08. Jul. 2025 237 New Believers & Field Ministers’ Training – Lecture 3
Scripture Reading: Matthew 28:18-20

---

Just as it is for yourselves, the concern of new members was the topic of Lecture 2 — there is “the anxiety of new members.” And that anxiety is about the future.

①Divination, shamanistic rituals, idols (religion), ancestral rites, business blessing ceremonies, seasonal observances — how have these people been living? Because they are curious about divination, about the future. They feel so suffocated and frustrated. “What is going to happen to me?” So they turn to divination. They also go to shamans and hold rituals — these are people who have lived that way all along. They have also gone here and there chasing after religions and idols. That is how they have lived. And they hold ancestral rites. Even for a small business venture they hold a blessing ceremony, and they are very particular about auspicious days and observe seasonal festivals. It could not be helped — this is simply how they have lived.

②(Mark 3:14, Matthew 28:20) The Holy Trinity: the Word, prayer (the Holy Spirit), witness (witnesses) — The very first thing Jesus said is recorded in Mark 3:14: He called them so that they might be with Him. And this is the very last thing He said. After His resurrection, at the very end, He said He would always be with them until the end of the age. This has to be explained to people. The question is: how exactly does He be with us? This is something that needs to be told to new members. God the Holy Trinity is with us — put simply, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one God. However, He is primarily with us through the fulfillment of His Word. He is with us through the Word. And God the Holy Spirit works through answered prayer. He is still at work through the Holy Spirit right now. Then, He works through evidence and witnesses who can be with us. And because we can be witnesses, this is actually happening.

Introduction — the flow
So then, the question is: why has difficulty come upon the entire world up to this point? There is a current of movement in which God is advancing, and what happened is that this current was missed.

1) Powerful nations (237)
Powerful nations do not know why God made them powerful. There has not been a single nation that understood this. When Egypt became a powerful nation, they thought, “Now we can do whatever we want with the entire world.” Then when this passed to Rome, Rome said, “We can do whatever we want with the whole world” — but God sent the gospel to Rome. Because that was the way it could advance. Then for a time He raised up England, but England did not understand it, and so they said, “The sun never sets on the British Empire.” They said things like, “Rome was not built in a day.” When God saw that these nations were not doing the gospel, He sent it to America. He made America a powerful nation. But America also failed to understand, saying, “We are a great nation, understand?” And on top of that, the question is why He sent people who carried the gospel there as slaves. You have to understand this current. Whenever a powerful nation emerged, He sent them, every single time. Put simply, it looks as though those people were taken captive. But God permitted it. He sent them. Each time they went, history was made. This historical current must be precisely grasped.

2) 5,000 ethnic groups
So the powerful nations mainly moved the 237, but within these there are 5,000 ethnic groups. These are the smaller, weaker nations. Because they have no power, they were taken captive and did not know why they ended up where they did. But God regarded these people as tremendously important. They do not know that either. All they are aware of is their wounds. But God viewed the 5,000 ethnic groups as extraordinarily important. The 237 is straightforward — powerful nations can easily seize and move them. But the 5,000 ethnic groups are truly difficult. Even now there are many people living without shoes. Those people are precious. They do not even know why they are precious. All they know is their hunger…

3) Israel (the church)
The problem is this Israel. In our context today, this refers to the church. God gave the gospel to them. Yet they have no comprehension of the current at all. Having received the gospel, they come out saying, “This gospel belongs to us.” It is almost laughable how completely they fail to see the current. “The Lord is the God of our nation. The Messiah, the Christ, is our nation’s Messiah.” Put simply, what did they fail to see? They could not see any of this current at all. Then look at all of history. Everything has moved in a single sweeping line following the current of the evangelization of the 237 and the 5,000 ethnic groups. God even redirected the current of the gospel toward Korea. But now it is not even that anymore. He is redirecting it toward multiple ethnic groups. That age has now arrived. It is not easy for our new members to understand these things well. But they can have a great many worries about the future. Because they are curious.

Main — ①the beginning of seeing the future accurately, do not worry about the future ②the secret of enjoying the future in advance ③the background of the future — these are things you absolutely must remember. In truth, the answer lies in something far too simple.

1. The Beginning of the Future
1) The throne — the source of 5 answers
What is the throne? The throne is the source of the 5 answers. So this must be believed. What is the first? The fulfillment of the Word, the work of salvation, answered prayer, the spiritual current of the field where you are, the current of one nation for world evangelization — these 5 foundational blessings are what Israel failed to see. When you see these, the future is easily fulfilled.

2) The kingdom — the flow of 5 answers
Then what does it mean to speak of the kingdom of God? It refers to the flow of these 5 answers. When it is said that the kingdom has come, it means this flow has appeared. So all you need to do is check this. Even if you simply worship well, the future becomes visible to you — you only need to see the most accurate 5 foundational answers and the flow.

3) The work — the fulfillment of 5 answers (my point)
When we speak of the work of the kingdom of God, it means these 5 answers are bound to be fulfilled. And I am within that. The only thing to know is: at which point am I? New members can understand this.
Then that person is bound to see the future. It may look like nothing, it may look like doing nothing great, but this appears more important than any work, and if you do not know this there is no reason for you to go worship on Sunday. Church leaders and those with a calling, wherever they go, must precisely see this point. And when worshiping on Sunday, they must precisely see the point of this flow. It really looks like nothing at all, doesn’t it? And yet this is everything. So some people stake their lives on it — those who know this are the ones who go to worship. Those who know this come to understand that the sermon is extraordinarily important. Occasionally the reason pastors’ wives cannot receive grace is that they think their husbands are preaching — they think their husbands are preaching. And what is the mistake pastors themselves make? They think they themselves are preaching. That’s right — they did it themselves, and yet no, they did not. But pastors’ wives know all their husbands’ weaknesses, and inwardly they think, “Why don’t you practice what you preach” — and so they cannot hear the Word. What Word? They cannot hear the current. And so they incur a loss. And the church leaders in that congregation work closely alongside the servants of the Lord, don’t they? If so, instead of hearing the Word, they end up watching the servants of the Lord who are right beside them. That is a great mistake. What we are doing is enjoying the 5 sources of God’s throne. We are enjoying that flow. We are enjoying that fulfillment. Truly. The preacher is preaching this. It can absolutely never be the same. Some people say it is all the same — that is far from the truth, and it simply means they do not understand. Even if the overall message is the same — and it must be the same in order to accomplish world evangelization — the current of fulfillment in your church is different. The fulfillment coming to each individual is different, I tell you. That is why pastoral visits are also made. They are made to allow people to enjoy what is being fulfilled in each individual. This is tremendously important. This is the beginning of seeing the future.

2. Enjoying the Future
Next, this also needs to be shared with people. There is such a thing as enjoying the future in advance. This requires only small, practical actions. All you need to see is: what do I need to do?

1) 3 courtyards (the flow of world evangelization)
What is the first? It is the 3 courtyards. Regarding these 3 courtyards — what answers will you receive?

2) Concentration on the three-day weekend
It is concentration on the three-day weekend. On the three-day weekend, you concentrate.

3) The holy meditation age (future generations)
And then, the holy meditation age of truly saving the next generation…
The 3 courtyards means being within the flow of world evangelization. It is not about what you will do — our new members are within the flow of world evangelization. Concentrating on the three-day weekend is for this purpose — being within that. The holy meditation age speaks of saving the world, but in particular it refers to saving future generations. Being within this. You need to speak to future generations, but more than words you must show them the work of God — this is what is being communicated. Then there is no need to worry about the future. Why? Because the 5 things are bound to be fulfilled and come forth. If you miss this, you worry about future things. If the future cannot be seen, then you don’t need to see it. God is the One who is set to fulfill it.

How far have we come now? Starting from the upper room movement of evangelism in the upper room, continuing on, we have now come to the 5,000 ethnic groups. Then all you need to do is see how the 5,000 ethnic groups will be opened. I do not watch much TV because I do not have time. Because TV is complicated. The talk goes on too long and I have no time for it. Lately I mainly watch YouTube, and YouTube is at least somewhat shorter. When I watch YouTube, where do I end up going? I go a lot into content about the 5,000 ethnic groups. There is so much to see. “Oh, something like this exists” — I keep clicking in and watching. Why? Because it is a matter of enjoying in advance and seeing the current of the future. This is what this is.

3. The Background of the Future — “Romans 16:25-27”
This is the background of the future.
1) My gospel
There is one thing to know here: it says “my gospel,” written this way. It is the gospel of Christ — then why would it say “my gospel”? It means the gospel that I have received and must pass on. Three important things come out of this. My gospel…

2) The eternal
The eternal…

3) That which has been kept hidden
That which has been kept hidden — this is the blessing to be received. So there is no need to try to rush. It is that which has been kept hidden. This is not something that comes and then goes — it is the eternal; it is the gospel God has given to me, and since this must now be passed on, this entire thing — the future — comes as fulfillment. Up until now you can even tell people they do not need to move. Because the 5 things are certainly set to be fulfilled, all you need to do is move in that direction.

Conclusion: Fulfillment
So even so, three conclusions must be drawn.
1) Family lineage — a complete launching pad
Family lineage — make it into a complete launching pad. You must not make it just any launching pad. A complete launching pad — this is where great answers begin.

2) Work — the camp of the throne
Then all work is this: the camp of the throne. Whether good things or difficult things, all work is the camp of the throne — this is the conclusion that must be drawn.

3) Now — 777
What are you doing right now? Right now — right now, you should be enjoying this within prayer. Now, you must always return to this conclusion. When worshiping, into this; when alone, into this; when problems come, into this; when answers come, into this — now — and that is enough. This is the answer. “That which was kept hidden but has now been revealed” — this is what must be clearly communicated to new members.

Then we must make this clear.
Should I do this or that? Wait! New members are uneasy. Wait! Wait for what the Father has promised! Until when? Until it is fulfilled — and then it is exactly right. Answers continue to arise. New members will save their families, save their family lineages, save their regions, and save everything.
May you be those who receive answers, enjoy them, and share them — 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, the infinite love of God, and the work of the Holy Spirit always be with the people of God who have received answers for this age — from now until eternity. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8

---

♠Introduction

▶Today, our Lecture 1 is something you need to prepare for as a lifelong task. You all have the qualifications to do it, you just lack a bit of confidence. And it needs to be the center, it cannot become some kind of program or a side thing. You must clearly change the bartizan of those members. Precious people from many ethnicities have come, and they already carry something else with them. Among the 5,000 people groups, those who are struggling will not say it to you directly, but they have a completely different kind of thirst from yours. First of all, life is hard here, and if you go back to their countries, it is even harder. They carry so many things they cannot speak of. As I have always said, those who escaped from North Korea and crossed into China and then into Korea have no shortage of hidden hardships. We must quickly change their bartizan. That is healing, that is fixing the root, and it is something you absolutely can do.

▶What are the “concerns of new members”? There may be many, but other concerns will pass with time. About 90% of them will pass even if you leave them alone. But this one is different. This work does not pass just by leaving it alone.

①Academic studies- Just looking at what is visible to our eyes, the number one concern of the Remnant is academic studies. What to major in, how to advance in school — they cannot help but have these vague worries.

②Employment- And also, they cannot help but worry about how to find employment. They should be able to not worry about it, but the reality is they cannot help it. The truth is, if they get the important answer, they do not need to worry. So because they just do not understand, I tell the Remnant: it is okay to clean, you first need to succeed at cleaning before you can become a household manager; even if you fall completely to the bottom, it is okay, if you succeed there you will even meet a king — it is that kind of thing, so they cannot help but worry a great deal.

③Shamanism- When we actually evangelize, among new believers, those who have come out of shamanism are truly struggling. They used to have income back in the old days. These people are now completely called ones, yet they must be considered the most marginalized in the church — that is the situation. And it is not easy for them to expose themselves and deal with their difficulties. So among those who have come from that background, those who can evangelize need to be properly prepared and sent out.

④Arts, sports, and physical education people- Also, these are very talented people, yet in my view the most heartbreaking thing — the reason I single them out — is because they are people who can be used for evangelism. Apart from a few exceptional individuals, arts, sports, and physical education people almost all struggle financially. Every so often 0.1% of them make money, people talk about how much wealth they have, but apart from that almost all of them struggle. Yet these people are truly talented individuals. And they are people who have invested their time and much of themselves into their field.

⑤Entertainers- And beyond these people, there are also countless entertainers. Almost all of them struggle as well.

⑥Daily life (world evangelization?)- Now, we need to give these people accurate answers. In reality, they may be able to manage daily life somehow. They can get by one way or another, but actual world evangelization is impossible for them. In church we always talk about world evangelization, but in reality it is difficult.

⑦Work people (work)- And among them, what about the work of our work people? The work of these work people needs to receive proper answers before world evangelization can happen, and this area is actually difficult as well.

※Decision- Among new members, another thing especially worth noting is that many people have come to church after making a decision because things had just stopped working out for them. There are also those who came having received the gospel and being led here, but most of those who made their own decision — when you look at them — made that decision in the midst of hardship and came.

▶Introduction- The answer (the path) We must not miss the chance to give these people answers. First of all, we need to give them accurate answers. These people are in that situation, and almost no Christians can give them answers. You need to give answers and show them the path. When someone comes from abroad or a called one comes, you need to show them the path so that person can go in the right direction. What kind of path must you show them?

1. Fact ▶First of all, Christians today have actually missed many of the facts.

(1) Slave (prime minister)- What facts have they missed? Well, a person who was taken as a slave became a prime minister — it is a fact, but the problem is it does not connect with me. Someone was taken as a slave and yet became a prime minister — it is an extraordinary fact, yet we cannot grasp this fact.

(2) Adopted son (world leader)- I have thought about this a great deal. Someone who went as an adopted son became a leader who moved the entire world. This is a fact, yet I cannot grasp this fact right now.

(3) Orphan (Mizpah)- Even further, was it not Samuel who was in a state nearly like an orphan? This person carried out the Mizpah movement.

(4) Shepherd (king)- A figure like David was a shepherd who became a king. These kinds of dramatic, movie-worthy things actually happened.

(5) Farmer (Dothan)- As you know, a person who was a farmer became the central figure of the Dothan movement.

(6) Prisoner (leader of kings)- Even one who was taken as a prisoner became a leader of kings. These are undeniable facts, yet there is such a large gap between them and us.

(7) Wanderer (world evangelization)- And finally, when you look at it, the Remnant were scattered as wanderers, and this is what carried out world evangelization. This is a tremendously important historical fact. Now, I will speak about this in the Main today. Why were these facts missed? You must be sure to tell new members, and you must be sure to find them yourselves. In my view, this is more important than evangelism itself.

2. Background ▶Because of this, they have nearly lost sight of their background entirely. So how have they been living up until now? The truth is this.

(1) What was learned from the world- What was learned from the world — as it is — does that match or not match? When you look at most of the elders, they are not the kind of person who just goes by what they learned from the world, are they? Even though God has given them an extraordinary background, they are operating with what they learned from the world.

(2) What was seen in the culture of darkness- Inevitably, what was seen inside this culture of darkness — that is what they are doing now.

(3) Fate (survival)- Because of this, they cannot find a clear path, and they end up just surviving within fate — that is the situation.

3. 300%- Food, clothing, and shelter ▶Because of that, most people have missed this. They have missed the word 300%. They have actually missed it. The facts of answered prayer, the background we have, the blessing of 300% — with this, world evangelization is possible. They have actually missed all of this. So where do they remain stuck? They remain stuck at food, clothing, and shelter. We also need to get out of this quickly. If members remain stuck at food, clothing, and shelter — I need to eat, I need to sleep — these things are urgent, so how can world evangelization be possible? That said, this is not something we can just skip over. We absolutely must receive answers, so in a sense this is a mission. So as you pray, you need to open up the three-day weekend age so that all work people can actually hold onto this and receive answered prayer. In a sense, although we are called new members (training), it is even more necessary for existing members. For new members it means a direct opportunity has come — it is also necessary for us.

(1) Hegemony- So because the problem of food, clothing, and shelter becomes the answer, in powerful nations they are using this to pursue hegemony. It is that way now and it was that way in the past — there is nothing else to do. Today in the news, President Trump came out saying he would impose tariffs on Korea. And immediately those who export in our Korea face difficulties. People are already saying things are hard, and an even harder situation is coming. Because the Middle East and Russia keep going to war, even traveling is difficult. Powerful nations are using this to pursue hegemony.

(2) Vassal state- Inevitably, developing nations become vassal states to this. Because there is no alternative, at this point — as you know — this church, Israel, does not know what it should do.

(3) Errand running- Those who are considered somewhat educated, those who are considered successful, end up in the position of running errands for these hegemonic nations.

▶Nevertheless, the three organizations have produced this (300%). They have produced 300%. What makes those people even more dangerous is that they produced it through the power of the Nephilim. That is what makes it even more dangerous. When a person has a problem and goes to a shaman, they do a gut ritual for about three hours — the effect comes right away, does it not? It would come. That is the power of the Nephilim. If you are not careful, an even bigger problem comes. Foolishly, people know this and still fall for it. I heard that some people have taken on enormous debt, a problem has come, and it turns out they are even going to gut rituals. These people are not even struggling to eat and live. They are just so desperate and mentally broken. Something strange starts coming over them, and so they end up going to a gut ritual. So what is the conflict for many church leaders? Would a church leader not want to give offerings when the church is struggling? Our trained church leaders are all gathered here in our denomination, and if these people receive economic blessing, they will immediately give it to the church.

▶Main- What facts must we find? We absolutely must find them.

1. Calling → Talent (heavenly mandate, vocation, mission — 40 days) ▶There is definitely something God has given. We look at that and call it a calling (天職, heavenly vocation). Ordinary people use this word too, but as for us, the time has come for us to find this. The heavenly mandate God has given. What is God’s command for why I am living on this earth right now? Why were you called now? That is vocation. What are you called to do? That is mission. Finding this is now the key. This is something they need to experience at least once, and finding this is the key. So why did Jesus explain the 40 days? If you pray with concentration for 40 days, something will come out, right? Restore this time — the three-day weekend age. And from here, as you know, what came out was…

1) 7 bartizans ▶The 7 bartizans came out. If you continue this prayer, you will definitely see them. I believe new members should experience this first of all. And I believe you must definitely have this as well. And the thing that is so simple is what Jesus said: Only!

2) 7 journeys ▶When you pray, you go on the journey of saving this age…

3) 7 guideposts ▶You are able to set up guideposts. That is the word He gave us.

▶Every day- Strength, reality, answers (time) / Only (flow, concentration, answers) So you just need to teach them what you do. I am currently doing interviews with young adults, and I am making sure to tell young adults what I do. Whether they do it or not, you need to tell them. The purpose I am searching for is to raise up an important bartizan, but there is almost no one who looks like they will become a bartizan. So I feel directly — ah, it really cannot be done without the three-day weekend age, I need to teach better, this is all that is coming out. And so I feel that a tremendous amount of blessing is going almost completely unenjoyed. Then what about new members? In a sense it is a miraculous schedule. In a sense, new members understand better. I tell them what I do every day. The time to receive strength — that is the morning time. The time to confirm — that is the afternoon time. The time to receive answers — that is the evening time. Even just doing this covers the full 24. You must teach this. Receive the strength God gives, look at reality through those eyes, and God will surely give you answers — and these answers accumulate and become 300%.

▶And so Jesus said: Only — look at the flow that has been testified up to now. Nothing has ever changed the world except the gospel and the power of the throne. No theologian has ever changed it. Only those who held the gospel changed it. No politician has ever changed it. Only evangelists who held the gospel changed it. Historically, not missing that flow — that is what “only” means. So do not do the wrong thing, do not do something different — that is what “only” means. Focus intensively on what Christ has given — limited concentration. Should you not experience this at least once? To become a soccer player you need to gather together, practice, and build your skills — you cannot go to a world competition without any preparation at all. I feel a little bad saying this, but watching Korea play soccer against China, the gap was so large it looked like Korea was just using it as a practice session with the young players. Looking at our players, you can already see they have practiced enormously. So the way they handle the ball is different. That does not come without practice. So limited concentration, chosen concentration — then what about everything else? It all gets saved. Oneness concentration — but then we face so many difficulties as we go. Acceptance — if you fully accept, you become the same as them. Transcendence — then you have nothing to do with those people anymore. That is giving them answers. That is what we call “only.”

▶These three concentrations, “only” — you need to do this at least once. Set a time and do it. That is why Jesus concentrated for 40 days. From now on, let us do this concentration at the all-night prayer meeting, or let us do it at early morning prayer — that is how it should be. Back when I was an associate pastor, if there was an evangelism team I would say let us come out at early morning prayer and do it — those people were mainly the deaconesses, since they come to early morning prayer. Young adults do not have time so they do it on Saturdays. That is the three-day weekend age — you concentrate just a little and a work of God happens. Acceptance and transcendence are not just things you do — they are giving answers. In the end it is all answers. And along with that I have something I do at every given hour. What do you need to do at every hour? You need to do the work of restoring your roots. Please make sure to do this. You must teach it to new believers. There are blessings you enjoy every day, but there are also things to do at every hour. Today it was extremely hot, so I exercised twice in front of a fan. Why? Because I was separated from you all for two hours. I always do it. I do the breathing for recovery, health recovery. I focus in prayer on this, and then I exercise. So I am bringing everything of mine back to life. Do not make it hard at all — just do it comfortably. My constitution is not suited to going to some gym and working out — that does not work for me. And scheduling a set time and doing something — that does not work for me either. Scheduling a time and praying — that does not work for me. I just do it unconditionally. Comfortably, 24 hours. You need to teach new members that. New members, with just a little prayer, a work of God happens. That is where what God gives comes out. Is that not what we call talent? So instead of doing this even once (300%), they just go about it haphazardly. They listen to what a friend says and do that, listen to what a relative says and do that, hear what an acquaintance says and do that — how foolish is that? Do not miss these facts in that important life — do not let new members miss them either.

2. Standard ▶This is the second fact. What is the standard? You receive this and pray, but what is the standard? This is more important than work itself.

1) WIO ▶Be sure to find WIO. It will definitely come out.

2) OUR ▶Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation will come out, so find them.

3) Absolute plan ▶From this point, God’s absolute plan — or the absolute bartizan — comes into being. It will definitely appear.

(1) Edit- With this, you keep editing continuously until the Word is fulfilled.

(2) Design- You keep designing until the prayer that Christ promised is fulfilled.

(3) Blueprint- You keep blueprinting until the actual door opens.

▶You just keep doing this. I do it for hours, I do it at night — it is so good. All of these things become the secret to recovering health. As I said before, the days when I accidentally wear clothes without pockets are very uncomfortable. Because I need to keep taking notes — prayer keeps coming out. Things to write down — but if I fail to write something down, I cannot remember it later. This is how much God works in us — and this is the standard. He is clearly with you, working as Emmanuel, causing all things to work together to accomplish God’s plan, being with you in Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation — then will not an absolute plan come out? This is the standard. But most people, when you look at what they do, they just do whatever they think. You are not that kind of person. It is the absolute plan. Simply put, the absolute bartizan has been established. From this point on, answers begin to come easily. You need to tell them this.

3. Goal ▶What on earth is the goal? What is the goal of work?

1) Prayer 300% (WIOS) ▶It is the same thing — what does prayer 300% mean? It came up earlier, right? The WIO system has been built. Finally, it will definitely be built. The WIO system gets built right there. Then answers keep coming. People who do not evangelize ask: “Why are there so many terms in the upper room?” If you do not have children, you do not need names. Why would someone who has not even had children be naming children? Going to someone else’s house and asking “why are there so many names in this house?” — that makes no sense. If you do not go to the field, you do not need field vocabulary. This is the goal.

2) Work 300% (OURS) ▶300% will definitely come out in the work you do. What is that? Not just Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation — the system of Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation gets built. Simply put, the bartizan of Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation has been erected. Then answers keep coming.

3) Evangelism and mission 300% (Acts 13/16/19) ▶Finally, evangelism and mission 300% comes out. Your work is used for this. Where is all of this contained? It is all contained right here. Acts 13, 16, 19 — evangelism and mission 300% is contained in here. The guidance of the Holy Spirit, the work of the Holy Spirit, the fruit of the Holy Spirit — it is all in here. Healing of the Nephilim — it all comes out right here.

▶So for new members to know this and pray — you do not need to use words like “answers are coming” or “answers are not coming.” You just go as it is. Undeniable works of God will happen. And the more you have personally enjoyed this, the better you will be able to speak about it. Because you are a witness. And even if you have not enjoyed it, you are someone who proclaims God’s Word — you are not speaking your own things. Many people speak as if they are saying the right things and tell you to share what you have personally experienced — that is understandable, but no. When you have proclaimed God’s Word, works happen together. Peter did not do it already knowing everything. He just listened to God’s Word and proclaimed it together, and works happened together. You are ministering because of new members, and you yourselves come alive. The church comes alive. This is a tremendously important part.

♠Conclusion: “The March of World Evangelization” ▶So you need to conclude it this way. What conclusion comes out? You have joined the march of this world evangelization — the very act of joining is the blessing. But when you look at those who truly receive answers, there are more new members among them. You need to talk about three people.

1. Rahab the harlot ▶Rahab the harlot. A complete outsider, a complete new member — and there is no one who received as many answers as Rahab. You need to tell them about her.
2. Ruth the Moabite woman ▶A foreign woman — Ruth the Moabite woman received extraordinary answers.
3. Gentile- Priscilla ▶The Gentile Priscilla received the greatest answers of all.

▶So even though they are new members, God has given them the blessing of joining this march of world evangelization. Do not be deceived by anything else — now hold onto this, pray with concentration, and receive your answer. It will come. Because of you, works happen in other people’s lives as well. You must have confidence in this. Among those who produce this, even making just one person will cause works to happen.

▶Then what is the true conclusion that comes out? God prepares people who will do this — such people — and attaches them to you. You cannot attach Rahab the harlot to someone like Korah. Right? Korah — the person who was always making strange noise in the wilderness. Who did He attach Rahab the harlot to? He attached her to the spies and caused her to meet Joshua and Caleb right then and there. As you know, who did He attach Ruth the Moabite woman to? He attached her to Naomi. Who did He attach Priscilla to? He attached her right to Paul. So you need to be clearly certain of what might seem like a misconception but is not. Wherever you go, God will move the history of this earth. Why? Things like this will happen — that is okay. Earthquakes, wars will happen — that is okay. These are the words Jesus spoke. There will be turmoil — that is okay. After the gospel has been testified to all nations, then the end will come — that is why He said it. Wherever you move, God moves history forward. It may not look like it, but when it has passed you will know. “Ah, that is what it was!” You must tell new members that you are in this march. There is no greater covenant than this.

We will have our important final message in about 10 minutes.

01.~02. May 2025 Hong Kong Asia Evangelism Conference – Lecture 3
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-18

Introduction

All the important people have gathered for this Hong Kong and Asia conference. Not only from Hong Kong and Asia, but truly significant people from the United States and many other regions around the world have come, and for that I am genuinely grateful to God. Are there unimportant people? No such thing — but there are people who are accomplished yet not grounded in the gospel, and that is a concern. The Jewish people were accomplished. But they were not in the gospel. As a result, their descendants suffered under a curse for 2,000 years. So seeing people who can truly carry the gospel gathered here makes me feel that this Hong Kong conference is truly remarkable.

Is there anyone here who feels that things haven’t been going the way they hoped? Anyone who tried their best but found it wasn’t working? There is one thing you must take away from this conference: God’s absolute plan for you still remains. You need to find it. It exists for everyone. Moses was 80 years old with no answers yet. But God’s absolute plan for Moses still remained. God called him at Horeb and told him to go speak to Pharaoh. Moses said he couldn’t go. That’s understandable — “How old am I now? I fled from Egypt. If I go back, I might die. How can I go? And this job should go to someone young and eloquent — I’m old now, can I really do this?” That’s a misunderstanding. God hadn’t even started with Moses yet. Do you see? That’s what you need to find. It doesn’t matter if nothing has worked out for you until now. God’s absolute plan still remains. Because it remains, you must seek it.

“God, I can’t do this anymore” — who said that? Elijah — the great Elijah — said, “I can’t go on. Take me away.” He even reached that point. “Everyone has left and only I remain.” That was a misunderstanding. “I have kept 7,000 others besides you. Raise up Elisha. I will change the king.” It hadn’t even started yet. The foolish religious leaders thought killing Stephen would end everything. It was just the beginning. They thought blocking one door would stop things. A greater door opened. They thought persecution would work. The persecution only brought more precise guidance.

So all three lectures of this conference must stay in your mind always. In my view, this is the most important set of messages I have ever delivered. What must be done?

① Lecture 1: 24 Disciples — 5 Streams

Find 24 disciples. What do 24 disciples do? They are people who live within the flow of the Word. Those outside the flow of the Word are not disciples. People within the flow of answered prayer. People within the flow of evangelism and gospel fulfillment. People who see the flow of the field. People who see the flow of an entire nation. Find these people. In fact, finding just one is enough. Find one person like Priscilla and Aquila, and it’s done.

② Lecture 2: 25 Disciples — 40 Days, Acts 2:42, 2:46–47
(Super — time, space + Throne / Kingdom affairs + Unprecedented)

Second. Keep this in your heart always. Find 25 disciples. What is a 25 disciple? Someone who understands what 40 days of concentration means. Someone who understands what worship truly is. Someone who understands what answered prayer is. For this person, answers come that transcend time and space. Transcending time and space — completely beyond this moment and place — that is 25. Someone who knows the throne, the Kingdom, and its affairs — these people receive unprecedented answers. Unprecedented answers. Nothing to fear. I simply confirm the answers; I need nothing more. I see God’s plan; there is nothing to be afraid of. In any situation there is blessing — I only need to confirm it. Why? I have already received everything. There is nothing more to receive. I only need to confirm the blessing. Confirm God’s power. Confirm the evangelism. Remember this.

The final thing to remember: Eternal Disciples. What is an eternal disciple? Someone who discovers the absolute. You understand? From now on, you cannot be careless. Not things that can be done or left undone — the absolute things. The absolute thing that revives the church. The absolute thing that brings Hong Kong and Asia to life. The absolute thing that revives your region. Hold onto this.

1) Five Kinds of Time

Keep five kinds of time. Churches must grasp the 40 days, Sundays, and every day. Now, to enjoy the eternal, you don’t need to do it all together.

(1) Acts 2:1–18 — Have your first personal time. Acts 2:1–18. Have a time of deep prayer. Whenever is fine. Deep prayer time — when the Day of Pentecost had fully come. The doors of 15 nations opened. And what? The future becomes visible. “Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will see visions, your young men will dream dreams.” Sometimes the young see visions and the old dream dreams. You must have this time.

(2) Acts 13:1–4 — Have this time occasionally. Completely led by the Holy Spirit. Have it from time to time.

(3) Acts 16:6–10 — The time for finding turning points. For me, the greatest blessing is taking one piece of Scripture and praying until the answer comes. Paul went to the third heaven — I kept praying about what that means. I looked through commentaries. Not much answer there. I kept praying and found it in the Word itself: “Whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know.” That kind of prayer is needed. Journeying along and then entering this deep prayer time.

(4) Acts 19:1–7 — Just as it was in the Upper Room. Don’t miss this — have it from time to time.

(5) 2 Corinthians 12:1–10 — “Whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know” — this time becomes the time when the absolute is seen.

2) Brain, Soul, Everlasting

Second. When you go deep, it is imprinted in your brain. Never miss this. Sometimes while crying out loudly — it gets imprinted. Imprinted in your soul. You encounter the eternal. The throne. In this state, from now on you only need to confirm the answers. Because people don’t know prayer, they can’t confirm the answers. The most difficult thing for me is not anything else — it’s this: the blessing has come, yet many workers think it hasn’t. That’s foolish.

3) 3 Concentrations / 3 Settings / 3 Answers

Third. Take these and practice 3 concentrations, 3 settings, 3 answers from time to time.

4) Throne

Then, as these three things become part of your daily life, you will eventually reach the watchtower — this path. Watchtower, journey, and guidepost of the throne — that is what’s needed.

5) 12 Fields, 70 Fields, World Fields

At this point, ministers of the Lord — plant branch churches in 12 places, evangelizing branch churches. Key lay leaders — spread business and evangelism movements across 70 places. Extend it for a lifetime. Build world parishes. All of this is the field. Never miss it.

With these three things, all answers are received. Don’t miss it — confirm the points. The person I worry about most is the one who disagrees with me. Even that is an answer for me. When working in Hong Kong, you’ll encounter people who clash with you. Even that is my answer. Someone says something wrong. Even that is my answer. If you can’t understand this, revival will absolutely never come. Remember this well. Confirm the answers, confirm the blessing. Just enjoy this. A crisis comes — it will pass. A problem comes — it will pass. A war breaks out — it will pass. God is eternal. That’s enough, isn’t it? This is the finest message for the Hong Kong and Asia conference. Hold onto what God has given. Hold onto these three things and wait, and evidence will come even in your business. No one is helping you — evidence still comes. You have nothing — evidence still comes. Be confident. We are Nobody, Nothing.

Introduction — Reason

Let me summarize briefly. The reason — why is this so? Why does God give this blessing?

1) Nephilim
Our battle is against the Nephilim. It’s not even a battle — it’s already won. It is rescuing those who have fallen into the Nephilim. You know the Nephilim? When Satan enters in, that is the Nephilim. When a demon enters, that is the Nephilim. When someone falls into demon-infested culture, that is the Nephilim. They perish.

2) Age — Mental
The calamity of the age must be stopped. The age must be healed.

3) Church
The church must be healed. Churches around the world are closing. They are doing what Jesus said not to do, and not doing what Jesus said to do. Of course they close. Great trouble is coming. When churches close, calamity floods in — and you must revive them all. Why? Because it is God’s will. The church must be saved, and people must be saved. What kind of era is coming? An era of mental illness. Everyone will be afflicted with it, and only the gospel can address it.

Main Point

From now on — first. Keep praying the 7 Bartizans. Keep praying. ① The absolute watchtower will emerge. That is the answer. Continue this prayer, and keep praying the 7 journeys, and ② the absolute journey becomes visible. This is the eternal disciple. Continuing this prayer, seeing the guideposts is important — but even more so, ③ the absolute guidepost becomes visible. That is the answer.

1. Absolute Bartizan

What is the absolute watchtower for me?

1) Romans 16:25
Christ before eternity — this is my watchtower. Christ who took on flesh. Christ who was victorious on the cross. Christ who will stand as the returning Lord. Christ who will stand as the Judge. This is the watchtower. The absolute watchtower. What happens then? “The offspring of the woman will bruise the serpent’s head.” “Go and offer the blood sacrifice.” “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and you shall call him Immanuel.” The absolute watchtower emerges.

2) Romans 16:26
What has been hidden is now revealed. The eternal things. What was given only to me, only to you.

3) Romans 16:27
Forever and ever — the watchtower is firmly given. That’s enough, isn’t it?

2. Absolute Journey

Walking this journey, the absolute journey emerges.

1) 1 Thessalonians 2:19
This is the absolute journey. You evangelized — and that saved soul is eternal. This is the journey you walk. The soul that was saved through you is eternal.

2) Acts 13:1–12, 16:16–18, 19:8–20
Heal diseases that doctors cannot cure. Heal mental illness and demon possession that politicians cannot resolve. Heal incurable diseases that science cannot address. These are Nephilim diseases. The people saved from these are eternal. This is the journey we walk. This is the absolute journey.

3) Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8
More importantly — in Hong Kong, Asia, and across the whole world, there are disciples within every synagogue. Finding them is the eternal thing. You don’t need mass evangelism. Find the disciples God has prepared — people who can become 24/25/eternal disciples. That is it. This is the absolute journey.

3. Absolute Guidepost

From this point, revival comes.

1) John 19:30 — Start
First. The Calvary Mountain guidepost. This is where great answers must begin to come. “It is finished.” Every curse, every past, present, and future burden you were meant to carry — all ended. Therefore, the area where you struggle most becomes the starting point. This is the start. Never, ever miss this. This is the absolute guidepost.

2) Acts 1:3 — Mission
What comes next? The Acts 1:3 guidepost. Now it is time to find your absolute mission. Even just one absolute mission that can save the world.

3) Acts 2:41
The Upper Room guidepost. Acts 2:41 — 3,000 disciples. Pastors, try making a plan. Your church may not be able to gather 3,000 people, so plan to save 3,000 disciples. Is there not even one disciple in a university in America? That disciple will not be shaken. Find just one, and that means 5,000. If I were there, I would launch a movement to find 5,000 disciples across America. How do you get in? Send the essential gospel message to 5,000 universities, and disciples will emerge from there. We are missing out on an enormous blessing.

4) Acts 11:19
The fourth guidepost. This is about full revival. Build world parishes. Don’t just use associate pastors as errand runners — create parishes and send them out. This is no small matter. World parishes — just open your eyes in a place like Hong Kong, and remarkable things happen. Right now, almost every associate pastor in churches worldwide is in a position where they’ll eventually have to leave. That’s the wrong system. You need a system where they can stay permanently. That’s where things have gone wrong from the very beginning — and the global church continues to miss every blessing because of it. Ministers and disciples who have come from Hong Kong, Asia, America, and Europe — build world parishes. You need to understand this blessing. If a church in America has 10 elders, 9 of them should be Americans. That’s the reason for living in America. Having no American elders and only Korean elders meeting daily and quarreling — simply put, you are missing every blessing. Change your thinking, and the work will happen.

In about 2–3 years, I plan to properly raise up multi-ethnic lay leaders from around the world. Train them through our RU program and appoint elders. We keep appointing people carelessly — that must stop. In Hong Kong and throughout Asia, build an RU that raises up properly trained lay leaders. Generally, lay leaders can be recognized by the local church — but indirectly, they should complete the RU program. Every blessing is being missed. Just open your eyes and God fills it. “Open your mouth and I will fill it.” “Look east and west, north and south — I will give it.” “Walk the length and breadth — I will give it.” We just need to open our eyes a little more. We keep missing the important things and continuing with the unimportant. It’s truly a pity. Before you lies an enormous blessing that still remains. You must make a decision this time. 24 disciples, 25 disciples, eternal disciples, disciples who hold onto God’s absolute will — this is what this Hong Kong and Asia conference is about.

5) Acts 13:1–12
The fifth — establish a guidepost that completely breaks the power of darkness. Build it now. Build healing into it, and everything will revive.

6) Acts 16:6–10
The Macedonian guidepost.

7) Acts 19:21
The Roman guidepost. All of these are connected to revival. Establish the absolute guideposts.

Conclusion

Let me close. Do not lose the covenant you received this time. 24 disciples riding the 5 streams. 25 disciples enjoying the power that transcends time and space. Eternal disciples who see God’s absolute plan. That is everything. You only need to confirm it. I am looking at this Hong Kong and Asia conference and confirming many blessings.

1) 777 Age — Open the era of 777.

2) 3 Courtyards — Open the era of the three courtyards: 237 / Healing / Summit. Pray this for 24 hours.

3) Weekend — Open the Friday-Saturday-Sunday era. This is content to keep praying. It means praying 24 hours.

4) Healing — And now — though it’s a repeated point — specifically open the era of healing. My core members and assistants who are with me right now — aligned with what is happening in Busan, hold a Healing Camp and conference in your churches too. Together. It must be done. That’s why I said let’s celebrate. “I’ll come on Friday — let’s celebrate.” Do it once, and you can establish the absolute watchtower, journey, and guidepost through which an extraordinary door opens. Now the method of outward evangelism must change.

5) Holy Meditation — Open the era of holy meditation. What is it? Open the era of meditation.

This is the message for disciples in Hong Kong, Asia, and the whole world.

Why must we open the 777 era? Because the global church is not doing what Jesus taught.

Why must we open the era of the three courtyards? Because there is no 24-hour system for the sick, for multi-ethnic peoples, and for the Remnant.

Why must we open the Friday-Saturday-Sunday era? When else will you have your 40 days of concentration? When will you focus? All of it is being missed right now.

Why open the Healing era? Doctors heal the disease that appears in the body — they cannot heal the cause or the future.

Why open the Meditation era? It is the method of world evangelization. It is the method of finding those who need healing. The meditation era — also the method of helping the sick. There are many people suffering spiritually without saying a word. This is how to help them.

These three things are the message of this Hong Kong and Asia conference. Let me say it again. I can see all your faces here — only the important ones are sitting in this room. Hold firmly to 24 disciples, 25 disciples, and eternal disciples. Open your eyes a little more — just hold on and the answers become visible. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ — may the blessing you will enjoy begin from today. You are people who have received God’s blessing. The greatest grace is about to begin. Let us pray.

Prayer: May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, the infinite love of God, and the powerful working of the Holy Spirit be always with all the ministers of the Lord gathered at the Hong Kong and Asia conference, upon the Remnant, and especially upon the people of many nations — from now unto eternity. Amen.

Introduction: “Incurable → Unforgettable Wounds → Actual Healing”

We don’t necessarily need to concern ourselves with Shincheonji, but we’ve confirmed that many Christians — even pastors, ministers, their wives, and children — have ended up there. Of course, people who have strayed from the covenant end up going there. It’s understandable that people who can’t find their footing anywhere else go there, but the question is why they get entangled in it. There are things we should take note of. Simply put, they continuously dig in through a one-on-one organizational approach. What should we do? That’s something we can confirm. However, there’s really no need to do that just to save people. Today’s lectures 1, 2, and 3 are important to listen to carefully. The topic is “New Members and Wounds.”

Unforgettable Wounds — Everyone has them, especially among new members. These wounds can exist. So you need to help release them as you open the Friday-Saturday-Sunday era. Because you have the answers to resolve these, revival or no revival doesn’t matter. If you do this right, people will inevitably come alive.

1. Family Suicide — Someone in the family committed suicide. In some cases, it was the mother. How would that feel? Even if a mother commits suicide when you’re an adult it becomes a wound, but this happened in childhood. Then a stepmother comes in, and the situation develops. Growing up in that environment is not really living. This person cannot become normal. Now they’ve received the gospel. They need to be healed.

2. Mental Illness — A family member with mental illness. This is not a small wound for the family. We need to take this seriously.

3. Epilepsy — A family member with epilepsy. The whole family suffers. It varies by severity — some people collapse every day. Some of you may have never seen an epileptic episode. It’s not something you commonly see. I once witnessed a friend suddenly have a seizure at a gathering. The sight itself was a shock to me. I didn’t know what to do. I wasn’t a believer at the time, so I couldn’t even pray. I was so flustered. Later, his older sister invited us for a meal — we all knew why.

4. Disability — Having a disabled person in the family is not an easy thing.

5. Developmental Disability — Having a child with developmental disabilities means the whole family quietly carries that burden. Especially the parents — particularly the mother — are exhausted. They are essentially tied down 24 hours a day. I found it difficult just witnessing it briefly. These people need a specific, accurate message.

6. Shamanism (Spirit Sickness) — Having a family member afflicted with shamanic spirit sickness affects the whole household. It’s something people can’t talk about openly, and it’s an extremely difficult burden.

7. Addiction — Things that happen with children. An addiction develops, and one day you realize your child is a full-blown drug addict — incurable, too far gone, essentially abandoned. The family’s pain is immense. In America, there was a child who seemed fine growing up but became a drug addict and can do nothing. It’s heartbreaking for the parents.

8. Incurable Disease — In special cases, being struck with a rare, incurable disease.

9. Divorce — It’s more common abroad, but divorce still leaves wounds. In Korean society especially, this is a significant wound.

These situations seem almost impossible to heal. They go on suffering their whole lives. However, when we look at this, there are people who have actually been healed. You are doing ministry facing these realities, and many new members carry these kinds of wounds.

Introduction (continued) — Cause and Condition

You already know the cause — that’s a great blessing. Non-believers don’t even know the cause. You know the cause, but you don’t fully know how to heal these conditions. And because you’ve tried many times without success, you’ve given up. The parents of such children even say things like, “I need to outlive this child before I can die” — that’s how deep the sorrow runs.

(1) 12 Causes — As you know, there are 12 strategies of Satan.

(2) 5 Additional Causes — Matthew 12 shows that a house has been built. 2 Corinthians 10 shows that a fortress has been erected. Beyond that, the influence of the god of this world and the ruler of this world is at work. And it has even entered the church, as seen in Galatians 2:10–20.

Continuation — Imprinting, Rooting, Becoming a Way of Life

What must be noted is that instead of healing, the situation actually continues to deepen the imprinting, rooting, and entrenchment of darkness. The very things that should be removed are being reinforced.

Focus on Unrelated Scripture

Even the Word of God — there’s much of it — but the focus is placed on scriptures unrelated to healing. These three realities make it impossible for people to receive the Word. The Word needs to enter, but it can’t. Because it’s all unrelated. Only when the pure gospel is heard can they breathe at all.

However, we must not lose sight of:
① Biblical evidence of healing is abundant. We believe this and hold onto the covenant.
② Historical evidence — figures like Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan were healed.
③ Field evidence — in our own movement, over 500 people who were afflicted with shamanism have returned to Christ. They absolutely could not return on their own. Yet they truly came back to Christ.

So carry this important mission. Pastors and ministers’ wives especially need to pray earnestly about this.

Main Point — Change the Watchtower!

How can this be done? We need to know the principle by which healing occurs. What is it? Change the watchtower. This is the only way.

1. Re-Creation (40 Days, 10 Days, Acts 13/16/19)

The watchtower must be changed — and it cannot be changed by anything other than the power of re-creation. What did Christ focus on for 40 days? The disciples came down and prayed fervently for 10 days, and the Upper Room revival happened. Looking closely at Acts 13/16/19, Paul did this first — before evangelizing, he dismantled the watchtower of darkness.

This is scientifically possible. We keep doing other things instead. So three things:

1. Root Healing — Healing the root cause.
2. Imprint Healing — Healing what has been imprinted.
3. Re-Creation Healing (2 Cor. 5:17) — “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

The principle, once understood, is quite scientific. Take blood pressure — medication suppresses it but doesn’t heal it. That suppression itself is a side effect. True healing means the pressure doesn’t rise at all. Same with diabetes, same with cancer — removing a tumor is not a cure. You need to build up the fundamental power to overcome it. Immunity is key. Prayer powerfully activates the brain and spirit. Deep breathing builds immunity. Even light exercise — I personally do 5 minutes every hour — builds enormous energy and immunity. A little support goes a long way.

2. The Authority of the Name of Jesus Christ — My Watchtower

More importantly, the authority of the name of Jesus Christ must become your watchtower. This is immense. When this happens, strength begins to flow in spirit and body.

– Acts 3:1–6 — Peter, after receiving the power of prayer, overturned the root. He fixed his gaze and said: “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
– Acts 8:4–8 — Philip preached Christ, and the people listened with one accord. Evil spirits were cast out.
– Acts 13:1–12 — The darkness collapsed.
– Acts 16:16–18 — In the name of Jesus Christ, a demon was cast out through authoritative prayer.
– Acts 19:8–20 — Incurable diseases began to be healed.

The authority of the name of Jesus Christ became the watchtower. A former Buddhist head monk gave his testimony: the name of Jesus Christ — that is everything. He prayed continually in that name, using the discipline he had from chanting — and it worked.

3. The Watchtower of Proclaiming the Word

Third — and very important. Hold the watchtower of proclaiming the Word for yourself and others.

– Ezekiel 37:1–10 — “Son of man, can these bones live?” Ezekiel didn’t say yes or no. He said, “O Lord God, You know.” So just proclaim the Word. Believe and proclaim. The Word is God. The Word created all things. The Word became flesh. The Word is alive and powerful — spirit, soul, marrow — it can heal even cancer. The Word of the Lord endures forever.
– Isaiah 62:6–12 — “I have set watchmen on your walls.” A watchman alerts people when crisis comes. You must deliver God’s Word. When? You don’t need to know when.
– Hebrews 4:12 — The Word of God is living and active.
– Acts 2:42 — Following the apostles’ teaching — the flow of the Word working.
– Acts 19:21, 23:11, 27:24 — “You must also see Rome.” God endorses the Word you hold onto. “Be bold — you must testify in Rome.” “Do not be afraid — you must stand before Caesar.” The root of the sick is being overturned. You are not doing it. The Word does it — scientifically, the blessing of re-creation is being delivered.

Conclusion

Help people experience three things:

1. Acts 9:1–15 — The moment of meeting Christ, everything is finished. This person overcomes darkness. Darkness flees wherever this person goes.

2. Philippians 3:1–21 — The moment of meeting Christ: “To live is fine, to die is fine.” Paul even said dying is better, but living to serve the church is also fine. Everything he once boasted in, he realized it had kept him from knowing Christ. Now he presses on toward the prize of the upward call, because our citizenship is in heaven.

3. 2 Corinthians 12:1–10 (Grace) — Guide people to this level. So deep in prayer that pain and problems don’t matter. Paul described it as the third heaven. At this point, tremendous healing or tremendous grace occurs. And if the problem isn’t resolved? Paul’s thorn wasn’t removed either. But God gave him great grace — grace to save the world. His conclusion: “I will boast in my weakness, for when I am weak, then I am strong.”

Someday you will grow old, get sick, and pass away. At that moment, boldly tell the next generation: “I am grateful. Thank God.” We face difficulties in life — that is God’s grace.

The root of the sick must be completely changed. Your health too. Overturn what has been imprinted. This doesn’t mean you don’t need doctors — doctors handle what is visible, and that is important. But the invisible root healing — that is what pastors, missionaries, and ministers are called to do. Boldly deliver it to new members: through the Word of God, through the authority of the name of Christ Jesus, through the power of God’s re-creation.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we give You thanks. Work with Your power upon the ministers entrusted with this important calling. Heal the roots of myself and the congregation, heal what has been imprinted, and let healing come through the power of re-creation. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
