「Make the Future Your Today」 (Ps 78:70-72)

There are a few things Remnant must absolutely do. I will talk about them.

“The future becomes today”

The Remnant who will save the world see the future and bring it into today. So if they pray even a little, the future becomes visible to the Remnant.

▣ Introduction — Future

Because you do not pray at all, you cannot see it; if you pray even a little, the future becomes visible.

1. Genesis 37:1-11

Joseph had already seen the future. So his whole life journey is the path of fulfilling that — there is nothing to worry about.

2. Exodus 3:1-18

Moses is someone who struggled without clearly grasping the future. Even though his mother told him, he could not firmly hold on to it until he grew old. This is when he was 80 years old. At that time God told him. Appearing forcibly in the midst of a flame. From that point different things began to happen. People say prayer, but they do not know what it is for. It is the thing that makes you know clearly what the future is.

3. 1 Samuel 3:1-19

I said “these are characteristics.” He made it clearly known to Samuel.

4. 1 Samuel 16:1-13

He made it clearly known to David. Only by knowing it clearly do you bring this future into today. Nearly all Remnant received this blessing.

5. 2 Kings 2:9-11

Already, having cast away all ambition — asking for a double portion of the spirit — this means he had already known the future. Jericho, Bethel, Gilgal — those are not the issue. He had already known. God has no choice but to use him.

6. Daniel 1:8-9

It was not success. Daniel knew. The future. Why he was there. Why he had been taken captive. Why he had been raised to such a high position. He knew all of it. He made a resolution. God has no choice but to work.

7. Acts 9:15

So God made clearly known to Paul what was certain. There is nothing to be shaken or not shaken by. How can one come to know this?

▣ Main

What must you start with? Prayer.

1. Prayer

1) Psalms 5:3

Remnant, even if it is brief, pray in the morning. Psalms 5:3. Pray in the morning. Since you have to wake up anyway, when you wake up, pray. Pray even for 5 minutes. In my own case, when I get up in the morning I continue praying deeply while getting ready. I always maintain breathing for health. While interpreting I breathe in. I just breathe out while speaking. Continuously. In the morning.

2) Psalms 17:3

At night. Tremendous things happen in the brain. People do not know prayer; that is why. You know that condition where someone is color-blind and cannot distinguish colors? Then they cannot tell colors apart. Then for their whole life they have never seen blue-green. What would happen? It is serious. When you pray, tremendous things happen in the brain. Most people do not know this. They keep thinking, keep worrying. And some people with not-even-good minds still calculating cleverly. That is a big problem. Remnant, do not be deceived — pray.

3) Psalms 23:1

Pray during the day. “Even though I walk through the darkest valley” — it is fine. He comforts and guides me in each moment. This is it. Why? Because He is my shepherd. David did nothing else but this. And then what?

4) Psalms 78:70-72

When you are a shepherd there is a lot of time. He did deep prayer. And praised. This is extremely important. Remnant must truly enjoy and come to understand this.

2. Ability

From this point, ability comes out. What kind of ability comes out?

1) The ability to tend sheep

The ability to tend sheep came out. Everyone does it, but it is different. David said he did not lose a single sheep. This means there were sometimes such incidents. To what extent did he have ability? Animals would come — a lion or bear would come and take a sheep. Then it would go somewhere to devour it. It would carry the sheep away. So to what degree was David skilled? He would throw a stone and hit the lion or bear in the head, at its vital point. Remarkable, right? Because it was dazed, he would pry open its mouth and pull the sheep out.

2) Goliath

This ability was what met Goliath. It was too easy. David defeating Goliath was truly a piece of cake. In English: “Piece of cake.” He won immediately. It goes beyond that. To what degree was his prayer and praise outstanding?

3) 1 Samuel 16:13

Just by having prayed, such power appears. Evil spirits are driven away. When you praise, darkness flees. Right?

3. 300%

Finally your 300% comes out. 300% in prayer, studies, and the future comes out.

1) Prayer
2) Studies
3) Future

300% comes out in prayer, studies, and the future too. This is the answer. Remnant must truly enjoy this.

▣ Conclusion

So for you, for Remnant — from the very beginning, do not think about answers; just pray. Then one day, this will be imprinted on you precisely.

1. Imprinting [bartizan]

That becomes the bartizan. Because it is imprinted, this becomes the bartizan.

2. Roots [journey]

They take root. The journey is made with this strength. Studies are done with this strength.

3. Disposition [guidepost]

Later, it becomes completely your disposition. What was imprinted becomes your disposition. The guidepost that leaves a masterpiece by looking at this. Remnant must always enjoy this at ease. One day, the testimony and conviction come. One day when this (the introduction) becomes visible. Then you are set. Then all the things that have happened are the process of fulfilling this (the introduction).

If one does not know this (the introduction), Joseph would have died on the way as he was being dragged off as a slave. From the shock. That slavery is not like riding in a car as people do today. It is being dragged. Hands and feet are bound to prevent escape, and they are dragged along. People die along the way. If you die along the way, they just discard you. Joseph already had this. Remnant, the answer of world evangelization has already been given to you. Start quietly. That is how you become a spiritual summit first. Even if you are young in age, you are a spiritual summit. At home, though young in age, you are the prayer summit who saves your parents. At school, you must respect teachers and many others, but in prayer you are the summit. Let us pray.

Prayer. Thank you, God. Let this time also be a time of enjoying the power of the throne. In this time also, send the Lord’s angels and let the work of God be accomplished. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Businesspeople Who Raised World Remnants

– Bartizan of the 3-day Weekend Age 65 –
「Businesspeople Who Raised World Remnants」 (Jn 21:15-18)

▣ Introduction

At the new sanctuary of Immanuel Changwon Church, we are getting to the core of things today. You simply need to make a church that people cannot help but come to. You need to make a church where people of many ethnicities can come comfortably, a church where the sick can come and rest and pray, a church where the Remnant can find peace and see their future. Even in Busan, you need to make it so that the people of the neighborhood come to the church just to rest. That is why I said to choose a mountain location. Busan has such a great location. There, you can make as many prayer spots and resting places as you want. The question is: how, and what does God want?

There was a boy who fell into the water and was about to die. A friend who was passing by spotted him and pulled him out. The two of them became friends. But it turned out this friend was a child from a very poor family. When he told his father about it, the father raised that child. He raised him so that he could study. The two boys grew up to do important things for their country. The boy who had fallen into the water became a politician named Churchill. The child from the poor family grew up to become a famous doctor who created penicillin to save the world — a man named Fleming.

What is the most precious thing we must leave behind? It is raising the right people of talent so that they have the gospel. So what is the way to save people of many ethnicities? It is raising those people of talent. Why do powerful nations build so many schools? It is to gather people of talent. They are competing. There are more than 5,000 universities in America alone. The idea is to take hold of the world’s talented people. In Boston alone, where Harvard University is located, there are 500 universities. They are all famous universities. The goal is to raise talented people.

There was an elderly man who went to a university to talk to someone, but they would not let him meet the president of the university. He said he had come to meet the president. Does just anyone get to meet the university president? If someone connected brings you, that works, but because people kept showing up casually and asking to meet, they stopped letting people in. Still, he did not leave. Eventually they made time and had him come in. This old man asked the president: “How much does it cost to run a university like this?” The president dismissed the old man and said, “Not just anyone can do this,” and sent him away. As the man quietly walked away, he thought to himself, “Raising talented people — that’s what schools are for…” He had intended to give this man everything he had earned and saved over a lifetime, but since the man had treated him so dismissively, he thought, “I’ll just build one myself.” And he did. He founded a university in his own name. That university is Stanford. Why? Because talented people must be raised.

“The Work Person Who Raises World Remnant”

We are work people who raise world Remnant. And so, for our Remnant, the headquarters must call in the world’s Remnant elites, give them the gospel, and send them out. Our work people must join in and pray for this. It may look small, but the whole world is contained in it. When they put that poor child through school, no one knew that child would go on to save the world. So no one knows what will happen to Remnant in the next generation. That is why this church must be made so that people of many ethnicities, so that Remnant, so that talented people will come. Why is that?

▣ Main

1. Luke 23:28

Jesus said, “Weep for your children.”

1) Crucifixion

Jesus was on the road going up to receive crucifixion. How could such a thing happen? As Jesus carried the cross and went up, many women wept. At that moment, Jesus turned and said: “Do not weep for me. Weep for your children.”

2) 70 A.D.

Jesus was looking ahead to 70 A.D. Before long, Israel would be destroyed catastrophically because they had blocked the gospel.

3) The next generation

What happened to this next generation? They were massacred catastrophically. That part alone is terrible enough, but they also took children and used them as subjects for experiments. Especially in Germany, that is what happened. They captured children and performed live experiments on them. And while those children waited to undergo those live experiments — I once saw a photograph of the look in their eyes. Think about what it would be like if your own child were there.

This is how great the sin of blocking the gospel is. Because it was so wretched, Jesus said it: “Do not weep for me. Weep for your children.”

Some children were dragged away into criminal groups. Many children were dragged away into back-alley work groups.

Yet within that, an unseen minority who held the gospel changed the world. You must think about what it is we need to do.

2. John 21:15-18

Jesus came to find Peter, who had gone back to fishing. He could have rebuked him once, but He did not. Why? Because He knew. So He went to Peter and did not ask anything different. The same words. “Do you love me?” The same. “Feed my lambs.” Why does He say to feed them?

1) Something else

Because many people have been fed something else. Powerful nations grew up eating something else, so all they have is violence, murder, and conquest. Jewish people grew up eating the wrong thing, so they cannot be corrected. And many religious people are clinging to something even more wrong.

2) Imprinting — root (disposition)

Quickly — this is urgent. The point is: imprint the covenant and the gospel on the lambs. Feed them, that is what it means. Because they will take root according to what has been imprinted, and their disposition will form according to how they take root. He pleaded earnestly: “Feed my lambs.”

3) The synagogue

So this covenant went through Paul to every synagogue. Why? Because they had been feeding something else in the synagogues. This is a serious problem, isn’t it? In the synagogues where children gathered, they had been feeding them things that lead to ruin. Paul’s heart was urgent. So he went into the synagogues and pleaded earnestly.

So really, there is no need to think of anything else. They have already been fed something else, I tell you. That is why He said to feed them. How important is this?

All work people do not need to reach many. Just share the gospel with talented people. And so, the headquarters must stop at nothing and call in talented people from 5,000 ethnic groups. Going forward, we will meet with presidents of various nations and make a proposal: please select talented people. We will provide the tuition. There is just one condition: at a certain point in time, allow them to come to Korea for evangelism training. About one year. Then those people will immediately be people who hold the gospel and will cooperate.

So it is fine if one answering church leader each takes responsibility for one person. And in those countries, the tuition is nothing compared to what it costs us. That is why, when the leaders from Vanuatu came this time, we had a meal together. And among the many things I ask, there is always one thing I make sure to ask: “How much is the monthly salary of the workers, the people currently working?” When you ask that, the answer comes right away.

I went to a hotel in Manila, one of the biggest, finest cities in the Philippines. And among those working there were clean, bright-looking young people. They had selected good-looking young people, dressed them neatly in suits, pinned on name tags, and they were working hard. That must have been about 17 years ago. So I asked, “How much are you paid here, what is the monthly salary?” One hundred dollars. One hundred dollars — that is under 100,000 won in Korean money, and they were working for that. Us raising the world? That is not a difficult thing.

The late Elder Park came to me and made a request. “Pastor, please support me with 300,000 won a month.” I asked, “What will you do with it?” He said the monthly salary of a professor among the Karen refugee people is 10,000 won. So he wanted to raise 30 of those professors. That is the scale of it.

That is why world evangelization is not difficult. Raise talented people in the next generation.

3. Matthew 18:1-10

Here, several characteristics appear.

1) The disciples’ concern

The disciples’ concern. What are the disciples doing right now? “Who among us is the greatest?” That is it. And we have a lot of that kind of concern too. And there are many people who are always trying to make themselves stand out. What does that tell you? It is evidence that they themselves have nothing. A person who has true conviction and truly possesses something does not show it off. They do not need to. After all of Jesus’s training, the one thing the disciples end up saying is: “Who among us is the greatest?”

2) A little child

So Jesus said, “In the kingdom of heaven, becoming like a little child is the greatest.” And then, “Do not mistreat these children. To raise children like these is to serve me.” He went that far, and then what did He say?

3) The helping angel

“Do not despise these children. Their angels always see the face of God.” These are words Jesus said directly. The world’s pastors may not believe it, but these are words Jesus said directly. There are angels helping you. It says that your prayers are carried as errands and that they behold the face of God every day. It appears throughout Scripture at important moments.

So you must know how important it is to raise even one child. You must stake your life on it. Before a child graduates elementary school, the gospel must be imprinted. Before they go to middle school, they must be able to pray. Teach them scientifically. You must explain scientifically what happens in the brain when one prays — that is how awakening comes. And you must explain it biblically for them to understand. You must explain it fully through the gospel and spiritually for it to become their own. They do not even know how to pray. If they go out into the world like that, will that be enough?

▣ Conclusion — Life (24)

I will continue speaking about this, but true prayer is something done within life. This is what we mean by 24. Even now, you must be in deep prayer. When you come to worship tomorrow, on Sunday, you must sing hymns and hear the Word from within deep prayer. When Remnant face hardship, it cannot be “What do I do now?” You must study while enjoying the secret of prayer that no one else knows. When you do, that is when you understand prayer.

“Well, is it wrong to go to a mountain and pray?” That is fine. It does not matter at all. But this — the conclusion — must come from within life. When you open your eyes in the morning, there is nothing else to do. You must prepare. Prayer must arise within that. Don’t you need to prepare in the evening? Pastors, don’t you need to prepare your materials? That must happen within deep prayer. And during the day, you meet people. That too must happen within prayer.

So then, what is the standard for concentrating in prayer? There needs to be a standard. So for me, the best thing God has given — it says God breathed the breath of life into us. Jesus breathed out and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” So for you, because the standard is alive, my standard for prayer is breath. When you use breath as your standard, your focus locks in. And it is good for your health too. It is nearly 24. Very good.

We must teach the Remnant to pray. Jesus did not teach preaching, but He did teach prayer.

May the remaining days of your life be filled with the very best grace and blessing, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, and the infinite love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be always together with all the work people who will save the Remnant, and upon the servants of the Lord, from now until eternity. Amen.

Know Your Mission in Your Spiritual Struggles

Acts 10:38. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

Scripture reveals the spiritual condition of every person born after the Fall: “under the power of the devil.” This is not merely because of the sins people commit during their lives, but because of the consequences of original sin (Genesis 3:1–6). Through Adam’s fall, sin entered the world, and with sin came death for all humanity:

“Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12).

The Bible says that the devil holds the power of death (Hebrews 2:14). Apart from God’s grace, no one can escape the bondage of sin or its eternal consequences. The power of sin manifests itself in every area of life, bringing suffering, separation, curses, disasters, and death (Genesis 3:16–19). Human effort, knowledge, wealth, or power cannot ultimately solve the spiritual problem rooted in sin.

Yet this is precisely why God sent Christ into the world. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to save those who were held captive by darkness. God has now called us to proclaim the finished work of Christ to the nations, just as Jesus went about “doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil” (Acts 10:38). This is our mission in the midst of spiritual warfare.

The One who called us has also given us His unchanging promise: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). We do not fight alone. The risen Christ goes before us, and the Holy Spirit empowers us. With this promise, we are sent into the world to “open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness” (Isaiah 42:7). What an incredible blessing and privilege it is to participate in God’s work of saving lives through the power of the gospel.

We have received the anointing of “the Holy One” (1 John 2:20). Therefore, we go into the world as ambassadors of Christ Jesus our Lord. Wherever the gospel is proclaimed in Jesus’ name, the works of the devil are destroyed (1 John 3:8). Through Christ, people discover the only way back to God (John 14:6), and they are set free from the law of sin and death through His redeeming sacrifice (Mark 10:45).

To carry out this God-given mission faithfully, we must exercise the spiritual authority Christ has entrusted to us (Luke 10:19). Jesus taught that the “strong man” must first be bound (Matthew 12:28–29). God has not left us defenseless in this battle. He has given us spiritual weapons with divine power:

“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).

Always stay spiritually alert in prayer and engage courageously in the battle against the evil schemes of the enemy (Ephesians 6:11). We are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of darkness that seek to deceive. Therefore, stand your ground in faith. Stand firm in the gospel. Be clothed with the full armor of God and remain prepared at all times for the spiritual battle before you (Ephesians 6:13–17).

Always remain on the offensive through prayer, the Word of God, and the proclamation of the gospel. Do not become spiritually complacent or let your guard down. Resist the devil by the authority God has given you through Jesus Christ, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). The believer does not fight for victory, but from the victory Christ has already won through His death and resurrection.

Our God-given mission is far too important to treat lightly. The eternal destinies of souls are at stake. Countless people remain trapped in darkness, separated from God, and without hope apart from the gospel. This is why we must hold firmly to the mission Christ has entrusted to us. Let us carefully consider what Paul said concerning his life and calling:

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace” (Acts 20:24).

To Paul, the mission of God was worth more than comfort, reputation, possessions, or even life itself. His passion was to finish the race faithfully and proclaim Christ to the very end. And ultimately, he did give his life for the gospel. Although Scripture does not record the exact details of his death, church tradition teaches that Paul was beheaded in Rome under persecution, dying as a faithful martyr of Jesus Christ.

Today, that same mission has been entrusted to us: We have only one name to proclaim:

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

We have only one message to preach:

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18).

And we have only one goal in life:

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

This is the purpose of our lives—to glorify God by proclaiming Christ to the world through the power of the Holy Spirit. Whether through our words, prayers, service, suffering, or daily lives, we are called to bear witness to the saving grace of Jesus Christ until the ends of the earth hear the gospel.

Prayer. Father, I thank You for the mission You have given me. Use my life to do good and heal those who are under the power of the devil. Strengthen me to stand firm in spiritual battle and to proclaim the gospel boldly. Thank You for Your constant presence and for the authority You have given through Jesus Christ. May my life be used for Your glory and for the salvation of souls. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

All the Way My Savior Leads Me
^{Fanny Crosby}

All the way my Savior leads me.
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt his tender mercy,
Who thru’ life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus fashions all things well.
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus fashions all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me grace for ev’ry trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Tho’ my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me;
Oh, the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, cloth’d immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song thru’ endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.
This my song thru’ endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.

Scripture Reading
Genesis 11:1-9

Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. ²As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.

³They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. ⁴Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

⁵But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. ⁶The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. ⁷Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

⁸So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. ⁹That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Prayer of the Week: May 10, 2026

Father, we thank You that You are doing a new thing among us, and the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes, completely covered by thick darkness. Help us forget the former things and no longer dwell on our past wounds, failures, and limitations. Restore us through the power of prayer and let Your kingdom come upon our worship and daily lives. May the gospel of Jesus Christ break the power of darkness and reverse destiny for the next generation. Strengthen us to hold firmly to Your eternal Word, arise and shine as witnesses, and fulfill the mission of the watchman until streams flow again in the wilderness.

We bring you our offerings as our worship, praise, and thanksgiving. Restore the Remnant economy, open the missions economy, and restore the economy of light. May 10 million disciples rise up for the evangelization of the world.

Calling
^{Kwon Jung Min}

Lord, hear my prayer as I look back,
Upon my past and see my life today.
Would You open my eyes to see
Your plans for me?

Lord, as I hold onto Your covenant,
And pray in faith with Your Word,
Would You give to me the blessing of meeting
In my every step?

O Lord, in the trials help me to see
Your plans for me,
And give thanks unto Your name.
O Lord, pour Your grace into my heart and let it flow,

Let my love be renewed once again.
Let my heart break from within,
As I look out on this world.
Would You show me the only thing they need
Is Your Gospel, Lord?

And for all of my life,
Let my will be tied to Your desire.
Let me raise up the remnant,
To answer their calling.

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 communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.

O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
^{Charles Wesley}

O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!

My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of your name.

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
‘Tis life and health and peace.

He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.

To God all glory, praise, and love
Be now and ever given
By saints below and saints above,
The Church in earth and heaven.

People: but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Scripture Reading
Isaiah 43:18-19
^{Carmetta Williams}

“Forget the former things;
    do not dwell on the past.
¹⁹See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

Message
I Am Doing a New Thing
^{Pastor Ryu Kwang Su}

▣ Introduction
1. While churches around the world are closing their doors, 237 nations and 5,000 tribes are still waiting for the gospel.
2. The greatest gift parents can give their children is the power of prayer.
3. The Word given to Israel in despair
…1) Forget the former things.
……(1) A person stuck in the past can never succeed nor receive answers.
……(2) A person with mental problems cannot escape from the past, wounds, and limitations. Tormented by spiritual problems, the next generation is struggling with conflict.
…2) I will do a new thing. A person who holds on to God’s new thing can overcome the past. It actually becomes a stepping stone.
…3) I will make a way in the wilderness. I will make rivers in the desert. God will completely restore life.

▣ Main: Five covenants of God that we must hold on to
1. We must know what true prayer is.
…1) Isaiah saw God seated on the throne and the heavenly host while in prayer (Isaiah 6).
…2) Prayer connects to the throne and is the time when God’s kingdom comes.
…3) God’s kingdom comes during the time of worship.
…4) What we see with our eyes comes a little while after.

2. We must know the power of the gospel that binds darkness and reverses destiny.
…1) Isaiah 7:14 – “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.”
…2) Isaiah 8:3 – This is the remarkable message that completely shatters darkness and reverses destiny.
…3) Genesis 3:15 – “The offspring of the woman will strike the head of the serpent.” Jesus Christ will break the power of Satan. Then destiny is completely overturned.
…4) John 1:12 – “To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”
…5) Exodus 3:18 – On the day the blood of the lamb was applied, liberated.

3. We must hold on to the power of the Word.
…1) The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.
…2) The word of God came to Moses.
…3) The word of Galatians 3:28 came to Lincoln.
…4) The word of Isaiah 40 – “Go up on a high mountain and speak.”
……(1) Isaiah 40:8 – “Speak this: the grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of I, the Lord, will stand forever.”
……(2) Isaiah 40:18-20 – “Can something made by human hands be God? People make something and bow down to it – is that God? Some make it big, some make it from gold – what kind of God is that?”
……(3) Isaiah 40:27 – “Why do you say, O Jacob, and why do you speak, O Israel, saying: ‘Why is my situation hidden, and why does God not hear my complaint?'”
……(4) Isaiah 40:28-31 – “Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.”

4. Arise and shine – evangelism and missions.
…1) Isaiah 60:1 – “Arise, shine.”
…2) Isaiah 60:2 – “The glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”
…3) Isaiah 60:3 – Your children will return.

5. We must know the mission of the watchman.
…1) One who gives the Lord no rest.
…2) One who opens the highway.
…3) One who lifts up a banner for all peoples.

▣ Conclusion: Who held on to this prophecy of Isaiah as a covenant?
1. Daniel
…1) He held on to this covenant and made a resolution.
…2) Three kings bowed their knees to Daniel.

2. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
…1) High positions
…2) They did not bow before the idol temple.
…3) The king was moved and made a way in the wilderness and made rivers in the desert so that people could be saved.

Calling
^{Kwon Jung Min}

Lord, hear my prayer as I look back,
Upon my past and see my life today.
Would You open my eyes to see
Your plans for me?

Lord, as I hold onto Your covenant,
And pray in faith with Your Word,
Would You give to me the blessing of meeting
In my every step?

O Lord, in the trials help me to see
Your plans for me,
And give thanks unto Your name.
O Lord, pour Your grace into my heart and let it flow,

Let my love be renewed once again.
Let my heart break from within,
As I look out on this world.
Would You show me the only thing they need
Is Your Gospel, Lord?

And for all of my life,
Let my will be tied to Your desire.
Let me raise up the remnant,
To answer their calling.

Prayer · Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
…hallowed be thy name;
…thy kingdom come;
…thy will be done;

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
…as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;

For thine is the kingdom,

…forever and ever.

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

Know Your Enemy in Your Struggles

Ephesians 6:10-20. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹²For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

¹⁸And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. ¹⁹Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Victory in spiritual battle begins with knowing who you are in Christ — and knowing your enemy. Ignorance of the devil leaves you fighting the wrong battle, striking out against “flesh and blood” when the true conflict lies elsewhere (Ephesians 6:12).

It is easy to dismiss what we cannot see. Yet Scripture is clear: from the beginning, the serpent was “more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made” (Genesis 3:1). With a single lie — you will be like God — he seized dominion over the human race and placed all of humanity under the law of sin and death (Genesis 3:5). This “ancient serpent” has been deceiving the world ever since (Revelation 12:9), stealing, killing, and destroying wherever he is given ground (John 10:10).

He rarely appears as a threat. He “masquerades as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14), working through the powers, economies, and cultures of this dark world to trap people quietly — shaping them into lovers of themselves, lovers of money, lovers of pleasure (2 Timothy 3:1–4). He fans the desires of the flesh, the cravings of the eyes, and the pride of life, and then ensures that even those who gain everything cannot stand (Ephesians 6:13).

He also knows us personally. He knows our scars, our failures, our fears. He works to weaken us through accusation (Revelation 12:10), wearing down our spirit until we doubt what God has said about us.

This is why we must arm ourselves, not with our own strength, but with Christ, the One who destroyed the devil’s work through the cross and resurrection.

The helmet of salvation guards the mind. When you know the worth of your salvation, live in its assurance, and carry its joy into every circumstance, Satan cannot gain a foothold there. Possessing life in Christ means possessing everything. The Holy Spirit who lives in you is the very power of God (Acts 1:8). Arm yourself daily with Christ’s life and Christ’s power.

Never let the grace of the cross grow ordinary. God made the sinless One to bear our sin so that we might become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). This is the breastplate of righteousness — a heart full of awe and gratitude for what Christ has done is a heart Satan cannot penetrate. Where trust in God displaces anxiety, his foothold disappears, for it is precisely when we worry without trusting that we expose ourselves to the lion who prowls seeking to devour (1 Peter 5:7–8).

Hold fast to the promises of God. Make His covenant yours. No matter how bleak your circumstances appear, do what Paul did in the storm: “I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me” (Acts 27:25). One man’s faith in God’s word saved 276 lives. This is the belt of truth — stand firm in it, do not waver, and guard the gospel against every lie of the enemy.

Wear the gospel of peace on your feet so you are always ready to move and always ready to stand. Find your identity in the gospel. Rest in it. Live from it. As you do, you will walk out the life God designed for you: “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news” (Isaiah 52:7).

The shield of faith is your most powerful defense. No weapon Satan raises, no temptation or trial he sends, can break through it — because “everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4).

The sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, is your only offensive weapon, and it is devastating — alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Jesus himself defeated the devil this way, answering every temptation with Scripture (Luke 4:4, 8, 12). Be filled with God’s Word. A church and mission rooted in Scripture is a church the enemy cannot silence.

Finally, guard yourself, your family, your church, and your mission field by praying in the Spirit at all times. God has stationed you as a watchman: “I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night” (Isaiah 62:6). Enter a life of persistent, alert prayer — for your own sake and for the sake of those God has entrusted to your care.

Do not lower your guard. Resist the devil in the name of Jesus. The promise stands: “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet” (Romans 16:20). God will use your life to reach those still living in darkness.

Prayer. Father, thank You for the authority You have given us over the forces of darkness. Open our eyes to the spiritual battles we cannot see. Help us put on the full armor of God — not once, but moment by moment. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Remember Who You Are in Your Spiritual Struggles

James 4:7. Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Every believer knows what it feels like to struggle spiritually. In those moments, the enemy does not primarily attack your circumstances. He attacks your identity. He wants you to forget who you are in Christ, because a believer who has forgotten their identity is far easier to defeat than one who remembers it.

Today’s Word gives us both a posture and a promise. The posture is submission to God. The promise is that when we resist the devil from that place of submission, he will flee. But James does not say resist through sheer willpower or religious effort. The resistance he describes flows from knowing who you are and what has been given to you.

So what has been given to you?

When you placed your faith in Christ, God raised you up and seated you with Him in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 2:6). That is not a future promise. It is your present reality. You are not striving toward authority; you are already standing in one. Scripture tells us that God has given us His Spirit so we can understand what He has freely given us (1 Corinthians 2:12).

When Elisha’s servant looked out and saw the enemy army surrounding them, he was paralyzed with fear. Elisha’s response was a prayer: “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see” (2 Kings 6:17). The Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he saw the hills filled with horses and chariots of fire. The battle had never been in doubt. The servant simply could not see what was already true. He was not standing on his identity and authority.

We face the same challenge. We look at what surrounds us and forget that we are not alone and never were. The armies of God are not on standby. They are already present. Our task is not to summon power we don’t have. Our task is to open our eyes to the power we’ve already been given.

This is what it means to submit to God before we resist the enemy. Submission is not weakness; it is alignment. It is standing in the truth of who Christ is and who we are in Him, and then turning toward whatever is pressing against us with the confidence from above.

The cross settled it. Jesus declared from the cross, “It is finished” (John 19:30). He was announcing total victory over sin, death, and Satan. You are not fighting for victory. You are fighting from it. As Paul reminds us, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet” (Romans 16:20).

So know who you are. Then resist.

Prayer. Father, thank You that the battle belongs to You. Open my eyes today to see what is already true — that I am seated with Christ, covered by His name, and surrounded by Your power. Where I feel weak, remind me who I am. Fill me with Your Spirit so I can stand firm and resist the enemy with confidence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
