『Answers First 』 (Acts 13:1-4)
We are now beginning a new evangelism movement.
Three Preparations
RU, General Assembly, RTS, MRTS (military/police), church, individuals
No fruit, no answer, church decline
①I mentioned this when reporting on RU. ②At the General Assembly camp, it needs to be done that way going forward. Currently, ③RTS is also doing evangelism, and it needs to be done that way too. And there is ④MRTS — that’s our organization of soldiers and police. Also, ⑤in your actual churches, evangelism movements need to be renewed, and ⑥individuals need to do the same.
So if we are going to run a proper evangelism movement, three things must be prepared at camp.
If these three things are not prepared, this situation will come.
①No fruit – The camp is held but there is no fruit afterward. Why would we hold such a camp? Most of the time, there is no fruit.
②No answer – So the congregation members cannot receive answers. If a camp is held but no answers are received, is that acceptable?
③Church decline – And in reality, the number of churches and church members decreases. We must break out of this quickly.
As an easy example, if the three biblical camp preparations are not done, what happens? You simply start a church plant. Will that work? You find a building, depending on your situation. You now have hope, or to put it nicely, you have faith, but nothing gets resolved. Later on, paying off the debt from getting that one building is already hard. Because this is what’s happening — I confirmed this with the secretaries last week — empty churches throughout all of Korea are packed full. Churches with fewer than 300 members don’t even need to build a sanctuary. They can go and buy one. People are offering them at incredibly low prices. And it’s not just one or two — there are dozens in one area. And there are buildings where they say: please just use our building, we have a conscience so we won’t sell to unbelievers, just keep using it as our church, use all the chairs as they are, use all the facilities as they are, just pay us a little each month — 1 million won, that’s it. That situation itself is absurd, but we are doing something wrong right now. And that’s what we’re going to change.
So with that clearly in mind — to give the conclusion first — RU, our Korean RU admissions this time will not accept just anyone. We will only accept those who have committed their lives to holding camps in the golden zone, blind spot, and disaster zone that will revive the church. Then the answers will come first. Right? We need to receive answers before we can do anything. We’re not running a business, so how do we survive without answers? Actually, you shouldn’t even run a business that way. If you keep doing something that isn’t working, you’ll get sick — what do you do then? We must always remember this. This is the area where you are failing the most. It’s the area where you are most capable, yet failing the most. So even the so-called smart church leaders, or the fairly capable church leaders — when I receive reports on evangelism, I laugh inside. They’re missing everything. They’ve put together something enormous. Your eyes hurt just reading it. But what is the one thing that’s needed right now? That’s exactly what’s missing. Danghiljeol is missing. The obvious/inevitable/absolute is missing. Of course it doesn’t work. That’s what we call wasted effort. Business must be done the same way. Right? Even if I’m running a small restaurant, it must be danghiljeol. If I’m just running a business to make money, what do I do when the money isn’t coming in?
So evangelism must start over.
The General Assembly camp cannot be done that way. There truly is a golden zone, blind spot, and disaster zone in a given area — there needs to be a conviction that a church must be planted there. A camp must be held to plant that church perfectly. Then God will attach disciples. That’s where the answer comes from.
Looking at what people are doing now, there’s no need for God to attach anything. They already received their answer, so what? “I tried it once” — you tried it, didn’t you? That’s the answer. “I put my name out there once” — your name got out there, didn’t you? That’s the answer. No need to receive anything more. Right? They keep using humanism to build their networks. They’ve already received all their answers. You built your network, didn’t you? That’s the answer. After that, there’s no need for answers. It’s a difficult thing to say, but once you understand it, it’s over. It’s actually very simple.
I served as an associate pastor for over ten years. Why do I need to promote myself? Why do I need to push beyond my limits? There’s no need. Just do what you’re told day to day, quietly carry out the evangelism movement, run the life-transformation movement, and there will be people who want to evangelize. Those people — it’s not a secret — they just communicate outside, at the evangelism field. This time, this must absolutely be resolved. This year is an extremely important year, and now only the people who need to evangelize have gathered. That’s good. We don’t need to badmouth the people who have parted from us. Help them, pray sincerely for them to do well. If they don’t do well, how does that help? So we want to evangelize — there’s no other reason.
RTS is the same. RTS needs to be a bit more professional. Truly, camps must begin with fields that ordinary congregation members cannot reach. The answer is to let God work. This has nothing to do with character or ability. No matter how good your character, if you’re pushing it with that good character, the good character itself becomes the problem. Right? No matter how capable you are, if you’re pushing ahead in a direction that’s misaligned with God, your capability becomes the problem. Isn’t that right? Are we not children of God? Then we look to what God is doing. Last Sunday’s sermon — “Stand still and see the salvation the Lord will accomplish for you; the Lord will fight for you” — this is the important message of crossing the Red Sea. To put it precisely, they didn’t just happen to encounter the Red Sea. God sent them there. Right? The wicked Egyptian army didn’t just come on their own. God used that wicked king, hardened his heart, and made him go. That’s what the Bible says, right? Why would that be? This is the answer. If you keep looking for the wrong answer, there is no answer. So we receive the answer first. You must quickly catch what I am explaining to you overall.
MRTS has soldiers and police packed in there. Those people have a separate seminary just for themselves. Elder Kim Ki-ho requested that since everyone is a soldier, could you make it accessible to everyone. I’m saying don’t do that. I’m saying it because I want it to go well. Right? I want it to be done well. But in reality, it cannot be done that way. MRTS — please don’t have just anyone come. That’s how it needs to go. “We’re going to do real evangelism. Come if you’re a soldier who truly wants to evangelize. Police matter. Those are the people we want. Only those people come.” If you present it that way — haven’t you ever tried sales? If you come across too much like a salesman, sales don’t happen.
Now at the church, I’m going to speak about this at the youth retreat. Your worship — just coming, gathering, going — that itself is the church, isn’t it the church’s revival and evangelism? People come and go because they want to hear the pastor’s message, people come because of the church atmosphere — isn’t that the church? If the sanctuary is a bit larger with better facilities, more people come — isn’t that how it is? You go and it’s comfortable, it’s nice, the church parking lot is large — so more people come. But that cannot be called evangelism. That’s simply the existing vessel. Someone must be planning evangelism, centered around the church pastor and the session. What I was talking about earlier — that’s evangelism. There’s a disaster zone right there, so why are you standing still? The young adults and the associate pastors need to open their eyes to this. Why are you leaving the disaster zone alone? The blind spot — you’re not going there, are you? So if there’s a golden fishing ground and you leave it a little while, it becomes a blind spot. It’s the same thing. You go to the golden fishing ground and you prevent it from working. You must let it work. You just need to catch one thing, but you keep preventing it from working. You grab hold of a message, think “this is right, I need to apply it to the congregation,” and proceed like that. You must first be a messenger so that this message is delivered with grace to the congregation. At least one or two people must come out saying “Oh, yes, that’s it!” — you cannot just do it blindly.
The reason I’m speaking so earnestly is because you are prepared evangelists — now you truly must do it. Please truly do it. Don’t rush to get a building first. I absolutely believe that should not be done. Because of that, apparently there are massive amounts of church chairs piling up at general stores. Why? Churches that own their building can just leave their chairs there, but churches that were renting have to clear out their chairs. This is the miserable reality we are facing. Aren’t there plenty of church buildings in America and Europe? They’re overflowing. If the elders were truly praying about this, their eyes would have been opened, but they’re not being opened. So in the case of Pastor Park Se-gwang — he bought a building as soon as he arrived because there was something so good available. That’s right. I remember back when an elder from New Jersey came to drive me around — he said there was nowhere to buy a church building. He said they’d been waiting for decades and nothing came up. That would be the case. You must be able to see what God has prepared.
Introduction – First, make 777 prayer a way of life
Let me stop nagging and get into it. This is the introduction. First, regardless of any answers, we must make this part (777) a way of life. To begin with, without doing anything else — with this — we simply ①establish a prayer bartizan. Regardless of whether it works or doesn’t. Regardless of when it happens. We establish a prayer bartizan. Ultimately, it’s not an individual prayer that gets answered — it’s the prayer bartizan that receives the answer. Right? Ultimately, it’s not that someone gets sick because things went wrong in a worldly sense. A bartizan capable of receiving sickness was established. That’s why it comes. Ultimately, ②we continue the journey with prayer. ③This (the prayer guidepost) is simply the basic path forward.
1) Prayer bartizan (imprint — the watchman’s absolute bartizan)
This must be imprinted. As you know, when it is imprinted, the watchman’s absolute bartizan emerges. If it hasn’t been imprinted, it cannot happen, can it? Because a bartizan is formed, even left alone, it becomes the watchman’s absolute bartizan. There are people who, every time they open their mouths, complain about others, and every time they open their mouths, speak words of unbelief — for those people, that has been imprinted and become their absolute bartizan. Their future is now in trouble.
2) Journey of prayer (root — the pilgrim’s absolute bartizan)
Simply continue this journey of prayer. As you walk it, does not what has been imprinted take root? Then it becomes not merely a watchman’s level, does it? The pilgrim’s absolute bartizan is established. God will prepare everything.
3) Prayer guidepost (constitution — the revival’s absolute bartizan)
Then as we walk by this prayer guidepost — the guidepost, this is the answer. This guidepost comes fully into my life. It must become my life, not something I just think through in my head — like running a restaurant kitchen. Life must be built around it. At this point, the revival’s absolute bartizan is established.
So Immanuel Church, or your church, or any church — they’re all already formed, so they will go according to their form. Congregation members aren’t thinking much about it. They just come to worship and leave. Someone must grab hold of the message and build a system through which the church can move toward world evangelization. So without making it too difficult, let me give just one example. “I want to start an evangelism movement at our church” — for this, you don’t even need permission. You need permission for other things, but do you ask permission to go and evangelize? When you take congregation members with you, you need permission, but for just going out to evangelize on your own, for just praying on your own — do you ask permission to pray? Do you go to the session and say, “May I pray tomorrow?” Just do it.
Now, the important thing is that this first session is the first of the three preparations.
Then in the afternoon, we will cover the second and third of the three preparations.
Main – Urgency
So the most urgent thing for congregation members is that they must receive answers first.
1. The highest promise of Christ
So there is the highest promise of Christ. Congregation members must come to recognize this. “Ah, I see!” You must come to recognize this. These are the words Jesus spoke after completing everything.
1) John 14:16
He said He would send the Holy Spirit, the Helper, to us — it is finished. That is why we pray. Everything comes from here.
2) John 14:26
He said He would send the Holy Spirit, the Helper, to us, and He would be with us forever…
3) John 16:13
He will guide us, bring things to remembrance, and cause us to remember what we have learned and understood.
4) John 20:22
In John 20:22, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” What answer do you sense here? It means to truly enjoy the Holy Spirit. Like breathing — that is being filled with the Holy Spirit. Simply thinking about being filled with the Holy Spirit is fine too, but actually I am enjoying this fullness of the Holy Spirit and prayer. Shouldn’t congregation members first come to experience this?
5) Acts 1:1
And then what? Christ finished everything.
6) Acts 1:3
From now on, what remains is the blessing of the throne coming upon us — the blessing we enjoy.
7) Acts 1:8
From this point, a 300% power of being filled with the Holy Spirit arises. From this point, world evangelization begins to happen.
Now, congregation members also miss this here. How do they miss it? They keep trying to do things their own way. There is no real urgency — if your church isn’t growing quickly, does your whole household collapse? That’s not the case, is it? You can wait a little. You truly need to wait for the Holy Spirit’s leading, but people aren’t doing this. That’s why Jesus said to wait. You have a habit. Whatever it is, you have to do it fast — the moment something comes to mind, you have to act on it immediately according to your own thinking. That is your habit. Congregation members are the same. Congregation members have it even worse. More so than you. And among all cities across the country, Seoul is the fastest. Why? Because you have to survive. Being fast is good — but this is not a call to go slowly. The answer that must naturally come will come. Wait. Enjoy it, because the answer is already there. The answer is already given — the question is when I act on it. This is the most important thing in the evangelism movement.
Our country — remarkably — has scientists developing space technology and weapons that astonish other nations, weapons that shock China, weapons that amaze Japan. Korea is fast. Isn’t that incredible? The people working on these things aren’t working with some enormous overall plan in mind. Why? They know the whole plan. The problem is today. They’ve been enjoying this today — this very crucial today. That’s truly praiseworthy, isn’t it? The people working in our country. Because we are human, we can easily start thinking about what comes later. We want to handle that too the way it is. Oh, I’ve got debts to pay, and so on — these thoughts come. You must not act because of those thoughts. And so if you’re not careful, you miss the reality in which God is working right now. This is important. Congregation members can’t do this — it’s difficult. Congregation members need to believe this. Only then will your preaching come alive and work in that person.
2. The first answer
Now, the first answer begins to follow this answer in earnest. When you start a camp, when you begin an evangelism movement or begin your life — you go in having already made a decision about this part. Three Bible passages you know well: ①Acts 13:1-4 — camp begins. ②Acts 16:6-10. ③Acts 19:1-7 — camp has begun. You must receive this answer.
1) Acts 13:1-4
What did they do? They received complete guidance from the Holy Spirit. They waited. They concentrated. Even fasting because it was so important — I’m not telling you to fast. But to that degree. And three things emerged: (1) a person, (2) a place, (3) a work — clearly revealed. Even if we fail after that, we can’t — there is simply no way to fail. The Holy Spirit clearly gave a person, a place, and a work. We must always look at this. Receiving this answer is the first element of the evangelism camp, and even as we continue, we keep looking at this and going in search of it.
2) Acts 16:6-10
At first, (1) they went and evangelized in Asia, but God was saying that this wasn’t all of it. Then (2) He closed the door. At this point people make another mistake. When the door is closed, they either fight it to the end, or they give up. People who have studied a bit fight to the end. Why? Because that’s what they were taught. People who haven’t studied as much give up because they have too many failure experiences. These days people are fighting like crazy in the National Assembly — most of them are from conservative presbyterian backgrounds. Not that it’s bad — that’s what they were taught. “You must do it until you die, you must do it even if you die” — that’s what they studied. The somewhat better ones, the clever ones, are a little less so, and those who fully committed go and do the same thing there too. They’re still doing it now, aren’t they? That cannot be done. Fighting with all your might using your own ability, or giving up — those two are the same kind. Their fundamental root is the same. Because the center is self. Right? “I can do it,” “I cannot do it” — both of those are wrong. The center is self. God can do it. That is our faith. The door was closed — but here, they find a remarkably new (3) turning point. You know this, but you’re not doing it. You must do it. So the camp date doesn’t matter. We keep holding camps until this emerges. When we come to church and hold forums, congregation members begin to receive grace. The Holy Spirit begins to work. But because we need to be specific, the first camp is held so that this part becomes visible.
3) Acts 19:1-7
And now the final important camp was held…
(1) Calvary/Mt Olive/Upper Room – In Acts 19:1-7, the three — Calvary, Mt Olive, and the Upper Room — were completely restored.
(2) Tyrannus – And then they found the very, very important Tyrannus school and entered the synagogue and the lecture hall. They entered with precise guidance — into the synagogue and the lecture hall. How well was this first camp done? Three months, then two years. Those three months were the first camp, and the two years were the second camp.
(3) Rome preparation – Here, Rome was prepared. At the end you see: “I must also see Rome!”
This preparation is what will now be done in RU, RTS, and MRTS going forward. We’ll be giving message materials and holding forums, but you need to know the whole picture so that you can think: “This year our church needs to be revived this way.” If possible, since our headquarters is accessible via internet, it would be great if you could post some questions when you hold your Tuesday gatherings. Please don’t feel embarrassed — just ask practical questions, the things you find difficult. If you post them, I find them enormously helpful when preparing messages over the course of a month.
3. (Through camp/evangelism) 300% is confirmed (obvious/inevitable/absolute)
Now, as we hold camps and do evangelism, how much answer do we receive? 300% is confirmed. We’ll do 200% in a later session. But it must be confirmed. By what is it confirmed? This is very important. What is the standard of confirmation? As I mentioned earlier, finding the obvious, inevitable, and absolute — that is the standard of 300%. It is always there. Sometimes when you pray this prayer, it can begin immediately. Right? But there is no urgency. When even one of your disciples enters a place, that entire region must be completely revived. Because of one Lydia, the church in Philippi. Because of Jason, the church in Thessalonica. These churches just burst into life like that.
1) Me
Where must the obvious, inevitable, and absolute appear? In me. In that case, you don’t need to go far — there’s so much of it in your surroundings, inside the church. You’ve become an associate pastor, and there’s a lot of errand-running to do as an associate pastor, right? So where to go for the evangelism field — this becomes a task for me. But it’s not difficult. Target new members. When you look at new members, there are two types. Most of them are just church-hopping — about 80 to 90% are just coming to church. So what should you do? You can just wait until danghiljeol becomes visible in them, but there’s nothing you can do about that. However, among them are those who are prepared. You must not miss those people. You’re missing all of them. Studying with new members — that’s necessary. But that’s just a formality. The real thing is to bring that person to life.
So at Samhwa earlier, I found two disciples. This is a disciple. God prepared it. They understood what I was saying right away. That was enough. The ministry room was fairly large, right? I sat them down right there and gave them the message. Just a few weeks later, they had brought about 30 people. The ministry room was inevitably getting a bit cramped. Right in front of the ministry room there was a prayer sanctuary that was like an open floor where you could sit — you take off your shoes and pass through it to get to the ministry room. So we said, let’s just do it in the sanctuary, and we put up a chalkboard and gave those young people clear messages on the gospel and on prayer. What would happen then? It just became unstoppable. With just those young people — setting aside everyone else — with just those young adults, there were 300 in attendance at the all-night prayer meeting. They gave their tithes exactly as the Word says. Where would you find congregation members like that? There are countless people who come to church without tithing, yet they all gave their tithes. For what was obvious, inevitable, and absolute in me — I did nothing. Because God sent the disciples, and I met them and took interest and gave them messages — that part is right, isn’t it? Right? Because they understood what I was saying, I spoke to those two sisters. “What would be the real reason you’re here, the reason you were sent here?” Looking at both of them — they had come from Jeolla Province. “Why would you have come all the way here from Jeolla Province? So your family line, the field where you are — you cannot leave that alone. That’s why He called you!” Absolute mission. It’s always danghiljeol. This isn’t difficult — it brings grace. When you encounter something like this, it brings grace.
2) Church
And work at the church doesn’t need to be made difficult either. There is danghiljeol inside the church. The church has been doing so many pointless things, elders are fighting and pushing their own agendas, the church is in complete chaos. At that time I made a suggestion to the pastor. The pastor was losing all his energy. I said, “Pastor, our church has many people of mission. I will find those people of mission.” He asked how. “Let’s do an evangelism school,” I said. Not a total mobilization — that doesn’t work. “We need an evangelism school to raise disciples.” We formally established an evangelism school. Through this, disciples and people of mission began to rise. I didn’t do anything remarkable — I just did what was natural. And these people need to know why they come to church, why they must live a life of faith, don’t they? You can give this to them through the message alone. The inevitable — it’s all been given. The mission has been given. The absolute — it emerges, doesn’t it? This is the kind of camp we start from now. When the afternoon’s second and third sessions are done, one clear answer will emerge.
3) Field
Naturally, when you go to the field — naturally, the easiest people to reach are the sick. It’s obvious, isn’t it? These people don’t argue. If you give them something helpful, they’ll come. Because they’re hurting. If you share the clear gospel with them and this person is a disciple-in-the-making, history happens. The evangelism movement continues to build momentum.
You must now set this as the first standard for camp. It’s not about the first day. This is the first priority — the day doesn’t matter. It may happen quickly or it may happen slowly. That doesn’t matter. When Paul went to a certain region, he spent 3 weeks, each week, three months, two years — that’s how it was. If this doesn’t emerge, frankly speaking, absolutely do not move. Meaning, don’t do something else. Churches keep doing other things, confusing their congregation members. So there are some churches that need to be doing all kinds of miscellaneous things just to get people in. That is unconditionally a house built on sand. Right? When a problem comes one day, there is no Christ. No gospel. When the pastor faces a crisis one day, there is no gospel in front of the pastor. Only calculations. “If it goes this way for us, what happens?” Covenant is not calculation. It is relationship. Now you must be the ones God works through, and you must do well. Then it will work out. There’s nothing special you need to do well. When you go to church, just be thankful for everything, just be good to everyone. But our work is separate, so even doing it with one person is enough.
So I want to say this to our associate pastors. Don’t plant a church, don’t try to go to someone else’s church — actually go evangelize and build the church out of that. If there’s someone like that, I’m willing to support them. Go do it, truly do it. Why? Because Paul dug into exactly those places. Golden fishing ground, blind spot, disaster zone. That’s why wherever he went, things just came alive. Answers came. You must never miss this. Only you can do it. Others cannot. If someone doesn’t even know what the gospel is, how can they do it? You can even teach this to a Buddhist organization. Why? Because they don’t have the Holy Spirit, so they cannot do it.
♠Conclusion: What goal, what conclusion to set
So while receiving the answer in advance, what do we do while keeping what goal in mind, or what conclusion do we come to? This kind of situation has now emerged. After holding about two or three camps, God’s answer comes, and at that point it is one of three things.
1) The five foundations (upper room)
Will you run an upper room that moves the five foundations?
2) Evangelism branch church
Or will you run an evangelism branch church? “Evangelism branch church” — that’s a very important phrase. Don’t spend money buying a building either. It’s an evangelism branch church. On Sundays, self-supporting smaller churches or your church should be allowed to worship there — don’t gather on Sunday yourself. Will you run a branch church that does only evangelism? This is what’s being decided now. Looking at the situation, sometimes a lot goes into this side. Will you run a mission home? That’s included in this, so you decide. Will you do healing ministry? You must only gather disciples. You must prevent too many people from coming. Running it as an evangelism branch church — this is where people approach with more genuine sincerity.
For RU this time as well, we asked them to only recruit 50 leaders who would truly evangelize, and the word “50” scared people into thinking that was too many — too many applied. So we’re in a bit of a dilemma. Do we only take 50, or take everyone? That’s not the point. We said only those who are prepared should come. Don’t they need to receive answers? Right? So those of you who are church leaders of self-supporting smaller churches — please join forces and help. Pastors need travel expenses to evangelize — that’s the bare minimum. Truly do this properly. Unless you form a team that creates evangelism branch churches to serve and support self-supporting smaller churches, this won’t be resolved. It’s not that pastors lack the energy to do it. It’s not that they lack covenant. It’s because this foundation is too weak that they cannot stand. You need to make it possible for them to stand. So you must continue creating a team that has the mission and can truly and eternally support that church and that pastor. That is the only way. For example, if a genuinely business-minded person emerges, don’t keep trying to coax them to come with you — plant in them: “You — revive this self-supporting church.” Right? You meet a remarkably talented person — it will flash through your mind immediately. “I need to bring them to our church, bring them to Immanuel Church” — that’s wrong. Why, when a disciple has emerged through evangelism in that region, should we not be the ones to revive that region? That’s why we keep operating like merchants, and it has nothing to do with how the Holy Spirit works.
3) Church plant
Finally, this must be considered. Will you plant a church? It is one of these three. Then where should the General Assembly mainly focus? Here — on church planting. Right? When a proper branch church is solidly established, at least 12 or more disciples must emerge. Why? Because even Jesus established 12. We are less capable, so it needs to be 13 or more. Why? Including Paul, that’s 13. So start from there. Without any preparation — just saying “I believe” and beginning — what are you believing? “I believe” and you start, and what then? Church leaders must mainly be doing this. The evangelism branch church — I’m an elder running a hospital, and I quietly look at this, and it’s a place that only draws out disciples for this age. Isn’t it going to be blessed? No need to even say it. And now, whether to send someone out quickly in a big way — if the situation is not like that, then in that case, you must set your standard according to one of these three.
Then there are also three references you should keep in mind.
Our pastors, ministry workers, and church leaders — if they’re not careful, small reasons become connected to larger things. Small reasons — it’s nothing really — but looking at it, they keep doing, how do I say it, things that just don’t work, to a degree that’s hard to even put into words. For example, there’s a remarkable person. But this remarkable person — rather than coming to our church, it would be better for them to go to Ulsan. In that case, you must push them toward that. That’s what needs to happen. But instead it becomes: only here, nothing else. That’s where you miss all the real things. You miss God’s answer. Coming and going is no longer the issue. You must be careful of this, and our church leaders must be careful too. “I will dedicate myself so that our pastor can achieve world evangelization” — that’s what it should be. Don’t do anything else.
The further reference is ordinary congregation members. Ordinary congregation members — you can’t say this to them directly, but though they seem like nothing, they’re all carrying their wounds and difficulties. So you must give them one answer that lets them transcend it. They can’t do it. Even so, you must give them the right answer. You need to tell them. You can’t just say “you need to evangelize” — they won’t understand. “You’re out here earning money to send back home — you came from somewhere in Jeolla Province, Imsil was it, I’m not entirely sure, but you came from there.” “You have to send living expenses there, don’t you?” Yes. “You didn’t get to go to school much, did you?” Yes. Back in those days, that was the reality. “That’s right, how hard it must be for those there. They’re all going through what you’re going through.” Right there, give them the mission. Because of that, “you need to run an evangelism movement there, an evangelism movement that saves those people, you need to run an evangelism movement that revives your family line.” This completely transforms a person. It makes them transcend. After that, finally — there are those with enormous spiritual problems. There are those like this. Going all the way back to their ancestors — idol worship — and then a child is born and the child’s mind is abnormal. What do you do about this? There are many like this. The child grows a little and has physical disabilities, some intellectual impairment. How worrying is this? There are many. What do you do at this point? You must truly plant a clear mission in them. That person’s faith, their track record — none of that matters. You must plant a clear mission. Why? Because it is without fail. You must do exactly this. This is the first preparation of camp. In the afternoon we will look at the second and third. Even right now in this moment, you must believe that this answer is coming to you.
This is the true conclusion. Always remember. What is happening right now? You must not miss this. What might God be doing right now? We must look at the Bible. What will happen on Sunday? There’s no need to even ask. What happened in the Upper Room of Mark’s home — that’s what happens. Don’t miss that.
What is happening right now? The movement of the city of Dothan, the Mizpah movement that God carried out in age after age — that is happening right now. Right now, through you, the Romans 16 answers for those who will accomplish world evangelization are coming. Enjoy it. Let us pray.
Prayer. We give thanks and praise to God. We thank God for raising up evangelists who can evangelize in this age. Now, please truly allow the church to be revived, allow congregation members to receive answers, and let there be a work of revival that saves completely broken disaster zones. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
