Devotional Worship for Praise Dept.
Scripture Reading: Acts 16:19-31

Thank you. Praise becomes the most important time to heal you. Today, what happens in the time of praise. This is a very important time schedule. This is what happened in the prison today. Now, what you must remember here is, what happens when you praise?

▣ Introduction. Praise – The Fallen Angel

This praise was stolen by the fallen angel. This angel fell and became Satan, and this was his area of responsibility—praise. So, we must restore it as a necessity. This is not just a simple matter; it will be a disaster if you don’t know this. Even though we are not fully aware of it, there are two kinds.

[ Praise Satan ]

Many people, though they themselves do not know it, are praising Satan. The angel who praised God fell and became Satan, and this is what moved the world through music.

[ Praise God ]

There are two kinds of people. People who praise God, and people who praise Satan. They are just unaware.

[ Praise Satan → Suffering ]

The more they do it, the more they are driven into suffering. That is why the more people who perform shamanistic rituals (called gut) do it, the more they enter into suffering. That is why the more you rely on superstitions like these, the more you enter into confusion.

[ Praise God → Glory ]

The more a person who praises God does it, the more they enter into the glory of God. However, when I look at the questions many people ask, they frequently ask, “What should I do?” It’s not a wrong question, but it’s regrettable. It’s usually the same: “What should I do about a problem like this?” It’s not bad to ask such a question. The question itself is a blessing because you asked God, “What should I do?” However, if you keep asking that question, what problem will arise? You suffer a great loss. In my opinion, 90% of people ask that way. Nine out of ten Remnants specifically ask, “What should I do?” even after hearing the entire message. So I think, ‘Ah, this is a common point.’ As this continues, if you look closely, 90% of believers are not receiving answers. They are enduring by grace and the covenant. That is truly the case. So, if any of you are sick, discouraged, or facing difficulties, do not be deceived and find strength.

1. Bartizan, Journey, Guidepost

You must quickly prepare three things. Don’t be discouraged, but do it quickly. God’s bartizan. You must quickly establish it within me. You must establish it in my thoughts and my spirit. Only then can you go on the journey of the throne. Only then will the guidepost of the throne finally appear in your work. This is called business success. You will leave a guidepost in your studies. Never be discouraged; build the bartizan of Jehovah.

2. Platform, Watchtower, Antenna

Then, that becomes a platform. What happens when it becomes a platform? Other people see that and come. To save more people, shouldn’t you shine a light? You establish a watchtower. Those people come and see the same blessing of God. Antenna. You must set this up quickly.

3. Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation

Then, there is something that finally comes to your work. It is Only. From this point, you begin your success. It is conveyed to others as Uniqueness. And Re-creation appears.

You must quickly create these things. And you must absolutely never be discouraged. Until it is created, you must not do anything else. Jesus told them to “not leave Jerusalem” to do this. He told them, “Wait.” He also said, “Wait for the promise of the Father. When this day comes, you will receive power.” How much power? “You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.” He clearly said this. If this doesn’t happen, many wrong things keep being done. It is regrettable.

▣ Main. Praise – The World

So, when this blessing comes to me, if I know praise, this blessing continuously grows. It is that important. When David, who was enjoying the answer (in the Introduction), praised, it went out to the whole world. When David, in whom this bartizan (in the Introduction) was established, praised, the evil spirit left. Right? So this (the Introduction) is unconditionally important. When a person in whom the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of Jehovah have been established praises, the whole world is revived. There is nothing as important as praise. Even during the worship service, the time when we praise together is a very important time. You can confess your faith and pray while praising. When the choir sings, it is a time when the darkness is completely driven out. When David praised, the evil spirit that was clinging to King Saul fled. Right? On that very night, a miracle occurred when Paul praised. It has to be that way. In Psalm 22:3, it says, “You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.” This continues. If so, how should we restore praise?

1. Official Worship Service

Naturally so. During the official worship service. When you praise during the official worship service, you are healed the most, so you must receive grace. When the choir members sing, spiritual things absolutely occur. The choir members would know this, but you must truly enjoy it as you do it. That is why I always request this at gatherings. To allow the praise before I give the message. And not to do other announcements or sequences after the praise. It is that important. The Word must follow the praise. What happens during the official worship service when we praise?

1) Exodus 15:1-27

In Exodus chapter 15, verses 1 to 27, the nation of Israel was set free. The miraculous Exodus, which no one expected, had happened. So, the entire nation gathered and praised. This praise spread to the world, but more importantly, it spread into the land of Canaan. The Bible records it this way: the people in the land of Canaan heard this news and their hearts melted. At the sound of your praise, the hearts of the forces of darkness melt. You must believe this. You must not just sing hymns. Sometimes, you should clap your hands when you praise, and sometimes, you should raise your hands and express yourselves. Especially, I see older men sitting there with serious expressions when they praise. That’s why men die sooner than women. When you praise, you must praise and do this (clap). That is an immense time. Our choir members are busy when they attend and prepare for praise, but you must remember that it is the time of the greatest blessing. The darkness of the whole world was broken. An astonishing event occurred. Everyone was surprised. How did the weak Hebrew nation of Israel defeat Egypt and come out? From the moment this news, the power of praise, was testified in the land of Canaan, work began to happen.

2) Psalm 22:3

In Psalm 22:3, it says, “You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.” Although He will also dwell in the Word, Jehovah is enthroned in the praises. It happens simultaneously. When Jehovah descends, the army of heaven is mobilized, and things like that occur.

3) 1 Samuel 16:23

During the palace worship service, an evil spirit fled while David was praising. Praise is that important. You may not quite understand what it means when I say that the darkness leaves when the choir praises. Where did I realize this? There is a place where people who are suffering from spiritual problems gather. When they sing a hymn, they throw tantrums. They can’t bear it to the point where we can see it is not normal. So, on that day, work finally happened, and a minister next to me said, “Ah, there really are demons.” I said, “Really? You didn’t know?” He said, “That’s not what I mean.” Simply put, he experienced it firsthand. I don’t know about now, but there is a ‘Moochuksan Prayer Mountain’ in Gimhae, Busan. The director is a woman, and she heals those possessed by demons. When I looked at how she does it, this person does not accept even two people; only one. She is amazing. She prays and praises with that patient all day long. It’s completely incomprehensible. Why is she doing that? All the evil spirits fled. Praise is a prayer with a melody. Right? The power is enormous. It is a prayer with music added to it. It is incredible. It is a prayer that can be sung together. The entire congregation can sing the same thing. In some ways, the whole world can sing the same thing. During the official worship service. When we hold gatherings overseas, they sing the same hymns. But people from each country sing in their own language. Yet, it sounds the same. During the worship service. After Russia was liberated, I went to a large church a long time ago. The entire top floor was the choir. So I thought, ‘Wow, there are places like this.’ But they were divided in half, with one team on this side and one team on that side. And there was a separate conductor. I went there to preach, and I sat and watched. There was another choir below. I wondered what this was, but I thought it made a lot of sense. Simply put, the front team praises at the beginning of the worship service. And in the middle, before the sermon, the other team praises. Right after it ends, before the congregational hymn, they sing a special hymn. Seeing that, I thought, ‘Ah, that’s very good.’ In worship, praise brings about events beyond imagination. In history, many things happened even on the battlefield while people were praising.

2. Individual Set-Time Worship

When you praise during your individual set-time worship. What happens when you praise during individual set-time worship? A truly amazing event occurs.

1) Psalm 78:70-72

Psalm 78:70-72 is about David’s praise. During the boring time when David was a shepherd, what he did alone was praise that completely restored the Word. Here, David’s future was decided, even though he was a shepherd. It is important. At this time, David developed his skills. He also wrote Psalms here. He did everything. Praise during set-time worship like this allows an individual to see the future.

2) Psalm 150:1-6

The phrase in Psalm 150:1-6 that startled me was, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” ‘Ah, that’s right.’ “Praise him with every instrument.” So, as I look at it, even Buddhist monks, if they repent, they can come and hit the wooden moktak and praise. What’s wrong with that? “Let all instruments praise the Lord. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”

3) Acts 16:19-31

Look at today’s main passage. A miracle occurred while they were praising on that night, in that crisis.

3. Unceasing 24, 25, Eternity

What is more important than this? Your unceasing prayer of 24, 25, and eternity will surely bring about world evangelization.

1) Remnant** 7**

The representative example is the 7 Remnants. Joseph could not pray or praise freely. So, he did it unceasingly, regardless of time. The work of changing the world happened. Do not be discouraged, and establish this bartizan of praise. Those who are sick, do not be discouraged, gain strength, and establish the bartizan of praise. It is the bartizan of praise established on the bartizan of Jehovah. It is tremendous. That is why I understand. It is shown that Martin Luther overcame evil spirits through praise.

2) Daniel 6:16-20

It also appears in Daniel 6:16-20. Daniel was about to die, and the king said this: “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!” He said this. The king came to the lion’s den the next day because if Daniel was alive, he had to save him. Do you know what the king said? “Daniel, servant of the living God!” He said this. He said, “Daniel, servant of the living God!” to God. And he quoted this: “Has your God, whom you serve continually (unceasingly), been able to rescue you?” Everyone, this praise and prayer brought about the work of changing the world.

3) Ephesians 6:18

Paul was also a person of praise. He said this: “Pray in the Spirit on all occasions (unceasingly).” What is the background of this? Pray unceasingly in the Spirit to bind and demolish Satan.

We must restore praise like this, but I had trouble restoring my hymns. But one day, as I was driving—I was driving myself at the time—I was having set-time worship in the car, and what song would I sing then? When having set-time worship. I sang a hymn, and it was different from the hymn I knew before. It gave me immense strength, and the work of healing occurred. While singing the hymn. This is what set-time worship is. Try reading the Word and praising during your set-time worship. Tremendous healing occurs. I also didn’t know that reading the Bible by the stream during a retreat on a quiet morning was so healing. It is healing. So, those who are having spiritual difficulties, do not worry; God has called you specially, so restore the prayer with a routine. There must be a routine. Even if it is difficult, just praying for a set time, exercising, and having a routine will bring about work. In John 9:3, God’s plan is in you, which is why you were called that way. “Why did this happen in my home? Is it my parents’ sin? Is it my child’s sin?” We ask this. That is wrong. “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the work of God might be displayed in him.” No one knows that.

▣ Conclusion

Time is passing quickly, so to what extent should we conclude? How should our Praise Mission, our Praise Worship Service, be concluded? It would be even better if you could create your own hymns to offer to God.

1. David

The representative figure is David. David praised so deeply that he created many Psalms, hymns, and melodies for God.

2. Paul

The representative figure is Paul. Records show that Paul praised at every important moment like this.

3. Luther

The representative figure is Martin Luther. “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” Martin Luther composed this.

The fact that such poems and songs emerged is a different story. It has a great influence, and work occurs even when we have left this earth and are gone. I write the lyrics for the WRC song once a year, and a lot of prayer goes into it. I try to ask for a short vacation when completing the lyrics. Even if it’s just two or three days. And when I go, I don’t do anything else, just focused prayer, only praying for that. That is how I complete it. But why is it difficult? It is difficult because I have to convey the covenant in the lyrics. It is also difficult for the person who composes the melody. This is because a song can be created with an emotion that arises while walking on the street. Also, a song can be created based on something that comes to mind while looking at something beautiful. But the WRC song is not like that. It must follow the flow of the covenant. So, I see that very important work will happen. Today, restore praise. Establish this bartizan (in the Introduction) and restore praise.

[ Gratitude ]

What is the conclusion? The best medicine is gratitude. The deadliest poison is complaint and dissatisfaction. It is poison. The best medicine is gratitude and praise. We must restore this.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to experience this blessing of being healed all this week.

Prayer. We give thanks and praise to God. May this time be a time of healing. May it be a time to taste the power of God. May it be a time when the work of re-creation occurs. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

2025.11.09 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Acts 16:11-15

▣ Introduction. The reason we must receive answers
Thank you.

1. New family
When Paul’s team carried out evangelism, the most important ones were the newly saved new family members. Now, how can these new family members receive prayer answers? If the new family does not know prayer answers, you will stumble over many kinds of tests. Today we must surely find this.

2. Associate pastors (Timothy, Titus, Tychicus)
Also, the most important teams when Paul evangelized were the associate pastors. You know well people like Timothy, Titus, and Tychicus. There were very important associate pastors. Now, how can our associate pastors receive this answer? If associate pastors, who are qualified to receive this answer, do not receive it, it becomes extremely difficult. And life as an associate pastor in the church becomes very hard. You may roughly understand this, but if you treat it that way, far too many problems are passed down spiritually and to posterity.

3. Church leaders (Gaius)
What did our church leaders do best? They saved evangelists and many associate pastors. Concerning Gaius it also says, “host of me and of the whole church (evangelists).” Now, how can this answer be received? You must surely take this with you today. If you do not know this, church leaders will spend their whole lives in turf fights and human fights and waste all their time. That is unjust. As a result of my analysis, nearly 90% of church leaders do not see the evangelism movement arise and do not have answers. That must not be. The ones who should receive the greatest answers are the church leaders.
Personally, though I had difficulties, I received truly many answers when I was an associate pastor. To the point that I think, “I wish I could be an associate pastor once more.”

▣ Main. How can we receive answers?
Now then, as we look at Paul’s journey today, how then can we receive answers?

1. Prayer
First, you must first know what prayer is. Even if He did not teach preaching, Jesus taught prayer. Therefore, if you do not know what prayer is, even if answers come you will not recognize them.

1) Jesus’ words about prayer
These are the very first words Jesus spoke.
(1) Matthew 6:10
“Pray for God’s kingdom to come.” That is in the Lord’s Prayer.
(2) Matthew 6:33
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.” He said, “and all these things will be given to you as well.”
(3) Acts 1:3
Then in Acts 1:3 it says, “He explained about the things concerning God’s kingdom for forty days.” Frankly, I realized there, “Ah!” I used to have many prayer topics. I came to know that it was not that. And the Lord Himself said it directly: “Do not pray, ‘Give me this, give me that.’” Did He not say that God already knows? And then He said, “Because you can receive all things, seek His kingdom and His righteousness.”

2) Prayer is enjoying the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne
I kept seeing this and, truly, to an ignorant person like me, God’s Word was graciously opened.

(1) 7 bartizans
It is prayer by which the grace of the Triune God becomes a bartizan. “He explained for forty days” means prayer is enjoying the power of the throne. And God said, “It is finished.” Prayer is building the bartizan within that. We cannot save the world with any other strength. He said He would give power. Therefore we need the 5 strengths. He promised us the power to overcome the ruler of the air. And He already spoke all the roads concerning the future. Prayer is when these become my bartizan. Since I did not know what prayer is, I frankly did not pray well. Long ago I did not know how to pray.

(2) 7 journeys
There is a road by which the Triune God even now answers. Going on that is the journey. You may not readily believe it, but the 10 secrets of the throne protect you. Though we are much shaken, the 10 platforms of the throne are ours. We may meet many kinds of matters. There are the 5 assurances of the throne. We can win without fighting. There are the 9 flows of the throne. Therefore, when we meet people, we obtain the lifelong answer and relay the answer. The fact that we are seated here today is the camp of the throne. If you do not know this, there is no answer. This was opened to me.

(3) 7 guideposts
On Calvary the past, present, and future, everything, was resolved. Then we have nothing to worry about. On Mt Olive He gave the absolute mission. Finding that and giving it is most important for us. Finally, in the Mark’s upper room, “When the day of Pentecost had fully come”—this is not a feast day but the three feasts kept always, daily. That is how I came to understand it. Otherwise it is hard to receive answers. At last, spiritual eyes were wide opened. Those who were in tribulation should have stumbled, but they gathered and established the Antioch Church. If you are in tribulation you should flee, but they set the missions strategy. This is our road. It is the guidepost. Having firmly established this guidepost that breaks the darkness—that is the first camp. We must surely heal the Nephilim. We must surely conquer Rome. I have now spoken of the 7 bartizans, the journey, and the guidepost. This is prayer.

※ By the answers of 7·7·7 prayer the door to the 5,000 tribes came
So, when I open my eyes in the morning, I first concentrate and pray the 7·7·7 prayer. And then all day long, while deeply thinking, I pray the 7·7·7 one by one again. It is so good. The future God gives comes into view.
At that time, answers come to me. “Do you truly want to do missions? Going to America and Europe is just riding on a plane. If you want to do missions that truly break the darkness, save the 5,000 tribes.” From then until now, the door to the 5,000 tribes has continued to open.

What is prayer? It is enjoying the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne that God has given. Now, if you know this prayer, the Lord surely promised you. “All these things will be added to you.” For decades I learned from the Bible that I had been praying wrongly. Of course there were no answers. I had no power to save unbelievers. First, I had no money. When I tried to save others, I had no money. I know that money is not the greatest thing, but I did not have it. I had no strength. How can you do world evangelization? I was telling some kind of lie. I had understood prayer wrongly.

3) Find the prayer Jesus taught and enter into the Word. When you understand what evangelism is, answers begin to come.
New family members, you must find the prayer Jesus taught. Church leaders, you are important people. Do not listen to my words; you must look at God’s Word. Among the many listening to my messages from outside, there are those with a commission and those who criticize. Do neither of those two; enter into the Word.

Then, from that point, frankly speaking, because I knew what evangelism is, answers began to come. Before I understood the gospel and this prayer, I was always poor, those beside me were poor, “you are poor, I am poor,” and money became god. Only money, money, money—that is all I saw.
(1) Remnants
Our Remnants must study not to follow the world but to lead the world.
(2) Church leaders
Blessing is prepared for the church leaders. Do not follow unbelievers; raise the 70 to save unbelievers. Even if I cannot do it, I must believe what is right.
(3) Watchmen of world evangelization
God has called you as watchmen of world evangelization. Other things are not the answer. Right? They are the process, not the answer. “Oh my, I fought with that person; I lost. I won.” That is the process, not the answer. The answer must be that God’s Word is fulfilled. This is the prayer.
If you know this prayer and do this, say, for one year, what will happen? Try it. The secret of prayer is here.

2. Answers
Second, you must know what answers are. Now, since most people do not know what answers are, when you pray do answers come? No. Then, in fact, you do not know what an answer is. There is a towel here. If I pray, will this towel fly over there? It will not. Therefore, because you do not know what an answer is, you cannot enjoy the answer. You do not know prayer, and you do not know answers.

1) By prayer, first the bartizan of God (the bartizan of the Word) is built within me
The answer is that first the bartizan of God is built within you. The bartizan of the Word is first built. This is extremely important. Therefore, during worship you listen to the Word and say “Amen.” During the time of prayer the bartizan is being built. This is the beginning of the answer. Why would someone in full health jump from a high place and commit suicide? Even just looking down makes you dizzy, but he jumped from there. Why? Because within him the bartizan of suicide had already been built. Therefore he surely goes on that journey—because it has been built. Then the result that comes out—that is the guidepost.

So, because you do not know what an answer is, you cannot wait. You must have the bartizan built by much prayer in order to go on the journey. You must go on God’s journey in order for the guidepost to appear.
I can promise you in advance. With the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the age of holy meditation, many will come to life in our church. The 5,000 tribes will flock in. I promise. I said this 38 years ago. I said it in a rented 12-pyeong (small) building. If we are truly those who will carry out world evangelization, God will bless everything. He will make it a church that saves the world. That is not what we do. God does it. When this bartizan is built, you go on the journey. Now, when the answer has come, you speak by looking at the guidepost: “Wow, the answer has come.”

(1) Grieving the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30)
Now, because we do not know this, sometimes we should endure but we do not, and sometimes we should go but we do not. So we end up doing what we should not. Concerning this He said, “do not grieve the Holy Spirit.” It is in Ephesians 4:30.

(2) Quenching the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19)
Because we do not know this and do not know what an answer is, sometimes the answer has come but we do not act. Concerning this He said, “do not quench the Spirit.” It is 1 Thessalonians 5:19. You must surely remember this.
Now, first—what is it? You must know what prayer is. If you know what prayer is, the power that transcends time and space comes. Right? It surely comes. You must believe. Only when you believe does it become a bartizan.

2) You can go on the journey.
Only when there is a bartizan can you go on the journey.

3) You leave guideposts. The guideposts are what have already been fulfilled; the answers have come.
You must go on the journey to leave guideposts. This is certain.
There was a woman who, secretly, deceived her husband and everyone and gambled. So the husband, being deeply distressed, found out that his wife was a gambler. It is easy to say, but he locked his wife in, bolted the outside door, and came to me. At that time I was an evangelist. He said, “Evangelist, I wanted to go to the retreat and came to go with you.” I said, “Deacon, please go back and unlock the door for your wife. If she is locked up like that inside, she will go mad and die. So unlock the door and come. Your wife already has a bartizan built within her by which she cannot help but gamble.” She cannot help but gamble. People do not know this.

Another deaconess said, “Why does my husband drink like that until dawn every day…” She said she could not live with him. I said, “I do not think so.” I said, “Your husband is searching for something. The bartizan must be changed. The only person who can help is you, but you are the problem.” Right? She understood.

They may be listening to the message even now. A couple asked me a question: “We have decided to divorce for this and that reason.” But I sensed that they were people of the Spirit. So I spoke rightly, “Pray more before you do it.” I said, “I am not the one to pray for that man. You are. Do not be mistaken.” Listening to it, it was right. Am I going to pray for someone I do not know?

※ If you do not know prayer and do not know answers, you know nothing; then you must live and die insisting on your own way.
Building the bartizan is the most important first answer. You understand, right? Since you do not know prayer and do not know answers, in the end you know nothing. You will have to live and die by insisting on your own way. Your way may be right sometimes, but it is more often wrong.
Therefore, the guidepost is formed, and this is what has already been fulfilled. If you know this, you will understand the whole Bible.

(1) Mark 11:24 “Believe that you have received what you asked for in prayer.”
“Believe that you have received what you asked for in prayer.” Why? Because the bartizan has been built.

(2) Joshua 1:3 “I have given you…”
To Joshua He said, “I have already given it to you.” He should have said, “I will give,” but He said, “I have given.” I came to understand that. There has never been a time when, once the bartizan of the LORD was built, the answer did not come.

3. The power of world evangelization
Third, you must know what the power of world evangelization is. If you know, that is enough. Those who were with Paul knew this.
First, you must carry it. You must know what prayer is. Right? Only then can you pray. You must know what an answer is. Only then can you enjoy it. What is the road and method of world evangelization? There are three.

1) The absolute bartizan
When the road is blocked, it is not about building a bartizan. It is building the absolute bartizan. This is what our associate pastors must do. It is not just a bartizan. It is the absolute bartizan. Now, the road has been blocked. What do we do? We give up. From what I have seen, those who do not study well give up when difficulties come. Those who studied somewhat well push stubbornly. Both have problems. Right? You must not give up or stubbornly push back.
They truly prayed. “In a vision, a man of Macedonia was calling us.” What should I do? Just wait. The absolute bartizan. This word “absolute” means a bartizan that never disappears eternally. If our associate pastors find even one such place, history will arise for you. Do not worry at all. If you cannot find this, you will suffer until the day you die. Elders, church leaders—if you find even one absolute bartizan, all answers will come. Right? You have not found it even once. If you have not yet found it, that is unjust, right? You should find it.

2) The absolute journey
Second. What should you do when you go for the first time? You must make the absolute journey. Not just a journey—the absolute journey. What I am talking about is not only an answer; it is the power to carry out world evangelization. What kind of absolute journey is it? Look.
(1) Verse 13 – Place of prayer, Lydia
In Acts 16:13, “On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we thought there would be a place of prayer,” and they met Lydia.
(2) Verse 14 – The Lord opened Lydia’s heart
In Acts 16:14 it says, “The Lord opened her heart.”
(3) Verse 15 – Mission home and the Philippi church, supporter of Paul’s world missions
You read it today, right? “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” This was the beginning of the mission home. Later, this became the Philippi church. This church later supported Paul’s world missions.
(4) Philippians 1:3–4 – A person inside prayer
Do you know what Paul said? “I always thank my God every time I remember you,” he said. “In all my prayers for all of you I always pray with joy.” There are people who come to mind whenever we pray. There are people who come to mind whenever we are upset. Right? There are people who become a thanksgiving whenever we pray. A church leader who is inside the pastor’s prayer—look closely at Paul; this is necessary. A pastor inside the church leader’s prayer; Remnants who are inside the prayers of praying saints—this is the happiest. This is called the absolute journey. This is the method of evangelism and world evangelization.

3) The absolute guidepost
Third, what is it? It is the absolute guidepost of world evangelization. What is the absolute guidepost?
(1) Verses 16–18 – Healing the demon-possessed
Now, while going to meet Lydia, they met a demon-possessed woman. This now is the absolute guidepost. This is a marvelous thing. They healed her. Demon-possessed people suffer greatly. They healed her.
(2) Verses 19–40 – The work in the prison
Then, because their source of income was gone, the merchants accused them. Thus they were imprisoned. In the prison, again, a work arose. You must surely remember this.
What is prayer? What is an answer? What is the power of world evangelization? If you know only this, it is enough.

▣ Conclusion
Then a conclusion comes out.

1. Re-challenge, reproduction, re-creation
Re-challenge, reproduction, re-creation. If this does not happen, in worldly terms, it “won’t pay.” You must firmly hold to this. The answer comes out.

2. Tithe (Malachi 3:10)
Finally, I want to mention that every church likely has concerns about budgets. Do you know the fundamental meaning of the tithe? The land of Israel was divided among the 12 tribes. It was divided—given to 11 tribes, and not given to the Levite tribe. Why? “Do not let the lamp in the temple go out. The Levites will take turns doing 24. Wear the names of the 11 tribes over your heart and pray.” That is it. “Therefore, you 11 tribes, just bring one-tenth of the land you received to them.” Then it becomes equal. In some sense, the tithe is less an offering than something to be given as a matter of course. It is not that we helped the Levites. We gave what was the Levites’. So that they would pray for us. That is the meaning of the tithe.

As for the church—God even said this: “Test me in this—if you tithe—see whether you will be blessed or not.” In the Bible the phrase “test God” appears only there. “Test God,” He said. “Check why the goods in your storehouse are rusting or being eaten by moths.” That is the tithe. Therefore, if you give the tithe properly, the church budget will never be lacking. Though it is in the Bible, we keep doing it wrongly and saying, “We don’t have, we don’t have.” We truly must be blessed. Teach this to the children as well. For some people, offerings are precious. Offerings given to the church are the economy of light. You must not treat that lightly. You must teach it properly to posterity. That is the economy of light.

3. Paul’s team that gave nine-tenths – Offerings are the economy of light
To conclude—what is even more important? Paul’s team did not give just a tithe. The reason is, they gave nine-tenths. I pray that such Remnants will arise. Remnants who have the strength to give nine-tenths. Right? If that sounds unpleasant, then earn much. What is the problem in logic with earning ten billion a month, giving nine billion to the church, and using one billion yourself until you burst? Logically it stands. Therefore, the Early Church team gave the “tithe of nine.” The economy of light. Think much on this, and truly from this week find out: what is prayer, what on earth is an answer, and what is the power of world evangelization? I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to discover this. I will pray.

Prayer. We sincerely thank You, God. Let this be a time to confirm Your Word. Let us enjoy the answers of new challenge, reproduction, and re-creation. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
