24.~25. Jul. 2025 2025 World Remnant Leader Retreat
Theme: 『 The Start, Process, and End of the Eternal Answers 』 (Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8)
Lecture 01 『 The Bartizan of the LORD’s Throne 』
Introduction
This is Session 1 of the Leaders Retreat. You are leaders. In today’s Session 1, there is one thing you must do first. “Can I really evangelize the world?” You must confirm that and make a decision. Today we even have people who came from Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands. Is world evangelization possible from places like Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands? You need to decide on this, and there is an answer, right? Where do you find it? You must find this and take it with you. Many came from America. Is America evangelizing the world? They are not doing it, are they? In fact, they are worse off than Vanuatu. In fact, they are worse off than the Solomon Islands. Isn’t that right? Why is that? You must confirm and decide on this quickly today. Is Japan, the most advanced country in Asia, evangelizing the world? Why can’t they do it? America, Japan, Europe, Korea — these are wealthy nations. Why are there so many mentally ill people? You must confirm and decide on this quickly. Our pastors are here today too, and you really must ask this question today and make a decision. Can our church save the region? It must save it. There is no need to listen to this talk or that talk, or lies. I must save my region. You must confirm and decide on this today. Here today our Remnants are present — the young Remnants who have a future. Can I change my family line, can I save my church, can I save my region and nation? That is what I’m asking. You cannot fail to save your family line, right? But the question is whether it can be saved. The 7 Remnants confirmed this. They made the decision. World evangelization occurred. Your circumstances may be somewhat good, but I lived in very difficult circumstances. It’s hard. Our family was hard up. I went to church, and the church was also struggling. Everything was hard. We barely got by. I confirmed it. Why was this happening? I made a decision. The answer came. World evangelization began. That is what you must do. What is that?
2025 World Remnant Leaders Retreat
Session 1: The Bartizan of the Throne of the Lord – “Bartizan of Throne”
This time, leaders must take away 4 things that you must never forget for the rest of your lives, and this is the first one. “Build the bartizan of the throne of the Lord.” This is the answer. Build this. This is what Jesus said. He spoke to them for forty days about the kingdom of God — that is the bartizan of the throne. I concluded with this.
Now, we are Remnants. What happens if you don’t understand this? Two problems come. Studying becomes difficult. You can’t not do it, yet it doesn’t go your own way either, and even after studying, one day a spiritual problem comes to you. Your teacher cannot tell you what it is. When a spiritual problem comes to me, do my parents tell me? My parents are the most important people to me, but can they heal me of that? They cannot. What do I do then? I suffer my whole life. And it’s the wrong kind of suffering too. Jesus said: He spoke to them for forty days explaining about the kingdom of God, and said only when the Holy Spirit comes upon you will you receive power, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. I made my decision. Why? Without this power, my own ability is not enough. Those elders are precious people, people we must honor, but their power alone is not enough.
There is someone I know, a person close to me, who graduated from the best university in Korea. And when he was young, he passed the bar exam. When he was young — not after finishing university, not after graduating, but while he was still in university — he simply passed. He’s smart. He’s amazing. So, before he even got married, he became a judge. How capable was he? At age 31 he became a chief judge. He became a member of the National Assembly. Amazing. How much does he earn a month? Only 10 million won. He cannot evangelize the world. And he fell ill. Because he tried too hard — he’s a man of great effort — what he learned was not the bartizan of the Lord but the bartizan of effort and ability. This is the parents’ responsibility. Problems come. If from an early age no one tells me what world evangelization is, I go through life having accomplished nothing. It’s not bad to pass away — everyone does it once — but if you go without having done a single thing God wanted you to do, how regrettable would that be?
What’s even more important is that leaders and Remnants must not be deceived — inside you, another bartizan has already entered. It has entered. What bartizan? What was taught at school, what was seen at home, what was seen from friends, what was read in books — that has entered, hasn’t it? I have no spiritual power at all, I just attend church, I’m similar to an unbeliever, I’m a little worse than an unbeliever — if I were equal to them it would be fine, but I’m a little worse.
Realizing this, I came to realize what prayer is. Do you understand? What is prayer? It is moving the power of the throne. This had entered into me as a bartizan. You are not children. You are leaders. The 7 Remnants understood this when they were young. The brothers talked about food. Joseph talked about world evangelization. They were different. While others in the wilderness, in Egypt, were content just to eat and live, Moses talked about the Exodus. That’s different. So what is Session 1 about? You must know what prayer is. You must know what prayer is — if you don’t know that, what is prayer? It is building the bartizan of the Lord within me. It is having this bartizan of the throne. To engrave this into you — this truly is Heavenly, Thronely, Eternally. This bartizan is right there within me. Then studying becomes easy. Talents become easy too. Why? Because it will be discovered — from now on, what should I do — the answer comes without even needing to ask. Adults have made it so that children don’t know this part at all, so it’s hard for them. I’ll talk about this tomorrow in Session 2. Don’t worry about studying. That way of thinking is outdated. What is studying? It is discovering what God has given me. And yet, not even knowing that, you work so hard — what do you think will happen?
What is the conclusion? Without spiritual power, you cannot win, you cannot evangelize the world. What is prayer? It is enjoying the power of the throne. What is prayer? It is moving the throne. What is prayer? It is transmitting the power of the throne. That’s it. You can just stay still. Well, you don’t need to stay still — since the answer arises, you just follow it. You must know this to be a leader. Now, I must build this as a bartizan — without a bartizan, there’s no need for a watchman, is there? No — you need a hospital before you need a doctor; if there’s no hospital, where would the doctor work? Without a bartizan, there’s no need for a watchman. You are to become watchmen, so you must build the bartizan of the Lord. In your generation, it is enough just to understand. This is the advantage of being a Remnant. Older people keep hearing it but still don’t understand, but in the Remnant generation, just saying “ah, I see” is enough for the work to happen.
Introduction – Confirmation
Now, in order to enjoy this blessing, there are a few things I must first confirm.
1)Important beginning – problem, trial, conflict, crisis (mission)
First. What must you confirm? You must treat the beginning as important, right? You must make the beginning important, but you must not confirm the wrong thing, right? Then you mustn’t go down the wrong path, right? No matter how excellent you are, a wrong path is a wrong path. No matter how much your parents care for you, love you, and help you, if the path itself is going the wrong way, that path is not it. These three things are quite important — wherever you go, there are problems, right? At home, there are problems, and everywhere there are problems. Wherever you go, trials come, and there are things that test you. There is conflict everywhere you go. And sometimes crisis comes too. This is the moment. What thoughts do you have at this moment? That is who you are. That becomes your future. When these things came to the 7 Remnants, they precisely found their identity. Why? Because I have this power, I will change this. You must remember this. You must truly confirm this. My family has a problem — I am the watchman who will change my family, my family line, right?
2)The exact covenant (Genesis 37:1-11)
Whether things work out or not, you must firmly grasp the exact covenant. The exact covenant emerges. Only when you are not deceived here does the exact covenant emerge. Oh, my family can’t do it, I have no background, studying is hard for me, I’m poor, I have no ability either — right, then you fail. Without this power, nothing works. When this appeared to the 7 Remnants, they grasped their mission. At a retreat, during WRC, there are many difficult and hard things. As leaders, you must open your eyes well. Whether a person will be greatly used in the future is known when this (problem/trial/conflict/crisis) comes. Right? Whether this person will be a great figure in the future or not is known when this (problem/trial/conflict/crisis) comes. Whether this person will truly be blessed by God or not is known when this (problem/trial/conflict/crisis) comes. You must remember this your whole life. Isn’t it everywhere you go? Is there any place without problems, trials, conflict, crisis? There isn’t. A young adult in America came to counseling. He asked, is there a society without such problems, conflicts, crises? At that time, the doctor answered like this: go to the cemetery. Simply put, what does that mean? When you die, there are none. This is when you grasp the mission, and this is when the exact covenant appears to you.
So, among the 7 Remnants, since there isn’t much time, I’ll give just one example. In that difficult household, the exact covenant came upon Joseph. Don’t worry. From this point on, everything turns into an answer. He went as a slave. Was that ruin? Joseph went as a slave, right? He was falsely accused and went to prison. Was that ruin? One day he became prime minister. Was that success? None of these are it. That’s the level of one who is not yet saved. No — “a problem came to me,” “I succeeded” — apart from world evangelization that breaks the darkness, nothing counts as success.
3)The vessel – spiritual summit
This is when it happens. The vessel is prepared — though young in age, spiritually they are a president. Not a president, not a king, but spiritually a king. This is what the 7 Remnants were. You will all understand. Even without fully explaining, you must hold this in your heart. “Ah, I see!”
Main: The answer = changing the bartizan (Change)
Now the important main point comes, right? What exactly is the answer? I talked about what prayer is. This is what prayer is. Then what is the answer? It is changing the bartizan. This bartizan must be changed. It must Change. This is the answer. Things that are simply accomplished — you can just leave those be. What is true prayer? It is having the bartizan that moves the throne established within me. What is the answer? It is changing the mostly wrong bartizan. Without knowing it, this is a strategy given by Satan. It must be changed. No matter how hard you try, worldly knowledge — the scholarship that keeps people from knowing God — must be changed. Studying is done to save the world, not to follow the world. From the very beginning, you must have that resolve. You must make that decision from the start. It was so painful for me. Why do I suffer every day from illness, poverty, incompetence, unable even to evangelize — why is this happening? I changed it. From now on, you must remember this. Changing this bartizan is the answer.
Now, ①from now — when does it change? This very moment. Now! Second. ②During worship, it changes. The very important third one is what? ③It must be changed by what Jesus Christ has given. The answer will surely come.
1.Now
Now, we are Remnant leaders. Remember these three words. When do you receive the answer?
1)Every day
Every day — I begin praying the moment I open my eyes in the morning. At night, when I go to sleep, I get the answer. In between is daytime. That is when you confirm it.
(1)3 focuses – seeing this, 3 focuses, understand?
(2)3 settings – at this time, the bartizan of the throne is established within me, and what arises? A platform, a watchtower, an antenna is established. 3 settings…
(3)3 answers – now, wherever you go, you carry the answer to problems, conflicts, and crises. 3 answers — Remnants must remember this. When you open your eyes in the morning, pray for at least 5 minutes. That’s all. Before you fall asleep at night, pray for 5 minutes. Don’t you have difficulties or hard things during the day? At that time, you recover strength. But I don’t do it that way — when I open my eyes in the morning, I pray for hours.
Brain/spirit/body – Now, Remnants must revive three things. You must revive your brain. You must revive your spirit — never let this slip. You must revive your body. With what do you revive them? With prayer. Remnants, when you wake up in the morning, breathe deeply for about 5 minutes while praying. Breathe. This revives the brain. Since you are people of the Holy Spirit, the bartizan of the throne comes upon you.
2)Every hour – 3 focuses
Every hour, every hour you must focus on three things. The fulfillment of God’s word, and the actual answer to prayer. Every hour — I exercise for 5 minutes every hour. You can do this sitting in a classroom. You’re sitting in a chair, right? If you just lift your hips off the chair for about 3 minutes, that becomes tremendous exercise. No one notices. There’s an edge beside the chair, right? Put your hand there and lift your body slightly — even 2 minutes is enough to be exercise. When you breathe, your brain comes alive. Your body comes alive. As you pray, your spirit comes alive. Use this to change the bartizan. This is the answer. It cannot fail to come. You must do this. You are the elite, leaders who will save the world, so do this. What is special about this? You don’t need to set aside separate time. You don’t need to make time to exercise. You don’t need to make time to pray. Why? Because it is 24/25/eternity.
3)Every task – editing, designing, planning
In every task, edit/design/plan. Then that’s it — you don’t have to do it all at once. What is editing? It is continually watching so that God’s word is fulfilled. Watching so that the answer to prayer comes. Designing is designing so that the field comes alive. You must start doing this now. This must become a habit. This is the habit that the elite have. This is the habit of the leaders who moved the world. What should you use to edit with? In my case, I do it with books. The answer must come out through the Word. What do you use to design with? You look at the field, look at events and matters, and pray. What is planning? What is exactly needed in the field right now? It’s fine even if you can’t find the answer. You must ask that question. Leaders, you must not miss this. When do you receive the answer? Now — when does it come? No need to ask. It is bound to come. Pastors here don’t need to be told this. You must move the world with this power. Pastors, you must do this every hour when you wake up. You must fully recover your health.
2.During worship
Second. When does this answer, this bartizan, change? During worship…
1)Acts 1:3 (40 days)
Now, look. For forty days he explained the matters of the kingdom of God, and during the time of hearing that, every bartizan was completely changed.
2)Acts 2:1 (Pentecost)
Acts 2:1 — 10 days, 40 plus 10 is 50 days, right? When the day of Pentecost had fully come, this is when everything changes. Remnants don’t need to read the Bible extensively. It’s good if you do, but if you simply worship properly, that’s enough.
3)Acts 2:17-18
The future begins to be seen. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young adults shall see visions — what is this? This is the future.
4)Acts 2:42
Look at the flow of the Word. Continuing steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching, in fellowship — see this flow. In the breaking of bread — see the flow of the gospel of salvation. Continuing steadfastly in prayer — see the flow of prayer. That’s it. There’s nothing else to do. What do I really need to prepare? I’ll cover that tomorrow in Session 2. Don’t worry about it even a little. I’ll talk about it tomorrow in Session 2 — what you’ve prepared by studying and taking tests up to now is not enough; you must prepare 300%. What exactly is this 300%? I’ll talk about it tomorrow. You must be confident.
5)Acts 2:46-47
Daily in the temple, and daily at home, the Word begins to be fulfilled. The Word begins to be fulfilled even in my studies. Then you gain strength, right? You become a witness even without trying to, because the answer comes. Remnants, don’t lose strength. I am a witness. My childhood was so miserable I couldn’t even give a testimony about it. You’d think you need to reach a certain level to give a testimony, but I am a witness. This is when the bartizan is overturned.
3.What Jesus Christ has given – “777”
Finally, the third one — what is it? What has Christ given through this prayer? It is continually enjoying the 7 bartizans, the journey, and the guidepost that Christ has given within this prayer. Then three answers come.
1)Transcending time and space
Finally, transcending time and space appears. You pray here, and your family is in America, but the work happens there.
2)237 – 5,000
You must understand this — 237, 5,000 peoples are connected. I only prayed this prayer, and Remnants rose up in Australia, New Zealand, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands. More will rise up in the future, right?
3)Unprecedented and unrepeatable
No one can take it away. Unprecedented and unrepeatable — this is the answer. This is what changing the bartizan means. What is prayer? It is enjoying the bartizan of the Lord. The reason it doesn’t work is because people are deceived here. You must not be deceived.
Conclusion
This is the conclusion. Always enjoy the 5 focuses. Simply and comfortably enjoy the 5 focuses.
1)40-day focus (Acts 1:3)
When you occasionally have important work to do, try the 40-day focus that Jesus practiced. See what happens — this is something you do occasionally.
2)Worship focus (Acts 2)
Next, second is worship focus — this is Acts 2. The one above was Mt Olive, and this one is the upper room.
3)Daily focus
I mentioned this earlier. You are a summit. Daily focus — just do this.
4)Hourly focus
Hourly focus — Remnants, you can’t set exactly 1 hour or 2 hours, but pray and exercise in between. Hourly — if you don’t understand what I mean, your brain will never come alive. This must come alive so that you can save others with the power of the throne.
5)Every-task focus
Every task becomes a blessing. Focus…
Only/uniqueness/re-creation – if you do this, something important follows. What follows? Only — this follows. The “only” that belongs to you alone — who can take that away? Uniqueness, re-creation — this comes out.
You must decide again. Can I evangelize the world from one region? Wait and see. No — our nation has no power, so is world evangelization possible? Wait and see. Rather, an age of many nations is coming. An age of Africa is coming. An age of island nations is coming. It is bound to happen. Our Remnants, since you are leaders, you must never miss these 4 sessions this time. From today, do not worry about the future. Why? Because you will succeed — prepare for what comes after that. I will pray.
(Prayer)
We give thanks to God. We give praise to God who called us as leaders. Please let us build the bartizan of the throne. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
