther to inform the king of the situation. Mordecai said, was it not God who had prepared you for such a time as this? Esther said “if I perish, I perish” and asked all the people to fast and pray for three days on her behalf. She knew the power of prayer. We must recover this secret of prayer. The king who welcomed Esther when she came before him accepted her invitation to a banquet along with Haman, and through Esther came to know that Haman had been plotting to kill the Jewish people. As a result, Haman was put to death and the people of Israel were saved.

Esther knew several things in advance.
1. The reason suffering came (the reason for captivity) — because there was no spiritual strength.
2. Why has this kind of crisis come at this moment?
3. What does God’s Word prophesy?
4. What happens when we pray?
5. Why are we here? — She knew what mission was.

▣ Introduction_ 5 Things to Know in Advance

Those who are captured by clerical power, political power, and institutional power originally do not even listen to their parents. Even those who believe in God do not listen to God’s Word.

※ Background of the Passage — You must know the power of prayer and recover the secret of prayer.

Today’s passage involves a great incident. It is a scheme devised by a man named Haman who was fighting for political power. The decision had been made legally to kill all the people of Israel. It is a serious matter. Queen Esther is now in the palace, and Mordecai is making a request to her. “Our Jewish people are all about to be killed, and since you are inside the palace you will not die.” He is telling her to go and speak to the king now. “Inform the king that due to a false accusation, the Jewish people are all about to be killed.” And then he said this: “If you do not speak, God will accomplish it through another means. But you and your father’s house will perish.” And then he said the important thing: “Is it not possible that you were made queen precisely for such a time as this? The people of Israel are all about to be killed right now — could it not be that God raised you up as queen in order to use you at this moment?” A tremendously serious thing had taken place.

Why is that? No one can just go before the king. The situation is a bit different from now. Many extraordinary events happen around the king. There are people hiding and waiting, trying to kill the king. So without the king summoning you, no one is able to go before him. If you appear there, you are legally subject to the death penalty. Now the people of Israel were in a desperate situation. They were all about to die, you see. Haman had orchestrated this. He spent a great deal of money, persuaded people, and arranged for all the Jews to be killed. The appointed day had come and the situation was desperate. But even so, Esther cannot go before the king. That is when the request is made. Go and speak. “God prepared you for such a time as this.” Those were the words Esther heard, and what she said in response to them.

“If I perish, I perish.” That is what she said. “Even if I die, it’s all right. I will go and report this.” And then she left one important word. What was the important word Esther left? “Please fast and pray for me for three days, all the people.” She knew the power of prayer. You still have an important conference ahead of you and there are important timetables for each of you, so you truly must recover this secret of prayer. There is nothing we are hiding and there are circumstances where we all need to pray, but Elder Jo Ki-beom fell and was injured, and is in somewhat of a dangerous condition. In other times, if I had a gathering elsewhere I would not have been able to visit, but this time I came to Busan and was able to go see him. So I saw his condition. The next day, Friday, when I came and couldn’t sleep. This doesn’t happen to me often. Of course praying for church members is natural. I didn’t sleep — I prayed all night. Truly not resting for even one minute, not sleeping, and continuing in prayer. And from the next day God kept prompting me to pray. So I thought: I need to ask our church members to pray. Those of you who know how to pray 24 hours — please pray intensively. And even those who don’t know prayer — set a specific time and pray. Pray, because there will certainly be a special plan for God to work.

Esther saying “please pray for me” was not a simple request either — it was “please fast while praying.” Because the situation had become so desperately urgent, she asked all the people to fast and pray for her. Such a tremendous thing has taken place.

And then Esther went to the palace. You cannot enter without any permission. At the moment the king saw Esther — not knowing the situation, the king should have asked “why have you come?” — but instead he extends the golden scepter. Isn’t a rod held by a king called a scepter? When this is extended, it means “welcome.” If not, you are immediately seized. The king extended the golden scepter brightly. “How did you come?” he asked. Because if it were not something urgent, she could not have come like that. Then Esther said: “Ah, I would like to hold a banquet at my home — would you come to dine?” The king said “yes.” Now at that time, dining was not simply eating a meal. Because this was the kind of nation that moved great nations, “coming to dine” meant there was an extremely important reason for it. The king came to dine. And the moment he arrived, it was not a matter of eating first — he was asking her to speak. What great concern did she have that brought her to do this? He was asking her to say it. And then the words came: “I could give you even half the kingdom. Speak.” This Esther is a person who prays, a person who knows prayer. She didn’t speak at that moment and asked once more: “I will prepare this dining occasion once more. Please come one more time. And when you come that time, please bring Prime Minister Haman with you.” The king became tremendously curious. What is this about? He agreed.

Then the banquet was held and the king came. He asked again with urgency: “What in the world is the matter?” She said: “The truth is, all the Jewish people are about to be killed.” “Is that so?” “It is the making of one person’s complete lies. So because of that one person, an entire people is about to be killed.” And then finally she said: “And I too am Jewish.” At this the king was so shocked that — according to the scriptural record — he was so overwhelmed he couldn’t breathe and went outside. Only then did the wicked Haman get on his knees and beg the queen to spare his life. The king thought: “How can this be happening?” and after stepping out to catch his breath, he came back in and this man was grabbing her legs. The king misunderstood this. And so this Haman was hanged and killed. The entire people of Israel were saved.

Today here we need to discover a few important things. The most important things for God’s person — Esther already knew these. Though they come out in the conversation between Mordecai and Esther, there are several things she knew in advance.

1. The reason for captivity — without spiritual strength, one becomes a captive.

You need to know the reason first, right? Why was Israel taken captive? She knew. You need to know that first. Praying is also tremendously important for you, but why were we brought here as captives?

2. Why has this kind of crisis come at this time?

Why has this kind of crisis come at this time? She knew. That’s what wicked politicians do. She knew. Those who want to kill people, those who are seized by Satan — they absolutely do not change.

3. What does God’s Word prophesy?

Mordecai and Esther already knew what God’s Word prophesied in various places.

4. What happens when we pray?

More importantly, she knew what prayer was. So she didn’t make any other request — she made a prayer request. She didn’t ask anyone “please help me” — she made a prayer request.

5. Why are we here? She knew what mission was.

Why did the people of Israel end up like this? She knew what mission was.

We Christians cannot start anything at all without knowing these five things.

Why did suffering come upon Israel? But why did this unjust false accusation incident happen right now? And what does God’s Word prophesy? What in the world happens when we pray? And why have we come here — what is mission? She knew all of it. Boldly, without fearing death: “If I perish, I perish.”

The world as it goes today is all the same. When our Remnant go out and face great difficulties, there is no need to be shaken. They need to know the five things.

If God’s people, the people of Israel, have no spiritual strength, they become captives. Right? Keep this in mind. If we are without strength, your future generations will become captives of Satan. That is certain. A little bit of success is not success. They suffer for a lifetime. You must know that first.

When you go to the field, people with no strength whatsoever do all kinds of wicked things just to survive. It is happening even now. It has happened a second time. At each of those times we must not be shaken. What does God’s Word say? What should be prayed for? And what did we miss that caused things to become like this? They held these answers exactly.

▣ Main_ Do Not Fear the Crisis.

Today you do not need to fear the crises that have come.

1. The crisis that came upon all of Israel

First. A national crisis has come — a crisis has come upon all of Israel. What does this tell us? If you grab hold of the wrong thing, you miss it. This is the very opportunity for world evangelization. You must not grab the wrong thing. Everyone who grabbed the wrong thing has had it taken away.

1) The reason God sent them as slaves to Egypt

Why did God send them as slaves to Egypt? There is where the 237 and 5,000 peoples are — it was giving the opportunity for world evangelization.

2) The reason God caused them to go as captives to Assyria

Why did He cause them to go as captives to Assyria? No matter what else you try, no answer comes. It is an opportunity for recovery of the missed world evangelization. Those two people knew that.

3) The reason God caused them to become captives to Babylon

The reason God caused them to become captives to Babylon is to give us through this the crucial timetable and opportunity for world evangelization.

※ If you don’t know this, even if you come out of Egypt you cannot come out from under Satan.

If you don’t know this you cannot escape from Satan’s slavery. If you don’t know this, even if you come out of Egypt you cannot come out from under Satan. The one purpose God has given you is this: through you, let the darkness be broken — carry out world evangelization. It may look like nothing, but if you don’t know this, you will struggle and die. There are people I know very well, people I like very much — there are many such people. They are precious individuals. How hard they live. They graduated from Seoul National University. How hard they live. Even while at university they passed the bar exam. They live so hard. Their lips are perpetually cracked and dry. They served as judges. And as famous lawyers, and as members of the National Assembly. They worked at the Blue House. A person very close to me. Such a genuinely good person. But so very driven. Early on, one day they hit their limit and fell ill and passed away. I know. They were an extraordinarily capable person. But as far as I know, they did not seem to know what Esther knew and what Mordecai knew. They helped me so much and were a senior older than me, so I couldn’t just speak freely — I should have said it back then.

[Throne] — The prayer of one who knows the gospel and knows the reason moves the throne (Isaiah 62:6–7).

Today you must firmly grasp this important covenant. The prayer of one who knows the gospel and knows the reason moves the throne. Today, even if you have nothing, it is all right. When you truly know the reason and truly pray toward God, you move the throne. “Give Him no rest night or day.” Not just anyhow. The prayer of one who truly knows the reason and truly knows the gospel moves the throne when it meets a crisis. You must certainly find this bartizan.

2. Clan, family, and personal problems — a springboard for the future (prayer that brings the kingdom of God)

Second. Your clan problems, your personal problems — all of these become a springboard for the future. How? If you know the five things mentioned earlier. If you know why you were taken captive. If you know why crisis has come in the field. If you know what God’s Word says. If you truly know what the gospel is, what prayer is. If you know what world mission is. It was because Israel didn’t know those things that they collapsed. This person’s prayer moves the throne. But what is important is our clan, family, and background. This becomes a springboard. See what kind of springboard it is.

1) Esther 2:7 Mordecai who adopted and raised Esther the orphan

Esther lived in the city of Susa. Her original name was Hadassah. This woman was an orphan. So what does that mean? She had no parents — she was an orphan. But her older cousin relative was Mordecai. This Mordecai adopted Esther. It appears in Esther 2:7. And then he taught Esther, built up her faith, and supported her.

2) Esther 2:20 Mordecai, a man of prayer, who told Esther not to reveal that she was Jewish

One day she became queen — she was chosen as queen. At that time, in verse 20 of chapter 2, we see this. How much of a man of prayer was Mordecai? What did he say? “Never say that you are Jewish.” Even though you have become queen.

3) Esther 4:14–16 Speak now. If I perish, I perish.

But now this great crisis has come, and today’s passage says to speak now.

A person who grew up without a background, a person who lived through hardship, cannot live well. But if that person knows the gospel and prays, it becomes a great springboard. People who live in poverty, if they don’t know prayer and don’t know the gospel, they become soaked in poverty. But one who knows this gospel, prayer, and covenant — it becomes a springboard for them. Though she grew up as an orphan without parents, because she had faith and prayer and the covenant, all of this became a springboard.

[Kingdom] — When you know the covenant and are praying, the kingdom of God comes (Esther 4:16).

Without fearing death. “If I perish, I perish.” That was said. Where there is prayer, the kingdom of God comes. You must remember this. The prayer you offer knowing the covenant moves the throne. Don’t be discouraged. When you know the covenant and are praying, the kingdom of God is set to come.

3. When the wicked cause many difficulties

Third. The wicked arise and cause many difficulties, but at this time an opportunity comes to bear witness to the light.

1) Mordecai who reported the plot to assassinate the king

Mordecai was a person holding a fairly low position. But there was someone who had devised a plot to assassinate the king. Mordecai had once reported that fact through Esther. The king came to know it. This led to Mordecai being promoted somewhat. He was placed in a good position. Haman disliked this. Politics — it is frightening. Esther had done nothing wrong, but perhaps the people caught trying to assassinate the king were on the same side as Haman.

2) Mordecai who did not bow to Haman

And when politics goes wrong, one goes mad. This Haman had another dream too. He had thought “someday I could become king.” As evidence of that, he demanded that many people bow to him as they would bow to a king. What a ridiculous fellow. But everyone did it at the time. Because they were afraid. But Mordecai refused. So what was this? For that one thing alone he would kill all the Jews. How ridiculous the world is. That is the world. What Satan does is ridiculous.

3) The resolve of Mordecai and Esther who brought down all the forces of darkness

Mordecai and Esther were not shaken at all. That is the resolve they made.

But God even matched the timing so as to move the king’s heart and completely brought down all the forces of darkness. You must remember this.

The fact that a national crisis has come is an opportunity for world evangelization. If you truly know the gospel and know prayer and know evangelism, you can offer prayers that move the throne. No matter how bad your clan, family, and environment is, the kingdom of God can come. That’s the second point. Right?

[Work] — When you truly pray with the covenant, the work of the kingdom of God is accomplished.

But though the wicked cause many problems, if you truly pray with the covenant, God will begin from that point to bring about the work of the kingdom of God. The work is accomplished. She appeared before the king in violation of the law, and the king extended the scepter brightly. My prediction is that the king very much wanted to see Esther. The king couldn’t just summon her whenever he wanted either. Even that was regulated. Kings have it difficult. But all those events where Mordecai had already saved the king were recorded. This wicked Haman had lost his sight in his mindless self-pursuit of greed. He didn’t know two things. He didn’t know that the king greatly valued the queen. More importantly, he didn’t know she was Jewish. So this wicked man’s wickedness completely backfires. So what memorial remains? The king said “record this in history.” Record the wicked man’s actions in history. Record in the history books that the Jewish people were completely innocent. That is the Festival of Purim. Today you must hold the covenant that remains in history.

▣ Conclusion_ 3 Things to Enjoy Daily

So enjoy three things in daily life. What?

1. The power of prayer

Enjoy the power of prayer in daily life. You must remember this.
1) Go to meet problems with the power of prayer.
When problems come, you can pray then. No — we are the ones who go to meet problems with the power of prayer. You must truly recover the power of prayer.

2) Go seeking problems with the answer.
When various difficulties come, we can pray. But truly praying means going with the answer. A person who truly prays goes seeking problems with the answer. The 7 Remnant figures all did this.

3) Prayer and life go together.
Our Remnant must remember this. What is true prayer? It is not prayer and life being separated. They go together. If study and prayer are separate, you will struggle with study for your entire life. A person who knows prayer — work and prayer go together. Don’t worry about sick people. Prayer and your life go together.

2. Gospel — Making opportunities in every field

Making opportunities in every field. That is knowing the gospel. It is enjoying it.

3. Evangelism
1) 3 Camps — The Holy Spirit being 300% with you in your life
In your life, the Holy Spirit is 300% with you. That is evangelism. It is 3 Camps. All right? You are already enjoying this. You must always be enjoying it.

2) Spiritual summit changing the forces of darkness with fundamental strength
You change the forces of darkness wherever you go. You change them with fundamental, spiritual strength. So even without any strength, you are fine. You are spiritual summits.

3) Our standard — 237, 5000, TCK
Always remember this. Our standard. Our standard is 237. Our standard is 5,000 peoples. If you lose this, you lose everything. TCK. So right now, tremendous doors are opening.

Now, today’s message is rather important, so you need to get a clear resolution regarding prayer. So today you must find the blessing that turns crisis into opportunity. Whatever the problem, it is all right. I bless you that this becomes the greatest opportunity of your life, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. Please make today a day of receiving the answer of a lifetime. We thank God who gave the opportunity of world evangelization to Israel in the midst of crisis. Please make us find the greatest opportunity of our lives. Please give us the true power of prayer. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

God at Work

2026.06.07 District Message Week 23
「God at Work」(Ge 13:1-18)

Genesis 13:1–18

01 So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, he and his wife and all that belonged to him, and Lot with him.
02 Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver and in gold.
03 He went on his journeys from the Negev as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
04 to the place of the altar which he had made there formerly; and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.
05 Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
06 And the land could not sustain them while dwelling together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to remain together.
07 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.
08 So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, nor between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are brothers.
09 Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me; if to the left, then I will go to the right; or if to the right, then I will go to the left.”
10 Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the valley of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere — this was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah — like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar.
11 So Lot chose for himself all the valley of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. Thus they separated from each other.
12 Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled in the cities of the valley, and moved his tents as far as Sodom.
13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked exceedingly and sinners against the Lord.
14 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
15 for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever.
16 I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants can also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I will give it to you.”
18 Then Abram moved his tent and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.

Summary

What is supremely important to human beings is not visible. What is more important than a finger is the mind, and when the mind goes, everything goes wrong. Our soul leaves the body and we die — but even going to the hospital, they can only examine the body; they cannot see the soul. So the things in Scripture that are truly answers, the truly important things, are all invisible to the eye, and people have no interest in them. They do not know the work of the Holy Spirit, the work of God, the background of the throne, the help of angels. So tell the Remnant: know the spiritual things and pray while studying. If a household fights every day, disaster will certainly come; if there is a household always giving thanks, blessing will certainly come.

▣ Introduction
1. Salvation — He is still saving people today.
2. Answer — He is still answering prayers today.
3. Fulfillment — The Word is still being fulfilled today.

▣ Main
1. Spiritual strength — God’s work — Those who know spiritual strength are set to let go of unbelief, and God’s work happens to those who know this.
1) The Red Sea — When unbelief was abandoned, the Red Sea was split.
2) The Jordan — Carrying the ark of the covenant, the Jordan was split.
3) Jericho — Going around in faith, Jericho fell.
4) Canaan — The small number who had faith entered the land of Canaan.
5) Mt Carmel — The powerful King Ahab should have seen God’s work at Mt Carmel and come to understanding, but the opposite came out.
6) 2 Kings 19:35 When King Hezekiah said he could not send tribute to Assyria, Assyria came attacking with 185,000 soldiers. “That night” when Hezekiah prayed through the night, the angel of the Lord killed all 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. Hezekiah knew this secret.
7) Daniel 6:10 Daniel was not only skilled, but he knelt three times a day toward the temple and prayed as before. So he gained wisdom enough to guide kings.

2. Unbelief — Awakening
1) Lot — Excuse — Abraham relied on his nephew Lot. This is not an ethical sin but a great sin. God said your seed would bring blessing to the nations, and he did not believe that Word. So he kept making excuses.
2) Strife arose.
3) Decision — He abandoned unbelief and chose faith (Genesis 13:1–13).

3. Faith — Decision — The very act of a decision of faith is the beginning of blessing.
1) Genesis 13:14 After Lot separated from Abraham, after Abraham made his decision of faith, God said: lift up your eyes and look north, south, east, and west.
2) Genesis 13:15 I will give this to your descendants, to you forever.
3) Genesis 13:16 Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth.
4) Genesis 13:17 Walk through the land lengthwise and crosswise. Wherever you set your foot, I will give it to you.

4. A small difference makes a great result.
1) Sodom — Lot with eyes bright to the flesh chose Sodom. That is expensive land.
2) Altar — Abraham chose the mountain and began building an altar.
▷ A decision of faith creates what people cannot foresee.

▣ Conclusion_ Relationship
No need to worry, no need to calculate. What Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Daniel, and Esther did was not that they calculated well — it was their relationship with God. Paul said worry about nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your requests known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds. Today when we make our decision of faith, the darkness collapses.

“God Who Works”

The title of this week’s district material is “God Who Works.”

Fortunately, what is important is invisible to the eye. Most women these days have a lot of plastic surgery, right? The reason they do it is because it’s something visible. But what is supremely important to human beings is not visible to the eye. What is more important than a finger is the mind, you see. When the mind goes, everything goes wrong. But this is not visible to the eye. Our soul leaves the body and we die — that’s what people say. But even going to the hospital, they only examine the body; they cannot see the soul. So the things in Scripture that are truly answers and truly important are all invisible to the eye, and people have no interest. The work of the Holy Spirit, the work of God, the background of the throne, the help of angels — they don’t know these things. Fortunately, right? If they knew, wealthy people would take it all. If people knew “God’s work is this important,” members of the National Assembly would take it all. Fortunately they don’t know. So they struggle and die.

I speak to the Remnant. “Know the spiritual things and pray while studying.” Without doing that, what is it that parents and school teach? Give it everything you’ve got, do whatever it takes — that’s what they teach. That’s right. So later when they go to companies they do whatever it takes. Even if others die — do whatever it takes. Even when they become politicians — do whatever it takes. Even if others die. Even if the country loses. Why? Because that’s what they were taught. So they don’t know the truly important things.

If, say, there is a household in your home that fights every day. Disaster will certainly come, right? Then there is a household that is always giving thanks. Then blessing will certainly come. Spiritual things that are invisible to the eye are tremendously important like this. So God is even now doing works of salvation, fulfillment of the Word, and answering prayers — but because it’s invisible to the eye, people don’t know its value.

▣ Introduction

1. Salvation
He is still saving people today.

2. Answer
He is still answering prayers today.

3. Fulfillment
The Word is still being fulfilled today.

These are the key things, but not knowing they are important, people grab hold of other things. So this is a chance. There are no competitors. If you receive blessing, you can save everyone else, so there is nothing to compete over.

▣ Main

1. Spiritual strength — God’s work

So those who know this spiritual strength are set to let go of unbelief. God’s work happens to those who know this, you see. People don’t understand it very well.

1) The Red Sea
At that time, through those who knew this, when unbelief was abandoned, the Red Sea split. Completely incomprehensible.

2) The Jordan
Carrying the ark of the covenant, the Jordan split.

3) Jericho
As you know, going around in faith, Jericho fell.

4) Canaan
And though many people were in unbelief, the small number who had faith entered the land of Canaan. Because it’s certain.

5) Mt Carmel
That so-powerful King Ahab should have seen God’s work at Mt Carmel and come to understanding, but he came out more shocked and went in the opposite direction.

6) 2 Kings 19:35
People don’t know. Assyria kept pressuring and taking from Israel, on and on. In the old days, China did that to us. They came to our country and interfered. Why would they interfere with us? They interfered. They even interfered with choosing the crown prince. Ridiculous. Hezekiah became king. He sent word to Assyria: “In my father’s day your nation received taxes from us, but there is no reason for us to pay taxes. So from today we will not send tribute to Assyria.” That’s natural, isn’t it? “Is that so?” Assyria came attacking with 185,000 soldiers. Naturally from their perspective — they would conquer and kill them. At first King Hezekiah wavered a little. He sent envoys. He sent some silver and gold. Didn’t work. So now they intended to eliminate Israel. King Hezekiah knew. 2 Kings 19:35. He staked his life and prayed through the night. In 2 Kings 19:35 it says “that night.” “That night” it says. All 185,000 Assyrian soldiers died. Scripture says “God sent His angel.” That’s right. Our lives and souls are all carried away by the angel of the Lord on His errand. King Hezekiah knew this secret. Ordinary people don’t know. Don’t be discouraged — pray.

7) Daniel 6:10
In Daniel 6:10, Daniel was not only skilled. “He knelt three times a day toward the temple and prayed as before.” That’s what it says. Ordinary people don’t see any value in this, you see. Daniel knew this. So he gained wisdom enough to guide kings. Right? You need to know this. That is why you are worshiping. What answer has come? Even if none comes, this itself is blessing.

2. Unbelief — Awakening

When unbelief is abandoned, amazing things happened. Abraham came to realize something late. What is it?

1) Lot — Excuse
He relied on his nephew Lot. But this is not an ethical sin — it’s a great sin. God said your seed would bring blessing to the nations, and he did not believe that Word. So to anyone looking from the outside, nothing looks wrong. Oh, what could be wrong with an uncle raising a nephew? Another person sees it that way. Abraham also has a good excuse. “Ah well, I have no children, so I should raise my nephew well.” The problem is not that. He didn’t believe God. He didn’t believe God’s promise. Think about it. Is that right? That’s how we do our faith life. So he kept making excuses.

2) Strife arose.

So strife eventually began to arise. At this point Abraham makes a decision.

3) Decision
He completely abandons unbelief and chooses faith. (Genesis 13:1–13)
So from this point, this passage is Genesis 13:1 through 13.

3. Faith — Decision

Now from this point, it is God — the very act of making a decision of faith is your beginning of blessing. When will the answer come? You don’t need to know that. Making a decision of faith is the blessing.

1) Genesis 13:14
“After Lot separated from Abram.” That’s what it says. This word means: after Abraham made his decision of faith. That’s what it says.

2) Genesis 13:15
What did He say? God said: “Lift up your eyes and look north, south, east, and west. I will give this to your descendants, to you forever.” That is Genesis 13:15. God did that.

3) Genesis 13:16
And what did He say? “Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth.”

4) Genesis 13:17
And what did He say? “Walk through the land lengthwise and crosswise. Wherever you set your foot, I will give it to you.” After making a decision of faith, things like this happen.

You may be sick and in pain. Whether you are healed or not, leave it to God, and make your decision of faith. Right? Like the three young men — even dying is fine, even living is fine. Nothing can stop this. The three young men said exactly that. Daniel said the same — even dying is fine. So what is this? It means: I will hold onto God’s covenant. Then from this point God began to work in Abraham.

4. Difference — Result

A small difference makes a great result.

1) Sodom
Full of greed, eyes bright to the flesh. Lot chose Sodom. That is expensive land.

2) Altar
Abraham chose the mountain and began building an altar. This small beginning makes a tremendous result.

Today your decision of faith creates something people can recognize. Right? Korea is a nation that needs to do world evangelization. There was a missionary named Thomas who came here with a Bible to evangelize, and was killed without being able to preach the gospel. He was seized upon entering Korea. But he said Korea must certainly receive the gospel, is a nation that needs the gospel, and is a nation that will do world evangelization. The result has changed tremendously. Your decision of faith today is exactly that.

▣ Conclusion

Now, for the conclusion.

[Relationship]

No need to worry. No need to calculate. What Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Daniel did, what Esther said — it was not that they calculated well. It is not a matter of “will this way work better, or that way” — that’s not it. It is a relationship. A relationship with God. It is not calculation.

“Do not be anxious about anything,” Paul said. “But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your requests known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.” Today when you make your decision of faith, the darkness collapses. Right? That decision must be made. “If I perish, I perish.” A decision was made. At that very moment the darkness had already collapsed. While on the desert path there was much complaining, but there were people there making decisions of faith. All of that was conveyed as power and evidence into the land of Canaan. Without even fighting, their hearts melted. When you face difficulties, you must hold the covenant in faith and make your decision. The forces of darkness are set to collapse right then. But the answer is set to come on the exact timetable.

I bless you that you enjoy this blessing all day today, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. We thank God. Please make today a day when the darkness collapses. Please let us make decisions of faith in the midst of difficulties. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Transcript

So at any time the conclusion is the scattered disciples. You need to know the background — what is it?

[Matthew 6:10]
Jesus said: “Pray for the kingdom of God to come.” Completely incomprehensible, right? This is now the conclusion.

[Matthew 6:33]
“Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. All these things will be added to you.” When you are just doing this prayer, it is not that you are just sitting there — it’s because this (the Main) is being built, so the work is set to happen. That’s what it is.

[Acts 1:3]
“For forty days about the kingdom of God.” Right now at this moment. Because the power of the throne is with me, right now at this moment. The kingdom of God is set to come. The work of the kingdom of God is being accomplished. That’s what it is.

[Acts 1:8]
You will receive 300% filling of the Holy Spirit for world evangelization.

[Acts 2:1–18]
And then this answer came.

All pastors, open this age (the core Main) in your churches. Today, evangelism disciples, be enjoying this (the core Main) blessing. Don’t try to do big things — just be within this (the core Main). Then God is set to do the great work.

Why has there been no answer for me until now? Start afresh. This promise is the most important promise in the Bible. I bless that a new bartizan would rise, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. We thank God. Please let the life Christ has given begin anew. Please keep us from struggling for a lifetime holding onto wrong things. Please make us into those who can do world evangelization. Please let us study with God’s power. Please let us do work with the power of the throne. Please let what Christ has given save the church. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Summary

“Bartizan of the Evangelism Disciple”

▣ Introduction_ Watchman
The reason a bartizan is needed is because you are a watchman.
1. Executor — So a watchman is one who executes the things of God.
2. Absolute bartizan — Journey — Guidepost. A watchman goes on an absolute journey with an absolute bartizan. Because others must be saved, he sets up guideposts.
3. News — A watchman delivers beautiful news. When disaster strikes, he quickly delivers the news. He also protects the people. Travelers also receive help from the bartizan.

▣ Main_ Promise — The promise made to the evangelism disciple, the watchman
1. 7·7·7 — Work (rechallenge, reproduction, re-creation)
The reason the important promise was given during 40 days is to make an important work with the bartizan, journey, and guidepost that Christ has given. This work must come out so that one can rechallenge, reproduce, and re-create.

Correct gospel — Christ is the answer to all things.
The most important part is understanding the correct gospel. Because Christ is the answer to all things, Christ is sufficient.

All things — Blessing.
So in all things you see God’s blessing. Behind difficulty lies God’s plan and blessing. Joseph appeared to be unjustly thrown into prison, David appeared to be wandering through death, but God had a special plan.

Bartizan of the throne.
This must be remembered because this is the bartizan of the throne.

2. 7·7·7 — 7 point
The watchman meets the person of the 7 points that God has prepared within the promise Christ has given. This is everything.

Correct prayer.
So a watchman is a person who knows correct prayer.

Status — Authority.
There is status prayer and there is authority prayer. Because you are God’s child, you can pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Using authority in the name of Jesus Christ, you can bind the darkness.

Every day, every hour, every matter.
For the Remnant, even 5 minutes is fine. Enjoy this prayer every day, every hour, in every matter.

24, 25, eternity.
Then it becomes 24, 25, eternity. It is not going somewhere to pray. It is praying while going. You can pray when a problem comes, but go to meet problems with the power of prayer.

▷ All things contain God’s plan and blessing. A person who does things wrongly — that person must be saved to be corrected. It’s because they don’t know the gospel well enough that they lose in the field. When you correctly enjoy the gospel, it flips into 100 years, a thousand years of answers.

If you know prayer there is a different power. The Remnant — go into the world with the power of prayer. Study with the power of prayer. You must actually hold a forum on how to pray. Then the Remnant will begin to pray.

3. 7·7·7 — 9 Forum
On the three-day weekend, hold the 7·7·7 and the 9 forums.

Correct evangelism — 3 Camps.
Correct evangelism is what Christ has promised. 3 Camps. Pioneering pastors, those who go to camp to establish an absolute bartizan — go when you are fully led by the Holy Spirit. We are trying to make RU in Korea and establish a properly structured bartizan with the church leaders. The church leaders must show the model.

The very first thing is to be fully led by the Holy Spirit on this matter. You just wait. Jesus said do not leave Jerusalem but wait for what the Father has promised. In this one thing everything ends. Then the work of the Holy Spirit is set to happen. Then the darkness breaks.

At that point He places the person of the 7 points. God’s people must receive God’s guidance.

That is why when you do 3 Camps, these 9 forums are tremendously important.

Open the three-day weekend age and teach what the correct gospel, the correct prayer, and the correct evangelism are.

Open the three courtyards and bring change. Fundamental healing must happen. The Remnant must first be made into spiritual summits.

We must align with 237 and the 5,000 peoples. That is enjoying the answer of the holy meditation age.

4. Book — The standard of the three books
1) Textbook (brain, soul, throne) — God’s Word being engraved in my thoughts, heart, brain, soul, and throne.
2) Handbook (life, 300%) — When you continue this prayer, 300% is built in your life.
3) Notebook (237, 5000, T·C·N) — The notebook means: while only continuing these three prayers (Main 1–3), it aligns with 237, the 5,000 peoples, TCK·CCK·NCK.

5. A System is built.
1) WIOS — The system of With, Immanuel, Oneness is built.
2) OURS — The system of Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation is built.
3) Always WITH S — When the Always With System is built, that is all that is needed.

▷ We habitually keep doing the things of unbelievers. It is not about winning by fighting. There is no need to fight. There is no opponent worth fighting.

“Bartizan of the Evangelism Disciple”

Thank you. Today’s message is: open the three-day weekend age and hold a serious forum. Because it is the bartizan of the evangelism disciple, that is why.

▣ Introduction_ Watchman

Why is a bartizan needed? Because you are a watchman. A watchman cannot be without a bartizan.

1. Executor
So a watchman is one who executes the things of God. Not doing his own things — executing what God is doing.

2. Absolute bartizan — Journey — Guidepost
This watchman goes on an absolute journey with an absolute bartizan. Because others must also be saved, he sets up guideposts.

3. News
A watchman delivers very beautiful news. Also when disaster strikes, he quickly delivers the news. He also protects the people. Travelers also receive help from the bartizan. It is tremendously important.

▣ Main_ Promise

So what are the promises that Christ has given to you the evangelism disciples and to the watchman? You need to know these.

1. 7·7·7 — Work (rechallenge, reproduction, re-creation)
Why was an important promise given during 40 days? It is to make an important work with the bartizan, journey, and guidepost that Christ has given. This work must come out so that you can rechallenge, reproduce, and re-create.

[Correct Gospel] — Christ is the answer to all things, All things — Blessing, Bartizan of the throne

So what is the most important part? It is understanding the correct gospel. You must remember this. Understanding the correct gospel means Christ is the answer to all things. So Christ is sufficient.

So in all things you see God’s blessing. This must be exactly so.

Among you there are those who are going through difficulties. But behind all of that there is certainly God’s plan and blessing. Joseph appeared to be unjustly sold and thrown into prison, but God had a special plan. David appeared to keep wandering through death, but God had a special plan.

The watchman must have the correct gospel. Having the wrong gospel won’t do.

Especially because this is the bartizan of the throne. You must remember this.

2. 7·7·7 — 7 Point
The watchman meets the supremely important person of the 7 points that God has prepared within the promise Christ has given. This is everything.

[Correct Prayer] Status — Authority, Every day · every hour · every matter, 24·25·eternity

So the watchman is not only about the correct gospel — he must deliver the correct news, right? He is a person who knows correct prayer. You must certainly find it.

There is first status prayer and there is authority prayer. Because you are God’s child, you can pray in the name of Jesus Christ. You can use authority in the name of Jesus Christ. You can bind the darkness. This is different. You can do both.

But you must remember this. For the Remnant, actually even 5 minutes is enough. Enjoy this prayer every day, every hour, in every matter. He gave five great promises.

Then 24, 25, eternity is set to happen. It is not going somewhere to pray. It is praying while going. You can pray when problems come, but go to meet problems with the power of prayer. Right or not? When the Remnant prays for just 5 minutes in the morning and then studies, tremendous things happen. The 7 Remnant figures all did that. You are currently not enjoying correct prayer. You are not enjoying the correct gospel. Christ is the solver of all problems — you must believe. All things contain God’s plan and blessing.

What about a person who does things wrongly? They are also in there. So that person must be saved to be corrected. It’s because they don’t know the gospel well enough right now. So they lose in the field. When you correctly enjoy the gospel, the blessing flips into something great — 100 years, in some cases a thousand years of answers.

If Joseph had gnashed his teeth saying “my brothers sold me like this, just you wait. Where am I being dragged? How can this be?” — he would have died along the way. Joseph, already holding the prayer answers and covenant he had, went on the path of mission. It is completely different. You may appear to know the gospel, but when you know the gospel, the eyes for seeing are completely different.

If you know prayer there is a different power. The Remnant — go into the world with the power of prayer. Study with the power of prayer. Without a doubt.

Just hold onto this covenant a little, hold a serious forum. “How do I pray?” This is now the timetable for this. When pastors do the three-day weekend, don’t just give messages and sing hymns — all of that is important — but you must actually hold a forum. “How do you pray?” For instance. If you just let the Remnant know a little, these Remnant will start to pray. Yeah, if you leave them alone and not do this, as they get older it becomes harder.

3. 7·7·7 — 9 Forum
Third, there is something given. This is now very important — on the three-day weekend do the 7·7·7 and the 9 forums. It must be done.

[Correct Evangelism] — 3 Camps

First, what is correct evangelism? You need to know that first. You need to know prayer correctly, know the gospel correctly, and know what evangelism is. Correct evangelism is what Christ has promised. So 3 Camps. You must remember this. Pioneering pastors — go when you are fully led by the Holy Spirit. That is important. Those who go out to camp to establish an absolute bartizan — they must confirm until the Holy Spirit’s guidance is fully there. That’s the end of it.

We are setting up RU and intending to do this with church leaders in Korea — what are we trying to do? We are trying to establish a truly properly structured bartizan. The church leaders must show the model. And what is the very first thing? Truly lay it down — lay down this matter and be fully led by the Holy Spirit. How do you do that? You wait. Jesus said wait. Not doing it unconditionally — do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for what the Father has promised. In this one thing, everything ends.

Then the work of the Holy Spirit is set to happen. Then the darkness breaks. At that point He places the person of the 7 points exactly. God’s people must receive God’s guidance.

That is why when you try to do 3 Camps, these 9 forums are tremendously important.

Open the three-day weekend age and you must certainly teach what the correct gospel, the correct prayer, and the correct evangelism are.

Open the three courtyards — they are being absolutely hidden. You must bring change. Fundamental healing must be given. It must certainly be taught. Otherwise it won’t work. And the Remnant must first make spiritual summits. That needs to happen in the three courtyards.

And why open the holy meditation age? It needs to align with 237. Haven’t you gone out to evangelize? It needs to align with 237. It needs to align with the 5,000 peoples. It needs to align with Vanuatu. It needs to align with island nations. That is enjoying the answer of the holy meditation age.

I explained the 9 forums. Now they must certainly be done.

4. Book
The remaining things — what is the standard of the three books?

1) Textbook (brain, soul, throne)
What in the world does the word “textbook” mean? God’s Word is engraved into my thoughts and heart, that is my brain. My soul and throne — it is engraved. Without doubt.

2) Handbook (life, 300%)
Why must you continue this prayer? What is the handbook? 300% is built in my life. You must not give up.

3) Notebook (237, 5000, T·C·N)
What is the notebook? While only continuing this prayer, while doing these three things (Main 1–3), what is the notebook? It aligns with 237, the 5,000 peoples, TCK, CCK, and NCK.

5. System
The last three systems. A system is built exactly. What?

1) WIOS
Finally the system of With, Immanuel, Oneness is built. There is nothing to worry about.

Our pastors — because the members are currently misunderstanding things, you need to change everything. Look truly at the Scripture, look at the Remnant, look at the evangelists. We are currently understanding it wrongly.

2) OURS
The system of Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation must be built.

3) Always WITH S
When this happens, it’s all done. At any time always — the Always With System. When this is built, that is all that is needed.

So we habitually keep doing the things of unbelievers. It is not about winning by fighting. There is no need to fight. There is no opponent worth fighting. No one who has won by fighting has ever won. Not even once. No major power has ever conquered another nation’s territory and been blessed by it — not even once. We keep misunderstanding.

So recently in my messages I’ve kept saying: “Going into captivity was not failure.” It’s not, is it? Right then and there, God’s work is already happening.

Today you must firmly grasp the five promises given to the evangelism disciple.

▣ Conclusion
So at any time the conclusion is working with the scattered ones.

The Remnants’ First Bartizan

02 And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing;
03 And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

3) Always With S

Summary

First Bartizan of the Remnant

The Remnant must come to church and build the first bartizan.

1. Talent (prayer)
The first is talent. This talent is not something I created — it is what God gives. So even with just a little prayer, it begins to become clearly visible.
1) Every day 7·7·7, every hour, every matter
No need to hurry and forcibly find the talent. Hold the covenant and pray every day. Don’t just study — study with a little bit of strength (every hour). Just do a little of this (every matter).
2) 24, 25, 00
Also gathering at the three-day weekend age and just doing a little of “how will I actually pray?” — one day these things (24, 25, 00) happen. When this happens, you now know prayer.
3) WIOS
The answer that comes at this time is the With, Immanuel, Oneness system.

2. 237 nations (300%)
The Remnant must receive answers that align with 237 nations. From long ago, truly successful people all aligned with this (237). The coming age will be difficult if not aligned with this. So your careers must all change too. Many systems will change. They will try to avoid using people whenever possible. Whenever bored they go on strike, demanding higher wages — why bother hiring people? Right now in Korea too people are saying what is the need for large buildings. Working from home (WFH) is more effective — that kind of situation has come. So truly prayer that aligns with 237 is needed. So the Remnant cannot afford not to have 300%.
1) 7 Point
On the Remnant’s path there are the 7 point people God has prepared. This is everything. This 7 points is the Remnant in one word. Whether or not pastors and missionaries meet these people determines a tremendous outcome.
2) 9 Forum
The 9 forums are essential. On the three-day weekend, making those who know the gospel, prayer, and evangelism. For that, on the three-day weekend the three courtyards are needed. The holy meditation age must look at 237, the 5,000 peoples, and TCK. That is the 9 forums.
3) OURS
Then finally the Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation system comes out for the Remnant.

3. The doors of the 5,000 peoples begin to open.
1) RT is important.
2) TCK, CCK, NCK
These Remnant will save TCK, CCK, NCK.
3) Always With S
What comes out at this time is the Always WITH system.

The bartizan the Remnant will hold comes like this (WIOS, OURS, Always WITH S). Already in the 237 nations there are the 5,000 peoples.

▷ The Remnant — go in this direction (WIOS). When this strength is gained, study with it. When going out, go with this strength. The system already exists. So the Remnant — just listening to the Word well causes work to happen. But if things become like this (WIOS, OURS, Always WITH S), world evangelization happens.

“First Bartizan of the Remnant”

The Remnant must come to church and build the first bartizan.

1. Talent (prayer)
The first is talent. The Remnant — this talent is not something I created but something God gives, you see. So even with just a little prayer, it begins to become clearly visible.

1) Every day [7·7·7], every hour, every matter
So no need to hurry and forcibly find the talent. Hold the covenant and pray every day. How will things turn out? You are praying this 7·7·7 every day. Then don’t just study — study with a little bit of this strength (every hour). Just do a little of this (every matter).

2) 24 25 00
Also gathering at the three-day weekend age, just doing a little of “how will I actually pray?” — one day these things (24, 25, 00) happen just like that. It becomes like that. When this happens, you now know prayer.

3) WIOS
The answer that comes at this time is the With, Immanuel, Oneness system. That comes exactly.

2. 237 nations
And the Remnant — how much of an answer are they receiving, you ask — they must receive answers that align with 237 nations. From long ago, truly successful people have all aligned with this (237). But the coming age will be difficult if not aligned with this. So your careers must all change. Many systems will change. They are already changing now but going forward it will be serious. Much thinking needs to happen. They will try to avoid using people whenever possible. Whenever bored they go on strike, demanding higher wages — why bother hiring people? Machines will do it all. Such an age is coming, and right now in Korea too: “What is the need for large buildings?” it’s become like that. “Working from home is more effective.” Such a situation has come.

WFH
So in America there is even such a term. This (WFH) means working from home. It has come to this point. So in that case, you truly need prayer that aligns with 237.

2. 237 nations (300%)
So the Remnant — this is what they need to do. You can’t do without 300%. At that point a few important things follow you.

1) 7 Point
This is the answer. On the Remnant’s path there are the 7 Point people God has prepared. This is everything. To say 7 Points in one word — it’s simply the Remnant. Since the Remnant encompasses “remnant,” “pilgrim,” and all the rest. God has prepared them. Whether or not pastors and missionaries meet these people determines a tremendous outcome.

2) 9 Forum
The 9 forums are essential. Making those who know the gospel, prayer, and evangelism on the three-day weekend, you see. Then what is needed on the three-day weekend? The three courtyards, you see. Right? Then what is needed for the holy meditation age? You need to look at 237, 5,000 peoples, and TCK, you see. That is the 9 forums.

3) OURS
Then how does it turn out? Finally the Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation system comes out for the Remnant.

3. 5000
Now from this point — it’s already happening, isn’t it? The doors of the 5,000 peoples begin to open. Right now there will be very few places where the doors of the 5,000 peoples are open and the evangelism movement is happening. It’s just beginning to happen.

1) RT
So the Remnant is important.

2) TCK, CCK, NCK
These Remnant will save TCK and this (CCK, NCK).

3) Always WITH S
What comes out at this time? The Always WITH system.

The bartizan the Remnant will hold (WIOS) — it comes like this (OURS, Always WITH S). So even without believing it comes, but if you don’t believe, your eyes are dark and you can’t see it. Even without believing this (WIOS, OURS, Always WITH S) comes. Whether you believe or not, there are already 237 nations and 5,000 peoples. This is about seeing it.

So just Remnant — go in this direction (WIOS). When this strength is exactly gained, study with it. Then studying won’t be hard and you will see something tremendous. Also when going out, go with this strength, you see. The system already exists, I tell you. So the answer that all 7 Remnant gave was this (WIOS). Isn’t that what Joseph said? “The Lord was with me” — someone else looked and said “the Lord blesses you.” “The Lord blesses you in all things” — there is no greater blessing than that. Even when going before the king — “the Lord.” Because he gave such a tremendous answer, those words took effect on the king. So it develops forward like this (OURS) and on and on (Always WITH S).

The Remnant — in reality just hearing the covenant, work already happens. The Remnant — just listening to the Word well causes work to happen, I tell you. But if things become like this (WIOS, OURS, Always WITH S), world evangelization happens. I bless all the national and global Remnant to now open their spiritual eyes and become true protagonists who gain the strength God gives, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. We thank God. We thank God who has blessed our Remnant. Please open our spiritual eyes so that we are not deceived. Please grant us the wisdom not to be deceived in the field. Please make us hold the exact covenant that prepares for the future. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Isaac’s Bartizan

The 237 Nations and the Bartizan of God’s Kingdom That Fulfills the Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (23)
– Bartizan of the 3-day Weekend Age 69 –
「Isaac’s Bartizan」(Ge 26:10-24)

Genesis 26:10–24

10 Then Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
11 So Abimelech charged all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”
12 Now Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. And the Lord blessed him,
13 and the man became rich, and continued to grow richer until he became very wealthy;
14 for he had possessions of flocks and herds and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him.
15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with earth.
16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are too powerful for us.”
17 And Isaac departed from there and camped in the valley of Gerar, and settled there.
18 Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the same names which his father had given them.
19 But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of flowing water there,
20 the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it Sitnah.
22 He moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it Rehoboth, for he said, “At last the Lord has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
23 Then he went up from there to Beersheba.
24 The Lord appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you, and multiply your descendants, for the sake of My servant Abraham.”

Summary

Today is the 69th three-day weekend age. With this passage let us look at Isaac’s bartizan. Our theme is bartizan. We are continuing to follow the Word on this. If the actual church is not going well, borrow RUTC and hold a three-day weekend gathering and actually teach what kind of prayer is done in the morning, how to pray in the afternoon, and how to quietly enjoy and study in the evening. When the weather is good, arrangements should be made for the children to put up tents at church and hold prayer gatherings. A single experience becomes a tremendously important experience.

Person who knows prayer
The goal of the three-day weekend is to make people like Isaac. But the Remnant in reality doesn’t know what prayer is. So they must be made to learn prayer through life. Adults must first embrace in their hearts the truth that the three-day weekend age is important. To enjoy prayer, one must be a person who knows prayer.

(Throne — Kingdom, Work) Every day, every hour, every matter / 24, 25, eternity
When you pray, tremendous things of the throne, the kingdom of God, and the work of the kingdom happen. Enjoying this every day, every hour — that is the practice. When difficult things or good things happen to us, seeing the important plan of God in them is every matter. Then you come to study within prayer. Then amazing things happen and you see the world. That is called 24. Then even while just sitting and waiting, 25 becomes visible, and the work called eternity comes out. This is knowing prayer. They must be made to become this way. Children must be guided to have this experience. Primarily when staying together, they must be enabled to pray after receiving the message.

Person who knows the gospel — Blessing (plan)
Children get hurt by trivial things, and they carry many wounds. And there are many things they don’t tell their parents. If buried, they become wounds; if endured, they become illness. If just done halfheartedly, they become covered up. So truly within the depths, God’s blessing must be found. That is the person who knows the gospel. A person who knows the gospel and knows prayer doesn’t judge quickly, doesn’t calculate. We are right now filming the movie of our lifelong life story. Finding blessing and God’s plan everywhere. If this doesn’t happen, they cannot win even at home, and even less at school. Going out into society is difficult, and there is no time for world evangelization. There is no room for that. This must be thought about seriously. You must not age without the actual power of prayer. You must enjoy the blessing God has given.

Person who knows evangelism — 3 Camps
God’s person absolutely moves by the work of the Holy Spirit and lives by the power of the Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit guides us. The Holy Spirit takes us along to bear fruit. This is called 3 Camps. This is called the person who knows evangelism. It is not about doing evangelism — they need to know it.

▣ Main
Isaac did all three of these things.

1. Genesis 22:1–21 (engraving, prayer, witness)
Solidly engraved through the gospel, he came to enjoy solid prayer. He came to hold solid gospel witness. The gospel, prayer, and evangelism appeared in his life.
1) Death — Covenant
In the field called death he saw the covenant. Why he was about to die — he doesn’t know. That is original sin.
2) Salvation — Covenant
So God provided salvation. He saw that also as a covenant.
3) Witness — World
At that very moment he was promised: you are a witness to save the world.

2. Genesis 26:10–24 (field)
This became the gospel enjoyed in the field with all three of these. We too lose this gospel and prayer in the field.
1) Abraham
He recovered all the wells his father had dug.
2) Spring source
The enemies came and interfered, but it didn’t matter. He gained the spring source.
3) Rehoboth
He received the blessing of Rehoboth. There is nothing to become a problem.

We have the standard of those who have not received salvation. We keep trying to live that way. You must quickly change the children. “You are God’s saved child. The Holy Spirit guides you. The Holy Spirit is responsible for your future.” This needs to be taught.

3. Evangelization of future generations
This blessing of God must be made to bring about the evangelization of future generations.
1) Jacob
Isaac gave birth to Jacob.
2) Joseph
From Jacob the figure of Joseph emerges.
3) Moses
After that the figure of Moses also emerges.
These people completely did world evangelization. Going to Egypt, the work of saving 237–5,000 peoples took place.

▣ Conclusion_ 24 (25, eternity)
Just truly doing 24 is enough. Then 25 and eternity are set to follow.

One thing (all things)
What is more important is from one thing all things must come out. A musician did music and all things followed. That person is a musician. A painter painted and all things were restored. That person is a painter. One knew Christ and all things followed — that person is a Christian. What do the elders need to change? From the day of their anointing, everything must change for you. Within that all things must be restored and come alive. For the pastor, praying for and doing evangelism for the flock must be everything. Then everything is set to be restored.

Only (300%)
When “only” is found, 300% follows.

Our church leaders and those in work — you must pray deeply. The three-day weekend age — why does it need to be opened? Going forward, the three-day weekend age will become an age of drugs and an age of depravity in Europe and America. We must recover everything during the three-day weekend.

— Three-day weekend age Bartizan 69 —

Today is our 69th three-day weekend age bartizan.

“Isaac’s Bartizan”

With this passage let us look at Isaac’s bartizan. Now that June has set in, the flow of the message — our theme is bartizan. So we are continuing to follow the Word on this.

Actually, if your church is not going well, even borrowing RUTC — hold a three-day weekend gathering and actually teach what kind of prayer is done in the morning. In the afternoon, to put it simply, it’s about opening the eyes — because even meeting is one kind of eyes opening. Actually teach how to pray in the afternoon. And because the evening is ultimately about making a work, actually teach how to quietly enjoy and study like this. You must actually teach these things.

So I said this to Immanuel Seoul and Busan. When the weather is good, put up tents and let the children come and pray and hold their gathering there. How good is a place like RUTC? So just give out those tents without charge — don’t take money for it. A single experience becomes a tremendously important experience.

[Person who knows prayer (Throne — Kingdom, Work) Every day Every hour Every matter / 24 25 eternity]

So what is the goal? What is the goal of doing the three-day weekend age? We want to make people like Isaac, but what must actually be done? Almost all our Remnant in reality don’t know what prayer is. So if we say they need some great experience before they can learn prayer — that is dangerous. The best thing is to make them learn prayer through life. So you need to have this in your hearts: “Ah, the three-day weekend age — this is important.” The people in work, the church leaders, the adults need to embrace it first in order to be able to help the children. Then are the adults doing well? From my perspective — that’s not quite the case either.

So to enjoy prayer, one must be a person who knows prayer. When you pray, tremendous things of the throne, God’s kingdom, and the work of the kingdom happen. Enjoying this every day. And right now — what time are we in? Every hour. And difficult things may happen to us, and good things happen, right? At these times seeing the important plan of God — every matter. Then you come to study within prayer. When this happens, that is it. For the Remnant to have the secret of prayer and study — this is now when amazing things happen. And then you see the world. Absolutely no other way. Looking at that is called 24. Then even just staying and waiting — you see it. 25. Then the work called eternity comes out, right? This is knowing prayer. You must make it happen.

At first, just gather together and give guidance: “Today do this and this.” You need to give guidance. But what we usually see is: when staying together, listen to the message, do what program, and like that — that is not bad but the actual question is how should these children pray on their own? This is really not a joke and not a passing remark. You can’t afford not to know this. So the 7 Remnant figures, when they went, they went with the answer. Not getting strength after arriving — they went carrying the strength. This is what is important.

So when you enjoy this, it is really different. So the person who doesn’t pray — it shows, it shows right away. If you are enjoying this — even just a little in the morning, for example you go hiking, going to the mountains is good. Then if you look at a sleeping person, to put it a bit rudely, they look a bit like an animal, I tell you. If you truly are enjoying this — you know. The message is different and the thinking is different and what you see is different. The Remnant is different. Elders are different. Shouldn’t it be this way? Jesus said it earnestly, I tell you.

[Person who knows the gospel — Blessing (plan)]

And then you must actually have conversations with the children. Children get hurt by trivial things and carry many wounds, and there are many things they don’t tell their parents. If you bury that, it becomes a wound. If you endure it, it becomes illness. Right? If you just do things halfheartedly, it becomes covered up — covered up. Is that acceptable? Then you must truly find God’s blessing from deep within. Looking at that, before being one who enjoys the gospel, one must be a person who knows the gospel. You can only enjoy the gospel when you know the gospel.

So a person who knows the gospel and knows prayer generally doesn’t judge quickly. When an incident happens, they can’t judge quickly. Right? Then there is no calculation. Both you and your children right now — your whole life is a movie you are filming. You are the protagonist. What do you need to do? A person who knows the gospel discovers blessing and God’s plan everywhere. If this doesn’t happen, they can’t win at home. Go to school? Even less. If they go out into society like that — it’s difficult. There is no time for world evangelization. Why? Because I have no room for that. This must be thought about seriously. Especially our church leaders. You see, you have grown older now. You have grown older without the actual power of prayer. What will you do? This is not something to just let pass by. You must enjoy the blessing that was given — losing it

is not acceptable. You do everything else but not this (person who knows the gospel — blessing (plan)). You worry about all kinds of things but not this (person who knows the gospel — blessing (plan)). You talk about all kinds of things, about other people’s affairs, this and that, but not this (person who knows the gospel — blessing (plan)). What kind of gift is that, exactly?

[Person who knows evangelism — 3 Camps]

God’s person absolutely moves by the work of the Holy Spirit. Why? Because the Holy Spirit guides. They certainly live by the power of the Holy Spirit. Right? Then the Holy Spirit takes us along to bear fruit. Looking at that is called 3 Camps. What do you call looking at this? The person who knows evangelism. The problem is not about doing evangelism — you need to know it.

Look at this picture carefully. Next Sunday our music team that went abroad will report back — don’t just watch, but watch how it was planned and how it is going. Our members already have the message prepared. Right? They hadn’t seen the field. They were sent to see the field. The field is not something that is the field just because you went and came back. You need to see the field. So the people who went this time were surprised and the people who participated were all surprised too. You will see the Word being fulfilled as is.

This is what I am telling you to do during the three-day weekend age. So our children are almost unable to pray. Just a little help would do, but since we can’t give that help, the children are struggling.

So Isaac did all three of these things.

1. Genesis 22:1–21 (engraving, prayer, witness)
First. Genesis 22:1–21. What happened? He was solidly engraved through the gospel. He nearly died. With this he came to enjoy solid prayer. And he came to hold solid gospel witness. As a result, these three things — gospel, prayer, and evangelism — appear exactly in his life.

1) Death — Covenant
So in the field called death he saw the covenant, I tell you. He was about to die. Why does he have to die? Unknown. That is being human, and that is original sin.

2) Salvation — Covenant
So God provided salvation. He saw that too as a covenant precisely.

3) Witness — World
And that is not where it ended. It is exactly the same. At that very moment he is promised: you are a witness to save the world.

2. Genesis 26:10–24 (field)
So what happens to Isaac then? Finally — where does he enjoy these three things? It becomes the gospel enjoyed in the field. We too lose this gospel and this prayer in the field.

1) Abraham
So he recovered all the wells his father had dug. The enemy came and interfered and buried them all.

2) Spring source
It doesn’t matter at all. He gained the spring source. Right? This is the blessing a child of God receives. Everything the world teaches — when you look at it all, it is destruction education. You must win by fighting. Right? You must win by fighting. That’s what they teach. That is destruction education. In reality, winning by fighting helps nothing at all. The great powers won many nations — did they become great powers? That Egypt is today’s Egypt, isn’t it? The fearsome Babylon — which nation is it? Isn’t it today’s Iraq? The Medes, Persians, a tremendous nation — where is it now? Isn’t it Iran? Those guys throw tantrums in soccer. Their character is strange, just. Look at those Middle Eastern children when they play soccer against us — they score one goal, and from then on they don’t play soccer anymore. They all lie down. Won’t get up. Their character is like that, I tell you. They have never won by fighting. He gained the spring source. And they attack again. Because that’s all they know how to do. Because they think they’re good at it. What an illusion.

3) Rehoboth
He received the blessing of Rehoboth. There is nothing to become a problem. We keep having the standard of those who haven’t been saved, don’t we? We keep trying to live that way. You must quickly change the children. “You are God’s saved child. The evidence — the Holy Spirit is with you. The Holy Spirit is within you. The Holy Spirit guides you.” Right? “The Holy Spirit takes responsibility for your future.” This needs to be taught.

3. Evangelization of future generations
So we must make this blessing of God bring about the evangelization of future generations.

1) Jacob
As you know, Isaac gives birth to Jacob.

2) Joseph
From this Jacob the figure of Joseph emerges.

3) Moses
After that in succession the figure of Moses also emerges.

These people completely did world evangelization. People cannot imagine it. How can this kind of thing happen? Going to Egypt, the work of saving 237 and 5,000 peoples took place, I tell you. You must believe it.

▣ Conclusion_ 24 (25, eternity)

Just truly doing 24 is enough. Then 25 and eternity are set to follow.

One thing (all things)
What is more important — I intend to say much of this at the church leader conference — from one thing all things must come out. You knew Christ and all things came out. That is knowing Christ. You did music and all things followed. That person is a musician. You painted and all things were restored. That person is a painter. You knew Christ and everything followed. That person is a Christian. What do the elders need to change? From the day of anointing, everything must change for you. Maybe marriage can be done twice, but being anointed cannot be done twice. It’s once. So what doesn’t change? “Ah, this anointing is everything.” When this doesn’t happen — that’s the problem. So from within that, everything must be restored and come alive, but it doesn’t. For the pastor, praying for and doing evangelism for the flock must be everything. Then everything is set to be restored. Even if it doesn’t restore — it must be done, but it is set to restore. That much is certain.

Only (300%)
When “only” is found, 300% follows, I tell you.

Our church leaders and those in work — you must pray deeply. The three-day weekend age — why does it need to be opened? Going forward, the three-day weekend age — Europe and America will be an age of drugs during the three-day weekend. The three-day weekend will change into an age of depravity. We must recover everything during the three-day weekend. I bless that the church leaders and those in work would first enjoy this blessing, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ who is the King of all kings, the infinite love of God, and the work of the Holy Spirit always be with the people in work and the church leaders who will save this age, from now through eternity. Amen.

People: “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”

Leader: The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
People: the Lord scoffs at them.

Leader: He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

Hymn
The Best Friend to Have Is Jesus
^{P. P. Bilhorn}

Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus,
When the cares of life upon you roll,
He will heal the wounded heart,
He will strength and grace impart;
Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus.

The best friend to have is Jesus,
The best friend to have is Jesus,
He will help you when you fall,
He will hear you when you call;
Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus.

What a friend I have found in Jesus!
Peace and comfort to my soul He brings;
Leaning on His mighty arm,
I will fear no ill nor harm;
Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus. Refrain

Tho’ I pass thro’ the night of sorrow,
And the chilly waves of Jordan roll,
Never need I shrink nor fear,
For my Saviour is so near;
Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus. Refrain

When at last to our home we gather,
With the faithful who have gone before,
We will sing upon the shore,
Praising Him forevermore;
Oh, the best friend to have is Jesus. Refrain

Scripture Reading
Esther 4:1-16
^{Carmetta Williams}

When Mordecai learned of all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the city, wailing loudly and bitterly. ²But he went only as far as the king’s gate, because no one clothed in sackcloth was allowed to enter it. ³In every province to which the edict and order of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing. Many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

⁴When Esther’s eunuchs and female attendants came and told her about Mordecai, she was in great distress. She sent clothes for him to put on instead of his sackcloth, but he would not accept them. ⁵Then Esther summoned Hathak, one of the king’s eunuchs assigned to attend her, and ordered him to find out what was troubling Mordecai and why.

⁶So Hathak went out to Mordecai in the open square of the city in front of the king’s gate. ⁷Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him, including the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury for the destruction of the Jews. ⁸He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict for their annihilation, which had been published in Susa, to show to Esther and explain it to her, and he told him to instruct her to go into the king’s presence to beg for mercy and plead with him for her people.

⁹Hathak went back and reported to Esther what Mordecai had said. ¹⁰Then she instructed him to say to Mordecai, ¹¹“All the king’s officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that they be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter to them and spares their lives. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king.”

¹²When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai, ¹³he sent back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. ¹⁴For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

¹⁵Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: ¹⁶“Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”

Message
Crises Are Opportunities
^{Pastor Ryu Kwang Su}

▣ Introduction: Five Things to Know in Advance
1. The reason suffering came (the reason for captivity) — because there was no spiritual strength.
2. Why has this kind of crisis come at this moment?
3. What does God’s Word prophesy?
4. What happens when we pray?
5. Why are we here? — Esther knew what her mission was.

▣ Main: Do Not Fear the Crisis.
1. The crisis that came upon all of Israel — an opportunity for world evangelization
…1) The reason God sent them as slaves to Egypt — an opportunity for world evangelization (237, 5000)
…2) The reason God caused them to be taken captive to Assyria — an opportunity for the recovery of missed world evangelization
…3) The reason God caused them to be taken captive to Babylon — the timetable and opportunity for world evangelization
▷ If you don’t know this, even if you come out of Egypt you cannot come out from under Satan.
▷ Throne — The prayer of one who knows the gospel and knows the reason moves the throne (Isaiah 62:6–7).

2. Family line and personal problems — a springboard for the future (prayer that brings the kingdom of God)
…1) Esther 2:7 Mordecai, who adopted and raised Esther, the orphan
…2) Esther 2:20 Mordecai, a man of prayer, who told Esther not to reveal that she was Jewish
…3) Esther 4:14–16 “Speak now.” “If I perish, I perish.” — Because they held the secret of covenant, faith, and prayer, everything became a springboard.
▷ Kingdom — When you know the covenant and pray, the kingdom of God comes (Esther 4:16).

3. When the wicked cause many difficulties — an opportunity to bear witness to the light (prayer that brings about the work of the kingdom of God)
…1) Mordecai who reported the plot to assassinate the king
…2) Mordecai who did not bow to Haman
…3) The resolve of Mordecai and Esther who brought down all the forces of darkness — Haman’s evil failure and the Festival of Purim commemorating this event
▷ Work — When you truly pray with the covenant, the work of the kingdom of God is accomplished.

▣ Conclusion: Three Things to Enjoy Daily
1. The power of prayer
…1) Go to meet problems with the power of prayer.
…2) Go seeking problems with the answer.
…3) Prayer and life go together.

2. Gospel — Making opportunities in every field

3. Evangelism
…1) 3 Camps — The Holy Spirit being 300% with you in your life.
…2) Changing the forces of darkness with fundamental strength. You are spiritual summits.
…3) Our standard — 237, 5000, TCK

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

Summary

▷ Most people who pray and receive the Word miss something. You need to know what kind of answer is happening right now. The very first thing Jesus did was break Satan. The darkness must be broken first. At that time, the angels of the Lord ministered to him. Then, saying “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men,” he took the people up to the mountain and gave an important message. That is Matthew chapters 5, 6, and 7. The Sermon on the Mount, which can be called a summary of all sermons, was described by many theologians as the king’s declaration. The most important thing here is not the answer but our “spiritual state.”

The work of the Triune God → Spiritual State ← 9 blessings of the throne

▣ Introduction: When Jesus began his public ministry, he first broke Satan and then explained blessing.

How do people generally think about blessing?

1) Long life, health, material wealth, honor, descendants – if these things are blessing, then Jesus’ message would be wrong and the Pharisees would be right. The blessing in the Bible means that a person who has received God’s true blessing should have health, money, honor, and descendants.
2) Powerful nations – People of powerful nations think that Genesis chapters 3, 6, and 11 are blessing. They are deceived into thinking that even without believing in God, having our own power, a strong economy, and building the tower of Babel is blessing, and they are ruining even their descendants.
3) Idol worship – In Acts chapters 13, 16, and 19, they think that worshiping idols brings great answers.

2. Evidence – it ruins both the person and their descendants.
3. War – it even causes war and ruins nations.

▣ Main

You must know what the wrong blessing is.

1) Vassal state – Right now Israel has become a vassal state of Rome, which has set up powerless tetrarchs, and that tetrarch Herod built the Herod Temple to gain popularity. Becoming king by flattering Rome, building a temple, taking a position, and rising to prominence is not blessing.
2) Religious life – A completely gospel-less religious life is not blessing.
3) Disaster – Because they do not know evangelism and missions, disaster is waiting.
(1) In 70 AD, Israel would be completely destroyed.
(2) Wanderers – Their descendants would become wanderers throughout the entire world.

▷ There are many problems when you go to church. Within these problems, if you find the answers God gives and seize God’s new opportunity for renewal, your spiritual state will change. The Triune God works in me invisibly, and the 9 blessings of the throne come to pass.

2. What is true blessing?

1) Poverty – Blessed are the poor in spirit.
2) Mourning – Those who mourn will receive God’s comfort.
3) Meekness – Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
4) Hungering and thirsting for righteousness – Those who long to receive grace will receive blessing.
5) Mercy – Those who show mercy to others will receive blessing.
6) Purity – Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
7) Peace – Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
8) Those persecuted for righteousness – Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

3. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:10-12) – When the Eight Beatitudes are summarized into one, the most commonly recurring theme is this: the spiritual vessel to receive true blessing is prepared.

1) God makes me his throne (my 24). – It is to revive me.
2) When we worship and pray in church, the blessing of the throne comes (church 24).
3) The blessing of the throne comes upon work and the field (field 24).

▷ When you receive the answers of this outpouring blessing of the throne, even problems are okay. When you receive the blessing of Acts chapter 2 that comes upon the church, even if every church member is unusual, it is okay. People with spiritual problems gather at church, and we must hold onto them and bring healing. The blessing of the throne came equally upon Joseph, David, Daniel, and Gaius.

▣ Conclusion

Matthew 5:13-16, Matthew 5:17-18

1. You are the light of the world.
2. You are the salt of the world.
3. Imprinting, rooting, constitution

▷ When the light of the life of Christ shines, the darkness flees on its own. The word of the Lord will not disappear by even one jot or tittle, and all of it will be fulfilled. When this blessing and answer is imprinted upon us, history continues to unfold. Christ saves us and continues to pour down the blessing of the Triune God and the 9 blessings of the throne upon us. Enjoying this is prayer and worship.

Transcript

…those who receive miss something. At any time, you need to know what kind of answer is happening right now.

Darkness, angels – Matthew 4:19 – Sermon on the Mount

Darkness

The very first thing Jesus did was break Satan. This must happen first. The darkness must be broken first.

Angels

“Then the angels of the Lord came and ministered to him.” That’s what it says.

Matthew 4:19

Now, continuing from there, he went up the mountain. While doing this, he said these words: “Follow me.” He said, “Don’t worry, just follow me. I will make you fishers of men.”

Sermon on the Mount

After saying this, he took them up to the mountain. There he gave an important message. That is chapters 5, 6, and 7. It is not a simple sermon; it can be seen as a summary of all sermons. Many theologians have said – what have they said? – they interpreted Matthew chapters 5, 6, and 7, this Sermon on the Mount, as the king’s declaration. I see it that way too.

[Spiritual State]

The most important thing for you is what is happening right now, and the most important thing for us is not the answer. It is spiritual state. All answers come from here, and failure comes from here as well. Right now, Jesus is delivering an extraordinary message on an extraordinary timeline. You must remember this. Our level of faith is too low – because we don’t know God’s blessing, we waste time on whether this is right or wrong. The answer doesn’t come from there. It comes from here (spiritual state). If this is your spiritual state, then from here, extraordinary things can happen, and because of this (spiritual state), extraordinary failure can come as well.

“The Beginning of True Blessing”

Now, what did Jesus explain here? He explained what true blessing is, what the beginning of this true blessing is. Well, everyone wants to receive blessing, right? But Jesus explained what the beginning of true blessing is. This becomes a very important message.

▣ Introduction

Today you must remember this right here in the introduction. Jesus went up the mountain, gathered the crowds, and explained. Simply put, he began the sermon that marks the very start of his public ministry. At the start, he broke the power of Satan first. And then he explained about blessing.

1. People

How do people generally think about blessing?

1) Long life, health, material wealth, honor, descendants

“Ah, living a long life is blessing. Living a long time, that’s it.” When someone dies early, people talk as if they didn’t receive blessing. “And very healthily too. That is blessing.” People also say, “Having a lot of money, that’s blessing.” And also, “When honor rises like this, isn’t all of that blessing?” That’s how they talk. And also, “When your descendants do well, isn’t that a blessing? There is no greater blessing than this.” That’s what people mainly say.

Then today Jesus’ message would be wrong, wouldn’t it? The Pharisees would be more right. The Pharisees fall into this category (Introduction 1). But then the Pharisees failed to understand this message. That’s why they were ruined. The Bible does not say that this (Introduction 1) is blessing. A person who receives blessing should live long. Right? A person who has received God’s true blessing should be healthy, have money, have honor, and have descendants. If someone who has not received heaven’s true blessing lives a long time, it’s a headache. It’s better for them to go quickly. Right? A person who has not received God’s blessing, a person who does the work of Satan – they have money? That person is the problem. So when they take honor, that becomes the problem. People of the world think this (Introduction 1) is blessing. It is not. When a person who has received true blessing holds honor, they end up saving many people.

2) Powerful nations (Genesis 3, 6, 11)

The people of these powerful nations think that this (Genesis 3, 6, 11) is blessing. Genesis chapters 3, 6, 11 – “Even without believing in God, with our own power, our economy is strong, we build the tower of Babel – isn’t that blessing?” they think. It sounds right, but it is a delusion. And so these powerful nations ended up ruining even their descendants. The Bible does not lie. You must hold onto the Word of God. Going forward, even the current powerful nations should come to their senses and pray, shouldn’t they? Not a single past powerful nation has prevented disaster from falling upon its descendants. “But aren’t we doing fine even without believing in God?” Genesis chapter 3. “How we have multiplied, how well things are going. Aren’t we building walls and towers with enormous power?” If you hear it for a moment it sounds right. But it ruins descendants, generations for hundreds of years.

3) Idol worship (Acts 13, 16, 19)

And many people think this way: “Doesn’t worshiping idols bring answers?” Look – Acts chapters 13, 16, 19. “What great answers these are!” That’s how they think.

2. Evidence

[Descendants]

So there is evidence. Well, everything is fine. It’s fine for the individuals to be ruined, but even their descendants.

3. [War]

If only the descendants are ruined, that would be enough. They think they have received blessing without God, and if only the descendants are ruined it would be enough – but they cause war and ruin many other nations as well. This is not blessing.

▣ Main

Jesus gave an extraordinary message today. He went up the mountain.

1. Wrong Blessing

He talked about this blessing, and to find the greatest meaning, if you read from verse 5 to verse 18, you need to know what the wrong blessing is. Right? You need to know what the wrong blessing is.

1) Vassal state – tetrarch – Herod Temple

Right now Israel has become a vassal state of Rome.

Tetrarch

Because of this, they are powerless, and Rome appoints what they call tetrarchs. They install kings here and there and apply pressure.

Herod Temple

Even Herod the king, who serves the Roman emperor, built the Herod Temple to gain popularity. This is not blessing, that’s what I’m saying. How is this blessing? It is disaster. Isn’t that right? I mean, by flattering Rome you become king, build a temple, take a position, and rise to prominence? This is not blessing. Jesus was saying the exact opposite right now. He was saying it in such a contrary way that it was startling.

2) Religious life

A completely gospel-less religious life is not blessing. It is wrong.

3) Disaster

Because of this, of course they don’t know evangelism and don’t know missions, and so disaster is waiting.

(1) 70 AD

When Jesus was saying these words, not many years later – in 70 AD – Israel would be completely destroyed.

(2) Wanderers

What is even more laughable is this: all their descendants would become wanderers throughout the entire world. How is this blessing? You need to know well what is not blessing. What is being built right now in our (spiritual state) here is important.

You know what you always talk about when you sit in church, don’t you? When you go to church, you see many problems. “Ah, because of these problems it is too hard to keep going to church.” What would that person’s spiritual state be like? Right? There are many conflicts when you go to church. There should be many. People with problems should come to church. Right? What do you think? Should people with problems not come to church? Should they go to Tenrikyo? Soka Gakkai? Should they go there?

People with problems should come to church. Right? People with conflicts, people in crisis – those people should come. Those people receive forgiveness of sins, receive salvation, and are transformed by the power of God. If your eyes are open to that – as we talked about yesterday, at the new year – always within the problems, find the answers, God’s new renewal, God’s opportunities – when you seize these, this (spiritual) state completely changes.

Simply put, what is it? You must remember this for life.

Triune God → Spiritual State ← Throne

The Triune God invisibly and perfectly begins to work in me. This is what I’m talking about. The 9 blessings of the throne that God has prepared continue to unfold in me. Now the rest is evidence, so the work is bound to take place.

2. True Blessing

Now, Jesus is explaining today what true blessing is. When you look at it, it’s to a degree that you can’t understand.

1) Poverty

“Blessed are the poor in spirit.” The people in (Main 1) would not understand when they hear this, but this is exactly what they need to hear. “You need your spirit to be poor – that is where the blessing is.” He spoke of eight blessings. “Only then is the kingdom of heaven yours.”

2) Mourning

“And blessed are those who mourn.” How is this blessed? You might think that. Mourning is painful. Open your eyes and look carefully. “Those who mourn will receive God’s comfort.” Look carefully at the age. Look at reality. If you look at the world carefully, you’ll understand.

3) Meekness

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” The people in (Introduction), the powerful nations, have never once actually inherited the earth through war. In the end, it is all taken from them.

4) Thirst

Look at the words of Jesus right here, now. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.” Passionately longing to receive grace – that is blessing.

5) Mercy

“Blessed are those who show mercy to others. Only then will you receive mercy.”

6) Heart

“Blessed are the pure in heart. They shall see God.” Jesus said this right now.

7) Peace

“Blessed are the peacemakers. They shall be called sons of God.”

8) Righteousness – Persecution

It came up again. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

He spoke of exactly 8 blessings. There’s no need to memorize all 8; if you summarize them all into just one thing, what is it? It is a message that people of the world, people who are here only briefly, would not even grasp.

3. Kingdom of Heaven (10-12)

Something common emerged here. What came up? The thing that appeared most is verse 10. “For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Verse 12. “For your reward in heaven is great.” Now what is this?

[Spiritual Vessel]

It means that the spiritual vessels to receive truly true blessing are being prepared. After this, answers begin to come. This is our beginning, everyone. Truly try this, for once. Whether the answer I received was this big or not – that is not the problem. When you pray, if an answer comes is it Christ, and if not is it not? That’s wrong. Even if 7 billion people don’t receive answered prayers, Jesus is still the Christ. They don’t know what the answer is. These two things (spiritual state, spiritual vessel) are the answer. You must please remember this. It is the spiritual state and the vessel.

Let me give an example. If I have the ability to move 100 billion won, even if it disappears, it comes back again. If a person whose vessel is not ready suddenly gets it, problems arise because of it. No matter what difficulty comes, if I have this (spiritual state, spiritual vessel) in order, there is no problem at all. This is the true blessing, the true answer that the Bible speaks, that God speaks, that the gospel speaks. If you have this (spiritual state, spiritual vessel), this answer (Triune God, throne) keeps coming, do you understand? So in the end, what is it?

1) Me as throne (24)

What kind of answer is God fully working in me? He makes me his throne. Isn’t that everything? This is what is important. So seeing that he revives me – my 24. This year’s new year message is extremely important. You must keep thinking about it. What is the true answer?

2) Church throne

When we worship in church, when we pray, that is when the blessing of the throne comes. This is church 24.

3) Field throne (work)

Finally, because this power has been accumulated, when you go out, upon your work, upon your field, the blessing of the throne comes down upon it. Where Joseph is. Three things (me, church, field). Right?

Now, just think about this a little (Triune God → Spiritual State ← Throne 9). Especially those of you who are getting a bit older – you must completely do this. Then you will be far more powerful than young people. Why? Because you have experience.

Now, wherever David was, this blessing took place. Wherever the church leaders of Immanuel are, God sends that blessing there. This is the truth. This is the true answer. Right? You need to know the true answer. Really – wherever the Remnant of Immanuel is, God takes everything along with them. Isn’t that right?

Whether this was received a little or not at all – that is not anything important. People who haven’t received answers – it shows. Who is right or wrong – that is not particularly important either. I may be right, but ask the other person. And what I considered wrong may turn out to be right later. That cannot be known. If you are enjoying this blessing, that is not the point, that’s what I’m saying.

Let me say it again: if you now begin to receive the answers of the outpouring blessing of the throne, even if every person becomes a problem, it’s okay. Right? If you receive the blessing that comes upon your church – the blessing of the throne, the blessing of Acts chapter 2 – if you receive the Antioch answer, then even if every church member is unusual, it’s okay. It doesn’t matter at all, since I am receiving answers.

People who are unusual should come. That’s why they need to come to church – where else would they go? People who have strayed from the complete gospel, people with spiritual problems – they need to come to church, where else should they go? Right? If our church is a right church, it is correct for people with spiritual problems to flood in. Then you hold onto those people and bring healing, that’s what I’m saying. Finally, upon your work, the blessing of the throne comes. Not a single exception. It came equally upon Joseph, upon David, upon Daniel, upon Gaius, didn’t it? You must not miss this.

▣ Conclusion

This is the conclusion. Finally, what comes to pass? Jesus says:

[Matthew 5:13-16]
[Matthew 5:17-18]

He wrapped it up like this, you know? He wrapped it up like this.

1. Light

“You are the light of the world.” Jesus said so.

2. Salt

“You are the salt of the world.”

You are living in an age with refrigerators now, but when we were young there were no refrigerators. Whatever meat it was, you made it very salty. If you just eat it without salt, you die. In some cases, you could die on the spot immediately. That’s why you put in salt. “You are the salt of the world.”

If physical light never enters a house – do you know what happens? It becomes full of disease. If the electricity in your house goes out, you can’t help but be seized by darkness. Spiritually it is even greater. When this glorious Christ, the light of life, shines, the darkness flees on its own. In verses 17 and 18 he said this: “The word of the Lord will not disappear by even one jot or tittle. All of it will be fulfilled.”

3. Imprinting, rooting, constitution

This blessing, this prayer – what is the answer? It is imprinted upon you. Constitution – the work continues to unfold.

There is only one thing I do. From when I started in Busan 30 years ago to arriving here. Many people always said there were many problems. They always said it wouldn’t work. They always said it was a crisis. They always said that person wouldn’t make it. They always said this thing wouldn’t work.

I spent 30 years doing nothing but stopping that talk. Saying that’s not right. Who was right? Let’s wait and see a bit more. Do you know what will happen?

So don’t worry – this (spiritual state, spiritual vessel) is what is important. Someone suddenly got cancer, they say. It wasn’t sudden. It has been going on for a long time. It is the same spiritually. Spiritual state. All answers come according to this. “Oh, no answer is coming to me at all” – that is not so. All of this (spiritual state, spiritual vessel) is being built. That’s how the answer comes precisely. And in fact it is already coming.

And so Christ gives us salvation and continues to pour down from heaven the blessing of the Triune God – the 9 blessings of the throne – upon us. Enjoying that is prayer and worship. Then this comes out as the answer for this age. This is the beginning of it.

You must absolutely not miss it – Jesus did not speak simply. He included an enormous amount of things. So when you hear it, what happens? When you listen to all of Jesus’ words, what conclusion emerges? It is simple. When you listen to all the Pharisees’ words, it is complicated. And so they killed all their descendants. When you listen to Jesus’ words, it is simple. “Just – this kind of thing has blessing. Being persecuted for righteousness – that’s blessing. Hungering and thirsting for righteousness – that’s blessing. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. The one who, rather than condemning a wrong person as wrong, instead saves them and makes peace – that is the son of God.” What could be more important than that. These (spiritual state, spiritual vessel) kinds of things come to pass. Extraordinary things come to pass.

I am confident that this answer will surely come to pass for you this year. I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Please allow us to receive the answers that bring life through my 24, church 24, and field 24. Please lead us to make this a year of receiving completely new grace. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.
