Form the 24 Team of World Remnants

2025.11.01 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Evangelist’s Life and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (44)
– Model 38 of the 3 Courtyards –
Scripture Reading: Acts 19:8

This is a message given especially to Remnants and to TCKs. However, the adults must understand it even better.

Therefore, World Remnants across the globe must be formed as 24 teams. In a sense, it is not “form teams,” but rather “they become formed.” This is what now moves the world.

▣ Introduction [ 24 Rhythm ] Then we must understand “24” a little. What in the world is this? Everyone listening to today’s message must derive an answer to “What is my 24?” What is 24? You must think a little today as you receive the message. Is it an instruction to pray for 24 hours? No. Simply put, what is “24 prayer”? The answer must differ for each individual. You have caught the line of prayer by riding its rhythm. Right? What is a drug addict? For them, it is “drug rhythm 24.” They are not doing it every moment, yet it is still 24. Speaking positively, “prayer 24” does not mean doing nothing but praying. So in my case, I do it this way: I concentrate morning, noon, and evening.

[ 3 Concentrations ] I do this (3 Concentrations). In the morning I do it for several hours. You must do this, and you must have the children do it. In the morning, when I get up, I must act—I must prepare. Therefore I set the standard of concentration on breathing. Here, all the disciples sitting in Europe—your brain cells are gradually breaking down little by little. Therefore you must do it. Your lungs are shrinking. Your body lacks oxygen. Therefore, in the morning, fully restore. I get up several hours earlier and fully restore in the morning. In the daytime I confirm everything. When something happens, do not pray after the fact; see your work inside prayer. Studying at school and it’s hard—then pray? Even that is not bad; many do not even do that. But see your studies inside prayer. That is 24. Do not listen to people’s words first; listen to people’s words inside prayer. Then you have completely caught the rhythm of prayer. If Remnants become like this, they will undoubtedly succeed. When this is not in place, you keep doing what is wrong and what is other. It is frustrating. Because this is not set, you keep suffering. Then you keep doing what is wrong, or you stop altogether. What happens then? The posterity reach the point of death.

[ 3 Settings ] When I proceed like this, these form (3 Settings). Three settings. A platform arises. A watchtower that shines light to save others arises. Then there is an antenna by which I can speak with certainty. As if inserting a chip into a mobile phone, it is set.

[ 3 Answers ] Then I go forth having received answers (3 Answers). Wherever I go, there are problems. I already go with the answer. You must surely realize this. Many people fall into conflict and difficulty. You go forth carrying the blessing of renewal. There are many who say, “Truly, I cannot understand this person at all.” If so, you will lose. It is not that this person is incomprehensible; they are in difficulty. Right? They are in difficulty, though they may not show it. You must quickly renew. Crisis is opportunity. This is my 24.

1. Egypt Then what happened in Egypt? In Egypt, there arose seven who did this (3 Concentrations, 3 Settings, 3 Answers). Jochebed—having sent Moses away, would she not have done (24)? Jethro the church leader—having taken the troublemaker as a son-in-law, would he not have done (24)? Moses—who had to confront Egypt, would he not have done (24)? Joshua, Caleb, and there Rahab. There are seven. When these seven were formed as a team, Egypt was overturned. If there are only two church leaders who know this power of prayer, a church will come alive. The very vocabulary they use is already different. Without this power, their spiritual eyes grow dark while their physical eyes grow keen—keen to others’ weaknesses but blind to their own. When seized by the devil, Adam and Eve’s spiritual eyes went dark and their physical eyes grew bright—they realized they were naked. Remnants must not be deceived. Seven—seven.

2. Philistine As you know, what happened with the Philistines? There were four. Hannah, Jesse, Samuel, and David. Four overturned it (24). Did they do nothing and only pray? No. They saw the world inside the power of prayer. They studied carrying the power of prayer. You must surely discover this.

3. Aram As you know, what was it like in the era of the nation of Aram? There were three: the church leader Obadiah, the senior Elijah, and the junior Elisha. Three overturned it. Right?

4. Babylon What about Babylon? Five overturned it. Five who enjoyed this blessing and power: Daniel, the three young men, and Esther. These five overturned it. You need not worry about whether it works or not. Remnants, discover this blessing (3 Concentrations, 3 Settings, 3 Answers). For TCKs it is even harder—discover this blessing. For CCKs in other cultural spheres it is even harder—discover this. For NCKs who have absolutely no cultural sphere it is even harder—discover it.

5. Rome What about Rome? In Romans chapter 16 there are about twenty-some people. With this they overturned it. Among us are church leaders—be sure to do this (Introduction) and restore your health. Remnants, restore the spiritual summit. Though they are young in age, they must be raised as summits who receive great spiritual blessing.

▣ Main. With what content did these people bring change?

1. Acts 2:9–11 In Acts 2:9, 10, and 11, multiethnic people from fifteen nations gathered. What is here now?

1) 3 Seasons Something very important appears: “When the day of Pentecost had come.” You must always enjoy the blessing of the three feasts. The Jews did it only on the feast days. That is failure. Always enjoy them.

2) All Nations Then the multiethnic will surely live there.

3) Future More important is this: in 2:17–18 the future becomes visible. We already hold the future—the answer.

2. Perfect There, as mentioned earlier, teach three perfections. Teach what is perfect.

1) Christ What is it? The perfection of Christ. As said earlier, all is contained within this. The Christ before eternity and the incarnate Christ are all included. Pray in that name. The risen Christ—there is no need to worry about future employment. The Christ who will stand as the returning Lord—we know the eternal things. The Christ who will stand as the Judge—the perfection of this Christ.

2) Prayer “Every Sabbath”—teach our Remnants the perfection of prayer.

3) Answers Teach the perfection of the answer—the Kingdom of God.

This is what Remnants must possess.

3. Future And what is it? Your future is separate.

1) Acts 19:21 “You must also see Rome”—because there are 237 nations.

2) Acts 23:11 “You must testify also in Rome.”

3) Acts 27:24 “You must stand before Caesar.”

▣ Conclusion. 24 From now on, even if Remnants do not get immediate answers, it is fine. Without losing heart, you must know how to do 24. There are a few things to reference for this. What most helps with 24?

1. Edit, Plan, Design Editing, planning, and designing—these aspects are deeply related to 24.

2. OURS Do what is truly important: Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation. This system. Finding this is 24.

3. WIOS God is always with us—With, Immanuel. Do not worry about anything. Everything later becomes an answer—Oneness. This is a system. This is 24. 24 is not difficult. Thirty-eight years ago someone handed me a book. I did not even open it. I saw the title and the letters on the cover and drew the answer. What was it? A book saying that to protect your health you must breathe properly. I saw it and answered on the spot. Then I bought all the books on it. At Seoul National University, there was Professor Hong Tae-su who wrote much—that helped me most. I read them all. Editing. Then I began to see things—planning. “Ah, if I do it like this, it will work. If someone else is like this, I can help. I can connect this to prayer.” Designing. What is difficult about this? We must do evangelism, right? I read every book on evangelism. 24. But in the Bible the answer comes. In prayer the answer comes. No—the answer comes in the field. Done? That is 24. Then, although others say it is difficult, answers come to me. Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation. With, Immanuel, Oneness. Remnants must possess these.

[ 300% ] Therefore the conclusion: preparation for 300%. If you do not receive this answer, missions are difficult. Bill Gates received it, did he not? You must receive it—300%. Especially those of you in Europe, begin to pray for “Only.” Simply put, do it until it works—Only! Do not do other things. Then Uniqueness will come. Then everywhere you go, the works of Re-creation arise. “Our workplace is difficult.” Not so. Many receive answers in difficult workplaces. “Public service is hard.” Yet in the Bible the true answers were received by public servants. “In the military there is no freedom.” Yet the true works arose in the military. Moses, Joshua, Caleb, David—they are all soldiers.

Today you need only think on and imprint what is important. You will see answers. Therefore Remnants, arm yourselves with this (Introduction). Do this first, without fail. “So where should we pray?” That means you do not know prayer. “When should we pray?” That means you do not know prayer. Did Joseph go to a prayer room to pray? Must you go to a prayer room to pray? That means you do not know prayer. Joseph prayed while being dragged as a slave—that is called 24. David prayed while being pursued—that is 24. Even when problems come, it is okay—see them with praying eyes.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this will become the best timetable across the nation, the world, and Europe. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give thanks. Let this become the timetable in which we gain new strength; let us know God’s mystery so that we are not deceived by our weakness; let us enjoy the mystery of power so that we are not deceived by reality. Open our spiritual eyes so that we are not deceived in the midst of despair. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

The Foster Family Movement of Businesspeople in Europe and Worldwide

2025.11.01 Business Missions
The 237 Nations and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (44)
– Bartizan 38 of the 3-day Weekend Age –
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8

There are new family members who receive many answers. There are also many existing believers who do not receive answers. Now, what does that mean? There are new family members who have received tremendous answers. In the Bible, there is Rahab the prostitute. She is a new family member. Yet she received a blessing greater than anyone. She saved the spies, and because of that they entered the land of Canaan. And in the land of Canaan she married. Therefore her descendant is David. What does that mean? For example, while you are in Europe now, there is something you must do. There are many things, but it is to find the person whom God has prepared. The two spies received great blessing because they met Rahab. For example, our Deacon Kim Junha is in France. There he must do two things. He must gain the trust of those in high positions. Another is to raise up one important disciple in France. Everything is contained in that. That will surely lead to saving a nation. In Rahab’s case, she completely saved a nation.

Therefore, there is a sign. She spoke only of Christ, and she clung to that completely. Among such people there are some who are a little lacking. Then help them. But among them there is an intelligent person. That is the one prepared.

「Europe, World – Family movement」 (Acts 1:8) Today, what word should we in Europe and the world hold and pray? What movement should those in work in Europe and the world do? It is the Family movement. We must turn our eyes to this. We cannot meet them by our own power. Therefore, it is important.

Let me give one more example. An American soldier was stationed and working in Korea. During that time, he preached the gospel to a shoe-shine boy. But this shoe-shine boy was a decent person. The soldier took the shoe-shine boy as his son. He took him as a son and brought him to America. Because he was smart, he educated him. That person is Pastor Billy Kim, who now leads Far East Broadcasting. Originally, he was a shoe-shine boy. He had no hope, but he was intelligent. God had prepared it. When the gospel was preached, he understood the gospel. Therefore, in Europe and the world, and also in Korea, we must open our eyes greatly to this word (Family movement).

▣ Introduction
1. Spiritual problems Now, these spiritual problems are truly the responsibility of the age and my responsibility. Therefore, this word becomes an important word. Without doing much, great times are formed.

2. National problems In the early days, this movement existed in every difficult country. Simply put, it became a national movement. After the Korean War (6·25), Korea was so difficult that people could not eat. At that time, advanced nations sought out the talented people of our nation and made them family. They did nothing else, but sent tuition. I was also one of them. Even now, when I hear “Sweden,” I understand. The person who made me family and helped me was Swedish. Of course, we never even met face to face. But that person took me as his child and continually sent tuition. I, being thankful, sent letters of thanks. If I had done well, I could have met, but since I was young, I simply did not know and passed by, not knowing how important this was. I wrote letters just because I was told to write. If someone had told me this at that time, if I had known the message, since I was already in middle school then, I could have done something tremendous. But that person does not know that I became a pastor and am preaching the gospel. However, the influence of that person who helped me when I was a middle-schooler was very great—because our country was so difficult. Now we need to do this movement. Since our country has become an advanced nation, it is time to begin and to repay. It was not only me; the powerful nations looked over the whole of our nation, sought only the talented people, and made them family. Therefore, this is not something to fret over, but to store in your heart. It is written that Jacob stored in his heart what Joseph confessed. That is enough. As you hear today’s message, you must store it in your heart. Helping the talent of a nation is to gain a nation.

3. International As a result, internationally this movement arose. It arose like this.

4. Church Then the church began this movement. The church unfolded this “make-family” movement and helped our nation.

5. Disciple What must we do now? We must open our eyes to the “make-family” movement as disciples. To find one disciple—that is good. Without doing a great work, your spiritual state changes. Somehow you communicate with the throne. Many people take this lightly and pass by without knowing. Therefore, those in work in Korea must find the talents among the 5,000 tribes and do the “make-family” movement. One person per person. At that time, something amazing happens. How much money is needed to help that person? It is only the price of a cup of coffee. As we go, we can buy a cup of coffee, can we not? The wealthy in advanced nations, when they are bored walking down the street, they buy a coffee and drink it. But for the 5,000 tribes, that is living expenses. Therefore, raise up talents.

▣ Main. One person One person is enough. Even if not many people—one person is enough. Now then, when we actually do world missions, what did Jesus command?

1. All nations “Go to all nations.” He spoke exactly like this. Now, how will we actually do this? Easier said than done. We must work. We must study. Therefore, this word (Family movement) is a very important word. And “Go to all people.” In today’s text, “Go to the ends of the earth.” And He gave an immense promise.

1) Matthew 28:16–20 He first said this: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” “I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” And He said, “Go and make disciples of all nations.” All of you—those in work and church leaders across Korea, and the many disciples in Europe—must hold this mystery: “I will raise up one talent.” Then miracles arise. I have said this a few times, have I not? Even now, it defies understanding. I went to a unit that trained for one year. President Park Chung-hee created it to strengthen combat power, so they trained us for fifty minutes to death and let us rest for ten minutes. I was there for several months and simply thought, “This is hard.” While resting for ten minutes, a thought entered my mind: “Why am I doing this here? What does God want? Surely there is a disciple in this place. I will find that disciple.” I made a resolution, and soon after, works began to arise. I myself was surprised. They called me out to the drill ground—called me and said, “From today you will serve in the administrative office.” That itself is not important. I was so glad, because I could rest. Because of that, the commander received the gospel. It was like a miracle. Because of that, every week I preached a message to thousands of soldiers gathered together. They told me to do it. Even I wondered, “How did this happen?” And when I walked by, my fellow soldiers would murmur. One soldier, looking at me, said, “Wow, he is too good to be here.” They said that among themselves. One disciple. You must never use humanism for this; it is one disciple who comes by God’s guidance.

2) Mark 16:15–20 Heal them. “Pray in My name. Lay hands on the sick. In My name, cast out demons.” It is an immense message. It is a complete answer.

3) Acts 1:8 Then He will give power. “When you receive the filling of the Holy Spirit, you will receive power.” I prayed long and thought, “What is the filling of the Holy Spirit?” It is to be equipped, by the Triune God, with the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost of the throne.

2. Model There is a model that did this “make-family” movement well. We need to look at it. One person can save a nation.

1) Acts 2:10 Simply at the Mark’s upper room, they gathered and received grace. They received the gospel accurately. She was also someone who did work well. She was a Roman citizen. We do not know whether she attended the gathering because of her husband, but she attended. Then see what she did.

2) Acts 18:4 Where did she turn her eyes? To the synagogue. This is different.

3) Acts 18:24–28 And then what? Apollos. Apollos was a tremendous talent. To Apollos they relayed the accurate gospel and power. You need only do this. When you meet an intelligent talent, if you simply teach what the gospel is and what prayer is, that one succeeds.

3. Contents These are the contents of the “make-family” movement. You must relay three important things.

1) Christ (17:1–9) The perfection of Christ. Chapter 17.

2) Prayer (18:4) And what must you teach? The perfection of prayer. Then it is finished. What about you? Can you pray? The perfection of prayer—this must be taught. Therefore, it says they went every Sabbath.

3) Answer (19:8) Next, the perfection—what is the answer? Acts 19:8. It says, “the Kingdom of God.” The throne, the Kingdom of God, the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God—this is the answer. The perfection of the answer. The bearing of fruit comes afterward. For example, if you mishandle human relationships, it may seem fine at the time, but later what is wrong comes. If you know nothing of prayer, later spiritual problems come. Now, even if you pray, this towel does not immediately turn into gold—that is not it. But later, the accurate answer comes. Teach this to your children. Teach this to talented people among the multiethnic. This is a tremendous unseen work. Frankly, because we did not do it, the powerful nations arose and took the talents away. Is that not so? Because we did not do it, Babylon arose and took them all. Rome took them all. Now the three organizations are taking them all. We—this is not to say “do it” by force—we simply have no thought. Find the talents. Find the talents among the 5,000 tribes. And do not merely take care of them. Make them family.

▣ Conclusion
1. Divine order It must become a heavenly mandate. Is that not so?

2. Calling And this must not be hard for us, but must become a calling.

3. Duty And what is it? It must become a mission. I understood easily. Why? Because I received this help. Even if you do not do it well, it is okay. Missionary Mackenzie came to Korea, became ill, and could not do it properly. Yet works arose.

All of you—this is a golden opportunity. Why am I in Europe? You must ask. All those in work in Korea must ask. Why have I become a church leader in this age? Why have I become a church leader in work? There is one thing you must not be deceived by: answers come simply by asking the question. This is important. Simply by asking, answers come. Therefore, you must do this today. Today this is the Core, a gathering of those in work. At this time you must ask—within your heart. “God, if I become a pastor, what should I do? There are already so many pastors. There are so many excellent pastors beside me—what shall I do?” And when studying in graduate school, there were so many outstanding people. I asked, “What should I do?” Then came the answer: “There are many pastors. But the churches of the world are closing. What will you do?” I easily obtained the answer. Then the answers kept coming—astonishingly. I always regret that so many answers came that, since I did not have the vessel, I caused and received a few difficulties. Our Remnants must have the vessel, and you must pray that your posterity will grow exactly like this.

Today in Korea it is work missions, but now in Europe you are actually participating in worship. May this be a time of imprinting. People come to the sanctuary and just go; but you must gain answers from the Word and imprint. You do not need to memorize. It does not appear on exams. It does not appear when getting a job. It is not needed. You imprint. With what? With prayer. Sometimes, tell it to your children; when you meet those close to you, share it. You must do this. This is called forum. One reason the Jews conquered the world is that they did a lot of forum. At mealtimes, they do two hours of forum. Therefore, many talents emerged from there.

May this be a precious time when God’s voice is heard to those in work across the nation and the world, and especially to God’s people in Europe. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, and the eternal love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be with those in work across the nation and the world, and especially with God’s people in Europe today, from now to eternity, always. Amen.

The Assurance of Forgiveness and the Answer of 25

2023.04.16 District Message
Scripture Reading: 1 John 1:9

Many people in the world do not know why they should go to church. They do not know why they should go and worship. They also do not know why the world continually experiences schizophrenia, suffering, and many problems. Suddenly, within just a few years, the number of people suffering from mental illness has greatly increased worldwide. Unable to endure, some have set fires. Without any reason, they kill people—it is not in their right mind. They do not even know why. This week, through your district Bible study, you must surely enjoy and convey something important.

God has forgiven us and granted atonement—but what exactly did He do? Only when you know this can you have assurance. Only then can you receive the 25 answers. Rather than explaining it with excessive complexity, there is something essential you must know and convey. If someone commits a crime and goes to prison—well, in a sense, that is inevitable, is it not? It is only right. If they suffer there, realize their wrong, and come out—then it is done. “I will never commit that crime again.” Then that’s enough. Or if someone says, “I used to do bad things, but I will stop,” then stop doing them. Is that not so? Jesus did not bear the cross because of such things. Why did Jesus bear the cross?

▣ Introduction

1. The sin of leaving God. The sin of leaving God—losing the way—that is why He bore the cross. To heal a cold? A cold can be cured with medicine, can it not? If I have bad habits, I can fix them. For that, there is no need for a church, nor is there a need to attend one. But this sin can never be solved without the mystery of the cross of Christ.

1) Genesis 3:4–5. In Genesis chapter 3, this tremendous incident occurred—being seized by Satan.

2) Genesis 6:4–5. As you know, after leaving God, people tried to live diligently but became Nephilim.

3) Genesis 11:1–8. They tried to live diligently, but in the end, they gained nothing. They became the Tower of Babel. They left God.

2. The spiritual problem of ancestors and the family line. Because of this, tremendous spiritual problems arose in the ancestors and family line. It may not appear outwardly, but they arose in many ways, both large and small.

1) Acts 13. So what are people doing all over the world? The sorcery found in Acts chapter 13.

2) Acts 16. The divination found in Acts chapter 16.

3) Acts 19. The great idol worship found in Acts chapter 19. People fall into these. Unbelievers do not consider these sins at all.

3. Suffering. As a result, what happens? Because they left God, continual suffering comes. What are the six types of suffering? People do not know at all.

1) John 8:44. Jesus taught, “You belong to your father, the devil.” That is serious. People are under this (John 8:44). They do not even realize it. Would any respectable person consider what is in (Introduction 1–2) to be sin? This is the difference. Having remained unaware for so long, the problem cannot be solved.

2) Exodus 20:1–5. Because suffering comes, without realizing it, they worship idols. Without realizing it—because they are so distressed and frustrated—they go to fortune-tellers. They continue to commit the grave sin that destroys even the next generation.

3) Matthew 11:28. Then illness of the heart begins. They thought this would bring happiness, but illness of the heart comes.

4) Acts 8:4–8. Physical sickness also comes—and it cannot be cured.

5) Matthew 27:25. It is passed down to the children.

6) Luke 16:19–31. It does not end there. One day they face death—and we must teach that death is not the end. They go straight to hell.

4. Disaster. The serious thing is that people were unaware of all this (Introduction 1–3), but from a certain time, global disasters have continually struck.

5. Crime. As a result, what happens most often now? (Murder) Crimes of murder arise more and more. People do not know that it all began from here (Introduction 1). Judges cannot sentence based on this (Main 1–3). They can only judge the act of killing.

(Suicide) What is the reverse of murder? Suicide. Suicide is also murder. Murder kills another; suicide kills oneself. People have fallen deeply into such problems. And because they have no happiness,

(Gambling) they rush into gambling. Among all industries in the world, gambling is where the most money is made and is the largest. You may live without relation to it, but most people with wealth, when they go abroad, always go to casinos. They fall into it. Losing money is serious, but even worse, borrowing there and being unable to repay leads to murder and great tragedies.

Christ
Therefore, to remove the cause of all these sins (Introduction 1–3), God promised to send Christ. That was God’s promise. Who would understand this? Intellectuals? Even those who study much do not know. Meanwhile, they remain trapped in (Introduction 1–3).

(Drugs) Even more seriously, when neither this nor that brings comfort, they give up. Thus, what is most popular now? Drugs. You may have nothing to do with it, but many young people in the field are falling rapidly into it. Truly, those with spiritual problems cannot escape once they fall into drugs. It is a grave situation.

There was a case: five boys went to catch frogs and died—still a mystery. Many theories exist, but one thing is certain. If the perpetrator had been known, they should have tracked those with mental illness. Without mental illness, no one would kidnap and kill five unrelated children and bury them in a mountain. Is that not so? Because they do not understand this, the police can only labor without finding the truth.

All these realities of darkness—Christ solved them completely on the cross. That is why this message follows.

▣ Main Message

1. Unconditional forgiveness. God forgives unconditionally. If conditions are attached, He cannot forgive. Seeing a thief, you might forgive by saying, “Hey, don’t steal again.” That is possible. But this enormous problem (Introduction) cannot be solved that way. Therefore, God forgives unconditionally those who believe in Christ. Do you understand?

1) The reason. Why is that?

(1) Original sin. Because original sin can never be solved. This (Introduction 1–3) is original sin. And this is the twelve original sins stemming from Satan’s strategy. These two (Introduction 4–5) follow from it. Therefore, escaping from this sin (Introduction 1–3) and being saved has no condition. There is no requirement of “how much” to do.

(2) Curse. Then there are many curses in the family line—hidden but unsolved. God promises to forgive and solve them unconditionally. That is why He promised Christ and commanded us to believe in Him. “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you and your household will be saved.” You must tell people this.

2) Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23. Therefore, in Romans 3:10 it says, “There is no one righteous, not even one.” There cannot be. So God promised Christ. In Romans 3:23 it says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” People do not understand what that means. It means everyone has fallen into this (Introduction 1). They cannot reach God’s glory. So God sent Christ and determined to forgive unconditionally. That is the meaning. Therefore, “For God so loved the world.” “That whoever believes in the Lord Jesus may have eternal life.”

3) Genesis 3:15, Exodus 3:18, Matthew 16:16–20. So what kind of Christ did God send? “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” Simply put, Christ will break the power of Satan. Do you now understand? People perish without knowing this problem (Introduction 1–3), so God brings this to those who believe. Because we must be set free, they were liberated on the day of the blood sacrifice. You cannot help it—you will be delivered from all the darkness surrounding you. Therefore, in Matthew 16:16–20, when Peter confessed, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” what tremendous promise came? “The gates of Hades will not overcome you.” When he confessed that, he was set free. The powers of darkness will not overcome you.

2. Assurance. Therefore, you must have assurance about this. You may think, “I already believe, so what assurance do I need?” But for those still tormented by spiritual problems, how can they overcome? Because this is reality—fight with assurance. When you have assurance, there are a few things to reference.

1) Genesis 3:15, Genesis 6:14, Genesis 12:1–3. You must reference these (Genesis 3:15; 6:14; 12:1–3) because they are the way out of Genesis 3, 6, and 11.

2) Romans 7:23–25. Next, what assurance must you have? The power God gives you is not a power obtainable from the world. Today’s first service message, Romans 7:23–25, is very important. It contains Paul’s confession—please refer carefully.

3) John 9:3. In John 9:3, when asked, “Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.” You must have assurance—otherwise, you cannot escape.

3. True healing. From the moment you gain assurance, true healing begins. From now on, pray only this prayer.

1) 1·3·8. The prayer that came from Mt Olive—through the Triune God, through Christ, only by the Holy Spirit, and the coming of God’s Kingdom—only this prayer brings healing.

2) Throne (Kingdom). The world does not know this. Jesus explained for forty days: “With the power of the throne I will be with you. The work of God’s Kingdom will be fulfilled.” From then, healing and the work of answers began.

3) 24·25·Eternity. When you receive this blessing, you enjoy the answer of 24·25·eternity that revives the past, present, and future—the three ages. Experience it for yourself.

▣ Conclusion [Deep Prayer]
Here is the conclusion. From now on, you must do this—have one time of deep prayer each day. Amazing answers will come. Then you will be able to speak with certainty. In today’s first service, many important things will come out. When you begin to pray properly, you will experience it. Then transformation comes—because when you experience God’s power, you change. No matter what others say, you will not be shaken. Why? Because those who have not experienced God’s power talk about many things. It does not matter. In a sense, it is fine to listen to everything others say, right or wrong. Because you enjoy God’s power, works will arise.

Especially, pastors across the nation and the world must remember this. Congregants will say many things. Just listen. Understand and listen. But that does not bring transformation. You must experience God’s power. Only then can you save your congregants. Those who are broken will speak broken words, and those who are mentally unstable will speak strange words—there will be many. Listen and help them. But when you experience God’s power, you can change everything. May you surely become witnesses who enjoy this experience. I bless you in the name of Jesus.

Prayer. God, we thank You. In this time of concentration, let us experience Your grace. As we pray today, let Your Kingdom come upon our field. As we worship and pray all day, may Your Holy Spirit work. Let all hardship, all darkness, and all unbelief be bound. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Chief Cupbearer Who Forgot Joseph

Prayer Journal: November 1, 2025
02. Feb. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Genesis 40:21-23

▣ Introduction
1. The difficulties of life, betrayal—do not fall into temptation. By nature, people have calculations about the future, and that is why. Joseph encountered the greatest hardship of his life. Though he had done no wrong, he was put in prison. There is one thing that is the hardest part of prison: there is absolutely no freedom. If you deprive a person of freedom, they cannot live. All kinds of illnesses come. That is why, in the past when Black people had no freedom, they said, “Give me liberty or give me death.” He did not even know when he might get out. Because it was essentially an incident that happened in a great house, he was suffering to the degree that it seemed almost like a life sentence.

A condemned criminal came in there. If you do wrong against the king, it is the death penalty. The official in charge of the king’s food and wine, the cupbearer—because of some wrongdoing—was put into that prison. This man was to die. In those days, unlike now, once a verdict came from the palace, they would execute immediately. So for that man it was an extreme hardship. There he met Joseph. Joseph must have shared various testimonies. Things happened in such a way that even in the prison Joseph could be trusted. In that dramatic situation, Joseph interpreted the dream that the chief official, the cupbearer, had dreamed. “You will surely live and be released. You will clear your name and go out alive.”

Such a thing happened. The official gained immense strength. Moving house outside? This was far beyond that; when someone says, “You will not die in prison, you will be released,” that is an enormous thing. When it was decided that he would be released, he returned to the house of the official—that is, he returned to the palace. At that time Joseph made a private request. We thought Joseph was always receiving grace and always praying, but Joseph made a private request. It was something Joseph normally would not do, but he asked a favor—because it was hard. Though he overcame by prayer and received many answers, it was hard. This man was someone powerful, returning to the palace. Joseph asked him for a favor: “When you go out, please remember me.” In simple terms, “Please get me out.” Since he would enter the palace. But today’s Scripture says, “The chief official forgot Joseph.” He forgot him.

In the course of our lives, there are times when we face something like that—being betrayed. Humanly speaking, this official betrayed greatly. He received such blessing in such hardship, yet he forgot Joseph. No matter how much Joseph waited, there was no word. He had asked so earnestly and had helped him, yet the official forgot. At such times we may develop resentment. When you are betrayed by people, you become tempted and shaken. Or thoughts of “I must take revenge” arise. Some, in fact, commit murder or crimes, and such things occur.

At such times, you must not fall into temptation. Human nature is like that. Having received such grace from Joseph, he should have repaid it, but he forgot. As you know, in the old days the elders would say this: if you help an animal, it repays grace; if you help a person, they repay with spite. Why is that? If you help an animal, the animal shows some sign of gratitude. But when you help a human, later they become your adversary. Why? The difference is simple. Animals have no calculations about the future. People do. Thinking it over, “Now I am going back to the palace; what benefit is there in associating with that Hebrew, that powerless beggar-like man?” Perhaps such thinking arose. Whether he even thought about it, no one knows. That is human nature. So it was not a situation in which he would say, “I must strain myself to pull Joseph out.” Even though he knew Joseph was in great suffering, he forgot him. It is a single incident.

2. The judgment you make at such a time changes into a 100-year, 1000-year, eternal answer. This is a time schedule in which we must learn many things. The judgment you make at such a time may turn into a 100-year answer. Sometimes it becomes a thousand-year, eternal answer.

3. God made him forget—when Joseph reached thirty, an age at which he could become prime minister, the king summoned him. The important point here today is this: it was not merely that the man forgot; God made him forget. This is important. God made him forget. How could that man forget Joseph? He should have thought it over, and when an opportunity came before the king, he should have spoken—but he forgot. Joseph, as you know, could not have succeeded if he had been released from prison at that age. As we will confirm in the second service today, when Joseph was exactly thirty years old—by that time, such years had passed—Joseph was still in prison. He did not know when he would come out. At that time the king dreamed a dream. When the dream could not be interpreted, he brought great difficulty to the scholars and the people. When a person is pressed, he remembers. Because he was so pressed, only then did he remember Joseph. The king summoned Joseph. As we will confirm in the second service, when the king summoned him, Joseph shaved for the first time, changed his clothes, and went before the king. He was thirty years old then. In Egypt, senior civil officials had to be thirty years old or older, and legally the prime minister had to be thirty or older.

▣ Main Message: What the Children of God Who Will Do World Evangelization Must See

We know the content, but what must we see here? This is important. What kind of answer must you and I receive? There are ordinary people, believers, those with a calling—there are many kinds, are there not? Some people live simply to make a good living. Some live to succeed in worldly terms. But for you and me, is it not world evangelization? If Joseph was indeed a person to do world evangelization, then it had to be this way. Today we must realize something important.
1. Eyes to see time (No-time). Time is short, and we must receive answers; first, the eyes to see time. What do people do? They wait for an opportunity. This is what generally happens. It is not wrong; people wait for time. “We must endure; what else can we do?” This is what normal people say. But Joseph was different. Here arises the first answer that you and I must grasp. We do not wait for a timetable. What is it? The covenant we must hold today is No-time. For Joseph, it was No-time. What does that mean?

1) Now is the best time; the field where I am is the best mission field; that incident is God’s answer. For you, people of God, now is the best time. The field is the best mission field. You must surely keep this in mind. The official’s betrayal of Joseph is an answer—because God has an important plan. All of you who must do world evangelization must hold to this. We do not hunt for opportunities. That is why problems keep coming. We, within God’s timetable, have today as the best—No-time; there is no time for us in that sense.

2) Bartizan—the real thing is what the Triune God gives and what works by the power of the throne. Why? There Jesus spoke of the bartizan. What the Triune God gives to you is the real thing. What works by the power of the throne—that is the real thing. Joseph must do world evangelization now. It is not, “How shall I get my food?” nor “How shall I rise in status?” “Though I have no power, as a child of God, this place is the best mission field; that official who betrayed me is God’s answer.” There he enjoyed it as is. Make today the best answer. That is God’s truly important plan. Joseph was inside the prison yet, there, he discovered all of God’s works.

3) Not hunting for chances, but becoming the main figure who produces the blessing of the throne in the present field. Therefore we are not like worldly people who wait for opportunities and hunt for chances. It is not that such things are unnecessary, but that is not us. You are the main figures who, even in prison, in the present field, produce the blessing of the throne. Our Remnants must truly have this faith.

I have no special technique. I have not researched something special. I feel sorry to my pastor friends, but a famous university in America once said they would conduct comprehensive research on me and grant me a doctorate. The school analyzed it: “This is not just content. We must retain this person at our school and award a degree.” I felt sorry to the person who introduced me, but though I had said okay at first, when the time came I said “No.” Why? Because I did not need it. I do not think believers come to hear God’s Word because I have earned some degree. But when we started RU, I asked for it—because it needed to remain on record. You must remember this.

When I began and went forth, my family situation was extremely difficult. Truly. When I understood the gospel, I held a covenant: “This has nothing to do with me. That is my parents’ situation; it does not concern me. Here I will craft God’s true masterpiece.” That answer has now come—three things: poverty, disease, incompetence—destroyed all three. You must never depend on people, thinking, “Who will help me?” No. When God’s true answer comes, no one can block it. I cannot tell everything. I saw this in the Word. So I went to Yeongdo; the church was so small. The answer I received then was this: God was telling me, “Do not remain in a room; proclaim God’s Word to all of Yeongdo and Busan.” Is that not right? Today is the best day. When I met you, what covenant did I hold? To create the three courtyards throughout the whole world so that people would hear God’s Word. You must not lose this. The place where you are is a mission field. The location where you are is the most blessed place. You must discover this. “Even that incident of betraying me is God’s answer.” It is certain.

  1. Eyes to see incidents (No-way). The second thing to grasp: the eyes to see incidents. We must see time, and we must see incidents.

1) Not seeking a path, but No-way. Many people try to find a way, do they not? Many try to find a way. Never miss this: we are No-way. First, we are No-time. We do not need the time people talk about. Remember this. We are No-way. We do not need the path people insist upon.

2) WIO. What was “the way” for Joseph? “With.” The evidence that God is with me is the way. “Immanuel.” The evidence that God is with us is the way. All things work together to accomplish the answer. “Oneness.” That way is our way.

3) Journey. In this, Jesus explained the journey. I have seen seven great journeys—tremendous. Go the way in which the Triune God works by the power of the throne. That is correct. It is absolutely not a vain statement. Rather, it is the thought “How can there be no way?” that is vain. That is the vain thought—hoping for some stroke of luck. The Bible promises ten platforms; those are our way. The ten unseen, spiritual secrets by which He works and leads us—that is the way. Is that not so? Therefore we proceed in that flow with assurance. Thus all our “today” is the camp of the throne. This is the way. Joseph knew the true timetable and the true way.

  1. Eyes to see the goal (Nobody). Third, how do people commonly think of goals?

1) Not depending on people or seeking people, but Nobody. They keep depending on people and seeking people. Yes, that is what people do. But not us. Nobody. What are we? We wait for God’s absolute plan. We seek that.

※ Make up your mind beforehand: No-time, No-way, Nobody. Therefore I tell the Remnants: “Make up your mind beforehand.” I tell them: “It is No-time. It is No-way. It is Nobody.” If you function at the level of the world, you will live and die like the world. You will not do world evangelization. If you misunderstand my words, you might not comprehend. I cannot say other things just to make you understand if you do not. To help those precious Remnants understand, I cannot lie. Virtually everyone in the world lives with this as the standard (eating, livelihood). Not so for us. The opportunities the world seeks—those are No-time for us; we do not need them. No-way. And what are we? Nobody. That is why God cut everything off from Joseph—so he would truly do it.

2) At that time the Word of God lives and works; the evidence of the Word begins to appear. At that time, the Word God had given Joseph from the very beginning began to live and work. The Word of God that had led him until then began to produce evidence. The timetable surely comes, because the Word is fulfilled.

3) The guidepost. Jesus called this a guidepost: “Go to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Here I have astonishingly confirmed many answers that are in the Bible. You know Joseph’s timetable. We will look at it in the second service—what he took. What did Joseph take before the king? This is important. People know that he interpreted the dream before the king; everyone knows that. That is not the point. What did he bring? That is, what did Joseph possess? We will confirm that in the second service; today, we confess before God the definite answer now. We are not waiting for the chance people speak of. It is not the path on which people depend on one another and first strive simply to make a good living. What God has prepared is not to depend on people, live appropriately, and die. We are Nobody. You must surely go holding the covenant.

※ My timetable is in God’s hands. I have no timetable. Is that not so? I wear a watch, but I have not “put on time.” My timetable is with God. Today, you must firmly hold this as your covenant. Time is short, but we must go with the answer; therefore seize a definite guidepost. A definite guidepost—through Joseph, God is informing us of the facts. There are situations when you cannot speak—when you cannot say a word to people. For Joseph, this was the greatest guidepost. It sounds like a dream, but it is not. It is the most real.

▣ Conclusion
1. Your workplace is a mission field; your problem is an answer. God has given me several graces so that I might serve you well and do world evangelization. First, I could not share testimonies from my childhood. I was too ashamed to testify, so I did not. But there I seized many of God’s covenants. And in truly living church life, I have seen many churches and believers. I have seen many churches that do not do the gospel movement and do not truly serve God. However excellent they may be—though that is not unimportant—they do not do the gospel movement. So I realized, “Ah… all that is unnecessary.” Why spend an entire lifetime, money, and one’s life on what is unnecessary? You must understand this. It is not that the workplace you go to is unnecessary. That is your mission field. Apart from that, there is no meaning. The problems that come to you and the person who betrayed you—that is the answer. Why? Because there is something else. Because there is God’s true timetable that He gives. This is what I am saying. Because there is the true way that God gives. The person you truly must meet is someone else. You must hold this as your covenant today.

Sadly—and I have said this before—there were two older women than I, seniors to me in faith, who lived the Christian life very well. Both were clean, elegant, and well-looking—popular wherever they went. One of them always said, “I will not live in poverty. My family is somewhat poor. I will live rich.” I understand. It is not a bad statement, but she emphasized it so much. Truly, things happen as you say; if I named her, you would all know. She became the daughter-in-law of the most famous conglomerate in Busan. Truly. But the other senior was not like that. She simply said, “I wish to live the life of faith well and spread the gospel.” That was it. She did not seem to have any great dream. But as time went by—this still pains me—the first senior, after marriage, did not even last two years. In her words, it was hell. Hell. I met her once in America; she had gained so much weight from eating. Meanwhile, the other senior who held to the Word met a man who truly lived the life of faith well; they did the gospel movement, and their children grew up likewise. When we visited them once, what did they bring out? The couple welcomed us in the evening, and they brought out the Bible and hymnal first. “Let us worship,” they said. So—ah—those who hold the important covenant, even if they are not doing something “big,” bring transformation.

2. There is a separate bartizan, journey, and guidepost that you must truly have. Today, through Joseph, you must find what is yours. It does not mean that your present job, work, or study is wrong. Is that not so? There is a separate bartizan, journey, and guidepost that you must truly have. From the day you seize them, the work will begin.

3. Resolution—God’s work that turns weaknesses into blessings, crises into answers, and shameful parts into blessed things. Today, throughout the day as you receive this grace, resolve that your greatest weakness will turn into the greatest blessing. Take the time to resolve that your greatest crisis is the greatest answer—do this, because it is certain. Resolve that God’s work will turn your most shameful part into the most blessed thing. You must do this—because this is the highest calling. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be the day you are healed all day long.

Prayer. We thank You, God. Let this become the time when, like Joseph, we are left alone with You. Let this become the timetable when we find what is important today. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

What Happened to Those Filled with the Holy Spirit?

Acts 3:1-8. One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2 Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 8 He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. 

On the day of Pentecost, the disciples gathered in the upper room, holding onto Jesus’ promise and devoting themselves to prayer (Acts 1:14). Then, as Jesus had said, “They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them” (Acts 2:4).

Luke’s focus was not merely on what happened but why—the Holy Spirit gave them the gift of tongues so that they could declare “the wonders of God,” to the many nations gathered in Jerusalem (Acts 2:5-11). Fifteen nations heard the gospel in their own languages, and the world saw the birth of the church empowered by the Spirit.

The message they proclaimed was not about the experience of tongues but about the gospel that Jesus is the Christ. Peter boldly declared, “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36). The true work of the Holy Spirit is not to glorify human experience but to exalt Jesus as the Christ—the True King who destroys the works of the devil, the True Priest who breaks the power of sin and death, and the True Prophet who opens a new and living way to God.

When Peter and John went up to the temple at the hour of prayer (Acts 3:1–12), they carried that same Spirit-filled conviction. Standing before a lame beggar at the gate called Beautiful, Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” At that moment, the power of the Holy Spirit revived the man’s spirit, and his feet and ankles became strong. He stood, walked, and leapt for joy—praising God before all the people.

The miracle was undeniable, but the greater work was invisible: the exaltation of the name of Jesus. Peter testified, “By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong” (Acts 3:16). The same Peter who once denied Jesus now stood before the crowd with boldness and conviction. The Holy Spirit had transformed his fear into faith, manifesting His power through him.

When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, your life changes in both visible and invisible ways. You begin to see what others overlook. You gain spiritual discernment and conviction. The same Spirit who filled Peter will enable you to stand as Christ’s witness to the ends of the earth, wherever you are and whatever your circumstances. The lame still walk, though not always physically; the broken are healed, and the lost find new life in Christ.

Paul described this power as “the treasure in jars of clay” (2 Corinthians 4:7–10). Though fragile and flawed, we carry within us the all-surpassing power of God. Through every problem, conflict, or crisis, the Holy Spirit sustains us—turning each into an answer, a moment of renewal, and an opportunity to experience His power. The fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22–23)—becomes visible in every area of life, drawing others to the light of the gospel.

Jesus promised this same power to all who believe: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). The Holy Spirit is not an option for us but the only source of our strength for world evangelization. Through Him, God continues to display His glory and accomplish His work of salvation in your life.

As you yield to the Spirit, God will reveal His mysteries to you and transform you into the image of Christ “with ever-increasing glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Like Daniel and his friends, you will receive wisdom and understanding from the throne that far surpass the world’s to save lives and proclaim the gospel to the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes.

Prayer. Father, I thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, where all wisdom and power are hidden. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, that I may live as a true witness of Christ, bringing Your healing, truth, and glory to the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Secret of the Evangelist

Prayer Journal: October 31, 2025
01. Feb. 2025 Core Training Service
Scripture Reading: Romans 16:25-27

Today is our University Missions Department special service. The important content will be addressed at our University Missions Department retreat. Today I will limit myself to speaking only about evangelism.

(Elders—teams of five as one unit, young adults—three courtyards, RT—the three-day weekend age, university—planning)
In our church, special, unnoticeable evangelism teams have been formed. This is extremely important. Therefore our church leaders, especially the elders, must open their eyes to the phrase “teams of five as one unit.” This was the field for commissioning missionaries. And for our young adults, the three courtyards—since these are 237, healing, and summit—are very important. When multiethnic people come, young adults are in a better position to guide them a bit. We must help the Remnants become the main figures of the three-day weekend age. I am telling our university teams to plan all of this. You must do it. The early church had this. Because Peter was a bit lacking in such aspects, God raised up Paul. And without this kind of mindset, world missions is impossible. Even just knowing these things brings you answers.

Today, because our important people have come to greet us, I gave a message. A prepared Remnant, Pastor Hwang Seon-gyu and his wife, who are going to Canada, came. Because this relates to you, I gave three messages: “Serve the pastor.” I said, “Since you are going as an associate pastor, serve the senior pastor.” You must serve him after God. “And after you arrive in Canada, wait for God’s absolute plan to be revealed.” You must throw away your own thoughts. Only then will you see. Do not worry about your future. Do not calculate. Only then will you see God’s absolute plan. And I asked for one more thing: “Do 5,000 tribes 24.” If you do that, everything will be done.

Also, Pastor Lee Daha from Jukjeon came today to greet us, so I gave him a message. “What revives church members is the message.” I gave three points. “When church members listen, they must come to know, ‘Ah, this is the gospel.’ You must help them see that.” “When church members listen, they must gain strength and come alive.” And the last thing is this: “You must change the thoughts of the church members.” Everything is God’s blessing, yet they think it is not. If so, they cannot receive that blessing. What if a problem has come? It is a blessing.

Because our nation has been noisy lately, I have been led to continual prayer. While praying, an answer simply came to me. If the president is impeached, it will be a loss for the Democratic Party and a chance to realize something. If impeachment does not happen, it will be a loss for the People Power Party. Then again, it will be a chance to realize something. Our nation will not collapse. There are servants who do world evangelization. Therefore I am certain. Whatever happens, I said I am thankful.

If many people do not understand this third point, they cannot interpret the Bible and cannot understand the seven Remnants. Then they will miss all answers. I told this to Pastor Lee Daha. And I said, “Prepare a vessel that can embrace many people.” If you cannot embrace many people, world evangelization is difficult. I am saying this because it is something our university students must take into account.

(Romans 16:1–27)
You possess this blessing (elders—teams of five as one unit, young adults—three courtyards, RT—the three-day weekend age, university—planning). It is in the Bible. Where in the Bible? It is summarized in Romans 16. It is found here and there, but it is summarized there.
(1 Corinthians 16:14–24)
It is summarized in 1 Corinthians 16.
(Colossians 4:1–18)
It is summarized in Colossians 4:1–18. Some people are repeated. But these people were special evangelism teams. Now we must receive this answer.
So begin gently. In some respects it starts in comfortable meetings. Then the university must keep urging like this: “Elder, please come.” Like this. Elders are busy. Because they do not have it in mind, say, “Please come.” Young adults are a bit busier than you. So you must gently entice them and do it this way. That is planning. And keep calling the Remnants, like this. They all have their own things to do, but separately. In this way, you must keep telling the pastor about such blessings.

A team like this for evangelism planning started a bit in Seoul and now is in a bit of a situation, but it is the most important answer in the Bible. To do this more in earnest, I will give three messages at our university retreat.
Today, while looking at the role of the church, I am saying you should think at least once about the evangelism movement. Why? Because the evangelism currently done in the church does not bring church growth. Therefore you must remember this.

That is why we cannot keep up with the three organizations. The three organizations do evangelism by system. Have you ever heard China telling the three organizations to get out? They do not. The church does not do system-based evangelism. That is why we keep getting driven out. It is frightening. The three organizations penetrate anywhere.

Therefore university students must come to realize this. You are the hope; if you fail to realize it, you will simply grow older and become the same kind of adults again. In the end it is system evangelism, media evangelism, and bartizan evangelism.

▣ Introduction: The Prayer God Gives
Then, what is the most important thing to do this work? The prayer that God gives must begin. This is extremely important.

  1. Old Testament era
    Then concerning the prayer that God gives, let us briefly look at the Old Testament era. God gave Abraham a prayer topic. He kept losing hold of it. So after suffering much, he realized. Therefore we must pray the prayer that God gives. One person realized this from the very beginning: Joseph. Therefore for Joseph, everything was an answer. He suffered greatly, but it was not suffering. It was blessing. This (the prayer God gives) is the answer. First, what is it? Your direction must align with God. Next, the three courtyards—your goal must align with God. Your prayer must align with God. The One who answers is God, so prayer must align with God. Is not God the One who rules our life? If so, I am now speaking of the prayer God gives in the Old Testament era. Moses was given a sure prayer topic in childhood, but he kept doing other things and lost it. At age eighty he realized it. Then the work began. Also, there were two who firmly held the prayer God gave from a very young age: Samuel and David. Therefore works had no choice but to arise. You must remember this. “Not Gilgal, not Jericho, not Bethel—grant me a double portion of Your spirit.” He knew what God gives. This is extremely important.
  2. J-X
    There is prayer that Jesus Christ Himself taught. Three things.

1) The throne
He explained for forty days the blessing of the throne.

2) 300%
The filling of the Holy Spirit—this we call 300%. University students must surely remember this.

3) Only (uniqueness, re-creation)
He explained the method—the easy way to receive. Only. “Only” is the same word as “uniqueness.” The same meaning. “Re-creation.” This is the prayer Jesus taught.

  1. Paul—Acts 19:8
    Paul prayed this properly. In Acts 19:8 it is about the kingdom of God. Paul did three things—three.

1) Multiethnic peoples
Wherever he went, led by the Holy Spirit, he opened the doors to the multiethnic peoples.

2) Healing—Nephilim
He healed the Nephilim, the root of diseases that absolutely cannot be cured. It took place, did it not?

3) The synagogue
He used the synagogue strategy that completely saves the future. Therefore answers could not help but come. University students must surely remember this.

Then we cannot just end with this. If so, what should we do? You are the main figures to save the church. You must surely remember this.
[ Turning Points of the Age ]
There are very important turning points by which God changed the age.
[ 1. Calvary – Mt Olive – Mark’s upper room ]
What is the first? The disciples who had been taught for three years during the public ministry, and then the Jews—they would not do. He called the disciples who saw Calvary to Mt Olive. And He sent them to Mark’s upper room. This is a tremendous turning point of the age. Until then they were just the crowds, but now they are disciples.
[ 2. Acts 11:1–18, 11:19 (Antioch) ]
Next is Acts 11:1–18 and 11:19—Antioch. This becomes a tremendous turning point. Those who received grace in Mark’s upper room hit a limit; that alone was not enough. This opened the way over here.
[ 3. Acts 19:21, 23:11, 27:24 ]
Third: those who knew “You must also see Rome,” “You must testify in Rome,” “You must stand before Caesar.” These are extremely important. Knowing such things, plan—this is what I am saying. University students must plan evangelism. You can do it as much as you like. Pastors must utilize the whole congregation so that they may receive such blessings. You can gently do this as much as you like. I did it even when I was an associate pastor. It is good.
But this is not yet another meeting or program. You must truly receive answers this year.
Because Paul did this properly, what blessing came out?
[ 1. The back-side covenant ]
He made them fully realize the back-side covenant. This is what we call an answer. A day will come when the back-side covenant becomes clear to you. There is no need to hurry. In some respects, this keeps coming.
[ 2. Romans 16:17–20 ]
And it clearly appears today: at that time, Satan will kneel before you. Before those who have God’s covenant as the back-side covenant, he utterly kneels. Darkness knelt before Joseph. It knelt before Moses. It is bound to kneel—because they firmly held the true back-side covenant. This is the final answer for you university students. “Ah, I must do this!” That is what comes out. If you truly know this prayer, it will come out.
[ 3. Romans 16:25–27 ]
Finally, look: He said, “I will give what was kept hidden.” “I will give what was hidden.” When? What was hidden before the ages. It will be forever and ever, but that is the secret. “I give to you what was kept hidden.” Truly, we have received everything.

▣ Main Message: The Romans 16 Team
When this takes place, an important team composition is formed. How? Three things appear.

  1. The 24 Prayer Team
    The people of Romans 16 are the 24 Prayer Team.
  2. The Evangelism 24 Team
    Not just casually, but an Evangelism 24 Team emerged, completely 24. It becomes like this.
  3. The Planning 24 Team
    Finally, the Planning 24 Team emerges. We use such terms, but in the Bible these were the actual people.

1. The 24 Prayer Team

1) What He kept hidden
As said earlier, to these people God promised to give what He had kept hidden. University students, 24 prayer is not difficult. It is enjoying the most blessed and most powerful thing.

2) What He kept hidden in the field
He promised to give what He kept hidden within the field.

3) What He kept hidden in eternity (the future)
And what else? He gives what He kept hidden in the future. The true answer is what God brings to us. If we remain within this blessing, this covenant, God brings it to us. Starting today, gently, in each church this team (elders—teams of five as one unit, young adults—three courtyards, RT—the three-day weekend age, university—planning) must arise. There is so much to plan. We must not lose hold of it, right?

2. The Evangelism 24 Team
The Evangelism 24 Team emerged.

1) Protectors

2) Co-workers

3) Hosts
Protectors, co-workers, and hosts—these are the Evangelism 24 Team.

  1. The Planning 24 Team
    At last, the Planning 24 Team emerged. What do they plan?

1) A secret corps
A secret corps that stakes their lives. You may not understand it well now, but at that time you would. You must not make it noticeable. It is a secret corps.

2) R.M.
And they went in earnest to the synagogues and raised the Remnants. You can begin now.

3) Holy Mason
And we must prepare a temple that has the three courtyards. Try planning—it will come out.
[ The Romans 16 Team ]
Then this proceeded exactly as in the Bible. Where? As I said earlier. Especially though Corinth was important and Colossae was important, we had to save Rome in order to save the 237 nations, so it was the Romans 16 Team. Our university students must restore this blessing. Elders, gently, our church leaders, let us pray. If a person of evangelism has attached to you, it means you are truly a blessed person. If, during my lifetime, a person of prayer has been connected to me, there is nothing greater than this. If at last a person who can plan world evangelization has met with you, there is no greater blessing. When you look at those who surely fail, you will see that connections begin with disputes and fights that have nothing to do with any of this.

▣ Conclusion
What is the conclusion? What must the university realize? Adults do not know.

  1. System (disciples)
    From now on it must be disciple-centered system evangelism. If you do not know this system, you cannot evangelize Muslims, you cannot evangelize China. There is a way to quietly evangelize North Korea. That is the system. You must surely keep this in mind. University students can do it.
  2. Media (epistles)
    In the end it is media. Even back then, they already sent epistles.
  3. Bartizan (healing)
    In the end, what is it? It is healing. We call this bartizan evangelism. Only this can change the future world. With what will we change the world? With a system made by those who truly enjoy the gospel and possess the power of the throne. University students, take a close look at the church. Here and there it has been set up so that the gospel is not properly testified. This is Satan’s trick. It must be changed.
    It is almost the pastors’ responsibility. Church doors in America have all closed. That is why we do RU. It is the theologians’ responsibility. The churches of Europe have already closed. It is the responsibility of those pastors and theologians. What did they teach? They are teaching Judaism—Judaism that Jesus said is of no use. We must teach the gospel—the gospel that gives life to people, the gospel that changes all darkness and the bartizan. Do that—that is what I am saying.
    Therefore there is only one way. How will we save our nation? How will we save those Muslims? How will we save North Korea and China? It is the system. And without showing at all, media must ride upon that system and go in. Since the whole world is sick, what is the true bartizan? Healing. It becomes like this. University students must understand.

Assurance of Answers and the Answer of 25

2023.04.09 District Message
Scripture Reading: Mark 11:24

We are standing before our important missionary convention. We are also praying, “What is the temple that God most desires in this age?” At such a time, you must receive important answers.

The assurance regarding the answer is important. It does not simply mean to “believe firmly,” but rather to hold on to the precise covenant. Only then will the 25 answers come. In the Gospel of Mark 11:24, it says, “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.” Does this mean that if you pray with faith, a mountain will actually move? Has a mountain ever moved? What does this mean? You must understand this clearly.

▣ Introduction
[Mark 11:21] Fig tree
To understand this properly, we must begin from verse 21. Before verse 21, what happened? As Jesus and His disciples were on their way, Jesus saw a fig tree hoping to eat its fruit, but there was none. But Jesus was not someone who would act rashly. He cursed the fig tree. The disciples should have asked, “Lord, why did You curse it?” They should have asked, because it was not the season for figs. The Bible clearly states that. Then why did He seek fruit when it was not the season for it? Why curse it when it naturally had none? They should have asked that question. But they didn’t, so Jesus gave no answer. Then, later, they passed by and saw, “Oh! The fig tree has withered!” That’s verse 21. Then the quick-tongued Peter said, “Oh! The fig tree has really withered!”

If we are not careful, our walk of faith becomes like that. Isn’t that so? The Word of God is revealed, but we don’t believe. Then when problems occur, we say, “Oh?” and when answers come, we get excited and say, “Oh, the answer came!” That’s dangerous. No, when Jesus spoke the Word, we must ask, “What does this Word mean?” Instead, people just react to sermons. Sermons themselves are not the main thing. The preacher can only preach according to their own measure, but you must hear the Word of God. If they had asked, that night a tremendous message would have been given, right? And they would have received great answers.

Why must we hold this missionary convention? What is the meaning of temple construction for our church in this age? Why are so many multiethnic people coming to Busan, to this small corner? Why did the evangelism movement that began here 30 years ago spread to the whole world? We must ask many such questions. Only then will answers come. Only when we hold on to the precise covenant will answers come. But they failed to hold on to the precise covenant earlier, so later they said, “Oh? It really withered!”

This fig tree symbolizes the nation of Israel, right? It is the national tree of Israel—just as the hibiscus is the national flower of Korea. Jesus deliberately went to find fruit even though there was none, symbolizing Israel. The fig tree withering represents the future of Israel.

[Mark 11:22] Believe in God
Then Jesus said, “Have faith in God.” What is there that God’s power cannot do?

[Mark 11:23] The mountain
Then He said these words. Before verse 24, verse 23 says, “Even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed,’ it will move.” God can move it. When He said this, it was based on the premise that we humans cannot move a mountain. Isn’t that true? If someone could pray and move mountains, there would be no need to say this. But we can’t. Yet He said, “If you believe, even a mountain can move.” That means that God’s power can move mountains. The power of God has already been shown—Jesus even raised the dead. That is verse 23.

[Mark 11:24] What you prayed for, [believe], and it will be done.
Then in verse 24, today’s main passage, He says, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” “Believe that you have received it.” It does not say “will receive it.” This is something we must pay close attention to. Wouldn’t it seem natural to say, “Believe that you will receive it”? But He said, “Believe that you have received it.” Understand this. From the day I understood this, I began to receive answers. “Ah, I see. Believe that I have received it?” When you pray, God hears. Believe that He has heard. What you say becomes imprinted in your brain. Believe that you have received it. When will the answer come? That’s just a matter of time—it’s certain. We often speak carelessly, but eventually it is fulfilled.

Sometimes, I see believers, church leaders, or remnants who are sharp-minded—it’s good to be discerning—but some are very critical. It’s not entirely bad; in some ways, it shows intelligence. But the problem is that their life ends up that way. That’s the problem. It’s natural to get angry when there’s something to be angry about. But if you constantly live in anger, your life becomes that way.

“Believe that you have received it.” If you truly prayed holding onto the covenant, then believe that you have received it. Isn’t that right? Even if the answer hasn’t come yet, believe that you have received it. If the covenant is accurate, then God’s plan is sure. I prayed. Therefore, believe that you have received it. Then it will be done for you.

There was once something unbelievable. I may have told this story before. It was when our church had just been planted. A deacon called me urgently to come to his home. When I arrived, his daughter had lost her mind. She wasn’t like that before—she was calm, working at a company, faithfully attending Sunday service. But now she was out of her mind. “Since when?” I asked. “About three days ago,” he said. The deacon, desperate, asked me to pray. We held a worship service, but she couldn’t stay still—making noise, shouting. We barely finished the service, but after that, she got even worse. I started to doubt. “It’s not working…” I thought. It was a Wednesday. I left, saying I had to prepare for the service. On the way, I thought, “I definitely prayed in the name of Jesus Christ. God surely heard my prayer. And the evil spirit inside that woman must have also heard my prayer.” That conviction came upon me. It wasn’t that I healed her. When I got home, another call came. I felt uneasy, but they said she was even worse and that they were going to take her to the hospital. Without thinking, I said, “Deacon, please wait a little longer.” He said, “Okay.” That very evening, a work took place. The evil spirit said, “I can’t live in this house anymore. Why are you tormenting me? Why? Is Jesus tormenting me?” Have you ever heard something like that? Then it left. She came back completely fine. So I believe this passage: “Believe that you have received it.”

No gospel, no spiritual strength, no ability
The Israelites at that time did not really know the gospel. They were given the gospel but did not understand it. They had no spiritual strength. And because they lacked spiritual power, they had no ability to overcome great nations. That is why Jesus said, “Have faith in God. If you believe that what you prayed for has already been given, it will be done for you.”

Today, hold firmly to the accurate covenant and pray. No matter what others say, in the wilderness they still entered Canaan. The situation may seem difficult, but they entered. That is God’s covenant. Those who prayed received answers; those who complained did not enter. “According to your faith, it will be done.” This is a very important word.

▣ Main 
When such important tasks lie ahead, you must hold on to the accurate covenant and pray.

  1. The name of Jesus Christ
    In what name do we pray? In the name of Jesus Christ. We have no right to pray otherwise. God established it this way.

1) Promise
There are so many promises. Though there is no time to go over them all now, Jesus Himself explained this about seven times. He promised.

2) Answer
He promised—and how did He promise? He promised an answer. In the name of Jesus. That is clear. Next, what must we do? Hold onto the Word. The covenant must be accurate; if we pray holding onto the wrong one, it won’t do. Also, we must understand spiritual things—the kingdom of God. Then we must confirm: is this God’s will in His timetable? Only then will the answer come. And if something seems off, we must realize our own mistakes. When we pray together in one accord, answers come.

3) Five types
There are five types of answers. You must remember this well. First, some answers come immediately. Some come later. Some don’t come—because we prayed incorrectly. If we prayed wrongly, it’s better not to receive. Some come from the opposite side—you prayed in one way, but the answer comes from another direction. And sometimes, before you even pray, God gives the answer beforehand. We can’t always understand it. But overall, the key point is this: God promised to answer our prayers. Through the name of Jesus Christ who moves the power of the throne. Through the name that broke Satan who long enslaved us. Remember this.

  1. Work
    Then, what happens when we pray? We must know what happens.

1) Within me
What happens within me when I pray? Three things. Genesis 1:27 — we are clothed with God’s image. Genesis 2:7 — we receive the breath of life that God breathed. Genesis 2:18 — God’s presence comes into our lives as in the blessing of Eden.

2) From above
Things from above come upon us—the power of the throne. When we pray, the power of the throne comes, and from then, transcending time and space, the light of 237 shines.

3) Hidden things
Things we never expected—hidden things—are revealed. What are they? Unprecedented and never-repeated blessings. Such things never happened before. There has never been anyone like you before. That is the unprecedented blessing. There was never someone who knew the gospel and worked faithfully in their field like you. Remember this well. There are many who run businesses, but are there many who know Christ and do business like our elders? No. There are many members of parliament, but how many truly know Christ? That’s why it’s not very important to me personally, though necessary for the nation. There are many professors, but how many truly know Christ? We have such professors in our church—that’s what makes it important. Unprecedented blessings. Remember this. Answers come according to spiritual state, so we must hold the covenant correctly. And what happens? We save the three ages. This is the work. The hidden thing.

  1. Spiritual concentration
    Let’s look at the spiritual concentration of the seven remnants who had the assurance of prayer answers. Since prayer brings answers, you must have areas where you can focus. That’s why we worship.

1) The room
Joseph prayed alone as a slave and in prison—like a “room prayer.” No one knew, but that turned everything around. There will be such times when no one can help you, when you have no one to speak to. Joseph found the power of focused prayer there.

2) Mt Horeb
Moses had his mother’s covenantal prayer since childhood, yet until the age of 80, nothing happened—until Mt Horeb. He prayed with deep concentration.

3) Ark of the covenant
Samuel couldn’t even stay at home; he grew up beside the ark of the covenant. That’s what is needed. Today must become such a day for us. Isn’t that so? Today, the day of worship, is your Mt Horeb. Samuel lay beside the ark of the covenant when no one else was there.

4) Shepherd
Who recognized David? No one. He was alone in the mountains tending sheep. There, David concentrated in prayer. May it be so for you today.

5) Jordan River
While other prophets were calculating and hesitating, Elisha followed Elijah all the way to the Jordan, saying, “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit.” That’s it. Others acted halfheartedly, but he went all the way.

6) The window
Look at Daniel. From captivity to the end, he always prayed facing Jerusalem three times a day before God. Such prayer is needed.

7) Only, solely, completely
The early church held to this covenant and prayed “only,” “solely,” “completely.” These all mean the same—utter devotion to prayer.

That is today. If you believe, that becomes your home. When you believe, that becomes your bartizan. Isn’t that so? If you get angry though you don’t want to, that becomes your bartizan—so don’t let it happen. If you doubt, that becomes your bartizan. May today be a day of important covenant.

▣ Conclusion
Genesis 1:3
The conclusion is this: this light shines upon you (Genesis 1:3). The light of creation shines. Try praying for someone sincerely—the light of creation will shine. But there’s a condition. It’s not about “I want to live well.” We must do world evangelization. If you don’t, who will? Pray, “God, grant me the economy of light to accomplish world evangelization.” Then the light shines.

Isaiah 60:1–2
In a completely ruined situation, God says, “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.”

1 Peter 2:9
When Israel was in its hardest time, God called someone like Peter and raised him up: “You were called to proclaim this light.”

In other words, the conclusion is this: you have been called as watchmen of prayer. The watchman is someone others do not see—one who guards, helps in danger, shines the light, and saves when crisis strikes.

Today will truly be such a day. I am certain of it. Whatever may have come upon me, it doesn’t matter. God will surely come upon your work and upon you who hold the right covenant, with His light. May today be a day of important worship—a day of resurrection. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You for giving us this important time to worship You on this Resurrection Sunday. Let us build the bartizan that saves ourselves, our fields, and the world. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

The Obstacles to the Filling of the Holy Spirit

1 John 2:15-17.  Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

God promised to fill every believer with the Holy Spirit. Yet, many Christians go through life without experiencing the fullness of His power and joy. Why? Scripture teaches that certain barriers within us hinder the work of the Spirit. The problem is never with God’s promise, but with the condition of our hearts.

The first obstacle is ignorance and unbelief in the Word of God. David declared, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path” (Psalm 119:105). When we neglect the Word, we lose sight of God’s covenant promises and stumble in darkness. The Holy Spirit works through the Word (John 14:26; 16:13), but when the Word is ignored, His guidance grows dim in our lives.

Another hindrance is pride. Scripture warns, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). We often believe that we can live victorious lives without daily dependence on the Spirit, but self-sufficiency always leads to failure and destruction. Satan still lies to us, saying, “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). Only those who humbly acknowledge God’s absolute authority and power can be filled.

Fear and anxiety also quench the Spirit. When we rely on people, circumstances, or our own reasoning, fear begins to rule our hearts.  Scripture warns, “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe” (Proverbs 29:25). Trusting God’s sovereignty frees us from fear and makes room for His Spirit to work in peace and power. “God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7).

At times, we also let people or situations blur our focus on God. Jesus said, “Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory” (Luke 9:26). When we seek approval from others more than from God, our hearts drift from the presence of the Spirit. To be filled with the Holy Spirit, we must return to our identity in Christ.

Sin is another serious barrier. “If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened” (Psalm 66:18). Hidden sins, unresolved conflicts, and unrepentant attitudes grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). That is why Jesus taught, “First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift” (Matthew 5:24). Reconciliation with God and others restores fellowship and prepares our hearts for the Spirit’s filling.

Today’s passage warns that love for the world keeps us from the love of the Father (1 John 2:15–17). The world offers temporary pleasures—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—but these cannot satisfy the soul. Many believers crave the same things the world pursues—success, comfort, recognition—while forfeiting the eternal blessings of God. In doing so, they exchange the glory of the Spirit for what will soon pass away.

Most tragically, we fail to trust the depth of God’s love revealed on the cross. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son” (John 3:16). Scripture affirms, “He who did not spare his own Son… how will he not also graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32). The Father longs to fill His children with the Holy Spirit, but we must first let go of worldly attachments and unbelief.

When we live according to the desires of the world—futile thinking, hardness of heart, sensuality, impurity, deceitful desires, falsehood, rage, anger, stealing, unwholesome talk, bitterness, brawling, slander, and malice (Ephesians 4:17–32)—we grieve the Spirit within us. These things may promise pleasure or power, but they only lead to emptiness and destruction. Nothing in this world can substitute for the joy, strength, and purpose that come from being filled with the Spirit of God.

The good news is that the filling of the Holy Spirit is not complicated. It is a promise already given to every child of God. All we must do is ask in faith. The Father is more willing to fill you than you are to be filled. Stay sensitive to His guidance, converse with Him in prayer, and surrender your heart moment by moment. When you are filled with the Spirit, the Holy Spirit will lead you to declare the gospel to your family, your community, and even to the ends of the earth.

Prayer. Father, fill me with Your Spirit so that I may no longer live by the desires of the world but by Your truth and power. Let my life be a testimony of Christ to all people. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Assurance of Guidance and the Answer of 25

2023.04.02 District Message
Scripture Reading: Mark 3:13-15

Because God exists in an unseen way, He is certain. What is seen cannot transcend time and space, so it is uncertain. That is why those who worship idols become confined to space. Thus they become seized by evil spirits. The Triune God accompanies us in an unseen way. To the extent you have this assurance, the 25 answers come. So Jesus did not call just anyone, but “called those whom He wanted.” The church must be a place where anyone can come, but people must come to become God’s people. If they come for something else, that is not the church. We must raise up special churches, but the church must also be a place where those who are lacking can come. That is the church. Many people do not understand the church. The highly educated must come to church, but those who are not educated must also come. And there are rich people, but the poor must also come and receive grace.

So He called those He wanted and said He called them “to be with Him.” That is companionship. That itself is evangelism. “And to preach.”

And He said it was “that He might give them authority to cast out demons.” Many believers do not understand this word, and many pastors as well. Why would Jesus say this? Sixty to seventy percent of Koreans hold ancestral rites. They serve demons. In the United States, with a population of over 200 million, three demon-possessed organizations dominate. In our country there are more than 300,000 shamans. They are now struggling to register as a religion. If they succeed in registering as a religion, considerable problems will arise. They exploit democracy to achieve such registration.

That is not all. Much of today’s culture has turned into a demon culture. The recent accident in Itaewon—this was also a demon-culture movement. Many of our posterity, not knowing, are completely seized by demon culture. What do you think, saints? I want to ask pastors. I especially want to ask theologians. Should we leave this as it is any longer? In Japan, they have turned even children’s toys into demon culture. Who is doing this work? Satan is. The church just sits still, knowing nothing.

[ Engraving ] [ Answer – Eternal ]
So why are you sitting here worshiping? Because what is engraved will surely bring answers. It will never go away. Then what must we engrave right now? Without re-creation it will not change. It will not go out. Without Christ it will not work. You cannot change it. What is once engraved remains forever. That is why we are worshiping now. That is why we go and try to deliver the Word to those in difficulty. You must understand why answers do not come immediately. They come as they are engraved. They come to the extent they are engraved. When you speak of Christ to your children and, upon hearing once, the child senses, “Ah, Christ is so good,” that is when it is engraved. When they sense, “Ah, God’s Word is truly good,” that is when it is engraved. That goes on forever. How important this is. Therefore worship properly. It is the time of engraving. Engraving happens during worship. It does not engrave at other times.

[ Root ] [ Fruit ]
At other times, roots go down. No matter what anyone says, fruit is borne to the extent roots go down. If the roots go down deep, much fruit is borne.

[ Nature ] [ Destiny ]
Then, what has become your nature changes your destiny. There is nothing you can do about it.

Therefore you may have many anxieties within you. All of that becomes engraving, root, and nature. It brings fearful results. So without Christ it cannot be resolved. That is why Christ said, “He called them to be with Him.” This is a very important word.

▣ Introduction

  1. Matthew 4:19
    So Jesus did not speak casually but spoke like this. Do not think of it as difficult: “Follow Me.” “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
  2. Matthew 28:16–20
    And He said, “I will be with you always,” and that “with all authority in heaven and on earth.” This becomes engraved. Then it takes root and becomes your nature. At that time amazing things happen—world evangelization takes place. Then it does not matter about you. World evangelization takes place through even one person—you.
  3. Mark 16:15–20
    Jesus spoke. In Mark 16:15–20, at the end He spoke directly. It says, “The Lord who sat at the throne worked with them,” and clear evidences appeared. “In My name demons will be cast out”—of course. “They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. Even if you drink deadly poison, it will not harm you.” Because you have stepped into the work of proclaiming the gospel and because there is evidence that God is with you.

[ 〔1〕·〔3〕·〔8〕 ]
So in the end, how did Jesus conclude? He concluded like this (1·3·8) and ascended. This (1·3·8) is the conclusion Jesus gave. Christ explained God’s kingdom and Only the Holy Spirit.

24·25·eternity
What happens when this becomes 24·25·eternity? You must be able to wait for this.

The reason Koreans do not receive answers quickly is that we are impatient. Koreans are so impatient. About 25 years ago I went to Thailand. There was a boat on a river or at sea. Someone must have written in paint on the boat, “Hurry up and come.” In Korean. So they all know the Korean “ppalli-ppalli” (quickly-quickly). The Japanese do things slowly. Koreans are extremely impatient. So answers must come quickly too. Then they even swallow things that are not answers. Truly impatient. Among those who are even more impatient—what will happen? Koreans drink coffee in one gulp. There is no way to drink slowly. Candy should be melted slowly, but we crunch it down. That’s how Koreans are. I am Korean too; though we have many good qualities, there are truly many strange things.

I feel a bit embarrassed when I go abroad. Japanese women, even when several get on (a vehicle), ride quietly. When a few Koreans get on, they chatter noisily. The Japanese look over like this. In a rush. There is no need to hurry. Unless this (engraving, answer – eternal, root, fruit, nature, destiny) is set, the answer will not come. No matter how much you hurry, it will not come. If this (engraving, answer – eternal, root, fruit, nature, destiny) goes into something else, it will not be corrected. No matter how much you complain, it will not be corrected. This is very important.

Jesus did not speak nonsense during this important time. He spoke important words. Acts 1:1—“the former book”—this means Christ. He Himself explained about the kingdom of God for 40 days. And He said something definite: “Only”—nothing else will do—only. “When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power and be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.”

People take this and, of course, special prayer is needed, but just pray as you work. 24. Right? Try working—you’ll find many hard things. Pray 24. This is where the difference appears. Then there is no other difference. Only this difference. There is no difference between pastors who cannot carry out the gospel movement and me. Many are far more excellent than I. But this (1·3·8, 24·25·00) is the difference. Just enjoy this (1·3·8, 24·25·eternity). Then answers come.

“You say that, but what if difficulties come when we go to church?” The impatient then say so. It is not like that. Thinking that way is the problem. No problem can overcome these (the points in the introduction). Right? No disaster that strikes your family can overcome Christ, God’s kingdom, and Only the Holy Spirit. Right? Not knowing this, you have engraved the opposite in abundance. That is why. Engraving wrong things in abundance—unknowingly, the roots go down. One day, though you have done nothing wrong, strange things keep striking your home. Then destiny is being determined. It may look like nothing as you come, receive the Word, and pray, but it is not so. It begins to become like this (engraving, answer – eternal, root, fruit, nature, destiny).

Therefore, during the cell-lesson time, do not force children; they must feel it is fun. Right? That is when it is engraved. Children like funny teachers. In the past, when I attended church, there was a very funny assistant pastor. Everyone loved him. But he never spoke the gospel. And there was an “assistant pastor with a bag of stories.” When he came out, he told so many entertaining stories. It helps in some ways. But he, too, never spoke only the gospel. They never spoke this (1·3·8). That is the problem. So I could not realize the gospel from youth to adulthood. I had never heard it. They kept telling respectable stories, those kinds of stories—just like the Pharisees. They kept telling only such things and not the gospel. You must remember this well.

Only·Uniqueness·Re-creation
If things remain like this, do you know which answer comes first? What you do for a living may seem like nothing, but the “Only” answer comes. Right? You were a nobody, but this emerges in you—Uniqueness. At last, the re-creation that saves that field emerges. When things have been engraved, rooted, and formed as your nature, this (Only·Uniqueness·Re-creation) appears. For example, if we spend just three days continuing to worry, what happens? Problems come immediately.

I went to a conference in the United States. A certain pastor—famous, a professor and such—a person like that came to a conference, and in Washington someone came to see him. Because he was famous, they came and said, “Pastor Ryu Kwang-Soo, please declare that Darakbang is a heresy. They are evangelizing too actively—we must stop them.” At that time, he was still a professor—a lecturer—and now he is a pastor. But he was a very conscientious person. “Can I say it is heresy when I do not know if it is or not?” He said he worried all night. He searched materials, went on the internet, contacted people. He said that no matter how he looked, it was not heresy. He was a wise man. He could tell that the writings were slander—he knew it by seeing them. There were more accusations. “Ah, this was done like this.” He understood. So on the first day of lectures the next day, he kept sipping water as he came out. He said, “No matter how I think, I worried all night and prayed, but Darakbang is not heresy.” On the spot he was expelled. A three-day conference was canceled. Even more absurd—when he returned to the school, he was fired. He was so stressed. Then he came asking to meet me. Immediately under that stress, his blood pressure and blood sugar rose and he collapsed. If you become engraved-rooted-natured for just three days like that, it can happen. As he left, he gave me a phone number and said, “Please contact here and be sure to take care of your health.” He didn’t seem malicious.

WITH·Immanuel·Oneness
What evidences come at this time? They come to me, and others recognize them too. WITH. “Ah, God was with me.” When is it that I, myself, receive the greatest answer, the greatest grace? When I sense, “God is with me.” Immanuel. “God is with the church and with us.” I thought everything was hard and difficult, but as time passes I see this. I see the blessing of Oneness.

Up to here are the answers of companionship that come. You must have assurance of this. In the church, and also at the headquarters, there are many who labor. In a way, you have the most difficult task. If you enjoy these blessings (all the foregoing), you are actually doing the most important work. In many places of the church, there are many who work hidden, unseen. That is even more important. And though many do not proclaim the gospel at all, we alone are now proclaiming the gospel to America and to the world. You are working in that. You must know that those who work hidden in the church and hidden in the headquarters are important. You must make this (all the foregoing) a chance to enjoy blessings.

▣ Main

  1. WITH – Wherever you are
    Then, if you have the blessing of WITH, what answer arises? It does not matter where you are. Right? This is important. If you do not enjoy the blessing of WITH, even a small problem makes you struggle.
  2. Immanuel – Whomever you meet
    If you are enjoying the blessing of Immanuel, it does not matter whom you meet. If you do not constantly recognize this blessing of Immanuel, you change according to whom you meet. Right? Meet a wicked person—you absorb wickedness; meet a strange person—you become strange; meet a somewhat good person—you get better. It becomes like that. Your children and posterity must not become like this. They must meet and enjoy these blessings (of the main message) so that it is fine no matter whom they meet.
  3. Oneness – Whatever happens
    And if you enjoy the blessing of Oneness, it is fine whatever happens. In fact, you are already receiving this blessing. You just do not realize it. If you come to know, you will enjoy many things. Thus when you begin to receive this answer, you realize that you are important. “Ah, I am important.” Whatever it is—even if it is cleaning—it does not matter. Is this not Joseph? He became prime minister even while cleaning. So many of our remnants and young adults worry a lot: “What work should I do and where should I go?” No need. If you enjoy to the highest degree where you are, the next answer comes. You must remember this. Therefore, wherever you are, whomever you meet, and whatever happens, it is fine. This is not comfort—it is fact. You must have the eyes to see this.

For 40 years, while carrying out the evangelism movement, the hardest struggle for me has been this: so many people around me speak strange words, act strangely, fight, have conflicts among themselves—so many. Unimaginable things—beyond words—astonishingly many. I enjoy these blessings (of the main message). I always conclude, “Ah, it is my fault that I came to hear such things.” Even when it is not. I am clearly not a thief, yet if people keep saying I look like a thief, there is a problem. Right? I have never swindled anyone, but if they call me a swindler, I must think about that a bit. Right? If you conclude like that, many things open to you. Then these blessings (of the main message) come. I have experienced this for 40 years. We must respect people, but we must look even more carefully at God’s Word.

Then let me simply give a few examples.

  1. WITH – Wherever you are

1) Joseph
Joseph. Please read the cell-lesson book carefully; I am now just explaining.

2) Triune God
And the Triune God is always with me. Joseph continually enjoyed this blessing.

3) Answer, non-answer
And there is something you must surely remember. Answers are answers, and non-answers are also answers. Because God is with me, that is the answer. Joseph helped a chief official while in prison, but after the official was released, he forgot Joseph. That was the answer. We might say, “How could he? So unfaithful—he neither visited me nor helped me.” But for Joseph, that was the answer.

  1. Immanuel – Whomever you meet
    As for the blessing of Immanuel—you know many examples, but I will give only one.
    [ David ]
    David. There are many examples, but he seems to have enjoyed it the most.

1) Spiritual system
If you set up only the spiritual system with assurance of the blessing of Immanuel, all the blessings of meetings will come. Simply put, if you pray a little, are not deceived, and enjoy these blessings (engraving, answer – eternal, root, fruit, nature, destiny), then all meetings will come as answers.

2) Church
From then on, whereas before you fell into trials when you went to church, from then on the church becomes an answer.

3) Witness – evidence
From that time, when you go to church you go as a witness and carry evidence.

As you worship today on the Lord’s Day, the most important thing is that you come to worship carrying the evidences from last week’s message—then it is different. I deliver many messages, but the most important point is this: I must not speak my words. So I hold to the evidences God has given and stand again as a witness. Today as you worship, you must also find this: “God is with me—what evidence is this?” You must find it and carry it. When a problem comes, you must not go to sleep holding the problem. It gets engraved. If you sleep thinking, “Why is that person like that?” you must not. Remember this. Everything comes from there. You must surely receive the answer God gives and then sleep. Then evidence must come. You bring that evidence to church. What is your problem right now? Do not carry that problem as-is to worship or to bed. You must find the answer. Even if it is so big that it will not come quickly, it does not matter. What is the characteristic of Joseph and David? They held the answer.

  1. Oneness – Whatever happens

1) In advance
Therefore all things work together for good, and from then on you begin to see this in advance.

2) Way
You go into the field—Joseph and others went on difficult paths. All of that became the way to fulfill God’s will—all became blessed paths. Because when combined, answers arose.

3) All incidents
In all incidents you now see Oneness. This is not mere comfort. It is absolutely so.

Today, on the Lord’s Day, you must hold to the covenant of peace and pray. Then do not go into deep prayer to find an answer—receive God’s answer. Take that and worship today and return. Then during the week, if you have cell meetings or regional church gatherings, you testify and present the evidences directly. People truly come to life. Thus the small work you do will be changed by God into a precious work used for world evangelization.

▣ Conclusion (Philippians 3:1–21)
Let me conclude. Paul said something important in Philippians 3. Paul was very learned. If Paul had been uneducated and had said these things (Philippians 3:1–21), it would be a bit strange. “I consider all knowledge and what I have had until now as refuse and loss. I have now learned that the knowledge of Christ is the most excellent knowledge.” He said astonishing things. “I have not attained anything. I have done nothing,” though he had done an enormous amount of work. At the time he confessed this, he had done tremendous work. He should have said, “Until now God has done many works…,” but instead he said, “I have done nothing.” Looking precisely, that is correct. Because all was done by God’s grace. “I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” And he spoke of “the prize given from above.” Paul had a reason to speak so. What he had so much of was unnecessary—the prize from above. Lastly, though he was a Roman citizen, which was great, he said not that but “citizenship in heaven.”

Peace (answer)
There you truly gain peace, and as this becomes engraved, rooted, and your nature, all healing takes place. Do not try to fix yourself; with thanksgiving, change your engraving, root, and nature. Today was a bit long, but do not worry about those with spiritual problems—change the engraving, root, and nature. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Let this be a precious day of receiving great grace from God as we worship all day. Let a new challenge begin to change my engraving, root, and nature. Make us witnesses who receive true answers. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

From the Bartizan of the Three Courtyards

Prayer Journal: October 30, 2025
01. Feb. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8

I am not saying this to boast, but to share what I have received by God’s grace, hoping it may help you. There are many things and many people in the church. It doesn’t matter. And there are many different styles of churches. It doesn’t matter either. Just serve. While doing that, I did one thing. In every church I went to, there were people who could be evangelized. Always—at least one or two. I met those people. I evangelized them separately, in every church I went to. No one could say anything against that. It’s evangelism. If it were something else, they might criticize, but evangelism? No. And in every church I went to, the fire was ignited. That was God’s grace. I was amazed.

President of Elders’ Association, President of Ordained Deacons’ Association, President of Women’s Mission Society, President of Women Elders’ Association, Young Adults, College
So this year, look carefully. Simply put, if there is a president among the elders, that’s good—it’s because he represents them. Among ordained deacons, there is also a president. There’s also a president of the women’s mission society, and nowadays, there are many women elders. That’s fine. They can do even better than men. It’s fine. Women elders’ president. And (young adults, college) I did not include the middle and high school departments; they were separate. This group (presidents of elders, ordained deacons, women’s mission society, women elders, young adults, college) are the precious cores of the church. These people plan evangelism. There must be someone who plays a definite assistant or secretary role—that’s the college group. And someone who takes a leadership role—that’s the young adults. I will talk about this at the young adults’ retreat this time. The elders help the church stand firm. That’s why we use the term “five-person team.” The ordained deacons work behind the scenes so that spiritual revival takes place. There is no time to waste. They make it happen. These are all such people. Of course, some may go directly into the field, but if an elder stops running his business to go around evangelizing all the time, I don’t think that’s the best approach. Then what are they to do when they gather like this?

(Preparation for the 300% Camp)
The answer is this: prepare the 300% camp. The issue is not church growth—it must come to life. There must be at least one person who truly comes to life. Even if there’s just one, that person must go and save people, save their workplace, save the field, and save the church. But going to work and ruining people, or harming others everywhere—that cannot be. This is truly a time of grace.

(Guidance of the Holy Spirit, Working of the Holy Spirit, Fruit of the Holy Spirit)
Then, as mentioned earlier, this (25) is the enjoyment of the kingdom of God—receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit together. The work of the Holy Spirit takes place in the field. The fruit of the Holy Spirit appears. These three—this is 300%. So we first receive the answer and gain strength. You do not come to church to start working first—you first gain strength. The blessing must first arise. If not, people fall into trials while working in church, and the number of those who continue to work until the end is the fewest. They all get discouraged. But is there really any reason to be discouraged like that? You must simply do it like this. This group (presidents of elders, ordained deacons, women’s mission society, women elders, young adults, college) must be identified this year without fail.

▣ Introduction – Young Adults: God’s Goal [Three Courtyards]
Now, among these, today we will focus on what young adults must do. Of course, this applies to all believers, but we must know God’s goal. It’s not only that we must be aligned in direction with God, but our goal must also match His. For example, no matter how well you play soccer, you must score a goal to win. If we play Brazil, and Brazil scores none but we score one, we win.
This is the three courtyards—the three courtyards that Jesus pointed out with indignation. These are God’s goals. Look at the Bible.

  1. Acts 13, 16, 19 (Mission Door)
    In chapters 13, 16, and 19, what appears at the beginning? The Gentile door opens completely under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It shows the opening of the missionary door.
  2. Acts 13, 16, 19 (Healing) – Nephilim
    Also in chapters 13, 16, and 19, what else do we see? The courtyard of healing. Simply put, this is healing the Nephilim. Yesterday, when I met with medical professionals, I said this: the calling of medical professionals is to heal the Nephilim described in the Bible. They must know this, because that is the root of sickness, and later it plays a major role in causing problems.
  3. Acts 17, 18, 19 (RT)
    Then in chapters 17, 18, and 19, the synagogue appears—the courtyard of children.
    These three are God’s goals: to save the Gentiles, to heal the sick, and to save the next generation. The direction must align, but the goal must also be right.

▣ Main Message – The Throne, Transcending Time and Space, Unprecedented and Never-Repeated
From this point, three blessings come to you. When you do this (the three courtyards), the blessing of the throne that Jesus promised arises. When your goal aligns this way, you receive the blessing of the throne, and since you must save the 237 nations, the answer of transcending time and space comes. What is prayer? It is transcending time and space. Then what comes next? The answer that belongs only to you—the unprecedented and never-repeated—follows. It’s okay even if you fall; just rise again. That’s not a problem. If you made a mistake, realize it—that’s all. It’s not an issue. But if you lose God’s direction and goal, nothing works. From this point, three things come.

  1. Platform (Acts 2:1–18)
    A platform—people cannot help but come. Acts 2:1–18. What comes from this?
  2. Watchtower
    A watchtower arises—a place that shines light and saves people. It’s also called a bartizan of watch. A watchtower.
  3. Antenna
    You must help people who come to have what you have. That’s the antenna.
    From now on, everything that happens to you is God’s blessing. Simply put, even though our denomination is splitting and forming new assemblies, that’s a great blessing. How good that another one is established! It’s a blessing. Some go, some come—that’s also a blessing. The more I think about it, the more thankful I am. Truly. Those who go, go well; those who come, come well. God is the one who ultimately works it out. I truly hope it goes well for them. When this (platform, watchtower, antenna) is built, the answers come.

▣ Conclusion – Bartizan: Watchman
This (platform, watchtower, antenna) is called a bartizan. Then what do you become? A watchman. We must raise the remnants this way, but I invited the young adults instead this time because they must play this role. You must know God’s goal and take the lead role in it.

▣ Main Message

  1. Platform (Acts 2:1–18)
    What comes inevitably to the platform:

Power (2:1–13)
When they gathered, power came—Acts 2:1–13.

Future (2:17–18)
When they gathered, the future became visible—Acts 2:17–18. “They will prophesy, dream dreams, and see visions.” Platform.

Economy of light (2:43–47)
Even more amazing, in verses 43–47 comes the economy of light. The grace they received on the Lord’s Day (v.42) continues through this flow.

  1. Watchtower (Acts 2:9–11)
    What must be seen carefully here? These people (2:9–11). They came and received the miraculous gospel. When they receive the gospel, what happens? They return to their countries. An amazing event.

1) Foreigners (multiethnic)
Those in verses 9–11 were foreigners, multiethnic people.

2) Jews
Some were Jews, and others were multiethnic people who had followed the Jews there. This was not an ordinary field—this was the very field of world evangelization.

3) Field of world evangelization
Not just world evangelization—it was the field of world evangelization. You must tell this to multiethnic people. You must discern things properly. The fact that they came to Korea and to our church to hear the gospel means they have received an enormous blessing. Therefore, they must not miss it. What must they carry back? They must tear down Satan’s bartizans and establish God’s bartizan. That’s the field.

  1. Antenna (Acts 2:41–47)
    Then, the antenna must be established. I recommend reading Acts 2:41–47.

1) Three thousand
When the antenna was established, three thousand disciples arose.

2) Worship
Not only that—they succeeded in worship. That is the antenna. Worship success. As you worship today, resolve all your conflicts clearly—that’s success.

3) Fulfillment
At this time, the Word was fulfilled in the temple and in homes.

There was an elder who worked as an executive in a major conglomerate. He was my friend. But he was dismissed. Why? Because that company was practically corrupt, and he foresaw its collapse. He was dismissed through the schemes of corrupt leaders. I told him, “Elder, you are amazing. That is success.” He was deeply moved. I wasn’t wrong. “Elder, that is success. Life does not just end like that.” After that, he often talked with me. He made a life decision—though he was older, he went to study theology. His surname was Ha, but his given name was a bit unusual, and he wanted to change it. I said, “Good. I’ll help you.” So we went to see Elder Kim Kwang-Il, who found twelve possible names for him. The elder laughed just as you are now and said to me, “You should be a lawyer.” He changed his name to Ha Hun. He was much older than me. As soon as he began pioneering a church in Yeongdo, he drove down to see me. He said, “Let’s go to Seoul—why are you here in this remote part of Busan?” I said, “I can’t go.” Inside, I thought, “If only you had come earlier.” I had already begun this ministry here, so I couldn’t leave. You can’t live that way. That would have been a big problem.

We often misunderstand what blessing and answer really are. Are you suffering hardships? You are truly blessed. It’s hard to understand, isn’t it? But the Bible says so, and real history confirms it.

▣ Conclusion – Bartizan: Watchman
That’s why God has set you as watchmen. Our remnants must truly remember this. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. We thank You for establishing us again today as Your blessing. Let this be a time to make a resolution through Your Word today. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
