What Darkness Fears

2025.12.20 Scattered Disciples
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237 Nations and the 5000 Tribes (51)
– Model 45 of 7∙7∙7 –
Scripture Reading: Acts 4:1-12

The final conclusion is the scattered ones. This is simple.
1, 3, 8
There are three words that the forces of darkness fear the most. That is this. (1, 3, 8) What the forces of darkness fear the most—“Christ, the kingdom of God, only the Holy Spirit.” When this happens, they tremble completely. It is perfect. This can also be seen as the Triune God. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we give thanks. This year and in the new year, make us people of power who change imprinting, root, and constitution, make us people of healing, and make us summit people who save the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Gospel Roots and Nature

2025.12.20 Core
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (51)
Scripture Reading: Genesis 3:15

Since one year is ending and we must welcome the new year, you must receive a special bonus. Before pastors do the New Year’s prayer, there is something you must do in the church first. Also, if necessary, your families should also try holding a family retreat. In my view, since Christmas is on the 25th, the period between then and January 1 would be the best. If that does not work, you can do it individually. I did it individually. Because there was no one to do it with.
「Imprinting, root, constitution」
So when it gets close to the end of the year and you ask what you must do for the new year, you must check changing this (imprinting, root, constitution).

▣ Introduction_ imprinting movement (only)
So first, the part where you must change imprinting is that you must begin this retreat first. I did it alone. Because there was no one to do it with. What is the very first thing you must do?
1. 40 days – 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, 7 guideposts
Because Jesus did 40 days, you begin a prayer meeting to completely enjoy this.
2. Previous meeting – Acts 1:14 (mission)
Next, before doing this, the previous meeting is important. That is Acts chapter 1 verse 14. Holding onto the mission and devoting oneself only to prayer. You need this kind of time. So you must carry out a movement to change imprinting. What has been imprinted can never be changed, but it can be changed only through the gospel and the Word. Because it can be changed by only, you must do it. It cannot be changed by anything else. It can be changed only by the Holy Spirit. So you must hold these kinds of meetings.
3. Meeting
Then after doing this, the important meeting now is worship. If you had the previous meeting, there must be a meeting. Many very important things come here.
1) Acts 2:1-4 (three feasts)
It says, “When the day of Pentecost had fully come.” Here, the blessing of the three feasts must be enjoyed.
2) Acts 2:17-18
When you hold this meeting, the future becomes visible. I simply continued the prayer meeting until these kinds of answers came out. So this is a movement to imprint.
3) Acts 2:42
And the important thing is that worship comes alive. “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
4) Acts 2:43-45
To what extent must this go? To the economy of light. Those who hear this message today must give offerings with great sincerity and prayer. So it was said that the early church had no lack.
5) Acts 2:46-47
Now the Word begins to be fulfilled in the field.
4. Set time
Then there are two more things to do. From this time, set-time prayer began to continue.
1) Acts 3:1
For example, Acts chapter 3 verse 1. “At the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.”
2) Acts 16:11
Places like Acts chapter 16 verse 11 also say, “On the way to the place of prayer.”
3) Acts 16:19-40
In Acts chapter 16 verses 19 to 40, Paul is imprisoned, and there he again prays, praises, and worships.
5. Constantly 24, 25, eternity
What is even more important now is this. Now you will come to pray constantly. This means prayer that enjoys 24, 25, eternity. Now, when prayer becomes like this, there is no completion to prayer, but you have completed it.
1) Ephesians 6:18
So in Ephesians chapter 6 verse 18, “pray at all times in the Spirit,” you must go through this process of concentration. How do you do it? It differs according to the church and the size of the meeting. It is different when many gather and when a small number gather. When it is small, it is better. You look up the Bible together, pray together, do united prayer, and go on like this.
2) 1 Thessalonians 5:17
In 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 17 it also says, “pray without ceasing.”
So in my case, I did this prayer several times until I received the answer. It may look like nothing, right? As I continued this determined prayer with these 40 days, it was not that answers came, but my thinking began to change. I realized, “Ah, I was praying wrongly.” So then I began a large evangelism school. And this (40 days, previous meeting) is done alone, and this (meeting) is done during worship. Then later, it becomes set-time prayer and constant prayer.
[ Restoration ┃ confirmation ┃ answer ]
I now do it unconditionally like this. In the morning time, I must restore all strength. During the day, I confirm through prayer. At night, since I usually have to prepare messages, I find the answer. I must continue this. You must listen to the healing message that was given yesterday at Immanuel Seoul Church. There is a lot about prayer. So when you sleep at night, fatigue is restored, but disease also enters. In fact, no one sleeps with their lips completely closed. They open slightly. At that time, tremendous bacteria form and the lungs are damaged. If that is the case, the more you sleep, the more damage there is. When you wake up in the morning, you must restore through prayer. So as I said in yesterday’s message, you must hold onto two things. There are two lifelines. The line of prayer. And the line of breathing. You must always hold onto these two. Then I do this for several hours when I open my eyes in the morning. Since there is no time, I do this while moving, slowly, to revive the entire brain and lungs and everything. And because the spiritual 7·7·7 also enters, all spiritual things are revived as well. So there is no set time. Morning lasts until I meet you. If my retreat is in the evening and there was nothing scheduled in the morning, then I just continue from the moment I open my eyes. Then, conscientiously, during the day I confirm through prayer. At night, before sleeping, since I have to prepare messages, I find the answer. I continue this. So do not let go of the two lifelines. You must do it like that. Then probably fundamental healing will take place. And fundamental strength will arise. Only then can you fulfill the fundamental mission.

▣ Main point_ root, constitution
Now, with what is imprinted at this time, it takes root and becomes a constitution. If you do this (introduction) well, you can completely change this (root, constitution).
1. Acts 11:1-18 → Acts 11:19-30
Now, it is rooted like this. How is it rooted? It is rooted in Jewish ideology. Why? Because the imprinting was wrong. A church that overturned this arose. It was the Antioch Church. You must firmly receive this blessing. You must change the constitution and the root.
2. Galatians 2:10-19 → Galatians 2:20
This rooted idea says, “Even if you are saved, you must keep the Jewish law.” This root must be completely healed. It says, “I have been crucified with Christ.” I am dead. I who was to receive destruction no longer exist. I who was an object of curse, a child of Satan, have disappeared and died. So now Christ lives in me. I live by faith in that fact. It is completely overturned. You must do this before this year ends. From now on, make a resolution once and continue praying. I have now come to here (restoration, confirmation, answer), so I always do it like this. It is fine. Yesterday, after finishing the retreat, I had to come in the morning, and I truly did not sleep even one minute. It is fine. I am continuing this (restoration, confirmation, answer). Then you gain tremendous strength. As was said at church yesterday, if you continue praying while holding onto the two lifelines, the body lives and everything lives. So I had a physical examination, and the results came out the best. Completely normal. So many people say that if you do not sleep much, many things happen, and that is true, but it is fine.
Lifeline
Hold onto the two lifelines. These two are life. Breathing and prayer are life. If you do not understand this well, then try not breathing.
3. Matthew 12:26-30 → Matthew 13:1-58
So Satan has completely built a house. This is old. You must change the root. What is changing it? When you know what is imprinted and do it with God’s Word, the constitution is overturned. At this time, Jesus taught His disciples. He explained what the kingdom of heaven is and what the gospel is. It may look like your faith is small, like a mustard seed, but it becomes a forest. That is what He said. It cannot be seen with the eyes, but it spreads like yeast. It may look like you are suffering now, but underneath there is a field of treasure. That is what He said.
4. John 16:11-14 → the anointed one, ambassador
You must change this rooted thing. In John chapter 16 verses 11 to 14, the ruler of this world, Satan, is the king. You must completely change this. The anointed one, Christ, who is the true king, the true prophet, and the true priest. We are ambassadors here. Now you must completely change the constitution. So try concentrating once.
5. 2 Corinthians 4:4-5 → 2 Corinthians 4:7-8
They serve Satan as god. We change to 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verses 7 and 8. We are like jars of clay, but in this jar of clay we have treasure. This means the power belongs to God. Everyone, this is coffee. This is a coffee cup. If you put urine in it, it becomes a chamber pot. Right? No matter how weak we are, we have treasure inside. Then it is a vessel containing treasure. If the Holy Spirit of God dwells in us, we are the temple. So even if we are hard pressed, it is okay. We are hard pressed. It is okay. We are perplexed. Even if we are perplexed, we do not despair. Why? Because we have treasure inside. The jar of clay is weak, but it has treasure inside. We are persecuted. Even if we are persecuted, we are not abandoned. We are struck down. Even then, we are not destroyed. Then what does this mean? Just as Jesus died, we also participated in that, and because Jesus was changed into life, we also participate in that. So everything is changed. We cannot change it by our own strength, but we can change it by the Word and by power.
6. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 → 2 Corinthians 12:1-10
It is rooted. Completely, Satan, my stubbornness has become a bartizan. As people get older, it becomes like this. My stubbornness has completely become a fortress. A fortress. This must be changed. This is 2 Corinthians chapter 12 verses 1 to 10. It was the main text of yesterday’s Friday overnight healing message. What did Paul begin with? He saw the third heaven. Because of illness, we enter into that kind of prayer before God. In many cases, God works through those who are ill. And he said that he heard many secrets. And it became a path through which great grace was given.

▣ Conclusion_ [ assurance ]
You must have assurance. Shouldn’t you receive answers? You must have assurance.
1. 2 Corinthians 5:17
This is 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17. You have become a new creation. You have been recreated.
2. 1 Corinthians 3:16
Why? Because the Holy Spirit dwells in us. So we are God’s temple. Where a king is, that is a palace. Even if it is a crushed house, if a king is there, it is a palace. Even if it is a huge mansion, if beggars gather there, it is a beggars’ den. You must remember this.
3. Galatians 2:20
Christ dwells in me. I died on the cross.
4. Ephesians 6:10-20
So now we are armed and overcome Satan.
5. Philippians 3:8-21
And this is our background. Philippians chapter 3 verses 8 to 21. What is above is our background. The throne is our background. We receive rewards and go on like this. And that name is the name that makes all things submit.
Work
So continue this prayer, continue the 7·7·7 prayer, and create works. Works will come out. Now, wrapping up this year, from next year on, pastors must truly save the 12 regions. Since I do not have time, I am looking for people to do it. “If not, should I just gather people who have nowhere to go and do it?” In some ways, that is better. Because those people can do 24. Since they originally did nothing 24, you just change that. Now, who you assign is important. This is also the key. Going there and finding them is a key, but who you assign is also a key. The standard is also 24. In the past, when I was running to about thirty places in Busan teaching Bible study in the upper rooms, there was a grandmother who followed from the beginning to the end. She followed and memorized everything. Why? Because she did not know Korean letters. She was Korean, but she did not know Hangul. But she did upper room ministry. Coincidentally, a PhD came from the United States to explore upper rooms, and that house was assigned. He received tremendous grace. A person who does not even know Hangul does upper room ministry, so why can’t I, who even have a PhD? May there be the blessing of completely changing everything, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Remnants’ Imprint

2025.12.20 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Evangelist’s Life and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (51)
– Model 45 of the 3 Courtyards –
Scripture Reading: Genesis 37:1-11

After you finish, we also hold our infant and toddler department, preschool meetings. Also, our parents bring their children and attend the Saturday core, and so on. Some children attend elementary theological school, and others attend youth, and so on. Why is this important?
「Remnant imprinting」 (Genesis 37:1-11)
When imprinting takes place during the Remnant age, what happens?

▣ Introduction
1. Past – foothold
When the gospel becomes imprinted, all of the past does not become wounds but becomes a foothold. When people do not have the gospel, everything becomes wounds.
2. Today – path
When the gospel becomes imprinted, today all becomes a path. Going as a slave is also a path. Being falsely accused and going to prison is also a path. It is completely the same situation, but for some people it becomes a path of destruction, while for others it all becomes a path.
3. Tomorrow – eternity
When this (Remnant imprinting) becomes imprinted, tomorrow appears as something eternal.

▣ Main point_ opportunity
This is a well-known part. For Remnants, now is the opportunity. It is okay even if there are no answers now. Now is the time to prepare, not the time to receive answers. If you prepare 300%, you will absolutely be victorious. Therefore, tremendous blessings of world evangelization still remain for the Remnants.
1. Genesis 37:1-11
Now, look. The brothers only knew about eating and clothing. But when Joseph was at the level of youth Remnants, the covenant called world evangelization became firmly imprinted. From this point on, there was nothing to worry about. Wherever he went was fine. Everything became a path. Right? The important thing is that Joseph was imprinted when he was young.
2. Exodus 2:1-10
Now, look. The covenant Moses received from his mother when he was young, the gospel, became imprinted. This is important. If something else becomes imprinted at a young age, problems usually do not just come lightly. Most of the time, people become imprinted with Satan’s twelve strategies. It is extremely important. Therefore, when our parents send their children to elementary theological school or youth theological school, they must give great blessing prayers for them going. You may think lightly of it, but mothers must do it that way as well. Holding the child’s hand, or even placing a hand on their head is fine. You must give blessing prayers. Do you understand? I am saying to do it when they go to theological school. What is amazing is that when I had not yet fully understood the gospel, my mother went to early morning prayer every single day without missing a day, and after coming back, she would grab my feet and pray. Not even holding my hands, but my feet. If she had placed her hand on my head back then, even greater works would have taken place. I am serious. Not missing a single day. Sometimes I might have been asleep and not known, but without missing a single day. That is not an ordinary thing. When sending children to elementary or youth theological school, give them blessing prayers. Of course, when they go to school it is also important, but this (main point) is what is important now. Because this does not become imprinted, something else becomes imprinted. Especially for Remnants, because it goes on eternally. That is why I said to create an elementary school in Busan. In the future, whether someone becomes a pastor, a politician, a legal professional, or a specialist, this (main point) must enter at the elementary school age. Otherwise, they will suffer all their life. They cannot evangelize. It is already hard just to eat and live; how can they evangelize? It is hard just to study, get a job, and live, so how can they do missions? If it becomes imprinted when they are young, everything enters.
3. 1 Samuel 3:1-19
The covenant entered young Samuel. “The LORD let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.” This Samuel raises the Mizpah Movement. This Samuel finds David. “As long as Samuel lived, there was no war.” “Whoever saw Samuel believed in God.” All of this was from when he was young. So when you come to the core and teach our children and gather like this, you must think of it as extremely important. Even they themselves do not know it. Later, history will arise.
4. 1 Samuel 16:1-13
Look at this now. Samuel the priest came to young David, anointed him, and prayed a blessing. You know what happened after that. What I want to ask our Remnants is this: since you will receive the blessing to do world evangelization, prepare the vessel from now on, the vessel. Because it is certain that you will receive it.
5. 1 Kings 19:19-21
It is Elisha. From a young age, he already held the covenant. Elijah called him as a disciple at the most difficult time. If you follow him, you die. But he burned all the farming tools and followed him. What does that mean? It means he made a clear decision as if he had been waiting for it all along. While everyone else liked material things and positions, Elisha said, “Please let me inherit a double portion of your spirit.” Thus Elisha became the main figure of the Dothan Movement. So during this worship time, you must believe that you have already received all the answers. Is that right? It has been fulfilled. The moment you receive the Word, the answers are already fully prepared.
6. Daniel 1:8-9
Now look at this. Daniel became a captive in Babylon, but he was in a successful position. But the important thing is not that. From a young age, he already stored in his heart what the prophet Isaiah had prophesied. So when he was taken captive to Babylon, he made a decision. “He resolved.” You know what happened through Daniel. He influenced four kings. The kings. This means that our Remnants will go out in the future and be able to influence many leaders.
7. Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8
That is why Paul went to the synagogues. There he explained who Christ is. “Every Sabbath,” he taught what worship is. He taught what the answer of “the kingdom of God” is. Then many fulfillments take place according to God’s timetable. From the Mark Upper Room to the world, how far have we come now? We have come to 5,000 tribes. God has answered without missing even once. You just need to be inside this. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. May our Remnants be imprinted with the gospel, which is the power of God, from a young age. Now grant them the great blessing of preparing the vessel. Let them become witnesses who prepare 300%. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Gospel Imprint

2025.12.20 Business Missions
The 237 Nations and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (51)
– Bartizan 45 of the 3-day Weekend Age –
Scripture Reading: Genesis 3:15

The year is almost over. What is the most important thing that we church leaders and workers among us must do? Why is it that even though we have lived a life of faith for a long time, we keep getting shaken and end up like this? As the year passes, this must certainly be confirmed.

▣ Introduction_ The answer to life through the gospel
Through the gospel, the answer to life must come out completely. Because this does not come out, we end up facing many temptations, conflicts, and problems. So why must we derive the answer to life through the gospel?
1. Satan – only Christ
Satan is not afraid of Christ. Satan is only Christ. That is the answer. He collapses here. So Satan knows well. He knows well whether you are only Christ or not. If this does not happen, he keeps attacking.
2. Antichrist
If we make even a slight mistake, if we do not become only Christ, many temptations, conflicts, and problems come and terrible things happen. We end up playing the role of an antichrist. So if the answer of only Christ does not come out, even Peter made mistakes and many people made mistakes.
3. Worship, answer, imprinting, confirmation, 6 days, core, prayer journal
Now, what you church leaders and workers must look at as most important right now is worship. Many people try to do a lot of work in church, and of course that is important. But during worship, you must enjoy the most. During this worship, the answer must come out. An answer will come out, right? Then on Sunday or during worship, with this answer that came out, you must imprint it completely. You cannot memorize everything. Therefore, on Sunday during worship, after receiving today’s Word, you must imprint it through prayer. The greatest prayer during prayer is praying out loud, united prayer. It is extremely important. So on Sunday, all day long, you imprint the covenant you have held onto and the answer you have derived. Then it becomes confirmed: what you must do, what covenant you must hold onto. This must happen for it to be connected for 6 days. In the three-day weekend age, starting from today’s core, when you offer Sunday worship, for six days it must come to mind. So even one word is good. With one word, you must be able to enjoy it for 6 days. Then when you receive the message exactly at the core, you come to know something completely different. And when you look at special conferences, we are moving forward little by little as the Word repeats. You come to know that. And then, write down the answers you received in the prayer journal. Just watch what happens. Edison, who prayed a lot, left 3,000 volumes of records of what he gained in his life through prayer. It is tremendous. You must leave a prayer journal.
「Gospel imprinting」
So the most important part is that the gospel becomes completely imprinted. This is the most important. It must be imprinted. Christ is what becomes imprinted. Do you know where it becomes imprinted?
[ Brain, soul, throne ]
It becomes imprinted in the brain. It is imprinted within my soul. What is even more amazing is that there is a place where not a single one of your prayers is missed and they are all imprinted. If you look at Revelation 8:3-5, it is imprinted on the throne. It is tremendous. You have to taste this. Because people do not see this, they hardly know how important Sunday worship is. Workers, you are church leaders. You must certainly receive God’s blessing. Isn’t that right? You must receive 300% answers. Only then can you save the church. With 100%, it is just enough for me to eat and live. It must be 300%. Is 300% possible? Bill Gates did 300%, didn’t he? Already in college, he prepared 100% for what he had to do. Then he stopped college, and what is the remaining 100%? He took over the whole world, the field. In order to keep doing this, he had to prepare for the future, right? He started a company. He built the system. The money he made is enormous. So during worship, the most important part is this power for the gospel to be imprinted; it is tremendous.

▣ Main point_ Workers
Now, then look at the main point. Look at that of workers who derived the answer through the gospel.
1. Genesis 22:1-23
First is Genesis chapter 22. It is a well-known part. He is the son obtained at age 100, but God suddenly tells him to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. But if you look earlier, an important word appears. “God tested Abraham.” So God tested him. But when He said to actually offer his son, he took him, to the mountain. At that time, what do you think Abraham’s heart was like? He must truly obey God’s command and offer him, but when they go up the mountain, the son asks. Isaac said, “Father, every year we always took a lamb, but why is there no lamb?” He asked. At that time, Abraham could say it, right? “This time, God says to offer you.” If he says that, Isaac would be shocked and run away, wouldn’t he? But what did he say? “God will provide.” He said that. That simple one sentence is very important. When he was about to offer Isaac as a sacrifice, God stopped Abraham and had prepared a ram. In place of our death, a ram. Why must we die? We do not know. That is original sin, right? Now, would Abraham and Isaac forget it, or not forget it? It became completely imprinted. What this means is that the gospel was completely imprinted. From this time onward, history began to arise for Abraham. How much blessing did God give Isaac? He gave him 100 times more than other people. Right? If he farmed for one year, He blessed him 100 times. He only had to eat for one year, but what came out was for 100 years. That is not all. Abraham dug many springs, wells. Because in Israel, having many springs is being rich. Because there is no water. At that time, in the Middle East, if you dig the ground, with bad luck oil comes out. Not knowing whether that oil is expensive. There is no water. So Abraham had many wells. Even though the enemies were jealous, Isaac restored all the wells Abraham had dug, and later, he obtained the source of the spring. He was given broader land, the blessing of Rehoboth. Why is that? So that world evangelization can happen. There is a reason God called you.
2. Exodus 2:1-10
After time passed, another hardship came to Israel. At this time, one person with the gospel imprinted appeared. Who is it? It is Jochebed. It is the time she sent Moses to the royal palace, right? She imprinted him completely.
3:18
What? Go to offer a blood sacrifice. That is the cross. Right? Go to offer a blood sacrifice. Moses understood these words. Because he heard it from his mother. This brings about tremendous events. On the day they apply the lamb’s blood, God completely brought down Egypt and liberated Israel. Through the gospel, the complete answer must come out and be imprinted. Our church leader and worker members must think about this. Through the gospel, you can solve everything. Right? Christ is the solver of all problems. Christ completely solved the past, today, and the future. It came out in Hebrews 13:8, right? “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Now, all our elders and church leaders must hold onto this answer. Before the person who holds this, Satan is bound to completely kneel. There is nothing more important than this. No matter how much and how much I think about it, everything is in Christ. The true king, the true prophet, the true priest. And complete darkness kneels before the name of Christ. From the time I came to know this, a few things began to be solved. First, what happened? Prayer began to work. In the past, I did not know how to pray. From the time I came to know this, the door of evangelism began to open. From the time I came to know this, wherever I went, He kept giving revival and economic blessing, and even health. Even from outside, to the point that people were jealous wondering how we handled money, God blessed us economically. Other organizations have nothing to investigate. Why? There is no money. You can investigate only if there is money. You understand. Wherever we go, now the door of 5,000 tribes is beginning to open wide. Elders, all church leaders, I hope you completely derive the answer through Christ. This must be imprinted completely. And then you imprint it to the next generation. Jochebed imprinted this tremendous covenant to Moses. Even after 80 years passed, it did not disappear, and that covenant was fulfilled. So no one knows when answers will come to you.
3. Joshua 2:1-16
Look now. It is Rahab. This Rahab completely understood the covenant. She heard the news that on the day they applied the lamb’s blood, God brought down Egypt, brought down darkness, and the people of Israel came out liberated. And she confessed, didn’t she? She reminded and confessed that He is the true God. And then she made a request. “You will surely be victorious. When you go, save my family.” She said that, didn’t she? How certain the covenant is. In the Bible it says, “Even by hearing only the report.” There are people who do not get it even if they hear sermons for 100 days, but she, just by hearing the report. What report? Just by hearing the report that they were liberated on the day they applied the lamb’s blood, history arose. You know what happened, right? Rahab goes into the land of Israel. She goes there and marries. There she bears descendants. Among those descendants, a figure named David comes out. The power of the gospel surpasses imagination. It has always been so, but today I hope you derive the complete answer through Christ. With the power you have, Satan can defeat you. So he does not fear at all the power you have. This Satan does not fear the money you have. He can bring it down in an instant. Right? He does not fear your ability either. This Satan kneels to only one thing. Christ. How good this word is—Satan hates this word the most. That is why if you only proclaim the gospel, not only unbelievers but even believers oppose it. Strangely. When they killed Stephen, they gnashed their teeth. Have you seen someone gnash their teeth like that? I have seen someone gnash their teeth while sleeping. It is truly strange. Why did they gnash their teeth and try to kill Stephen when he spoke about the gospel? Satan fears Christ. He trembles. So he knows whether you have derived the answer through Christ or not. I hope you derive it today. This church leader must be blessed. Right? Of course. Only when you derive the answer through Christ does everything begin to come alive.

▣ Main point_ Workers (miracle)
Each time, miracles happened. So many people think of this word lightly.
4. 1 Samuel 7:9-10
Another problem came. They keep forgetting this. At that time, a figure named Samuel appeared. So he said, “Let all the people gather at Mizpah. The Philistines are not the problem.” Right? We make excuses. How our home is, how someone is. No. The Philistines are not the problem. “Gather at Mizpah. Return to the LORD. Throw away all idols.” And there is something they did. I am telling you there is something they did. It is easy to omit. At that time they offered a blood sacrifice before God. That content appears, but many people easily miss it. From this point, the Philistines began to be completely brought down. After doing that. Now, you must not miss it.
5. Isaiah 7:14
They missed it again. Missing it, they then became captives and went to Babylon. This is the Word given at that time. “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.” Simply put, He would give the blessing that Christ would accomplish the work of Immanuel. You must not miss it. If you do not miss it, you will be victorious.
6. Matthew 16:16
They missed it again. This time they became a colony under Rome. That is not a coincidence. Why Babylon? Because there are 237 and 5,000 tribes. We must shine the light there. This time they became a colony under Rome. Why Rome? Because there are 237 and 5,000 tribes. This is the word that appears there. “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” At that time, Jesus spoke of all blessings. “Simon son of Jonah, you are blessed.” He did not say, you are smart. “You are blessed. This was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.” Right? And then, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church.” This is not shifting sand. “I will make you like a rock and I will build My church. The power of darkness, the power of Hades will not overcome you. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” It is finished. After I came to know this, all worries ended. There is no need to fight. If someone picks a fight, I lose. I can lose. Because this is not winning, right? Joseph’s brothers sold Joseph, but they did not win. They were ruined. King Saul had power and kept harassing David. That is not power. That is a curse. Right? Do not fear the world too much or be too afraid. Through this confession of Peter, the door of world evangelization began to open.
7. Romans 1:16-17
This is Paul’s confession. People said Paul was crazy. Because he threw away tremendous things and did only Christ. He is crazy. Even the judge said, “He is crazy.” He said, you studied a lot and then you went insane. So Paul answered like this. “I wish you would become like me too, except for these chains.” He said that, didn’t he? He is saying, I hope you too become crazy for Christ, because of Christ. Paul evangelized the world. So, “I am not ashamed of the gospel.” No matter what you say, I am not ashamed. This means it is my greatest pride. The reason? “Because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” And then, “The righteous will live by faith.” Quoting this, that is the answer the prophet Habakkuk gave in Habakkuk 2:4. Habakkuk asked God, “Why do the wicked prosper? Why do the righteous suffer?” At that time God answered like this. “Write My words on tablets of stone.” What does that mean? If you carve it on stone tablets, it does not disappear. “Make it so that even one who runs can read it.” What does that mean? Is it not that God’s Word contains what is eternal? What does that mean? It means that suffering when you have done nothing wrong is only for a moment, and though it seems the wicked are doing well, it is only for a moment. So write My words on tablets of stone. And then He says, “The righteous will live by faith.” Paul, who knew the Scriptures well, quoted this. Who quoted this Word? Luther did. The world was completely turned upside down. Today, when you know the reason you must derive the answer through Christ, and when this gospel is completely imprinted, this (main point) history will arise in the same way.

▣ Conclusion_ [ Knowing, imprinting ]
Knowing the gospel and being imprinted are different. Satan also knows the fact that Jesus is the Christ. Right? Satan also knows that there is power in the gospel. So he keeps interfering. But being imprinted means that because it has been done here (brain, soul, throne), history cannot help but arise. When this conference ends, you must hold onto this covenant and pray.
Paul, those teams
These are Paul and those teams. Paul met Christ on the road to Damascus. All answers came out. Paul is someone who knows the Scriptures well. He knows the Old Testament well, but because of what, this problem came, and all answers came out. To what extent did it come out? He said he considers everything he boasted in until now as dung. So Satan trembles.
(Romans 16:20)
Satan has knelt. Everyone, if you cast Satan out, he comes again. Right? If you pray in the name of Jesus, demons are cast out. But they come again. But if you derive the complete answer through Christ, he cannot come at all. He kneels. So all the pastors in this region, now hold onto the covenant firmly. Build about 12 absolute bartizans. And then make about 1,000 upper rooms. Then history will arise. Form special teams and do it. If you go to 1,000 places, you find 1,000 people. Because we do not go, we miss them. May there be the blessing of a new start today and of preparing great answers next year, in the name of Jesus Christ, I bless you.

Prayer. May the grace of Jesus Christ, the solver of all problems, and the eternal love of God, and the present working of the Holy Spirit be with all God’s people who have derived the complete answer through Christ, from now and forever, always. Amen.

I Know Not Why God’s Wondrous Grace
D. W. Whittle

I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me is daily shown,
Nor why, with mercy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for his own.

But “I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that he is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto him against that day.”

I know not how this saving faith
To me he did impart,
Nor how believing in his word
Wrought peace within my heart.  Refrain

I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing us of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in him.  Refrain

I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I’ll walk the vale with him,
Or meet him in the air.  Refrain

There Is No Name So Sweet
George W. Bethune

There is no name so sweet on earth,
No name so sweet in heaven,
The name before his wondrous birth
To Christ the Savior given.

We love to sing around our King,
And hail him blessed Jesus;
For there’s no word ear ever heard
So dear, so sweet as “Jesus.”

And when he hung upon the tree,
They wrote this name above him;
That all might see the reason we
Forevermore must love him. Refrain

So now, upon his Father’s throne,
Almighty to release us
From sin and pains, he gladly reigns,
The Prince and Savior Jesus. Refrain

And ev’ry tongue confess him,
And we unite with saints in light,
Our only Lord to bless him. Refrain

O Jesus, by that matchless name,
Your grace shall fail us never;
Today as yesterday the same,
You art the same forever. Refrain

Scripture Reading
Ephesians 1:1-14
Pastor Samuel
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,
…To God’s holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

Salvation Is God’s Choice

Full Transcript

▣ Introduction
1. Because we do not know well what the gospel (salvation) is and what the blessings of the saved are
1) They are great powers, yet there are many disasters and people with mental illnesses.
2) Believers are not receiving the answers that are in the Bible.
3) Churches cannot evangelize, and there are many self-supporting churches.

2. Paul’s confession
1) Salvation is a miracle, and the blessings of those who are saved are tremendous.
2) When we come to know this, the way we see ourselves and believers changes. They are extremely precious people, and they are a miracle.
3) We must return to the heart of Paul who confessed, “Blessed be!” out of deep gratitude.

▷ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. According to the good pleasure of His will, He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ. This was to the praise of the glory of His grace. According to the riches of His grace, He redeemed us through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. For the administration of the fullness of the times, He united all things in heaven and on earth in Christ. According to His will, He predestined us and made us His inheritance. He sealed us with the Holy Spirit. He became the guarantee of our inheritance.

▣ Main point: What does it mean to praise
1. Blessed be for giving us true destiny and completely liberating us (verse 3).
1) Paul saw God who liberated us from curse, disaster, and darkness.
2) To Paul, who praised this, God gave the work of saving the entire world.
3) While many souls around the world are dying, there is no concern. The church must begin prayer and save them.

2. Blessed be for giving us true power (verse 8).
1) He gave us His name so that we could save the entire world (Ephesians chapter 3).
2) Great powers, small nations, and religions cannot save the world.
3) Therefore, the age of mental illness, the age of addiction, and the age of suicide have come.

3. Blessed be God who gave us a true mission.
1) He gave us the mission to save the church (Ephesians chapter 4).
2) He gave us the power to save the next generation (Ephesians chapter 5).
3) He gave us the power to overcome Satan (Ephesians chapter 6). When we give thanks and praise, Satan collapses.

▣ Conclusion: What to restore
1. Restore thanksgiving – at this time, healing takes place.
2. Restore praise – this is completely overcoming darkness.
1) When David praised, the evil spirit departed.
2) When Paul praised in the midst of hardship, miracles took place.
3) Tremendous status and authority are revealed.
3. The confession that makes Satan kneel – when the true confession “only Christ” arises, darkness collapses.
▷ Let praise and thanksgiving toward God, who saved even me when I did not know the content of this salvation, be restored. Let all darkness be broken. This prayer must begin.

We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
Don Besig · Nancy Price

Gathered here, within this place,
We can share in God’s redeeming grace.
There’s no room for doubt or fear;
We can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day,
We will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim,
We will know our trust is in Him.

And we will keep our faith alive,
God will always be our guide.
Through the darkest night, 
We will see God’s light.
We will keep our faith alive!

We will live as God has planned,
Though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see,
But our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth;
Through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail
For we know our God will prevail.  Chorus

Benediction

The Foundational Start for the 3 Courtyards

Prayer Journal: December 20, 2025 
22. Mar. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading:  (Ac 17:1, 18:4, 19:8)

Especially for our remnants, when you come in the three-day weekend age, there are the three courtyards. Some who believe for the first time ask, “What are the three courtyards?” When God revealed, “Build the temple like this,” there were the courtyard of the Gentiles, the courtyard of prayer, and the courtyard of children. Then the meaning is great. But in Herod’s temple those three courtyards existed, and they did business there and did everything there. So Jesus drove them out with a whip, telling them to clear it out. Now, that is extremely important. What is the fundamental start of these three courtyards? (Acts 17:1, Acts 18:4, Acts 19:8) To teach that, in Acts 17:1 they went into the synagogue. Because the synagogue is the best place to teach. What do our remnants need to understand here?

Here you hold firmly to the exact mission. Remnants keep trying to find this exact mission. Then it is easy to make a small mistake. They try to get a mission from somewhere far away. Of course I am not saying that is unnecessary, but do that later. How do you hold onto the mission? How do you hold it accurately? You must hold it from the closest place. From the closest place, you look as far as the distance. In one sense, from the closest place you look as far as the future. You connect it and look all the way to eternity. That becomes the exact mission. Now then, let us look at it not only with the Bible but also with historical evidence.

When Crosby said, “It is so frustrating that I cannot see like this. What should I do for my eyes to be opened?” no answer came, I tell you. He just started as a blind man. Because he could not see. From there, he came to see all the way to the eternal world. Then history would not have had to happen, but history happened. I simply gave one real example. If you keep saying, “How can my eyes be opened? Why am I like this?” then nothing works. Later, what did he confess? “Now my prayer topic has changed. Before, seeing was my prayer topic. Now, not seeing is my prayer topic, because God guides my path.” A remarkable thing happened. He overturned the world, I tell you.

Now, remnants must first see the start from the closest place. They keep searching far away—where do you go to find it? So this one teacher had a problem come to her. When the problem came, it was so hard. Someone, a teacher, kept helping her. She received healing. She found the answer there. “That’s right! This is what I will do for my whole life.” So she saved people, and the representative figure is Helen Keller, isn’t it? That teacher is Anne Sullivan. A certain teacher helped Anne Sullivan, and it became like this. So start from the closest place. In the end, God will show you the big things and the distant things. What do I mean?

In Genesis 37:1-11, God shows it like this. Completely—how did it start? Because his brothers tormented him so much, all he could do was pray. Right? Because they were trying to kill him. Do not think of it like our home, like your home today. Back then, in that vast land there were no people, no police. If you killed someone, it was just the end. But because his brothers were trying to kill him, all he could do was pray. That is where it started. This is what evangelized the world.

In Exodus 2:1-10, it is the same. Her son was about to die. Ordinary people would try to hide the son, or run away, or save him. But that was not possible. She saw what was most possible. It is truly amazing. From the look of it, she probably sensed that the princess would come here. Right? And she also probably sensed that the princess did not have a child. She matched it exactly to that timing. And it entered the palace. What happened? It moved the world.

So the mission was given, and the place where you find it and fulfill it is the three courtyards—do you understand? The courtyard of healing, where you receive healing; the courtyard of children, where you become remnant summits; and in the end, you go to 237. The courtyard of the Gentiles—you must not miss it. It is the same, isn’t it?

In 1 Samuel 3:1-19, to the young Samuel—think about it. His mother sent him and told him to stay put, so what could he do? He stayed beside the ark of the covenant. Just as his mother told him, he held onto the covenant—how hard must it have been? He prayed, and history arose there. “Not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground.” What? After he saw this mission, from then history began to arise. It is the same.

In 1 Samuel 16:1-13, to David—an exact mission was given to David. There are cases like this too. I may find it, but someone may see and give it to me, I tell you. While you are praying, in the church, or the pastor, or people in the session, giving it is extremely important. The high priest came and gave it. Surely he said many things. If someone comes, visits, comes to David’s house, and just eats and leaves—there is no way. He gave a message. This was stamped into David’s mind. The Bible says, “From that day forward, the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him.” This is the mission remnants must hold onto, I tell you. There is no need to try to grab the mission in a hurry. Right? But you only need to know that you must hold onto the mission.

In 2 Kings 2:9-11, other prophets could not hold it, but Elisha held it. Jericho, Bethel, things like that, Gilgal—those were not the issue. “Give me this power. Give me a double portion of the Spirit.” That was actually the end of it. This means he held an exact mission.

In Daniel 1:8-9, it is Daniel chapter 1 verses 8 and 9. How did he hold it? Not with difficulty. From the closest place. But there is one difference. Daniel embraced what the prophet Isaiah had prophesied. So he knew why they had come as captives. He also knew what would happen later. It was prophesied. But there is one astounding thing. He was seated in a very high position. Though he came as a captive. He noticed it. What? The mission. So he “resolved.” Here, “I will not be deceived by this culture of darkness, and I will be a witness here.” He only did that, and it happened exactly as it was.

Lastly, there is something our remnants must know. Christ (Acts 17:1). You must know the naturalness, the necessity, and the absoluteness regarding this. You must never be ignorant of the word Christ. As I always say, I even told a Buddhist monk clearly: “If you do not know Christ, your problem will not get better. It will not be solved.” I am not insulting Buddhism—among what I have experienced, Buddhism seemed the best. I am not insulting it. Among the places I have been, aside from the Buddhist statues, the temple grounds were the nicest. Streams flow, and if you go down by the stream they even sell green onion pancakes—it was so nice. But there is no Christ. So they wander. It is not a minor problem. The naturalness, the necessity, the absoluteness regarding this.

Then worship and prayer—then in Acts 18:4 it says, “every Sabbath.” This is the three-day weekend age. Prayer taught what it is. Then the throne, the kingdom, and the work—and then in Acts 19:8, what does it teach? In Acts 19:8, it taught what an answer is. “He explained boldly about the kingdom of God.” The throne, the kingdom—now it begins to be seen. The work of the kingdom is accomplished. This is the answer. People do not know what an answer is. Do answers suddenly just pop up? That is not an answer. That is strange. This—(the throne, the kingdom, the work)—comes first. You say you received many answers in prayer, but what changed? Nothing changed. Your height even shrank by 1 cm. But the answer of (the throne, the kingdom, the work) comes, I tell you. We must teach this accurately.

Therefore today and tomorrow, the time you worship is the time when this (the throne, the kingdom, the work) is being accomplished. I will pray.

Prayer. Thank you for allowing us today as well to meet God’s covenant. Let us become those who see, enjoy, and proclaim God’s works. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Above All Circumstances

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Our circumstances expose the true condition of our faith in God. What we choose to believe—and how we respond—reveals whether our trust rests in ourselves or in God. Actions rooted in unbelief inevitably lead to fear, confusion, and misery, but actions rooted in faith lead us into God’s salvation, peace, and purpose. Our Father’s desire is not that we merely acknowledge Him in favorable times, but that we trust Him fully in every circumstance, especially when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.

When crises arise, our standard must be God alone. We falter when we interpret the world through our own limited perspective instead of through God’s promises. The Israelites at the Red Sea are a clear example. As Pharaoh approached with his army, Scripture tells us that the Israelites looked up, saw the Egyptians advancing, and were filled with terror (Exodus 14:10). Their fear did not come from the size of the army alone, but from the fact that their eyes were fixed solely on the danger in front of them. They were trapped in a chronic state of spiritual unbelief.

Because they judged the situation by human standards, their hearts quickly turned to despair. They blamed Moses and preferred their former life in slavery to trusting God in the wilderness. (Exodus 14:11–12). Fear gave birth to complaint, discouragement, blame, and unbelief. This is always the progression when faith is absent—anxiety replaces trust, and bitterness replaces hope.

Moses saw the same army, but he perceived something unseen, though far greater. He saw the hand of God at work. Instead of reacting in panic, he spoke words of faith to the people, urging them not to be afraid but to stand firm and witness the deliverance the Lord would bring (Exodus 14:13–14). Moses understood that the battle did not belong to Israel but to God. He believed that his life and the lives of the people were held securely in God’s hands.

Most importantly, Moses firmly believed God’s promise—the conquest of Canaan—would be fulfilled, no matter the circumstances. He believed in the promise of the Messiah and in the God who had already displayed His power through the plagues in Egypt. For Moses, the Red Sea was not the end of the journey but a moment for God’s glory to be revealed. Faith allowed him to see beyond the crisis and into God’s redemptive plan.

The crossing of the Red Sea became a dividing line between faith and unbelief. Those who lived in unbelief complained and despaired, while those who trusted God witnessed His power and experienced His deliverance. Unbelief breeds anxiety and fear, but faith produces stillness, peace, and confidence before God. Those who rely on the world search desperately for solutions, but those who live by the covenant wait expectantly for what God is about to do, even in the midst of danger.

True faith in the gospel is not merely a matter of words. It comes with power, the work of the Holy Spirit, and deep conviction (1 Thessalonians 1:5). This is the faith that overcomes the world, for the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God is the one who stands victorious (1 John 5:5). Such faith opens our spiritual eyes, enabling us to see life from God’s perspective rather than our own.

Living by faith does not mean that everything will unfold according to our preferences. Rather, it means we seek God’s will in every situation and align our prayers with what He desires to accomplish. Nothing in the life of a child of God happens by accident. God uses every event, every hardship, and every delay to advance His kingdom.

Paul understood this truth deeply. Even his imprisonment, which seemed like a setback, served to advance the gospel. Through his chains, Christ was proclaimed, believers were encouraged, and the message of salvation spread boldly (Philippians 1:12–14). What appeared to be a loss became an opportunity for God’s greater purpose.

In the same way, God brings people into your life and allows certain circumstances so that the gospel may be revealed through you. Every challenge becomes a mission field. Every hardship becomes a platform to exalt Christ. God is shaping your life so that His glory may be displayed in all you do.

You are a precious child of God. He lives in you by His Spirit and will never abandon you. Because of this unshakable truth, you can rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances. This is what our Father desires in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). Faith will anchor your heart in the assurance that God is at work, even when you cannot see the way forward.

Prayer. Father, open my eyes to see the gospel at work in the midst of hardship. Help me overcome my unbelief and trust You fully. Transform my perspective through the power of Your Word so that I may live by faith and not by sight. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I Will Bless You In Every Place

16. Mar. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Exodus 20:22-26

Thank you. For our second service, we need to look at an important message. In the past, after the Korean War broke out and ended, there were tremendous difficulties. Remnants today may not understand, but there were many people everywhere who carried tin cans and went around begging for rice. Even in our village, there were several orphanages. So, because they were hungry, they had to beg and eat. These people would come to our house or somewhere and say something because they were hungry: “Please give me just one spoonful of rice.” They did not say, “Please give me a bowl of rice.” They said, “Please give me just one spoonful of rice.” If someone came and said, “Please set a full table of food for me,” would that make sense? That is not a truly hungry person. A truly hungry person says, “Please give me just one spoonful.” That is what they say.

Right now, the Israelites are suffering tremendous pain in Egypt, and even in the wilderness they are actually going along a very difficult path. At this time, God said, “I will bless in every place.” Where? Why did He say that? You must confirm that today.

There are also roughly two kinds of people who go to church. People who are truly going through spiritual hardship feel so thankful even when the words “Jesus Christ” are spoken. But people who have gone to church from childhood feel little emotion, just like that. Of course not everyone is like that, but most are. So those who have truly seen the forces of darkness know what the gospel is.

So He said, “I will bless in every place.” For someone who has suffered much, how important are these words? For someone dying of thirst, water is important. When I went to Africa, there was no water. And because they cannot survive, even children drink filthy water. So many almost die when they are young, and by around age 35 they die. Because we live receiving so much blessing, we do not even know what it means to say water is good or bad. In the same way, there are so many people who live not knowing that this gospel is this blessing. Why did He say words like this—“I will bless in every place”?

▣ Introduction_ Why
It is important. It is found only in the Bible.

With regard to idol worship, it says, do not worship idols. If you worship idols, you will perish to the third and fourth generation. This is only in the Bible. The Bible is God’s Word. Other books are not God’s Word. That is why there are many wrong things in them. The command not to make an image and bow down to it appears throughout the Ten Commandments, and then it is spoken again here.

First, I will present evidence. Strangely, great powers emphasized this matter of idol worship. Why is that? Every great power made huge idols and forced people to bow down. It was like that in Egypt, in Babylon, and in Rome—exactly the same. A major event was when Japan, after taking control of our nation, forced Shinto shrine worship. Can’t you see the flow? Can’t you see that spiritual flow? It is the same in every nation. They pressured people so strongly to do shrine worship that they even killed those who refused. People who realized the gospel do not do that. Because they refused, they killed people like Pastor Ju Gi-cheol, and did things like that. After that, tremendous disasters came upon Japan. Every great power did that. It is very strange. So every great power suffered disasters. Schools do not teach these parts, so politicians do not know. This is something tremendous.

Sometimes, in 2 Corinthians 11:14, Satan appears as an angel of light. What does that mean? He appears as if he is something good. There is no such thing as a good spirit, but he appears as if he is good. As if he is good. In 2 Corinthians 4:4-5, he appears as the god who rules the whole world, so people go to fortune-tellers and do things like that. In John 16:11-14, he appears like a ruler who governs the world, like the god of the world, and he deceives like this. So in John 8:44, Satan is originally a deceiver. If you go to fortune-telling, they get everything right. Why? Because they are demon-possessed. But in the end, Satan deceives through those demons. John 8:44 says he is a deceiver, a liar. So it says the father of lies, your father, like that. It is frightening. Will Seoul National University teach this? Harvard University does not teach this. Not at all. So the whole world is being deceived without knowing.

So how does he make humans? If you look at Genesis chapters 3, 6, and 11, he drops them right into a trap. Because it becomes so hard, and because they do not know God, they have no choice but to go worship idols. He locks them into a frame and binds them with a snare. This is what the Bible reveals. And that is not the only problem.

The further evidence is that it is happening exactly the same right now. As you know, Genesis chapters 3, 6, and 11 are appearing as they are. This is Nephilim. You probably do not even know the word. The Bible contains the fundamental cause of human disasters and curses, but you probably do not even know the term. It is in the Bible. It is within John chapter 6.

Because of this, disasters, wars, continue. When disasters come, individuals suffer, but nations have no choice but to keep fighting wars against each other. You do not know what will happen. It is almost madness. Look at Russia and Ukraine right now. They are killing so many people. It sounds simple when you say it, but if that fell in your neighborhood, what would happen? That is why we must truly pray earnestly for North Korea whenever we have time. We may think we have lived to some extent, but our next generation, children, truly fall into a curse. You do not know what will happen. That is why Ephesians 6:12 says Satan seizes rulers and authorities and moves them.

Then spiritual problems keep coming, don’t they? So inevitably people suffer mentally, and illness comes. That is why God’s Word says not to do it.

Then if you do ancestral rites or rituals, what happens? If you do shamanistic rites, what happens? Ability appears, I tell you. That is why people do it. Exodus 20:3-5 speaks of it. If you do ancestral rites, rituals, idol worship, power appears. If you go somewhere in Miryang, they say that actual tears come out of some statue-making place. If you ask, “Can tears come out of stone?” they say, “Something must come out.”

In 1 Corinthians 10:20, it says demons come. The Bible clearly says, “What you sacrifice is not to God but to demons.” People say, “But my parents are coming.” That is right. A demon comes disguised as your parents. And you should not serve it—you must break it. It is an evil spirit imitating your father and mother. If it were truly your parents, they would help you. Isn’t that so? That is why in families with many ancestral rites, tremendous disasters later come. And that is not even the end—down to the third and fourth generation. That is why I have seen people who were demon-possessed struggling desperately so that it would not go to their children. But it goes to the children as well. Who would understand such spiritual things? People think it has no value, but this is the problem.

In Matthew 12:26-30, Satan is completely unknown to people, but Jesus said, “He has entered your house and seized it.” Then in Matthew 12:43-45, after they barely carried out ancestral rites and rituals, seven more demons entered. It becomes worse and worse. “The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.”

Because of this, God gave a very important Word while they were going on the wilderness road. First, what did He say? “In the place where my name is remembered, I will bless; I will bless in every place.” What is that name? In Genesis 3:15, He already gave the Word: “The offspring of the woman will strike the head of the serpent, and in the place that believes this covenant, God will truly bless.” When the age of Nephilim came, there was no other way. In Genesis 6:4-5, when curses came again, He said, “If you enter the ark, you will live. Build the ark for you, build the ark for your children.” And in Exodus 3:18, on the day they offered the blood sacrifice, they were liberated and came out.

So that name—He said, “I will bless every place that remembers it.” What is every place that remembers it? That is why, during the wilderness journey, they treated the tabernacle as important. Because worship is important, He said, “In the place where my name is remembered, I will bless in every place.” There were the three courtyards there. Imagine your children losing their parents and wandering alone in an empty wilderness. In war, that happens. They have no parents. They are small children, but when you look at their eyes, they are anxious. They are so anxious that they do not know where to go. Save the next generation and multicultural people who are spiritually like that—this is the three courtyards.

Bring them and build strength in them. That is the Sabbath, and the three-day weekend age. Therefore, because it is precious, He said, “Here I will bless you.” And to enable them to gain the power of prayer, that is the age of holy meditation. This is what you teach. On the wilderness road, He said, “In every place that remembers my name, I will bless.”

In verse 24 it is even written like this. In verse 24, it does not just say, “I will bless.” It says, “I will come upon you and bless you.” That is Immanuel. “I will come upon you and bless you.”

So for this missions conference, it is important that you invite one person. You are one person, but if you join strength, you can shine light to many nations. You must not think lightly of it. Remnants do not know when our nation was miserable. We grew up seeing it. When it was miserable, missionaries came in. If women got sick with no help, they died. So they built hospitals. Our nation became so difficult that curses came. When children had nothing to eat, foreigners came and brought milk, milk, and mixed it thin and poured it into bowls. It may sound strange, but if war breaks out, that is what happens. Even now, Ukraine and Russia are like that. At that time, missionaries who carried the gospel came into our nation and gave their lives doing it. Some died as soon as they arrived, some came and died of tropical diseases, some died in accidents. What is astounding is that their families did not give up and came back in again to preach the gospel in our nation, and they informed the whole world about the injustice suffered by Korea, a nation that never invaded others. Korea is a nation that can do world evangelization. Why? Because it has never invaded another nation. But everywhere, in all directions, others invaded whenever they had a chance. Therefore, praying for even one missionary is extremely important. It seems new church leaders are being established, and after today they asked me again to give a lecture, so I am preparing, but now church leaders must truly receive answers.

When we pray for one nation, that is conscience. Isn’t that right? We received help—so we must do it for other nations. During the war, soldiers from many nations came to Korea and died. Even now, if you go to Busan, there is a cemetery near Namchun-dong. When I went, I thought, wow, young people from all over the world came and gave their lives. And in Busan, I saw that many Turkish people died there. And the rain is still there. Yet we received such benefits, and now Korea has become a rich nation. In Korea today, desertion is the desertion of people who are full. So we too must save nations that have fallen into darkness.

We must help remnants who are in darkness. If you think of that as an expense, the whole world will be covered in darkness. “Here I will bless you.” It has no choice but to be so.

“I will come upon you and bless you in my name and in every place that remembers my name.” You must hold onto this covenant.

When you pray, what is certain is the name here. This word “name” is important. Jeremiah 33:1-3 has words like this. Jeremiah suffered great difficulty, and “the word of the LORD came again to Jeremiah.” And what came out? “The LORD who does the work.” This means the LORD did what happened now. “The LORD who does the work, the LORD who forms it to fulfill it.” God is saying He will accomplish something. Then the phrase came: “Thus says the LORD—whose name is the LORD—Call to me and I will answer you, and I will show you great and hidden things that you do not know.”

In Isaiah 7:14, it says, “A virgin will conceive and bear a son, and his name will be called Immanuel.” The name. In John 14:14, Jesus came and spoke: “Now you do not need to offer a blood sacrifice.” Right? “Pray in my name. Now you do not need to slaughter lambs. Pray in my name.” In John 17:11-12, it says, “That name is the name of the LORD.” Jesus is the name of the LORD. Jesus—salvation of the LORD. In Philippians 3:21, it says, “That name to which all things submit,” the name that makes all things submit by the name of Jesus Christ. “May the forces of darkness be bound before the name of Jesus Christ.” They are bound. When you pray, it may look like nothing is happening, but spiritually tremendous things are taking place. After time passes, strong Jews perish, and a small number of people with the gospel do world evangelization. After time passes, mighty Rome perishes, and those with the gospel do world evangelization. That is what came out. There is evidence.

This week as well, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that you will receive great answers through a very important prayer—Jethro’s prayer—and through this important covenant, “I will bless in every place.” The words “every place” do not mean every place. They mean every place where this exists—where my name is remembered. May you be those who receive great answers this week in the name of Jesus Christ.

I will pray.

We give glory and praise to God. In this time today, may the blessing of the throne come upon all people. May the kingdom of God come, and may darkness be bound. May the work of God’s kingdom arise, and may this day and time become a time when light shines. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
