The Works That Arose Following the Feasts

2025.11.23 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-18


▣ Introduction
1. Restore prayer – Reviving the soul, body, and brain
Jesus taught prayer together with the gospel before He left. Because your soul is collapsing, your body is collapsing, and our brain is collapsing, He taught the prayer that revives that. You must absolutely restore this.

1) Bartizan (the beginning of answers to prayer) – Thoughts and prayers are imprinted in the soul and the throne and become a bartizan inside me.
When this prayer takes place, a bartizan is formed inside me. That is the beginning of answers to prayer. The reason I keep telling you not to fall into unbelief is that unbelief becomes my bartizan. So what becomes imprinted in the brain never disappears. There is someone I know who was arrested for doing drugs and stayed in prison for a long time. After he came out, the drugs were out of his body, but because they were imprinted in his brain, he could not overcome it. Right now your thoughts and prayers are imprinted in your soul. They are also imprinted in the throne. This becomes a bartizan.

2) Journey – From that time, the path becomes visible.
When it becomes a bartizan, from that time the path becomes visible. That is what we call the journey.

3) Guidepost – The answers Jesus promised come. Evangelism and missions become visible.
Then even such difficult evangelism becomes visible. From that time, the answers Jesus promised begin to come. World missions becomes visible. That is what we call the guidepost.

2. This answer came upon Mark’s upper room – Because they were about to walk a difficult path, they needed this power.
This answer came upon Mark’s upper room. Why is that? Because they were about to walk a difficult path, they needed this power.

1) To overcome the world, a different power is needed – Jesus’ forty days of request
Nothing else is needed. Your children must go into a difficult world. That is why they need this strength. No matter how much you study and strive, to overcome the world a different power is needed. Jesus earnestly asked for this for forty days. That covenant has been fulfilled in today’s passage.

2) The early church facing its greatest crisis – Condemned as heresy, evangelism forbidden, cut off from society, imprisonment, execution
Now, what is it that you must know at this time? The early church is now facing its greatest crisis. The state condemned the early church as a heresy. At that time, it was an era of a totalitarian dictatorship state, so once the state made a law, no one could stop it. And they banned evangelism. Even that might be tolerable, but then they cut them off from society altogether. What would you do if you were in that situation? If you share the gospel, if you evangelize, they imprison you by law. And if you keep doing it, they execute you. What would happen then? It is a crisis.

3) A world where what is wrong is rampant – Do not be deceived.
It is a world where what is wrong runs rampant.

(1) Rome – Conquering the world, making nations into colonies, buying and selling people as slaves
Rome conquered the world, made nations into colonies, and bought and sold people as slaves. That is wrong. That is the world where such things run rampant. First of all. That is why people are deceived. We can easily all be deceived. While that is what is rampant.

(2) The theories of the Jews – The idea that you receive salvation by keeping the law, their messiah concept, their chosen-people concept
The theories of the Jews are wrong, but they dominate. “You do not receive salvation by faith; you receive salvation only if you keep all the laws.” That is the theory of the Jews. It may sound good, but it is impossible. “The Lord is not the God of other nations; He is the God of our nation.” That is wrong. “Christ is not the Messiah who will save the world; He is the Messiah who will deliver our nation. Therefore, we are the chosen people, and you are Gentiles.” That is wrong. But that is what is prevailing. People now begin to hold on to what is wrong.

(3) Giving up and running away
And it does not end there. They give up and run away. Jesus healed people with incurable diseases, but when Jesus was executed on the cross, should not at least one person have appeared? They all ran away. He performed miracles and even saved those who were about to starve to death. Yet everyone ran away. About one hundred twenty people remained, right? He had saved tens of thousands, but they all ran away.

3. He gave an unimaginable promise on Mt Olive, and that word has been fulfilled (Acts 1:8).
But God gave them an unimaginable promise. That is what you must hold on to today. Especially, He promised what kind of blessing the church leaders and remnants must receive. The promise Jesus gave on Mt Olive has been fulfilled. Three things. The word that “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth” has been fulfilled.

▣ Main Message_ The fulfillment of Acts 1:8
When you face a great crisis, what must you do? You will face it. You must work in this crisis-filled world, so what must you do? You ought to lead the world, but instead you are being dragged along by it. What must you do? It is three things. Jesus Himself promised them. “If you receive only the filling of the Holy Spirit, you will receive power. You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” He clearly said so. That has been fulfilled.

1. When the Holy Spirit comes on you (the filling of the Holy Spirit) – Spiritual summit (spiritual king)
“When you receive only the filling of the Holy Spirit.” He said, “When the Holy Spirit comes on you,” but to be exact, He was saying, “Just as John baptized with water, immersing people in water, you also will receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.” What is the very first blessing you must receive to live in this world? It is the spiritual summit. God has called you as spiritual kings. Summit means king. The Bible says He has called you as spiritual kings. You must believe this.

1) A royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9) – Because we must proclaim the light (churches closing, spiritual problems, mental illness)
Peter said, “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood.” Why? Because you must proclaim this light. You must believe this. Otherwise, you will never be able to lead the world. The door of evangelism and world missions will never open before you. The churches of the world are closing their doors right now. It is urgent. At least our church must do the evangelism movement. Spiritual problems and mental illnesses have doubled. It is a big problem. Almost forty-four percent of school children are now taking medication for mental illness. The problem is that the church has absolutely no interest in this. What are they interested in? What do they care about? That is the important question. How will you overcome this crisis? Do not be shaken; become the spiritual summit. Receive the filling of the Holy Spirit.

2) A work that no person can stop – A wind-like and fire-like work (Acts 2:1–4)
Then today, a wind-like and fire-like work took place. What does that mean? It means that a wind-like and fire-like work took place that no person could stop. When a typhoon warning is issued, you must be careful. You cannot defeat a typhoon. Right?

3) The power by which God changes us – “They have had too much new wine” (Acts 2:13)
Others saw this and misunderstood. “They must be drunk on new wine.” I cannot do it, and you cannot do it, but God has revealed the power that changes us. That is the spiritual king. You must believe this word. This is what Jesus said. He completely changed me. God changed me, who was so powerless and poor, into an evangelist. You do not need to wait for some experience. You must believe. The seven remnants received exactly this blessing. They stood before kings and testified. They were spiritual kings above the kings. How great is God’s blessing? He has called you as spiritual kings, so go as the spiritual summit.

2. Go to the ends of the earth – Function summit (king of the field) – Preparing myself, the field, and the future (300%)
The second is what? You must believe. “Go to the ends of the earth.” What does that mean? He has called you as kings in the field. That is what we call the function summit. This is how you win. That is why we speak of 300%, preparing yourself, your field, and your future.

1) People from fifteen nations who would evangelize the world – He called them as summits and made their work into summits (Acts 2:9–11).
In today’s passage we read that there were people from about fifteen nations. These are the people who would evangelize the world. God has called them as summits. From this time on, God has made your work, your work field, and your studies into summits. Carry out world evangelization.

※ When you believe, a bartizan is formed.
Because almost no one believes. When you believe, a bartizan is formed. God has called you as spiritual kings. God has called you as kings who save the field. That is the summit. You must believe this.

As I said before, in the past the most difficult thing for me was evangelism. It was difficult because of my personality and my nature. I was someone who could not and did not know how to evangelize at all. The churches had no power. They did not know what they were living for, and our churches were so poor and powerless. One day I realized, “God is the Creator. Then why must we be so poor that we cannot do anything? God is the Almighty. And we have received the right to call that God ‘Father.’ Then why can we not evangelize?” From that time on, I prepared. I became prepared 300%.

※ The filling of the Holy Spirit is 300%
What is the filling of the Holy Spirit? It is preparing 300%. Whatever crisis you face, you must absolutely hold on to this covenant.

2) The power to see the future – Children (prophecy), young people (visions), old people (dreams) (Acts 2:17–18)
And what else does He say? “Your sons and daughters will prophesy.” When you hold this covenant today, “your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” What is that? He grants the power to see the future. This is the function summit. God has first called you as spiritual summits. You must not lose this. Even a young Remnant, although young in age, can be a king spiritually. They must serve their parents, but even in the family they can become kings of prayer. They all received that answer. Then the function summit has no choice but to follow.

3) The word God gave to Joel is now being fulfilled (Acts 2:14–21)
At this time, Peter said this: “We are not drunk on new wine. What you see is what God spoke to the prophet Joel being fulfilled now.” That is right. If you have just these two things, there is nothing to fear.

3. You will be My witnesses – Culture summit (king who overcomes darkness and saves the world)
Finally, what did He say? “You will be My witnesses.” What does that mean? You will be kings who change the world, simply put, kings who overcome darkness. That is the culture summit. He has called you in that way. Today, you must not lose hold of this. It is true that this word seems too great and impossible to bear, but He has called you as kings. Does that feel real to you? God has called you as spiritual kings who can overcome and save the world. That is the spiritual summit.

※ Joseph, who went as the spiritual summit and held the covenant of “world evangelization,” and Elisha, who asked for a double portion of the spirit – When even one person receives the answer, no matter how deep the darkness, they will win.
The seven remnants realized this quickly. Even though Joseph’s brothers were very smart, what they knew had nothing to do with this. That is why they complained, “Why are you treating Joseph so well? We feel offended.” That is the state of ninety-nine percent of church members. Right? “Why are you showing favoritism?” That is how they always lived. The brothers lived that way. Joseph went as the spiritual summit and held on to the covenant of world evangelization. He went out after already having obtained the answer.

Pastors must remember this. Ninety-nine percent are interested in Gilgal, interested in Jericho, and interested in Bethel. Elisha was not like that. “Let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” Simply put, “Let me first become the spiritual summit.” Then life is revived. Even if there is thick darkness, if just one of you receives the answer, you will win. You must believe this now.

1) Three thousand disciples (Acts 2:41)
So “You will be My witnesses” means “You will become the culture summit.” What happened? Three thousand disciples arose, even though they tried to stop them.

2) The Word came alive and worked, the preciousness of the church members, the importance of the servants of the Lord and of prayer (Acts 2:42)
And what else? The Word came alive and began to work. “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship.” What does that mean? They realized how important the church members are. “To fellowship.” Only those who have truly received salvation can do this. Then they will never speak carelessly about church members. Right? Because they are the people God has called, how can I speak carelessly about them? They laugh at people with spiritual problems. Why do they laugh at them when that person is God’s person? We carelessly condemn others. Those who have received salvation cannot do that. “To fellowship,” it says. “This person is so precious.” Right? A pastor who has truly received salvation regards every church leader, church member, and Remnant as extremely precious. Right? They are people who have received salvation. “They broke bread.” That means they had the Lord’s Supper. “They broke bread.” Those who have truly received salvation know that the important thing is not the pastor himself, but the pastors and the servants of the Lord who preach the Word. That is what it means. “Prayer is important.” “They devoted themselves to prayer.” Today, the kind of prayer that works as a living power must arise among you.

Take these three with you. Truly receive the blessing of being like spiritual kings, become the spiritual summit, and save people. They will live. Become the king of the field, the function summit that saves the field. You must save those who are trapped in darkness. Then become the culture summit. This is what Jesus said.

3) The economy of light – Offerings (Acts 2:43–45)
From that time on, they began to give offerings, and although we did not read the rest of chapter 2, this is the economy of light. The offerings you give are the economy of light. You must remember this. Only those who know how to give offerings with importance can receive the blessing of economy. It is always so.

When I was an assistant pastor, I went around, ate out, and even went on outings. Since I was an assistant pastor with no money, I thought, “Well, I’m an assistant pastor and I don’t have money, so I don’t really need to give many offerings.” One day I realized, “No. My praising God, my prayer to God, and my offerings to God are extremely important.” From the day I realized that, what began to happen? Everywhere our teams went, the blessing of economy began to come. Just from realizing that one thing. In Mark’s upper room in Acts chapter 2 verses 43–45, it says that they gave offerings. Some people even gave all their possessions. That became the economy of light. The offerings you give are the economy of light. You must bear this in mind. It is extremely precious.

4) The power to save the world – Every day in the temple and in their homes (Acts 2:46–47)
Finally, what happens? They gain the power to save the world. “Every day in the temple and every day in their homes.” Today you must firmly hold on to this answer.

▣ Conclusion_ Ambassador of Christ
He said that you will be witnesses. Witnesses of what? Ambassadors of Christ. You testify of that.

1. Because they did not know the value of the gospel, the Jews, Macedonia, and Rome looked down on them, but the testimony arose all the way to Rome (the platform for world evangelization).
The testimony arose all the way to Rome. Everyone looked down on those in Mark’s upper room. The Jews looked down on them. The people of Macedonia looked down on them. Rome looked down on them. They could not help it, because their eyes could not see anything else. Not knowing the value of the gospel, they indiscriminately oppressed them. They killed and oppressed Christians to the point of misery. Ten emperors did that for two hundred fifty years. Why did God allow that? By that, He made all the platforms for world evangelization. No one can stop it. God has called you as spiritual summits so that you can shine the light in a place of darkness. He has called you as kings in the spiritual, functional, and cultural realms.

2. Not knowing that He has called us as a royal priesthood to proclaim the light in the darkness is the greatest sin.
If a king keeps doing shameful things, there is no worse king than that. He has called you as kings. God has called you as kings who save kings. A royal priesthood. Not knowing this is the greatest sin. You must repent of that. Right? If a child constantly doubts the parents and says, “Is that really my father? Maybe that is not my mother,” that child must be sent to a mental hospital. Right? That is a terrible illness. God clearly spoke to you. Because you must proclaim this light, He has called you as a royal priesthood. Right? He has called you as a royal priesthood, a chosen people, a holy nation. Why? Because you must proclaim the light in the darkness. You have never seen true darkness.

Right now, Remnants must be cautious when they go abroad. The recent incidents of that kind are nothing special there. People are being arrested and there is chaos everywhere. It is happening in so many places. How deep is the darkness? The police in those countries do not do anything. They do not. If your children get caught in the wrong place just once, do you know what some people do? They capture kids and lock them up. For what? If someone captured and locked up your child, what would happen? Why do they lock them up? To sell their organs. It is shocking. The church has been made worthless. Europe, America, everywhere. It is darkness. To shine the light there, because He needs only the light, He has called you as a royal priesthood. If you lose hold of this, you have lost everything. You must find it again.

3. Suffering – God’s special timetable (Joseph’s life as a slave, Moses’ years in Midian, Elijah’s fleeing)
What appears to be great suffering was actually God’s special timetable. The time Joseph suffered in Egypt was God’s special time. The forty years Moses waited in Midian with no visible answer was the most important time. The time Elijah fled, exhausted and in hiding, was the most important time.

※ Completion of worship – Hold on to the Word and imprint it through prayer, confirm what you will put into practice, confirm to whom you will relay this Word.
So today, whenever you hold on to the Word, you must imprint the answer you must receive. Then today, as you deeply pray, you must confirm what actual things you must do in order to enjoy this answer. And you must confirm who needs this Word and the answer you received today. When it goes that far, you have completed today’s worship. Just coming to the sanctuary, sitting, killing time, and dozing off before going home — that is something else. In worship, God’s Word must come to you. And you must pray. Imprint. Then even if you forget everything else, it is fine — imprint. You must at least pray briefly. “What actual, realistic answer will I seek out? Then what must I put into practice?” You must confirm that today. “To whom will I relay this Word?”

When I received this grace, one day I really called my friend. He did not believe. Then I remembered. “He and I were so close. We got along with everything, but he does not believe in Jesus.” That was a shocking realization. I had that thought, and then I was startled. I went to Daegu for a conference. It turned out that a very close friend of mine was living in Daegu. Because he did not believe, we had parted ways. An elder came and asked, “Pastor, do you know so-and-so?” I said, “Of course. He was my closest friend.” The elder said, “He is now living there after serving as the labor union leader at a factory in Ulsan. But he is ill right now. When I mentioned you, he said he knew you very well.” So after the Daegu conference ended, on Saturday, I went to visit him. Strangely, the day before that I had been thinking, “To whom shall I relay this gospel?” Our young adults listened to this message and called one of their relatives. When the relative answered the phone, he asked, “Why did you call?” He said that his relative then began to weep over the phone and pour out his story. We are missing some very important lines, important paths.

※ He has called you as spiritual summits, function summits, and culture summits who block the crisis. Do not be deceived. Prayer can heal your body, soul, thoughts, heart, and brain.
God has called you as spiritual summits, function summits, and culture summits who block the crisis. Do not be deceived. Prayer can heal your body. Prayer can heal your soul. It is certain. Prayer can heal the most fundamental part — your thoughts, your heart, and your brain. Today, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that you will absolutely enjoy this blessing. I will pray.

Prayer. God, let us receive a new grace today. Let us enjoy the living work of the Word being fulfilled. Let us receive the true strength that You give so that we can save the world. Our Remnants must study diligently. But grant them the strength to overcome the world. All our church leaders are doing important work. Grant them the strength to save the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick 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.

Scripture Reading
Acts 2:1-18
Pastor Francis

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”

14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 “‘In the last days, God says,
    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
    your young men will see visions,
    your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
    and they will prophesy.

The Works That Arose Following the Feasts

Full Transcript

▣ Introduction
1. Restore prayer – Reviving the soul, body, and brain
1) Bartizan (the beginning of answers to prayer) – Thoughts and prayers are imprinted in the soul and the throne and become a bartizan inside me.
2) Journey – From that time, the path becomes visible.
3) Guidepost – The answers Jesus promised come. Evangelism and world missions become visible.

2. This answer came upon Mark’s upper room – Because they were about to walk a difficult path, they needed this power.
1) To overcome the world, a different power is needed – Jesus’ forty days of request.
2) The early church faced its greatest crisis – Condemned as heresy, evangelism forbidden, cut off from society, imprisonment, execution.
3) Do not be deceived by a world where what is wrong is rampant.
(1) Rome – Rome that conquered the world, made nations into colonies, and bought and sold people as slaves.
(2) The theories of the Jews – The idea that you receive salvation by keeping the law, their messiah concept, and their chosen-people concept.
(3) People who give up and run away.

3. He gave an unimaginable promise on Mt Olive, and that word has been fulfilled (Acts 1:8).

▣ Main: The fulfillment of Acts 1:8
1. When the Holy Spirit comes on you (the filling of the Holy Spirit) – Spiritual summit (spiritual king)
1) A royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9) – Because we must proclaim the light in the darkness.
2) A work that no person can stop – “A wind-like and fire-like work” (Acts 2:1–4).
3) The power by which God changes us – To the point that they misunderstood and said, “They have had too much new wine” (Acts 2:13).

2. Go to the ends of the earth – Function summit (king of the field) – Preparing myself, the field, and the future (300%).
1) People from fifteen nations who would evangelize the world – He called them as summits and made their work into summits (Acts 2:9–11).
2) The power to see the future – Children (prophecy), young people (visions), and old people (dreams) (Acts 2:17–18).
3) The word God gave to Joel is now being fulfilled (Acts 2:14–21).
▷ When you believe, a bartizan is formed. The filling of the Holy Spirit is 300%.

3. You will be My witnesses – Culture summit (king who overcomes darkness and saves the world).
1) Three thousand disciples arose (Acts 2:41).
2) The Word came alive and worked. They came to know the preciousness of the church members, the importance of the servants of the Lord, and of prayer (Acts 2:42).
3) The economy of light – Offerings (Acts 2:43–45).
4) The power to save the world – “Every day in the temple and every day in their homes” (Acts 2:46–47).
▷ Joseph, who went as the spiritual summit and held the covenant of “world evangelization,” and Elisha, who asked for a double portion of the spirit – When even one person receives the answer, no matter how deep the darkness, they will win.

▣ Conclusion: Ambassador of Christ
1. Because they did not know the value of the gospel, the Jews, Macedonia, and Rome looked down on them, but the testimony arose all the way to Rome (He prepared every platform for world evangelization).
2. Not knowing that He has called us as a royal priesthood to proclaim the light in the darkness is the greatest sin.
3. Suffering – God’s special timetable (Joseph’s life as a slave, Moses’ years in Midian, Elijah’s fleeing in hiding).
▷ Completion of worship – Hold on to the Word and imprint it through prayer. Confirm what you will put into practice. Confirm to whom you will relay this Word.
God has called you as spiritual summits, function summits, and culture summits who block the crisis. Do not be deceived. Prayer can heal your body, your soul, your thoughts, your heart, and your brain.

Even though I am very weak
God is perfect, God is complete
And though time and again I may fall
He will raise me up again

We’re the people of His Covenant

In every step we take

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;

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

World Evangelization Experienced at Mark’s Upper Room

2025.11.22 Scattered Disciples
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237 Nations and the 5000 Tribes (47)
– Model 41 of 7∙7∙7 –


▣ Introduction
Our pastors must absolutely build the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost. The standard was explained earlier during the lecturer session. The standard of the absolute bartizan is the person. We spoke about what kind of person. The standard of the absolute journey is healing. The standard of the absolute guidepost is the fulfillment of the Word concerning eternity.
And our church leaders, congregation members must make today 300%.
Our remnants must make the future 300%. How can they do that? Nothing else is needed. Only this must be done: Only, uniqueness, re-creation. Do only this. If you do everything else well but as a remnant you do not make the future 300%, then you will have to live suffering greatly.
If you do everything else but church leaders do not make what you are doing today 300%, then it becomes difficult to actually devote yourselves.
If the church does not experience 300% revival, then your region and world evangelization are impossible.
Nothing else is important. Leave it alone. We have many useless worries. Just leave them. What about things that are wrong? They will be corrected. God will correct them. You do not need to worry about that.
That is why Jesus said “only” at the end. The final word of Jesus was “only.”
And especially today, many young adults who have a future as evangelists are arising. In your neighborhood, take hold of the seventy regions. For missions, take hold of the twelve world district churches.

Now then, if remnants are going to do this, what must they begin with?

「Restoring the Root」 – Gospel? (Salvation), Prayer (7·7·7), Method (daily, every hour, in everything)
You must restore the root. Remnants are at their final opportunity.
You must prepare for the future 300%, and to do that, what is the gospel? The gospel is that God saves us and overturns all destinies. This is the gospel. He saved us and fulfilled everything. Simply put: nothing more is needed. Then you are understanding and enjoying the gospel. Everything is contained in this.
Then you only need to know one more thing: what is prayer? Prayer is the bartizan, journey, and guidepost that Christ taught last. This is the 7·7·7 prayer.
And what is the method of prayer? Remnants must remember this. Now this becomes important. Remnants only need to take a little time. Daily, take even a small summit time.
And especially when you go to the field, difficulties arise, conflicts arise, right? There are times when things become hard. At those times, you find the answer. Even if you cannot find it, just do not be deceived. This is called “every hour.” At this very hour, receiving the answer and realizing—this is every hour. When his brothers tormented him, he began to pray. Every hour.
Your goal is 300%, so “in everything.”
If you do this, remnants prepare the fundamental things.

▣ Main Point
Now then, holding onto this, you prepare four things today.

1. My studies 300%
This is the first. This month’s content is important. How do you make my studies 300%? The remnant must do this.

1. Talents – 100%
You must first discover your talents 100%. How do you find your talents 100%?

1) The Word
First, when you read books and study—while doing that—you must absolutely find the Word of God and have it realized. If you do only this, your talent becomes visible.

2) Christ
And you study many great figures, heroes, and people. If you study only that, it will become a disaster. You must arrive at the answer in Christ. This is extremely important.

3) The three feasts
And you must always realize something: salvation, power, and the throne. These are the three feasts. You constantly enjoy this. Jews kept the feasts only; we enjoy them always. Then your talent becomes clearly visible. But all this was lost. Talents come from above, but because you do not look to what is above, you barely realize and often misunderstand.
Remnants, if you hold even a little bit of this (the title), it becomes visible.

2. Field-centeredness 100%
Now, when your talent appears, what must you do? Along with expertise, you must become completely field-centered 100%. Most do not do this. Remnants must do it. What is it?

1) Worship
Holding onto this, you dig in with earnest prayer. Worship.

2) Prayer
Then prayer taking place in your life. No one sees it. Right now someone may be just sitting, and someone may be sitting while praying. That is a world of difference. When you pray, your brain comes alive. When you pray, your spirit comes alive. And combined, your body also comes alive.

3. Future-centeredness 100%
Then what? You must make the future 100%. This is what remnants must do. What is it?

1) Only
While praying, “only” becomes visible. Then it is done. With this, it is essentially finished.

2) Uniqueness
Then when you go out into the world, you do not go out normally. You go with uniqueness.

3) Re-creation
Then finally the door to world evangelization opens for you. Re-creation.
This is the 300% studies that remnants create.

2. Evangelism mission 300%
Now then, you must do evangelism and missions, right? What is 300% evangelism and mission?

1. Acts 17:1–9 (Golden field) (The perfection of Christ)
The synagogue in Thessalonica. The school you are in is a golden field.

2. Acts 18:4 (Blind spot) (Perfection of worship + prayer)
The synagogue in Corinth. This is now a great blind spot.

3. Acts 19:8 (Disaster zone) (Perfection of answers)
The synagogue on the way to Rome. It had already become a disaster zone.
Remnants only need to know this. No need to talk. If you hold this, you will see.
In Acts 17:1–9 (golden field), enjoy the perfection of Christ.
In Acts 18:4 (blind spot), enjoy the perfection of worship and prayer. Then the person you must evangelize becomes visible. Then you do it.
In Acts 19:8 (disaster zone), there is the perfection of answers: the throne, the kingdom, the background. Hold onto this.
The opening of missionary doors and going—that is another matter. Even after going, the doors open this way. Then you see those with spiritual problems. Help them. You see the demon-possessed. Help them with the Word. In the future, demon-possessed people will increase greatly, so the remnant age is coming.
This is the evangelism mission.

3. Mission mission 300%
Then finally, the mission mission remains for you 300%. What is this?

1. RT
Remnants are hidden everywhere.

2. TCK
TCK, hidden everywhere.

3. CCK, NCK
CCK—those who have never heard the gospel and heard the opposite. The “C” means “cross”—the opposite side. Remnants in cultures that have never heard the gospel. Seeing them is the mission mission 300%. Not difficult at all.
When I came to this church, I saw that multiethnic members had become church leaders. That means you have already stepped into 300%. If you make these people like this (the Main Point), works continue to happen.

4. Footprints – Masterpiece 300%
And finally, the footprints that remnants must leave throughout their life—the things you must leave behind. Since you pass by them, they are called footprints, but essentially these are the masterpieces you must create 300%. Just do this.

1. The age of the three courtyards
You will be the main figures of the three courtyards. Study only to this level.

2. The three-day weekend age
And ahead is the age of mental illness. You must become the main figures. The three-day weekend age. Today’s meeting and tomorrow’s are very important.
Soon, mental illness will reach nearly 50% and later rise even more. So remnants must be careful going out at night. Be even more careful abroad. The mentally ill fill the streets. Thus, the three-day weekend age.
Mental illness is a disease of the brain. For the brain to revive—adults too—you must breathe less than six times per minute. One inhale and exhale takes ten seconds. How do you count? Just breathe in slowly, breathe out slowly, while praying—it takes exactly ten seconds.

3. Holy meditation age
And what do remnants become? The main figures of what transforms the world—the age of holy meditation, referring to the prayer I just explained.
Holy meditation changes your brain. Holy meditation changes your spirit. Holy meditation changes your body. You can do world evangelization.
Many things are important for remnants, but today’s content must always remain in your heart. I say again: do not worry about studies. Do this. If you do not know what to do in the future, if you do not know the talent God gave you, and you simply study hard—yes, it is preparation, but how much loss is that? Make all these things 300%. Then it is enough.

▣ Conclusion_ Mark’s Upper Room
So in the end, what must you do? Go toward world evangelization.

World Evangelization Through the Mission of the Mount of Olives

2025.11.22 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Evangelist’s Life and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (47)
– Model 41 of the 3 Courtyards –
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8


This is the mission that remnants must remember. It is the Mt Olive mission. From here, world evangelization is accomplished. Those who merely think, “I just need to eat and survive,” do not particularly need this. Remnants must surely remember this. Even if you do not receive salvation, fine, then just go to hell. That means you eat well and then go to hell. Such people do not need this mission. There are also people who say, “I will just enjoy some hobbies and try to live somewhat like a human being.” Those people do not even need to come to church. Right? Without believing in Jesus, you can still live like a human being. Then you just live that way. It is the same as an animal. Today, humans are less happy than dogs. Right? They say, “Do not eat dog meat from now on?” Dogs will become completely happy. Are we humans like that? A normal believer is one who blocks darkness and does world evangelization.

▣ Introduction_ From where
Then from where must our remnants’ studies come? Where it comes from is important.

1. Studies
Where must your studies come from?

2. 300%
You must make your studies 300%, but from where must they come?

3. 237–5000
And in reality, your future work—your studies, job, and work—must fit with 237. If it does not match 237, you cannot be used. Remnants sitting here must keep this in mind. When your generation comes, it will be completely different from now. You do not need a building in Jongno. Why? You work from home. You do not need your own job. AI will do everything. What kind of age will come? A strange age is coming. So God gives you answers that match this (237). This (5000) is what Jesus gave already 2000 years ago. Truly amazing.

▣ Main Point_ Mt Olive
At this Mt Olive,

1. The beginning of world evangelization
He told them what the beginning of world evangelization is.

2. The background of world evangelization
At this Mt Olive, He explained the background regarding “world evangelization.” We must surely enjoy this.

3. The secret of world evangelization
And there, He spoke the secret of doing world evangelization.
This is enough. From here, your studies must come. As you enjoy this throughout your life, success must arise, 300% must arise, everything must come.

1. The beginning of world evangelization
1) Acts 1:1 (God the Son Jesus)
Acts 1:1. “In my former book, Theophilus…” What is this? God the Son Jesus.

2) Acts 1:3 (God the Father)
He explained for forty days about the kingdom of God. What is this? God the Father.

3) Acts 1:8 (God the Holy Spirit)
And He came only by the Holy Spirit. God the Holy Spirit.
From within this power of the triune God working upon us, your talents and studies must all come. Remnants must remember this. When should you do this? When you hesitate. If you hesitate, then do not do it. Just wait. “Ah, I need this but I do not have it”? Then do not do it. “I want to study abroad like others, but the door is not opening.” Then what should you do? Just do not go. Do I need my plan? No—I need God’s plan. So when my friends were studying abroad, where did I go? I went to the field. Who benefited more? I gained far more. Although they had good experiences—it was not bad—but what is our goal? We must be able to do world evangelization. Your studies must come from this (world evangelization).
I see people who listen to my sermons continuously just to criticize and analyze. “Is there a mistake or not… is there anything wrong or not…” What will happen to that brain? Even if they are right, what will happen to that brain? What will happen to their soul? Truly pitiful. From where must your studies and 300% ability come? From deep research? No. It comes from here (Main Point 1).

2. The background of world evangelization
And remnants have this background.

1) The throne
The throne. This itself is the answer. From the throne, He is protecting you.

2) The kingdom
Then answers that are invisible begin to come. The kingdom.

3) The work
And eventually, visible answers come. The work of the kingdom. This is the background.

3. The secret of world evangelization
And He gave an amazing secret. Why does someone commit suicide? A bartizan—the thought that “I must commit suicide”—arose first. Right?

1) Bartizan
God gave the secret at Mt Olive through Christ. Jehovah’s bartizan.

2) Journey
From then on, the way becomes visible—the journey of the throne.

3) Guidepost
And from then on, not only the way but the answer appears first. Joseph saw the answer first. This is called the guidepost.
Remnants must surely remember this.

▣ Conclusion_ Summit Time
Because everything must come from here (the entire message), take even just a little, just a little summit time. Even just a little summit time… Then you thought a problem came on the way, but an amazing rooting begins there. What rooting? What was imprinted begins to take root. Eventually, this becomes a new nature that determines your destiny. You must surely do this. Then, remnants, nothing else matters. No need for words. A witness. On the path remnants walk, the 300% evidence to save the past, present, and future for world evangelization has come. Even if you graduated from a very poor university, a person who makes 300% wins. Even if you graduate at the top of Harvard, if you cannot make 300%, you are nothing more than a servant. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Let this be a time for our remnants to prepare for the future. Let this be a time for all our church leaders to change today. Let this be the preparation for all our ministers to change the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Finish Everything With the Covenant of Mount Calvary

2025.11.22 Business Missions
The 237 Nations and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (47)
– Bartizan 41 of the 3-day Weekend Age –
Scripture Reading: John 19:30


If you properly carry out the evangelism movement, various persecutions and attacks are bound to come. The only thing you can do is give evidence. So our remnants must make the future 300%. Our church leaders and congregation members do not need to go all the way to the future. You must make the reality 300%. Pastors must surely remember this. The reason He raised the twelve apostles was to make the world district church. The reason He left the seventy disciples was to form the seventy district church. Pastors must not say anything else and must absolutely establish one bartizan per month. Your church will come alive. Usually when I go to the provinces, I can feel something. Because it is the provinces, things tend to run centered on the pastor and a few people, and I can sense that they cannot escape that limitation. If it is like that, world evangelization is difficult. But as I was going around, I realized, “Ah! This is why it is good to go around and visit the core.” When I came to this church, I was somewhat surprised. I could already sense that there are church leaders who have a firm covenant. There are multiethnic people, but not just multiethnic people—multiethnic church leaders who speak Korean 100%. The young man who led the service today is a model with a future. His wife is a deaconess, and she is an artist invited by a famous gallery. She is a painter. There are many good individuals. This means the pastor and his wife have a wide capacity. Before, I had never once thought that Pastor Park Hyung-gyu was handsome. But today, looking at him, he looked handsome. Ah, depending on how one thinks, the way a person appears can change.

A very important covenant has been given to you, especially the covenant of today that our church leaders must hold. Why did Jesus ask the question at Caesarea Philippi? This is important. Jesus saw that the disciples still had not realized it. He called the disciples and asked, “What do people say about Me?” As expected, they answered incorrectly. “They say You are like Jeremiah. They say You are like John the Baptist. They say You are like Elijah. They say You are like one of the prophets.” Then He asked, “But what do you say?” No one could answer, but by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Peter answered. Jesus blessed him to the point of being amazed. Today, whether you have found the answer of Christ or not, Christ Himself knows. Even more importantly, Satan knows it well. This is what is frightening. Once you have completely come to the answer of Christ, Satan kneels before you. Before that, he will never kneel. And later, even people will recognize it. That is why Jesus considered it extremely important that the answer of Christ was completely established and asked the question. Although Peter confessed by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he still did not have the answer, so Jesus took him to the Mount of Transfiguration. That is why he said he would build three houses for Elijah, Moses, and Jesus. That was wrong.

「The Covenant of Mt Calvary – Solving Everything」
We must solve everything with this. If you do not hold this covenant, darkness will never let you go. That is why world evangelization does not arise. A missionary from another denomination contacted me from abroad. No matter how much he thought about it, he said that the gospel delivered by the teams of the Darakbang movement works in foreign countries. He said, “Even if I am criticized, I must do the gospel movement.” If you do not have the answer of Christ, your strategy will never bring world evangelization or the evangelism movement. When a church leader comes to the answer of Christ, there is nothing left to ask. Right? And then great tests will come. It does not matter. There may also be personal hardships. It does not matter. Why? Because the answer has already come. This means the answer to overcome darkness has already come.

▣ Introduction
Then, when this answer comes, three things come alive. Three things come alive.

1. Status – Qualification
It originally existed, but your status comes alive. “I have the qualification to receive God’s answers.” This comes alive.

2. Authority – Power
Then authority comes alive. What is authority? It means you have the qualification to enjoy God’s power. Why is it called authority? If it were your own power, it would not be called authority. Right? If you studied hard and were hired, we do not call that authority. You studied and got a job. If you take tests and become a minister, that is ability. But when a president or king appoints you and says, “You be the minister,” that is authority. Because we live in a democratic nation, we hold hearings. That is natural. But fundamentally, authority is given.

3. Position – Anointing
According to this, your position comes alive. All believers nationwide and worldwide must surely keep this in mind. If you do not have this answer (The Covenant of Mt Calvary – Solving Everything), this will not come alive. Do you know what your position is? It means you were anointed. When appointing deaconesses, ordained deacons, or elders, do we not lay on hands? That is anointing. Because everything ended with Christ, when you receive your position now, if we were to anoint with oil, it would drip onto the ground. In the past, that is what they literally did. Now, because everything ended in the name of Christ, we do not sacrifice a lamb, but originally the lamb was sacrificed. Your status comes alive, your authority comes alive, and as that happens, your position comes alive. Elders, ordained deacons, deaconesses—just remember one thing: “I receive the blessing of this position.” Right? You do not need anything else. “I receive the blessing of this position.”

▣ Main Point_ The Way
Then, once things begin to come alive, the very important way of answers becomes visible. What way becomes visible? You thought that the past coming down from your ancestors, from long ago, would disappear, but it does not disappear. Your parents, grandmother had spiritual problems, were demon-possessed, had issues—you thought it was gone, but it comes to you again. Right? You were embarrassed to tell others, but you thought the strange issues in your family line ended, yet they come to you. Some people are shocked—this leaps over one generation and comes to their children.

1. The Christ before eternity (Family line)
Christ is the Christ who existed before eternity.

1) Genesis 3:15
So the Joseph and the work that understood Genesis 3:15 become yours. You must believe this.

2) Exodus 3:18
The answers Moses received in Exodus 3:18 and the answers Jethro received—these become yours.

3) Isaiah 7:14
There were people who moved the age in Babylon. “A virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and his name will be Immanuel.” That becomes yours. You must surely remember this. Otherwise, the past will not disappear. The offspring of the woman, the blood sacrifice, the virgin conceiving and bearing a son, His name Immanuel—this is the name before which the disasters, darkness, and Satan that you can never solve tremble. But a problem came to me? It will become a blessing. People misunderstand constantly. Joseph was unjustly imprisoned. Was that a loss? Those with spiritually darkened eyes think he lost. He was kidnapped by traffickers, sold off, and disappeared. Was he finished? This is how we misunderstand. That was the path toward becoming the prime minister who would fulfill world evangelization. You must surely keep this in mind.

2. The incarnate Christ (Destiny)
But why does my destiny not change? The incarnate Christ. That is why the word “receiving” (accepting Christ) is important.

1) John 1:11–12
He came as the Light, but “to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the authority to become children of God.”

2) Matthew 4:19
Destiny is reversed. “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They were no longer fishermen catching fish, but fishers of people. Their destiny was overturned.
Mark 3:13–15
He gave them tremendous things. “He called them to be with Him, to preach, and to drive out demons.” Tremendous.
3) Matthew 11:28
So He did not say, “You who are weary and burdened, solve everything and come to Me.” Right? Religion tells you to solve your problems and come. That is religion. It is impossible. There are even many pastors who think this way. Do you have to repent of all your sins before you come to church? You must come, receive salvation, and have it solved. Right? If you do not understand the gospel properly, everything becomes reversed, becomes religion. “He has too many spiritual problems”? Do not worry. Jesus said, “Come.” He did not say, “Solve it and come.” “You who are weary and burdened, come to Me.” This is the message that overturns destiny. You must surely remember this.
Matthew 12:26–30
If not, in Matthew 12:26–30 it says that Satan is building his house. This (Main Point 1) is solving the eternal problem of the past family line. This (Main Point 2) is overturning my destiny.
If our young adults do not have the answer of Christ, when they marry, they will not know. But as they live, this (family line) appears. Before marriage, the man seemed so cool, but later he becomes strange and this (family line) shows up. It will appear. That is why we hold to only Christ.
After realizing this, Paul lamented. “I have so much to boast about, but because of these things, I persecuted and did not know Christ.” Paul said that. “I consider them rubbish.” “I consider them loss.” After realizing this. He even said, “I am the worst of sinners.” Not merely a sinner, but the worst of sinners. Why? Because he is human. He was a witness at Stephen’s death. Right? He was a witness. He saw Stephen being killed. That Paul met Christ. So Paul had no choice but to be used. He completely came to the answer.

3. The resurrected Christ (Answer)
If you pray, do answers come? Do they come? This is the third point. The resurrected Christ. He said, “Pray in this name.” There are people who are demon-possessed and become violent. Right? Some hide when demon-possessed. Some run outside. Some lock the door and stay inside. Some become violent. Go there and pray. Try commanding in the name of Buddha. Try it. You will be beaten to death. But the moment the name of Christ appears, they tremble. They know. Demons know like demons. “Ah, this person belongs to Christ.” They know. It says they were sealed by the Holy Spirit. What does sealed mean? A stamp was placed. You cannot see it with your eyes. The resurrected Christ. So what did He say?

1) Matthew 28:16–20
Christ, after rising, gave the sure promise that we should now pray in His name.

2) Mark 16:15–20
And in Mark it says, “In My name.” “Drive out demons, lay hands on the sick and they will recover.”

4. The coming-again Lord Christ (Future)
What about our future? Christ who will come again. The end of the earth comes at that time. All scholars say there will be an end of the earth. But when will it come? It comes then.

1) Acts 1:11
After delivering the message following His resurrection, the angels told them, “He will come again. He will return the same way you saw Him go.”

2) Acts 1:14
Holding to that covenant, they gathered. “They devoted themselves to prayer.”

3) Acts 2:1–47
Then an amazing thing happened. The greatest answer came. What was it? At the Mark’s upper room.
Tomorrow’s worship is the day to receive this grace (Acts 2:1–47). Today is the day to receive this blessing (Acts 1:14). Right? The greatest worship during worship is the worship you will give tomorrow at your church.

5. The Christ who is Judge (Eternity)
If I am an eternal being, what about my eternal problem? You do not die. Whether you go to hell or heaven, you still exist. How do we solve this problem? Christ the Judge. This is the answer. We are not beings who die. Humans live forever. We just move house. That is why funerals, in a biblical sense, do not entirely fit. We send them to their true homeland. It is a farewell ceremony.

1) Revelation 20:1–15
That is why Revelation 20:1–15 explains Christ the Judge.

2) Revelation 21:1–17
And Revelation 21:1–17 reveals the new heaven and new earth.

These answers may look like nothing, but they connect your past and your future. When this becomes firmly believed and becomes yours, that is knowing Christ. Then Satan, darkness, and curses kneel before you. Driving them out is not enough. They must kneel. If a thief enters your home and you turn on the light, he runs away. But he comes again later. Right? But he must come to the point of kneeling and deciding, “I will never go to that house again.” The forces of darkness must kneel.

▣ Conclusion_ John 8:44
Do not be deceived. What you lose is because you were deceived by Satan. Satan is a liar, a swindler, a deceiver. He even deceives himself. You must firmly hold the covenant. What are you most deceived by? If you are truly important people, if your church is truly an important church, you will face the test, “Ah, I really cannot do this anymore.” That test must come so that you stop, right? That is being deceived by Satan. Church leaders, never be deceived. Everyone gets deceived like that. In one church, in one region, in the place where I am, fruit must come. If you keep running away, where will you go next? A child quit church because of some conflict. I called him and said, “Hey, there is conflict everywhere in the world. Will you run away from everywhere? Then you will run away your whole life. You must overcome.”
Where else are you deceived? Constantly judging people. That is why we do not need to judge people, because people’s future changes. We constantly judge others. That is what unbelievers do. Those who are saved continuously change, so you cannot judge easily.
Where else are you deceived? Being work-centered while losing the essence. Beloved congregation members who must receive blessings, know this surely. Losing the essence and being work-centered—that is being deceived by Satan.
Do not be deceived. Swindlers are bad, but those who are deceived are also bad. Right? If someone says, “If you pay this much, you will get that,” and you believe it—that is bad. Thankfully, we have never been deceived because we do not desire anything for free. What is there to desire? What makes people deceived? Desiring something. That is why Satan deceives you.
Conclusion: You can have everything—just do not enjoy Christ. The Pharisee, who became Satan’s agent, said, “Did we not tell you not to speak of Christ?” Peter answered, “There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” All workers and church leaders, today you must make the decision that receives true blessing. It is finished with Christ. He said, “It is finished.” That is what this means.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, and the everlasting love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be with all workers and church leaders who will save the world with only Christ, from now until eternity. Amen.
