Your Kingdom Come

Matthew 6:9-10. “This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come'”


In Today’s Word, Jesus instructs us to pray for God’s kingdom to come because He wants us to understand the spiritual conflict defining our world. While God is the ultimate Sovereign, Scripture reveals that there is a temporary kingdom on earth ruled by Satan, who is described as the “ruler of the kingdom of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). This dark dominion was established after Satan and his angels were defeated in a heavenly battle against Michael and thrown down to the earth, where they have been leading the world astray ever since (Revelation 12:7-9).

Satan’s goal is to claim the human race for himself, trapping people as children of the “father of lies” (John 8:44). He works tirelessly to blind minds so that they cannot see the light of the gospel (2 Corinthians 4:4). By stealing the blessing of worshiping the only true God, he forces humanity into the worship of idols and self, ultimately seeking to steal, kill, and destroy lives (John 10:10).

Under this influence, people struggle to escape a nature defined by lust, greed, and immorality—actions that invite God’s wrath and lead toward eternal condemnation (Colossians 3:5-6; Revelation 14:9-11). This spiritual darkness manifests in disasters, calamities, and “generational curses” that pass from parents to children (Exodus 20:3-5). Satan maintains this control through a “dark economy,” deceptive religious frames, and cultural snares (Ephesians 6:12). He even attempts to distort the true gospel into a watered-down version to stop life-saving evangelism.

However, when you uncover the mystery of praying for the kingdom of God, His power begins to manifest exactly where you are. The kingdom of God arrives wherever Jesus is recognized as the Christ (Matthew 10:7). The moment you accepted Him, His kingdom was established within you, and the Holy Spirit began to dwell in your heart (1 Corinthians 3:16). From that point forward, your life is no longer defined by the world’s chaos, but by the righteousness, peace, and joy found in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). This kingdom is both a present reality and a future hope; when you leave this earth, you will enter the eternal dwelling place Jesus has prepared for you in His Father’s house (John 14:2-3).

Jesus prioritized this teaching so much that He spoke about the kingdom for forty days after His resurrection (Acts 1:3). He wants us to live with the perspective of heaven, recognizing that we are citizens of a higher realm (Philippians 3:20). Even while we reside on earth, we are supported by the background of His kingdom. Jesus watches over us with eyes like blazing fire (Revelation 2:18), and God dispatches armies of angels to fulfill His plans for our lives.

Because of this, you do not have to worry or be shaken by the darkness of this world. When you experience His kingdom today, you begin to see that your problems are actually God-ordained opportunities. God has granted you the “authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10:19). In the name of Jesus, your True King, you are called to bind the “strong man” first (Matthew 12:28-30). Through this authority, you can help the spiritually blind to see, free the captives, and lead those in dark prisons into the light (Isaiah 42:7).

You have been appointed as an ambassador of Christ, a representative of His kingdom commissioned to reconcile the world to God (2 Corinthians 5:20). To experience this daily, you must discover the mystery of focused prayer. Like David, you can engage with God in three distinct ways: in the morning, asking for strength from His kingdom (Psalm 5:3); throughout the day, walking in His presence (Psalm 23:1-6); and at night, giving thanks for the fulfillment of His Word (Psalm 17:3). As you make this your lifestyle, you will carry the blessings of the kingdom directly into the harvest field of the world.


Prayer. Lord, I thank You for Your greatest answer—Your kingdom. May Your kingdom come upon me, my family, my studies, and my workplace today. I pray that Your kingdom servants will rise up to engage in this movement of grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Regional Evangelization

Prayer Journal: January 23, 2026
22. Oct. 2024 237 Tuesday Disciple Training, Lecture 2
Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 16:19


There is no need to be excessively obsessed with church revival. Also, if one is only engrossed in the revival of an individual church as if doing business, various problems will come. However, the church must be revived. Your church must be revived so that you can do missions. It would be fine if we just ate, lived, and died among ourselves, but in order to do world missions, the church must be revived. Therefore, we must start anew with the meaning and content of church revival. The most important key to church revival is “local evangelization.”

In 1 Corinthians 16:19, Priscilla did everything alone. The Corinthian church was a church with a considerable amount of talk. It was a church with a great deal of conflict. It was a church that made up stories with various words. They even talked about having to be circumcised, and—as for meat available on the market, to put it simply, it came from temples—whether it was okay to eat it or not? They even fought over the Holy Communion; at any rate, it was a church that did nothing but fight. One figure emerged there. That is the couple Priscilla and Aquila. Priscilla saved the church, but what role did she play? It was her house. A bartizan to save the region—Priscilla and the church in her house—completely saved the region. You must now start anew. It is God’s will for your church to do world evangelization and be revived as it is in the Bible. You may cut off all other concerns entirely. What else would you pay attention to? There is no need for other thoughts. You must save the church. To save the church, you must save the congregants, but as you try to save the church, only by saving the region can you save the church. I hope you use this for reference.

The 3 Organizations, the Seventh-day Adventists, and Buddhism are gathering tremendous people while making money. The 3 Organizations are digging into the corporate side, so they do not fit with us; and the Seventh-day Adventists are digging in incredibly. While healing through several days of training, they charge over 1 million won, and like we have conferences, they were spread out. In places like Buddhism, they are creating many things right now while talking about food for the sake of health. Even when they do it, they do it very scientifically. They analyzed food sold on the market and food made at temples. Surprisingly, there are no nutrients in the vegetables sold on the market. So they say you shouldn’t eat such things—what kind of food is this? It’s trash—and say to buy the temple’s items. They sell soybean paste and many other things. In New Jersey, the churches are all tiny. Because they gather dozens of people, let alone missions, maintaining the field is difficult. The pastors are afraid of moving. Why? Because money goes into it—things have come to such a situation, and a meditation organization entered New Jersey. In one go, 1,000 people gathered. This is the situation.

▣ Introduction: 300% Bartizan
Now, then, there is no reason for us to be unable to do what even Priscilla could do. First, start. Do not just build a bartizan, but a 300% bartizan; then you will certainly be victorious.

1) Paul – Acts 13/16/19, Acts 17/18/19
Then, there is a need to look at Paul’s case, is there not? For Paul, in Acts 13/16/19 and then Acts 17/18/19, the perfect answers all came out. Here, firstly, he receives the guidance of the Holy Spirit perfectly. Next, he analyzed the field properly. And he attaches one disciple. That one person is enough. This is how the work continued on and on. To what extent did it happen? Those who reported him accused him saying, “Those who cause an uproar have come here,” or “The ones causing a plague have come here,” right? That means many works occurred. So I hope you truly think about this.

2) Darakbang → Regional Bartizan
In my case, starting from Darakbang, the Darakbang is also a bartizan. However, a large regional bartizan—this too can be done in diverse ways that do not deviate from the gospel and the Word.

3) Materials Team, Tychicus, Overseas Team
So right now, what I am doing is something I do every week.
The Materials Team is gathering. When the three courtyards are opened, it’s about what we will do. Should we not prepare that? They meet every week. They are made to read books, lectures are given, and those who listen are made to give presentations; it is like this. A solid preparation is being made. Focusing on doctors…
Because only then can healing be done…

Next, a Tychicus meeting is being held in Busan. To put it simply, Tychicus is a meeting that gives missions. Another one is being done. An Overseas Team meets with me every week. We have meals together. So, they are made to give presentations, and I also have much to learn. And I give them a message. That is also fine, but it’s about becoming close to these people. It’s about getting to know those people; also, by doing messages and forums with these people, the overall flow can be easily seen.

This is a preparation for the three courtyards and the three-day weekend age. It has been a few years. One must prepare while praying for a long time. Because it must be done, did Jesus not speak of the 3 courtyards? While getting angry—because of that, all the organizations are in a weekend war; we must do this on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. When this is done, truly amazing things happen.
3,000 Disciples / Busan and Seoul / 450,000 Families – How is this made? Regional bartizan; so, going exactly into Yeongdo, at that time everyone read the newspaper. Is it not simple? I put a piece of paper inside the newspaper. A question for the residents of Yeongdo—there are about 13 of them. I put that in. So it went into all of Yeongdo at once. And I put in the place for Bible study. Works had no choice but to happen. Truly, 3,000 disciples arose just like that.
You only need to have a bartizan. If only there is the bartizan God desires.
Then, since rumors were bound to spread, they first started gathering in Busan, and an average of 500 people gathered. Mostly pastors and their wives; then, as the political wind blew, God sifted them, and it became a situation where only those who would do evangelism remained. In Seoul, I came up and continued the evangelism movement centered on Yewon Church, and right now the number of people who officially listen to my message is 450,000. Some say it is a bit more, but that is the smallest estimate. These days, counting the number is easy. One can tell by looking at those who listen to the message on the internet. Because some people download and watch together, the number is higher; that is something that can’t be helped; because we don’t know, for now, it is coming out this way.

▣ Main: Two Types of Bartizans – Healing and Summit (Synagogue)
Looking at it that way, what kind of bartizan should be made?
Two types of bartizans must be made. It is written that way in the Bible. Healing and Summit. Paul went into synagogues to make Summits and went toward the healing side. He received guidance very, very well. He received the guidance of the Holy Spirit perfectly. These two are enough. From there, the sure gospel was preached. Thankfully, because of the persecution, only real disciples come. That makes the effect even greater. The more one is cursed at, only the real disciples remain. The fakes all go. Even so, God has never stopped the gospel movement. At one time, they even took (covered) Gwangmyeong Church, and they even took (covered) Yeouido Church, right? They even went to Pastor Kim OO’s church—the broadcasts were like that. Those churches are standing strong. The gospel does not disappear. What must we do? We must do evangelism more properly, but how should we do it? You must do this.

1. Remnant Healing – “Ruins (Scientific Approach)”
It is Remnant healing. What do you think must be healed? For Remnants, the most important thing is that they are in a situation where they cannot pray. Genesis 3 is that frightening. Because they are already born with original sin, their spiritual state is a state of ruins. Because parents pour all sorts of things on top of this, they have no choice but to go crazy. Therefore, for Remnants at least, you must build these three bartizans for them.
1) Scar – Steppingstone
So that this scar becomes a steppingstone, a very scientific thing must be presented as a tool for preaching the gospel. This is the best method to use for Remnants. In providing proof, there must first be a scientific proof so that when people ask, they go, “Ah, I see.” Thus, the message must be given after opening the door of the heart. The Word is not science, but it is supra-science.
2) Talent
And the second thing that must be done is—no matter what anyone says—the most important thing for a Remnant coming to receive training is to properly discover their talent. So they do forums on books at a fast pace. Within that, they find their own thing. Those great figures—forums must be done quickly. At a fast pace, and the culture of each country—one must grasp it quickly. The best thing for grasping culture is the feasts. Therefore, we must teach what the three feasts are. So as I mentioned here earlier, Remnants can almost never pray. Therefore, just imprinting what worship is and what prayer is gives great success. They must be made into ultra-elites.
3) Meditation Movement
So, meditation must be done, but what the meditation movement is must be taught. It is making them into ultra-elites. “You must do the meditation movement; only then can the Word of God spread”—when doing this, three things must be taught. ① Prayer that saves the brain, ② Prayer that saves the spirit, ③ Prayer that saves the body—you must do this. In my case yesterday, I couldn’t sleep much, so after having a meal, I slept for 2-3 hours in the early evening, and when I opened my eyes, it was around midnight. From then until now, I haven’t slept. Just continued prayer; you must definitely teach this to Remnants.
Then, if these Remnants realize what worship and prayer are, finally something called “only” comes. Only when this is discovered can they win. Right? Currently in Darakbang, the pastors actually possess the secret of “only” evangelism. Just because it is in the Bible doesn’t mean anyone can do it. The Word must work; where the Word does not work, it is of no use. Aren’t the Holy Spirit and the work of the Holy Spirit different stories? The Holy Spirit is eternally the Holy Spirit, but only when He works can we come to life. At that time, the door to save other people opens. We call that uniqueness. When that happens, wherever you go in the world, a masterpiece that can save the world comes out. We call that re-creation. Therefore, it must be done. This must be done by making a bartizan. Then, works must occur to the extent that unbelieving parents look and say, “I should send my child to church.” The secret of this ultra-elite cannot be given anywhere else.
If the spiritual state is a ruin, what’s the use of giving? One must know it is a ruin. Right? As soon as one is born, they get caught in Genesis 3. Right? Therefore, they cannot be saved by other things. They are saved by what God promised; otherwise, they cannot be saved. Therefore, the word for the one He would send is Christ. Right? Otherwise, there is no way. Struggling is religion, and the more one struggles, the more it is a loss. It is a ruin. Therefore, you must definitely take responsibility. Individuals are doing this here and there. It can be done alone. You must grasp this precisely.

2. New Believer Healing – “Witness”
Next, in fact, the most important key to revival that saves this region is not the church leaders. A church leader is a mission worker, right? A church leader is a field missionary and a fellow worker. But where would the greatest secret to bringing revival be? It is new believer healing. Very many important things are contained here. For these new believers, if possible, it is good to set up witnesses so these people hear quickly. Just leave the people who have believed for a long time; for new believers now, it is important what kind of witness is set up. It gives a great influence. Therefore, witnesses must be set up well. A witness who speaks only the gospel—if possible, I do not set up a person with a motive. No matter how well they do, that motive is delivered. Therefore, it is so good to set up this witness who truly preaches the gospel for the new believers.
1) Message
Therefore, your message is important. No matter what anyone says, it is the message. When I do a message, after finishing all the preparation, I refer to three things.
(1) New believer – There could be a new believer; how would this new believer understand this? Because yesterday’s sermon was too difficult a sermon, a message must be given separately to the new believer.
Matthew 16:16: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”—when they confess this, three answers come now. “You are Peter (Rock), and on this rock I will build My church,” “the authority of Hades shall not overcome you,” and “I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” There is a church called Gwangju Jungang Church, right? It is the largest church in Gwangju. I once did a revival meeting there. The senior pastor jokingly said to me, “Since this is your first sermon, doesn’t giving the keys mean the right to govern?” I said, “You are right, but that’s not all there is. It doesn’t say use it for governing. And many other parts for use in governing are appearing. Those words are also right, but Jesus just said He gives the keys.” Keys are given to open. Right? Not just any keys, but the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and what is happening now? John 14:16 must definitely be told to them. The Counselor Holy Spirit is with you; you must believe. One more—finally, one thing must be done. Acts 1:3: “The blessing of the throne is coming upon you as your background…”
(2) Multi-ethnic – And one must definitely be conscious of the multi-ethnic. For the multi-ethnic, two bartizans: collapse the bartizans that were in the world—otherwise, it won’t work. Build the bartizan God gave and go; only then can you go and evangelize.
(3) Sick person – One must definitely speak to the sick person as well. “Do 24″—that is the answer. Prayer 24, leave life and death to God—so you must definitely refer to the three people. The sick…
2) Interview (Mission)
And then, an interview is held. From now on, I intend to interview new believers thoroughly. Although they are new believers, I am doing it centered on young adults. For these new believers, in the interview, a mission that fits that person exactly must be given. A mission that makes their eyes pop must be given. “Save your household”—that is the very first mission. “Do not resent your parents; stop resenting your household; it is about saving your household.” “It has been 3 years since I spoke to my father”—”It’s your fault.” Living in the same house but not speaking to the father for 3 years—there are many such houses. Why? Because he keeps saying “old fogey” (꼰대) talk—even without the gospel, he keeps saying old fogey talk. The kids are at their wits’ end. It becomes: “It’s better to just not talk.” Go beyond that—”Think of him as pitiful; it could only be so because he lived a difficult life in that era; you must embrace him; don’t try to receive comfort; you must receive God’s comfort; and save other people; the comfort that appears on TV—that’s not comfort; you must receive God’s comfort”—one must make this clear.
3) Problem – Answer
Especially for new believers, while doing that, what must definitely be done for new believers is that when they ask about a problem, they talk about having a problem. One must truly do this. Because there is no church that does this, there is an organization that does only this. It’s not a church, yet people flock in droves, right? They talked about their problem and the answer is given. From what I heard, it isn’t even an answer. In giving an answer, what would the greatest answer be? It is that that problem is not a problem. Right? Because there is an answer…

3. Healing the Sick – “24 System”
While building these bartizans, the third thing is important. It is healing the sick. For these sick people, the most important thing is a 24 system. Why do urgent patients come to Busan? Because there is a 24 system. They come. So for those who need to focus a bit, I think it should be done that way. Also, if possible, what is the goal? They should get well, go out, and be able to do it alone. Right? That is the goal. The doctor’s goal is to cure the disease. Therefore, this bartizan for healing the sick is very important. If possible, specialists must be utilized. Utilize doctors if possible; to put it simply, they are medical professionals. One utilizes them. In this way, a tremendous field is seen. You are missing out, but you don’t have to do it. You can do it by planting a mission; for example, in Seoul, isn’t a person like Elder Kim Shin-tae a doctor? That person also has a good academic background. This person is a respiratory specialist. But right now, this person is teaching respiratory prayer. That’s how he can give answers to those people. Like that, this is very important. You must start making this from now on.
1) The Bible
How is it in the Bible?
(1) Matthew 8:17, Jesus started by healing the sick from the very beginning.
(2) Acts 3:1-12, and the early church also, when starting first—it’s such an eternal answer, but they healed only this person.
(3) Acts 8:4-8, opening the door to Samaria is simple. If you heal the sick, the door opens.
(4) Acts 13:5-12, and look at what Paul did. In Acts 13:5-12, he healed a neighborhood fallen into darkness.
(5) Acts 16:16-18, one person was possessed by a demon and was shaking up the whole neighborhood, and he healed that person.
(6) Acts 19:8-20, he even healed incurable diseases. It is very important.
2) 24 / 25 / Eternity
Regarding how it is done, I told you earlier, right? 24, then 25 comes. Then there is no more need to learn. When 25 comes, from then on, a masterpiece is left. So there is only one way to save the brain. The way to save the brain and the brain is prayer and correct breathing. Your brain stopped at age 25. It continues to collapse. That’s why dementia comes a lot. It can’t be helped. So your lungs also continue to collapse. Even without getting sick, they collapse. And your body and muscles also continue to collapse. One day, a person becomes strange. They must be saved. Saving the spirit is nothing but prayer. Right? These two combined save the body. Is it not so? We must teach this. Since they can’t do it, just gather and do it.
3) Individualization
The most important thing is to align all fields to this healing of the sick and individualize it. This is the answer for healing. It can be done anywhere.
If a doctor opens their eyes, it can be done at a hospital. Elder Noh Hyo-jin of Mirae Dermatology in Yeouido—I saw that such a system exists inside. I see that couple is complete gospel. What’s very interesting is that Elder Noh Hyo-jin received the gospel in Busan. He received the gospel in Busan and attended church in Busan. Now he came to Seoul. He came, and he was being ordained as an elder—it’s not an easy thing. At the elder ordination, I just hold one microphone and place my hand, right? I looked, and it was Noh Hyo-jin. It was interesting. But Yewon Church is great. Now the couple is completely mission workers. It’s great; so, as much as you make up your mind, you can truly save people. Quietly, quietly—this power is tremendous, I tell you. If you do that to an individual, it is tremendous. It’s a bit difficult, but if a doctor does that, it’s so effective. Because this doctor doesn’t know prayer and breathing, he can’t help. One must breathe to live, and it ends depending on how one breathes. There are people who sigh whenever they are bored. To put it simply in vulgar terms, that’s an “unlucky” person. Why? Because a sigh itself is already dying. What’s worrying is, looking at the breathing of Kim Jong-un in North Korea, it looked like he wouldn’t live long. So when going to a hospital, from long ago, they check the breathing. How do they breathe? That’s what we learned at school. If you hear the breathing, everything comes out. It is important to individualize this.
If you just do a little bit of Edit / Plan / Design, it comes out.
Just help with this; if you leave sick people alone, they go to strange organizations. Therefore, you quietly, quietly make a sure bartizan. So when you look at the healing ministry being done at the Seventh-day Adventists, most are famous doctors. This is utilizing them. What is the goal? It’s putting them into the Seventh-day Adventist Church. One must put in Christ, but since they put in Seventh-day Adventism, problems have no choice but to come. Therefore, there are only two things in our evangelizing a region: healing and Summit. So, one knows healing well, but the reason Paul went into synagogues is there. You must start drawing the picture from now on.

▣ Conclusion: Summit – Bartizan Movement
What is the conclusion? Summit; you must draw the picture. Healing is something you just do, and you must draw the picture for making Summits.
1) Region
A blueprint for saving the region must be perfectly made. So when you look—must a blueprint for saving the region come out to build a house? The picture must be drawn exactly. In my case, at first, I had this thought. I thought I should go into tourist spots in Busan City by turns every day. But that was not just a difficult task; it was absurd. Whom would I find and how would I go in? So the picture changed again. Gradually, it goes as it is in the Bible. So going into Yeongdo, I did an overall analysis. So I sent letters first. I started by making houses for Bible study, and at first, I put up a sign. “Bible study in progress,” “which day of the week, what time”—I made several such places. Literally, an explosion occurred. A complete explosion occurred. You must draw a regional picture.
2) Workplace / Company / Hospital (Prepared ones)
Draw that, and also you quietly and with level; for your workplace or company—the thing to be most careful about is that wherever you go, eating and playing are the main things. However, there is absolutely no need to advertise. There is a prepared one inside. You must remember. You must make it so only this person comes. Already when you look—opening a Darakbang and saying come in large numbers—it won’t work. Also, you shouldn’t do that at a workplace. So, what the Jews did for a long time—they gathered after finishing everything at a place called a “lodge.” Then a disciple brings another disciple. In our terms, a prepared one brings another prepared one. This power is incredibly great. Right? So to make the wind of the Holy Spirit blow stealthily, these people spread out invisibly even when they work.
You must definitely do it this way. Sometimes, there is no need to bring them immediately. Handle them a bit, and if they are not a prepared one, you shouldn’t do it too forcibly. There is also compelling, but a disciple is not like that. “The Lord opened Lydia’s heart”—it is this kind of person. The Ethiopian eunuch—these kinds of people; they are exactly prepared. Only by starting this way does a great wind of the Holy Spirit blow. This must definitely be kept in mind. So for people who are quietly doing a hospital, a place is not necessarily needed. You just need to make a time. These days, it’s an era where one makes appointments and has a time. How good is it? “For special counseling, for you, I will make time from when to when,” why? Because the doctor is busy and doesn’t have time to do it, he makes it intentionally. It is truly good to do. In this way, one digs in stealthily.
3) Disaster Zone (Blind Spot) – Golden Fishery
And the best thing is the disaster zone. If you look this way and dig in, it’s almost 100%. For people in this disaster zone, there is no one to help. Because they suffered a disaster after giving everything to a temple, they have nowhere to go now. Some people give all the money they have to a temple and come to church after becoming a beggar, right? Because it was a blind spot and became a disaster zone, this is actually a golden fishery. Therefore, even when going out for a camp, it is good to focus on healing a certain patient. Worshipping, preaching the gospel, then setting up a witness, setting up a real witness—I mean, if a person was healed of cancer after a doctor said it was impossible, that’s enough; set up a witness; then teach how to do healing prayer, and at that time, what must be done while looking at that person’s physical state is individualization.

You must remember this. Carry out the bartizan movement in the region.
If there are just a few, the church will clearly come to life. And now, the reason there is much talk when going to church is that they don’t do the evangelism movement. All the people who talk a lot are those who don’t do evangelism. Right? What else is there for them to do? Since they have to talk anyway, they have to say useless words. Is it not so? Women need to talk about 3 times more than men. Right? Women must talk 3 times more for this (metabolism) to go around, but since they don’t do evangelism, they have nothing to talk about except badmouthing others, right? Spending time every day—even among women, those who pray a lot do not talk much. Right? Looking at women who pray, there isn’t much talk. The ones who don’t pray talk a lot. Why? Because they have to spit it out—to absolutely do such an evangelism movement, carry out the bartizan movement.
A person I know is a man in Busan, and this person is not an ordinary person. He is a president. I mentioned him several times before, right? When I went, he was eating a lunch box. When I asked why he was eating a lunch box, he said it was to save time, and after eating the lunch box, he circles the Gukje Market. The name is “market research”—people who receive come out of there. But these disciples gather at that house. Usually, they come to the company, and once a week they come to his house. Probably Pastor Lee Seong-hun knows. The person living in Wangja Apartments—only complete disciples gather. That’s why works occurred. For a layperson, how easy is it? But because people who would receive the gospel came during the day, he said he learned so many things. Right, someone met this exactly. There is a prepared one. Do not try to speak well. It is a prepared one. They shouldn’t be won over by your eloquence. Right? You keep trying to do it with eloquence, but no. It’s better to do it while faltering. It’s okay even if they don’t understand well. Once they just meet Jesus Christ, they are changed. He met that person. He met him, and that person came back after 1 hour. “President, please give me the documents contracted this morning.” “Why?” “That is giving a loss to the president.” “Why? Is it a scam?” “It’s not that, look.” Because this person received grace, he even talks about the business. A deacon of ours who passed away in Busan—didn’t he do that too? He competed with the company employees and gave scholarships to the kids. He explained the reason for giving scholarships. “All my sons and daughters are in the North and I don’t know how they are living, so with a heart of raising my own children”—the counterpart manager was moved by this. How, even though it wasn’t his company—this person later brought information. Do you know how much money that person had? The chaebols (tycoons) come there to borrow urgent money. It’s to that extent. He ran away from North Korea with only a Bible; listening to the testimony, they were truly heart-wrenching testimonies.
If we build the bartizan God desires, the church is bound to come to life. Right? There is no one but you to do this. Right? You must do it. You’ve come this far, haven’t you?
Now we truly must do it. Until now, we moved around doing missions, but now we must do the 5,000 tribes. I will talk a bit during the last lecture. I have two announcements. Do not go too far away, and do not try to leave quickly after it ends, but leave after praying a bit. Otherwise, an accident happens. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let us build the bartizan God desires most. Now let us save the church. Thirsty souls are waiting; let us save them. In an era where the sick are wandering, let us save them. The posterity is being shaken. Let us build bartizans so that we can save them. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Hallowed Be Your Name

Matthew 6:9. “This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name'”


In Today’s Word, Jesus reveals that the most critical element of prayer is knowing exactly who your Father is. He is the Creator, the Sustainer, the Beginning and the End, and the Lord of all creation. While your Father sits on His eternal throne, He simultaneously dwells within you through His Spirit. He is a God who speaks and fulfills, walking beside you to encourage and empower. He listens to your prayers and responds in ways that surpass human understanding.

This Father is the one who destroys the power of Satan, sin, and hell in your path. He surrounds you with the horses and chariots of fire from the heavenly realms, leading your life toward an eternal purpose: to bear witness for Christ to the ends of the earth. His name is Jehovah—the all-present, all-knowing, and all-powerful God. Because His name is unlike any other, we pray, “hallowed be Your name.” There is a transformative power found in that name alone.

We see this power illustrated in the life of Moses. When God called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses offered a long list of excuses. God answered those doubts by revealing His name: “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14). By identifying Himself as the “I AM,” God was declaring that He is the Holy One who has existed from eternity past and will exist into eternity future—the very foundation of all existence. Relying on the authority of that name, Moses demonstrated God’s power in Egypt and completed his God-given mission.

At the end of his journey, Moses left the Israelites with a final confession of faith: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:4-5). This wasn’t just a commandment; it was a testimony born from a lifetime of experiencing the only true God.

You must remember that you are no longer a child of the devil; you have been legally granted the right to be a child of God. Your salvation is anchored in His name, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Therefore, do not be consumed by your present circumstances; they are merely temporary, a necessary process within the fulfillment of God’s plan. Instead, hold onto the eternal word of God, for while the grass withers and the flowers fall, the word of the Lord endures forever (Isaiah 40:8).

If you feel discouraged or tired, rely on His power to carry you. Those who hope in the Lord will find their strength renewed, enabling them to soar on wings like eagles, to run without growing weary, and to walk without fainting (Isaiah 40:31). Even now, Jesus is interceding for you, asking the Holy Father to protect you by the power of the name He was given (John 17:11).

Nothing can save, protect, or empower quite like His name. Hold firmly to it, use it in your daily life, and proclaim it to all nations. You are called to heal the world through the power of the name that is above every name.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for the name of Jesus Christ. I recognize that by the power of His name, I have the authority to overcome the world and the mission to bring people back to You. Fill me with the confidence of a child who knows their Father’s strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Personalization of the Gospel: 300 % – the Filling of the Holy Spirit

Prayer Journal: January 22, 2026
22. Oct. 2024 237 Tuesday Disciple Training, Lecture 1
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8


Introduction
Thank you. Today, we will look at three lectures while holding onto a special covenant.
If you look in the Bible, there are things where God’s work was achieved through Oneness, and there are things done alone. However, almost all the Remnants of world evangelization did it alone.
Therefore, as for the covenant you should grasp today: I alone can save the church and save the field; so, is that actually possible? How is this possible? It is because Jesus said in Acts 1:8, when only the filling of the Holy Spirit comes upon you—that is what it means. Then you will receive power.
300%→ Filling of the Holy Spirit
A tremendous secret is contained here.
The secret of 300% is contained here. When I am completely evangelized, works begin to happen 100%. If I only receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I will certainly save the field. If I certainly set up the absolute bartizan , it becomes a guidepost . From here, the evangelism movement, business, and studies all come out. It is possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, if there are church leaders here, you can save the church even alone. We keep saying, “Please help me,” or “Let’s do it by joining forces”—that is also necessary, but that is the Holy Spirit making us one; one of you can save the church.
If you look closely at the Bible and look closely at church history, one person did it.
Therefore, it is possible with this power (Acts 1:8).
Introduction: The Secret of 300%
Now, then, we must receive real answers, must we not? Then there is the secret of 300%. There are three secrets.

1) 7 Bartizans (My 100%) – 24
Jesus spoke of this. Complete Gospel—when it becomes like this, a bartizan is formed. This is the 100% for me. The fact that I received 100% of God’s answers means He gave me this. If you look closely at Acts 1:1-8:
① The secret of the Triune God appears. Right? There, ② the secret of the throne appears. He spoke of the things of the kingdom of God, right? And He said He would give power; what kind of power? It is not a simple power. It is ③ the power to resolve the past, today, and future. Right? So it is the perfect power of the gospel. That becomes my bartizan . Then not only do ④ the 5 powers arise, but ⑤ the power to overcome the one who seized the authority of the air arises. I see this as the filling of the Holy Spirit—for me, it is so. From what I enjoy, isn’t this the filling of the Holy Spirit? What is the filling of the Holy Spirit? Isn’t it 24, 25, eternity ? Right? Me being 24 in the filling of the Holy Spirit and enjoying the gospel—isn’t that the filling of the Holy Spirit? This becomes a tremendous answer. You must start setting this up from now on. He even explained all the way to the future. That is ⑥ CVIP. And to go to the ends of the earth, ⑦ the three courtyards came out. These seven things are my bartizan . Then three answers come. They certainly come.
(1) Platform – Platform; today, Pastor Yoo Byung-chan’s son and daughter-in-law—the daughter-in-law is someone who lives in Israel. From what I see, she is Ukrainian, but it seems like she went to Israel to live. Can one person save Israel? You must find the answer here. It is possible with this (Acts 1:8). You alone can save it. Church leaders must do this prayer from the start: “Even alone, I can save the pastor, the church, the field, and the posterity!” So, He gave that covenant.
(2) Watchtower Bartizan – Then, a watchtower bartizan arises through which you can save people and shine the light. Right? This arises.
(3) Antenna – And finally, communication that heals people occurs. It is the antenna. This is my 100%.

2) 7 Journeys (Field 100%) – 25
And then, one goes on a journey. I found the 7 journeys. This is the field 100%. Right? This is the 100% that saves the field. If we receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it’s not a matter of “it works” or “it doesn’t work,” is it? From now on, it’s okay even if the number of your congregants is small. As you go out to evangelize, you receive the answer first. This is important. As you go out to evangelize, you must receive the blessing first. You made up your mind to evangelize, and strength arises first. This is important. The fruit comes after that. I was so happy while preparing these three things. Why? Because it is certain…

So when I say I must go to that region and preach the gospel, what must I prepare? I found it. It is not difficult at all. I went to find high school students, right? That is why this one-page sheet of mine came out. At that time, I was also a student and had no money, so if I wrote on both sides and copied and split it, it would double, right? I went and distributed that first. That is the 100% in my own way that I prepared. That’s all there was. I wrote down the biggest worries of the kids and gave the answer through the gospel. That seems like nothing, but it spreads like crazy. And then, what is the field 100%? At that time, the field 100% meant nothing else. It was me going. So I went every day. Since I went every day, something came out of it. What is next? The kids who believe now are a mess. They don’t know the gospel at all. What’s more surprising is there are many believers among the teachers. They don’t know the gospel at all. So I explained the gospel. They are overturned. You must do this. It’s not about preparing the 300% perfectly all at once. So when I went to that Saha industrial complex, these young ladies had nowhere to go after sunset. So what kind of things would they do? Most of them came from Jeolla-do, and almost all of them had only graduated from elementary school. Ah, the answer came out immediately. Right, studying the Bible, teaching them to write, making a school—is a school something separate? If you study, it’s a school; you just need to take exams; my heart was racing. So, in preparing the field, I went first. I came back shocked. I found three buildings where I could do Bible study and teach the kids. I was walking around smirking to myself, right?

The system is important. What is the key to the system? A person who will continue—that is the key. Works happen. In one go, dozens of real disciples truly arise. There was one church next to it, and not even 30 congregants gathered there. It’s funny, right? Thirsty souls are surrounding it, but inside the church, there are only 30 congregants. Also, that person hindered my gospel movement the most. You must remember this. You must do your studies this way as well.

How important are these 7 journeys?
① The Triune God certainly works in three ways. Right? Through the fulfillment of the Word, answers to prayer, and the work of salvation—He certainly does it, right? That must become my journey. To do that, ② the 10 foundations and ③ the secrets are contained, right? The ④ assurance of winning with the power of the throne and the ⑤ flow of the throne—He clearly gave them, right? Then I can obtain ⑥ the lifelong answer and give the lifelong answer. If so, all our movements are ⑦ the camp; I have just spoken of the 7 journeys.
This is the field 100%. You must remember this. In worldly terms, how fun and how graceful is it? Because evangelism is misunderstood, it is a suffering. Some people run away. They go to a camp for the first time and then cannot go out anymore. Why? Because this (300%) did not arise; because they cannot see this (300%), they don’t possess it. Even if they go, there is no fruit. You must remember. Going on this journey through prayer—this part is 25 . This is the work of the kingdom of God promised by Christ being fulfilled. It becomes like this, right? You must have this secret. Now, when this happened, there is something that certainly comes here. What comes?
While walking this journey, three more things come out from here where the work of the kingdom of God is fulfilled.
(1) Power of the throne – The power of the throne actually begins to come out.
(2) Transcending time and space – What is seen at this time is transcending time and space. You come to see by transcending time and space.
(3) Unprecedented – There are many answers that come at this time, but three things come. Unprecedented; this meeting of yours itself is unprecedented. Right? It doesn’t exist in any country or anywhere. It’s an uproar if a conference happens once in a while, but we meet every week.

3) 7 Guideposts (System 100%) – Eternity
Finally, what is it? It is the 7 guideposts.
① Calvary, He solved everything. He truly solved it. Right? ② Mt Olive, it is the mission of the throne. ③ Mark’s Upper Room, this promise (Acts 1:8) was experienced. The 300% was experienced. Right? And what is it? A turning point of the age appears. ④ Antioch. And what is it? Missions that completely receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit begins. ⑤ In Asia, it is Acts 13. To open eyes further, God, who blocked the door, ⑥ led to Macedonia. Finally, ⑦ Rome, which possesses the most 237 nations and 5,000 tribes ; I have just spoken of the 7 guideposts. What do we call this? At each place, a precious absolute bartizan was established, and this part is the system 100%. What do we call this? It is called eternity . This kind of answer comes out.

Now, what kind of work happens if you are always praying for this?
(1) Golden Fishery – Finally, the golden fishery is seen. That place is precisely the disaster zone. That place is precisely the blind spot. Right? This is clearly seen. It’s a surprising thing. Ah, I went as an associate pastor, and if you just look, there isn’t even a partition. If you just look, it’s the Samhwa dormitory. To the extent that you can see the dormitory ladies coming and going. Pastor Cho Eun-taek saw it and said it was graceful, but the church next to it cannot save this. I made up my mind. 300%—I used a tactic. From there alone, hundreds of disciples came out. Actually, those kids were 90% of the overnight prayer meeting. Because these kids received answers, they paid tithes and were better than church leaders . So when new people kept coming, they evangelized. This is seen.
(2) Absolute Bartizan – After doing that, what is seen is the absolute bartizan . This is now the start of revival.
(3) Discipleship – What comes out from this point on? Now you only need to do one thing, right? Establish the absolute bartizan , and what comes out at this time is the discipleship movement. To make it so they can go—the key to discipleship is to make them do it as they go; ultimately, you alone can save your household—you must take that with you. Even if it doesn’t happen quickly, you must grasp that covenant. Right? Even if I am in a difficult situation, I must grasp that covenant. One of you saves the family; one of you saves your neighborhood—this is achieved. You must do this. If you always enjoy it through prayer, it comes out.

▣ Main: 300% Witness – Focus on the Word (Scriptures)
Then we need to look at the 300% witnesses once. As for these witnesses, you must look at them well, and regarding how to deliver this to the congregants, you must focus on these Word scriptures. You must not just attend Sunday worship. You cannot memorize all the pastor’s sermons. You must focus and be imprinted. Right? If you do that, you will be victorious, but people worship in a strange way. They gather every day and just worry, talk about people—when you focus on the Word, it is imprinted. What kind of Word is it?

1. The 7 Remnants
Then we cannot miss the 7 Remnants.

1) Genesis 37:1-11 (Keeping)
In Genesis 37:1-11, the 300% is completely contained. It seems like Joseph was sold as a slave, but it was completely the 300%. Joseph knows prayer. Already the 100% regarding himself, right? He spoke of his dream, but he spoke of the entire journey. Right? But verse 11 is important. It is what Jacob and Joseph kept in their hearts. They precisely kept that in their hearts. In Korean, it says “kept” (뒀다), but in English, it is “Keep.” Keeping—this is enough. If the saints truly grasp God’s Word in their hearts, works begin.
2) Exodus 4:24
Now, look. Exodus 4:24—it’s not that God spoke something to Moses that he didn’t know. He knows. He knows they must come out of Egypt. And he knew what it meant to offer a blood sacrifice. It’s just that this (Acts 1:8) had not happened. Right? So as for why I chose Exodus 4:24, after God told him to go to Pharaoh and let the people of Israel go, He tried to take him back. Right away, He tried to take Moses back, didn’t He? I mean, He told him to go one moment, and then tried to take him back another moment? Here, Moses sees the decisive thing of his life. This (Acts 1:8) came out. He went believing completely in God’s power. The greatest work occurred. Our Remnants must meditate deeply on the keys of the 7 Remnants in this Bible.
3) 1 Samuel 3:19
1 Samuel 3:19—of the words this Samuel spoke, not a single word fell to the ground; do you know why? While hearing God’s voice and hearing the talk, this had come out. He already knew what he had to do and what would happen in the field in the future, didn’t he? So it’s not just to the extent that he is not shaken, but for every prayer and every word, God worked. Because the answer had already come out, I am speaking of the evidence now. I am speaking of the evidence, but you must look closely at the content and direction. Right now, it seems like we are just giving a message, and it seems like you are just preaching, but it isn’t so, is it? There is God’s flow, isn’t there?
4) 1 Samuel 16:13
In 1 Samuel 16:13, it said “from this day on.” What day is it speaking of? It could mean after meeting Samuel, but that’s not what it’s talking about. He heard this (300%) through meeting Samuel. 300%—so from that day on, the Spirit of Jehovah came powerfully upon him; you must not miss the important things.
5) 2 Kings 2:9-11
He said, “Let a double portion of your spirit be upon me,” but this doesn’t simply mean to give me a double portion of spirit. He had already seen the nation of Aram, the various prophets, and the current situation. He knows all about Elijah’s situation. He knows how the nation is doing right now. So he said, “Give me a double portion of your spirit,” “Give me the spirit of the firstborn,” “Give me two portions.” Works have no choice but to happen.
6) Daniel 1:8-9
Now, look at this word once. The fact that Daniel resolved in his heart means he already knew the past, present, and future. He precisely grasped the 300% on the time schedule. God gave Daniel wisdom, but He gave him wisdom that moves kings. To put it simply, He gave him a heart to move the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes .
7) Acts 9:15
Look at this once. It all came out here, didn’t it? He is a chosen vessel to stand before the kings of Israel, the Gentiles, and many nations—it all came out. So works have no choice but to happen.

2. The Early Church
Next is the early church. He already gave this (300%). So how much grace should we receive?
1) Acts 1:3
For 40 days, Christ imprinted it. He imprinted a tremendous bartizan .
2) Acts 1:14
And then, without any conditions and without being afraid, they gathered and devoted themselves only to prayer; this time is necessary. On Sundays, you must only pray. Right? So you must receive this answer to see the answers during the six days.
I always say this, but the pastors are not just “preaching.” They probably gather things and prepare them. I’m saying it isn’t “gathering and preparing.” God’s will is delivered through your sermon. Also, it’s the same thing, but God’s plan is delivered. Through your sermon, the saints must hear God’s voice. Right? Nothing is more important than that. If you missed worship, you missed everything. If the church leaders just worshiped and yet all my things were resolved—that’s not just doing a good religious life, it is normal. It is abnormal for that not to happen. Doing prayer while feeling slighted every day—it’s because the answer doesn’t come out, right? If the perfect answer comes out in worship, it would be “Amen, Hallelujah!” but since it isn’t, the strongest devil among the devils is the “slighted devil.” Why? If you get caught by that, you cannot escape. When people get sick, they pray. Right? When a crisis comes to believers, they pray. But when the slighted devil comes, they absolutely do not pray.
3) Acts 2:42
Look at this. So how accurate is God’s Word? Following the apostles’ teaching—what must you enjoy? God saved me, who had no choice but to die, like one in ten million. Seeing that, they broke bread, but there is another person like me next to me. They fellowshipped and devoted themselves entirely to prayer—it came out like this.
4) Acts 3:1-12
Finally, look. In this is truly the 300%. All the people of Israel know him, don’t they? This person’s occupation is a beggar. He has no choice, right? Since he cannot move, first this person took a good spot. He sat at the Beautiful Gate. Why? Because if he is under a bridge, people won’t give him anything, so he sat at the Beautiful Gate. The people who come out to worship have their hearts somewhat organized, don’t they? Even so, he is a lame man. Even so, he hasn’t been saved. A tremendous thing is proclaimed here. It is truly the 300%.
5) Acts 8:4-8
Look at the same thing. In Samaria—don’t you know it well? He has a tremendous theological background.
6) Acts 9:36-43
One of you is enough. Dorcas—the Bible called her a female disciple. One person is enough. You must remember. It’s not “only I will do it.” This isn’t “I.” God can save the church through even one of me. God can save the pastor through one of me.
If I were a layperson, I would do it that way.
I would definitely give the pastor a missions fee. If I were a layperson, if I were an elder, I should earn at least that much, right? How much useless money do we spend? But why can the servants of the Lord not do it? Once I was sitting in an airport lounge, and Pastor Kim Il-hwan came in. At that time, we weren’t very close. We weren’t close, but he looked at me and gave me a check for 2 million or 3 million won. What is this? It’s this person’s heart, right? Right? He had that kind of heart toward me. It could also be an expression of being glad to meet. It also becomes an expression saying, “I am praying for the pastor.” So how should I use this to use it valuably? The next Sunday, two people from the Philippines came. They speak Korean well. So while talking, I asked how they live, and they said they do so because an elder helps them. I asked how much he helps. 200,000 won; I asked if they can live on 200,000 won, and they said they can. At that time, I gave exactly 1 million won each that I had received from Pastor Kim. These people know Korean money well. They were shocked. The kids were also cheerful. In expressing it, they said it was good. Everything that servants of the Lord or churches use, or offerings—all of it is the economy of light. Right?

3. Paul (Team)
Look at Paul and that team now. Paul is completely the 300%. This became the way to block the world disaster.
1) Acts 13:1-12
Everyone, if you look through Acts 13:1-12, the 300% comes out. Right? Paul saw this. Truly great, right?
2) Acts 16:10-40
Sometimes, look. You must look through Acts 16:10-40. The 300% comes out here. Paul even saw it so well that when he went in, if he brought out his Roman citizenship, he wouldn’t be imprisoned. He just went in.
3) Acts 17:1-9
Whenever you look at Paul’s evangelism, you must look at the whole of Acts 17:1-9. This is the famous Thessalonica—Thessalonica where the highway to Rome is. It is a tremendous region. Paul saw this. Here, he enters the synagogue and explains about Christ. There, he establishes a figure named Jason who can continue. He didn’t just teach Remnants in the synagogue; he taught Greeks and prominent women. You must always prepare the 300% exactly. If you enter that way, works happen immediately. Pastors, don’t believe in anything else; if you produce just one a year, after five years pass, the church will have a great revival.
4) Acts 18:1-4
Everything is in here as well. All three things are in here. Expertise and the field—all are in here. Amazing answers that can continue are in here.
5) Romans 16:1-27
In Romans 16:1-27, the perfect 300% is in here. There is no reason to be in a hurry. If this doesn’t open further, you just don’t go. Right? If you continue to pray and the guidance of the Holy Spirit doesn’t occur, you just wait. God will absolutely answer at your most accurate time. You must enjoy this part.

Conclusion: The Master of 300%
Then how does the conclusion come out? Who is the Master of 300%?

1) Sovereignty / Predestination / Providence / Decree / Dispensation
So we believe that God governs all our things. If you don’t believe, check when you were born, check where you were born, and check roughly when you will die. We call that God’s sovereignty. Right? God saved you. We call that God’s predestination. He prepared everything for you who were saved. We call that God’s providence. The Korean word is a bit more difficult. English is easier. Providence—it means He prepared. And God has a time schedule. We call that a decree. The decree called a “Decree”—however, God has a good goal in everything. Right now, it seems difficult, but there is a good goal there. Even if I seem to be suffering now, there is a goal there. The devil has an evil goal, and God has a good goal. We call that dispensation. In English, it is “Purpose,” which is intent or goal. You must move with this.

2) 300% (24), Everything (25), Masterpiece (Eternity)
Now, then, we are doing 24 for this 300%. You can just do 24 as things come to mind. Then everything is related to answers. We call this 25 . It’s realizing it. In everything, there is God’s masterpiece that saves the world. Our everything—we call this eternity .

3) System of the Throne
If we start praying now while holding this covenant, the third thing becomes set. It works this way. Even though I didn’t try to pray, prayer just happens. Now it’s done. Even if they try to pray, it doesn’t work—there are people like that. Prayer doesn’t work, I can’t pray—most people are that way. Prayer just works, and breathing doesn’t work well, right? A time comes when it just happens on its own. What do we call this? For you, the system of the throne to save the world has been made.

Now just don’t worry about being sick; when it becomes like this, the sickness goes. A certain person quit drugs; usually, people who quit drugs quit with much effort and difficulty, but this person just prayed. He went to prison because of drugs and so on, but one day he said he quit. He realized the gospel and just while praying, he quit. That is a real answer. It became something I no longer need. If you need it, you seek it, don’t you? The system of the throne—the blessing Christ gave that you will receive—you must be doing it even now. You must be enjoying it. When listening to the pastor’s sermon, you participate together with prayer. Right? When the elders pray, you must participate together with prayer.

Otherwise, waiting is boring. While the elders are praying, I have tried doing a strange prayer while participating. “God, let him end it quickly”—you don’t know how long he does it—”Lord, please cut it short by the work of the Holy Spirit”—I have tried such prayers. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. We thank You for giving us an important mission. Let us evangelize the world by God’s grace without worrying about anything. Let all the saints dwell within this. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Our Father in Heaven

Matthew 6:5-9. And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven,


In Today’s Word, Jesus begins to teach us the true nature of prayer by first distinguishing it from the empty practices of religious performance. He cautions against praying like those who treat devotion as a public spectacle, standing in synagogues and on street corners to be seen and praised by men. These religious practitioners rely on repetitive babbling, believing that their prayers are answered based on the sheer volume of their words. Jesus seeks to heal our religious minds by urging us to stop praying like unbelievers and start praying as true children of God.

The foundation of this transformation is found in the opening address: “Our Father in heaven.” For the disciples, calling the Holy Creator “Father” was a revolutionary concept virtually unthinkable in Old Testament times. However, through faith in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, we have been granted the legal right to become children of God (John 1:12). This intimate relationship is confirmed by the Holy Spirit, whom God sent into our hearts to cry out, “Abba, Father” (Galatians 4:6). Through Christ, we have been justified by faith and now possess permanent peace with God (Romans 5:1).

We have been adopted into God’s family according to the law of heaven, and our names are officially registered in the book of life—a reality made possible only by the power of Jesus’ name (Acts 4:12). By the authority of our Lord, the power of our former father and master, Satan, has been crushed (Genesis 3:15). Now, the God who formed and established the earth (Jeremiah 33:2), the One who transcends time and space while holding our very lives in His hand, is the One we call Father.

As a child of God, prayer is your highest privilege; it is a personal meeting with your Father. You do not need to approach Him with a religious attitude, frantic zeal, or the formality you would use for a stranger. Instead, you can enter His presence with “shameless audacity” (Luke 11:8). To pray effectively, you must understand His heart toward you. He desires to bless you, keep you, and make His face shine upon you with grace and peace (Numbers 6:24-27). He is a Mighty Warrior who saves, taking great delight in you and even rejoicing over you with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).

Even if your heart has grown cold or you have wandered away, His love remains constant. Even when we are faithless, He remains faithful because He cannot disown His own children (2 Timothy 2:13). Understanding this love allows you to give Him your undivided attention. Jesus instructs us to go into a private room and close the door, focusing on the Father who is unseen (Matthew 6:6). This secret meeting is not a chore but the greatest reward of the Christian life.

When you converse with Him, speak from the heart without worrying about flowery language or “many words,” for He is not impressed by babbling (Matthew 6:7). He simply wants to spend time with you. If you feel too busy to pray, consider that you might be busy precisely because you are not spending enough time with the Source of your strength. Prayer is the source of every answer in life. By making this “downtime” with your Father the happiest part of your day, prayer becomes your life itself.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for teaching me how to pray. Open my heart to truly understand Your love and restore the joy of prayer in my daily walk. Help me to seek You first, knowing that You are my Father and my greatest reward. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Hymn
10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)
Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
O my soul, worship His holy Name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I’ll worship Your holy Name.

The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning;
It’s time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing when the evening comes.

You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger,
Your Name is great and Your heart is kind;
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing,
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.

And on that day when my strength is failing,
The end draws near and my time has come;
Still my soul sings Your praise unending,
Ten thousand years and then forevermore.


Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

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

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

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.


Scripture Reading
Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

The Glory of the LORD Appeared at the Tent of Meeting

Prayer Journal: January 21, 2026
13. Apr. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Numbers 14:1-10


What happens when we worship? Verse 10 says, “Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites.”
「The Glory of the LORD that Appeared at the Tent of Meeting」
This is about the time of worship. It is the glory of the LORD appearing at the tent of meeting.

▣ Introduction_ Gospel + Prayer = 24, 25, eternity (Romans 16:25-27)

If you know the gospel and know prayer right now, you can see this. You see 24, 25, and eternity. It is clearly recorded in Romans 16:25-27 as well.

1. Canaan → Absolute Plan
The part we need to pray about concerning something important today is that going to the land of Canaan is God’s absolute plan. No matter what anyone says, it is the absolute plan. You evangelizing the world is God’s absolute plan. It does not change.

2. Spying (12-Regions)
However, He told them to go and spy out the land of Canaan. This is a very important point. The 12 tribes actually went and spied out the 12 regions. But 10 out of the 12 said they could not go. They said some incredible things here today. They went as far as saying, “Let us go back to Egypt.” The reason was that they saw the Anak hill country, and because there were large cities and fortresses, they became terrified.

3. Unbelief
Most of them fell into unbelief here. If 10 out of 12 fell into it, that is almost everyone. At this time, as you know, Joshua and Caleb gave a different report.

24 – Start of Answers
To put it simply, people who have seen the 24 are different. World evangelization begins.

[ 1. Genesis 13:18 ]
This is not just a promise; it is the promise God gave to the ancestor Abraham. World evangelization is.

[ 2. Exodus 2:1-10 ]
When they went to Egypt as slaves, it was the promise of the tribe of Levi, the promise of Jochebed, and the promise of Moses in Exodus 2:1-10.

[ 3. Exodus 3:18-20 ]
In Exodus 3:18-20, He clearly told Moses to lead the Israelites out and go offer a blood sacrifice. He said, “I will be with you with a mighty hand.” People failed to see this.

[ 4. 12 Tribes ]
Thus, today’s book of Numbers is the re-counting of the 12 tribes.

[ 5. 12 Regions ]
Completely seize the 12 regions. They saw this 24. For those doing missions, for everyone, this is the answer. For those doing business, this is the answer too. We must not simply go to a missions field and come back as we do now. It must be this.
Therefore, when the missionaries come this time, you must truly serve them well spiritually through prayer. This is a very important time schedule. You must support work this way as well. Everything must be done this way. It is not about doing 24, but God’s answers begin for the person who has seen it. What kind of answers come?

▣ Main_ 25 – World Evangelization

The answer of world evangelization called 25 takes place. 25 is a term we use, but it is the power of the throne. While the former (24 – Start of Answers) is our time schedule, this is not our time schedule. That is why Jesus’ final promise was also, “He explained the things of the kingdom of God for 40 days.” Now, what kind of 25 is it?

1. Exodus Glory 25
We have already experienced it. It is the Exodus glory 25. This is the answer you will receive,

1) 10 Miracles
Ten miracles took place for Moses, who grasped this covenant.

2) Red Sea
God intentionally led them to the Red Sea and made them cross it.

3) Three Feasts
While on the wilderness road, He gave the secret of the three feasts where one can never perish.

4) Ark of the Covenant
Inside that is the tabernacle, and inside that is the ark of the covenant. Inside the ark of the covenant, as you know, are the two stone tablets that never change. God’s Word. When there was nothing to eat, He gave manna. There is the jar that held it. As mentioned in the first service, Aaron’s budded staff is inside.

5) Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Cloud
It is not just that. On the path the Israelites walked, He guided them with a pillar of fire when it was cold at night and with a pillar of cloud when it was too hot during the day. It is certain evidence. Although no one believed, the glory of the Exodus appeared.

2. Canaan Glory 25
It is not just that. They have already seen the glory of the land of Canaan. This 25.

1) 7 Tribes, 31 Kings
There are already 7 tribes and 31 kings of nations that worship idols in the land of Canaan right now. These people’s hearts melted upon hearing the rumors. All the hardships you face are for breaking the forces of darkness. They thought they were suffering, but this rumor reached here (Canaan). All these people’s hearts melted away.

2) Milk/Honey
What was said today? “It is a land flowing with milk and honey.”

3) Promise
And, “There is no need to fear. It is a land already given.” This. It is the promised land. We are going there.
Therefore, no matter what anyone says, you are the main figures who will evangelize the world, and that is God’s plan.

3. Unbelief 25, Faith 25
However, the important thing is that judgment is made here. There is a 25 for unbelief, and there is a 25 for faith that believes in God.

[ 100, 1000 Years ]
Here, a difference of a 100-year answer and a 1000-year answer is completely made. If you look at chapter 13, verse 33 earlier, there is a statement like this: “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” We read from chapter 14, but in chapter 13, verse 33, we see the reason.

1) Numbers 13:33 Anak Hill Country
They saw this Anak hill country and became terrified. Where is this? Later, when they all enter, the problem erupts again when they see this city. It must be a large fortress.

2) 99% Unbelief
Thus, 99% unbelief arose. What does it say? “That night all the members of the community raised their voices and wept aloud.” These Israelites are good at being instigated, good at grumbling all night long, and good at weeping aloud. They weep aloud whenever they feel like it. Although God’s plan is certain, this uproar broke out among all the people. What do they say? “All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, ‘If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness!'” It comes out like this. “Why is the LORD bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” Unbelief is this terrifying. They say something completely opposite. In verse 4, “And they said to each other, ‘We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.'” This is where the 99% voices of unbelief that have come out until now emerged.

3) 1% Faith
A person who has grasped God’s covenant triumphs even if they are only the 1%. At this time, in verse 5, “Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there. Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes.” Tearing one’s clothes is done when repenting. “Tore their clothes and said to the entire Israelite assembly, ‘The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us.'” While saying that, they say, “It is indeed a land flowing with milk and honey.” The eyes that see are different. Most people say they cannot enter. “We will die by the sword and our children and wives will be captured and killed, so we cannot go.” But when Joshua and Caleb, who have the eyes of faith, look at it, it is “a land flowing with milk and honey.” They said something more important in verse 9. “Only do not rebel against the LORD,” it said. “And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because they are our prey,” it said. “Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them.” This 1% of people with the confession of faith won. Nevertheless, the people picked up stones to stone Moses and Aaron. At that time, in verse 10, “Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites.”

▣ Conclusion_ Temple

It says that in this tabernacle, in the temple, the glory of the LORD appeared and protected those people. It is a tremendous, invisible work. It is the same every time you worship. Every time you face a crisis, God protects you with the glory of the LORD. “The messenger of the Lord ahead of Moses, and the angel of the Lord behind Moses.” Why is that? God’s will does not change.

1. 3 Courtyards, the three-day weekend age, holy meditation
We will build this temple and, as you know, establish the 3 courtyards; who can block this? It cannot help but be filled with the glory of the LORD. We will open the three-day weekend age and open the holy meditation age here, so it cannot help but be full of the glory of the LORD.

2. Ark of the Covenant
It is not just that; inside this temple is the ark of the covenant as well. Inside is the Word of God that never changes eternally. Inside is Aaron’s budded staff. Inside is the jar that held the manna.

3. Throne, Gospel
It is not just that. This temple is divided into the Holy of Holies and the Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies refers to the place where the power of the throne resides. Everything in the Holy Place explains Christ without exception. This gospel. In this way, He leads the Israelites with the power of the throne, and it said, “The glory of the LORD filled it.”

What happened through these two people? They are only the 1%. What happens through the words spoken by Joshua and Caleb? Tremendous things happen on the remaining path through the wilderness. We will confirm this in the future, but the Jordan is parted. It is a historical event. Jericho is also collapsed. In the war with the Amorite coalition, God even performed the miracle of stopping the sun and the moon. And it comes out. At the end, they all entered, but the people grumbled again. It was that Anak hill country they reported on in the past. 45 years had passed, but they grumbled again. As you know, Caleb appears then. Caleb, who was 85 years old, asks for this land to be given to him. He says he will fight. He brought out the covenant and spoke. “Didn’t our teacher Moses, our leader Moses, say we would enter the land of Canaan? And now we have entered. Then, give me this hill country.” It is that very land. A record of complete victory comes out.

I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that the glory of the LORD will overflow in the places where you pray during this week.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let us be within the absolute plan of world evangelization that no one can block. Let us restore the three courtyards that have disappeared from the earth. Restore the three-day weekend age to save the posterity, and open the holy meditation age so that the work of healing takes place. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Is Prayer Taking Place in My Life?

Matthew 6:5-8. And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.


Tragically, many Christians consider prayer difficult. How about you? Is prayer actually taking place in your life? Is it something you long to do—or something you avoid? Is prayer a priority you place before anything else, or has it been pushed aside by the pressures of daily life? If prayer is not central in your life, then this is not a small issue. It is a matter that deserves your most serious attention.

First of all, many people simply do not like to pray. They experience prayer as a burden rather than a blessing. They say they are too busy, too distracted, or too tired. Ironically, when life becomes busiest and most exhausting—precisely when we need God the most—He is often the first thing we remove from our schedules. Slowly, and sometimes without realizing it, we distance ourselves from our Father.

We begin cutting off what is spiritual in our lives—the Word and prayer. Instead of halting the pursuits of the world, which offer only temporary joy and fleeting strength, we suspend worship and fellowship with God, the only true source of life and power. What we abandon first is often what we need most.

God created mankind as a spiritual being (Genesis 2:7). He Himself was meant to be our wisdom, our strength, our provision, and our everything. Yet Scripture declares that no one naturally seeks God (Romans 3:11). It is not simply a matter of unwillingness; it is inability. This is the tragic condition of humanity living under the curse of sin, under the dominion of Satan, and under the shadow of death.

Satan’s strategy has always been clear. He does not want us to listen to the Word of our Father. He does not want us to speak with our Father in prayer. He wants us to elevate the things of the world above worship and communion with God. He even dared to tempt our Lord Jesus with these very things (Matthew 4:1–11). If he could distract the Son, he will certainly try to distract the children.

Ultimately, the issue is not whether we pray or do not pray; it is whether we truly love God. When love for our Father grows cold, our relationship with Him becomes strained and awkward. Over time, our desire to spend time with Him fades, and prayer quietly disappears from our lives.

Before examining your prayer life, examine your relationship with God—the God who loved you first and gave His life for you. Prayer flows naturally from relationship. Where love grows, prayer follows.

Many Christians also struggle to believe that God answers prayer. Why? Because they do not see the answers they wanted or expected. They grow impatient when responses are delayed or different from their hopes. Eventually, disappointment turns into doubt.

So people say, “Perhaps it was not God’s will,” or “Maybe it was not His timing.” Sometimes that is true. But often, deep inside, there is a more troubling reality: they no longer truly trust God’s promise to hear and answer the prayers of His children.

At the heart of this struggle is a misunderstanding of what prayer really is. Prayer is not a transaction or a technique to obtain what we want. Prayer is spiritual breathing. Just as the body cannot survive without breathing, the soul cannot remain healthy without prayer. Hold your breath long enough, and life fades. The same is true spiritually.

Being with God is the greatest answer to prayer. To enjoy His presence, to dwell in His love, to rest in His care—this is prayer. That is why the privilege of prayer belongs only to His children. Prayer is not merely asking; it is abiding.

When we stop praying, we stop breathing spiritually. The result is inevitable: exhaustion, weakness, and sickness of the soul. Over time, this spiritual depletion affects every area of life—our faith, our relationships, even our physical and emotional health. When you find yourself in a spiritual slump, trapped in unbelief or discouragement, check your breathing. Check your prayer.

There is also a deeper danger many Christians fail to recognize: the bitter root of fundamental unbelief growing quietly within. We may say we believe in God, yet we do not truly believe He is personally and intimately involved in our lives. We acknowledge His existence but deny His nearness.

We read Scripture and affirm that it is God’s Word, yet we do not fully trust its promises. We believe only what seems reasonable, manageable, or agreeable to us. When trouble comes, we follow the patterns of the world rather than resting in the sovereignty of God. We live as if everything depends on us, not on Him.

There is no true rest apart from God. Without the joy of prayer, all that remains is an outward form of godliness—religion, legalism, moral effort, and tradition. This is why Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and religious leaders as hypocrites. They appeared spiritual, but their hearts were far from God. And Jesus warns us not to pray like them.

Do not allow Satan to continue sowing seeds of unbelief in your heart. Do not let him steal the joy of prayer from your life. Remember this: your heavenly Father hears every word you speak. He treasures them. He holds them close to His heart.

Satan will do everything possible to keep us from praying because he knows what happens when we pray in the name of Jesus. He knows his kingdom has no power before that name. Prayer is not weakness; it is spiritual authority grounded in Christ.

Restore the blessing of prayer in your life, and you will discover strength to overcome conflicts, heal scars, and rise from failure. Restore your relationship with your Father. That restoration is the beginning of the answer to everything.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for listening to my prayer. Help me with my unbelief. Restore the joy of prayer within me and draw me back into deep fellowship with You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Three Offices of the Christ

In Genesis 3, man left God, right? Became a sinner, right? This incident of being a child of the devil can never be resolved without the offspring of the woman from Genesis 3:15 coming. That is why that God who promised, according to the promise in Galatians 4:4, made His Son be born of a woman. So, by that Jesus dying on the cross, He resolved all problems. Not only that, this Nephilim problem of being possessed by demons that humans have—this Nephilim problem can never be resolved without entering the ark, which is the cross of Christ, where the blood of the lamb and the goat is sprinkled. Not only that, humans are building the Tower of Babel, aren’t they? They want to succeed now. However, the fact is that all Towers of Babel cannot be resolved without heading toward the land God shows: world evangelization. Therefore, remember the fact that the physical success we think of and the success God thinks of are on different dimensions, and today, when you go to the land God indicates before Him, God made a promise. He promised to give covenantal blessings. He promised to give fundamental blessings exactly as promised, did He not? And God clearly said He would give us not only fundamental blessings, but also irresistible answers. And God gave us all representative answers and monumental answers right there. “Monumental” refers to the Remnant. This was originally the word; so God perfectly promised even the promise for our posterity, and so what is it that we can do? Restore the altar. Usually, when it says Abraham built an altar, Jacob built an altar, and Noah came out of the ark and built an altar, people just think of building an altar as restoring worship and praying. That word contains a lot. This is the word mizbe-ach, which refers to the place of the verb za-bach. In other words, what is za-bach? It is killing an animal and shedding its blood. Then what is an altar? It means the place where an animal is killed and its blood is shed. What does it mean? It refers to the cross. If humans lose the cross of Christ in any case, they can never overcome the devil. You cannot overcome your own sinfulness. Humans can never meet God. That is why, thinking of the fact that God is showing you and me the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes and the 1,000 bartizans from now on, He gave you the mission of Mt Olive today regarding this.

Now, then, when starting the mission of Mt Olive, when I said that I make those with mental problems continually listen to the message using the Way of Salvation, I received contacts or people asked me directly; at that time, the 5-minute, 7-minute, and 3-minute Way of Salvation disappeared. At that time, there was something that came out in ten parts. But that disappeared and now they come out one by one. If one 5-minute or 7-minute Way of Salvation comes out, doesn’t the video keep coming up because one comes out? But there is something important. Because ten came out back in our time, I had them listen to the message, but because those disappeared these days, as Pastor Ryu’s early Way of Salvation comes up, many other people doing the Way of Salvation come up. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that. However, I am serious, am I not? Because I am serious, if I don’t listen to the original message and other things get mixed in, I am someone who has nothing to do with it. So, as a result, the messages of others are good and necessary. And they might be necessary depending on the spiritual state. But because I was so serious, it didn’t work for me with the messages of other people. So I continued to listen to that message; and as I listened, what happened was as I continued to meditate on the Christ of Acts 1:1, the secret of the kingdom of God of 1:3, and the filling of the Holy Spirit and the ends of the earth of 1:8, strangely, I felt like I was escaping from my fate. And as time went on, my life changed. And as more time passed, there was another thing that was healed this time. Rather than being healed, I realized it, but while speaking on 1:8 in the Core, ah, last time in the School Evangelism message, it was said: there are people who say they want to live quietly. Such people should go live in a Buddhist temple. They are not normal. He said it that way. Yes. But, of course, I knew I wasn’t normal, but I didn’t know he would express it so shockingly; and this time, he said another thing. That not doing evangelism—saying it has nothing to do with evangelism—is the antichrist. He said it was an individual thought. By all means, it’s not that it’s biblical, but an individual thought. It’s a shocking expression, actually. So, as we do this one by one, there is actually a spiritual problem inside me that even I don’t know. People don’t want to acknowledge it, but there is clearly a bartizan of Satan. And there is my thought, right? My will, right? My position—all of that is there. As time passed, I realized that I changed when I continued to meditate on this and stayed within this training. And I gradually realized what evangelism is, and I gained the conviction that God is definitely leading. Therefore, only when the bartizan of Satan that was built inside you without you knowing is collapsed and changed into the bartizan of God, can you actually move the throne. Only then do answers come. So today, unless it is a person with a special scar or ambition, if you look at most people, I don’t think there are almost any among you who want to become the president or become a multi-millionaire. It might not be possible, but I don’t know. Deacon Chu might be that way. Since he does business. It’s not ambition but because he is a businessman, he could truly become the CEO of a major corporation, and our Elder Moon, Elder Kim, or Elder Ahn—those people could be that way. Most general people will just want to not be ashamed or unsightly to others, and just have enough to eat and live, have a space to sleep, and live normally. I was that way too. A normal life. Is it not so? Do you want to live specially well? Because I was born a woman, my picture was just to meet a husband who earns a salary, and if he gives me the salary, I would save it, manage the household, and live by moving from a small house one by one. And because many lived that way around me—but such a life was not guaranteed at all. The most basic and normal life. But to what extent was it for me? All my friends, when they got married, they started in a shared room—you know, a rented room in someone else’s house. I could have done that as much as I wanted. I am a person from an island, am I not? Nevertheless, that basic thing did not work at all. Too many incidents that I could not understand, could not explain, and could not possibly accept occurred. If I told you everything, you wouldn’t believe it. It’s a life that cannot be understood. It cannot be explained. No matter what kind of person I meet, I can give the fact that only Christ is the answer. No matter what problem you have, Satan has seized the authority of the air. If you look at Luke 4:5 and 6, clearly Satan says, “All this authority has been given to me. So I give it to anyone I want.” He says this. Clearly, because all the authority of the universe has passed to Satan, without knowing Christ, everyone is captured by the devil, demons, and Satan. That is why they cannot think normal thoughts. If the people around you cannot explain Christ or do not know Christ, and if you cannot do evangelism, you are not normal. This time, right? The expression of the word “antichrist.” Of course, it’s not the antichrist. It’s just his own thought, but he expressed it that way. So today, when you truly have a problem before God, you must find the answer only through Christ. Why is that? A human being is a spiritual being. A spiritual being has a spirit, so they are happy only when they meet God. The way to meet God is only through Jesus Christ. Therefore, from now on, because we are a royal priesthood and clearly a prophet to proclaim the light, in the first Main point, Acts 1:1 appears. Why is that? Now, I skipped ahead to explain Christ, but this Acts 1:1 is a letter written by Luke to Theophilus, and the letter Luke wrote is the Gospel of Luke. Everything in the Gospel of Luke is a record of the contents regarding Jesus’ birth, Jesus’ public ministry, Jesus’ death on the cross, and Jesus’ resurrection. That thing regarding Jesus Christ is precisely Acts 1:1. Now, then, this Christ spoken of in this chapter 1 is a name that is absolutely necessary for us, and the fact is that answers begin only when there is nothing more important to us than Christ. This was expressed as the bartizan of the throne. Now, it is just one word “Christ,” but within Christ, the Triune God works, does He not? He works by transcending time and space with the power of the throne, right? Through all of God’s answers of your past, present, and future, you are healed, right? You can overcome the one who seized the authority of the air, right? You can move with the five powers, right? You can see the CVIP covenant in advance through the spirit of the covenant, right? To you, there is the way to save the Gentiles and unbelievers where the three courtyards are, to heal the sick, and to save the children. There is no other way within Christ. So this Christ itself can be called a bartizan; I will express the bartizan for you a bit. For bartizan, there is the word migdal and there is mizpah. Mizpah is the same word as the Mizpah movement, right? Now, then, this bartizan called migdal is expressed as a “pulpit” in Nehemiah 8:4. It was translated directly as a pulpit. Then what is the bartizan of the word migdal? It is translated as bartizan, tower, fortress, or watchtower. Similarly, mizpah is expressed as bartizan, tower, watchtower, and then fortress. Now, the root of migdal, gadal, means “to be great, to be big, to be strong.” The message of the pulpit is the greatest. The message of the pulpit is the biggest. The message of the pulpit is the most firm and strong. The thing that makes you strong is the message of the pulpit. Then what is Mizpah? If you look at 1 Samuel chapters 7:3 and 5, as Samuel carries out the Mizpah movement, he speaks to the people of Israel. What does he say? “If you want to come before the Lord God”—you can clearly try looking there. 1 Samuel 7:14. “Remove all idols.” What is more important to you than Christ is an idol. If your thought takes precedence over the Word of God, that is an idol. If your child takes precedence over God, that is an idol. If you like money more than God, that is an idol. Everything is an idol. Therefore, if you truly want to seek and find the Lord, remove the idols, direct only your heart toward the Lord, and serve only Him. Only then does peace come. In Matthew 11:28, you are carrying all the weary and heavy burdens, aren’t you? Depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, then anxiety, worry, concern, unbelief, and unrest are all there, aren’t they? I am not saying to take all these things and lay them down. Just as you are, just look to Christ. If you just look to Christ, the feeling of all the problems and burdens you carry disappears. Yes. Therefore, the fact is that if you truly enter within Christ, within this bartizan, when you remove all the idols you have, direct your heart only toward God, and serve only that Jesus Christ, a new history begins. So this word “Jesus” is the name of the Savior. It is a name, and the word “Christ” means “the anointed one.” It can be expressed as “the one on whom oil was rubbed” or “the one who was anointed with oil.” However, you must know the first office and the mission regarding this Christ. This Christ has three offices. He was anointed as King, Prophet, and Priest, and in the Bible—in Genesis, the answer that resolved man’s fundamental problem is shown; and the books of Leviticus and Exodus are all priest stories. 1 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, 1 and 2 Kings—all are king stories. In the prophetic books—from the prophet Isaiah to Malachi—all are prophet stories. The Old Testament is a promise that He will send the Christ who will come as King, Priest, and Prophet. And after that—as we know—in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, that person who was promised to come as King, Prophet, and Priest was anointed and died on the cross. It is the story up to the point that He died on the cross and was resurrected. And what is Acts? It is the story of that resurrected person working through the Holy Spirit and evangelizing through all the disciples. Through the work of the Holy Spirit. And all the epistles from Romans to Jude are letters sent to those regions that were evangelized. Because they couldn’t go personally. So, all of the Bible is explained with Christ at the center, and firstly: why do we need the anointed one of Christ? Everyone, all people were born in sin. If you look at Psalm 51:5, we are lives born in sin. The birth itself was with sin. I am saying you were born as a child of the devil. So, because you were born in sin, Jeremiah 5:25 says “because of your iniquities”—everyone, because of our human iniquities, all the good things God gives have been blocked. Because of the human theory of crime, all the blessings that we humans can enjoy have been blocked. Therefore, all people have sinned and cannot reach the glory of God, the wages of sin is death, there is not one righteous person, and in Jeremiah 2:22, even if you wash with lye and use soap, the sin is not washed away. Therefore, because no human can resolve the sin problem, to resolve this problem, God took an extraordinary measure. He decided to send an anointed priest. Among you, there is someone who says, “I truly have no sin.” I thought I had no sin. Truly, I never lived insincerely from when I was young, never treated school life carelessly, and never drank, smoked, or had affairs—none of that. My long-time alumni testify for me. I never once strayed. Since I received good conduct awards and academic awards when I was in school, how diligent I must have been. However, I who thought I had no sin was the chief of sinners. In John 16:9, what is sin? It is not knowing God. God can be known only through Christ. But I didn’t know Christ, yet I thought I had no sin under heaven. So do you know what I always thought? I am a person who thought that I could look up to the sky without a single point of shame. But after knowing Christ, even if I took the bus or walked on the street, only tears came. Everything under heaven and every matter has a time and a purpose, but because I was truly a sinner, nothing was working out for me. The problem I couldn’t explain or understand was not the other person’s problem, but my problem. Because I didn’t know God, because of my sin and because of my iniquity, all good things had been blocked. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that this time will be a time for you to be restored from now on. So God promised to send an anointed priest. Leviticus 17:11—today, if you perfectly know the Bible verses regarding the three offices of the King, you will never be victimized by demons. Mental illness is healed. When Christ, the Priest, came to this earth, if you look at Leviticus 17:11, because life is in the blood, the blood makes atonement for sin. In Hebrews 9:22, without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. In 1 John 1:7, the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. Amen. Mark 10:45: Jesus resolved it as a ransom for us. In Romans 8:2, Jesus perfectly resolved the sin problem legally. In Isaiah 43:25: “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake”—He blots out your transgressions. “I blot out your transgressions and will remember your sins no more.” God does not even remember your and my original sin. Our actual sins are “present participles.” Active participles—it means as soon as you commit it, God immediately erases it. He erases it as if it were an eraser. Therefore, we are not righteous because we are righteous, but we are righteous because of Jesus Christ. But if one loses Jesus, how could they not commit sin? Unless one is filled with Christ for 24 hours, their sinfulness comes out immediately. Therefore, you must remember the fact that the phrase “24 hours” is not an accidental phrase. Not only that, the reason all people became sinners is because they are children of the devil. So John 8:44 says the father of us unbelievers is the devil. So clearly, it says you were born from your father the devil. As a result, in Ephesians 2:2, everyone is affiliated with the one who seized the authority of the air, the devil who seized the authority of the universe. That is why, as in Psalm 82:5, they walk around in darkness and live in darkness. In Isaiah 60:2, darkness covered the land. Not only that, you know Hebrews 2:15—they fear dying. They live as slaves to death all their lives. For such humans completely bound to Satan, God made the Christ, the King, be anointed and die on the cross. So clearly, in Genesis 3:15, He promised to bruise the head of the serpent, and in Romans 16:20 as well, God—the God of peace—will soon crush Satan under your feet. He clearly promised to make him kneel. Not only that, in Hebrews 2:14, every human being has flesh and blood. He who is God, God who is the Word, came in the form of a human with flesh and blood to destroy through death him who seized the power of death, the devil—is it not amazing? So clearly, as in 1 John 3:8, the Son of God appeared on this earth to destroy the works of the devil. Therefore, without Christ, we cannot overcome Satan. We cannot overcome demons. You are scared when you see demons, aren’t you? I told you. It’s okay even if you sleep with a shaman. You’re scared of sleeping with a shaman, aren’t you? How is it? When you see a person possessed by demons, you’re scared, right? Yesterday as well, I showed Jiseon’s picture to that friend, and they couldn’t look. Couldn’t look. Because they were scared—why? They cannot look. Everyone. When you look at a scary picture or a picture of someone possessed by demons, a person who is scared is that way because they are also possessed by demons. But when we look, the demons flee. So, I hope that before God you will be completely restored through Christ the Priest and Christ the King, and thus humans cannot meet God. Because they cannot meet God, in Genesis 3:1–6, all people left God—especially in 3:5, spiritual eyes were closed and physical eyes were opened. If eyes are opened that way, it is a state of “Nephilim.” You become completely worried only about the problem of eating and living. Is there anyone free from this? So, because humans left God, I told you that even the land received a curse. So if you look at Romans 8:19 and 21, all creation waits for the appearing of the children of light who have the gospel—the sons of God. It doesn’t mean “waiting” as in just waiting around. The word apokalypsis appears. Apokalypsis is the word for “revelation.” It means to peel off from above. All creation wants to peel off the darkness by the sons of God preaching the gospel and to receive the blessings of God’s throne. Because it’s not working. In Romans 8:22, all creation groans together and is in pain. It’s not only you who are in pain. Droughts, lack of rain, and disasters—it’s all of creation being in pain. Therefore, because we have the status and authority to destroy all disasters on this earth with only Christ, I hope that from now on you will have Christ, the Prophet, who is the way to meet God. He came as Christ the King, Christ the Priest, and the anointed Prophet; 1 Timothy 2:5 clearly says this. Now, God is one. And there is also one mediator between God and man. Who is that one person? The man Christ Jesus. So for us humans, you must first conclude the fact that the only way to meet God is through only Christ. Therefore, if you look at John 15:5, humans can absolutely do nothing apart from God. Doing things apart from God ultimately becomes a house built on sand. It all collapses. So clearly, God through John 14:6 said that one can meet God only through Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. It must be an absolute negation. You can never meet God except through Jesus Christ. In Acts 4:12 as well, there is no other name given under heaven among men by which we must be saved except Jesus Christ. In 1 Peter 3:18, Christ also suffered once for sins to lead us to God. Although He had no sin, the fact is that by Jesus dying on the cross because of us, He led us to God. Therefore, in conclusion, if you haven’t found the answer of Christ in John 19:30—who died on the cross at Calvary and resolved all problems—you will ultimately always be deceived by demons. You are deceived by “mine”—everyone, you all fall to sin. Ultimately, you cannot meet God. That is why, even if I know the gospel, because 24 hours is not working, I sin. Everyone, evangelism is good, and saving other people is good, but 24 hours must be done for me, right? Then wouldn’t other people want to believe in Jesus after seeing me? Isn’t this the evangelism among evangelism? Yes. So in Mark 15:38, it clearly said so. The moment Jesus died on the cross, the veil was torn from top to bottom. The veil of the Holy of Holies was torn. Therefore, there is no need to confess to a pastor. No need to confess to a priest. Only through the name of Jesus Christ, the way to meet God has opened directly. Therefore, in this amazing blessing, I hope you all completely find the answer at this time through Christ, who completely broke the three curses, and as Christ is about to be proclaimed today, look at the “fine dust” blowing around like that. The demons are doing even more. There has never been a time like this while worshiping. Yes. So all these things are not accidental. I, by myself, was thinking: “Ah, it’s blowing around, the demons know so accurately.” Because today I’m going to properly preach the three offices and say everything. But the demons knew and were in that uproar. It is absolutely not accidental. Therefore, remember the fact that in everything you go to, only Christ is the answer, and God desires most for the kingdom of God to come through only this Christ. That is why Jesus was resurrected and stayed on this earth for 40 days, speaking only of the things of the kingdom of God. Then what does it mean for the kingdom of God to come to you and me? It means the devil retreats. It means God’s reign comes. When God’s reign comes, the work of the kingdom of God is achieved. The work of the kingdom of God is to save the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes and the 1,000 bartizans. It is done for evangelism. Therefore, I hope there will be the blessing of you truly receiving guidance before God today. In Deuteronomy 25:18, Amalek attacks Israel. Now, then, when you are attacked by Satan, you must think about why I am always deceived by Satan. Important words come out there. He attacks those who are weary and have fallen behind. Those who have lost Christ for 24 hours. The spirit has lost Christ. So they fall behind. Why? Look at the animal kingdom. Have you seen the animal kingdom? While those buffaloes go in a herd, if one buffalo falls behind, the lions attack without fail. That is exactly it. While we are in this community within the gospel—the community within Christ, which is the church—if something falls away, you are a target of Satan’s attack without fail. Therefore, from now on, you need to know one point of shame. What kind of shame? For us, the word “Immanuel” means God is with us. However, though it is a word that doesn’t appear in the Bible, “God with us” helps us, but “God with me” is necessary, is it not? Then “nu” is a first-person plural suffix as a shortened form of the personal pronoun. However, if a suffix were made with the word “me,” one could attach “ni” or “ai.” Then, for example, it wouldn’t be Immanuel, but “Immi-el.” Even “Immi” would mean “with me.” The word “Immi” is not in the Bible. But in Hebrew grammar, by attaching a personal suffix, if one says “Immi-el,” God is with me. Now, here: “El” is a shortening of “Elohim,” the name of God. It refers to the Almighty God, and “nu” is the suffix for “us.” Then within “Im,” all the meaning of “Immanuel” would be contained. “Im” is a preposition. This preposition is derived from the verb amam. What is the meaning of the verb amam? It means “to be secret.” And it means “to be joined.” Why? Because when a couple lives together, it’s secret. Two people living together—the two being joined is secret. The spirit of God and I being joined is a secret thing. Only God and I know. But if you think quietly, all creation in the universe—if they are joined, they rot. Oranges and tangerines keep sticking together. Then if one tangerine in the box rots, the whole box rots, right? If one potato in a potato box rots, they all rot. In this community of creation, if one person is worked on by demons, the whole community is deceived by demons. This is the principle of creation. However, we are rotting and dying created beings, yet the Creator God joined with me, right? Then the rotting “I” do not influence God, but the Creator God influences me. That is why I become a new creation. This is the secret of Immanuel. Now, then, if it is the secret of Immanuel, if God and I have been joined as one, it is normal for a child to be born. Is it not? If a couple married and lived together, it is normal for a child to be born. But not even one child was born. Then firstly the husband has a problem, or the wife has a problem, or both have a problem. Right? The fact that there is no child—now, then, God and I have been joined. Then not even one disciple arose through me and no evangelism occurred. Not even one, not even a single person. A child—a thousand could be born, ten could be born, a hundred could be born, or one could be born. Not even one can be born. But if I have never once preached the gospel to someone and never once made a disciple—if evangelism has never once occurred—then either God is not normal, or I am not normal, or both are not normal; how is it? Then who would not be normal? God cannot be not normal. Then ultimately I am not normal. This is a shameful thing. It appears in Genesis 15:2. How does it appear? Because Abraham had no child, he brings forward someone to inherit for him. He brings Lot. But there, it says “I am childless.” When it says childless, the word for child never appears. What comes out is the word holek ariri. Holek is a participle of halak, meaning “to walk” or “to act.” I walk around diligently, earn money, and make efforts. I am active diligently. And what is ariri? It is derived from the verb arar. What is arar? It means “to be stripped bare.” It means I earn money, make efforts, and suffer diligently, but from God’s view, a person who never does evangelism is the same as walking around stripped bare. It means a shameful life. Therefore, today, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred, or hundreds of disciples are important, but through you, at least one person must receive and become a disciple. If it really doesn’t work, you must save at least your child. I told you. “Ah, when my child had a blood vessel problem on their face, I couldn’t sleep.” To me—it is not well understood to me that someone can sleep when their child has a problem. Truly, I couldn’t sleep. Yes. Then what is the method that can be done? I tried going to the hospital. They said it wouldn’t work. Then what is the method? Both sides are blocked, it’s a dilemma. But there is one place that is open. The throne of heaven is open. So, the fact that I, at thirty years old, attended early morning prayer while leaving that young child—youngly, I attended early morning. There was no other way. It wasn’t that I even wanted it to be healed. After going and praying to God, if I just go, only tears come. What kind of prayer would I know? I just touched. I just touched, but one day it was perfectly healed. Are you not witnesses? Therefore, you must pray by staking your life so that you can save at least your child. Otherwise, from God’s view, it is walking around stripped bare and shameful. So although it is a bit of a shocking expression, as for me, whether you acknowledge it or not, I have spoken the word; in Acts 1:8, the prayer topic is truly important. what kind of prayer topic? It means it must be a prayer topic for the filling of the Holy Spirit. So you said you will become a witness to the ends of the earth, but is it done by my strength? The power of the Holy Spirit must come. Only then does power come so that God causes the work of the Holy Spirit and gives the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, must you and I not receive the filling of the Holy Spirit to receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit? From now on, before God, your thoughts are not important. Your position is not important. Your values, all your knowledge is not important. Only when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you receive power and become witnesses of Christ in Jerusalem, all Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. The fact is that you and I were called today for this. Therefore, all businessmen and church leaders, because they are bound to their past selves from now on, they must completely escape from here from now on. So, if you are bound to the past, you cannot escape from spiritual disease, physical disease also comes, and ultimately it becomes a life of being deceived. Then what happens? Ultimately, you live as a servant to the unbeliever devil. Therefore, you must definitely escape from the past; making all of that a springboard for God and a springboard for evangelism is itself a “special bartizan.” He expressed it that way. Therefore, you must definitely—because today is the future, I hope you will completely escape from the past before God, and what did He say to all Remnants? Sufferings might come, difficulties might come, or success might happen. But it shouldn’t matter. But from what I see, almost 99% just get discouraged when difficulties come. They disbelieve and resent God. And when things go a bit well, they jump around and feel like they did it themselves. Yes. If you truly know the gospel, you can think of difficult times as a time schedule for prayer, and if things go well, you should rather be more ashamed. You did nothing. So in the Bible, all the “crowns of victory,” stephanos, were translated as diademata. This crown, diademata, appears only three times in Revelation. The rest—the crown of life, the crown of righteousness—are all the victory crown, stephanos. The one who has the name stephanos itself is Stephen the martyr. Then, in Revelation, you go to heaven, and because you won the spiritual war, God gives you this crown of victory. “Well done.” He praises. But because I am not worthy to receive it, I continually return the victory crown to God. I did nothing. Even if you win the spiritual war, even if evangelism is done and world evangelization is achieved, even if you save the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes and establish 1,000 bartizans, I am not the one who did it. Therefore, even if it’s not working, we don’t need to be discouraged, and even if it is working, we don’t need to act all that. No matter how wealthy you become—someone we used to know well, you know, right? You know that 1,000 chain stores were established, right? I won’t say who it is. We personally saw 1,000 chain stores; the 1,000 bartizans is absolutely not an impossible thing. Remember the fact that it can be done if God does it, and from now on, by becoming a spiritual state where it doesn’t matter, answers and sufferings are not the important things. Then what is important? God’s covenant is important, God’s plan is important, and the fulfillment of the Word is important. Therefore, your suffering and difficulties are just “everything.” It is just a process passing through, so we don’t need to be discouraged. For core disciples, from now on, they establish the 1,000 bartizans, but how do they establish them? There is definitely a prepared person. Everyone, a prepared person is not tested by people’s words. They do not follow the atmosphere. They do not follow people. Truly, as I continue to listen to Christ, the bartizan of Satan that was deeply hidden inside me, that I didn’t want to acknowledge and didn’t want to be exposed, keeps popping out as time goes on. I am saying it pops out even now. That is why we are in this seat today and I hope you receive guidance; if I say these things, others cannot do it. They will probably curse. They will curse, but I am that way. As for me, everyone else is probably healed and fine. I was so serious. I think 64,000 more demons were in me. Because based on Mark chapter 5, I calculated how many demons enter one person, and one legion enters one person, doesn’t it? One legion refers to 8,000. Because the first emperor of Rome was Emperor Augustus; at that time, during the emperor’s reign, there were 6,000 infantry, 723 cavalry, plus alpha—so it’s 8,000. Then 8,000 demons enter one person. But one day I believed in Jesus. I received Jesus. And I went to the Buddhist temple again, right? I went to the Buddhist temple. I went to the Buddhist temple, and how many demons entered? 8 times 8 is 64—demons more evil than me. Comparative degree! Not seven demons. Taking seven demons more evil than myself, each one enters. Then 64,000 demons were in me. So I remembered all of Monk Beop-jeong’s messages, and I read the entire collection of Monk Seong-cheol’s books. While underlining! So how filled with demons I must have been. So I chose only the “correct” words to speak. Everyone else looked strange. They looked greedy, looked motivated, and only I looked holy—I thought only I was Buddha in all the universe. Ah, such a “me” had the demons flee. So to you today, don’t be surprised, and don’t tease the demon-possessed person, and for you—then are you filled with the Holy Spirit? Similarly, some people say I am like a “crazy person” to our Associate Pastor Hong, and if I am a crazy person too, people will truly think Associate Pastor Hong is a crazy person—with that kind of level, if I am a crazy person, aren’t you a crazy person? Even more of a crazy person! A crazy person is a crazy person when they don’t acknowledge they are a crazy person. A real crazy person cannot say they are a crazy person. And when I say I am a sick person or have a disease, it’s when I acknowledge it. For a person who doesn’t acknowledge it, even healing doesn’t work. So today, I hope you will acknowledge it. “I am truly filled with demons, but I am filled with the Holy Spirit through Christ.” Acknowledge it like this. Yes. So carry out the prayer movement, and truly, if you carry out the Word movement, you can establish the evangelism bartizan in the entire region. And I hope there will be the blessing of establishing the absolute journey that can go as an evangelism bartizan, evangelism journey, and evangelism guidepost for the evangelism commando from now on, and in the field, they are waiting right now. In suffering, they all want to die. There are too many people who want to die. I hope you will stand as a bartizan to save them; so from now on, the scattered disciples, through the absolute journey that goes from prayer to what is prepared, establish the absolute bartizan that enjoys prayer; what are the three absolute things to achieve? I hope you receive guidance to be re-created so that you can reproduce and recreate; especially, when expressing a person who doesn’t do evangelism as the antichrist, when he did it individually, it was a shocking expression for me; after hearing those words, then you are all the antichrist. But the words that follow are more important. It is not about whether evangelism “works” or “doesn’t work.” You must definitely—but a person who attacks people beyond that does this: for example, for a person who does evangelism, they catch only this word and attack. Evangelism works. If you listen to that content, it is so. It’s not that evangelism works or doesn’t work, or evangelism works well or doesn’t work well. And a very important word was said. Jacob established only one person, Joseph, yet he evangelized the world. That wasn’t the important thing. So don’t worry about the words “if you don’t do evangelism, you are the antichrist”; a person named Ananias established just one Paul, and through Paul, the whole world was evangelized. A person named Noah saved only his family. For 120 years, he couldn’t evangelize even one person. But the family lived. Therefore, what is true evangelism? Whether I do evangelism or not, or do it well or poorly—that is not important; if I live, my family lives and the people around you will live. Shouldn’t you save at least your family? Your children—should their minds go back and forth because they received demons? For a lifetime? So today, remember that the resurrected Christ spoke for the restoration of the kingdom of God with the mission of Mt Olive, and the kingdom of God is the devil leaving. It is God’s reign coming. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that you will have the blessing of receiving guidance while continually praying for this word for a week.

O living Father God, You who were anointed as King, Prophet, and Priest on the cross, resolved all problems, and were resurrected in three days, You who now work inside us through the Holy Spirit, have granted us the mission to pray so that the kingdom of God comes—wherever we go, God reigns and demons, the devil, and Satan flee; so may the blessing of establishing the best absolute bartizans occur—to proclaim only the name of Jesus Christ, collapse the darkness working in the whole world, truly heal the sick on this earth, save the unbelievers, and deliver the covenant to the posterity—and through all the saints, grant the blessing of establishing the 1,000 bartizans that save the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes promised by God. Giving thanks to the Father, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. H

Like the Prayer of Daniel

Daniel 6:10. Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. 


When you truly believe, possess, and enjoy the gospel that Jesus is the Christ, you enter into a spiritual reality defined by blessings that no earthly force can take away. God has placed His specific mark on you to show that you belong to Him, sealing that promise with His Spirit who dwells in your heart (John 14:16-17; 1 Corinthians 3:16).

In Christ, you have already been granted every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 1:3-9). Because the Holy Spirit leads your life 24/7, following His direction ensures victory in all circumstances (John 14:26-27). Therefore, you must be careful not to grieve the Spirit by doing what He forbids (Ephesians 4:30), nor quench His fire by failing to do what He desires (1 Thessalonians 5:19).

When the Holy Spirit comes upon you in power, anything becomes possible. So, do not be discouraged by the limits of your own weakness. Your help does not originate from your own strength or human power, but from the Spirit of God (Zechariah 4:6). God has promised to pour His Spirit out upon you (Joel 2:28), giving you the strength to go to the ends of the earth as a witness for Christ (Acts 1:8).

To encourage you on this covenant journey, God dispatches His angel armies to accompany you (Hebrews 1:14). He receives your prayers through the ministry of these heavenly messengers (Revelation 8:3-5) and sends them to protect you in times of trouble (Daniel 6:22).

God’s intent is to establish His kingdom exactly where you are—in your home, church, school, and workplace (Acts 1:3). He gives you a renewed desire to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33), empowering you to boldly proclaim His truth to the world (Acts 19:8). As you proclaim Christ where He is not yet known, God binds the forces of darkness and blocks the calamities (Genesis 3:15; 1 John 3:8).

God has given you the authority to crush the works of the enemy and the power to overcome all opposition, promising that nothing will ultimately hurt you (Mark 3:15; Luke 10:19). Until the day He calls you home, your life is best lived making disciples of all nations, under the authority of the One who is with you always (Matthew 28:16-20).

The tragedy of the kingdom of Judah was that they missed these incredible blessings, leading to their fall before the Babylonians. Yet, God chose to restore His people through one man of prayer: Daniel. Daniel understood the spiritual reason for the destruction of his nation—the complete loss of the gospel.

Consequently, Daniel resolved not to compromise with the idols of Babylon (Daniel 1:8). He recognized that God had placed him in an influential government position for the specific purpose of restoring the gospel. Daniel saw the absolute spiritual reality of God’s plan to save the world through Christ.

This is why Daniel focused on the throne of the Triune God in prayer three times a day, even when it carried the penalty of death. He prioritized God’s plan over his own life, entrusting himself to the One who held his very breath. Daniel’s faith remained constant; even when he learned that the decree against prayer had been published, he did not falter. He could have taken a thirty-day break or prayed in secret, but he refused to compromise.

Daniel acknowledged God’s sovereignty in both peace and trouble, holding fast to the absolute covenant of the coming Messiah (Daniel 6:10). His prayer was not a product of agony or fear, but was filled with the joy of the Lord and thanksgiving. To Daniel, prayer was not a survival tactic for emergencies; it was his very life. His faithfulness was so evident that even King Darius recognized it, saying, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!” (Daniel 6:20).

If you are in trouble or facing pressure to compromise, you should begin the prayer of Daniel. Resolve not to defile yourself with the things of this world (Daniel 1:8) and seek to block the disasters of this age by demonstrating God’s power. Make prayer your priority, holding onto a covenant that transcends your current circumstances.

As you do, you will experience the spiritual strength that heals (Acts 1:8) and gain a wisdom that exceeds anything the world can offer (Daniel 1:20). You will find that you do not grow weary or tired (Isaiah 40:30-31). You will see the “economy of light” heal the “economy of darkness” (Acts 18:1-3), and God will surround you with disciples for the sake of world evangelization (Romans 16:1-27).


Prayer. Father, open my eyes to see the reality of the heavenly realms. Help me realize that those who are with me are more than those who are with the world. Fill me with Your strength so that I may stand firm against the enemy and save this generation from idols. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
