The Word and You

Hebrews 4:12. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

God’s Word is living and active, at work from eternity past and unchanging into eternity future. Before time began, the Word already was, existing with God and as God, and through that Word all things came into being (John 1:1). Long after heaven and earth pass away, that same Word will remain forever, unfading and unshakable (Isaiah 40:8). This means that our faith does not rest on shifting ideas or temporary truths, but on the eternal Word of God that stands beyond time. We must believe that everything happens according to His Word (Matthew 5:18).

From the very beginning, God revealed His will through His Word. When humanity fell under the power of Satan, sin, and death, God spoke a promise of salvation—that the offspring of the woman would crush the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15). In the fullness of time, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). Jesus Christ, our Lord, is the living Word.

Jesus fulfilled the Word completely through His death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead. What the Father promised, the Son accomplished. Now, through the Holy Spirit, that finished work is applied to our lives. The Spirit gives life to those who believe the Word and confess that Jesus is the Christ. Through this divine work of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the Word becomes life to be possessed and experienced.

Because God’s will is revealed in His Word, the Word becomes the answer to every problem and every situation we face. The Word shows us who God is, who we are, where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going. When we are confused or uncertain, the Word becomes our guide, teaching us what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8). It reorients our hearts and minds toward what truly matters.

In the Word, the power of God is revealed. Through the Word, we encounter God Himself, receive forgiveness of sins, and overcome the authority of Satan. Jesus declared that whoever enters through Him will be saved and will find life (John 10:9). Standing on the Word is not a religious exercise; it is standing on the very power that saves, restores, and sustains.

The Word also leads us on the path of righteousness. Those who delight in the Word of the Lord and meditate on it day and night are described as blessed, rooted, and fruitful (Psalm 1:1–3). When our lives are shaped by the Word, we are no longer tossed around by circumstances or deceived by false paths. We grow steadily, like a tree planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in season and prospering in what God has called us to do.

The Word is the only life manual we truly need. It teaches us what success really is—not the pursuit of temporary gain, but seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33). The Word helps us live wisely in the present while keeping eternity in view, urging us to make the most of every opportunity and to understand the will of the Lord (Ephesians 5:15–18). Through the Word, God trains our hearts to live with purpose and without regret.

The Word also prepares us for the future. Our lives are short, and the Word teaches us to number our days so that we may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12). It opens our eyes to the spiritual reality of the world—the kingdom of God, the kingdom of darkness, and the authority believers have in Christ. Through the Word, we are assured that everything we need to overcome the forces of darkness has already been given to us, and that victory belongs to those who hold firmly to the Word of life.

The Word is our spiritual food. When we receive it with an obedient and expectant heart, it nourishes us, guards our hearts and minds, and leads us on paths we have never walked before. The Word penetrates deeply, bringing healing to our spirit, soul, body, thoughts, and attitudes (Hebrews 4:12). It does not merely inform us; it transforms us.

Therefore, let the Word be central in prayer. As you pray, converse with God through His Word. Listen for His voice, confirm His answers, and trust His promises for every area of your life. As rain and snow accomplish their purpose on the earth, so God’s Word will accomplish what He desires and fulfill the purpose for which He sent it (Isaiah 55:10–11). When the Word dwells richly in you, you will experience God faithfully bringing His promises to pass.

Prayer. Father, I thank You for the Word of life. Let Your Word dwell richly in me and heal my soul, spirit, body, thoughts, and attitudes. Teach me to listen, obey, and follow Your Word throughout each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Life’s Single Opportunity

Prayer Journal: December 18, 2025 
16. Mar. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Exodus 18:13-27

▣ Introduction
Thank you. I hope that those who worship throughout the nation and the world will receive the same grace. If you encounter problems, difficulties, or crises, what do you think then? God is letting you know that that time is the greatest time of blessing. To know that in advance, and to see it and believe it, is called faith. To know the answer to it is called the gospel. Those who find the way there are those who know God’s Word.
Now, today is the work of God that one person, Jethro, accomplished—something you absolutely must receive answers for. The important thing is not to look at Jethro’s answers. You must confirm that the grace God gave to Jethro is also with you. You must find that. The influence that arose because of one elder, Jethro, is tremendous. But he did not set out to do something tremendous. Now, for that, faith is important, but what faith are we talking about? Because you have faith, you are all here, but what kind of faith should it be? You must take this with you today. Before you have this, you must know what Jethro did and how he was, and what kind of faith he had before. First, you must remember three things.
1. God is blessing with three things. First, what kind of faith is it? Even now, God is blessing you with three things. You must believe it.
1) Even now, God is fulfilling the Word. Even now, God is fulfilling the Word for you. That is what I mean. Even if you say no, it is a fact.
2) God is answering 24 prayer. God is answering 24 prayer for you.
3) God is accomplishing the work of salvation. He is also accomplishing the work of salvation. You must believe the fact that He is giving you this blessing.
※ If you cannot believe this, you miss everything. If you cannot believe this, you miss everything. When they were becoming captives and dying, He spoke like this: “I have appointed you as a watchman; do not let the LORD have rest day or night.” It means He is together day and night. Therefore, you must believe this. Jethro believed this. He did not do something special.
2. Even now the Word, prayer, and the work of salvation are taking place, and the flow is seen. From that time, the second thing is seen. Even now the Word, prayer, and the work of salvation are being accomplished, and the flow is seen. Because he was within that covenant, that flow is seen. If you miss this, there is no reason to worship today. The three things surely have a flow. Therefore, what you must confirm today is, “Where am I, about how far along am I in the flow that is going?” You must see this. It does not have to be the same. For example, forty years ago, I went into the field every day. That was my evangelism. Now I should not do that. Now I am continually helping pastors throughout the nation and the world. That is the three flows I have come through until now. We started from Mark’s upper room and went to 5,000 tribes.
3. At this time, God’s work is seen. At this time, the third thing is seen. What is it? God’s work is seen. You must surely restore this blessing that comes only once in your lifetime. Even if it is not 8 billion people, God is still fulfilling the Word even now. Even if everyone denies it, God is answering prayer even now. Until the end of the world, He is accomplishing the work of salvation. You are within that flow. Elder Jethro was there. From this time, God’s work begins to be seen. He saw God’s work, that is what I mean. Evangelism is not something you do. It is something you see. Missions are not something you do. Missions are something you see. Because you try to do missions, missions do not happen. Because you try to do evangelism, evangelism does not happen. You must see God’s work. Right? What is the most important thing in your lifetime? It is this: you saw God’s work. This joy and happiness cannot be expressed.
When I was young, I told you before. While walking on the road, I picked up a large bill. When I was in elementary school. I did not know what to do with it. So I picked up money, but where am I supposed to throw it away? There is no such thing. I took it and bought snacks. They gave me this much change. The joy is indescribable. So I kept it with me and went around to all the stores buying and eating everything. So even if I spent all day, half of it remained. When I came home, I had no appetite. My mother is very perceptive. She saw right away that I was not eating. So she searched my pocket and found the remaining money. She asked, “Where did it come from?” I said, “I found it.” She said, “If you found it, and there is no owner, you should bring it home and tell your mom. Can you go around buying and eating everything?” Like that. I got scolded and it was all taken away.
I used to drive a small car, and the members of our church in Busan bought me a bigger and safer car, saying I should drive it. That is also joyful. Right? Honestly. I was living in a small house where I could barely even put books, and I purchased a big house. That is also joyful. But when you see the fact that God is with me, it cannot be expressed. “God saved a wretched sinner and is with me in doing world evangelization like this.” Feeling this is tremendous. If you are within the covenant of God who is working even now, within that flow, God’s work is seen, that is what I mean.
So what do you see? The fact that Moses’ mother Jochebed was together with him—tremendous history. Moses who lived in the royal palace for forty years. Elder Jethro met this person. It is God’s work. So he fought Pharaoh, performed the ten miracles, and saw them win and come out. All the Israelites were placed before the Red Sea. He saw what happened there. And after that, today’s event happened. Therefore, we must surely find this secret God gives.
So what happened through Jethro is a tremendous thing, but what did he say today? “All day long you judge, and the people wait all day long. Will that work? The waiting people will get exhausted, and you will also get exhausted, won’t you? How can you go on this wilderness road?” Then what he said was, “Select men of ability and virtue. Select men who fear God. Select men who hate dishonest gain. Select them and appoint them as commanders of thousands, commanders of hundreds, commanders of fifties, and commanders of tens.” He gave that advice to Moses. That is today’s main text.
Now, how did God give Jethro so many great blessings? This means: what blessing must you receive today? What blessing must you surely take with you throughout your life? You must hold onto this today. The point is that he was within the flow of the covenant. He did not do some great work. Yet it appeared as a tremendous work. Today, you must remember this. Jethro was not thinking, “I must make something tremendous happen.” No. He was simply within the covenant. He was within the flow of the covenant. So won’t God’s work take place? He was within it.
▣ Main message
Now, the question is how he was within it. It is hard for us to find this, isn’t it? How did he enter into the flow of the covenant? If you remember three things today, that is enough. This is the main message. These are the three things we must find and enjoy.
1. God’s work must be seen in today, in this time right now. First, we try to find it in strange places. Where must we first see God’s work? It is today. It is this time right now. Right? Something you can clearly see as an answer happens a little later. When is this covenant fulfilled? It is being fulfilled right now, today.
1) The eye to see today, where you are right now. – The beginning when God’s Word of creation is fulfilled Now, the eye to see today. Where are you right now? You keep missing this.
(1) Jethro saw where Egypt was, who Moses was, and who he himself was. He is in Egypt. Egypt is the field of world evangelization. Right? He saw this. And in this place, there is a figure named Moses. What is this? He is a main figure of world evangelization. We miss all of these things. Then Jethro—who am I? I am an important person who must help this Moses. That was the end of it. This is the beginning when God’s Word of creation is fulfilled.
Don’t I always say it? Answers keep coming until now. “Why can’t our church evangelize, why is it poor, why is it within illness and incompetence?” I asked that question. That is the answer. Those answers keep coming until now. No matter what anyone says, the door of evangelism keeps opening. Today, I hope you will hold onto this. “Why is our home like this?” That is the answer. “God, why do I have spiritual problems?” That is the answer, I tell you.
(2) Crosby found God’s plan and grace, and the Word. “Why can’t I open my eyes, why can’t I see—why did God make me like this?” When you do that, it is dark, isn’t it. Even spiritually it becomes dark. From there, he found God’s plan and grace. From there, he found the Word. From there, he found prayer. From there, he found his mission. That is Crosby. Right? “Why do I have so many spiritual problems?” In my view, that person is one who received the greatest blessing. You must remember this. For people whose minds are extremely poor, spiritual problems do not even come. They do not have the IQ for spiritual problems to come. So usually, if you look, people who study well, smart people—these people get many spiritual problems. Also people who consider others, endure, and bear things—they get them, I tell you. People with very poor minds, they do not get them. That is why statistics came out, saying that for fools, the probability of getting cancer is almost none. You must not miss today.
2) In this time right now, the power of the throne and the kingdom of God, and that work, are being accomplished. In this time right now, the power of the throne, the kingdom of God, and that work are being accomplished. Those who do not know this have no future. The difficulty that came to me is God’s greatest blessing. It is not believable at all, right? If you do not know this, you miss everything.
Jethro saw what kind of person Moses was. It is astonishing. This makes something that changes the world happen. There is no one who received more answers than Moses.
2. It is the choice when an event occurs. At this time, everything is accomplished. From now, I am speaking of the secret to receive answers. This is the second. It is the choice when an event occurs. At this time, everything is accomplished.
1) Jethro, who did the work of saving Many people do the work of killing, but Jethro did the work of saving. Moses is a murderer. Right? He is a fugitive. He was wanted. For an ordinary person, you should report him. But he made him his son-in-law. Didn’t he see something? And then he entrusted all management of his property to Moses. So it was while he was shepherding Jethro’s sheep that he was called.
2) The astounding covenant is being fulfilled 24. How is that astounding covenant being fulfilled? It is being fulfilled 24.
(1) The answer is received now, within my situation. When do I receive this answer? I receive it now, within my situation.
(2) The place where I am (difficulty) is the mission field. People ask how to do missions, but the land where I am standing is the mission field. Right? If you cannot succeed where you are, you cannot do it elsewhere either. Where you are is the mission field. The difficulty in your home is the mission field. Right? You must do it certainly.
(3) Jethro properly saw the flow of the covenant and was within that flow (reality). Jethro received this blessing, but he did not do some great work. He properly saw the flow of the covenant and was within it. That flow is the reality you are in now. He was living in the land of Egypt that moves the world. God sent Moses, the only one who had the gospel, there. He obtained the chance to help this Moses. This is now. Jethro saw that. So how many events happened. Each time, he did the work of saving.
3. He saw the future within the covenant. This is the third: the future. He saw the future within this covenant.
1) For 40 years in Midian, God gave Moses the Word and he recorded it. Do you know what Moses did while he was in Midian for forty years? It was the best time. He restored all of God’s Word then. In Midian. Many scholars say he wrote Genesis then. I also think so. It was a tremendous time.
Not only that. When he went before Pharaoh, Moses could have been killed, but God permitted him to go before Pharaoh. It is tremendous. He went before Pharaoh, won completely, and returned.
2) God gave wisdom to Jethro for going on the wilderness road. But today, we must go the wilderness road now. Here he delivered wisdom. “Do not do it alone. Select commanders of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens, have them do it, and you handle only the big matters.” It looks like nothing, but this became great strength for going on the wilderness road. That is why even after that, this rank system continued to appear.
3) The God who worked for Moses and Jethro still works even now. Today, you must surely take this with you. Do not miss the Word. I can also receive the blessing Jethro received. The promise given to Jethro is the same. Jethro is not here now, but the God who gave Jethro the covenant is still working even now. Right? The angels who helped Moses ahead and helped him from behind are still active even now. That God is working just as He is, here. What is needed is a person who is in that place. You must become the main figures there. You must do it. For saving the next generation, the future. This is the covenant you must hold onto in the first service today.
In fact, I am someone who lived a life of faith from childhood, but I absolutely did not know what it meant to receive answers. So when I was young, I could not believe that if I prayed, answers would come. I believed that even if I prayed, answers would not come. Then you cannot pray. But one day, as I looked at this Word, I realized, ‘Ah, I have not been liberated yet.’ As I read Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, I realized, ‘Ah, I have not been liberated from darkness.’ As I realized this covenant, answers kept coming. Especially today, elders must find many answers through Jethro, the grace they must receive.
▣ Conclusion
I will conclude. The question is where I am within these three todays. You can see it through Moses.
1. Moses’ royal palace life for 40 years For forty years, Moses learned many things in the royal palace. History reveals that there was even a university there. The name of that university is the royal palace university called “Hesperio.” There, Moses studied many things. He also learned the royal laws and politics. But that cannot do it. Of course you must learn, but with that alone, you cannot save Egypt.
2. Moses’ Midian life for 40 years Therefore, God sent him for forty years to Midian, a place where no one recognized him. It became the timetable of suffering the greatest difficulties. God prepared the best for Moses at that time. You must believe. And who was beside him? Jethro was there. It is tremendous. So he received much grace—rather. He thought he was suffering difficulty, but he entered into the deep place of prayer, and all of God’s future was completely prepared then. But even with this, it still cannot do it.
3. Moses’ wilderness life for 40 years What is it? Forty years in the wilderness. We must go that. From then on, Moses went holding nothing but a staff, and God worked. So didn’t He say, when there was no water on the way, “With that staff by which you defeated Egypt, make water come out of the rock. Take the elders there”? He said it like this. So with that one staff, all the works took place throughout the wilderness road. It is a historical fact. You must restore this fact and deliver it to the next generation.
※ Through the three courtyards and the three-day weekend age, transmit God’s power to the next generation. It is heartbreaking. In Europe, truly, truly, so many of the next generation have fallen into drugs. They are dying. America is worse. America has become a situation full of people with mental illness. The age of mental illness has come. We must transmit this power of God to the next generation. A situation we cannot overcome has now come.
So what we must pray with mission now is: why are we told to do the three courtyards? Why are we told to do the three-day weekend age? It has appeared in statistics. It is increasing rapidly. Suddenly, the number of mentally ill people is rapidly increasing. It is recorded in the Bible. Therefore, nothing but the gospel will do. There is no way to block this disaster except the gospel. When Moses was standing on the edge of a cliff, Jethro helped him. Then the history of saving the whole world took place through Moses. He completely broke down the darkness of Egypt. This is world evangelization.
Today, with this blessing, we must enjoy the blessing of all-day prayer. What happens? The power of the throne appears. Then it is finished. As you pray, the kingdom of God comes upon you. During the remaining timetable of the week, the work of God’s kingdom is accomplished—history takes place, that is what I mean. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be the best day. Even churches that are suffering difficulty are worshiping with us. It will be the best timetable. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. We give thanks that You lead us today to enjoy the power of God that You gave to Jethro. Please add the grace of God that raises up a person like Moses. Please let us enjoy answers today within God’s covenant, and let the history arise in which the flow of this covenant appears within every event, and let us be certain that it is within our future. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Hymn
Joy to the World
Isaac Watts 

Joy to the world; the Lord is come;
Let Earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry heart prepare him room,
And heav’n and nature sing.

Joy to the Earth, the Savior reigns;
Our mortal songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love.

Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

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

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

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

Scripture Reading
John 2:13-22

When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

18 The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”

19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”

20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

Message
Three Courtyards 300% — 24 · 25 · Eternity System
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su

Some people say reality is too difficult. There are people who worry about the future, worrying, “How should I live?” When you realize the gospel, that becomes a blessing. Therefore, from the lowest place, preparing the most valuable thing, 300%, is it. I did Word forums in small groups for elementary school and children’s Sunday school, for middle and high school students I gave them gospel notes and wrote letters, and for young adults I started an evangelism school. When I entered Yeongdo, because they found evangelism difficult, I had them read the gospel letters and explain them, and those gospel letters went not only abroad but even into North Korea, and change began to take place.

▣ Introduction: 300%
Prepare 300%. Go to the lowest place, or even a lower place, and find the most valuable thing.
1. Praying the bartizan of the throne, the journey, and the guidepost is 300%.
2. Being within the work of salvation, fulfillment of the Word, and answers to prayer is 300%.
3. If you have talents, field orientation, and a system that sees the future, whatever you do will succeed.
▷ The 300% system of the three courtyards 24, 25, eternity – Because we are laying the boulevard now, many talents will come in the future. Therefore, we must create the three courtyards completely with 300% preparation, 24, 25, eternity.

▣ Main
1. Inside me (prayer)
1) Seven bartizans – First of all, the seven bartizans are established inside me. This is the courtyard of prayer and the courtyard of healing.
2) Going the seven journeys through prayer is the courtyard of the Gentiles.
3) Seven guideposts – They are set up so that others and the next generation can see and come. This is the courtyard of children.

2. In the field
1) Acts of the Apostles 13:1-4 The first place Paul went was the courtyard of the Gentiles, found through prayer.
2) Acts of the Apostles 13:5-12 It is the courtyard of healing.
3) Acts of the Apostles 17:1, 18:4, 19:8 He went to the synagogue.

3. In the church
1) Disciples – Inside the church, disciples who can do this must also be raised.
2) Message – There must also be messages that can do this.
3) Facilities – If you make facilities of the three courtyards inside the church, they will come even if you tell them not to come.

▣ Conclusion
1. There must be a separate multicultural special worship service. A worship service conducted by gathering only multicultural people has a different message.
2. There must also be a separate worship service for healing.
3. For RT, set the months: in one month ministers go and pray blessing prayers for the remnants, and in another month elders go, share life stories, and pray blessing prayers—actually create this in practice.
▷ The people who must gain strength the most are elders, church leaders, ministers, and remnants; they must gain strength like this.
All ministers must absolutely make twelve bartizans. This is because Christ established the twelve apostles. When you go, there are disciples. If we truly pray and go, God has prepared them.

Forum and Prayer

Connected to the Throne

1 John 5:14-15. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

If your life is firmly built on the gospel, nothing will be able to shake you, because you are standing on the unchanging foundation of Christ. When your life is rooted in prayer, you will experience the fullness of joy that the world cannot give or take away. And when your life is centered on evangelism, your life will have eternal significance, shining the glory of the Lord that will never fade.

When you truly experience the power of the Word, the privilege of prayer, and the blessing of evangelism, your words themselves will become instruments of healing. Even in the midst of life’s storms, confusion, and uncertainty, you will begin to discern God’s purpose and direction. What once looked like chaos becomes a platform for God’s guidance to world evangelization.

Today’s Word teaches us not only that we should pray, but how we should pray—learning to discern God’s will in every situation, whether it involves problems, conflicts, or crises. Discovering God’s will does not begin with striving or anxiety. It begins by coming before Him, asking, and resting in His presence. When you seek Him, He will grant peace, clarity, and direction in His perfect timing.

Your heavenly Father is not distant or indifferent. He listens attentively to your prayers and responds according to His will, which is always good, pleasing, and perfect (Romans 12:2). For this reason, knowing how to pray is essential, because the way you pray shapes the way you live. Prayer is not a religious habit; it is the alignment of your life with God’s heart.

Everyone prays in some form. People of religion pray, people without faith pray, and even those who deny God still give their thoughts, fears, and hopes to something greater than themselves. Whatever occupies a person’s thoughts controls their heart and, in that sense, becomes their prayer. The real question is not whether people pray, but to whom their prayers are directed.

Prayer that is based on human standards, fear, or selfish desire cannot be called true prayer. You, however, are not like those who pray without knowing God. You are a beloved child of the Most High. Therefore, stop praying like unbelievers. When you pray, remember who God is and who you are in Him, as Jesus taught us, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9-10).

Your Father is the Creator who brought everything into existence by the power of His Word. He opens paths where none exist and brings life where all seems barren (Isaiah 43:19). His thoughts and ways are far higher than human understanding (Isaiah 55:8-9). And this same God lives within you through the Holy Spirit, working powerfully whenever you pray in the name of Jesus. He is faithful to fulfill every promise He has spoken in His Word.

Therefore, pray in faith. Ask not merely for what you want, but for what God desires—His kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33). This is the prayer of a true child of God. When you lay down selfish motives and ambitions and seek His will above all else, you will discover that your prayers are already being answered, as Jesus said, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11:24).

When you struggle to discern God’s will, do not be discouraged. God receives your heart before He reveals His direction. As you surrender your plans and seek His purpose, His will will become clear. Remember the words of Jesus: “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing” (John 6:63). True prayer is spiritual prayer—prayer that depends on the Spirit and is focused on God’s will, not human effort.

So, continually approach the throne of your Father, aligning your mind, soul, and body in prayer throughout the day. There you will receive new grace, mercy, and power—everything you need to stand as Christ’s witness to the ends of the earth.

Prayer. Father, open my eyes to see Your will in every area of my life. Let Your Word reveal Your heart for the world and Your purpose for me. Teach me how to pray according to Your will, so that my life may reflect Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Everything Fails If the Start Is Wrong

Scripture Reading: Exodus 20:3-5

「Start」
We must now make a new start. Therefore, the start is very important. When I went to our homes, the church, and places like that, I saw that things were very difficult. You must start well.
The fact that our parents are struggling, sick, and have no ability, and that the church is struggling and sick, has nothing to do with me. If you think it has something to do with me, then the start is wrong. Parents are parents, and I have a separate mission that I must do. I should save my parents—should I be receiving help? I should save the church—should I go down the wrong path using the church as an excuse? Because the start keeps being wrong, things do not work.
When I went to Yeongdo, there was no church building and there was nothing. It has nothing to do with me. I opened 300 churches. That means I carried out the Word movement in 300 places. After doing it for three years, over a thousand real disciples rose up. That, too, is what God does, and it does not have a special relationship with me. You must start properly.
If I were a minister or a church leader in a self-supporting church, I would look for ten golden fishing grounds. If it were me. There, I would save the church and gather disciples who save the pastor. It gets resolved quickly. So if the start is wrong, it keeps being wrong.
So even now, no matter how difficult it is, you must start well. Then how should you start in order to start well?
Tomorrow morning I am having breakfast together with our elders. Why? Because that way, meetings keep happening, and the message gets delivered. I do that when I go to Busan, and I do that when I go to Seoul. At the meal table where I eat, elders take turns and join by department, like this. So I listen to what they have to say, and also what I want to say, I give missions as well, and I do it like that. People ask a lot, “So how should we start?”
[ Word, Prayer, Salvation ]
Clearly, three things are taking place.
Fulfillment of the Word. That is right. If you cannot see this, you cannot see anything. To what extent is the fulfillment of the Word happening to me? It does not have to be exactly like this remnant; I do not have to be. It is what fits me.
This (prayer) is surely being answered. Then shouldn’t I check, ‘To what extent am I being answered?’ If you do not do this and keep saying there is no answer, that does not make sense.
The work of salvation is surely taking place. Though God is one, God works through the Word; though God is one, Christ works through salvation; and the power of the Holy Spirit works through our prayer. It is taking place even now. It is happening even now, I tell you. Then where am I within this? That is the thing.
So tomorrow, with the elders, I intend to talk about how three types of church leaders received answers. This is extremely important.
So if someone were to entrust me with denominational evangelism, I would not plant churches until perfect disciples are made. You must do that and then begin planting. If only the start is right, anyone receives answers. If the start is wrong, anyone cannot receive answers. So how important is the start? Therefore, it must be started so that evangelism surely takes place, and so that answers are received.
It is not about working hard. There are people who received answers even though they did nothing at all. Who are they? There is someone who received the greatest answers even though he did no evangelism at all. It is Theophilus. Theophilus is a main figure of the Acts of the Apostles. It is a letter that Luke sent to Theophilus. It is tremendous. I am inside this.
So ministers and church leaders in self-supporting churches must open their eyes. Like this, there are people whom God has completely prepared. Do we need the pastor’s ability? In fact, we do not need it. Do we believe in God’s power and do it, or do we believe in a person’s ability and do it?
Do we need a person’s comfort? These days, many lectures like that come out. All of that is nonsense. That is why people die. We need God’s comfort. That is what someone who does not believe in God says; a person’s comfort is not the answer. Even for women, when it comes down to it, is the husband really a comfort? And if a woman is like that, I understand. For a man, do you say, does he really need a woman’s comfort that much? There was a certain old maid who was a very smart woman, and when I asked, “Why don’t you get married?” she said there is no man. “It’s a world full of men. There are 4 billion.” She said there is no guy worthy of being her husband. “Okay, I got it.” That’s what I said. She is someone who succeeded abroad, and she says that.
If, I mean, if the church leaders come in this time and do RU, they should not just do it, but start by finding the answer: ‘What answers will I truly receive throughout my life? What does God want from me? How will I serve my church, our church?’ Shouldn’t we start after finding that answer? Then answers have no choice but to come.
If, I mean, if the church leaders come in this time and do RU, they should not just do it, but I truly, what answers will I receive throughout my life? What does God want from me? How will I serve my church, our church? Shouldn’t we start after finding that answer? Then answers have no choice but to come.
▣ Introduction _ 0.1% 「One person」
0.1%—one person is enough. This is not arrogance. It is not saying I will do it alone. It is this: if it is just one of you, God can do it.
1. Abraham – Joseph
It is Abraham. He kept starting wrongly, I tell you. So wherever he went, difficulties came. Death came, in every place he went. He realizes it. Now he began to start correctly. From that time, he began to build altars. Completely, through the later generation called Joseph, world evangelization was accomplished.
2. Slave – Moses
But then, in Egypt, they started wrongly again. They became slaves. Like this, people keep starting wrongly. Here, God raised up a person called Moses.
3. Monarchy age – David
As time passed, the monarchy age came. They made an almost wrong start. Here, who is the representative figure? David. So he received God’s guidance as king of kings.
4. Captivity age – Daniel 1:8-9
When a figure like David disappears, problems come again. I am telling you clear evidence now. The captivity age came. At this time, as you know, they were people who held onto the covenant of 0.1%. Whose covenant did they hold? They held the covenant of Isaiah. They made a firm decision. They started properly. They know why they became captives. They know what they must do. They know why they came here. So there is no reason to start wrongly. They know why God sent them to this high position. There is nothing to conflict over. The answer became clear. This overturned 237, 5,000 tribes.
5. Roman age – Wanderers – The remaining ones
Even so, because they could not understand, now, as the Roman age opened, the age of wanderers came altogether. God scattered the 0.1% remaining ones and carried out world evangelization. This is clear evidence.
▣ Main message
Then why is that?
1. Darkness
Most of these people do not know what darkness is. They do not realize this.
1) Great powers
Because they do not know what darkness is, the great powers only do bad things. God has a great plan to gather 237, 5,000 tribes and do world evangelization, and when He gives them that power, they use it to do bad things.
2) Jews
When this was given to the Jews, they do even worse things? “The gospel is ours.” It is like this. “Yahweh is our God. The Messiah is our Messiah. He is a Messiah who will smash all your nations.” They are saying things like that. Completely words that deviate from the gospel. That is why the Jews perished. From among them, 0.1% came out, that is what it means.
3) Medieval church
In this way, after completely opening world evangelization, when the medieval church was opened in the Roman age, it does something else again. They say good things. They talk about merit. They talk about good deeds. They talk about all sorts of good things, service. They say you must live rightly to be saved. They do it all. They remove only the gospel completely. This is the devil’s strategy. He gives everything and removes only the gospel. If he gives you everything and then takes away your life, what use is that? You must open your eyes to this.
God is trying to make great powers and do world evangelization, but the great powers keep doing other things. So they say, “All roads lead to Rome.” God made Rome like that, and the gospel must be thrown into it. America also must realize that. God raised up America and put the gospel into it. Why? He raised up Rome and put the gospel into it. Because you do not evangelize the gospel, God raised up America. And He puts the gospel into it. He even raised up Korea and preaches the gospel. They do not know at all. Politicians do not know. Because they do not believe in God, they do not know. We did well, and they did not do a single thing well. The Jews kept doing bad things. This (medieval church) must preach the gospel, but because power arises, they fight again?
2. Reason
It is because they do not know the reason. What do they not know?
1) Original sin
They do not even know what original sin is. It is not because of Satan. They were tempted by Satan and left God. That is original sin. In the age of Adam and Eve, people did wrong, but there Satan attacked. Nephilim. That is the age of Noah. Humans exerted power and thought they could live without believing in God, and when they joined forces, that became the Tower of Babel. That is original sin.
2) Religion
Because they do not know that, they struggle desperately. That is religion. They struggle desperately. They go looking for shamans, they go looking for fortune-tellers, they build idol temples. That is what happened. Because they do not know the reason.
3) Flesh
Later, seeing that everything is like this, it turns into fleshly things. The problem is that it began spiritually, but everything ended up coming in a fleshly way, and they do not know the reason.
Why are there so many mentally ill people in Europe? They do not know the reason. The answer is simple, but it has no choice but to come. In that great power America, why is there no gospel anymore and why are there many spiritual problems? In Japan, the most important place in Asia, why are there many spiritual problems? You must catch it quickly.
3. Method
So we must know God’s method. What did He say?
1) Genesis 3:15
In Genesis 3:15, “The offspring of the woman will strike the head of the serpent.” Other than this, it will not do. Satan is not a being that dies. The head of Satan—this means He broke Satan’s authority.
2) Genesis 6:14
And what is it? “Enter into the ark.” That is the only condition. You must enter to live. It does not get solved outside. It cannot be solved outside. “Enter into the ark. For you, for your later generation, to save life, build the ark.” There are no conditions. If you enter unconditionally, you live. There is no other condition. I tell you, there is no other condition. He said if you enter, you live. Because it cannot be done outside. Because all die in the flood. It is God’s important method.
3) Genesis 12:1-3
So, “Leave Chaldea. Go to the land I will show you.” If you go there, it works. So Abraham, at first, could not understand this word. ‘Where am I supposed to go? I have to make a living, you know. I do not even have a child, but my seed will save many nations?’ It was not believable.
But one day, he comes to realize it. From then on, because the start is right, answers to prayer begin to come. “Walk through the north, south, east, and west. Walk through it lengthwise and crosswise. I will give it all to you.” He promised. That appears from Genesis 13:18.
4) Exodus 3:18
They keep missing it. “Go to offer a blood sacrifice.” These days, the people who translated the Bible removed the word “blood (sacrifice)” completely. Real theologians and pastors are the problem. They removed the word “blood (sacrifice).” They made it, “Go to offer a sacrifice.” I do not know who made them do it, but it is subtle.
It said, “A virgin will conceive and give birth to a son,” but they removed “virgin.” They made it, “A woman will conceive and give birth to a son.” Isn’t it interesting? Things like this are happening. Anyway, if they can just remove the gospel.
The Jews taught all the excellent things and blocked only the gospel. Isn’t that right? In every age, such things happened. Each time, God gave the gospel so that they would not perish.
5) Isaiah 7:14
It comes out again. Since ordinary people will not do, “A virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and his name will be Immanuel.” Before becoming captives in Babylon, He again spoke of the way to live.
6) Matthew 16:16
When they had completely become a subject nation of Rome. To what extent were they a subject nation? In Caesarea Philippi, whose name combines Caesar the emperor and King Philip, Jesus asked. There, they said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” A tremendous message came out.
7) It is finished
From this time, what is important came out. You only need this. Christ said, “It is finished.” What does that mean? He called them to Mt Olive. He told them what the message of “it is finished” is. They came down to Mark’s upper room and experienced it. Because they must do world evangelization with this, He established Antioch through tribulation. So this gospel went to Asia, to Macedonia, to Rome. That means He finished all of it. He is saying, go. Because He has accomplished world evangelization, He is saying, go. You only need to hold onto the covenant.
[ Illness ]
What is even more important, what is urgent now, is that because this is not being done, many people have begun to fall ill.
[ Imprint, Root, Constitution ]
You must hold onto the covenant as the sure main figures. The reason remnants will surely succeed in the future? It is because this covenant has been imprinted. This imprint is important. What is Friday–Saturday–Sunday? It is imprinting. It is performing spiritual surgery and imprinting. What are the three courtyards? It is imprinting. What does it mean? It is imprinting this (Main message). It is imprinting so that you start properly.
So why do we worship? It is to begin to take root. That is how we go.
Why is it 300%? If this blessing becomes your constitution, history will take place.
[ Word, Prayer, Salvation ] – Throne, Kingdom, Work, Heavenly Army, Binding Darkness
Even now, the answers of this (Word, Prayer, Salvation) are coming. They are coming even now, and the background is the throne. Even now. It comes upon us during worship tomorrow, and the answer is that the kingdom of God comes. The work of God’s kingdom is taking place now. At this time, invisibly, God mobilizes the heavenly army. It is the same thing, but when a fight arises, He mobilizes the heavenly army. At this time, as you know, darkness is being bound. Now. Watch and see. Now, darkness is being bound.
Surely. Right now the gospel has been completely missed, but it must be restored.
▣ Conclusion
The conclusion I will do through the scattered disciples.

The Guidepost of Mark’s Upper Room

 

When we are young students, above all, the most important thing is to find what my talent is.
If we teach prayer just a little, it can be found easily.

Now, when entering university, before going out into the world, we must prepare 300%.
This may sound very difficult, but it means professionalism, then field-orientation, and a system directed toward the future.
In some ways, preparing this is actually easier.

For example, when I was in school, I prepared everything related to evangelism.
So when I went out, it was easy.
But if you try to do it after becoming a pastor, it is hard.
You end up being constantly chased.

Life is like that, and the economy is like that too—when you are always being chased, you lose margin.
That is why you must establish this now.

Especially those in their 40s and 50s who are raising young children—if you do not have certainty in your faith, the same influence will go to the next generation.
But if you look at people who are receiving blessings now, in most cases their parents prayed a lot or held onto something spiritual.
That is why you are receiving grace now.

So the question is, what must be made certain?
Especially once you pass 60, you must cultivate a special kind of strength.
And when you yourself begin to weaken and sudden illnesses come, it becomes very difficult.

Of course, our ultimate goal is not on this earth, but while living on this earth, you must possess definite strength given by God.

The bartizan of prayer, [journey], guidepost

So Christ taught the invisible bartizan of prayer for forty days.
That is what He taught.
The content of the Triune God working is contained in Acts 1:1–8.
The power of the throne is explained there for forty days.

Then you will receive power—but what kind of power it is is explained.
And with that power, you go on the journey.
While going on this journey, whether it is work or studies, you establish guideposts where real works arise.

So when you combine these words—bartizan of prayer, journey, and guidepost—that is what we call 300%.
We are lacking, but God has prepared 100% for us, so our goal is to find what He prepared.

So today, among these, we are especially looking at the guideposts.
What kind of guideposts must they be?

John 19:30

This is the guidepost of Mount Calvary.
We must not miss this.
Mount Calvary—“It is finished.”

But what does it mean that it is finished?
It means the authority of Satan, disasters, the authority of hell—all of it is finished.
But right now, I have no answers.
This is important.

It is finished, but when I came to Yeongdo, there was no church building and nothing.
The core members were elderly people, and there were only a few believers.
So while looking at that, I found the greatest answer.

I established 300 Darakbangs.
I personally ran to 30 of them.
That is how great a discovery it was.

Jesus said it was finished, but we keep missing it.
There is no need for you to be discouraged.
“It is absolutely impossible for me”—that is correct.
We must be honest.

How can we do world evangelization?
We cannot.
My own business is difficult—how can I do world evangelization?

That is why God gives the power of the throne.
That is why He explained the work of God’s kingdom for forty days.
Now, something extremely important appears here.

Acts 1:3

Where is the second guidepost?
Is it not Mt Olive?

Here, what is it?
He gave a definite mission.
He also gave a definite method.

He spoke about the work of God’s kingdom.
Since we cannot do it with our own strength, it must be by the power of the throne.
This is the second guidepost.

Holding onto this covenant, I spread the Word movement everywhere.
Holding onto this covenant, I kept raising disciples—even though they were lacking—and sending them out.

Acts 2:1

Finally, look.
This is the guidepost of the Mark’s Upper Room.
“When the day of Pentecost had fully come.”

What we must always enjoy here is Pentecost, which includes the three feasts.
For you, the work of salvation, the background of the throne, and the work of the Holy Spirit are always taking place.

Acts 11:19

Next, look—the Antioch church.
The team in the Mark’s Upper Room reached the limit of the gospel.
When they reached the limit, the scattered ones gathered, and that became the Antioch church.

You must quickly discern this.
God sent Paul, people, and finances here.
We earn money, but what God sends is more important.
Likewise, managing health is important, but what God gives is more important.

Acts 13:1–4 (Beginning)

Now finally, look.
They go out to the first mission field.
All our beginnings must be like this.

They received the guidance of the Holy Spirit perfectly.
This is how it must be done.

In the past, I only went out to camps when this was established.
If it is not, why go to a camp?
It becomes exhausting.

For me, the most exhausting thing is endlessly carrying bundles and approaching everyone as if selling something.
That is extremely exhausting.
I cannot do that.
I am embarrassed to do that.

Going to people who did not even invite you—who knows whether they will last?—that is not easy.
This is very important.
Pray until the door opens.
If God is urgent, He will open it quickly.

Acts 16:6–10

What is even more important?
There are times when things do not work.
“Macedonia.”

When God blocks something, He blocks it after preparing something real.
Because if He does not block it, we cannot realize it.
This becomes a turning point.
It is remarkable.

Acts 19:21

Finally, what is it?
“I must also see Rome.”
This is the seventh guidepost.

Many answers come out here, but at least those who live a life of faith must know the reason.
If you shake, spiritual problems come to your family and children.
That is unavoidable.

Outside, the world looks beautiful, but it is darkness and disaster.
Your children must live there without knowing anything—what should be done?
This must be made certain.

[Mark’s Upper Room]

 

Below is a word-for-word, line-by-line translation, keeping structure, tone, repetition, and sermon style as closely as possible.

[ The Mark Upper Room ]
Among these, today we are talking about the Mark Upper Room, which becomes this third guidepost. Since we already have the bartizan, the journey, and the guideposts, today we are explaining the guidepost. These are the most important points where you must receive answers from the Bible. Among them, right now we are looking at the Mark Upper Room. Today, we are now seeing the worship that took place in the Mark Upper Room. From here, several major things come out.

  1. Five powers
    Five kinds of power appear. We must experience them, right?
  2. Five timetables
    Next, here, five important timetables appear.
  3. Five doors
    And now, having received grace in this Mark Upper Room, there are five important answers, and doors are seen.
    This is what happened in the Mark Upper Room. So this is the answer you are receiving today.
  4. Five powers
  1. Acts 2:1–11
    Among the five powers, first, what followed?
    A wind-like, fire-like power appeared, during worship.
    It was not an actual wind or fire. It says “like wind,” “like fire.”
    During the time you are worshiping today, you must firmly believe this and pray.
    More important than experience is assurance.
    What does that mean? It means firmly believing what Christ promised.
    We believe people’s promises, but this is something Christ promised.
    Without the wind-like, fire-like power, you cannot save the field or the world.
    During church worship, in your field and in your work, the wind-like, fire-like power begins to work.
    Because the Holy Spirit is spiritual, when you believe now, history takes place.
    This is an astounding fact.
    “According to your faith let it be done to you.”
    “When Abraham believed, God counted it to him as righteousness.”
    That is right.
    So your words are important, because they are fulfilled.
    Your thoughts are important, because they become your level.
    Such tremendous power appears.
  2. Acts 2:9–11
    The door of the world was opened.
    Doors were opened to fifteen nations, very important nations.
  3. Acts 2:14–21
    What finally happened?
    In Acts chapter 2, verses 14–21, what is the power of powers?
    The power of the Word being fulfilled.
    That is what happened.
    The Word was fulfilled—how was it fulfilled?
    The promise God gave to the prophet Joel was accomplished.
    This is the sermon.
    It is speaking about the fulfillment of God’s Word.
  4. Acts 2:41
    Then what happened next?
    At last, this happened: three thousand disciples arose.
    At that time, if you went to church, you could be arrested.
    Yet three thousand disciples arose.
  5. Acts 2:46–47
    They could not be shaken.
    “Every day in the temple and every day from house to house.”
    This means that the covenant you hold onto during today’s worship influences you for six days.
    Right?
    Every day in the temple and every day from house to house.
  1. Five timetables
  1. Acts 2:1
    Look now.
    “When the day of Pentecost had fully come.”
    This is the timetable.
  2. Acts 2:5
    Also in verse 5 of chapter 2, it says, “at that time.”
    When does that mean?
    At the time when the day of Pentecost came.
  3. Acts 2:18
    What else? Verse 18 of chapter 2.
    Another timetable appears: “at that time.”
    What is that time?
    When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, God will show things to come—visions and dreams.
    An exact future is seen.
  4. Acts 2:41
    Again, in verse 41 of chapter 2, it says, “on this day.”
    This is the timetable.
    When do the three thousand disciples arise?
    On this day.
    Which day?
    The day when the Holy Spirit comes and the covenant concerning the future is fulfilled.
  5. Acts 2:46–47
    And it says, “every day.”
    These timetables clearly appear.
  1. Five doors
    At last, five answers—doors begin to open.
  1. Acts 2:1–4
    What kind of answer came?
    The most important promised fulfillment in the Bible—the fullness of the Holy Spirit—was accomplished.
    During your worship today, do not believe anything else; believe the work of the Holy Spirit.
    Because people do not believe this, they are even defeated by shamans.
    Right?
    They are weaker than shamans.
    Because they do not believe in the work of the Holy Spirit, they are completely defeated by the Nephilim.
    The three organizations gather and pray intensely.
    Look at Muslims—they spread something on the ground and pray even on the street.
    We do not need to do that, but we must believe.
  2. Acts 2:9–11 (Door)
    At this time, doors that naturally open are opened.
  3. Acts 2:41 (Future)
    And inevitably, as the Word is fulfilled, the future is seen.
    Like this, the doors open clearly—the door of evangelism opens, and the future is seen.
  4. Acts 2:43–45
    At this time, the economy of light is restored.
    The offering you give is the economy of light.
    Did the people in Acts 2:43–45 know what they were giving, or not?
    They may not have known that it would become the economy of light that overturns the world.
    What is important is that they gave, moved by the Holy Spirit.
    Giving everything they had is not an ordinary thing.
    They were moved by something.
    This became the foundation that saves the world.
    Your offering is like this.
    When you give offerings on Sunday, you must pray a lot.
    In a sense, the economy of light you need is important.
  5. Acts 2:46–47
    Now, every day the work of salvation takes place.
    It looks like the same passage, but it is slightly different.
    This is the timetable, and the door—the door of evangelism—continues to open.

▣ Conclusion _ Reproduction

What is the conclusion?
As you enjoy these answers, a standard appears.
Reproduction continues.
Multicultural members were in our church and then went elsewhere, and when they went there, reproduction continued.
That is the standard.
Remnants worship and then go out, and answers keep happening—that is the standard.
If not, you must check—it means you held onto the wrong thing.
It will surely happen.

So everywhere, rather these days, when I see multicultural people beginning to receive answers, I think, “Wow, this is amazing.”
Some people listen to messages for decades in Korea and it does not work, but when I see these people, the doors of answers open—it is astonishing.
There is war in Russia now.
People fled from there and came to Indonesia.
And they gather and worship.
What is their characteristic?
From the beginning, they are our members.
They heard the message—heard it in Russia—and then they met each other there.
What do you think?
Doesn’t this sound like a remnant story?
Someone went to the military and left a prayer notebook behind.
It made people cry.
A senior left it for a junior to see—and that person is our member.
Someone went abroad, and when they saw someone coming toward them, what was written on their clothes?
“Remnant.”
To us it may look ordinary, but when people who fled from war gather, they turn out to be members holding onto the gospel.
Reproduction continues.

  1. RT
    In everything you do, reproduction of remnants continues.
    That is the standard.
  2. Multicultural
    Multicultural people have come here.
    Through you, reproduction and the life movement continue.
    Do not miss this.
    Do not be discouraged.
    “I have nothing.”
    If you have nothing, then do nothing.
    Do what you have.
    I have said this many times.
    When I was a student, I was extremely poor.
    So what was the best method?
    Not using anything.
    If you do not have it, why borrow it?
    If you do not have it, do not use it.
    But there is a better path—books and the field.
    When others were going around, I could not, so I read books and went to the field.
    It helped me tremendously.
    Truly.
    Others may not understand me, but during college and graduate school, when we gathered for outings, I never went even once.
    I could not go.
    Travel? Of course I did not go.
    So when people said, “The church will pay,” I stopped it.
    Why should I travel?
    Why should I travel with church support?
    I do not think that is right.
    So when I was a seminary student and someone said they were going on a trip, sending documents to the church, I blocked all of that.

There is a better path.
There is absolutely no reason to be discouraged.
Make your work the best field where reproduction takes place.
Make the remnant’s studies like that.
Are you in very difficult circumstances?
That may be the best opportunity.

  1. Mission-field disciples
    Make it so that disciples in all mission fields can be reproduced.
    What is the standard of reproduction?
    That is 300%.
    Three hundred percent is not a difficult term.
    God’s plan for you is 100%.
    You must find it.
    There is no need to find anything else.
    On the journey you take, God has prepared 100%.
    Right?
    To save others, you must prepare the system 100%.
    This is the guidepost.
    You must believe this—what else would you believe?
    That is how you save those who are dying.

May today be the best day, in the name of Jesus Christ.
How does it become the best day?
There is grace God promised to give today.
That is called new grace.
Let us pray.

Prayer
God, please give us new grace today as well.
Please grant us new strength.
Please grant us spiritual strength to restore the three economies.
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

300% for the 3 Courtyards

Prayer Journal: December 16, 2025 
15. Mar. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 62:6-12

All evangelists must know this, but there is something the remnants must know first.
[ The destruction of Israel, captivity ]
The timetable of destruction came to Israel. Because there was no gospel, the northern kingdom of Israel was taken captive by Assyria, and the southern kingdom of Judah was taken captive to Babylon. You must remember this for sure.
[ Preparation for world evangelization ]
At this time, God was preparing world evangelization. The remnants completely triumphed in Babylon. They could not help but triumph, because people who held the covenant went in. What happened in between?
[ Isaiah ]
A person named Isaiah delivered the message. These people of Israel did not listen to the message. Those who listened to the message went in and evangelized the world.

「The three courtyards – 300%」
Therefore, the remnants must prepare 300% for the three courtyards. This is how the remnants prepared. What is 100% and what is 300%? One hundred percent for myself, one hundred percent for the field, and one hundred percent for the future. The remnants take this with them.

1. Prayer 300% (Isaiah 62:6–12)
In order to do this, the remnants must prepare 300% in prayer. This is Isaiah chapter 62 verses 6 through 12.

  1. Watchmen
    He said He set watchmen. These watchmen are 24.
  2. All day and all night
    So God said, “I will answer all day and all night.” This is 24 hours. “All day and all night I will not be silent.” After this, works arise.
  3. Highway, all nations
    Repair the highway, and raise a banner for all nations. These things happen. This was later fulfilled. Where? In Babylon. God’s Word never fails.

2. Mission 300%
Then what is mission 300%?

  1. Isaiah 60:1–2
    In Isaiah chapter 60 verses 1–2, the remnants arise, and the remnants begin to return from afar.
  2. Isaiah 60:3–19
    In Isaiah chapter 60 verses 3 through 19, you see everything returning. Ships come carrying treasures.
  3. Isaiah 60:20–22
    And in Isaiah chapter 60 verses 20 through 22 it says that the smallest will become a thousand and the weakest a mighty nation. Who does this? “I, the LORD, will hasten it in its time.” These blessings return. It happened exactly as written. Why Babylon? Because 237 is there.

[ Healing ]
This part, prayer 300%, mainly speaks about healing.
[ 237 ]
This part, mission 300%, speaks about 237.
And it does not end there. It was given from the beginning.

3. Summit 300% (Isaiah 6:1–13)
The remnants must prepare summit 300%. What in the world is summit 300%? This is Isaiah chapter 6 verses 1 through 13. This is prayer 300%, but it is already summit 300%. What appears first?

  1. The throne
    The power of the throne appeared. God is seated on the throne, and His power is revealed. At that time, seraphim and angels are mobilized. This is tremendous.
  2. Calling, vocation, mission
    At that time, three things were given: calling, vocation, and mission. They are similar words, but slightly different. What comes down from above is the calling. I am summoned. I end up doing this.
  3. The stump – RT
    This is what was said at that time: “A stump will remain.” I call this the remnant. In fact, a stump is the base connected to the roots. Everything was cut down by the enemy, but they could not cut the ground. The roots remained. New shoots began to come up from there. That is the remnant. Gospel-holding adults are the stump, and the next generation that grows from it is the remnant. It became a tree, and later formed a forest. Life began to spring out from there.

[ 5000 ]
Seeing this, you must become the summit that saves this. Without remnants, you cannot save the 5000 tribes. Therefore, from now on, you must actually pray about inviting people from the 5000 tribes. God spoke about world evangelization, but if I do not raise even one disciple within world evangelization, my direction is wrong.

In the past, an elite young man from England stayed at my house for three months. Every day I delivered the message to him, and I took him with me to meetings and to house-church fields. I even fed him soup made by a church deaconess; he said it was delicious. I did not tell him what it was until he left, because if I had, he would have fainted. Through this young man, another unusual person became connected. After about three months, a strange man came claiming to be a prophet. He said he had accurately foretold many things. What surprised me was that when I asked how he came here, he said he told this young man to come here. That young man was the son of a wealthy family and a top student at the University of Edinburgh, but he was told he needed to learn the evangelism movement. After three months, he came to take him back. It was astonishing. He gave one more prophecy and left, saying that the remnant movement is a movement that saves the world, and that although he was British, he would take part in a movement to save America. It was not offensive, so I accepted it. Now about twenty-five years have passed. He came to my house twenty-five years ago, and now remnants are beginning to rise all over the world.

Remnants must do it this way: prayer 300%, mission 300%, and then your work becomes 300%. That is becoming a summit. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Please open our eyes so that we can see the distant future now. Those who did not listen went into captivity, but the remnants accomplished world evangelization. Let us see that covenant. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Let Us Approach the Throne of God

Psalm 100:1-5.

1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2     Worship the Lord with gladness;
    come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
    It is he who made us, and we are his;
    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Evangelism is not a special gift reserved for a select group of believers; it is the very purpose of every believer’s life. When Jesus called His disciples, He called them first to be with Him and then to be sent out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons (Mark 3:13-15). This reveals that evangelism flows naturally from a life lived in communion with Christ. God has called each of us for this reason, and there is no exception to this calling.

For this reason, there is only one essential task every church must continue to do without ceasing: to teach and proclaim the good news that Jesus is the Christ. The Early Church did not treat evangelism as an occasional program but as a daily life movement. Whether in public places or private homes, they never stopped sharing the gospel because they understood that lives were at stake and that the gospel was the only answer (Acts 5:42).

Therefore, God’s kingdom and His righteousness must become the central focus of our prayers. God delights when His people pray for evangelism and for workers to be sent into His harvest field, because this prayer aligns perfectly with His heart. When we pray this way, we are no longer asking merely for personal comfort or convenience but participating in God’s redemptive plan for the world.

When we pray for evangelism, we must come before God in faith, fully trusting in His power and goodness. Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6), because faith declares that He is able and willing to act. God desires to bless those who approach Him believing, not doubting. He wants us to come before Him like a courtier entering the presence of a great King, with thanksgiving, reverence, and confident expectation (Psalm 100:4). Our God always prepares the best for His children, but without faith, we cannot see or experience what He has already prepared for us.

Discouragement and despair open the door for the enemy to attack with lies, confusion, and even physical affliction. This is why God calls us to come to Him continually. At His throne, there is mercy and grace ready to be given at exactly the right time (Hebrews 4:16). When we draw near to God, He restores our strength, renews our hope, and protects us from the enemy’s schemes.

As we pray, we must also hold firmly to God’s absolute covenant revealed in His Word. The Word of God is living and active, and when we pray while holding onto His promises, the Word works powerfully to heal, transform, and restore every area of our lives (Hebrews 4:12). God governs and sustains the world by His Word, and He always speaks before He acts. His Word never returns empty but always accomplishes His purpose (Isaiah 55:8-11).

For this reason, we must approach God’s throne trusting His Word and expecting His answer. God has promised that when we pray and believe, we will receive. Faith becomes the vessel that holds God’s answer. When we replace our own standard with God’s standard and trust what He has said, we position ourselves to receive what He desires to give.

Ultimately, our lives must be aligned with what matters most to God: saving lives with the power of the gospel. When we pray for the name of the Lord to be exalted and for the gospel to be proclaimed, God will guide us along the right paths for His name’s sake. Every person you meet and every situation you face has been introduced and allowed by God with a purpose. When you connect them to evangelism in prayer, you will begin to see God’s perfect will unfolding in ways you never expected.

Prayer. Father, I thank You for Your desire to meet with me and to work through my life. I confess that I need Your mercy and grace in every moment. Align my heart with what You care about most, and help me never miss the blessing and privilege of prayer You have given me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God’s Concerns and Your Concerns

Acts 1:6-8. Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

God promised the nations—the ends of the earth—to those who would hold firmly to His promise and devote themselves to prayer. From the beginning, His heart has been set on the salvation of the world. Yet too often, our deepest concerns do not align with what concerns God the most. Like the disciples who asked, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” we tend to focus on what benefits us personally rather than on God’s redemptive purpose for all peoples.

We resemble the Israelites who ate manna in the wilderness without recognizing the true Bread of Life standing before them. We echo the Samaritan woman who asked for water without knowing the Living Water offered to her. Though eternal life has been given to us, we often fail to experience its power because our eyes remain fixed on temporary needs. As our spiritual vision grows dim, we become anxious about what to eat, what to drink, and what to wear—chasing after the very things the world runs after—while missing God’s greatest concern: the salvation of lives through the power of the gospel.

Yet this is not who we truly are. We are children of God the Most High. Our citizenship is in heaven. We have been given the extraordinary privilege of approaching the Lord of heaven and earth at any moment, in any place, through prayer. Heaven’s resources have already been placed at our disposal for God’s eternal mission.

Now is the time to restore the absolute covenant of the offspring of the woman—the promise that crushes the head of the ancient serpent (Genesis 3:15). This covenant is the only way the power of Satan is broken. Now is the time to build the ark, Jesus the Christ, the only refuge that saves lives from the disasters that came upon the world (Genesis 6:14). Now is the time to leave the land of idols and step into the land God reveals through Christ, escaping the confusion and judgment that followed the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9; 12:1-3).

Now is the time to be fully covered by the blood of the Passover Lamb, the only way to be freed from bondage in the kingdom of darkness (Exodus 3:18). Now is the time to experience Immanuel, God with us, and return home to the Father from captivity under the enemy (Isaiah 7:14). And now is the time to cling fully to Jesus, who completed the work of the Christ and secured total victory over Satan, sin, and hell (Matthew 16:16).

When God’s concern for the nations becomes your concern, God will pour His power upon you, bringing salvation to many lives (Acts 1:8). This is what happened when the early believers gathered together and devoted themselves to prayer (Acts 1:14). The Holy Spirit descended in power, filling them completely and enabling them to proclaim the wonders of God: Jesus the Christ (Acts 2:1-13). Nothing could stop what God began.

When the church rises in prayer, God draws the nations near. God brought people from every background and language into our lives so that they may hear the gospel in a way they can understand. God orchestrates these encounters so that Jesus Christ may be made known as the answer to the fundamental needs of humanity.

Thus, do not fix your eyes on your present circumstances. Lift your eyes and see the people God has already placed around you. He has entrusted to you the only cure for the spiritual disease of this world. Do not let fear silence you. Do not let life’s worries distract you. Run to the One who conquered death forever, and boldly carry the message of reconciliation, healing, life, and power to all nations.

Prayer. Lord Jesus, thank You for conquering death and delivering me from the power of the enemy. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that I may bring healing to those You have entrusted to my care. Align my heart with Yours and make Your concern for the nations my concern. In Your mighty name, Amen.

Continuation

Prayer Journal: December 15, 2025 
2024 Southeast Asia Evangelism Lecture 2
Theme: “Opportunity of 237” (Acts 1:1-8)

Introduction
Continuity is important. Just do it. As I saw it in the Bible, I will talk once about prayer. On Sundays or Fridays, it is good for you to 반드시 do this. And for remnants, it is good to set aside one day during the three-day weekend age and try it. Pastors must do this because they preach. Jesus, during His three years of public ministry, what did He say? Simply put, He talked about throwing everything away. He spoke of throwing away even the Sabbath. In Matthew chapter 5 He said that the blessings you talk about are not blessings. In chapter 6 He said that the prayer you are doing is not prayer. In Matthew chapter 7 He said that the faith life you are living, judging by the law, is not faith life. Jesus kept going only to places that needed correction.
1) John 14:16, 14:26, 16:13 So at the very end He said this: I will send you the Counselor, the Holy Spirit; He will always be with you; in verse 26 He will remind you of everything; and in John 16:13 the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, will be with you forever and will tell you what is to come.
2) 40 Days – Mission Then for forty days He made them find an important mission. Church leaders cannot memorize all of the pastor’s sermon. Even the one who preached cannot memorize it. On Sunday you must enjoy this and find the mission. Whether small or large, you must do this to receive important answers. Remnants also must listen to the Sunday sermon and find the mission. Over forty days, simply put, a mission was given personally to each individual.
3) Seasons (Spiritual) And then they came down to Mark’s upper room. Here, very important feasts matter. “When the day of Pentecost had fully come”—Passover is that we have already received salvation, and the Feast of Tabernacles is our background. Today’s worship and receiving grace are because the day of Pentecost had already come; if Sunday worship succeeds, everything succeeds. Pastors need no other preparation when preaching; they must clearly deliver the mission.
4) Acts 2:42 Then it is Acts 2:42, following the apostles’ teaching. Adults must do this. When listening to the pastor’s sermon, you must ride the flow of where God is leading. Whether the pastor preaches well or not does not matter at all. Even if it is the greatest meeting, if you miss this, you miss everything. Preachers may look at many commentaries with their lives on the line, but they do not need that; they must pray, “What does God want to give?” The prayer I prayed after coming here was not how I would preach or whether I would preach well, but what God wants to give to the Philippines. On Sunday you must find the mission and the flow of the Word. This is important.
5) Acts 2:46–47 “Every day in the temple and from house to house.” You must ride the flow of prayer answers that arise daily from hearing the Word. This must be done.
6) Acts 3:1–12 Next, what prayer must be prayed together? This is called fixed-time prayer.
7) 24 / 25 / eternity If you continue this prayer, it becomes so. It simply becomes 24 prayer. Asking where to pray shows you do not know prayer. Asking when to pray shows you do not know prayer. It is 24. Did Joseph choose a place to pray? No—24. Then this comes: 25, the work of God’s kingdom is accomplished. This does not happen elsewhere. You must start from this Sunday and continue. Try it and see how answers come. You do not even need to wait for a specific answer—just try it.

Main – Everyday, Always
From this point, it must be done every day. It must always be done.

1. 24 – “Enjoy”
First is enjoying 24. Pray this way. In my case, I do not set a prayer time because then promises are not kept.
1) 3 Concentration Three concentrations. When you open your eyes in the morning, prayer begins. Until when? Until this comes—do it unconditionally. That is morning. During the day, turn everything into prayer. At night, find answers. This is 24. You must start this now.
2) 7/7/7 Then the content is this: bartizan / journey / guidepost.
3) Imprint When you do this, God-given 7/7/7—bartizan / journey / guidepost—becomes imprinted. This is most important. As you keep praying, they are imprinted.

2. 25 – “Waiting”
What happens then? This 반드시 comes: waiting—waiting for God’s kingdom to come.
1) 3 Setting From this point, a platform begins to be formed. Before answers come, a platform is formed. Strength arises within you and a platform keeps being formed, and naturally a watchman bartizan that saves people is established. Messages and the whole connect in communication. This is called the three settings.
2) 7/7/7 – Answer Now it is 25, a different timetable. From here, answers called 7/7/7 begin to come. Real answers come from here—answers beyond imagination continue to arise.
3) Root Roots begin to go down. Try it once. Amazing things will happen. As I always say, do everything. In the morning, when you open your eyes, breathe slowly and put all this prayer in. On inhaling and exhaling, toward the meeting and toward you, tremendous health will arise. Even if only in the morning, do it. If you do not breathe long upon waking, remnants’ brains do not come alive. Your brain stopped at twenty-five; your lungs also stopped. You must find health within prayer. In the morning simply, and at night quietly find answers. Asking how to pray shows you do not know prayer; prayer is 24. While going to Bali, I observed meditation movements, Buddhist practices in temples, and even Freemason halls—when they gather and how they do it. You must understand well: that is not it. We are 24, wherever we are. Then this 반드시 comes: God’s kingdom is accomplished.

3. Eternal – “Challenge”
From here, it is challenge. How do we challenge?
1) 3 Answer God gives answers; we go into problems, conflicts, and crises carrying answers.
2) 7/7/7 – Masterpiece We go already holding a masterpiece.
3) Nature At this time, the bartizan / journey / guidepost of the throne become completely part of one’s nature. This is prayer. Anywhere is fine. You must do this. There must be a way to concentrate in prayer; I concentrate through breathing. When remnants pray this way, work will surely arise. Therefore, it is essential. To the elders and church leaders who came to greet us today: if you start this prayer now, this will come. Without this, missions cannot be done.

Conclusion
1) 300% What is 300%? The bartizan God gives me is 100%. The journey God leads is 100%. The system God has prepared is 100%. Always prepare like this. Sometimes you ask how to prepare 300% every day—this is how.
2) Absolute Find three things: (1) Plan—what is God’s absolute plan? (2) Field—what is God’s absolute field? (3) System—what is the absolute system that carries this out and moves forward? Then it becomes 300%. From now on, do not miss it; answers to prayer must continue to arise.
3) Edit / Plan / Design Edit so that God’s Word is seen. Design so that God’s plan is seen. Design so that God’s plan is seen in the field. This is 300%. From now on, you must do this unconditionally. If you go to evangelism without this, it is hard. Especially for our young adults here, going out without this is suffering. You must go 100% led by the Holy Spirit. How do you receive that? If it is not seen, do not go. Pray until it is seen. When you start this prayer, it is seen. Then prepare the field 100%. Most important is the third: prepare a sustaining system 100%. Then it works. Amazing works will arise. I have said this several times: when I was in seminary, I prepared 300%. What content of evangelism? What about the evangelism field? How to sustain it? I prepared. Works arose without exception. I was amazed. I went to Yeongdo; there were few members. With what content should I do it? I gathered thirty members and explained this 100% for two weeks—preparation 100%. Then I opened 300 house churches—the field. Then I trained disciples to send others, and soon 3,000 disciples arose. You must do this. Remnants especially, but all of you must find the absolute plan of 300%. Next year when we meet again, we will see many fruits in the Philippines. Especially, remnants, prepare 300%. Even Bill Gates does this—why not you? Then it becomes very easy. I watch you from behind, and when I see you making very difficult things extremely hard and doing uncertain things with great effort, I cry out, “Lord!” Street evangelism is not bad; it is in the Bible. But that is meeting people on the way while led by the Holy Spirit, not going out unprepared scattering tracts. Door-to-door evangelism is in the Bible, but barging into homes without the Spirit’s guidance brings reproach. Prepare studies 300%; that is the end. Which university you graduate from is not the key; whether this is prepared is the key. What job you will have matters, but this matters more. Joseph entered as a cleaner and did this among slaves, and later became prime minister. Prayer is 24; answers are 25; what we leave is eternity. Let us give all glory to the Triune God. We believe it will surely be fulfilled.

Prayer. God, we give thanks. Let the work of saving 5,000 tribes fully arise in the Philippines. Let 300% prepared remnants arise. Let church leaders arise who save me, the field, and the church. Bless us not to miss the most blessed opportunity. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
